E&S Trading moves to prime Moorabool Street location Victoria’s biggest kitchen, bathroom and laundry showroom One of Geelong’s favourite retailers has moved. E&S Trading’s kitchen, bathroom and laundry showroom has relocated to 531 Moorabool Street. The newly redeveloped 2,265sqm premises is E&S Trading’s biggest showroom to date and the largest kitchen, bathroom and laundry showroom in Victoria. It is now located next to another wellknown family-owned business, Fagg’s Mitre 10, which has expanded its store to an 11,500sqm building on Barwon Terrace. As one of Geelong’s most recognisable retailers, Fagg’s Mitre 10 has been serving the Geelong area since 1854. It is the eighth oldest family business in Australia and is today owned and managed by Barry and Keith Fagg, fourth generation descendents of founder Samuel Fagg. The move for E&S Trading is part of the company’s long-term plan to create state-of-the-art showrooms that house the world’s leading home appliance and product brands under the one roof. Some of these include Miele, Bosch, Siemens, Smeg, ILVE, Fisher & Paykel, Roca, Hatria and Villeroy & Boch. Visitors to E&S Trading’s new showroom can expect the same high level of customer service with some exciting new changes. These include the full range of kitchen, bathroom and laundry products, interactive displays, demonstration kitchHQV DQ HQWLUH ÀRRU GHGLFDWHG WR VPDOO appliances, shop-in-shop concepts, seven day trading, and 100 off-street customer car parks.

Left to right: Mike and Rob Sinclair in front of the new E&S Trading Geelong showroom on Moorabool Street.

Established in 1962 in Melbourne by the late Bob Sinclair, the company began as a generalist store selling everything from appliances and furniture to luggage and even sporting goods! Today it is still owned and operated by joint Managing Directors Mike and Rob Sinclair and their mother, Kaye. In early 2003, the Sinclair family purchased the Owen Crowl & Co. store at 207 Moorabool Street which was later relaunched as E&S Trading. Backed by nearly 50 years of experience, the company has become one of

Victoria’s oldest specialist retailers. %RDVWLQJ ¿YH LPSUHVVLYH VKRZURRPV in convenient locations throughout Victoria, they have quickly become a one-stop-shop for homemakers, builders, renovators, designers, architects, cabinet makers and tradespeople. It is hoped the relocation and expansion of E&S Trading and Fagg’s Mitre 10 will revamp the corner of Moorabool Street and Barwon Terrace into a hub for home improvers. The $10 million project by both companies is expected to set the benchmark

for quality retailing via generating local employment and consumer spending in the Geelong region. “We have been working with Barry and Keith for a number of years to bring this project to fruition, having recognised this site as one of the best in Geelong,� said Greg Lake, General Manager of E&S Trading. The Independent is helping E&S Trading to celebrate the opening of their new showroom with a special 4-page wrap-around feature highlighting their history, products, and staff.

Diving closure ‘a joke’ On the ball: Ocean Grove Soccer Club’s Ian Waugh and Brian Burgess look forward to the lighting upgrade. Picture: Tommy Ritchie

State grant lights up Grove soccer club “If people see us training at night it will invite them to join.” Mr Burgess said the players would be “absolutely rapt” to be able to train regularly on their home ground. “All the talk around the club is about when we’ll get these new lights – the players want to train on our ground and not use other facilities. At the moment they’re training wherever they can or not at all.” Mr Burgess said the lack of lighting had reduced training opportunities at Ocean Grove or forced teams to travel to alternative facilities, such as Drysdale’s indoor pitch.

Membership had declined to 120 from 200 a couple of years ago, he said. “We can only put it down to our lack of facilities.” This year the club had 12 teams from under nines to seniors for men and women. Member for Western Victoria Region David O’Brien said the funding would help the club grow. “By improving local facilities and playing conditions we can boost memberships, participation, home-ground support and get more people more active more often at Shell Road Reserve,” he said.

get to the Canberra. It’s been a very frustrating period for us. “We’ve invested millions of dollars in new boats, put on more employees to cope with the extra demand and set up new sites and centres and at the moment all that infrastructure can’t be used.” State Government scuttled the Canberra off Ocean Grove for diving in late 2009. Mr Salter said the closure had halted the site’s primary aim of encouraging interstate and international tourism. A Parks Victoria spokesman said the department would reopen the site as soon as possible but was awaiting recommendations from a diving engineers’ review. “We’re concerned now because it’s starting to come into popular diving season,” he said. “We’d much rather have it open than not.” The spokesman said Parks Victoria was initially unconcerned about the impact of the closure on interstate and international tourism because the site was closed in the off-peak winter season. “The only reason it is closed is public safety. Sheets of metal coming off can create dangerous conditions. “We’re expecting to announce an opening time in the not-too-distant future.”

BY MICHELLE HERBISON OCEAN Grove’s soccer club will soon be training and playing at night after State Government this week announced a $100,000 grant. Surfside Waves was one of 11 Victorian clubs to score a share in the Government’s $840,000 Strengthening the World Game Program. Club president Brian Burgess said the money would pay for sports lighting on two pitches. The club was presently without lighting. “It will act as a magnet to the club,” Mr Burgess said.

BY MICHELLE HERBISON PARKS Victoria’s closure of the region’s premier dive site has “become a joke”, according to an industry operator. Dive Victoria manager Jason Salter said Ocean Grove’s HMAS Canberra had been safe for months. Parks Victoria closed the site after part of the ship broke away about three months ago. Mr Salter said he reported the safety issue after noticing a helicopter hangar wall dangling from the ship but the next storm knocked it to the seabed, removing the safety risk. “The site fixed itself but a week later they closed it with no consultation to industry,” Mr Salter said. “It’s the safest and best-prepared wreck out of the 50 sitting off the coast here. “The interest to divers is the twists and tangles of the wreck and the fallen hanger wall just adds another element of interest.” Mr Salter said he had seen no one carrying out any work on the ship. Recreational divers were still visiting the site “illegally”, he said. Mr Salter urged Parks Victoria to reopen the site to divers immediately. His company was losing money after paying “tens of thousands of dollars” for access rights. “Some people have definitely chosen not to dive because they couldn’t

CONTROVERSIAL body artist Stelarc will appear at Lorne Sculpture Festival with one ear implanted into his left forearm. The festival’s curator, Julie Collins, expected the CypriotAustralian artist to be a major attraction. Stelarc has undergone numerous procedures to use his body as a canvas for his abstract art. Some of his works include three films shot inside his body and “suspension performances” using piercing hooks through his skin. Stelarc’s Lorne contribution will include a four-metre statue titled Earn on Arm, depicting his transplant. Ms Collins said the threeweek festival from this weekend would attract thousands of patrons. She encouraged them to inspect Stelarc’s work as part of the festival’s sculpture trail. “There will be 40 sculptures along the trail from the pier to the river, so the exhibition is much longer than previous years.”

BY MICHELLE HERBISON BARWON Heads Pre-school will be unable to meet demand for enrolments until 2014, according to a committee member. Barwon Heads Kindergarten Futures Committee’s Anissa Yttrup said the kinder’s “desperately needed” new building would be unavailable for the next two years. City of Greater Geelong this week announced land next to tennis courts at Barwon Heads’ Village Park as the preferred site for the new kinder. A $1 million State Government grant and $3 million from council will pay for the facility. Ms Yttrup said the wait for the new building meant some families would be unable to secure places at three and four-year-old kinder in Barwon Heads. A Federal Government increase in hours from 10 to 15 a week in 2013 would worsen the “unfair” shortage of places. “At the moment we have absolutely no room to move,” Ms Yttrup said. “We’ll have to roster in an inventive way, starting some groups at 8.15am and maybe running Saturday morning classes.” Ms Yttrup said the kinder extended opening hours this year to accommodate two four-year-old groups. But insufficient space was available

for three-year-olds, she said. A lack of alternative childcare in the town worsened the shortage. Ms Yttrup said studies had shown that children who went to school without kinder were more likely to repeat prep. “They don’t develop at the rate at which the teachers would expect them to,” she said. “Teaching little things like sitting in a group, sharing and getting their lunches out become difficult for a teacher with 20 kids to handle.” Ms Yttrup said the council-owned land in the park was unused. “We have to see what the community response is but council, the State Government and the kinder futures committee all agree it’s the best site. Hopefully people realise the town desperately needs a new kinder and there’ll be no objections.” Councillor Andy Richards said the new kinder would be double the size of the existing building on Clifford Pde. The new building would also have maternal and child health services and a multipurpose room for playgroup and community activities, he said. South Barwon MP Andrew Katos backed the village park site. He said the Baillieu Government would hand over the $1million after the community had given feedback. 1009645-TB40-11

‘Cruelty’ claims rock animal welfare centre

in brief

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG Animal Welfare Society is under investigation for cruelty after staff leaked a video allegedly depicting mistreatment. The video posted to the internet on Tuesday showed apparently drugged animals unable to sit or walk. Staff appear to joke about suggestions of inhumane treatment at the shelter. Former employee Susan Irwin said some staff were aware of the treatment for years but unable to stop the cruelty. Ms Irwin said other staff had bullied her at the shelter after she raised the mistreatment with management.

AUSTRALIA Post will extend operating hours in Geelong to capitalise on the “online shopping boom”, according to managing director Ahmed Fahour. He said Australia Post had selected Geelong among an initial 100 metropolitan and regional centres for the longer opening hours so internet shoppers had additional time to pick up parcels.

The shelter also killed animals in front of others in breach of the shelter’s code of practice, she said. “Management said they’d stopped killing cats in front of others back in April but it was still going when I left at the end of July. “The list (of mistreatment issues) goes on but no one would listen to our cries for help. “Most of the staff didn’t even know there was a code.” More than 400 protestors have accepted a Facebook invitation to protest at City Hall on Saturday. About 5500 people had viewed the YouTube footage when the Independent when to press on Wednesday.

Paul Archer, of animal welfare group Deathrowpets, said the video was shocking but not surprising. Mr Archer said he contacted the shelter numerous times in the last year about mistreatment concerns. Newtown vet Jack Ayerbe said drugging dogs a day before they were put down was uncommon but not inhumane. Animals were usually sedated immediately before being euthanised only in the case of dangerous dogs for safety reasons, he said. RSPCA spokesman Tim Pilgrim said the video was “very distressing”. “The RSPCA has formally requested Department of Primary Industries investigate the matter.” Geelong Animal Welfare Society

acting president David Cecil said the shelter was working with council to ensure protocol was followed. “Comments on that video are misleading. Staff don’t sedate or give medication to animals unless they’ve been given vet advice,” Mr Cecil said. “It’s not for convenience.” Mr Cecil said cats were no longer killed in front of each other. Department of Primary Industries, which is responsible for shelter licensing, said council was responsible for ensuring the shelter operated within the law. Council’s spokesperson failed to respond to the Independent’s request for comment before the paper went to press.

Leopold upgrade COUNCILLORS have ticked off on a $6.8 million plan to redevelop Leopold Memorial Recreation Reserve. Ward councillor Rod Macdonald said the master plan prioritised various projects within the redevelopment to guide council in deciding timelines, applying for funding and budgeting for the project.

Mayor John Mitchell said the draft plans involved extension of the North Geelong centre’s annex to allow additional change rooms and other facilities to cater for the 4000 basketball players using the facility each week.

City launches its first purpose-built shed for men Westlake said. “We’re doing some bookshelves for the scout heritage museum at the moment. We’ve done projects for local kinders and schools and completed a mentoring program at Moolap Primary School last year.” Mr Westlake said the shed was “good for men’s mental health”. “It means they have a place where they can get together with other blokes instead of hiding on their own in the garden shed,” he said.

Mayor John Mitchell, who officially opened the facility, said it was the city’s first purpose-built men’s shed. “A lot of men who have retired still want to be actively involved in the community and men’s sheds are the perfect way for them to put their skills to good use,” he said. City Hall provided $160,000 and State Government added $60,000 to the project. Mr Westlake asked anyone interested in joining the shed to phone him on 0447 106 036.

Torquay man’s fiery death ‘suspicious’, say police BY ERIN PEARSON POLICE are investigating whether foul play was behind the death of a Torquay man found in a burnt-out car west of Geelong on Tuesday night. Homicide Squad Detective Inspector John Potter said police were treating the death of 55-year-old Mark Scherini as suspicious pending the outcome of an autopsy.

Mr Scherini was last seen leaving his Geelong workplace around 10am. His 2008 Mazda CX9 was found alight in a car park at Wurdee Boluc Reservoir. Insp Potter said the Mantzaris Fisheries executive was supposed to attend a meeting at 11am. “We’re appealing for anyone with information that may have seen any

activity in the vicinity of the Wurdee Boluc Reservoir. We’re also interested in any one who may have information on the movements of Mr Scherini during the day.” Insp Potter said police had no information suggesting Mr Scherini was involved in any disputes or would commit suicide. “We believe the fire was deliberately

lit and we’ve had crime scene examiners at the scene searching the vicinity of the car park to locate anything that might help us with this investigation.” Investigations were continuing when the Independent went to press on Wednesday. Police urged anyone with information to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit crime stoppers.com.au.

Initiative sends Newtown’s Alistair ‘roving for stories’ Mr McGibbon started considering journalism as a career path in high school. “It really kicked off in Year 11 courtesy of my media teacher at Belmont High,� he said. “I was interested in movies and art but my teacher put a focus on journalism and I really began to enjoy it. Now I’m completing my degree in professional writing and hope to write for a website, a magazine or a local newspaper.� Youth Affairs Minister Ryan Smith said Youthcentral’s roving reporter program encouraged applicants to write about personal experiences in their own communities. “This is an opportunity for these young people to experience what it’s like to work as a professional journalist,� he said.

Area loses ‘fish cash’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN VICTORIA’S coast from Queenscliff to Anglesea is the state’s most deprived area for recreational angling facilities, a report has found. The report, Analysis of Coastal Recreational Fishing Facilities, said failure to deliver upgrades would cost Victoria’s economy millions of dollars in lost revenue. The Department of Primary Industries-commissioned report said recreational fishing in Victoria would be worth more than $10 billion over the next 20 years. But the economic benefit would be lost without significantly improved facilities, the report said. Inadequate or absent boat ramps and parking spaces were barriers to recreational anglers. The report identified a need for a new “safe harbour� between Queenscliff and Apollo Bay. An audit of facilities found that Anglesea’s boat ramp was no longer accessible and Point Roadknight’s was unfit for use. Torquay’s new ramp required “immediate attention�, with owners of large recreational boats

A Simple Investment Option Earn up to

reporting it was unusable. “In some cases the lack of attention to boat ramp surfaces, silt build-up and degradation presents a hazard to community safety,� the report said. “Given the demand for access points and the current and projected high usage along this part of the coast, development of additional sites and increased capacity of current sites should be undertaken.� Fishing Geelong secretary John Hotchin backed the report’s findings. “As an industry we need recognition like this to put pressure on the powers that be to realise it’s an enormous industry – it’s bigger than AFL football,� he said. “There are so many different government departments and committees and there are so many fingers in the pie and they all want a piece of the dollar. “It can take months to wade through the bureaucratic gobbledegook. It needs to be totally streamlined so we can get projects up and happening quicker and cheaper. “All these issues been identified before but, whether it’s going to change, I don’t know.�

Internship: Alistair McGibbon with the Youthcentral website. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 71444

1010628-KS41-11

BY ERIN PEARSON BUDDING Newtown journalist Alistair McGibbon will publish work for more than 90,000 monthly readers thanks to a State Government initiative. Mr McGibbon, 20, has won a sixmonth internship with Youthcentral to research and write content for its website. Youthcentral employs young people as “roving reporters� to write on issues such as jobs, study, travel, money and music. Mr McGibbon, a Deakin University student, was thrilled about his chance. “It’s always good to have a foot in the door, especially in the journalism industry because it’s really hard to get into,� he said. “Only 30 got selected for the internship out of 200 who applied, so that was a great feeling.�

BY ERIN PEARSON ANGLESEA and Airey’s Inlet could have digital television next year after Federal Government announced an investigation into a rollout to the towns, according to a spokesperson. The office of Communications Minister Stephen Conroy told the Independent broadcasters were negotiating with Surf Coast Shire over the rollout. The shire manages the area’s black-spot transmitter, which broadcasters must take over to change from analogue to digital. The area can not have both signals but a switchover to digital was previously scheduled for the end of 2013, the spokesperson said. “We’re in active negotiations with local broadcasters to bring the conversion date forward by 12 months to mid next year. The broadcasters are talking about taking it over from council but it all depends on council. “It’s a big logistical exercise that the broadcasters are aware of and have acknowledged residents’ concerns, so we’re looking at it actively.” Anglesea residents petitioned the Government for digital television earlier this year after discovering their town could be forced to fund its own upgrade. Without funding they would have to pay more than $1000 for their own free-to-air satellites. Petition leader and caravan park operator Justin Morris welcomed the new plans. “This is a lot better than getting the upgrade at the end of 2013. Here at the caravan park we couldn’t afford to upgrade to satellite ourselves. “Visitors can’t believe we don’t have digital already because many have travelled all over Australia to towns smaller than Anglesea and received digital television.”

Scarlette Queen package

BY MICHELLE HERBISON POINT Lonsdale’s Katherine Thyer never considered herself an artist. The retired primary school teacher realised she wanted to learn to draw only a couple of years ago when she looked up at a painted cafe roof. “I thought ‘Wouldn’t that be fun?’ but I couldn’t actually draw,” she said. Mrs Thyer began art classes at Queenscliff Neighbourhood House under Deb Brearley who helped unleash her talents. Now she’s running an exhibition of linocuts inspired by a retaining wall at Point Lonsdale front beach. An old moonah growing through the wall inspired her first artworks. “It looks like they built the wall around the tree to save it, which I thought was lovely.” Mrs Thyer hoped her prints would encourage others to take a closer look at the wall. The exhibition runs until November 24 at Queenscliff Neighbourhood House.

Council denies interchange responsibility

Violence handball BY ERIN PEARSON A GEELONG councillor has rejected calls for council to act on violence around its Moorabool St bus interchange. Andy Richards said maintaining law and order was a job for police. But police and State Government have denied responsibility for the bus interchange. The Independent last month revealed concerns about fighting and misbehaviour around the facility. A security guard urged council to put on addi-

tional staff before summer to avoid problems going “out of control”. Cr Richards this week called for police to act. “The security guards at the bus interchange are paid for by the state Department of Transport and are there to assist bus passengers, not to keep the peace – that’s the responsibility of police officers,” he said. But a spokesperson for the department said its “customer service staff” at the interchange were temporary appointments to help passengers through the

facility’s “transition period”. Providing security was a Victoria Police responsibility, the spokesperson said. Geelong Police Inspector Chris Gawne said foot and bike patrols in the area would continue throughout spring and summer but stationing officers around the interchange indefinitely was not feasible. Member for South Barwon Andrew Katos said State Government and council should work together on the issue. He accused Cr Richards of “grand standing”.

“Council voted to put the bus interchange on Moorabool St and now it’s a problem for security. Andy Richards was happy to support its relocation but now says it’s a State Government problem,” Mr Katos said. “Andy shouldn’t be playing a blame game. This should be about local government and State Government working together to find solutions.” Mr Katos said he would meet Acting Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay later this month to discuss staffing in Geelong.

AUSTRALIA’S MOST SPECTACULAR ORCHID DISPLAY AND SALES

Show of force with new station to police patrons BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG police are operating a mobile station at this year’s Royal Geelong Show to weed out unruly behaviour, according to an officer. Senior Constable Susan Macardy said 45 uniformed police would ensure the four-day event remained family friendly. “Youths in the past have caused trouble, particularly on Saturday night, and we won’t tolerate that,” she said. “Police will also assist show staff on ensuring no alcohol comes in and to ensure there are no intoxicated youths within the show grounds. “We’ll ensure public order and con-

trol any unruly behaviour.” Sen Const Macardy said the mobile station would operate at all times during the show. She encouraged show patrons to approach officers with any problems. Police would also provide wristbands for children in case they lost their parents, she said. “This year for the first time parents can pop their mobile number on the wrist band so if their children are lost it’s easier to reunite them. It’s been successful at similar events like the Melbourne Show and Avalon air show. “We hope to have similar success.”

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A SITE for Geelong’s proposed convention centre will be decided within a week, according to Mayor John Mitchell. “The convention centre steering committee will be meeting within the week to decide on a preferred location,” he said. “The committee will make a recommendation for council to consider.” Cr Mitchell was responding to a call from Victorian Employers Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief Mark Stone for council to settle on a site. “For goodness sake, just make

a decision,” Mr Stone told a business breakfast. “We know the Deakin University (waterfront car park) site is off the books. “In my opinion it must have a water view, so council must look at Limeburner’s Point.” Cr Mitchell said the site had been the sticking point for the development. “Everyone is right. We need to come up with a preferred location but we were waiting on answers. “The reality is we can now move on.” Council has identified Limburner’s Point as a preferred site identified along with Hearne

Pde at Eastern Beach, a former Winter and Taylor dealership yard in Mercer St and Myers St’s Haymarket car park. Council tourism portfolio holder Bruce Harwood said City Hall was “working hard” to announce the site. “It will be greatest economic driver in the region, so it’s worth getting it right.” The Independent revealed last week that the convention centre could be part of a new precinct on the waterfront along with a proposed mineral springs spa. Cr Rod Macdonald, who holds council’s planning portfolio, said the two drawcards could be linked.

THE GEELONG region will host more than 60 events for Children’s Week from October 21 to 30. Council community development portfolio holder Kylie Fisher said all the events would be “either free or low cost”. “There are events for everyone, including a circus show, a fishing session, a Teddy bears’ picnic, pool parties, a playgroup in the park, even a Halloween disco,” she said. Cr Fisher recommended a Family Fun Day at Drysdale’s Potato Shed on October 23 as a highlight. “Children’s Week is all about celebrating our smallest citizens and ensuring that our kids have the best possible start in life,” she said.

community update

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

In October, half of Alcoa’s global workforce will participate in more than 650 community service projects across 24 countries through its signature Worldwide Month of Service employee volunteer program. Alcoa Point Henry employees started their month of service early in September by supporting the Leukaemia Foundation Light the Night Event and will work with 13

Volunteering time to our community allows us to give something back ... other local community groups and events culminating on 28 October with the KIDS Foundation Injury Free Day. The schedule of events includes a wide range of interest areas around the Geelong region including planting with Greening Australia at Moolapio, tiling at Anam Cara House, rowing in

the Give Where You Live Corporate Head of the River, supporting the Whittington Flamefest and Fishing with the Salvation Army. “Volunteering time to our community allows us to give something back, while having a whole lot of fun and meeting new people” said Operations Manager for the Point Henry Smelter Stewart Esdale. More than 29,000 employees participated in

change on TO

approximately 1,000 events across 24 countries last October. That was a record 49 percent of Alcoa’s global workforce donating their time to nearly 3,000 non-profit organizations. Alcoa employees, families, neighbours and community groups reached 59,000 children, served 17,000 meals, planted 16,000 trees and supported 3,000 non-profit organizations. Around the world Alcoa employees gave 720,000 hours of voluntary service last year – the equivalent of more than 350 people working full-time.

Alcoa Teaming up to Ride the Tour for KIDS The Alcoa Foundation is supporting an Alcoa Point Henry cycling team to take part in the KIDS Foundation Ride the Tour for the KIDS. The KIDS foundation was started in 1993 by a former teacher to address the high incidence of childhood injuries in Australia. KIDS runs school education programs to prevent injuries from occurring, and implements recovery programs to support the whole family. By running safety programs for preschool age children right through to teenagers, the KIDS Foundation is teaching the skills associated with risk

assessment and risk reduction and helping them to build this into decision making. The Alcoa team of 4 will be competing with 19 other teams in a once in a lifetime opportunity to rub shoulders with professional cyclists from Australia and around the world. The professional cyclists are in Australia each October to take part in the Union Cycliste Internationale recognised and ranked Jayco Herald Sun Tour. This is a dream come true for the cycling Alcoans who all prefer the bike as their mode of transport. Each rider will be expected to race just like the professionals over 5 days from 12 -16 October. Alcoa’s team will cover distances that range from 116 to 172 kilometres per day through varying terrain. The course will take all teams from Whittlesea to Ballarat, then onto Geelong, Sorrento (via ferry), Arthurs Seat and then to the finish line in Melbourne. Each day, the amateur teams ride ahead of professionals with a time limit for completing the stage. As part of the race qualification criteria, each amateur team had to raise an additional donation of $10,000 for the KIDS Foundation. With the support of colleagues, friends and family, and additional Geelong sponsors the Cotton On Foundation, the Alcoa team held a waterfront extravaganza complete

Roads danger strands blind BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A LACK of funding to fit warning equipment is threatening the safety of blind pedestrians at Geelong traffic lights, according to a representative body. Blind Citizens Australia (BCA) Geelong and Districts branch secretary Bob Claffey said several locations urgently required audio tactile warning systems. “VicRoads only has funding for limited number of sets each year and they have lots of guidelines to follow,� Mr Claffey said. “The policy now appears to place a pedestrian refuge in centre

routes where the audio tactile systems have been installed.� Mr Claffey said BCA had initiated a campaign called Leap of Faith “because that’s what it is for a blind person�. The campaign was lobbying VicRoads, council and Victoria’s Traffic Accident Commission on behalf of blind pedestrians. “We’re also getting details from our members on crossings they find difficult to use to help the authorities prioritise their funding,� Mr Claffey said. “It would be better to spend the money on locations where the blind most need it.�

Archery hits the bullseye

146 Moorabool Street, Geelong

THE DAYS of playing with bows and arrows in the backyard are long gone but aficionados can still enjoy a Robin Hood experience in Geelong. It just happens under much more controlled conditions at the 51-year-old Geelong Archery Club. The club is the sport’s longest continually operating archery group in Geelong and one of the oldest in Victoria. President Bill Vale said the club regularly attracted up to 60 men, women and juniors to its Deakin University-based range. “It’s not a big participation sport compared to some but it suits all ages from nine upwards,” Bill said. “You don’t have to be muscly or be the fittest to do archery. In fact, one lady started at the tender age of 70. “The new bows we use are a compound bow, with a set of pulleys on the ends. They allow you to shoot heavier poundage and still remain accurate. “Most of us do it for the fun and the exercise. It’s relaxing and social, almost like a round of golf.” Bill said the club’s field course was in a bushland set-

Join the club JOHN VAN KLAVEREN ting at Deakin’s Waurn Ponds campus, while an indoor range was available at Geelong Showgrounds. The field course required archers to shoot 24 targets from various distances ranging from 10 to 60 metres, he said. An assortment of difficulties such as shooting uphill, downhill, across a slope or through trees added to the challenge. “The key is to pick a spot and be accurate,” Bill advised. “It’s like simulated hunting. It’s a different type of challenge.” Bill said regular competitions at club, state and national level were available, along with beginners courses. “We recently installed a separate four-target beginner’s range backing onto a cliff-side face, so missed arrows are easy to find,” he smiled.

Drawing a bow: Chris Middleton takes aim at Geelong Archery Club. Picture: Tommy Ritchie “Some people are naturals and can be reasonably good within weeks, although it probably takes six months to find some proficiency at tournament level.” Bill said the club boasted a number of junior champions at national and state level as well as senior champions and Masters Games gold medallists. Club member John Womersley is an international judge with extensive experience at Olympics and world championship competition.

The club hosted Victorian state field titles recently and will host them again next September. Bill said the local course was considered to be of high standard. “It’s not uncommon for Olympic archers to be here honing their skills. Our course is one of best in Australia and equal best in Victoria.” Bill said anyone interested in joining the club could phone him on 5243 7143 or visit geelongarchers.page.tl.

I know there are others heading the same way.� Bob said some turned to alcohol or suddenly became prone to violence because they failed to understand what was happening. “A lot of them couldn’t handle it and moved on,� Bob said. “The story of tow truck drivers and what they did to help hasn’t really been heard.

“We don’t expect sympathy, just a bit of recognition for what the towies did back then. “We were accused of being vultures but we were just doing a job. “All the towies in town knew each other. There was competition but when the crunch came everyone chipped in. “You toughened up because no one ever asked how you were or suggested to take time out. “It’s the same stress that police and soldiers like Vietnam vets experience. “I’m pleased to see someone talking about this subject.�

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN BOB GRAHAM is an old-school towman. The semi-retired Lovely Banks towing operator still proudly displays the number plate ‘towman’ on his car. But his career has not left him unscathed. “I started when I was 16 and us towmen were usually first on the scene of car crashes. “There were many times when I had to comfort injured people stuck in cars. Often we spent hours at a scene rendering assistance, especially at truck accidents. “That was before seat belts, so we saw a lot of horrific injuries. It runs pretty deep; we were often thrown in the deep end. “Even when the ambulance arrived, they only had one officer in those days, so tow truck drivers were often helping. “I know of one towman who drove an ambulance to the hospital while the ambulance officer was in the rear with the patient.� Bob acknowledged it was a different era, with State Emergency Service and CFA personnel now trained to deal with road trauma. But it was an accident of his own that brought home to Bob just what effect those years of attending collisions had on him. “I had a motorcycle accident six years ago. Took me four years to get over it,� Bob confided. “I needed a lot of help, including psychological counselling. It all came back to bite me then. “It unlocked a lot of the emotions I had bottled up all those years.

He rescues whippets from the pound and re-homes them and nurses the sick ones back to health. It takes a special person to do this, so he should be proud of himself. Alan, Leopold BOUQUETS to a young silver fox who came to the aid of a cyclist struck by a car in Geelong on the morning of October 4. The young man’s concern for the welfare of a stranger and his quick thinking yet calm demeanour made me realise that good people are still in the world. Reassured Soul, Bannockburn BUCKETS to residents who have felt it necessary to discuss their concerns about Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management. It would be wise to remember the committee manages Crown land, so the opinions of residents from throughout the state is as relevant to those of nearby residents. Edge Of Glory, St Leonards BOUQUETS to a kind person who picked up my glasses after I dropped them outside my car at Eastern Beach’s boat ramp car park. My good Samaritan then placed them on my windscreen wipers. Thanks because I was in panic mode. Happy Vegemite, Barwon Heads

Small, not cheap

PLANNING Minister Matthew Guy is entitled to take his time evaluating the information provided by interested parties, individuals and the independent panel before ruling on section 4C of Geelong’s ring road. Harassment and speculation by outsiders including Warren Truss and Elaine Carbines is counter-productive because they don’t understand the safety problems associated with the proposed alignment. The proposed 4C/Torquay Rd junction would unnecessarily create a dangerous combination of two roads and a busy level crossing within 400 metres – an accident waiting to happen. In its safety report, VicRoads consultant, CPG Australia identified as a hazard the close proximity of the proposed section 4C/Torquay Rd intersection to the railway level crossing. During the panel hearing VicRoads hurriedly amended its own drawings to make the junction appear more acceptable. Ms Carbines has stated that G21 “would certainly applaud the Planning Minister if he made the decision to keep the current alignment”. Would G21 also applaud a fatal level crossing crash caused by this close proximity? I trust not. The proposed route of 4C is just lines on a drawing, which can easily be changed to safer alternatives. We must not leave a black spot problem for future generations who will have enough to deal with! Ray Gladwell Grovedale

I WRITE regarding proposed development in north Torquay as a resident, not in my capacity as a Surf Coast councillor. The September 16 Independent included a headline saying “cheap land” was on the way to north Torquay. Building and development specialists have judged the plan environmentally and aesthetically irresponsible and inconsistent with Surf Coast building policy and guidelines. The cheap land claim was based not on cheaper land but smaller plots, many significantly below 300 square metres. Engineers and builders have written to me complaining that some blocks between 200sqm and 250sqm could not be built with north-facing windows. Six-star energy standard compliance costs will skyrocket. The complaints also to noted that council’s Torquay 2040 strategy plan makes no mention of urban consolidation in north Torquay. The reality is that the development plan for north Torquay, if approved by the Planning Minister, will change Torquay’s character from coastal to urban consolidation. Building construction costs will be significantly higher and the number of flats and terracestyle buildings on the town’s outskirts will increase. Affordable housing will fail to materialise but environmental standards will be sacrificed. As a councillor and an abutting resident, I was unable to participate in council’s vote on the development. I do not resile, however, from my commitment to land use planning and development principles defending Torquay’s coastal character. The core issue is the potential inconsistency of these principles with the proposed plans, not the mirage of cheap land. Joe Remenyi Torquay

ing a goal of protecting the future of our planet and our well being. Given the evidence of our scientists and the anticipated dire consequences of inaction, it is beholden on our governments to listen and formulate policy to address this threat. I acknowledge Alan Barron’s right to dispute the scientific evidence (Letters,

October 7) but I am not confident he has the status to be held as the supreme authority. His words have popular appeal. Very few like to be shifted from their comfort zone. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking. Are we prepared to act or do we hope Mr Barron is right and it is all a waste of money. On behalf of my grandchild and future generations I am prepared to pay the cost to sustain this beautiful planet and all the species that inhabit it. I believe it will be cheaper than the cost of inaction. Ivor Chappell Barwon Heads

Onshore terror IT IS established that Labor and the coalition agree with offshore processing of asylum seekers and that the Greens favour it taking place on Australian soil because, in their opinion, it is more humane. I suggest that onshore processing could prove dangerous for Australians. Terrorists are always quick to take advantage of a situation and could easily masquerade as genuine asylum seekers, providing the opportunity for acts of terrorism in our country. Although I understand the predicament confronting the migrants, I also support offshore processing. Christina Dengler Norlane

Blue day ON BEHALF of Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation I thank the community for supporting last month’s Macca’s Drive Thru for Blue, which raised a record $45,000. In addition to McDonald’s Victoria donating $1 from every car that ordered in the drive-through on the evening of the fundraiser, customers were able to make donations in the lead-up to the event. The event, first held in 2004, continues to provide community members with an opportunity to remember police officers who have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. Neil Soullier Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation chief executive officer

Victoria’s smart meter replacement program

Smart meter installations in your area

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

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

Aquatic centre teaches life lessons

program for preschoolers

eelong Aquatic Centre believes its quality teachers, facilities and water make children smarter. The centre and students’ parents participated in national research under Griffiths University’s Professor Robyn Jorgensen, finding that early-years swimming made children smarter, more sociable and confident and better at interacting with peers. Children enjoy the aquatic environment at the centre while listening to teachers and following their instructions. The water provides a wonderful medium for children as young as infants to absorb a range of stimuli. Children can participate in learn-to-swim programs before they can walk. No other sport offers young children the same scope for participation. Geelong Aquatic Centre has parents in the water with their children from the age of four months. As well as encouraging participation and enjoyment in water, swimming lessons have many other benefits. A child familiar with water from an early age has an advantage over others afraid or inexperienced in aquatic environment other than the bath. Children who are happy and confident in water can think of ways to get out of any difficulties and will be more likely to learn to swim quickly, safely and enjoyably. Geelong Aquatic Centre offers an ideal environment for children and infants. The specialist learnto-swim facility has no distractions such as water slides or aqua aerobics lessons. • Children are also supervised when swimming. • The centre also offers: • warm water at 32C; • warm air to retain body heat; • passionate, caring, dedicated, trained staff; • a sequential, developmentally based, fun program;

hree-year-old Taegan Dodds is just like any other preschooler: energetic, eager to learn and he knows exactly what he wants. So when Taegan recently attended a free Ready Steady Go Kids trial class and didn’t want to leave his mum knew she was onto something. Taegan’s parents, Carmen and Byron Dodds, were so impressed with the multi-sport program they bought their own franchise and are expanding the network into Melbourne’s western suburbs, Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula in time for term four. “Until that first class all we wanted was to find a fun, age-appropriate way to encourage our son’s development” Mrs Dodds says. “But Byron and I loved the program as much as Taegan did and we felt that more children in our area should be able to benefit. “With the intensive expansion of Point Cook and Geelong we saw the need for increased access to sporting activities for children in the area and are proud to be bringing this high-quality program to these family focused communities.” As a parent trained in delivering the physiodesigned program and as an occupational therapist with experience in paediatrics, Mrs Dodds is qualified to recognise the advantages of the program. “Ready Steady Go Kids takes on a holistic approach to children’s development,” she says. “The program not only teaches preschoolers the fundamentals of 10 different sports but also promotes self-esteem, a love of sport and physical activity and teaches skills preparing children from as young as two and a half for their journey into school. “What appealed to us about Ready Steady Go Kids was its reputation, the variety of sports on offer, the non-competitive nature and the structure

The Hay ride BY ERIN PEARSON A LITTLE bit of the Bellarine Peninsula entered Memphis’s iconic Sun Studios last month when an Aussie artist walked in wearing a Blues Train T-shirt. Claude Hay said he wouldn’t have worn anything else to record tracks for his new album in the legendary studio where legends such as Elvis and Johnny Cash once laid down tracks. The T-shirt spruiked the Geelong region’s own blues icon, which runs along Bellarine Railway with performers in each carriage. “The T-shirt reminds me of the true spirit of blues music because it’s got on old steam train on it from country Victoria,” Hay said. “Just like the train ride itself, it represents the ruckus, fun and lots of energy on board.” Hailing from the Blue Mountains, Hay is an award-winning blues and roots-renowned musician for his do-it-yourself approach to music. He builds his own instruments along and customised his tour van with a kitchen and a recording studio. Hay fuses slide guitar, sitar, bass and electronic percussion to invoke stomping blues with a “booty-shaking funk edge”. His fresh take on roots and blues has drawn a wide spectrum of listeners without alienating tra-

ditionalists. Hay’s recent tour of America put him on a road trip through destinations including California, Oregon, Alaska, Kansas City, Milwaukee, St Louis, Memphis, Nashville and West Virginia. Now signed to a US label, Hay said he explored a country struggling with poverty. “It’s been hit pretty hard by the recession but the music is so alive it’s absolutely everywhere. “I only scratched the surface

but it’s quite amazing - drive 45 minutes and you’re in another city. “You’ve got to like corn fields, though. You can drive four or five days straight through corn fields.” Now back home in the Blue Mountains, Hay said he was “trying to get some work done” before hitting the road again - but this time down south. Hay will play on the Blues Train this Saturday and on October 22 and December 2.

elf-confessed sticklers for quality Ian and Kate Pagram are injecting new energy into Prendergast and Grace Bakery Cafe. Since mid-September the couple has continued the tradition of baking high quality food at their bakery and cafe in Geelong’s Bellerine Street. “All our cookies, cakes, slices and tarts are baked on premises and Ian is an extraordinary barista. The coffee really speaks for itself,” Kate says. The cafe is open for all-day breakfasts, lunch and morning and afternoon tea. Lunch items include specialty pastas (including home-made lasagne), foccacias, sandwiches and soups. The specials menu changes daily and includes dishes such as pasta with chicken, avocado, white wine and cream sauce. The tomato, vegetable and lentil soup is a definite favourite. The cafe will be fully licensed soon. Prendergast and Grace also supply cookies, cakes, cup cakes, slices and tarts to a range of businesses on the Bellarine, Surf Coast and Melbourne. They bake for the public for birthday parties, special occasions and gifts. Ian and Kate are proud to offer a personalised service for their customers. They will make cakes or cookies for any occasion at reasonable prices. “If we get at least a day’s notice we can just whip up whatever people need,” Kate says. We even do wedding cakes!” “We can do giant cookies, small and large cakes, corporate packs or specialty cakes, if you have something in mind, just ask. We can prepare Christmas hampers as well as Christmas cookies or cakes.” Ian has more than 30 years experience in hospitality and developed his exacting coffee palate while living in Italy. Before moving to Geelong, the couple ran Ludo, a cafe in central Melbourne, for five years. Orders can be made by calling 5229 0029. They can also be found at www.prendergastandgrace.com.au

POETS, hip-hop artists and outspoken wordsmiths have been invited to polish their rhymes and lyrics for the Geelong regional heat of a 2011 Australian Poetry Slam. Billed as part of Australia’s largest slam poetry competition, the Victorian heats will run from October 26 to November 9. Victorian heats host Emilie Zoey Baker said slam poetry was exciting, immediate, eventful, passionate, often controversial and always entertaining. “A slam is a poetry battle. It’s two minutes of on-stage fire where writers, comedians, lyricists, rappers and poets unload their best work in front of a single mic,” she said. “The judges are picked at random and hold up a score out of 10 for each performer. “The prizes are unbelievable, think sipping on a Long Island Iced Tea while listening to poetry in the pool, all for a two-minute poem.” Geelong Regional Library Corporation chair and councillor Rod Macdonald said this year would be the second time the city had hosted a heat of the Australian Poetry Slam “I encourage our talented local

Versatile Merc’s BY ERIC BLAIR he Mercedes-Benz range of Vito one-tonne vans has two big things going for it from the outset. The first is the three-pointed star sitting in the centre of the radiator grille. The image level of the German company is so high that it even carries across to the light-commercial field. Tradesmen who want to create an air of prestige for their products just love this feature and boast that it helps pull in extra business. The second big thing going for the Vito is far more important. It’s an excellent van that would have scored well on the Australian market even without the image it carries. As a European design there’s good emphasis on safety and security, as well as good steering and handling that makes driving less of a chore than it can be in many Asian light commercials. A problem for local buyers in recent years is that the Mercedes-Benz Vito van range has been too popular in its home market in Europe. So, until now, Australians haven’t been able to buy the most desirable vehicle in the commercial range, the more powerful Vito 111. That has now changed and the importers have done a complete rearrangement of the range to reflect this. The previous Vito 109 range has been trimmed to just one model, the Compact van. It retains the 70 kW / 250 Nm 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine used previously and is only offered with a six-speed manual gearbox. The big news is in the Vito 111 CDI. It is powered

Branding: That Mercedes star on the front scores a lot of image points. by a 2.2 turbo-diesel engine that produces 85 kW and 290 Nm. On the road, we found it to have plenty of performance, performance that lets it keep up with cars when moving away from traffic lights, climb hills without too many down changes, and can even overtake with a fair bit of safe alacrity. During our test period, the Vito 111 CDI consumed about eight litres per hundred kilometres when worked gently, and seldom got to 11 litres per hundred kilometres even when pushed hard with a load on board. Transmission options are the six-speed manual and a five-speed automatic.

Our test car had the manual but we can’t help but feel it would prove to be a pain for the family man using it as a people mover rather than a pure crew cab. The gearbox comes with a handy hillstart feature that holds the brakes on for two seconds after you lift off the pedal. The ESP system, fitted to all current Vitos, comes with Mercedes’ Trailer Stability Assist (TSA). This senses fishtailing in a trailer and does its best to reduce the hazards it can create. Mercedes-Benz Vito 111 is sold in three wheelbases: Compact, Long and Options: Various window configExtra-long, the latter coming in the high- urations are available. roof models. Single-cab and crew-cab bodies are available. Check your local dealer for details of the complete Vito van range. All Vito vans come with trailer wiring and socket as part of the package. A fascinating feature is that the ESP system fitted to all Vito vehicles comes with what the German company calls Trailer Stability Assist. This senses fishtailing in a trailer and does its best to reduce the hazardous behaviour using the van’s ESP.

New premises for specialist in service, repairs to boat engines

T J B “The dealer alternative”

reakwater Marine has moved to a bigger and better location in Moolap. Owner Wayne Gibbons says he’s already booked two weeks in advance as summer approaches. “Now’s the time of year when people start using their boats,” he says. “From now on it’s going to get really busy.” Wayne encourages boat owners to ring with bookings as soon as possible before the waiting list grows any further. He recommends annual motor servicing but many owners either neglect their engines or leave bookings to the last minute. “If you let an engine corrode in this harsh marine environment it will only cost more the longer you leave it.” Wayne says keeping boat engines in top shape is a matter of safety. “When a boat breaks down you can’t get out of it and walk home, like a car. An unsafe engine puts your life at risk, especially if the weather turns nasty.” After more than 11 years in the industry, Wayne has seen many corroded marine engines. He worked at some of Geelong’s leading boating businesses, specialising in Yamaha and Honda, before starting Breakwater Marine just over a year ago. Breakwater Marine specialises in outboard motors and, unlike its competitors, works on motors of any brand or age. Breakwater Marine also offers a pre-purchase inspection service for boats and trailers. “Some people buy old motors that haven’t been serviced for a long time and run into trouble because they’re all corroded. They think they’re getting a bargain but they’re not,” he says. Breakwater Marine is at 12 Wattle Park Ave, Moolap, phone 5248 8480 or email breakwatermarine@hotmail.com.

So the Touch Up Guys go to customers’ homes or workplaces to provide on-the-spot service and repairs.

Whether the kids have borrowed the family car and left a nice mark on the bumper or for any other damage, the guys can help with their services to renew the appearance of customers’ vehicles.

The mobile service can make and match more than 55,000 automotive colours on site. EFTPOS facilities for Visa, MasterCard and debit cards are available for customers’ convenience.

sport Cats off to clean start

GCA It has been a few years since Newtown & Chilwell featured in the Geelong Cricket Association’s match of the round but, after a first-up thumping of Manifold Heights, the Two Blues will seek to match itself against traditional rival St Joseph’s. Skipper Ben Neville led the way last week with a composed 89, while Cory Mathieson provided support with 25 at the top of the order to help post 187 batting first. Manifold Heights didn’t fire a shot, scoring a paltry 89 in just 28 overs. Dale Denny did the damage with the pill snaring the incredible figures of 6/8 from his 10-over stint. St Joseph’s also enjoyed a first-up win against Lara after a close game in which Troy Nolan top scored with 48 in his side’s total of 8/145. Prize recruit Trent Walerys did his bit, taking 3/14 to help claim a 13-run victory. Selections: ST JOSEPH’S v

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE Newtown & Chilwell, BELL POST HILL v Manifold Heights, Highton v GROVEDALE, North Geelong v GEELONG WEST, SOUTH BARWON, v Leopold, Lara v EAST BELMONT. In division two, Bell Park enjoyed a fine first-up victory over St Peter’s last Saturday and will hope to carry that winning feeling into tomorrow’s match against Geelong City. City snared six points of its own over Newcomb & District in round one, which makes this game the only one being played between two undefeated teams. While the Dragons will look to Michael Brown to show his experience, City should be too strong with the likes of Adam Pitts and Adam Marsland in the side. Selections: MARSHALL v St Peter’s, THOMSON v Torquay, Alexander Thomson v GUILD ST MARY’S, Waurn Ponds v ST ALBAN’S BREAKWATER, NEWCOMB & DISTRICT v Murgheboluc, Bell Park v GEELONG CITY, Inverleigh takes on Modewarre in the division three match of the round. Both teams claimed the points last week and go into this game hoping to keep their perfect record intact. Both sides will need 11 contributors to win the game. Selections: Little River v TEESDALE, Modewarre v INVERLEIGH, CORIO v Shelford, Meredith v WINCHELSEA, Corio Bay v BANNOCKBURN, LETHBRIDGE v North Shore.

Snapped up: Tyler Peace with his first snapper, a 2.6kg specimen taken off Barwon Heads.

Red tide tickles anglers pink on the bay LAST week I wrote how anglers were seeing red due to the number of redfin available but now the colour has lightened just a touch with bay snapper. Paul Rennie and mate Graham Blake enjoyed a hot two-hour session on Corio Bay’s inner-harbour, landing their combined big snapper limits with fish to just over 8kg. Fishing only 50 metres away, James Holt caught and released seven between 2 kg and 4kg on fresh pilchards. Francis Grey fished off the silos piers on Monday afternoon’s high tide, catching three fish including a beauty of 8.75kg. Francis also used pilchards. Noel Martin trolled the outer-harbour last weekend, with four snapper nailing his Tail Dancer and Dr Evil lures on his first attempt at trolling for this species. Jacob Farnsworth also trolled and, while he wouldn’t divulge his location, his two fish that I saw were evidence enough of his new-found success. Soft plastics anglers found snapper along the bay foreshore. Most were small but some to 2kg were landed close to Royal Geelong Yacht Club. The same location produced flathead, trevalla and salmon, with Turtleback worms productive. Stephen Fisher caught nine whiting on the Stingaree Bay spoil grounds. However, he thought he had hooked a ray when a rod baited with a squid head screamed off until 20 minutes later he landed a fantastic snapper of 7.2kg. Soft plastics anglers found some big pike while drifting on the outer-harbour spoil grounds, with most better than 80cm. Hermsley produced squid coming from the inshore grass beds, with the key to success staying in water less than two

On the bite BRIAN LONG metres deep. Early morning also returned the best captures. Portarlington to St Leonards hosted plenty of whiting captures, with fresh squid the best bait. Swan Bay’s entrance produced a variety of species including salmon, the odd quality flathead and good numbers of squid. Paul Hunter fished the area after dark, catching two gummy shark to 6.7kg cleaned on squid caught earlier in the day. Many anglers fished off Clifton Springs for snapper, with most taking one or two fish but a great average weight close to 3.5kg. Keep this area in mind for snapper over the coming weeks. Trevally reports from Queenscliff were excellent. Steve Knowles put in a number of sessions at the cut for a total of nine fish to just over 1.3kg and others lost around pylons, his best weighing just over 1.3kg. Offshore anglers reported improving captures. Michael Peace took 12-year-old nephew Tyler out off Barwon Heads, with the youngster nailing his first snapper, a ripper of 2.6kg. Two more fish were also boated. Gary Morrow also fished off Barwon Heads, catching a few nice pinkies in 40m. However, one screaming run ended

with a thresher shark of 35kg. Another thresher, of 46kg, was boated by Chris Stamalos, Keith Fry, Adrian Cole and Mark Sesar also off Barwon Heads. Surf anglers had limited opportunities, with plenty of discoloured water off our beaches. In freshwater, Lismore’s Lake Tooliorook rewarded patience with rainbows to 1.5kg. All methods were working, with bait anglers finding glassies particularly productive. Deep Lake was still discoloured but rainbows were caught on Powerbait. Lake Elingamite yielded brown trout to over 3.5kg along with quality redfin to 1.5kg. Lures worked but mudeyes under floats also returned results. Bostock Reservoir produced rainbows just under 1kg on small suspending minnow pattern lures. Reasonable numbers of redfin were taken in the Barwon River even though the water was still discoloured. Slowly working bibbed lures should work a treat anywhere with moving water. Ben Hutchinson and daughter Erin have been hitting the river, taking nine redfin and a magnificent brown trout in addition to two eels. Worm baits did most of the damage. Ron Nelson Junior Fishing Clinic will run at North Geelong’s Seagull Paddock from 9am to 1pm on October 23. The free competition is open to all children aged under 16 years, with some great prizes up for grabs. More information is available from John Hotchin on 5248 6817 or Ian Pickering on 5266 1008. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Ave, Manifold Heights.

GEELONG Cricket Club enjoyed a fine first-up victory over Melbourne University last Saturday. Batting first, the Cats were in early trouble at 3/32 until Hayden Butterworth picked up where he left off last season to score a fine half century. Jacob Thorne followed suit, while Michael Condy scored 27 and debutant Sam Scannell chipped in with 22 to help set a strong total of 194. In reply, Uni had the worst possible start when Marc Carson took a wicket before a run was scored. From there wickets fell regularly, with Jeremy Hart and then Thorne taking two each. When skipper Liam Buchanan took the final wicket, a 47-run win was the result. Tomorrow Geelong hosts Footscray Edgewater in another one-day match, with both teams aiming to remain undefeated.

Retailer makes its mark on Moorabool “Our staff are the backbone of our businessâ€? With nearly 50 years in the business, E&S Trading has come a long way from selling electrical goods, furniture, carpet and sporting goods. Beginning as a generalist store in Ashburton, Melbourne, E&S Trading has gone on to become one of Victoria’s leading home appliance retailers. After purchasing Owen Crowl & Co. in 2003, the store was re-branded as E&S Trading and given a face-lift with a cookware showroom added to the rear of the building. Despite the name change, a few things have remained the same. Two of the company’s longest-serving employees, Zbig Gonczarek and Gus Stangherlin still work for E&S Trading today. This year Zbig will celebrate another milestone with 41 years in the business, havLQJ ZRUNHG ÂżUVW IRU 2ZHQ &URZO &R and then E&S Trading. “It’s quite an achievement, isn’t it?â€? he laughs. “Many have come and gone in those 41 years, but it’s the people who continue to make it a fun place to work.â€? With already four years of experience under his belt, Gus joined Owen Crowl in 1976 and three decades later he continues to work for E&S Trading. Although one thing that has changed is his job title. Today, Gus is the company’s Online Manager handling all their web orders and queries across Australia.

“I have seen a lot of changes over the years, but I’ve always been with a family-owned business which I love. The Sinclair family have given me the best working conditions I’ve ever had,â€? he says. “Change is a good thing. New challenges have given me a new lease on life and kept me interested in the job.â€? Not only does E&S Trading recognise Zbig and Gus’s outstanding contributions, they also reward employees in other ways.

There is no doubt about it, staff are a priority at E&S Trading. With over 150 employees across Victoria, the company invests heavily in ongoing staff training. Perhaps a rare aspect of this is just how involved E&S Trading’s joint Managing Director Rob Sinclair is in developing new staff. “Staff are the backbone of our business. For me, to be directly involved in their training is something I feel is key to our success,â€? says Rob. In keeping up with the continuous changes in the marketplace, staff are trained on all new products, which Rob says is crucial in maintaining the highest level of customer service.

According to Paul, the new store intro-

duces an entirely new retail concept to the Geelong region. “Geelong has not seen anything like this before. Previously customers had to go to one store for their kitchen appliances then to another store for their bathroom products. Not any more!� As they say, location is everything. With Fagg’s Mitre 10 next door, E&S Trading looks set to transform the corner of Moorabool Street and Barwon Terrace into a one-stop-shop for home improvement.
