New campaign to promote retailers A NEW community campaign aims to reinvigorate Geelong’s retail sector while encouraging excellence in service standards.

Shop Local Geelong will tell shoppers why they should support the city’s retailers while awarding and recognising them for outstanding customer service.

The Independent and City of Greater Geelong have joined forces to launch the campaign, covering all the municipality.

Independent managing editor Tony Galpin said Shop Local Geelong aimed to help retailers deal with the dual challenge of online competition and a generally flat economic cycle.

“It’s no secret many traders are finding business conditions tough at the moment. We thought it was the right time for a campaign telling shoppers about the advantages of dealing with their local retailers,” Mr Galpin said.

“It’s all about face-to-face customer service, after-sales support, value and supporting the local businesses creating a vibrant retail sector in Geelong.

“The retail sector is our largest employer, too, so Shop Local Geelong is also about jobs.”

Mr Galpin said the campaign would feature a monthly Independent Shop Local Customer Service Award.

“As well as recognition with a story and picture in the Independent, the winner will receive a $1000 advertising package combing the region’s highest circulating newspaper and its EasyFinder business directory.

“While the award will be welcome acknowledgement for any

Picture: Tommy Ritchie 87383 retailer, it will also encourage a culture of service excellence in greater Geelong.

“Keep reading the Independent in subsequent weeks to find out how to nominate businesses and

to read why everyone should shop local.”

Mr Galpin said participation in Shop Local Geelong was free for retailers, with the City and the Independent providing marketing,

advertising and editorial support.

Retailers wanting more information should contact the Independent.

“Let everyone know you’re committed to service excellence

with Shop Local Geelong,” Mr Galpin said.

Shop Local Geelong is also backed by the city’s chamber of commerce and its Geelong Retail Network.

Battle for mayor heats up

BY NOEL MURPHY GEELONG’S mayoral contest has drawn first blood with John Mitchell and challenger Frank Rozpara clashing over the public’s right to question council during meetings.

Voices were raised when Mayor Mitchell was confronted

by Mr Rozpara with a demand for greater public input to debate in the council chamber.

According to deputy mayor Cameron Granger, Cr Mitchell developed “a bit of a head of steam out of frustration” as he tried to explain public gallery protocol.

“John was fired up... he tried to make his point but he had to repeat it several times and he got rather direct,” Cr Granger said.

Cr Mitchell defended his actions, shrugging off any suggestion it was untoward.

“He wanted to ask questions during debate and I said that’s not the way it’s run, if you get elected and want to change it, that’s entirely up to you and the new council,” Cr Mitchell said.

Mr Rozpara said he wasn’t perturbed by the exchange but maintained the public had inadequate access to question council about issues before decisions were taken.

The final ballot for the $170,000-a-year mayor’s job drew nine candidates: Cr Mitchell and Mr Rozpara, the Socialist Alliance’s Sue Bull, Geelong Football Club’s Ron Watt, publicist Stephanie Asher, businessman Keith Fagg, Geelong Chamber of Commerce boss Bernadette Uzelac, retiree Graeme Robin and an unknown candidate, John Smith.

Cr Mitchell and Mr Fagg are widely seen as the frontrunners but much depends on how candidate preferences are apportioned.

Cr Mitchell said he hoped everyone in the race was “running to win”.

Oldest festival sails into calm waters REGIONAL Victoria’s oldest sporting event, the Festival of Sails, has secured a three-year funding deal from state government.

Minister for Sport and Recreation, Hugh Delahunty said the funding aimed to ensure the “continued prosperity and success” of the event.

“The Festival of Sails has now grown into one of the largest sailing regattas in the Southern Hemisphere,” Mr Delahnty said.

“Aside from being a wonderful event to watch, the Festival of Sails has positioned itself as a key element of Geelong’s Australia Day celebrations, attracting around 100,000 spectators each year.”

The Festival of Sails regatta runs from January 24 to 28, with 28 separate race series and more than 130 individual races over five days.

The regatta attracts more than 4500 participants from Australia and overseas, and is complemented by a community festival, incorporating Australia Day celebrations.

Power up for bayside foodbank

BY NOEL MURPHY CORIO Bay’s dangerous abandoned power station at North Geelong could be transformed into an all-purpose food bank, homeless shelter and training centre.

Instead, it stands neglected and disused, an unsecured mess of broken glass and twisted metal, graffiti, dangerous pit holes and unprotected high platforms.

It’s been raised as a possible host for heritage exhibitions in the past but, like other projects for the degraded bay, fallen off the radar.

Now, as Geelong’s north tries to reinvent itself, it could be utilised as a critical, integrated community centre, according to community activist Ferg Hamilton.

Mr Hamilton has pitched the idea at local MPs but like other ideas he’s raised for Geelong’s ailing north, such as a Corio

OUR BAYFRONT ‘BOMBSITES’ CLEAN UP THE WATERFRONT Bay heritage trail, it’s not winning much traction.

“It’s an area that would suit the requirements of a central food receiving, storage, preparation and distribution area,’’ Mr Hamilton said.

“It’s somewhere secure and easily accessible to people and transport; maybe also a small emergency accommodation area plus somewhere for training facilities.

“There are no doubt industries and others in our area who could be persuaded to donate surplus food and unsold stock to this one centralised area.”

Mr Hamilton suggested canteens at major employers, food shops, supermarkets and others could be recruited to assist such

a centre.

A centralised food bank could save on distribution, staff, refrigeration, rent, lighting and waste costs.

The old power station is just one of many degraded and abandoned sites around Corio Bay that have prompted calls for a new authority to resurrect the so-called jewel in the crown of Geelong.

Polluted, toxic, rubbish-strewn, and neglected sites can be found right round the bay from asbestos at North Geelong to extensive tracts of shattered shotgun targets and vandalised heritage sites at Eastern Park.

Geelong mayoral candidates, along with MPs, a former conservation minister, coastal authorities, environmentalists and community activists have called for action on the Corio Bay crisis.

BY NOEL MURPHY A MELBOURNE Cup field has emerged of new, old and recycled candidates for Geelong’s upcoming council election.

Fifty candidates are vying for 12 ward seats in addition to the nine pitching for the $170,000 a year job as Geelong mayor.

Familiar faces in the fray include former councillors Margrette Lewis, Anthony Aitken, Tom O’Connor and Tony Ansett, plus former state and federal candidates such as Liberal Angelo Kakouros and Greens convenor Bruce Lindsay.

Business and conservative interests have a strong presence but a telling change in the hopefuls is their green complexion.

Mr Lindsay is joined by Gavin Brown, Renee Otmar, Sue Perron, Judy Baldacchino, Carlo Missio, George Trimble and Tom Bennett but the environmental ticket is not entirely a united one.

In Austin ward, Mr Brown is standing against John Doull, the controversial Coryule ward councillor who famously filed a copied report after attending the Copenhagen climate change summit on the ratepayer payroll.

psychosis and serious physical effects closely linked to ice.

“There’s a lot of it around, it’s much more dangerous than everything else and there’s not much treatment,’’ Lara GP Mark Davie told the Independent.

“Talking to lots of GPs, most have regular patients saying they’ve got problems with ice addiction.

“Psychiatric services are also seeing an awful lot of people whose brains are scrambled by it. It does terrible things.’’

Geelong police detectives, speaking on condition of

anonymity, backed Dr Davie’s comments, telling the Independent ice use across the region is dramatically widespread.

“It’s rife, out of control,’’ one detective said.

Dr Davie, who has worked with heroin addicts for more than a decade through Barwon Health’s Drug and Alcohol Service, said ice use across Geelong was “as big a problem as we’ve had with anything, including heroin’’.

“There’s much more of it and many more people using it,’’ he said.

“The number of ordinary

people presenting in general practice, that’s what’s so scary.

“It tends to be younger people, mostly people in their 20s, saying ‘I’m having trouble with ice, I can’t stop it, I can’t sleep’. They need help getting off it.’’

Dr Davie said ice addiction was not restricted to obviously troubled users. Often addicts were holding down jobs, used the drug for an energy kick but then found themselves addicted and spending all their money on the drug.

“Not all users have scrambled brains,’’ he said. “But that

is the very real risk.’’

Geelong’s ice epidemic has been highlighted by multiple raids in recent months on illegal drug laboratories across the region from Lara and North Shore through Grovedale to Leopold and St Leonards.

Police have uncovered millions of dollars of drugs, numerous charges have been laid in relation to the raids, a huge cache of firearms has been seized with a special unit set up by police in a bid to to fight the drug scourge.

The highly-addictive speed drug is already posing a greater health risk than the heroin crises of the past as it rapidly moves into the mainstream.

Young adults appear the chief victims, with many presenting to their GPs anxious they can’t quit the drug and fearful of succumbing to the

100% LEATHER

BY MICHELLE HERBISON A CONTINGENT of three Borough of Queenscliffe council candidates is aiming for an election sweep to restore “good governance”.

Queenscliffe Lonsdale Business and Tourism Association chairman Graham Christie, Searoad Ferries employee Peter Russell and disability advocate Greg Jones are united in their view that the current council lacked governance.

Mr Jones said the trio shared a passion for transparency without any “hidden agenda”.

“There hasn’t been much transparency with the last four years and this mayor. If we

don’t get in, council will be dominated by the mayor and his preferencing again,” he said.

“We’re going to listen to everybody. You can only judge the quality of council by how well it communicates with constituents.

“They held 30 per cent of their meetings in-camera.”

Mr Russell said respect for community and standards of accountability had “dropped off” resulting in staff bullying, chief executive officer Lenny Jenner instituting a lockout of councillors, and a code of conduct panel for Cr David Mitchell.

Mr Christie said the current council team was “never a five”

Moorabool council after “refusing to sign” a code of conduct.

“His understanding of governance and transparency is not correct. One would hope if any of them are elected they would behave in a manner consistent with the requirements of being a councillor and that doesn’t include lying.”

Mr Merriman said councillors lying could result in code of conduct panels.

Candidate and current councillor Helene Butler said good governance was one of council’s main priorities.

“The current council has had some issues but we still worked together as a team,” she said.

Vision Australia’s Patti Baldini said the garden would allow the vision-impaired an “enjoyable experience” catering to all the senses.

“It will have vegetables for sense of taste, a sandpit for the kids and sculptures that are tactile. We will encourage people to touch and feel them,” she said.

“Sensory gardens allow families to experience an environment that is safe, pleasurable, creative, stimulating, adventurous and spontaneous.”

The garden will include a network of paths weaving around established Moonah trees and a combination of native indigenous plants donated by Barwon Water Community Nursery.

“Plants donated include native mint for smell and taste and vanilla lily which is scented,” Ms Baldini said.

About 30 volunteer Ford employees will travel from Melbourne to build the garden.

Ms Macklin said the federal government will invest more than $190 million in the Barwon region for the launch.

“We want local people with a disability to start benefiting from an NDIS as soon as possible,” Ms Macklin said.

“We’ve shown we’re prepared to do the heavy lifting by investing $1 billion to deliver the first stage of an NDIS in five locations from next year, including right here in Geelong.”

Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Carers, Jan McLucas, said work was well underway to get the launch up and running next year.

“Agency staff will be on the ground in Geelong and other launch sites well in advance of the start of the launch,” she said.

The NDIS will benefit around about 5000 people with significant and permanent disability in the Barwon area from July 2013.

“We have hundreds of students who travel from Torquay and its surrounds every day to come to our school.”

Mr Riddle said the College had no plans to develop residential dwellings on its site.

“We’re talking about building a school, not something Torquay doesn’t need.”

Speak Up for Spring Creek spokesman David Bell “hoped” the new elected council would “reject (the plan) as it doesn’t reflect the local community’s view”.

Mr Bell criticised state planning policy calling it “a system that appears to favour those with money rather than a straight-forward, transparent and open process”.

“More weight must be given to local council planning policy that reflects local communities rather than a one-size-fits-all planning,” he said.

“If successful, this will allow for the development of the school on the property,” the letter read.

It noted the college’s plans to develop a Torquay campus on a Spring Creek site, bought in March 2007, had become “overly protracted” due to “recent planning policy by the Surf Coast Shire”.

Battling silent killer

BY MICHELLE HERBISON WHEN Nicholas Bottrell was asked to meet with his wife’s doctor he feared the worst.

Various tests for Mary’s bloating, backache and shortness of breath revealed a lingering lethal disease – she had ovarian cancer.

“Once you’re diagnosed with ovarian cancer, it’s too late to be cured. They can only prolong life to a certain extent,” Mr Bottrell said.

Mary died 23 months later at 73.

Ovarian cancer is six times more lethal than breast cancer with 75 per cent of women diagnosed dying within five years, according to the Women’s Cancer Foundation.

Currently no government funding is available for research.

Mr Bottrell said a hysterectomy, several weeks of chemotherapy and fluid-tapping at Melbourne and Geelong hospitals left Mary “on tenterhooks”.

“She couldn’t walk or anything. My daughter Andrea took long service leave to look after her at home.

“Believe me, when you get on that rollercoaster, it’s heartbreaking to see your loved ones go down.

“We’re only a small family and our best friend is gone. It’s very lonely.”

Mr Bottrell is now fundraising and working to increase awareness of this “silent killer”.

The Bottrells have initiated an ovarian cancer fundraiser on Wednesday, October 3 between 6 and 8pm at The Wool Exchange Entertainment Complex, 44 Corio St, Geelong.

Geelong bowser brawls break out bid to rip off motorists and querying whether discounts were driving prices higher on supermarket shelves.

The RACV advised motorists to monitor petrol prices closely as the rise-fall cycle had changed dramatically in recent months.

The weekly cycle that saw prices low on Tuesdays and rising again on Thursday changed to cycles of eight, nine and 10 day last year, and then this year to 12 and 13, RACV chief engineer (vehicles) Michael Case said.

“But we’ve had some extreme cycles among that,

including in May-June one of about six weeks, more recently it’s become a very erratic cycle,’’ he said.

“There is still a low point and a high point in each cycle, the difficulty is working out when it’s going to happen.

“Motorists need to be more opportunistic and our advice is to fill up while the price is dropping before you miss out.

Combined with discount vouchers there can be significant savings filling a tank on an average family vehicle.’’

Mr Case said RACV research suggest price rises were not

deliberately linked to school holidays, long weekends or other holiday periods.

The ACCC said it was assessing whether competition issues arose from the size of the shopper docket discounts and the frequency and duration of these offers made by Coles and Woolworths.

“The ACCC is working with fuel retailers, including independents, to gather information to assist with assessing supermarket shopper docket discounts,’’ spokesman Duncan Harrod said.

Racer doubles sister act target

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN TORQUAY’S Jacinta O’Neill clocked the Surf Coast Century race in just 11 hours, but she was more excited to double her original fundraising target for cancer research.

Ms O’Neill was “stunned” to raise more than $4000 in aid of the McGrath Foundation for completing the grueling trail run.

She ran the 100km race in Anglesea last Sunday to show support for her sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer six months ago.

The Independent reported last month that Ms O’Neill considered the run “nothing compared to the battle” her sister endured.

Ms O’Neill said seeing her family smile as she completed the course nearly five hours under her goal time was the “greatest reward”.

Ms O’Neill is accepting donations through gofundraise.com.au until it closes on Saturday.

Local art heart still beats strong Join the club JOHN VAN KLAVEREN

PEDIGREE

THE SHEARERS Arm sounds more like a tavern than an art gallery, but there’s no doubting the significance of the landmark Geelong West building.

The building, dating back to 1847, was acquired by the Geelong Art Society in 1987 and is now its base.

It contains a large purpose built studio, four gallery display rooms, a well-equipped office and a kitchen.

As the oldest surviving building in Geelong West, it is slowly being renovated, following guidance from the Heritage Society.

But old buildings cost money, as society past-president Alan Langdon knows.

“The renovation relies on grants which are not easy to acquire,” Alan admitted.

“We are slowly modernising the place, making it a bit cheerier and happier, more of a fun place than in days gone by.”

In the meantime, the society gets on with its program of courses, exhibitions, workshops and community support.

Alan said the venerable old society, formed in 1947, was focussed on modernising and remaining contemporary.

“We have artists involved in

For arts sake: Tony Bramwell and Lisa Kelly in the Shearers Arms studio.

Picture: Tommy Ritchie sculptures, three-dimensional art, botanical art, wood turning, ceramics, and we ran a corporate day for clothing designers.

“It’s a matter of bringing it up to the 21st century. We’ve gone through quite a transition in the last 10 years,” Alan explained.

He said traditional fine arts were still a key part of the society, but it had to go contemporary to be more appealing to younger people.

“We have around 450 students a year, including children, attending courses, plus we have an ever increasing number of workshops,” Alan said.

He said the space was often used by community groups for meetings and activities.

The society also hosts free exhibitions for groups like the Mouth and Foot Painters and the MS Society.

“If we support the community,

in lots of ways it gives us a better chance to get grants as a community centre,” Alan said.

“But most importantly we in turn receive support and community awareness.”

The next major activity is a three-week VCE art exhibition with all regional secondary schools invited to participate.

“It is a properly judged and run exhibition giving our young artists an experience they would not get otherwise,” Alan said.

“They are the artists of the future, so we want to encourage them to keep going. Our many professional artist members are happy to share their experience.”

History repeats in centre project

BY NOEL MURPHY IT’S NOTHING new to find history repeating itself but as Geelong tries to refashion itself for the future the familiarity of some pet projects is surprising.

Take the $1 billion Laurence Elms convention centre project targeted for Eastern Park’s Hearne Parade. Nothing new there.

Down the recent past we’ve heard of casino plans and other residential projects off Eastern

City endorses $45 million library Geelong. It will arguably be our city’s most iconic building that will draw people in.”

The City will be running community info sessions on the new Geelong Library and Heritage Centre in October and November, giving the public the chance to talk to the architects, ask questions and give feedback.

Library operations will be relocated to a temporary site early

has revealed that in October 1956, the Geelong Chamber of Commerce started the push for a convention hotel exactly where the latest Elms project, is proposed to be sited.

The intervening years have failed to elicit any such convention centre. Funny that.

Odd, too, that the notion of putting the idea to the public has evaporated down the years.

Sometimes history doesn’t repeat itself.

Bring The

Concept: Artist’s impression of the library and heritage centre in Johnstone Park.

THIS is the City’s dramatic new design for its $45 million library and heritage centre in Johnstone Park.

Councillors endorsed the five storey design this week, set to be submitted to community consultation.

Mayor John Mitchell said the design would put Geelong on the map.

“It’s something different for

Beach, some of them barely more than scribbled concept plans.

Mayor John Mitchell has advised the Independent he has a drawer-full of plans for the precinct.

But who would have thought the specific notion of a convention centre specifically for Hearne Parade goes back at least 55 years?

That’s right, more than half a century, back to before the Melbourne Olympics.

An Independent investigation

next year. The City is currently investigating suitable nearby sites.

Works are expected to start mid 2013 and be completed by late 2015.

The redevelopment is being funded by the City of Greater Geelong ($20 million), the State Government ($15 million) and the Federal Government ($10 million).

Counting calories and weighing food puts all the focus in your life around your next meal.

This very focus is the reason why most people have such a battle with their nutrition. Doing battle with food will ensure that the struggle goes on, with a lot of us having to give in.

Having food weigh us down mentally will leave nothing left for what really matters when it comes to getting fit.

Those that we label as “naturally skinny” are often just people who are not focused on food, and see it only as a source of fuel.

Choosing natural food without additives will see you never overeat.

Make the choice to do this, and your battle will be over, leaving you empowered, and focusing on what is really going to make a difference to your life.

“The person elected must be strong enough to resist being programmed by the bureaucrats who, if the councillor has no local government experience, will set the agenda,” Mr Robinson said.

“And that magic word ‘trans-

parency’- there is nothing further from the truth when decisions are sorted out behind closed doors called ‘briefings’. Ratepayers feel shut out with such happening inhouse.”

Mr Robinson called on the new mayor to listen to the people of Geelong, not just the “top end of town’’.

MS BERNADETTE Uzelac has a very odd understanding of being an independent candidate if she thinks being a member of a political party, in her case the Liberal Party, but not backed by the party makes her a true independent in any sense.

My understanding of true independence is: Not a member of a political party and not backed by a political party. Her kind of independence is the very reason why so many of us believe that local government is no place for party politics. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get involved in party politics when your interest turns to the state or federal sphere.

I WRITE as a rallying call to the good citizens of the Borough of Queenscliff in the run-up to the 2012 council elections.

Do not be fooled by the glib words in the glossy pamphlets that have been appearing lately in your letter boxes.

Talk is cheap but the candidates behind this expensive exercise, if elected, would see a wrecking ball through our beloved twin towns with their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no development is a bad developmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mantra.

Considerations of the impacts on the environment, heritage and the community would be ignored.

It is easy to see where they get their guidance: None other than the Victorian Planning Minister, Matthew Guy, who is on a crusade to deregulate state planning laws and free up development everywhere.

Green wedges are open for business. Residential areas rezoned for light industrial, opening up the state to virtually any type of development.

Is this what we want at a local level? Unfettered development?

Sounds ominous to me.

They talk in platitudes about being inclusive and working for the common good, yet even a cursory glance at what they write in local newspapers and how they behave towards those with whom they disagree would suggest a certain contempt for residents who see things differently.

Let us hope they do not get control and that we can elect a more balanced and representative council on October 27 that can work for all the diverse interests in our community, and not just the business/development/tourism lobby.

Rob Wallis Pt Lonsdale

I HAVE at last weaned myself off from watching our Federal Parliament, in particular the House of Representatives.

Peter Slipper was not good as a Speaker but he was far better in the chair than the current one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Anna Burke. Constant talk, a barrage of noise from both sides and constant attempts at belittling the opposition leader seems to be the order of the day, with nil questions answered.

The Speaker is ignored when she tries to bring government ministers back to the question and sadly political bias has become routine in the running of question time.

It is sad to see our parliament go down such an impolite track: Impolite to us, the Australian people who pay them to govern us competently and to set standards that should enable us to face the world.

Mr Swan continues to call Joe Hockey Sloppy Joe. And he is not stopped.

Enough is enough.

Grow up and attempt to govern this wide, brown land competently.

Bob Dare Portarlington

Keep fighting I AM CONCERNED that a degree of â&#x20AC;&#x153;defeatismâ&#x20AC;? is creeping into media commentary on our involvement in the international mission against terrorism in Afghanistan.

Apart from the fact that such commentary may be viewed as insulting to those who place their lives on the line every day in that country, at the direction of successive Australian governments.

It also gives hope and succour to the terrorists concerned.

The Taliban and their supporters will rejoice in reports that members of ISAF are showing signs of wanting to give up the fight because victory has been so elusive.

It will reinvigorate them.

And it quite possibly may well mean that after 2014, we may have to fight the scourge of terrorism on our own shores.

It is, I believe, in our national interest to continue to wage â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;total warâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; against those who seek to export their unacceptable beliefs and prejudices to cultures and countries beyond their own borders.

SHOPPING CENTRE

523926-KS26-11

Miss Country Girl comes to Geelong he Miss Country Girl Australia road show comes to Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre next month, giving every country girl the opportunity to be discovered.

Established in 2009, Miss Country Girl Australia enables rural and regionally based girls aged 8 to 28 to compete for the title of Miss Country Girl Australia.

The competition enables them to connect with entertainment industry professionals, secure a modelling contract with one of Australia’s top modelling agencies and win a range of other prizes.

Hundreds of contestants will participate in the regional workshops and preliminary regional finals across Australia, culminating in the prestigious national final to be held in Sydney later this year.

Miss Country Girl Junior champion is open to eight to 12 year old girls while 13 to 28 year old girls will compete for a place in the national final and title of Miss Country Girl Australia 2012.

Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre proudly presents the southern Victorian regional heats and final.

A flurry of fresh young faces will model on a purpose built catwalk with heat one scheduled for Saturday October 27 at 11am and heat two at 1pm.

The regional final is on Sunday, October 28 at 12 noon.

Contestants can enter online at misscountrygirlaustralia.com.au.

Miss Country Girl Australia founder Katie Jones said she understood what it was like growing up as a country girl, struggling to enter the modelling or entertainment industry.

“So we decided to create an event that takes the competition to them,” said Katie.

“We see young girls participating in the competition to build their confidence through the catwalk and deportment classes.

“This is a fun and friendly competition with no experience needed.

“We are so excited to be scouting the Geelong, Bellarine and Surf Coast region for new talent and we cannot wait to meet all of the local girls.

“The event is an ideal platform for young, local, fresh faced talent to pursue their dreams.

“We thoroughly look forward to presenting this annual event at Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre and who knows - Australia’s next superstar could be you,” said Katie.

TZU dwells in the zone

BY CHERIE DONNELLAN HIP HOP band TZU wanted to produce more prolific music than singing about “being in the club”, frontman Pip Norman joked.

The band’s latest album Millions of Moments features stories loosely based around Australia’s “dark past”, Norman said.

“I nerded out reading colonial Australian history.”

Norman, known to fans as Countbounce, declared the country’s “convoluted and dark past” was inspirational when penning the songs.

“We’ve just released our new single Beautiful which is a ghost story.

“It gave us a chance to write something with more gristle,” Norman asserted.

“I don’t really spend much time in clubs,” he laughed.

Norman joked that in the 10 years TZU have been on the hip hop scene the band were notorious for “doing weird s**t”.

“We’re a little bit off-centre and we always break the rules.”

He admitted the band’s fanbase often changed because every album was very different despite remaining in the same genre.

“I think we feel pressure to do something that’s actually going to be reliable,” Norman laughed.

“When you do something different, people

are going to talk about how different it is, not how much they like it.”

Norman said TZU were excited to perform at Queenscliff Music Festival for the first time.

“I’ve never been before, even as a punter.”

But playing at music festivals was something TZU had a wealth of experience in, Norman told the Independent.

“When you play at a festival you definitely have to be prepared,” he asserted.

“You’ve got to tailor-make the set and do quick changes and play snappy songs.”

Norman admitted it was sometimes easier to play a festival than a live gig.

“Everyone’s already charged and in the zone (at festivals) so you can just come in and blast it.”

Daoist Lao Tzu was the band’s namesake, with the members deciding Tzu’s principles about the “flow of life, nature and energy” matched the nature of “music making”.

“Rapping and hip hop sounded like Tzu’s ideas so it became our name. It just seemed natural,” Norman said.

He joked his stage name Countbounce made him “part comic superhero and part normal guy from Northcote”.

“I was DJing at a friend’s party and he wanted a name. We came up with a bunch of ridiculous names and this one stuck.

“But, hey, it’s cool. It’s like ‘I’m Countbounce’,” he said in a mellowed tone.

Whose who: TZU brings a dark history to Geelong.

Training to lose lub Exec’s Chrissie Ferrer started training at the gym as a client – at 125 kilograms. Less than two years later, Chrissie is now 64 kilograms and will complete an Australian Institute of Personal Training qualification to join gym owner Robyn Reimers as a personal trainer.

Chrissie attributes her success to Robyn taking the time to educate and train her.

“Robyn helped me learn that wholesome nutrition, exercise and persistence are the keys to success.”

Robyn describes Chrissie as a “strong trainer” whose empathy for her clients drives her success as a trainer.

“She knows what it was like to be overweight. She knows how to get the best results from personal experience.”

The gym’s trainers teach their clients to live cleanly through diet and exercise. Club Exec helps people in becoming a personal trainer to complete the accredited AIPT course.

“Even if you don’t want to be a trainer, the course will still teach you skills about getting fit and eating well.”

Skills by Diversitat eading training provider Diversitat Training offers skill bases within a range of industries.

Heather Cooke recently gained employment in the aged care industry after successfully completing Diversitat Training’s Certificate III in Aged Care combined with Certificate III in Home and Community Care course.

She says the six-month course assisted her to make a beneficial career change.

“I retired from my sales job a few years ago to become my mother’s full-time carer as she suffered from osteoarthritis and dementia,” Heather says.

“I also cared for my father, but after they both passed I wanted to return to work.”

Heather enrolled in the course in February this year after realising she wanted to formalise the skills she had acquired caring for her parents full-time.

Diversitat Training’s course facilitators taught informative, hands-on classes, she says.

Heather completed work placement with Domain aged care facility as part of her course and was later offered a position.

“I couldn’t have achieved that without Diversitat Training.”

Socialise at Barwarre

WHAT IS QUALITY HEARING CARE?

eople are naturally social beings, and being with others is an important part of life - and of healthy ageing.

It is now widely recognized that social interaction can improve wellbeing and overall longevity.

It increases daily activities, the chance of recovering from injury, cancer survival and heighten feelings of self-worth.

Sociability also lowers the risk of disability, improves memory retention and maintains motor skills, providing relief from stressful life events.

Other benefits include improved general immune function, mental alertness and independence.

If we are socially well, we will find ourselves in harmony with the people around us.

We will have better relationships with family, with neighbours, with the passer-by on the street.

One of the huge benefits of living at Barwarre Gardens Retirement Village is the social interaction it provides.

Whether it is participating in the activities within the village, meeting socially for a cuppa or just the sheer awareness of knowing you are surrounded by others, it creates wellness.

veryone needs to manage their ageing bodies as they grow older. Understanding acquired shortcomings and investigating available options allows proactive management of ageing.

Fiona Sutherland, of Waurn Ponds Hearing Clinic, can provide the right advice about when to consider a hearing test and what the results may reveal.

“If you regularly notice problems hearing in daily activities, this is a sign that you need to have your hearing checked,” Fiona says.

“Most hearing tests don’t result in the person even needing hearing aids yet. Education and counselling to deal with the hearing levels you have will often allow you to hear without hearing aids for many years.

“However, if you have ignored the signs of hearing loss then you have often already started to avoid social situations which you once enjoyed. And if you are afraid of ending up with some huge hearing aid that everyone can see, then you will be surprised at how small, discrete and easy to use they are now.”

Hearing test costs are fully covered for eligible pensioners and veterans, with rebates available from most private health insurers.

If you think you may have a hearing loss, organise a hearing test TODAY!

Fiona Sutherland and Elizabeth Rogers at Waurn Ponds Hearing Clinic.

Fiona advises against having just a simple “screening” appointment.

“Have an actual test with a qualified audiologist so all your needs are considered.

“If hearing aids are suggested, most providers will allow you to trial aids for a few weeks. Clients who understand the benefits of hearing aids for themselves become motivated and regular users as part of their full and active lifestyle.”

MAP out your superannuation M Volunteering can be as simple as sharing a cuppa.

Karingal volunteers make a difference olunteering is a great retirement pastime – and there are many reasons why people volunteer with Karingal.

“I’ve been lucky in life and I decided to volunteer because I wanted to give something back,” one of Karingal’s staunch volunteers says.

“I get a lot more out of volunteering than I give,” another volunteer insists. “Seeing people I work with blossom and have fun - it’s the best reward.”

Another saw a Karingal advertisement asking for volunteers interested in going to the theatre and out for dinner.

“I thought to myself: ‘I already do all that, so why not volunteer?’ ” Many different people volunteer at Karingal - men and women, retired people and students - all keen to share their skills or wanting to learn new ones.

All Karingal volunteers share the experience of being part of a fun team doing something worth-

V

while.

At Karingal, volunteers work alongside qualified staff to provide individual attention so people with a disability can have more choice when it comes to the activities they undertake and achieve the goals they have set for themselves.

It only takes a commitment of two hours a week and volunteers can make such a difference.

Karingal volunteers are matched with activities that suit their interests, skills and availability, including outdoor recreation, bowling, craft, work skills, relaxation, cooking and classroom support.

If you like to keep active and engaged in the community but are not sure about where to start, register for Karingal’s information session and free morning tea on October 15 from 10am to 11am.

For more information and to register attendance, contact Karingal Volunteer coordinator Judy Simkin on 52496134.

MAP Wealth now has access to a platform solution that can match most of the benefits of a SMSF without having to take on the legal responsibilities.

Plus it can be an extremely cost effective way to invest superannuation funds.

This allows your superannuation to invest in direct equities, including property trusts, and enables you to have online access to the daily performance of your fund.

This platform makes it easier to flexibly implement tax advantaged strategies such as Transition to Retirement pension, structuring from age 55, and Centrelink maximising restructuring at 64/65.

any people now have or are considering a self managed super fund.

While a SMSF can give people greater control and flexibility, they also involve responsibilities including potential legal and financial pitfalls.

Flash: The new Holden Barina Spark offers outstanding value for money.

A bright spark

BY ERIC BLAIR ith its combination of cute styling, features, bright colours and a starting price of just $12,490 Holden’s newly-released Barina Spark five-door hatch should be a sure-fire winner with the Generation Y female market First up, and of vital importance in this market segment, it looks the part with a neat, compact exterior dominated by a large, bold grille flanked by long ‘teardrop’ headlights.

The new mini Holden is sold internationally as the Chevrolet Spark, however Holden chose to use the name Barina Spark to cash in on that long-serving nameplate.

At first glance Barina Spark has the sporty look of a three-door hot hatch but a closer look reveals that the rear door handles are cleverly disguised at the top rear of the door – a feature pioneered several years ago by Alfa Romeo.

W

Silver and red models come with the added feature of colour-coded door and dashboard appliqués.

Power for the Barina Spark comes from a 1.2-litre petrol engine that generates 59 kilowatts at 6400 rpm and 107 Nm at 4800 rpm.

Here’s a $13,000 five-door hatch with a funky styling that will appeal to her and her friends (gets a tick from her); lots of techo stiff (another tick from her); it’s got six airbags, ABS brakes and stability control (a big tick from you); and it doesn’t go particularly fast (another tick from you).

Fuel consumption is rated at 5.6 litres per 100 kilometres with CO2 emissions of 128 grams per kilometre.

The car has yet to sit for its local ANCAP safety test, but when tested in Europe it received a four-star rating. That car didn’t have ESC so Holden is quietly confident that the Australian model will receive the maximum five stars.

sport Choppy seas fire up big snapper

Swans fly in with the flag SOUTH Barwon continued its run as Geelong Football League’s best side with a comprehensive 51 point victory over Bell Park in last Saturday’s grand final at Simonds Stadium.

The victory gives the Swans the enviable record of winning seven premierships in the last 12 seasons.

On a glorious day for football and in front of a crowd of 7000 the Swans led at every change.

Bell Park tried valiantly in the first half and had plenty of the ball but battled when going forward.

Tiredness was also a factor with three finals in a row taking its toll on the Dragons. After leading by 16 points at half time the Swans powered away with the game.

St.Josephs turned around a 25 point quarter time deficit to go on to beat Newtown by 12 points in the reserves.

St.Marys proved that it was the best colt’s side by holding off a determined St.Josephs to take the flag by 18 points.

South Barwon netballers also had a successful weekend with it’s A grade side beating Leopold by

Local Footy FRANK MASON 16 goals. This side is even more dominating that it’s footballing counterparts as this makes it eight premierships from 10 consecutive grand final appearances.

Bell Park won B grade, Leopold took out C grade and St.Marys had the better of South Barwon to win D grade.

Any footballers and coaches out there who are looking for a warmer place to play footy next year should think about the Queensland’s Sunshine Coast based side, the Maroochydore Roos, who are looking for a coach and players for next season. Contact the club via email at coach@maroochyroos.com.

Fired up: Steve Flower with a typical snapper caught off Barwon Heads.

BRIAN LONG CONDITIONS the past week have been perfect for snapper anglers with choppy seas firing the snapper right up.

Simon D’Antino and mate Steve Flower found the snapper in 40 metres of water off Barwon Heads. The boys had to rely on a sounder to find the fish but once located quality specimens were boated in trying seas.

There were similar reports by many anglers, with fish to better than 5kg being taken.

Norm Jones fished at Black Rock for three nice snapper, all around the 1.5kg mark and taken on squid baits close to dark.

This area fishes exceptionally well over the summer months be it mainly for pinky snapper.

While few anglers troll for snapper, those that do have been covering plenty of water, making a number of quality captures.

Jason Bath landed the best fish I know of this week at 6.4kg, taken on a Rapala Tail Dancer.

The fish took nearly 30 minutes to subdue on his 10lb braid.

Garry Baltimore also found success trolling on Sunday, using an Atomic Shad.

His best fish weighed 3.8kg and was one of six fish for the day.

The key to trolling for snapper is to use light braid lines, generally 10 to 15lb with deep diving bibbed lures.

The most successful lures

with trollers finding either Lake Purrumbete or Bullen Merri ideal.

Flat lining with Tassie devils has worked but the better captures came to those trolling deep diving bibbed lures such as Double Clutches and Cherry Bloods.

Bait anglers using mudeye also saw a few nice fish.

With the water level high, Wurdee Boluc Reservoir remains a good option close to home, most fish taken on lure with a deep running bibbed lure almost a necessity.

Bait anglers need to stick to either mudeye or worm fished under a float.

A reminder to all of the rainbow trout that were liberated into Seagull Lake in North Geelong and St Augstines Lake in Highton, just prior to the school holidays so that junior anglers have a great opportunity of catching a fish right here in the city.

This weekend there are a number of great locations to consider when looking for a fish: Surf anglers should look to either Fairhaven or Eastern View because tides are perfect in the afternoon providing the water remains clean.

Freshwater I would consider Lake Bullen Merri, using Powerbait fished from shore on a running rig. Expect to catch a few rainbows of around 1 kg.

The annual Lake Bullen Merri fishing classic will be held on October 6 and 7, always a well run event. Further information is available at www.camperdownanglingclub.org.au.

On the bite

have been Dr Evils, Sebile Koolie Minnows, Tail Dancers and Atomic Shads.

Anyone with a downrigger can fish the deeper water for snapper, with the likes of St Leonards and Portarlington ideal locations.

Soft plastics anglers found snapper on the Hermsley spoil grounds and while most fish are under 50cm reasonable numbers have made for enjoyable fishing.

Snapper have been taken from the Corio Bay inner harbour, directly out from the silos piers with fish to more than 6kg.

Those confined to shore found the North Shore Rocks productive.

Geelong waterfront saw small snapper, with most activity occurring late evening and after dark.

As the bays settled and cleaned after the heavy blows a few weeks ago, anglers found squid have come right back on the bite.

Edwards Point to St Leonards has been best, but Clifton Springs is starting to also see consistent bag limit captures.

Small natural coloured jigs are proving the best option.

Many found whiting to be patchy this week as bag limit captures were a rarity.

Surf anglers found the water still quite milky but the salmon have certainly showed up again in numbers.

Brendan Sheedy fished the beach at Fairhaven on the high tide. Using lure he had no trouble catching and releasing in excess of 20 fish.

I fished a number of locations either side of Lorne but Cinema Point proved to be best, here again more than 20 fish were caught and released on the afternoon high tide last weekend.

Freshwater options are aplenty
