Nelson school squeeze‘Penny-pinching’ to hurt disabled studentsBY MICHELLE HERBISON

GEELONG’S intellectually dis-abled senior students will be leftwithout enough space after StateGovernment acquires their Coriocampus mid-year, according totheir principal.

Di Leverett said the NelsonPark School community disagreedwith an Education Departmentdecision that enough room wasavailable to accommodate the year10 to 12 students in the school’smain campus at Bell Park.

She believed the main campuswould be insufficient for 340 stu-

The department had undertakena detailed assessment of enrol-ments in the area, he said

“The Nelson Park site has suit-able classroom space to accommo-date the school’s senior students.”

The education department said itencouraged schools to developspecific programs for their stu-dents.

A spokesperson said the depart-ment would allow Nelson Park tooperate student programs outsidethe school.

“We will ensure students arehoused in an appropriate facility”

dents if the 85 from Corio arrived. The school council was desper-

ately seeking an alternative sitefor the senior students with littlehelp from the department, MsLeverett said.

Nelson Park senior studentsstudied at Corio’s former FlindersPeak Secondary College campusfor less than a year before thedepartment ordered them to move.

Ms Leverett said the senior stu-

dents needed their own space anda stable school environment.

“A third of our students areautistic and all have complex andchallenging needs.

“We don’t want to have multi-ple moves because stability is soimportant for them. The last threeyears of school are about develop-ing the students to be independentwith more emphasis on socialskills and self-management than

mainstream schools.” Ms Leverett said Nelson Park’s

enrolments had nearly doubled insix years.

“If the school keeps growinglike that Bell Park won’t cater forour growth.”

Labor Member for Lara JohnEren accused the Government of“penny-pinching” at the expenseof special-needs children.

“For them to basically close

this school down without listeningto the school community is as lowas you can get for a governmentscraping the bottom of the barreland it’s just wrong.

“I know what they’re trying todo. They’ll empty Flinders Peakto sell to developers and get thecash out of them.”

A spokesman for EducationMinister Martin Dixon backed theeducation department’s decision.

BY ERIN PEARSONTWENTY specially trained police have swoopedon Corio like a scene from TV show Rush.

Police said the Operational Response Unit(ORU) members were on a mission to fight crimeand increase safety.

First Constable Simon Woodhouse said theunit, on which the TV series was based, aimed tobe “highly visible” during its brief deployments.

The officers attended public order dutiesincluding alcohol-related violence, assaults andthefts, Const Woodhouse said.

They also visited Corio Shopping Centre andother public spaces to restore confidence amongresidents after the burned body of Drysdale’sRussell Hammond was discovered on a vacantblock earlier this month. Police have charged twomen with his murder.

“We’re here to engage with people out andabout and talk to them about their concerns aswell as attend call-outs,” Const Woodhouse said.

“It’s important that communities know they’renot forgotten about when crimes put them on thenews.

“We’re mindful of these impacts on residents.”

MP ‘win’ overpokie strategy

BY JOHN VAN KLAVERENCLUBS Australia’s campaignagainst pokie reforms in Geelonghas backfired badly, according toCorangamite MP Darren Cheese-man.

Mr Cheeseman said he contin-ued to be a “strong supporter” ofpoker machine reforms despitereports of a Gillard Governmentbackdown on proposed mandato-ry pre-commitment laws.

“The feedback in Corangamiteand greater Geelong region is thatthe clubs’ campaign has beenentirely counterproductive,” hesaid.

“Every dollar the clubs spenton campaigning in our region hasseen support for poker machinereforms grow.

“We have a different culture toNew South Wales and electors

strongly back reform. The morethey campaign, the stronger thesupport for reform grows.”

Mr Cheeseman challengedClubs Australia to continue thecampaign.

“Bring it on,” he declared.“The people of Corangamite

can recognise naked self-interest.This campaign has backfired.

“I’m a strong supporter of pokiereforms because of the fact that 40per cent of gambling revenuecomes from problem gamblers.

“The Government position isthat we want to undertake reformsthat will be effective. We want tomake sure there are thorough tri-als undertaken of mandatory precommitment, likely to happenacross the ACT.

“I’d like to see both mandatorypre-commitment and maximum

$1 bets implemented.”A Clubs Victoria rally at

Buckley’s Entertainment Centrelate last year targeted MrCheeseman’s marginal electorate.

Geelong and District FootballLeague president Neville Whitleysaid the Government’s apparentpokies backdown suggested themarginal seat tactic “seems tohave worked”.

A Clubs Australia spokesmansaid the marginal seats campaignwould continue.

“Some of the reports will be onthe mark and some wide of themark but the campaign will con-tinue while it is government poli-cy,” he said.

“The campaign has left somegovernment MPs in an awkwardsituation and that’s bad news forthem.”

in brief’Copter deathA MARSHALL man has died in a gyrocopter crashin central Victoria.

Police said investigations were continuing intothe crash that killed Robert ‘Bob’ Brockbank atMangalore on Saturday.

Corio ‘hot’CORIO is among the “hottest” 50 suburbs for prop-erty investment in Australia, according to a newreport.

Smart Property Investment Fast 50 report contrib-utor Todd Hunter said prices would begin rising inCorio as investors started reacting to the suburb’s“attractive yields”.

River boostAUTHORITIES will flush 40 million litres of reser-voir water down the Moorabool River to enhancefish habitat, the region’s catchment managementbody has announced.

Corangamite Catchment Management Authoritysaid the water from Lal Lal Reservoir would flowover 10 days from Monday as part of the river’sentitlement to 7.5 billion litres over three years.

Game hopeTHE AFL will “look at” giving Simonds Stadium anextra game in 2014, according to Geelong Cats chiefBrian Cook.

Mr Cook said the extra match would be “great” forthe city, with a study estimating each AFL game inGeelong pumped $3 million into its economy.

Sails hoA “VERY respectable” fleet of 316 yachts hasentered Geelong’s Festival of Sails, according toorganisers.

Event manager Jav Greaves said the numberscould go “even higher”, with organisers allowinglate entries for the week-long festival beginning thisweekend.

Councils’ cashA FUNDING boost of almost $4.4 million will helpGeelong and Surf Coast councils pay for infrastruc-ture projects, South Barwon MP Andrew Katos hasannounced.

He said Geelong would gain $1.5 million for itslaneways revitalisation and Elcho drainage projects,while $2.4 million would go to Surf Coast Shire forits $40 million “community and civic precinct”.

Illegal burns put heaton safety, warns CFA

‘Shame file’ listsMP for expenses

BY JOHN VAN KLAVERENFEDERAL Member for Corio Richard Marles isamong 82 parliamentarians who failed to verifyexpense claims, according to a Department ofFinance “name-and-shame” list.

The list included opposition leader Tony Abbott,Attorney-General Nicola Roxon, ImmigrationMinister Chris Bowen and wealthy opposition back-bencher Malcolm Turnbull.

The department expects MPs to verify expenseclaims against their own accounts every six months.

The department released the list for the first timethis week.

Verifying accounts is non-compulsory but aSenate Estimates hearing recommended “namingand shaming’’ in the interests of transparency.

“Parliamentarians are asked to certify that theirentitlements usage was in accordance with the pro-visions legislated for each respective entitlement.

“Commencing from the period January to June2011, information regarding parliamentarians’ certifi-cation of their entitlements usage will be published,”the department website said.

BY ERIN PEARSONGEELONG firefighters fearillegal burn-offs could sparkmajor blazes across the regionas January continues to heatup, according to CFA regionaloperations manager GerryVerdoorn.

Mr Verdoorn said the CFAhad been called to more than adozen illegal burn-offs sinceBoxing Day.

“A majority of our person-nel in the CFA are volunteers,so they’re leaving their fami-lies and work to deal with firesthey shouldn’t have to dealwith. They’re being called outunnecessarily,” he said.

“Most people committingthis are absent land ownerswho return over the summerperiod to their holiday homesand want to clean up.”

Boxing Day marked thestart of an annual fire seasonlaw requiring council permitsfor burn-offs.

A Gnarwarre CFA crew nar-rowly escaped death earlier thismonth when its tanker becamestuck while responding to agrassfire at Stonehaven.

Mr Verdoorn said the CFAbelieved embers from an ear-lier burn-off ignited the blaze.

“When people burn rubbishthey end up with a pile of ashwhere hot embers remain forweeks if not months,” he said.

“A crust forms over the ashand actually insulates the heat,

so on a windy day live emberscan blow away and spark fires.

“People must ensure thisdoesn’t happen, it’s too late tobe burning now.”

Geelong Weather Service’sLindsay Smail said Geelongwas in for a typically hot sum-mer with less than average rain.

“This is always a bad time

of year for fires and being ontrack for an average summerthe risks are certainly there,”Mr Smail said.

“There probably won’t be

much more rain until we getinto February.”

Chain intalks forbig store

Armstrong Creek:

1000 competitors herefor 2012 Deaf Games

BY JOHN VAN KLAVERENA NATIONAL chain is planninga major hardware and home-wares store at ArmstrongCreek’s Keystone BusinessPark, according to its director.

Trent Keirnan said the storewould cover 40,000 squaremetres.

He called the prospectiveanchor tenant a “national hard-ware/homewares operator”.

“We’re well advanced indetailed discussions with majortenants,” Mr Keirnan said.

The homemaker precinct, onArmstrong Creek’s arterialBarwon Heads Rd, would beKeystone’s first stage for release.

Mr Keirnan said other tenantswould include furniture, electri-cal, plumbing goods, hardware,computing and bedding retailers.

The centre would comple-ment a range of Bunnings andMitre 10 stores in the region.

A Woolworths spokespersonconfirmed the company wasseeking a Geelong site for itsnew Masters hardware andhomewares chain.

“Market testing has identifiedthe need for a full-line home-maker centre,” Mr Keirnan said.

“We think Keystone will endup with the most substantial

homemaker centre in the region,servicing southern Geelong, theBellarine and Surf Coast.

“Our location right on existingand future arterial roads meanscustomers will have easy access.

“The fact we’re only a 10minute walk from MarshallStation opens up public trans-port options that other locationssimply don’t have.

“About one-quarter ofGeelong’s residents now traveloutside the municipality foremployment. Keystone isdesigned to prevent 10 per centof that leakage growth.”

Mr Keirnan said a trade sup-plies area “with excellentKeystone Ave frontage” wasalso planned.

Keystone’s office park wouldoffer flexible, high-qualityoffice space with a “diverserange of mixed business andindustry land”, he said.

Other elements would includea village shopping heart, openspace parklands, pedestrian andcycle trails, an entertainmenthub and other retail services.

Mr Keirnan said sales of thefirst stage of 40 lots over 34hectares began last week.

The first stage could providejobs for up to 2000, he said.

BY ERIN PEARSONMORE than 1000 hearing-impaired athletes competed ina 2012 Deaf Games in Geelongthis week, according to organ-isers.

Deaf Sports Australia’s CraigDodson said competitors fromAustralia, New Zealand, Samoaand Fiji competed in 18 events.

This year’s games were thefirst to include surfing, withtraditional events includingcricket, soccer, swimming, ath-letics, beach volleyball andtennis.

“Beach volleyball was cer-tainly a standout sport this

year, with more than 50 com-petitors taking part,” MrDodson said.

“We had huge interest fromthe community as well, with amassive amount of peoplewalking by stopping to watch.”

Mr Dodson said the eventwas “extra special” for com-petitors, many of whom mettheir husbands and wives atpast games.

“It’s a very rare occurrencethat you get 1000 members ofthe deaf community together inone place.”

The games finish onSaturday.

Barking mad over dog houseTenant defends right to eight dogs

BY ERIN PEARSONA HOUSEHOLD with eight noisydogs is driving Whittington resi-dents to breaking point, accordingto a neighbour.

Terry Anderson said his familyhad been seeking council action onthe tenants’ “barking and vicious”dogs for two years.

Council bylaws allow a maxi-mum two dogs or cats per dwellingin residential areas.

Mr Anderson said the dogs haddriven his family to tears.

“The neighbours moved in withtwo dogs and then acquired a thirddog before they began breedingand now we’re left living next doorto eight,” he said.

“This has been going on foryears and council hasn’t done any-thing about it.

“I’m a dog lover and to see theirJack Russells fighting to the point

where they bleed is so distressing.”Mr Anderson said he made his

latest complaint to council inDecember almost two years afterhis initial objection.

A statement from City of GreaterGeelong said it was “aware ofissues” at the Solar Dve property.

The statement failed to respondto Mr Anderson’s allegation ofinaction.

City acting community laws andcompliance coordinator GregMead said council officers wouldvisit the property to determinewhether the dog owners hadbreached bylaws.

Mr Mead said the visit wouldinclude a welfare check on animalsat the property.

Owners can apply for a permitunder council’s Local Law andDomestic Animals Act to housemore than two cats or dogs.

Mr Mead said council consid-ered permit applications on a“case-by-case” basis.

The dogs’ owner, NarelleRoughley, defended keeping somany pets in her public housinghome.

Ms Roughley accused herneighbours of unfair treatmentover the past two years.

“We all have compassion fornature and life but ever since Imoved into this house I’ve hadtrouble with the neighbours.

“My son and I have alwaysloved animals. Most of the ones wehave were homeless and we’vetaken them in.

“I want them all to have a goodhome.”

Ms Roughley said she plannedto obtain a permit to keep five dogsand eventually find new homes forthe other three.

Ben and Tom’s parents, Sam

and Paul, will also take part inGeelong Multi Sport Festival,making the event a family affair.

Sam said she and Paul hadcompeted in triathlons for years.

“The boys think it’s normal togo along and watch us compete.It’ll be a bit different when it’s uswatching them participate,” shelaughed.

Ben and Tom said they hopedto convince a few of theirNewtown Primary School class-mates to join in as well.

Ben said he was also a veteran ofRun Geelong, a “really fun” event.

“I like the bike bit because youcan go really fast,” he declared

Sam said the multi sport festi-val had something for everyone,no matter their level or ability.

Study changes‘hurt’ Gordon

Campaign ‘targeting bushfire arson’

BY JOHN VAN KLAVERENAPPLICATIONS to study atGeelong’s Gordon Institute ofTAFE have fallen 27 per cent aftera shake up in tertiary education,according to new figures.

But the Victorian TertiaryAdmissions Centre figures re-vealed Deakin University as awinner of the changes, with 20 percent growth at its two Geelongcampuses.

Gordon received 2246 applica-tions in 2010, dropping 613 to1633 this year.

Gordon chief Grant Sutherlandsaid the “small” decrease onVTAC figures could be due to thederegulation of university offers.

“It only represents a small per-

centage of our total enrolmentsthroughout the year, the majorityof which are managed directlywith The Gordon,” he said.

A Deakin spokesman said 2012was the first year universityplaces were uncapped, allowinguniversities to make as manyoffers as places available.

“The early indication is that thenew demand-driven systemresulted in growth in offers andmore year 12 leavers going on touniversity,” the spokesman said.

Deakin received an “excellent”response for its new bachelorcourses in optometry, exercise sci-ence, zoology and animal scienceand visual arts, he said.

Australian Education Union

Victorian branch president MaryBluett said TAFE numbers weredown “dramatically” followingthe changes.

State Government’s changes tothe vocational education systemmeant TAFE suffered at the handsof private providers, she said.

“Lifting the cap for universitiescombined with the vocationaleducation free for all for privateproviders means it will be a raceto the bottom in terms of quality.Qualifications will not meanmuch if this continues.”

Marcus Oldham chief financialofficer Tony McNeill said enrol-ments for the Waurn Ponds agri-cultural college “remained steadydespite soft demand”.

CRIME Stoppers has usedGeelong to launch a new cam-paign urging reports of potentialbushfire arson activity.

The campaign follows policerevealing late last year that offi-cers would keep watch over 100known arsonists in the region thissummer.

Crime Stoppers said anyonewho suspected bushfire arsonactivity or threats should phonethe organisation’s 1800 333 000hotline or lodge a report atcrimestoppers.com.au.

“The fact remains that up to 50per cent of all bushfires arebelieved to be either deliberatelyor recklessly lit, often by peoplewho live locally.

“Crime Stoppers wishes toencourage regional Victorians

Burnt: Member for Western Victoria Region DavidO’Brien, Crime Stoppers’ Peter Sprott and GeelongPolice Acting Senior Sergeant Andrew Cornford spreadthe campaign message. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 7755880011

that if they see something or knowsomething about bushfire arson,say something.”

The identity of callers would bekept confidential, Crime Stopperssaid.

Club on righttrack at Corio

THE FASCINATION with trainsis difficult to explain – LaurieMackinnon has it and even he isat a loss.

But the Corio Model Railwaypresident has had the fascinationsince childhood – and loves itwhen kids these days share it withhim.

Laurie describes himself as a kidwho never grew up when it comesto the joy of watching trains.

“It’s great when children’sfaces light up as the trains movearound the layout,” Laurie admits.

That’s why one of the high-lights of the club’s model railwayexhibition next weekend will be a“you-drive layout”.

“The kids can have a go at driv-ing the trains on the layout andsee how the networks interactwith each other,” Laurie says.

“Some of the sets these dayshave such fine detail and includesound and other effects.”

Technology has even changedthe way model rail buffs indulgetheir hobby, Laurie says.

“Now we have computer con-trolled layouts that enable us torun multiple trains on a line andeven run to timetables.”

Laurie expects more than 2000

enthusiasts to descend on GeelongWest Town Hall for the two-dayexhibition.

“They come from all over thestate, even interstate, because thisis one of the great exhibitions

“We’ll feature some of thenewer style trains from around theworld, including from the US,Europe and Japan.”

Laurie says the show will fea-ture up to 15 layouts along withlots of stalls, buyers, sellers andcollectors.

He puts the popularity of modelrailways down to Geelong’s histo-ry as a “railway town”.

“Geelong traditionally has had aclose relationship with the rail-ways, as demonstrated by the

extensive North Geelong rail yardsand various interconnections here.

“Lara is destined to become thenext major rail network centrebecause of its proximity to theport, the airport and the highwaywas well as both railway gauges.”

Corio Model Railway Club isestablishing some traditions of itsown, with this year’s exhibition tobe the club’s 39th.

Laurie says the Bakers Oval-based club is undertaking majorupgrades to its main layout, areplica of the Geelong rail net-work.

The exhibition is open 10am to5pm.

More information is availablefrom Laurie on 5241 4477.

Busport big dealGEELONG does not need a big anything(Independent, January 13).

We are fortunate to have everythingexcept a council with competent planners,engineers and common sense. For exam-ple, why isn’t the busport next to the rail-way station, thus creating a transport hub?

Please, spend money fixing these prob-lems.

I moved to Geelong in 1971 for a two-yearassignment and immediately decided to stay.After 42 years I have not changed my mind.

Don’t destroy that which makes all whovisit envy what we take for granted.Robert ‘Bob’ TresederBelmont

Pier into futureIN LIGHT of the hugely expensive ideasbeing bandied about to create a monumentalicon for Geelong (Independent, January 13),I feel we can’t see the forest for the trees.

In front of our very noses is the mosticonic pier in Australasia, with so muchpotential for redevelopment it’s not funny.

There’s nothing like it anywhere else andGeelong’s privileged to have it all to itself.

Coupled with a massive drive fortourism by promoting our beautiful uniquecoast, we in Geelong would never have tolook backwards in our drive to beAustralia’s premier regional city.Steve JosephNorlane

Pokies scourgeI DON’T always agree with local MPDarren Cheeseman but I want to supporthis stance to better control the scourge ofpokies (Independent, December 9).

Any business that makes profits basedon people’s addictions needs to be chal-lenged and curtailed, including powerfulpokies interests.Greg CreekHighton

Meter denialPEOPLE should be under no illusionregarding their rights with smart meters(Independent, January 13).

No one can be compelled to have a smartmeter because of the constitution of thisfair country.

Civil conscription is expressly forbiddenby our constitution, meaning no one can becompelled to go to war, have a smart meteror any other such device that the govern-ment of the day might wish to foist on us.

This prohibition can also be used if onedoes not wish to vote. We are thus free torefuse smart meters if we wish because ourconstitution says we don’t have to.

I hope some of our elected members willbe good enough to confirm or deny thisfact, with a full explanation of any denial.Gary OraniukGeelong West

Man from MarsI HAVE been inspired to voice my opinionby three women: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf,Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkul Karman,winners of the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize.

As a concerned grandmother, I suggestthat Alan Barron, who took pride of place inthe Independent’s letters page on January 6,contact Jeremy Ward, a technical officerstationed at Cape Grim Baseline AirPollution Station in northwest Tasmania.

The station reports to the world meteoro-logical organisation and has done so since1976, observing an increase in carbondioxide of over 15 per cent during that peri-od along with an increase in mercuryvapor, linked to health impacts.

From his many repetitive letters, one canonly assume Mr Barron goes down the pathof conservation and, rather than approach aproblem on the side of caution and withgood management, waits until the horsehas bolted.

If he is genuinely concerned aboutemployment for future generations hewould surely know that coal, gas and oil

Cyber spinTHE DEVELOPING world of cyberneticsis attracting the attention of persons wholive and interact in that world.

Cybernetics is defined as the science ofcommunications and automatic controlsystems in both machines and living things.The cyber world provides many examplesof binary cerebration in which a choicebetween two options governs machines’and humans’ decision making, colloquiallyknown as ticking the right boxes.

Government participation in the makingof decisions for electorates may have unac-countable influence in human activity dueto the existence of the phenomenon ofunconscious cerebration, defined as anaction of the brain reaching a result withoutconscious thought.

The claim by politically motivated femi-nists and others that we can change atti-tudes raises ethical concerns about govern-ment strategies like spin to obtain consen-sus agreement for important legislation andacceptance of unpopular legislation such asa carbon tax.Marion JonesDrysdale

are finite. Surely the sun, wind and waveshave a better chance for renewable energyand a cleaner world as well, which industryis realising.

As for Mr Barron’s Martians comingdown to Earth, he is obviously unaware hisquoted NASA has, as far as I know, notreported that people are living on Mars andthat nor has NASA sighted any flyingsaucers based on Mars ready to fly themhere.

Or does he have evidence to the contrary?Claire HerrickTorquay

LIMEBURNERS LINK TRAINEES GRADUATE Eight indigenous and non-indigenous trainees from Geelong’s northern suburbs recently graduated from the Limeburners Link programme with a Certificate in Conservation and Land Management.

Limeburners Link is an initiative of Shell, Greening Australia Victoria and the City of Greater Geelong that provides training for local residents and aims to enhance the natural environment of Limeburners Bay, an estuary on the shores of Corio Bay.

Mr Mark Schubert, general manager of Shell’s Geelong refinery said Limeburners Link aligns closely with the company’s commitment to support projects with an education focus or objective.

“Through Limeburners Link we are building capacity and providing pathways for the community into further training and employment, while achieving on-ground outcomes in ecological restoration,” said Mr Schubert.

Finally FridaySqueezing Juice from a Stone

BY ERIN PEARSONLADIES, he’s single, lookingfor love and performing onthe Surf Coast next weekend.

Bluejuice front man JakeStone spoke to theIndependent from the backseat of his touring van lastweek with an air of excite-ment about his pending visit.

The band would promotenew album Company thistime around while taking inthe region’s sun and surf,Stone said.

“We can’t wait to have a bitof a mini holiday while we’rein Torquay. We’ve been downa few times before and alllove the surf,” he said.

“The Australian coastline isa great place.”

Stone said the band’s latestalbum had grown into some-thing bigger and better thaninitially expected.

“We’re at a really fun levelwith the band at the momentand have grown into eightpieces.

“We’ve added a guitar andother things, making our newtunes better than ever before.

“It’s certainly a surrealfeeling to know a song you satin your room and wrote atsome odd hour of the nightcan become something every-

one knows.”Stone attributed the band’s

growing popularity to the suc-cess of hit singles Broken Legand Ain’t Telling The Truth.

The recognition ofBluejuice’s four top-100 sin-gles had provided the impetusfor growth, he said.

“We’ve got eight piecesand backing tracks this timearound, which is the bestthing for us to do at themoment,” he said.

“It just came at the righttime for us because we hadn’tdone something we had beencompletely happy with.”

Despite the band’s uneasi-ness with past productions,Stone said Bluejuice hadstuck with its self-deprecatinglyrics on the new album.

“Our lyrics are usuallyabout making fun of our-selves, which is veryAustralian,” he laughed.

“The issues are serious,like relationship problems andso forth, but usually cannot beresolved, so we poke fun atthem.

“I think our fans can relateto that.”

Bluejuice plays at TorquayHotel this Friday night. Into the blue: The boys of Bluejuice are looking forward to a “mini holiday” on the Surf Coast this weekend.

DINOSAURS are back in theOtways thanks to Apollo Bay cou-ple Greg Denney and Deb Moore.

The pair’s new company, OtwayDinosaurs, is hosting MonashUniversity’s Wildlife of Gondwanaexhibition on unique archeologicaldiscoveries in the Otways.

They said the exhibition show-cased fossil records from across

the former Great SouthernContinent, which includedAustralia, South America, Ant-arctica, Africa and India.

Denney’s family property was abase for paleontologists and vol-unteers who uncovered theremains along Otways foreshoremore than a decade ago.

“They found ancient flood

deposits that revealed some amaz-ing creatures, changing the waythat dinosaurs have been lookedat. And it all happened in ourbackyard – literally.”

The exhibition will be at OtwayDinosaurs until April.

Denney said anyone seekingmore information could phone5237 1111.

BY ERIC BLAIR

Holden Barina Spark is soldinternationally as theChevrolet Spark. However

Holden (quite sensibly) chose to cashin on its long-serving nameplate ratherthan adopt an all-new name.

With its combination of cutestyling, features, bright colours and astarting price of just $12,490 (plus on-roads) Barina Spark five-door hatchshould be a sure-fire winner with theGeneration Y female market thatHolden will be targeting.

At first glance Barina Spark has thesporty look of a three-door hot hatchbut a closer look reveals that the reardoor handles are cleverly disguised atthe top rear of the door – a feature pio-neered several years ago by AlfaRomeo.

The rear of the Spark is dominatedby a pair of round tail lights on eitherside of the car which, while they doclash with the flowing lines, add char-acter as well as a point of differentia-tion from its competitors.

Inside, the flowing style continuesalthough again the flow is broken, thistime by two separate instrument pan-els mounted behind the steering wheelthat almost look as if they’re aftermar-ket fitments.

A bit of a ‘blokey’ touch for such afemale-oriented car but once againHolden has to be applauded for pro-viding something just that little bit dif-ferent.

Power for the Barina Spark comesfrom a 1.2-litre petrol engine that gen-erates 59 kilowatts at 6400 rpm and107 Nm at 4800 rpm.

Fuel consumption is rated at 5.6litres per 100 kilometres with CO2emissions of 128 grams per kilometre.

Interior space is acceptable withgood front headroom thanks to thedesign that has the highest point of thecar immediately above the front seatoccupants.

Rear legroom is limited althoughheadroom is still reasonable.

Rear storage is limited to 170 litreswith the rear seatbacks in place and580 litres with them folded.

Despite its low price Barina Sparkis no stripped-down special.

Safety features include front, sideand curtain airbags, ABS brakes and

Chick magnet: Barina Spark five-door hatch should be a sure-fire winner with the Generation Y female market.

Flashy Barina

Sporty flash: Silver and red models come with the added fea-ture of colour-coded door and dashboard appliqués.

Funky: Berina has plenty ofaesthetic appeal.

electronic stability control (ESC). Thecar has yet to sit for its local ANCAPsafety test, but when tested in Europeit received a four-star rating.

That car didn’t have ESC soHolden is quietly confident that theAustralian model will receive themaximum five stars.

Other standard features on theentry-level Spark CD include air con-ditioning, power front windows, USBand iPod/iPhone input, MP3 compati-ble audio with steering wheels mount-ed controls and 14-inch alloy wheels.The CD model will sell for $12,490(without dealer or governmentcharges).

The higher-specced CDX, priced atan RRP of $13,990 (there’s no drive-away special price) adds 15-inchalloys, a larger, body-coloured rearspoiler, rear power windows, Sportecseat trim and a storage tray under thefront passenger’s seat.

As a keen driver it’s easy to be crit-ical of the Barina Spark’s modest per-formance but that’s not what this car isabout.

Rather, put yourself in the place of aparent with a newly-licensed daughter,a manual licence that is – as they allshould have.

Here’s a $13,000 five-door hatchwith a funky styling that will appeal toher and her friends. It’s got six airbags,ABS brakes and stability control (a bigtick from you); and it doesn’t go par-ticularly fast (another tick from you).

Mini goes countryBY ERIC BLAIR

The growth of the compactSUV continues unabatedwith even the iconic

British/German marque Minijoining the fray with a modelcalled Countryman.

Actually it’s not the first timethat Mini has been in the off-roadmarket, those with long memorieswill recall the Mini Moke that wasbuilt in Australia until the early1980s.

Countryman has many featuresnot seen in the cute little AussieMoke. To start with theCountryman will have a roof –something that was an optionalextra on the Moke!

Mini Countryman is an all-newmodel rather than a long wheel-base version of the standard Mini.It is larger in all directions and isalmost in the midsize SUV classrather than being a small vehicle.

Rather than calling the MiniCountryman an SUV, the title ofSAV (Sports Activity Vehicle) hasbeen revived.

As in the heyday of the originalMini during the swinging sixtiesthe Countryman is a stylish carthat can be customised in a multi-tude of ways, both inside and out.

The latter called CountrymanALL4. As with all of its type inthe crossover field it’s not intend-ed to be an off-road vehicle, but tobe able to traverse unmade roadsand icy surfaces.

Ground clearance is greater onthe Countryman than in the othersin the Mini range, however at 149mm it’s not much greater than insome passenger cars.

Because the Countryman is asubstantial 398 mm longer thanthe Mini three-door hatch it canbe used to carry people in theback seats without those in frontneeding to give up a fair bit of

their legroom. To further facilitatethis the Mini Countryman hasfour conventional passengerdoors.

Engine options are petrol anddiesel.

Manual and automatic trans-missions, both with six forwardratios, are offered in the completeCountryman range, a smart movein Australia where fewer andfewer driver are opting for thecontrol a manual gearbox pro-vides.

Steering and overall handlingin the Countryman are possiblynot quite as sharp as that in thesmaller standard Mini, but are stillway ahead of any other front-drive car on the market.

Mini has been a fashion state-ment for 50 years now and the all-new Mini Countryman will fur-ther enhance the fun side ofmotoring, particularly when youget right into customising yours.

Activity vehicle: Bigger than the standard Mini, but still with the same cheeky looks,this is the all-new SAV Mini Countryman.

Cats huntearly falls

sport

GEELONG Cricket Club will defenda competitive total in its premierleague match against Melbourne thisweekend.

The Cats’ top order all chipped in tofinish day one with 309 runs on theboard.

Hayden Butterworth was the starbatting at number five, with his fourhours at the crease leaving him ago-nisingly short of a well-deserved cen-tury on 99.

He was well supported by JacobThorne with 70 and Luke Muller, 42.

Marc Carson will look to take earlywickets with the new pill tomorrow,before the Cats’ spin bowlers look tochoke the life out of Melbourne andcontinue Geelong’s rise up the ladder.

In Geelong Cricket Association,Grovedale has the upper hand in divi-sion one against Lara.

The Tigers batted first last week andwere quickly reduced to 3/52 afteryoung quick Matthew Richmond tooktwo early wickets.

But from there star batsman NickPeterson showed why he is one of theclass players in the competition with astirling 111.

Veteran Simon Pearce providedsupport to fall just shy of a century on97.

After the scheduled 85 overs,Grovedale had amassed what shouldbe a match winning total of 9/324.

Daniel Weigl toiled well for Lara tobe rewarded with five wickets.

In division two, top three teams StAlbans Breakwater, Murgheboluc andGeelong City were all dismissed foreerily similar scores last week but eachfought back to claim crucial wickets to

keep their hopes of victory alive.Torquay looks the most likely to

cause an upset when it resumes at 2/39chasing St Albans Breakwater’s 137.Charlie Harris was the hero for theTigers, bagging 5/20.

St Peters bowled Murgheboluc outfor 128 but fell to be 4/26 at the closeof play.

Marshall managed to do almostexactly the same, dismissing GeelongCity for 141 but ending up on 4/27.

All games will play an importantrole in the make up of the ladder, witha win or loss for any of these sidesholding huge ramifications.

In division three, Ty Watts made amajestic 146 to lead Meredith to acommanding position in its match ofthe round against Corio.

Unfortunately for Meredith, though,too much was left to too few beforethe side ended up with a score of 237,dismissed in the 68 over thanks tothree wickets each to Kevin Hayes andJason Stewart.

Corio faced three overs last weekand wiped five runs off the defecit. IfJon Boljkovac can get Corio off to agood start and set a platform for gunbat Michael Ebborn then their sidecould be a chance to win this one.

Fresh and saltwater hosts variety show Geelong on the rise

ANGLERS hooked into a huge variety ofspecies in fresh and saltwater over thepast week.

Redfin were relatively easy to catchfrom the Barwon River at Queen’s Parkand further upstream. Live minnowaccounted for plenty of fish close to 1kg,with the area above Buckley Falls best.

Lure anglers had to consistently moveto find shoals but, once located, numbersof fish were caught. I caught and releasedover 50 redfin, the best well over 1kg,with a Scorpion 35 in the Coke Cancolour my best lure.

The river also produced some hugecarp around Fyans and Queen’s parks.Bread or corn unweighted on light linesworks well, with berley also a major help.

Mitchell Slater was one of the luckyanglers on Corio Bay. Fishing from hisHobie kayak close in to Royal GeelongYacht Club he caught a bag of fish includ-ing snapper to 45cm, salmon better than1kg and four nice flathead, all on softplastics.

Stuart Ward was also successful whenfishing the sandbar in the GrammarSchool lagoon. Stuart’s recorded animpressive tally of small snapper but his2.3kg fish made the long walk in fromAvalon Beach worthwhile.

Stanley Jacobs nailed his bag limit ofwhiting in close to Bird Rock. Most fishaveraged 33cm, with Stanley noting franticaction just as the sun was rising but taper-ing off when conditions become sunny.

Xavier Hunt fished the outer-harbourspoil grounds with soft plastics for a nicebag of flathead, snapper and salmon. Allthe action was during the run-off fromhigh tide.

Few anglers have fished Wilson Spitover the past weeks but those who have,especially after dark, have landed snap-per. Fresh pilchard has been the bait.

Young gun: SamuelSmith a pair of snapperfrom the bay off StLeonards.

Last weekend Jason Smith and 11-year-old son Samuel hit the water off StLeonards at daylight. The full day’s effortin 22m was rewarded with five snapper toaround 3kg.

Whiting captures remained consistent,with early mornings or evenings best onthe shallow grass beds between CliftonSprings and St Leonards. Pippies or freshsquid were the baits of choice.

Edwards Point remained one of the hotspots for whiting.

Inside Swan Bay, Noel Henry found afew big flathead after laying a liberalberley trail. Noel caught his first in lessthan 10 minutes, boating the 3.4kg whop-per after a lengthy battle on light tackle.

Noel finished with six other flathead,all were better than 1kg each.

Sizes varied, with most close to 1kg buta few beauties reaching 3kg aboard TerryStirling’s boat last weekend.

Yellowtail kingfish remained a hottopic over the past week but most anglerswho chased this species returned emptyhanded. I can’t go into detail of exactly

how the fish were taken but can say thatkings to 14kg were landed off Collendina.

Big seas presented difficult conditionsalong the coast but salmon to 3kg werelanded from the rock platforms betweenEastern View and Lorne. Lure was thebest method.

Graham Shorten fished Deep Laketwice to find the fish quite active just ondark, returning on both occasions withtwo rainbows of around 1.3kg apiece.Graham used Atomic Shad lures.

Redfin were still a viable option at LakePurrumbete, with either ice jigs, vibes orbobbers.

Lake Lonsdale was the destination forPaul Reece who trolled small Stumpjumpersto catch over 20 fish, all around 900g.

This weekend the afternoon tides lookideal for snapper on soft plastics. Fish theouter-harbour spoil grounds with four-inch Gulp minnows or grubs.
