Stingray show on ‘hold’ over wharf mit through and now we’re just waiting on bureaucracy,” Mr Malouf said. Parks Victoria fenced off the damaged wharf, between Queenscliff Harbour and Swan Bay bridge, more than two years ago. The Independent reported in 2008 that Mr Malouf wanted to operate feeding shows to entertain and educate tourists about Queenscliff’s stingrays in their natural environment. Mr Malouf said his twice-

daily, 45-minute shows would rival Phillip Island’s penguins. “I’ve got an attraction that will bring in $60,000 to $80,000 a year.” Mr Malouf said a 10-week trial in 2008 attracted 5500 spectators. Borough of Queenscliffe Mayor Bob Merriman said the wharf was a victim of “the greatest inactivity ever seen”. “The previous (state) government put in $1.8 million and since the election nothing’s happened. I’d like to see the government get

off its backside and do something about the whole project.” Cr Merriman said he was unable to comment on the stingray proposal because council had yet to see plans. Labor Member for Bellarine Lisa Neville accused State Government of treating the community with “contempt”. “It’s a disgrace that the money is there and this work has not commenced,” she said. A Parks Victoria spokesperson said stabilising works on part of

the wharf started in June but were on hold for review. “Parks Victoria and Queenscliff Harbour are reviewing and re-scoping the Fisherman’s Wharf renewal project to ensure it allows for the future development of a stingray feeding tourism attraction in line with community expectations.” Queenscliff Harbour’s Sean Blackwood hoped the show could begin by Christmas. Queenscliff Harbour leases the wharf area from Parks Victoria.

BY MICHELLE HERBISON PLANS for a stingray-feeding tourist attraction are stuck in limbo amid inaction on a crumbling Queenscliff wharf, according to the proponent. Andrew Malouf said he had a permit to feed the stingrays but the “absolutely disgraceful” condition of Fisherman’s Wharf was stopping him submitting an application to build a 150-seat auditorium. “I’ve been pushing this for four years.

BY MICHELLE HERBISON HENRY Hudson enjoys keeping busy and involving himself in Queenscliff’s community – and this year it’s thanking him. The maritime heritage enthusiast has received an Australia Day award for services to museums, heritage preservation and the community. “It’s rather a surprise and a humbling thought,” Dr Hudson said. Queenscliffe Maritime Museum partly owes its existence to Dr Hudson, who helped found it in the 1980s. “Probably the main reason why we established the museum was because the Queenscliff lifeboat had been taken out of service and it was a pity to just see it in the harbour deteriorating,” he remembered. These days Dr Hudson divides his time between his role as chairman of Maritime Museum of Victoria board, Rotary club activities and teaching U3A classes. “I think one of the most important things is to keep your brain active and keep busy.” Wallington’s Susan Marriott also received an Australia Day award for her international Landcare work. Mrs Marriott set up a Secretariat of International Landcare, bringing to the world Australia’s bottom-up approach to environmental issues. “It kind of happened by accident,” she remembered. “It all started with the idea that if you get people excited by actually showing them something they might do something similar.” Mrs Marriott has travelled to South Africa, Sri Lanka and many other countries to encourage communities to network and share knowledge about how to care for their environments.

FOR GEELONG the designs,” Mr Senia said. “Some are striking in their beauty, others are remarkable for their inventiveness. The competition has certainly inspired designers to produce some of their best work, all for the benefit of Geelong. “Of course, some of the entries will also be controversial. I look forward to the reaction as they’re revealed in the Independent over the next few weeks.”

Managing editor Tony Galpin said the paper would run stories on ideas and entries to the competition as well as reader feedback in the lead-up to the winner announcement. “The community can expect some interesting reading, that’s for sure.” The Independent is a sponsor of the Icon for Geelong competition.

Prescriptions’ robbery surge

1020515-JM05-12

BY ERIN PEARSON DESPERATE drug addicts have started robbing chemist customers for their prescriptions, police have warned. Geelong Police Detective Senior Constable Heath Kay feared that an attack on a middleaged man outside an East Geelong pharmacy last Friday was a sign of things to come. He warned customers to be vigilant as they left pharmacies with medicine. The robbery victim had purchased medicine from an East Geelong pharmacy held up at gunpoint last year for opioid-based pain-relief drug Oxycontin. Det Sen Const Kay said the man was walking home after picking up his prescription from Discount Drug Store on Ormond

Rd, East Geelong, when a male and female began chasing him. Police believed the pair might have been watching him, knowing what medication he had purchased. Det Sen Const Kay said the pair chased the victim in a Foodworks supermakret where they attacked him and stole his medince. The incident should serve as a warning to other chemist customer, Det Sen Const Kay said. “If you’re leaving the doctor and going straight to the chemist be aware that people may be around watching you.” Det Sen Const Kay said police also recovered a Taser at the scene. Police described the alleged female as in her early 30s, about 160cm with a thin build and died pink hair. The male was in his late 30s, about 185cm tall with a medium

build and dark brown hair. Discount Drug Store pharmacist Jackie, who wanted her surname withheld, said robbers who held her staff at gunpoint in November were after Oxycontin. The Independent reported in May that addicts were turning to prescription medication as a cheaper alternative to illicit substances. Barwon Health emergency doctor David Eddy said prescription drug overdoses had increased with the trend to prescription drugs. Dr Eddy said addicts had tried to obtain prescription drugs including strong painkillers Oxycontin and Endone from the emergency department. Police asked anyone with information on the East Geelong robbery to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

‘Return to solariums’ raises fears for health BY ERIN PEARSON EVIDENCE of a trend back to solariums in Geelong has alarmed a Victorian organisation fighting skin cancer. SunSmart Victoria manager Sue Heward said she was “very concerned” that solarium use was increasing again. Beauty salons in Geelong have reported a decrease in spray-on tan clients and a corresponding increase in customers seeking solarium treatments. Ms Heward warned that solariums were no safer despite regulations. Solarium use before the age of 35

boosted the risk of melanoma 75 per cent, she said. “Research shows that some solarium users are being exposed to UV levels up to six times the strength of the midday sun and solarium operators are unaware of the excessive levels of UV radiation their customers are being exposed to. “Our skin remembers everything – all the sunburns, tans, solarium visits or just simple day-to-day time spent outdoors without sun protection. “It all adds up, increasing your risk of skin cancer.” A Belmont health and beauty centre

operator, who did not want to be identified, said clients had told her they were giving up on weekly tan sprays for daily solarium sessions. The operator, who has worked in the beauty industry for more than a decade, feared the trend could send beauty salons relying on spray tanning broke and damage the skin of former clients. “We’ve noticed a steady decline of a regular 50 to 60 weekly and fortnightly spray tan clients over the past six months,” she said. “Many 16-to-35-year-old women are just prepared to do what it takes to look great.”

Planet Sun Tan and Beauty owner Janine Moyle said demand for solarium services had increase at her salond. She believed at-home spray tan machines were the reason fewer people were seeking salon spray tans. “I don’t believe spray tanning is dying I just think there’s more competition,” she said. “People are still using solariums though and haven’t stopped using them over the years. “It’s still a very big part of our businesses because people like a long lasting tan. We even offer a spray and bake so clients can get the best of both options.”

Teacher tributes FAMILY, friends and colleagues have paid emotional tributes to a 36-year-old woman who died after trying to rescue her autistic son from surf at Urquhart Bluff. Melbourne teacher Demet Latifoglu died soon after arriving at hospital on Sunday, with seven people swept out to sea in the incident.

Hospital approved A PROPOSED $447 million hospital for Waurn Ponds is a step closer after securing a rezoning of its 8.8-hectare site, State Planning Minister Matthew Guy has announced. He said the joint Deakin University and Epworth Healthcare training and research hospital would provide 1000 jobs in construction and 1100 ongoing positions for staff.

Business fined A CHEF’S broken arm has cost a Geelong business a conviction and a $6000 fine in Geelong Magistrates’ Court. WorkSafe Victoria said GT 10 Geelong pleaded guilty over an accident in which the chef’s sleeve was caught in an unguarded machine at The Groove Train restaurant.

Sport boosts A $600,000 funding injection will upgrade facilities at two busy Geelong sport clubs, according to South Barwon MP Andrew Katos. He said the Baillieu Government had provided $400,000 to Barwon Soccer Club for new clubrooms and $200,000 to Highton Tennis Club.

Plenty of colour Carmen to Pako for street parade

Project starts DEMOLITION of the former Geelong Hotel has marked a start of a $56 million project to redevelop St John of God Hospital, according to management. The hospital said the former hotel, on the corner of Moorabool and Myers Sts, would make way for a six-storey medical centre “to enhance health care options for the Geelong community”.

Boatshed opening GEELONG’S oldest rowing club will have a grand opening of its redeveloped boatshed this weekend after years of battling to fundraise for the project. Barwon Rowing Club said Sunday’s opening would celebrate the generosity of members and supporters over the past 15 years as well as grants from State Government and City of Greater Geelong.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN CARMEN Mirandas of all sizes, shapes and colours are set to overrun Geelong West’s Pakington St next month as part of Pako Festa. The huge multicultural festival and street parade will celebrate its 30th anniversary next month with a cavalcade of participants dressed as the festa icon. Event director Luisa La Fornara said the festival’s official Carmen Miranda, played by singer and dancer Jessica Costa, was seeking 30 assistant Carmens to add even more colour to the day’s celebrations. “We’re looking for anyone who might have a secret Carmen Miranda trapped inside them ready to burst out,” Ms La Fornara said. “We’d love to be surprised by lots of different ideas about how outrageously gorgeous your Carmen can be. “Former Carmens are welcome to play an encore. It’s open to anyone, so let your imagination go wild.” Ms La Fornara said Ms Costa and her 30 assistant Carmen Mirandas would lead the parade down Pako to represent each year of the great procession. This year’s festa would also feature Art on Parade, a mobile sculptural installation using recycled materials from previous festivals. An Art on Parade float would be dismantled into discrete sculptures and transformed into a gateway to the festival at the end of Pakington St. Ms La Fornara said the sculpture would later go on display in various venues for the rest of the year. The festival attracts more than 100,000 people to Geelong’s multicultural heart each February. State Government has provided $100,000 funding, while BCC Computers and Betta Geelong West have also given support. Ms La Fornara said anyone interested in parading as a Carmen should phone 5221 6044 to get involved. Pako Festa will be on Saturday, February 25. The Independent is a sponsor of Pako Festa.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN WASTE timber could make Geelong the Australian leader in bio-fuel production, according to a group of businessmen. Australian New Energy managing director Matthew Deretic said the group had invested an initial “$2 million to $3 million” producing fuel pellets from waste timber. The investment could grow to $20 million as the company investigated other alternative energy technologies, Mr Deretic said. The pellet plant, expected to produce 10,000 tonnes, will be based at a Moolap waste transfer station under the management of Bellarine Tree Services director Adrian Probert. “This is a great opportunity for Geelong to be the leader in Australia in this field of renewable energy,” Mr Deretic said. “With assistance from State Government and industry, Geelong will become the home of a global, environmentally sustainable renewable energy resource.” Mr Deretic said the company had already signed agreements with Bunnings, Mitre 10 and Calco Timber to source waste wood. “These businesses were paying $88 a tonne to send their waste wood to landfill. “We save it from landfill and process the wood into pellets with the same burning energy as coal.”

The Royal Children’s Hospital has installed a pellet burning heating system. “I can see us supplying bags

of pellets back to Bunnings and Mitre 10 for sale to the public for use in domestic heating such as wood heaters and open fireplaces or wood stoves.” Mr Deretic said the company was also investigating technology to process tyres, medical and household waste. “ANE has signed a heads of agreement with Powerhouse Energy Australia to jointly develop projects to convert bio-

We recently signed an agreement with Point NRGY to supply the pellets for these types of uses,” he said.

Toxic algae threat ANOTHER outbreak of toxic algae has closed part of the Barwon River in Geelong, the river’s manager has announced. Corangamite Catchment Management Authority said blue-green algae had put the river off limits below Baum’s Weir to the Moorabool St Bridge. The authority closed other sections of the river last week and warned swimmers and anglers to beware of algae in the river’s estuary at Barwon Heads. Humans and pets should avoid contact with the water, the authority warned. Blue-green algae can cause skin rashes, eye and ear infections, vomiting, diarrhea, mouth ulcers, a sore throat and asthma symptoms.

Engineer’s purchase full of lost goodies

Containing a surprise

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN WORK has begun on a fish and chip shop and function centre over Corio Bay at Western Beach. Proponent Malcolm Ralton said the start of construction was the culmination of a three-year process to secure approval for the development. Mr Ralton said he initially proposed a floating fish and chip shop but the facility would now rest on eight 12-metre piles driven into the seabed and with a “wave attenuator” for protection. Safety concerns had forced the change to ensure a stable base for cooking, he said. “The first of the piles are being driven into place now and then we will lay a flat barge over the piles. We have a prefabricated structure ready to erect on the base.” Mr Ralton said the barge was previously a floating fish and chip shop on the Yarra River at Docklands in Melbourne.

A $650,000 rescue mission will stop further damage to the region’s peak performing arts facility, according to Victorian Regional Cities Minister Denis Napthine. He announced the grant for Geelong Performing Arts Centre this week to fix damage from heavy rain last year. Mr Napthine called the roof repairs a “vital project” given the arts centre was an essential component of plans to redevelop the city’s cultural precinct.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A HAUL of lost goods inside a recently purchased shipping container has surprised a North Geelong engineering company owner. Brett Fullarton said he discovered the stash when he opened his new shipping container last week. “To my surprise there were some goodies in there,” Mr Fullarton said. “I just brought a second-hand container, I wasn’t expecting it to arrive complete with contents.” Mr Fullarton said he received his second surprise when Monbulk Police contacted him while investigating the “brazen” theft of a container. “I rang the seller and said there was a heap of stuff in there. We traced it back to Monbulk Rotary Club. “It’s funny because the driver who delivered the container asked me when he delivered whether there was anything in it. He noticed it was a bit weighty when he was loading the truck, it seemed heavier than usual. “There was a bit of stuff scattered around, it obviously wasn’t prepared for a trip.” Mr Fullarton said he could chuckle in hindsight about his role in the quirky turn of events. Monbulk Rotary’s Rob Clark said he noticed the container missing on December 22. “We rang the police to report our container had been stolen. We used it to store all our memorabilia and records – it had 40 years of history in there,” Mr Clark said. “We’d asked the local council for permission to use it. We had no idea the container was originally loaned to a local group that disbanded, so the owner

BY MICHELLE HERBISON SURF COAST house prices swelled 25 per cent but Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remained â&#x20AC;&#x153;relatively stableâ&#x20AC;? in 2011, according to Real Estate Institute of Victoria. The instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s data showed Surf Coast Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s median house price was $677,500 in December, up from $540,500 a year before.

Buyers can get better value here than they can in many parts of Melbourne.â&#x20AC;? Ms Tobolov said last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reduced confidence in the economy made buyers hold back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This last year has seen sales take

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN PLANNING authorities allowing homes to be built in flood-prone areas are contributing to spiralling insurance premiums, according to a Geelong broker. Geelong Insurance Brokers’ Don Shields said councils including City of Greater Geelong were flood mapping out of fear of litigation. “Councils have scared people by telling them they’re going to get wet,” Mr Shields said. “Councils allowed people to build in flood plains without proper flood mitigation in place, now

they’re worried about being sued.” The City awaiting Planning Minister Matthew Guy to approve extensive flood mapping completed last year. The Independent reported in August that properties with new flood overlays faced increased building costs and reduced values. Mr Shields said private operators were now stepping in to prepare flood maps for areas councils had overlooked. “Companies are doing their own flood mapping because they need to be able to calculate the risk.”

Mr Shields warned that some policyholders faced large increases in their premiums. Flood insurance would no longer be available for some properties in postcodes such as Barwon Heads. “Premium rises are occurring primarily because of the number of disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis and cold snaps around the world,” Mr Shields said. “Insurance companies make up the difference between premiums and payouts by investment but the markets are also down.

Charity walker’s ‘battles’ revealed BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A NEW BOOK reveals a 20-year battle with alcoholism for a Geelong man who walked across Australia twice for charity. The book, From Point AA to Point B, also recounts John Olsen’s encounters with lightning strikes, dust storms and outback sand dunes that nearly broke him. Author and Rollins Primary School teacher Rhys Thurston said the book detailed Mr Olsen’s struggle as a “dependent alcoholic” before his long walks north to south and east to west. “It candidly reveals the depths and misgivings of being controlled by the bottle,” Mr Thurston said. The grandfather of nine’s unaided walks raised more than $125,000 for cerebral palsy and leukodystrophy sufferers. “I thought it was a great story that should be told, so I knocked

60 plus, not out YOU’RE a long time retired no matter the game but a group of Geelong cricketers are defying that long-standing sports maxim. They formed Geelong Over60s Cricket Club and are keen to drag fellow former flannelled fools out of their doldrums. “Lots of blokes played when they were younger and retired for various reasons and have been missing it,” explained club secretary Graham Mulroney. “This is a really good way to have another go at it.” Graham said the club, now in its third season, had 25 registered players and was “growing all the time”. “Don’t worry about the odd creaking bone, we all have those,” he laughed. “It’s more about the friendships and camaraderie and a chance to get out and be a bit active. “We play Sundays during the season and rotate players through the side so everyone gets a go every couple of weeks. “We’re halfway through the sea-

Join the club JOHN VAN KLAVEREN son but if any new blokes want to join in we’ll try to get them a game so they can get an idea of what it’s all about.” Graham said over-60s cricket had been going in Victoria for six years, with 16 teams across the state. The club played on a “beautiful turf wicket” on Stinton Oval at Queen’s Park Graham said. “It’s a beautiful setting, the facilities are great, you build up great mateship and, while we’re as competitive as we can be, once the game’s over we enjoy each other’s company in the bar.” Graham said the club played a one-day, 40-over game format with rules tweaked to encourage

participation. Batters retired at 40 to give the next batsman a go, while eight bowlers were required to roll the arm over for a maximum eight overs. No ladder was kept so no finals were played, Graham said. “Not playing for points encourages everyone to have a go. It’s simply good for our health. “All sorts of qualities of cricket are played, from someone like Robert Agg who has been selected in the over-60s Australian test team to someone who hasn’t played for years. “We want to encourage all standards to have a go simply because we love playing cricket.” Graham said the game offered opportunities to travel to places such as England and New Zealand for over-60s games, while touring teams often visited Australia. Graham said more information was available at geelong over60.vic.cricket.com.au or by emailing him on graham.mulroney@jazi.net.

LEAVES IN YOUR GUTTERS? Protect your home against ﬁre and ﬂooding ® C Install Allclear Leafguard made from Colorbond Steel There is a Colorbond® product on the market AllClear Leafguard that can save you all the hassles regarding leaves blocking your gutters and creating a fire hazard.

It is for this reason that the AllClear Leafguard can safely give you an amazing 20 year warranty. AllClear Leafguard is secured under your tile or iron roof and to the front of your guttering.

AllClear Leafguard made from Colorbond® steel has many benefits, including protecting and prolonging the life of your gutters.

When the Leafguard is in place it cannot be seen from the ground, so it does not ruin the appearance of your roof.

Gone are the days of spending hours of your valuable weekend time up on a ladder cleaning your gutters by hand. AllClear Leafguard will do the job for you. By keeping your gutters clear of leaves, it will stop any overflowing which causes water damage to your home and will ensure gutters last years longer. AllClear Leafguard was developed by Ron Lienert after he spent 20 years in the home improvement business, including many years using other leafguard products. “I saw a need for a good Leafguard and was able to evolve a successful formula,” Ron Lienert said. The problem of bushfires is always upon us and there is a pressing need for home owners to protect their properties as best they can in the event of fire.

could easily catch on fire, leading the flames to the body of your home. AllClear Leafguard is made of Colorbond® steel, the same material as your gutters – so it won’t melt in fire or perish and become brittle. It stops embers and burning leaves getting under the roof. When there are no leaves on the roof or in the gutter there is nothing to burn so the embers just sit and then go out. Fire prone areas are being urged to get their gutters fitted with metal leafguards to protect against potential bush fires.

One of the ways home owners can be prepared is by ensuring their gutters are free of leaves and debris that

AllClear Leafguard is designed especially for the collection of clean water for rain water tanks. The best way to save our valuable water is to have leaf and debris free gutters to stop the overflow and flooding. The gutters are still able to be flushed and cleaned if necessary to ensure clean and hygienic tank water all year round. The Australian made AllClear Leafguard has proved extremely successful over the years being recognized as the more superior Leafguard on the market in Victoria, NSW, SA, QLD, WA and TAS. AllClear staff have been trained in all aspects of leaf and gutter problems to help bring this amazing product to you.

Geelong ‘poo injector’ excites farmers BY MICHELLE HERBISON PUSHING poo underground could be the key to sustainable farming, according to a Geelong company testing an invention. Southern Farming Systems director John Sheehan said his new subsoil machine injected chicken manure underground to potentially double crop yields. He predicted the cost of manure would rise as farmers realised its precious potential. A recent Department of Primary Industries study found that manure buried 30cm to 50cm down caused soil changes leading to efficiency gains in the use of water and nutrients. “This is certainly the next big breakthrough in high-rainfall cropping,” Mr Sheehan said. “To feed the population, all our gains have to come through tech-

provide Geelong with a manufacturing windfall. Department scientist Renick Peries said trials had produced successful crop increases in the past two years.

Politicians do not escape, either. It is not “parliament are”, it is “parliament is”. Footy and cricket commentators persistently make comments like “England are all out” or “Essendon have won”. Wrong! England is all out and Essendon has won. Then we hear politicians say they “wanna” say this and “they are gonna do it”. What is wrong with “want to” and “going to”? Is the cause a lack of teaching knowledge, laziness or the advent of texting? No one seems to care. English is going down the gurgler quickly. Most do not seem to worry and many are in “agreeance”. That’s right, there is no such word. The correct word is agreement but that is another story. Bob Dare Portarlington

ABOUT five years ago Surf Coast Shire placed a skip and other bins adjacent to my property on Grossmans Rd as a free opportunity for anyone to dump their garbage instead of travelling to the Anglesea tip and paying to leave their rubbish. I believe this is the only facility of its kind in the Surf Coast and Geelong municipalities. But I am forever picking up plastic et cetera after every southwest wind. I wrote to Surf Coast Shire chief executive officer Mark Davies last year about this problem, with copies to all councilors, requesting compensation or even a reduction in my rates, which are now sky high and, for we pensioners, nearly impossible to pay. Mr Davies’ reply was that I was now a pensioner, so I received a pension. True, but would there be another pensioner in Torquay who has to put up with this type of response? No. Also, rats and mice attracted to the site love to come into my place to feed on my tomatoes and vegetables, so I am always buying rodent poison. No way do the above words satisfy my feelings or regard for Surf Coast Shire. Cliff Winkler Torquay

THE LAST time the coalition was in power it inherited massive debt created by the Labor party. With good management the coalition paid the debt and ended up with a surplus. To my understanding, the money accrues interest in the bank and this could be put to use for the good of the country. Given that Labor is always in debt and unions call the shots I’m surprised they were able to regain power again. Christina Dengler Norlane

Where’s the proof? I WRITE in reply to my perennial detractor Gavin Brown and Faye Smith (Letters, January 13). Global warming theory became the cause célèbre of the past three decades before it had a chance to become good science. We have never had a full, honest, national debate. We have yet to be informed of the costs to the Australian economy of not using cheap and reliable coal-fired power and the discouraging of fossil fuel development and the promoting of green alternatives. The public needs to know the choices being made. The Gillard Government has not satisfactorily answered how much the Earth has warmed and how much of that is directly due to man. Carbon dioxide (CO2) cannot drive climate change simply because a cold atmosphere sending back radiation to an already warmer surface cannot further warm the surface. Professors Claes Johnson and Asif Nahle have proven this impossible, both mathematically and empirically. There is virtually no discernable impact on the warming effect from anthropogenic CO2. In fact, CO2 might cause a slight cooling by blocking some infrared radiation from the Sun. Tony Abbott must stick with his promise to repeal the totally shameful and wasteful carbon tax and renewable energy package. Alan Barron Grovedale

Greetings from Geelong BY ERIN PEARSON A NEW bass player will help make 2012 the year of The Greeting Method, according to frontman Reagan Lowry. He said the Geelong progressive rock had welcomed Keaton Marin after going through a succession of bass players in the past five years. Marin joins Lowry on guitar and vocals and Adam Zaffarese on drums to complete the three-piece. Lowry said the band was a long time in the making but now “fits like a glove”. “We feel like we’re a unit now. We’ve found the right people,” he said. “We’re comfortable and productive at the same time. It’s good to have that stability.” Lowry said the “solid vision” shared between the members would give The Greeting Method a basis to achieve success on the rock scene. The band would now “embrace” 2012 as an opportunity to focus on its music while building fans in Australia and overseas. “We’ve been touring around and we’ve been really well received,” Lowry said. “It reaffirms that, at the time you’re working very hard and doing it because you love it, it’s paying off. “We’re no passing fad. This is our life and what we want to do.” Lowry said Albany then Sydney were the next stops for The Greeting Method before returning home for a

Interactive lure in our backyard BY ERIN PEARSON CHILDREN can ride a giant bee or discover what lies beneath their garden pavers at a new exhibition in Geelong’s National Wool Museum, according its director. Gordon Johnston said Amazing Backyard Adventures was an educational experience exploring the workings of everything from backyard creatures to blades of grass. “The whole family can come along and there’s something there for them to do,” Johnston said. The exhibition features 16 interactive science experiences covering plants, animals, insects and the interactions between creatures as well as the physics behind play equipment and “typical tinkering” in a garden shed. Johnston said growing interest in the museum’s interactive exhibitions had left him “pleasantly surprised”. “A similar exhibition we had from Melbourne Museum had 17,000 visitors in just 10 weeks, all predominantly from the local Geelong area. It showed us there’s a very viable audience for these exhibitions in Geelong, which is exciting for everyone.” The museum will host Amazing Backyard Adventures until February 26.

Lip service: The Greeting Method is excited about 2012. Geelong show. The touring had built the band’s worldliness so it could “grab the bull by the horns into the future”. Lowry said The Greeting Method’s attitude of defiance, which resonated

throughout its lyrics, would add “a touch of psychology” to the newfound focus. “We hope people come away from a gig feeling something real. A lot of bands are very fake and produced

these days, we want our music to have a bit more raw emotion. “We want to revitalise the honest and artistic side of music.” The Greeting Method plays the Barwon Club on February 3.

Bee there: The wool museum’s latest exhibition will capitivate children.

RSL open to everyone eelong RSL welcomes guests to enjoy its facilities this year. Manager Chris Bennett says everyone is welcome at the RSL despite common misconceptions. “You don’t have to have served in defence forces or be the relative of a service-person. “We’re here for everyone, we just especially honour our fallen and departed and look after and offer mateship to our returning.” The club’s Belmont building has recently been renovated, with the car park now fitting 155 vehicles. Chris encourages readers to visit the RSL so they can enjoy the food and atmosphere in the newly renovated entertainment area and lounge. Food and drink at Geelong RSL is always affordable for members at $8.50 for lunch specials and $3.50 for pots of beer. Chris says memberships can be purchased for as little as $35. The club ensures extra value for money midweek when it hosts a regular 250g steak night on Tuesdays for $13. Chris says Wednesday’s $13 parma and pot night is very popular, attracting a wide range of people of all ages. Geelong RSL also hosts bands every Saturday night and holds jazz sessions from 5.30pm to 8.30pm Sundays with a twocourse meal for $18.

We had over 20 boys last year and will be running boys-only classes again this year.” Working alongside Ann-Marie, Tap-High’s 2012 instructors are: • Michelle McDowall, an experienced classical ballet, tap and jazz dancer, choreographer and teacher who has choreographed local productions including Medimime and The Sound Of Music; • Jana Kolacz, an experienced dancer and choreographer in hiphop, funk, jazz, tap, contemporary and ballet; • Jordan Fruk, a student of Jason Coleman’s Ministry of Dance who was recently seen on TV’s X Factor.

he Ballet School opened at Drysdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Potato Shed in 2008 under the direction of Allegonda Deppe. The school offers ballet classes for students aged from five through to young adults. Dance, particularly ballet, encourages selfesteem, team building, graceful deportment and physical coordination. The Ballet School keeps class numbers low to give students personal attention and the opportunity to get to know each other. Allegonda Deppe is a fellow of Cecchetti Ballet Australia and a member of Cecchetti Ballet International. She danced with West Australian Ballet Company, taught dance at primary and secondary levels and directed her own schools in Perth and Bunbury. Allegonda has always been a great believer in the amalgamation of the performing and visual arts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a dancer, actor or musician, one needs to be aware of art forms as they all integrate,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Movement, line, shape and colour are involved in all art forms and the more art forms children are exposed to the finer artists they become.â&#x20AC;?

BY ERIC BLAIR he Audi A7 Sportback shares similar coupe-like lines and approximate dimensions as cars such as the Mercedes-Benz CLS, BMW 5 Series GT and Porsche Panamera. All are members of a new market segment being called four-door coupes, although strictly speaking the Porsche and Audi, being hatchbacks, are five-door coupes. The Audi A7 uses the now-familiar single-frame grille. Although smaller in the A7 than in the squarer sedan models it still dominates the front of the car where it’s framed by narrow headlights fringed by Lshaped daytime running lights. The Audi A7 shares the same long-wheelbase, short-overhang body with its A5 sibling. The sweeping roof-line is long and low giving the car a smooth, sleek profile. The interior is equally stylish. The front sports seats are comfortable and supportive. Power for the Australian A7 Sportback models comes from a choice of two 3.0-litre V6 engines, one a supercharged petrol, the other a turbocharged diesel. Maximum power and torque are 220 kW/440Nm from the petrol and 180 kW/500Nm from the diesel with zero to 100 km/h acceleration of 5.6 and 6.5 seconds respectively. Both engines are mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission and Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive.

Audi has been a pioneer in the use of aluminium in its vehicles and the A7’s chassis is built with about 30 per cent of the lightweight material contributing to lower fuel consumption and improved handling and braking. On the road there’s little to separate the performance from the two engines, the petrol was a little smoother and more refined but the diesel provided that little bit of extra grunt on long hill climbs and when overtaking, all with barely any turbo lag. Performance and road handling are what we’ve come to expect from Audi. With the added benefit of quattro all-wheel drive the car powered through sharp corners at speeds well above what we’d attempt in lesser cars. Official fuel consumption figures for the petrol A7 are 8.2 litres per 100 kilometres and for the diesel 6.0 L/100km. Naturally the Audi A7 Sportback has many of today’s leading edge technology. Among the standard features include a retractable eight-inch driver information screen that displays numerous items including the Audi multimedia interface (MMI), side assist monitoring, reversing camera, parking sensors, bluetooth interface, satellite navigation and four-mode selective driving dynamics system. The A7 TDI comes with 18-inch alloy wheels while the TFSI has 19-inch alloys as standard and 20-inch as an option.

us Dent has been servicing the Geelong area for the past nine years, offering paintless dent repair as a cost effective way of repairing vehicle dents and dings that have not cracked or chipped paintwork. Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aus Dent can get the job done right the first time with no sanding, fillers or expensive paintwork. With award-winning technicians, be assured your car is in good hands. Paintless dent removal leaves vehicles with the original finish, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no mismatched paintwork or repair marks. Paintless dent removal is also faster than conventional body shop methods and most repairs can be finished in a couple of hours. The technique is relatively new to Australia but has been used by European car manufacturers like Mercedes Benz and BMW for more than 20 years. Geelong manager Gary LeGuern says Aus Dent saves time and money. Aus Dent Geelong offers free quotes and a quality guarantee. Aus Dent is at 3/100 Barwon Terrace, South Geelong. Phone 5223 1128 or 0414 638 749 or visit the Aus Dent website at ausdent.com.au.

sport Cats’ form ‘set to continue’ GEELONG Cricket Club continued its amazing run of form last weekend, first accounting for Melbourne on Saturday before winning a semi-final of the one-day competition against Carlton on Sunday. Marc Carson was the star on Saturday with three early wickets to reduce the host to 3/35. From there, though, Melbourne threatened to wrest back control with some big partnerships. But spin twins Jeremy Hart and Luke Muller both took an important wicket each, with Geelong regaining control as Carson took a further three to finish with an outstanding 6/38 from 19 overs. On Sunday the Cats batted first to post 262 from 50 overs, Liam Buchanan top scoring with 87 from 81 balls and brother Meyrick adding 79 of his own. Geelong dismissed a brave Carlton for 231, with Jeremy Hart taking 4/38. The Cats finally has an easier match after the run of giant-killing results when they host Hawthorn Monash Uni this weekend, although coach Damian Shanahan will refuse to allow any complacency. In division one of Geelong Cricket Association it is crunch time for St Joseph’s against Geelong West at the college oval.

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE Despite having a star-studded line up, Joeys has struggled to put a run of form together, winning just one of the past four games to languish in seventh place. At least that win was last week against Leopold in a close contest. Opener Ravi Ravee top scored with 35, while Trent Walerys continued his fine season for another five wicket haul to ensure his side’s finals hopes remained alive. In contrast, Geelong West has been in fine form, falling just one wicket short of an outright victory last week against Manifold Heights. West has a bevy of stars who can stand up at any

time but St Joseph’s struggles to get enough out of its lesser lights, which will be its downfall in this match. Other selections: Manifold Heights v GROVEDALE, Lara v NORTH GEELONG, NEWTOWN & CHILWELL v Leopold, Bell Post Hill v EAST BELMONT, Highton v SOUTH BARWON With Murgheboluc and St Albans Breakwater both losing last week, Geelong City grabbed an outright win to rocket to first place in division two. City plays Thomson this weekend, with the Tigers also coming off a victory against Newcomb & District. Kent Agg and Adam Marsland continued to get the job done for City last weekend, reaching a combined haul of 60 wickets so far this season and both with a single-digit average. Graeme Beaumont provides good support with both ball and bat. Thomson has Brad Grapsas as its leading runscorer in the division with over 300, while Adrain Saltalamacchia has the most wickets for the Tigers at 15. Thomson will be confident but City will flex its muscle to remain atop the table. Other selections: TORQUAY v Guild St Mary’s, Bell Park v WAURN PONDS, Marshall v

MURGHEBOLUC, ALEXANDER THOMSON v Newcomb & District, St Peter’s v ST ALBAN’S BREAKWATER. In division three, two of the powerhouses from the past few seasons clash when Teesdale hosts Winchelsea. Winch is undefeated so far this campaign, taking all before it with some big run chases. Teesdale sits in third and, while it hasn’t dominated the division like recent seasons, it still remains a formidable opponent. Matthew Tench leads the run scoring for Winchelsea and will need to produce a big score. For Teesdale, Sam Campbell and James Wishart both have in excess of 200 runs. Teesdale rarely loses at home but this could be Winchelsea’s chance to send a message to the rest of the competition. Other selections: INVERLEIGH v Shelford, Lethbridge v MEREDITH, Little River v BANNOCKBURN, MODEWARRE v North Shore, CORIO v Corio Bay.

Strong wind blows anglers toward success at freshwater locations On the bite BRIAN LONG STRONG winds forced many anglers to seek the sheltered waters in rivers and lakes where they caught plenty of fish. Redfin dominated captures in the Barwon River. The river downstream from Ceres bridge produced reasonable numbers on bibbed minnow pattern lures but the few anglers using vibe lures enjoyed the best results on shoals of fish hugging the bottom in the bright, sunny conditions. Queen’s Park and Buckley Falls were also productive, with redfin taken in the deeper sections. Brendan Sheedy and Danny Shorten both landed fish to 1kg on Lay Down Minnows. Steven Platter caught redfin from the timber landing next to the old boat ramp at Fyans Park, where minnow pattern lures again did the trick. Carp averaging better than 4kg were also taken from Fyans Park. Unweighted baits of bread or corn provided some fantastic fun for Terry and Shane Wilkinson who landed 12 fish in a hot two-hour session on Monday morning. The hot conditions fired up Wurdee Boluc Reservoir, with trout, redfin and roach succumbing to a variety of methods. Lures have been generally best, although evenings have provided the better fishing. Deep Lake also fished well in the evenings. Lures returned the best results, with bait anglers finding live minnow or mudeye useful. Considering the activity just on dark, the lack of

Mud runner: Adan Van der Lugt with a typical carp from the Baron River at Fyans Park. fly anglers has been surprising. Damsel nymphs or emergers would be the fly patterns to choose. The bream fishing was difficult for the latest Australian BT series event at Glenelg, but the top anglers still returned with nice bags of fish for weighing and release. Dylan Pace and Matt Alsop attended just to watch but still landed nice bream along with some outstanding estuary perch to 43cm.

Some saltwater anglers overcame the blustery conditions for quality captures, none better than Joel Scott’s three snapper from Corio Bay’s inner-harbour. All Joel’s fish were better than 4kg and taken just after dark out from North Shore rocks on pilchard. Outer-harbour anglers also found quality snapper, with the southern end of Wilson Spit consistent for snapper averaging 1.5kg but reaching 5.3kg.

Soft plastics anglers struggled with fast drifting but Burnie Welsh used a sea anchor on the outerharbour spoil grounds to catch any number of snapper to 2kg along with some nice flathead and a pike over 1m. Garry Holmes also used soft plastics while working Geelong’s waterfront where flathead dominated captures. However, Garry’s personal best snapper, a 58cm specimen, was his real prize. St Helens produced plenty of small snapper, although patient anglers managed the odd quality fish of close to 1kg. Anglers fishing the rocks at North Shore fared better, taking snapper to 2.5kg landed on bluebait. All the best fish were caught after dark. The same location also accounted for a number of bite-offs from what seemed like a bigger fish. The culprit might have been caught late Monday night when Shaun McIntyre landed a seven gill shark of around 1.6m before releasing it after a few photos. Trevally were taken from Queenscliff’s cut on soft plastics such as Turtleback worms and curl-tail grubs. The fish seemed to be holding hard and tight against the moorings or pylons. Salmon remained a prime target at Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff. Anglers fishing from the beach late in the afternoon and up until dark with small, metal, baitfish-profile lures too fish reaching 2kg. Settling surf conditions should allow worthwhile angling for small snapper at Black Rock in the evenings, with big whiting also available. The Barwon River in Geelong should be this weekend’s best option, with bibbed lures sure to tempt plenty of redfin. Saltwater anglers should look to either the Wilson Spit area during the evening high tides with pilchard or fresh squid. Soft plastics anglers should work the deeper end of the Leopold spoil grounds with fourinch plastics for small to average snapper, flathead and big pike.
