Stabbed cop gets top bravery award

By PAUL MILLAR A veteran policeman, who thought he would die after being repeatedly stabbed by an ice-crazed driver on the highway at Batesford, has been awarded the Victoria Police Star.

Senior-sergeant David Reither, who was transferring from Geelong to Ballarat at the time, said the award, one of the highest in the force, closed another chapter in a ca-

reer of more 27 years.

It was a modest answer from an officer, who suffered dearly for doing what he regarded as his duty, while travelling along the Midland Highway in August 2013.

A routine trip in his marked police car turned into life-changing episode when a drug-fuelled West Geelong cafe hand pulled the handbrake on his girlfriend’s car, causing it to spin 180 degrees on the busy

highway, narrowly missing traffic.

The car straddled the middle of the highway facing the wrong way with the man and woman involved in an obvious dispute.

The senior-sergeant pulled over to offer aid and was calling triple 0 when he felt four blows to his side. “I thought there had been an accident at the time and then I felt the hits to my side,� he told the Indy.

They were more than punches - it

was a frenzied knife attack.

He realised immediately that he was in trouble and called his wife as he believed he might die. He fell to the roadway and was airlifted to the Alfred, suffering massive internal bleeding, with his left lung collapsing after being flooded by blood.

He recalled the day with prompting and modesty.

China spurs tourism boom

By PAUL MILLAR Geelong and the Bellarine are major drawcards for international visitors to Australia and Victoria is driving a tourism fightback with a massive boost in overseas tourists.

Over a 12-month period to the end of the September, international visitors to the state were up 28 per cent, generating an income of $6.2 billion.

While Victoria topped expenditure growth rates, Geelong and the Bellarine led the way in a regional breakdown with a 22.6 per cent hike in overseas visitors.

Roger Grant from Tourism

Greater Geelong and the Bellarine said it was an outstanding result which was driven by a changing market.

“We are benefitting from a change in focus.

“We are now a destination that is globally compelling and multithings have lined up for us,” the chief executive said.

“Geelong has stepped into the main spotlight and we are reaping the benefits,” he said.

Studies by Tourism Research Australia showed that mainland China visitors were partly driving the Victorian growth and were pouring $2.1 billion into the state’s coffers.

Mr Grant said the Chinese now led the list of overseas visitors to the region at a chart topping 14 per cent, followed by tourists from New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

“China has come on leaps and bounds on what was projected. The level of increase has been quite dramatic,” he said.

Overseas tourists pump about $60 million into the local economy annually with Mr Grant saying that in addition to the traditional attractions many overseas visitors were travelling to the region to catch up with relations at Deakin University.

Minister for Tourism and Lara MP John Eren said Victoria was

leading all other states in international visitor numbers.

“It’s a sign we are heading in the right direction,” Mr Eren said.

“Our international visitors are vital to our economy. They keep our small businesses busy and generate jobs for Victorians, making it a stronger state,” the minister said.

Expenditure by international tourists in regional Victoria increased overall by 17.5 per cent, reaching $437 million.

Geelong also earns $271 million from domestic day-trippers and $417 million from domestic overnight stays.

In Brief Workplace death A 41-year-old man working at a poultry farm at Lethbridge was struck by a forklift late on Monday night, suffered a number of injuries and died at the scene. WorkSafe is investigating. The man is the eighth worker to have died at work in November, making it the worst month for workplace fatalities in Victoria in more than a decade.

Police boost Additional officers have been drafted in boost resources at the Portarlington and Drysdale police stations over the busy Christmas period. Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said that local police command was now working on rostering and security arrangements to ensure a seven day counter service at Drysdale and Portarlington. Front desk management would increase to four days a week at Queenscliff.

Food for fines FLYING: Victoria’s air defence against bushfires has been boosted with the arrival of two of the world’s biggest firefighting aircraft at Avalon airport.

Each can carry more 12,000 litres of water, retardant or foam. In 2014-15, they dropped more than one million litres of retardant across Australia during bushfires. Environment Minister Lisa Neville said Victoria was bracing for another busy fire season, with the long-range weather forecast showing an increased risk of bushfires across the state.

Campaign urges drivers to ‘be present’ this Christmas The Transport Accident Commission is presenting Geelong residents with a positive road safety message at tomorrow’s Denis Walter Carols by the Bay. TAC senior road safety manager Samantha Cockfield said the TAC’s Be Present roadshow would be at the event to give carollers the chance to create a colourful, personalised Christmas road safety message for their loved ones.

“It’s a giant present and you can wander in and have yourself giftwrapped and photographed for a Christmas card that you can send to family and friends or put on social media,” Ms Cockfield said.

“The cards will remind your loved ones that the best gift they can give this Christmas is to be present.”

About 10,000 people are expected to attend Saturday’s carols at Eastern Beach, the first of nine carols by candlelight events throughout Victoria where Be Present will be set up, delivering the Christmas road safety message to 80,000 carollers.

“We’re at that time of year when people love to enjoy time with their family and friends and no-one deserves to have an empty seat at the table because of a tragedy on the roads,” Ms Cockfield said.

Ms Cockfield said the festive season often meant road trips involving

5 COLOURS SIZE 30-44

large distances and unfamiliar or less-travelled roads.

“Planning trips is essential and if you’re going to be driving for longer than two hours, factor in rest stops and allow plenty of time to reach your destination,” Ms Cockfield said.

“We need drivers to stay within speed limits, drive to the conditions and ensure they are present in the moment and not distracted by mobile devices or passengers.”

Australian Transport Safety Bureau research shows fatal accidents over Christmas tend to involve more rural locations, high-speed zones and single-vehicle crashes. Higher numbers of passengers, women and

children under 15 are also killed during the season.

Ms Cockfield said Christmas also meant lots of work break-ups, Christmas parties and other functions where alcohol was often involved.

“If you know you will be drinking, make sure you plan ahead and ensure you have a safe way home, whether that’s a designated driver, a pre-booked taxi or organising a friend or family member to pick you up,” she said.

“This Christmas, let’s all look out for our friends and family and share the responsibility for keeping each other safe.”

Geelong Library’s annual Food for Fines campaign supporting Geelong Food Relief Centre will run across its 16 branches and two mobile libraries again this year.

The campaign runs to 18 December with fines being waived in exchange for nonperishable food items. The campaign collected 1387kg of food last year.

Fighting fire Belmont CFA station is to receive a boost in members after 30 new fire-fighters graduated this week from a 19-week training course at the Victorian Emergency Management Training College at Craigieburn.

The recruits will work side by side with volunteer members as part of CFA’s integrated brigade model, adding to the additional 407 career fire-fighters and officers in service since 2011.

Online intervention The state government has provided funding of $365,000 for family violence victims to seek intervention orders online.

The announcement comes as family violence across Geelong is climbing at an alarming level, with legal services dealing with up to 10 cases a day, three days a week at the magistrates court.

Road works Asphalt patching and line marking works will be undertaken on busy Thompson Road between Sparks Road and Cox Road to improve the overall condition of the road, VicRoads has announced.

The works will be carried out between 6 December to 10 December between 8pm and 5am, weather dependent, with lane closures and a 40km/h speed limit.

Hospitals agree Geelong’s two largest hospitals have agreed to work together in a landmark relationship agreement. Barwon Health and St John of God Health Care said it would see the organisations working in partnership to ensure the best possible health outcomes for people in the Geelong and surrounding region.

Defence projects at risk

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN Geelong’s Victorian Defence Procurement Office (VDPO) is virtually an empty shell with no plan or projects, Liberal Member for Corangamite, Sarah Henderson has claimed in Federal Parliament.

Ms Henderson said VDPO, based at Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus, had seen little action and was an “embarrassment”.

“The VDPO was announced by Victorian Premier Andrews in March 2015. It was an election commitment of $5 million,” Ms Henderson said.

“It is meant to have state-wide responsibility and act on behalf of all Victorian based defence companies, marketing the skill and capability of Victorian and Geelong manufacturers to the largest defence contractors in the world.

“Five million dollars was provided over four years at $1.3 million a year. So far, it is made up of three people, two cars and an office at Deakin University, at Waurn Ponds, at a cost of $550,000 a year.

“From what I understand, there are no investment programs, no projects being delivered, there is no plan for Defence jobs and there are no deci-

sions made on how this additional $2.8 million is going to be spent.

“This was a big commitment by the Andrews government and it is incredibly disappointing to see so little action on the ground and no plan.”

A spokesperson said since coming to office the Andrews Labor Government had welcomed a $1.3 billion Commonwealth contract to build the next generation of military vehicles in Victoria and the Air 5428 RAAF pilot-training facility.

He said the VDPO had “engaged” with industry on supply chain and investment opportunities and LAND 400 SEA 1000 projects.

NEWS

City investigation Commissioners have been appointed by state government to investigate the City of Greater Geelong.

The Commission of Inquiry will comprise Mr Terry Moran AC, Ms Jude Munro AO and Ms Frances O’Brien SC who will inquire into the adequacy of the current governance structures at the council and runs until 31 March 2016.

The announcement comes after Susan Halliday’s Workplace Cultural Review which found significant concerns relating to current culture and structures.

Ms Hutchins said the inquiry would look at a the amount of clarity in the roles and responsibilities at all levels within Council.

It would also consider the efficiency and effectiveness of governance arrangements in delivering services to constituents as well as issues raised by the Halliday report.

Ms Hutchins said the commissioners would have broad ranging powers including summoning witnesses, requiring the production of documents and full access to the Council and its documents.

Mayor Darryn Lyons said he welcomed the independent Commission of Inquiry with council cooperating fully.

Gordon gets traineee, apprentice funds

By ALANA MITCHELSON The Gordon Institute will receive an additional $6.2 million of funding to strengthen its trainee and apprenticeship provisions next year, the State Government announced yesterday.

Minister for Training and Skills Steve Herbert said the Gordon had received a total of about $14 million of extra funding this year.

“The Gordon is an integral part of Geelong.

They’re viable in terms of the workforce development of Geelong, increasing institute productivity and the transition towards re-skilling that’s going on, particularly from the auto manufacturers into other businesses,“ Mr Herbert said.

He said the money would help support the TAFE to deliver important, relevant training and drive growth in apprenticeships and traineeships, to better meet employment needs of Geelong.

Gordon CEO Lisa Line said the funding would further assist the Gordon in providing training aligned with industry and community needs for the future.

“A major focus of the Gordon is on supporting Geelong’s economic transition. Jobs in traditional industry sectors are transitioning while other sectors, such as health and construction, are large and fast growing.”

Operators of controversial trawler Geelong Star have agreed to avoid recreational fishers during the summer months.

The agreement was hammered out in a meeting between recreational fishers and the Small Pelagic Fishery Industry Association (SPFIA) in Canberra.

SPFIA Chairman Grahame Turk said the operators of the Geelong Star agreed to not fish in Zone Seven for the rest of this fishing season, ending April 30, 2016.

Zone Seven extends from Barrenjoey Headland, near Sydney, to Fraser Island, off Queensland, covering close to one million square kilometres of ocean.

He said the operators of Geelong Star recognised that the summer months brought more recreational fishers into the waters of southern NSW and Victoria.

“The operators have pledged to use their best endeavours to avoid interactions with recreational fishers, including avoiding fishing near major game fishing tournaments,” Mr Turk said.

A small family farm down near the 12 Apostles rejoices in the angelic moniker of Great Ocean Ducks.

That’s right, GOD for short.

Greg and Jodi Clarke have established a 16-hectare operation farming free-range Aylesbury and Pekin ducks.

In fact local federal MP Dan Tehan described the spot in parliament as close to a slice of heaven as you are likely to see with views down to the coast near Port Campbell.

GOD has even produced a fast-selling cookbook because duck can be a difficult recipe to master.

With 150 birds a week flying out the door, including locals eateries Gladioli and Zigfrids, it’s easier than ever to find GOD.

Two sets of turkeys have been won so far and the five week competition ends with the Indy’s 18 December edition.

Transferring business names to the digital platform can be dicey, especially when it comes to creating a website name or email address.

Sometimes the new moniker creates an unintentional word or word combination.

Geelong Independent recently became Geelong Indy, in part because so many emails went astray because correspondents often included an “a” in Independent.

Local business Ocean Grove Removals has fallen into the same trap. Its website has been reduced to ogremovals, which when read on its truck, to the eye can look like ogre movals.

But we’re sure they’re all really nice blokes.

Black spots fix promised

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A long-awaited fix for mobile black spots along the Geelong rail line has finally been announced by the State Government.

An $18 million Regional Rail Connectivity Project promises to fix mobile black spots along the state’s five busiest rail lines.

Regional Development Minister Jaala Pulford said the project would to deliver better services for commuters travelling between Melbourne and Geelong.

Ms Pulford said it would put regional rail commuters on equal footing with their city counter-

parts, bridging the regional connectivity gap.

She said poor mobile coverage affected all passengers but was a particular problem for regular commuters using smart phone, tablets or laptops while traveling to Melbourne for work or study.

Mobile carriers will be asked to co-invest with the State Government to build phone towers along the route.

Ms Pulford said she hoped construction of the towers would commence in mid-2016.

“I know how intensely frustrating this is for commuters who have work to do, or who want to send a text message or tweet to the world.

“The Labor Government is investing in the fu-

ture of our regional cities through the Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Fund, and this project will be a big productivity boost for the state.”

But the State Opposition said labelled the project a betrayal because the former Coalition Government announced a $40 million package to fix the problem and deliver free Wi-Fi in 2014.

Shadow Assistant Treasurer Gordon RichPhillips said Premier Daniel Andrews was betraying regional Victoria by pulling funding on Wi-Fi on V/line trains.

“Daniel Andrews and Jacinta Allan must come clean to regional Victorian commuters on where this money is being redirected to.”

Cemetery Telstra tower protest march hits the streets

By PAUL MILLAR An historic Geelong cemetery, regarded as “sacred to the community” was the wrong place for a Telstra tower and the telecommunications giant should listen to the voice of the people, according to Richard Marles.

The Federal Member for Corio had “enormous concern” about a Telstra push to appeal a City of Greater Geelong decision denying permission to build a 35.7m tower in the Geelong Western Cemetery grounds.

The older graves told the story of the history and evolvement of Geelong, Mr Marles told Federal Parliament.

Telstra will challenge the council decision at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, despite widespread local opposition, including 371 objections, sent to the council.

Mr Marles said it was one of the most significant cemeteries in Victoria and was the burial place of King Billy, also known as Willem Baa Nip - the last of the Indigenous Barrabool tribe - who died in 1885.

“I add my voice to those locals against this. I urge Telstra not to go through with the appeal. It

is an error of judgement on their part, and they need to listen to their community.’’

The Geelong Cemeteries Trust has signed a lease agreement with Telstra but that would only become valid if all legal concerns were satisfied.

Darryl Thomas, the trust’s chief executive, said his organisation was locked into an agreement that it could not step away from.

He also said the site earmarked for the tower was a soil storage area.

Mr Thomas said the Trust was open to meet-

Plan my future care Health Ca

ing with anybody with any concerns.

Jonathan Connor, a spokesman for objectors, said his group expected Telstra to take the fight to VCAT and protesters would continue to rally against the proposal.

“They would be impacting on the sanctuary and sacredness of the site,” Mr Connor said.

“Every person that I have spoken to says it’s disrespectful and it would be an exaggeration to suggest that Telstra had even been involved in minor consultation with local residents,” he said.

From page 1.

“That’s what we do, sometimes we stop to help and then things happen,” he said, back on the job at the station.

He is still dealing with “some physical issues” but admits the incident, not the medal, has changed him.

“The good thing now is that I am more cautious for my members, I think about things a little bit more,” he said.

The Grovedale man who stabbed him was later captured following a full scale manhunt after he fled into nearby paddocks.

He was sentenced to four years and eight months with a non-parole period of two years.

During an award ceremony Senior-Sergeant Reither was commended by Assistant Commissioner (Western Region) Tess Walsh for efforts that went “so far above and beyond” the call of duty.

Channel swim garners top award

By ALANA MITCHELSON Earlier this year Savannah Gill challenged herself to swim across the English Channel, leading her to claim the esteemed Duke of Edinburgh achievement at the Gold level.

The 18-year-old Geelong Grammar student, who has just completed her final high school year, has spent hours of community service, and has devoted her own time to a number of school projects and extracurricular activities to surpass the bronze and silver requirements and excel in fields across the board.

Before undertaking the relay swim in England, Miss Gill was a confident swimmer but had never swum competitively.

Her team of seven, consisting of students from various year levels, began training in September last year in preparation for the relay swim during the June holiday period across the English Channel.

Miss Gill swam two hour-long legs, with the team starting at 4am and took it in turns to swim continuously until about 6pm in the evening.

“It was one of the most rewarding and demanding experiences I’ve ever had. That feeling of successfully reaching the French shore was one of absolute elation and exhaustion,” she said.

“I felt like the training really built my physical stamina. It was more of a mental battle than anything.

“There were so many times while I was in the water when I just thought I couldn’t do it, especially in the last 10 minutes.

“But then I’d look up at all the grinning faces in the boat cheering me on and it gave me the energy to keep going.”

She said she was thinking of pursuing biomedical engineering or medicine, and that the gold award helped her realise what she can achieve and raised her expectations of herself.

Miss Gill along with Geelong students Ronald Bunker from Wallington and Emma Threadgold from Torquay will be presented their awards at

CHALLENGE: Savannah Gill crossing the English Channel. the Gold Award Gala in Melbourne at the Grand Hyatt on 5 December.

Mr Bunker volunteered with the CFA as part of his Duke of Edinburgh.

“I have improved my team and leadership skills and have a better understanding of the gen-

erous effort community service workers put in. I was also given the opportunity to meet new people and establish new friendships.”

Miss Threadgold said the service component was significant in fostering a sense of community.

“This award has allowed my self-confidence,

determination and perseverance to grow,” she said.

Established in 1963, the Duke of Edinburgh is an internationally recognised and leading achievement award for young people.

Wheelchair footy is kicking goals

By ALANA MITCHELSON Jenny Macpherson could not wipe the smile off her face as she manoeuvred her mobility device toward an oversized yellow balloon, striking it through a set of football posts to score a goal for her team.

“Go Jenny!” spectators and her team cheered supportively.

Ms Macpherson is one of about 20 people with a disability from across the Barwon South West area who has joined a weekly social balloonfootball game since it was introduced about four months ago.

The sport is a modified version of AFL to suit the needs of people with a disability who are often excluded from taking part in team sports.

It is played on an indoor basketball court and involves Auskick goal posts set up at either end, with a 90 centimetre-diameter balloon acting as the ball.

Regardless of whether or not a player’s disability limits them to using a mobility device, all players must be in a wheelchair - either powered or manual - to ensure everyone is equal.

Ms Macpherson, who has been playing balloon football for five weeks, described it as “fun physio.

“I think everyone with a disability needs to play a sport. There are not enough outlets like this,” the Bell Park resident said.

“I usually have all of this excess energy but after two hours on the court I feel pretty tired.

“I was a bit nervous when I started playing and I didn’t know anybody, but I feel more confident as I develop my skills. I really love it.

“It will be good when we can have more teams and get a competition going with a proper ladder.”

Developed 20 years ago by two men from Scope, a not-for-profit group supporting people with a disability, there are now over 200 registered balloon football players across Victoria.

Scope’s Emmanuel Pimentel who coordinates the Geelong team said he hopes to gain enough

KICKING ON: Jenny Macpherson gets a big kick away. (Alana Mitchelson)

interest and funding to support a league for people in Greater Geelong, with opportunities to compete at state level.

“Balloon football has really taken off in Bendigo and some parts of Melbourne,” he said.

“It gives them the opportunity to play sport like everybody else.

“We’re hoping we’ll be able to get the resources to support enough players for our own weekly comp where we can have a finals playoff.”

Mr Pimentel said balloon football has had a therapeutic effect on many players.

“It’s good therapy. It improves dexterity and strength,” he said.

“There are actually two guys, David and Brendan, who played a high level of competitive foot-

ball prior to their injuries. They relish the opportunity to once again play competitive sport on a regular basis with their mates and it helps to improve their fitness and movement.

“We had one man who wouldn’t move his legs when he first started but now he’s kicking the ball.

It’s exciting to see how much they’ve all improved.

“The other great thing about this sport is that both women and men can play. There’s no discrimination.”

Yesterday the players demonstrated balloon football to the public at a free event in Torquay as part of International Day of People with a Disability. All were welcome to play or express their interest in joining the group for regular games.

Corey Britten was keen to demonstrate the

sport to the community on Thursday.

“I look forward to causing some more chaos on the court,” the Belmont resident laughed.

“Playing balloon football gives me more energy.

“I have played totem tennis and racquet ball in the past but I have never seen anything like this sport before.

Mr Pimentel said there were volunteer opportunities such as scoring, coaching and umpiring and that some schools have shown interest. Families are also welcome to be involved.

He said that those interested in joining or volunteering could call 5221 5444 or email epimentel@scopevic.org.au

Hi

This is Value with a capital V! Some would say, “the vintage, is the vintage, is the vintage” and in 2011, this was definitely the case and the region as a whole produced much lighter colored pinot noirs than normal, yet as in Burgundy, this means the wines are still flavoursome, but lighter, softer and more early drinking in style. This is all that and more with classic fully mature earthy complexity and interest to burn at a ridiculous everyday drinking price! Only 300 cases…

What more can be said when it comes to a beautifully smooth, rich Merlot from the darling cool climate region of the incredibly picturesque Adelaide Hills in South Australia. Full of super soft dark berry richness and flavour with a hint of herbal complexity, and the medium bodied palate feel makes this damn easy to drink. Only the quick and the dead with this one…

Only 64 cases…

OMG, locally grown red grape variety – Sangiovese, with classic nuance of ‘Italianesque’ tar & roses savoury character! They say life is full of surprises and this ripping red does just that and is full to the brim with typical ‘Chianti-like’ character – think lifted rose petal/ dry herb fragrance, savoury richness and a soft, dry finish. Think no more, this is what you quaff down among friends with your favourite pizza or a big bowl of pasta – Get in before it says Ciao!

Only 150 cases…

Now this is bargain buying at its very best! This is a light pale straw colored white wine made from locally grown Viognier grapes with beautiful aged character and complexity, that displays a surprising edge of fresh lemon zest on the full, flavoursome palate. The dry, minerally finish imparts a certain ‘Italianesque’ feel and makes it ideal drinking with any seafood or pasta.

Only 200 cases…

Super supple with distinct regional expression, this pinot noir shows slight whole bunch stalkiness, sappy primary dark berry/plum fruit and silky tannins on the finish. The 2012 vintage was such a cracking year for pinot noirs in our region and this wine showed so much promise that they produced too much in the end, now having to slash the price to clear excess stocks. For lovers of good value pinot, the choice is simple – get on it! x 1500 cases…

Deakin oil spill clean up invention Deakin University scientists have manufactured a revolutionary material that can clean up environmental oil spills.

The materials could save the earth from a repeat of the 2010 Gulf Coast BP disaster that wreaked environmental havoc and cost a reported $40 billion, according to scientists.

The breakthrough material, which literally absorbs the oil like a sponge, is ready to be trialled by industry after two years of refinement in the laboratory at Deakin’s Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM).

A paper outlining the breakthrough was published in the journal Nature Communications.

Alfred Deakin Professor Ying (Ian) Chen said the material was the most exciting advancement in oil spill clean-up technology in decades.

“Oil spills are a global problem and wreak havoc on our aquatic ecosystems, not to mention cost billions of dollars in damage,” Professor Chen said.

“Everyone remembers the Gulf Coast disaster, but here in Australia they are a regular problem and not just in our waters.

“Oil spills from trucks and other vehicles can close freeways for an entire day, again amounting to large economic losses.

“But current methods of cleaning up oil spills are inefficient and unsophisticated, taking too long, and causing ongoing and expensive damage, which is why the development of our technology was supported by the Australian Research Council.

“We are so excited to finally get to this stage after two years of trying to work out how to turn what we knew was a good material into something that could be practically used.

“In 2013 we developed the first stage of the material, but it was simply a powder that had absorption capabilities, but you cannot simply throw powder onto oil.

“You need to be able to bind that powder into a sponge so that we can soak the oil up and also separate it from water.”

INVENTIVE: Prof Ian Chen.

IFM scientist Dr Weiwei Lei said turning the powder into a sponge was a big challenge.

“But we have finally done it by developing a new production technique,” Dr Lei said.

“The ground-breaking material is called a boron nitride nanosheet, made up of flakes just several nanometers (one billionth of a meter) in thickness with tiny holes which can increase its

surface area per gram to effectively the size of 5.5 tennis courts.”

The research team, which included scientists from Drexel University, Philadelphia and Missouri University of Science and Technology, started with boron nitride powder known as “white graphite” and broke it into atomically thin sheets that were used to make a sponge.

“The pores in the nanosheets provide the surface area to absorb oils and organic solvents up to 33 times its own weight,” Dr Lei said.

Professor Yury Gogotsi from Drexel University said boron nitride nanosheets did not burn, could withstand flame, and be used in flexible and transparent electrical and heat insulation, as well as many other applications.

Victorian Inquiry Into Labour Hire and Insecure Work: Geelong Public Hearings The Inquiry is investigating the practices of labour hire companies and the social impact of insecure work. It will be assessing if the current legal framework meets the needs of Victorian employers and labour hire workers.

GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

Bunnings brings jobs to Leopold More than 110 new jobs will flow from a Bunnings Warehouse opening in Leopold next year, the company has announced.

The $28 million Gateway Plaza store would open in mid-2016, Bunnings said.

Construction of the 12,300-square-metre store is under way after Bunnings secured council approval for a plaza expansion to accommodate the new hardware store.

Bunnings Leopold will comprise a main warehouse, indoor timber trade sales area and outdoor nursery, an indoor playground, a cafe and parking for more than 250 cars.

The company was “committed to supporting the community in Leopold”, said its property general manager, Andrew Marks.

“Bunnings’ investment in Leopold will provide great job opportunities for the local community, with over 110 new positions expected to be available in the Bunnings team, representing strong employment opportunities for local residents and school leavers,” Mr Marks said.

The Indy revealed in June that Bunnings planned to open in Leopold after rival big-box hardware chain Masters abandoned its plans for the town in 2013. Masters had been unable to secure council approval of its preferred site.

The former owners of Mitre 10, Keith and Barry Fagg, objected to both the Masters and Bunnings planning permit applications.

A $72 million development will transform Gateway Plaza from a local neighbourhood centre to be the dominant sub-regional shopping centre on the Bellarine Peninsula.

The development will also deliver a full line Kmart, an Aldi supermarket and approximately 40 additional specialty stores growing the centre to five times its current size.

The centre would grow to 32,369 sqm to incorporate the Kmart floorspace of 5,300sqm and the expanded grocery offer also featuring Coles.

The centre will also boast 40 new specialty stores and more than 1000 parking spaces.

The Inquiry will be conducting public hearings in Geelong on Monday 7 December – Tuesday 8 December 2015.

The hearings will be held in the City of Greater Geelong Council chambers at 57 Little Malop Street, Geelong and will commence at 10am on each day.

Members of the public are invited to attend and address the Inquiry.

Arrangements can be made for closed hearings if required.

Handbag gifts make a difference

By ALANA MITCHELSON The Geelong Period Project is accepting handbags of goodies as Christmas gifts for local homeless women in need.

The initiative launched in September as a regional arm of the Melbourne-based project. It serves as an ongoing means for people to donate sanitary and toiletry products to homeless women and transgender men.

To provide them support over the festive season, Geelong Period Project are calling on members of the community to donate a new or preloved handbag with a small gift inside to make someone feel special this Christmas.

Project coordinator Kat Ligakis said she estimated about 200 gift bags have been donated since they launched the Christmas handbag appeal two weeks ago.

“The Barwon South West Homelessness Network will distribute the handbags to agencies who can deliver the donations to the people in positions of need in our region,“ she said.

“They work across Bellarine, the Surf Coast, Geelong, Hamilton, Warrnambool, Colac and Portland.

“We ask that people keep in mind that the donation should be considered as a gift. The idea is for these women to receive something special on Christmas day.“ Examples of gifts to place inside the bags include but are not limited to pyjamas, beauty products, sunscreen, perfume, clothing, a notebook and pen, a hat or sunglasses.

The Geelong Period Project also had some local businesses and other community groups come on board.

Mercy Health have offered their reception as a public drop-off point for handbag donations to the appeal, with the majority of drop-off points being private homes.

Amanda Bowe of Mercy Health said they received 20 handbags with gifts in just two days.

“Donations started rolling in on Monday,“ Ms Bowe said.

GIFTED: Mercy Health’s Jane McDonald and Monica Schreurs with the handbags donated so far.

“We wanted to provide a business location as an option for people who may find that more accessible for dropping off donations and support the vulnerable in our community.“ Geelong Period Project are accepting dona-

tions for the appeal until 3 December. Those donating are also encouraged to write a card to wish the recipient a merry Christmas.

Organisers estimate that roughly 600 to 700 bags will be needed to ensure some women who

Study buddies have refugee kids feeling like the laptop of luxury

By ALANA MITCHELSON A Corio church is calling for financial donations towards buying laptops for its weekly homework club that supports local refugee children.

Members of the church recognised a need for assisting Karen and Karenni kids in the refugee settlement areas of Corio and Norlane with their transition into Geelong schooling.

High school students then act as peer-support mentors or ‘study buddies’, helping the kids with homework tasks and activity sheets.

The children of refugee families - spanning from grade five to year 12 - receive weekly additional support during the school year, with the primary focus on developing language skills.

Church treasurer Carol Martin, who coordinated the homework club when it began five years ago, said about $3200 had already been donated from schools, community groups and the Karen/ Karenni community.

“By nature, they are very gentle people. So at school they can sometimes be too shy to ask for help. There’s great stuff available at schools but we’ve found that having one-on-one time with older peers helps build their confidence,” she said.

“It’s especially helpful for kids from families of a lower socio-economic background.

“We’re very grateful to Geelong Grammar and Kardinia International College. They bus students in years nine to 11 out here every week at no cost to the homework club.”

Ms Martin said the church was open to student volunteers approaching them from other schools and they hoped to get to a stage where the ratio of Karen kids to student volunteers is one to one. They currently average about 30 kids a week, with 15 student volunteers.

While the homework club’s primary focus was

the Karen/Karenni community, it is open to any kids specifically in need of support with their English.

Homework club coordinator Jill Giddings said the laptops would really make a difference to the children’s learning. The homework club recently had its last session for the year and hopes to raise the funds in time for the new school year.

“The computers we have are getting quite old and we want to upgrade to laptops. We think the kids will get really great use out of them,” she said.

“It’s really nice to see the kids come, even when they don’t have any homework. We have activity sheets prepared so they can test their learning.

“The concept of child to child mentoring works really well. The high school volunteers come as part of their community service programme but we’ve often found that students will continue to come because they enjoy helping the kids and form friendships.”

A past student, who used to attend the homework club, was one of last year’s VCE high achievers in Victoria.

Chri Hay Htoo Doh obtained excellent results in English (EAL), physics and, product design and technology.

Current students, May Soung and Lwe Say Paw Moo Doh Soe, from Northern Bay College were sad to be at the last homework session for the year.

May has been in Australia for five years and is now in grade six.

“My parents weren’t educated. They were farmers. Now they go to school in Australia too,” May said.

“I remember school before I came to Australia.

We had a table on the ground and we would sit on the floor.

“I like coming here because the girls are really nice. They help me with writing essays.”

Lwe Say Paw, Zoe, May, Izzy and Eloise enjoying the last day of homework club together for the year.

(ALANA MITCHELSON)

Lwe Say Paw said the language barrier has been her greatest struggle in the two-and-a-half years her family of 12 has been in Australia.

“All of those girls have helped me,” she gestures toward three Geelong Grammar students.

“We do maths together and all kinds of subjects. We read to them too. It’s helped with my English a lot.

“I think other kids would learn more if they come along too.”

Geelong Grammar students Zoe Marshall, Izzy Hope and Eloise Winchester volunteer as mentors at the homework club and sit with May

and Lwe Say Paw once a week after school to help them with their studies.

They said the experience had helped their understanding of the Karen/Karenni culture.

“Most of us volunteered last year as well for community service credit. Now we just come because we want to,” Izzy said.

“It’s been interesting to learn about their culture. Who knew there were so many refugees in Geelong?”

Her friend, Eloise, agreed.

“It’s been really eye-opening. It feels good to know you’re able to help out,” she said.

The end of November marked another belowaverage month for rain across the Geelong region.

Except for a small area around Lismore, the Geelong-Otway region recorded well-below average rain for four months in a row. Not since July has Geelong received its monthly average.

Geelong’s urban area averaged only 27mm compared to the normal November total of 53mm.

The month capped a disastrous spring for the region, with Geelong rain normally reading 50mm to 60mm a month. This year’s spring saw less than half the 30-year average for rain.

As a result, the region’s water catchments finished spring at only 55 per cent capacity, with West Barwon Reservoir less than a third full.

The parlous state of the storages and stretch of below-average monthly rain is not a good start to summer, which usually delivers maximum usage of water.

The only good news on the horizon is the expected breakdown of El Nino in the early new-

year, with more rain expected and continuing into the following months.

The dry period has also coincided with a warmer November than normal and a much warmer spring than the latest 30-year average.

Five days were over 35C for the month, with the maximum reaching 35.9 C on 9 November.

November was 1.45C warmer than normal and spring was overall 1.2C warmer by virtue of the hottest October on record.

Two thunder days were recorded on 5 and 30 November, with a single instance of light hail on the 26th.

Three days of very strong wind gusts were recorded on 25, 26 and 30 November. The maximum gust of 83km/h was recorded at Breakwater on 25 November, which also delivered some minor tree damage.

Queen’s Park recorded a maximum of 93km/h and some gusts were over 100km/h at Mt Gellibrand the same day.

And just for the record, a small 2.2-magnitude earthquake was registered near Anakie on 7 November.

Letters International date online A friend of mine has recently returned from the Philippines where he has identified a potential future partner.

He is in his late 50s, she a beautiful 18-year-old virgin from a rural village.

How did he find her?

On line, through a dating service where young women were looking primarily for a foreign male partner over 50 years of age!

The reason: Younger local men are perceived as being unreliable by many Filipino women.

As one young lady told him “they (young Filipino males) get you pregnant, then dump you, move on”.

The best hope, in their view, of a happy relationship with anything of a future lies with older mature foreign men (in some cases, the girls indicate they will consider men up to 75 years of age).

Perhaps not a very long-term relationship, but one which will lift them out of the grinding poverty of their country and hopefully guarantee them an improved life in a first world country after, if not before, their husband/partner departs this mortal coil.

Michael J Gamble, Belmont.

Star turn The late afternoon debate and subsequent vote in the Senate on whether to halt the Geelong Star’s night time activities was both disturbing and disappointing on several fronts.

Firstly, the Senate and the Bill put forward completely ignored the overwhelming demands from recreational fishing groups, smaller commercial operators and, most importantly, the demand of the public that the vessel be completely banned from Australian waters.

To debate and then vote upon only one aspect of this factory trawler’s operations is to deliberately thumb their noses at the wishes of the majority of Australians and to treat their concerns with contempt.

There should have been one question only: Should the Geelong Star and all factory trawlers be banned permanently from Australian waters?

Also of grave concern is the fact that 14 senators were missing from the chamber at the vote.

The Senate has shown its hand. It wants no part in leadership on this important issue.

The ball is now fairly and squarely in Sarah Henderson’s court.

She now needs to drag her Coalition colleagues kicking and screaming to the only desired outcome - a complete ban on not only the Geelong Star but all factory trawlers by biting the bullet and introducing a Private Members Bill into the House of Representatives.

It is time for Sarah Henderson to put rhetoric aside and demand action. The time is long past for gentle negotiations.

Unhappy anniversary The first anniversary of the election of the Andrews Labor government was marked on 29 November.

Unfortunately, this has seen infrastructure spending in Torquay come to a complete standstill.

Important projects such as the Jan Juc and Torquay Surf Life Saving Club’s pavilions, a new pavilion for the Torquay Netball Club, signalisation of the intersection of Beach Road and Surf Coast Highway and new buildings for Bellbrae Primary School have all been abandoned by Daniel Andrews.

In addition, Daniel Andrews’s neglect will see the Torquay North Primary School, funded by the previous Liberal State Government, open one year late in 2018 instead of the scheduled 2017.

This will place even more pressure on Torquay P6 College and Bellbrae Primary School.

In contrast, the previous Liberal State Government delivered major upgrades to the Surf Coast Highway, a new Torquay SES base and Bellbrae CFA station, constructed and opened the new Surf Coast Secondary College, funded the construction of the new Torquay North Primary School, upgraded the Torquay and Jan Juc Kindergartens as well as redeveloped the pavilions at Spring Creek Reserve and the Torquay Bowls Club.

PLIGHT: A reader suggests an environmental jobs solution.

Environmental work John Van Klaveren’s cover story (Geelong Independent 27 November) on Forgotten workers’ transition struggle, shows the need for work other than the current “smart jobs” being created.

Wouldn’t it be great if Council, Parks Victoria and other related bodies assist by creating an employment program modelled along the lines of the successful and now world famous Warranambool Middle Island Project, around which the movie Oddball was based.

The endangered hooded plover at beaches such as Breamlea are begging protection from feral animals such as foxes, cats and unrestrained dogs that are incapable of reading the “Keep Clear” signs during the breeding season.

The use of dogs, such as “Ted” for environmental causes was also mentioned by John on page 7 of the same publication, on the plight of the Otway tiger quoll.

It would be of great benefit if we, as a community employ the “A team” to investigate the feasibility and implementation of a Maremma dog project tailored to suit the environmental challenges the breeding site presents.

It would require a team effort and dedication to which this group of ex-Alcoa workers may well be suited.

The ongoing requirement would create employment and provide protection for the birds and provision of public information on their work, which would be of great interest and benefit to us all, and more importantly the success of bringing the hooded plover back from the brink of extinction in the process.

Symbolic Norfolk At the time of the traumatic happenings in Paris I was on Norfolk Island.

This tiny dot in the Pacific Ocean, only five miles by eight, is a world-leader in the art of living together in peace and harmony. It is a balm in a troubled world.

So it’s nice to know that there’s a happy and peaceful place on Earth where people fully trust their neighbours.

About 2000 people live there - they are the descendants of the English seamen from the mutiny on the Bounty and the Tahitian women who are their maternal ancestors.

They don’t lock cars or houses, even when they go off on holiday.

They share and trade the produce of their gardens and the fruits of their skills and crafts.

Fruit and vegetables are left out in baskets with a jar for payments and the honour system is respected.

Co-operation and mateship can be relied on whenever boats are launched from the pier as friends always arrive to work the ropes and crane then return to haul up the vessel afterwards.

In this time of global turmoil, Norfolk Island is a microcosm showing that change is possible for it was once the most brutal penal colony on earth… and now it is a peaceful and friendly paradise.

So, I see it as a symbol of hope for our future.

Melva Stott, Anglesea.

Paris weather At the end of this month, 40,000 delegates are meeting in Paris to try and come to some agreement on combating alleged global warming.

This is despite the fact that world temperatures have gone sideways for nearly 19 years now despite the elevated levels of CO2.

We have a situation now where vast amounts of money, time and resources are being devoted to solving a problem which is disputed by more than 31,487 scientists.

If only the same amount of effort, time and resources could be put into combating disease, Islamic terrorism or poverty we could have solved these problems long ago.

There are two main questions the Paris climate summit needs to face: is the present climate change a CO2-driven process or a natural process

Email: editorial@geelongindependent.com.au PO Box 407, Geelong, 3220 Fax: 5249 6799

and, secondly, are sea levels rising rapidly or only rising marginally?

In both cases it is a matter of models versus observational facts.

Unfortunately decision makers have opted to go with speculative climate modelling and ditched the traditional tried and proven approach of basing conclusions on the full inclusion of factual based data and an understanding of longheld physical laws.

Many climate scientists relying on measured changes in temperature and the logarithmic relationship between CO2 and temperature rise maintain that by year 2100 temperature will not rise by +3°C as predicted by climate models, rather it is more likely that the rise in temperature would be in the vicinity of around 1°C. Such a rise would pose no problems at all to the planet.

Secondly, actual measurements currently show sea levels are not in a rapidly rising mode.

Available observational facts indicate changes with a zone of plus or minus one centimetre per year and so therefore pose no threat to low lying coastal zones.

Conclusion: there is absolutely no reason to be panicked or concerned over climate change in the foreseeable future.

Alan Barron, Grovedale.

Celebrate volunteers On International Volunteer Day (5 December) all over the world, we celebrate volunteers and the difference they make to their communities.

The Red Cross Red Crescent Movement has a truly remarkable network of millions of volunteers, with 3500 in Victoria.

They are guided and united by seven fundamental principles that ensure the work they do is grounded in humanity from risking their lives to help the wounded in Syria to burying Ebola victims safely and with dignity or providing comfort to someone who has fled a natural disaster here in Australia.

We recognise that the volunteer landscape is changing. The percentage of people in Australia who volunteer has declined in recent years and people have less time to give.

This year we surveyed more than 5000 Australian Red Cross volunteers and found they have an immense sense of pride in being part of the organisation and feel connected to their communities through volunteering but they seek more opportunities to learn new skills with us and want more input into the way we work.

We will use the valuable information we gained from the survey to find ways to keep our volunteers engaged and attract new ones so that we have a sustainable and diverse volunteer base because without them there is no way we would be able to deliver the huge range of services we offer our communities.

It goes without saying that volunteers are vital, not only to the Red Cross but to our whole society.

Thanks to all the wonderful people who volunteer. You make Victoria stronger, more connected and a better place to live. Happy International Volunteer Day. Penny Harrison, Executive Director, Red Cross Victoria.

Four in 10,000 True science welcomes and even demands scepticism so that all ideas are subjected to rigorous scrutiny and debate.

Junk science tolerates no questioning or debate, demonises and vilifies anyone who dares challenge it, alters and cherry picks the data it uses and ignores any science that contradicts it.

In the Indy on 27 November Ray Black said: “Furthermore, the ice core data demonstrates a strong correlation of global temperatures with CO2.”

This is true, but Mr Black left out a teensy weensy bit of information; that CO2 changes actually come after temperature changes in the ice core record, not before.

Warmists never mention this crucial bit of information which, basically, shoots their whole theory to pieces.

While it is true that CO2 does have some effect on trapping outgoing infrared radiation, a multitude of studies have shown that the effect is small.

Just think of it, 0.04% CO2 atmospheric concentration is like having four people in a crowd of 10,000 and these four are somehow supposed to warm the other 9996. Duh! Both NASA satellite systems and millions of weather balloons show no atmospheric warming for 18 years, but these are ignored. I wonder why?

Mr Black also said that increasing CO2 accelerates the greenhouse effect but this is not so.

Greenhouse theory says that increasing CO2 causes a logarithmic atmospheric temperature increase and this basically means that as CO2 increases it has less and less effect on temperature increase.

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

Top toys in demand this Christmas It’s wise to get in early for the top toys this Christmas - Tates Toyworld have 20 per cent off their top 20 toys in the lead up to the big day.

One of the most popular toys is Bunch O Balloons, an inventive way to instantly tie the knots of a bundle of water balloons simultaneously.

Toy manager Shannon Zaitz said its much easier to fill the balloons up when he has a fun water fight with his niece and nephew.

“It’s much easier for little children who would usually need a parent to help,” he said.

“Plus, there’s less chance of you getting hit with water bombs when you have no defenses because you have a bunch filled and ready to go to get people back.”

Another successful new releases is The Pie Face Game. It involves a hand flicking cream on players’ faces if they spin the dice and land on certain points on the board.

The new edition of Zoomer Shadow, the robotic dog, is still very popular with the kids. With new features, the virtual dog responds well to training commands to sit, play dead and roll over.

Tates also have a website at brickbuilder.com. au dedicated to Legos, doubled in sales this year.

Mind Games has a range of boardgames to play with the family over Christmas.

Michele Bent of Mind Games Geelong said Cards Against Humanity is currently a best seller.

The black cards contain questions and each player is required to choose a card with the funniest or most inappropriate answer to the question.

Settlers of Catan is a favourite game for all ages. Players progress throughout the game by building settlements and gaining resources.

Mind Games is best known for its huge range of puzzles, with hundreds of different jigsaws.

Some are deliberately designed to be difficult for those who want a challenge, including puzzles of similar colours and double-sided puzzles.

Kids puzzles with chunky pieces as well as those with as many as 32,600 pieces are in stock.

The Sylvanian Seaside Cruiser SF5206 makes a special gift.

The Razor Electric E300 Scooter would be very popular under the tree.

Bunch of Baloons is the top gift this year.

If looking for something a bit different go for beetroot dip, liguarian olives and crispy sucuk. · Don’t forget about breads! Whether it is a classic fresh baguette or sourdough, it’s always important to have some delicious bread to soak up the juices from the plate. · When doing last-minute shopping, come with a plan, don’t wing it.

Oysters - Part of the traditional Australian seafood Christmas. Make sure they’re smiling and nice and glossy and smell like the sea.

Prawns - Another Aussie Christmas classic.

Both fresh or frozen can be great, as cutlets or whole. Choose Australian where possible.

Christmas ham - Go for a natural wood smoked ham with the bone in. Glaze with blood orange marmalade, honey and red wine vinegar glaze.

Gianduiotto chocolates (Chocolate Passion) Decadent smooth, Italian chocolate perfect for Christmas day. Love the gold wrapper - a touch of class.

Time of the Cross The Australian Red Cross is urging the community to spare a thought for others, as Christmas approaches.

Executive director of the organisation, Penny Harrison, has urged all to consider making one more gift to Red Cross.

“Once you’ve bought a Kris Kringle for a workmate, a quirky gift for your brotherin-law or any of the presents you need for family and friends, consider one more give for someone who really needs it,” she said.

“One more gift to Red Cross will help ensure an older or isolated person gets a phone call every day to check they’re OK, clean water for a young child in a remote village in Myanmar, or a shower and a meal for a teenager sleeping rough.”

To make your gift to Red Cross, contact 1800 811 700 or visit redcross.org.au

Consider giving a little extra this festive season.

Motor City’s line-up gets into gear

By ALANA MITCHELSON Motor City Music Festival has announced its second lineup, with more than 45 acts to rock the stages at the Geelong Showgrounds in March.

While committed to the local blues and roots music scene, festival organisers have a variety of music styles over the long weekend from 11 to 13 March.

The themed format divides each day by genre; rock, tributes and country on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday respectively.

Headlining the 2016 event across four stages are American soul singer Eugene Hideaway Bridges, travelling all the way from Texas, iconic Aussie ‘90s rock band Bondi Cigars and UK guitarist Gwyn Ashton.

Local acts include blues singer Chris Wilson, and rhythm and blues band Sweet Felicia and the Honeytones.

The majority of acts are based interstate such as singer-songwriter Shane Nicholson who recently won an ARIA at the prestigious annual national awards ceremony.

Other highlights include Cleveland Blues, 19-Twenty, Benny C and the Associates, Wolfe Brothers of Australia’s Got Talent fame and former X Factor finalist Dean Ray. Festival co-director Hugo T Armstrong said Temperamental’s tribute to The Divinyls was a worthy cover.

“We wanted to make sure there’s something for everyone,” Mr Armstrong said.

“A lot of festivals centred on the one genre can feel a bit same-same. It was a very deliberate decision to create a festival where your experience changes from day to day.

“We also didn’t want people to feel as though they need to go to the whole thing.

They can just choose the one day that best fits their interests.”

Sunday is set to be a family fun day for all ages to enjoy. There will be rides, dodgem cars, a giant slide and kids’ entertainment throughout the day as well as a fireworks display at 8.45pm.

One of the highlights on Sunday is the Comic-Con enthusiasts Melbourne Transformers who will feature at the event in their first visit to Geelong. Kids will have the opportunity to meet Optimus Prime, Iron Man and other favourite action heroes.

Mr Armstrong said his small team of three organise the festival that is expected to reach as more than 7000 music fans next year.

This week, Motor City announced a partnership with Karingal and the festival will be more accessible and inclusive of attendees with disabilities.

Having received requests for camping grounds since the event first took off in 2014, this year there will be camping grounds for festival goers who want to crash overnight and make a weekend of the event.

The showgrounds will have 56 powered and 24 unpowered sites, with toilets and showers available.

Mr Armstrong said people have in the past travelled from as far as Mackay and Perth to attend Motor City Music Festival.

“What people often forget is that music tourism is a large part of tourism,” he said.

“We want to create a sustainable event for Geelong and hope to build other experiences around the festival program in the long-run moving into the future.”

International hits, award winning productions, new Australian work and Victorian-exclusive performances highlight the Geelong Performing Arts Centre (GPAC) 2016 season.

Nine sensational theatre productions making up the season were unveiled yesterday for the launch of the 2016 Deakin University Theatre Season.

Award-winning writer, musician and radio broadcaster Casey Bennetto hosted the event, with performers, directors, writers and producers shining the light on their upcoming productions.

The 2016 theatre season will feature exciting new Australian work including Extinction.

In a regional first, GPAC is co-producing the play together with Red Stitch Actors Theatre.

According to GPAC General Manager Jill Smith, the centre’s bold foray into theatre production serves as a new model for collaboration across the small to medium sector and arts centres.

“The collaboration takes advantage of the investment in regional centres, the skills of regional arts centre staff and the audiences these centres attract,” Ms Smith said.

GPAC’s 2016 Deakin University Theatre Season opens with possibly the funniest play ever written about depression, Every Brilliant Thing.

The season finishes with the Pulitzer Prize winning Disgraced, direct from the Melbourne Theatre Company’s season and starring one of theatre’s brightest lights, Kat Stewart.

Other season highlights include Shake and Stir Theatre Co’s revival of a classic love story Wuthering Heights, the return of dynamic company Watch This with Sondheim’s Company and a Victorian exclusive performance of Winyanboga Yurringa.

GPAC will also welcome the return of one of Australia’s most acclaimed theatre companies, Sydney’s Belvoir, with The Glass Menagerie starring theatre great Pamela Rabe.

Season packages of five or more shows with significant discounts are available online at gpac.org.au or by phoning (the Box Office) on 5225 1200.

The season line up is: Every Brilliant Thing 23-27 February, 4000 Miles 2-5 March, Wuthering Heights 14-16 April, The Glass Menagerie 12-14 May, Company 26-28 May, Extinction 1316 July, Winyanboga Yurringa 17-20 August, Around The World in 80 Days 14-17 September and Disgraced 5-8 October.

Tiger quoll stars in its own story The plight of the endangered Otway’s tiger quoll is highlighted is a new play co-produced by Geelong Performing Arts Centre.

Efforts to prevent the quoll’s extinction were featured in a report in last week’s Geelong Indy about a Geelong rescue dog playing a key role in ecologist’s efforts to save the marsupial.

Ted the detection dog recently found evidence of the quolls deep in the Otway’s, adding vital clues to the scant information about them.

In a regional first, GPAC is taking on a starring role as co-producers of an important and timely new Australian play, Extinction.

Produced with Red Stitch Actors Theatre, Extinction will open as part of the 2016 Deakin University Theatre Season in July.

Written by Helpmann award winning playwright and screenwriter Hannie Rayson and directed by Nadia Tass, the play will tour to Canberra before returning to Victoria for a season at Arts Centre Melbourne.

Extinction is set in the Otways and draws attention to the plight of the endangered tiger quoll - the largest marsupial predator on the Australian mainland.

A wild, rainy night, a twist of fate and an endangered tiger quoll bring together a passionate environmentalist and an unlikely good samaritan.

Both are hell-bent on saving the species, but nothing is black and white in this intriguing story about love, money, sex and power played out under the shadow of global warming.

At the heart of the play is a debate around the conflict between maintaining a healthy environment and our need to generate power, develop industries and create employment.

GPAC general manager Jill Smith said theatre

could play an important role in kick starting debate on such issues.

“There has never been a more important time to find new ways to build broad community understanding of environmental issues and mitigation strategies,” Ms Smith said.

Hannie Rayson says her intention in writing Extinction was to tackle one of the big ethical issues of our time, confronting the moral complexities “without resorting to propaganda or moral fence-sitting”.

GPAC is also working in partnership with Greening Australia, the Australian Conservation Foundation and the Cape Otway Ecology Centre to build a broader understanding of their work through the play.

Harmony singers Pitch perfect harmonies will resonate the halls of Vines Road Community Centre as Geelong Harmony Chorus showcases new singers at a Christmas show.

The all-female a capella group of more than 30 singers will perform under the musical direction of award-winning musical director Alex Morris.

The highly qualified performance and vocal coach will present the matinee vocal performance which promises to be an afternoon of Christmas favourites with four-part harmonies, plus a showcase of some new repertoire.

A group of 10 new singers were selected as part of the chorus’ Sing With Us This Christmas program to join the group for its Christmas show.

Now with about 35 members, the chorus aims to boost

numbers next year to 60 vocalists, Mr Morris said.

“Hearing a large group sing in perfect harmony, it creates an emotional presence,” he said.

“There’s a real visceral energy when the harmonies all lock in. It’s a special thing to tap into.

“They’re such a beautiful group of people.”

The group rehearses weekly, performing a number of local and interstate shows, working towards the state championship event each May. Mr Morris said that while the singers have a range of experience, many of the women have a history of singing in high school or at church and it’s a great outlet for them to return to singing some 20 years later.

Geelong Harmony Chorus is part of the largest women’s musical education organisation in the world, Sweet Adelines International. With close to

2000 members across Australia alone, this international affiliation opens up opportunities for the women to perform overseas and compete interstate.

Five singers from the Geelong Harmony Chorus will join the Melbourne Chorus in an international competition in America next September.

Two a capella quartets groups, reminiscent of the Glee television series or the Pitch Perfect film, will appear as special guest performers at this year’s Christmas show at 2.30pm on 12 December.

Victoria’s top scoring quartet, Something Else!, which placed fourth at a national a capella championship in 2013 will perform along with a newer a capella act, Push Play.

Afternoon tea is included, with hamper prizes to be won.

Entry is by donation at the door.

Crystal clear for summer activity

1209659-KC49-15

“Well, I went on holidays to the beach, and the next thing I know, my ears were completely blocked after swimming”.

Geelong ear nurse Mardi, from Crystal Clear Ears, hears that story every summer. She is gearing up for a busy summer as holiday makers make their way to the coast.

Mardi spends her own summer holidays on the Surf Coast beaches, but this year she will help beach-goers with their ear problems, at her Pakington St Geelong West clinic .

Ear nurses use the latest micro-suction technology to clear ears and can assess them, in case the blockage is due to a swimmers ear infection.

Mostly, the blockage is as simple as ear wax. This happens because wax is slowly collecting inside the ear without people realising it. They head off to the beach, jump in the water, the wax swells up, and suddenly they have a blocked ear.

Blocked ears drive people mad, and they just can’t enjoy their holiday until they get them cleared.

The signs of a blockage caused by a swimmers ear infection include ears that are painful, blocked and very itchy. The

Ear specialist nurse Mardi from Crystal Clear Ears. ear may have liquid in it and feel book in for their annual ear clean in December, so they can swollen in the worst cases.

A thorough micro-suction avoid an emergency trip to the ear clean will clear it all out. ear nurse or doctor in the midSome eardrops may be needed to dle of their holiday.

Mardi says that many people at crystalclearclinic.com.au.

Sore Feet or Legs?

Call

The role of feet in mobility and balance make them the basis for most physical activities, so it’s no wonder problems and pain are common.

But few people realise that feet can affect and cause problems elsewhere, such as in ankles, knees, hips and backs.

Bad foot posture can also pull the body out of alignment, so any pain should not be ignored.

Untreated problems almost always worsen but the solution is often simple with the correct diagnosis and treatment.

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics musculoskeletal podiatrist Dr David Kavanagh says people often endure painful conditions for far too long.

“Most conditions can be easily overcome thanks to the latest medical research and treatments. Even patients who’ve been told there’s no solution or that surgery and/or medications are their only options can now be treated with great success.

“With the right diagnosis and treatment from an experienced practitioner who addresses the cause of the problem and not just the symptoms you can achieve successful long-term outcomes.”

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics Belmont can help with: heel or arch pain; plantar fasciitis; ankle, shin or achilles issues; knee pain; bunions; and injuries or degenerative problems.

Breakthrough treatment It’s a topic not often discussed, however it’s a problem that affects most women at some stage during their lifetime – vaginal atrophy.

Now there’s a breakthrough non-surgical, nonhormonal treatment for vaginal itching and burning, painful intercourse and vaginal laxity.

Dr Fariba Willison, an endo–gynaecologist interested in pelvic floor medicine and reconstructive surgery, pioneered the use of MonaLisa Touch in Australia. She has treated moe than 3000 patients with the laser and has conducted multiple research projects in this area. Many women can benefit from this treatment – it is particularly well suited to pre and post – menopausal women.

However, younger women can also experience some or all of the symptoms of vaginal atrophy due to prolonged used of the pill, breast cancer, chemotherapy, breast-feeding or scarring resulting from childbirth requiring perineal repair.

The MonaLisa Touch laser works by stimulating the body’s own regenerative processes to create more hydrated and healthy cells.

Australian Skin Face Body, Geelong is hosting another information session on Women’s Intimate Health with Dr Willison in February 2016.

To register your interest or to find out more about the MonaLisa Touch, please email info@asfb.com. au You will need a referral from your GP to see Dr Willison at FBW Gynaecology Plus Geelong; the Women’s Intimate Health Service now available at Australian Skin Face Body.

Located at 50 Western Beach Road, Geelong, the multi-disciplinary clinic also offers plastic and reconstructive surgery, hand surgery and a range of dermal therapies including drug free acne treatments.

3 GEELONG’S ONLY INDEPENDENT RACV APPROVED USED CAR DEALER CAR OF THE WEEK

09 KIA GRAND CARNIVAL

The Chrysler 300 SRT sets the bar for Australian muscle cars.

It’s big and bold, and intimidating

By ALISTAIR KENNEDY Back in the 1960s and ‘70s the competition in the Australian family car market was dominated by the so-called Big Three.

Always given in the order ‘Holden, Falcon and Valiant’, the big six-cylinder and V8 cars dominated the local market and put on a right royal battle.

Chrysler Valiant fell by the wayside in 1980 when the company was taken over by Mitsubishi, leaving the field to the other two. Now the position has been reversed with the imminent demise of the Falcon and Commodore leaving a big Chrysler by itself in the affordable large sedan segment.

That car is the Chrysler 300C which has been on sale here 2005 and although it’s never been a big seller, everything else about it is big and it is certainly one of the most recognisable cars on the road. The generation-two model, launched in 2012, was given a mid-life upgrade in 2015 with changes including a new honeycomb infill with the Chrysler wing badge in the centre, rather than at the top of the grille.

There are also new LED foglamps and daytime running lights. In profile the characteristic broad shoulders and high beltline remain but with four new wheel designs in either 18 or 20-inch.

Changes to the rear include a new fascia design and LED taillights. Previously available with either sedan or wagon bodies and with a diesel engine, the latest 300 range only comes with a sedan body and petrol engines.

The four variants are 300C, 300C Luxury, 300 SRT Core and 300 SRT. As the name suggests, the 300 SRT (for Sports & Racing Technology) is the high performance version of the car and we’ve just spent a thoroughly enjoyable week behind its wheel.

While the Chrysler 300C is the entry-level model at $49,000 and the 300C Luxury ($54,000) the higher-specced one, the SRT variants work the other way around with the

300 SRT ($69,000) being the standard model and the appropriately-named 300 SRT Core cutting back on features but also on price ($59,000). For that $10,000 saving in the price Core buyers miss out on adjustable suspension; satellite navigation; leather trim; seat ventilation; cooled drink holders; cargo floor mat and net; and Harman Kardon audio. More importantly the SRT gets a number of extra safety features including Blind-spot Monitoring; Lane Departure Warning; Lane Keep Assist; and Forward Collision Warning.

These are also standard in the 300C Luxury. Both models have 20-inch alloy wheels, machine-faced in the Core and forged in the SRT, as well as four-piston Brembo brakes (black on the Core and red on the SRT). Chrysler 300 has good legroom, headroom and shoulder space for four adults.

There's sufficient width in the centre of the rear seat for another person, though the transmission tunnel steals a fair bit of comfort from that position.

The boot can take up to 462 litres and has a nicely regular shape so can carry bulky items with ease.

However, there's a long stretch under the back window to reach the far end of the boot.

The rear-seat backrest can be folded down, in a 60/40 split, to permit long loads to be carried.

Chrysler’s UConnect infotainment system is centred around an 8.4-inch touchscreen colour monitor located in the centre of the dashboard.

The 300C is powered by a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 petrol engine that generates 210 kW of power and 340 Nm of torque at 4300 rpm.

Under the bonnet of the 300 SRT is a huge 6.4-litre V8 Hemi with 350 kW and 637 Nm. Both engines are now mated with a ZF TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic, especially welcome in the SRTs which had previously used an ageing five-speed gearbox.

The gear selector is a circular dial on the central console. Die-

cast paddle shifters are standard on both SRT models. It will come as no surprise that fuel consumption is high. Listed at 13.0 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined cycle, but a very reasonable 8.6 L/100 km on the highway, we averaged just over 15 during our week-long test.

What you hear is what you’re about to get when you press the engine start button on the Chrysler 300 SRT. With a little help from a flap on the dual stage exhaust the car emits that big, bold burble that sends muscle car enthusiasts’ hearts racing.

Driver-calibrated launch control allows the driver (preferably an advanced one - this is not recommended for the inexperienced) to set their preferred launch revs and, although Chrysler doesn’t quote a figure, a sub-five second sprint to 100 km/h is likely.

Three drive modes, Street, Sport and Track are available which adjust the steering, stability and traction control, suspension, throttle and transmission settings.

They are accessible through the UConnect system’s touchscreen.

The new eight-speed gearbox is a marked improvement on the previous five-speed almost always in the right gear at the right time and with very fast shifts.

Around town it does take some time to get used to the sheer size of these big Chryslers.

It’s a long way from the driver’s seat to the front of the car and you’re looking over a very long bonnet so the front and rear sensors and reversing camera really do earn their keep.

On the motorway the 300 SRT is in its element. It provides a smooth, quiet and relaxed ride. Into the hinterland road grip is high, although this is a big heavy car so you don’t get the same cornering enjoyment as you do from smaller, more agile cars.

For a test drive contact Berwick Chrysler JeepDodge, 257 Princes Highway, Hallam.

SPORT Season over after losses Gummy was LOCAL CRICKET Jim Timberlake Geelong Cricket Club's season is in tatters, after two losses last weekend in the Twenty 20 format virtually closed the door on any finals hopes.

On Saturday, in pursuit of Footscray Edgewater’s 7/141, Geelong somehow orchestrated a one run loss in a chase it would have been confident of successfully completing.

Then on Sunday against the Monash Tigers, coach Andre Borovec would have been tearing his hair out as his side managed to almost replicate the previous days result, this time finishing on 9/131 in reply to the Tigers 7/133.

A one run loss on Saturday, followed by a two run loss on Sunday, pretty much sums up what has been a campaign that started with much hope, but in reality, has been frustrating.

With another two days of Twenty 20 cricket this weekend, the side will be looking to snag a win or two, if only for its own belief and enjoyment.

Geelong Cricket Association plays a two day game this round, before closing the first half of the season with a one dayer in three weeks’ time.

Some teams are sitting pretty, while for others,

they need to get a serious wriggle on if they want to contest this season’s finals.

In division one, South Barwon has been the surprise packet thus far, sitting on top of the ladder with four wins and a draw. It takes on Geelong West in a match.

Phil Lang has been the standout contributor for the Swans with 315 runs already, while with the ball, evergreen star Brad Hauenstein tops the wicket tally with 11 scalps.

With some good young talent coming through such as Luke Ford and Hunter Kremer-Slevin, South looks to have a good blend of youthful exuberance and experience, which should see it win this game easily.

BELL POST HILL v Leopold, Grovedale v EAST BELMONT, NORTH GEELONG v Lara, ST JOSEPHS v Newtown & Chilwell, Murgheboluc v GEELONG CITY. In division two, while the top teams fight it out in the race to the finals, bottom teams Waurn Ponds and Alexander Thomson go head to head this round, with one team guaranteed some rare joy.

It's been a tough slog for both sides the past season or two, but with the sniff of a victory in the

air, expect both sides to bring their A game.

Tom Stewart has led Alexander Thomson well so far this year, with a couple of narrow losses that could have gone either way, indicating that the Vikings aren't far away, and will go in slight favourites.

St Peters v HIGHTON, Torquay v MARSHALL, THOMSON v Bell Park, ST ALBANS BREAKWATER v Manifold Heights, NEWCOMB & DISTRICT v Modewarre.

And in division three, a mouth-watering clash awaits between second placed Shelford and third placed Corio.

Shelford lowered its colours to Teesdale last round, while Corio enjoyed a solid win over Inverleigh.

With momentum the key leading into the Christmas break, both sides will be desperate to take the points here.

While Corio has been the more consistent of the two, Shelford has a bit more class and should win, but only if it plays at its best.

GUILD ST MARYS v Inverleigh, TEESDALE v Little River, Meredith v BANNOCKBURN, Lethbridge v WINCHELSEA, Corio Bay v Bye.

Rangers score with well-regarded former professional Geelong Rangers has posted a notice of intent to their rivals by appointing highly regarded coach Jim MacLean to lead the club in the coming season.

The former professional player, who had stints at Sunderland and Greenock Morton, before playing for the Brisbane Lions, said he had watched the senior side over the past two seasons and believed the players were not reaching their potential.

“There is going to be a huge culture change to achieve what I want to achieve and that is going to include attitude and discipline,” MacLean said.

“This is a good club, run by good people with excellent facilities and I am excited to be given the opportunity. My love of the game has never gone away and I want to pass it on and give value for money.”

He said he had turned down other clubs to take the job at Rangers.

“I am looking forward to the challenge and I am hoping to bring a new level of professionalism to the club, it’s all about preparation,” MacLean said.

His said his team would play possession-

based football.

“I’ve got my mind set on how things should be, it will be a good style, with plenty of possession with the obvious intent of putting the ball in the back of the net,” he said.

MacLean, who has two sons at the club, Aaron and Andy, was not coming to Rangers to “make pals” and would be introducing new faces.

“The door is open for anybody to come and age does not come into it, if they are good enough they will get a chance,” he said.

Rangers’ development sides performed well at all levels last season and the club has provided a clearer pathway into the senior ranks by appointing highly regarded local Liam McCloskey as under 17 coach.

The club sees the appointment as a crucial link between junior and senior soccer.

Highly qualified and respected, McCloskey is attracting players to an already strong squad.

He will work together with McLean in producing players that are match-ready to step up.

“There’s real potential at this club and recently it has not been realised,” McLean said.

READY: New Rangers coach Jim MacLean.

Cadel attracts the cream of the world's cycling crop Cycling’s top UCI WorldTour teams will converge on Victoria for the 2016 Elite Men’s Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race.

Minister for Tourism and Major Events John Eren today joined Australia’s Tour de France hero Cadel Evans to announce the line-up for the world-renowned race on the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast.

The road race returns for a second year, but this time the event has been awarded higher classification by the Union Cycliste International.

Elevated sanctioning means more first-class giants of the cycling world will descend on Victoria, including OricaGreenEDGE, BMC Racing, Team Sky, Team Katusha, Lotto-Soudal, Trek Factory Racing, Team LottoNL - Jumbo, IAM Racing and Team Dimension Data.

Mr Eren said the race saw thousands of fans line the picturesque circuit to see the stars in action, and many more tuning in to the television broadcast.

“It’s another chance for Victoria to show people all over

Australia we have the best of everything,” he said.

“Events like the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race keep our regions strong, because they attract visitors from all over the nation and the world.

“They’re here keeping our small businesses busy and our local economies strong.”

The race includes an elite men’s and elite women’s race, as well as people’s ride, where budding cyclists can ride the course alongside the 2011 Tour de France winner.

“It’s great to see some of the giants of world cycling descending on Victoria for the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race. The biggest names belong in the sporting state,” Mr Eren said.

“We’re fast becoming one of the great locations for the big cycling events outside Europe.

A line-up like this one only boosts our claim.

“Our calendar of events is impressive, but we’re always working hard to grow it further, because we know a busy calendar means a strong state.”

no dummy ON THE BITE Chris Pitman Hearing all the talk about snapper Toby Masters teamed up with his grandfather and uncle for an attempt at a big red.

Launching out of Clifton Springs last Tuesday afternoon the guys anchored up just south of the Point Richards channel. Not long into the session Toby’s rods buckled over with a snapper of 3kg attached.

Toby’s fine angling saw him boat his first snapper. By the end of the trip the trio boated another six legal sized snapper plus a bag of flathead as well.

Last Saturday Kevin Hunter was fishing the ANSA convention held out of Queenscliff. Kevin took a nice flathead over 1kg that came from inside the Swan Bay channel. Other anglers in the convention weighed in snapper to over 6kg from the Mornington area along with some impressive sized pike from back towards Swan Bay. With a midnight start Sunday night Tackleworld Geelong’s Michael Moore was on the hunt for a gummy shark.

Anchoring up alongside the South Channel out of Queenscliff Michael was plagued by nuisance fish such as Port Jackson and banjo shark.

After sifting through the unwanted for an hour or so Michael assumed his latest hit was just more of the same. But as he went to net the culprit the light from his head lamp revealed a gummy shark which promptly took off and gave him grief.

Finally Michael boated the gummy shark going just over 8kg, making fishing solo in the middle of the night worthwhile.

Just around the corner at St Leonards anglers have encountered reasonable numbers of squid from the pier. Casting artificial jigs has been most effective at night on the outskirts of the pier lights.

Snapper have also been taken at night from the pier with dedicated anglers fishing the early hours taking home the best results.

St Leonards has also started to see larger model flathead taken from shallower waters. Casting soft plastics or drifting blue bait, anglers boated fish to 60cm.

Down the Surf Coast the spinning action is really starting to fire up with those fishing both beach and rock platforms taking home the goods.

Bancoora Beach at the beginning of the run in tide produced Australian salmon to 2kg. Those driving a little further west down to Lorne took salmon of a similar size but in larger numbers from the many rock platforms. One of the standout lures at present has been the Sea Iron Pelacus.

Freshwater anglers fared well this past week with large yellow belly, redfin and trout all finding their way into angler’s bags.

Michael Evans last week spent some time fishing the numerous lakes surrounding Ballarat for redfin. He was able to bank numerous fish to 46cm in length. The trusty Fish Arrow soft plastic did the trick with a long cast and slow retrieve necessary.

Up at Lake Eildon Tony Hynds spent last weekend targeting the large yellow belly. Tony had an excellent trip boating three yellow belly to 55cm. He noted that purple coloured hardbody lures worked the best. As a by catch Tony caught an impressive sized Murray cod of 73cm that was promptly released.

Adam Van Der Lught was at it again this time fishing the many small streams flowing in and around the town of Bright. Casting his fly rod Adam found no shortage of both brown and rainbow trout to 800gr. Adam remarked that it was some of the best dry fly fishing he has experienced and the water quality was superb.

Those with snapper fever can still expect a reasonable chance next week from just off the channel at Clifton Springs.

Swan Bay would have to be the best place for a mixed bag of quality fish such as flathead, pinkies, whiting and squid.

Cod season is now open so heading north and trying Eildon should yield good results.
