Decades-old community enterprise Geelong Wholefoods has closed after losing more than $100,000 since moving to Mercer Street last year. Hundreds of former customers have expressed their disappointment on the store’s Facebook page. “Where will I go now for great food, pantry and vitamins?” Lyndall Wishart asked. “So sorry to see you have closed, but wish you well.” “This is tragic for Geelong,” Caz Salkeld commented.

‘Joy’ in the arts of disabled By Luke Voogt Christian Den Besten lost count of his paintings after a few hundred, but is not giving up anytime soon. "I paint because I like it," the 46-year-old from central Geelong told the Indy. "It's fun and it makes me feel better." For more than 25 years Christian has captured some of Geelong's most iconic buildings and landscapes in paint, pastel and sculpture. His latest piece features alongside 80 works by local artists with disabilities and mental illnesses in artX, at Gordon Gallery from 9 to 16 May. Christian based the painting, Fern Gully Rest House, on photo he took at the Royal Botanical Gardens. He was en route to the Shrine of Remembrance to learn about Vietnam veterans, like his father, local arts coordinator Sharon Bromley explained.

Sharon runs Art Gusto, a "supported studio" where Christian and other artists with disabilities hone their skills. "I've worked with him for nearly eight years," she said. Having intellectual disabilities never stopped Christian from becoming a "prolific" artist, she said. "He's got a huge body of work - he just doesn't stop." Christian's work had appeared in collections around Australia, including at Camberra's National Gallery of Australia and Syndey's Australian maritime museum, Sharon said. "He's had no formal training. He's what you would call a real outsider artist. "It's his form of connecting with his community," Sharon said. "It's really important he gets to be as independent as possible."

A man threatened Geelong bank staff with a knife and demanded cash before fleeing empty-handed in an attempted armed robbery yesterday, police have alleged. Staff told police a man entered the Bendigo Bank branck with his face covered about 2.20pm before brandishing a knife and demanding cash. But the unknown man fled the bank on foot when its alarm sounded, police said. Police cordoned off the bank and parked several marked and unmarked cars nearby as plain-clothes detectives investigated the scene. Police were hunting for the man in central Geelong and interviewing bank staff as the Indy went to press on Thursday afternoon. Armed Crime Squad detectives from Melbourne were travelling down to investigate at the same time. None of the bank's staff sustained injuries in the incident. Shoppers continued to moved through the city unperturbed as the investigations continued. Police urged witnesses or anyone with information on the incident to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to make a confidential report at crimestoppers.vic.com.au.

IN BRIEF

New boss at pound after years in the red

Moorabool concerns Traders have met council representatives to express concerns about the proposed replacement of car parks with bicycle lanes on the western side of Moorabool Street. City Hall said the traders presented “alternative options” to including Moorabool Street in Geelong’s proposed cycling network but confirmed that TAC’s $4.7 million for the project was contingent on retaining routes “set for years ago”.

Trains improve V/Line trains have posted their best monthly punctuality results since October 2016, according to the company. April performance figures showed the 91.5 per cent of Geelong trains arrived at their destination on time and 97.4 per cent of scheduled services were delivered, V/Line said.

Five arrested Geelong police have arrested two men and three teenagers over a series of aggravated burglaries in Geelong on Wednesday night. Police said officers arrested two 26-year-old men attempting to flee a stolen car at Lovely Banks and boys aged 16 and 14 with a 15-yearold girl as they fled another stolen vehicle at East Geelong

Access objective A Geelong councillor with a hearing disability will chair a new committee aiming to make the city’s public places 100 per cent accessible for disabled people. Cr Anthony Aitken said his own experiences had given him “tremendous empathy and understanding” of local accessibility issues confronting many residents and visitors.

Storages fall

LEADER: New GAWS chief Helen Cocks has arrived with high-level RSPCA experience.

Tree election issue after numbers rise By Luke Voogt Geelong’s floating Christmas tree is set to become an election issue after its visitor numbers increased by 36,382 in 2017. Mayor Bruce Harwood said he would approach MPs about state funding after council this week revealed a second annual rise in visitation. “We could consider doing this on the basis of its significant tourism and economic impact for Geelong,” Cr Harwood said. “We’ll take advice from local MPs initially and see what feedback we get.” The tree attracted 164,872 visits in 2017 according to council data, up on 128,490 in 2016 and about 123,000 in 2015. The tree’s debut year, 2014, attracted the most visitors, 180,000. Geelong’s administrators in 2016 voted to fund the tree until 7 January 2019. Council could seek funding from the State Government pending the outcome of a City

The condition of a teenage male critically injured in a Drysdale car crash has improved to serious but stable, according to an Alfred Hospital spokesperson. The 18-year-old was a front-seat passenger in a car that hit left Carolanne Drive and hit a power police at 1.50am Sunday, with the male driver escaping uninjured.

Hall assessment into the tree’s long-term future, Cr Harwood said. “We’ll always consider all funding options and make an informed decision when the report comes before council later in the year.” Geelong’s overall Christmas program attracted 259,801 visitors in 2017, injecting an estimated $17.3 million into the economy, according to City Hall research, The figure was up on 216,050 visitors in 2016 and $15.6 million in 2015. “Council’s yearly investment in the program has been returned many times over in terms of increased economic activity,” Cr Harwood said. But Victorian Local Government Minister Marlene Kairouz said council would have to fund the project. “This is a council initiative and does not include any state funding,” she said. Former mayor Darryn Lyons said the Andrews Government would not back a project that he introduced during his tenure.

“The government isn’t looking at the success of it, they’re making it about politics.” Mr Lyons urged the state coalition to fund the tree as a commitment for November’s election. “I think Matthew Guy should step up right now and say, ’We’ll give a couple of million dollars toward improving (it)’.” A new international terminal at Avalon Airport could further increase numbers visiting Geelong’s Christmas program, he said. “That $17.3 million could be $30 million in a couple of years. “Other states in Australia are looking at Geelong’s success in Christmas because I’ve been contacted personally by them for consulting roles, to which so far I’ve said no.” South Barwon MP Andrew Katos last November said he would consider funding the attraction but made no commitment. Labor’s Geelong MP, Christine Couzens, did not respond to the Indy’s call for comment before the paper went to press yesterday.

The region’s water storages have continued declining ahead of wet weather forecast to sweep southern Victoria. Barwon Water recorded a decline of 590 million litres over the past week to a capacity of 48.6 per cent despite 42mm of rain in the catchment area over the same time.

Group funding More state money has flowed to a Geelong group working on energy sustainability projects. Geelong Sustainability Group has received $300,000 to create “energy-efficient rooms” for people at risk of “serious illness or death from climate extremes” after obtaining an earlier $140,000 to put solar panels on an aged-care facility.

A “proven leader” in animal welfare has taken the reigns of Geelong’s main pound after years of financial losses. Geelong Animal Welfare Society (GAWS) this announced the appointment of Helen Cocks as chief executive officer to replace Adrian Buckley, who held the job for two and a half years. Ms Cocks was formerly executive manager of animal services at RSPCA Victoria, GAWS said. She had managed 18 council pound contracts, two major veterinary clinics and RSPCA’s Inspectorate, which included prosecutions of animal cruelty cases. Her work prior to the RSPCA included highranking positions in the Victorian health sector, including director of Greater Dandenong Community Health Services. GAWS president Maria Mercurio welcomed the appointment. “Helen brings excellent management and animal welfare skills to the CEO role and the directors look forward to her leading GAWS into the future,” . “Helen has a proven record of delivering outstanding animal welfare outcomes and management of large teams, complex processes and significant budgets. She will be a passionate advocate for GAWS and under her leadership GAWS will continue to move forward in key areas such as responsible pet ownership, animal welfare vet services, community engagement regarding the importance of de-sexing and other priority areas. “This appointment is an exciting new chapter for GAWS and we look forward to benefitting from Helen’s wealth of knowledge and experience as GAWS continues to develop and deliver shelter, pound and vet clinic care to the community.” GAWS last annual report showed the charity on the cusp of emerging from several years of losses. GAWS finished around $800,000 in the red in 2015 but halved its losses the following year before posting a $20,000 deficit in 2017. The society’s revenue, including donations, more than doubled last year, increasing $1.8 million on 2016.

City unveils growth sites Geelong’s council has released plans for two Armstrong Creek-sized developments in the city’s north and west. City Hall expected the areas to house 110,000 people, more than Ballarat, by 2015. Council voted this week to release both growth area plans for public consultation. Mayor Bruce Harwood described the longterm project as “an enormous opportunity to create something special for Geelong.“ “The growth areas were identified in 2013 in partnership with the Victorian Government and now we’re making sure they reflect the community’s vision,“ Cr Harwood said. “We’re planning for the long-term to care-

fully grow each neighbourhood over the coming decades. “We need to ensure housing remains affordable and that there is diversity in the housing market place for potential buyers.“ The Northern Geelong Growth Area will be home to 48,000 people with 17,000 dwellings over 2,089 hectares, according to the plans. The area would feature more than 100 metres of rise with “stunning, panoramic“ views across Corio Bay, a council spokesperson said. “It’s well connected to Geelong’s employment precincts, Avalon Airport and the Port of Geelong. Around 30 per cent of the Northern Geelong Growth Area will be retained as open

space.” The Western Geelong Growth Area will be home to 62,000 people with 22,000 dwellings over 3,245 hectares, according to the plans. The plan proposed converting Batesford quarry into a lake after it closed and building a tree-lined corridor prioritising public transport, walking and cycling. The growth area would also feature of 20 kilometres of river frontage, the spokesperson said. “Planning will focus on protecting the strong environment and heritage values of the area, including the charm and character of the Batesford township. “Around 40 per cent of the Western Geelong

Growth Area will be retained as open space. Lara developer Richard Bisinella welcomed the plans to expand but wanted to see more details before commenting further. “It’s important for Geelong to continue to grow so that opportunities aren’t lost to other regions in the state.” Council sustainable development portfolio holder Jim Mason said the plans gave Geelong certainty. “Our ultimate goal is to create sustainable and connected communities that enhance community wellbeing while keeping the same character and lifestyle that locals enjoy today,” Cr Mason said.

Budget gives region ‘gruel’ By Luke Voogt

PAW-FECT: Justice Cameron with her colour-matched canine fashionista Byron.

Great Dane out for pooches in the pound By Luke Voogt When Justice Cameron met five-month-old pup Byron at Geelong Animal Welfare Society (GAWS) in 2016 she had to take her home. “I saw her little face and just couldn’t go past her,” the 22-year-old said ahead of her canine fashionista’s debut at Geelong Million Paws Walk. “I went home to figure out if I could have a dog. Half an hour later I was like, ‘Yes, I can’t leave her there’, so I went back that night and got her.” The St Albans Park photographer and part-

time “doggy day care” worker said Geelong had “plenty of dogs in need”. “The pound isn’t a great place to go but it’s also a place where you can find your best friend. I found Byron and I haven’t looked back.” The fussy but mellow great Dane-cross enjoyed tug of war and “running around like an absolute idiot with her big legs,“ Justice said. “She cracks us up. She’ll sit with her butt on the couch but her legs will be on the floor like a human.” The well-trained “social butterfly” had become part of the family, along with Justice’s

partner, Jessica May. “She just loves being around people. Her presence in the room changes your day,” Justice said. And the profitable pooch has even had time to create a bandana line with her human, which she will model at the Million Paws Walk. The hip hound was wagging her tail over walking with dog lovers and their canine companions to raise money for the RSPCA on 20 May. “We really want to go and participate in a good cause,” Justice said.

Local Labor MP Richard Marles has slammed the Federal Government’s budget failure to match $153.2 million in state funding for a City Deal. “The City Deal has come to nothing as (Liberal Corangamite MP) Sarah Henderson has failed again to deliver,” the Member for Corio said. State Government last week announced the $153.2 million for a convention centre, the Shipwreck Coast and central Geelong redevelopment in its latest budget. But this week's federal budget omitted matched funding for City Deal. “It’s disappointing Geelong has been left with thin gruel and not much else in this budget,” Mr Marles said. “The Liberal party is clearly more interested in putting its own interests before the people of Geelong and the country.” The chief of local municipal alliance body G21 described the lack of City Deal funding as “odd” after the “build-up by the Prime Minister and his government.“ “City Deals are a Turnbull Government concept and initiative, after all,” Elaine Carbines said. “It's true that a City Deal is yet to be fully finalised. However, it’s expected a deal will be locked down soon.” Ms Carbines welcomed $20 million to expand Avalon Airport and $50 million for rail duplication between Geelong and Waurn Ponds stations. Ms Henderson said 65,558 residents and 16,921 businesses in Corangamite would benefit under the budget. “Many will receive a new offset of up to $530 a year under our plan to reduce cost pressures on household budgets,” said Ms Henderson. “We are delivering tax relief with a focus on low and middle income earners, infrastructure investment and responsibly returning the budget to balance.”

DOUBLE TAKE Burning sculptures, songlines, coal-mine protests - two Geelong festivals last weekend seemed a little more new-age than usual. The arduous Mountain to Mouth arts walk earned some praise but the other, Geelong After Dark, copped flak for the anti-mine message of one light display on City Hall. Fair enough, public events are fair game for public opinion, after all. But both events also demonstrated just how far Geelong’s come in terms of community revelry. And mostly in the right direction, if not left in terms of politics. Yes, nothing on the current calendar holds a candle to the bipartisan horror that was … Springding. For anyone able to remember, and for those who would rather not, this 1980s festival was in spring all right but the ‘ding’ was more ‘dung’ as the celebrations fatefully coincided with the rise of cask wine among Geelong’s budget drinkers. In other words, practically everyone at the time. Eventually the boozy antics led to Springding’s demise, possibly clearing the way for genteel events like Geelong After Dark. So these days, maybe thankfully, the theme’s slightly political rather than paralytic! Mind you, at risk of becoming even more sickening than the day after Springding is the ubiquity of City Hall's favourite new catchphrase. After inheriting the 'Clever and Creative' imperative from their predecessor administrators, Geelong’s councillors are applying the phrase with gusto. The council’s barely six months old but is already Clever and Creative beyond its age, using the mantra to justify, explain or reference everything from international travel to community events. This week the slogan was stretched further to include, of all things, roadways in proposed growth areas. According to council, “Clever and Creative Corridors” will provide "prioritise" public transport, bicyclists and pedestrians in the city’s new northern and western growth areas. What next? Clever and Creative Toilet Blocks? Clever and Creative Parking Officers? Give us a break, or would that be just a little too clever to ask?

BURN BABY BURN: Canoe begins its descent down the You Yangs to a fiery demise off Barwon Heads. (Ed Sloane)

‘Unifying’ ends with flames Thousands of walkers have celebrated the region’s indigenous heritage before burning a sculpture on Bass Strait in a council-sponsored “unifier of local communities”, according to City Hall. The third biennial Mountain to Mouth “extreme arts walk” travelled 80km from the You Yangs to Barwon Heads via central Geelong and Queenscliff last weekend. Three ceremonies along the way were described as “uplifting, moving and life-affirming”, City Hall said. The first ceremony was a ‘Gathering of the Elders” in the You Yangs before further gatherings at Geelong After Dark and on Barwon Heads’ foreshore. Participants carried “lead ephemeral sculpture” Canoe along the route, which also hosted nine "songlines", City Hall said. The arts walk culminated with organisers

burning Canoe off Barwon Heads. City Hall said numerous government and agencies provided “support” for the event, including “most importantly, the guidance, knowledge and wisdom of the Wadawurrung Corporation and the Wathaurong Co-Operative, specifically Uncle Bryon Powell and Corrina Eccles”. “The weather certainly didn’t dampen spirits and Mountain to Mouth once again proved to be one of our most community-spirited events, showcasing a unique side of Geelong,” City Hall said. “Thank you to all of the supporters that enable this award-winning event to take place and congratulations to the hard working officers at the City whose commitment delivers an exceptional experience for the community.” * 'I cried when sculpture burned' - Letters, page 14

From front page “We haven’t been able to redeploy anybody, unfortunately. We’re very proud of the fact we employed 17 people (over 15 years), all at award wages,” he said. Diversitat, a not-for-profit multicultural services provider, took over Wholefoods from a community cooperative in the early 2000s. Mr Martinez said the store would likely have closed 15 years ago if his organisation had not taken over. “We took it over when it was a co-op and it was making massive losses. We were approached by them to keep it open. “The volunteering had collapsed. They were turning over a few hundred dollars a day.” Diversitat purchased the store’s new premises for $753,500 in 2017. “The valuation now is a lot more than that more than double,” Mr Martinez said. The store doubled its turnover at the new location but increased costs led to a loss of “more than $100,000”, he confirmed. Customers, members of the original Geelong Wholefoods co-op and disgruntled former employees have formed a group objecting to the closure. “It feels so frustrating to see the place run into the ground,” said member Pati Seiler. When the co-op opened in the 1970s residents volunteered a few hours a week for a membership that allowed purchases at the store, she said. “It has deep roots in the region and is very meaningful to customers past and present.” Ms Seiler said Wholefoods lost many costumers between the closure of its Bayley Street store around Christmas 2016 and its reopening at Mercer Street in mid-2017. “I think it was very detrimental.“ Diversitat promoted the opening on social media but failed to reach some of its customer base who lived “offline,” she said. “People are saying they didn’t even know it was open.”

Devils in the detail By Luke Voogt Beata Ujvari’s research began with her husband’s cancer diagnosis in 2008 and last week saw her travel to Canberra for a new agreement with France. But the Torquay evolutionary biologist has never thought herself a “cancer researcher” despite spearheading a project that could lead to a breakthrough in the field. “I didn’t set out to become a cancer researcher and I don’t call myself a cancer researcher,” she said. Dr Ujvari was in Canberra as French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull signed their agreement on a “laboratory without walls” for the project. Her husband’s diagnosis motivated her to begin the project studying cancer in Tasmanian devils in 2011. “You feel completely helpless. You want to make a difference and try to help your loved ones,” she said. “I felt I needed to use my education and knowledge to help my husband, help the Tasmanian devils and contribute to cancer research.” Her work on the cute critters, and later zebrafish, could lead to breakthroughs in cancer research and treatment in humans, she explained. “We started identifying certain molecules in the immune system that are targeting the cancer.” Her husband went into remission in 2013 and in the same year Dr Ujvari began working with French researchers on her work. Last week’s agreement will cement the collaboration between French researchers, Deakin University and the University of Tasmania. The agreement would help scientists travel between the two countries so they could share experiments and work with each other’s’ stu-

dents, Dr Ujvari said. She will visit France in August, while one of her key collaborators will come to her Deakin’s Waurn Ponds campus in November, she said. “It gives us more of a chance to exchange ideas.” The ground-breaking project could reshape

the field of cancer biology with its “transdisciplinary” approach, Dr Ujvari said. “The laboratory will draw on specialists working in mathematics, cell biology, evolutionary biology, and behavioural ecology to understand the role of cancer in ecological and evolutionary processes.”

Crash sparks upgrade call A road accident that seriously injured a teenager motorcyclist has inspired more than 2000 Ocean Grove residents to petition for a safety upgrade. Concerned locals are worried the intersection of Presidents Ave and Orton St being a blind spot and will result in another serious injury or death. Tyler Pearce, 18, has since undergone three operations after colliding with a car at the notorious intersection on 23 April. Locals gathered at the intersection on Saturday with Member for Western Victoria Simon Ramsay to raise their concerns about the potential death trap. The intersection, one of the town’s busiest, provides access to the town’s popular beach and its traditional shopping strip. City of Greater Geelong’s strategic plan for Ocean Grove identifies the intersection as dangerous. Locals feared that a fatal accident would be inevitable without safety improvements, Mr Ramsay said. “The great frustration here is that everyone knows this is a treacherous intersection,” he said. Mr Ramsay put the concerns to state parliament last week, asking what Roads Minister Luke Donnellan what he was doing about the intersection. “This is a blind spot known to residents over many years. It has been brought to the attention of the government and to VicRoads but unfortunately no action has been taken up to this point in time,” Mr Ramsay told parliament. “My understanding is that VicRoads is aware of this very dangerous blind spot due to the diligent advocacy of local residents.” More than 2000 people had already signed the petition seeking safety improvements, Mr Ramsay said. The petition is online at bit.ly/FixOrton.

VITAL PREVENTION: Kimberly Rice and mum Joan with a Rotary Bowelscan kit. (Louisa Jones) 154686

Life-saver kit’s online boost By Luke Voogt About 80 Australians die each week from bowel cancer but most deaths are preventable, says Torquay theatre nurse Kimberly Rice. To help the prevention push, this week Kimberly promoted a new website to access Rotary Bowelscan kits for detecting signs of the disease. The website took orders for the life-saving $18 kit without having to attend a pharmacy, she said. “You don’t even have to leave home. We’re trying to reach more people.” The 35-year-old became a campaigner for the bowel cancer awareness after both her parents suffered the disease. Her mum saw a GP immediately after noticing symptoms and survived, but sadly her dad put off testing and died. Kimberly was 13 when mum Joan was diag-

nosed at 47 after experiencing lower abdominal pain and a change in bowel habits. Life-saving surgery followed her diagnosis. Three years later dad Keith noticed bleeding and appetite and weight loss. “He said it was nothing to worry about, probably just haemorrhoids,” Kimberly said. “He was absolutely terrified of anything medical.” Keith, 61, finally saw a GP after becoming seriously unwell but the surgery was too late. He died two weeks later. “I never want anyone to go through what we experienced as a family,” Kimberly said. Ninety per cent of bowel cancers were curable if detected early, she said. Now Kimberley uses the simple, non-invasive Rotary Bowelscan kit each year at home. More information and kit orders are available at rotarybowelscan.com.au

Political art still in frame By Luke Voogt City Hall’s art director has declined to rule out further political agendas featuring in next year’s Geelong After Dark following a controversial projection at last Friday’s event. Kaz Paton defended the “edgy” projection protesting a planned coal mine in Queensland after criticism from Ratepayers Geelong. The projection, across City Hall, compared the size of the controversial proposed Adani coal mine to Geelong during the state and council funded event. Ms Paton declined to comment on whether it was appropriate for ratepayers and taxpayers to fund the projection of art with political agendas. She also declined to say if council would review, limit or balance political messages in next year’s Geelong After Dark. “We review all comments ... to ensure that next year’s event is even better, and we really appreciate the wonderful feedback we’ve already received,“ she said. But Ratepayers Geelong president Andrew Senia said reviewing the event’s political messaging was unnecessary. “It shouldn’t be in there in the first place.” Regardless of the message, council should not fund the projection of art pushing a political agenda with ratepayer and taxpayer dollars, Mr Senia said. “What we’re against is abusing ratepayers’ money for the promotion of political agendas - whether they are right or wrong.” Mr Senia called on council to rule out similar political protests appearing at Geelong After Dark in future. “You have to ask the question what’s next,” he said. “Council shouldn’t get involved with political messages because they divide the community as not everybody will agree with them. “Ratepayers Geelong’s message to council

HARPYING ON: Ayrlie Lane appears as The Harpy at last Friday night's After Dark in central Geelong. is mind your own business and keep out of it.” More than 20,000 people attended Geelong After Dark, according council figures, as it transformed the city centre with projections, light installations, music, costumed characters and more. About three quarters of the earth-themed

event featured Geelong artists, with several nationally and internally renowned artists joining them. Choirs welcomed the Mouth to Mountain canoe as it passed Johnstone Park on its way from the You Yangs to the mouth of the Barwon River.

“Central Geelong has truly come alive in a fantastic showcase of the depth and diversity of regional talent,“ Geelong Mayor Bruce Harwood said. “This wonderful celebration gives our community an opportunity to experience its city in a new and exciting way.“

LETTERS Walk on the wild side I applaud and thank everyone involved in Mountain to Mouth Extreme Arts Walk. It was the most excellent public event I had ever attended. I did the walk for the first time. I wish I had heard about it years ago. The concept was exquisite, the arts sublime, the walk challenging and rewarding, the performances professional and passionate. The involvement of so many parts of the community was superb. Teams from various groups carried the artistically envisioned canoe for the 80km in relays. I became deeply attached to the canoe and cried when it burned in the final ceremony. I appreciated all the little things people contributed; the women who baked muffins and brought them down to the river at dawn for the walkers, the quirky performances and little art pieces popping out of the landscape as we walked, the various choirs and school groups. This was a walk with meaning; about caring for and respecting Earth. Something we only need more of. Being over 65 and not highly trained, I couldn't walk the whole way but did get to most of the changeover stations to see the excellent arts, performances and the canoe being carried. I managed to walk over 20km. The planning, organisation and attention to detail was unbelievable. To have hundreds of people walking from the You Yangs to the mouth of the Barwon River via Queenscliff and kept to scheduled was amazing. I can hardly wait for the next Mountain to Mouth walk. Chris Sitka Northcote

Hopeless representation In regard to Gary Oraniuk’s letter, headlined ‘People losing power’ (Geelong Indy, 4 May), I can understand his frustration at community apathy when politicians quietly introduce laws that can affect the wellbeing of people. There is complete silence from the community about the proposed 2018 Victorian Local Government Act. This is a carbon copy of when fluoridation was forced upon the community despite overwhelming opposition. As time goes on medical evidence accumulates that this practice is outdated and harmful. When will our elected politicians remember we voted for them and that they are supposed to be servants of their constituents? I am not hopeful. KW Oakley

Chuck in waste opinions

1238631-RC32-16

Regarding the alleged war on waste, one of the biggest offenders seems to be government, which has failed to legislate appropriately against plastics getting into the environment. One of the major causes is packaging, another is the desire for clean drinking water. Added to this is the fact many town water supplies are fluoridated, and that legions of people are unhappy to be forcibly medicated by governments like Victoria’s, which, at the time fluoridation began, told us we were getting it and that was it. In order to assess the extent of dissatisfaction with fluoridation and the consequent bottle pollution, I am surveying Geelong people via email address flickthefluoride@iinet.net.au

BUCKETS & BOUQUETS Bouquets to a kind gentleman who handed in my wallet at Village Cinemas after I accidentally dropped it there late on 30 April. A simple, honest act saved me a lot of trouble at a stressful time. Grateful, Newtown Buckets to the proliferation of rubbish along the Surf Coast Highway, which became even more obvious after recent mowing. Tradies need to take greater care with their loads and some pigs need to keep their rubbish until they reach a bin. Commuter, Torquay Buckets to whoever decided to close the Gheringhap Street exist from Deakin University’s Waterfront campus on the night of Jimmy Barnes’ concert. Patrons were left with only one gate for leaving Costa Hall and people in wheelchairs had to be lifted down steps to leave. Thankfully no one yelled ‘fire’. What About OH&S, Grovedale Readers can email me to register their interest, for statistical purposes. The slogan for the campaign is: If In Doubt, Chuck It Out! This relates to plastic waste added to the environment via buying water and to fluoridation. Junk from filtered water goes back into the ecosystem too, so we have concentrated filth returning to the environment. If the fluoride was never there in the first place we would not have a problem. I will report my statistics to this paper after an appropriate time. Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

Cleverly forbidden A boy once took to swearing at the dinner table. His parents objected, so he explained that the words were being studied at school, which was a bit too clever. City of Greater Geelong has a dislike for embarrassing questions. The local law for public question time forbids embarrassing questions at meetings of council. Even the intent to ask an embarrassing question is precluded. One hardly suspects it, but this also is a bit too clever. After all, the CEO, chair and half the board of management recently resigned over embarrassment in the public eye of mistakes in governance at AMP. Peter Linaker Ocean Road

Sensors and sensibility The pathway to driverless vehicles is a bit of a rocky road that may have developers wishing they hadn't bothered.

How do we develop a sensor for the mind of a cranky kangaroo? Now the UK wants drivers to be aware of nomadic hedgehogs, which are being massacred on British roads. Crikey, this needs sensors at ground-level to literally pick up tiny hedgehogs because evasive action is impossible.

Blown on the wind Governments of all political hues wax eloquent about renewable energy, especially wind turbines. However, the public is not given the full facts about wind turbines. Unrelentingly unpredictable and uncontrollable, wind energy causes serious reliability issues across the grid. New wind farms are announced with maximum output quoted but the reality is that the actual output will only be 29 per cent of the rated capacity. Wind energy limited capacity value has not been adequately addressed by governments. Because wind energy must be permanently paired with gas, adding more wind energy to the grid requires that substantially more gas be added to the grid. The claim that wind energy is as cheap as fossil fuels is incorrect because costs incurred by wind energy are not directly attributed to it, similarly to solar energy.

Email: editorial@geelongindependent.com.au 78 Moorabool St, Geelong, 3220 Fax: 5249 6799 The Bill Shorten opposition pledges to increase Australia’s renewable energy target to 50 per cent by 2030, which would be a monumental catastrophe for Australia’s economy. To make matters worse, Labor is also thinking about introducing a carbon tax that will make the situation far worse while also driving up energy costs. Alan Barron Grovedale

Forced into tolerance At the 2018 Plunkett lecture, Professor Daniel Sulmasy commented that those demanding acceptance and tolerance were at times the most intolerant. This was demonstrated by the treatment of Israel Folau and his wife. When asked for his belief on God’s judgement on homosexuality, Mr Falau gave the correct Biblical response. We then witnessed an army of opposition gathered to demand punishment for his conscientious Bible-based belief. The pushy demand for acceptance might have brought about a desire for more rational debate. The call by Prof Sulmasy to respect the personal conscience of surgeons in refusing to perform particular operations, the popularity of Jordan Petersen’s arguments, and the rise of Jacob Rees-Mogg in British politics gives hope of better understanding based on facts, not force. Pastor Frank Lowry Aberdeen Street Baptist Church

Give flu our best shot The best protection from influenza this year is to be vaccinated now before the disease spreads more widely in the community. For people under 65 and without significant existing medical conditions, getting vaccinated any time is okay. No one should miss an opportunity to be vaccinated if it is already scheduled. The record number of Victorian flu notifications last year was a timely reminder about the importance of vaccination. There were more than 48,000 cases, with a number of deaths reported. Already preparations are underway to provide influenza immunisations for key groups. This year we expect to make more than one million doses of vaccine available. Victoria is providing free immunisation to babies and children from six months to under 5 years. Two doses are required for those receiving the vaccine for the first time. Seniors will also be protected, with all Victorians over 65 eligible for a free vaccination. Everyone aged 65 and over will receive a specially formulated vaccine that triggers a stronger immune response for increased protection. Our message this winter is simple: ‘You never forget the flu, don’t forget your flu shot.’ Flu vaccinations save lives. When more people are vaccinated, fewer people become ill or suffer life-threatening complications from influenza. The flu is not like a cold. Symptoms last on average one to two weeks but for some recovery takes several weeks. Influenza kills more than 3500 Australians annually. More information is available at betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/flu-influenza-immunisation. Brett Sutton Victorian deputy chief health officer

FINALLY FRIDAY

Bleeding the humour vein By Luke Voogt

STRONG: Paula Arundell in The Bleeding Tree. (Brett Boardman)

Victorian writer Angus Cerini could be lurking in the audience as his “grotesquely funny” play begins with a gunshot in the night. Geelong will be the last stop on The Bleeding Tree’s latest tour since Cerini watched it premiere in Sydney in 2014. “I’m almost certainly going to be there,” he told the Indy recently. “It might be the last time this ever happens.” The play’s longevity continued to amaze Cerini. “It’s not often enough that Australian plays get a second or third life. Usually they’ll have a season and that’s it,” he said. “It’s really as simple as the fact it’s got a really simple, cracking story underneath it.” Cerini took two and a half years and 20 drafts to write the play, before watching with pride from the audience as director Lee Lewis brought it to life. “It was pretty much the same as what Geelong will see,“ he said. “It’s always pretty nerve wracking handing your work over but Lee’s honoured the words I’ve written and brought her own sensibility to it.” The play begins with a gunshot in a dirt-dry town in rural Australia, as three women frantically try to dispose the body of their former tormentor. “The minute the play starts we’re in the action,” Cerini said. “The murder has happened at 11.55pm and we start the play at 12am.”

Through the trio’s mockery the audience discovers the man they murdered, because of a plea for help that “went unanswered“. “We shouldn’t like these three women for what they’ve done but we can’t help but like them,” Cerini said.“On one hand we shouldn’t be going, ‘Yay murder!’ But on the other hand you’re thinking, ‘Yay - they’ve got rid of the asshole.’ “There’s a delicious aspect to the way these three women overcome their circumstances. They’re not victims at all - they’re winning. “If we were in their position we’d do exactly the same thing.” The Bleeding Tree features prolific Australian actresses Brenna Harding, Sophie Ross and Paula Arundell, who has been with the play since it began. The cast play several characters, and animals, without costume changes or leaving the stage, Cerini said. “They’ve got their work cut out for them,” he said. “But (they get) better and better each time.” Cerini said he had never experienced domestic violence but helping with a piece about the “scars women carry” inspired him. He wrote the first 20 pages of The Bleeding Tree “in a rush in response to that.” “I didn’t want those women to be victims,” he said. “I wanted them to be powerful.” Cerini planned hold a “Q and A” when The Bleeding Tree comes to Geelong Performing Arts Centre from 23 to 26 May. He encouraged locals make a night of it and grab a meal in town before or after the show. “Come to the theatre! Treat yourself!” he said.

Farewell for Irish Charlie

GOODBYE AUSTRALIA: UK country icon Charlie Landsborough will perform at the Sphinx for the last time this month.

By Luke Voogt

12385435-RC19-18

UK country music icon Charlie Landsborough was “amazed“ to find a couple who drove 600km to Tamworth for his first Australian performance in 2000. “I thought nobody will have heard of me here,” he said his strong Liverpool accent after flying into Australia last week. “I wouldn’t go round the corner to see myself!” But the couple had heard all the songs from his scores of albums, he said. “To think that you’ve written something in your bedroom, and 12,000 miles away and years later, someone has picked that up - it gives you a hell of a lift.” The 76-year-old told the Indy his last Australian tour, which includes a stop at the Sphinx on 23 May, would be “tinged with regret.“ “I may come back and see old friends but this is last tour I’ll be doing,” he said. “Everyone who asks me about Australia, I always tell them good things.” Landsborough said Australians “were like the Irish”. Ireland was where he scored his first big break, which explained his fondness for Aussies, he explained. “What you see is what you get - no one takes themselves too seriously and they’ve got a great capacity for humour.” Australian fans had described him as a lookalike for family members who “had let themselves go” or an elderly “Jesus,” he said. “I usually get a story or two out of Australia.“

Landsborough grew up the youngest of 11 children near Liverpool dooklands. “When I started writing I discovered you didn’t need to be in an ivory tower across the Atlantic,” he said. Where you come from influences a lot of what you write and who you are.“ After decades of working odd jobs and playing in pubs, he made an appearance on an Irish variety show in 1994. The appearance led to his song What Colour is the Wind, about a blind child’s attempts to see the world, playing across Irish radio. Landsborough has since produced 19 albums and won practically every UK country award. But returning home to play with “the good ol’” Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra in 1995 remains his career highlight. “It’s like attending your own funeral - everywhere there’s somebody from every part of your life - there was everyone from nuns to safebreakers.” Landsborough said he normally played for an older crowd but “kids” surprised him by turning up. “Thanks to the likes of YouTube and that you get calls from all over the world, from China to Scandinavia, to perform.” Landsborough was grateful to have made a life out of music - while enjoying relative “anonymity”. “I’ve got a friend who plays drums for Robbie Williams and he can’t go anywhere - poor Robbie is a prisoner of his fame!”

SIMPLY THE BEST

All furniture locally made Geelong has a long history in manufacturing. Retailer and manufacturer Banksia Lounges still makes all its furniture onsite, which enables this heritage to live on. From its new showroom and studio in North Geelong, Banksia Lounges manufactures new sofas, produces custom orders and offers reupholstering. The showroom has onsite parking at the front door, with more than 40 quality-made sofas on display and a vast range of fabrics and leather. In an industry that usually demands at least an eight-week wait for delivery, Banksia Lounges will complete orders in four. For those in the market for an addition to their lounge room - an armchair, a chaise or a sprawling modular set-up - this innovative business offers a world of possibilities. In the showroom, there’s a plethora of choices in design and structural options, as well as eye-catching patterns and plush finishes such as leather, fabric and velour. Beyond the showroom, there’s a hub of activity in Banksia Lounges’ studio. The Banksia team works on sofas of all styles, from 1970s and 1980s furniture to what business owner Dominic Podbury describes as the “modern, top-of-the-range” streamlined sofas, in soft leather and buttery tones, that would easily take pride of place in many lounge rooms. The tools of the trade bang and clatter as busy staff construct lounges and reupholster

pieces on workbenches. As well as the new builds and refurbishment, Banksia does makeovers on old sofas. “We’re Geelong’s largest re-upholsterer,“ Dominic says. Dozens of other pieces of furniture are scattered around, waiting their turn. “Some people come in with a junky old couch and we’ll reupholster it,” he says. For this Geelong business, keeping it all onsite - especially in an age when so much is made offshore - has paid off. “We have to work exceptionally hard,” Dominic says. This business is more of an artisan trade than the land of cheap and replicable. “Our guys aren’t mass production workers,” he says. “We never have two pieces the same ... we are always doing something different.“ Dominic is thrilled to be able to offer local apprenticeships - the busy team relies on helping hands that are keen to learn the trade. “We’re training apprentices, Geelongbased,” he says. “It’s an opportunity to be creative.” And his employees’ devotion to their trade is having some unexpected benefits to his business, Dominic explains. “Our younger factory staff are pushing us into the new social media avenues,” he says. “They want their workmanship displayed I’m enjoying our local kids’ enthusiasm.”

(Behind Vic Roads)

• Automotive • Industrial • Marine

Low-impact collisions typical in shopping centre car parks are annoying to say the least. Add to this the fact that people rarely own up to damaging other people’s cars. It has been noticed that drivers are often scared to back-up any further due to very limited vision. These are the occasions where reverse sensors are very welcome. Bumper Master fits reversing sensors to help customers overcome fears of backing into objects or even pedestrians. Reversing sensors help prevent damage to owners’ cars as well as the vehicles of neighbours and other motorists. They can also help when backing out of tight garages and past narrow gateposts. Bumper Master can also help owners improve the appearance of bumpers when selling vehicles. Bumpers are the first part of any car to incur damage – and first impressions are important when trying to sell. All Bumper Master repairs come with a no-questions-asked warranty to give customers peace of mind. Best of all, most bumper repairs are done for less than the cost of insurance excesses. Located behind VicRoads at 3 Dowsett St, South Geelong, Bumper Master has proven experience in providing an alternative repair service to the bumper regions of any car. Owners wanting to improve the resale value of their cars should phone Bumper Master on 5221 0138.

Ford Australia has provided us with detailed information on the German-made Focus that's due here at a date yet to be announced, but probably late this year. New Ford Focus will be the first vehicle built on company's C2 global platform, making for greater body strength with less weight. Styling gives it a low and sleek look, with a huge front grille and a slick tail obviously aimed at low aero drag. It certainly moves away from the somewhat bland shape of previous Focuses. Body types are sedan, five-door hatchback and station wagon. Ford Australia won't confirm that all will be coming to Australia. Cars coming Downunder will have a strong emphasis on safety, with Autonomous Emergency Braking with Night-time Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection standard across the range. An impressive safety feature is a rear wideview camera, offering almost 180 degrees for improved visibility when reversing from parking spaces or driveways. Power for Australian focus models will be generated by either a 1.5-litre three-cylinder naturally-aspirated engine or a 1.5-litre tur-

We will provide more details on the new Ford Focus as they become available. In the meantime it's fascinating to note that the two ‘local’ car marques are keen to promote the German build quality of their vehicles, with Ford Focus and Holden Commodore being made in the country where cars were invented over 130 years ago.

Middling Cats, Pies in ‘match of round’ By Justin Flynn At first glance, Geelong’s match against Collingwood seems like just another run-of-the-mill game between two sides languishing around the middle of the ladder. But delve a little further and it could well be the game of the round, even ahead of the Adelaide showdown, a tantalising clash between Hawthorn and Sydney and a huge encounter between GWS and West Coast. Geelong regained some form last week with a belting of GWS while the Pies were pushed to the brink by a winless Brisbane, but has been in good nick this season. If you can have a season defining game in May, then this Mother’s Day afternoon game shapes as a beauty. The Cats will be missing key forward Tom Hawkins, who pleaded guilty to making contact with an umpire. The big Cat received a one-match ban at the tribunal on Tuesday night. “I absolutely respect the umpires and their importance to the game at all levels,“ Hawkins said after tribunal’s verdict. “The tribunal came up with a decision today that was in the best interests of the game and I totally respect that.“ Geelong had some good news this week, though, with Jack Henry being the AFL’s round 7 Rising Star nominee. Henry, 19, has slotted into the Cats’ defence seamlessly this season with fellow key defenders Harry Taylor and Lachie Henderson out injured.

IMPROVED CAT: Tom Stewart has slotted into the Cats’ defence with Jack Henry in the absence of (Rebecca Hosking) Harry Taylor and Lachie Henderson. 167380 In fact Henry and Tom Stewart have proven to be more than worthy in Taylor’s and Henderson’s spots. Henry delivered the best performance of his six-game career - an 18-disposal, 11-mark effort - in the Cats’ win over the Giants. “It is pretty crazy just going into the club and seeing some of the guys I’ve grown up watching, and now I’m working with them,“ Henry said. “I’m lucky how everything’s panned out; being picked up by Geelong and living down the road. It’s a dream come true. “But I’ve been here for the best part of a

year-and-a-half now, so it’s worn off a little now - I’m not as star struck, anyway.“ Collingwood has been one of the big improvers of the season and is playing some good footy despite sitting ninth on the ladder. Adam Treloar and Steele Sidebottom are racking possessions in the midfield while Jordan De Goey booted five goals last week. The Pies, along with Geelong, are one of six teams on four wins and three losses. The loser of this clash will temporarily slip back on the pegging order of teams looking for that important top four spot. Sunday’s game starts 3.20pm at the MCG.

Juc boy wins world ‘grom’ championships Jan Juc’s Xavier Huxtable has won the 2018 GromSearch International Final in New Zealand ahead of 16 of the best young surfers in the world. Huxtable rode solid and powerful four-tosix-foot surf in Manu Bay in the final on Tuesday, ousting fellow Aussie Finn Hill 17.8 to 15.3. “I feel so good right now,” the thrilled teen said after being carried off the beach. Huxtable was one of the first Victorian male surfers to take out an international junior event, which made the win all the sweeter. “It means so much to me to win this event against such talented surfers from all over the world,” he said. But it wasn’t an easy road to the final. Huxtable had to post two massive scores to beat highly-talented American Cole Houshmand by three points in the semis. But he was up to the task, scoring his first and only 10-point ride for the competition, combined with a 9.25 for a near perfect heat score of 19.25. And he only just snuck through to the semis with a score of 17.85 in the quarter finals, coming second behind Brazilian Lucas Vicente. He was 1.1 ahead of Kiwi Caleb Cutmore on 15.65, which saw him through to the next round. Finn Hill accounted for Lucas Vicente in the other semi, setting up the all-Australian final. Meanwhile local grommets have dominated the youngest age group of the Victorian Junior Titles with Patrick Hughes and Ellie Harrison winning the under 14 championships. Barwon Heads’ Harrison took out the final round of the titles at Jan Jun with a 9.27 “wave of the day”. Harrison proved too good in the final ousting Jan Juc surfer Mia Huppatz with two highscoring rides in clean, metre-high swell on Sunday. Fellow Jan Juc surfers Cielle Bouvier and Emily Mcgettigan took third and fourth place. Scoring the best ride of the day put Harrison in the draw for a trip to Asia. In the under 14 boys Willis Droomer won ahead of Barwon Heads’ Jack Bassett, and Jan Juc’s Patrick Hughes and Malachi White. geelongindy.com.au

SUPER SURFER: Xavier Huxtable wins the 2018 Gromsearch International in New Zealand.

But Droomer’s win saw him fall just short of his Jan Juc compatriot Hughes, who won the overall championship. Barwon Heads’ Zeph Lamperd won the under 16s on the weekend ahead of fellow locals Bohdie Williams (Ocean Grove), Ethan Huxtable (Jan Juc) and Cody Major (Bellbrae). But the victory, which Lamperd took with a last gasp 8.17-point wave, was not enough to chase down series leader Codie Jeffrey (Newhaven).

“I’m stoked to take the win here at Jan Juc and get runner up in the state title,” Lamperd said. “Thanks to all the competitors who all surfed really well.” Jan Juc’s Jazz Wylie, Bella Wilson and Jackson Kay all came second on Sunday in the under-16 and under-18 girls and boys respectively. But they fell short in the race for series winner and runner up for their age groups.

Pinkies hot on bayfront ON THE BITE Adam Van der Lugt Corio Bay continued to fish well over the past week, with parts of the innerharbour offering cover from windy conditions. Anglers snagged some fantastic bags of pinkie snapper up to 2kg in what has been one of the best runs of these fish that we’ve seen in a long time. The Geelong waterfront remained a hot spot with schools of the fish responding well to soft plastics and pilchard baits. Silver trevally were also present in good numbers and were caught using similar techniques. The inner and outer-harbour was also host to big schools of Australian salmon that weren’t too hard to tempt. Casting metal lures into the visible schools of fish allowed anglers to hook up on quality fish. Anglers chasing a feed of flathead didn’t have to look further than the grammar school lagoon, which had fish to 55cm on offer. Stingaree Bay offered anglers some quality King George whiting up to 45cm. While using pippie as bait was the standout method, one angler reported catching around 10 whiting on soft plastics. Local surf beaches fished exceptionally for mulloway, gummy shark and even snapper to 5kg. Mulloway are always high on most anglers’ hit lists, with fish to 10kg caught on fresh squid bait and even live salmon last week. Casting baits into beach gutters an hour either side of a late night high tide was the most effective tactic, also accounting for gummies and snapper. Baits such as salmon and trevally fillet were very effective. Quality salmon were also caught along the coastline, right from Bancoora down to the rock platforms and beaches near Apollo bay. Casting metal lures on overcast days saw anglers beach fish to 60cm, while pilchard and bluebait also led to some success. On the freshwater scene, West Barwon Reservoir fired up with pan-size rainbow and brown trout for anglers casting lures like the trusty old pink Tassie Devil. Anglers using mudeye and scrubworms suspended under a bubble float also reported success. Stony Creek Reservoir produced redfin pushing 50cm. Metal spoons were still a favourite for making long casts to cover most of the lake from the bank, while baits such as yabbies and worms also took reddies. Wurdibuloc Reservoir rewarded early risers with solid trout at first light. Redfin were also present in great numbers and taken on lures, although the low water level required long casts with the preferable assistance of a tail wind.
