Shouldering the blame

By Luke Voogt Darryn Lyons has emerged from surgery accusing tourism campaign organisers of failing to provide a stunt double before his infamous horse fall in 2014.

“I’m very lucky to escape with the damage that was done. It could have killed me,” the former mayor said after Tuesday’s shoulder surgery, which he attributed to the fall.

But Tourism Geelong and The Bellarine boss Roger Grant denied the claim, saying Mr Lyons never requested a stunt double.

Mr Lyons was mounted stationary at 13th Beach while filming the tourism campaign when his robes spooked the horse, prompting it to bolt down the beach and throw him from the saddle.

HONOURED: Order of Australia Medal recipient Jan Kinloch, pictured with husband Ken at their 50th wedding anniversary. 177020

Hospital helper earns an OAM

By Luke Voogt If anyone deserves the best care at St John of God Hospital, it's new Order of Australia medallist Jan Kinloch.

Over almost 30 years Jan and the hospital’s auxiliary have raised $612,000 for new beds, medical equipment and patient transport.

“I have a passion for the place and I hope I’ve helped,” the 71-year-old said while recovering at the hospital from pneumonia on Tuesday.

Jan joined the auxiliary in 1989, serving as president since 1998.

“We do fundraising and we run the little gift shot seven days a week,” the Highton local said.

The hospital’s special care nursery, oncology department and Japanese gardens are also a part of Jan’s legacy.

“But it’s not just me, it’s all the ladies,” she pointed out.

“They’re all wonderful. I’ve had some brilliant people over the years.”

Until recently Jan also volunteered driving patients in a car the auxiliary supplied.

“We’re raising funds to buy a new car because it’s 10 years old,“ she said.

Jan joined Scouts in 1981 as a leader alongside husband Ken and has been treasurer of its local museum since 2005.

She has also promoted women’s issues for decades with National Council of Women of Australia.

An overjoyed Jan admitted she struggled to keep the honour a secret until Australia Day. “Only my husband knows. I feel so privileged someone has nominated me - it’s going to be a very special day in my life.”

Jan joined Diana Allen, Roger Allen, Paul Hemming, Michael Mace, Peter Mansfield, Mark O’Leary and Barrie Provan in becoming Geelong’s newest Order of Australia Medal recipients today.

Waterfront plan ‘threat to public parkland’

By Luke Voogt Geelong would lose public parkland if the Liberals' achieved their vision of a foreshore convention centre, according to a veteran local environmentalist.

Geelong Environmental Council's Joan Lindros instead backed the Labor State Government's alternative to build the centre on a university car park, which she said would "protect" the waterfront.

The Liberals' idea for a convention centre on Western Beach would be an overdevelopment, she said.

“We want to keep the waterfront free for everybody to use. It should be available for all people, not just people attending conventions.”

But federal MP Sarah Henderson dismissed

Joan Lindros

Sarah Henderson

Ms Lindros's concerns, saying a convention centre on Western Beach would be subject to strict environmental evaluation.

“At the moment there’s simply a path and very little community space,” the Member for Corangamite said.

“It would be low-lying, iconic, beautiful building on the waterfront which would actually add

significant amounts of community open space.”

Ms Henderson and state South Barwon MP Andrew Katos have called for the Andrews Government to consider Western Beach for the proposed convention centre.

“Whether it’s constructed on the water’s edge, on pylons or on reclaimed land jutting into the bay, the possibilities ... are endless,” Ms Henderson said.

She demanded that State Government release the findings of its $1 million business case for construction of the centre on Deakin University's waterfront car park.

“It’s been shrouded in secrecy,” she said.

“I get the impression that what the Victorian Government is proposing is a 10-storey high box.”

Sumo slams needy with 46% price rise

By Luke Voogt Geelong households face more power bill shocks after a man on Centrelink payments revealed a new 46 per cent price hike this week.

Sumo Power increased Robert Kucharski’s electricity charges from 27.4 to 40 cents per kilowatt hour in the space of a month.

“This is has been very, very hard,” said the 53-year-old Polish expat, battling on Centrelink with several medical conditions.

“I have 12 tablets a day, I pay rent and I pay bills.”

Mr Kucharski was shocked to discover the rise when he opened his bill in December.

The company failed to notify him of the charges in advance, he said.

“It’s absolutely disgusting - I did not get any information about this.”

And Mr Kucharski will have to pay an extra $5 each bill after the company introduced fees for mailing and paying via Australia post.

“It’s a big overcharge,” he said. “I’ll be changing my company.”

The company offers email as a cost-free option for sending out bills. But Mr Kucharski said injuries prevented him from using email.

He was walking a friend’s dog in January 2013 when two other dogs attacked him, Mr Kucharski said.

The incident left him with spinal injuries and numb on one side of his body, he said.

“I have trouble moving.”

The former mechanic said he also suffered from asthma and had a heart attack in October last year.

Other energy companies have introduced similar fees but most have exceptions for concession card holders, pensioners and people in hardship programs.

But Mr Kucharski said he was not on a disability pension.

“Three times my doctor has sent Centrelink an application for disability but always they respond with something different.”

A Sumo energy spokesperson blamed the closure of Hazelwood Power Station for the price rise.

“Unfortunately, like other electricity providers, Sumo has seen wholesale power prices rise following the closure,” they said.

“We have been forced to pass on those higher costs to customers.”

Sumo took care in being transparent and

IN BRIEF Kitchen closes Suppliers will deliver 87,000 “pre-packaged meals and sandwiches” to Barwon Health patients after its main kitchen closes for renovations next week, the service has announced.

The suppliers would cover 3000 meals a day from 29 January to 26 February as the kitchen underwent flooring and equipment upgrades, said Barwon Health food services manager Scott Hughes.

Tourists robbed A woman apparently drunk or on drugs has allegedly car-jacked two young German tourists near Wye River before bolting from their campervan at the town’s caravan park.

Police charged the suspect with motor vehicle theft and robbery, with the 40-year-old Tasmanian set to front court at Colac in March.

Family missing Police have taken the unusual step of naming a missing family believed somewhere in Geelong out of fears for the safety of their children, aged four and one.

Broadie Summerscales and Emily Gibson-Williams and children Leyvi and Lukah Summerscales disappeared from Lilydale on 1 January, with police believing they might be moving about Geelong in a white Ford Falcon registered OSD 242.

Algae outbreak A dangerous algae has bloomed at waterways in Lara and Drysdale, City Hall has warned.

Anyone coming into contact with the bluegreen algae at Hovells Creek, in Lara, and Drysdale’s Lake Lorne risked symptoms ranging from rashes and mouth ulcers to vomiting and diarrhoea, the City said.

Addict denied A 22-year-old woman on drug and weapon charges following a raid on the Melbourne home of former Geelong Cats coach Mark ‘Bomber’ Thompson has lost her bid for bail.

Drug addict Katia Drcec told a Melbourne magistrate she needed to care for her ill mother but will instead remain in jail until her next court appearance.

Wild ‘party’ Youths have thrown bottles at police trying to break up an illegal beach party with hundreds of revellers at Point Lonsdale.

Police accused parents of supplying some of the teenagers with alcohol for the party off Fellows Rd on Sunday night.

Plover success

BATTLING: Robert Kucharski copped a 46 per cent price rise on is his most recent power bill. 177023 (Rebecca Hosking) notifying customers about its fees and charges, the spokesperson said.

“The Australia Post fee is a fee charged to Sumo by Australia Post - Sumo does not recover the full cost of this service.”

Mr Kucharski’s story comes after Australian Industry Group’s national policy advisor Tennant Reed warned that power prices could threaten up to 2500 Geelong’s manufacturing jobs.

He told the Indy last November that if prices continued to rise at current rates it would be “life or death“ for energy-intensive manufacturers.

Mr Reed said the closure of power plants such as Hazelwood and the reliance on gasfuelled electricity had led to the increase.

A lack of export controls and State Government policy had in turn led to an increase in gas prices.

Mr Reed backed the state opposition’s position of lifting Victoria’s moratorium on exploring onshore gas.

He encouraged State Government to explore importing gas and reconsider its position on unconventional extraction methods such as fracking.

A series of breakfasts to “spread the word” on saving endangered local hooded plover populations has been a success, according to a spokesperson for the group behind the initiative.

Friends of the Hooded Plover Surf Coast was rapt to see “so many people” with their dogs at this month’s breakfasts on four beaches between Torquay and Airey’s Inlet, said group spokesperson Sue Guinness.

Festival winner A French film has won the top prize at a 2018 Bells Beach Surf Film Festival, organisers have announced.

The “daring” Biarritz Surf Gang beat 10 other contenders including four Australian premieres to win this year’s title, the organisers said.

Geelong bike plans ‘good for business’

By Luke Voogt Plans to remove road lanes and car parks for bike paths could boost business along Belmont's High St, according to a cycling advocate.

“I honestly think it would benefit the traders,” said Bike Safe president Barton van Laar.

“If an agreement can be reached with the traders I think in the long term it will benefit business.”

Readers almost unanimously slammed the plan on social media after the Indy reported traders’ concerns last week.

“People on bikes are not going to be shopping there but people in cars will, stupid idea council,” posted Nola Bufton.

“It’s hard enough finding a car park around High Street most days as it is, why make it harder just to make the Lycra brigade happy?”

But Mr van Laar pointed to studies in Europe and the US that showed cyclists shopped more than motorists and better cycling paths had increased turnover.

“There has always been resistance at first but experience overseas shows that when you do implement these changes it benefits everyone,” he said.

Less than one per cent of Geelong commuters ride to work, but Mr van Laar said this was due to poor infrastructure and workplace facilities.

About 15 per cent of all people in Geelong ride a bike at least once a week, he said.“Research has shown that if you build safer infrastructure, separated from vehicles, up to 60 per cent of all people will consider riding a bike.

“These paths are not for the Lycra brigade they’re already riding - but for everyday people that want to ride to the shops, school and the city.”

The “younger, more professional workforce” and new Deakin University students moving to Geelong greatly increased the need for cycling corridors, he said.

“They’re the prime candidates who want to ride the bikes.

“The Deakin Waterfont campus alone does not have enough car parking available for all its students and staff, and viable alternatives are desperately needed.”

Deakin and organisations like the TAC and Worksafe had built showering and bike facilities, making cycling more attractive, Mr van Laar said.

Better bike infrastructure would decrease traffic in Geelong and have “obvious“ health benefits for the city, he added.

The network would provide “strategic” connections from Gheringhap and Moorabool Streets to Armstrong Creek, Belmont and Waurn Ponds, and to a separated dual bike lane on

Mayor’s CEO ‘to work with’

THEY WILL COME: Barton Van Laar says improved infrastructure will dramatically increase the (Rebecca Hosking) number of people cycling to work. 177024 Barwon Heads Road after the road’s duplication, Mr van Laar said.

He said having the network run through High Street would be a “bonus” but he acknowledged traders’ concerns about parking and the need for compromise.

City of Greater Geelong’s Guy WilsonBrowne said the proposed Principal Bicycle Network would run through High Street.

But he assured traders that City Hall would only design the section between Mount Pleasant and Roslyn roads after consultation with traders and the community.

“A workshop with the traders has been organised for mid-February,” he said.

According to Census data, cyclists account for two per cent of the more than 40,000 trips to and from central Geelong each day.

Geelong’s mayor wants a new council chief who can “work with me”.

Bruce Harwood made the stipulation after the previous chief quit the day following his appointment as mayor in November.

Cr Harwood revealed his expectations of Kelvin Spiller’s replacement as recruitment advertising commenced last week.

“Relationships are key to future prosperity, so we are looking for someone who can work with me and the council to strategically plan for the infrastructure and services that are needed by our growing community,” Cr Harwood said.

“There is also a need to ensure the community voice is listened to, as we plan for the growth and sustainability of our region.

“It’s an exciting time to be in Geelong with a refreshed council, a growing sector of government agencies who are bringing increased investment and skyline to the city centre, and a thriving creative business environment.”

Experience and good listening skills were also important, Cr Harwood said.

“We’re looking for an experienced leader who is a natural communicator with council, staff, community and our many stakeholder organisations.

“It’s important the person has the understanding and ability to lead a diverse team of 2700 people and continue to grow a positive workplace culture.”

Councillors appointed Cr Harwood mayor at their 13 November swearing-in following his reelection as a former member of the sacked previous council.

Mr Spiller, who was chief executive officer when the council was sacked, announced his resignation on 14 November.

“My decision to resign should in no way reflect negatively on the new council,” he said at the time.

“In fact, I had given confidential notice of my intentions to the Local Government Department well before last night’s swearing-in process.”

Mr Spiller said he would leave City Hall at the end of March, six months before the end of his contract.

He was looking forward to “a break in Italy or France for a few months” but declined to say whether he had lined up a new job.

At the time Cr Harwood described Mr Spiller’s resignation as “unexpected”.

The recruitment campaign for Mr Spiller’s replacement included national print advertising and “various online sites”, City Hall said.

DOUBLE TAKE It must be something in the water hazard - Barwon Heads’ Oates Vic Open has managed to secure entries from its 10 past champions.

The five previous winners of the men’s and women’s titles will be back at 13th Beach Golf Links next month from around Australia and the world, organisers crowed this week.

But the most interesting pair trying to recreate history won’t have far to travel. Australian Richard Green and Norwegian Marianne Skarpnord had only just moved into their shared home on the 13th estate when they won both titles in 2015.

Skarpnord first knocked off rising star Su Oh before watching then-fiancee Green win a sudden death shootout against Nick Cullen.

Must have been a big night in the SkarpnordGreen household!

Locals are urged to get out in force to cheer on our loved up local pair for a repeat performance on 1-4 February.

Surf Coast ratepayers must think it’s ground-

hog day after their councillors launched ingloriously into 2018 this week.

At this week’s first meeting of the year they adopted guidelines protecting Bells Beach’s hinterland - 12 months after a landowner won approval for a holiday resort overlooking the iconic break despite 33,000 objectors.

Barn door, meet bolted horse. Might save the hinterland furniture, at least.

Then Cr Heather Wellington raised a ‘duh’ motion demanding that the shire consider its obligation to basic services like roads before, reportedly, spending on extraneous issues like renewable energy.

A council without its eye on the ball? Never!

And to cap it off, the shire misled the public when it blamed VicRoads for a failure to install reduced speed zoning outside a new Torquay school. The shire initially said VicRoads “refused” the zoning only to explain a day later that council had yet to actually apply for the change.

Sheesh. And it’s still January!

The career of Lara model Amber Dew continues rising in unexpected directions.

Featured as Watch This Face in the new edition of Geelong Coast magazine, Amber’s won a series of recent titles including Miss International Australia, Miss Perfect Body and Miss International in 2017.

Clearly she’s the miss that can’t miss!

Anyway, this weekend she’s stepping off the catwalk and into the judges’ box at Miss Gay & Miss Transsexual Australia International 2018.

She’ll be one of eight judges at St Kilda Town Hall ranking contestants on everything from themed costumes to talent and swimwear.

Hopefully she can resist any parochial urges when Geelong’s Ivana Kabab, AKA Nick Gerardi, takes to the catwalk for the Miss Gay International Australia title.

Then again, with a name like Ivana Kabab, maybe he deserves extra points!

From page 1.

“When it was being discussed with me (beforehand) I was pretty adamant it was the kind of thing you get a stunt rider for,“ he said.

Mr Lyons, an experienced rider, described the horse as “not docile”.

“I don’t think the horse was the kind of horse that should have been used.”

He rode the same horse through Geelong the day before the accident for a separate segment of the campaign.

“But I didn’t have the rope and chains or any of that paraphernalia on at the time.”

Mr Lyons also criticised a lack of helmets, safety equipment and medical staff at the beach.

“Even when you play polo you’ve got ambulances for this sort of thing,” he said.

He suffered mild concussion, strained ligaments and cuts after the mayoral chains hit his face.

“I was lucky I didn’t lose an eye.”

The shoulder injury worsened after the accident to become so unbearable it required surgery, Mr Lyons said.

He was hopeful on Thursday of a satisfactory recovery.

“The surgeon said it went very well,” he said.

“It’s now a long, long period of rehab. For the next three or four weeks there’s going to be a lot pain.”

Mr Lyons admitted he regretted mounting the horse.

“If I had my time over again I would have been more blunt about what should have been done and what shouldn’t have been done.”

But Mr Grant said the stunt-double discussion “never arose because we never anticipated the need”.

“If Darryn had requested a stunt person ... of course we would have considered it,” he said.

“It was just the mayor (sitting) on the horse.

If Darryn had asked of course we would have considered it - it wasn’t as if we had planned to have a horse charging down the beach.

“If he had said, ‘No, I’m not doing that because it’s dangerous’, we would have adhered to that.

“I think we were as shocked as anyone.

It wasn’t even thought about as a high-risk strategy.”

Mr Lyons drove the campaign concept and knew his way around horses, Mr Grant said.

“That was obvious from the previous shoot where he riding the same horse through the centre of Geelong.

“The fact that he held on for so long (before the fall) was a demonstration of his skill.”

Mr Lyons declined to say whether the accident was an issue for WorkSafe, given he was appearing as Geelong’s paid full-time mayor in a campaign for a council-funded tourism body.

City Hall refused to comment when the Indy enquired about whether council had provided any medical support after the accident. geelongindy.com.au

A family under sail

By Luke Voogt For three generations Geelong's Garner family has sailed around Australia and the world, from the pristine lakes of Italy to the perilous Atlantic Ocean.

Brendan Garner followed in his father John’s wake, sailing in his first Geelong Festival of Sails 30 years ago at age 12.

“It’s a full lifestyle,” he said while servicing a boat on Tuesday ahead of this year's regatta.

The Leopold shipwright and marine surveyor has competed in the Sydney to Hobart six times for one class win with an all-Geelong crew.

In 2011 he sailed across the Atlantic from Rhode Island, USA, to Cornwell, England, travelling 200 nautical miles north of where the Titanic sunk.

“The tricky part was the fog was so thick you couldn’t see the front of the boat and we were moving at speeds of 20 knots plus,” he said.

“If an obstacle had have appeared that would have been a problem.”

In 2001 Brendan sailed Lake Garda, Italy, while 14 years later eldest son Ben competed there aged 10 for the Australian junior team.

Ben, now 12, is learning to be a skipper while younger brothers Josh, 9, and Will, 5, both learn to sail.

“I’ve made a lot of friends sailing,” Ben said.

The young sailor fondly remembers passing Kangaroo Island while delivering a yacht to Adelaide last April with his dad and grandpa.

“It was amazing,” he said.

“At one point I reckon there were about 20 dolphins out the front of the boat.”

Grandad John has held every job at Royal Geelong Yacht Club during 40 years of service.

He took up the sport at Geelong Victoria Sailing Regatta in 1979 on a friend's suggestion.

YACHT FAMILY: John Garner, son Brendan and grandsons Ben ,Josh and Will prepare for the Festival of Sails. (Rebecca Hosking) 176968 “It sort of kept me sane,” the 69-year-old said.

“You get out there on the water and forget about everything that’s happening at work and at home on land.”

John has sailed to Devonport and New Caledonia and competed in a World Fireball World Championships in France in 1990.

He and Brendan still hold the record for the Melbourne to Port Fairy race, which they set in the 1980s, he said.

The family’s seafaring heritage stretched back even further, John revealed.

“My great grandfather, William Garner, was captain of a ship.

“It skipped my grandfather and father but my dad loved the sea.”

The family buried his dad on a hill overlooking Point Richards Channel, near Portarlington.

“Every time we sail past the start of the channel we wave and say hello pa,” John said.

Night watch nets natives Authorities have saved native animals from an illegal net after an overnight surveillance operation at Lara, according to Victoria’s fisheries department The 8.8-metre fish trap held a freshwater turtle and other natives when it was recovered from Lara Lake last week, said the department’s Ian Parks.

A tip off to fisheries’ 13FISH hotline led to the surveillance operation, Mr Parks said.

Fisheries officers responded immediately but were initially unable to locate the net, he said.

“Surveillance of the area commenced and continued through the night and into the following day.”

The officers found the trap the following afternoon before returning to the lake all the captured animals “thankfully” alive, Mr Parks said.

Fisheries officers interviewed a suspected offender the night after finding the trap, Mr Parks said.

He warned that using illegal nets was a “serious offence” with penalties up to $31,000 and prohibitions from fishing.

TRAPPED: Native aquatic animals inside the illegal net.

“I’m a very competitive person and I like to win footy games.”

But he still had his taste for coastal living.

“My family’s down in Torquay, so (my wife and I are) looking around at the moment.”

Ablett said his body was feeling great despite his injury-plagued run with the Suns.

“I’m just going to be smarter in the way I go about things.”

Ablett looked forward to bolstering the Cats' already dangerous midfield, mentoring the club’s rookies and spending time up forward.

Cats fans would have high expectations given that Gary Ablett Snr kicked 100 goals three seasons in row after returning from retirement.

“He’s told me about that a few times,” Ablett laughed.

By Luke Voogt Truck drivers honked their horns this week as Gary Ablett admired a sign beside Geelong's bypass welcoming him home.

Ablett chuckled at the truckies and admitted his teammates had given him a bit of stick over the attention he had received since returning from Queensland.

“That’s all part of the fun,” he said at Villawood's 'Welcome Home Gaz' sign on Tuesday.

“They got it all up pretty quickly.”.

Ablett was “stoked” to be home with family and back at the club he grew up supporting.

“I can pick up the phone and I’m only a three-minute drive from where my mum’s living.

“My dad’s back in Geelong, which is great.”

Ablett admitted losing enjoyment of football at times since moving to the Gold Coast

A company responsible for a “fire risk” rubbish pile at Lara has appealed clean-up orders, according to the state’s environmental watchdog.

C&D Recycling and authorities remained locked in legal battle at Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) this week as the region headed into another fire-danger weekend, a statement from the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) revealed.

The EPA exposed the stand-off after fining C&D $7929 for stockpiling excess waste at the company’s Broderick Rd site.

Water bombers drenched flames at the premises a fortnight ago despite authorities warning since November that the pile, in some places around nine metres high, was a fire risk and a public safety threat.

City Hall and the EPA have both sought a clean-up of C&D’s site but the company’s VCAT appeal has stalled progress.

City Hall initially secured VCAT interim enforcement orders “requiring that the duty holder immediately cease accepting any kind of waste at the premises,” said the EPA’s Carolyn Francis said.

“EPA had also issued the site with a statutory notice that required it to cease accepting waste until it can display that it can be compliant with the Victorian Government’s interim waste management policy, introduced in the wake of the Coolaroo fire in Melbourne.

“Unfortunately, the duty holder has appealed this notice to VCAT, which means that we need to wait until VCAT makes a determination before the requirements come into effect.

“EPA will continue to work with council and others to ensure the duty holder acts to reduce the fire risk posed by the site.”

The $7929 penalty was for depositing additional construction and demolition waste beyond a permitted on-site area, Ms Francis said.

The excess waste, measuring around 5000 cubic metres, included timber, plastics, metal polystyrene and plasterboard.

“This is an offence under the Environment Protection Act 1970, which is why EPA has issued C&D Recycling with a fine of $7929,” Ms Francis said.

She labelled the “inappropriate stockpiling” an “unacceptable fire risk”.

“EPA, Country Fire Authority (CFA) and City of Greater Geelong Council have been working together for some time to ensure the Lara site has effective fire prevention and control arrangements. (The) fine is just one step in that process.

“EPA has been very clear with the duty holder on how this site needs to be managed and will continue to work with council and others to ensure the duty holder meets its obligations.”

In the wake of last year’s SMK fire the State Government set up a taskforce targeting waste recovery sites and also “strengthened” the EPA with a policy to improve safety standards at the facilities.

The taskforce had so far conducted 88 inspections on 73 sites and issued 37 statutory notices, the EPA said.

GENERAL EVENT TRAFFIC ADVICE Latrobe Terrace (Princes Hwy) in Geelong and the Geelong Ring Road will remain open at all times during the weekend to ensure north/south traffic movements though the City of Greater Geelong are maintained. Rolling road closures will be used to stage the elite races.

If you are travelling along or across the course as a rolling road closure comes through: •

•

You will be stopped by the lead police vehicle and asked to park in a safe area on the side of the road. You will have to wait for the race to pass through; once the race has passed the police tail car will inform you that it is safe to move on. Please be aware that there may be some tail riders still on the road.

It is estimated that you will have to wait for no longer than 15-20 minutes.

times, so please look for any advisory signage situated on the event course prior to parking your vehicle.

Emergency access is a priority and will always take precedence over the event.

Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times during the event via existing footpaths.

Where roads are closed for short periods, access across roads will be via marshalled course crossing points. Due to the large volume of cyclists on the roads during the event you should take extra care when crossing the roads the course travels along.

Residents and businesses located on the course roads have been sent detailed advice regarding access arrangements during the event. If you are located on the course roads and have not received the advice, call the event traffic help line on 0411 811 374.

The rolling road closure will be supported by some fixed road closures to assist in keeping the course roads free of traffic when the race is coming through.

Public transport timetables have been altered across the weekend to avoid the course roads, this includes buses and V-Line. Revised public transport timetables are available from www.ptv.vic.gov.au/events

Temporary changed traffic conditions will be implemented in Geelong, Barwon Heads and Torquay. All major intersections will remain open, other than when the race passes by. For a full listing of road closures refer to the table on the next page or visit www.cadelevansgreatoceanroadrace.com.au or visit www.eventsgeelong.com.au

Disabled Parking permit parking for persons with a disability is available in the car park located at 100 Brougham Street. From Australia Day on Friday 26 to Sunday 28 January. Access to the disabled car parks is from Bellerine Street into Brougham Street.

BUCKETS & BOUQUETS

I can’t believe that Vic Roads would even consider putting up a memorial for chickens (Geelong Indy, 19 December).

Talk about a slap in the face for people struggling to pay rego!

If VicRoads is going to waste everyone’s money it should instead waste it on giving pensioners cheaper rego.

The fools at VicRoads considering the chicken memorial need to have another think and maybe then they will realise it is just plain stupidity Greg Lucas East Geelong

Bouquets to V/Line staff in Geelong, South Geelong and Footscray for helping reunite me with my almost-new wedge-heel shoes after I left them on a train. They travelled further than I did, and all without a Myki! They were back in Geelong for collection the same day.

Cinderella, Geelong West Buckets to electricity and gas company Sumo. It already charges pensioners who pay monthly $2.36 for printed bills but in February the price will rise to $3.10 plus an extra $2 for paying at Australia Post. That’s an extra $10.20 monthly for gas and electricity bills.

Ex-Customer, Geelong

Dump down the road I write regarding a story headlined ‘Dumpers reach new lows’ (Geelong Indy, 12 January), about people maliciously or at least carelessly leaving items outside the new fence of North Geelong’s Salvos store rather than dropping them during opening hours.

I’m sure it frustrates adjacent businesses but blaming the fence was short-sighted.

They could instead focus on the perpetrators rather than the group attempting to repurpose used items for the benefit of others but instead having to deal with the discarded items.

The environmental impact was also not mentioned.

The story could have used the opportunity to inform the public that Geelong Resource Recovery Centre, only 1.2km from the Salvos, accepts a lot of unwanted items for free and others for a small fee.

“Too often we see old TVs, lawnmowers, fridges and cardboard dumped on the side of the road. But all of these things can be dropped off for free at our resource recovery centres,” says Guy Wilson-Browne on City of Greater Geelong’s website.

D Dunn Geelong West

MP's hate speech at Green I write to repudiate comments in Simon Ramsay’s letter attacking councillor Sarah Mansfield (Geelong Indy, 19 January).

While I accept that Mr Ramsay and others are free to question Greens policies, which include debate on Australia Day, I found both the tone of his letter and the personalisation of his attack objectionable.

To say Cr Mansfield was made to “comply with the ugly demands of Greens leader Richard Di Natale” was both incorrect and ugly.

Further, to judge her for not attending each and every civic event also showed arrogance and ignorance of the other demands on not just Cr Mansfield’s but all our lives. As is well-known, the role of councillor is not a full-time occupation.

As a fellow member of the Greens and an acquaintance if not friend of both Cr Mansfield and Mr Di Natale, I found Mr Ramsay’s overbearing, bullying stance an extension of the hate directed at particularly Greens female political representatives.

With death and other threats directed at Member for Northcote Lydia Clark, we do not need Mr Ramsay’s extensions in Geelong.

Indeed, the politics of hate need to stop David Jefferson Geelong

Great day for the true-blue Here in Anglesea on Australia Day it is wonderful to look out and see our local people with visitors who have come to our fair town, all gathered together on the riverbank to celebrate what is good about being Australian, what is good for our country, and what is good for all our people.

And what is good about it is that we know that a multitude of other groups, just like ours, are out together on this day celebrating in various ways the true-blue values of Australian citizenship and the togetherness that we wish to preserve and enjoy into the future.

Advance Australia fair!

Australian Labor Party’s Jack, Geelong West the facts continue to become more apparent, into indigene genocide.

We can’t change any of the downside, yet in times of nebulous governance both Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and opposition leader Bill Shorten, along with the grounded voice of Alice Springs Councillor Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, support retention of the date.

Of course, much remains to be done to reinvigorate and redress indigene intervention.

Addressing ongoing violence against females and alcohol and substance abuse remain an unfulfilled national obligation.

Having said that and coming from a penal colony base, Australia still provides the best safety net in the world. Young indigenes who excel academically, culturally and at sport are provided every opportunity, via governance, sports scholarships, mentioning notfor-profit schools and other organisations, to achieve their potential.

Nation building’s an ongoing process and a tough gig.

Those seeking to divide us on wrongs that can’t be righted, on brutal injustices and sacrifices, should rethink their un-Australian values while devouring the privileges of the day.

Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Greens right on devisive day I am so pleased the Greens have taken up the debate to find an alternative date for our national day.

It’s about time, given this year marks the 80th anniversary of respected Aboriginal activist William Cooper calling for 26 January to be a day of mourning.

In 1788 Australia had hundreds of separate indigenous nations, each with their own customs, laws and languages. They had been here for at least 40,000 years.

On Anzac Day we say lest we forget. Well the arrival of the British on this continent meant dispossession, massacres, genocide, the stolen generations and ongoing intergenerational trauma still to this day, yet some people say, ’Get over it’!

Can we ever become a united nation while we have a national day that is so divisive?

I personally hope an Australia Day can be chosen to celebrate a long overdue treaty with our First Nations people.

The councillors should announce that, as democratically elected, caring and ratepayerfunded politicians, they will fight tooth and nail for Dr Stekelenberg’s request. I challenge them to demand that their State Labor Government masters acquiesce to his request.

The councillors don’t need a futurist or consultants for this one, they just need to do it.

It’s a chance to go into bat on something that really matters to our whole community rather than just the footy-centred, powerwielding, funding-gobbling elite!

Alas, being cynical I hear the oinks of flying-pig squadrons above that symbol of local government ineptitude and gross misspending, City Hall, as they unload upon it their porcine fertiliser.

Which, considering the tonnes of bovine fertiliser that have emanated from that ivory tower for decades, might be seen by many as poetic justice.

Bad teeth bite fluoride crowd Dental services funding has reportedly been slashed by $30 million but dental health in greater Geelong was well below the state average in 2016.

Can fluoridation’s promoters, including our local politicians, admit greater Geelong’s dental crisis despite their promises in 2008/2009 that tooth decay would reduce up to 60 cent after fluoridation began?

When will they be made accountable for pushing the spin that fluoridation reduces tooth decay?

They use selective information to say that one of the most dangerous chemicals known to mankind is in fact a magical solution for tooth decay.

Hydrofluorosilicic acid, or fluoride, is industrial waste from the fertiliser industry that can be responsible for a large number of health ailments.

Dog’s life too costly The high cost of veterinary services has had

Email: editorial@geelongindependent.com.au 78 Moorabool St, Geelong, 3220 Fax: 5249 6799 an unfortunate consequence for a pet owned by a now elderly friend of mine: it’s death.

She simply could not afford to pay the thousands of dollars demanded by vets to treat her dog’s various medical problems.

Not wanting to see her companion of eight years suffer unnecessarily and not having the financial resources to pay for its treatment, she had no other option than to put down the love of her life.

AI on the brain The subject of artificial intelligence (AI) features regularly in news bulletins seemingly without debate on its repercussions.

I do not want someone like Elon Musk coming to my country and telling me how my life will be.

Mr Musk, for a start, has allegedly made much of his money from government handouts. Some of his gizmos just don’t work, either.

More to the point is that corporations and companies dictate how life will be for us without our say on technologies to be introduced.

All sorts of alleged boffins are crawling out of the woodwork and espousing the wonders of AI but I do not see Devil’s advocate attempting to debunk the myths and fallacies with an argument for public consent to AI’s introduction.

Major changes to the way we live should be via the consent of the people, whether by referendum or some other means.

Corporations should not be able to come along and impose anything on the people without their consent or some sort of contractual arrangement.

I do not want my brain reprogrammed by someone in a lab coat, by Elon Musk or anyone else.

I do not want how I am to live to be dictated by a private company.

Let the debate begin, formally.

Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

Get real on world’s poor As another new year has just arrived we should consider the estimated one billion plus children living in poverty and the 27 per cent of people in developing nations who are underweight and stunted.

Many people in developing nations do not have access to jobs, affordable electricity, housing or running water. Many families live amid unhealthy conditions, such as open wooden fires in small, cramped living areas.

However, many investment funds refuse to invest in fossil fuels and instead invest in renewable energy. Such a strategy could have unintended consequences.

It is immoral to deprive developing nations of funds to develop cheap, reliable baseload power provide by coal, gas and oil. Renewables just don’t cut it.

If developed nations want to help lift the world’s poor out of poverty then we cannot deny them access to safe, reliable and abundant fossil-fuel power.

For a fraction of the money wasted on attempting to ameliorate the effects of alleged climate change we could virtually eliminate, poverty, homelessness, malnutrition and many diseases that afflict millions with death and misery.

It’s not a question of money, it comes down to priorities.

Humanity should concentrate on real problems facing real people right now.

Alan Barron Grovedale

Surely we agree on fuel Regardless of its cause, I cannot think anyone denies climate change is happening and that sending more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere does not help.

Surely using fossil fuels will only exacerbate the problem regardless of the fact they are running out.

If we perfect replacement power sources before this happens it must surely be the sensible and most cost-effective way of doing so rather than waiting until we have no alternative.

Festival hunt on peninsula

By Justin Flynn

LOCALS: RAK'T will hit the Sphinx on the Australia Day long weekend.

RAK’T up at Sphinx

By Justin Flynn Slowly building a fan base with regular gigs, local band RAK’T will play the Sphinx Hotel this long weekend.

The five-piece Geelong band formed only last year but lead singer Krystle Stosic said she wanted RAK’T to get even bigger.

“I guess we have been playing in this current format since last year,” she told the Indy.

“It’s taken off from there. We dabbled a bit in different line ups for a number of years.

“It’s still quite fresh at the moment. We just want to build a fan base at the moment and get it out there.

“We’ll see what the year brings but we’re booked out for the first half and we’re more than open to branching out on the Surf Coast.

The main objective this year is to get experience and a really good following.”

Stosic described RAK’T a a versatile band that played songs from the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s.

“It’s a really fun night and we’ll try and put some millennium songs out there as well to attract younger punters,” she said.

“It’s mostly songs from the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s - everyone just knows the words.

“We like to play stuff you don’t always hear from other bands per se. Our audience is always very supportive.”

The band name comprises initials of each members’ names, although with five band members and four letters it isn’t immediately apparent how that works.

“The apostrophe is for one of the band member’s names - Jess - we tried to make it look like a J,” Stosic explained.

“RAK’T when said out loud means noise so it kind of went from there.”

RAK’T plays the Sphinx on 27 January.

“If anyone wants a good night, come see our gigs and see what we can do,” Stosic said.

“Give us a go and experience a really fun night.”

Treasure hunters have been busy searching shops on the northern Bellarine Peninsula as part of it's annual Festival of Glass.

The festival’s popular treasure hunt sends people on a journey through businesses at Portarlington, Drysdale, Clifton Springs and Curlewis in search of items to stamp off on a map.

Hunters who find 10 items can enter a draw, to be announced at the festival on 18 February.

With more than 150 prizes worth more than $4000, the hunt was earning plenty of interest from all age groups, said Portarlington store owner Sandi Hillman.

“The kids get a real buzz out of it,” she said.

“You can have a lot of fun with the kids while they’re doing it, saying ‘hot’, ‘hotter’, ‘colder’, ‘cold’ as they search for the treasure.”

Treasure Hunt coordinator Diane Schofield said the event benefited everyone.

“There’s been great excitement all round,” she said.

“We see it as a four-way win for everyone - the businesses get more customers, the artists get recognition, the festival itself gets publicity and the public is in the running to win great prizes.”

The treasure hunt is in its third year while the festival will enter its eighth.

“There’s been a lot of excitement about it from the first day,” Ms Schofield said.

The Festival of Glasskick offs with Twilight Flames at Leura Park Estate on 17 February, featuring Venetian glass master Mauro Vianello showcasing his skill from 7pm to 9.30pm.

The expo is on 18 February in Drysdale with more than 40 glass artists, and awards, exhibitions and classes.

Rods rock in

By Luke Voogt

DYNAMIC DUO: Carol Taweel and Paul Hogan will be bringing their Burt Bacharach show to the Sphinx.

Duo with hits of Bacharach

By Justin Flynn

STYLISH RIDE: Ian Scott cruises down Hesse Street during last year's Queenscliff Rod Run. and joy.

“You buy all the bits and pieces and you put it all together like a jigsaw puzzle,” he said.

Fellow Geelong Street Rodders member Adrian Cooper also developed a passion for hot rods early on.

“I went to the street rod nationals in 1979 with a friend,” the 58-year-old said.

“When the event came to Geelong I got involved.

“I went and bought one that was registered and on the road in 98, and I’ve been with the club ever since.”

The Former Alcoa worker from Newcomb was looking forward to driving his 1944 Ford coupe with his daughter.

“She’s just got her full licence, so she’ll be keen to drive a hot rod no doubt,” he said.

Adrian loves travelling across the country with the Geelong Street Rodders.

“I’ve got friends all across Australia going to different rod runs.”

The Queenscliff Rod Run cruises into the town on 2 February and runs for two days, with an exhibition at Princess Park on the Sunday.

Fans of the legendary Burt Bacharach are in for a treat.

Crooner Paul Hogan and sidekick Carol Taweel will perform all of Bacharach’s top hits at the Sphinx Hotel next Wednesday.

Hogan, who also does a Robbie Williams tribute show and enjoys singing Michael Bubl¨¦ songs, is quite the Mr Versatile.

“It’s a bit to do with my musical theatre degree - there comes moments that you’re singing rock and then you’re doing swing the very next moment,” Hogan told the Indy.

Unlike his Robbie Williams tribute show, Hogan and Taweel just perform Bacharach’s songs.

“We sing the songs - I don’t pretend that I’m Burt Bacharach,” Hogan says.

“You get around 70% of Burt Bacharach songs that were originally sung by females.”

That’s where Taweel comes in.

She sings the hits from the likes of Dione Warwick, Cilla Black and Dusty Springfield.

The onstage chemistry between Hogan and Taweel is evident.

“She’s just very laid back,” Hogan says.

“She’s very professional, but casual and she’s certainly no diva. She’s the real deal.”

Hogan has performed at the Sphinx many times and even relates to a time when he asked Geelong Cats star Patrick Dangerfield’s grandmother for a selfie.

“She’s asked ‘why do you want a photo with me? I’m not Patrick’,” he says.

“I told her that she was responsible in some way of making him, so she was eventually very happy to oblige.”

Hogan is a self-confessed Cats fan.

“Maybe that’s why they like me down in Geelong,” he laughs.

Geelong’s hottest rods and classic cars will rock Queenscliff in the region’s annual showcase of mechanical beauties next weekend.

It’s the sixth Queenscliff Rod Run for Leopold’s Ian Scott, who can’t wait to cruise down Hesse Street in his 1932 two-door Ford sedan.

“It’s a bit like the Bonnie and Clyde cars,” the 64-year-old said.

Up to 700 entrants will take to the town’s main street in their shiny hot rods from 7.30pm to 10pm in show’s parade on 3 February.

“They run up and down the road all night and the streets are full of people,” Ian said.

The Queensliff Rod Run is one of the biggest events of its type in Victoria and “pours” money into town, Ian said.

“It’s going to be the biggest ever this year.“ The show would raise about $40,000, which would go to the Lions Club, Scouts, local sporting clubs and cancer support groups, he said.

“It brings a hell of a lot of money into the town.

“The people in Queenscliff are really excited that it’s happening. All the caravan parks and rentals are booked out.”

Ian bought his first hot rod 37 years ago but traded it in two years later for a hatchback after the birth of his first son.

“The guy offered a deal I couldn’t refuse so I took it,” he said.

“My wife got a surprise that I sold it.”

He restarted the hobby after his wife passed away eight years ago.

“She would have loved it,” he said. “Now that the family’s gone I’ve gotten back into it - I had the money and I was able to do it.”

The former sales rep and factory manager spent about a year building his latest V8 pride

FOCUS ON … COURSES AND CAREERS

Loft hosts ‘arts community’

Master Plumbers trainer Barry Gittins is keen to teach Geelong's next gneration of plumbers.

Masters plumbing campus Master Plumbers will train Geelong's next generation of plumbers this year following the opening of the Plumbing Industry Climate Action Centre's (PICAC) Geelong campus at Breakwater.

The Association plans to run its preapprenticeship course at Breakwater starting in March after seven years of producing skilled pre-apprentices and apprentices at its Brunswick campus.

According to Alexandra Mannell, General Manager Training and Industry Development at Master Plumbers, "We are looking forward to continuing the delivery of our quality training courses in Geelong and producing the next crop of plumbing apprentices."

The 13-week, full-time pre-apprenticeship course focuses on skill development, industry knowledge and workplace exposure, including a work placement component which offers on-the-job experience. This sets the preapprenticeship apart from other courses.

Completing the pre-apprenticeship course gives learners the skills to hit the ground running making them more attractive to potential employers when they finish," Alex says.

Premier Daniel Andrews opened the PICAC Geelong campus at Breakwater in November 2016 to help meet the high demand for plumbers in the Geelong region. During 2017, PICAC, in conjunction with its industry partners Master Plumbers and the Plumbing and Pipe Trades Employees Union (PPTEU), ran a variety of post trade courses with industry experts imparting their experience and know-how to plumbers from Geelong.

"With a skill shortage in this trade sector across Australia and Victoria, we are keen to offer plumbing training to young people and career changers in the Geelong area," Alexandra says.

"Plumbing is an exciting, hands-on trade that offers great career opportunities across the industry and a means of making a very comfortable living."

Master Plumbers would also like to get the local industry involved at the centre and is looking for employers in the Geelong area who are able to offer pre-apprentices a work placement of one day a week.

Please contact Master Plumbers on 9356 8902 for more information about the Geelong pre-apprenticeship.

Act Now!

The Loft Dance and Yoga Studio - at the old woollen mills in Rutland Street, Newtown was one of the first businesses to set up in the area and is now a thriving arts community.

In that time, The Loft has grown to offer more than 24 movement classes per week, specialising in classes for adult movers. Classes include classical ballet, contemporary, Barre, yoga, stretch, Retro Workout and Move Pilates.

Students love the variety of classes on offer and the studio’s holistic mind-body approach.

Teachers focus on developing good movement fundamentals and enjoy equipping students with strong technique training and functionality. The studio offers adult movers the chance to do more than just work out - it provides a unique combination of specialist movement skills with mindful practises.

And it seems the local community agrees.

Last year, The Loft took home the People’s Choice Award at the 2016 ANZ Geelong Small Business Awards. In another win, business

owner and lead teacher, Lyndel Quick won the ‘2016 Studio Teacher Award’ at the Australian Independent Dance Teachers Awards.

The Loft recently launched an exciting Barre Teacher Training Course, the only one of its kind in Geelong.

Barre is a fitness-style workout incorporating basic ballet exercises, pilates and body conditioning.

The course is perfect for dance, pilates or yoga teachers or fitness trainers wanting to branch out and incorporate Barre into their repertoire.

The 50-hour course gives students the necessary understanding of barre principles, techniques and teaching methodology.

The training includes studio classes, selfstudy, face to face contact hours delivered over four weeks with professional instructors.

On road to job driving taxis Cab drivers are never short on variety, according to Geelong Taxi Network chief executive officer Peter Valentine.

“You might be picking up a politician, a sportsperson or one of our regulars,” he says.

“It changes from job to job - it’s all about meeting and greeting people and not knowing who the next person is going to be or where they want to go.”

Geelong Taxi Network is searching for new drivers for its conventional and wheelchairaccessible fleets.

“We could be looking for anyone from a bank manager to an ex-Ford vehicle employee,” Peter says.

“We are certainly short of female drivers who love the job and display a special caring nature to their passengers.”

Driving cabs is perfect for people looking for full time work or a job with flexible hours, who have an interest in providing excellent customer service, Peter says.

“We want drivers who are courteous, mindful and alert “.

New drivers can feel good about helping aged, frail and disabled customers through the network’s Gold Care service.

Geelong Taxi Network provides all the training for new drivers, including customer service training and the regulations they have to comply with.

“You’re in an industry that’s supportive,” Peter says.

Those looking to go one step further can train as an operator and learn the ins and outs of the business.

“They’re basically getting training to become self-employed as a small business,” Peter says.

Geelong Taxi Network has been around since the 1930s and has weathered recent challenges to the industry.

“What is clear now is that the taxi industry is still very strong,” Peter says.

Right moves Established in 1995, The Dance Company operates under the guidance of qualified, experienced and friendly teachers.

Big plans for 2018

By Christine Couzens, Member For Geelong Happy new year!

It’s shaping up to be an exciting 2018 for Geelong. This year we will see the Andrews Government commitment to education with the completion of Geelong High School rebuild and the state-of-the-art Tech School at the Gordon TAFE open ready for the 2019 school year.

Other education commitments to upgrade schools will commence with Matthew Flinders Girls Secondary College, Ashby Primary School, Newtown Primary School, Chilwell Primary School, Geelong East Primary School, Oberon

Primary School and the rebuild of Whittington Primary School.

My focus on jobs will continue with many projects being undertaken across the region. We will welcome the opening of the new WorkSafe building and welcome the new jobs. There will also be significant job opportunities created with the commencement of the Westgate tunnel.

There are lots of exciting community projects such as Transition Streets. This is an initiative which brings neighbours together to explore ways of reducing their environmental impact while building a more connected neighbour-

hood. The aim is to make homes and even streets more energy efficient, less resource dependent, more self-reliant with food, less wasteful, healthier, safer and a more enjoyable place to live.

There is already a number of groups operating successfully across Geelong. Transition Streets has also become a great social opportunity for those people who have had limited community engagement.

For more information, contact Transition Streets on mobile 0414 789 613 or email transitionstreetsgeelong@gmail.com There is always more to do, I will continue

Christine Couzens to advocate for Geelong and I look forward to a great 2018.

Summit lifts state future Funeral Directors Alyson Burchell and Simone Saunders of Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Service at the new office in Torquay.

Growth creates coast office Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Service is set to mark another exciting company milestone with the opening of a new office on the Surf Coast.

With its ability to provide products and services for a culturally diverse community, Tuckers has evolved as an industry leader in the region.

As Tuckers area manager Vicki Callow explained, adapting to an ever-changing environment has allowed the company to grow alongside their community.

“We are excited to see our long-term plans taking shape,” Mrs Callow said.

“For us, Torquay has always been the perfect location to serve families residing on the Surf Coast,” An internal refurbishment of the office, at 2/16 Walker St, Torquay, behind Stoop, has given Tuckers a strong presence with easy access and a relaxed feel.

Mrs Callow explained that through caring for families throughout the region as well as

supporting a wide range of service clubs and community groups Tuckers have a strong connection with the Surf Coast community, “Our new location means we can be more responsive to bereaved families in the region,” Mrs Callow said.

“This location will be a resource centre for the community in helping residents better understand funeral and bereavement care.”

Local Torquay resident and funeral director Simone Saunders will be hosting an open day for the community at the new office on 1 March.

“I am looking forward to opening our doors for an informal chat, this way people can ask any questions they have about funeral care,” Ms Saunders said.

Over the past 135 years, Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Service has continued to provide high quality, innovative funeral services to local families.

For more information phone 5217 0795 or visit tuckers.com.au.

On 23 November more than 100 of Victoria’s business leaders gathered at Parliament House, Melbourne, to discuss and explore Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (VCCI) key recommendations to keep Victoria competitive into 2018 and beyond.

Together with Melbourne Chamber of Commerce executive director Dianne Smith, Victorian chamber chief executive Mark Stone presented and discussed 26 priority policy recommendations, out of a total of 125 identified by the chamber, as key to Victoria’s continued success.

The 2017 Victoria Summit recommendations were developed by business for business, following a series of workshops held across Victoria. They focus on the actions needed to overcome Victoria’s energy challenges, accelerate small business and jobs growth, strengthen Victoria’s liveability and meet the diverse needs of Victoria’s growing regions.

Keynote addresses from Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and opposition leader Matthew Guy outlined their priorities for Victorian business ahead of the 2018 state election.

Mr Andrews announced that by the time the Metro Tunnel was completed in 2026 construction would be well underway on an airport rail link, a priority infrastructure project for the Victorian chamber.

Mr Andrews described the summit as “an important event” and “an opportunity for both sides of the political debate and the spectrum to share their plans for Victoria”.

Premier Daniel Andrews addresses the VCCI Summit.

He commended the chamber for its willingness to engage with the Andrews Government.

“So many of the things we have done in these last three years have come from the relationship, the partnership, we have with the chamber,” he said.

The Victorian chamber was delighted by the strong turnout from members and guests, including representatives from a range of business sectors, Melbourne Chamber of Commerce, Victoria Tourism Industry Council, Victorian chamber alliance partners and local government leaders.

Sporty cousin has the moves

By Ewan Kennedy The BMW 2 Series range is closely related to the 1 Series, but comprises the sportier models, the coupe and convertible. There’s also a station wagon, the Active Tourer, though in the complex world of BMW this wagon is more 1 Series than 2.

Anyhow, our test vehicle this week was the pick of the bunch, the hotrod BMW M240i coupe. We have always loved the BMW straight-six engines and this latest 3.0-litre turbo-petrol produces 250 kW of power and a great 500 Nm. At $76,510 it’s reasonably well priced for the class and to our way of thinking the sportiest.

For the 2018 season the 2 Series coupe range received a mild facelift and tail tuck, and a redesign of the alloy wheels. Very BMW at the front, with kidney-grille flanked by stylish headlights, the latter are now adaptive LED units.

The roof at the rear is slightly higher than we like when viewed in profile. We feel sorry for the guys and guys who are styling small cars as they have the conflicting needs of having a sleek rear end while also providing reasonable headroom in the back seat. See the Driving section of this review for more on the latter.

At 8.8 inches the screen is clear and easy to read. However, it’s wide and shallow and when you’re using BMW Professional satellite navigation the distance in front of the car on the screen is rather short.

Control is by the latest version of BMW’s iDrive. The use of conventional buttons to access many day-to-day functions, particularly in the audio departments is appreciated.

BMW ConnectedDrive Lifestyle is standard across the complete 2 Series range. It accesses

For 2018, the BMW M240i coupe has received a facelift and tail tuck, as well as a redesign of the 18-inch alloy wheels. internet and BMW Concierge Services; and provides real time traffic information. Google local search and send-to-car functions are part of the impressive technology package.

Entertainment is by way of an excellent Harman/Kardon 12-speaker system.

The BMW 3.0-litre turbo-petrol produces 250 kW of power, and a great 500 Nm from 1520 to 4500 rpm.

Drive is to the rear wheels and the M240i comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed manual can be ordered as

a no-cost option. All BMWs do everything they can to avoid a crash, and provide maximum protection should a major event still arise.

The excellent BMW emergency call function can help save your life if you have a crash, because the car will automatically call the BMW control centre call for help. Someone from the control centre will then try to call you on the phone. If you don’t respond information will be passed to the emergency service people.

The front seats are sporty without being overly aggressive in the way they hold you.

However, even tighter seats would be nice if

you really want to drive hard. Getting into the back seats isn’t too difficult considering the size of the car. There’s not a lot of space back there and adults will have to juggle legroom front to rear. Headroom is better than you would expect, but try before you buy just in case.

The BMW straight-six sounds great when worked hard, indeed even when just pottering along and is very BMW in the way it reacts to driver inputs. It teams well with the automatic and seems to sense what the driver wants to do virtually all the time. Sport and Sport+ were the settings we opted for almost exclusively.

These add even more throttle control and are sure to bring a smile to the face of all keen drivers.

Naturally, we took ‘our’ M240i for a bit of a fang on some of our favourite roads behind the Gold Coast. Handling is simply brilliant with huge grip, excellent feedback through the steering wheel and the seat of your pants.

Being smaller and lighter the BMW 2 Series is even more enjoyable to punt along than its bigger brothers - and that’s saying something. The folks at Bavarian Motor Works have always specialised in sporty machines and being a topline model the 240i is simply delicious to work in.

Run flat tyres are better than they have been in previous BMWs but there’s still work to be done before you would call them as good as conventional units.

In real life driving the engine showed itself to be very efficient and in normal driving we had no trouble in running between six and seven litres per hundred on motorways. It went up to nine to eleven litres around town.

BMW’s latest M240i coupe is small, nimble and packed with power. One of the best in its class, if not the best in my opinion.

New Merc is tough enough

By Ewan Kennedy The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is the real deal.

Forget SUVs, SAVs, SATs, crossovers, soft roaders and a variety of other vehicles people buy because they want to be seen at the wheel of a Tough, or should that be Tuff? vehicle.

The Merc G-Class is in a lightly populated class of large, serious, ladder-frame working vehicles. The current model dates back to the late 1970s, with several updates in the meantime so a new model is long overdue - and is on its way.

Mercedes is gradually passing information to the media, including details of recent heavy-duty testing on the Schockl test route on a mountain near the Austrian city of Graz.

The 5.6 km route includes gradients of up to 60 percent and lateral inclinations of up to 40 percent.

Well aware that new G-Class will attract everyday drivers as well as though aiming to use it in tough conditions, both MercedesBenz G and Mercedes-AMG are involved in the design.

The new G-Class has a ladder-type frame, three 100-percent differential locks and Low Range off-road ratio.

Independent suspension with doublewishbone front axle and a rigid rear axle are used. The components of the front axle are directly fixed to the ladder-type frame without a suspension subframe. The rear axle is guided with four longitudinal control arms on each side and a Panhard rod.

High ground clearance and long suspension travel offer off-road characteristics of the G-Class that we are told are even better than in the outgoing G. Ground clearance between the axles is 241 millimetres, plus 6 millimetres maximum

Big, square and with a no-nonsense attitude, the latest Mercedes G-Class - shown in its prerelease camouflage - is the real deal. fording depth now 700 mm in water and mud passages. Angle of departure is 30 degrees, angle of approach, 31degrees, and breakover angle is 26 degrees.

The big wagon changes to G-Mode independently of the chosen drive program as soon as one of the three diff locks has been activated or Low Range has been engaged. This off-road mode adapts the adjustable damping of the chassis and the steering as well as the

accelerator characteristic, avoids unnecessary gearshifts and ensures maximum off-road capability.

The Mercedes 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission with torque converter was specifically adapted to meet the needs of new GClass. The new transfer case is flange-mounted directly on to the auto. It is adjusted in such a way that 40 percent of the drive torque reaches the front axle and 60 percent reaches the rear

axle. Permanent all-wheel drive ensures maximum traction.

Interestingly it is possible to switch from Low Range to High Range at speeds of up to 70 km/h. The gear ratio of the transfer case is 2.93 and thus significantly shorter than in the predecessor model (2.1).

Prices and full specs for Australian G-Class models have yet to be published, nor has an introduction date been set. Stay tuned.

Cats and Ringwood in battle for eighth Local Cricket, by Jim Timberlake Geelong Cricket Club has narrowly maintained its position in the top eight despite going down to Camberwell last Saturday.

The match, initially scheduled to be a twoday game before rain interrupted the first days play, was started again as a one-day fixture.

The Magpies batted first and compiled a very healthy 9/270 from their 50 overs.

For the Cats, Luke Guest (4/77) and Brenton McDonald (4/29) were clearly the pick of the bowlers.

In reply, Tim Ludeman (1) fell early but a series of decent partnerships had Geelong looking like a real chance, with Eamonn Vines (61) and Josh McDonald (44) doing their bit with the stick.

But as the innings wore on the run rate climbed and in the end it was all too much as the side fell 17 runs short.

Tomorrow sees another two-day game commence, with the Cats hosting Ringwood, which sits ninth on the ladder, meaning this game could be telling in the race for finals action come March.

North Geelong might just be in front in its game against Grovedale in Geelong Cricket Association, although it still has a lot of work ahead to take the points.

Grovedale won the toss and batted last week, looking well set as openers Anthony Quarrell (25) and Michael Kelson (29) put on 43 for the first wicket.

Jim Timberlake

From there though the strong North Geelong bowling attack went to work, taking the final 10 wickets for just 92 runs, which included a 25-run last wicket partnership for a final score of 135.

Tom Mathieson (6/52) was the star of the day, while Shaun Kingwell (3/22) provided valuable back up.

Grovedale had eight overs late on day one to make amends and did just that, picking up two quick wickets to see the Magpies go to stumps at 2/13.

While the Tigers will be happy that they go into tomorrow a big chance, North Geelong still has plenty of firepower in the sheds and, with just 122 further runs required, should still be good enough to get the job done and retain top spot on the ladder.

In the other important game in division one, Geelong City will be confident with its very competitive 235 tomorrow against Lara.

Ross Elliott (75) top scored in a fine display of batting but just as crucial was the 50 runs put on for the last two wickets.

As always, Andy Hughes will hold the key in the Cats’ run chase. If he can find a couple of solid partners to back him up then this game could well go down to the wire.

In division two, Marshall has a big fight on its hands against Newcomb & District having posted a meagre 164 all out.

Stan Grazotis (46) continued his impressive form for the Bears but Blake Ritchie (5/41) was clearly the player of the day for the Dinos.

Newcomb & District managed to knock 21 runs off their target although it did lose opener Kayne Henry for a duck early. However, with just 146 more runs required, a big upset not only looks on the cards but highly likely.

And in division three, some incredible results sees this topsy-turvy season continue.

Modewarre looked in all sorts of trouble early when it was dismissed for just 102 by St Albans Breakwater but bounced back to be in a dominant position, with the Saints 8/64 at stumps.

Meanwhile, Alexander Thomson piled on 368 against Guild Saints.

If those two games go as expected then the race for the last couple of spots in the top four is well and truly alive, a scenario that seemed unlikely a few weeks ago.

REPEAT WIN: Todd Rosewall surfs to victory in the opening round of the Victorian Open Series. (Liam Robertson) 176939

Rosewall tames surf for back-to-back win Jan Juc's Todd Rosewall has gone back-to-back on the Mornington Peninsula claiming the opening round of the Victorian Open Series twice in two years.

Coming off winning the state title in 2017, Rosewall continued his strong form into the opening event, dominating his heats in challenging conditions.

"I have been coming to the Mornington Peninsula for so long now, I feel like I am starting to figure it out a bit," Rosewall said.

"I'm stoked to win here again, hopefully I can continue it into the next event."

Rosewall started with an excellent ride in the final, but took until the final three minutes to clinch first place with his second wave.

Fellow local Cahill Bell-Warren led for the majority of the heat before Rosewall leapfrogged him into first.

Torquay's Finn Barry placed third while Jan Juc grommet Indi White made his first open division final by placing fourth.

Friday, 26 January, 2018

Jan Juc junior surfer and last year's Victorian champ Bella Wilson placed second to Cape Woolamai's Sophie Fletcher.

The teenager was unable snare a back-toback win of her own, finishing four points short of Fletcher's final score of 11.67.

Fellow Jan Juc grommets Rikki Bell-Warren and Angela Ball took out third and fourth.

The Victorian Open Series heads to Phillip Island on 3 March.

Fast fishing on doorstep ON THE BITE Chris Pitman Anglers found exceptional fishing for pinkie snapper, flathead and King George whiting right on our doorstep last week.

Corio Bay held each species in great numbers, with the edge of the Stingaree Bay spoil grounds a hot spot for the whiting.

Flicking soft plastics around the waterfront was a safe for pinkies and flathead. The odd large pike was a bycatch, some reaching an impressive 80cm.

Clifton Springs’ grass beds in 3m to 4m attracted anglers seeking squid. Size three artificial jigs in white colourations did best, with few of the squid monsters but available in big numbers.

The odd snapper was still lurking around the Point Richards channel, with anglers who could use fish finders well achieving the best results.

Swan Bay’s channel was a ball on the run-in tide, with anglers catching a mixed bag of silver trevally, pinkies and some impressive sized flathead.

Either soft plastics or bait worked well, although Gulp turtleback worms were a standout.

Queenscliff was still kingfish central, with many anglers putting in hours fishing The Rip. Kings to 8kg were boated on fresh or live squid rigged heavy enough to get down to the desired depth.

Large schools of Australian salmon kept anglers busy when the kingfish were off the bite. Salmon to 3kg were reported taking lures intended for kingfish.

Bell Reef was a squid hot spot on low tides. Anglers casting larger artificial jigs banked some of the biggest specimens.

Offshore, kingfish were taken on the troll out from Ocean Grove although mostly in smaller sizes than their Rip counterparts. White occy skirts rigged with a squid strip did the damage offshore.

Gummy sharks were an option in 30m when the kings were absent.

Trelly’s Geelong’s Adam Van Der Lugt and Andrew Dellaca spent Sunday fishing the Hopkins River for bream. They had little trouble catching fish to almost 40cm on soft plastics.

Lake Bullen Merri really fired up for Chinook salmon, as Kevin Hunter, John Brynt and I discovered.

We had only boated one of average size when we decided to instead try anchoring up and setting out a strong berley trail of pilchard cubes. After a hour or so the salmon came on the bite, with all of us landing fish around 60cm.

Michael Evans also had some ripper sessions on the lake, with salmon over 60cm taking his baits & lures.

Next door, Lake Purrumbete still held good fishing for brown and rainbow trout on mudeye suspended under a float.

Barwon River around Queen’s Park was superb fishing for redfin and carp.

Casting small hard-body lures did the trick on the redfin, while the big carp took corn kernels on light running sinker rigs.

Next week’s forecast fine weather should allow fishing for kingfish off Ocean Grove. Freshwater fishos should head west for the Chinook salmon at Lake Bullen Merri. geelongindy.com.au

How to Improve Your Hearing in 30 days People who can hear and engage with their friends and loved ones live better and healthier lives. It is also known that people who treat their hearing loss by getting hearing devices overwhelmingly agree that they have made an incredible difference in their lives.

Here’s 7 reasons how hearing devices can help: 1. Improve brain function by slowing down cognitive decline Studies have linked untreated hearing loss to an increased risk of developing dementia and reduced cognitive functioning.

2. Reduce the effects of Tinnitus Wearing professionally-fit hearing devices to correct hearing loss can reduce the annoyance and stress of tinnitus for many with hearing loss.

3. Anticipate your needs and adapt automatically New hearing devices continuously remember and learn what situations you need to hear better in. So, in a few weeks they will have learned your personal hearing preferences and automatically adjust.

4. Improve your safety You can hear warning signs that help you stay safe, such as a smoke alarm or car horn.

5. Improve personal relationships Without the important sense of hearing, you can often miss out on conversations. Regular hearing device use will help you rejoin these conversations and continue to enjoy social interations.

6. Boost your self confidence Hearing devices help people feel more in control of their lives. They can feel more motivated to participate in the activities they love and social engagements became more stimulating and rewarding.

7. Connect to other devices The latest hearing aid technology uses Bluetooth to transform your hearing aids into wireless stereo earbuds. They give you the freedom to interact with all of your devices, so you can stream a phone call, listen to iTunes or stream Netflix from your Tv or tablet.
