MP uses parliament to urge State Government:

Fund Heads golf titles Victorian Open should attract Government funding. City of Greater Geelong has committed to spend more than $90,000 annually on the event for the next three years. Major events councillor Bruce Harwood said securing the “prestigious” event was a “great coup” for the region.

was possibly the world’s only golf tournament combining men’s and women’s events. Mr Eren said 144 men and 120 women would compete, attracting up to 20,000 spectators. “The golf championship event is also a huge opportunity to promote the full range

of tourist attractions on the Bellarine Peninsula,” he said. Liberal Member for South Barwon Andrew Katos said he had already raised the matter with Sport and Recreation Minister Hugh Delahunty and Tourism and Major Events Minister Louse Asher before Mr Eren mentioned it in parliament.

Young novices join surge in BMX at Geelong regional schools titles BY MICHELLE HERBISON BMX novices had a taste of competition this week at Geelong’s first regional schools championships in the sport. Cycling Victoria event organiser Chris Ball said interest in BMX had surged since last year’s smaller event. Increased awareness of the sport through the London Olympics may have sparked interest, he said. Dedicated riders and novices from as far as Warrnambool, Portland and Ballarat flocked to Geelong for the western region “development program”, Mr Ball said. “About four coaches lined up at various spots around the track to give the riders the skills necessary to start racing,” he said. The event aimed to encourage more primary and secondary students to get involved in BMX racing.

“The top three from each division will gain free entry into the final at Knoxfield in Melbourne but everyone else will still be able to enter. You don’t have to qualify,” Mr Ball said. Geelong BMX Club secretary Steve Glab said the club had about 65 members. “This year we’ve had a great influx of new kids into the club. The kids like the excitement when they’re racing together,” he said. “BMX is a 40-second sport. Normally they do one lap and they pump through it. “It comes down to equipment and technique and fitness.” Mr Glab said Geelong’s was “one of the leading regional tracks” but the club hoped to expand further. Geelong BMX Club trained twice a week after school time, he said.

PEDIGREE

BY MICHELLE HERBISON A HEROIN overdose put a Geelong man in hospital on the day he broke into and stole a van, a court has heard. Adam Hill, 32, of Swanston St, Geelong, faced the city’s magistrates court this week on theft and drink driving charges. Police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Geoff Lamb told the court Hill broke into a locked Ford van in Swanston St on the evening of January 18. “He forced the steering wheel lock sufficient for it to break,” Snr Const Lamb said. Hill drove the van to Latrobe Tce and left it near Kardinia Cafe. Snr Const Lamb said Hill told police he was “a bit screwed up at

the time” and “really had no reason” for the theft. Defence lawyer Lauren Matthews said Hill was admitted to Geelong Hospital the same day. “On that day he was found on the streets with a heroin overdose,” she said. Hill had little memory of the events but “acknowledges he’s done the wrong thing”. Snr Const Lamb also told the court Hill drove with a blood alcohol limit of .155 on March 7. Ms Matthews told the court Hill had been working to regain control of his life in recent years but in December had “relapsed for the first time since 2008”. “Although he has fallen off the tracks he’s making an effort to put

it right again,” she said. The mother of Hill’s two children died from a heroin overdose in February and he hoped to regain custody of them, the court heard. The children were in the care of their grandparents and Hill was living with his parents. He had worked in various jobs including a newsagency and a horse-riding school, had attended counselling support groups and had sought medical treatment. Magistrate Stephen Myall disqualified Hill from driving for 30 months and placed him on a 12month community corrections order to undergo rehabilitation for drugs, alcohol, mental and other health issues.

Children dicing with death in disused silos

REPORTS of assaults have surged in Geelong and the Surf Coast, according to new police statistics. Victoria Police released figures this week showing assaults up 24.8 and 46.6 per cent in Geelong and the Surf Coast respectively as part of a statewide trend of rising violent crime, particularly family violence.

Teachers strike TEACHERS and support staff walked out of schools across the region on Wednesday as part of statewide industrial action for more pay and improved conditions. Premier Ted Baillieu said the “disruptive” strike would affect students and parents but the education union said staff would be on hand at schools to monitor children without supervision available on the day of the strike.

Kelly’s gold GEELONG’S Kelly Cartwright has won Australia’s first gold medal at the 2012 London Paralympics. Cartwright broke a world record and posted a personal best on her way to winning the F42/44 long jump competition.

Super grass GEELONG’S council has unveiled a new inner-city walkway of artificial grass. Mayor John Mitchell said the Lt Ryrie St “pedestrian linkage” was one of numerous “innovative ideas” for transforming inner city areas for foot traffic.

Paris option CORIO’S federal MP was in Paris this week to talk about cooperation with France in the Pacific. Richard Marles said he travelled to Haiti after the French trip to “see first-hand” the island nation’s recovery from a devastating 2010 earthquake.

Parking platform FREE parking is among the policies of a new candidate running for Geelong council’s inner-city ward. Drumcondra businesswoman Michelle Heagney said wiping out parking fees was among options she would investigate to reinvigorate trading in central Geelong if she won Brownbill ward at October’s municipal elections.

Deathtrap: The crumbling silos, bearing the handiwork grafitti artists. regarding the land on which the silos are sited continuing with the landowner.’’ Would-be Fyansford Green developer Rob Moltoni had hoped to negotiate a deal to turn the giant silos into residential units. He studied US silos developments for ideas until engineering reports indicated the Herne Hill structures unsuitable. But the massive $300 million, 2000-house

Fyansford Green project went bust late last year. The 115-hectare parcel at the former Fyansford cement works below the silos is now for sale. A City of Greater Geelong spokesman said the City’s building services department would send officers to check on the security issue. Council would ask the owners to make the site safe if the inspection found it was insecure and posing a danger to the public.

‘Big part’ of Cats history gone with Bert Worner BY NOEL MURPHY GEELONG’S Cats will don black armbands in honour of former premiership player Bert Worner when they take on Fremantle in Saturday night’s elimination final.

Assaults rise

Geelong from 1951 to 1955, was presented with life membership earlier this year while in hospital. Cats chief Brian Cook described him as “a dasher’’ and “a big part of our history’’. “He was a great bloke,” Mr Cook said. “He was still very active around the club, certainly while I’ve been here the last decade. He attended every quarterly reunion of the ’51-

’52 teams. “He was a strong, steady sort of guy. He was just a really cool sort of dude; strong, settled in his ways and he liked to be among the boys.’’ Worner was recruited to Geelong from Tyntynder, near Swan Hill. He debuted in round eight of 1951. At 178cm and 78 kg, he played 65 games and kicked 10 goals. His funeral service will be at Geelong Crematorium 1pm Friday.

A pure source of protein taken in a liquid form straight after your session, could almost double the effectiveness of what you have done, as compared to that taken an hour after.

BY NOEL MURPHY GEELONG’S abandoned cement works silos have become a dangerous playground for teenagers and graffiti artists. Underground tunnels, shattered concrete buildings and tall structures pose challenges for reckless young adventurers to climb and scramble across, undeterred by poor security. The giant McCurdy Rd silos, disused for more than a decade, attract youths with cameras, spray cans and iron bars, as this reporter discovered last weekend. A teenage girl produced photos she had taken in a disused cement works tunnel. “It’s so scary down there, it’s totally black,’’ she said, showing images of her flash-whitened mates’ faces in the tunnel. A youth, lugging a 60cm iron bar across his shoulder, described another tunnel running beneath the site, its entrance under a massive pile of shattered concrete. He pointed out graffiti daubed across a tower about 10m above the ground. “They had to lean upside down out the windows to do that, pretty much,’’ he said. The pair, part of a group of four youths, told the Independent they climbed a fence to gain entry to the site. Gaps in the fencing wide enough to walk through were easily found. “It’s a great place,’’ said the tall trespasser. “Heaps of people come here.’’ Adelaide Brighton leases the silos from VicTrack, which owns the site. The silos, a huge grey blot on the landscape, according to nearby residents, have been left to crumble as teens with spray cans make a mockery of security signs and warnings. Nearby residents are frustrated that the silos have been allowed to simply fall further into disrepair over more than a decade. “The kids used to climb right up to the top, the very top, until someone took away steps but they still come and go whenever they like,’’ an Autumn St resident said. “It’s a hole. Anyone can do anything they like there. “Rubbish flies off the site, there’s so much crap. If you get a big enough storm it starts flying all over the neighbourhood.’’ Adelaide Brighton Cement said in a statement it took “all reasonable steps to ensure the integrity of appropriate perimeter fencing’’ was maintained around the old Geelong Cement silos. “In relation to the future of the cement silos, Adelaide Brighton advises the development of the silos is undecided at this time with discussions

Inaction bewilders bayfront residents BY NOEL MURPHY FRAN and Rolf Kohnert expected coffee shops, bike trails and slick apartments along the Corio Bay foreshore when they moved from Melbourne to Rippleside. But they can’t understand why the bayside outlook hasn’t been developed. Or why derelict buildings stand abandoned and ignored along the bayfront. Or why Geelong doesn’t even

have its degraded foreshore on the planning agenda. “Plenty of people with money would retire here and buy real estate if the view of Corio Bay was enhanced,’’ Mrs Kohnert said. “Remove the power station and build apartments, go ahead with Rippleside Quay, build a restaurant strip like at the waterfront and North Geelong might come alive.’’ The Kohnerts decided to retire in Geelong 18 months ago to be

They were excited by the Rippleside Quay project, which they discovered on the internet. “We imagined coffee shops, a bike trail and attractive apartments,’’ Mrs Kohnert said. “It was one of our deciding factors in choosing our home nearby. As North Geelong has no coffee shops within easy walking distance or much in the way of restaurants, it was a big drawcard.”

BY NOEL MURPHY CORIO Bay needs a master plan to help repair and revive its neglected foreshore, according to Geelong mayoral candidate Keith Fagg. He said property owners and investors needed a clear vision of what Geelong wanted for the bayside if they were to help restore large tracts of the waterside from their rubbish-strewn, abandoned condition. Corio Bay is in a sorry state with dumped asbestos, a dangerous ruined power station, an undeveloped shipyard in disrepair, eroding cliffs, vandalised heritage sites and an abandoned former gun club smothered in shattered clay pigeons. Mr Fagg said multiple and varied ownership of the bayside sites made the neglect difficult to tackle. “It’s a bit like the CBD,” he said. “If it was possible for the City of Greater Geelong and the State Government to bring together an overall master plan for the area at least it would give property owners a direction for what they might be able to do. “The bay is clearly a key asset for the city, as an attraction, as a lovely environment that sets off Geelong so beautifully. It’s very important for our community.’’ Mr Fagg suggested government funding for capital projects would remain tight for the next five to 10 years, highlighting the need for greater clarity among private investors about what they could achieve within the Corio Bay precinct. Council’s role should be to assist private investors, he said. Political, coastal management and environmental figures have slammed the state of the bayfront in recent weeks. Incumbent mayor John Mitchell said he would be happy to see the foreshore’s recovery “on the agenda’’. “It would have to be one of the best bays in Australia but it’s not properly looked after in the way it should be. It really is a shame.’’ Mayoral candidate Stephanie Asher said a healthy long-term work-life balance had to be struck for Corio Bay. The bay’s health should a focal point of the Geelong mayoral election, Ms Asher said. She called for a roundtable between stakeholders

Banking Deakin stresses on Heads lower premium BARWON Heads is celebrating the return of banking services, according to its new bank’s steering committee. The committee said shareholders of the Community Bank branch had joined the community to celebrate the bank’s “grand opening” this week. The branch is a Bendigo Bank community model, with profits divided between reinvestment, shareholders and community projects. Shareholders raised $800,000 to open the bank. Branch chair Heather McCarthy said Barwon Heads was the 292nd town to open a Community Bank. “I urge the people of Bawon Heads who support our community to bank with their new Community Bank branch and help to grow the business,” she said.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN DEAKIN University’s stress-related insurance claims for the past 12 months were “significantly” less than $500,000, according to a spokesperson. The Independent reported last week an internal Deakin report put the university’s mental stress insurance exposure at more than $1.5 million. Deakin also had a disproportionate number of stress claims, the report said. “Deakin’s Workcover insurance premium for 2012/2013 is estimated at around $1.5 million,” the spokesman said this week but this premium provides cover for a broader range than simply stress-related claims. The costs associated with mental stress-related insurance claims over the last 12 months were significantly less than $500,000. “Clearly we take stress-related injury very seriously with a pro-active program of initiatives to reduce the incidence. There has been only one Workcover claim for a stress-related injury over the last eight months.” The spokesman said an increase in Deakin’s average-lost-time rate from 58.5 in 2010 to 148.5 in 2011 was not a measure of days lost. “As Deakin’s physical injuries have declined faster than the psychological injuries, the average lost time has increased.”

Bowl up to us, says ‘old’ club BY MICHELLE HERBISON WALLINGTON’S indoor bowls club is at risk of folding due to a dwindling, ageing membership, according to its secretary. Arthur Wadey said the club was down to 16 members since its heydays when it attracted more than 30. “Through the age it’s just deteriorated. Every year we keep our fingers crossed – are we going to have to close the place down or not?” Mr Wadey said. “Some nights we get away with having 14 players using extra balls but if we get less than 12

people we have to just muck around socially because we can’t play a competition.” Mr Wadey blamed decreasing numbers on “computers and Xboxes” as well as many retired people holidaying north during winter. “As our members get older there are no replacements.” Indoor bowls was a fun, social alternative to its more-competitive cousin, lawn bowls, Mr Wadey said. “The balls are exactly the same and the rules are the same, except you play on a six-foot-wide mat which imitates the lawn. It’s a

beautiful hall. “We have supper afterwards and a chit-chat. There are no obligations if you don’t want to come one week.” Mr Wadey said the club had about five male members and the rest were women. “We’ve got enough experienced players to coach and teach you. We were all beginners once and played like donkeys. “Anybody’s welcome. We’ll take teenagers and 80 year-olds.” Mr Wadey said anyone interested in joining the club should phone him on 5255 5624.

State ‘could earn $45m’

UFC hero: make cage fights legal BY NOEL MURPHY LEGALISED cage fighting could earn Victoria $45 million from a major tournament, according to a Geelong professional. Mixed martial arts (MMA) exponent George Sotiropoulos said the safety of fighters was at risk while their sport was staged in boxing rings. “There are lots of guys who have fallen through the ropes onto the ground, onto concrete,’’ he told the Independent. “Guys have been knocked out. This is real and it’s dangerous.’’ Sotiropoulos was in Geelong last week to visit relatives after coaching an Australian team for the filming of The Ultimate Fighter Australia-UK tournament The Smashes in Sydney. Mixed martial arts should be staged in cages for both fighter safety and for the sport’s integrity, he said. “It’s the right climate and a safety mechanism at the same time. “In a ring, you can get tangled in the ropes, you can fall through. “MMA is not purely a striking sport. It’s wrestling and striking and we use the cage. “You get pinned against the side as opposed to pinned to the ropes where you can fall. “It’s like an enclosed trampoline.’’ Sotiropoulos said concerns that cage fighting was dangerous lay with outdated perceptions of the sport. “When the sport first started there were no rules but regulations have increased over the years as the sport’s enjoyed increasing popularity,’’ he said. “Rules have changed since then, commissions have gotten involved and fighter safety is paramount. Doctors always check fighters before and after. “Cages present the right environment for the contest but it’s also safer for the fighters.’’ MMA popularity had grown so

said they were using the company and we decided to give it a try”, Mavis said. “We have the meals three days a week – on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening – and they deliver them for us on Tuesday.” “The main reason we did it was that if anything happens to me, Jack would struggle to carry on with preparing food. And the same goes for me if something happened to Jack. It’s a nice break from cooking every night and they have a large choice of meals… everyone has something they don’t like, so it is nice to have a good range to choose from.” “They have a Summer menu, Winter menu, Autumn menu, Spring menu and a Christmas menu as well, so it is very easy”. Apart from main evening meals, Jack and Mavis also take advantage of the dessert options three nights a week. “We have tried a few different services, but we are very happy with Choice Fresh Meals,” Mavis said. “It’s conveniently delivered for us on Tuesdays and I look forward to not having to cook for the three nights… it’s a nice break.

Jack and Mavis haven’t looked back since joining Choice Fresh Meals last years.

Safety first: Geelong’s George Sotiropoulos in action. much that fights now presented economic injections of up to $45 million a tournament, Sotiropoulos said. He believed Victoria was doing itself a disservice not pursuing such opportunities. “UFC 110 in February 2010 and UFC 127 in February 2011 generated $45 million in New South Wales each time,” Sotiropoulos said. “Not legalising cage fighting is costing Victoria, costing local talent and costing local fighters.’’ The 12-episode Smashes series is set to go to air on Fuel TV next month.

BY MICHELLE HERBISON BEER lovers and craft brew devotees will rejoice in plans for Geelong’s own Great Australian Beer Festival. Self-proclaimed local beer ambassadors Keiran Blood and Michael Ward will stage the festival to celebrate the growing popularity of craft beers and cider. Mr Blood said the event would transform Geelong Racecourse into a “beer lovers’ paradise”. “It’s going to look like a rather large beer garden ready for a family-friendly celebration of great beer, gourmet food and quality live entertainment,” Mr Blood said. The festival would showcase 25 of “the most interesting brewers from Victoria and beyond” as well as offering seminars with brewers, celebrity chefs and guest speakers. Mr Ward said live music would also be a key element to the event. “I asked Bob Evans, AKA Kevin Mitchell, front-man for Jebediah, to headline and was stoked when he accepted.” Mr Blood said Little Creatures plan to open an “east coast brewery” in South Geelong’s old Valley Mills proved the region’s craft beer scene was transforming. “The beer market has been dominated by the same large brewing companies for way too long and it was inevitable that consumers would eventually desire a greater variety and quality of beer,” he said. Brewers participating at the Great Australian Beer Festival would

Hopes up at Ford for ‘reduced cuts’ PIONEER ORCHID FARM AUSTRALIA’S MOST SPECTACULAR ORCHID DISPLAY AND SALES

BY NOEL MURPHY FORD workers are set to receive formal redundancy offers in the next fortnight as the car-maker moves to cut up to 220 jobs from the North Geelong plant. But hopes are high the final number of lost jobs might be lower as Ford looks to redeploy workers where it can and weighs the possibilities of an all-new vehicle post-2016.

opment operations appears more-assured, especially as it’s already designing cars for SouthEast Asia, China and India. But while manufacturing proper remains unclear, apart from an update of the Falcon sedan and ute and Territory SUV, industry observers are increasingly talkative about the viability of Melbourne hosting a small-scale operation producing a mediumsized car, probably an SUV. noel.murphy@geelongindependent.com.au

Outstanding: Tony Abbott and Sarah Henderson at Grovedale on Monday. Picture:

CORANGAMITE candidate Sarah Henderson could be a minister in a federal coalition government, according to opposition leader Tony Abbott. He declared Ms Henderson front bench material when he visited Geelong on Monday for a morning tea at Grovedale Community Centre. “It’s great to be here with Sarah Henderson,” Mr Abbott said. “Sarah is an outstanding candidate. I think she is going to be a great local member and I think she will be a front bencher in a future coalition government. “She has got a lot of potential to stand up for this area both as a local member and as a national leader.” Ms Henderson will contest the seat again after losing to Labor incumbent Darren Cheeseman at the 2010 election. Mr Cheeseman holds the seat by the smallest margin of federal electorates. 1040110-JJ32-12

Bay West proposal ‘ignored’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN STATE Government ignored confidential Department of Transport advice to investigate a Bay West container port option, a briefing document reveals. The briefing, obtained by the state opposition under Freedom of Information laws, warned that the Government’s preferred option at Hastings could be too small.

The Independent reported in June that industry supported a Bay West container port between Point Wilson and Werribee. A Western Transport Study identified Bay West as the best option for a container port for transport links. Victorian Freight and Logistics Council and the Property Council of Australia both support consideration of the Bay West option.

The secret briefing said Hastings could only handle seven million standard containers but Victoria would need a 14 million capacity by 2050. “Hastings capacity to accommodate containers is likely to be further diminished if other trades, like brown coal products, emerge to compete for space at the port.” The briefing said Hastings faced “complex environmental

management requirements” and “high cost” transport connections. The briefing said Bay West appeared to offer “significant potential advantages” for longterm container capacity. The advantages included ample land, almost unlimited berth capacity and proximity to Avalon Airport and key road and rail connections. “Given these factors, uncertain-

ties around the mix of future trades at Hastings and constraints at Geelong, Bay West appears to warrant further investigation.” Development of Port of Hastings is expected to cost around $12 billion. The briefing said Port of Geelong was excluded early in the assessment process because of insufficient available land. Sufficient land was available

behind Lascelles Wharf to handle up to 2.5 million containers, the report said. “But anything greater than one million would likely require relocation of existing businesses and may impact on other dry and liquid bulk facilities and operations. “It would also be necessary to undertake major deepening and widening works to the approach channels to the Port of Geelong.”

Speeder’s smashed ute ‘to educate’ young Surf Coast drivers of dangers BY CHERIE DONNELLAN TORQUAY police and emergency services officers have unveiled a smashed car display in a bid to educate drivers about the dangers of speeding. Torquay SES operations controller John Symington said the crash car provided “high-impact imagery”. The display would be particularly useful to teach young drivers about road safety, he said. “It’s important for people about to get their learner’s permit or licence to see the result of an accident involving speeding,” Mr Symington said. Torquay Police Senior Sergeant Angelo Ferrara said the purple utility vehicle used in the display

Branching out SUPER SPRING in a small way SALE!! Join the club JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE WORLD has gradually become a smaller place. Technology has bridged gaps in travel, communications, even the size of our gadgets through miniaturisation. However, to members of Geelong Bonsai Club, smaller has always been beautiful. The 2000-year-old gardening art form has a dedicated band of followers in Geelong, hooked as much for the meditative aspect as for its result. To bonsai enthusiasts, the journey is as important as the destination, Geelong Bonsai Club president Paul Buttigieg said. “One thing it teaches you is patience,” Paul explained. “Many of the people who do it are very busy and see it as a form of meditation. “The bonsai is so slow in developing with such intricate work involved that you do lose yourself in the tree.” Explaining the mystery of bonsai, Paul said the best exponents closely observed what happened to trees in the wild. “You can develop an artistic skill to miniaturise a tree so it resembles what it’s like in a natural setting. “You use wires connected

The club recently hosted leading Australian bonsai expert Lee Wilson who gave a weekend’s

worth of workshops. The club meets monthly at Grovedale United Services Memorial Hall and has its annual spring show on November 10 and 11 at Geelong Masonic Centre in Belmont. Embracing social media is one of the reasons for the club’s success, with every meeting videoed and uploaded to You Tube along with Face Book and Twitter updates. “It helps keep the members informed between meetings but also reaches bonsai enthusiasts all over the world,” said Paul who also runs a gardening program on community radio station The Pulse on Saturday mornings. Prospective members can phone Paul on 0412 604 211 or email gbci46@gmail.com.

Farewell to our cold, wet winter GEELONG’S 2012 winter was colder and much wetter. It surprised no one in the region, except perhaps the Bureau of Meteorology, which had predicted warmer and drier conditions. Again. Yet another month of aboveaverage rainfall was recorded for most of the Geelong-Otways region, except for some areas to the northwest. In fact, August was our fifth successive wetter-than-average month and the sixth of the eight months so far this year. Breakwater’s weather station recorded 78.8mm. Urban Geelong averaged 70mm, compared to the average 49.1mm. Winter overall was 170 per cent wetter than usual, with

Under the weather LINDSAY SMAIL 240mm compared to the average 141mm. Such a result continues to reflect very poorly on the bureau’s ability to predict seasonal rain. Farmers and Barwon Water would do best to ignore the bureau’s model projections, which are obviously failing to do their job. Rain was received on 19 days in August compared to the monthly average of 17. Beech Forest, in the Otways,

received 249mm to earn the honour of being the wettest place in Victoria in August. Seasonally, winter was Geelong’s sixth wettest since records began in 1871. It was also our wettest since 1952, a year of great floods. Our water storage catchments were this week holding 95.5 per cent of capacity – the most since December, 2001. West Barwon Reservoir was 100 per cent full for all of August. As most locals would have felt, Geelong was about .3C cooler in August and .2C colder over winter in general, taking into account the change of weather station location from the former airport site to the warmer Breakwater position.

buckets & bouquets

BUCKETS to a female driver who repaid my courtesy when I stopped so she could safely exit a yard in Belmont by smashing into the front of my car, writing it off. Bouquets to Trent for giving up his time to help my family and I return home after the incident. Upset But Grateful, Belmont BUCKETS to a pair of senior staff at a Belmont store for failing to give a junior staff member a chance to work to the best of her ability on a busy Wednesday afternoon. As a regular customer, I see she goes out of her way to help customers. Disgusted, Whittington BOUQUETS to our neighbour and friend, Pearl, who had us for a sleepover last weekend so our mum and dad could have a night out. We love our helpful neighbours just like we do our own nannies and poppies who live so far away. Misses 2 and 7, Geelong West BOUQUETS to Geelong Hospital’s Bellarine 6 doctors and nurses, rehabilitation and aged care personnel, social workers and the people who serve meals and look after patients. You made a difficult time when dad had a stroke so much easier. Bouquets also to Carer Respite Services and staff at The Belmont. Gary, Newtown

BUCKETS to a guy who rear-ended my car, writing it off and injuring my neck. His excuse was that he wasn’t looking and didn’t have a chance to brake. Then he told me not to worry because he’d done it before. I hope he doesn’t injure his toddler. Peeved Off Driver, Bell Park BOUQUETS to a young apprentice at API Locksmiths. He made my day selling me a remote control and programming it so I had no hassles. He was a pleasure to deal with. I look forward to dealing with him again in the future. Ross, Torquay BUCKETS to Barwon Water. Our account for $220 said we used $44 worth of water, with the remainer being a service charge. The sewerage charge of $135 was obscenely outrageous. Little Drip, Norlane BOUQUETS to the computer fixers at RCD International for way-out servicing and big smiles all round. It made my day. Tom, Bell Post Hill BOUQUETS to Zippy Removals for excellent service during a recent move. They were professional, friendly and extremely helpful. I highly recommend them to anyone thinking of moving house. LM, Highton

Growth plan to minister A PLAN to guide the region’s growth has been submitted to State Government, according to an alliance body of the area’s five councils. G21 chief Elaine Carbines said the plan was with Planning Minister Mathew Guy for approval. Ms Carbines said G21’s five member municipalities had adopted the plan.

Mr Guy’s approval would make the regional growth plan part of each council’s planning schemes. The next phase would be an infrastructure plan and a land supply monitoring system, Ms Carbines said. “We’re happy to grow but we want to make sure the infrastructure is provided to support the growth.”

Mayoralty more than mere money I WRITE in response to Cr Stretch Kontelj’s letter in the August 31 Independent. I understand that in October we will have the opportunity to exercise our voting rights in electing a mayor, not a CEO, for City of Greater Geelong. While the mayor must have the capacity to work with the CEO in oversighting financial effectiveness, if the mayoral role is perceived too narrowly as only financial management then outcomes for Geelong will surely be limited. The mayor, together with councillors, is responsible for integrated social, physical, cultural and economic development of our city while tackling major 21st Century challenges such as sustainability and improved equity and ensuring that democratic and transparent good governance prevails in council. These complex responsibilities mean she or he, as a skilled

Where is the EPA? I say clean up the bay and its surrounds. A meal has certainly been made of the so-called Rippleside development (Independent, August 31). How many more developers will we see buy cheaply, build cheaply or not at all and leave a mess? I will not eat any seafood from the bay. We should be ashamed and asking governments why they don’t care. As for our Eastern Park, hands off. Before we know it, there will be more privatisation until we have no green space left in our city.

LANDOWNERS plagued by rabbits should be prepared to be hit with the Baillieu Government’s rabbit tax. Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has been corrupted to the role of collecting revenue for the Government by fining landowners for failing to control rabbits on their properties. Freshwater Creek landowners have been bullied, threatened, intimidated and live in fear of DPI. Many elderly landowners have been targeted because they will not fight the fines. I was subject to these pressures. I followed 90 per cent of my instructions but was fined. My property backs onto Thompson Creek, from where most rabbits come. The creek is the responsibility of the Government. Agriculture Minister Peter Walsh sent a letter in reply to my complaint, declaring that the Yarra pygmy perch, which lives in Thompson Creek, was threatened by rabbits, so the rabbits had to be destroyed. Pygmy perch? Anyone who has been fined and bullied can write to DPI’s Complaints Management Unit, GPO Box 4440, Melbourne, 3001. They can also put a hold on infringements notices when fighting unjust fines by writing to the penalty review board. The address is on the notice. Another letter explaining the bullying can be sent to shadow agriculture minister John Lenders MP. We need someone to speak in parliament about this scandle. All fines should be cancelled and refunded. The Victorian Government has fined 76 farmers and taken nine to court this year. Harry S Cook Freshwater Creek

Advice: Stretch Kontelj. and insightful civic and political leader, must strive to ensure that all citizens, sectors, councillors and council staff are actively engaged and maintain their common interest in promoting comprehensive community wellbeing in Geelong. Jennifer Wills Portarlington

approaching mayoral election, Cr Stretch Kontelj characterised council as an organisation with large financial resources that belong to us all and which should be managed with that in mind. That’s fine as far as it goes but he neglected to mention that City of Greater Geelong is also, and primarily, a government, which is meant to be run democratically. When it comes to governing greater Geelong democratically, there have been serious shortcomings throughout the term of this council. One of the incumbent councillors, Stretch Kontelj, by focusing on money management as the key attribute for an acceptable mayoral candidate, has given voters advice that serves to keep away from their notice council’s shortcomings. Colin Wallace Geelong West

HAVING just received my rates notice and expecting a five per cent rise, I was more than a little taken aback to find the actual increase was in fact closer to 13.5 per cent – almost three times what Surf Coast Shire had been spruiking. On closer inspection, the value on my property had gone up by $116,000 in two years – good money if you can get it! This amounts to no more than a rort for a council already the highest rating in the state. For over $1800 I get my rubbish picked up once a week, recycling and green waste once a fortnight and a tip voucher. Make no mistake, this is a rort because council knew about these valuation increases when framing the budget. With council elections coming soon, it might be time to use that tip voucher and throw out our rubbish councillors to elect people more concerned about ratepayers’ ability to pay than on wasting money on unwanted footpathes and a grab bag of

Avalon calling I RECEIVED in the mail a petition from Sarah Henderson, the Liberal candidate for Corangamite, calling for Avalon to be made an international airport. I support her call because many people living this side of Melbourne are forced to drive to Tullamarine where they are ripped off on parking fees and in some cases have to make overnight stays to catch early flights. It should be a priority for Federal Government to make Avalon international. This would create jobs for the region and open many opportunities. It is clear this region needs a replacement for manufacturing, which is in decline. Tourism would be boosted if Avalon was an international airport, which would put the region on the world map. The local federal Labor member is very silent on this issue. I wonder whether he supports the call. Ray Page Torquay

Fair on fire levy THE BAILLIEU Government achieved an important milestone last week, in announcing a new model to fund Victoria’s fire service (Independent, August 31). In my previous role as president of Victorian Farmers Federation I made a similar commitment that I would fight tooth and nail to lobby for reforms to the fire services levy (FSL) to provide a fairer, more-transparent property-based model that removed the triple-tax effect. I congratulate the Premier and Treasurer Kim Wells forn having the courage to do what the former Labor government could not, would not and did not do – reform the FSL. No more will those who insure property have to bear the financial burden of funding the fire service alone. No more will those who do not insure not contribute. No more will we see stamp duty and GST charged on the levy and no more will farmers be unfairly discriminated against. Best of all, we will see a reduction in the cost of insurance and significant savings to households and businesses. It has taken a coalition treasurer to do the hard work for a newer, fairer and more-equitable model to be delivered to the people of Victoria in 2013. Simon Ramsay Member for Western Victoria

ith the cost of living on the rise, people look for ways to save money. One of the easiest places to cut money is the food budget. Many families spend $200 to $300 on food each week. A lot of this is for fast food and eating out but it also includes expensive foods bought in supermarkets. The key to saving money while retaining a high quality of food consumption is to get in the kitchen and start cooking. The benefits far outweigh the time it takes you. There are many quick meals that can be healthly and also cheap to prepare. A quick and cheap meal for four can be made from 500g of diced raw chicken or turkey and a pack of pre-cut vegetables stir fried with Asian sauces and tossed with half a packet of cooked pasta. Tacos are a cheap meal and you can use turkey mince if you want. Pita breads make excellent pizza bases and you can add topping as desired. If you use canned beans, such as lentils or kidney beans along with vegetables and rice, you can have a meal ready in 15 minutes that is

hat began as a semiretired pursuit for her late father turned into a 20-year business for Monique Holmes-Richardson. The proprietor of M and R Distributors had a sudden introduction to the world of motor lubricants. “There weren’t many females in the motor industry back then,” Monique reflects. Monique says she found herself in the thick of the traditionally male dominated environment shortly after completing year 12 exams when her father passed away. “There were some tough times in those early years, driving the

delivery truck while heavily pregnant and about to go into labour,” she laughs. Monique says the industry had changed significantly during her 20-year involvement. “There are now more women involved in the motor industry and women in leadership roles. “We’ve seen many businesses fall by the wayside but we’ve always prided ourselves on customer service. “As a locally-owned business, our customers are incredibly important to us so we always put them first. “Most of our clients have been with us for the whole journey and

are part of the M and R Distributors family. “We have wonderful suppliers who are supportive of our business and our loyal enthusiastic staff have a positive attitude.” M and R Distributors is also involved in the community through local sports clubs and Our Women Our Children, a Geelong Hospital fundraiser. “It goes to show that we can do amazing things when we all support each other because strengthening local businesses helps Geelong,” Monique says.

treasured pets.” Vinnie has been providing Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula home and business owners with top-standard tinting services for 15 years. “After going over the job I narrow down which facets are most important to the client, whether it’s to reject heat, reduce glare, improve comfort, health, safety, privacy or fading of interiors,” he says. “I advise people honestly for the best possible solution and ensure very high standards.” Vinnie says testimonials on his website demonstrate how clients are pleased with his effective and affordable products. “Tinting will transform the

beauty of your home,” he says. Vinnie is also a registered building practitioner whose positive approach toward helping the environment and improving the energy rating of clients’ homes helped him win a CSIRO Passive Solar Award. Specialising in flat glass architectural tinting. Vinnie is wellqualified to assist clients in minimising the effects of spring and summer sun. His films are environmentally friendly and offer a negative carbon footprint. Vinnie is available at Torquay Tinting for advice or quotes on 0419 304 610 .

olour and tile sales consultant Emma Jones answers a series of questions about her role with Geelong’s FC Walker and Sons. What type of service do you provide? Interior design for tiles and related products. Most frequently asked question? I am most frequently asked one of two questions: how can I best design my new home or renovation to incorporate tiles and what types of tile products are available or new to the market. Answer? When building or renovating, there are some fantastic tile options. The industry has seen some major developments in the finish of commercial and suburban tiles. Designer tiles can now mimic natural stone, timbers and even glass finishes. We also have a lovely range of ceramic tiles, in both classic and modern finishes, and there is a tile to suit every budget. Strangest request? Sometimes we are asked to order in products that have been featured in a magazine, which can be risky. Latest Trends? Classic designs and earthy are all the rage with accent colours such as turquoise and mustard. Trends are always changing with European design taking and few months to translate into Australian designs. Top tip? Try to think laterally when designing a space. Think of the

mproving insulation can reduce carbon emissions and save on energy use in new homes. Minimum standards are set for insulation of walls and ceilings but upgrading can mean big savings in energy consumption. Double-glazing is an easy way of improving comfort levels while saving money on energy costs. In a well-designed home, heat loss through windows can be reduced 51 per cent simply by using clear double-glazed windows and doors instead of the single-glazed type. Rylock has been designing and manufacturing double-glazed aluminium windows and doors in Geelong since the early 1980s. Rylock’s Murray Riccardi says the company’s current range has a six star energy rating. “Almost all our clients come back to tell us the extra they spent on double-glazing their new home was the best money they ever spent and that it keeps coming back to them every quarter in lower power bills,” Mr Riccardi says. “There are single pane glass products on the market that have some degree of energy efficiency but none come close to the energy efficiency of double-glazing. “The air space between the two glasses of a double-glazed panel is what reduces if not eliminates the conduction of the outside cold of winter or heat of summer. “Double glazing also prevents condensation on the glass and this is one of the biggest disadvantages of any energy efficient single-glazing system because they lose their ther-

SELLING has begun at Curlewis’s first waterfront residential estate, Bisinella Developments has announced. The company’s Baywater Estate will feature exclusive bay frontage lots with clifftop views across Port Phillip Bay and easy access to the beach and boat harbour below. Development Manager Richard Bisinella said Baywater Estate was the first residential-zoned land to come on the market at Curlewis. “The large, bay-frontage lots in the new estate offer a rare opportunity for people to build that spectacular clifftop home they’ve always dreamed of.” Baywater Estate is the fourth residential estate now available in the Jetty Road growth corridor near Drysdale. Baywater Estate overlooks Geelong’s outer harbour and Port Phillip Bay, offering sweeping views across the water to Geelong, the You Yangs and the Melbourne skyline. The 380 lots on the estate will rise gently from about 16

Baywater Estate construction will start about the middle of this year and stage one is scheduled for completion early 2013.

Mr Bisinella said the 14 prime bay-frontage lots would be included in stage one. “Registrations for the first stage of the Baywater Estate are still being accepted,” Mr Bisinella said. “People can register their interest by email to sales@lbdevelopments .com.au or by phoning the office on 5274 1643.”

tate Government has just announced its Transitional Feed-In Tariff (TFIT) will close to new applicants from October 1. Feed-in tariffs pay households for excess electricity sent back to the grid. The TFIT is currently paying 25 to 33c/kWh. Anyone with solar power systems installed and all paperwork complete by September 30 will receive TFIT until the end of 2016. With increased supplier competition bringing down the price of solar components, there has never been a better time to install solar power.

City to Surf Solar is a locally owned and operated business with a variety of high quality products to suit every situation and budget. All systems are installed by City to Surf Solar’s experienced, Clean Energy Council-accredited installation team.

“Our everyday prices... beat our competitors specials!”

He explains the systems are connected to the main power supply, so unused solar-generated power is put back into the grid for customers to take advantage of the feed-in tariff. “On a 3kW system customers can currently expect around a $2800 discount. A 3kW system also saves approxi-mately 14 tonnes in greenhouse gasses annually.” Tom adds that now is a great time for customers to grab great solar bargains. “With the world solar boom coming to an end it means that a lot of manufacturers are reducing

prices to move stock, which means better pricing for customers.” New Generation Solar is a family-owned company emphasising quality. Tom says the company knows the best ways to help Geelong households save money and power. “With so many different options out there at the moment, those things that sound too good to be true probably are.” Prospective customers can phone New Generation Solar on 1300 320 227 for an obligationfree site assessment.

nyone considering switching to solar should take advantage of the existing feed-in tariff scheme, which may close toward the end of the year. New Generation Solar’s Tom Mikac says current customers and anyone who signs up before the end of the year will be locked in until 2016. Federal Government rebates are still constant until June next year, he adds. Tom encourages anyone wanting to reap the benefits of the feed-in tariff scheme to switch to solar as soon as possible.

Cast off to Europe BY CHERIE DONNELLAN CAST Iron Pinata’s European tour luggage allowance had been reduced to “hair gel only”, joked bassist Jim Grace. All four members of the Geelong rock band spoke to the Independent this month in the lead-up to the seven-week tour. “We were promised a big baggage allowance and it’s fallen through,” drummer Khale Lewis explained. “Given that we have instruments to take over, that means we’ll have to neglect other things,” lead singer Pepe Raye interjected. “Yeah, can’t shave off half the guitar,” guitarist Nathan Henschke joked. The band will be packed in tight in its tour bus alongside American “sex rock” band Lord Bishop Rocks. “Sex rock is their term, not ours,” Lewis clarified, “but we’re excited to join them.” The quartet was excited about its first overseas tour, comprising 36 shows across eight countries. Henschke and Grace, leaving Australia for the first time, said they were ready to impress the overseas crowds. Lewis believed the band was “well-prepared” to meet touring demands after completing

Four score: Geelong’s Cast Iron Pinata. two national tours. “We’ve travelled to a lot of places and we’ve learnt a lot about professionalism and the differences in playing to a different crowd every night,” he said. Henschke and Grace agreed. “We’ve learnt to always put on a good show,” Henschke said. “Showmanship is important,” Grace added. “It’s about entertaining, not just (playing) the music.”

Raye observed that the band was “a bundle of energy” on stage. “There are parts of certain songs where we like to get into sync,” he noted. “We feel the music.” “To state an old cliché,” Grace jokingly interjected, “but our (practice) jams are definitely animated.” Cast Iron Pinata drew a large crowd to its farewell show last

month, which manager Steve Nichols labelled a “big success”. The band planned to release its debut album in Australia after returning from tour. “People have asked us ‘Can’t we get a copy of the album before you leave?’ but we’ve left our fans with our new single to enjoy until we get back,” Raye smiled.

ing. “It’s like, all of a sudden we became a band “I can’t remember when we started officially. I think we might’ve mentioned it once as a joke.” Margin said The Rubens were ready to “rock out and have fun” at Bended Elbow next week as part of a national tour. The band had benefited from a “steep learning curve” on previous tours supporting Lanie Lane and playing festivals like Splendour in the Grass, he said. “Our tour is going to be a good one all ’round. We’ve got great supports. “It’ll be our biggest tour and we’re so lucky to have the opportunity.”

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN THE RUBENS defied the music industry tradition of bands paying their dues when Grammy-award-winning producer David Kahne pledged to work with the budding quarter. Lead singer Sam Margin told the Independent he and his brothers, Elliott and Zaac, and friend Scott were “stoked” to record their debut album alongside Kahne in New York. “To have such a big producer and live there for three months to record is about as exciting as it gets for a new band,” Margin said. Melbourne band, formed in 2011, and caught Kahne’s interest with home-recorded single My Gun. Margin found the success bewilder-

rovedale’s Sandstone Cafe has just celebrated its second year of delighting diners with quality food and service. Head chef Simon Parrott describes Sandstone as a “restaurant disguised as a cafe”, nestled in suburbia. Simon believes the cafe encourages diners to embrace the region’s emerging quality dining and cafe culture. “Geelong previously lacked quality food and service outside the CBD but people are now recognising the importance of solid suburban venues,” he says. Simon celebrates the cafe’s contemporary Australia menu with a seafood specialty. “For quality-cooked fish, visit us.” Sandstone Cafe is family-friendly and will cater to everyone’s dietary requirement. Simon recommends booking early for the festive season. “Christmas is fast approaching and we’re happy to host any function.” Sandstone Café also hosts birthday, wedding and corporate functions as well as offering off-site catering. The venue can host 130 guests for stand-up functions or 85 at seated events. The cafe’s courtyard is perfect for breakfast and lunch this spring, open seven days. Diners sitting inside can enjoy the Sun through the cafe’s big windows. “It’s a very bright, warm venue,” Simon says. The fully licensed venue is also open for dinner from 6pm Fridays and Saturdays, with a wide variety of local wines, beers and ciders available. Sandstone Cafe is at 284 Torquay Rd, phone 5244 2343 or visit www.sandstonecafe.com.au.

five without too much of a squeeze. Indeed, though the i45 is probably going to be seen as a medium sized car in Australia, the American’s class it as a large car. Two engines are offered, both fourcylinder petrol units. The smaller of the two has a 2.0litre capacity with maximum power output of 121kW at 6200 rpm and a peak torque of 198Nm @ 4600 rpm. The larger engine is a modern direct-injection unit displacing 2.4 litres. Its peak outputs are 148 kW of power and 250 Nm of torque, the latter being more than the hard-to-attain 100 Nm per litre for which all engine designers strive. The suspension copes well with Australian road conditions, including some surfaces that weren’t as good as they should have been. The steering and suspension characteristics are better than average for an Asian car, although not quite in the same class as the best of the Europeans. Elite adds full leather upholstery, push button start/stop, automatic climate control, rear parking sensors, paddle-shift gear changer and rainsensing windscreen wipers. The flagship Premium gets panoramic sunroof, premium audio, powered front seats with driver’s seat memory system.

48 YEARS CONTINUOUS TRADING IN GEELONG : RACV

BY ERIC BLAIR he Hyundai i45 is a mid-sized family sedan. It is slightly more upmarket than the Sonata and not only has leading-edge styling but greater overall refinement. The Korean giant sees styling as a major factor in drawing attention to itself, so has established styling studios on several continents. The studios competed with one another to design the Hyundai i45, but the way-out Californian design, penned by a young American by the name of Andre Hudson, was the winner. Hudson’s brave design is full of curves and lines that are at the far edge of current automotive thinking. In particular, take a look at the front of the car and what he describes as being the face of a bird of prey. The headlights are the aggressive eyes and everything around them builds on the look and feel they provide. In profile the Hyundai i45 carries the sort of low-slung swooping cabin introduced by Mercedes in its CLSClass four-door coupe. But the Korean design isn’t as extreme as the German one because its car is a sedan and has to have good headroom in the back seat. Legroom is lavish and it’s possible for four adults to travel in comfort, and

sport Spring arrives with a bonanza for anglers On the bite BRIAN LONG The outer-harbour was better, with Wilson Spit, the ninefoot bank and the quarries all returning their share of fish. The channel off Clifton Springs should fire in coming weeks. Xavier Worth drifted the Hermsley spoil grounds for snapper where he encountered strange bites that failed to produce hook-ups until finally jagged one of the culprits – a squid. He changed to a jig and finished with his bag limit of squid in just one hour and four snapper to 2.2kg by day’s end. Anglers should also look to the grass beds between Point Henry and Clifton Springs for the big pike that inhabit this area between now and Christmas. Trolling with bibbed minnow-style lures is all that’s needed. Flathead continued to be caught off St Leonards in 15mplus of water. Drifting with soft plastics is deadly but anglers also did well using Jig Em rigs tipped with a piece of fresh squid. Whiting remained a viable option closer to Edwards Point. The evening tides were best. Queenscliff’s cut hosted rising trevally numbers. Bait anglers should use pilchard fillets an hour either side of high or low tide, while soft plastics anglers using Turtleback worms or curl-tail grubs have enjouyed the best results. The fish were holding close to the rock wall along Swan Island, so longer casts were the way to go. Freshwater angling has been excellent. Deep Lake has consistently produced the bigger

Henry O’Toole handed a rainbow this size on a soft plastic, while Portland’s Peter Edkins took a similar size fish also on plastics. Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree fired with plenty of nice size trout. All methods were working but the best reports were on lures such as Rapala 5cm minnows in either of the rainbow or trout patterns. Hepburn Lagoon produced trout around 1.5kg on lure. Terry Lawler landed three in a busy one-hour session, with all his fish caught on a Rapala X Rap 4 in the gold colour. Terry’s mate, Paul Geoffrey, fished Newlyn Reservoir for two browns trout better than 2kg each. Both were caught on the small Rapala lures.

With the official trout opening last weekend, Damian Kerr tried his hand with a fly rod at Buckley Falls. Using a grey ghost fly, he caught two trout around 900g mark – not a bad effort for his first go on fly. Conditions look good this weekend for salmon from the surf on the rocks between Lorne and Apollo Bay on high tide. Freshwater anglers should head to Lake Wendouree with shallow-running bibbed lures and fish into the wind if possible to be among where all the food is blown. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Ave, Manifold Heights.

Stable hand prize

FANTASTIC conditions at the start of spring produced some of the best captures for months in both salt and freshwater. Last weekend surf anglers were rewarded with some of the biggest salmon to hit the coast for some time. Fish over 3.5kg were taken between Lorne and Apollo Bay, with lures accounting for the majority of fish. Two hours either side of high tide was the best time. I fished near Sheoaks River to be one of the lucky anglers to find the big salmon on lure. The numbers were limited but my largest, 3.65kg, was a personal best and one of four fish over 3kg. Robert Shaw fished near Wye River on Monday where his small metal lures caught 12 fish including a salmon of 3.1kg and a couta of 3.7kg. Steve Dmytrenko spun the beach at Breamlea for half a dozen salmon. They weren’t all big but certainly entertaining in near-perfect conditions. Corio Bay produced reasonable numbers of pinky snapper for soft plastics anglers. Most fish were around the 45cm. Fishermen’s Pier was productive, with Turtleback worms and three-inch grubs doing all the damage. Fishing either side of high tide or late evenings usually produces the odd snapper here. Boat and kayak anglers should drift the moorings between Royal Geelong Yacht Club and Eastern Beach with soft plastics. Both snapper and flathead have been readily available in this area, although a few big pike have accounted for some lost lures. Snapper anglers found Corio Bay slow. Plenty appeared on sounders but few were willing to bite. Anyone wanting to fish the inner-harbour should try close to the end of the former Yarra Street Pier or Stingaree Bay spoil grounds just off Limeburner’s boat ramp.

A GEELONG stable hand has won an annual Victorian thoroughbred industry award. Lisa Pucci has been crowned 2012 Tabcorp Victorian Thoroughbred Employee of the Year for her work with Craig Conron Racing during the 2011/2012 season. Pucci collected $1000 as a finalist and a further $5000 for the award. Racing Minister Denis Napthine recently presented her with the award in the winner’s circle between races at Moonee Valley Racecourse. Pucci’s employer, Craig Conron, described her as an “outstanding employee”.

Swans set for grand final spot GEELONG Football League moves its finals series to Simonds Stadium this weekend, with two games scheduled. On Saturday South Barwon and St Joseph’s meet in the second semifinal, with the winner advancing straight to the grand final. South Barwon will be fresh after having last weekend off courtesy of finishing on top of the ladder. Joeys will be weary after its thrilling win over Newtown in last Saturday’s qualifying final but will be full of confidence as one of only two sides to beat the Swans this year. South Barwon loves playing finals and the big Kardinia Park Oval, so it should come out on top. On Sunday Newtown and Bell Park meet it the first semi-final. It’s curtains for the loser, so expect a no-holds-barred contest. Bell Park belted Leopold in last Saturday’s elimination final, with Steve Brown, Mitch Cuthill and Zane Vail showing the reigning premier is far from a spent force. Newtown expects Ryan Gamble, Jacob Spolding and Simon Rau to return from injury and might have Matthew Sully back from Geelong’s VFL side. The Eagles have had the better of the Dragons all year and should beat them again.

BFL Bellarine Football league finals move to Queen’s Park on Saturday, with Torquay and Modewarre battling it out for a grand final berth. Queenscliff has already secured a grand final spot after beating Torquay by 11 points last Saturday. The Tigers were not disgraced and will know that with a bit of tweaking they have a game plan and skills to win a grand final. First they have to win this one and that won’t be that easy because Modewarre is on fire. After finishing fifth on the ladder, the Warriors have won both their finals, including a belting of fancied Ocean Grove last saturday. Peter Davenport’s aggressive style

Local Footy FRANK MASON is welcomed by his teammates and opens up the play for the likes of Josh Finch, Adam Leslie and Tyler Wemyss. The Tigers have plenty of talent, with Michael Fowkes, Troy Bird and Josh Carracher and astute coaches in Craig McCaughlan and Michael MacFarlene who have won plenty of finals. It would be great to see Modewarre make a grand final and if it can jump the Tigers early and put a few doubts in their minds then that will be the case in a game promising lots of fireworks.

GDFL Geelong and District Football League also plays its preliminary final, with Thomson and East Geelong clashing at St Alban’s Reserve on Saturday. These two have a rich rivalry and, with a grand final game against Bell Post Hill the reward for the winner, it will be on for young and old. Thomson will go in as favourite because the last time these two met it won easily but the victory came at the price of a couple of long-term injuries. This has weakened the side but it still boasts plenty of class and was always in the hunt last week against raging premiership favourite Bell Post Hill. East Geelong could have easily missed the finals this year and only scraped in by percentage but has made every post a winner since then and has easily won both the elimination and first semi-finals. Josh Bouwman is in outstanding form and kicking plenty of goals. Lucas Murphy, Ben Bolten and Jesse Mawson have also saved their best for the finals. Thomson will be wary of the Lions but should have enough talent and desire to win a close one.
