WARRAN T NT

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN EAST Timor servicemen Andrew Hanns and Rob McClure recognise the irony of being called new veterans. “It’s a tradition that’s been going for 97 years and even though I’ve been out of the services for a decade I’m still relatively new to it,” Mr Hanns said. “In a way it’s painful that there is new blood joining the Anzac tradition, because it means there is still conflict happening.” Mr McClure said it was up to the newer additions to the Anzac tradition to “step up to the plate”. “It’s a grand old tradition the younger vets are proud to keep honouring. It’s the passing on of the baton. “While conflicts are still going on, it does produce younger blood to keep the tradition going. “I’ve been to Gallipoli and walked the cemeteries and walked Kokoda twice, so I have that connection with those who have gone before us. “It makes a difference to how you experience the day.” Mr Hanns admitted he shied away from Anzac Day for a while, fearing the memories it dredged up. “I’ve got mates still serving

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN WET AND windy weather failed to weary thousands of patrons attending Anzac Day services and marches across the region on Wednesday. Commemorations began with a 4.15am pre-dawn service at Peace Memorial in Geelong’s Johnstone Park before culminating in beers and two-up at a packed Geelong RSL. A solitary PC-9/A aircraft from Central Flying School, RAAF East Sale, flew over the Johnstone Park service. Services were also held at Geelong’s Boer War Memorial, Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Queenscliff and Norlane and Inverleigh RSL sub-branches. The region’s largest service, at Torquay’s Point Danger, attracted 6000 patrons. Retired Warrant Officer Paul Copeland used the service to honour Australian soldiers who “fought for the freedoms and liberty” taken for granted. Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove veterans celebrated the first Anzac Day since the amalgamation of their clubs in September. Ocean Grove Barwon Heads RSL’s John Dickinson said members were working cooperatively after “throwing rocks at each other for so many years”. Geelong RSL sub-branch president Rodney Meeke said falling in the middle of the working week meant Anzac Day had a different “feel” to last year. “Anzac Day falls outside the school holidays but we expected and received good support from the public,” he said. “Services in recent years have seen increases in attendance. This year marks the 70th anniversay of Kokoda. “About 30 different armed services units marched, with a greater complement of younger veterans from East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan. “Have the younger veterans adds a different tone and emphasies the importance of the defence forces and those who anwer the call. “It helps to keep the tradition of Gallipoli alive.”

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN SURF Coast councillors have put their controversial plan to redevelop Bells Beach “on hold” to trial a new bus licensing system. They voted on Tuesday night in favour of Cr Libby Coker’s motion to “defer the management plan for 12 months”. “We need to evaluate the effects of the new bus licensing agreement,” she said. The licensing system would charge buses visiting Bells $2 for each passenger, while students and children would pay $1.35. Councillors agreed to apply a “cap” on the charges of $10,000 for each tour operator. Council initially planned lower rates for the charges and caps but Cr Simon Northeast successfully proposed increases. He suggested that council cap bus numbers “by issuing licences

through a competitive allocation process”. Councillors agreed the revenue from licensing fees should go to maintaining Bells Beach Surfing Reserve. Cr Dean Webster said tour operators had enjoyed a “free-forall for a long time”. Cr Libby Mears said “people who make money out of public land should contribute to the maintenance of the land”. Bells Beach Preservation Society president Maurice Cole said the council’s decision was a “knee-jerk reaction” to community pressure. Council had yet to run a proper assessment of how bus licensing and its associated fees will work, he said. “The council hasn’t implemented a feasibility study or business plan for the licensing system. They’re just going to trial and

error for a year.” Mr Cole said he was concerned tour operators might be able to avoid to sign licensing agreements. “We believe that buses should not be allowed back into the reserve until operators have a licence. “We’re still concerned that unlicensed buses may hurt someone and that there’s no insurance to cover the damage but we’re seeking legal advice on that.” Mr Cole welcomed council deferring the management plan until after local government elections. “We’re very happy we got a year.” Mr Cole and preservation society members have been battling the management plan for the past year, fearing it would turn Bells into a “theme park”.

$130m bungle ‘could cause water bill pain’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN MORE rates pain could be in the pipeline after a $130 million bungle at Barwon Water, Essential Services Commission has warned. The commission said Barwon Water would need a “strong” case to seek further price rises to cover the unfunded infrastructure spending. Barwon Water failed to include the $130 million as part of a five-year plan in an application to the commission for price rises. The commission discovered the bungle when granting Barwon Water draft approval for a three per cent rise next financial year to pay for a Melbourne-Geelong pipeline.

The $15 rise on average residential bills would be on top of a previously approved hike of seven per cent. The increase equates to $127 for average business customers and $11 for tenants. The commission said Barwon Water exceeded price approval benchmarks by around $130 million. “This expenditure exceeding the benchmark combined with Barwon Water’s forecast operating expenditure may produce an upward impact on its prices in the next regulatory period,” the commission said. “We have not assessed the prudence and efficiency of Barwon Water’s actual or forecast expenditure. “This expenditure will require strong justification in Barwon Water’s

water plan should it seek to recover these costs through customer prices in the next regulatory period. “Nothing in this draft decision should be taken as our approval or otherwise of the prudence or efficiency of expenditure undertaken or planned by Barwon Water or taken as any approval of its prices for the next regulatory period.” Chairman Michael King said Barwon Water spent the $130 million on infrastruture projects including Armstrong Creek, Black Rock treatment plant and Torquay. The expenditure should have been included in Barwon Water’s five-year plan, Mr King said. Barwon Water was as yet unable to determine whether it would have to

scale back other projects, he said. “We have a number of projects coming up for determination over the next six months and we’ll make those decisions as they arrive. “As a board we are aware of the cost-of-living pressures in the community and our focus is to manage debt and keep rate rises to a minimum. “We have commissioned an efficiency and effectiveness report to look at all our costs.” Mr King said government grants of $25.5 million had partially offset the unfunded spending. State Water Minister Peter Walsh said Geelong families would suffer price increases to pay for the mistakes of the previous Labor government.

in brief Roads charge RATEPAYERS in two Barwon Heads streets face charges of up to $17,275 for road sealing. Ward councillor Andy Richards said council planned a special charge scheme on properties in Colite and Margate Sts “in partnership with residents” after fielding “a number of enquiries and complaints” about road surfaces.

River flush A THIRD flush of 380 million litres of reservoir water will benefit Moorabool River fish and platypus, according to Corangamite Catchment Management Authority. The authority said the final “summer fresh” allocation would begin this Friday in time for an autumn dispersal of juvenile platypus in the river.

Toilet talk GEELONG’S council wants to hear what residents have to say about public toilets. Council announced this week it was seeking public feedback on a review of the municipality’s 115 public toilets, which cost more than $1 million a year in upgrades and maintenance.

Festival funding A $52,500 funding injection is set to promote Portarlington’s 2012 National Celtic Festival in Melbourne and interstate. Tourism and Major Events Minister Louise Asher said the money would also support its “economic and potential job creation impacts”.

View protection A PLANNING scheme amendment could prevent construction of homes over 7.5-metres high to protect views in “key suburbs” of Geelong, according to council. Councillors voted this week to seek approval of the amendment to remove the height restriction in residential areas of 15 suburbs and towns while retaining it elsewhere in City of Greater Geelong.

Peak deliveries HELICOPTERS will deliver materials to help “fasttrack” a reopening of a popular lookout in You Yangs Regional Park, Parks Victoria has announced. A spokesperson said the gravel deliveries would restore a track washed away amid heavy rain in 2010 and 2011.

Text ‘first’ keeping watch on neighbourhood crime ed the service as a latest initiative to bring Neighbourhood Watch into the “technological era”. “We launched our Eyewatch Facebook page last month and the texting service was another initiative to modernise the program.” Sen Const King said the combination of Eyewatch and texting service would help Neighbourhood Watch reach a wider audience. He praised Geelong’s BCC Group for developing the technology.

Sen Const King said he approached BCC Group to help because of director Matthew Sun’s knowledge of technology and community involvement. “It was important we found someone who was interested in actively helping the community and Matthew was the perfect fit.” Mr Sun said he was “excited” to have helped Neighbourhood Watch. “I like to get involved with community projects, so working with Neighbourhood Watch has been great.”

Mr Sun said he ran a survey finding older respondents were limited users of social media, such as Facebook, but people of all ages had mobile phones. BCC Group designed the service to be simple and easy to use, Mr Sun said. Users could text NHW Reg to 0409 129 988 for “instant registration”. “The service is completely anonymous and you’ll only receive texts from Neighbourhood Watch,” Mr Sun said.

Opposition leader Daniel Andrews said the Geelong plan was already dead. “The problem is they don’t have the courage to look the people of Geelong in the eye and say they have ditched this plan.” Mr Andrews said the Webb Dock redevelopment would also mean traffic chaos between Melbourne and Geelong with thousands more trucks. Shipping Australia chief Llew Russell said the industry was anxious to hear the Government decision on shifting the car trade. “Our view is that Geelong has a whole lot of issues to be addressed, such as distance, the one-way shipping channel and lack of land.”

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG will be the base for a new national sports network to commercialise elite sports technology, officials have announced. Australian Sports Technologies Network interim chair James Demetriou said the network had wideranging support. Mr Demetriou, brother of AFL chief Andrew, said Geelong’s cluster of university and research organisations and sports technology businesses helped clinch the deal. “The $600 billion global sports market is the third biggest industry in the world and Australia enjoys a high level reputation internationally,” he said. “We have a high level of sports participation but the sports industry in Australia is fragmented, so we

need to work together. “We will introduce a multi-media showcase of our capabilities on a national and global basis. We will also initiate a sports technology market study so we understand the size of market and its opportunities.” The network had the support of the AFL as well as councils stategic group G21 Regional Alliance and City of Greater Geelong. CSIRO and tertiary institutions including Deakin University would participate, Mr Demetriou said. The network had also attracted Federal Government funding. “ASTN will run an annual conference to enable members to share information and we’ll run a boot camp for sports technologists,” Mr Demetriou said. “Developing an export plan for trade shows and trade missions will be another key component.”

announcement we can add that final piece to our study. We’ll be able to make that announcement shortly. “We’ll be talking to the car industry and we’ll be examining where it’s best to locate the car trade. “There are two clear choices: they can either go to Geelong or they can be located on the other side of Webb Dock. “There’s no doubt the car trade has indicated it would prefer to stay in Melbourne and there are some issues with land availability in Geelong.” Dr Napthine announced the car trade feasibility study early in 2010, saying it would generate up to 1000 jobs and $200 million for the city’s economy.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN PLANS for a new container port in Melbourne have cast further doubt over a proposal to relocate car shipping to Geelong. Ports Minister Denis Napthine said the $1.2 billion container port at Webb Dock was the “final piece in the jigsaw” for the Geelong proposal. Dr Napthine repeatedly said he did not want to pre-empt an announcement on the proposal. “Currently the export import car trade operates on both sides of Webb Dock. With this new development, containers are going onto this (larger) section of Webb Dock (and) the cars will need a new home. “Now that we have this

upgrade. Indented Head residents had also “worked hard for their facility”, he said. “It’s not about St Leonards-versus-Indented Head, it’s actually completely the opposite. No one’s trying to outdo each other; we’re just trying to provide a service.” Committee for Bellarine’s Tom O’Connor supported council partly funding the Indented Head hall upgrade. “The land is owned by the Crown on behalf of the community. Who gives a rat’s who manages it?” State Member for Bellarine Lisa Neville labelled the plan for council to fund the Indented Head project “good progress”. Council rarely funded facilities on Crown Land, she said. “It’s good council is starting to think about its responsibility to ratepayers and not use a technicality.” Ms Neville said State Government grant applications often required an initial commitment from council. “I don’t think there’s anything funny about this. Now council needs to be putting in a formal proposal to State Government, which is not unusual.” – Letters, page 18

BY MICHELLE HERBISON ST LEONARDS Progress Association has criticised a councillor’s pledge to seek $150,000 for upgrading the Indented Head community hall. Association president Paul Sproule said Cr John Doull’s support for the hall was “strange” because it was on Crown land. Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee was responsible for the site, not council, Mr Spoule said. “It doesn’t seem right that he’s got $150,000 for a State Government-owned and operated hall when there’s no indication State Government has it on their agenda.” The Independent reported last week that Cr Doull would encourage Geelong councillors to include in this year’s budget $150,000 to upgrade Indented Head’s hall. Cr Doull said Bellarine Bayside and State Government would have to contribute additional funding for the $600,000 project. Mr Sproule said the progress association had been fundraising for about 12 months for a $90,000 upgrade of the 86-year-old St Leonards Memorial Hall. “The progress association and the wider community are working very hard to raise funds to restore

statewide council elections on October 27. Ms Powell’s spokesperson said the mayoral vote would run in conjuction with ward councillor elections. “The councillors will be elected as they were last time, as 12 single-member wards with no change to their voting system. “The difference this time will be that voters get two ballot papers, one for their ward and one for the mayor.” The spokesperson said State Government was still considering the pay scale for Geelong’s new mayor. “The minister has said the pay rate for Melbourne’s mayor would be considered in the determination of the Geelong mayor.” Mr Doyle earns about $150,000 a year as Melbourne’s mayor. Incumbent Geelong Mayor John Mitchell was unsurprised the Government had chosed a preferential system. “We’ll work within the rules they put down. The preferential system is used at state and federal level.”

Preference for mayor BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN PREFERRENTIAL voting will choose Geelong’s first directly elected mayor, State Government has revealed. A spokesperson for Local Government minister Jeanette Powell said the system was unlikely to encourage dummy nominations standing only to direct preferences to particular candidates. “The laws were changed before the 2008 elections to require all candidates to nominate in person. This makes it that much more difficult for so-called dummy candidates to run,” the spokesperson said. The alternative to preferences would have been a first-past-the-post system in which residents would have voted only for the candidate of their choice. Geelong will be the second municipality in Victoria to have a directly elected mayor, with Robert Doyle presiding over City of Melbourne. Geelong residents will elect their mayor to a four-year term during

A pair of young Surf Coast athletes will run through Central Australia to raise money for children at the other end of the continent. Airey’s Inlet’s Ben Watts, 25, and Bellbrae’s Sarah Bredebusch, 17, will take on the harsh terrain around Uluru in an Australian Outback Marathon on July 28. The pair will use their outback challenge as a fundraiser for Cathy Freeman Foundation, which helps pay for the education of 500 children on Far North Queensland’s Palm Island. The remote community is regarded as the fourth mostdisadvantaged in Australia. Another island will be the setting for an additional fundraiser to help Watts and Bredebusch support the foundation. A Queenscliff Golf Club spokesperson said the club’s Swan Island course would host a charity event on May 19 to “assist Ben and Sarah’s fundraising”. The day of social and competition golf would have teeoffs at 7.30am and 12.30pm, with a barbecue and bar refreshments available. “All proceeds of the day will benefit the work of the Cathy

Freeman Foundation,” the spokesperson said. “Work group teams and families are encouraged to come and enjoy what’s on offer at the clubhouse in this most beautiful of settings.” Entry for non-members will

cost $20. The spokesperson said entries were available until May 16 by phoning the club on 5258 4344. More information was available at cathyfreemanfoundation.org.au.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG-BASED national retailer Target has embarked on a $1 million study to determine Australian sizes. Managing director Dene Rogers said Target would run Australia’s first national sizing study using 3D scanning technology. A state-of-the-art AlvaScan machine would circulate in key metropolitan Target stores to measure consumers’ bodies in less than 60 seconds, he said. The sophisticated scan would provide them with a take-home print out of their exact measurements. Mr Rogers hoped more than 20,000 customers would participate as the scanner travelled around Australia in the next five weeks. “Sizing inconsistencies are a major cause of customer frustration across the retail industry and the leading contributor of return rates for clothing both instore and online,” he said. “The study (is) designed to improve the fit and consistency of Target’s sizing range. By taking 60 seconds to be scanned consumers will not only find out their exact measurements, they’ll help Target find out what size Australians really are today. “We know Australian customers are confused and frustrated by inconsistent size labels on clothing items.” The scanner used latest radio wave technology to collect 200,000 data points on consumers standing fully clothed in a booth. The Alvanon scanner extracts 55 technical measurements from the 3D body shape for use in Target’s garment design and manufacturing processes. Target revealed the initiative to the Indpendent three weeks after another Geelong-based national retailer, Cotton On, announced “musical changerooms” for its stores.

ATMs at venues under scrutiny

Imogen in steps of star Higgins

City pokie study BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG will play a key role in a statewide gambling research project into the removal of ATMs from pokie venues. Research team leader Dr Anna Thomas said the number of pokies in Geelong made it an important region. The project would conduct surveys with people leaving Geelong region venues, she said. “We’re trying to get as broad a representation from metropolitan and regional areas as possible.” State Government has commissioned the project to evaluate removal of ATMs from Victorian gaming venues.

Dr Thomas said the study, running until next year, was seeking survey recruits. Each participants would receive a $50 Coles-Myer gift card. Dr Thomas said the Swinburne University-led study would evaluate the effectiveness of prohibiting ATMs in gaming venues. The study would investigate ATM removal on problem gambling and consumer protection for recreational gamblers as well as costs and unintended consequences. The study coincides with Geelong councillors rejecting plans for 40 poker machines at Fyansford Hotel. Geelong Gambling Advisory

Committee chair Cr Jan Farrell wanted the ATMs study findings made available to the public. “It’s important that any initiative is evaluated but the findings have to be made public in a timely manner without any censorship.” Removing ATMs from gambling venues had become a “Clayton’s solution”, Cr Farrell said. “The policy has morphed into patrons only having cash access if they leave the gaming room and go to the bar or dining area. “In fact, they can access more cash across the counter than they could from an ATM.”

Audition: Imogen Brough.

IMOGEN Brough hopes to follow in the steps of pop star Missy Higgins in this year’s Powercor Star Search. The former Matthew Flinders College student and aspiring singer/songwriter is aiming to emulate Higgins’ victory in the vocal category of the 2000 talent quest. Ms Brough performed one of her own works, The Celtic Song, at auditions for the Star Search grand final last week. Instrumental audition entries are still open at starsearch.net.au. Young vocalists, instrumentalists and groups will compete for a cash prize pool of $7000 at the Rotary Club of Highton event. Deakin University’s waterfront Costa Hall will host the Star Search grand final on May 11. Tickets cost $25 for adults, $20 for concession card holders and $55 for families from Geelong Performing Arts Centre. The Independent is a sponsor of Star Search.

WELL BEFORE Facebook, Twitter and You Tube, amateur radio was the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first social network. And far from being replaced by the internet, amateur radio uses the world wide web to enhance its reach. Amateur radio enables people to make contact with other enthusiasts across town, around the world, make new friends, pass on news or simply spend time chatting. The romance of radio is still alive and well in the region thanks to the efforts of Geelong Radio and Electronics Society and its parent, Geelong Amateur Radio Club. Long-time member and former GRES secretary Keith Stickland said amateur radio operators, also known as hams, loved sharing their experience and knowledge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All radio operators develop knowledge of electronics but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also branched out into computers and even amateur television,â&#x20AC;? Keith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We teach school groups, scout groups, adult classes, anyone

Join the club JOHN VAN KLAVEREN whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to learn about radio and electronics.â&#x20AC;? Keith said the contemporary amateur radio community included members experimenting with latest electronics and advanced technologies such as wireless digital communications, software defined radios (SDR) and long-distance digital and image transmissions. Radio also had a serious side, Keith said, acting as an alternative communications network when telephone systems or internet communications fail. In times of disaster radio amateurs could provide emergency communications support to rescue, relief and recovery efforts. Keith said ham operators were vital during earthquakes and tsunamis in recent years, including

disasters in Japan and Indonesia. In Australia, emergency communications were provided in response to 2009â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black Saturday bushfire disaster. Australia has more than 16,000 radio amateurs, with over two million around the world. Keith said the Geelong club ran radio field days, taking membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; equipment to various country locations and running a competition to see who could contact another ham the greatest distance away. The club won a national amateur radio competition, the John Moyle Field Day, a few years back. Keith said the club maintained a historic radio museum at Old Geelong Gaol, restoring valve radios and other early equipment. The club would run a demonstration and display at Steampacket Gardens on May 13 as part of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage festival, he said. Members would attend so patrons could get on the radio, find a ham operator and have a chat. Keith said more information about the club was available at vk3anr.org or by phoning Graham Day on 5282 1174.

buckets & bouquets BUCKETS to City of Greater Geelong for upsetting Portarlington residents over works on roads, curbs, channels, stormwater drainage and footpaths. I for one cannot afford $22,000 to $30,000. What about pensioners already worrying about the carbon tax? Bouquets to people objecting to this special charge scheme. Val Olerhead, Portarlington BUCKETS to paramedics who attended when my husband had a fall. The threehour delay might have been unavoidable but the arrogant, casual attitude was an insult. Bouquets to Ali, Sean and Jarrod for their invaluable help. Elizabeth, Herne Hill BUCKETS to a man who thinks he owns a reserve. Ratepayers own the reserve where kids like to play. His grumpy, bossy demeanour is unwanted and undeserved. My children value trees and the environment, so leave them alone. Grumpy, Herne Hill BOUQUETS to a considerate lady who paid the balance of my groceries at Woolworths Newtown before Easter when I ran out of money. Bouquets also to the checkout operator who consoled me as I began to cry over the kindness shown to me. Margaret, Geelong West BUCKETS to an employee at a coastal pharmacy who refused to help our eightyear-old son at 5pm on a Sunday after he had an allergic reaction to eggs. “You’ll have to go to Geelong”, she said as she shut the door. JLP, Strathmore BOUQUETS to motorists who stopped at a Shell Rd school crossing during holidays so my three grandchildren and I could enjoy a ride through town. We were able to safety walk our bikes across a road very busy with constant traffic. Grateful Nan, Ocean Grove BUCKETS to a rude old bloke who sat on my cushion at Readings Cinema. Partially disabled and on crutches, I asked him to move along one seat but he told me to sit elsewhere and too bad about my cushion. I had to grab my cushion away from his backside. 48 Today, Belmont BUCKETS to those on the other side. Acting for the betterment of the community means looking beyond one’s own interest. Boy, I’ve got vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals. Lil Bow Wow, St Leonards BOUQUETS to Harvey and staff at Des Munday & Son Engineering. Their knowledge and trouble-shooting skills allowed my machine to be repaired on the spot, saving me time, money and headaches. Oldschool service goes a long way. Happy Tradie, Geelong West BUCKETS to Norlane and Lara pools for closing during school holidays. Thank goodness for good old Eastern Beach. Disappointed Nan And Family, Lara

BOUQUETS to a lady in a small, white car for stopping on busy Pioneer Rd to collect my purse, cards and money, which must have fallen from the roof of my car. She delivered them to my front door before I was even aware I had lost them. Gwen, Grovedale BUCKETS to City of Greater Geelong for failing to enforce dog by-laws. Why is a particular owner allowed more than three dogs without the City taking action? How about coming out to enforce the by-laws. Still Waiting, Norlane BOUQUETS to a retired engraver and existing staff at Stan Wooton Locksmiths for generously engraving a perpetual Good Friday Appeal trophy auctioned each year for more than 10 years during Ocean Grove Bowls Club’s Good Friday fundraiser. Their efforts help raise valuable funds each year. Tina, Wandana Heights BOUQUETS to the kind people at Tasman Meats Newcomb, particularly butcher Paul for de-boning a leg of pork for me even though he was busy at the time on April 11. Customer, Bell Post Hill BOUQUETS to new Torquay Indian restaurant Taste of Spice. Your authentic cuisine tasted amazing and the friendly service was faultless. We will most definitely be back. Gilmore Family, Highton BUCKETS to Get Real (Buckets and Bouquets, April 20). If nature strips are ratepayer-owned assets then City of Greater Geelong should improve its maintenance of them. Nothing’s wrong with communityminded residents planting vegetable plots on their nature strips to feed neighbourhoods. Ratepayer, South Geelong BUCKETS to Get Real. Consider cheering up. Let people engage in their communities through creative communal vegetable gardens on nature strips. It’s a shame you can’t see the positives of these gardens, like how they bring people together to talk and share. I’d rather admire gardens than overgrown grass. Give It A Go, Geelong BUCKETS to Get Real. In our area people use nature strips for self-expression. If someone is happy to maintain it, it should be their right to use the space as they wish. We have a lovely rock garden nearby and it’s delightful. Move On, Brighton BUCKETS to Get Real. If you think being part of a community is hiding in your backyard then why bother coming out your front door. Root Vegetable, Highton

AS THE delivery operations manager of a busy North Geelong mail delivery centre, I understand the important role our posties play in the community. One postie who takes this role very seriously is Brendan Dempsey. When Brendan came across a house fire in Thompson Rd he pulled an elderly disabled woman he knew living there from the burning house. He was helped by another member of the public, further highlighting the strength of community in North Geelong. The local fire brigade was very impressed with Brendan and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe he got back on his bike to continue delivering the mail. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first time Brendan has been praised for his bravery â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he also pulled a dog from a burning house in 2010. We are very proud of Brendan and would like to publicly offer our congratulations and thank him for his customer focus and dedication. Simon Hill Australia Post North Geelong Delivery Centre

Critic shot down SUZANNE Roberts (Letters, April 13) misrepresented my March 31 defence of my right to hunt ducks. She wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr Matchan stated that dying naturally of starvation would be worse than being shot out of the skyâ&#x20AC;?. I said no such thing. I explained the background to annual natural attrition rates and that in the short hunting season hunters harvested a miniscule percentage of this surplus. I made no comparison between dying a slow death from starvation versus being shot. But I will now that I have been misrepresented. I have legally hunted ducks for the past 46 years throughout Australia, New Zealand, USA, Mexico, Italy, Spain, Germany and the Czech republic. From my own experience, observations, discussions and participation in hunter surveys, I can say that the vast majority of harvested ducks are killed outright when shot. The smaller percentage of wounded birds are generally quickly recovered and immediately dispatched. One unfortunate exception is when protestors are first to a wounded duck and steal the hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bird. A minute percentage of wounded birds are lost and either recover or die. Neither Ms Roberts nor I are can compare death by starvation, predation, disease or gunshot. It is apparent she has no firsthand experience or observations of recreational duck hunting. I respectfully suggest that she draw on facts and

experience rather than emotions based on illinformed advice when expressing her views. Gary Matchan Mount Doran

Puppy love I WOULD like to raise awareness of puppy farms. Some farms use parent dogs as expendable breeding machines and new-born puppies are just dollar signs. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why puppy farms would treat manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend so poorly and without respect. Do the breeders lack feelings of guilt or responsibility for the innocent creatures in their care? It is appalling these farms introduce puppies to life in a cold, stone, lonely jail. Buyers of puppies should consider the industry they are supporting. Dean Cardigan Belmont

Stripped of promise IN CITY of Greater Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Around the Wards, Cr Richards crows about his achievements in spending ratepayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money on sport, including two very expensive strips of psychedelic green rubber on Heyers Rd. His election material promised concrete footpaths on at least one side of every established street in Grovedale. How many footpaths have been installed? None. Coolabah Park is popular with all ages but anyone with babies or people with disabilities are forced to wheel prams and wheelchairs on the road. Is Cr Richards saying adult cyclists need protection from traffic but babies and people with disabilities donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t? Lee Gladwell Grovedale

One way to rorting THE BACKGROUND to the proposed aged care system is the evident rorting of aged care and social welfare. The effectiveness of government intervention to prevent or minimise is a function of doubtful competence of government systems, as exemplified in the ill-fated pink batts rorts and school building programs. To para phrase Darryl Huff, misinforming people by the use of statistical material may not be chicanery much of the time but incompetence. It is not certain that one is less offensive than the other to statisticians but as long as the mistakes are all one way it is hard to grant the guilty party the status of blundering innocent.

Hall cash a slap in face for Anzac Day

Funding: John Doull

I WAS appalled to read a story in last week’s Independent announcing that Cr John Doull was proposing use of ratepayer funds to restore Indented Head Hall. The hall is on Crown Land – it is not a council responsibility. This is a real smack in face for residents of St Leonards desperately trying to raise funds for the restoration of their community-

Dam coal mining ACCORDING to Allan Baron (Letters, April 20), coal is our only source of cheap power and thanks to the Greens “the family farm has been decimated by the arrogance of (Bob) Brown and his legion of ecowarriors”. Open-cut mining has destroyed 10 per cent of prime farmland in the Hunter Valley and pollutes the air for surrounding farming families. Victoria’s Liberals aim to expand the quarrying of brown coal in dairy farmland. Coal must be replaced by renewable energy to save the family farm. I would like to know how expanding coal mining won’t decimate farming in the long term. The Greens are right about ending coal. One area where the Greens are hard to understand is their no-dams policy. Dams can provide irrigation for family farms, hydropower for renewable energy, flood protection and environmental flow for rivers in times of drought. Kevin Guinane Gheringhap

Greens fighting CSG I HAVE just come from New South Wales’ north coast where farmers and councils are fighting coal seam gas (CSG) mining. CSG exploration in northern NSW came about because former Labor MP Ian Macdonald gave licences to explore the area. The Greens had nothing to do with it. I was living on the land at the time, had friends affected and went to many meetings about this issue. State and federal MPs were invited but never attended. Councillors and Greens were the only political attendees. Although most of us were National party voters

owned memorial hall. The announcement, in the leadup to Anzac Day, showed blatant lack of respect to the people who built the hall in 1926 as a permanent memorial to those of the district who lost their lives in fields of battle and complete disregard for the community of St Leonards. K Reiter St Leonards

our only choice for representation on this issue was the Greens. What would Alan Barron (Letters, April 20) have had us do? Most of us would rather have “loony Greens” in parliament than no one at all. Our state and federal governments seem no longer to represent the concerns of constituents. The NSW Liberal Government has put a moratorium on CSG mining. But one night after the moratorium I passed 18 trucks transporting mining equipment on the Pacific Hwy. Mr Barron should educate himself and stop blaming the Greens as the problem. Katherine Marchment Belmont

Courage of Brown IN HIS decades as an advocate for people and the environment, Bob Brown was shot at, beaten up, arrested, imprisoned and endured ceaseless insults and abuse from the ignorant. History, however, will judge him as a man of great conviction and tenacity who gave of himself unreservedly. At one point he stumped up $250,000 to save a man held hostage in Somalia. Under Mr Brown’s leadership the Greens forged a new way of seeing the world; a world where humans may live in harmony with nature and each other. Our world is under attack by the forces of greed like never before. The Greens don’t hold all the answers but more voters are hearing their message. Thank you, Bob Brown, for showing us we can be better people if only we had some of your courage. Leigh Adamson Belmont

Wigging out in Hairspray BY CHERIE DONNELLAN DONNING a wig and heels holds little trepidation for Geelong’s Lachy Joyce. But the high school drama teacher conceded playing the role of Edna in a local production of hit musical Hairspray would be a “challenge”. “It’d be easy to play her as a drag role but I think there’s so much more to Edna. “She’s a wife and mother...and there are a lot of nuances to her personality.” Joyce will be among local faces in the Geelong Lyric Theatre Society show next month. “We’ve tried to put our own spin on this classic musical and I think Geelong audiences will love it.” Joyce said his character had messages of acceptance, self-confidence and self-awareness. “I think her journey as an individual portrays some great morals.” Joyce said the Geelong production of Hairspray with a local cast was “great to promote the town and talent”. “We’ve got so many established Geelong actors in the show but we also have some fantastic new talent.” Joyce said theatre newcomer Charlotte Kavenagh would play Edna’s daughter, Tracy. “She’s fantastic in the role,” he enthused. The cast had enjoyed performing songs “so

well-known” to them. “It’s been great to bring these songs to life and put them on stage,” Joyce said. “There’s such an energy and buzz about the show. It’s catchy and captivating.” Joyce said his drama students had already bought tickets. “I’m so glad I can show my students that I can do it. “They put faith in me as an educator to know what I’m doing, so I want to keep up my skills as a performer. “If I can impart my passion to them and they’re keen to learn drama then I’m doing my job right.” Joyce said he had been putting in plenty of effort to nail Edna’s character. “During our rehearsals I’ve often been the first one there and the last one to leave. “In dress rehearsals I’ve had to put on the stockings, heels, dresses and fat suit. “Playing Edna requires lots of costumes and stage craft.” But Joyce wanted to stay away from “hammy” impressions. “You can’t just play Edna’s character for the cheap laughs. “I’ve tried so hard not to just be the man in the frock.” Hairspray will be at Geelong Performing Arts Centre from May 4 to 12.

Surfer minds in Surfworld DIRECTOR Justin Krumb will attend a “special season” screening of an awardwinning surf film in Torquay next week, according to a Surfworld Museum spokesperson. The spokesperson said Krumb would introduce Minds in the Water on May 3 and answer questions after the screening. Surfworld would screen the movie until May 6. The film follows professional surfer and environmentalist Dave Rastovich on a five-year international quest to protect dolphins, whales and ocean environments. Locations include Australia, Galapagos Islands, Tonga, California, Alaska and Japan. Surfers and artists appearing alongside Rastovich include Howie Cooke, Chris De Moro, Isabel Lucas, Joel Parkinson, Hannah Fraser, Kelly Slater and Jack Johnson. Johnson also joins Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Xavier Rudd and Ash Grundwald as a contributor to the soundtrack. Torquay’s 2012 Surfworld International Surf Festival gave Minds In The Water an inaugural Peter Troy Spirit Award.

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN AS THE youngest of 11 siblings, Jon Stevens always made his voice heard as a child. The rock and stage star of Scottish and Maori heritage told the Independent that music surrounded him at home in New Zealand as a “wee lad”. “There was always music playing in the house. It was what we did as a family. “You don’t realise it, but you just soak it in unconsciously.” After leaving his Kiwi home Stevens’ raspy rock vocals and powerful stage presence put him in front of legendary Australian bands Noiseworks and INXS. He won over audiences on stage as Judas in a 1992 tour of Jesus Christ Superstar as part of an Australian cast including John Farnham and Kate Ceberano. Now Stevens said he would show a Geelong audience his “energetic” nature during a Mother’s Day gig at Deakin’s Waterfront Cafe next month. “I like to be interactive and I want to have a good time on stage. I hope my audience will have fun too.” Stevens said he loved growing up in an era of great music, listening to the likes of The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. Stevens joined his first band at the age of 12, playing school assemblies. “We were s...house but it was awesome to play to a real audience anyway.” Stevens encountered few problems performing despite being a “very shy kid”. He considered “surviving – literally” an achievement in his own career. “I’ve had quite an eclectic career but the main thing is I’m still here, still breathing.” Stevens reflected on the recent death of Men at Work’s Greg Ham in Melbourne.

Survivor: Jon Stevens plays Geelong on Mother’s Day. “Musicians are often put on a pedestal and they’re expected to perform all the time...put on a face. “But we’re just people who want to create and be creative musically.” Stevens said Noiseworks’ creative juices were still flowing, with the band set to complete

another album. “We’re rocking better than ever.” Stevens believed that singing for Noiseworks made him a better performer. “As the years go by you get better at your craft. Not to blow my own horn but I think we’re pretty damn good,” he laughed.

Hyundai’s curvy SUV BY ERIC BLAIR yundai ix35 replaced the popular but conservatively-styled Tucson compact SUV. The newcomer is a more distinctive looking vehicle, more curvaceous with swooping lines, without being over the top in a manner that could frighten off potential buyers. The ix35 also launched the Hyundai family-look hexagonal grille that is being progressively used in all new Hyundai vehicles. It’s not only the body that looks ultra-modern, the interior design of the Hyundai ix35 is up to date. Style is what the new Hyundai ix35 is all about. But behind that futuristic face is a competent SUV that will suit many a family’s needs and

aspirations. The Hyundai ix35 has three trim levels: Active, Elite and Highlander, with a choice of three engines, two petrol and a turbo-diesel. Hyundai led the way when it created the Tucson City model with all the advantages of an SUV body styling, such as practicality and high driving position, but with the cost-saving of front-wheel drive. On the entertainment front the Hyundai ix35 has a quality audio system with auxiliary and USB ports and iPod compatibility. There are steering wheel mounted audio controls as well as buttons for the cruise control. With the seats up ix35 has a generous luggage capacity of 591 litres which increases to 1436 litres when the rear seat

Well rounded: Ultra modern, curvaceous styling is a big selling feature of the Hyundai ix35.

backrests are folded down. The turbo-diesel in our Highlander delivers effortless performance. The level of noise, vibration, harshness is acceptable although when pushed hard you certainly know there’s a diesel engine up there. Handling is pretty good for a relatively tall SUV. There’s a bit of body roll in corners if you push it moderately hard, but that’s acceptable in Asian SUVs. If you have a lot more to spend, we suggest trying the European competitors, though. As with the entire Hyundai range the ix35 comes with a fiveyear/unlimited distance warranty. This provides buyers with the option of selling their cars every three years with the attraction of a two-year warranty.

car - its large, comfortable seats at just the right height, there’s need to climb up or crouch down. The tall, square body means that all but the tallest occupants will travel in comfort. Two equipment levels are offered. The 1.6litre petrol model is Soul, the 1.6-litre diesel and 2.0-litre petrol are both Soul+. Both models come standard with front, side and curtain airbags, ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control, Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, hill-start assist and auxiliary / USB input sockets. Soul+ adds cruise control, leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, metal-look interior trim, roof rails, and ‘Soul’ embroidered seat and door trim. One noticeable difference between the two variants is in their wheels with the standard Soul having 15-inch steel wheels and the Soul+ jumping up to 18-inch alloys. The latter can reduce ride comfort on some roads so try for yourself before falling for their trendy looks. Both models come with a space-saver spare to improve luggage room. Kia Soul is something special. Not only is it visually stunning, it’s also a practical car at a modest price. Such is the nature of owners of funky cars that we feel it won’t be long before we see Soul car clubs (Soul mates?), and trendy souls driving their Souls on cruises with one another. As with all Kia models, Soul comes with a five year, unlimited kilometre warranty.

BY ERIC BLAIR ia Soul is a car for those who want a sensible, practical small car but also want to be noticed. Those who would love to own a car that stands out from the crowd such as the Mini or VW Beetle or the now-discontinued Chrysler PT Cruiser, but without spending quite as much money. From the get-go Kia targeted the youth market, no doubt thinking that the head-turning looks of the Soul would appeal to them. But during our road test we were quite surprised by the number of our baby-boomer contemporaries that commented favourably on the car. The combination of ease of entry, great visibility and interior space, including plenty of room for the grandkids and their gear all struck a chord. Continuing the Hyundai/Kia practice of using the Greek alphabet for its engine names, the new engine is appropriately enough called Nu, though if you are superstitious it’s the 13th letter in Greece. Anyway, it produces a maximum 122 kW of power and 200 Nm of torque and the engineering technology seems certain to defy any bad omens. Also retained in the Soul is the impressive 1.6-litre CRDI diesel with 94 kW and 260 Nm. Fuel consumption figures range from 5.2 litres per 100 kilometres in a manual diesel up to 7.5 L/100 km from the 2.0-litre petrol. We averaged 7.7 L/100 km during our test of the petrol. The sensible nature of the Soul is clear the moment you go to get into the

New version: The new Jeep Compass looks like a scaled-down version of the company’s flagship model Grand Cherokee.

Finding direction BY ERIC BLAIR hen it comes to 4WD vehicles Jeep enjoys an almost iconic status. Since the production of the first Jeep back in 1941 the name has been synonymous for rugged, go-anywhere vehicles but in recent years the company has been faced with the dilemma of addressing the desire of modern motorists for increased comfort and luxury in their vehicles. While Jeep had joined the trend towards luxury off-roaders with vehicles like its Grand Cherokee it took until 2007 for it to move into the booming softroader SUV market with the launch of the Jeep Compass. Sadly, due to below average sales, the Compass was discontinued in early 2010 although Patriot remained on sale. Now the Jeep Compass is back in a new format, with a body that makes it look like a compact ver-

sion of the Grand Cherokee. From most angles the styling of Compass is fairly conservative however from the front it is clearly a Jeep with the traditional combination of a big, seven-slot grille and round headlights. Jeep buyers have made it clear over the years that they want to hold on to the distinctive look of the original World War II vehicle. So the stylists must tread a fine line to satisfy the Jeep purists yet attract a whole new group of younger buyers. While the new Compass looks like the Grand Cherokee it has Jeep Patriot running gear – Patriot having a classic Jeep shape, while the Compass is very 2012 in its styling. The current Compass is an improvement over the previous model. Compass comes in two equipment levels: Sport and Limited. Both have AWD and the Sport model also now comes with a 2WD variant running grunt through the front wheels.

sport Leopold to hold off St Mary’s ST MARY’S and Leopold will enter Geelong Football League’s game of the day at Kardinia West Oval on Saturday with perfect records. New St Mary’s coach Jason Orr will be ecstatic with the performance of his team after many pundits wrote it off as too old and too slow. The form of Daniel Jull, Matt Hebbard and Flinn Chisholm has made a mockery of those early predictions. The quality of St Mary’s opponents in the opening two games was questionable but Leopold presents as a side going places this year. The Lions defeated the fancied Newtown last Saturday and will now rate itself a chance to match anyone. Greg Harty, Jeremy Larcombe and Matt Miller are hitting the ball hard and if Jason Tom and Jye Bolton can get a leave-pass from Werribee to play again this week the side will look very strong. St Mary’s has much to prove and will enjoy playing on its home ground but expect Leopold to win a close one.

Local Footy FRANK MASON Other selections: BELL PARK v Lara, North Shore v COLAC, St Alban’s v NEWTOWN, WEST SAINTS v Grovedale (Sunday).

BFL Queenscliff is showing no signs of a premiership hangover as it sits on top of Bellarine Football League’s ladder after three rounds. New coach Tom Limb has the runs on the board, which must be a huge relief because it’s a pretty hard gig taking over a successful side. The loss of Dylan Chaplin-Birch hasn’t unsettled the side too much, with the likes of Daniel DeGois,

Luke Orvis and Dan Measures stepping up in the forward line. On Saturday the Coutas travel to Anglesea to take on the Roos in the game of the round. Anglesea is coming off a thumping victory over Portarlington when everything went right. Veteran David Mensch kicked 14 and Brock Shiels also showed age is yet to catch up with him. The Coutas won’t let Mensch repeat last weekend’s antics but will be wary of his marking ability. This is an important match for Anglesea because it sits in fourth spot and should play finals but has a question mark over whether it can match it with the very top sides. Anglesea will get close but not close enough to take the points. Other selections: Amateurs v MODEWARRE, TORQUAY v Barwon Heads, Newcomb v OCEAN GROVE, DRYSDALE v Portarlington.

three this weekend, with the pick of the games between Inverleigh and Werribee Centrals game at Inverleigh. These two have had shocking starts to the year and it’s hard to believe last year’s semi finalists sit winless on the bottom two rungs of the ladder. Inverleigh has lost on-ballers David Peel, Brent McConachy and Jason Quinlivian and failed to recruit anyone to replace them. The results aren’t good and plenty of work remains ahead at Hawkland after such a promising 2011 when all three sides played finals in a breakthrough year for the once-battling club. Werribee Centrals is also in the hot seat. The team has a new coach in Luke Phipps and plenty of recruits but the results just aren’t there. Both sides have plenty to play for but it will be Werribee that runs on victorious. Other selections: EAST GEELONG v Belmont Lions, Thomson v BELL POST HILL, Corio v NORTH GEELONG, Geelong West v BANNOCKGeelong and District Football League plays round BURN, ANAKIE v Winchelsea.

Seek and ye shoal find: local anglers hale storm of salmon in surf

BRIAN LONG ALL TYPES of weather greeted anglers over the past week, with even a massive hailstorm catching me near Anglesea last weekend. The salmon were also biting a day earlier in calm seas with the sunshine warming at Fairhaven beach. Most anglers struggled along the coast in the clear, flat conditions. A number of moves was generally required to find a shoal of salmon, with good numbers taken on lure. Bernie Johnson fished Breamlea’s beach for salmon averaging around 1kg on high tide. Jan Juc produced similar-size fish. Tuna again rewarded anglers prepared to fish Portland and beyond. Most were 10kg to 16kg, with albacore ranging from 5kg to 15kg and stripey tuna of 3kg also common. Some big barrels were sighted off Portland in 400m to 500m but late in the afternoon when a hook-up would have resulted in a very late return. Hopefully some are landed in the coming days. Apollo Bay also produced small tuna in the same areas as this time last year. George Matthews fished the lead up to the flood tide at the entrance to Swan Bay twice, taking bag limits of whiting on both trips. His fish averaged 35cm but two beauties were 48cm. Paul Dickens also fishing the entrance to Swan Bay for his whiting bag limit along with a nice bag of flathead, the biggest 2.6kg. Paul reported that berley was the key to success on the flathead.

Turbo

Get reddie: Ellie Gibson with a brace of redfin from Lake Tooliorook. Stuart Campbell tried an after-dark session inside Swan Bay last weekend, catching an exceptional variety of species. By the time he packed up at 4am his tally included flathead, salmon, gummy shark, ling and two snapper better than 3kg. Soft plastics enthusiast Daniel Johnson struggled to find snapper while drifting Corio Bay’s outer-harbour spoil grounds. A move to Bird Rock changed his luck, with Daniel reaping a bag-limit catch of pinky snapper and one big fish over 3kg. Garfish were spread out but most of the inshore grass beds produced plenty of fish. A reasonable berley trail was required, with silverfish under a quill float successful. Anglers drifting with soft plastics over the Stingaree Bay spoil were rewarded with some fantastic rock flathead, many over 50cm. The area also produced snapper of around 1kg.

Perch ace: Ben Wentworth with a redfin from Lake Fyans. Land-based anglers caught some nice snapper at St Helens, with their fish generally between 30cm and 40cm. A variety of baits worked but squid and blue bait were best.

On the bite

Freshwater reports were fantastic. Lismore’s Lake Tooliorook produced awesome captures of redfin, most from 400g to 700gram. Live minnow was the favoured bait, while trolling bibbed lures such as the small Stumpjumpers and SX 40s was also worthwhile. Wayne Gibson and six-year-old daughter Ellie caught a nice bag on the troll last weekend. Rainbow trout were also taken with Powerbait fished on a running sinker rig. Deep Lake also returned good numbers of trout, again on Powerbait as well as live minnow fished under a float. Terry Knott caught and released 16 fish in his past two sessions at Deep Lake. Geelong and District Angling Club had its Wanders Cup contest at Lake Bolac last weekend, with 25 trout landed. Harry Bateman caught the best, weighing 2.39kg. Paul Stirling made the trek to Bostock Reservoir where he caught four rainbow trout better than 1kg each. Powerbait bought all the success. Lake Fyans became a popular destination for trout. Harrison Welsh fished mudeye under a float with outstanding results, catching four trout over 2kg along with two nice redfin over 1kg. Stan Peterson also found redfin, landing a dozen around 1kg on lure. West Barwon Reservoir attracted little attention, Danny Forbes arriving to find he had the lake all to himself. Danny cast SX40s along the main wall for three nice trout up to 1.8kg. Redfin were still caught from the Barwon River in Geelong. Queen’s Park all the way up to the ring road produced results, with small, bibbed lures doing the trick. This weekend’s late-afternoon high tides should suit the surf if the water is clean. Freshwater anglers are advised to fish Lake Tooliorook for redfin and trout. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Ave, Manifold Heights.
