Search begins to find missing link Bellarine ‘next’ for ring road

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN VICROADS has begun a study into the feasibility of linking Geelong’s ring road to the Bellarine Peninsula, Mayor John Mitchell has revealed.

Cr Mitchell said VicRoads would spend $300,000 on the study. “We’ve spoken to VicRoads and regional parliamentarians about it (the peninsula link) and it’s still one of our priorities. “We know there’s a way to go with that but it’s the missing piece of the region’s infrastructure.�

VicRoads this week announced two community information sessions on the ring road’s 4C Surf Coast Hwy extension.

A VicRoads’ spokesperson said 4C had no allowance for a connection to the peninsula.

But Cr Mitchell said the peninsula extension was firmly on council’s agenda. “I’d be surprised if the design couldn’t have extensions added to it. The ring road itself has already had three extensions that weren’t in the original plans.�

South Barwon MP Andrew Katos said the peninsula link alignment would be finalised after completion of a structure plan for the Horseshoe Bend Rd area. “Until the alignment is finalised it’s hard to plan for the

Pub smash, vandals in probes for Port police

BY MICHELLE HERBISON POLICE are investigating a series of vandalism incidents at Portarlington.

Portarlington police Sergeant Michael Knight said a group of vandals damaged the town’s primary school on the weekend of July 21 and 22. “They punched a hole in a shelter shed and they also set two bins on fire in the school. They smashed the pumps of the timers to the sewerage in the school,� Sgt Knight said.

Police were yet to lay charges but had names of teenage suspects, he said. “The enquiries are ongoing and we’re looking into it.�

Sgt Knight said police were also investigating other damage from vandalism in the area.

Last week Portarlington’s Grand Hotel suffered about $40,000 damage when a staff-member drove through its beer garden, Sgt Knight said.

Witnesses reported that the man, a kitchen hand in his 40s, had a verbal dispute before driving from the hotel’s rear car park and through its beer garden then into a tree. “It destroyed a marquee and the garden furniture and barricades. It was a miracle no one was killed or seriously injured,� Sgt Knight said. “One witness was hit by the mirror or the car as it went past but he didn’t require medical treatment.�

The man was taken to hospital with minor injuries and released this week.

Police were awaiting results from hospital blood tests to determine whether he was under the influence of alcohol.

Sgt Knight said police were preparing to question the man when the Independent went to press.

The Grand Hotel owners declined to comment.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN CITY OF Greater Geelong reneged on a $120,000 deal with four Corio manufacturers then tried to “blackmail” them, the companies have told the Independent.

They said the City broke a promise to reduce the costs of a special charge scheme in return for the manufacturers withdrawing their initial objections.

City officers then threatened to levy extra charges if the companies failed to pay the full amounts, they said.

“This was never mentioned before in the scheme, which amounts to blackmail,” the four wrote in a letter to the City.

Bates Pipes, Thornton Engineering, Geelong Galvanising and Lara Wreckers and Car Sales collectively wrote to the City objecting to the assessment.

Bob Bates said the deal was negotiated at a meeting with City chief executive officer Stephen Griffin and other officers.

The agreement amounted to a verbal contract, so the four businesses refused to pay the outstanding amounts, Mr Bates said.

The battle erupted over a special charge scheme to construct O’Briens Rd, Corio, and associated drainage works.

Mr Bates said the road offered little benefit to the businesses but plenty to the City’s Geelong Ring Road

Aggrieved: Bates Pipes’ Ben Bates.

Picture: Tommy Ritchie 84971 Employment Precinct.

“Council told us they were applying for a $2 million State Government grant but if we objected they would miss out on it,” Mr Bates said.

“If we did not object we would receive a large part of that grant as a reduction of our costs.

“The City said we would also benefit from any saving in the tender process once construc-

tion was completed and we would have six months interest free to pay.

“The project did come in under budget but those cost savings have been retained by council instead of being passed on to us, as promised.”

Mr Bates said the City never replied to the letter, sent three months ago.

“This is an abysmal and disgusting way to treat local man-

ufacturers. Together we employ 200 people, a third of Alcoa,” Mr Bates said.

“We’re already being hit with increased costs due to the global financial crises and the carbon tax.

“Companies like Alcoa and Ford get millions in handouts, while we get slugged.”

Mr Griffin said council had “honoured all commitments made to landowners during the course of the scheme’s implementation”.

The scheme included “significant works” at no cost to landowners, he said.

The works included a detention basin, an intersection of Bacchus Marsh and O’Briens roads and footpath crossings.

“The management of the special charge scheme has led to much lower project costs than the original estimate, which resulted in a significant benefit to landowners,” Mr Griffin said.

“I am satisfied the City has delivered a very cost-effective scheme (that) provides significant benefits to landowners.”

Mr Griffin said Regional Development Victoria was satisfied with the management of the project and the use of the grant.

City officers would write to the property owners setting out the details of the project.

Council had yet to finalise the special charge scheme, Mr Griffin said.

Prevention ‘key’ to $5m program for health issues

Long lunch: Health Minister David Davis, Mayor John Mitchell and South Barwon MP Andrew Katos launch the new health program.

Picture: Tommy Ritchie 84950

BY MICHELLE HERBISON GEELONG will receive $5.25 million from State Government to tackle health issues from obesity, smoking and alcohol as part of a prevention program.

Geelong Mayor John Mitchell said he was proud the region would be one of 14 local government areas across the state to take part in the threeyear prevention community model.

“This is a big opportunity for us to take a good hard look at our lifestyles and behaviours and make a change for the better.

“Unfortunately, Geelong has a higher percentage of overweight or obese people than the Victorian state average and the PCM provides us with a chance to properly address this issue,” he said.

A fact-sheet said the program’s key aims by 2015 were to decrease overweight, obesity and smoking rates and increase physical activity and vegetable consumption.

The program would aim to improve health in 95 per cent of schools and early childcare centres and 75 per cent of medium to large workplaces.

Cr Mitchell said City of Greater Geelong would work with the state and local health agencies to deliver the program.

A Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food based in Geelong would also help spread the message through cooking and nutrition education.

Victorian Health Minister David Davis said the program would include “tailored healthy living strategies” targeting disease-causing activities including smoking, poor nutrition, alcohol misuse and physical inactivity.

“This means health-promoting schools, workplaces, sporting clubs, health services – the places where people live their lives,” Mr Davis said.

The program would create 12 jobs at City of Greater Geelong.

State Government said it chose Geelong randomly from a group of regions it considered similar.

FORD will probably close its Geelong plant in 2016 when the company abandons manufacturing in Australia, a receiver has predicted.

PPB Advisory’s Stephen Longley cast doubt over Ford’s future based on his work with parts suppliers expecting to stop supplying the company in the next few years.

THE REGION’S water storages are almost 90 per cent full after further inflows in the past week, according to latest measurements.

Barwon Water figures showed 89.3 per cent capacity this week after recording 33mm of rain in the catchment area in the seven days to Wednesday.

Trees reprieve A STAND of historic trees along the Barwon River in Newtown has won a reprieve from felling, the region’s catchment management authority has announced.

The authority said it had deferred removal of the ash trees, which it described as “woody weeds”, following a council call last week to investigate their historical significance.

NDIS ‘improved’ VICTORIA has “improved” Federal Government’s plan to trial a National Disability Service Scheme branch in Geelong, according to Premier Ted Baillieu.

Mr Baillieu, who initially withheld Victoria’s support, said his offer to participate “not only matches but exceeds” a federal call for the state to provide $40 million for the Geelong trial.

Race win GEELONG has won hosting rights to Athletics Victoria’s prestigious Victorian Road Relay Championships, council has announced.

Council said Belmont’s criterium cycling track would host the championship after resurfacing works forced the event from its “traditional home” at Melbourne’s Sandown Raceway.

“In autism there are so few effective treatments that anything that has an affect is quite a big deal.”

Ms Villagonzalo said NAC was safe and naturally occurred in foods including leafy greens and red meat.

Researchers in the United States had undertaken a smaller-scale study of the drug on autistic children, finding it decreased repetitive behaviours, irritability and aggression.

Ms Villagonzalo said her supervisor, Deakin University’s Professor Michael Berk, had previously found NAC increased sociability in people with

schizophrenia.

“Sociability is a major issue in autism, so it might have some sort of effect in that area.”

The study so far had 50 participants from Geelong and Melbourne but “the more the merrier”, Ms Villagonzalo said.

Participants would need to take one capsule daily for six months.

“We don’t expect to find a cure by any means but we hope to help these families that are affected by autism because it’s not easy,” Ms Villagonzalo.

Barwon Health, Australian Rotary Health Research Fund and Deakin, Melbourne and Monash universities were involved in the study.

ALMOST $2 million in safety improvements will upgrade five intersections, a road and a pedestrian crossing in Geelong and on the Bellarine Peninsula, according to State Government.

The Government said Corio, Newtown, South Geelong, Norlane, St Leonards and Leopold would benefit from the works, along with Forest Rd to Lara.

The Independent reported in April that a group of parents was pushing for an autism-specific school in Geelong.

Group spokesperson Magic Barkley said the diagnosis rate of autism was increasing in the Geelong region.

The rate was as high as one in 25 in some areas, with 40 per cent of students at Nelson Park School having autism spectrum disorder, she said.

Ms Villagonzalo said a number of medications attempted to treat aggression or anxiety in autism sufferers but NAC was one of the first that hoped to address “what’s actually going on

Study probes autism links to antioxidants

BY MICHELLE HERBISON A GEELONG team of researchers is investigating whether antioxidants decrease symptoms of autism.

Doctoral student Kristi Villagonzalo said the six-month placebo-controlled study would determine the effects of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) on children aged between three and 10 with autism disorder.

She said the trial was in response to recent findings that autistic children had lower levels of antioxidants than their peers.

“Exposure to oxidants happens everyday and most people have enough to balance that out but we suspect kids with autism might be deficient in some way,” she said.

They will even make you an offer to buy anything their network of collectors are looking for. You could be in possession of something rare and sought after that could earn you a lot of money!!!

LOCAL ROADSHOW EXPERT EXAMINES SOME GOLD JEWELLERY

The Roadshow has been travelling the world in search of hidden treasures and is now in Geelong to see what surprises come through the door! They will be appraising and buying everything from gold and silver jewellery and coins to antiques and collectibles. Now is the time to search through those old boxes containing the silverware you no longer

At an event near Toronto, Canada, a man named Larry Wilkes brought in an old jewellery box full of items he had inherited from family members, over the years. It contained gold and silver jewellery and even some costume jewellery that is desirable to collectors. “I was very pleased to see that there was this much value in that old box!� Larry commented. “I have never been much for jewellery so I didn’t know what was in there all these years.� Larry traded in his jewellery box for $3,700! Expert appraiser Luc Bergevin explains, “There has never been a better time to sell gold or silver jewellery, flatware or coins. Many people are coming to realize that since the stock market prices of precious metals are now so high there is a lot of money to be made from things that are just collecting dust!�

At an event in Wellington, New Zealand, a woman named Lise Archambault arrived with a lot of silverware. “I’m sorry I didn’t polish it�, Lise said. It turned out that among her unpolished silverware was a rare and beautiful Victorian coffee and tea service made in London, England, in 1852 by Charles and George Fox. This set is highly desirable to collectors! Lise also had an assortment of newer sterling silverware. She decided to sell it all and received $5,000 for her items! “I am very happy that someone else could enjoy my silverware. But even happier that I can now take an overdue vacation!� Lise joked.

At another Roadshow event in London, England, man named Tom Miller brought in a sizeable coin collection, which included a rare 1933 Australian Shilling. “We were really pleased to see that coin, as it is very rare. We purchased it for $4,700. We also purchased an assortment of other coins from him for their silver content,� expert appraiser Lawrence Tyee explained. He went on to say, “more and more people are cashing in their coins for their silver content, which is wise because of how much silver is worth these days!� Australian coins from 1964

or older as well as many newer commemorative coins contain silver.

Many older foreign coins contain silver too. If you are not sure, the experts at the Roadshow can quickly let you know which ones contain silver and which ones are rare!

The Roadshow buys and appraises all kinds of antiques and collectibles.

Appraiser Sandy Johnstone recounts one of her more memorable experiences: “While working near Boston, U.S.A., a gentleman came to my table with two boxes full of things. In the second box he had a large collection of cast-iron banks that our collectors love and several tin wind-up toys which are also collectible...especially his tin wind-up Popeye on a tricycle made by Linemar in the 1950’s. It was still in its original box and in perfect condition. What a find! We wound up giving him over $2,000 for these gems! Everyone was super happy!�

THE EXPERTS AT THE ROADSHOW WILL BE HAPPY TO TEACH YOU ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE, LET YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS WORTH AND MAKE OFFERS TO BUY YOUR TREASURES!!!

Crash in north ‘traps two’ RESCUERS had to rip the side off one car and “fold” open the roof of another to free crash victims in North Geelong on Wednesday, according to the SES. An SES spokesperson said the victimes were trapped after the cars col-

lided at the intersection of Thompson Rd and Kelly Crt. Rescue crews comprising SES and CFA members “worked hard” to free the victims from the wreckage, the spokesperson said.

A lot of us give up too readily when we start out on a weight loss programme. Clients often beat themselves up after a weekend of eating and drinking, fearing that their hard work during the week has been totally in vain.

Although this is not the fastest road to your goal, I tell those clients to just put the weekend behind them, and continue to practice their healthy living during the week ahead.

Even if you have had a blowout on the weekend, it will still be a case of ’five steps forward and two steps backward’.

Just keep chipping away and persistence will pay off!

The website says City of Greater Geelong in partnership with State Government and existing GREP land owners was undertaking a “comprehensive program to provide key infrastructure”.

Stage one, currently underway, would create land “fully serviced and ready for development of business”.

Stage two aimed to open up large size lots in the north of the precinct through the provision of major drainage facilities.

“Stage three will consolidate an old residential estate ready for industrial development with major drainage infrastructure provided.”

The spokesman said negotiations were continuing with “potential buyers of several other (lots)”.

“The market for industrial land is very slow at the moment Australiawide.

“In line with this lull in the market, it is believed that the sale of the GREP block represents 50 per cent of recent industrial land sales in Geelong.

“The buyer of the lot is currently preparing to develop on the site.”

Council budget papers show an investment of $7 million in the project, which opened for sales more than a year ago.

The project has also raised two special charge schemes for a $7.4 million road construction and a $9 million major drainage scheme. Council received a State Government grant of $2 million toward the O’Briens Rd construction and $500,000 for an Elcho Drainage Scheme.

Council marketed the precinct as “a unique combination of value, amenity and location”.

Council expects the 500-hectare industrial estate to create 10,000 direct jobs.

‘Death car’ to shock drivers

‘Sand-boarding’ damages dunes

BY MICHELLE HERBISON AN INCREASE in “sandboarding” on dunes is hampering an “ongoing battle” to protect the region’s beaches, according to a coast management officer.

Barwon Coast Committee of Management’s Maddie Glynn said children riding bodyboards down sand dunes were causing erosion and significant damage to native vegetation.

“It might be really good fun but the sand’s so fragile – it doesn’t bind like soils,” Ms Glynn said.

“Once it’s exposed to the elements it either goes back down the beach or wind blows it further into the secondary dune, smothering native vegetation.”

Ms Glynn said Barwon Coast and Queenscliff’s Marine and Freshwater Discovery Centre would run a “hands-on” program this month aimed to educate students on dunes’ fragility.

Students from primary and high schools around the region were providing “manpower” to restore the dunes while learning about erosion, she said.

“It’s an in-your-face display and was useful to informing the public not only about the accident but promoting road safety.”

Sen Sgt Ferrara said police, State Emergency Service and Surf Coast Shire would use the display, which could move to different locations for “maximum exposure”.

“This display isn’t just aimed at younger drivers. All drivers should take this display as a seri-

ous warning about speed and driver error.”

Sen Sgt Ferrara said people aged 20 to 29 had the worst rate of serious injury and fatalities but the 70-plus group recorded the highest number of collisions.

The two leading types of collisions were vehicles into trees and into other cars, he said.

“The nature of our roads...is that they are often in rural settings. Trees line many of our roads and we have the winding Great Ocean Road where people can lose control of their cars.”

Sen Sgt Ferrara said most serious accidents were on weekends.

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN POLICE will use a car involved in a fatal smash to shock drivers into road safety across the region, according to a Surf Coast officer.

Senior Sergeant Angelo Ferrara said the display aimed to address increasing “concern” about rising fatalities and serious injury in Surf Coast crashes.

Police would use a car from a Gippsland crash until they had found a “suitable” vehicle from the Surf Coast.

The Gippsland car had been “quite successful” spreading the road safety message in Bass Coast Shire, he said.

Discovery Centre’s Alex Giannuzzi said revegetation was helping protect some areas but in others people were still blazing “their own trail to the beach”.

“We want to go for a swim or surf or go fishing at the beach but we have to stick to the paths

we’re meant to walk on.”

Ms Giannuzzi said involving students in planting ensured they were “learning through doing”.

A local aboriginal leader would also speak to them about sustainable coastal management, she said.

CFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first blood in donations challenge

Development of the strategy has involved lengthy consultation with community, stakeholders, industry and City staff.

The City is now inviting comment from members of the public about the draft.

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN GEELONG firefighters are challenging emergency services counterparts for the title of ultimate lifesaver.

An eight-week competition has pitted Victorian firefighters, police, paramedics and emergency response workers in battle over who can donate the most blood to Australian Red Cross.

The Country Fire Authority won last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenge, with Corioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading fireman â&#x20AC;&#x153;rallying the troopsâ&#x20AC;? for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the police or other emergency services having one over us.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going for gold,â&#x20AC;? Gavin Fitzgerald said.

the challenge, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the business of saving lives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to donate blood.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a firefighter there have been many occasions where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to help people out of serious situations who were injured and needed blood.â&#x20AC;?

Blood Service spokesman Shaun Inguanzo said one in three Australians would need blood in their lifetime but only one in 30 donated.

Readers could nominate their favourite emergency services when donating blood to help their team win the challenge, Mr Inguanzo said.

Anyone wanting to donate blood should phone 13 14 95 or visit www.donateblood .com.au.

BY MICHELLE HERBISON POLICE ARE missing opportunities to arrest drugged drivers due to a shortfall in training and equipment to run secondary tests, according to a Geelong highway patrol officer.

Senior Sergeant Shane Coles said he put forward a concept paper to Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divisional command requesting the problem be addressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Half our office is qualified in the initial saliva test but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been no training for the second part.â&#x20AC;?

Sen Sgt Coles said a roadside saliva test costing about $30 could indicate methamphetamine and cannabis but confirming a positive result required further testing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t confirm on the spot unless we have reasonable belief.â&#x20AC;?

Sen Sgt Coles said drivers who returned positive results in roadside assessments were taken to police stations for further videorecorded testing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long process. The technology is more complicated than for drink driving,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Sen Sgt Coles said analysis in Melbourne cost $600 a test.

Penalties for driving under the influence of drugs included fines of about $400 or a three-month loss of license, he said.

Penalties for drink driving with a .1 per cent blood alcohol limit was up to 12 months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The comparison is quite broad,â&#x20AC;? Sen Sgt Coles said.

Latest Transport Accident Commission statistics from 2010 show that 37 per cent of drivers and riders who died on Victorian roads tested positive to illegal and legal drugs.

About 18 per cent tested positive to cannabis and 5.3 per cent to illicit stimulant or amphetamine-type drugs.

TAC senior manager John Thompson said driving under the influence of drugs affected basic skills needed to stay safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest issue with drug driving is that the effects are so varied and unpredictable, meaning you can never be sure how your body will react.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Thompson said the road toll was down on last year but Victorians had â&#x20AC;&#x153;no room for complacencyâ&#x20AC;?.

Business festival focuses on retail RETAILERS will be a focus of a Geelong Small Business Festival during August, according to councillor Rod Macdonald.

The holder of council’s economic development portfolio said this year’s festival had numerous events “aimed at supporting and equipping retailers in a changing environment”.

“We recognise the important role retail plays in supporting the Geelong economy and we want to support those individuals taking on the challenge of running a business in this sector,” Cr

Macdonald said.

City of Greater Geelong and State Government support the festival to provide a range of information and workshop sessions to encourage business development in the region.

Retail-specific events beginning next week include a networking breakfast and sessions providing tips on merchandising, using social media and online marketing opportunities.

JULY was another month of above-average rain for the Geelong region.

The region has now topped its averages for the past four months.

In fact, July was the fifth month out of seven for the year during which Geelong has had aboveaverage rain.

We’ve scored 408mm so far compared to the long-term average 284mm for this time of year.

Apart from some of the area covering Golden Plains Shire and Anakie, the rest of the region from the Bellarine Peninsula to the western Otways has received above-average rain despite Bureau of Meteorology’s three-monthly prediction of only a 30 to 35 per cent chance of this eventuating.

So much for the reliability of the models!

We had only six days in July without rain, making the month seem much wetter than it was.

Under the weather LINDSAY SMAIL The average number of rain days in July is 17.

Many small totals were received, with the wettest 24 hours producing 11.6mm to 9am on July 2.

Lavers Hill in the Otways recorded 240mm, the highest in the state for July.

Daily maximum temperatures averaged 14.3C and minimums 6.7C at Breakwater. This is approximately half a degree warmer than the long-term average for the Geelong area.

Temperatures taken in urban environments can never be directly compared even from one year to another because of the gradually growing urban heat island effect, which seems to be quite active in Geelong, especially since the site change from Mt Duneed last year.

The region recorded three cold overnight temperatures below 2C, with the lowest falling to -1.2C on July 8th.

The coldest daily temperature struggled to 11.7C on July 1. The warmest was 17.9C on July 16.

JOHN VAN KLAVEREN EVERYONE has an opinion – just ask them.

Whether it holds up under scrutiny, debate and discussion is another matter.

One way to find out is to join the chatty folks at Philosophy Cafe, where small talk becomes big.

Not-for-profit organisation Paideia Australian runs the monthly evening specifically to organise interesting and challenging speakers.

Co-chairperson Therese van Wegen said the sessions at The Barking Dog provided lively discussion with questions, opinions and answers on contemporary issues.

“We introduced pub philosophy to the people of Geelong,” Therese said.

Geelong’s first Philosophy Cafe attracted 50 people from all walks of life with differing interests, she said.

“But they had one thing in common: an interest in discussing those issues that affect everyday life from philosophical perspectives.”

Therese said considering the world, life and individuals’ responses to it formed the basis of Philosophy Cafe discussions.

“They’re worldviews that help define the nature of the world, the individual’s place in it and its possible relationships,” she explained.

“That is of course the short version, as patrons of Philosophy Cafe will attest.

Big questions: Paideia board member Lindsay Dawson addresses Geelong’s Philosophy Cafe.

“We cover a diversity of topics from Greek tragedy to the ethics of euthanasia.” Therese said the café’s speakers were drawn from both academia and the general community.

“Deakin University was impressed with the project’s worth and committed some funding to support it.”

Therese said the initial Philosophy Cafe was so successful it led to other philosophical ventures such as Fun and Philosophy Weekends and Philosophy and Art. Paideia Australia now offers a

diversity of programs covering many aspects of life long learning, she said.

Reading groups and film nights and facilitated dialogues became part of the program.

Paideia is still affiliated with Deakin and other educational institutions supporting learning in the community.

Paideia operates on a subscriptions basis, offering internet access to all recordings of archived Philosophy Cafe speakers.

letters Kinder obstructed I WISH to refute the comments of Barwon Heads Association in last week’s Independent regarding the new Barwon Heads Early Learning Centre (ELC).

The association and its leadership do not speak for Barwon Heads and the membership demographic does not accurately represent the community.

If the association is neutral on the location of the ELC, why are some members, including the president, obstructing the process to establish a site for this desperately needed facility?

The association has done nothing to ensure basic education and health care for Barwon Heads families.

Barwon Heads Kindergarten Futures committee has been working diligently for three years to bring about a new kinder for our town. We have the support of state and local governments, our ward councillor and our state MP. A thorough process went over options for the primary school site until it was ruled out by a committee comprising all relevant stakeholders.

Council has conducted a public submissions process on the Village Park site, receiving around 800 submissions.

Has anyone not had their say?

Village Park is by far the best site for the kinder.

It is central to all residents, provides safe walking and cycling access and is superior to any other site for traffic safety and air quality.

To suggest the process is in any way rushed is ridiculous. The process has been exhaustive, extensive and far too prolonged, in fact.

The kinder needs to be started now before our kids miss out.

Anissa Yttrup Barwon Heads

Mind your vote DARREN Thurrowgood (Letters, July 20) claimed compulsory voting equals “mind control”.

Regardless of political affiliations, voting is the mechanism and sole opportunity we have to choose our governments and their direction on education, health reforms, foreign policy, welfare, taxes, defence et cetera.

Voting is a privilege we should utilise.

It identifies the plebiscite of the people and enacts a democratic process that should be protected and encouraged with arduous endeavour.

It makes me irate when citizens intentionally neglect their vote, exhibiting a weak effort and blatant cop-out.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would realise how important is the electoral process.

Joke’s on passengers GEELONG Taxi Network’s Peter Valentine might be convinced we have the best taxi service in the world (Independent, July 13) but I suggest he needs to broaden his horizons a little and sample what London or New York have to offer.

Geelong is a joke by comparison.

The 10 per cent so-called service charge by Cabcharge to process EFT payments (Independent, December 23) is a racket, pure and simple.

Why should I have to pay extra to use my own money?

The cab companies are not offering EFT as a convenience to me. They are doing it because without it they would lose business as people walked rather than took taxis I hope Reserve Bank of Australia gets on to this very soon and outlaws the practice. While it’s at it, the RBA can also reduce the service charge on credit transactions.

Ten per cent is simply extortion.

Kevin V Russell Geelong

Citizens of foreign autocracies under fascist control would consider it a prodigious achievement to be enabled to select their government.

Mr Thurrowgood doesn’t realise how lucky he is to reside in Australia.

It is inexcusable to leave the decision-making to sentient individuals – people who do vote – then complain of disillusionment with incumbent governments, citing conspiracy theories. What a hypocrite!

A 100 per cent voting participation rate would project an accurate assessment of the total population’s will.

Failure to vote is unpatriotic and indolent and exemplifies a pathetic lassitude in one’s own welfare and security.

Ralph Huisman Belmont

Fluoride’s all right UP UNTIL recently I have been able to remain indifferent to the whole fluoride saga that has been, let’s face it, playing out for ridiculously too long.

But reading a letter by Anna L Michalik in last week’s Independent made me break my resolve not to get involved.

The claim that Allan Jagger’s opinion (Letters, July 20) was an “obvious sign” that fluoride is “mind altering” was awful and preposterous. Just because someone goes against your opinion doesn’t give you the right to suggest their opinions are affected or crazy or what have you.

I am no expert but I am confident that more seri-

Flashback: The July 13 story.

ous damage could be done from drinking excessive amounts of alcohol than fluoridated water.

If hospitals are giving all patients tap water from Barwon Water then it must be all right. Would medical experts allow that if it was unsafe?

And, logically, by the time water reaches the tap the fluoride will be so diluted it’ll do little to no harm.

I respect the anti-fluoride people but I don’t like them trying to put unnecessary fear into the rest of the public.

You believe what you like but don’t scare others into believing the unproven facts about the dangers of fluoride.

Suzanne Bridson Herne Hill

A water diversion NOW RETIRED, I spent the last four years of my working life commuting from Geelong to Bega, New South Wales, which was 700km and seven hours travel time.

A favourite run took me through Tinamba and Maffra to Stratford to Bairnsdale. On occasion the road through Tinamba was interrupted by run-off from Glen Maggie Reservoir following heavy rain in the Mount Howitt area.

At this time Thomson Reservoir was under high stress due to demand and rain depletion in its catchment area. Knowing the area very well, I figured that a diversion on the Barkely River up above Licola could supplement the Thomson storage

because there was frequently excess run-off into Glen Maggie from this river and the Macalister.

The Brumby Government was in power but I figured this information would alleviate the stress on the Thomson.

A letter to the Water Minister was not acknowledged. My guess is that the water storage was a Hamer Government initiative, so the Brumby Government let it suffer.

Instead, the Brumby Government persisted with a desalination plant at Wonthaggi and the Thomson was emptied. Not funny!

With a change of government, I wrote a similar letter to the new Water Minister.

I had a very different response. He said a similar course of action was under consideration.

Now Thomson Reservoir is 70 per cent of capacity and rising. What to do with Wonthaggi?

Any takers for a cheap, unused desalination plant?

City on notice FOR THE information of residents, City of Greater Geelong was recently lawfully notified that it had no legal standing.

The notification was via a submission to a July 3 special hearing in council chambers of an objection to the sale of land in the northern areas of Geelong.

Hearing panel members included councillors Bruce Harwood and Barbra Abley. A number of people including me witnessed the occasion.

I have written previously that councils Australiawide have no constitutional recognition and therefore no ability to levy rates and so on due to this constraint.

The panel was advised to consider seeking constitutional legal advice on the matter.

Council rates are based on property valuation, so they are a tax council has no authority to levy.

Belmont residents and business owners affected by the announcement of council charges for a proposed car park development (Independent, July 13) should take particular note of this lawful notice.

Boxfit’s Brad Pedersen and Clint Alderton prepare for Training in the Tropics fitness camp.

Thai training oxfit Geelong is now taking enrolments for its Training in the Tropics September fitness camp.

The two-week course in Thailand will incorporate muay Thai boxing and fitness principles.

Boxfit head trainer Brad Pedersen says the “training holiday” is open to people of all ages and skill levels.

Participants will see “rapid weight loss” and increased fitness, while boxing enthusiasts could “enhance their serious combat skills”, he says.

The trainers will help participants focus on healthy eating and detox programs during the camp to maximise training potential.

“It’s very important to eat healthy while you’re training. People need to understand food for fuel principles,” Brad says.

Participants will train at renowned muay Thai instructor Master Toddy’s world-class gyms in Bangkok and Phuket.

B

“In my opinion, Master Toddy’s gyms are the best gyms in Thailand,” Brad says.

Participants will train twice daily, except Sunday, in two-hour sessions but training attendance is not compulsory.

“We’ll have a flexible training schedule for people needing time to recover,” Brad says Participants will also have free time to enjoy their holiday.

“There are plenty of opportunities to sightsee and relax. We’ll be staying in resorts that will also be five minutes from the beach.”

The Training in the Tropics package includes return airfares, accommodation, all training fees and most meals, with prices estimated from $2300 to $2500, subject to change.

More information is available by phoning Brad on 0417 344 813 or visiting www.boxfitgeelong .com.au .

Week of brain injury awareness rain Injury Awareness Week (BIAW) runs from August 13 to 19 with a timely reminder that more than 500,000 Australians, or 2.2 per cent of population, lives with brain injuries.

This number continues to grow as improvements in medical technology enable more people to live following a stroke, assault, accident, fall or illness.

Brain injuries impact entire families, with the implications and consequences of an injury often life-long. This translates to brain injuries directly impacting the lives of more than two million Australians.

Brain injury is much like a pebble dropping into a pond: the ripple effect for the individual can impact on all areas of their life and can flow through to immedi-

Brain injuries can have life-long impacts. ate and extended family and often an entire community.

The effects can be changes to the person physically, to medical, cognitive and sensory issues as well as emotional and psychological impacts such as grief, loss

and trauma.

Behaviour, social interaction, employment, education and even a person’s financial position can also be affected.

The main difference in the analogy is that the ripple effect from a pebble disappears quickly.

The ripple effects of brain injury are generally permanent.

The vast majority of brain injuries are preventable, which is a key message of this year’s BIAW theme, focussing on sport-related concussion and brain injury.

The week encourages thinking about how communities contribute to reforms in all sports and recreational pursuits to ensure that the brains of all participants are well-protected.

Information on Geelong BIAW activities are available at www.karingal.org.au.

Did you know that 1 in 45 Australians live with a brain injury?

he saying goes: We should eat like kings for breakfast, princes for lunch and paupers for dinner.

Ever skip breakfast, secretly hoping you’d fit into your jeans better?

It can be a natural thought. You might think it means more room in your waistband if you have less food in your belly.

Think again. Skirting the ritual of a breakfast because you want to stay in bed that bit longer can totally sabotage your waistline by setting you up for burning minimal kilojoules then experiencing a bigger appetite during the day.

In fact, breakfast skippers are twice as likely as those who eat breakfast to pile on kilos. This may be due to the fact that energydeprived breakfast skippers tend to be less active throughout the day, so they burn fewer kilojoules.

Also, skipping breakfast increases blood levels of a hunger-inducing hormone, in turn increasing the odds of downing a

NEW HOMES AND LAND

HOTONDO REBUILD KNOCKOUT PLENTY of land is available for building dream homes but for most owners nothing can beat having it in their own street. Buying old or run-down houses in areas where buyers want to live is becoming increasingly popular.

In other cases, buyers might love where they live but their home needs a facelift.

In these situations a knock-down-rebuild is the perfect solution because the owner remains on the block but receives a brandnew home.

A complete knock-down-rebuild can work out cheaper compared to renovating an old home from top to bottom.

All new homes also have a six-star energy rating, so running costs are cheaper.

Other advantages of knock-down-rebuilds include receiving a home up-to-date with latest safety standards and regulations, avoiding stamp duty if the land is already owned and the ability to design and build the

A knock-down-rebuild is the perfect solution for buyers who love where they live but want a new home.

perfect home.

Hotondo Homes can help clients at all stages of the knock-down-rebuild process, from organising demolition and removal to home design and construction.

Hotondo recently added another 11 new designs to its collection, so customers can now choose from over 90 floor plans.

The Lorne 302 in particular is ideal for a growing family planning a knock-downrebuild.

Drawing inspiration from the Surf Coast, the design’s bottom storey features a large openplan kitchen, meals and family area, a butler pantry, a study, a second living room, an outdoor alfresco and a double garage.

The top storey boasts four spacious bedrooms, the master featuring an en suite and his and hers walk-in-robes. The three remaining bedrooms have built-in-robes and proximity to a second bathroom and a kid’s zone.

Hotondo’s six builders in the Geelong, Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast areas are Mike Baric, Brad Nation, Nick Barker, Andrew Hopper, Peter Scott and Peter Walters. They all have an abundance of experience in their respective areas and professional, skilled teams to turn dream homes or investments into a reality.

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN ROCKABILLY singer Lanie Lane will play a “raw” solo set when she visits Geelong this September.

“I’m playing solo this time instead of with the band, so I’m going to strip everything back,” she told the Independent.

“I’m going to show people the songs as they were written - just me and my guitar.”

With a horse tattooed on her arm and a debut album titled To The Horses, Lane has a clear connection with the “gorgeous creatures”.

The album title was a nod to what she perceived as their spirituality and independence.

“Horses just have their own take on the world,” Lane contended.

“They’re free and beautiful. They’re just beautiful to relate to.”

Lane considered the touring life as her “version of normal” despite often being away from loved ones.

“You get used to being quite separated from friends and family but I find it difficult if I’m away from my boyfriend for more than a week.

“I’m lucky to have a very supportive family”.

Lane reminisced about her father and brother introducing her to playing music.

“I remember picking up a guitar at 11 or 12 and having a go at the chords.

“It was quite hard on my fingers and it hurt but I persevered because I got so much joy from it.”

Lane estimated she had spent “most of (her) life” writing songs, with lyrics flowing through her mind day and night.

“I once said ‘That’s what you get for falling in love with a cowboy’ in my sleep. I have no idea what I was dreaming about but it’s now one of my song titles.”

Lane will visit Geelong on her On My Own Track Tour at Beav’s Bar on September 20.

INGREDIENTS (MAKES SIX)

2. Use an electric beater to beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy.

Add the golden syrup and egg yolk and beat until combined. Stir in the flour, ginger, mixed spice and bicarbonate of soda. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Press dough into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.

3. Meanwhile, place egg white in a clean, dry bowl. Use an electric beater to beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add icing sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Divide icing among 3 bowls. Cover 1 bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge. Add red colouring to 1 bowl and stir until combined. Add green colouring to remaining bowl and stir until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge.

4. Place the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper and roll out until about 4mm thick. Use a 9cm gingerbread man cutter to cut out shapes. Place on trays about 3cm apart. Repeat with any excess dough.

5. Bake in oven for 10 minutes or until brown. Remove from oven. Transfer to a rack to cool.

6. Place prepared icings in small plastic bags. Cut a small hole in a corner of each bag.

Pipe icing over gingerbread men to decorate. Finish with Smarties.

Rear appeal: Part of Veloster’s visual appeal is the diving roof line and expansive hatch lid. it’s also easy to get in or out via the driver’s side door with the front seat electrically moving forward.

The rear seats have a 60/40 split and fold to create a good size luggage area of 440 litres.

Veloster has a solid feel about it from the moment you close the driver’s door.

Hyundai Veloster handles really well, flattening out corners with little body roll. The engineers have got the suspension sorted pretty well.

After years in the doldrums the coupe market is coming back into its own again.

The Hyundai Veloster will compete with the recently introduced Honda CR-Z hybrid sports coupe. The upcoming Toyota 86 and its twin the Subaru BRZ will be more expensive Hyundai but have the advantage of rear-wheel drive, making them full-on sports machines.

Potential Veloster buyers could also consider the cute little Fiat 500, which has recently had a significant price drop, even the lower cost versions of the Mini.

Long live the affordable coupe, it’s good to seem them back in action again.

BY ERIC BLAIR yundai Veloster, is a coupe that has the most stunning lines we have seen for many a year. The Hyundai guys want to be major players on the world scene, and not just in the mundane hatchback end of market.

Hence their attempt to leap to the attention of the public with what some may term outrageous styling.

Though the Veloster is aimed at the two-plus-two coupe market it uses an interesting door setup to give better than average access to the back seat. It has a rear door only on the left-hand side that’s carefully integrated to try and give the sporting Hyundai the look of a two-door coupe.

Apart from its looks there’s also a safety aspect to the single rear side door. The bane of owning a coupe has always been getting passengers in and out of the rear seats.

This simple solution overcomes this.

This gives the car its sporting lines.

The front is aggressive and distinctive and the rear end is also impressive.

There are currently two Veloster models, Veloster and Veloster + with a turbocharged version arriving next month.

The standard Veloster is conservative under the bonnet. The 1.6-litre petrol direct injection has peak power of 103 kW at 6300 rpm and 166 Nm of torque at 4850 rpm. It redlines at a sporting 6700 rpm. There are two transmissions, a six-speed manual (as tested) and a six-speed dual clutch gearbox (DCT) developed by Hyundai.

The Veloster + so we had leather sports seats with lumbar support, panoramic glass roof and what Hyundai calls its supervision instrument cluster.

This has blue back-lighting and the centre display has a blue/white matrix providing trip information.

Obviously access to the rear seats is easy via the kerbside second door, but

sport Big cats to be skinned Blessed be thy lakes for hot trout action TROUT anglers were blessed with great conditions over the past week, taking some outstanding captures from local lakes.

Lismore’s Lake Tooliorook was again the standout, with rainbows to 2.5kg caught on orange Powerbait.

Trolling with Rapala minnows and Eco Gear SX 40s produced a mix of both rainbows and quite a few of smaller brown trout, while redfin were also seen in reasonable numbers on vibe lures.

Live minnow were difficult to catch at the lake but a top bait on the reddies when available.

Tooliorook has been fishing so well the boys from Bendigo Legion Angling Club made the journey down, with the members landing a variety of species.

Just up the road, Deep Lake hosted fewer anglers but the results were still exceptionally good. Casting small, shallow-running bibbed lures from the shore returned a mix of both rainbow and brown trout to better than 2kg.

Lake Bullen Merri rewarded patient anglers with brown and rainbow trout on the troll, with the best captures after dark.

Tassie Devils were the productive lure.

Anyone confined to the shore at this lake should use either local gudgeon or Powerbait.

Wurdee Boluc Reservoir continued rising, making for inconsistent captures.

However, Paul Jennings used a Pegron tiger minnow lure to catch four redfin, the best a beauty of 2.2kg.

Noel Sharp also fished the reservoir to land a couple of redfin, although his magnificent 3.9kg brown trout really made the trip worthwhile.

With West Barwon Reservoir still discoloured, Paul Jeffries wasn’t expecting great results.

To his surprise his unweighted scrub

On the bite BRIAN LONG worm worked along the main wall produced three brown trout just under 1kg each.

Lake Bolac remained fantastic for quality rainbow trout, with female anglers taking some of the best captures. Tracie Mitchell outfished husband Brad as the pair landed seven fish over two days.

Surf angling was also rewarding, with some fantastic salmon action.

I had two sessions spinning on the rocks past Lorne last weekend where it was a fish a cast for long periods, with only a pod of dolphins slowing proceedings when its members joined the action.

Terry Miller fished the rocks at Wye River where he found plenty of salmon on high tide. Most were around 1kg and all but one was landed on lure.

The weekend’s expected offshore breezes and afternoon high tides should be ideal for the surf this weekend.

Try the rocks where the water is clean and avoid the beaches unless the water is crystal clear.

Snapper anglers found the going a lot slower in the past week but the action should improve over the weekend.

Patrick Palmer fished the shore at Point Lillias for one of the best results – three fish from 3kg to 4.2kg and all were caught on fresh pilchards.

Soft plastics anglers caught the odd snapper from Geelong’s waterfront with Turtleback worms and four-inch minnows in the natural colours. All the best captures were after dark.

Danny Shorten’s persisting with trolling for snapper in the outer-harbour paid off again with a nice snapper of 4.4kg. Danny caught his snapper on a Rapala Taildancer in the bright orange colour.

Large numbers of anglers continued chasing the whiting at St Leonards where bag-limit captures were difficult to achieve. Many moves were required to finish with a reasonable tally.

Drifting in 15m off St Leonards produced respectable flathead. Most averaged 35cm but a number of quality fish pushed 50cm.

Tuesday morning brought a large shoal of salmon to the spoil grounds off Pelican Shores.

The fish were extremely flighty, with small metal lures cast well away from the surface action catching fish pushing 2kg.

The incoming tides brought salmon and trevally up the Barwon River estuary. Soft plastics were best but anglers using vibe lures caught their fair share.

Squid were still difficult. Paul Knott tried his had casting jigs in and around the marina at Queenscliff, which turned out to be a great move when he landed his bag limit twice.

Lake Tooliorook should be the best option this weekend, while Lake Bullen Merri should also be worthwhile on trolled Tassie Devils in either pink or white colours. Saltwater anglers should try the snapper from Corio Bay’s inner-harbour on the late afternoon high tide.

Leading the way are Ryan McAuliffe, Peter Swinton and Jake Barlow and things are looking up for the side.

Local Footy FRANK MASON Modewarre is nearly a sure thing to play finals but has to win this one.

That kind of incentive should help it over the line by a few points.

Other selections: TORQUAY v Portarlington, OCEAN GROVE v Anglesea, Drysdale v QUEENSCLIFF, AMATEURS v Newcomb

GDFL Thomson and East Geelong meet this weekend in Geelong and District Football League’s match of the day at Godfrey Street Oval.

Thomson is travelling along nicely in second spot but would have been stung by how easily top placed Bell Post Hill beat it a few weeks ago.

Obviously there is still work to do and in this game against arch rival and fourth placed East Geelong is a starting point.

For East Geelong this game presents as a chance to press its claims as a genuine premiership threat and also as a chance to sneak up to third spot.

The two sides are evenly matched around the game and should play out a close and willing game, with Thomson just getting the points.

Other selections: Inverleigh v BELL POST HILL, BELMONT LIONS v Corio, NORTH GEELONG v Anakie, Winchelsea v BANNOCKBURN, WERRIBEE CENTRALS v Geelong West.

Over the rainbows: Darren Tuohey with a rainbow trout from Lake Tooliorook and Tracie Mitchell with another from Lake Bolac.

GEELONG Football Leagues ladder could change significantly this weekend depending on the results of two games.

At Colac the in-form Tigers could barge their way into the top five if they can beat the equally on fire Newtown at Central Reserve.

The Tigers have had a super month of startling victories, with Jake Carmody and Lachlan Veale standing out.

Newtown has taken all before it for over two months now and is firming as a real contender to South Barwon for flag favouritism.

Colac knows that victory here and a loss for Leopold in its game against Lara would see fifth spot open up.

This is a huge incentive but Newtown is in form and should win a close one. Out at Leopold the struggling Lions host Lara.

A loss for the Lions will put them out of the five because Lara will take their spot even if Colac loses.

Lara has what it takes to win this one to keep its season alive.

Other selections: WEST SAINTS v North Shore, SOUTH BARWON v Bell Park, ST ALBAN’S v Grovedale, ST JOSEPH’S v St Mary’s.
