Tahlea targets $10,000 with family day at Ocean Grove 13th plan in ‘road delay’ BY KIM WATERS RAISING $10,000 for Cancer Council Victoria seems an achievable target for 13year-old Tahlea White. The pint-sized Ocean Grove girl said that after a beloved uncle died from the disease she simply “woke up one day and decided to raise $10,000”. Tahlea has already raised $1600 with months of door knocking for donations and lolly drives at school. She hoped to make up the difference with a family fun day this weekend. “It should be a really good day out,” Tahlea said. “Through my door knocking and approaching businesses I’ve learnt this is a really great area and everyone is so generous and supportive. “I’ve also met people who said ‘I’m a survivor of cancer’ or ‘I’m dealing with cancer’ and it really motivated me and showed me again why I’m doing this.” Tahlea said her fun day from midday to 3pm at Ocean Grove Hotel would feature a silent auction, live entertainment, a jumping castle, face painting and a free glass of champagne for the first 50 adults. But the philanthropic teen was concerned her fun day may fail to pull a crowd. “I had a really bad dream where only 20 people turned up and I was literally sitting at the door and one family walked in and then just walked out again.” Tahlea’s mum, Tania, was “very proud” of her daughter and co-fundraiser Georgia Ronchi. “Now they need the community’s help, so come down and enjoy a casual Sunday lunch or just sit and let the kids be entertained.”

High hopes: Tahlea White with some of her fundraising material.

BY KIM WATERS CALLS to slow down traffic rather than cut into dunes have delayed plans for new access tracks at 13th Beach, according to Barwon Coast Committee of Management. General manager Bob Jordan said the committee was sifting through “about 50” objecting submissions suggesting a “range of options” to improve traffic management on 13th Beach Road. The committee would now have to seek advice from City of Greater Geelong as the responsible authority for the road, Mr Jordan said. The suggestions included reducing speed limits, installing “traffic-calming devices” and a partial road closure, he said. “Those aren’t decisions we can make, so we’re going to have to raise them with council and get a definitive statement about what’s likely to happen on 13th Beach Road in the coming years.” Mr Jordan said the committee was in “no rush” to make a decision on the controversial project. “We’d hope to have sufficient information from council by May and we’ll decide where to go from there.” The committee has been trying to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety at 13th Beach for five years. Objectors shot down an initial proposal in 2007 fearing environmental damage.

Council adopted the recommendation last week but left the option open for future road closures in the borough. “The completion of the Point Lonsdale pedestrian and road safety strategy will provide council with a clear direction to enable a considered and consistent approach to road safety across Point Lonsdale as a whole,” the document said.

Torquay bikie’s killer jailed for 23 years

423352-FB21-9

BY KIM WATERS A FORMER Rebels bikie has started a 23-year jail sentence for murdering a rival Geelong Bandidos member in 2008. John Russell Bedson, 27, fired a volley of shots into the Bandidos’ Geelong club house on October 22, 2008. The shots killed 51-year-old Ross Brand, of Torquay, and injured Paul Szerwinski who suffered gunshot injuries to his wrist and one of his upper thighs. Victorian Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Curtain sentenced Bedson to

a minimum 18 years jail on Wednesday. Bedson’s brother, Derek, who initiated the shooting, was jailed for 12 years after pleading guilty to manslaughter. Justice Elizabeth Curtain was reported as saying “these offences occurred in a public street of Geelong on a public holiday”. “The firearm was discharged in daylight, in a public street, across a public area into those men who were simply standing there.” Bandidos bikies packed the Geelong courtroom for the sentencing.

Some wore gang colours while others were dressed in T-shirts bearing pictures of Mr Brand. Tributes for Mr Brand flowed on the Bandidos webpage. Some of the posts described the bikie as “a true stand up guy” and a “much loved friend and brother”. “People can say what they want about you because I know the kind of person you were, you had the best heart and a lot of love, you would do anything for the people you cared about, you were seriously one of a kind,” posted Jasmine of Geelong.

Bashed: Charles McIver may never skate again.

BY ERIN PEARSON A BRUTAL bashing in central Geelong has left a professional skateboarder blind, according to his family. Geelong West’s Katie McIver said her 21-year-old brother, Charles, might also have brain damage after the assault outside Moorabool Street’s 7Eleven store early Sunday morning. “At the moment we just have to sit around and wait to see what happens and hope he regains his sight because right now he can’t see. It’s so hard with head injuries,” she said. “Driving to hospital knowing he was bashed and trying to get hold of my parents was just gut-wrenching. “Nobody deserves to go through what we are going through.” Ms McIver said her brother was walking through the city with friends about 3am when a man assaulted him with a single punch. His friends were unsure whether Mr McIver suffered his injuries from the punch or when he fell to the ground, she said. Geelong Skate Shop manager Alec Mels, who was with Mr McIver when he was assaulted, said the skating community was in shock.

“I went with him to hospital and he was in a serious way,” Mr Mels said. “He’s a much-loved member of society and everyone loves him in the skating community. He’d just got a new job and came down to celebrate a mate’s birthday. “This shouldn’t have happened.” Friends flooded Mr McIver’s Facebook page with messages of support as they heard he may never skate or see again. “Hope you’re ok Charlie,” posted Adelaide Gray. Tim Nunn said “Thoughts are with you mate”, while Leah Burgess posted “I hope your beautiful face is ok Charles! xx”. Other friends expressed anger at Mr McIver’s attacker. Mr McIver was recovering at home in Ballarat, she said. A Geelong Police spokesperson said officers had interviewed Mr McIver. The assault follows the bashing of a 56-year-old man a fortnight ago at the corner of Moorabool and Ryrie streets. The Hamlyn Heights man transferred from Geelong Hospital to St Vincent’s Hospital in Melbourne in a serious condition with bleeding on the brain.

Vandals break hearts in attack on cemetery

in brief

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN VANDALS have desecrated the grave of young car accident victim Rachel Baker during a spree at Geelong’s Western Cemetery. Her father, Mark Baker, issued a heartfelt plea to anyone who knew the identity of the vandals after he discovered the damage this week. “If you know who did it, ask them to stop it,” Mr Baker said. “How would you feel if it was the grave of a friend of yours?” Ms Baker was a rear-seat passenger who tragically died in a horror car accident near North Geelong’s Separation Street overpass in June, 2009. Mr Baker said the vandals smashed some of Rachael’s beloved trinkets and stole a locket draped around a photograph of her on the grave’s headstone. “She loved those little trinkets,” Mr Baker said. “Life is enough of a battle as it is. Her death wrecked our lives and this just whacks us again. “I feel like she’s been violated again.” More than a dozen other graves in the Catholic section of the cemetery suffered similar damage. Bell Post Hill’s Franceska Dezelak said she found her parents’ grave desecrated when she visited on the weekend. “My sister visited our parent’s grave last week and saw two or three graves vandalised but when I went on Sunday I found my parent’s grave had been desecrated and another 20 or 30 had also been damaged,” Ms Dezelak said. “It looks like its on-going because someone has just gone mad. I’m appalled. “It appears that someone is very angry. Regular visitors will be absolutely distraught. “Vases, crosses, angels have all been smashed and the pieces are strewn everywhere.” Mrs Dezelak said Geelong Cemeteries Trust should install a security camera to catch the vandals. “It’s not that expensive to put up a camera and catch them. I know the police can’t be everywhere all the time, so the community has to be alert.” Trust head Darryl Thomas said security patrolled the cemetery twice during evenings and on weekends. “It’s upsetting but unfortunately it does happen from time to time,” Mr Thomas said. “We try to act as quickly as we can to bring it to a halt. We contact schools in the area and often other kids have known something about it and assisted with information. “We always do catch them; we’re very serious about it. A reward is offered.” Geelong police also appealed for anyone with information to phone the Crime Scene office on 5225 3237.

DEAKIN University has signed an agreement with a Chinese company to launch an automotive steel research centre at Waurn Ponds, the institution has announced. Deakin said the Centre for Automotive Steel Research and Innovation would draw on the expertise of the Chinese company, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of the metal.

Wishes ‘stolen’ THIEVES have stolen thousands of dollars worth of coins from a wishing well during an overnight robbery at Anakie’s Fairy Park, according to police. A Victoria Police spokesperson said the public should keep an eye out for the “soiled coins”, which would have suffered significant corrosion and staining from years at the bottom of the well.

Steel resolve

City promotion AN ADVERTISING campaign will seek to lure shoppers from western Melbourne and regional Victoria to central Geelong later this year, council has announced. Councillor Barbara Abley said the campaign would use funding from an annual levy on traders to reach a “much broader geographical area” with television, print, bus and tram advertising.

Cancer call GEELONG cancer patients and their doctors have demanded a Federal Government boost for diagnostic imaging services, according to the organisers of a new funding campaign. Cancer Voices Australia said the funding shortfall was leaving the patients “shouldering a sizeable cost burden” each time they needed a scan or X-ray at private clinics.

Waterway rates GEELONG’S council plans to levy residents of a Point Lonsdale estate with higher rates when City Hall takes over management of waterways surrounding their properties in 10 years, according to council. Councillors voted this week to consider options for a differential rate on The Point after developer Stockland handed over responsibility for the waterways when it completed the estate in 2021.

READY WITH CA H. Chartwell victims celebrate Hoy jail sentence Cash from $300 to $3,000 now! “We lost $1.7 million but this (Hoy’s sentence) is not going to change that,” she said. “I won’t get my life back. I’ll still wake up tomorrow without my husband and I’ll still be in debt. “It’s destroyed my family. We’re absolutely heartbroken.” Ms Saba said the Chartwell loss had forced her out of retirement and into work as a nurse to pay her debts. “I’ll have to work until I’m 90,” she said. “I feel betrayed and I’ll never invest in anything like this again.

“I also feel let down by the government - where were their watchdogs and what were they doing?” Ms Saba said Mr Hoy’s bids for leniency had angered his victims. “He claimed he had medical problems but his illnesses were not proven medically. He had gout and high blood pressure but, as the judge pointed out, what 58-year-old doesn’t have high blood pressure. “The health issues he has caused us are far greater than his. “At least this part is over now. The rest will never be over.”

Bell Park investor Diane Saba clapped in court as Justice Forrest handed down his sentence. “I’m quite happy with 13 years and nine months jail,” she said. “I would have loved more but for my own health and sanity I have to accept this and just move on from it.” Ms Saba said her husband, Dusan, died from shock and stress after Chartwell collapsed in 2008 with their life savings.

of high and ongoing importance.” Geelong Mayor John Mitchell said Avalon was Geelong’s “jewel in the crown”. “Avalon is a package, so it makes sense to centre aviation facilities there,” he said. Avalon Airport chief Justin Giddings supported the feasibility study. “It’s a good idea because there might be other sites putting their hands up,” he said. “We’ve told State Government we are keen to have it. It would not impact on housing, would work in well with the main airport with regard to traffic control and fire services and would have easy access to all areas of Geelong with the ring road.” But Mr Townley said he would lose scenic joy flight customers and some pilot training business if the regional aviation services went to Avalon. “A fair bit of our business is scenic joy flights down the coast and Avalon would add half an

hour flying time and associated costs. I don’t think people would pay the extra, so I’d lose that side of the business. “With flying training, we’d have inexperienced students mixing it with commercial jets flying around, which could be a worry.” Mr Townley said the Grovedale site had a chance of securing a month-by-month extension “We’ve set up a satellite base at Tocumwal to allow us to operate. We’d prefer to stay and operate locally but this issue might not be settled by the time we have to move.” Mr Townley said he would prefer to site his business south of Geelong. “Something along Anglesea Road or west of Fyansford, with access to the ring road would work well for us.” Mr Townley said he believed the feasibility study would be complete by June but could be delayed to September.

Blue Circle Southern Cement despite residents fearing its use of alternative fuel HiCal40 was a health threat. “It’s acceptable to burn certain wastes in kilns as the kilns operate at very high temperatures,” the EPA spokesperson said.

“They’re also fitted with dust filters to reduce particle and metal emissions (and) the lime used to make cement scrubs out any gases.” South Grovedale Action Group’s Margarita Kumnik said residents wanted further investigations.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN AVALON is firming as the preferred site for a new regional airport facility, according to civic leaders. But Geelong Airport operator Andrew Townley said siting the facility at Avalon would cost him a significant part of his business. The airport, which caters for charter, pilot training and recreational aviation at Grovedale, has closed to visiting aircraft and will close permanently in June when it becomes part of a Villawood residential development at Armstrong Creek. South Barwon MP Andrew Katos said he supported developing a new regional facility at Avalon alongside the area’s existing domestic passenger airport. “The Coalition made an election commitment to a $150,000 feasibility study into a Geelong regional airport.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN FOUR-METRE, moving metal sculptures installed off-shore in Corio Bay with a nautical theme and lighting are among suggestions to get creative juices flowing for a competition to design a Geelong “icon”. Members of the Icon for Geelong judging panel suggested the sculptures as an example of the ideas organisers were hoping to attract for the competition. Organiser Andrew Senia said

he and the other judges were already fielding entry ideas. Premier and former architect Ted Baillieu, who has been invited to be a guest judge, has thrown his support behind the Icon for Geelong. The City has authorised chief executive officer Steven Griffin to investigate participation in the competition. Deputy Mayor Cameron Granger has revealed council would consider contributing $20,000 for total prize pool so far of $30,000.

Mr Senia said the concept could gain private and corporate backing as well as government support. “I can see that an impressive icon would attract naming rights sponsors,” Mr Senia said. Other judges on the panel are Mayor John Mitchell, Geelong Otway Tourism boss Roger Grant, Deakin University’s Professor Hisham Elkadi, city chamber of commerce executive officer Bernadette Uzelac and Geelong Art Gallery head Geoffrey Edwards.

LEAVES IN YOUR GUTTERS? Protect your home against fire and flooding ® C Install Allclear Leafguard made from Colorbond Steel There is a Colorbond® product on the market AllClear Leafguard that can save you all the hassles regarding leaves blocking your gutters and creating a fire hazard.

It is for this reason that the AllClear Leafguard can safely give you an amazing 20 year warranty. AllClear Leafguard is secured under your tile or iron roof and to the front of your guttering.

AllClear Leafguard made from Colorbond® steel has many beneﬁts, including protecting and prolonging the life of your gutters.

When the Leafguard is in place it cannot be seen from the ground, so it does not ruin the appearance of your roof.

Gone are the days of spending hours of your valuable weekend time up on a ladder cleaning your gutters by hand. AllClear Leafguard will do the job for you. By keeping your gutters clear of leaves, it will stop any overflowing which causes water damage to your home and will ensure gutters last years longer. AllClear Leafguard was developed by Ron Lienert after he spent 20 years in the home improvement business, including many years using other leafguard products. “I saw a need for a good Leafguard and was able to evolve a successful formula,” Ron Lienert said. The problem of bushfires is always upon us and there is a pressing need for home owners to protect their properties as best they can in the event of fire. One of the ways home owners can be prepared is by ensuring their gutters are free of leaves and debris that

could easily catch on fire, leading the flames to the body of your home. AllClear Leafguard is made of Colorbond® steel, the same material as your gutters – so it won’t melt in fire or perish and become brittle. It stops embers and burning leaves getting under the roof. When there are no leaves on the roof or in the gutter there is nothing to burn so the embers just sit and then go out. Fire prone areas are being urged to get their gutters fitted with metal leafguards to protect against potential bush fires.

AllClear Leafguard is designed especially for the collection of clean water for rain water tanks.

Ambos ‘untrained’

New fear on crews “Rural Victoria is so underresourced that the 129 paramedics would have to be spread out everywhere. “This is just the tip of the iceberg. There needs to be so many more trained paramedics deployed to rural Victoria and Geelong in particular.” Statistics suggested Geelong would have 40,000 emergency incidents this year, Mr McGhie said. “Emergency caseloads will grow by about five or six per cent and we need additional ambulance crews and paramedics to respond to that.” An Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said the organisation “recognised” that regional Victoria needed more paramedics. “Which is why we are hiring 234 paramedics this year alone, who will be working in regional locations,” the spokesperson said. “On top of this 41 new recruits have been employed in their graduate year this year for placement in the Barwon SouthWest region. “Our ambulances are not restricted to any one location and our main concern is that of our patients. If one area is busier than another then we move ambulances around to reduce response time and improve services.”

BY KIM WATERS AMBULANCE Victoria is sending Melbourne crews untrained in rural procedures and equipment to Geelong daily amid a staff shortage, according to a union spokesperson. Ambulance Employees Australia secretary Steve McGhie said the Melbourne crews’ inadequate training had created “various problems” in the past month. Mr McGhie blamed Ambulance Victoria for failing to induct the Melbourne paramedics in Geelong procedures before sending them out to cope with the city’s “increasing” workload. “These crews may not know the location of the hospital and the geographics of the surrounding districts, so it takes them longer to get to places,” he said. “There are also different radio procedures in Geelong and the layouts of the ambulances are different as well. It’s putting the people of Geelong and the paramedics at risk.” Mr McGhie slammed Ambulance Victoria for deploying “only 14” of this year’s 129 new paramedics to Geelong, “one of the busiest areas in the state”. “Geelong desperately needs additional paramedics and, while 14 will assist, it’s still not enough,” he said.

City close to convention project milestone

Centre within site BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A SITE for Geelong’s proposed convention centre could be settled within weeks, according to Mayor John Mitchell. He said City Hall would receive an answer on whether it could secure the preferred site “just after Easter”. “We’ve identified five potential sites with one stand-out preference,” Cr Mitchell said. “So far we’ve been unable to get an answer on its availability but I expect to get an answer

CHANGED TRAFFIC CONDITIONS ST HELENS BOAT RAMP UPGRADE The St Helens Boat Ramp will be closed for approximately four weeks to all boat traffic from Tuesday 15 March 2011 to upgrade the ramp from two lanes to three with associated floating pontoons. An alternative boat ramp is Limeburners Point Boat Harbour on Hearne Parade, East Geelong. Shore based fishing off the rocks and the St Helens carpark will still be accessible for public use during this period. For further information contact the City’s Environment and Natural Resources unit on 5272 4785.

soon. The owner of the land has previously been unable to make a decision on whether it’s available to place on the market or not.” Cr Mitchell declined to identify the site but regional councils alliance group G21 has identified Deakin University’s waterfront campus car park as the preferred option. Cr Mitchell said settling on a site was the major hurdle preventing progress on the convention centre. “Sooner or later Geelong needs a major convention cen-

tre. We have the potential to do it and we’re missing out on a share of a huge market worth over $17 billion nationally. “One of the major hotel chains has already indicated strong interest in adding to the region’s accommodation stock if the centre gets the go-ahead.” Deakin chief operating officer Graham Dennehy said university growth plans would determine whether it wanted to keep using the car park. “Before we can make a decision on the site we have to set-

UPCOMING EVENT

ORGANISERS have unveiled a host of new features for the region’s leading talent quest this year. The additions to this year’s Powercor Star Search will include a “Clap-O-Meter” for the audience to choose its own winner. The organisers said the meter would determine the loudest clapping to pick a winner. The categories would also expand, with this year’s Star Search also including a new section for vocal or instrumental groups. Organisers said the third addition would be dancers from Infinite Dance Studio as “guest artists”. The dancers would add a physical performance element to the night of competition for singers and instrumentalists. Entries have opened for the Rotary Club of Highton event, which is Geelong’s longest-running musical talent quest. Organisers said vocal heats would run on April 26 at St Luke’s Uniting Church, Highton. Instrumental heats would be on May 3. Finalists will vie for a prize pool of $6500 at Geelong’s waterfront Costa Hall on May 13. Entry information is available at starsearch.net.au. Star Search tickets are available from Geelong Performing Arts Centre.

City seeking seat on funding body

Funeral Information, Options & Advice

• To Barwon Heads can do so via the Surf Coast Highway, Mt Duneed roundabout, Lower Duneed Road and the Barwon Heads Road.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG’S council is pushing for membership of a new body to recommend funding priorities for the region’s economic growth, according to Mayor John Mitchell. Mayor John Mitchell said membership of Barwon Southwest Regional Development Authority was crucial as City of Greater Geelong embarked on a period of intense lobbying for regional infrastructure projects. “The City has been very clear on the need for a regional focus,” he said. “We strongly support (regional councils alliance body) G21 but we should also be allowed to become a member of regional development authority (RDA).” Member for South Barwon Andrew Katos supported the City’s application for membership. The RDA advises on federal funding as well as 40 per cent of the proposed $1 billion Victorian regional growth fund. Barwon Southwest RDA chair Bruce Anson said the authority supported the City’s application but federal Regional Development Minister Simon Crean was responsible for appointment. The RDA had a full complement of members but one member would soon resign, Mr Anson said.

Touching down: Geelong Buccaneers players Layke Rossiello, Daniel Tinitali, Chris Beynon and Scott Augustynowicz. Picture: John Conway 61803 it up to speed for our club,” Marty said. The club has 50 registered players but Marty believed it would be a big year for the sport in Victoria. “Gridiron Victoria received 14,000 enquiries after running some TV advertising during the recent National Football League play-offs and the Superbowl,” he said. “Teams in Melbourne have more than 100 turning up to training sessions. Once people know there’s a place for them to play they’re interested.” Marty said the Geelong club concentrated on its under-18s so players would graduate to senior ranks.

“That work is coming to fruition now, with 90 per cent of our playing stocks coming through our juniors.” The Buccaneers tasted success last season with a record of 11 wins and one loss, good enough to reach the “Vic Bowl”. “We had 200 supporters cheering us on,” Marty said. “Unfortunately, we lost by only one score but we hope to go one better this season.” A number of Buccaneers players have been selected for national and state representative squads and two punters joined division one college teams in the US. The Geelong squad benefited from the coaching expertise of

visiting Kutztown University, Pennsylvania, coach Tim Tobin as it prepared for the season opener on May 7. Marty said the club had all the gear for new players wanting to try out. “We have a strong gym culture and work with Geelong Weightlifting Centre at Newcomb. “If your playing days are past, we always have spots for medics, trainers and officials.” Marty said anyone keen to join the club should phone president Gary Wilson on 5226 4446 or 0431 476 680, email him at garrywilson@swiftdsl .com.au or visit www.baycitybuccaneers.com.au.

BY KIM WATERS A THREE-MONTH surveillance trial has detected four “excessively noisy” trucks on Geelong’s bypass despite residents claiming hoon truckies are keeping them awake at night. VicRoads vehicle management and safety director Don Hogben said the trial had used a mobile noise camera to identify trucks emitting excessive noise. Mr Hogben said the owners of the four trucks provided “necessary evidence” their vehicles complied with Australian design rules for vehicle noise, so no registrations were suspended. VicRoads initiated the trial after residents last year hit out at excessive use of engine braking on the bypass. But Mr Hogben said engine braking was “integral” to safe operation of trucks. VicRoads was planning more monitoring of truck noise around Victoria but the program was “subject to funding priorities on a state-wide basis”, he said. Residents neighbouring the bypass expressed disappointment at the trial results, saying noisy trucks were still a pest. Albo Tatasziore said the racket was keeping his children awake at night. “We understand the road has to be there and that it’s done a good thing for Geelong but it’s like they’ve just forgotten about us.” Mr Tatasziore called on VicRoads to install permanent noise cameras on the bypass and Princes Highway in Geelong. “Noise cameras will keep the truck drivers honest, just like speed cameras discourage people from speeding.”

IT BEGAN as many clubs do: a bunch of blokes getting together with a common interest. In this case it was throwing an American football around on an oval. Gradually it grew in sophistication as more gridiron fans turned up, running some of the complicated offensive routes for which the sport is renowned. Bay City Buccaneers founder and coach Marty Jackson said the group got its act together in 2003 to approach Gridiron Victoria about playing in the state competition. “We had quite a few talented US players who played with us as well as some Aussie fans of the game. “We were fortunate to pick up some coaches who’d been playing here for a good 18 years, so we were able to form a senior team and an under-18 team.” After years of playing on converted ovals, the club now boasts a gridiron-only ground at Corio Community Reserve in Hendy Street. “It was a soccer ground but was underused, so we’ve been doing some working bees to get

City to start carbon ‘conversations’ THE Gillard Government has chosen Geelong for Australia’s first “public conversation” on introducing a carbon tax, according to a Climate Commission statement. “Chief Climate Commissioner” Professor Tim Flannery said the commission wanted to “hear and understand” the concerns of Geelong people on climate change.

“We want the people of Geelong to start the conversation,” he said. “This is Geelong’s opportunity to ask questions and share ideas with the climate commissioners and participate in the national conversation on this vital issue.” The event would address issues such as the impact of climate change on Australia and

how carbon “pricing” could “interact” with Australia’s economy. The commission statement, released on Monday, said the talk would run from 5pm to 7pm this Friday at Geelong West Town Hall. Registrations and submissions of questions were available at climatecommission .gov.au, the statement said.

Water Forum for Community Members and Stakeholders Geelong

You are invited… Barwon Water is hosting a forum for interested stakeholders and community members. Every five years, we update our 50-year Water Supply Demand Strategy, which is a crucial part of our Water Plan. The Water Plan is reviewed by the Essential Services Commission to determine water prices for the region. The objective of the forum is to promote public participation in the review of our Water Supply Demand Strategy and explore a collective vision for our next generation. You will hear from industry experts on how integrated water management strategies can address the challenges of climate uncertainty and population growth. We will then break into groups for facilitated discussion around the current water supply and demand situation in the Geelong region. We will explore how we can develop alternative water supply solutions for liveable communities.

letters Piles of solution

on the periphery of the CBD. Of course, it would cost a lot. Perhaps Federal Government could turn its stimulus spending to something useful. The technology and the support infrastructure are just up the road in Melbourne. Despite many engineering and financing questions, I don’t think this discussion can wait too long. Future growth and development of the CBD may make it more difficult to bring back trams in the future. One thing seemingly lacking at the various levels of government is long-term thinking and foresight. So, readers, please think, talk and write about this idea. If public opinion is behind it and it is a good idea, the pollies just might get on board. Alan McKenney Newtown

PRE-WAR Portarlington’s beautiful beach on the western side of the pier was enjoyed by many people and was a popular destination for lots of trade union picnics visiting from Melbourne. The old pier was built on piles that did not interfere with the tidal flow along the beach edge. The present pier, built in the late ‘40s with stonework on the water’s edge, forced the tidal flow to change its course, eroding the sand away on the western side of the pier. Over 60 years this has caused huge damage and wiped the beach away. A similar pier design was used at St Leonards with the same results. To spend large amounts of money and resources on the beach (Independent, March 18) is unwise without first fixing the cause, which would require removing the stonework and replacing it with piles. JG Henderson Point Lonsdale

Bean around MONUMENTS to our town fathers are superfluous considering the bizarre state of central Geelong, for one thing. Traffic, especially at the intersection of Malop and Moorabool streets, is ridiculous. The mall is full of unsavory characters and the main street is overflowing with too many downmarket shops. Steampacket Place, which was begun around 1975 with grants from Gough Whitlam’s Regional Development Scheme, is more indicative of outside influence than local oomph to get it going. It took only take 30 years or so to complete, minus the originally proposed IMAX theatre and convention centre, which was to be situated near Deakin University’s waterfront campus. It is a fine tribute to the snail’s pace of development under previous local administrations and is no reason for a monument to any of them. As for Frank Costa, he has his name on everything bar the baked beans at your local supermarket. That should be enough! Gary Oraniuk Geelong

I WRITE regarding a story in the March 11 Independent headlined ‘Sex guru in prostate group talk’. On behalf of Deaf Access Victoria, I am delighted Zonta Club of Geelong has agreed to my request to provide Auslan interpreters for the event. When I read the story I thought the talk would be worthwhile for members of the deaf community to attend and that in order for them to understand Bettina Arndt’s humorous presentation on men’s health and sexuality it should be translated into Australian sign language on stage. Zonta Club of Geelong was chartered in 1977. Members raise funds through a range of annual and one-off projects including theatre nights, fashion parades, auctions, special dinners and raffles. The club’s membership comprises a broad crosssection of women from in and around Geelong in a diverse range of professions. Members of the deaf community who want tickets to the Bettina Arndt talk can text 0400 030 529 by SMS only. Kathy Fitzmaurice Deaf Access Geelong and Barwon

Another chapter I WOULD like to thank Alan Barron for his letter headlined ‘A backward story’ in last week’s Independent for raising yet another critical observation. During the reign of the Greek and Roman empires an efficient mode of transport for armies was horse and chariot. This altered as the structure of society adapted to the climate of the time. This analogy can also used in a hypothetical case of 2100. As the boy in Mr Barron’s letter listened to his father he heard how communities realised that renewable resources and sharing and caring could be sufficient for a society conscious of the health of both the planet and its people. A carbon tax may not bring about the best result and is where we need to get out of our finger-pointing attitude and stand together to understand one thing: why should we always be so selfish and demand everyone to listen to our wants? We do not need many of the items referred to in Mr Barron’s letter but, due to our world running on an economy fed by purchasing and the depletion of the perceived health of the planet, a false sense of need has arisen. I ask Mr Barron: if action speaks louder than words, what are you going to do about it? I would like to reiterate the final line of his letter: The journey of a thousand miles, or kilometres since we are in Australia, begins with the first step. Ben Smith Bell Park

Circus delights oldies I COMPLIMENT the manager of The Moscow Circus, Greg Hall. I am a recreation activity officer for Bupa Care Services in Barrabool Road, Belmont. On March 12 we took 13 residents and eight volunteers to see the 1pm show. Greg and his team of workers couldn’t do enough for us. They moved seats for ease of access for the folks. They were courteous and patient when helping with each resident to their seat. The show was spectacular, with breathtaking acts; a world-class show! At interval the residents wondered what else the circus do next for its performances. They had never seen a better show. Some of them

AT A time when the central business district (CBD) is atrophying, improving amenity and access would help its revitalisation. Perhaps it’s time to start the process of bringing the trams back. Large cities with trams are far more efficient, pleasant and healthy than those without. Central Geelong is growing and getting busier and will to continue to do so. Trams would be a great investment in the future. Buses don’t effectively service central Geelong. While they do a good job servicing sprawling suburbs, they also add to congestion, noise and soot in the CBD. A tram could possibly connect the railway station, civic and arts precinct, shops, the bus interchanges, Eastern Beach, hotels, hospitals, Deakin University, The Gordon et cetera. It could also service car parks

Bender rules, says Clapton BY ERIN PEARSON GOOD rock music comes from bad influences, according to legendary Australian singer-songwriter Richard Clapton. “Charlie Sheen’s got nothing on me,” he joked to the Independent ahead of this weekend’s show in Geelong. “I don’t want to promote or advocate this but all the drunken benders we had created angst and from angst you get the good songs. Those poets’ decades ago had their muses and that (benders) is why artists of my generation have anthems.” “But rather than grand standing and preaching, I preferred to make music more subliminal. People have been listening to Deep Water thinking it’s lovely all these years but I wrote it after a drunken bender in the studio, which resulted in a fight with my girlfriend followed by my car breaking down. “Music needs hooks.” In between packing boxes to move house, Clapton said he feared contemporary music had become “pasteurised”.

Legend: Richard Clapton plays on Geelong’s waterfront this weekend. “Music’s becoming a pop sausage factory,” he said. “Those anthem-like songs don’t seem to be happening any more.” Australian rock music histori-

an Ian McFarlane has described Clapton as one of the most important Australian songwriters of the 1970s. With albums of hits including Diamond Mind, Capricorn Dancer and Girls on the Avenue, Clapton was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 1999. Clapton grew up in Sydney during the 1960s as part of a dysfunctional family. His parents separated when he was aged two. From then on he had no contact with his father, a surgeon, until his mother’s suicide when he was 10. Clapton said he chose to use his struggles as “fuel to his fire”. He has since worked with some of the country’s most respected musicians and bands, including INXS and Cold Chisel. “I’m trying to set examples,” he said. “I’d like to think we’re all part of a subculture. Music can make a really, really strong connection.” Clapton will perform at Geelong’s Waterfront Cafe on Sunday.

young people between 12 and 25 year old that can help save lives. “One in four young people in Australia experience a mental health issue such as depression, anxiety or related alcohol and drug problems each year. Research shows that 75 per cent of these disorders begin before the age of 25 years,” Toni says. “The problem is 70 per cent of young people don’t seek help. That’s why we’re promoting our services through these competitions.”

Positive steps for your teenagers’ future normous pressure is on teenagers in education to achieve a perfect 99.95 per cent ATAR score. The reality is that many teenagers may not reach their target score. Whether it was due to the overwhelming pressure or anxiety of exams, not every 15-to17-year-old has the drive or academic interest to achieve the perfect score. A negative education experience can have a permanent effect on self-worth and consequently on future life and employment prospects. The Gordon recognises that every teenager is unique, so it offers an alternative range of courses specifically tailored to reengage 15-to-17-year-olds in need. Courses can be tailored to suit youths lacking interest in the school environment or coping with learning difficulties. The Gordon utilises different learning programs specifically designed for young people who wish to prepare for further study

Sharmaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story fostering hope

Sharmaine is now in a better place. house in the following three years. I lived in seven different foster homes. At the age of 17 I met a lovely lady who I now call my aunty. I was only supposed to stay with her for two weeks but that turned out to be a whole year. Everything I know, the way in which I present myself, the way I speak and act, all of this I have learnt from many people with whom I have shared homes.

You can help brighten the future of a young person in need.

A lot of foster kids feel left out and alone. At times we steer down the wrong path but at the end of every tunnel there is always a bright light, which I was extremely lucky to find. No one is perfect but you control the decisions you make in your life. I am now 21, have a full-time job, rent a beautiful house, own a gorgeous dog and have my driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence. I am telling my story to inspire kids who have gone through or who are going through a similar misfortunate experience. Keep your head up high, set yourself goals, aim to try hard and to be the best you can. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lower your expectations whatever they are and, most importantly, have dreams and goals.

Well over 400 young people have been assisted. The Buckland Foundation Grant is providing for comprehensive research into the problem of food insecurity, which is being undertaken by Jill Whelan a PhD student with Deakin University. Food insecurity affects 7.5% of 18-25 year olds. This number disguises the acute pockets of absolute hunger and malnutrition experienced by young people in our community. Research to date with RMIT University has found that at least 85% of homeless youth in Geelong experience food insecurity. Many of these young people experience acute hunger â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;...

TO ALL the people out there who share a life story and experiences similar to mine, my name is Sharmaine. I was put into foster care at the young age of five. Unfortunately, I was one of the unlucky children out there whose parents are unable to take care of them. My family and I had to go through ups and downs as I went from home to home with out any stability in my life. But when I was seven my family and I were blessed to have the good luck of meeting a lovely couple with two daughters. I now call the couple my step-parents. I was quite excited when I was also able to live with my brothers and sisters until I was 14. I then moved from house to

isherman’s Pier will remain one of Geelong’s fine dining icons with the arrival of new owners and a new chef. Sphinx Hotel’s George Ramia and George Katos, of Katos Fish Supply, say they will stick to the Fishermen’s Pier motto: “The finest of fine dining.” Mr Ramia says new chef Tyler Vakidis has reviewed the menu to 70 per cent seafood and 30 per cent general dishes including lamb, duck and beef. “We had a bit of work to do to get the food and wine service right but we’re excited by the new menu,” Mr Ramia says. “The menu changes daily according to the availability of fresh seafood and there’s also a children’s menu. “When you add that to the freshest produce available in the region, the comments on food and service have been exceptionally good.”

Mr Ramia says long-term plans include refitting the bayfront restaurant. In the meantime, the venue is operating seven days a week. “Fishos Café is open daily from 8am to 8pm serving fresh fish and chips and the best coffee in town. We’re also offering a three-course lunch special for $25 and soon we will introduce a high tea from 10am to 5pm daily.” The restaurant offers a free limo pick-up from 6.30pm to 11.30pm for selected bookings. And a five course degustation menu with matching Scotchman’s Hill wines will be available on April 12, with winemaker Robin Brockett in attendance.

Geelong Rep playing it for laughs eelong Repertory’s first play of 2011, Shoehorn Sonata, was an enormous success. In searching for a successor to the moving, true story of women in Japanese POW camps in World War Two, Repertory has chosen something completely different. I Do Not Like Thee Dr Fell is a dark comedy written by one of Ireland’s most popular playwrights, Bernard Farrell. Lampooning the encounter group movement of the 1960s, the play tells a tale of six people coming together in a bare room to frankly discuss and address their fears and emotions under the guidance of American Susan Bernstein. The evening begins innocently but the contributions of enigmatic Joe Fell rapidly lead to chaos and comedy. Experienced director Colin Urquhart has assembled an excellent cast including Victorian Drama League Award winners Morgan Jenkins and Charlotte Hukvari. The play will open on April 8 ate Woodbin Theatre in Coronation Street, West Geelong, and run until April 30.

Rhys is a member of Western District Historical Vehicle Club in Geelong and as well as the Melbournebased Ford Owners and Restorers Club of Victoria.

In fact, Rhys is keen on Fords and Anglias built between 1930 and 1950. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like all the Ford types in the eith to 10-horsepower series, I do like the little Anglia, the Harry Potter-type that featured in the movie.â&#x20AC;?

The family has about 16 cars, mostly Fords and Anglias, tucked away inside a shed in various stages of restoration. Rhysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Janie, says many are only a few panels, one is a rolling chassis and a couple are â&#x20AC;&#x153;almost completeâ&#x20AC;?. Rhys has been home-schooled and

squeezing. Luggage space grew with the longer X5 of 2007 but a lot of it disappears if you have the extra row of seats in place. Insurance costs are higher than average for a 4WD, but not if you take into account that this is a prestigious German machine put together with topline materials inside and out. Servicing really should be left to the experts, though you can tackle some of the minor jobs yourself if you feel that way inclined. The BMW dealer network is large and efficient, but dealers are much more prevalent in the metropolitan areas than in the bush. We have heard of no real complaints about spare parts availability and only the occasional query about pricing, but if you’re moving up from a Japan SUV you should be aware that parts will be more expensive for an upmarket German marque. Few BMW X5s suffer the trauma of real off-road conditions. Clues as to off-road use include scratches on the body sides caused by squeezing past bushes and trees. Check the condition of the bumper corners in case they have rubbed against rocks and the like. Look for scrapes on the underbody protection plates. Be sure the engine idles smoothly from the moment it fires up. It’s important that a petrol engine pulls strongly without any initial hesitation and doesn’t blow smoke from the exhaust when the throttle is floored. Diesels will have some turbo lag when accelerating, but if you feel it’s too bad have a professional check it out. The automatic transmission should work almost imperceptibly. Run through the sequential functions for speed and accuracy. Have a good look over the interior, particularly at the seat bases and in the vicinity of the door controls for signs of rough treatment. Try engaging all the 4WD modes to make sure they operate.

Sporty activity vehicle: The BMW SUV is more activity than utility.

BY ERIC BLAIR MW’s X5 has proven to be a huge success in Australia, primarily because it’s more of a sporty people mover than an SUV. Indeed, BMW prefers to call it an SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle) rather than an SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle). Though you can use an X5 as an off-road explorer if the conditions aren’t overly rough, most owners never take them off sealed surfaces. The BMW X5 first reached Australia in November 2000 and gained a good reputation right from the start. It really appealed to those looking for a prestigious station wagon to cart kids. And many buyers had dreams of one day carting those kids into some interesting out-of-the-way areas in the Australian bush or desert. Or perhaps even to the beach. The on-road handling is exceptional for a two-tonne 4WD, with plenty of road grip and the ability to change direction much more readily than you would anticipate. Indeed, many drivers won’t push their passenger cars as hard as the X5 is capable of cornering. Keep in mind, though, that these are big vehicles with a relatively high centre of gravity so they aren’t as good in the handling department as a lowslung BMW sedan. Comfort is good, almost to car-type station wagon standards, but if the driver does become enthusiastic in attacking corners the passengers may not like the relatively large amount of body roll. Though less than average for an SUV, the body roll is exaggerated by the height of the large vehicle. BMW was one of the early adopters of turbo-diesel engines and these oil burners have been on the market in Australia since 2003. They come with a capacity of 3.0 litres and also have six-cylinder using an in-line arrangement. The new X5 model of 2007 was significantly bigger than the first-generation X5 and offered the option of a third-row seat for the first time. That rear seat is best suited to kids, but adults can use it without too much

A yearning for the oldies From page 42 “My mum drives me to meetings and car shows and sometimes we take the car on a trailer.” “I love the body shape - it was the lines of the body that I noticed when I first saw the car. “There aren’t many of them around there’s only two in Australia and this is the only one that’s been on the road in the past 10 year.,” Rhys says the car was restored by a member in the New South Wales club. The gentleman who finished the restoration died and his family took the car to a national rally in South Australia where they sold it to a buyer from in Stawell, in western Victoria. “Five months ago it was suggested by my mentor in the club, Bill Ballard, as being a very rare car and, unlike my other cars, this one was fully restored,” Rhys said. When I saw it I just loved it straight away and we bought it on the same weekend we looked at it. “It’s powered by a 900cc, side-valve, 10-horsepower engine. “The car is all stock standard, and has a three-speed manual transmission. Janie says the family travelled to Stawell for an inspection. “We all piled in and I took it for a drive

around the block and we bought it there and then.” Rhys says all the car needed was new tyres and fixed indicators. “Top speed is about 50 miles per hour (80 km/h) and it doesn’t wander over the road like some other cars with the skinny wheels,” he says. Rhys’s Ford Model C is fully optioned with a reclining back seat so passengers can sleep inside. The car appears to have a sunroof but it’s actually a leather and fabric roof. “Some people think it is a sunroof. It’s designed to allow the car’s interior to breathe because when you’re driving along the roof blows up and you can actually feel the hot air getting out of it,” Rhys explains. He has been messing about with cars since he was about 10 or 11 and rebuilt a Suzuki Mighty Boy when he was 12. Janie bought Rhys an engine lifter to help him rebuild the little car. “I taught myself about engines from books and also got help from my mentors in the car club. It was all part of my home schooling, then.” Rhys says he’s keen to enrol in a panel beating and spray painting course. “I’d also like to do a welding course to improve my knowledge.”

The Hon Matthew Guy MLC, Minister for Planning, has appointed an Advisory Committee under section 151 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 to advise on the planning, consultation and approval arrangements for Section 4C of the Geelong Ring Road. The Advisory Committee will also consider the relative merits and impacts (economic, environmental and social) of the approved alignment of Section 4C of the Geelong Ring Road compared with any other alignments previously considered by Vic Roads, the City of Greater Geelong, or any other relevant government strategic planning investigation. The Advisory Committee’s tasks and process for conducting a hearing to consider these matters are set out in the Terms of Reference dated 22 February 2011. The Terms of Reference can be viewed on the Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD) website www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/planningpanels by selecting ‘Current Planning Panels and Advisory Committees’. This review is to have regard to the function of the road to provide an east-west arterial road connection, and Barwon River crossing to service the southern suburbs of Geelong and Armstrong Creek, as well as the Bellarine Peninsula. The Advisory Committee is also to consider any additional remedial measures that could be incorporated into the design and development of the Section 4C alignment to address environmental and amenity impacts on existing and future residents. The previous Minister for Planning approved Amendment C232 to the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme which applied a Public Acquisition Overlay (PAO3) to enable VicRoads to acquire the land to construct Section 4C of the Geelong Ring Road. The Advisory Committee will review this part of the Amendment. The previous Minister for Planning also approved as part of Amendment C232 to the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme the application of a Public Acquisition Overlay (PAO9) to enable the Department of Transport to acquire the land to construct the Armstrong Creek West Station and car park (south side). The Advisory Committee will not review the application of the PAO9. Background material for Amendment C232 is available on the DPCD website for information. Copies of this information will also be available for viewing at the following locations: City of Greater Geelong Customer Service Centre 131 Myers Street GEELONG Department of Planning and Community Development State Government Offices Level 4, Corner Fenwick and Little Malop Streets GEELONG VicRoads South West Regional Office 180 Fyans Street SOUTH GEELONG Or online at: http://www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/planningpanels/ The Advisory Committee invites submissions from any party with an interest in the planning of Section 4C of the Geelong Ring Road with regard to the matters set out in the Terms of Reference.

THE ORIGINAL

Cats face ‘fast, furious Saints’ BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG expects to run against a harder and faster St Kilda this weekend when the Saints face a Cats side under an injury cloud in the opening AFL round for 2011. Geelong coach Chris Scott said St Kilda would field a much-different line-up to the team the Cats played during the pre-season competition. “We expect (St Kilda) to fight exceptionally hard for the contested ball and expect them to defend well,” he said. “The battle in and around the ball will determine the outcome of the game. “It’s a long season. I think it will take time to get where we need to be but no team is where they want to be in round one.” Scott confirmed key forward James Podsiadly would miss the season opener but left hope for the return of Paul Chapman and injured captain Cameron Ling. He anticipated that Podsiadly would return for the round-two clash against Fremantle at Subiaco. The club would punt on older players in favour of under-performing youngsters as it vied for a return to premiership glory in 2011,” Scott said. “The data tells us it’s hard but that’s not news to us. “That’s what we’re all about we need to create our own history.” Scott said no debutante palyers

Rookie: New Cats coach Chris Scott is looking forward to a big season. Picutre: Tommy Ritchie 55062 would appear for the Cats this weekend, although Taylor Hunt and Mitch Duncan were chances for a trial despite playing less than 10 AFL games. He conceded the round-two match in Western Australia would be in the back of his mind this weekend but assured fans the travel plans would have no impact against the Saints.

Steven Motlop was still battling injury demons and would miss the first match alongside Shannon Burns and Mitch Brown, Scott said. The Cats play the Saints at the MCG this Friday night. Geelong lost to St Kilda in their last home-and-away-season encounter by four points in September.

sport Tigers eye flag bacon Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE and tail-ender Sam Carr batting bravely through the innings after Kolbaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run-out. South needed 10 runs in the final over but could manage only nine, putting Grovedale in the grand final. The match at Geelong Cricket Ground should be tight, with some of the best, most-experienced players in the region going head to head. As the team to beat all season, Grovedale should bring home the bacon. In division two, Geelong Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dominant season climaxes against St Albans Breakwater after respective victories over Highton and Torquay last weekend. City looks to have the balance spot on, with both its bowlers and batsmen in good form. The same canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be said for St Albans Breakwater whose batting has been ordinary of late, a factor that will prove its downfall. The divison three grand final will be contested between Lethbridge and Bell Park. Lethbridge smashed Winchelsea last week, while Bell Park upset the highly fancied Little River in the other semi final. Lethbridge appears to have more match-winners and should cap off a fine season with a premiership but Bell Park wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go down without a fight.

GEELONG Cricket Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quest for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maiden first XI premiership came to a crashing halt last weekend in disappointing circumstances. The Cats bowled first on Saturday, restricting Frankston Penninsula to 246. Marc Carson and Cameron Alford took two wickets each but Jeremy Hart led with 4/65. Hart finished with 39 wickets for the season, which will surely catch the eye of state selectors. On Sunday Geelong was in early trouble, slumping to 3/52. Tom Elliott battled bravely for 45 and Justin Foss scored 38 to put the Cats back in the game at 5/188. But then the nightmare set in, with Geelong losing 5/3 to be all-out for 191 and bundled out of the finals for another year in a golden opportunity gone begging for the club. One brighter note, the second XI moved through to this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand final against Prahran at Toorak Park. Geelong Cricket Association holds its grand final round this weekend, with Geelong West facing Grovedale in division one. West had the easier route through with a comprehensive victory over East Belmont at Burdoo Reserve last weekend. Glen Talarico ripped through the East lower order with a brilliant 5/22 from 15.5 overs before Mike Chapple, Shane Arthur and Damien Vassilou all scored 30s the following day to win with a minimum of fuss. Grovedale was involved in an alltime classic, tying with South Barwon in a run-fest at Winter Reserve. Nick Peterson scored 126 to help the Tigers reach 9/279. South Barwon looked gone at 3/58 but a magnificent 105 from Damien Kolba put his side back in the match

Soft touch: Carlo Muncey with a 45cm from Stingaree Bay.

Lessons learned: Hamish and Gus Chapman with their catch from Point Henry.

Anglers let it Rip for return of the kings EVERYONE was talking about kingfish over the past week after some of the best captures of this species in the region for decades. Kingfish were a prized capture from The Rip over 20 years ago until they disappeared for some unknown reason. But now it seems everything has changed, with plenty of fish to 14kg recently taken. Numerous anglers and charter boat operators have had success lead lining or downrigging, with the kings holding deep. Danny Sharp caught six trolling 23cm Mould Craft squid in the Lumo colour at a depth of 18 metres. Portseaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ken Faith took the same number on a lead line. Anglers should remember The Rip is a dangerous water requiring extreme care to navigate. Troy Stephens put two night sessions in at Swan Bay for two gummy sharks of 8kg each but the real surprise was four snapper over 4kg taken in around 1.3m of water. Perry Martin fished the channel out from Duck Island for a mixed bag of flathead, snapper, pike and salmon on soft plastics. Squid were still available in good numbers from all the inshore grass beds between Edwards Point and Portarlington. Small snapper remained a problem in the bays over the past week but anglers still landed some quality fish, with John Uwland nailing a 6kg ripper off Clifton Spring in the middle of the day on pilchard. Shaun Wallis also had success on the bigger snapper when he boated two fish of 6.3kg and 3.7kg after dark on the outer edge of the Hermsley spoil grounds.

On the bite BRIAN LONG School teacher Aaron Hassett took youngsters Hamish and Gus Chapman in his boat for a soft plastics lessons. On the first cast Hamish landed a nice flathead on a Turtleback worm, while Gus followed up with a number of pinkies. Hamish landed the best fish, a 42cm snapper, with the boys now looking forward to their next off-campus lesson. Renowned snapper angler Carlo Muncey was again with soft plastics in Corio Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inner-harbour when he found fish to 45cm on the Stingaree Bay spoil grounds. Chris Farnsworth fished North Shore rocks for a nice bag of snapper, his best a respectable 52cm. Chris landed seven fish in the two hours leading up to dark, with squid strips the best bait. Whiting reports were scattered throughout the bays, with some of the best captures in close to Point Lillias. Trevally were taken from Queenscliffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cut on soft plastics such as Turtleback worms and curl-tail grubs. Surf anglers struggled with sandy con-

ditions along most of the coast, with salmon taken when the water cleared. A couple of gummy sharks were also caught. Estuary anglers found the Barwon River productive for salmon, trevally and mullet on bait and lure. Best baits were sandworm, shrimp and bass yabby, while Turtleback worms and wrigglers were successful lures. In freshwater, anglers fished through small fish for quality redfin and brown trout at Wurdee Boluc Reservoir. Lures were the clear standout. West Barwon Reservoir produced trout to just over 1kg on Tassie Devils in the gold colours. The lures had to drop deep before retrieves, with many of the fish taken well down underwater. Further afield, Lake Lonsdale has returned some huge bags of redfin to anglers trolling bladed lures such as Celtas and Sonites. Masses of yabbies have also been taken. Chris Ferkin, of New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black Magic Tackle, landed a bluefin of 99kg off Portland. Good numbers of albacore to 20kg so have also been taken, so a trip down the coast could be an ideal plan for Easter when the fishing should be red hot. The surf should be worthwhile for salmon this weekend if the water is clear, otherwise anglers with appropriate skills, a suitable boat and heavy gear should hit The Rip for kingfish.
