Fisheryjobs setfor cuts

Reseachers to go

BY MICHELLE HERBISONFISHERIES Victoria will cutQueenscliff jobs as part of a StateGovernment move to “combine” sci-ence teams and “refocus”, accordingto a minister.

Agriculture and Food SecurityMinister Peter Walsh said the reshufflewould involve cutting some jobs atQueenscliff’s Fisheries ResearchBranch and moving staff fromMelbourne and Geelong.

Department of Primary Industrieswould concentrate on assessing fishstocks, measuring commercial andrecreational fishing catches and under-taking targeted biological research onkey fish species.

Labor Member for Bellarine LisaNeville said in parliament this weekthat the announcement would slash 15jobs at the research branch – half itsexisting staff.

“The impact of these savage cutswill have a disastrous impact on ourlocal fishing industry and marine envi-ronment,” she said.

“Talk of relocating staff fromMelbourne and Geelong toQueenscliff cannot hide the harsh real-ity that we are going to lose 15 crucialresearch positions from theDepartment of Primary Industries.”

The Independent reported in Maythat Fisheries Victoria’s work with a

mussel hatchery at Queenscliff hadboosted industry at Portarlington.

The facility had helped the state’smussel production grow 68 per cent to951 tonnes in the 2010/2011 year.

Ms Neville said job cuts wouldplace “innovative, world-class” devel-opments like the mussel hatchery at“serious risk”.

“It was staff at the DPI Centre inQueenscliff who developed a newshellfish hatchery to produce a reliablehigh quality spat that was vital in sav-ing our mussel industry. The potentialfor developments of this calibre in thefuture is at serious risk with cuts ofthis magnitude to the research capaci-ty.”

Ms Neville called on theGovernment to reinstate the positions.

Mr Walsh said the Government“remained committed” to fisheries sci-ence at Queenscliff.

“Some current positions atQueenscliff will be reduced but nostaff member will be forced to takeredundancy as a result of the changes.Affected staff will be found employ-ment within the department or willhave the option of applying for a vol-untary departure package if theychoose.”

Mr Walsh said the job cuts would“not affect” Queenscliff Marine andFreshwater Discovery Centre.

Spanish flavour for NT students at HeadsBY BEN SAUNDERS

A GROUP of 10 indigenous secondarystudents from the Northern Territory havesampled Spanish food in Barwon Heads.

Ella Rzempwski’s Corason cafe hostedthe middle school students this week, giv-ing many their first taste of Spanish cui-sine.

The students came from a small, remotecommunity, Nganmarriy, with a popula-

tion of about 400. Ms Rzempwski said she first met the

indigenous children when she participatedin a charity event that sent her to theNorthern Territory last year.

She travelled to their remote communi-ty, about four hours from Darwin, to teachresidents how to cook basic meals such asfried rice.

“It was the best experience of my life.”

Ms Rzempwski said she felt compelledto invite the students for lunch when sheheard they would be in town.

Accompanying teacher Joe Hewett saidthe students were in Victoria for 11 daysas part of a government school program.

“The program aims to give them anexperience of how the rest of Australialives outside of their community,” MrHewett said.

Silo tunnel‘locked up’

BY NOEL MURPHYA DANGEROUS undergroundplayground at Geelong’s formercement works silos has beensealed off and security ramped upafter the Independent foundyouths armed with iron bars andspray cans.

Adelaide Brighton Cement,which leases the site fromVicTrack, said bolts on a metalcover to a tunnel under the siloshad been reinstated after theywere found deteriorated.

The tunnel had become a darkadventure playground for youthsfound a fortnight ago emergingfrom the entrance with photo-graphs.

Graffiti vandals have coveredmost of the buildings with theirhandiwork.

A group of four, one armedwith an iron bar, as well as paintspray cans told the Independentthe abandoned site was a greatplace for teens and that “heaps ofpeople come here’’.

“The particular tunnelentrance, from a standing backpoint of view, looked like it wassecured,’’ an Adelaide Brightonspokesperson said.

“However, on physicallychecking the covering metal plateit was realised the bolts coveringthe metal plate had weatheredand the youths were able to movethe plate to get access.

“Over time, it appears theweather had weakened the bolts.This has now been repaired.”

Neighbouring residents havealso complained about the derelictcondition of the McCurdy Rd site,which generated flying rubbishand dust in high winds.

Adelaide Brighton has alsomoved to secure holes in perime-ter fencing to restrict access.

The company was in ongoingtalks with VicTrack regarding thesite’s future, the spokespersonsaid.

Cat condolencesGEELONG Football Club has extended its “deepestsympathy” to the family of Port Adelaide playerJohn McCarthy after his apparently accidental deathin Las Vegas.

Cats chief Brian Cook noted that McCarthy’sfather, Shane, and brother, Matt, were formerGeelong players.

Water appointmentSTATE Government has appointed a Torquay cor-porate lawyer to the board of Barwon Water.

Water Minister Peter Walsh said Sarah Adams,senior legal counsel for Orica Australia, wouldbegin a three-year term on October 1. He alsoannounced the reappointment of existing directorsJodi Heath and Hugh Gleeson for second terms.

Disabled jobsA FEDERAL grant will help a Geelong agency cre-ate 25 “employment outcomes” and an equal num-ber of work experience placements for people withdisabilities, Minister Kate Ellis has announced.

She said Pathways Rehabilitation and SupportServices wold be among the first agencies inAustralia to match disabled people with employersunder a new Disability Employment Broker fund.

Coles closerA NEW supermarket for Lara is a step closer afterlocal and state governments reached an agreementwith Coles.

Council said the trio had agreed on a process forconstruction works and transfer of land to allow theexpansion of Lara’s town centre onto Austin Park.

Target accusedGEELONG-based department store Target is inFederal Court accused of selling fake MAC cosmet-ics.

A Target spokesperson said the products weresourced from domestic suppliers who providedassurances they were genuine.

Funding pushGEELONG’S council will seek $430,000 from StateGovernment for six sport and recreation projects.

Councillors voted this week to seek grants of upto $100,000 for upgrade and improvement works inWhittington, Highton, Herne Hill, Norlane and BellPost Hill as well as for a “broad strategic guide” onregional open space land and assets.

BY CHERIE DONNELLANTORQUAY’S Tanya and Terry Reidwere able to drive their disabled sonHarry for the first time in seven monthslast Sunday.

The Reid family were “over themoon” to receive a secondhand wheel-chair-accessible van after struggling toraise funds.

Ms Reid said the family previously

battled to transport Harry, who hasmultiple disabilities including cerebralpalsy, in their “1980s bomb of a car”.

Harry’s grandmother and carer,Maree Hansen, said seeing the Reidfamily able to travel together was a“delight”.

They were extremely grateful tocommunity members who donatedfunds through the I Give a BuckFoundation, she said.

“I Give a Buck were great in pro-moting our campaign and so was StLaurence.

“We’re also very thankful to thestate and federal government for theirfunding.”

Maree said an Independent storyabout Harry’s plight helped secure anadditional $5000 in State Governmentfunding.

BY MICHELLE HERBISON“HEALTH problems” like HIV willincrease if gay marriage is legalised,according to a Geelong reverend.

St George’s Presbyterian ChurchReverend Andrew Bray this weeksigned an Australian Christian Lobbypetition to protect the definition ofmarriage as between “one man and onewoman”.

Rev Bray said health and theologyjointly drove his opinion.

“The increase in HIV and thosesorts of issues… statistics indicate it’sgreater in same-sex couples.

“My simple opinion is the indicationthat there are more health problems thatwould ensue as a result of legislatingthis than where we are at the moment.”

Rev Bray’s comments came as fed-eral parliament this week debated a billto legalise same-sex marriage.

Member for Corangamite DarrenCheeseman and Corio MP RichardMarles both confirmed they wouldsupport the bill at an upcoming con-science vote.

The region’s other signatory to theAustralian Christian Lobby petition,Church by the Bay Portarlington’sReverend David Rock, refused to dis-

cuss with the Independent his reasonfor supporting the letter.

Mr Cheeseman said anyone joiningthe public debate should be “upfrontand honest”.

His decision to support the bill fol-lowed 12 months of consultation withconstituents.

“After listening carefully, I’veadopted the position to support theirview. Obviously there’s a diversity ofviews out there but certainly theminority view in the Geelong commu-nity is to oppose it.

“A lot of people are using fear to tryand stop the reform. I don’t think there

are any consequences on people’shealth by changing the Marriage Act.”

Mr Marles said in parliament thisweek he “had an enormous amount ofrespect for” those who believed mar-riage should be between only a manand a woman but he disagreed.

Legalising same-sex marriagewould follow recent reforms in proper-ty and superannuation laws for homo-sexual couples, he said.

“The legislation… will remove adenial of human rights from our booksand will allow same-sex couples toengage in our society on the sameterms as heterosexual couples.”

Lunch lessons in ‘the art of etiquette’

Dell cliff ‘shift’ delays green project

A NEW program is givingGeelong primary school kids alesson in the dying art of diningetiquette.

About 60 grade five studentsfrom Northern Bay P-12 Collegelast week shared a two-courserestaurant meal and some stimu-lating conversation with lawyersand administration staff fromnational law firm Slater &Gordon.

Ardoch Youth Foundationorganised the event at GordonInstitute of TAFE’s DavidsonRestaurant as part of the founda-tion's Etiquette Lunch Program.

The program seeks to teachGeelong children about manners,conversation, respect and diningetiquette.

Northern Bay College assistantprincipal Toni Scott said the

lunches allowed students to bene-fit from adult conversation at arestaurant other than McDonalds.

Slater and Gordon’s MichaelHarris said the youngsters passedwith flying colours.

BY MICHELLE HERBISONUNSTABLE cliffs at CliftonSprings’ The Dell beach hasforced an educational regenera-tion project to relocate and delayplans until May.

The Independent reported inAugust The Dell’s closure had ledto Drysdale Clifton Springs

Community Association postpon-ing its community environmentday for the second time this year.

Locals worried the area couldface long-term closure because itwas shut to the public for six yearsuntil 2008 due to cracking cliffs.

City of Greater Geelong’sRodney Thomas confirmed this

week that the majority of the areawas open to the public while fenc-ing contained maintenance works.

“Horizontal shift of up to500mm has been detected in cer-tain areas over the past ninemonths. A number of mitigationmeasures have been put in place,including groundwater pumping.”

BY NOEL MURPHYRED TAPE stifling planning bidslodged with City Hall needs to becut and replaced with a new senseof urgency, according to mayoralcandidate Keith Fagg.

A benchmark 30-day turn-around, half the statutory 60 days,should be set to help showGeelong was serious aboutencouraging business, the hard-ware boss says in an electionmanifesto aimed at boosting thelocal economy.

“There’s a council in SouthAustralia that tries to process plan-ning applications within 24 hoursyet here we have people ringingup after three weeks to find theclock has stopped,” he said.

“At the moment, processinghas to be done within 60 days.Often even this isn’t achieved.

“Let’s set an internal target ofhalf that 30 days, for straightfor-ward applications to be processedthat sends business a message thatGeelong can-do.”

Mr Fagg suggested on online

process be investigated to deter-mine whether applicants couldfurnish City Hall with most of theinformation themselves to cutthrough a red tape jungle stiflingapplications.

“If they knew in advance whatthe council wanted, most peoplewould be happy to provide all thedetails themselves,” he told theIndependent.

“Setting an internal benchmarkof a 30-day turnaround for stan-dard planning applications where

referral to external bodies is notrequired would demonstrate agreater urgency in facilitatingappropriate projects.’’

Mr Fagg said planning delayswere extremely frustrating forbusiness, so City Hall had to scru-tinise its resources, systems andprocesses.

His manifesto stressed top pri-ority to encouraging small tomedium-sized enterprises (SMEs)as a key driver of economic activ-ity and jobs.

“They’re the future ofGeelong’s economy, the SMEswith 10, 20, 50 employees. Wehave to encourage them as muchas we possibly can.”

Mr Fagg said City Hall neededto adopt a stronger “can-do’’ atti-tude that helped rather than ham-pered business.

“Most businesses understandthat council has a role to play butenterprise wants local govern-ment to understand it better.Business wants to do the rightthing but it needs understandingby government.”

Priority: Keith Fagg.

BAY ‘BOMBSITES’ CLEAN UP THE WATERFRONT

Hopping mad

Candidate calls for bay ‘audit, body’

Wallaby, neglect in contrast

BY NOEL MURPHYCLEANING up Corio Bay and itsforeshore must be a high priorityfor Geelong’s next council,according to mayoral hopefulBernadette Uzelac.

She said turning a blind eye toderelict, unsafe and unsightlybuildings and vacant propertiesalong the foreshore would notmake them go away.

Ms Uzelac called for a fore-shore audit and recognition of theeconomic and environmental ben-

efits of rehabilitation of thebayfront.

“Who owns these properties?Who is talking to the owners?”she said

“What opportunities and incen-tives are there to encourageinvestors to explore alternativeuses for these buildings or to rede-velop these neglected sites?’’

Ms Uzelac called for a newbody to oversee the bayfront’srehabilitation and protection.

A City Hall and Central Coastal

Board action plan drafted in 2010called for a volunteer group tomanage litter, weeds and pestsand to revegetate the foreshore.

But the plan needed “a newlevel of accountability andaction’’, Ms Uzelac said.

“Let’s get on with this … arewe ignoring an obvious economicdriver in our environmentalassets?

“What’s stopping us from tak-ing control and fixing our ownfront yard?’’

BY NOEL MURPHYNEWCOMB’S Bernie Woolfreyhas videoed wallabies poundingthrough Eastern Park but can’tunderstand why authorities haveabandoned its foreshore.

Graffiti, rubbish and weedshave destroyed historic lime kilnsadjoining the park, while a formergun club site has laid abandonedfor years, smothered in smashedtar and lead-riddled targets.

Mr Woolfrey was appalled atthe detritus reaching all the wayacross Stingaree Bay toward aswan colony and an international-ly-recognised bird haven inMoolap’s wetlands.

“Over the years the tide andwaves have gradually picked it upand moved it further around thebay,’’ he said.

“You can see it on the satelliteimages on Google Maps.’’

The Independent has highlight-ed degraded sites on Corio Bay’sforeshore in recent weeks, withMPs, environmentalists, formerministers and mayoral candidates

calling for master plans, commu-nity committees, icon status andother action.

The bay’s problems constitute a

catalogue of rubbish, vandalism,shooting galleries, dangeroussites, toxic and unremediated landand dumping grounds.

They include asbestos depositsand a dangerous, unsecured for-mer power station at NorthGeelong, an abandoned slipway atRippleside and eroding cliffs atWestern Beach.

As for Eastern Park, it’s fouryears since the EPA issued aclean-up notice to Department ofSustainability and Environmentand two since the department andcouncil were meant to complete amaster plan for the site.

Mr Woolfrey’s partner, KathDoole, said action was overdue.

She echoed calls for a newapproach to managing Corio Bay.

“Perhaps leadership needs to beplaced out of local governmenthands,’’ she said.

“They’ve had long enough toget it sorted but are still so easilyseduced by someone showing upwith a fancy picture of a conven-tion centre. “

Rather than spend endless dollars on dieting programmes, these people have decided to put their money into the hands of a good trainer. Paying for the advice and direction of a good trainer is really no different to paying for the advice of any other professional service.

Club Exec, Geelong’s central gym is now the Geelong Campus for the Australian Institute of Personal Trainers.

Managing director, Robyn Reimers says that despite most people believing there is a glut of personal trainers in our town, there is defi nitely a growing demand for personal training amongst the business population, particularly before and after normal business hours. Good trainers are those that have real life experience to pass on, good communication skills and live, eat and breathe the lifestyle themselves. People who fi t into this category may have no previous background as a

trainer, but are gold when it comes to training clients once they have been given the proper certifi cation to do so.

Robyn says “I am thrilled with the people that we have had come through our course already. They are extremely passionate about their work, and bring a vast amount of experience from disciplines such as triathlon, martial arts, athletics and running. I am looking forward to each and every one of them working out of our club as it continues to grow.

It is also interesting to note that most people undertake the training as more of a means of educating themselves better, or merely for their own interest, rather than using it as a means of employment . The statistics held by the AIPT sited that learning how to train better was the biggest reason for anyone taking on this training.

Personal training is often a part time career and a means of people supplementing their existing income.

The real difference between this training programme and others, is that trainers get to practice their skills in a real gym environment.

Whatever the reason that you take on this career, make sure you check us out or visit the AIPT website on www.aipt.com.au

‘Great’ Brownlessno one’s silly Billy

Barwon Water fined for work without permit

BY NOEL MURPHYCATS FOOTY legend BillyBrownless is the first to con-cede his limited reputation foracademic achievements.

“I kicked a 150 goals in myHSC, I think that got methrough,’’ he offers by way ofevidence.

Not that Assumption Collegeever let too many slackersthrough.

Billy’s great great grandfa-ther, Anthony Brownless,though, held an academic pedi-gree that would kick a Sherrinway over a Jerilderie wheat siloany day.

Sir Anthony CollingBrownless set up a medicalcourse at Melbourne Universityand served as its vice chancel-lor.

He was a keen cricketer butappears to have shunned foot-ball.

“He was actually knightedtwice, once in the UK and oncein Australia,” Billy says.

“He set up a few things, hedid pretty well for himself …and he had the best pack ofhounds in Victoria.’’

Present-day Brownless fami-

ly members Bill, father Tonyand sister Melanie ventured toMelbourne Uni recently to lendthree of great-great granddad’smedals to its Medical HistoryMuseum for display alongside afully-restored portrait of SirAnthony.

The great-great Brownlessgrandfather, who graduatedfrom Scotland’s St AndrewsUniversity, arrived in

Melbourne at the height of theGold Rush in 1852.

He’d been forced to emigratein a bid to recover from tuber-culosis but smartly set up hisown medical practice. In 1855he was appointed to the councilof the fledgling University ofMelbourne, his aim to start up amedical school.

His portrait, a fine lithographby British artist Thomas

BARWON WATER must pay a $6000 finefor failing to obtain approval for a watertreatment plant at Birregurra, the state'senvironmental watchdog has revealed.

EPA Victoria said the "company" admit-ted its failure to obtain the works permit,

required under the Environment ProtectionAct.

The permit was required for works with"significant environmental impact", theEPA said.

EPA south west manager Eve Graham

called the fine a "stern reminder" that com-panies must consult the organisation beforebeginning projects.

"Without works approvals there isincreased risk that industrial projects willcause pollution.”

Herbert Maguire and dated1850, is on show at the medicalmuseum. Prodigious sideburnsand coiffure aside, the imagebears a fair resemblance to thefootballing Brownlow scion ofcontemporary times.

“You really think so?” Billyasked.

“We’re proud of the contribu-tion made to Melbourne andVictoria, absolutely, and contin-ue to be impressed by his visionand dedication.”

The family heritage hasanother curious aspect.

“He died on the third ofDecember 1897 and my daugh-ter, Ruby, was born on the thirdof December 1997, exactly 100years later,’’ says Billy.

It’s worth noting, too, theesteemed academic is in factBilly’s namesake.

“Our first-born sons are allnamed Anthony. I’m actuallyAnthony William myself.”

But Billy failed to inherit themedical bent.

“I’m good at self-diagnosis,though,’’ he claims, “but youjust have to work through it.

“A frothy helps sometimes,too, but my wife doesn’t thinkso.”

Family likeness: Billy Brownless and great-greatgrandfather Anthony Brownless.

Dealer in plans toexpand Corio site

Parks, shuttles tocater for studentsDEAKIN University will “acquire” land for carparking and initiate a park-and-ride service toaccommodate an influx of students into centralGeelong next year, an executive has announced.

Facilities services executive director KevinMurphy said Deakin would use 19-23 BroughamSt for parking and operate the park-and-rideservice from Barwon Valley Activity Centre “incollaboration” with Geelong’s council.

The park-and-ride bus service would be freefor students, Mr Muprhy said.

Deakin plans to move 1200 business and lawstudents from Waurn Ponds to the university’sWaterfront campus next year.

Business and civic leaders hope the influx willhelp revitalise central Geelong.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVERENWINTER and Taylor plans amassive expansion ofBunnings’ existing site onCorio’s School Rd, the dealer-ship has confirmed.

Managing director JamesMorphy said Winter andTaylor’s truck sales and servicedivisions and a second panelshop would relocate to the site.

Mr Morphy said the expan-sion would mean the dealershipmore than doubled in size.

“It will be absolutely sensa-tional,” he said.

“We’ll have 60 to 70 staff outthere. We’ll have a panel shopthere as well as the panel shopin town.

“Seventy per cent of ourtruck sales and service cus-tomer base is in the north ofGeelong, so this is an ideallocation for us.”

Mr Morphy said the dealer-ship had plans to “furtherdevelop” the site with retail

opportunities, including a cof-fee shop.

The move would also enableWinter and Taylor to redevelopits existing Mercer St site into a“state-of-the-art” dealership.

“We’ve been looking forsomething since the govern-ment compulsorily acquired theIsuzu site on the other side ofMercer St,” Mr Morphy said.

“We’re on five different sites

and this gives us the opportuni-ty to amalgamate on two pur-pose-built sites.

“It will help us make muchbetter use of the land we havegot. Our current service depart-ment site will be included in therear of the car showroom, forinstance.

Mr Morphy said the expan-sion represented a strong voteof confidence in the automotivesector.

“The truck sales and servicesection is a great part of ourbusiness, plus School Rd is afantastic retail site.”

Mr Morphy said existing sitetenant Bunnings had requesteda lease extension.

“They said it would take sixmonths to construct(Bunnings’) new site inNorlane and they’ll give us sixmonths notice.

“The timing all depends onwhen the Norlane warehouse iscompleted.”

From the road: Winter and Taylor’s plans for Bunnings’ Corio site.

Layout: The plans will dramatically expand the areaof commercial activity on the site.

Bid to ‘rescue’food for needy

Win sports boat, PWC expo ticketsThe Independent will give

away two tickets to each of fivewinners.

To enter the draw, visit theIndependent’s Facebook page, atfacebook.com/GeelongIndependent, to answer a simple question.Winners will be notified Tuesday.

Keep an eye on the page formore competitions and ticketgiveaways.

THE INDEPENDENT is givingaway 10 passes to Club Marine’sSports Boat & PWC Expo.

The event will feature the latestin sports boats and personalwatercraft, such as jet-skis, atMelbourne’s Royal ExhibitionBuilding from September 21 to23.

Entry is $15 for adults, $10 forpension or concession card hold-

ers or free for children aged under15 when accompanied by anadult.

BY CHERIE DONNELLANGEELONG will be a focus of aproject to divert “perfectly eat-able” food from going to wasteand into disadvantaged homes,according to a Victorian welfarebody.

Foodbank Victoria chief execu-tive officer Ric Benjamin saidState Government had identifiedGeelong as a centre to participatein a statewide “food mappingproject”.

Foodbank and StateGovernment would run the proj-ect to find food producers willingto donate products that failed tomeet “Australian supermarkets’high standards”, Mr Benjaminsaid.

The products could become“rescued food” to help feed disad-vantaged households.

“Australian consumers are veryfussy, so there is surplus foodavailable that is currently being

thrown out or destroyed,” MrBenjamin said.

“These items are eatable butthey just might be the wrongshape or size or have a smallblemish, which producers can’tsell to supermarkets.”

Mr Benjamin said a recentFoodbank report, End Hunger inAustralia, identified a “hiddenepidemic” of people unable toafford three meals a day.

“With the high costs of rent,petrol, electricity and gas, peopleare unable to make ends meet.

“We’ve found out parents areskipping meals so they can payfor their children to attend aschool excursion.”

Mr Benjamin said the foodmapping project could help“starving families” but farmerswere reluctant to donate pro-duce.

“They believe people won’tbuy the food in supermarkets

because they’re giving it away forfree to others.

“We believe it will actuallyexpand their market becausesome of our clients who havenever had some fresh fruit andvegetables will try it, like it andpossibly buy it once they’re backon their feet.”

Mr Benjamin said the majorityof people using Foodbank servic-es and its related agencies likeGeelong Food Relief centre were“only short-term clients”.

The Independent reported lastmonth that Geelong Food Reliefwas recording increasing demandfor help.

The agency’s Dave Manningsaid demand was rising amongpeople at all income levels as theystruggled to meet financial obliga-tions.

“People we don’t really expectare coming in and need the serv-ice.”

Union club Ramshome its pedigree

THERE could scarcely be a bet-ter nickname for a rugby unionclub than the Rams.

After all, that’s what many ofits players spend a good deal ofthe game doing – ramming theopposition.

And the club has becomepretty good at it, winning a fewpremierships along the journey -no mean feat while promotingthe “foreign” code in an AFLheartland.

In fact, just as GeelongFootball Club can boast beingthe second oldest AFL club,Geelong Rams are the secondoldest rugby union club inregional Victoria, founded in1929.

Its original ground wasKardinia Park west, where StMary’s now plays in GeelongFootball league.

Rams president Hugh Parsonssaid the club had been nomadicbut was now settled at its homeground at Flinders Peak, Corio.

“Our clubrooms have beenrecently upgraded and there’splenty of room at the Ram’sHead Bar,” Hugh grinned.

proud of its efforts in cultivatingits junior ranks, he said.

“We’ve worked hard to devel-op our juniors. We run an under-age competition and it feeds intoour senior ranks.

“There’s no rugby played inschools so there’s no grassrootsdevelopment, other than ourown junior teams.

“Our coaches have done afantastic job with the juniors andwe have a great working rela-tionship with Melbourne Rebels.

“The Rebels regularly allo-cate two players to come and

visit us and help with the coach-ing, which the juniors love.”

Hugh said the club attracted a“transient” population of playersincluding expatriates from Fiji,New Zealand and Tonga as wellas British and Irish devotees ofthe sport.

“The beauty is that we get tomeet people from all over theworld because rugby is an inter-national game which Aussierules isn’t,” Hugh said.

“Our secret recruitmentweapon is that a lot of our play-ers have married Geelong girls.”

Hugh said the game wasplayed hard on the field but onceplayers hit the sheds after thegame they always had a beerwith the opposition.

“You become friends andrespect each other as you get toknow each other – I’m still intouch with mates from 30 yearsago.”

Hugh said anyone interestedin checking out the “other”rugby code should call him on5275 7277 or visit geelong.rug-bynet.com.au.

Council initially decided to subdi-vide the land but this week voted to sellthe 3.77-hectare parcel in Rollins Rd.

The Independent reported inFebruary the strip of council and pri-

vately owned land was rezoned to res-idential one.

The rezoning went ahead despiteconcerns from VicRoads,Environment Protection Authority,Corangamite Catchment ManagementAuthority and SPI Ausnet.

Avalon dream‘in five years’

Kits to ease childbirth in Third WorldTHIRTY members of Geelong’sZonta women’s association haveassembled 1000 kits to helpwomen survive childbirth inThird World countries.

A Zonta spokesperson saidwomen gathered in Geelong onSaturday to assemble the birthingkit for distribution to 30 countriesto help reduce infections anddeath.

Adelaide-based Zonta memberDr Joy O’Hazy developed the kitas a cheap $3 tool to provideessentials for clean, safe child-birth.

The kits comprise a plastic

sheet, soap, a pair of gloves, asterile scalpel blade, three cordsand five gauze squares.

Kit recipients will be in coun-tries including Kenya, India andAfghanistan.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVERENAVALON Airport will go interna-tional in five years, MelbourneAirport’s chief has conceded.

Chris Woodruff said it was amatter of when, not if, Avalonachieved international status andattracted an overseas carrier.

“I can’t think where else inVictoria an international airlinewould choose to fly into apartfrom Melbourne or Avalon.”

Mr Woodruff conceded interna-tional status for Avalon would“put a wobble” in MelbourneAirport’s passenger forecasts.

“I’ll try and make that not hap-pen by the way,” Mr Woodrufftold a Geelong Business Networkbreakfast.

“Our plan is that people fromthe Geelong region will continueto use Melbourne airport.”

Mr Woodruff admitted publictransport links from regional cen-tres, including Geelong, weredeficient.

“I think my team can put moreeffort into trying to convinceother bus operators to provideservices from Geelong.”

Mr Woodruff said MelbourneAirport serviced 28 million pas-sengers annually, which heexpected to grow to 60 million by2033.

The airport would spend $1 bil-lion on improved roads andaccess, extra terminal space andpossibly a third runway.

Mr Woodruff said road plansincluded direct access toMelbourne Airport from WesternRing Road.

He pushed the case forMelbourne Airport to receive arail link before Avalon.

“When state governments makedecisions about public infrastruc-ture like airport railway linkswe’ll certainly join the debateabout priorities.

“We don’t shy away from ourposition that the need for aMelbourne airport railway link isgreater than Avalon’s.”

Mr Woodruff said MelbourneAirport’s master plan showed anunderground station with a kilo-metre of underground track.

crash, and that risk increases with higher speeds. A pedestrian or cyclist hit by a car at 40 km/h is 75 per cent more likely to survive than if hit at 50 km/h.

Speed cameras are proven to have significantly reduced average speeds and new technology called Intelligent Speed Assist can detect and warn a driver if their vehicle is speeding.

Q1 Do you agree that speed-related road safety should focus on the following:

2. Drink driving and road safetyResearch by Victoria’s road safety agencies shows:

Drink driving is a factor in more than 25 per cent of road fatalities and 11 per cent of serious injuries. Repeat drink drivers make up about 30 per cent of all detected drink drivers.

Drivers with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.15 per cent are 20 times more likely to be involved in a crash than drivers who have not consumed alcohol.

Fitting alcohol interlock devices as a standard feature in all cars in Victoria could save about 50 lives and eliminate 500 serious injuries each year.

Q2 Do you agree that drink driving-related road safety should focus on the following:


NeutralStrongly

3. Pedestrian road safetyResearch by Victoria’s road safety agencies shows:

40 km/h speed limits in school zones, shopping strips and areas of high pedestrian activity have significantly decreased pedestrian road trauma.

Older people, those under 14 years, or those who are drunk are at greatest risk of injury from vehicles.

More than 67 per cent of pedestrians take risks such as not using a pedestrian crossing.

Q3 Do you agree that pedestrian safety should focus on the following:


NeutralStrongly

Increasing the number of pedestrian crossings and other pedestrian facilities 1 2 3 4 5

Increasing policing of unsafe pedestrian road behaviour 1 2 3 4 5

4. Rural and regional road safetyResearch by Victoria’s road safety agencies shows:

People are three times more likely to die in road crashes on rural and regional roads and 40 per cent more likely to be seriously injured than in road crashes in metropolitan Melbourne.

Almost 70 per cent of road fatalities in rural and regional Victoria claim the lives of people who are local residents.

Around one third of all road fatalities on rural and regional roads occur when a single vehicle leaves the road and hits a tree.

Q4 Do you agree that rural and regional road safety should focus on the following:


NeutralStrongly

Agree

Increasing awareness of the safety issues in relation to driving on rural and regional roads 1 2 3 4 5

5. Drug driving and road safetyResearch by Victoria’s road safety agencies shows:

Illegal drugs like cannabis, ecstasy and speed are detected in 15 per cent of Victorian road fatalities.

The abuse of pharmaceutical drugs, such as Valium and Xanax, has been associated with road trauma in Victoria.

95 per cent of cases involving drug driving include drivers with three or more drugs in their system (alcohol, excessive levels of pharmaceutical drugs and/or illicit drugs).

Q5 Do you agree that drug driving enforcement should focus on the following:


NeutralStrongly

Why road safety is important

Victoria has been a world leader in improving road safety, but every week about five people die on our roads and almost 100 are seriously injured.

Ways to reduce the road toll can include tougher penalties, public education campaigns, new technologies in cars, changes to law enforcement or changes in road design.

6. Cyclist road safetyResearch by Victoria’s road safety agencies shows:

The number of journeys made by bicycle is growing by about 10 per cent each year. Bicycle helmets reduce the risk of head injuries by up to 60 per cent, while effective lights

and a reflective vest significantly improve visibility and safety at night. Cyclist crashes most commonly occur at intersections, when leaving a path or driveway to

enter a road, or when a car door is opened in their path. Designated bicycle lanes are a proven safety measure.

Q6 Do you agree that cyclist-related road safety should focus on the following:


NeutralStrongly

Agree

Increasing driver education on how to share the road with cyclists 1 2 3 4 5

Tackling unsafe driving behaviour around cyclists through penalties and enforcement 1 2 3 4 5

Tackling unsafe cycling behaviour through penalties and enforcement 1 2 3 4 5

Requiring cyclists to wear special high visibility clothes 1 2 3 4 5

Increasing the number of separated bike lanes and paths 1 2 3 4 5

7. Young driver road safetyResearch by Victoria’s road safety agencies shows:

Road crashes are the most common cause of death among people aged 16-25, with nearly half of all serious crashes involving young drivers occurring between 10 pm and 7 am.

Young males driving at night on rural and regional roads are the most likely to be involved in a crash.

Young drivers are most at risk of road crash injuries during the first six months of their probationary licence.

Q7 Do you agree that young driver-related road safety should focus on the following:


NeutralStrongly

Agree

Increasing education of young drivers around road safety risks 1 2 3 4 5

Increasing policing of unsafe driving behaviour by young drivers 1 2 3 4 5

Increasing penalties for unsafe driving behaviour by young drivers 1 2 3 4 5

Introducing a night curfew for young drivers 1 2 3 4 5

8. Motorcyclist road safetyResearch by Victoria’s road safety agencies shows:

Motorcyclists make up 1 per cent of road users but account for 16 per cent of all fatalities and serious injuries.

Motorcyclists who do not wear protective clothing are at a higher risk of serious injury. Nearly 60 per cent of speeding motorcyclists do not get fined because speed cameras

are not able to identify them.

Q8 Do you agree that motorcyclist-related road safety should focus on the following:


NeutralStrongly

Agree

Improving education about sharing the road with motorcyclists 1 2 3 4 5

Increasing policing of unsafe behaviour by motorcyclists 1 2 3 4 5

Requiring motorcyclists to wear protective clothing 1 2 3 4 5Requiring motorcycles to have the same level of identification as other vehicles 1 2 3 4 5

9. Heavy vehicle road safetyResearch by Victoria’s road safety agencies shows:

15 per cent of all road fatalities involve a heavy vehicle. The number of heavy vehicles is projected to double by 2025. Compared to cars, fatigue is twice as likely to be the cause of a fatal crash involving

a heavy vehicle. Devices which detect driver fatigue are currently being trialled.

Q9 Do you agree that heavy vehicle-related road safety should focus on the following:


NeutralStrongly

Agree

Increasing driver education about sharing the road with heavy vehicles 1 2 3 4 5

Increasing road safety education for heavy vehicle drivers 1 2 3 4 5

Requiring heavy vehicles to be fitted with devices that can detect driver fatigue 1 2 3 4 5

Increasing policing of heavy vehicle driver road behaviour (such as tailgating) 1 2 3 4 5

10. Using vehicle technology to improve road safetyResearch by Victoria’s road safety agencies shows:

In Australia, new and used cars are given safety ratings. New cars are rated under the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP). The least safe cars are given a one-star rating with the safest cars given a five-star rating. However, Australian cars are not required by law to offer all the same safety features as some overseas models.

People involved in a crash in a car with a low safety rating are twice as likely to be injured than those in a safer car, while young drivers, who are most at risk of crashing, tend to drive less safe cars.

Company fleet vehicles are a major source of private second hand vehicles. Policies that require companies to buy vehicles with a high safety rating benefit the company, its employees and improve the safety standard of the second hand market.

Q10 Do you agree that vehicle technology-related road safety should focus on the following:


NeutralStrongly

Agree

Increasing driver education about the star safety rating scheme 1 2 3 4 5

Encouraging fleet owners to purchase cars with a five-star safety rating 1 2 3 4 5

Encouraging car manufacturers to incorporate all available safety technologies into their Australian models

1 2 3 4 5

Providing incentives to encourage people to purchase cars with higher star safety ratings, especially younger drivers

1 2 3 4 5

11. Older driver road safetyResearch by Victoria’s road safety agencies shows:

In 2011, 14 per cent of all drivers killed on Victoria’s roads were aged 75 years and over. Because older drivers are sometimes frailer they are also more likely to be seriously injured in a crash.

Victorian drivers over 75 years are required to renew their licence every three years, while younger drivers need only to renew every 10 years.

Requiring older drivers to be fully retested or have medical examinations when renewing their licence has not been proven to decrease road accidents.

Q11 Do you agree that older driver-related road safety should focus on the following:


NeutralStrongly

Agree

Educating older drivers on how to assess if they are safe to continue driving 1 2 3 4 5

Improving the visibility of road signs and making road features less complicated 1 2 3 4 5

Providing more alternative transport options for older people 1 2 3 4 5

Providing information to older drivers about the safety benefits of cars with five-star safety ratings 1 2 3 4 5

12. Transport Accident CommissionThe Transport Accident Commission (TAC) has a responsibility to work with

the Victorian community to reduce road trauma and support those it affects.

Funding used by the TAC to perform these functions comes from payments made by Victorian motorists when they register their vehicles each year with VicRoads.

Each year the TAC develops a range of road safety campaigns and initiatives to promote road safety and reduce the cost to the Victorian community of compensation for transport accidents.

Q12 Do you agree that TAC-related road safety should focus on the following:


NeutralStrongly

Agree

The TAC’s media campaigns influence how I drive 1 2 3 4 5Shock-style road safety campaigns get my attention 1 2 3 4 5

Educational-style road safety campaigns would help improve my driving 1 2 3 4 5

The TAC’s sports sponsorships help to reinforce road safety messages 1 2 3 4 5

13. Other issues on our roadsWe seek your views on the following areas of driver behaviour.

Q13 Please indicate how strongly you agree with each of the following statements:


NeutralStrongly

Agree

Drivers failing to keep left or travelling too far below the speed limit are a problem on our roads 1 2 3 4 5

Texting while driving should lead to tougher penalties 1 2 3 4 5Repeat hoon / drink drivers should face longer bans from driving or owning a car 1 2 3 4 5

Speed cameras and red light cameras are well targeted to high risk areas 1 2 3 4 5

I frequently encounter tailgating and intimidating driver behaviour 1 2 3 4 5

Fines for cyclists who disobey road rules should be the same as fines for motorists 1 2 3 4 5

Build it and they will come to cityCR ROD MacDonald was onthe money about “latent”demand for medium-priceproperties in inner-Geelong(Independent, September 7).

Increased accommodation isbeing planned for DeakinUniversity students and vari-ous highly priced apartmentdevelopments are on the way.

In August 2011 City ofgreater Geelong accepted areport that proposed that a“demonstration project” toshowcase shop-top living incentral Geelong be initiated inorder to stimulate development

in central Geelong. Was theproject actually carried out?

For ordinary young couplesstarting out or for suburban-ites wishing to downsize, thereis little on offer in the way ofaffordable inner-city housing.

Council might want to lookat streamlining the planningprocess for conversion orbuilding of top-shop dwellings.

I suspect it would truly be acase of build-it-and-they-will-come.

Jeannette JohansonNorth GeelongCity living: Rod Macdonald.

Damage not artI READ with interest Noel Murphy’s story head-lined ‘Children dicing with death’ (Independent,September 7).

I did, however, take great umbrage in his descrip-tion of graffiti vandals as “graffiti artists”.

These vandals cause millions of dollars worth ofdamage to private and publicly owned assets in ourstate each year, so to validate their uninvited damageas art was totally incorrect.

I believe that my views would be echoed by allGeelong residents who take pride in our city. I askthat the Independent rectify this error and preventany repeat in future publications.

No matter whether this obnoxious scrawl appearson derelict buildings, railway rolling stock or road-side furniture, it is by definition vandalism and, assuch, remains unacceptable in our community.Tony DuffieldLeopold

No tea with TonyIF SARAH Henderson wants all of us to vote for herin the next federal election why, when she broughtTony Abbott to “morning tea” at Grovedale, did sheinvite my husband but not me (Independent,September 7)?

Bureaucracy killsTWO NEWS items featured on TV programs drewattention to unintended consequences of regula-tion/over-regulation in today’s society.

Institutionalisation of decision making throughthe use of protocols in businesses may be observedin the account of the crash of an aero-medical jetinto the ocean in 2009 and in the events leading tothe decision of Queensland’s Premier to trial a newprotocol for providing assistance to people with dis-abilities.

The aircraft captain’s decision leading to thecrash was made on the back of decisions dictated byflight protocols for that work, which were subsumedinto safety-related protocols.

The institutionalisation of decision makingthrough use of normal protocols operating in normalsituations might hinder the exercise of freedom ofchoice in choosing optimum solutions to one-offproblems.

The Queensland Government’s trial of de-institu-tionalising provision of disability benefits to handi-capped persons by transferring freedom of choicefrom institutions to the person subject to the benefitmight bypass some regulatory constraints imposedby protocol.

An observer of limitations of Britain’s healthscheme summarised his own Gammon’s Law as:Stealthily lethal bureaucracy slowly but surely kills.

To quote A Zalesnik: “The major defect of thebureaucratic approach is the inability to separate thevital from the trivial”.

The effect of unintended consequences on demo-cratic government operations might explain theapparent failures of such governments in which theactivities of critical analyses of protocols might beincorrectly dismissed as the influence of negativebias, based on caprice or cult. Marion Jones Drysdale

Bad governmentI BELIEVE that the Victorian Government is badfor cutting funding from the state’s TAFE schools.

I have been at Gordon TAFE in Geelong for quitesome time and consider it my home and work tokeep me going. I go to TAFE twice a week.

If the Government succeeds in making cuts toTAFE funding it will result in many students losingtheir opportunity to find employment as well as putteaching staff out of jobs.

I believe that Gordon TAFE is part of Geelongand we need to fight to keep the institution operat-ing.

The people of Geelong should protest this deci-sion to cut funding from TAFE schools. Brian PorterSouth Geelong

Collateral damageREGARDING the letter headlined ‘Showered inpoison’ in the August 31 Independent, ElaineValentine’s health problems caused by fluoride inour water are shared by others suffering similarly toa greater or lesser degree.

All have been ignored by the autocratic, unfeelingfools responsible for fluoridation.

Unfortunately, those who perpetrated the poison-ing of our water while claiming it is perfectly safecover their backsides with legislation shielding themfrom accountability.

If their claims were factual why would they needlitigation protection? The adage ‘Put your moneywhere your mouth is’ obviously lacks appeal.

This is government of the people for God knowswho and by the government but why?

With every issue of newspapers concern isexpressed about increasingly poor dental healthdespite most of our population being on fluoridesince the 1980s. Shouldn’t it have worked by now?

How long do we have to wait before this expen-sive experiment is deemed a failure, abandoned and

more-common-sense measures are adopted? Then our sufferers might begin to recover from

the collateral damage inflicted by this unscientific,unethical, coercive, harmful and costly toxic wastedisposal program.Peter MackinlayGeelong

Protest, votersLAST week’s Independent published several lettersand stories of great relevance and interest.

I congratulate the Independent on publishingthese views and write in support of them.

Colin Wallace wrote that councillor StretchKontelj saw money as the key issue in mayoral elec-tions. I agree that the mayor is not the CEO of acompany but has responsibility to a range of peopleand communities.

Sandra Camm pointed out that the environmentalvalues of Corio Bay and Eastern Park were ignoredand subordinated to development. When are govern-ments going to realise that privatisation is not work-ing for people?

Then there was the couple from Melbourne whocame to Rippleside with the promise of a lifestylethat had not eventuated.

Philip West objected to an increase in councilrates. These increases are an example of lowincome-earners and pensioners hit with increasesthey cannot easily pay.

These issues were all related and implied theincumbent mayor and many councillors lack empa-thy for the average resident. Council is good at onething - taking money from people.

Parking fees, permit fees, tip fees, fines et ceterago into the pocket of council to the detriment oftraders, shoppers, residents and visitors.

Council is selling off Geelong to developers andbuilders for the short-term gain of planning fees and

the longer-term prospect of increasing the rateablevalue of land.

I urge Geelong residents to exercise their demo-cratic rights and register their protest by not re-elect-ing Mayor John Mitchell.Ann WebbNorlane

Finally FridayWhittington’syoung talentsin showdown

A coupleof musos YOUNG Whittington performers will

battle this weekend for a chance to per-form for the public at their suburb’sannual community festival.

A council spokesperson said the bestperformers in Saturday’s Whittington’sGot Talent auditions at Bellarine Livingand Learning Centre would appear inFlamefest on October 26.

Advocates 4 Youth, a group of youngpeople from Whittington and surround-ing suburbs, is staging the talent quest.

Mayor John Mitchell said the eventencouraged young performers to “bebrave and share their talents”.

“It can be a daunting task to get upand perform in front of a big group ofpeople but I encourage those consider-ing trying out to be courageous and justgive it a shot,” he said.

This event is a unique and fun way toget our young people involved in com-munity activities and meeting otherlocals.

“Last year Whittington’s Got Talentwas a huge success, with plenty ofentrants with great talents, which iswhy we’ve got it happening again.”

Cr Mitchell thanked Advocates 4Youth for its work organising the talentquest.

“I’m sure it’s going to be a greatshow when the finalists go head to headat the fantastic Flamefest in October.”

BY CHERIE DONNELLANCOUNTRY-pop singer KaseyChambers joked that after releas-ing one duet album with husbandShane Nicholson they should havelearned “not to do it again”.

But when the Independent metChambers and Nicholson theywere the picture of marital bliss.

“We’re just like any couplereally. We have a normal familylife,” Chambers smiled.

The couple will perform inGeelong next month after releas-ing a second duet album, Wreckand Ruin, last week.

Nicholson joked the albumgave them a chance to “get awayfrom work by working”.

Chambers agreed, saying thealbum allowed them to play musicthat would be otherwise beyondtheir solo careers.

“We had to make it different tonot only distinguish ourselvesfrom our solo sounds but so it’smore fun for us,” she added.

Nicholson told the Independentwriting the songs was a case of“trial and error” but the recordingprocess was fast.

“We spent seven days in the

studio and recorded it live,” hesaid.

“We had a great bunch of musi-cians so that helped.”

Nicholson described the record-making process as a mixture “sci-ence and soulfulness”.

But the “soulfulness has to takeover”, he said.

“When we were recording youcan hear us finish playing a songand say ‘Well, that’s not the one’because it wasn’t technicallyright,” he reminisced.

“But then we played it backlater and chose that recordingbecause it just felt right.”

Chambers said much of the newalbum was about exploring thecouple’s downfalls but it helped toplay music with her husband.

“When we write songs like TilDeath Do Us Part, that songmeans something to us and I thinkit helps the soul of the music.”

Nicholson interjected: “I thinkour fans definitely notice andappreciate our honest connection,musically and in life”.

Chambers and Nicholson playGeelong Performing Arts Centre’sPlayhouse on October 25.

Coupled: Kasey Chambers and husband Shane Nicholson play Geelong nextmonth.

Russian tolocal showBY CHERIE DONNELLAN

CLASSIC Russianbeauties will float intoGeelong next Fridaydressed in tutus andpointe shoes.

Ballet directorGediminas Taranda was“excited” to bring hisrendition of SleepingBeauty to Geelong.

“This is a very classi-cal regional story,”Taranda told theIndependent, “but I havecreated some new cho-reography to boost thisclassical performance.”

Taranda joked hewould spare audienceshaving to sit through theoriginal SleepingBeauty’s four-and-a-half-hour performance.

His produciton wouldcomprise three acts oftwo and a half hours“but with breaks”.

“People are very busythese days with familyand work but this showallows families to spendtime together.”

Taranda reminiscedabout an Australian fam-ily impressing him withtheir “appreciation ofclassical ballet” duringhis last tour.

“They told me theirlives were busy butwhen they go to the bal-let it was like opening awindow and smellingfresh air. That made mesmile.”

Taranda said histroupe of 45 dancers hadworked hard to preparefor the performances.

“Before we came herethe dancers had eight-hour rehearsals everyday. It takes a lot ofpractice to perfect theperformance.

Taranda’s ImperialRussian Ballet Companywill perform at GeelongPerforming Arts Centreon September 21.

From Russia with love: Imperial RussianBallet dancers in action.

BY ERIC BLAIR

Honda Accord is quality Japanese carthat has an excellent reputation inAustralia for quality and reliability.

First sold here in 1977 it grew in size overyears from a small-medium to a medium-fam-ily car. But as it grew it also became rather softand conservative.

To counter this Honda made the astute deci-sion to offer two different Accord models withdistinctly different driving characteristics.One, called Accord Euro, has a real emphasison sporty handling, the other, just calledAccord retained the gentler feel.

Accord Euro lives up to its name in the han-dling department with precise communicativesteering and plenty of road grip.

Driving enthusiasts don't necessarily wantcars with look-at-me styling and the design ofthe Accord Euro remains conservative.Changes include a new two-bar grille in placeof the previous three-bar version, re-sculpturedfront bumper, foglight surrounds and ventila-tion apertures. The rear lights are of softer redand there is now a chrome strip on the boot lid.

Inside there’s a new satin-finish on the doorhandles, console, steering wheel and otherinterior components while an anti-dust featurehas been applied to the cloth trim of the basemodel.

Accord Euro comes in three grades, the basemodel just called Euro, the higher-specced

models called Luxury and Luxury Navi. Standard features include front, side and

curtain airbags, ABS brakes with electronicbrakeforce distribution and emergency brakeassist, rear parking sensors, Bluetooth controlson the steering wheel, foldaway key,USB/iPod connectivity, Trailer Stability Assistauto headlights and rain-sensing wipers andthe option of 18-inch alloy wheels. The range-topping Luxury Navi has bi-HID headlightswith automatic low/high beam and a corneringfunction which operates at speeds up to 40km/h.

The Accord Euro Luxury also gets a pow-ered driver’s seat with two memory settings,heated front seats, front parking sensors, sun-roof, fog lights, headlight washers and auto-dimming rear vision mirror.

As the name suggests, the Accord LuxuryNavi model comes with satellite navigation aswell as a reversing camera.

The base model Honda Euro comes with 17-inch wheels as well as a full-size spare. Thetwo Luxury models have 18-inch wheels andspace saver spares.

There’s good interior space, with the level ofleg, elbow and headroom that you’d expectfrom a larger car. However, as is generally thecase, the sunroof that comes standard in theLuxury models does reduce front seat head-room, so try it out during your test drive.

Space: Room withthe level of leg,elbow and headroomthat you’d expectfrom a larger car.

Comfort: On the roadthere’s a nice balancebetween road feel andride comfort.

- continued from page 39

fridaymotor

Boot capacity in all models is amoderate 467 litres, so there’s no addi-tional capacity from the use of spacesaver wheels in the Luxury variants.

All Accord Euro models come withthe same 2.4-litre four-cylinderengine. While it’s not as refined as thesix-cylinder units that most of its com-petitors use it comes surprisinglyclose.

Maximum power of 148 kilowattscomes in at high 7000 rpm, as does thetorque peak of 234 Newton metres (at4300 rpm), although there’s decentpulling power at all revs over 2000. Itwill cruise comfortably at steady revsfrom 1500 in the interests of minimis-ing fuel use and carbon dioxide output,but you have to change down a gear,sometimes two, if you want to get theengine back into the middle part of thetorque band.

A diesel engine is available overseasbut to date has not been taken up byHonda Australia.

Our test car came with the five-speed automatic with the convenienceof steering wheel mounted paddleshifts. Unusually for cars in this class,but appropriate for the Euro’s sportingbent, there’s also the option of a slicksix-speed manual in the base andLuxury models. We’ve driven this inprevious models and it’s a real delightto use, particularly when you remem-ber that this sporty sedan is driven bythe front wheels.

On the road there’s a nice balancebetween road feel and ride comfortthat allows the Accord Euro to beequally at home in both urban andrural conditions. There’s less tyrenoise through the suspension oncoarse-chip surfaces than in manyother cars aimed at the European mar-ket.

Steering is precise and responsivewith a well-balanced road grip thatmakes it a real pleasure to drive. Thealready good feeling of body and sus-pension strength has been furtherimproved with the introduction ofHonda’s Advanced CompatibilityEngineering (ACE) chassis thatabsorbs and actively channels crashenergy away from passengers.

Official fuel consumption figuresare marginally down on the previousmodel, at 8.7 litres per 100 kilometreson the combined test with the manualgearbox, 8.5 L/100 km with the auto-matic. We found ourselves sitting veryclose to these numbers during our test,something which is not always thecase when comparing factory testswith real life conditions.

The other good news is that thestrength of the Aussie dollar has meantthat prices have been cut, with theentry level Accord Euro now just atouch over $30,000.

Great value for a well-equipped,spacious car that’s also a lot of fun todrive.

Coutas, Panthers set for gloryQUEENSCLIFF will be out to make it two BellarineFootball League premierships in a row when it takeson Torquay at Drysdale Recreation Reserve onSaturday.

The ladder didn’t lie this year, with these sides sit-ting one and two for most of the season.

Queenscliff will go in as favourite because it hasonly lost one game for the year and has accountedfor the Tigers each time they’ve met.

A few seasons back you would never have dreamtthat the Coutas would win a premiership again letalone be in a position to win two in a row.

Coach Tom Limb only took over the reigns thisyear and was on a hiding to nothing but he hasproved more than capable.

Having outstanding players in Dan Measures,Steve Owen, Nick and Luke Orvis plus boom recruitDan Degois places the side in a good position but alot of the credit has to go to the coach and theadministration down at Queenscliff.

Torquay has had a good season for new coachesCraig McCaughan and Mick MacFarlene and theirexperience on and off the field has benefitted all at

the club.The Tigers only lost to the Couta’s by 11 points in

the second semi-final and know they’re in with a realshow on Saturday.

Finals series are littered with upset results butQueenscliff has done everything right so far andshould win a thriller.

Torquay and Ocean Grove plays off in the reserves,while West Saints and Bell Park kick off the day inthe colts division two grand final.

GDFLGeelong and District Football league also plays its

grand final on Saturday, with Bell Post Hill and East

Geelong clashing at St Alban’s Reserve.Bell Post Hill is after three flags in a row and is

playing its fifth consecutive grand final.To say it has finals experience is an understate-

ment. It also has fine players in Brad Martin, ChrisMoreland, Justin Tarr and Cameron Addie.

The Panthers have led the competition all year andwill go is as favourites.

East Geelong has come from fifth spot on the lad-der and is in red-hot form.

By most peoples reckoning, Bell Post Hill is thebest side in the league followed by Thomson and thenBannockburn yet the Eagles belted Bannockburn inthe first semi-final and followed that up by floggingThomson in last week’s preliminary final.

It definitely has a chance in this one, with SimonPrymke, Ryan Closter, Lucas Murphy, AndrewChallis and Jesse Mawson in season-best form justwhen it counts.

This promises to go down to the wire, with BellPost Hill to just hang on.

North Geelong and Bell Post hill play off in thereserves, while Inverleigh and North Geelong play

the division three grand final of the colt’s competitionat 9.30am.

GFLSt Joseph’s and Bell Park meet at Simonds Stadium

on Saturday in Geelong Football League’s prelimi-nary final.

The winner advances to next weekend’s grand finalwhere South Barwon awaits.

Joeys was pretty ordinary last weekend and wouldwant to improve markedly to win this one becauseBell Park is in ominous form as it looks to defend itspremiership title.

This improvement is possible because AndrewLovick, Cam Johnston, Dan Lovick, Dale Carson andRussel Robertson are class acts and will rally thetroops on Saturday.

There is a lot to like about the structure of BellPark, with two good big men in Zane Vail andLachlan Kennedy plus the pace of Tim Sheringhamand Tyler Stack around the packs.

In yet another close final it will be Joeys by a smallmargin.

Anglers look to this weekend for respite from wind and big swells

STRONG wind kept most anglers indoors over thepast week, while big swells added further limits tochasing salmon down the coast.

Both the wind and seas are forecast to abate thisweekend, so salmon captures should be viablefrom the deep water rock platforms between Lorneand Apollo Bay. Expect lure to be the most pro-ductive method.

The strong winds played havoc on the bays, dis-colouring the water to generally reduce captures.However, anglers who put in the hard yards report-ed some quality results.

Tanner Webb drifted the outer-harbour spoilgrounds with soft plastics, finding a few nice snap-per. Most averaged around 35cm but two were justover 2kg.

Salmon were found close in at Alcoa Pier wherecasting soft plastics into the surface activity result-ed in reasonable numbers of 1kg fish.

The fishing improved in the Fisherman’s Pierarea as the week progresses, with snapper makingup the majority of captures. Most fished wereabout 30cm, with better specimens nudging 40cm.

Stuart Giddings put in a few hours on the snap-per at North Shore rocks on Monday night, land-ing two fish better than 3.5kg on fresh squid.

Paul Jeffries also fished Corio Bay on Mondaynight, finding the snapper willing to bite andreturning with three to 4.1kg. Paul said he foundplenty of fish on his sounder, especially betweenRoyal Geelong Yacht Club and Western Beach.

John Uwland found the snapper off Clifton

anglers trying to avoid the harsh conditions.Lake Bullen Merri hosted shore-based anglers

who caught small rainbows on Powerbait, with theodd bigger fish caught on lure.

Anyone prepared to fish this water after dark withlocal gudgeon can expect to land big brown trout.Terry Forbes did well after dark this week, with hisbiggest fish weighing in at a handsome 3.1kg.

Deep Lake hosted few anglers, with only a smallnumber of newly released fish taken on Powerbaitand worms.

Many anglers headed to the streams looking for abrown trout, me included. Fishing the Leigh Riverjust downstream of Shelford, the high and dis-coloured water was perfect for working lures but Ionly managed to grass two small fish.

Nick Whelan also fished his local streams wherehis Rapala lures turned out to be a great choice whenhe landed a beautifully marked wild brown trout.

Adam Van Der Lugt recently headed to the highcountry streams. With the trout opening in fullswing and the rivers running clear, any number ofbrown trout were to be had on both fly and lure.

It seems the best freshwater captures this weekwere all taken by anglers working the many streamswe have on offer.

With the best snapper fishing period upon us, nowis the time to hit the water off Clifton Spring. Lookto the area near the bend in the channel.

Don’t fish too close to the channel line becausethe fish will be working the banks.

Wilson Spit and The Chair are also well worth afew hours, especially this weekend. Fish the after-noon run-off from high tide with pilchard or freshsquid for bait.

Soft plastics anglers should drift over the roughterrain near Wilson Spit.

The best freshwater option this weekend will beLake Tooliorook. Powerbait fished from the shoreshould be ideal, while boat anglers should enjoy thebest results using small, deep diving bibbed lures.

Springs before the heavy winds set in. This area isrenowned for being one of the most consistent loca-tions for a big snapper over the coming months.

St Leonards should start to fire up again thisweekend after the water has cleared. Anglers shouldlook for whiting in around three metres of water.

Anyone seeking flathead should try in depthsfrom 10m to 15m.

Squid have been extremely patchy recently, withthe better results coming to anglers fishing close into Duck Island at the mouth of Swan Bay.Squid numbers were also good on the opposite sideof the bay near Portsea. By all accounts, this areawas producing well on the run-up to high tide, espe-cially for anglers using dark coloured jigs.

Freshwater results were also down, with many
