Charlotte’s daily battle to survive inspires diabetes research fundraiser

Daily struggle: Deena Otway with daughter Charlotte.

Picture: Tommy Ritchie 68429

BY ERIN PEARSON DEENA Otway lives daily in fear her three-yearold daughter may never wake in the morning. The fear compels her to inject Charlotte twice daily with lifesaving insulin despite her anguished cries of protest. Charlotte Otway was diagnosed with type one diabetes last year. The next day she was flown to Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital to spend a week in intensive care. Doctors feared brain damage from a complication associated with Charlotte’s diabetes. Deena said her world turned upside down. “We knew she was hanging on by a thread,” Deena said this week through tears. “We didn’t hear her voice for seven days. “Now if she doesn’t get insulin every day she won’t wake up the next morning.” Type one is the deadly form of the two types of diabetes, requiring life-long injections to compensate for the inability of the pancreas to produce insulin. The cause of type one diabetes remains unknown, with no prevention available for Australia’s 122,000 sufferers. Deena said every day was a battle. “Charlotte doesn’t understand. She just knows she’s got to have injections. “It breaks our hearts.” Deena and friend Katrina Stephens will host a fundraiser this month for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation as it searches for a cure. “To watch my little girl go through what she does means this isn’t only something I want to do, it’s something I need to do,” Deena said. Snowflakes for Charlotte will be at Torquay’s The Sands on August 20. More information is available at sfcbenefit.org.

Councillors ‘backed creek plans in 2008’ BY ERIN PEARSON SURF COAST councillors assured developers early in 2008 that Spring Creek would be rezoned for housing, according to an industry body. Urban Development Institute of Australia’s Tony De Domenico said the developers had lost millions of dollars after council and State Government last week backed away from opening the

land for development. “There was certain assurances given way back in 2008 to developers about Spring Creek. What a waste of local and developer money,” Mr De Domenico said. “Tell us where we can and can’t develop and we won’t develop where we can’t. The problem is Spring Creek was deemed to be designated future growth area and plans were drawn up.” Christian College project man-

ager John Pelchen said shire officers also provided assurances on development of Spring Creek. “At the time we purchased the land council officers encouraged us to do so if we wanted to start a school,” he said. The alleged assurances would have preceded any council vote on developing Spring Creek for one kilometre west of Duffields Rd. Council released its initial plan for over 6000 dwellings in late

2008 but did not vote on it until 2009. Council voted against the plan and initiated a review as part of a 2040 growth strategy for Torquay and Jan Juc. The 2040 review eventually recommended 1550 lots but council abandoned the revised plan at a monthly meeting last week. Mayor Dean Webster said at the meeting that council must “take some blame” for the amount of planning to develop Spring Creek.

Surf Coast Shire refused to confirm to the Independent whether council or officers had given assurances that development of Spring Creek would proceed. 299078-HR40-9

Planning Minister Matthew Guy announced the following morning that he would not rezone the land for housing.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN STATE Government is “working on a solution” to shortfalls in library funding, according to a spokesperson. The spokesperson for Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell said an announcement “was expected this week”. “The minister and Premier are aware of library funding issues and are currently working toward a solution,” he said. The Independent revealed last month that the region’s libraries faced funding cuts under the Baillieu Government. The government spokesperson revealed the bid for a solution after South Barwon MP Andrew Katos broke ranks with the Government, asking it to reinstate Geelong’s $69,000 in library

State talks on ‘library cash’ Lobbying: Andrew Katos. funding cuts. Mr Katos wrote to Ms Powell on behalf of City of Greater Geelong, Surf Coast Shire and “a number of constituents”. In the letter obtained by the Independent, Mr Katos blamed the cuts on the previous Labor government. “I write to make representa-

tions in relation to library funding and the consequences of cuts and savings made by the previous state government,” Mr Katos wrote. “It is of (sic) my understanding that the Geelong Regional Library Corporation budgeted for improved services. “The changes made have effectively resulted in a $69,000 cut to the GRLC.” Municipal Associaiton of Victoria president councillor Bill Arthur said Mr Katos’s letter suggested a Save Our Libraries campaign had influenced coalition backbenchers. “It’s interesting that one backbencher has sent letter like that,” Cr McArthur said. “The minister has agreed that we need a better funding model. I’m hopeful of a great outcome,” he said.

RDA report leaves Cats in the dark BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A PUSH for lights at Skilled Stadium appears doomed as Geelong awaits the outcome of a Federal Government funding announcement. But the outlook is brighter for a proposed $50 million upgrade of Geelong Library and Heritage Centre, with a funding advisory committee giving it priority over the Skilled Stadium lights. Regional Development Australia’s Barwon South West committee has sent a report to the Government listing the library

and heritage centre as the region’s number-one funding priority. The committee ranked a timber industry project at Portland as second priority and the stadium lights third. The Geelong projects both want $15 million from a $100 million national fund. Peter Dorling, who sits on the committee, said funding for both in the first round of grants was unlikely. “The feedback we’re getting is that the Government will announce a second funding round of $200 million the same day they announce

the successful applications. Geelong Regional Library Corporation chair councillor Rod Macdonald said he was unconcerned about the push for Skilled Stadium. “I can understand them having a dip but the library is the numberone priority.” Cr Macdonald said City Hall had a foot in both camps as manager of Skilled Stadium and proponent of the library and heritage centre project. “It just demonstrates the level of need in regional Australia.”

BY KIM WATERS A JUNKIE who stole and sold almost $300 of meat while on bail will return to prison, a magistrate ruled this week. Matthew Whitehouse, 36, of Colac, fronted Geelong Magistrates Court on charges of theft, obtaining financial advantage by deception and handling stolen goods. Police Prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Scott Bell said Whitehouse stole two packets of chicken breasts and four packets of lamb cutlets from an ALDI store in Colac on January 26. Sen Const Bell said Whitehouse concealed the $58.99 worth of meat under his T-shirt and distracted the cashier before walking out of the store. Whitehouse then went to a nearby Target store where he stole four bottles of deodorant and a decorative Jack Daniels stein, the court heard. Sen Const Bell said Whitehouse was observed on security camera footage stealing meat from a Colac Safeway in May. Whitehouse stole $80 of meat from the supermarket in three separate thefts, the court heard. Whitehouse admitted to police he sold the meat to an “unknown person” for $120, Sen Const Bell said. “The reason he gave police was that he was not travelling well at the time.” Lawyer Shane Balkin, for Whitehouse, said his client had a history of drug abuse and recently spent time in prison. “There’s what seems to be some degree of sincerity on his part…in dealing with his drug addiction,” Mr Balkin told the court. Magistrate Ron Saines said Whitehouse’s offending was a “fully intentional” and premeditated. “(This) was a few weeks after your release from prison similar offences,” Mr Saines told Whitehouse. “These were all committed while on bail. The sale of goods you had stolen…underlines the criminal methodology here.” Mr Saines convicted Whitehouse and sentenced him to six months jail and gave him a further three-month suspended sentence.

Asbestos sentence A GEELONG man who dumped asbestos on a “large scale” must pay a fine of $40,000 after appearing in Geelong Magistrates Court this week. The court heard that John Tsorotes failed to comply with an order to clean up his illegal Point Henry asbestos dump, measuring 35 metres in circumference and about four metres in height.

Athletes’ riches ATHLETES will vie for $12,000 in prize money during “Australia’s richest long-course triathlon” in Geelong this summer, organisers have announced. They said entries were already ahead of initial predictions for the inaugural URBAN 2.80.20 during February’s Geelong Multi Sport Festival.

Mine dumped MANTLE Mining has dumped plans to explore for coal near Deans Marsh, according to company director Ian Kraemar. Objectors welcomed the announcement at a public meeting in Deans Marsh where they had expected to hear further details of the proposal to look for coal in an area covering 500 square kilometres.

Wine wins WINERIES in the region have extended their “status as an iconic and dominant force” in the industry with high ratings in an esteemed guide to Australian wine, according to a spokesperson. The Wine Geelong spokesperson said 81 per cent of local wineries reviewed in the 2012 Halliday Australian Wine Companion scored ratings of fourplus stars.

Paintball cash THE Gillard Government has given $40,000 to an Anakie paintball park to become a “major visitor drawcard”, according to Labor MP for Corio Richard Marles. He said the funding would help Hot Shots Paintball Skirmish create an “immersive entertainment experience” for patrons.

City to shoulder ‘first’ in surgery BY KIM WATERS A GEELONG hospital has implanted artificial shoulder joins in a world medical “revolution”, according to an orthopaedic surgeon. Associate Professor Richard Page said he performed the world’s first PyroCarbon shoulder implant surgery on an arthritic 57-year-old patient at St John of God Hospital. Mr Page said two more patients would receive similar implants at St John of God in the next few months. Surgeons had previously used PyroCarbon implants only for smaller joints like fingers or hands, he said. Mr Page described the use of PyroCarbon technology in shoulder implants as “revolutionary”.

“There are only six centres in the world using this material and fortunately we’re one of them. “We’ve developed a trial with a carefully selected group and will monitor the outcomes for a minimum of 10 years. The monitoring and follow up is strict so that we can be confident this works in the long term.” Mr Page said the world-first surgery had demonstrated faster recovery times and lower reported pain levels compared to traditional shoulder joint replacement surgeries. “Certainly in terms of early movement it’s been very promising,” he said. “I think it has the potential to be a minor revolution in terms of shoulder joint replacements. We’re hoping it’s a definite step forward.”

Mr Page said the PyroCarbon product was originally used to coat nuclear fuel rods. Researchers in America developed the material for joint replacements. PyroCarbon joints offered a smoother surface and were softer than metal, Mr Page said. The implant was only suitable for arthritis suffers. “I think in a minor way it’s going to put Geelong on the map,” Mr Page said. “Geelong is really not just in the front half of the pack but at the front end of that pack in leading medical technologies. “We’ll continue our recruiting process looking for appropriate patients with an ongoing trial and follow-up process.”

STATE Government is preparing plans to resume burn-offs to reduce potential bushfire fuel in the region, according to a statement from Department of Sustainability and Environment. The department said it was seeking public feedback and input, with the Government “increasing its planned burning program to help protect lives and property”.

Couple travels through tragedy BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE EMOTION is still close to the surface when Noel Southern talks about the accident. It was a split-second when his life changed irrevocably from active, retired teacher planning Australian and overseas travel to wheelchair-bound invalid. “It’s hard,” Noel said simply, the emotion in his voice and his eyes speaking volumes more than his words. Wife Janet quietly rested her hand on his arm. “I’m still here, though,” he declared. “I’ve got a choice – I can curl up inside or I can do the best I can.” Seven years ago the Clifton Springs couple was returning from a caravan holiday in Queensland. “We went up to see our new grandson and help our son, Simon, move into a new house,” Janet explained. “I built a fort, a sandpit and swings for the kids,” Noel smiled. On the way back Janet had just taken over driving duties. “We were taking it easy,” she remembered. “I’m always a bit more careful when we’re

towing the van.” Janet barely had time to register the blank, white door of the B-double truck overtaking them before disaster struck. “The police estimated he was doing 120 to 130 clicks,” Noel said. “It just lifted the van and jack-knifed it. We weren’t in a little car – we were in a Land Rover Discovery but the force just rolled it. “He didn’t even stop.” Noel remembered nothing after that. “I ended up in ICU for three weeks, then I was flown to the Austin’s spinal acute ward, then spent time in Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre and then three months in Grace McKellar.” Noel was left a C4 incomplete quadriplegic. “The spinal cord isn’t severed but it’s caught at the neck and damaged the nerves to my arms and legs.” Janet has a metal plate and screws holding her right arm and shoulder together. Their travel plans are over. “It makes it hard when you see others going – we feel like we should be with them,” Janet said. “We don’t watch the Getaway-type shows so much any more.”

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN MOTORISTS must look beyond the death toll to understand the true scale of vehicle accidents, according to the region’s peak community road safety body. Roadsafe Barwon chairman Rod Bennett said the hidden toll of injured and maimed drivers and passengers was a huge cost to the community. “The road toll that everyone talks about is mainly centred on the death toll, as this is high-impact-type news,” Mr Bennett said. “There is, however, the hidden toll; those drivers, passengers and other road users who are also victims. “These are the people who are permanently injured and maimed as a result of others’ careless or bad behaviour. These are the people who have to endure a lifetime of loss of lifestyle and ability to lead a normal life. “But it’s not only the people who directly suffer from accidents; it’s also the families, friends and workmates who share the pain of changed life circumstances.” Mr Bennett backed the Independent’s Shattered Lives campaign to promote road safety through stories on the hidden road toll of injury. “While the cost of road trauma is often quoted as being in the billions of dollars each year, these figures do not include the hidden costs to the community of supporting a person who is injured in an accident and who carries the scars of that accident for life.” Mr Bennett said RoadSafe Barwon was trying to change dangerous driving behaviours. “By taking more care and driving responsibly, we can all avoid the additional costs and burdens of road trauma. “It only takes a split second to change a person’s life forever. “It might be someone you know next time.”

Creek decision ‘backs 4C shift’

10-30% off All Stock

BY KIM WATERS STATE Government’s backflip on developing Torquay’s Spring Creek could help residents fight plans to run a bypass link past their homes, according to their spokesperson. South Grovedale Action Group’s Magarita Kumnik said residents were anxiously awaiting Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s decision on the 4C link two months after advisory panel hearings. Ms Kumnik said Mr Guy’s

2 WEEKS ONLY

decision on Spring Creek would focus Torquay’s growth north toward Grovedale, supporting calls to put the 4C link between the bypass and Surf Coast Highway further south toward Torquay. “I suspect this new announcement might affect Mr Guy’s decision. Surf Coast Shire always wanted the road further south than it was planned and if there is more growth in Torquay there is even more of a reason to move the road.”

Ms Kumnik said residents were questioning why the decision was taking so long when Mr Guy promised in January that it would take “a low number of months”. “It’s a waiting game to see what’s going to happen next.” A State Government spokesperson told the Independent in June a decision was expected “in a few weeks”. But the spokesperson told the Independent this week that “no further updates” were available.

Code ‘lessons’ for footy louts

BY ERIN PEARSON BAD behaviour among players and spectators has prompted Football Geelong to bolster its education programs, according to league chief Lee Hartman. Mr Hartman said the organisation would redistribute its codes of conduct for players and spectators to all Football Geelong clubs following a series of widely publicised incidents, including alleged racial abuse among under-11 players. Geelong and District Football League has also produced incidents, with spectators allegedly verbally abusing an intellectually disabled umpire and an Aboriginal Belmont Lions player at separate matches this season. Mr Hartman praised clubs for quickly dealing with incidents but said players and spectators must observe codes of conduct. “When incidents like this hap-

We have over 10,000 members participating in football on a weekly basis,” Mr Hartman said. “Clubs do a fantastic job educating players on what to and not to do and this needs to continue. Bad behaviour like this won’t be tolerated.” A spectator at last weekend’s Bellarine Football League reserves match between Modewarre and

Ocean Grove said she was shocked at aggressive and offensive language of spectators toward players and other supporters. “It’s always pretty bad but I haven’t seen it that bad before,” said the women, who did not want to be identified. Sports Minister Hugh Delahunty said State Government was concerned about reports of violence and racial vilification, especially in junior sport. “Local sporting clubs are for communities to join and enjoy sport – violence and abuse should not be tolerated at any level,” he said. “The Victorian Code of Conduct for Community Sport is currently in place and state sporting associations are encouraged to ensure their community clubs provide a safe environment for both spectators and participants.”

Ambo centre â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;move threatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Choice entries for Golden Plates

BY KIM WATERS LIVES will be at risk when Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambulance dispatch centre moves to Ballarat this month, according to a paramedics spokesperson. Steve McGhie said the move would â&#x20AC;&#x153;exposeâ&#x20AC;? a shortage of paramedics in Geelong. Ambulance Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;transitionâ&#x20AC;? of four other dispatch centres across the state had increased emergency caseloads and highlighted staff shortages, he said. Mr McGhie expected similar problems for Geelong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason is that the communication system theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using errs on the side of caution and sends more ambulances to what they believe are emergencies that may not require an emergency response,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes that ambulance out of its immediate area when other cases actually do require an emergency response.â&#x20AC;? Mr McGhie called for a revision of the communication system and an increase in ambulance staff at the five new centres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think more staff are required to override the system and make sure ambulance crews are going to real emergency cases. We call on both Ambulance Victoria and State Government to make sure Geelong is appropriately resourced when communications go across to Ballarat.â&#x20AC;? Mr McGhie said Geelong would need â&#x20AC;&#x153;at leastâ&#x20AC;? 20 to 30 extra paramedics to cope with the expected increase in workload after the dispatch centre moved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Geelong needs at least three more crews, 24 hours a day immediately, at a minimum.â&#x20AC;? d itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only going to get worse later this month.â&#x20AC;? An Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said the new Ballarat centre would dispatch emergency calls in rural areas from across the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been the biggest reform seen in regional ambulance communication,â&#x20AC;? the spokesperson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a process that in other areas has taken countless years to upgrade just one centre and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve planned and delivered five centres in just over a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The transition has been a huge success and brings with it substantial benefits for the community.â&#x20AC;?

Over-55s ‘sound off at venues’ BY KIM WATERS NOISY Geelong restaurants are driving away over-55 diners with hearing problems, according to new research. The Hearing Life research found that 45 per cent of Geelong’s over-55 respondents “always” avoided the city’s noisy restaurants. They were less likely than counterparts in other areas of the state to make restaurants aware they were too noisy, the research found. Geelong’s Peter Broadley, 68, said his hearing impairment often left him “fading into the background” in noisy venues, so he avoided them. “You tend to get marginalised in noisy environments,” Mr Broadley said. “You can’t hear conversations so you can’t take part in them. “If you want sympathy when you’re deaf you should break your leg.” Mr Broadley said he deliberately chose quieter venues. “People are enjoying themselves and talking, so you don’t want to come across as a wowser. It’s just unfortu-

nate because you’re a bit deaf. “I’d never complain about a restaurant being too noisy. You feel like you just have to put up with it.” A Hearing Life spokesperson said respondents ranked acoustics and noise levels as “far more important” than portion sizes, décor or bathroom facilities. Restaurant operators would be surprised how many potential clients were in the over-55 demographic, the spokesperson said, “and even more so if they knew that one in three Australians over 60 have some form of hearing loss”. “Only 10 per cent of the restaurants surveyed said that they’d considered noise as a key issue when planning or modifying their restaurant but almost half were interested in finding out how to make their restaurants more hearing friendly”. The spokesperson encouraged owners to keep music at conversation level, look directly at mature-aged patrons when listing specials or confirming orders and consider setting aside tables in quieter areas for over-55s.

Rain diverse, questions remain over BoM stats A DIVERSE rain pattern was the picture for July around Geelong. Many stations hovered around the Geelong urban area average of 49 mm. For example, Bell Post Hill recorded 47, Grovedale South 56 and Drumcondra 50, just to name a few. But the new Breakwater racecourse weather station and the other two daily-reporting Bureau of Meteorology stations at Moolap, just three kilometres away, proved unrepresentative of the urban area after reporting just 36mm. The bureau’s figures from these stations will need to be used carefully in that light. The Geelong Weather Services station at East Geelong also only recorded 37.5mm but, pointedly, the GWS site closest to the airport recorded 67mm. In contrast, the northern areas from Lara to parts of the Brisbane Ranges were well down in totals. The Lara district had between 19mm and 26mm, while the Otways received well-above average. West Barwon Reservoir received 198mm, which was about 140 per cent of the usual July average, leaving the system over 86 per cent full after the best month for rain since January, 2002. As for July temperatures, I can only again report that the bureau has yet to release data for both June and July from the airport weather station, due for demolition in a few weeks.

WATERFRONT LEISURE ACTIVITIES - EXPRESSION OF INTEREST OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF THE WATERFRONT EXPERIENCE

This data is crucial for comparing the new racecourse site with the old one and is being withheld for some unknown reason. I believe this is unacceptable yet, despite several polite requests, my concerns have been ignored. The point is that the new site is clearly an urban setting, with expected higher temperatures, especially overnight. The old site was more rural and therefore more likely to be cooler. To compare our monthly temperature trends we need to compare apples with apples. Having said that, it was interesting to note that in July the average daily maximum at the new racecourse site was actually the same as the long-term average for the airport. When the full figures are made available more conclusions may be drawn. * Lindsay Smail operates Geelong Weather Services, phone 5241 5332.

Reader recalls our ‘lost town’ BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A STORY in the Independent last month about the discovery of a lost town west of Geelong transported reader Lorna McNamara down memory lane. Mrs McNamara said she spent her childhood at her grandparent’s property in the former town of Clifford at the intersection of Princes Hwy and Cape Otway Rd. VicRoads contractors duplicating the highway unearthed remnants of the town last month. The discovery interested Heritage Victoria, with archaeologist Jeremy Smith inspecting the site. VicRoads confirmed the town, established in 1853, had a school, a church, a store, a hotel, a post office and a blacksmith. “My grandparent’s property was called Clifford Hill and it was an Ayrshire dairy cattle stud,” Mrs McNamara recalled. “It was a real coincidence when I picked up the Independent and read about it.” Mrs McNamara said discovering the information about her childhood town was like putting together pieces of a family history jigsaw puzzle. “I can faintly remember my grandparents talking about the blacksmith’s shop. There were a few branches of the Rogers – my grandparents’ family name – living around Clifford.” Mrs McNamara dug out some potted histories of the area, including a former Barrabool Shire record. The booklet noted: “The hun-

Back in the day: Lorna McNamara’s grandparents outside their home at Clifford in its heyday. dreds of motorists who drive by daily could not realise that the little town of Clifford was once a busy little centre of the shire. “At the end of the long climb from Waurn Ponds it was a natural port for weary travellers and their beasts to take a rest. “In the late 1860s Cr Ambrose Walter noted that the road junction was ‘obstructed by numerous wagons and vehicles outside the hotel’. The attention of Moriac police was directed to ‘this nuisance’. “Little evidence remains today that this was once a busy centre.” Heritage Victoria’s Jim Gardner said the discovery was “quite rare”.

“There’s a strong likelihood of there being historical artefacts, so we’ve issued a consent to excavate, record, store and conserve any material found. “This will become part of the research record available to historians and researchers. “The artefacts often tell an important story when the written records are scant and this is one of those cases. It can tell us how they lived, their social status and what activities took place in this town.” Mr Gardener said Heritage Victoria was keen to inspect Mrs McNamara’s historical documents.

Pair rallies for research into kidneys BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG rally driver Alan Jones will share more than just a famous racing name when he starts a 2011 Kidney Kar Rally next week. Mr Jones underwent an operation to clear a kidney blockage, so he understands the need for research into the vital organ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They took the kidney out, fixed it and put it back in,â&#x20AC;? Mr Jones smiled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a bit like pulling out a clutch, repairing it and putting it back in the car.â&#x20AC;? Mr Jones will drive his 1966 Mustang with navigator Arnold Soethout. Mate and fellow veteran rally enthusiast Neville Kearney will drive his 1975 Torana with navigator John Nelson. The two classic Geelong cars will tear up the backblocks of

Geelong exporters â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;threatenedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Ask about Somfy Remote Control!

Hike slammed some exporters out of the industry. Mr Smith, who sits on a horticulture industry taskforce under Federal Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig, said the increase was badly timed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Export industries are facing a downturn, especially in horticulture with the recent floods and the high Australian dollar. These fee rises could make many exporters uncompetitive and some may give it away as being too hard.â&#x20AC;? Mr Smith said the taskforce was lobbying Federal Government to resume the 40 per cent rebate. Chris Latham, who owns North Geelong-based Golden Dragon Marine Products, described the hike as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ridiculousâ&#x20AC;?.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will only stifle businesses that are already stifled. Do they want us to export more products or not? â&#x20AC;&#x153;All we want is a level playing field for small businesses. Fees should be more realistic and based on business capacity. A spokesperson for Mr Ludwig said the reforms would reduce costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Investments by the Government have already delivered a saving to meat exporters of $10 million in the 2010/2011 financial year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Further reform proposals stand to deliver a total of $30 million in reduced costs

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN QUARANTINE fee hikes of up to 3700 per cent could drive Geelong food exporters out of business, according to industry operators. They have blamed the hike on Federal Government withdrawing a 40 per cent rebate on Australian Quarantine Inspection Service (AQIS) fees. The AQIS â&#x20AC;&#x153;money grabâ&#x20AC;? could increase costs for some businesses from $330 to $12,000 a year, according to Australian Horticultural Exporters Association. Stephen Smith, of Geelongbased Global Fruit Exchange Exports, said the hike would send

Out of the blocks: Geelong Cross Country Club president Ken Walker with members Linda Solly, Yolanda Russell and Ben Smith. Ken said the club helped members “get the best out of themselves”. “Some of our members have done their best running with the club. “It’s like family. People get encouraged, they never get criticism and we always celebrate each other’s successes. “People often say it has been the best club they’ve been involved in and that it means a lot to them. “It doesn’t matter what happened during the week. It doesn’t matter if you drive a Commodore or a Mercedes – once we’re on the track we’re

all equal. “It always makes you feel good for a few hours afterward – it’s a natural high and gives you a sense of achievement when you complete the course.” The club has around 170 members ranging in age from 16 to 71. “I believe it’s the biggest cross country club in the state – that says something about the club as much as anything else,” Ken said. “We have the children of club members running with us now, so the tradition continues. “The club was founded by men but about a third of our

members now are women.” Ken said the club held about 24 weekly handicap races during winter, with a few spot prizes handed out. The club also hosts social nights and fundraisers four charities: Give Where You Live, Andrew Love Cancer Centre, Kids Help Line and Relay for Life. “We hold fun runs for them and that way we put something back into the community as a club,” Ken said. Ken said more information about joining the club was available by phoning him on 5243 0854 or 0421936794 or visiting www.gccc.asn.au.

INNOVATION 7048 The $50,000 IT Invention Test

MANY of the runners participating in Geelong Cross Country Club events are older than the club itself. Ken Walker is a case in point even through the club celebrated its 40th anniversary just a few weeks ago. The 57-year-old is still going strong, as are many of the founding and original members. “Some of our original members are now up to 600 and 700 races,” Ken revealed. “I’ve only been there a mere 30 years myself. “One of our members, Geoff Walker, has run every season since the club was formed in 1971 and has run a whopping 760 club races since then.” Ken said some famous running names were associated with the club. “Cliffy Young got his first running shoes from one of our members so he didn’t have to run in his gumboots any more,” Ken laughed. “Craig Mottram, Lee Troop and Steve Monaghetti have all had a couple of runs with us. “The club has certainly helped people along the way to becoming professional or semiprofessional athletes.”

John Mitchell

CRUISE ships will sail back to Geelong this summer, according to Mayor John Mitchell. Spirit of Adventure and Regatta would dock in the city on December 20 and February 12 respectively, he announced. Cr Mitchell said the bookings confirmed Geelong was an “appealing destination” for cruise operators.

“We also have promising leads for additional cruise ship visits in 2013 and 2014,” he said. Two cruise ships visited Geelong last summer, providing a financial windfall for traders. City Hall has plans to rebuild the city’s Yarra Street Pier for visiting cruises after fire destroyed the structure in 1988.

Immoral policy CHRISTINA Dengler (Letters, July 29) asked a good question: why is Julia Gillard in power after misleading voters about the carbon tax? Federal Labor’s policy of closing coal-fired power stations will lead to power blackouts and industry going offshore to source coal-fired power. The coal industry apparently will still prosper exporting Australia’s precious resource of coal. This is hypocrisy, incompetence and a blatant betrayal of voters’ trust. Having no mandate is not uncommon. Misleading voters is hard to swallow even if the issue is considered a moral one. How’s Martin Ferguson going these days? What about Simon Crean? Nicola Roxon? Kevin Guinane Gheringhap

Misleading advertising I READ Federal Government’s advertisement ‘What a carbon price will mean for you’ (Independent, July 29). My reactions ranged from confusion to anger then finally disappointment. I was confused because I had understood that the so-called “price”, which the Prime Minister previously referred to as a “tax”, was to apply to carbon dioxide emissions from Australia’s top 500 emitters, down from an initial 1000. The text contained 309 words but no mention of the words carbon dioxide or emissions. Instead there were numerous references to carbon pollution and big polluters. To what form of carbon pollution will the tax be applied? Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. I became angry about the Government’s justification for spending $25 million of taxpayers’ money on the advertising as educating the public. Why not say precisely what was being proposed: taxing carbon dioxide emissions from legitimate businesses? Why not tell us about the prime objective – the effect of the tax on global warming. A short statement based on the Government’s own calculations of by how many degrees the tax would reduce global temperature would suffice. No, the advertisement was not educational, it was propaganda. I lodged a complaint with the Advertising Standards Bureau because the advertisement appeared to fail the bureau’s misleading and deceptive advertising test. Lastly, I felt a great sadness when I reflected on my younger years as a staunch Labor supporter. That brought me back to this appalling incumbent Government, which seems rotten from the top down. Gary Matchan Mount Doran

Cold comfort WHY ARE electricity prices rising to the point where people are forced to turn off heating, which is akin to bucketing water on our gardens due to the Labor/Green no-dams policy?

Ferry hypocritical WHAT hypocritical nonsense from the Member for Bellarine to blame the Baillieu Government for failing to progress the Portarlington safe harbour project. It was her government that started this process in 1999 and declared it done in 2009 but then didn’t go ahead with the project after years of huge spending on consultants and input from the community. What a waste of time and money! No more credible is the failed 2010 Liberal candidate whose continued promotion of the fast commuter ferry fantasy and the requirement for ferry berths in the harbour has added to the delays in getting the harbour upgrade started. A fast ferry service has been declared by marine experts to be not only unreliable but necessitating running and maintenance costs at an unsustainable level, quite apart from the major capital cost involved to service a handful of business commuters. Department of Transport has emphatically declared the ferry project to be unviable despite the spin put out by the ferry group. Politicians and bureaucrats should put the ferry fantasy aside and get on with rebuilding Portarlington Pier and its adjacent foreshore for the benefit of the both the community and the highly successful mussel industry without continued wastage of valuable time. Just get on with it! Peter Cowden Bellarine

I TOTALLY concur with David Charles (Letters, July 29). Rising council rates, increased tipping fees and limited service. No hard or green waste collection, no discount for taking green waste to recycle centres and no free trailer-loads of mulch. There is also no discount for pensioners at the centres. In the past City of Greater Geelong’s response to complaints about this were a standard “stopped for OH&S reasons”. Pardon the pun, but that is rubbish! Maybe they should tell all councils across Victoria they are in breach of the Local Government Act or perhaps the City could take a fresh look at how it can improve services to ratepayers. Karen Reiter St Leonards

Here are a few facts. The former SEC Victoria kept power bills below CPI every year despite having a workforce twice the current size and paying an annual royalty to the state. Coal-fired power stations are by far the cheapest form of electricity generation, with coal representing only eight per cent of total input costs. Victoria has not built a new coal power station in over 20 years because we are told they cause global warming but nonetheless Australia exports huge quantities to China so it can build one new coal-fired power station per month for its people. Renewable energy sources such as wind power can never and will never replace coal power and are extremely expensive and unreliable but taxpayers spend millions of dollars per annum on direct subsidies to carpetbaggers who build these things. Why? To save us from the green monster known as global warming, which appears to have gone on strike this winter. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Julia Gillard tells us we must have a carbon tax to save the planet, which will push electricity prices higher still. Moreover, she wants to kill off Hazelwood power station as the first physical sacrificial lamb to the green gods. Green idelology has killed off reason and tragically could also kill people with the cold. Brian Handley Geelong

ENERGY Watch’s repetitive primetime television commercial represents how touchy we’ve become as a community about one-way, nondescript, minor, racial name-calling, which at best remains poor form. A sub-continental door-knocking male salesman sent packing by a blonde-mutton-dressed-as-lamb umpire in an under sized T-shirt! When will we see the roles reversed? You wish. Why the unchallenged acceptance of a commercial putdown given that, in the vast majority of cases, subcontinent punters perform the most menial forms of employment, demonstrating without effort or contrivance a genuine work ethic and courtesy.

Valli boys: OH WHAT A NIGHT! plays Geelong at the end of the month. lovers to attend the show regardless of their tastes. “I think the music is universal. The one thing I’ve learned about the show is it doesn’t matter the age of the audience or where they’re from, they all seem to enjoy it the same. “I’ve seen preteens singing the words and one lady even came up to me after one show and said her 86-year-old grand-

mother loved it – and she didn’t even speak English!” Solomon said audiences could expect to hear Franki Vallie hits including Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, My Eyes Adored You and Who Loves You. OH WHAT A NIGHT! will play Geelong Performing Arts Centre on August 30.

“I’ve performed all over the States and at several venues overseas and I’ve had people from Australia come up and say ‘I wish you would bring the show over to Australia’. “People have already made us feel so welcome and so comfortable. “I have adrenalin and excitement about coming over.” Solomon encouraged music

BY ERIN PEARSON GIGS in Atlanta, Las Vegas and New York have nothing on kicking off an Australian tour in Geelong, according to OH WHAT A NIGHT!’s George Solomon. Speaking over the phone from Las Vegas, Solomon told the Independent the tour would be his first time down under. Solomon was thrilled his musical tribute to Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons was on the way to Geelong. “You can expect a high-energy, feel-good show because this music is so timeless and the audience just goes crazy. It’s charming and contagious,” he said. “We’ll be bringing the original cast too, which is even more exciting for Australian audiences. First stop, Geelong!” Solomon began performing professionally at the age of 15. He went on to receive a New York Drama Critics Award for best actor, had the lead role in musical revue Stars On 45 and performed alongside Diana Ross, Bill Cosby, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, Harry Connick Jr and Liza Minnelli. Solomon said he had encountered many Australians along the way.

Collision course BY ERIN PEARSON RECORDING Children Collide’s new music video left little room for modesty, according to front man Johnny Mackay. The singer and guitarist parted with his formerly longblonde hair and donned face paint for the emotive shoot to back Loveless, the band’s latest single. Mackay said the concept for the video came to him “in a dream”. “My hair wasn’t keeping me warm much anyway but it did take me a while to get used to it,” he laughed. “I went from long hair to no hair in the clip, which also has me wearing clown makeup. “I had reservations about it in the beginning but it’s turned out really well. It’s all about feeling loveless.” Melbourne-based Children Collide played its first gig on Halloween (31 October) of 2006. Two years later its debut album, The Long Now, featured on Triple J radio. A few months later the tracks were featuring on Friday night football broadcasts and on video games. The band’s second album, Theory of Everything, hit number five on the ARIA charts on debut in 2010. Children Collide have also

INGREDIENTS: 400g butternut/jap pumpkin, cubed; one cup cauliflower, cut into pieces; one tablespoon oil; two teaspoons balsamic vinegar; two teaspoons kechap manis/soy sauce; six eggs; 40g parmesan cheese, grated. METHOD: Place pumpkin and cauliflower in a microwave dish and cook on high until just cooked, or about six minutes, then drain. Preheat oven to 180ºC and spray a square casserole dish 4cm deep with cooking spray. Combine oil, vinegar and soy. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium to high heat. Add pumpkin, cauliflower and oil mixture and stir until the vegetables are lightly brown. Beat the eggs and 20g parmesan and pour into the casserole dish. Add pumpkin/cauliflower mix and spread evenly. Sprinkle over remaining 20g parmesan and bake about 30 minutes until set. Serves four with a salad.

Skoda Czechs all the boxes BY ERIC BLAIR lthough it’s still very much a bit part player on the Australian car market, Czech company Skoda is one of the world’s oldest, having been making cars since 1925. After going nowhere in particular during the years in which Russia controlled Czechoslovakia, Skoda looked for a western European car partner in 1989. Eventually forming an alliance with Volkswagen in 1991, when the German marque took a 51 per cent share in the organisation. In 2000, VW took over complete control of Skoda, though the Czechs still have a solid degree of independence in design and engineering. Indeed, Skoda still thinks of itself as being a Czech car company. After all, Skoda can point out that its history is half a century longer than that of Volkswagen. The Octavia mid-sized sedan and wagon is one of two models that arrived here when the company rejoined the Australian market in 2007. While it’s largely based on the Volkswagen Jetta it does have a completely different body with a strong emphasis on interior space. The latest variant is the Octavia 90TSI becomes the first one to sell for under $25,000 (before on-

road costs) making it a serious competitor against its Korean and Japanese rivals. The outstanding price for the Octavia 90TSI has been achieved partly by the climb in value of the Australian dollar against the Euro, but serious bargaining between the Australian importer and Skoda’s head office has also played a part. The new Octavia 90TSI is powered by the same 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine that so impressed us when it arrived here last year in the Volkswagen Golf 6. It generates 90 kW of power from 5000 rpm and 200 Nm of torque between 1500 and 4000 revs. The engine proved to have enough performance for the person who is only interested in getting from point A to point B and is not in the least interested in owning a sports sedan. This new VW sourced powerplant is smooth, responsive and impressively quiet. The added benefit of the small engine is fuel economy and consumption is rated at 6.7 litres per 100 kilometres according to the Australian test standards. On test we typically found it using about six to seven litres per hundred kilometres on motorways and in the eight to nine litre range when running about town. Continued page 43

the solid feel that we’ve come to expect from vehicles out of the Volkswagen Group. Handling is precise with only a minimum of understeer under hard cornering. The Skoda turns in neatly and gives the driver a good feel of what’s happening at the tyres. The Czech Skoda Octavia 90TSI is well worth consideration by those desiring a good sized European car at a bargain price. The importer has made it very obvious the marque is here to stay and any fears of poor resale value that plagued the brand in the early days are quickly diminishing.

sport Dragons ‘to slay Saints’ GEELONG Football League’s game of the day is at Kardinia Park on Sunday when St Mary’s hosts Bell Park. The Saints hold fifth place but Colac is breathing down their neck and is expected to win its game against Lara, so the pressure to perform is well and truly on. Since coach Daniel Fletcher indicated he would not be coaching the club again next year the senior side has had a run of victories that has propelled it from an outside chance of playing finals to one of the from sides of the competition. Will McGregor, David Clarke, Luke Bath and Tim McLean are in fine form, with their side kicking 29 goals last week. Bell Park is in exceptional form, booting a massive 38 goals last week as Kristina Bucovaz fired with a haul of 13. The Dragons are on top of the

Local Footy FRANK MASON ladder and have class on every line and will be hard to topple. St Mary’s has everything to play for but won’t be able to match the star-studded Bell Park. Other selections: Grovedale v ST JOSEPH’S, COLAC v Lara, NEWTOWN v St Albans, SOUTH BARWON v North Shore, WEST SAINTS v Leopold.

BFL Defending Bellarine Football League premier Drysdale is hang-

ing on to a slim chance of making this year’s finals series. The Hawks will be out on Saturday to show whether that chance is realistic when they take on Ocean Grove at Drysdale Recreation Reserve. The Hawks are a game outside the five and will have to make every post a winner over the final three home and away games of the year to sneak into the five above Torquay. Simon Scott, Shaun Wells, Brent Taylor and Paul Davis are toiling hard but the side is really battling to beat any teams above it on the ladder. Ocean Grove is one such side, with the Grubbers enjoying a terrific year to rightly sit third on the ladder as a premiership fancy. Bernie Lynch is a key player for the Grubbers because he can play forward and back. His influence

will have to be curtailed for the Hawks to have a hope of winning. Over the years these two sides have delighted in wrecking the other’s season and this time its Ocean Grove’s turn to put the Hawks year on ice with a wellfought victory. Other selections: Modewarre v ANGLESEA, BARWON HEADS v Portarlington, QUEENSCLIFF v Torquay, Newcomb v AMATEURS.

GDFL Thomson looks likely to play Geelong and District Football League finals after Anakie lost games it should have won to give up its fifth spot. This weekend we will find out whether the Tigers are there by Anakie’s default or whether they’re good enough to give the flag a shake when they front up to

Galvin Park to play third placed Werribee Centrals. Werribee is the real deal, with coach, David Leatch declaring his side is ready to go one step further that its runner-up finish last year. This remains to be seen but he does have good players in Nathan Lovell, Blake Pilkington and Craig Hardingham at his disposal. Thomson is on at roll at the moment and its strength is coming from Russel Grigg, Dean Oakley and Jackson McLeod. Beating Werribee at home is one of the hardest jobs in the league but Thomson looks like it’s up to the challenge and will announce to everyone that it’s here to win finals. Other selections: INVERLEIGH v Anakie, EAST GEELONG v Winchelsea, BELL POST HILL v Bannockburn, Corio v GEELONG WEST.

It’s got to be perfect, it’s got to be worth it On the bite BRIAN LONG PERFECT conditions in salt and freshwater led to outstanding fishing over the past week. Renowned lure enthusiast John Mole found salmon at Fairhaven and Eastern View. Casting small metal baitfish-profile lures he caught and released dozens of fish in a hot two-hour session. Fred Jacobs enjoyed similar results during low tide at the mouth of the St George River where he caught and released about 30 fish on lure. Most fish were around 800g but he landed two rippers nudging 2kg. Todd Sharp fished with bait from the rocks at Grey River where salmon were abundant. Most averaged 1kg but Todd landed some over 2kg on bluebait and Surf Snatchers. Noel Richards casting his fly rod from the beach at Breamlea where small salmon were common, although a silver trevally of 1.6kg was the highlight of the day. Whiting anglers found the

Deep water: Brian Long with a 1kg rainbow trout from Deep Lake. entrance to Swan Bay and close in to Edwards Point rewarding, with fish averaging 34cm taken on both pippies and fresh squid baits. Similar size fish were also taken off Grassy Point and Hermsley on the same baits. Squid were consistent from all the inshore grass beds with shallow water of around 2m best. Jigs in the size 2.5 produced good results. Peter Carter drifed over the spoil grounds off Hermsley to find pinkie snapper dominant with his

best 49cm. Peter also caught flathead to 55cm and a few quality salmon on Squidgy flick baits. Paul Norton also fished this area with similar results but also nailed a ripper snapper of 5.2kg on a Turtleback worm. Anglers who fished close in to Bird Rock caught reasonable bags of whiting and flathead, with high tide running off the most productive period. Soft plastics anglers hammered the Geelong waterfront with mixed results. Captures were gen-

erally down but anglers who fished the high tides managed snapper, trevally and trevalla. Troy Norwood tried a night session at North Shore rocks where he didn’t wait long before a rod folded with a 3.1kg snapper. An hour later he landed another fish of 3.5kg. Snapper anglers prepared to put in long hours n Corio Bay reported reasonable success. The past week was quieter but fish from just 2kg all the way up to 8.5kg were still taken.

Locations producing the goods included off the silos, close in to Rippleside and the Stingaree Bay spoil grounds. Freshwater captures went from strength to strength, with Lismore’s Lake Tooliorook fantastic for rainbow trout from 900g to 1.4kg on bait, lure and fly. Bostock Reservoir also produced fish, with rainbows around 1kg dominating captures. Powerbait and lure were productive. Deep Lake yielded 1kg rainbows on lure and bait. Similar reports also came from Hepburn Lagoon and Newlyn Reservoir. Lake Elingamite returned some quality brown trout to just over 3kg along with redfin better than 1.5kg. Lure accounted for plenty of fish but bait anglers found mudeye ideal. Lake Bullen Merri produced the best results with big browns pushing over 5kg This weekend’s best bets will be Point Lillias to the Quarries in around 4m for whiting, on the morning tides. Trout anglers should look to Lake Tooliorook with either Powerbait or lures during the middle of the day. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Avenue, Manifold Heights.

NBL set to play again in Geelong MELBOURNE Tigers and Adelaide 36ers will play off in September when national league basketball returns to Geelong, according to officials. The pre-season game will be the first National Basketball League match in Geelong for four years. Fans will see Supercats star Nathan Herbert in action with the 36ers after he re-signed with the side this year. Herbert missed last season after rupturing his right ACL in a preseason match with the 36ers last September In his first Supercats game this year the co-captain shot 20 points and took five rebounds in 20 minutes. He said the match would be perfect for Geelong basketball fans and his family to see NBL action up close. “It’s great to have two long-time NBL clubs in the Tigers and the 36ers compete in local communities,” Herbert said. Geelong last hosted an NBL game when the nowdefunct South Dragons played two of its regular season games at the Arena in 2007. The last NBL game before the Dragons was in 1996 when the Supercats played their final season in the league. Melbourne Tigers recruited heavily in the off season, with new imports Ronald Dorsey and Ayinde Ubaka as well as young players Bennie Lewis and Daniel Dillon set to play in Geelong. Adelaide 36ers chief executive officer Leeanne Grantham said his side was looking forward to the preseason play-off. “We recognise the value of taking an NBL match to such a great regional city and in particular for the local fans to see one of their own in action,” she said. “We really hope the locals get behind the match”.
