CULTURAL PROGRAM: MP Christine Couzens with Belmont kinder kids and Japanese students Minami and Daisy.

Turning Japanese

By Natalee Kerr Geelong kinder kids are learning foreign languages as part of a Victorianfirst program.

The program officially launched in Geelong yesterday at Belmont’s Alexander Thomson Pre-School, one of nine participating kinders across greater Geelong.

More than 60 children at the Belmont pre-school are learning Japanese for two hours weekly under the State Government program.

Foreign lingos for kindy kids Kindergarten coordinator Kate McNamara said early childhood was the “prime time” to learn another language.

“At this age kids have a great ability to learn new things,” she said.

“They’re like little sponges. They take in everything, whereas as we get older our capacity to learn is greatly reduced.”

The kinder’s four-year-olds had so far “really enjoyed” learning Japanese through play including board games, books and songs, Ms McNamara said.

“It helps develop their understanding about the world around them while also supporting their language development.”

The program had received

“strong support” from parents since beginning almost two months ago, Ms McNamara said.

“Initially parents were a little bit curious as to why the kids would be learning Japanese but once you explain it to them they can really understand the benefits for their children.”

Geelong MP Christine Couzens

visited the pre-school for the program’s official launch.

The “important” initiative would help strengthen Geelong’s “multicultural community”, she said.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for kids to increase their cultural awareness.”

The $17.9 million program covers 160 Victorian kindergartens, with children learning a range of international languages including Italian and Arabic.

HELLO, DOLLY: Rosemary Stewart prepares for Geelong Doll, Teddy and Craft Show. 194496 Picture: REBECCA HOSKING

Quota change for doll show 1205608-PB45-15

4 Gordon Avenue, Geelong West Phone 5229 8605 www.geelongfurniturebydesign.com.au

Organisers expect 400 craft enthusiasts from around the state to flock to an annual Doll, Teddy and Craft Show when it returns to Geelong this month.

The year’s show would move to a new venue for the first time, relocating from Geelong West Town Hall to Belmont’s Masonic Centre, the organisers said.

The event would feature more than 40 stalls of dolls, teddies, handcrafted jewellery, cards and ceramics and other craft items, along with a "doll doctor" on site for repairs and valuations.

Quota International Geelong president Rosemary Stewart said she was thrilled to bring the show back for the 27th year.

“The stall holders, including both regular and new exhibitors, are all very excited about the new venue,” she said.

All proceeds from the day would support the Andrew Love Cancer Centre’s Wellness Lounge.

“We’re very pleased to be supporting the Andrew Love Cancer. They're a fantastic charity who help so many people,” Ms Stewart said.

The centre provides support, care and community for cancer patients and their families in the Geelong region.

Quota International Geelong has raised more than $130,000 for local charities including Cottage by the Sea and Headspace since the show began, the organisers said.

Quota will host the show at the Regent St lodge from 10am to 5pm on 22 June.

An ice-fuelled rampage in Geelong’s public emergency department (ED) last week has prompted union calls for additional drug and alcohol (AOD) specialists.

A single AOD specialist worked in Geelong’s ED overnight, Health and Community Services Union assistant secretary Paul Healey revealed.

“There’s just not the staffing,’ he said.

“It’s very distressing for others in the waiting room and it’s very unsettling for staff to work in an environment with violence or the potential for violence.”

The ED needed at least two specialists overnight as some assessments and treatments could take several hours, Mr Healey said.

More than one drug-affected patient presenting at once could create a backlog, he said.

“We don’t believe anyone should fall through the system cracks and be sent away untreated.”

Mr Healey praised State Government’s plans to build a mental health emergency hub at University Hospital Geelong by 2021 but urged the government to bring forward funding for more AOD specialists now.

Barwon Health rostered one AOD specialist to work in ED overnight, mental health, drugs and alcohol services director Steve Moylan confirmed.

But other specialist staff, including consultant psychiatrists, were available to assist when required, Assoc Prof Moylan said.

“Barwon Health has highly-skilled and experienced mental health professionals providing 24/7 support at University Hospital Geelong’s ED.” Two to four AOD specialists worked in the ED during the day and evening, Assoc Prof Moylan said.

IN BRIEF Twins found Police have found twin 13-year-old sisters from Corio who went missing for a week.

Police thanked the community for its assistance yesterday after social media users reported numerous sightings of the girls when their images and a call to help find them appeared on Facebook this week.

Big Cat opens up on latest labour of love Cats star Tom Hawkins says he would have missed a game to attend his daughter’s birth but a fanatical Geelong fan helped him avoid making the big call.

Big Tom speaks about the arrival of second daughter Primrose Grace in the winter edition of Geelong Coast Kids.

“If (wife) Emma went into labour on game day I would definitely have missed and been at the birth. However, our obstetrician was a Geelong supporter and didn’t want me to miss a game, so he induced Emma,” Hawkins reveals.

Geelong Coast Kids is being delivered now to pick for free from more than 400 family-friendly outlets across the Geelong region, including retail outlets, kinders and schools.

Taking flight Geelong commuters could begin catching flying Uber taxis to airports within the next five to 10 years, according to authorities.

Uber unveiled plans for the service from shopping centre roofs this week, with an air safety official later confirming on ABC radio that authorities were working with the company on achieving various compliances.

Lara upgrade Upgraded main-oval change-rooms and a new 2.4km running track feature in draft council plans to upgrade Lara’s 18-hectare recreation reserve.

City Hall posted the plan on its website this week for public comment, noting that the proposed improvements would require a funding “partnership” between council, higher levels of government, peak sport bodies and tenant clubs.

Second cruiser A second cruise ship has added Geelong to its itinerary for 2019/2020, according to the vessel’s tour operator.

Cruise & Maritime Voyages said new ship Vasco da Gama would visit Geelong in December, with the announcement following concerns reported in the Indy last month of declining numbers of cruises visiting the city since a high of nine in 2014.

Speed bust

OUT NOW: The new Geelong Coast Kids.

Police have impounded the car of a 19-yearold caught driving 70km/h over the speed limit in an 80km/h zone at Curlewis.

The teenager’s interception on Sunday morning was one of 140 offences detected during a long weekend blitz in the region, with police also catching four drivers on drugs and three over the blood-alcohol limit.

POST MATCH: Tom Hawkins with wife Emma and daughter Arabella.

Storages filling The region’s water storages are set to continue filling after more rain bands swept the region over the past week.

Barwon Water measured storage levels up half a per cent to 35.6 per cent of capacity after 32mm in the seven days to Wednesday, with further rain on the day likely to push the total higher over the next week.

‘Robust’ review of City Hall allegations

Bullying claims fail

By Luke Voogt A “robust“ review process has rejected three bullying complaints at City Hall as “unsubstantiated”, a leaked email has revealed.

Chief executive officer Martin Cutter's email to councillors said all three complaints from former staff underwent “robust internal processes supporting stamping out bullying”.

“Entirely independent” third-party investigators who interviewed the complainants and witnesses ruled that each claim was “not substantiated”, Mr Cutter said.

Geelong’s council attempted “restoring working relationships” with the individuals but they “resigned instead”, he said.

Mr Cutter yesterday announced a review of

council’s workplace procedures, in place since State Government sacked Geelong’s council in 2016, citing bullying.

“It is vital that we hear directly from our employees as well as the community, and the review will encourage this,” Mr Cutter said.

Workplace issues were “not unusual” in any organisation with 2700 staff, he said.

Mr Cutter cited privacy issues when declining to identify the total number of bullying complaints at City Hall since 2016 but in the email he described the “list” as “long”.

Australian Services Union's Lisa Darmanin accused City Hall of sweeping bullying “under the carpet" and expressed “very serious concerns” about its culture.

“The CEO is more-concerned with the rep-

utation of the organisation than stamping out bullying and providing a safe workplace,” she said.

Council had “been unwilling” to reveal the number of bullying claims staff had made over recent years, she said.

“The union has received a number of complaints about bullying that the victims were too scared to bring to (council) for fear of reprisal.”

Councillor Kylie Grzybek said council had failed to communicate its “robust” processes for resolving bullying complaints to its workforce and the public.

“The unions are very rightly saying there are issues but I don’t think they’re widespread or endemic. Given (council’s) history, we’re obviously sensitive to these types of claims.”

Mayor adds holiday to trip

By Luke Voogt

ITALIAN JOB: Mayor Bruce Harwood.

Geelong Mayor Bruce Harwood has added two weeks of holidays to an international conference in Italy, with ratepayers footing the bill for his flights.

Council in February approved Mr Harwood and economic development manager Tim Ellis to attend UNESCO Creative Cities Network’s annual meeting from 10 to 15 June at an estimated total cost of $10,000.

But on 28 May Mr Harwood advised council he would take leave from 6 to 9 June and 16 to 27 June.

Council paid for Mr Harwood’s flight to Italy on 6 June and his return flight to Melbourne on

26 June, a spokesperson confirmed yesterday.

Council also paid for Mr Harwood’s accommodation between 9 and 13 June, the spokesperson said.

Mr Harwood faces pressure to secure an international forum for Geelong on council’s latest “junket”, according to Ratepayers Geelong.

In February he identified Geelong hosting a UNESCO event as a primary aim of the trip, with the delegation hoping to secure a City of Design meeting for 2021.

But Ratepayers Geelong’s Andrew Senia described the goal as “wishful thinking”.

“It’s a waste of ratepayers’ money,” Mr Senia said.

“He’s got to show some results, doesn’t he. I

GOR flaw, says parks group

By Natalee Kerr "Flawed” plans for a single authority to manage Great Ocean Road public land have "alarmed" a conservation group.

Victorian National Parks Association’s Phil Ingamells labelled State Government’s proposed changes as an “institutional land grab”.

“Giving the new authority management responsibility for our national parks is institutional overreach,” he said.

State Government wants to establish a dedicated authority to simplify previous management arrangements. The Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority would control all public land across the region, including national parks which are currently under 11 different managers.

Mr Ingamells said the proposed management would be a “waste of resources” because “roughly 80 per cent of the road” was already national park.

“It's a completely unnecessary duplication of park management skills and expertise, and sets a dangerous precedent for park management across the rest of Victoria,” he said.

But management reform project director Jason Borg said the proposed changes had “strong support”.

“Conversations with 780 people and 570 online submissions highlighted that a new management model and greater environmental protections are required,” he said.

Parks Victoria would maintain responsibility for “broad acre parks management”, Mr Borg said.

“The authority will work in partnership with Parks Victoria to ensure that national parks continue to be managed effectively into the future.”

Detailed roles and responsibilities of the authority would be determined in the next few months, Mr Borg said.

hope he keeps a diary of what he does and who he talks to.

“That diary should be open to scrutiny when he gets back, including Ratepayers Geelong.”

Mr Harwood and Mr Ellis attended the event as an "obligation" of Geelong’s UNESCO City of Design designation, said council investment director Brett Luxford.

Geelong’s council joined the 180-city network in 2017.

Mr Ellis would give a presentation at the forum outlining Geelong’s “clever and creative vision” and how it is “stimulating innovation”.

The Indy was unable to contact Cr Harwood for comment.

Library flash

WANTED: The man police want to question.

A flasher in black leggings exposed himself to a “victim” at Geelong Library, police said yesterday.

The 183cm-tall male also had his hair in a man-bun when he allegedly exposed himself on the second floor of the library at 6.08pm on 29 May, police said.

Investigators released an image of the man this week with a call for public help to find him. They accused him of “wilfull and obscene exposure“.

Police described him also as Caucasian, with brown hair and dark areas under his eyes. He was also wearing a black jacket with a Fox label on the back, a beige hoodies underneath, and work boots.

Police asked anyone with information to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with reference number 63-2018/2019.

‘False hope’ on fast time BIRD-BRAINED ADVENTURE: Renee Treml enjoys her latest book with son Calvin. 194552 Picture: REBECCA HOSKING.

Son spurs mum’s kid books

By Luke Voogt Torquay’s Renee Treml has a secret expert to help her write children’s books: nine-year-old son Calvin.

“He’s the target age group,” Renee told the Indy after releasing her latest book.

“He gives me lots of opinions, ideas and suggestions - whether I want them or not.

“He’s really proud of the fact I write books and he always takes them to school when I publish a new one.”

The US expat's new novel, Sherlock Bones, follows the imagined antics of tawny frogmouth skeletons she saw at Queensland Museum.

“They’re in normal bird poses but because

they’re just skeletons they look really silly,” she said.

“I found them intriguing and started thinking of them getting up to mischief at night.”

The former zoology teacher, who moved to Torquay with husband,Calvin and their dog in 2017, said her seven books were based on the “quirky, affectionate” personalities of baby birds and turtles.

But Calvin had inspired her next novel's main character, who thought his name was ‘nivlac’ after seeing it in reverse on a window, she said.

“That was just from him and I joking about.

“You can kind of get ideas for books anywhere.”

urban planners, transport and rail experts, of

Geelong’s council has raised "false hope" with a report suggesting fast trains could operate between the city and Melbourne within five to seven years, according to a public transport advocate.

“I think council jumped the gun. They’re raising an expectation that would seem impossible to meet,” said Public Transport Users Association Geelong convenor Paul Westcott.

“It’s good to see council uniting and trying to improve rail services but it’s a remarkably optimistic timeframe they’ve set.”

The Stronger, Together report proposes a 200km/h rail network connecting Melbourne to regional cities such as Geelong and Ballarat.

Funding for the project would come from the $10 billion allocated to the Melbourne airport rail link, the report said. Eight trains an hour could run during peak periods on the Geelong line, the report stated, with express services reaching Melbourne in 35 minutes.

Mr Westcott labelled the proposed plan a “significant amount funding for a fairly modest improvement”.

“VLocity trains currently operate at a top speed of 160km/h, so it’s a lot of money to spend on what is a relatively small increase in speed,” he said.

Mr Westcott also raised concerns for plans to fully-electrify the line.

“They’re proposing the line should be electrified but we don’t have a single electric train that could run at the moment,” he said.

Mr Westcott accused the report, which drew on more than a year of research from

“Reliability, frequency and capacity are the big issues Geelong commuters are facing and spending all that money in theory wouldn’t solve those problems,” he said.

“None of those things will be delivered by a train that goes 40kms faster.”

But deputy mayor Peter Murrihy said the benefits of moving to an electrified fast rail network were “enormous”.

“Increased speed, capacity, frequency and connectivity between cities, airports and towns will transform the way people move and live in Victoria,” he said.

City Hall has put the plan on the council's website for public feedback until 31 July.

‘Invasion’ story rewritten Academic’s book on ‘Wadawurrung perspective’

By Natalee Kerr An academic has rewritten the history of Geelong’s white “invasion” from the perspective of local Wadawurrung aborigines in the 1800s.

Dr Fred Cahir said his book, My Country All Gone - The White Men Have Stolen It, was unique for presenting the indigenous side of Australia’s colonialisation.

The book presented Wadawurrung accounts and opinions taken from “the invaders’ own words, journals, diaries and letters”, the Federation University Associate Professor said.

He expected the book to “challenge” some

readers.

“The Wadawurrung community indicated to me that they wanted to rewrite their version of what happened rather than a white historian point of view,” Dr Cahir told the Geelong Indy.

“It talks about the Wadawurrung’s attempts to survive the frontier war and at the same time thrive in a new society forced upon them.”

Dr Cahir said his book was only “one of a handful” in Australia to document “Aboriginal national invasion stories” rather than white accounts of settlement.

The book documented Wadawurrung trag-

edies and losses in their dealings with early new Australians but also recounted “surprising” relationships between local aborigines and the “white spirit people”, Dr Cahir said.

“Quite a lot of friendly and very meaningful relationships did occur,” he said.

“It’s a history that provides fine brush strokes of a wider changing frontier that was violent in nature but had, surprisingly, some instances of cross cultural engagement.”

Dr Cahir said anyone wanting a copy of the book should contact him at the university in Ballarat.

OUT: Dr Fred Cahir with copies of My Country All Gone - The White Men Have Stolen It.

Rotary club does its blocks for a $20,000 welfare boost

DID THEIR BLOCKS: Volunteers celebrate the success of Queenscliffe Bricks 2019.

An annual fundraiser built on toy bricks has gathered $20,000 for local welfare activities.

Organisers said Rotary Club of Queenscliffe would split proceeds from last weekend’s Queenscliffe Bricks between disaster relief organisation ShelterBox, Barwon Health’s volunteer patient transport service and Rotary’s End Polio Now initiative.

The event featured a variety of exhibitions and competitions featuring items created from LEGO, with the organisers praising this year’s participation levels as “just wow”.

“We were blown away by the community involvement in Queenscliffe Bricks 2019,” said the club’s Karen Pecar.

“Over 3100 LEGO enthusiasts enjoyed the wide range of exhibits, play areas and masterclasses. This year 34 exhibitors from as far away as Tasmania and Mount Gambier brought exhibits ranging from LEGO puzzles, Star Wars to ski fields, bugs to books, dresses to dragons and everything in between.”

Ten-year-old Thomas McGregor’s Custom Chevy C10 with a “very cute” dog in the back won the event’s Future LEGO Master Builder competition, while Adam Matthews and Tom Winter’s Incident City Queenscliff took out both the People’s Choice and Exhibitors’ Choice Awards.

KEEP WALKING: Order of Australia Medalist John Olsen with the specially-equipped cart that has helped him trek three different routes across Australia.

Long walker on ‘last leg’

By Luke Voogt

Friday, 14 June, 2019

John Olsen has walked 20,000km to fight leukodystrophy and plans to walk 5000 more after becoming one of 12 Geelong Queen’s Birthday honour recipients.

The Belmont resident is planning his fourth and “final” trek across Australia from Cape Londonderry to Cape Howe in 2022 having already raised $210,000 in past walks.

“This will be the shortest walk I’ve done,” the 67-year-old said.

“There’s one more diagonal out there waiting and I don’t want to be in the nursing home wishing I had done it.

“Initially I said, ‘I’ll wait until I’m 70 and see how I’m doing.’ But now I’ve got my new knee in that’s working great I’ve made my decision already.”

John celebrated the medal with family and friends at home on Sunday.

“For a person that doesn’t party very often it was pretty full on,” he said.

Lifelong friend Brian Edwards nominated John for the award but he had no idea despite his “pretty well-honed bulls..t meter”.

Fellow Order of Australia Medal recipient Sister Julie Thomas, who has leukodystrophy and helps others with the degenerative brain disease, seconded that nomination.

“She never let on either,” John said.

“She’s a bit of a living saint in my eyes - she knew my late partner quite well.”

John began walking across Australia for kids with cerebral palsy and his partner Vida Brazionis, who in 2014 lost her battle with leukodystrophy.

Vida, not wanting to burden John with her care, broke up with him in 2003 before his first walk from Cape York to Tasmania, he revealed.

“She had actually nursed her younger

brother through the same illness, so she knew what was ahead.”

But they got back together after the monthslong walk and John eventually became her carer.

“I’d fallen madly in love with her and I think she realised I was fair dinkum and wouldn’t give up,” John said.

John has pulled his specially-equipped walking cart across sand dunes and through Aboriginal communities while growing a “long white beard“.

“They have great respect for anyone over the age of 60 and I well-and-truly fit that bill!”

He even survived a run-in with a territorial camel on his second walk in 2008/2009.

“I hadn’t had a wash for 33 days and I probably smelt like a camel myself, so it tried to have a go at me,” he said.

“I became an instant legend among my grandsons.“ He limped through the latter part of his third walk from Cape York to Western Australia’s Cape Leeuwin with a bad knee and hiatal hernia in 2017.

John then told the Indy the walk would be his last, before a successful knee operation in 2018 changed his mind.

He hopes his new OAM will help raise him raise even more money for Australian Lions Children’s Mobility Foundation and Leukodystrophy Australia.

John found his himself in honourable company on Monday with fellow Geelong OAM recipients Alwyn Blackwell, Frank De Rosso, Clare Gray, Peter Maishman, Patti Manolis, Elizabeth North, Robert Flynn, Paul Smart, Lynden Smith and Tony Strahan.

Auction rate ‘going, gone’ Housing talk City Hall will host an “expert panel” next week while drawing up plans for helping an estimated 11,000 local households needing help to keep roofs over their heads.

Representatives from Aboriginal, charity, municipal and not-for-profit organisations would lead the discussion at Let’s Talk About Social House next Thursday, City Hall announced this week.

“In planning for the City’s social housing needs of the future, we have been talking to users and providers of social housing and housing developers,” said City community life director Robyn Stevens.

“This forum, as part of The City Presents series, provides an opportunity to have a conversation about social housing with the whole community. I encourage people to come along, listen to our expert panel and ask questions.

"As a compassionate community, we’re all interested in how we can work towards everyone having secure, affordable, long-term housing that is suitable for their needs.

City Hall said bookings for the free talk were open at geelongaustralia.com.au/news.

Geelong also had the third-highest sale price, with a three-bedroom home selling at auction in April for $1.45 million.

INFORMATION: Ninedots' Marc Logan, Rebecca Hall and Steve Hal.

Event ‘supporting’ sleep-out Geelong’s homeless will benefit from an information night on building homes next week, according to its host.

Local building advisory company Ninedots Consulting said Building New - The Foundations for Success would “support” Geelong CEO Sleepout, which raises money for the St Vincent de Paul Society’s work with the city’s homeless.

The sleep-out challenges local business leaders, senior public servants and welfare agency figures from around the Geelong region to spend a night under the stars at Kardinia Park.

Each participant secures sponsors for their sleep-out, providing an annual funding boost for St Vinnies in Geelong.

Next week’s information night would be a “raw, unpolished, one-time event” to help guests “embark upon the new-build journey,” Ninedots said.

“Learn what to expect, what to consider and what to avoid to allow for a seamless build.”

Ninedots said “build expert” Rebecca Hall would feature at the event alongside presenters from Aussie Home Loans, Jovic Accounting, Maxwell Collins Real Estate, Financial Freedom by Design, Sargeants Conveyanding and landscaper Brian McLeod.

Each $33 ticket would come with a complementary gift big of items worth more than $600, the company said.

The event would be at Runway Federal Mills, Mackey St, North Geelong, on Wednesday night.

Ninedots asked anyone wanting tickets to phone 1300 993 683 or to book online at Eventbrite.com.au.

The Geelong Indy and sister publication Geelong Coast New Homes & Lands are sponsors of the event.

Geelong suburbs have topped regional Victoria for auction rates so far this year despite a 36 per cent decline in vendors putting properties under the hammer, according to an industry body.

Belmont hosted the most auctions, with its 64 the same number as at this time in 2018, said the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV).

Highton and Geelong West were second and third respectively but mirrored the regional decline in auction rates, the REIV said Highton had 37 auctions compared to 58 in 2018, while Geelong West hosted 35 compared to 45.

Geelong’s traditionally most-affluent suburb, Newtown, had 24 auction so far in 2019 but 43 by the same time in 2018.

Torquay auctions were also down, with the REIV recording 32 so far this year compared to 54 in 2018.

Lara bucked the trend, with 22 auctions compared to 10 by the same time last year. East Geelong was up one auction, 19 to 18.

“Low market confidence” and uncertainty over the recent federal election were “most likely” behind the 36 per cent decline in regional Victorian auctions, the REIV said.

However, the REIV expected better times ahead.

“The REIV is starting to see a pick up in the auction market, which we expect to continue as the property market picks up toward the end of the year,” the institute said.

Geelong topped auction sale prices for regional Victoria so far in 2019 with the $2.38 million sale of a waterfront home, the REIV said.

Glass made into concrete Local research ‘breakthrough’ Waurn Ponds researchers have found a way to use previously-unrecyclable glass as a substitute for sand in a common type of concrete.

The Deakin School of Engineering researchers ground recycled or waste glass for use in polymer concrete, a material common in industrial flooring.

Senior engineering lecturer Riyadh AlAmeri said adding ground glass resulted in a stronger product that was less costly to produce.

“Mined sand requires washing and grading before it is added to aggregate, cement and water to make concrete,” Dr Al-Ameri explained.

“Concrete is a major construction material and sand is one of its primary components, so finding an alternative to sand makes good economic sense.

The Deakin research could be a gamechanger in the production of polymer concrete and, potentially, other concretes, Dr Al-Ameri said.

“Any changes that reduce the cost of production will lead to significant gains across the industry, potentially on a global scale.

“The construction industry represents six per cent of global gross domestic product, according to the World Economic Forum.“ Substituting glass for sand created a sustainable use for a major recyclable in Australia’s waste stream, Dr Al-Ameri said.

In the next stage of analysis Deakin researchers would examine substitutes for aggregate in polymer concrete, optimise the substitution rate, assess durability and investigate commercialisation, Dr Al-Ameri said.

Polymer concrete uses polymers, typically

CONCRETE FINDINGS: Orca Civil Products director Alan Travers, Deakin University engineering student Dikshit Modgil and Deakin senior engineering lecturer Riyadh Al-Ameri have found a new way to use recycled glass.

Picture: DONNA SQUIRES resins, to replace lime-type cements as a binder.

This produces a high-strength, water-resistant material suited to industrial flooring in areas subject to heavy traffic like service stations, forklift operating areas and airports.

Deakin engineering student Dikshit Modgil

worked with Melbourne-based Orca Civil Products as part of his masters research into using glass in polymer concrete production.

Orca director Alan Travers said the research partnership produced results that would be useful in commercialising the concept.

“The specific type of waste glass used in

this project was unsuitable for recycling back into glass and the amount that is stockpiling is becoming a community problem,” Mr Travers said.

“The concept has even more appeal to us because of predicted shortages of natural, mined sands in the medium term.”

LETTERS Cruises’ quay to Geelong Regarding cruise ships for Geelong (Geelong Indy, 10 May), why do we need to bring them into the city?

Some overseas cities, such as New Zealand’s Dunedin, use their industrial areas.

I believe it would be far cheaper to replace the wharf on the east end of Corio Quay south than to build a new pier in Geelong. Corio Quay has immediate access to a railway line, and with a little work could also have easy coach access.

It wouldn’t take much to tidy up the immediate area.

There would be less congestion than the city option and passengers would still have the option of traveling to their preferred destinations.

Trade in education

Reads would have to have been quick to see Quota Geelong’s promotional sign for the upcoming Doll Teddy & Craft Show at Belmont’s Masonic Centre on 22 June.

The sign was near the corner of Barwon Heads and Breakwater Rds but soon removed.

We had permission to place it and a few other signs around the city. It is unbelievable someone took our sign.

Our fundraising from this year’s annual show, our 27th, will go to Andrew Love Cancer Centre’s Wellness Lounge, a very worthy local cause.

The signs are a major cost to our not- forprofit service club.

We hope the sign that was removed will be returned.

One of my friends is a taxi driver with a Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) in the sciences.

What a waste of the money and time spent on his advanced education. He is unable to find employment in his area of professional expertise.

He is even unable to secure an interview for employment in the humble police force, proving that a university degree, even a post graduate degree, is no guarantee of suitable employment in 2019.

He would have been better off financially studying for a simple trade qualification, tradies being the new rich.

Michael J Gamble Belmont

Character over colour

1238631-RC32-16

In a new documentary Adam Goodes is portrayed as a victim of white racists who “booed him out of the game”.

From the time he became Australian of the year in 2014 all he could talk about was how racist whites were and how all indigenous problems were the result of white colonialism.

However, writings by colonial historians show that black-on-black massacres and extreme violence toward women were prevalent in Aboriginal society, but that has been airbrushed out of history.

The spin is that his calling-out of a 13-yearold girl who called him an ape was the trigger for all the latent racists to start booing him, but that is not true. Fans just got sick of his perpetual bagging of so-called white racists, both contemporary and historical, while as Australian of the Year he should have been representing us all.

When I see a great player like Tim Kelly on the field and the magic he weaves I don’t see him as indigenous, I just see him as a master of the game who deserves respect.

Impressed, Geelong West

Bouquets to those responsible for the maintenance of Geelong Botanic Gardens. I visited the gardens for the first time in many years recently and, although some areas needed a touch up, most of the place was in great order.

Turning the page on age

Even a little more heat means more energy for weather events.

They will get bigger, faster and hit harder.

The US has seen this with three once-a-lifetime storms in the past decade.

More evaporation means more water in the air. That is, more clouds but less rain.

And when the rains come they are heavier.

Queensland has seen this with both droughts and flooding at the same time.

Shifts in rain bands have caused failed crops in the Middle East.

Long-running wars get worse and millions of people migrate into Europe.

Imagine the monsoon band shifting and hundreds of millions of Indians trying to escape famine.

All these and more were predicted by models of the climate, which include anthropogenic climate change. They are happening now, with real effects on real people, which are reported in the news.

Also, climate change is about more than just carbon dioxide. Carbon in the air is about more than just fossil fuels.

The problem with coal is about more than just sustainability and there are more solutions than just renewables.

Confusing all these issues shows a very simplistic view of any of them.

The best antique is an old friend, but it’s sad to see an old faithful friend ageing and taking on a yellowish complexion.

I’ve seen one of mine deteriorating for some time now.

There were wrinkles and a noticeable physical deterioration, but the mastery of language was still brilliant.

I felt that maybe I hadn’t been as kind as I should have been to such a good companion.

But I was able to atone for this when it came time for major reconstructive surgery, carried out successfully last week.

The remedy was amazingly simple.

I just pared off the scraggy bits, applied a liberal dressing of masking tape and now my dear old Thesaurus is almost as new again!

Skiers will be relieved to know that Victoria has just celebrated its snowiest opening to the skiing season in 20 years.

Ironically, it was around 20 years ago that they were being told skiiing was doomed in Australia. Even the CSIRO got in on the climate change act, warning our snow would be 95 per cent gone by the middle of the century.

Well, turns out it was just another fake scare campaign, like all the others.

Looks like it's all downhill from here for climate change alarmists!

Act FAST on stroke

Climate change is not just about a number on a graph.

Climate models provide more than predictions about a single figure for temperature or sea level.

On behalf of the Stroke Foundation, I welcome the Victorian Government’s $5.5 billion budget boost to health services, particularly its focus on emergency response and improving health infrastructure where it’s needed most.

Snow basis to fake alarm

Email: editorial@geelongindependent.com.au 78 Moorabool St, Geelong, 3220 Fax: 5249 6799 The challenge now is to ensure all Victorians know to dial triple zero at the first sign of stroke to benefit from our emergency response system and hospitals.

Stroke attacks the brain and can change lives in an instant. Stroke destroys about 1.9 million brain cells a minute but the damage can be stopped with the right treatment at the right time.

Sadly, not enough Victorians access these treatments because they are unaware of the signs of stroke and the need to urgently call an ambulance. Just 36 per cent of Victorian stroke patients arrive at hospital within the 4.5-hour time window to benefit from time-critical blood clot-dissolving treatments.

Victoria is estimated to have more than 14,000 strokes this year, and the incidence is rising. I urge the government to build on its budget investment in health with a targeted FAST community education campaign on seeking treatment for stroke quickly to improve outcomes.

I also urge the community to take the time to learn the FAST signs of stroke. The FAST test stands for: face - checking it to see whether the mouth has drooped; arms - checking whether they can be lifted; speech - checking whether it’s slurred and whether other speakers are understood; and time - 000 should be called immediately if any tests signs are evident.

Selfie-awareness for sexists A young man notices a phone group message from a friend who has sent his mates a private selfie from his girlfriend.

Uncomfortable, the young man wonders what to do. He replies: ‘Hey mate she sent that image to you, not us’.

To his surprise, his other mates agree it’s not cool.

To some this scene might seem unrealistic but a latest National Community Attitudes Survey into Violence Against Women (NCAS) data shows that many young people, including men, are bothered by behaviour like this.

However, not enough take action, and most underestimate the support they would receive from their mates if they did.

Results from the NCAS youth report show that young people’s attitudes to violence against women and gender equality is generally improving but key problem areas remain.

Many young Australians still don’t recognise controlling behaviours in relationships, like tracking their partner via their mobile phone, as a form of domestic violence or abuse. In the scenario described above, over a quarter of young Australians would blame the victim if her partner shared nude images without her consent.

This tells us we need to do more to support young people to build respectful relationships.

We also need to give young men the skills and confidence to speak up if they see sexism and abuse and to stand up to social pressures and stereotypes.

Hopefully the next NCAS survey shows we’ve all played our part in promoting respect and equality.

Ella in intimate tent show

By Luke Voogt

INTIMATE SURROUNDS: Killing Heidi frontwoman Ella Hooper brings her solo show to Spiegeltent in Johnstone Park on Sunday.

Geelong locals will get a sneak peek at Ella Hooper’s upcoming album when she comes to Spiegeltent on Sunday.

“I think I’ll pop a few new ones in,” she told the Indy on Tuesday, from her childhood home of Violet Town.

The woman best-known as lead singer of chart-topping Aussie rock band Killing Heidi was working on songs for another solo record, she revealed.

“It’s either going to be a mini album or a plain old album.”

She looked forward to again performing an intimate show in the mirrored tent, usually the domain of acrobats.

“I love it - it’s so atmospheric,” she said.

“I don’t think they’re going to give me any trapezes or circular stages to fall off though.”

Hooper has had a busy year playing solo gigs between touring with a reunited Killing Heidi and fellow rock icons The Whitlams.

“I’ve been running around a lot at the moment,” she said.

“This Spiegeltent show is in the middle of that tour.”

Hooper loved “screeching over a rock band or playing with an acoustic guitar” equally, she said.

“I know it’s a political answer but I really love doing both. If I do just the one I tend to get a bit sick of it.“ Hooper and older brother Jesse started Killing Heidi in high school and the band skyrocketed to fame in 1999.

She began her solo career in 2012 with debut single Low High after the band went on a break in 2006.

Her solo music got “darker before it got

lighter“ following that track, she said.

“But it’s much more upbeat over the last few releases.”

This year she performed her bouncy new single Data Dust, about escaping social media and technology, at the finals to represent Australia at Eurovision.

“That was a very strange experience,“ she said. “We had so much fun.”

Her current song writing felt more “adult” than playing with Killing Heidi, which re-

minded her “more how I felt when I was 16”, she said.

“My solo music is still quite rocky but perhaps a bit more indie rocky. It’s a bit more stripped back but it’s still very catchy.”

She enjoyed the intimacy of solo gigs where “anything goes”, she said.

“I never know what I’m going to say or what’s going to happen at a solo show.

“I can be a bit more spontaneous whereas in a Killing Heidi show I’m locked into to doing

a lot of the same songs.

“I come off and I’m sweaty but I’m not drenched like I am after a KH show.”

Hooper was keen to return to Geelong to play at the Spiegeltent. “(Last time) I got such a good response and vibe,” she said.

“I promise a pretty darn good show. I’m bringing two amazing musicians with me and this is the best (my solo music has) ever sounded.”

Italia debut for big band

By Luke Voogt

BRASS AND STEELE: Geelong West Brass Band and conductor Jeff Steele.

perform a ’90s boy band medley and even play recent songs like Viva La Vida.

“It’s pop stuff but in a big brass band arrangement,” Steele said.

“It’s all the great music you know and love.

Who said brass bands were just marches and hymns?”

Club Italia was perfect for the band with regular venues South Barwon Civic Centre and Geelong West Town Hall unavailable, Steele said.

“We’re trying to spread the musical love throughout the local community.”

The band members loved to entertain and looked forward to getting on their feet during the Club Italia concert on 22 June, Steele said.

“We don’t just sit down and play - the whole band gets up and entertains the crowd.

They also loved to dress up and had a few costume changes up their sleeves for the show, he said.

“I think last time I was Freddy Mercury playing trumpet. It was great fun.”

BAND MATE: Shandelle Cooke will add her vocal talents to the brand's show.

12420774-GR24-19

Geelong West Brass Band comes to Club Italia for the first time in its 128-year history this month for an extravaganza of musical classics.

The band, which traces its origins to 1891, had never played the venue despite performing across Geelong for a century, according to musical director Jeff Steele.

“This is a first for us - we’re pretty excited about it,” he told the Indy this week.

“Hopefully we’ll get some people singing and dancing in the crowd. They’ve got a beautiful wooden dance floor there.”

The band was in “top form” after returning from the Australian National Band Championships in Queensland last month, Steele said.

They placed second out of 16 bands in the national competition’s B grade, he said.

“That shows you the standard of the band.”

Shandelle Cooke, a regular performer Geelong Cats games, Carols by Candlelight and Piano Bar, will join the band with her powerful voice for the first-time event.

“She’s brilliant,” Steele said.

FINALLY FRIDAY

Audience to ‘become art’

By Natalee Kerr Anyone wanting to be a star will have their chance at an “exclusive one-off” show in Drysdale’s Potato Shed tomorrow night.

Internationally acclaimed dancer Andy Howitt said his latest innovation, Captured Art Installation, was all about turning the spectator into the art.

The Scottish-born artist has almost 40 years’ experience in the dance world, but he said his new show was one of his “risker” ideas for the stage.

“With normal shows the audience sits down, watches, claps and leaves,” Howitt said.

“But I’ve always been intrigued by how you get people to understand dance more than just sitting and watching.”

Howitt said his “off-kilter” production put “audience participation into theatre.”

“Every time I perform, teach, or choreograph I’m always trying to capture the audience in some way.

“I came to a thought: what if the audience were the show and they were the ones that performed instead.”

Howitt said the show cast the “audience as the movers” while he acted as the “outside eye”.

“Dance is so powerful, it can change your way of thinking,” he said.

“It’s a bit of an experiment to see if you can get the audience to play along with the idea, but the unknown also excites me.”

Howitt said he started dancing at the age of 15 after participating in a dance lesson at his youth club.

“After that experience I realised dance is what I wanted to do.

“I'd never danced before then but after that encounter dance became my life.”

CAPTURED: Dancer Andy Howitt will bring a "unique" immersive theatre experience to Geelong this weekend.

The Melbourne-based performer hoped his “interactive and educational” show could have a similar impact on others.

“I have this mindset of , ‘What can we do in 40 minutes that could change someone’s life?’, like it did for me.

“I want to capture the audience’s emotion

and imagination, taking them out of their comfort zone and showing it’s safe to be a bit crazy or different.

“I don’t want to set it out too much. I’m open to going with the groups ideas and seeing where it can go.”

Howitt will perform at the Potato Shed ev-

ery 45 minutes from 5pm until 8pm on Saturday.

“I’ve always felt the Geelong community are open to new ideas and it’s our job as artists to bring that to them,” he said.

“Come and give it a go - you never know you might actually enjoy it.”

LOOK GOOD, FEEL GREAT

Help to fix foot, leg pains With the cold weather well and truly upon painful joints, old injuries and arthritic conditions can certainly become more troubling and interfere with our daily activities.

But what can be done about them?

Until recently the only options have been to put up with the pain, rest for extended periods, refrain from activities, resort to medications or in severe cases undergo surgery.

But now, thanks to the latest research and advances in medical science, along with experts such as those at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Melbourne and Geelong, lower limb pain

could be a thing of the past.

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics have developed a clinically proven system to assist people with common musculoskeletal and degenerative conditions such as: foot, ankle, knee and hip pain, injuries new and old, tissue degeneration, arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis and other soft tissue conditions.

By combining the latest natural regenerative treatments, with load management strategies, targeted strengthening and conditioning and nutritional advice, the clinics have been able to help patients to alleviate pain, improve

Preventive dentistry is the practice of caring for oral health to prevent avoidable damage to teeth, gums, and the mouth.

Periodic check-ups and cleans every six months are recommended, along with X-rays every two years, to detect and prevent the beginnings of any problems so treatment can begin before serious damage occurs.

Specifically, professional cleans are able to clean much more efficiently and are able to remove what regular brushing and flossing cannot.

Ultrasonic scaling and manual scaling can remove plaque and tartar better than a toothbrush.

Dentists can use X-rays to view between teeth and teeth roots for decay or damage. Delaying treatment could mean that simple fillings turn into a problem needing a root canal and a crown or an extraction, hence the adage that dentistry isn’t expensive but neglect is.

With the Child Dental Benefit Scheme (CDBS) provided by Medicare, preventive dentistry for children aged two to 17 is now more accessible. Medicare provides $1000 every two calendar years, allowing early diagnosis and prevention for those eligible.

With CDBS children can receive important treatment to prevent further problems such as cavities as well as treatments like fissure sealants, which fill grooves in teeth that could harbour bacteria and potentially cause decay.

Norlane Dental Surgery bulk-bills for children eligible for CDBS, meaning no out-ofpocket payments for treatments including examinations, routine cleaning, fillings and root canals.

More information and appointments are available by phoning Norlane Dental on 5728 2666 or emailing at reception@norlanedental. com.au.

Choosing a preschool can be daunting for parents, but privately owned childcare centre Kids World makes the decision easy.

The family operated service blends the nurturing aspects of a boutique daycare with the opportunities typically afforded by a larger nursery.

“We’re passionate about giving children the best start to life,” owner Kieran Armstrong explains.

Kieran has worked in childcare for ten years after completing a psychology degree majoring in child development, while wife Karen has practised as a midwife and nurse for a decade.

The couple expanded Kids World to Geelong last February after the success of their Werribee business.

The Norlane centre includes six rooms, age specific programs, an on-site chef and a qualified kindergarten teacher.

Combining two different early learning philosophies, Montessori and Reggio Emilia, Kieran says Kids World provides a balanced environment.

“We mix play with structured and practical experiences,” he says.

“We hope our approach encourages children to develop a love of learning for the rest of their lives.”

Kieran says they also venture regularly out to provide new experiences for the kids.

“We run around five big excursions throughout the year, our next one is Christmas in July at Sovereign Hill,” Kieran explains.

But he insists it is not just all about the kids, with parents a focus for them, too.

“For example we keep the centre open until 10:30pm for our ‘date night’ sessions - it lets the parents enjoy some time together while we look after the kids,” Kieran says.

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr. Tony Stubbs Eye Surgeon MB BS BSc(Hons)B Med Sc MS FRANZCO

Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a checkup. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says.

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

Dr Tony Stubbs’ Collins St Practice Coates Building, Suite 2, Level 2 20 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000 Tel: +613 9650 8044 | Fax: +613 9650 8099

The Williamstown Eye Centre 120 Ferguson Street, Williamstown 3016 Victoria, Australia Tel: +613 9397 8989 | Fax: +613 9397 8984

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me.

“Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.”

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.

NEW ALLIANCE: Nissan and Renault have joined forces to make the Koleos, which takes on rivals in interior space and safety.

By Alistair Kennedy Renault Koleos is a product of the French automotive giant’s alliance with Japanese partner Nissan.

The mid-sized SUV shares its platform, engine and transmission with the popular Nissan X-Trail.

Despite similar pricing, X-Trail outsells Koleos by a ratio of about seven to one.

Koleos comes in three specification levels: Life, Zen and Intens ranging in price from $30,990 for the FWD 2.5-litre petrol Life through to $47,490 for the AWD 2.0-litre diesel Intens.

The FWD-only Life has cloth seat trim, 17inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, rainsensing wipers and reversing camera.

The mid-level Zen has the option of allwheel drive and adds artificial leather seat trim, front seat warmers, powered driver’s seat with lumbar support, 18-inch alloys, blind spot warnings, satellite navigation, push-button start/stop, tyre pressure monitoring, electronic parking brake and front parking sensors.

The range-topping Intens gets 19-inch alloys, LED headlights, panoramic sunroof, parking assistance system, auto dimming rear view mirror, ventilated front seats, powered front passenger’s seat with lumbar support and powered tailgate.

There’s an excellent list of safety features across the range including Advanced Emergency Braking System and lane departure warning.

There’s some cost-saving in the entry-level Life with an old-style ignition key and a footoperated parking brake.

All higher spec variants have push button start/stop and an electronic parking brake.

Two engines are offered, a 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol and a 2.0-litre turbo diesel.

The petrol peaks at 126kW and 226Nm at 4400rpm.

The diesel, only available in the Intens, provides marginally more power, 130kW, but significantly more torque, 380Nm, and at a much lower 2000rpm.

Despite its extra grunt the diesel’s towing capacity is 1600kg compared with 2000kg for the petrol unit.

Koleos also comes with the choice of front or all-wheel drive.

The latter gives three options: 2WD, Auto and Lock controlled by a switch on the centre console.

Koleos is a five-seater but there’s plenty of space in all directions.

The rear seats can handle three adults with geelongindy.com.au

more than enough head and legroom, although the centre seat restricts shoulder and hip-room.

There’s good storage space helped by the location of the foot-operated parking brake in the Life and the size of the powered parking brake in the other two models.

Boot space ranges from 458 litres to 1690 litres. There’s a full-size spare below the boot floor.

All models get Renault’s R-LINK 2 Multimedia system with voice control through Siri capable smartphones and customisable home screens as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The system works through a 7-inch touchscreen in Life and Zen, 8.7-inch in Intens, which has two rear-seat USB ports and one in the front console.

Entry and exit is easy and the driver’s seat is wide, supportive and comfortable.

The steering wheel is both tilt and reach adjustable.

Our test car was the relatively Spartan 2.5-litre petrol entry-level Life with its key-inignition start, foot-operated parking brake and manual front seat adjustment.

These minor annoyances aside it’s a capable enough vehicle with good, but unexciting, performance from its 126kW/226Nm engine, the latter not reaching its peak until a fairly high 4400rpm.

We found it needed a bit of coaxing to climb steepish hills and when overtaking. Fortunately there is a pre-set manual to assist the CVT. Even when pushed the cabin remained well insulated from outside noise.

Fuel consumption is listed at 8.1 litres per 100km. We averaged 9.6L/100km during our usual blend of urban, motorway and rural conditions. Expect double figures in exclusively city driving.

Suspension is a little harsh and relatively firm without making the ride uncomfortable.

Steering is light and direct.

Koleos is an attractive, capable family-sized SUV with excellent interior space and a high level of safety equipment.

It certainly doesn’t deserve to trail its market-leading competitors to the extent that it does and is well worth a comparison test drive.

The close alignment between Koleos and the big-selling Nissan X-Trail is a big plus for the French car because it should reduce possible reliability and quality concerns.

At the same Koleos offers significantly better value including a five-year unlimited km warranty as compared with Nissan’s three year/100,000 km coverage.

AAP Tyres has provided affordable, high-quality used tyres and rims to local motorists for more than a year after opening in South Geelong.

The South Geelong workshop is part of another long-running business in Laverton North, explains manager Munir Fedai.

“We sell 100 per cent roadworthy, highquality tyres,” he says.

“Some people can’t afford brand new tyres, so it helps them a lot. It’s a bit cheaper for locals.”

He and co-worker Frank carefully test and gauge each tyre to ensure they have good tread and meet quality and safety standards.

“He’s an experienced worker who has been in the industry for many years,” Munir says.

Munir has worked in the automotive industry for several years himself and he enjoys his latest job in Geelong.

“I’ve got lots of friendly regular customers including mechanics and car dealers,” he says.

AAP also specialises in used rims of any make and aftermarket rims.

“We’ve got a good variety of general wheels,” Munir says.

“You can put them on any car you want.”

The team also fit and balance tyres, do puncture repairs and sell tow bars and bull bars.

“It’s all here in one very convenient location,” Munir says.

AAP Tyres is located at 2/172 Fyans St, South Geelong, and is open 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday and 8am to 1pm on Saturday.

MOTORING

Scatenato in 20-car ‘limit’

By Ewan Kennedy

BIG NAME: The hottest Range Rover Velar yet certainly looks the part.

Pinnacle for Rover Land Rover has introduced a new limited-run model with what is perhaps the longest title ever: Range Rover Velar SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition.

Designed as the pinnacle of the Velar lineup, it has been developed by Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations and is powered by a 405kW 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine.

It does zero to 100km/h in 4.5 seconds on its way to 274km/h where conditions permit.

Calibrations for the AWD system, Active Rear Locking Differential, eight-speed trans-

mission, steering and air suspension are bespoke to the SVAutobiography.

The AWD system has been up-rated with a transfer box capable of withstanding huge loads.

There’s a new front bumper with larger air intakes to get extra air to the big blown V8 as well as cool the up-rated braking system.

A new grille and lower side mouldings combine with a revised rear bumper featuring integrated quad exhaust finishers.

Underneath is a transmission tunnel undertray to improve aerodynamics.

The SVAutobiography is the only Velar

available in Satin Byron Blue.

Other colours are Firenze Red, Santorini Black, Corris Grey, Fuji White and Indus Silver.

All feature a contrast Narvik Black roof as standard.

Inside are twin-stitched, perforated and quilted Windsor leather unique to the SVAutobiography.

Four colour combinations are offered; Ebony, Cirrus, Vintage Tan and Pimento.

There is a unique sports steering wheel with a contoured rim and aluminium gear shift paddles.

Maserati is importing just 20 of its limited edition Ghibli Scatenato to Australia.

Scatenato - Italian for unleash - is powered by the Maserati-designed, Ferrari-built twinturbo 3.0 litre V6 engine.

This puts out 350 horse power and drives the rear wheels via an eight speed automatic.

This Ghibli can get from zero to 100kmh in 5.5 seconds.

Special features on the Scatenato are 21-inch Titano forged alloy wheels and sitting inside the wheels are brake calipers in Maserati Blue.

Inside the standard seats have been upgraded to wrap-around Sports Seats upholstered in supple leather.

The front seats are heated and offer 12-way electric movement with two memory settings for the driver. The interior trim is complemented by a black piano finish.

Safety is not overlooked with the Ghibli Scatenato also including traffic sign recognition and active blind spot warning, while the active cruise control combines safety and convenience.

The Maserati Ghibli Scatenato has a recommended price of $154,990 driveaway and is on sale now.

Big ‘winter reds’ biting ON THE BITE Adam Van der Lugt

CRUCIAL: Chris Scott has praised recruit Gary Rohan's contribution to the team this year.

Scott plans end to the post-bye blues

By Natalee Kerr

THEY'RE BACK: Jovica 'John' Uzur with his 10.58kg snapper from Corio Bay's inner-harbour.

.05 BYE TROUBLES: Coach Chris Scott admitted Geelong have a "poor" post-bye record.

Picture: REBECCA HOSKING controversial score review that denied Richmond’s Jack Higgins a goal during the second quarter.

Multiple angles showed a clear goal, yet the score review deemed the ball hit the post.

The AFL admitted earlier this week it got the decision wrong, making it the third error conceded in the past fortnight.

Despite the recent backlash Scott said the

current system is “better” than the previous one.

“Lets accept as a competition mistakes will happen. To think these things are going to be perfect is naive,” he said.

“Some people talk about the lack of accountability for umpires and footballers and they compare it to their nine to five job. Give me a break - these are some of the most accountable people in the country.”

Geelong Coach Chris Scott has “forensically analysed” his team’s “poor” record post-bye ahead of their mid-season break this weekend.

“We’ve acknowledged that it has been a little bit of an issue,” Scott said. “(But) we’ve tried to make it a theme this year that when things become an issue, we don’t run away from it, we don’t pretend it’s not happening, we just face up to it.”

Geelong has lost the game immediately following a bye during the past eight home-andaway seasons, but Scott suggested the Cats have been unlucky.

“The biggest thing is we’ve played good teams most of the time, that’s the biggest takeaway,” he said.

After the bye Geelong face another tough fortnight taking on two top-eight teams, Port Adelaide and Adelaide.

The Cats further cemented their top-ofthe-ladder position with a 67-point thumping against Richmond last Friday night at the MCG. While the Tigers looked to have the edge early on, Geelong’s scoring accuracy proved the deciding factor.

From the second quarter Geelong booted 11 goals straight as Richmond failed to kick another until late in the third term.

“Even though we didn’t pound the ball inside 50 as much as we would’ve liked, when we did go in we looked a lot more dangerous,” Scott told the media after the game.

Scott described speedster Gary Rohan as a “crucial” element in the forward line.

“Our accuracy is good and has got us over the line in my view a couple of times this year.

Gary Rohan’s part of that, he’s a beautiful kick,” Scott said.

“He’s done some things this year that I haven’t seen on a footy field.”

Geelong now hold an 11-1 record, sitting in tune with their 2011 form where they last won the premiership.

But the win was overshadowed by another

All the talk over the past week has centred on the big winter snapper biting in Corio Bay. Jovica ‘John’ Uzur ventured out under the cover of dark to try his luck in the inner-harbour and was rewarded with four winter reds ranging in size from around 6kg to a whopping 10.58kg.

Anglers hoping to try their luck should fishing after dark over a tide change with very light or even unweighted rigs with baits like silver whiting, pilchard and squid strips.

King George whiting also appeared in good numbers throughout the innerharbour, especially at Stingaree Bay. Pippies on light paternoster rigs helped some anglers take a dozen or so fish pushing 40cm.

Squid were caught off over the weed beds in 3m to 5m of water off St Leonards. Size 3 to 3.5 jigs in colours like pilchard, King George whiting and plain white all worked.

Trevally were caught in the Queenscliff Harbour cut on soft plastics around slack water. The Gulp turtleback worm and Z-man grubs were productive on fish close to 50cm.

The salmon fishing along the coast was good, with fish around 1.5kg taken from rock platforms and beach gutters.

Casting 30g to 60g metal lures worked well anywhere from Moggs Creek to Marengo beach.

The Glenelg River fired at Nelson for mulloway up to 85cm. Both lures and bait worked, with Cody Carruthers catching several fish while fishing squid baits well upstream through the dark.

Other anglers also report fantastic sessions, catching mulloway, bream and estuary perch while casting lures toward the river’s edge from kayaks.
