Drysdale, Springs push for peninsula cycle ‘network’ Bridge bypass BY KIM WATERS DRYSDALE and Clifton Springs residents want a council-funded bike trail linking the entire Bellarine Peninsula, according to a spokesperson behind the push. Neil McGuinness said the proposed Northern Cycling Trail would follow Griggs Creek along Corio Bay to other towns on the peninsula. Mr McGuinness hoped the trail would attract tourists and cycling enthusiasts. “A lot of people in the town ride bikes and there are heaps of kids who cycle to school every day,” he said. “We’re proposing to have a stack of leaflets at the Drysdale Station section of Bellarine Rail Trail where bike riders can look at maps to take them around the town, through the waterholes, along the creek and up to The Dell lookout.” Mr McGuinness described a preliminary meeting with City Hall officers as “positive”. “The main part we want to get done is a section across Jetty Road and down to the creek behind the primary school. “Eventually we’d like to see the whole of Drysdale and Clifton Springs set up with a trail and then other towns like Leopold, Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove with their own networks linking to ours.” Mr McGuinness said Drysdale and Clifton Springs Community Association would present the trail proposal to council in the next month. “Council is generally in favour of this kind of proposal, so we’re hoping to get something started soon.”

BY KIM WATERS OBJECTORS to a proposed bridge at Clifton Springs have asked Planning Minister Matthew Guy to visit the site and meet petitioners, according to a lead objector. John Boland said 864 residents surrounding Bayshore Avenue and Kewarra Drive wanted Mr Guy to see first-hand how the bridge to a new residential estate would affect their properties. Mr Boland said residents had bypassed council to seek Mr Guy’s intervention. He believed recent communication with the office meant a decision “soon”. “We weren’t given a timeframe but I’m optimistic because we’ve detected a fair amount of sympathy. “We’ve requested he come to the area and view the streets and where the bridge would go so that he can see how ridiculous it is.” Mr Boland said residents were concerned the bridge would direct “hundreds” of vehicles through their streets daily. “Our area isn’t designed to cope with that amount of traffic. “After years of debate we decided to bypass council and go directly to State Government to sort this out.” Residents thought they had defeated the Griggs Creek bridge proposal in 2008 with a 244-signature petition. But Mr Boland said they were “surprised” when the plan was revived earlier this year. Mr Guy had not returned the Independent’s call for comment before the paper went to press on Wednesday.

Kinder bid ‘deadline’ school land was off limits. Ms Yttrup said the committee was “back to the start” after months of investigations into the primary school site. “We’re disappointed but we understand the reasons they’ve given for not using the land,” she said. “We’ve been working closely with the school to look at viable sites and for lots of reasons

they’ve decided the kinder can’t be accommodated at the local school. Ms Yttrup said the kinder had an 18-month deadline to increase capacity before a mandated State Government boost in kinder hours began. “We need a new kinder by 2012 and it’s achievable but a site needs to be decided on very, very soon. “We already had to cut back on

three-year-old places last year and without a new kinder we’d have to cut 25 four-year-old spots in 2012. “There’s a massive demand in Barwon Heads and we just can’t satisfy that at the moment.” Ward councillor Andy Richards said council ruled out the primary school fearing addition of a kindergarten would leave the site “congested”. Cr Richards said investigations

had shown the proposal was not “logistically viable”. “The increased volume of traffic movements around the school site could also pose potential safety issues,” he said. “Although there were many reasons for this recommendation, the main reason is that adding a new kindergarten on the school land would result in the site becoming congested and would

not allow for the future expansion of the school or the kindergarten. “Adding a new kindergarten building to the site would require the relocation of some classrooms and result in children at the school being required to attend classes in widely separated rooms.” Cr Richards said council would work with the kindergarten committee and State Government to identify a suitable alternative.

ENTRIES to a design competition seeking an eye-catching landmark for Geelong open on Monday. Organisers joined Mayor John Mitchell this week to officially open the Icon for Geelong competition. Geelong law firm Senia Lawyers has put up a $10,000 cash prize for the winning entry. Cr Mitchell said he was looking forward to seeing the entries. He believed an “iconic structure of some kind” could provide a focal point for Geelong’s growing profile as an Australian tourist destination. The competition will seek a design for an inspiring landmark with an emphasis on artistic merit to promote Geelong throughout the world. Organisers said the icon could be anything from a statue to a building or an art installation, as long as it was a beautiful structure to enhance Geelong’s international profile. Prospective entrants have until March January 28 to lodge their designs, with the winner announced on March 11. The head of Deakin University’s school of architecture and building, Professor Hisham Elkadi, has produced a design brief for entries at www.deakin.edu.au/scitech/ab. Prof Elkadi said the brief provided proposed icon sites

BY KIM WATERS A FORMER Independent journalist living in London has described her “frightening” experience caught in the city’s violent riots. Jessica Benton, who moved from Ocean Grove to London last year, said Australian and New Zealand expatriates were stuck in the middle of “escalating” chaos sweeping England. She described a terrifying evening locked in her home listening to sirens, helicopters and youths screaming and running outside. “The local shops have been looted and vandalised. It’s absolute mayhem,” she emailed from London. “There were groups of young boys and girls smashing up shops and stealing everything they could get their hands on.” Ms Benton said police had lost control, leaving residents to protect their properties. “Cars and properties have been burned down to the ground. Some people were even forced to protect their properties from looters with pots and pans. “It’s worrying the police seem to be taking so long to get things under control.”

MP pushes for ‘drug-injecting facility’ in city STATE Government should investigate installing safe injecting rooms in Geelong after three drug overdose deaths last weekend, according to an MP. Labor Member for Lara John Eren said the deaths could have been prevented.

He urged the Government to make “tough decisions” on Geelong’s drug problem. “Drugs are a big, big problem in the community. State Government needs to look at increasing support for drug services, providing more beds in detox centres

and the use of safe injecting rooms. Liberal South Barwon MP Andrew Katos opposed injecting rooms. “Those who support them are fine with the idea as long as they’re not next to their house or their suburb. That’s the problem.”

Authority ‘to put bite on river dog walkers’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN IRRESPONSIBLE owners walking unrestrained dogs along the Barwon River face a crackdown, according to Corangamite Catchment Management Authority. The authority said owners failing to scoop their dog’s poop would also risk fines. Compliance officers would patrol pathways and reserves along the Barwon River between Queen’s Park Bridge and Breakwater Road. Authority river health manager Trent Wallis said unrestrained dogs

were chasing cyclists, knocking over pedestrians, fighting with other dogs and attacking local wildlife. “The reserves are for everyone to enjoy and sometimes dogs roaming free or dog droppings spoil that for other visitors,” he said. Mr Wallis said enforcing legislation had been in place for three years, with authority and City Hall running regular checks. “Enforcing this legislation allows everyone to enjoy the Barwon River’s recreation areas and helps protect the waterway and its local wildlife,” he said.

City local laws manager Steve Sodomaco said a three-year legal agreement provided for council officers to carry out regular patrols along river pathways on behalf of the catchment authority. Council favoured education rather than enforcement but must maintain order along with the amenity of the parkland along the Barwon, he said. Fines ranged between $50 and $100. Geelong Obedience Dog Club secretary Karen Millard said it was a shame a few irresponsible owners were ruining the river walk for other

responsible users. “It sounds as if they’re coming down pretty heavily but I’d hate to see a crackdown,” she said. “Dogs don’t have much freedom these days.” Ms Millard said a scheme sending owners to obedience classes would have greater impact than fines. Ms Millard said the club had an offleash area open to the public Monday to Saturday. “They can have a good run as long as owners do the right thing and pick up after their dogs.”

Alcoa ‘certainty’ ALCOA has “given certainty” to Geelong staff with plans to spend $60 million on capital works at the company’s Point Henry plant, according to Mayor John Mitchell. Cr Mitchell said Alcoa officials confirmed the spending when he visited the company’s New York head office on a council-funded trip last month.

Park reopens LARA’S You Yangs Regional Park has reopened to the public after months of work to repair flood damage that uncovered asbestos drainage infrastructure, State Government has announced. Liberal MP Brad Battin said the Government spent $1.5 million on the “first stage” of work following heavy rain in February.

Suburbs named PARTS of Marshall and Grovedale will become Charlemont while sections of Mt Duneed and Connewarre will turn into Armstrong Creek under council plans to create new suburbs south of Geelong. City Hall unveiled this week the names of the new suburbs to house around 60,000 residents south of Geelong, with Charlemont and Armstrong Creek to share a 3217 postcode.

PLANS to upgrade two reserves at St Leonards over “10 to 15 years” have gone on public exhibition, according to City Hall. Ward councillor John Doull said the plans for Lake and Charles McCarthy reserves proposed improvements including extended walking trails and upgraded sports facilities at a cost of several million dollars.

Dutch honour for ‘terrible time’ in war BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A CORIO man who fought for Holland in World War Two before his deportation to Germany as a prisoner of war will receive official recognition after 72 years. Netherlands Defence Attache Lieutenant Colonel Herman Verhoef will present William Langenberg with a Mobilisation War Cross next week. “I never knew this was awarded,” said

93-year-old Mr Langenberg. “It’s important because it’s recognition. I appreciate it.” Mr Langenberg was 22 when he was mobilised in a battalion of the 17th Infantry Regiment in 1939 after war was declared. German eventually occupied Holland, with Dutch men like Mr Langenberg deported to work in Nazi war factories. Granddaughter Corina Van Arend

said Mr Langenberg managed to escape back to Holland where he was forced into hiding. “We’re all proud of him for getting through what was a terrible time and we told him he should write his memoirs.” A baker by trade, Mr Langenberg emigrated to Australia in 1958. Lt Col Verhoef will present the medal during a luncheon at Geelong’s Fishermen’s Pier Restaurant on Tuesday.

BY KIM WATERS COUNCIL has approved a 45hectare redevelopment for North Geelong’s former golf course after eight years of negotiations with developers. Councillors voted this week to clear the way for redevelopment of the former Geelong Golf Club site on the corner of Ballarat and Thompson roads. A council spokesperson said developer Links Living had agreed to a new Section 173 Agreement with “obligations” including timing for the development of a golf course and construction of footpaths along the roads. Council planning portfolio holder Rod Macdonald said Links Living agreed to build the continuous footpath around the site in five years. Links Living controversially bought the course about eight years ago after the club struck financial problems. The company won council support in 2006 for a redevelopment with nine holes, 200 building blocks and 120 retirement units but later dumped the plan as unviable and locked out club members. Links Living spokesperson Ron Smith was “delighted” at council’s green light for the development. The project would still have 320 residential lots, he said. Blocks would cost from the “low $100,000s to $400,000”, he said. Mr Smith expected construction to begin in “a couple of months”.

Shop traded in stolen products, court hears BY KIM WATERS A CORIO milk bar owner caught selling stolen groceries has learnt “a massive lesson”, a court heard this week. Ibraham Elsekmani, 52, fronted Geelong Magistrates Court on Wednesday on a charge of incitement. Police Prosecutor Senior Constable Jackie Davis said Elsekmani owned the Goldsworthy Road milk bar at the centre of a police investigation into the sale of stolen goods Sen Const Davis said Elsekmani paid “only $20” to an operative for toothpaste, razors, anti-ageing creme

and bottles of shampoo and conditioner valued at $91.23. Elsekmani requested tins of Nescafe coffee from the Coburg operative, the court heard. Sen Const David said he later paid another $20 for 10 Nescafe tins and $38 of Kit Kat and Snickers chocolate bars. Elsekmani told the operative the coffee was “no good” and sent him away for more chocolates, the court heard. On November 21 police executed a search warrant on the shop, finding 42 packets of batteries, razor cartridges and 226 DVDs.

Sen Const Davis said Elsekmani admitted to paying $40 for the batteries and cartridges about five months earlier. He also admitted to purchasing the DVDs for $5 and selling them at the milk bar for $10. Sen Const Davis said Elsekmani denied any involvement with the Coburg operative beyond buying the stolen goods from a man “trying to support his family”. Lawyer Shane Balkin, for Elsekmani, said his client had learned a “massive lesson”. Elsekmani had operated the shop for

He sentenced Elsekmani to three months jail, suspended for one year, and fined him $2000. “I believe there would be fewer burglaries…if there weren’t people like him,” Mr Von Einem said. “He was presented with an opportunity on more than one occasion …and has taken advantage of that. “Let there be no mistake, he’ll serve three months if there are any further offences.”

BY KIM WATERS A GEELONG-FIRST program for cancer patients and their families will provide free information and support sessions, according to an organiser. Facilitator Sue Bowles said the Barwon Health and Cancer Council offered coping strategies for “life-altering” diagnoses. Ms Bowles said the four-week Living with Cancer program had generated “a fantastic response”. “We’ll discuss treatments, symptoms and side affects. There will also be guest speakers including an oncologist, a dietician, a physiotherapist and an occupational therapist.” “It’s designed to be fairly intimate so people don’t feel uncomfortable asking questions. “It can be overwhelming when you’re first diagnosed or receiving treatments, so this is a chance to ask questions get support and speak to a range of professionals all in one place.” Ms Bowles said the program would run two or three times a year if the first was successful. Barwon Health cancer information and support services director Amanda Hordern said the program covered emotional and practical information.

We get to share stories and realise we’re not facing them alone, plus you pick up ideas from people on how to cope with life’s little issues. “I’ve come to realise it’s the simple things in life that are important. I wasn’t as positive before the accident as I am now. “Before the accident I would read about people injured in cars and think ‘poor them’. They always say they never thought it would happen to them. “But it happened to an everyday person – it happened to me. You can take all the precautions in the world but it still happened. “How stupid are you if you take risks?”

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GOAL setting was never a strong suit for Geelong West’s Katherine Johnson before her accident. The former rural journalist from a Western Australian farming family had a relaxed country attitude. But during a visit home her modern, well-equipped car ran off the road and into a tree. “I don’t really remember a lot about the accident,” Katherine said. But the painstaking journey since was etched in her memory, from being wheelchair bound to learning to walk again. “The messages from my brain to my right side get muddled,” the former netballer and rower explained. “That might not be the right medical explanation but it pretty much describes what happens. “I might look fine on the outside but sometimes I’m not fine on the inside.” Katherine will take the next step on her journey to recovery when she competes in a Run Geelong charity fundraiser in November. “I’m part of a group of three at McKellar Centre who all have acquired brain injuries. We’re entering as a group because we set that as our goal. “You’ve got to have a positive attitude and set goals or you won’t get anywhere. I work as hard as I can to achieve my goals.” Katherine trains with her carer every Monday at Geelong’s Landy Field before joining her fellow running

Star’s youth beat BY ERIN PEARSON A FORMER rock star is helping troubled Geelong teenagers reach for their dreams. Former The Living End member Travis Delaney said he was running drumming classes at Corio’s fOrT centre after a conversation with a 13-year-old boy changed his life. “I’d been working with the Starlight Foundation when I was in The Living End, visiting young kids in hospitals in Melbourne and Sydney,” Mr Delaney explained. “After befriending a young kid I made contact with him on Christmas Day one year and his parents informed me he had died. It made me really question what I was doing and how I could do more.” Mr Delaney said he left The Living End to become a volunteer youth worker. His drumming classes were helping teenagers with anger management and selfesteem issues, he said.

“Drumming is very accessible and it was my vehicle for my change. “I was an angry 13-year-old kid who was kicked out of three high schools. I didn’t know how to vent the issues I had, which were embarrassment from not having a family home, of constantly moving because we didn’t pay the rent and you don’t talk about that to your mates when you’re 13.” Mr Delaney, who lives at Jan Juc, said children were “inundated” with negative images of youth. “Everything on television shows that successful men have muscles, lots of bling and multiple women draping themselves over them. I could have had all of that too but happiness is more than that. “Happiness is summer, barbecues, good friends, walking your dog; it’s very achievable.” Mr Delaney said teenage years were an important time to offer children positive life paths. “I want kids to understand that everyone has the ability to create their own destiny.”

GEELONG TRAVELLERS AID CENTRE

We would like to thank all residents and business owners / operators for their continued support in reporting graffiti, significantly aiding us in the removal process. Graffiti around Geelong has reduced dramatically since the start of the Graffiti Strategy in 2001.

WE ARE EXPLORING MODELS AND PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR A VISITOR ACCESS CENTRE IN GEELONG - SIMILAR TO TRAVELLERS AID IN MELBOURNE

With your support rapid removal, policing and prevention is making a direct impact in assisting to keep our city and homes graffiti free. To help keep our city graffiti free, Graffiti Removal Kits are available at all Customer Service Centres. These kits are available at no cost to residents and business operators and contain several items which can assist in the removal of graffiti from private property, businesses and public space.

The Melbourne Travellers Aid Centre provides services and facilities to help travellers, commuters, workers and shoppers. Services include: • Accessible toilet and hoist • Personal care assistance • Lockers/storage facilities

Please continue to support the reporting of graffiti in our city by phoning our hotline on 5272 4319. You can call anytime, 24 hours a day, seven days a week to report graffiti (outside business hours calls will be directed to a message service). You can also email us on graffiti@geelongcity.vic.gov.au

• Accessible showers

Why don’t you put the number in your phone so you can call if you see graffiti on your daily travels!

• Family toilet

IS YOUR BUSINESS EXPERIENCING SKILL SHORTAGES? The City of Greater Geelong together with the Local Learning and Employment Network is undertaking a survey of businesses in the region to better understand the range of skill shortages that exist in the local labour market. Information collected from the survey will be used to guide regional education and training providers, the development of strategic directions for industry and workforce assistance initiatives. If your business has experienced or is likely to experience difficulty sourcing the skills you require from the local labour market, please take a few moments to complete our questionnaire online at www.geelongaustralia.com.au/council/yoursay/skillsurvey.aspx For further queries please contact Alison Steele, Economic Development on 5272 4880.

• Transport information • Internet access • Baby change facilities • Mobility equipment hire A travellers aid centre for central Geelong would improve access for local people and visitors. It may be a place for people who need to rest a while, who are in transit to medical appointments or who need help with transport information. The centre would be part of the transport network and improve access to central Geelong for people with disabilities, seniors and parents with young children. To help us measure local needs and views complete the survey: • online at www.geelongaustralia.com.au/council/yoursay • in person at any of the City’s Customer Service Centres (A large font copy is also available) All surveys must be completed by 5.00pm Monday 29 August 2011.

Driving passions behind Geelong car club’s success right through to production rally car events needing national rally driver and navigator licences. “Successful completion of a rally is usually equal parts driver skill, navigator skill and car preparation,” Adrian said. “Autocross is a sport where competitors race against the clock on an established, unsealed surface on different length tracks. “The course is often restricted by use of witches-hats or flags to avoid unsuitable areas or to make the course more challenging. A five-second penalty often applies for each marker dislodged.” Adrian said members often competed in autocross or motorkhana events in standard cars. “Motorkhana is a low-cost, entrylevel category of motor sport catering for ages from 12. The vehicles don’t require expensive modifications.” Adrian said family and friends often become involved as event organisers and officials. He said anyone with membership inquiries could phone Brett Ross on 0418 528 881, email brettr@data fast.net.au or visit the club website at www.wdcc.com.au.

Racing: A competitor hits the track at Geelong Motorsport Complex. Adrian said the club adhered strictly to safety rules, with all events run under Confederation of Australian Motor Sport affiliation, requiring competitors to be licensed. The club is also affiliated with Victorian Club Rally Series and Association of Motoring Clubs. Adrian explained that the club was a VicRoads-authorised participant in the Club Permit Scheme. “If you only intend to use your vehicle at club events and functions then this permit to drive, at around $94 per

year, is much less expensive than normal registration for cars more than 25 years old. “To be eligible for a competition licence you must be a financial member of a CAMS-affiliated club, such as ours. “There are several grades of licence depending on what level of motor sport you wish to pursue. For club rallies both driver and navigator need a minimum CAMS level two licence.” Adrian said club members competed in a wide variety of motor sports, from simple timed checkpoint events

Join the club MOTOR sport is usually considered high-cost but Western District Car Club offers relatively inexpensive automotive enjoyment. As Geelong’s first car club, it has been a going concern since 1946 and established Geelong Motorsport Complex at Avalon in 1983. The 21-hectare complex is at the northern end of Avalon Airfield. Vice-president Adrian Johns said the club initially bought the land to provide a venue for Geelong and Melbourne motor sports clubs. “We saw it as a place for club members and the community to hold autocross, motorkana and off-road race events as well as to conduct driver education,” he said. In 1990 the club joined forces with Geelong’s motor sport, MG and offroad buggy clubs to create the complex.

Lights bid ‘still alive’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG Football Club could still win funding for Skilled Stadium lights despite running third in a race for federal grants, according to Cats chief Brian Cook. Mr Cook said Federal Government might not follow Regional Development Australia (RDA) funding recommendations. The Independent revealed last week that Geelong Library and Heritage Centre was RDA’s top priority project in the region vying for limited federal funds.

“Those rankings will get serious consideration but I don’t think the Government will simply follow those priorities,” Mr Cook said. “It will be difficult for anyone to get funding given the amount of applications for a limited pool of money. “I believe the Government will give an indication to those who put up a good project in the first round that they’ll get serious consideration in the second round. It’s my belief that over time all these projects will be funded.” Mr Cook said the stadium Could “live without lights” until at least

“If Geelong wants to be a strong second tier city it needs to have the sporting events that lights will bring.” Mr King said a stadium with lights could also host national rugby league and union matches, soccer and concerts. “A lot of public money has gone into the stadium and if cricket can get a licence it could double the number of events at Skilled Stadium.” Mr King said the lights would provide a strong return on investment. “We’re all in competition for the dollars but hopefully all projects can get up.”

2014, but not beyond. “This has economic impact on the Geelong community. If the community wants more events then it has got to support these things. “It is not simply a football issue.” Geelong Twenty20 bid chairman Michael King said lights at Skilled Stadium were crucial to any future licence. “We’ve kept in close contact with Cricket Australia and Cricket Victoria because we expect the competition to be expanded within two or three years,” Mr King said.

buckets & bouquets BOUQUETS to my very special 17-yearold grandson, Hayden, for so kindly giving me the money he had saved for driving lessons to buy a walking aid I needed badly. Now I can walk just a little further. Thank you so much, Hayden. Very Proud Aussie, Hamlyn Heights BOUQUETS to all the people I got to know in Maurice Street, on the right-hand side of Cox and Church streets and in McCurdy Road while doing Wednesday newspaper rounds for two years. Beryl, Herne Hill BUCKETS to a nurse’s decision. I hope you realise the consequences because I sure do. Not Happy, Herne Hill

BUCKETS to a neighbour’s builder for destroying our fences and doing a lot of other damage to our property. He refused to do anything to fix the damage. May nobody ever be subjected to his shoddy work again. Had Enough, East Geelong BUCKETS to a Newcomb business where I waited to be acknowledged while two staff members were behind screens out the back. I was waiting to pay for and order products for someone waiting on the other end of my mobile phone. The staff’s rudeness cost a big order. OB, Newcomb BUCKETS to a father with a family in his car. The sign in his window said ‘Please drive safely, children on board’ but he nearly backed into a car and held everyone up in a car park. A man in a van and I were glad to get out of there. Safe Driver, Whittington

BOUQUETS to a lovely mum who stopped to ask whether my sick friend was okay and who then gave her water when she came across my illegally parked car and my friend on Sunset Strip. It was nice to find there are still caring, compassionate people in today’s society. Grateful Residents, Jan Juc

BUCKETS to Driver (Buckets and Bouquets, August 5). Roads are paid for by taxes, cyclists’ included, not by car registrations. Go for a ride yourself and you will realise the dangers of broken bottles, car doors and, as I experienced, drivers cutting off cyclists in bike lanes. Get Educated, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to a wonderful couple in a white car and to a young man standing at a bus stop for helping catch my friend’s large dog after it escaped its yard and began crossing Torquay Road. A very stressful episode had a good ending thanks to these caring people. SE, Whittington

BUCKETS to Driver. When motorists stay out of bike lanes I’ll listen to your whinges about cyclists staying out of vehicle lanes. Motorists’ ignorance of how to deal with bike lanes is the chief reason riders avoid the central city area. Learn the rules, stick to them and everyone’s happy. Rider, Newtown

BUCKETS to a wealthy private school that recently ran a letterbox drop soliciting for donations of prizes and goods for the school’s fundraising winter festival. Disgusted, Geelong

letters CfG parties on NOW that Committee for Geelong has decided to object to a planning application for a floating restaurant in Geelong (Independent, July 29) perhaps it’s time for it to drop the pretense of political neutrality and simply register as a political party. If the committee wants to set out its vision for Geelong I am sure the residents who live here and to whom the committee owes its existence would be very interested to see how their hard-earned would be spent. Kevin V Russell Geelong

Sunshine on rubbish WHILE returning to Geelong from Braybrook on a Sunday night I could not believe the piles of junk lying on nature strips throughout the Sunshine area. I could not get over the absolute size of some piles of furniture et cetera littering the roadsides. I knew that a minority of people who don’t care about the environment lived in area but the amount of litter was ridiculous. It took a while but I finally realised I was seeing the prelude to a kerbside hard-rubbish collection. It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen one I had actually forgotten what they looked like. If Brimbank council can budget for and organise one of these collections I’m sure our own Geelong council should be able to do so as well. Perhaps we might need to borrow Brimbank’s money managers for a while to better organise our own budget priorities. Trevor Pope Whittington

Shocking quality I recently had a phone call from a phone canvasser asking about my thoughts on water quality in Geelong. Having travelled to many states in Australia for many different reasons, I have always been proud of the water supply in our district and have been happy to return home for that reason. Unfortunately, in the past couple of years I have been less enthusiastic about our water quality. First, I am concerned about the smell of our water followed by the water’s effect on skin and scalp. Speaking to the phone caller, my reply was: Shocking, shocking, shocking! He commented that most people he had contacted

Politicians must front up to spin THE Independent’s story last week on quarantine fees pointed markedly at often-ridiculous government fees. I have previously written that the notion of “user pays” is a rort simply because government departments, like Australian Quarantine Inspection Service, are funded by taxpayers and therefore should not require any fees at all. Government is not a business but a servant and a service funded by taxpayers. If quarantine is a private business it’s news to me and probably everyone else. Why government has to gouge fees when taxpayers fund everything deserves some explanation. Perhaps our intrepid jour-

make than the energy it yields. Shell recently announced the closure of its Clyde refinery in Sydney because of declining EROEI. Future growth of cheap air travel for the masses looks highly uncertain. The Baillieu Government should follow the UK’s lead and set up an industry taskforce on peak oil and energy security before investing millions of taxpayer dollars on a rail link to Avalon airport that may be redundant in a few years. Phil Baulch Belmont

Guilt of Gillard

Rhetoric spreading

PRIME Minister Julia Gillard and her equally guilty cohorts have displayed an astounding, arrogant and sinful disregard for the quality of a child’s life. Her determination in a television interview to send children to Malaysia was sickening in the extreme. It is incredibly sad that a nation such as ours has as its figurehead a person such as her. So intent is she on securing her place in history and saving her prime ministership that even some of her most devout followers must be appalled. Will they be followers at the next election? One must wonder.

SO JULIA Gillard now wants to shift gear from saving the planet with her carbon tax to spreading the opportunity with workplace reform. Great rhetoric but in reality the Gillard crusades are spreading the misery. Brian Handley Geelong

neyman, MP Richard Marles, might like to front up with Joe Ludwig so a few bewildered souls like me might press them with a few pointed questions. I have been an advocate for a regularly-scheduled, open,

Declining returns QANTAS chief Alan Joyce recently said rising fuel prices were a greater worry than the carbon tax. After years of denying the reality of peak oil, International Energy Agency chief Dr Fatih Birol admitted in May that world oil production peaked in 2006. Saudi Arabia has the largest oil reserve but recently became the world’s sixth largest oil user. Its use of oil for electricity generation has doubled since 2000. Many of the world’s oil producers are beginning to limit exports as global demand increases. There is no substitute for crude oil. Virgin and Lufthansa are trialling bio-jet fuel but it has an energy return on energy invested (EROEI) of less than one. That is, it takes more energy to

Irresponsible few CLIMATE sceptics recently made the point that an Australian carbon tax will not reduce global temperatures by even a fraction of a degree. They also confirmed that Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions are only 1.4 per cent of the world’s emissions. I listened carefully to these arguments and made a decision: I will no longer pay tax. I am one person among 25 million and my tax contribution will make no difference to Australia’s balance sheet. Some people have told me it is unfair to avoid tax and I should do my bit but I don’t care. Nobody will notice if I don’t pay tax and I’ll be better off. It’s clear to me that paying tax is a lot of pain with no gain. It’s not as though I’m the only one not paying tax. My neighbour tells me his uncle doesn’t pay tax either because he’s wealthy and has plenty of lawyers to structure his affairs. Take a look at all the young people that don’t pay tax because they hardly earn any income but I’ve heard that all of them want to be like me one day and earn a good income. When they do they’ll pay so much tax that my piddly contribution will be even more meaningless. Please don’t tell anybody else about my decision. If we all stop paying tax our country will be in a huge mess. Irresponsibility like this only works when kept for a limited few Gavin Brown East Geelong

made a similar observation. When our water was mainly sourced from the Otways we had very little to complain about. Now, with the addition of so many chemicals and so-called medications, namely fluoride, and having to buy expensive cask water for consumption results in an unhappy Barwon Water customer.

public forum attended by our various elected officials so the public can ask questions up close and personal to shed some light on the mysteries of government actions. The conduct of the present Federal Government is so outrageous it must be about time we got them in the flesh so we can get beyond the spin for some real answers. People must be fed up with the Government’s broken promises and reversals. It’s about time these politicians stopped hiding in their offices and taking overseas trips and fronted up to face the music. Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

community update

Welcome to our column in the Geelong Independent where we report on some of the recent activities within our business.

As part of ongoing environmental improvement plans, the smelter’s fume system will be upgraded in line with Alcoa’s broader sulphur dioxide management strategy. It is the highest priority environmental initiative for our operations at present and represents a $44 million capital investment.

“

This project will improve our environmental performance and support the sustainability of our operations…

“It follows our voluntary reduction in emission limits of sulphur dioxide in 2004,” Smelter Operations Manager Stewart Esdale said. Due for completion in 2013,

organisations are invited to apply for funding or in-kind support for programs and projects that help to build the skills, resources and expertise of our local community.

Alcoa will increase the height of the discharge points to improve gas dispersion via two tall stacks. Global engineering organisation Hatch is managing the project with their local engineering group.

The Community Grants program is part of Alcoa’s Partnering Stronger Communities program which also incorporates long-term community partnerships and employee volunteering.

This upgrade is one of two significant environmental projects underway at Point Henry. The other, the Green Mill Fume System upgrade costing $16 million, is due for completion in 2012.

All applications for Community Grants are assessed by a committee made up of employees from across all areas of the plant, including operators, staff and management.

Community Grants now open Did you know that more than $20,000 is available to local community organisations right now? As part of the Alcoa Community Grants Program, community local

Earlier this year, a total of $21,000 in grants was awarded to ten local community organisations namely: Geelong Supercats (School Holiday program), Geelong East Men’s Shed (De-fib machine), Read the Play (suicide awareness program), Karingal – All abilities netball competition (equipment and uniforms), Geelong Superules (Medical supplies), Torquay RSL (ANZAC Day event), Potato Shed (Family Fun Day), Geelong Advertiser (Newspapers in Education), Football Geelong Netball (Umpires program) and the Guild All-stars Baseball Club (juniors equipment).

Keeping you informed

Karingal’s All Ability Netball competition was among ten local community organisations to receive a share of $21,000 in the first round of Alcoa’s Community Grants in 2011.

Alcoa Point Henry has a range of forums to keep the local community up to date with the latest news from our operations. We welcome community input via these channels. • The Community Advisory Board (CAB) meets bi-monthly to discuss matters of importance to Alcoa and the local community. • Regular environmental and education activities are conducted as part of the Moolapio project, a partnership between Greening Australia and Alcoa at Point Henry. • Public tours include a guided walk-through of the smelter, rolling operations and Moolapio. • Alcoa’s e-newsletter is a great way to read about the latest news from our Australian operations.

Dedicated to eliminating unwanted hair GEELONG HAIR REMOVAL has the latest technology in hair removal with the Soprano laser. This new laser is proving to be popular with clients, particularly among men for their back, arms and chest areas. Getting rid of unwanted hair can boost a man’s conﬁdence and self-esteem. However, Soprano’s trademarked IN MOTION action gently heats the targeted area with pulses of energy that gradually heat the follicles in the skin’s sub dermal layer. While pain tolerance is subjective, many clients describe the sensation as soothing like a hot stone massage. Most laser hair removal technologies utilise large amounts of heat to destroy hair follicles and ensure permanent reduction.

But Soprano IN MOTION decreases the pain and minimises the risk of side effects, so numbing cream is not required. Geelong Hair Removal uses only industry gold-standard diode lasers, which are medically classified Grade 4B with a wavelength of 810 nanometres for permanent hair removal. The number of treatments required is significantly less than with IPL treatments.Electrolysis permanent hair removal is also available for light-coloured hair that is unsuitable for laster treatment. The benefits of each treatment with Geelong Hair Removal are savings in time and money. Free consultations and test patches are also available. Phone Geelong Hair Removal on 5221 3824.

Rolling Stones, Barbara Streisand, Aretha Franklin and John Farnham. McCallum said he hoped the songs from his album would resonate with people of all ages. “I chose songs I really connect with. “I think that if someone really believes something, really connects with something, then others pick up on that and sort of feel it, too. “I’m honestly just really looking forward to people just enjoying it. “The songs on the album are truly beautiful songs and in one way or another all convey a message of faith; faith in yourself, faith in your family or faith in whatever you hold dear.” McCallum will open for vocalist Duff on her 25 Australian tour dates. Duff, like McCallum, entered the music industry at age 12. She won an Irish talent contest and now, 23 years later, has claimed numerous music awards and toured the globe. Straalen McCallum and Mary Duff will perform at Geelong Performing Arts Centre this Friday night.

BY ERIN PEARSON TOURING the country is now daily life for 13-yearold superstar Straalen McCallum. Australia’s youngest ever solo performer to sign a record deal with Sony Music Australia is on his first national tour supporting Irish sweetheart Mary Duff. McCallum said he would use the tour to play songs off his debut album, A Little Faith. He described his fast track to stardom as overwhelming. “Oh my gosh, it’s totally unbelievable!” McCallum said. “I feel oh so privileged and incredibly lucky. “It still feels surreal and I’m totally thankful for the opportunity.” The dream started for the youngster when he performed the national anthem in front of 53,000 rugby fans at the 2010 State of Origin. Hand-picked and personally offered a record deal by Sony Music chief executive Denis Handlin when he was 12, McCallum has studied under leading Australian vocal coach Venetta Fields, who has worked with The

Paintings with Tang of China GEELONG will host a contemporary Chinese art exhibition never before seen in Australia, according to the director of the city’s gallery. Geoffrey Edwards said Geelong Gallery was the only Australian host of Reflections of the Soul – Chinese contemporary ink wash paintings. Mr Edwards said Chinese ink wash art was itself rare in Australia before. The Geelong exhibition would feature almost 40 pieces created in the traditional ink wash method, dating back to the Tang Dynasty from 618AD to 907AD. Mr Edwards said each piece was specially selected for the exhibition to help celebrate 2011

as the Year of Chinese Culture in Australia. The exhibition was “extremely exciting” for the region as an “unprecedented opportunity” to inspect works representing traditional Chinese art, he said. “We’re certainly seeing a resurgence in popularity of variations on the ancient Chinese tradition both in China and abroad and this style of work is fast becoming a hot property on the international art market. “The Geelong Gallery has worked very closely with the National Art Museum of China to bring this collection to Australia and we’ve been very fortunate to have two of the participating artists travel from China to assist with the installation of their works

in the gallery.” Mr Edwards said the exhibition featured nine contemporary artists exploring four specific themes including metropolitan life in China, the world of dreams and the relationship between Chinese opera and visual arts. The collection included some pieces spanning the width and height of the gallery space, he said. “All embrace the sublime tradition of ink wash painting and strongly reflect aspects of Chinese culture but do so with a wonderful modern twist.” Mr Edwards said Reflections of the Soul – Chinese contemporary ink wash painting would be on display until September 11, with admission free.

Everyone invited to Sphinx’s 40th party

KARAOKE FRIDAYS

phinx Hotel is in the middle of its 40th birthday celebrations with giveaways and parties to mark the milestone. Sphinx’s Julie Ramia Siketa says the venue has already given away a car to a lucky winner last week. Patrons who spent $20 in the venue were automatically entered into the draw, with Corio’s Ray Senior winning the keys to a Nissan Micra valued at $15,000. Sphinx Hotel holds its invitation-only big birthday bash on August 19 but patrons can win their way onto the exclusive guest list. Seventy-five double passes to the big birthday bash will be given away through Sphinx’s gaming room over the next two weeks. The birthday party will also be a reunion, with old friends and acquaintances, former staff and entertainers invited to relive the past four decades. Ray Ramia built the hotel in 1971. The venue is still family owned and operated under Ray’s children George, Paul and Julie. “We’ve seen a lot of changes, such as going from 10pm closing to 24-hour operations,” Julie says. “People these days expect high standards from a venue, like top customer service.”

2. Sift the flour into a medium bowl, then add a pinch of salt and the caster sugar. In a jug, combine the vegetable oil, egg, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Add to the dry mixture and stir to only just combine. Place a spoonful of the mixture in each muffin hole and make an indent in the centre. Fill each indent with a generous 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry jam. Cover the jam with the remaining muffin mixture and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. 3. Meanwhile, melt the butter. Combine the extra sugar and the cinnamon in a large bowl. When the muffins are cool enough to handle, brush each muffin with the melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar. Serve while still a little warm.

SHORES E

T A T

Cheapest Waterfront Homes in Australia A

n absolute waterfront village on the Bellarine Peninsula situated only 9km from the heart of Geelong is offering possibly the cheapest waterfront homes in Australia! Selling from just $136,500 for a one bedroom home (conditions apply), Pelican Shores Estate is a secure, friendly and established community for the mature aged.

Like many bab baby boomers heading to towards ke man ards retirement, you may be at the stage where you are starting to consider your future lifestyle. This is a major life decision and, after considering all the options available, more and more baby boomers are making the move into over-50s lifestyle villages like Pelican Shores Estate. At Pelican Shores you can enjoy an amazing waterfront location, downsize to hassle-free living and become part of a vibrant, active and like-minded community. You may also be able to free up extra cash to spend on the more

enjoyable things in life like travel. Another big attraction of this lifestyle option is the variety of designs and styles of manufactured homes from which to choose. Where established retirement villages often have homes that are already built and the buyer has no real opportunity to customise the design, a Pelican Shores Estate home is built in a quality controlled factory and can be easily personalised to reflect your individual tastes and needs. That means you can specify exactly what you want in your new home. An important feature for many new residents at Pelican Shores Estate is that their manufactured home and residential site has been designed to require the minimum of maintenance, leaving you free to enjoy the wonderful waterfront lifestyle on offer. We asked Andrew Hoffman of Hampshire Property Group, which is a supplier of manufactured homes to resorts in NSW and Victoria, why anyone would buy a manufactured home in a lifestyle village rather than a place in a retirement village. “That’s easy,” he answered. “When you buy a manufactured home in a lifestyle village there are minimal additional costs involved and the home design can be tailored to your specific needs. You may also be eligible for Commonwealth financial assistance and it makes better financial sense because you can avoid the additional cost of deferred management fees. In fact, the better question to ask would be, ‘Why buy in a retirement village?’”

Jack’s case of super planning BY GREG CRAWFORD, M.A.P FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS simple case study can help illustrate the value of seeking out a financial planner to boost superannuation ahead of retirement. Our study case, who we’ll call Jack, is aged 60 and still working full-time. He has a salary of $75,000 and a super balance of $120,000. Jack knows that his super savings will not be enough to fund the kind of retirement he wants.

In search of a solution, Jack consults a financial planner and agrees to salary sacrifice $17,700 into his super and use the tax saving to further build for his retirement. In order to put him in the same cash-flow position he currently enjoys, Jack transfers his super balance over to a retirement account that enables him to draw up to 10 per cent per annum as a tax-free pension. The outcome is that in one year he has increased his super by $3023 due to the net tax saved.

Additionally, the retirement account does not incur the 15 per cent tax on earnings, so the returns on average will be around one per cent higher, or about another $1200 per annum. As a result, Jack enjoys a total additional $4200 per annum. In order to be better informed about these opportunities we encourage you to attend an M.A.P Financial Solutions seminar in September. For more information phone M.A.P Financial Solutions on 5229 0200.

Tweaked BY ERIC BLAIR he latest Mercedes-Benz C-Class has gone on sale in Australia, only weeks after being launched in Europe. Over 8.5 million mid-size Mercedes have been sold to date so its continued success is extremely important. This is not an all-new model, but there are so many changes that it almost deserves to be regarded as one. Something like 2000 components have either been replaced or modified. Changes to the front and rear styling are significant. The radiator has a more upright stance and in standard and Avantgarde guise the frontal look follows the latest Mercedes design theme loosely based on that of the SLS Gullwing supercar. Just look at that big grille with the central three-pointed star to see what we mean. The rear end has a reshaped bumper and rear lights as well as a brighter look due to extra chrome plating. The Benz C-Class in Elegance format has a more refined, less sporting look in its grille than the others and has its star sitting on the top of the bonnet in the traditional Mercedes

A Daimler Brand

Make-over: Mercedes C-Class has a more upmarket appearance thanks to a restyle both inside and out.

manner. Inside, the latest Mercedes CClass has received a total redesign, with a new dash area that looks upmarket and elegant. We particularly like the style of the new three-dial instrument layout. While the redesign of the three-dial instrument layout will be familiar to longtime Mercedes owners it will also appeal to newcomers to the marque who will appreciate the high-tech look. The reshaped bonnet and the front guards are made from aluminium to cut down vehicle mass as part of the drive to trim fuel consumption and emissions. Aerodynamics are also important and the C-Class has a drag coefficient of just 0.26, an excellent figure for a car of this size. The Mercedes C-Class engines not only reduce consumption and emissions but also give more power and torque. New engines comprise four and sixcylinder petrol and diesel units. Part of the fuel saving is due to the use of a seven-speed automatic transmission.

At this time only the sedan and estate wagon variants of the C-Class have been launched in Australia. The two-door coupe has just arrived with the red hot AMG sports versions due to be shipped in towards the end of 2011. With a price list starting ranging from $58,900 to $84,400 there is plenty of choice in the latest MercedesBenz C-Class range. You get a lot of prestigious automobile for your money and we can see the C-Class exceeding its already good Australian sales figures with ease.

Automatics will be fitted in all models imported to Australia. The automatic is an excellent unit with smooth but fast changes and is quick to understand the needs of the driver and the road conditions. We have sampled a number of these new Mercedes powertrains both here in Australia and at the international launch in March this year. All are smooth and responsive in their actions and are pleasant to sit behind. In particular, we drove the Mercedes-Benz C-Class C250 CDI turbo-diesel. With 150 kW of power and 500 Nm of torque it pulls like a sportscar, with acceleration from zero to 100 in just six seconds. Or more use in the real world is the ability to overtake while spending a minimum of time on the wrong side of the road. On the road we found the C-Class to be even more sophisticated in its handling and overall comfort than the superseded model. Indeed, it doesn’t lag far behind its big brothers the Mercedes E-Class and even the SClass in the way if feels. Obviously the extra space inside the larger Mercs gives them an edge in the luxury-travel stakes, but they don’t have a price list starting at a mere $58,900 (unchanged from the superseded model).

sport Swans to beat Robbo’s Joeys THE BIGGEST game of footy in town is at McDonald Reserve on Saturday when South Barwon hosts St Joseph’s. The Swans sit second on the ladder and Joeys is third and assured of a top three finish but with the finals just around the corner the winner will go into those finals knowing it has the other side’s measure. Joeys coach Russell Robertson is on fire at the moment, kicking bags of 13 in each of the past two games to put his side on a big winning streak. Luke Forbes, Hayden Foss, Dan Lovick and Brett Jackman keep appearing in the best players but they get plenty of support from the likes of Paul Minne and

Joeys will have its heart set on it but the Swans will be too good. Other selections: WEST SAINTS v Grovedale, Lara v BELL PARK, Leopold v ST MARY’S, NEWTOWN v Colac, St Albans v NORTH SHORE.

Local Footy FRANK MASON Joe Macula. What more can you say about South Barwon after stating it has won five of the past six premierships and still has good young players popping up to help out its experienced stars. The club is the envy of the league and plenty would love to see it knocked off its perch.

BFL Anglesea is firmly entrenched in Bellarine Football League’s top five and this weekend it finds out whether its premiership hopes are real when it hosts top-of-the-ladder Queenscliff. The Roos set a cracking pace at the start of the year and headed the ladder. They then dropped off the pace a bit due to injuries but still sit in fourth spot only eight

points shy of top spot. Anglesea is truly back in town, with Marcus Smith, Devon Smith and David Mensch leading the way. Queenscliff is taking no prisoners in its charge to taking out a long awaited premiership and has every right to be confident after beating every side in the league at least once. Roscoe Holmes, Steve Owen and the Orvis boys are just a few of good players in a very-wellbalanced outfit. This will be a game worthy of finals in intensity and it will be the Coutas who prevail, just. Other selections: AMATEURS v Portarlington, OCEAN GROVE

v Torquay, Newcomb v BARWON HEADS, Drysdale v MODEWARRE.

GDFL Geelong and District Football League plays its last round of home-and-away games tomorrow. With the final five already set, the interest is how Belmont Lions will finish off its year. The Lions cannot play finals due to a poor start to the year but have turned themselves into one of the form sides of the competition by winning their last six games. First-year coach Paul Nigro has repaid the Lions faith in him by rebuilding the flailing club into a

competitive outfit. This weekend the Lions travel up the road to Galvin Park to take on third placed Werribee Centrals. The Centurions are building themselves for a crack at the premiership and are well-primed after flogging fellow finals side Thomson last weekend. It would be a fairytale finish for the Lions to knock off a finalist but the Centurions won’t be having any of that and should win a close one. Other selections: ANAKIE v Corio, Winchelsea v INVERLEIGH, THOMSON v Geelong West, North Geelong v BELL POST HILL, Bannockburn v EAST GEELONG.

Anglers stay calm as run of salmon stretch arms along our coast On the bite BRIAN LONG CALM conditions created fantastic fishing in the past week, particularly for salmon action from our surf beaches. John Mole and I spent a few hours last weekend stretching our arms with quality salmon from both Fairhaven and Eastern View. Lures certainly accounted for all our fish as bait anglers nearby caught only the odd salmon. A follow up session the following day with my wife, Jeanette, produced another swag of fish caught and released. They were a little smaller but still heaps of fun on 3kg outfits. Salmon were also taken from the mouth of the Cumberland River, with some pushing over 2kg and most averaging around 900g. Reports from Jan Juc, Bancoora and Collendina were average, although these locations produced the biggest fish at 2.5kg to 2.9kg. Peter Farnsworth headed offshore from The Rip to fish in around 20m of water for a mixed bag of snapper to 3kg, one nice gummy shark and plenty of big couta. Terry Sharp also found the couta offshore, losing many rigs before switching to wire trace and boating eight to 2.8kg. Bendigo’s John and Noel Forbes fished Queenscliff Bight to land their combined bag limit of whiting in a frantic two hours. They then shifted location to catch six squid around 1kg each in close to Bell Reef. Whiting were also taken in good numbers in the shallows off Edwards Point where many anglers also took bag limits of quality squid.

Weekend wonder: Jeanette Long with a pair of salmon from Fairhaven. Drifting in 10m off St Leonards produced reasonable numbers of flathead, with anglers using soft plastics catching the better fish on four-inch Gulp minnows. Clifton Springs’ ramp was a hive of activity, especially when Paul Bartlett returned with two magnificent snapper over 8kg each. Paul wouldn’t give his exact location but said it was in 15m of water.

Squid were taken in the shallow grass beds off Hermsley on small jig in more-natural colours. Soft plastics anglers fished the outer harbour spoil grounds for some quality snapper. Four fish over 4kg each were landed, with hooks pulling on quite a few big fish. Land-based anglers found snapper at Point Lillias. All the results were after dark, with anglers advised to remember that Point Lillias always fishes best a

few days either side of the full moon. Snotty trevalla became hard to find along Geelong’s waterfront but bait anglers fishing in between the moored boats at Fishermen’s Pier found silver trevally and some great snapper despite the location’s many snags. Land-based snapper reports from North Shore Rocks and St Helens were down but both should be worth fishing this weekend on the early morning high tides from around 3.30am. Serious snapper anglers put in some long hours on the bay with mixed results. Most struggled to boat a fish although a few still managed to find some hot action. Steve Reese fished for three hours without turning a reel but at 10pm just as he was about to call it quits two rods folded with 3kg fish. Over the next two hours Steve caught and released another seven in what Steve described as a trip of a lifetime. Freshwater anglers also made the most of great conditions, with Lake Tooliorook and Deep Lake returning rainbows averaging 1kg on both bait and lure. Powerbait was the best bait, with live minnow also worthwhile. Successful lures were Tassie Devils and Lil Rippers in the clear colours. Anyone seeking big trout should try Lake Bullen Merri where most of the big browns over 5kg have been taken after dark on live gudgeon. Fish have also been caught during daylight on the troll, with the middle of the day best when using ever-reliable Tassie Devils in the gold colours. Anglers who catch recently released Atlantic salmon should remember to handle them carefully and release the fish as soon as possible so they can grow to full potential. This weekend’s best options include salmon off the beach at Eastern View from mid afternoon until dark or trout at Lake Tooliorook with Powerbait fished on the bottom or small lures.

KING MICK (7) proved too strong when he scored a handy 26.20 win here last start and he may benefit from the step up in distance here. SHE'S A JET (1) is capable of getting forward early from this inside draw.

ED PACINO (1) is a powerful chaser who appears well drawn here and he may prove too good. PROVEN CHEVY (3) only needs to avoid early bother to show his best. LEKTRA JAY (6) has had no luck of late and can improve.

ELLA ALLEN (8) must be considered in this event after she recently scored a smart 23.40 win at Horsham. WHERE'S LORRY (2) has been racing in consistent form and he looks the main danger. DYNA CLAYTON (6) has appeal.
