â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Give us our tax backâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY MICHELLE HERBISON FEDERAL Government should use carbon tax revenue from Geelong to fund local infrastructure projects, according to Urban Development Institute of Australia. UDIA executive director Tony de Domenico said the Government should spend carbon tax funds on projects to reduce carbon emissions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Should any companies in Geelong like Shell, Ford and other big companies be paying the

carbon tax, perhaps the amount theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting into the Federal Government ought to be used to spend on infrastructure in Geelong,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then the money is being spent where it is coming from and not dispersed into consolidated revenue.â&#x20AC;?

muters would ease traffic issues, reducing emissions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we spent money attracting more business and employment into Geelong there might be less traffic and it will be more sustainable.â&#x20AC;? Mr de Domenico said the Government should consider building infrastructure to reduce its carbon footprint if the tax was intended to reduce carbon emissions.

Call to reinvest carbon price revenue in city â&#x20AC;&#x153;The carbon tax is an additional tax that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there last year. If the Government wants to cut costs it can do that elsewhere but then it should spend the new taxes on specific programs.â&#x20AC;? Federal Labor Member for Corio Richard Marles said carbon tax revenue was â&#x20AC;&#x153;already being redirectedâ&#x20AC;? to households, business and investment in clean energy. This week Alcoaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point Henry

aluminium smelter received $69 million in free permits, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Geelong community is also in a position to make the most of funding opportunities from the $10 Clean Energy Finance Corporation and $3.2 billion Australia Renewable Energy Agency.â&#x20AC;? Liberal Western Victoria Senator Michael Ronaldson said the Coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;direct action

planâ&#x20AC;? would provide incentives for people to reduce emissions rather than impose a tax. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The coalition wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to redirect money collected from a carbon tax because we will abolish the toxic carbon tax. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will purchase abatement at the lowest price such as carbon farming, cleaning up power stations and capturing landfill gas. As an example, instead of taxing council tips we will provide incentives for councils to capture the methane from landfills.â&#x20AC;?

RETRO has become the latest fashion statement in Geelong, according to the region’s new lifestyle magazine. The spring edition of Geelong Coast (GC) features three local women at the trend’s cutting edge, including Carmel Reid. “My home is full of retro and vintage pieces. Having this stuff around is like being a kid again,” she told GC. “It reflects a much calmer time and happiness for my husband and I. It was such a simple, beautiful time.” With 92 glossy pages of local stories and photography, the second edition of GC is chock full of colourful people, places and products. Feature story subjects include Catriona Rowntree’s family farming life at Lara, on and off-screen couple Paul Grace and Sarah Moore and the day royalty had a punt at the Geelong Cup.

Seaman’s suicide bid ‘tip of iceberg’

Hell on the water BY NOEL MURPHY SUICIDE bids, beatings and bullying, unpaid wages, food and safety cuts are commonplace among overseas shipping crews visiting Geelong, according to a union official. International Transport Workers Federation’s Matt Purcell told the Independent an attempted suicide in which a Filippino crew member was hospitalised after slashing his wrists late last month was just one in a string of abusive incidents. The K-Coral bulk carrier crew member, repatriated to Manila after three days in hospital, was allegedly subjected to beatings and harassment, Mr

Purcell said. Other Filippino crew left the ship when it reached Newcastle after refusing to work, leaving the K-Coral stranded for several days. “He slit his wrists at Geelong and was taken off the vessel,” Mr Purcell said. “It would have been like a hell ship, the whole aggressive approach. “It’s just lucky the ship was coming into port when it happened. Mr Purcell said a federation investigation found “a few problems on board”. “Our Geelong officer, Kevin O’Leary, visited and there were

a few pay issues as well that had to be rectified.” Mr Purcell said K-Coral crew members wrote to the federation, saying they were unprepared to continue working on the ship. The federation secured an indemnity for them after the ship left Newcastle and safeguarded their redeployment within the Korean company, he said. Mr Purcell said the K-Coral incident was one of a number to have involved Geelong recently. “We recently had a captain removed from another ship who had been kicking and bashing crew. We finally got rid of him in New Zealand.

Mr Purcell said the federation had detected underpayments of $800,000 among international crews in the past year. Three suspicious deaths among international crews in Australian waters in recent months were under investigation, he said. Federation coordinator Dean summer said last week that three deaths in such a short time as “not natural”. “These companies are making unprecedented profits and seafarers are suffering unprecedented casualties.” * Anyone with emotional issues can phone Lifeline on 131 114.

11 ‘outsiders’ running for council in Geelong

VEC probing letter to Barwon Heads voters BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN AN UNATTRIBUTED and unathorised election campaign letter mailed to 1500 Barwon Heads voters is under Victorian Electoral Commission investigation. The Independent understands the letter, signed “concerned residents of Barwon Heads”, is critical of incumbent Buckley councillor Andy Richards. Commission returning officer Eeon Macaulay said his office had investigated the letter and referred it to the VEC and Department of Local

Government. The office had investigated the letter “as far as the sources are concerned”, Mr Macaulay said. “We’re satisfied that no VEC resources were used and there was no misuse of electoral resources given to candidates.” City of Greater Geelong gives candidates a CD of the municipal electoral roll as part of a package of election material. But they must provide a signed undertaking not to misuse the information. Cr Richards said the dirty tricks campaign was no surprise.

Pet patrol A NEW animal registration and patrol officer is on the beat in City of Greater Geelong to “promote and encourage” pet registrations, council has announced. Chief executive officer Stephen Griffin said doorknocks and phone calls were underway to “remind” owners of registration obligations, with council to issue fines of $282 for unregistered pets.

Getting dirty A CAMPAIGN is encouraging parents to let young children enjoy “increased outdoor activity with reduced direct adult supervision”. The region’s councils and health and community organisations have joined the international Dirt Doesn’t Hurt campaign to extend the outdoor experiences of children aged to eight.

Steiglitz life A TINY TOWN on Geelong’s doorstep will celebrate its gold rush roots with a community festival on Sunday. Parks Victoria ranger-in-charge Peter Box said residents would dress in costume for the Back to Steiglitz Festival to bring the town’s history back to life.

Knee pain

Only vote: Brownbill Ward candidate Michelle Heagney.

‘Browned off’ in Brownbill BY NOEL MURPHY ONLY ONE of six candidates battling for Geelong’s central city ward can vote for themself. But Michelle Heagney this week cried foul after rival Angelo Kakours’s letter-drop campaign labelling her ‘Not Local’. Ms Heagney, who lives outside City of Greater Geelong at Sutherlands Creek but owns a property in Brownbill Ward, reported Mr Kakouros to Victorian Electoral Commission for singling her out ahead of other candidates, who all also lived elsewhere. Mr Kakouros also owns property within Brownbill but only Heagney can vote in the ward because she lives outside the City. Mr Kakouros is obliged to vote in the ward where he lives. Both Liberal party members claimed long community affiliations with central Geelong and argued the other was trying to trick ratepayers. “The problem with just labelling me as not local is this statement applies to all candidates for Brownbill ward and, in fact, I am the only candidate on the electoral roll who is eligible to vote in Brownbill ward,” Ms Heagney said.

“I lived in Drumcondra in 2005 to 2010 and still own that property. “I spend my day living in or close top Brownbill ward. Our family doctor is in East Geelong, I buy my groceries from the Safeway at Pakington Strand, Geelong West, support other retailers and cafes within Brownbill ward and my children attend daycare at Ariston.” Ms Heagney claimed ratepayers were “smart enough to realise’’ that Mr Kakouros only wanted to be in a position of power after previous unsuccessful bids for council and for the Liberal party in federal and state elections. Mr Kakouros defended his letter-drop, saying Ms Heagney was using a loophole that allowed her to vote in Brownbill. She would live within the City if she was serious about serving as a councillor, he said. “It might appear I’m singling her out but, by her own admission, she doesn’t live in the City of Greater Geelong. She’s treating the ratepayers as fools. “Living in a different ward is very different to living outside the city. She can dress it up however she likes but at the end of day she does not live in the City of Greater Geelong and that’s a fact.”

GEELONG’S “socially disadvantaged” men are less likely to have knee replacement’s than their betteroff counterparts, according to new research. Deakin University’s Dr Sharon Brennan said the finding suggested that disadvantaged men were suffering joint pain unnecessarily, given that Australia’s public health system was “relatively accessible”.

AN “EXTREMELY WORRYING” shortfall in vaccinations is putting young Geelong girls at risk cervical cancer later in life, according to Barwon Health. Immunisations acting clinical manager Caroline Poynder said figures showing less than three quarters of 12-to-13-year-olds finished human papillomavirus immunisation courses suggested the message “isn’t getting through to girls and their parents”.

lor Ron Nelson labelled opponent Bruce Lindsay “not local” on an election flyer. “I’m a big believer in representing the area where you live,” Mr Nelson said. “It is imperative that people stand for where they live and be upfront and honest about it. “I understand candidates don’t have to live in their ward but if it was me voting and I saw that people weren’t local I would vote for the local.” Mr Lindsay said candidates “casting those aspersions” needed “something more serious to talk about”. “What people want is a good councillor who advocates and is approachable.” Beangala candidate Warren Smith said he decided to stand in the ward despite living in Buckley because he could make a difference. “The voters of Beangala can expect 110 per cent out of me,” Mr Smith said. “Labelling a candidate as not a local is just a tactic.” Corio candidate Sue Perron said she chose the ward carefully after working in its health centre for 10 years. “I developed a connection with the people there and respect their strength.” Buckley candidate Katherine Oliver said she chose the ward because it offered the best opportunity for her to contribute positively on council. The remaining candidates unable to vote in the wards included Greg McDonald, Margrette Lewis, Renae Otmar and Gail Cook in Brownbill.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN TEN WARD candidates and one mayoral candidate in City of Greater Geelong elections are unable to vote for themselves, an Independent investigation has revealed. Nine live outside their nominated ward and two beyond the municipality’s boundaries. The Independent checked candidates’ Australian Electoral Roll addresses against their nominated wards after Angelo Kakouros and Michelle Heagney highlighted that neither lived in Brownbill Ward. Victorian Electoral Commission rules state candidates can run in the ward of their choice as long as they are either residents or property owners in the municipality. However, candidates receive ballot packs only for the ward recorded on the electoral roll as their main address. Ms Heagney and mayoral candidate Ron Watt live outside the City but are eligible as property owners. Mr Watt said he did not consider his latest address a “huge issue” after living in Geelong for 15 years. “If I become mayor I’d like to ensure ward councillors are seen in their ward regularly and have contact with electorate.” City chief executive officer Stephen Griffin said anyone living outside the municipality qualified for a vote in the ward in which their property was situated. “This vote is attached to the property with the highest capital improved value,” he said.

Drysdale death ‘hits kids hard’, says gran items for elderly people who he met while working on site. He had also recently installed a football club trophy cabinet at Drysdale RSL, she said. Mr Van Elst lived in Drysdale all his life, attending Geelong High School, Drysdale Primary School and a Clifton Springs kindergarten. “He was a good basketballer and a very talented golfer,” Ms Davis said. “He had just rejoined at St Leonards golf club and had formed a team to play.

“He loved tinkering with cars, computers and phones. If anything went wrong, we’d call on Jussy. “He was the one who fixed up Nan’s computer.” Bellarine Police Sergeant Darryl Briody said officers believed speed and wet conditions contributed to Mr Van Elst’s losing control over his car, which slammed into a tree at about 6.25am. A coroner’s report was due after the Independent went to press.

Crash man shot in head - police

KAKOUROS

BY NOEL MURPHY A 53-YEAR-OLD Meredith man was critically injured with a gunshot wound to the head when found in a crashed car on Geelong’s ring road early Tuesday, according to police. Investigators believed the man was travelling inbound on the ring road when he lost control of the vehicle and collided with a guard rail around 1km south of the Hamilton Hwy exit. An ambulance took the man to Geelong Hospital before he was airlifted to The Alfred in Melbourne. Police located a firearm lodged between the front passenger seat and console during a search of the crashed vehicle. Police established that the man received a gunshot wound to the head. They were still trying to ascertain how he suffered the injury when the Independent went to press on Wednesday. Police said they were not searching for anyone in relation to the shooting.

Footballers ‘face charge upgrades TWO GEELONG footballers face a gruelling wait and a possible upgrade in assault charges following an incident in Adelaide that left a man on life support. Inverleigh Football Club’s Bradley John Nelson, 23, and Rhys Alan Millard, 23, were bailed in Adelaide Magistrates’ Court this week on charges of aggravated assault causing harm. A spokesperson for South Australia Police said the Director of Public Prosecutions would consider upgrading charges against the two men. Mr Millard and Mr Nelson were on an end-ofseason football trip with their club when they were allegedly involved in a fight with 28-year-old Clint Hislop, of Glenelg. Magistrate Bob Harrap bailed the pair to reappear in Adelaide in December. The court heard charges could be upgraded. Police yesterday said Mr Hislop’s condition remained “critical” on Wednesday before the Independent went to press.

Mark builds a better Mousetrap BY NOEL MURPHY WHAT HAPPENS in the shed usually stays in the shed but occasionally something surprising emerges from that male bastion. Geelong West’s Mark Wardle has fashioned a power of wooden off-cuts into what looks like a better mousetrap. As in Mousetrap the game. In fact, his highly sophisticated contraption rattles, clunks, spins and turns like nothing seen before. The Marble Steps, as Wardle has dubbed his sculpture cum folly, is proof positive of what can be achieved with little more tools than a bandsaw, a disc

sander and ingenuity. “It started out as a toy when the kids were little but then grew into something of an obsession,” Mr Wardle laughed. “It’s got about 50 species of timber all from scraps – chipboard, ply, merbau, Huon pine, hardwood, cherry, bits of mahogany, whatever I could find.” The metre-cube-sized wooden structure is jamb-packed with dowel, spindles, channels, spirals, switches, even wobbling birds reminiscent of Mr Wardle’s childhood toys. Marbles negotiating Escher-

inspired tracks somehow manage to not just click and clunk but hum, buzz and even assume melodic tones as they bounce across xylophonic timbers. Mr Wardle said he exhibited The Marble Steps from time to time but it was now gathering more dust and insects than he cared to think about. And with summer looming he was unlikely to make it public again for a while because humidity and heat can play havoc with its precision machinations. The contraption catch, however, be seen in action on YouTube by keying The Marble Steps.

'ADVERTISEMENT'

Skimmer ‘set for February’ BY MICHELLE HERBISON AN AUSTRALIAN-FIRST seaskimming passenger service will launch in Geelong by February, according to its operator. Chief Executive Officer of Seabus Barry Miller said recent cold weather preventing fibreglassing had delayed the building of the revolutionary commuter and tourist vessel beyond its initial Christmas target. The Independent reported in June that Seabus was building an eight-passenger “wing-in-groundeffect” craft at a secret factory in the city. The vessel would “skim” two metres above the surface of Corio and Port Phillip bays, taking passengers from Limeburner’s Point to Port Melbourne’s Beacon Cove in 25 minutes for $70 return.

Mr Miller said the 14-metrelong Seabus, with a wingspan of 12 metres, was a boat rather than an aeroplane and different to a hovercraft. One craft would be ready to operate by February and the building of a second would commence in mid-January, he said. Mr Miller would soon seek professional fibre-glassers to build numerous vessels. “It will take six to seven weeks to make each craft with six to seven staff,” he said. Mr Miller also planned to build a 20-seat Seabus next year. Geelong lawyer Andrew Senia said he had invested in the “inspirational” project because it had “potential to revolutionise water transport” in the bay and boost Geelong’s economy. “Imagine skimming over the

bay in comfort to Melbourne in approximately 25 minutes without having to wait at a train station or experience the sort of traffic chaos Melbourne recently had,” Mr Senia said. “Eventually Port Phillip Bay will be crisscrossed with services being expanded to new waterfront destinations, much to the relief of commuters and tourists.” Mr Senia said the Seabus project was generating jobs in Geelong because its manufacturing and operations were based in the city. He called on the Victorian Government, City of Greater Geelong and private sponsors to support the project. “Community support is now needed… the benefits to all Victorians are obvious.”

Fund food before cars, urges Costa BY NOEL MURPHY AVALON Airport’s future as an international food freight centre needs greater government support to the vegetable-growing sector, says produce king Frank Costa. The Geelong businessman said assistance to the fresh food industry was even more important than to car manufacturers to keep prices down, encourage exports and jobs and stave off a reliance of cheap overseas food. His comments echoed industry concerns about cuts to research funding and expert assistance, ageing farmers and inadequate young newcomers,

high business costs and produce affordability. “I support training good young people in the horticultural industry to know the latest processes in running farms and to keep up the production of fresh produce so you don’t have to rely on overseas produce,’’ he told the Independent. “Certainly, there are lots of challenges to growing at economic cost levels to give a good healthier product that’s affordable. It’s very, very important. “You need graduates with knowledge and a desire to stay in the industry but governments have to always be prepared to throw some money into it, too.

“If they’re going to throw millions into the car industry, it’s even more important to keep the fresh food industry alive and help encourage fresh produce exports. “Helping cost affordability allows exports and creates employment, especially in rural areas. Government has to look very, very hard at supporting horticulture and agriculture.” Avalon has long been cited as a major future freight hub for clean, green produce from the south-east of Australia to Asia. But Vegetable Growers Association of Victoria fears the industry is at a crossroads. Association executive officer

Tony Imeson this week lashed out at Agriculture Minister Peter Walsh and the Department of Primary Industries over funding and a failure to attract and keep young people in the industry. He criticised a “sharp decline’’ in government cuts to research and development and the departure of many extension officers from the Department of Primary Industries. “Unlike some manufacturing industries, Victorian vegetable growers have not sought financial assistance and have always taken responsibility for growing, marketing and selling their produce,” Mr Imeson said.

“And the team’s doing well, too. All the hard work of the last few years has paid off – the other clubs know we’re up and about, that when they play us they’re in for a tough day.”

Have you got an injury that just keeps coming back? Maybe you need to look at the joints above and below the injury. Looking at the major joints in our body, they alternate between those that stabilise, and those that mobilise. Our knees need to be stabilised, and are placed between two mobilising joints in our hips and feet. Lack of mobility in the feet or hips, can often cause knees problems, with them having to compensate by moving outside their normal range. Similarly a lower back problem is often due to lack of mobility in the hips, with the back having to do the movement instead. So putting yourself under the watchful eye a trainer could see you back at your best in no time. Got to be happy with that!

BY NOEL MURPHY GEELONG rugby mainstay Richard Haugh is the kind of community fixture who typifies the best sport has to offer a community. Player, coach, selector, manager, social secretary, fundraiser with the Geelong Rams Rugby Club – he’s been everything from an on-field premiership star to bus driver. It’s why Mr Haugh won Victorian Rugby Union’s volunteer of the year award this year. He’s now in the running for national rugby volunteer of the year. “I’ve done just everything in the club,” he laughed. “I very much love the sport. I’ve been brought up with sport and both my eight-year-old kids are playing the sport. “Volunteering in community is very important. If you don’t have volunteers in clubs and sports you don’t survive.’’ Victorian Rugby Union’s Charlie Bamford described Mr Haugh as “a tremendous asset” for his club and the sport in general. He was a worthy winner of the Victorian award, Mr Bamford said. Mr Haugh believed his hard work was reaping dividends on and off the field. Junior numbers had all but doubled in the past year, which he put down to a visit to Geelong by Melbourne Rebels as much as local word of mouth. “It’s pleasing to see those kids come through and play senior rugby. It’s tough game but I put it this way: rugby has a position for

non-transmitting mosquitoes could quickly replace infected mozzies. Dr Paradkar said the research was becoming relevant to the region, with Dengue-carrying mosquitoes moving south toward Victoria due to climate change. “We are very pleased with the discovery but it will be at least five years before we will be able to apply it more practically.” The discovery was the first demonstration of the existence of an immunity mechanism in mosquitoes or any other invertebrate. CSIRO will use the new knowledge to explore the use of vago for the control of viruses in aquaculture species including prawns and abalone. The team’s finding was published online in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA.

Dengue infects 50 to 100 million people and results in about 22,000 deaths annually around the world. “We found that when mosquitoes get infected their cells sense the virus, stimulating a protein called vago,” Dr Paradkar said. “The secreted vago then signals an anti-viral defensive response to limit the infection. “Once we understand the dynamics between the virus and the mosquito we can manipulate the protein to use as a control measure. “Until now very little was known about the defensive antiviral response of insects. “This can potentially lead to improved vaccines and other control measures.” Dr Paradkar said scientists hoped to develop a genetic solution to mosquito-transmitted viruses. Their short life-cycle meant

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A GEELONG breakthrough in preventing mosquito-borne viruses could save thousands of lives worldwide. CSIRO Australian Animal Health Laboratory genomic scientist Dr Prasad Paradkar said the discovery was an early step to eliminating global viruses such as Dengue and West Nile fevers and Japanese encephalitis. The Geelong facility, among world leader’s in its research field, discovered that mosquitos had a natural defence against the viruses. The team would now investigate how to use that defence to reduce or eliminate mosquito transmission of the viruses, Dr Prasad said. “The basic objective is to increase mosquito resistance against transmitting viruses. This has massive world health implications.”

Deakin founder ‘inspiration’ BY NOEL MURPHY DEAKIN University’s founding vice-chancellor, Professor Fred Jevons, has died in Melbourne after a long battle with illness. He was aged in his 80s. The ground-breaking educator set up Deakin at Waurn Ponds in a controversial breakaway from the former Gordon Institute of Technology in 1977. Geelong historian and author Roy Hay described him as inspirational and a visionary. “Anything that Deakin has done now can be traced back to the way Freddie set things up,” Mr Hay said. “The best of Deakin reflects the kind of ethos Freddie put in place.” Mr Hay, who co-authored the 2002 book Breaking the Mould: Deakin University, the First Twenty Five Years, said many people “didn’t really welcome the way the university was set up”. “But for those who came across, it provided huge opportunities and many people picked those up and ran. On the other hand, others were stymied,” Mr Hay said. “He was an absolute inspiration. It’s not that we didn’t have our battles over all kinds

lebrat

2012

of things but he was a great guy. “He was the making of me in many ways.” Prof Jevons’ tenure at Deakin was cruelled by controversies such as the Briggs affair, in which the university was embarrassed when biochemist Michael Briggs was found to have faked research on the contraceptive pill. Deakin, however, also went on to win two University of the Year awards. The university described Prof Jevons as “a highly respected leader who will be remembered for his gentle and generous nature and genuine support of others”. Prof Jevons was renowned for championing the importance of universities’ pursuit of knowledge. “‘Knowledge is a university’s business. It is, if you like, the commodity in which it trades,’’ he said in his valedictory speech to Deakin. “A university needs to be jealous of the reputation of that knowledge. “If a university does not guard intellectual integrity and excellence, it is failing in the profoundest possible way the community that harbours and nurtures it.’’

Sell port ‘harder’, says MP BY NOEL MURPHY CORIO Bay and Geelong’s port need to be higher on the mayoral agenda as critical to Geelong’s future, according to federal MP Richard Marles. Geelong needed to sell the economic virtues and strategic importance of the port to the region and the state over the next decade, he said. Mr Marles’ comments followed Patrick Stevedores closure of wharf operations at Hastings in the face of State Government plans to ramp up the deepwater port into as multibillion-dollar container port. Labor’s Member for Corio said Victoria’s ports needed to operate on a level playing field but since Geelong’s port was privately-run the city had to sell the transport freight advantages of Corio Bay. “I’ve been saying for a decade it’s a vital part of the future for Geelong and its industry as a transport/logistics hub,” Mr Marles told the Independent. “In the context of the mayoral election, it’s very important to see how they see it. “The port of Geelong is a huge part of our past and a big part of future. It’s really impor-

tant to the future of Geelong.” Mr Marles cited the port’s potential integration with Avalon, the national railway, highway number one and land to Geelong’s north as crucial to the future. “If you look at how ports in other major cities have gone, they tend to move out of the city, like, say, London. There’s every reason to see that playing out in Melbourne. “The port of Geelong is in a very good strategic position but it’s not in an uncompetitive environment. Geelong has to put its best foot forward.” A push in recent years to redevelop a defence armaments base at Point Wilson as a port facility went on the backburner after Canberra rejected claims the facility was surplus to its needs. But a proposal to build Victoria’s second container port nearby, dubbed Bay West, has recently drawn attention amid reports that Victoria’s Department of Transport secretly pitched the plan to the Baillieu Government. The department was reported to believe Bay West was superior to the Government’s preferred Hastings alternative, which faced logistic and environmental problems.

NOTHING HELPS A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP LIKE A SILENT PARTNER! A unique new sleep system offers virtually two beds for the price of one at Forty Winks Geelong. Store owner Leigh Keen said the Silent Partner mattress, developed by Forty Winks, was like sleeping in two separate beds. The heart of the Silent Partners pursuit of uninterrupted sleep is its patented motion deflection barrier, Leigh explained. “This eliminates partner disturbance from side to side using a pocket spring technology”Leigh said. “The pocket springs are independent coils working separately to each other and reducing movement transfer. The support system provides five different zones of variable support where you need it most.” The Silent Partner comes in two ranges, the Florence with 1600 pocket coils and the Tuscany with 700 pocket coils. The ranges each offer three comfort styles: plush, medium or firm. Leigh said the mattresses provided cushioning around the hips and shoulders while reducing pressure on the body. “The Silent Partner conforms to you and reduces tossing and turning for a better nights sleep. There’s nothing else like them and the detailing and finish is superb they look too good to cover up.” The Silent Partner also features pure natural latex, elastic memory foam, cool air technology and premium wool blend materials.

Club’s swimmers ‘making a splash’ Join the club

1049078-KC39-12

JOHN VAN KLAVEREN TIMING is everything and Geelong Swimming Club looks to have timed its race for more young talent perfectly. The weather is turning and thoughts of the pool are swimming to the surface as the club announces a new initiative to entice more youngsters into the water. The club has just completed a successful short-course season at Victorian Age Swimming Championships. Coach John Beckwith said an outstanding team effort was capped with two country records, 15 club records and several medals. “Now we’re looking forward to the long course season and our aim is to have as many swimmers as possible qualify for the Victorian Championships,” John explained. “We also plan to increase on the 13 swimmers we took to the Australian Championships last year.” John said the club was keen to encourage new and younger swimmers to get into the sport. “We’re inviting young swimmers to participate in a local swimming carnival especially for them. “This carnival is for children aged 12 and under and they don’t need to be registered with a swimming club. “All swimmers will receive a certificate for them to record their race times swum on the day.” The club, with a history dating back to

In the swim: Geelong Swimming Club state short-course championships competitors, at top, Fraser Mahony, Molly Parkinson, Aaron Ford, Patrick Bartlett and Lance Ahmling and, at bottom, Zachary Hussain, Charlotte Elsworth, Jessica Loftus and Sharni-Lee Dennis. 1882, hosted Victorian Country Championships in 1994, 2002 and 2011. With more than 150 registered swimmers, John said the club aimed to field one of the largest swimming teams ever for coming major meets. Recent successes were testament to the determination and persistence of the strong group of swimmers and coaches, he said. “The swimmers have been training hard and competing regularly to achieve the goals they set at the start of the season. “These goals have focused on improving both stroke technique and racing technique

at training.” John said the excellent facilities at Leisurelink and Kardinia pool enabled the club to prepare swimmers effectively for major championships. The encouragement carnival will be at Geelong College Aquatic centre on October 21, with entries closing on Monday. A free follow-up come-and-try day will begin 3pm on November 11 at Geelong College. John said more information and entry forms were available on the club web site, geelongswimmingclub.com.au.

letters Vote independent ANY VOTERS in Buckley Ward who are angry about the major political parties influencing the preferential voting system in our local elections, as reported in the Geelong Independent last week, should vote for Margaret Pocock. Alarmingly, Labor candidates were ordered to give their preferences “to any and all other Labor party candidates standing in the same vacancy”. Margaret Pocock is not aligned with any political party and is genuinely independent. Andrew Kumnick South Grovedale Community Action Group

Higher leaning

Candidate priorities

Ex-mayor: Mitchell’s my main man INCUMBENT Mayor John Mitchell should be congratulated for his leadership and visionary thinking in tackling hard issues. My own experience of 20 years in local government, including a term as Geelong’s mayor, was most enjoyable but at times frustrating when tackling hard issues. Cr Mitchell’s experience would have been no different. From what I have observed, he has achieved much and given much of his time to ensuring the vision has been implemented. Cr Mitchell has demonstrated he is a can-do mayor and very Geelong focused. He has vigorously represented Geelong’s interests and has developed an impressive strategic network that has benefited the city and surrounding region significantly.

Incumbent: John Mitchell.

AS A CANDIDATE for Buckley Ward I attended a candidates’ forum at Barwon Heads where incumbent councillor Andy Richards did not rule out the possibility of standing for a state or federal parliament seat during the next council term. It is clear Cr Richards has a track record of seeing City of Greater Geelong as a stepping stone to parliament. Not more than eight months after being elected in 2008 he unsuccessfully stood for ALP pre-selection for the federal seat of Calwell, which encompasses Sunbury, Craigieburn, Tullamarine and Greenvale. One doesn’t need a degree in rocket science to see that Cr Richards is looking to take on either Andrew Katos in South Barwon or Sarah Henderson in Corangamite if she was to be successful at the next federal election. It is clear Cr Richards is a political opportunist aiming for higher office. I, on the other hand, give my absolute commitment to the people of Buckley Ward that if elected I will serve them tirelessly for the full four-year term. I go on record to affirm that I have no other political ambition other than that of councillor for Buckley. I live and work among the ward’s constituents and humbly ask for their support so that over the next four years we can work together to make Buckley Ward and City of Greater Geelong even better places. Mick Alexander Grovedale

which time he sought federal and state funding of $25 million for the new $45 million library and heritage centre. This amenity will deliver significant community benefits for all age groups and facilitate the delivery of quality services. Cr Macdonald’s dedicated involvement for Cheetham has seen infrastructure and improvements throughout the ward, including expenditure of: Leopold, $1.19m; Moolap $800,000; Newcomb, $80,000; Whittington $185,000; Bellarine Rail Trail, $700,000; Pt Henry traffic and landscaping, $145,000; Wallington reserve, $15,000; Clifton Springs skate park, $10,000; Drysdale, $3 million. Therefore, a vote for Cr Macdonald would be a wise investment to ensure future improvements and infrastructure in Cheetham Ward. Ian J Stacey Leopold

In Rod we trust

Truth lives

AS A FORMER councillor for 23 years and a resident of Leopold for 11 I have noted Cr Rod Macdonald’s efforts for Cheetham Ward over the past eight years. Cr Macdonald was also chairman of Geelong Regional Library Corporation for five years, during

STORIES about a subject that I have often wished to see published are thin on the ground, which is my honest opinion about what goes on in party politics. Good on Angelo Kakouras, Margrette Lewis and others who stand for the principles of truth, honesty and integrity.

I have been heartened by recent positive announcements by City Hall, including funding for infrastructure developments, the iconic new library, plans for Avalon Airport, the nearby Heales Rd commercial precinct and proposed residential developments at Lara West, Lovely Banks, Fyansford Green and west of the ring road.

These projects, along with Armstrong Creek and others, will ensure Geelong is extremely well placed for economic and employment sustainability. These positive outcomes don’t just happen. They take careful planning, good leadership and the community working alongside council. Cr Mitchell’s determination has resulted in many community infrastructure projects being completed. His involvement in numerous grass roots community activities demonstrates his ability to cross all levels of the community. As Geelong ratepayer, I am comfortable knowing the City is in good hands. I look forward to the next four years and beyond with much anticipation. Shane Dowling Port Melbourne

No one should have to or be expected to preference anyone else. First past the post would be the fairest way of voting. Are these the only people who are not puppets to others pulling their strings or can the Independent come up with another story of other candidates who live for their own truth? Sandra Camm Highton

Yes we can GEELONG voters, please don’t waste your precious votes. We can be listened to. We can get rid of G21. We can have good housing, not cramped in-fill. We can have respect for our rights to peaceful enjoyment of our hard-won homes. We can have our money spent on us, not future developments. We can have hard waste collections. We can have genuinely transparent decisions. We can do this together but only if we vote together for a new council. Lee Gladwell Grovedale

GIVEN the columns afforded to mayoral candidates, with a couple of exceptions and within that deficiencies, the lack of policy substance has been pronounced. Like it or lump it, essentially the mayoral poll is a two-horse race. Self-interest groups, money and frantically seeking to find a way to preserve the status quo with nuances, aided and abetted by a preferential poll, comprise the nature of the beast. While it’s encouraging that ward aspirant numbers have increased, incumbents and the former need to speak up now as to where they stand and why they’ve been so tardy in not getting on the front foot earlier on issues including: CBD roof-top accommodation; getting Deakin University up and about within the CBD; acknowledging it will be at least 25 years before Avalon achieves it’s regional windfall; having the character to support a Bellarine Peninsula municipal separation; going into bat for the development of North Geelong Railway Station as the city’s key rail hub; doing something about Simonds Stadium’s all-but-white-elephant status; embracing the rage over TAFE cutbacks; challenging the TAC and RACV on why they haven’t used their clout to seriously seek upgrades to sections of the Great Ocean Road; and putting up a case to combine new public/private partnership moorings, a convention centre and hospitality and retail businesses with a rebuilt Yarra Pier. Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Watch out, committee NEVER mind a watchdog for council (Independent, September 21). After recent damaging allegations of leaking sensitive information to a mayoral candidate, I’m starting a watchdog on Committee for Geelong and its wayward staff. Who’s with me? Kevin V Russell Geelong

The stunning Freedom 195 is the ultimate contemporary design, showcasing an elaborate and highly-detailed coastal façade, a striking internal brick feature wall and an abundance of space, light and modern luxury inside.

Our ‘suburb of the future’ set for community e are delighted to see the Warralily estate progressing towards its vision of becoming the master planned, sustainability focussed suburb of the future. In just two short years open fields are transforming into a community of new homes and landscaped parklands all set along the rejuvenated Armstrong Creek. The fast pace of new home building is exciting for all involved and a bonus for the local building industry that is poised to enjoy many years of continuous building opportunity. As we move into spring we look forward to seeing Warralily flourish as the thousands of seedlings planted during winter come to life and more new homes join the ninety homes currently under construction. By summer, whole neighbourhoods will be moving in with parkland and barbecue areas ready for these new residents to enjoy in the sun. The new sales office will be open, including the W-Lounge - a place for locals to meet each other over coffee. Community programs will also be organised from the new office to help bring new neighbours together. We will also see Geelong’s largest display village launched at Warralily, providing the very best of new home designs from leading local and metropolitan builders including Metricon, Simonds, Carlisle, Burbank, Hamlan, Boutique, Geelong Homes, Dennis Family and Urban Edge. As the months and years pass Warralily will continue to develop into a networked community of homes, schools, shops and parklands providing the very best of community living. We want Warralily to live up to the expectations of our new residents and the broader Geelong community and this will be our guiding principle every step of the way.

King among builders G King Homes has introduced a new level of luxury living to Warralily. Growing families wanting to live in luxury will find the Inverness 240 is perfect. The four-bedroom-plus study design not only oozes space with its enormous living areas, it’s the ideal home for entertaining and relaxation. The contemporary design makes for a talking point, while entertainers will appreciate the open-plan layout and flawless flow from the entry through to the kitchen, dining and living area and on to the alfresco space. Parents can soak up the romantic atmosphere from their own private alfresco area off the stunning master suite. An expansive dressing room leaves an abundance of space for the shoes and clothes of the lady of the house. The home is also perfect for sporty families, with access from the garage into the laundry to ensure no mess is tracked through the home after a game of football. The large alfresco entertaining area is complete with an outdoor kitchen and pizza oven, making it the perfect area to enjoy warm summer nights with friends. Endless light brightens all areas inside. Anyone seeking a beautiful home that won’t break the budget will be drawn to the Royce. This home provides all the perks of living in an alpha home, complete with a gas log fire and a large alfresco area for entertaining family and friends as well as a stunning kitchen complete with all the appliances for aspiring master chefs. Nestled at the back are three privately zoned bedrooms to keep the noise away from the front of the home. Also located at the rear is a family room in which kids can enjoy playing videos games or the family coming together to watch a movie JG King Home display homes are available for viewing at Warralilly Estate. Phone 5246 4444 for more information.

JG King’s home designs including the Inverness 240, below, have arrived at Warralily.

urbank is thrilled to be penetrating further into Geelong with the opening of four brand new display homes next year at Warralily Estate. The volume builder, started thirty years ago by Eddie Sanfilippo and now headed by son Jarrod, is part of the bigger Burbank Group of 12 subsidiary companies covering land development, plumbing, electrical, storage, finance, aviation, media production, funds management, resorts management and, of course, the home-building arm. Beginning in Altona where its head office is still based, Burbank soon branched out into the surrounding western suburbs. Today Burbank has over 60 display homes across Melbourne and at Leopold as well as an office in Dandenong. The company recently spread its wings interstate, opening an office and displays in Queensland. It will open displays at Warragul next year. Burbank is no stranger to Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula, with a presence in the region for nearly six years. Over this time the company has operated displays at Leopold’s Kensington and Estuary estates and Torquay’s The Quay while building nearly 500 homes in the area. Burbank was recently selected to be part of the Victorian Government’s New Norlane project. Burbank and two other volume builders will work alongside the Government to deliver the majority of 320 new private and public homes at Norlane, revitalising the area with affordable new homes while creating investment opportunities and jobs. Burbank will offer at Warralily three homes from its 7-Star Future Collection and one from its prestigious Ideal Collection. Jarrod Sanfilippo said three out of the four designs would open for the first time, “so we’re excited for it to be in Warralily Estate”.

Stripping at festival

Stripped: Hat Fitz and Cara Robinson play Bellbrae’s Harvester Moon Festival next week.

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN COUNTRY-BLUES duo Hat Fitz and Cara Robinson wanted to “strip” for their latest album, Wiley Ways. Strip back their musical sound, that is. Irish-born Robinson spoke to the Independent about the couple’s “oldtime” music, her romantic beginnings with Fitz, married life on tour and playing at Harvester Moon Festival next week. “We tried to keep our sound as authentic as possible by recording it live,” Robinson asserted. “But you’ve got to be careful when you do that because sometimes you can make it sound like a garage band.” Robinson confessed she was “chuffed” that internationally renowned Geelong musician Jeff Lang produced the album. His studio was the “perfect” venue to do justice to the album, she said. Fitz encouraged Robinson to extend her percussion repertoire to include playing the washboard. “Fitzy threw one at me one day and said ‘get your chops around that’,” Robinson reminisced. She remembered Fitz “wooing” her during her first time visiting Australia. “We’d met earlier and had been talk-

ing over the phone for three months. “I came over to Australia to visit him and he showed me how beautiful Australia was. Robinson joked her husband’s father was a “comedian” for naming him Patrick Fitzpatrick. “That’s why he goes by Hat Fitz – it’s a bit more unique,” she laughed. The pair sometimes “gave each other the s…s”, Robinson admitted, but she still described married life on tour as “absolutely amazing”. “A musician’s life can be pretty lonely because it involves a lot of travelling. “Having him with me, I appreciate it so much.” Fitz and Robinson will play at Bellarine’s Harvester Moon Festival for the first time. Robinson said playing in front of a new audience was always “something to look forward to”. She was aware the pair had a larger European fan base – perhaps due to their Irish heritage – but believed the number of followers was “growing” in Australia. “It’s such a beautiful place here and it’s fantastic to make music here,” Robinson said cheerily. Harvester Moon Festival is on October 19.

Irritating: Oh Mercy’s Alexander Gow likes to pen lyrics that get up listeners’ noses.

Band feels city’s heat BY CHERIE DONNELLAN CREATING fictional characters inspired Oh Mercy frontman Alexander Gow to pen the band’s third album, Deep Heat. Gow joked that the “conservation listener” might think the third track My Man sounded like a “homosexual love song” despite being written from a female viewpoint. “It’s about a woman with an obsession for this man,” Gow clarified. “It’s about the sweet and cruel things she’d do for his attention.” Gow believed the song’s “provocative nature” challenged the band’s pop rock genre. Many contemporary pop songs were failing to inspire listeners to debate the lyrics’ meaning, he contended. “I’m happy to irritate listeners if it means they’ll think about the lyrics and want to respond to them.” Gow said Deep Heat featured “groove-based” melodies. “Drums and bass are so important in this album.”

Gow reminisced about playing Geelong gigs “many, many times” He described the band’s fans in the city as “passionate”. “They get really into it and you can tell it’s exciting for them, which is exciting for us.” Gow confessed he “always wanted to be a singer”. “Watching people on the telly singing and playing guitar” influenced his skill and style. “I never had an option B, so it’s lucky I’m actually okay at it and managed to turn it into a career,” he joked. Gow laughed remembering some of the “awful” lyrics he wrote as a teenager. “I got the bad ones out of the way and started getting good at about 19. “We recorded out first album when I was 20 and I think that was the first time I was happy with where my lyrics were taking. “The rest is history.” Oh Mercy plays Geelong’s Bended Elbow on October 19.

1. Combine the apple, cherries, sugar, lemon juice, kirsch and cinnamon in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Set aside for 2 hours to macerate. Drain. 2. Preheat oven to 180ºC. Lightly brush a baking tray with butter. Place the filo on a clean work surface. Cover with a dry tea towel, then a damp tea towel (this prevents it drying out). Brush 1 filo sheet with melted butter. Top with another filo sheet. Brush with melted butter. Repeat with melted butter and remaining filo. Sprinkle with the almond meal. Place the filling along 1 long side, leaving a 6cm-wide border at each end. Fold in the ends and roll up firmly to enclose. Place, seam-side-down, on the prepared tray. Brush with remaining butter. 3. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden. Dust with icing sugar. Serve with whipped cream. By M Blake of Wandana Heights

New options for Citroen, Renault and Peugeot at Geelong centre eugeot, Renault and Citroen owners have a brand new option for their car servicing needs. Leading dealer alternative service centre Hunter Cuthill is now fully equipped to provide topflight diagnostics for the French marques. The addition of Peugeot, Renault and Citroen complements the complete car care also provided for Jaguar, Mini, BMW and Land Rover. Co-owner Adam Hunter says Hunter Cuthill is the only service centre in Geelong outside of direct dealers to have the software and diagnostic equipment for Peugeot, Renault and Citroen. And European car owners can also book Hunter Cuthill for their Michelin tyre needs. “We can supply and fit Michelin tyres, the tyre which is factory fitted on many European vehicles,” Adam explains. “Our Hawkeye wheel aligning system is approved for Jaguar, Minis, BMW and Land Rover. As the weather begins to warm, Adam advises car owners to start thinking about air-conditioning and cooling systems. “If your air-conditioner has not been serviced in the last four years it’s recommended to have gas and oil levels checked. “Hunter Cuthill provides full air-conditioner services along with cooling system checks for radiators, water pumps and thermostats, avoiding potential issues as the weather warms.” Clients can take advantage of the convenience of online vehicle service bookings at Hunter Cuthill. Adam and co-owner Gordon Cuthill have extended automotive service training on Jaguar and Mini, building on their combined 45 years of experience in BMW and Land Rover. Hunter Cuthill is at 9 Autumn St, Geelong West, phone 5229 4299 or email service@huntercuthill.com.au.

tipped exhausts. Kia’s new 2.4-litre GDI (gasoline direct injection) engine replaces the previous multi-point injection motor and gives the Optima more power – increased by 11.6 per cent, and torque, up by 8.2 per cent. At the same time fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are down. The maker says on regular unleaded in the combined urban/highway cycle it’s 7.9 L/100km with CO2 emissions at 189 g/km. The engine delivers 148 kW of power at 6300 rpm and 250Nm of torque at 4250 rpm. Mated with a sixspeed fully automatic transmission, it runs the Optima from zero to 100km/h in nine seconds. There are high performance dampers, big disc brakes with black callipers and machine finished 18-inch alloy wheels. A reverse parking alarm system is fitted, along with a rear-view camera which projects a 130 degree image onto an LCD display within the interior rear-view mirror. Optima is available in two specification levels, Si and Platinum. Our test car was the Platinum which includes a rear boot-mounted spoiler, LED daytime running lights positioned above fog lamps in the front bumper, LED rear lamps, aerodynamic windscreen wipers, plus larger disc brakes with black callipers and machine finished 18 x 7.5-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels. A three-piece, full-width panoramic glass sunroof is standard, the front section tilting, centre sliding and the rear fixed. An internal roller blind blocks out unwanted sunlight and heat.

48 YEARS CONTINUOUS TRADING IN GEELONG : RACV

1050094-EP41-12

BY ERIC BLAIR he current Kia Optima is the latest work of automotive art from the South Korean company’s German designer, Peter Schreyer. So it goes without saying that the large sedan has the now-familiar ‘Schreyer’ radiator grille with its indented upper and lower horizontal surfaces. Interestingly, the indentations have been repeated in the top edge of the windscreen to create an unusual look unique to this model. Designed at Kia’s studios in Frankfurt, Germany and Irvine, California, the latest Kia Optima is longer, wider and lower (by 45, 25 and 25 millimetres, respectively), than the vehicle it supersedes. The undoubted sleek styling has also improved aerodynamics, the drag co-efficient of Cd 0.29 is down from the 0.32 of the previous Optima, adding performance and fuel economy to the standout appearance. One of the upmarket features is a European style panoramic sunroof and this black glass ties in neatly with the aforementioned chromed arches that frame it at the sides. The company’s mid-size four-door sedan uses chrome aplenty. The radiator grille has traditionally been the foremost factor in car style and on the Optima it carries a shiny chrome border. Standout chrome strips run from the back of the bonnet, up the windscreen pillars, then over the door tops and down to the boot hinges. The door handles are chromium plated and there’s a slash of chrome across a garnish on the front flanks. Finally there are the twin chrome

Bling: Plenty of chrome on the Kia Optima signals a return to the glory days of auto design.

Cool and practical: The BMW 5 Series Touring combines elegance with a neat dash of sportiness.

Beamer wagon BY ERIC BLAIR hen the latest BMW 5 Series was launched in 2010 the main talking point on the lips of BMW enthusiasts was its styling. After dividing opinions with the more adventurous lines of the previous model it returned to a more mainstream design but with an elegance to its shape and a more upmarket look. Combined with the elegance there was also a neat dash of sportiness – and the overall style could never be seen as anything but BMW, with its trademark ‘kidney’ grilles and C-pillar ‘Hoffmeister’ kink. The original sedans were joined by a station wagon variant (called Touring by BMW) in early 2011. While the style was still there BMW also put practicality high on its list of criteria. As with many boutique wagons its potential shortfall is in the reduced length of the roof area due to the need to provide style at the rear. Actual carrying volumes are 1670 litres with all the seats down; 590

litres with all the back seats in use and the backrests in an upright position; and 560 litres with the seat backs at their most comfortable angle. The BMW 520d Touring is powered by the 2.0litre, four-cylinder, turbo-diesel engine that we have admired in several other models in the BMW range. BMW officially rates this new turbo-diesel at 5.3 litres per hundred kilometres on the combined cycle of the fuel test. As well as having 50 per cent more engine than the 520d, the 535i Touring also has a sports automatic transmission, sports steering wheel, 18-inch alloy wheels (17s in the 520d). The 18-inch alloys and low-profile tyres on the 535i Touring give a slightly harder ride than the 17inchers on the 520d, but this only shows up on rougher than average surfaces. Anyone who enjoys driving, likes the prestige of a German car, and needs more luggage space than a normal sedan should look seriously at this new BMW 535i Touring.

sport Bouncing back from the horror

Harbours remain hot for snapper action On the bite BRIAN LONG FANTASTIC snapper captures were enjoyed in both the inner and outer harbours of Corio Bay again over the past week. Luke Hanneysee took son Mason for a day on the bay. Fishing with pilchard and squid, they landed three magnificent snapper, with young Mason not only landed more than dad but also the biggest. Tanner Graham fishing the rocks at North Shore last Saturday night but found the fishing slow at the start. However, his six-hour stint eventually paid off with a snapper of 7.2kg. Shaun Batten fished the rocks on Monday night for a fish of 91cm, estimated at over 8kg. Few anglers seem to know where to fish for snapper on Stingaree Bay’s spoil grounds, so with few boats in the area Paul Stevens dropped his anchor just after dark on the weekend. Ten minutes later a rod buckled with the reel screaming under a 2kg fish before Paul caught another pair of similar size in the next two hours and returned three others. Good numbers of snapper were also taken from the outer-harbour. Clifton Springs returned a few fish but Wilson Spit was better, with Rhys Osborne fishing the southern side for two fish better than 5kg each, while brother Bryce landed a similar size pair a few hundred metres away. Other locations to produce snapper were the quarries, the Nine Foot Bank and the Corvette Hole. Paul Piper chased whiting in close to Point Lillias, taking any number of fish between 30cm and 32cms with pipies. Most of the action began just on dark. Whiting were also taken along the entire peninsula but plenty of boat traffic over the shallows meant the best action was in slightly deeper water, with 5m off St Leonards especially productive. Drifting for flathead returned respectable captures for anglers working soft plastics along the inshore grass beds between Clifton Springs and Leopold. Swimming mullet and jigging grubs were outstanding performers, while the same area also produced some big pike. Large shoals of salmon worked the surface between Alcoa Pier and Hermsley. Casting soft plastics into the bust ups resulted in instant hook ups, with trolling less successful. Petro Hamilton fishing the entrance to Swan Bay after dark for two nice gummy shark around 1m each. They took fresh squid that Petro caught earlier off Bell Reef.

GEELONG Cricket Club got off to a horror start to the premier competition season last weekend when it was dismissed for just 55 – the Cats’ lowest ever First XI score. To be fair to the top order, the pitch was not ideal, with poor weather leaving it favouring the bowlers immensely. Tom Elliott, 13, and Jacob Thorne, 12, were the only batsmen to reach double figures. Four of their counterparts were dismissed without even scoring. With plenty of rain in the air, the Duckworth Lewis method was required to determine Ringwood’s target. When it was worked out that Ringwood needed 40 runs from five overs, Geelong’s bowlers were hard pressed to restrict their opponents, who reached the target with two balls to spare. At the end of the day the result was a bit of a lottery and could easily have gone the other way, so there’s no reason the Cats can’t bounce back tomorrow when they host Fitzroy Doncaster. Despite last week’s cold and wet conditions, all games were completed in Geelong Cricket Association’s division one. Highton and North Geelong both got off to the perfect start with wins over Bell Post Hill and Lara respectively. They now get the chance to stay undefeated when they face off at Osborne Park in the first two-day game of the season. For the Magpies, Andrew Fergusson, 33, and Mitch Troy, 20, top-scored in their total of 128. With the ball, Jack Hughes, 5/18, bowled his team to victory dismissing Lara for 100 after it was cruising at 3/68. Highton’s win was just as impressive when, after being asked to bat first by Bell Post Hill, Ben Dodds stepped up with a fine 110 at the top of the order to help the Heat reach 227 after 40 overs. In reply, Alex Cairns, 54, did his bit for the Panthers but without much help. Jack Caldow was able to wrestle back control for Highton, taking 5/32 as his side claimed a 58-run win. Both of these young sides will be keen to keep the winning feeling going but North Geelong might just be too strong. Other selections: Bell Post Hill v GEELONG WEST, Leopold v LARA, St Jospeh’s v SOUTH BARWON,

Cop that, dad; Mason Hanneysee with a nice bay-caught snapper. Squid seemed to become more consistent, with Edwards Point producing baglimit captures, particularly at first light. Surf anglers had to contend with big waves again, limiting opportunities but salmon were still taken. Clean water was essential, making Artillery Rock, Wye River and Apollo Bay the best choices. Anyone seeking snapper or gummy shark from the surf would be well-advised to fish the beaches after dark at Jan Juc, Breamlea or Torquay with fresh bait. Most freshwater locations produced fish, with Deep Lake yielding brown trout for lure anglers. Bait anglers using Powerbait caught the odd rainbow to over 2kg. Lake Tooliorook remains a viable option for trout or redfin, with the latter viable on the troll or by using vibe-style lures. Lake Purrumbete produced brown and rainbow trout over 2.5kg. Redfin were also caught, although most were small. Daniel Fraser fished Wurdee Boluc

Reservoir with Daiwa Double Clutch lures to take four brown trout, with his biggest fish weigh an impressive 3.72kg. Anyone seeking some fun on the Barwon River should try chasing the carp anywhere between Queen’s Park and Breakwater. Fish over 5kg have been grassed on corn or bread baits fished with berley. With the Barwon starting to clear, a few serious lure anglers began catching some nice redfin. The best areas were anywhere with running water, especially at Breakwater and Buckley Falls. Geelong and District Angling Clubs Association held its George Long Shield at the Curdies River last weekend. The fishing was difficult in the discoloured water but shrimp baits worked, with Colac Angling Club’s winning team catching the heaviest bream, 920g.

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE EAST BELMONT v Geelong City, Newtown & Chilwell v GROVEDALE. In division two, Waurn Ponds enjoyed a fantastic first-up win over heavywieght St Albans Breakwater. The Saints batted first but could only manage 127 as Clint Hotchin, 5/31, and Matt Kennedy, 4/24, wreaked havoc with the pill. In reply, Shane Skene, 48n/o, led his team well with support from Luke Hodgson, 32, and Mehul Naik, 20, to see the Eagles record a comprehensive six-wicket win. They will take on fellow first round winner Manifold Heights. The Sharks defeated Marshall last week in a tight contest, with skipper Ben Knight having an outstanding game, making 34 with the bat in his side’s total of 149 before snaring 4/17 with the ball as his side scored a narrow 15-run win. Manifold Heights should have enough firepower to win this game. Other selections: Alexander Thomson v ST PETERS, GUILD ST MARY’S v Modewarre, ST ALBAN’S BREAKWATER v Torquay, MURGHEBOLUC v Marshall, Thomson v NEWCOMB & DISTRICT. Only three results were possible in division three, with Meredith, Lethbridge and Teesdale each claiming six important early-season points. After having the bye last week, Little River will be keen to hit the ground running when it travels to Corio. For Corio, veteran bowler Terry Shelley will be the difference. If he fires, Corio should win. Other selections: LETHBRIDGE v Little River, MEREDITH v North Shore, TEESDALE v Bell Park, Shelford v BANNOCKBURN, Inverleigh Bye.
