Wards ‘push’ grows

Shaun Lewis is pictured tackling rugged terrain in the Surf Coast’s Otway Odyssey adventure race. But the future of the race and similar events is under attack, with academics labelling the races as environmental vandals. The criticism comes as Torquay’s Rapid Ascent, which runs the Otway event, basks in the glory of a prestigious award for one of its adventure races. FULL STORY, PAGE 11

would like to see more local representation.” Mr Spring said a ward councillor could help residents finally get a fair return on paying “some of the highest rates in Victoria”, he said. “The view is that we are not necessarily getting our fair share in terms of investment in infrastructure or support of local initiatives. At the same time residents have had to pay via special charge schemes for streetscape redevelopment and drainage works over and above their rates.” Lorne has been without a resident councillor for the past two council terms. Winchelsea resident and former Surf Coast councillor Lindsay Schroeter backed a move to wards. “A ward councillor for Winchelsea would be all right,” he said. “All the focus and spending is on the coast. They spent $20 million on a Taj Mahal (new council offices) that will end up costing $40 million in a swamp at Torquay.” Mr Schroeter also recommended a cut in councillor numbers. “Colac Otway’s a bigger shire and they’ve only got seven to Surf Coast’s nine.”

SURF Coast’s “forgotten” communities want their own ward councillors from a review of the shire’s electoral structure, according to representatives. They believe the existing structure of regional councillors puts too much focus on Torquay and Jan Juc at the expense of smaller centres such as Lorne and Winchelsea. The Independent reported last week that Victorian Electoral Commission was reviewing the shire ahead of council elections in 2012. The review would consider issues such as the number of councillors, whether they should be regional or ward-based and boundaries. Torquay councillor Ron Humphrey called last week for a return to ward councillors so representation was spread evenly around the shire. Lorne Community Association’s Peter Spring said his community felt ripped off under the existing structure. “We’re about as geographically remote from the new council offices as you can get and the community feels we’re the forgotten end of the shire in many respects,” Mr Spring said. “The feedback I’ve had from community members is that they

BY MICHELLE HERBISON COUNCIL charges on ratepayers for a proposed footpath at Portarlington “don’t add up”, according to a resident. Colin Evans said he thought the Fisher St footpath would have to be “four-foot thick” to cost council’s estimate of $102,295. “We think it’s just a money grab because residents will pay for it. Council seems to target Portarlington for user-pays schemes but whatever they touch they bugger up.” The Independent reported earlier this year that 20 Fisher St properties would each pay a share of $51,147, with council bearing the other half. Mr Evans said no one would use the new path along three blocks on the street’s western side and one on the right because paths were already on the opposite side of the road. “Ninety-nine per cent of people are against it. There wouldn’t be two people a day walk down this side of the street.” Mr Evans said he would struggle to pay the estimated $2839 for his 21-metre frontage because he was retired and on a pension. “I’ll just have to pull the money out of some savings or something. I’ll definitely object and neighbours both sides of me will be as well.” A City of Greater Geelong spokesperson said the footpaths would be an “essential community link” . “The special charge procedure is standard practice for the provision of backlog infrastructure in cases such as this.” The spokesperson said affected property owners could apply for council to consider their “economic circumstances”. Work would begin in mid-2012 if council decided to proceed after considering submissions.

in brief

Charlie takes on beautiful role to stop a little litter BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN LITTLE Charlie Roache doesn’t like rubbish. In fact, he dislikes rubbish so much that the Newtown 10-year-old decided to do something about it. Charlie’s determination won him selection for a new Keep Australia Beautiful national anti-litter campaign. “I hate litter in our state. It looks dirty, messy and is really unattractive to tourists,” Charlie said. The LITTLE Committee – Leading Integrated Taskforce Tackling Litter Everywhere – includes one child aged between eight and 12 from every state and territory. The group of little kids with a big job has already attended a parliamentary launch in Canberra, shot two television commercials and feature on a website at little.org.au. Charlie said his role on the committee was “exciting”. “We work with an ideas buddy to come up with ways of telling people how to stop littering,” he said. “Only 1.5 per cent of kids under 15 litter, so maybe the teenagers and adults are lazy or think it’s not cool to put rubbish in the bin. “But there needs to be more bins to make it easier for people.” Charlie said another of his ideas was to hold a school clean-up day every month. He was preparing a presentation for the school principal to outline his ideas. Charlie’s mum, Di Meade, said the LITTLE Committee met via a monthly video conference. Charlie applied online after receiving an application form at St Roberts Primary School, he said. Charlie won his way through an interview with the group’s mentor, former senator Natasha Stott Despoja. Ms Stott Despoja said the LITTLE Committee represented bright new ideas and enthusiasm for tackling a big issue. “Adults do most of the littering in Australia, so we’re putting kids in charge of fixing the problem,” she said.

Tourism trumps TWELVE businesses in the Geelong-Otway region have cleaned up this year’s RACV Victorian Tourism Awards, according to organisers. They said Queenscliff’s Big 4 Beacon Resort was the biggest winner of the local contingent, taking out its third consecutive Tourist and Caravan Parks award.

Research traveller WORK ON creating lighter cars has earned a Geelong researcher international travel to meet major manufacturers in the USA, UK and Europe, according to Deakin University. A spokesperson said Dr Mandy de Souza was one of six Victorian scientists to win a “prestigious” 2011 Victoria Fellowship for her studies on composite fibre materials for the next generation of energy-efficient cars.

Parrot protection A $500,000 funding boost will help protect habitat for an endangered parrot in the region, federal MP Darren Cheeseman has announced. He said the cash would go toward works on four saltmarsh areas that were home to the orange bellied parrot as well as other threatened species.

Track award GEELONG Racing Club’s synthetic track has won a Prime Minister’s Water Wise Award, according to Member for Corio Richard Marles. Mr Marles said the club was saving about 40,000 litres of water a year with the new track, which made it one of five finalists for the award.

Power checks POWERCOR staff are fanning our around the region to check the safety of power poles, according to a company spokesperson. The spokesperson said “pole top” inspections were underway at Corio, Norlane, Anakie and Lovely Banks, with inspectors using cameras on telescopic rods to identify potential risks of fires and power failures.

River talks

Cleaning up: Charlie Roache spreads his message.

AN “OPEN house” in Anglesea next week will explain the contentious findings of a review into the health of the town’s river, State Government has announced. A Government statement said representatives of various authorities as well as Alcoa would attend the session at Anglesea Community Hall from 6pm to 8pm Tuesday.

Group to lobby state for Alcoa power shift BY MICHELLE HERBISON A SURF Coast group plans to begin lobbying State Government next week to pay Alcoa for a switch to renewable energy by 2014. Anglesea Air Action said it would present a petition with more than 500 signatures to Victoria’s Parliament House on Tuesday. The petition also recommended a study to establish air pollutant levels at Anglesea, the group said. The campaign follows the Government controversially renewing a 50-year lease on Alcoa’s Anglesea coal mine to continue powering the company’s aluminium smelter at Point Henry.

Anglesea Air Action’s Sonia Ivetac said the open-cut brown coal mine land would eventually extend to within 500 metres of residents’ homes. “What was the State Government thinking when it renewed the coal mine lease without a health impact assessment?” she said. The action group planned to meet at Parliament House on Tuesday, with members wearing green to watch the tabling and noting of the petition. “By simply turning up we will increase the impact of the petition and show the strength of the local and surrounding communities,” the group said in a notice of the Melbourne meeting.

Member for South Barwon Andrew Katos, said the state’s agreement with Alcoa “struck the right balance” between protecting the ecosystem and providing security for the company. But he said renewable energy’s cost and inability to meet power demands made it “inappropriate and completely unrealistic” for Alcoa. A spokesperson for Alcoa said the company had investigated natural gas, solar, wave and wind power energy options. None were available at the price or scale to viably replace the coal-fired power station, the spokesperson said. “Current wholesale electricity

prices range between $40 and $50 a megawatt hour. The lowest cost renewable energy is wind at about $100 a megawatt hour.” Geelong Chamber of Commerce president Jim Walsh said the pending carbon tax would allow renewable energy companies to compete with traditional power providers. “The challenge is for alternative energy providers, having been given considerable assistance through the carbon tax, to make competitively-priced energy available. Companies like Alcoa needed to be competitive to survive and provide jobs in the region, so they’ll choose the most efficient energy source available.”

High dollar sends schoolies ‘to Bali’ he said. Schoolies, Australia’s endof-year celebrations for year 12 students, unofficially begins this weekend. Students traditionally flock to coastal areas including the Surf and Gold coasts for the three weeks of celebrations. Mr Duke said the dollar would change some plans this year. “In Bali they’ll get a lot more value for their dollar.” Mr Duke said behaviour of the majority of past schoolies on the Surf Coast had been “excellent”.

The celebrations also injected welcome spending into the area, he said. “Schoolies actually bring about $2 million of financial gain. That’s from surfing lessons to accommodation to fish and chips and of course alcohol.” Mr Duke said Torquay Lions Club would again host two barbeques for schoolies this year. “We want to encourage them to do things like surf lessons and horse riding rather than sit around and sleep all day then go out at night,” he said.

“They can have a great time but should look after their mates.” Geelong Police Inspector Bruce Kitchen said extra officers would allow Torquay and Lorne stations to operate 24 hours over the next three weeks. Police would be “firm but fair”, he said. Insp Kitchen warned schoolies of large fines for “behavioural offences”. “Residents need to be patient during this time and if unruly behaviour occurs they should contact the appropriate authority.”

BY MICHELLE HERBISON THE HIGH Australian dollar will draw some schoolies away from the Surf Coast to Bali instead this year, according to a traders’ group. Torquay Commerce and Tourism Association president Martin Duke said he was expecting fewer schoolies in the region this year. However, the region would still benefit because most of Torquay and Lorne’s accommodation that usually catered for schoolies was already booked,

PORTARLINGTON is on its way to becoming plastic bag-free, according to campaign organisers. Portarlington Primary School grade five and six students this week put on display posters highlighting environmental concerns about the bags. Port Art Network’s Jenny Macaulay said the posters would go on display around the town to spread the message. “They’ll be little reminders for people to look after our beaches.” Staying in Portarlington’s Jenny Wills said the campaign also included screening of a documentary about the impact of plastic bags. The group was pleased the community was getting on board. “Because we’re a marine township our litter’s effect on the environment is very marked. There need to be options for people and we want to make sure plastic is not the first option.”

DANGEROUS drivers face a police crackdown in Geelong after the city ranked worst in Victoria for road trauma, the TAC has warned. The organisation released figures this week showing Geelong had 443 crashes resulting in death or injury last year. The TAC also received 505 claims for injury in accidents across the region. Geelong had the state’s most “hospitalised” claims and the most from accident victims who spent more than 14 days in hospital, the TAC said. “Geelong accounted for 4.2 per cent of all TAC hospitalised claims, or more than one a day.” The TAC said 75 per cent of its Geelong claims were from drivers or passengers. Pedestrians accounted for 12 per cent of claims, motorcyclists nine and bicyclists five. The majority of Geelong crash injury victims were young, with 33 per cent aged under 18 and 23 per cent between 18 and 25. The TAC said crashes were

Trauma: Janet Dore. mostly at night on weekends. Weekday injuries in Geelong were highest during the day, spiking during morning and afternoon peak travel times. Trauma levels peaked in December, May and October. TAC chief executive officer Janet Dore said the statistics reflected the severity of accidents across the region.

“The good news is that this type of poor driver behaviour can be reversed and every Geelong resident has the power to turn the tide of this trend,” she said. The next five worst areas for road trauma were the municipal areas of Casey, Melbourne, Dandenong, Yarra Ranges and Mornington Peninsula. The TAC said it would work with Victoria Police to “coordinate enhanced activity focussing on drink and drug driving, speed and other driving offences”. The release of the TAC figures followed an Independent Shattered Lives series telling the stories of road accident survivors and the people who deal with the aftermath of smashes on the region’s roads. The Independent is also a partner in the TAC’s Talk the Toll Down campaign aimed at reducing accidents in regional Victoria. The campaign encourages Victorians to spread the road safety message to friends, family and associates, asking them to drive with care.

during summer. Reporting this season begins on November 28. The EPA monitors levels of enterococci per 100 mL because elevated levels are a sign of possible faecal pollution. The investigation trigger is 400 enterococci/100 mL. The report said a recording of 500 at St Helens on November 22 was investigated because it was a “dry-weather incident”. “The high bacterial water quality result was attributed to high bacterial levels found in nearby floating and deposited seagrass.” The report said potential sources of faecal pollution included stormwater run-off and river discharge after rain, bather “shedding” where no toilet facilities were available, leaks from toilets and septic tanks, sewage or wastewater treatment plant discharges, sewage overflows, wastewater reuse run-off, animal faeces, seagrass and boat sewage discharge. “As a general precaution, EPA advises against swimming near stormwater drains, rivers, streams and other outlets into Port Phillip Bay during rainfall events and for at least 24 to 48 hours afterward,” the report said.

LOCAL beaches have failed to meet Environment Protection Authority water quality targets 11 times, according to a new report. The EPA Beach Report said the worst level, recorded at Portarlington on January 10, was 8.5 times the limit. The beach recorded a bacterial level of 3400 compared to the “trigger” of 400. The report said beaches at St Helens, The Dell, Portarlington, St Leonards and Queenscliff all recorded instances triggering the EPA investigation level last summer. Geelong’s Eastern Beach was the only monitored area to receive a clean bill of health for bacterial levels. The report said record rain last summer triggered the increased in EPA water quality alerts. “Increased stormwater run-off and river flows into the bay after heavy rainfall increased the number of shortterm trigger exceedances. “In most cases, elevated bacterial levels were short-lived, returning below the trigger levels within 24 to 48 hours.” The EPA monitors 36 beaches in Port Phillip and Corio bays weekly

Prof Pickering said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When someone is heading for the finishing line after two days of fullon running, swimming and riding, (they) may not be focused on minimising their impacts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be easy to take a short cut, go off track to get around the people in front or slide about a bit on a bike when crossing that final creek.â&#x20AC;?

Rapid Ascent founder John Jacoby defended adventure races. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Competitors often dispersed across a wide area with negligible impact on the environment,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just rampaging through virgin bush.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Competitors follow defined routes on tracks and trails managed by the park authority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of our events last week was audited by the government environmental organisation and found there was little or no impact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot more things to worry about than a few runners and mountain bikers in a national park.â&#x20AC;? Mr Jacoby said his adventure events included an equipment wash to prevent spread of plant diseases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always work with the park authority because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in our interests not to stuff the area up.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN ACADEMICS have criticised adventure racing in national parks as a Surf Coast organiser of the events basks in tourism award glory. A People in Parks symposium at Griffith University highlighted concerns over adventure races as Torquay-based Rapid Ascent won the coveted tourism award for a mountain bike race in the Northern Territory. Associate Professor Catherine Pickering said the burgeoning popularity of adventure racing events threatened increased environmental damage to national parks. Prof Pickering singled out an Anaconda Adventure Race series, which is under Rapid Ascent management, as one of a growing number of threatening event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have lots of people doing the same thing at the same

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE REGION’S secondary schools will lose more than $500,000 for VCAL courses, a principal has estimated. Bellarine Secondary College’s Colin Sing said his school would lose about $68,000 under State Government cuts to Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning. “With 13 secondary schools in the region, its not hard to see it go over $500,000,” he said. Mr Sing was among principals to sign an open letter protesting the $48 million cut. VCAL gives students practical, skills-based education as an alternative to university-orientated VCE studies. “All we can do is continue putting pressure on the government

through the secondary principals association and local politicians to rescind the decision,” Mr Sing said. “Time is getting short to put VCAL coordinators in as a funded component of the budget. “We’re well into planning for the 2012 school year. We have 100 students in the program. “Clearly we need coordinators and the cuts mean some other programs in the school have to be chopped. We don’t want to be cutting other programs but we can’t run our VCAL program without coordinators.” Belmont High School’s Michael Caccamo said he faced a $38,000 cut. “We had 60 students in three groups and our VCAL program had extensive community links, which take a lot of time and effort

to develop. “Our students are engaged in community groups like Kalkee aged care, a number of primary schools, City of Greater Geelong, Port of Geelong and Barwon Water. “The cut means our staff member doesn’t have the time allowance to continue this work. “I’m also concerned about the quality of the program and that it won’t be as engaging.” Mr Caccamo said he was worried student retention in the program could fall. “We have already had parents contacting us asking whether the program will continue and in the same format. We intend to try running the program next year but the true impact of this won’t be felt until 2013.”

He said TAC and Rotary were working on an agreement that would allow some of the rescued equipment to go to not-for-profit mobility organisations in Victoria. The equipment often included items such as power wheelchairs valued at between $4000 and $10,000, he said. Central Geelong Rotary’s Geoff Hutchinson said the Club was “very proud” of the achievement. “This is a fantastic breakthrough because we had to find a

way of minimising risk to both organisations as well as to the new users of the equipment,” Mr Hutchinson said. “In each case an assessment is made on the retrieved equipment and it can be repaired, maintained and sometimes reissued to other TAC clients. “However, there has been a stockpile of surplus equipment and now it can benefit people who would otherwise have little chance to access it,” he said.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN MILLIONS of dollars worth of rehabilitation equipment has been rescued from landfill after a landmark agreement between a Geelong Rotary club and the TAC. TAC project manager Doug McDonald said the first batch of equipment worth $80,000 was ready for delivery. He said Rotary would donate much of the equipment to developing nations. The agreement was forged between the TAC and Geelong Central Rotary branch, where Mr McDonald is also a member. “The TAC spends millions of dollars in equipment for our clients each year. Smaller items are given to clients, but larger more expensive equipment is retrieved once clients no longer need it,” Mr McDonald said. “As part of our corporate social responsibility program the TAC now has an agreement with Rotary Australia World Community Service. “This initiative is one way for our organisation to engage with the community by donating this equipment and minimise our impact on the environment by reducing landfill and recycling a resource that is scarce in developing countries.” Mr McDonald said therapists often recommended new equipment for clients, forcing the TAC to dump perfectly good items over the years.

Ex-tip ‘top for conventions’

Heads of the rivers

SITING a convention centre on Hearne Pde would “make good use of degraded land”, according to Geelong councillor Barbara Abley. She said the former tip site had a “beautiful outlook”. The community would have opportunities to give feedback on the plan “at all stages” of the Geelong

Convention and Exhibition Centre project, she said Council’s choice of Hearne Pde has drawn criticism from some residents over concerns about loss of public open space. Council wants to build the centre along with a resort-style hotel, a spa centre and potentially a marina below Eastern Gardens.

Shell continuously monitors air emissions around the reﬁnery and reports the data online.

CARE ABOUT AIR? SHELL AIR QUALITY DATA IS ON LINE The air quality surrounding the refinery is monitored continuously at two locations and the latest data is now published on the Geelong refinery website. The data shows that for the first six months of 2011 the levels of benzene, sulphur dioxide and PM10 (particulates) continue to be well below EPA air quality intervention criteria. Visit www.shell.com.au/geelong to view the full results.

Facts About Shell Stacks Shell’s EPA licence allows visible emissions from one stack. During recent planned maintenance this stack was lifted down for repairs and lifted back in place. The stack is back in operation but the community may notice the emissions look whiter. Why is this so? During the maintenance work a special unit was installed which improves energy efﬁciency, helping reduce Shell’s CO2 footprint. However, it also cools emissions from this stack and this has increased condensation, leading to the visibility change. The emissions from this stack remain well within EPA licence limits.

FOR PEOPLE whose pastime involves being on the water, rowers spend a lot of time traversing the land. Barwon Rowing Club president Sean Drew said club members often travelled to rowing events all over the state. “There’s a lot of travelling to various regattas. For instance, we had crews in Adelaide for the recent masters games there,” Mr Drew said. “There are usually lots of weekend regattas in January and February, too.” Mr Drew said the club entered rowers in various events as they progressed through the sport. “Rowers go through different ratings as part of a points system around the state,” he explained. “If you win races you get more points, if you lose them you also lose points.” Geelong recently hosted the Head of the Barwon. Shortly beforehand an annual Corporate Head of the River, raising funds for Give Where You Live, attracted many new faces to the sport. “The Corporate Head of the River helps get people involved and gives them a taste of rowing in a club environment,” Mr Drew said. “We’ve had a few members join us after participating in the corporate cup.” Mr Drew believed the club was in a healthy position, running popular school and masters programs. “It’s more about participation and people having a good time. You can be serious if you want to be. “We’ve had members who have gone on to win world championships as well as multiple Victorian representatives. “But the main aim is to get as many as possible involved enjoying the physical benefits and the social networks and friendships. “Our club is anything but elitist because we have all walks of life involved.” The club runs learn-to-row sessions Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. Mr Drew said the club had put a lot of time and effort into redeveloping its base on the banks of the Barwon. The new clubhouse was undergoing finishing touches ahead of its official opening in late January. “The club has been going for 142 years and this promises to be one of the biggest events we’ve had in our history,” Mr Drew said. “It’s been a long drawn out process over 10 years to get it done, with new change rooms, kitchens and social rooms.” The redevelopment received funding contributions from City of Greater Geelong and State Government on top of many hours of club fundraising.

Carole, Belmont BOUQUETS to a lady on Bay FM on November 11 for her nice presentation. I hope she keeps going and wish her the best of luck. A Listener, Norlane BUCKETS to Department of Human Services for failing to provide me with a competent, professional and reliable tradesman despite three months of continual notice. I was treated like a second-class citizen because I was unable to spend all my time bunkered down in my unit due to my volunteer work. Steve, Norlane BUCKETS to the organisers of a kayak event on November 7. First I lost a fishing rod when a kayak became hooked on my line five feet from me. Then I lost my second rod when it was hooked on the motor of another boat involved in the event. Gary, Beaufort BOUQUETS to Sam at the James St bakery for his perfect coffee and service every morning. Love My Morning Coffee, Rippleside BUCKETS to Steve (Buckets and Bouquets, November 11) for complaining about three trips to the bank and two mobile phone calls to obtain a Centrelink payment. I drive to Geelong for work six days a week and also pay urgent bills but I’m not complaining, even while paying taxes. Terry, Clifton Springs BOUQUETS to Rhonda at City of Greater Geelong’s shopfront in Ocean Grove’s library complex for her pleasant attitude.

BUCKETS to residents in the Boundary Rd and Grafton St area for letting cats roam into neighbours’ gardens to defecate, leaving smelly messes for home owners to clean up. The same happens with dogs on front lawns. Where are the little bags to clean up the mess? Annoyed Garden Lover, St Albans Park BUCKETS to a business operator for being rude to a young girl enquiring about a job. Shame on you for belittling her in front of customers and myself. Unimpressed, Lara BUCKETS to a heartless driver who hit a white dog on Melbourne Rd, Norlane, about 2.30am on November 8, but failed to even slow down to see whether the poor think was okay. Would you have stopped if it had been a person? I hope you slept well. Danni, East Geelong BUCKETS to Concerned Taxpayer (Buckets and Bouquets, November 11). Why would anyone wear or be allocated hearing aids “for no good reason”? Your holier-than-thou comments were ill-informed and offensive. You should ask the offending deaf person what they went through to receive the aids. RU Talking To Me, Belmont

ON BEHALF of St Leonards Yacht Club & Motor Squadron, I write to thank Denis Plant for his comments on improvements to the club buildings over the past two years (Letters, November 11). Volunteers who gave their time and effort to complete the work and raise the funds required made this possible. In response to his concerns, I can confirm the club does hold a licence to sell alcohol to members and bona fide guests and operates in strict accordance with the Liquor Licensing Act. It is not a public bar. There is a kiosk serving coffee, cold soft drinks and snacks operated by volunteers and all proceeds return to the club. The cafe-style screens simply define the area licensed for consumption of alcohol and are only used when the bar is open. They do not restrict people walking in front of club. In 2009 the club worked with Bellarine Bayside to ensure the walk/cycle path along Lower Bluff Rd was directed behind the club for the safety of pedestrians and cyclists and that it included appropriate signage. We would like to reassure Mr Plant the club works hard to ensure the area it leases is well-maintained and extends that maintenance to the area on the south side of the club’s lease for the benefit of all who visit that beach. The club welcomes new members. Perhaps Mr Plant might consider joining to help us to maintain the foreshore for all to enjoy.

The club has more than 362 family members and allows many community groups to use its facilities, including local schools. The concrete path at the front of the club is to enable easier access for the elderly and disabled to the foreshore and was built by the club. It is dangerous to have a bike path go through this area, which is used by residents as their beach. Funds raised go toward the refurbishment of the clubrooms and also the maintenance of the surrounding foreshore. Donations are also made to local schools, junior sport clubs and the refurbishment of St Leonards Progress Hall. Dennis Smith St Leonards

Icon unnecessary FRANK Costa had many years living in Geelong and ample opportunity to set out his vision for Geelong and to take that vision to the people by running for mayor. The fact he neglected to do so leads me to think his latest call for some icon is just a bit of mischief making. Perhaps it’s one last pot-shot at Geelong’s council. Only a city that is seriously unsure of itself would be in need of the boost any icon would provide. Geelong is one of the most beautiful bay cities in the world. We have some of the best weather in the world. We don’t need buildings to make the city special. Kevin V Russell Geelong

Points for Plant DENIS Plant was wrong on almost every point he made about St Leonards Yacht Club and Motor Squadron. The club has never denied public access to foreshore land it leases to the high-water mark. Removable café-style barriers are to delineate a licensed area and permission has been granted by Bellarine Bayside to place them there. The club obtained all permits and displayed all relevant documentation for all works and licences. Nothing was done by stealth. There are no plans to run a pub or to have pokies on the foreshore. The signs on Bluff Rd are there so members know the club is open. The club has a kiosk catering for people using the beachfront at the club and it has been there since the

Housing rip-off SEVERAL concerned citizens have raised with me the issue of unequal revenue collection from public housing. Apart from the abuse some of these homes suffer from tenants, who respect little, why are one-bedroom units rented at the same price as some two or three-bedroom houses. As the larger properties have the potential to accommodate non-beneficiaries, or squatters, the taxpayer should have the right to confirm their dollars are invested properly by Department of Human Services carrying out a random bed count against the number of tenants authorised to use the dwellings.

I JOINED Minister for Manufacturing, Exports and Trade Richard Dalla-Riva in Geelong to announce funding support for manufacturer and exporter Huyck Wangner Australia. Huyck is the leading manufacturer and supplier of specially engineered consumable products used mainly in the production of paper and is a strong local business with a loyal workforce of 70. The great news is that the Baillieu Government’s assistance will help the business grow and generate a further 30 jobs. Huyck has been a significant manufacturer of textiles in Geelong since 1966 and is the last operation of its kind in Australia. Production is export-driven, with 90 per cent of goods sent to high-end paper markets in South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand and China. The Baillieu Government is assisting a range of businesses in the region to capitalise on export opportunities by supporting product innovation and technology development and through strengthening grassroots business partnerships. The minister also launched a new $800,000 industry partnership program to boost manufacturing jobs in the region and to support long-term growth in local manufacturing. I am pleased the minister has made a commitment to strengthen Geelong’s reputation as a hub of manufacturing excellence. I congratulate Geelong Manufacturing Council’s David Peart for pursuing the Coalition’s support for Huyck and the company’s Geelong operations manager, Dale Smith, for re-establishing the plant’s production after its closure in 2009. David Koch MLC Member for Western Victoria Region

Asleep on fluoride RECENT news of harm to kidneys from a herbal medicine deserves attention but greater threats are largely ignored. Every one of us now swallows fluoride acid routinely added to our water supplies but we are never warned by state health authorities. The USA National Research Council’s 2006 review of fluoride in water highlighted alarming science showing that moderate amounts of fluoride damages kidneys. USA authorities now warn kidney patients about fluoridated water. Our health departments, Kidney Health Australia and Geelong medical groups seem to be asleep at the wheel on this. David McRae Geelong West

THE DEBATE on climate change still rolls on. Many people consider the science too hard. This plays into the hands of powerful vested interests resisting any change. Like a clever defence lawyer, highlighting uncertainties and creating doubt seems to be working for the deniers. After all, it worked for a long time for the tobacco, drugs and asbestos industries. By turning our backs on climate science we risk losing our ability to halt the serious impact we are having on future generations and ecosystems. Society’s response to its environmental problems in previous lost civilisations always proved significant. There are few fortunes to be made in research. The motivating factors are mainly to discover truths and leave a legacy for others to benefit in the future. I would rather lean toward science and history. Bruce Holmes Portarlington

T he Barclay School of Ballet P roudly Presents:

Climate of lies SHAME on the Labor Government’s smiles over the passing for the carbon tax bills, showing arrogance toward any understanding of how climate is determined. Labor Member for Corio Richard Marles should know differently, for he has been presented with the reality on how seasons change and has forwarded this information to the appropriate members of his party. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. It can never rise over 5000 feet because it is a very heavy gas, having an atomic weight of 44. Without it we would never have the green leaves of grasses or trees. I draw readers attention to a paper titled Is New Zealand Globally Warming? Prepared by Dr Alberto Boretti of Ballarat University Science and published by Inderscience, the paper shows that New Zealand has not globally warmed. Neither has Australia. Australians have been lied to and are now asked to accept the bribes that go with the lie as compensation for the downgrading of successful Australian enterprises. Truth will eventually prevail.

Whatem ever for our arts LEADING Geelong musicians and singers have loaned their talents to a new fundraising CD for big kids. Blues legend Chris Wilson heads the line-up including Sarah Carroll and Angie Hilton, Sophia Katos and Lash78. Promoters said their CD, Whatem 2, featured original songs “that kids will love and parents won’t hate”. Proceeds would go to Bluebird Foundation, a Geelong based notfor-profit organisation dedicated to making quality arts programs aimed at all members of the community. The artists will launch Whatem 2 at Edge Geelong from 3pm this Saturday November 19 with a free live show. Bluebird Foundation’s Bron Lawson said the songs on the CD bridged the gap between kiddie bands like The Wiggles and top

40 hits. “Whatem 2 bravely charts the rocky road that children and parents navigate together from preschool to puberty,” she said. “With topics as varied as road trips, how to get on with your mates and bubble wrap, these songs are certain to hit the mark with five to 12-year-olds. “Musicians from the Geelong region have generously supported the project. “Many of the artists involved are parents themselves and were thrilled to have this vehicle for inspiring a love of music in children.” City of Greater Geelong and Medici Studios supported the CD’s recording. Lawson said more information, sales of Whatem 2 online and opportunities to support Bluebird Foundation were available by phoning 0438 577 214 or visiting www.bluebirdfoundationinc.org.au.

MSO’s chorus on pilgrimage to city basilica MELBOURNE Symphony Orchestra will present one of the most highly-anticipated premieres of the international choral calendar in Geelong on Sunday. The orchestra’s performance of Pilgrimage to Santiago will celebrate pilgrims’ centuries of journeys to the bones of St James in Spain’s Santiago de Compostela. Promoters said the MSO would make its own pilgrimage to St Mary’s Basilica for the “extraordinary a capella concert”. The concert also marks the 400th anniversary of the death of Spain’s greatest renaissance composer, Tomas Luis de Victoria. The pilgrims listened to de Victoria’s music as they journeyed along the route. The Geelong concert will feature the MSO chorus presenting music of de Victoria’s era and two contemporary tributes to the churches and musicians of the time. The program includes Victoria’s Vidi Speciosam. Contemporary English composers Joby Talbot and Gabriel Jackson write choral music celebrating the 16th Century compositions. The MSO Chorus will present the Australian premiere of Talbot’s Leon and the world premiere of Jackson’s To the Field of Stars. The concert, Pilgrimage to Santiago, will begin at the basilica 3pm Sunday. Organisers said tickets were available from Geelong Performing Arts Centre or at the door.

Corio’s coffee cafe VIVIENNE and Diana have transformed The Coffee Club in Corio Shopping Centre into a friendly place. “We’re just two girlfriends wanting to create a happy environment for people to come in and have a chat and something to eat,” Diana says. “We know many of our customers by name and always give everyone special attention.” After years of Diana working in retail and Vivienne in administration, the friends decided to “throw the towel in” and run a cafe like

they always wanted. Their success in just over a month has been outstanding. Located on the corner near a main entrance to the shopping centre, the cafe has glass windows yet provides more privacy and comfort than a food court. “Our slogan is ‘Where will I meet you’ because this is a great place for friends to meet,” Diana says. “We all know shopping can be stressful, so come in and chill and have a coffee.” The cafe is renowned for its all-

day breakfast, which includes bacon, tomato, toast and eggs poached, scrambled or fried. Diana says The Coffee Club’s “beautiful” signature-blend espresso coffee guarantees quality. The cafe will offer a buy-onemeal-get-one-half-price deal over the next few weeks. The Coffee Club’s VIP membership costs just $25 a year to enjoy two coffees for the price of one twice a day as well as a 10 per cent discount on food. The Coffee Club also offers 10 per cent discounts to pensioners.

Best quality coffee and service, relaxed atmosphere, enjoy a sit down meal with our large portion sizes or a snack on the go.

Raiders set up for fun aiders Bingo is especially set up to host fun, social and affordable games. The venue, at 54 Fellmongers Rd, Breakwater, hosts bingo sessions in afternoons and evenings seven days a week. Raiders’ Russell Enders says playing a few games while enjoying a bite to eat and a drink is a great social occasion. “It’s got to be the only game in the world where as soon as someone says ‘Eyes down’ and everyone stops talking. “Then as soon as the game finishes they all start nattering away again.” Each session consists of two, hour-long games with a 10-minute break in between. Russell says changes to the Saturday night games have made them very popular. “Saturday is the big night and now there is more prize money on offer.” Hot and cold food is available at reasonable

prices from the canteen, while tea and coffee is provided free. Raiders Bingo has comfortable, modern premises with air-conditioning, heating and ample car parking. Russell says the staff pride themselves on their quality of service. All bingo winners receive cash prizes of up to $1000, while various products are up for grabs in raffles. A promotional game called Cash Cringle is currently offering $195,000 in prize money. Russell says more new players as young as 20 are getting involved with bingo at Raiders. “It’s a good way to spend quality time with your parents or grandparents.” Raiders also offers paperless bingo on computer tablets, offering a great way for anyone inexperienced in the game to have an enjoyable experience.

WIN A $20 Cheesecake Shop voucher

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C & grease & line a 10cm x 20cm loaf pan. Sift flour & baking powder into a bowl, then stir in sugars & cinnamon. Add eggs, vanilla & banana & stir until well combined. Spread into prepared pan. 2. Bake for 45-50 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. 3. Meanwhile for the butter, place cheese, lemon curd & sugar in a food processor. Pulse briefly until just combined (don’t overwork or it’ll be too runny). Add the passionfruit & pulse 2-3 times to combine. Chill until ready to serve. (Passionfruit butter will keep in a sealed container for up to 1 week in the fridge.) 4. Slice the banana bread & serve with the passionfruit butter.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN ARIA-nominated Boy and Bear is heading back to Geelong – and looking forward to the visit. Vocalist Jon Hart said the band had “awesome” memories of its last local gig. “Last time we played in Geelong it was really loose and rowdy, a really full room,” Hart said. “Our tickets tend to move quite well in Geelong. It’s nice to be just an hour out of Melbourne and have lots of people come along. “We try not to play the same live show we did last time people came to see us. “Since we last played in Geelong we’ve released an album. Personally, as a music fan, whenever I go along I enjoy the show more when I’ve been able to listen to the album before.” The debut album, Moonfire, encapsulates all the elements that have made Boy and Bear Australian favourites: aching harmonies, booming drums, delicate acoustic textures and, of course, roaring singalongs. “Lately we’ve been doing two types of shows: sit-down theatretype shows in the bigger cities and some big club-pub shows,” Hart said. “It’s nice to keep the kind of shows we do mixed up when we’re on tour because it keeps the night fresh.” With a swag of ARIA nominations and industry accolades, Boy and Bear appears to have burst into the scene. “People often say ‘Things just

Moonfired up: Boy and Bear play in Geelong next week. happened so quickly for you guys’ but we’ve been playing in bands for years so our routine doesn’t feel massively different for us. It’s a privilege to do this full-time,” Hart reflected. “The show will be the tracks on the album coming to life in a way that’s slightly different but true to the fundamentals of the songs. “Our live shows are about putting harmonies together live with our string arrangements.

“We don’t use electronics or loops; what you hear is just us, so it’s pretty honest. “We did the album six months ago so the songs have grown as we’ve played them live. “We’re always making sure with our new material we go harder with the songs while stripping the intimate stuff back as well for impact.” Boy and Bear play at Bended Elbow next Wednesday.

ith the upcoming festive season quickly approaching, consumers will be looking frantically for extra cash to make Christmas and the new-year that little bit more special. Unfortunately, home loan repayments, bills, credit card payments, car loans and, in the case of small-business operators, a shortage of surplus cash mean few have the spare money they need. But this need not be the case. Consumers can simply take the step of consolidating all their debt into just one simple, lower weekly, fortnightly or monthly payment. Most lenders will also allow clients to take extra cash out for any worthwhile purpose, including much-needed business cash flow, home improvements, tax debts, school fees, outstanding rates et cetera.

BY ERIC BLAIR hen released here in 1998 the Land Rover Freelander represented a break from tradition in that it was the company’s first foray into the emerging ‘soft-road’ market that has since grown dramatically. Freelander 2 was given a midlife upgrade early in 2011. The most important changes are under the bonnet where it now comes with an upgraded turbodiesel engine. The 2011 Freelander comes with the choice of in-line sixcylinder petrol and two versions of four-cylinder common-rail turbo-diesel engines, 110 kW TD4 and 140 kW SD4. Both engines generate the same maximum torque of 420 Nm, 20 Nm more than in the previous model. The engines are mounted across the vehicle and drive through a permanent 4WD system with a number of electronic aids that, combined with the high engine torque, will allow Freelander 2 to go to places that are well outside the capability of most so-called 4WDs in today’s market. Both engines use a new variable geometry turbocharger that is water-cooled and so can run at a higher temperature thus reducing emissions. The engines are also compatible with 10 per cent biodiesel fuel, 5 per cent more than the previous engine, and are fitted with a fuel tank mis-fuelling device to prevent the tank from

The entry-level model is just called TD4 and is only available with six-speed manual transmission. The XS comes with either the i6 or TD4 engines; the SE with any of the three engines; while the top-of-the-range HSE is only available with the SD4 engine. All have six-speed automatic transmission only. Freelander cruises beautifully on the open road, with good ride qualities, a ride that’s generally quiet, and cornering ability that, while not to pure car standards, is probably greater than will ever be needed by the typical driver.

that many of the traction aids fitted for off-road use are also suited to sealed roads. Off the bitumen Freelander copes with everything that a semirugged route can provide with the torque and traction aids pulling it through some steepish hills in effortless fashion. Land Rover, now owned by Tata Motors, were able to report increased global sales of 26 per cent in 2010. Australian sales exactly matched that increase. Despite the takeover Land Rover has been allowed to manage its own affairs without any interference from its new Indian owners.

normally-aspirated petrol Foresters. This will also have appeal for those in the bush as well as `grey nomads’ wanting a smaller vehicle for a compact van or camper-trailer. It also maintains the Forester’s standard for rear vision with a one metre tall object positioned a metre away from the bumper being able to be seen by a driver when reversing. Noise, vibration and harshness are generally well controlled, though, as is often the way, Australian coarsechip surfaces can noticeably increase sound levels.

BY ERIC BLAIR ubaru’s Forester SUV is the only the second vehicle in the Japanese company’s range to receive a diesel engine, following on from the Outback which was released here in October 2009. The delay was caused by the need to develop the technology for Subaru’s flat-four ‘boxer’ engine. The engine has a capacity of 2.0 litres and puts out 108 kW of power, and a useful 350 Nm of torque between 1800-2400 rpm. At just 1600 rpm the engine has 340 Nm of torque on tap, so there’s lots of low-rev pulling power. We found it able to pull quite well from only 1200 revs if you use light ‘throttle’ pressure. The Forester 2.0D comes with a six-speed manual transmission, allwheel drive and self levelling rear suspension. With the manual gearbox, the new Subaru diesel engine sits nicely relaxed at 110 km/h at just under 2000 rpm in sixth gear. Diesel consumption is typically in the eight to nine litres per hundred kilometre range when driving around town. This isn’t particularly low by today’s standards but the Forester is quite a large vehicle these days and it pushes a fair bit of air aside. In the country the aforementioned high gearing means that fuel usage will drop to around six to seven litres per hundred. Forester diesel has a braked towing capacity of 1600 kg, 200 kg above the

ow-impact collisions typical in shopping centre car parks are annoying to say the least. Add to this the fact that people rarely own up to damaging other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cars. It has been noticed that drivers are often scared to back up any further due to very limited vision. These are the occasions where reverse sensors are very welcome. Bumper Master fits reversing sensors to help customers overcome fears of backing into objects or even pedestrians. Reversing sensors help prevent damage to ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cars as well as the vehicles of neighbours and other motorists. They can also help when backing out of tight garages and past narrow gateposts. Bumper Master can also help owners improve the appearance of bumpers when selling vehicles. Bumpers are the first part of any car to incur damage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and first impressions are important when trying to sell. All Bumper Master repairs come with a no-questions-asked warranty to give customers peace of mind. Best of all, most bumper repairs are done for less than the cost of insurance excesses. Located behind VicRoads at 3 Dowsett Street, South Geelong, Bumper Master has proven experience in providing an alternative repair service to bumper regions of any car. Owners wanting to improve the resale value of their cars should phone Bumper Master on 5221 0138.

sport Flailing Cats seek redemption GEELONG Cricket Club’s season went from bad to worse last weekend when it suffered a 55-run defeat to Camberwell on Saturday before losing a tense 20/20 fixture on Sunday after appearing to have the game well in hand. Liam Buchanan, Dom McGlinchey and Meyrick Buchanan all battled hard on Saturday to score half centuries and keep their side in it but once the Magpies broke through into the middle order the game was lost. The Cats posted a competitive total of 137 from their 20 overs on Sunday. Tom Elliot top-scored with 30, while Hayden Butterworth smashed a quick 21. Early wickets to Sam Scannell and Marc Carson, followed by some quality spin bowling saw Northcote eventually require 13 runs from the final. Unfortunately, Jeremy Hart was unable to finish the job when a towering six finished the game. This week Geelong hosts Casey South Melbourne in a match both teams need to win to keep their flailing finals hopes alive. Two of the powerhouse clubs of the past decade clash in division one of Geelong Cricket Association this round when Grovedale hosts East Belmont. Both clubs suffered rare losses last game, mean-

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE ing they will leave nothing in the tank to get back on the winners’ list. Grovedale suffered a shock first-day loss to South Barwon in a result that hasn’t been seen for many seasons and one the Tigers won’t want repeated any time soon. The only shining light was Nick Peterson’s 60 in the second innings as South Barwon pushed for an outright victory. East Belmont also had its colours lowered against reigning premier Geelong West. The Lions’ bowlers have been doing their bit, with Dave Lineen among the wickets in all four games so far, while young leg spinner Chris Williams has shown he could become

a good bowler at this level. But East’s batsmen have struggled to find any form or cohesion and, despite a century in round three to Chris Bambury, the runs column looks fairly sick and sorry. The return of Andrew Baars will add some experience and class at the top of the order but Grovedale appears slightly better placed and should win at home. Selections: ST JOSEPH’S v North Geelong, Manifold Heights v SOUTH BARWON, GEELONG WEST v Leopold, LARA v Bell Post Hill, NEWTOWN & CHILWELL v Highton. In division two, while it will be interesting to see how the revitalised Murgheboluc fares against St Albans Breakwater, it is the match between fifth placed St Peter’s and Waurn Ponds in fourth that holds the most intrigue. Both teams have two losses but Waurn Ponds enjoys a slight points difference due to an outright result against Torquay last round, thanks mainly to a pair of four-wicket hauls to Ian Newton and the heavy hitting of Mehul Naik The Saints also enjoyed a win last week, defeating Alexander Thomson to stay in touch with the top six. Veteran Gavin Nelson scored a fine half-century

and backed it up with three wickets, while David Boyd also snared three of his own. This will be an evenly contested match that will go right down to the wire but Waurn Ponds might be just too strong. Selections: Torquay v NEWCOMB & DISTRICT, Guild St Mary’s v GEELONG CITY, ST ALBANS BREAKWATER v Murgheboluc, Bell Park v THOMSON, Marshall v ALEXANDER THOMSON. The division three game between Shelford and North Shore could be the last chance for a while to claim a morale boosting win for either side. North Shore is yet to win a game, while Shelford managed to defeat Corio a month ago to at least avoid the bottom position on the table. Shelford will rely on division one premiership player Michael Lymer to have a big impact with both bat and ball. For the Seagulls, Rick Wills battled hard last round to top score and claim a wicket but he and his team mates might find this match too tough. Selections: Teesdale v MEREDITH, INVERLEIGH v Corio Bay, Winchelsea v BANNOCKBURN, Lethbridge v MODEWARRE, LITTLE RIVER v Corio.

Corio Bay serving up snapper of a lifetime for lucky first-timers On the bite

A-lure of fishing: Mark Deller with his 8kg-plus snapper taken while trolling the Wilson Spit area.

BRIAN LONG ANGLERS have enjoyed another week of fantastic snapper fishing, with many first-timers landing the fish of a lifetime. Joel Sabre made the trip down from Sydney to sample some of the snapper action and wasn’t disappointed. His first fish was 10.2kg and followed 10 minutes later by another beauty of 9.1kg. Hopefully Joel realises snapper of this size aren’t run of the mill. Mark Deller tried trolling a Rapala Tail Dance close to Wilson Spit when his rod folded. After a lengthy battle a strange looking 8kg snapper came alongside. Also trolling was Paul Hanley who boated a fish of 5.3kg on a deep-running Dr Evil fished hard up against the number three channel marker. Noel Carmichael fished among the many boats off Clifton Springs where his patience was eventually rewarded. Most boats had left by 9am but soon after the fish came on the bite, with multiple rods folding for a return of three fish over 4kg each. The same area rewarded eight-year-old Brunswick Sharp who showed up her dad, Glenn, with a 9.5kg snapper. Rubbing salt into the wound, Glenn’s wife also caught a snapper over 9kg 20 minutes later. Paris Soetekouw nailed her first snapper from the outer-harbour to also show the boys how it’s done.

Paul Steer fished land-based with soft plastics at Hermsley to catch four flathead to 55cms. He switched to a squid jig as evening approached, catching his bag limit in just over an hour. Reports also came in of anglers exceeding their 10-squid limits in the Queenscliff area, which is to be discouraged. Salmon continued to be taken inside Swan Bay.

Gerry Jacks fished land-based at Point Lillias where he caught plenty of small snapper on the evening high tides until a 3kg fish made the long walk worthwhile. North Shore rocks also produced snapper, with James Heyne putting in plenty of time to catch his 6kg specimen. Samuel Faith cast soft plastics along Royal Geelong Yacht Club’s retaining wall where small snapper dominated but a few nice flathead and salmon over 1kg made the trip rewarding. Ken Arnold fished the outer-harbour spoil grounds for a great bag of pike, many over 1m. All

While not always visible, the fish have been caught with quiet trolls before switching to casting small lures. Bell Reef again produced a number of squid on low tide. Anglers should remember to fish in pairs because this location can be quite dangerous. Pinkies were biting well at Black Rock on fresh squid, with long casts required to clear the inshore reefs. Knowledgable anglers have been gathering bass yabbies for bait to catch some awesome bream in the Barwon River estuary. The fishing has been upstream of Sheepwash Rd. Carp were easily caught from the Barwon River at Breakwater or Fyans Park, with baits such as bread, corn and worms successful. Lake Tooliorook has had an influx of algae, which has quietened the fishing. Powerbait remains the best bait, while slow working lures such as SX 40s or X Rap 4s are also worth trying. A little further up the road, Deep Lake started to clear up. Rainbow trout better than 2kg have been landed, with Powerbait again ideal as well as similar lures to those used at Tooliorook. Bostock Reservoir continued to fish exceptionally well despite a small number of visiting anglers. Rainbow trout ranging from 800g to 1.2kg have been taken on a variety of baits. Fly will also work well, with small Woolly Buggers and nymphs best. Anglers returning from Lake Bolac reported that captures had diminished. Hopefully strong wind and rain this week will fire the lake up again. Readers should remember to keep sending in recent fishing photos to win an Asari Ultimate fishing package for Christmas. The competition for the 3.7m kayak with fishing gear, worth $2700, closes December 18. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Ave, Manifold Heights.
