Colman to roll up for ‘crack’ at ocean road marathon title ‘Outsiders’ in Torquay raids

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG paralympian Richard Colman faces international opposition when he defends his TAC Wheelchair Athletes title in next week’s Great Ocean Road Marathon Festival. Colman, who recently returned from the world championships with gold, helped establish the festival’s wheelchair category after turning up to compete at the 2009 competition unannounced. He will contest this year’s title against New Caledonia’s Pierre Fairbank and New Zealander Matthew Lack. Fairbank, one of the world’s top wheelchair racers, won bronze at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics and gold at the world championships. Lack, 19, represented New Zealand at the 2010 Commonwealth Games and in the 2011 world championships. Colman said he was excited to line up in an international field for the 14km race from Apollo Bay to Paradise and back. “I’ll have a good crack,” he said. “One of my top rivals, Pierre, will race and train with me, so it’s going to be very tight with us. “The elite pack will be very big and the last corner will be really great to watch.” Colman competed in New Zealand earlier this year and will take on a half-marathon in Seoul this weekend before returning for the festival. He also plans to compete in England, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and America this year. The winner of the festival’s wheelchair challenge will earn an all expenses-paid trip to Hawaii’s Honolulu Marathon in December. The five event marathon festival will run On track: Richard Colman at training in Geelong this week. from May 14 to 15.

BY ERIN PEARSON POLICE believe two men from out of town are behind a series of burglaries in Torquay over the past week. Torquay Police Senior Constable Joshua Terpstra said their raids climbed to 10 burglaries and a theft after the men fled from Safeway with unpaid baskets of food on Monday. He said the men, who police believed were in their 20s, had targeted more than a dozen businesses and caused thousands of dollars damage since April 26. They could be driving a white Holden station wagon, Snr Const Terpstra said. “The same types of premises have been targeted, they’ve all been vacant at night and the offenders have used the same MO (method of operations). “They’re after food and alcohol as well as opportunistic cash on premises.” On April 26 two offenders smashed a window at Jan Juc’s Soul Fuel Cafe to gain entry before stealing food, alcohol and cash. Two days later they broke into Torquay’s Farm Foods to steal meat and alcohol. Later the same night they unsuccessfully sought entry to Tapas Cafe. The men also attempted to smash their way into Corkscrew Cellars, PETstock, Beach Front Cafe and Growlers but left empty handed. Police believe a separate offender broke into Rip Curl to steal thousands of dollars worth of watches on April 26.

‘Victory’ on footpaths “While I can understand council’s wish to include as many properties as possible within the scheme to minimise the cost per property, the test must be that these properties will receive a special benefit,” Mr Hadjigeorgiou said in his ruling. “The scheme includes a number of properties … that will not receive a special benefit.” Lead objector Steve Burton said

residents would spend the next few weeks celebrating after two years fighting council. “I actually couldn’t believe it. I had to read the result three or four times,” Mr Burton said. “The community made it pretty clear it didn’t want what (the shire) was offering. “This has been a grassroots response and the shire needs to have a look at how they communi-

Council initially planned to slug residents hundreds of dollars more but slashed the plan by 40 per cent amid fierce objections. Surf Coast Shire unveiled the proposed special payment scheme in 2009 after a survey of the area revealed inadequate disability access and walking tracks. Residents and ratepayers lodged more than 900 letters of objection against the $2.3 million special charge scheme. The proposal

would have affected properties in Strathmore Drive, Domain Road, Sunset Strip, Ocean Boulevard, Duffields Road and Carnarvon Avenue. Mr Hadjigeorgiou said the shire would also have to seek an “acceptable treatment” for the pathways prior to proposing any alternative special charge scheme.

cate with the community.” Mr Burton said the shire should use its general rates revenue if it wanted to build footpaths around Jan Juc. “The shire will have to have a re-think about what it wants to do because we will never support it (a special charge scheme).” The scheme to pay for a network of footpaths in Jan Juc would have cost residents an average $414.

BY ERIN PEARSON JAN JUC residents have won a two-year battle against council plans to charge them for unwanted footpaths. Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal member Nicholas Hadjigeorgiou ruled Surf Coast Shire’s special charge scheme “must fail” because the proposed footpaths were of no benefit to many properties.

Volunteer clinic â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;filling voidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in care for poor

Healing hand: Naturopath Janine Castle at the Norlane clinic with Bethany Sandford. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 63572

BY KIM WATERS A FREE heath care service for low-income earners is filling a void in Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northern suburbs, according to an organiser. Norlane Healing Handsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kathy Ryan said the volunteer-run service was helping people who could not afford other â&#x20AC;&#x153;over-pricedâ&#x20AC;? medical centres. Ms Ryan said the service operated out of Norlane Baptist Church hall half a day a week, offering acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine and consultations with an osteopath and a naturopath. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people on healthcare cards canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford this kind of medical care so they

generally just go without,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the benefits of traditional medicine and we want this kind of health care to be available to everyone, even those on a low incomes.â&#x20AC;? Ms Ryan said the clinicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practitioners were all fully qualified and had their own insurance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The practitioners spend up to an hour with each patient and we ask for a donation of $5 but if people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford that we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to turn them away,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All patients need to have a healthcare card or a concession card or be on a pension to qualify for treatment.â&#x20AC;?

Club owner fined BY KIM WATERS A MOORABOOL Street night club owner who served alcohol on his opening night without a liquor license made a â&#x20AC;&#x153;genuine and honest mistakeâ&#x20AC;?, a court heard this week. Rush night club owner Robert Thornley, 43, faced Geelong Magistrates Court on Wednesday to answer charges of selling alcohol without a license and making a false statement in his liquor license application. Police Prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Geoff Lamb told the court Thornley completed an application for the transfer of former Cruise Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liquor license on May 10 but failed to

include information on an attached questionnaire about his prior domestic violence charges. Snr Const Lamb said in an interview on June 13 Thornley told police he had misread the question seeking details of prior charges because he â&#x20AC;&#x153;was not wearing his glassesâ&#x20AC;?. Snr Const Lamb said police attended a Rush opening on July 25 after receiving information that Thornleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liquor license application had been rejected. Police witnessed 400 patrons at the club and staff serving alcohol, the court heard. Snr Const Lamb said the former ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liquor license was still displayed on the wall of the club.

BONUS: INCLUDES $130 OF ADDED VALUE

Thornley said he was the manager but later â&#x20AC;&#x153;avoided policeâ&#x20AC;? when they attempted to question him. In a July 29 police interview Thornley admitted he did not have permission to use the former ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license and â&#x20AC;&#x153;should not have had itâ&#x20AC;? on the wall, Snr Const Lamb said. Mr Fargo, for Thornley, said his client had organised a liquor license online in an attempt to â&#x20AC;&#x153;save moneyâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was his first mistake,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was very naiveâ&#x20AC;Śvery enthusiastic.â&#x20AC;? Mr Fargo said Thornley â&#x20AC;&#x153;rushed throughâ&#x20AC;? the questionnaire and sent off the documen-

tation to the Liquor Licensing Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear anything back he decided to open.â&#x20AC;? Mr Fargo said Thornley was $43,000 in arrears after police shut down the club for three months. Thornley had since arranged a liquor license through a friend and had re-opened in midOctober, he said. Magistrate Ann McGarvie convicted and fined Thornley $800. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are a grown man,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your responsibility to find out all the necessary legalities of the business.â&#x20AC;?

Hardware giants gear up for battle in region The Woolworths spokesman said a number of additional stores would open “in quick succession” around Victoria and Queensland. “We’re on track to achieve our target of 150 property sites within five years. We have 14 under construction and another 10 or 12 have had approval.” The announcement pits Masters head-to-head with hardware giant Bunnings, which already has two warehouse stores in the region. Bunnings has also earned approval to build a store at the northern entry to Torquay, pitting the company against the town’s long-time Mitre 10 hardware store. Geelong’s Fagg’s Mitre 10, complet-

ing a 3300-square-metre extension to its South Geelong timber centre, has added the Wallington Mitre 10 store to its portfolio. The $7 million redevelopment will bring whitegoods retailer E&S Trading to the 1800-square-metre store space. A 900-square-metre warehouse and 100 car parks are also part of the redevelopment. Other retailers in the sector, Home Timber and Hardware at Ocean Grove and Anglesea and ThriftyLink Hardware at Newcomb, Drysdale and Lorne, would face stiffer competition despite being part of the Danks group,

which Woolworths acquired in 2009. Masters chief executive officer Don Stallings said the first store, at Braybrook in Melbourne’s western suburbs, would cover 13,500 square metres. He expected the store to open in September or October. Mr Stallings said Masters stores would carry more than 35,000 products in an “air-conditioned, clean and comfortable environment”. “The home improvement category is ripe for a new name and a new concept delivering fantastic customer service in a welcoming setting.”

Zane nets place in Maltese basketball team via web BY ERIN PEARSON DRYSDALE teenager Zane Micallef will fly to Italy in July to compete in the European Basketball Championships. The 14-year-old point guard will represent Malta in the under-16 championships after his improvement caught the eye of Maltese officials overseas. The Malta Basketball Association contacted Basketball Geelong about Zane’s availability after his family uploaded video of him in action to the internet. He will travel to Europe in late June for a two-week training camp ahead of the division C championships beginning July 12. Zane, who was recovering this week from a broken nose sustained in an on-court clash, said he was still trying to absorb the news. “When I told my friends most didn’t believe me,” he said. “I was quite nervous but I’m pretty psyched about it.” Zane said his “dream” was to earn a basketball scholarship for an American college. “I hope playing in the championships can help my chances. I’d also love to play for the Geelong Supercats, so improving my skills is pretty important.” The year-nine St Ignatius College student plays for Geelong in the Victorian Junior Basketball League. His mother, Jasmyn, said a small pool of domestic stock prompted Malta to scout for players beyond its borders. “Zane had his name on a few websites through his basketball and the scout contacted us for more information - it all happened so fast,” Ms Micalef said. “This can only be a good thing for his resume and if he plays a good tournament hopefully he’ll be invited back next year.” Basketball Geelong spokeswoman Amy Hawthorne said the league was thrilled. Zane had “outstanding potential”, she said. The European Basketball Championships run from July to August, incorporating countries including Serbia, Macedonia, Spain, Poland, Chile, Bulgaria and Romania.

Death ‘relief’ THE BROTHER of Geelong’s Peter Gyulavary, who died in America’s September 11 terrorist attacks, has acknowledged the death of international terrorism leader Osama Bin Laden. Paul Gyulavary said he felt a “great sense of relief” but believed international terrorism threats would continue despite the death of Bin Laden.

$50m boost OCTOBER’S UCI road cycling world championships delivered a $50 million windfall to Geelong’s economy, according to a new estimate out of City Hall. Councillor Bruce Harwood said he expected the event to continue generating revenue for the city as tourists who watched the race on television overseas put Geelong on their travel itineraries for Australia.

Man shot POLICE have shot and killed a North Geelong man after he allegedly confronted them with a knife at a St Kilda hotel. Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Simon Overland backed the constables involved, saying their only choice was to shoot Craig Douglas as he advanced on them.

Change names TWO MORE St Leonards lanes will share parts of the name of a character from ABC television series Sea Change, Geelong’s council has announced. Ward councillor John Doull said Diver Dan and Bosca lanes were in keeping with the theme of SeaChange estate, named after the series was partly filmed in the town.

Robber charged POLICE have charged an 18-year-old over a series of armed robberies at Geelong 7-Eleven stores in which he allegedly wore a horror-character mask to conceal his identity. Geelong Police said investigators had charged Rhys Baensch 18, of East Geelong, with four counts of armed robbery and one of car theft.

Springs ‘issues’ GEELONG’S council is trying to resolve “issues” with plans to levy developers for infrastructure and to take over private land in Clifton Springs’ Jetty Road urban growth area. Cr Rod Macdonald said four developers, VicRoads and a land owner had objected to a planning scheme amendment proposing the stage one levy and the takeover of land between Portarlington Road and Bellarine Rail Trail.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE REGION’S hardware sector is in for a shake-up, with Woolworths “keen” to secure a site for its new Masters store. Woolworths renewed the site search after the previous State Government rejected its initial application for a slice of the former Geelong Golf Club. “We are keen to bring our home improvement offer to Geelong, a spokesman for the company said. Woolworths and US partner Lowe’s announced Masters as the brand for its long-awaited entry into the $42 billion Australian home improvement sector.

Centre in cash budget ‘boost’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN AND KIM WATERS THE BAILLIEU Government has included $15 million in its first budget to upgrade Geelong’s library and heritage centre, according to council. Mayor John Mitchell said council would formally apply for a further $15 million from Federal Government to complete the project funding jigsaw. “The State Government allocation…combined with council’s own commitment of $20 million to the project makes a strong case for subsequent federal funding,” Cr Mitchell said. “A new Geelong Library and Heritage Centre is council’s top funding priority and in addition to serving as a foundation project within Geelong’s cultural precinct it will further activate the broader central city area.” Other city leaders gave the budget’s allocations to the Geelong region a pass mark. Infrastructure and feasibility studies were the big winners, with water, transport and education all earning funding allocations. Geelong Chamber of Commerce executive officer Bernadette Uzelac called the budget “conservative”. “We’d like to see more action on the (proposed) regional rail link because delaying its roll-out is a big issue for Geelong,” she said. “We want to see more action sooner rather than later instead of dragging the chain with feasibility studies on Geelong priority projects. While we understand that debt is increasing, Geelong is a special case in terms of growth, taking the overload from the metropolitan area. “The Government has to put the infrastructure in place now rather than play catch-up.” Elaine Carbines, the head of regional councils group G21-Geelong Region Alliance, welcomed the Government’s commitment to develop Geelong as an international aerospace, defence and aviation hub. “We’re pleased with the allocation of funding and in-principle support toward several of our region’s priority projects,” she said. But Labor Member for Bellarine Lisa Neville said the budget was “disappointing and the lowest spend for Geelong in many years”. “It has no plan about future job creation or further economic growth,” Ms Neville said. Major funding commitments for the region included feasibility studies into the duplication of the Princes Highway from Colac to Winchelsea, development of a rail link to Avalon Airport and shifting Melbourne’s car shipping facilities to Geelong. The budget also honoured funding commitments with funding for projects including: a Breakwater Road upgrade, $26 million; Skilled Stadium stage three redevelopment, $25 million; and Geelong ring road section 4b and 4c, $23 million.

Torquay ‘set for two new schools’

Budget boost: Thali and Brooke, both five, at Torquay’s kinder with Tanba Rose. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 64083

BY ERIN PEARSON TORQUAY is set for new secondary and primary schools after this week’s state budget, according to South Barwon MP Andrew Katos. He said the budget included $5.5 million over the next 12 months for a new Torquay secondary school. A further $5.25 million would pay for land to build the town’s second primary school. Mr Katos said the budget would provide Torquay with its “largest ever” education investment. “I’m very proud to deliver this in my first budget. Now we’ll focus on releasing the final site for the primary and secondary schools in the next few weeks - it’s imminent.” Mr Katos said the total cost of the high school was $34.9 million. The land would cost $8.4 million and the building $26.5 million. Tuesday’s budget also included $2 million for an “early-learning hub” for Grovedale, $1 million for a new Barwon Heads’ kindergarten and $500,000 for expansion of Torquay’s kinder. Ward councillor Andy Richards praised the funding for Barwon Heads’ kindergarten.

No longer the ‘ugly duckling’

City now ‘hot for investing’ BY KIM WATERS GEELONG has transformed from an unfashionable “ugly duckling” into an attractive option for property investors, according to a new report. Your Investment Property magazine has identified the city as offering “better growth opportunities” than blue-chip Melbourne suburbs. The magazine’s Robin Christie said investors previously considered Geelong “unfashionable”. But new research revealed that the city’s growth potential outweighed the risks of buying in a city still regarded among outsiders as “less popular”, he said. “We’ve looked at a lot of factors including that house numbers have grown in recent years by 34 per cent, population growth has increased and the government is currently trying to take the pressure off Melbourne by encouraging investment in regional areas. “The delivery of the first stage of the ring road, the redevelopment of Westfield and the relocation of the transport and accident commission to Geelong are also indicators that Geelong’s economy is on the up. “And with the city’s low rental vacancy rates, investors can have their pick of tenants.” Fruit Property Geelong director

Benefits: Peter Julian. Peter Julian said investors previously considered Geelong a “working class” town with a focus on heavy industry. “Now the whole place is being seen in a new light,” he said. “The unfashionable tag comes from the past and should by now be well and truly shaken off. Investors will continue to benefit from property in Geelong, with

options of rental returns around six per cent.” Mr Julian said “those in the know” realised the city offered savings of “at least 40 to 60 per cent” on house prices and living expenses compared to capital cities. “I speak to doctors and lawyers who tell me about friends and colleagues in Melbourne or Sydney and just how much it costs them and the lifestyle is nowhere near as good as Geelong or our coast,” Mr Julian said. “We have the best schools, beaches and housing affordability.” The Independent reported last month that a leading property values researcher had run an analysis showing perceptions of a “crisis” in central Geelong’s retail property market were wrong. Opteon Victoria’s Richard Jenkins said the city had an acceptable vacancy rate that could fall into an ideal zone of less than five per cent with subdivision of only six large vacant spaces. “There’s been a lot of discussion in the media about vacancies in the CBD, leading to a perception in the market that the space is in crisis but the numbers don’t support that,” Mr Jenkins said. “The CBD is healthy and in a good position to promote rental growth. In fact, rents have grown in the past five years.”

April showers come along but finally below average APRIL rain across most of the Geelong-Otways region was slightly below average for the first time in the last nine months, with 40mm recorded compared to 42mm. The big exception was the Bellarine Peninsula around Drysdale and Clifton Springs where gauges recorded over 70mm for the month, exceeding the average by over 50 per cent. This was mainly due to localised, heavy rain of 50mm on April 11 and 12th. On the same days the rest of Geelong received around 25mm. However, rain from February to April in the region was clearly above average, despite Bureau of Meteorology’s warning to expect only a 40 to 45 per cent chance of average rains for the period. The La Nina situation continues but is weakening as predicted. As for temperatures, April in Geelong was .45C cooler than the long-term average, according to raw temperature figures recorded at Geelong Airport’s weather station. The average daily maximum was 20C compared to the long-term 20.3C and average minimum was 8.9C compared to 9.5C. The top temperature was 27.7 C

Under the weather LINDSAY SMAIL on April 9 and the lowest maximum was 16.2C on the 19th. Minimums ranged from 5C on April 11 to 16.1C on the 9th. In terms of temperature predictions, again the Bureau of Meteorology got it quite wrong. In its three-monthly outlook for February to April, the bureau predicted an over-80-per-cent chance Geelong’s daily maximum temperatures would be above average but in each month the maximums were below average by well over .5C. As for other weather phenomena, April was generally very settled with only one strong wind day when gusts reached 65km/h on the 9th day of the month. Several foggy days were recorded as high-pressure systems dominated in the second half of the month. The region’s water catchments finished the month still hovering around 73 per cent of capacity despite a relaxation of restrictions.

Theatre on wings DESPITE perception as being a football town, Geelong has always had a strong arts and culture core. The strength of the case for funding the city’s new arts and culture precinct can thank the many small theatre companies, musical groups and individuals who keep Geelong’s arts lights shining. One of them is Elaine and Denis Mitchell’s Theatre of the Winged Unicorn at Ceres. The couple have pursued their labour of love for more than 20 years, offering hundreds of local actors, musicians and stage hands opportunities to learn about their respective crafts. “We’re a very intimate theatre. We work in the round with small audiences,” Elaine confided.

Join the club JOHN VAN KLAVEREN “We have a pool of about 100 actors we call on as well as musicians from jazz to classical. “Part of what we want to do is extend people’s skills and confidence.” Elaine said the company’s current production, What the Dickens!, was a case in point. “There’s a team of 15 actors working on this and we have thrown them a whole lot of

characters. The actors have had to do a lot of research into the production. “But we’ve also watched them develop because they rise to the challenge.” Elaine described the production as an entertaining evening with a kaleidoscope of characters playing out scenes from 12 of Charles Dickens’ novels. Classic Dickensian characters such as Mr Pickwick, Miss Havisham, Mr Guppy, Mrs Gamp, Scrooge, Madame Defarge, Lizzie Hexam and Little Dorrit grace the stage. Theatre of the Winged Unicorn has a varied program but favours work from the 19th Century classics. Elaine said the company aimed to be self-reliant in its production of quality classical and original work presented in

“creative artistic performances”. The company presents its shows in the historic sandstone Ceres Hall, built in 1862. “The best way for people who may be interested in the theatre is to come along and see how we work and what we do,” Elaine said. “We don’t hold major auditions but we’re happy to have people come and talk to us.” Elaine said What the Dickens! would run from May 13 to May 22. She offered two tickets to anyone interested in joining the company. Elaine said more information about joining Theatre of the Winged Unicorn was available by phoning 5249 1350, emailing nimbus.em@hotmail.com or visiting www.theatreofthewingedunicorn.com.au.

BUCKETS to dog owners who don’t pick up after their pets. Nothing is worse than having a lovely walk but seeing massive doggy doos on the Barwon River path. Council, please implement stricter fines and more bag holders. Dog Lover, Newtown

BOUQUETS to a lovely couple who stopped to pick up a confused gentleman walking his dog and delivered both back to where he was staying on the Wednesday before Easter. Thank You, Portarlington BUCKETS to the lack of public toilets in central Geelong. While shopping with my elderly parents we were constantly frustrated trying to find facilities to relieve ourselves, especially with one of our group suffering incontinence problems. No wonder the streets are filthy after weekends. Peed Off, Drysdale BUCKETS to a pharmacy for charging up to double on prescriptions. Customers, beware. I will no longer shop there. So much for supporting local business. Joan, St Albans Park

BOUQUETS to all the nurses, plastic surgeons and administration staff at Geelong Hospital for wonderful care given to me during my recent emergency. Barbara, Ocean Grove BUCKETS to City of Greater Geelong and VicRoads for not scanning dead animals on main roads for microchips. I still don’t know whether our cat, Henry, is alive or dead. Why do we register and microchip our pets? It’s a disgrace! Outraged, Batesford BOUQUETS to the motorists who tooted and flashed to warn me my friend’s beloved cat was riding atop my car as I turned onto Pakington Street last week. Bouquets also to the drivers who swerved to avoid hitting her when she jumped off the roof after I stopped. Close Call Kitty, Newtown BOUQUETS to Josh, of Mount Duneed, for kindly handing in my black purse at Panache Waurn Ponds. I owe you a coffee. Gayle, Grovedale

BOUQUETS to Dianne, who found my wallet in Ryrie Street last Friday. Being an aged pensioner, I had all my cards and personal details in my wallet. I panicked at the thought of having to cancel everything. Kevin, Grovedale BUCKETS to Annoyed (Buckets and Bouquets, April 29). You neglected to say the item you could not reach was in the window display, which is a no-go zone in any shop. You are only annoyed because you were asked to pay for the item you broke.

Councillor set for trip to New York A GEELONG councillor will fly to New York to “demonstrate Geelong’s readiness” for Australia’s national broadband network. Cr Rod Macdonald said he would attend an “Intelligent Communities Forum” from June 1

to 3 for an “insight” into the benefits of “early adoption of broadband infrastructure”. “It will be valuable for us to discover how local leaders in different communities were able to achieve change and develop new and innovative ways of applying

the technology.” According to the website of Intelligent Community Forum, the Building the Broadband Economy summit in New York from June 1 to 3 will feature “keynote speeches, interactive discussions and community case studies”.

High school blame goes back to Labor

Expedient: Ian Trezise. day nor six months ago. The Bracks and Brumby governments’ presided over an era of record low unemployment and interest rates, so they needn’t have waited until the last state election to get around to going into bat for Geelong

Mayor in a poke ON THE question of a directly elected mayor for Geelong, who may benefit and who would pay under such a system? It is clear mayoral election costs would be at least 10 times that of ward councillors and hopefuls would need all the support from all the factional and ginger groups they could get. An elected lord mayor would not be free to do as they pleased but would be heavily obliged to groups behind the scenes and, we may suppose, be directed from Melbourne. The benefit would be to business and lobby groups, not the people of Geelong. Victoria parliamentary secretary for local government David Morris has not explained this. Would the mayor be obliged to submit matters to committees or even council? Could ward councillors overrule and veto the mayor? How would conflicts be resolved? The proposal for a directly elected mayor is exceedingly a work in progress. We would be buying, as they say, a pig in a poke. Since the obvious and serious concern is that of stalemate and conflict in local government, I fear that what is being tried, but which Mr Morris cannot say, is replacement of our democratic system with an autocratic one in which the representatives of the people and the people themselves would not be heard. This is put forward to us as a false plea to trust the people. The Liberals must abandon this policy for Geelong. Peter Linaker Ocean Grove

Criminal blunders STATE Government’s ramblings about the dire situation of state finances are nothing new. When Jeff Kennett assumed power he declared immediately that the state was broke and implemented a radical paring of state expenditures. The only difference in the Liberals’ approach this time is in predicting a bereft future. The profligacy of the previous government was always evident. The Spencer Street station redevelopment was aptly called, by the building workers, “Treasure Island”. Reworkings of the design and other stuffups meant a longer job life and increased earnings for them. The desalination plant and the former Labor government’s penchant for “public/private partnerships” were a huge drain on public finances, with the efficacy of these projects being questionable at least for the cost involved. It may be fine to remonstrate about the previous government’s wastefulness but there is no penalty for this and readers will remember many instances of black holes left by outgoing governments. Barking about it will not rectify an oft-repeated problem. We will never know the true state of either the state or federal governments’ finances, only that the taxpayer is footing the bill and paying idiots good salaries and even-better pensions to perpetrate their clown acts. If the incumbent government is really serious it could find a way to criminalise this type of blundering by holding the instigators to account or by legislating for the end of public/private partnerships and the signing of secret contracts and for proper openness and accountability on expensive publicly-funded contracts. Gary Oraniuk Geelong

Fear of rates VICTORIAN councillors have professional indemnity insurance but there is no provision for a director’s guarantee. 12

The Independent, Friday May 6, 2011

High School. Mr Trezise has overlooked, let alone been party to, this political expediency. Equally at fault remains Australian Education Union, an ALP affiliate and bedfellow that needs in the short-term to reap what it hasn’t sown over a decade and a half. Coal-face classroom teachers have been short-changed, so too school communities. In many instances performance bonus payments have been a hindrance rather than a help, which is an issue in itself. Geelong High and company need to crank up the rage but also check in the rearview mirror to more equitably distribute the blame. Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Full disclosure is not standard practice, so councils have no need to be either prudent or accountable. Local government is not restricted or bound by commercial reality such as company law, which prevents a company trading while insolvent. Alarmingly, if a council is unable to meet its debts it can increase rates and charges provided they do not exceed fiscal restraints imposed by the Local Government Act Unfortunately, Surf Coast Shire rates rank thirdhighest in Victoria, with no account taken of older people’s ability to pay. Council simply totals up what it would like to spend, which becomes the amount required, which, in turn, determines rates and charges. Budget deliberations continue behind closed doors, which makes transparency non-existent and accountably something to dream about. The bitter pill is that the public will continue to be excluded from effective input from budget and financial processes and be continually inflicted with rate hikes, which is unacceptable and inexcusable. Council does not have a monopoly on wisdom, so community consultation should be sought to address setting the dollar amount council will raise from rates and charges, any figure for differential rates, determining criteria for hardship relief and input to formulating a list of capital items. Elected in November, 2008, Surf Coast’s council has had enough time to settle into the job and be mature enough to overcome any problems with anthropophobia, which is the fear of people. Ray Gully Torquay

Online option for rates payments ity of Greater Geelong residents now have the option to track and pay their rates notice totally online. Using BPAY View, residents will be able to receive and view their bills using their existing internet banking service. Plus, residents who register to receive their rates notice by BPAY View go in the running for $1000 cash. Everyone who registers before 30 June, 2011, is immediately entered into the draw, with the winner to be drawn on 1 July, 2011. BPAY View provides customers with the choice

to pay immediately or schedule payments for a later date, which is helpful for ensuring bills are paid on time. As well as being convenient, choosing to receive bills online is another way residents can reduce their environmental impact by cutting down on paper usage. Anyone interested can register by logging on to their internet banking service, selecting the BPAY View tab and following the prompts to register a bill. Once the first rates notice is registered all future notices will be sent electronically only.

Westfield day for fundraiser estfield Geelong will run a major fundraising drive on May 21 to help local children with disabilities and their families. Westfield’s Give Ability Day will seek to raise much-needed funds for local charity Gateways Support Services, which helps children with disabilities. Shoppers, retailers and centre staff will have the opportunity to dig deep and donate what they can at Westfield Geelong to raise money to support children and their families in the community. To celebrate Give Ability Day and encourage people to donate, Westfield Geelong will host lots of family fun including a sausage sizzle from 10am to 3pm. Centre manager Jonathan Codman says Give Ability Day is

“an important local fundraising drive and will become an annual community event”. “Westfield is very proud to partner with Gateways Support Services, which does an amazing job with helping a very special part of our local community,” Mr Codman says. “This is our first Give Ability Day and we encourage everyone to come down on Saturday, 21 May, to donate what you can to help. “Westfield Geelong will pull out all the stops to raise as much money as possible for Gateways Support Services. With 1 in 14 Australian children living with a disability, this is a chance for the local community to make a real difference.” Gateways Support Services

respite and recreation manager Vicki Cameron has praised Westfield for initiating the fundraiser. Give Ability Day is part of a national Westfield Community Program established to help provide support for children with disabilities and their families. Under the program every Westfield centre across Australia partners with a local children’s disability provider, giving centre staff, retailers and shoppers the opportunity to make a difference to families in their own local community. Give Ability Day will run across 37 Westfield centres on May 21. More information is available at westfield.com.au.

WHILE it’s a disgrace that Geelong High School’s $20 million upgrade has been shelved by a tardy Baillieu Government, the same can be said for Torquay’s inadequate keeping-pace program, umpteen other school maintenance issues and the stipend for teachers rather than a salary commensurate with the demands of the job. Geelong Labor MP Ian Trezise’s “joke” summation of Geelong High School’s funding omission needs to be put in context. While it’s essential that Geelong High, which for a century has cultured and delivered fine students into the community, reverses its bum-steer deal, it didn’t transpire yester-

Feeling sceptical IF GLOBAL warming is such a grave threat to mankind, as Labor and the doomsayers would have us believe, there can be no case for carbon tax compensation for consumers, rich or poor alike. However, things are not always as they seem. Despite all the apocalyptic predictions by Tim Flannery, Ross Garnaut and other doomsayers, people are just not buying it. The problem for Julia Gillard is that people can see and feel. We can see that dams are overflowing and we can feel the cold. Moreover, for those who wish to see further, science tells us the globe has cooled in the past 10 years and only risen by .7C in the past 100 years. Moreover, even Mr Flannery, when pressed, admitted the carbon tax will not lower temperatures by even a fraction of a degree. Hmm, the folly of our time. Brian Handley Geelong

Shed-load of cash LEUKAEMIA Foundation would like to thank all involved in the Wharf Shed Cafe challenge, which raised an incredible $53,000 for the foundation. The cafe was transformed for 100 days as staff wore foundation T-shirts and balloons and bunting decorated the premises to support the cause. In addition, the cafe ran raffles for every $10 donation and a special prize was awarded to the customer who donated the most in a single donation. The money raised will provide support for patients and families living with blood cancer and help fund research into causes, better treatments and cures. Leukaemia Foundation would like to thank the cafe’s management for encouraging staff to organise the fundraising activities. Special thanks go to the staff who donated all tips to foundation and also to customers who generously donated. Stephanie Hechenberger Leukaemia Foundation general manager Victoria and Tasmania

Merita designs homeware fun BY MERITA MANNINGS et me introduce myself. My name is Merita Mannings and it’s nice to meet you. My little shop, Design Doctor, opened about eight weeks ago with not much fanfare - but lots of love - in Minerva Road, Herne Hill. Why Herne Hill, you ask? Well, my children walk up to the shop from the local primary school and I thought the residents would certainly enjoy some fun and functional design! I come from an interior-design and mother-of-four background with a belief that your home should be filled with things that make you smile.

handbags, clothing and accessories. Lots of what you’ll find can be traced back to customers’ favourite designers, some of which are proudly local and others from France, America and Sweden. Other bits and bobs, new and vintage, are sourced simply because we love them. There’s also a little play nook for the children. We gift-wrap - although I need some practice - and you may even witness a spinning top demonstration. Design can be fun! Oh, I’m also venturing onto Facebook and, yes, I promise to update my blog.

You have the ability to support a local family living with disability.

Silvio’s Pako pizza perfection secret, original Italian pizza recipe handed down over eight generations has reinforced Newtown Pizza’s reputation for upmarket, gourmet offerings. Proprietor Silvio Salta is a 35year master pizzaiolo who has seen trends come and go in Geelong but believes the old ways are still the best. “All our pizzas are handmade to order and slow cooked in a stonebase gas-fired bakery oven,” Silvio explains. “Time is an ingredient. “We make our pizzas just like we used to at home in Italy. “It’s all about quality, not quan-

tity. We don’t use mechanised pizza makers. “Our customers appreciate it and, when you have good customers like we do, it’s a pleasure to be here for them.” Silvio says Newtown Pizza was one of the first restaurants to offer gourmet and gluten-free pizzas. His most popular product is still the Newtown Special, which has stood the test of time because of its combination of tomato, cheese, hot salami, peppers, onion, king prawns, smoked mussels, garlic and herbs. The same care and quality goes into Silvio’s homemade pastas including lasagne, spaghetti bolog-

naise, ravioli and fettuccine carbonara. But its his gourmet pizzas that take pride of place – the ever-popular Torino, the smooth Sicilian, the biting Calabrese along with the Traditional, the Trapini and Milanese. All this quality is offered in five sizes: small, medium, large, family and super-large. Newtown Pizza is open from 5pm to 10 pm Monday to Thursday and Sunday and until 11pm Friday and Saturday at 1/337 Pakington St Newtown. Phone Newtown Pizza on 5223 1272.

Glen from Ocean Grove started his new business venture, Pride in Ur Ride, back in October. Pride in Ur Ride is a motorcycle and car detailing business that offers the finest in tailored car detailing solutions for all types of vehicles. This business was born from a passion to create stunning vehicles Pride in Ur Ride will be proud of. Glen has been amazed at the amount of interest the business has received and has given up his full-time job as a technician in telecommunications to focus on the new venture that he has a passion for. “I have always had a passion for anything that shines and has an engine, much to my wife’s’ dismay,” he said. I am now able to cover Geelong & The Bellarine and am happy to arrange to fit in around times and locations to suit my customers. Photo samples of my work can be found on my website, I encourage people to check them out to give them confidence that their vehicle is in safe hands. Glen hopes his monthly specials make it affordable for people to keep their vehicles in good shape and therefore hold their value. What he hopes makes his service a little different is that clients can choose services, based on hourly rates and he is keen to take on restorations of all cars and motorcycles. “Some of these take up to a week and longer; they’re parked safely during this time and when customers have seen the results they have been impressed”, he said.

I have already worked with various Harleys, pretty much all the Japanese bikes and the Italian stable and Alfas, Audis, BMWs, Chevys, Holdens, Fords…the list goes on”.

“I have been looking for a detailer with more than just a run of the mill service to help maintain some unique motorcycles and cars for awhile; I was given Glen’s details by a friend who saw his advertisement locally. Glen’s attention to detail coupled with an unrivalled enthusiasm and passion has literally reignited my passion in riding and customising my wheels, his services extend far beyond a simple detail but offered extensive knowledge in setting up my bikes for my riding style, weight and my own personal ideas of what I wanted. The bikes I took out of his garage are a totally different set up I went in with, they now handle and look like different bikes and ride and perform set up to my exact requirements, couldn’t compliment his ability and service enough, will be a long term customer!

A night of pet sounds

Puppy love: Delia, 8, Evette, 9, Mia, 5, and Tess, 5, with Geelong Animal Welfare Society’s “permanent resident” Buddy. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 64059

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG children will band together to raise money for unwanted animals with a charity concert. Geelong Youth Choir music director Denise Hollingworth said young members had inspired the group to help the city’s animal welfare centre with a special performance at Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus in June. She said many families in the choir had adopted pets from Geelong Animal Welfare Society and wanted to give back to the organisation. “It’s something the kids really wanted to do,” Hollingworth said. “The whole animal welfare thing is really close to a lot of children’s hearts. “The children already signed up for this program are really excited about the opportunity to help the animals. Some have adopted their pets from the centre and are extra-passionate about being involved in supporting the centre.” Ms Hollingworth said the “big job” of putting on the show would also offer the choir’s young members a meaningful way of contributing to their community. Geelong Animal Welfare Society’s Nadine Williams said she hoped the

fundraiser would help with the centre’s running costs. “It does cost a lot for food, bills, vehicle costs and maintenance of the place,” Williams said. “The community donates a lot of great things but the bills just don’t stop. “I think the event will also provide an opportunity for parents to teach their children more about pets. Lately we’ve been seeing a lot of cruelty cases, so now more than ever is the perfect time to start educating people on how to look after animals. “Even if you have a house full of pets and can’t adopt you can always help in other ways and learning to sing and showing emotion that way can be a very nice thing.” Hollingworth said anyone who wanted to participate in the concert should contact the choir. The group would have four weeks of rehearsals starting this month before the performance at Deakin University’s KD Stewart Centre on June 5. Geelong Youth Choir was founded in 1988 to provide young people in the community with access to “high-quality music education”.

WHY ARE WE THE BEST? PERSONAL ONE TO ONE SUPPORT

LOSING WEIGHT WITH MANDY FISHER the rest of our lives. Being overweight is simply the result of overeating. Underweight is the opposite. To be in our healthy weight range we need to consider our portion sizes and a sound nutritional balance within our food choices. This does not mean deprivation but eating a little of everything in the right portion sizes. The Weight Works program shows you how to use normal supermarket food to do this. Join The Weight Works now by phoning: Geelong West, 5221 2333; Leopold, 5250 1015; Norlane, 5275 0971; or visit www.theweightworks.com.au.

ational TV and press have recently featured reports criticising the use of waif-thin models by famous fashion houses to promote their products, allegedly increasing the incidence of anorexia. This has also fuelled the debate that promotion of larger-size models wearing large-size clothing is promoting obesity. Neither condition promotes a healthy lifestyle. They can have dire consequences with serious health issues. National Healthy Guidelines state that a woman of average height - 165cm or 5’5” - should weigh approximately a maximum of 66kg to 68kg. This is the range the body is designed to function within for that height. The guidelines are put out for a very good reason: if we are within our healthy weight range we give our bodies the opportunity of functioning at their maximum efficiency. Also, Cancer Council of Victoria says our waistlines should be no more than 85cm for a woman and 100cm for a man regardless of height. Unfortunately, a major part of our population doesn’t fit within these guidelines and puts itself at risk of serious health issues. We should look at choosing a healthy lifestyle for

This is a cracker of a diesel putting out a massive 392Nm of torque. Topping the range is the Highlander which comes only with the turbodiesel and auto transmission. It adds 18-inch alloy wheels, panoramic glass roof, electric folding mirrors, leather upholstery, heated seats, rear view camera, dual zone air-conditioning and six stack CD and upgraded audio system. The vehicle is a genuine five seater with the rear seat offering plenty of leg and headroom, but with tight shoulder room for three adults. With the seats up ix35 has a generous luggage capacity of 591 litres which increases to 1436 litres with the rear seat folded down. The ix35 has Hyundai’s fiveyear/unlimited kilometre warranty. Like all manufacturers Hyundai has become more fuel efficient and engaged Hans Tholstrup to drive a Highlander on an economy run from Melbourne to Adelaide and return on one tank of fuel. The result was 1446 km using 72.23 litres at 4.8 litres per 100 kilometres. This compares favourably with the official combined urban/highway figure of 7.5 litres/100 km. The official figures for the petrol engines are 8.5 litres/100km from the 2.0-litre with manual gearbox and 9.2 L/100km from the 2.4-litre.

BY ERIC BLAIR yundai has upgraded its compact SUV, the most important feature of which is a change of name from Tucson to ix35, in line with the company’s ongoing naming style. The South Korean car maker has been going through a boom period. Hyundai sales more than doubled in 2009 and in January 2010 alone sales world-wide were up 50 per cent and in Australia up by 68 per cent. “Our growth is built on one thing – quality,” said Hyundai Australia CEO, Edward Lee. Hyundai ix35 has three trim levels: Active, Elite and Highlander. It also comes with a choice of three engines: two petrol and a new R-Series turbodiesel. The ix35 also launches the Hyundai family-look hexagonal grille which will follow in all new Hyundai vehicles. The ix35 Active replaces the Tucson City as the front-wheel drive model and is powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine that puts out 122 kW of power through a five-speed manual or sixspeed auto shifter with sequential changer. It comes well-equipped with six airbags, stability control, hill start assist, 17-inch steel wheels, keyless entry and alarm, electric driver’s seat, Aux and USB port with iPod compatibility, and steering wheel mounted audio and cruise controls. The next trim level, Elite adds allwheel drive and comes with the choice of 2.4-litre petrol or 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine but only with six-speed automatic. In addition Elite gets roof

The services offered at Barwon Tyre Centre include wheel alignment, tyre rotation and puncture repair, balancing and suspension repairs which help deliver optimum performance and prolong the life of a tyre. The father and son team behind the business has more than 40 years of combined experience and is dedicated to providing the highest standard of tyre and mechanical repairs. After many years of working for Barwon Tyre Centre, owner Graeme McMahon took over the business three years ago. Graeme and his son Luke are eager to assist existing customers and build on the businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already extensive clientele base.

sport Seagulls to challenge lofty Lara LARA and North Shore clash out at the Snakepit on Saturday in Geelong Football Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match of the day. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to like about North Shore this year and it appears to have emerged from a horror three-year period when it was the league whipping boy. Its year started off with a win over Newtown and has followed up with good performances against St Josephs and St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, although with a bit of luck it could have won both games. Ex-Collingwood star Paul Licuria will make an appearance for the Seagulls and will bolster a side already boasting former Geelong players Will Slade and James Byrne. The return of locally bred stars Nathan Peoples and James Chandler will also help. It must be heartening for North Shore president David Milsome to see the crowds returning to watch the stricken club and the range of ex-players showing their support. Lara has won two out of three games and is on track to playing finals again this year but will know that North Shore is on the up and will come out firing. These two have a fierce rivalry and always put on a good display and this game will be no different. Expect Lara to win by a matter of points. Other selections: BELL PARK v St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, COLAC v Leopold, West Saints v ST JOSEPHS, SOUTH BARWON v Grovedale, St Albans v NEWTOWN.

BFL

Local Footy FRANK MASON of two losses and two wins. This is a good result considering the loss of key players over summer. Shaun Wells, Mitch Scott and Jake Basterfield are doing their best and, with a few players set to return to the side this week, the Hawks will be more than competitive. Ocean Grove at home is hard to toss and Drysdale will find the Grubbers a bit too good. Other selections: ANGLESEA v Modewarre, Portarlington v BARWON HEADS, AMATEURS v Newcomb, TORQUAY v Queenscliff.

GDFL East Geelong sits clear on top of Geelong and District Football Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ladder with no losses and a huge percentage. As expected, a huge influx of quality recruits has resulted in good performances on the field. A side that has Lucas Murphy, Ryan Closter and Adam Skrobalak in its forward line is always going to be hard to stop. The Eagles are now the hunted side in the competition and on Saturday Anakie pays a visit to have a crack at them. Anakie is no easy beat this year, with three wins and one loss to its name and is playing just as coach Dan Gibbs likes. Jamie Pitman, Nick Costello and Corey Collins are playing good footy and will have a real crack at beating the Eagles on their home turf. Unfortunately, their best wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be good enough but East wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have everything their own way. Other selections: Werribee Centrals v NORTH GEELONG, BELL POST HILL v Winchelsea, INVERLEIGH v Geelong West, Corio v THOMSON, Belmont Lions v BANNOCKBURN.

Cu r

Ocean Grove has jumped to second spot on Bellarine Football Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ladder but will find out whether it has what it takes to be a real contender when it hosts Drysdale on Saturday. The Grubbers have only lost one game and have the best percentage in the league but may not have played the strongest sides in the competition yet. Still, the Grubbers would be happy with their position and the performances of Greg Costello, Cade Wellington and Ben Ricardo. Drysdale has had a tough draw but is still sitting in the top five with a record

Rainbow connection: Frank Benvenuto with a nice rainbow trout from Lake Bullen Merri.

Corio Bay harbouring big autumn snapper FANTASTIC conditions greeted anglers over the past week, with the settled conditions helping produce quality snapper from Corio Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inner and outer harbours. Terry Miller fished directly out from St Helens boat ramp where he had only just cast out when his first rod folded with a nice fish of 4.1kg. Over the following hour he landed two more just over 5kg each, with all his fish taken on squid-baited Snapper Snatchers. Noel Sharp enjoyed similar results, taking six fish from 2.3kg to 5.8kg over two outings. Snapper snatchers also did the trick for Noel. Brendan Sheedy fished soft plastics along Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterfront to nail numbers of snapper, with Squidgy Wrigglers in the Bloodworm colour deadly just on and after dark. Snapper were also taken in numbers from the nine-foot bank as well as the Corvette Hole, especially in the evening and after dark. Simon Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Antino lived up to his reputation for catching snapper with some big fish from the deep water off Portarlington. Simon and his mates had little trouble landing their bag limits of big fish on both bait and soft plastics. Terry Grieves also found success in the 20metre depth off Portarlington, catching six fish to 8.7kg over two outings. St Helens was a magnet for both anglers and salmon, with the better numbers taken with either soft plastics or small, metal baitfish-profile lures. The key to catching salmon from the bay has been matching the size of the whitebait on which the fish have been feeding. The best salmon fishing was from close to shore in the outer-harbour between

On the bite BRIAN LONG Alcoa Pier and Hermsely as well as from Bird Rock to Point Wilson. Stingaree Bay produced nice bags of whiting, with South Australian pippies clearly the best bait and the run-up to high tide ideal. Whiting were also taken in close to the quarries and directly out from Avalon Beach. The fishing was consistent either side of high tide on pippies and mussel. Hermsleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spoil grounds also produced good numbers of whiting in around 3.5m of water. Grassy Point rewarded Geoff and Noel Mathews with a bag-limit of whiting, some pushing 42cm, on the run-up to high tide. When the water went slack the fishing went quiet until the tide started moving again and the action resumed. Squid gathered along the south shore grass beds from Leopold all the way to Queenscliff, with the best in shallow water with small, natural-coloured jigs. Graeme Spalding fished the entrance to Swan Bay for a variety of species. Garfish and whiting dominated the catch but a couple of salmon and two nice silver trevally made for a mixed bag. Conditions were not ideal for chasing salmon in the surf but fish were still available from the rocks just before Lorne Pier.

I found any number of fish to just over 1kg while using small Braid Mauler lures, with the best fishing on the build-up to high tide. Apollo Bay again had plenty of boats chasing huge bluefin tuna. While not in big numbers, only one 100kg-plus specimen has to be caught to make the effort worthwhile. Higher success rates were avilable at Port Fairy and Portland where plenty of tuna were had, many from the 70m line. Geelong angler Frank Bluch has a pending world record bluefin tuna capture after taking a 14.37kg fish on 3kg fly tippet. Frank already holds a number of world records for various species captured in many parts of world. In freshwater, Lake Bullen Merri was the best choice for land-based anglers using Powerbait on running rigs fished close to shore. Frank Benvenuto nailed three nice rainbow trout, while Steve Parsons caught four rainbows and a brown on orange Powerbait. Lake Elingamite rewarded anglers with both big trout and redfin. Mudeye and minnow were successful baits, while a wide variety of lures were working. This weekend anglers should hit the bay for the big snapper on the run-up to high tide in the afternoon and also put in a couple of hours as the tide starts to run off while using fresh pilchards or fish fillets. Surf anglers should head to Eastern View at first light or, as the tide starts to rise, one of the deeper rock platforms between Lorne and Apollo Bay.
