Pay rises threaten agency jobs, work BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN EMPLOYMENT and services will be cut if government fails to fund recent pay rises in the community sector, Geelong region agencies have warned. Encompass communications officer Silje Eidsnes said trying to cover the rises “would be a problem” for the agency. “We are non-profit and we do have limited funds, so we’re waiting for confirmation from State Government that it will

increase its funding. “If it doesn’t cover the funding it will have an effect on our employment levels and services available.” Ms Eidsnes said Fair Work Australia’s decision to increase community sector pay was “a good thought” that would boost staff morale. “But it all comes down to the decision by the State Government.” Fair Work Australia announced rises of 19 to 41 per cent as

well as a four per cent lift in loadings over the next eight years for more than 150,000 community sector workers. The decision was based on Federal Government and union submissions that the rises would help narrow a pay gap between men and women. Gateways chief executive officer Rosemary Malone said the decision was a “step in the right direction” for staff working under awards. “As our major funding is from

government, we’ll need to see whether government builds this into its cost structure,” she said. “It’s important that we have a skilled and qualified workforce and this would be an investment in the future of the workforce. “We understand from a government point of view that it has competing interests but we need to attract and retain the right people and recognise their contributions. A State Government spokesman said the decision had major

financial and service provision implications for Victoria. “We have already made a financial commitment of $200 million over four years,” the spokesperson said. “However, it is vital the Commonwealth Government guarantees to provide substantial and ongoing financial commitment to meet the heavy costs imposed on state governments and non-government organisations as a result of the Commonwealth’s role in this case.”

THE REGION’S super kids are preparing to compete alongside some of Australia’s best triathletes as part of a three-day Geelong Multi Sport Festival beginning this Friday. The Geelong Independent Superkidz Triathlon will send children aged seven to 13 over safe swim, run and cycle legs with distances tailored to their ages. The Superkidz event begins 9am Saturday, with each competitor to receive an event singlet, a finisher’s medallion, a bag of other goodies and chances to win random draw prizes. Entries are still available at geelongmultisport.com.au or at Eastern Beach from 7.30am to 8.30am Saturday. Torquay Surf Life Saving Club members Olivia, Jaron and Matilda Hobbs, of Highton, will be among the Superkidz competitors. Mum Angela said they were looking forward to competing. “They’re all excited,” she said. “They really want to go out there and have a bit of fun. They like trying anything.” The festival includes a range of other events over achievable distances for competitors of various standards. Competition becomes serious on Sunday, with Australia’s top triathletes competing for prize money of $12,500 in an URBAN 2.80.20 long-course race. Spectators can enjoy a range of on-shore activity and entertainment throughout the event. The Independent’s managing editor, Tony Galpin, said the multi sport festival was a hallmark event for Geelong. “Come on down to Eastern Beach to support this exciting community event.”

First bike to chase hoons along GOR 1019796-RMB06-12

BY ERIN PEARSON SURF Coast police’s first motorcycle will chase down speeding motorists on the Great Ocean Road after a spate of high-speed driving charges, according to a senior officer. Sergeant Kelly Duhig said the new bike would allow police to pursue law-breakers through heavy tourist traffic after a frustrating few months along the Surf Coast. “We caught a woman in her 50s the other week heading into

Lorne doing 130km/h on a motorbike in an 80km/h zone,” he said. “We’re concerned incidents like this will cause more fatalities. “We don’t want to be knocking on doors and telling families their son or daughter, mother or father is dead.” Sgt Duhig said police had even pursued speeding drivers down residential streets in the past month. “We caught a bloke coming

out of Torquay’s Anderson St on a motorbike doing 130km/h down Surf Coast Hwy toward Geelong right in front of the station. “He went through a red light at Grossmans Rd and hit about 150km/h before veering into South Beach Rd at more than 170km/h before police lost sight of the vehicle.” Police caught the unlicensed driver 30 minutes later on The Esplanade, Torquay. Torquay Police Traffic

Management Unit Senior Constable Andrew Gough said he had “lost count” of the fatal motorbike crashes he had attended in 11 years at the station. Police were “fed up” with riders continuing to flout the law, he said. “They’re on our radar and they will be caught.” Sen Const Gough said police would share the motorbike between the Torquay and Colac stations to cover the entire ocean road and surrounding areas.

Review casts cloud over 600 livelihoods

Prevention cash

‘Fears’ for Alcoa jobs BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN AN ALCOA review of its Point Henry smelter’s “future viability” has thrown 600 jobs into doubt. Alcoa of Australia managing director Alan Cransberg said Point Henry was unprofitable. He said “continuing difficult global economic conditions” including metal prices, input costs and exchange rates had driven the review. Existing conditions made the plant unlikely to be “competitive in the foreseeable future”, Mr Cransberg said. “One possible outcome is that production....may be curtailed.

“I know this is unsettling news that creates uncertainty for our employees and the many people that depend on the smelter for their livelihood.” Mr Cransberg said Alcoa hoped to make a decision about the smelter’s future by the end of June when the review was completed. Opened in 1963, Point Henry produces some 190,000 tonnes of aluminium a year. Mr Cransberg said the pending carbon tax had not prompted the review. “The future price on carbon would be an additional cost. However, Point Henry smelter is already losing money.”

Liberal Senator Michael Ronaldson said the review was “further proof” the carbon tax should be dumped. “The first thing this Gillard Labor Government must do to ensure the survival of the Geelong manufacturing industry is to drop the toxic carbon tax,” Senator Ronaldson said. He accused federal Geelong Labor MPs Darren Cheeseman and Richard Marles of “refusing to listen to the people of Geelong”. “The Government must axe this tax immediately,” Mr Ronaldson said. Mr Marles said the top priority should be the interests of Alcoa employees.

“We should not jump to conclusions because Alcoa has made it clear there’s no decision about the future of Point Henry. “The attempt by the opposition to play politics with this issue is a disgrace.” Australian Workers Union Victorian Secretary Cesar Melhem said employees felt betrayed. “Our members worked tirelessly with local management ensure the place remained efficient and costeffective. Mr Melhem called for government financial assistance similar to car industry support.

STATE GOVERNMENT has committed over $750,000 to a program aimed at preventing suicide among “same-sex attracted and gender questioning” youths, a council meeting has heard. The Government will provide $215,000 a year over three and a half years for the Geelong Adolescent Sexuality Program.

Climate survey A SURVEY is asking Barwon Heads and Portarlington residents how they “value” their public caravan parks, according to a board helping manage the Victorian coastline. Western Coastal Board said the survey was the “second wave” of a study to help “respond to the potential effects of climate change”.

Nurses overseas TWO EXPERIENCED Geelong nurses have been appointed to health development programs in underdeveloped communities north of Australia, according to their employer. St John of God Hospital said Liz Elsworthy and Jenny Tait-Robertson had “key roles” working on achieving “sustainable health improvements” in East Timor and Papua New Guinea.

Belmont boost A $200,000 Baillieu Government funding injection will build a new pavilion at South Barwon Football Netball Club’s McDonald Reserve in Belmont, according to MP Andrew Katos. The Member for South Barwon said the funding was a 2010 election campaign pledge to encourage participation in sport while helping the club build its membership.

Relay call ORGANISERS have called for entries in “the biggest fundraising event Geelong has ever seen” to raise money for Cancer Council Victoria. They said the annual Relay for Life would be a chance to “bring the community together” to celebrate cancer victims and survivors from March 17 to 18 at Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds Campus.

Road improvements VICROADS has encouraged motorists to “seek alternative routes” during repairs works on a deteriorating stretch of Geelong-Portarlington Rd. Vicroads said work would begin on Geelongbound lanes outside peak traffic periods from Sunday until late this month “weather permitting”.

Disabled conference HUNDREDS of people with disabilities, their carers and agency representatives have gathered in Geelong for an annual conference, according to organisers. They said the Having a Say conference began on Wednesday and finishes this Friday at Deakin University’s Waterfront Campus with “lots of amazing performances and presentations” in a “real eye opener” for Geelong.

Inverleigh burn

Golf days’ drive to help McKellar Centre patients hand co-ordination and function to overcome disabilities “as severe as being unable to pick up a cup or knife”, she said. The McKellar Centre lack of a kit meant patients had to wait for deliveries of similar equipment when not in use at health care facilities New South Wales. “Patients may have to wait up to six or eight weeks before being assessed on the system.” The equipment can also help rehabilitate stroke victims.

Independent managing editor Tony Galpin called for entries to help reach the fundraising target. “This year’s golf day is especially important to the McKellar Centre and its patients,” Mr Galpin said. “I urge keen golfers and anyone concerned about achieving the best possible treatment for local road accident victims to enter now for the golf day. It will be another great event for a worthy cause.” The golf day will feature an Ambrose competition beginning with

a shotgun start at 8am on March 30 at 13th Beach golf course. Players will enjoy 18 holes of competition before a luncheon and charity auction in the 13th Beach clubhouse. Opportunities for local businesses to be involved with the event through various sponsorships are available. Mr Galpin said teams of four and prospective sponsors should contact the centre’s Kerry O’Sullivan by phoning 5279 2222 or emailing kerryo@barwonhealth.org.au.

Children’s funding GEELONG’S council will consider funding Children’s Week activities again this year after the success of the week’s celebrations in 2011, according to councillor Kylie Fisher. Cr Fisher said council would consider contributing $50,000 in 2012 after providing $3600 in grants last year “on top of allocated funding of key events provided through council services”.

Avalon’s Tiger hopes ‘fading’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN HOPES OF budget carrier Tiger Airways Australia resuming its Avalon base are fading, according to airport chief Justin Giddings Mr Giddings conceded Brisbane was increasingly looking like the airline’s second aircraft and crew base. “A Brisbane base wouldn’t be unexpected, but we haven’t really heard of any decision yet,” he said.

“We’ve been trying to set up a meeting with Tiger but haven’t had any response, so it’s pretty obvious they’ll set up somewhere else. “I’m still confident that Tiger will fly in and fly out of Avalon because they don’t need to base aircraft here.” Tiger last week announced 155,000 extra seats as it ramped up capacity following its ground-

Industrial area in funding bid BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG’S ring road employment precinct is one of the region’s three priority projects for a second round of regional development funding. Regional Development Australia’s Barwon South West committee has also nominated two projects in Warrnambool and Glenelg shire areas. Committee co-deputy chair Peter Dorling said each project would prepare a detailed plan prior to submission in Canberra. Geelong received $20 million in regional development funding last year for library and heritage centre and Simmonds Stadium projects. Round two of the funding has $200 million available for projects with a “strong regional impact”. The committee advises governments on the region’s funding priorities, covering Geelong and south-west Victoria. The employment precinct project wants $3.6 million toward its total cost of $10.7 million to pay for infrastructure works. The 500-hectare industrial park is on Heales Rd, Corio.

ing last year amid safety concerns. Mr Giddings said Tiger still had three of its 10 planes on the ground and would focus on returning them to service. Civil Aviation Safety Authority now allows Tiger 32 flights a day. “Then Tiger will come and talk to us,” Mr Giddings said. Brisbane and Darwin were touted as possible Tiger bases after the airline announced it had pur-

chased a 33 per cent stake in a grounded Indonesian carrier Mandala Airlines. A Tiger spokesperson said she expected Mandala to fly again in April. Tiger had achieved operational improvements since services resumed, the spokesperson said. “This will mean additional frequencies on existing routes, the introduction of new routes and the

establishment of a second Australian base.” The airline also announced a new daily daytime service between Melbourne and Cairns from April 25. The service would provide 2500 additional visitor seats a week through Cairns Airport. The extra 155,000 seats will also be available from April to meet seasonal demand on the pop-

ular Melbourne to Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and Gold Coast routes. “Both Australia’s east and west coasts will benefit from the additional capacity it creates,” the Tiger spokesperson said. Travel website Wotif.com.au released a survey this week ranking Brisbane as Australia’s third most favourite airport behind Melbourne and Sydney.

BY MICHELLE HERBISON ST LEONARDS residents will push for more police in the region following a clandestine drug lab bust this week, according to a community representative. St Leonards Progress Association secretary Paul Sproule said he already planned to beg Police Minister Peter Ryan for more resources before the discovery of the $15 million drug lab on Manifold Rd. “We will get on the bandwagon and try to help get some more policemen,” Mr Sproule said. “The drug lab makes it something a bit more substantial now because it’s alarming for people. If there were more police available in the region we’d see more of a presence in St Leonards.” Mr Sproule said recent Neighbourhood Watch figures revealed an “alarming” increase in burglaries around the area. Labor Member for Western Victoria Gayle Tierney urged the Police Minister in parliament this week to put more police in the region. The shortage was “constantly” threatening temporary closures of stations at Ocean Grove, Drysdale, Portarlington, Queenscliff and Lara, she said. Mr Ryan said Geelong would have a share in 850 additional police across Victoria by June 30. He said he had “relayed (concerns about) Geelong police resources to the Chief Commissioner.”.

Federal Government provided $3.1 million to the project. Announcing the completion of works, the City said great care had been taken to stick closely to the original design and maintain the pool’s “historic and distinctive appearance”. “This has been a time consuming but very worthwhile consideration. “The renovation had been a large and complex project made more complex by the fact that the work had to be carried out in a challenging beach-side environment, and included periods when severe weather events had caused some unavoidable delays.” The Downer EDI action follows the Independent revealing in January two personal injury writs against the City. Drumcondra’s Dawn McKinnon is taking legal action against the City and Geelong Performing Arts Centre for leg injuries allegedly suffered when she slipped on wet pavement in October 2008. Taylors Lakes’ Joseph Di Benedetto is suing the City for negligence, claiming to have suffered eye injuries when a child came down the Leisurelink waterslide and kicked him.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A THIRD legal writ threatens to drag City of Greater Geelong into court. Contractor Downer EDI and City of Greater Geelong confirmed the latest court action to the Independent. The City contracted Downer EDI to build a seawall as part of an Eastern Beach redevelopment project. A Downer EDI spokesperson said the company was unable to comment because the matter was before the courts. City chief executive officer Stephen Griffin said council was “in discussion with its legal advisers with a view to contesting the claim”. The City refused to comment publicly on the details of the writ, he said. The $6 million Eastern Beach redevelopment included a new children’s pool shell, replacement of seawalls and a dive tower and stabilisation of an embankment. Works finished in late 2011 but the seawall contract was completed almost a year ago, according to a sub-contractor who worked on the project.

High hopes for a vintage harvest the region’s climate. “The past few years we’ve been picking in early March. Fifteen years ago we were picking in early April. “It’s up to three weeks earlier than it used to be.” Geelong Winegrowers Association viticultural executive Hugh Hull said yields would be up to three tonnes larger than last year due to less disease. “Feedback indicates tonnages to be consistent with the longterm average of about six to seven tonnes per hectare.” Mr Hull said some growers reported diseases downy mildew and botrytis in November.

“This has reduced significantly since the warm dry summer weather.” Wyuna Park Vineyard and Garden’s Bill Sawyer said downy mildew had been a problem this season. “This year and the previous year have both been very difficult because of humid weather in spring. The viticulturalists had to put a lot of effort into dealing with the risk of downy mildew.” Mr Sawyer thought this year was as bad as 2011. “We’ve had adequate rain so yield has been maintained. It’s a bit hard to say but the amounts won’t be too bad.”

A home away from home Dependable Care which is owned, operated and managed by Joanne Tomada is opening. A new supported residential services for Geelong/Belmont and surrounding areas and will be providing a range of Supportive Care options- from Independent Living, to aged care and accommodation for younger adults. Dependable care looks after over 250 residents residing in our facilities through out Melbourne, whether short or long term care or Respite stays, in emergency situations we are there to help.

Concern over training ‘fall’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A FALL in apprenticeships has concerned Geelong industry bodies and employers. The drop prompted a State Government investigation into the apprenticeship system. Barry Allen, a director of Geelong recruitment firm Gforce, said apprenticeships were in a “bit of a lull” after surge immediately following the global financial crisis. Gordon Institute of TAFE reported a 7.6 per cent decrease in apprenticeship enrolments. Housing Industry Association also said apprenticeship numbers had declined. The Skills Victoria investigation said building and construction trades had recovered strongly but other industries had achieved negligible apprenticeship growth. The investigation said the apprenticeship system faced “a

Dependable Care is the largest single private company of the most SRS in Victoria and all facilities are registered with the Department of Health. With more than 27 years experience in the industry, Joanne and her team of staff with many years experience in delivering good quality care to their residents. Along with Joanne Care Co-ordinator Pret will be the Co-ordinator at the newly opened SRS Geelong lodge. Other facilities under the Dependable care banner are Greenridge in Templestowe, Reservoir Lodge in Reservoir, Alphington Lodge in Alphington and Bamfield in Heidelberg. The latter to be a newly opened facility for younger residents. Joanne has many titles - owner, operator, manager and care co-ordinator - and a passion for each role. But it is her pride that shines through when asked what sets her SRS homes apart from the rest. Geelong Lodge in Belmont Geelong is a very modern, bright, Spacous facility. It is a light, warm and cosy home and has a very friendly, family orientated atmosphere,” she said. “We pride ourselves on the high level of personal service. We are a home away from home.” Once we have filled Geelong lodge with residents we will be offering and organising activities and regular bus outings. The facility prepares variety of nutritious meals, all fresh and cooked on the premises, and caters for special diets. Geelong Lodge has private, single, double rooms and ensuite rooms and varied price range.

range of challenges”. Mr Allen said declining government contracts and a “wait-andsee” attitude toward the economy among employers was affecting the “flat employment market”. “Employers who put on apprentices are waiting for them to get through their four years of training. “Armstrong Creek is going to be great but not it’s up and running yet, so we’re in a bit of a lull.” Mr Allen said low completion rates for apprentices, down to 50 per cent, was also a concern for industry. “The first 18 months of an apprenticeship is pretty tough. It’s a low wage and basic work. “They might come back to it later but, statistically, it goes down as a cancellation.” HIA Victorian director Gil King said the apprenticeships decline was due to social factors as well as problems with the system.

“Apprenticeships face an identity crisis in some of our building trades because there’s no clear pathway to a profession or career,” Mr King said. “Skilled people who have a tertiary qualification are not given due recognition. “There is no registration that states an apprentice is now a qualified carpenter, for instance.” Gordon chief Grant Sutherland said the institute had an average 4100 apprentices enrolled in 2011. The “small” enrolments decrease of 7.6 per cent followed an increase of 45 per cent the previous year. Skills Victoria will run a public consultation workshop to seek feedback on reforms to the apprenticeship system. The workshop will be from12pm to 4pm on February 20 at Geelong Conference Centre Auditorium in Eastern Park.

Mayor seeks seat on funding body

Families can be reassured that their loved ones are being well cared for. “We can assist with accommodation after a sickness, hospital stay or just to have a holiday while the family is away.”

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG’S council is trying to secure a seat on a committee advising governments on the region’s funding priorities, according to Mayor John Mitchell. Cr Mitchell said he would nominate for the Regional Development Australia (RDA) committee covering Geelong and south-west Victoria after a call for expressions of interest this week. “As I understand it, all posi-

There is no assessment or paperwork required to stay. “With a bit of TLC, three meals a day, good company and some activities, the residents thoroughly enjoy the time they spend with us,” It’s important to be able to spend quality time with your loved one and have the peace of mind that you know they are being cared and supported.

tions are up for grabs and I’ll be putting in an application. “I believe the city should be represented, even though I’ll be nominating as an individual. “I’ll be representing the region, not just the council. You have to put your parochialism to one side and represent the whole of the region. “It goes all the way to Portland, so it’s a big region.” Council unsuccessfully bid for a seat last year when a vacancy opened.

RDA executive officer Peter Anderson said existing terms expired at end of June, with all positions spilled. “Current members have been encouraged to reapply and some of them will,” Mr Anderson said. “Some won’t reapply, so there’ll be new people on the committee. “The decision of who is offered a position is a joint Spring St and Canberra process. It will be competitive and hotly contested.”

Cops seek advice on smash charges BY ERIN PEARSON POLICE are seeking legal advice on potential new charges over the road accident death of Lara woman Casey Hardiman, a senior officer has revealed. Torquay Police Sergeant Kelly Duhig said the legal advice would determine the “most suitable” charges. The incident could also spark an inquest, he said.

Ms Hardiman, 25, died in December when she swerved her vehicle to avoid plastic plant pots that had fallen off a trailer behind a ute. Her yellow Hyundai crossed Surf Coast Hwy near Mt Duneed before colliding head-on with a vehicle carrying two women aged in their 50s and 60s. Ms Hardiman died at the scene. Both the older women were airlifted to hospital with

serious injuries. Police later released a video of a ute filmed near the accident, calling for the driver to come forward. A Torquay man presented himself to police in January. Police initially expected to charge the 41-year-old with failing to secure a load but Sgt Duhig said he could now face other charges. “At this stage we’re waiting to hear back on whether or not

more or different charges could be laid,” Sgt Duhig said. “We understand this has taken some time since the incident but we expect a decision within the next month or so.” Sgt Duhig said police seeking legal advice about additional charges was “rare”. “We need to make sure whatever charges are laid are the correct charges,” he said.

Call for bus route change as oldies left housebound es along that road are vacant.” Ms Novosel said she ran a survey finding that 96 per cent of residents backed the route change. She was worried council plans for a footpath on The Esplanade could stop buses turning into Pigdon St. But a council spokesman said engineers believed the footpath would allow sufficient turning space “with only minor modifications to the street”. McHarry’s Buslines’ Ben Sangster said the proposed diversion would be “a minor change”. But roads and infrastructure must be suitable for buses before the route change, he said. “Diverting a bus isn’t an easy process. For the community’s sake, there are lots of players involved.” Mr Sangster said feasibility studies into a diversion were underway. “Indented Head is growing and it’s important we continue to service the needs of the growing community.”

BY MICHELLE HERBISON ELDERLY Indented Head residents are remaining housebound rather than attempting walks of up to two kilometres to reach bus stops, according to a community group. Indented Head Community Association secretary Ingrid Novosel said the group was fighting to have the route diverted. Ms Novosel said elderly residents and families without cars had to walk long distances to The Esplanade to catch McHarry’s bus. The community association wanted the route to turn onto Batman Rd, Henderson St and unsealed Pigdon St, she said. The proposed route change would service residents in new and planned residential estates. “All the development happening in Indented Head is going further west.

Local cyclists, drivers urged to ‘discuss their concerns’ with each other

Users, abusers targeted CYCLISTS and motorists across the region will be able to “discuss their concerns” with each other as part of a new road safety campaign, State Government has announced. Roads Minister Terry Mulder said the “first of its kind” campaign would use a Facebook page as a form for riders and drivers to “come together”. The Road User or Abuser campaign addressed key issues including limited knowledge of cycling road rules among both rider and drivers and cyclists breaking regulation “when they think it’s safe to do so”. “We know that many bike riders feel

that drivers resent their presence on the roads and many drivers are unaware of the challenges faced by bike riders or even realise they are there,” Mr Mulder said. “Eighty-eight per cent of drivers and bike riders agree there needs to be greater mutual respect between road users. Eighty-three per cent agree that behaviour on the road is too aggressive and rude compared to our behaviour in other aspects of our lives.” Mr Mulder said the attitudes and behaviour of riders and drivers toward each other was “at times negative”. “While 87 per cent of bike riders and

drivers believe bike riders are more vulnerable than drivers on the roads, only 52 per cent believe that drivers actually look out for bike riders.” Mr Mulder said dangerous driver behaviour included opening car doors without checking for approaching riders, driving across the path of oncoming cyclists and hitting bikes from behind or

the side. Bike riders also needed to “do their bit”. “Even though the majority of bike riders know the road rules, according to the research there is a minority that continues to flout the law,” Mr Mulder said. “While most bike riders ride to minimise risk, some seek risk taking as acceptable and may be prepared to break road rules if they think it is safe and they will get to their destinations faster.” Mr Mulder said the campaign would feature an online discussion on VicRoads’ Road User or Abuser page on Facebook.

OBESITY rates in Australia have surged 25 per cent since 2000, according to Geelong research. Deakin University has used figures from a Geelong osteoporosis study of more than 2500 participants to find obesity increasing whether using body mass index (BMI) or waistline measurements. Deakin said Associate Professor Julie Pasco and her team examined figures from 1467 men and 1076 women aged 20 to 96 in the osteoporosis study. “The study is significant because the number of people participating in it and the results from it can be seen to be representative of the nation as a whole,” Deakin said. The study found that 45.1 per cent of men and 30.2 per cent of women were overweight when the study figures were judged against

BMI measures of weight corrected for height. A further 2.2 per cent of men and 28.6 per cent of women were obese. Deakin said the study used the waistline measurement to find that 27.5 per cent of men and 23.3 per cent of women were overweight. The waistline method also had 29.3 per cent of men and 44.1 per cent of women as obese. Prof Pasco said the findings were of “grave concern”. “It is alarming that regardless of the measuring method used 60 per cent of the population exceeds recommended thresholds for health body composition,” she said. “It is alarming that obesity rates have increased by one quarter since the turn of the century. “This is of grave concern because obesity is associated with

increased risk of developing high blood pressure, type two diabetes, heart disease, stroke, osteoarthritis and some cancers.” Prof Pasco said the study also demonstrated that BMI overestimated body fat in men compared to women. “This is because excess weight can be largely due to muscular body builds and heavier bones in men. “We also found a greater prevalence of obesity in women than men.” Prof Pasco said BMI could also be unreliable for indicating actual body fat in children. She urged parents and health professionals to factor in gender, age and ethnicity when testing for obesity.

Flight of fancy

Corner Wicker Lounge was $2799 now $1699

FLIGHT is no longer the wonder it was when the Wright brothers were pioneering the skies. The hassle of booking, parking, checking in, excess baggage fees and delays have stolen much of the romance of flight. But a group of people who experience flight almost as effortlessly unencumbered as a bird still feel the love. The members call themselves the Dynasoarers as the hang gliding and paragliding club for Geelong and Surf Coast. The active group of more than 30 pilots also helps maintain local hang gliding sites in the region. Publicity officer Jan Bennewitz said the group was always happy to help a pilot seeking information and guidance or even a colleague to fly with. “If the conditions are right for the coast run it’s possible to fly from the Winkipop launch at Bells Beach all the way to Apollo Bay,” Jan said. “It has its own thrill and because you can go places nobody

Join the club JOHN VAN KLAVEREN else can, the view is brilliant. “It’s nothing like ordinary flying, with the confines of airports and the narrow aluminium tube of a passenger jet. “It’s more about skimming metres above a hilltop with the birds or soaring high over beaches packed with sunbathers. “The challenge is to fly for hours using only your skill and the invisible lift the air can provide.” Jan said pilots did not have to be “staggeringly fit”, just in generally good shape. “But you do have to have a sense of adventure.” The club accommodates microlight trikes, hang gliders and paragliders.

Each was “as safe as the person in control”, Jan said. “It’s almost unheard of for design and structural failures to cause accidents.” Jan said microlight trikes were the most expensive to buy and run, with hang gliders and paragliders costing almost nothing to fly. Paragliders were also the easiest to learn and lightest, making them ideal for newcomers to the sport, he said. Weather played a large part in the sport, Jan advised. Keeping a “weather eye” out had become a constant pastime for members, he said. The Dynasoarers met on the first Friday or Saturday night of each month for a social dinner and a few drinks. “It is a good opportunity for pilots and their partners to meet and swap a few stories and share experiences,” Jan said. Jan said the club could be contacted by emailing dynasoarers@gmail.com or phoning 0423 139 923.

Victorian Housing Minister Wendy Lovell said the list had fallen 11.4 per cent since the election of the Baillieu Government. “On becoming Housing Minister I instigated better management of the

waiting list and ordered an audit of vacant properties, which returned 1000 homes to the system for people in need.” Ms Lovell said a Commonwealth Nation Building initiative planned 68 public homes for City of Greater Geelong, while a Victorian $80 million “New Norlane” project would add a further 160. “It is one of the largest public and private projects ever undertaken in Victoria. This will ease the pressure on local people looking for affordable housing.”

I HAVE received a letter from RACV explaining I will now have insurance cover for flooding. As my renewal is not until July, I have not as yet questioned RACV on the likelihood of a rise in my premiums (Independent, February 10) because I have always been happy with its service. However, it might well be I will have to shop around if RACV’s underwriters maintain the stance reported in the Independent. It is apparent from former tragedies with both fire and flooding that governments and councils should be listening to the elders in their communities who know of natural watercourses and their propensity for flooding. They should be also consulted on aspects of bushfires. Could the flooding of Horsham be a prime example of locals knowing and new residents and councillors being unaware of past watercourses? In the past parts of the Armstrong Creek area was a flood plain. It would be interesting to know what they are listing as now and how insurance prices will affect that areas. Sandra Camm Highton

Meters unlawful DEAN Duthie’s letter about smart meters in last week’s Independent was correct that our rights in Australia are being eroded. Powercor has government authorisation to install smart meters but it does not have the force of the law – see National Electricity (Victorian) Act 2005, page 15, section 16B. Government cannot legislate for private companies. We have checked with a local politician and he reluctantly confirmed this fact. Our state utilities have been sold and are now owned by foreign companies. We have locked our meter box T Grant North Geelong

I WOULD like provide balance to a story in the January 20 Independent because the heading and first four paragraphs were somewhat misleading and alarmist. The story stated that applications to study at The Gordon had fallen 27 per cent. This number is inaccurate when total enrolments are considered. The following information, which was provided but not included, would have put the numbers in context to improve the story’s balance: • The story referred to VTAC applications only. Annual Gordon enrolments are around 19,000. If this information was used readers would have seen that VTAC enrolments represent approximately 10 per cent of total enrolments. • For some reason 2010, not 2011, was compared to 2012. If 2011 was used then the reduction is nine per cent, not 27, per cent, noting this is for VTAC only. The 2012 VTAC numbers do not yet include the new concurrent degree with Deakin, so the decrease is two per cent, which led to my response there was a “small” decrease. • Numbers were provided showing domestic VTAC first preferences for The Gordon were up 15 per cent compared to the previous year. The response provided by The Gordon did acknowledge that deregulation of the sector will have an impact. Today’s student has more choice than ever and staff at The Gordon are working hard to ensure we are seen as an outstanding study proposition. Grant Sutherland The Gordon chief executive officer

School substandard AS ANOTHER year commences in Potarlington I would like to comment on our primary school, which is ancient and substandard. I feel sorry for the 150 young pupils and teachers in the mildew-covered classrooms. This neglectful situation sends a bad message to all government schools, parents and students and contrasts dramatically with State Government’s recent land tax exemption for private schools. Portarlington’s community must support the staff and students in seeking a total upgrade of our school. I would like to hear what our community groups think about this issue, particularly Portarlington Community Association, and what they intend to do to help our young citizens with their education. John Bugge Portarlington

Plan now for fire THE ASSOCIATION representing local CFA volunteers, Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria (VFBV), is urging every Victorian to think like a volunteer this summer. CFA volunteers are trained, ready, always work to a plan and want every Victorian family to have its own fire plan. A fire plan is a simple list of actions to take and decisions made that mean your property is ready and everyone in your family knows exactly what to do. That is important because experience shows that one of the great dangers to members of the public on a day of serious bushfire threat is simply not knowing what to do. If your plan is to leave a high risk area, you need to choose the trigger signal that says it’s time to leave, have your travel bag packed and know where you are going. For a simple questionnaire that helps you make your own fire plan, visit the CFA website at www.cfa.vic.gov.au or phone Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667. On behalf of your local CFA volunteers, we urge you to think like a volunteer, be prepared and have a safer remainder of the summer. Robert Clark VFBV District 7 president

Control over spin EMPHASIS placed on the alleged negativity of the opposition in Federal Government, as personified in the Honorable Tony Abbott as leader, would appear a classic example of the political strategy of spin in today’s politics. In The Concise Oxford Dictionary’s definition of the word control, the emphasis is placed in much detail on the functions: have control or command of, dominate; exert control over, regulate; hold in check, restraint; serve as control to. The executive function of control is invested in the government of the day and amounts to negation of ideas that members of the electorate wish to proffer. The logic of inputting negativity of action to all ideas not sponsored by the government is mind blowing and might be an oxymoron in that it must be the opposition’s role. In the field of medicine overriding power without accountability is vested in the registration statutory body, Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency. Marion Jones Drysdale

Life of rapper completes 360 Heart-throb thunders Downunder BY MICHELLE HERBISON HEART-THROB is a label that Celtic Thunder vocalist Ryan Kelly has yet to fully accept. After leaving behind a promising accounting career, the Northern Irish singer is still pinching himself at the group’s rising fame. “Every day I think ‘What am I doing here and how am I still bluffing my way through it’,” Kelly joked. “I was just a part-time singer working as an accountant and went for the auditions. Within a year we were singing at the White

House for the President of the United States.” Kelly said he was amazed to discover that Obama’s girls were Celtic Thunder fans. “Michelle and their daughters came into the room and they were like ‘Oh my god, it’s Celtic Thunder’,” he laughed. The five-piece boy-band is enjoying multi-platinum success from its unique style. “It’s basically a mixture of Irish and Scottish music and we also do contemporary covers you don’t expect to hear in a Celtic music show, like The Eagles’ Desperado,” Kelly said.

Celtic Thunder will storm into Australia for the first time after debuting at number one on the ARIA charts with the band’s second DVD, It’s Entertainment. On top of accounting, Kelly also has a background in sport, having played football and basketball at national level before joining the band. “I’d love to go for a run in Geelong, it’s a good way of seeing some of the place,” he said. “And I’m sure there’ll be a few Irish bars around Geelong that will take us in.” Celtic Thunder plays Geelong Arena on Tuesday.

Clean: 360 has given up the booze. I stopped drinking and realised I was having withdrawals and I woke up to the fact that I had to stop. “I’ve completely stopped par-

tying and everything is strictly business now.” Colwell, whose latest hit single, Boys Like Me, pokes fun at his former lifestyle and the heartbreak of infidelity, attributed his rejuvenated philosophy on life to his new girlfriend. He called her the “love of my life”. “I hate being away from her. If I didn’t have her there with me I would’ve got through it. “The last girl I was with was the one who cheated on me with my best mates and it sent me on a rampage of being single and getting with as many girls as possible. “It took me years to get over it.” The Boys Like Me video features Colwell, Gossling and Ruby Rose playing out the tragic love triangle that inspired the song. The single, along with Throw it Away and Killer, earned places in Triple J’s coveted Hottest 100 list on Australia Day this year. 360 will play Geelong’s The Bended Elbow on March 8.

Obama favourites: Celtic Thunder plays Geelong next week.

BY ERIN PEARSON AUSSIE rapper 360 will use his latest tour to spread awareness of drugs and alcohol addiction as he winds his way down to Geelong. The self-proclaimed former bad boy and womaniser, whose actual name is Matthew Colwell, said 2011 was a “year of change” for him. He now wanted others to come clean after giving up alcohol. Colwell said he had newfound “confidence and love” as well as surging creativity after his detox. He noted alcohol’s widespread social acceptance but feared booze was “worse than any drug”. “I always grew up thinking alcohol wasn’t that bad,” Colwell revealed. “When I was drinking five nights a week heavily I figured that if I was doing that with any other drug I would be looked as a junkie. “I decided to stop midway though my last tour in the middle of the Perth leg after I got really sick. “I wanted to save my voice, so

Pub renovations mean Hatt fits for top bands THE BLACK Hatt Hotel is bringing a new lease of life to live entertainment in the region. With a swag of live acts primed for Friday nights, the hotel is also undergoing state-of-the-art renovations including a recently-reopened beer garden. And plenty more to amuse patrons is available at The Black Hatt, with a kicking mechanical bull, a jukebox and a pool table. The hotel’s Kylee Clasper said the next headline act to hit the Black Hatt is The Giants, including former Australian Crawl guitarist Mark Greig, on February 18.

One of Australia’s most respected blues/rock outfits, The Giants has been recording and touring since 1990. Lead vocalist Stuart Wood has travelled the world playing to packed houses in Europe, United States, Australia and New Zealand. His awesome stage presence, powerhouse vocals and wailing harmonica brings crowds to their feet wherever he performs. Lead guitarist Greig has played with Renee Geyer, Russell Morris and Broderick Smith. He is also widely accepted as one of Australia’s finest guitarists.

or a fortnight this February Red Cross is encouraging everyone to think about the legacy they will leave in their wills for future generations. National bequest manager Ian Williamson says many Australians have turned to Red Cross for support over the past few years. “With the numerous floods, cyclones, bushfires and earthquakes that have ravaged our region, few can forget the images of many every day Australians turning to our emergency refugee

centres, having lost everything,” Mr Williamson says. “But what many people don’t see is the increase of people turning to everyday Red Cross programs such as a daily phone call service to many isolated and eldery Australians to check on their wellbeing and safety or food programs that ensure vulnerable children can improve their health, stay in school and break the cycle of disadvantage. “In the years to come many people will turn to Red Cross for help in times of crisis and we’re

determined to be there when they do, which is why we’re asking for community support via a gift in their will.” Red Cross Wills for Life Fortnight until February 17 offers access to a network of solictors who can help make wills at a cost of only $75 each. More information about leaving a gift to Red Cross is available by phoning its bequest team on 1800 811 700, emailing bequests@redcross.org.au or visiting www.redcross.org.au.

Pre-paid funerals ease families’ burden ore Australians are now deciding to prearrange their funerals, easing the emotional and financial burden otherwise left to remaining family. Pre-planning a funeral has become an important step in retirement planning and the right information can save a lot of money but, with so many options available, it can be difficult to find the best solution for individual needs. One option is to purchase a pre-paid funeral. Prepaying locks in funeral costs at today’s prices without ongoing or future costs. Depending on the buyer’s financial position, prepaying can include added financial and pension benefits as well. A funeral bond is another option suitable for particular requirements. Speaking with a funeral director about the main features of particular bonds is the best way to work how they can work to the buyer’s best advantage. More recently and due to increased advertising, funeral insurance is becoming another sought-after option. Premiums usually commence at affordable rates but can increase dramatically over time due to CPI increases and the age of the insured.

Middle age, then start planning BY GREG CRAWFORD, M.A.P FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS eople aged between 40 and 54 need to start seriously thinking about what their retirement might look like. This age group will not qualify for the Centrelink age pension until age 67. On average they will probably live beyond 90. Even if you do not retire until age 67 that’s a lot

of years to fund the quality of life most people desire. Living longer than your money lasts is a frightening prospect, yet many Australians have insufficient super to fully fund their retirement. Therefore, it is vital to employ strategies that can boost your finances. And there are many. Phone M.A.P Financial Solutions on 5229 0200 for more information.

Hearing clinic hit with clients ORGANISE A HEARING TEST DON’T MISS OUT ON THE GOOD THINGS ABOUT GETTING OLDER JUST TO AVOID HAVING TO CONSIDER HEARING AIDS.

fter eight months of operation, Waurn Ponds Hearing Clinic is settling into its role of providing a friendly, locally-owned independent hearing clinic for the area.

Hot hatch BY ERIC BLAIR he Honda Civic hatchback is a striking looking car even in its standard format, modified to sporting Type-R specifications it looks like something from a science fiction movie. Just grab a look at that severely sloping front with headlights that seem to stretch all the way across the car, at the F1 type front spoiler treatment, the huge 18-inch wheels with low profile tyres making for a squat stance, the big slope to the windscreen, the choppedoff tail – the list of standout Type-R features just goes on and on. Surprisingly, the Civic Type-R is built in England, which may seem somewhat odd at first, but the Europeans are far more into the hothatch scene than anyone else, so the long established Honda factory in the UK is a logical place to manufacture the latest in a long line of full-on performance machines from the Japanese giant. So keen was Honda Australia to convince us that the English guys who are building this Honda can produce a quality product that, when it was first launched here, they brought a couple of the manufacturing chiefs across to Australia to talk about their factory. It certainly looks impressive and the new

Type-R seems to be as well built as anything from a Honda factory in Japan or Thailand. Civic Type R comes with a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that just loves to rev to the heavens. Maximum power is 148 kW, 200 horsepower, and most of the mumbo is right at the top end of the tacho. The engine doesn’t get into its full-onpower mode until it’s all the way up to 5600 rpm. It then gives a huge push in the back all the way to the big 8000 rpm redline. Peak torque is an impressive 193 Nm, thus almost reaching the magic 100 Nm per litre mark. But, again, you have to be punting the car along at big revs, top torque comes in at sky high 5600 revs. You really need 3000 rpm for the engine to come on song, indeed, 4000 is really the bottom end of the excitement territory. Those who like a thoroughbred performance engine will just love this Honda powerplant, those who want a docile cruiser and don’t like to work at getting the best from their car should probably look elsewhere. And we don’t have a problem with that, these are after all sports cars, not pretty toys. To page 48

fter being abandoned due to heavy rain in 2010 and 2011, the Torquay Rotary Club’s annual motor show looks set to go ahead this Sunday. The club held the first show in 2007 on the Melbourne Cup holiday weekend. The event later moved to a weekend in January but heavy rain, forced the cancellation of the event in two consecutive years. This year the club is expecting up to 300 vehicles for the 26 classes covering almost every era of motoring. Entries are invited for vehicles from pre-1918 to best club team display. Among the car marque sections include best MG, best Jaguar, Ford, Holden, best Japanese, European and American as well as club teams (more than 10 vehicles) and commercial vehicles. Five categories for motorcycles from pre-1975 to examples of American and British bikes will ensure bike enthusiasts will see some of the best veteran and modern machines. A special feature will be pre 1970 bicycles including early 20th century models. The commercial categories cater for vehicles before and after 1960. Vans and trucks are fast becoming popular restoration projects with certain finished vehicles considered more valuable than cars. This year will see the introduction of a perpetual trophy for the outright winner of the show. Judges will score vehicles, depending on category, bodywork, interior, boot, wheels and tyres, engine and engine bay, originality accessories and overall presentation. The motor show will be held on the

The use of a six-speed gearbox and big wheels has pushed the turning circle out to big 12.2 metres, so parking can be surprisingly difficult for such a small car. Some drivers may find there’s some confusion to the eyes while driving due to the way the rear wing intrudes on the view from the back window, but with familiarity this problem will be minimised. Unless you are of a shy and retiring nature, that is, because this hot Honda just screams out to be noticed and you wouldn’t like the attention. Interior space is aimed more at the two front occupants than at those who want to carry people in the back seat. However, access to the rear seats through the front doors is reasonably good and there’s sufficient space in the rear for kids below their teenage years. Boot space is reasonable and access through the large rear hatch is impressive. Honda’s Civic Type R is a benchmark machine. Aimed at the likes of the Subaru WRX and Mazda3 MPS, it’s a perfect machine for those who enjoy their driving, yet who don’t have a huge budget, and who also care enough about the planet to go for an engine that doesn’t consume crazy amounts of fuel.

From page 46 imilarly, the suspension provides a reasonably firm ride in a typically sporting manner, but only those who value their comfort above all else will find it unacceptable. Pushed hard the fuel consumption will be high, but the really impressive thing about this engine is that it can be economical in daily driving. We found figures of under seven litres per hundred kilometres could be obtained without any particularly economy-driving techniques. That’s on easy paced trips, but even around town you’re not likely to see fuel consumption much over 10 litres per hundred kilometres unless you really hustle the car along. Petrol should be of 95 octane or higher in this specialised engine. Handling is exciting and dynamic. There’s plenty of road grip, the hot Civic provides great feedback through the steering wheel and this Honda hatch has the ability to bring a smile to the face any time you want to push it along hard and fast. Road noise is intrusive at times, especially on coarse-chip roads, not unexpected in a car of this nature with sports suspension and performance tyres.

Keleman offers expert servicing for Mazdas

336 Portarlington Rd, Moolap

Ph: 5222 2555 43 Autumn St, Geelong West www.europeautomotive.com.au

Keleman Motors in Crown Street specialise in all types of servicing and repairs to Mazdas.

ary Keleman has an extensive knowledge of all types of servicing and repairs to Mazdas, including engine rebuilds, clutch and brake repairs and air-conditioning regassing. For the past 33 years he has been servicing Mazdas in Geelong. Gary says a question customers often ask is â&#x20AC;&#x153;will we lose our warranty if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have our car serviced by the dealer?â&#x20AC;?. In Mazda service books under â&#x20AC;&#x153;Owner Responsibilityâ&#x20AC;? is the following statement: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You must retain evidence that proper maintenance has been performed on you Mazda vehicle which an authorised Mazda dealer or other service provider should certify in this warranty information booklet by its stamp and its signatureâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This means if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unhappy with your service centre, you can take your car to a service centre of your choice,â&#x20AC;? Gary says. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucial that genuine parts and correct oils are used, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important that you service your vehicle on time regardless of mileage.â&#x20AC;? So Gary says the answer to the question is â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, Keleman Motors can service your vehicle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, you will keep your warranty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, Keleman Motors uses genuine parts and the best oils. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, it has the latest electronic equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, Keleman Motors services all makes and models of cars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, Keleman Motors will save you money.â&#x20AC;? For more information or to make a booking, phone Keleman Motors on 5229 9555 or visit 3/13 Crown Street, South Geelong.

sport Cats in form for Saints game GEELONG Cricket Club continued its amazing winning streak last Saturday when it claimed an outright victory over Hawthorn Monash Uni in a dominant display. With first innings points already secured on day one, the only interest was whether the Cats could complete the rout and claim maximum points. Jeremy Hart picked up where he left off the week before, taking 4/21 to give him a 10-wicket haul for the match. The timing could not have been more perfect for Hart because Victorian selectors have been watching closely, rewarding him with selection in the state second XI last week. Marc Carson and Travis Agg also took two wickets each to dismiss Hawthorn Monash for just 77, leaving Geelong a target of just 28, which Matthew Harrison made short work of when he hit four boundaries and a six from 11 balls. Unfortunately, in the final of the one-day competition played on Sunday, Geelong was denied a chance to claim the title when rain washed out its run chase with the match in the balance. Chasing Prahran’s 219, play was halted with the Cats on 3/58. Prahran’s superior percentage during the preliminary rounds was enough for it to be declared champion.

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE Geelong will move on quickly from that result, though, knowing that the main prize is still within its grasp. This Saturday the Cats travel to St Kilda where a win against the 13th placed side should be achievable on current form. Geelong Cricket Association moves into its penultimate round with a logjam in the middle of the ladder unseen for many years. Just one game separates fourth placed East Belmont and ninth placed St Joseph’s, with all sides in between having genuine claims to make the top six. East appears certain to make it with a winnable game against Highton this week, while fifth placed Lara should account for Manifold Heights. That leaves Newtown & Chilwell in sixth place

and with its destiny in its own hands when the side travels to Geelong West tomorrow in a game the Two Blues will be treating as a virtual final. After two wins on the trot, including one over East Belmont, Newtown & Chilwell will back itself to put up a good fight. Ben Neville has lead the way all season, the skipper scoring 394 runs at 49 thus far, while Cory Mathieson has made over 200 of his own. With the ball, Dale Denny has an impressive 21 wickets at14, while Neville has 14 of his own. Geelong West is in red hot form but if Newton can cause an upset here it will approach March knowing its team can mix it with the best. Selections: GROVEDALE v St Joseph’s, Manifold Heights v LARA, GEELONG WEST v Newtown & Chilwell, Leopold v BELL POST HILL, EAST BELMONT v Highton, SOUTH BARWON v North Geelong. In division two, sixth placed Newcomb & District takes on fourth placed Waurn Ponds tomorrow in a game that will either finalise the top six with one round remaining or blow it wide open. The Dinosaurs defeated Alexander Thomson last game, Robbie Evans setting up the win on day one with a classy 78 in his side’s big total of 276 before Andrew Spengler and Matthew Hammond snared

three wickets each to dismiss the Vikings for just 161. Waurn Ponds played Bell Park last round and worked hard for its victory, something that may well hold it in good stead come the finals. Newcomb & District will be going all out to wrap up a finals spot and this intensity should be enough for a win. Other selections: Guild St Mary’s v ST PETERS TORQUAY v Bell Park, ST ALBANS BREAKWATER v Marshall, Murgheboluc v THOMSON, GEELONG CITY v Alexander Thomson,. In a similar scenario in division three Bannockburn has the chance to finalise the top six with a win over second placed Modewarre. The Tigers moved into sixth placed last week thanks to a timely outright victory over Little River Pat Richards was the star with an impressive 11wicket haul for the match, while Mark Allen fell three runs short of a deserved century. Modewarre will be no pushover though, meaning this game should be a cracker. Selections: Shelford v TEESDALE, LETHBRIDGE v Corio Bay, WINCHELSEA v Little River, Bannockburn v MODEWARRE, North Shore v CORIO, Corio Bay v MEREDITH.

River produces redfin and carp as anglers seek sheltered options On the bite BRIAN LONG UNFAVOURABLE conditions limited fishing success across the region over the past week. Some of the best captures came from the Barwon River in Geelong. Blue-green algae remained a concern but at least it failed to stop the carp from biting in a big way. Ashley Day landed a ripper carp, while Paul Henry fished Fyans Park near the old boat ramp to finish with three fish better than 3kg each. Lure anglers fishing just below Buckley Falls found the carp willing to take small minnow-patterns, especially Atomic shads and lay-down minnows. The lures were intended for redfin which were difficult to find around the falls. However, redfin were instead taken above Buckley Falls all the way to Ceres Bridge. A variety of lures worked, with vibes, Mepps spinners and Scorpions generally best. Trout anglers who made the trip to Ballarat found Lake Wendouree producing good numbers of fish to just over 1kg. Fly anglers have been using nymphs,

Grassed: Ashley Day with a typical Barwon River carp. damsyls and mudeye patterns, while counterparts with lures have favoured Celtas and shallow-running bibbed lures such as Dorado minnows. Kingfish reports increased, with offshore from Barwon Heads and Collendina producing numbers of fish around 3kg. Jigging has been working

well, with charter operators getting clients onto some hot action. The Rip produced limited captures but in big sizes, with some kings close to 15kg. Daniel George sought protection from the strong wind earlier in the week at Queenscliff’s cut where his soft plastics

caught six trevally, the best a beauty of 2.3kg. Daniel reported that another soft plastics angler nearby landed trevally and a snapper better than 3kg. Salmon were still available in The Rip area, with plenty of fish around 1kg and the odd specimen close to 3kg. Swan Bay had salmon mostly in the 1kg bracket. Terry Stirling fished at anchor inside Swan Bay where a quality flathead soon responded to his liberal berley trail. Terry dropping a bluebait to the fish only to see an even bigger flathead dart from under his boat before the other fish had a chance. Terry said the fish weighted 2.8kg. He also caught the fish, which tipped the scales past 2kg. Whiting specialist Antonio De Barr fished in close to Bird Rock for a baglimit catch. Most fish averaged 33cm but two were 42cm. Antonio also had fun with numerous garfish that responded to his berley. Noel Harper fished the outer-harbour spoil grounds, consistently hooking up on small snapper. Noel’s persistence paid off when his rod folded with a 4.6kg snapper then another just over 3kg. Paul Pier also got among the snapper on soft plastics while fishing the inshore edge of the Stingaree Bay spoil grounds, returning with his bag limit and five nice flathead. Stuart Carlson was rewarded for casting small laser lures from the rocks close to the silos pier, taking three pike around 75cm late in the evening.

St Helens was patchy again but some reasonable pinkie snapper and flathead were caught, with late evening and after dark best. Bluebait and fresh squid were best baits. Harrison Gram fished from his kayak in close to Royal Geelong Yacht Club where he found a shoal of salmon holding up against the outer retaining wall. Casting Gulp minnows into the action brought instant hook-ups, with Harrison catching and releasing over a dozen fish around 1kg. I watched an angler casting soft plastics from the sandbar in the Grammar School Lagoon consistently hooking up to small snapper and salmon. This location is perfect to fish on the run-up to high tide. While the Barwon River estuary had traces of algae, the fishing was quite good for bream. Fresh bait has been critical, with bass yabby, shrimp or sandworm accounting for bream over 1kg. This weekend should be good fishing downstream of the Ceres bridge for redfin with lures worked extremely slowly. Buckley Falls will be a worthwhile option for carp on corn or bread baits. Saltwater anglers should consider the rock platforms down near Lorne where salmon are still available on small, metal baitfish-profile lures.
