LOCKING HORNS: Bronwen Baker and Lara residents protest against a planned goat farm. (Rebecca Hosking) 177682

Got their goat By Luke Voogt Campaigners are butting heads with nutrient company Nuchev over a planned 4500-goat farm at Lara over fears infectious disease will threaten vulnerable residents. The No Nuchev Campaign group had collected more than 2300 signatures opposing the farm, according to organiser, Animal Justice Party member Bronwen Baker. “We absolutely don’t want it here,” she said. Local parents of children with health con-

Residents fight farm bid ditions including heart problems and cystic fibrosis had contacted Ms Baker over fears of Q fever, she said. Q fever can trigger abortions in goats and causes flu-like symptoms and sometimes pneumonia in humans. The Indy the spoke to the mother of a oneyear-old with a heart condition, living nearby

but asking not to be identified, who said the farm would force her to move. The planned farm threatened nearby homes and Lara Lake Primary School, which is roughly 1km from the site, Ms Baker said. The farm would also create noise, air pollution and traffic, and cause local property values to decrease, she added.

The group would next week make a submission urging Geelong council to appeal the proposal in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), Ms Baker said “For any of us to take it to VCAT, we’ve missed the boat by two years,” she said. But council had grounds to appeal, based on VCAT overturning a permit for Nuchev’s proposed 14,000-goat farm Moorabool in January due to Q fever risks, Ms Baker said. Continued on page 8

A call to unite with Wyndham as its population outstrips Geelong has drawn a cool response from Mayor Bruce Harwood. Geelong wanted to retain its “unique identity”, Cr Harwood said after Wyndham counterpart Peter Maynard flagged uniting the municipalities as a “new region” to win government infrastructure funding. “We’re not surprised other councils want to be part of what we have here in Geelong but we want to maintain our unique identity and position as one of the most liveable regions in Australia,” Cr Harwood said. “In Geelong we are seeking quality over quantity. We are a unique environment with unique communities. However, Cr Harwood said Geelong was still committed to achieving growth while maintaining community amenity. “This council is placing high priority on community connectivity and infrastructure to meet growing demand. We actively encourage growth but it must be sustainable and not a detractor to our liveability.” Cr Maynard called for the new super-region this week after latest figures showed that Wyndham’s population had overtaken Geelong’s, 250,186 to 247,000. “This is the first time Wyndham’s population has been greater than Geelong’s,” he said. “It’s crazy to think that a municipality on Melbourne’s urban fringe is now bigger than the second largest city in Victoria.” A forecast of unabated growth in Wyndham meant state and federal governments must be “visionary” to keep up with investment in the region, Cr Maynard said. “That’s why we’re calling on a new region to be established, called the Wyndham, Avalon and Geelong City-Rural Region. Geelong needs Wyndham, Wyndham needs Geelong and this plan would help attract investment in both areas.”

BIG CALL: Wyndham Mayor Peter Maynard thinks his municipality should \"officially unite\" with Geelong after growing a larger population.

NEWS IN BRIEF Fires erupt Firefighters have battled separate blazes on the same day west of Geelong. Emergency services said fire fighters first attended a mulch fire at Winchelsea before battling a grassfire at Lethbridge hours later on Tuesday.

Gas leaks A natural gas leak has forced emergency services to evacuate businesses at Belmont. Emergency crews rushed to the leak site at the intersection of Mt Pleasant Rd and High St on Wednesday after an underground main ruptured.

Storm rages A freak storm has battered a narrow band of Geelong, blowing over trees and damaging properties with hail and gale-force winds. The CFA said Sunday’s storm ripped a path from Herne Hill to the city’s waterfront as crews rushed to evacuate guests from a wedding in a function centre at the end of Cunningham Pier.

HOT SEAT: New saleyards advisory committee chair Cr Jim Mason.

Councillors closing in on yards sell-off A multi-million-dollar sale of Geelong Saleyards has moved a step closer after councillors this week agreed to appoint a committee for advice on “transition strategies”. The saleyards move demonstrated that the new council was willing to “engage in complex issues” that had been “around for some time”, Mayor Bruce Harwood said. The sale could provide a financial windfall as council confronts a projected $125 million debt, inherited from state-appointed administrators. Members of the previous sacked council wanted to sell the saleyards and use the proceeds to repay debt after a 2014 report valued the site at $5.4 million. The saleyards, in North Geelong amid residential areas, were also costing council $200,000 a year as use dwindled and needed a seven-figure upgrade to stay open. In 2015 the council voted to work with neighbouring municipalities on an alternative site for the saleyards but progress faltered when the Andrews Government sacked the councillors in 2016. The replacement administrators then grappled with the issue for almost 12 months amid pressure from the farming community. The administrators initially closed the yards temporarily in September 2016 then adopted the sacked council’s strategy of a “staged withdrawal“ pending further consultations. The administrators eventually decided to permanently close the 149-year-old facility to sheep and cattle sales in August last year. The new council, elected in November, moved the sales process forward this week

Lane renamed City Hall has renamed the western end of central Geelong’s Wesley Place in honour of William Goodall Hearne, who developed Hearne’s Bronchitis Mixture while living on the laneway. The new Goodall Lane name would also help alleviate confusion from the laneway’s “disjointed nature”, City Hall said.

Golfers donate 13th Beach’s Vic Open golf pro-am has raised over $42,000 for a charity assisting children with cancer, tournament organisers have announced. Challenge chief Dave Rogers said the charity was “thrilled to be one of the biggest beneficiaries from the growth of the Oates Vic Open”.

Bypass sale A Drysdale bypass is a step closer after Geelong’s council agreed to sell two parcels of land to make way for the project. The $1.9 million sale would allow the bypass access to the northern and of Peninsula Drive while also providing for an intersection at Whitcombes Rd, council said.

Educate ‘hazard’

CLOSED: Geelong Saleyards after a short-lived 2016 reopening under council administrators. when it voted to appoint the committee for advice on future “livestock exchange” and hygiene issues. The committee would give council “an opportunity to evaluate what comes next after the imminent future sale of the Geelong Saleyards”, Mayor Bruce Harwood said. “As a group, this council is demonstrating a willingness to engage in complex issues that have been around for some time. “We hope the community is starting to get a

sense of our commitment to listening and taking on board their views and working to get the best outcomes for everyone involved.” Council’s Tuesday night vote on the saleyards committee also appointed Cr Jim Mason as its chair. Cr Mason noted how the region’s “rural nature” was changing. Smaller holdings with a diversity of animals raging from cattle to horses and alpacas now characterised the local livestock sector, he said.

Adopting New Zealand’s education program for foreign drivers could alleviate the Great Ocean Road’s “greatest hazard”, state parliament has heard. The Victorian Government had a responsibility to educated holders of international licences, who were involved in 21 per cent of crashes on the road, MP Simon Ramsay said.

Stages flood-proof Earthworks have helped five more estate stages escape flood zonings in Geelong’s Armstrong Creek growth area, City Hall has announced. The works meant that the road networks in the Armstrong Waters, Ashbury and Villawood stages would hold excess water from any “100-year-flood event”, City Hall said.

Car crash kills wanted man as police arrest four others By Luke Voogt Geelong police are hunting 15 remaining offenders after releasing 20 images of wanted court-dodgers in a two-week, name-andshame campaign. One offender handed himself in and police found and arrested three others with information from the community, Geelong Acting Su-

perintendent Geoff Colsell said. Another, wanted for theft and drug-related offences, was one of two men who died in a crash at Norlane on Sunday night. Grant Rankin, 46, was driving a Commodore when a Ford Territory ran a red light and hit his vehicle at the intersection of the Princes Highway and St Georges Road about 11:50pm.

Mr Rankin’s sedan was travelling west on St Georges Road, indicating the driver’s side of the car bore the brunt of the impact. The 30-year-old driver of the Territory also died at the scene. Paramedics took the Territory driver’s 37-year-old male passenger to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Mr Rankin failed to appear on bail at the Geelong Magistrates’ Court on 31 March 2017 for offences including possessing amphetamine and motor vehicle theft. Police urged anyone who witnessed the Sunday night crash or had information on the remaining offenders to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to visit crimestoppersvic. com.au.

War refugee flees horror By Luke Voogt The tranquil wilderness of Licola Camp is far away from the ground-shaking explosions that shattered Shoghig Araboghlian’s former home city of Aleppo in 2012. Now living at Norlane, the Syrian refugee began volunteering at the camp for “deserving” children last month, a year after migrating to Australia. “That was the first time I’d seen a canoe, flying fox or giant swing,” the 36-year-old said. “I’d never tried anything like that in my life.” But Shoghig adapted quickly to the new challenges, including canoing. “At first I was going right - left I couldn’t do it,” she laughed, "but they taught me how.” A graphic designer in Syria, Shoghig studies child care at TAFE. “I love children and taking care of them.” When she heard “the camp was about having fun with children” she had to get involved. An Armenian Christian, Shoghig had a “great life“ in Syria. But in 2012 war broke, killing thousands and tearing her world apart. “We had schools collapse and churches, everything we had collapsed,” she said. Snipers shot from rooftops in her neighbourhood and explosions shock the ground almost hourly. “Snipers; if you go outside the house you never know if you’ll come back or not,” Shoghig said. “People were injured in front of my eyes.” She remembered telling her then nine-

year-old son to take shelter in a back room when shells exploded nearby. “I remember rockets everywhere. If the rockets start they never stop - 20 rockets, 30 rockets.” But when an explosion killed her six-yearold nephew on a bus in Damascus she knew she had to flee. “I can’t forget,” she said tearfully. “He and three children with him on the bus died for no reason.” “I thought, ‘I can’t live here anymore because I can’t risk my son’s life. I can’t lose somebody else - I can’t’.” Shoghig fled to Lebanon with most of her family in 2012 before migrating to Australia with her husband and son last February. “We went to a new country for a new beginning because there was no future for us as Syrians in Lebanon. We all applied together but they refused my brother and my mum.” A childhood friend helped Shoghig find her house in Norlane. “Now I don’t think of moving to anywhere else.” Her 15-year-old son studies at St Joseph’s College and the school had helped him “forget the war and start again,” Shoghig said. She volunteered at the camp to thank “everybody who is helping and supporting me.” Shoghig hoped to one day reunite with her extended family. “I told them you should move as soon as possible, Australia is a great country to start again from zero.”

HOPE: Syrian refugee Shoghig Araboghlian has "started again from zero" in Geelong. 177708 (Rebecca Hosking)

DOUBLE TAKE Police have issued the following description after an armed robbery at Norlane this week: of Hawaiian appearance, large size, and wearing … a cardboard box. That was (possibly) the pizza allegedly stolen in one of the more-desperate crimes to emerge from suburban Geelong in recent times. The Pettit Court Pizza Plunder began when a delivery driver allegedly rocked up at a particular address with his steaming goods on Wednesday night. The 23-year-old told police an armed man then appeared from the side of the house, demanding he stand and deliver the tasty loot, along with an undisclosed amount of cash. The alleged offender then ordered the driver to leave, wafts of molten mozzarella no doubt accompanying his flight to safety. Hmm. So many questions remain unanswered. Was garlic bread included, and perhaps a 1.2-litre bottle of cola? Was it a two-for-one deal? Did the offender offer a tip? And what about the customer left pizza-less? Does victim-of-crime compensation apply? All may remain a mystery but at least we can be assured of one thing: this was truly a crime with the lot. Or perhaps just extra salami! Double Take knows well the travails of pizza delivery in the various corners of Geelong. As previously revealed, the job of doling out hot Capricosas and such from the back of an earlymodel Hyundai was one of Double Take’s first jobs in Geelong. And what a learning experience it was, especially the order late one night from a bunch of bikies at Corio. A naïve Double Take arrived, with the first difficulty negotiating the side gate and a curious Rottweiler four boxes in hand after enquiries at the front door failed to elicit a response. A knock on the back door worked, with a mammoth bloke welcoming in the order to considerable applause from the garrulous gang present. “Have a beer,” Double Take was implored as a tinnie thrust violently forward. Sensibly, Double Take complied with a can-draining skol in

WHODUNNIT: A pizza, possibly like the one stolen at gunpoint - allegedly - at Norlane on Wendesday night. a desperate attempt to impress his fearsome hosts. They seemed pleased - but not satisfied. “Have another,” they urged. “Thanks, fellas, but I have to drive,” an increasingly nervous Double Take responded. “Have another, I said, you f...... c…,” came the threatening re-instruction as all eyes narrowed on the delivery boy. So Double Take had another. Quickly. A roar of approval went up, the bikies furiously refocussed on the now-mangled pizzas and trembling Double Take beat a hasty retreat. Certainly, it was one order where lingering for a tip just didn’t seem worth the effort!

From bikies to bikes, the state coalition has released an ambitious strategy to create a Melbourne-Adelaide cycling route, a large part of which would run through the Geelong region. The Great Southern Ocean Bike Trail would stretch over 1200km, the coalition announced this week with promises of a tourism boom to follow. The epic ride would take five to 15 days to complete “depending on fitness levels”, the coalition advised. Sound ambitious - especially in light of the brouhaha over plans for a cycling route linking just central Geelong with Belmont! Hopefully the coalition plans steers clear of any shops.

Geelong retail investment properties are “flavor of the month“ for major commercial property investors, according to a leading agency. The interest was riding on “massive” population growth and its consequent increase in demand for retail goods and services”, CBRE said. The company’s observation contrasted recent concerns about shopfront vacancies, especially in central Geelong. CBRE retail directors Mark Wizel and Justin Dowers said Geelong’s retail properties offered growth levels consistent with Melbourne but without the level of competition in Melbourne’s outer suburbs. “We’re seeing shopping centre investments within Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula trade at similar returns and pricing levels to metropolitan Melbourne and that’s very attractive to investors in an increasingly tight Melbourne market,” they said. “Forecasts of continued population growth also provide investors with a high level of confidence in local market fundamentals underpinning the potential for attractive capital growth.” CBRE noted projections of Geelong’s populations growing 32 per cent to 325,779 by 2036 and the peninsula’s rising 63 per cent over the same time. Geelong’s recovery from decline in the manufacturing sector provided the city with “an even greater claim to its ability to provide a sound economic base," Mr Dowers said. “Geelong’s ability to attract new employment industries, including the likes of the NDIA, Worksafe and Workcover, has given investors a lot of confidence in the resilience of the local economy and its ability to stand on its own two feet. We’re now seeing that in the growing demand for commercial property assets. “The growth in population is understandable. People are moving to Geelong because it’s a valid economic proposition."

Bike push in upgrade call By Luke Voogt

MASTER: Italian glass artist Mauro Vianello in action.

Expo to display art of glass Drysdale's Festival of Glass Expo begins off on Sunday after months of lead-up events on the Bellarine Peninsula. Organisers expect 4000 to 5000 visitors to see almost 50 stalls of colourful art, and demonstrations of glass sculpture, jewellery, mosaics and home wares. The expo features a 2018 Glass Art Awards and a treasure hunt draw that since January has sent local sleuths searching the windows of peninsula businesses for glassy treasures. Their efforts pay off at the draw of 150-plus prizes worth more than $4000. The expo includes the launch of an annual mentorship programme for local year 11 visual arts students considering careers as glass artists. Over six months three recipients receive personal tuition from established, professional glass artists. The mentorship program helps local aspiring glass artists develop their skills and encourages the community to celebrate their talents, according to organisers.

The expo runs from 10am to 4pm at Drysdale’s Christian College. In January the festival launched Glass Inspirations, an art exhibition at Drysdale's The Bungalow restaurant until March. Last Sunday the festival pace picked up with Bellarine Historical Society’s annual Historic Bottle Evaluation. This Saturday night Venetian glass master and festival artist-in-residence Mauro Vianello will blow and sculpt in front of packed room at Leura Park Estate in his sold-out show, Twilight Flames. Mr Vianello will continue demonstrations at the expo and run classes for beginning and experienced glass artists. In March with four local artists will running classes in specialist glass-working techniques as the festival concludes. More information is available at festivalofglass.net.au.

Belmont traders have urged City Hall to revitalise High Street without losing parking, according to a local business representative. About 40 traders vented their frustration at the “neglect” of the street at a council workshop on Monday night, store owner Vince Albanese said. “There was a lot of anger in the room,” the former president of the Belmont Traders Association said. “They feel like Belmont and the (nearby suburbs) have been ignored.” Mr Albanese said council focus on developing central Geelong and the waterfront, and on “massive expansions” in Leopold and Waurn Ponds, had led it to neglect other parts of the city. “We struggle to get $100 of bloody Christmas decorations.” The workshop was the first of a series relating to a proposed bicycle network, which could see council remove car parks on High Street. But City Hall officers proposed alternatives at the workshop, including one where cars and bikes would share the road, to retain on-street parking. “We want to keep the car parks,“ Mr Albanese said. “But to leave Belmont as it is, is not great either. Doing nothing is a missed opportunity.” The officers also suggested separated bike lanes on the side of High Street or within a new median strip, and removing car parks on one or both sides of the road. These options would see the removal of car parks outside Mr Alabanese’s store and nearby businesses, he said.

BIKE FIGHT: Store owner Vince Albanese wants to revitalise High Street, but without losing car parks. 176854 “If you lose that it’s just one more nail in your coffin.“ An independent study last year found on and off-street car parks in High Street were up to 66 per cent full on an average weekday and 49 per cent on the weekend. “The empty ones are far car parks that the older people that shop around here probably couldn’t and wouldn’t use,” Mr Albanese said. The same study found 25 per cent of people surveyed on High Street arrived by transport other than car. The Geelong Principal Bike Network is part of a $4.7 million TAC-funded program, and aims to connect central Geelong to Waurn Ponds and Herne Hill. Geelong Mayor Bruce Harwood was pleased to hear traders’ views. “We will continue to work with them and others involved to find the solution that best meets the needs of all concerned,” Cr Harwood said.

Residents in goats battle From front page The decision was a “material change of circumstances” since the issue of the permit, which would allow council to appeal under planning law, she explained. Residents were fuming that Geelong’s State-appointed administrators had approved the permit in July 2016 “without proper consultation“, Ms Baker said. “About 500 people are saying they are prepared to sign statutory declarations saying they didn’t know about the proposal, or didn’t understand what and where it was going.” Nuchev sent out leaflets and conducted a consultation for a site on McManus Road in 2015, Ms Baker said. “All the supposed consultation Nuchev did was in relation to that site.” But Nuchev changed the site to 240 Forrest Road South, Lara, later that year. “The first couple of (Nuchev’s advertisements) in the newspaper didn’t even have an address,” Ms Baker said. “Our researchers have found so many variations of the address that were published, it’s no wonder people were confused.” But a Nuchev spokesperson said Geelong council had conducted the required consultation and the company had undertaken “supplementary” consultation. The EPA, Geelong council and the Department of Health and Human Services had approved its “robust” risk management and infectious control plans. Nuchev said the farm would create 67 jobs plus additional indirect employment. Geelong council planning and development director Kelvin Walsh said City Hall had no ability to overturn the permit but must consider any petition it received.

COLOURFUL QUILTING: Vicki O'Halloran, John Thorpe and Zoe Clifton are aiming to raise $10,000 for Kids Plus.

(Amanda Sherring)

Charity stitched up By Luke Voogt When Curlewis quilter Zoe Clifton heard what Kids Plus did for a Geelong mother she immediately wanted to support the local charity. The woman told her Kids Plus had changed her life with provision of equipment that allowed her daughter to communicate through eye movements. “She’d just been able to have a conversation with her 23-year-old daughter for the first time,” Zoe said. “(Kids Plus) do such an amazing job.“ So the mother-of-four set out to make 100 quilts in 100 days to raise money for children

with developmental disabilities. “We’re very lucky. Our children ... don’t have any disabilities at all,” she said. “We just wanted to give something back.” Zoe has made patchwork quilts for 28 years and published four books on the subject. She gathered about 30 women last August and together, with partner John Thorpe, they have sown 107 quilts. “The volunteers that we’ve had have been so amazing - they just want to make life better for other people,” she said. The group has sold about 20 quilts, and Zoe recently donated a cheque for $3110 to Kids Plus.

She was thrilled to learn the money had gone towards palates equipment to rehabilitate children. “Our aim is to get to $10,000,” she said. “The ladies have all enjoyed this process so much that we have decided we are not going to stop. “We hope to make 100 quilts each year and continue selling them for fundraising.” Locals had bought the quilts for new babies, family members in retirement villages or hospital and as wedding presents, Zoe said. The quilts are available at Bellarine Sewing Centre.

V/Line's failure to prepare for major sports events has caused severe overcrowding on trains during summer, according to a local transport advocate. Public Transport Users Association Geelong convener Paul Westcott said V/Line should have prepared in advance for crowds attending sporting events in Melbourne. "It's bewildering as to why they haven't been able to predict the demand and meet it." The company ran trains with three carriages during sporting events, when it should have used six, he said. "It's been very annoying for people who are sitting in luggage racks and on the floor, going past the Geelong West depot seeing spare carriages." Mr Westscott acknowledged V/Line could not organise extra carriages at the "drop of a hat" but said the company should have planned ahead. V/Line had also cancelled some services due to the company being "very tight for drivers", Mr Westcott said. "Just the other night two trains from Melbourne were cancelled and people had to take the bus." A V/Line spokesperson apologised for the cancellations, explaining they resulted from staff illnesses. The company did its utmost to replace shifts when drivers fell ill, they said. The spokesperson also apologised for the overcrowding, but said the company normally prepared for major sporting efforts by provid-

ing sufficient capacity or additional trains if required. "A combination of unexpected faults and service requirements led to less carriages being available than normal on some evening and weekend services." V/Line blamed the fourth hottest January on record for almost 20 per cent of services arriving late on the Geelong line. Almost eight per cent of services failed to run at all last month mainly due to hot weather, according to V/Line. The result was worse than January 2017, when almost 17 per cent of trains were late and almost five per cent did not run at all. V/Line chief executive officer James Pinder said trains slowed down on very hot days and the company replaced some services with coaches for all or parts of the journey. "Safety is our number one priority so we enforce heat speed restrictions on really hot days because the steel tracks expand in the heat," he said. " V/Line had improved the line so trains could now travel at 130km/h when the temperature reached 36 degrees celsius, and 90km/h when the temperature hit 39 degrees, he said. "We're working to do everything we can to minimise disruptions to passengers during the summer months and continue to remind passengers to plan ahead and allow extra travel time." Mr Pinder said V/Line had just completed more than $100,000 in improvement works on the line in January to deliver "a safe and reliable service for passengers".

EQUITY GUIDANCE: Our Watch''s Scott Holmes, Pricewaterhouse Coopers’ Amanda Green and journalist Gina McColl.

Gender equality hard at work Geelong council held a gender equality forum on Wednesday, instructing local organisations on how to provide a more equitable workplace. Guest speakers Gina McColl, a journalist who won a Walkley Foundation award for her article on gendered violence, and Pricewaterhouse Coopers' Amanda Green spoke to the crowd about their work in the field. Ms McColl's two-month investigation revealed sexual harassment in the workplace was a daily occurrence for women across a wide range of industries. Scott Holmes spoke on behalf of Our Watch, an Australia-wide group which aims to end violence against women and children. The Geelong Library was fully booked out for the forum, according to Council chief executive officer Kelvin Spiller. "With the fantastic collection of guest speakers and with the importance of gender equity to all workplaces it's no surprise," he said.

The forum was the first collaboration on the issue between the City and The Sexual Assault and Family Violence Centre. The centre's chief executive officer Helen Bolton said the forum brought the "latest thinking, evidence and practical ideas to people who are keen to make changes within their organisations to increase gender equity." The forum discussed how gender equality impacts workplace productivity and provided guidance in bringing equity practices into workplace culture, according to a City statement. Other speakers included Deakin University Vice Chancellor Jane den Hollander and Geelong MP Christine Couzens. The forum addressed "a cross section of Geelong's large and small organisations, government and educational institutions", the City Hall statement said.

Fords return About 1200 Fords from across the country will line the grounds of Waurn Ponds Estate on Sunday in celebration Geelong’s rich history with the company. The 27th All Ford Day would again be a popular event for motoring enthusiasts from far and wide, said show director Scott Pigdon “The All Ford Day has secured its position as one of the largest car displays in Australia, and continues to grow each year,” he said. “Last year we saw a massive range of beautiful cars at the event, and we’ve already had some stunning vehicles sign up for the upcoming 2018 event.” The festival encapsulated the rich Ford his-

tory that Geelong had been a part of for more than 90 years, and the workmanship locals put into the cars, he said. Owners of Fords spanning a century of production will compete for trophies in 50 different prize categories throughout the day. More than 100 motor enthusiasts registered their vehicles for the show in the first three days of entries opening. The show runs from 8am to 3pm on 10 hectares of grassland, surrounded by beautiful trees and lakes. Deakin University will offer free parking at its Waurn Ponds campus for the event. Tickets can be purchased online at the All Ford Day website or on the day at the event.

INCOMING: Next GPAC chief Joel McGuinness. "Joel is currently the director of the Bunbury Fringe and South West Multicultural Festivals and ... has also held numerous industry board positions including vice-chair of the Australian Performing Arts Centres Association." GPAC interim-chair Jane den Hollander was “delighted” with Cr McGuinness’s appointment.

“Joel has worked extensively in Australia’s arts and cultural sector both in capital cities and in regional areas,” she said. “He understands the important role the arts and creative industries can play in shaping and transforming communities and will bring a wealth of experience and ideas to GPAC and the region.”

“Grazing” could make women fatter than sticking to regular meal times, according to new Geelong research. Rebecca Leech’s study found “misconceptions” about the health benefits of grazing and evidence that regular meals played “an important role in body weight and cardiovascular health”. “My research found evidence of a grazing-style eating pattern, characterised by higher snack frequency and energy intake from snacks and eating later in the day ... was associated with higher intakes of unhealthy food in both men and women, and women who were overweight or obese were shown to be more likely to have a grazing pattern." The study’s findings contrasted some recent dietary theories that favoured snacking over traditional meals for weight loss, Ms Leech said “It’s actually meal frequency, not snack frequency, that can be associated with better adherence to national recommendations for healthy eating in both men and women.” The findings supported “increased emphasis on the importance of regular meals” rather than snacking and improving snacks’ quality to prevent weight-gain, Ms Leech said. Ms Leech’s research won her an Alfred Deakin Medal for Doctoral Thesis. The PhD candidate at Deakin University’s Waterfront campus is among 3700 graduands to receive degrees at the university’s Geelong and Warrnambool campuses over the next two weeks.

A Western Australian councillor has quit so he can become the next chief of Geelong Performing Arts Centre (GPAC). Joel McGuinness tendered his resignation from City of Bunbury’s council this week as GPAC announced he had accepted the role that Jill Smith vacated last year. Cr McGuinness will leave the Bunbury council in early March before taking over at GPAC mid-month. The 2014 winner of Western Australia’s South West Business Person of the Year oversaw a $12.5 million redevelopment of Bunbury’s entertainment centre as general manager before establishing a consultancy to the state’s arts organisations and venues. He will arrive at GPAC as it undergoes stage two of its own redevelopment, costing $38.5 million. "I’m thrilled to be moving to Geelong Performing Arts Centre at such an exciting time for the centre and look forward to becoming part of the community, living and working in Geelong," Cr McGuinness said. “I’m keen to start working with the (GPAC) trust, staff and the whole community to deliver great outcomes for Geelong, the G21 Region and the broader arts sector in Victoria and nationally.” A statement from GPAC said Cr McGuinness won the job after a "national search" for the new chief executive officer. GPAC described him as an "experienced arts and culture manager" who had worked in metropolitan and regional centres throughout Australia, including four years in Brisbane .

LETTERS Ramsay’s roads rubbish

Ride idea for trade I don't understand why the shopkeepers on High St, Belmont, are reluctant to have more passing traffic with the proposed addition of bike lanes (Geelong Indy, 9 February). I have often heard that high volumes of passing traffic are a major attraction when considering a potential site for a business. Keith Bainbridge Belmont

Sloppy on the centre Regarding last week’s Indy story on Geelong’s proposed convention centre, anyone holding public office who says ‘Just build it’ in order to remove it from the agenda should be withdrawn from the project immediately for their sloppy attitude. A great amount of money is involved, the centre must be on a suitable site, of optimum size for a city of Geelong’s standing, and with sufficient parking. There’s no point slapping up a facility that will be a white elephant in a couple of years. Responsible stewards of the people would take pride in providing a first-class amenity that augments the City by the Bay. As a City of Greater Geelong ratepayer I have a keen interest in this matter. Melva Stott Anglesea

No crying over missed milk With regard to Gillian Blair’s letter in last week’s Indy, I make the following observations. Cow’s milk is for calves. If anyone drinks it they should know the risks. When I was a lad we were forced to drink it in school. I don’t miss those days at all. Kevin V Russell Geelong

Stanger than tradition Robert McDonald’s account of God producing weather (Letters, 9 February) was a welcome return to traditional thinking on climatology. Our ancestors had no doubts about it. Five days of our week are named after the gods of our Germanic forefathers: Tyr, Woden, Thor, Frea, and Saturn, the last of whom we pinched from the Greeks. The Sun and the Moon were the earliest subjects of human worship until, in this material age, their power as celestial bodies was seen as the basis of the scientific age. However, in these days of global warming and so-called climate change it is humans who are blamed for weather by burning fossil fuels and producing the devil’s gas, carbon dioxide. Some of us think this is a pity. Plants love the carbon dioxide and we enjoy the Sun and the rain. What else would we talk about with a stranger on a train? Tim Saclier Leopold

Make president black again

BUCKETS & BOUQUETS

Simon Ramsay’s letter in last week’s Geelong Indy indicated that he mustn’t travel the western district’s roads too often, as I do. Hamilton Highway is having millions of dollars spent on it. It has been transformed from what it was like two to three years ago. Also, the road between Mortlake and Warrnambool is now free of potholes, ruts and edges that were wrecked by trucks. The highway between Geelong and Colac is obviously a work in progress but will be a showpiece road when finished. I often travel to Portland and many roads are being repaired down there.

Private affair, public interest It would seem that a lack of morals is no hindrance to being a politician or deputy prime minister of Australia. The majority of Barnaby Joyce’s political colleagues claim that his affair with a staff member is a private matter. I object to this view and suggest that the issue be debated in parliament. A Dennis Herne Hill

The Barnaby effect A false but convenient assumption is that life can be divided into its segments; that one area of living can’t affect another. This leads to belief similar to split-personality disorder and which is evident in the discussion around Barnaby Joyce. Because he proved unfaithful in his marriage bond we should not assume he will be faithful in his parliamentary duties. The Bible declares that for high office a man must first be proven faithful in family matters. I believe this judgemental wisdom; that ability in lesser things leads to promotion and permeates all society until it becomes a morally inconvenient burden. The decline of moral character is today evident in all of the problems we face. A society is the product of its people’s moral character. We have discounted the influence of Godly religious instruction in our schools. There are no more moral absolutes. We are replacing moral judgements with a belief that all opinions are of equal merit, and that different family structures will produce similar outcomes in the raising of the next generation. We survive on the remaining fragments of a better past. If we can’t understand the effect of this spiritual and moral vacuum then we commit our children to further social degeneration. The old suggestion that the flapping of the butterfly’s wings have a worldwide effect might have little credibility but we can be sure that all of belief and character affects all of life. Everything affects everything. Pastor Frank Lowry Aberdeen Street Baptist Church

Greens side with enemies Last week brought another Muslim terrorist attack in Melbourne. “We will allege this was a standalone, Islamic State-inspired attack designed to cause harm to our community,” said acting deputy commissioner of national security Ian McCartney. But as usual the Greens failed to condemn the act. When they do comment on terrorism it is always to say that our Australian racist culture forces Muslims to commit terrorist acts. Funny how our culture doesn’t inspire Hindus or other religious groups to kill us! Jim Molan was the former head of our army

and served with distinction in Iraq. He is a man of immense integrity and conviction, except for a flaw: he is a conservative. He was recently appointed to the federal senate and immediately Greens leader Richard Di Natale attacked him in parliament as a war criminal, saying: “At the time of the assault on Fallujah under the command of now-Senator Molan, a UN special rapporteur said coalition forces used hunger and deprivation as a weapon of war against the civilian population“. But the “UN special rapporteur” to whom Mr Di Natale referred to is Swiss academic Jean Ziegler, who once claimed that genocidal Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe had “history and morality with him”. Mr Zeigler also helped launch the Muammar Gaddafi Prize on Human Rights and defended the Hezbollah terrorist organisation as a “national resistance movement” while calling the US an “imperialist dictatorship”. Whose side are the Greens on? Peter Rees Bell Park

Put church, banks in court An extraordinary news report this week said the value of the Catholic Church’s assets in Australia amounted to several billion dollars’ worth, aside from its monetary assets, which also would be considerable. The facts of the report related to the church being loathe to pay reparations to victims of sexual abuse, preferring instead to spend massive sums on legal efforts to protect church assets than to compensate the historically sexually abused. Mention was made of the fact that the church was “unincorporated”, making it immune to paying federal taxes. This is all well and good, as the banks are unincorporated also and thus pay no tax, either. But what was not mentioned but quite relevant was that both the church and the banks should face criminal charges; the banks, first, for money-laundering and related support of terrorism, and the church, at a minimum, for deliberately and systemically concealing the sexual abuse of young children over decades and decades. Indeed, Geoffrey Robertson’s The Case of The Pope revealed that Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the first Pope in God knows how many centuries to resign, was in charge of dealing with sexual abuse incidents for 20 years but did effectively nothing. And this bloke was a prime candidate to be Pope? The banks, churches and other sanctuaries for rampant paedophiles should face criminal charges, not the protection of successive governments. Devout Catholics should boycott Sunday services until the issues are properly dealt with and many priests are jailed. Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

With Opray Winfrey opting out, the 2020 US presidential election will likely not be a celebrity face-off. Yet why shouldn’t an African-American woman become the 46th president of the United States? Another class potential candidate has been there and more or less done that, ticking all the presidential boxes. A Harvard Law School graduate and a former gracious US first lady, Michelle Obama would not only bring stability and respect to the role but would also provide a second chance to the Democrats and to those who put their faith in but essentially lost during her husband’s 44th presidential tenure.

Some tips on dodgy knockers My advice to home owners, elderly or otherwise, if approached by persons unknown offering various services is: do not open your door to people you do not know; make no decisions on the spot, perhaps stating a need to discuss the matter with a family member; never pay on the spot, especially before the work is carried out - don't accept an offer to be driven to the work and remember that a cooling off period applies, by law, after a quote is provided;. ask for the Australian Business Number of the company concerned; ask for details on any work recently carried out in the immediate area; ask for the mobile number of the people seeking to business; if possible get the number plate of the vehicle used by those concerned; and report suspected scammers to the national travelling con men hotline on 1300 133 408 and/or local police. The above common sense advice could save readers hundreds, even thousands, of dollars. Word-of-mouth recommendations from family and friends are invariably the best and safest path when maintenance work is required around the home. Michael J Gamble Belmont

Cross over to volunteering Every March for 70 years thousands of volunteers have made a wonderful contribution to our community during Red Cross Calling. They’ve knocked on neighbour’s doors, said ‘G’day, and their combined efforts have raised millions of dollars. All of that effort has gone a long way, allowing Red Cross to help where it’s needed most; from fires to floods, reducing suffering, and keeping people safe, secure and connected. So many extraordinary volunteers here in Victoria have also gone the extra mile, not just raising money but also reaching out to their neighbours, asking how they’re going and checking on their wellbeing. Red Cross Calling is more than a fundraiser, it gives us a reason to connect and volunteer for the sake of our community. Research shows that volunteering and helping in our neighbourhoods helps us live happier, longer lives. I’d like to send a massive thanks to all those thousands of schools, businesses, community organisations and individuals who’ve answered the call over the years. These volunteers make Australia a special place to live. This year we aim to double the number of volunteers in Victoria. Will you be one of them? Join the fun today at redcrosscalling.org.au or by calling 1800 RED CROSS. Wenda Donaldson Australian Red Cross Victoria director

Rock giants play Gateway By Luke Voogt Grinspoon “wouldn’t be what it is today” without the cities like Geelong, according to eccentric front man Phil Jamieson. “The people that live there seem to like our band more than snobs in inner-city Melbourne,” he told the Indy from Perth last week. The boys from Lismore found their best fans in Newcastle, Wollongong and Geelong during their early days, Jamieson said. “We’ve been coming to Geelong since 1995 - I’ve lost track of all the places we’ve played there.” Grinspoon will return to Geelong next month alongside a line-up choc-full of iconic Aussie bands for the last gig of a national touring series. The band joined the Hotter Than Hell lineup for shows in Adelaide and Gladstone earlier this year. “Both shows were super, super fun but a little bit silly,” Jamieson said. “I had a prosthetic thrown onstage - I’m like, ‘what are you doing?’ I’ll be honest ... it’s not a regular occurrence.” The 40-year-old has been “losing track of days” flying across Australia, splitting his time between Grinspoon and playing St Jimmy in the musical American Idiot. “Tomorrow I’ll fly from Perth to Melbourne and then I’ll fly back to Perth again,” he said. Jamieson was looking forward to a break from flying around and playing alongside Regurgitator and Super Jesus at the Gateway Hotel on 3 March. “Forget us - Regurgitator and Super Jesus are sick!” he said. American Idiot was playing in Melbourne on the same weekend as the Geelong gig, he explained.

HOTTER THAN HELL: Grinspoon comes to Corio next month with line-up of Aussie rockers.

“It will be nice and easy - I’ll just ride my motorbike down from Melbourne,” he said. “I’ll say hi to Ben, Juan and Pete from Regurgitator and give them cuddles.” Jamieson remembered watching Regurgitator in Lismore in the mid-90s, when, like Grinspoon, the band was making a name for itself. “We were massive fans of them. I went and saw them and was head over heels for them.”

Jamieson was also a big fan of Super Jesus. “We were a very bratty noisy punk band, whereas Super Jesus were a bit more classy and refined.” For Jamieson playing music was all about having a good time and escapism, not singing about “politics” and “rainbows”, or the crowd reaction. “I don’t think about the crowd at all - I only

think about what I’m doing,” he said. “If you start worrying about the 100 people or 50,000 people in crowd the performance will be different.” Grinspoon will be back on the road in autumn, playing at Groovin the Moo, before Jamieson gets some much-needed respite. “I’m going to take a month off in June I think ... so I can remember what day it is,” he said.

Wolverines ‘attack’

Pirates’ twist with veterans

By Luke Voogt By Luke Voogt

ROCK HARD: The Wolverines are coming to the Sphinx.

Six prolific Australian actors will bring one of the greatest plays of all time to Geelong - with a modern twist. Giving the 138-year-old Pirates of Penzance a 21st Century “immediacy” was a unique challenge for West End veteran Philip Gould. “If the public today saw traditional Gilbert and Sullivan - unless you’re a diehard fan - you’d probably fall asleep,” he said. But like the writers of the swashbuckling original, the actors still poke fun at public figures of their time, with promoters warning the 2018 version “contains nuts and Donald Trump additives”. “Gilbert and Sullivan would write scathing comments about public figures, especially politicians, and make them look silly,” Gould said. Gould plays the Pirate King, alongside veteran singers Brian Hannan, Alison Jones, Caroline Vercoe and Chris McKenna, with Dominic Woodhead on piano. With the cast’s wealth of theatre experience they were more than comfortable improvising as the show toured Australia, Gould said. “Suddenly a look, a gesture or something comes out and fits in really well - so we keep it.” Crowds across the country were taking a shine to the play as it made its way towards Geelong, Gould said. “They’re always beaming, smiling and laughing - they’ve always had a great time - which is a great a comfort for us because we know we’ve done our job.” Pirates of Penzance comes to Geelong Performing Arts Centre for the Musical Mornings program at 10.30am on 28 February and 1 March.

The Wolverines may be the “bad boys” of Australian country music, but they’ve got hearts of gold when it comes to kids. The Tamworth band earned the nickname for its bawdy songs and crass lyrics three years ago, despite being in the music business since 1994. “We haven’t been able to shake it,” said drummer and singer John Clinton. “We did a lot of music that was sort of on the edge of country music. We’ve got some kind of cult following that we can’t really understand anyone that rides a bike really.” While some of their songs feature edgy, tongue-in-cheek humour, the blokes mostly sing about their love for sailing, riding and the country. “There’s lots of reasons to put smiles on people’s faces and that’s what we try to do,” Clinton said. In 2003 the Wolverines sailed to 14 ports for gigs which raised $35,000 for children with cystic fibrosis (CF). One of their songs, 65 Roses, tells the story of a small boy who could not pronounce the condition, which afflicted his sister. The band is still donating royalties from the song to CF research. The Wolverines have performed for tens of thousands at the Gympie Music Muster, Tamworth, Okinawa and in the Middle East for Australia soldiers. They will make their way down the highway to rock the Sphinx on 2 March. “This tour down to Melbourne is the first one we’ve done for quite a while,” an excited Clinton said. “We’re only going down there because some people asked us to go down there.”

Furphy's Refreshing Ale outdoor cinema experience is returning to the Little Creatures Brewery this January and February.

Furphy cinema under stars Furphy Refreshing Ale outdoor cinema has returned to South Geelong’s Little Creatures Brewery. The five-week cinema series began in January and continues this month, with patrons enjoying Australian classics like Chopper, Strictly Ballroom; Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Red Dog and Mad Max. Furphy marketing manager Malcolm Eadie explained that the cinema complemented the character of the local brew, which was “all about storytelling and bringing people together over a beer“. “And what better way to celebrate than inviting the good people of Geelong to come down and get among the outdoor cinema while enjoying some of the best Australian stories on offer,“ he said. Moviegoers can also access the Little Creatures Canteen for pre-screening snacks or finger

food to enjoy while watching the outdoor cinema from the comfort of a bean bag or deck chair. “The brewery village has been transformed into what feels like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory but for beer,“ Eadie said. “With the explosive growth of Furphy, we want to ensure we’re giving back to the community with local events and things to do. What better way to enjoy the summer weather than watching an Aussie classic at Geelong’s own brewery with your mates over some great food and beer.” Gates to the cinema open at 7.30pm, with screening from 8.30pm each Wednesday until 28 February. “The warmer months are the perfect time to get out and relax under the stars. We wanted to create a memorable experience through our outdoor cinema,” Eadie said. Tickets cost $20 at eventbrite.com.au.

Cafe Bear and Scoobs’ new dessert bar, I Still Want Dessert, will leave customers wanting more with a delicious range of desserts, cakes, slices and cocktails. Mark (Bear) and David (Scoobs) started up the dessert bar in mid-2017 as part of Cafe Bear and Scoobs. As David explained, the secret to the delicious desserts is his partner, both in life and business; cafe manager and head chef Mark Butcher. “Mark and I met more than seven years ago,” David said. “He’s been a chef all his life and is passionate about food and people, hence the cafe’s slogan: Combining a love of food with a love of people. “The whole idea behind the cafe is fresh, value for money food. Everything is made in-house by Mark and the other two chefs and Mark combines his dual passions of cooking and people at the cafe and regularly gets amongst the customers to talk to them about their experience.” For those who can’t choose from the cafe's great selection of cakes and slices, Mark has three signature tasting platters: Chocolate Overload, Citrus/Berry and the aptly-named Ever-Changing Tasting Plate. Along with sweeter offerings, I Still Want Dessert serves red and white wine, beer and cider as well as classic cocktails from 3pm to 9.30pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These include daiquiris, pina coladas, mojitos, margaritas and espresso martinis. The cafe also serves a large range of breakfast and lunch options throughout the day with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available.

FOCUS ON … CAREERS

New jobs at support hubs Barwon CASA / Minerva has a proud history offering therapeutic services to people impacted by sexual assault as well as women and children impacted by family violence across the Barwon, west Melbourne and Wimmera regions. The organisation also delivers professional training and promotes community awareness for gender equality and respectful relationships. Barwon CASA/Minerva works closely with the Victorian State Government and other key community support organisations. The organisation is also leading partner in the establishment of the Barwon Support and Safety Hubs (Barwon Hub), one of five launch sites across Victoria. A key recommendation of the Royal Commission into Family Violence and the Roadmap to Reform was to create a network of Support and Safety Hubs (Hubs) across Victoria. The hubs will provide women and children impacted by family violence a new, co-ordinated way to access support from community, health and justice services. The hubs will also focus on perpetrators of family violence to keep them in view and play a role in holding them accountable for their actions and changing their behaviour. Set to launch in mid-March, the Barwon hub means more jobs for family violence specialists in Geelong. Along with Family Safety Victoria, Barwon CASA /Minerva is one of the community support organisations to employ staff for the new hub. By bringing together different workforces and practices, the Barwon hub will create an integrated team and single access point to create a new way of support. “Our organisation is pleased to work in partnership with the Victorian government, Family Safety Victoria and local stakeholders in the establishment of the hubs,” arwon CASA/Minerva chief executive officer Helen Bolton said.

Barwon CASA/Minerva chief Helen Bolton has welcomed the network of new support and safety hubs.

About฀BarwonCASA/Minerva

The Victorian Government has committed to establishing a network of Support and Safety Hubs across Victoria. The Barwon Support and Safety Hub (Barwon Hub) is one of 5 new launch sites that will provide a new way of supporting women, children and young people experiencing or at risk of family violence and will change the way services work with women, children, young people, families and perpetrators of violence. The Barwon Hub team members are an integrated, collaborative team from Barwon CASA/Minerva, Bethany Community Support, Colac Area Health and Wathaurong Aboriginal Cooperative. There are currently a number of great career opportunities for highly skilled, dedicated people who share our vision for a community free from sexual assault and family violence:

This role will work in close partnership with the Hub Manager, other Practice Leaders (Integrated Practice Leader, Senior Child Protection Practitioner/s and Aboriginal Practice Leader) and Team Leaders to lead family violence practice in the Hub and support secondary consultations with internal and external service providers. The Advanced Family Violence Practice Leader will be responsible for providing practice leadership on risk assessment, risk management and planning for family violence and providing expert advice to the Hub workforce in relation to complex family violence cases and perpetrator interventions. The role will also proactively build specialist evidence-based family violence knowledge and capability across the Hub workforce in line with the Hub Service Model and Integrated Practice Framework.

As an employee of BarwonCASA/Minerva, you will join a leading organisation offering a comprehensive suite of services to clients and the community across the Barwon, West Melbourne and Wimmera Regions.

You will be a values driven person, motivated to make a difference and you hold the client at the centre of everything you do. You thrive working both autonomously and collaboratively within a dynamic, team environment. A highly qualified and experienced family violence specialist, you will have qualifications in social work or a related field, have an understanding of gender based violence and have experience providing professional, high quality case management, advocacy and support to clients. The Team Leader and Practice Leader roles require experience in leading teams and/or practice leadership, with proven skills in building capability.

The Team Leader will provide leadership to a team of Family Violence Specialist Practitioners. You will manage, support and develop team members to build a culture of high performance, collaboration and innovation. 22 GEELONG INDY

12 TOYOTA HI LUX 4X4 SINGLE CAB 1JY 5RP

Coloured for exotic heart By Derek Ogden When you’re on to a good thing . . . no need to tell Mazda that, the company, line with its Kodo - soul of motion - philosophy in which colour is a prime element of form, has splashed out on a new exotic exterior colour for its popular Mazda3. This follows the success of Soul Red Crystal in the top-selling CX-5 SUV. Since its debut, the colour has proven a fast favourite with customers, with around 22 per cent of CX-5s sold being in colour. Unfortunately, our test vehicle, a Mazda3 Maxx hatchback, was blue, so lacked some of the ‘soul’ imparted by the new hue. Not to worry. The mid-range model at $24,890, plus on-road costs, had much to offer. The Mazda3 range covers six models, all in hatchback and sedan, with two petrol engines, plus six-speed manual or automatic transmission. In a congested car market it takes more than keen pricing to climb above the crowd. Nobody knows this better than Mazda, so ignoring the above, the design of the latest Mazda3 is hardly soulless. A new front grille adds a touch of aggression. Mazda tells us the lower positioning of the Mazda badge and number plate holder hint at a lower centre of gravity. So there. There’s a newly-designed rear bumper stands for stability. Quite rightly, the driver remains the main focus of the cabin, although other occupants are not treated as second-class passengers. Meters have been simplified, a new steering wheel added and USB inputs have been moved to the centre console. The hatchback can take 308 litres in the rear cargo area, while the sedan’s boot capacity comes in at 408 litres. Mazda3 Maxx incorporates MZD Connect which puts cabin occupants in touch with the internet and provides access to social networking services. Control is via a 7-inch full colour touchscreen on the central dashboard and multifunction command controller, a knob on the centre console surrounded by related function switches. It offers Bluetooth hands-free phone operation, reception of short text messages, and internet radio such as Aha with access more than 100,000 broadcasts from around the world, even including the likes of BBC and CNN. Also featured are DAB+ digital radio, Radio Data System program information and satellite navigation. The screen also displays the reversing camera signal. The 2.0-litre petrol engine with 114 kW of power and 200 Nm of torque is available on Neo, Maxx and Touring grades. The more powerful 2.5-litre petrol engine, with 138 kW of power and 250 Nm of torque, comes standard on SP25, GT and Astina variants. The 2.2-litre-D diesel no longer appears in the picture as sales were minimal. New safety technology; including smart city geelongindy.com.au

brake support-forward is now standard across the range, while Mazda3 Maxx and all grades above get SCBS-Reverse, blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert. Maximum power of 114 kW from the 2.0-litre motor turns up late in the rev range, at 6000 rpm, so the Mazda3 Maxx is in no hurry to get off the mark. In fact, with the pedals symmetrically placed to the left and right of the driver’s centre line, and a hinged organ-type accelerator, driving is altogether an unhurried rather relaxed experience. The drive can be spiced up by means of the Skyactiv-Drive transmission, which enables the driver to move into Sport mode using the switch on the shift gate. This alters the engine characteristics, shift timing and shift speed to provide stronger acceleration at the touch of the pedal. Well positioned A-pillars and side mirrors mounted on the doors give good visibility for the driver. Occupants also experience a quieter drive thanks to better noise, vibration and harshness measures. The new Mazda3 also offers improved handling and ride comfort, thanks to G-Vectoring Control that improves chassis balance by adjusting engine torque in response to steering inputs in a unified manner and optimise the vertical loading of each tyre to give smooth and efficient vehicle behaviour - plus electric power assist steering, damper and suspension enhancements. Fuel consumption of the 2.0-litre six-speed automatic hatchback on the combined urban / highway cycle is a claimed 5.8 litres per 100 kilometres. The test car came up with 9.7 litres per 100 kilometres in town and 4.5 on the highway. Fuel economy is aided by Mazda’s idling stop / start engine system. When the driver presses the brake pedal and comes to a stop, the system automatically stops the engine. On releasing the brake or engaging the clutch to move off, fuel is injected directly into the cylinder and the engine automatically fired up. ‘Spoilt for choice’ could be the mantra of the Mazda3. The Maxx is well specced for the price, so it’s a matter of sitting down and working out the value for money. Alternatively, just pick the one you like the look of.

Luke, Andrew, David and Graham at the Barwon Tyre Centre.

Barwon Tyre team has a grip on needs With 40 years in the business, Barwon Tyre Centre’s Graeme McMahon has its customers’ tyre needs covered. Graeme has watched the industry evolve to offer the large variety of brands and types available today. “I’ve seen plenty of changes in the tyre industry in that time,” he said. “We used to have five manufacturers in Australia. There are 40 different brands now - if not more.” Graeme purchased Barwon Tyre Centre eight years ago and works beside his son Luke, who has followed in his footsteps since the age of 14. “He’s done a mechanical apprenticeship so he can do both the tyre and mechanical side of things,” Graeme said. Graeme said he takes the time to find out his customers’ requirements and financial situation. He has everything from “entry level” to top brand tyres. The company also does mechanical work, including major and minor services. “The personalised service is what we pride ourselves on,” he said. “A lot of our customers are repeat business and we get to know them by their name.” Graeme, 56, hopes his son can take over the family owned business when he retires. “But only if he behaves himself,” he joked. The business has sponsored Camp Quality for eight years and supports the Belmont Lions Football Club and the Belmont and Highton bowls clubs. Graeme is also keen “help the local schools” by with work experience and currently employs a local apprentice. The Barwon Tyre Centre offers a courtesy car service.

North reclaims top as leak foils Lions LOCAL CRICKET Jim Timberlake Geelong Cricket Club is one step closer to a return to finals action following a clinical victory over Essendon last weekend. Losing the toss and being asked to bat, the Cats started poorly, falling to 3/41, before Mitch Reid (72), continuing his good run of form, steadied the ship. Two quick wickets left the side exposed at 5/124, however, Brenton McDonald (54), Dom McGlinchey (26) and Brody Couch (44*) all made valuable contributions to see the side reach 293. On day two, despite an early wicket to McGlinchey (3/56), Essendon was looking good when they reached 3/164. But again it was McDonald (4/54) who stood tall, cutting a swathe through the Bombers’ lower order to dismiss the hosts for just 249. With two games remaining in the regular season, Geelong hosts St Kilda over the next two Saturdays, and a win would almost guarantee the Cats a spot in the finals. Geelong Cricket Association also has two games remaining, and in division one the jockeying for positions inside the top four continues with a number of games last round seeing the musical chairs remain unfilled. North Geelong reclaimed top spot following East Belmont's unsuccessful run chase of Grovedale's 220, although its job wasn't made any easier after arriving to find a wet pitch courtesy of a mysterious sprinkler malfunction the preceding Thursday night. The Lions did well to fight it out and make

Jim Timberlake 191 and, despite dropping a place on the ladder, will lose no confidence in the fact they can compete with anyone at the business end. Lara comfortably accounted for Leopold to retain fourth spot, while Geelong City remains nipping at Lara’s heels with a win over St Josephs at College Oval. Most games this coming round pit the top few teams against the bottom few, although Newtown & Chilwell, which is still an outside chance of making the top four, will have destiny in its own hands when hosting North Geelong. The Two Blues have been in pretty good touch and will not fear the ladder leadersat all. Selections: Murgheboluc v GROVEDALE, EAST BELMONT v St Josephs, South Barwon v LARA, Leopold v GEELONG CITY, NEWTOWN & CHILWELL v North Geelong. In division two, Torquay remains in fourth spot on the ladder although its loss to Bell Park last round left the door open slightly for High-

ton to force its way back in. The Tigers do have the advantage of what looks to be a better draw on paper, with games scheduled against St Peters and Manifold Heights, while the Heat will need to thrash Newcomb & District this game before facing in-form Bell Post Hill in the final round of the season. Torquay would remain the bookies favourite to take the last finals spot but, as we see every year around this time, a sneaky outright can change the course of a season in the blink of an eye. Selections: TORQUAY v St Peters, BELL PARK v Bell Post Hill, HIGHTON v Newcomb & District, MARSHALL v Manifold Heights And in division three, Thomson roared back to the top of the ladder with an amazing victory over Modewarre last week. Defending a paltry 106, the Tigers looked gone for all money when Modewarre reached 3/52 and then not long after 4/68. But when Jake Ibbs was dismissed the rest of the lineup completely choked to be all out for an extremely disappointing 86. At the other end of the top four, Alexander Thomson annihilated Corio to claim outright points and move four points clear of fifth placed St Albans Breakwater. The Super Saints have been in reasonable form of late but face Thomson this round in a game they will simply have to win or its season over. Selections: Waurn Ponds Deakin v ALEXANDER THOMSON, GUILD SAINTS v Corio, THOMSON v St Albans Breakwater, Modewarre v GEELONG WEST.

ONE TO WATCH: Jakara Anthony in action.

Barwon Heads girl a star on Korean slopes Barwon Heads teen Jakara Anthony has cemented her place as a rising star of skiing after narrowly missing out on a medal in her first winter games. The 19-year-old missed out on bronze in the women’s moguls by just 2.05 points, after scoring 75.35 in the final at PyeongChang. “It’s pretty awesome, it’s a great result and I’m so happy,” Anthony told Channel 7. “A bit bittersweet to miss out on the podium but I’m still stoked, it’s my best result yet, I’m just so happy.” geelongindy.com.au

The score was Anthony’s career-best performance, beating her fifth place finish at a meet in Utah last month, and Australia’s bestever placing in a women’s moguls. The young skier, who was ranked 14 in the world before the Olympics, now has her sights set on Beijing 2022. Anthony started skiing as a four-year-old at Mt Buller and at 16 made her moguls World Cup debut at Deer Valley in January 2015, placing 33rd. The Christian College graduate is a keen

surfer in her downtime and took a gap year in 2017, deferring her Biomedical Science degree at Deakin University. France’s Perrine Laffont, won gold in the moguls with a score of 78.65, while Justine Dufour-Lapointe of Canada won silver (78.56) and Kazakhstan’s Yulia Galysheva won bronze (77.40). Australia started yesterday morning ranked 13th on the medal tally with one silver and one bronze.

Anglers found mixed bags of quality flathead, pinkies, pike and whiting off Clifton Springs last week. The Curlewis Bank fired, producing most of the species and with some of the flatties over 50cm. Fishing near the nearby mussel beds was also a great option, with some more thumping big flathead and whiting snapping up baits. The reef and weed patches between Indented Heads and St Leonards fished well for squid. Casting artificial jigs worked, with bag-limit captures reported. The Indented Heads boat ramp jetty was a hot spot for squid on calm nights, while the Bourke St area just out from St Leonards’ yacht club produced nicesized whiting to 40cm on pippies or tenderised squid baits. The deeper water gave up gummy sharks to 6kg on fresh squid bait or pilchards. Swan Bay’s channel also fished well for gummies on the incoming tides. The Rip produced some seriously big kingfish to more than 1m for anglers either live-baiting or jigging with knife jigs. Gone Fishing Charters’ Chris Vasilevski guided clients onto some outstanding kings as well as tuna. Huge Australian salmon continued erupting on the surface in feeding frenzies, taking lures indented for kingfish or tuna. Offshore, anglers tangled with kings averaging 6kg in the area from the back of Point Lonsdale to Barwon Heads. Trolling white occy skirts with a squid strip on the end was a great way to cover ground and find feeding fish. The Barwon River estuary was a great place to fish land-based, with lots of smaller-model salmon, whiting and mullet devouring prawns fished on running sinker rigs. Mulloway were about for anglers prepared to play the waiting game with fresh baits. Heading west, Steve and Ross Threlfall, from Trelly’s Fishing World, did well fishing at Nelson on the Glenelg River. The guys caught well-conditioned bream and estuary perch. On the freshwater front, lakes Purrumbete and Bullen Merri went from strength to strength. Large Chinook salmon over 60cm were taken from both lakes by anglers who anchored up and fished pilchard fillets amongst berley trails. Trophy brown trout still made an appearance at Purrumbete, where downrigging Tassie Devils was the key to success. Numerous redfin were also taken at Purrumbete on jigs and soft plastics. The Barwon River from Buckley Falls to Breakwater produced some serious carp and redfin. Casting small hardbody lures such as Atomic Shads in colour #17 worked well on reddies to 35cm, while mud marlins to almost 8kg took corn fished on running sinker rigs. Next week might be worth fishing for snapper off Clifton Springs as they make another run, although the kingfish will be hard to pass up in The Rip or off Point Lonsdale. Freshwater anglers should head west for trophy trout and salmon at Purrumbete and Bullen Merri.
