Thong record attempt to to pump up Nipper reserves GOR repairs in cash push By CHERIE DONNELLAN TORQUAY’S Cosy Corner will become a sea of yellow on Australia Day when thousands of people attempt a new world record as a fundraiser for local Nippers, according to organisers. Torquay Surf Life Saving Club fundraising coordinator Carolyn Biram hoped Victorians would “beat out” the other states competing to break the world record for the most people on inflatable thongs in a body of water. Ms Biram said about 1380 participants attended last year’s Havaiana’s Thong Challenge but it wasn’t enough to top winner Western Australia with 2088. Ms Biram encouraged locals and holidaymakers to enter because $10 from each participant’s registration fee would go towards keeping the the life saving club’s Nippers program “open and uncapped”. “This program is important and every child should be able to enjoy the Nippers program and learn about water safety,” she said. A total of 350 children completed this year’s summer program. Ms Biram said about 120 volunteer lifesavers would patrol the event. She praised club life saving director David Nankervis for “effectively” running the event each year. Registrations are now open at www. havaianasthongchallenge.com.au.

GEELONG Otway Tourism will launch a new campaign seeking funding for the Great Ocean Road as its repair bill approaches $500 million, the organisation’s director has revealed. Roger Grant said a “conservative” request of $50 million was a “base minimum” but federal funding could bolster the road to compete with international tourist attractions. “We understand the political and economic climate but the ask of $50 million is reasonable and responsible,” he said. “The reality is we could spend 10 times that.” Mr Grant said he believed state and federal governments undervalued the road as “fundamental” part of Australia’s tourism strategy. “The Federal Government in particular needs to see it as a major tourism experience, not just a commuter route.” Mr Grant said work was required on drainage problems, structural deterioration, road verges and car parking upgrades, while sea level rises, changing weather patterns and land erosion also threatened the road’s longevity. “Rather than get to a stage where it closes for months or, worse, collapses, let’s start to address this critical issue.” Mr Grant said a G21 report had found that adequate maintenance of the road would create 212 jobs in the region.
Fagg calls funding truce “Our expectation is that all local MPs lobby on behalf of the community to maintain the health services in the region,” he said. Local MPs were agreeable about meeting on the funding issue but were unprepared to cede ground on who should provide additional funding. Corangamite’s Labor MP, Darren Cheeseman, insisted the Baillieu Govern-

ment had cut $616 million from health funding over two years and that the federal cuts were warranted under population figures. But South Barwon Liberal MP Andrew Katos said the Gillard Government was to blame. “They already made an agreement and then half-way through the year they reversed on absurd population figures,”

Mr Katos said. “Our last budget shows record health budgets, almost a quarter of the total budget. I don’t know where they get that figure of $616 million.” Mr Katos said all health agencies were targeting Canberra over the cuts, not State Government. Corio Labor MP Richard Marles said he encouraged a meeting between Ms Plibersek and Mr Ashbridge last year. He insisted federal Labor was boosting health cash to Victoria by $900m over four years.

Cr Fagg said the cash cuts threatened beds, waiting lists, job and recruiting. The community needed “a good resolution as quickly as possible’’. “It’s my great desire they can forget their political differences and get an outcome that’s fair and reasonable for all concerned.” Barwon Health chief executive officer David Ashbridge backed Cr Fagg’s call. 1060026-TB03-13
POLITICIANS need to drop the blame game and solve Geelong Hospital’s funding crisis, according to Mayor Keith Fagg. MPs on both sides of parliament must work together to reverse unexpected federal funding cuts savaging Barwon Health, he said. “It’s a great concern to me,” Cr Fagg told the Independent. “I’m calling on federal and state governments to sort it out it. It’s impacting on people’s health and access to services.”

City leaders on a passage to India By NOEL MURPHY GEELONG will sell itself to the Asian sub-continent as part of a state-backed super trade mission to India in March. Mayor Keith Fagg and Committee for Geelong chairman Michael Betts have thrown their weight behind the delegation, saying it was critical to business and job prospects for the region. The trade mission, hot on the heels of a State Government mission to China in September, will flog the wares of Geelong and the state across automotive, aviation, aerospace, tourism, education, ICT and other sectors. Cr Fagg said India presented huge prospects for Geelong.
FRIDAY 8 FEB 2013
BACKER: Michael Betts “I visited India a few years ago and I know what a massive economy it has,� Cr Fagg said. “I’d like to think there are
opportunities for Geelong businesses to connect with India in some way. “I’d like to see us engage with India and others in the Asian sub-continent – the City’s participation itself would require the matter going to council – but in principle I hope there are opportunities for Geelong.� Mr Betts said the Committee for Geelong would encourage members to join the delegation. “Feedback suggests it’s not so much contacts with the local population but contacts with other people on trade missions that can prove really valuable, by being able to speak people well versed in customs and procedures.�

TAKING the sun-smart message too far could leave “sunphobic� people at greater risk of skin cancer, according to a Geelong specialist. Dr Ian Holten said people had “misunderstood� the Cancer Council’s “slip, slop, slap� campaign about responsibly using sun protection, with many now suffering “dangerously low� vitamin D levels. Dr Holten believed the advent of 50-plus sunscreen was “pandering to hysteria� and instead leaving people at higher risks of skin cancer, bone and muscle weakness, heart disease and mental health issues. People needed 10 to 20 min-
utes of sun without applying sunscreen daily for adequate levels of vitamin D, he said. “In 20 minutes your body can make 20000 international units of vitamin D, which you could compare to the 1000 IU tablets available, except the sun is free.� Applying zinc or titaniumbased sunscreen and covering the face afterward would prevent skin damage, Mr Holten said. Deakin medical expert Professor Mark Kotowicz acknowledged that vitamin D deficiency was increasing but said the sun-smart message still had merit. “Aim to get vitamin D when the UV radiation is less during the day, so before 10am and after 3pm.�
Cancer Council SunSmart Victoria manager Jen Makin said the organisation encouraged people to be “outdoors and active� but to avoid the sun in times of high UV rays. “The World Health Organisation recommends people use sun protection whenever UV rays are at level three or above. In Victoria the maximum level reached recently has been 13, which is extreme,� she said. “If people want to protect their skin from cancer they should could cover up during high UV and get their vitamin D when the UV isn’t as strong.� Ms Makin advised keeping tabs on vitamin D intake during winter when UV levels were low.

Anglican leaders split over ‘new-age’ church By CHERIE DONNELLAN GEELONG’S Anglican priests are divided over an army chaplain Andrew Grills’ plan to “plant” in Geelong another church under the denomination. Christ Church Geelong Reverend Russell Trickey said he refused to attend a meeting in which Anglican bishops announced the arrival of City on a Hill church because of its “evangelical” nature. But Newtown All Saints Right Reverend Peter Danaher supported the new Anglican branch, saying it gave
way to apply “American business marketing principles to religion”. The result was a tendency to “exclude people”, he said. Rev Danaher believed All Saints adequately served the 20 young families in his congregation, with their ages ranging from late 20s to early 30s. Mr Grills said he “didn’t want to knock traditional churches” but believed that “contemporary” ways of preaching drew in younger members. “Our partner church in Melbourne puts value on the arts, creativity, audio-visual and media and these things
Geelong’s faithful “more options” to pray. Rev Danaher said he did not consider Geelong’s Anglican churches as being in “competition” for worshippers. They were instead “offering different ways to approach religion”, he said. But both reverends were critical of Mr Grills’ contention that City on a Hill would suit younger worshippers who believed “traditional churches were boring”. Rev Trickey said City on a Hill’s targeting of Generation X and Y was a
have helped them bring 700 people into the church, most under the age of 30, who attend on Sunday.” Mr Grills said City on a Hill’s congregation in Geelong numbered under 20 but he hoped growth would lead to the church moving to a facility “somewhere like Geelong’s Village cinemas”. Mr Grills said he was an ordained Anglican minister whose teachings centred on “the same traditions taught in many Christian denominations”. “Our central focus is knowing Jesus and making Jesus known to others,” he said.

Staff ‘redeployed’
BOROUGH of Queenscliffe residents who failed to vote in the October’s municipal elections will escape fines thanks to council’s demographic conditions, according to the borough’s chief executive officer. Lenny Jenner said council chose to exclude itself from Victorian Election Commission’s fine system due to high voter participation, a population majority over 70 years old and a high number of non-permanent residents. People who fell outside those criteria could then submit a statutory declaration to exempt themselves from voting, making the fining process “financially unviable”, Mr Jenner said. “The amount of money we would make would be far less than the costs incurred to carry out this complex process,” he said. Victorian Electoral Commission said Golden Plains Shire had also opted to exempt its residents from receiving fines. But City of Greater Geelong would write to 15,132 people for an explanation why they failed to vote, the commission said. Residents who failed to supply a legitimate reason written in a statutory declaration would cop a $70 fine. Surf Coast and Colac Otway shires had 2093 and 1475 residents who failed to vote respectively. The commission said voting in council elections was compulsory for Victorian residents enrolled on the state electoral roll by August 31.
A GEELONG community services agency will redeploy 39 staff with disabilities after handing over its paper recycling business to another operator, the agency’s chief executive officer has announced.

GEELONG’S CFA will intensify its watch on isolated grassy areas within the city following a recent increase in suspicious fires. Geelong CFA operations manager Gerry Verdoorn said fire-fighters would keep closer eyes on bicycle tracks and walking trails in the city following an “opportunistic” fire at Breakwater this week. He said this week’s fire burnt dry reeds growing on water in a “pretty much inaccessible” area near sports ovals and a gun club. “Someone’s gone past and for whatever reason started a fire. There doesn’t seem to be an explanation for this trend at the moment,” Mr Verdoorn said. “There are so many spots around the greater Geelong district that are
would continue to monitor the region to watch for suspicious activity but said the public should also be aware. Crime Stoppers, police and CFA partnership Operation Fire Setter had encouraged the public to report suspicious activity, he said. “People just need to be alert in their communities and if there’s something suspicious, report it. If you see a fire, dial 000.” Mr Verdoorn said investigations following recent fires had shown local arsonists were using “a variety” of methods to light fires in the region. Geelong Police Detective Senior Constable Bruce Sharp said enquiries into the Breakwater fire were continuing. “We haven’t identified anyone at this point. We’re just going through the normal course of investigation – speaking to witnesses and tracking it

Local theft rate ‘down’ high-tech cameras and invisible ink markings on tools and equipment. Crime prevention officer Senior Constable Adrian Goodwin said thieves targeted houses under construction at Lara this week. “They’re taking things you wouldn’t believe they’d take, like a kitchen sink.” Sen Sgt Reid said thieves had also targeted Barwon Water meters to sell their components. “That has now been addressed through Barwon Water reducing the value of water meters to the point where they’re not worth stealing.” Snr Sgt Reid said second-hand dealers and metal recyclers were contacting police when sellers presented them with commonly-stolen items. Thefts from motor vehicles, a separate category, were fewer than in previous summers. “Normally we see a spike at this time of year, especially on the Surf Coast, but we’ve seen a drop since the spike in November,” Sen Sgt Reid said.

JOURNEYS: Deakin librarian Kristen Thornton inspects part of the exhibition. Picture: GREG WANE 92504
Uni’s collection on show By NOEL MURPHY THE SOUTH Seas, the exotic East, the Dark Continent, the Frozen North … time was when discovery was all the rage and the mystery of the unknown the precursor to a golden age of travel. Napoleon’s expeditions of exploration to Nouvelle Holland and the Pacific, pitches at the poles, voyages from Morocco to Japan – these and many other sojourns feature in a new expedition at
Deakin’s Waterfront campus. Travel and holidays might be ventures sorted on the internet these days but the Deakin University’s New Horizons: Journeys In The Special Collection is a colourful, albeit modest, peepshow of how the world embraced the unknown before throwing itself headlong to all corners of the globe. The first exhibition to showcase books from the university’s Special Collection will be open at the campus’s Alfred Deakin Prime Ministerial Library.

SOME categories of theft in the region have plunged “well below” the state average, according to police. Senior Sergeant Michael Reid said figures for the “theft-other” category had decreased in the Geelong police service area since a spike in August. “It’s quite considerably less than the state average and in comparison to the rest of the western region, especially considering the Geelong division is the largest regional centre in Victoria and is quite often compared to Melbourne in regards to crime.” The August data analysis of theftother crimes found a spike in thefts from building sites, houses under construction and tradesmen’s vehicles. The Independent reported last month that a partnership between police and the building industry aimed to combat a rise in thefts at building sites including Armstrong Creek, Ocean Grove and Clifton Springs. Police were educating builders in use of security equipment including

Geelong ticket call By CHERIE DONNELLAN A GEELONG public transport campaigner has called for reintroduction of paper tickets after Mornington Peninsula seniors successfully lobbied State Government against Myki passes on buses. Public Transport Users Association Geelong spokesman Paul Westcott said the Government backing down against the peninsula seniors’ bid for paper tickets contradicted previous statements that the machines previously supplying them were incompatible with the Myki system.
Nominations are open for the 2013 People of Australia Ambassadors Program Paul Westcott
Mr Westcott said the Government should have “no issue” implementing the technology on services throughout Victoria, including Geelong, if paper tickets could be reinstated on Melbourne’s south-eastern services. “Sixty per cent of people are using single-use tickets – they are the most popular – so why take that away?” Mornington Peninsula pensioners were angered in recent months when the loss of the $3.80 Seniors Daily fare for zones three and four would cost them anywhere between $5.42 and $9.02 for a day’s travel.
The People of Australia Ambassadors Program honours people who embody the principles of Australia’s Multicultural Policy and have a strong commitment to inclusion, social cohesion and actions that unite all Australians. People of Australia Ambassadors are an important and critical link providing feedback from local communities on issues of interest to the Australian Multicultural Council and the Australian Government for the term of their appointment.
The association’s president, Tony Morton, said the pensioners launched a successful campaign forcing the Government to allow them with a “special seniors’ day pass” available to purchase on two buses operating between the peninsula and metropolitan Melbourne. “Given the system can accommodate this option, it should be made available to occasional travellers, visitors and tourists who neither want nor need to pay $6 for a Myki card that won’t be used again for months,” Mr Morton said.

People who are recognised for their work with diverse and ethnic communities can be nominated. Nominations of young people and people from regional and rural areas are strongly encouraged. The People of Australia Ambassadors Program operates under the auspices of the Australian Multicultural Council. Ambassadors are appointed for 12 months.
Idle wagons make light work for vandals By NOEL MURPHY

NORTH GEELONG’S shunting yards have become graffiti central, with lurid spray can images vandalising dozens of freight carriages. The yards, accessible to pedestrians from Separation St and Melbourne Rd, make the carriages sitting ducks for graffiti vandals. Similar graffiti vandalism is emblazoned across an abandoned power station nearby.
Pacific National used the carriages for fertiliser transport but has decommissioned them at Geelong. The Independent was unable to determine whether the company intended salvaging or scrapping the carriages. They are splashed with metre-highplus lettering, signature tags, caricatures, drug references and cartoon figures. The age of the graffiti and location of its creation was unclear but dates of 2012 were among the images, suggesting the
vandalism was carried out in Geelong. Geelong MP Ian Trezise said the graffiti could pose a safety threat because of the potential to reduce visibility of carriages as they moved through open-level crossings. “It might sound maybe a long bow to draw but the visibility of trains going over country rail crossings and carriages compromised by graffiti must be some form of safety concern to Pacific National,” he said.

PUBLIC MEETING
by NOEL MURPHY THE LIBERAL party is set to parachute a Melbourne candidate into Corio to run against Labor’s Richard Marles at this year’s Federal Election. The party has yet to formally approve Peter Read but he was the sole applicant to nominate for pre-selection. The Independent has obtained a copy of Mr Read’s application for endorsement, in which he cited an extensive background in military “intelligence” roles with branches including Special Air Services, Australian Defence Forces Warfare Centre and army headquarters. Mr Read said he joined the Australian Army as a cadet in 1982 and now served as chief-of-staff at a Combined Arms Training Centre. He also cited “contemporary operational experience” in his application. He listed service in Afghanistan and Iraq among his major career achievements. “I am able to quickly grasp the complexities and nuances of a problem and to develop innovative policy options to resolve the issue,” Mr Read wrote. Liberal party Corio federal electorate conference head Michelle Challis confirmed Mr Read was the only candidate. She also confirmed the Liberals had a members only meet-and-greet party with Mr Read at the home of prominent local party member Helene Bender. The party has circulated information about Mr Read, stating he is a 49-year-old army officer who hails from the Melbourne federal electorate of Jaga Jaga. Party insiders voiced concerns the pre-selection nomination was conducted too quickly and “under cover

of darkness”. A member who spoke on condition of anonymity said the “whole process wasn’t put out there properly”. The call for nominations was advertised inadequately and kept “very low-key”, the member said. “They parachuted some bloke in from Melbourne then sent out a flyer saying this is the candidate.” Liberal state director Damien Mantach told the Independent the party was yet to formalise a candidate. “Under the Liberal party’s constitution the one-applicant procedure has been implemented for the seat of Corio,” he said. “Until this process is finalised the party does not have a candidate in Corio. We look forward to announcing a candidate soon who will take up the fight against Richard Marles and Labor.” Mr Marles welcomed Mr Read to the political fray. “It’s a great honour to stand in the electorate of Corio and, if ultimately endorsed, I congratulate him and look forward to debating critical issues regarding Australia with him.” Mr Read said he was unable to speak with the Independent.

Island power dream fading By NOEL MURPHY
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. This Project has been funded under the Community Safety Fund grants program, part of the Victorian Government’s $39 million Community Crime Prevention Program - local solutions for local crime prevention issues.

PLANS for a $2 billion King Island wind farm have struck trouble long before the project could ever power up the region. Firebrand independent federal senator Nick Xenophon has criticised the potential cost to taxpayers and the contribution of green power on rising electricity costs. The endangered orange-bellied parrot, which cruelled a wind farm plan for Gippsland’s Bald Hill, has also raised its beak as another potential threat to the ambitious project. Hydro Tasmania’s 200-turbine, 600-megawatt TasWind project, which would be the largest wind farm in the Southern Hemisphere, would use Roaring Forties wind to generate electricity for up to 240,000 houses. The facility could be operational within six years, with a feasibility study due to start in April. Senator Xenophon said the plant would still need coal-generated power as a back-up. “We should be focusing on developing baseload renewables such as geo-thermal rather than unreliable wind energy,” he told the Independent. “A real problem with wind energy is that, because it is intermittent and unreliable, coal-fired power stations need to be on stand-by, which is inefficient. “There is also a real concern regarding excessive noise for residents living near these wind factories and the potential disturbance they can cause to people’s sleep and lives generally. Senator Xenophon said a place for wind energy existed in the “renewable-energy mix’’ but the trouble was that the rules were “stacked in favour of wind factories rather than baseload renewable energy sources such as geo-thermal and solar-thermal”. Activists seeking to save the orange-bellied parrot have weighed into the debate, arguing that every remaining member of the endangered species used King Island on both north and south migrations between Tasmania and the mainland. Activists told the Independent environmental assessments of the King Island proposal needed to scrutinise carefully the birds’ movements and habits and any possible threat from the wind turbines.

GEELONG chiropractor James Sidebottom hopes his voice rather than his hands will work its magic over judges at a national talent competition in Tamworth next week. Sidebottom is one of three contestants vying for a Telstra Road to Discovery best songwriter title, with the winner to be revealed next week at Tamworth Country Music Festival. His two rivals –Western Australia’s Morgan Bain and New South Wales’ Melody Pool – would be “tough competition”, Sidebottom said. “They’re amazing musicians and seeing where they’re at in their development wows me. “They were leaps and bounds ahead of where I was at their age.” But Sidebottom hoped his selfdescribed John Mayer-esque “folkacoustic pop” and original lyrics would secure victory. He admitted a preference for other styles of music but was attracted as a songwriter to the country genre’s tradition of “heartfelt lyrics”. “There’s a lot to be learnt about putting yourself into a song and (country music) is very earnest in that way.” Sidebottom believed a win would “open doors” from him as it had for previous winners including 2003 title holder Jessica Mauboy, who progressed to fame in music and acting. “It’s hard to make money from music and I have my own chiropractic business but it would be great to play music more,” he said.

Guerilla yarns Join the
STOCKTAKE
club John Van Klaveren
SECRET band of graffiti artists is enjoying the thrill of sneaking around at midnight covering items in a splash of colour. The graffiti guerillas like to revisit the scene of the apparnt crime to check the responses and reactions of passers-by. Occasionally members emerge into daylight for a quick raid, transforming what they consider drab pieces of infrastructure into a riot of colour. Then they disappear again. The group doesn’t have a website and keeps members identities secret, except for their graffiti tags that are known to other members – but they’re open to other like-minded artists joining them. One of the ringleaders, Inger, has performed this particular style of graffiti art all over Australia and is even looking to go international. “Sometimes I’ll do it on the spur of the moment – I always have material in the car and if I see something that I can cover I’ll nip out and sew it up,” Inger said. “We’re always on the lookout for our next project. I did the Western Australian parliament at midnight once!” Inger and fellow artist Tiesha are members of the Norlane Yarn Graffiti Group, which demands a lot of knitting before carrying out a raid. They’re also known as guerrilla knits or yarn bombers and the phenomenon has exploded

STITCHED UP: Yarn bombers Inger Christoffersen and Tiesha Ita-Uliema knit up their next project at a secret location in Geelong West. Picture: JOHN CONWAY 91748A around the world in the past two or three years. The group was responsible for knitted festive adornments that turned Lt Malop St Mall’s bare trunks into Christmas trees. “We’ve done a number of projects around the region, out in Golden Plains and around Labuan Square in Norlane,” Inger said. “I did one in Queenscliff but someone complained and the council removed it. But Geelong’s council has been good and has encouraged our work.” As well as the Mall project, council also asked the group to yarn bomb a series of poles lining central Geelong’s Lt Ryrie St car park, simply for “the cost of our yarn and our coffee”. The secret band often meets at Urban Bean community café where numbers have been growing organically. Inger said preparing a large
project took up to three months, with the objects carefully measured before the almost militaryprecision installation. “We’re knitting or crocheting almost daily but we’ve had a lot of good feedback from our projects so far “Our basic philosophy is to put a smile on someone’s face and colour into drabness. We will yarn bomb anything that stands still long enough. “Yarn is easily removed and doesn’t damage what it is applied to but it adds colour and brightness. We love doing it. “We’d like to be taken more seriously – we feel that we’re achieving some legitimacy as a form of textile art.” Inger said anyone interested in becoming yarn bomber should start knitting and keep an eye peeled for the group’s next installation or ask around for a wordof-mouth introduction.

BUCKETS to parking inspectors. My son was fined even though he had a parking ticket on his dashboard. Realising the inspector had the wrong time, my son sent a copy to council and was let off the fine but got a warning for placing his ticket upside down. What rot!

Heads up to irony IT WAS ironic that a letter headline in last week’s Independent, ‘Say nein to food Nazis’, followed Gavin Brown’s effusion. The headline encapsulated the thrust of his letter criticising Alan Barron and Thomas Watson, that “there is no time for debating – the science is clear” and “I call on the Independent to…refrain from printing material...”. The same sentiments were put into effect in Nazi Germany – and look where that got everyone! Mr Brown seemed enthusiastically critical about Mr Watson “throwing straw-man arguments that carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a toxin”. I suggest that Mr Brown checks his facts at environment.gov.au where he will find that CO2 is not on the official list of toxins. I imagine that CO2 is the “carbon” to which he referred when he said: “Earth’s heat content is growing consistently as we pump more carbon into the atmosphere”. He needs to know that CO2 is wonderfully beneficial to life on Earth and also heavier than air. Perhaps he can explain how “carbon” floats into the atmosphere to cause a problem. He also evidently considers Professor Tim Flannery’s pronouncements as beyond question. Prof Flannery’s book The Weather Makers was found by Dr Wes Allen to contain a mere 577 errors of fact. Mr Brown might be of the green political persuasion. The founding chairman of the German Green Party was August Haussleiter, a Nazi SS officer who was part of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch in 1922 – hence the irony of the headline. Michael Spencer Burwood

Cold discomfort GAVIN Brown criticised Thomas Watson for denying that CO2 is a toxin. But surely CO2 is the crucial plant food. When I worked in Holland market gardeners doubled CO2 in the air of their greenhouses to make veggies grow better. Mr Brown also criticised Alan Barron for warning of cooling ahead. If people are the main driver of climate then Mr Barron might be wrong but if the Sun drives climate then he is right. In the Roman Era Warm Period, which ended about 400AD, legionnaires grew wine-grapes in North Yorkshire. In the Medieval Warm Period, 950AD to 1300AD, Norse grain-growers colonised Greenland.

But during the quiet Sun of the Maunder Minimum, 1645 to 1715, it is said a third of the population of Europe died of cold, hunger and wars over food. The 300-year warming trend to the hyperactive Sun of the Modern Grand Maximum, in the second half of the 20th Century, is over. Soon the Sun is due to head into the next quiet period, the Landscheidt Minimum. A cold, dry world would be far worse for humanity than is our present warm, wet world. Bob Foster Queenscliff
Costly obsessions GAVIN Brown’s claims were at best dubious, at worst way off the beam. He referred, no doubt, to recent CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology reports forecasting a likely increase in extreme weather events. Time will tell whether they were true or false. The bureau frequently gets its weather predictions wrong and yet wants to tell us it can accurately predict the weather in 100 years’ time! Billions of dollars have been wiped off the value of coastal properties as a result of alarmist claims about rising sea levels. Global temperatures have been stable over the past 15 years, which even England’s Met Office now admits. Predictions are meaningless because input data can be easily manipulated to produce all sorts of dire predictions about future climate. One could be cynical and say alarmist predictions are made in order to justify continued funding. As for the increase in extreme weather events, they have declined 30 per cent over the past two decades despite the increasing CO2 levels. What poses a serious threat to our future is not anthropogenic carbon emissions but peddling misinformation in the name of science. Just because a scientist makes predictions concerning future climate does not make it fact or inevitable. Spending massive amounts of taxpayers’ money on an unproven theory is scandalous, as is spending billions on unreliable renewable energy. These obsessions are undermining a prosperous future for our nation, sending thousands of Aussie jobs offshore and driving up the cost of living. Alan Barron Grovedale

Euthanasia slippery slope on dark path A STORY in the December 28 Independent quoted former State Government minister Rod McKenzie apparently advocating euthanasia. He wanted the public on side over euthanasia but if we go down this slippery slope it’s a one-way journey. Susan Potts, who committed suicide with the help of Dr Phillip Nitschke, was a vibrant and healthy lady who only needed tender, loving care. Her niece said she could have lived another 10 years.
LIFE REMAINS: Advocacy of euthanasia is dangerous, a reader says. The niece was still grieving when interviewed on television
on November 11 and said there was no counselling, nothing, just the offer of suicide and encouragement to take her own life. Dr Nitschke has also said that depressed teens could access his advice on how to commit suicide. He also said there would be casualties. Any move in this direction is a dark path indeed. Jeannette Charles Geelong
They’re baaaack!
Out for the count
AT LAST! Where had those guys been? I have so missed their weekly anti-fluoridation rant (Letters, January 11). Perhaps they were off joining the anti-vaccination and anti-climate changers, which distracted them from the more-important task of the fight against fluoride. Never mind, they’re back, that’s the main thing. I looking forward to their next missile. Peter van Elden Highton
I THOUGHT I’d seen it all. A guy fronted up with a handful of notes, about 15, for deposit at a local bank. The teller immediately placed the notes in a counting machine, which malfunctioned. The teller asked the customer to go to another teller and counting machine. Why on Earth did the teller simply not count the notes concerned? It was pretty obvious the bank locked confidence in its staff’s ability to count. Presumably, if a customer fronted with more than one note it would be mandatory to use the counting machine. Also, what happens if all counting machines should break down? Presumably the bank would close. You’ve got to be joking. Australia, the clever country – I think not. Michael J Gamble Belmont
Optional vote preferred AT LAST some people are listening to common sense. If I have to vote and there are three candidates – one Liberal, one Labor and one Greens – and I choose to vote Liberal the current system insists that I must place numbers in every box. Therefore, my number two vote would be Labor, so I would give a vote to Labor after the initial count. I would not have wanted Labor to win the seat but my preference vote would help the ALP candidate win. But under optional preferential voting I could simply place the number one in the candidate of choice and not help the other parties and my single vote would not be discarded as informal. Bring on optional preferential voting – it’s fairer, more democratic and already used in other counties and other states. Bob Dare Portarlington

Trouble with Grunwald BOBBING UP: Kevin Mitchell
Jebs’ frontman here for a beer
AUSTRALIAN alternative rock star Kevin Mitchell will headline a sparkling entertainment line-up at next month’s inaugural Great Australian Beer Festival in Geelong, organisers have announced. Mitchell found fame with Western Australian rock band Jebediah before stepping out solo as alter-ego Bob Evans and forming four-piece Australian supergroup Basement Birds. The organisers said Mitchell would be the leading act on an “impressive” bill at Geelong Racecourse. Other acts to entertain patrons of “Geelong’s biggest alfresco beer garden” would include hot new band The Vaudeville Smash, Australia’s Got Talent semi-finalist Adam Hynes and Byron Bay duo The Firetree. The organisers said local talent would also feature, with songbird Izzy Losi to present her blend of contemporary, alternative, rock and classical styles. She had been “compared to the likes of Florence and the Machine, Kate Miller-Heidke, and Regina Spektor”, the organisers said. Great Australian Beer Festival will run at the racecourse from 11am to 7pm on 2 February.
HOMECOMING: Ash Grunwald plays The Wool Exchange next month.
CELEBRATING the new year playing alongside the Living End’s Scott Owen and Midnight Oil’s Rod Hirst at the Falls Festival was just the beginning of Ash Grunwald’s 2013 plans. “Playing alongside these rock gods was amazing because they know how to make massive sounds,” Grunwald professed. The blues and roots singersongwriter told the Independent that his “go, go, go” 2013 would include the final stages of his “most successful tour” when he plays songs from latest album Trouble’s Door at The Wool Exchange in Geelong. The Geelong gig on February 9 would be like “coming home”, he said. Grunwald was particularly excited about reuniting with fellow Torquay expat Mia Dyson. He reminisced about living in Torquay for five years when he connected with Dyson. “I remember meeting Mia when she was 18 and to this day I’m still friends with her.” Grunwald credited Dyson with helping him find a “medium” to produce Trouble’s Door. “Mia put me onto Pledge Music. It’s this great thing where you get fans to pledge money to help you record an
album.” Grunwald said he had enjoyed “doing the solo thing again” with his 50-show tour, believing it had brought him back to his “roots”. He considered the latest album a departure with its “less booty-shaking songs”, instead focusing on lyrics with “with a conscience”. “I’ve seen lovely areas of our country being threatened by coal seam gas mining and that really got me motivated to write songs about these issues. “It’s something I thought about for a long time but I wasn’t confident enough to sing about that kind of thing. “I thought ‘No one’s going to like this’ but then I decided to let myself off the hook and say ‘I’m a songwriter and I’ll write what I care about’.” Grunwald said the title track had become his favourite. The song sounded “really good” when he played it with Owen and Hirst. But Grunwald said music would be secondary to his life in March when he would become a father for the second time. “I might put the brakes on the Australian touring for a while ut I’m considering some oversees touring later on.”

OH WHAT a Night writer and cast member George Solomon insists the Four Seasons-inspired musical is so good it could draw crowds in someone’s lounge. “Our director (multi-award winner Michael Chapman) has a theory: a good show will be just as good in a 10,000-seat arena as in somebody’s living room and we have that kind of show,” Solomon told the Independent. He put the impact down largely to the cast’s “strong” acapella vocals, with only limited costume changes and “basic sets” required to fill out the show. “A good musical transcends costumes and sets but when we can have more elaborate sets we do.” Solomon said the four-strong American cast loved playing to
Australian audiences, particularly at regional gigs. He hoped to mingle with patrons following the February 10 show at Geelong Performing Arts Centre’s The Playhouse. “Last time we played in Australia people at the smaller shows came up to us and thanked us for coming. We don’t often get that at the bigger shows, so we love it.” Solomon recalled “jumping at the idea” when Chapman approached him more than four years ago to write the script for the show. “It was so much fun to put together the scripts and the comedy and it’s fantastic to see it’s still going strong.” Solomon believed the show’s The Four Seasons motown hits,
including Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry and Frankie Valli’s Grease, appealed to a wide audience. “Everyone from little kids to grandparents love this music, which is what’s so great about the show. “I love looking up and watching audiences mouthing the words and singing along.” But Solomon joked the performance sometimes turned into a “Chippendale show” when he donned his John Travolta costume. A woman once pinned him to the floor while he performed among the audience. “It took me a while but I finally managed to get myself free,” Solomon laughed.

Coming to the studio in February. Linda is currently studying and training intensively in Calligraphy Yoga and Qi Gong with Master Yang. Master Yang, pictured with Linda, has 45 years experience in the Qi energy and martial arts world. In the past, Master Yang was trained in his family’s system, which has 400 years history. He was also trained by many masters from energy based systems.

BEST SERVICE & GREATEST RANGE IN GEELONG! WE WON’T BE BEATEN ON PRICE!
Linda explained that “Calligraphy Yoga has been developed by Master Yang, over the past 16 years, by combining Chinese calligraphy ( continued, unbroken writing ) principles with traditional Indian yoga postures. Calligraphy Yoga uses the Dan Tian, or energy centre, the movements, flowing like a running stream improve blood flow and help cultivate chi in the body.” Linda added “I feel very honoured to be trained by and in the presence of a true Master. Calligraphy Yoga will bring the body back into balance, creating a feeling of “paradise” and happiness that comes from inside. This return to balance can help with relief of depression, high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, insomnia and other modern day ailments. Qi Gong is a combination of slow movements and controlled breathing that link to the Dan Tian. When Qi Gong is performed, cells in the body start to convert and are able to carry the energy from the Dan Tian around the body, physical longevity, mental peace and emotional happiness are a natural result of this style of training. Not only will classes commence soon, but we hope to bring Mater Yang to the studio to conduct a weekend of workshops for the public at the end of February“ Pilates & Yoga Styles runs 24 classes per week and is open 7 days, classes include Mat Pilates, Hatha Yoga, Power Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Rocket Yoga and Prenatal Yoga.

One World of care for children NEW LOCATION 162 Moorabool St,Geelong Vic 3220 (formerly Fletcher Jones Building) www.bellarineuniforms.com.au
ONE WORLD recognises that children aged three to five might need the added opportunity to attend a preschool group with their peers and to participate in a program catering specifically to their changing needs. Therefore, in addition to its family grouping facility, One World Children’s Centre also provides a pre-kinder program for three-year-olds and a funded four-year-old kindergarten program. Attending the three- year old pre-kinder program has the added
benefit of preparing children for the transition to preschool. In the three-year-old program children’s growing independence will be fostered and their selfawareness and self-esteem nurtured. They will also be provided with developmentally appropriate activities and experiences for further challenge and will be encouraged to explore relationships with others in a supportive and safe environment. The four-year-old kindergarten year is preparation for the
transition to primary school - an important year in any child’s development. As preschool children progress towards school age they require more challenges in experiences and more complexity in relationships to prepare for the transition to school and a lifetime of learning. In the year before starting primary school, One World’s highly experienced kindergarten teachers Catherine and Ann Mari help children prepare for this exciting new world.
Kinder 4 It’s not too late to enrol for 2013! Enjoy the convenience of an extended hours kindergarten program, whilst your child enjoys the benefits of participating in our innovative and individually tailored preschool program. Our professional team lead by Catherine, our early childhood qualified teacher, is committed to promoting your child’s natural curiosity and love of learning and to offer an educational program that focuses on the development of skills and knowledge that will support your child’s future development.

ONE OF the first questions asked at the launch of the Ford Territory back in 2004 was: “When will we get a diesel engine?” While we were assured that it was coming it took until mid-2011 for the economy engine to arrive, mainly because of the Ford American head office’s lack of interest in diesel engines in passenger vehicles, together with budget constraints caused by the global financial crisis. The 2.7-litre turbo-diesel in the Territory comes from the UK and has been around for several years in a variety of formats. It’s used in Land Rovers and Jaguars so is a well proven unit. In its Territory iteration, the 2.7-litre V6 diesel runs a single turbocharger that has variable geometry turbines and the latest in high-pressure injection with comprehensive electronic controls. Maximum power is 140 kilowatts, with torque of 440 Newton metres being produced between 1900 and 2500 revs. The start of that torque plateau, at 1900 rpm, isn’t as low as that of many
turbo-diesels these days, but the large capacity of the Ford engine means it should have plenty of grunt. The use of compacted graphite iron (CGI) as the material for the engine has kept weight down, resulting in a turbo-diesel that weighs the same as the, albeit larger, 4.0-litre petrol Falcon engine that continues to be used in the Territory. The latter engine has been revised to bring it up to much the same specifications as used in the new FG Falcon. Towing capacity of Territorys fitted with the diesel engine has been raised to 2.7 tonnes, that of the petrol unit remains at 2.3 tonnes. While engineering the Territory for the new diesel engine it made sense for Ford Australia to have a good look at the rest of the vehicle as well. This has resulted in many changes to refinement in the form of reduced interior noise and vibration. As well as alterations to the suspension and steering. Ford tells us it has done interior measurements on its new Territory and it’s now quieter than the previously best vehicle in this class, the Land Rover Discovery.

Finals bid alive
GEELONG Cricket Club kept its finals hopes alive last Saturday with a stunning victory over Footscray Edgewater at Merv Hughes Oval. Geelong’s bowlers set up the victory, dismissing Footscray for a measly 72 from just 24 overs. Marc Carson, 3/9, Jake Haberfield, 3/30, and Jake Reed, 3/19, all bowled exceptionally well to take a trio of wickets each. Despite a couple of hiccups along the way, the Cats secured victory by five wickets, Tom Elliott top-scoring with 18. With just four rounds remaining, all of which are two-day games, the pressure will be right on from here on in, starting with a crucial game against Dandenong, which sits just two places higher on the table. In Geelong Cricket Association the two sides outside the top six hoping to force their way in had mixed results. Grovedale made short work of Highton and has already secured victory heading into day two. Dylan Taylor was the destroyer, taking 6/38, while Chris Young leant good support with 3/27 as the Tigers dismissed the Heat for just 104. Michael McNeel, 26, Toby Hogg, 22, and Simon Pearce, 20
Local
cricket Jim Timberlake
not-out, all threw the bat to ensure they were ahead at the close of play. An outright victory might well be on the cards here. At Newtown & Chillwell, Leopold is right in it after dismissing its host for 172. Marcus Stow wound back the clock to take 5/46, while James Menzies did his bit with 4/40. With 16 overs to bat, the Lions wiped 39 off the deficit, although they lost two wickets in the process. This is season-on-the-line stuff for Leopold tomorrow. If it can chase down the remaining runs then its season will be well and truly alive. In division two St Peter’s faces a tough task to keep its finals hopes alive when it attempts to chase down Marshall’s 212. Stephen Illingworth took three wickets last week and will be relied upon again tomorrow with the bat. Newcomb & District continued its topsy-turvy season when
bottom placed Alexander Thomson racked up a very competitive 268. Richard Stanyon continued his amazing form, taking 6/53 for a season tally of 36 wickets. He’ll hope his batsmen can do their bit tomorrow or the team’s hopes of contesting the finals could slip away. Modewarre kept its slim hopes alive when it bowled Waurn Ponds out for 149, Scott Hovey the main striker with 4/22. Modewarre then took to the crease and scored 2/64 to finished well-placed to cause an upset and gain six valuable points tomorrow. In division three Teesdale would have thought it had done a reasonable job when it set ladder leaders Meredith 196 to win thanks to a fine 89 runs to Sam Hickleton. But a brutal counter assault by Ty Watts virtually stripped away any hope of victory. Watts bludgeoned 106 not-out from the 23 overs his side had to face and could well make a record score tomorrow. Little River looks like easily winning its match against Bannockburn, the Redbacks sitting at 1/61 chasing down the Tigers’ 154 all- out.

SUMMER STORIES: Logan Wood with a nice catch of whiting from Queenscliff, left, and Don Fisher shows off his 6kg snapper from St Leonards.
ANGLING was slightly slower over the past week despite excellent conditions. Some of the best captures were in freshwater, with Lismore’s Lake Tooliorook best. The open parts of the lake produced redfin on either vibes or ice jigs but the trout captures were particularly noteworthy. Boat anglers trolling generally reported the best results, with rainbows the dominant catch and only the occasional brown trout taken. Best lures were Tassie Devils in any of the gold colourations. Lake Purrumbete hosted reasonable trout fishing, with most caught on mudeye suspended under a bubble float. The area around Hoses and Shag rocks seemed the most productive. Trolling the lake early in the morning or late in the afternoon was best, again with Tassie Devils or Daiwa double-clutch lures. The Barwon River was still producing quality redfin, although anglers should consider fishing above Buckley Falls over coming weeks to avoid algal blooms. Plenty of carp should also remain available anywhere from Queen’s Park to Breakwater, with corn and bread baits fished in plenty of berley the key to success.
On the
bite Brian Long
McLeods Watering Hole at Drysdale also has algae but the carp seemrf unaffected. Stuart Davies grassed fish over 5kg, including seven on his last outing this week. Salmon over 2kg were taken from the rock platforms down the coast. Daniel Stevens spun up a dozen-plus at Mount Defiance as well as a couta over 1m long. Paul Palmer fishing for salmon near St George River, catching plenty around 900g until near dark when a shoal with many fish over 2kg arrived. Black Rock produced snapper, with the best area running from the sand dunes at the end of Bancoora Beach almost to the former outfall site. Kingfish arrived off Collendina. Many fish were 50cm to 65cm but bigger specimens were taken but Noel McLean jigged up three over 5kg on a 60g Braid Mauler. Salmon remained viable in and around The Rip, with their surface activity at times attracting plenty of attention from both birds and boats.
St Leonards to Queenscliff produced the best whiting action, with Logan Wood and dad Jason catching a combined tally of 21 from 36cm to 40cm. Stingaree Bay produced whiting averaging 30cm to 32cm late in the evenings and after dark. Swan Bay continued yielding outstanding flathead to more than 3kg along with garfish, mullet, salmon and leatherjacket. Tyson Grey caught and released seven gummy shark on his last outing off Point Wilson, the largest over 8kg. Snapper captures improved in the deeper water off St Leonards. Don Fisher landed a 6kg fish, while Nathan Robinson took a pair of a similar size on Monday evening. Geelong councillor John Irvine, who holds a sport and recreation portfolio, said he had been amazed by the amount of concern among recreational anglers about commercial fishing in the bays. He has invited anglers to express their concerns at a public forum from 7pm on January 23 at St Albans Football Club.
