Torquay ‘top of coastal markets’ BY CHERIE DONNELLAN TORQUAY is the “best-performing coastal town” on Australia’s property market, according to a new real estate study. PRDnationwide researchers found that Torquay house and unit sale prices rose significantly in 2011 despite a decline in sales volume. Research director Aaron Maskrey said Torquay had bucked a trend of falling prices after the 2009 government stimulus period. “Where other coastal towns suffered losses, Torquay’s market has gone from strength to strength.” PRDnationwide’s median Torquay unit sale price showed a 24.5 per cent increase on 2010. The median unit price was $495,000 in December, compared to $397,500 for the same time in 2010. The report found a 5.2 per cent increase in house sale prices, up to $568,000. The 2010 median was $28,000 lower at $540,000. But the report revealed that sales were down 51 per cent for houses and 39.5 per cent for units in 2011. Mr Maskrey said the sales volume decline suggested the market would “cool off”. “Victoria in general had higher gains in comparison to other states’ markets in 2011 but it could have been its peak.” Melbourne region figures showed a five per cent decrease in median house prices in 2011. Mr Maskrey said Melbourne’s

housing supply saturation meant prices had to remain competitively low. “Torquay doesn’t have that oversupply yet, so it’s still riding the peak of the market wave but I would be surprised if the median unit price for Torquay continued double-digit growth.” Michael Ferris, of new Torquay agency Whitford, said “well-

priced and well-located” property would continue to entice buyers to the town. Mr Ferris said more buyers were seeking permanent homes in Torquay. “Compared to towns like Anglesea and Lorne that still have a large holiday housing market, more people are wanting to live in Torquay permanently.”

Mr Ferris expected Torquay prices to “hold” despite land supply expanding as new estates opened. “Buyers are well-educated. Pricing and positioning are so important at the moment.” Mr Ferris said Whitford sold a three-bedroom unit for $573,000 at auction during Easter, was a “fantastic result.”

FORD OWNERS

Great Ocean Road Real Estate’s Geoff Bennett labelled Torquay a buyer’s market. Buyers were “being cautious”, he said. “I’ve noticed a definite drop in the number of sales, which means there’s considerable housing stock at the moment but that’s having little effect on prices. They’re holding at the moment.”

Juc park ‘turf war’ set to end BY CHERIE DONNELLAN JAN JUC Creek Reserve will reopen this week after an asbestos scare forced its closure in late February, according to RACV. A spokesperson said RACV would remove fencing and start laying turf as part of “rectification works” at the reserve. Surf Coast Shire fenced off the reserve between Duffields Rd and Hoylake Ave after asbestos was detected in a topsoil sample in February. RACV had been installing stormwater pipes in the area to irrigate Torquay golf course. The company said it would take “a few days, weather permitting” to complete the restoration. Community groups were frustrated with ongoing delays keeping the park closed. Council released a statement in March saying the reserve would reopen in the first week of April. Friends of Jan Juc Creek’s Sid Pope said he was pleased to see the “shameful episode is finally coming to a close”. “We’ve been lobbying for the reserve to be restored for a long time, so it’s good to see the council and RACV are finally owning up to their responsibilities.” Friends of Jan Juc Creek’s Octavia Chabrier said council told her works were delayed because RACV refused to pay for turf. “RACV doesn’t want to reinstate the area to its original greenery, they only wish to throw some grass seed in,” Ms Chabrier posted on a community Facebook page this week.

Nelson Park anger boils over

PLAY, a programme supported by Shell, provides parents with guidance to enhance their child’s development.

Pointed at parliament: John Eren and James Merlino in Spring St with the Nelson Park petition.

SHELL SUPPORTS PLAY

Parents ‘alarmed’ as petition tabled

Shell is pleased to announce it will continue its support of the PLAY programme in Geelong’s northern suburbs for a further two years. PLAY, an early intervention programme managed by Glastonbury Community Services, works with families to provide the most stimulating home environment possible for their children. PLAY helps strengthen parent-child relationships and builds on a child’s natural curiosity and love for learning. Chief Executive Ofﬁcer of Glastonbury Community Services, Gabrielle Nagle, said the organisation has identiﬁed the ongoing need for the PLAY programme in Geelong’s northern suburbs.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN OPPOSITION MPs are needlessly distressing parents with calls to retain a senior campus of northern Geelong’s school for disabled children, according to Education Minister Martin Dixon. A spokesperson accused Member for Lara John Eren and opposition shadow education minister James Merlino of political motivations in their campaign for Nelson Park School’s Hendy St campus. But Mr Eren and Mr Merlino said State Government plans to close the campus “ignored” the growing needs of the school’s

“Current research shows the ﬁrst three years of a child’s life are the most crucial in establishing a solid learning foundation for their later years,” said Gabrielle. “We thank Shell for their ongoing support of PLAY and commend them on their approach to supporting such an important early childhood intervention programme.” Shell supports a range of programmes with an education focus or objective. In the northern suburbs this includes The Bluearth Approach, PLAY, Limeburners Link, Water Smart Kids, Give Where You Live and a range of small grants.

staff and students. They presented parliament with a petition of 1214 signatures supporting retention of the Hendy St campus. “Education Minister Martin Dixon cannot ignore this issue any more,” Mr Merlino said. “Nelson Park services one of the rapidly growing areas in the Geelong region but Mr Dixon has ignored this growth and decided to cram the entire school into one campus.” Mr Merlino said the petition demonstrated community support for Hendy St as a permanent campus. Mr Eren said Premier Ted

Baillieu should rule out any sale of the land and use next month’s budget to announce funding for improved facilities. The spokesman said the education department was exploring options to accommodate senior students in “more-appropriate facilities that better meet their needs”. “The Hendy St campus of Nelson Park School was always intended as temporary accommodation and is not designed to suit the needs of students. “While the school’s main campus has enough space to accommodate the senior students, the school has indicated

that it wants to house its senior students at another facility.” The spokesman said one option was a dedicated satellite facility at Northern Bay College’s trade training centre. “This is a separate unit specifically for Nelson Park students from which the students will be able to access the centre under guidance from Nelson Park staff. “This facility will enable a number of the senior students to benefit from trade-related experience at the trade training centre. “Other options are also being considered at the request of the school.”

The South Australia police officer was “uncooperative” when given an explanation for the ride, he said. “We tried to tell him that we had already notified Adelaide police about what we were doing and where we’d be but he didn’t want a bar of it. “He wouldn’t even call the

Power plant ‘staying’ despite smelter future BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN ALCOA’S Anglesea power station will continue operating even the company closes its Pt Henry smelter, a spokesperson has confirmed. The prospect has alarmed environmentalists who fear operations at the brown coal-fired plant could expand to supply Victoria’s power grid. Alcoa’s smelter has been under review since last month, with the company Alcoa promising a decision by June. Alcoa said high input costs and low world alumina prices had prompted the review, putting 600 jobs in limbo. An Alcoa spokesperson said the company would talk to power station “stakeholders” if the smelter was closed. “If the decision is taken to change the function of the Pt Henry smelter,

Alcoa ‘grid plan’ revealed Anglesea can operate as a stand-alone facility,” she said. Geelong Environment Council president Joan Lindros said she was told at an Alcoa community advisory committee that the power station would sell its electricity if the smelter was mothballed. “We were told that if the smelter does shut down the mine will continue and power produced will be sold to the grid. “That really rang alarm bells because it also appears to leave open the option for Alcoa to sell the power station as an operating concern. “The whole process is outrageous because Alcoa knew the smelter was

under financial stress when the Anglesea lease was renewed for another 50 years. “The whole process is so cynical, economically driven and money grabbing.” Surf Coast Energy Group president Caroline Hawkins said the power station should also close if Alcoa abandoned the smelter . “At the time the new lease was being negotiated the energy minister told us it was important to keep the Anglesea mine to support jobs in Geelong,” Ms Hawkins said. “Now we learn that even if that is no longer the case, it’s being allowed to continue.

“The new lease included a relaxed clause that said the power station could continue as long as aluminium smelting occurred in Victoria. “Previously it had been linked specifically to Pt Henry. This just doesn’t look right. “Victorians will pay for electricity subsidies to keep Anglesea going even if there is no Pt Henry smelter.” Anglesea Air Action spokesman Mike Lawrence said the community had hoped Alcoa would shut down the power station if the smelter closed. “If they keep the power station open and close Pt Henry then Alcoa and State Government have got it the wrong way around,” Mr Lawrence said. “Alcoa must have a very sweet deal into the energy market.”

in brief Elderly trial A TRIAL project will seek to prevent elderly Geelong residents becoming homeless, Victorian Housing Minister Wendy Lovell has announced. Aged care housing provider Wintringham will extend its services to Geelong as part of the project, with acting chief Michael Deschepper saying project staff would initially be based in the city to work with elderly clients.

Beach rescues SURF COAST and Bellarine Peninsula beaches recorded some of the biggest increases and the largest decrease in rescues over the summer patrol season, according to Life Saving Victoria. A spokesperson said Ocean Grove and Fairhaven had increases of 21 and 13 respectively but Anglesea was down 32 compared to last year.

Green boost A $150,000 funding injection will help deliver three environmental projects on the Bellarine Peninsula, Upper House MP David Koch has announced. He said Bellarine Landcare Group would receive most of the money, $134,000, for a project to revegetate 15 hectares of as-yet-unidentified private land.

Storages down THE REGION’S water storages have slipped below three quarters full amid dry autumn weather across the region. Barwon Water recorded the storages at 73.5 per cent of capacity this week after consumers drained 601 million litres from the system without any rain.

Hockey win GEELONG will host state finals of “one of the world’s fastest growing, most action-packed and fast-paced sports”, according to its governing body. Skate Australia said competitors in the Victorian Inline Hockey titles would battle at Newtown’s Rollerway centre on May 13 for both the state championship and to compete at national level in Adelaide later this year.

Gardens watered AN ARTIFICIAL lake is ready to begin watering Geelong Botanic Gardens, council has announced. A spokesperson said the lake would collect Eastern Park stormwater to provide up to 90 per cent of water requirements for the gardens, which would now undergo a four-year upgrade of its irrigation system.

Phantom menace: Tim Corbett after his failed records attempt. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 80181

Rough luck as showgrounds send records bid off track BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN IF ANYONE has access to two or three kilometres of glass-smooth track, Geelong engineer Tim Corbett would like to know. Mr Corbett said a rough surface and broken equipment defeated his attempts to set four world and Australian records on his aerodynamic tricycle at Geelong Showgrounds on Wednesday. The Deakin engineer spent two years designing

and building the Phantom TT as part of the records attempt. He intended to spend six hours pedalling nonstop around the showgrounds circuit. “My timing crew noticed the lap times coming down by three seconds yet my heart rate was going up,” Mr Corbett said. “Breaking the front fairing mount meant we lost a lot of the aerodynamics, so we had to break off the attempt after the first hour.

“We recorded some fast times in training at Geelong West velodrome, so we expected to achieve some good results. “We’ll have to explore alternative venue options. We’ve talked to Holden and Ford to try getting some time on a proving ground.” Mr Corbett said he would use the time before his next record attempt to improve the tricycle with increased drive train efficiency and using discs on the wheels.

Program for disabled blossoms in awards BY MICHELLE HERBISON A GROUP of budding florists has attracted statewide recognition as a finalist in 2012’s Victorian Disability Sector Awards. Scope Barwon South West’s Christine Brooks said the Boxes and Bunches group was “thrilled” with its nomination. “The nomination recognises and celebrates Scope’s commitment to the development of people with a disability to achieve their life goals,” Ms Brooks said. She described Boxes and Bunches as a group of eight disabled adults working with Scope staff and volunteers to prepare flower arrangements every week. The program grew out of a weekly floristry program as part of a Scope Manifold Heights day and lifestyles options program. The participants with disabilities had been involved at every stage of business development, Ms Brooks said. The group now hoped to move into a shop in the next 12 months so participants could gain enough experience to move into the workforce. “The aim of the business is to create meaningful work and experiences for people with a disability,” Ms Brooks said. “It recognises how we do things and what we achieve, working together to achieve shared goals and outcomes.” Ms Brooks said Boxes and Bunches had allowed participants to develop friendships and experience having their participation and abilities valued. Victorian Community Services Minister Mary Wooldridge said the awards would recognise the often “unnoticed” dedication of disability workers. “Boxes and Bunches also supports people with a disability to learn about the floristy industry and develop new skills by encouraging them to attend a TAFE course of floristry,” she said.

Property ‘biggest employer’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE PROPERTY industry is the Barwon region’s largest employer, according to a new study. The study shows the property industry employs 33,527 Barwon region full-time equivalent workers. The figure represented the property industry’s largest proportional contribution to total employment in Victoria, the study revealed. In comparison, G21 Geelong Alliance figures show retail employing 19,237 staff in the region, manufacturing 19,016 and health 17,368. Property Council of Australia’s Victorian division commissioned the study, providing figures for the Barwon statistical division and major sub-regions. The G21 Region covers the same area as the Barwon statistical division. The property council report aimed to identify the economic impact of the industry throughout the state. The report said greater Geelong contributed $2.7 billion, or three per cent, of Victoria’s property industry gross product. Geelong also had the highest total unimproved capital value of subregions land at $22.3 billion, mainly residential.

The total land value for the region was $37 billion. “Greater Geelong recorded the highest land values across all land types compared to the other major subregions,” the study said. Greater Geelong also recorded the highest number and value of residential building approvals. The study said 4298 approvals were valued at $1.1 million in 2009/2010. The region also had the highest value of non-residential approvals at $693 million. Barwon contributed almost $246 million in state taxes and $194.6 million in property rates and municipal charges. But the latest property council confidence survey showed “sentiment” dropping. Global economic conditions and low confidence in the Victorian Government was driving the fall, the survey said. Property Council Victoria executive director Jennifer Cunich said sentiment was dangerously weak in Victoria Continued decline in Victorian economic growth expectations despite a rise in national expectations was a worry, she said.

Thieves target Open Day riding charity BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN BURGLARS have hit one of Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smallest charities a second time in less than six months, according to its executive officer. Rainbow Ridersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rikki Raadsveld said the charity was unable to replace the stolen items, worth $3000. Thieves broke into the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classroom last weekend, taking a 101cm widescreen Hisense television and a 48cm computer monitor, she said. An adjacent Honda fire emergency water pump was also stolen. Ms Raadsveld said the fire pump was crucial safety equipment, connected to a water tank and trailer for the fire season. Rainbow Riders runs unique horse-based programs for disadvantaged and disabled children. Ms Raadsveld said the latest thefts had left the charity with total losses of $13,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had two motorcycles worth $10,000 taken less than six months ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only a small charity and simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the funds to replace any of this equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of our limited funding is directed first and foremost into the actual programs for children and the impact of this break-in will be wide ranging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will mean we have to curtail some programs because the screens were critical for the multi-media program. We use it on wet weather days and as part

‘A-tractor’ of Fergy fanatics

This iconic poster is one of a sequence of promotional posters created by renowned Geelong raised artist, James Northﬁeld, in the 1920’s and ‘30’s. James Northﬁeld was educated at Geelong West State School and the Gordon Institute, before becoming one of Australia’s leading commercial artists.

JOHN VAN KLAVEREN “In fact, they’re still so popular that their value is increasing, which makes it harder when we’re trying to donate tractors where they’re needed overseas. “We often have to buy them – Rotary paid $4000 for the one we just sent to PNG.” Graham puts their popularity down to the pivotal role of the Ferguson tractor in revolutionising the agricultural industry. “The Fergy helped agriculture move from horse power to tractor power and they were so versatile. Even councils bought them for everything they previously used horses for.” Graham has been part of several Ferguson “travelling circuses”

The James Northﬁeld Trust was set up in 1999 to preserve his legacy. You can view an original of the Geelong poster or purchase a reproduction at the Geelong Art Gallery.

with a convoy of the little grey machines chugging at their stately 13km/h around Victoria. “We’d go to field days and vintage machinery rallies, demonstrating the Ferguson. “The first one was a trip from Point Lonsdale to the Echuca steam rally in 2003. It was so successful we said we should keep it going.” Examples of the little tractor with a big reputation will be on display at a National Trust Heritage Festival at Osborne House this Sunday. The Victorian-wide festival, with the theme of innovation and invention, features a variety of events. “There are still plenty of them around. They’re everywhere, in sheds and in use,” Graham said. Graham asked anyone with a Fergy or parts lying around to contact him through rotarydonations.org.au so he can give them the love and attention they deserve.

JAMES NORTHFIELD AND THE ICONIC GEELONG POSTER.

Courtesy of theJames Northﬁeld Heritage Art Trust ©

IT WAS the little tractor that could and it has inspired love and devotion for more than 60 years. Harry Ferguson’s pre-World War II hydraulic system is still the model used in modern machinery. The Western District-based Ferguson Tractor Club has 750 members around Australia, including founding member Graeme Wilson of Drysdale. Graham is also part of a dedicated band of “Little Grey Fergy” fanatics who seek out the machines and restore them so they can live useful lives. The group, calling itself the Ferguson Heritage Club, restores and repairs the tractors and associated implements so Rotary can send them to countries like Fiji and Papua New Guinea. The group operates from Rotary Donations in Kind depot at North Geelong’s Osborne House. “It was very popular machinery and being part of the larger club helps us when we’re restoring them,” Graham said.

letters Safety breakdown ONCE again the community of Lara has been cut in half during peak commuting times thanks to the inadequacy of V/Line’s substandard rail-crossing system. Residents were forced to again put their lives at risk to run a gauntlet when crossing one of the three rail crossings over V/Lineowned lines cutting through this quiet country town. This is becoming an all-too-common occurrence, with the system failing more than once as early as last week when it was down for over five hours. V/Line does not even bother putting in safety precautions during these breakdowns, such as appointing crossing directors so peak-time traffic can cross safely. Not only does it affect motorised transport but pedestrians are also forced to use the road or wait it out without any timeframe. V/Line’s support service offers little to no assistance, only telling the caller technicians are “fixing the problem”. Greg Forster Lara

Greek fantasy I AM not sure which country Gary Oraniuk (Letters, 6th April) thinks he is living in but to say that Australia’s financial position is heading the same direction as Greece is pure fantasy. Perhaps he believes Tony Abbott’s propaganda on this issue. In reality, Australia is in a fantastic position and is envied by the rest of the world. Net government debt, which is what Mr Oraniuk was concerned about, is around $80 billion, or 6.4 per cent of GDP, so his statement that the Government borrows $100 million every day was just plain wrong. This is like a person earning $50,000 having a home loan of $3000, which is hardly “sending the Commonwealth to the wall”, as Mr Oraniuk stated. Our credit rating is AAA, we have low unemployment rates and one of the best standards of living in the world. We have survived the global financial crisis with little pain. Our bond rate, the

interest on government loans, is 3.88 per cent, which means investors think we are low-risk borrowers. Federal Government did the right thing providing stimulus when it was needed, albeit copping some criticism for where the money was spent but by and large averting a recession. Now compare Greece: unemployment 20 per cent; debt to GDP 142 per cent; and a bond rate of 38 per cent. Before people panic about the state of our nation it is wise to understand where we sit first. Mark Ruseler Lara

Thanks relayed ON BEHALF of Cancer Council Victoria, I congratulate and thank everyone who helped make Geelong Relay For Life a successful event. More than 1700 residents came together to participate in the overnight relay-style event celebrating cancer survivors, remembering loved ones lost and encouraging the community to fight back against cancer. The event challenges teams to take turns to keep a baton moving all night in a relaystyle walk or run. I am constantly inspired by Relay For Life participants and volunteers and their dedication to the cause. Although the statistics are confronting one in two people will be diagnosed with cancer by age 85 - there is reason to celebrate. Over the past two decades the survival rates for many common cancers had increased by more than 30 per cent. This is largely thanks to research and prevention measures funded by Victorians through programs such as Relay For Life. This year Geelong participants are expecting to raise $200,000 for Cancer Council Victoria’s research and prevention programs as well as support services such as Cancer Council Helpline, 13 11 20. I would like to personally thank each of the volunteer committee members, led by chair/manager Anne Miller, for volunteering their time and energy to ensure the event’s success. We would not be able to make such great

inroads without the dedication, commitment and support of our donors and volunteers. Todd Harper Cancer Council Victoria chief executive officer

Good, bye Bob THANK goodness Bob Brown has retired. He and his party have created havoc in the Australian business community. We can thank the Greens for skyrocketing energy prices, the carbon tax and expensive and nonsensical renewable energy policies. Thanks to the Greens the family farm has been decimated by the arrogance of Brown and his legion of eco-warriors. In fact, green policies have done more damage to agriculture then droughts, floods and locusts. The difference is that natural disasters come and go. Unfortunately, the Greens are determined to keep foisting their lunacy on an unsuspecting populace indefinitely. Under Christine Milne it will be more of the same. The Greens now rail against coal seam gas. The irony is that coal seam gas exploration has boomed precisely because of the Greens. Fracking of farmland has been driven by green demands for alleged clean energy to replace coal. The Greens created the problem and now they are posing as saviours. Nature blessed this country with ample resources, which supply us with an abundance of cheap power that only coal-fired power can provide. Given Australia has a rapidly expanding population, we must not squander this most valuable asset and trade it in for unreliable and expensive renewable energy as demanded by the Greens.

Feeling a bit Husky Geelong burlesque to show ‘cheek’ in Woodbin BY CHERIE DONNELLAN “CHEEKY” comedy takes on a whole new meaning in the latest burlesque show set for Geelong, warns director and actor Charlotte Hukvari. She described The Sweet Desire Comedy Burlesque Show as a titillating “cabaret with continuity”. “The cast are all professional actors,” Hukvari said. “The show features characters who have individual skits and performances.” Audiences could expect a modern twist on the art of tease, Hukvari said. “People think that burlesque is just about taking your clothes off but it’s really about

making fun of yourself and being free.” Hukvari said the show’s Geelong cast would still have ample makeup, glitter, sequins and feathers to keep audiences bedazzled. Hukvari described her character, The Honourable Veronica Superstar, as a “wannabe star who sings, dances and acts” for a taste of the limelight. Rhiannon Hodgkinson would play “small, adorable maid” Vivien Fluffy Parfait, while Emma Watson features as a “crazily flexible” green fairy. Philip Besancon would appear as a “very creepy” ring master and Cassi ClinganBorst took on the character of Miss Cherise

“who’s deadly with a corset”. Hukvari said Amanda Rector rounded out the troupe as Violet Delight, “a Marilyn-esque feather fan dancer”. Hukvari said the show would be a comedic musical-of-sorts with lots of dancing. “I want people to see the entertainment and art in burlesque,” Hukvari said. The performance involved stripping but not strippers, she explained. “We do peels, not stripteases, because burlesque performers are very different to strippers,” Hukvari laughed. Geelong’s Woodbin Theatre will host the show from May 3 to 5, with tickets costing $24 from stickytickets.com.au

Husky do: Melbourne’s Husky plays Geelong this Friday. everything for us.” Gawenda said the band had recently returned from a three-week tour playing its folk-indy songs in Germany. “We played 18 shows in 17 different towns. We were playing for people who’d never heard of us but they were attentive and gracious. “The venues were pretty full every night and audiences seemed to love the show. It was amazing.” Gawenda said Husky now wanted to impress fans in its own country. Gawenda, the band’s lyricist, said words were the basis of the band’s songs. Many tracks developed from riffs until the lyrics took over, he said. “Our songs dictate the way we develop our sound. Lyrics and melodies are really important to us.”

Modern twist: The characters of The Sweet Desire Comedy Burlesque Show.

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN THE “ATMOSPHERIC sound” of Husky’s Northcote bungalow still comes through loud and clear on the Los Angeles remixing of debut album Forever So, according to the band’s lead singer. Husky Gawenda said even the influence of the bungalow’s “DIY sound-proofing” remained intact. “You get the feel of the sound and emotions of (my old bungalow). We felt at home there, comfortable, and I think it influenced the way the album came out. “It really was a perfect first album for us, a perfect way to record.” Husky plays Geelong’s Barwon Club this Friday night as part of a national and North American tour. Husky recently became the first Australian band to sign with American label Sub Pop, which represented legendary groups like Nirvana and Soundgarden. Gawenda said Husky had its first “Oh my god” moment when it won a Triple J Unearthed competition in 2011. “I got the phone call and I was so excited when they said we’d won. I called the guys and everyone was shocked but so excited. “I think that moment really started

Right times to check hearing veryone needs to manage their aging bodies as they grow older. Understanding acquired shortcomings and investigating available options allows proactive management of ageing. Fiona Sutherland, of Waurn Ponds Hearing Clinic, can provide the right advice about when to consider a hearing test and what the results may reveal. “If you regularly notice problems hearing in daily activities, this is a sign that you need to have your hearing checked,” Fiona says. “ Most hearing tests don’t result in the person even needing hearing aids yet. Education and counselling on how to deal with the hearing levels you have will often allow you to hear without hearing aids for many years. “However, if you have ignored the signs of hearing loss then you have often already started to avoid social situations which you once enjoyed. And if you are afraid of ending up with some huge hearing aid that everyone can see, then you will be surprised at how small, discrete and easy to use they are now.” Hearing test costs are fully covered for eligible pensioners and veterans, with rebates available from most private health insurers. Fiona advises against having just a simple “screening” appointment.

Fiona Sutherland and Elizabeth Rogers at Waurn Ponds Hearing Clinic. “Have an actual test with a qualified audiologist so all your needs are considered. “If hearing aids are suggested, most providers will allow you to trial aids for a few weeks. Clients who understand the benefits of hearing aids for themselves become motivated and regular users as part of their full and active lifestyle.”

Challenger gets a 2WD option BY ERIC BLAIR itsubishi Challenger is the second largest of the Japanese importer’s four-vehicle 4WD/SUV range. First released in Australia in 1998, the original vehicle was effectively a Mitsubishi Triton utility with a station wagon body that was developed as a lowercost option to the bigger Mitsubishi Pajero and shared some features with it. As it was developed over the years it moved upwards from those humble ute beginnings and became a model in its own right. Challenger returned to Australia in 2010. As before it shares many components with Triton, a major factor in giving it the off-road toughness. Interestingly, the Challenger has commercial-vehicle styling at the front. With strong cues to the Triton, the Challenger uses the latest double-diagonal Mitsubishi grille theme. As part of its 2012 upgrade, and in line with the current trend, Mitsubishi added a 2WD

option. Challenger has a number of advantages over traditional station wagons. Firstly it is dieselpowered meaning better economy when towing than either of the petrol sixes found in the local makes. Secondly, the Challenger has a massive boot space with builtin 12 volt system for the refrigerator. Thirdly, Challenger has the same ride-height as the 4WD variant meaning the driver sits high giving a better driving position for long-haul stints at the wheel. It’s no secret Australian caravaners like to keep some towing capacity up their sleeve. The new Challenger 2WD retains the 3000 kg towing rate from the 4WD variants. As well as using strong ladder-frame construction, Mitsubishi Challenger also features a two-speed transfer case with low-range to multiply torque in extreme driving and to let it crawl at ultra low speeds when the conditions are really harsh.

Spare parts prices are about average for this class. There can be quality control niggles in the older cars, so have a professional look over the car to find out its exact condition. Try to test the engine when it’s cold after an overnight stop. Start it up and make sure the oilpressure light goes out promptly. At the same time listen for any rattling and feel for unevenness in the engine’s idle. Accelerate the car hard after the engine is warm and feel for any hesitation under acceleration. Look for a puff of smoke from the exhaust at the same time. If you suspect a turbocharged engine has been driven hard get it looked over by an expert. Check for crash damage and previous body repairs. Looking at the finish of the paint, as well as for overspray on unpainted parts, is often the best way to start.

BY ERIC BLAIR olden Astra is a small medium model that was popular in Australia for many years. From 1996 until 2010 it was imported from Europe where it was made by Opel, a German company. Astras prior to 1996 were Australian-built and were closely related to Nissan Pulsars. Holden Astras were discontinued in 2010, but the nameplate will be revived in 2012, this time carrying the original Opel badges instead of Holden ones. Astras offer pleasing dynamic performance and are a delight to drive. Body types are many and varied. Three-door coupes, five-door hatches and four-door sedans make up the bulk of the Astras on the used market. Engines are all four-cylinder units with 1.6-litre, 1.8-litre in most cars. The high-performance Astra GSi has a 2.0-litre unit. With the 1998 TS Astra, only the 1.8 was offered in the standard cars, with the SRi and convertible getting a 2.2-litre. An economical turbo-diesel engine joined the lineup in June 2006. These days the European marques are growing great guns with turbodiesel engines, so there might still be a chance to pick up an Astra diesel at a pretty good price before people wake up to this relatively unknown diesel Holden. Underbonnet accessibility is generally good and the car is relatively easy to work on.

sport Cats to scratch over the line LARA and North Shore clash at Bisinella Oval on Saturday in the highlight of Geelong Football League’s round two. New Lara coach Matt Kershaw would be delighted his side had a first-up win last weekend over Grovedale. Mitch Day was in sparkling form with five goals in a best-on-ground performance, while recruits Rhyce Prismall, Matt Taylor and Shaydon Bloomfield also impressed in their first outing for the Cats. North Shore lost to St Mary’s last week but showed enough to suggest it has covered the loss of James Byrne and will continue its climb back to prominence. James Chandler, Ash McClean and Jarrod Bryant were good and will be the driving forces behind the Seagulls this year. These two sides have a rich rivalry and always put on a willing display. Expect Lara to just get over the line. Other selections: West saints v ST JOSEPH’S, BELL PARK v Colac, Grovedale v SOUTH BAR-

Local Footy FRANK MASON WON, NEWTOWN v Leopold, St Alban’s v ST MARY’S. South Barwon and St Joseph’s play at McDonalds Reserve, Anzac Day in the first game of round three.

BFL Amateurs find itself in Saturday’s game of the day for all the wrong reasons after losing its first two matches this year now facing unbeaten Ocean Grove at Grubber headquarters.

Losing three in a row is just about unheard of for the boys from Queen’s Park but it’s on the cards if it can’t dramatically alter the slide. Damien Zaparenkov, Trevor Edwards and Richard Kangars are playing well but the rest of the side is battling, with the loss of Jason Tom and Lindsay Smith biting hard. Ocean Grove hasn’t put a foot wrong, with Daniel Maloney kicking goals due to the dominance of Liam Rock and Shane Jack around the ground. The Grubbers have set themselves the goal of at least playing in this year’s grand final and started their journey in the best possible manner. Amateurs still has a good list and, with a determined playing coach in Tim Clark, it would be unwise to wipe off its season. The Grubbers will win this one but Ammos will be competitive and stronger later in the season. Other selections: Portarlington v ANGLESEA, QUEENSCLIFF v Barwon Heads, TORQUAY v Newcomb, Modewarre v DRYSDALE.

GDFL Anakie hosts Thomson in Geelong and District Football League’s match of round two. The Roos came out jumping for new coach Scott McDonald last weekend to thump Blue West. Daniel Berg kicked nine, while Nick Costello, Caine Hayes and Rick Lazzarich put in their usual solid performances. Few would have predicted the Roos would be on top spot after round one. That’s what happened last week, with the recruitloaded Tigers recording an expected victory although it should have been a bigger margin. Luke Forbes is expected to play for the Tigers this week and his skill will make a huge difference. Playing at home definitely gives Anakie an advantage but Thomson should take the points. Other selections: NORTH GEELONG v Inverleigh, WERRIBEE CENTRALS v East Geelong, Belmont Lions v BELL POST HILL, BANNOCKBURN v Corio, WINCHELSEA v Blue West.

Perfect conditions and big tuna send local anglers down the coast

BRIAN LONG PERFECT conditions for angling produced some outstanding captures in salt and freshwater across the region in the past week. Many anglers trekked to Portland, Port Fairy and Warrnambool for southern bluefin tuna, with the latter producing season-best fish to 116kg. Most tuna ranged between 10kg and 25kg, ideal for light tackle. Plenty of albacore were also taken out wide near the shelf in sizes from 3kg to 18kg. Successful lures included Zukers, Pirates, Black Barts and ever-reliable Rapala X Raps. Apollo Bay also produced tuna, many close to shore. Hopefully the fishing will improve in coming weeks so local anglers can enjoy easy day-trips for this top-fighting fish. Anglers struggled for salmon in near-calm conditions last weekend, although fish were caught from the deep-water rock platforms between Lorne and Apollo Bay. This fishery will only improve in coming weeks. Bait anglers seeking salmon should try either Fairhaven or Eastern View, although the water must be clean. The rocks are better than the beach if the seas are flat. Troy Knott fished the rocks at Devil’s Elbow with sandworm under a float, taking a variety of species. Sweep were his target and by the end of the day he’d caught a dozen. Fishing for whiting in the surf can be challenging but Paul Parson had recent success in the shallows of Point Roadknight. Paul used Bass yabbies and

Usual suspect: Sam Buckley with a redfin typical of the size being caught from the Barwon River in Geelong. sandworms to average a dozen fish a trip, his best fish a ripper of 48cm. Estuary anglers found a good shoal of salmon well upstream in the Barwon River. Terry Grieves caught nearly 20 on soft plastics between the Thunderbolt and Lake Connewarre, some over 1.5kg. Terry reported that another angler nearby landed quality bream on local shrimp.

The entrance to Swan Bay produced squid at first light, with good flathead also caught. However, the fish only fell to anglers using liberal berley trails. Garfish were also found in reasonable numbers. This species has been a mainstay for anglers fishing the jetty near the Swan Bay boat ramp. Five-year-old Harrison Vick capitalised on ideal conditions and the help of his parents to catch bag-

On the bite

limits of whiting over both days of the weekend, along with a handful of quality flathead. Many anglers found salmon in the vicinity of Alcoa Pier. Size varied, with most around 900g, with the area also a hotspot for garfish. Many anglers commented on the congregation of boats lining the channel just out from Point Henry. This area has rewarded patient types with some outstanding snapper captures, the Stephens brothers taking bag limits of fish to just over 7kg twice this week. Wesley Faithful also found snapper but on the middle of Stingaree Bay’s spoil grounds. Using pilchards he caught three fish between 3.5 and 5.6kg in just two hours, with the fish on the bite around sunrise. Sam Buckley has been fishing the Barwon River in Geelong with lures for a return of some nice redfin along with odd brown trout. Peter Faull also got among the redfin action while casting Coke Can colour Scorpion lures. Peter’s fish ranged from 400g to 600g, with his best area all the way between Queen’s Park and Breakwater bridges. Lake Tooliorook remained one of the best freshwater destinations, with redfin continuing to bite on local minnow and ice jigs. Trout over 2kg were also with Powerbait fished on a running sinker rig. Deep Lake was hit and miss but anglers should keep an eye on this water because it will produce great trout fishing in coming weeks. Powerbait has been best but lures such as SX 40s and Lil Rippers have also been taking their fair share of trout. Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree has also a prime trout destination, with all methods catching rainbow trout up to 1kg. Anglers have reported the best action on overcast days. This weekend freshwater anglers should head to Lake Tooliorook, with the forecast looking perfect for trout and redfin. Saltwater anglers unable to chase tuna should lay a berley trail between Alcoa Pier and the sandbar for a feed of quality garfish. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Ave, Manifold Heights.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN ONLY a bypass link to the Bellarine Peninsula will solve Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eastwest traffic snarls, according to new regional plans. Municipal alliance group G21â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional growth plan and regional economic strategy both identified ring road completion as crucial. The plans said connections with the Surf Coast, Bannockburn and Colac were also important. The road project would remove a â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant degree of traffic and freightâ&#x20AC;? through Geelong to help the city centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;reactivationâ&#x20AC;?. G21 head Elaine Carbines said east west-traffic issues were restricting growth in central Geelong. The G21 plans said a central Geelong reactivation project identified development of high-density residential spaces and â&#x20AC;&#x153;advanced services activitiesâ&#x20AC;?. The project would target opportunities for state and national business

headquarters and increased commercial investment. The plans said generating higher volumes of foot traffic would require effective management of car traffic and the removal of â&#x20AC;&#x153;car-pedestrian interface issuesâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;East-west traffic through central Geelong servicing the Bellarine Peninsula is a challenge to the pedestrianisation of central Geelong,â&#x20AC;? the plans said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(This) is a major part of the reinvigoration plan for the heart of the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;VicRoads projects the Fellmongers Rd (Breakwater bridge) east-west access to be at capacity in 12 to 15 years. This will necessitate a further east river crossing to provide for effective intra-city traffic management.â&#x20AC;? The plans said failure to complete the ring road would hamper regional growth and development, including a potential increase in tourism from seven million to more than 10 million visitors annually.

CHRISTIAN College student Katelyn Shirley plans to blow away the competition at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Powercor Star Search. The 17-year-old regular of the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;wind symphonyâ&#x20AC;? will point her trombone at the instrumental category of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest-running talent quest for young musicians. She regarded the Rotary Club of Highton event as a chance to hone her craft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good opportunity to improve my performance skills,â&#x20AC;?
