2008 preferences ‘set to return’ Humphrey Outspoken ex-councillor predicts win on recount

BY ERIN PEARSON FORMER Torquay councillor Ron Humphrey believes he is poised to return to council after Winchelsea’s Lindsay Schroeter announced his retirement.

Mr Humphrey said he was confident of taking over from Mr Schroeter this month when Victorian Electoral Commission redistributed his votes from the 2008 council election.

Mr Humphrey expected to earn his place on council because Mr Schroeter had directed preferences to him ahead of any other unsuccessful 2008 candidate.

The electoral commission will run a count-back of Mr Schroeter’s votes to decide his replacement instead of a byelection because Surf Coast councillors are elected on a regional basis rather than in wards.

“What happens now is all Lindsay’s votes gets pulled out electronically and reallocated to the five candidates who didn’t get in last time. Whoever’s the first to get to 51 per cent is the successful candidate,” Mr Humphrey said.

“Judging by Lindsay’s preferences, I’m the first preference.”

Mr Humphrey finished 12th with 706 primary votes in the 2008 vote for nine places on Surf Coast’s council.

Airey’s Inlet’s Michael Lewis finished 10th with 797 primary votes and Anglesea’s Garry Kerr was 11th with 731.

Mr Humphrey expected to win enough of Mr Schroeter’s preferences to overtake Mr Lewis and Mr Kerr.

Mr Humphrey pledged to “take off where Lindsay left” if his calculations were correct.

“Lindsay had a strong, loyal bunch of people in the electorate who supported him for decades going back to the days when he was on the old Winchelsea council,” Mr Humphrey said.

“Lindsay has the view that council needs to get out there into the backblocks of the shire a bit more, especially around the Winchelsea, Lorne and Freshwater Creek areas.”

Mr Humphrey made headlines for fiery clashes with colleagues while serving as an outspoken councillor from 2004 to 2008.

He has vowed to hold out an olive branch if returned to council.

“I’m really keen to offer my help to all the current councillors in any areas where they would like help. I think I can contribute a bit in terms of governance and helping with policy direction.”

Mr Humphrey said he had quit the Liberal party since losing at the 2008 election.

He would serve a two-year term if he earned re-election, with next council elections in November, 2012.

The recount has been set for 5pm on September 23 at Surf Coast Shire’s Torquay offices.

Mr Schroeter, who announced his retirement in last week’s Independent, said he hoped his replacement would continue to fight for Winchelsea residents.

Here’s the tip: Chicken wins holiday

BY ANDREW MATHIESON GEELONG radio personality Paul ‘Chicken’ Dyer knows all about redemption in the football world.

Last year he frittered away a lead entering the last week of the Independent’s Tip-Stars competition.

But 12 months later the K-Rock breakfast star’s consistent performance was rewarded with six correct tips in an unpredictable round 22 to win the 2010 TipStars.

Chicken finished with 120 tips – three less than what earned him

second in 2009. “I was leading in round 21 last year but I folded like a cheap suit,� he said. “It was similar again this year when it came down to that last round of tips.�

Chicken revealed the secret of his success as keeping emotion out of tipping decisions.

Car dealer Frank Burge finished second with 119, while The Groove Train’s Jessie Jones was third on 117 after a count-back from Buxton Real Estate’s Ben Riddle.

Chicken won airfares and

accommodation for two on the Gold Coast for five nights. “Mrs Chook is very happy,� he said. “She was putting me under a bit of pressure the last couple of weeks to bring home the bacon because I don’t take her away very often.�

Chicken, a keen surfer, laughed off suggestions he could use the second airfare ticket to take a surfboard instead. “I’m pretty sure I’ll down luggage to get the boards in. I don’t need clothes – just a pair of boardies and a board,� he said.

Labor claims historic Corangamite victory

in brief

BY KIM WATERS LABOR’S Darren Cheeseman has claimed victory in the federal seat of Corangamite with more than 3000 votes left to count.

His spokesperson said Mr Cheeseman was preparing to “work like hell” after one of the tightest election contests in the country.

Liberal candidate Sarah Henderson now faced an “impossible” task of snatching the seat from Mr Cheeseman’s lead of more than 700 votes.

“She would have to get something like over 70 per cent of the votes left and that’s never been done in history,” the spokesperson said.

He credited Labor’s “hand-to-hand combat” campaign style for winning Corangamite.

“When we were elected (in 2007) Darren said the only way to hold onto this seat was to act like we had a 900-

A NEW mediation service trying to settle disputes between neighbours recorded 664 calls in the Geelong are during the past financial year, according to Victorian Attorney-General Rob Hulls.

He said Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria referred 133 Geelong disputes to mediation and ran 30 sessions to broker deals between warring neighbours.

Redraw ‘to favour’ Libs

BY ANDREW MATHIESON A PROPOSED redraw of electoral boundaries would help the Liberals’ bid to reclaim Corangamite at the next federal election, according to a politics expert.

Deakin politics Professor Geoffrey Robinson said Labor incumbent Darren Cheeseman would need a “significant” swing in his favour to win a third election.

The electoral redistribution taking Queenscliff and Ocean Grove

out of Corangamite and into the safe ALP seat of Corio was “actually quite bad news for Labor”, Prof Robinson said.

“It’s pushing Corangamite further to the west into very safe Liberal areas around Camperdown.

If you look the voting this time, Labor’s vote was up in the Geelong parts of the seat, including areas in which Labor is losing, and actually fell in some parts of the rural part of the seat.”

day campaign and to treat every single day as though there was an election on the weekend.

“Darren has worked like he’s had a fire in his breeches.”

The spokesperson said Mr

Cheeseman had become the first Labor MP re-elected in Corangamite.

Deakin politics professor Geoffrey Robinson said Mr Cheeseman had “definitely” won the seat.

“Although the continuing counting

of postal votes has closed the gap a bit, and that’s a reflection that the Liberal have done well in the postals just like they did in 2007, but just like 2007 it won’t be enough to close the gap again,” he said.

Ms Henderson refused to concede defeat, arguing a Liberal victory was “still mathematically possible”.

“While it appears the Mr Cheeseman will hold the seat, the outcome will not be known until the last couple of thousand votes are counted,” she said.

“There has been a small swing to us.

I am particularly uplifted by our strong primary vote, which is currently at 45.02 per cent compared with Labor’s primary vote of 39.57 per cent.”

An Australian Electoral Commission spokesperson said counting would “probably” resume this Friday after going on hold since Wednesday.

Hero acknowledged for saving life with quick CPR

BY ERIN PEARSON MEDICAL staff and a heart attack victim have reunited in Geelong to thank a good Samaritan for saving his life.

Sixty-year-old Des Wilson collapsed with cardiac arrest on his front lawn last month but was lucky to have 22-yearold Bradley Hopwood nearby.

Representatives of Ambulance Victoria and Barwon Health joined Mr Wilson and Mr Hopwood on Wednesday to praise him for stepping outside his “comfort zone”.

Geelong paramedic Scott McCullough was on the scene in minutes but said Mr Wilson would have died without Mr Hopwood’s help.

“Bradley saved Des’s life.

He had collapsed and Brad went in to commence CPR,” Mr McCullough said.

“If you give someone CPR you’re extending that time when we can then come in and essentially defibrillate and offer advanced life support.

“About 55 per cent of (cardiac arrest victims) get CPR and 45 per cent don’t, so that’s 45 per cent straight away who die or suffer injury to the brain.”

Mr Wilson said he had driven home from work feeling unwell on the day of his attack.

“It’s overwhelming - I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Brad,” he said.

“I had a heart attack and I was dead for four minutes.”

Mr Wilson started rehabilitation on Wednesday after two weeks in hospital and bed rest.

Mr Hopwood said he saw Mr Wilson collapse in Jamison Street, Thompson, after leaving a TAFE course early.

The roof plumber had completed a workplace CPR course 12 months earlier.

“I heard Des hit the pavement pretty hard and turned around,” Mr Hopwood remembered.

“You only have to do a small thing to make a massive difference to someone’s life.

“We’ll be lifelong friends.”

Acting clinical support officer Anthony Taylor, this week, presented Mr Hopwood with a letter and certificate of commendation before thanking him as “a health service person and as a member of the community”.

“It’s the community looking after itself (that) then enables us to come out and work with patients that are viable,” Mr Taylor said.

“We’re trying to show people that the simple thing of CPR has this great outcome.

“Brad did a wonderful thing.”

Restrictions eased HOUSEHOLDERS will be able to water gardens with trigger nozzles and wash cars with buckets at any time after State Government announced an easing of restrictions in the Geelong region.

Premier John Brumby said the downgrading to stage two restrictions was a “fantastic day” for the community, which would never go back to stage three thanks to various water projects underway.

Disputes settled

Rail changes V/LINE has urged Geelong passengers to check new timetables amid changes to align its trains with the services of Melbourne suburban operator Metro.

A spokesperson for V/Line said most of the changes in departure and arrival times were “reasonably small” but knowing times were changing was essential for rail travellers.

Breakwater start WORK has started on a $63 million project to realign Breakwater Road, requiring compulsory acquisition of six homes.

Roads and Ports Minister Tim Pallas officially launched the work, saying the project would improve safety and traffic flow, reduce travel times and help protect the road from flooding.

Broadcasts begin A COMMUNITY radio station has begun broadcasting at Apollo Bay. The operator of OCRFM 88.7, Bryan Dwyer, said the station would broadcast as far as Winchelsea in conjunction with Colac 98.3.

Myspace win GEELONG has beaten Ballarat in a MySpace competition to host a “secret show” of English heavy metal band Bring Me The Horizon, according to a spokesperson for the social networking site.

The spokesperson said Geelong accounted for 60 per cent of 2579 votes on which city should host the band next Wednesday at a venue yet to be disclosed.

Crash reporting VICTORIA Police is trialing a new procedure for reporting crashes in the Geelong and Ballarat regions during September.

A spokesperson said under the pilot program drivers would only to report crashes to police if anyone was injured, in cases when the owner of property damaged was not present or unknown and when accidents were hit-and-runs with damage caused but details were not exchanged.

Faster broadband THE WORLD’S fastest national mobile broadband service is now available in Geelong, according to Telstra Country Wide.

Geelong and Surf Coast general manager Jodie Manion said the national launch of the company’s Ultimate USB modem offered download speeds up to 20Mbps, or twice as fast as Testra’s Next G product.

Climate forum Life saver: Bradley Hopwood with his commendation and, from left, Scott McCullough, Des Wilson and Anthony Taylor.

PUBLIC servants will try describing how oceanic weather patterns affect Victoria’s climate in a forum next week at Balliang, north of Geelong.

A Department of Primary Industries spokesperson said the AgFutures forum would focus on “understanding climate variability) and soil biology” to help farmers make decisions.

A WAURN Ponds woman has turned a division four TattsLotto prize into a million-dollar windfall.

Tatts said the woman, in her 50s, won firstdivision in a mid-week draw after the smaller windfall the previous Saturday night.

“I checked the internet and it said I was a division-one winner but I just couldn’t believe it,” said the woman, who Tatts did not identify.

“I kept coming up with other possibilities, like I only had five numbers and a supplementary or that I’d won $100,000 instead of $1 million.”

48 Mercer St, Geelong • Ph 5242 8057 • Fax 5242 8514

BY ANDREW MATHIESON WORK ON a second rail track behind homes at Bell Post Hill has angered residents, according to their spokesperson.

Franceska Dezelak said the track was disturbing the residents even before the first train travelled on the new line.

Early-morning construction and new concrete sleepers were making their lives “unbearable”, she said.

Ms Dezelak has garnered support from Rushden Close and Leila Crescent residents for a petition demanding Australian Rail Track Corporation take immediate action.

They want cushioning between concrete sleepers and the track, a high fence, planting of native trees and filters on all diesel engines to dampen noise.

Ms Dezelak said the noise from concrete slabs replacing wooden

sleepers on an established line was “absolutely dreadful”.

“The concrete sleepers are so noisy and vibrating. An empty train already gives off so much noise but a heavy one is just boom, boom, boom – it’s just absolutely dreadful,” she said.

“Now we’re going to have two train lines, so we’re going to get more and more trains.

“It’s causing an increase in house vibrations and loss of quality of life.”

Ms Dezelak said engineers rejected suggestions to put rubber over the sleepers because it would wear out too quickly.

Residents received letters warning that work on the new track between Gheringhap and North Geelong would begin this week but the noisy construction actually started early last month, she said.

“They just started digging up

one day and I didn’t know what was happening.”

Ms Dezelak said the work woke nearby residents as early as 7.30am six days a week for up to 10 hours.

The rail project followed residents battling construction noise for two years during development of Geelong’s bypass.

Australian Rail Track Corporation did not return the Independent’s calls for comment.

In the letter to residents, rail authorities said the project was essential to reduce travel times to the Port of Geelong.

The letter told residents that informal gardens at the back of homes “will be cleared” to make way for works.

“It is suggested that residents remove any items located in the rail reserve (i.e plants, pots, outdoor furniture) before construction starts.”

The Independent, Friday September 3, 2010.

Study ‘hope’ in cancer battle cles as well as in the heart muscle and we’re now looking at antioxidants to decrease the level of free radicals.

“That’s a real advantage because the treatment would mean people who are suffering from cancer cachexia would have more time to respond to treatment.”

Dr Lewandowski said the absence of effective treatment for cachexia inhibited the success of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

The condition was particularly dangerous for elderly cancer victims because it caused “serious weight loss and muscle wastage”, he said.

Around 50 per cent of cancer patients developed the condition.

“One in three of us will develop cancer, so one in six Australians will suffer from the condition,” Dr Lewandowksi he said.

“Approximately 20 per cent of cancer deaths are thought to be due to cachexia and not the cancer itself.

“This could buy time for other cancer therapies to have an effect.”

Dr Lewandowski’s team also includes Deakin PhD students Eddie Hinch and Vanessa Vaughan, postdoctoral fellow Melanie Sullivan-Gunn and Barwon Health regional director of palliative care associate professor Peter Martin.

The kinder had only $30,000 from City of Greater Geelong for concept plans, she said.

“The quotes from council to build a new two-room kinder are $3.5 million and a children’s hub is $5.5 million but to apply for the $1 million State Government funding you need to first show you have the remainder.”

Ward councillor Andy Richards promised to help.

“If I can get my fellow councillors to agree, and hopefully they will, we’d be in a position to sell the land the kinder sits on in Clifford Parade and put that money toward a new kindergarten at Barwon Heads Primary school,” he said.

Cr Richards said the City needed five to 10 new kindergartens or children’s hubs in the next five to 10 years at Leopold, Grovedale, Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Lara and in Geelong’s northern suburbs.

401121-JM10-10

BY ERIN PEARSON A “LAST-DITCH” meeting has failed to save Barwon Heads three-year-old kinder places, with the facility forced to slash half its 2011 enrolments.

Barwon Heads Kinder futures committee coordinator Anissa Yttrup said neither major political party had agreed to provide funding for a facilities upgrade to accommodate extra children.

Ms Yttrup said parents now had to search in Queenscliff or Geelong for classes, with none available in neighbouring Ocean Grove.

“Thirty people have missed out. If kids don’t get classes here they more than likely won’t get the opportunity to do it at all.”

Ms Yttrup said accessing funding was “near impossible” despite State Government allocating $210 million for kinder upgrades.

Testing times: Dr Paul Lewandowski inspects one of the treatments showing promise for treating an often-fatal cancer symptom.

422293-JF35-10

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG researchers are close to developing treatments for a muscle-wasting condition killing one in five cancer victims, according to their team leader.

Deakin University’s Dr Paul Lewandowski said the world-first study was investigating the effect on two already-available therapies on the condition, called cancer cachexia.

The team believed the therapies, based on an omega 3 fatty acid and an anti-gout medication, could delay the onset of cachexia in cancer patients, Dr Lewandowski said.

He described the condition was “a serious, debilitating and oftenunrecognised health issue” that was often fatal.

“Many of us have watched a loved one waste away because of cancer. Our hope is that the treatment we are working on will delay the onset of cachexia or slow down its progression.”

Dr Lewandowski said a pre-study had already returned “promising” results.

“We’ve been working on this for the past three years doing two things: setting up models and trying to understand what happens at a cellular level,” he said.

“We have data that shows there is an increase in free radicals in skeletal mus-

Good lord, what a downpour!

Even the most confirmed atheist has reason to give thanks for the region’s great rains last month.

The heavy August rains increased catchment totals to over 56 per cent of capacity, with a rise of six per cent in the last week of the month alone.

This is better than at any time since 2005 and has triggered a flood warning for the upper reaches of the Barwon River.

For those who study modelbased output, it was instructive to note the failure of the Bureau of Meteorology’s thee-monthly probability outlook, which predicted only a 30 to 35 per cent chance of average winter rain for this region.

The most spectacular result was at Weeaproinah in the Otways, which recorded 575mm

Under the weather LINDSAY SMAIL in August to eclipse the previous high for the month of 472mm way back in 1939 and providing in four weeks what Geelong usually takes more than a full year to accumulate. The figures go back to 1901.

In this La Nina year this is a significant event. Weeaproinah also broke its all-time monthly record of 538mm, set in June, 1952.

Interesting results for all of winter included: Weeaproinah,

899mm compared to an average 674mm; West Barwon Reservoir 432mm, 410mm; Apollo Bay 433mm, 351 mm; Airey’s Inlet 233mm, 221mm; Geelong Airport-Mt Duneed 148mm, 140mm; Waurn Ponds 153mm, 134mm; Bell Post Hill 167mm, 144mm; Barwon Heads 216mm, 179mm; Leopold 198mm, 160mm; Bellbrae 220mm, 184mm; Lara 100mm, 115mm; and Anakie 144mm, 144 mm.

It was Geelong’s coldest winter since 1998 and its second coldest in 19 years of figures at the airport near Mount Duneed.

The mean daily winter temperature was 9.6C compared to the long-term daily mean of 10.1C. In fact, all three of our winter months were colder than average, June by .5C, July by .2C and August by .85C.

Donations dress women for success

BY ANDREW MATHIESON UNEMPLOYED young girls with mental health issues, a lack of self-esteem or disadvantaged backgrounds are finding jobs dressed in the latest power suits.

A Geelong charity provider’s Dare to Succeed initiative has clothed the jobless in business attire to make a good first impression with employers.

Last year 16 out of 19 women who joined forces with BacLinks either found jobs for the first time or gained study to prepare for the workforce.

BacLinks manager Sheree Holdsworth said the high success rate was “fantastic”.

“Some of these young people who went through our program had been unemployed for over 10 years.

“Impressions are often made when you walk through the door, so it was important to give

Sheree Holdsworth, Sue Gladwell, Sharon Ford and Helen Hegyesi with some of the donated workwear.

Picture: Tommy Ritchie 52684 young people a bit of a holistic approach, like how to dress or present yourself,” she said.

This year the program is inviting unemployed women to Quiksilver’s head office for a series of workshops on

September 15.

Mrs Holdsworth said Dare to Succeed was again seeing donations of women’s workwear.

Donations could be arranged by phoning BacLinks on 5249 8989, she said.

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG’S oldest co-educational state secondary school will celebrate its 100th anniversary next month.

Geelong High School opened in 1910 with 79 students before moving to its existing location five years later.

Centenary organising committee member Jennifer Colquhoun said the school had been through many “big changes”.

“There’s no more chalk in schools any more and blackboards have become interactive whiteboards,” she laughed.

“Gone are the paper roll-calls in the morning and when I started at the school 20 years ago there was just one computer but now each student has access to one.

“In 1954 the school even had bell boys.”

Ms Colquhoun said that, after the school fire of 1965, enrolments peaked at 1045 in 1968 with classes of 30 to 35 students.

Acting principal Ruth Higginson said the school now has a stable enrolment of around 900 students as it prepared for the centenary celebrations.

“Part of the attraction of the school is that it’s a known quantity. It’s been here

Desal to ‘double local water bills’

BY KIM WATERS WATER bills will “more than double” after Geelong households begin helping pay off a $3.5 million desalination plant at Wonthaggi next year, the state opposition has warned.

Shadow minister for country water resources Peter Walsh said Geelong bills would include a “substantial” increase over the next five years to cover State Government funding for the plant.

Mr Walsh provided his esti-

mate of the cost to Geelong households after State Government again refused to reveal how much it expected bills to rise after completion of the plant.

The Government will hook Geelong into desalinated water prices after connecting the city to Melbourne’s supply with a $138 million pipeline next year.

The desalination plant, Australia’s biggest construction project, will supply 150 billion litres of water a year by the end of 2011.

“By putting in the Melbourne-Geelong interconnected pipeline the Government is forcing Geelong water users into paying for the desalination plant,” Mr Walsh said.

“This will have to be paid for

by Barwon Water customers whether the region uses the water or not.”

Mr Walsh accused the Brumby Government of “doing nothing for quite a few years” to secure water for the region.

Water Minister Tim Holding said the Government had no

influence over how much bills would increase because the Essential Services Commission was responsible for setting water prices.

The Government had contributed $20 million to the pipe project to keep prices down for Geelong, he said.

“The Government’s intention is to move all towns in Victoria off water restrictions.”

Barwon Water managing director Michael Malouf said any project to “improve water security” would affect prices.

TWO pairs of boxing gloves hang over a bookshelf corner, standing out from rows of books stacked behind in John Hare’s converted study.

One belonged to Lester Ellis, the other to Barry Michael, in their epic world title fight that gripped a nation in 1985.

They are just a small memento when compared to inside his South Geelong garage He points to a picture wall of fame, quickly singling out seven of the greatest world heavyweight champions – not to mention others in lower weight divisions – all captured alongside John in photographs.

The names are a who’s who of world boxing: Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Michael Spinks, Larry Holmes, Joe Bugner.

“I’m the good looking one right there,” 77-year-old John grins.

Then he looks intensely at Ali’s self-described pretty face before choosing his words wisely.

“I met Ali twice and to get a photo like that, well, there were crowds of people when he came in the room. He walked in with Tyson, that was back in ’88 when we were staying at the same hotel.”

Tyson was bunking only a couple of doors down in Las Vegas at a boxing conference.

When John was anointed the second Australian official to the World Boxing Council, the position opened up doors – including the door to Tyson’s room one morning.

John wanted to show the acknowledged baddest man on the planet a photo of him wearing the world title with muscles bulging and a rippling body but John’s head superimposed on top.

“This is the photo I wanted to show you,” John told Tyson.

“Great body, man,” he shot back.

“Yeah, that’s yours,” John smirked.

John also has a picture of legendary Julio Cesar Chavez, whom he showers with special praise.

Rated the world’s greatest fighter pound for pound, the Mexican lightweight epitomised how a boxer should finish their career.

“I looked at him very closely,” John says, “he’d had 130 fights and there was not a mark on him.”

Some photos on John’s glory wall are blurry, others out of frame, but they at least capture the moment.

Some show controversial boxing official Arthur Tunstall who famously had a bust-up over Cathy Freeman flying the Aboriginal flag at the 1990 Commonwealth Games.

“There’s one of Arthur and me,”

Local Legends ANDREW MATHIESON John says, “I should have cut his head off.”

Their history goes further back to the 1972 Munich Olympics.

John tells how Tunstall overlooked him to be in charge of the Australian team despite holding the post two years earlier at the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh.

“He put somebody in as coach of the Olympics and he’d never trained a boxer in his life,” John shudders.

But John acknowledges that boxing’s tough like that, mimicking a Hollywood script.

And just like Rocky, John’s wife’s Adrienne runs a tight house.

“I had a lovely wall on the room but my wife wouldn’t let me have them all inside,” he says.

John learned to fight when after coming home as a child with a busted eye.

The seven-year-old had been sent from England in 1940 for the duration of the war.

“In five years, I had nine homes and went to eight schools, so we were shuffled around a bit,” John recalls.

“I was getting into some fights at school and getting beaten up because the kids thought I ran away from the war.”

Dad later took John around London’s town halls to watch the pros slug it out.

Boxing took precedence when he returned to Australia to fight in the ring two years later in 1951 during national service.

But one loss in 15 amateur bouts hurt badly.

“I got a hiding,” John sheepishly recalls.

“I got stopped in the first round.”

Despite his ageing body, John still has quick hands.

He pulls into a stance, feet positioned ready to move, left hand leading out ready to jab.

When a Geelong Masters Games official approached the part-time table tennis paddler about what sport he wanted to play, John replied boxing.

“How old are you?” the man asked.

“I’m 72,” John answered.

The official was dumbfounded.

“Oh, I think we’ll find it difficult to get another 72-year-old in the ring to fight.”

letters Vote on rotunda I WRITE regarding the refurbished Portarlington rotunda (Independent, August 13).

The refurbishment and reopening is great for this township. Congratulations to those involved for a terrific job of superior quality.

There is debate as to who or which organisation should be granted use of the space (Independent, August 6). To enable everybody to have a say, it may be a good idea for City of Greater Geelong to hold a referendum of Portarlington residents, asking for preferred options as put forward by various individuals and parties.

It should be a simple task for which I would be happy to be involved on a voluntary basis.

CR STRETCH Kontelj has a short memory (Letters, August 27).

It’s not as though the Rudd-Gillard episode was the only leadership challenge in our political system since 1901. A few come to mind and it doesn’t really matter whether it was leader of the opposition or the Prime Minister.

In 1989 John Howard and Andrew Peacock both went for leadership of the Liberal party. Mr Peacock was successful, with Mr Howard eventually becoming a bad boy on the back bench, causing considerable disunity.

In 1990 John Hewson successfully challenged Mr Peacock with the support of Mr Howard who was keen on the GST at the time even though his 1995 election promise would be to “never, ever” have it introduced.

In 1993 Mr Howard successfully challenged Mr Hewson.

Alexander Downer eventually resigned as leader of the party after unrelenting pressure from Mr Howard who was elected unopposed.

Most people should remember the many times Mr Howard said he would hand over leadership to Peter Costello but never did.

Malcolm Turnbull just survived a Kevin Andrews challenge but was eventually burnt by the party.

The one that stands out a mile, though, was in 1975 when Gough Whitlam was knifed by Malcolm Fraser and John Kerr to make Mr Fraser caretaker Prime Minister.

There are many more stories on both sides,

including a couple of ousted Prime Ministers.

So, Cr Kontelj, your Liberal bunch has had just as many back stabbers as anyone.

REGARDING a statement on hooded plovers in last week’s Independent, there are now only 400 left in Victoria, down from 600 in 1980.

Spring is the start of these exclusively beach nesting birds’ breeding season and the first nest has already been found on the Bellarine Peninsula coast.

Anyone interested in nest monitoring or learning more about this charismatic but vulnerable little local is welcome to attend upcoming Birds Australia hoodie workshops at Anglesea, Apollo Bay and on the peninsula during September.

For more information phone 9347 0757 or email m.cullen@birdsaustralia.com.au John Murray Queenscliff

I loved to downsize to one with a smaller garden.

Even though the new residence had an automatic sprinkler system, which was by then unusable, I added rainwater tanks and a waste-water recycling system. For extra environmental measures I also had solar power and solar hot water installed.

I learned to clean my teeth with a glass of water instead of a running tap, saved up all the dishes until there was enough for the dishwasher to do a full load, ditto the washing machine, half-flushed and showered every other day in the colder months.

Geelong has suffered severe water restrictions for more than 10 years. There can’t be many of us who haven’t taken water saving and environmental measures to heart.

Now Mr Brumby wants us to stop feeling noble and caring for our lovely country so that he can garner a few more votes in November.

Surely his secretary for the environment told him how Geelong people would feel.

Or didn’t he?

Foul waters

Untimely populism

ONE WONDERS how many farmers and others in Corangamite would have gladly voted for anyone who vowed to oust pollution from drinking water.

Run-off of fertilisers into rivers, creeks and streams is causing concern for farm animals.

Fluoride in our most precious commodity - tap water – is causing many of my friends and I health issues.

All of the major parties knew about this yet no one saw fit to test the response. As far as they are concerned, fluoridation is good for teeth, so forget systemic damage and those affected become collateral damage.

The people have stated their objection to anything that isn’t their choice.

Foul play seems to be the name of the game, not fair play, in any party dictionary these days.

Sandra Camm Highton

BARWON Water should not even think about lifting restrictions following recent welcome rain.

There is a high probability summer will be long and hot, with all the pressure this will place on our finite water supplies.

The public is increasingly prepared to accept that an adequate supply of water for our household and commercial needs is far more important than the preservation of our lawns and gardens in a world of climate change.

This is no time for populism or politically-driven policy implementation on the part of Barwon Water.

Reduce savings BRING daylight savings back to its original format, which was from the end of October to the beginning of March.

October and March are usually cold, windy and rainy, so the extra hour of daylight is wasted because we’re not outdoors. Six months of daylight savings is too long.

Toward the end of the last daylight savings period I couldn’t wait to turn the clock back.

We also don’t need kids in the street longer.

letters With regards to last week’s Independent story concerning the large of number of potholes appearing on our roads, I am not surprised the VicRoads spokesperson “had not recorded a increase in complaints”.

After all, who has the time to spend 40 minutes on hold while trying to report either road damage or traffic lights not working?

This has been my experience on more than one occasion when

complaining to VicRoads.

Surely there has to be a local service to which these sorts of reports can be directed.

One could be excused for thinking VicRoads would receive more complaints if it did not make it so difficult, time consuming and generally not worth the trouble for anyone to report these things.

M Robinson Grovedale

Last week: The Independent’s story on the outbreak of potholes.

Then there was the Mt Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines in 1991. It spewed out more greenhouse gases than humans had emitted in 6000 years.

Mount Pinatubo was active for over one year.

A recent Australian Academy of Science report entitled The Science of Climate Change: Questions and Answers concluded it is not possible “to provide definite answers to many questions that are being asked about climate change and why it occurs.”

The billions of dollars spent worldwide on wind farms, solar panels and emissions trading schemes have been of no consequence in the overall scheme of things. Therefore, putting a price on carbon is a pointless and futile exercise, unless of course you can be successful in plugging every volcanic eruption on land as well on the seabed.

WHAT DO you do when somebody’s not there anymore?

To stand at the site of the crash is to slowly absorb the horror of what happened; the blackened earth, the scorched grass, the charred pole that stopped the careering car and stopped two lives with sudden, violent, blazing finality.

What passed through the minds of the two brothers in their final moments no one can guess. To think of death, to think of these two deaths, is a grim reality sometimes too hard to bear.

But another realisation is equally evident: the symbols of love and hope and remembrance that mark the site of tragedy, that mark the place of tribute. Sheaths of flowers, daffodils, lilies, mixed bunches that bear testimonials of love and affection, loss and grief to “my brothers”, “the boys”, to Darcy and Brady, “taken too early”.

Words from friends who dreamed of a life together.

Darcy Cook came to us at Geelong Technical Education Centre (GTEC) and had begun to piece together the strengths and the skills he possessed with his sense of humour and his ability to work hard at the physical tasks he enjoyed.

Everyone who knew Darcy and his brother, who revelled in their company, who shared their hopes and dreams, has an individual story to tell.

These stories make up the still-living memory of two lives cut brutally short.

We need to tell these stories and remember how fragile is the gift of life.

Michael Metzger GTEC skills centre manager

INDEPENDENTS and Greens were the big winners from the federal election.

But surely Greens could have done a lot better in the Geelong region. Have they backed off on clean environment policies?

The only pollution problem the Greens seem to recognise is carbon dioxide and global warming.

There is so much more.

Government, health departments and the EPA are utterly failing to protect our health from benzene and sulphur oxides pumping into our air from numerous industries.

And what about the toxic fluoride pollution from a smelter, an oil refinery, a fertilizer plant and coalburning at Anglesea? Barwon Water is now discharging massive amounts of fluoride into the environment through the piped water supply.

Surely the Greens could double their vote at the November state election if they tackled these environmental health problems seriously.

Perhaps others will grab these votes. Already Keith Oakley is standing as an independent in South Barwon to tackle fluoride and other pollution.

HAVING arrived in Geelong from Zimbabwe, I needed to find an outlet that would enable me to keep fit and provide a network of new friends.

I participated in the corporate cup on the Barwon River, which is a huge fundraising event in Geelong.

Our team of beginners was attached to the Barwon Rowing Club and we were trained by a wonderful coach with a great deal of experience and lots of patience.

From that day on I decided to have a go at rowing. I wandered down to the club and was nervous because I knew not a soul except our coach in the corporate cup.

My coordination skills leave a lot to be desired but the members were tolerant and patient while teaching me the basics.

Since then I have been fortunate to participate in competition, have made new friends and have helped with various club activities.

I love rowing with the club and the people I have met. I feel I am giving back to the community.

The club shed, originally built in the 1870s, is being rebuilt and funds are available to lock-up stage but additional funds are still required to finish the interior.

Funding for the new shed is vital to continue the great community work of the club, which provides wonderful social and sport facilities for all ages while supporting United Way in its charitable endeavours.

Eruption of waste GREENS Senator Bob Brown is keen to speak to whoever gains the reigns of power in Canberra about the introduction of a carbon tax.

Mr Brown would do well to consider natural events like the recent volcanic eruption in Iceland. In just four days it negated every single effort of humanity in the past five years to control CO2 emissions.

Grinspoon to get heavy here

BY ERIN PEARSON A REHEARSAL in Tasmania will deliver classic Grinspoon to Geelong next week, according to drummer Kristian Hopes.

He told the Independent fans could expect to “step back in time” when the legendary Australian rock band played the Eureka on Wednesday night.

“We had a show rehearsal in Hobart last month in front of a club’s staff and their mates. They threw in a few suggestions and we started mucking around playing a bunch of songs we haven’t played for years and had a ball,” Hopes told the Independent.

“We’ll keep these a secret until the show but Geelong fans will get the best of our new and old stuff.”

Many fans were drawn to Grinspoon for relatively contemporary hits such as Chemical Heart, Rock Show and Thrills, Kills and Sunday Pills but the band rode to fame on the back of hard-rock such as Black Friday and DCX3 (Dead Cat).

Hopes said the band had also moved away from “pop influences” and back to its heavier roots on latest album Six to Midnight.

“With Six to Midnight we paid for the album ourselves because we wanted to do it for us so we didn’t have that record company pressure,” Hopes said.

“It has an independent feel, taking our music back to the rock and roll roots – it’s what we do the best.”

“It’s basically a heavier sort of album for us.”

After its first Geelong gig in 1996, Grinspoon has since released charttopper singles No Reason, New Detention and Hard Act To Follow.

Other accolades include performing Better Off Alone at the 2006 Commonwealth Games closing ceremony in Melbourne, earning 13 ARIA nominations and winning Best Rock Album in 2005.

Hopes said the band recorded, Six To Midnight, its sixth studio album, in Grinspoon’s “spiritual homeland” of Byron Bay with legendary US producer Rick Will, who has worked with Johnny Cash, No Doubt and Nine Inch Nails.

“We’ve got young fans coming to the shows these days and people of all ages, even parents are coming with their kids,” Hopes laughed.

“We hope to be around a lot longer without getting outdated.

“We have another few generations to entertain to come yet.”

Hopes said Grinspoon planned to travel overseas after the national tour.

“We’ve been to a lot of places but we’re not over creating memories yet.

“The band is constantly striving for something new and we’re heading to Japan for a new record deal next year before heading back over to the UK, Europe and Germany.”

Power up for sustainability ustralians are so worried about increasing electricity prices they are rushing to cut their energy consumption by introducing moresustainable energy sources to slash energy bills.

A Solarhart-commissioned online survey of 676 home-owners aged between 18 and 64 revealed 97 per cent are making efforts to be more environmentally-friendly and to cut household energy bills.

Ninety-four per cent were concerned about hikes in energy prices and 88 per cent wanted to reduce their household energy use.

Solarhart Geelong manager Damian McCormack says the figures show sustainable energy is no longer a niche greenie alternative but mainstream.

According to the survey, almost a quarter of respondents have replaced electric hot water systems with more-energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly alternatives such as solar heaters and 22% have opted to pay extra for green power.

In addition, 89 per cent have installed energy-efficient light globes, 72 per cent have purchased energy-efficient appliances and 64 per cent are turning

off appliances when not in use.

On top of existing state rebates, Federal Government has a $1000 rebate for replacing electric water heaters with a solar systems.

Renewable energy certificates (RECs) of more than $1000 are also available, so householders have a combined incentive of over $2000 for a typical Solahart 300-litre system.

However, too many of the surveyed home owners were still unaware of available savings opportunities.

Just 50 per cent were conscious of the $1000 federal rebate and only 52 per cent were aware of RECs. In fact, just over a quarter did not know of the existence of legislation or rebates to help them transition to a sustainable energy supply.

Even worse, 77 per cent were unaware new electric hot water systems were planned to be phased out across Australia in 2012, with no guarantee how long rebates would last.

Solar water heaters are much more energy efficient than electric models, so they help owners save on energy bills. Call 1300 721 946.

Quirky Kyle on ‘next step’ with new album gigs

BY ERIN PEARSON KYLE Taylor is first to admit he can be “weird and quirky” at times.

“But it does work,” said the Geelong musician ahead of two gigs in his home town to play songs from his self-titled album.

Drawing on inspirations such as Jeff Buckley and Damien Rice, the 22-year-old contrasted the album’s acoustic folk with the rock of his former band, Lost Order.

“Lost Order had a real alternative sound - it was heavy,” he said.

“I’ve always had this acoustic side to me but never really branched out.”

As a child Taylor dreamt of becoming a motorbike racer before his mother encouraged him into music.

His interest in song blossomed during year seven at St Josephs College.

“It was a way of forming friends until I started getting piano lessons.

“Grandma lent me a Casio keyboard and I began to write songs.”

After leaving Lost Order in 2006 Taylor travelled to the USA where he recorded his first album, America to Home, in a garage.

The self-described “Triple-J, not MixFM-type artist” said plenty more was to come.

“Every artist you listen to always speaks about the early part of their career as being the fun part, the part where they discovered themselves, and that’s where I’m at.

“Some days I’m like ‘Oh, I know it all’ but when you have mangers come back and tell you what you can fix and do better that really shapes you.

“The next five years will be a very big step for me.”

Taylor will perform with Monique Brumby at the Barwon Club this Friday night and at Bended Elbow on September 10.

‘Rev-head’ loves her new Harley ine years ago Geelong’s Nicci Wall won a Honda XR 400 motorcycle in a pizza shop promotion.

“Fortunately I was allowed to exchange it for the smaller Honda 250 Rebel because I was still on my learners’ permit in 2001.”

Nicci admits this is where her love of motorbikes began. She has had a couple of other bikes since the little 250 and today, with nearly a decade of riding experience behind her, she owns one of the bigger motorcycles in the HarleyDavidson range, the VRod Muscle.

But before she could handle the 307kg VRod with its liquidcooled, 60-degree, V-Twin, 1250cc engine, she had to gain experience and expertise as a rider.

“I’m a bit of a rev-head and owning a Harley was the dream but I don’t think I could have gone from the 250cc straight up to the Harley Fat Boy or VRod because of the weight of the bikes.”

GREG WANE Honda 250 Nicci started looking around at all the leading brands.

“I looked at all the other bikes but Harley was always the dream bike,” she said.

“I never thought I could afford one until one day I went into the Harley shop and priced one.

“I bought the 883 Speedster. It was a good size and weight for a woman. Most women riders will choose the Harley Fat Boy, Dyna Wide Glide or the Speedster.

The Harley Speedster weighs in at just 270kg but when it falls over it can seem a whole lot heav-

ier, Nicci said.

“I came out one day to find some one had knocked over my Speedster. Fortunately it had crash bars and protective bars and when it fell over all the paint work was protected but I couldn’t get it upright.

“Luckily there was a young man walking past and he saw my dilemma and he said ‘Would you like a hand to pick that up?’ and I said ‘Oh, yes, please’.

“Chivalry is not dead” Having a bike fall over is one thing but coming off one at high speed is something Nicci has experienced only once, luckily for her well-being.

“I was cornering and there was gravel on the road and the bike slid out from under me,” she recalled.

“Luckily I had done the advanced course at HART and had learnt how to put the bike into a slide to protect myself and minimise damage to the bike.”

a four-cylinder engine of just 1.6 litres.

Later models had a 2.0-litre unit which significantly improved things, though these cars are still far from being powerhouses. The convertible used a hightech 1.8-litre engine and is by far the best as far as performance is concerned.

A five-speed manual gearbox that’s conventional is used in all versions of the coupe. However, the convertible has a sequential setup in which the driver doesn’t have to use a clutch pedal but still has to make all their own gearchanges. This latter gearbox is an acquired taste but not too bad once you get the hang of it.

However, the public never did take to the concept and sales were slow from the start – and came down to a crawl as the years went by.

Severe engine wear may make it reluctant to start, it’s usually worst when stone cold so try to arrange to get to the engine first thing in the morning before it has been used.

If the engine smokes from the exhaust and/or the oil filler plug it’s probably due for a major overhaul.

Smoking is at its worst when the engine is left to idle for a minute or so, then accelerated hard.

Gear changes should be smooth and easy, as should clutch movement.

Look for previously repaired crash damage: sight along the length of the panels for a ripply finish indicating they have been panel beaten; look for a mismatch in paint colours between panels; see if there are any small paint spots on unpainted areas such as glass and plastic parts.

Finally, check for poorly repaired areas of body in out of sight areas such as in the front ‘bonnet’, the rear boot and the engine compartment.

Signs of competition use in an MR2 are usually easy to spot: look for a rollcage; extra instruments (though sometimes they are there for show and not go); bigger wheels and tyres; a body kit; sports seats, and so on.

Look for heavy brake-dust buildup on the insides of the wheels and on the front suspension components.

Uneven tyre wear caused by hard cornering is easy to spot – be suspicious of tyres have recently been renewed.

Have a good look at the interior, including under the carpets, in case it has been caught out in the rain with its top down.

imed at those who would love to own a Ferrari, but are few hundred of thousands short of the asking price of the Italian classics, the Toyota MR2 is a good looking coupe using a mid engine. The latter gives it excellent balance and traction, though there are some drawbacks in the handling department that we will go into in a moment.

Like many other mid-engined cars the Toyota MR2 can be tricky when it approaches its limit. The difference between being in control and out of shape is relatively narrow. Those without proper training and the right attitude should probably go for a less pure car.

At-the-limit handling improved with the new MR2 of March 1990 and again with a revamp of the suspension in February 1992. But it’s still wise to exercise caution if you push the car hard on an unknown road.

As it is strictly a two-seater, the Toyota MR2 is relatively spacious in its cabin because there’s not need to compromise on squeezing in back seats.

Boot space is better than average for a car of this type - which doesn’t say all that much, but the car is capable of holding a week’s holiday luggage for two with careful packing.

Until 2000 the MR2 was a closed coupe with a targa top, from then it was a full convertible.

The MR2 is typically Toyota in the reliability stakes in that it can run for years on end without problems. That is with good driving and maintenance, this is after all a sports model and some will have been thrashed.

Spare parts are reasonably priced for a car of this type.

The Toyota dealer network is huge but the remote agents probably are unlikely to have parts in stock for the MR2. However, you shouldn’t have to wait more than a couple of days for parts in normal circumstances.

This is not an easy car to work on as the engine/transmission assembly is hard to reach. Professional mechanics remove the complete transaxle and work on it on a bench.

If you don’t have the equipment to do that this can be an expensive car to repair.

Toyota MR2 quietly disappeared from the Australia market in 2006.

From October 1987 until March 1990 the sporty little MR2 was powered by

was not the Great Ocean Road.

“I love the Bellarine Peninsula, around all the esplanades. From Drysdale down to Portarlington and around the foreshore to St Leonards there’s some great bends and some beautiful scenery - and there’s hardly any traffic.”

“The Great Ocean Road is okay but it has gotten so busy that it’s no longer a nice cruise and has become dangerous. Riders can go a bit wide on the corners and you have also got cars that cut the corners and clip the bikes.

“There’s also gravel on the road, which makes the bike slide out.

“People can report hazardous road conditions particularly for motor cyclists through VicRoads.

“If you see gravel on the bitumen particularly on the Great Ocean Road you can call the Road Safe number, 131170.”

From page 54 “I highly recommend the HART courses for new or even experienced riders,” Nicci stressed.

Honda Australia Rider Training (HART) is a motorcyclists’ training facility based at Tullamarine.

HART is a non-profit division of Honda MPE and conducts training for all levels of motorcyclists from beginner through to advanced. Riding simulators help a new rider to develop and improve their hazard perception skills.

Nicci also advised would-be riders to do the Stay Upright course in Geelong.

“You start with your basic learner’s course go up to the licence course which is a full day when you get your Ps,” she said.

“From here riders can go right up to level six advanced courses. HART will take them out to the Calder Race Track where riders do high speed braking and handling.”

When Nicci moved up to the new VRod she said she felt she was ready for the bigger bike.

“The VRod is sportier than the other Harley cruisers. It’s faster and has a higher ground clearance,” she said.

“The VRod is more agile and you can really lean into a corner.”

Nicci considered the bike very sleek with a look all of its own. She made her own bike even more distinctive.

“I put some extra bling on the bike. I added extra chrome and being a rev head I changed the pipes to get a bit more of a gruntier sound.”

The rev head in Nicci only comes out on weekends.

“I’m typically known as a weekend warrior – a rider who rides mainly at weekends and only occasionally uses their bike to commute to work.

“Probably as many as 65 to 70 per cent of riders are just weekend warriors.

“It’s a totally different perspective when you’re on a bike. It’s like the whole world has opened up to you.

“It’s definitely the wind in your face. It gives you such a sense of freedom out there.

“It’s totally different to driving a car.”

But surprisingly Nicci’s favourite ride

Good one, dad: Torquay surfer Stephen Ashley is pictured with sons, from left, Luke, Zane and Joel after a clean sweep of longboard and shortboard categories in a recent competition for deaf surfers at New South Wales’ Crescent Head.

Competitors from around Australia attended the event.

Supercats win championship GEELONG Supercats have won South East Australia Basketball League’s 2010 all-conference title.

Overcoming a tall-timbered Bendigo line-up, the Supercats used solid defence to win 95-85.

Forward Nathan Herbert said the Supercats remained on top throughout most of the match.

“We came out and had the game pretty much under control for a large portion of it,” he said.

“Bendigo made a run for it in the end but to the boys credit we stuck together.

“It was one of those great games.”

Herbert said the side had overcome a year of change and disruption to clinch the win.

ALL NEW

“We’ve had lots of ups and downs and injuries, a new coach and new system but everyone bought into it,” he said.

“The boys are now celebrating nice and hard.”

Herbert will have little rest after the victory before heading to Adelaide to play in the NBL next week.

Geelong was slow out of the blocks on Saturday night with Bendigo jumping out to an early eight-point lead.

Supercat forwards J’Nathan Bullock and Herbert fought back with three point shots as Geelong went on a 9-0 run to seize the lead.

In a neck-and-neck tussle during the next quarter, the Braves

brought the score back within three points at the main break.

A final quarter shootout finished with Supercats captain Braith Cox leading his side to victory with 13 points, three rebounds and five assists.

Bullock had 17 points and six rebounds, while Herbert finished on 17 points and nine.

Isma’il Muhammad won the Hugh McMenemin Medal as Most Valuable Player in the championship game for his match-leading 21 points, six rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block.

The Supercats will announce their MVP and best club man during their annual appreciation night this Friday.

Final roar at Leopold

Merri anglers nab trout as weather clears A DRAMATIC improvement in weather over the past week resulted in the best fishing for some time.

Freshwater was again productive, with Lake Bullen Merri a clear favourite.

Anglers fishing the lake were rewarded with plenty of small rainbows, especially when using Powerbait from the shore.

Boat anglers also found small rainbows while trolling, which again accounted for the larger browns, some over 3kg. Tassie Devils were the lures doing all the damage, especially in the gold colourations.

With rising water at all our lakes, Purrumbete’s original boat ramp at the caravan park just about reached useable in the past week. Anglers trolling at the lake nailed a mix of both rainbow and brown trout, with the latter the larger fish.

With trout season official open this weekend, the Barwon is still high and discoloured but trout available. My advice is to keep an eye on the rivers, with all the recent rain promising a great season.

A welcome flush has also brought out bream in local estuaries, with many anglers landing fish between 600g and 950g.

Angelsea River and Painkalac Creek, at Airey’s Inlet, have been working on bait and lure. Bait anglers need fresh bait such as sand worms, shrimp or yabbies, while lure enthusiasts need a mix of soft plastics and hard-bodies.

Surf fishing was tough again, with a huge ground swell pounding the shore and causing sandy, discoloured conditions. The only good reports I had for the week were from the rocks at Cinema

On the bite BRIAN LONG Point but most fish were small, averaging 800g.

Squid fishing continued to be excellent, with most anglers reporting bag limit captures or close to it all the way from Edwards Point to Hermsley. Top-quality size 2.5 jigs seem to be the way to go when fished in shallow water.

We fished Queenscliff’s cut for trevally to 1.2kg on Turtleback worms and curltail grubs, with best results in the hour before high tide and until it started to run out.

Frank Holt fished two late-night sessions at Swan Bay, the home of gummy shark, where he landed six fish, with the best a respectable 6.2kg cleaned. Frank used fresh squid caught from the shore at Hermsley.

Snapper reports increased, especially from the deep water of St Leonards.

Fishing in 22 metres of water over the weekend, Ken Carmichael and his brother found a huge shoal for a hot three-session yielding over 20 fish, with all returned except two weighing 3.2kg.

Snapper were inconsistent off Clifton

Springs but this area will fire in the next few weeks.

Barry Palmer cast soft plastics in close to Long Reef for around 20 snapper between 30cm and 35cm.

Danny Jacobs found good numbers of whiting close in to Bird Rock, with most averaging 33cm. Danny used pippie and fresh squid baits with a berley.

Francis Sharp wet a line at Stingaree Bay where the finishing was generally slow for the first three hours. However, just as he was contemplating packing up a rod folded under the weight of a 2kg snapper, which was Francis’s best to date.

Geelong’s waterfront was slow again but anglers prepared to put in the cold hours still caught snapper. Most were between 30cm and 40cm and taken on Turtleback worms and 80mm wrigglers.

Bait anglers also landed a few fish using chicken marinated in fish oil.

Offshore, gummy shark to 8kg were on the move off Barwon Heads along with quite a few nice snapper to 3.5kg. Fresh squid and cured eel were the baits returning all the good results.

Few anglers go flounder spearing these days, so it was interesting to have Garry Jones give me the heads up on what he has been doing in the area between Alcoa Pier and Pelican Shores Caravan Park. Here over two nights he found a mix of flathead, garfish, squid and flounder, with his best capture a cuttlefish just over 2kg.

BFL Bellarine Football League plays its preliminary final on Saturday at Drysdale Recreation Reserve, with the combatants Drysdale and Queenscliff.

The winner advances to next Saturday’s grand final to take on Geelong Amateurs.

Drysdale will be down on confidence after losing to Amateurs by 49 points in last week’s second semi-final and will be worried the finals yips it thought it buried last year may be back.

Queenscliff only just got through last week’s first semi-final against

Local Footy FRANK MASON Anglesea by kicking away in extra time after scores were level at the final siren. It can hardly claim to have finals poise, because last week’s victory was its first finals win from its last four starts.

When the Coutas are on song they look good, with the skills of Edward Grout, Dan Measures and Roscoe Holmes cutting through most opposition defences.

Maybe last week’s victory will start the ball rolling but I suspect Drysdale will bounce back strongly and take the added help of home-ground advantage to record a solid victory.

GDFL Werribee Centrals and East Geelong play for the right to take on Bell Post Hill in Geelong and District Football League’s grand final when they meet at St Albans Reserve in the preliminary final.

Werribee has really dropped off the pace in the past two months and was soundly beaten by Bell Post Hill last week.

Don’t write the Centurions off just yet because Bell Post Hill is a seriously good side and has beaten all comers by big margins over the second half of the season.

Werribee really needs Anthony Kitchen, Travis John and Brendan Chugg to fire to challenge the likes of Bell Post Hill but just maybe it’s still good enough to beat East Geelong.

There’s a lot to like about East Geelong, with Adam Skrobalak having the knack of leading his side to victory when all seems lost. He has willing cohorts in Ryan Closter, Michael Jennings, Simon Prymke and Sean O’Leary who lift to the challenge.

This will be a closely contested affair, with East’s finals experience helping it to a spirited victory.

No Bullen: Paul Tamis with a fat brown trout taken on a Tassie Devil trolled at Lake Bullen Merri.

THIS weekend’s second round of Geelong Football League finals will be played at Skilled Stadium.

Saturday’s second semi-final sees Bell Park and South Barwon do battle.

This is Bell Park’s first final because it had last week off courtesy of finishing on top of the ladder, while South Barwon won through after beating St Mary’s in the qualifying final.

The Dragons will be nervous after a flogging at the hands of Leopold in the last home-and-away round and the appearance of a few injury worries.

South Barwon looked good last week with the likes of Clinton Wells, Paul Sullivan and Paul Corrigan showing their experience and class while youngsters Casey Tutungi and Bryn Weadon were not overwhelmed.

The Dragons were the standout side of the home-and-away season and, once the nerves settle, their class should help them win its way through to the grand final.

Sunday’s first semi-final between St Mary’s and Leopold will end with the loser eliminated from the finals race.

St Mary’s was gallant in defeat last week and looked to be back to its best after a late-year form slump.

Leopold just got over the line against Lara in the elimination final and will want to play a lot better to win this match.

Its running style of play might suit the bigger ground at Skilled Stadium but will have to move the ball fast because St Mary’s is a strong marking and hard-tackling outfit.

Expect St Mary’s to win a close game.

Cats at peak, says Bomber

BY ANDREW MATHIESON GEELONG coach Mark Thompson has confidently declared this year’s Cats have reached the peak of their powers.

“This is probably the best shape we have been any time in the last four years,” he said.

The ominous warning comes on the eve of Friday night’s crucial qualifying final against St Kilda.

The Cats are aiming to win a third AFL title in four years.

Thompson dismissed comparisons to Brisbane’s triple-crown triumph between 2001 and 2003.

“Let’s win the flag first,” he responded.

“I really don’t care how we get rated compared to any other team.”

Bookmakers concur with Thompson, backing Geelong as premiership favourite despite the Cats losing to minor premiers Collingwood and the Saints in their last encounters.

St Kilda have also won two of the past three gruelling battles but the Cats had the edge in the 2009 grand final when it mattered.

Thompson predicted another war of attrition.

“Our match-ups are crucial – we have to get in great physical shape, mental state of mind will have to be fantastic, we have to be up for the game and no doubt we are,” he said.

“Then it’s going to come down to who has legs at the end and who is still standing.”

The last time the two contenders clashed St Kilda hardman Steven Baker was controversially rubbed

out for nine matches and mercurial forward Steve Johnson copped three for whacking the aggressive Saint tagger back.

Thompson has pleaded for the AFL to clean up behind-play incidents in the wake of the controversial altercation last time the two sides clashed.

“I just hope it’s good for the umpires to come out and take control of the match straight up and that would have saved all of the hassle out of the last time we played,” he said.

“Finals are serious games – there’s a lot at stake.”

However, St Kilda coach Ross Lyon has defended Baker’s rough-housing tactics.

“I’m on record that Steven plays within the laws of game,” Lyon said.

“He’s certainly copped a suspension and it’s all debatable.

“As I’ve said, there are plenty things on both sides of the fence that get missed, so I just want all players to have equal protection and be umpired to the laws of the game.”

Geelong captain Cameron Ling paid respect to St Kilda, who has a superior record to the Cats over the past two seasons.

But he said Geelong remained “very motivated to keep being successful”.

“We know it’s going to be a huge challenge this week but the good thing about this group is they’re all up for a challenge,” he said.

“St Kilda is a quality team but we feel that if we play our absolute best we’ll be well and truly in the game, giving them a run for their money.”
