‘SUPERKIDZ’ BIG WINNERS

1023032-JF7-12

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG “love rat” Salvatore Cortorillo faces a civil class action for allegedly defrauding women out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to their lawyer. Andrew Senia said he had also been informed Victoria Police was launching a criminal investigation into the allegations. Mr Senia said five women had contacted him claiming they were new victims of Mr Cortorillo. Mr Senia obtained a landmark $1 million victory in the Supreme Court last year against Mr Cortorillo and his furniture business, Christie Tyler. Mr Cortorillo, also known as Sam, was ordered to return property, a luxury car and money to 66-year-old Kathleen Truran. Mrs Truran claimed Mr Cortorillo bombarded her with phone calls and emails and promised to marry her. Mr Senia said Mrs Truran had recovered the property and car, a $188,000 BMW, but $543,000 was still outstanding. Television program A Current Affair this week aired two stories on Mr Cortorillo, including his attempt to flee to London with another victim and her money. After police intervention Mr Cortorillo was allowed to board his flight alone. Mr Senia said the Echuca woman on A Current Affair, divorcee Vicky, who did not want her surname revealed, had contacted him before the story aired. Mr Senia said the successful civil case against Mr Cortorillo would form a precedent for the class action. “It was a significant case in the legal system and made history,” he said. Mr Senia alleged that Mr Cortorillo’s “modus operandi” was to befriend “vulnerable” women on the internet. He “promises them the world”, Mr Senia said. The women then allegedly transferred money or property to Mr Cortorillo. “We’re preparing information for when he comes back because he has a 12-month return ticket,” Mr Senia said. “Some of his other victims claim to have suffered losses of up to $250,000. Another one gave him $35,000 and another gave him a property.” Fire burnt down Christie Tyler’s Grovedale showroom and two neighbouring businesses last year. Geelong Police said an arson investigation was continuing. There is no suggestion Mr Cortorillo was in any way responsible for the fire.

Homage: Director Richard Gray, centre at back, at Torquay with cast members of Blinder. Picture: Tommy Ritchie

BY ERIN PEARSON BELLARINE Football League players will star in a new Australian movie to begin filming on the Surf Coast this month. Director Richard Gray said Blinder would “pay homage” to on and offfield contributors to Australian Rules. Bellarine league players would have opportunities to appear in the movie as the crew began filming in locations from Portarlington to Anglesea. “Don’t worry, though, the footy players won’t get big heads. They’ll be kept in check with a few hip and shoulders on the footy field,” Mr Gray laughed. He called the region an “ideal” location for his country football film. The movie would tell the story of an Australian NFL punter who returns to his home team, Torquay Tigers, to confront a scandal from his past. Mr Gray said football traditions

ranging from utes with couches to local watering holes would feature in the film. “The most important thing about football is the people that run these clubs, the women behind the players and the 50-year-old volunteers who work other jobs at the same time,” he said. “At lot of films go and shoot in a place but don’t say where it is but we’re so openly going to be all about the Torquay Tigers and Bellarine league. “They’re going to be the real players, the real families.” Mr Gray said his experience directing movies Summer Coda and Mine Games taught him audiences wanted to see “prettier” parts of the world. “I grew up having holidays with the family at Lorne, so the area was an obvious choice for me and we couldn’t be happier.”

in brief

Superkidz star in Geelong Multi Sports Festival ABOUT 150 children showed they have what it takes as budding triathletes in a Geelong Independent Superkidz Triathlon at Eastern Beach. The event was part of a three-day Geelong Multi Sports Festival last weekend, raising money for charity support body Give Where You Live. The festival also included a range of individual and team events over various distances as well as professional athletes competing in longcourse, olympic and sprintdistance triathlons. Geelong Independent managing editor Tony Galpin hailed Superkidz an outstanding event. “Entries were up about double on last year and all the kids really gave it their best,” he said. “They set a great example. Congratulations to everyone who competed.” In the Urban 2.80.20 longcourse triathlon, Clayton

Teacher quits AN ENGLISH teacher who made an internet porn film with a former student has quit Oberon High School. The man resigned this week after a weekend newspaper report that he and the woman in the film had opened a shop in Geelong selling “horny herbs” and legal “smoking alternatives”.

Masters host GEELONG will host a 2013 Australian Masters Games, Premier Ted Baillieu has announced. Mr Baillieu said the event would provide the city with a “strong economic benefit” after more than 7000 participants attended the 2009 games in Geelong.

Diabetes trial GEELONG GP practices will participate in a “groundbreaking” pilot scheme to improve care of diabetes sufferers, according to Victorian Health Minister David Davis. Mr Davis said the $2 million trial would be a “key test” of innovative models to care for a chronic health condition affecting increasing numbers of Victorians.

STATE GOVERNMENT might consider “relocating” two seals from Apollo Bay’s boat ramp after attacks on at least three people, according to Department of Sustainability and Environment. Compliance officer Stan Williams said the victims suffered “bites” as the seals pursued scraps of fish from anglers cleaning their catches near the ramp.

Lara’s population set Prepare now... for a Century to double under plan of Challenges. BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A 4000-LOT subdivision with potential to almost double Lara’s population is set for the town’s west, according to a council report. Geelong’s council revealed the plan as a prominent Lara developer announced it would sue Planning Minister Matthew Guy for preventing another subdivision in the town. Council this week “noted” a plan for the 390-hectare Lara West development bounded by Patullos, O’Hallorans, Windemere and Bacchus Marsh Rds. “Development will be staged and is likely to be spread over two to three decades,” the report said.

The landowners had formed a company and engaged project managers and planning consultants. The report said the site was included in a 2011 Lara Structure Plan. The area was “the best unfragmented opportunity for Lara’s future growth”, the report said. “At full development the site could yield up to 4000 lots with up to 11,000 people. “The site is directly west of another potential development site, Manzeene Ave (with an) estimated 500 lots.” The report said a neighbourhood activity centre of 4700sqm could include a full-line supermarket after 2020. Other infrastructure could include a convenience centre on

O’Hallorans Rd, a multipurpose community centre, a recreation reserve and provision for two primary schools and a year-nine-to-12 campus for Lara Secondary College. “The area is expected to generate in the order of 28,000 additional vehicle trips per day,” the report said. “Improvements to the existing external road network will be required.” Ward councillor Cameron Granger said carefully planned, orderly development would take place rather than areas of potential infill development. “Lara residents are not against development provided it is done in the right place and takes account of the nature of the township,” Cr Granger said.

“The primary concerns are around the infrastructure required for growth, and this plan has the foresight to provide for growth to the west of the Lara township for well over a decade,” he said. Council would conduct a community consultation session later this month. L Bisinella Developments revealed its legal action on Monday, the day before council noted the new plan. The company’s Supreme Court writ said Mr Guy’s quashing of Bisinella’s proposed residential development on Caddys Rd was “unreasonable”. Mr Guy was wrong to argue the development would have a “detrimental impact” upon adjacent Serendip Sanctuary, the writ said.

Body-in-barrel witness jailed despite ‘trauma’ appeal BY ERIN PEARSON A STAR witness in Geelong’s body-ina-barrel case has been jailed following a spate of thefts and breach of her suspended sentence for similar crimes.

BY MICHELLE HERBISON FEDERAL Government has “dudded� Victorian manufacturers like Alcoa with inadequate compensation for a carbon tax, according to a Victorian minister. Denis Napthine called on the Government to make compensation fairer for energy intensive trade-exposed industries. He said the Government promised 94.5 per cent compensation but would only deliver about 78 per cent. Mr Napthine said the “unfair system� made more difficult the “very challenging task� of securing the future of Alcoa’s Point Henry aluminium smelter. Alcoa announced last week it would review the viability of the 49-year-old smelter, threatening the loss of 600 jobs. Alcoa blamed metal prices, input costs and exchange rates for making the smelter unprofitable. Mr Napthine said the carbon tax was also putting jobs at risk. “If you’re going to have a carbon tax with compensation it should apply to all industries in Australia. It’s unfair.� Mr Napthine met Alcoa management, workers and City of Greater Geelong on Wednesday. After the meeting he raised with reporters a State Government package of retraining and assistance to Heinz workers after retrenchment. “I don’t want to go down that track. Our objective is to secure the future of the smelter and 600 jobs but it is a very challenging task indeed,� Mr Napthine said. Federal Labor Member for Corio Richard Marles called Mr Napthine “completely ignorant�. “Alcoa is 95 per cent shielded from the carbon

Her barrister, Caetlyn Wells-Simon, told the court the often-homeless Toulmin was working though a drug rehabilitation program.

Ms Wells-Simon recommended a community corrections order. She said Toulmin also suffered posttraumatic stress disorder after giving evidence in a trial of former boyfriend Lawrence Butler, 47, for the 2009 murder of Whittington’s Trevor Tascas. Magistrate Michael Coghlan argued against a community corrections order, fearing Toulmin would simply “find

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN LETHBRIDGE Airpark is applying for funds to become the region’s general aviation hub, according to owner Gary Baum. Mr Baum said surveys were recently completed to realign the facility’s twin runways. “We also hope to seal the runways and put lighting in,” he said. State Government last week opened applications to the $20 million Regional Aviation Fund. Mr Baum said he had “a queue” of aviation investors ready to build $3 million worth of hangars at the airpark. “We have 65 aircraft housed here now and more than 100 flying club members.” Mr Baum said the airpark was recently rezoned from farming to special purpose, enabling improvements to go ahead. “Our operations plan will be

Up and away: Gary Baum at Lethbridge Airpark. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 77282 submitted to Golden Plains Shire this week.” Mr Baum said the 10-to-15degree realignment would make the airpark “more neighbour friendly”. “It will give us greater clearance from houses when we

develop both runways to 1000 metres long and either 60 or 80 metres wide. “The biggest aircraft we will take is 5700kg, which is roughly a 10-seater.” Mr Baum said the airpark would focus on the smaller end

of the general aviation market. “I don’t see regular commuter runs through here but there’ll be a lot of tourism and charter work and general aviation training.” “The business market is growing because we can do a return flight to southern New South Wales or Adelaide in a day.” Mr Baum said passenger aviation would go through Avalon. The study also recommended that City of Greater Geelong, Avalon Airport and State Government collaborate on a long-term development plan to attract and accommodate commercial segments of the general aviation market. Avalon chief Justin Giddings said he was seeking confirmation from State Government that Avalon was eligible. “There are a lots of things we’d like to do but we have to check with the bureaucrats first.”

Coast ‘trade off’ for precinct land

&+$1*(' 75$)),& &21',7,216

BY ERIN PEARSON COUNCIL has backed a landowner’s bid to intensify Torquay development plans after running short of funds to buy land from him, according to a councillor. Ron Humphrey said council had accepted Charlie Santosporito’s revised plans for a 500 per cent expansion in retail area and inclusion of high-density housing on his land. The amended proposal conflicted with council’s 2008 Torquay North Outline Development plan for 1000 square metres of retail development and medium-density housing on the site.

The land is between Surf Coast Shire’s civic precinct and Horseshoe Bend Rd. Council had intended to buy part of the northern end of the site for about $5 million to extend the civic precinct. Cr Humphrey said council had run out of money to buy the land and was reluctant to extend its $19 million debt. “The trouble is council is sitting close to its prudential (debt) limit,� he said. “Council had planned to purchase the land to expand the open space there but they’ve run out of money because they didn’t get what they wanted for the old shire offices and the new offices blew out by $4 million.�

Under Mr Santosporito’s amended development plan council would receive without payment a smaller 3.3 hectares as “public open space� to expand the civic precinct. Cr Humphrey said the trade off for Mr Santosporito was enough retail space for two major supermarkets and specialty shops. The new plan also moved the retail site from Horseshoe Bend Rd to Fischer St. “Do people want this in a location where it’s going to upset so many residents?� Cr Humphrey asked. “Feeding two major supermarkets in a residential sidestreet would make the area catastrophic to live in. It’ll be no

good whining about it after everything’s built.� Torquay Commerce and Tourism Association president Martin Duke backed the proposed retail precinct. The development would service neighbouring homes without impacting on existing traders in Torquay, he said. “We’re looking at a neighbourhood shopping centre that would be there to cater for the neighbourhood. It’s not going to affect smaller businesses because banking and things will all still be in town. “Unlike the Bunnings development, it won’t be an eyesore at the entrance of town.�

Struggling: Harry and Tanya Reid.

EVERY DAY for the past 13 years the life of Torquay’s Tanya Hansen has revolved around her son. She watched Harry head off to his first day at school but has never seen him take his first steps or ride a bike. Harry Reid’s multiple disabilities including cerebral palsy have left his family desperate for financial help. Tanya said Harry was now too big to lift into the family car. As his primary carer she desperately needed a van with wheelchair access, she said. “We can’t lift him in and out of the car anymore, so he’s become socially isolated. “It’s hard for him to be included in family outings or to his hydrotherapy appoint-

ments because getting him to and from the car is so hard. “We only have a 1980 bomb of a car and desperately need one with a hoist.� Harry also has a severe developmental delay, microcephaly and visual and hearing problems. Grandmother Maree Hansen said Harry was “well-known and well-liked� around town. She hoped old-fashioned community spirit would shine through to help her family. “Driving is Harry’s favorite thing. He loves going for a drive and listening to Neil Diamond,� Maree said. “I know it’s a big thing to ask for so much money but we want him to have

quality of life.� I Give A Buck foundation, which helps disadvantaged children with life-altering conditions, is leading the fundraiser. Chief executive officer Barb Blashki said a new purpose-built van for the family of four would cost around $55,000. Ms Blashki said both Harry’s parents had health issues and his grandmother was a cancer survivor, making finances “extremely tight�. “At I Give A Buck we believe that every child has the right to shine and the right to live with dignity and good health and happiness.� Ms Blashki said donations were being taken at igiveabuck.org.au.

BY MICHELLE HERBISON A NEW lobbying drive will ask for designated jet ski areas away from swimmers at St Leonards, a community group has revealed. The push follows Member for Bellarine Lisa Neville raising jet ski safety issues in parliament last week. St Leonards Progress Association secretary Paul Sproules said the organisation would write to ministers seeking jet ski area away from swimmers. Mr Sproules said the association would also ask Parks Victoria to investigate safety and environmental issues surrounding jet skis. “There’s a need to have specified designated areas for jet ski use so there’s no impact on families that want to swim,� he said.

Safety: Lisa Neville “It’s not like we’re trying to ban jet skis. We’re just trying to give them a safe area for operation that’s environmentally friendly.� Mr Sproule said he had drafted a letter for Parks Victoria, Environment Minister Ryan Smith, Sport and Recreation Minister Hugh Delahunty,

Police Minister Peter Ryan and Ms Neville. Ms Neville urged Environment Minister Ryan Smith in parliament to consult communities about managing jet ski use. “It’s often only a few irresponsible people using PWCs (personal water craft) who’re threatening the safe enjoyment of local beaches,� she said. “Some people want PWCs banned altogether. However, others say PWC users are welcome and an important part of the local tourism industry.� Mr Smith said he supported regulations on jet ski use. “I’m certainly happy to address the specific concerns that any of (Ms Neville’s) community groups might like to raise with me in that regard,� he said.

Water Police Acting Senior Sergeant Mark O’Rourke said jet skis coming close to swimmers was a “significant issue� along the Victorian coast. “The majority of people that ride jet skis do the right thing and it’s a small minority that cause the problems. “They can get close to the shore and ride up to the beach, so I can understand the community having issues with that.� Snr Sgt O’Rourke backed the lobbying effort. “You have to go five knots of less within 50m of a swimmer but jet skis are designed to go fast and sometimes people can’t help themselves.� Snr Sgt O’Rourke said water police regularly patrolled the St Leonards area throughout summer.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN ELECTRIC mobility scooter accidents have sent 14 riders to Geelong Hospital’s emergency department over the past decade, according to a research survey. But a retailer said the accident rate would be much higher, with “thousands” of scooters now in use around the region. Monash University figures for the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission study said eight of the Geelong victims were admitted to hospital. The most common incident was falls from scooters, often resulting in fractures and head injuries.

Collisions and roll-overs were also typical accidents. Sixty fatalities and hundreds of injuries were reported nationally. GWS Rehab Supplies’ Yvonne Clapton said the number of scooters in the region was growing with its ageing population. “Scooter safety is something that’s needed because it’s a whole new world when you’re on a scooter,” Ms Clapton said. “You don’t realise the obstacles and hazards like positioning a scooter to activate the walk signal at traffic lights. Branches hanging over a fence become obstacles, while angled footpath and driveway entries could tip a scooter

over.” Ms Clapton “strongly encouraged” home trials before purchasing scooters. “One older gentleman thought it was okay to drive his scooter down an escalator.” The commission’s Sarah Court said accident rates were increasing. “The survey results will help us to better understand safety issues surrounding mobility scooters and their users and target any future work in this important area.” The survey can be completed before April 5 at productsafety.gov.au/mobilityscooters or by phoning the commission on 1300 302 502.

His spokesperson said Mr Smith was waiting to receive the revised plans from the shire. Surf Coast Shire, which manages Bells Beach, refuses to answer questions from the Independent.

BY ERIN PEARSON Controversial plans to redevelop Bells Beach have lost the support of surfing and environmental groups, according to a formal statement this week. The joint statement was aimed at State Environment Minister Ryan Smith and the Surf Coast Council. Members of the groups served on a former community advisory committee on Bells Beach and expressed their shock at being “prematurely terminated with no explanation”. They said they had only agreed to “fast track” the master plan at the insistence of Surf Coast Shire representatives to attract funding. Their endorsement came with a proviso that plans could later be changed, the statement said. The funding would have covered “urgent” work to address drainage, sewerage and erosion issues at the beach but nothing was done. “BBAC is now replaced by the Bells Beach Community Advisory Committee. The terms of reference of the BBCAC do not allow it to comment on the implementation of the plan,” the statement said. Former committee member Maurice Cole said all nine former members were fed up with council and State Government over the future of the surfing reserve. “In the master plan there were 57 changes to Bells and not one was for surfers,” he said. “Council wants to put five

However, we believe that the current soft retail environment is a contributing factor,” Pricewaterhousecoopers said.

Seawall writ hits council for $1.3m BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A COMPANY contracted to build an Eastern Beach seawall is suing council for $1.3 million, according to a statement of claim. The claim, contained in a Supreme Court of Victoria writ, said Downer EDI suffered extra costs on the project. Downer EDI said City of Greater Geelong contracted the company in April 2008 to carry out the project for $1.7 million.

But Downer EDI later discovered “problems” with the project. The company said it uncovered discrepancies in designs and drawings that council had provided. Downer EDI claimed it had to build a temporary dam to hold back the waters of Corio Bay while reconstructing the seawall. “Works were incapable of being constructed in the manner outlined in the design,” the claim said. Council’s drawings were

“wrong and misleading”. The claim said the old seawall had to be demolished during the project because it had partially collapsed. Downer EDI said it wrote to project superintendent Stephen Wright seeking compensation for the extra work. The claim said the City rejected the compensation request, which was in breach of the contract. Council’s response was that an experienced contractor

BEFORE the Tower of Babel, so the good book tells us, we all spoke a single language. Everyone understood each other and everyone cooperated, ensuring major building projects got off to a quick start. But the whole development was scuttled when the good Lord decided a united mankind was too cocky and introduced a confusion of languages. Enter Polish doctor Ludwig Zamenhof who constructed a new language, called Esperanto, to foster harmony. Living in the last part of the 19th Century, he proposed his universal second language as a way to lessen the disputes, fights and wars he witnessed. A group of people on the Surf Coast thought that was a pretty neat idea, so they formed the nucleus of Torquay Esperanto Club. Club leader John Adams said the 125-year-old language was unifying and growing quietly around the world. “Ten years ago my wife and I were retired and wanted something to exercise our brains to keep mentally active,” John explained. “We found a website and start-

Join the club JOHN VAN KLAVEREN ed learning Esperanto and joined the Melbourne club. “Soon after we made contact with other Torquay residents learning Esperanto, so we decided to start a local club about five or six years ago. “We’ve been meeting ever since, learning and studying the language. We converse in it and there are quite a few publications in Esperanto for us to read.” John said Esperanto-speaking international visitors often dropped in, grateful for the opportunity to speak to a local even though their natural languages were different. “As members of the Australian Esperanto Association we can attend international Esperanto congresses or an annual summer school.” John admitted the profile of Esperanto around the world need-

ed to be raised. “There’s still a huge amount of work to be done but the internet has made a big difference. “If Australian leaders showed some interest I’m sure more Australians would take it up.” John said learning was easy. “It only takes a few weeks to pick it up, although takes years to be proficient. “If children learn it they can use Esperanto as a stepping stone to other languages. “But we just enjoy the challenge of doing it. The way the language is put together is fascinating, it’s simple but it makes sense.” John said the Esperanto association was approaching universities around Australia to create greater interest in the language. “We’re talking to Deakin about participating in the orientation days for this year. “We have programs that enable someone to learn Esperanto in 125 days, complete with a teacher, over the internet. The club also has a library of Esperanto books.” John said Torquay Esperanto Club met on the first Saturday of every month. Anyone interested in joining could phone him on 0421 043 272, he said.

letters In the swim A STORY headlined ‘Lessons surge as cash splashed on swimming skills’ in the February 3 Independent was commendable for highlighting the importance of learn-toswim programs. It was disappointing the VICSWIM learn-to-swim program did not run in the previous summer of 2010/2011 due to the state Labor Government’s decision not to fund the program. In contrast, the Victorian Coalition Government is committed to the VICSWIM program. The Coalition Government’s $1.6 million election commitment has reduced the cost to Victorian families and their children of VICSWIM learn-to-swim programs across Victoria, including at Anglesea, Ocean Grove and Torquay. This funding boost has successfully led to more than 4500 Victorian kids participating in the VICSWIM Summer Kidz program this summer. Hugh Delahunty MP Victorian Minister for Sport and Recreation

Wake in fright SO TONY Abbot was right when he suggested the carbon tax was an issue for Alcoa. The tax, introduced to appease the pantheistic Greens, will substantially weaken the Australian economy, do nothing to stop non-existent global warming and destroy jobs in its mindless wake. The only good news is that it will destroy Julia Gillard’s job as well. The big question post this Labor/Green/independent minority government will be the extent of the economic and social carnage the tax leaves in its destructive wake. Brian Handley Geelong

Economy gassed

1019796-RMB06-12

BEFORE parliament voted on the carbon tax MPs had just 10 days to read 1000 pages of proposed legislation. Did they have adequate time to calculate the cost to the Australian economy? If they had they would have realised in its first year of operation the tax would cost the average Australian family over $1000

in extra costs, with further annual increases for at least the following three years. Also, did they realise that Australia’s carbon price of $23 a tonne would be way above the European Union average of $1.53? Did they realise Australia’s tax would raise $71 billion in its first six years compared to the European Union’s $5 billion over a similar timeframe? A carbon tax will also add 6.5 cents a litre to petrol, starting in July. The cost to the Australian minerals sector alone will start at $25 billion dollars. The US, Canada and Japan have dumped plans to introduce carbon taxes. Why are we going ahead where angels fear to tread? The rest of the world will not follow our lead but rub hands in glee as Australia undermines its own competitiveness and exports industries and jobs offshore. The Gillard Government, having dismissed nuclear power, should focus on gasfired power generation, the only reliable, on-demand alternative to coal-fired generation in Australia. Gas power generation is the way forward. Alan Barron Grovedale

Time to transition MANY analysts in the financial world warn that a decades-long debt expansion based on Ponzi dynamics has created a global credit bubble that is about to end. As a consequence, we are now facing a serious deflationary financial crisis that will change many of the things we take for granted in our daily lives. Australia’s private debt to GDP has increased six-fold since 1965. Our economy has only been able to grow because of a daily injection of new money loaned into existence by the banks. Citizens, like many sovereign nations, are now up to their eyeballs in debt. When financial bubbles have burst in the past recovery has been possible only because of an expanding supply of credit and cheap energy. This time things will be different. The cheap oil that has been the lifeblood of our economy is gone. In fact, energy in all its forms has become too expensive to allow economies to continue growing as they have done.

According to many analysts, energy shortages and a shrinking money supply along with climate change, population growth and food insecurity are forming a perfect storm that will likely disrupt our whole industrial system. It is crucial that we start now on projects to build community cohesion, resilience and self-reliance. This means re-localising the production of energy, goods and services. The Global Transition Town model offers our best path towards secure, prosperous, low-energy future. Phil Baulch Transition South Barwon

Banned wagon “IN THE beginning God created Heaven and Earth”. We all know where this quote came from. The Word also says: “Our Father, who art in heaven…give us this day our daily bread”. The Bible goes on to tell us about masses being fed with a couple of fish and a few crusty loaves of bread. Obviously God knew about bread. As everyone knows, the stuff that makes bread rise is carbon dioxide, CO2. Perhaps if our Prime Minister passed legislation banning bread we would not need a carbon tax. While she’s at it, ban beer because those uncouth burps are caused by the bubbles in beer, which are also CO2. She should also ban champagne because the bubbles that get up the noses of its drinkers are also CO2. What about children’s fizzy drinks? My point is that if God created Heaven and Earth and everything in between it would be reasonable to assume He knew all about CO2. The logical conclusion is that we need CO2. Why do I not hear any messages about this from the pulpit? Sandra Camm Highton

A FORMER Ku Klux Klan leader will speak at a Waurn Ponds church next month, according to promoters. They said Johnny Lee Clary was now an “internationally acclaimed communicator” after shunning the white supremacy movement to become a civil rights speaker. “As a teenager Johnny was seduced by the teachings of the Ku Klux Klan and eventually rose to become the imperial wizard of the White Knights of the KKK.” The promoters said Clary changed his ways after crying out to God in a suicidal state. Clary was booked to speak at Waurn Ponds Community Church on March 17, 18 and 19, they said.

‘BLACK HATT HOTEL’ 1022196-PJ6-12

BY ERIN PEARSON COMEDIAN Joel Creasey admits he is still getting his head around public speaking. Since first appearing on the Perth comedy scene at the tender age of 17, Creasey has since headlined all the west coast’s top comedy venues and toured Sydney and Melbourne. But performing without humor was a foreign concept to many comedians, the 21-year-old said “I could never get up at karaoke or a birthday and do a speech,” Creasey admitted. “Even to the point where at a sporting event, I can’t get involved because I fear I’m the one who will stuff everything up. “I think I’m quite deluded. Comedy, though, just comes naturally to me and, as it is for most comedians, comedy is just something you do. “No one knows where it comes from.” Creasey, a full-time stand-up professional for 18 months, attributed his success to a high school teacher who set him on the “right path”. “My year 12 political media studies teacher gave out at the end of the year a Mr Men book to everyone and she gave me Mr Funny. Then I begun to think about stand-up. “When I entered my first stand up competition everyone was kind of shocked. “People from school didn’t know I was funny but I was like ‘You’re an engineer and I didn’t know you were smart’.” Creasey, touring with Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s Raw Comedy talent search, said Australia’s largest open-mic comedy competition was an important stepping stone. His only words of advice for any novices thinking about competing was “just smile”. “You can say the most horrible things about people as long as you have a smile,” he laughed. “I look forward too seeing who’s going to come

Pako Festa 2012

30th Anniversary Saturday, Feb 25

Festa a celebration of diversity on Pako THIS YEAR PakoFesta reaches a significant milestone, its 30th anniversary. When the conversation started in the early 1980s between the Geelong West Traders Association, Geelong West City Council and Geelong Migrant Resource Centre, it was all about running a multicultural event in Pakington Street celebrating with food, dance, music and fun. To this day the focus of the festival hasn’t changed. You can still walk down the street and engage all your senses. You can smell the amazing food from countries far and wide, taste something you’ve never tasted before, see the vibrant street parade with its national costumes and the dancing, and touch the creative wares and perhaps try something new in the craft area. This year is one not to be missed and you surely won’t miss Carmen Miranda and her 30 helpers leading the 30th parade down Pakington Street. Pako Festa would not be possible without the assistance of many different groups. I am pleased to acknowledge the ongoing support of our local, state and federal governments. This year we have received a boost from the State Government through the Victorian Office for Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship with funding increased to $100,000. After nine years we thank Matchworks for its support as naming right sponsor, welcoming BCC and Betta Electrical Geelong West as our new naming rights sponsor for our big 30th birthday bash. Matthew and Min Sun from BCC and Betta are great supporters of PakoFesta, Diversitat and our cultural communities and in this the year of the Dragon we thank them for their generous support. Thanks are also due to the many sponsors, partners, volunteers and supporting traders who contribute so much to this event. And after 30 brilliant events, I applaud community members from the following countries who haven’t missed a year of the fun: Croatia, Holland, the Philippines, Greece, Germany, Scotland, Poland, Lithuania, China, Italy, Spain, Macedonia,

R E M O VA L

THE CITY of Greater Geelong is proud to host Victoria's largest multicultural festival. This year is the event's 30th anniversary, a huge effort that emphasises how much Pako Festa has really become part of Geelong's identity. These days the event attracts more than 100,000 people who come to experience one of the most vibrant days on Geelong's event calendar. Once again I'm looking forward to experiencing the exciting blend of international food, music, dancing and art that Pako Festa serves up year after year. The combination of market stalls, great food and the iconic street parade transforms Pakington Street into a buzzing, exciting festival. Geelong is a proud multicultural city that celebrates and encourages the different cultures and traditions in our community.

Pako Festa gives us the chance to broaden our experiences and learn from a wide range of traditions, customs and cultures. The City is proud to again support Pako Festa. Congratulations to Diversitat and the many others whose efforts have helped make it such a huge success for the past 30 years. Enjoy the food and festivities!

French Quarter. Pako patrons preferring a French-inspired dash of perfection should visit Perfect Pieces on Pakington Street. A wonderful bilingual puppet show in French and English, Beauty and the Beast will be presented by Carousel Theatre. The shows start 1.15pm and 3pm in the French Quarter. Hot Club Swing will entertain from 5pm with music drawing on an exotic palate of classical, swing and gypsy influences. The band’s music paints on a canvas that can be eloquently French, starkly rustic or darkly and romantically gypsy. To mark the 30th birthday of Pako Festa, a collection of Pako Festa Posters from 1983 through to 2012 will be on display at National Australia Bank and Cafe Smudge, both on Pakington Street. The exhibition will show the way the event has evolved, which will also be reflected in a Pako on Screen display on the giant screen at Pakington Strand. Patrons should also make sure they check out all of the entertainment on the six outdoor stages and watch out for popular Geelong band Grasshopper, on the West Park stage, reappearing after 30 years.

NEXT WEEKEND’S Great Pako Festa Street Parade will start at 11am, embodying colour, culture and celebration as one of the most important events at Pako Festa. Patrons should look out for the festa’s 30 Carmen Mirandas as they kick off the 30th birthday celebrations and help get everyone in the spirit to party. Favourite Channel 7 Home and Away stars will head up the big Pako Festa Parade, with fans able to meet them afterward from 12.30pm to 2pm on the Channel 7 stage. The stars will sign autographs and chat with fans, so don’t forget to bring cameras. Down near the Pakington Strand will be Geelong’s own slice of France. Pako patrons will discover the Alliance Francaise de Geelong display, French chocolate stall Cacao Fine Chocolates & Patisserie, which manufactures premium macaroons, chocolates, cakes and pastries. Don’t forget the French Bakery in Pakington Street, a local favorite. So whatever that treat is – a chocolate bonbon, a flaky croissant, a French macaroon or a seductive signature hot chocolate, lovers of pastries or anything chocolate should be sure to visit the

SOMETHING TO CELLARBRATE

Nation’s largest multicultural day

PAKO FESTA CELLARBRATIONS! BIG VARIE TY OF FINE WIN E AVAILABL S E

Bacardi & Cola Pre-mix cans x 24

$59.99 PAKO FESTA has evolved into Australia’s largest free community arts festival and Victoria’s premier multicultural event. First staged in 1983, the event turns 30 this year – and what a difference 30 years makes. This year’s event will pay homage to the history of the iconic event by bringing back some of the old and incorporating some of the new. The inaugural festa featured 19 national groups participating in front of a crowd of about 12,000. Traditionally the Pako Parade started at Gordon Avenue and in true parade style went up the street and back again. Although some of the other activities of Pako Festa may have come and gone over the years – the pizza eating and beer drinking contests now a distant memory – the event remains an extravagant mix of cultural food, dance and entertainment. The first headline act for Pako Festa was local band Grasshopper, rocking out to a packed West Memorial Park. The band will reform this year especially for the 30th birthday celebrations and once again entertain the crowds on the same stage. This year Pako Festa organisers expect well over 100,000 attendees catching a slice of culture from 43 separate ethnic communities. The street will again be lined with stalls selling traditional foods and arts and crafts, with nine separate stages offering performances of music, dance, interactive workshops and exhibitions. Those involved include the Italian, Spanish, Greek and Dutch communities through to the most recently arrived migrant and refugee groups such as Karen, Karenni, Congolese and Sudanese. Local community groups including schools, social clubs, music groups and sports clubs will be there, many participating in the much loved Pako Parade. Carmen Mirandas of all shapes, sizes and colours will lead the parade down Pako. The 30 Carmens will represent each year of the parade. In 1983 the event closed at 5.30pm with a tug-of-war. This year the closing event will start at 6.30pm and go well on into the night with a 30th birthday party at Geelong West Town Hall. Happy birthday, Pako Festa.

Melbourne’s Sabrina and the Red Vans inject some soul and groove into the hard worn genre of rock 'n' roll. With dirty guitar solos and driving drum and bass compliment commanding vocal harmonies, creating a dramatic push and pull effect that forms the essence of the band. Lead vocalist Sabrina Sandapa has found fans internationally, earning a nomination for Best Female Vocal at the Los Angeles Music Awards(2007), as well as 1st place in the Folk/Acoustic sector of the Australian Songwriting Contest (2009) and Winner of the 2007 Coke a Cola Live and Local unsigned competition.

GEELONG West's Pakington Street will be filled with fruit hats as Carmen Mirandas of all sizes, shapes and colours highlight this year's Pako Festa. To help celebrate the 30th anniversary for the huge multi cultural festival and street parade, a samba of Carmen Mirandas will invade the street. The parade's lead Carmen Miranda, played this year by talented local singer and dancer Jessica Costa, is looking for 30 assistant Carmens to join her. "We are looking for anyone who might have a secret Carmen Miranda trapped inside them, ready to burst out," festival director Luisa La Fornara said. "We would love to be surprised by lots of different ideas about how outrageously gorgeous your Carmen can be," she said. "Its open to anyone so let your imagination go wild." Jessica and her 30 assistant Carmen Mirandas will lead the parade down Pako representing each of the 30 years the great procession has been held. Carmen Miranda was a Brazilian samba singer, Broadway actress and Hollywood film star popular in the 1940s and 1950s. According to reports, she became the highest-paid woman in show business. She famously wore a fruit hat outfit in a 1943 movie, becoming her signature. Her fascination with fascinators began before Carmen became famous when she worked in a boutique where she learned to make hats, later opening her own hat business. Pako Festa attracts more than 100,000 people to Geelong's multicultural heart. It has been supported with $100,000 from the State Government and sponsorship from BCC Computers and Betta Geelong West. Interested Carmens can email pakofesta@diversitat.org.au to get involved in Pako Festa on Saturday, February 25.

Venta an original Venta Pacoski is an original – she has been involved in Pako Festa every year since 1983. Along the way she has hosted a Macedonian radio program on 94.7 The Pulse for the last 16 years, presenting news and current affairs, community announcements, special religious days, food advice and ideas. The show is streamed online allowing listeners to tune in from anywhere they like to hear their much loved show. Venta still remembers being present for the initial discussions when Pako Festa was still a distant dream, influenced by Melbourne’s great Moomba festival. What year do you first get involved in Pako Festa? I was involved from the very beginning. Moomba had a big influence on the first Pako Festa. It made us very proud and still to this day I value the other cultural groups involved. The Croatian dancing group Lado inspired us to start our own Macedonian dancing group for the first festival. My son played the piano accordion in the early parades. What did you do in your first Pako Festa and how did you get involved? There was dancing in the Geelong West Town Hall forequarter, people were just dancing everywhere, there was so much excitement. We had about 20 people in our community group back then and it grew to 150 people. What do you remember about the food, dancing, costumes and crafts in the early years of Pako festa? We were together, all different cultural communities and we were there to share with other people. There weren’t many Macedonian people in Geelong back then so they got together with other communities that were in a similar situation. What is a memory from the early

years? We didn’t have costumes from Macedonia for our dance group so we had to make some. All the women got together, led by some dressmakers and we made some costumes. They rallied together to ensure that they properly represented our culture.

What do you like about Pako Festa now? Today I still get the same feeling when I go to Pako Festa.I cannot believe the amount of people in the last few years, it has grown so much. I value the other cultures and being together, sharing the costumes, the food and culture.

The world of broadcasting and production may look glamorous, but behind the roles like anchoring or performing, there are many people that make things possible to be seen on the television or heard on the radio. Even if on-camera or on-air positions are the most familiar terms that are used in broadcasting, the majority of employment opportunities are behind the scenes. Whether you want to be in the spotlight or behind the scenes begin your career by studying at a facility that has state of the art facilities and teachers who are industry professionals. GMEC will give you practical experience and skills to set your career on fire.

European Vehicle Specialists European Affair has over 30 years experience servicing european vehicles... We are Geelong’s most trusted dealer alternative... Our service second to none... Protect your investment and call European Affair today... Recent experience: Bolembo Diedonne (Congolese), Win Maung Moo (Karen), Madelena Bilobi (Congolese), Mika Kabonko (Congolese), Sarah Daye (Liberian) and Moedu Augustino (Karenni) look forward to Pako Festa.

City’s new faces MEMBERS of recently arrived communities in Geelong share their experiences of the city and Pako Festa. Karenni community leader Moedu Augustino has been in Australia for two and a half years after leaiving a Burmese refugee camp in Thailand. What do you like about Geelong? I like the city, it's a very clean, fresh environment. Many different cultures live here – it is very diverse. I like the beach at Lorne where I enjoyed working at the Falls Festival. What is your involvement in Pako Festa this year? This year our Karenni choir will perform and they will be in the parade using traditional instruments. What does celebrating your culture mean to you? To show our traditional dress and instruments and that our community is an active participant. It is also important to show our children so they can learn about different cultures and identities and maintain respect for tradition and their own culture. Karen community leader Win Maung Moo has been in Australia since 2008 after spending time in a refugee camp on the Thailand/Burma border. What do you like about Geelong? I like having the beach all around. I really like the sports like soccer. I've tried Aussie rules but I'm not tall enough. What is your involvement in Pako Festa this year?

Our community is dancing on the West Park Stage and we will be in the parade. What does celebrating your culture mean to you? To maintain our culture and traditions and to show the new generation so they won't forget. Pako Festa gives us and all communities the chance to reveal their traditions. Congolese community leader Mika Kabonko has been in Australia for 16 months. The Congolese community arrived in Geelong from various refugee camps in Africa. What do you like about Geelong? Peace, good people living in the neighbourhood, no war, justice, facilities, food, shopping centres, schools, transport, good hospitals, friendliness, the beach, sports and Diversitat's help. What is your involvement in Pako Festa this year? We will be in the street parade and sing in the choir. What does celebrating your culture mean to you? To promote our culture to others, to remember our native country and to educate our kids about our culture. Pako Festa gives us the opportunity to remember how these were celebrated in our country and to revive the things taught to us by ancestors. The oldest female member of the Liberian community, known as Mother, is Sarah Daye who has been in

Australia for five years after 17 years in a Ghanaian refugee camp. What do you like about living in Geelong? Geelong is a great place to live, affordable housing, good neighbourhood and friendly. Have you been to Pako Festa before? Yes, ever since arriving in Australia. What does celebrating your culture mean to you? It is important for all African communities as we love dancing and singing. It is also important to our children because it helps them to understand their own heritage and it makes us happy! Afghan community president Abdolghafoor Mohseni has been in Australia for seven years after living in Iran for 23. What do you like about Geelong? It is a nice and quiet city. The beach is close to the city. The weather is sunny and windy. People are kind and caring, friendly. What is your involvement in Pako Festa this year? Leading our community, informing the general public about our country and its people, our beautiful food and clothes. What does celebrating your culture mean to you? It is important to increase the knowledge of other cultures and their traditions to decrease racism and dislike.

It’s a time for celebration at MACS too As Pako Festa celebrates its 30th birthday, there are plenty of reasons to smile for the staff and residents at Geelong’s Multicultural Aged Care Services.

1022339-JM7-12

MACS has been providing quality care and support for Geelong’s frail elderly community since 1994. Our focus is meeting the special needs of older people from different cultural backgrounds - celebrating diversity, respecting dignity and valuing integrity. We’ll be able to further our mission with the announcement of a new development at MACS in Weddell Rd, North Geelong. We were successful in obtaining 30 bed licences from the Commonwealth Government for 10 low care beds and 20 high care beds. This will allow us to develop up dementia specific beds for the community, a service that we have wanted to provide for many years. Plans for the multi million dollar redevelopment are already well advanced and we hope to start work within the next few months. Plus MACS recently received two awards that means our organisation and staff have been recognised as putting our residents first. That’s why we are so pleased with these awards – because it’s what we believe we do, every day, as well. To see just how we do that, feel free to call, drop in or check the website. We’d love to show you around our award-winning place.

TRADITIONAL crafts have long been a Pako Festa hallmark but this year, the tradition receives a unique modern twist. The resurgence is being driven by a new program, Recycle Your Life, developed by Diversitat. Craft displays were as popular as the food and dancing in the early years of the event, with traditional weaving, pysanky (Ukraninan egg painting), Lithuanian inkle weaving and crocheting particularly popular. But the emphasis in 2012 is on the reuse of materials in a sustainable and creative way. This calls for new techniques and the relearning of different cultural craft methods as part of the preservation of our cultural heritage. Everyone has clothes that no longer fit, the collection of beautiful shells from the beach, even some broken crockery, or old damaged jewellery that still has sentimental value. The craft space at Pako Festa will provide a solution to your fashion or clutter dilemmas with the Recycle Your Life program. The program offers new exciting short courses, with the trainers available at Pako Festa to demonstrate their skills. And they will be happy to discuss the possibilities for doing some 'upcycling' with contemporary handmade craft. Described as art and craft that satisfies the soul, the Recycle Your Life program aims to make use of the things you already have or have found rather than buying new clothes, or new fabrics. Seasoned jewellery maker and owner of Eclectica on Pakington Street, Amanda Jane will be running a short course in recycled jewellery starting in April. "Everyone has a jar of buttons at home or a copy of a women's magazine. That's all you need to create a gorgeous piece of jewellery," Amanda said. To complement your soulful creative side the craft space will include weaving demonstrations by Geelong Artisan Group and the Croatian community, and contemporary felting by Jo Bagge of KnitOneFeltTwo. This will also be the first opportunity to purchase bags created by The Reuse and Create program that has already been busy producing bags for all needs, for sale for the first time at Pako Festa. Whether it's for books, shopping or vegies, these bags have all been made with recycled material using various techniques from many different cultures. The free activity will be held in the supper room at Geelong West Town Hall from 1pm5pm. For enquiries around the Recycle Your Life short courses contact Dani Salvo at Diversitat on 5221 6044.

Pako Festa 2012

Richard Marles MP Federal Member for Corio

JOSIE Hernandez's passion for food is evident from the outset. She is happiest when entertaining and sharing her culture, Josie says. "I buy only the freshest ingredients and even cure my own Jamón (cured ham) at home." But Josie's cooking extends further than just her own kitchen and each year she can be found cooking up her famous paella at Pako Festa. This year marks Josie's 29th year of involvement with Pako Festa, rain hail or shine. Josie says she has dealt with weather conditions of all kinds, from being rained out to hot days that threatened to spoil the party. Josie will again cook up her paella and churros to raise money for the local Spanish dancing group Andalucia, demonstrating their culture by performing at Pako Festa. "Every year I taste something new at Pako Festa," Josie confided. "Last year the Greek ladies cakes stood out, but the Filipino, Croatian and Italian communities all rated a mention as they also have beautiful dishes." Josie said she found it difficult to single out a dish as a favourite because each had its own charm. "It is more about what each dish can do. Food can bring family and friends together and it can unite people from

Spain on parade: Josie Hernandez temps tastebuds with authentic Spanish treats. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 76629 many different cultures." Josie still hosts the family dinner every Tuesday night and cooks anything from stews to lasagne and a variety of salads. Josie's cooking tips are: use fresh ingredients; make sure you have high quality meats and seafood; keep your kitchen very clean and tidy; and use your kitchen as a key to sharing and

bringing people together. For barbecuing any meat add: garlic; red paprika; pepper and salt to taste; oregano; dry sherry; and olive oil. Marinate for a few hours – the longer the better the flavour because the marinade softens and tenderises the meat Barbecue the meat and serve.

Get involved with fun of the festa

Artful: Children will be able to make their marks at Pako Festa this year.

PLENTY OF wonderful entertainment will be available both off the stage and as part of the parade at Pako Festa. The Youth Area, in Hope St’s car park, will feature chalk pavement artist Ulla Taylor captivating kids with her Art Snake workshop. All ages are invited to create their own artwork within a giant Art Snake mural on the pavement. With pastels and knees pads, Ulla creates public, contemporary street artworks in Australia, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Some amazing roving performers are sure to grab attention on the day. Flitter and Flutter, two giant butterflies, are the original gentle giants of the parade. They dance, pose, sip nectar, give out beautiful butterfly stamps and make friends with all ages and cultures. In dazzling red and white, Country Fair stilt walkers will celebrate the best of country life. With a basket of goodies and

sandwiches stacked high, Country Fair provides a sense of fun while rejoicing in good food, fine wine and community gatherings. Wanda the giant colorful fish will make a giant splash as she poses for photos and blow bubbles for Wilber, the fisherman with his rubbery oversized hook. She’ll even help you to catch her. Dazzling Dan the Magic Man will stroll among the crowd, borrowing money, rings and coins to perform magic with them right under owners’ noses. A series of dance demonstrations and workshops running throughout the day include: Scottish community, West Town Hall, 2pm; Maori community, West Town Hall, 3pm; Bosnian community, West Town Hall, 3.30pm; Fiesta Mexico, Channel 7 stage, 3.45pm; Poise’n Bollypop, Channel 7 stage, 4.20pm; The Vibe Dance Studios, Channel 7 stage, 5pm; and Salsa Street, Channel 7 stage, 5.30pm.

Congratulations Pako Festa for 30 years celebrating Geelong’s cultural diversity.

In the swing: HKUD Lado performers at Pako Festa.

Two reasons to celebrate IT'S A YEAR of anniversaries for a troupe of Geelong-based Croatian dancers, singers and musicians. The group will perform at Pako Festa's 30th birthday and will celebrate its own 40th anniversary later this year. The group, HKUD Lado Geelong, also hopes to have a CD of some of its popular performances available at the festival. Coordinator Ivan Skratulja said the troupe enjoyed a "monumental" year in 2011, topped by a tour of Croatia. The CD was recorded in Zagreb during the tour, taking in Bosnia and Hercegovina and the Croatian community in Subotica. Established in 1972, HKUD Lado, translating as Croatian Cultural Artistic Group, played an integral role in showcasing and promoting the rich and proud Croatian culture and heritage through music, song and dance. The group has more than 100 active singers, dancers and musicians. "Our performances are

Back then: The 1981 HKUD Lado line-up. widely recognised as being at the highest standard because we practise twice a week," Ivan said. "We are trying to keep the younger generation interested in the traditional culture and history of Croatia." Ivan said the group had recently performed in concerts at St Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Canberra and at St Mary's Basilica in Geelong. "We visit a lot of Croatian communities and clubs around

Australia because they love the traditional songs and dances." Ivan said the group performed songs and dances from specific regions, each required its own musical instruments and special costumes. "We do it all on a voluntary basis, and we really appreciate the support of all our sponsors and the Geelong Croatian Community Centre in Corio." Ivan said members ranged in age from seven to "seasoned performers".

Journeys of their lifetimes on film AN HISTORIC film project has gathered and archived the personal stories of people from a range of ethnic communities. The film offers an insight into personal journeys, memories, family and culture. Diversitat Arts and Events Unit and Geelong Media Education Centre worked with 20 community representatives for the project, entitled Tell Their Story. The film allowed individuals to rediscover their past and archive important messages to share with families and friends. For the broader community, the film is an important education tool to help raise awareness of migrant and refugee experiences. The project aims to break down racial barriers, build social cohesion,

LEAVES IN YOUR GUTTERS? Protect your home against fire and flooding ® C Install Allclear Leafguard made from Colorbond Steel There is a Colorbond® product on the market AllClear Leafguard that can save you all the hassles regarding leaves blocking your gutters and creating a fire hazard.

It is for this reason that the AllClear Leafguard can safely give you an amazing 20 year warranty. AllClear Leafguard is secured under your tile or iron roof and to the front of your guttering.

AllClear Leafguard made from Colorbond® steel has many benefits, including protecting and prolonging the life of your gutters.

When the Leafguard is in place it cannot be seen from the ground, so it does not ruin the appearance of your roof.

Gone are the days of spending hours of your valuable weekend time up on a ladder cleaning your gutters by hand. AllClear Leafguard will do the job for you. By keeping your gutters clear of leaves, it will stop any overflowing which causes water damage to your home and will ensure gutters last years longer. AllClear Leafguard was developed by Ron Lienert after he spent 20 years in the home improvement business, including many years using other leafguard products. “I saw a need for a good Leafguard and was able to evolve a successful formula,” Ron Lienert said. The problem of bushfires is always upon us and there is a pressing need for home owners to protect their properties as best they can in the event of fire. One of the ways home owners can be prepared is by ensuring their gutters are free of leaves and debris that

could easily catch on fire, leading the flames to the body of your home. AllClear Leafguard is made of Colorbond® steel, the same material as your gutters – so it won’t melt in fire or perish and become brittle. It stops embers and burning leaves getting under the roof. When there are no leaves on the roof or in the gutter there is nothing to burn so the embers just sit and then go out. Fire prone areas are being urged to get their gutters fitted with metal leafguards to protect against potential bush fires.

AllClear Leafguard is designed especially for the collection of clean water for rain water tanks. The best way to save our valuable water is to have leaf and debris free gutters to stop the overflow and flooding. The gutters are still able to be flushed and cleaned if necessary to ensure clean and hygienic tank water all year round. The Australian made AllClear Leafguard has proved extremely successful over the years being recognized as the more superior Leafguard on the market in Victoria, NSW, SA, QLD, WA and TAS. AllClear staff have been trained in all aspects of leaf and gutter problems to help bring this amazing product to you. We are available to give obligation free quotes and good advice by calling AllClear Leafguard & Gutter on freecall 1800 426 607.

For the months of February and March diners can bring a friend to dine for free on Monday and Tuesday for lunch only.

Whether patrons prefer a skinny soy latte, a full cream two sugar cappuccino or a simple flat white, the staff at the Wool Exchange will brew them up for free. The restaurant’s affordable menu also caters for diners seeking a more substantial hit. The breakfast menu offers morning favourites including cinnamon French toast with maple syrup or eggs Benedict, both under $15. Hungry diners can also order a Woolly Big Breakfast with bacon, two eggs, sticky Swiss brown mushrooms, spinach and tomato chutney. Diners seeking a lunchtime experience can order from a menu including free-range pork belly, calamari and chorizo salad and potato gnocchi with beetroot, all for less than $17. Cakes, pastries, slices and biscuits also adorn the open kitchen, which abuts split-level dining. The Wool Exchange is fully licensed and also available for functions.

Tradition lives with St John’s ifty years ago, on the February 6, 1962, St John’s Lutheran School opened its doors for the first time. The school launched in a former Geelong Grammar site, Bostock House, on the corner of Aberdeen and Pakington Sts, Newtown. Lutheran education had been available at Grovedale in the 1850s but the opening of St John’s offered an exciting step for Lutherans and families in the Geelong community. Since the opening in Newtown St John’s has educated students from all parts of Geelong, developing an enviable reputation as a school that prepares its students extremely well for their secondary schooling and beyond. St John’s is now part of a larger Lutheran education picture in Geelong that encompasses two kindergartens at St John’s and St Paul’s in Grovedale as well as a new and developing Geelong Lutheran College at Armstrong Creek, offering education from P-10 in 2012 and to year 12 by 2014. The Geelong schools and kindergartens are part of Lutheran Education Australia, which has 173 years of education history and experience in various locations across Australia.

St John’s students enjoy a tradition of excellence in Lutheran education. Families can take the opportunity to be part of this wonderful, innovative and vibrant tradition. Children can be enroled now to benefit from 50 years of education excellence at St John’s, informed by 173 years of educational tradition in Lutheran education in Australia.

Sacred lessons for local girls eachers at Sacred Heart College have developed two innovative programs to help students in years seven and eight to chart the difficult years of early adolescence. Deputy principal Peter Morgan says teenage years can be “a very challenging time” for families. “The programs we’ve developed at the college encourage positive thinking and self-talk to promote resilience and perseverance. “Our aim is empower our girls for the journey through adolescence. While this approach is central to programs across the whole school, unique approaches to teaching and learning are being developed for students in the first two years at the school.” Year seven’s new EPIC program is about to kick off. Standing for Engage, Protect, Imagine Create, the pilot program aims to provide a more-engaging experience for girls in their first year in secondary school while protecting their naturally enquiring minds. Year eight’s SOA=R program – Strength, Optimism, Adversity = Resilience – is an empowering, full-time, nine week program challenging students to become

The program replaces traditional lessons, with students taking part in a variety of activities to encourage them to be responsible and accountable for themselves and their learning. “Each girl receives a SOA=R Passport, which is stamped once they can demonstrate they’ve achieved certain levels and competencies,” Mr Morgan explains. “The stamping of the passport

signals the completion of units, or bytes, and is a true yes-moment for students. “Growing students’ resilience, using positive thinking strategies and language in a caring and supportive community makes Sacred Heart College an outstanding school.

ouch Up Guys knows that customers don’t have the time to drive around looking for quality bumper repairs. So the Touch Up Guys go to customers’ homes or workplaces to provide on-the-spot service and repairs. Anyone selling their car or just keen to keep it in great condition can benefit from calling the Touch Up Guys. Whether the kids have borrowed the family car and left a nice mark on the bumper or for any other damage, the guys can help with their services to renew the appearance of customers’ vehicles. Average repair time is between one and three hours, with most basic repairs costing less than the usual insurance excess. Customers also have the confidence of a set price before the work starts, meaning no nasty surprises at the end of the job. Established 1991 with more than 100 vans Australia wide, the Touch Up Guys has been operating in Geelong for 15 years. The guys specialise in high quality repairs, using quality two-pac paint. The mobile service can make and match more than 55,000 automotive colours on site. EFTPOS facilities for Visa, MasterCard and debit cards are available for customers’ convenience. Touch Up Guys services include: • repair and re-spraying bumpers, mirrors, mag wheels, door and body moulds; • restoring sun affected, yellowed, headlights; • cut and polish; and • repairs to minor scratches and stone chips to tidy up major panels. Touch Up Guys can also fit reversing sensors, which help prevent minor accidents and even tragedies when children are unseen behind vehicles. For more information or to arrange a no-obligation quote phone the Touch Up Guys’ Ron on 0410 622 629 or Peter on 0414 852 477 or visit www.touchupguys.com.au.

reakwater Marine is Geelong’s Yamaha and Honda outboard motor specialist. Owner Wayne Gibbons works hard to keep every boat in top shape. Unlike its competitors, Breakwater Marine works on outboard motors of any brand or age. Wayne recommends annual motor servicing but says many owners either neglect their engines or leave bookings to the last minute. “If you let an engine corrode in this harsh marine environment it will only cost more the longer you leave it,” he advises. Wayne says keeping boat engines in top shape is a matter of safety. “When a boat breaks down you can’t get out of it and walk home, like a car. An unsafe engine puts your life at risk, especially if the weather turns nasty.” After more than 12 years in the industry, Wayne has seen many corroded marine engines. He previously worked at some of Geelong’s leading boating businesses, specialising in Yamaha and Honda before starting Breakwater Marine two years ago. Breakwater Marine is often booked two weeks in advance in summer months. “Now’s the time of year when people are using their boats,” Wayne says. He encourages boat owners to phone with bookings as soon as possible before the waiting list grows any further. Breakwater Marine also offers a pre-purchase inspection service for boats and trailers. “Some people buy old motors that haven’t been serviced for a long time and run into trouble because they’re all corroded. They think they’re getting a bargain but they’re not,” Wayne warns. Breakwater Marine is at 12 Wattle Park Ave, Moolap, phone 5248 8480 or email breakwatermarine@hotmail.com.

sport Geelong’s streak on the line GEELONG Cricket Club will need to be at its best to continue its amazing winning streak tomorrow. The Cats batted first last week against St Kilda to compile 238. While the score was slightly below par, the most disappointing factor would have been the fact Geelong faced only 59 overs. This allowed the Saints a valuable chance to begin their run chase early, an opportunity they took with glee to finish day one just 66 runs shy of a firstinnings victory. Geelong managed to claim five wickets in that time to at least gain a chance of winning. Jeremy Hart was the only multiple wicket taker. He will need to continue his good run of form if Geelong is any chance of winning. In Geelong Cricket Association, the important match between Geelong West and Newtown & Chilwell looks like favouring the Rams thanks to a fine century by Sam Loftus.

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE The veteran all-rounder opened the batting with Mike Chapple, the pair putting on 14 before Chapple was run out on 58. From there Loftus continued on to a welldeserved ton, eventually dismissed for 104 when Ben Neville had him caught. Due to the inclement weather, stumps were pulled after only 60 overs, with West on 2/196.

West will look to push toward the 250 mark early tomorrow before the Two Blues have a chance to chase down whatever target is set. If they can pull off a gutsy win their destiny will remain in their own hands but if they fail any number of teams will gladly take their place in the top six. In division two, Newcomb & District appears to have let its chance to finalise the top six slip through its fingers after being dismissed for only 120 by Waurn Ponds at Grinter Reserve last week. While conditions for batting weren’t ideal, the stakes were high and the Dinosaurs will be disappointed with their efforts. For Waurn Ponds, only three bowlers were required. Ranjodh Singh led the way with 4/23, while Casey Lang snared 3/46 and Mehul Naik took 2/41. The first hour will be the key this weekend. If

Newcomb & District can snag a couple of early wickets it will be right in it but a solid start to the Eagles should see them win. The division three match between Bannockburn and Modewarre appears to be evenly poised. The Tigers batted first last week and got off to a bright start with a 42-run opening stand, thanks mainly to Michael Allen’s 40. At 3/124 the match may have been slipping away for Modewarre but the introduction of Scott Hovey proved a masterstroke. The experienced bowler changed the game, taking 5/28 from 11 overs. The Tigers’ tail failed to wag, with the batsmen eventually dismissed for 167. Modewarre had to face five overs to complete day one, doing so with a minimum of fuss in wiping seven runs off the defecit for no loss. Bannockburn has everything to play for but it’s hard to see it defending 167 tomorrow.

Anglers rise to the challenges with rare captures in river and bay On the bite BRIAN LONG THE PAST week presented challenging conditions but anglers prepared to brave the elements recorded some exceptional and rare captures. Ben Turnock topped the week with a magnificent yellowbelly from the Barwon River. Captures of this species are uncommon locally, with Ben’s fish the fourth yellowbelly I have seen in the past year. Ben released the fish after a few photos so someone else might have bragging rights on this native species from the Barwon. Any number of redfin were available upstream from the Ceres Bridge. Most were small, with vibe lures clearly best on the fish holding up in the deeper sections of the river. Last weekend’s deluge flushed a huge volume of water flow down the Barwon. With more water still to come down from the Otways the fishing should improve vastly from Buckley Falls all the way, hopefully, to the estuary at Barwon Heads. Many anglers travelled to Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree to escape unfavourable conditions, catching plenty of trout around 1kg. Bait anglers needed only Powerbait, worthwhile lures included small Celtas or shallow-running bibbed types and best flies where nymphs and mudeye patterns. The surprise packet was Lake Elingamite, near Cobden, where redfin to 1.4kg and trout to better than 2.3kg were taken on small bibbed lures such as Atomic shads. Wurdee Boluc Reservoir was quiet but fish were still caught, mainly small redfin. A few fish of almost 1.5kg were taken as well as some 2kg, with lures out-fishing bait.

Red and yellow: Brenton Hodges with a snapper taken on soft plastics in Corio Bay’s outer harbour, left, and Ben Turnock’s yellowbelly from the Barwon River in Geelong. Paul Geoffrey fished Geelong’s waterfront with Turtleback worm soft plastics in the Pumpkin Green colour for a bag of fish included snapper, flathead, pike and a mulloway of 66cm. Daniel O’Donnell also fished the waterfront for a catch of snapper and flathead. Daniel reported the action improving as the tide started running off from high. Garry Jennings tried the rock ledge near the silos pier, catching plenty of garfish after spreading a berley mix. Garry caught all his fish on silverfish suspended

below a quill float. Snapper were taken from the Stingaree Bay spoil grounds, although anglers had to contend with many small fish. Patient anglers took snapper to better than 2kg, with the eastern edge of the spoil best. Norm Shaw found plenty of garfish between Alcoa Pier and the sandbar. Berley brought the fish to the boat, with Norm also caching half a dozen salmon to 1.2 kg as a shoal enjoyed the trail for over 30 minutes. Soft plastics anglers had mixed results in the

outer-harbour. Small snapper dominated, with a few fish to 2kg caught. Larger lures such as jerk baits and minnows worked well but anglers casting lipless crankbaits such as Jackal TN60s enjoyed outstanding results. Paul Kramer caught at 4.7kg fish on this lure, one of four he caught better than 2kg. Renowned angler and writer Brenton Hodges continued harassing the fish in the outer-harbour for some outstanding success. In most sessions he has landed snapper better than 3kg along and plenty of fish to 50cm. Brenton also reported finding some great shoals of salmon to more than 50cm. Whiting reports were consistent. Most fish taken west of Clifton Springs were around 33cm but others from St Leonards to Queenscliff were closer to 38cm. Frank De Bern nailed one of the best bags of whiting I have seen for some time. Fishing close in to Edwards Point, Frank’s bag limit comprised all but one fish over 40cm. Swan Bay was virtually unfishable last weekend but improved as the week progressed, with the flathead beginning to fire. Greg Welsh landed three over 2kg each on bluebait suspended just off the bottom with a float. Perry St John fished the protected area in the cut at Queenscliff for trevally. Most were around 800g and a couple were close to 1.5kg but lost when the hooks pulled while trying to lift the fish onto the pier. Salmon remained a viable option in The Rip area, with surface action usually giving away their location. Kingfish also become a more common sight in the area busting up the surface while feeding. Fish over 15kg have been caught but sizes have varied dramatically, with many closer to just 2kg. This weekend’s tides should be perfect for snapper on plastics around the outer edge of the Leopold spoil grounds. Bait anglers should try Wilson Spit on the south side of the channel. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Ave, Manifold Heights.
