Dogs’ no go zone

BY KIM WATERS QUEENSCLIFFE council’s proposal to ban dogs on a Point Lonsdale beach has won community backing following ongoing reports of attacks on endangered wildlife.

Residents labeled the proposal “sensible” amid fears unleashed dogs would wipe out a small population of endangered hooded plovers.

Bellarine Catchment Network coastal coordinator Sue Longmore said the native species was “very vulnerable” and highly endangered.

“Unfortunately this bird’s peak breeding period is also during the peak beach season,” Ms Longmore said.

“The chicks are pretty helpless when they’re first born and have to feed down amongst the algae and seaweed brought up from the tide.

“If animals get too close then the adult plovers try to steer them away and it leaves the chicks open to predation.”

The council proposes to enforce an area where dogs will be prohibited year-round between the beach access tracks 3W and 4W on the Point Lonsdale back beach.

Geelong Environment Council president Joan Lindros supported the proposal and said signage near the beach had been ineffective.

“They’ve had signs up in the area warning people to control their dogs and walk below the high tide mark

but people haven’t obeyed that,” Ms Lindros said.

“There are only 400 or so of these hooded plovers left in Australia and it’s very important that we protect them.”

Queenscliff Community Association member David Kenwood said unleashed dogs had been an ongoing problem in the area for a few years.

“There has been this constant issue with dogs attacking the hooded plovers but also quite a few incidences where residents have been bitten or attacked,” Mr Kenwood said.

“Something needed to be done about it and I think council has made the right decision.”

Mr Kenwood said locals were committed to protecting the population of endangered birds but were hindered by “uneducated tourists”.

“The main issue is that tourists bring their dogs for a walk on the beach and don’t realise how much damage they can do to the wildlife and the environment,” he said.

“Anytime you try to place restrictions on foreshore land there are problems but I hope everyone realises that there are plenty of other alternative sites in the area for dog walking.

“A dog-walking beach is a difficult facility to provide and people need to realise that the restrictions are in place for the safety of the environment, the wildlife and other beach users.”

Gong for museum: June Negri said funding will help the maritime museum develop an interactive tour around the Queenscliff Harbour and Fishermen’s Flat area.

BY KIM WATERS QUEENSCLIFFE Maritime Museum has swept aside dusty relics and old-fashioned displays and moved into a new age of interactive education.

The museum received a $3175 State Government Local History grant last week for the development of an interpretive tour and online education resource.

Museum secretary June Negri said the interactive tour will include a guided historic walk around the town detailing the history of the Queenscliff Harbour and the Fishermen’s Flat precinct.

The new program will also feature a virtual town tour and an interactive quiz.

Ms Negri said the project was initiated after requests from teachers and group leaders for a structured, educational and interactive museum activity.

“The Fishermen’s Flat area near the harbour was one of the first parts of Queenscliff occupied by settlers and this interpretive tour will capture and preserve the stories of the area and foreshore,” Ms Negri said.

“The spot was only occupied by boat builders and fishermen much like the mining areas in Ballarat and Bendigo.

“The land was leased out until about 1968, and when they changed the land leases for the mining towns they also changed the lease on the Fishermen’s Flat to a freehold title.”

She predicted tours would start towards the end of the year and hoped the new program would attract visitors.

“Like any not-for-profit organisation we rely on visitors to keep us open,” Ms Negri said.

“School groups and adult tours are how we keep the museum going so I’m hoping this will be a popular attraction for visitors.”

in brief

It’ll be claws out at this weekend’s cat show

BY ALEX DE VOS THERE’S no room on stage for a timid lap cat at this year’s Geelong All Breeds Cat Club’s annual championship show, according to Abyssinian breeder Melissa Mitchell.

“It’s important that cats have a good temperament because the judges take them out of the cages, hold them up in the air and check their paws,” the Herne Hill resident told the Independent.

“A timid cat isn’t much good the judges like to see them alert.”

Fortunately, Ms Mitchell’s cats tick all the boxes.

“My cats generally do very well,” she said.

“They’re very outgoing, friendly and active and tend to steal the show. They have no fear and want to speak to everybody.”

Known for their playful and intelligent characteristics, Ms Mitchell said Abyssinian cats were made for the stage.

Little effort was required to groom them to purrfection, she said.

“They’re short coated cats - just one brush and away they go,” she said.

More than 200 cats and kittens will be on display at Sunday’s 24th annual championship show.

The show would also feature a variety of Siamese, Oriental and domestic cats.

“It’s great to check how your breeding is going and to compare your cats to other cats,” Ms Mitchell said.

She expected the competition to be fierce.

“A lot of people take it very seriously.”

Geelong All Breeds Cat Club will run its championship show at Vines Road Community Centre.

The show is open to the public from 1.30pm.

Green teacher ASHBY Primary School teacher Wayne Holloway has been named Australia’s greenest teacher at the Sanyo Oceania and Clean Up Australia’s Green Teacher Awards.

Mr Holloway was recognised for his Ashby Re-Use a Shoe project which educated students about the challenges landfill poses to the environment.

Cycling rise BICYCLE Victoria’s annual bike count has revealed a dramatic rise in the number of Geelong cyclists commuting to work.

The March survey counted 70 riders entering Lara Road, Station Lake Road and The Centreway junction.

Sports upgrade SPORTS Minister James Merlino and Member for Geelong Ian Trezise have announced a $60,000 funding boost towards new player and umpire change rooms at Geelong West Oval.

Mr Merlino said the project would also include the redevelopment of the grandstand.

Volunteers honoured THE NATIONAL Wool Museum will honour five volunteers who have dedicated 20 years of service to the museum Norma Dessent, Everett Foster, Noel Balaam, Ruth Pop and Alison McCook were recognised as part of Volunteers Week.

Dog laws STATE Parliament has introduced tough new laws to crack down on dangerous dogs.

Agriculture Minister Joe Helper said the new laws would allow council officers to immediately seize or destroy unregistered and unidentifiable “vicious and aggressive” dogs.

Council budget unveiled sting users $2.7 million more than last year.

Under the City of Greater Geelong’s 2010/2011 budget which was unveiled this week, childcare fees will rise $15 a week while parking fees have increased to $2 an hour.

Animal control and registrations have jumped three per cent and a 12-month membership to the City’s leisure and outdoor aquatic centres will sting residents an extra $45.

The Independent revealed a fortnight ago that the cost of dumping rubbish at Geelong tips could also jump up to 50 per cent in July under a new environment landfill levy.

Dumping a trailer full of rubbish will now increase from $21 to $32.50 at the North Geelong and Drysdale resource recovery centres.

Big ticket items in the City’s capital works program included $4.2 million to undertake stage one of the Geelong Ring Road Employment Precinct and $4 million to redevelop the Yarra Street Pier.

Other projects included $11.9 million for roads, $3.5 million for drains and $2.5 million for footpaths.

Libraries throughout the municipality will share in a $3.5 million makeover fund while $1.3 million will be injected into the 2010 UCI Road World Championships.

Community services funding included $30.7 million for aged and family services including day care and child health.

Cr Mitchell said he was “proud” of this year’s budget.

He said the budget reflected the “diverse funding priorities of a large and growing municipality”.

“The City remains in a strong financial position we are budgeting for a recurrent surplus of $4 million to provide additional funding for the capital works program,” Cr Mitchell said.

“Despite increased to external costs the council has worked very hard on this budget to avoid passing on these cost increases to ratepayers.”

BY ALEX DE VOS GEELONG rates will rise 4.9 per cent to cover a $64 million capital works program and an $8.3 million jump in council salaries.

City of Greater Geelong Mayor John Mitchell labelled the hike, which is set to sting ratepayers an extra $1 per week, “affordable”.

“We anticipate a 4.9 per cent increase will prove to be one of the lowest in the state,” Cr Mitchell said.

Melbourne City Council’s rates will rise a modest 1.9 per cent while delivering an $84 million funding boost to the City’s infrastructure.

Melbourne’s city is traditionally the highest revenue-raising municipality in Victoria.

Cr Mitchell blamed the Federal Government’s enterprise bargaining agreement for the jump in council wages, which have risen from $85 million to $93 million.

Council also expected revenue from fees and charges to rise, with an eight per cent increase set to

Taxi driver set for ‘raft of charges’

GEELONG’S best young performers have showcased their talents at the Powercor Star Search talent quest auditions over the past two weeks.

The judges had a tough job to select 15 rising stars from the vocalists and instrumentalists who auditioned for the right to perform at the grand final.

According to judge Malcolm John, this year’s standard was very high.

“We were really impressed with the calibre of all the performers and look forward to seeing the grand finalists on stage at Costa Hall,” he said.

Matthew Flinders year 12 student Cassandra Whittem is among those who’ll be on centre stage at the grand final.

A vocalist and pianist, Cassandra is aiming high and hopes to do further study in performance theatre and even Broadway.

Cassandra comes from a musical family where everyone sings or plays an instrument.

“My family sings all the time. It defines who we are. We even sing when we’re washing the dishes!” she said.

The other grand final vocalists are: David Homewood, Darcy Carroll, Anna Ballinger, Laura Baxter, Jessica Costa and Eleanore Gardner.

The grand final instrumentalists are: Cameron Smith, Adrian King, Clare Duck, Jamie Parker, Eda Kaynak, Christian College VCE Brass Band, The Pick Ups and The Sax Quartet.

The Powercor Star Search grand final will be held at 7.30pm on Saturday May 29 at Deakin University’s Costa Hall.

Grand final tickets need to be booked soon as seats are selling fast. Tickets are available from Rotary on 5229 1626 or GPAC on 5225 1200: $20, Concession: $15. Family: $55.

The Independent supports this community service event organised by the Rotary Club of Highton.

relation to the alleged attack.

“We’ve been able to identify members of the public who have seen his manner of driving while chasing the youths and have made statements to police,” he said.

The “serious” allegations would take four to six weeks to investigate, he said.

“We take the matter very seriously that is why a thorough investigation will occur,” Sgt Riches said.

Police said Mr Dengler chased four males after an egg was thrown at his car.

Police allege the driver took a tyre lever from his taxi and smashed the youth’s car.

Last week the Independent revealed the incident had “uncovered” a range of “concerns” for drivers.

Geelong Taxi Network chief executive officer Peter Valentine urged authorities to improve safety for drivers to avoid incidents spiralling out of control.

“Many drivers face unacceptable and unsavoury experiences with passengers who choose to treat drivers with little respect for the job they are performing and, accordingly, drivers find they’re on guard at all times,” Mr Valentine said.

Hopeful: Cassandra Whittem is one of seven vocalists selected to perform in the Star Search grand final.

BY ALEX DE VOS A GEELONG taxi driver who allegedly wrecked the car of egg-throwing youths after instigating a high-speed chase will face a “raft of serious charges”, according to Corio police.

Senior constable Aaron Riches expected the 42-year-old Hamlyn Heights resident to face charges including “conduct endangering life, conduct endangering serious injury, driving in a dangerous manner, driving at a dangerous speed, careless driving and criminal damage”.

He said police were still investigating the incident, which started in Ryrie Street on May 1.

He expected the driver, Alan Dengler to appear in front of Geelong Magistrate’s Court next month.

“Based on the evidence so far I think being charged is a foregone conclusion,” Sgt Riches told the Independent.

“His driving was calculated, deliberate and reckless - his desire to apprehend these kids has taken over any regard to other road users.”

He said six witnesses had contacted police to make formal statements in

Latin: Dancesport Victoria contestants enthrall a sellout crowd at Club Italia.

Dancesport festival packs out Moolap venue

BY ANDREW MATHIESON A SELLOUT crowd for the inaugural Geelong Classic Dancesport Festival has forced organisers to consider moving the event to a bigger venue.

More than 500 spectators packing into Moolap’s Club Italia last Saturday to watch some of Australia’s top ballroom dancers have overwhelmed organisers.

Dancesport Victoria took control of Geelong’s premier event after recent attempts to launch similar ballroom dancing in the city struggled to gain groundswell support.

Organiser Pam Courts said Geelong’s Arena was already one option.

“We will go back there (to Club Italia) next year, but we will have to eventually look for a much bigger venue,” “That will definitely be in the future.”

She said the crowd figures far exceeded expectations, but no one missed out on a ticket.

Adults paid $28 for a table seat, $18 for general admission and $12 for children.

“I would say we were to capacity,” Mrs Courts said.

“So probably the seating will have to change.

“I thought it was a bit crowded having all the tables and then the seating behind them.”

Most of the leading competitors were from Melbourne, but she said Geelong produced a “big contingent”.

The festival featured 60 singles entries and 80 registered “competitive” couples over five age categories in standard, new vogue and Latin.

She also said the schools team challenge added to the success.

“Everyone was saying it won’t work and they have all been quite shocked,” she said.

Song could unearth Sweethearts

BY ANDREW MATHIESON A GEELONG high school band that is winning rapturous applause from radio listeners is this week on the cuff of being crowned Australia’s most talented musical teens.

The latest incarnation of Sweethearts, first created out of Matthew Flinders Girls High School more than two decades ago, is leading hundreds of young student acts in Triple J’s Unearthed High competition.

And the latest batch of Geelong schoolgirls could also capture the more prestigious Unearthed title for unsigned bands of any age judging by its growing number of online votes.

Australian chart toppers Silverchair, Missy Higgins and Killing Heidi have rocked to fame

over the years from the national radio broadcaster’s Unearthed project that digs up hidden musical talent.

Sweethearts’ musical director Ross Lipson was rapt the hit song Secret has struck a chord with a legion of fans.

“We released it on Unearthed and we’re just amazed how quickly it’s jumped up there,” he said.

“It has got good air time on Triple J.” The song has climbed to number one on the Unearthed High list and had more than 5000 plays off the competition website in less than three weeks.

Mr Lipson said the new-soul performers that fuses Motown sounds had little expectations.

“I don’t really think they thought much about it before,” he said.

“But we’re not really that concerned about winning.

“It’s all about getting the exposure for the song.”

Sweethearts are jetting off to Europe this winter to play a series of festivals for eight weeks.

Secret’s songwriter Phoebe Stretton-Smith paid tribute to the band members in bringing her words alive.

“To have your own composition so well received by the listeners is amazing,” she said.

“I just love the arrangement that the girls create around my song.”

The group consists of 27 girls but only half of them perform on their latest title track.

Musicians from several schools have joined the bulk of the band’s Matthew Flinders High students on its eighth album.

The total amount borrowed as at 30 June 2010 is expected to be $36.04M. There are no new borrowings proposed in the budget.

The total amount projected to be redeemed during the financial year is $4.53M. The projected total amount of borrowings as at 30 June 2011 is $31.51M. The projected interest expense on loans during the financial year is $2.38M. The proposed General Rate to be raised by the application of differential rates and rates pursuant to the Cultural and Recreational Lands Act are set out below: 6.1 6.2 6.3 6.4 6.5 6.6 6.7 6.8 6.9 6.10 6.11

ROAD RENAMING

Swap meet is top event

The City of Greater Geelong intends to rename a section of Glamis Street, Newtown.

BY GREG WANE FRED Harris has been told the Bay City Swap Meet is one of the best run meets in Victoria.

He is humble about the praise, but most of 4000 people who attended last Saturday’s event at Geelong Showgrounds would probably agree.

Fred is the president of Geelong’s Western District Historic Vehicle Club and together with about 230 club members start planning six months out from the meet that attracts more than 500 trading sites that cover the entire showgrounds arena.

The section to be renamed is between West Fyans Street and Buckingham Road, Newtown. The name chosen for this street is Dodds Way, Newtown.

Above is a map showing the street to be named.

Written submissions regarding this intention must be received within 30 days of the date of this public notice to Cynthia Johnston, Property and Valuations Section, PO Box 104, Geelong VIC 3220.

“There’s a lot of things to put in place to run an event like this,” Fred said as he sipped coffee during a break on Saturday. “There’s all sorts of permits and promotion to be done.

It’s the club’s major annual fundraiser.”

Fred said the club had been organising the event for the past 13 years.

Buyers and sellers from many regions in Victoria were at the showgrounds from 7am on Saturday to hunt through the hundreds of stalls selling and swapping car and bike parts, auto books and memorabilia.

Tip fees up

BY ANDREW MATHIESON GEELONG ratepayers will fork out an extra $1.5 million into State Government coffers from the new environmental landfill levy, according to a Geelong-based Opposition MP. Upper House Member for Western Victoria David Koch said the government was using councils as a “revenue collection agency” in the guise of an environmental initiative.

“The burden will be passed onto ratepayers through higher fees and charges,” he said.

City Hall announced new charges in this week’s budget after Geelong councillors first raised fears of a 50 per cent tip hike more than a fortnight ago over changes to state legislation.

Dumping a trailer full of rubbish will now increase from $21 to $32.50 at the North Geelong and Drysdale resource recovery centres.

DRAINAGE / FLOOD STUDY DRAFT REPORT DONGA ROAD / EDOLS STREET MAIN DRAIN CATCHMENT AT BELL PARK AND NORTH GEELONG The study is utilising computer modelling to identify properties that are affected by a ‘once in one hundred year’ flood.

The City is seeking public comment on the Draft Report of the Donga Road / Edols Street Main Drain Catchment Drainage / Flood Study.

HOW TO MAKE A SUBMISSION

Garbage collection and disposal will also rise from $183.50 to $190.80 to cover the new government tax.

Minister for Environment and Climate Change Gavin Jennings told the Victorian parliament that councils that opposed the increased taxes were behind a “vexatious campaign” against the government.

“The Minister’s use of parliament to attack local councils demonstrates Labor’s heavy-handed approach toward Local Government,” Mr Koch said.

Councillor Stretch Kontelj told the Independent a fortnight ago that Geelong’s council would be forced to pass on the extra costs to residents.

Cr Kontelj said the latest levy that would hit families hard was “political soap-boxing”.

“The State Government is using municipal councils as revenue collectors without directing funds back to councils,” he said.

IT LOOKS a throwback to yesteryear, but just like the 33-year-old’s funky, retro sideburns, Cameron White looks a part of the furniture.

In an era of multi-million dollar indoor sport complexes springing up all over the place, Belmont’s Club Reflex still retains some old-fashioned charms.

“It feels like a second home,” Cameron, who runs the squash centre, nods.

Players have to trudge their way down narrow hallways just to reach the changerooms.

Then they are greeted to a bunch of flowers on the wash basin, ferns hanging off the walls and frosted glass doors on the showers.

A couple of archaic squash courts are converted into a gritty-looking gym and in days of healthy choices, sweet-tasting snakes and other confectionery still line the front counter.

The man, who sells the racquets, runs court hire and weekly competitions, then coaches on the side, is no mug and breathes the business.

“But I knew I’d never have a real job,” he laughs.

“I have never known coming up through school what I wanted to do.”

So Cameron instead played on the professional circuit – and then racquetball, even better – that started after the 10-year-old was watching dad play on a Numurkah back squash court.

He would reach number 48 in world rankings, but sacrificed cash riches to improve his game and see the world.

“You’re not out there, making big dollars in squash that you could potentially do if you were working a normal job,” Cameron says.

“But if you were back home, you’re not

BEST ADVICE

Squash that: Cameron White shows off his impressive forehand.

Picture: Tommy Ritchie travelling to Egypt and seeing the Pyramids, you’re not in Malaysia eating on the streets or you’re not breathing New York.

“You can’t put a dollar amount on that.”

That sometimes meant sleeping in an airport when he had no money or staying at a dodgy Pakistani motel that were overran with cockroaches.

But the turning point for walking away from competitive squash was missing out on a spot in the Australian team for the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

The game itself still lies at the bottom of his heart, but sure enough racquetball fills up his trophy cabinet.

Nine Australian racquetball titles, including the past eight, are testimony to that.

“It’s one of those things – everybody asks how many have you won, but I don’t really count,” Cameron insists.

“All I say is the more you win, the older you get.”

The bouncier ball and bigger racquets makes the sport a good option compared to squash when the body ages and the knees give out.

But Cameron has broken the stranglehold

of racquetball’s friendly etiquette of prolonging long rallies.

“A lot of the traditional racquetballers just tend to keep the ball in play, waiting for an error, a bit like squash use to be like in the 1970s,” he says.

“I tried to think that a bouncier ball gives you more time to get into position to play a better shot.”

Racquetball success ran parallel to Cameron’s move to Geelong just over a decade ago with wife Sally.

They were teenagers when they met at the Victorian Institute of Sport as budding squash players, but a back injury forced Sally to quit squash prematurely.

Not that it’s a bad thing for the Grovedale family – and their two little girls.

Cameron hesitates for a moment, before flippantly hinting she’s not always been his best partner.

“We were traditionally not great with each other on court,” he smiles.

“Sometimes I just think husbands and wives can’t work that well together when you’re trying to get the best out of yourself.”

Do Bowelscan test TEN YEARS ago Max Davies and Pat Naughtin considered buying and using a Bowelscan test kit. Max did the test and Pat did not.

Now Max and Pat are actively encouraging everyone over aged 40 to get a Bowelscan test kit. But Max and Pat are promoting Bowelscan for completely different reasons. Max’s Bowelscan test 10 years ago was positive. A further examination found that Max had potentially pre-cancerous growths called polyps and these were removed. Pat didn’t take the test 10 years and he also kept putting it off each year. He was recently diagnosed as having bowel cancer. The cancer has produced secondary cancers in his liver and his lungs.

“Don’t be an idiot like me – go and buy your Bowelscan test kit now. They’re only $10 and they tell me they’re very easy to use,” Pat said.

“Don’t wait until it’s too late.”

Max is still clear of cancer. He checks this by doing a Bowelscan test every year. He is fit and well, enjoys his competitive bowls and caravan holidays.

Pat spends his time going through cycles of chemotherapy. tions of radiotherapy and surgery.

Bowelscan kits are available during May at your local pharmacy. They cost $10.

Make sure that your information details on the registration card are clear and return your test kit to the Bowelscan container at your pharmacy.

BY KIM WATERS LINGERING affects of the global financial crisis are still being felt in Geelong with a surge in divorce rates due to financial stress, according to a spokesperson for Victoria Legal Aid. The spokesperson said Legal Aid had seen an increase in the number of Geelong couples splitting up over debt, unpayable fines and credit card bills.

“The problems are varied and multiple but we have seen a lot more divorces and separations due to financial stress,” the spokesperson said.

“Losing their homes, being in debt or having fines they can’t pay puts huge financial stress on a family and it has resulted in a lot of families breaking up.

“The financial crisis has definitely had a huge impact on Geelong families in this way.”

IT WAS great to see the AFL and all clubs embrace Mother’s Day as an opportunity to acknowledge the contribution mothers and women in general make to the success of the AFL by incorporating pink into uniforms and promotional material.

The AFL has come a long way from the days when game days were considered a ‘boy’s day out’ along with all the connotations that it brings.

I’d like to suggest one further symbolic enhancement to the day and that is the use of pink Sherrin footballs for all AFL games played on the Mother’s Day round of games.

In the US, all major league baseballers bat with pink bats on Mother’s Day and I can say from personal experience that the pink Sherrin would be an absolute hit with fans.

I was in recent past GM of Sportsco, and can say that the limited-offer pink Sherrin was always most in demand and sold out in advance of delivery to stores.

Women and girls of all ages are taking an increased interest in the AFL as spectators, administrators, officials and players. I believe the use of a pink Sherrin on Mother’s Day would be a fitting tribute to the increasing contribution and involvement of women in Aussie Rules football.

A victim of climate THE EXQUISITE orange bellied parrot, a species unique to our corner of the planet is about to become extinct. Where is the outcry? Where is the outrage as a whole species is snuffed out on our doorstep in this, the eighth richest country in the world.

We should hang our heads in shame for not protecting it better.

It should be noted that the longest and most intense drought in living memory sounded the final death knell for this wonderful creature. A drought made worse by climate change and our woeful mismanagement of this country’s environment. I hold climate skeptics and Tony Abbott and his ignorant cronies responsible, not for the loss of this species but for slowing down progress towards a carbon-free economy, thereby placing in jeopardy more of our

unique wildlife and ultimately our future on this planet.

The best hope we have is a Labor victory in the next election with the Greens in the senate forcing the government to strengthen their previously weak emissions trading scheme. Let’s hope it’s not too late.

Leigh Adamson Belmont

Live sustainably CLIMATE deniers try to quote impressive sounding figures or new theories to cloud the issue. Mr Watson has cited a baffling combination of volcanoes, earthquakes, and a solar heliosphere reversal to explain the climate change. In reality there is a simple theory which explains climate change.

Humans burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and carrying out other activities (agriculture, deforestation) have released large enough quantities of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere to trap extra heat and warm the planet.

Mr Barron contests that the carbon dioxide has come from volcanoes, despite volcanoes releasing less than one per cent of the carbon dioxide released from human activity.

If volcanoes were causing a rise in carbon dioxide levels there should be spikes in the record after major eruptions, rather than the smooth gradual rise that has been recorded with detailed measurement.

And by the way, Himalayan glaciers are still melting, and nearby residents are already having to deal with glacial lake outburst flooding.

It is clear that humans are responsible for the enhanced greenhouse affect. Evidence to explain this has been clearly put forward and rigorously tested in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

The tragedy is while some people spread misinformation and confusing figures, the world loses time to take action. We know what we have to do - gain our electricity from 100 per cent renewable sources, transform our modes of transport, and reduce our resource use.

We should not see this as daunting rather as an opportunity for Geelong and an exciting challenge to live more sustainable and fulfiling lives.

Dave Campbell Hamlyn Heights

Changing climate IN REPLY to Thomas Watson (Letters, April 30), I do not fear but I do reason and I understand the scientific data that mankind has been existing in a way that is anything but ‘normal’ since the industrial revolution.

The burning of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide, has accelerated with population growth and increasing demand on resources. Carbon dioxide has built up in the Earth’s atmosphere and is slowly changing our climate.

This is indisputably due to man’s recent activity. The world’s leading scientists and political leaders have agreed that the current climate change is not a natural occurrence. They are instead, seeking to reverse this trend. Cleaner, more sustainable, less polluting sources of energy are possible and action needs to be taken to avoid or reduce the known detrimental effects of global warming.

Alan Barron’s letter (Letters, April 30) “Volcanoes cause global warming because they emit carbon dioxide, which hangs in the atmosphere,” also claimed that the influence of man is “insignificant compared with the mighty forces of nature”.

True in terms of instant impact but long term I would dispute this. Our exponential population growth has impacted on fauna and has destroyed most of the forests which would otherwise have sequestered some of the carbon dioxide.

Immediate action needs to be taken to mitigate or avoid further damage to our life sustaining ecosystems.

Victorian’s health RECENTLY Premier Brumby was shown lamenting the fate of Victorians’ health particularly the diabetes sector and obesity.

Mr. Brumby, why not allow all Victorians to be tested for chemical sensitivity and toxicity and let us start from there? A simple blood test. I think you would be very surprised at just what such a fact- finding mission might show up.

SCOTT MCLENNAN MARINE CONTROLLER Scott McLennan, 34, completed VCE at Norlane High and after a short stint as a barman at the Norlane Hotel, began a seagoing career in 1995 with BHP. After completing a four year cadetship, he worked his way through the ranks to gain his captains qualification in 2005.

Although the time at sea was enjoyable for Scott, he was keen to get a position ashore to be at home with his wife Kelly and young son Sam. Three years ago, he was appointed marine controller with GeelongPort Pty Ltd. DO YOU MISS BEING AT SEA? It is a fantastic life for a single person, but I am happier with a job on the land now so I am not away from my family. The best part of being at sea is driving the ships – you know the old saying “boys and their toys”. To be in control of a vessel twice the length of the MCG is unbelievable - a huge buzz!

WHAT DOES YOUR WORKING DAY INVOLVE? We are responsible for the coordination of ship movements from pilot stations to berth and we liaise with all maritime industry participants – anyone with an interest in the ship. We are a 24 hour operation as there are ships coming in to port seven days a week, 365 days a year.

WHAT DO YOU REGARD AS THE GREATEST CHALLENGES OF YOUR JOB? One of the biggest challenges is coordinating interested parties such as linesmen, tugs, pilots, agents, customs and quarantine.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO MAKE YOUR JOB EASIER? A permanent Water Police presence would be fantastic. They have powers to enforce laws and issue infringement notices.

WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING YOU HAVE SEEN COME IN TO THE PORT OF GEELONG? I was on board the Helix and we were coming in on low tide. There was a fisherman who had rather foolishly parked his 4WD on a sandbar off Point Henry right on the water’s edge. He had all the doors and boot open and as we sailed past, the wake from the ship filled his car with water!

Shows how you need to be careful around the bay!

So even if you have been assessed by ACAT/ACAS as qualifying for low care / hostel accommodation, Bellarine Court may be suitable for your needs. It is staffed by appropriately accredited and trained Personal Carers, as well as kitchen and administrative staff.

Both sides of a vocal duet

BY ALEX DE VOS SEVEN-TIME Golden Guitar winner Adam Harvey and seven-time ARIA award winner Wendy Matthews will return to the stage next month to rekindle the magic audiences witnessed during the 2008 television series It Takes Two. The dynamic duo will showcase a variety of duets lifted off Harvey’s album Both Sides Now including Country Music Chart-topping single Easy.

The cover of The Commodores’ 1977 hit combines Harvey’s baritone voice with Wendy’s expressive and sublime vocal talents.

Harvey described the making of his new release “a very natural thing”.

The collection of duets also features the voices of Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson, John Williamson, Shannon Noll, Beccy Cole, Troy Cassar-Daley, David Campbell, The McClymonts, Leo Sayer, Renee Geyer, Tommy Emmanuel and Guy Sebastian.

“It’s about me getting on the phone and asking a bunch of people I know if they’ll have a sing with me,” Harvey said.

“It’s been a very natural thing, people coming into the studio and having a laugh, which is how it should be.

He said the idea behind Both Sides Now

was born over a jam session with fellow country musician Troy Cassar-Daly.

“Whenever Troy Cassar-Daley and I get together we seem to find a corner somewhere out of the way and sit down, get our guitars out and sing old country songs,” he explained.

“I said to him that we should record something and he said he’d love to.

“So I started to think, over the years I’ve had a few people say they’d love to record a duet or something with me and that’s when the idea first popped into my head.”

Speaking about his duet with Matthews, Harvey reckons “it’s a hit all over again”.

“I’ve seen Wendy live, but when she came into the studio and sang it just made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up,” he said “When she just nailed it in one take it was like, wow she can sing.”

Matthews shot to fame following the release of her 1992 hit single The Day You Went Away, which peaked at number two on the Australian music charts and sold more than 140,000 copies.

Event promoters said the renowned musicians would perform separately before coming together on stage for a series of “brilliant” collaborations.

Harvey and Matthews perform in Geelong’s Costa Hall on June 20.

he biggest names in French cinema will screen in Waurn Ponds next month as part of Alliance Francaise de Geelong’s inaugural French Film Festival.

Five French language films will be shown over the three-day event which is designed to promote the European country’s culture.

The French Film Festival kicks off on May 21 with the screening of The Girl from Monaco.

Directed by Anne Fontaine, the film follows the life of a “brilliant and neurotic” attorney who travels to Monaco to defend a famous criminal.

Instead of focusing on the case, he falls for a beautiful she-devil, who turns him into a complete wreck.

The festival continues on May 22 with an afternoon screening of Trouble at Timpetill followed by God’s Offices.

Starring Gerard Depardieu, Joel Demarty and Carol Bouquet, French director Nicolas Bary’s wacky, family-friendly fantasy comedy Trouble at Timpetill puts a Roald Dahl-flavoured spin on The Lord of the Flies.

God’s Offices focuses on the day-to-day functioning of family planning centre where young girls and women come to make decisions about whether or not to have children.

On Sunday, Reading Cinema’s will screen Baby Love before closing the curtain on the festival with an evening session of Laughing Out Loud.

Reading Cinema manager Dave Lovell said he was looking forward to showcasing the art-house films to Geelong audiences.

“We really hope it works so we can make it an annual event,” he said.

He said the event was “proudly” supported by the City of Greater Geelong.

BAYSIDE FURNITURE OF STYLE ayside Furniture specialises in offering customers a range of contemporary pieces in solid timber.

Owner George Arandjelovic says the business, which has been operating locally for 12 years, has built a reputation for providing quality and stylish furniture coupled with fantastic service and value for money.

Bayside offers customers a unique alternative to traditional furniture outlets, George says.

The store sources selected wood species such as teak to create furniture oozing warmth and natural beauty.

“Our main range of furniture is produced in teak but we also offer customers a rustic and driftwood range of products,” George says.

B

Bayside Furniture has plenty of choice in dining, entertainment, occasional, living, outdoor and bedroom furniture.

George says the store stands by its mission to produce environmentally friendly furniture.

“Our environment is an integral factor in the quality of life we lead.

“Bayside Furniture cares about the environmental issues related to the sourcing of our suppliers. Our supplier of teak furniture uses carefully reclaimed teak wood in about 60 per cent of the teak furniture products.

“That reclaimed timber is extracted out of neglected buildings or old warehouses.”

As well as furnishing Geelong homes,

Bayside Furniture also provides products for leading national builders.

“Our products have been used to furnish major display villages throughout Australia,” George says.

In July Bayside Furniture will showcase signature pieces at this year’s premier furniture and furnishings trade fair, Furnitex.

The four-day fair at Melbourne Exhibition Centre starts on July 15.

For more information about Bayside Furniture phone 5221 1011 or visit the store at 75 Pakington Street, Geelong West, or online at www.baysidefurniture. com.au.

Accidentally Inspirational W FIT AND e can do amazing things when we challenge ourseleves outside of our personal comfort zones.

On Sunday, my first Mothers’ Day, we were up at 4am ready for a big day at the Mothers Day Fun Run Classic, an event that suddenly has a little more meaning to me and based on the way it grows every year it’s the same for many other people in Geelong.

At the run, a funny thing happened with a woman I know ‘Gloria’. She is a lady in her late 50s, she comes to every event and puts in at a level that she feels comfortable in participating. This event was different, there are many levels of involvement from a four-kilometre walk to an eightkilometre run, Gloria’s intention

HEALTHY WITH SAM JONES was to do the four-kilometre walk.

On the day the first event was the four-kilometre run in which her daughter participated and from there it was just a matter for waiting until the walk started.

But she disappeared, nowhere to be found for quite some time until, she storms past me dripping in sweat and red in the face and huffs “thanks for your support.

‘Gloria’ had lined up for what she thought was the four-kilometre walk and unbeknown to her, she was in the eight-kilometre run group who sprinted off on the starting gun, so to save the embarrassment of pulling out she ran and ran and ran the whole eight kilomtres.

She suggested the name ‘fun run’ was not a good name - there is nothing fun about running - but she did it and we are so proud of her achievement. She never would have dreamed that that was something that she would achieve but she did by accident and she is an inspiration to us.

• Samantha Jones is from Contours East Geelong (Newcomb) and Contours Geelong West

Medi Trim now at pharmacy P ulse Pharmacy Waurn Ponds offers an exclusive weight loss program to help their clients fight the fat.

Pulse Pharmacy’s MediTrim program ensures clients achieve their weight-loss goals with a personal consultation process, a take-home manual and day-to-day tips.

Pulse Pharmacy owner Nader Mitri says the option of free weekly weigh-ins and check-ups keep clients on track.

He says MediTrim’s low calorie, low GI and low carbohydrate shakes are designed to promote fast weight loss through an optimal nutrient balance.

“Many weight loss shakes focus on calorie restriction and contain a lot of sugar,” Nader says.

“When our bodies burn that sugar we’re left feeling hungry.

Caring for children with MacKillop Family Services provides a rewarding career. acKillop Family Services offers an opportunity to become part of a team promoting and sustaining the development of children and young people within the community.

As the major provider of foster care in the Geelong region, MacKillop Family Services has a long and proud history of providing services to foster carers and children and young people in their care.

The organisation provides this care and support through Mercy Children’s Services program, MacKillop Youth Services and

M

Bayview Disability Team.

MacKillop’s accredited caregivers provide a range of types of care for children and young people from birth to 18 years of age.

The range includes: planned respite care, where a carer looks after a child once a month; emergency placements of several days; short-term care, which can last up to six months; and long-term care.

MacKillop Family Services is seeking to recruit carers for longterm care in particular.

The organisation offers excellent support to care-givers, with staff allocated to assist carers and the children or youths placed in

their care.

An after-hours service ensures support is available to care-givers at all times.

The testimonials of MacKillop care-givers demonstrate the services’ benefits.

“For us it has opened up a whole new world,” one care-giver said.

“It gives us purpose outside ourselves. You come to realise there are so many families who are really in need.

“The changes you see in children are so rewarding.”

Anyone interested in becoming a care-giver can phone MacKillop Family Services on 5278 9211.

“Our bodies are pretty smart and can tell when we reduce our calorie intake and they switch into starvation mode, slowing down the metabolism to conserve energy and prevent weight loss.”

Nader says the Pulse Pharmacy MediTrim plan promotes fast fat loss without hunger pains or a slowing down of the metabolism.

“MediTrim diet shakes are made from a premium whey blend to ensure a good dose easily digested protein,” Nader says.

“The whey protein we use is much lower in fat, sugar and carbohydrates than the milk protein used in many diet shakes.

“This ensures clients maintain lean muscle mass, control their appetite and burn that fat.”

The MediTrim program is available at Pulse Pharmacy Waurn Ponds. Phone 5243 1050.

Unlocking weight loss keys E ncompassing You is a selfnourishing centre focusing on weight loss and personal development.

Owner and founder Virginia Hurst says that after being involved in the weight-loss industry for more than a decade, which includes her own weight loss, she found “getting the mind right” is the key to making changes.

“With all the tools, pre-packaged foods and shakes that we have out there, so many of us are still struggling to lose our weight,” Virginia says.

“To me that says there’s something missing and I think the missing tool is finding the underlying reason why we put on weight in the first place.”

Virginia explains that only about four per cent of people reach their

goal weight but claims her success rate is far greater because “we are working on the reasons behind it, not just a diet”.

Encompassing You tailors programs in a one-on-one consultancy approach beginning with an initial consultation of up to two hours to uncover reasons behind weight gain.

Either weekly or fortnightly coaching sessions follow to keep track of each client’s needs, which can include a personalised eating program.

“I’m not just giving you a diet plan, patting you on the back and sending you on the way,” Virginia says.

Packages are available for six, nine or 12 weeks, along with individual packages for ongoing weight loss and maintenance.

Virginia believes that understand-

Encompassing You’s Virginia Hurst. ing why people put on weight is the key.

“We are not only fed by food but by the energy in our lives,” she says.

inter is almost here and our inclination is to stay indoors where it is warm.

Unfortunately cooler weather often causes overeating of foods that are much higher in energy than low kilojoule foods choosen during warmer weather.

Due often to lack of time and organisation we can succumb to the lure of grabbing takeaway food on the way home from work.

These takeaway meals are usually very high in energy, are a lot less nutritious than home cooked meals, and are much more expensive.

With the advent of the slow cooker it is very easy to prepare simple nutritious meals. There are some good slow-cooker packet soup and meal bases available that add flavour to a very easy meal.

Usually the preparation is very simple. Add chopped vegetables, chicken, lamb or beef and a small amount of liquid mixed with the slow-cooker packet meal or soup base.

Pre-cut veggies are also available which makes it even easier, so there is no excuse for eating poorly in the colder months.

The slow cooker is left to do its job while you are at work and then you can come home to a stress free, nutritious meal.

At present one fast food, takeaway outlet is offering a family meal package for $19.95. A nutritious meal done in a slow cooker can be amount to half of that cost. Try this recipe to add a very warming and nutritious meal to your winter menu.

If you would like to learn how to incorporate healthy nutritious meals into your day and lose weight at the same time join ‘the weight works’ now.

THE HISTORIC Rally Association has hosted a reunion of competitors, officials and families who were connected with the BP Rally. A hallmark of the 1950s and ‘60s the rally was run by the Light Car Club of Austalia.

Reunion organiser and former champion navigator, Ross Runnalls said the HRA were reunited with many people at last Sunday’s event to commemorate 52 years of BP rallies.

The annual rally roamed the countryside of three states for four days in May and provided a test of navigation and endurance in standard cars including VWs, Vauxhall, Vanguards, Ford Anglias, Datsuns and Peugeots.

The reunion was at Dowling Forest Racecourse, Ballarat on Sunday.

Brilliant finish: Ken Dawson’s effort with the paint and panels has achieved a stunning result.

GREG WANE IT WAS all about getting the paint and panel finish just right when Torquay’s Ken Dawson set to work on the restoration of his 1968 Chevvy Impala.

He bought the fast back version of Chevrolet’s best known and the most sleek in style from a car importer in Somerville in Melbourne’s south east.

Ken who is a motor mechanic by trade says he stripped the car right down to the chassis and did all the mechanical work himself. But it was the paint and panel work that he had no experience at doing and he considered it the most challenging of the Impala’s restoration.

“I really owe it to a guy called Daryl Noble who helped me with the panel and painting,” Ken says.

The car was typical of a restoration job, you expect it to be better than what it really is underneath. When I started to strip it down I discovered piles of leaves and rust down under the rear window so I had to fabricate a new steel section right across the back window.”

Ken says the body and panel sections also required repair and straightening.

“Just getting the panels straight you have to block them all out with big long sanding blocks otherwise you get wrinkles in them.

“The idea is to try and keep everything big and long and keep everything straight.

“The car had a body strip along the rear panel, but I got rid of it and joined the panels.

“I actually used body glue with the quarter panel.

I screwed the two panels together and let the glue go off then removed the screw and put a light lick of filler across the join and then you don’t get any panel distortion. I then welded all the way around the bottom edges,” Ken says.

All up Ken spent more than eight months on the body restoration.

“The car is nearly five metres long, so there’s miles of panels, especially the rear quarter, they’re huge.”

But Ken says it is the look of the car that fascinates him.

“The ‘68 model has got the ‘Coke-bottle’ style and the curved lines is what really gets me, I love it, I really love it.”

Coke-bottle styling is a shape of car body with outward curving fenders with a narrow centre.

Popular cars that used this body shape were the Pontiac GTO, Chevrolet Camaro and Impala, and Dodge Charger.

Studebaker introduced the Raymond Loewydesigned Avanti with pronounced Coke-bottle look in 1962. That began the trend of Coke-bottle influ-

ence on car design of the 1960s. Chevrolet first tried the Coke-bottle look on the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray. By 1966, A-body sedans and the Chevelle got a mid-riff pinch. The 1968 Corvette looked even more like a bottle bulging at both ends and a narrow middle. Pontiac Tempest, Dodge Charger and Ford Torino soon followed, as well as compacts such as the Ford Maverick and Plymouth Duster. Japanese, European and Australian sedans also adopted this style during the 1970s.

The finishing touch to the Impala panels was the paint job.

“The colour is Hyundai shine red and I did four coats of base paint and four coats of clear over the top.

“I then rubbed down with wet rub using 1600 wet rub until it was all flat and then ran over it with the polisher.”

Inside Ken had an upholsterer redo all the seats and he has added a big sound system.

I put in a 2000-watt sound system and a bug thumping sub woofer so I can play all my old rock and roll nice and loud.

Under the bonnet Ken says he has lowered the spindles and coils to get it sitting down lower and he has added an air-conditioner.

The Impala is powered by a 300 horsepower V8 engine through a turbo 350 transmission.

Ken has left the car as a left-hand drive, he says he prefers to leave it as original as possible.

“It only take a short time to get used to driving on the opposite side of the car, but I think my front seat passengers find it hard to get used to sitting over on the right-hand side and seeing oncoming cars closer to them than they would like.

Although preferring to keep the car original Ken

says he does like to add a personal touch to his cars with a few modifications. The big Impala has been lowered about four inches all round and he has put on a set of chrome wheels.

“The wheels are after market mags, a set of 18s 18-inch by eights with 245 tyres.”

The wheels marked the finishing touch to the Impala’s two-year restoration.

Shine: Too much chrome is never enough.

Icing: Chrome mags are a special touch that Ken says personalises his car.

Real estate: Ken used plenty of wet rub to prepare the five-metres-long Impala.

Specialists

eelong’s leading independent motorcycle workshop is now offering a complete and comprehensive Personal Water Craft and Powerski repair service.

Rob Jenner from Motorcycle Service Centre says the team is keen to provide the same great service to PWC users that the motorcycle fraternity have enjoyed for many years.

“In the past we’ve had a lot of enquiries about servicing and repairing Powerskis and now we are in a position to be able to do them and do them well.” Rob says.

“Our senior mechanic, Ryan Joslin, has a very keen interest in restoring and riding them as a hobby.

Motorcycle Service Centre is a VACC-accredited workshop which provides manufacturer approved warranty and log-book servicing, particularly for late-model motorcycles and scooters from Japan, Europe and the USA. Motorcycle Service Centre covers all types of maintenance and repairs including restorative services, engine and transmission reconditioning, suspension overhaul, track-day set-ups and Vicroads RWC. Off Road bikes are well catered for with dirt riders able to take advantage of many years of experience in repair and service. Particularly now with the season really starting to kick-off.

The business is also an approved crash repairer working with Shannons, Swann, QBE and InsureMyRide among others.

Business hours are 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday (Closed 1st Monday of the Month) at 336 Portarlington Road, Moolap.

ruckcar Rentals is an economical option when it’s time to get on the move. Whether it’s moving house or interstate freight, Truckcar Rentals has a vehicle fleet to accommodate even the biggest job.

Customers can visit Truckcar Rentals at Corio or Colac to choose from a comprehensive range of passenger vehicles, light commercial vans, trucks or utes.

Truckcar Rentals also stocks buses with seating for 12 to 22, a great idea for group outings with a designated driver.

Owner Graeme Byrant says it also offers a series of small two-tonne vans, trucks and prime movers.

“No job is too great or too small,” he says.

“My staff are more than happy to assist customers when it comes to selecting the right vehicle for their job.

“We also offer all our vehicles on long or shortterm leases.”

Truckcar Rentals maintains all the fleet itself, giving client’s added peace of mind about reliability and safety.

Locally owned and operated, Truckcar Rentals is a cheaper option than hiring a removalist.

Truckcar Rentals is located at 215 Station Street, Corio, phone 5275 8288, Princes Highway, Colac West, phone 5231 1966 and 6 Walsh Road, Warrnambool, phone 5561 0003.

Mad Max set to miss weeks

BY ANDREW MATHIESON SURGERY on Max Rooke’s troublesome knee won’t sideline the ferocious Cat “too long-term”.

Football manager Neil Balme announced on the club’s Cats TV that Rooke had undergone exploratory surgery this Tuesday.

The premiership defender has been battling chronic tendonitis, playing just one game in the first seven rounds this year.

Knee swelling rather than a serious medical condition has also forced Geelong to rule out midfielder Joel Corey again for at least another week.

Coach Mark Thompson had last week hoped both players, who have been suffering prolonged injuries, would be fit for Saturday night’s away clash against Brisbane Lions.

Balme this week said Rooke has “come up a bit sore”.

“He’s actually having investigative surgery on his knee (this week) to see how he goes,” Balme said.

“We’re a little unsure how long it will take.

“We don’t think it’s too long-term, but it’s certainly a bit of an issue for him.”

Rooke’s tough-nosed approach to the game appears to taken its toll on the 28-year-old since debuting in 2002.

Balme said the club’s medical staff would also take no risks to freshen up Corey.

The 2007 All-Australian has missed the past three Cats’ games.

“And he’s no certainty for next week,” Balme said.

Banished star Matthew Stokes’s eight-match club suspension from AFL football has been lifted that included orders to stay away from Skilled Stadium over the pre-season.

Thompson indicated moments after Geelong’s powerful 67-point victory over Sydney last Sunday that he was keen for Stokes to resume his career from scratch.

“We want to support him and we’ll find every opportunity to get him in,” he said.

“He’s been away for a while – too long.”

Stokes had been banned after being charged for possessing and trafficking cocaine in February.

He was found guilty of possessing one gram of the drug last month, but police dropped trafficking charges.

A guilty trafficking verdict could have spelt the end of his career under the AFL’s illicit drugs code.

Thompson said Stokes’s impassionate plea to teammates on returning to full training last month had immediately won over the playing group.

“I didn’t know he could speak so well,” he said.

“He spoke from the heart about how much he let the place down, how sorry he was and how he wants to actually add and give something back to the club and the team.”

The AFL’s match review panel threw out a rough conduct charge against James Kelly from Sunday’s match.

Kelly had been reported for engaging in rough conduct against the Swan Kieran Jack in the second quarter.

sport Corio Bay is a bay of plenty for local anglers On the bite

Local Footy FRANK MASON

Bell Park could bring down Lara

BRIAN LONG CONSIDERING conditions were not entirely ideal over the past week some fantastic captures were taken from a variety of locations, none better than Corio Bay. When 14-year-old Cody Carruthers and dad Luke fished last Saturday morning with soft plastics from their jet ski they were rewarded with a bag of flathead measuring between 40 and 45cms along with a great snapper of 42cms. Turtleback worms in the new camo color and Powerbait bought the fish undone to the boys while fishing between Rippleside and North Shore.

Daniel McCallum also did well on soft plastics fishing between Eastern Beach and the Royal Geelong Yacht Club. His best snapper weighed 2.3kg and was one of 22 fish he landed over two outings. This same area was Geoff Grants hot spot he also boated a snapper of 3kg along with many other fish between 40 and 50cms, lures doing the trick were Gulp Minnows and Fry in the banana prawn color.

At Rippleside pier the numbers of snapper taken this week were down. The best fishing being had on the late high tides running off, with the cooler nights most anglers stayed home but for John Davidson one of the few anglers working this pier gave him plenty of area to himself this resulted in five fish landed all over 2kg.

Flathead numbers are holding up well and anyone drifting from in close at North Shore rocks are catching their fair share of fish to 55cms. Both bait and lure will work with the best results coming from mid morning to mid afternoon.

The Grammar School Lagoon saw Peter and Frank Knowles of Bendigo have some weekend fun, using there Hobies, they landed a mixed bag of flathead, salmon and bream on worm pattern lures while most fish were small and returned. Their stand-out capture was a flathead weighing 1.2kg cleaned.

Anyone still looking for whiting close to Geelong need look no further than Bird Rock, here plenty of whiting averaging 33cms are on offer, pippies and fresh squid are working with the first two hours of daylight your best time.

Drifting the spoil grounds off Leopold saw more flathead caught than snapper this week but the best snapper I did see went just on 3kg and taken on a Gulp four inch minnow. Quality flathead were also taken most averaging 45cms with the better fish close to 60cms.

Whiting captures were generally down on the past couple of weeks but those dedicated to this species will tell you bag limit captures are available if you consistently fish the evening tides, fresh

GEELONG Football League ladder leader Lara faces its biggest challenge of the year tomorrow when it travels to Hamlyn Park to take on Bell Park.

The Cats have not set a foot wrong this year for coach Ben Harris and are unbeaten after five rounds.

Some doubt the quality of the sides it has played so far but tomorrow is a different story as Bell Park has only one loss so far and sits fourth.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big ask for Lara to win this one and the challenge will be too great.

Other selections: West Saints v ST.MARYS, Grovedale v SOUTH BARWON, LEOPOLD v Colac, North Shore v ST.JOSEPHS and St.Albans v NEWTOWN.

BFL Torquay and Queenscliff meet at Spring Creek Reserve tomorrow in Bellarine Football Leagues game of the day.

Queenscliff will be buoyant after beating reigning premiers Drysdale last week which propelled it to top place on the ladder.

Torquay is once again proving to be solid and has only one loss to its name. It would be hard to put a figure on the number of consecutive years it has played finals such is its reliability.

This will be a test for both sides and expect Torquay to pass it.

Jet catch: Cody Carruthers with a nice snapper taken while fishing with his dad from their jet ski in Corio Bay. squid is also a must.

Squid are still being caught all the way from Clifton Springs right through to Queenscliff, small dark coloured jigs continue to bring the best results with both early morning and evening the best times to fish.

Queenscliff Cut seems to be a year round fishery these days on silver trevally, while soft plastics account for most fish those prepared to fish around slack water with pilchard fillet will also do well.

Offshore reports have been limited to those prepared to contend with big ground swells and at times uncomfortable conditions but on Saturday Chris Stamalos, Keith Fry and Mark Sesar fished off Barwon Heads here they had an absolute ball, hooking onto a school shark after just 10 minutes followed up by another 10 sharks in a two-hour frenzy. The boys also hooked and lost what was thought to be a big seven gill after the hook they were using straightened.

Estuary anglers should keep an eye on the Barwon. Here trevally and small salmon have been taken in good numbers upstream of the Sheepwash, squid also are still present and the Ozone Jetty has been the place. Last Saturday Helen Buzuleac landed her share using Yo Zuri pink jigs in the 2.5 size. Helen also landed a nice flathead the weekend before on her pink rod and reel combo, seems pink is just here color.

Andrew Orchard from Apollo Bay reports of fair numbers of both rainbow and brown trout available at West Barwon Dam at present, seems small Rapala floating lures are all you need here.

Both trout and redfin are still firing in the Barwon River upstream from Buckley Falls, bait anglers will need shrimp fished under a float and

Lake Purrumbete has rewarded many anglers with quality trout of late. While most fish are between one and two kils seems there is always a lucky angler and this week it was Paul Farnsworth who landed a fish of just over 4kg while casting a Rapala CD3 in the trout pattern near Hoses Rocks.

Anglers still looking to Portland will find the fishing is still quite good if you can get out and contend with the huge swells, 120 to 150 metres of water is holding both bluefin and Albacore. Most fish are between 15 and 30kgs with the best fish of late just over 120kg.

Have a fishing report or a photo of your catch then please send it to info@raylongtackle.com.au or call in and see Brian at Ray Longs Fishing World 105 Shannon Ave Manifold Heights.

Werribee Centrals has shown the rest of Geelong and District Football League a clean set of heels to be the only unbeaten side after five rounds.

The Centurions recruited well during the off season with Travis Johns, Craig Rosenweig and Brad Bunworth snared from Western Region Football League club, Glenorden.

Throw in existing players Brendan Chugg, Anthony Kitchen and coach David Leatch and you have a good team.

Tomorrow Werribee hosts potential finalist Inverleigh.

The Hawks started the year with three straight wins but followed that with two losses.

Another one tomorrow will see it forfeit its place in the five.

Other leading lights are ruckman James Huybens, Rhys Carr and Matthew Carr Coach Shayne Stone reacted to last weeks shock loss to North Geelong with a Sunday morning session out at the You Yangs.

Maybe this will inspire his players but Werribee appear strong enough to repel whatever the Hawks throw at them Other selections: Belmont Lions v EAST GEELONG, BELL POST HILL v Thomson, NORTH GEELONG v Corio, BANNOCKBURN v Geelong West and Winchelsea v ANAKIE.
