Parking crush Increased parking pressure in Geelong’s CBD is forcing City Hall to undertake a comprehensive review to meet future demand. Several new high-rise developments would likely put further pressure on parking, a recent City Hall

New strategy for city statement said. CBD trader and former mayor Hayden Spurling urged the City to add levels to its existing car parks. Mr Spurling said there had been

no major parking developments since he had been mayor in 1987. “The real problem is since amalgamation there hasn’t been any addition to off-street car parking in any

Two face court over theft troit Crescent about 2.30pm on Sunday. Geelong Crime Investigation Unit detectives said the woman struck her head on the ground during the incident and sustained minor injuries. The man ran to Quebec Avenue with the purse where he fled on a green road bike, detectives alleged. Police arrested the pair in Geelong CBD on Thursday.

Detectives charged the 22-year-old man with armed robbery, obtaining property by deception, burglary and theft of a motor vehicle. They charged the 17-year-old girl with multiple deception-related offences. She will appear before a children’s court at a later date. Earlier in the week detectives released CCTV footage showing a man knocking over a woman, before snatching her purse.

Latest crime figures make better reading, say police By Luke Voogt Police are making significant inroads into crime, according to Geelong Superintendent Craig Gillard. Supt Gillard cited internal data from Geelong Police Station that was three months more up to date than data released by Crime Statistics Agency Victoria on Thursday. He compared crime for the year to date to the same period the previous year. “There’s some really good results in the last nine months,” he said. “If we keep tracking how we are, the 20162017 calendar is looking much better (than the agency data). “But there’s still a lot of work to do.”

Superintendent Craig Gillard. 158491

According to Supt Gillard, commercial burglaries were down 20.5 per cent while residential burglaries were down 9 per cent. “Aggravated burglaries are the ones that are

causing us grief - they’re up 50 per cent.” Supt Gillard said the tactic of targeting known recidivist offenders was yielding good results. “Handling stolen good offences are 16 per cent,” he said “but that’s a good sign because that’s a police detected offence.” Vehicle theft was up 10 per cent while theft from vehicles was down 7 per cent, Supt Gillard said and added that thefts were down by 41 per cent. Of the about 2000 thefts from vehicles, half occurred due to unlocked doors, he said. “To me that is astounding.” The agency’s data indicated increases in crime, including burglary and assault, during the 2016 calendar year. Bail offences decreased from 537 to 450 from 2015 to 2016 during the January-December period.

Parking crush hurts City From Front Page He added the City would most likely need to go underground at Haymarket car park due to the nearby St Mary’s Basilica. “There needs to be a development with that site. Although going underground is quite expensive.” Mr Spurling said while demand for parking had increased, the strict policing of meters was discouraging some shoppers. “Today it’s bang and you’re gone,” he said. “People wanting to do business in the CBD are being discriminated against. It’s not only the shoppers but the businesses themselves.” In the last six months of 2016 the City collected $6.4 million in parking fines. Mr Spurling urged the City to put more of that money into new parking rather relying on it “to enhance its bottom line”. “Where is that money going?” he said. “Back to general revenue.” Mr Spurling said a number of new developments in Geelong did not fully account for the parking demand they would cause. “If we’re trying to get more residents or businesses into the CBD, we must provide for them,” he said. “Certainly, most developers seek to have their car parking requirements reduced so they can put in more apartments and offices.” The new Worksafe headquarters will have three levels of parking for its 700-plus employees while the NDIA headquarters will have 166 car parks for its 450 staff.

In Brief RIP-OFF MERCHANT A Torquay accountant who ripped off hundreds of clients in Geelong will spend at least the next four years in jail. Kaylene Hussen pleaded guilty to 11 charges for thefts and deceptions totalling $2.2 million.

SEARCH FOR KILLER Detectives offered $1 million for information on the murder of 16-year-old boy in Geelong CBD more than two decades ago. Ricky was stabbed to death more than two decades ago in Market Square on 5 May, 1995.

POLLIES OF THE ROUNDTABLE State Geelong MP Christine Couzens met with local advanced manufacturing leaders in a roundtable meet- Christine Couzens ing to discuss the future of the sector yesterday. Meanwhile Corangamite MP Sarah Henderson held her own roundtable on Wednesday aimed at making the region “a better place to do business“.

SPEARGUN SHOCK Colac Otway Shire Councillor Chris Smith had a narrow escape after a man allegedly tried to shoot him with a spear gun. The man fired a spear gun at Cr Smith before smashing the windscreen of his car with a hammer as the councillor drove away, police alleged.

WORD UP Last November’s Word for Word Non-Fiction sold 60 per cent more tickets than the previous year, according to a recent evaluation. About 5000 people passed through the doors of the iconic Geelong Library and Heritage Centre for the festival.

CORIO COLLISION

PARKING PRESSURE: Hayden Spurling at Haymarket Car Park. 166179 A planned residential development on Cavendish Street, Miramar Geelong, will have two parks for each three-bedroom apartment and one for every two-bedroom apartment. In a recent statement the City’s Brett Luxdord promoted the Park and Ride bus service, which he said was operating at under capacity.

Mr Luxford said students returning to Deakin University would add pressure to CBD parking and that the City was examining an additional Park and Ride location for students. The City’s comprehensive car parking strategy would look at options such as off-street parking, Mr Luxford said.

A four-car collision in Corio left a 72-yearold Norlane man in the Royal Melbourne Hospital with serious leg and abdominal injuries yesterday. A van travelling north hit the driver’s side of the car when the man drove into the intersection of Purnell Road and the Princess Highway, according to Geelong Highway Patrol. The car smashed into two stationary cars on the opposite side of the highway before the man reversed into a nearby carwash, police said.

Double Take AFL star opts to take Tumble She stars on the field in the inaugural season of the AFL’s competition for women, but Geelong’s Lily Mithen might meet her match when she returns home this weekend. The 19-year-old has volunteered to power a “Leprechaun Tumble” during Sunday’s Irish Folk Festival at St Patrick’s Primary School, Geelong West. Apparently the tumble involves pedalling a stationary bike that powers a tumbling raffle barrel. But the catch, or maybe that should be ‘mark’ in Lily’s case, is that the crowd gets to say when the draw takes place. And the festival tumble has three draws. Sounds like a risky commitment on a tired footy player’s day off. Luckily, for Lily at least, Geelong doesn’t have an AFL women’s team - or she could have been in for the pedalling of a lifetime! Stepmotherly treatment for Avalon? Parochial types might have been concerned at this week’s announcement of a third airport for “Melbourne”. Apparently, State Government’s ‘Plan Melbourne 2017-2050’ calls for acquisition of land in the city’s southeast to build a $5 billion airport. And the land must be secured in the next five years, which raises questions about the state’s support for Avalon’s development. Sure, the government has subsidised Jetstar

to continue flying from what we in Geelong would call “our” airport. But if Avalon’s only large-scale operator of passenger flights needs taxpayer largesse to stay on site then surely the airport’s already up against it in competing with big-daddy Tullamarine. Logistics might be partly behind the plan, what with the growth of Melbourne’s southeastern suburbs and all, but surely the government should ensure Avalon’s viability before even floating the idea of state-supported competition. Airport reclassification Meanwhile, the Federal Government could lift its game on Avalon as well. As the Indy revealed prior to last year’s election, both major parties made a bipartisan pledge to reclassify the airport as the first step toward international flights. The classification, the Indy revealed a month earlier, was the previously unknown stumbling block to development of an international terminal - an ongoing dreams of airport management and locals alike for the past decade. So all these months later, how’s that reclassification going? Over to you, Liberal Member for Corangamite, Sarah Henderson. They’ve got the power On not-so-unrelated matters, readers might like to consider the latest initiative of Geelong’s astute Costa Group. The fruit and vegie giant has ordered a bunch of back-up generators to safeguard its mountains of perishable stock ahead of forecast power shortages in Victoria, according to The Weekly Times.

Coast kids’ colourful imaginations Two six-year-olds have painted a bright future for themselves as arts prodigies. Torquay’s Thor Van Haelen and Ocean Grove’s Kiera Charleston both scored a gold medal for reaching their age-group finals at a Young Australian Art Awards. Thor tells the latest edition of Geelong Coast Kids magazine that he likes to use his imagination. “I like animals and stuff that isn’t real. I like making stuff up - and squirrels.” Keira’s inspiration is more down-to-earth and sometimes up in the air. “I like to paint birds because they’re beautiful and they feed their babies.” Both young talents and lots of other local faces, issues and activities feature in the autumn edition of Geelong Coast Kids, available free at hundreds of pick-up points around the region.

Inviting new look Barwon Health officially launched its $2 million aged-care hostel refurbishment at the McKellar Centre on Thursday. The two-year project gave new life to the organisation’s four Percy Baxter Lodge hostels - home to 80 residents - Aged Care Director Ben Maw said. “We’ve got four very individual hostels now, when things could have been very cookie cutter and looked the same,” he said. “The big success was the resident engagement and the family involvement, working with us to swap facilities and move rooms.” The upgrade works included replacing carpets, painting walls, improving lighting and commissioning Aboriginal paintings to feature in each lodge. Mr Maw said the “overdue” refurbishment improved the facility’s liveability and prepared it for the future.

“It gives the residents a friendlier, spruced-up area and it’s certainly more inviting when you walk through the door. “We’ve given them a blank canvas and it’s quite special that they can personalise it themselves. “The launch coinciding with National Close the Gap Day was perfect in the context of being able to celebrate what we’ve achieved.” Indigenous artist Nathan Patterson created a mural and four new artworks for the project with lodge residents and Hamlyn Banks Primary School students. “It was a privilege working with a lot of these elderly residents, sharing my story and hearing theirs as well,” he said. “One thing I thought was important was that sharing of knowledge with the older generation.”

Officials crushed more than 2500 unsafe toys and products at Newcomb Wednesday in a warning to dodgy manufacturers. Consumer Affairs Minister Marlene Kairouz supervised the crushing of the items including home-made bows, hundreds of ‘rip-off ’ sunglasses and a monkey bike with faulty brakes. “Kid’s safety comes first,” she said. “That’s why we have inspectors on the beat, enforcing tough standards on all toys and products.” “Geelong traders are on notice - if you’re selling unsafe products, you can face fines of up to $1.1 million.” Ms Kairouz admitted there was a fun side to preventing the items ending up children’s hands. “I love crushing (them),” she said. Toys made up the majority of the products, including blow-up pools which could cause a drowning hazard and battery-operated items. Local Consumer Affair’s representative Philip Hunter warned parents to carefully check safety

labels and make sure battery casings were secure. “Look for small parts that can break off and become a choking hazard. Our other major concern is projectiles that can cause eye injuries.” A number of toys were capable of shooting improvised projectiles, while testing revealed some of the bows were able to dint a wooden fence. Mr Gardner said the authority seized large bags on sunglasses from rural shows and “two dollar shops” due to their lack of correct labelling. “The majority offer no protection whatsoever,” he said. Officials also destroyed unsafe cots and children’s nightwear. Consumer Affairs Victoria inspectors in the Barwon South West region conducted 146 inspections and seized more than 300 non-compliant products during 2016. Anyone with concerns about product safety can phone Consumer Affairs Victoria on 1300 36 48 94 or visit consumer.vic.gov.au Suppliers that fail to comply with safety standards face fines of up to $220,000 for individuals and $1.1 million for companies.

Bluebird takes heart in new home By Luke Voogt After years of searching and a summer of working bees, local charity Bluebird Foundation has finally found its home. “They say that ‘home is where the heart is’,” said the foundation’s Bron Lawson at Bluebird House in South Geelong on Wednesday. “Well, there’s been a lot of heart put into this place and it certainly feels like a home for Bluebird and the work we do for the community.” Volunteers transformed the dark, dingy, weatherboard cottage into a vibrant arts space, with the help of donations from locals and businesses. They worked tirelessly to clean stained carpets and mould, tidy the garden and paint the cottage from top to bottom, Bron said. “We had a whole week between Christmas and new year’s of different people coming to help. I’m so impressed with the energy and enthusiasm people brought with them.” Bron said the house would help make the notfor-profit group “self-sustainable” by allowing it launch “user-pays” programs and store equipment. “We were desperate for storage space - until now all our equipment was stored in the houses of our artists and volunteers.” Local donors contributed everything in the house from instruments to the toilet brush, she said. “At the moment we’re almost entirely reliant on philanthropic grants and donations.” In one of those programs, Geelong artist Laura Alice will run for classes for eight to12-year-olds and a Girls Street Art Collective for teens. But Bron said Bluebird would continue to operate programs “out in the community” - like its art groups for children in the 3214 and 3219 postcodes. “Close to 200 people access our programs each week. We need to meet them at their point of need.”

PITCHING IN: Eliza and Rosie, the daughters of Bluebird Foundation artists Bron Lawson and Liz McGrath, help paint the group’s South Geelong cottage. In one of the foundation’s newer programs, local songwriters will team with homeless teens. Bron said the program would help the teens’ development and “reduce the stigma surrounding homeless people”. “Music and songwriting is a really powerful way to share stories and connect.” The program will feature the talents of Tim Neal, Jack Robbins, Sarah Carroll and Lucy Jones - who was at the Bluebird House on Wednesday.

Lucy is employed as an artist at the foundation, after an extensive musical theatre career and 30 years teaching piano. “I love songwriting,” she said. Lucy runs music and art Playlinks classes for children and parents in Geelong’s north. “It’s a genuine attempt to make connections between people. You really see change in the people you work with.” Bron said Bluebird Foundation has completed

20 projects for more than 5000 marginalised people in Geelong, with the help dozens of artists and volunteers. The foundation will officially open its new headquarters on 26 March, with market stalls, food and a chance to work with local artists Laura Alice and Liz McGrath. During term two the foundation will launch its Workshops at Bluebird House where young artists can book a space to teach.

FOREVER YOUNG: Val Hannah, 83, in action. 166161

Dance moves keep Val young By Luke Voogt Val Hannah’s mum “always vowed if she had a little girl” her daughter would learn to dance. “My mother wanted to learn herself,” the 83-year-old told The Indy at Geelong Trades Hall. “But in those days it just wasn’t the done thing - father wouldn’t let her dance.” So Val’s mother enrolled her in dance classes in 1937. “I started classes when I was four years old and I haven’t stopped,” the Herne Hill resident said. Seventy-nine years later and the spritely octogenarian tap-dancer still teaches three classes a week. “Although now I don’t have all the classes I used to,” Val said, “I’ve scaled it down a bit.” For as long as Val can remember she has raised money for Bethany Community Support to help victims of domestic violence. “Now I’ve got a troupe of 25 ladies and we go around to all the nursing homes,” she said. “We don’t charge - they just give whatever they feel like. “It’s lovely to go there because the residents just love it - the costumes are nice and bright and we do all the old tunes they know. “I don’t actually entertain now,” she added. “I just tell everyone what to do.” And Val is not even the eldest in the troupe. “One of the ladies is turning 88 next week,” she said. Val performed in the Ballet of the Geelong Musical Comedy Company for 50 consecutive

shows over about 25 years since 1945. She started teaching jazz and ballet classes in the ’60s to adults and “little ones” while working in retail. Her own grandchild Cassie Bayden competes in elite ballroom dancing, she told The Indy proudly. After 55 years teaching at Geelong Trades Hall Val is “part and parcel of the place”. “I don’t know how many secretaries I’ve seen through the years - I’ve seen them all off.” Certainly, she has won her fair share of friends during the last half century. “Morning lovely!” union reps greeted her with as they walked in on Thursday morning. “Val’s fantastic,” said current Trades Hall secretary Colin Vernon, “we love having her at the hall.” And she plans to dance there for many years yet, to stave off “old people diseases” like arthritis and osteoporosis. “I’ve got to dance to show (my students) what to do!” she said. “I stiffen up if I don’t dance - I couldn’t do without it.” “The doctor said ‘whatever you do don’t stop dancing’.” Although another doctor had a different advice after Val fell and skinned her calf during a lesson. “They said ‘do you think it’s time you started using a walking frame, dear?’” she said. Not for a while, judging by Val’s dismissive laughter. 9 GEELONG INDY Friday, 17 March, 2017

PARTNERSHIP: A public-private agreement has allowed more patients access to surgery with the ’cutting-edge’ da Vinci robot.

A cutting-edge robot is helping public urology patients recover faster, thanks to a new partnership between Barwon Health and Geelong Private Hospital. Geelong Hospital’s director of urological surgery Richard Grills operated the $4 million da Vinci surgical robot last week during a four-hour prostate removal. Mr Grills said the device’s four arms enabled more precise surgery with minimal access - particularly useful for urological procedures. “This device enables a significantly greater degree of surgical precision than the human hand,” he said. “It’s a much less complicated experience for the patient compared to a traditional open urological surgery. Mr Grills said the device allowed patients to return to work after two or three weeks instead of six weeks, and discharge from hospital within two days. “Post-operative pain is significantly less and there is less risk of infection and blood transfusion.” Mr Grills said Geelong urologists wanted to ensure there was equity of access for robotic surgery. “Although robotic surgery is well-established in private hospitals, for public hospitals the cost of the technology is pretty challenging.” But a partnership between Barwon Health and Geelong Private Hospital, the robot’s owners, allowed more patients access to robotic surgery, he said. “For Geelong patients, it doesn’t matter whether you have private insurance or not - you can still have your prostate surgery performed robotically.” An estimated 30 public patients will undergo surgery with the da Vinci robot at Geelong Private Hospital this year.

Jobs boost set Local business confidence is soaring, according to a yearly Deakin survey commissioned by Geelong Chamber of Commerce. Almost half of businesses in the third annual Geelong Business Trends Survey expected to hire more staff in 2017. Some 79 per cent expected their sales to increase while 77 per cent anticipated a rise in profits for the current financial year. Geelong Chamber of Commerce chief executive officer Bernadette Uzelac was delighted with the results, which indicated a “slight rise” from last year. “What’s pleasing is that several of Geelong’s key industries, including manufacturing, are very optimistic about the future direction of the region’s economy,” she said. “Our manufacturing sector, which has been the backbone of Geelong’s economy for more than a

century, is reinventing itself from its `traditional’ base into new niche areas.” Deakin University vice-chancellor Professor Jane den Hollander said Geelong was becoming “a smart city where wealth is created through education and jobs for the industries of the future”. “We are seeing this come to fruition through the Geelong Innovation Precinct at our Waurn Ponds campus. “In five years, the precinct has led directly to the creation of over 1000 jobs through industry partnerships and co-location opportunities.” Deakin Business School’s Professor Barry Cooper said that the survey results were a reflection of a city embracing change. “As a city in transition, it is common to see some ups and downs in business performance,“ Professor Cooper said.

More than 210,664 people attended the event breaking the previous 2001 record by more than 9000, the organisers said. The public days saw 176,742 people attend, while 33,922 people attended the industry-only days, again a record. Air show chief executive officer Ian Honnery said many factors contributed to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;outstanding resultâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were blessed with perfect weather and had a great array of aircraft including the Joint Strike Fighter which was making its Australian debut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thank our patrons, exhibitors and stakeholders for contributing to this brilliant outcome.â&#x20AC;? The air showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aerospace and Defence Exhibition attracted a record 664 exhibitor companies from Australia and 25 countries. Companies exhibiting gained more than $24-billion worth of business opportunities, Mr Honnery said.

The event also attracted 158 Australian and foreign delegations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have established ourselves as the premier aviation, aerospace and defence trade event in Australia and the Asia Indo-Pacific region,â&#x20AC;? Mr Honnery said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We provide a shop window for local technology innovators and as such we bring the world to Australia and take Australia to the world.â&#x20AC;? Mr Honnery thanked the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), State Government and City of Greater Geelong for their support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They play a key role and without them the air show would not exist.â&#x20AC;? The show featured 634 aircraft with 108 military planes from eight nations. Of these 61 were RAAF planes while 12 were from the United States Air Force. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The RAAF brought a record number of aircraft to this air show,â&#x20AC;? Mr Honnery said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also appreciative of the involvement of the United States Air Force which has been a long-time supporters of ours.â&#x20AC;?

Five injured in accidents Two crashes that put five people in hospital have prompted an appeal for safety on local roads. Both two were T-bone smashes, in which one vehicle hit the side of another. Both accidents also forced rescuers to use ‘Jaws of Life’ equipment to free trapped victims. The crashes led to South Barwon SES spokesman Scott Clark urging motorists twice in just over 24 hours to take greater care. “Obviously people aren’t getting the message,” he said after the second smash. The first smash left a 30-year-old driver trapped by the legs on the corner of Geelong-Ballan and Steiglitz Rds, Moorabool, about 12.45pm on Monday, Mr Scott said. “SES and CFA crews worked together to re-

move the driver’s side of the vehicle.” The crews spent about 30 minutes freeing the man before helping paramedics to extricate him. An air ambulance flew him to The Alfred hospital in a stable condition with multiple injuries. Paramedics at the scene also took a man and a woman in their 30s and another man in his 20s to Geelong hospital with minor injuries. The crash caused a long-weekend traffic “disaster” as vehicles backed up along Geelong’s bypass, Mr Scott said. He called the accident “a timely reminder” for motorists to take greater care. “Just be aware during long weekends there’s more traffic on the roads. Take more time to plan your trip and share the driving.”

Geelong Highway Patrol investigated the crash. Emergency crews rescued a woman trapped after a two-car crash at the intersection of Torquay Rd and Church St, Grovedale, just before 2pm on Tuesday. CFA and SES crews used Jaws of Life to remove the car roof before helping paramedics for 20 minutes to free the woman. An ambulance took the woman, believed to be in her 20s, to Geelong Hospital in a stable condition with head injuries.

The Best Foreign Language Film nominee will launch the festival on 28 March. Tanna is a tale of forbidden love between Vanuatu tribeswoman Wawa and her chief ’s grandson, Dain, even though she is betrothed to another man in a peace deal following a tribal war. Tanna co-director Bentley Dean will attend the launch to answer audience questions. “It’s an honour to be able to present Tanna at the opening night of the Bethany Arthouse Film Festival,” Dean said. “It’s a wonderful festival with a very big heart.” The crew from another Australian film featuring in the festival, Monsieur Mayonnaise, will also take questions from the festival-launch audience. Bethany Community Support’s Grant Boyd said the festival was a great night out for an excellent cause as Bethany’s major fund-raiser. The festival runs until the end of August with five international and Australian films.

Factory expands By Luke Voogt A new $3m Lara plastic factory has created a handful of jobs and could bring a dozen more to Geelong, according to its management. Axieo chief operating officer Jade Weiss said the company hoped to increase its Asia and US export markets in the next five years. “We probably have the capacity to build a second shed and double (production) - the site’s quite large.” This could mean doubling the site’s workforce to 24, Ms Weiss said. The 80,000 square metre site will replace Axieo’s existing Geelong plant. “It was a pretty old rundown site,“ Ms Weiss said. The company has hired an extra four employees and relocated its eight Geelong staff to the new site. Ms Weiss admitted the company had looked at

offshoring the operation to Asia or moving it to its Thomastown facility. “We decided - if we could - we’d prefer to stay in Geelong because we have a very long term workforce there. I’m proud that we’ve managed to keep the facility here.” “It’s pretty high-skilled work what the guys do operating the machines. (They) have an awful lot of know-how - it’s quite an art.” In an “Australian first” the new plant will manufacture black carbon-based plastic pellets or ‘masterbatch’. Masterbatch has a number of uses including exterior cables, major infrastructure piping, water tanks and explosives storage containers requiring exceptional static discharge properties. “The facility will allow us to make grades that had previously been brought into Australia,” Ms Weiss said. She added she was excited to work with other manufacturers in Geelong’s “Carbon Cluster HQ“.

Victorian Regional Channels Authority CEO Michael Harvey BUMPER EXPORTS: Geelong Port set a multitude of new records in February.

Bumper year for exports: Port’s new high for grains tides, vessel dynamics and channel dimensions to determine safe maximum loads. GrainCorp’s Victorian Ports manager Craig Cochrane said the authority introduced the technology at the best possible time. “Victoria has experienced a record harvest, more than three times bigger than last year, and we are seeing strong international demand for Victorian grain.” “The DUKC technology has enabled us to load larger ships which improves the global competitiveness of Victorian grain as well as our operational efficiency.” Mr Cochrane said GrainCorp expected to load a further 15 to 20 vessels in Geelong over the next two months subject to demand. “It has been great working with the VRCA, and we have had very positive feedback from our international customers on the technology.’’

The VRCA introduced the DUKC technology in Corio Bay’s shipping lanes in early 2016 increasing the maximum draught from 11.6 metres to 11.9 metres. Mr Harvey said VRCA last month aimed to increase the maximum allowable draught to 12 metres, allowing for further increases in cargo. “Geelong is Victoria’s biggest and most important bulk port, and it’s vital it stays competitive and prosperous now and in the future,’’ he said. February’s shipping records at Geelong Port: · Canola - more than 61,900 tonnes; · Wheat - almost 61,800 tonnes; · Barley -about 62,500 tonnes; · Highest grain export in one month - 393,560 tonnes; · Highest total exports in one month - 412,750 tonnes of grain and woodchips.

Record grain exports sailed out of Geelong in February according to the Victorian Regional Channels Authority (VCRA). The authority’s chief executive officer Michael Harvey said GrainCorp exported a monthly record of 393,560 tonnes from Geelong Port, thanks to new technology and a bumper crop. “It’s all about allowing ships to carry larger cargoes,’’ he said, “that’s just what GrainCorp has achieved with its fleet of records in February.“ Mr Harvey said Dynamic Under Keel Clearance (DUKC) technology allowed the corporation to load the largest tonnages of canola, wheat and barley at Geelong Port ever. The authority introduced the sophisticated monitoring system in early 2016 to allow ships to safely load to maximum capacity with “pin-point accuracy”, Mr Harvey said. The system uses complex algorithms based on

Letters Ocean road leads to Avalon for G21 Double Take (Geelong Indy, 10 March) questioned the value of G21’s annual $450,000 ratepayer funding. Also rightfully noted was poor form from what should be the region’s preeminent advocacy body along with ’’shameful others’’ - committees, chambers and the like - which have dutifully toed the Melbourne-centric Andrews government’s Land 400 contract line. Nevertheless, for all its ongoing dilly-dallying and kowtowing, effective regional one-voice advocacy, which is the way it has to be, is best served by G21 as a five-municipality-representative body. Hence, it was pleasing to note also in the same edition of the Indy that G21 supported Great Ocean Road management consolidation and infrastructure. What G21 now has to do, given at-best-feeble governance action, is to support Avalon Airport’s development of international accreditation, freshfood export hub and related infrastructure by allocating it as G21’s number-one pillar priority. The Great Ocean Road upgrade push could then be dovetailed with what Avalon’s inbound Asian tourism would bring to the table. Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Hoons put on an airshow at Lara I made some observations regarding Victoria Police’s presence at Lara during the Australian International Airshow. First, I congratulate everyone involved with the successful 2017 air show. But I was disappointed by the lack of extra police resources at Lara. This was especially noticeable from Thursday to Sunday which included the air show’s public days when the Lara campsite filled rapidly. At this time the campsite experienced theft and loutish behaviour that might have been avoided if a police presence had randomly patrolled Lara as a whole. Also, children were tearing around on trail-

Insanely subsidising new Dark Age Greg Abramovitch (Letters, 10 March) talked about the “dissociation of fantasy and reality” of Allan Barron (Letters, 3 March) but then proceeded to dissociate himself from any semblance of reality. For example, he wrote that Victorian coal-generated electricity was inefficient. The easily verified fact is that it generates electricity at about one third the cost of renewables. Mr Abramovitch alleged that renewable energy was cheaper than coal but admitted it had to be subsidised to be viable and then he insisted that coal was also subsidised. Anyone who checks will find that so-called coal subsidies are virtually all normal tax office incentives for mineral exploration and export along with the diesel rebate, which applies to all industry, not just coal. As far as I’m aware, coal electricity generation

plants receive no significant subsidies from governments. The Victorian Government tripled royalties payable on coal in its last budget, which will cost coal plants an extra $252 million over four years. In addition to this, every time new windmills are built coal profits drop further because highly subsidised, intermittent, fragile wind-generated electricity always has first access to the grid and coal must ramp generation down. The giant Hazelwood plant will close in a couple of weeks because of the creeping cancer of renewables. I predict that within two years Victoria will suffer blackouts, load shedding and costs will have risen at least 25 per cent. Total insanity! Peter Rees Bell Park

Dark Ages of green power Leigh Adamson seems to think we generate electricity “to lower the world’s temperature”. No amount of unreliable wind or solar power, even with the storage capacity it lacks now, will ever do that.

Email: editorial@geelongindependent.com.au 78 Moorabool St, Geelong, 3220 Fax: 5249 6799 No, Malcolm Turnbull’s promotion of a highefficiency, low-emission coal plant in northern Queensland is to strengthen the security of the eastern Australian power grid, threatened by South Australia’s destruction of its own grid and Victoria’s intention to follow suit by closing its coal generators and banning gas exploration. Should the Federal Government fund such a venture? Well, it wouldn’t be necessary if taxpayers’ dollars were not being ploughed into unreliable green power to force coal and gas out of the market. Mr Adamson is sure “we must be the only country in the world” investing in fossil fuels. No, all countries have to burn fossil fuels to keep the lights on. For example, Germany, the green pride of Europe, is now building HELE coal plants, not to mention Japan, China and India. If you don’t want to live in the dark, switch on the fossil fuel.

Her outburst followed the loss of over $1400 on the pokies at one of her favourite gaming venues in Geelong - in less than a couple of hours!

FINALLY FRIDAY

Sliding on back for album launch By Luke Voogt Master guitarist Jeff Lang will return to his old “stomping ground” of Geelong for the launch of his new-album tour Friday night. “It seems as good a place to start as any given that I grew up in G-town,” he told the Indy. The 47-year-old will fill the Geelong Workers Club with the restless strumming of rhythmic blues from his latest release: Alone In Bad Company. “There’ll be some songs that I haven’t played live at all and they’ll be getting a run,” he said. “We’re happy with how the album came out. It’s got a real distinct mood - some of the songs are very stripped back.” Lang grew up at Highton and first picked up the slide guitar at age 14. His love for music “percolated” to the sound of AC/DC, Bob Dylan, Leo Kottke and Ry Cooder on his parents’ record player. “At a certain point I feel in love with sound,” he said. “Around my early teens it became all-consuming and took over everything else.” Lang cut his teeth on Geelong’s pub scene as a teen during the late-1980s at iconic live music venues, like ‘The Nash’ and The Carlton. He quickly became known as one of the city’s most skilled guitarists. “It rolled into a career almost by accident,” he said. “It’s the only job I’ve ever had - I feel very lucky to do something that I love. But no one gave the career to me, I had to do it.” Lang moved to Sydney 1991, where he lived in his van for 10 years. “Just being obsessed with music” would lead Lang to release 12 albums from 1994 onwards,

along with several collaborations. “Collaborating with great musicians is definitely one of the things that’s a high point.” Now he lives in Melbourne, but regularly gets down to Geelong to play or see the folks.

“It’s always been a good audience for live music in Geelong,” he said. Lang adores the “vocal quality” of the slide guitar, which he likened to sweet cry. “It’s an ongoing quest to find different ways of

expressing that,” he said. He released his latest album two weeks ago and said it had reinvigorated his whole repertoire. “It kind of casts new light off the old songs and gives them an extra charge,” he said.

CLASSIC THEATRE: The cast of The World of Musicals in action.

“All those elements really help you get into your character.” Johanne struggled to name her favourite character to play but a couple of musical numbers stood out. “The We Will Rock You section is one of my favourites,” she said. “My other favourite would be Defying Gravity

from Wicked - I love sinking my teeth into that every night.” Johanne was looking forward to seeing some of her family when the show headed to Perth. “My very first singing teacher moved to Australia a good few years ago too,” she said. “It was her who said ‘you need to go to London and train’.” “She’s coming to see me in Frankston and she’s

Playing a kaleidoscope of characters across the world is a dream job for Scottish actress Rebekah Johanne. Johanne plays several characters in The World of Musicals, which comes to Geelong Sunday direct from London’s West End. “I’m enjoying the opportunity to perform so many genres in one different show,” she said last week en route to her next show in Surfers Paradise. The show features acts from some of the mostloved plays of all time, like Les Miserable, Sister Act, Jersey Boys, Cabaret and Wicked. “Although I’m not in every single one of them thank goodness,” Johanne said. Johanne grew up in Scotland and trained in musical theatre in London. “I’m fortunate my mum and dad were very much into music,” she said, “we grew up being taken to a lot of shows and plays.” She now lives in Dublin and has played in iconic roles across the UK, along with touring the US, Canada and China “I’ve been with this show since 2014,” she said. “You get see the world go by as you drive so that’s lovely.” “Now quite luckily I’ve landed in the sunshine in Australia. It’s amazing - it’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to go. “It’s such a warm country but not as in the weather - the people seem very welcoming.” Joahanne has the challenge of morphing into several different characters in one show, like Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West) and the Rocky Horror Show’s Janet. “They’re all so different,” she said. “I really have to be on the ball.” But she said the show’s “fantastic” costumes, lighting and backdrops helped.

“For me, I feel like it’s a natural thing I do - I love that I can interpret a story through song. “(The audience) can be transported somewhere else and I love being a part of that.” Paladino performs yearly at Melbourne’s Carols by Candlelight and was a regular on the iconic Hey Hey It’s Saturday. “They were the wonderful days of television. Nowadays we don’t have much to showcase true Australian talent - it’s definitely harder now.” She encouraged aspiring performers to chase their dreams for the right reasons. “Fame and fortune come and go. You have to love it with from the depth of your soul or else it becomes too hard.” Paladino will also perform songs from her latest CDs in her concert On My Own at the Geelong Performing Arts Centre on 22 and 23 March.

ADVERTISING IN THE INDY REALLY WORKS I advertised my orange peel powder supplement only in the Indy and a Deakin professor phoned me about researching it – he saw the ad. My powder also sold out at Diversitat Wholefood in just days. If it wasn’t for the Indy the opportunities that have opened up for me would never have happened.

Advertising in the Geelong Indy’s been amazing.

Victorian musical theatre icon Silvie Paladino will return to Geelong this month to perform the songs which made her career. “It’s a mixture of songs from musicals I’ve been involved in for the last 20 years,” she told the Indy this week. Paladino said she had enjoyed making the trip down the highway to Geelong for past performances. “I love that it’s by the bay and the style of homes that are there. It’s got a nice feeling about it and the people are a little more relaxed.” The multi-award winning artist will sing her favourites, including the hits of Barbra Streisand and Eva Cassidy. She will also pay tribute to her musical theatre career with classics like I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables. The theatre classic launched Paladino’s career in 1989. “I was lucky enough to play both Fantine and Eponine in 10 years,” she said. The former role won her Best Supporting Actress in the 1991 Melbourne Green Room Awards while the latter saw her travel to London’s West End. Paladino fondly remembers singing at the 2005 Grand Final in front of her father and 91,988 people. “The roar of the crowd after I finished the national anthem was the most exhilarating moment of my career,” she said. “I’m really blessed to have been able to do that. It was a great moment to be Australian.” She has also sung at the NRL Grand Final, the V8 Supercars in Phillip Island and for Roger Federer’s foundation. But despite her unique gigs she said every show had been a “highlight in some way”.

Bright future set With much talk in the media about the need to have a strong focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education in schools, Christ the King has been one of the frontrunners in designing and delivering opportunities for its students in this vitally important area. In a world that is ever-changing, understanding the principles of robotics, coding, critical and creative thinking, problem-solving, communication and teamwork are all essential skills that STEM addresses. The school’s programs and opportunities in this area run from foundation through to year six. Being selected to represent Victoria at the First Lego League National Championships in 2016 is evidence of commitment and success with STEM education. After coming second in Victoria, the team progressed to an impressive fifth in the robot programming at the national competitions in Sydney. At Christ the King, a culture of academic excellence extends beyond STEM education. With a personalised, differentiated approach to the core subject areas of literacy and numeracy, strong NAPLAN results are evidence of the significant growth that students make over time. As a Catholic school, Christ the King is committed to developing a social conscience in each and every one of its students. The school places a strong emphasis on developing a sense of compassion and social justice with students actively involved in raising money for their partner-parish, Mary Immaculate in Viqueque, East Timor. At a local level, the school works closely with the Pinchapoo Foundation, collecting and donating toiletries for the homeless, as well as fundraising for St Vincent de Paul. The school believes that by providing opportunities for students to be active and compassionate

Students are inspired to develop both acadamic skills and a strong social conscience. towards others, both locally and internationally, it is preparing students to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to shape a world that is socially just. Underpinning all the initiatives in the school is the strong sense of connection with its families. The school understands that ‘together, we do better’. The school actively works to engage parents through regular feedback about students, student assessment portfolios, community conversations, student-led learning walks, student expos, Little Feet Playgroup and an active community group. Christ the King is a cutting-edge school of the future and the development of new facilities in 2017 will be the icing on the cake. Prep Enrolment Information is on Friday 5 May from 11.30am-1pm and on Tuesday 9 May from 7pm-8.30pm.

St Mary’s Catholic School was established in 1842. This year the school community is celebrating 175 years of supporting and educating students in Geelong’s city centre. St Mary’s is a unique Catholic school offering an urban primary school experience for students in Foundation (prep) to year six. The school’s location allows learning to take place beyond the classroom with ease of access to many resources including Eastern Beach, the botanical gardens, Geelong Library, gallery, historical society and Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food, to name a few. All are within walking distance, allowing students attending St Mary’s to engage regularly with their community in an authentic manner. The school continues to evolve with the city of Geelong and meets the needs of families seeking a quality, Catholic education for their children. The school began humbly in the shadow of the Basilica in 1842. That schoolhouse was outgrown and a new location was sought in Myers Street. The school flourished on this site and educated students for more than 100 years. In 2009, building works were completed in Little Myers Street and the school relocated to its current, modern facility with its open, flexible learning spaces. In 2016 the appointment of new principal Annice Lappin has seen the school again transform. Alterations to the playground have sought to engage students in active, sustained play within a safe and secure environment. Class sizes have been reduced so no class is larger than 24 students. This restructure of classes allows for explicit teaching at each student’s point of need and daily feedback to students about their learning. This restructure has also assisted in the incorporation of Faith and Life Inquiry units.

Car services, brake checks, fixing clutches – getting these jobs done quickly, efficiently and easily requires a solid handful of essentials. One is location, or being able to get to and from the mechanic shop readily. Another is quick access by the mechanic shop to spare parts, which can readily trim a day off the wait for a car’s return. A third consideration is quality work, the fourth is friendly extra care and the fifth is courtesy pick-up and drop-off. Geelong Brake and Clutch’s Denis and Lesley Williams have made meeting each of these points articles of faith at their South Geelong business. Their clients don’t have to fight city traffic to get to them. Expert advice and product knowledge for all makes and models of vehicles – including offroad and heavy duty vehicles – makes GBC an easy choice. Superior customer service and care is the icing on the cake. GBC offers: brake rotors and pads plus rotor machining; drum brake kits and machining; clutch replacement kits and flywheel machining; and an extensive range of suspension parts; driveshaft replacement kits; and a brake and clutch hose fabrication service, all covering most vehicle makes and models including commercial vehicles and 4WDs. “We have a large range of brake and clutch parts usually on hand, making us quicker, easier to access and we take extra care of our customers,” Lesley says. “We go the extra mile to make people realise that they are important to us. And safety is the key issue too, as we all use the road”. “We’re also happy to do no-obligation quotes.” Geelong Brake and Clutch is at 8 Dowsett Street, phone 5222 7411.

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.

Subaru BRZ is a real head-turner.

Hot Subaru is a driver’s treat By Alistair Kennedy Model range We seem to spend much of our road testing time behind the wheels of SUVs nowadays. As much as we appreciate the functionality and convenience of these vehicles they do fall down in one respect … they’re not a lot of fun to drive. So we’ve given ourselves a treat with this week’s road test, the Subaru BRZ, a delightful little 2.0-litre two-door coupe with six-speed manual transmission. Subaru BRZ has been on sale in Australia since 2012 although it didn’t hit the dealers’ showroom floors until 2014 with supply restrictions seeing them sold exclusively over the internet in that interim period. The BRZ is built as a joint venture with Toyota, Subaru’s part-owner, and it competes directly against its near-identical twin, the Toyota 86. The division of labour between the two companies makes sense with Toyota looking after the product planning and styling while Subaru is in charge of its engineering development and manufacture, the latter at Subaru’s Ota plant in Japan. The latest BRZ was released in late 2016 with some minor design tweaks, extra engine outputs and revised suspension tuning. New exterior features include LED headlights and taillights, new 10-spoke, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a wider and lower bumper design. Inside there’s optional red stitching and BRZ embossing on the front seats, enhanced instrument gauges and a new steering wheel. Topping of the package are price reductions with the manual BRZ now selling for $32,990 and the automatic for $34,990, down by $1230 and $1735 respectively on the preceding model. The 2012 model sold for $37,150 (manual) and $39,730 (automatic). The BRZ certainly looks the part with its wide and low stance, short overhangs and flared wheel arches. The front features a large, hexagonal grille with sweeping headlights and the rear is tall and square with an additional brake light positioned between twin large tail pipes. The cabin features a roofline in keeping with the car’s low profile and although it’s necessary to hunker down into the driver’s seat once settled in the seat is firm but comfortable and there’s plenty of leg and headroom. Although technically a four-seater, the two rear seats are only there for emergency use and not for long-distance trips. At 218 litres the boot is relatively small although the rear seatbacks do fold flat for extra storage space. Surprisingly for a car where space is at a premium, BRZ comes with a full-size spare wheel.

BRZ 2.0-litre two-door coupe: $32,990 (manual), $34,990 (automatic) BRZ Premium 2.0-litre two-door coupe: $34,490 (manual), $36,490 (automatic)

Power for the BRZ comes from a 2.0-litre turbocharged horizontally-opposed petrol engine that generates 152 kW of power at 7000 rpm and 212 Nm of torque at 6400 revs (147 kW and 205 Nm with the auto). The engine also sounds great with the characteristic throaty sound of the Subaru ‘boxer’ engine. With our fun focus we made sure that our test car had the six-speed manual, a superbly notchy short-throw unit that’s both fast and smooth and just asks to be used frequently. Both the manual and the six-speed automatic transmissions were specifically developed for the BRZ. The automatic gets paddle gear shifts. BRZ breaks new ground for Subaru in Australia in having rear-wheel drive. All other models sold here have all-wheel drive (AWD). The little Subie coupe gets a five-star ANCAP safety rating courtesy of seven airbags; stability and traction control; ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist; Isofix child seat anchor points; LCD daytime running lights; front and rear fog lights; hill start assist; and reversing camera. Also new for the MY17 BRZ is a Vehicle Dynamic Control ‘Track’ for extra performance. Information display is through a 6.2-inch LCD touchscreen. Bluetooth pairing is fast and logical and the USB and auxiliary sockets are in the front of the central console. The audio system has six speakers but having to compete against the combination of the engine burble and road noise means the sound quality isn’t great. As expected in a car of this type, the ride is firm with plenty of feel for the road yet comfortable enough for an extended trip. Steering is precise and direct with excellent feedback to the driver. Ride comfort is up with the best in this class. There’s no loss of driver confidence in the use of two-wheel rather than four-wheel drive, with the BRZ suspension producing plenty of grip and stability. Driving height is lower than we would prefer but that’s a minor compromise for all the handling benefits. It’s always offered excellent value never more so than now with a price cut and added equipment bringing the starting price down to $32,990 prior to on-road costs.

SPORT Big dance so close now LOCAL CRICKET Jim Timberlake Geelong Cricket Club Third XI has progressed through to the preliminary finals after winning a thrilling semi final against Melbourne University last weekend. Winning the toss and bowling first to give themselves the best chance of taking the necessary 10 wickets, the Cats bowlers were clinical, dismissing their opposition for 149. Josh Mastin took 3/17 while Luke Guest did his bit with 3/35. In reply, Geelong cruised to 3/124 and looked headed to a comfortable win, before an epic collapse of 5/5 saw the pressure rise to almost unbearable levels. But Jared Bailey with 14 not out and Billy Hyde with 9 not out stood up and guided the side to a nail-biting two-wicket win. The side now takes on Ringwood with a spot in the grand final up for grabs. In the Geelong Cricket Association, Murgheboluc pulled off one the great finals upsets knocking off top side North Geelong on the back of a brilliant century by skipper Andrew Murden, as the Frogs racked up 301 on Saturday. With support from Greg Holmes who made 65 and Luke Brown with 51, Murden showed his class to make 129. In reply on Sunday, North Geelong got off to

a great start and at 2/163, they looked in the box seat, with Sam Hall making 86. After tea though, Terry Hill took three middle order wickets to turn the tide, before Dan Grozdanovski cleaned up the tail with 5/61 to see the side progress to the preliminary final. North Geelong lived to fight another day though, with the benefit of finishing on top of the ladder. Second-placed Grovedale were in serious trouble early against Newtown and Chilwell when they fell to 6/48, but an outstanding century to Gareth Yelland saw them finish the day on 212. On day two, the Two Blues were never in the hunt as Tigers openers James Fisher and Chris Young took three early wickets each, and despite the tail wagging somewhat, it was a 75-run win to Grovedale. And in the other game at Burdoo Reserve, East Belmont started brightly getting to 1/80 shortly before break, with Andrew Baars and Sean O’Neill both making 40s. But after tea, it was all St Josephs as Frank Gill produced an exquisite spell of swing bowling to claim 5/32 and dismiss the Lions for just 131. In reply, St Josephs were ruthless, hitting the Lions attack to all corners in a dominant six-wicket win, Justin Foss top-scoring with 71. This week’s preliminary finals see North Geelong take on Grovedale in a game that could go either way, while St Joseph’s will start heavy favourites against Murgheboluc.

In division two, Thomson also pulled off an amazing win against the previously undefeated Bell Park. The Tigers bowled first and controlled play for most of the day, keeping the strong Bell Park batting line-up to just 193. On Sunday, Thomson got off to the perfect start putting on 74 for the first wicket, but at 7/161, it looked like they may have thrown away a golden opportunity. However, Josh Hartshorne and Adam Petterwood dug deep and saw them home in a thriller. Alexander Thomson’s golden run came crashing down in their game against Highton, with the result already decided by the end of day one. The Vikings did all the hard work early, keeping Highton to just 146, but their batsmen couldn’t handle the pressure, being dismissed for just 93 to end what had been a dream couple of months. In the other game Newcomb and District managed to overcome a doggged Marshall at Hirst Reserve. The Bears were in big trouble early at 8/104, but a gutsy 49 to Nathan McCoach gave them something to bowl at, with a total of 169. On Sunday, the game ebbed and flowed all day, but in the end, the Dinos snuck over the line with two wickets in hand. So this week, Highton will take on Bell Park in a game the Dragons should bounce back and win, while Newcomb and District play Thomson in a match where the Dinos will start slight favourites.

GOAL: Juso Julardzija opens his 2017 account. (Ivan Dugandzic)

Weekend clash to test if Warriors are tough enough Soccer, by Josip Zilic According to North Geelong coach Micky Colina, his Warriors are up for a test of character after going down at home against Port Melbourne last weekend. Their next opponent is Northcote City away in round four of the FFA Cup. Northcote sit on top of NPL2 West having bagged 17 goals in six rounds so far, and experienced their first loss last week courtesy of Dandenong Thunder in a comprehensive 4-2 result. Heading into the clash against Port Melbourne the Warriors needed to dust off a lethargic performance from last week and did so, displaying more energy and pressure for most of the match. However it was the visitors who took the lead

when Oleksiy Khrapko finished a low, hard drive past Marko Stevanja in the 19th minute. With the pressure on, the Warriors responded with a period of sustained pressure, getting the reward for it in the 32nd minute, Juso Julardzija neatly finishing from 10 metres out after Bobby Vidanoski’s initial attempt. The tempo for the remainder of the half was with the Warriors as they almost camped themselves in Port’s defence - but lacking the killer instinct allowing several chances to go unpunished. After the break, the Warriors tried keeping the pressure on and were able to find Vidanoski and Julardzija in wide areas, combining well - but they cast lonely figures up front as the Warriors midfield began to show signs of dropping off. Despite their effectiveness on the match Vi-

danoski and Julardzija were substituted for Nicholas Jurcic and Kene Eze who offered gallantly to get keep up the fight the latter having an effort saved by the fingertips of Brendan White soon after coming on. With the Warriors midfield trio dropping off in intensity Port’s Francesco Stella literally seized the moment. In the 69th minute Stella took possession on the corner of the 18-yard box and beautifully curled it into the top corner giving Stevanja no chance. One minute later he was at it again, cruising past North’s midfield to work his way to the left of goal and taking the game out of North Geelong’s reach. Colina was reflective of the performance lift but stressed “we simply didn’t take our chances”.

Laboured for great catch ON THE BITE Chris Pitman Last week’s long weekend gave anglers plenty of opportunity to wet a line. St Leonard’s drew the attention of many boats chasing whiting and squid. The Bourke Street area produced plenty of whiting to 43cm, with anglers doing best on running sinker rigs baited with pippies or mussel and fished next to sand holes among the weed beds. I had a shot on Sunday afternoon, boating numerous whiting to 43cm. The fish really fired up toward sunset. Squid were sometimes hard to tempt around St Leonards, with larger-sized artificial jigs working best. Clifton Springs produced mixed bags of flathead, whiting, squid and pinkies. The spoil grounds were the best location, although fishing out toward the channel anglers resulted in a bigger pinkies. The mussel beds fished well for whiting, while anglers who tried the shallow water over the sand caught some impressive flathead to over 50cm. Keen anglers wading the shallows and casting plastics should be in prime position to cross paths with these monsters right around now. Gone Fishing Charters found some solid kingfish action off Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads. The team also drifted baits for good numbers of pinkie snapper. Alex Surdich and father Elvio made the most of Labour Day, heading offshore to drift for sharks. It was a smart move, as the guys boated a 45kg mako that gave them a good run for their money. The Barwon River estuary kept anglers busy with silver trevally and whiting down toward the entrance. Anglers also had luck chasing mulloway further up river. Excellent numbers of Australian salmon were caught down the coast on lures cast from the numerous rock platforms between Lorne and Apollo Bay. Fishing on the incoming tide was best, with lures like the Sea Iron Pelacus hooking fish to 2kg. Aire River continued giving up bream to anglers fishing bait and lure, with 2.5inch grub-style plastics cast along the edges catching fish to almost 40cm. Bradley Cox made his way down to Wurdee Boluc Reservoir where he cast Fish Arrow soft plastics from the lake margins among the clearing in the weed beds. He landed well-conditioned redfin between 35cm and 40cm, noting that working lures slowly along the bottom was key. Trelly’s Geelong’s Adam Van Der Lugt fished Lake Purrumbete again for its abundant numbers of redfin on soft plastics. The odd trout also popped up during the week, especially for anglers down-rigging Tassie Devils. Next week’s should present great opportunities for fish offshore for kingfish, tuna and mako sharks, while St Leonard will be hard to pass-up for whiting enthusiasts. Freshwater fishos should focus on the redfin at Wurdee Boluc where a few rainbow trout to 1kg have also been taking lures.
