PROBLEMS plaguing the Geelong-based National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) are risking the lives of disabled people, a parliamentary committee has heard.

Vanda Fear told the committee her son Paul had been put “badly at risk”.

She said “argy-bargy” between Victoria’s health department and the NDIA, which administers the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), had “absolutely torn apart” his support package.

“We were told that if you had an existing ISP (individual support package) you would not be disadvantaged in any way by this scheme coming in,” Ms Fear told the committee.

“Not everybody has higher health needs as well as a disability, as our son has. The argy-bargy...between health and disability has put our son at risk so badly.”

Ms Fear said her son “had the best therapist in Geelong” but she was fighting to keep his therapy component under the NDIS. “We have been told that they do not fund it but we have been told neither does anybody else. We did not get it funded by anybody.

“We had to try everywhere and get it from DHS because there was nobody else in Victoria who could pay for it. But now we have been told that it is not going to be paid.”

Ms Fear said the cost of an independent therapy assessment had soared from $80 to $300 an hour under the NDIS. Continued page 5

Double Take COUGHS and colds ran rampant across Geelong this week as spring arrived in a flurry of rain, wind and fluctuating temperatures.

Bad pun of the week went to the wit who heard of the spluttering bug infecting brassy Geelong soul band Sweethearts.

“That’s what can happen with unprotected sax,” he observed.

Short-term Geelong mayor Keith Fagg was also infected, using his weekly newspaper column to announce he, too, had caught a nasty cold.

Keith feverishly imagined the virus “boogying” in his head, “complete with psychedelic lighting and mirror ball, each nose blow providing the dance track”.

Hopefully he never catches gastro.

COUNCIL colleagues Andy Richards and Darryn Lyons are pictured putting on their happiest faces to promote a new expo.

Despite some heated differences, especially on Mayor Lyons’ floating Christmas tree, the politically odd couple joined forces this week for the Smarter Living Expo at GPAC on Saturday.

City Hall said the event on green ideas for the home and beyond included a seminar on “climate reality” with “Al Goretrained leaders”.

Maybe the leaders are Crs Richards and Lyons, who togeth-

“WHEN I’m at home I get distracted by the TV and the fridge.”

So says Geelong’s Sam Armytage, co-anchor of TV’s Sunrise and soon-to-be author.

Sam’s just penned a book called Shine, which Hachette Australia plans to launch in December.

The book’s all about keeping goals in sight and feet on the ground in a world that’s competitive, glamorous and gruelling.

Sam credits niece Lucia as her inspiration.

“Seeing a new generation of women born and knowing what’s ahead of them made me weant to put pen to paper and share some of my experiences,” she says.

Leno’s spin for carbon wheels 1152483-EG36-14

By NOEL MURPHY

GEELONG’S high-tech carbon fibre wheel has won a major thumbs-up from US comic Jay Leno.

The broadcaster’s Youtube program, Jay Leno’s Garage, with millions of car enthusiast followers, gave a glowing endorsement to the Carbon Revolution onepiece wheel.

Featured on the program’s new product segment, the carbon fibre wheel received the full road test treatment on a Porsche, focussing on the wheel’s lightness

and stiffness and the extra grip it provides on the track.

Leno, host of NBC’s Tonight Show for 17 years, is also a motoring enthusiast who boasts a private collection of almost 900 vehicles.

The Carbon Revolution wheel meets the toughest manufacturing standards and is used in a range of high end cars such as Porsche, Audi, BMW and Lamborghini.

Carbon Revolution is building a manufacturing facility on Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus, next to Carbon Nexus, with which it will work closely

in the research, development and testing of carbon fibre.

When complete, the new facility will allow Carbon Revolution to move to mass production, increasing its annual output of lightweight, super-strong wheels from 4000 to 50,000, - with added potential for new wheel markets, in general automotive, truck and aircraft manufacturing.

The wheel was produced in partnership with Deakin. Carbon Revolution’s managing director, Dr Matt Dingle, is a former Deakin student and research academic.

Teen girl’s arm slashed in scuffle with burglar

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A BURGLAR with a knife slashed a 16-year-old Wallington girl’s forearm during an early-morning scuffle in her bedroom, according to Geelong police.

Detective Sergeant Brad Lancaster said the girl disturbed the male intruder in her Rhinds Rd home around 4.30am or 5am Wednesday.

Det Sgt Lancaster said the serious wound required surgery.

The offender fled after the girl screamed for her mother.

“We’ve been told by a witness that they observed a white Toyota Camry sedan parked in Rhinds Rd not far from this address around that time,” Det Sgt Lancaster said.

“We call upon either the owner of that car or any other witnesses who might be able to identify the car’s owner to contact police so we can establish whether its’ connected to the offence or not.”

Det Sgt Lancaster said the offender did not say anything during the confrontation.

“We’re quite concerned considering that it’s a young girl in her own house who’s received a significant injury. We’d like to speak to the person involved and establish what the motive for it was.”

Det Sgt Lancaster said the girl’s parents were in shock and concerned for their daughter.

The father was away from home during the incident.

Det Sgt Lancaster said the offender was described as aged between 20 and 30, tall and skinny. He wore

dark tracksuit pants and a hooded top.

Police are also seeking public help to identify a man after a burglary in Martin St, East Geelong.

Police released CCTV image of a man they want to interview over the burglary.

Police said anyone with information should phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Geelong Crime Investigation Unit on 5225 3166 or submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au.

In brief Jobs bounce GEELONG’S labour market will bounce back from recent job losses in manufacturing and retail within 18 months, according to new research.

Deakin University’s Geelong Labour Market Report said gains in the services sector, particularly health and education, would offset job cuts at Ford, Alcoa and Target’s head office.

Cove unveiled A $4 BILLION redevelopment of Moolap’s salt works proposes building 5000 homes and a light rail link to central Geelong over the next 20 years.

Ridley Corporation and Sanctuary Living unveiled plans for Nelson Cove this week, showing areas of canal-style and conventional housing developments as well as a marina, a shopping centre and parkland on the 500-hectare site.

Advertiser falling THE GEELONG Advertiser’s circulation has continued falling, according to Audit Bureau of Circulations’ June-quarter figures.

The bureau said the Advertiser’s average circulation for Monday to Saturday was down 9.2 per cent to 24,950 compared to the same quarter in 2013.

ACE: Beris Marshall has the advantage at historic Geelong Lawn Tennis Club.

126593 Picture: REG RYAN

Beris ready to serve as club’s first female president NEWTOWN’S Beris Marshall is an energetic, enthusiastic follower of fitness who squeezes three sets of tennis and a couple of gym sessions into each week.

She’s also a dedicated community contributor who’s worked with churches, gardens, art galleries, food, wine and sports groups.

But her latest post has broken new ground in one of Geelong’s oldest institutions: president of Geelong Lawn Tennis Club as the first female appointed to the position in the club’s 132-year history.

Mrs Marshall’s less concerned about breaking through the glass ceiling of such an esteemed body than boosting its membership, sponsorship and community ties while

ensuring the 930 members are happy.

“It’s about giving something back to the club,” Mrs Marshall told the Independent.

“I became a member of the general committee in 2000, taking over from Annie Parton, who nominated me to be a member. My role has been on the social committee for the GTLC and midweek ladies co-ordinator or convenor.”

FOR ALL FATHERS

20% Off All Pants,

Mrs Marshall said the support she had received since taking on the presidency was overwhelming.

“The members have given me all their support and offered to help with anything I need,” she said, left hand wielding a racquet in a fashion underscoring a steely determination to take on the new job.

Founded in 1882, the club is Australia’s oldest provincial tennis club.

Residents ‘railroaded’ on new servo

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN DRYSDALE residents claim City Hall officers “railroaded” them during a public planning panel hearing into a proposed service station development.

Drysdale Clifton Springs Community Association’s Neil McGuinness said community opinons were vetoed when the officers failed to follow proper meeting protocol.

Mr McGuinness said he successfully moved an amendment from the floor for a VicRoads assessment of the proposed service station’s Jetty Rd exit but City Hall officers had since rebuffed the request.

1151825-HM35-14

“They did not want to listen and actually did nothing in response to what we all said - we completely wasted our time.

“Neil’s point tried to address an important potential road hazard and should have been accepted but it didn’t appear in the permit approval information.”

City Hall planning manager Peter Bettess denied the panel agreed to the amendment.

Mr Bettess said council was unable to review the application because it had already approved the permit.

Residents could appeal to Victorian Civil and Administration Tribunal, he said.

Geelong ‘Drug Court’ mooted

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN

1300 732 302

Fellow Drysdale resident Bob Penfold backed his claim, saying Mr McGuinness clarified the VicRoads request several times at the hearing.

An officer coordinating the amendment discussion “finally agreed to Neil’s VicRoad’s assessment proposal”, Mr Penfold said.

“My big disappointment with the whole meeting was that there was no clear monitoring of this sort of important detail. I mentioned early in the meeting that some sort of minutes or record of the discussion should be taken but the reply was that it was not in council’s rules to do it.

GEELONG needs a “Drug Court”, according to a parliamentary inquiry into Victoria’s ice epidemic.

The inquiry’s sweeping recommendations included expanding Drug Court of Victoria (DCV) from Dandenong to include Geelong as well as Melbourne and Gippsland.

The court hears cases involving drug or alcohol-dependent defendants charged with committing offences under the influence of drugs or alcohol or to support a habit.

The court was a response to the “failure of traditional criminal justice measures to adequately address drug use and related offending”.

Drug courts have been established in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia. Over 2000 drug courts operate throughout all 50 states of the USA as well as in Canada, Ireland, Scotland and England.

The Drug Court focuses on rehabilitating offenders and reintegrating them into their communities.

The inquiry recommended extending DCV’s jurisdiction to hear cases for offences with penalties of up to five years’ imprisonment. The court’s jurisdiction presently covers penalties of up to two years’ jail.

The inquiry also recommended investigating “justice reinvest-

ment” and “therapeutic justice” as alternatives to jail.

“The premise is that scarce resources that would otherwise be invested in corrections infrastructure would be redirected to local communities from where the offenders originate and to which they will undoubtedly return,” the report said.

The Independent reported last month that community moves to combat the ice scourge in Geelong included a two-day forum to hammer out a strategy.

Ice, or methamphetamine, has been linked to rising rates of crime and violence. Ice-related ambulance calls increased 177 per cent in the past year. Geelong accounted for 20 per cent of calls outside metropolitan Melbourne.

Beer shift brewing for Geelong

By NOEL MURPHY HEALESVILLE’S loss could be Geelong’s gain as beer giant Lion considers relocating White Rabbit brewery to its Little Creatures complex at South Geelong.

Reports this week said Lion was investigating the economics of relocating its Healesville operations to the state-of-the-art plant at Geelong.

Lion spokesperson Elise Gare told the Mail newspaper group

White Rabbit on hop to Little Creatures plant the company was undertaking a review of White Rabbit but it was “business as usual” until a decision was made.

Ms Gare said Lion initiated the review because the Geelong site was already handling the company’s other craft beers.

The Geelong brewery had the potential to house all products

under one roof, she said.

“To ensure we remain a leading producer of craft beer it’s important we continually assess our brewing operations and our brand growth plans to ensure we are best set up for success now and in the future,” Ms Gare said.

“As such, we have decided to undertake a review of the White

Rabbit Healesville site to determine if this brewery or the new state-of-the-art Geelong brewery offers greater growth opportunities for the brand.”

Little Creatures’ $60 million South Geelong facility opened for business in historic Valley Mills along the Barwon River in December.

Little Creatures bought the site for $6.4 million in 2010 after considering several other options for its long-term east-coast headquarters.

The company runs two other boutique brewery/restaurants outlets in Victoria – the beleaguered Healesville site and another in Fitzroy.

According to the Mail reports, rumours are rife the Healesville brewery will be supplanted.

The Mail story said staff were frustrated at the thought of impending closure.

The brewery, like Little Creatures Geelong site, had been a community hub in the region.

“It is believed by many that the odds are stacked against the Healesville site,” the Mail reported.

Mum’s dementia inspires family to raise awareness NDIS ‘risks lives’ From page 1

DEMENTIA doesn’t have to be the “scary monster” many perceive it to be – and that’s from someone now in their seventh year of living with the illness.

Trudy Forbes admitted struggling at first with her 2007 diagnosis but said acceptance had allowed her to get on with life.

Trudy has Lewy Body disease, a relatively unknown but second most common form of dementia.

Trudy spoke out about her condition to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s Australia first Memory Jog in Victoria.

The organisation estimates greater Geelong has the highest prevalence of dementia in Victoria, with 3623 sufferers set to reach 11,593 by 2050.

Trudy said Lewy Body had less impact on memory than other forms of dementia but presented additional challenges.

“You get hallucinations and they seem very real. You can’t really tell the difference but, of course, there’s nothing there,” Trudy explained.

“I didn’t understand what was happening, I didn’t know this could happen. But acceptance is the key to dealing with it.

“Our plan has been decimated. We have a lot less supports now and it is costing a lot more.

“I do not understand it and I do not think it is viable to roll the scheme out like it is.”

The committee heard numerous other problems with the NDIS Barwon trial site.

Another parent attacked initial assurances of a smooth transition from state-based support plans to the NDIS. “Nothing could have been further from the truth,” the parent told the committee.

“Our lives were completely turned upside down and the stress for all of us has been enormous.”

The committee’s report identified a number of “challenges” facing the Barwon trial as well various criticisms from participants, their carers and serviceproviders.

“The committee notes that the challenges of the Barwon trial site relate mainly to the NDIA’s processes, its culture and its communication with stakeholders,” the report said.

The report made 17 recommendations for improvement of the NDIA. The report followed a series of stories in the Geelong Independent over recent months about widespread dissatisfaction with the NDIS. Clients and their carers complained to the Independent about losing support services under the scheme and expressed frustration with negotiating its red tape.

But two weeks ago NDIA chair Bruce Bonyhady claimed the NDIS trial had achieved a “very high” satisfaction rating.

RAISING AWARENESS: Trudy and Ross Forbes step out to promote Memory Jog with granddaughter Lila and daughter Lauren Kerr. 126636 Picture: REG RYAN “I’ve had some bad responses from people occasionally but now it’s water off a ducks back. I’d like people to realise what someone might be going through.”

Husband Ross said Trudy enjoyed a full life, with knitting, gardening and socialising her main pursuits.

“There are lots of strategies you

can use to normalise life as much as possible. Sometimes we don’t realise how much help is available,” he said.

Daughter Lauren Kerr, granddaughter Lila and other family members will take on the Memory Walk and Jog at Eastern Gardens on 14 September.

Their team, named The Mighty

Ducks after Trudy’s affectionate nickname, Ducky, has raised more than $1000 so far.

Event participants can choose between 2.4-kilometre or 7km walks or a 7km run.

$128m to shut smelter weather Under the

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN CLOSING Point Henry’s aluminium smelter cost joint owners Alcoa and Alumina $128 million, according to financial statements.

But Alumina Ltd reported that the accounting cost of the closure, which it owned 40/60 with Alcoa , was actually $267 million.

Alumina’s share of the closure cost was $51 million, which left the aluminium giant with a $50 million net after tax loss.

Alumina chief executive Peter Wasow said the company’s could still offset the closure costs if they could find a buyer for their Anglesea power station.

“On that front we do have interest in it. We do have a number of buyers going over the data,” Mr Wasow confirmed.

“Alumina Ltd’s net loss occurred due to significant charges incurred during the half, including costs associated with the closure of the Point Henry smelter.

“Excluding these charges, the company would have reported a net profit of $28.6 million.

“The joint venture maintained cost control and achieved ongoing net productivity gains against a backdrop of continued weakness in alumina pricing.”

Point Henry closed last month after the ageing smelter could no longer cope with weak aluminium prices and a strong Australian dollar.

An associated rolling mill will

also close by the end of the year.

The closures will cost 1000 jobs.

The Independent reported three weeks ago that four or five multinational companies had expressed keen interest in the site.

Proposals for the site included large-scale residential developments and golf courses as well as industrial uses.

The 575-hectare site is in the early stages of decommissioning.

Indy’s Tip Star off to Queensland after a ‘fluke’ win

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A BIT of family fun on a Sunday night has turned into a week-long Queensland holiday for two for the Independent’s winning tip star, Damian Rabbas.

Damian, who owns Cafe Lorae with wife Jo, won the Independent’s footy tipping competition with a score of 141, edging out Shell Club’s Karen Wood and Mayor Darryn Lyons, who tied for second with 139.

“We had a bit of fun as a family putting the weekly tips together, although I did have final say,” Damian laughed.

“The kids sometimes came up with some way-out tips, so I’d have to say we fluked it.”

Damian survived a season low point, scoring only four and three in rounds eight and nine, but didn’t look back after that.

“We were watching Karen and Darryn and often their tips would be the same as ours – that’s when it started getting serious.”

Damian is a St Kilda tragic but admitted a “soft spot” for the Cats.

Jo, the face of the cafe, said the win was a complete surprise.

“We’ve never won anything and we’ve never been on a holiday together without the kids,” she laughed.

“It might be a new experience for us.”

Storages at 84% MOST of the region received below-average rain in August.

Urban Geelong was the exception, recording around 50mm of rain, which represents 110 per cent of the normal amount.

Rain fell on 13 days, varying from 32.2mm at Avalon to over 60mm at Grovedale South.

Most of the Otways and Moorabool catchment areas received below-average rain but the region’s water storages still finished the month at 84 per cent of capacity.

August temperatures were also very close to normal.

The average minimums were 6C and the maximums were 14.9C, leading to a monthly mean equal to the most-recent 30-year average, 10.5C. Geelong’s lowest daily minimum was .7C on 3 August. The highest daily maximum was 22.4C on the last day of the month.

Other notable weather features for the month included three frosts in Geelong but an absence of severe storms.

A heavy thunderstorm, complete with much thunder and lightning, was recorded on 23 August, dumping 15mm of rain but without any reports of damage.

The month’s only strong wind gust was recorded on the first day of the month with a reading of 69km/h at Breakwater.

Snow fell in the Otways on 1 August, with Geelong receiving some ail and graupel as the temperature only rose to a maximum of 10.6C for the day.

Sally, Tara and Eddy are always consummate professionals. Working in a difficult environment like banking can be a challenge but they go beyond the call of duty daily for customers. They are always smiling and I appreciate their professionalism.

Just A Customer, Corio BOUQUETS to the staff at Ross McDonald Motors. I booked for a wheel rotation, which was completed in half an hour while I waited before my keys were returned with a smile. The outstanding service has never wavered over the many years I have been a client.

Grateful Customer, Belmont

BUCKETS to tradies with loud radios.

Do they consider that a mother with a newborn or someone seriously ill might be nearby? No, it’s mind over matter they don’t mind and no one else matters.

Bad For Business, Portarlington

to Paris!

BUCKETS to the owners of the large dog that fell off the back of a ute on Roberts Rd (Buckets & Bouquets, 29 August). They should be charged and locked up. Someone should do the same to them to see whether they like being dragged along the road.

Scott, South Geelong BUCKETS to selfish people who buy coffee and food from one café then go sit at the chairs and tables of another.

Not only do they leave their rubbish behind they didn’t even patronise the business. They take chairs from paying customers and become abusive when asked to leave.

Nola, North Geelong BOUQUETS to the kind, honest person who handed my wallet in at Geelong Police Station after it fell out of my pram. I’ve lived in Geelong for only a week, so I confidently give this city a big tick and wish good karma to its residents.

Sally Edge, Geelong West BUCKETS to the filthy pig who did an enormous poo beside a walking path through sand dunes at White’s Beach.

Your vile act only came to my attention when I discovered my dog licking it.

Hopefully your apparently limited supply of toilet paper left you in a smelly mess.

Disgusted, Torquay

RACV lists Geelong transport woe September only (or while stocks last) Terms and conditions apply.

39 Yarra Street, Geelong Ph 5224 1122 www.serenitygeelong.com.au

TOO FEW peak trains, unreliable driving time to Melbourne and traffic congestion on the Bellarine Peninsula are among Geelong’s worst transport problems, according to the RACV. Critical improvements include Geelong rail service standards and train frequency and upgrades to Geelong, North Shore and

Marshall railway stations, says the RACV’s Growing Pains in Regional Victoria report.

The RACV called also for duplication of Pioneer and Bacchus Marsh Rds and the Midland Hwy between Geelong and Ballarat.

Armstrong Creek and Ballarat also needed additional coach services.

RACV president Ross Herron urged members to call for transport system improvements before the state election in November.

“Over the coming decade our regional cities and towns are expected to host a growing share of the state population growth,” he said.

THERE’S no reason why a Yarra Street Pier, Simonds Stadium’s completion and Geelong Performing Arts Centre (GPAC) shouldn’t all gain funding (Geelong Independent, 22 August).

It’s just a matter of being honest about the funding order based on need for the greater community good and the allied return on tax and rate-payer monies.

From a layman’s perspective, the order’s clear cut.

Robert Bett, GPAC trust chairman, (Letters, 29 August) needs to be supported in the trust’s quest for a fast-tracked $140 million centre upgrade.

Mr Bett’s noted blending of lifestyle and liveability choices being influenced by music and the arts supports a bloody hard-earned local cultural journey.

When then-GPAC general manager Peter Nicholson in 1981 stepped up to the plate he implemented a long-term policy of growing the centre via engaging children, as he had experienced on the payroll at Adelaide Festival Theatre, which has sustained responsible governance patronage.

It was a tough slog for Mr Nicholson. I, for one, in spades and then some, let him down.

Geelong had inculcated into its fabric pervasive stay-at-home television, beer, footy, cricket, tennis, predictably ordinary counter meals, a continued fascination with takeaway debutantes and a one-sizefits-all, numbers-39-and-41-with-fried-rice weekend habit.

Over time and thanks to solid citizens, Ford, Blakistons, Shell and Alcoa, a cultural shift occurred and today those children, whom Mr Nicholson knew would kick-start a tough gig, bring their children to GPAC presentations.

Chairman Bett and visionary philanthropist Robert Costa share a rock-solid foundation in their call for shovel-ready funding.

Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Seeing red over ‘nappies’ I REFER to the picture on page three of last week’s Independent, of the Gateways Support Services opening with Wathaurong commumnity dancers.

I applaud the efforts of our indigenous citizens to keep alive their ancient history and customs but one thing that really irked me: those red nappies.

Where did they come from? To me they were but a symbol of the white man’s domination.

The dancers’ ancestors generally danced bare.

They might have had a possum or wallaby skin or

even a bunch of leaves if modesty was called for.

Please, Wathaurong and others, get rid of these bits of colourful bad taste.

I’m sure there is a more-traditional alternative.

Residents bypassed WE NOTED in the local media that Geelong Football Club received $5 million from State Government to finish planning for stages four and five of Simonds Stadium’s redevelopment.

Residents of central Geelong, including McKillop St, where we reside, have frequently been told that significant government funding is required to finance the establishment of a proposed southern bypass route to divert heavy trucks out of residential Ryrie and McKillop Sts. Has council had any similar success in obtaining that necessary funding?

If the answer is no, as we guess it will be, perhaps it should focus on that goal rather than concentrating on shifting heavy trucks from one residential street to another.

Duplicating delays WHEN will the Colac-Winchelsea road duplication be finished?

It has been over six years since it started. The minister said that it would be finished by Christmas.

They say delays have been caused by wet winters and hot summers. No one could predict that, could they? It seems to be another example of the Napthine Government’s do-nothing-or-if-you-have-todo-something-do-as-little-as-possible style of rule.

Dr Napthine and his local member have already been out in their hard hats and fluoro vests talking about the Winchelsea-Colac section even though they have already stated that it will not be started until the other section is finished, so it looks like at least 2025 before all their political promises are honoured.

One section of new carriageway was opened for a couple of days a few months ago then promptly closed, presumably awaiting a big pre-election publicity fest.

It all goes to prove the adage that you should always vote against your sitting member because it makes them scared, which makes them work.

Geelong’s Newest Entertainment Venue!

1152419-DJ36-14

TEEN star Reece Mastin is set to prowl Geelong on his Wolf in the Woods tour this month.

Mastin said he would be in town with a new band to play songs off his forthcoming second album.

The 19-year-old Australian won TV’s X-Factor in 2011 before his debut album hit number one on the ARIA chart with three singles in the top five.

Mastin told the Independent he was on a “new direction” with the new, as-yet-unnamed album.

“That’s why we set up the tour – it’s a preview and a glimpse of what’s to come.”

The new album was a departure from Mastin’s pop foundations, he said, featuring songs he wrote himself and “a lot more use of real instruments”.

“It’s definitely a lot more rock but it’s also more organic, which is what I’ve been trying to do over the last couple of years.

“It’s cool to do something a little bit different.”

Mastin was excited about performing the “new stuff”.

“The last tour had a lot of cool elements going on but this one’s a lot more stripped back. It’ll definitely be fun to see how far we can take it.

“It’s going to be an awesome night. There’s going to be some really cool musicians down there.

“I can’t wait to get out there and play.”

Mastin said he would also perform songs from his previous album.

“We have a new band, so it’s all going to be a little bit different but we’ll definitely be doing the older songs as well.”

Mastin wanted to “get the whole album definite” before choosing the title but said his song Wolf in the Woods song inspired the tour name.

“It’s a song I’ve been working on for a while and then it slowly turned into the tour name.”

Skunk at QMF AUSTRALIAN funk/rap band Skunkhour will re-emerge from the 1990s to play Queenscliff Music Festival (QMF), organisers have announced.

A promoter for the event said the band would play its “internationally lauded” debut album from 1992 “song by song”.

“Known for their energetic sets as well as the depth and diversity of their music, the band reforms for QMF to bring a classic back to life,” the promoter said.

Skunkhour attracted a following around Australia in the ‘90s

with songs like Home and Up to Our Necks In It. The band formed in 1991, disbanded 10 years later and reunited in 2009 for an Australian tour but has been quite since.

Skunkhour was among a collection of bands recently named in the festival’s “fourth line-up announcement”.

The other acts included The Little Stevies, Luluc, Stella Angelico, Skyscraper Stan and the Commission Flats, The Davidson Brothers and Archer.

The festival has previously announced acts including The

Church, Dan Sultan, The Delta Riggs, The Waifs, Xavier Rudd and Hiatus Kaiyote.

The festival will occupy Queenscliff foreshore parkland from 28 to 30 November.

The event has been staged annually for 17 years, initially with a blues and roots focus but diversifying in recent years to include a greater emphasis on rock and other genres.

The festival said its subscriber and early-bird tickets had sold out, with general release admission now on sale.

Film festival travelling back to city A TRAVELLING leg of Victoria’s premier film festival will return to Geelong next week after a six-year break.

Organisers said new State Government funding had allowed the “homecoming” of the regional program for Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF).

Geelong Performing Arts Centre would host the travelling program from 12 to 14 September, the organisers said.

The Geelong program would include five movies from the festival, with each screened once.

The organisers said Geelong patrons would be able to see Kill Me Three Times as it used the festival for its Australian premiere.

With Red Dog’s Kriv Stenders as director, the movie’s cast

1152148-CB36-14

IN FOR A KILL: A still from Kill Me Three Times, premiering in the travelling film festival. includes Australians Simon Pegg, Teresa Palmer, Luke Hemsworth and veteran actor Bryan Brown.

Presented by

The other films screening are Cut Snake, The Legend Maker, My Mistress and Paper Planes.

PROGRAM OF EVENTS MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR It is with great pleasure that I convey a warm welcome to all those attending and participating in this year’s Geelong Seniors’ Festival.

The theme of this year’s festival: ‘Taking Good Care of Yourself’ has been embraced by the event holders, who have provided a fantastic range of activities, entertainment and educational opportunities as part of a very comprehensive program.

The program offers a great mix of long-standing and highly popular events, with some new events as well. There is truly ‘something for everyone’ and I urge as many people as possible to get involved, get connected and explore what is on offer in your local communities. Perhaps even try something that you’ve never tried before.

Many of the events in the program are being staged by local clubs and interest groups who are keen to share their passions for these activities with potential new members. An added bonus is that many of the events are either free of charge or involve only a very minimal cost.

I extend my personal thanks to all the event holders, whose ongoing support and dedication have ensured that the Geelong Seniors’ Festival continues to be one of the biggest community celebrations for seniors in regional Victoria.

The Companion Card is welcome at all Geelong Seniors’ Festival events.

Le Thai Chef’s Mindy, PG, Sunny, Gong and Mod are looking forward to doting on local dads for Fathers Day.

Thai treats to tantalise dad

BUY ONE MEAL GET ONE FOR

HALF PRICE Purchase one main meal from our menu and receive a second meal of equal or lesser value for half price.

FATHERS Day will be celebrated all weekend at Bell Park’s Le Thai Chef restaurant where a special menu of dad treats has been crafted to celebrate the event.

“We thought we’d do something special for Fathers Day,” says owner Theo Avgoulis.

“We’ve come up with a really nice banquet for Fathers Day, which includes our favourite dishes, the most popular dishes.

“We want Fathers Day to be a special day to spoil dad with.

We’ve reduced the prices and we’re including a complementary drink as well.”

Le Thai Chef has staked a claim as one of Geelong’s best eateries in recent months.

Its traditional Thai dishes, along with regional influences and fusion nouveau recipes – in a swank new dining area – have been embraced by locals, workers, families and the corporate sector.

“We’ve enjoyed very good support since opening,” says Theo.

“People are travelling from Teesdale, Bannockburn, Ocean Grove, Werribee, Laverton, Torquay.

“Locals are getting to know us a bit better, too. They all feel very comfortable in our dining room and are coming back time and time again.

“So we’ve made a special weekend, allowing for the footy – because we know a lot of dads are busy – so people can come either Saturday or Sunday across the weekend to celebrate Fathers Day. “We’ve put extra crew, cooks and waitresses on. We’ve made that extra effort all for dad.”

$50 off joint pain consultation JOINT pain is most commonly experienced in the feet, toes, ankles and knees.

Symptoms can include aching, swelling and stiffness making standing and other activities painful.

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics podiatrist Dr David Kavanagh says the causes can be many.

“It can be the result of an injury or tissue degeneration but could also be a sign of arthritis, of which rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are the most common,” he explains.

“Osteoarthritis is caused by mechanical wear and tear of joints, so usually occurs in older people.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s own immune system attacks the joints and can affect people of all ages, including children.

“Therefore an accurate diagnosis and correct treatment is very important.”

The most qualified practitioner to diagnose and treat pain and injury associated with feet and legs is a podiatrist with expertise in musculoskeletal concerns. Foot & Leg Pain Clinics is one of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal podiatry practices.

Apart from thorough and accurate diagnostics and assessment, a musculoskletal podiatrist can provide advice and treatments including: specific exercises for strengthening and conditioning feet and legs; general exercise and nutritional advice to assist

UNWANTED facial and body hair can be a source of distress and constant battle for many people. Today, most women and men undertake some form of hair removal whether it’s waxing, shaving, tweezing or various technologies available in homes and salons.

Advances in technology have delivered safe, more-permanent solutions at affordable rates but often with large differences in their quality and effectiveness.

Anyone assessing hair-removal providers should first ensure they have a clean, reputable clinic.

The type of technology used is the next consideration. Medicalgrade lasers are proven to be safe and are far more effective than many other less-expensive technologies, so fewer treatments are required.

Customers should also clarify whether the clinic uses laser or non-laser IPL technologies.

Hair-removal therapists should have appropriate qualifications and training. Some people in the industry trained themselves online, which can be unsatisfactory.

Therapists should also be able to provide an estimate of the

THE acne years can be traumatic for teenagers but help is available with new drug-free treatments.

They provide an ideal alternative to over-the-counter treatments that can be harsh on the skin or have nasty side-effects.

Rationale’s Sebocyte is a multi-target acne therapy that focuses on controlling oil flow, calming inflammation and reducing acne-causing bacteria while delivering essential moisture and nutrients to the skin to ensure clarity.

Sebocyte counters the overproduction of sebum, an oily substance that clogs pores, which attracts bacteria and causes inflammation.

Sebocyte’s active ingredients

– niacinamide and lauric and salicylic acid – unclog pores, reduce inflammation and control acnecausing bacteria.

The multi-target range includes gentle Clear Cleansing Gel, ultra-lightweight sunscreen Superlight Lotion SPF 50+ and Soothing Hydragel.

Rationale is a top-selling medical-grade skin-care range available in Geelong at Australian Skin Face Body.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can also treat teenage and adult acne.

PDT shocks sebaceous glands that release sebum, minimising future acne breakouts.

PDT clears up severe acne, even cystic cases, while also

makes the skin surface look more even and healthy.

The number of treatments required depends on the individual.

With the right treatment, the potential for acne scarring is minimised.

Dermal clinician Rebecca Harrison says INFINI treatment of scar revision, including acne scars, is getting excellent results.

Relatively new to Australia, INFINI uses a combination of skin needling and fractional radio frequency to flatten acne scars for smoother skin.

Australian Skin Face Body is at 50 Western Beach Rd, Geelong, with ample parking at the rear, phone 5221 2238.

This is how decay starts in the pits and grooves and a cavity forms.

A dental sealant is a resin applied to the chewing surfaces of the teeth. The resin flows into the pits and grooves in the teeth.

The sealant forms a barrier, protecting enamel by sealing out food and plaque.

It takes only a few minutes to seal each tooth.

The chewing surfaces are cleaned to make it easier for sealant to stick to the tooth, then it’s applied to the chewing surface where it sticks or bonds to the tooth and hardens.

Sealants may last several years before they need to be replaced.

Over time sealants can become loose or worn, which decreases their protective values.

During regular visits dentists will check the sealants and reapply them if needed.

Though sealants are most often placed in children and teenagers, adults can sometimes benefit, too.

Prevention is always better than treatment. When teeth are treated with sealants they are less likely to get cavities.

Sealants can be applied quickly and painlessly.

These are the reasons why so many dentists recommend sealants for patients.

TEETH are covered with a sticky film of bacterial called plaque.

The bacteria change sugar into harmful acids that attack the hard layer on teeth called enamel.

Over time, these attacks may break down the enamel and cause tooth decay, or cavities.

Tooth decay often occurs on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth.

These surfaces have pits and grooves that trap plaque and bits of food. The pits and grooves are hard to keep clean because toothbrush bristles cannot reach into them.

• Free Brake inspections • All mechanical workshop repairs • Wide range of automotive parts • Vehicle safety checks & service

MOTORCYCLE Service Centre in Moolap is a family-owned-and-operated business situated less than five minutes from central Geelong.

Rob Jenner, a fully-qualified mechanic for 30 years, has extensive knowledge and practical experience across all makes and models from Japan, Europe, Britain and the USA. “I’ve owned and ridden everything from Hondas to Harleys and we’ve raced Ducatis, Yamahas, Aprilias – I’ve even turned an MV Agusta upsidedown a few times!”

Rob suffered a serious road-racing crash last year, temporarily closing his Motorcycle Service Centre for the first time in 15 years.

“That’s racing,” Rob explains laconically.

“It was pretty nasty but could have been far worse. The important thing is that I’m now pretty much 100 per cent recovered and again able to concentrate solely on our customers and their bikes.”

Motorcycle Service Centre is well-known for its personal service and customer satisfaction.

“I like to be able to discuss directly with the customer exactly what they want, especially on bigger jobs like serious repairs or high-performance modifications,” Rob explains. “There’s no confusion with a one-on-one discussion.”

With many years as a VicRoads Licenced Vehicle Tester, Rob is among the regions most experienced and respected mechanics.

“I like to think I’m reasonably fair as far as roadworthy inspections go but not a pushover,” he grins.

For all motorcycle needs including roadworthies, log-book service and general service and repair for all makes and models, Motorcycle Service Centre provides professional and personalised service.

Conveniently located and with private, secure parking at 336 Portarlington Rd, Moolap, Motorcycle Service centre’s business hours are 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and Saturday by prior appointment, phone 0488 247 077.

IndySport On the

bite

Chris Pitman

Spring in step of Geelong anglers A TASTE of spring weather greeted anglers’ success in salt and freshwater over the past week.

Mark Crowden made the most of a calm Saturday afternoon to chase squid off Indented Head.

Using size 2.5 jigs, he boated a bag of squid before anchoring up off Portarlington where he quickly caught a 7kg gummy shark on fresh eel.

Other anglers fishing out from St Leonards caught King George whiting to 40cm as well as squid on the grass beds in 4m to 5m.

Pinkie snapper were thick on the spoil grounds between Clifton Springs and further around to Alcoa Pier. Casting three-inch Gulp minnows allowed to sink to the bottom combined with a slow retrieve produced fish to 45cm.

Corio Bay hosted many boats in search of earlyseason snapper over the weekend. Anglers reported finding good-sized schools of fish on sounders but had trouble enticing them to bite.

Fishing World Geelong’s Michael Moore made a before-dawn start on Sunday chasing squid and whiting off Queenscliff. After finding suitable bottom he boated whiting to 40cm at anchor then caught a bag of average-size squid on the drift.

Paul Blackborrow searched for snapper in nearperfect conditions off the Surf Coast on Saturday morning, catching a 3kg fish on one of his favourite marks.

Light north winds made the beaches ideal for spinning for Australian salmon. Anglers caught fish from Bancoora right through to Lorne on 25g lures such as Gillies baitfish.

On the freshwater front, anglers fishing an ANSA comp at Lake Eildon achieved outstanding results.

Rainbow trout to 3.213kg were taken at the Eildon pondage while casting lures such as Strike Pro Bob N Spoons. Other anglers found brown trout to 2.351kg again on the Bob N Spoon.

Competitors on the main lake caught carp to 4.8kg, golden perch to 1.85kg and redfin to 600g.

Daune Tribe paddled out in near-perfect conditions early Saturday morning at Lake Purrumbete.

Fishing mudeye suspended under a float, he managed to subdue a well-conditioned brown trout of 2.3kg among the vast weed beds.

Just across the road at Lake Bullen Merri, anglers caught Chinook salmon while trolling Rapala F-9s in Spotted Dog and Rainbow Trout patterns. Keeping the lures down deep at 20m with the aid of a downrigger was essential, while thinly sliced pilchard fillet baits also worked.

Wurdee Boluc Reservoir continued producing chunky redfin to 45cm on Fish Arrow soft plastics.

The odd brown trout to 2kg was also taken as well as small new-release rainbow trout.

Trout season resumes in rivers and streams this weekend, with the small streams behind Lorne and Apollo Bay worth considering. Drifting worms and casting small Rapala F-5s or spinners should tempt some feisty brown trout.

Lake Toolondo has been exceptional for trout over the past two years but had suffered a severe algal bloom, which won’t improve with water levels dropping and the weather warming.

This weekend should be good for squid at Queenscliff or in its boat harbour for silver trevally and pinkie snapper. On the freshwater front, Lakes Purrumbete and Bullen Merri should remain consistent for trout and salmon, while local streams and rivers will be an option for trout.

FLAKED OUT: Mark Crowden with a fine gummy shark.

This weekend ‘nothing like’ last game, says Scott

Hawks face ‘real’ Cats

IT’S A quirk of human nature that equally affects sports teams: the desire for redemption, revenge or simply restoring dented pride.

It’s a quirk that works in Geelong’s favour this week after its loss to Hawthorn just two weeks ago.

But the stakes - a Friday night qualifying final in the fiercest modern rivalry in the league - are much higher and coach Chris Scott recognises that.

In fact, he’s counting on it.

Media and fans alike appeared a little nonplussed when Scott declared “mission accomplished” after the 23-point loss to the Hawks in a

game of two halves.

But Scott, while not completely eschewing the traditional one-weekat-a-time view, is making decisions with the bigger picture in mind, which was always winning a qualifying final to sail into a preliminary and winning a week off.

He took some time to explain his thinking a little more as the media attention on the blockbuster finals opener ramped up this week.

“You’d have to have your head completely in the sand to think that game (round 22) was the most important game of the season.

“I’m not saying it was match practice but I’m saying it had no re-

semblance to the game we’ll play on Friday night. I’m talking merely about the stakes.

“I’d like to think we’ll play better and both teams will make some slight adjustments, so there’ll be some nuance there.

“But I think the bigger issue, especially when you’re talking about seasoned players who’ve played on the big stage before, you have to do a very good job of convincing them that the game was as important as the one we’re going to play on Friday night.”

Scott’s bottom line: “Our good footy works against them”.

Skipper Joel Selwood hinted at similar thinking among the players.

“There’s a great feeling within the playing group, we’ve worked hard all year to get into the position we have,” he said.

“We’ve given ourselves a double chance but hopefully we don’t have to use that.

“It’s a young group that went through the finals series last year, which was great experience for them.

“But we also had the heartbreak of the prelim final and lessons learned.”

Those lessons are being put into practice now even though they don’t necessarily fit the accepted approaches to finals.

Taking the finals road less travelled has paid off for the Cats before.

Geelong hosts Victorian victory in badminton titles

VICTORIA has successfully defended its national badminton title at the first Clendinnen Shield teams competition hosted in Geelong.

Victoria 1 defeated South Australia 8-5 despite losing the first two matches.

Badminton Geelong event organiser Craig Booley said it was a great effort from Victoria 1 to peg back an up-tempo South Australia.

Victoria 2 also improved, grabbing fourth behind New South Wales after its last place finish last year.

“The event has gone smoothly and the standard of play has been excellent. The depth in the lead Victorian team has shone through,” Booley said.

The Australian Closed Championships began on Wednesday, with local hope Jacob Scheuler among the competitors.

Individual competition finishes Saturday, with finals beginning midday at Norlane’s Leisure Centre.

The finals will also be streamed live on mysportlive.com with commentary from former Australian international Booley.

Richmond ends streak, Warriors chase redemption

By JOSIP ZILIC NORTH Geelong Warriors will seek to pick itself up after a 0-2 loss to Richmond last weekend and regain momentum for a top-two finish in National Premier League.

The Warriors will have their chance against an inconsistent Moreland away on Sunday.

Moreland had a 2-0 win against Bendigo in last week’s catch-up round.

Moreland can be frustrating to play, tending to score lightly but keeping its defence in check, which could trouble the Warriors’ attack.

North Geelong’s loss on the weekend ended an 11-game unbeaten streak and wiped away a chance to build a buffer on second place.

The Warriors were unable to make their early presence in front of goal count, with three clear chances going begging in the opening minutes.

The game seesawed with frenetic pace as the half drew to a close.

Richmond seized the opportunity with the last kick of the half when Hamlet Armenian pounced on

Early in the second half Richmond was more resolute and first to the ball, making the Warriors midfield work hard in the rare warm weather.

With the wind in Richmond’s sails, Cahill managed another cutback pass at the 61st minute, finding Peter Sawan to drill home on the near post.

Soon after North Geelong playmaker Vito Cichello was substituted as he struggled with illness, with coach Micky Colina giving Stipe Trbuhovic a chance to get into the mix.

The Warriors provided a grandstand finish, picking themselves to string chances together and wrestle control of the game.

However, the efforts didn’t trouble the scoreboard.

Colina was pragmatic in defeat.

“We need to use this loss as motivation to wake us up, as they say. We live and learn and hopefully it will make us stronger for it.”

Richmond coach Rick Mensink gave a glowing assessment of his players.

“We were very confident (although) we’ve had some luck go against us in recent weeks.

“The players made a decision to not let it get to us and we got our reward.”

SPECIALIST 4X4 CENTRE

A new specialist four-wheel drive service centre by enthusiasts for enthusiasts has opened its doors in East Geelong. The Eastern Park 4x4 Service Centre fills a void in the area with its conveniently located, fully renovated, large workshop and showroom area.

Market research demonstrated the need for the specialist Eastern Park 4x4 Service Centre offering sound mechanical advice. Manager Tim Hutchinson is a 4x4 enthusiast himself, so he understands the passion four-wheel drive owners bring to their pastime and their vehicles.

Tim and his fellow technician Brandon Smith are both fully qualified and know four wheel drive vehicles from top to bottom. As a four wheel driver himself, Tim does a lot of trips and knows how to set up vehicle for long trips to remote locations.

Tim says the service centre aims to give drivers the confidence to rely on their vehicle for big trips and towing caravans, including offering a pre-trip check. He says 80 per cent of wear and tear is underneath the vehicle, requiring an extensive hoisted inspection, plus servicing of all the extra 4x4 equipment. Eastern Park 4x4 Service Centre also service any make and model of passenger car as well. The newest addition to Geelong’s four wheel drive community is at 508 Ryrie St, East Geelong, opposite Try Boys basketball stadium, phone 5221 0252.
