Mr Allen said the facility kept Mrs Juresko in what amounted to a shed with six other aged people instead of the supposed two-bed ward for which her daughter was paying. “They had taken her passport so they were virtually holding her to ransom,” Mr Allen said. Ms Juresko said appeals to Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs, the International Red Cross and the Croatian Embassy had fallen on deaf ears. “No one will do anything. Now I’ve gone to the police and Interpol is investigating the facility but it doesn’t help settle the affairs. “My father’s estate still hasn’t been transferred.” Ms Juresko said her father’s estate was so valuable because it included high-priced land holdings. The fight was continuing because Centrelink had cut off her mother’s pension, Ms Juresko said. “She is here in the country living with me and has been an Australian citizen since 1974 but they’ve cut off her pension. We’re fighting bureaucracy in two countries and it really takes a toll.” Geelong Police Senior Detective Danny Adamko said he had taken a statement from Ms Juresko and sent it to Interpol for investigation. Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed officials had “provided assistance” to Mrs Juresko and her family so she could return to Australia.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A PAIR of Corio neighbours’ international rescue mission has returned an elderly and ill grandmother to Geelong, according to her family. Karolina Juresko alleged that an aged care facility held her dementia-stricken mother against her will while defrauding her estate. Ms Juresko said a combination of fraud and government corruption conspired to create a “hellish” situation for Marija in Croatia. “It began when my father died in 1997 and we tried to have his 8 million estate passed on to my mother. “There was delay after delay, so eventually we went to Croatia to try and sort it out. While we were there, a relative illegally claimed power of attorney and had my mother committed to an aged care facility, using her bank accounts to pay for it. “He also began using property included in my father’s estate. But as his daughter I was denied access by government departments unless I paid fees that kept getting higher and higher. “All they wanted was money but nothing was ever done.” Ms Juresko said she had to return to Australia after falling ill. She received “threatening demands” for money to maintain her mother in the aged care facility. Ms Jurekso said a neighbour, Brian Allen, went to Croatia on her behalf to “rescue” her mother from the facility.

Police probing assault ‘leads’ ‘Sensational’ response to appeal for information BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG police believe they are another step closer to catching a man who violently assaulted a university student in the central city area, according to investigators. Police launched a statewide appeal for public assistance this week after the attacker left his 20-year-old victim with severe facial fractures on May 29. A nearby security surveillance camera caught images of the assault. Police investigators estab-

lished the victim was in Ryrie Street with a friend around 1.30am when a shirtless man approached them before knocking the student unconscious. He was taken to Geelong Hospital suffering a broken jaw, nose and eye socket. Police said the victim underwent surgery late last week to inset a metal plate into his face. Officers released the graphic video footage of the assault earlier this week in the hope of attracting information. Geelong Police Detective

Senior Sergeant Dave McTaggart said the appeal for assistance had provided detectives with leads. “We’ve had a sensational response from the public after we released the video footage and are working through all the information now,” Det Snr Sgt McTaggart said. Police described the offender as 18 to 25 years old, approximately 160cm tall, of medium build and with a tattoo on his chest and stomach. Det Snr Sgt McTaggart said the unprovoked assault had

shocked police. “At that time on a Saturday night it’s highly likely alcohol or drugs were involved,” he said. “It’s not normal behaviour to be dancing around shirtless and then assault someone walking by.” Police were yet to arrest anyone in relation to the assault when the Independent went to pres on Wednesday afternoon. Det Snr Sgt McTaggart urged anyone with information to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Police to ‘blitz drivers’ after catching 5000 speeding BY ERIN PEARSON A POLICE blitz will target speeding and drink drivers across the region over the next three weeks, Geelong’s top traffic cop has warned. Road Policing Officer Senior Sergeant Shane Coles said the blitz would comprise two separate police operations against dangerous driving. Operations Aegis and Trojan would combat Geelong’s biggest road threats, he said. “People are still doing stupid, careless things time and time again and they need to realise they must stop,” Snr Sgt Coles said. “The statistics produced from operations over the past five months show we’ve caught over 5000 speeding drivers in the Geelong area. “We must concentrate on Geelong’s speed, alcohol and driver behaviour and we’ll have every car on the road over that period to make sure that happens.” Snr Sgt Coles said police were particularly committed to weeding out repeat drink drivers. Operation Trojan would bring four booze buses to Geelong, he said. “Although we’re seeing less drink drivers on our roads all up we’re repeatedly seeing drink drivers who have been caught before.” The Geelong region has recorded eight road fatalities since January 1.

Mayor support AN OVERWHELMING majority of Geelong residents want to elect their mayor, state parliament has heard. Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell also told parliament a discussion paper on introducing a direct mayoral election attracted 60 submissions, with strong support for candidates running only for mayor and not councillor as well.

Families shiver with gas failure HOUSEHOLDS in the Geelong region shivered without heating through one of the coldest nights of the year after a gas supply failure on Tuesday. Gas distribution company SP Ausnet confirmed the shortage when a cold snap prompted households across Victoria to turn up their heaters, putting strain on the network. An SP Ausnet spokesperson said the high demand on Tuesday night led to low pressure in the gas network. The shortage lasted for about an hour, the spokesperson said. Gas supplies to “a small number of western metro customers” were affected. A Torquay customer also reported experiencing supply interruptions, suggesting the shortage spread further than SP Ausnet’s western metro area. “The cold weather has an impact in dropping the pressure in our gas mains,” the SP Ausnet spokesperson said. “We have maximised the pressure in anticipation of further high demands.”

Justice Curtain said Puglia and Bishop gave Mr Nightingale the money to buy ecstasy tablets but he told them he lost the cash when fleeing a police raid on the drug deal. Police believed that six shots fired into Mr Nightingale’s home the next day were linked to the drug deal rip-off, she said. Justice Curtain said Bishop

Head ‘kicked like a football’ BY KIM WATERS A GEELONG man who kicked a victim’s head “like a football” during an assault was acting in selfdefence, a court heard this week. Nineteen-year-old Jayden Cox pleaded guilty in Geelong Magistrates Court on Wednesday to recklessly causing injury. His victim, Jonathan Davey, suffered brain contusions, facial injuries and a neck fracture when Cox punched him and kicked his head during the assault. The Crown prosecutor told the court Cox attended a September 25 party where an associate’s father, Mark Fowler, approached him to ask why he “didn’t like his son”. During an ensuing “confrontation” Mr Fowler was pushed into a bush, the court heard.

The Crown prosecutor told the court Mr Fowler’s son, Thomas, was notified of the incident via text message and drove to the party. Thomas Fowler “went looking” for Cox with a group of friends, with one yelling it was “Jayden’s night tonight”. The Crown prosecutor said Thomas Fowler joined 30 people outside the party where some men started “pushing and shoving” before Cox punched Mr Davey in the head. Mr Davey then fell to the ground and Cox kicked his head “like a football”, she said. Mr Davey’s mother, Debra, told the court her son’s brain injuries “changed” him. “There is a notable change in his personality. He lacks concentration and confidence to complete tasks.

“My son is now reliant on me.” Ms Davey said her son recently suffered a seizure from the brain contusions, which could bring on early Alzheimer’s, epilepsy or Parkinson’s diseases. Cox’s lawyer said his client punched Mr Davey in “selfdefence”. Cox had “appropriate levels” of remorse over the incident. His lawyer urged Magistrate Michael Coghlan to consider a community-based order without a conviction. “You’re kidding, aren’t you?” Mr Coghlan replied He described the assault as cowardly “act of violence”. “There (was) no self-defence, with kicking a motionless person. Mr Coghlan adjourned the case until June 21.

American Fred Booker Noe III was in town as an ambassador for the brand of bourbon that became famous under the name of his great-grandfather, Jim Beam. Mr Booker used the visit to conduct a “premium bourbon tasting” and bottle signing for fans of the brand. Bourbon afficionados queued to meet the seventh generation of Beam family distillers when he ran his promotion at North Geelong’s Najda’s Cellarbrations bottleshop.

for our teaching, learning and research activities.” Prof den Hollander said Deakin expected Waterfront enrolments to increase from around 2100 students to more than 5000 in the next five years. Student numbers at Waurn Ponds would grow from 4300 to 5000, she said. “An influx of more than 2000 additional students at the Waterfront campus would create a new buzz of student activity in the Geelong CBD and start to create the atmosphere of a real university town.”

City ‘leads’ in office market BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG’S office rental market is the strongest in regional Australia, according to new data from valuer Opteon Victoria. Commercial services director Todd Devine said Geelong had outpaced rivals Newcastle and the Gold Coast. “A-grade office rents in Geelong are comparable to

Melbourne’s suburban office market,” Mr Devine said. Rents for prime-quality office accommodation in Geelong had doubled in the past eight years in line with the city’s low vacancy rate. “Market rents for good office accommodation are in the vicinity of $200 to $225 per square metre, while new buildings will attract rentals close to $300 per square

space built tenants have to precommit to an economic rent, which will be higher than the market rent,” he said. “It costs the same to build in Geelong as its does in Melbourne. The only cheaper part of a development in Geelong is land. “The private sector has been reluctant to pay economic rents, so new development has to be driven by government.”

metre,” Mr Devine said. Opteon found that Geelong had a vacancy rate at 5.5 per cent compared to 11.5 per cent for Newcastle and 24 per cent on the Gold Coast. Mr Devine noted a “flight to quality” office space in Geelong, with the construction of a 6200sqm building pre-committed to Centrelink and Australian Taxation Office. “But to get new prime office

Richard Jenkins said Geelong’s central business district office market amounted to 231,249sqm, of which 12,721 sq m was vacant. He predicted Geelong’s total office stock would outgrow Newcastle within two years. City of Greater Geelong put aside $20 million in its budget for office space to allow for the option of purchasing the former tax office building in Brougham Street.

Mr Devine said upgrading lower-standard accommodation was difficult, expensive and often failed to include car parking. “Without car parking tenants often are not prepared to lease space and without a secured tenant owners are reluctant to refurbish. “The lack of certainty around car parking is holding back office development.” Opteon research manager

Workshops reveal new tricks for ‘habitat gardens’ GREENING Australia’s latest landscape restoration techniques are set to benefit Geelong gardens after practical workshops with Alcoa staff. More than 50 employees and community members participated in Greening Australia’s “habitat garden” workshops to mark World Environment Day last week. Greening Australia’s Lyn Willcock said the high level of interest in the workshops reflected the growing interest in modern home gardening techniques. “To create the best habitat garden you need to consider the needs of the animals and insects you wish to attract through your choice of food, shelter and breeding sites,” she said. “The results are amazing and the technique certainly adds a new dimension to home gardens, big or small.” Greening Australia showcased the techniques through its partnership with Alcoa’s award-winning Moolapio environmental project at Point Henry. Alcoa Point Henry environment manager Barry Knight said the event supported Moolapio’s aim to increase community skills Green thumbs: Alcoa’s Barry Knight, The Gordon’s Zac Novak and knowledge in practical environmental and Greening Australia’s Candice Parker get down and dirty duractivities. ing World Environment Day.

BY KIM WATERS THE ROUGH and tumble of Geelong’s roller derby should be the last place to find a fragile woman in constant pain. But fibromyalgia sufferer Jackie Lord, who plays roller derby under the name Boneyard Betsy, said the contact sport on skates relieved her debilitating condition. Ms Lord was diagnosed with a tumour in the roof of her mouth five years ago after a lifetime of migraines. After surgery to remove the tumour a doctor diagnosed fibromyalgia as the cause of her “head-totoe ache”. She was prescribed anti-depressants to help block the pain. “It got to the point where I couldn’t get out of bed. I was prescribed anti-depressants but I never took them. I saw them as

being a Band-Aid and they didn’t actually address why I was in so much pain.” Ms Lord said a chance encounter with a roller derby competitor in a bookshop changed her life. “I was walking through Borders and a derby girl said she liked my shoes. “Exercise is something that helps fibromyalgia and I was meant to be going to the gym but I don’t enjoy that kind of exercise and I wasn’t doing it much.” But the sport revealed a further setback when Ms Lord broke a rib during a training drill. During treatment she was diagnosed with osteopenia, a precursor to osteoporosis. “I can’t compete now because if I get a hard knock I could break a bone but I’m training as a referee and I go to the training sessions three times a week,” Ms Lord said.

“My body has physically started to respond to the endurance and strength training and you get strong.” Ms Lord said Geelong’s derby competitors had hearts of gold behind their tough exteriors. “There are a lot more hugs in derby than bumps and bruises. It’s the exact opposite of what everyone thinks it is after they see the competitors in their gear with all the tatts.” Ms Lord said Geelong’s roller derby competition had built a large following in the past few years. “It appeals to people who are a bit different; people who have that square-peg-ina-round-hole syndrome.” Geelong Roller Derby League will run its season final from 2pm on June 19 at Bell Post Hill Leisuretime Centre. 530769-KS23-11

Cops ‘working overtime’ tackling Geelong crime wave

Boost security, traders urged BY ERIN PEARSON SHOP owners must take action to protect themselves amid soaring burglary rates in Geelong, according to the city’s top cop. Inspector Chris Gawne urged businesses to “act smart” and reassess their security to avoid the risk of becoming another statistic. He revealed that Geelong burglaries were up 57 per cent on the same time last year. “We’re working around the clock and into overtime meeting traders to try to get people more

alert on security because prevention is better than cure,” Insp Gawne said. “A man’s home is his castle and his businesses is his livelihood, so it must be protected. “Criminals generally target the easiest places, so businesses must step up and avoid leaving large amounts of cash on premises, change departure routines and install security lighting and alarms.” Gheringhap Street’s Sun-Bo Chinese Restaurant was robbed at knifepoint this week after a failed

burglary attempt on North Geelong’s Dick Smith store on Monday night. Two men fled the Chinese restaurant around 8.40pm with a till from the front counter after one of the men threatened staff with a knife. Police said almost 20 patrons were present but no one was injured. Burglars removed roofing to gain entry to the Melbourne Road Dick Smith electronic store in a separate raid, police said. Police believed the suspects used a knotted garden hose to climb into

the building but were unable to carry out bags filled with electronic equipment. Police were still investigating both incidents when the Independent went to press on Wednesday. Insp Gawne said tasked operation units were exclusively investigating burglaries around Geelong. Operation Octopus in April and May charged 34 alleged offenders with burglary-related offences. Insp Gawne said a subsequent Operation Limeaid began targeting a drug ring but ended arresting seven

JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GARDENING could be the oldest hobby in the world, considering Adam and Eve frolicked in one. And if Eden was the first botanic garden, a group of local people is carrying on an ancient tradition. Friends of the Geelong Botanic Gardens celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. The group supports the city’s ever-popular focus of foliage, established in 1851 and now Australia’s fourth oldest botanic gardens. The friends group is a volunteer support organisation working in partnership with Geelong Botanic Gardens. President Helena Buxton said the group had 500 members, with 140 directly involved in a wide range of activities. “We do all sorts of things, from running the annual plant sales to operating the tea house in the gardens,” Helena explained. Friends volunteers take visitors on guided walks, organise botanic art classes, run a library, produce a newsletter and organise a popular Music in the Gardens each February.

Picture: Tommy Ritchie Helena said the group was also entrenched in the digital age on Facebook, which was an effective means of reaching youthful members. A community page on the group’s website was also available for other Geelong organisations with interests in gardening, she said. Associated groups included the Geelong branch of Australian Plant Society as well as clubs covering hydroponic, organic, herb, orchid and indoor plant enthusiasts. Helena said Friends of the Botanic Gardens had a sub-group that had produced more than 4000 plants so far this year to help preserve regionally valuable fauna.

The growers propagated a wide range of plants from the botanic gardens and other sources for sale.

Ms Dacey said introduction of a sliding scale could help, which would set rents depending on tenantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to pay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know the Office of Housing is considering it, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what their decision is yet, but this is a problem issue and needs to be looked at.â&#x20AC;? Ms Dacey said the rising property market was at the basis of the housing affordability crisis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge problem because

negative gearing pushes rent prices up and the first home buyers grant does as well â&#x20AC;&#x153;People will struggle to get rental accommodation if they are on low to middle incomes. State Government last week announced 125 new public and social housing properties for the Barwon south-west region by June, 2012. The announcement said another 190 properties would receive upgrades. Ms Dacey said the new homes and upgrades were part of an earlier State Government announcement of another 1600 public housing units. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing compared to the need,â&#x20AC;? she said.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN VICTORIAN Public Tenants Association has gone into bat for Geelong battlers facing rent hikes totalling $70 in 12 months. Coordinator Jackie Dacey said the association had asked Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of Housing to review its market rent calculations. The Independent reported last week that Norlane battlers were struggling with two successive increases of $35. Tenant Mick said the rise was a blow to him and other public housing tenants already facing difficulties â&#x20AC;&#x153;making ends meetâ&#x20AC;?. Ms Dacey said public housing tenants often faced escalations in rents if the housing market rose.

The unique roller blind system features a distinctive fabric made up of alternating horizontal sheer and room darkening or translucent vanes.

letters Evidence against editor

WAS IT just co-incidence last week that in the same edition of the Independent as a paid advertisement against the carbon tax there were three letters from climate change deniers? We’re getting used to the usual and often amusing barrage of nonsense from Alan Barron and Thomas Watson but at such a critical time the Independent went too far. Gary Matchan last week somehow got away with the statement: “All scientists agree there is no evidence man has the capacity to influence the climate”. Does the editor even read the letters before printing them? Or does the editor think it might be possible all scientists agree there is no evidence man has the capacity to influence the climate? It was some time ago that progressive newspapers like The Age starting enforcing an editorial policy that letters should be based on at least some level of factual content. It’s time the Independent did the same and stopped printing nonsense purely for entertainment value. Come on, Independent, wake up and face up to your role as an independent local newspaper. Or, perhaps, if we say enough times that “all scientists agree there is no evidence man has the capacity to influence the climate” we might actually come to believe it is true. Goshen Watts Transition South Barwon

Did you know the Child Care Rebate now has more payment options?

Lesson for deniers AH, THE irony! Thomas Watson (Letters, June 3) had cheek accusing Gavin Brown of not keeping an open mind on climate science. If you identify with climate change deniers in last week’s Independent, such as Mr Watson, Gary Matchan and Alan Barron, or just want to broaden your understanding of the scientific process you should accept my challenge to listen to some young scientists in the field discussing their work and the evidence they are gathering for anthropogenic climate change at www.abc.net.au/rn/scienceshow/. After listening you should try to decide which view seems most genuine: that of a team of international climate scientists or that of Mr Watson and his fellow conspiracy theorists. If you think climate change is not happening and is not caused by our burning of billions of tonnes of fossil fuels then you just have not done enough reading and listening. Stuart McCallum Bannockburn

The Child Care Rebate pays up to 50% of your out-of-pocket expenses up to an annual cap, per child per year in approved child care, or out of school hours care. You may still be eligible for the Child Care Rebate even if you don’t receive the Child Care Beneﬁt.

From July, the Rebate could be paid fortnightly, quarterly or annually.

Fortnightly payments can be paid directly to your child care service as a fee reduction or to you.

Facing reality

If you use approved child care for work, study or training, you should check your eligibility.

ALAN Barron (Letters, June 3) claimed that “climate scientists and their lackeys have created … the greatest mass hysteria in recorded memory”. For hysterical claims and disingenuous reasoning I have rarely come across Mr Barron’s equal. It seems Mr Barron and his fellow denialists have failed to learn the lesson the rest of us picked up as schoolkids: wishing doesn’t make it so. Reality is harsh. I would much rather live in Mr Barron’s childlike fantasy world but, alas, I cannot. Best, therefore, to grow up and face reality. The scientific evidence is overwhelming: climate change is real, happening now and we are causing it. Steve Williams Clifton Springs

If you currently receive the Child Care Rebate and would like to receive more regular payments for the Rebate for the next ﬁnancial year, you should inform the Family Assistance Ofﬁce by 17 June 2011.

Bob’s farewell a fair dinkum privilege I FELT privileged to attend Bob Davis’s funeral. What a champion! The Geelong Cats have had many remarkable players and supporters, be it Cargi Greaves on-field, Alex Popescu off-field or Bobby Davis in both arenas. Blokes like Bob come along but rarely. His greatest success and devotion was playing football. Bobby was a natural, a giant among men. He played in Geelong’s 1951 and 1952 premiership teams, winning the Cargi Greaves best-and-fairest medal in 1957 and coaching the Cats’ 1963 premiership team. In business he succeeded in both the motor industry and hospitality. Always a club stalwart, Bobby travelled the country as a talent scout in his early days and in his later years he was a

Gone: Bob Davis. great club promoter and ambassador. None of this should have been a surprise to anyone after his success on radio and television with the legendary Lou Richards and Jack Dyer’s groundbreak-

Models of belief I RESPOND on behalf of Alan Barron and all climate change non-believers to Gavin Brown’s letter in the April 27 Independent. First, Tim Flannery, a mammalogist and not a climatologist, stated in 2005 that global warming would reduce rain and that dams across Australia would never fill again and some would eventually dry up. Now some areas in Australia are wondering whether the ground will ever dry. Recently he suggested that if we stopped emitting CO2 today it would take 1000 years to be removed by nature. However, NASA’s CO2 cycles show it would take only four years. Many people believe in man-made global warming because they want to, not because of sound scientific evidence.

ing World of Sport program. Like club benefactor Alex Popescu, Bob Davis was honoured with a large funeral attended by his family and many friends. Eulogies by Bob’s son, Guy, former Geelong Cats president Frank Costa and Coodabeen Champions’ Ian Cover certainly highlighted Bob’s time in football, the respect the Geelong community had for him and Bob’s love of family. The Cats hold a very special place in Geelong and the committee, administrators, players and supporters will longremember Bobby Davis for his fair dinkum, unbelievable contributions for over 60 years to the Cats’ outstanding and ongoing success. David Koch MLC Member for Western Victoria Region

C I L B PU CE NOTI

The theory is driven by computer modelling, a fact that can be found on the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change website. The IPCC is a UN committee advising governments around the world, including Australia, on global warming. The problem with climate computer models is they are only as good as the people producing them and the people producing them only understand 20 per cent of global environmental factors driving climate. This is acknowledged on the IPPC website, the CSIRO website and by Mr Flannery himself. Mr Brown’s letter detailed hottest decades and temperature rises, which do prove climate change but not necessarily that they were man-made. People need to wake up and smell the roses, which, by the way, are growing better than ever with the extra CO2 available. Trevor Hackett Ocean Grove

eelong Husqvarna motorcycle dealer Peter Whelan of Road & River Motorcycles has delivered a brand new Husqvarna TE 449 to Transmoto magazine subscription competition winner Trudi Morrison. Trudi visited the Geelong business last month to receive her prize after submitting her entry stating in a maximum 25 words why she should win the bike. Peter says her “innovative entry” won the nod of the judging team at Transmoto. Truid says husband Darren is “extremely excited” about the $12,000 bike and looking forward to his first ride. Road & River Motorcycles, Transmoto and Paul Feeney Group Husqvarna congratulated Trudi and her family on their win, wishing them all the best with their prize. In 2010 Road & River was named in the top 10 dealers nationwide for Husqvarna motorcycles based on sales. The ranking highlights the business’s reputation among riders as one of Australia’s leading Husqvarna dealers, with an emphasis on providing highest levels of service, products and advice. Peter has 35 years of hands-on, technical experience with cars, motorcycles and boats, including 20 as the owner and manager of Road & River. He opened new premises five years ago to satisfy his business’s dedication to high technical standards and exceptional customer service.

letters Lie of the land

AGAIN exaggeration and sheer lies have been used to convey a message of the evils of carbon pollution. Not only is CO2 not carbon pollution, it is a harmless, clear, odourless gas that gives life to a can of Coke or puts bubbles in a bottle of bubbly. Why is our Federal Government so obsessed with taxing a harmless gas by calling it carbon pollution and how will this tax change how Earth warms and cools? CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels or farming practices have negligible impact on Earth’s greenhouse gas emmissions, so the proposed tax will generate massive financial benefit for the Government with no impact on our climate. Self-interest groups’ new TV advertisement using well-known celebrities trying to convince citizens the tax will be good for them and will save the world for our children uses images of a long-defunct power station to make its point. This is just a lie. Anyone who has been to London will recognise the imposing stacks of the old Battersea power station, of which A station was decommissioned in 1975 and B station in 1981 to 1983. Why did the advertisement use Battersea? Are our power stations not old enough? The advertisement urged “Say yes, Australia”. Say yes to what? I am not aware of a referendum on this issue and the Government has no intention of giving the people a vote on it, so what is it all about if not another big, lying deception? Russell Williams Newtown

Paid Parental Leave: What employers need to know

On 1 January 2011, Australia’s ﬁrst national Paid Parental Leave scheme was introduced. It’s a new entitlement for working parents, funded by the Australian Government. Taking time away from work for a new baby is a common part of working life. Paid Parental Leave will help employers retain skilled staff and help parents spend time with their new baby. What is Paid Parental Leave? Eligible working parents of children born or adopted on or after 1 January 2011 may get 18 weeks Governmentfunded pay at the National Minimum Wage, currently $570 a week before tax, to help them care for a new child. What do I need to do? From 1 July 2011, you must provide Parental Leave pay to your long-term employees. These are employees who have been with your business for at least 12 months before the expected date of the birth or adoption of their child. The Family Assistance Ofﬁce will contact you to initiate this process.

Your role in the scheme can start earlier if you and your employee agree. You can contact the Family Assistance Office for more information. How do I pay my employee? The Family Assistance Office will advance you funds to pay your employee. You can receive these funds in three instalments or fortnightly. You don’t have to change your employee’s usual pay cycle, set up any special bank accounts or report back to the Family Assistance Office. You just have to pay the Parental Leave pay to your employee with the usual tax deducted. You will not need to make superannuation contributions on Parental Leave pay. It will not increase your payroll tax liability or workers compensation premiums.

Level headed

What about existing entitlements? The Government’s Paid Parental Leave scheme will help employers enhance the family friendly workplace conditions many already offer.

WHEN the first white settler landed in Tasmania about 200 years ago the point of sea level was marked. Despite all our polluting, greenhouse gas emissions etcetera over the past years, the sea level is now actually lower. So much for the experts’ talk that sea levels will to rise by 1.1m over the next 90 years. What thought is also given to the fact water replaces every barrel of oil and gas to lift both for exploration? Fresh water is used in our Bass Strait oil wells. From my own observation at Torquay over the past 60 years sea levels are still the same. Could the so-called experts for a change give us some proof instead of fiction on their findings? I might then believe them. In the meantime I will stick to facts, not fiction. Cliff Winkler Torquay

Paid Parental Leave pay is provided in addition to existing employer-funded paid parental leave schemes. The existing minimum entitlement to 12 months unpaid parental leave for long-term employees is unchanged. Eligible parents can receive Parental Leave pay at the same time, before or after other employer-provided paid leave or entitlements.

Going nowhere

What should employees do? Employees can apply up to three months before the expected birth or adoption. If your staff need help, you can direct them to the website or phone numbers below. Employees are encouraged to apply early.

THE OLD adage that the world will step aside for a man who knows where he is going is worth remembering. The issue for Labor and to a lesser extent the coalition is that they no longer know where they are going. Labor sold its soul to the devil in 1955 when it turned its back on the needs and aspirations of ordinary people in favour of the secular liberal-left elites. The Gillard carbon tax is but one predicable manifestation of this folly. Reason and truth have given way to cynicism and opportunism, driven by unAustralian political careerists, most of whom have never had a real job in their miserable lives. In that sense, Bob Katter is on winner. However, he will need to be much more astute than the Joh for PM and One Nation campaigns were. If Mr Katter and the people around him get it right it could well be the genesis of a paradigm shift in Australian politics. Brian Handley Geelong

letters Study of inaction A PALTRY $150,000 grant to develop a Vision II CBD canvas underscores state governance that continues to dither and hide behind a plethora of inquiries, reports, consultants’ recommendations and anything else that distances the Baillieu Government from decision making. It has been noted that the coalition has to date commissioned 100 reviews. While it’s at best encouraging that, Geelong High School not withstanding, some funding has been granted to the city’s library and heritage centre and white-elephant-status Skilled Stadium, the region remains in receipt of a bum-steer deal. If CBD resurgence and Western Wedge redevelopment is to occur in tandem with the northern suburbs regeneration project, which is all but smothered in pricey consultancy reports, then an independent administrative arm above and beyond City of Greater Geelong, G21, Committee for Geelong and Geelong Chamber of Commerce is required. Tax and ratepayers continue to fund inept tiers of comfort-zone governance that won’t get on the front foot. Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Lara pillaged WITH THE closure of You Yangs National Park, the simple act of shutting the gates highlighted the lack of council planning and initiative and the greed of developers when it comes to passive entertainment and enjoyable surroundings at Lara. The lack of recreational areas around the town is deplorable, with little council planning. A high-tech dunny night constitutes the pinnacle of social development.

Lara land developers have shown little more patronage, with minuscule and token efforts that are no more than camouflage of innate drainage problems on eyesore developments in an already over-taxed town. With its dog’s-breakfast development and the possibility of being hemmed in by freeways and industrial development, Lara has or is going from a little oasis to an ignominious death by a wayward council and pillaging by developers.

will celebrate its centenary. In preparation for this milestone, the school’s history is being researched and published. The support of City of Greater Geelong, and the research of historian Glen Turnbull will be fruitless without the input of members of the school community. Former students, teachers and parents are eagerly sought for their photos and memories. We are keen to hear recollections or a questionnaire is available if preferred. Meticulous care will be taken with any items for copy, permanent or temporary display. Anyone who wants to know more can phone the school office on 5229 4412. Kathleen Rawson Geelong West

Explain or abandon THE LIBERALS are unsure what they want and why except for one thing: they promised a directly elected mayor for Geelong and they will keep to it because we are to pay. What they must do is to step forward and justify the change in local government, tell us the rules and how election funding will be managed or else abandon the policy. Otherwise we move away from democracy toward an autocracy of the well-to-do. That which is not worked out carefully by government is something we should not do. We can’t just criticise our 12 councillors; we have to know what problems would be handled and why it would be better for the city by the bay. Peter Linaker Ocean Grove

Unhappy campers

Pat’s pals wanted

EFFORTS are being made by commercial operators to open up the Otways and Victoria’s nature reserves generally to supposedly sensitive commercial development. How sensitive this development is remains to be seen. Of more importance to average income-earning families might be the establishment of additional free camping areas in national parks and along the Great Ocean Road. Formerly free camping spots are now closed or commercial. Families should be able to enjoy our natural resources at minimal or no cost. Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

Powers of hypnosis in mind games at Sphinx BY ERIN PEARSON LIFE WAS never going to be nine-to-five for international hypnotist Peter Powers. The internationally acclaimed performer told the Independent he always knew playing with minds would be his life’s work. Power said he was now filling 1000-seat theatres across the world with tricks such as convincing audience members they were animals or had frozen limbs. “It’s unusual but I got an interest in this type of thing when I was really young. I used to watch an American hypnotist at age seven and I was very impressed. “I believed in him, so when my father went to church on Sundays I’d take his pocket watch and practice on my little brother.” Powers said he discovered his potential while practicing as a child in England. “There was something about the look on his face that changed,” Powers remembered. “I clapped my hands and he got frightened and jumped. “The very next day I went to

the library and got a book. Within weeks I could make my brother not move his arms and get them stuck in different positions.” Powers’ parents had little enthusiasm for the career prospects of his newfound talents, so at age 16 he left home to pursue hypnotism. “When I think back to the early days it was all a bit how’s-yourfather,” he laughed. “For a 17-year-old it was very difficult. Even though I had my teachers at school telling me I would make a living out of it at some venues in the early days I had to use beer crates and plywood as my stage. “I can even recalling getting changed on the banks of a canal in the snow because there was no change room.” Powers has since recorded television shows in the Netherlands, Scotland, Ireland, Canada and the US along with a 13–week series on Foxtel. Powers will perform his new show at North Geelong’s Sphinx Hotel on Saturday night.

Sounds of youth at Celtic festival

Look into my eyes: Peter Powers performs at The Sphinx this weekend.

BY HAMISH BROOKS A FOCUS on youthful performers has paid dividends for Portarlington’s National Celtic Festival, according to organiser Una McAlinden. She highlighted the role of young bands as the town prepared to host the festival again this weekend. McAlinden said the event was running out of steam before relocating from Geelong nine years ago. The change of venue brought with it the shift of focus to younger performers. “Now we have the parents of people in bands begging to be let into the festival,” McAlinden said. “It’s good to see these people who’ve been involved in the scene for years getting excited about it again.” The Simpson Three emphasised the youthful contingent at the festival launch. Declan Simpson, 24, said he and his brother and sister band mates were looking forward to playing their second festival. The festival line-up also includes international sensations Solas and Hanneke Cassel Trio along with workshops, Celtic food stalls and dance demonstrations.

26 years of smiles mile Care is celebrating 26 years at the same address. Neil Boyd relocated to 55a Ryrie Street, Geelong, on June 2, 1985, from East Geelong. His practice has grown over the years due to his professional skills, service and reputation. Neil’s practice manager, Lee Chapman, has been with the practice since 2004. His older son, Kurt, also a dental prosthetist has been at the Ryrie Street address since 2006 after completing his technical training at another Geelong laboratory. In January Neil’s younger son, Carl, commenced his Diploma in Dental Technology, making the practice a real family business

with a long-term future. Smile Care is constantly training and looking for better ways to obtain the best possible results for function and appearance of dentures, which can provide a lifechanging experience. Today people are looking for the best results available, with implants to retain dentures the best option. Many considerations are advised before throwing away old dentures for complete fixed implant bridges rather than removable dentures over implants. Smile Care has informative brochures and information available at the initial complementary consultation stage.

Roll over for benefits BY JOHN GORMAN, M.A.P FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS hile still working it is now possible to roll your super over to an account-based pension. So why would you want to do that when you have not yet retired? First, unlike superannuation the earnings are not taxed internally at all. Superannuation in the accumulation stage is taxed at up to 15 per cent. Second, the pension payments can be tax-free or taxed concessionally and are certainly tax free from age 60. While there are a number of options for using these payments, the most effective strategy is to swap income from wages or business income for income from the pension fund. This strategy involves making

contributions to super from income that would otherwise be taxed. This can involve an employee requesting the employer to have wages in part transferred to superannuation instead so it is not subject to income tax. This is commonly called a salary sacrifice. In the case of self-employed people it is simply using the pension drawings to ironically make a larger, tax deductible contribution back into super. This is an income swap that means the tax saved can increase the net total in superannuation. In order to be better informed about these opportunities we encourage you to attend seminars we are holding over the next couple of months. If you would like more information phone M.A.P Financial Solutions on 5229 0200.

Cheapest Waterfront Homes in Australia A

n absolute waterfront village on the Bellarine Peninsula situated only 9km from the heart of Geelong is offering possibly the cheapest waterfront homes in Australia! Selling from just $136,500 for a one bedroom home (conditions apply), Pelican Shores Estate is a secure, friendly and established community for the mature aged.

Like many bab baby boomers heading to towards ke man ards retirement, you may be at the stage where you are starting to consider your future lifestyle. This is a major life decision and, after considering all the options available, more and more baby boomers are making the move into over-50s lifestyle villages like Pelican Shores Estate. At Pelican Shores you can enjoy an amazing waterfront location, downsize to hassle-free living and become part of a vibrant, active and like-minded community. You may also be able to free up extra cash to spend on the more

enjoyable things in life like travel. Another big attraction of this lifestyle option is the variety of designs and styles of manufactured homes from which to choose. Where established retirement villages often have homes that are already built and the buyer has no real opportunity to customise the design, a Pelican Shores Estate home is built in a quality controlled factory and can be easily personalised to reflect your individual tastes and needs. That means you can specify exactly what you want in your new home. An important feature for many new residents at Pelican Shores Estate is that their manufactured home and residential site has been designed to require the minimum of maintenance, leaving you free to enjoy the wonderful waterfront lifestyle on offer. We asked Andrew Hoffman of Hampshire Property Group, which is a supplier of manufactured homes to resorts in NSW and Victoria, why anyone would buy a manufactured home in a lifestyle village rather than a place in a retirement village. “That’s easy,” he answered. “When you buy a manufactured home in a lifestyle village there are minimal additional costs involved and the home design can be tailored to your specific needs. You may also be eligible for Commonwealth financial assistance and it makes better financial sense because you can avoid the additional cost of deferred management fees. In fact, the better question to ask would be, ‘Why buy in a retirement village?’”

Pelican Shores Estate gives you the freedom to lock up your home, hook up the caravan or boat and hit the open road at the drop of a hat, safe in the knowledge that the gated community, professional and caring managers and friendly neighbours will keep an eye on your home for you. Being a pet-friendly village is also a greatly appreciated benefit to our residents. Those seeking the fun and companionship that a community such as Pelican Shores Estate has to offer can take advantage of the active social committee, village facilities that include a swimming pool, and a community centre that caters for all your social and recreational requirements. Boaties can join our boat club and use the jetty and boat ramp facilities. Pelican Shores Estate is situated on the stunning shores of Corio Bay. Come and visit with our friendly sales staff; soak up the atmosphere of our beautiful waterfront location; take a stroll along the boardwalk; inspect our new homes and discover how you too can enjoy a waterfront lifestyle. You are guaranteed to fall in love with Pelican Shores Estate Lifestyle Village!

wo Geelong leaders in yoga and meditation will run a joint workshop in the city. Pilates & Yoga Styles’ Linda Newman and Shiva Yoga Medication Centre’s Swami Atmananda will teach participants how to develop “a powerful and wholesome set of skills for better living”. Linda says she and Atmanada recognise the links between Hatha-Yogaasana’s yoga postures and the mind “through meditation and inner-life into a single system”. “Yoga can mean both the union of the mind and body and discipline that leads us along the windy mountain road of life,” she says. “Not many people realise that yoga and meditation come from the same source.” Atmananda says the purpose of meditation is to contact “the deepest part of ourselves, which is a place of great peace and wisdom”. “Anyone can learn to meditate because meditation is actually the experience of our natural state. With a little practice meditation calms stress and anxiety and unlocks the doors to inner-inspiration. “We encourage people currently enjoying yoga

The ultra smooth M-Class BY ERIC BLAIR ercedesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first passenger SUV, the M-Class four-wheel drive was an early starter in a class thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now become highly competitive. A stylish vehicle, it is as much a luxury wagon as a 4WD. Unlike some later additions to this vehicle type, the M-Class is reasonably serious about its off-road ability. Mercedes-Benz made major changes to its MClass SUV. As is often the way with this prestigious German marque the improvements were mainly under the skin, though the body shape did gain quite a few modifications as well. We have just revisited the M-Class during a weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road testing as we feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a benchmark vehicle in the upmarket SUV/4WD class, and have come away most impressed with the ability of the vehicle. In particular, the M-Class has been further refined in the areas of smoothness and comfort, with the NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) engineers having put a lot of work into making the big SUV an excellent cruiser. We found it able to cover long distances on good roads with amazing ease. The near silence on smooth roads was impressive. Dirt roads were part of our road test route in the latest test and we came away most impressed with the way the big ML350 handled. Though very few M-Class Mercs do go into the bush, this medium-large SUV is a lot more competent in off-road running than most owners realise. Interior comfort levels are high and the M-Class can carry four adults in plenty of stretch-out space. Though the emphasis has been on making the latest M-Class Mercedes more refined and kinder to the environment, the designers have been allowed to

Bold: The frontal appearance of the Mercedes M-Class SUV looks positive without being aggressive.

NEED CASH then sell something you no longer need....

Redesign: A tail-tuck sees a new rear bumper design that has also been squared off. give it a different appearance to the model it replaces. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bolder frontal look thanks to a larger grille with more than its fair share of brightwork, after all this is a vehicle aimed at the north American market and the guys over there do like things to stand out. Alterations have also been made to the headlights and front bumper, the latter has a squarer look than previously, as well as foglights that are pushed to the outer corners. A tail-tuck sees a new rear bumper design that has also been squared off, additionally there are taillight revamps and increased rear brightwork. Those looking for a people-mover that can explore interesting areas on a weekend, and who enjoy plenty of prestige in their transportation devices should ensure thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Mercedes-Benz MClass somewhere high on their list of possibilities.

sport Cold comfort on the bay for the hardy few On the bite BRIAN LONG WINTER has hit with a vengeance, making after-dark snapper and surf fishing a test of endurance. Few anglers ventured onto Corio Bay in the past week except for a hardy few who caught quality fish. Fred James fished the channel line just out from the silos piers to land two nice snapper, the best 5.4kg Fred had a number of other runs without hooking up, suggesting good numbers of fish might be available. Terry Sharp also spent two late nights on the bay, with one trip resulting in just two small gummy sharks. However, the second trip made the cold worthwhile when Terry boated a magnificent 7.8kg snapper. Shaun Perry fished landbased along Geelong’s waterfront where he nailed snapper to 52cm on soft plastics. Using Turtleback works in the green colour, Shaun caught his fish just after dark on the high tides. Salmon continued to be found within the bay, with anglers advised to look for them around Eastern Beach, North Shore rocks or the grammar school lagoon entrance. Tyson Grey found whiting on the Stingaree spoil grounds, landing his bag limit in two hours. The fish fired at first light before the wind picked up. Hayden Welsh fished the outer-harbour spoil grounds with soft plastics, landing a mixed bag. Snapper and flathead comprised the majority but Hayden also caught nearly a dozen salmon to 2kg. Gummy shark reports contin-

Up close and personal: Tuna continue to be available relatively in close at Portland. ued to come in from the outerharbour. Anglers fishing the edge of Wilson Spit caught good numbers but had to fish through many undersize specimens. Squid reports were down but Noel Jeffries still found bag-limit captures on the grass beds off Hermsley. Small, dark coloured jigs have been key to success when fished in water shallow enough to see the weed beds on the bottom. Trevally reports were also down this week, with the few taken coming from the marina at Queenscliff and not the cut. Most were also taken after dark under the moored boats. Surf anglers struggled with huge tides and swells. Best reports came from the relatively protected area between Lorne Pier and the main beach. Anyone seeking salmon should consider the lower end of the Barwon River where many fish around 600g and a few pushing 1kg were caught. One of the best seasons ever for bluefin tuna captures continued to excel, with charter operators getting clients onto quality fish in as little as the

30-metre depth out from Portland. However, the 100kg-plus barrels are still consistently being caught off Apollo Bay. With the long weekend conditions looking unfavourable, Portland will be a good option in close. Anglers should be aware that this weekend marks the closure to the trout season from midnight Monday. Anglers are not permitted to take or possess fish again until the opening on September 2. The closure is only for streams, with the exception of streams designated as sea-run trout waters. Lakes remain unaffected. Anyone seeking a streamcaught trout this weekend should try the upper reaches of the Barwon River. Pollocksford should be ideal, as will the junction of the Barwon and Leigh rivers. Wurdi Boluc Reservoir certainly quietened down this week but some awesome brown trout to close on 3kg along with a handful of huge redfin to 2kg were still landed. Lures account-

ed for most of the fish, with deep-running minnow patters or metal lures such as Pegron and Spinwell wobblers best. Lake Bullen Merri also slowed a little, with most trout landed on Powerbait with berley such as pellets in the area. Lake Elingamite produced trout and redfin, with mudeye fished under a small float successful and lure casters enjoying success with small, bibbed minnows. Blustery conditions made fishing Lake Purrumbete challenging but Lindsay Palmer tackled the conditions from the shore to land three trout to 2.8kg on Atomic shads in the Muddy Prawn colour. The St Helens boat ramp redevelopment has been completed. Three new boat launching ramps, an improved ramp approach, a new fish cleaning table and barbecue facilities are all in the $600,000 upgrade. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Avenue, Manifold Heights.

Newtown in a grind SOUTH Barwon, Bell Park and St Josephs are leading the way in Geelong Football League with their places in the finals assured but the race to fill the other two spots is on in earnest. Only four points separates fourth placed Newtown and ninth placed St Mary’s, with Lara, North Shore, Leopold and Colac sandwiched in between. Newtown finds this out on Saturday when it hosts St Mary’s. A loss could see the Eagles drop to sixth or even seventh. Jacob Spolding has his side playing solid but unspectacular football, with his players battling for every victory they’ve recorded. Jay Bett, David McVilly and John Leyden are playing well, with Bett providing the only avenue to goal. St Mary’s has really dropped away this year and some will be surprised it is still within striking distance of the top five. Tim McLean, Bryce Vincent, David Clarke and Daniel Jull are good footballers but even their efforts aren’t getting the side over the line against teams it should theoretically beat. That trend will continue in this game, with Newtown set to grind out another win. Other selections: Lara v SOUTH BARWON, LEOPOLD v West Saints, North Shore v BELL PARK, St Albans v COLAC and ST JOSEPH’S v Grovedale.

BFL Barwon Heads and Drysdale battle for fifth spot on Bellarine Football League’s ladder at Drysdale on Saturday. Both sides are equal on points with four wins apiece. Drysdale is coming off a close victory over Modewarre, which coach James Colbert saw as a season-turning game. Youngsters Nathan Pigott and Jesse Collins are finding their feet, while Brent Taylor and Ben Carmichael are

Local Footy FRANK MASON all class. Beating Barwon Heads won’t be that easy because the Seagulls have overcome their off-field dramas to be stronger than earlier in the year. Robert Wallace, Dylan Holland and James Taylor are playing the best football of their careers and a sniff of playing finals will only make them better. Other selections: ANGLESEA v Portarlington, Newcomb v TORQUAY, OCEAN GROVE v Queenscliff, AMATEURS v Modewarre.

GDFL North Geelong will find its finals hopes smashed by Saturday night if it can’t beat Inverleigh on its home ground. The Magpies started the year full of optimism and to date have not delivered much. Injury to key forward Paul Breguet hasn’t helped their cause but isn’t the only reason for their fall down the ladder. Coach Frank Fopiani will be looking for answers and better come up with one quickly. Inverleigh is sitting fourth on the ladder and was looking good until it unexpectedly lost to Bannockburn last week. Maybe this was just a hiccup in the Hawks premiership campaign or is the young side running out of steam? Expect the Magpies to exert plenty of physical pressure on Inverleigh but also expect the home side to withstand it to record a solid victory. Other selections: EAST GEELONG v Werribee Centrals, Thomson v ANAKIE, BELL POST HILL v Belmont Lions, Corio v BANNOCKBURN, Geelong West v Winchelsea.
