A month of knits to remember BY CHERIE DONNELLAN HAVING a yarn takes on new meaning in Torquay’s Beanie Festival this month. Organiser Jan Hale said the festival emerged from discussions among members of her knitting group. “We used to knit beanies, jumpers and scarves for people in need.” Torquay Uniting Church members started the festival in 2009 amid growing interest in their knitting group. Ms Hale said the festival would feature lots of knitting displays and workshops throughout May. “There are displays at the church and in shops around Torquay. “We even have a knitted jumper of the Mona Lisa on display.” Ms Hale said Spotlight’s sponsorship of the festival had helped the festival grow. “There are prizes awarded for creative knitting. We also welcome knitted donations to give to those who need winter warmth.”

RSL bowls home complete a lot of planning to ensure both groups agreed on the design, he said. “If an agreement can’t be formalised between the bowls club and the RSL we have a back-up motion in which we will seek extra State Government funding for a general community hall that the RSL could use.” The bowls club received $1.5 million in State Government funding late last year to complete the works. “Our first priority for the grant money is to address the issues of our tired, old building,” Mr Bruhn said.

“There are issues with sewerage and occupational health and safety and asbestos walls that will need to be replaced. “It’ll involve a lot of planning and hard work over the next six months to address that and work with the RSL.” Mr Bruhn said Great Ocean Road Coast Committee would “steer” the planning process as the manager of the club’s Crown land site. Torquay RSL president Kevin Egan said members were “pleased” about finally having new facilities.

“We look forward to working with the bowls club on the design and layout.” Mr Egan said the RSL and Surf Coast Veterans Centre already had a design “in mind”. “We’re going to try and seek approval from the bowls club.” Both clubs expected the planning and building process to take 12 months. Debt forced the RSL to close its previous centre in 2008 after the branch’s bistro hit financial problems. Members have since been meeting at the bowls club.

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN TORQUAY RSL would have a new home as part of a proposed redevelopment of the town’s bowls club, according to the club’s chairman. Des Bruhn said bowls club members voted on Monday night to grant the RSL a sub-lease for its own building within the proposed complex at Taylor Park. Mr Bruhn said a “slender majority” voted in favour of incorporating the RSL into the redevelopment. But the bowlers and RSL still had to

ES FABRIC LOUNG

City includes carbon, other taxes with rates BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG’S council has opened a public relations war with state and federal governments over the level of taxes included in rates. Council leaders said they would detail state and federal taxes in rate notices following a 5.1 per cent rates rise, with .2 per cent due to the carbon tax. Council passed its budget for 2012/2013 this week. Mayor John Mitchell said the rate rise was really 4.9 per cent. “We put together a fiscally responsi-

ble budget with a 4.9 per cent rate rise but we have no control over what the government does,” Cr Mitchell said. “It would be unfair to council and the public not to know what goes into the fees and charges. “We will give ratepayers a breakdown of state and federal government taxes with their rate notices.” Cr Mitchell said the increased carbon tax costs represented a $60 rate increase. The .2 per cent carbon tax was directly attributable to council’s Drysdale landfill, he said. The landfill breached a 25-million-

tonne benchmark, so council had a direct carbon tax liability of $6 million to $7 million over 14 years. Cr Mitchell said council had absorbed increased utility costs of $1.2 million. “The power, gas and water issues people have at home are no different here.” The budget included $160,000 in allowances for Geelong’s first directly elected mayor as well as $650,000 for this year’s council elections. Cr Mitchell said external influences were behind a 3.7 per cent rise in council fees and charges.

Three per cent was due to inflation and .7 per cent to the carbon tax, he said. Increases affected leisure and aquatic centre fees, animal registrations, parking fines and childcare. Federal Member for Corio Richard Marles said assistance measures in this week’s federal Budget would cover the carbon tax impact on Geelong residents. “The provisions to households in assistance will be considerably more than the increase in rates. There is also an opportunity for council to earn carbon credits by cutting methane emissions at Drysdale landfill.”

in brief Jaws rescue RESCUE crews have used Jaws of Life equipment to free a crash victim from the wreckage of a car in Geelong West, according to the SES. Media liaison officer Scott Clark said two cars collided at the corner of Princes Hwy and Keera St, leaving both “significantly damaged”.

Liberal three THREE Liberal party members have nominated for preselection to take on Labor’s Darren Cheeseman in the marginal seat of Corangamite at the next federal election. The Liberal party confirmed 2010 Liberal Corangamite candidate Sarah Henderson, IT security expert Rod Nockles and physiotherapist Marcus Dripps would contest the June 17 preselection convention.

Chamber boss AUSTRALIA Post manager Mark Davis has replaced Jim Walsh as president of Geelong Chamber of Commerce. Mr Davis, pictured, said in his first public statements as the chamber’s new president that the Federal Government’s carbon tax and business red tape were the two main challenges facing businesses in the Geelong region.

$1m contract A GEELONG company has cracked Asian markets with a $1 million contract to help a Brunei library manage its books, according to a spokesperson. FE Technologies said its state-of-the-art radio frequency identification technology, operating in 170 Australian and New Zealand libraries, secured the deal against “heavy competition from large multinational suppliers”.

Cats star YOUNG Cats player Steven Motlop has won the AFL’s Rising Star award nomination for round six. The 21-year-old earned the recognition after amassing 28 possessions against Melbourne at Simonds Stadium in his 11th AFL match last weekend.

Good sports raise $47,000 for Geelong’s ‘strugglers’ WELFARE agencies have emerged as financial winners from a three-day sport festival on Geelong’s watefront in February. Geelong Multi Sport Festival organisers from USM events this week handed over $47,421 to Give Where You Live, a fundraising body for more than 70 agencies in the region. The proceeds were from entries, a Rotary barbecue and Target and

Worley Parsons sponsorships, the organisers said. Give Where You Live’s Bill Mithen was rapt with the cash. “We are thrilled that our partnership with Geelong Multi Sport Festival helped raise vital funds to assist Give Where You Live fulfill its goal of helping people who struggle to cope with poor health, reduced education opportunities and insufficient

income,” Mr Mithen said. “It was great to see the community embrace the event and we know the festival will become a major event on the region’s calendar.” Hundreds of entrants including some of Australia’s best triathletes competed in the festival. The event featured racing in triathlon disciplines over various distances, culminating in Olympic and long-course triathlons

on the final day. The Independent signed on this year as sponsor of the festival’s Superkidz Triathlon, increasing entries over 200 per cent. Target’s Denis Leahy said the festival was a “fantastic opportunity” to support Give Where You Live. “Target is a big part of Geelong and we’re very proud to sponsor events that support the community.”

A DEVELOPER has advertised revised plans for a residential and marina project on a former slipway site at Rippleside. Rippleside Quay said it had reduced its proposed number of dwellings in the wake of the global financial crisis and an “oversupply” of apartments around Geelong’s waterfront.

Drivers blitzed DRUNK and drugged drivers were among motorists caught brreaking the law during a “lockdown” blitz in Geelong this week, according to Victoria Police. A police spokesperson said 84 officers and 47 cars participated in the operation to catch illegal motorists trying to avoid detection.

Weed tackled MORE THAN 50 volunteers have tackled the spread of a noxious weed at You Yangs Regional Park, according to Parks Victoria. A spokesperson said the volunteers attended a working bee last weekend to remove boneseed, which threatened native plants and reduced food supply for indigenous animals.

$800m fighter jet project yet to take off after defence cuts BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN ANOTHER major project for the region has failed to fire, blocking further Geelong jobs growth. A site for a proposed aero structures manufacturing facility promising 300 jobs remains unchosen, a state government spokesperson confirmed. The Independent reported in

batch of 12 JSF aircraft by two years. Defence Minister Stephen Smith last year decided to hold back on the overall order for 58 fighters. Delays and cost overruns have mired the JSF program, under the direction of giant American aerospace company Lockheed Martin. Another Melbourne engineering company, Production Parts, went

March last year that Marand Precision Engineering was investigating Avalon for the facility. The facility would service a defence contract worth up to $800 million to build tail assemblies for global Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft. But Federal Government announced $4 billion in defence cuts this week, including delaying Australia’s purchase of its first

into receivership last year despite holding a $40 million JSF contract. Victorian Industry Minister Richard Dalla Riva said last year that Marand would spend $50 million on its 10,000-square-metre Geelong facility. The new facility would provide a “major economic and jobs boost for Geelong”, he said. The delay to the project follows

last week’s State Government announcement that a proposed 1000-job car shipping facility would stay in Melbourne instead of relocating to Geelong. The Government spokesperson said the JSF project could “expect accelerated progress” in the next few months. The first scheduled deliveries at the end of 2013 were “on track”.

First Lego convention building excitement BY MICHELLE HERBISON LEGO trains have been Mark Young’s obsession since he stopped driving trucks. The 45-year-old Newcomb resident said he had about five tonnes of Lego in a collection so large he was thinking of starting a backyard museum. Mr Young will showcase his Lego creations at Rotary Club of Queenscliffe’s first Lego fan convention next month. Mr Young said he spent about 10 to 15 hours weekly building and collecting Lego. “I had to finish working seven years ago and that’s when I found ebay and it started to really take off.” SueAnn Barber, of Melbourne-based Lego fan convention Brickvention, said Queenscliffe Bricks would be the first regional display her group had organised. About 20 large tables would fill the Point Lonsdale Primary School Hall with displays including spaceships, dragons, Star Wars characters, model cars and a model of Buckingham Palace, she said. “There are quite a few talented Lego builders in the region.” Ms Barber said Lego fans tended to be between 15 and 45, mostly male and either

Ford’s loss followed slumping Falcon sales, down 36 per cent to 18,741 units last year. Falcon has averaged 1100 sales a month this year, suggesting 13,500 units will sell in 2012. Ford said the “underlying” loss was $78 million after a one-off tax adjustment of $212 million. Ford received $103 million in state and federal support last year to continue producing Falcon and Territory domestically. Ford Australia chief financial officer Mark Rearick said one-

off restructuring costs “primarily explained” the operating loss. “They also reflect a continuing decline in the sales of large vehicles. “This was clearly a challenging year for the industry and for Ford as it faced significant changes in segmentation of customer preferences. The reduction in sales volumes and revenue were partially the result of the industry-wide decline in the sales of large cars.” Ford’s previous worst result on record was a $274 million

Ford loss ‘record’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG manufacturing faces further economic gloom after Ford announced its worst recorded loss of $290 million. The company vowed to continue making “tough decisions” to return to profitability. The Ford loss follows concerns over 600 jobs at Point Henry’s aluminium smelter operations and Federal Government naming Shell and Alcoa among an initial 248 companies facing carbon tax liabilities.

loss in 2008. Ford Australia president Bob Graziano told a Geelong business breakfast in March that Australia was one of the most competive automotive markets in the world. He called for more investment and intervention in the face of increasing “competitive intensity”. Mr Graziano said Australian Government investment in the industry was a “modest” $17.80 per capita compared to other countries.

Seeking a dose of participants

8JOEPX 'JMNT

A MEDICAL trial on the benefits of regular asprin doses for the elderly is seeking 1000 Geelong participants, according to a spokesperson.

Land price up, housing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stallsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY MICHELLE HERBISON Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land prices grew more than other parts of western Victoria last year, according to a researcher. PRDnationwide research analyst Mark Corboy said a study found the median price for vacant land in Geelong increased 11.6 per cent in the year to January. But the median house price stalled at $340,000. Mr Corboy said land prices growth typically outstripped houses but last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s figures were exceptional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land price growth is

growing more strongly than most of the other markets I cover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Houses and units are pretty strong in Geelong but reasonably typical compared to most other markets.â&#x20AC;? The study included Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suburbs and some surrounding towns. Areas of the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast were omitted, while Lara, Little River, Ceres and Avalon were included. PRDnationwide Geelong principal Alex Campbell said vacant land supply around Geelong had failed to meet demand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fair bit of land com-

ing onto the market now or shortly but a lot of that was held up.â&#x20AC;? Mr Campbell said delays in infrastructure and planning permit approvals had caused the shortage. Land had sold â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairly quicklyâ&#x20AC;? at each of his four estates when it was released, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prices have pushed up a bit at each stage due to supply and demand.â&#x20AC;? Mr Campbell expected some young professionals wanting house and land packages in new estates to look elsewhere when the Federal Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-home owners bonus grant ended on June 30.

Quarry in geo bid drilling 4000 metres deep to assess temperatures and run fluid through the well to determine its capacity to produce energy. But the project would require Federal Government funding. The Independent revealed last month that Greenearth was seeking funding from Federal Government after it withdrew an initial allocation because the company failed to raise enough capital of its own. “We’ve already been granted

$5 million from State Government for the initial drilling but we’ll need more money to complete the first stages,” Mr King said. “We’ve applied for funding through the Federal Government’s emerging renewables program.” Mr King said Greenearth expected to find out whether it would receive funding in “three to four months”. But drilling was unlikely to commence this year, he said.

Volunteer Tyler charitable despite disability BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN TYLER Rassiello would typically be considered a beneficiary rather than a provider of charity. But the 30-year-old with Down syndrome has overcome his disability to help run a Grovedale op shop for the past 12 months. The movie buff and games fan has found his niche in the used videos and DVD section of Torquay Rd’s Brotherhood of St Laurence Community Store He was keen to let people know the joys of volunteering no matter their circumstances. “I didn’t really speak when I started,” Tyler admitted. “I was too shy but now I feel confident.” Tyler’s mother, Chris, said working as a volunteer had a huge impact on her son’s life. “The experience of regularly dealing with customers and staff has helped Tyler to come out of his shell.” Store manager John Kirk said Tyle had made a difference to the staff at the store as well. “He’s a breath of fresh air. Tyler always brings a positive attitude to work and has a way of lightening up your day. “The customers and staff love him.”

He initially knew little about money but now served customers and handled EFTPOS transactions. Tyler confessed he had to stop being so

cheeky during his 10am-to-2pm shifts, which surprised his co-workers. “I don’t think Tyler could ever stop being cheeky but it’s part of what we love about him,” colleague Tracey Bourke said. National Volunteers Week is from May 14 to 20.

Director Robert King said Greenearth chose the site west of Moriac and about 8.5km from Anglesea’s coal mine after a “hefty round of consultations” with stakeholders. “We knew environmentallyconscious people were concerned about testing on Crown

Key issue: Bernadette Uzelac.

INFURNITURE 3/20 Pakington Street, Geelong West War declared: Michael King.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A CAMPAIGN against red tape has begun in Geelong, business leaders have announced. Geelong Chamber of Commerce executive officer Bernadette Uzelac said the business deregulation campaign would be a key issue for the next 12 months. A Geelong Business Network breakfast this week heard that Australia had the most business regulation in the world. International expert, Deakin University Professor Jean du Plessis, said Australia’s corporations act alone had more than 3000 sections. The US act contained around 500 sections and the UK’s had 1300 sections, Prof du Plessis said. “Australia’s corporate law is massively complex with a maze of cross-references, making it almost impossible to comprehend,” he told the breakfast. Prof du Plessis said a federal corporate law simplification program actually added to the complexities. A Productivity Commission report identifying and evaluating regulation reform ran to 609 pages, he said. Prof du Plessis believed a productivity boost from cutting red tape would help offset the global financial crisis in Australia. Kings Australia director Michael King told the breakfast he was seeking local businesses to submit instances of burdensome or frustrating regulation. Mr King, a member of Federal Government’s national small business advisory committee, declared a “war on red tape”. He cited an example of a regulation requiring Victorian Regional Channels Authority to pay for a whale lookout on all dredging operations in Corio Bay. “There must be whales in Corio Bay if the regulations say you have to keep a lookout for them.” Mr King said several businesses contacted him after the breakfast to offer assistance. Local businesses were keen to have a voice on the issue at a national level, he said. “The chamber of commerce will be the contact point for local businesses wishing to participate in this campaign. “I will be happy to collect information and evidence from regional businesses and pass it on to Canberra. “An evidence base from a whole range of sectors across the region adds credibility.”

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK 14-20 MAY 2012 VOLUNTEERS - EVERY ONE COUNTS We would like to take this opportunity to thank all volunteers for their wonderful contribution to our community.

Kids Aspire to uni

Because no matter what kind of volunteering it is - whether it’s helping people, the environment, your community group, school or sports club you are making a difference. The City of Greater Geelong relies on close to 700 volunteers to work with the community through Meals on Wheels, the National Wool Museum, the Heritage Centre, our Tourism Information Centres, L2P, Potato Shed, and Walking School Bus.

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN UNIVERSITY was never an option for Jordan Humphreys as he considered his future at Northern Bay College. But the year 10 student said tertiary studies were now his goal since a new program helped him realise his skills in science and technology. Aspire was also helping other Northern Bay students discover their potential, he said. “It got us (students) thinking about our future and how to approach it in the right way. “I’d never really thought about it before that.”

We know there are thousands more in our region who are volunteering their time in so many different ways, and we thank all of you today. Our community wouldn’t be the same without you.

If you would like to become part of our volunteer team, please call 5272 5272 or go to our website www.geelongaustralia.com.au and search “volunteers” for more information.

ABORIGINAL CULTURAL HERITAGE WALK AT YOU YANGS

Aspire operates as part of a Department of Education scheme linking Deakin University teaching students with Northern Bay College to improve teacher skill bases and student learning. Northern Bay College’s Kellie Tobin said Aspire helped students with “incredible potential”. The program encouraged them to “explore their interests and post-compulsory schooling aspirations”, she said. “We want to increase the aspirations of our high-achieving year nine and 10 students who may not have considered univer-

sity pathways previously.” Ms Tobin said the Deakin teching students acted as “mentors” under the program. Deakin student Anna Darcey said working with Northern Bay students had been mutually beneficial. “We’re trying to cross traditional lines of what pre-service teachers would have done in the past but also to respond to students whose needs have not been met with traditional teaching. “The students in the program have tested high academically but may not be aware of their abilities. We want students to have the opportunity to under-

stand and reflect on their abilities and become more aware of the career and study options available to them.” Ms Darcey said the program’s first unit allowed students to attend lectures and tutorials at Deakin. “We had the kids learn about aviation in one unit and then we took them on an excursion to Avalon Airport to meet with CEO Justin Giddings, so they were getting both theoretical and applied learning.” Latest Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show 48 per cent of Corio residents have education to year 10 or below.

City ‘left with Port Bellarine headache’

$2m clean-up bill BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG ratepayers face a $2 million bill to rehabilitate the site of an ill-fated Port Bellarine development, according to a state MP. Member for Bellarine Lisa Neville said the Crown land under the tourist development lease would require extensive restoration. The rehabilitation bill would be on top of money council had already spent on the area in the mistaken belief it was the responsible authority, Ms Neville said.

The disciplines of working hard and being the best you can be is the passion that drives us to achieve the same goals for you. Good old fashioned values, where all funds stay in Australia, personal service and Aussie know-how.

Mr Baker said staff offered camp places to 10 boys and 10 girls embodying the school’s values of respect, achievement, excellence and diversity. “It’s a real spread of kids who have shown excellent academic or sporting performance and an ability to lead their peers and be a role model.” Mr Baker said the students would stay at an outdoor education centre in Bogong Village, learning cross-country and downhill skiing. They would also participate in organised leadership activities. Mr Baker said the students would run a leadership project with junior students when they returned. He hoped the camp would become a regular event for North Geelong students.

ment met only once. Most people do not even know it exists. “This area of foreshore has therefore not had the same attention as other parts of Bellarine. “In recent years local residents have been vocal in their concern about the condition of this area and mistakenly taken those complaints to the City. “The City of Greater Geelong believed it had responsibility for the area and invested money in trying to bring it up to standard but there is still quite a bit of work required on that bit of the foreshore.”

BY MICHELLE HERBISON A GROUP of high school students from Geelong’s northern suburbs will see snow for the first time as part of a leadership camp this year. North Geelong Secondary College transition and pathways leader Josh Baker said the 20 year nine and 10 students would pay only $160 each for three days at Falls Creek. Mr Baker said $5000 for the trip from Shell Community Grants would help the students enjoy experiences otherwise unavailable to them. “The demographic they come from on this side of town haven’t had that opportunity. We’ve been able to offer the camp to our most outstanding men and women without their parents having the dilemma of the huge cost over their heads.”

approved a goodwill payment. Ms Neville said management of the land would revert to City of Greater Geelong. “The City should be provided with additional resources to enable it to rehabilitate that land,” she said. “Those funds should be included in any settlement reached by the Government.” Ms Neville told parliament the land was damaged, with native vegetation removed and a drainage system broken. “It is my understanding that over the past 30 years the Port Bellarine committee of manage-

The Independent reported last month that State Government faced a $100 million writ for attempting to kill off the 30year-old proposal. The Government rushed to repeal a 1981 act of parliament establishing Port Bellarine to beat the developer’s writ. The initial agreement allowed Grawin Pty Ltd to develop 1000 residential lots, a marina and canal system at Portarlington’s Point Richards but work never commenced. The Government’s Port Bellarine Repeal Bill ruled out compensation for the developer but

their listeners.” Star Search tickets cost $25 or $55 for a family from Geelong Performing Arts Centre or by phoning 0419 362 217. The Independent is a sponsor of Star Search. The finalists in the vocal, instrumental and group categories are: Sasha Capill, piano; Sylvia Fox, voice and guitar; Katelyn Shirley, trombone; Sandy and Connor, vocal duo; Evan Xia, saxophone; Carly Ellis, voice; Jamie Pye, guitar; Libby Host, voice; Edward Yang, violin; Christian College String Ensemble, group; Constantine Karatenisilis, clarinet; Jamie Parker, violin; Emily and Adam, vocal duo; Lilian Liu, piano; Adam Di Martino, voice; Grace Wiedmann, flute.

Port’s bigger future BY MICHELLE HERBISON A TREND to bigger ships presents “major challenges” for Geelong’s port, according to a maritime consultant. Thompson Clarke director Sandy Galbraith said Geelong might need more berths and deeper shipping channels in the next 10 to 15 years. Mr Galbraith said a new study would determine forecasts affecting the port. Victorian Regional Channels Authority chief executive officer Captain Peter McGovern said the port moved about 12 million tonnes of goods in the past year. Recent rain had boosted the port’s grain exports to an expected 2.5 million tonnes this year compared to only 70,000 in 2009 and 2010, he said. Cpt McGovern said determining the port’s limits on trade was “hard to say” without knowing whether it would obtain additional infrastructure investment. The impact of bigger ships on the port would be “gradual”, he said. “The markets (for increased exports from the port) are there first and (bigger ships are) much more efficient when we look at cost. “As ships get bigger, all facilities associated with them including berths, loading facilities and channels probably need to get bigger.” Cpt McGovern said sharing Corio Bay effectively with recreational boaters was also a concern. A 2010 analysis found that Geelong’s port generated 1302 direct and indirect jobs and $180 million in gross regional product. The report predicted trade and employment to triple in two decades. Cpt McGovern said the port was “really important” for Geelong jobs.

Home nursing – by locals, for locals. I love caring for people at home, where I can help them become healthier and happier. That’s why I’m a nurse with RDNS (Royal District Nursing Service) here in the Geelong region.

Deadly: James Sanderson Inspects an old gas heater. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 80819

I’m really proud to be part of a team of RDNS nurses who live locally and care for local people. As more people age, we are committed to helping them enjoy the comforts of home for as long as they can. Call us today to ﬁnd out about our wide range of nursing services, ready to be delivered to your door.

Warning over ‘silent killers’ “The last thing we want is another tragedy like that of the two little boys who lost their lives in 2010 or three men in Tasmania as recently as last month. “Servicing a gas heater extends the working life of gas appliances and assists energy efficiency, reducing gas bills. “Most importantly, it protects families from the silent killer, carbon monoxide poisoning. “You can’t smell, taste, or see carbon monoxide. The only way is through a comprehensive service and gas safety test using specialised equipment. “An un-serviced gas heater is a terrible accident waiting to happen.” Mr Sanderson, who works for

Gas Test Australia, said external units for ducted heating could also pose risks. “People think because the unit is outside they are safe but the leak can occur through the ducting. Victoria’s Director of Energy Safety, Paul Fearon, advised householders to ensure qualified gasfitters serviced heaters at least every two years. He said carbon monoxide was dangerous because it was odourless and colourless, affecting more than 100 people each year. Nine Victorians have died from carbon monoxide poisoning since 2000, including brothers Chase and Tyler Robinson in their Mooroopna home in 2010.

1032885-SH19-12

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN UP TO 60 per cent of local gas heaters need servicing to avoid the risk of deadly carbon monoxide poisoning, according to a licensed Geelong tester. James Sanderson said many gas space heaters and wall furnaces in the region were up to 30 years old. “We find a lot of heaters clogged with dust or have not been serviced for many years,” Mr Sanderson said. “Sometimes we will find a cracked heat exchanger or other leak within the unit.” Mr Sanderson said householders were usually unaware of problems with gas heaters until they turned to them with onset of winter.

Picture: John Conway 81240 petition nights for members who gained exposure for their work, she said. “The club offers lots of avenues to learn more about photography, find new information and share tips and advice. “Being digital, members can try something as weird and wonderful as they like and if doesn’t work then they simply press delete. “There used to be a mys-

tique around film photography. It’s almost a pity it has gone in a way but the essential art of photography has not changed. “The same elements are still there – all that’s changed is the method of capture and processing.” With the shutterbug biting more people, Heather said the social side of photography should not be underestimated. “Our members transcend

age barriers, gender and background and just enjoy getting together with likeminded people. “Some of our members work in the industry but most are amateurs who have become extremely competent.” Heather said the club offered an interesting and varied program including guest speakers, competitions, practical sessions and weekend outings. The club also ran special

interest groups focussing on areas like Photoshop and multimedia. Heather said the club had a big dry-mounting press available for members to produce large display prints, a library, a studio with its own lighting equipment and backdrops and a darkroom. She advised anyone wanting more information to visit the club website at geelongcameraclub.org.au.

PHOTOGRAPHY has emerged from the darkroom into the light of a digital revolution – and Geelong Camera Club is zooming in on the action. President Heather Prince said the club had experienced a resurgence in digital photography interest. Geelong Camera Club is no flash in the pan. Members have been meeting for more than 120 years, making it the oldest club on mainland Australia. The advent of digital cameras has only put a bright future in the frame. “Digital photography lends itself to much wider use and puts photography into the hands of people who might not otherwise have afforded it,” Heather explained. “Cameras and the cost of photography have come down a lot and people are finding ways to enjoy the art beyond simply the family or holiday snaps.” Heather painted a portrait of photography as an art form as well as a record.

Geelong’s Future: Closer than you think

A panoramic view of Batesford South and the Batesford Quarry, a key investigation area for Geelong’s future growth.

THE draft G21 Regional Growth Plan has been released for discussion and a key part of the Regional Growth Plan is WKH LGHQWL¿FDWLRQ RI QHZ areas for Geelong to grow into. Batesford South, ZKLFK KDV EHHQ LGHQWL¿HG as an area for future investment, is a large area of Geelong just west of the Ring Road that runs from the Barwon River to the Ballarat Road. Early planning indicates potentially 12,000 homes could be established within the area, including various shopping and education facilities as well as vast open space land. Surprisingly, this large area of land, which is so

close to the Geelong CBD, has escaped attention up until now. This was partly because of the previous Geelong Cement quarry, but with the winding down of mining activity the area becomes available for rehabilitation and renewal, which is already underway. Additionally, with the Ring Road now running along the area’s eastern edge, a gateway to the zone has been opened. Leading local town planner, Michael Gerner, was positive on the draft report. “G21 is to be commended for its initiative in preparing a strategic plan for the long term growth of Geelong as the State’s

major regional City, and for the consultation process it is following.” he said. In regard to the inclusion of Batesford South in the plan he added that “The draft G21 Regional Growth Plan presents a balanced concept that highlights a range of options to meet housing and employment needs. In particular, G21 is to be commended for identifying Batesford South for further investigation as a potential growth area. This previously unrecognised area presents a rare opportunity to re-balance the long term urban form of Geelong and to extend the lifestyle and

employment choices for future residents.” A particular feature LGHQWL¿HG E\ 0U *HUQHU was the opportunity to redevelop the Geelong Cement quarry site. He said “Planning for the regeneration of the quarry land at Batesford South as a new growth area would exemplify best practice by facilitating sustainable and timely land re-use. It is rare for a regional city to have this opportunity available to it.” The proximity of affordable land close to the Geelong CBD with easy access to Melbourne and the Surf Coast via the Ring Road appears to tick

many boxes for Geelong’s future growth. Amongst these is the redevelopment of the old quarry site as an open space for Geelong’s future use. While the G21 report recognises that the area’s development will be some years away, LW DOVR LGHQWL¿HV WKDW further investigation is needed. Ultimately this investigation will identify the needs of Geelong and determine just how and when this area develops. For more information, visit the website at batesfordsouth.com.au The proposed Batesford South region will support the Geelong CBD and have direct access to Melbourne and the Surf Coast via the Ring Road.

letters Napthineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one IF NOTHING else, when Premier Ted Bailleu appointed Dr Denis Napthine as Minister for Ports, Major Projects, Regional Cities and Racing he got it in one. Dr Napthineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitive and from-the-shoulder explanation why Port of Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match Webb Dockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion for car imports and exports provided a disappointing outcome but a clear-cut, fair-minded and correct decision. Hopefully in longer-term and more cashed-up circumstances this decision wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prejudice Avalon and Point Wilson achieving their potential and adding to the precinctâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s untapped flight options. From a laymanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to like about Dr Napthine who has supported jumps racing and a more-equitable sharing of benefits to provincial race clubs, which is a labour-intensive but largely unheralded industry. One would hope that despite the Baillieu Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small-L-and-then-some Liberal budget cuts and accompanying tardiness, eventually a bigger-picture vision will evolve. Why not break the shackles of inherited debt by spending up big? Despite governance baby steps and federal sphere self-interest on multi-faceted sides, Dr Napthine has the capacity to get the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s non-performing deep water ports at Hastings and Portland up and running, with some of the cash flow to be used to get the local millpond achieving its potential. Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Animal passions GARY Matchan (Letters, April 27) said I should draw on facts and experience rather than emotions based on ill-informed advice when expressing my views. If being passionate and caring about animal welfare is emotional then I make no apology. While I have to accept the legal right of those licensed to hunt wild ducks, I do not respect or support the deliberate killing of animals or birds for sport or entertainment. As for the facts, they are there for all to see on the RSPCA website or Animals Australia website. The minute percentage of ducks Mr Matchan described that are injured and not recovered might suffer over a long period before recovery or death from their wounds or through predation by foxes. Neither Mr Matchan nor I could possibly observe the behaviour of duck hunters at every wetland area where it is legal to shoot water birds. Unfortunately, some duck shooters are inexperi-

Growing concern on nature strips I WRITE to present the case against vegetable verge gardens (Independent, May 4). Vegetable verge gardens can pose a number of problems. First, where the footpath is narrow or non-existent pedestrians are often forced to walk through the garden or on the road. Who will cover public liability insurance if someone trips over the plants or is run over on the road because of the verge garden? Secondly, vegetables grown on the roadside risk being doused with toxic exhaust fumes from passing vehicles or

enced, which might result in non-target species being killed. It is a fact that the physical action of a shotgun involves a spray of pellets and a flying bird can be wounded by even a single pellet. Other birds flying with the target bird can be wounded. Depending on the distance between gun and bird it might take a number of pellets to kill a bird outright. Duck shooting has been banned in Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland. It is hoped Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania will follow. Suzanne Roberts Whittington

Falcon ridiculous HAS FORD lost the plot with its new four-cylinder Falcon? Dropping a four-cylinder motor into a traditional six-cylinder Falcon is hard to understand. People can buy a mid-sized four for about half the price. Falcon has an excellent stable-mate, the midsized Mondeo, a very good car that comes in sedan and wagon models, so why is Ford putting out a four-cylinder Falcon sedan only? Falconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four-cylinder engine is imported from Spain and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually dearer to make than the locally produced inline six. The question must be asked: why should people pay around $38,000 for a large four-cylinder car? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that much more economical and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the towing capacity of the six. For less money I could buy a Hyundai I30 or a

method is used, nutrient run-off into the stormwater system is inevitable. If the aim of verge gardens is to bring a neighbourhood community together, why not plant shade-giving council-approved street trees on the nature strip or, alternatively, establish a street bee corridor, ensuring every garden has some beeattracting flowering plants. There must be better places to grow vegetables than on nature strips. Elizabeth Pollock Belmont

Toyota Aurion and if I wanted economical motoring Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d buy the dedicated LPG Falcon. Why couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Ford make a dual-fuel Falcon, a car with both petrol and gas? This way you would get cheap motoring and if you wanted to pull a caravan or tow it you could switch over to petrol. Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to drop a four-cylinder into the Falcon doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a whole lot of sense. Alan Barron Grovedale

Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the corridor? AS DEVELOPMENT in Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s north rushes on frenetically with residential lots, schools, sport facilities et cetera, there seems to be a marked silence from the Victorian Government about the traffic corridor supposedly reserved from and through Armstrong Creek. How will future residents of Armstrong Creek get to the beach on a hot night after work? The transport corridor was supposed to help by having a quick means of public transport, notionally a spur of the heavy railway system or at least a light railway to Torquay where a station would be adjacent Surf Coastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new civic centre and near a proposed shopping centre. Before the corridor is built out with residential allotments et cetera Andrew Katos should assure us of its existence, show us where it is and allow me to stand on the site where the Torquay station will be built. Spencer Leighton Torquay

Facts freely fudged PROPONENTS of climate change have again been caught out fudging the facts. This time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to do with alleged death threats against researchers at Australian National University (ANU). Privacy Commissioner Timothy Pilgrim found â&#x20AC;&#x153;there was no evidence of death threatsâ&#x20AC;? in emails to staff, as claimed by ANU. No doubt Federal Government will vigorously deny any attempt to stifle free speech on the subject of climate change and the carbon tax. Yes, we all know free speech is apparently official government policy. Indeed, people are encouraged by the Gillard ministry of truth to openly discuss the problem of global warming and climate change. Brian Handley Geelong

Seeking meaning AS WE celebrate both World Red Cross Day and International Volunteers Week this month I would like to thank the young humanitarians in our community for constantly finding new ways to support our work. They will be integral to ensuring humanitarian organisations like Red Cross remain relevant and effective into the future. They bring innovation, creativity and a fresh approach to the way Red Cross engages with communities, notably through social media. This year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inviting people on Facebook and Twitter to share what Red Cross means to them. In addition to celebrating young people on World Red Cross Day, Australian Red Cross is also focusing on voluntary service and the everyday work we do to help vulnerable people. In a historic event this month, over 80 politicians including Prime Minister Julia Gillard and opposition leader Tony Abbott signed a record recognising the support of all political parties for the work of Red Cross. I now invite everyone to tell us what Red Cross means to you. Go to our page at facebook .com/AustralianRedCross or Twitter at twitter.com /RedCrossAU or our website at redcross.org.au and tell us what you think.

Jazz in a Flap! BY CHERIE DONNELLAN CAUGHT in the jazz groove, a punter reproduced his very own Roaring ’20s when he stripped as Flap! played a Fitzroy dive last year. Singer Eamon McNelis recounted how the rest of the audience followed the stripper’s lead before undressing the band members as well. McNelis attributed the incident to Flap!’s 1920s-inspired jazz and alcohol. “It was really quite funny,” he told the Independent. “(Bass player) Mark’s parents had come to watch us for the first time. After the audience made us strip Mark’s parents were the only ones still clothed. “Mark’s dad commented that he regretted not bringing his glasses.” McNelis said Flap!’s gig at Torquay Bowls Club later this month would be fun but clothes would probably remain in place. “If the weather’s good we’ll play barefoot bowls before the gig. That’ll be fun.” The Melbourne band describes its music as a quirky blend of “old and new”, mixing prohibition-era jazz, English folk, gypsy brass and calypso influences. McNelis also plays the cornet alongside fellow band members Jess Guille, Don Stewart, Ben

All that jazz: Flap! plays Torquay Bowls Club this month. Hendry and Mark Elton. He said Flap! retained Australian themes in its songs. “We write our own songs and often talk about Australian stories within our lyrics. “(Banjo player and singer) Jess and I lived together around the time we formed the band and we were listening to a lot of Paul Kelly’s music. Our songwriting is quite influenced by him.” McNelis said the band had an eclectic fan base. “Sometimes we’ll play to hipsters, sometimes to older people, sometimes to drunks....or sometimes to older, drunk hipsters,” he joked.

But the music always encouraged dancing. “We’re all pretty happy people,” McNelis said. “We like to have fun, be lively and tell jokes while on stage. I think our audience responds to that.” Flap!’s first gig was at a cafe in Copenhagen in 2007. Since then the band’s continued travelling. Domestic performances have included music festivals in Queensland, Apollo Bay and Melbourne. Flap! will play Torquay as part of their national tour after the release of latest album A Great Day for the Race.

Free legal help arwon Community Legal Service will launch a free face-to-face legal service at Corio during Law Week from May 14 to 20. The Law Place – Corio will provide legal help at Corio Community Health Centre, 2 Gellibrand St, every Monday afternoon starting May 21. The centre’s experienced lawyers will provide free advice, with more information available by phoning 1300 430 599. Anyone interested in attending the official launch on May 17 can phone the same number to reserve a place. Barwon Community Legal Services’ Jillian Chapman said

Annina Varrella and Elizabeth Hopkin.

Volunteer options new program developed by volunteering Geelong is designed to meet the needs of volunteers seeking to use their skills on short-term, flexible projects. The projects are delivering valuable outcomes for community organisations, providing them with opportunities to achieve objectives they would normally struggle to complete or even start. UnitingCare volunteer coordinator Elizabeth Hopkin attended a Volunteering Geelong course on Bite-Size Volunteering. The course outlined the many benefits and changing nature of volunteering to meet the needs and expectations of both volunteers and organisations. Elizabeth then brainstormed some projects with her UnitingCare team. “I found the project templates provided by Volunteering

Geelong easy to use. The Volunteering Geelong team also helped me fine-tune our position description for our Research Assistant,” Elizabeth says. “Volunteering Geelong vetted applicants for me and recommended Annina Varrella who started immediately, working one day a week over a three-month period. “Annina had a skill set that fitted our project perfectly. Once Annina started she was included as part of the team, with a clear role and KPIs. “The research project was conducted and the results were delivered on time, giving UnitingCare insights into potential funding opportunities. “I’d definitely do it again. The Bite Size Volunteer project encouraged us to achieve a body of work by an experienced and competent volunteer working for a short period of time.”

New to Geelong, Annina was keen to give back to the community while looking for paid employment. In her initial meeting with Volunteering Geelong she reviewed opportunities with local charities, expressing an interest in UnitingCare’s research project. “I immediately felt part of the team at UnitingCare. It was warm and welcoming,” Annina says. “I felt a true sense of satisfaction from the experience, knowing I was making a real difference to UnitingCare and ultimately the people they assist. I’d definitely recommend volunteering on a bite-size project.” More information about BiteSize Volunteering is available by phoning Gail Rodgers on 5221 1377, emailing manager@volunteeringgeelong.com or visiting www.volunteeringgeelong.org.au .

The Law Place’s lawyers can answer questions on a wide range of laws. “For example, we encourage anyone having trouble with Centrelink or with questions about child support to obtain free legal advice.” Barwon Community Legal Service will also host a free information session for community workers on May 17. Ms Chapman has been overwhelmed with over 100 registrations for the Law for Community Workers. The session will cover topics ranging from appealing Centrelink decisions to Disability Support Pension changes and an overview

of family violence and personal safety intervention orders. “There’s a real need in our community for easy-to-understand legal information on a broad range of legal topics,” Ms Chapman says. “The Law for Community Workers session will give new and existing workers the opportunity to explore legal issues that affect their clients and members of the community.” Barwon Community Legal Service is a free independentl service providing advice and legal education for people living in the Geelong, Bellarine Peninsula, Surf Coast and Colac Otway regions. More information is available by phoning 1300 430 599.

ictoria’s education system is built on the idea that education starts from the moment we are born. Throughout Education Week we have the chance to celebrate the many wonderful things that are giving Victorian children the very best start to life.

Our many dedicated kindergarten teachers, innovative school teachers and visionary school leaders are doing a terrific job in inspiring students to learn and encouraging them to be the best they can be. In kindergartens across the state, children are being encouraged to explore new concepts and open the door to discovery, learning and play through reading programs, art and craft activities and song and dance. Schools are embracing the latest technology to prepare students for the modern world, with interactive learning through virtual classrooms, state-of-the-art specialist science centres, video-conferencing and web streaming, and some innovative teachers are even gaining a worldwide audience by podcasting their lessons on iTunes. Our focus on building a worldclass education system involves keeping our classrooms at the forefront of technology, ensuring children with disabilities have excellent programs that are tailored to suit their needs, and making sure we build safe and supportive school cultures through a range of anti-bullying strategies and programs. Our government also recognis-

es that when children learn a second language, there are more ben- Martin Dixon efits than simply being able to speak two languages. Learning a second language improves a child’s literacy, problem-solving and communication skills, as well as helping them to understand other cultures and opening up more career opportunities in the future. That is why we have committed to ensuring all students in government schools from Prep to Year 10 will be learning a language by 2025, starting with preps in 2015. This is the story of education and early childhood development in Victoria today. Wendy Lovell Education Week is a chance for you to see this learning in action and we encourageyou to visit your local kindergarten or school and learn more about the range of exciting programs on offer. For more information about Education Week visit: www.education.vic.gov.au/educationweek. Martin Dixon, Minister for Education. Wendy Lovell, Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development. Peter Hall, Minister for Higher Education and Skills; Minister responsible for the Teaching Peter Hall Profession.

Education Week 20–26 May 2012 Reading for success Reading with your children is one of the simplest and most effective ways that you can contribute to their success. During Education Week – in this National Year of Reading – government schools and kindergartens will hold open days and special events, including many highlighting the value of reading throughout a child’s learning journey. For information about events in your community, an online forum for parents of Prep students, and tips on how you can support your child’s reading skills in fun and effective ways, visit the Education Week website: www.education.vic.gov.au/educationweek The website also features information about the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge, which is open to Prep to Year 10 students.

Job-ready with academy skills ustralian Academy of Design’s goal is to ensure its graduates are job-ready. The academy offers Bachelor of Design Arts degrees with majors in advertising, fashion design, graphic design, photo media and visual arts. Students only have to look at the statistics to see why a degree from Australian Academy of Design is different from the same qualification from a university. The academy has an outstanding student retention rate, with more than 90 per cent of students completing their studies. Small class sizes of 16 or less are a major factor in this success. The academy has taken practical steps to make sure its courses are relevant. It has consulted representatives from the design industry both in the formulation of the curriculum and in its ongoing review and provides opportunities for students to undertake professional placements in their second and third years of study. The academy’s students generally find that the transition from secondary school to tertiary education is easier than at a larger university. Based in Port Melbourne, the campus has less than 300 students but offers many of the advantages of larger institutions, including international exchanges and FEEHELP assistance.

Aquatic centre teaches life lessons eelong Aquatic Centre believes its quality teachers, facilities and water make children smarter. The centre and students’ parents participated in national research under Griffiths University’s Professor Robyn Jorgensen, finding that early-years swimming made children smarter, more sociable and confident and better at interacting with peers. Children enjoy the aquatic environment at the centre while listening to teachers and following their instructions. The water provides a wonderful medium for children as young as infants to absorb a range of stimuli. Children can participate in learn-to-swim programs before they can walk. No other sport offers young children the same scope for participation. Geelong Aquatic Centre has parents in the water with their children from the age of four months. As well as encouraging participation and enjoyment in water, swimming lessons have many other benefits. A child familiar with water from an early age has an advantage over others afraid or inexperienced in aquatic environment other than the bath. Children who are happy and confident in water can think of ways to get out of any difficulties and will be more likely to learn to swim quickly, safely and enjoyably. Geelong Aquatic Centre offers an ideal environment for children and infants. The specialist learnto-swim facility has no distractions such as water slides or aqua aerobics lessons. • Children are also supervised when swimming. • The centre also offers: • warm water at 32C; • warm air to retain body heat; • passionate, caring, dedicated, trained staff; • a sequential, developmentally based, fun program;

‘Swimming lessons, a gift for life’

Enrolling in a course could be the first step that changes your life. • classes in developmentally appropriate age groups; • catering for individual needs; • colourful, well-equipped environment; • Austswim accreditation as a tier-one school. Geelong Aquatic Centre’s Debbie Gill is an Austswim and Swim Australia course presenter in Australia and Asia. She also regularly speaks at national conferences where she keeps up-to-date with industry information. “Being a competent swimmer is far more than a skill for recreation and enjoyment,” Debbie says,” it’s a skill that may save a child’s life. Geelong Aquatic Centre operates under the motto: Swimming lessons – a gift for life. “Every child must learn to swim,” Debbie says. Parents can contact the centre to enrol children by phoning 5222 5530 or emailing geoff@geelongaquaticcentre.com.au.

Canberra where we sampled the entry level $20,590 Elantra Active with a six-speed manual gearbox, and the topline $28,990 Hyundai Elantra Premier six-speed automatic. Both have impressive levels of noise reduction and felt like cars from the next size up. Power comes for a new generation four-cylinder 1.8-litre engine that produces up to 110 kilowatts of power and 178 Nm of torque. We were delighted with the way the engine sang along at high revs in a manner reminiscent of the best Italian engines. Yet this powerplant is more than willing to pull from low rpm. The automatic transmission surprised us in the way it held onto lower gears for much longer than average. That certainly adds to the sporty feel of the suspension, but may increase fuel consumption. We will need to wait for a full test on our home road circuit before making further comments on this. Hyundai says the new engine has official ratings that are as much as 11 per cent lower than the previous 1.8litre unit. Hyundai looks to be on another winner with this stylish Elantra. Its combination of low price, sleek looks and excellent engines will please many shoppers in this crowded market segment. We can’t see it beating market leaders Mazda3 and Toyota Corolla, but it may just have them looking anxiously back at this new entrant closing on their back bumpers.

EXCELLENT SERVICE HISTORY

APPROVED CARS ALL CARS

BY ERIC BLAIR he Hyundai Elantra, initially called Lantra in Australia, is a small-medium hatch and sedan that was one of the earliest models to come from the Korean carmaker in May 1991. While it’s never been as big a seller as its smaller siblings such as the Excel and Getz it has been one of the company’s most consistent sellers for over two decades. The latest model is the most stylish yet with futuristic looks that are really turning heads. The larger Hyundai models such as the i45 sedan, i40 Tourer wagon and ix35 SUV are all selling well because of their standout looks, however the latest Elantra has pushed the envelope even further in the style stakes. Building on a theme introduced by Mercedes-Benz with its CLS fourdoor coupe, the Hyundai Elantra takes the sleek, fluid look to new heights. Just look at its domed roof and sharply delineated side design to see what we mean. At the front the large six-sided grille is larger than ever before, perhaps not Audi large, but heading in that direction. As a bonus, the sleek shape results in a coefficient of drag (cD) of just 0.28, a very low figure of this class and one that indicates not only reduced fuel consumption, due to the Elantra slipping through the air cleanly, but also reduces wind noise inside the cabin. Initial road test review was carried out on the scenic hills outside

form, while Chris Mamalis, Jack Moorcroft and Adam Leslie are showing class. Unfortunately, gun recruit Peter Davenport is having a crack at the VFL with Frankston. His tenacity and skill would be more than handy. Barwon Heads is battling this year but there is a feeling it could turn around shortly. Nick Hill, Dylan Holland, Dan Hovey and the ageless Ed Erftemeyer put in every week and with a tad more support the side would be higher up the ladder. Warrior coach Matthew Sproule is driven in his commitment to get his side playing finals and won’t let his boys let this game slip. Other selections: Portarlington v TORQUAY, QUEENSCLIFF v Drysdale, Anglesea v OCEAN GROVE, Newcomb v AMATEURS.

Modewarre is eyeing a Bellarine Football League finals spot and will make the dream a bit closer to reality if it can knock over Barwon Heads at Howard Harmer Oval on Saturday. The Warriors are in fifth spot and have claimed the scalp of the fancied Drysdale along the way. Josh Finch is back to his league best-and-fairest

Geelong and District Football League presents two games equal enough to share the title of games of the day this weekend. Out at Anakie the Roo boys are in form and take on old rival North Geelong, which has also started the year in outstanding fashion.

FRANK MASON The Roosters will win but better not take the home side too lightly. Other selections: Lara v COLAC, Newtown v ST JOSEPH’S, Leopold v BELL PARK, St Alban’s v SOUTH BARWON, ST MARY’S v Grovedale.

Anglers get rocks off on salmon On the bite BRIAN LONG SURF anglers struggled with big ground swells in the past week but clean water on deep-water rock platforms between Lorne and Apollo Bay allowed some outstanding fishing. I found great water at Wye River and Stony Creek where casting lures on the high tides sometimes returned a salmon a cast, with big couta adding variety. Even my son Hudson landed 11 salmon, including the best fish of the day, a whopper over 3kg. Artillery Rock hosted numbers of anglers, most fishing bait. The best results were on high tides, with surf poppers and surf snatchers working well. Beaches at Fairhaven and Eastern View should produce quality action when the conditions settle. Point Lonsdale Pier also produced reasonable numbers of salmon. The last two hours of the incoming tide returned fish around 900g on lure and soft plastics. Troy Edwards fished the entrance to Swan Bay where he found the whiting slow but plenty of garfish attracted to his berley trail. Troy also caught a 4.2kg gummy shark. Whiting reports were limited, with most finding bag-limit captures uncommon. However, Peter Welsh landed his bag three times close in to Bird Rock. Snapper anglers reported action

Down the coast: Hudson Long with barracouta and salmon from Wye River on the weekend. on the southern edge of Wilson Spit after dark. Fish between 3kg and 6.5kg were landed, along with a number of ling. Stuart Stranger fished Corio Bay’s inner-harbour in front of the silos piers for three nice snapper. Stuart’s best fish weighed 6.1kg, with all caught on pilchard in a hot one-hour session just on dark. Terry Hamilton fished at North Shore where he landed a nice snapper around 4kg at 9.30pm Monday. Trevally were taken from the cut at Queenscliff. Soft plastics was the standout method, with young Josh Hammond using his new outfit for the first time to a fantastic 44cm fish. Portland remained the tuna hot spot, with plenty of fish between 8kg and 16kg in close from the 50m to 200m. Small lures have been a winner, with a variety of colours doing the trick. Lake Tooliorook continued dominating freshwater reports,

Turbo

with Powerbait fished from the shore consistently landing numbers of rainbows. Wading out then casting returned the best results. Boat anglers trolling with deepdiving minnow-pattern lures or jigging with ice jigs reported outstanding captures of redfin. Bait anglers looking for the redfin need to net local minnow and fish them close to the bottom. Nearby, Deep Lake produced quality trout caught. Powerbait was successful but lure casters began enjoying better results in rough conditions. Wurdee Boluc Reservoir hosted an influx of anglers seeking its big redfin but most struggled to land a fish, with the few caught coming from close to the inlet end of the reservoir. Anglers should be aware wading is disallowed because Wurdee Boluc holds Geelong’s water supply. Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree was patchy but should improve, with trout being taken on bait, lure and fly in the middle of the day. The Barwon River remained discoloured but the carp have come on the bite. Victor Maher fished downstream of the Shannon Ave bridge for a total of 16 in two sessions, his biggest 8.3kg and all caught on unweighted corn with plenty of berley. Freshwater anglers should head to either Deep Lake or Lake Tooliorook this weekend with Powerbait for trout or two. Saltwater anglers should try Corio Bay’s inner-harbour for snapper after dark, while the surf angling should be best on the afternoon high tides.

Appropriately, this game will be played in front of Anakie’s past players day, with many present remembering the torrid games these two played in the 1990s when they were powerhouse sides. There’s being plenty of lean years since but, with North on top of the ladder and Anakie third, maybe things are turning around. Expect a close game, with North just taking the points. The other game of note is at Richmond Crescent where East Geelong hosts near-neighbour Thomson. Both sides have recruited well and shape up as finalists, even though East would have to be worried that it sits in sixth spot. A loss here wouldn’t be the end of the season for East but it would make things a bit harder. Thomson should win in a classy game but it would be foolish to discount the home side’s chances. Other selections: BELL POST HILL v Inverleigh, Corio v BELMONT LIONS, Geelong West v WERRIBEE CENTRALS, BANNOCKBURN v Winchelsea.

THE LUCKLESS West Saints will look to put its second win on the board this weekend when it travels to Windsor Park to take on North Shore in Geelong Football League’s game of the round. West played a great game against Newtown last week and was only denied victory in the last few minutes. If not for that narrow loss and a similar defeat at the hands of Colac in round one the Roosters would be challenging for fifth position. Man-mountain ruckman Andrew Walsh is making sure his small men are getting first use of the ball in the centre and his mobility ensures he gets to contests all around the ground. Danny O’Keefe, Sam Boyd and Seamus Orr are also playing well and it must be heartbreaking for the side not to have more victories on the board. The Roosters will fancy their chances against North Shore, with the Seagulls sitting second last and winless. James Chandler, Ash McLean, Dylan Watt and Zac Smith are in everything but the side is really missing the class of James Byrne.
