Big walk a bit ruff By Luke Voogt Big-eating, energetic pooch Dora will join 80-year-old owner Peter Dessent on Geelong Million Paws Walk for the eighth year running next month. The walk is a family affair for Dora, who will pad alongside Peter, daughter Carolyne and granddaughter Alice at Eastern Gardens on 21 May. “It’s amazing there are so many dogs and they all get along,” Carolyne said. Peter described Highton beagle Dora as a connoisseur of odd treats, from chewing gum to Alice’s lip balm. “She’ll eat anything in sight,” Peter said. The clever canine even prised open a container a child would struggle with, digging into wife Norma’s medication and causing a costly trip to the vet. Continued page 4

Out of 300 extra ‘frontline’ police...

City cops 10 Veteran Trev’s on SES frontline P3

Ten extra police is a “fantastic outcome“ for Geelong, according to Superintendent Craig Gillard. Geelong’s top cop praised the reinforcements after the Andrews Government announced a state-wide boost of 300 “frontline“ police on Wednesday. The Geelong allocation was a “great show of

support from our Chief Commissioner and government”, Supt Gillard said “It’s dearly needed here and it’s going to increase our capability to provide an enhanced policing service for the community.” Supt Gillard was unable to detail how or where he would deploy the additional officers at “this early stage”. Their use would depend on factors such as

infrastructure, crime statistics and police workloads, he said. “From the outset you’ll see a rise in uniform police presence and response. It will help our people who are on the ground at the moment.” But coalition MP Simon Ramsay said Geelong needed more than 10 extra police to combat rising crime rates. Continued page 4

Developer fights refusal By Luke Voogt The architect behind a proposed 11-townhouse development in Geelong West has vowed to fight an “impending“ City Hall refusal at the state’s top planning authority. Tufan Chakir made the pledge after a council planner advised him they would recommend refusing the development at an upcoming panel meeting, he said. “In this case we just think the recommendations are ignoring council policy.“ Mr Chakir, a fellow of the Planning Institute of Australia, said City Hall had approved similar three-storey developments in Geelong West, Highton and North Geelong. The developments, on Spring Street, Barrabool Road and Victoria Street, were all near single and double-storey housing, he said. “(This) site is away from neighbours ... and

near excellent facilities and services. It is perplexing as to why there is such a negative attitude by council planners to this design.” Mr Chakir quoted City Hall’s Increased Housing Diversity Areas policy in support of his design. The policy encourages two and three-storey development near activity centres “where the amenity of adjoining properties will not be unreasonably impacted”. The property, at 5-9 Donaghy Street, neighbours a supermarket, single-storey home on Collins Street and former rope works. “(There is) no overlooking, no overshadowing (and) more open space than required,” Mr Chakir said. “If you can’t do this sort of thing here, where in Geelong can you do it?” Council officers had raised concerns about the development’s distance from Donaghy Street, Mr

NEWS

In Brief ‘Vigilante’ charged

Chakir said. The development would have a 5.4-5.9m frontal setback, greater than the four-metre minimum requirement for a property of its type under Victorian regulations. But the development’s upper level decks would be set back 3.5m metres from the street. “If setting back the balcony half a metre would make a difference, that would be quite easy to do,” Mr Chakir said. “Half a metre isn’t going to make a difference to the quality of the street but it does make a difference to the resident at a later date.” He added the neighbouring property, which faced Collins Street, had a setback of 2.75m on its west side (Donaghy Street). Council officers also raised concerns about the development’s lack of visitor parking. The application will go before a council Development Hearings Panel for decision on 4 May.

A man who made headlines last year for vigilante patrols in northern Geelong has been arrested in an allegedly stolen car. Nick Cross, 30, of Bell Post Hill, appeared in Geelong Magistrates Court this week on multiple charges including assault, a vehicle offence and breaching an intervention order.

Gaol sale City Hall has put Geelong Gaol back on the market after heritage dashed hopes of a sale to Barwon Health. Planners would prepare a new heritage strategy for the area surrounding the gaol to give any potential buyer “broad direction around land uses in the precinct”, City Hall said.

Harleys stolen Thieves have smashed a Commodore through a Geelong showroom window to steal two Harley Davidson motorcycles worth $65,000, police have alleged. The early-morning ram raid on Geelong Harley Davidson included the theft of a $35,000 Road King Special, one of the first of its model released in Victoria.

Rough trade Melbourne’s crackdown on “rough sleepers” had increased demand for homelessness services in Geelong, according to the region’s municipal alliance body. Latest figures indicated the Barwon region had about 1000 homeless people, with 120 sleeping rough, G21 said.

Stadium funding The cost of redeveloping Simonds Stadium is set to total almost $300 million over 12 years, after the Andrews Government this week announced funding for a fifth stage. The $90 million stage would expand seating to 40,000 and deliver “the best sporting stadium in regional Australia”, said Victorian Sports Minister and Member for Lara John Eren.

Gas down

Stepping up for service in the family of Barwon SES By Luke Voogt Trevor Clutterbuck has seen people “meet, marry and have children” during his 34 years at Barwon SES. “There’s been a lot of people come through but it’s always been a great bunch,” he said on Tuesday ahead of the unit’s 40th anniversary this weekend. Trevor has rescued crash victims trapped in mangled cars, helped find missing people, protected the elderly during storms and even hauled a cow from a dam with fire hoses. “It was too boggy to get the trucks in,” he said. “It’s good when you get that happy ending.”

A woman who saw the scene through the window of a passing car went from “looking in curiosity to horror”, he said. Trevor would later find out the woman was the driver’s sister. The former maintenance fitter is one of the oldest members of the 40-person unit, which includes students, lawyers and “people from all walks of life”. “I really pushed for a defibrillator for us overfifties,” he said. South Barwon SES will hold an open day at its Waurn Ponds headquarters on Saturday to celebrate the anniversary.

But Trevor has seen his fair share of horrors, too. The 55-year-old joined shortly before the notorious Ash Wednesday fires and has volunteered across the country during natural disasters such as Cyclone Yasi. He remembered searching burnt-out properties with police during the more recent Black Saturday fires. “All through the day you could hear trees falling (with) a huge crack and a thump.” He remembered one of his first car crashes when he and his crew had just covered the body of a dead male driver.

Garden begins Work has begun on a $1.9 million “raingarden” to harvest stormwater for central Geelong’s Johnstone Park, State Government has announced. The project would supply 60 per cent of the park’s “irrigation needs” while also providing additional garden beds and “new trees”, the government said.

New export restrictions on gas would help the refinery and “another large Corangamite manufacturer” whose gas costs had tripled, Ms Henderson said.

City cops just 10

Double Take

From page 1 “My expectation talking to local police was that there would be significantly more allocated to the Geelong region,” he said. “An allocation of 10 out of 300 in Victoria’s second largest city is not enough to give the police response the community would expect.” Fellow coalition MP Andrew Katos said Police Minister Lisa Neville should have ensured more of the additional police came to Geelong, as she had done for her seat of Bellarine in the 2015/2016 budget. “When it was for her own electorate she was happy to intervene. Corio and Geelong on their own could do with 10 extra officers and that still wouldn’t be enough.” Premier Daniel Andrews and Ms Neville joined Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton on Wednesday to announce the roll out, commencing next month. Ms Neville said the Government would introduce 3135 additional police over five years.

Surf Coast ratepayers must be wondering again - about the priorities of their council. Like the other two levels of government, it appears focused on issues that should be way down the list, or at least someone else’s responsibility. The proper order should have been blindingly obvious a fortnight ago when the councillors released their draft 2017/2018 budget. For a start, they could have prioritised the problem of expenses growing seven times faster than income. And the surplus falling from $2.9 million to just $426,000. And the 13 per cent increase in borrowings. And the $15 million capital works backlog. And the exploding staff costs. And so on and so on… But with their budget out for comment, what was this week’s hot topic of public debate for our coastal councillors? Whether to fly a rainbow flag over their office, of course! Given their finances, maybe they should fly the flag upside down - which is the official signal of distress.

“He then asked us to announce it on Facebook.” Written in sand, relayed online. Ephemeral and eternal. Nice!

Meanwhile, at least somebody on the Surf Coast has got their priorities right - even if they’re written in the sand. Torquay’s Alex Fisher showed his romantic smarts when he commissioned Sand Whisperers’ Ondrei Aiello and Stella Sanna to help him pop the question in unique coastal style. With the pair earning acclaim for stunning etchings on local beaches, Alex wanted a proposal too good to refuse for partner Narelle Mynott. “We created this sand formation for him and she said ‘Yes’,” Ondrei and Stella confirmed.

“Enough is enough”, cried Deakin University boss Jane den Hollander this week. Was she refusing another increase to her annual pay packet of around $900,000? Not on your Nelly - Geelong’s highest-paid public servant was on the front foot decrying any cuts to Deakin funding in next month’s Federal Budget. “Let’s invest in the future and in the next generation,” Professor den Hollander demanded. Fair enough, too, since we’re clearly investing enough in their predecessors. Right, Professor? Professor? Also with money on her mind is Barwon Heads’

SHE DID: Alex Fisher with his sandy proposal.

Big walk a bit ruff From page 1 “She got it open as clean as a whistle,” Peter said. Dora’s parents spoiled their beloved beagle, Carolyn said. “She had to go on a diet because the grandparents were feeding her too much.” Peter bought Dora - his first dog in 20 years - to get him walking and so his grandchildren could spend time with a pet. “It’s great for your health,” he advised. Dora, who shares her namesake’s love of exploring, follows Peter like a shadow on walks. But she won’t let him pick her up. “Only Alice can do that,” Peter explained. “Stubborn” Dora was also a “class comedian” at obedience school with “a mind of her own”, he said. But Peter’s grandchildren stepped up to tame the perky pup, albeit with the occasional food bribe. “Grandfather trains her the wrong way,” Alice said.

Georgia Imhoff as she prepares to step out in the fight against preventable blindness. Georgia will walk 60 kilometres in next months’ Melbourne Coastrek, raising money for The Fred Hollows Foundation. The namesake foundation of Australia’s most legendary eye surgeons hopes to reap $1.5 million from the coastal trek to Cape Schank but Georgia notes that she and her teammates have already benefitted as well. “In addition to fund-raising, preparing for Melbourne Coastrek has given us an unexpected benefit,” she explains, “it stopped us eating too many chocolate eggs over Easter.” Just like the Easter bunny at the Geelong Showgrounds egg hunt!

Renovators, pets in firing line

Gas, State sting ‘forcing up fees’ Rising gas prices and state imposts have forced City Hall to seek higher fees and charges across most community services, according to council administrators. The proposed 4.42 per cent average increase would help cover an estimated $600,000 in higher leisure centre gas costs and $900,000 extra for state planning charges, administrators chair Kathy Alexander said. The administrators’ draft budget proposes increases of 2.3 to 36.4 per cent for leisure centre membership, and planning permit hikes up to 156 per cent for household works such as restumping. Pet owners face fee increases of up to 500 per cent to retrieve pets from pounds. More than half the overall increase in fees and charges would cover costs “outside our control”, including the gas and state government hikes, Dr Alexander said. “Our services are not run on a profit-making basis,” she said. “Fee increases are purely to help cover rising costs associated with running these services and ensure a user-pays system where costs are shared fairly.” The three administrators’ first and last budget approved a two per cent rates hike, in line with a state rate cap, and a $7.75 increase in council’s waste collection fee to “partly” cover a compulsory EPA levy. The administrators forecast a $20 million reduction in debt after last year expressing concern over the $93 million they inherited from the previous council, sacked in April 2016.

KOALA-FIED: Janine Duffy, second from left, and fellow nature lovers on the lookout at the You Yangs.

Facebook ‘star’ Clancy finds friends Geelong koala enthusiasts will see their furry friends first-hand during free tours at the You Yangs next week. Staughton Vale researcher Janine Duffy said locals were fascinated to learn that some koalas living in the regional park were “world-famous”. “Clancy, the most famous wild koala in the world - with 32,000 fans on Facebook - lives in the You Yangs with his family,” Janine said. The Koala Clancy Foundation would run free, 90-minute mini-tours for National Wild Koala Day on 3 May and again the following Saturday, she said. “It’s our way of showing the community what we’re doing out here. “Wild Koala Day is actually Clancy’s real birthday.” Clancy, who was “possibly the first male koala ever to be continuously monitored without a tag”, would turn seven next week, Janine said. “We’ve been doing research in the You Yangs

for 11 years and his grandmother was one the first koalas we met.”. “Tickets are free but we encourage participants to make at least a gold coin donation per person,” Janine said. Barwon Heads’ Rebeca Normington said she had enjoyed the learning experience since joining the foundation in March. “I’ve learned so much about nature in my own backyard, met amazing people from all over the world and made some wonderful new local friends.” “Seeing the koalas and the results of the Koala conservation program makes me proud to call this place home.” Janine said anyone wanting to become involved could visit koalaclancyfoundation.org.au/ research/wild-koala-day. Avalon Airport has got on board the celebrations with a free Wild Koala Photo Exhibition in the departure hall from Saturday to 7 May.

But the $73 million debt budgeted for 2017/2018 would climb higher on new borrowings in subsequent years after the administrators finished their term in October, their draft budget revealed. Debt would reach $104 million in 2018/2019 before hitting $122 million two years later. The debt levels were within State Government “tolerances” but the impact on future budgets would be “significant”, budget notes said. Budgeted cash reserves would fall from $75 million to $62 million next year. The draft budget also forecast an increase in staff costs of $6 million to $152 million from overall operating expenditure of $414 million. The administrators’ “modernised” budget process proposed an additional $8 million for disadvantaged areas, Dr Alexander said. “We want money to be spent in the parts of our municipality that need it most.” The administrators proposed $3.3 million for works in central Geelong and $5.6 million for a “strengthened community grants program“, said administrator Peter Dorling. “Transparent criteria“ and “an independent assessment panel“ would choose community projects for funding, he said. The Community Investment and Support Fund follows the 2014 scrapping of a scheme under which councillors had $600,000 each to disburse among community projects within their wards. A state investigation found flaws in the scheme but cleared councillors of any impropriety.

THE CIT Y OF GREATER GEELONG

PROPOSED BUDGET 2017-18 MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINISTRATORS Dr Kathy Alexander, Laurinda Gardner, Peter Dorling to be spent in the parts of our municipality that need it most.

As we worked through the process to create a 2017-18 proposed budget for Greater Geelong we determined the need for a far more strategic approach to the allocation of City resources.

The 2017-18 proposed budget includes $8.12 million of funding for the areas of Geelong that are identiﬁed in the Socio Economic Index for Areas (SEIFA) as being within the lowest 20% for relative disadvantage in Australia.

We’ve modernised the City’s budget process and, having considered the allocation of resources in previous years and the current and future needs of our community, we’ve focused on the principles of equity and transparency to guide our decision making.

We’re also investing $250,000 to improve visitor services to support people with a disability to access our city centre facilities. REVITALISING CENTRAL GEELONG AND OUR WATERFRONT

Our key priorities for the 2017-18 proposed budget include:

We’re spending $1.66 million to progress action plan projects that will encourage future economic growth in our city, and more than $1.61 million on further works, plans and programs to revitalise

ADDRESSING SOCIAL INEQUITY One of our biggest risks to a strong and prosperous future is social inequity. We want money

It’s a wrap for scarf lady

Printer ‘first’ with plastic, water aid

By Luke Voogt

“World-first” Geelong research could solve the scourge of plastic rubbish while providing clean water supplies for many international communities, Deakin University has announced. A team at the Waurn Ponds Campus had developed solar-powered 3D printers fed with plastic litter to produce vital plumbing and sanitation supplies, Deakin said. Children’s charity Plan International Australia would trial the Geelong technology in the Solomon Islands later this year. “This kind of 3D technology can be used to rapidly replace broken plastic seals, pipes and other devices essential for water supply or sanitation. This is critical as many disaster zones and developing areas do not have reliable access to power,” team leader Dr Mazher Mohammed said. “The important Mazher Mohammed part of this project is its sustainability. Not only will the printer be able to use plastic rubbish found nearby but it will also run off a solar-powered battery.” Deakin said Dr Mohammed had already produced 3D printing filaments from different plastic rubbish including milk bottles to print basic plumbing parts. The potential applications of the technology were “limitless”, Plan Australia’s Tom Rankin said. “In the streets of Honiara plastic is literally everywhere. It clogs up the drains and flows out into the sea, killing marine life. “Our aim is to turn this plastic into useful parts. If we can prove the concept and get the technology working well, it can be used across a raft of different fields, not just water and sanitation. Deakin has a crowd-funding page at startsomegood.com/3d-wash-3d-printing-for-healthand-enterprise to help reach a $30,000 target.

Last year’s winner of Geelong’s Scarf Festival, Jean Inglis, has a lot of weaving left in her yet. “I’ve been doing it a long time so I’m not about to stop,” the 85-year-old told the Indy this week. The Geelong grandmother has weaved for 55 years since learning the art at a technical school. Jean won the Myths and Gods-themed Scarf Festival in 2016 with a spidery entry based on the ancient Greek tale of Arachne. In Greek mythology Arachne was a weaver so talented that the goddess Athena punished her by making her the first spider. “I was overwhelmed,” Jean said. “It surprised me because there were so many colours, while mine was black and white.” Jean said she had won a few “odds and pieces” over the decades, but 2016 was her first overall win at the scarf festival. “Something like that doesn’t happen to you too often, so that’s nice,” she said. Jean used the Japanese dying technique of Shibori to create her entry for this year’s festival, themed “Galaxies: a textile journey to infinity and beyond”. “It gives you a challenge and makes you think a bit so that’s good,” she said. “I didn’t know much about the universe and galaxy, but studied it and found it very interesting.” Jean used to weave for her grandchildren “but they’re teenagers now”. “When they get hand-spun wool they still throw it in the wash and it shrinks - so I don’t do that.” With entries closing on 30 April, National Wool Museum director Padraic Fisher was searching for local talent for the Scarf Festival now in its 14th year. He said to visit geelongaustralia.com.au/ scarffestival to enter. “Anyone can enter the Scarf Festival from school children to beginner crafters to accomplished artisans from Australia and abroad.

Explosive risk at fuel station

DRENCHED: Andrew Hunt took this photo of partially submerged cars on the Surf Coast Highway Monday night.

Flooding as rain pours in SES crews responded to more than 250 requests for assistance in Geelong, the Bellarine and Surf Coast, including several car and house rescues. South Barwon SES’s Scott Clarke said it was disappointing crews still had to rescue people from cars. “There were quite a few car rescues when the storm hit for incidents that were avoidable. That delayed us attending building-damage jobs and tied up our resources.” “The message is clearly out there to not drive through flooded roads but motorists continue to do it, putting their lives and those of emergency services personal at risk.” City Hall crews closed roads at Belmont, Grovedale and Marshall, including Reserve, Barwarre and Barwon Heads roads and Kidman Avenue. The rains flooded a number of buildings including the Bellarine Aquatic and Sports Centre and Boorai Centre in Ocean Grove, Geelong West Library and Geelong Bowling Lanes in Belmont.

By Luke Voogt The City’s William Tieppo apologised Wednesday for floods in low-lying suburban areas due to Geelong’s “stretched“ drainage systems. “Monday night’s unseasonable deluge severely stretched the capacity of our stormwater systems to effectively drain excess water off our roads and streets,“ he said. “I want to assure all residents that we are actively investigating all reasonable and cost-effective options to reduce the risk of flooding. “This includes a $5.2 million investment over two years to improve drainage in Portarlington, Belmont, Drysdale, Grovedale, Moolap, Ocean Grove, Clifton Springs and Hamlyn Heights.“ Flash flooding forced the closure of several Geelong roads as torrential rains drenched the city Monday night. The Bureau of Meteorology recorded 44.2mm of rainfall overnight in Geelong, but City Hall reported private readings as high as 60mm in Grovedale and Highton.

Water entering from over-flowing gutters caused the ceiling to cave in at the bowling alley, a spokesperson said An initial City Hall assessment indicated the worst hit areas were Grovedale, Belmont, Geelong CBD, and the Bellarine Penisula. City Hall also called off a number of sports and activities, particularly indoors, due to flooding. Geelong Weather expert Lindsay Smail said this April was the second wettest in the city’s history since records began in 1871. Geelong recorded its highest April rainfall of 182mm in 2001. “We’ve had about 140mm this month, so we probably won’t reach the record but it’s been wet enough,” he said. Mr Smail said the amount was 100mm above the average for April. “It’s about three and a half month’s worth of rain, and I think about half of it was in my garage. We had 55mm in Grovedale last night and approximately half of that fell in 90 minutes.”

An alert service station attendant has likely averted disaster after a man allegedly threatened to set petrol alight in Geelong West Wednesday night. Police arrived at the Woolworths outlet on Shannon Avenue at about 11pm to find the 36-year-old trying to pour fuel from a bowser, while holding a cigarette lighter, a spokesperson said. The attendant switched off the bowser remotely after realising what was happening. Police used capsicum spray to subdue the man before placing him under arrest. Officers took the man to Geelong Police Station, where they charged him with offences including resisting arrest, assaulting police and being drunk in a public place. Police expected to lay charges and the man, of no fixed address, was been bailed to face court at a later date.

Crash victim dies An elderly woman has died from injuries sustained a Bannockburn crash that killed a man earlier this month. The 79-year-old male driver of a Nissan sedan died at the scene on 12 April crash but his female passenger was left wih life-threatening head injuries, police said. An ambulance helicopter airlifted the 75-yearold woman to Royal Melbourne Hospital but she died of her injuries on Anzac Day. Police said the sedan, travelling south west on Clyde Hill Road, collided with a four-wheel-drive utility towing a caravan on the Midland Hwy at 4.30pm. An ambulance took the occupants of the utility, a man and a woman and a small child, to a Geelong hospital with minor injuries.

Maiden service a success by sea By Luke Voogt

HISTORIC: Crowds pack Eastern Beach for the first ever Geelong dawn service Tuesday morning.

Thousands of Geelong residents braved the rain for the first-ever Anzac Day dawn service at Eastern Beach Tuesday morning. Event organiser Rieny Nieuwenhof was surprised but thrilled at the attendance. “It’s hard to estimate, but I’ve heard figures of 3500 people,” the Vietnam veteran said. “It’s obviously something the citizens of Geelong wanted. The interest in Anzac Day has grown exponentially in the last 10 or 15 years.” Crowds packed the “natural amphitheatre” of Eastern Beach, which Mr Nieuwenhof described as a “magnificent” location for the service. Fellow Vietnam veteran Bob Thompson laid a single wreath during the ceremony, which “repre-

sented all the citizens of Geelong”. The service also included a flyover by two KA350 King Air training aircraft from an RAAF Base in Gippsland. “Because of the low cloud cover, you couldn’t see the aircraft but you could certainly hear them,” Mr Nieuwenhof said. The plans for the ceremony attracted controversy in the lead-up to Anzac Day, with neither Geelong RSL nor Torquay RSL supporting the event. But Mr Nieuwenhof and fellow dawn service committee members believed “Geelong should have its very own dawn service as Victoria’s second city”. “We spoke to the (RSL) presidents and explained what we were trying to do.” “We’re not trying to take over from them in

any shape or form, we’re just saying the citizens of Geelong deserve an alternative.” Torquay RSL President Ian Gilbank estimated between 6000 and 8000 people attended this year’s traditional Pt Danger dawn service. The service commemorated the fallen of the Australian Light Horse with a Bren Gun Carrier and a speech by Lieutenant Colonel Graeme Smith. Mr Gilbank said the Geelong dawn service and the rain had most likely reduced the attendance, which was down on recent years. But he acknowledged the crowd was “about what used to be normal” before the Centenary of Anzac in 2015. “We’re still happy with the turn out. It was a bit wet, but it was a small price to pay.” 'ADVERTISEMENT'

PROTECTED: Community Care Chemist pharmacist Jennifer Cao prepares David Pyne for the flu season.

Jab saves the day A quick trip to the chemist is all it takes to avoid being bed-ridden and miserable with the flu, says Community Care Chemist’s David Pyne. Locals can avoid the debilitating sickness for $20.80, or $10 if they are eligible for the Federal Government’s Immunize Australia Program. “It’s really nothing,“ David says. “You can lose several days’ work or contact with your family, and I don’t think anybody could put a dollar value on that.“ “Anyone over the age of 18 can come in and get a flu vaccination. You don’t have to visit the doctor.” In Australia, influenza on average causes 3500 deaths,18,000 hospitalisations and 300,000 GP consultations each year. A lot of people mistake influenza for a common cold, but the flu is much worse, David says. “When you get the flu, you’ll know it. It’s absolutely debilitating - your whole body aches and generally you really can’t do anything.” The chemist offers the quadrivalent vaccine which immunises clients against four strains, including the most dangerous and most prevalent. “It’s definitely not 100 per cent effective but it’s close,” David says. “And it gives you a better chance of fighting other strains because your body has to do less work to produce the antibodies to fight a new strain. “But even then it’s not very likely for you to get another strain.” Scores of double-blind experiments worldwide have confirmed it is impossible to get the flu from the vaccination. The vaccine works by exposing the immune system to the inactive “shell” of the virus, and the body responds by producing antibodies, David says. “When your body comes into contact with the actual virus, those antibodies are there and ready to kill it.” David hears anecdotes about people getting sick after the flu shot. He says it is possible to get mild symptoms a couple of days after the shot but “that’s due to your immune system in action.” He adds the body can raise its temperature to kill what it thinks is a virus. It is also possible to get the flu just before the shot or to get a rhinovirus (common cold) after it. Community Care Chemist’s stores have performed hundreds of vaccinations so far. And with Community Care Chemist’s stores already heavily booked, David encourages customers to book ahead. To book, phone one of Community Care Chemist’s stores at North Geelong on 5278 4300, Belmont on 5241 1755 or Geelong West on 5246 5850.

Letters Don’t just pay, protest gas prices The rising cost of Geelong gas, as referenced in last week’s Indy story headlined City seeking 'fair way’ to pay rising pool gas costs, is just part of what the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission last week called a national crisis in gas supply that threatens industry as well as public facilities and consumers. Instead of meekly paying the bills without protest, City of Greater Geelong should strongly lobby Federal Government and the ACCC to force gas producers to supply the domestic market. Also, the Victorian Government has added to the crisis by banning gas exploration and development in the state as part of the government’s war on fossil fuels and its unhealthy addiction to unreliable green power.

Jobs arrive on the wind Great news is that construction has started for a new wind farm at Mt Gellibrand, near Winchelsea, bringing jobs to the region and generating renewable energy to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It will contribute to the Victorian Renewable Energy Target, something all political leaders can back because a recent survey shows that most Victorians support more renewable energy production in the state. Maybe, we will have other wind farms and large solar PV arrays closer to Geelong in the future. Vicky Grosser Manifold Heights

Paying for staff, not services A few years ago a local businessman told me about an annual, legally required audit of City of Greater Geelong council. The auditors allegedly determined that nepotism was rife and that council was so overstaffed it could shed up to two thirds of its salaried staff without missing a beat in service delivery. No doubt, the claims had some merit. The public will, in all likelihood, never see the report. Council’s wages and salaries bill is upward of

$125 million from total expenditure around $300 million but council is always hiring, according to its weekly public notices. And given that most ratepayers would regard council as remiss in delivery of most services, concern about the use of their rates monies is warranted. Brisbane’s council was recently found to pay bonuses to executives on top of already ridiculous salaries. It would not surprise me if the same also happened here, or that it soon might. Given that State Government owns and operates councils, it has some questions to answer about its regulation of council salaries. If we do not get the best and brightest, why the massive pay? If staff levels were culled, possibly $80 million in savings could go toward providing some of the services ratepayers believe they are not getting. Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

Thank Evans for footy ideas Footy’s a unique code but does the AFL want to preserve and grow the game or see it morph into pseudo-components of other sports?

Email: editorial@geelongindependent.com.au 78 Moorabool St, Geelong, 3220 Fax: 5249 6799

Now that the on-field state of play can be influenced by purported racial interjection, appealing for deliberate out-of-bounds rulings, sleightof-hand dishing-off, and approval of 12-metre junk-time chips, that’s but part of the problem. Factor in goal umpires’ quintessential loss of autonomy, kicking backward, and the ever-present scrums, which all but rule out the spectacle of one-on-ones, in concert with appalling umpiring guesswork. Then add defenders without leeway with spoiling and the code’s got problems despite the incongruous fact 2017 attendances are up to date. While it’s refreshing that new clubs will more than likely have a shot at a premiership, muchneeded improvements to the fabric of the game, for all intents and purposes, lay dormant. Mark Evans, the AFL’s most-capable and attuned administrator and now Gold Coast Suns CEO, floated and trialled some sound ideas in his role as AFL football operations general manager. He was prepared to take on board input from coaches and the rank-and-file via AFL Fan Focus. The suggestions included a new-age-abbreviated footy experience of possibly shorter quarters

More and more country Victorians feel unsafe in their homes, which is no wonder. Victorian crime has skyrocketed 20 per cent since December 2014, so the Andrews Government’s soft touch clearly isn’t working. In the past year, assaults have spiked 11.8 per cent and robberies 24.4 per cent. Daniel Andrews has watered down bail laws, weakened sentencing, closed police stations and cut frontline police numbers. Now our justice system is at crisis point. Victorians have had enough. It’s time for a different approach. Addressing factors leading to crime is important but a tough law-and-order system is equally important. If a Liberal-Nationals government is elected in 2018, violent reoffenders would face mandatory minimum sentences for 11 violent crimes. Aggravated carjacking and aggravated burglary would carry minimum jail times of 10 years, with 15 for rape or one-punch manslaughter. Violent reoffenders guilty of murder would face a minimum 20 years’ jail. No more excuses, no more second chances; two strikes and you’re in. We would also seek to make three significant changes to fix our bail system: the presumption of remand, not bail, for violent crimes; a one-strikeand-you’re-in policy for breaching bail; and reinstating the offence of breaching bail for youth offenders. A Liberal-Nationals government would put the rights of victims first and ensure that penalties for violent crime reflect community expectation. Peter Walsh MP Member for Murray Plains

’80s icons older, wiser

Sculpture display

By Luke Voogt

Geelong’s sculpting talent will be on display in free exhibition running all of next month in the city. Octogenarian sculptor Graeme Bentley was one of scores of Geelong, Surf Coast and Bellarine artists who prepared pieces for the exhibition. “It’s something that I’ve enjoyed very much,” he said. “It’s given me a lot of satisfaction and pleasure over the years.“ The great-grandfather has worked with clay for 40 years. “I was busy working as a builder and I took it up as a form of relaxation,” he said “It takes your mind off other issues that can be stressful.” Graeme has enjoyed creating abstract sculptures and large ceramic vases. Recently, he produced a monster 80cm vase, one of two pieces he entered into the ex- FIRED UP: This whopping vase will feature. hibition. “It’s a miracle to be able to produce such a large pit-fired vase,” the Corio local said. “The process is very hazardous.” Graeme sold scores of vases during his clayworking days, but also kept a large number at home, to the delight of his wife. “She loves it,” he said. For decades Graeme has displayed his work at exhibitions in Geelong and Melbourne, but age has slowed him a little. “I’m tapering off now,” he said. “It’s getting a little too hard for me.” The Wintergarden Geelong will hold its fifth annual sculpture exhibition from 5 to 30 May.

“Weekend warriors” of rock Absolutely ’80s will return to Geelong Friday, blinged-up and ready to roll. The band features an all-star line-up of ’80s rockers including Brian Mannix (Uncanny Xmen), Dale Ryder (Boom Crash Opera) and Scott Carne (Kids in the Kitchen). “We’re here to help people get in the time machine,” Carne told the Indy last Friday. “It’s all about bringing out the crazy teenager in them all again. “We’re looking forward to getting to the pub, smashing out some hits and having some fun.” Absolutely ’80s formed in 2006 from the remnants of iconic Australian ’80s bands during a revival of the famed Count Down TV music show. “Brian and I had such a fun time doing that so we’d thought do a bit of a super group,” Carne said. “None of us ever thought we’d be in this position now - a lot of us have been in this band more than our original bands combined.” After decades of performing Carne and his band mates are addicted to the rock-star lifestyle. “If I sit around too many weekends at home I get a bit edgy,” he said. “It’s kind of our version of golf - if we didn’t have it we would probably go crazy.” But while their shows are just as “high energy” their schedule is not as packed as it was in the ’80s, Carne said. “Back then you were just worked to the bone. You didn’t question it - we were happy to do it but it was burning us out.” “Now we do a Friday night show, then a Saturday night show and then we’re ready for a body bag.” The band members have gone from being rivals to best mates, or as Carne put it:

By Luke Voogt

TIME MACHINE: Aussie rock icons Brian Mannix, Dale Ryder and Scott Carne. “Back in the ’80s we couldn’t stand each other because we were playing for the other football team - now we’re more like a retired league.” “There’s lots of people who were fans of Brian’s but not fans of mine who now are, and vice-versa, because of this show.” The ’80s icons are a bit older and wiser, but also more fun, Carne said. “None of us are pretentious now - I think that’s what getting older does to you.”

at n o s ’ t Wha

“We’re not the young insects we once were in the day, when we serious about our careers and a bit self-important.” The band will play their “’80s jukebox” of rock at the Gateway Hotel Friday night. “We pay tribute to a couple of fallen comrades, whether it’s George Michael, Prince or INXS,” Carne said. “It’s a fun show - we always change it up a bit.”

GOOD TIME TONIGHT: Geelong rockers Mr Meaner.

They’re the life of party scene By Emily Robinson Geelong’s newest cover band Mr Meaner will hit the Sphinx Hotel with a mix of punk, funk and classic party rock Saturday night. The current line-up has been together for a year now, with guitarists Jamie Stahl and Matthew Bird, Danny Meehan on drums and John Pirrotina on bass. “We came up with about 60 or 70 songs and a repertoire based on what everyone wanted,“ Stahl said. “We have about four or five regular venues the Sphinx has been one of our supporters right from the start, we did one of our first gigs there.” The band plays songs from the Black Keys, Dandy Warhols, Paul Kelly, David Bowie, KC and the Sunshine Band, Daddy Cool, Stevie Wonder, Kenny Logins, Dragon, INXS, and the Hoodoo Gurus, just to name a few. All band members grew up in the music industry, Stahl said.

“We were born into the business - I think I could play guitar before I could walk. I now work at Music Workshop in Geelong. “My dad was formally trained, but it never gelled with me. I learned playing guitar through ear - we all play for the love of it.” Stahl said rock fans flock to the Shpinx “knowing they’re going to have a great time”. “The younger venues have DJs and the like, but the Sphinx has been very good for live entertainment.” The four band members created Mr Meaner to “put together a party band”. “We’re four dudes - we have a lot of fun. We’re partying with the crowd and bouncing off what they’re doing. “In some respects, it’s kind of like our weekend away where we can have fun as a group of guys as mates. We’re all family men with wives and children.” Mr Meaner will play the Sphinx Hotel on 29 April and 27 May.

If the reviews on social media are anything to go by, Sakuratei Japanese Cuisine in Manifold Heights is a gem. The addition to Geelong West’s culinary culture has been reviewed as one of the best Japanese restaurants outside Japan. And that’s from well-travelled tourists as well as locals who have discovered the authentic delicacies served with a minimum of fuss. The real strength of Sakuratei is the extensive menu, with everything from soups and entrees, main courses of ramen, udon, bento boxes and curries to desserts. The teriyaki chicken and beef have proved popular, along with the dumplings and hot-plate meals. Owner Flora says although some meals are not necessarily on the menu, the kitchen is happy to entertain special orders. A range of specials is available at the sushi bar along with a takeaway service – and all at very affordable prices. Not only are the various dishes freshly cooked, they’re served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. After four years in busy Shannon Ave, Sakuratei has developed a loyal band of regular customers, Flora says. Sakuratei also has a customer car park for eatin patrons. The restaurant is open 10am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 5pm to 10pm Sundays. Sakuratei is at 161 Shannon Ave, Manifold Heights, phone 5222 6668.

Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Study Tour By Christine Couzens As the Member for Geelong, it is always an honour to represent the people of Geelong at the many Anzac Day services throughout the Geelong electorate. Anzac Day is not a celebration of war; it is a reminder to all of us of the devastation and loss of life that touches many. It is heartening to see so many people, including children, attending Anzac services to pay their respects and honour those who lost their lives or suffered injury through the impact of war and peace keeping activities. I recently had the privilege of being appointed by the Minister for Veterans, John Eren, to join 22 amazing school students who won the opportunity to attend the Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Study Tour visiting Darwin and Singapore. These students should be very proud, not only for winning the study tour prize but for their great representation of Victoria. Also on the tour were Veterans Dal Crocker and Lieutenant Colonel Nathan Crowley, teachers Ian Francis, Laura Robertson and Rose Hill and Veterans Branch tour managers Karen Gilbert and Angela Bourke, all of whom provided significant support to the students. These people gave all of us valuable insights into our own Australian history of war and that of the people of Singapore. I have always thought that I had a reasonable understanding of Australia’s war history, however as I visited the many sites on this tour I realised there was much more to learn. The aim of the study tour is to help Year 9 and 10 students to better understand and keep alive the memory of the Anzacs and their contribution to modern Australia, to understand and consider the realities of war and peace in our history and our world today, and to bring back their knowledge and experiences and share that with their

WELCOME BACK: Adam Brand will return to his “old stomping ground” Geelong next week. family, school and community, so that they also benefit from this experience. There were many highlights for me on this tour, in Darwin the underground storage tunnels and, sadly, the site of the Darwin Post Office, bombed by the Japanese, killing all of the workers inside. On this site is now the Parliament House which incorporated part of the original remaining wall of the Post Office building. We held a commemorative service at the Adelaide River War Cemetery laying a wreath at the Cross of Sacrifice.

The Tiwi Islands was a great experience, Aboriginal elders performed a smoking ceremony and welcome to country, shared their art and cultural history and the stories of the impact of war on their community. In Singapore, the Changi Museum, dedicated to those who suffered during the dark years of WWII was a chilling reminder of the atrocities of war and the experiences of POWs. The Battlebox at Fort Canning Hill where the decision was made to surrender to the Japanese in February 1942 was

full of historic stories, and the remainder of the Ford Factory building, now a museum, was where Singapore met the Japanese to surrender. We also visited and held a commemorative service at the Krangi War Cemetery. The Spirt of Anzac Study Tour is a valuable opportunity for students to learn first-hand the impact and involvement of Australia’s war history. Applications are now open for the 2018 study tour.

Single mum at top of her game

ON TOP: Michelle Winkle is taking care of business in the housing market.

Real estate agent Michelle Winkle has climbed to the top of her industry through sheer perseverance and hard work. “I’m not about just getting it sold straight away,” she says. “If it means taking a bit more time to get it sold at a higher price, I will spend that time doing it. “I’ve been through some really hard times - so I understand that every single cent makes a difference. That extra $500, or even $100, can make a big difference.” When Michelle started as an agent at age 29, she was a single mother of two with “not much hope or money in the bank”. “I was quite lost, and I didn’t have any financial security - I’d just left a bad relationship,” she says. “I decided I’d stop waiting for someone to save me and save myself. It was about showing my kids that they could do anything and achieve their dreams.” Michelle remembers struggling in the early days. “For two years, I was working 24/7 with little result,” she says. “But I didn’t get in it to chase the money - I got in it to chase success. I sold a pub once, and a farm, which is very different to selling a house.” She remembers visiting the eventual buyer for that farm - another farmer down the road. He had purportedly lost interest, but Michelle slogged across his property on a cold winter’s day to find out for sure. “I actually walked out into his muddy paddock in heels, which was ridiculous,” she said. “But taking those extra steps got the property sold to that farmer down the road. If you don’t

take risks you’ll always wonder. “Sometimes, it’s just about thinking outside the square. It was all about getting that one good testimony.” Her persistence would pay off: now 95 per cent of her sales are referral-based. “Which is what I dreamed of,” she says. A decade later, Michelle has won recognition as the best female agent in Victoria and the third best in Australia with a major real estate company. But she says her first award in 2008 (Personal Assistant of the Year) was her most memorable. “I never in wildest dreams imagined I would get up on the stage - I just thought the awards were for special people.” She still remembers her first sale, and 10 years later, she’s selling a home for them again. “I was a single mum who had no hope, and they trusted me to sell their house,” she says. “I don’t think anyone else wanted so badly to get that sale right.” “It’s an honour to work for them again.” Michelle's career includes selling 127 homes in a 12 -month stint, which confirmed her as a top performer in the Geelong. She says she has been lucky to have learnt from the best including Hayeswinckle managing director, Daniel Hayes. Michelle has an almost perfect rating on Rate My Agent, with a number of glowing reviews. “Michelle has wonderful enthusiasm and worked very hard to achieve an excellent outcome,” one review reads. “Most of all we appreciated Michelle’s real honesty.” To get in touch with Michelle Winkle, phone 0416 117 978.

Family baker founder Victor Routley.

Laurie Routley, now CEO, at work on the family's products.

Verna Routley behind the counter with staff.

True taste of Geelong in the baking A local family has made Routley’s Bakery synonymous with the Geelong region for more than 60 years. With a well-deserved reputation among other local families for beautifully baked goods, Vic and Verna Routley first started baking in 1947. The couple grew up in Geelong but the original Routley’s store was in Nelson Place, Williamstown. After World War II, the couple moved to Williamstown where Vic worked as a baker. He and Verna decided to buy the shop where he had been working and began operating it together. The couple’s working days began at midnight when they stoked up their big brick-lined Scotch

oven, fired with wood or briquettes. They would put the pies in first when the oven was hottest, followed by cakes and then the delicate sponges. In 1971 Vic and Verna handed on the baton to their son Lawrie and wife Anne. The couple expanded the business to its present state with the help of their five children: Simon, Penny, Michael, Kate and Sam. The Routley family now also includes 10 great-grandchildren, with the eldest, Michael, also now working for the business. Routleys has a firm reputation as one of Geelong’s best bakeries but stands apart from the field for the quality of its pies in particular.

The big variety covers ingredients ranging from prime beef, veal and chicken through to tuna and vegetarian options. Wholemeal options are available, along with poplar Cornish pasties, sausage rolls, bread, sandwiches and much more. Routley’s operates nine outlets, including shops at Lara, Torquay, Colac and around Geelong. A catering service is also available, offering an ideal option for corporate events, family gatherings and club functions. Routley’s flagship North Geelong shop is open 6.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday, 7am to 4pm Saturdays and 9am to 4pm Sundays at 322

Melbourne Road. The North Geelong bakery offers daily specials, such as $5 packs of pies and cakes, $2 loaves of bread and $2 bags of rolls. Customers are invited to speak with staff about Routley’s delicious range of special-occasions cakes. The bakers can even make exotic chocolate croquembouches. More information about the company and its products is available at routleysbakery.com.au. Routley’s also invites customers to like its Facebook page to keep abreast of the latest specials.

Years of experience count in law After 25 years working in the law, Brendan Fennelly knows how to make his clients feel valued. Often people come to Fennelly Legal after receiving a referral from their family or friends. “We’ve had generations of clients,” he says. “We’ve seen grandparents, parents and now even grandchildren, and we like to treat them as part of the family.” Brendan says with bigger firms, clients might see someone different every time they walk in. “With us you get consistent representation and you’ll see the same person every time - me. People want to feel comfortable with their legal representative. “When people see us they want the peace of mind that their best interests will be served in an efficient and cost-effective manner.” Brendan runs his Belmont-based familyowned firm with wife and office manager Maree, who ensures everything “runs smoothly and clients’ needs are attended promptly”. “She’s the friendly face of the practice,” he says. “She’s been here for quite a while. “We’d like to think we’re a smaller family-oriented firm.” Fennelly lawyers handle a wide range of legal issues including conveyancing, family law, succession planning, business law and administration of deceased estates. “We take the time to understand your needs and find the best possible solutions to your legal problems without charging you the earth,” Brendan says. Brendan specialises in elder law and has a detailed knowledge of the Retirement Villages Act. “We’ve got considerable experience in that area,” he says. “Some developments that are advertised as retirement living don’t provide the protection of the Act.”

The friendly team at Fennelly Legal: Maree and Brendan Fennelly, Alicia Downie and Carol Seymour. 167655_01 “We help people who wish to enter retirement villages and we assist residents where disputes arise.” Brendan is a graduate of the University of Mel-

bourne and was admitted to practice in Victoria in 1989. The Highton resident is a long-time board member of both Belmont Rotary Club and Gee-

Owner Rob White grew up around trucks, cars and motorbikes, and has always had an interest in classic cars. “We often have people coming in just to admire some of the old classics that our team work on,“ he said. “We’ve had Mustangs, early Holdens and Fords, Dodge Phoenixes and early Chevrolets. We’ve even had a 1937 Packard, to name a few. “The time and effort people put into restoring some of these old cars is phenomenal. It’s great to see these cars still on the road.“ Mr White said they had many loyal customers who had been coming in for the 30 odd years WWA had been in operation since ’91. “We now even have our older clients’ children and grandchildren coming in,“ he said. “We always have one-on-one time with our customers and have a bit of a friendly joke around together. “We take enormous pride in our work.

Improving a car’s power by up to 30 per cent while actually improving fuel economy sounds like a big ask for a Land Rover, BMW, Mini or Jaguar or other European marques. Not so, says Hunter Cuthill director Adam Hunter. It’s readily achievable by using top-line Autologic technology, he advises, adding that it’s also a sound way of ensuring efficiency performance in a more-sustainable fashion. Hunter Cuthill, in Geelong West’s Autumn St, specialises in quality independent servicing and repairs to all BMWs, Land Rover, Mini and Jaguars - as per factory schedules and directives and with full book service. The business also services car makes including Peugeot, Renault and Citroen. It is the only service centre in Geelong outside of direct dealers with the software and diagnostic equipment for these brands. “We utilise state of the art diagnostic equipment from Autologic, the world’s leading independent vehicle diagnostic software,” Adam says. “It’s the only independent tool that can program control units. Autologic also offer software power upgrades for diesel and some petrol engines, giving 30 per cent more power while improving fuel economy.” Hunter Cuthill is also right across the best battery choices to meet the energy demands of European cars. VARTA batteries, powered by AGM technology, feature advanced equipment such as start-stop technologies and regenerative braking systems. “This is a battery that delivers optimal performance, faster conductivity and reliable starting power, even when the charge is low,” Adam says. “AGM batteries deliver up to eight times the cyclic stability of conventional flooded batteries resulting in a longer battery life.” Hunter Cuthill is at 9 Autumn St, Geelong West, phone 5229 4299 or visit huntercuthill. com.au.

SPORT Swift Cats for fast start A fast start could be crucial in the Cats’ clash with Collingwood at the MCG Sunday, according to in-form midfielder George Horlin-Smith. “We’ll be looking to do things during training that will help us start well in the first 10 minutes,” Horlin-Smith said at Simonds Stadium Wednesday morning. “We’ve got a couple of sessions this week where we can try those things, and hopefully they come out on the weekend.” The Magpies stunned the Cats in round nine last season, booting the first seven goals of the game to snare a 44-point lead at quarter-time. They fought back strongly from there but ended up falling 24 points short. Horlin-Smith was adamant the Cats wouldn’t be caught off guard again. “Regardless of who we’re playing, we really want to start the game well.“ Horlin-Smith said controlling the midfield would be vital against Collingwood, which had plenty of talent in the middle of the ground. “They’ve got some champion players, and we’ll have to put some time into making sure that they don’t influence the game early so that we can start well.” Horlin-Smith again had a stand-out performance against the Saints, with 27 possessions and a goal. He was instrumental in a Geelong goal which started a last-quarter avalanche.

COMMUNICATOR: George Horlin-Smith says the Cats need to improve their starts. The Cats will look to him for leadership in Sunday’s clash with the Pies. In a post-match press conference, Cats coach Chris Scott praised Horlin-Smith for his improvement in both skills and communication. “He would be an example of a player that has a much bigger influence over our leadership and

how we set up than most people would give him credit for.” The Cats have continued to smash their opponents in last quarters and accuracy, with eight goals to one in the final term against the Saints. “We were good enough to hang in when they had the momentum and ran out the game really well,” Scott said. But he said Cats needed to improve their whole game and warned they couldn’t rely on their finishing. He shrugged off suggestions the Cats were one of the fitter teams in the AFL. “The numbers do suggest that if we’re close enough in the final quarter we can win it,” he said. “But we shouldn’t be relying on that.” Cats captain Joel Selwood had yet another stellar performance with 43 possessions. “All roads have led to Joel when we’ve been under pressure,” Scott said. “His game today was spectacular.” But Scott added Geelong’s young midfielders had improved dramatically, reducing the side’s reliance on Selwood at the bounce. The versatile Blicavs was “super” against the Saints and integral to the side, Scott said. “We were asking him to play in the ruck a fair bit today.” “And then when (Jack) Steven was getting away from us we asked a 198cm ruckman to go and play on a really short, quick guy who was probably the best player to that point.”

KICKING GOALS: Sol del Este coach, Victor Pinto and Geelong midfielder Lelo Sejean.

Lelo signs with soccer big league for coming season Geelong midfielder Lelo Sejean will play soccer in Paraguay this year after signing with a club in the country’s second-best league. The 26-year-old winger will play for Sol del Este, based in the second largest city of the soccermad country. “The game is such a huge part of the culture here,” he said. “It comes first for them, before food.” Sejean moved to Argentina at age 18 to play for Sportivo Ameliano in 2013, after learning Spanish, and had relished the challenge of playing in South America. “Being Australian, I’ve always had to think of ways to stand out and convince clubs and agents that I’m worth the risk.” During the past few years Sejean has split his time between Australia and South America, with year-long stints of relentless training and trials. “Sometimes I’ve had to go to extreme measures like sending in videos of me doing hundreds of accurate corners, juggling, free kicks into crates and things, just to get their attention.”

Sejean’s coach at Sol Del Este, Victor Pinto, said players with a difference are hard to come by. Pinto played in the top league in Paraguay alongside national football heroes Salvador Cabanas and Dario Veron. “I spend a lot of time with my coach,” Sejean said. “I am also his assistant for the youth teams at Sol Del Este. “He has a little soccer pitch in his back yard, so sometimes we’ll have small early morning training sessions at his house.” Sejean aims to eventually make the transfer into first division and then tackle Europe or Asia. “From First to Fourth Division, there are all of these transfers happening, player movements, and it’s great,” he said. In 2015, Sejean married his Paraguayan girlfriend, Liza and he teaches English on the side. On recent visits home last year, Sejean played soccer with the University of Melbourne and Surf Coast teams.

Sejean also represents his state, Alto Parana, in javelin. His athletics coach, Edgar Baumann, has held the South American javelin record since 1995. “The vice-president of the Paraguayan Athletics Association, who was also my nutritionist at the time, got me the gig with Baumann,” he said. “He adjusted my cardio training and Edgar trained me, I went from 78-79kg to about 74kg.” Sejean represented the Under 16 Victorian Futsal Team at the Futsal Nationals, Canberra and was invited to join the Australian Under 16s for a tournament in Spain, but had to turn down the offer at the time due to lack of funding. He played Australian rules before switching to soccer to play for North Geelong and Sunshine George Cross. His coach at the time, Victor Cristaldo, was one of the few Australian players to make it in South America after a stint at Paraguayan club Sport Columbia.

Squid aplenty at Clifton Springs ON THE BITE Chris Pitman Squid were plentiful off Clifton Springs over the past week, especially on the shallow grass beds in 3m to 4m. Drifting slowly and casting size 2.5 or 3 artificial jigs was an effective approach, with bag-limit captures and respectablesize squid common. Anglers also spotted garfish holding over the same ground. Whiting again dominated reports from St Leonards, although they were sometimes hard to tempt. Drifting out from the Old West Channel marker in 12m to 14m water was a sure way to boat a feed of flathead on bluebait or squid. The grass beds just outside Swan Bay produced some impressive-sized squid on the top of high tide. Casting size 3 blackcolouration jigs worked well. Swan Bay’s channel produced a mixed bag of whiting, pinkie snapper and flathead. Anglers fishing land-based from the rocks at St Helens anglers encountered good numbers of pinkies. Paternoster rigs baited with half a pilchard and cast long worked well. Surf Coast anglers spun up Australian salmon from rock platforms either side of Lorne. School-sized tuna began showing up at Portland. Gone Fishing Charters guided his clients onto plenty near Cape Bridgewater, with the fish preferring to X-Rap 20s and skirted lures. Freshwater fishing showed no sign of slowing, with newly opened Stoney Creek Reservoir popular for rainbow and brown trout along with some thumping big redfin. Spoon-type lures like the 12g Norries Wasaby worked well. An interesting tactic on the calmer days was to cast bent minnow lures to trout spotted rising. Some of the redfin encountered at Stoney Creek went an impressive 44cm. Lake Purrumbete continued producing large numbers of smaller-model redfin, with the odd larger fish thrown into the mix. But what really caught anglers’ attention was huge Chinook salmon, including one just over 8kg reportedly boated over the weekend. Next door, Lake Bullen Merri’s rainbow trout remained on the chew. Casting baits from the bank caught fish, as did trolling diving lures such as Daiwa Double Clutches. Next week should provide good fishing for squid at Clifton Springs or in front of Swan Bay, while casting soft plastics along Geelong’s waterfront should catch pinkies and flathead. Freshwater fishos could try Bullen Merri for rainbow trout an all methods or Purrumbete for trophy Chinook.
