BY MICHELLE HERBISON A SURVEY of campers at two Bellarine Peninsula caravan parks will help prepare the facilities for climate change, according to a Victorian coastal management body. Western Coastal Board’s Sue Mudford said the survey would ask 100 campers why they visited Barwon Heads caravan and Portarlington holiday parks to determine the facilities’ “economic and social value”. The survey would also collect data from camping grounds at Apollo Bay, Warrnambool and Port Fairy until the end of January, she said. “It will be very helpful for park managers to find out who their clients are. Do they come to go surfing, to catch up with friends or because it’s an affordable holiday?” Ms Mudford said the survey would also interview 100 residents living around each of the parks. “When the information is collated we should have information from a broad range of values.” Ms Mudford said climate change threatened camping grounds with higher tides and coastal erosion. She urged holidaymakers to share their opinions. “It’s really important people tell us what’s important to the area.” Barwon Coast Committee of Management’s Bob Jordan said damage to 13th Beach last winter when sand was washed away demonstrated the potential threat of climate change to the viability of camping grounds. “If that impact was replicated on the main beaches near the caravan parks, would we see people not coming?”

BY MICHELLE HERBISON BIG SUPERMARKET chains can expect a “kick in the bum” on the Bellarine Peninsula after the opening of its first ALDI store, according to shoppers. ALDI Drysdale opened on Wednesday amid residents’ expectations of the cut-price chain forcing down grocery prices on the peninsula. The store is the first ALDI on the peninsula and fifth in the Geelong region, joining outlets at Belmont, Newcomb, Grovedale and Corio. Clifton Springs’ Brian Knights said he hoped ALDI’s presence in Drysdale would “give the opposition a kick in the bum”. Many residents thought Drysdale’s Safeway was overpriced, he said. “I think they’ve had it their own way for far too long. Some competition will make them lift their game.” Portarlington’s Ray Meaney thought most Portarlington residents would now travel to Drysdale for cheaper groceries. “You’ve got no idea how many people are excited about it. Our supermarket in Portarlington is fairly steep in price and ALDI’s prices are so much cheaper. “I’d like to shop locally and keep these people afloat but there comes a limit to what you can do.” St Leonards’ Nanette Pearson said she would now buy “98 per cent” of her groceries at ALDI Drysdale. “We’ve been counting the days since we first heard ALDI was going to open in Drysdale.

MP ‘win’ over pokie strategy BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN CLUBS Australia’s campaign against pokie reforms in Geelong has backfired badly, according to Corangamite MP Darren Cheeseman. Mr Cheeseman said he continued to be a “strong supporter” of poker machine reforms despite reports of a Gillard Government backdown on proposed mandatory pre-commitment laws. “The feedback in Corangamite and greater Geelong region is that the clubs’ campaign has been entirely counterproductive,” he said. “Every dollar the clubs spent on campaigning in our region has seen support for poker machine reforms grow. “We have a different culture to New South Wales and electors

strongly back reform. The more they campaign, the stronger the support for reform grows.” Mr Cheeseman challenged Clubs Australia to continue the campaign. “Bring it on,” he declared. “The people of Corangamite can recognise naked self-interest. This campaign has backfired. “I’m a strong supporter of pokie reforms because of the fact that 40 per cent of gambling revenue comes from problem gamblers. “The Government position is that we want to undertake reforms that will be effective. We want to make sure there are thorough trials undertaken of mandatory pre commitment, likely to happen across the ACT. “I’d like to see both mandatory pre-commitment and maximum

$1 bets implemented.” A Clubs Victoria rally at Buckley’s Entertainment Centre late last year targeted Mr Cheeseman’s marginal electorate. Geelong and District Football League president Neville Whitley said the Government’s apparent pokies backdown suggested the marginal seat tactic “seems to have worked”. A Clubs Australia spokesman said the marginal seats campaign would continue. “Some of the reports will be on the mark and some wide of the mark but the campaign will continue while it is government policy,” he said. “The campaign has left some government MPs in an awkward situation and that’s bad news for them.”

Illegal burns put heat on safety, warns CFA BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG firefighters fear illegal burn-offs could spark major blazes across the region as January continues to heat up, according to CFA regional operations manager Gerry Verdoorn. Mr Verdoorn said the CFA had been called to more than a dozen illegal burn-offs since Boxing Day. “A majority of our personnel in the CFA are volunteers, so they’re leaving their families and work to deal with fires they shouldn’t have to deal with. They’re being called out unnecessarily,” he said. “Most people committing this are absent land owners who return over the summer period to their holiday homes and want to clean up.” Boxing Day marked the start of an annual fire season law requiring council permits for burn-offs. A Gnarwarre CFA crew narrowly escaped death earlier this month when its tanker became stuck while responding to a grassfire at Stonehaven. Mr Verdoorn said the CFA believed embers from an earlier burn-off ignited the blaze. “When people burn rubbish they end up with a pile of ash where hot embers remain for weeks if not months,” he said. “A crust forms over the ash and actually insulates the heat,

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN FEDERAL Member for Corio Richard Marles is among 82 parliamentarians who failed to verify expense claims, according to a Department of Finance “name-and-shame” list. The list included opposition leader Tony Abbott, Attorney-General Nicola Roxon, Immigration Minister Chris Bowen and wealthy opposition backbencher Malcolm Turnbull. The department expects MPs to verify expense claims against their own accounts every six months. The department released the list for the first time this week. Verifying accounts is non-compulsory but a Senate Estimates hearing recommended “naming and shaming’’ in the interests of transparency. “Parliamentarians are asked to certify that their entitlements usage was in accordance with the provisions legislated for each respective entitlement. “Commencing from the period January to June 2011, information regarding parliamentarians’ certification of their entitlements usage will be published,” the department website said.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A NATIONAL chain is planning a major hardware and homewares store at Armstrong Creek’s Keystone Business Park, according to its director. Trent Keirnan said the store would cover 40,000 square metres. He called the prospective anchor tenant a “national hardware/homewares operator”. “We’re well advanced in detailed discussions with major tenants,” Mr Keirnan said. The homemaker precinct, on Armstrong Creek’s arterial Barwon Heads Rd, would be Keystone’s first stage for release. Mr Keirnan said other tenants would include furniture, electrical, plumbing goods, hardware, computing and bedding retailers. The centre would complement a range of Bunnings and Mitre 10 stores in the region. A Woolworths spokesperson confirmed the company was seeking a Geelong site for its new Masters hardware and homewares chain. “Market testing has identified the need for a full-line homemaker centre,” Mr Keirnan said. “We think Keystone will end up with the most substantial

homemaker centre in the region, servicing southern Geelong, the Bellarine and Surf Coast. “Our location right on existing and future arterial roads means customers will have easy access. “The fact we’re only a 10 minute walk from Marshall Station opens up public transport options that other locations simply don’t have. “About one-quarter of Geelong’s residents now travel outside the municipality for employment. Keystone is designed to prevent 10 per cent of that leakage growth.” Mr Keirnan said a trade supplies area “with excellent Keystone Ave frontage” was also planned. Keystone’s office park would offer flexible, high-quality office space with a “diverse range of mixed business and industry land”, he said. Other elements would include a village shopping heart, open space parklands, pedestrian and cycle trails, an entertainment hub and other retail services. Mr Keirnan said sales of the first stage of 40 lots over 34 hectares began last week. The first stage could provide jobs for up to 2000, he said.

1000 competitors here for 2012 Deaf Games BY ERIN PEARSON MORE than 1000 hearingimpaired athletes competed in a 2012 Deaf Games in Geelong this week, according to organisers. Deaf Sports Australia’s Craig Dodson said competitors from Australia, New Zealand, Samoa and Fiji competed in 18 events. This year’s games were the first to include surfing, with traditional events including cricket, soccer, swimming, athletics, beach volleyball and tennis. “Beach volleyball was certainly a standout sport this

year, with more than 50 competitors taking part,” Mr Dodson said. “We had huge interest from the community as well, with a massive amount of people walking by stopping to watch.” Mr Dodson said the event was “extra special” for competitors, many of whom met their husbands and wives at past games. “It’s a very rare occurrence that you get 1000 members of the deaf community together in one place.” The games finish on Saturday.

Barking mad over dog house Tenant defends right to eight dogs BY ERIN PEARSON A HOUSEHOLD with eight noisy dogs is driving Whittington residents to breaking point, according to a neighbour. Terry Anderson said his family had been seeking council action on the tenants’ “barking and vicious” dogs for two years. Council bylaws allow a maximum two dogs or cats per dwelling in residential areas. Mr Anderson said the dogs had driven his family to tears. “The neighbours moved in with two dogs and then acquired a third dog before they began breeding and now we’re left living next door to eight,” he said. “This has been going on for years and council hasn’t done anything about it. “I’m a dog lover and to see their Jack Russells fighting to the point

where they bleed is so distressing.” Mr Anderson said he made his latest complaint to council in December almost two years after his initial objection. A statement from City of Greater Geelong said it was “aware of issues” at the Solar Dve property. The statement failed to respond to Mr Anderson’s allegation of inaction. City acting community laws and compliance coordinator Greg Mead said council officers would visit the property to determine whether the dog owners had breached bylaws. Mr Mead said the visit would include a welfare check on animals at the property. Owners can apply for a permit under council’s Local Law and Domestic Animals Act to house more than two cats or dogs.

Pets aplenty: Narelle Roughley with two of her eight dogs. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 75754

Mr Mead said council considered permit applications on a “case-by-case” basis. The dogs’ owner, Narelle Roughley, defended keeping so many pets in her public housing home. Ms Roughley accused her neighbours of unfair treatment over the past two years. “We all have compassion for nature and life but ever since I moved into this house I’ve had trouble with the neighbours. “My son and I have always loved animals. Most of the ones we have were homeless and we’ve taken them in. “I want them all to have a good home.” Ms Roughley said she planned to obtain a permit to keep five dogs and eventually find new homes for the other three.

Sport festival to test all abilities BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG Multi Sport Festival caters for everyone from elite athletes like Renee Lane to budding triathlon stars Ben Breguet, 8, and brother Tom, 6. The youngsters will compete in the Geelong Independent Superkidz triathlon, an all-abilities event in the festival on Geelong’s waterfront from February 10 to 12. Renee, who has entered the festival’s long-course triathlon, said she would encourage students using Belmont’s Bio Lab to sign up as well. Bio Lab, where Renee works as an education officer, is a Victorian BioScience Education Centre shared between Belmont High and Roslyn Primary schools. Renee took Ben and Tom on a tour of the $4.4 million facility ahead of the multi sport festival. She said some of the lab’s

equipment was so new it was still unavailable at Geelong Football Club, so players visited the centre for testing. “We use equipment like GPS tracking, wireless timing, heart rate monitors and radar sports guns, giving the students realtime feedback,” Renee said. “They do their sports activities and measure their capacities and use sports science to explain what is happening and why.” Ben and Tom’s parents, Sam

and Paul, will also take part in Geelong Multi Sport Festival, making the event a family affair. Sam said she and Paul had competed in triathlons for years. “The boys think it’s normal to go along and watch us compete. It’ll be a bit different when it’s us watching them participate,” she laughed. Ben and Tom said they hoped to convince a few of their Newtown Primary School classmates to join in as well. Ben said he was also a veteran of Run Geelong, a “really fun” event. “I like the bike bit because you can go really fast,” he declared Sam said the multi sport festival had something for everyone, no matter their level or ability. More information about the festival, including the Geelong Independent Superkidz Triathlon, is available at geelongmultisport.com.au.

Campaign â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;targeting bushfire arsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CRIME Stoppers has used Geelong to launch a new campaign urging reports of potential bushfire arson activity. The campaign follows police revealing late last year that officers would keep watch over 100 known arsonists in the region this summer. Crime Stoppers said anyone who suspected bushfire arson activity or threats should phone the organisationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1800 333 000 hotline or lodge a report at crimestoppers.com.au. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact remains that up to 50 per cent of all bushfires are believed to be either deliberately or recklessly lit, often by people who live locally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crime Stoppers wishes to encourage regional Victorians

Off the rails: Laurie Mackinnon with his train set. Picture: Tommy Ritchie enthusiasts to descend on Geelong West Town Hall for the two-day exhibition. “They come from all over the state, even interstate, because this is one of the great exhibitions “We’ll feature some of the newer style trains from around the world, including from the US, Europe and Japan.” Laurie says the show will feature up to 15 layouts along with lots of stalls, buyers, sellers and collectors. He puts the popularity of model railways down to Geelong’s history as a “railway town”. “Geelong traditionally has had a close relationship with the railways, as demonstrated by the

74964

extensive North Geelong rail yards and various interconnections here. “Lara is destined to become the next major rail network centre because of its proximity to the port, the airport and the highway was well as both railway gauges.” Corio Model Railway Club is establishing some traditions of its own, with this year’s exhibition to be the club’s 39th. Laurie says the Bakers Ovalbased club is undertaking major upgrades to its main layout, a replica of the Geelong rail network. The exhibition is open 10am to 5pm. More information is available from Laurie on 5241 4477.

THE FASCINATION with trains is difficult to explain – Laurie Mackinnon has it and even he is at a loss. But the Corio Model Railway president has had the fascination since childhood – and loves it when kids these days share it with him. Laurie describes himself as a kid who never grew up when it comes to the joy of watching trains. “It’s great when children’s faces light up as the trains move around the layout,” Laurie admits. That’s why one of the highlights of the club’s model railway exhibition next weekend will be a “you-drive layout”. “The kids can have a go at driving the trains on the layout and see how the networks interact with each other,” Laurie says. “Some of the sets these days have such fine detail and include sound and other effects.” Technology has even changed the way model rail buffs indulge their hobby, Laurie says. “Now we have computer controlled layouts that enable us to run multiple trains on a line and even run to timetables.” Laurie expects more than 2000

BUCKETS to a home furnishings retailer for its unhelpful manner toward our family when we sought products for our new house. The business was rude and condescending when it realised its error. We definitely won’t go back. Still Waiting, Highton BUCKETS to a liar and thief who stole money from many people in Geelong and now enjoys life without any thought for what he did or the lives ruined. Was the purchase of a car made with money from others? Broke, Highton BUCKETS to a phone provider who failed to have in store a phone we liked at one of its stores. We were told another of the provider’s Geelong stores had the phone but when we arrived it cost $30 more and the store refused to give us the lower price. Mucked About, Geelong West BOUQUETS to a person who put my mobile phone on my car window after I dropped it from my handbag in Mitre 10 Wallington’s car park. Your kindness and honesty was greatly appreciated. Grateful, Clifton Springs BUCKETS to a jerk who stole a young girl’s pink thongs from an access point to White’s Beach, Torquay, over the newyear period. For God’s sake, stay home or holiday elsewhere. Bloody Tourists, Torquay BOUQUETS to an honest man from True Blue Seals for fixing a problem by lowering a freezer temperature rather than installing new seals. Grateful, Corio BOUQUETS to police officer Duncan. I couldn’t find my car in Geelong after finishing shopping. Duncan drove me around several streets. Finally we located my car far from where I thought I had parked. I hope I’m not losing my mind. I have great respect for our police. Dr D, Newtown

BOUQUETS to council for completing Lara Library at last. But why do the signs in big letters on each side of the building just say library. It’s Lara Library. Did council run out of letters or civic pride? Reader, Lara

BOUQUETS to the staff at Specsavers Geelong for their friendly, professional service. Special thanks to Robin for her help and patience when I was trying to get my glasses to fit properly. Fussy Customer, Lara BOUQUETS to a lady who handed in a child’s camping chair that I left in a trolley at Anaconda last Saturday. It’s good to know that honest people are still around. Grateful, Belmont BOUQUETS to Ocean Grove Toy Store’s Mick. As one of many who paid another business $1000 only to be left with no cubbyhouse for Christmas, he offered to pass on our details to a neighbour who had an unwanted cubby. Incredibly Grateful, Ocean Grove BUCKETS to two men who just watched when I dropped my walking stick while waiting for Japanese food at Westfield Geelong. An extra black mark to one of them for continuing to watch while I juggled my food. Bouquets to a young gentleman who picked up my walking stick. DisabledGrandma,Torquay

letters Busport big deal

News from Shell

GEELONG does not need a big anything (Independent, January 13). We are fortunate to have everything except a council with competent planners, engineers and common sense. For example, why isn’t the busport next to the railway station, thus creating a transport hub? Please, spend money fixing these problems. I moved to Geelong in 1971 for a two-year assignment and immediately decided to stay. After 42 years I have not changed my mind. Don’t destroy that which makes all who visit envy what we take for granted. Robert ‘Bob’ Treseder Belmont

LIMEBURNERS LINK TRAINEES GRADUATE Eight indigenous and non-indigenous trainees from Geelong’s northern suburbs recently graduated from the Limeburners Link programme with a Certiﬁcate in Conservation and Land Management.

IN LIGHT of the hugely expensive ideas being bandied about to create a monumental icon for Geelong (Independent, January 13), I feel we can’t see the forest for the trees. In front of our very noses is the most iconic pier in Australasia, with so much potential for redevelopment it’s not funny. There’s nothing like it anywhere else and Geelong’s privileged to have it all to itself. Coupled with a massive drive for tourism by promoting our beautiful unique coast, we in Geelong would never have to look backwards in our drive to be Australia’s premier regional city. Steve Joseph Norlane

Pokies scourge I DON’T always agree with local MP Darren Cheeseman but I want to support his stance to better control the scourge of pokies (Independent, December 9). Any business that makes profits based on people’s addictions needs to be challenged and curtailed, including powerful pokies interests. Greg Creek Highton

Meter denial PEOPLE should be under no illusion regarding their rights with smart meters (Independent, January 13). No one can be compelled to have a smart meter because of the constitution of this fair country. Civil conscription is expressly forbidden by our constitution, meaning no one can be compelled to go to war, have a smart meter or any other such device that the government of the day might wish to foist on us. This prohibition can also be used if one does not wish to vote. We are thus free to refuse smart meters if we wish because our constitution says we don’t have to. I hope some of our elected members will be good enough to confirm or deny this fact, with a full explanation of any denial. Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

Man from Mars I HAVE been inspired to voice my opinion by three women: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkul Karman, winners of the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize. As a concerned grandmother, I suggest that Alan Barron, who took pride of place in the Independent’s letters page on January 6, contact Jeremy Ward, a technical officer stationed at Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station in northwest Tasmania. The station reports to the world meteorological organisation and has done so since 1976, observing an increase in carbon dioxide of over 15 per cent during that period along with an increase in mercury vapor, linked to health impacts. From his many repetitive letters, one can only assume Mr Barron goes down the path of conservation and, rather than approach a problem on the side of caution and with good management, waits until the horse has bolted. If he is genuinely concerned about employment for future generations he would surely know that coal, gas and oil

are finite. Surely the sun, wind and waves have a better chance for renewable energy and a cleaner world as well, which industry is realising. As for Mr Barron’s Martians coming down to Earth, he is obviously unaware his quoted NASA has, as far as I know, not reported that people are living on Mars and that nor has NASA sighted any flying saucers based on Mars ready to fly them here. Or does he have evidence to the contrary? Claire Herrick Torquay

Cyber spin THE DEVELOPING world of cybernetics is attracting the attention of persons who live and interact in that world. Cybernetics is defined as the science of communications and automatic control systems in both machines and living things. The cyber world provides many examples of binary cerebration in which a choice between two options governs machines’ and humans’ decision making, colloquially known as ticking the right boxes. Government participation in the making of decisions for electorates may have unaccountable influence in human activity due to the existence of the phenomenon of unconscious cerebration, defined as an action of the brain reaching a result without conscious thought. The claim by politically motivated feminists and others that we can change attitudes raises ethical concerns about government strategies like spin to obtain consensus agreement for important legislation and acceptance of unpopular legislation such as a carbon tax.

Limeburners Link is an initiative of Shell, Greening Australia Victoria and the City of Greater Geelong that provides training for local residents and aims to enhance the natural environment of Limeburners Bay, an estuary on the shores of Corio Bay. Mr Mark Schubert, general manager of Shell’s Geelong reﬁnery said Limeburners Link aligns closely with the company’s commitment to support projects with an education focus or objective. “Through Limeburners Link we are building capacity and providing pathways for the community into further training and employment, while achieving on-ground outcomes in ecological restoration,” said Mr Schubert.

Squeezing Juice from a Stone one knows.” Stone attributed the band’s growing popularity to the success of hit singles Broken Leg and Ain’t Telling The Truth. The recognition of Bluejuice’s four top-100 singles had provided the impetus for growth, he said. “We’ve got eight pieces and backing tracks this time around, which is the best thing for us to do at the moment,” he said. “It just came at the right time for us because we hadn’t done something we had been completely happy with.” Despite the band’s uneasiness with past productions, Stone said Bluejuice had stuck with its self-deprecating lyrics on the new album. “Our lyrics are usually about making fun of ourselves, which is very Australian,” he laughed. “The issues are serious, like relationship problems and so forth, but usually cannot be resolved, so we poke fun at them. “I think our fans can relate to that.” Bluejuice plays at Torquay Hotel this Friday night.

BY ERIN PEARSON LADIES, he’s single, looking for love and performing on the Surf Coast next weekend. Bluejuice front man Jake Stone spoke to the Independent from the back seat of his touring van last week with an air of excitement about his pending visit. The band would promote new album Company this time around while taking in the region’s sun and surf, Stone said. “We can’t wait to have a bit of a mini holiday while we’re in Torquay. We’ve been down a few times before and all love the surf,” he said. “The Australian coastline is a great place.” Stone said the band’s latest album had grown into something bigger and better than initially expected. “We’re at a really fun level with the band at the moment and have grown into eight pieces. “We’ve added a guitar and other things, making our new tunes better than ever before. “It’s certainly a surreal feeling to know a song you sat in your room and wrote at some odd hour of the night can become something every-

Finally Friday Otway dinosaurs in fossil exhibition DINOSAURS are back in the Otways thanks to Apollo Bay couple Greg Denney and Deb Moore. The pair’s new company, Otway Dinosaurs, is hosting Monash University’s Wildlife of Gondwana exhibition on unique archeological discoveries in the Otways. They said the exhibition showcased fossil records from across

the former Great Southern Continent, which included Australia, South America, Antarctica, Africa and India. Denney’s family property was a base for paleontologists and volunteers who uncovered the remains along Otways foreshore more than a decade ago. “They found ancient flood

deposits that revealed some amazing creatures, changing the way that dinosaurs have been looked at. And it all happened in our backyard – literally.” The exhibition will be at Otway Dinosaurs until April. Denney said anyone seeking more information could phone 5237 1111.

New operator at Teahouse he Teahouse at Geelong Botanic Gardens is now serving award-winning coffee after Brioche Catering took over this month. New manager David Pollitt says the cafe has been bustling with regulars and newcomers enjoying delicious home-cooked food and espresso coffee. “We have the same friendly faces and homecooked food from our Cafe Brioche at 175 West Fyans St, Newtown,” David says. “It’s in such a beautiful spot. We want people coming back time and time again to eat and then go for a wander in the gardens.” The Teahouse boasts a brand-new coffee machine, bronze-medal-winning Capra coffee beans roasted in Geelong and enthusiastic new staff. The staff are looking forward to serving a barbecue, food and drinks during February’s Music in the Gardens nights. The four enjoyable evenings kick off on February 5 with sixpiece acoustic crossover band Ricketty Bridge. Fifties groovers The Hip Cats play on February 12, Soul Sister Swing performs its infectious Motown tunes on February 19 and threepiece African Agogo plays its traditional music on February 26. The cafe will also open during a production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in the gardens from 4pm on January 21 and 22. David wants anyone planning a wedding to know that Brioche Catering can offer high-quality catering at any venue. “Pop in and discuss your requirements at the teahouse or the cafe,” he says. The Teahouse at Geelong Botanic Gardens is open from 9.30am to 4pm with lovely seating both inside and outside.

Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (don’t let bowl touch the water) until chocolate melts, then remove bowl and stir chocolate until smooth. Cool slightly. Set aside a quarter of raspberries, then place remainder in a bowl with icing sugar and 2 tbs grappa. Leave to macerate until needed. Using electric beaters, beat egg yolks and caster sugar in a large bowl until pale and thick. Beat in the mascarpone, followed by the cooled chocolate. Using a clean bowl and beaters, beat eggwhites to stiff peaks, then fold into chocolate mix. Place coffee in a dish with remaining 2 tablespoons grappa. Dip half the sponge fingers briefly in mixture, then layer in a 2-litre (8-cup) dish, trimming to fit in a single layer. Spread half the chocolate mixture over sponge, then top with macerated berries. Dip remaining sponge in coffee mixture, then layer on top of berries, followed by remaining chocolate. Cover and chill for 4 hours. Dust liberally with cocoa and garnish with reserved raspberries to serve.

electronic stability control (ESC). The car has yet to sit for its local ANCAP safety test, but when tested in Europe it received a four-star rating. That car didn’t have ESC so Holden is quietly confident that the Australian model will receive the maximum five stars. Other standard features on the entry-level Spark CD include air conditioning, power front windows, USB and iPod/iPhone input, MP3 compatible audio with steering wheels mounted controls and 14-inch alloy wheels. The CD model will sell for $12,490 (without dealer or government charges). The higher-specced CDX, priced at an RRP of $13,990 (there’s no driveaway special price) adds 15-inch alloys, a larger, body-coloured rear spoiler, rear power windows, Sportec seat trim and a storage tray under the front passenger’s seat. As a keen driver it’s easy to be critical of the Barina Spark’s modest performance but that’s not what this car is about. Rather, put yourself in the place of a parent with a newly-licensed daughter, a manual licence that is – as they all should have. Here’s a $13,000 five-door hatch with a funky styling that will appeal to her and her friends. It’s got six airbags, ABS brakes and stability control (a big tick from you); and it doesn’t go particularly fast (another tick from you).

BY ERIC BLAIR olden Barina Spark is sold internationally as the Chevrolet Spark. However Holden (quite sensibly) chose to cash in on its long-serving nameplate rather than adopt an all-new name. With its combination of cute styling, features, bright colours and a starting price of just $12,490 (plus onroads) Barina Spark five-door hatch should be a sure-fire winner with the Generation Y female market that Holden will be targeting. At first glance Barina Spark has the sporty look of a three-door hot hatch but a closer look reveals that the rear door handles are cleverly disguised at the top rear of the door – a feature pioneered several years ago by Alfa Romeo. The rear of the Spark is dominated by a pair of round tail lights on either side of the car which, while they do clash with the flowing lines, add character as well as a point of differentiation from its competitors. Inside, the flowing style continues although again the flow is broken, this time by two separate instrument panels mounted behind the steering wheel that almost look as if they’re aftermarket fitments. A bit of a ‘blokey’ touch for such a female-oriented car but once again Holden has to be applauded for providing something just that little bit different. Power for the Barina Spark comes from a 1.2-litre petrol engine that generates 59 kilowatts at 6400 rpm and 107 Nm at 4800 rpm. Fuel consumption is rated at 5.6 litres per 100 kilometres with CO2 emissions of 128 grams per kilometre. Interior space is acceptable with good front headroom thanks to the design that has the highest point of the car immediately above the front seat occupants. Rear legroom is limited although headroom is still reasonable. Rear storage is limited to 170 litres with the rear seatbacks in place and 580 litres with them folded. Despite its low price Barina Spark is no stripped-down special. Safety features include front, side and curtain airbags, ABS brakes and

BY ERIC BLAIR he growth of the compact SUV continues unabated with even the iconic British/German marque Mini joining the fray with a model called Countryman. Actually it’s not the first time that Mini has been in the off-road market, those with long memories will recall the Mini Moke that was built in Australia until the early 1980s. Countryman has many features not seen in the cute little Aussie Moke. To start with the Countryman will have a roof – something that was an optional extra on the Moke! Mini Countryman is an all-new model rather than a long wheelbase version of the standard Mini. It is larger in all directions and is almost in the midsize SUV class rather than being a small vehicle.

IN T S FYANS

Rather than calling the Mini Countryman an SUV, the title of SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle) has been revived. As in the heyday of the original Mini during the swinging sixties the Countryman is a stylish car that can be customised in a multitude of ways, both inside and out. The latter called Countryman ALL4. As with all of its type in the crossover field it’s not intended to be an off-road vehicle, but to be able to traverse unmade roads and icy surfaces. Ground clearance is greater on the Countryman than in the others in the Mini range, however at 149 mm it’s not much greater than in some passenger cars. Because the Countryman is a substantial 398 mm longer than the Mini three-door hatch it can be used to carry people in the back seats without those in front needing to give up a fair bit of

their legroom. To further facilitate this the Mini Countryman has four conventional passenger doors. Engine options are petrol and diesel. Manual and automatic transmissions, both with six forward ratios, are offered in the complete Countryman range, a smart move in Australia where fewer and fewer driver are opting for the control a manual gearbox provides. Steering and overall handling in the Countryman are possibly not quite as sharp as that in the smaller standard Mini, but are still way ahead of any other frontdrive car on the market. Mini has been a fashion statement for 50 years now and the allnew Mini Countryman will further enhance the fun side of motoring, particularly when you get right into customising yours.

Fresh and saltwater hosts variety show

Cats hunt early falls

Young gun: Samuel Smith a pair of snapper from the bay off St Leonards.

BRIAN LONG ANGLERS hooked into a huge variety of species in fresh and saltwater over the past week. Redfin were relatively easy to catch from the Barwon River at Queen’s Park and further upstream. Live minnow accounted for plenty of fish close to 1kg, with the area above Buckley Falls best. Lure anglers had to consistently move to find shoals but, once located, numbers of fish were caught. I caught and released over 50 redfin, the best well over 1kg, with a Scorpion 35 in the Coke Can colour my best lure. The river also produced some huge carp around Fyans and Queen’s parks. Bread or corn unweighted on light lines works well, with berley also a major help. Mitchell Slater was one of the lucky anglers on Corio Bay. Fishing from his Hobie kayak close in to Royal Geelong Yacht Club he caught a bag of fish including snapper to 45cm, salmon better than 1kg and four nice flathead, all on soft plastics. Stuart Ward was also successful when fishing the sandbar in the Grammar School lagoon. Stuart’s recorded an impressive tally of small snapper but his 2.3kg fish made the long walk in from Avalon Beach worthwhile. Stanley Jacobs nailed his bag limit of whiting in close to Bird Rock. Most fish averaged 33cm, with Stanley noting frantic action just as the sun was rising but tapering off when conditions become sunny. Xavier Hunt fished the outer-harbour spoil grounds with soft plastics for a nice bag of flathead, snapper and salmon. All the action was during the run-off from high tide. Few anglers have fished Wilson Spit over the past weeks but those who have, especially after dark, have landed snapper. Fresh pilchard has been the bait.

Last weekend Jason Smith and 11-yearold son Samuel hit the water off St Leonards at daylight. The full day’s effort in 22m was rewarded with five snapper to around 3kg. Whiting captures remained consistent, with early mornings or evenings best on the shallow grass beds between Clifton Springs and St Leonards. Pippies or fresh squid were the baits of choice. Edwards Point remained one of the hot spots for whiting. Inside Swan Bay, Noel Henry found a few big flathead after laying a liberal berley trail. Noel caught his first in less than 10 minutes, boating the 3.4kg whopper after a lengthy battle on light tackle. Noel finished with six other flathead, all were better than 1kg each. Sizes varied, with most close to 1kg but a few beauties reaching 3kg aboard Terry Stirling’s boat last weekend. Yellowtail kingfish remained a hot topic over the past week but most anglers who chased this species returned empty handed. I can’t go into detail of exactly

2012

how the fish were taken but can say that kings to 14kg were landed off Collendina. Big seas presented difficult conditions along the coast but salmon to 3kg were landed from the rock platforms between Eastern View and Lorne. Lure was the best method. Graham Shorten fished Deep Lake twice to find the fish quite active just on dark, returning on both occasions with two rainbows of around 1.3kg apiece. Graham used Atomic Shad lures. Redfin were still a viable option at Lake Purrumbete, with either ice jigs, vibes or bobbers. Lake Lonsdale was the destination for Paul Reece who trolled small Stumpjumpers to catch over 20 fish, all around 900g. This weekend the afternoon tides look ideal for snapper on soft plastics. Fish the outer-harbour spoil grounds with fourinch Gulp minnows or grubs. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Ave, Manifold Heights.

GEELONG Cricket Club will defend a competitive total in its premier league match against Melbourne this weekend. The Cats’ top order all chipped in to finish day one with 309 runs on the board. Hayden Butterworth was the star batting at number five, with his four hours at the crease leaving him agonisingly short of a well-deserved century on 99. He was well supported by Jacob Thorne with 70 and Luke Muller, 42. Marc Carson will look to take early wickets with the new pill tomorrow, before the Cats’ spin bowlers look to choke the life out of Melbourne and continue Geelong’s rise up the ladder. In Geelong Cricket Association, Grovedale has the upper hand in division one against Lara. The Tigers batted first last week and were quickly reduced to 3/52 after young quick Matthew Richmond took two early wickets. But from there star batsman Nick Peterson showed why he is one of the class players in the competition with a stirling 111. Veteran Simon Pearce provided support to fall just shy of a century on 97. After the scheduled 85 overs, Grovedale had amassed what should be a match winning total of 9/324. Daniel Weigl toiled well for Lara to be rewarded with five wickets. In division two, top three teams St Albans Breakwater, Murgheboluc and Geelong City were all dismissed for eerily similar scores last week but each fought back to claim crucial wickets to

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE keep their hopes of victory alive. Torquay looks the most likely to cause an upset when it resumes at 2/39 chasing St Albans Breakwater’s 137. Charlie Harris was the hero for the Tigers, bagging 5/20. St Peters bowled Murgheboluc out for 128 but fell to be 4/26 at the close of play. Marshall managed to do almost exactly the same, dismissing Geelong City for 141 but ending up on 4/27. All games will play an important role in the make up of the ladder, with a win or loss for any of these sides holding huge ramifications. In division three, Ty Watts made a majestic 146 to lead Meredith to a commanding position in its match of the round against Corio. Unfortunately for Meredith, though, too much was left to too few before the side ended up with a score of 237, dismissed in the 68 over thanks to three wickets each to Kevin Hayes and Jason Stewart. Corio faced three overs last week and wiped five runs off the defecit. If Jon Boljkovac can get Corio off to a good start and set a platform for gun bat Michael Ebborn then their side could be a chance to win this one.
