Quantity over quality on family time, Dwayne tells GC HE PLAYED alongside Cats legend Gary Ablett Snr, and now he calls the play as a sports commentator on radio and pay TV.

He invited the summer edition of Geelong Coast Magazine (GC) into his family life, split between homes in Highton and Fairhaven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe in quantity time rather than quality time,â&#x20AC;?

Study: Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drunks crackdown a failure

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN

GEELONG nightlife initiatives including ID scanners, two-way radios and education campaigns have failed to reduce alcohol-related violence, according to a Deakin University study. The study found that licensing regulation in Newcastle reduced alcohol-related crime but voluntary measures in Geelong had no impact. Dealing with Alcohol-related Harm and the Night-time Economy was Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest study into drunken nightlife crime. The study compared the effectiveness of Newcastleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prevention measures through licensing regulation against Gee-

longâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voluntary programs between 2005 and 2010. Deakin researcher and study author Associate Professor Peter Miller said measures dealing directly with alcohol consumption had the greatest impact on reducing alcohol-related crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Limiting trading hours was found to be immediately effective in reducing the alcohol-related crime rates in Newcastle,â&#x20AC;? Prof Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This type of intervention comes at no cost to the community and frees up police and other emergency staff to deal with matters other than drunks and alcoholrelated violence and should be considered wherever alcohol-related violence is identified as a problem.â&#x20AC;?

included locking patrons out of clubs after 1.30am, closing venues by 3.30am, banning alcohol shots after 10pm and limiting the number of drinks served to individual patrons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found that the number of assaults in Newcastle dropped significantly during the study period while the interventions in Geelong had no impact,â&#x20AC;? Prof Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other findings included that strong, consistent policing using substantial personal fines is also effective but requires policing levels that are seldom sustained.â&#x20AC;? Geelong Nightlife Association president Darren Holroyd said the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s venues had supported the study. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Newcastle started from a lot lower

base because they had a lot more violence issues, so they had to be more drastic in their approach,â&#x20AC;? Mr Holroyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both approaches have some merit and had some impact (but) itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a combination of measures. The ones that really work have been ID scanners, closed-circuit TV, two-way radios, the safe taxi rank and improved street lighting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regular police patrols are by far the biggest deterrent.â&#x20AC;? Mr Holroyd said he believed violence in venues was at an all-time low but drugs and weapons had presented new challenges since the studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completion. The nightlife association was open to considering the impact of licensing regulation in Geelong, he said.

Study into bid for pokies Towing veteran fined after ‘acting on police request’ By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN

A council report said Sphinx Entertainment Centre had 57 pokies but was licensed for 63. The venue had bought 10 machines but needed approval for the four pokies over its licence. The Sphinx had provided a social and economic impact assessment arguing the extra pokies would not be detrimental to the community.

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A NORTH Geelong venue’s application to install extra pokies has sparked a council investigation. Councillors voted this week to undertake a social and economic impact statement on whether the 10 machines would hurt the community.

Fine for some: Cal Wise with his VicRoads fine. Picture: TOMMY RITCHIE 91572

OCEAN Grove service station’s Cal Wise has seen a lot of changes to the towing business but the latest left him shaking his head in disbelief. The 82-year-old has been in the towing business for more than 50 years but is furious over his treatment at the hands of VicRoads. Mr Wise said VicRoads fined him $1200 and his driver $200 for towing cars at the direction of police. “The VicRoads inspector said the cars were out of my area but we checked with the police at the scene and they checked with police command in Melbourne,” he said. “I was even given a job number. We attended because the police asked us to and leaving cars involved in an accident on the road is unsafe. “VicRoads accused me of towing without the car owner’s permission but the police and the car owners signed my job

sheet agreeing to have their cars towed.” Mr Wise said his fines followed sweeping changes to tow truck allocation areas, splitting Wallington and Drysdale “in half”. “It would be much better if they drew a radius out from Geelong Post Office for the Geelong towies and we shared the rest.” Mr Wise said the new arrangements risked delaying tow trucks as smashed cars blocked roads, compromising safety. VicRoads’ Dean Zabrieszach said a “self-management area of Geelong” was declared in September. “The area was established to ensure a fair distribution of accident towing jobs and avoid multiple tow trucks arriving at an accident scene,” he said. “Tow truck operators who do not hold a licence for this area cannot enter the allocation area for towing, which is stipulated as part of the licence.”

Cats sign zone-out By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A PUBLIC park zoning on Simmons Stadium is preventing Geelong Football Club selling advertising space on its proposed light towers, a council report has revealed. Geelong councillors this week agreed to ask Planning Minister Matthew Guy for an exemption to the advertising restrictions. A report to council said the club’s advertising request was

disallowed under a sensitive areas category of the public park and recreation zoning. The report said the club wanted to generate revenue from the advertising to help off-set electricity costs associated with the lights. The signage could include a six-metre-high full wraparound from the bottom of the pole, which could be removed and changed. The club also proposed pole

signage facing inward above the roof lines of the stadium. The signage would be in place for 12 months of the year. The club was seeking either promotion signage of less than 18 square metres or a major promotion sign of greater size. The report noted a precedent in Bendigo where the city’s council requested an exemption from the Minister. He intervened on the basis the benefit to the sporting com-

munity outweighed any impact on third parties. The report said the light towers would be set back from residential areas, while Moorabool St already contained signage “of a relatively robust commercial nature”. Council would seek the exemption on grounds that the type of advertising proposed was appropriate for the location and in time for the start of the 2013 AFL season, the report said.

Health cuts pain set to begin with beds, waits GEELONG Hospital faces its own D Day this Friday as Barwon Health’s board votes on how to accommodate a Federal Government mid-year budget cut of almost $5 million. More than a dozen hospital beds set to close and elective surgery waiting lists at risk of blowing out by 100 per cent to 12 months and longer – all effective immediately. The Gillard Government has cut $4.9 million in Barwon Health funding following a mid-year budget revision. The Government based the cuts

on figures putting Victoria’s forecast population growth next year at .03 per cent despite 1.5 per cent growth across the state in the past year. A bloody political row has broken out over the funding cuts, with Labor arguing it is spending an extra $900 million nationally over the next four years and attacking the Baillieu Government for $616 million in health funding cuts over the past two budgets. Victorian hospitals face a $1.6 billion cut over the next four years following the mid-year federal review. Health board chiefs met Federal Health Minister Tanya Plibersek this

week to vent their spleen over the unexpected cuts and their impact on current and future operations. Under the Federal Government cuts Colac Area Health will lose $255,000, Otway Health and Community Services $35,000, Lorne Community Hospital $32,000 and Hesse Rural Health $27,000. Geelong Hospital has a waiting list of 500-plus for orthopaedic surgery. The average wait of six months would double under the cuts. The forecast bed closures represent half a hospital ward. Labor’s Member for Corio Richard

Marles and Geelong MP Ian Trezise sheeted blamed Barwon Health’s woes on the Victorian Coalition Government. But Liberal candidate for Corangamite Sarah Henderson said Labor should stop blaming the states and join her in fighting the cuts. Ms Henderson had launched a petition calling on the Federal Government to reverse the cuts, she said. “Labor’s cuts to health across Corangamite and the Geelong region are heartless and extremely damaging. “These cuts will lead to job losses and a cut in health services.”

Triathlon a super opportunity for kids, says champ By MICHELLE HERBISON TRAINING in three sports for triathlons creates a constant challenge for champion Geelong triathlete Peter Kerr. The Australian under-23 national team representative and Geelong Multisport Festival’s Superkidz Triathlon ambassador said the sport was a personal battle as well as a competition. “It’s a good feeling to come across the line no matter where you are in the race – most people always have a personal time they’re trying to beat.” Kerr said. The Independent’s Superkidz Triathlon on February 9 would offer a great opportunity for children aged between seven and 13 years to get involved in the sport, he said. The event will be part of a third annual Geelong Multisport Festival from February 8 to 10. “I started doing triathlons when I was back in school. The more I improved at it, the more I enjoyed it and, before I knew it, it became a passion,” Kerr said. Kerr’s persistent training regime, often three sessions daily, recently earned him victory at a Noosa triathlon. Superkidz Triathlon competitors aged seven to 10 years will complete a 100m swim, a 3km cycle and a 500m run. Entrants aged 11 to 13 years will complete a slightly longer course comprising a 200m swim, a 5km cycle and a 1km run. Kerr encouraged children to start training. “The easiest thing is to get out for a run, riding to school’s always good and during summer there’s no reason you can’t get down to the beach for a swim. Before you know it you can easily achieve a triathlon.” Superkidz Triathlon entries are open online at www.geelonmultisport.com.au, by phoning 8698 2000 or emailing multisport@usmevents.com.au.

Gay march YOUNG homosexuals will march under a City of Greater Geelong banner at a pride march during Melbourne’s Midsumma Festival in February. Cr Jan Farrell, who will also march, said the presence would indicate council’s support for a Geelong Adolescent Sexuality Project to reduce homophobia.

Jobs petition A PETITION with 1500 signatures opposing job cuts at Queenscliff’s Marine and Freshwater Research Institute has landed in State Parliament, according to Bellarine MP Lisa Neville. Ms Neville, who tabled the petition, urged State Government to reinstate the “vital research jobs” of the institute’s “frontline” staff.

TWO BELLARINE Peninsula wineries have won five of 13 trophies at a French-Australian Chamber of Commerce wine awards, according to the properties’ director. Lindsay Sharp said Leura Park won three awards, including Wine of the Show, while sister winery Jack Rabbit Vineyard claimed two trophies including Best Sauvignon Blanc.

Students awarded TWO GEELONG students have won 2012 Duke of Edinburgh Gold Awards for achievement, according to organisers. They said Newtown’s Callum Narita, 18, and Torquay’s George Threadgold, 18, were among 100 Victorian youths to receive the awards, presented on Wednesday at Government House.

Pacific delegation CORIO’S Federal MP has led a delegation to the Pacific to emphasise Australia’s “vital engagement” with the region. Richard Marles said Australia was committed to working with Pacific island nations on problems including “economic development and gender inequality”.

GEELONG’S ring road is on track for completion in the middle of next year after the opening of its fivekilometre Anglesea Rd interchange, Federal Infrastructure and Transport Minister Anthony Albanese has announced. Mr Albanese said the completion of the $110 million 4B stage meant the 14,000 motorists using the ring road daily could now drive from Melbourne to the Surf Coast without encountering a traffic light.

Guy misogynist, councillors told PLANNING Minister Matthew Guy has told Surf Coast councillors “just do your job” after they voted to ask him for a formal apology over his criticism of council as “incompetent” and Mayor Libby Coker as “gutless”. Eight of the nine councillors voted on Tuesday night in favour of seeking the apology, with Rose Hodge saying Mr Guy had “just graduated from the Tony Abbott school of misogynists”. Mr Guy said Cr Hodge was just spreading Labor propaganda instead of “addressing real issues”. “I can’t imagine what ratepayers think about councillors spending the best part of their evening making comments like this instead of doing their job.”

‘Jobs’ in salt plans RIDLEY Corporation will pursue urban development opportunities for its $3.5 million Moolap and Lara salt fields despite opposition from environmentalists, according to the company’s chief. John Murray said the Moolap site had “potential to add a lot of value to the Geelong area and create jobs”. He was aware of negative reactions to the proposal but said residents should consider

what would happen to the site if was left disused. “The issues that arise if the Moolap site is not dealt with in some way far outweigh any negatives,” Mr Murray said. “It’s a low-lying area, so sea level rise will cause it go to under water and that will destroy what little environment there is now. “Basically, the development will have a seawall and waterway through the middle to provide protection against sea level rise and storm surges.”

Mr Ridley said the project would also clean up stormwater flowing through the site and into the bay. “I understand the environmental concerns but it’s a degraded industrial site and relies on artificial pumping to keep the water table up, otherwise the ponds would dry out. We’ll continue to pump the water but at end of lease who will do that? “Without some attention there’s no likelihood the habitat will survive.”

Mr Murray said plans would include more than 600 hectares of conservation reserve at Moolap and Lara. “I’m passionate that Ridley’s involvement has an outcome that’s environmentally, socially and economically positive for the region,” he said. “We’re long term citizens as well and I’m really excited. It’s been 120 years since the public had access to the foreshore there.”

Geelong potential surprises Greens leader By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GREENS leader Christine Milne experienced her first taste of Geelong this week and liked what she saw. “Geelong has huge potential and there are lots of unrealised opportunities here,” she declared. Senator Milne is on a lengthy familiarisation tour of regional and rural Australia since taking over the party leadership from Greens elder statesman Bob Brown. “I had visions of an industrial city but the waterfront is lovely,” she said. “There are unexpected lifestyle opportunities here.” Sen Milne said local leadership needed to determine Geelong’s brand as it went about selling the region to the rest of Australia. She acknowledged Geelong’s transitioning economy, saying it was essential Geelong continued “making things”. Allowing major manufacturers Shell, Ford and Alcoa to

GREEN DAY: Christine Milne with Geelong-based Greens senator Alex Di Natale on Tuesday. Picture: TOMMY RITCHIE 91614 run ageing infrastructure without investment out of fear they would close was a false economy, Senator Milne said.

“If you allow them to run down their facilities without any investment they will be lost to the region.

“Government grants need to be tied to renewable energy for the future. We must insist they use better technology as part of their transition to a sustainable, cheaper power source.” Senator Milne said Deakin University would play a crucial role in Geelong’s future through research and development. Geelong had a huge unrealised food production and export opportunity with Avalon Airport on its doorstep to reach Asian markets, she said. “The (Federal) Government has got its national food plan wrong because it’s focusing on having enough to eat, rather than keeping farmers on the land. “With the local food security, Geelong is a place where people can make a lifestyle choice,” Sen Milne said. “Geelong needs better links as Victoria’s second city, through the NBN but also a much-better rail system.”

PUBLIC NOTICES NOTIFICATION OF INTENTION TO DISCHARGE FIREWORKS CAROLS IN THE HILLS SUNDAY 16 DECEMBER 2012 The Barrabool Hills Baptist Church Carols includes a firework display at the Barrabool Hills Baptist Church, Province Blvd, Highton.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

Pet owners are advised to secure their pets between 9.15pm and 10.00pm on Sunday 16 December.

FIRE SEASON 2012/2013 Victoria is one of the most fire prone areas in the world and the CFA have announced we are expecting a higher than average risk of grassfires this season. Grassfires can be just as dangerous as bushfires and cars cannot out drive them. Grassfires are fast moving as grass is a fine fuel, fire burns through it faster than through forest and flames can reach 10 metres high. All property owners are reminded to cut grass and keep it maintained to a maximum height of 10cm.

For further information contact the event organiser on 5243 1733.

It is important to remember the only way to stay safe is to leave the night before or the morning of a Code Red day, or early in the morning of a Severe or Extreme day.

WASTE FACILITIES PUBLIC HOLIDAY OPERATING HOURS

You don’t have to live in the country to be at risk of fire. In strong winds, embers can travel up to 35 kilometres in front of a fire, starting new fires. On hot, dry, windy days, fires can start and spread quickly. Check Fire Danger Ratings, alerts and warnings on the CFA website www.cfa.vic.gov.au or call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667.

All enquiries contact City of Greater Geelong on 5272 5272.

FIRE SAFETY TIPS TO FOLLOW • Make sure you know what fire weather district you’re in, and check the Total Fire Ban and Fire Danger Rating for that district every day over summer. • Talk to everyone you live with about your plans so you all know what you’ll do on a bad day. • Listen to warnings on ABC radio 774AM and local FM radio stations. • Pack a relocation kit with important documents, photos, medications, money and clothes so you are ready to leave early. • Don’t rely on getting a warning - it is your responsibility to know when to leave. • Download the FireReady safety app so you can check Fire Danger Rating and alerts and warnings any time, any place. For further information please call the City’s Fire Prevention Unit on 5272 5272.

JENNIFER Aniston, Kid Rock, Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, Elton John â&#x20AC;Ś theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all had moments with the paparazzi and a new US movie puts Geelong celebrity mogul Darryn Lyons right in the middle of them for a star-studded controversy. $ellebrity, an all-star documentary directed by celebrity photographer Kevin Mazur, has the brightly-plumed Lyons front and centre for his access-all-areas insight into life behind the velvet rope and in front of the camera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who makes them famous?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he asks the camera in a promotional video for the movie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, actually, I do!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The paparazzi kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest screen foray follows roles on the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Big Brother, in which he revealed a surgically-enhanced abdomen, Excess Baggage and The Dragonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Den. Three-part BBC documentary Paparazzi tracked his exploits over a year and he also released an autobiography, My Life as the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Most Outrageous Celebrity Photographer. In $ellebrity he gives his take on the changing world of celebrity publicity, good and otherwise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty overwhelmed when I look at the cast list, actually â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the same cast as Jennifer Aniston, Kid Rock, Marc Anthony, Elton John, Dan Abrams, Sarah Jessica Parkerâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lyons told the Independent. He also revealed plans for a new celebrity photo agency.

Historic watch back to owner IAN FRiEND’S still scratching his head in wonder. He’d thought a family heirloom fobwatch, presented by 19th Century indigenous Aussie great Johnny Mullagh to his greatgreat-grandfather – but stolen in 2009 – was gone forever. The fobwatch, presented to Mullagh in 1868 by the “gentlemen of Sussex for his fine display of cricket” during a famous Aboriginal cricket tour of England, was stolen from a safe in Mr Friend’s real estate office at Point Lonsdale. But a mysterious phone message while he was holidaying in Queensland recently changed all that. “I’ll make your day. Ring me back,” the caller told Mr Friend. It more than made his day. The caller had bought the fobwatch and after Google researching the inscription on the back, referring to ’68 rather than 1868,

It fell into the right person’s hands. “It was a bit of a miracle, you wouldn’t have expected that. I thought it was dead and buried.” Mr Friend said the thief must have failed to realise the age or value of the fobwatch, which Mr Friend’s anonymous benefactor bought for just $300. “It’s probably one of the first mementoes won by an Australian playing sport overseas,” Mr Friend suggested. The fobwatch was presented to Mullagh after making 1689 runs and claiming 245 wickets on the tour. He later gave it to team captain-coach Charles Lawrence, Mr Friend’s great-great-grandfather, and it has been in the family for five generations.

Be safe these holidays Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast are wonderful holiday destinations and we want you to enjoy your holiday in safety. Ensure you secure your property at your holiday home, your campsite, while at the beach, and when leaving your car parked. Unfortunately camping grounds, caravan parks, and beach side carparks are soft targets for the less scrupulous people in our community. Holidays are great fun, until someone steals valuable items from your car, or your bike, surfboard or other valuables that are left outside and unsecured.

Be smart when you park

Be Smart in the park

Enjoy your holiday - remember to LOCK IT, REMOVE IT OR LOSE IT! When leaving your vehicle parked, remember: DO NOT LEAVE VALUABLES ON VIEW IN YOUR VEHICLE! Remove GPS units, Mobile Phones, Ipods, Laptop, CDs, Money, Bags, Sunglasses, Sporting Gear, Tools, etc. LOCK YOUR VEHICLE… Always remember to lock your vehicle, even if it is in your driveway. DO NOT PLACE items in your boot, console or under your front seat.

Eskies, bicycles, scooters, iPhones, surfboards, wetsuits and other small personal items are the target of thieves at beachside carparks, caravan parks and holiday homes during holiday periods. Don’t become an easy target - Have your refrigerator or Esky inside your tent or annexe. If outside, ensure they are locked or secured at night. Ensure surf boards and wet suits are not left unattended in front yards, on verandahs or decks, or left unsecured at your campsite. Secure outside camping equipment, gas bottles, barbecues, trailers and spare tyres with good chains and locks. REPORT THEFTS IMMEDIATELY TO POLICE CALL 000

Attitude keeps Henri working By CHERIE DONNELLAN A NEAR-FATAL vehicle accident 15 years left Ocean Grove’s Henri Stunnebrink in a coma for two weeks with traumatic brain injuries, broken bones and missing teeth. But he refused to let the enduring aftermath of debilitating fatigue and cognitive memory problems stop him returning to the workforce. Mr Stunnebrink completed extensive rehabilitation before finding work with Geelong disability support agency Karingal. He was now immersed in helping young people with disabilities to take on activities such as bush walking, multimedia, music and art. “Before my accident I worked in IT but I knew I wouldn’t be

able to return to the profession,” Mr Stunnebrink said. “I approached Matchworks this year and they suggested I work with disabled people, which made sense to me because I’ve been disabled for quite a few years and understand it.” Mr Stunnebrink said he was pursuing his musical interests to create a music theory and practice course for Karingal clients. “I’ve already helped some of my clients to record songs at Pan Studio but it would be great to create a structured course which included reading and writing score.” Mr Stunnebrink hoped to inspire a “never-say-never attitude” in his clients to demonstrate how people with disabilities could work through barriers. “One of the boys I teach in my

music course is very passionate about drumming but he’s not really good at it, so I showed him a few websites to help progress his drumming skills. “I told him he might not have the energy or concentration now but if he started now and did a little bit every day he’d be able to build up his skills.” Mr Stunnebrink said inspiring independence and responsibility in people with disbailities was essential. Matchworks employment coordinator Jackie Collins said Mr Stunnebrink had been “very successful” since completing Karingal’s course. Last week Karingal celebrated the 20th anniversary of International Day of People with Disability.

Experts set for port site study By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN SHIPPING and transport experts have investigated potential locations for a container port west of Geelong, according to the State Opposition. Shadow Ports Minister Tim Pallas said the experts visited several sites for the proposed Bay West facility. Mr Pallas said the investigation was vital to find the best possible location for Victoria’s second container port to ensure economic and jobs growth. The Independent revealed last month that a secret State Government investigation had compared Bay West with the Government’s favoured option of a new port at

Hastings. Industry has previously supported a Bay West container port, with a transport study identifying the location, near Avalon, as the best option. The Independent reported last month that Opposition leader Daniel Andrews had announced Labor’s support for the Bay West option. Mr Pallas said the site investigation would include a “comprehensive and transparent” costbenefit analysis. “What is clear is that industry believes a Bay West location for the state’s second container port is significantly more beneficial and provides easier access to their markets than that of the Hastings

proposal,” he said. “Labor will investigate how Bay West stands up against other possible sites, including Hastings. “Bay West has a number of advantages over Hastings, including availability of land, access to major arterial roads and the standard-gauge national freight network and potentially unlimited berth capacity.” Mr Pallas said reports already supported locating the port between Little River and Point Wilson because of cost advantages over Hastings. “Ernst and Young estimated the cost of a port at Bay West was approximately half of that required to expand Port of Hastings.”

LARA mum Jane Burns has jumped out of a plane to support mothers in short-term crises. She recently joined Geelong’s Megan Brooks, Melinda Mahon and Kim Boyle in a parachuting adventure near Barwon Heads as part of a national fundraiser helping Support For Mums. Ms Burns said her maiden jump was “absolutely amazing” but secondary to the $39,000 raised nationally. “The Geelong team raised $4000 and we’re all thrilled to get so much for such a worthy cause.” Ms Burns said she would now consider participating in other extreme-sport fundraisers. “We were all a bundle of nerves before the jump. One minute I was in the plane, the next my feet were out and I couldn’t see anything but clouds. The organisation helps mothers seeking assistance with emotional or financial difficulties.

BOUQUETS to the passers-by, police and St John ambulance staff who assisted a dazed and confused fellow after a rather elegant face-plant from a bicycle at Geelong’s speed trials. Nothing was majorly damaged, apart from my pride. Ben. Geelong West BOUQUETS to Highton Safeway Liquor’s Lee for her wonderful help. I wanted a Christmas catalogue item that wasn’t in stock but she rang around the other stores to finally locate it in Bell Park and had it delivered to the Highton store. Wonderful service. Grateful, Highton BUCKETS to a bank. For over 12 years it has held pay cheques too long unnecessarily. Head office has ignored the staff again. A cash deposit was held again, preventing a pensioner withdrawing cash even through it was in an account. Ombudsman now. DNT, Herne Hill BOUQUETS to Axcess Demolition’s Chris for not only demolishing our house but for the excellent team of workmen involved. Their consideration of the property, neighbours and environment was first class. Additional thanks to Chris for keeping us updated with progress reports. Marayln and Ian, Barwon Heads

Badminton to the bone GEELONG’S junior badminton players are pretty lucky – they have a wealth of international experience to draw upon as they make their way through the ranks. The array of coaching talent includes four-year Australian team player Craig Booley and Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Julie McDonald as well as Victorian state representative players. Badminton Geelong runs Gee Js social badminton group as well as higher-level coaching for Geelong’s representative squad. Now the development officer, Craig has been re-introducing the game – the fastest racquet sport on the planet – to schools around the region. “I’ve visited 19 schools so far and it’s taken off well. We hope to expand to 30 next year,” Craig said. “The kids like it because it’s noncontact, it’s easy to play and all you need is a multi-purpose room with a reasonably high roof. “We’ve run a number of successful clinics and had about 2000 kids through them. The game can easily accommodate players of all levels and abilities as well.” With the high-level coaching and support on offer, it’s no wonder some of the juniors are outstripping the seniors when it comes to achievements. Blake Haggerty, ranked one in Australia at under-17 level, and Jacob Schueler, number five nationally, are both vying for Victorian team selection to play at a national badminton carnival during Easter. Alicia Chandran recently made the Victorian under-13 team to play against New South Wales and Geelong intends to send a side to a regional challenge competition. “There’s plenty of opportunity for juniors to excel and achieve something significant in the sport,” Craig said. “They can follow the pathway from regional competition to state and national level because badminton is both an Olympic and Commonwealth

Join the

club John Van Klaveren

Games sport.” Seniors also had ample opportunitys to take to the compact badminton court to get fit as well, Craig explained. “There’s a whole range of competition for men, women and mixed, at social and pennant level, including evening competitions. “We’re also working with Badminton Victoria and Diversitat to tap into the Indian and Asian communities because the sport is popular in those regions,” he said. “We have excellent facilities at Corio Leisuretime Centre, with a wooden sprung floor, six purpose-built courts, a pro-shop and players’ lounge, all close to the best in Victoria. “Badminton is great for general fitness because it uses the whole body and keeps you moving. It’s an aerobically good workout and more fun than walking the treadmill. “Badminton players value the social aspect of the game as well, so, while we’re competitive, it’s always played in a good spirit.” Social games are available on Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons, with competition gearing up again mid-January. “There’s no commitment for the social games, players can come as they like and play a round robin with rotating partners,” Craig said. “Lifestyles these days lead to some people being unable to commit every week and this gives them the flexibility to turn up if they want to have a good hit.” Craig said more information was available by phoning him on 0405 791 224 or visiting www.badmintongeelong.com.au.

DO GENES DETERMINE GOOD FROM GREAT?

If you have ever sat on the sidelines att a local l l school h l soccer match, t h you will ill no doubt d have heard lots of comments about little Johnny or Harry being a natural sportsman. The statement is basically inferring that genes have everything to do with a sportsman or sportswoman’s ability, and that certain individuals are destined for success more so than others. An athlete’s ability is probably only 20% physical, with the other 80% to do with how they think and behave. Might I suggest that it is probably the tens of thousands of hours of training and commitment that delivers success, and being motivated mentally to do it. Having a father or mother who you look up to as a role model is also a key driver in these young people, not the gene pool. You can become whatever you aspire to be. Loving what you do, and practicing your chosen sport with a passion, will more than take care of the physical skills. Physical skills can be taught through practice and guidance, but thoughts cannot! If you think you can, you will!! Children will model themselves on their parents’ behaviour and way of life. Ask yourself, are you the best role model for your child when it comes to getting active? And remember, don’t just sayy it, do it!

Write to us:

Polluters vote Liberal I WRITE in reply to Thomas Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confused question about carbon dioxide (CO2) and the carbon tax (Letters, December 7). There is not a scientist in the world that would claim that CO2 is a toxin, which is a poisonous product of an organism, such as snake venom. But to the point Mr Watson was trying to connect, CO2 is a gas that forms a critical part of the lifecycle of Earth. Its role in the atmosphere helps regulate the temperature of the lower atmosphere and oceans. As with many things in life, too much is not a good thing. In the past 100 years we have increased CO2 in the atmosphere by 35 per cent. Humans are pumping 110 million tonnes of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere every day. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start to reduce this pollution now our grandchildren will struggle to survive in a far-hotter world. So the carbon tax and the emission trading scheme are Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bipartisan commitment to reduce our emissions. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it, vote for the Liberals and they will introduce their pay-the-polluter scheme, funded by increased taxes, instead of Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s polluters-pay scheme.

ACCORDING to temperature data just released from Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Met Office, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s climate cooled during 2011 and 2012. This news came just as United Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Climate Summit in Doha commenced to investigate ways of cutting global greenhouse gas emissions. The latest data has cast doubt on climate scientistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; predictions of runaway warming. The longer-term record shows global temperatures have gone sideways over the past 15 years. Professor Tim Flannery has stated that if â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;? stopped emitting greenhouse gas it would take up to 10,000 years to impact the climate is such a way that could be measured. Think about that: 10,000 years! This was from a leading climate scientist. The panic on reducing carbon emissions is hard to understand given the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere varies by five per cent annually. The human contribution to the total amount of carbon dioxide is just 1.7 per cent - well within the natural variation.

This Guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning no friends on the coast PLANNING Minister Matthew Guy won himself no friends on the Surf Coast by his bullying tactics toward the mayor and council (Independent, December 7). To speak of the mayor as â&#x20AC;&#x153;gutlessâ&#x20AC;? was not only disrespectful of the office but extremely rude toward the person. Spring Creek is an area that has brought the town together in its desire to have the beginning of the iconic Great Ocean Road protected from future housing development in order to retain its rural identity.

Therefore, it is impossible for CO2 to be the major cause of climate change. This being so, one must ask whether there is any need for urgent action to be taken on reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. Alan Barron Grovedale

DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T worry, the world will definitely not end on December 21, despite all the hoo-ha and hysteria in different parts of the world. However, all Christians ought be aware that Jesus Christ has promised to return and forcibly snatch us away at some time, as described in 1 Thess 4:13-18. The day of His return for us can happen at any time and is known only to God, the Father. So no one should be in the least worried about doomsday theories unless they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t repented and believed in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salvation as a result of His Sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacrifice on the cross. Remember that true belief is ongoing and needs to be shown by being â&#x20AC;&#x153;worked outâ&#x20AC;?, according to Phil 2:12 and Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; words in John 14:23-24. Consequences for those who have neglected or rejected Jesus Christ are eternal and not pleasant, to say the least. Non-Christians reading this, please have a look at Acts 2:38-39 then join a group of real Bible-believing Christians. Your future depends on it. Lindsay Smail Grovedale

The growth area of north Torquay is the logical place for development and a great deal is going on there. Council is to be applauded for following due process in the planning policy for Spring Creek. I would expect a Planning Minister to support this course of action. Mr Guy needs to be reminded that feelings run high about protection for Spring Creek and that it is in a swinging seat.

Free-range Christmas CHRISTMAS is upon us again and, while we run around searching for the perfect gift for our loved ones, I ask that readers also give careful consideration to what they put on the table for Christmas lunch and dinner. Although their mouths might water at the very thought of devouring a plate of roast turkey or pork, readers should consider buying free-range varieties. Free-range options are not as expensive as many people might believe. Factory farming of animals such as pigs and chickens should no longer be supported by consumers. Furthermore, there is absolutely no excuse for buying caged eggs in this day and age. Free-range eggs are readily available at competitive prices. Caging poultry is a cruel, inhumane practice that is unnecessary and certainly unacceptable. This Christmas, please spare a thought for the animals that suffer for the sole purpose of filling stomachs, particularly on Christmas day. I thank organisations such as Animals Australia and the RSPCA. The days are numbered for factory farming but only with the support of caring consumers. Helen Schaper Grovedale

Fedsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; funding healthy MY FIRST priority remains the health and well-being of all Victorians, so letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set the record straight.

The misinformation campaign by the Baillieu Government and coalition MPs about health funding to local hospitals is a distraction from the Baillieu Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own savage cuts of $616 million to Victorian health services. In fact, the recent Commonwealth budget update confirmed health funding in Victoria will increase 26 per cent over the next four years, from $3.6 billion in 2012/2013 to $4.5 billion in 2015/2016. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an additional $900 million. But because Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population has not grown as quickly as expected and because health inflation is not as great as expected, the funding formula agreed to by Premier Ted Baillieu means the Commonwealth contribution to Victorianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health system will not grow as much as his government would like. Victorian Health Minister David Davis says the Commonwealth has cut funding to local health services. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plain wrong. Any reduction in funding to individual health services is a decision of the Baillieu Government. It, not the Commonwealth, distributes money to local hospitals. What Mr Davis fails to mention is that the Commonwealth will provide an additional, unexpected $286 million in GST revenue to Victoria over the next four years. I suggest readers write to Mr Davis and demand he use this extra GST money to reverse the cuts he has made to their hospital. Tanya Plibersek MP Federal Minister for Health

The gift of health AS MANY of us start making Christmas lists and checking them twice, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth thinking of the gift that keeps on giving: health. Instead of chocolates, wine or video games, why not invest in a frisbee, a kite or a cricket set to enjoy in the great outdoors? There are so many ways to get a little more physical activity during the holiday season and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a chore. Dust off the bicycles and go for a ride, take a leisurely stroll around the neighbourhood, plan a bushwalk or find a special place together as a family. Christmas is also a great time to disconnect from the working world and focus on family and friends. Readers should plan to get away from the glaring screens that dominate our lives and get out for some fresh air together. On behalf of VicHealth, I wish all Victorians a safe, healthy and happy holiday season. Jerril Rechter VicHealth chief executive officer

An Independent Advertising Feature

Ponds has gifts wrapped up WAURN Ponds Shopping Centre will help make Christmas shopping effortless this December. The centre is extending its trading hours to be open until 9pm from Monday to Friday, December 21. Target will also be open later than usual, trading to midnight from Monday to the 21st for all customers’ last-minute Christmas needs. What’s more, this year at Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre children can have professional Santa photos taken for free. Shoppers only have to spend $25 or more in one transaction at any specialty store in the centre then take their receipt to the Santa photo site outside Target to receive two free photos. Terms and conditions apply and are available online at waurnpondssc.com.au or the Santa site. To make Christmas preparations even easier, a Relay for Life gift-wrapping station will be located outside Target from this Saturday to Monday, December 24. Operating between 11am and 4pm daily, shoppers will be able to have any presents wrapped for a gold coin donation per gift. Barb Ward has been involved with Geelong’s Relay for Life event for the past seven years. She says Geelong Relay for Life has raised over $230,000 in the past 12 months and $3.3 million in vital funds for Cancer Council since the event’s inception in 2000. “Nearly everyone we know has been touched by cancer and it’s incredibly liberating to know we can make a difference,” Barb says. “Every five minutes, another Australian is diagnosed with cancer and every year there are hundreds of people diagnosed in Geelong alone. “While survival rates are improving ev-

Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre is the place to find gift ideas galore this festive season. ery day, cancer remains a leading cause of death. That’s why it’s so important that we raise funds to fight it. “Every dollar we raise from gift-wrapping this Christmas at Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre will contribute to fundraising for the main Relay for Life event next March.”

Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus will host Relay for Life on March 16 and 17. More information about supporting and participating in Relay For Life is available at its gift-wrapping station at Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre, by phoning Cancer Council Victoria on 9635 5000 or visiting www.relayforlife.org.au.

Choir hits right note

RELATIONS: Geelong Harmony Chorus director Alex Morris said choir members are like his extended family.

LEADING 32 women to sing in harmony and dance in time is a job Geelong Harmony Chorus director Alex Morris relishes. The 25-year-old Melbournian said directing an acapella group that has been around almost as long as him was “a pleasure”. “They’re like my extended family,” Morris said. “They’re a really committed group – they take everything on board and they’re keen to keep doing better.” Morris will lead the chorus in a Christmas performance at Courthouse ARTS theatre on December 16. He promised the audience a “fun” night. “We’ve got a bit of a Christmas story to tell through performance and some great Christmas songs but we’re also performing regular songs from our repertoire.” Geelong’s Bay City Conchords, which Morris dubbed his choir’s “male equivalent”, and group Something Else! will also perform. Morris said the performance will help the group gear up for a national Sweet Adelines International competition in May.

“Each choir from Australia who’s a part of Sweet Adelines competes, performing two songs. “It’s essentially a big get-together of barbershop singers but we’re also hoping to win some medals,” he laughed. Morris said the group gave “engaging performances” because its songs were performed “off by heart, not sheet music”. Members also invested their songs with plenty of emotion and choreography to connect with their audiences. Morris said the choir members’ ages ranged from 19 to 70-plus but he enjoyed the challenge of bringing together different voices. “From a singing point of view, I have to deal with older voices different to younger voices but the ensembles works together so well and they know how to support one another,” he said. “I’m so lucky my life revolves around something I love.” Geelong Harmony Chorus will perform 3pm December 16 at Courthouse ARTS theatre, 60 Malop St, Geelong. Tickets will cost $20 at the door for adults or $15 for holders of concession cards.

GEELONG Performing Arts Centre will feature an “exceptional” lineup of local and international acts in 2013, according to general manager Jill Smith. She launched the season this week with an official announcement that Deakin University had secured naming rights to the GPAC program for 2013 and 2014. The centre’s “high standard” of productions had earned the sponsorship, Smith said. “It is exciting to see the worlds of theatre and education come together. “This exceptional line-up of productions really does bring the best of all worlds.” The season’s opening in February would feature Helpmann Awardwinning production Ganesh Versus The Third Reich return from its American tour to the Geelong stage.

By Greg Crawford, MAP Wealth FEDERAL Government has announced a significant change to the way consumers will pay for aged care from July 2014. However, anyone entering an aged-care facility before then will start on and remain under the existing rules in to regard fees. Currently fees are broken down into an accommodation

fee or bond, a base-care fee and an income-assessed fee. Low-care facilities have the right to collect a bond to be assessed on the person’s total assets. Included in the assets will be the value of the person’s home, except where a spouse or a long-term carer receiving Centrelink benefits is remaining in the home. A strategy to reduce the

income-assessed fee is to rent out the home. The rental income is then exempt of both the age pension income test and the income-assessed fee. Providing the right structure is put in place, and that is key, the value of the asset will be not be counted by Centrelink in the assets test for the age pension. More information is available by phoning me at MAP Wealth on 5229 0200.

LOW-IMPACT collisions typical in shopping centre car parks are annoying to say the least. Add to this the fact that people rarely own up to damaging other people’s cars. It has been noticed that drivers are often scared to back-up any further due to very limited vision. These are the occasions where reverse sensors are very welcome. Bumper Master fits reversing sensors to help customers overcome fears of backing into objects or even pedestrians. Reversing sensors help prevent damage to owners’ cars as well as the vehicles of neighbours and other motorists. They can also help when backing out of tight garages and past narrow gateposts. Bumper Master can also help owners improve the appearance of bumpers when selling vehicles. Bumpers are the first part of any car to incur damage - and first impressions are important when trying to sell. All Bumper Master repairs come with a no-questions-asked warranty to give customers peace of mind. Best of all, most bumper repairs are done for less than the cost of insurance excesses. Located behind VicRoads at 3 Dowsett Street, South Geelong, Bumper Master has proven experience in providing an alternative repair service to the bumper regions of any car. Owners wanting to improve the resale value of their cars should phone Bumper Master on 5221 0138.

His care and attention to detail has enhanced his hard-won reputation in the car repair trade. The personal service includes a drop off and pick up service to the city. Gary is known as a Mazda specialist but his tried and true slogan, ‘Anything on any car’, sums up his approach. “We do all major and minor repairs, including exhaust, brakes, clutches and suspension,” Gary explains. “Plus we do the full range of upgrades and servicing, including air-conditioner re-gassing.” Gary and Mazda go back a long way, including his top qualifications in the repair and servicing of the famous rotary engine. Gary uses only genuine parts in his new-car repair and servicing work. “This way our customers can be sure their factory warranties are not affected.” He says customers should be able to receive dealer level service without paying dealer level prices. “We’re always happy to give a quote so the customer knows exactly what they are up for.” He says.

THE LATEST cars to take the Mini moniker, the Coupe and Roadster, are the first purely two-seaters from the iconic British brand. Aimed to attract those who desire a two-seat sporting life, they come in Mini Cooper S and Mini John Cooper Works guises. The very different roof of the hard top Mini Coupe has already gained the nicknames of ‘helmet top’ and ‘helmet head’ and is a talking point wherever you drive it. Just look at the steep slope of the windscreen, the distinctive rear glass treatment and a sharply curved roof in a contrasting colour. Inside the cabin it’s ‘Mini Central’ with all the usual suspects - quirky controls and switches, and an oversize speedo dominating the central dashboard, a tradition harking back to the original Mini of the 1960s. There is a digital speedo incorporated in the tachometer and information display dead ahead of the driver behind the steering wheel. A neat touch is the inclusion of oval recesses in the roof liner creating extra headroom. High body rigidity for optimum protection of occupants and pedestrians was of primary concern. Passenger safety extends to the cabin interior with front and head-thorax airbags, the latter integrated into the sides of the seat backrests. Naturally there are three-point inertia-reel seat belts including belt force limiters and belt tensioners. Mini Cooper S is powered by a 1.6-litre four-cylinder motor with twin-scroll turbocharger putting out 135 kW of power at 5500 rpm and 240 m of torque between 1600 and 5000 rpm. The John Cooper Works variant pumps out a rip-roaring 155 kW at 6000 rpm and 260 Nm between 1850

and 5600 rpm. Overboost adds a further 20 Nm between 2000 and 5100 rpm. The dimensions of the Coupe - the two-seater measures 3734 mm (John Cooper Works Coupe 3758 mm) in length, 1683 mm in width and 1384 mm (John Cooper Works Coupe 1385 mm) in height (Roadster 1390 mm and JCW 1391 mm) with a wheelbase of 2467 mm - together with a stiff (some would say too stiff) sports suspension have the compact cars roller skating ‘round corners, the beautiful balance enhanced by positive steering with excellent feedback. Efficient aerodynamics see an active rear spoiler integrated into a Mini boot lid. It pops up automatically when the Coupe hits 80 km/h. At top speed the maker says the wing weighs in with 40 kg of extra downforce. Standard equipment in this stunning looking little Mini Coupe is generous, with bi-xenon headlights, speed-sensitive power steering, electric exterior mirrors, parking audio alarm, height-adjustable seats, automatic climate control, Bluetooth hands-free function with USB audio interface and an audio system with MP3-compatible CD player and AUX connection. In the automatic Mini JCW we tested fuel consumption was in the five to six litres per hundred kilometres range on the open road. Much has been done to match engine performance with handling qualities. Agility of the sort found in a gokart, was the catchword. There was no denying steering and stability were of the highest order. The ride which was harsh and skittish on at times on uneven surfaces, to the extent it could upset some passengers. On smooth blacktop the minor discomforts were soon forgotten in the sheer joy of driving the new exotic Mini.

IndySport Indy Sport Anglers get tactical for snapper in bay On the

bite

Brian Long

VARYING conditions in the past week forced successful anglers to constantly changing tactics to catch a fish from Corio Bay’s inner-harbour. Jerry Lowe fished North Shore rocks for a pair of fantastic snapper, his largest weighing 6.3kg and taken on the run-up to high tide with pilchard for bait. Nathan Piper also caught snapper land-based from Geelong’s waterfront last Saturday night as fireworks exploded in the background. Nathan’s two fish each weighed over 2kg. Guy Faithfull fished Stingaree Bay’s spoil grounds after Saturday‘s heavy blow, landing plenty of undersize fish before bigger specimens took over to reach his bag limit. Grant McMahon cast lures from a number of locations around the bay, landing over a dozen pike in three sessions on small laser lures. Danny Sharp drifted the spoil grounds off Hermsley where the fishing was slow until the tide began running off from high and the fish went crazy, hitting any lure he used. Most were small but Danny boated two snapper around 2kg each. Stuart Pattern trolled the inshore grass beds between Clifton Springs and Pelican Shores Estate, taking plenty of pike on a deep-diving Sebile Minnow lure. Anglers anchoring close to the channel and casting baits into the channel itself generally enjoyed the best results on snapper. Wilson Spit was one of the most productive areas. Anyone wanting to fish away from the channel should consider the quarries, Bird Rock and the deep water off St Leonards, generally 18m-plus. Ryan Castle took daughter Immi and son Gus out chasing the snapper early last week. Immi struck gold with her first snapper, a beauty around 2kg taken on light tackle.

FLAKED OUT: Ben Firman with a gummy shark from the bay.

INAUGURAL: Gus and Immi Castle with Immi’s first snapper.

Colin Jacobs has reported success on the gummy sharks off Portarlington, Most have been around 4kg, with the action at either first light or just on dark. Josh Macpherson and Ben Firman also nailed a nice gummy in 20m off St Leonards along with a big seven-gill shark released at the boat. Justin Rayner was one of many squid anglers to report bag-limit numbers of calamari. The shallow grass beds off Portarlington to Duck Island were excellent. Anglers found plenty of salmon at The Rip, with trolled deep-diving lures catching fish to 1.3kg. Soft plastics were better on the surface action. Soft plastics anglers also found trevally in the cut at Queenscliff, where the best time to fish is an hour either side of high or low tide. Surf anglers should continue fishing Black Rock, near Breamlea, with squid strips for quality snapper and the odd big whiting. Terry Shortland spun the Barwon River at Queen’s Park with an Atomic deep shad in the red colour. His bag of fish included a beauty of 1.3kg, while most redfin taken have been between 400g and 600g. Pat O’Donnell chased reddies on the river around Landy Field late in the after-

noons. Pat also reported that red was the best colour, although his favoured lure was a minnow-pattern Halco Scorpion. Lake Tooliorook’s should really begin to fire with the warming weather. Anglers should drift the lake using either ice jigs, bobbers or vibes for good numbers of fish to better than 1kg. Trolling deep-running lures such as the small Stump Jumpers in the brighter colours will also account for numbers of redfin at Tooliorook. Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree has been producing the best action. Mudeye has been the best bait, while fly has worked exceptionally well late in the evenings because the huge population of mudeyes inhabiting the lake tend to hatch at this time. Anglers slow trolling with shallowrunning lures such as the Rapala F3 and F5 rainbow pattern offerings have enjoyed some of the best fishing. This weekend’s conditions should be ideal for fishing the surf at Black Rock with bait or between Eastern View and Wye River for salmon on lure. Send reports and photos to info@ raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Ave, Manifold Heights.

Cats train 303 on uni GEELONG Cricket Club took a big leap forward on day one of its clash with Hawthorn Monash University when the Cats finally converted their outstanding Twenty 20 results to the longer form. Batting first, the Cats got off to a solid start, with in-form Hayden Butterworth, 76, and James Crosthwaite, 22, putting on 127 for the first week. Andre Borovec, 49, and Meyrick Buchanan, 65, ensured the early good work wouldn’t go to waste. However, a middle-order collapse saw the side slip to 8/252 with a real danger of only making a par score. But Justin McPhee, 37, put the icing on the cake, helping the score to 303. Tight bowling, supported by some quality fielding, should see Geelong post an important victory. In the Geelong Cricket Association match of the round between Grovedale and South Barwon, the Swans who hold the upper-hand after the first day’s play, ebbed and flowed. The Tigers batted first last week and, despite losing an early wicket, were well-placed at 1/85, with Michael Kelson, 50, and Brad Patton, 38, looking good. But with Swans skipper Phil Halbish rotating his bowlers perfectly, four wickets fell for just 16 runs. Simon Pearce, 30, and Gary Kelson, 52, staged a fightback but again their good work fell apart as their side was dismissed for just 200. Clinton Place, 3/42, was the pick of the Swans’ bowlers. Sam Carr and Eamonn Vines had to see off 11 overs, doing so without fuss and wiping 28 runs off the deficit.

Local

cricket Jim Timberlake

Modewarre has thrown down a massive challenge to the highly fancied Newcomb & District in their division two match. Batting first, Modewarre stood up to an early barrage with Jack Hosking, 54, Steven King, 20, and Matthew Robinson, 37, all making runs at the top of the order. Simon Anderson, 4/72, got the Dinos back into it. But Modewarre’s experienced captain, Michael Brown, 81, stood up when his young side needed it most for the visitors to finish day one on a very competitive 257. In the division three grand final rematch, Meredith and Lethbridge played some pulsating cricket in a day dominated by the ball. Meredith batted first and, while Ty Watts, Tim Bailey and Heath Bush all got scores in the 30s, partnerships were few and far between as the side was dismissed for 193 in just 59 overs. Leigh Harding was the pick of the Lethbridge bowlers, taking 4/47. Meredith had 11 overs to try and get itself back in the match, which is exactly what it did. In a scintillating spell, Andrew Forster took 4/9 from just four overs, while Bailey also snared a wicket to leave Lethbridge reeling at 5/30 by the close of play.
