Winter’s of content after Indy plates up 5000 reviews for awards

People’s choice: Matt Connell and Andrew Steere with their Golden Plate awards.

SIX MONTHS of re-invention has won a pair of young business partners the backing of customers in the region’s premier hospitality awards. Matt Connell, 25, and Andrew Steere, 30, claimed the Golden Plate Awards’ People’s Choice prize on Monday night after taking over Newtown’s Winter’s Cafe in May. Mr Connell said being part of the Golden Plate Awards was important for the cafe’s re-branding. “When we took over we didn’t change the name but we changed the logo, did a complete refit of the interior and modernised the menu,� he said. The People’s Choice award attracted more than 5000 restaurant reviews from the public after the Independent came on board as the prize sponsor this year. Awards organiser Pam Jewson said the response was stunning. The Golden Plates fielded less than 800 reviews in 2010, she said. Independent managing editor Tony Galpin was thrilled with the “outstanding result�. “As the region’s highest-circulating newspaper, promoting the People’s Choice category was a great fit for the Independent. “Any local event that can draw 5000 reviews or comments has obviously connected with the community in a big way. The Independent is proud to have helped drive the incredible growth of public participation in the Golden Plate Awards. “The people have spoken – congratulations to Winter’s Cafe.� The People’s Choice award featured a $2000 advertising package with the Independent. The overall winner of the Golden Plate Awards was Queenscliff’s Vue Grand Hotel. Awards liftout, page 23

Call for coast wards VEC announces review of shire structure municipality in Victoria at least every 12 years. The previous review in 2003 left the structure unchanged. Surf Coast councillor Ron Humphrey said most of his colleagues supported retaining council’s regional-based structure

without wards. But the regional structure generally favoured election of council candidates in larger population centres, leaving smaller towns and districts without representation, he said. Cr Humphrey backed the intro-

duction of wards so towns such as Winchelsea, Moriac and Lorne could “have a voice� on council. VEC said the review would also consider the potential number of wards, their names, councillors per ward and positioning of boundaries.

VEC said it would make a final recommendation to the Local Government Minister in early April. Any changes would apply at the next council elections in October, 2012. VEC said it would run public

Bold ambition: Frank Costa and Andrew Senia promote the Icon for Geelong competition. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 72958

480430-TB45-11

Costa ‘vision’ call BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN “STRONG, bold vision” is needed to ensure Geelong achieves an icon worthy of the region, according to leading businessman Frank Costa. Mr Costa has thrown his support behind the Icon for Geelong competition to design a landmark for the city. Mr Costa had his own suggestion: an iconic building providing both an attraction for tourists while serving a practical purpose. “Balfours corner could host a 10-storey building with fantastic views over the bay,” Mr Costa suggested. “The ground floor could be commercial, the council could consolidate in it and the top

floors could be residential. “The current council offices could become an iconic part of the new cultural precinct. Geelong, especially with its projected growth, deserves a cultural precinct of that quality.” Mr Costa declared Geelong was on the “cusp of going from good to great” with its lifestyle “second to none”. “Having an icon that gets us recognition throughout Australia and internationally would be of great benefit,” he said. “Coming up with the right icon would be the challenge but holding a competition like this certainly helps shape our thinking.” Mr Costa lauded a recent

funding announcement for Geelong Library and Heritage Centre as well as council’s nomination of foreshore land near Limeburner’s Point for a city conference and exhibition centre. “The conference centre could be pretty sensational and there might be opportunities to link an icon in with it,” he said. “We need to canvass a lot of people around Geelong to try to get an icon that’s not just outstanding but also practical; one that’s viable going forward. “Some of the ideas proposed so far are fantastic but could be costly in the future. We have to be careful we don’t indebt future generations.” Mr Costa said the Icon for

Geelong competition offered the region the opportunity to “make a real statement”. “There are a lot of good ideas and it’s amazing what a competition like this might flush out,” he said. “It gives everyone an opportunity to have their say.” Leading Geelong law firm Senia Lawyers is offering a $10,000 cash prize for the winning design. A competition design brief is available at geelongindependent.com.au/iconbrief. Where to send entries Mail: Icon for Geelong, PO Box 407, Geelong, 3220 Email: icon@geelongindependent.com.au.

Wholesaler snaps up chain before liquidation

in brief

Firm in Power battle GEELONG clothing wholesaler Stage II is battling a liquidator over the $800,000 value of a recently acquired retail chain, according to an online business website. Stage II “snapped up” four Max Power retail stores just months before the business went into liquidation, SmartCompany reported. South Geelong-based Stage II was also a creditor of the failed retail chain. Stage II confirmed it took over four

Max Power stores in DFO shopping centres in Brisbane, Essendon, Cheltenham and South Wharf around the end of July. But SmartCompany said liquidator Paul Vartelas, of BK Taylor and Co, would investigate the acquisition. “I’ll be knocking on the door first and saying ‘I need more details’,” Mr Vartelas told the website. He said Stage II reduced the amount of debt Max Power owed it as a trade

creditor to take over the chain. But the arrangement could disadvantage other creditors who could miss out on access to as much as $800,000, Mr Vartelas warned. He said the collapse of Max Power was linked to trading difficulties for discount department chain DFO. Stage II co-founder Aaron Pritchard told the website he had yet to contact the liquidator. Mr Pritchard said Stage II believed

its opportunity for future growth in retail lay in plans to open a store in Hobart under a new name, Laundrie. The company also planned to open another Laundrie store in Launceston next month. Mr Pritchard said the Max Power stores could be renamed Laundrie “down the track”. Stage II and Mr Vartelas had not returned calls for comment when the Independent went to press.

A GEELONG business whose unsafe machinery seriously injured three workers over four months must pay a $160,000 fine, according to WorkSafe. The workplace safety watchdog said a Geelong magistrate fined Timbertruss after the workers suffered “crush injuries” working on improperly guarded machines at the company’s Belmont and South Geelong plants.

Road star THE GREAT Ocean Road has starred on television in the UK, according to State Government. Tourism Minister Louise Asher said “popular” television program Daybreak broadcast live from the road this week, showcasing attractions such as the 12 Apostles to an average daily audience of 800,000 viewers.

Truckies’ pay-back TWO GEELONG truckies have won almost $20,000 in back pay following separate investigations, Australia’s Fair Work Ombudsman has revealed. The Ombudsman’s office said a 58-year-old driver was paid $10,700 in over time payments dating back over the past decade, while another man, aged 51, received $8800 in unpaid sick leave entitlements.

Torquay boost A GRANT of more than $23,000 will improve facilities at Torquay Netball Club, according to South Barwon MP Andrew Katos. Mr Katos said the State Government cash would pay for two player shelters and resurfacing of the club’s courts.

Zoo bins to take fishing waste hook, line and sinker BY MICHELLE HERBISON NEW BINS for fishing waste will protect Barwon Heads’ marine life from the dangers of plastic. This week Zoos Victoria donated six “Seal the Loop” bins for Barwon Coast Committee of Management to install in popular fishing spots. Made from recycled plastic collected at Melbourne Zoo, the bins are designed for fishing lines and hooks.

Two will go on Barwon Heads’ pedestrian bridge and one each at Fisherman’s and Ozone jetties, the town’s camping ground and on Riverview estuary trail. Zoos Victoria’s Ben Sanders said marine animals were entangled in plastic every day. “But if we can get to the root of the problem it’s quite easily prevented,” he said. “It’s easy for anglers and anyone on

the coast to put fishing rubbish in the bins.” Mr Sanders said the bins would be clearly signed to educate the community. The bins had collected more than 1.5km of fishing line during a fivemonth trial in Port Phillip Bay last year, he said. The coast committee’s Bob Jordan said land-based fishing had recently increased at Barwon Heads.

“The new pedestrian bridge has become an incredibly popular fishing spot and there has been considerable amount of waste left behind by some fishermen.” Mr Jordan said Barwon Coast encouraged anglers to tidy up after themselves. “If fishing lines and those kind of things get out into the river they can cause problems to marine life.” 1012307-SH45-11

Carbon tax to power job growth, says MP BY MICHELLE HERBISON GEELONG will become the “powergeneration centre of Victoria” under a new carbon tax, according to Federal member for Corangamite Darren Cheeseman. Mr Cheeseman said the tax passed on Tuesday would create thousands of jobs in the region as the state shifted from Gippsland-based coal power to renewable energy in the west. “Our region will benefit more than just about any other region in the country under the carbon tax,” he said. “Thousands of jobs in building and construction, trades and maintenance,

research, design and retail will be created in our own backyard.” Mr Cheeseman said the wind industry already had about $4 billion of investment pending across western Victoria. “For example, the massive investment we’ve made at Deakin Waurn Ponds with a new state-of-the-art carbon fibre manufacturing and research facility will put Geelong right at the leading edge of research and design into carbon fibre. All of the large wind turbines must be made from carbon fibre because it is strong and light.” Mr Cheeseman said Corangamite

residents were starting to understand the region’s “unique” fortune. “We don’t take anything for granted but I think people would concede that Labor winning Corangamite has made a real difference.” Opposition leader Tony Abbott directly attacked Mr Cheeseman over the carbon tax. “This new tax is a blow to the future of businesses in Corangamite and a new burden for families struggling under cost of living increases,” Mr Abbott said. “This tax is as much Darren Cheeseman’s tax as it is Julia Gillard’s.

A GENEROUS donation is helping residents of a North Geelong aged care facility make beautiful music again. Barwon Health’s Percy Baxter Lodges has taken delivery of a piano after matching the donations of Rotary Club of Bayside Geelong and Brian Burch Pianos. The money paid for a new Australianmade Alex Steinbach piano to entertain the Baxter Lodges residents. Facility manager Gayle Dougherty said the donation was a welcome addition, with the lodges’ previous piano past its use-by date. “The residents are impressed,” she said. “Church services and concerts are so much better. It sounds beautiful and more residents are spontaneously playing the piano because it’s an Alex Steinbach.” The residents hosted a concert last Friday to celebrate the new piano, with Geelong Grammar students and volunteer musicians also lending their talents.

SENIA LAWYERS FREE LEGAL CLINIC Cash is king in today’s economy. If you have had any problems collecting a debt you should act very quickly and see us immediately.

All they have done is export jobs and emissions overseas.” Mr Abbott called the passing of the carbon tax through parliament a “blow to the future of business in Corangamite”. Darren Cheeseman had “betrayed his voters”, Mr Abbott said. Liberal Senator Michael Ronaldson said the tax would hit regional communities “first and hardest”. “The carbon tax will just keep driving up the price of electricity, gas and transport, cut international competitiveness for local industry and put local jobs at risk.”

HOUSE prices in Geelong, five times the median salary, underline the need for a building minister in Victoria, according to an industry body. Master Builders Association of Victoria’s Brian Welch said the Government must appoint a building minister to tackle the state’s “housing affordability crisis”. “In 1995 the median house price in Geelong was $93,000, or 2.3 times the median household annual salary. The current median price has jumped to $354,000 and is nearly five times the median salary,” Mr Welch said. “We are calling on the Government to appoint a building minister who would oversee and coordinate reforms that improve housing affordability rather than worsening it.” Mr Welch said land prices in Geelong had further inflamed the affordability crisis. Median Geelong block prices were $37,500 in 1995 but $178,000 in 2011, he said. “We have reached the point where land costs more than the houses we build on it. This should never have happened in Victoria where there is an abundance of land.” The Independent reported earlier this year that houses were less affordable in Geelong than New York or London when measuring prices against average incomes.

Eight years later...

Work to start at ex-club site BY MICHELLE HERBISON REDEVELOPMENT of the former Geelong Golf Club site will finally begin with tree removals next week, according to a Links Living spokesperson. Ron Smith said contractors would begin cutting down old drought-affected Cypress pines and some healthy trees to make way for the 320-lot development and nine-hole golf course in North Geelong. “For every tree we take out we’ll replace it with two native trees,� Mr Smith said. “We need to take a long-term view of things and want to beefup the native Australian environment.� The Independent reported in August that council had approved plans for the 45-hectare redevelopment on the corner of Thompson and Ballarat Rds. Links Living had been negotiating with authorities since it bought the course eight years ago after the former golf club struck financial problems. Mr Smith said replanting would begin in autumn and spring next year. Work on roads and infrastructure would start soon after, he said. “We think we’d be building some parts by the end of next year.� Mr Smith said 200 out of the 320 blocks had been accounted for leaving 120 allotments for sale.

Stumped: Golf club site redevelopment sales manager Ruth Ritchie inspects the land before the start of work next week. Picture: John Conway 73258 Most buyers were people from Geelong, he said. “People thought our development would be baby boomer country but we have a mixed community of young families and couples, professional singles as well as older people.� Mr Smith said the redevelopment plans also included walking tracks and bike paths, two neighbourhood parks, a children’s playground, a picnic shelter, a barbecue, an open lawn area and public seating.

Mr Smith suggested Links Living might reveal additional amenities soon. State Labor Member for Geelong Ian Trezise remained critical of the development. “I believe the demise of the Geelong Golf Club, how its members were treated and how its historical memorabilia was trashed is a blight on this city’s history,� he said. “I for one would never purchase a site or own a home on that site.�

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN DESPITE common perceptions, the trauma rehabilitation unit at North Geelong’s McKellar Centre can be a happy place. “The stories might be sad but we focus on positive outcomes,” Jess Johnston said. Jess and trauma team co-workers Dana Sullivan, Debbie Verikios, Linda Hirst and Angharad Williams make up an inter-disciplinary team dealing with road trauma victims, among others. “We draw support from other members of the team,” Jess explained. Many of the clients who have shared their stories with the Independent for its Shattered Lives series have come to know the team members well. “We see the role as moving forward, we get to see the positives. People do make recoveries,” Dana said. “Often we get people after they’ve grieved and are ready to move on.” The team, all rehabilitation specialists in their own fields, has long experience in working with road trauma clients. “People are learning to readjust and realign their life goals,” Debbie explained. “People usually go through a worstcase scenario before understanding their own goals. “It takes some longer, depending on their level of insight and awareness.”

• Access to Eastern Park Circuit will be restricted from 8.00am to approximately 12.00 noon. Access to Geelong Botanic Gardens will be available via Podbury Crescent. Access to the East Geelong Golf Course and Geelong Conference Centre in Eastern Park will be available via Ryrie Street / Holt Road.

Jess said road trauma clients often reached a point of re-evaluation when faced with the task of rehabilitation. “Many of our clients come to life with a different perspective and priorities afterward,” she said. The team shared a quiet laugh when asked whether dealing with road trauma victims day in and day out gave them pause for reflection. “Life can change in an instant, we do sometimes reflect on that,” Linda admitted, “but most of the time we’re too busy.” Dana said the team worked with families as much as clients, its efforts extending into their work, school and social lives. “Family relationships can change as a result and need adjustment,” she observed. “Sometimes there’ll be multiple injuries from the same family or one family member is killed and others survive. “Guilt is often present, a natural response.” When it came to prevention, the team unanimously agreed that the client had the greatest impact on those around them. “It’s the people and their own connections that has the greatest impact on family, friends, school mates or workmates,” Angharad said. “When people see it close to home, it rings true.”

Gates funds city study of wallaby milk

For the children: Madison Browne looks forward to this month’s Run Geelong. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 73097

529650-SH45-11

Madison on run for hospital BY MICHELLE HERBISON GEELONG national netball star Madison Browne is looking forward to donning her running shoes for charity this month. Browne will compete in Run Geelong on November 20 to help raise money for a refurbishment of Geelong Hospital’s children’s ward. Browne said personal experience had made her deeply aware of the children’s ward’s importance to the community. “I have a close family friend who’s in there at the moment and I’ve been going to see her a lot,” she said. “The staff working in there are amazing.” Browne said she was excited to have the

opportunity to run around Skilled Stadium and through parts of Geelong she had never seen. Cotton On Foundation Manager Tim Diamond said Run Geelong was a unique event donating 100 per cent of proceeds to charity. “The children’s ward is a huge benefit for local families,” he said. “In the past children needing treatment for cancer would have to travel to Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne but now they can receive treatment close to home in dedicated oncology rooms.” Mr Diamond said registrations for Run Geelong were available at www.rungeelong.com.au until 5pm on November 18.

THE WORLD’S richest man will help Geelong researchers try to keep premature babies alive with wallaby milk, according to Deakin University. The university said Bill Gates’ Grand Challenges Explorations had granted $100,000 for Deakin’s work on a food supplement to improve babies’ survival rates. Professor of Bioscience Kevin Nicholas and Deakin’s Waurn Ponds-based Institute of Technology Research and Innovation were trying to unlock the “unique properties” of wallaby milk for helping premature babies survive. Deakin said Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation established Grand Challenges Explorations to fund research into “unorthodox ideas” for addressing health and development problems. Prof Nicholas’s project was one of 110 worldwide to receive Grand Challenges grants. Prof Nicholas said his research would use wallaby milk to identify a “cocktail of human proteins” to help babies absorb nutrients. “We are looking to unlock the unique properties of wallaby milk to guide us in the development of a human supplement that is easy to administer to premature babies, particularly in developing countries.” Prof Nicholas said wallabies provided an “idea model” because of their short gestation, which produced foetus-like newborns. The mother’s milk was the “key to the survival” of the baby, he said. “Much of the growth taking place with the wallaby baby in the mother’s pouch would take place in utero with human babies,” he said. “If we can identify the important signalling factors in wallaby milk we believe we will have the key to creating a supplement to help the growth and development of human babies born premature or underweight.”

Ms Spagnardi said the business would honour the building’s history with the bar named 1856 in honour of the year Customs House was built. “We have also themed the restaurant in old-Victorian style to create a cosy but regal atmosphere.� Ms Spagnardi said the venue would focus on supporting local produce, wines and businesses. “We want to offer somewhere for Geelong people to be able to go where there’s an inviting, relaxed environment with personalised service and quality local produce.� Ms Spagnardi described the cuisine as “a cross between the Stokehouse Melbourne, Number 8 Crown and Rockpool Bar and Grill�.

BY MICHELLE HERBISON A RESTAURANT will breathe new life into the disused basement of Geelong’s historic Customs House, council has revealed. City of Greater Geelong’s Jeff Wall said the basement had been left vacant for years because it needed “significant upgrades�. But the recent completion of the works meant the premises could now come back to life, he said. Customs House’s two upper levels fronting Brougham St were in use but the restaurant would be the waterfrontfacing basement’s first commercial tenant. “Due to the heritage significance of Customs House all modifications to the building’s interior or exterior fabric must have Heritage Victoria approval, including the tenant’s fit out,� Mr Wall said. The plans for the restaurant would be a “great contribution� to the area, he said. Restaurant operator Natalie

Disabled, sick left ‘homeless’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A SHORTFALL in supported accommodation is leaving more than 100 people “basically homeless� in Geelong, according to a human services agency. Karingal chief Daryl Starkey said the disabled and mentally ill people were the “hidden homeless� because they were in inadequate, inappropriate or no housing at all. The problem was spreading with the region’s ageing population as demand for supported accommodation increased, he said. Karingal estimated more than 157 additional people would need supported accommodation in the next seven years because of disability or mental illness. “That survey was done three years ago, so I imagine that number’s only increased,� Mr Starkey said. A state parliamentary inquiry two years ago identified 92 people in the Barwon south-west region in need of immediate supported accommodation, he said. “As parents get older, their ability to care for a child or other family member with a disability gets more difficult. Mr Starkey said people with disabilities or mental illness were often “tucked away in long-term or temporary respite facilities�. “You’ll find them on waiting lists and in insecure or unsafe housing, motels, caravan parks or cabins with no resources and no staff support.� Mr Starkey said Karingal had

Respite needed: Sandra Lovell with son Marcus, 35.

Lovells lost without help BELL POST Hill’s Marcus Lovell has been on a waiting list for supported accommodation for a long time. Now in their 60s, parents Ron and Sandra hope to have Marcus settled “before it’s too late�. “We both have bad backs and no freedom,� Ms Lovell said. “You love your children but our friends are retired and have freedom but we’re stuck in a time zone.�

Ms Lovell said an initial waiting list for Marcus had been abandoned and restarted. “I don’t know whether we’ll ever get there.� Mrs Lovell said the respite facility she depended upon had only six beds. “Sometimes we feel guilty because there’s so much other need in the community but we worry about what’s going to happen.�

launched its first public appeal for funds and in-kind goods to build a respite facility at Leopold. Melaluka would provide respite so people with disabilities could stay home longer before needing supported accommodation. Mr Starkey said Melaluka would provide 2500 nights of respite accommodation annually

for up to 300 clients. Karingal was seeking cash, product and in-kind donations for the project.� Mr Starkey said information about the Melaluka project and how to help was available by phoning on 5249 8919 or visiting karingal.org.au and clicking on the site’s ‘Get Involved’ tab.

Fire warning signs set for bypass trial GEELONG and the Otways will be part of a trial of automated fire safety signs, State Government announced. The Government said it would erect an automated electronic sign displaying fire safety information in Geelong as part of the $300,000 signage pilot project. The sign will be on Geelong’s bypass between Bacchus Marsh and Ballarat roads exits. Police and Emergency

Services minister Peter Ryan said Geelong would be one of 26 locations to help travellers and communities “make informed decisions about fire safety”. He said a trailer-based LED sign would be used in the Otways during the Christmas and summer holidays. “The fixed signs will be placed in hard-to-access locations in high-risk areas and clearly display Fire Danger Ratings (FDR) from

low to moderate fire risk through to code red based upon fire weather forecasts,” Mr Ryan said. “The new signs will use the latest technology including motorised or electronic indicator arrows and LED signs featuring illuminated, variable messages.” Mr Ryan said the fixed signs could be remotely updated and checked to ensure they were operating correctly. The Government would erect

other signs in areas burnt during Victoria’s Black Saturday bushfires and in outer-Melbourne suburbs. “The mobile signs will provide high impact, visible fire safety messages to motorists, holidaymakers and visitors, many of whom may be unfamiliar with local fire risks.” The fixed-sign trial would begin on December 1 and mobile signs trail on December 20, he said.

Sign of the times: One of the automated fire signs to be trialled on Geelong’s bypass.

One of only two barbershop groups in Victoria, the Conchords performed at its first full concert on the Bellarine Peninsula last month at Drysdale’s Potato Shed. Besides traditional barbershop harmony, the Conchords perform ballads, sacred music, show songs and novelty routines, backed by a range of solo performances.

harmonies, meaning without instruments. Novices can even have professional musical training in the style. Every two years a national barbershop convention seeks to idenfity the best choruses and quartets in the country. Geelong’s Conchords was founded in 1996 to sing at nursing homes and wineries. “Many of the founder members of the chorus are still happily singing along with us today,” Chris said. “There’s a camaraderie and sense of fun that exists within the barbershop community.” Chris said the Conchords’ highlight so far was winning a best

TRADITIONAL barbershops have almost disappeared but a form of music they inspired is still going strong. In fact, the national organisation of barbershop quartets is on a membership drive after the recent success of a male quartet on Australia’s Got Talent. Queensland’s Benchmark Quartet hit the news after wowing the show’s judges and audiences. The group reached the finals, with one judge remarking: “You guys are amazing, so fantastic to listen to and I’d love to be part of that group”. Benchmark’s members are part of Australian Association of Men Barbershop Singers, just like Geelong’s Bay City Conchords. Conchord president Chris Crook hopes the recognition will inspire new barbershop singers. Singing in close four-part harmonies as part of a barbershop chorus or quartet provides a particular thrill, Chris said. “The basic requirements are an ability to sing in tune, hold your part and enjoy performing. “You can sing at a relaxed level or choose to participate in more advanced singing groups.” Barbershop features a-cappella

letters Foreshore takover IS IT legal to run a public bar on Crown land? Notices from Bluff Rd invite patrons to a “Cafe Bar” at St Leonards’ yacht club. The foreshore is fenced off with beer signs blocking public right of way. Tables and chairs are laid out on the foreshore and visitors are welcomed to the licensed cafe bar. The extensive club facilities cater for a small number of active members, with the majority of boats using ramps on Bluff Rd. The club has been increasing its concrete footprint for the past two years for the use of a select few. It’s been great to see the buildings refurbished but they do not need to be extended, they are already too large for the few activities on Sundays. Now a public right of way and the beach in front of the club is being turned into a bar. All this is being done by stealth, with no public information, no permits posted. What are the Crown lands and foreshore authorities doing? Is the public land being protected? Do we want a pub on the foreshore? Soon we could have pokies there! This certainly adds to the case for the proposed continuation of the foreshore footpath in front of the yacht club to preserve public access. I hope the footpath is approved soon and that in the meantime the beer and pub signs are taken away. And surely the alcohol license should be for members and bone fide guests.

PLANNING Minister Matthew Guy has decided that, in line with an advisory committee report, section 4C of Geelong’s ring road should be constructed on a proposed alignment next to a railway line but restricted to a two-lane road built on the southern carriageway. The report states: “It would have been a superior process if the amendment had been formally exhibited and contested submissions heard by an external body to the planning authority” and that “it appears the alignment of section 4C was regarded as a relatively minor issue in a very large strategic planning exercise”. Despite its dangerous proximity to a level crossing, 250 opposing submissions and a lack of transparency, the advisory committee did not consider “that the deficiencies are such that they amount to a significant failure of the process”.

About $90 million will be wasted on a road that has been poorly and secretively planned, will become a black spot, won’t provide good access to the Surf Coast and will go nowhere. The Coalition Government’s pre-election promises are worthless unless recommended changes to the previous proposal are implemented. Margarita Kumnick Grovedale

Shire on notice I REFER to an October 25 public notice headed “McAdam Park”, published by Surf Coast Shire. The shire acknowledged in the notice a number of deficiencies in the way it managed residents’ complaints about the content of a report concerning noise from McAdam Park and expressed regret for “the inconvenience residents have experienced as a result of the lengthy process necessary to achieve resolution of this issue”. The matter was conciliated by the Privacy Commissioner. This issue highlights the uncooperative and cavalier way in which the shire has acted toward Barrabool Hills residents, including not just ignoring their views but also restricting their access to relevant information. As a result, residents have been forced to pursue time-consuming freedom of information processes to achieve access that should have been permitted without objection. Hopefully the shire will now reflect on the way it handles requests from members of the community for access to and correction of information and will respond more appropriately to such requests in the future. Lyn George Barrabool

Simple fixes IF ONLY gambling reduction was as easy as the Greens make out; as easy as having a price on it. The Greens and Labor claim to have solved the energy crisis with a price, so why not now throw in a few more bob-a-job ideas . That the Greens’ simplifications are widely welcomed is quite understandable - many people prefer to simplify the problems of others. The Greens’ careless talk and taxing technologies will not work and many of us who know things to be more complex are sick of such silly simplicities getting so much publicity. John Modra Colac

We’ll be visiting your area soon to install smart meters. If you are scheduled to have a smart meter installed you will receive a Victoria Government notification and Powercor letters before your meter is replaced. These letters will tell you when our installers will visit and what is required of you. Generally we will require clear access to your meter. The smart meter installation typically takes 30-60 minutes. Our qualified installer will conduct a safety assessment of your meterboard, advise you if any safety issue is identified and provide advice on how to rectify the problem.

TORQUAY and District Historical Society has lodged an objection to the proposed subdivision of 17-19 Anderson St, Torquay. The sub-division includes a heritage-listed former butcher’s shop and its associated meat-hanging rooms, which together are one of the few buildings in Torquay that survived the 1940 bushfire. The subdivision separates the two buildings, which we feel should be preserved together as a heritage site. While we are not against the sub-division, we would like to see it redrawn with the two heritage buildings on the same site. We also object to the plan for turning the butcher’s shop into a residence. We feel that this violates the integrity of the site. Torquay has very few historic buildings due to the late development of the town and the disastrous 1940 fire. We need to preserve the few that we have got. Spencer Leighton Torquay and District Historical Association

Talkfest tragedy REGARDING CHOGM, what now amounts to just 50-plus members has passed its use-by date, apart from being easy pickings for mining interests seeking to sell off more of the quarry at the low price. While CHOGM played a key role throughout the 1980s in ultimately putting an end to apartheid, which should never be forgotten, other than that its meetings have provided only a convenient distraction time to showcase not-so-hidden agendas. Tragically, Perth’s CHOGM took the cake. If only 20 per cent of Gordon Weiss’s The Cage – The fight for Sri Lanka and the Last Days of the Tamil Tigers can be substantiated, why would CHOGM 2011 admit Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapaksa and further massage his cover-up regime by allowing CHOGM to be hosted in Hambantoto, Sri Lanka?

Year of the farmer NEXT year has been declared the Australian Year of the Farmer to recognise the important contributions of our farmers and those living in rural communities. Coinciding with the recent launch, it was revealed that nearly a quarter of people living in major cities never visit rural Victoria and that most city dwellers who do so visit rural areas less than once a year. Despite Australia’s rich farming heritage, on average those living in the city spend less than four days a year in the country even though most would like to

visit country areas more often. The Australian Year of the Farmer 2012 campaign aims to encourage people to spend more time in the country and to grow ties between the city and rural communities. This celebration of Australian farming will also communicate the importance of farming in our everyday lives and to the Australian economy. The Year of the Farmer will highlight what our farmers do best: feeding the nation, leading the world in farming techniques and innovation and sustaining vital agri-businesses that underpin our economy. I congratulate all those involved with this great initiative and encourage everyone to join in next year in recognising the major contribution rural Australia makes to our everyday lives. David Koch MLC Member for Western Victoria Region

Puppy paydirt WE HAVE learned that State Government will empower the RSPCA, councils and other organisations to raid puppy factories, with consequent penalties and seizure of property and assets. While not condoning puppy factories, the move seems also to be a money grab. As with revenue gained from traffic offences and council-related fees and charges and often-huge WorkSafe industrial fines, little account is made of how much is raised and where the money actually goes. For instance, some years ago Labor AttorneyGeneral Rob Hulls publicly announced that $700 million was owing in unpaid speed and traffic fines. Now we also learn that funding to TAFE colleges will once again be reduced, affecting apprentices and students from all over the state. This is bizarre considering the ever-increasing means and ways councils, which are contractors to State Government, have been dreaming up ways to part us from our money. These schemes are most disconcerting in view of the numbers of services – health and hospitals et cetera – being cut back. Forget about openness and transparency commercial-in-confidence provisions will be sufficient to bring the shutters down on all inquiries. Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

Healthy dose of the Grinch BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THOSE wacky doctors and nurses at Geelong Hospital are back with another Medimime production, this time turning the spotlight on The Grinch. Presented in the classic pantomime tradition, the production offers a modern take on Dr Seuss classic The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Now an enduring anti-Christmas character, the Grinch has also been immortalised in movie form. Bitter and twisted after being exiled from Whoville, the Grinch is determined to ruin Christmas and blame it all on Santa. The Mayor of Whoville, Aunty Nora, Annie and Colin try to save Christmas with the help of Santa, his elves and the Snow Queen and her imps. In the end, though, it might just be sweet Polly Watt’s kindness that melts the Grinch’s frosty heart. Medimime director Dr Liz Lester said the production included lots of modern jokes given the traditional panto treatment. “The music we’ve chosen includes recent material by Beyonce, Rhianna and Katy Perry right alongside old favourites like Let it Snow and Winter Wonderland. “And of course there are lots of well-known and loved Christmas tunes.” Dr Lester said a few of the cast were old hands as panto veterans, with some new additions and a number of child roles also crucial to the story. “We tend to cast the net fairly wide, so anyone connected with Barwon Health or allied health is fair game for us,” Dr Lester laughed. “Friends and family also lend their assistance.

Christmas classic: Medimime’s The Grinch is set to delight audiences at GPAC. “The show is suitable for the whole family and there will be a special visit from Santa during interval – bring along your cameras and a gold coin to have your photo with him.” Dr Lester said proceeds would go to mental health community services. Geelong Hospital staff established Medimime Productions in 1974, with an enthusiastic and dedicated group of volunteers gathering each year to present a pantomime in true English Christmas tradition. Since its conception Medimime has raised more than $300,000 for the hospital. Medimime will present The Grinch from next Friday to November 26 at Geelong Performing Arts Centre.

Vue Grand cleans up its Plates V

ue Grand Hotel has won the top prize in the region’s premier annual awards for dining venues. Hospitality industry legend and Golden Plate Awards judge Rita Erlich announced the Queenscliff hotel as the overall winner during a presentation dinner at Geelong’s The Pier on Monday night. “The Geelong region has stamped its mark as a food and wine destination and it’s a region one can feel proud to be part of,” she said.

ishermen’s Pier is welcoming corporate clients with the release of a new business menu. Owner George Katos says the menu caters for business lunches and corporate functions. “The menu is great for those short on time as there’s the option of ordering ahead.” Patrons can phone, email or fax through their orders to have it prepared in advance. Entrees include: ocean trout ceviche with avocado, daikon, cucumber and lime; seafood chowder with potato, panko mussel and truffle oil; and marinated baby bocconcini with beetroot, raspberry, endive, walnut and chocolate. Mains include: Spanish mackerel with spring vegetable ragout, red quinoa and micro cress salad; Cone Bay saltwater barramundi fillet with broad beans, bacon and smoked potato; and Vegetable Garden with leek, pea, shallot, broad bean, soil, carrots, baby beetroot and goats curd. Desserts include: house-made scone with blood orange jam and vanilla; white chocolate meringue with strawberries, orange pearls and coriander; and chocolate cake with lavender and violet fool, honeycomb, goat’s cheese and marigold. Fishermen’s Pier now also offers a free limousine service for patrons, subject to availability. George says the service takes the pressure out of planning ahead for wining and dining in style. Fishermen’s Pier’s first-class service was recognised in the Golden Plate Awards 2011. The venue was highly commended in the Best Restaurant Fine Dining category, while renowned host Jimmy Avraam walked away with the title of Best Front of House. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week at the bay end of Yarra St, Eastern Beach. For more information phone 5222 4100.

Gordon equips students with industry skills

T

he Gordon’s students learning from leaders in industry, cookery and hospitality before putting their skills into practice in a live training environment. The fully licensed Davidson Restaurant and bistro-style Cafe on Track serve as The Gordon’s own public training venues. The Gordon is renowned for its hands-on teaching style, giving students the benefit of being job-ready upon completion of their course. With specialist courses in both hospitality and cookery, students are offered the flexibility of pursuing careers in either front or back-of-house environments. The courses complement the practical components of hospitality and cookery while covering business-related topics such as human resources, finance, events, management, sustainability, computing, OHS and marketing. Well-respected with the industry, The Gordon’s students are successful in securing careers in only hospitality and cookery as well as events, business management, tourism, catering, sales and marketing, special occasion planning and more. Courses are also not only for beginners to the industry. Anyone employed in the hospitality and cookery industries and with already-attained skills and knowledge can gain recognition and credits toward formal qualifications. Known as Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), the credit is mutually beneficial for staff and employers. Some staff may hold the skills and knowledge that meet the criteria of a full qualification while others may require gap training to cover all competencies of a course. The Gordon makes all training simple for employees, delivering many components of courses at the workplace and customising courses according to business’s skill shortages and requirements. On top of full certificates and diplomas, The Gordon also offers Skill Sets, which are groups of units or competencies taken from a formally recognised qualification. Skill Sets are valuable for employees wishing to up-skill or specialise in a new role. The Gordon is now accepting applications for a new Skill Set titled Barista, which will be an essential qualification for employees in any successful hospitality venue.

N

ewtown’s Café Brioche has extended its operating hours. The People’s Choice nominee in the Golden Plate awards is now also open 9am to 2pm Saturdays and Sundays. Owner David Pollitt says Brioche is serving up a delicious summer salad menu alongside heartier dishes so diners can make choices according to the day. “We’re also taking bookings for Christmas lunches and club break-ups.” A catering and cafe specialist, Brioche offers oldfashioned, homemade meals for all events from long lunches to large weddings. David’s looking forward to wedding season, with his business also fielding bookings “all down the coast” for outdoor catering. “Pop in to discuss your requirements over a coffee.” Brioche’s cafe area can seat up to 50, while 12 guests can be accommodated in a dining room that can be closed off for private meetings. David has spent most of his life in Asia and the Middle East, with his collection of paintings and artefacts imbuing Brioche with exotic multicultural character.

Café Brioche’s David Pollit. Brioche specialises in finger food, tasty morsels, homemade soups and delicious lunches all week. “If patrons are looking for a light and airy cafe minus the loud music with plenty of on-site parking, then Brioche is the go,” David says. David is always happy to field catering enquiries via his email address at david@ brioche.com.au. More information is available by phoning Cafe Brioche, at 175 West Fyans St, on 4208 0441.

Highly Commended Best Fine Dine Restaurant Golden Plate Awards 2011

olden Plate Award judges have praised Shiraaz Indian Restaurant for its authentic Indian food. The judges said the finalist in the Best Restaurant Fine Dining category served food of “high quality with great differentiation of flavours, reflecting an expertise in Indian food that is hard to find”. Shiraaz’s waiting staff also won praise for being “attentive, thoughtful and very polite”. “Shiraaz Innovative Indian Restaurant is a handsome place, well-appointed to make a meal something of an occasion without being so expensive as to make it only for special occasions,” the judges said. Shiraaz owner Ashwani says his staff really care about customers’ needs. “We always ask people what kind of chilli taste they want, it’s very important,” he says. “Some people get scared Indian food is hot but that’s not always the case in our restaurant.” Shiraaz specialises in north Indian and Muglai food as well as a range of delicious cocktails and mocktails.

Shiraaz’s expert chefs create mouthwatering meals. Ashwani says his restaurant has been operating for over four years but many residents are yet to discover its delights. “Nine out of 10 customers say our food is fantastic, so more people should come and try for themselves.”

The Fairies will delight young fans with their new show in Geelong later this month.

Fairies fly in CHILDREN’S favourites Harmony and Rhapsody are stretching their wings and warming up their wands for The Fairies’ eagerly anticipated eighth national stage tour. With new songs, a lively script and beautifully choreographed dancing, The Fairies Christmas Ballet is set to delight the troupe’s young fans. The Fairies creator and stage show director Jen Watts says this year’s production would be a magical, musical extravaganza with some important messages. “The Fairies embody the five

fairy friendship rules of accepting people just as they are, being positive, sharing, showing people you care and taking ownership for your mistakes,” Jen says. “This year’s show will also remind children to appreciate the gifts they receive and to acknowledge the thought behind them. “Harmony, Rhapsody and the entire cast of The Fairies take their positions as role models very seriously and, with Christmas just around the corner, now is the perfect time to remember the true spirit of this special time.” Jen is confident the skills of

The Fairies’ three classically trained ballet dancers will amaze the audience. “While the script and music is clearly aimed at the younger fairy-fans, parents will enjoy the superb choreography and undeniable skill of the performance. “The backdrop to the stage is also spectacular, with an enormous Christmas tree and plenty of lights and special effects for a fanfairy-tastic start to the Christmas festivities.” The Fairies will perform at Geelong Performing Arts Centre in Geelong on November 23.

JAPAN’S loud-as-a-jet-engine rock heroes have included a Geelong date on their Spacebattleshiplove national tour. Garage punk power trio Guitar Wolf will play The National on December 7 as the band makes its way around the country. Legendary Geelong punk act Poppin Mommas and The Dukes of Deliciousness will provide support. Coming off a European and American tour, the manic and pyrotechnical Japanese outfit promised to bring its unique brand of “jet rock” to its only regional gig. Guitar Wolf has released nine

studio albums internationally as well as a live album, numerous singles and a retrospective compilation. The band’s label, Matador Records, claims Guitar Wolf’s 1999 album, Jet Generation, as the loudest CD in history. In other upcoming shows, local three-piece alternative band The Greeting Method will play the Bended Elbow in a one-off gig on November 18. Promoters said The Greeting Method’s unique mix of raw-edge grunge and “prog-rock-style ambient landscapes” had generat-

ed a wide following. The five-year-old unsigned band has supported Birds of Tokyo and Mammal as well as finding time to record original songs. The Greeting Method combines the solid, pulsing bass of Keaton Marin and Adam Zaffarese’s explosive drumming with the mesmerising left-field guitar sounds and elusive vocals of Reagan Lowry. Lowry said a series of line-up changes had delayed the band’s development but it was now refocussed and ready to “expand its horizons”.

Big demand for new EMKAY bras

L

ife as a farmer was the inspiration for Kylie Gibbard’s line of bras catering to the particular demands of women with large busts. Kylie says the years of being “rubbed raw” while working in conventional bras convinced her to find a way of preventing the pain and discomfort of ill-fitting bras. Now she and husband Darrel operate EMKAY, producing and selling bras for busty ladies. Kylie says the response to EMKAY products demonstrates the level of demand among women experiencing pain and discomfort from conventional designs. “It’s typical of women to blame these problems on their body shape. They say ‘I’m just too big around here’ or ‘I’m just wrong in this way’ rather than blame the design of bras that aren’t made to fit correctly. Kylie and Darrel overcame a steady stream of knock-backs and disappointments over several years to develop EMKAY bras. Eventually the couple sourced the right material, secured store contracts and put together a team of seamstresses to start manufacturing and selling their bras to the public.

EMKAY products provide a new lease on life for largebreasted women. Kylie looks back now on the development of EMKAY as a learning experience. “It was very hard to get people to take us seriously. You needed a name before someone would even consider talking to you.” After launching EMKAY in New Zealand, Kylie and Darrel

have brought their products to Australia, with plans to keep expanding around the country. Women who want to find out how EMKAY bras can help change their lives can inspect the range from next Friday at Milanas Lingerie Swimwear Boutique, 125a Pakington St, Geelong West.

eelong Hair Removal has the latest technology in hair removal with the Soprano laser. This new laser is proving to be popular with clients, particularly among men for their back, arms and chest areas. Getting rid of unwanted hair can boost a man’s confidence and self-esteem. The only issue preventing many men from undertaking laser hair removal is perceptions that the procedure is painful. However, Soprano’s trademarked IN MOTION action gently heats the targeted area with pulses of energy that gradually heat the follicles in the skin’s sub dermal layer. While pain tolerance is subjective, many clients describe the sensation as soothing like a hot stone massage. Most laser hair removal technologies utilise large amounts of heat to destroy hair follicles and ensure permanent reduction. But Soprano IN MOTION decreases the pain and minimises the risk of side effects, so numbing cream is not required. Geelong Hair Removal uses only industry goldstandard diode lasers, which are medically classified Grade 4B with a wavelength of 810 nanometres for permanent hair removal. The number of treatments required is significant-

Gutter guards saving homes A

Households across the region should start their planning for the fire danger season now, advises the CFA.

CFA urges fire season readiness

C

FA is urging people to attend local Fire Ready Victoria meetings to ensure they are up-to-date with important information ahead of the fire season. Bushfire community education coordinator Kylie Dixon encourages residents who live, travel and/or work in high-risk bushfire areas to attend one of the free information sessions or workshops. “Research tells us 75 per cent of people living in high-risk bushfire areas don’t have detailed bushfire survival plans, so we’re encouraging people to focus on their plan and to make this year a year for action,” Kylie says.

“Fire Ready Victoria meetings are highly recommended as a first step because they help you understand the basic but essential information you need to stay safe. “Most people find that receiving information face to face from a local presenter is very helpful. They also appreciate the opportunity to ask questions.” Kylie says the meetings are worthwhile even for residents who attended in past years. “CFA presenters and local brigade members will be talking about local bushfire risk and the current outlook based on weather predictions as well as providing updates on community warnings and alerts, fire danger rat-

ings and the new Fire Ready Kit to write your own bushfire survival plan. “Going to a meeting will only take an hour of your time but that hour might save your life.” Brigades are helping organise meetings in many communities, in some cases putting on sausage sizzles and children’s activities. Anyone unable to attend a meeting can obtain bushfire planning information at www .cfa.vic.gov.au, or by phoning a Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667. CFA also runs online bushfire information sessions for participants to access introductory safety information from home.

llClear Leafguard protects homes from fire and flooding. Made from Colorbond steel, Leafguard prevents leaves blocking gutters, which creates fire hazards and the risk of water damage. Ron Lienert developed AllClear Leafguard after 20 years in the home improvement business, including many spent working with other similar products. “I saw a need for a good leafguard and was able to evolve a successful formula,” Ron says. His guard provides protection for properties during bushfire season. “One of the ways home owners can be prepared is by ensuring their gutters are free of leaves and debris that could easily catch on fire, leading to flames to the body of your home.” Because AllClear Leafguard is made from the same material as gutters it won’t melt in fire or perish or become brittle, so it continues stopping embers and burning leaves getting under roofs. “When there are no leaves on the roof or in the gutter there is nothing to burn so the embers just sit and then go out,” Ron says. “Fire prone areas are being urged to get their gutters fitted with metal leafguards to protect against potential bush fires. It is for this reason that the AllClear Leafguard can safely give you an amazing 20-year warranty.” AllClear Leafguard also helps prolong the life of household gut-

AllClear Leafguard is a welcome addition to any home. ters. The product is secured under tile or iron roofs to the front of guttering, so it’s unseen from the ground. Leafguard also aids the collection of clean rainwater by keeping out leaves and other debris. Gutters can still be flushed and cleaned if necessary.

Australian-made AllClear Leafguard has earned recognition as the superior product on the market in most of Australia. More information, obligationfree quotes and advice are available by phoning AllClear Leafguard and Gutter on free-call number 1800 426 607.

APPROVED OVED CA CARS

We’ve just completed our first week-long test of the Falcon EcoLPI and have come away most impressed with its smooth running. The engine has a sweet feel and responds very quickly to throttle inputs. The engine starts just as easily as a petrol unit due to the use of a clever system that starts to prime the fuel system the moment you open the door. The priming can take up to six seconds in extremely hot conditions, though four seconds is the more normal time, so by the time you’ve settled into the car the engine is ready to start. As well as the completely new engine system, the LPG Falcon also has a six-speed automatic transmission, replacing the ancient four-speed used until now. The 120-litre gas cylinder can only be filled to about 93 litres as space must be left for expansion of the liquid into gas form. The Falcon EcoLPi range runs purely on LPG, it’s not a dual-fuel system. This is to avoid the compromises of having to tune the engine for two different fuels, and the need for two fuel ‘tanks’. Forward planning, by way of getting a list of service stations with LPG is suggested before going into remote areas, but the same applies to petrol and diesel.

BY ERIC BLAIR he name’s a bit of a mouthful – Ford Falcon EcoLPi – but the latest LPG-powered Falcon is one of the most technically advanced in the world. While most people associate LPG (liquid petroleum gas) with taxis and other commercial users, it is also growing as the green fuel of choice for many private motorists. Not only is it cleaner burning than petrol, but are also government incentives to make it economically worthwhile. Firstly, under the federal government’s LPG Vehicle Scheme, buyers can claim a $2000 grant when they purchase a vehicle powered by LPG.. This will almost cover the additional cost that the EcoLPi costs on top of the petrol-powered Falcon. Secondly, LPG generally costs around half the price of petrol, mainly because of the lower excise on LPG. Models sold with the new EcoLPi setup are Falcon XT, G6, G6E and XR6 sedan, and Falcon XL, R6 and XR6 utes. We won’t go deeply into technical details of the Ford engine here, other than to say the new system injects LPG as a liquid into the cylinder ports. This gives significantly better efficiency than introducing the fuel as a gas. The result is a clean engine that produces slightly better power and torque figures than the standard Falcon sixcylinder engine running on super unleaded petrol. We’d strongly recommend any potential buyers to open the boot before making their purchase decision because the 120-litre LPG cylinder is located under the boot floor meaning the full-size spare tyre can’t be mounted under the floor. The limited space around the wheel really restricts usage and most buyers are likely to opt for either a puncture repair and inflation kit or a spacesaver spare.

Julieanne O’Farrell wanted to get back into the workforce after raising her family. Having left school in year 8, the Hamlyn Heights mum did not feel confident that she would be successful at further study. Despite her fears, she was happy to find the support she needed at Diversitat Training and enrolled in Certificate III in Aged Care and Home & Community Care. “The course was great; I could study at my own pace and the lecturers really helped me throughout the course, particularly when I needed some extra help with literacy and numeracy issues...It made me feel really good about myself and what I was achieving.�

Mrs O’Farrell was offered two positions on the same day after completing her certificate. She now works in home and community care at the City of Greater Geelong and believes that training at any age can help make the difference to developing a successful career path. Diversitat is one of the leading providers of training in Geelong. The next Certificate III in Aged Care and Home & Community Care at Diversitat will commence in Feb, 2012.

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE just 112 at 53 overs. Chris Jones was the destroyer with five scalps for just 22 runs from 20.1 overs. Eleven maidens were testament to his accuracy and pressure. Three run outs certainly didn’t help the Sharks cause but 20 late runs from Adam Marsland did make their total more defendable. No one could have predicted what happened next when Marsland and Kent Agg reduced the visitors to an amazing 5/6 to get their side right back in it. St Albans Breakwater finished day one at 8/62, still 50 runs shy of its target. Agg has the amazing figures of 5/12 from eight overs and would love nothing more than to wrap this up quickly tomorrow with a seven-wicket haul. The division three match of the round ebbed and flowed all afternoon as Modewarre set about posting a competitive total for Little River to chase down. The Redbacks were on top early, reducing Modewarre to 3/30 before Tyler Wemyss and Scott Hovey produced fine innings of 34 and 62 respectively. But Sam Reidy kept plugging away for Little River, snaring four-middle order wickets. A late flurry from Ray Edwards Jnr helped his side to 231. Little River faced nine overs and reached 2/30 by the close of play. Both sides will be looking to start well tomorrow. It looks like this game will go right down to the wire.

IT SEEMED like everyone who owns a boat was on the water last weekend, with plenty of quality snapper landed in Corio Bay. The better captures were generally taken from within the channel instead of on its banks, with baits cast well into the deep returning the best results. Darren Shoals and brother Paul had no trouble taking their bag limit catch of big fish, finding snapper to 6.5kg on two outings near Wilson Spit. The best action was early morning or late in the evenings. Shaun Burke found fish in the channel off Clifton Springs, including a ripper of 9.1kg taken on pilchard. Soft plastics anglers fished the spoil grounds off Hermsley for good numbers of smaller snapper but the pike were so thick that getting a lure to the bottom was almost impossible. I landed pike over 3kg from this location. Anyone looking for pike troll the inshore grass beds between Alcoa and Clifton Springs. Alcoa Pier has held salmon for the past fortnight, with the best results on small, baitfish-profile soft plastics cast under the pier. Early morning has seen the most activity. Dean Fiddes caught a 5.95kg fish on his first session trolling for snapper off Clifton Springs. Paul Jeffries caught a pair of 3kg each trolling the same area. Anglers chasing whiting had a ball close in to Bird Rock where the fish averaged 33cm. Similar size whiting were available from the quarries to Point Wilson, while bigger specimens were taken from St Leonards to Queenscliff on fresh squid. Anglers fishing just inside Swan Bay found quality salmon, with Gary Wright catching a dozen to almost 2kg on soft plastics. Trevally were also biting in Queenscliff’s cut where soft plastics accounted for the better captures. Xavier Fitzpatrick caught and released 12 fish to about 1.5kg on Turtleback worms. Danny Shorten reported that squid were available at Bell Reef. Fishing the low tides he took plenty of smaller squid on 2.5 Yamashita jigs in the deep version. Black Rock produced reasonable numbers of small snapper and quality whiting for land-based anglers using squid strips

profile lures. Tommy caught about 20 salmon, many better than 1.5kg. Salmon were also taken a little further down the coast at Devil’s Elbow. Freshwater angling remained consistent, with Deep Lake producing rainbows from just over 1kg to almost 2kg. Lake Tooliorook slowed a little over the past two weeks but is still ideal for family fishing. Five-year-old Ellie Gibson showed her dad up recently with a couple of big rainbows on Powerbait. Seven-year-old Tyler Stirling also caught two rainbows while fishing with his grandfather. Lake Elingamite returned trout and redfin, the latter providing some awesome fun. With some over 2kg, the redfin were willing to nail a Rapala X Rap 4 lure. Redfin also continued to be available from the Barwon River upstream of Buckley Falls. Despite the discoloured water, the use of blade-style lures will still stir the fish up to bite. Carp have also been readily available around Queen’s Park, with berley essential.

GEELONG Cricket Club’s crucial match with Campberwell Magpies is evenly poised after the Cats dismissed their hosts for 299 last week. It was a hard slog but the Cats stuck to their task, with just one half century on the opposition batting card testament to their patience. Jeremy Hart led the way as he does so often with 4/78 from a marathon 30-over stint. Sam Scannell supplied support with 2/37 from 17 overs, while Meyrick Buchanan took 2/34. Geelong was forced to face two overs to finish the day and lost Alex Stanley in disastrous circumstances to finish at 1/0. Dom McGlinchey is due for a big score but Tom Elliott could hold the key as one batsmen capable of a match-winning innings. In Geelong Cricket Association, North Geelong well and truly has the upper-hand in its crucial division one clash with Manifold Heights at Osborne Park. The Sharks won the toss and elected to bat first last Saturday in a decision that backfired quickly for the visitors. Magpie opening pair Brad Scown and Shaun Kingwell went to work destroying the Manifold Heights top order for 6/23 in no time. Veteran Craig Booley set about restoring some pride with a fine innings of 39. Jacob Gillam provided support with an unbeaten 30 to help the side to a slightly more respectable 124. Scown finished with 3/29, while Kingwell went one better at 4/29. North had 19 overs to begin its chase, doing so with a minimum of fuss to reach 1/71 at stumps and Sam Hall and Andrew Fergusson looking ominous at the crease. In the top-of-the-table division two clash at Richmond Crescent, St Albans Breakwater got off to a great start when it bowled out Geelong City for
