“The pilot line is already capitalised.

The world’s fastest sports car,

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN RISING costs and falling patronage are putting a squeeze on pubs and bottle-shops, according to a prominent Geelong hotelier. Peter Burnett, Victorian president of Australian Hotels Association, said confidence in the hotel trade was at its lowest ebb. “I’ve never seen confidence so low as it is at the moment. People are really worried.” Mr Burnett said liquor suppliers faced increased manufacturing and packaging costs following this week’s introduction of the carbon tax. “Electricity is going up, raw materials are going up and the cost of manufacturing increases,” Mr Burnett said. “I don’t imagine the suppliers will absorb it. They’ll pass it on to the retailers, and we have to decide whether or not to pass it on to our consumers.” Mr Burnett said uncertainty over the carbon tax had hit the hotel industry hard. “The problem is we don’t know yet what the impact will be. We haven’t had our first post-carbon tax bill yet. “People aren’t silly. They want to go out but they’re uncertain, so they’re tightening the belt. “People are cautious with their dollars and have every right to be at the moment.” Geelong Chamber of Commerce president Bernadette Uzelac said smaller businesses were also unsure of the tax’s impact. “It’s a wait-and-see-game for many. There’s already cautiousness and uncertainty about the future and the carbon tax contributes to that. “Small business is impacted particularly because they’re at the end of the food chain. It could affect Geelong to a significant degree because a large percentage of SMEs employ a lot of local people.”

with Deakin, he said. Mr Dingle’s brother, Matt, an ex-Deakin engineering student and staff member, was the company’s founder and head of technology development. He said the pilot line would produce “several thousand” units a year to demonstrate the process and its viability.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A HIGH-TECH manufacturing facility for the world’s first carbon fibre wheel will create up to 200 jobs in Geelong, a company has announced. Carbon Revolution said it expected to produce 250,000 wheels a year, with further plans to expand to two million units annually. Carbon Revolution unveiled its one-piece CR9 carbon fibre wheel at Geelong Technology Precinct this week. Carbon Revolution chief executive Jake Dingle said the $40 million full-size facility was part of the company’s long-term plans. Most of the planned production would be exported, with the US the first major market, he said. “We’ll be targeting high volumes and to a mass market. We’re in active discussions with large number of automotive manufacturers at the moment,” Mr Dingle said. “Carbon Revolution also has a number of other carbon fibre wheel products under development, targeting the industrial and commercial vehicle and aerospace markets. “The aerospace market particularly has opportunities for aircraft where weight saving is even more valuable than for cars.” Mr Dingle said Carbon Revolution would first develop a low-volume pilot production line in Geelong Technology Precinct, at Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus.

Lara calls for 24-hour force BY VANESSA VALENZUELA LARA RESIDENTS have vowed to continue pushing for a 24-hour police station despite the town’s sergeant saying extended opening hours are unnecessary. More than 1300 residents have signed a petition demanding extra police to operate the station 24 hours daily. Sergeant Andrew Wharmby said police supported the call for more officers but believed nearby Corio station could handle afterhours calls. “I’m not overly concerned with us not being open 24 hours,” Sgt Wharmby said. “Corio is available if we need help. It’s not a big issue at this point in time. “Residents may feel it is safer with someone being here but Corio isn’t too far away.” Ward councillor Cameron Granger said Lara’s station could

Motion: Cameron Granger. handle extra police. “I’m pleased to see Lara residents have written in (to council),” he said. “I’m preparing a motion so the State Government understands that residents want more police in

the town.” Cr Granger said a lack of police in neighbouring suburbs meant Lara officers were forced to attend incidents outside the town. “There is not enough police in northern Geelong. Whenever there is an emergency, police from Lara might have to go to Corio, leaving a small presence in Lara.” Council election candidate Kylie Grzybek believed Lara’s growing population required ongoing police presence. “We only have two lots of patrols on during the day at Lara and no patrol at night,” she said. “We have to rely on the Corio police station, which is a busy station.” Mr Grzybek said introduction of a 24-hour station would reduce crime at Lara. “It’s a good deterrent to know there’s police available in the area.”

Bannockburn rezonings

Pair critical

Preparing to ‘boom’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN BANNOCKBURN is rezoning tracts of land to accommodate new arrivals ahead of a forecast population boom, according to planning documents. The documents show 18 lots bounded by High, Weston, Manifold and Bruce streets have been rezoned from farmland to residential one. The documents said the rezoning was necessary to ensure sufficient land supply to meet forecast demand. Planning strategies aimed to provide enough land for residential, commercial, retail, industrial and recreational uses, the documents said. The rezoning would also ensure the provision of infrastructure to support sustainable urban development. The expansion would accommodate projected population growth over at least a 15-year period. A draft G21 regional growth plan said Golden Plains Shire will grow from 18,000 to 33,000, with Bannockburn swelling to 13,500. “The land to be rezoned is connected to reticulated services such as sewer and water, is close to existing residen-

tial land and walking distance to the town centre,” the plan said. “The town boundary for Bannockburn remains unchanged and is vital in ensuring development does not encroach into viable agricultural land.” Golden Plains Shire Mayor Geraldine Frantz said Bannockburn had experienced an “unprecedented” level of population growth. “Bannockburn is the shire’s largest and fastest growing population centre.” Cr Frantz said population growth was a key driver of community and economic prosperity. Council had undertaken a detailed review of its urban design framework for the town, she said. “It is imperative we continue to plan strategically to make sure there’s a focused approach to overcoming the challenges growth will bring to our region over the coming years and to take advantage of the opportunities.” Key elements of planning included an expansion of Bannockburn Business Park as well as recreation and education precincts.

THE FINANCIAL performance of Aloca’s Point Henry smelter had gone from bad to worse before a $40 million government rescue package this week, according to its boss. Alcoa of Australia managing director Alan Cransberg said the smelter was already making “substantial losses” when the company announced a review then deteriorated further due to “global market conditions”.

Cats saved GOLD Coast lifesavers have rescued two Geelong Cats players from a rip at a notorious surf beach. Mathew Stokes and Taylor Hunt were with the team at Kurruwa Beach as part of a week-long training camp in Queensland ahead of the Cats’ match with Gold Coast Suns this weekend.

Residents arrive THE FIRST residents have moved into Armstrong Creek’s urban growth area, developers have announced. A spokesperson said Luke Eglin and his family had moved into their home in Warralily estate’s Mistybrook Plc last Friday.

Cats 500 short of membership target amid works BY VANESSA VALENZUELA GEELONG Football Club is 500 members from reaching its 2012 target of 40,000, according to a spokesperson. The Cats reached 39,456 members this week, up 206 on the same time last year. Cats consumer business manager Craig

Armstead said the club had already reached its budgetary target of 38,400, with over 5000 new members joining in 2012. The club’s initial goal was 1000 members less than last year because of stand redevelopment works at Simonds Stadium, he said. “Because of the redevelopment we lost a num-

ber of seats for fans. It’s been a difficult year with the construction going on here.” Mr Armstead said the Cats still hoped to reach their long-term target of 40,000 members before the end of the season. Supporters could still buy 2012 memberships but would be ineligible for finals tickets, he said.

Grey area A $89,000 planning process will “identify suitable development options” for Lorne’s Point Grey, according to Great Ocean Road Coast Committee. The committee said it would use the money to “engage specialist planning and design services” to develop the plan for the area.

Clean opportunities AUSTRALIA’S carbon tax and federal funding for clean energy projects will create “real opportunities” for Geelong’s indigenous community, according to a “dynamic Aboriginal media, communications and events management agency”. Sydney-based Vibe Australia said the initiatives would help the community make a “transition to a clean-energy future”.

Track shock: Barrabool’s John George and Heather Wellington with other angry residents. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 83740 Industries provided funding. “Although there’s an obligation for Motorcycling Australia to re-seed it, much of the damage is on very steep and fragile areas where reseeding is likely to be impossible or ineffective.” Ms Wellington described the new tracks as a “scar” on the hills. “As a result of the activities

at the weekend, soil is piled up in berms at each corner of the track. “The longer-term effect of the damage to the land will be further significant erosion as soon as there is more rain, because of the steepness of some of the damaged areas, and permanent scarring. “The visual damage is

appalling.” Mr Wellington said the damage had “devastated” Barrabool residents. National Trust recognises Barrabool Hills as an “area of high scenic quality”. Motorcycling Australia was unable to provide comment before the Independent went to press on Wednesday afternoon.

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN GEELONG Motocross Club is under investigation for allegedly breaching its land protection agreement on McAdam Park, Surf Coast Shire has revealed. The shire told residents who complained last month about damage to the Barrabool site that council would “be active” in ensuring the club’s compliance with the management plan. The shire said it was also withholding $100,000 of promised funding from park owners Motorcycling Australia for failing to provide “an acceptable strategic plan”. Barrabool’s Heather Wellington said the motocross club had “severely damaged” land adjoining the McAdam Park track during a private event on June 16 and 17. The club had a responsibility as a tenant to adhere to the management plan protecting the “significant” site, she said. “One of the tasks in the plan is to protect lot two from soil erosion. The gullies were extensively and repeatedly ridden over and the sloping land is now a huge mess of chopped-up soil, which will erode with rainfall.” Ms Wellington said the motocross club had destroyed the site only a year after re-sowing of the rear lot, for which Department of Primary

Retail giant to Target kiddies GEELONG-BASED retail giant Target will appeal to the untapped five-year-olds market to boost turnover, chief Dene Rogers has announced. Mr Rogers said Target wanted to communicate “effectively” with young children. The company’s marketing plan now included an online children’s shopping facility, he said. The plan would be part of a fouryear Target transformation into a “sustainable growth company”. “The vision is to become the leading mid-tier department store,” Mr Rogers told a strategy briefing day for parent company Wesfarmers. “Target offers a wide range of unique and exclusive products in this age bracket that we are not communicating effectively at this

stage. “We have traditionally focussed on promoting children’s products to their parents but do have plans to change this by communicating with children directly utilising the marketing channels they are most exposed to.” Mr Rogers said the channels included age-appropriate magazines and TV stations “that parents can trust” as well as social media. “It’s our goal to captivate children through our marketing and excite them about our broad product range so that ultimately Target will become a first choice for children and parents alike.” Mr Rogers said the Target brand must become more relevant to children. “To achieve this we will create

even more unique products which excite children and that parents want to buy, communicated to them in an interesting and informative way. “Branding and icons are as meaningful to children as they are to adults, so we will establish strategic partnerships and create products that children aspire to buy. “When offering branded or icon endorsed products we will use a mix of traditional and new marketing channels including an online facility where children can learn to shop online safely. “Given the growing preference for online shopping, this is of benefit to parents who can teach their children how to shop online safely while being supervised.”

JPs sign on to help Geelong’s police

BY HOLLY ROSKOSCH JUSTICES of the Peace are now signing paperwork in Geelong to take pressure off police resources, according to their roster coordinator. Joan Scott said JPs were handling birth, death and marriage certificates at the city’s police station after completing training to replace police officers as signatories. “This comes to the delight of the police because before they were the only ones who could do it. Now the police can focus on their other duties rather than

doing administrative work.” Ms Scott said JPs had pushed for the role because they were already responsible for witnessing and signing various documents. “This is neither an overload nor burden. Justices of the Peace are happy with the situation.” Ms Scott said 26 volunteers were now signing around 2500 documents a month at the station. Corio Police Station was also seeking volunteers to help sign its average 280 documents. Ms Scott said prospective volunteers could phone her on 5241 4866 or 0439 018 086.

Panel nod for Lonsdale plan existing vegetation (both native and exotic) for the golf course extension and the residential subdivision and the replanting/rehabilitation of land not affected by fairways and greens.” Club president John Calnin said the decision was a major step forward for the project, which still needed state and federal environmental approvals. Geelong’s council then had to adopt a planning amendment before returning to Planning Minister Matthew Guy for final approval. Mr Calnin hoped the process would be finished before the end of the year but said October’s council elections could cause a delay. Geelong Environment Council

president Joan Lindros said the redevelopment would cost the environment dearly “all for a little bit of pleasure”. The project would also “stuff up” a boutique golf course, she said. “They have to clear hundreds of trees, replant them and construct new holes. It’s a pie-in-the sky proposal. “It’s taking away wetlands and sites for migratory birds that are needed way into the future beyond the life of the golf course. “It’s all put aside for a little bit of pleasure. “There are no guarantees this will be completed because the club is already struggling financially and golf courses all over the world are struggling.” 1038042-KS27-12

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN LONSDALE Golf Club has welcomed a green light for major redevelopment but Geelong’s leading community environmental group has slammed the decision. A planning panel decision, delayed several months after illness struck down the panel’s president, has approved the project, including a 100-lot residential subdivision fronting Fellows Rd. The redevelopment will also upgrade and extend the existing golf course toward Lake Victoria. “The proposal involves a substantial extension and reconstruction of the existing golf course,” the panel’s report said. “It will require the removal of

FEDERAL opposition leader Tony Abbott has visited Geelong to launch the Liberals’ campaign to win back Australia’s most marginal seat. Mr Abbott toured fertilizer manufacturer Incitec Pivot before opening “Liberal House” in Belmont’s High St on Monday, the day after the start of the Gillard Government’s carbon tax. Mr Abbot used the opening to launch Liberal candidate Sarah Henderson’s campaign for Corangamite. Ms Henderson said Liberal House would be a base for campaigning against a Labor-Greens government that had let down the region “so badly”. “We believe that the people of Corangamite need an election as soon as possible to repeal Labor’s toxic carbon tax,” she said. “I am acutely aware of the task ahead to win back the seat of Corangamite.” Ms Henderson lost the 2010 election to Labor incumbent Darren Cheeseman but reduced his margin to .4 per cent. She won Liberal preselection last month to recontest the seat at

the next election. Ms Henderson used Mr Abbott’s visit to focus attention on the carbon tax, which she said would cost Incitec Pivot $1.5 million extra a year in electricity costs. Households would also suffer, she said. “The cost of living pressures imposed by the carbon tax will impact right across our region.” Labor Member for Corio Richard Marles attacked Mr Abbott for bringing his campaign against the carbon tax to Geelong. “It is an absolute disgrace that Mr Abbott should come to Geelong and scare the community with exaggerated and dishonest claims about the impact of the carbon price,” Mr Marles said. “The Gillard Government is providing support for families, support for industry to transition to a cleaner economy. “As we have all seen today, the sky has not fallen in. Everyday prices are the same as they were yesterday.”

Father furious after playground fault slashes son’s leg

NO DEBT..!

Hole of horror The shire’s response was “impersonal”, Mr Stevens said. “As any parent would do, I contacted the shire immediately to have the hole closed. “I wasn’t planning to claim any money from the incident but all I received was an impersonal letter from their Melbourne claims unit.” Mr Stevens said the shire made him “feel like a fraudulent gangster trying to steal money”. The shire filled the hole the next day but Mr Stevens remained “angry” about the lack of any apology. He said the shire’s claims consultancy told him he could not contact the shire about the incident

and that “no further correspondence was required” unless Noah was five per cent permanently impaired. “If that’s the procedure, how does this community get better and safer for our kids?” Mr Stevens said he would have been satisfied if council had simply “admitted liability and offered a McDonald’s voucher”. Slater and Gordon personal injury lawyer Katalin Blond said the shire’s public liability cover would have required referral of the incident directly to the insurer. “Most insurance policies require that the policyholder doesn’t compromise their rights (by admitting liability).”

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN A TORQUAY father wants an apology from Surf Coast Shire after his eight-year-old son seriously injured his leg in an exposed hole beside a playground. Matt Stevens said Noah was playing in a Quay Estate park near the corner of Fischer St and Beachcomber Lane when he slipped into the PVC “breathing hole” on June 19. Noah split open his shin so badly doctors were having trouble keeping the wound closed, Mr Stevens told the Independent. He took Noah for treatment before informing the shire of the “dangerous hazard”.

Face off: Peter Brusco demonstrates the new mobile video conferencing system. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 83662

Uni mobile with Cisco

1038907-KG27-12

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN DEAKIN University’s video conferencing is going mobile with a new face-to-face anywhere-anytime system rolling out across the organisation. Deakin’s eSolutions executive director Peter Brusco said the Cloudbased system would revolutionise staff and student interaction. “This is the future and it’s a key part of Deakin’s digital strategy,” Mr Brusco said. The Jabber system, developed by technology partner Cisco, can connect individuals or groups face-to-face while also acting as a file exchange. Mr Brusco said participants on video calls could send files such as documents, PowerPoint presentations, emails or photos. Deakin had rolled out the system to 200 video-equipped meeting room and lecture theatres, desktop and latop computers. Tablet computers such as iPads would be next, with the system also rolling out to smartphones, he said. Cisco chose Deakin as the first

“beta site” for the system. “People can use Jabber at home, in a cafe, here or on the other side of the world, in fact anywhere you can get an internet connection,” Mr Brusco said. “Lectures can be streamed to individual students and it lessens the need to have a number of people in the same place at the same time. “It means the distance education dream comes alive and introduces the anywhere office, with more people using hot-desks instead of having a standard office where they sit for a standard number of hours. “It saves time and improves productivity. “It also takes the load off our physical infrastructure, like lecture rooms.” Mr Brusco said the system could eventually become standard in home settings, using internet-connected large flat screens to connect absent family members. “The NBN will really help because the system needs good connectivity, although it works fine with current connections.”

Road HOGs ride on Join the club JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THEY’RE known as HOGs, wear black leathers and ride loud motorbikes – but they’re nice people, really. So nice, in fact, that members of the Geelong chapter of Harley Owners Group raised more than $27,000 for charity last year. The HOGs’ main fundraiser is an annual toy run, this year for the 20th time. Toy run committee member Vicki Humpage said more than 1000 bikes were expected on the pre-Christmas run from Cunningham Pier to Queenscliff. While the toy run is one of the more high profile events on the HOG calendar, Vicki said the chapter supported charities without publicity. Rainbow Riders representative Rikki Raadsveld was recently invited to speak at the May HOG meeting at Hotham Hotel. Rikki said she was surprised and delighted to receive a donation of $3000 from the HOGs. Rainbow Riders, one of Geelong’s smallest children’s charities, is a unique program providing specialised horse-based therapy programs. “Our sincere thanks go to all members of the Harley Owners Group for their ongoing interest and support provided to Rainbow Riders.” Vicki said group members also helped out at Rainbow Riders’ Connewarre property. “We saw the situation they were in. They rely solely on community funds and donations, so we asked Rikki to come along to have a chat at our meeting. “We normally don’t give cash but we like to get a wish list from an organisation and see whether we can provide the items.” Vicki said other beneficiaries of HOG philan-

High on the HOG: Toy run committee members Craig Martin, Vicki Humpage, Marie Vella and Tim Humpage. Picture Tommy Ritchie 83522 on you forget what profession or trade they are. “It’s a form of escapism, I suppose. “We never cause trouble, so we just push on and do what we do. You’re not going to change some people’s perception.” Vicki said the toy run was an open event, so anyone with a motorcycle could participate. The HOGs have a fundraising raffle with a 2012 883 Harley Sportster as the major prize. Vicki said tickets cost $5 a ticket, with the winner to be drawn at the end of the toy run in December. More information on Geelong Harley Owners Group activities or its 2012 20th Anniversary Toy Run was available by phoning Vicki on 0418 570 188, she said.

thropy included Bethany, Cottage by the Sea and Geelong Hospital. “Any good publicity we can get is greatly appreciated. We supply bikes for the muscular dystrophy ride and give the kids rides on Harleys.” When the group is not raising funds, members love nothing more than to get on their bikes and ride. “We have club rides every other Sunday. You can get 20 or 30 bikes in a group and I know it can look intimidating,” Vicki said. “But I’m in my 50s and ride on back with my husband who works for the CFA. We’re just ordinary people who love to get out on the open road. “It’s the freedom and camaraderie. They’re a great group of people and once they get the leathers

Drenched June defies predictions of drought WHAT an amazing month of rain was June! The whole region received well-above average rain, much to the delight of farmers and water managers but to the horror of long-range forecasters whose expected southern Victoria would return to drought. Geelong’s urban area received over double its normal June total, recording 102mm compared to 42mm. The Bellarine Peninsula, Golden Plains and Otways areas were also well-above. Most of Geelong’s rain came in two bursts when 60.2mm was recorded from June 3 to 5 for the month’s wettest consecutive three days since 1952. Mt Sabine, at the edge of our West Barwon catchment, achieved a record 283mm over this period. Ironically, since then the local rain gauge has malfunctioned and has yet to be repaired. However, a further 32.6mm was recorded in Geelong from June 21 to 22 and much more in other places around the region. The Otways’ Weeaproinah recorded the region’s highest monthly total, 337mm. Both of June’s significant rain events were caused by low-pressure systems with vigorous cold fronts.

Under the weather LINDSAY SMAIL The first was termed an east-coast low, which slowly retrogressed from the northwest to bring wrap-around rain over Geelong from the south and southeast until it moved away over Tasmania. The second drenching came typically from the west, with several cold fronts tapping in to a much wetter cloud mass propagating from the Indian Ocean. On this occasion Geelong’s rain-shadow effect was nullified. The average daily minimum temperature at Breakwater was 6.8C and maximums 13.8C. The temperatures for the month were a marginal .5C lower than Geelong’s average, with the days colder but nights slightly warmer. Despite the heavy rain and colder days, the month was generally settled, with only June 4 recording any wind gust over 60km/h. Two frosts were recorded, with the lowest minimum, .8C, arriving on June 27.

BOUQUETS to Affordable Radiators’ Phil Campbell. I had a hole in my radiator, preventing me driving to Melbourne. Phil replaced the radiator so I was able to visit mum. I was impressed with the service even though Phil was so busy. CT, St Albans Park BUCKETS to VicRoads, which is responsible for unkempt medium strips on particular roads. It blamed a contractor but a new one cleaned them up once and never returned. Who checks the contractors’ work? Even when the strips are mowed grass is allowed to blown into drains, causing flooding. Disgusted Resident, Grovedale

BUCKETS to netters for wiping out all the fish off Clifton Springs. I was out fishing and they told me to get out of the way. They’ve taken all the fish, anyway. They shouldn’t be allowed in Corio Bay. They should show some guts and go offshore. Mr Brown, Clifton Springs

BOUQUETS to responsible chook owners for working to keep rats away. Buckets of rat urine and faeces to others who don’t make the effort, causing problems for everyone around them. Grow Brains, Portarlington BUCKETS of you-know-what to a lowlife who in the middle of the night, in the middle of winter, thoughtlessly broke our car’s windscreen wipers, leaving us unable to drive our car. This reckless, selfish and unnecessary vandalism might seem minor but the inconvenience, cost and anger were significant. David, Newtown

BUCKETS to Disgusted Grandma (Buckets and Bouquets, June 29) for complaining about “whips, gags and heavy metal kind of stuff”. What does a music style have to do with sex shops? Do you always broadly generalise while grouping together things you don’t understand? Stop telling others how to live. Wilbur, Highton

BUCKETS to a business that hides the Independent down the back or in corners. The Independent is free for residents and visitors who want to know what’s happening around the community. The Independent should be placed at the entrance to the shop. Age Pensioner, St Leonards BOUQUETS to OfficeWorks’ Peter for his help finding a replacement fax ink roll. His customer service was excellent. RSPCA Girls, Newtown BOUQUETS to Sarah for stopping to help us after an accident at a roundabout on Rossack Dve, Waurn Ponds, on June 1. We were all shaken up but she took charge and phoned police and ambulance services then stayed to make sure we were okay. The world needs more Sarahs. Robyn, Waurn Ponds BUCKETS to a Geelong newspaper for a big, bold headline last Friday. Do you think the victim would want to have seen it? Shame on you. Very Hurtful, Bell Post Hill BOUQUETS to the kind person who handed in my wallet at ALDI on a Saturday afternoon. Grateful Oldie, Belmont BOUQUETS to Nevada Roasts’ Chris and the team for excellent birthday catering.

FOR THOSE that missed the subtle references, my letter in the June 15 Independent was not entirely serious. Bob Zanker was right: it would be extremely sad to see anybody convinced by Alan Barron’s grand delusions of a global conspiracy on climate change. Conspiracy theories can’t easily be debunked, though. All that can be done is to ignore, or make fun of those who engage in it to the extent of Mr Barron. Richard Muller’s research, which, as Mr Zanker said, agrees almost exactly with climate change scientists, is important given he was a sceptic sponsored by sceptics but unable to find flaws in the basic science. It’s a further confirmation science is not broken. That 2005 is now the hottest year on record is exactly confirmation the climate is warming. To go on to say it has been cooling since then would make anyone look foolish. Surely people must have thought I’d lost my marbles thinking Earth was cooling because it was winter outside? Mr Zanker’s language, that I was “confused”, was way too polite! The rest of Australia, Geelong, most major newspapers have moved on from debating whether the world is warming yet the Independent still publishes letters from crackpots divulging in conspiracy theories. Sure, it’s good for a laugh but ecological collapse and erosion of the systems holding aloft our exceedingly complex civilization is not very funny. One day we’ll wake up but by then we won’t be laughing. Goshen Watts Belmont

All in the mind DARREN Thurrowgood (Letters, June 22) might be surprised to learn no one controls my mind other than me. I am quite capable of thinking for myself, as are the 10 million-plus people who voted at the 2010 election. If he is so concerned other people are so easily manipulated then he would agree with me that compulsory voting should be outlawed. The reference to theories of one-world government surely must have been meant as a joke. Kevin V Russell Geelong

In case of emergency I RECENTLY asked councillors whether they knew procedures in case of an emergency during a council meeting. I remarked that any notice of procedures was not evident at council’s meeting and that people in the gallery were not informed, as they ought. Mayor John Mitchell dismissed the point, saying it was obvious ratepayers present should follow the mayor to the nearest exit, which has a power-operated automatic door. I had to take that as an “informal response”. It is clear to us, the CFA and police that if a fire threatening a potential explosion breaks out at Geelong’s port, and we are in Norlane or Corio, that following the mayor to the nearest exit won’t do as safety advice. At the very least, everyone needs to know where the evacuation procedure notice can be found. I await with interest detail of published procedures that inform the public at this time of special concern in the CFA for carcinogenic chemicals and of exceptional seismic events in Victoria. Peter Linaker Ocean Grove

Rezoning appropriate CONTRARY to a report in last week’s Independent, headlined ‘Guy slashes grassland protection on BW site’, an environmental overlay has not been removed from Barwon Water’s Heales Rd site. City of Greater Geelong is proposing an amendment that would replace an existing environmental

significance overlay with a native vegetation precinct plan across the entire Geelong Ring Road Employment Precinct. The City’s proposed plan, developed following a detailed flora survey of the area, shows there is no native vegetation on Barwon Water’s Heales Rd site. Barwon Water’s successful application to rezone a parcel of land at 125 Heales Rd, Corio, from Public Use Zone to Industrial Zone 2 did not change or remove the planning controls for native grasslands in the area. The rezoning amendment included applying an environmental audit overlay to the site to ensure future uses are cognisant of its history as an effluent treatment facility. The overlay has no relation to native vegetation controls in the area. The land was identified in a review of Barwon Water sites as being surplus to requirements. It has been leased to another party since 1993. Given Barwon Water no longer uses the land, it was appropriate to rezone it from public use to industrial. Joe Adamski Barwon Water interim managing director

Wake-up call WELCOME all to Australia. We add waste hydrofluorosilicic acid, or fluoride, to our water supply. Many overseas countries are deleting this toxic chemical because of serious health repercussions. We import furniture, clothing, footwear and food et cetera that are not accepted by other countries because of health concerns due to toxic chemicals added during manufacture and production. We sell much of our manufacturing and real estate to overseas countries to the detriment of our farmers and producers. We accept migrants who do not wish to embrace our traditions or values, which many of our forebears fought and died for in the past. Wake up, Australia, ask questions, insist on answers.

OUTDOOR FURNITURE CLEARANCE

AN ABC report recently stated that electricity prices were, as usual, rising. Power distribution assets are government and private monopoly-owned. One reason cited for rising electricity costs is that funds are needed to pay for ageing infrastructure. However, service charges on gas and electricity have been in place a long time. Have they been used to maintain infrastructure? This is doubtful because failing assets have been a problem for just as long. Maintenance has been done only on an ad hoc basis, the fees and charges probably used as a means of achieving extra profit. All in all, the need to maintain infrastructure should be covered by service charges and if this is not the case then the power companies should be made to reveal to where the loot raised from these charges has disappeared. On the issue of government-owned assets, the infrastructure has been paid for by taxes and the maintenance of these similarly funded by tax revenues. Are we in a situation of double and triple dipping? With government use of the commercial-in-confidence defence, clarity on this issue may never be achieved. And how many times must consumers be charged for the same thing? As for the carbon tax, our Constitution states that one instance of taxation is permissible per item. However, service charges, the CO2 tax and GST makes three taxes on electricity. Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

Bangin’ on with Clairy BY CHERIE DONNELLAN VOCALIST Clairy Browne wants to be “today’s answer” to Tina Turner, wigs and all. “I’m into a bit of a wig. I could wear different colour hair every day,” Browne told the Independent. But the singer and her band, The Bangin’ Rackettes, “aren’t wearing costumes”, she declared. “We just dig this style. It’s like ‘Maybe I’ll wear a sequined f...king beaded gown today’,” Browne laughed. “We’re people who express ourselves through fashion and aesthetics and we have fun with it.” Browne’s strong, soulful vocals have just as much attitude as her fashion style. “I like being aesthetically and musically big.” Browne said her band focussed on giving strong live performances. “Having musicians who really know how to play their instruments is important. It makes such a difference to the sound. “When (bassist) Jules and I were forming the band we specifically searched for talented musicians. “A good drummer means everything. I didn’t realise that until I’d

played with a few shitty drummers. “It’s a total gift as a singer to work with my band.” Browne joked that the band members were a “happy family of jazz vagrants”. They also had an eclectic fan base. “We get all sorts at our gigs. I think we attract people who dig musicality, dig the vibe of old rhythm and blues. Browne said the band had started working on music for its next album but the release date was uncertain. “We’re writing and recording, writing and recording.” Browne said the band’s gig at Queenscliff Music Festival’s Winter Warm Up this Saturday would feature old and new material, particularly tracks from debut album Baby Caught the Bus. “We’ll give that stuff a spin and a bit of new material, too. We’ll cook up something, I’m sure.” Browne said she attended the Queenscliff festival “in her youth” but had yet to play the event. “There’s a number of different, cool people on the line-up. “There’s a great vibe and excellent music choices, so I’m definitely looking forward to it.”

Flood of tragedy set for new play in Geelong debut

Attitude: Clairy Browne brings her band, The Bangin’ Rackettes, to Queenscliff this weekend.

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN LONDON’S rain has nothing on the floods that intermittently scour Australia’s outback, according to Jackie Smith’s The Flood. The award-winning Australian playwright drew from her own upbringing in South Australia’s Woomera and later New South Wales’ Deniliquin to tell a “tragic” story of three women in a broken down farmhouse. The play’s producer, Moira Finucane, spoke to the Independent about Smith’s “genius”, “stark reality” and Australian humour ahead of The Flood’s Geelong debut. Smith’s authentically Australian dry humour juxtaposed against the setting of rising floods created an “extraordinary play”, Finucane said. “Jackie’s ear for Australian language and her really particular dry humour is incredible. “The story is dark and mysterious. Its tragedy is quite beautiful, so the play is partly sad and partly hilarious.” Finucane said the story unfolded when lead character Catherine, played by Caroline Lee, returned from London to her family home after a 20-year absence. Catherine was back to visit mother Janet, played by Shirley Cattunar, and sister Dorothy, (Maude Davey), when rising floodwaters trapped the three women. “The flood is a metaphor for the way truth always floats to the surface,” Finucane said. She described the script as “a bit of a whodunnit” but remained tightlipped on the “mystery” the women uncovered during their ordeal. “People will just have to come and see these three amazing actresses play their roles so brilliantly.”

eelong not-forprofit youth organisation Courthouse Arts will showcase a visionary community project this month. Visiting artist Emma Beech, along with Courthouse Arts’ Luke Elliott and team, will travel around Geelong next week to interview community members about their beloved city. The project creators of I Met Geelong the Other Day will create a communal narrative as a snapshot-in-time of Geelong. The Courthouse Arts team will ask a cross-section of the Geelong community “What makes your day worth it?” Mayor John Mitchell will be involved in sharing stories for the project. Emma, Luke and the Courthouse Arts crew will use the interviews to create theatrical and visuals at Courthouse Arts Theatre on Saturday, July 14. The project team will unveil a special performance piece reflecting the stories Geelong community members tell during the interviews. “We want to capture an image of Geelong and the people within it,” project manager Liz Ryan said. “We’re very excited about this project.” Courthouse Arts aims to nurture emerging artists in the Geelong region. Based in the heart of Geelong’s arts precinct, Courthouse Arts is an artistic hub in which young people can meet, feel at home and be inspired to develop their creative ideas by providing them with a variety of in-house projects and workshops. The live art showcase will be open to the general public at 5pm on July 14, with free entry. Courthouse Arts Theatre is on the corner of Lt Malop and Gheringhap Sts.

arents can make their children the talk of the schoolyard with parties hosted at Geelong’s newest children’s party venue, Partytime! Hip Hip Hooray. Partytime! Hip Hip Hooray was created by local mums Simone and Jane, who have six young children between them. They identified demand in Geelong for a venue not only catering for boys and girls but where the party had sole use of the premises. “We have five standard themes, including pamper and craft themes for children to choose from,” Jane explains. “Our science theme allows children to participate in science experiments and they get to take home things like slime that they’ve made.

• Horse riding lessons • A horse riding party • An animal farm party • A Bmx party • An archery party, or a combined party • An accredited Geelong equine course • Horse riding day camps • Horse agistment

Partytime! Hip Hip Hooray’s Jane and Simone can host children’s parties with a variety of themes.

IC! MUS TS! LIGHON! I ACT

“Our rock star theme allows children to come in and have their hair sprayed different colours, get a temporary tattoo and then sing on stage in our disco room.” Jane says Partytime! Hip Hip Hooray can also cater for other speciality themes such as favourite characters. “Our packages are all-inclusive, so parents don’t need to organise a thing. Everything from invitations through to party food, prizes and gift bags are provided.” Jane also makes a fantastic range of cakes that can be created to match in with party themes. The venue is newly renovated and private, with the atmosphere of a home party without the stress and mess of being in the host’s actual home.

oxfit Geelong is now taking enrolments for its Training in the Tropics September fitness camp. The two-week course in Thailand will incorporate muay Thai boxing and fitness principles. Boxfit head trainer Brad Pedersen says the “training holiday” is open to people of all ages and skill levels. Participants will see “rapid weight loss” and increased fitness, while boxing enthusiasts could “enhance their serious combat skills”, he says. The trainers will help participants focus on healthy eating and detox programs during the camp to maximise training potential. “It’s very important to eat healthy while you’re training. People need to understand food for fuel principles,” Brad says. Participants will train at renowned muay Thai instructor Master Toddy’s world-class gyms in Bangkok and Phuket. “In my opinion, Master Toddy’s gyms are the best gyms in Thailand,” Brad says. Participants will train twice daily, except Sunday, in two-hour sessions but training attendance is not compulsory. “We’ll have a flexible training schedule for people needing time to recover,” Brad says Participants will also have free time to enjoy their holiday.

Boxfit’s Clint Alderton. “There are plenty of opportunities to sightsee and relax. We’ll be staying in resorts that will also be five minutes from the beach.” The Training in the Tropics package includes return airfares, accommodation, all training fees and most meals, with prices estimated from $2300 to $2500, subject to change. More information is available by phoning Brad on 0417 344 813 or visiting www.boxfitgeelong .com.au

‘Old-fashioned’ eating the best henever we turn on TV or open a newspaper we’re told about some product we shouldn’t eat because it’s detrimental to health. First it was salt because it hardened our arteries. Then fat because it would give us heart attacks and make us overweight. The lastest villain is sugar. Apparently it’s addling our brains and also making us fat. Obviously, the experts are trying to find a scapegoat for Australia’s plague of obesity. Fifty years ago there was hardly an obese person to be seen yet their diets comprised home cooking full of sugar, salt and fat. As a child I remember running bread around the roasting pan to soak up dripping. Why wasn’t our nation obese then? The answers are simple. First, food was made at home from scratch with fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, chicken or fish. We also ate only at meal times from 22cm plates – not the 29cm sizes that come with most dinner sets now. Our store shelves stocked 10 to 20 per cent of the products now available and which we are conned into buying because they are supposedly “lite”, “low fat”,

Stuck to the bitumen: It turns neatly into bends and holds onto the black stuff at speeds much higher than likely to be attempted by owners. to a 1.5-litre dCi turbocharged diesel engine. The engine is Euro 5 compliant and produces peak torque of 240 Nm at a low 1750 rpm, and 110 kilowatts at 4000 rpm. Power is run through the front wheels and there is no sign of torque steer even under hard acceleration. Renault claims the EDC transmission saves 17 per cent on emissions when compared to a conventional auto. Renault Megane has lovely on-road dynamics. The French really do love comfort and character in their cars and this five-door family hatch has a sporting feel that we enjoyed. At the same time it provides good feedback through the steering wheel and the seat of your pants. Renault is aiming the Megane fivedoor at a crowded segment of the Australian market. Competitors are big sellers like Volkswagen Golf, Toyota Corolla, Mazda3, Hyundai i30, Kia Cerato, and many more. The combination of a stunning French style, the convenience of a new-design automatic transmission and a pretty low price for the prestige of a owning a European car seems sure to guarantee the latest Renault Megane strong sales downunder.

BY ERIC BLAIR enault’s Megane is a mediumsized car that’s very much part of the mainstream car line-up in Europe where the French marque sells millions of cars every year. No one could ever accuse the French of producing boring cars and the Megane hatch is living proof of a beautifully sculpted five-door hatch. It is short but rakish and looks great on the road thanks to short front and rear overhangs. At 4.3 metres long it could play the role of a family car for two adults and two kids. Megane has been one of the strong sellers in the revamped Renault lineup so it makes sense to offer buyers the choice a 1.5-litre diesel engine to complement the existing 2.0-litre petrol engine. While 1.5 litres seems rather small, this is a thoroughly modern powerplant that puts out 240 Newton metres of torque at just 1750 rpm, with strong output above and below that number that allows it to pulls very low revs in normal driving. The engine is connected to a dualclutch transmission, again in the interests of improving economy. Like all of its type it can be irritating in its characteristics at very low speed, but works very well above about five km/h. Double-clutch automated manual transmissions have been around for a few years now and Renault has just introduced a six-speed unit. It calls new transmission Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC). This automatic transmission is the main reason we retested the Megane diesel hatch. Double-clutch transmissions make super-quick gear changes – faster than humanly possible – and offer reduced fuel consumption compared with a conventional automatic. In Megane hatch under review, the six-speed EDC transmission is linked

sport Saints to keep faith LEOPOLD and St Mary’s meet in Geelong Football Leagues match of the day at Memorial Park on Saturday. Both sides regained confidence last weekend with strong victories after a month of ordinary form. Leopold in particular would be happy to be back on the winners list because a month ago it was cruising toward finals but that is no longer the case. It’s still in fifth spot but that’s because of the outstanding form it showed at the very start of the year. St Mary’s is seventh and victory in this game is vital to keep pressing for the top five. Everyone knows the Saints are capable because only a month ago they inflicted South Barwon’s only loss for the year. Josh Eddy, Brenton Snowdon and Daniel Jull are getting back into the groove and maybe a return to top form is around the corner. Expect that to be the case as the Saints keep their finals hopes alive with a narrow victory. Other selections: Colac v ST JOSEPH’S, Grovedale v WEST SAINTS, Lara v BELL PARK, NEWTOWN v St Alban’s, SOUTH BARWON v North Shore.

Local Footy FRANK MASON Tigers’ finals chances but proved that if they don’t make it then they’re not just making up the numbers but are a real premiership hope. With Ross Dillon and Matt Tyquin playing well the Tigers are hard to stop and, with victory on Saturday helping to secure fifth spot, expect a determined side to grace the field. Inverleigh has put its horrible start to the year behind it and is now racking up victories. James Huybens, Dan Grozdanovski and Zach Hickleton are in everything but it’s hard to see the Hawks playing finals this year. It’s possible but they’ll have to keep winning. This game presents the Hawks with a golden opportunity to damage their rival’s finals chances and boost their own. This incentive will bring out its best but it’s unlikely the Hawks have enough talent to win. Other selections: North Geelong v EAST GEELONG, Werribee Centrals v BELL POST HILL, Belmont Lions v THOMSON, CORIO v Winchelsea, ANAKIE v Geelong West. Bellarine Football League has a bye this weekend.

Saturday’s Geelong and District Football League is highlighted by the Bannockburn and Inverleigh game at Victoria Park. These two sides have a fierce rivalry going back many years and always save their best for each other. The Tigers are playing good footy at the moment and last week scored an unexpected victory over fourth placed East Geelong. This victory not only helped the

Schooled: Mick Knight with a school shark caught off Barwon Heads.

Yak attack: Jaryd McDowell’s snapper caught from a kayak in Corio Bay.

Cold anglers warm to big bay snapper SNAPPER dominated reports over the past week, with Corio Bay’s inner-harbour the hot destination. Luke Hanneysee caught a pair of 6.2kg and 4.8kg on fresh pilchard with the help of berley. Hobie kayaker Jaryd McDowall reported one of the best captures. Jaryd returned from just off St Helens with two fantastic snapper better than 6kg each. Paul Farnsworth fished Stingaree Bay’s spoil grounds where he found only small snapper until the Sun went down. Paul caught six big fish before returning with three up to 7.2kg. Land-based anglers found snapper at Point Lillias, North Shore rocks and St Helens, with a variety of baits successful. This weekend’s evening high tides should be ideal for snapper close to the channel line on the mud out from the silos piers. North Shore rocks or near the old Rippleside tug pier should also be worthwhile. Matthew Nicholas drifted the outer-harbour spoil grounds to find variety of species taking his soft plastic lures, with salmon, flathead and snapper taken in numbers. Matthew also landed two nice squid on his Gulp minnows.

On the bite BRIAN LONG Garfish started to become difficult to catch, although they were still available at Point Lillias. Berley is essential, with only calm conditions productive. Paul Cowley fished Wilson Spit where the going was slow, with just a few small flathead in four hours of fishing. He was just about to call it a day just on dark when a rod folded with a magnificent 11.4kg gummy shark. Gummy sharks were also taken inside Swan Bay. All the fish reported were generally small but the numbers suggest long, cold hours on the bay could be worthwhile in coming weeks. Terry Forbes has been harassing the squid at St Leonards for some time, finding reasonable numbers of specimens around 1kg when the water is clean. Terry

advised that small, dark coloured jigs have been working best. Queenscliff Pier produced salmon just under 1kg on the run-in tide, with lure outfishing bait. Silver trevally were taken in the cut at Queenscliff on the last two hours of the run-in tide. Some were caught on bait but soft plastics returned better bags. I found plenty of salmon down the coast. Most were under 1kg but the sheer numbers made for great fishing at Cinema Point on the run-up to high tide. Peter Shields also found salmon at Stony Creek, landing over 20 on lure. Wye River below the cable station also produced good numbers of salmon, with both bait and lure anglers taking fish during high tide. Freshwater reports were widespread, with Lake Learmonth producing rainbow trout averaging 1.5kg on Powerbait, glassies and bluebait. Nearby, Lake Burrumbeet also yielded rainbows to 1.7kg on similar baits. Newlyn Reservoir was a great choice for Noel Stirling who cast small bibbed lures to land three nice brown trout

around 1.5kg. Noel said the best fishing was early in the afternoon. Deep Lake also improved, with both browns and rainbows taken on Powerbait and lure. Again, early afternoon returned the best results. Lake Bullen Merri remained a good option, with land-based anglers using Powerbait catching rainbows around 1kg. Anyone prepared to fish the lake into the night with local gudgeon could expect an opportunity to land one of the big brown trout for which this water is renowned. The few anglers who have been venturing offshore have taken quality school and gummy shark when conditions have been calm. Mick Knight boated some but lost his share of school shark as a result of using light nylon leader. This weekend’s best options would be fishing for snapper on Corio Bay or for salmon in the surf if the conditions allow, with great numbers available from the deep water rock platforms between Lorne and Apollo Bay.
