Ex-councillor does numbers to reveal power bills ‘rip-off’ By NOEL MURPHY ELECTRICITY retailers are ripping off local customers by refusing to detail consumer use or charge proper tariff rates, according to a former Surf Coast councillor. Ron Humphrey said more than 3600 regional complaints to the Energy Ombudsman – from 70,000 across the state – had failed to prompt improved behaviour among power companies, including detailed Smart Meter bills. “A large number of the complaints relate to the back-dating of bills to consumers due to the non-readiness of the retail electricity industry to be able to read the data provided to them by infrastructure companies that own and monitor the Smart Meters,” Mr Humphrey said. “This is due to the inadequacies of their software. Many retailer electricity providers’ software could not read the ancillary (hot water) meters of their customers, which led to backdated bills of up to a year.” Mr Humphrey claimed his retailer, Power Direct, had altered his “time of use” data, overstating his peak power use by more than 40 per cent and over-charging him more than $600 over three quarterly bills. Power Direct’s overcharging could affect another 4000 customers in the region, he said. “I’m just a two-person house. How much are families being overcharged a year?” Mr Humphrey called on State Government to “step in and act on the protections the public was promised when Smart Meters were rolled out”. “Unfortunately, there’s no simple way to read your time-of-use data because Smart Meters don’t allow it but energy retailers are obliged by law to provide that data.” Mr Humphrey urged power customers on time-of-use plans to ask for the power-usage spreadsheet, which shows time and energy consumed in half-hour increments. A Powercor spokesman said the company collected power-use data, which it forwarded to To Page 5 power retailers.

New fear for Alcoa By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN
NEW documents about Alcoa of Australia’s operations suggest its Point Henry smelter will close next year, according to the Greens. Victorian Greens leader Greg Barber said the documents showed Alcoa generated last financial year’s $100 million profit solely from a State Government power subsidy, due to end in seven months. “It’s pretty clear from these
documents that the whole of Alcoa’s profit comes from the Government’s energy subsidy,” Mr Barber said. “When that ends in July next year they’ll shut the smelter, sure as night follows day. Then all we’ll have left is a polluting power station. “It appears to me they’re getting ready to close the smelter and keep running the mine and power plant for profit.” The Independent revealed last year that Alcoa had confirmed its
Anglesea power station would remain operational even if the Point Henry smelter was closed. The smelter has been under a cloud since Alcoa announced an operational review of the facility. A state and federal government bailout kept the plant open, saving 600 jobs until mid2014. The Independent also reported in April that Alcoa was using hardship provisions to terminate a long-term multi-million dollar deal to buy electricity for its
Point Henry smelter from AGL. Alcoa applied for an electricity generation licence for supply or sale for its Anglesea power station when the company’s State Electricity Commission of Victoria (SECV) agreement ends on 31 July 2014. In its application, the company told the Essential Services Commission it needed the generation licence because it was not covered under the SECV agreement. An Alcoa spokesperson said
the licence application was to enable the Anglesea power station to continue generating and transmitting power to Point Henry. The spokesperson disputed that Alcoa’s profit was matched by a subsidy from state government. “It is incorrect to say Alcoa receives an energy subsidy from the state government through the SECV. Alcoa has a contract where the tariff increases and decreases in line with the world aluminium price.”

GEELONG’S “filthy little secret” - family violence - jumped an alarming 44 per cent across Geelong in the past year, according to new police figures. Domestic assaults climbed to a total 953 in the 12 months to the end of September in contrast to the 664 recorded at the same time the previous year. Overall assaults climbed almost 16 per cent, from 1599 to 1851. Victorian Police chief Ken Lay this week described family violence as one of Australia’s “filthy little secrets”. But Victoria Police’s statement on the crime statistics, released two days after White Ribbon Day, highlighting violence against women, failed to

acknowledge the problem, focusing instead on other assaults. “Assaults excluding family violence are proving challenging for our members,” Inspector Adrian Bickley said. “To address this issue, local police are working with licensed venue operators, their staff, the City of Greater Geelong and local taxi providers to reduce violence in the central activities area and surrounds.” Insp Bickley said crimes against the person remained “a significant concern”, citing “major operations focussing on public order” in central Geelong. Family violence rated one sentence in the statement. “Local police, with the assistance of the Family Violence Unit (FVU) continue to target family violence assaults and recidivist
offenders,” Insp Bickley said. Zena Women’s Service manager Claire Yeatman said her agency received up to 155 referrals for family violence each month in Geelong. “Family violence affects children, parents, grandparents, there’s trauma, post-trauma stress disorder and whatever else, victims of crime - the implications can be huge,” she said. “About 70 of those referrals are being seen by us for further support.” Ms Yeatman said Zena worked “really closely” with the FVU, whose members she described as “fantastic”. Geelong’s family violence figures might be higher because women had become more confident about reporting violent incidents, she said.

Our soldiers in return from Afghanistan war By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THREE Geelong soldiers have returned from Afghanistan’s front lines with mixed emotions: happy to be home but leaving a part of themselves in Uruzgan province. Sergeant Nick Barrand, Lance Corporal Daniel Taylor and Corporal Tom Reynolds spent tours of duty in Tarin Kot disarming explosive devices, avoiding snipers and watching for enemy infiltrators. Despite living with day-to-day tension imposed by ever-present danger, the soldiers said leaving was difficult after investing so much time and effort into securing the area. Bell Post Hill’s Sgt Barrand and Corio’s Lce Corp Taylor, of the 1st Combat Engineer Regiment, are now back at their Adelaide base. Corp Reynolds discharged from the Australian Army after returning from his second tour of duty and has settled with wife Tamie at Ocean Grove. The couple expect their first child in June. Sgt Barrand said he knew it was time for Australia to finish its mission in Afghanistan. “I’m happy to return to my family and for the opportunity to see everyone again. However, I made
WAR IS OVER: Daniel Taylor, Nick Barrand and Tom Reynolds in Afghanistan. some good friends over there and it was difficult to leave them behind,” he said. “The environment over there meant that we forged very close relationships with the Afghans and the knowledge that the Afghan soldiers are still conducting dangerous tasks does play on your mind.”
As sappers, Sgt Barrand and Lce Cpl Taylor advised the Afghan army’s counter IED team on disarming the deadly explosive devices, which Taliban insurgents used in their guerrilla war. Lce Cpl Taylor said he enjoyed his seven months in Afghanistan. “It’ll be a sombre moment when the final soldiers leave the province because we’ve invested a large effort into improving the conditions for the people that live in Uruzgan. “However, I was pleased to get home and see my family again. It takes a toll on your body and mind just being away from your family for that length of time. “I think I now have a much better appreciation of the simple freedoms we enjoy in Australia.” Mr Reynolds admitted he was “loving” being back in Geelong close to family and friends despite missing his Afghan army mates. “I did two trips over there and hung out with the same guys. I miss those guys.” Mr Reynolds said only time would tell what the future held for Afghanistan. “We know we’ve given everything we can and we have to wait and see what they do.”
Zakhele and friends on the run to help orphanage By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN PLENTY of high-profile fun runs and surf swims feature along the region’s coast every summer but a relatively lowkey event this weekend might be the most poignant. Eleven-year-old Zakhele Stevens is organising the Sail to Surf fun run at Torquay on Saturday to raise funds for the South African orphanage in which he was raised. Adopted by Torquay’s Stevens family, Zakhele and two Torquay College mates have raised about $500 so far. “It started as a school community action project,” mum Dianne Stevens explained. “He got up in front of the class and explained what it’s all about. He’s received pledges from all over the world, so the response has been really great.” Mrs Stevens worked in community development for UNICEF and Save the Children, helping Zakhele with his international contacts. The family adopted Zakhele while in southern Africa and later returned for his adoptive sister, Lindiwe. “He was only two when we adopted him, so he understood a bit more when we went back to adopt Lindiwe,” Mrs Stevens said.
Drugs stolen POLICE are investigating the theft of dangerous drugs from an ambulance branch at Lara. A Victoria Police spokesperson said thieves broke into the Mill Rd premises to steal drugs including fentanyl and morphine, which can be lethal if taken in excessive doses.
Co-op secured BOROUGH of Queenscliffe has completed a long battle for control of an historic fishermen’s cooperative building in the municipality’s harbour precinct. Mayor Helene Cameron said council had been seeking control of the 1879 building for the past five years, with plans to integrate it with Queenscliffe Maritime Museum.
Food festival A WORLD of food will feature in a central Geelong laneway festival next Friday evening, organisers have announced. They said the free Food of the World Festival in Baylie Plc would offer everything from Hungarian to Sudanese dishes as well as cultural entertainment from 6.30pm to 9.30pm.
Safety installation A TAC installation will drive home a Christmas road safety message in Geelong’s Lt Malop St this Friday. A TAC spokesperson said the Ungiven Gifts display would allow visitors to leave a tribute to a loved one or make a pledge to drive safely this Christmas.
Board back GEELONG Football Club’s board has been returned unopposed for another three years. The club said the seven directors were the only nominations, so a ballot was not required onder the club’s constitution.
Mail promise THE head of Australia Post has promised performance standards will remain unaffected after Geelong letter-sorting moves to Dandenong, according to Corangamite MP Sarah Henderson. Ms Henderson said she was “delighted” with the news from Ahmed Fahour, who she met last week.

Picture: REG RYAN “I’m so proud of him that he’s so happy to be open and upfront about where he came from and wants to give back.” Mrs Stevens said the Tshepo Ya Bana children’s home, outside South African
capital Pretoria, needed the funds to paint and furnish a recently completed extension. “The home receives government foster care grants for some children but relies on donations,” she said.
Mrs Stevens said participants in Zakhele’s Sail to Surf event could walk or run between Torquay Sailing Club and the town’s surf beach from 4pm Saturday. Prizes would be available
to the participants who run the most legs or who wear the best costume. Ms Stevens said more information was available by emailing her at hopeforchildrentorquay@gmail.com.

New mayor goes global By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN
Electric ‘rip-off’ From page 1 The Energy and Water Ombudsman’s office suggested the Essential Services Commission might be better placed to comment on the matter. But the Essential Services Commission suggested enquiries should go to the Energy and Water Ombudsman’s office. A spokesperson for AGL, mother company of Power Direct, said Smart Meter details were available, on request, in 30-minute increments. “Power Direct advised the customer that they, as the energy retailer, are not responsible for the installation of smart meters and that customer accounts are sometimes backdated and rebilled as revised meter data is provided. “In this particular instance, it was not a case of bills being backdated but rather a hot water issue that was identified. “Power Direct notified the distributor to attend the site to assist and, in doing so, they identified that this customer had a second meter that records ancillary (hot water) usage. “The distributor provided this meter data to Power Direct and the customer’s account was recalculated to include this new data.”

LOOKING AHEAD: Mayor Darryn Lyons ponders the job ahead. 110898
GEELONG’S choice of Darryn Lyons as mayor has featured in global media, including the front page of Britain’s biggest-selling newspaper, the Daily Mail. Newly-installed Councillor Lyons said he was bombarded with a constant stream of national and international media interview requests since his election. “I’ve had 267 calls missed on my mobile, similar for text messages and 300 emails that I’ve not had a chance to get to.” Cr Lyons said he hoped to leverage the international interest to Geelong’s benefit. “This kind of coverage is rare for Geelong, from a marketing perspective for the city. As seen on TV, can build Geelong a brand very quickly. “I doubt there’s been anyone in Geelong’s mayoral history that has had this type of response. I think we’ve had more coverage than when Tony Abbott was elected.” Cr Lyons said the coverage, along with his “great relationships” among the famous, international superstars and journalists the world over, meant international businesses would “take note”. But some “mixed reviews” was part
and parcel of the media coverage, he said. “There’s been some tabloid wackiness but I don’t mind that. “People don’t realise I worked on some of the biggest shows on television, interviewed big names and every celebrity show from here to the end of the Earth is still being repeated in many, many countries.” Cr Lyons credited social media for generating a great deal of the coverage. “Twitter went absolutely nuts but it did show me that we need to get tech savvy because we’re way behind.” The new mayor said the amount of backgrounding and briefings he faced in his initiation to the job was “daunting”. “It’s local government - the pace compared to the way I run my businesses is very different. I have folders as thick as 10 Bibles to read. “But the staff have been great. They recognise that I’m decisive in what I want and we’re going through the process to try and get some of that done quickly. “There has to be adaptation on both sides, I’m totally understanding of that. They have a job to do and I do too. “Some personalities can deal with that and others can’t.”

NEW Mayor Darryn Lyons faces a smooth induction into City Hall, with two personal friends on council. Former mayors Stretch Kontelj and Bruce Harwood agreed that knowing the personality behind the celebrity would help ease the job orientation. Cr Kontelj said the election result promised “exciting times”, giving Cr Lyons a “strong mandate”. “Getting your head around the bureaucracy is not always straight forward like a corporate boardroom,” he said. Cr Kontelj said Cr Lyons would receive “an enormous amount of goodwill” but council’s composition of 12 independently elected ward representatives guaranteed “robust discussion”. “A personality like Darryn’s won’t be confronted by that. He’s an agent for change, he likes to disrupt the dialogue to bring the best out of a debate and he will feel right at home in any discussion.” Cr Harwood said he and Cr Lyons were two “very different personalities”. Their friendship was “forged” out of adversity when he was accused of favouring a development application for Cr Lyon’s Home House nightclub, he said. “Ironically, it bonded our friendship and since then we’ve actually become pretty close. “But I can guarantee this man will do everything he can to better Geelong. He will tough out the tough times and there will be times it gets tough.”

Golf course aged care rejected By NOEL MURPHY SURF Coast councillors have rejected controversial plans to turn part of Torquay’s The Sands into an aged-care centre. The Handbury Group wanted to convert a Peppers hotel adjoining the estate’s golf clubhouse into a 112-room facility offering various levels of care for the frail and aged. Residents in the plush golforiented resort estate were con-
cerned the aged-care centre could affect their access to resort facilities, lower property values and lead to subdivision of the golf course. Mayor Rose Hodge said council received 200 submissions, “a vast majority objecting� to the plans. A council planning amendment process to ensure community consultation over the aged care proposal revealed “a number of
issues�, she told the Independent. “Council has taken note of those,� Cr Hodge said. “We know there’s a need for aged care facilities but the developments need to happen in appropriate locations. “The social and economic impacts of proposals to convert existing facilities also need to be closely assessed and considered along with community views. “I’d like to thank all parties for
the respectful way in which this process has been conducted.� Sands residents spokesman Paul Martonhelyi said the objectors living in the estate were “certainly very relieved and happy� with council’s decision. “For the benefit of Torquay and the greater Surf Coast Shire, it’s good to be able to preserve this important tourism facility for the anticipated growth in tourism we’re expecting in all the adver-
Classic weekend of motoring set for city’s waterfront By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN
MYRNIONG REALIZATION AUCTION On A/C Lidgett Family SATURDAY, 7th DECEMBER 11AM.
1102247-LB46-13
CLASSIC cars will overrun Geelong’s waterfront this weekend. Organisers said the second annual Geelong Revival would be one of the largest motoring festivals in the Australia, bringing together a unique mix of cars, motorcycles, fashion and motor sport. The organisers hoped attendance would break last year’s 30,000 mark across the two days. They said the festival’s focus this year was on promoting motoring culture, from cool classics, retro, old-school, performance and prestige vehicles to the just plain odd. More than 800 local and international vehicles had been invited to participate in the free event. The motor fest includes a waterfront Makers and Growers Market at Steampacket Gardens, a Shannons Classic Motorshow, a motorcycle Mecca and a Can-am sports car demonstration.
Mr Martonheyli said Handbury had no recourse to Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, effectively spelling an end to the proposal in its existing form. The Independent was unable to contact the Handbury Group before going to press. The aged-care plan coincided with the RACV’s redevelopment of Torquay Golf Course, which included the addition of accommodation facilities.
tising and promotion by government agencies,� he said. Residents had argued existing purpose-built facilities elsewhere in the area already catered adequately for Torquay’s aged-care demand. They said a Great Ocean Road management plan released last year had identified the value of high-end tourism accommodation facilities such as The Sands in attracting overseas visitors.

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE CARBON tax is “causing damage” in Geelong, “perhaps the most carbon-intensive city in the country”, Liberal MP Sarah Henderson has told federal parliament. “We are a home of many trade-exposed companies, such as Ford, Boral, Shell and Alcoa, and are a region extremely dependent on agriculture and manufacturing. “In our region thousands of jobs have been lost or are under threat. The carbon tax is a cost of doing business and it is hampering our region’s capacity to thrive and to prosper.
“Consider what it is doing to our farmers, food processors and timber mills. The carbon tax is costing every dairy farmer on average $7500 a year.” Ms Henderson said Labor’s attempts to make amendments to introduce an emissions trading scheme were “an exercise in rebadging”. “This is a tax on jobs and on electricity. This is a tax on Geelong and a tax on the people of Corangamite.” Labor Member for Corio Richard Marles said the Liberals had proposed reducing emissions through “costly” direct action.
“The vast majority of economists see this as costing our economy much more than an emissions trading scheme. “This is why the Liberals are not telling us how much direct action is going to cost. It will hurt Geelong businesses and households and not help the Geelong environment.” Mr Marles said Labor had always supported emissions-intensive trade-exposed industries. “Geelong is also exposed to changes in climate and this has enormous potential to damage our economy.”

CHRISTMAS IN GEELONG
GEELONG IS BEING TRANSFORMED INTO A FESTIVE WONDERLAND THANKS TO THIS YEAR’S CREATIVE COLLECTION OF CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS This year, primary school students from all over Greater Geelong have been working hard to create one of our major Christmas decorations in Central Geelong. The students took time during their final school term to hand decorate 28 Christmas trees, to form a spectacular forest of Christmas cheer. Each tree is 2.4 metres tall, and features individual designs from each local school. Come down and see the Christmas forest in Lt Malop Street Central. Other Christmas decorations brightening up the city include giant stars at the Carousel, plus stickers and banners on footpaths and facilities all around Central Geelong. Christmas yarn bombing have also appeared along Malop Street! Kids can get involved in the festive celebrations, with an opportunity to send letters to Santa at the Carousel, and a personalised return letter guaranteed. And look out for Santa’s elves - in funky new outfits - helping out shoppers parking in Central Geelong. The City of Greater Geelong would like to wish all residents a safe and happy festive season, and a successful 2014.

Young tech snoop puts bite on Apple PUBLIC NOTICES
By NOEL MURPHY SELF-STYLED teen tech insider Sonny Dickson says he’s taking a break from exposing new Apple products before they hit the market. The Bellarine Peninsula secondary student has revealed the iPad Mini 2, iPad 5, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S, a biometric fingerprint scanner, batteries, training videos and more on his blog, reportedly infuriating Apple. His blog has drawn up to one million views a month with detailed inside technology and prototypes he claims to glean from factory workers and sources in China. But Mr Dickson has gone quiet in the past month or so, with his last post in midOctober. “I may or may not come back next year to do stuff with Apple,” he told the Independent this week. “I’m moving forward into cars like Audi and Lexus,

ing about how much and what I make but all my money goes to buying Vuitton items and nice things,” he said. “I’m not really working with Apple, not until next year maybe. I mean, like, I’m buying a 2014 Audi A4.” Mr Dickson’s website cites him as “the go-to source for Apple news thanks to his many sources and developer skills allowing him to find hidden information in the codes of beta software left behind by unknowing engineers”. The site states it is written and edited by a journalism student and solicits tips on prototypes or “insider info”. Mr Dickson said his leaks had drawn the daily attention of Apple – and up to 100 times a month – but claimed the tech giant had not pursued him legally. “No one has tried to sue me or even tell me that they want to sue me,” he said.

life, driving under the influence, refusing a breath test and speeding. The 37-year-old was summonsed to appear in Geelong Magistrates’ Court on 6 December. A Holden Commodore travelling east on Ballarat Rd collided with Mr Hussain’s
stationary taxi on Anakie Rd about 6.15pm on 25 December, 2012. Mr Hussain, a father-of-five and his family’s only breadwinner, died at the scene. Five family members in another vehicle stationary next to the taxi sustained minor to moderate injuries.
Buyer’s link to Bluey, Tutungi THE BUYER of a house to raise money for two former football stars battling health issues has revealed personal links to both men. Jessica Hansen said she was the teacher of Tim ’Bluey’ McGrath’s daughter at Bellaire Primary School and her brother, Darcy, played alongside Casey Tutungi at South Barwon Football Club. Ms Hansen and partner Luke Andrews, both of Torquay, bought the house as their first home at a charity auction for the men on Saturday. They paid $410,000 for the house in Armstrong Creek’s Warralily estate, with $130,000 each to go toward treatment for Mr McGrath and Mr Tutungi. Mr McGrath, a former champion Cats defender, is battling melanoma and Mr Tutungi was left a quadriplegic after a football accident this year. Auction organisers said Ms
SOLD: The buyers celebrate their purchase. Hansen had kept her links to the men secret until after the auction. Ms Hansen said she had been keeping an eye on construction of the home. “It has been quite inspiring following the fund-raising house being built and also watching the community band together to support both guys.,” she said. To be able to share in that by
buying this home is an amazing feeling. “I have been watching the house develop over the last few months, as my colleague lives four doors down and I have been driving past the house every morning when I pick her up for work. Now it’s my home.” More than 70 Geelong and Melbourne businesses contributed to the fund-raising house.

district as target areas for the first phase of power line replacement.” Power lines were blamed for some of the largest and deadliest fires on Black Saturday. The Bushfires Royal Commission recommended the progressive replacement of all 22-kilovolt distribution feeders with aerial bundled cable or underground wires. Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley said he had been working with power companies and government departments to identify the highest-risk areas. “This is fundamental. Anything to stop the start of a fire is a good thing,’’ Mr Lapsley said.

DANGEROUS power lines in the Otways will be among the first targeted for replacement to reduce bushfire risk, State Government has confirmed. The replacement program will include the popular tourist towns of Torquay, Anglesea, Airey’s Inlet and Lorne. A spokesperson for Energy and Resources Minister Nicholas Kotsiras said the $200 million replacement fund was part of a 10-year $750 million Powerline Bushfire Safety Program. “The Victorian Coalition Government is committed to the tar-
geted replacement of power lines in high risk areas to reduce the risk of bushfires started by electricity assets,” the spokesperson said. “The first power lines will be replaced this financial year under the Powerline Replacement Fund to replace bare wire overhead power lines. “This program fully meets all the relevant recommendations of the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission and significant works have already been carried out that improve safety for Victorians. “The Fire Services Commissioner has identified areas in and around the Otway Ranges, the Dandenong Ranges and Warburton

STRIKING OUT: Bellarine Bears Baseball Club players in action.
UPSIZE SALE Bears on base “It’s great for the player, especially the younger guys, but it means we lose them. As soon as they start to show some promise we tend to lose them to the state team. “We’re always trying to maintain the development of our kids so we don’t have too big a gap to fill if they move on.” David said the club had more than 50 members, running three senior teams, but the juniors “could use a boost”. “We run junior baseball versions of programs like kanga cricket and Auskick, great for kids aged between four and 10 years so they can have a go and be introduced to the sport. “We spend a fair bit of time with our kids, and encourage parent participation so they can learn the sport. “Ninety per cent of the population knows cricket and football but only about one per cent know about baseball,” he said,

“If the kids enjoy it they can get further involved. We run after-school programs and we have coaches running clinics. “We’ve just opened our new indoor batting shed, an indoor facility with hitting nets and a pitching machine that can shoot out a couple of hundred balls for batting practice. “It’s an all-weather facility and we hope it might develop a bit more interest. It can be adjusted for various kinds of pitches and will be a great training aid to improve skills.” David said the sport helped develop multiple skills, handto-eye coordination, fitness and agility. “It’s a team sport that also encourages success as individuals. It’s the combination of individual skills that promotes team success,” he said. “All players are involved in pretty much the whole game. Everyone gets to bat three or four times and players move around in the field so they get to experience all parts of the sport.” Anyone seeking more information can phone David on 0418 520 259 or email dcro3325@bigpond.net.au.

IT’S quite a way from a part-time baseball field at Wallington to US college ranks but a number of Bellarine Bears Baseball Club players have gone the journey. Club stalwart David Crotty recognises that clubs such as his are often a starting point for talented juniors. “There’s a bit of talent spread around the place,” he said proudly. In one season a few years back the club supplied seven players to the Victorian under-18 team. “We pretty much filled the state side,” David chuckled. The club has also had a number of players go on to represent Victoria at national championships as well as five players to colleges in the US on scholarships. “There are often scouts around, especially at the national championships where the various state teams play against each other,” he said. “US college scholarships give a player the chance to play their sport and get a degree as well. Some progress through college and get a major league contract. “A few Geelong players have made the majors, going back to Graham Lloyd.

Letters I RECENTLY wrote in the Independent that Geelong’s council appeared to be upholding Teleta’s corporate interest over those of residents in the matter of the proposed chemical facility for North Geelong. I wish to thank councillors for their decision on 19 November to refuse Teleta’s application (Independent, 22 November), especially the councillors for Cowie and Corio wards, Eddy Kontelj and Kylie Fisher. I could see that some councillors were frustrated by legal precedents preventing them assessing this issue as the safety concern it is for most objectors. Now the matter will most probably go to Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, which might still rule in Teleta’s favour. In an issue of this kind, in which health and pollution risks are so serious, an external authority should not be able to supersede local governance. I cannot store my chemicals in my neighbour’s backyard without his consent. Why can a corporation? In situations of high risk, can’t we set a precedent that gives locals the authority to protect their neighbourhoods against the same intrusion? Legal precedent, after all, is an accretion of adhoc judgements made in the light of the knowledge of the time. As an objector pointed out, we know so much more about toxicology and the costs of environmental degradation now that decisions about issues like chemical facility sites are far more important than in the past. Should precedent really be the guide in these cases? Summer Dew North Geelong
Irresponsible authority THE mini-refinery about two kilometres from Geelong’s CBD and nestled among residential North Geelong is an alarming thought. If this project is passed I would loathe visiting the area. Given that the people owning this property do not appear to have prior experience in volatile chemicals, the site will probably be leased to a third party. Council is not concerned about who actually owns or runs the business but I would have thought it was in the city’s best interests to know the credentials of people who are responsible for chemical mixing, storing and transporting.
Our encounter with Anglesea leopard THE photo of the black Asian leopard in the 15 November Independent was almost identical to the big cat we saw in the Anglesea heathland. It was a young animal, about knee-high to a human, and was strolling across a sandy track as we cycled around a bend. It stopped and looked at us for a few seconds. Then, turning to face in our direction, took a few slow paces toward us. It stopped again, still watching us, before ambling back across the track and scampering off like a playful kitten, disappearing into the bush from whence it came. Although we had a camera with us and plenty of time to take shots, we were both so in awe of this beautiful, sleek animal that we didn’t even think to film it! Next time will be different, so stand by.

SIGHTING: The black Asian leopard pictured in the 15 November Independent. photographed at close range a marsupial Tasmanian tiger at Airey’s Inlet while testing her new Browning camera. I would be interested to hear from readers who know about this. I have received reports of Tasmanian tigers in the past 17 years from Ocean Grove, Freshwater Creek, Point Impossible, Lorne, Torquay, Bellbrae, Anglesea, Point Addis, Paraparap, Airey’s Inlet, Stonyford, Apollo Bay, Cape Otway, Johanna, Beech Forrest and Warrion.

This plant closed three years ago yet is applying for “prior-use” rights outside of the period of time allocated to continue on a previous permit. It appears the legal eagles have been given inadequate information, otherwise how could this use be allowed? The council report available keeps referring to “the responsible authority”. In my opinion, responsible is hardly the word for this project. Sandra Camm Highton
tion on this issue even though his incompetent $1.1-billiona-year-state-taxpayer-funded conservation monopoly of Parks Victoria and Department of Environment and Primary Industries have not done enough mammal surveys to rule out the existence of these creatures. Last year’s fiasco when local residents rediscovered tiger quolls showed the incompetence of Parks Victoria, since the territory of a Tasmanian tiger is far bigger than that of a quoll. A press release stated Parks Victoria had 160 trail cameras in the Otways for two years searching for the quoll before it was found not far from the cameras. Private enterprise competition is needed but South Barwon MP Andrew Katos and other Liberals place the interest of the above monopoly’s public-sector-union-dominated jobs for life ahead of locals and the environment. Readers can phone 0434 904 944 to report sightings. Michael Moss Richmond
Experts in nonsense I CAN assure Des Meaney (Letters, 15 November) I have nothing “against Christian websites”, only against nonsense masquerading as science. I dutifully researched online the alleged experts on evolution whom Mr Meaney named. None was a working biologist. One, Veith, was alleged to be a zoologist but had no peer-reviewed articles published under his name. He is a professional evangelist and conspiracy theorist who claims the world is run by the Vatican, the Freemasons and by individuals as diverse as Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela.
Baugh has no legitimate scientific credentials, only doctorates from unaccredited religious institutions. Gray also is an amateur who supports the work of Ron Wyatt, who claimed to have found Noah’s Ark, and Jesus’ blood on the Ark of the Covenant, among other imaginative discoveries. Gentry is a physicist trying to prove, by way of polonium halos, a young Earth of 6000 years or so but has had no support from Earth scientists. If Mr Meaney would read some elementary texts on evolutionary biology, instead of American fundamentalist rubbish, he would not come up with the amusing but unsuccessful speculation about the evolution of chooks. Mr Meaney did come up with an original idea of his own, however: that the Bible “gives an eyewitness account of Jesus creating everything in perfect working order”. As one should never mix science and religion, I won’t comment. Tim Saclier Leopold
Unions target parliament IT IS interesting to note the union power play at the moment whereby militant unions like the CFMEU, which has constantly broken the law with industrial disputes and challenged the Napthine Government in the Supreme Court, are now trying to infiltrate the Victorian parliament by parachuting union officials into the Legislative Council as MPs. Only recently Ceasar Melham, past secretary of the Australian Workers Union, was given the seat of Eastern Metropolitan, vacated by Martin Pakula. Local government is not immune, with Geelong Trades Hall strongly backing John Mitchell in the city’s mayoral election. Now Labor factions are in a tizz as CFMEU secretary John Setka tries to muscle his partner, Emma Walters, into the newly created seat of Werribee in the Legislative Assembly. We will see more union muscle strategically placed in the halls of parliament as unions struggle to gain relevance and significance, using parliament through their MPs to exert power over upcoming legislation that threatens their existence. This is a dangerous power play at work that has significant ramifications to the Victorian community. Simon Ramsay Member for Western Victoria

Japanese duo’s talent for blues By MICHELLE HERBISON GEORGE Kamikawa and Noriko Tadano’s appearance on Australia’s Got Talent last year certainly spread the word about the Japanese duo’s unique blues-folk fusion sound. After starting out as humble Melbourne buskers, Kamikawa told the Independent the pair had been flying around the country attending large festivals and even a remote Queensland mining town to perform. “It was real far away,” Kamikawa recalled. “They picked us up and we played like a mining company party. They got quite drunk and were happy. “Before the show we already played festivals but now we’re going interstate – it’s a bit different to what it used to be.” Kamikawa’s infectious blues guitar, harmonica, stomp-box and vocals paired with Tadano’s traditional Japanese banjo-like shamisen wowed judges and audiences when they appeared on the channel 7 show last year. “Your voice is incredible,” show judge Brian McFadden told Kamikawa at the duo’s audition, while calling Tadano’s shamisen “the banjo with the paint-scraper thing”. “It worked really, really well.”
The pair was among crowd favourites with their striking traditional Japanese and blues fusion stage appearance and entirely unique renditions of blues favourites such as Shake Your Money Maker. Despite his new-found fame, Kamikawa still finds time for his beloved busking at his regular spot in Melbourne’s Bourke St Mall. “Busking has always been good for me. The crowd hasn’t changed so much but more people are asking, ’Can I take a photo with you?’ and stuff because they saw me on the TV show. “Buying CDs is pretty similar to what it used to be but people are very friendly and say, ’I saw you on TV’. It happens quite a lot.” Kamikawa and Tadano are recording a new album to release next year, featuring more original blues tracks than previous albums. “It’s all in English,” Kamikawa said. “I have one Japanese song I’ve been playing at the Blues Train, Sake Blues. People sing, ’Sake, sake’, and know the meaning of sake so it works but if I make normal Japanese songs they have no idea,” he laughed. George Kamikawa plays Queenscliff’s Blues Train on 14 December, 18 January and Motor City Music Festival in March.

THE beloved musical My Fair Lady is returning to Geelong after a 15-year absence thanks to Footlight Productions. Artistic Director Peter Wills said he hoped the February show would delight audiences and entertain the next generation of theatre lovers. “It’s an absolute classic. It will be of an extremely high standard - a very traditional My Fair Lady but with a modern feel to it.” The classic Lerner and Lowe musical tells the story of a phonetics professor attempting to pass off a common Cockney flower girl as a duchess. Recent Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts graduate Lisa Hanley will return to her hometown of Geelong to play leading lady Eliza Doolittle. “Eliza is a dream role of mine and it’s very humbling to play this character in the place where my love of theatre began,” Hanley said. The cast also includes Jamie McGuane as Professor Higgins, Howard Dandy as Colonel Pickering, Mary Walker as Mrs Higgins and an experienced ensemble of local talent.
Wills said many of the 30 performers cast in the show prepared for auditions by watching the 1964 Audrey Hepburn film for the first time. The production of My Fair Lady will follow in the footsteps of Footlight Productions’ rendition of Les Miserables earlier this year, nominated for 11 Music Theatre Guild of Victoria Awards to be drawn midDecember. “Les Mis is a show that’s so popular, it’s hard to work out why it’s as popular as it is,” Wills mused. “It doesn’t matter whether we win or not, it’s nice to be nominated and get to the final eight out of the 68 productions that were judged.” Wills said Footlight Productions cast the show in August then started rehearsals in October. A dedicated team of sewers was preparing all-new costumes, including ballroom attire with a modern slant and traditional black and white for the Ascot scene. “It’s a big production and the show’s quite long, so it’s going very well,” Wills said. My Fair Lady opens at Geelong Performing Arts Centre on 7 February.

Slices delight IRRESISTIBLY delicious homemade slices from central Geelong’s Café Lorae make for the perfect morning or afternoon treat. The café’s slice extraordinaire, Jo Rabbas, prepares a selection of more than 20 varieties including lime and white chocolate, Malteser, white fruit and nut, ginger, peppermint, Clinker and Malteser, maple and Chokito. Anyone with a sweet tooth will love Café Lorae’s delicious and unique selection. Owner Damian says he and Jo took over the established café, at 84 Moorabool St, in March
and have since brought their own touches to the business. “We’re trying to build on the existing defined base and let more people know we’re around and are centrally located. “Making the slices in-house is something that’s unique to us because it’s not something that a lot of other businesses focus on.” Café Lorae offers coffee and slice deals as well as small and large variety packs of slices starting at just $2.50. Customers will enjoy relaxing in the café’s warm and friendly environment, catching up with friends between shopping trips

During December and January Café Lorae will contribute to the revitalisation of central Geelong by opening on Saturdays offering a brunch menu featuring freshly made salads, pancakes, eggs benedict, toasties and focaccias. Café Lorae is also increasing its catering business, preparing fresh slices and sandwiches for events such as business morning teas and weekend picnics.

Geelong Business Owners understand the basic principal about the cost of overheads and particularly the cost of high proile locations and the enormous associated costs that ultimately have to be passed on to the consumer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basic business philosophy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not rocket science. You therefore need to ask yourself...
Have you been paying too much for your new trucks in the past? Does your existing dealer and their facilities meet your expectations? Does your existing dealer offer 1 year free comprehensive insurance? Does your existing dealer offer a 5 year factory warranty across the range?* Does your existing dealer provide a one stop Sales, Service and Parts centre all under the one roof? *G UIF BOTXFS UP BOZ PG UIF RVFTUJPOT BCPWF JT A/0 UIFO MFU VT UBLF ZPV PO B UPVS PG PVS GBDJMJUJFT UP TIPX ZPV XIZ FWFSZPOF T NPWJOH UP (FFMPOH T OVNCFS POF /FX 6TFE 5SVDL %FBMFS "WBJMBCMF PO BMM USVDLT BT B 'VTP (FFMPOH %FBMFSTIJQ PòFS POMZ

Best Choice’s hoop dreams
Jess Harper with basketball rings available in time for Christmas at Best Choice Imports.
KIDS, Christmas and the summer school holidays are an annual poser for many parents. How to keep the young ’uns happy, healthy and occupied? The answer’s simple, according to Best Choice Imports’ Jess Harper - a basketball ring. “What’s better for keeping the kids busy over the holidays?” Jess says. “It’s healthy, it’s fun and it gets the kids off the computers and out into the fresh air. It’s the perfect Christmas present.” Right now Best Choice Imports (BCI) is offering a huge Christmas sale 50 per cent off its range of basketball rings - meaning bargain prices from as little as $40 for a toddler ring to a top-of-therange backyard ring marked down to $160 from $320. “We have stand-alone systems that come with wheels and the base can be filled with water or sand to keep them planted firming in position,” Jess says. “We have a range from toddlers to full adult size. All rings are fully adjustable, so you can move them up and down for your requirements.” BCI Imports also has spas, trampolines, bicycles, pool toys and more. It prides itself as Geelong’s best outdoor leisure shop and a proud family business. BCI offers free, friendly advice, great back-up service and is a leader in online sales. Its products can be purchased directly from the North Geelong showroom and warehouse or on product-specific websites. BCI has worked closely with manufacturers to design tough and strong products built for the harsh Aussie climate. Because BCI sells online it doesn’t have the expensive retail overheads as its competitors. BCI’s showroom is at 164 Victoria St, North Geelong, phone 5278 5200 or visit bestchoiceimports.com.au

Shed stocked full of variety IT’S called The Big Shed but people still do a double take when they enter the two acres of undercover furniture and gifts for the first time. Manager Shelley Dillon says the range and variety of new and used furniture and related products offer customers unsurpassed opportunities to find exactly what they are looking for. “We love it when customers take their time to wander around the various sections of the store and explore,” Shelley says. “There’s always a spot people want to decorate with just
the right piece and there’s every chance they will find it here. “Many of our customers just pop in to see what’s new or browse with no intention to buy but end up making a purchase because they found something they could not leave without. “We aim to be as helpful as possible without making the customer feel pressured so it’s a more relaxed shopping experience.” The Big Shed is still Geelong’s only drive-in furniture warehouse, with customers able to load their purchase into their car or onto their trailer while pro-
tected from the elements. Shelley says furniture packages offer even greater discounts on The Big Shed’s already competitive prices, with a delivery service also available. The Big Shed also features a store within a store with an expanded range of giftware including lamps, model cars, bar needs, plaques and signs, fire screens, towel rails, mirrors and prints. The Big Shed is at the corner of Carr and Fitzroy St, South Geelong, phone 5229 9844 or 5221 1864 or email info@thebigshed.com.au.

Stay cool, cut bills with Sun IMAGINE running a household airconditioner this summer without the worry about the next electricity bill. Installing a City to Surf Solar+ solar power system can make this possible. “It’s because of the hot Sun that you’re turning your air-conditioner on in the first place, so why not let the Sun work for you and cover the cost of running your AC,” says City to Surf Solar+’s Christian Pritchett. “If you’re a pool owner you’ll probably have similar worries about your electricity bills. Solar power helps offset the costs of running pool pumps, cleaners and filters.” City to Surf Solar+ is a locally owned and operated business specialising in solar power, LED light-
ing, energy monitoring and heating and cooling. City to Surf Solar+ uses only high-quality products and all systems are installed by its experienced, Clean Energy Council-accredited installation team. City to Surf Solar+ has been installing systems for more than five years, with over 650 completed locally, including residential, commercial, schools and community buildings. “A solar power system or LED lighting retrofit is a big investment and you can rely on us with that investment,” Mr Pritchett says. “We recommend that people do not wait too long to install solar power because Powercor recently
introduced limitations on the amount of solar power able to be installed and people might miss out if too many of their neighbours already have it installed.” As one of the only locally-operated installers catering specifically to the region, City to Surf Solar+ provides excellent customer service and takes care of all paperwork to make the whole process as simple as possible. Prospective clients can inspect live systems in action at the business’s showroom at 8/32 Essington St, Grovedale, by arranging an appointment on 1300 348 847. More information about City to Surf Solar+ is available at citytosurfsolar.com.au.

Save with tinting this summer TORQUAY Tinting’s Vincenzo ‘Vinnie’ Tabacco says now is a good time to consider tinting. So get in early and gain immediate benefit late in spring at the start of the warmer season, immediately minimising heat and glare discomfort. Tinting keeps homes cooler in summer and provides many other cost-cutting enviromental benefits. Vinnie says tinting ensures glare-free comfort year round. “You immediately start saving the money you spend on tinting because you rely far less on air-conditioning on hot days and reduce the fading of furnishings. “More importantly, it also helps prevent ageing and skin cancer, which is vital for every member of your family, including your treasured pets.” Vinnie has been providing Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula and Geelong home and business owners with top-standard tinting services for 15 years. “After going over the job I narrow down which facets are most important to the client, whether it’s to reject heat, reduce glare, improve comfort, health, safety, privacy or fading of interiors,” he says. “I advise people honestly for the best possible solution and ensure very high standards.” Vinnie says testimonials on his website demonstrate how clients are pleased with his effective and affordable products. “Tinting will transform the beauty of your home,” he says. Vinnie is also a registered building practitioner whose positive approach toward helping the environment and improving the energy rating of clients’ homes

TURBO DIESEL Chrysler 300 Core is a remarkably affordable American high-performance sedan.
A ‘Gangsta’ to the core By EWAN KENNEDY THE reasoning behind the Chrysler 300 SRT Core is as simple as the car itself. The thinking behind it goes back to the core of buyer preferences - value for money in a high powered machine. A neat $10,000 has been stripped from the price of the standard 300 SRT, dropping it to an affordable $56,000. As it has kept the core values of the car exactly as before, the new model is tagged Chrysler 300 SRT Core. That $56,000 recommended price puts the big Chrysler right down with the hot Ford Falcons and Holden Commodores. Tellingly the SRT Core is under the price of the lowest-cost HSV models. This special 300 model has been developed specifically for the Australian market as the guys in the States are well aware of our enthusiasm downunder. Indeed, the Americans are now to be offered the Aussie-specced car on their home market. Price trimming of the Chrysler SRT Core has been achieved by giving it cloth trim instead of leather; there’s no heating of the rear seats, though the fronts still get warmed (but not cooled); the drink holders are no longer connected to the air conditioning system so remain at the ambient temperature; and there’s no floor mat or cargo net in the boot. A basic audio system is used, with the number of speakers reduced from nineteen to six – meaning you will have to spend more time listening to the exhaust note of the big Chrysler V8. Sounds good to us! Standard, not adaptive, cruise control is used; you miss out on the adaptive suspension damping system; there isn’t a blind spot monitor (though surely anyone who drives an Piano black bezels and matte carbon accents feature on the instrument panel and centre console.
SRT knows how to set door mirrors?). The rear cross-path detection system is a handy feature but sadly it’s been stripped out. Styling, ah, styling! That’s what the Chrysler 300C is all about. Though the importer doesn’t like it to be called the ‘Gangsta’ car I’ve got some bad new for them - everyone who chatted to us about the new Core product used exactly that term… The Chrysler 300 SRT8 Core has 20-inch alloy wheels in a twin-fivespoke design. There are ‘Hemi 6.4L’ badges in red and chrome on the front guards and a red ‘Core’ badge on the bootlid. Core is offered in eight paint colours: Gloss Black, Ivory tri-coat pearl, Billet Silver metallic, Jazz Blue pearl, Granite crystal metallic pearl, Deep Cherry Red crystal pearl, Phantom Black tri-coat pearl, and Bright White. The Core’s cabin has black seat trim with white stitching and ‘SRT’ is embroidered into material. All the important powertrain parts remain as in the standard Chrysler SRT8. The 6.4-litre Hemi V8 engine produces 465 horsepower (347 kW in Australian terms) and a great 631 Nm of torque. The active exhaust system remains as does the excellent launch control system that really gets the big beast moving with just the right amount of wheelspin. It’s only to be used in the correct locations, of course. The 300C SRT8 Core is lighter than its full-house big brother so presumably has better performance in a straight line. Prices range from 300 Limited 3.6-litre petrol four-door sedan: $43,000 (auto)to the 300 SRT8 6.4-litre four-door sedan: $66,000 (auto).

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

THE Australian motoring associations have announced their annual Australia’s Best Car (ABC) awards. Now in their 13th year, the ABC awards are arguably the most comprehensive of them all. The awards are judged by engineers, with assistance from lay people from the state and territory motoring associations. Showing the value of judging all passenger vehicles on the new-car market was the return of several previous winners to the 2013 podium. Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai i30, Volkswagen Touareg and Lexus GS all pushed aside newer competitors to hold their top positions. Then there’s the Land Rover Discovery 4, which took out its category for the ninth (yes, ninth!) straight year Check the awards website for a wealth of information – the judging panel rates each vehicle in terms of value for money, design, function and on-road characteristics.

IndySport Climbing Cats hit fifth bite
On the
GEELONG Cricket Club was denied a golden opportunity to claim outright points on day two of its match against Richmond last Saturday when rain washed out the entire day’s play. After taking first-innings points on day one, the Cats would have liked their chances of a second-innings victory but it was not to be. However, the win lifted the young Geelong side to fifth on the Premier Cricket table. This Saturday will be day one of a two-day fixture against Casey-South Melbourne, which is just outside the top eight in ninth position. If the Cats can perform the way they did last start they’ll be a big chance to consolidate their position. Only three of the six matches in the first division of Geelong Cricket Association got underway last week due to the nasty weather. Grovedale batted at Burdoo Re-

serve to make a competitive 7/253 against Highton. Brad Patton scored 103 not-out for the Tigers, while Mark Freijah was the pick of the Heat bowlers with 2/14. At Winter Reserve, Murgheboluc continued its amazing form, scoring a huge 8/280 against reigning premier East Belmont. Glen Talarico rolled his ankle during the warm up but his injury had no impact as he dropped down to number six in the order and promptly peeled of 133 not-out. For the Lions, Sam Scannell continued his good form with 3/44.
East Belmont really needs to stand up and get these runs or it will risk falling well out of premiership calculations. In the only other game to start, previously undefeated North Geelong came back to Earth with a thud, dismissed by South Barwon for only 128 before the Swans cruised to 2/53 at stumps. Jeremy Babb was the destroyer for South Barwon, taking 5/34. In division two, only two games got underway. Thomson piled on 7/302 at home against Waurn Ponds, with veteran Adrian Saltalamacchia the top scorer on 86 and Englishman Jonny Kettle making 83 of his own. Casey Lang battled hard for the Eagles against his old club, taking 3/86. Alexander Thomson bowled first in its crucial match against Marshall and would have been pleased to restrict the
Bears to just 197 all-out. Troy Jones top scored with 52, while Jake Mundy (3/10) and Arsalan Khan (3/13) were the pick of the bowlers. Unfortunately for the Vikings, they had to face 17 overs to complete the day’s play and in the process fell to 3/20, with Matt Bogan taking a wicket and Brad Greenwood snaring two. Alexander Thomson will need a big contribution from father-son duo Peter and Grant Caulfield tomorrow to have any chance of winning. In the division three match of the round between Shelford and Winchelsea, only 33 overs were possible on day one due to rain. Shelford batted first, making its way to 2/80. Shelford will bat on tomorrow for around 25 to 30 overs before Winchelsea has a chance to chase down whatever target is set.
Jumper starts excite three new rookies at the Cattery By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE reality of their elevation still hasn’t quite sunk in for the newest additions to the Cattery. But the three young draftees received their first dose of reality this week when they were handed the jumper numbers of three recently departed Cats. Darcy Lang took Joel Corey’s number 11, Jarrad Jensen got Paul Chapman’s famed 35 and Jake Kolodjashnij received Josh Hunt’s vacated eight. Geelong Falcon’s midfield speedster Lang missed much of the season with a broken leg but is well into recovery. Taken with a first-round pick, Lang said taking over the number of threetime premiership player Joel Corey was a “massive honour”. “Hopefully I can continue the good run with lots of games,” he said. “It still hasn’t sunk in. It’s very surreal walking around with some of the greats of the club.” Big-bodied versatile midfielder Jansen said he realised he had big shoes to fill. “I think I’m up to it. It’s a massive honour to even be in a Geelong jumper to start with but to be in the 35 and have three 300-plus game players who have worn it adds to the honour,” he said. “It was a special moment when I was told, I was bit overwhelmed even

Snapper snaffled SNAPPER dominated captures again over the past week, with fish taken from Corio Bay’s inner and outer harbours. Geoff Chambers fished Stingaree Bay’s spoil grounds to bag out on fish to 55cm with salted pilchards at first light. Garry Shields fished the same area with soft plastics for snapper to 3.2kg cleaned. Brian Bam and Alan Marshall caught five to 2.5kg off the quarries, while Noel Stevens tried the same location into the night for three big snapper over 5kg. Wilson Spit was inconsistent but Peter McKenzie enjoyed plenty of action by casting baits well into the deep water of the channel. He released all but two of his seven fish. Soft plastics angler Xavier Patterson fished the outer edge of the mussel leases at Clifton Springs for a mixed bag of flathead and snapper to 58cm. Flathead were also taken by anglers drifting in 5m off Portarlington where Stuart Cunningham used soft plastics to catch fish averaging 35cm and two reaching 50cm. Squid were caught on the inshore grass beds between Hermsley and Swan Bay’s entrance on small natural-coloured jigs. Swan Bay’s entrance was productive for Shannon Tait who used berley to catch a variety of fish including flathead, garfish, salmon, mullet and snapper. Salmon were spread out throughout the bays, chasing whitebait shoals, while Lorne’s Loutitt Bay was productive for lure enthusiasts. The incoming tides in the Barwon River estuary produced bream on fresh baits such as sandworm, Bass yabby or shrimp. Small rainbows dominated captures at West Barwon Reservoir. Tassie Devil lures cast well out and allowed to sink before retrieving worked well, while deep-diving bibbed lures such as the Daiwa Double Clutches were the best option for brown trout. Harold Martin fished Moorabool Reservoir where the action was slow until the wind died and fish began feeding on the surface. He then caught four brown trout around 1.5kg weight on a shallowrunning Laydown Minnow lure. Lake Tooliorook was the best destination for trout, with anglers fishing mudeyes close to the weed beds catching fish over 3kg. Plenty of eels were caught from the Barwon River between Buckley Falls and Breakwater, with worms the best bait. The Murray cod season opens this Sunday, with good fishing forecast for opening day and beyond. Lake Eildon looks like a worthwhile trip, with the bonus of outstanding yellowbelly captures in recent weeks. This weekend’s early afternoon high tides should suit snapper on soft plastics around the spoil grounds off Hermsley and Leopold or in Stingaree Bay.
