MEET THE SCARIEST FAMILY IN GEELONG PAGE 3

Burglar struggle shocks resident By ALANA MITCHELSON A HIGHTON man has endured a heartracing struggle with three teenagers after catching them breaking into his garage. “The adrenalin’s come down now a bit but I’m a bit shaken up,” he told the Independent. John, who wanted his surname withheld, said he was too shaken to attend

work after the incident on Wednesday morning. The teens now face court on a series of charges related to offences in Highton and Leopold. John said he was on his usual earlymorning walk around his court when an unfamiliar car passed him just before 6am. “I thought ‘that doesn’t look right’.”

John said the teens had failed to notice him before pulling up in front of his driveway. He watched as they began breaking into his garage. John said he ran toward the group, cornering two in the driveway. “I yelled ‘get out of there’ and ‘leave now’.” The third teen remained in the car as

John instinctively tried grabbing the keys, he said. “There was a struggle. Pulling backward and forward, pushing them away with one hand and grabbing the keys with the other – I’ve got a couple of scratches from that – and then I tossed (the keys) out of reach into some long grass.” Continued page 4

THE AUTHORITY responsible for cracking down on scams is being scammed itself. The Independent has run a number of stories warning of various phone scams, most recently by con artists pretending to be from the Australian Tax Office. The stories contained warnings from Australian Securities and Investments Commission, which runs a website called SCAMwatch. But this week the scam watchers sent out a media release urging consumers to be wary of cold-callers claiming to represent ASIC and asking for personal and financial details. Maybe it’s the scammers’ revenge for being outed.

The email conveniently failed to mention that Ms Henderson was attending a rally against the Geelong Star fishing trawler and had Torquay Angling Club’s blessing to use the parking area. The image circulated was also carefully framed to leave out the dozens of Sarah Henderson other trailerless vehicles parked with Ms Henderson for the rally. And to think the election might still be nearly 12 months away!

DIRTY tricks are emerging in the battle for our federal seat of Corangamite. The office of Labor candidate Libby Coker this week emailed local media an image of Liberal MP Sarah Henderson’s vehicle in a parking space reserved for anglers with trailers at Libby Coker Torquay’s boat ramp. Ms Henderson was parked “illegally”, the email alleged, forcing “several fishermen” to look elsewhere for a park.

TALK about going down the wrong hole. A Deakin University researcher has stumbled across a potential new treatment for tuberculosis while investigating prostate cancer. And the discovery was made by Dr Luke Henderson, a Senior Research Fellow at Deakin University’s Institute for Frontier Materials. Perhaps better-known for textile research, the institute is a world-leader in metals and steel research, electro-materials, corrosion, nanotechnology and composite materials. With the team now poking and prodding about in all sorts of places, who knows what they might come up with next.

AWARD: John Jacoby pounding rough terrain during an adventure race.

TWO Surf Coast athletes have won a prestigious Adventurers of the Year award. Jan Juc’s John Jacoby and Anglesea’s Chris Porter won the Australian Geographic Society award for circumnavigating South Georgia Island, known as the ‘Gateway to Antarctica’, by kayak with team mates Andrew Maffett and Jim Bucirde. They paddled the 500 kilometres in record time before crossing the island on foot. The team members received their awards in Sydney this week. Mr Jacoby called it a “great honour”.

“We feel humbled to be among such esteemed company when you see the list of previous winners,” he said. “We really just consider ourselves a bunch of old guys who want to get out and do good stuff. “Hopefully our expedition inspires others, both young and old, to go out and chase their dreams and adventures.” Jacoby won four World Marathon Champion crowns, and completed 30 major international adventure races in 16 countries. He was the first Australian to win New Zealand’s Coast to Coast title.

Animal welfare service trying to fix finances

In brief

GAWS’ ‘new direction’

Draw response

A NEW direction for Geelong’s animal welfare service hopes to put its finances back into the black after successive annual losses. Geelong Animal Welfare Society (GAWS) has undergone a restructure to curb expenses under recently-appointed chief executive officer Adrian Buckley. Mr Buckley said the business was operating unsustainably as little as three months ago. The Independent reported in March that GAWS faced a $486,000 deficit following a $261,000 loss in 2013. “The streamlined business has

put the operational focus firmly on the animals but the shelter remains unfunded so GAWS is seeking community support in donations and fundraising,” Mr Buckley said. The new direction was focused on educating the community about the role of GAWS, he said. Geelong council contracts GAWS to operate a pound but the service also runs an unfunded animal shelter and a vet clinic. “There has been some confusion about GAWS and its role in the community,” Mr Buckley said. “We’re working collaboratively with the council, rescue groups and other key stakeholders because we

want to educate our community about the need for all of us to take responsibility for saving abandoned animals. “The work at the shelter is all about providing medical care for surrendered and lost animals, retraining where needed and rehoming them as quickly as possible. “We achieve great rehoming rates at GAWS - around 90 per cent for dogs and 75 per cent for cats - but, of course, this is what the community expects. “The shelter is unfunded and we are keen to better explain the role it plays in looking after the community’s animals. “At GAWS, we believe all cats and

dogs are equally deserving of our utmost efforts to preserve and enhance their lives. “We’re also promoting our vet clinic to the public as a way of supporting GAWS; the profits from our vet clinic go into supporting the shelter and caring for the animals before they are rehomed.” Mr Buckley cited the recent visit of US animal management experts Trish McMillan Loehr and Dr Cynthia Karsten to train staff and improve services. “It’s always a good exercise to look for ways to improve and having Cynthia and Trish visit us is one of the highlights of the year for GAWS.”

Halloween house’s scary fun for boys and ghouls By ALANA MITCHELSON

‘Astonishing’ impact GEELONG’S port makes an “astonishing” $570 million annual contribution to Victoria’s economy, Ports Minister Luke Donnellan has revealed. The port generated 1429 jobs in the region after moving cargo worth a total $8.2 billion last year.

City boost CENTRAL Geelong will reap a “significant boost” from a new building to house the National Disability Insurance Agency, according to federal Corangamite MP Sarah Henderson. She announced a tender for the national office this week, saying construction of the building for about 400 staff would be a “multi-million-dollar” project.

ALDI battle SURF Coast Shire faces a costly legal battle after blocking plans for an ALDI supermarket overlooking the start of the Great Ocean Road at Torquay. Councillors voted against the development at a council meeting this week. A part-owner of the site has threatened to take legal action to overturn the decision.

KIDS WHO love dress-ups and lollies are in for a treat tomorrow when a Geelong West mum with North American roots transforms her home into a haunted house. When it comes to Halloween, Julie Hickey’s memories are plentiful yet sporadic after a childhood spent living around the world with her family. After stints in the Middle East, South East Asia, Paris, Japan and the United States, she has now lived in Geelong for the past two years. Ms Hickey completed university in Boston and married a New Yorker, so the American influence has been strong in her life. So naturally she always celebrates Halloween with sons Connor, 13, and Aidan, 11. “Halloween in the States was particularly special because it comes during the fall and it gets dark earlier and creates a creepy atmosphere,” Ms Hickey said. “I was surprised to see how huge Halloween is in Tokyo, actually. They would close off roads and bring bus loads full of people for trick or treating.” Last year Ms Hickey played eerie music to resonate from her home’s windows which lured in most of the kids in the neighbourhood throughout the day. The popularity of last year’s spider web decorations has inspired a thingsthat-go-bump-in-the-night theme for her haunted house this year. The slippers and striped socks of the Wicked Witch of the East stick out from the base of the house, while spiders and webs are draped across its white picket fence. Children brave enough to walk past a skeleton crouched on a rocking chair then stand a chance of meeting a ghoul, a witch, a clown and a zombie at the front doorstep. “It’s just an excuse to dress up and have a bit of fun,” Ms Hickey said. “The kids love it.”

Lara move TWO OF the region’s richest men have joined forces to send Lara’s residential growth further westward. Frank Costa and Lino Bisinella confirmed they had bought a 50-hectare site for up to 500 allotments in the town’s western growth area, eventually accommodating 10,0000 residents in 4000 homes.

The CATS are “overall … very happy” with their 2016 draw despite failing to secure additional games in Geelong, according to the club’s chief. Brian Cook, who signed a two-year contract extension this week, said Simonds Stadium would host 11 games rather than only eight “in an ideal world … but we understand this is not possible”.

John said he was now questioning his actions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking back, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure if that was the right thing to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know what they were capable of.â&#x20AC;?

Detective Sergeant Gavin Mullins said. He said that police believed the two males and a female had been stealing from cars at Highton and Leopold overnight. Sgt Mullins warned residents to exercise caution if they were ever involved in similar incidents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People in the community should be very careful about apprehending an offender. These

kind of kids can often be affected by drugs or might be armed with a knife. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d advise not to act in the heat of the moment and to be really careful.â&#x20AC;? Sgt Mullins said police intended to lay burglary and theft charges. He expected the youths to be bailed to appear in Geelong Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court at a later date.

Ferry bid â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;real, not pie in skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

A TRIAL ferry from Portarlington to Melbourne â&#x20AC;&#x153;seems to be the real dealâ&#x20AC;? rather than â&#x20AC;&#x153;pie in the skyâ&#x20AC;?, according to a Geelong councillor. Lindsay Ellis said the council was â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremely interestedâ&#x20AC;? in helping the proposed trial of a catamaran-hull ferry â&#x20AC;&#x153;come to fruitionâ&#x20AC;?. Logistics industry heavyweight and Essendon Football Club chairman Paul Little revealed the trial plan this week. The ferry would sail from Portarlington to Wyndham and on to Docklands, he told ABC radio. Mr Little expected the trip would be significantly quicker than making the trip by road during peak hour, with passengers also enjoying relaxation time on the way. Travel time would be about 40 minutes, he said. Mr Little revealed he was in talks with SeaLink Travel Group

FERRY: Trial proponent Paul Little. to operate the trial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on this project for a while. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mainly directed at the western side of Port Phillip bay but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running commuter ferries

and trying to take some pressure off the roads.â&#x20AC;? Mr Little expected the threemonth trial to begin early next year. The service has been mooted for years with Portarlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harbour redevelopment incorporating berthing facilities for a ferry. Cr Ellis, whose ward covers Portarlington, said Mr Littleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal would â&#x20AC;&#x153;fit in wellâ&#x20AC;? with timelines for the harbour project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this stage it looks like a natural,â&#x20AC;? he said. Commuters would welcome the ferry to avoid the â&#x20AC;&#x153;agonisingâ&#x20AC;? car trip to Melbourne each morning. Cr Ellis said the council was â&#x20AC;&#x153;very open to discussions with Mr Littleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s groupâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like pie in the sky - it seems to be the real deal and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re extremely interested in helping this proposal come to fruition.â&#x20AC;?

City battling â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;record dry, heatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Unheard ofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; warmth as regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water storages keep plunging By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG is completing its hottest, driest October on record, according to local weatherman Lindsay Smail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be our warmest October since records started in 1903,â&#x20AC;? said the Geelong Weather Services operator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a top temperature of 35.5c and three over-30c days in the first week of the month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unheard of to be so warm so early.â&#x20AC;? Mr Smail said this October was set to be the driest on record since 1871. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even with a huge thunderstorm our rainfall will still be below average.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have only had two or three millimetres for the month - our previous driest ever was six millimetres.â&#x20AC;? Mr Smail said Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water catchments were way down for rain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slightly worrying because if things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pick up in November and December we could be looking at below 50 per cent in our storages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like that prospect going into summer because it will have some impact on water use.â&#x20AC;? Mr Smail blamed a strong El Nino and Indian Ocean dipole for the dry weather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Indian Ocean has been cool off the

West Australian coast and that leads to suppressed rainfall, added to a strong El Nino in the Pacific Ocean,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Geelong also normally suffers from a rain shadow effect from the Otways.â&#x20AC;? Barwon Water figures showed Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water storages had been declining during October for the past two years. The storages were 58.8 per cent of capacity this week with 56,121 megalitres (ML). This time last year the storages were at 81 per cent with 77ML, while in 2013 they were 91 per cent with 87ML. Barwon Water was not contemplating restrictions for Geelong, managing director Joe

Adamski said. Geelong had at least two yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; supply in surface storages and several back-up sources, such as the Melbourne-to-Geelong pipeline and groundwater, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re well-placed in terms of ongoing water security because of the recent $750 million investment in capital projects,â&#x20AC;? Mr Adamski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barwon Water has also spent considerable time and money on recycled water projects, with two class-A plants now available.â&#x20AC;? Mr Adamski said the Barwon Water service region remained under permanent watersaving rules to prevent wastage.

DRY: Young eucalypts dying along the Barwon River in Geelong.

Oberon kids make a splash at environmental conference Fords still By ALANA MITCHELSON â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;firstâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; here OBERON High School students have posed their ideas about how to best tackle water issues at an annual Melbourne Water Kids Teaching Kids Conference. Students in years seven to 10 spent months giving up many of their lunchtimes to research local water and environmental issues. They also participated in outdoor activities such as tree planting, water quality testing and sand dune restoration. Their research then developed into a presentation of key problems and possible solutions, which they pitched to kids representing 52 schools across the state at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conference. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Melbourne Water event encouraged students to consider the numerous ways that people rely on water as a precious resource in everyday life, whether for washing, agricultural purposes or manufacturing processes. Amanda Rusiniak, Oberonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environment team coordinator, said the two-day event had a double-pronged educational effect, giving students an opportunity to also learn from other schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; presentations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students were so dedicated and were preparing for the event every lunchtime this term,â&#x20AC;? Ms Rusiniak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was quite special

the end as well, which touched on the key issues raised during the conference.â&#x20AC;? Since 1999, more than 100,000 students have been involved in the Kids Teaching Kids program

through state, national and international conferences. Program manager Michelle Sanders said the aim was for the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental messages to filter out beyond the

event to the wider community. Ms Rusiniak said the Oberon High School students were so inspired that they left discussing what they hoped to present at next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event.

FORD still fills more driveways across Geelong than any other marque despite its plan to cease manufacturing in the city next year. Australian Bureau of Statistics motor vehicle census of car registrations by postcode shows that Geelong, the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula remain in Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firm grip. But the picture is different nationally with Toyota overtaking Holden and Ford. The only area of Geelong where Ford has lost brand loyalty is where it makes its vehicles, with 4035 Holdens outnumbering 3725 Fords in the 3214 postcode of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northern suburbs. Ford is the most popular car in seven out of 12 of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main postcodes, with 34,267 registrations. Holden is second with 25,484. The difference is most-pronounced in the 3216 postcode, home to 7925 Fords against 7109 Holdens. The Blue Oval will cease manufacturing next October, retiring the venerable Falcon. The closure will put hundreds of Geelong Ford employees out of work.

Indy, TAC working Towards Zero DRIVING down the local road toll will be the focus of a renewed partnership involving the Independent and the Transport Accident Commission (TAC). The Independent and other regional Victorian newspapers will spearhead an on-going TAC campaign targeting country roads. Regional media had a “major role to play in Victoria’s march toward zero road deaths and serious injuries”, said TAC boss Joe Calafiore at the partnership renewal launch last Friday. Regional Victorians were four times more likely to die and 40 per cent more likely to suffer serious injury in road accidents than Melbourne residents, he said. “Regional communities understand all too well the devastating impacts of road trauma so it’s essential we do everything we can to keep road safety in the minds of country Victorians.”

“We’re working with our road safety partners and the Victorian Government to create a safer, more forgiving road system that will cushion people from death or serious injury when a mistake is made.” Independent managing editor Tony Galpin welcomed the ambitious Towards Zero campaign. “Joe noted at the launch that some people regarded the concept of a zero road toll as unachievable but, as he explained, it’s right as an aspirational target for Victoria,” Mr Galpin said. “With new and emerging vehicle technology, continuing road-safety improvements and a greater acceptance of safe roaduse practices, regional Victorians really can work towards zero. “The price of denying this goal is just too high to accept.”

The TAC’s Talk the Toll Down partnership with 65 regional newspapers was launched four years ago in Ballarat. Mr Calafiore said the TAC’s successful Talk the Toll Down campaign in regional Victoria would continue indefinitely under a new name, Towards Zero. The revised campaign encouraged Victorians to consider how losing loved ones would affect their families and to aim for a future without death and serious injuries on Victorian roads, he said. “Towards Zero sets an ambitious target but unless we’re aiming towards zero we’re saying to ourselves that we accept people will die or be badly hurt just because they use our roads. We can never accept that.” Mr Calafiore said road users would always make mistakes but the goal of Towards Zero could be achieved with a safer road system.

Angler surge ‘to hurt fisheries’ BANNING netting in Corio Bay could destroy its fish stocks because recreational anglers take more than commercial operators, a seafood industry leader has warned. Melbourne Seafood Centre chairman Andrew McLaughlin slammed the State Government bans for Corio and Port Phillip bays from April 2018 and 2022 respectively as “blatantly political” and “nonsense”. The Independent reported last week that recreational fishing bodies welcomed the bans, claiming commercial fishing had damaged fish stocks. But Mr McLaughlin said studies iden-

tified recreational anglers as taking more from the bays than commercial operators. “This legislation has only ever been about securing votes from elite recreational anglers and has been tabled in parliament without considering the broader ramifications and the impact on all Victorians,” he said. “The Government’s suggestion this will increase catch rates and the size of fish for recreational anglers in Port Phillip bay is not supported by any facts. “Rather, Australian Conservation Foundation research shows that commercial fishing in the bay is sustainable in terms of both fish stocks and marine habitat.

“Recreational anglers already take six times more snapper from Port Phillip bay than commercial fishers and twice as much whiting, according to recent studies. “If the number of recreational anglers were to increase significantly, as the Government hopes, this would put even more pressure on fish stocks.” Mr McLaughlin said the ramifications of the legislation would be felt throughout Victoria, affecting many more small businesses than the 43 family fishing operations which face being shut down. “Seafood wholesalers and retailers, restaurants, hotels and your local fish and

Phillip bay species such as King George whiting, rock flathead, garfish and calamari will no longer be available fresh from the bay.” Science proved that commercial and recreational anglers could continue their 170-year coexistence on the bays, Mr McLaughlin said. “The Andrews Labor Government is spending $27 million of public money to deny Victorians a resource they have had access to for more than a century. “Ultimately, Victorian consumers will pay the price for this ill-considered legislation.”

chip shop are all impacted. The Government should support these small businesses.” Consumers of local seafood would also suffer, Mr McLaughlin said. “As a result of this legislation, the 87 per cent of Victorians who do not fish recreationally will no longer be able to buy fresh, local and affordable seafood. “Instead, they’ll be forced to purchase more seafood from international fisheries where we cannot be assured of acceptable environmental or social standards and the price of seafood in Victoria will increase dramatically. “Once the ban is in place, iconic Port

Membership drive helps youth hear roar of Lions By ALANA MITCHELSON

SNAGGING MEMBERS: Lions Michelle and Derek Challis, George Konieczka, Murray Anderson and Ian Petersen prepare to launch their club’s membership drive. Picture: REG RYAN

THE Lions Club of Geelong will launch a membership drive next month to encourage young people to sign up and give back to the community. Club president Michelle Challis, a member from a “very young age”, said she had fond memories of selling Big Ms in her early teens and helping out with Australia Day barbecues. Ms Challis joined the club in the footsteps of her father, Derek, a 45-year Lions veteran. “At the moment we have 25 members and we’re aging. We’re mostly aged between our 30s and 50s,” Ms Challis said. “It’s getting harder for young people to commit their time but it’s important to give back. “It’s personally easier to sit back and say ‘I don’t have time and that someone else will do it’ but if we all give a little bit of our time, we’ll all benefit. “Often the friendships you make at

Lions are quite rewarding. There are people of varied ages and backgrounds.” The Lions Club donated about $30,000 to various local, national and international projects each year, Ms Challis said. The club will launch its membership drive at 7pm on 11 November at Newtown’s Steampocket Pizzeria and Café. Rotary Club of Corio Bay president Sandy Thompson said the Lions were not the only organisation whose average age is getting older. Many service clubs in the region were experiencing similar struggles sustaining members, he said. “Part of the challenge is that society is more fast-paced. “Work tends to take over family commitments and it’s hard for people to give up their spare time towards volunteering,” Ms Thomspon said. “All we can do is build good will and strong friendships and hope that loyalty will grow from that.”

Crafting smiling faces By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A BELMONT mum wants Geelong’s crafting community to take up needles, yarn and thread in an initiative that will help bring a smile to the faces of Geelong’s families in need. Handmade Crusade is an inaugural campaign to inspire young and old alike to knit, crochet or sew a soft toy for a child to enjoy. The initiative is the brainchild of Belmont mum and Fickle Fickle’s Anna Host, who will run the campaign in conjunction with not-for-profit vol-

unteer organisation Geelong Mums. Inspired by similar initiatives operating in Melbourne and internationally, Mrs Host said she developed the concept after seeing how much her own children loved receiving something that was handmade just for them. “Handmade Crusade is not about giving money. Instead, it’s about putting time, thought and care into making something for a child to love,” she said. “It’s a great way to unite as a community and gift some joy.

“As a crafter myself, I know there are many new and existing creative businesses that can help make our region a happier one through doing what we do by making.” Local stores have joined the cause with Print Patch’s Elly Broadbent hosting a “crochetalong” last weekend to get the creative juices flowing. “I still have my crocheted baby blankets, they’re special,” she said. “My mum is a talented crocheter. I think people with a craft skill want to hand on their handmade items because

so much love and care goes into them.” Newtown’s The Sewing Room Geelong is also on board, with owner Lyn Luck hosting a Crafternoon from 10am to 4pm on 7 November. “It’s so worthwhile to see a child hug a special toy that has been made with love and care,” she said. Donations will be collected at Hub Retail and Studio, The Sewing Room and the Motherworld store in Geelong West. Donations must be delivered by 27 November.

Arrivals in league of their own By ALANA MITCHELSON

GETTING THEIR KICKS: Futsal players Htookolo Ra, Omid Qayyumi, Phaday Htoo and Charwah. 146132

YOUNG male refugees and asylum seekers are making cross-cultural friendships through their love for sport with the launch of a new Futsal Geelong league. The indoor soccer competition was created with a spread of skill and cultures within each team. The players represent a range of nationalities including Afghans, Pakistanis, Iraqis and Burmese. Futsal Geelong manager Brad Roberts said the teams generally comprised new arrivals, some from detention centres. “Some of them are not allowed to work, others are furthering their schooling. “Futsal gives them something to look forward to each week. It’s a fun, structured outlet,” Mr Roberts said. “These guys are fantastic young leaders in the community, considering all they’ve been through.” Mr Roberts said the players would become great role models for other young new arrivals. Rotary Club of Corio Bay helped cover referee and uniform costs and also supplemented participation fees, ensuring the competition was accessible to all. “There are three matches each Mon-

Buckets& Bouquets

day and most of the boys are there from start to finish,” said club president Sandy Thompson. “They sit on the sidelines to watch the other matches and cheer on their mates. The boys are all so keen and competitive.” For the past two years the Leisuretime Centre at Bell Post Hill had no youth-specific futsal team, only a seniors’ league, so demand existed. Fort Youth Centre manager Danielle Parker said her team worked closely with the City of Greater Geelong to get the Futsal league up and running. “We’ve been working with the boys on managing any anger they may have in a positive way and have them build healthy relationships with police,” Ms Parker said. “Some have even expressed their interest in exploring a career in the police force. “We’re all about providing alternative education and employment pathways for young people who need support.” The new Futsal league has become so popular that an additional 80 to 100 youths had shown interest in participating after just three rounds into the season, Mr Roberts said. Organisers hoped to eventually create a volleyball team to offer an outlet for female refugees as well as a junior league. Contributions must be less than 50 words and include the writer’s full name, address and phone number.

Letters Double-dip in our pockets IT SEEMS any paltry outlay, no matter how minuscule, such as the CCTV issue (Independent, 23 October), is cause for huge consternation regarding affordability. A recent comment on providing $45,000 for CCTV cameras as opposed to a vast sum for hanging streetlights was absolutely correct. It seems Christmas trees and employee credit card expenditure are uncontroversial unless revealed in local papers yet something to benefit the municipality is just in the too-hard basket. Council seems to just take the money and run as well as double-dip. A case in point is Geelong West Town Hall, which on last inquiry was rented out at $650 weeknights but for $950 Friday and Saturday nights. The fact is all the hall’s costs are borne by ratepayers through their rates contributions, effectively meaning that council is double-dipping. When I inquired about the cost of hiring the hall a council officer said that the Friday rate was higher because: “We can get more for it because it’s closer to the weekend”. Is this an example of commercial gain as opposed to community service on the part of council? Use of any community facility should be under a nominal fee with a proviso of leave-it-as-you-foundit, not as a profit-making opportunity. Residents should not have to pay twice for facilities they funded in the first place, and that goes for the Splashdown centres and other facilities as well. Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

The Bogan King IN RELATION to the mayor’s T-shirt scandal (Independent, 16 October), my personal issue wasn’t the shirt itself. As mayor, Darryn Lyons has an elevated position of power and exposure – and, boy, does he know it! As such, to wear such as shirt as the representative of our city was irresponsible. Some people insisted he had done so much for our city. So he’s fixed our unemployment crisis? Oh wait, no he hasn’t. Cured our ice epidemic? Nope. Fixed any of the real issues plaguing Geelong? No, he has not. All he has done is put our city deeper in debt with pretty distractions designed to dazzle us and make us blind to the fact he hasn’t done one credible thing to improve Geelong. Every move he makes is about his own image and

Spur on Avalon development with new funding FOR A comparatively small outlay, $15 million or thereabouts, a rail-spur to Avalon Airport would constitute an essential preliminary piece of infrastructure. Why haven’t previous bipartisan pledges come to fruition? While Justin Giddings and Linfox might be prepared to play the long game, it’s highly unlikely that time-poor Melbournians will “catch a train to Lara, jump on a shuttle and come to Avalon” (Independent, 23 October). While it’s encouraging the DFO is taking shape, together with an albeit token upgrade of flight destinations set against a continuing backdrop of diffused, mediocre advoca-

publicity. If it won’t look good and flashy he won’t do it. People might now have heard of Geelong, but at what cost? To outsiders we appear to be a city of bogans run by the king of all bogans. Our city needs a serious mayor, a mayor who will get our city back on track, not a shameless selfpromoter interested only in his own fame and image. Suzanne Bridson Herne Hill

Hate’s not all-white IN THE Independent’s 2 October Letters, S Bridson suggested white Australians were hateful, prejudiced racists who saw only ugly labels, not the “beautiful individual person”. Last week she wrote that “every racially diverse person” with whom she had spoken, “be they Greek, Indian, Asian, African, German, Austrian, New Zealander etcetera” had been “kind and friendly”. Apparently she believes no members of these races are capable of prejudice or racism. Has she heard of India’s caste system, the countless African conflicts fought mostly along tribal lines, the Chi-

rier are secured, the 2016 federal poll will become another quintessential lost opportunity for the airport. Furthermore, the pending China free-trade agreement should add further impetus for the creation of a fresh-food export hub at Avalon for burgeoning Asian markets. As examples, a pallet-amonth Coleraine biscuit manufacturer with orders from Shanghai for a container and a Camperdown baby-formula operation employing 145 with multi-billion dollar long-term contracts are both bypassing what should be a cost-effective Avalon outlet and real-jobs provider.

nese treatment of Tibetans, or the brutal treatment of ethnic and religious minorities, gays etcetera in scores of non-white countries? She seems to believe that white crimes, such as the treatment of Aboriginals, are as horrific as Islamic extremism. This presumably includes beheadings, torturing to death, roasting alive, throwing gays off buildings, mass sexual enslavement of captured women and slaughtering minorities or generally anyone who doesn’t embrace Islamic domination. She says we have so much to learn from other races so we can move on from “past hateful racism and stereotypes”. Gee, we whiteys certainly are the scum of the Earth – why do so many non-whites even consider migrating here. Peter Rees Bell Park

Biting the hand that feeds IN MOST cultures and societies it’s generally accepted that you do not bite the hand that feeds you; if given hospitality you do not offend by engaging in terrorist activities to kill or injure the host’s family.

But fast-forward to 2015 in Australia and some recent immigrants, sadly a number of whom have been granted asylum for humanitarian reasons, or their offspring, have deliberately done so. We have no place for those unprepared to accept the open, liberal nature of our society, the political process by which it is governed, democracy, and the laws on which it is based. These are the foundation stones of our compassionate and inclusive society. Michael J Gamble Belmont

Doomsayers in the closet DON Bartlett referred to “eons” during which “the planet’s equilibrium (was) maintained”, until now “when global warming looms as civilisation’s greatest threat” (Letters, 23 October). Equilibrium? Our planet has had at least five major ice ages, three in the past 500 million years. Atmospheric carbon-dioxide (CO2) is lower now than during most of Earth’s history, from about 5000ppm five million years ago to 400ppm today. Human-induced CO2 causes warming? It hasn’t even correlated with temperature this century. While CO2 is a minuscule component of greenhouse gas, physicist Richard Lindzen’s study of climate sensitivity concluded that “the climate is probably insensitive to increases in greenhouse gases“. He deplores the scare tactics of doomsayers: “We’re talking of a few tenths of a degree change in temperature. It’s like little kids locking themselves inside dark closets to see how much they can frighten each other". Tim Saclier Leopold

Russia lights the way WHILE holidaying in Russia I noticed that its traffic and pedestrian lights had green-time countdowns. A green light counted down from 30 to three seconds, flashed three times before going orange and red. In Victoria we have no idea how much time is left on the green. If authorities want to be so vindictive about enforcing red light-running at least they can be fair and provide a green time countdown. The older traffic lights in Geelong showed how much time was left on the various colours, why not bring them back? Alan Barron Grovedale

THE FIRST acts for the third Motor City Music Festival (MCMF) have been announced, with another top line-up of bands and solo performers ready to entertain. The event returns to the Geelong Showgrounds over three big days on 11 to 13 March, turning the long weekend into a smorgasbord of 40 acts across five stages. The great adult rock on Friday and Saturday will be complemented by blues roots all weekend. Family-friendly fun-day Sunday will be an ideal time to bring the kids, tweens, teens and grandparents for an all-ages family day featuring the fun of the showgrounds plus kids’ entertainment. The festival weekend wraps up on Sunday night with a huge fireworks display at 8.45pm. MCMF again offers a large range of music, one open-air and four undercover stages, gourmet food vans, lots of well-stocked bars, free carnival rides, market stalls and ample free parking. Founding organiser Hugo T. Armstrong said the festival gave Geelong-ites a chance to come together and celebrate some of the special things about Geelong and the region. “We’re proud of our community, our icons past and present; icons like Ford, tractors and trucks from International Harvester, our agricultural past and our food and wine,” he said. “We’re a little bit town and a little bit country but there’s always room for rock and roll. “Our adjacent wine regions produce many prize-winning wines, which will be featured at the festival along with a range of delicious local produce.” Acts already announced for the allweekend blues and roots program include Cleveland Blues, Eugene Hideaway Bridges from the USA, Jimi Hocking’s Blues Machine, Blues All Star Jam, Blues Mountain and Geoff Achison.

ON TOUR: The Bon Scotts play Geelong next weekend.

Picture: LUCY SPARTILAS

A Bons voyage By ALANA MITCHELSON ON the surface, The Bon Scotts’ new single, Good Times, is a catchy, upbeat tune. But the lyrics came from a dark place in the life of lead singer Damien Sutton. He drew inspiration from memories of first-time experiences while growing up: first girlfriends, first drink and early memories of school. The song reflected the lifechanging impact of some teenage decisions, Sutton explained to the Independent. “I wrote the song about a friend of mine. We grew up to-

gether in a small country town and got into the same things at the same time – he ended his own life.” Sutton believes music is “meant to be fun” but couples serious subject matter with jovial melodies. The result serves as a gentle reminder to enjoy life to the full without taking the simpler times for granted. The folk/pop band began as a university project that required Sutton to record an album. He met the other members online and has found they have little in common with each other aside from their love for music. The Good Times East Coast

Tour has taken The Bon Scotts on the road to Queensland, New South Wales and Canberra. The band will play Geelong at Beav’s Bar on 8 November. “I love the Bellarine Peninsula, it’s my favourite place in the world,” Sutton said. “I’ll often surf around Ocean Grove and 13th Beach. I can actually picture myself moving there one day. “Everyone looks so happy. There’s no pretentiousness of the city; you pull up in the beach car park with your surfboards and people are always so friendly.”

Torquay cast’s at home with Away A NEW production of Australian play Away will “amuse and inspire” audiences this November, according to Torquay Theatre Troupe. The Michael Gow play, with Stacey Carmichael as director, would have a two-week season at Torquay Senior Citizens Centre, the troupe said. The story focuses on three internally conflicted families from the same town who holiday separately on the coast for Christmas. “Their relationships are collapsing under the emotional pressures of grief, children growing up and the major social changes of the time,” the troupe said. “Away is a funny, painful yet truthful play about the journeys that bring us home to ourselves. Despite the conflicts there are some wonderfully funny and touching moments that will recall some memories for all of us.” Set in the 1960s, the drama inspired “profound thought about what we value in life”, the troupe said. “Director Stacey Carmichael’s passion for this play is evident in her interpretation and staging.” The cast of 14 includes regular Torquay Theatre Troupe performers along with new members in major roles and ensemble pieces. “The troupe especially welcomes the new young

TROUPERS: Ryan Tracey and Tara Dunstan rehearse Away. members of the cast: Ryan Tracey as Tom, Sean Sexton as Rick, and Tara Dunstan and Jessica Senftleben sharing the role of Meg.” The troupe will stage Away from 8pm on 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28 November, as well as matinees from 2pm on 15 and 22 November.

ALLCLEAR Leafguard made from Colorbond® steel has many benefits, including protecting and prolonging the life of your gutters. The problem of bushfires is always upon us and there is a pressing need for home owners to protect their properties as best they can in the event of fire. One of the ways home owners can be prepared is by ensuring their gutters are always free of leaves and debris that could easily catch on fire, leading the flames to the body of your home. One of the questions on the CFA website under Gutters and Downpipes is: “Are gutters fitted with gutter guards made of fire resistant materials to stop leaves collecting?” A guideline suggested by the Rural Fire Service to reduce the threat of embers and bushfire affecting your home: clean leaves from gutters, roofs and down-

pipes regularly and fit quality metal leaf guards. There is a Colorbond product on the market, AllClear Leafguard that can save you all the hassles regarding leaves blocking your gutters and creating a fire hazard. AllClear Leafguard is made of Colorbond® steel, the same material as your gutters - so it won’t melt in fire or perish and become brittle. It is for this reason that the AllClear Leafguard can safely give you a 20-year warranty. Gutters fitted with AllClear Leafguard are still able to be flushed and cleaned if necessary. When AllClear Leafguard is installed access points are installed over downpipes and at relevant points in between. In the event of fire the downpipes are able to be accessed and blocked and gutters filled with water. It helps prevent embers and

burning leaves from getting under the roof. When there are no leaves on the roof or in the gutter there is nothing to burn, so the embers just sit and then go out. The Leafguard is secured under your tile or iron roof and to the front of your guttering. When the Leafguard is in place it cannot be seen from the ground, so it does not ruin the appearance of your roof. The Australian-made AllClear Leafguard has proved extremely successful over the years, being recognised as the more superior Leafguard on the market in most states of Australia. AllClear staff have been trained in all aspects of leaf and gutter solutions to help bring this amazing product to you. We are available to give obligation-free quotes and good advice by calling AllClear Leafguard and Gutter on freecall 1800 426 607 or direct 03 9813 3331.

Time for fire plans FIRE Action Week of 1-8 November is Victoria’s annual fire planning and preparation week. Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley said Fire Action Week was a great opportunity for Victorians to understand the risk where they live and put plans in place to stay safe during the summer months. “Right now, forecasts show that there is potential for a long, hot, dry summer in Victoria,” Mr Lapsley said. “Fire Action Week is a great time to increase your understanding of the fire risk where you live, prepare your property, and talk to your family and friends about what you’ll do if a fire starts.” Mr Lapsley said that making informed decisions about what to do before a fire started was vital to stay safe during the summer. “Now is the best time to understand your fire risk and get prepared, not when a fire starts,” Mr Lapsley said. “This week, talk to your family, friends and to your neighbours about the fire risk where you live and make plans for what you’ll do on hot, dry, windy days. “Make sure you know where to check Fire Danger Ratings. “Over summer, you’ll need to check the ratings daily to understand your fire risk. Remember that as ratings increase, so does your risk of fire. “It’s up to you to stay informed by using more than one source of information. “Tune in to ABC local radio, commercial and designated community radio stations or Sky News TV, phone the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667, visit emergency.vic.gov.au, download the FireReady app, and use CFA’s Twitter and Facebook accounts. “Make sure you understand the levels of

warnings, what they mean, and what you need to do. “This summer, on hot, dry, windy days, fires will start and spread quickly. “The best way to protect yourself and your family is to leave early. If the Fire Danger Rating is Severe, Extreme or Code Red, you’re risking your life if don’t take action,” he said. In the lead-up to summer, CFA brigades around the state are getting out and about in their community to talk about preparing for fire. Check cfa.vic.gov.au/events for information on what’s happening in local areas. For more information on how to get prepared for summer, visit emergency.vic. gov.au.

Message from the Premier THIS week is Fire Action Week, a time for all Victorians to begin preparing for the summer ahead. Fire Action Week is your opportunity to better understand the fire risk in your area, so talk to your family, friends and neighbours about your plans, and get prepared. Last summer we saw fire conditions ease slightly in some areas of the state. While this was a welcome reprieve for many Victorians, the challenge now is to put fire planning back on the agenda. This is particularly important given summer forecasts indicate above normal fire potential in many parts of the state. You don’t have to live in the country to be at risk. Fires can occur where suburbs meet the bush, or in urban areas where houses have grassland, bushland, or parkland around them. This week is your opportunity to revisit your fire planning with the following actions: Know where to check Fire Danger Ratings daily over summer Have your emergency kit ready to go, and make sure you have a plan for pets or livestock

informed about warnings and · Stay updates where you will go, what · Know route to take, and have a back-up if there’s already a fire in the area. If you have recently moved into a high-risk area, make sure you understand how to prepare yourself and your property. Talk to your local community and CFA brigade to make sure you are equipped with the information you need. Remember, it is up to you to understand your risk and keep informed. Leaving a high-risk bushfire area early remains the safest option. For more information on how to get prepared for summer, go to emergency.vic.gov.au or call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line (VBIL) on 1800 240 667. If you have a hearing or speech impairment, contact the VBIL via the National Relay Service on 1800 555 677.

New pets help for the elderly A new Bellarine Peninsula charity is helping the elderly look after their pets. The Cherished Pets Foundation assists with feeding, walking, brushing and cleaning up, benefitting not only the pets but their owners’ independence, health and wellbeing. Barwon Heads’ Dawn White welcomed the assistance to care for her eight-year-old bichon frise, Daisy, who she described as her best friend and companion. Cherished Pets helped the pair to continue enjoying their two short daily walks, which is an important social outing for both, Ms White said. “People you pass in the street

respond more if you have a dog. They smile or say hello and when Daisy stops to greet other dogs you talk with the owner.” Ms White’s previous bichon frise was lost to her two years ago. A friend noticed her loneliness without a pet, so she searched the internet to find Daisy. The pair now spent most of their days together, Ms White said. “She’s always glad to see me and is someone to talk to.” Ms White said she still had many other interests but Daisy’s friendship kept her from feeling lonely. Daisy also made her feel safer, letting Ms White know when visi-

tors had arrived. A Cherished Pets volunteer visits the pair weekly to take Daisy out for a longer walk, which helps maintain her healthy weight. Ms White also enjoys catching up with the volunteer for a chat while comfortable in the knowledge that Cherished Pets provides a safety net for times when she might need further help caring for Daisy. Cherished Pets Foundation is celebrated as part of this month’s Geelong Seniors Festival. More information on the festival is available at geelongaaustralia.com.au/seniorsfestival.

Rashida makes a stop on the scenic drive between Split and Dubrovnik along the Adriatic coast.

Face-to-face for travel IN A changing world where holiday itineraries can be booked solely online, Dalma Travel and Cruises continues to pride itself on its face-to-face customer service with a personal touch. Having just returned from the ‘picture perfect’ Amalfi Coast and Adriatic Coast of Croatia, Dalma Travel owner and manager Rashida Przastek is inspired to help jetsetters plan a smooth and eye-opening trip overseas. “It’s my passion for travel that keeps me going,” she says. “The only way to really explain places to clients - where to go, what to do, what to eat, what

to see - is to go there and experience the place first-hand.“ After befriending Italian locals in Sorrento and the Bay of Naples, Rashida took an eightday tour in Croatia across lakes, national parks, palaces and fortresses. She then went on her annual visit to England where she indulged herself with an affordable dinner cruise on the River Thames, a unique way to see London by night. Originally from Pakistan, Rashida has worked in London, and for Pakistan Airlines and Air India. With over 50 years of expe-

rience in the travel industry, she guides customers to develop personalised itineraries according to their interests; be it historical sites, beaches, shopping or traditional cuisine. Rashida recommends planning holidays with Australian based companies, which gives clients more flexibility in terms of making changes to their itineraries compared with booking online. For more information on Dalma Travel, visit dalmatravel.com. au or call 5229 7631. Meet Rashida and her team at 92 Pakington Street, Geelong West.

Newspapers remain a popular medium for job hunters searching for their next role despite the wide choice of domestic and international alternatives online. Emma data shows 1.4 million job seekers use print newspapers each month. Job seekers from certain industries are more likely to use print newspapers for job hunting. Those looking for work in public administration are 46 percent more likely to use print newspaper’s employment sections with similar results for mining (44 percent), and teachers and lecturers (27 percent) more likely to use print. Businesses looking to find the right candidate should employ print newspapers as part of their search, or risk missing out on a large pool of potential candidates.

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.

IndySport Frustrated Cats to get bite the Blues for two days Snapped up fish On the Chris Pitman

THE FEELING around Geelong Cricket Club at the minute could only be described as frustration after another heartbreakingly close loss last weekend. Batting first against Essendon, the Cats got off to the worst possible start losing in-form opener Joel Davies on the first ball of the match and, despite good contributions from captain Eammon Vines (54) and Liam Buchanan (62), could only manage a score of 194 from their 50 overs. In reply, Essendon was cruising at 2/102 but tight spells from Davies (2/37) and Buchanan (2/27) dragged Geelong back into the match. With one over left, Essendon was eight wickets down but managed to scramble the winning runs with one ball to spare, driving a knife not only into Geelong’s heart but also its finals hopes. This round sees the return of two-day games with an away game at Princes Park against Carlton and coach Andre Borovec will be looking for some patience and application from the side in the longer format. In the Geelong Cricket Association, the match of the round between North Geelong and Murgheboluc appears balanced slightly in favour of the Magpies but the Frogs are not without a chance.

Local

cricket Jim Timberlake

Batting first last week, Murgheboluc struggled early, falling to 6/95 thanks to an excellent early spell by Cam Alford (3/14). But M. Middleton (50) steadied the ship with a well-made half century to see the side scrape together 170 and at least give his bowlers something to defend. Veteran Ben Nicholls salvaged something from the day, removing Adam Costello for four. Sam Hall and Andrew Fergusson will be the big wickets tomorrow and if they fall early it’s anyone’s game. In division two, Highton is well in control of its match against Manifold Heights after Brandon Ross ripped through the Sharks’ top order to claim 4/45 form 14 overs as the visitors limped to 134 all out.

In reply, the Heat finished day one strongly, moving to 3/104 at stumps without too much fuss. Manifold Heights will need to fire up early and remove the experienced Luke Daffy to have any chance of winning this one. And in division three, Bannockburn has the slight upper hand in its clash with Guild St Mary’s although only just in a game that could see a few swings yet. Batting first, Guild St Mary’s started well with Jeewan DeSilva (41) and Justin Larkins (25) looking comfortable. Enter Connor Jervies who had other ideas, destroying the lower order to finish with 6/25 from 11.4 overs to see the combine crash to 135 all out. In reply, Bannockburn moved to 20 without loss and with stumps in sight, may have relaxed a little, allowing John McLaren to snare three quick wickets to reduce it to 3/25. Skipper Michael Allan steadied the ship and Bannockburn would have felt slightly better about things at the close play with the score on 3/54. If Guild St Mary’s can grab a couple of quick wickets early tomorrow, this game will be on for young and old.

BELLARINE Peninsula martial artist Jacob Comelli has challenged himself to take on a World Open Karate Championships in Tokyo this weekend. Comelli has been training with top Japanese fighters Yuji and Kazufumi Shimamoto and former champion Shihan Tadashi Ishihara in Japan since deciding in January to compete at the championships. “It was so tough but amazing to see the intensity and mindset of the number-one guys,” Comelli said. “It’s the biggest dream for anyone in karate to be a part of the world tournament. It will be an amazing opportunity to meet other fighters from all over the world too.” Comelli’s intense training regime for Tokyo involved six days a week of gym work, sprint sessions and body conditioning. He was grateful for the hours of support from fight coach Tsuyoshi Murase and Bellarine Martial Arts Centre head instructor David Jacobs. “Murase is an ex-fighter from Japan and has come fourth in the world tournament,” Comelli said. “He has so much wisdom and knowledge about how to be in control of your spirits in the lead up and during a tournament fight.” While Comelli’s enhanced focus on karate had come with its social challenges, he was enjoying the excitement leading up to the championships. Comelli said he even tried juggling his schedule with organising his own wedding earlier this year. But Comelli and fiancée Amanda Madruga, competing in the tournament’s female draw, had since decided to put the wedding on hold to stay focused on their karate, he said. “It’s a huge draw of 164 men and it’s open weight but I feel content knowing that I’ve done the work. Some training sessions were so hard and it seems that there’s always injuries you have to work around. “I think karate helps me be a better person. It’s something that gives me a stronger mind and I approach other challenges in everyday life with enthusiasm.” This year Comelli also fought at an Arnold Classic in Melbourne, a Shinkyokushinkai National Championships in Sydney and a Shinkyokushin Selection Tournament at Breakwater. Comelli also has previous experience representing Australia internationally. Comelli said he was focusing on his first fights, against fighters from Denmark and Japan. The championship runs from 31 October to 1 November at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium.

SNAPPER catches increased again over the past week with the outer harbour between Clifton Springs and Point Henry producing the best fishing. Nine-year-old Harrison Vick headed and father Dale baiting up with salted pilchard on Saturday when the youngster hooked up a hard-running fish. With a little bit of help from dad, Harrison boated a snapper just under seven kilograms. Many anglers fishing the edge of the channel at anchor caught plenty of silver whiting, especially on sabiki rigs baited with small pieces of pilchard. The fresh whiting were then converted to some of the best snapper captures. Brian Long and John Mole fished the spoil grounds near Point Henry, catching lots of pinkies to 50cm on soft plastics. John hooked up a fish he estimated at 6kg but which escaped at the side of the boat after a 20-minute fight. The same area and Alcoa Pier also been produced salmon to 1kg. Tackleworld’s Adam Van Der Lugt fished Queenscliff for silver trevally on Sunday with Z-man grubs in the Motor Oil colour. Using a 1/12 jig head, he landed trevally to 40cm while other anglers caught pinkies to 50cm on Turtleback worms in Pumpkinseed. Squid were caught from Queenscliff right around to Clifton Springs, with Lonsdale Bight producing specimens to 3.5kg. Yamashita and Hyabusa jigs in sizes 3 and 3.5 worked well. The Barwon River between Queen’s Park and Shannon Avenue began yielding redfin to 800gm, although plenty of smaller fish kept anglers busy. Small hard-body lures and minnow-style plastics did the damage. Some large carp were also present in the same area, with corn and worms the most-productive baits. I targeted trout in some of the smaller streams between Lorne and Apollo Bay, landing some nice fish while casting small hard-body lures in the lower reaches. The fish were not large but the surroundings made up for their size. Many anglers travelled to Lake Eildon for the Australian Yellowbelly Championships last weekend. Plenty of quality fish were caught, with Scott Walters’s 60cm fish on a soft plastic among the best. Reports indicate the fish have started moving into the shallow margins so anglers wishing to target them should fish shallow with soft plastics and vibes. Targeting quality snapper in the outer-harbour or pinkies and trevally at Queenscliff should be worthwhile over the next week. Otherwise, squid will continue to dominate captures around the peninsula and barrel tuna should still be available offshore.
