Surge in tips on ice
Donor Rachel out for blood By NOEL MURPHY RACHEL Thomson is after her fellow students’ blood – and she’s prepared to fight for it. Well, maybe not fight, but she certainly has a competitive nature. The Kardinia International College VCE student is participating in an interhouse competition at school to determine which house can donate the most blood in a month. “In an attempt to help students – and teachers – who can’t make it down to a Blood Bank on their own we’re also taking a few small groups down to the Blood Bank during school hours,” Rachel told the Independent. “The competition also has a fundraising element, so that anyone who can’t donate blood but still wants to get involved can donate money instead and still have their contribution count towards their house’s total.” Monies raised will go to the Red Cross.

A 110 PER CENT spike in tipoffs has “significantly“ boosted police intelligence on drug operations in Geelong. Crime Stoppers community manager Peter Brown said the launch of a dob-in-a-dealer campaign in the region had led to a surge in calls. “Many of the calls are associated with amphetamines and this is seen as a major issue in Geelong,“ Mr Brown said. “Ice is a significant issue in regional Victoria and the response clearly demonstrates that.” Official figures put the number of methylamphetamine users in the state at 90,000, with an estimated 80,000 on ice. “Ice use leads to all sorts of psychological and physical issues, it leads to aggressive behaviour, to family violence, assaults and robberies. Every piece of intelligence we receive is a piece of the jigsaw puzzle and every piece helps with the overall picture,“ Mr Brown said. “The volume of calls about an issue may get action right away or it may be added to other information that will lead to an arrest but it is helping police quite significantly.” The dob-in-a-dealer campaign launched in Geelong on
17 April to gather confidential information from the community about the manufacture and distribution of crystal methylamphetamine and other illicit drugs. Crime Stoppers Victoria chief Samantha Hunter said the calls spike showed the Geelong community had taken a clear stand against drugs. “The response to the dobin-a-dealer program from local residents has been significant,” Ms Hunter said. “The increase in phone and online reports shows how concerned the Geelong community is about drug activity in the area. “Information from the community leads to real results when it comes to breaking the cycle of crime and the information gathered over the two weeks of the campaign has been passed on to the police for enquiry.“ Information about the manufacture or supply of drugs can be supplied confidentially to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at crimestoppersvic.com.au. Crime Stoppers also offers apps for iPhone or Android phones. The Victorian Government has a new Ice Help Line at 1800 ICE ADVICE (1800 423 238), which can direct users and families to treatment and support services.

Double Take
Winter is WOOL
ALARMING to read a tweet from someone called Bloviation this week protesting the depredations of the floating fish factory sadly named Geelong Star. “Massive o’seas commercial fishing trawler designed to rape our fish stocks is now killing our dolphins and seals,” it railed. Double Take knew of the killings but raping fish? Now that’s getting right out of control.

PENSIONER Ken Oakden is a bit put out - Alcoa rejected his bid to solve global warming at its Anglesea power plant. The job would have required a sale or two-year loan of the power station to Geelong West’s Mr Oakden so he could prove his ground-breaking theory works. “I can install equipment which will enable the chimney stack efflux to consist of only CO2, which local trees and grass will photosynthesise,” he claims. “The trees will retain the carbon and release the oxygen into the atmosphere.” If Alcoa won’t come at it, surely the Surf Coast Air Action mob will.

MEANWHILE, just up the road, the start of
Australia’s most iconic coastal drive is set to be crowned with discount groceries. German chain ALDI announced this week it had lodged a development application for Torquqay, nominating the site only as “Rudd Ave”. The Independent sought the actual address, which turned out to be 1 Rudd Ave, which backs onto 2-4 Geelong Rd. As such, Torquay’s new ALDI will front Torquay’s pub bottleshop on one side and overlook the start of the Geat Ocean Road on the other. No wonder ALDI wants residents to contact council “to express their support”. UNDER a barrage of questions at one of the longer of his weekly media conferences on Wednesday, Cats coach Chris Scott did what most of us have done. Answering a question about venues, he called Simonds Stadium by its previous moniker, Skilled. But he pulled himself up straight away. “Did I say Skilled? I’ll say Simonds five more times to make up for it.” K-Rock footy caller Tom King helped Scott out with the very next question. “What’s your home ground called again Chris?” “Simonds,” Scott replied with a rueful smile.

THE callous hit-run death of Corio cyclist Gordon Ibbs near Anakie has shocked Geelong. Police are desperately chasing a suspect whose car they say was found burned out at Winchelsea this week. A maroon VT Commodore struck Gordon Ibbs, 77, on Mother’s Day while he was returning home from a Sunday afternoon ride. Witnesses told police the car drove straight into him.
Mr Ibbs’ family issued a statement describing him as “a beautiful, kind, caring man”. “He did not deserve this. We have heard that witnesses stopped at the time of the accident and we wish to extend our deepest thanks to them for being with Gordon - it really means a lot to us to know he wasn’t alone.” Daughter Charlene Christensen told television’s A Current Affair that Mr Ibbs was her sick mother’s sole carer. Her mother now faced the prospect of entering a nursing
home, Ms Christensen said. Mr Ibbs’ death after almost 45 years’ marriage had left his wife “devastated”. Ms Christensen said the offending driver hit and killed not only a beautiful man but “shattered the lives of my family”. Geelong Cycling Club will support a 10km memorial ride for Mr Ibbs in the city on 24 May. Police urged anyone with information about the incident to contact CrimeStoppers.

Fish industry's fear of state bay netting bans By NOEL MURPHY GEELONG and Bellarine fishermen are facing extinction under State Government plans they say will deny consumers quality fish, boost the black market and pose a health threat as overseas stocks flood the market. Corio Bay fisherman yesterday lashed out, with the backing of Seafood Industry Victoria, at plans to cut all commercial net fishing, warning of wide job losses and accusing government of ignoring the industry's concerns. Portarlington fisherman Peter Jenkins said the commercial cull was “purely and solely a vote-grabbing exercise” that would kill off an historic and fully sustainable “squeaky clean” industry. “If we take our fish out of the equation you’ve got to fill it with something and that’s overseas crap,” Mr Jenkins said. “We have sustainable fisheries
here. I don’t know why they’d do this - it’s not as if fish stocks are in trouble, they couldn’t be healthier. "Recreational (angling) certainly won’t fill commercial demand (for fish) and the poor little old lady who wants a couple of fish fillets, whiting, snapper, they'll be taken away from the market. Seafood Industry Victoria executive director Johnathon Davey said recreational anglers took between 600 and 700 tonnes of snapper alone from Corio and Port Phillip bays each year, while commercial fishermen took 400 to 500 tonnes in total across a range of species. “The most surprising thing for us was that their (Labor's) proposal going to the election was to call for closure of unsustainable fishing...now they’re trying to get rid of us they don’t want to argue on a sustainable front but on an economic front,” he said. “They’re thinking recreational fishing will bring in more money but
forget that we provide a food security source - and a healthy, local source. “We want the consumer to know there are five million Victorians that are not rec fishermen and rely on licensed fishermen to provide licensed food sources - where will they get their fish and what sort of quality will it be?” The state budget allocated $5 million a year over four years to phase out commercial netters, who provide the vast majority of fresh fish to the market. Portarlington fisherman Danny Kent recently bought back into the industry, borrowing $300,000, to maintain a century-long family link to fishing. Mr Kent said he now faced financial ruin because State Government was trying to appease “probably 50 or 60 blokes screaming blue murder” about commercial fishing. “The black market will thrive, the government will miss out on taxes, it won’t alter in any shape or form the
amount of recreational take. “People won’t be able to get quality whiting, snapper, flounder, garfish, pike, definitely not rock flathead, long-nose flathead, leatherjackets, red mullet. “We’re just a plaything for politicians - they’re crucifying 42 fishermen here.” Another local fisherman, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of abuse and property damage, said the ban put a huge strain on his family. “My wife and I sold our house nine years ago to buy into the industry,” he said. “I've worked seven days a week for the last nine years to build the business into a profitable one that I could pass down to my two sons and ensure that they have a bright future. “I don’t think I have had a decent night sleep since the election and probably most other fishermen and their families haven’t either.”
In brief Murder arrest POLICE have arrested a 17-year-old over the alleged shooting murder of Sam Birchall, 19, at Norlane on Saturday. The teen appeared in court on Tuesday after police found him sleeping in a car at Corio Railway Station.
$90m plan A $90m urban renewal project will expand parkland in central Geelong and move the city’s controversial Moorabool St bus stops, City Hall has revealed. The Central Geelong Taskforce long-term plan would draw $4.6 million in funding a year from City Hall, requiring additional contributions from state and federal governments.
Emergency first AN Australian-first initiative has delivered 20 “expertly trained” managers to oversee volunteers working on emergency incidents in the Geelong region. Volunteering Victoria’s Sue Noble said the “managers of spontaneous emergency volunteers” would be invaluable in dealing with any disaster relief or recovery activities around the region.
Woman wanted A 29-YEAR-OLD woman “known to frequent Geelong” is wanted over theft and a court order breach. Victoria Police this week released an image of Jessi Savin, pictured, who was described as Caucasian in appearance, 175cm tall with dyed blonde hair and a solid build.

HOLISTIC EXPO
Solo protest gathers followers as ship kills continue By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN JASON O’Neill thought no one else cared when he staged what turned out to be a solo protest against the controversial trawler Geelong Star at Corio Quay a couple of weeks back. But the ship's continuing failure to avoid killing dolphins and seals during its initial fishing operations made him sufficiently angry to take his dissent to social media. “I put it up about 9pm at night and went to bed,” Mr O’Neill said. “The next morning I’d had about 1000 notifications and people were sharing it everywhere.”
The refusal to let apathy win has resulted in an organised protest from 12pm Sunday at Geelong’s waterfront carousel. A builder by trade, Mr O’Neill said he was unconnected to the fishing industry but “just wanted to have my say”. “I put a call out to anyone like-minded and it’s gathering a lot of momentum. That ship doesn’t represent us.” Mr O’Neill said he wanted Geelong Star to cease fishing operations altogether, citing doubts over the sustainability of its fishing quota - 16,500 tonnes in the small pelagic fishery stretching from Perth to Brisbane.
“There needs to be more science and studies undertaken to see what happens when these fish are taken out of their environment,” he said. “I don’t trust the figures the government has been coming up with. Those figures can be fudged. “Why trust the government when it comes to the environment? All politicians are about is votes - they want to dredge the Great Barrier Reef after all.” Mr O’Neill said the restrictions placed on Geelong Star were insufficient “for something as fragile as the ecosystem”. “I care about what legacy we leave our children. It just doesn’t sit well with that boat in port.”

THE ART of dying doesn’t immediately sound like a top-ofmind topic for a night out at the theatre. But with the experienced hand of legendary playwright and screenwriter Alan Hopgood at the helm, even dying can become an entertaining night. After all, as Hopgood observes: “It’s something we all have to face”. Hopgood is the man behind And the Big Men Fly and Alvin Purple and as an actor as Dr Reed in Bellbird, Wally in Prisoner and Jack Lassiter in Neighbours. But a “sudden right turn in the road” shed light on a whole new series of issues to attack with his pen. Writing about his joust with prostate cancer in 1996 turned into a play and video for the Cancer Council.

Hopgood has since become a health playwright, writing 10 plays about diabetes, widows, palliative care, geriatric sex, depression, dementia and incident disclosure in hospitals. He has been a popular speaker on men’s health issues and positive ageing since the success of his The Carer, which toured Australia with the late Charles ‘Bud’ Tingwell. “It brings art and health together,” Hopgood told the Independent. “It’s using theatre to present health issues all based on real-life stories. “Through it all there’s an element of positivity and with that comes an element of humour. I like to find the humour in all my plays.” Hopgood’s theatre evenings begin with a play running around 40 minutes followed by an open-
STRETCH
floor discussion with expert guidance. “It proves to be quite an entertaining night. People feel safe and relaxed to ask questions and often the forum is just as interesting as the play,” Hopgood observed. “The key is to get people to start talking about what we would normally consider taboo topics and in that comedy is a great help. It takes the sting out of it.” Hopgood said the right-turn in his life after the bout with cancer had enabled him to touch many people in the community he might not otherwise have reached. His Four Funerals in One Day will be staged from 7pm on 26 May at Sacred Heart College performing arts centre as part of National Palliative Care Week. Tickets cost $20 at eventbrite. com.au.

Century of tradition inspires walk for charity By NOEL MURPHY GREG Lewis’ family has served with the armed forces for the last century or so and he’s keen to follow tradition. An avid glider, aviation buff and air cadet, Greg has his sights set squarely on an airborne future although for the time being, at age 16, he’s working through the schooling necessities. But his heart’s in the right spot and, with an ear tuned to history and the physical and mental fallout of armed conflict, he’s stepping out next month to raise money for a good cause. Greg’s planning a 100km footslog from Point Nepean on the Mornington Peninsula to Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance to raise money for charity Soldier On. “I know that many good men in the course of duty are impacted by the environment in which they serve,” Greg said. “My own great grandfather was affected by his experiences during the Second World War, he had no access to help on his return to Australia. “My own small contribution simply says, ‘I want to help make a difference’.” A student at St Ignatius College, Greg lives at Highton. He decided on the 100km trek as part of the Anzac centenary and a neat way to help the country’s wounded warriors. Greg said anyone wanting to help his fundraising efforts should visit soldieron.giveeasy.org/ campaigns/1kilometre/forevery-year/

Shire set to feel loss of Alcoa work By NOEL MURPHY
LONG WALK: Highton air cadet Greg Lewis is preparing to step out for war veterans’ welfare. 139023 Picture: REG RYAN
THE impending closure of Alcoa’s Anglesea power plant and loss of 85 jobs is set to rock Surf Coast Shire’s economy. The coal mine and power station make “a substantial contribution” to the shire economy, according to council, which will suffer without alternative operations taking its place. This week’s announcement of an August closure surprised staff and locals but thrilled anti-coal activists who have run a lengthy and controversial campaign demanding the plant’s shutdown. The power plant’s demise follows last year’s closure of Alcoa’s Point Henry smelter at Geelong with the loss of 800 jobs - and an unsuccessful attempt to sell the facility. Alcoa has stumped up $5 million for a Geelong Region Innovation and Investment Fund to help job creation projects in the wake of its withdrawal from the region. The company has also provided $4 million to ongoing skills and training programs for staff. Alcoa has also for decades been one of the region’s strongest charitable sponsors. Give Where You Live chief Bill Mithen said last year’s exit from Geelong meant an immediate $250,000 loss, rising to $500,000 in
contributions at a time when community demand for help had doubled on the previous year. Alcoa Australia boss Alan Cransberg said the company would explore “how best to assist our Anglesea community partners”. Surf Coast Shire had lobbied for the Anglesea plant’s closure despite its economic importance, citing similar concerns to Surf Coast Air Action group about sulphur dioxide and particulates impacting public health. A recent Harvard study put the annual health cost of the Anglesea plant at $170 million, which Alcoa said was based on many variables and assumptions and speculative at best. Industry Minister Lily D’Ambrosia said State Government would “ ensure all assistance” was “provided during this difficult time” and instigate discussions with Alcoa about rehabilitating the site. Surf Coast Air Action said the closure showed “coal-impacted communities can achieve big things when they work together”. “While we are delighted that the redundant facility will finally close we are also very mindful about the remaining workers and call upon Alcoa to make sure that those who don’t wish to take a redundancy package are deployed onto the massive rehabilitation task,” spokesman Andrew Laird said.

RESIDENTIAL ratepayers face a 4.5 per cent rate increase as well as increases across the board for community services in City of Greater Geelong’s 2015/2016 budget. The budget increased almost all user charges, including a 10 cent rise in street parking fees to $2.60 an hour. Council car park annual fees at Haymarket, Busport and Civic Centre also went up between $32.50 and $45.60, with the top annual fee now costing $2189. Fees for waste disposal at Drysdale and North Geelong transfer
stations increased between 50 cents and $1.50, with pet registration fees also up. The City’s weekly rates for child care will increase six per cent, while Meals on Wheels charges will rise 30 cents. The budget predicted future rate increases would be at CPI plus one per cent, although State Government has promised to cap council rates next year. “Depending on the level at which rates are capped council will need to undertake a review of services provided to the community with the aim of reducing the level of rate payer subsidy for services undertaken by local
government on behalf of state and federal government,” the budget noted. Mayor Darryn Lyons said the budget invested heavily in the financing of new infrastructure. “This is a balanced budget that delivers on major priorities while maintaining service levels in all key areas of council’s operations.” Cr Lyons said council had focused strongly on stimulating economic growth. “It’s about jobs, jobs, jobs. And there’s an emphasis on making central Geelong vibrant again.”

Corio in NBN ‘discrimination’
By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN
STUDENTS in Corio face discrimination under the National Broadband Network (NBN) rollout, federal MP Richard Marles claimed in parliament this week. Mr Marles said Corio was the forgotten area in the rollout. He slammed the “fraudband” rollout as slower than initially scheduled by the previous Labor government.
“It seems that the children on the outskirts of Geelong have been completely forgotten by the Abbott Government,” he said. “Geelong students are operating on an internet speed that’s two steps up from the old telephone network. “Not only is the NBN not happening for Geelong now but this does not even seem to be an issue big enough to warrant any imme-
diate future government planning. “Geelong is not listed in the government’s 18-month rollout plan. If there’s a queue for the government’s NBN, Geelong is not in it.” Mr Marles said NBN had started work on the fibre network in Geelong under the former Labor government. “Work was scheduled to deliver fibre to about 44,000 schools,
homes and businesses in Geelong and surrounds,” he said. “This work was scheduled to be completed by late 2015. But the coalition cancelled this rollout. “Despite promising to honour all contracts prior to the election, Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull have cancelled the fibre rollout to Geelong.” Mr Marles said students at Geelong Baptist College and a
Cool call ‘saved Hunter’s mum’
“IT students at Geelong Baptist College are being seriously disadvantaged because internet programs often drop out and students have to wait five to 10 minutes for their page to connect again.” Mr Marles said the Government promised to address underserviced areas first but that was “certainly not happening on the outskirts of Geelong”.
new grade five campus at Kardinia International College in Lovely Banks were missing out on vital internet-based education. He said Geelong Baptist College principal Neil Wetmore had described the situation as “exclusive, limiting and unfair”. Teachers often had to change lesson plans because of slow and unreliable internet connections, Mr Marles said.
QUICK THINKING: Bravery award winner Hunter Petrass and mum Donna Haby. Picture: ANDREW LUCAS
Federal business boosts ‘help city’ By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN
YOUNG Hunter Petrass is a Junior Triple Zero hero after demonstrating maturity and calmness as his mother suffered a medical emergency. The Whittington 12-year-old received an Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA) award for his call to Triple Zero (000) when Donna Haby experienced breathing difficulties. Hunter called 000 and was able to provide the operator with his mum’s medical history and symptoms. Hunter received his Junior Triple Zero Hero award on Wednesday from Minister for Emergency Services Jane Garrett and awards guest presenter, comedian Dave Hughes. Junior Triple Zero Hero awards were handed out to another 26 children at the ceremony, now in its 11th year. “More than 1.7 million emergency calls are made to ESTA via the Triple Zero service every year but these young heroes have stood out for their bravery in situations that could send even the calmest of adults into a panic,” Ms Garrett said. ESTA chief Ken Shymanski said the Junior Triple Zero Hero awards recognised and rewarded the youngsters’ initiative and clear thinking. “The emergencies that resulted in today’s awards show that teaching children when and how to call Triple Zero really does save lives. “It is important that children know the number to call and learn their home address. Location is the first, most critical element in responding to any Triple Zero call.”
GEELONG lobby groups have welcomed support for small businesses and retrenched workers in a federal budget with little other specific impact on the region. Committee for Geelong acting chief Rosemary White said the tax cut and asset write-offs for small businesses were positive steps. “We’re supportive of the need to nurture and support start-ups. Our region is developing an incredible entrepreneurial community,” Ms White said. “New initiatives tackle the concerning rise in unemployment, especially youth, and those workers displaced following downsizing of manufacturing industry in areas like Geelong. “The committee welcomes secure funding for the Geelong Employment Facilitator initiative for the next two years and the new Partners of Retrenched Workers initiative - Returning to Work project, which Karingal will deliver.“ Geelong Chamber of Commerce head Bernadette Uzelac said small business incentives would lead to jobs growth and a stronger city. Ms Uzelac said the measures would leave many Geelong small business owners feeling that the Government had finally acknowledged the important contribution they made to the economy. Federal Member for Corangamite Sarah Henderson said $7.25 million for a Norlane Community Centre would deliver affordable housing units, a new aged care facility, an allied health and general practice, a gym and retail space.

State MP attacks plan to limit rate rises
Cap ‘to hurt residents’ By NOEL MURPHY CAPPING council rates will backfire on residents, especially in growth areas such as Armstrong Creek, Torquay and Barwon Heads, South Barwon MP Andrew Katos has warned. Lashing out at State Government plans to cap council rates next year, he said the “populist stuff trying to win votes� would be compounded by $39 million in funding cuts to councils this year. “This isn’t a freeze in funding, it’s
a cut, and capping rates will mean more cuts – to infrastructure and services – when councils can’t finance them,� Mr Katos told the Independent. “This year’s state budget has no dollars whatsoever for Armstrong Creek and no dollars for Torquay, there’s no infrastructure spending there. The only infrastructure spend at Armstrong Creek is land and funding for two schools that we financed in the previous government.� City Hall borrowing will blow out from $36 million to $81 million in its
budget announced this week but rate capping will restrict its ability to repay debt while pressuring its spending on services and capital works. Mr Katos said the former Kennett government’s rate-capping had proven the idea was unsuccessful. “It’s very easy to say cap rates but rate-capping was tried in the ’90s and it didn’t work. “A local government authority might, say, have an EBA for staff in place that might be on three per cent but if rates only go up 2.5 per cent

INVESTIGATING the sources of rubbish in local waterways could help clean up Corio Bay, according to the authorities behind a new environmental program. City of Greater Geelong has joined forces with local catchment management bodies to implement the Caring For Our Bays program. Work began with volunteers recently collecting rubbish at Corio’s Cuthbertson’s Creek. Program manager Matt Crawley said the creek results would help set a template for expanding the program to other waterways in the city and “known litter hotspots� on the Bellarine Peninsula foreshore. The Cuthbertson’s Creek work involved testing water quality and counting and surveying litter, he said. Geelong councillor Kylie Fisher hoped to “educate and encourage� schools and businesses on looking after nearby waterways as part of the program. “We want to engage local communities and give them some ownership of looking after and protecting their local areas,� she said.

then obviously you either need to cut a service or not build or maintain infrastructure.� Mr Katos said the upshot would be seen in frustrated residents at growth sites such as Armstrong Creek lacking in sports, community and other facilities. He said the need for Barwon Heads Road to be duplicated was already obvious but warned voters would “see through it� if the State Government kept holding back on spending until the next election.

Barry and Glenys, Belmont BUCKETS to the former Geelong cement works. What and how long will it take before the property on McCurdy’s Rd is changed? It is dangerous and a huge eyesore. It could be used for public housing. James, Geelong BUCKETS to a trader in Ocean Grove’s main street for ignoring my wife when she was the only customer in his shop last Friday. Luckily, another outlet was available elsewhere. If you’re too stupid to offer decent customer service and manners your business will wither and die, as it deserves. Moz, Ocean Grove

“Based on initial research, we can see there is a strong appetite for an ALDI store amongst Torquay shoppers.� The spokesperson said the Torquay store would create 15 to 20 jobs The company hoped to open the store in 2017 if it won planning approval.

Whopper tank ‘tests viability’ By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN VIVA Energy’s has announced a first investment in its newlyacquired Geelong refinery, with a large crude oil tank on the drawing board. Refinery general manager Thys Heyns said the tank would increase the refinery’s crude storage by 43 per cent. “Viva Energy is exploring the opportunity to build a new crude storage tank at its Geelong refinery,” Mr Heyns said. “This is an important demonstration of Viva Energy’s ongoing intention to invest in the refinery and proving the viability of this proposal will be a key focus during the coming months. “If it progresses, the project would play an important role in
building a sustainable business. “Additional storage could help reduce shipping costs and enhance production capacity by improving feedstock flexibility. “Construction of a new tank would generate construction jobs and help support the long-term viability of the refinery. “Achieving this in a costeffective and timely way would require the support of our politicians, unions, workforce and local community. “Development of a new tank would be subject to both planning approval and final board approval. As per normal planning processes, community consultation would be undertaken.” Mr Heyns said the extra storage would allow ships to be un-
loaded faster, reducing waiting times. “It also allows blends of feedstock to be added to the refining process more easily.” Mr Heyns also called for a slightly deeper channel to the refinery pier, saying another 10cm of draught would save Viva up to $2 million a year. “The draught of the Geelong channel is limited to 11.7m whereas the Melbourne channel is 14.5m. If we can get just 10cm additional draught out of the Geelong channel that is worth between $1 million and $2 million a year for us. “Of course, if we could go to 14.5m like the Melbourne channel that would be a significant value to us.”

Blame authorities, not kids, for mall issues
POLICING: Inspector Graham Banks. services that should ensure a safe and secure environment. These services have been inadequately provided, as evidenced by the mall situation and the horror stories of burglaries and break-ins all over the Geelong region, simply be-
Garden idea stupid $90 MILLION to make a gigantic garden in our CBD? First the stupid $1 million tree and now this? Are we trying to destroy what little life is left in our city? Just because our mayor can afford to travel to New York and likes Central Park does not mean Geelong also needs one. We are too small and too in debt to seriously compete with a city as big as New York, let alone any other major capital cities. It disgusts me that $90 million is apparently available but being wasted on stupid vanity projects attempting to distract us from the dire trouble facing Geelong. That money should be spent on three things Geelong desperately needs: more alcohol and drug treatment facilities, particularly ice detox units; more mental health facilities; and more unemployment services. If Mayor Darryn Lyons truly wants to help Geelong he will seriously consider my suggestions. If this goes ahead Geelong will be officially dead. If all we are going to be known for is a floating silver cylinder and a huge garden then don’t be shocked when we officially become a ghost town. Suzanne Bridson Herne Hill
Leftovers for needy I WAS appalled recently to hear that some organisations are throwing out food that could be given to the needy in Geelong and to see much waste of food when eating out. Many people going hungry and living in poverty – can’t the community help them more by giving them leftover food instead of throwing it out? M Forster Bell Park
Welfare for well-off NATIONAL party MPs are right to take Treasurer Joe Hockey to task over his revamp of child care payments. Once again single income families will subsidise the child-minding arrangements of well-off twoincome families. This is neither fair nor just and doesn’t make sense in a retracting economy. Surely giving two-income families generous payments is middle-class welfare. Women who choose to give their own children their full-time care will be penalised. Senator Matthew Canavan's proposal for income tax splitting is sensible, allowing single-income households the same tax treatment as two-income families with a tax-free threshold of $36,000. It is ironic that in the 1980s Australia signed a UN Rights of the Child convention that stated children should not be separated from mothers “save in exceptional circumstances”, considered a form of child abuse. Yet here we are 25-odd years later paying mothers to be separated from their own children. And why the push to keep married women with young children working? Are jobs growing on trees? Women have been taking two out of three new jobs for some time now. Since tariffs have come down over the past three decades Australia has lost over 400,000 jobs in manufacturing, mostly male jobs. If any gender deserves special consideration in finding jobs and remaining employed it certainly isn’t women. Why have women suddenly become the new favoured elite? Alan Barron Grovedale
Drifting northward IN DAYS of yore Australia, with India, Africa and South America, was part of Antarctica, which was about 75 degrees south of where it is today. This vast southern continent was called Gondwana. There were no ice caps at the poles when our rediscovered Wollemi pines were thriving in the cool summers and long, dark polar winters of what is now New South Wales.
cause adequate resources are not allocated. This being the case, the three entities listed above bear full commercial liability for these adverse events. If the mall is a trouble spot then it needs, and always has done as an identifiable problem area, a constant police presence. Council, police and State Government should not be surprised if some or all of the victims take action for compensation given that the former have abrogated their contractual duty to provide peace and order and safety, both in the CBD and the region generally. Gary Oraniuk Geelong West
Since then continental drift has seen these land masses separate and begin moving northward, so no wonder Melbourne is beginning to experience socalled Sydney weather. Continental drift, taken to its ultimate limits, means that the continents will one day bump back together in the northern hemisphere. Then land travel will replace aircraft, greatly reducing the carbon output. It would even be possible to tour the whole world on pollution-free bicycles. But then the alarmists will make dire predictions about the planet being top-heavy and in peril of flipping, causing Europe to be down under. But that’s when the continents will start drifting north again as nature continues to keep the world well-balanced. Melva Stott Anglesea
Acid put on claims DR RAY Black invited sceptics to discuss ocean acidification (Letters, 1 May). I was concerned about it too until I read about testimony to the US Congress in 2010, which included a graph showing a strong correlation between rising atmospheric CO2 and falling seawater pH between 1988 and 2010. Oceanographer Mike Wallace was puzzled by the start date because he knew ocean pH measurements were available long before then, so he restored 78 years of data omitted from the graph. Some aspects of his graph were striking. The pH high point of the century was 1988 at nearly 8.2 before it began to fall – just the point to start a pH downtrend graph – and the 2000 low point of 7.9 was exceeded by a 1920s pH plunge. There appears to be no correlation between atmospheric CO2 and sea pH levels through most of the century, during which the pH trend rose, not fell. In short, 20th Century ocean acidification declined. Google ‘NOAAgate’ for the story and graphs. A side issue but important for assessing anthropogenic-versus-natural causation is that one commentator likened the pH pattern during the 20th Century to warming trends in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Whether this is so or not, the PDO and cloud variability are a feature of former NASA climatologist Roy Spencer's work in researching natural causes for warming and cooling trends. He has found that the PDO shows better correlation than CO2 for such trends during much of the last century. Tim Saclier Leopold
Slide into conspiracy theory MICHAEL Spencer (Letters, 1 May) sent me his slideshow DVD. Without doubt it had a huge amount of information but only one theme: conspiracy. His slides screamed fraud, hoax and hidden green agendas to impose world government. Even the presented science-based sites accused or implied some level of conspiracy or scientific fraud. The material did not include any genuinely sceptical site that stuck to the science only. But if that wasn’t enough, the DVD said that without modern conveniences powered by electricity we would be forced to drink dirty water and use firewood and dung for cooking in a squalid life of poverty for all. But there was good news: not only is CO2 not a greenhouse gas but we should double our CO2 output to green the planet, solve food problems and increase the numbers of polar bears, seals and whales – we'll all prosper! In my previous 24 April letter I did not condemn Alan Barron for his comments, as Mr Spencer said. He can say what he likes so long as I can also point to where he gets his information and what he says cannot be taken at face value. It seems Mr Spencer's DVD is a major resource for Mr Barron.

REGARDING recent stories on Geelong Police Inspector Graham Banks, it seems the problems with the mall need not have happened if the place was properly policed in the first place. The kids that congregate in the mall have every right to be there but no serious effort was made to address problems as they developed. For a time council supplied security in the mall but, probably as a commercial decision, it was discontinued. Being public property, the mall problem is the responsibility of council, police and State Government, all of which are contracted, by ratepayers and taxpayers, to provide the

PROFILES: Osamah Sami and Ray Chong Nee in a scene from I Call my Brothers.
A CAR explodes in a central city area that could easily be Melbourne. Terms like “suicide bomber” and “terrorist” flash by on the news and burst into people’s consciousness. It's now part of the reality facing society, especially in the light of recent terror-related arrests in ordinary Melbourne suburbs. How the public reacts is the theme behind powerful play I Call My Bothers, by Melbourne Theatre Company (MTC) and coming to Geelong Performing Arts Centre on Monday night. The story centres on Amor, a young Arab man caught up in the
confusion and paranoia following the car explosion. Director Nadja Kostich said the play was about perception, fear and suspicion in the wake of an event cast as a terrorist act. “This young man looks a certain way and fits a description of the racial profile of a terrorist. “He carries out some simple, everyday tasks over a period of 24 hours throughout the city, one that mean he ventures past the point of the explosion. “This takes him into a place that involves a self-reckoning and an inner-journey that places him under considerable pressure.
“The young man examines himself and his relationships and from this point, he reaches outward. He reaches out to his friend, Shavi, his ‘brother’, and he responds.” Kostich said I Call My Brothers asked the audience to "confront its impulses to divide the world up into ‘us’ and ‘them’". “Who are they? Who are we? “And is our fear a self-fulfilling prophecy?” The play is part of MTC’s 2015 education productions, having been on a two-week regional school tour as part of the company’s Sharing the Light initiative.

Manfreds men CAZBAR Sat 16th May Glam City Doors open 9pm free before 10pm $10 entry DO WAH: Top Brit pop exponents, The Manfreds. In 1966 Manfred Mann notched up a second British number one with the gorgeous, melodic Pretty Flamingo, proving to be crowning glory for the band’s first incarnation. The seamless flow of hits continued despite a change of lead singer from Paul Jones to thenunknown Mike D’Abo, with the band going on to release SemiDetached Suburban Mr James and Ha! Ha! Said the Clown, My Name Is Jack, Fox on the Run and Ragamuffin Man. As the ’60s drew to a close Manfred Mann disbanded, with members soon finding new careers as solo performers, in other
bands and in composing and production. Already an accomplished songwriter, Mike D’Abo had his most notable hit, Build Me Up Buttercup, for The Foundations. Former Manfred Mann members Paul Jones, Mike D’Abo, Mike Hugg and Tom McGuinness reformed as The Manfreds in 1991, enlisting the talents of Marcus Cliffe, Simon Currie and Rob Townsend. Their live gigs burst with their trademark quirky mix of solid gold pop, jazz and rhythm and blues. The Manfreds play GPAC on 9 July.

ANYONE who still has the tunes of the Brit pop explosion of the 1960s humming around in their head has a must-not-miss diary entry to make. The Manfreds, rebirth of the first incarnation of Manfred Mann, will bring their sublime and melodic hits of the period to Geelong. Between 1964 and 1969 Manfred Mann scored three British number-one hits, another charttopper in America, seven topfives and four more songs in the top 20. The group featured two of the finest singers on the British pop and rock scene in Paul Jones and Mike d’Abo, who both went on to enjoy successful and varied solo careers. Their distinctive voices, which added to the rich variety of Manfred Mann’s classic hits, will be reprised when The Manfreds hit Geelong Performing Arts Centre (GPAC) in July. They will be joined by two other members of the 1963 lineup, bassist Tom McGuiness and drummer Mike Hugg. The bandmates found themselves in the vanguard of the British pop invasion of America alongside the Beatles and the Animals and ahead of the Rolling Stones. Their first number one was Do Wah Diddy Diddy, followed by interpretations of Bob Dylan classics Just like a Woman, If You Gotta Go Go Now and Mighty Quinn.

Health key for Latrobe centre

WITH more and more Australians living longer and seeking to be as active as possible in later life, spinal health has become increasingly important. However, back pain is proving to be a significant restriction for more people and is a common ailment for Geelong residents, with one in 11 suffering complaints this year. Instead of enjoying retirement, back pain can force people into an early retirement. Latrobe Health Centre’s chiropractic services can offer an effective means of reducing back pain and correcting posture. Chiropractic is an effective
way to manage different types of back pain and to improve postural fitness, such as not sitting for too long, sitting correctly and using proper lifting or bending techniques. Latrobe Health Centre has been providing quality health care services to people in the Geelong region for more than 10 years. The multi-disciplinary health centre offers chiropractic, dietetics and myotherapy, podiatry and exercise physiology services aimed at helping patients reach their health goals. The highly skilled team uses a unique approach that aims to help patients in the quickest time.
Latrobe Health Centre focuses on providing natural health choices for adults, children and babies throughout the Geelong region. Latrobe Health Centre’s approach to health is simple: a person who moves well, eats a healthy diet and engages in constructive thinking will experience abundant health. Latrobe Health Centre aims to create an atmosphere of trust through a confident, friendly approach, giving time to listen, advise and treat. Latrobe Health Centre is at 291 LaTrobe Tce, Geelong, phone 5222 6868.

Why not adjust the cause instead of treating the effects? Why not? DD. Palmer founder of Chiropractic. Subluxation,or interference to the nervous system is caused by emotional, physical and chemical stress.
Kids As the twig is bent, so grows the tree. Your child will develop more in the first two years of their life than at any other time. Giving them the best chance of living a healthy, active and vibrant life is the most wonderful thing you can do for them. As your child grows and develops, they too will experience subluxations from daily emotional, physical and chemical stress. Regular chiropractic checkups may be able to identify these problems and help avoid some of the health complaints later seen in adults. But my child is already healthy. Why would he/she need to see a chiropractor? We modify our techniques to suit children, infants and newborns.
Pregnancy Pregnancy has a significant effect on your spine posture and mobility. Your musculoskeletal system is continually adapting to accommodate your growing baby. Apart from being uncomfortable, your spine and therefore your nervous system will be susceptible to interference and dysfunction. - Research shows that 75% of women experience relief from discomfort from chiropractic care during pregnancy. Research also shows that chiropractic adjustments may also assist with optimal foetal positioning. Ask us about Webster’s Technique.

THE SPINE is a pretty important part of the human body, which is why its gets its own week. Spinal Health Week runs from 25 to 31 May and its theme this year is “get your happy back”. Chiropractor and director of East Geelong Chiropractic, Kaaren Colwell, says a happy back makes all the difference in dayto-day life. “Every day more and more Australians experience disabling low back pain, neck pain and headaches, limiting their ability to work and engage in an active healthy life,” Kaaren says. One explanation for this is the negative impact an increasingly sedentary lifestyle has on postural fitness. “Think about all the hours you spend each day sitting at work or school, commuting, on your computer or other mobile device and watching television," Kaaren says. “Poor posture increases pressure on your spine, which can cause lower back pain, neck pain, headaches and fatigue.” Chiropractic care is an increasingly common and effective treatment for back pain, neck pain and headaches eliminating the need for drugs or surgery. “Helping patients make positive changes with respect to nutrition, exercise and wellness is also fundamental to maintaining normal spinal function,” Kaaren points out. “Adopting healthy habits today, such as improving postural fitness, can significantly reduce the risk of injury or pain in later

Baptist college offering quality local education
A new STEM program partnership is heping expand the horizons of students at Matthew Flinders Girls Secondary College.
Girls encouraged ALL STUDENTS at Matthew Flinders Girls Secondary College are encouraged to think deeply by being open-minded, curious, strategic, sceptical and through seeking truth and understanding. This key focus of their learning experience is supported by a number of programs accessed through tertiary and corporate partnerships. The school recently joined a Successful Students – STEM program, part of a Skilling the Bay initiative, in partnership with Deakin University. As a forward-looking learning community, Matthew Flinders wants to continue encouraging its girls to consider digital,
scientific and mathematical pathway options. The exciting program will complement the college’s existing curriculum to help students develop skills relevant to the jobs of the future. The program aims to strengthen their engagement with the school’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects. The college is continuing to build its digital technology curriculum, recently confirming a partnership with Intel. The partnership offers the use of Intel’s Galileo Gen 2 development board, giving students access to state-of-the-art technology.
The digital technology curriculum teaches students to be creators with technology rather than just consumers. Matthew Flinders students will share their digital expertise and skills during the college’s first Maker-Faire, offering workshops for around 100 primary students that will encourage them to create, craft, build and play. Centrally located in Lt Ryrie St, Geelong, the college is easily accessed by bus or train. More information and enrolment enquiries are available by phoning 4243 0500 or visiting mfgsc.vic.edu.au.

Christian College fosters student with care and concern for the world around them.
Growth focus CHRISTIAN College believes that an education worth having is one that educates beyond just academic or benchmark scores. It must also grow the capacity for students to learn, think, create and discover ways to make the world a better place. To do this, students need to understand their place and role in the world as part of humankind, with a desire to love and care for others. Christian College offers an education worth having, cultivating an atmosphere of care and concern for each student’s character growth and well-being within a value system and set of priorities
derived from the Christian faith. Honesty, integrity, compassion, respect and tolerance underpin the expectations of all interaction within the college program. Christian College Geelong’s aim is to provide for each student’s academic, physical, emotional and spiritual growth and needs within one of the college’s four campuses throughout the Geelong region, from pre-kinder to year 12. Solid foundations in literacy and numeracy are laid at the junior schools through the college’s earlyyears structure. This leads on to the engaging and innovative middle
schools program in which students study core subjects of English, mathematics, science, humanities, Christian education, physical education, health, information communication technology, music, sport, Japanese and Indonesian. In addition, students are offered a wide range of elective studies to develop new skills and interests before making choices for their future tertiary studies and careers. Christian College is proud to offer a balanced range of opportunities across all campuses, including VCE, VCE VET and VCAL at its senior school.

That means following the manufacturer’s recommendations for performing maintenance on your vehicle, based on its make, model, year and mileage. “Each vehicle is different, so we also perform our own routine checks and test for possible signs of wear and tear. “This helps us to prevent future problems that may be likely to occur or that your particular model may be prone to.” Hardy Automotive offers loan cars free of charge for clients.

MOTORCYCLE Service Centre is a family-ownedand-operated business at Moolap less than five minutes from central Geelong. Rob Jenner, a fully-qualified mechanic for 30 years, has extensive knowledge and practical experience across all makes and models from Japan, Europe, Britain and the USA. “I’ve owned and ridden everything from Hondas to Harleys and we’ve raced Ducatis, Yamahas, Aprilias – I’ve even turned an MV Agusta upside-down a few times!” The business’s core focus is log-book servicing and preventative maintenance. “Looking after your bike via regular and diligent servicing is critical,” Rob explains. “Way too many times we see expensive problems caused by a lack of maintenance and quite often we see people replacing expensive parts themselves trying to fault-find a problem that can be a simple adjustment, which we’d catch and repair during a service. “We keep a wide range of service parts and lubes in stock for the home-mechanic, too.” Motorcycle Service Centre is well-known for its personalised service and customer satisfaction. “I like to discuss directly with the customer exactly what they want, especially on bigger jobs like serious repairs or high-performance modifications,” Rob said. “There’s no confusion with a one-on-one discussion.” With many years as a VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Tester, Rob is among the region’s most experienced and respected roadworthy inspectors. “I like to think I’m reasonably fair as far as roadworthy inspections go but not a pushover,” he grins. For all motorcycle needs including roadworthies, log-book servicing and general service and repair for all makes and models, Motorcycle Service Centre provides professional and personalised service. Conveniently located and with private, secure parking at 336 Portarlington Rd, Moolap, Motorcycle Service Centre’s business hours are 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and Saturday by prior appointment by phoning 0488 247 077.

03 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO MUSCULAR: Subaru Liberty has the looks and feel of a much more expensive car.
Give us Liberty By ALISTAIR KENNEDY THE imminent departure of Australia’s previous market-leading Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore family cars is opening up opportunities for a variety of mid-sized sedans that have previously sat in their sales shadow. One of the best-known of these contenders is the Subaru Liberty which has been on sale here continuously since 1989. The latest, sixth generation, model was released late in 2014 with some styling changes, engine tweaks and extra equipment. But the biggest news is some serious pricecutting that has seen Subaru Liberty drop below the $30,000-mark for the first time in more than 15 years. That $29,990 model is the entry-level 2.5i – down $3000 against the outgoing equivalent gen five Liberty. There are even bigger savings in the other two variants with the price of the 2.5i Premium cut by $4000 to $35,490; and the 3.6R now selling for $41,990. That’s a whopping $14,000 down on the previous model. Additionally, all variants also come with extra features that increase the value equation. Commenting on these dramatic price cuts Subaru Australia Managing Director, Nick Senior, explained that a number of factors had prompted the shift: “Most notably the exchange rate, the Japanese free trade agreement and more efficient manufacturing, driving reduced costs.” The new Liberty range has been cut back to just three models compared to the ten of the previous model. The Liberty wagon, including the Exiga sevenseater, has now been deleted – no real surprise as most wagon buyers had already switched to either the Outback or Forester. Also gone are the Liberty GT and X models. While earlier Libertys have tended to be a bit on the bland side, the more recent models have a classy look and can hold their own with the best of their competitors. Styling changes for the gen-six model are minor, with a new more subtle front grille and raised rear

quarter panels which provide a more muscular look. Attractive 18-inch alloys are now standard on all variants. Those moving out of larger cars will be impressed with the Liberty’s interior space which has increased marginally in all directions. It also feels larger with the A-pillar now further forward, a new front quarter window and lowered dashboard. The rear seats have been raised by 10 mm to improve passenger visibility and there’s excellent rear leg and headroom. The 493-litre boot is well-shaped although the access space is relatively small. The spare wheel is full sized. In addition to the standard range of safety features, all Liberty models now come with Subaru’s EyeSight driver assist system that provides adaptive cruise control; lane departure warning; lead vehicle start alert (a clever feature in stop/start traffic that alerts a dozy driver when the vehicle in front has moved off); pre-collision braking and brake assist system; and pre-collision throttle management. As with almost all Subaru models the Liberty comes with all-wheel drive, hill hold and reversing camera. New Liberty has a five-star ANCAP rating with its points tally of 35.99 (out of a maximum possible 37) being the highest ever by any Subaru. Two petrol engines are offered, a 2.5-litre fourcylinder and a 3.6-litre flat six. In the Subaru tradition they are both horizontally-opposed, or Boxer, units with the four generating peaks of 129 kW and 235 Nm (at 4000 rpm) and the six getting to 191 kW and 350 Nm (at 4400 revs). The only transmission is a continuously variable (CVT) that now includes a six-step manual override operated by shift paddles. The entry-level Liberty 2.5i uses a 6.2-inch touch screen and comes with Bluetooth (with intuitive pairing) phone and audio streaming; voice command recognition; and USB and Auxiliary sockets that are conveniently located at the front of the centre console for easy access. Subaru is one of these carmakers who attract loyal customers and they’re sure to be joined by plenty of converts with Liberty’s combination of value and quality.

IndySport We’re ready for Swans bite ‘this time’, says coach Anglers’ reward On the Chris Pitman
WILD weather was challenging over the past week but anglers who braved the elements were rewarded for their effort. Freshwater destinations offered some shelter, with anglers who trekked to the upper reaches of the Moorabool River encountering wild brown trout to 35cm. Small hard-body lures like Rapala F5s and Eco Gear MX-48s caught numerous fish. The most popular areas for stream trout were the Moorabool, Leigh and Barwon rivers, all relatively close to Geelong. Brown trout were also caught at Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree. Casting soft plastics achieved the best results, with anglers targeting the rowing lanes for the extra depth and less weed. A medium-paced retrieve was the way to go, with paddle-tail black-and-gold colourations most effective. On some of the wilder days even fishing out of a boat was counterproductive, so anglers fished mudeye under a float from the bank, discovering trout moving in close to feed in the rough water. Bradley Cox put in a few hours casting lures from the shoreline of Wurdee Boluc Reservoir during a break in the weather. He had no trouble banking a bag of redfin, with some impressive sized fish to 50cm among his catch. Reece Pitt and I fished West Barwon Reservoir on Saturday. After casting lures from the rock wall for some time, Reece finally hooked a well-conditioned rainbow trout of 1.5kg that took a Berkley TTail minnow in black and gold. We both noted that the fish started to move in close to the wall as the sun went down, with both of us able to cast to fish we had sighted. On the saltwater scene, tuna reports slowed as angler’s sought shelter from rough seas. When conditions did allow boats out from Portland, anglers reported bluefin tuna of 20kg in 50m. Anglers in the area also had fun chasing big winter salmon on lures trolled behind the surf, while the harbour held whiting, squid and snapper. St Leonards was consistent for squid and whiting. The biggest whiting were caught further down toward the mouth of Swan Bay. Queenscliff Harbour fished well for silver trevally and Australian salmon on bait and lure. The entrance to the harbour was hot for trevally on the slack tide, with baits such as pilchard accounting for fish to 40cm while salmon to 1kg were a welcome by-catch. Improving weather over the next week should allow anglers to head back out on the tuna. The trout fishing should only go from strength to strength as the region moves toward winter, with lakes such as Purrumbete normally producing trophy browns from the east bank.
By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE PROSPECT of facing Sydney does not present the insurmountable challenge it might otherwise have for a Geelong side back on an even keel. The Swans, last season’s runners up, handed out a 100-point drubbing the last time the two sides met. But Sydney has had its own hiccups this season, most notably against the Western Bulldogs two weeks ago. Playing at ANZ stadium on Saturday night also helps Geelong’s cause – at least it’s not the tight SCG, the scene of last year’s smashing. “We had a difficult preparation before that game. We’re much better prepared this time,” Scott told this week’s media conference. Another fast start a la Collingwood will help Geelong’s cause enormously but Sydney will mount a response and the Cats have to be prepared to go into lockdown defence. The most pleasing part of Geelong’s win over Collingwood was the defensive effort when the Pies staged their comeback. Previously Geelong had folded when teams generated a run-on against it, with a difficulty in switching from attacking mode to defensive mindset. The ask will be greater against Sydney, which will be far-better organised than Collingwood. “The way the game is played and the quality of the opposition means there will be ebbs and flows in games,” Scott said. “As much as anything, it’s a matter of riding the momentum when you’ve got it and stifling the opposition’s momentum when they’ve got it.” Sydney has already demonstrated its comeback ability with a first-round win against Essendon, managing to rescue the game just in the final quarter. But Western Bulldogs withstood the onslaught in the rain two weeks ago and Sydney, the city, is likely to be sopping again this weekend. Scott acknowledged the ground conditions would dictate the approach to the game. “It did rain and that changes the game a fair bit,” he said. “It might rain on the weekend and if it does we can learn some things (from the Western Bulldogs win) but if it’s dry the game will be played differently.” Scott was particularly pleased with his defensively-minded young forward group, including Rising Star nominee Cory Gregson. “I was impressed with the way some of our inexperienced players were starting to work together. “Some individuals got recognition but more important to us was the cohesion we started to see with our young group.”

Warriors face Werribee as relegation risk intensifies NORTH Geelong Warriors’ fight to avoid relegation will intensify further when it hosts Werribee in a derby-like NPL fixture this weekend. Werribee is coming off its first win of the season in a scrappy match against Oakleigh that included a red-card to winning-goal scorer Ryan Filipovic. North Geelong claimed a deserved 1-1 draw against Dandenong, although the Warriors could be frustrated after failing to capitalise on their control of the match. The Warriors got off to a good start but the problems of previous weeks in failing to take chances allowed Dandenong to get into the contest. As the half wore on Dandenong began to unsettle the Warriors’ midfield, coming out of defence easily and hitting a killer pass to danger man Yusuf Ahmed who took on Darren Lewis in several one-on-ones. Ahmed broke through at times but Daniel Zilic in
SWOOP: Skipper Matthew Townley in action for the Warriors. Picture: IVAN DUGANDZIC goals pulled off saves to keep the Warriors in the contest. The Warriors started the second half with surging runs into the penalty area from Nikola Jurkovic and Juso Julardzija, who opted to lay off balls
rather than shoot, letting Dandenong off the hook. Dandenong’s players had less of the ball at their feet but were more clinical, with Ahmed zippping into the box on 57 minutes when he capitalised on a miscommunication between defence and midfield to strike low and hard past Zilic for the lead. Dandenong came at the Warriors in waves, with North Geelong having its custodian to thank for keeping the score at 1-0. Zilic’s worked didn’t go to waste. In the 75th minute Jurkovic, weaving into the box, was upended by Abdirahman Ahmed, earning a clear penalty that was duly dispatched by skipper Matt Townley. A final opportunity fell the way to the Thunder in injury time but Zilic came out hard to quash the opportunity. In another step forward for the Warriors, two weeks without a loss will lift their confidence, which will be needed as Werribee visits Elcho Park with a spring in its step.
