Developers ‘seek new Creek talks’ ment would have to include a residential component. “Nothing would be less than 500 square metres,” he said. Planning Minister Matthew Guy last year rejected a bid for residential development in Spring Creek after Surf Coast’s council dumped its second strategy to open up the land. Council abandoned the plan for Spring Creek, one kilometre west from Duffields Rd, following four years of widespread objections and protests. Mr White said the landowners

wanted a “clean slate” to “seriously discuss” Spring Creek. “The landowners want to develop the land in a way that the community is supportive of.” Mr White said the owners “never contemplated” levels of development density recommended for Spring Creek in council’s controversial “2040” growth plan. “Understandably, some residents are jaded after the highly unreasonable development suggested by the shire and their report.” Speak Up For Spring Creek’s

David Bell used Facebook this week to warn residents “the one kilometre west of Duffields Rd is once again on the planning horizon.” “There is talk of land for schools, land for a pool…and other things for the community benefit,” he posted. “I believe that we must communicate with the landholder group as there may be a chance to develop something to benefit the community but we must be aware of the restrictions on this private-as-opposed-to-council-

or-government process and be aware how this sort of consultation can be used to split communities into factions.” Mr Bell said Mr White had contacted him about the new consultations. The owners were suggesting a consultation process of “feelgood things” that “might not ever happen”, Mr Bell said. “We have to be careful of what we, as residents, agree to.” “We might agree to a school now but that could mean higherdensity development later.”

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN DEVELOPERS want to build “much-needed community facilities” in Torquay’s Spring Creek, according to their spokesperson. Redstick Strategic Communications’ Tony White said the “landowners” wanted to begin discussions with residents and community groups about opening up the site for development. “We’re looking into the possibility of a school, a community centre or a public pool being built on the site.” Mr White said any develop-

Making a splash: JOH Architects’ concept images of how the wind-powered Sea Dragon would appear on Geelong’s waterfront.

‘Dragon’ wins prize for Icon

A DRAGON-LIKE water feature has won a competition to design a landmark for Geelong, organisers have announced. Icon for Geelong competition founder Andrew Senia revealed JOH Architects’ “Sea Dragon” as the winner this week. Mr Senia’s law firm, Senia Lawyers, handed over $10,000 to the winners. “With pleasure I announce JOH Architects the winner of the Icon for Geelong competition and have handed them the prize money,” Mr Senia said. “Their thoughtful and inspirational design is a tribute to our city and will be enjoyed by both the people of Geelong and our visitors for generations to come. “I look forward to working closely with JOH Architects on the second stage of the project to have the Sea Dragon constructed.” The winning design features five wind turbines powering a floating corkscrew-like structure driving an undulating wave adjacent to Steampacket Gardens. The designers said Sea Dragon would require little maintenance and could be easily towed to other sites around the bay. JOH Architects’ Christian O’Halloran said his small firm was “ecstatic”. “It’s the first competition we’ve won,” he said. “We’d never wanted to enter competitions until we had a worthwhile concept but when we reviewed the Icon for Geelong we thought we had something that works for this space.” Mr O’Halloran said JOH’s design took its name

Picture: Tommy Ritchie 79649 from the weedy sea dragon, a marine animal endemic to the Port Phillip and Corio bays area. Mr Senia also paid tribute to the other 80-plus submitters for their entries and ideas. “I thank all the other entrants for their designs and encourage them to continue their creative endeavours. Many thanks to Senia Lawyers’ co-sponsors, the Geelong Independent and Deakin University, for all their efforts. The support that they, and others, have given me is deeply appreciated.” The Icon for Geelong competition called for a unique design to help promote Geelong around the world. The competition drew praise from Geelong Mayor John Mitchell and Premier Ted Baillieu.

in brief

Parents’ ‘lost rights’ puts our kids at risk BY MICHELLE HERBISON ADOLESCENTS are falling foul of the law because parents have lost their “rights”, according to a Geelong mother. Ms L spoke to the Independent on the condition of anonymity after Geelong Police Inspector Gary Bruce last week attributed rising youth crime to some parents failing to “exercise effective control”. Ms L believed authorities could have helped save her 17-year-old daughter from addiction to the drug ice if they had acted earlier. Ms L said she was taking responsibility but had little support. “We did what we needed to do as parents. You’re going to get rebellion and we did,” she said. “It’s just that it escalated to ‘You can’t tell me what to do any more, I’m 16. I can leave school if I want to’.” Ms L said shifting laws to protect children had compromised parents’ ability to exercise control. “I can’t pick her up and deal with her because she’d say ‘I could ring the cops and tell them you’re hitting me’,” Ms L said. “Now, I understand that the laws are there to protect children in certain situations but we have no rights.” Ms L said police and the courts were too forgiving of young people who needed help to get “back on the right path”. She said a judge who changed his mind after threatening to send her to juvenile detention made taking drugs and breaking the law “too easy”. “When she came out she was petrified but it lasted a day then she was back on the stuff. She thought it was a joke.” Ms L said she was trying to admit her daughter to a rehabilitation centre but many refused to take her without a court order until she was 18. Barwon Health drug and alcohol counsellor Annie Baker said resources for rehabilitation services were “really tight” and involved waiting times. “There’s a window when a person’s really ready to do something different but if they have to wait six weeks they’ll feel hopeless and go and use again.” Ms Baker said most parents she helped were “really committed” to helping their children. “I think the stereotype is that if your kid’s into

Cruise returning A CRUISE ship will return to Geelong with its economic windfall after a successful visit in February, Mayor John Mitchell has announced. He said the booking agents for Regatta confirmed the ship would dock next in January 2014, strengthening the city’s case for funding to rebuild a former Yarra St Pier to accommodated cruises.

Bike fall A MAN suffered serious injuries after falling off a bike onto rocks 15 to 20 metres down a steep embankment under Geelong’s Shannon Ave Bridge, according to emergency workers. SES South Barwon commander Scott Clark said rescuers had to use ropes to rescue the victim after he fell “quite a distance” about midday Tuesday.

Train stall V/LINE has apologised to thousands of passengers after a peak-hour signal fault stopped trains on the Geelong-Melbourne line on Tuesday evening. The company prohibited passengers from leaving trains stuck between stations, forcing some to wait over five hours before reaching their destinations.

Cars burnt TWO STOLEN cars dumped and burnt in Newtown at almost the same time on consecutive Wednesday nights have prompted a police call for information. Police said both cars were discovered on Riversdale Rd about 3.45am both nights, with officers suspecting the same young offenders were involved in both incidents.

Pier works WORK will begin this winter on the final stage of a $2.2 million project to restore historic Queenscliff Pier, according to Parks Victoria. Ranger in charge said a $150,000 upgrade of timbers under the pier’s shed would complete the works, scheduled to avoid Easter holidays.

Food awards a golden export for region GEELONG has a new export, with the region’s Golden Plate Awards expanding to Bendigo after a successful introduction to Ballarat last year. Major winners in each of the three regions will compete for a best-of-the-best regional Victorian award. The Geelong section of the awards launched this week at City Hall. Restaurants and cafes will be on their best behaviour for the next six months as judging commences. Awards manager Pamela Jewson said the format would continue to include a high level of rigour, with an independent accounting firm auditing all scores. Ms Jewson said the eighth annual Golden Plates would retain a 36-point judging criteria using six professional food critics and judges. Judging panel president Rita Erlich said the awards might expand to four or five regions over the next two years. “If that is the case the state winner will be very hotly contested,” Ms Erlich said. “It says something about the energy, the commitment, the skills and the passions in

hospitality in regional Victoria.” The Independent will again sponsor a Golden Plate people’s choice awards. Managing editor Tony Galpin said around the award attracted about 5000

reviews last year, up from the 800s before the Independent became involved. “We’re thrilled to help promote the region’s best dining experiences again in 2012,” he said.

VEC backflips on Surf Coast review:

‘Introduce wards’ slammed the preferred option, calling for a ward system to be implemented. The submissions supported option B, which proposed four councillors for Torquay, two for both Anglesea and Winchelsea and a single councillor in Lorne. Former Geelong councillor and Barrabool resident Heather Wellington was “thrilled” with the commission’s decision. Ms Wellington said the existing structure failed to consider the “diversity of interests” within the shire. “A ward structure means the community will have councillors who are responsible for lis-

tening and responding to their concerns.” Ms Wellington said she would encourage Winchelsea Ward residents to “put their hand up” for council. “It can be quite daunting for people to run for council but we need the community’s support. “What would be great is to have someone very passionate about our community to run for the positions.” Former Surf Coast councillor and Winchelsea resident Lyndsay Schroeter said Torquay would still have a “monopoly” under the proposed model. “A councillor representing

Winchelsea could live in Torquay and they won’t support Winchelsea the way it needs to be supported.” Mr Schroeter said Torquay’s community had “very different concerns” to the rural interests of Winchelsea residents. Surf Coast councillors often “neglected” Winchelsea because they were too concerned with “getting Torquay initiatives through”, he said. Proportional Society of Australia has expressed similar concerns, saying Lorne Ward’s councillor would not necessarily have to live or own property in the area.

Geo firm bids for new funds BY CHERIE DONNELLAN A COMPANY is trying to regain federal funding for a geothermal energy project southwest of Geelong, according to its managing director. Greenearth Energy’s Mark Miller said he was awaiting funding approval for the project from Federal Government’s emerging renewables program. A Greenearth Energy study of geothermal energy sources found high levels of “hot sedimentary aquifers” in the Anglesea area in 2008. Greenearth Energy secured grants of $25 million from State Government and $7 million from the Commonwealth in December 2009. But the federal funding was

revoked after the company failed to acquire enough capital through the share market. Mr Miller said securing funding would allow Greenearth Energy to complete the first two stages. “We’re currently seeking to establish a suitable site for exploration and a potential demonstration stage within the next few years,” he said. “We’re hopeful that as result of our application we’ll be able to secure funding to move to the exploration stage.” Mr Miller said the company expected to announce the final site this month. “We continue to work in the area with stakeholders and community groups in order to appro-

priately explain the project and secure a site.” Federal Member for Corangamite Darren Cheeseman told the Independent he was unaware Greenearth Energy had applied for new funding. “I haven’t seen Greenearth Energy’s latest application but I will support them in getting further money.” Mr Cheeseman was aware Greenearth Energy lost its federal funding but believed “it would be good to get the project underway”. “We absolutely support the development of renewable energy, including geothermal energy, in our region. It will have huge benefits to the western Victorian region.”

Young buskers raise hospital funds BY MICHELLE HERBISON BUDDING young musicians will perform in Queenscliff on Good Friday to raise money for sick children, according to an organiser. Jenny Limb said the second annual Kids Busking for the Kids festival hoped to top $36,000 raised last year for Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. Artists aged from eight to 25 would rotate between 12 busking stations around the town. “It gets kids out there and it gives them confidence to know they’re not out there for themselves, they’re out there for other children,” Ms Limb said. “Usually when you go to a festival you see a lot of people doing things they’ve done for years but these are just children doing whatever they feel talented at. It’s fantastic.” Ms Limb said the event would also feature other family-friendly activities including music workshops, steam train rides, ice-sculpting and an Easter colouring competition. Busker register registrations were open at www.qmf.net.au.

Geelong eyes new residents, shoppers

City looking west BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG will target Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west for population and economic growth over the next 40 years, according to new draft plans. G21 Allianceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional growth plan and economic development strategy have pinpointed Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast-growing western suburbs as critical to Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development. G21 chief Elaine Carbines said the plans declared Geelong open for business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to show everyone we have a proactive and supportive culture to grow existing business and to attract new

business to the region.â&#x20AC;? The growth plan earmarked land at Lovely Banks and Bell Post Hill for residential development. The Independent reported last month that State Government had â&#x20AC;&#x153;ticked offâ&#x20AC;? an 8000-block land release for Lovely Banks following a 4500-lot announcement for Lara. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re competing with the west of Melbourne if we want to grow to 500,000 by 2050,â&#x20AC;? Ms Carbines said. City Hall economic development head Terry Demeo said Geelong should offer an alternative to western Melbourne residents and businesses.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to have the west of Melbourne look at Geelong as an alternative to Melbourne city for a range of needs, including employment, health and education.â&#x20AC;? The plan said Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s western growth corridor along with planning for a regional rail link and outer-metropolitan ring road would â&#x20AC;&#x153;forge stronger connectionsâ&#x20AC;? with Geelong. However, the plan included a â&#x20AC;&#x153;key settlement breakâ&#x20AC;? north of Lara to protect grasslands, wetlands and farming activities. Key elements of the plans included: Growing with infill and shared development rather than

outward developments; Targeted growth at Winchelsea (10,000) and Colac (20,000); Education, research and employment â&#x20AC;&#x153;hubsâ&#x20AC;? in Waurn Pondsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; south and Deakin University Development of a national transport and logistics precinct around Avalon Airport and Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s port and ring road employment precinct; and Completion of the ring road with connections to the Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula, Bannockburn and Colac. The draft plans are available at G21.com.au, with the consultation open until May 18.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN HITTING the open road on a rebuilt 1979 Moto Guzzi motorcycle still holds romance for English couple Kevin and Karen Browne. They spent a night in Geelong this week as part of a four-year round-the-world odyssey of 80,000km through 21 countries. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;properâ&#x20AC;? bed was a welcome change after many nights camping, Mr Browne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent a year just travelling around Australia, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big place.â&#x20AC;? The pair spent 10 years saving and four building the motorbike, complete with storage boxes, a canopy, a fridge and a winch.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The winch came in handy in Mongolia and Russia where we got stuck in slush a few times,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Browne said. Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Moto Guzzi Club provided a warm welcome for the Brownes, who stayed at the East Geelong home of members Michelle Bayliss and Rowan Beeby. The four Moto Guzzi enthusiasts forged a firm resolution to meet again in nine years time in Italy when the brand celebrates its centenary. The Brownes left Geelong on Tuesday to ride along the Great Ocean Road before heading to the Grampians and the high country before finishing their Aussie leg in Melbourne.

‘Toxic MP’ in HOT PRICE SALE NBN shortfall UP TO 50% OFF BY CHERIE DONNELLAN LABOR MP Darren Cheeseman’s “reckless politicking” has cost thousands of Geelong households a place in Australia’s broadband rollout, according to a Liberal Senator. Michael Ronaldson lashed Mr Cheeseman as an “ineffective representative for the people of Corangamite”. “The relationship between Darren Cheeseman and his colleagues is so toxic that Corangamite residents will now pay the price,” Mr Ronaldson said. Mr Cheeseman made national headlines in February when he dropped his support for Julia Gillard as Prime Minister to

instead publicly support Kevin Rudd’s eventually unsuccessful challenge. NBN Co last week announced plans to connect suburbs and towns around the region to the network except for households within Corangamite’s 3216 postcode, including Belmont, Highton, Grovedale, Marshall and Waurn Ponds. Mr Cheeseman said Mr Ronaldson had “clearly not looked at the facts” on the next network rollout in the region. “We’ve secured the NBN rollout for places including Queenscliff, Point Lonsdale, Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Torquay and Jan Juc among others,” Mr Cheeseman said. “The Liberal party has planned

that if they’re elected to government in 2013 they will knock off the NBN scheme. The community will have a very clear choice: if they want high-speed internet they will need to support Labor.” Mr Cheeseman said he was also successful in securing “hundreds of millions of dollars” for other projects in Corangamite. “We’ve delivered strong projects to this region and we will continue to campaign and deliver our projects. “We’ve delivered more in the past four years to this region than what the Liberal party has delivered in decades.” “If Michael Ronaldson ever has anything positive to say about Corangamite I’ll buy him a beer.”

A MAKEOVER has given a fresh start to a Whittington shop helping dress disadvantaged people for success. ReadyStart had its “grand re-launch” last week after renovations including new training rooms at its Wilsons Rd premises. Community services provider Encompass operates the store under supervisor Jan Daniels who oversees a team of people with disabilities. The store takes community “pre-loved” donations of clothing to dress customers in attire suitable for beginning new jobs or attending interviews. Encompass said it also used the shop to provide training for clients. Last year the organisation joined forces with Whittington Works to provide aged and home and community care training and education at the ReadyStart premises.

GEELONG Handweavers and Spinners Guild could have no more appropriate street in which to hold its regular gatherings. A Guide Hall in Hightonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Patern St fills every Tuesday with spinning wheels, looms, fabrics, wool and felt handled by a band of dedicated craftspeople. President Pam Morgan said the 40-year-old guild still retained connections to Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past as a textile centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of our members still work in wool, even though not as many people wear wool these days,â&#x20AC;? Pam said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The demise of the textile and wool industries has made it a bit more difficult to source supplies like wool fleece. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wool combers and scourers have closed in Geelong, so we have to source interstate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But some of the local farms donate fleeces to us because we need good quality fine merino, not too fine but not too coarse.â&#x20AC;?

Smart Electricity Meter Installations in the Geelong Region Corio Batesford

CitiPower and Powercor Australia is replacing almost one million manually read electricity meters with new smart meters over the next few years, as part of a Victorian Government program. When these smart meters are fully operational, you will start to see a range of innovations and products that will improve your service and help you to better understand and manage your power consumption.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be visiting your area soon to install smart meters. If you are scheduled to have a smart meter installed you will receive a Victoria Government notiďŹ cation and Powercor letters before your meter is replaced. These letters will tell you when our installers will visit and what is required of you. Generally we will require clear access to your meter. The smart meter installation typically takes 30-60 minutes. Our qualiďŹ ed installer will conduct a safety assessment of your meterboard, advise you if any safety issue is identiďŹ ed and provide advice on how to rectify the problem.

We are the company that owns and maintains the poles, wires and equipment that deliver your electricity. We also manage your electricity meter.

letters Fair go for retail WHILE it’s great that Australia Post, couriers and online traders are happier than pigs in poo and householders are receiving some offsets to cost-ofliving hikes, where will the carbon tax bottom out? How can there be a bottomless pit of compensation? Who ultimately pays, apart from the punter? On balance, why hasn’t bipartisan governance selfinterest thought through a fair go for the retail sector? Of course nobody wants to pay over the odds but, nevertheless, 130,000 retail sector employers and employees need to be either paid out or given a more-level playing field. Given a choice, the sector would push for the latter because of its DNA. Presently the numbers don’t stack up and the bad news is getting worse by the accelerated clicking of the mouse. The Gillard Government’s assertion that an annual $1.6 billion audit of GST retail internet transactions under $1000 wouldn’t be cost-effective on what was annual sales of $6 billion but now $14 billion and headed north is nonsense. What other legal business sector doesn’t pay tax on similar transactions? How santised a community do we wish to live in? Why dud a sector that has get up and go? I’d be surprised if retail would put up the white flag and comprehensively embrace a mining-boomfunded payout. From time to time we all need homewares, tools, clothing and footwear on a try-before-you-buy basis. Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Seeing reds on tax THE DECISION to export massive amounts of Latrobe Valley coal to China is perplexing. Let me see whether I understand the logic here. Victoria refuses to build new coal power stations in the valley, forcing up the cost of power, because burning coal creates greenhouse gas emissions, which is Julia Gillard’s justification for the carbon tax and regarded as bad for the environment. However, we are delighted to export this same dirty coal to China to burn in its power stations. Good luck explaining the integrity and reasoning of this to primary school children. In truth, most Aussie politicians privately don’t believe global warming nonsense but lack the political courage to confront the destructive green agenda. However, China reds don’t have any such problems with Greens. Brian Handley Geelong

Waste of government PRIOR to elections governments usually wheel out the stock-standard promises: openness and accountability; no carbon tax; tax reform generally; fiscal responsibility; budget surplus; and so on. Yet our federal Labor Government is notorious for its broken promise on the carbon tax and its wastefulness with taxpayers’ funds. The Government is also reported to be borrowing $100 million-plus a day, which amounts to almost the entire tax take of 2010/2011. How such borrowings can assist the government in achieving a sur-

plus is beyond me. All over the world countries are going to the wall and, under the stewardship of a third generation of Papandreou-like politicians. It seems that once having gained political power any sort of incompetence is excusable, especially when sending one’s country to the wall. All this is done without the politicians bearing any personal responsibility. It seems the Gillard Government is intent on sending the Commonwealth to the wall as quickly as it can. There can be no other reason behind the carbon tax, the wasteful National Broadband Network, the pink batts scandal and other programs except that maybe the Government is just really dumb. Perhaps some work needs to be done on passing legislation to make politicians accountable for what they do to our tax base and economy. Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

I AGREE with Alan Barron that alternative energy has costs (Letters, March 30). If we don’t factor in the “hidden” costs of burning fossil fuels, then, on the surface, they seem cheaper to use. However, we need to encourage a diversity of energy options, even if they initially require financial assistance. Even though evidence of human-induced climate change is compelling and overwhelming, Australia is failing to act quickly or strongly enough. The conservative side of politics generally does not or chooses not to understand the evidence because it disturbs business interests. The Labor party appears to understand the magnitude of the crises but is too frightened by powerful mining interests to act decisively. The Greens’ policies are the most admirable but it will be 10 to 20 years of hard slog for them to be recognised as Australia’s official opposition or government. My prediction will be that within two years we will have wall-to-wall coalition governments, including federally. Environmental laws will be weakened dramatically, as already happening in Victoria, and our quality of life will be poorer. To quote a Cree Indian proverb: “Only when the last tree is cut, only when the last river is polluted, only when the last fish is caught, only then will they realise that you cannot eat money.” Leigh Adamson Belmont

Under the weather LINDSAY SMAIL

‘Average’ rain leaves storages sitting on 75% GEELONG’S March rainfall was very close to average across the city. The suburbs ranged from just 23mm at Belmont to 51.4mm at Bell Post Hill. Averaged across the urban area, Geelong recorded 30mm compared to the monthly average of 32mm. Drier areas were around the Golden Plains district of Bannockburn and on the Bellarine Peninsula but the Otway Ranges generally received well-above average. Cape Otway received 110mm, which was double its average figure for March. West Barwon Reservoir and Mt Sabine, both in the region’s main water catchment zone, fared particularly well. Barwon Water’s figures revealed that our storages were at 74.9 per cent of capacity at the end of the month, which was the same level as recorded this time last year. This is good news as we enter the autumn-winter period. March temperatures were slightly cooler than normal around the region. The average daily minimum was 13C at Breakwater and average maximum was 23C. Overall, this was around .2C lower than normal. Only two days were above 30C compared to the March average of 3.6 days. The top temperature was 33.2C on March 14. Somewhat surprisingly, 30.9C was recorded on the last day of the month. Only two very windy days with gusts over 60km/h were recorded for the month, on March 1 and 23, both of which recorded 61 km/h gusts at Breakwater. Three thunder days were recorded on March 3, 14 and 15th, but no severe storms or damage was reported despite numerous lightning flashes.

GAS HEATING SAFETY Beware Carbon Monoxide… It’s a “Silent Killer” A warning to home owners who have gas heating regarding the dangers of carbon monoxide. It is a poison that you can’t smell or taste. But can be given off by your heater without you even knowing it. There have been a number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning in Victoria in the last few years and Energy Safe Victoria is aware of countless near misses where people have nearly died from carbon monoxide poisoning. It is mainly faulty or unserviced gas heaters

which can cause carbon monoxide to be produced. Energy Safe Victoria and the Plumbing Industry Commission recommend that gas heating be serviced by a licensed or registered gasﬁtter before the start of winter. Gasﬁtters who service the appliance must have a carbon monoxide analyser/detector that has been calibrated correctly. The reading must be less than 10 parts per million (PPM).

s the Fat Gene a good excuse for fat jeans? Recent discussions have focused on the possible existence of a fat gene. Health experts say there is no point testing for this gene because they don’t really believe it exists. We have to ask where was this gene 40 years ago when obesity was almost non-existent. Maybe we need to look a little closer at what has definitely changed over those years. Our supermarkets now have 80 per cent more items and many are high-energy products.

Our coastal Era

Locals: The Vasco Era returns to Apollo Bay this month. that was it. “We planned to change it but I guess we just got used to it.” O’Neil said differing personalities helped the trio work well as band mates and friends. Sid’s creativeness made him a good lyricist and vocalist. “He’s like the brooding artist...but not really,” O’Neil laughed. He described drummer and best friend Michael as “the funny one”. O’Neil considered himself “a little bit reserved”.

The band’s music had gone through “many changes” but still liked “being loud and having fun live”. “We’re bluesy-grunge at the moment but more grunge.” O’Neil said his brother and Fitzgerald now lived in Melbourne but he was in Anglesea. “I was in Melbourne during my 20s but I needed to get back to the water.” The band would always call Apollo Bay home, he said. “It doesn’t matter how long

we’re away, we come back and everyone treats us the same.” O’Neil said each band member now had careers outside music, with he and Fitzgerald studying to be teachers and Sid in social work. Music was all they needed outside their careers, he said. “It fills the void.” O’Neil said he was still excited about performing at the festival after appearing on the bill many times with various bands. The Apollo Bay Music Festival runs from April 20 to 22.

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN PLAYING the 20th anniversary of Apollo Bay Music Festival is a “homecoming” for the boys of The Vasco Era. Brothers Ted and Sid O’Neil and good friend Michael Fitzgerald grew up in the town on a diet of music, surfing and football. Ted O’Neil, the band’s bassist, spoke to the Independent from a school storeroom about music, Apollo Bay and friendship. O’Neil said each of the trio had an interest in music from a young age but waited until after high school before forming The Vasco Era. O’Neil said he “hated” Fitzgerald in primary school because he “called me names”. But a mutual strong interest in music created their friendship, he said. “We’ve been playing together (along with Sid) as The Vasco Era for over 10 years now.” O’Neil said Michael Leunig’s cartoon character Vasco Pygama inspired the band’s quirky name. “We had three hours to make up a name before our first gig because the venue owners wanted to put it on a poster. “My brother, Sid, was at school reading the newspaper, saw the cartoon character and

HOT CROSS MUFFINS 1. Preheat oven to 200Â°C. Grease a 12-hole muffin tray and line with paper cases. 2. Soak dried fruit in just enough boiling water to cover for 10 minutes. Drain well, then pat dry with paper towel. 3. Sift the flour, soda and spices into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs and sugar until combined. Add to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Gently stir in the fruit. Divide the mixture among muffin cases, then bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. 4. Meanwhile, place the extra 2 tbs sugar in a pan with 2 tbs water and simmer over low heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Brush the glaze over the muffins. 5. Sift icing sugar into a bowl. Add lemon juice and just enough hot water to make a thick, pipable icing. Use a piping bag or drizzle from a spoon to draw a cross on each muffin, then serve.

NEW HOMES AND LAND GOLF COURSE VILLAS RIGHT FOR A COUPLE NEW RESIDENTS at Barwon Heads’ 18th Fairway Villas community John and Thora Zietsman are working on their golf handicaps for some friendly competition with the neighbours. The couple found exactly what they were looking for when they bought one of the 36 golf-front villas, nestled perfectly between 13th Beach and the picturesque Thirteenth Beach Golf Course. 18th Fairway Villas, in Plantation Rd, offers a sea-change with all the benefits of a city lifestyle.

John says designing a home that was small enough for a retired couple but large enough for visitors and family was high on their agenda. “Villawood bent over backwards to adapt the home designs to suit our creature comforts, so we were able to change the configu-

Properties has designed 18th Fairway Villas to create uninterrupted golf course views and a haven for green thumbs and outdoor explorers. Stages 31 to 34 are now selling with lot sizes ranging from 370sqm to 680sqm. Packages include two or three bedroom

architecturally designed, six-star energy rated homes. The first eight villas are complete and ready to move in, starting at $528,000. For more information contact Bellarine Property on 5254 3100 or visit www.18thfairwayvillas.com.au.

Speaking to the Independent directly from New York, creative director and lead dancer Victor Trevino said the show was a night of world-class ballet filled with comedy and calamity. “About 30 years ago somebody decided they wanted to put guys in tutus and what they did was grab guys who weren’t dancers so when they got up on stage it was utterly comical,” he said. “I’ve taken that idea but hired professional dancers, so you get the skill that it takes for men to dance on their toes. “People are really exposed to what dance is and on top of that we have a good time. We make jokes and we laugh with the audience.” Trevino said his production’s modern take on ballet would help the audience “understand what dance is about”. “A lot of people think dance is too intellectual and elitist and that they’ll simply fall asleep in the chair but we’re not pretending to be old characters from thousands of years ago. “It’s nice to have people change their ideas of what dance is. “Women tend to bring their husbands along to see the show and they’re thinking ‘How am I going to get through this’ but a lot of them have come back and said

Tickled pink: Men in Pink Tights plays GPAC next week. they had a ball.” Men in Pink Tights features more than 50 dancers from 13 nations. Trevino said putting men in tights was as difficult as it sounded. “I’ve lost my toenails many times over the years,” he confessed. “My toes have bled and calves have hurt because you’re putting all your body weight on the tips of

your toes and spinning. “We’re able though to express something with our bodies, not just to move our appendages around. “We want to make people laugh and cry. “You’re going to have to look for the best side of us, though.” Geelong Performing Arts Centre will host Men in Pink Tights on Tuesday.

Double vision: Subaru XV has much more off-road ability than previous models but is equally at home on suburban roads.

5229 9844 & 5221 1864 The RAAF Museum is filled with over 20 display aircraft and a magnitude of memorabilia tracing the history of the RAAF, and fascinating tales of heroic deeds.

BY ERIC BLAIR ubaru has built its reputation on producing vehicles – wagons, hatches, sedans and utes – that can be used as family transport during the week, then taken into surprisingly rough areas at weekends. Subaru began with standard models with the traction advantages of all-wheel-drive, then later expanded into dedicated SUVs such as Outback and Forester. Now, the Japanese company has added a third SUV called the Subaru XV. Note that it’s called simply Subaru XV, rather than Impreza XV, a title that has been used in previous XV models but this model comes with far more offroad ability much than previously. The dark-grey lower bumper areas and wheel-arch protection mouldings are there not only to add toughness to the XV’s appearance, but also to provide protection when used in off-road conditions. As well, the suspension has been modified for greater ground clearance. Indeed, with clearance of 220 millimetres, the new Subaru sits further off the ground than many real 4WDs. Even better from a safety point of view, the windscreen pillars are slim enough to give good visibility around them. While at the same time providing the strength to put the Subaru XV high into the five-star range when tested to Australasian New Car Safety Program (ANCAP) standards.

Improved handling: It has plenty of road grip and provides good feel through the steering wheel and will please the most demanding of SUV drivers.

The Subaru XV is powered by a 2.0-litre horizontally-opposed boxer engine that generates maximum power of 110 kW at 6000 rpm and 196 Nm of torque at 4200 revs. The 2.0-litre engine is smooth and quiet, with the typical flatfour beat that Subaru owners love. The new Subaru XV marks the

latest step in an evolutionary process that began with the Impreza Sportswagon, followed by the Impreza RV and the about to be superseded Impreza XV. All have been popular with the loyal Subaru buyers and there’s no reason to expect anything different when the XV arrives here.

Ultra Carbon also comes with a full lifetime warranty. The TintMaster range includes almost-clear films for drivers preferring a lighter window that still keeps out heat and UV rays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you want the best look for your car, the best protection for your family and the best value for money, see TintMaster,â&#x20AC;?

sport On the bite BRIAN LONG THIS week I’ll suggest some of the most consistent locations to wet a line over Easter. Surf fishing for salmon always fires at this time of the year, with many fish being caught from the deep-water rock platforms between Lorne and Apollo Bay. Bait works but lure produces the big numbers of fish two hours either side of high tide in locations with wave action. Beach anglers will find Fairhaven best, although the water should be without sand discolouration. High tide should have the best water, with lure best. Lorne’s Loutit Bay just down from the hospital is a great location for whiting on either pippies or fresh squid strips just before dark. Salmon can also be present. Estuary anglers should try Anglesea River upstream of the Great Ocean Road Bridge late in the afternoon. Use fresh baits such as Bass yabby, shrimp, crab and sandworm, while lure anglers enjoy success on suspending hard-bodied models. Bream could also be caught from the Barwon River estuary along with other species such as salmon, trevally and elephant fish. Fresh bait again is key. Point Lonsdale Pier will fish best throughout the middle part of the day, generally at high tide. Look for salmon half way along the pier with soft plastics or use pippies on a small number six hook for whiting and trevally as well. The cut at Queenscliff should hold trevally an hour either side of high or low tide. Soft plastics have always been the most productive lures for the trevally here, while bait anglers will need pilchard fillets or peeled yabby tail. Boat fishing at Queenscliff has been all about kingfish, with the biggest taken close to the face of The Rip – not a place for the inexperienced. Smaller kings are available further into Lonsdale Bight where live baits will be nailed. Jigging in 20m with a 180g knife jig or trolling with an artificial squid of around 25cm on the surface should be effective. Whiting are spread out at Queenscliff. Just 300m from the ferry terminal in front of Swan Island is ideal, with anglers advised to work toward Swan Bay’s entrance to find fish. The entrance provides many options. Whiting are usually present but a liberal berley trail can attract garfish, leatherjacket, flathead and salmon. The same area fished at first light has been producing outstanding squid over 2kg. Anyone seeking whiting further up the bay should head to Inner Governor Reef. A series of short moves might be required to find a patch on pippies or fresh squid. Grassy Point also has hosted reasonable

Going nuts: Phillip Brownnutt with snapper recently caught at Wilson Spit numbers of whiting. Gummy sharks have been taken consistently from the 20m drop out from West Channel Pile. Fishing after dark is essential, with gummies over 15kg regular caught on cured eel, sauries and squid heads. Anglers prepared to fish before sunrise should try the 18m drop straight out from Prince George Light with hard baits such as silver whiting. Wilson Spit has been the most consistent for big snapper on the southern side of the channel during the early morning and evening. Snapper have also been taken directly out from the quarries in about 6m of water on pilchards. Shallower water at this location can produce good numbers of pinkies to 1kg. Point Lillias will be the best land-based option, with light surf outfits best for the long casts required. Whiting and flathead will be the most likely captures but snapper are a possibility, while lures should be kept handy for salmon. Soft plastics anglers should work either the outer or inner edge of the spoil grounds off Leopold where the snapper have been holding in the deeper water. A drift on the spoil should also produce quality flathead

and the odd pike. Stingaree Bay spoil grounds has been returning reasonable captures of whiting, small snapper and flathead. Land-based action inside Corio Bay will focus on North Shore rocks late in the afternoon and into dark for big snapper on pilchards. Surf gear is required for distance and to keep snapper from snagging on the rock ledge in front. Geelong waterfront should be worthwhile with soft plastics for snapper on the high tide on dark as well as flathead and trevalla. The Barwon River in Geelong remains but Fyans or Queen’s parks should yield carp on bread or corn baits. Lake Tooliorook is hot for redfin to 600g, with the odd fish over 1kg. Live minnow or worms have been useful. Nearby Deep Lake has been fishing exceptionally well on Powerbait with running sinker rigs. Lake Purrumbete should be busy but always produces trout. Troll early in the morning and as the day goes on change to baits such as mudeye or minnow. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Ave, Manifold Heights.

BFL back for Easter GRASS roots footy returns to Geelong footy fields this weekend, with Bellarine Football League playing a full round of games on Saturday. The league likes to showcase its product to visitors to the Surf Coast over the Easter break and has scheduled all games to be played in coastal towns. Reigning premier Queenscliff has a new coach in Tom Limb and has lost key player Dylan Chaplin-Birch, with the 100 goal full-forward returning to Warrnambool. Dan Gibbs may also be missing as the talented youngster has a crack at VFL with Geelong. The Coutas will see how the loss of these two will affect them because its round one opponent at Queenscliff Reserve will be Geelong Amateurs, the team it beat in last year’s grand final. Tim Clark is coaching Ammos again and has lured Luke Buckland and Justin Bosely to the club. Portarlington and Newcomb are set to play a close game at Portarlington. The Demons have a new coach in ex-AFL player Dan Lowther who is sure to bring some professionalism to the battling club. Newcomb reappointed David McCormick as coach and picked up handy recruits in Brad King and Zac Birrel. Anglesea again has Luke Primus in charge and no wonder because he coached the Roos to third spot on the ladder last year. The Roos welcome Barwon Heads to Dave Harding Oval on Saturday but will find the Seagulls a hard task. Peter Connors is the new coach and has lured ex-AFL player Tony Brown to help out. Key recruits Charlie Swan, Dan Hayes and Ed Mitchell and the addition of some home-grown talent from the under-18s will make the Seagulls a highly competitive unit. A big crowd is assured for Spring

Local Footy FRANK MASON Creek Reserve for the match between Torquay and Modewarre. The Tigers have appointed South Barwon duo Michael MacFarlane and Craig McCaughan as co-coaches and are expecting a successful year. Brendan Wall has left but at least 10 new players are on the list this year. Matthew Sproule retains his coaching role at Modewarre and has gun recruit Peter Davenport on board to help get the Warriors into the finals. Davenport is a hard-nosed ball winner and brings a lot of coaching and playing experience to the club. Ocean Grove and Drysdale will also draw a crowd to Ocean Grove Reserve. The Grubbers have stuck with Cam McGregor as coach and welcome Liam Rock and Michael Stewart to the club. Bernie Lynch, James Dalton and Cade Wellington won’t be playing this year, leaving a big hole in the side. Drysdale will aim for finals this year under second coach James Colbert and has quality recruits in Tom Dewy, Adrian Robinson and Jon Colbert. Selections: ANGLESEA v Barwon Heads, PORTARLINGTON v Newcomb, Queenscliff v AMATEURS, TORQUAY v Modewarre and OCEAN GROVE v Drysdale. Geelong Football League plays one game over Easter, with Colac and Geelong West Saint Peters clashing at Colac’s Central Reserve on Good Friday. Playing on Good Friday is a first for the Geelong region, so it will be interesting to see whether the match draws a crowd.
