123 extra but none at Geelong hospital

Guards bypass city ED By Luke Voogt Geelong’s busiest emergency department has missed out on influx of security guards for hospitals around Victoria despite increases in threats toward staff. Barwon Health declined to apply for Geelong Hospital’s share of the 123 additional security guards, opting to upgrade security at a palliative care centre instead. The State Government provided $71,333 to increase security hours at North Geelong’s McKellar Centre, said Barwon Health chief executive officer Ruth Salom. “For some time now, we have had on-site security at the McKellar Centre after hours, and it is great that this now can be extended to 24 hours a day,” she said. “This will give peace of mind to the many residents, patients, staff

Barwon Health had identified the centre as a priority after already increasing security at Geelong Hospital, Prof Salom said. “We put in place an extra 24/7 security (guard) in the emergency department this year and have increased security at University Hospital Geelong by a third. “Security on the University Hospital Geelong site is provided 24 hours and this additional funding for McKellar reflects how busy this site has become.” The decision to base the guards at McKellar comes after reports of a 60 per cent increase in threats towards emergency ward staff.

Tagged rare chick ‘killed, dumped in 13th cover-up’ An endangered shorebird chick dumped dead with dog faeces in a Barwon Heads bin has enraged ecologists who are trying to save the species. A tracking device fitted to the rare hooded plover led the team to its grisly discovery at a 13th Beach entry point, said project leader Tom Schmidt. A dog mauled the flightless chick before the dog’s owner tried covering up the incident, he suspected. The discovery left the team in “utter shock”, Mr Schmidt said. “We knew the signal was coming from the bin, so we had to scan each item in the bin to locate the chick. “The whole time I was thinking to myself that this must be a mistake, how could a small flightless chick of a threatened species end up in a bin? “The tiny body was tied into a bag containing dog faeces and the injuries were consistent with

dog attack. Internal organs protruded and a second bag was used, apparently to conceal the evidence.” Mr Schimdt and fellow Deakin University team members were radio-tagging hooded plover chicks to recover any dead birds for “post-mortem inspection”, he said. “From the bodies we found we determined dog and bird attacks were the lead candidates as causes of death.” Mr Schmidt urged Victorian beachgoers to “leash their pets” as the hooded plover struggled to survive as a species. Deakin wildlife and conservation biology Associate Professor Mike Weston described the plover chicks as defenceless “balls of fluff ”. “The battle to save threatened shorebirds which breed on our beaches rages every spring and summer as thousands of Victorians and their dogs enjoy time at the beach, and the birds desperately try to breed,” he said.

“Sadly, the chances of surviving from hatching to the age at which they can fly, a mere 30 days, are so low that chick death is considered a major conservation problem.” The “shameful act” at Barwon Heads demonstrated the role of unleashed dogs in the demise of the hooded plover, Prof Weston said. “This is not a trivial matter. Beachgoers must obey the prevailing rules and regulations, particularly the leashing laws. “Responsible dog ownership on beaches means that dogs should not be able to hunt and kill birds or other wildlife. “Our philosophy has always been to find solutions to promote coexistence, to share the beach, with restrictions as a last resort. “The dog walking community on our beaches needs to rise to the challenge - we need them to help save this species.”

In Brief Remains found A walker has discovered the remains of a woman on an Anglesea beach near where a mother-of-three disappeared on grand final night. Police hadn’t identified the remains when the Indy went to press on Thursday, as the search continued for 43-year-old Elisa Curry.

Cop busted Police have caught an off-duty leading senior constable driving at 156km/h in a 100km/h zone at Wallington. Police notified Professional Standards Command and expected to charge the Western Region officer on summons over the incident last Friday night.

Dogs ‘attack’ A woman has suffered a broken arm after two dogs allegedly attacked her while she was walking at Belmont, according to Geelong police. Officers seized one of two Staffordshire terriers allegedly involved in the incident on Monday night, with the 45-year-old treated in hospital for her injuries.

Refugee funding A State Government grant will help improve the mental health of refugees in Geelong, two local MPs have announced.

‘Rentvestors’ in view of Geelong

GIVE HIM A HAND: Alain Bakulikira is one of the stars of Six Hours in Geelong.

Six Hours exploring racism at home Young refugees have used their experiences of racism in Geelong for a new mixed-arts theatre production. But despite the inspiration for Six Hours in Geelong, cast member Alain Bakulikira said he was still proud of his home town. “We all do experience racism in different ways,” said the 22-year-old, who was born in the Congo and raised in Kenya before moving to Australia aged 14. “I used to think back in Africa that racism didn’t exist but since coming here I have found that it does exist. “In this production we want to show that we can all be as one and work as one - we want to show that Geelong is still alive. “It’s a town where I am proud to be for the rest

of my life. I want people to see that Geelong is a place to come to.” Six Hours in Geelong combines rap, spoken word, cultural dance and songs. The Geelong Edge Ensemble production was based on a true story about young refugees witnessing an Islamophobic incident on a Melbourne-Geelong train, prompting them to question their identity, friendships and sense of belonging. The ensemble comprises 11 young artists from Middle Eastern, Pacific and African backgrounds. Bakulikira said the production had drawn the cast close together. “I was struggling with my script and it was a moment I will never forget - they came over and helped with my words. “We’ve been through ups and downs together but they’re like family to me,” he said.

became a partner in the website. Indy managing editor Tony Galpin said view.com.au arrived at an ideal time for local investors. “The ability to look up the prices and previous sales value of as many properties as you like for free is a real advantage to investors,” he said. “Market insights such as this usually come from other companies at a charge per property, so it’s a great way to do your homework without accumulating big bills.” Property 360 was also invaluable to anyone wanting to sell their home or find out the previous and current selling prices of other properties, Mr Galpin said. “Even if you’re not selling or buying it’s just a lot of fun looking up all the figures on any home you choose. “It’s certainly entertaining, with useful information, too. “And if you are in the market for a new home, view.com.au has lots of local listings and rentals as well. “It’s a complete real estate website with the added value of Property 360.”

Geelong has emerged as a hotspot for investors seeking rental properties, according to a national price comparison expert. A fall in vacancy rates and rising house prices made the city a target for “rentvestors”, Mozo’s Steve Jovcevski said. Vacancies had halved from five to 2.6 per over the past 12 months, but the median house price had increased almost 7 per cent to $647,000, Mr Jovcevski said. He also noted Geelong’s proximity to Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road along with “strong work opportunities in education, health care and manufacturing”. “With a strong drop in vacancy rates and steady price growth in houses, Geelong makes a smart investment given its prime location, stable job market and solid infrastructure,” he said. The assessment follows the launch of a new property insight tool covering every residential address in the Geelong region. View.com.au’s Property 360 gives users current valuations and past sale prices for more than 10 million properties across Australia. Users can also obtain updated price estimates for additions such as extra bedrooms or bathrooms. View.com.au is a relaunch of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria’s previous website. The new site retains its predecessor’s listings of houses for sale and rent but adds the insights tool and other functions. The Indy has been promoting view.com.au since parent company Star News Group recently

Double Take Without the pulling power of a footy star to rely on, running mates Anthony Aitken and David Withington are putting in harder yards than most to win their ward’s only two council seats. Separately and individually they’ve been Windemere’s everywhere men, out and about day and night to press the flesh for votes. But this week their enthusiasm earned more attention than they would have liked from the local constabulary. The pair descended on Lara Railway Station at 5.15am - yes, 5.15am - to, as Anthony explained on Facebook, “greet commuters”. But after “a good two hours of engagement” police arrived. “Apparently you need a permit from V/Line to campaign,” Anthony posted. The pair was duly “moved on” to campaign elsewhere. At least Anthony saw the bright side. “You learn something and have new experiences every day,” he observed.

ies along Malop St each Friday. First off the rank is Rook Sri Lankan Fusion today (13 October), with more to come on subsequent Fridays. It’s a small but worthwhile contribution for sure - and a wise choice of name considering the yuck-sounding alternative of Lunch on the Spine! You can park in a disabled space. You can jump the queue at ALDI. But, for God’s sake, pick up after your dog! That was the message from responses to last week’s Indy story about a crackdown on doggie dumps in the You Yangs. A Facebook link to the story drew the biggest response of the week, with commenters in furious support of the operation against trackside barker’s eggs. “About time, it’s everywhere,” posted Melissa Hicks Hains, “very annoying,” added Lyn Rasmussen, while Charlene Angus, among others, was “over stepping over dog s..t”. Clearly, canine crap gets up our nose in more ways than one!

The way to a man’s heart might be through his stomach but a similar route could also support battling businesses in central Geelong. That’s the strategy of Geelong Chamber of Commerce, anyway, as it launches, or should that be lunches, into a new initiative for Malop St traders. The operators between Moorabool and Yarra Sts have been doing it tough after their section of Malop St was ripped up and closed for works on City Hall’s Green Spine project. And that’s only the start, with the project eventually redeveloping the entire strip between Johnstone and to Eastern parks. So, to help, the chamber’s promoting Lunch on the Green, encouraging its 900-plus members to put on the nosebag at selected eater-

Continuing the theme, poo was also an issue at the other end of the region this week - albeit from a much-less agreeable source. Human waste was the target of MP Richard Riordan as he slammed the dearth of dunnies along the Great Ocean Road. As he explained, the consequences were causing a real stink in roadside bushes. Erk! But what’s the fix given the road’s extensive maintenance backlog and tight public funding? “Pay-to-poop” facilities, Richard suggested. Hmm. Sure puts a new spin on spending a penny!

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Progressiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; women push funded By Luke Voogt A state-funded push for more â&#x20AC;&#x153;progressiveâ&#x20AC;? women on Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council is open to both sides of politics, according to its organisers. Women In Local Democracy (WILD) would support â&#x20AC;&#x153;conservativeâ&#x20AC;? female candidates who supported a charter for gender equality on the council, said convenor Jenny Wills. The Andrews government gave WILD $5000 in July for candidate workshops ahead of the elections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;WILD is keen to see progressive women candidates elected who are passionate about community,â&#x20AC;? Ms Wills said when announcing the workshops. This week she clarified that â&#x20AC;&#x153;progressiveâ&#x20AC;? referred to supporting the Victorian Local Government Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Charter. WILD supported only women who followed the 1996 charterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principals of gender equality, diversity and active citizenship, she said. Women comprise just under a third of candidates for this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Geelong elections. The number put Geelong on track to reach Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council average of 38.1 per cent women, Ms Wills said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With 17 women standing across Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four wards, electors have the choice of voting for women.â&#x20AC;? Brownbill has the strongest female representation of Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four wards, with almost half the 18 candidates being women. Kardinia has the lowest with two of 11. Politically left-leaning candidates outnumber right-leaning counterparts 17 to two, according to official nomination statements and known affiliations. Twelve of the 53 candidates declared political endorsement: six from the Animal Justice Party, four from the Greens and two from Socialist Alliance. Five declared Labor affiliations and one was a Liberal party member. Another, Ron Nelson, confirmed his Liberal membership but declined to list it on his nomination statement. The government introduced a questionnaire this year to increase the â&#x20AC;&#x153;clarityâ&#x20AC;? of candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; backgrounds. Optional, it asks about political endorsement, not affiliations.

WATCHFUL: Victorian Chief Municipal Inspector David Wolf has his eye on Geelong. (Luke Voogt) 173882

Council â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;would have avoided the sack under new lawsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; New investigative powers could have prevented the sacking of Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council, according to Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chief Municipal Inspector. Legislation at the time prevented the referral of State investigations of bullying at City Hall to the Local Government Inspectorate, David Wolf said. But now the inspectorate could investigate re-

ferred individual complaints under the Local Government Act, avoiding any mass sacking, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The objective of the new framework is earlier intervention to deal with individual cases before they become a bigger issue.â&#x20AC;? The Indy reported in January that a panel had upheld four bullying complaints, leading to the departure of â&#x20AC;&#x153;severalâ&#x20AC;&#x153; people from City Hall.

Mr Wolf cleared five sacked councillors recontesting the elections of any breaches but encouraged voters to check candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; credentials online and to beware of dummy candidates before casting postal votes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The electorate is pretty savvy.

Mums take lead for Step Up time By Luke Voogt Local mothers and the Geelong community will “Step Up” on Sunday during a walk to support children with Down syndrome. Jo Montano helped bring the Down Syndrome Victoria fund-raiser to Geelong after the charity supported son Alex’s transition into mainstream schooling in 2016. Jo and her husband found out Alex had Down syndrome after his birth, but knew he had an increased risk from prenatal screening. The Indy caught up with Jo recently after she shared Alex’s story last year. “He’s in Grade 1 and he’s loving it,” she said. “He’s playing with his friends and learning heaps.” She admitted she had been daunted at first about Alex’s prospects of living independently and getting a job. “But the more Alex has grown, the more I’ve realised it’s not going to be as challenging as I thought.” While children with Down syndrome have delayed development, Jo believed in her son’s potential. “It takes a little bit of extra effort to get to the milestone, but they will get there. “Kids with Down syndrome are just normal kids and other people with children with Down syndrome understand. They just want to be included.” Jo said about 200 people attended the walk last year. She encouraged locals to visit stepupfordownsyndrome.org.au/vic to register for the event, or register on the day.

Festival’s short films long on talent nara and that’s when the festival was born. “The films are going to be one to three minutes and can be from a smartphone right through to a professional movie camera,” Finch said. “It can be anything from a documentary to a non-narrative piece.” The finalists will have their work showcased at the Pivotonian. “We reached out to The Pivotonian. They were on board from the start, and have agreed to screen the winning films,” Finch said. “Twenty of our best films will be showcased on a big screen during Pako Festa in 2018.” The theme for the film festival is ‘Reflections of Culture’. Entry is $10 per film and closes 15 December. Details are available at thepulsefilmfestival.com. au

New security guards bypass city ED Continued page 1 An average of 45 “code grey” incidents occurred each month this year, including 70 in May, up on 28 in 2016, according to Barwon Health data. Code grey incidents are personal threats from patients or visitors who are unarmed, which can include physical or verbal interactions. Barwon Health reported 516 incidents of occupational violence during 2015-16. The health provider lobbied the State Government for funding to bolster security and a “behavioural assessment room” earlier this year.

“A behavioural assessment room for the emergency department is in a planning phase, pending receipt of funds,” Prof Salom said. Greater Geelong recorded a quadrupling of icerelated callouts from 2011-12 to 2014-15, according to Ambulance Victoria statistics. Paramedics treated 88 ice-affected patients in 2014-15 compared to 19 in 2011-12. Ambulance Employees Australia’s Steve McGhie encouraged Barwon Health to apply for additional guards for the safety of their staff, paramedics and the public.

Rifles, shotguns, handguns and swords were among items crushed and melted or registered after they were surrendered during the National Firearm Amnesty, police said. Victoria Police expected to count more than 4000 surrendered firearms after finalising returns. The amnesty concluded at the end of September. The amnesty was Victoria’s “most effective” in a decade, said Victoria Police Licensing and Regulation Division’s Superintendent Paul Millett. “The amnesty has resulted in a tangible benefit to community safety here in Victoria by ensuring firearms and weapons are kept out of reach of people who don’t need them for lawful purposes,” he said. “Victoria Police has a number of dedicated resources in place to tackle the illicit firearm market and to ensure compliance by licence holders on an ongoing basis.” Rare and “historically significant“ firearms and weapons handed during the amnesty would go on display in museums across the country, Supt Millett said.

Entries have opened for Geelong’s first Pulse Film Festival. Local filmmakers, expert and novice, would have the chance to see their films showns at Pivotonian Cinema and at Pako Festa, organisers said. The festival’s four winning films would receive cash prizes of $500. The festival is the brainchild of a group of local creatives involved with Geelong’s community radio station 94.7 The Pulse. Actor and Pulse employee Simon Finch saw an opportunity to showcase local talent. “Mark Salazar and I were making some music videos for the City of Greater Geelong and driving from location to location and we were talking about how we would get a film festival going,” he told the Indy. They then spoke to Pako Festa’s Luisa Lafor-

The second-most weapons handed over in Victoria during a national gun amnesty came from Geelong’s policing region, according to police. Western Region produced 1198 weapons during the National Firearm Amnesty, Victoria Police confirmed this week. Eastern Region, on the other side of the state, returned the most guns, with 1681 handed over to authorities. But the two regions covering urban Melbourne and its outskirts produced the least firearms, the police figures revealed. North West Region, from central Melbourne to Whittlesea, returned 419 weapons. Southern Region, from Prahran to the Mornington Peninsula, produced 356. The figures contrasted gun crime statistics, with Melbourne producing Victoria’s highest rates of criminal shootings. The three-month amnesty aimed to reduce “the risk of firearms and weapons falling into the wrong hands”, Victoria Police said.

Make the downsizing journey your next chapter to a new life Many Australians over 55 are choosing to live out their days in the family home, finding the tangible asset provides them with much needed security and many memories from the past. They feel they can comfortably age in place there, however, the size of the garden, associated costs for utilities, rates and cleaning can all become a burden which may fall onto their children to assist with maintenance and bills. By choice, or due to changes in circumstance, a cash injection may be required and the sale of a major asset, such as the family home, will help to access some equity and increase the cash reserves to make life after 55 a little more comfortable. Downsizing from a large, cumbersome and costly home opens up an array of new opportunities for over 55s to make the most out of life. Whether you are an empty-nester or someone that is now living alone, downsizing can represent a new way to start a new life in a new home. It allows you to save money, energy, and resources, giving you more time to live life to the full now and spend more time with family.

While moving to a smaller, more manageable home generally provides the chance to free up both capital and time, it can also mean taking stock of a lifetime of collected possessions and connections to the family home. Naturally, some people feel daunted by the prospect of downsizing, as with any home move there is a lot to organise and consider. However for most people who make the shift, their only regret is that they didn’t do it sooner. If you approach downsizing as a time to declutter and embark on a fresh new chapter in life, any negative emotions of moving often turn out to be very short lived when joys of a more relaxed, unburdened lifestyle take over. There are a number of reasons people decide to downsize: 1. Live in a smaller house with less maintenance 2. Unlock equity and free up funds

Six “Geelong business leaders” will fly to China in search of “investment opportunities” next week, a state MP has announced. But four of the delegates’ LinkedIn accounts indicate they have no business experience, with their profiles instead listing only public-sector roles. The trip to Geelong sister-city Lianyungang would drive “mutual economic benefits”, said delegate and Labor Member for Geelong Christine Couzens. Ms Couzens, who previously worked as an electorate officer for 18 years, will be on the delegation with career council manager Brett Luxford, lobbyist and former public servant Rebecca Casson and education director Jackie Taylor. Food company founder Ben Dingle and investor Nick Stanley are the two delegates with pri- Nick Stanley vate-sector experience. Ms Couzens said the group would visit Geelong sister city Lianyungang to identify “new opportunities for collaboration“ between the two regions. The four-day trip would seek to “enhance“ the work of Victorian State Government’s Regional Cities Alliance overseas travel last year, she said. “This latest delegation is an appropriate and timely opportunity to continue to build on the positive dialogue of last year’s discussions,” Ms Couzens said. The delegation would explore opportunities in international education, agribusiness, start-ups, technology, transport and tourism. The Jiangsu province is home to China’s second largest economy and more than five million residents. Government and business leaders within the region had expressed a direct interest in furthering talks with Geelong as Victoria’s second largest city, Ms Couzens said.

Barwon Heads gran Roslyn Claringbold conquered 400km of scenic road on her bike last week, raising $11,223 for grandson Gilbert, who has muscular dystrophy. “And I’ve still got some more to come,” she told the Indy on Tuesday. The 67-year-old described the four-day ride as one of her greatest challenges to date. “I was absolutely exhausted - it was like nothing I’ve done in my life,” she said. “I wasn’t the oldest, but I was definitely the most inexperienced cyclist.” But the ride was nothing compared to the challenge grandson Gilbert would face in his everyday life, she said. “By pushing through to achieve this challenge, I have found a toughness that will stand me in good stead as my family and I face our future.” Roslyn battled steep climbs and stiff headwinds on the ride which wound through some of the most scenic parts of western Victoria. “Beautiful scenery often comes with lots of hills,” she said. “Buoyed along by a few riders more experienced than me, I managed to stay on the road and push up the hills.” Often, the encouragement of other riders helped her get to the end of each leg. “There were many hills where I thought I couldn’t make it, but I just had to stay positive and plod away until I reached the top,” she said. “Often after reaching the top all we could see in front of us was another hill!” The cyclists rode through state forests and picturesque towns before gliding into Melbourne on a good tail wind. Roslyn joined 15 riders who raised $60,000 for Muscular Dystrophy Australia, for research into the debilitating disease. “That’s a marvellous result,” she said. “There was a broad group of participants taking on this adventure, all on behalf of a person with MD.”

State funds push for solar savings

ART AND SOUL: Belinda Cini with other members of Art and About ahead of their debut exhibition.

Artist is All Aboard for debut show Joining a community art group for the disabled was an emotional rollercoaster for Belinda Cini. Alongside the various feelings associated with her debut exhibition, Art and About also helped Belinda understand various everyday emotions. Belinda was initially “nervous” about creating her artworks for the “challenging” exhibition, she explained. But this week, eight months later, she was looking forward to the exhibition’s opening next weekend. “I’m excited and nervous,” the 32-year-old said. “I hope people like our work.” Belinda and five other members of Art and About will feature in Emotions Unmasked at Anglesea’s Surf Coast Art Space from 20 to 30 October. The members’ work for the exhibition covers a variety of disciplines from self-portraits to col-

lages, paper mache and mosaics. The artists are part of All Aboard, a Surf Coast group offering the disabled opportunities to develop new skills and connect with their community. All Aboard conducts various activities on the Surf Coast, including weekend social outings. A small group of parents with a “shared a vision” of providing local disabled people with community-based activities founded All Aboard, a spokesperson said. The group had been successful garnering the support of council and the community. “Surf Coast Shire council contributed funds to assist with the group’s promotion and marketing, and to purchase material to establish programs. Community members have donated art supplies and volunteered their time and expertise to teach the Art and About participants,” the spokesperson said.

A $403,000 “community solar investment” will save an aged care facility $29,000 on electricity annually, according to the office of Geelong MP Christine Couzens. State Government contributed $140,000 to the Geelong Sustainability Group project at Multicultural Aged Care Services (MACS), her office confirmed. Geelong Sustainability “hit new heights” with the State funding, co-ordinator Dan Cowdell said. The group now planned similar projects at other Geelong businesses and not-for-profit organisations, he said. Under the group’s Community Owned Renewable Energy (CORE) model participants leased solar systems from “community investors”, Mr Cowdell explained. Participants saved on electricity during the lease term then owned the system outright after the final payment, he said. “This project really is win-win-win. Community investors get a return on investment, local organisations get solar for zero upfront costs, and of course the environment wins with more clean energy generated in Geelong.” The aged care project would remove 210 to tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, “equivalent to taking 60 cars off the road per year or planting 1474 trees each year”, Mr Cowdell said. Ms Couzens said Victoria’s “first replicable community solar investment model” tapped the state’s $20 million New Energy Jobs Fund. “We are fighting climate change through meaningful community engagement, protecting our environment for future generations,” Ms Couzens said. “This is a fantastic opportunity for our region. This project will contribute towards delivering

POWER TO THE PEOPLE: Christine Couzens and Dan Cowdell, centre, launch the solar project with representatives of MACS and Geelong Sustainability Group members. the renewable energy target of 40 per cent by 2025, increasing the uptake of renewable energy generation and reducing the state’s greenhouse gas emissions.” Lara MP John Eren said the project demonstrated the state government’s commitment to “providing real energy solutions for the future of Victoria”. “Through the New Energy Jobs Fund we are securing Victoria’s future as a competitive, innovative and outward-looking economy,” Mr Eren said. “Renewables are the future of our energy mix and through initiatives like this we are improving Victoria’s renewable energy capabilities.”

$20,000 First Home Owner Grant and no stamp duty on all properties valued up to $600,000 for first home buyers. The Victorian Government has doubled the First Home Owner Grant to $20,000 for newly constructed homes in regional Victoria, and abolished stamp duty on all properties valued up to $600,000 for first home buyers. This means more doors are now open for first home buyers, generating more jobs and growth for regional Victoria. To find out more, visit www.vic.gov.au/openingdoors

Fast rail wrangle By Luke Voogt

Geelong has until Friday to bring a Melbournebound fast train one step closer to reality, according to local Federal MP Sarah Henderson. Ms Henderson urged the State Government and the private sector to apply for Commonwealth money to fund a business case for a Geelong fast rail. “A fast train between Melbourne and Geelong is critical for our region’s future growth,” the Member for Corangamite said. The Turnbull Government recently announced $20 million to fund the development of business cases for fast rail connections between cities and regional areas. Applicants had until 5pm Friday to submit proposals to the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development. The Victorian Government was considering an application for a Geelong to Melbourne fast rail, a government source said on Wednesday. The Federal Government would select the best proposals from three regional cities around Australia, Ms Henderson said. “Geelong needs to be one of them.” Ms Henderson resumed her political feud with the State Government by claiming the recent $110m for the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds duplication as the Commonwealth’s win. “Over a number of years, I have fought very hard for better passenger rail,” she said. “Labor’s Regional Rail Link, which services western Melbourne, has become a white elephant. It is already at capacity, and on many services is a case of standing room only.” But Victorian Transport Minister Jacinta Allan claimed the funding was the State Government’s due. “We’re proud to have won the fight with the Turnbull Government to get the vital regional rail funding Victoria was owed, and we’re getting on with delivering those improvements,” she said. “In less than three years we’ve added nearly

TRAIN GAMES: Victorian Transport Minister Jacinta Allan and Corangamite MP Sarah Henderson have clashed again over the Geelong line. 300 new services for Geelong and ordered 87 new carriages to ... carry more passengers across Victoria.” Ms Henderson’s calls were empty “rhetoric”, according Corio MP Richard Marles’ office, which accused the Turnbull Government of derailing Victoria’s infrastructure. The Federal Government denied Victorians $3 billion in infrastructure over the next four years, a spokesperson said as Mr Marles visited the US as shadow defence minister this week. “Victorians pay their taxes, yet this government sees fit to only provide 12 per cent of its budget to Victoria,” the spokesperson said. “A state which is home to a quarter of Australia’s population.“ Last year lobby group Rail Futures proposed a plan for 200km/h trains and 35 minute services from Geelong to Melbourne. Meanwhile, punctuality on the Geelong line improved in September, with 87.2 per cent of services arriving at their destination on time - up 1.2 per cent from August. A new timetable introduced 69 extra services to the Geelong line on 27 August.

We lead world in war on swine flu

MEMORIES: Jean Rickey, seated on the right, joins fellow ballroom enthusiasts remembering their childhood dances at Leopold.

Dance down the decades By Luke Voogt Nearly 90 years since Jean Rickey first started dancing, she still visits her beloved Leopold Community Hall for ballroom meets. Her parents began taking her to the dances in a bassinet in the early 1920s and would place her behind the piano for the evening. She began dancing herself at age seven. “We learnt to dance quite young,” the Moolap retiree said. “It’s different to you younger ones today.” She and her two siblings would sit and watch

her parents dance, before the family returned to their home in Wallington. “We were allowed to go onto the floor until the time they had the waltz competition,” she said. “We used to have 800 people in that hall on New Year’s Eve. The committee there at the moment desn’t understand how we did it.” Jean, who just turned 95, joined several nonagenarians at the scene of their childhood dances during a seniors’ ballroom event at the hall on Sunday. She stopped dancing 15 years ago, due to her late husband’s health, but still loved to be involved.

“I just go and listen to the lovely music now,” she said. “I want to dance, but my body just won’t let me do it. But I think I’m lucky just to do what I can do.” About 70 people attended the dance, with Queenscliff ’s Jack Beazley, 88, and Leopold’s Scotty Frazer, 92, the eldest to take to the floor. Several attendees used to go to the hall to dance when they were young, according to organiser Kevin Smith. “After all these years, Old Time Ballroom Dancing is still being held on a weekly basis at the hall,” he said.

Geelong scientists are at the forefront of a breakthrough that could halt the march of a devastating animal disease and preventing global losses totaling billions of dollars. Researchers at Moolap’s CSIRO Australian Animal Health Laboratory (AAHL) worked with two teams in the US to discover genetic data that could lead to a vaccine for African swine fever. The disease has spread from Africa to devastate pig farms across Europe as it moves closer to China. Russia lost an estimated $1 billion to the fever between 2007 and 2012, while Latvia culled 10,000 pigs after an outbreak earlier this year. Humans were immune to the virus but at risk of its “severe socioeconomic effects on rural farmers”, AAHL warned. But the new breakthrough promised a potential saviour for so-far unaffected countries including Australia, AAHL said. The study “for the first time” compared geneticlevel immune system responses in pigs infected with low or high-virulence strains of the virus causing the swine fever. The results helped identify a set of common genetic responses that could be the “basis” for the fever’s first diagnostic tests and vaccine, AAFL said. “Our findings have extended our understanding of the virus-host relationship, an important element in developing new intervention strategies including new vaccine research to identify genes that stimulate protective immunity,” AAHL’s Dr David Williams said. “Our genetic investigations shed light on how immune system genes of pigs respond to ASF virus infection and also how they influence virus replication in the host. “We will continue working with the genetic information we have identified to further our understanding of the host’s response to ASF infection and what effect this has on virus replication. The availability of a vaccine and better diagnostic capability will go a long way toward halting the spread of ASF and managing future outbreaks.”

Opposition flip: it’s a gas, gas, gas The Victorian Opposition has reversed its energy policy after local MP Simon Ramsay broke ranks to call for onshore gas exploration in the state. The Opposition had supported the government’s moratorium on onshore gas remaining until 2020, before it dropped the position on Monday. “I have been calling for conventional onshore gas exploration for some time,” Mr Ramsay said. The Western Victoria Region MP said the new policy would protect prices so homes and businesses could “stay warm, cook their meals, or operate.” The Coalition vowed to keep a ban on hydraulic fracking and coal seam gas exploration.

“As a landowner and farmer, I remain completely unconvinced about the safety of fracking,” Mr Ramsay said. Under the Coalition’s plan landowners would receive a 10 per cent royalty for gas from their land and had the right to refuse drilling, Mr Ramsay said. The policy would require the Victorian Resources Minister to approve exports, he said. Mr Ramsay found an unlikely ally in Federal Labor leader Bill Shorten, who called on the Victorian Government to explore onshore gas during his latest visit to Geelong. But Acting Resources Minister Jacinta Allen warned the Opposition would “take Victoria on a slippery slope“ back to fracking.

“They’ve so many different positions on this issue they just truly cannot be believed,” she said. Ms Allan said the Victorian Government’s $40 million “science and evidence based” gas program would find any viable reserves. The Opposition’s backflip was to save “Malcom Turnbull’s political skin”, whose failure to introduce export controls had led to price rises, she said. Friends of the Earth’s Chloe Aldenhoven described the Coalition’s new policy as “attempting to bribe landholders for drilling”. Victorian reserves would require fracking during their life span to produce commercial quantities of gas, she said. Ms Aldenhoven said the export of Australian

gas overseas was driving prices up, not the Victorian moratorium. “We already produce plenty of gas from Bass Strait. “We call on the Coalition to tackle the real problem - national energy policy - rather than reopen the onshore gas debate in Victoria.” Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Mark Stone backed the Opposition’s new policy. The government’s moratorium disadvantaged manufacturers, who consumed about 30 per cent of gas in the state, he said. “When businesses face such steep increases in energy prices, it does not just impact them but all Victorians.”

He’s from Animal Justice Party Having no great interest in the upcoming council election, I nevertheless decided to have a look at the local candidates. My only reservation on having looked at the list was the fact that some five candidates had the same contact person, one Gary M Hall. The concern that immediately sprang to mind was dummy candidates and the vote being stacked. I have no knowledge of Gary M Hall but I cannot see myself voting for any candidate who does not put their own email address as their main contact number, even though the candidate’s own email might be found if one digs a bit deeper. This election needs people voted in who are of good heart and with the best interest of Geelong people in mind, not, possibly preference-stealing plants, which I certainly hope is not the case.

Rants provoke rant I congratulate the Indy for publishing letters from the most prolific letter-writers to papers in the region: Peter Linaker, of Ocean Grove; Michael J Gamble, Belmont; and Alan Barron, Grovedale. The Indy scored a trifecta on this issue last week. The trio’s rants and rambles on society are over the top and have been for decades. Who wants to read them? I did and have had enough! If that’s all the letters the Indy gets then give us a break, don’t print them! Seriously, they are habitual letter writers not only to the local papers but to papers all over the state. Good work, though. I enjoy reading the Indy and look forward to it each week - but not their letters. Michael Porter Torquay

Pro-Creation guide I give due respect to Kevin V Russell (Letters, 6 October) for his honestly expressed opinions, his rejecting of any religious guide and finding freedom in a life of uncertainty. He is to be commended for finding joy in the beauty of creation. The amazing wonder of the irreducible complexity of each living thing should compel all our admiration, along with how all life is interdependent and how that if one part of the intricate structure of every cell is absent no life can con-

tinue. These amazing facts of creation should give us all the joy of discovery. The majority of people still believe that this is because of an intelligent creator. Some believe He wants to communicate with His creation and that He has done so through the Bible. I would dispute the history claimed by Mr Russell. Many books prove the authenticity of the most-researched book ever written. I hope the purpose of the Bible, and its preservation despite all attacks, will be recognised. To many of us it has proven to be the Creator’s guide to a satisfying life experience, giving us all joy in His blessings including the benefits of a God-blessed marriage as was initiated in the Garden of Eden, enabling the most suitable nurturing for our natural offspring.

Greens fiddle, Victoria burns out Jukka Tuisku (Letters, 6 October) agreed with me that carbon dioxide (CO2) was essential to all life but thought we had too much of it in the atmosphere.

described as “climate change” even though the climate and the CO2 level were changing for billions of years before humans were here to blame. Despite the climate’s constant change, Mr Tuisku called it “a finely balanced system” whose dial “we are now fiddling with”. How clever of us - I expect human fiddling will be blamed for the next ice age. To solve this non-problem, governments spend billions of dollars subsidising renewables that work intermittently and unreliably. As a result, essential baseload generators, powered by coal and gas, become unprofitable to run parttime just to keep renewables operating. South Australia leads the green world for renewables-generated electricity and the lights go out. Now Victoria shuts down its coal generators and bans gas exploration. Green fantasists would return us to pre-industrial living and Victoria’s plunge into ideology without counting the cost will see us there. Tim Saclier Leopold

Propaganda blown away I read Jukka Tuisku criticising Tim Saclier with ill-informed alarmist propaganda again in last week’s Indy. Although I’m certain Mr Tuisku believes what he says, he really needs to go outside the Al Gore box and learn a few facts.

Email: editorial@geelongindependent.com.au 78 Moorabool St, Geelong, 3220 Fax: 5249 6799 Mr Tuisku wrote about “an old coal-fired power station” being shut down. Hazelwood shut only because the Victorian Government tripled royalties for brown coal extraction at the same time as governments were paying generous taxpayerfunded subsidies for renewables. Anyone trying to run any business in such circumstances would go broke! As for Texas hurricane flooding, the recent hurricanes followed an extraordinary 12-year hurricane drought. If Mr Tuisku doesn’t believe me he can go to the Hurricane Research Division of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to see the facts. Mr Saclier tends to check his facts whereas Mr Tuisku, I regret, seems to rely on received propaganda. Michael Spencer Burwood

Go nuclear on unethical funds Last month I received an email from an investment advisory organisation extolling investment in the Australian Government’s Future Fund. I have replied with the following information, which other people who look forward to a peaceful world for their families may find of interest. The so-called Future Fund invests in companies that make nuclear weapons, which is more than disturbing. It is a crime against humanity and against our future. Investment in the Future Fund would be better delayed until the administration of the Future Fund has ceased its promotion of making money out of nuclear weapons. Under President Obama the USA started upgrading its nuclear weapons to be will be smaller and more likely to be used. The other nucleararmed countries then followed suit. About 44 wars are in progress. Australian and US involvement in production and sale of weapons, as well as investment in nuclear weapons, is making it more and more likely there will be a global catastrophe involving all countries. There is more in life than money. Now is the time for ethical investment. Australians would benefit considerably in employment and national wealth if Federal Government invested in clean-energy production for domestic use and for exports. Investment in renewables is now a source of wealth for many countries, so why not Australia? Gillian Blair Panmure

FIRE ACTION WEEK

13 - 20 October 2017

Message from the Premier [Next/This*] week is t/This*] *] week weekisis Fire Action Week, a time for all Victorians to begin preparing for the summer ahead. It’s particularly important this year, with the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting a long and hot summer. Thankfully, our dedicated emergency services are working together with communities, businesses, local councils and residents to reduce the risk for our state.

Stay informed

So please, talk to your family, friends and neighbours about your plans, and make sure you know when to leave and where to go to stay safe. You can also ind out more information, monitor warnings and check the daily Fire Danger Ratings at emergency.vic.gov.au. Planning and preparing for ire is everyone’s responsibility. Taking the right steps now could make all the difference.

At the same time, it’s important that each of us understands our own ire risks. And remember, you don’t need to live in regional Victoria to be in danger. Fires can occur anywhere.

The Hon Daniel Andrews MP Premier of Victoria

FIRE ACTION WEEK THE RIGHT TIME TO PREPARE It’s your responsibility to be ready this summer. Prepare your property, fire plan and emergency kit now. The reasons are black and white.

1. Plan what you’ll do in the event of a fire, talk to your household and know where to access information on high risk days. 2. Keep grass short. Fire can ignite and travel quickly through long grass. 3. Get rid of dry grass, leaves, twigs and loose bark around your home. 4. Remove or prune shrubs near windows and under branches of mature trees. 5. Cut back overhanging tree branches close to property – no branches within 10 metres. 6. Keep gutters and roof areas clear of leaf litter (if you are physically able to). 7. Remove all materials from around the home that could burn, such as boxes, furniture and woodpiles.

FINALLY FRIDAY

Dragon set to rock at the Gateway By Luke Voogt Iconic rockers Dragon will return to Geelong this month 40 years since April Sun in Cuba debuted on the Australian airwaves. Original bassist Todd Hunter still remembered recording the track after the late Paul Hewson wrote it on the back porch of their share house. “The band had had a bad car accident that was a very close call for Robert Taylor and Paul Hewson,” Hunter said. “I distinctly remember looking around the studio and thinking we were a bunch of bedraggled, bandaged and neck-braced casualties recording this bright and shiny pop song. “I think that more or less sums up the ’70s for us.” It was a turbulent decade for the ARIA hall of famers, with number one hits and heroin overdoses. “Eventually, we grew out of it I think,” Hunter said. Hunter and now-deceased brother Marc moved from New Zealand to Sydney in 1972 as relative unknowns. “It was very hard because no one knew our songs,” he said. “It struck us how huge the place was.” But when Hewson started writing those “bloody shiny pop songs everything started happening”. The band has hit the road to celebrate the iconic song which Hunter said would live on long after he was gone. “In 40 years that song’s been incredibly good to us. As everyone knows, life begins at 40, so who knows what is in store for April Sun in Cuba.” The band churned through members during following decades, but still produced chart-toppers like the 1983 classic Rain. “The ‘80s had a very big revolving door policy,” Hunter said.

APRIL SUN IN GEELONG: Dragon returns this month with original bassist Todd Hunter, second from right. The band reformed with the current line-up in 2006, playing more than 1000 shows since. “Our goal is to be a playing band,” Hunter said. “We’re happy to just play everywhere.” Dragon will play all their hits at the Gateway Hotel on 27 October. “Our contract with the public on stage is that if they turn up we’ll play everything that they know,” Hunter said. “We used to go to Geelong a lot and we’d like to

get that happening again. If anyone wants to come down and sing their heart out, they’re welcome.” At age 66 Hunter was not slowing down. “Weirdly, it’s the other way around,” he said. “Playing live is the best - there’s some sort of thing that comes from the crowd that’s really invigorating.” The band had welcomed a new generation of fans at its last decade of gigs.

“The old fans are at home watching TV,” Hunter said. “When it’s really going off, everyone in the room is in the band. You’ve got to hit the chorus get people levitating.” Whether at a festival for 30,000 people or an intimate pub show, the band planned to keep going, Hunter said. “We don’t care where we play, as long as we keep playing.”

Newtown teen Maelee Baron has danced to the top of Australian ballet, but her latest Geelong performance will be the first in her favourite role. The excited 13-year-old will grace the stage as lead character Clara, from the Nutcracker, alongside fellow local ballerinas next week. “Everyone’s really excited because we’ve been working really hard for the past few months on the dances,” she said. Maelee started ballet at age three in Hong Kong, where she and her parents lived for her first nine years. “I had a couple friends dancing there, so that’s why I wanted to join up,” she said. Maelee entered the Australian Dance Competition earlier this year, where she placed several times and won in classical ballet for her age group. She scored a 90-plus distinction in her most recent ballet exam and won a scholarship with Royal Academy of Dance. “This year’s been a really good year for me,” she said. Last year Maelee played the role of Cinderella (as a child) in a Victorian State Ballet production. “It was a little bit nerve-wracking to start off, but it was really fun and a great experience,” she said. Maelee studies at the Geelong Ballet Centre, which will present its yearly showcase at Geelong Performing Arts Centre from 20 to 21 October. The centre’s new jazz and contemporary teachers had helped Maelee and fellow young dancers build their repertoires, she said. “I’m really excited to show my mum and dad what I’ve been doing with those teachers. “I love being on stage - I just love it. I’ve got lots of really close friends that I’ve made from ballet.” Maelee’s teacher Stephanie Ruggeri praised her efforts.

Customers who have travelled on the “Moving Restaurant” have been raving about the experience. The new product began operation last weekend and has already created 50 per cent repeat business. “Customers leave the train at the end of the night having already booked to bring a new group of friends next month,” Emma Atkinson, marketing co-ordinator, said. “Just wanted to say a huge thankyou re the Q Train - what a brilliant night! One of the best venues I’ve been to for a long, long time. My friends absolutely loved it and I met most of the crew. If you haven’t been - you HAVE to try it! Thank you again, a fantastic night out!” Rob Mclennan - Bay FM Head Chef Greg Egan, winner of best chef and golden plate awards said: “The feedback already has been positive. People love the idea of going out for a quality meal while enjoying some scenic travel at the same time.” He has relished the opportunity to create a menu that not only showcases local produce, but can be cooked in the restricted environment that a kitchen on board a train presents. Where did the idea begin? A couple of years ago, two men who’d worked with trains for the better part of 50 years purchased several historic carriages from Queensland Rail. They sought the expertise of a hospitality pundit, and then our team was born. We’ve spent the last year or so refurbishing the old carriages, and have transformed a part of the old “Sunlander” into a new boutique rail restaurant called “The Q Train”. How’s that for recycling!

ADVERTISING IN THE INDY REALLY WORKS

FINALLY FRIDAY HANDS UP: The Mik Maks, who feature at Geelong Children’s Week, entertaining their young followers.

Week for all kids Children’s Week returns to Geelong with farm animals, planting sessions, kids acts and more this month. Greater Geelong’s week for youngsters, from 20 to 29 October, includes something for every child, according to organisers. Magic shows, sports days, gardening demostrations and concerts will spring up around the city, with the highlight being Geelong’s Big Play Day on 24 October. The day brings hula hoops, an animal farm, African drumming, story-telling and arts to the Geelong Botanical Gardens from 10am to 1pm. The Mik Maks, Mister Ants, Krazy Koala and Dazzling Dan will make their way to the gardens to keep kids dancing and cheering. The City has run Children’s Week for 13 years to celebrate childhood and encourage local families to spend more time together. The event had become more popular each year, organisers said. Bluebird Foundation will join the celebrations,

presenting a special concert of music especially for children on 22 October. Musician Peter Huf will delight with classical and modern melodies on guitar, banjo, violin and more, the foundation’s Bron Lawson said. “A relaxed atmosphere will mean that little ones can play and explore while they listen to the music. “They will also be able to touch and explore the instruments with Peter.” The fun hits the Bellarine too that day with the peninsula’s biggest Free Family Fun Day returning to the Potato Shed from 11am to 3pm. With more than 8000 people attending in 2016, the event had become one best children’s events in the region, the City’s art manager Kaz Paton said. “It’s a great way for the community to come together and enjoy a free and fabulous entertaining day.” All events are free or low cost, organisers said.

Catherine Glover. 173805 Should further assistance with tinnitus management be required, Catherine offers intensive appointments where she focuses on helping clients to understand the myriad of factors which can make tinnitus intrusive and often overwhelming. Catherine commenced audiology in 1990 but in the last 15 years she has focused on tinnitus and other disorders in the perception of sound such as hyperacusis (an over sensitivity to sound), and misophonia (a physical aversion to certain sounds). “These are less well-known areas in audiology, sometimes not even well understood by some in the medical field. “So, they are certainly very challenging, but always fascinating and rewarding,” Catherine says. Bellarine Hearing has been providing independent hearing services since 1992 and has a team of qualified and experienced audiologists. Phone 5229 6407.

12367740-CG41-17

Morning tea is provided. For catering purposes please RSVP at least 24 hours prior to event.

When thinking of their hearing health people tend to think of how well they can hear but increasingly staff at Bellarine Hearing find people want to learn about another hearing related concern - ringing in the ears, called tinnitus. Catherine Glover, an experienced audiologist and tinnitus specialist at Bellarine Hearing, says that tinnitus itself is a commonly reported occurrence. Studies reporting the prevalence of tinnitus suggest that it falls in the range of 14-30 per cent of the adult population. “Many people describe an awareness of a cicada or hissing sound when it is very quiet,” Catherine says. “Most people are aware of some sound in their head as it is how the neural activity in the auditory pathways manifests, similar to when we close our eyes in complete darkness we can observe changes in light patterns. “However, tinnitus becomes a problem when it is elevated beyond something a person can easily ignore and becomes intrusive. “While we think of tinnitus as an ear issue, bothersome tinnitus can be caused by a number of medical factors. “So, for anyone concerned by their tinnitus, we would always recommend a complete hearing assessment. Where a hearing loss exists, hearing aids often provide the best solution for tinnitus.” Catherine is reluctant to use the word ‘cure’ because tinnitus is a very complex medical phenomenon and a simple cure does not exist. Alternatively she recommends seeking good medical advice from a GP, audiologist or ear, nose and throat specialist. All of the audiologists at Bellarine Hearing are qualified to perform full diagnostic assessments of hearing.

Villa Maria Catholic Homes’ customer care manager Pip Walker is absolutely thrilled with the 96-bed “state-of-the-art” residence, open since Monday. “It’s great to be able to offer such a beautiful place for residents,“ she says. “It’s just down the road from Torquay’s pristine beaches, boutiques and shopping centres. Whether you’re walking, on a scooter or in a car it’s really easy to get around the local area.“ With 10 years’ working at the adjacent retirement village, Pip understands the changing needs of seniors. “At Star of the Sea, we tailor care and attention to the individual’s needs and desires” “But even for those not as active, we’ll have our volunteers and fabulous staff helping them stay engaged in the community.” All rooms come complete with a television, comfortable arm chair, private ensuite and access to Foxtel. “The residence has elegantly decorated lounge areas throughout, and all rooms are generously sized with a calming colour palate,” Pip says. “There is even room to bring your favourite piece of furniture and hang paintings on the wall to create a homely environment.“ Star of the Sea will hold an open day on 21 October from 10am to 1pm with live entertainment, food and fun for the kids. “This will be a great opportunity for people to see what a beautiful place this really is,” Pip says.

Project helps students to bring histories into focus Homestyle Belmont Grange Aged Care is undertaking a Life Histories Project that will utilise the community visits of the students from St Joseph’s College to assist the Lifestyle team commence the project with residents. This project will support the intentions of Lifestyle to increase more opportunities for intergenerational connections between members of the greater community and Homestyle’ residents. The project aims to provide an opportunity for residents to share their experiences and knowledge with younger generations, highlighting the similarities and differences between the generations. The questions are targeted at the individual’s cultural environments and how their experiences helped to influence their growth and understanding of the ever-changing world. This project is an expansion on the Intergenerational Playgroup Belmont Grange launched in 2016 and has continued to host at the facility located in Church Street, Grovedale. The Intergenerational Playgroup between Belmont Grange and the Torquay Road Early Learning and Kinda has successfully formed a sustainable community partnership towards promoting ongoing communication and engagement between the generations.

Talking about funerals. Sue Marshman and Alyson Burchell from Tuckers.

Funeral directors outline options People plan for different milestones in their lives weddings, careers and even retirement. Planning for the final goodbye makes just as much sense. However, it can be hard to know where to start, there are so many funeral products available today and each product has its own benefits. Funeral directors are an excellent resource to find out exactly what services are available and what will best suit personal needs. Sue and Alyson from Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Service are helping people better understand funeral plans as well as the difference between funeral insurance and planning ahead. “Talking about funerals helps to make informed choices. Every day we see how important these conversations are for families,” says Alyson. Tuckers has been serving the community for more than 134 years. “We understand every funeral plan is unique to each person’s personality and we offer a range of services tailored to suit individual needs,” she said. A free information session is being held, covering a wide range of topics relating to funeral services and legal matters, on Monday 23 October at Tuckers Chapel in Grovedale.

Tooth replacement options a good fit Those who have missing teeth may be all too aware of their importance to looks and dental health. Teeth are designed to work together to help chew, speak and smile. When teeth are missing it is difficult to do these things. Even the loss of back tooth may cause the mouth to shift and the face to look older. Fortunately, missing teeth can be replaced. The following are three options a dentist may suggest, depending on needs. Replacement teeth should last for years at a time, so it is important to choose the correct treatment. 1. Implants: Many patients choose implants to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or to support a full set of dentures. Implants are posts that are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, where they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. They are made of titanium and other materials

that are accepted by the human body. 2. Fixed Bridges: Another tooth replacement option is a fixed bridge. This is a restoration that fills the space where one or more teeth have been lost. A fixed bridge is bonded or cemented into place. 3. Removable Partial Denture: As a name describes, a removable partial denture can easily be taken out of the mouth for cleaning. Partial dentures usually have replacement teeth fixed to a plastic base that matches the colour of gums. The plastic base may cover a metal framework. Partial dentures often have some form of clasp that attaches to natural teeth. Book a free dental implant consultation with Dr Rashi Gupta at Norlane Dental Surgery on 1800 246 247.

SPORT Cats hungry for early win LOCAL CRICKET Jim Timberlake Geelong Cricket Club got off to a promising start in their round one fixture against Northcote last weekend, although their performance wasn’t quite good enough to bring home the points. Bowling first, the Cats put in a disciplined effort to restrict the visitors to 178, Dom McGlinchey starring with 5/22 from his 9.4 overs, while wily spinner Luke Muller opened the bowling and bagged 2/25 for his troubles. Geelong got off to a bright start in their pursuit, reaching 44 without loss, before Josh McDonald departed for 28. Skipper Eamonn Vines stood firm for a gritty 32, but as wickets started to fall, so too did the team’s confidence. Angus Boyd righted the ship with a timely 39, but once he was run out, the task was too great as the side was all out for 160. Tomorrow sees a new challenge with Frankston making the long trip around the bay, and with both sides having lost in round one, expect a hungry battle for the points in this one. In the Geelong Cricket Association, round one got off to a blistering start with some exceptional cricket play right across the region.

In division one, Geelong City got off to the perfect start, defeating perennial finalists St Joseph’s, thanks largely to a commanding century by star batsman Richie Oliver. The gun opener made 120 at the top of the order, but also received valuable support from Stephen Anastasiu (35), Cody Irvine (30) and Jacob Nolan (42*) in the Sharks’ mammoth total of 7/283. St Joseph’s, fielding six debutantes to their first XI following a raft of off-season changes, clearly need a bit of time to find their feet again, with their new look batting order struggling to find any consistency early. Despite a polished 64 to Leigh Kentish, the Joeys could only manage 196 in reply. In tomorrow’s round of one day games, Geelong City will look to consolidate with a home game against Leopold. Meanwhile St Joseph’s will need to regroup quickly if they want to gain some crucial early season point, although East Belmont will prove to be a tough challenge after the Lions enjoyed a narrow win over reigning premier Grovedale in round one. GROVEDALE v Murgheboluc, Lara v SOUTH BARWON, GEELONG CITY v Leopold, St Joseph’s v EAST BELMONT, NORTH GEELONG v Newtown and Chilwell. In Division 2, it’s already apparent that an

eight team division is going to make for some great contests this season. With every game critical to the make up the final four come season’s end, all teams will need to be at their best every single week. Two of the better sides in the division in Manifold Heights and Newcomb and District both suffered defeats in round one, meaning their game against each other tomorrow at Hirst Reserve is vitally important. Sharks captain-coach Chris Bambury has been pleased with the hunger and pre-season form of his troops, but he will need them to be at their best if they are to trouble the reigning premier. BELL POST HILL v St Peter’s, Marshall v HIGHTON, Manifold Heights v NEWCOMB and DISTRICT, BELL PARK v Torquay. Thomson looks the side to beat early in the Division 3 season, and if they can defeat round-one winners Modewarre tomorrow, they will cement their tag as favourites to take home the cup. Skipper Adam Bliss led the way with 3/25, while evergreen opener Grant Dew racked up an impressive 80 not out, in their side’s eight-wicket win over Geelong West. CORIO v Alexander Thomson, Modewarre v THOMSON, GEELONG WEST v St Albans Breakwater, Guild Saints v WAURN PONDSDeakin.

GIVE IT AWAY NOW: Geelong reinfery general manager Thys Heyns is on the ball for Monday night\’s Club Legend awards.

20 legendary finalists eye big prize for volunteering Geelong’s most dedicated sports volunteer will earn $5000 for themselves and their club at the inaugural Club Legend Award next Monday. Viva Energy will reveal the winner in front of more than 100 people from Geelong’s business and sporting communities. “We are privileged to be able to share their story with the community, and provide them with the recognition they deserve,” Geelong Refinery general manager Thys Heyns said. “We set out to reward and recognise exceptional role models at sporting clubs, and we believe we have done that.”

Mr Heyns joined sporting, business and Geelong council representatives on a 10-person panel to pick the winner from 20 finalists last Friday. The 20 selfless volunteers had already earned $1000 each for themselves and their clubs by making the shortlist. The competition received 147 entries, almost triple the amount organisers expected, representing sports from Gaelic football to special Olympics. “The response to the program has been extremely positive and very pleasing,” Mr Heyns said.

The competition received nearly 4000 votes from the public for the People’s Choice Award. The winner of the public vote will receive $2000 for themselves and their club, as will the award’s runner-up. Radio commentator Tom King will be MC at the Club Legend Award at Simonds Stadium on Monday night. “We are very excited to celebrate all the finalists on Monday evening and award this year’s overall winner,” Mr Heyns said.

Bay teeming with snapper ON THE BITE Chris Pitman Large numbers of pinkie snapper were taken from the shelter of Corio Bay over the past week. Fishing soft plastics allowed to sink to the bottom beside structure in deep water produced fish to 50cm. Anglers drifting the spoil grounds near Limeburner’s Point with plastics also boated pinkies along with flathead around 45cm. Bumping along the bottom was key to success. Alcoa Pier fired up for Australian salmon, with slow-trolled lures working well. Clifton Springs sprang into action with snapper moving up and down the Point Richards channel. They seemed to switch on around an hour either side of the tide change, especially for anglers fishing lightly weighted pilchards. Fish to 6kg were reported but patience was required, with the water temperature yet to reach the optimal level. Allan Brow and Greg McKinnon had an excellent session on Monday, boating a snapper each of 5.2kg and 6.1kg respectively. Portarlington’s new harbour continued providing land-based anglers with excellent opportunities. Peri Stavropoulos and I fished in the harbour on Friday night with gulp turtleback worms for a catch of pinkies to 50cm along with the odd silver trevally. St Leonards continued fishing well for King George whiting, with the Bourke Street area though to the sub near Swan Bay producing fish to 40cm on pippies and squid. Tidal flow helped fire up the action. St Leonards Pier kept anglers entertained with squid on size 3 artificial jigs cast around the lights at night. Swan Bay’s channel produced the odd gummy on the run-in tide at night. Fresh squid was the preferred bait. Queenscliff gave up some monster squid. Anglers fishing deep in the bight pulled specimens of almost 2kg. Whiting dominated evening captures from the grass beds east of Queenscliff Harbour. The average size was slightly bigger although the fish were more finicky than at St Leonards, but willing to take pippies on running sinker rigs with enough lead to hold bottom. The Barwon River estuary was a hot spot for mixed bags of salmon, trevally, mullet and whiting. Freshwater anglers did well at Deep Lake along with lakes Bolac and Toolirook. Quality brown and rainbow trout over 2kg were taken on a variety of tactics. Bait anglers favoured Powerbait for rainbows, while Daiwa Double Clutch 65s were ideal for casting around the lake margins for both species. Trollers favoured Tassie Devils in white or pink at 3km/h. Stony Creek Reservoir continued fishing well on lure or fly for smaller brown trout to just on 1kg. The odd redfin was also a welcome by catch. The next week should present opportunities for snapper along the channel from Clifton Springs to Portarlington, while Queenscliff could be worth a shot for big squid and whiting.
