Tasers spark fear for Geelong teens BY ERIN PEARSON ARMING Geelong police with Taser stun guns could be fatal for teenagers, a legal service has warned. Smart Justice for Young People’s Tiffany Overall said she was concerned police would use their new weapons to “unfairly” target youths. Young people already felt “over-policed”, she said. “Tasers will cost more than just Victoria Police’s reputation,” Ms Overall warned.

“Our concern is that the Taser is going to become a first-option for police in the way that capsicum spray has become a tool of compliance. “We hear many cases of young people being sprayed when they pose no physical threat to police and we fear that Tasers will be used in the same way.” Victoria Police this week revealed it would arm Geelong and Ballarat officers with 30 stun guns this year during the first phase of a statewide roll out.

The Tasers green light followed a 12-month trial of the devices in Bendigo and Morwell. Geelong Superintendent Paul Pottage said all of Geelong’s 100 uniform and highway patrol police would receive three days of extensive training before receiving Tasers. Often just raising Tasers was enough to prompt offenders to comply, Supt Pottage said. “We haven’t had shootings down here for a long time and hope that remains a permanent

situation but it’s not guaranteed, so Tasers certainly give us another option. “Statistics consistently show we have higher levels of violent interaction with people. “I know some people have concerns but the trials at Morwell and Bendigo demonstrated clearly that with the proper training Tasers don’t end up being used all that often.” Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Kieran Walshe said strict protocols would guide

the use of Tasers. All Taser use would be closely monitored and video-recorded, he said. “Geelong and Ballarat were determined as priority areas because our data tells us that police in those areas attend a significant number of jobs where weapons are used against police. “There’s a high reporting of (capsicum spray) use and frequent dealings with people who have mental health disorders or who are affected by substance abuse.”

WRITE STUFF FOR GEELONG

A LOCAL youth health awareness program aims to reach more than 2000 young sportspeople this year. Read the Play’s organising committee said the program could also be extended nationally. The program runs in football and netball clubs throughout the Geelong region. Geelong ruckman Nathan Vardy helped launch the seventh annual Read the Play season as a replacement ambassador for retired Cat Brad Ottens. The program has appointed former Geelong Cats president Frank Costa as patron. “It is essential to improve mental health awareness and encourage helpseeking behaviour, to enable early intervention and treatment,” Mr Costa said. “If Read the Play helps just one of our young people to do this then we have succeeded.” Vardy, who has been battling a longterm hip injury, said he had gone through the program himself. “Read the Play is an important and valuable health program that’s making a difference in our young people’s lives”, he said. “It’s okay to ask for help and a true mate will always ask whether their mates are okay. “The first step to recovery is actually having the courage to seek help.” Netball star Eloise Southby-Halbish, who helped launch the program, said mental illness was common among young people. “It’s less scary to talk about it if you’re not alone,” she said.

Playtime: Andy Richards. and variety of play spaces would improve under the strategy. Acting Mayor Cameron Granger said the strategy would promote play as an essential part

of children’s development, health, wellbeing and social interaction. “The play strategy will ensure there is an equitable distribution of quality playgrounds across the municipality,” Cr Granger said. “It will enable Council to identify gaps in the current playground provision and to address (them).” Cr Granger said council would assume increased responsibility for maintenance and upgrades of play spaces. City of Greater Geelong has one of Victoria’s largest stocks of children’s play spaces. The municipality has 276 play spaces and 62 supervised early childhood outdoor areas.

AUSTRALIAN Safety Standards have “sanitised” Geelong’s playgrounds, according to a councillor. Andy Richards said council playground upgrades during the past 10 years had focussed on safety compliance. “While this has been necessary for safety reasons, the outcome has been a sanitisation of playgrounds,” he said. “(This has led) to a similar play experience being offered at play spaces throughout the municipality.” Geelong council announced a Geelong play strategy to provide fun and challenging outdoor spaces for children. Cr Richards said the quality

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A LONG-SERVING Geelong building supplies company has gone into liquidation with debts of $1.5 million. Shareholders Leigh and Nigel Robinson voted to wind up JS Robinson during an extraordinary general meeting last week. Australian Securities and Investments Commission documents revealed the business had debts of $1,536,385. Rod Slattery, of PPB Advisory, has been appointed as liquidator. The liquidation follows a letter to suppliers last month from chief executive officer Leigh Robinson and director Theresa Robinson. The letter said the company was “in the process of another change” after the resignation of

Nigel Robinson as a director in October. The letter said Nigel Robinson ceased employment on December 1 but remained a stakeholder. “Negotiations are occurring with respect to the acquisition of Nigel’s stakeholding in the business,” the letter said. “The future for Robinsons is extremely promising with inhouse changes and new staff to enhance the growth we have been waiting for.” But Mr Slattery said the business had been “wound down” with a number of staff terminations prior to Christmas. “I understand the business had cut back and was down to two staff besides the family.” Mr Slattery said a meeting of

creditors would outline the course of events leading to the appointment of liquidators and the likely financial outcome. The 66-year-old business began in Pakington St, Geelong West, before relocating to its existing premises in Victoria St, North Geelong. The business added a new venture, Wardrobe Works, aimed at an on-line self-service market for builders and renovators. JS Robinson supplied laminates, panel board, doors and kitchen cabinet hardware to the building and retail trade. The liquidation follows the collapse of Geelong builder Blue Cove Homes earlier this month, leaving more than 100 businesses owed more than $1.1 million.

Two projects to house students in city centre BY MICHELLE HERBISON TWO PLANS promise more than 80 student apartments to lead a revival of central Geelong. Civic leaders have welcomed the proposals for Malop and Corio Sts. Property owner Denis More revealed to the Independent plans for a student and first-home-buyer development of five townhouses and 70 one or two-bedroom apartments in Corio St. Mr More believed Geelong had demand for student-specific accommodation. His architect, Stewart Handasyde, said the project was aimed at a new market for higher density living in central Geelong. “Earlier apartments (in Geelong)

were too big,” Mr Handasyde said. “A 12-square apartment with three bedrooms? You might as well buy a house. “Geelong’s reinventing itself. It’s becoming like Europe’s university cities.” Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) this week made recommendations for Bozkurt Property Developments to build a three-storey facility to house students at 32 Malop St. The initial plans showed 12 apartments, shared bathrooms, a shop and a waiver of car parking requirements. VCAT recommended deleting two bedrooms from the plans due to a neighbour’s complaints.

The Independent reported last month that Deakin University would relocate 1200 business and law students to its Waterfront campus this year. Committee for Geelong chairman Michael Betts said the city should embrace the move to accommodating students. “The central city needs people and we should be prepared to embrace that any way we can. Students are a part of that.” Mr Betts supported council waiving car parking requirements for student accommodation, suggesting they could instead rely on public transport. “There absolutely needs to be a different mindset around planning regulations that were put into place 20 to 30

years ago and are probably out of touch.” Councillor Rod Macdonald said council hoped Geelong’s inner-city population would eventually increase more than three times to about 10,000 “depending on the market”. “Having people in the city at all times of the day and night would bring it alive and offer opportunities for new businesses to set up.” Cr Macdonald said Geelong should follow the “worldwide trend” of waiving car parking requirements for some inner-city buildings. “At the moment there’s no room to put car parking in, so a waiver offers the opportunity for students to be accommodated.”

Cards from MPs waste of money, says birthday boy

Egg-citing news “GROUNDBREAKING” Geelong research could lead to the development of allergy-free eggs, according to Deakin University. A university spokesperson said Deakin researchers had teamed with CSIRO staff in Geelong and a poultry research centre to work on a project that could help children overcome their anaphylactic allergies to egg whites.

Battle won A GEELONG group has won the grand final of one of Victoria’s most-prestigious battle of the bands competitions, Youth Affairs Minister Ryan Smith has announced. Mr Smith said Altitude won the 2011/2012 FreeZA Push Start title to follow in the steps of previous winners such as Killing Heidi, Airborne and The Vaso Era.

Aborigines plan GEELONG’S council is developing an action plan on Aboriginal health issues, according to councillor Eddy Kontelj. He said council could investigate ways of improving Aboriginal health in the region, including a review of “employment opportunities”.

Erratic Magna A MAGNA was driven so “erratically” on the way to Birregurra last Friday it forced another sedan off Cape Otway Rd, according to Police. A Victoria Police spokesperson said investigators were seeking witnesses after fielding a “number of reports” about the Magna last Friday afternoon.

Pain trial GEELONG will participate in a trial of whether acupuncture can help ease chronic pain, a Melbourne university has announced. RMIT said had funding from National Health and Medical Research Council to investigate whether acupuncture could reduce use of opioid medications among pain sufferers.

Housing figures GEELONG house prices are up slightly on last year but sales are down 26 per cent, according to a real estate chain’s research. PRDnationwide said values had increased 1.3 per cent in the six months to September but sales were at their lowest level in 10 years.

Birthday greasings: Andrew Podolak with his offending birthday cards.

BY ERIN PEARSON MOST people relish the delivery of a birthday card straight to their letterbox. But Lara’s Andrew Podolak slammed his Geelong MPs, Richard Marles and John Eren, for sending him two “expensive” birthday cards this week. Mr Podolak called the cards a blatant waste of public money, demanding the MPs immediately cease taxpayerfunded birthday greetings. “The money should be spent on improving the city, helping the homeless or on education but instead it’s being wasted on expensive cards. “A homeless shelter could be built for the price of all these cards and house hundreds of people in need.” “Shame, shame, shame. They should use common sense and spend the money where it’s needed and not waste our public money.” Mr Podolak said the cards were the first he had received from the MPs since moving to Lara seven years ago. Mr Marles defended his gesture of goodwill and its “very small” cost. The cards only went to constituents on significant birthdays, such as 50-year milestones. “The vast majority of the feedback we get is a sense of gratitude about having being acknowledged. I think it’s a good thing to acknowledge a special day in people’s lives,” Mr Marles said. “To have that acknowledgement from a local member of parliament is a nice thing.

War stories lead to Anzac trip award for Zahn City ‘hot spot’ for house fires BY ERIN PEARSON IT ALL began with a fascination for war heroes. Now Belmont High School student Zahn Gane is preparing for a dream holiday after winning a coveted Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize. The award, for demonstrating the meaning of the Anzac spIrit to entrants, will send 10 winners on a study tour of military sites in Gallipoli, Malaysia and Singapore. Zahn said his prize was a “dream come true”. “I’ve always been interested in military history and I also do air force cadets, so when I saw the award in the school newsletter I thought it would be a great opportunity. “I became friends with World War II veteran Ern Brough, from Belmont, who fought in Egypt at Tobruk. He told me all his

stories off mateship. “It just opened my eyes and grew my interest even more.” Zahn credited his school principal, Gary Schultz, with helping him complete his application over five months. He also faced opinions that any interest in war history was “a bit nerdy”. “But the mateship and generosity shown in war is still relevant today, so it kept my interest alive,” Zahn said. Zahn’s mother, Helen, was proud of her son’s accomplishment. “He even worked at Newtown Farmers” Market selling chook poo to fund his wartime collection,” she laughed. “A lot of kids these days say the war means nothing to them but kids need to remember the war and how it shaped our past.”

GEELONG’S ranking as second for Victorian house fires in 2011 has prompted a warning to change smoke alarm batteries. CFA released figures this week showing 124 house fires in City of Greater Geelong for 2011. Surf Coast Shire had 10 house fires, Borough of Queenscliffe four and Golden Plains Shire two. Melbourne’s City of Casey had the most house fires in the state at 136. Only two other municipalities scored in three figures. CFA deputy chief officer Alan Ellis urged residents to use the end of daylight saving on April 1 as a date for checking smoke alarms. “It only takes 10 minutes to check your smoke alarm batteries and not much longer to talk with your family about what they would do if there was a fire,” Mr Ellis said. “In the same time it takes to cook a piece of toast a spark can become a life-threatening blaze, so it’s critical for Victorian households to know and be able to implement their home fire escape plan quickly and confidently.” Mr Ellis said residents without working smoke alarms were four times more likely to die in house fires. They were also 25 per cent more likely to suffer serious injury and their risk of property loss or damage increased 57 per cent, he said.

‘Review’ targets indoor sport was using City of Greater Geelong indoor sports facilities. “There’s no doubt people from Surf Coast Shire and Golden Plains, for instance, come in and use our facilities,” he said. Cr Granger attributed the new residents across the region to increased demand for indoor recreation as well as the growing popularity of sport in general.

The review would conduct an audit of public as well as private indoor sports facilities across the region, he said. “We don’t want to be doubling up because there may also be facilities in neighbouring councils that Geelong residents can use. “The first step in catering to this growth is to review the current facilities in the region and

develop a strategy for the future.” Cr Granger said the review would go toward a Geelong indoor recreation facilities strategy guiding developments for the next 20 years. “Indoor sports are much more a part of the sporting mix these days,” he said. “They’re a great way for people of all ages to maintain their fitness

and wellbeing and are especially popular for working people who wish to exercise after hours.” City of Greater Geelong operates four centres, Geelong Arena, Leisuretime Centre, Barwon Valley Activity Centre and Bellarine Aquatic and Sports Centre. Cr Granger said the City was working with the departments of

Sustainability and Environment and Education and Early Childhood Development as well as Deakin University, Barwon Sports Academy and other sport clubs and associations. A draft of the strategy was scheduled for completion to be available for community comment around the middle of the year, he said.

“It’s a soft-release spot where the animals can be watched and checked up on for a week to make sure they’re not struggling.” Mr Burrell said the shelter had been involved in the development of the wildlife area of the range from the beginning. “The animals are free to leave there and go wherever they want to go. All our releases there have been successful.” Eagle Park manager Paul Schefferle said the long-standing arrangement was part of the range’s environmental efforts. “Our members are involved in conservation because they understand the relationship with the land,” he said. “It’s a moving experience to see people who have spent hours and hours with these animals release them back into the wild.

“It’s like seeing a mother let go of her child but the work they do behind the scenes is phenomenal.” Mr Burrell said the shelter had assisted more than 30,000 animals over the years. “It’s a happy-sad day because you do become attached, even though we’re professional. “They would have died without our intervention, including one of the eastern greys found caught in a fence upside down. “She was borderline. The vets had to decide whether to euthanize her or operate. “She was in a porta cot for a month recuperating but she’s come through and now she’s ready to go with the rest of them.” Mr Burrell said anyone finding injured wildlife could call the shelter on 0409 002 258.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A LITTLE River shooting range has successfully become an unlikely venue for returning native animals to the wild. Leopold Wildlife Shelter arrived at Eagle Park shooting range again this week to release four eastern grey kangaroos, four possums and a swamp wallaby after nursing them since birth. The shelter has an arrangement with Sporting Shooters Association of Australia to use the range. The shelter’s Dave Burrell and wife Helen have run the shelter for almost 30 years, rescuing 1500 animals annually. “It’s fantastic to have somewhere like Eagle Park to have a safe and controlled release of the animals,” Mr Burrell said.

TORQUAY and Lorne are among targets of an influx of 300,000 Victorians set to “love the coast to death”, Victorian Coastal Council has warned. But the same visitors considering moving to the coast wanted its character maintained. A market research report on coastal management said visitors considered climate change and sea level rise posed a threat. But they failed to understand the full implications of a onemetre rise in sea levels, the report said. Visitors agreed coastal planning laws should limit development in areas where rising seas were likely to have an impact. The report said a majority was concerned coastal towns were

focused on the iconic features of the coastline,” the report said. The iconic features included the Great Ocean Road, Twelve Apostles, Phillip Island and its penguins. Lorne, Torquay and Apollo Bay were among the top five most-frequently-visited coastal destinations. Coastal council interim chair Janet Bolitho said the research confirmed Victorians shared the Australian reputation as a beachloving nation. Ms Bolitho said the sea change phenomenon “does not look like stopping any time soon”. “This is all great news in terms of our lifestyles but also highlights the need to manage our coast so that it is not loved to death.”

increasingly like ordinary Australian suburbs. The Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise were cited as examples of inappropriate coastal development. Half the visitors said they doubted government planning and building guidelines sufficiently protected Victorian coastal towns’ characters. Visitors had “mixed feelings regarding how to best accommodate increased demand for housing along Victoria’s coastline”. The report said some preferred outward expansion as long as it was inland. Others preferred higher density as long as it remained low-rise. “Top-of-mind associations with the Victorian coast are usually

A FRIEND’S chance encounter during a school excursion has reunited a Lara family with its long-lost cat. Geelong Animal Welfare Society’s Belinda Davis said Chloe was now back with the family after three months lost. “We had a school bus come through and one of the girls recognised the cat,” Ms Russo said. “No one else had looked at it twice.” Ms Russo said the family later arrived at the pound to see whether the cat really was Chloe. “They said its name and it came running out and jumped into their arms. “It hadn’t been responsive to anybody before that.”

Serve of funding for regional review

Tennis ‘shake-up’ BY MICHELLE HERBISON A NEW study is set to shake up tennis facilities throughout the Barwon region, according to a council boss Borough of Queenscliffe chief executive officer Lenny Jenner said the review could prompt closures or revivals of facilities. The borough secured $50,000 State Government funding last week to review tennis facilities in the region’s five

municipalities. The funding will add to a Tennis Australia contribution of $25,000 toward the study, announced last year. Mr Jenner said many tennis courts throughout the region had “gone into a state of disrepair”. “Some haven’t been used for possibly 10 years.” Mr Jenner said many smaller towns could benefit from better shared facilities in a central location rather than “maintain a low standard in lots of areas”.

He suggested the study could lead to closure of courts in his own borough at Queenscliff’s bowls club and primary school. “The borough’s got fantastic facilities at Point Lonsdale. This would happen in each of the local government areas.” Geelong Lawn Tennis Club general manager Ken Barton said the review would result in a plan “everyone understands”. “In the past decisions were made often with no real plan in place. This is a really positive

step to drive the growth of the sport in the future,” he said. Mr Barton said a recent Davis Cup tie in Geelong had boosted the community’s interest in tennis. Tennis Australia predicts that in the next 15 years the sport’s club memberships will grow 700 per cent in City of Greater Geelong, 400 in Golden Plains Shire and Borough of Queenscliffe and 300 in Surf Coast Shire and Colac Otway Shire.

Suzanne sees silver side of fallen Queenscliff moonahs

BY MICHELLE HERBISON A TRIBUTE in silver to Queenscliffe’s moonah trees is jewellery maker Suzanne Cronin’s focus. Her work features replicas of moonah seed pods in what she describes as an emotional response to a history of controversy surrounding Borough of Queenscliffe moonahs. Ms Cronin has spent the past year making a range of jewellery from silver-caste replicas of two seed pods, one from Queenscliff’s Victoria Park and one from Point Lonsdale. She was inspired after learning of the planned felling of moonahs in Victoria Park. The Independent reported in June that the borough chopped down three moonahs despite a group of residents rallying to save them. Ms Cronin collected a seed pod during a trip with an arts group.

The pod sat on her mantel until she completed a silver smithing workshop. “I thought it would look beautiful in silver, which was my way of preserving its beauty,” Ms Cronin said. Seeing colour-coded plastic ribbons attached to the moonahs provoked her artwork. “Seeing Victoria Park in 2009 full of bright plastic ribbons on the trees was a surreal experience. It just looked odd. “Each plastic ribbon was a timeline for tree maintenance, which included some felling.” Ms Cronin incorporated the plastic colour-codes using latex and resin as a feature in some of her pieces. “The hand of man is present in these beautiful organic silver cast seed pieces and in a way this is my tribute to the people who fought against unnecessary felling.”

Young to help restore bandicoots YOUNG people with disabilities and troubled backgrounds will join forces to create a new home for endangered bandicoots at Lara, according to Parks Victoria. The departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team leader for Serendip Sanctuary, Matt Wills, said the participants in a new Green Pathways program would learn skills help the reintroduction of eastern barred bandicoots. Works would include maintaining animal enclosures, monitoring, fence repairs and controlling pests threatening breeding programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One important thing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing is replanting local native grasses in areas where the bandicoots are going to be released,â&#x20AC;? Mr Wills said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their long-term survival is closely timed to having the right plans for their food, nesting and protection.â&#x20AC;? Mr Wills said the 12 volunteer participants would work on the program one day a week for six months.

Beaches to be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;renourishedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

$800K â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sand tenders for Portarlington and Clifton Springs. Each beach would receive about 15,000 tonnes of sand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sand is normally sourced from a quarry through a strict tender process,â&#x20AC;? the spokesperson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The successful contractor is required to ensure the sand is free of any contaminants and meets the grain size specification nominated in the tender.â&#x20AC;? The Government expected the renourishments to last up to 15 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This can vary depending on extreme weather,â&#x20AC;? the spokesperson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wind and waves constantly move sand on Port Phillip Bay beaches as part of the natural dynamic coastal environment.â&#x20AC;? The spokesperson said Department of Sustainability and Environment was also consider-

ing developing a rock seawall at Clifton Springs. Bellarine MP Lisa Neville welcomed the announcement despite the project taking â&#x20AC;&#x153;longer than the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wantedâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The funding seems to be able to deliver the beach renourishment program.â&#x20AC;? Ms Neville urged the Government to â&#x20AC;&#x153;fast-trackâ&#x20AC;? St Leonards, listed for renourishment within four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope it can happen within the next financial year.â&#x20AC;? Geelong Environment Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joan Lindros said the project should identify why the beaches were washing away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There must be some reason like a construction or changes to the flow in the water. It would be good if we could know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s causing it and try and deal with the situation that way.â&#x20AC;?

BY MICHELLE HERBISON A RENOURISHMENT project will spend $800,000 dumping new sand on two Bellarine Peninsula beaches, State Government has announced. The Government said $500,000 would go toward a Portarlington renourishment and $300,000 to Clifton Springs as part of a $2.294 million project to restore four bayside beaches this year. The announcement followed an Independent report last year that renourishment projects at Clifton Springs and Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastern Beach were on hold and Portarlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s would begin last July. In October Environment Minister Ryan Smith halted a Port Phillip Bay renourishment project amid complaints its red quarry sand was incompatible with the beach.

Geelong Writers recently published its first literary journal, Azuria, featuring the works of local and international writers. Members enjoy a regular Thursday night social gathering at Elephant and Castle Hotel where

a relaxed atmosphere helps new writers gain confidence. “This region is a good place to write for many, particularly writers who prefer quiet to metropolitan bustle,” Ted said. “The group holds a number of public readings. Poets have always read their work. “It’s a social setting and changes the dynamic of writing, it becomes a performance. It also gives the writer quick feedback. “We often combine reading with music or even dance and it provides another outlet for writers.” Ted said more information about the group was available at visit geelongwriters.com.

WRITING is often considered a solitary affair, with images of the beleaguered author single-handedly facing the challenge of the blank page. Similarly, a reader is often part of a private one-on-one with the author through the medium of the written word. But a group of local enthusiast sknows of ways to overcome any fears of facing the challenge and beating writer’s block. Geelong Writers is proof that the work of the wordsmith can occur in unison and that public readings can be liberating. President Ted Reilly said Geelong was home to a wide array of writers, from beginners to emerging authors and seasoned professionals. “We formed to provide support for writers and to promote writing and literature in the region,” Ted said. “Geelong Writers is a community writing group outside the academic world because there are no other easily accessible writing courses in the area now. “We also find there are people who see writing as a form of therapy and it helps to actualise their experiences.” Ted said the group ran a number of development workshops such as tips on increasing vocabulary, personal and romance writing and radio drama. “The group has become a

letters Wise with water

Alternatives ready EA CROSS (Letters 9/3) said “using our own coal and gas are the best options unless and until something else can be invented”. There is no need to wait for new inventions and new technologies. Solar thermal power with storage, using large mirrors to focus the Sun’s rays on molten salt, is already proving a cost-effective renewable baseload power option in Spain. Solar cells on household roofs are already helping keep all bills down by providing extra capacity during days of extreme weather and electricity-demand. The cost of wind power is steadily decreasing and reaching parity with dirty fossil fuels. EA Cross asserted there is no essential difference between wind, sunshine, coal and gas: “Wind is free, sunshine is free, coal is free and so is gas”. Unfortunately, coal and gas do have a cost: the carbon dioxide they produce exacerbates global warming and the consequent extreme weather events we are experiencing. Current floods are labelled “one-in-100year events” but so were last year’s floods. It’s time to harness the renewable resources we have around Geelong to create green jobs and a sustainable future. Dave Campbell Hamlyn Heights

Priorities: Fund public dental health instead of fluoridation, a reader says.

Funding fluoride DAVID McRae inspired an interesting thought (Letters, March 9). I also wondered about the megabillions of dollars being spent on manufacturing fluoride, buying it, building special facilities to house it and utilising special equipment to handle it and special trucks to deliver it all for the sake of saving a few people’s teeth while causing others extreme discomfort. All these dollars could have been the funding needed to establish dental care for all. Sandra Camm Highton

Left turn to economic suicide

WITH the loss of MTR we have returned to the bland, boring radio landscape we have endured for quite a long time. In our area radio has become quite uninspiring, particularly in the afternoon when my radio is now turned off. During other times I find Melbourne radio quite trite and not thought provoking. Rather than going after hard issues, that many presenters take the emotional path of endeavouring to raise money for needy causes or promoting such issues at the drop of the emotional hat. Could they be hoping for an award at year’s end? The verbal diatribe from politicians spins around a political issue that needs to be discussed openly and truthfully. MTR should have been more successful because its presenters at least had a go at the real issues. We don’t get-up-to-date information on boat arrivals at Christmas Island, instead we have to put up with the egos of presenters gleefully talking about a big ship’s arrival in Melbourne and how the presenter saved the world from some catastrophe.

News from Shell

Hell of a comment

Costing ratepayers WHAT was the total cost of the bores, seven of them, I think, set up in the Anglesea area but now under review? Who paid for the bores, pumps, power and pipes et cetera as well as the cost of pumping the water all the way to Wurdee Boluc Reservoir, about 30km away? We did, of course. Did this project’s experts get a kick in the pants for the apparent failure? One of the ways to help solve our water needs would be to pump piped water from Gellibrand River, the bulk of which goes out to sea, into a bigger storage basin then pipe it to Geelong, avoiding the evaporation problems of the open channel and Wurdee Boluc Reservoir. Both lose about 20 per cent of their water a year. Better still, water could be pumped from Aire River, which all goes to sea, over to West Barwon Reservoir, less than half the distance of the Anglesea-Wurdee Boluc line. Cliff Winkler Torquay

One-size governing AS OUR Federal Government teeters toward self destruction it’s worth considering we revisit the idea of changing our Westminster system of government, which is over 300 years old and past its use-by date. By abolishing state government and linking local and central governments we could save a fortune in administrative and financial overloading as well as have true standardisation throughout Australia. Our primitive tax structure could be rewritten to make a one-size-fits-all package in a win-win for everybody. Steve Joseph Norlane

IN A National Press Club meeting for International Women’s Day in Canberra last week, information relating to “empowerment of women and gender equality” was presented in the form of a panel discussion of four ladies, including two senators. A reference was made to a speculative suggestion that “there is a special place in Hell for women who do not help other women”. Such a suggestion might appear to be a wish of feminist leaders, a policy platform of a political party or a trivialisation of community efforts to promote equality between the sexes. In any case, it most certainly appeared to be an inappropriate comment during a public occasion in recognition of women’s place on the wider community. Marion Jones Drysdale

Men as unequals INTERNATIONAL Women’s Day was celebrated last week but I’ll believe gender equality has finally arrived when politicians address chronic high levels of male suicide and male homelessness and record high levels of male unemployment and underemployment. These problems stem from the underrepresentation of males at our tertiary institutions and the under-performance of boys in education. Equality of opportunity does not mean equal outcomes, nor should it mean that. Over the past three decades women have taken two million jobs away from men. It’s time modern feminism took off its blinkers and campaigned for genuine equality for both sexes. Alan Barron Grovedale

Shell has announced a three-year sponsorship of the Committee for Geelong Barwon Community Leaders programme. Pictured are the 2012 programme participants at the recent launch event.

SHELL SUPPORTS COMMUNITY LEADERS Shell is pleased to announce its sponsorship of the Committee for Geelong Barwon Community Leaders (BCL) programme. This unique programme is aimed at enhancing and developing the leadership capacity of residents in Geelong’s underprivileged communities. Shell’s sponsorship will provide additional skills-based training to supplement core modules. These sessions will cover a variety of topics including governance and ﬁnance training, as well as a variety of personal development courses. Speaking at the launch of the 2012 participant intake, the reﬁnery’s General Manager, Mark Schubert, said he strongly believed in the programme’s aim and vision. “The strength of the Barwon Community Leaders programme is that it builds the capacity of residents, helping them grow and develop into leaders and empowering them as individuals to help create a vibrant community,” said Mark. “Some people may have leadership qualities but true leadership isn’t about genetics or your socio-economic background. Leaders are made. And they’re made by receiving the right training, guidance and the opportunity to apply this knowledge,” he said.

GREG BARBER MP made several inaccurate claims in last week’s Independent, including that Barwon Water has a “lazy approach to water management”. I am unsure precisely what he meant but Barwon Water is and always will be totally committed to sustainable water management. His assertion the Dewing Creek weir reinstatement will stress the Barwon River and reduce flows to “a trickle” was wrong. Water will only be diverted when environmental flows are above a required level, most likely after significant rainfall. The project is expected to add 600ML to Geelong’s supply. To put this into context, consumption in greater Geelong last week was 554ML. Further, Mr Barber suggested curbing demand was a better option. Barwon Water has acknowledged and congratulated customers numerous times for demonstrating outstanding commitment to water conservation. Through their efforts water use has dropped dramatically. For example, regional demand topped 40,000ML in the early 1980s when the population was about 163,000. Last year consumption was around 28,000ML, with the region supporting 285,000 residents. These savings have and continue to be supported by Victorian Government rebates for water efficient products including rainwater tanks, showerheads, greywater systems and washing machines. Mr Barber called on Barwon Water to devise a sustainable water strategy around stormwater capture and water reuse. The corporation recently released a draft water supply demand strategy, a 50-year plan balancing supply and customer demand. The strategy addresses the very issues to which Mr Barber referred.

Library stocks up on classic music

Furry friends funded BY ERIN PEARSON NEWTOWN photographer Jay Benger felt like two worlds collided while reading the Independent in July. A story about fire devastating a Barwon Heads animal sanctuary shocked the wildlife and nature photographer into action. She rallied the troops for an art exhibition to raise funds for Jirrahlinga to rebuild its koala hospital. Seven months later Ms Benger is ready to launch the gallery presentation next month. She vowed to donate all funds from the sale of the exhibition’s artworks to Jirrahlinga. “I saw the article in the paper and thought the incident was horrendous,” she said. “When I read what happened it completely broke my heart. I couldn’t just sit back and not help.” Ms Benger said Jirrahlinga was one of the first places she visited in Australia after arriving from England before settling in Geelong. “I’ve been there many times since and knew they really needed some help after the fire,” she said. “The fundraiser started off as just an exhibition of my works but has now grown to house seven artists so we can give as much as we can.

Activities

CLASSICAL music enthusiasts can get in the mood for Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s (MSO) next Geelong show with a new library initiative, according to a councillor. Andy Richards said Geelong Regional Library Corporation had bought the world’s largest online classical music database as well as CDs of the music to feature in this year’s MSO performance. Cr Richards, the library cor-

HIRE

poration chair, said the MSO would play a series of five concerts at Geelong’s Costa Hall from March 23. “To get the most out of any concert it’s great to be familiar with the music before you attend and also to be able to relive the experience afterwards,” he said. “To help with this we’ve committed to buying all the music that will be played by MSO in Geelong this year for our collection to make it available to all

library members. “There are two ways people can do this: either by borrowing the CDs or by streaming via their internet connection the thousands of tracks on offer from Naxos Music Library, our newest online music database available from our Online Collections on the library website.” Cr Richards said Naxos Music Library offered free streaming access to more than 52,677 CDs and 756,740 tracks.

“There will be photography, paintings, sculptures, print making and drawings available on the night.” Ms Benger said wildlife was often an inspiration for photographers. “Australia is such a beautiful canvas, so there’s almost on obligation to capture the world the way it is because it’s always changing. “For me the natural world is the most breathtaking thing.” Ms Benger asked arts patrons to attend the exhibition. “Come down and see what we have put together.” The exhibition will be from from April 5 to 30 at Karingallery, James St, Geelong.

The 2003 is a ‘wow’ shiraz BY STEVE NAJDA, NAJDA’S CELLARBRATIONS he Palandri Shiraz 2003 vintage stands up to some of the best shiraz’ ever produced in this country for a tenth of the price. This iconic, bold red has blackberry fruits and spicy pepper flavours with a bit of vanilla character. Get together with a few friends to sip this wine and enjoy the flavours with a bit of antipasto, steak, lamb or pizza. You need some kind of heavy food to complement such a bold, heavy shiraz, which is definitely

one of the best reds I’ve come across in about five years. I think anyone will find the Palandri Shiraz 2003 is really something that jumps out at you and says ‘wow’. This sensational wine was definitely made for cellaring and after nine years it’s perfect to drink now. As the years go by it’ll probably still get that little bit better until 2020. I’d rate it at a minimum of $100 a bottle but at Najda’s Cellarbrations we’re selling it for $34.99. I’ve had bottles of red I’ve drunk that cost between $200 and

$300 that don’t even come close to this wine. I would have to say that 2003 definitely produced a super vintage at Margaret River. Palandri’s 2004 merlot is the same price and is one of the best merlots going around at the moment. Anybody who wants to taste the 2003 shiraz can just come down and ask me at Najda’s Cellarbrations, 220 Anakie Rd, North Geelong, next to Fagg’s Mitre 10. We’re open 9am to 8pm Monday to Wednesday, 9am to 9pm Thursday to Saturday and 10am to 8pm Sunday.

The menace of the Daleks from Doctor Who comes home in the form of this awesome 9” plush talking toy from Popcultcha!

Exterminate!

GAMING: Offroad is coming to SEN and XBLA In Jeremy McGraths Offroad, players race four-wheeled, 800-horsepower off-road race trucks with tons of options including a host of tracks, single-player and multiplayer modes as well as a wide loadout of vehicle classes including Rally Cars, Pro Buggies and Pro Lite Trucks, all in a crispy 1080p, 60 frames per second presentation. With multiplayer support for eight racers and a full career mode that follows Jeremy’s bid for the Pro2 championship within the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, Jeremy McGraths Offroad will be THE title for racing fans who want to get down and dirty on the track.

WHAT’S HOT Daleks:

Don’t let the soft exterior fool you, this Dalek wants to “exterminate” anything in its path! With authentic sound files, this toy is yet another cool reminder of why Doctor Who has survived all these years. Only $29.99 from Popcultcha!

Many smartphones can be set up as remotes that are capable of telling your computer (or another device) to start playing music or video. This is great because you or a guest can just pick up the smartphone, choose some music and start listening. It’s especially nice at a party. Some downloadable apps can even control your television and other home theatre gear if your smartphone can send an infrared (IR) signal. Source: www.lifehacker.com.au

NEWS FEED

APPS: Cut the Rope Cut the Rope is a superb app for both the Android and the iPhone and has massive user response from both the free users of the ad enabled version as well as the paid version. It appears to be becoming less rare for an app to go into the mega-amount sales bracket as more developers create fun and lively games targeted at the kid in all of us. The game is just as simple as Angry Birds, has very clean and colorful graphics and entertaining music. This may very well be the exact combination that developers need to stick to until the public becomes over saturated with the formulaic process. www.appsnews.org The Independent, Friday March 16, 2012

All that Jazz BY ERIC BLAIR onda’s smallest Australian model, Jazz, has been on sale for almost a decade and during that time has built up an excellent reputation for build quality and trouble free running. The latest Jazz, a facelift of the 2008 model rather than all-new, was released here in mid-2011. The most noticeable change is a new-look radiator grille that gives it the sporty mesh look that’s very much the flavour of the month. The taillights get the bright look of LED, something that not only changes the car’s appearance, but also adds slightly to the safety of the car as these lights come on a fraction sooner than conventional units and may just prevent a tailgater from crashing. The higher-specced VTi and VTi-S models get new sporty bumpers, side skirts, a new gunmetal grey grille and alloy wheels, while the VTi-S also gains a tailgate spoiler. We love the interior of the Honda Jazz. More importantly, the all-round visibility that these

Versatile: The Honda Jazz is a high-quality and affordable small hatch.

features provide, together with sensibly designed A-pillars and large side mirrors, makes it safer. The Jazz has one of the best folding rear seat designs of them all. The rear seat slides backwards and forwards to let you choose your own compromise between people and/or luggage. Although it’s not a full five seater for large adults, Jazz can carry four average-sized adults in reasonable comfort with the bonus of a number of practical and convenient in-cabin stowage areas including under-seat compartments. In terms of safety Jazz gets the maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating, with equipment that includes six airbags (front, side and curtain airbags), front and rear seatbelt reminder, ABS with Brake Assist and Vehicle Stability Assist. Other standard features include Bluetooth connectivity (phone and audio), USB socket, multiinformation display, 10 cup holders and tilt/telescopic adjustable steering wheel. The two higher-specced models

also get cruise control, steering wheel mounted audio controls, alloy wheels (15-inch and 16-inch respectively) and fog lamps. Jazz comes with the choice of two petrol engines, with capacities of 1.3 litres (GLi) and 1.5 litres (VTi and VTi-S). Power from the smaller engine is 73kW and torque 127Nm, the latter relatively flat to give handy improvements at relatively low revs. Indeed, the 1.3-litre may have all the power and torque you need if the car isn’t used in hilly areas and doesn’t transport big loads. Our most recent test was in the Honda Jazz VTi with the 88kW, 145Nm 1.5-litre engine and fivespeed manual gearbox – there’s also a five-speed automatic that’s optional in the GLi and standard in the VTi-S. As expected the larger engine has a more refined and responsive feel. We found ourselves using just under six litres per hundred kilometres on the motorway segment of our test and in the midsevens around town.

Wayne keeping clients’ boats safe on water with range of expert service reakwater Marine is Geelong’s Yamaha and Honda outboard motor specialist. Owner Wayne Gibbons works hard to keep every boat in top shape. Unlike its competitors, Breakwater Marine works on outboard motors of any brand or age. Wayne recommends annual motor servicing but says many owners either neglect their engines or leave bookings to the last minute. “If you let an engine corrode in this harsh marine environment it will only cost more the longer you leave it,” he advises. Wayne says keeping boat engines in top shape is a matter of safety. “When a boat breaks down you can’t get out of it and walk home, like a car. An unsafe engine puts your life at risk, especially if the weather turns nasty.” After more than 12 years in the industry, Wayne has seen many corroded marine engines. He previously worked at some of Geelong’s leading boating businesses, specialising in Yamaha and Honda before starting Breakwater Marine two years ago. Breakwater Marine is often booked two weeks in advance in summer months. “Now’s the time of year when people are using their boats,” Wayne says. He encourages boat owners to phone with bookings as soon as possible before the waiting list grows any further. Breakwater Marine also offers a pre-purchase inspection service for boats and trailers. “Some people buy old motors that haven’t been serviced for a long time and run into trouble because they’re all corroded. They think they’re getting a bargain but they’re not,” Wayne warns. Breakwater Marine is at 12 Wattle Park Ave, Moolap, phone 5248 8480 or email breakwatermarine@hotmail.com.

Cats finally find finals form GEELONG Cricket will start its finals campaign this weekend against the same team the Cats defeated in spectactular fashion to end the home-and-away season. Last weekend’s victory over Frankston Peninsula could not have been more timely for Geelong as it struggled to find form. Bowling first, Jeremy Hart led the way in his return from injury with 4/22, while Jake Reed took 3/17 to help dismiss Frankston Peninsula for just 70. In reply, Liam Buchanan quickly made 53 to complete a win that would have given the Cats a confidence boost leading into the cut-throat final. Geelong Cricket Association moves into semi finals this weekend, with just

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE four teams left in contention after Lara and St Joseph’s fell by the wayside last week. Grovedale made short work of St Joseph’s last week, so the Tigers are in daunting form for South Barwon.

The Swans remain in contention despite a narrow loss to East Belmont last week. With a heavy reliance on Clinton Peake and after winning just one of seven finals in the past five years, they need to fight back dramatically to support the hype surrounding them. East Belmont chased down South Barwon’s score with just one wicket and an over to spare, so at least the Swans will take some momentum and belief out of the win as they travel to Osborne Park to play Geelong West. West looked shaky with the bat last week to be dismissed for just 147 but fought back strongly with the ball to bowl out Lara for just 106 in reply. Selections: GROVEDALE v South

Barwon, Geelong West v EAST BELMONT. Results went as expected in division two, with top two sides Geelong City and St Albans Breakwater enjoying relatively easy wins over Newcomb & District and Thomson respectively. City batted first to make just 173 but its strong bowling dismissed the Dinosaurs for 109. St Albans Breakwater also batted first to score 211, which Thomson never looked like reaching. The results consigned the Murgheboluc and Warn Ponds game to a virtual dead rubber, with both sides guaranteed of progressing. Murgheboluc won anyway to now face St Albans Breakwater at Richmond

Crescent, while Waurn Ponds has to take on premiership favourite Geelong City at St Albans Reserve. Selections: GEELONG CITY v Waurn Ponds, ST ALBANS BREAKWATER v Murgheboluc. Upsets in division three last week eliminated Teesdale and Modewarre but Winchelsea’s top place on the ladder ensured it progressed through anyway. Two of last week’s winners, Meredith and Inverleigh, play each other at Winchelsea Reserve. The other winner from last week, Lethbridge hosts Winchelsea in what will be a tough game. Selections: Meredith v INVERLEIGH, Lethbridge v WINCHELSEA.

Salmon, whiting, flathead reward anglers in ideal bay conditions On the bite BRIAN LONG IDEAL conditions rewarded anglers with great captures over the past week. Salmon were found in many locations, with the best action trolling just outside The Rip. Most fish averaged around 1kg but some were just over 2kg. Salmon were also found between Point Wilson Pier and Kirk’s Point where the fish were harassing abundant small garfish. Casting small, metal baitfish-profile lures worked a treat. Guy McKenzie fished just inside Swan Bay to catch an assortment of species. Garfish and whiting dominated but Guy finished with a reasonable bag of flathead, the best 2.3kg. Nathan Welsh fished Edwards Point twice, with both trips returning bag limits of squid. Nathan said being on the water before daylight was essential for the best fishing.

The long weekend sent huge numbers of boats onto the bays, with anglers finding whiting generally cooperative on the inshore grass beds between Edwards Point and St Leonards. The deep water off St Leonards hosted plenty of flathead, not all huge but in large numbers. Daniel Graham fished Saturday night on the Stingaree Bay spoil grounds for snapper. About 10pm two rods folded with a pair of quality fish both over 3kg each before Daniel caught his third fish, a 6.3kg beauty, two hours later. Damien Wright fished the rocks at Point Lillias where he found plenty of undersize snapper during daylight. Better fish arrived after sunset, with Damien taking a bag limit of fish just over 1kg. Noel Richie laid a berley trail inside the Hermsley spoil grounds, attracting many garfish over two sessions. Paul Kelly found the fishing quiet last Monday morning before trolling a pair of Rapala Tail Dancer along the channel line between Point Henry and Clifton Springs. He had only travelled a few hundred metres before he caught the first of three pike to 84cm and a number of small snapper just over 1kg. Soft plastics angler Paul Carter launched his Hobie kayak at Kirk’s Point to catch plenty of small snapper, flathead

and pike on Turtleback worms. Surf anglers took reasonable numbers of snapper from the rocks at Cinema Point, Artillery Rock and the Sheoaks. Most snapper were 35cm but whiting to 42cm and trevally to 48cm were even better.

Fairhaven produced salmon at first light on lure, with the fish apparently moving to deeper water off the rocks at Devils Elbow as the sun rose. Freshwater captures were limited. Redfin and trout were taken at Wurdee

Buloc Reservoir but numbers were down. Lake Elingamite, near Cobden, was one of the most productive, rewarding anglers with redfin to 1.5kg and trout over 2kg. Bait and lure worked equally well. Darren Forbes trekked into the top end of West Barwon Reservoir where he found the fishing slow. Darren still managed two trout of around 900g and plenty of small redfin on Atomic shad lures. Apollo Bay hosted an influx of anglers over the long weekend but the fishing was generally quiet. Anglers chasing bream at first light had success on suspending hard-bodied lures such as Lay Down minnows and Sx 40s in the Barham River. A few pushed further along the coast to Aire River where quality bream were caught on lures and fresh bait. Bluefin tuna season is approaching. Few have been caught so far, with most taken out wide in 700m-plus of water where the fish have been busting up consistently on sauries. This weekend’s evening tides should be ideal for surf anglers on the coast’s deeper rock platforms.
