A Chinese-owned energy company will employ 87 staff at its new Australian retail headquarters in Geelong, State Government has announced.

The government took credit for making the jobs boost “possible”, with Regional Development Minister Jaala Pulford officially opening the office yesterday.

“The Andrews Labor Government has worked closely with Tango Energy to facilitate its relocation to Geelong to start a new chapter for the company and create jobs in Geelong,” Ms Pulford said.

Lara MP John Eren described the move as a “vote of confidence for the way Geelong does business”.

“It means more local jobs and opportunities for our region,” he said.

Tango Energy Australia, the retail arm of Pacific Hydro, relocated its headquarters to a heritage building in North Geelong’s Federal Mills Park.

HQ’s 87 jobs

From page 1 China’s State Power Investment Corporation bought Pacific Hydro in 2016 through a subsidiary after obtaining approval from the Australian Government’s Foreign Investment Review Board. The corporation has $131 billion in assets and a presence in 36 countries.

Pacific Hydro’s operating assets in Australia abate more than 1.2 million tonnes of greenhouse gas pollution annually, according to the company’s website.

The State Government expected the move to support 87 full-time equivalent jobs in Geelong by 2021, with the company relocating five of the employees from Melbourne.

Energy Minister Lily D’Ambrosio welcomed the company to Geelong.

“We know how important companies like Tango Energy are in creating new jobs in Geelong - but also in helping Victorians get a better deal on their energy bills.”

The move would see the company invest in a new online billing and customer service system, which would likely create more jobs, a State Government statement said.

The Labor Government supported Tango Energy’s relocation through its $500 million Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Fund.

The fund had created and retained more than 4600 jobs and leveraged $1.2 billion in investment through 355 projects across regional Victoria, according to the statement.

The announcement followed revelations this week that a Chinese property developer appeared beside Premier Daniel Andrews on a government trip to China soon after donating more than $50,000 to the Labor party.

During the 2016 Mr Andrews met with Guo Jing Chen, who once said Australia “couldn’t survive” without Chinese migrants, the Herald Sun reported.

Mr Andrews has labelled the story a “joke“.

Pacific Hydro established Tango Energy as its retail arm in 2014.

By Luke Voogt A national TV series has come to Leopold with the producers of Counter Play filming at Point Campbell House this week.

The show is the brainchild of executive producer Chrys Phillips and daughter Mikaela Phillips, who also plays lead female character Faith Morgan.

“Filming in Geelong provided us with the unique backdrop for the coastal town of South Point and the cast and crew thoroughly loved filming there,” Chrys said.

The elegance and opulence of Campbell Point House was the perfect fit for the characters of the show, she said.

“Owners Meg Blackhall and Aaron Parkhill were very accommodating and supportive of our filming. The cast and crew will never forget the uniqueness of filming on their estate.”

The mum and daughter team started the

show about a year ago as a web series, which grew to accumulate 1.5 million views online.

Channel Nine has purchased two seasons of the series, which will appear on the network later this year.

The cast includes 14-year-old Ocean Grove actress Trinity Marell. It’s the first big role for the local teen, who is one of youngest members of the cast.

Crys and Mikaela produced show independently without assistance or funding from screen guilds or incentives, according to the show’s promoters.

Filming for the series wraps up mid-March.

The iconic Campbell Point House is no stranger to real-life drama.

The courts ordered the owners of the house to pay back Vanessa Lui and Mohan Du’s $5875 deposit last October, following a civil dispute over wedding plans.

IN BRIEF

Libs vow CBD cops

By Luke Voogt A police shopfront will crack down on crime in central Geelong if the coalition wins November's state election, the shadow police minister has announced.

Edward O’Donohue visited Geelong on Thursday to unveil a $7.2 million state-wide plan to introduce 12 police mall shopfronts, including one in Westfield.

The infamous Little Malop Street Mall was about 500m from Westfield but the shopfront would allow more police patrols to the location, Mr O’Donohue said.

“Ultimately it will be a matter for the Chief Commissioner but our intention is this will be a base from which to patrol. This will put them in proximity to the mall.

“There’s no doubt that a visible police presence is a strong deterrent to criminal behaviour and allows a quick response to incidents that take place.”

Nearby traders have regularly complained about crime in the area, mostly involving youths, following a series of brawls and assaults during the past few years.

“If traders are reporting it it’s very concerning and frankly it shouldn’t be that way,” Mr O’Donohue said.

“When I’m talking to people they say the police are great but they rarely see them.”

Sworn Victoria police officers would man the shopfronts and gather intelligence from local traders while patrolling, Mr O’Donohue said.

He was unable to specify where police would locate the shopfront.

“We’ll settle the location with the centre management once we’re in government.“ Mr O’Donohue said the opposition was committed to reducing crime in Geelong.

“That’s one of the reasons when we were in Government last time we expanded the CCTV network in Geelong's CBD.”

But Police Minister Lisa Neville said the Andrews Government had already announced armed protective services officers (PSO) for Victorian shopping centres.

The government would fund 3135 new police over the next four years to keep public spaces safe, including shopping centres, she said.

“Our new 3135 police can be deployed wherever the Chief Commissioner sees fit.”

Ms Neville the government had funded 300 new officers, including 10 for Geelong.

“Police are already patrolling in and around shopping centres in Geelong and the mall where locals know that most issues occur.

“Police monitor CCTV cameras around Geelong to ensure police members are where they need to be to increase safety across the whole city.”

Stabbing mystery Two pairs of men with stab wounds and “assault-related injuries” have arrived separately at hospital after a “mysterious incident” in Geelong, according to police.

The first pair arrived at hospital around 9.15pm Monday before the other two turned up a “short time later”, with police describing their injuries as non-life-threatening.

PO deferred Councillors have deferred plans to sell heritage-listed Geelong Post Office, revealing that City Hall still owes State Government $670,000 after buying the building with an interest-free loan in 1996.

Cr Jim Mason successfully moved the deferment motion after a request from community members at Tuesday night’s council meeting.

Ablett ‘fit’ Geelong Cats have downplayed concerns over returned star Gary Ablett’s hamstring strain, saying he is “confident” of playing the club’s second JLT pre-season match after missing the first.

Ablett left training early last week before the club confirmed on Monday that he had suffered a “minor strain”.

Nine arrested A campaign that identified 20 local people wanted on warrants has led to nine arrests so far, according to Geelong Police.

Police and Crime Stoppers welcomed the result of the campaign, which first appeared on the Indy’s front page last month, but called on the public to continue helping locate offenders.

Blazing grasslands Over 17 hectares of Lara grasslands will go up in flames today to prevent dangerous fires, according to Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMV).

Residents from Geelong to Werribee might see or smell smoke from the “planned” burn to reduce grassfire hazards and protect neighbouring land-users, said FFMV’s Jasmine Filmer.

Funding fight

Brooke’s big book battles beastly bullies

By Luke Voogt Wandana Heights' Brook Blaney is on a quest to win a publishing contract after writing a book to take on schoolyard bullies.

“My dream is to find someone who will publish it,” the 12-year-old said.

“I believe this book should be available in all primary schools.”

Brooke’s book The One That Was Different tells the story of April, who the other characters bully because of her orange hair.

Her own struggles against bullies had inspired the character, the grade six student revealed.

“They’d call me an orangutan and they’d pretend to catch me like an endangered species,” she said.

But she and some classmates stood up to the bullies.

“Some other people told the teacher when they saw it happened,” she said.

Brooke used fingerprints to tell the story of April who, like her, overcame her tormentors.

“My story has an important message about stereotyping,” she said.

“April finds out everyone is different in their own way.“ Brooke presented the book at a school exhibition night and the positive reaction gave her confidence to pursue her dream of being a published author.

“I like coming up with all the characters and how they each have their own story. I can express my ideas and I can give people messages in my books.”

Geelong’s federal MPs have brawled over education after Labor’s Richard Marles accused the coalition of costing local schools $12 million when it broke an election promise to match a Labor funding package.

Liberal MP Sarah Henderson hit back, accusing Mr Marles of “blatantly” misleading the public because the coalition only ever committed to matching the first four years of Labor’s “pie in the sky” six-year plan.

Coaching women The “phenomenal” growth of elite women players in traditionally male-dominated sports needs a matching increase in female coaches, according to a Geelong scientist.

Dr Fraser Carson said his surveys of hundreds of coaches at Deakin University’s Centre for Sport Research revealed a lack of women in coaching roles, not only in AFL but also for rugby, cricket and soccer.

Burglars take Cats’ alcohol Two alleged burglars have raided the home of the Cats twice the in same day, according to police.

But the pair has investigators hot on the heels after security cameras caught them during their pre-season plunder, which included stealing "a large amount" of booze. Police posted the images on social media this week, appealing for public health to identify both "unknown" men.

The pair first jumped a “large gate” to enter a seating area at Kardinia Park stadium between 8pm and 9.46pm on 31 January, police alleged.

The men then “walked around the stadium trying door handles until they found a locked door”, police said. “(The) offenders removed various items from the room utilising (a) hospitality trolley to transport items down an internal lift (before) leaving via one of the gates,” police said.

The same alleged offenders then returned around 11.30pm, entering through gate 15.

The pair entered the stadium’s Bruce Moore and Fred Flanagan rooms before stealing “a large quantity of alcohol and an IPAD that was fixed to the wall”, police said.

Investigators asked anyone with information to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, quoting 180047765.

FURIOUS: Geelong Timzone director Sebastian Loader believes Molap Street works have cost him thousands. (Rebecca Hosking) 178251

Traders enraged as Malop closes again Halong Cafe owner Kim Duong said the previous closure had been tough on her business.

“There was nobody walking past - people don’t want to go into a construction zone to shop.” But City Hall investment and attraction director Brett Luxford touted the latest works as a “historic rebuild”.

“This work will provide a new lease of life for Malop Street - one of Geelong’s oldest thoroughfares,” Mr Luxford said.

“I encourage the community to continue to shop and do business during the construction.

You might also get a glimpse of history in the making.” Resurfacing and patching of Malop Street since the road’s first sealing in 1944 had raised the surface up to 60cm in some parts, Mr Luxford said.

“We are basically having to pull off years of band aids and rebuild the road from scratch.”

The latest works will see Molap Street closed to road traffic from Moorabool Street to Yarra Street until the middle of this year.

The latest two works cost ratepayers and taxpayers $8 million and are part of the City’s Green Spine project to connect Johnstone Park to Eastern Park through a linear garden.

“There’s nothing like it anywhere else in Australia,” Mr Luxford said.

By Luke Voogt Stunned traders vented their fury as Geelong’s council again shut Malop Street to traffic on Thursday, three months after reopening the road. The last two-month closure cost Geelong Timezone tens of thousands of dollars, according to managing director Sebastian Loader.

“The irony is I got my rates notice in the middle of all this for $20,000 - I reckon they’ve taken at least that off my top line,” he said. The business relied heavily on free parking in Malop Street after 5.30pm, which the previous closure denied to customers, Mr Loader explained.

“Our industry is in a boom time at the moment and it’s certainly been a handbrake on our growth.” Mr Loader described the latest works as unnecessary and believed local businesses deserved compensation.

“We had foot traffic - it wasn’t broken,” he said. “(The City) might say there was consultation with us but there was no consultation.“ “For what they are spending on this they could have a tram from here to Eastern Park.”

Mr Loader suggested City Hall bureaucrats were more concerned “about their resumes” than fixing “real problems” like the Moorabool Street bus interchange or the infamous Little Malop Street Mall. “I’ve been here 20 years

DUST ZONE: Kim Duong says the latest Malop Street construction works will deter shoppers.

“Our concern is that they are not worried about the CBD but that they are concerned about their next job.” He urged locals to keep shopping in the street. “We’re still here,“ he said.

Emily Hutchison, who owns clothing shop Hutch Store, said she just wanted the works “over and done with”.

“We had some days (during the closure) last year where people just didn’t come into the store,” she said.

“You can’t rush (this) kind of thing but we would have liked it done sooner.”

Awards open Geelong’s premier business awards have launched for 2018, with the Indy again signing on as print sponsor. Organisers called for entries to this year’s Deakin University Geelong Business Awards after the official launch last night.

The 2018 awards would again feature a variety of categories to suite local businesses of various size and sector, said Geelong Chamber of Commerce. “Winning an award can open up many new opportunities and will position your business as a leader in your field,” a chamber spokesperson said.

The chamber would host an awards information expo today and a further two on 9 and 22 March, with more information available at gbea.com.au.”

Geelong Indy managing editor Tony Galpin was rapt to support the awards again after the Indy’s first year as a sponsor helped the chamber achieve record nominations in 2017.

“Nominations tripled on the year before, when the Indy wasn’t print media sponsor. We look forward to an even better result in 2018.”

Next week’s Indy will include a special feature with more awards information.

North health funding plea Mayor Bruce Harwood has turned up the heat on higher governments to match council’s funding commitment for a new $61.6 million health centre in northern Geelong.

The governments “must” share the cost after council’s previous state-appointed administrators committed City Hall to providing $20.6 million, Cr Harwood said.

Council was unable to alone cover all the cost of the Northern ARC Health and Wellbeing Hub, he warned.

“They (state and federal governments) haven’t done enough in helping the council with the health and wellbeing of people in northern Geelong,” Cr Harwood said. “I acknowledge there has been funding for various organisations and projects, such as the ring road and port, but (the governments) need to provide more strategic funding at the grassroots level, particularly for the Northern ARC hub.”

Council this week awarded a tender to begin design work on the hub, which would include consulting suites for health professionals, occasional child care, a gym, multi-purpose spaces and three pools, one for hydrotherapy.

The hub would sit alongside a proposed $33 million Barwon Health-North hospital facility, whose development is tied to the ARC centre.

The Andrews Government announced in 2015 that construction of Barwon Health-North would begin in 2016 and finish in 2017 but the

project remains in planning stages with the ARC hub as it awaits full funding.

Advocates for the northern suburbs have demanded hospital facilities for over a decade, noting the north’s adverse health outcomes. City Hall last year confirmed that the northern suburbs had “poorer health outcomes” than Geelong and state averages.

Cr Harwood vowed to ensure council’s business case and funding applications were “spot on and ready to go”.

“I’m working on that to see where they’re at.”

A spokesperson for the Labor State Government suggested Cr Harwood’s comments were political, saying “we will not be lectured to by the Liberals”.

“We’re getting on with building the Barwon Health North facility to give local families the care they need, closer to home,” the spokesperson said.

Federal Liberal Member for Corangamite Sarah Henderson said council had missed opportunities for funding from Canberra.

"Of the three projects for which council is seeking funding under the current round of the Building Better Regions Fund this project was not included, which is disappointing, she said.

"I urge council to consider the Regional Growth Fund, due to open shortly, which will provide a minimum of $10 million to support major infrastructure projects."

DOUBLE TAKE INFORMATION EXPO #2

A group of ‘60s throwbacks must have thought they were still hallucinating when they gathered for a movie about the US’s Woodstock hippie festival on Saturday night.

Graeme Houghton was hosting the crowd of around 20 at his The Door Gallery, in Fyansford Mill, on Saturday night when in walked Geelong’s Kaz Caldwell with a strangely familiar older bloke.

Graeme said two women in the audience were “thrilled beyond words” when they realised he was one of their long-time idols, Ric Lee, the drummer from legendary English blues rock band Ten Years After.

With eight top-40 albums in the UK during the ‘60s and ‘70s, the band is also remembered for Ric’s brother and band guitarist Alvin arriving at Woodstock by helicopter before running straight on stage.

Now that’s how to rock!

Meanwhile, Ric stayed for the movie, smiling as he watched Ten Years After play the Woodstock stage.

“How freaky was that,” Graeme wondered.

“I was there standing next to Ric Lee and watching him on stage back 50 years ago. It was just amazing.”

Graeme explained that Ric was in Geelong for a

funeral.

As his sister-in-law, Kaz suggested a night out at the local Woodstock movie, to which Ric happily agreed.

“He’s 72 and the band’s still touring. We were just blown away he turned up,” Graeme marvelled.

Old rockers might never die, but they certainly turn up in the least-expected places!

A local job-creation program devised to assist the region’s most-disadvantaged areas is growing in unlikely directions.

G21 Region Opportunities for Work (GROW), this week branched out somewhat beyond initial target suburbs in Geelong’s north and east to arrive on the relatively affluent Surf Coast.

Even Surf Coast Mayor David Bell seemed to recognise the paradox of his shire signing up to a program for disadvantaged job-seekers despite bragging one of the region’s lowest unemployment rates.

“While we currently have a low unemployment rate, we know that more employment opportunities need to be created to match our population growth,” he explained.

Hopefully some of those opportunities extend to the initial focus of the GROW program.

Anzac Day’s hike ‘threat’

By Luke Voogt

ANZAC PRIDE: Larissa Zanardo with her award-winning art (Rebecca Hosking) 178220

Larissa in steps of Diggers etry and painting in an artwork depicting the futility of war.

“It has the war in the background, a grenade exploding, and men fighting and dying, with a tombstone in the foreground,” she said.

Larissa drew inspiration from American novelist John Steinbeck, who described was as "a symptom of man’s failure as a thinking animal”.

“War has the ability to turn people into something they are not, brutally taking away everything we love and ending in sorrow,” she said.

“We can only hope that humans have developed and learnt from their mistakes.”

Larissa will represent Victoria on an allexpenses study tour of Darwin and Singapore during holidays.

HISTORY: A military re-enactment group member performs. (Lightreaver Photography) The club applies for six of the permits a year for events such as the Torquay Anzac Day Dawn Service, he said.

“It would put an incredible strain on us.

“If the current government approves the proposed fee increases this important tradition would very likely come to an end.”

The fee would put a dint in the club’s fundraising efforts for local RSLs, Lions Clubs and other local groups.

“We simply can’t let this happen.”

Mr Boulter said Police Minister Lisa Neville had assured him re-enactment groups would be exempt from the permit fee.

“As yet we have not seen anything in writing though,” he said.

But Ms Neville had yet offer assurances regarding Category D and E licences, he said.

The fee for category D and E firearms will rise from $253.40 to $367.50 for three years under the proposed changes.

The group does not use live ammunition.

Larissa Zanardo will travel to Darwin and Singapore to experience firsthand the conditions in which Australian soldiers fought and died thanks to her Anzac Day fascination.

The Wandana Heights teen was one of 22 students to receive The Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize this month, and the only recipient from western Victoria.

“On Anzac day I feel an emotional pang in my chest,” said the Sacred Heart College year 11 student.

Larissa’s enthusiasm to explore Australia’s wartime history drove her “to constantly dig deeper” into books and letters, and travel to the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne.

“The most valuable and enlightening sources were letters from the Smythe family who served in WWI,” she said.

Larissa used her research to combine po-

A specialist firearm licence fee hike could “severely limit” Anzac Day traditions in Geelong, according to a local re-enactment club.

An increase of $114.10 for Category D and E firearm licences would prevent some members of the Geelong Military Re-enactment Group from commemorating the fallen, according to club president Jason Boulter.

“It would severely limit our ability to put on a realistic display. The ceremonial work we do is very important to us and to the communities we perform for because it provides context.“ About a dozen club members had the licences, which allowed them to use some of the same weapons as Australian soldiers in years past, Mr Boulter said.

“Category D and E firearms are rare and expensive and many of our members holding these licences don’t own a firearm of this type.”

Some members held the licenses solely for ceremonies and would be forced to relinquish them under the fee hike, Mr Boulter said.

Victoria had about 50 Category D and E licence holders, mostly re-enactors, he said.

“They’re extraordinarily difficult licenses to get and understandably.”

The licence categories covered semi-automatic and automatic rifles, allowing club members to operate weapons such as Australian soldiers' Vietnam rifle.

Mr Boulter was also concerned by the State Government’s plan to introduce a $413 fee for Populous Place Permits.

Goat-fighters hit City Hall

By Luke Voogt About 200 protesters gathered at City Hall on Tuesday night as a No Nuchev campaign petitioned council against a planned Lara goat farm.

Group leader Bronwen Baker vowed to continue campaigning until the permit for the 4500-goat farm was overturned.

“We won’t stop until VCAT cancels this 10-storey goat factory,” the Animal Justice Party member said.

The protesters gathered on the steps of City Hall, occasionally chanting “no to Nuchev” before formally presenting their 2400-strong petition to council inside.

The campaigners took up the majority of question time, querying the consultation of Lara residents prior to Geelong’s administrators issuing a permit for the farm in 2016.

Leanne Rupene cried as she shared her fear that Q fever could be fatal to her children - especially one with a heart condition.

“I have a one-year-old with a hole in his heart,” the tearful mother said.

“I want to know how you can 100 per cent guarantee our children will be safe from Q fever.”

Q fever can cause flu-like symptoms, and sometimes pneumonia and chronic fever in humans.

But one protester argued the disease could be fatal to the elderly, vulnerable and children, and said children could not be vaccinated.

The Federal Department of Health recommends against vaccinating children under 15 against Q fever because there is no safety data on the vaccine for that age group.

Other protesters questioned the proposed farm’s proximity to nearby dwellings.

Geelong Mayor Bruce Harwood acknowledged the “large and passionate crowd” but

NOT KIDDING: Bronwen Baker leads Lara protesters against a planned goat farm. (Luke Voogt) 178247 said council was unable to form a position without receiving further advice.

“I have put the directors on notice for the information we need.”

Windermere Ward councillor and Lara resident Kylie Grzybek said she had heard the campaigners “loud and clear” after receiving about 250 emails leading up to the meeting.

“This has been the biggest gathering in Lara community we can remember,” she said.

“I promise to make you voice heard.”

The crowd was mostly respectful, until Animal Justice Party member Andy Meddick asked which “higher authority“ council would

seek advice from, stating the residents had a right to know.

Cr Harwood reiterated that council was unable to provide information at this point, to the jeers and boos of the crowd.

“That’s all the information we are going to provide tonight,” City Hall chief executive officer Kelvin Spiller added bluntly.

The number of campaigners was so great council security turned some away at the door due to fire safety precautions, according to Ms Baker.

Council will respond to the petition at an ordinary meeting on 27 March.

“We’ll be there to hold them to their word,” Ms Baker said.

“I was proud of Lara - they did well that night.”

The company behind the proposal, Nuchev, said it applied strict monitoring to its herd and stringent management plans for Q fever.

Nuchev stated the farm posed no greater risk to Lara residents than Q fever occurring naturally in the local environment.

“Our regular testing regime has never found any incidence of Q Fever in our goat herd,” a statement on the company’s website reads.

Helping disabled surf again Ocean Grove Disabled Surfers Association is searching for volunteers to put smiles on dials for its last event of the summer on Sunday.

The event would be a chance for people with any disability to experience the rush of riding a wave, said association vice president Dave Renton. “We get a buzz out of helping people that have never surfed before,” he said.

“Most of them haven’t been able to enter salt water or participate in water sports their whole life.” About 150 volunteers had registered for the event by Monday afternoon, to help about 80 participants hang ten, Dave said.

“Last time we had about 230 volunteers we’d really like to have that number again.

“We need big numbers to run our program we have twenty volunteers looking after one person at a time in the water.” The association was

also searching for volunteers to get participants ready and help out with cooking on the beach, Dave said. The club has special-needs amenities and specialised amphibious wheelchairs to help adults and children alike enjoy the surf.

“We’ve got one of the best beach accesses in Victoria,” Dave Renton said. The association’s specialised beach wheelchairs were available for use along the Bellarine and Surf Coast for free at any time, by arrangement, he added.

Dave urged locals to register as volunteers and help create unforgettable experiences for people with disabilities by emailing dsaogsmiles@gmail.com.

Rider slams ‘shot’

Friday, 2 March, 2018

A Geelong Cycling Club committee member has slammed a cyclist-dominated survey promoted as "community support" for council's planned bicycle network.

"It certainly doesn't represent a snapshot of Belmont residents," said Belmont baker Sean Clark, also the cycling club's track director.

"Only 18 per cent of (survey participants) were from the Belmont area."

City Hall's survey found that 70.7 per cent of 556 respondents supported the network's southern route along High Street, Belmont, to Waurn Ponds. But 75.6 per cent of respondents described themselves as cyclists and 24.4 per cent as as "non-cyclists". Mr Clark described the survey sample as skewed given the high number of cyclists.

Out of the 75.6 per cent, 23.3 per cent described themselves as cyclists that commuted to work or education.

A council statement earlier this year quoted Census statistics that "just two per cent" of people travelled to central Geelong by bike, Mr Clark pointed out. The remainder of the 75.6 per cent either cycled recreationally or to shop.

Mr Clark compared the results to a High Street traders' petition, which he expected South Barwon MP Andrew Katos to soon table in state parliament.

"We've had a petition going since January and I reckon at my store alone I've had close to 200 signatures against (the bike paths)," he said.

"People are just thinking why would you use High Street when it's been the main thoroughfare since day dot."

Mr Clark suggested nearby Francis Street as a better route due to its proximity to existing bike paths.

"No one's really against the idea of a bike lane but why wasn't one of the (survey) questions where would you like to see the route go."

Almost two thirds of survey respondents said the plans would encourage them to ride more.

About 81.1 per cent supported the western link to Herne Hill, passing through residential Geelong West streets. Respondents aged 35 to 49 were the largest age group, 39.1 per cent.

Residents from 60 suburbs answered the survey, with 18.7 per cent from Belmont, 11.8 from Geelong West and 10.2 from Highton.

Council would continue consulting the community on the design of sections of the route, particularly in High Street, a spokesperson said.

City Hall received a $4.7 million grant from the TAC's Safer Pedestrian and Cyclist Fund to create the two cycling connections.

Geelong Mayor Bruce Harwood thanked the survey participants.

"We will consider all feedback as we progress our planning for these two major bike connections," he said. geelongindy.com.au

LETTERS Queries on church and banks The point of my calling for a boycott of Catholic Church services (Letters, 16 February) was not to question the faith of Elizabeth Afribo (Letter, 23 February) or any other Catholics but to question and put on notice the church for its protection of dastardly paedophiles.

To keep attending church in disregard of these facts is a bit hard to take, at least for me when, as I said previously, criminal charges might put paid to these horrid people, as the facts are there for all to see.

I’d rather stay at home and say ‘hello’ to God. As Kevin Mr Russell (Letters, 23 February), yes, it does seems as though the banks pay some tax but my meanderings on the internet this week found some doubt cast on the amounts paid.

Crikey implied that the banks were "slipping out of" their full obligations. Sites attesting to payments, that I found, were all banking industry-related.

In terms of tax, Ms Russell might like to show me the law that says private individuals must pay income tax. My information is that tax payments are voluntary and that only commercial operators are required to pay tax, which seems a reversal of the actual situation.

I know that the Australian Tax Office (ATO) has previously been challenged in court to do so but did not return to the next session with the evidence. In fact, it did not return at all!

Greenies our Luddites I'm pleased my whimsical letter (Letters, 16 February) amused Darren Nash (Letters 23 February).

While gentle satire may be worth a chuckle, we need to be deadly serious about those Luddites Mr Nash so perceptibly named.

The original Luddites were early 19th Century English textile workers who smashed new weaving machines to protest technology that introduced the industrial revolution.

Today's Luddites are environmental extremists who wish to return us to pre-industrial living.

As Christiana Figueres, former Executive Secretary of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change once said: "This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves ... to change the economic development model that has been reigning for 150 years, since the industrial revolution".

And to show that the human-caused climate change campaign had nothing to do with science, Christine Stewart, former Canadian Environment Minister, put it more bluntly: "No matter if the science is all phoney, climate change provides the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world".

The rollout of wire rope barriers has been the subject of much discussion, including some valid concerns among emergency services volunteers.

We are listening closely to these concerns and are working to make sure the reason for the rollout is understood.

We have also heard from those attending road accidents that the barriers have prevented them from being called out, or at least that when they arrived on the scene they attended to a minor injury instead of a fatality.

With more than 1700 hits on flexible safety barriers across Victoria in 2017, a lot of people walked away from accidents, avoiding tragic outcomes.

Power lunacy reported If anyone has any doubt about the sheer lunacy of renewable energy, the official Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) report into South Australian renewable energy for 2016/2017 will convert them.

The executive summary states: “Total renewable generation in South Australia (including wind and rooftop PV) for 2016/2017 was 5359 gigawatt hours (GWh)”.

If we convert this to an average constant output, we get 611MW. South Australia closed it’s only two coal plants a couple of years ago and then blew them up so they couldn’t be restarted. These two coal plants had a capacity of 750MW and averaged around 600 to 650MW output.

The coal plants produced synchronous, reliable, dispatchable and cheap electricity that didn’t need backup or subsidies. Wind and solar plants produce fragile, intermittent and expensive electricity that requires backup and subsidies to be viable.

South Australia’s 900 wind turbines and over 200,000 residential solar systems produce about the same average output power as the two coal plants that were closed.

South Australia’s residential price of electricity is now triple the average US rate. In January 2015 the wholesale cost was $34, in January 2018 it was $158.

And they wonder why business is packing up and leaving the state.

However, Victoria is rapidly catching up.

Socialists’ costly takeover In the late 1960s I met a young bloke in a Warrnambool bar with whom I had a debate.

He tried to convince me how Australia would be communist within 50 years. He told me our universities were being infiltrated by the socialists who lectured our children and that they were also becoming teachers, politicians, journalists, members of judiciary, scientists, in fact anyone with power.

If I met this gentleman again I would admit he was right and I was wrong.

Just look at the growth in Australia’s three tiers of government, the number of people now reliant on government welfare, and our massive government waste without anyone being accountable.

Look also at power companies being given billions of dollars in government subsidies to the detriment of consumers.

Look at our universities closing down debate on anything that isn’t their policy.

Look at the ABC, which has not one patriotic fibre left and which divides Australia on every issue.

Look at our scientists, who have become so political we cannot believe a word they say.

Rolling out safer roads Of the 155 people who died on Victorian country roads last year, 109 died in run-off road crashes when a vehicle left its lane and veered right into oncoming traffic or left into roadside trees or poles.

Many of these people were not speeding and had not been drinking or on drugs. They were locals who knew the roads and were obeying the rules but simply made a mistake.

That’s why the TAC and other state agencies are investing in building a safer road network that forgives mistakes.

Close to 2000km of run-off barriers are being rolled out at sites with the most accidents.

The barriers have been installed in Victorian since the 1990s and are proven as the most-effective way to reduce the impacts of run-off crashes, reducing fatalities and serious

As an Australian I am deeply concerned about the coalition's proposed Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Funding and Disclosure Reform) Bill 2017.

If passed it will have a huge impact on civil society, forcing charities and grassroots organisations to join a government register and follow complex new rules or face 10 years in prison.

I'm not a member of a political party but am passionately interested in the wellbeing of our society.

For many years I've really appreciated the awareness that organisations like GetUp provide on the kinds of issues that affect our daily lives. However, the proposed bill would force GetUp to affiliate with one or more political parties, threatening its ability to act independently from specific political party restrictions.

This proposed bill is an attack on our democracy and needs to be opposed in its entirety.

And it’s gold to the truth It was a delight to see the skill and bravery of dedicated athletes at the Winter Olympics.

My favourite was the amazing skills on the ice rink. The coordination of the male and female athletes using their natural, God-given capacities in the dancing sessions demonstrated the wisdom that gave strength to the man and gracious poise to the woman.

This complementary blessing has been a part of society since time began but now seems to be in danger as our natural qualities are challenged by an equal-or-multiplediverse-gender religion.

Truth cannot be supressed and any lie about the natural order will one day be exposed but the hurt of false ideology will be felt by those affected by its promotion.

Wisdom is seen in our ability to rightly distinguish differences and respect true diversity.

A lie that all diverse things are of equal merit will always breed confusion.

Many people believe that the words of man and God are unequal and that respect for the values expressed in God’s word would bring sanity to this increasingly confused and disordered society in which any concept of ultimate moral truth, like the keeping of a Godly marriage vow, seems a thing of the past.

Sopranos in power show

By Luke Voogt Powerful female voices will fill Geelong’s theatre with sound when The Ten Sopranos come to the city for the second time, according to Penny Pavlakis.

A singer of more than 30 years, Pavlakis has led the 10-women group for a decade.

“They can do amazing things with their voices,” she said.

“There are some amazing opera singers in there but there are a lot of contemporary singers that can cross into the operatic realm, and that’s what makes it so special.”

Pavlakis has graced the stage more than 10,000 times in her storied career, performing from London to New York.

She has won singing competitions around the world and was a regular performer on Midday, hosted by Ray Martin, Kerry Anne Kennerly and Derryn Hinch.

But as far as career highlights go, nothing beats the “human-to-human” connection she gets with her audience when performing.

“You go out there and you impart your soul and musical expertise, and you tell a story through music,” she said.

“Audiences are why you’re here as a performers.”

Musical performance was one of the few ways to connect in a world where texting and social media were “diminishing” human interaction, Pavlakis said.

“Collectively we deliver a show that leaves

POWERFUL: The 10 Sopranos' Penny Pavlakis.

audiences crying. We want to move them and make them feel.”

She described The Ten Sopranos as an act “unmatched” in Australia.

“The proof is in the pudding - the act’s been together for 10 years and we’re still going strong,” she said.

“We have a pool of 15 girls and one is just good as the other but all in different ways - it’s being able to use your voice as an instrument.“It’s got all the different varieties of sound you’d hear in an operatic and contemporary performance gelled into one.“ The show has everything from great operatic numbers to contemporary classics like Aye Calypso and Don’t Cry Out Loud, drawing on the sopranos’ diverse range of talents.

Pavlakis started recruiting the women after returning from a lengthy tour of Europe a decade ago.

At the time Australia’s Ten Tenors had been performing for ten years.

“I thought, ‘Why not ten women?’ At that time there was nothing,” she said.

She saw herself as a mentor for the women despite them all being “amazing singers” in their own right. They, in turn, constantly helped her refine her own singing.

“As Pavarotti said you don’t stop learning until you close your eyes.”

Pavlakis ncouraged locals to witness The Ten Sopranos in action during their rare performance at Geelong Performing Arts Centre 8pm on 10 March.

Fair go for readers Geelong cancer patients, people suffering financial hardship or homelessness and disfigured children in Asia all have something in common.

Buying a novel, biography or cookbook at the Geelong West Rotary Club’s Monster Book Fair could change all of their lives.

“All these people, and many more, are the ones who benefit from the projects supported by the Rotary Club of Geelong West,” said club president David Dadds.

The fair was the club’s major annual fundraiser and had raised tens of thousands of dollars for its various projects in past years, he said.

The club has channelled the money into the Barwon Health Patient Transport, Samaritan House, Operation Newstart, Christ Church Meals Program, Geelong Kokoda Youth Program and Interplast.

“Not to mention all of the many smaller charitable programs that apply to the club for grants each year,” David added.

The first Monster Book Fair for 2018 runs at Geelong West Town Hall from Friday to Sunday, with literally thousands of books in a variety of genres on offer.

“Our members have been collecting and sorting books for months,” David said.

“All it takes for you to change a life is a gold coin donation and a book purchase of $2 or just $1 for children’s books - nothing could be easier.

“Visitors to the fair will not only pick up a bargain, they will be helping us to change the lives of the many people that benefit from what Rotary does, both locally and overseas.

It’s a win win!”

The fair helped people suffering illness, disadvantage and hardship every year, while

BOOK LOVERS: Michael Clyne, Marnie Laurie, Theresa Best and David Dadds enjoy some good (Rebecca Hosking) reading. 177914 making a difference to the environment, David said.

“Book fairs like ours are the perfect vehicle to recycle books and save them from being sent to landfill,” he explained.

“That can only have a positive effect on

reducing waste, and that in turn benefits the environment.”

The Geelong Regional Libraries Corporation and locals have donated hundreds of books to event.

The corporation had supported the fair for several years, David said.

Ruff night for cinema buffs Ocean Grove’s dog-friendly outdoor cinema returns on Saturday with organisers expecting about 100 pooches and 500 human companions.

After putting the event together for the last two years, Cherished Pets director Alicia Kennedy was still unsure if dogs enjoyed the pet-themed movies.

“How do we know if they watch the film?” she laughed.

“Some certainly seem to.

“From observing them over the last few years they love it, but it’s more they love snuggling up in the blankets and pillows with their people.”

Alicia encouraged people to come along with “well-behaved and socialised dogs on leads” for a gold coin donation to the Cherished Pets Foundation.

“We’ve run it for two years and there’s never been an incident - most of them don’t even bark,” The night will feature food trucks and stalls, children’s activities, some of Ocean Grove’s best musicians and two local canine coaches running a dog activities corner.

“If it’s hot we’ll have splash pools for the dogs,” Alicia added.

Cherished Pets Foundation provides a social veterinary service to elderly folk and people with disabilities.

The event begins at 6pm on Saturday at Ocean Grove Park with the movie The Secret Life of Pets kicking off at sunset.

Alicia encouraged anyone interested to email admin@cherishedpetcare.com.au or phone 0439094379.

FOCUS ON … HEALTHY LIVING

Kieser’s Cats If Kieser is good enough for the Cats it’s good enough for everyone in Geelong, says manager Richard Wallace.

“We’ve got players using the facilities with referrals from their medical team,” the Belmont physio says.

“The next person to get on the machine might be an 80-year-old lady.”

After 15 years in physiotherapy, including a stint as Western Bulldogs rehab manager, Richard returned to Geelong when Kieser opened at Newtown nearly four years ago.

“We used to take some Bulldogs players into the South Melbourne Kieser centre and I could see the difference it made to their strength and performance.”

Today, more than 600 members of all ages practice Kieser’s method at the Geelong centre, to recover from injuries and to become healthier. The program also helps prevent injuries reoccurring by strengthening weakened muscles.

“We’re particularly well known for our spinal program,” Richard says.

All instructors Kieser instructors are qualified in physiotherapy, exercise physiology or exercise science, Richard says.

Eighty-nine-year-old Grace has had the MePACS service for over three years now.

Just before Christmas the prompt actions and speed of the MePACS team saved Grace from major surgery.

“My son Michael had said goodnight to me in my annex at 9pm that night but within two hours I had fallen over with severe stomach pains which were getting worse by the minute,” Grace explained.

“I pressed my MePACS alarm and within a minute the MePACS team called me via the alarm unit to see what help I needed and then immediately called my son.”

Michael was getting ready to go to bed when the phone kept ringing.

“I didn’t answer it initially but MePACS were really persistent and I answered on the third time where I was told something was wrong with mum,” he explained.

“So I raced down to her annex to find her vomiting and a bloated stomach so instantly I called 000. The ambulance arrived and took her to hospital where she underwent surgery to unblock a twisted bowel. The surgeon said had it been an hour later then the bowel would have died and Grace would have required major surgery to remove that part of the bowel and potentially put in a colostomy bag.

“I’m so grateful for the MePACS service to get help to my mum so quickly.”

Grace has since praised the work of the MePACS service.

“The speed of the MePACS and 000 service

MePACS customer Grace with her son Michael. saved me from major surgery. I feel much safer and more secure having the MePACS service knowing I only have to press the button if anything goes wrong,” Grace said.

With Grace having the MePACS alarm, Michael admitted that he has been given peace of mind knowing his mum is safe.

“The staff are always very helpful and friendly and take a genuine interest in their client’s welfare. It’s a great service to have and worth every dollar,” Michael said To find out more about MePACS, phone 1800 451 300 or visit mepacs.com.au.

Anam Cara House is all about helping people live as many of their last days at home as possible.

“Most people like to stay at home if they can.

We offer assistance in home set-up and capacity building to enable the choice of home as a very real option,” explains health operations manager Kerry Dmytrenko.

Specialised equipment is available in an “on loan, free of charge” arrangement, including hospital beds, mattresses and recliners.

Anam Cara provides a day-stay hospice on Tuesdays and Thursday so carers can “totally relax and recharge their batteries“, Kerry says.

The hospice has four dedicated beds for outof-home palliative respite, staffed by registered nurses and trained volunteers.

“When people need a break we’re here,” Kerry says. “My background is nursing and sometimes it’s really hard to look after a person for eight hours a day - let alone 24.”

Anam Cara offers a “home-like“ alternative to other medical and palliative care facilities, Kerry says.

“We call them guests, not patients. We have a philosophy of care to be provided at the highest level of what we would expect for ourselves or our own loved ones.”

The hospice also provides low-cost accommodation upstairs for family of people travelling to Geelong for treatment or for families with loved ones in hospital.

Anam Cara is a home away from home for those in need.

Pain reduced

Denture help

Foot and Leg Pain Clinics can assist with common foot and leg concerns.

The clinics have identified the most common concerns as: knee pain, injuries and arthritis; heel, shin and forefoot pain; and ankle and Achilles concerns. "Many conditions are misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated, so it’s important to find an experienced musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist to assist," says a spokesperson for the clinics.. "Also, we advise that early symptoms of diabetes, arthritis, nerve and circulatory problems often show themselves initially in the feet, so treatment of any concerns is essential."

Recent research indicates that traditional treatments, like cortisone, anti-inflammatory medications and joint arthroscopies, can actually delay healing or cause additional damage, the spokesperson says. “That's why musculoskeletal

Replacing missing or damaged teeth with dentures provides various important benefits.

Dentures fill out smiles, improve appearance and aid in speaking, chewing, swallowing and smiling. More importantly, they contribute to good health through their impact on the digestive system.

Acknowledged as a provider of denture services by every health fund in Australia, Belmont Denture Clinic has two prosthetists for private patients, Department of Veterans' Affairs and Victorian Denture Scheme.

HEALTHY LIVING

Home care’s higher level Ruth has been through a lot of change over the past 20 months but the support she has received from Uniting AgeWell has remained constant.

Ruth and her late-husband began receiving Uniting AgeWell’s home care support at their Geelong independent living unit in 2011.

“When my husband was diagnosed with a serious illness a higher level of care was available to help me,” she said.

Shortly after her beloved husband’s passing, Ruth relocated to Melbourne to be closer to her family.

Health concerns around the time of Ruth’s move complicated things further. But Uniting AgeWell stepped in to ensure she had a smooth transition of home support and individualised care once settled in Melbourne.

“The supportive Uniting AgeWell carers would pick me up from my medical appointments and take me home,” she said.

When Ruth’s health improved she longed to return home to Geelong. It was, after all, the place she lived with her husband for more than 30 years.

Knowing Uniting AgeWell would hold her hand through the process, Ruth’s family felt at ease with her decision. They also have peace of mind that she’s in good hands with the trusted not-for-profit organisation.

Ruth’s home care package with Uniting AgeWell includes weekly domestic cleaning and shopping or appointment transport, along with gardening once a month.

“Having that help makes a big difference to me,” she said.

Uniting AgeWell Community Programs Coordinator Teresa Roberts said all Home Care

Ruth’s home care package with Uniting AgeWell includes weekly domestic cleaning and shopping or appointment transport, along with gardening once a month.

Packages were different and tailored to the individual needs of clients.

“Our packages are flexible and may include help with cleaning and gardening around the home, social engagement activities, allied health services or assistance with personal care such as showering,” she said.

“They go a long way in assisting seniors to remain at home through the provision of physical and social support measures, and are all about supporting seniors to live well as they age.”

Improving a car’s power by up to 30 per cent while actually improving fuel economy sounds like a big ask for a Land Rover, BMW, Mini or Jaguar or other European marques.

Not so, says Hunter Cuthill director Adam Hunter.

It’s readily achievable by using top-line Autologic technology, he advises, adding that it’s also a sound way of ensuring efficiency performance in a more-sustainable fashion.

Hunter Cuthill, in Geelong West’s Autumn St, specialises in quality independent servicing and repairs to all BMWs, Land Rover, Mini and Jaguars - as per factory schedules and directives and with full book service.

The business also services car makes including Peugeot, Renault and Citroen.

It is the only service centre in Geelong outside of direct dealers with the software and diagnostic equipment for these brands.

“We utilise state of the art diagnostic equipment from Autologic, the world’s leading independent vehicle diagnostic software,” Adam says. “It’s the only independent tool that can program control units. Autologic also offer software power upgrades for diesel and some petrol engines, giving 30 per cent more power while improving fuel economy.”

Hunter Cuthill is also right across the best battery choices to meet the energy demands of European cars.

VARTA batteries, powered by AGM technology, feature advanced equipment such as start-stop technologies and regenerative braking systems.

“This is a battery that delivers optimal performance, faster conductivity and reliable starting power, even when the charge is low,” Adam says.

“AGM batteries deliver up to eight times the cyclic stability of conventional flooded batteries resulting in a longer battery life.”

Hunter Cuthill is at 9 Autumn St, Geelong West, phone 5229 4299 or visit huntercuthill. com.au.

Low-impact collisions typical in shopping centre car parks are annoying to say the least.

Add to this the fact that people rarely own up to damaging other people’s cars.

It has been noticed that drivers are often scared to back-up any further due to very limited vision.

These are the occasions where reverse sensors are very welcome.

Bumper Master fits reversing sensors to help customers overcome fears of backing into objects or even pedestrians.

Reversing sensors help prevent damage to owners’ cars as well as the vehicles of neighbours and other motorists. They can also help when backing out of tight garages and past narrow gateposts. Bumper Master can also help owners improve the appearance of bumpers when selling vehicles.

Bumpers are the first part of any car to incur damage – and first impressions are important when trying to sell. All Bumper Master repairs come with a no-questions-asked warranty to give customers peace of mind.

Best of all, most bumper repairs are done for less than the cost of insurance excesses.

Located behind VicRoads at 3 Dowsett St, South Geelong, Bumper Master has proven experience in providing an alternative repair service to the bumper regions of any car.

Owners wanting to improve the resale value of their cars should phone Bumper Master on 5221 0138.

car enthusiasts are likely to take - well perhaps without visiting the airport…

Handling is sharp and feedback through the wheel and the seat of your pants is excellent. You can control it on the throttle to really balance it beautifully in bends and it simply cries out for an interesting series of tight twisting up-hill-and-down-dale roads.

Want a Mazda MX-5 with an automatic transmission because you can’t be bothered changing gears yourself? Tough luck - this Limited Edition only comes with the lovely slickshifting six-speed manual. Love it.

The MX-5 RF Limited Edition is priced at $55,748 driveaway and is on sale now. Only 110 have been produced for Australia so it might be smart to contact your Mazda dealer quickly if you're a serious driver that wants something pretty special.

By Ewan Kennedy Mazda has introduced a limited edition to its MX-5 RF retractable fastback range. A serious car the Limited Edition features the Kuroi Sports Pack, aerodynamic additions, Brembo brakes and significant suspension upgrades.

Small winglets near the front of the wheelarch openings direct air away from the wheels and along the sides of the body to smooth out the rush of air created by the little sports machine.

A front strut bar links the front suspension towers to increase chassis stiffness. New design 17-inch diameter BBS alloy wheels are part of the package.

Brembo’s opposed-piston, four-pot front brake calipers not only provide harder braking in heavy duty used, but also reduce unsparing weight by a significant two kilograms.

The Brembos can increase fade resistance by as much as 26 per cent. A significant advantage if you want to take part in track days.

The MX-5 RF Limited Edition colour choices are: Soul Red Crystal Metallic, Machine Grey Metallic, Snow Flake, White Pearl Mica, Ceramic Metallic and Eternal Blue Mica. A nice choice - however every car has a black roof.

Mazda set up a testing drive route from Melbourne airport to the Yarra Valley and back, with a pause for lunch. It really showed of the Limited Edition to best advantage as this is exactly the sort of drive that keen Melbourne

Mixed bags ‘break out’ ON THE BITE Chris Pitman Trying to find a break in last week’s strong winds was their biggest challenge but when anglers were able to venture out they found the fish in plentiful supply.

Heading out of Clifton Springs and motoring down toward Leopold provided access to the spoil grounds, which were ideal for casting soft plastics. Pinkie snapper and flathead were taken in great numbers.

On the edge of the spoil grounds anglers bumped into reasonable numbers of King George whiting. Running sinker rigs baited with pippies did the trick nicely.

Indented Head produced a mixed bag of whiting and squid for anglers fishing among reef patches in 5m to 6m of water.

The deeper water nearby held gummy sharks to 8kg, with baits of fresh squid and pilchard working well. A strong berley trail also helped lure the gummies.

Queenscliff Pier continued producing some great-quality squid. Fishing the evenings was best but squid were still caught during the day.

Queenscliff Harbour was also a great land-based option, with silver trevally, whiting and Australian salmon all biting.

The run-in tides fished best, especially for anglers using paternoster rigs baited with pilchard fillets.

The Rip was kingfish central. Huge specimens were boated almost daily when the weather allowed. Knife jigging and live bait again proved the numberone tactic on the kings.

Large schools of surface-feeding salmon kept anglers entertained when the kingfish played hard to get.

The surf fishing down the coast was on fire, with salmon to 2.5kg hitting the beaches and rock platforms. Casting lures was ideal but bait fishing with squid or bluebait also worked well.

Anglers who fished into the night anglers beached gummies averaging around 1m long.

Peri Stavropoulos travelled back down to the Otway streams chasing wild brown trout on fly. Peri managed to land a ripper brown trout in stunning condition.

Lake Bullen Merri still had fantastic numbers of Chinook salmon on the go.

Trolling with downriggers became moreeffective on the larger salmon, which responded well to Rapala F-7 lures, although fishing pilchard fillets was still a safe bet for boating numbers of fish.

Wurdee Boluc Reservoir returned increased captures of redfin for anglers making long casts with spoon-type lures.

Over the next few weeks the reservoir’s reddies should really start to come on the chew.

Stony Creek, up past Anakie, was consistent for brown trout of about 1kg. The most-effective lure was a 13.5g Tassie Devil in #55.

A few lucky angler also banked some surprisingly big redfin at Stony Creek.

Next week should provide chances to wet a line keep out of St Leonards for, which should fire up again as Easter approaches, while Port Fairy could be a great option for anyone seeking some bluewater action on kingfish and tuna with skirted lures and stickbaits. Freshwater anglers should keep heading west, where Bullen Merri shows no signs of slowing down.

Cats cling to eight as finals approach LOCAL CRICKET Jim Timberlake Geelong Cricket Club remains in the top eight by the skin of its teeth following a draw against St Kilda last Saturday.

On day one the Cats managed a very healthy 7/327 before declaring their innings closed.

Dom McGlinchey (1/88) then started day two brilliantly with the ball, claiming a wicket in the first over.

From there, though, St Kilda enjoyed a run of good partnerships to reach 3/150.

Enter Brody Couch (4/42), who turned the game on its head, however, as an amazing four wickets fell for just one run.

From there it looked like Geelong would cruise to an easy victory but St Kilda had other ideas as its tail withheld the Cats for over two hours to claim a frustrating draw.

All of that means that Geelong travels to Dandenong over the next two Saturdays with the knowledge that a win should see the Cats progress but a loss will surely end their premiership hopes for another season.

Geelong Cricket Association also has a single round remaining, and in division one this year's four finalists are already decided.

Lara sewed up a finals berth when it won a thrilling game by just one wicket at South Barwon, Andy Hughes the star with a magnificent 162.

Meanwhile, Geelong City, the only other

Jim Timberlake team that was still vying for March action, suffered a humiliating outright loss at the hands of Leopold to end what had been such a promising season.

So while we know that North Geelong, East Belmont, Grovedale and Lara will contest the finals, the finishing order is still far from known, with all games this round potentially shaping each teams finishing position.

Selections: Leopold v NORTH GEELONG, EAST BELMONT v South Barwon, Geelong City v NEWTOWN & CHILWELL, ST JOSEPHS v Murgheboluc, GROVEDALE v Lara In division two, Bell Post Hill has assumed outright premiership favouritism after thrashing Bell Park last round.

But it is the other end of the top four that holds the most intrigue, with fourth placed Tor-

quay just hanging in there, while fifth placed Highton is still nipping at the Tigers' heels.

Incredibly, both teams won outright last week, which means Torquay retain its sixpoint advantage on the ladder. Add to that a healthy margin on percentage and the Tigers are still the team most likely to go through.

They take on Manifold Heights tomorrow in a game they should win, while Highton has the unenviable task of playing Bell Post Hill.

All of this points to Torquay playing finals but, in what has been a topsy turvy season, expect the unexpected.

Selections: Manifold Heights v TORQUAY, BELL POST HILL v Highton, Newcomb & District v BELL PARK, St Peters v MARSHALL And in division three, the top four has also been pretty much decided, after Alexander Thomson moved ten points clear of St Albans Breakwater with one round to play.

Mathematically, St Albans Breakwater can still make it but the prospect of defeating Guild Saints outrights seems highly unlikely.

In other games, Thomson should wrap up the minor premiership at Corio, Geelong West will tune up for its finals campaign with a win against Waurn Ponds Deakin, while Modewarre and Alexander Thomson will jostle for spots in the top four when they clash at Highton Reserve.

Selections: THOMSON v Corio, GEELONG WEST v Waurn Ponds Deakin, Alexander Thomson v MODEWARRE, ST ALBANS BREAKWATER v Guild Saints.

Warriors’ mindset right to beat Brunswick

By Josip Zilic

LAST GASP: Substitute Thomas Hidicsaved the Ranges match for the Warriors in the dying minutes.(Alex@NGWFC)

The mindset behind coach Luc Trani’s transformation of North Geelong Warriors was on display in the fight-from-behind 1-1 draw last Saturday against Whittlesea Ranges.

It will hold the Warriors in good stead as they head to Brunswick on Saturday to face an opponent who has pressed opponents well and shown it can convert chances. With a bit of luck, Brunswick would have a form record showing a win and draw.

North Geelong was able to get off to a solid start on the weekend and had a 10th minute chance to Darius Madison go unpunished after out-jostling his opponent to run onto goal.

As the half wore on Whittlesea carved out chances of its own including, with a goal-line clearance from Nicholas Anderson keeping the score line at parity.

On 31 minutes Whittlesea’s Chris Talajic managed to get away from the pack in the goal mouth to open the scores when a corner kick was swung in low, shoving his foot out to put the ball past Hamish Flavell in goal.

After the break the Warriors came out with gusto and were lifting by the minute to build a series of chances for Michael Anderson, Madison and Dom Marafioti, who were off target.

The pressing period opened up the risk of counter attacks and, if not for some good keeping from Flavell quashing those opportunities, Whittlesea would have scored more.

In the dying stages of regular time the Warriors got the leveller they deserved when substitute Thomas Hidic muscled his way into the six yard area to meet a ball from a cross that wasn’t dealt with and slammed it home.

Coach Trani was overall satisfied with the long periods of concentration to keep the opponent under pressure but will want better finishing in the upcoming match against Brunswick.

In the prior under-20s fixture, the Warriors kept their winning form with a 3-0o win with goals to Ben Tucak, Josip Prpic and Jamie Noggler. geelongindy.com.au
