Ex-Dimmeys building to become arts hub in city centre BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A DISUSED former Dimmeys and Target building in central Geelong will turn into an arts hub for two months. Stephanie Tribe, of arts collective Sub-ari, said the group hoped to create a large-scale art exhibition spanning three floors. “We’re looking for installation artists who need a bit of space for their works,” Ms Tribe said, “the kinds of installations might include something like a series of film projections on the walls or interactive sound art that changes as you walk through the building.” Ms Tribe said owners had handed over the vacant building to the artists of Geelong so they could bring additional life and activity to the central city area. “It will also create a platform for local artists and some of the artists exhibiting in other projects like Illumination might also be in this.” Ms Tribe said the project would include a series of art workshops for the public, with the works included in the exhibition. Ms Tribe urged interested artists to apply before August 1 by phoning Sub-ari on 07488 066 628, emailing stephanie@sub-ari.com Internalised: Portarlington’s Bec Fary, Geelong’s Stephanie Tribe and Highton’s Ben Neoh get a feel for the disused Malop Street building.

City warning on bat ‘virus’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG residents must stay away from flying foxes after one of the animals was discovered carrying a deadly virus in Melbourne, authorities have warned. Victoria’s acting Chief Health Officer, Dr Rosemary Lester warned against handling flying foxes, which sometimes roost in backyard fruit trees. Geelong has a population of around 8000 flying foxes in Eastern Gardens. “Under no circumstances should people handle flying foxes on their property, as some diseases they carry, such as Australian bat lyssavirus, are transmissible to humans,” Dr Lester said. “Since 1996 a total of nine Victorian flying foxes have been found carrying the virus. The most recent detection was earlier this month in a flying fox found at East Kew. “Australian bat lyssavirus is a rare but fatal disease that may be transmitted from flying foxes to humans. “Domestic pets may also be at risk. The virus is transmitted through being scratched or bitten by a flying fox. “Although it is known that many flying foxes across Australia carry the virus, instances of transmission to humans are very rare. “Australian bat lyssavirus is detected from time to time in flying foxes in Victoria, but no human cases have ever occurred here. The disease has never occurred in domestic pets in Victoria.”

Burqa protest blasted their identities in public. “I’ve been called racist a good many times. I’m anything but,” Mr Hutchinson said. “I have no problems with foreigners as long as those that live here do so by our rules, our customs.” More than 13,800 people have joined the page’s silent protest to highlight the “serious threat” of burqas to public safety. The Facebook group wants “no one” to have the right to conceal

a burqa in Geelong, so I don’t know where these boys are coming from,” Mr Martinez said. “I understand the outfit can be confronting for some people but the numbers of people who wear them are minute. “We’ve had Pauline Hanson try to get a foothold in Geelong before with no success and you go to Pako Festa and don’t see anyone complaining about multiculturalism. “I’m not sure what these boys have to prove.”

had prompted the campaign. Police charged Carnita Matthews with making a false statement for alleging an officer tried to tear off her burqa. Her jail sentence was dropped when prosecutors were unable to prove her identity when she made the statement. Michael Martinez, chief executive officer of Geelong multicultural services provider Diversitat, slammed the protest. “I haven’t seen anyone wearing

he felt passionate about the issue. He wanted people who had joined the Facebook page to wear identity-concealing garments on Monday to protest burqas. “The idea is for us to go about our normal lives, just concealing our identity to highlight the security concerns that we believe are genuine.” Mr Hutchinson said a controversial New South Wales incident involving a woman concealing her identify in a burqa from police

their identity in public. Mr Hutchinson said the burqa was a symbol of reluctance to integrate. He wanted all head and facial coverings banned in public places. “Policies in most workplaces prevent people wearing motorcycle helmets, balaclavas, ski masks or anything that conceals a person’s identity from being served – we’re seeking a blanket ban.” Mr Hutchinson said some might consider his opinion extreme but

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN LIBRARY services across the region face cuts after State Government slashed funding, a Geelong councillor has warned. Geelong Regional Library Corporation chair Cr Rod McDonald said the organisation could lose as much as $500,000 in state funding over the next four years. The Government reduced funding state wide without warning last week after library corporations had finalised budgets. “We’re facing a shortfall of $70,000 on budget this financial year and the gap will only widen over the next four years,” Cr McDonald said. “It’s really disappointing because it will mean service cuts.” Cr McDonald said regional libraries were showing improved attendance figures. “The Government funds us based on population and CPI but has cut the funding and said its not including indexation in the funding formula.” Cr McDonald said library cor-

Municipal Association of Victoria president Bill McArthur urged councils to refuse to sign the funding agreement. “This could not come at a worse time for the sector because councils have completed budgets for the coming year and there has been no forewarning or explanation from the state,” Cr McArthur said. ”We’ve already heard from a number of councils wanting to participate in joint advocacy on this matter. A strong and united

response from local government will be important to ensure public libraries receive adequate state funding to survive.” The MAV said the state wide cut was $5 million over four years. Cr McArthur accused the Government of trying to shift the costs of running libraries to local government. The state’s contribution to public libraries had reduced from 20.1 per cent of service expenditure over the past three years to 19.2 per cent while local government’s recurrent contribution had grown from 72 to 74.7 per cent, he said. Geelong Regional Library Corporation chief Patty Manolis said the cuts compromised the corporation’s ability to carry out its five-year plan. “We hope funding will be reinstated, otherwise this will have a terrible impact on Victorian libraries and Geelong Regional Library Corporation.” State Government had not returned the Independent’s call for comment when the paper went to press.

Acid soils ‘discovered around housing sites’

in brief Indy praised AN “EXCELLENT commitment to news” has earned the Independent praise at a Community Newspapers of Australia 2011 awards, according to judges. The awards’ presentation night in Melbourne last Friday concluded with the Independent placing second in the category for best newspaper with a circulation over 50,000.

Industry and Sustainability and Environment, Corangamite Catchment Authority and Environment Protection Authority have completed extensive studies of the region’s acid sulfate soil areas since 2005. The reports identified the Corangamite catchment area as the second largest area of acid sulfate soil in Victoria, with 13,845 hectares. City of Greater Geelong accounted for 11,745ha, Surf Coast 482ha and Queenscliff 145ha. Barwon River lakes and swamps held a concentration of acid sulfate soils infringing the Armstrong Creek urban development area, the reports said. “Potential” for acid sulfate soils also existed at Fyansford, Geelong West, Whittington, Belmont, Thomson and Leopold. Airey’s Inlet, Jan Juc, Breamlea,

Point Lonsdale, Swan Bay, St Leonards, and Portarlington also hosted acid sulfate soils. The sulphuric acid corroded concrete and steel pipes and building foundations while also turning waterways acidic, killing fish. Health threats included skin and eye irritations and burns, the reports said. The soils were usually disturbed during excavation and lowering of water tables from installation of drains or pumping of bores. Development projects such as land reclamation, digging ponds for aquaculture, sand and gravel extraction or dredging for ports and marinas were likely to disturb ASS. Government departments and statutory bodies were developing a management strategy for the soils, the reports said.

Callers ‘seek discounts’ after blaze kills sanctuary koalas

Giving boss A NEW boss with a record of service in the not-forprofit sector has taken over the reins of the region’s peak financial support body for welfare agencies. Give Where You Live has announced Bill Mithen, pictured, as its chief executive officer, with the born-and-raised Geelong man taking on the job after two years as national operations director for Save the Children Australia.

Fraud jailed A WOMAN who stole $118,000 from Torquay Golf will spend at least two years in jail, a Country Court Judge ruled this week. The court heard Nicole Muscat worked at the club as its operations manager when she committed the thefts in 2007.

Farrell review CONTROVERSIAL Geelong councillor Jan Farrell has avoided a second bid to strip her of council’s community safety portfolio for writing a reference for a glassing thug on a City Hall letterhead. Cr Cameron Granger withdrew the portfolio motion this week, with councillors instead agreeing to review their policy on use of council letterheads.

Bowel boost A FUNDING injection will help Barwon Health meet rising demand for procedures to help diagnose bowel cancers, according to Victorian Health Minister David Davis. He said the $92,000 would help Barwon Health buy equipment as part of a state-wide funding boost to expand colonoscopy procedures.

BY ERIN PEARSON CALLERS demanded 50 per cent off a Barwon Heads wildlife sanctuary entry charge because a fire had killed half its koalas, according to horrified operators. Jirralinga Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary owner Hamish Gordon said volunteers had fielded three phone calls seeking the discounts on Wednesday. “We’re still trying to come to terms with the fire and people want half-price entry because six koalas were killed in the fire,” he said. “It’s very hurtful.” A fire ripped through Jirrahlinga’s koala hospital about 1.30am Tuesday. Mr Gordon said he narrowly escaped serious injury when the building exploded as he fought to save the koalas. His wife, Tehree, was “utterly heartbroken” to watch on as fire crews sifted through the hospital remains. The blaze had broken the not-forprofit sanctuary, she said. CFA Operations officer Graham Lay said investigations put the blaze down to an electrical fault. Blackened walls and blistered paint left a painful reminder of injured animals killed in the blaze. Sheep skin rugs, once used to comfort injured animals, lay blackened among the ashes. Mrs Gordon said she was preparing for bed after a long shift desexing dingoes at her property near Castlemaine when she was alerted to the fire. A 2004 Australian of the Year, Ms Gordon had grown accustomed to desperate early-morning calls for help with injured wildlife but was unprepared for her own disaster. “This place is everything to us and all our staff. Everyone is shattered,” Mrs Gordon said. “But we’ll rebuild, there’s no choice. The animals still need us.”

VICTORIA’S Planning Minister has “temporarily reinstated” City of Greater Geelong’s lapsed 7.5metre height control for residential developments, according to Mayor John Mitchell. He said the next step would be to determine whether the limit should become “permanent” after operating on a temporary basis for more than 20 years.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN Geelong and the Surf Coast are riddled with acidic soils linked to Anglesea River fish kills, according to government reports. The reports said Armstrong Creek and Torquay’s contentious Spring Creek area were among the sites holding acid sulfate soils. The soils were harmless when undisturbed but produced sulfuric acid and became environmental hazards when exposed to air and water. Geelong Environment Council president Joan Lindros said effects of exposed acid sulfate soils on the Anglesea River and the Otways’ Boundary Creek were “horrendous”. “This is a huge issue and concern,” Ms Lindros said. “It appears to be the elephant in the room for the responsible government agencies and departments.

Cost fears for councils

fortywinks.com.au

Emitters wait on ‘fine print’ BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG’S largest emitters of carbon dioxide are waiting on the fine print before deciding where they stand on the Gillard Government’s new carbon dioxide tax. Geelong Mayor John Mitchell feared the tax could be a “significant cost” to councils, which use large quantities of electricity for purposes such as street lighting. “Local government itself is a large consumer of energy,” he said. “We’ll also be seeking clarification on the specific ramifications for landfill sites and the waste industry generally.” Barwon Water managing director Michael Malouf, who described the authority as a “major user” of electricity, was also yet to determine the cost impact. Barwon Water would be unable to pass on any cost increases until it had completed its existing pricing plan in 2013 and had secured Essential Services Commission approval for new charges, he said. Alcoa climate strategy general manager Tim McAuliffe said the company was also working through the carbon pricing details. Alcoa needed “detailed regulation provisions” to determine the tax impact on its business, he said. “However, from what we can see so far emissions-intensive, trade-exposed provisions have been built in and this is essential to preserve the international competitiveness of our world-class export industries,” Mr McAuliffe said. “Without these adequate safeguards Australia would experience both carbon and jobs leakage to overseas competitors.” Corio MP Richard Marles described Sunday’s carbon tax announcement and compensation package as a “watershed moment” for Geelong. “It means large carbon emitters like Boral Cement and Alcoa will get 94 per cent of permits they’re required to have under this scheme provided for free,” he said. But Liberal Senator Michael Ronaldson warned that the Gillard Government had forgotten Geelong’s small businesses and families. “Current Labor MPs Richard Marles and Darren Cheeseman, along with Julia Gillard, have ignored their plight with no compensation for local small businesses,” he said. “Geelong’s small businesses have been left to fend for themselves.

Opportunity blows in for ‘new-age’ turbine BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG engineering firm Austeng is building a uniquely designed silent wind turbine for business and industrial sites. The Renewable Energy Solutions Australia (RESA) design aims to supply energy for factories, warehouses, ports, airports and schools. RESA business development manager Michael Le Messurier said the 23-metre “virtually silent” turbine was rated at 20kW. “The Eco Whisper turbine is unique with its 30 blades extending outward to from a 6.5-metre diameter central hub,” he said. “The advanced dynamic slew drive eliminates requirement for a tail, allowing the turbine to operate in high wind speeds while facing the wind full-time. This avoids turn-away losses and results in increased power over longer time periods.” Mr Le Messurier said Austeng was building a commercial prototype for on-site testing. The company chose Austeng based on Industry Capability Network recommendation and its track record in “high-level projects”. Mr Le Messurier said the turbine was also suitable for rural zones around Geelong due to the region’s “abundant wind resource”.

“It’s well-suited to urban development sites such as office buildings, apartments, industry parks, shopping centres and universities. “The turbine provides grid connection through an approved inverter. Power can be used onsite or fed back into the grid, making the turbine extremely versatile.” Austeng project engineer David Hapgood said the company had been working on the project for six months. “We’re keen to put the test unit up at our site and hook it up to see how it lowers our company’s carbon footprint.” Mr Le Messurier said once the test phase had been successfully completed the company would ramp up production.

Weisers Bakery and Café 1st Birthday Weisers Continental Bakehouse has a long history in Geelong. It’s been 15 years in the ownership of Erwin Halle who migrated to Geelong from Germany in 1988 with his family. After he took over the bakery from Mr Hans Weiser, the original founder of the bakery, his goal has been to bring more continental style breads, cakes and good coffee to customers. Weisers specialize in German style bread including 100 percent rye bread, sour dough, dark rye and light rye. All are made with natural fermented sour dough. In addition, many have been introduced as rolls as well as well as continental rolls. The Bakehouse produce daily fresh lots of delicious cakes, including their famous poppy seed triangles and logs, walnut logs, fresh egg custard tarts which are made traditional, like grandma used to make them. Another specialty is Berliner, which are donuts ﬁlled with custard, jam or apple. They also stock a lot of delicious traditional cakes too. The stores sandwich bar is very popular, with made to order sandwiches and rolls using local fresh produce from a local green grocer and delicatessen. During a cold day customers are warmed up with traditional pies, pasties, sausage rolls

and quiches which are available in a number of ﬂavours. The aroma ﬁlling the store is from their coffee, a rich blend of Italian beans. After the renovation of Hughes Street in Bell Park and a new store becoming available between Siketa Meats and IGA, management decided to complete the continental feel of the street by adding continental style bakery and café which is managed and run by the owners daughter, Sandy Hoffmann. All products are made daily fresh in the original bakehouse in Pakington Street, Geelong West, and transported every morning to Hughes Street. As well as traditional products Weisers have expanded their line to meet customers special requirements by recently adding items such as a new line of gluten free cakes and dietitian recommended wholemeal multigrain bread. The two stores have their own distinct feel. The store on Pakington Street has a cozy metropolitan atmosphere whilst Hughes Street is set with open plan seating and alfresco dining, with ample free car parking available. Hughes Street is open Monday to Friday from 7.30am to 5.30pm and Saturday 7.30am to 2.00pm.

City seeks ‘quick hook-up’ to NBN 423352-FB21-9

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG is pushing to jump the queue for connection to Australia’s National Broadband Network, a councillor has revealed. Cr Rod McDonald, who holds council’s economic development portfolio, said council had started talks with the Federal Government company rolling out broadband. “We met representatives from NBN Co last month to push for early roll out in Geelong and we were well received,” Cr Rod McDonald said. NBN Co has yet to announce its “third tier” roll out, which would include Geelong. However, the agency said residents of Little River, Meredith and Moriac would be among four per cent of Australians to receive only a fixed wireless service instead of fibre optic cable. Cr McDonald said City Hall had already budgeted $100,000 for a regional digital strategy. “Council is developing a digital strategy and has begun the process of engaging with NBN Co as well as regional institutions and industry bodies,” he said. “We’ve held discussions with the Australian Industry Group (AIG) to set up a regional pilot program to advocate the benefits of broadband to SME’s within the region.” AIG plans to run a seminar in Geelong on September 1 to help regional businesses improve their understanding of business growth opportunities with the broadband network. Cr McDonald said a Geelong Small Business Festival next month would also emphasise the NBN roll out. Geelong would also host a “highly regarded regional economic development conference” in October, he said. The Sustainable Economic Growth for Regional Australia (SEGRA) conference

AUSTRALIA’S MOST SPECTACULAR ORCHID DISPLAY AND SALES

Industry group returns to city AUSTRALIAN Industry Group has reestablished a presence in Geelong, the lobbyist has announced. The organisation has appointed Pam Mansfield as membership relationship executive for the area. Victorian director Tim Piper said Ms Mansfield would work to ensure the voice of Geelong business was heard at all levels of government. “Pam will be working with business to help them meet the challenges facing the area, including the carbon tax, the high

Australian dollar and skills shortages.” Mr Piper said Ms Mansfield would work closely with Geelong Manufacturing Council, City Hall’s Economic Development Unit, Geelong Export Network and Industry Capability Network. Ms Mansfield said AI Group planned a series of Geelong events including a member briefing session at the end of the month on latest workplace regulations, carbon pricing and other issues with Geelong implications.

would feature sessions on the NBN. Cr McDonald said the council was participating in a Canadian university research project on the development of on-line services in municipalities. Cr McDonald’s report on his attendance at an Intelligent Community Forum in New York last month recommended setting up an internal working group for Geelong to

examine broadband opportunities. He recommended planning for a regional digital strategy through municipal lobby group G21 Alliance, which has an NBN advocacy project. “(We must) include regional institutions and industry groups and major businesses in the engagement process.” Cr McDonald said in his report.

RECYCLING AND RUBBISH

HELP US LEAD THE WAY IN RECYCLING Have you ever thought about what happens to a plastic drink bottle after you throw it in your garbage bin? It ends up getting buried as landfill and will remain there forever. Plastics do not break down in landfill. Imagine if you throw away three plastic bottles a week. If every household in Greater Geelong did the same, that’s a whopping 300,000 plastic bottles being buried every week. In one year we would have to bury 15.6 million plastic bottles! Please put them in the recycling bin.

WHAT PLASTICS CAN BE RECYCLED? Put simply, hard plastics such as ice cream tubs, detergent containers and drink bottles can be recycled so should be thrown in your yellow lid bin.

Six Northern Bay P-12 College primary school students attending Tute Group – The Bethany Shell Homework Club were recently rewarded for their 100% attendance during Terms 1 and 2.

Soft plastics, such as plastic bags and cling wrap can NOT be recycled and need to go in your red lid bin. If you're collecting recylables in plastic bags, please make sure these don't get thrown in the recycling bin too.

The students received gifts, including books and educational supplies, courtesy of Shell. The rewards are aimed at encouraging students to strive for full attendance.

Polystyrene foam is not recyclable and goes in the red lid bin. RECYCLE YOUR ANALOGUE TV FOR $5 - OFFER EXTENDED FOR JULY

Tute Group is a weekly after school programme held at the Vermont and Hendy Street campuses of the new Northern Bay P-12 College. It is part of the reﬁnery’s social investment programme and helps grade ﬁve and six students with their homework and assists them with the transition to senior years schooling.

During June, more than 1,200 people took advantage of the $5 offer to recycle their old TVs. The offer has now been extended for the month of July. The offer is available at Drysdale Resource Recovery Centre (Becks Road) or North Geelong Resource Recovery Centre (Douro Street). The charge goes towards the cost to recycle materials. TVs are 98 per cent recyclable. Local company GDP Industries employs people with disabilities to dismantle the TVs at its North Geelong plant. The parts are then sent off for recycling.

Now in its third year, 29 students are enrolled and more than 110 students have taken part since it began.

NEW STATE GOVERNMENT LANDFILL TAX CAUSES TIP FEES TO INCREASE

REFINERY MAINTENANCE Shell Geelong Reﬁnery will be conducting planned maintenance on a number of reﬁnery units during August and September.

The State Government has increased its landfill from $30 per tonne to $44 per tonne as part of its ongoing campaign to reduce waste going to landfill. The City has absorbed as much of the cost increase as possible however the new tax means tip fees will have increased.

This activity has the potential to generate a larger than normal flare at the beginning and end of the project. Some community members may also notice increased traffic to and from the refinery during this period.

For example: • Car boot load is now $14.50 (previously $12.50) • Utes, vans, single axle trailers (waterline) is now $31.50 (previously $27.50) The full price list is at www.geelongaustralia.com.au

BY ERIN PEARSON A GIVE-WAY sign in the middle of a roadway at a South Geelong intersection is causing traffic mayhem, according to an elderly neighbour. Betty Tolhurst said cars were crashing into the sign so often she was struggling to cope with the stress. The sign, at the intersection of Hopkins and Fyans streets, had caused untold “thousands” of dollars in damage, she said. The 86-year-old called on council and VicRoads to relocate the sign. She and her family had witnessed “dozens” of crashes in the past decade. “I’ve lost count of the number of times people have hit the pole. It happens too often,” Ms Tolhurst said. “Recently a good friend was coming to the house and did thousands of dollars worth of damage to his car. “I’ve seen the shock on peoples faces and it’s upsetting. The bumps and bangs frighten me.” Crash through; Betty Tolhurst with the notorious South Mrs Tolhurst’s son, Ken, Geelong give-way sign in the background. Picture: said he recently helped Tommy Ritchie 67421

three drivers drag bumper bars off the road after tangling with the sign. “Once a year would be sad but it’s happened three times just in the past month yet council just keeps reerecting the pole. “I’ve seen bumper bars wiped right off and just recently helped an older man put his in the boot of his car. He was very upset.” Mr Tolhurst said the sign was clearly in the wrong place. “When the sun’s in a certain spot it’s impossible to see the sign.” Mr Tolhurst was concerned about the impact on his mother from the constant crashes. VicRoads is responsible for Fyans Street, while City of Greater Geelong manages Hopkins Street. VicRoads regional director Robin Miles said the organisation would investigate “alternative measures” to increase the sign’s visibility. “VicRoads reminds motorists to slow down when approaching intersections for the safety of all road users.”

Belmont market:

Parks safety ‘fears’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A PARKING squeeze at Belmont Common’s popular Sunday market has created safety fears, according to organisers. The shortage of spaces has forced families to park in a K-Mart car park and attempt to cross busy Barwon Heads Road. City of Greater Geelong runs the market under the management of Barwon Valley Activities Centre. A spokesman for the activities centre said parking was “a bit of a problem”. Parking was available in three locations around the centre, including inside a loop of a recently completed $1.5 million cycling criterium track, he said. “We did have signage up when the track was being constructed and it was up for six or eight months but the public never got used to parking in there and people don’t use the car parks as much as they could. “Because it hasn’t been paved yet and there are a couple of potholes it puts people off from parking in there.” The spokesman said distance was also an issue for market patrons. “Most people think K-Mart is closer,” he said. “The marked spaces go pretty quick and then people park on the nature strip and nearby areas to be as close as they can.” The City declared when building the 2.2-kilometre criterium track that it would be able to coexist with the market. Centro Properties manages the K-Mart car park as part of the company’s Belmont Shopping Village precinct. Centro Newcomb manager Lisa Kinnear said she was aware of market patrons using the car park. “But we don’t have ability to patrol the car park,” she said. City sport and recreation manager Paul Jane said about 250 car parks were available at the Barwon Valley Activity Centre on market days. “This includes 57 car parks sealed when the cycling criterium track was built last year as well as an overflow car park capable of accommodating around 200 cars,” he said. “As part of the criterium track works gravel was spread over the overflow car park to make it easier for vehicles to access it and sealed paths were installed to link the car park to the market area.” Mr Jane said the number of car parks for use during the Belmont market remained unchanged since completion of the criterium track.

‘Options’ on deputy mayor emerge from consultations BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE POSITION of deputy mayor could become a sticking point for introduction of direct mayoral elections in Geelong, according to a State Government spokesperson. The spokesperson said differences of opinion on how to appoint a deputy emerged when Government Minister Jeanette Powell opened another round of consultations on the direct mayoral elections. “While there was strong support for directly electing the mayor, the situation concerning the deputy mayor was less clear cut,” the spokesman said. “The minister met with representa-

tives from Geelong’s council, Municipal Association of Victoria, Victorian Local Government Association and Local Government Professionals to canvass their views.” The spokesman said options including electing the deputy as part of a leadership team or in a separate vote. The minister could also allow the directly elected mayor to appoint the deputy or require council to make the decision. Other options were rotating the role between councillors or leaving council to decide whether to have a deputy. Municipal Association of Victoria sought “urgent feedback” from councils.

Eating out: Darren Holroyd says demand is diminishing in Geelong for fine-dining restaurants. Picture: Tommy Ritchie

67185

BY ERIN PEARSON THE TOP end of Geelong’s restaurant industry is battling a shift in demand, according to industry representatives. They blamed a trend toward casual dining after Yarra Street restaurant Riviera became the latest upmarket venue to close following Pettevel and Ushers in May and April respectively. Golden Plate Awards organiser Pam Jewson noted a “big shift” toward middle-range, casual dining in Geelong. “Fine dining is now being seen more as occasional dining and people are shifting toward relaxed, contemporary dining,” she said. “That’s why we’re seeing expensive places struggle a bit. We’re finding people are eating out more but they’re going to that middle-range destination they don’t want linen tablecloths.” Ms Jewson said many nominees in this year’s Golden Plate Awards were steering away from the fine-dining tag. “They’re saying ‘Don’t put us in fine-dining category because we don’t want to scare customers off. We want to be in the relaxed contemporary category’,” she said. “These people understand where the trend lies and the smart ones are starting to adapt.” Geelong Nightlife Association President Darren Holroyd said changing trends and tough financial pressures were evident in the city’s restaurant industry. Mr Holroyd’s own venues, including The Pier and The Edge, were “trying to go with the majority”. “That’s how we see our venues succeeding,” he said. “The fine-dining market is limited and there just isn’t the demand in Geelong for a lot of them.” Ian Tomkins, who owns up-market Geelong restaurant Empire Grill, said fine dining establishments must “build trust” with customers to remain competitive. “We try and keep things consistent to cater for that,” he said. “Geelong still has opportunities for fine dining restaurants but a lot of boutique competition is popping up.”

Shooters have a blast with city’s pistol club Join the club JOHN VAN KLAVEREN MENTION pistol shooting and it conjures up many different notions, from wild westerns or cops and robbers shoot-outs to more-sedate Olympic competition. All of that is catered for at Geelong Pistol Club as president, John Kennedy explained. He said the dynamic action of International Practice Shooting Confederation matches offered a higher degree of spectator engagement. An American innovation, the IPSC events had grown in popularity because they offered a greater allround challenge, he said. “Competition rules can be complex, with all sorts of variations involving the calibre of the handgun, type of ammunition and different size and distance targets,” John said. IPSC shooters had to blend accuracy, power and speed into a winning combination, he said. Multiple targets, moving targets, targets that react when hit, penalty targets or even partially covered targets, obstacles, movement and competitive strategies were all part of the challenge. The action matches involve holster shooting, positions behind barricades, at various distances from a target, using left or right hand or from a prone or sitting position.

Golf course plan keeps Lone Pine BY ERIN PEARSON A MEMORIAL pine to fallen soldiers will remain in place as work goes on around it to redevelop the former Geelong Golf Course for a residential estate, according to developers. A Links Living spokesperson said the Lone Pine would remain “exactly where it is” to become part of a new nine-hole course planned for the site. The spokesperson welcomed a Legacy Geelong plan to reinstall a memorial plaque at the site after construction of the course was complete. The Independent revealed last year that Legacy Geelong members were concerned developers would destroy the five-metre-high pine. An arborist assessment revealed the tree would probably die if Legacy tried to moved it to an alternative location. Legacy Geelong’s John Burton praised Links Living’s decision to retain the tree. “We hoped nothing would happen to it,” Mr Burton said. “This is wonderful news and it’s great for Legacy.” Mr Burton said Legacy planted the tree in 1994 during the former golf club club’s centenary to remember the region’s war dead. The tree was a descendant of Australia’s first Lone Pine, which was planted at Warrnambool from a Gallipoli cone.

New advocate for region’s disabled Firing line: Shooters Andrew and Peter, who did not want their surnames published, take aim at Geelong Pistol Club. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 67275 The club counts a former world champion and two reigning Australian champions amongst its ranks. Club member Brian Kilpatrick was the first non-American to win the ISPC world championship. Anita Mackiewicz became Australian ladies champion during NRA world championships at Blacktown in October, while Suzy Soldini is the reigning ISPC Australian champion. The club also caters for Olympic and Commonwealth games-style pistol shooting events. “Because of the vast amount of

events, people tend to specialise in something they like,” John explained. The sport attracted people from all walks of life, from professionals to tradespeople along with an active junior rank. “The juniors are strongly supervised by parents,” John said. “In fact, all areas of the club are supervised. We are perhaps the most regulated sport in existence.” John said Victoria Police, government regulatory bodies and state and national pistol shooting bodies sanctioned all club activities.

“People can’t obtain an authority to compete or own a firearm unless they’re checked out first,” John said. “That means this sport is not for everyone and, quite frankly, we don’t seek to attract just anyone. The people who are here are involved because they enjoy the sport. “We don’t have a high membership but we do get new members coming through on a regular basis.” John said more information about the sport was available at ispcvic.org.au or by emailing gpcinc@dodo.com.au.

A REGIONAL Victoria organisation has taken over responsibility for advocating on behalf of people with disabilities in the Geelong area, according to the former advocacy service. Duncan Morris, the former chairman of Disability Rights and Advocacy Service (DRAS), said the organisation handed over its responsibilities at the start of the month after working for residents in City of Greater Geelong since 1986. Regional Information and Advocacy Council (RIAC) had taken on the job, he said. “RIAC is a larger, regionally based advocacy organisation which operates offices in Shepparton, Bendigo and Mildura and it is the view of the DRAS board that RIAC would provide an enhanced level of support to the residents of Geelong and also that it provides a better opportunity to increase the level of advocacy resources in Geelong.”

Tourism ‘study’ for road A $300,000 study will identify “infrastructure development opportunities” for tourism along the Great Ocean Road, according to a coalition of bodies funding the project. Great Ocean Road Marketing, Regional Development Australia and a working group operating under Federal Government’s National Long-Term

Tourism Strategy said the study would produce a “product gap analysis”. The “Great Ocean Road Tourism Destination Management Plan” would be complete by the end of the year. The plan would “identify actions and investment to develop tourism in the region for international and domestic markets”, the groups said.

LIBERAL Senator Michael Ronaldson claimed the carbon tax would “destroy industry in Geelong” (Independent, July 8). According to my dictionary, destroy means “to put an end to, to extinguish”. Is that really what the senator believes will happen? All industry in Geelong totally destroyed? It seems a bit unlikely. Exactly what will happen to any particular industry as a result of a carbon tax remains to be seen. No doubt some will become more profitable and some less so, which of course is the whole point. Those industries currently making excessive contributions to our growing burden of greenhouse gasses will be given an incentive to change the way they work. This can only be good for our long-term prospects. So it is a shame Senator Ronaldson is engaged in scare mongering when we should be engaging in a mature and open discussion about how to respond to the environmental and social pressures we may be bringing on ourselves. We need politicians who can leave shortterm party politics behind, see the bigger picture and engage with issues whose effects may not be fully felt for decades. Senator Ronaldson suggested that Richard Marles and Darren Cheeseman, who support the carbon tax, were “undeserving of their position as a elected members”. Personally, I think it is the senator who should be questioned about his fitness for leading us into the future. Chris Lampard Torquay

Quote unquoted I PROMISED myself a few weeks ago to no longer respond to letters from climate skeptics. There were two reasons for this. First, when I do answer their claims they resort to personal attacks. Second, responding gives them an opportunity to voice their views again, which only makes it harder for Australians to be united in the desire to preserve our

children’s future. However, I must respond to a letter in last week’s Independent by Alan Barron misquoting Tim Flannery as saying global warming poses no immediate threat to humanity or the planet. Professor Flannery has stated many times that global warming poses an enormous threat to humanity and the planet. The word immediate was cleverly and sneakily inserted by Mr Barron to put words into Prof Flannery’s mouth. This was one of several recent examples of Geelong climate sceptics deliberately misquoting Prof Flannery. Sceptics have a right to have their say yet I would call on the Independent to avoid printing outright lies, by Mr Barron. Once printed they are very hard to remove from the public consciousness. In an opinion column it is essential that what is printed is either honest opinion, factually correct or at least possibly correct. Mr Barron’s comment was none of the above and should not have been printed. Gavin Brown East Geelong

Life changes ALAN Barron’s Nostradamus-like predictions for the planet’s future are becoming ridiculous and narrow-minded. Clive Waurn’s suggestion that we should “reduce global population” (Letters, July 8) sounded ominous. It is already happening through wars, disease and natural attrition. Does Mr Waurn intend zero population growth or a one-child policy such as China enforces? Mr Barron’s proposition to spend equivalent funds, such as revenue from a carbon tax, on providing food, water, housing and education to the global poor would not create security but a population explosion, global conflict and unprecedented border disputes and territorial skirmishes. Forget the verisimilitude of anthropogenic climate change and look at the bigger” picture. Federal Government is using this paradigm as the vehicle to bring about change in our financial, industrial, economic, health and quality-of-life futures. There is uncertainty because it requires major per-

mutations in every sector. Isn’t it worth some effort and expense entailing infrastructure remodelling and technology shifts to provide a more sustainable and healthy future? I commend the Gillard Government for its insight and fortitude to proceed with these policies despite the bias from the opposition, the accusations of quasi-green dominance and suggestions of needless pain for the general community. Ralph Huisman Belmont

No tax mandate WHAT right has the Gillard Government got for its carbon tax policy? The Prime Minister says she has a mandate. Did she get a mandate from the voters to bring in this carbon tax policy at the election? No she did not. No such policy was taken to the election. Her policy was quite the reverse. Was her party victorious at the election? No it was not. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, mandate means: “Support of a policy or course of action, regarded by the victorious party, candidate, et cetera as derived from the wishes of the people in an election”. Does this Government meet these criteria? No it does not. And why such a rush to push this through? On something of such great importance surely it would be prudent to take more time to see that everything is done correctly for once. Too many things have been rushed through with many mistakes and a lot of taxpayers’ money wasted. The Prime Minister stated: “Judge me when everything is in place until people live it and see the whole package”. She must have been joking. It’s like the hangman saying to the condemned man: “Judge me when I have put the noose around your neck”. There should be a referendum on this tax to let the voters decide because the Government has lost not only the trust of the people but also its credibility. C Romeril Norlane

THE JULIA Gillard/Bob Brown Government’s carbon tax will not reduce the output of carbon. All it will do is raise taxes for Federal Government coffers. The companies taxed will add it to their business costs and the consumer will pay, increasing the cost of living for every Australian. This will not reduce carbon emissions because there is no incentive for business to reduce carbon output. It’s just another lie from this Government, run by the Greens to run the country into the ground. John Browne Grovedale

Crazy times JULY 10 will go down in infamy, just like Pearl Harbour. The carbon tax, with its price of $23 per tonne, is about the dumbest idea this incompetent Gillard Government could come up with. The tax may placate the hordes of bleeding heart socialists and tree huggers but the rest of us will lose big time. All it will do is lower our standard of living and send a wrecking ball through the economy by exporting jobs and wealth. The Gillard Government might just as well believe in the Tooth Fairy and give us all 50 cents next time we loose a tooth. The real kicker is that the planet is cooling and temperatures will continue to do so for the next decade. In 90 years, when historians revisit the past decade, they will rightly conclude that in the first part of the 21st Century this nation was governed by buffoons and ignorant types who had no idea how to address complex issues and who were prepared to sacrifice the welfare and interests of the entire nation for a mess of porridge dubbed the carbon tax. Whom the gods want to destroy, they first make crazy. Alan Barron Grovedale

Farrell furore reflects on critics REGARDING the recent brouhaha over Cr Jan Farrell’s giving character evidence in a court case (Independent, June 1, 8), I wonder why some persons are attacking her integrity Do they think someone who has knowledge of the previous good character of a person before a court would be acting properly if they deliberately and knowingly denied that information to the court? If they do they are hardly in a position to criticise someone else’s integrity.

A mega-mess AFTER reading the June 1 Independent story headlined ‘Mothers’ plea for Corio education’, I wondered why more funding was required to teach what should be normal teaching. The story failed to point out that education in Victoria has been failing all Victorian children since the beginning of the 1980s.

WE WRITE in response to L Howell’s letter to the editor in last week’s Independent. As the leading provider of the TAE Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, offering a very earthed and practical program, we were concerned to read that L Howell believes the qualification to be irrelevant and unnecessary in enabling the delivery of quality training and assessment programs. We understand the frustration L Howell feels in relation to his extensive motorcycle riding experience not being validated and the statement in the letter: “I have to spend a fair chunk of the year and nearly $2000 on probably the most irrelevant academic training”. Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is a vocational course aiming not to teach students what they already know but rather to give guidance on how best to train and assess others in a structured way. The certificate was initiated nearly two decades ago by the National Training Reform Agenda to ensure consistency and quality of delivery of training programs and to weed out rogues. The reform agenda also stated that training should be relevant, flexible and competency based. We work hard to ensure our programs are practical and provide individuals with skills, knowledge and confidence. With regards to the cost of the course, the fee varies among providers, as does the delivery model. We invite L Howell to join one of our programs, which will be tailored to meet his specific needs. Lynette Petersen and the Certificate IV training team Lynette Petersen and the training team LP Communications, Geelong

We have seen open classrooms, mega-rooms filled with computers, all the latest so-called innovative teaching models, tried and failed methods from overseas and now mega-schools. We now have large, open classrooms running programs called Investigation, in which students teach themselves or in which one student is called a leader to teach the others, even in grade one. In some schools this is in first two hours of teaching time.

Foam furphy I HAVE been contacted by a Geelong ratepayer querying the statement: “Polystyrene foam is not recyclable”, which was printed in City of Greater Geelong’s recycling and rubbish advertisement in last week’s Independent. While the City may not want the responsibility of recycling polystyrene foam, it is important to note that polystyrene foam is 100 per cent recyclable. As a responsible industry, Expanded Polystyrene Australia (EPSA) has established recycling centres across Australia and recycled polystyrene is used in a number of applications for replacing and conserving plastics. If Geelong ratepayers do as advised in the advertisement and place polystyrene foam “in the red bin” then the polystyrene ends up as landfill and does not break down. I have also written to council on this issue and, as an environmentally responsible entity, the City could do much more to enhance our environment and prevent polystyrene ending up as landfill through community education as well as collection and recycling of polystyrene foam. As a responsible industry, EPSA is willing to work with City of Greater Geelong to significantly improve recycling of polystyrene. Brendan Blomeley Expanded Polystyrene Australia executive director

Clearly, a responsible person would make a statement to the court in these circumstances. Of course, it would be absurd and irresponsible if while making such a statement they hid from the court the fact they held a given public office because this would only hinder the court in its evaluation of the evidence. Rather than investigate Cr Farrell, I would look carefully at her detractors. Owen Courtis Geelong West Jan Farrell

Parents and students have a right to be angry and feel abandoned, as the story showed they have done everything except write to the secretary of the education department. If that fails then they should ask the ombudsman to invest why teachers are failing students, whey the teachers are failing and why there’s a need for more funding. Can’t teachers teach any more? Are they so busy networking with other teachers that they have lost the plot? The Labor Government created the mega-school and mega-room mess, so Member for Lara John Eren should explain the advantages of mega-schools and mega-classes because the Independent story showed they are already failing students. Schools have plenty of money, they just do not spend it wisely on students’ best interests. Lynette M Hughes Corio

Sooth Sayer BY ERIN PEARSON JULIA Gillard and Barrack Obama should be rock and roll managers, according to international pop music icon Leo Sayer. The award-winning artist drew parallels between politics and music while speaking with the Independent ahead of his show in Geelong next week. “Politics is exactly the same as the music business,” Sayer mused. “From Obama to Gillard, they could all be great rock and roll managers because they’re incredibly good at selling something that’s a lie.” Sayer said the Geelong gig was one stop on his “heck of a schedule” while touring regional Australia. “I’m 63 years old and have never worked so much in my whole life,” he laughed. “My routing across Australia isn’t totally cohesive. You can’t plan a tour like we used to but that’s the risk I take for wanting to go to the country. “Having driven through Geelong so many times to Lorne for corporate shows or something else, I really wanted to do some normal gigs - here I come.” Sayer promised his fans a “true” experience in Geelong. He believed onstage trickery was replacing talent among too many contemporary performers. “Unfortunately, the result is coming up quite mediocre,” Sayer

Corio country coup BY ERIN PEARSON CORIO will become a hub of country music next month when two of Australia’s most-decorated stars perform an array of hits. Country music veteran James Blundell and 2009 Country Music Female Artist of the Year Catherine Britt have banded together to “rock the house” at Gateway Hotel. Blundell said their Can’t Find Our Way Home Tour would bridge the gap between country and popular music. “People are interested in seeing where country music is going and I think Australian

country musicians are finally finding their feet and clinging to their own individuality more than ever before,” he said. “Country music is no longer the country cousin of real music – country artists are selling the most albums in Australia.” Blundell said the pair was also looking forward to connecting with fans both old and new around the country. “Catherine’s been far more aware of social media and the way it’s an important part of your public persona, so it’ll be interesting to see what she pulls out of the woodwork in terms of the audience she brings,” he

laughed. “Personally, I love that I get a lot of people in their late teens to early 20s come and say they came to see me when they were eight when their parents dragged them along. “Country music appeals to so many generations, so it’s quite a compliment.” Blundell, who’s just released his 10th studio album, has won credit for turning a younger demographic of Australians onto country music Britt has recorded with Elton John, Shane Nicholson, Kasey Chambers, Paul Kelly and Kenny Chesney.

Blundell said the pair wanted to highlight their songwriting skills. “Catherine is that very rare creature: a genuine female troubadour,” he said. “In her few short years on the planet she’s seen the highs and lows of life and music and they flow effortlessly from her as well-crafted, compelling, honest songs. “These dates together are set to be a lot of fun and, who knows, we might even get a song or two out of it.” James Blundell and Catherine Britt will be at Gateway Hotel on August 4.

tions. The upgrades, which will feature chandeliers and pressed-metal ceilings, are almost complete. Owner Kylee Clasper says patrons can still visit The Black Hatt to enjoy bands, duos and solo musicians every second and third Sunday and cover bands every Friday night. “We’re 60 per cent renovated and even at this stage you won’t see any thing like this in Geelong,” Kylee says. “By the end of the year we’ll have our kitchen opened, which hasn’t operated for the past 18 years, to offer breakfast lunch and dinner. “The new ladies’ toilets have been opened, with a full-length, antique mirror and we’re also now in the process of introducing our merchandise and packaged beer under the Black Hatt label.” Saturday nights feature The Black Hatt’s famous mechanical bull, which Kylee says is perfect for any occasion. “People can come down and use the bull on their hen’s nights, buck’s nights and even as a challenge between workmates.” The Black Hatt is open from 8am seven days a week over winter and from 7am during the warmer months. More information is available by phoning the hotel on 5221 4469 or visiting it at 54 Little Myers Street, Geelong.

Save now with solar ow is the time to act for anyone thinking about installing a clean, efficient solar energy system, according to City to Surf Solar’s Emma Pritchett. Emma says good value rebates and tariffs are available for residential and business solar installations. “Some people thought the rebates were disappearing but that’s not so. There are still rebates available, even though they reduced on July 1,” Emma says. “The Federal Government still contributes on average 25 per cent of the cost of a system, depending on capacity. That represents a significant saving on the cost of supplying and installing a solar system. “More importantly, State Government is still offering a premium feed-in tariff of over 60 cents per kWh for excess power fed back into the grid.” Emma says State Government has placed a cap on the premium

Get in on time and you qualify for a 13-year term, wait too long and you will miss out.” Emma says solar energy offers a solution to rising power bills as well as helping families and businesses

reduce their carbon footprints. City to Surf Solar is a local family owned company specialising in solar installations, offering personalised service with short lead times for the past three years.

water-heating energy consumption by up to 50 to 75 per cent. This will not only decrease your household’s harmful CO² emissions but can also lower your power bills. “From 2012 Federal Government plans to phase out electric water heaters, which means households needing to replace electric hot water systems will have to install environmentally friendly alternatives, making now the perfect time to go solar.” “The Government offers generous rebates to eligible home-owners who swap electric water heaters for solar systems but the incentives won’t be around forever, so consumers must get in quick.

Between 73 and 87 per cent of the 1200 respondents said they would rein in their spending on takeaway food, furniture, electrical goods, holidays and clothing. Damian McCormack, dealer principle at Solahart /Climatic Air Conditioning Geelong, warns a national carbon tax will cause even greater financial strain on Australian families. “Households, particularly those with children, are feeling the pressure of increasing power prices and are looking for ways to cover the costs,” he says.

The electric motor chips in with power during acceleration and sometimes while cruising as well as capturing energy from the vehicle’s momentum during braking. Rated fuel consumption is 4.6 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined Australian driving cycle, although the best we achieved during our review was 5.1 L/100 km. Electric power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering provides smooth feedback from the road, while anti-skid brakes with electronic brake force distribution ensures firm yet linear braking. Push a green (what other colour would it be?) button on the dashboard and a small forest of trees sprout on the display screen and lose their leaves according to how much fuel is being used and pollution emitted. Stop the Insight at the lights or a road junction and . . . silence! Power is automatically shut down to help save fuel. Selecting Sport mode appears to make little difference to how the car responds (maybe it needs more urging) and steering wheel-mounted shift paddles seem over the top. The Insight is at its best in stop-start city driving, the bonus being constant braking topping up the battery when the car slows and/or brakes. Though aimed at city driving, where a hybrid makes the most sense, Honda Insight is capable enough on the open road. Honda is keen to keep the price of the Insight down while reducing fuel use and emissions, rather than to go all out for a pure economy machine as Toyota has done with its Prius. The $29,990 Insight VTi hybrid costs about $10,000 less than the Toyota Prius. A decade ago Honda introduced the first ever mass production hybrids to Australia and has big ambitions for this fuel saving technology in coming years.

BY ERIC BLAIR oyota Prius is the vehicle that springs into most people’s minds when the subject of petrol/electric hybrid cars comes up, but in fact Honda Insight was the first hybrid to go on sale in Australia, arriving here in March 2001, six months prior to the release of the Prius. That original Insight was a twoseater with a way-out shape and quickly fell behind the more conventionally styled, four-seat Prius and dropped out of the local market midway through 2004 when it was replaced by the more mainstream Civic Hybrid. Honda Insight is now back and looking to become a serious Prius rival having gone upscale in a vehicle that’s packed with innovation, and at an affordable price. It’s a small-medium five-door hatchback and not all aerodynamic aids are immediately obvious. A small 1.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine is coupled with an electric motor, positioned between the engine and the continuously variable transmission.

ow-impact collisions typical in shopping centre car parks are annoying to say the least. Add to this the fact that people rarely own up to damaging other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cars. It has been noticed that drivers are often scared to back up any further due to very limited vision. These are the occasions where reverse sensors are very welcome. Bumper Master fits reversing sensors to help customers overcome fears of backing into objects or even pedestrians. Reversing sensors help prevent damage to ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cars as well as the vehicles of neighbours and other motorists. They can also help when backing out of tight garages and past narrow gateposts. Bumper Master can also help owners improve the appearance of bumpers when selling vehicles. Bumpers are the first part of any car to incur damage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and first impressions are important when trying to sell. All Bumper Master repairs come with a no-questions-asked warranty to give customers peace of mind. Best of all, most bumper repairs are done for less than the cost of insurance excesses. Located behind VicRoads at 3 Dowsett Street, South Geelong, Bumper Master has proven experience in providing an alternative repair service to bumper regions of any car. Owners wanting to improve the resale value of their cars should phone Bumper Master on 5221 0138.

SOLD Ripping: Jan Juc’s Cody Robinson in action at the championships.

Robinson claims Gromfest title JAN JUC teenage surfer Cody Robinson won a Rusty Gromfest under-14 event in New South Wales. Robinson dominated the final at Lennox Head to clinch the biggest win of his career, locking in an 8.5 and a mid-range sixpoint wave to overpower his opponents. The youngster finished ahead of Kalani Ball, of Stanwell Park, and Yamba’s Jeames Young in second and third respectively.

Robinson told organisers he was rapt with his result. “I started slow and then found two pretty good ones. I’m so happy to have won, it’s such a confidence boost.” Lennox Head’s Michael Wright and Kirstin Ogden, of Suffolk Park, were crowned under-16 boys and under-16 girls Gromfest champions. Organisers said the pair dominated their finals from start to finish using local knowledge of the

tricky beach break conditions to win. Barwon Heads’ Billy Harrison finished fourth in the under-12s. Organisers said Lennox Head delivered consistent and challenging conditions. “Surfers were forced to utilise the best of their ocean skills to negotiate the surf.” Robinson joins the Gromfest trophy list alongside past winners Mick Fanning and Stephanie Gilmore.

sport Lakes get busy as anglers seek refuge from region’s rough weather On the bite

Chubby: John Mole with a fat rainbow trout from Lake Tooliorook.

BRIAN LONG ROUGH weather made fishing difficult over the past week although hardy anglers still managed some nice captures. Most of the best reports came from anglers bunkered down at one of the many local lakes where high water levels have produced resurgent trout numbers. West Barwon Reservoir returned fish to 1.5kg on baits such as worms and mudeye, while lure anglers found that small, suspending minnow patterns were best. Most anglers fished the main wall but anyone prepared to make the trek into the marsh at the top left hand corner of the lake had generally better results, particularly on lure. Hepburn Lagoon lived up to its reputation as a fly location when Peter Forbes landed eight nice rainbow trout on a Woolly Bugger pattern. Peter said lure anglers fishing close by also landed reasonable numbers of fish. The wind direction was less than ideal for Lismore’s Lake Tooliorook but anglers enjoyed great fishing when the breeze settled, with rainbows just under 1kg common. Powerbait fished on running rigs was successful but anglers casting small, bibbed lures such as Lil Rippers clearly enjoyed the best results. John Mole was one of many to harass the lake for great

success on lures. Lake Elingamite produced exceptional fishing, with Harry Sharp landing four nice brown trout from around 1.5kg to 2kg while slow trolling from his Hobie. Shore-based anglers landed rainbows at Lake Bullen Merri where Powerbait was the most productive bait. Lake Purrumbete also hosted trolling anglers but many reported that the fish were holding around 7m to 9m down, requiring the use of downriggers or similar.

Lara’s on the line for Saints

Curlewis Golf Club Give Golf a Go Program

GEELONG Football League plays only one game this weekend, with Lara hosting St Mary’s out at the snake pit. Lara’s season is effectively over as far as finals are concerned because it’s eight points outside the top five. Coach Ben Harris has been re-appointed for next season and will use the rest of the year to develop his youngsters into an organised outfit for next season. St Mary’s is a different kettle of fish, with the chance of making finals as an ageing outfit. The likes of Tom Gilligan, Nick Hosking and Bryce Vincent have served the side well and won a premiership along the way but this year is the last roll of the dice for the nucleus of the side. The Saints sit in sixth spot on the ladder equal on points with fifth placed Colac but with a poorer percentage. It will be a race between Colac and St Mary’s to take fifth spot, as the other sides have dropped out of the race. Last week Lara was humiliated by the previously winless St Albans while the Saints showed a bit of form in beating Grovedale. Don’t expect Lara to play as bad again but St Mary’s has too much on the line to drop this one. The remaining games of this round will be played next weekend.

Lake Eildon may be a little far away from Geelong but is well-worth making the effort to fish. Trolling over the weekend produced good numbers of rainbow trout averaging over 1kg. The best fish reported was taken by Fred Manning on a Tassie Devil in the pink colour and weighing 3.6kg, taken directly out from the overflow wall. Corio Bay offered some protection from the wind, with anglers prepared to fish the night shift catching snapper to over 6kg.

Terry Bartlett made a trip down from Shepparton and went home with a story to tell after spending nine hours on the water for three fish over 5kg each. Shaun Knott landed two nice snapper of 3.1kg and 3.6kg while fishing land-based from the rocks at North Shore. Drago Perin also found success with a beauty of 5.4kg. Bird Rock remained a standout snapper hot spot. It’s a bit of a walk but well worth the effort, especially during the full-moon period. Soft plastics angler Paul Wallis found snotty trevalla under the boats moored at Fisherman’s Pier. Casting turtleback worms in the Pumpkin Green colour he landed a dozen or so in a couple of hours while also losing a nice snapper too big to lift on his light tackle. Squid and whiting reports were limited due to strong winds discolouring the water, which should change this weekend. Point Lonsdale Pier offered some clean water to be one of the few destinations to produce salmon. Most were under 1kg but the lucky few nailed the odd fish to 2kg, with lures providing the best action on the run-in tide. Justin Ware and his brother Daniel fished at Anglesea to land an absolute ripper salmon of 63cm and 3.2kg. They don’t get much bigger than that. Queenscliff cut yielded a few silver trevally on soft plastics although most fish were taken after dark. Turtleback worms and curl-tail grubs accounted for most of the fish. A couple of weeks ago I reported on the whiting success of four-year-old Harrison Vick. Well, the young fellow has been back out again, this time catching over 70 salmon while fishing with his parents on the Barwon River estuary. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Avenue, Manifold Heights.

Drysdale’s season is on the line this weekend, with the Hawks having to beat Anglesea at Alcoa Oval to keep their slim finals hopes alive. The Hawks have won the past two premierships and their fall from power has been sudden. It’s not a lack of hunger that beset the side but more a case of retirements leading to a much younger, inexperienced side taking the field. These youngsters are the product of a great junior division that the club has in place and one day it will reap the benefits. Anglesea is finals-bound but has slipped off the pace a bit over the past month. Earlier in the season it was the pacesetter and premiership favourite and this is this kind of form it has to regain in the lead up to the finals. Drysdale is no easy beat and, with a glimmer of finals action on the horizon, will try its best but it

Local Footy FRANK MASON will be the Roos who take the points. Other selections: OCEAN GROVE v Newcomb, Portarlington v MODEWARRE, QUEENSCLIFF v Barwon Heads, Torquay v AMATEURS.

GDFL Thomson is making a late charge for Geelong and District League finals, with a string of good performances placing it in sixth place and only one game outside the five. This weekend it hosts Inverleigh, which is one of the two sides only one game ahead of Thomson on the ladder. Coach Christian Hyland would be happy with the way his side has settled into a competitive unit after a poor opening few games of the year. Recruits like Russell Grigg and Sam Farnsworth took a while to get used to their new environment but the wait has been worthwhile because they are playing good football. Inverleigh has had a topsy-turvy few weeks, with an outstanding performance against Bell Post Hill a fortnight ago followed by a shellacking at the hands of East Geelong last Saturday. Which is the true Inverleigh? We may find out this weekend because it will have to show fair bit of fight to win this one given Thomson’s season is on the line. Expect Inverleigh to step up to the plate and record a hard-fought victory. Other selections: ANAKIE v Belmont Lions, WERRIBEE CENTRALS v Winchelsea, NORTH GEELONG v Bannockburn, Corio v EAST GEELONG, Geelong West v BELL POST HILL.
