Police horrified as local kids flaunt drug use

Off their Facebook

By PAUL MILLAR

POLICE are investigating a graphic Geelong Facebook account filled with vile images of local teenagers using drugs.

The site details local drug culture, with several of the featured teenagers known to Geelong police.

Visitors to the page have identified some of the alleged drug users, one a boy aged 14.

Spaced out teenagers, looking into the distance, smoking bongs, vomiting or holding deal bags, litter the sordid page.

Victoria Police said it would ask Facebook to remove the page after it was revealed by the Independent.

A spokeswoman said Victoria Police would assess the posts.

State Youth Affairs Minister Jenny Mikakos was also alerted to the page.

“The Andrews Labor Government does not condone the use of illegal and dangerous drugs or any attempt to glorify or celebrate their use,” she said.

Geelong councillor Eddy Kontelj was shocked at the images and wondered whether some of the youths pictured were aware they featured on the page.

“It’s extremely sad and irresponsible for anybody to set up a site like this,” said the councillor for Cowie ward, where some of the images were taken.

“It’s a sad blight on society and whoever set up the site needs to be dealt with.”

BUSTED: Images from the Facebook page glorifying drug use and possession.

Double Take

We love all things Google.

Where would we be without them?

Altavista (lulz)? Ask Jeeves (I don’t think so)?

Bing?!... Well, in this article I want to talk about one of their projects that, by now, almost everyone should have heard of. It’s the driverless car program and Google is spearheading the cause.

Like they have done with so many other projects, like Google Maps and Street View, Google wants to once again change the way we drive forever! But there is one major problem with the driverless car system (and this isn’t really much of a surprise); everyone else on the road.

WHAT do you give a man who has everything?

A laugh! Well, that was the rationale behind the Indy’s spoof front-page present for Mayor Darryn Lyons, who’s been down in the dumps since fiancÊ Elissa Friday left to care for her ill mother in England.

The page (pictured) played on his rumoured plot to run for the federal seat of Corio, declaring his victory with an actual picture of him apparently offering a hug to vanquished incumbent Richard Marles.

The gift certainly cheered up Cr Lyons when he eventually unwrapped his presents a week after his 50th bash. “Hahahahaha,� he tweeted above an image of the page, “just opened this pres and laughed ... Funny.�

And so much cheaper than a new Lamborghini!

CR LYONS is far from the first to receive a ‘dummy’ front page as a gift, which is somewhat of a tradition in the newspaper industry.

Even Indy managing editor Tony Galpin has been on the receiving end, once unwrapping a framed front page suggesting he committed indecent acts with another species.

Let’s just say it’s still occupying a very dark corner of his walk-in wardrobe.

WHAT’S with the local popularity of ABC Kids show Giggle and Hoot, among a certain audience segment at least?

Geelong Coast Kids Facebook page this week ran a giveaway of family passes to the show’s stage production at GPAC, fielding a staggering 1300 entries.

Some posts suggested the real attraction might be the show’s bubbly star, Jimmy Rees, who looks to have a particularly strong following among adoring local mums.

The show might be Giggle and Hoot but the subtext seems to be slap and tickle.

ANTI-ARMY activists have revealed a new strategy in their fight against Swan Island’s military base.

They’ve booked a round of golf.

Yes, Swan Island Peace Convergence will host a tournament on the island’s course after five years of hassling its soldiers.

The group acknowledged its annual protests had hurt the threadbare revenue of the island’s struggling golf club. “So we have decided this year we’d like to make a deliberate contribution to their income, as well as an opportunity to get to know us as people rather than just a problem,� the group said.

Expect some camouflaged hecklers at the inaugural Swan Island Peace Classic on 24 September.

‘False documents’ link after city motel raided

By PAUL MILLAR TWO MEN faced Geelong Magistrates Court yesterday on a multitude of charges related to a police raid on an Aberdeen St motel.

Lee McElroy, 34, of Melton, was charged with possessing implements designed or adapted for the production of false documents.

He was also charged with obtaining property by deception, possessing

and using a drug of dependence and dealing with the proceeds of crime.

The heavily tattooed Mr McElroy, who sat between two guards, did not apply for and was refused bail.

He was remanded to face the same court next Wednesday.

The court heard that Mr McElroy needed medication because he had a bipolar disorder and had an acquired brain injury.

He answered “no worries” when

Magistrate Ron Saines asked whether he understood that he would be remanded until at least next week when an application for bail might be heard.

Keegan Longstaff, of Grovedale, was the other man arrested in the raid at the Aberdeen Motor Inn. Mr Longstaff was charged with similar offences including a firearm charge.

The 26-year-old was remanded until the same date as Mr McElroy, with

both men expected to make bail applications at their next hearing.

Two women were also arrested during the raid on the motel.

They were charged with drug and property offences.

Both women were bailed to appear in court at a date to be set.

The raid was part of an ongoing police investigation involving fraudulent identity certificates.

In brief Abuse hearings SURVIVORS of sex abuse at Geelong’s most-prestigious private school have told their stories to a royal commission.

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse at Geelong Grammar conducted hearings this week, with lawyers warning the school could face further compensation payouts depending on new evidence.

Building up ALMOST $1.3 billion in building permits were approved in City of Greater Geelong in 2014/2015, up 24 per cent on the previous financial year.

Victorian Building Authority said the surge ranked Geelong second in the state for the value of building permits, with Melbourne first on $3.3 billion.

Peninsula sprayed MOSQUITO larvae face aerial bombardment on the Bellarine Peninsula as Geelong’s council begins a spraying program.

Council environment portfolio-holder Andy Richards said a helicopter contractor would begin spraying today as part of the annual program targeting “infestations” on the peninsula.

Airshow windfall VICTORIA reaped a $146 million financial boost from February’s Avalon international airshow, according to organisers.

They said a National Institute of Economic and Industry Research report broke down Geelong’s benefit from the show to $22 million and 258 equivalent full-time jobs.

By EMILY IANNELLO GEELONG’S Kirrily Haywood is one of many young Australians living with a disability in a nursing home.

She simply has nowhere else to go.

Her powerful story is one of 22 in The Summer Foundation’s upcoming Home to Home Digital Story Exhibition.

Kirrily and the exhibition’s other storytellers developed scripts, narrated voiceovers and collated images and footage to produce insightful videos depicting their experiences.

“My story outlines my journey and

what my hopes are for the future,” Kirrily said.

Her journey into aged care began in 2012 after she developed a severe pressure sore.

After hospitalisation and time in a transitional care facility, she now resides at Grovedale’s Alan David Lodge.

“I was only meant to be here for three months. I’ve been here three years now.”

“Picture a young person living in a nursing home; you’re living with people three or four times your age, which is confronting. You’re witness-

ing death and dying on a regular basis.

“The staff here are fantastic but they’re trained to deal with aged care, not young people.”

Describing her predicament as depressing and disempowering, Kirrily was adamant the problem of young people in aged care was worsening.

The community must advocate for change, she said.

The Summer Foundation chief Dr Di Winkler said that exhibition was an important opportunity for people like Kirrily to tell their stories.

“This is a group of marginalised,

largely forgotten people and these exhibitions are a chance to recognise and remember why policy needs to be changed to ensure there is an appropriate range of housing and support options available,” Dr Winkler said.

Kirrily encouraged people to attend the exhibition to learn about about the issue.

“I hope it appeals to their emotional sense of self to participate and help create a change.”

The exhibition will be open 9am to 6pm from Tuesday to 15 September at Deakin University’s Waterfront Campus.

BRAVE FACES: The last shift at Alcoa's Anglesea power station this week.

Picture: ALAN BARBER

80 lose jobs as site turned off

1197652-KK36-15

MORE than 80 workers lost their jobs when Alcoa officially closed its Anglesea coal mine and power station this week.

Power station manager Warren Sharp paid tribute to the employees at “a very sad time for them and their families”.

“For 46 years this has been a very well-run and well-maintained facility,” Mr Sharp said.

“Its success as a reliable power generator is the culmination of the hard work and determination of every employee, every contractor, every supplier, every partner, and every community member who has supported us and advocated for us over that journey.

“I certainly could not be more proud of the contribution our employees have made to our company and to the Anglesea community. I’m especially proud of the way they have safely gone about their work over the past three months, despite it being a very challenging time for them and their families.”

The Anglesea facility became redundant after Alcoa closed its Pt Henry aluminium processing operations and was unable to find a buyer for the power station. Local activists had campaigned for the closure, claiming the coalfired station was a health risk.

State Energy and Resources Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the loss of the jobs would be “strongly felt”.

The workers and their families would be “front of mind” during “this time of transition”, she said.

Alcoa said its asset planning and management group took over the site on Tuesday for decommissioning and rehabilitation, which could cost up to $63 million.

A work plan detailing the clean-up process is available on Alcoa’s website.

Environment Victoria has called the plan “encouraging”.

Cats boss praises ‘leadership’, says city to reap benefits

Stadium deal to save millions GEELONG’S council will save millions of dollars after staring down a State Government demand to fund its takeover of Simonds Stadium.

Council voted this week against paying a Government-appointed trust $1.5 million a year to manage and maintain the stadium.

The Government rejected a similar decision last week when council refused to fund the trust or to provide $6 million for the sta-

Brian Cook

dium’s stage four redevelopment before the end of 2017/2018.

The Government and the Cats warned the delayed payment could prevent work starting on the $89 million project.

But council accompanied this week’s trust-funding rejection with a compromise to instead pay the $6 million when stage four was complete, breaking the standoff.

Mayor Darryn Lyons said coun-

cil developed the new arrangement “in partnership” with the Cats and the Government.

Council would fund its $6 million contribution with savings from relinquishing operations of the stadium to the trust, he said.

“Those savings will equate to an average of $1.5 million over each and every coming year.

“The City’s contribution to this development will ensure that our

community can benefit from the development for years to come.”

The Cats welcomed the deal but the Government has yet to formally announce its acceptance. A council source expected the Government give its blessing soon.

“This is a significant and positive decision by the council that will bring a significant economic and social benefit to the region,“ said Cats chief Brian Cook.

“The councillors have shown great leadership in working to ensure that this redevelopment can go ahead without delay. It’s an exciting day for the club and for the city.”

The project also has $75 million from the Government and $4 million each from the Cats and the AFL. Stage four will increase the stadium’s capacity to 36,000 patrons and redevelop various internal facilities.

Sudden Impact as Ward at tipping point of victory Fast-track call to hatch farm plan

A $4 MILLION free-range egg farm could become the first tenant of a new intensive farming precinct to deliver hundreds of jobs on Geelong’s doorsteps.

But State Government must first fast-track power and gas supplies to the 4000-hectare precinct at Lethbridge, MP Simon Ramsay told state parliament this week.

“At the moment the precinct has neither, which is restricting its potential growth,” he said.

“I have also raised with the minister the need for uniform and suitable buffer zones that will not inhibit development but at the same time give nearby residents and business some protection from intensive farming operations.”

Mr Ramsay said the proposed egg farm needed a two-kilometre buffer, which would restrict operations in the precinct given its size.

But Inverleigh had a 500m buffer zone for poultry production in precincts less than 4000sqm, he said.

“I have asked the minister to meet with me and the Golden Plains Shire council to discuss how we might overcome some of these issues.”

The Independent has previously reported the precinct could create 800 jobs and inject $500 million into the regional economy annually.

A SPIKE in methane leaks from a former tip site in South Geelong has authorities to form a monitoring group including emergency services.

Council city services general manager William Tieppo said public safety was the “number one priority” for managing the leak in a new light-industrial estate off Barwon Tce. Mr Tieppo said the monitoring group included CFA, police, WorkSafe and EPA representatives.

An abnormally low-pressure weather system passing over Geelong seemed to have forced more gas out of the site than usual, he said.

IT’S a big weekend for Geelong businessman Mark Ward.

The Amazing Mill Markets operator is showcasing a new company and could win a Queensland holiday in the Independent’s Tip-Stars competition.

Mr Ward bought Decor Impact after buying a three-metre tall gorilla figurine from the store’s previous owner a month ago.

“I loved the gorilla that much that I bought the whole business,” he laughed.

Mr Ward extended the animal angle to Decor Impacts’ new transport vehicles, which he covered in eye-catching zebra stripes.

Each of his three Amazing Mill Markets would feature a showroom full of Decor Impact’s lifesized animals, plants and props for special events, he said.

“We’ve got several containers arriving in the near future - they’re full of products which have never been seen before in Australia.”

Mr Ward is battling it out in Tip-Stars with Harvey Norman’s Chris Goodhand.

Mr Ward held the lead for much of the season until Mr Goodhand overtook him last month to lead by a point. Mr Ward fought back last week to tie with Mr Goodhand on 142 points each.

The pair have tipped different outcomes in three matches this weekend, the final tipping round of the season. Mr Ward has tipped Adelaide, Richmond and Greater Western Sydney to win, while Mr Goodhand went for Geelong, North Melbourne and Melbourne in the corresponding matches.

The results will determine the winner unless each tipper gets only one right and the third match is a draw, in which case Mr Ward wins on a countback of the most nine-point weeks.

“It’s a nervous wait - Chris and I have been head-to-head all year,“ he said.

“Being the final round, it’s a difficult one - it really depends on how serious the teams are going to be during the final round.

“There’s nothing like a good challenge.”

IT WAS no revolution, more a prolonged push for a resolution as union diehards took to the streets this week, continuing decades of campaigning for equal pay rates for women.

As union rallies go, it was low key, with supporters gathering at Trades Hall and then taking their lobby to the streets as part of Equal Pay Day. They have been doing so for more than a decade, with Suzie Iskra saying the unionists would continue the march as it was the right thing to do.

An Arbitration Commission decision in 1972 declared that

women on federal awards were entitled to the same pay as men for equivalent work.

However, Ms Iskra said over a lifetime the average Australian woman earned about $1 million less than her male counterpart.

Ms Iskra said the pay gap was still 17.5 per cent in 2013, so even though more women were now finishing secondary education, enrolling at university and in professional jobs than men, female graduate salaries were just 90.9 per cent of the pay for male graduates.

In post-graduate jobs female salaries were 85 per cent of male post-graduates, she said.

Ms Iskra, the co-convenor of

Womens Unionist Movement, said the annual rally might lack profile but the cause was always worthwhile. “We aim to raise awareness every year," she said.

"We'll keep chipping away. If you do nothing then you are already defeated,� she said. “Women have fought long battles throughout history and that is what we are doing,� she said.

For the first time in its 106 year history Geelong Trades Hall Council has more women than men on its executive.

Ms Iskra, from the Australian Services Union(private sector) is vice president.

Pool funding options ‘ignored’

By PAUL MILLAR A 60-YEAR push for an aquatic centre on the Surf Coast is drowning in a political brawl, with Sarah Henderson accusing council of lacking the will to make it happen.

The Member for Corangamite accused councillors of turning their backs on state and federal government funding opportunities for the $29 million project.

Why has shire turned back on state, fed cash?

“I am particularly disappointed that council refused to consider other funding models or apply for any funding under our (federal) National Stronger Regions Fund, which provides grants of up to $10 million.”

Ms Henderson said an additional $3.5 million was available

through state funding.

A council survey on support for the proposed aquatic centre “was designed to fail,” she said “The proposal (in the survey) for a special charge or pool tax is designed to ensure that a new aquatic centre does not get the support it deserve.”

The survey, of 600 people, in-

cluding 200 non-residents, “was not good enough”, Ms Henderson said.

“I am determined to give every resident a say on this important issue, which is why I will be distributing a survey to some 17,000 residents living in Torquay, Jan Juc, Bellbrae and Bells Beach.”

Mayor Margot Smith said the survey was only part of an ongoing consultation process that would include five forums over the next month.

Council needed the opinion of locals before committing to such a large investment on a major project, she said.

“We will have to borrow for it

and if we borrow we would have to pay.”

Council said it was “testing the water” on the loan repayment plan, suggesting an annual levy of between $20 and $150 for the next 20 years, dependent on proximity to the centre.

Investigations and paperwork into the construction of the facility have been gathering dust since the 1950s, with three feasibility studies run in the past decade.

Weather station BoMs out as region emerges from cold, dry winter ANOTHER month of questionable rain measurements has plagued the Bureau of Meteorology’s Geelong automatic weather station at Breakwater.

On 14 days in August the gauge registered nil rain but surrounding suburbs nearby totalled between 8mm and 12 mm.

Hopefully the bureau had fixed the problem later in the month.

Nevertheless, the region recorded a very poor 16mm across the urban area, or 30mm below the latest 30-year figures.

Locally, East Geelong was the driest suburb for the month, recording only 10.8mm.

Rain was registered on 20 days, with hail and wind gusts up to 72km/h on the second day of the month.

Below-average rain was recorded throughout the whole region from the Bellarine Peninsula, out to Golden Plains Shire and down into the Otways.

Abbott-gaffe candidate returns

1197311-KC36-15

ADRIAN Schonfelder has burned a few bridges in the past but the byelection candidate for Geelong’s Kildare ward has at least considered building a new one.

The 40-year-old surveyed residents about building another bridge at Queen’s Park but decided against it and now says he’s opposed to council rate rises.

As a Labor candidate for Flinders at the 2010 federal election he made national headlines when he accused then-opposition leader Tony Abbott of influencing people to commit suicide with his religious views on premarital sex and abortion.

Mr Schonfelder said he quickly apologised, stepped down as the candidate and was injured in a car accident soon after.

He had been a member of the Liberals before switching to Labor but was now unaligned to either party and only had an interest in politics, he said.

The latest candidate to emerge for the ward considered himself “interesting� rather than controversial.

Mr Schonfelder also considered himself well-versed in local issues, saying he had “lived, been educated and worked in Kildare ward at the local Safeway (now Woolworth’s) supermarket and was a paper boy for the Independent�.

CANDIDATE: Kildare ward hopeful Adrian Schonfelder. “I’d like to make a difference,� he said.

Mr Schonfelder also supported the retention of Geelong Saleyards as a council-owned asset.

He recently addressed council, saying the saleywards were essential to local farming communities. He wanted them modernised to become a regional centre for stock sales.

Calls to sell the saleyards were one of the main reasons he was standing for the ward, which

former councillor Stretch Kontelj vacated for a job promotion in England.

Mr Schonfeler said he would also challenge for the seat at the next election.

Governing was about listening, he said, and he was listening to residents of Kildare.

Nominations officially open on Thursday and close on 15 September before a postal vote in October.

SWOOPING magpies defending nests are causing problems at Wallington, Moolap, Mt Duneed, Wandana Heights and central Geelong, according to website Magpiealert.com.

Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning said the magpie was among bird species already swooping as part of normal breeding behaviours.

“Even though spring has only just begun, some birds such as plovers and Australian magpies are already protecting their nesting sites by swooping,” said the department's Mark Braguet.

“People should remember not to harm native birds as they are protected under the Wildlife Act 197.

“If you do end up in an area where there is a swooping bird try to protect your head and eyes and move quickly through the area.

“They're swooping to defend their eggs and young and if they perceive you to be a potential threat, they may swoop."

“Report a swooping incident via the Victorian Magpie Map on the DELWP website at delwp.vic. gov.au/swoop so other members of the community know about swooping hotspots.”

MILEMAKER Petroleum should do the right thing and waive the $5500 that VCAT has ordered Drysdale Clifton Springs Community Association (DCSCA) to pay for challenging a council decision supporting construction of a third petrol station in that lovely rural area (Independent, 28 August).

VCAT’s logic in this matter is questionable. On one hand it deemed the DCSCAs’ application was submitted too late to be heard but on the other it appeared to have relied on the application to conclude that the community association would “not be materially affected” by the construction of the service station. Had VCAT not accepted the application and fees for submission Milemaker Petroleum would not have incurred any legal costs.

Groups such as DCSCA provide a voice for their community, help build identity and contribute to social cohesion. Measures and decisions that actively discourage community groups from fully participating in society have damaging consequences for us all.

This VCAT decision is disappointing and might force the community group to fold.

How about schmarriage?

I WISH to comment on Judith Brooks’ letter, published in the 21 August Independent.

First, we must note that, while religions differ on many matters, all agree that marriage is between male and female.

However, even if religious beliefs are removed from the argument we must realise that all nature depends on male-female union for the continuation of the species. So should we have the right to challenge nature? I am aware some wish to be in same-sex relationships but please do not steal the word ‘marriage’, as has happened with the word ‘gay’.

While I and many others might not approve of same-sex relations, please at least come up with an original word.

Fluoride claims go too far Call Debbie BH 5249

6700 1161757-LN44-14

ON SUNDAY it was reported that anti-fluoridation people believe and are promoting the unfounded claim that fluoridation causes autism and lower IQs. Where is the proof for this outrageous claim?

My sister was diagnosed with autism over 20 years before fluoride was in our drinking water, as were thousands of other autistic people.

Email: editorial@geelongindependent.com.au PO Box 407, Geelong, 3220 Fax: 5249 6799

Where do anti-fluoridation people find their arguments? Each one of their supposed truths on the harms of fluoridation can be debunked and sound as if they are torn from the pages of a conspiracytheory story.

Fear, paranoia and not much else to do led to their movement. If it’s thought through logically, if even one of their claims were true then no way would fluoride be put in our water.

I am disgusted that anti-fluoridation groups are using scare tactics, like saying it causes autism, to get others on their paranoid bandwagon.

In this day and age there are far worse things to worry about than fluoridation - pick one and stop annoying the rest of us with ridiculous fluoridationis-evil propaganda.

I’m proud to be part of a skilled group that believes this is achievable.

Hit the gas

Bard canvases pot theory

I CONGRATULATE Andrew Katos MP for standing up in parliament to speak out against an unconventional gas exploration licence on the Surf Coast.

Mr Katos directly asked Premier Daniel Andrews not to extend the licence, which covers parts of Geelong and Surf Coast.

This and all other such licences in Victoria need to be cancelled. Gas demand is sharply declining, the risks of extraction are too great for communities to accept and Victoria’s clean-and-green tourism and agriculture industries need protecting.

On 20 September a Victorian declaration will take place, bringing urban and rural people together.

I invite everyone to attend and walk united to Parliament House to clearly demonstrate there is no social licence for the unconventional-gas industry. Moriac, Freshwater Creek, Mt Moriac, Paraparap, Deans Marsh and Birregurra will be represented, along with other declared gasfield-free communities.

The people have spoken and now the question remains: is the Andrews Government listening?

A NEWSPAPER recently reported that tobacco pipe fragments dug up in William Shakespeare’s garden at Stratford contained traces of cannabis.

The semi-literate boffins who made the discovery jumped to the conclusion that he must have written his plays under the influence of narcotics.

I believed that would be historically incorrect and wanted to verify the facts, so I booked a call to the newly-discovered Earth-like planet because that’s where Heaven might be and, lo and behold, I was able to converse with The Bard himself!

Will confirmed he’d written his plays in London, so any marijuana found in Stratford could not have influenced his plots.

Shakespeare said he retired to Stratford in 1610 but by then all his major works had been written.

He was relieved the boffins hadn’t done their research in winter for then they might have found ice in the relics, which would really have shot his reputation to pieces.

He said artists in his day painted on hemp - hemp canvas, that is - so he suspected that illustrators renting his pad while he was in London might have smoked their off-cuts. He suggested that was how the suspicious substance came to be found on his property.

Or, he speculated, maybe the scientists had been on something exotic recently.

I thanked him for his information and apologised for disturbing his eternal rest.

The famous scribe thanked me for allowing him to clear his name and his final comment was: “All’s well that ends well“.

Reductions create jobs THE ANDREWS Government has announced a Victorian Renewable Energy Target of a 20 per cent reduction by 2020.

It was great to see some strong leadership by Energy and Resources Minister Lily D’Ambrosio.

This could see strengthening in business and community opportunities around Geelong.

As a member of Geelong Sustainability Group’s Community Owned Renewable Energy initiative,

Promote jobs, not mayor GEELONG Mayor Darren Lyons might be successful at self-promotion but this should not be confused with achievements of longer-term significance to the Geelong community, particularly the creation of sustainable jobs for our young.

Our economy is in a tailspin with youth unemployment at unprecedented levels.

SHOOK UP: Max Pellicano on stage as Elvis.

THERE will be no contemporary songs when Max Pellicano performs in Geelong this month.

The standard classics have more than stood the time since the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll died in 1977 – and one of the world’s best Elvis impersonators knows what draws in the crowds.

Pellicano, who is based in Detroit, will shake, rattle and roll at Geelong Performing Arts Centre on 13 September as part of a tour of Australia and New Zealand.

His Elvis to the Max show is a re-creation of the King in Concert, with the costumes, moves and songs that always

make the karaoke list.

This show, however, is as close to the real thing as it gets.

“It does not matter where you go, Elvis fans are Elvis fans,” said the much-travelled entertainer, who has been visiting Australia since 1989.

Pellicano tries to live the part while on stage, from the looks to the humour and style.

He said that, while Presley’s songs were eternal, he expected a resurgence in popularity as the years go by.

Frank Sinatra and the rat-pack had experienced a boom in popularity in recent years and had become cool again, so he expected the same with Elvis.

The Monte Carlo-born performer has an uncanny resemblance to the Memphis legend and his stage costumes are exact replicas made by Elvis’s personal tailor, Bill Bellow.

Pellicano is regarded as one of the best Elvis tribute artists in the world and he tries to cover all bases.

“What we do try and do is mix it up, Elvis in Concert, Elvis’s Greatest Performances, the Aloha from Hawaii concert,” he said.

Pellicano’s schedule while in Australia and New Zealand is daunting, with 24 performances from August until the end of September.

MIFF’s on way

By EMILY IANNELLO MELBOURNE International Film Festival (MIFF) will bring four sell-out films to Geelong.

The event’s Travelling Film Festival series will visit Geelong and four other regional centres with weekend programs showcasing Australian and international highlights from this year’s Melbourne line-up.

Geelong Performing Arts Centre will screen Putuparri and the Rainmaker, Song of the Sea, Results and Neon from 11 to 12 September.

Festival artistic director Michelle Carey said selecting the

four films from the 300 titles showing in Melbourne was a “difficult choice”.

“We want films that are going to connect with audiences,” she said.

“The four films represent different genres. We know everyone has different taste so we love to put on all sorts of films.”

Carey described Putuparri and the Rainmakers as a story of love, hope and survival, based on Tom ’Putuparri’ Lawford’s struggle to reconnect with his ancestral lands and culture.

“Putuparri has been very popular - it’s in the top three documentaries. It’s also just won the

CinefestOZ film competition.”

Carey said MIFF most popular film winner, Song of the Sea, was a visually enchanting animation directed by academy award nominee Tomm Moore.

“It’s geared toward families.

It’s so beautiful looking on the big screen -it won an audience award, too.”

Carey said the two other films were an American romantic comedy and a documentary on architecture and the built environment.

“We think all four films are very acceptable and we’re very proud to be putting these out there. We really think they should all be seen on the big screen.”

Seniors Festival Exhibitions

Message From The Mayor

Faces of a Generation

Once again, community groups and businesses have jumped at the opportunity to be a part of the Geelong Seniors Festival with a great range of activities, entertainment and educational opportunities on offer.

October is a great time to find out what local clubs and interest groups provide. Perhaps try something you have always wanted to, or just kick back and enjoy the entertainment.

As part of the festival, ten Geelong residents were chosen to appear on large posters placed on buildings around Geelong for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Faces of a Generationâ&#x20AC;? project. This project celebrates seniors in our community and recognises the vital contribution they make through volunteering, participating in local activities and sharing the history of their community. I highly recommend you take the time to view these powerful images and the fascinating stories behind them.

Thank you to all the event holders whose ongoing support and dedication have ensured that the Geelong Seniors Festival continues to be the biggest community celebration for seniors in regional Victoria.

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

Mayor Darryn Lyons City of Greater Geelong

Sea Patrol star finds his voice TELEVISION star Ian Stenlake will showcase his talent on stage in Leading Man as part of Geelong Performing Arts Centre’s Morning Melodies series.

Stenlake made his name as Commander Mike Flynn over many years in Australian television drama Sea Patrol opposite Lisa McCune but is just as much at home on the stage.

Stenlake’s return to the performing arts centre will feature him performing many popular songs from his musical theatre career, including Oh, What a Beautiful Morning (Oklahoma), Hey There (The Pajama Game) and I Have Never Been in Love (Guys and Dolls) along with contemporary tunes such as Windmills of Your Mind and You Raise Me Up. Stenlake’s career began during a trip to Rome where he was convinced to become an extra for a movie being shot in the city. He consequently appeared as a waiter in Godfather III. Stenlake’s other talents include a strong stage presence and a powerful baritone voice, which he will use to entertain his GPAC Musical Mornings audiences in two performances on 16 to 17 September.

The Musical Mornings series will continue in October when former Geelong resident Maggie Britton returns to The Playhouse

DENTISTS Madan and Mamatha believe every individual should have the right to a healthy smile.

“With our gentle friendly approach at Smile Care Dentists and experience of more than 17 years, you are assured to be in safe and capable hands. Our minimal intervention and preventive approach will certainly keep you smiling with confidence for life.

“We are family based dentists and believe in treating each pa-

tient as treating our own self or our family members” Dr Madan says.

The clinic keeps dental treatment exciting and affordable.

Smile Care Dentists’ introductory offers can deliver the confidence boosts that come from winning smiles.

Give foot pain the boot AS ONE of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal and sports podiatry companies, Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, have had enormous success assisting people of all ages to end foot and leg pain, repair injury and regenerate arthritic joints.

Renowned for holistic patient attention, the clinics’ expertise is sought from far and wide.

They’ve been the chosen podiatrists for some of the world’s best athletes and thousands of others.

Foot and Leg Pain Clinic podiatrists help athletes return to sport, assist people who’ve suffered for years to relieve pain and increase mobility, and others to

avoid surgery and reduce medications.

“It’s really important to take a holistic approach to healing, to look past the symptoms, explore underlying issues and treat the cause of people’s concerns.

“One size does not fit all when it comes to healing; appropriate diagnostic evidence and targeted individualised treatment plans are key to achieving optimal, longterm health,“ says Dr David Kavanagh from Foot and Leg Pain clinics in Belmont.

Combining many years of clinical experience with the very

latest medical research and treatment options, including new regenerative therapies, Foot and Leg Pain Clinics are able to specifically target solutions to resolve any concerns.

Those suffering heel pain or plantar fasciitis; knee pain, injury or arthritis, ankle, achilles or shin pain; adolescent growing pains; fractures; bunions; sports or soft tissue injuries, can call Foot and Leg Pain Clinics on 1300 328 300.

For even deeper results, light emitting diode (LED) therapy is combined with a skin peel for the ultimate treatment.

LED treatment uses low levels of light to assist tissue healing, reduce inflammation and aid skin rejuvenation. Used in the fight against ageing, LED light therapy can minimise wrinkles by stimulating collagen production.

LED light treatment is also used to control bacteria when treating adult or teenage acne.

IF WINTER has left your skin feeling dull and dehydrated, your skin may need a little tender loving care.

Australian Skin Face Body has a range of treatments that can leave your skin feeling smooth and soft.

Dermal clinician Rebecca Harrison recommends a gentle skin peel to cleanse and refine pores, restoring your skin’s natural glow.

The treatment is painless, there may be a slight tingling of the skin, and there is minimal downtime. As the treatment is gentle, it is very unlikely your skin will peel in the days following the treatment.

MOBILITY, comfort and wellbeing can all be affected by foot conditions or ill-fitting and uncomfortable footwear.

The aim at Extra Depth Footwear is to provide most comfortable, stylish footwear that includes the correct width, depth or - if required - adjustments and alterations to ensure the perfect fit.

It is important that shoes for a diabetic foot are soft and without seams and stitching on the inside, as this will eliminate pressure and rubbing.

There are beautiful shoes and sandals from Germany, England and America, all medical grade with different widths and depths to fit everyone.

Extra Depth Footwear also keeps a range of adjustable comfort slippers or ’house shoes’ and a range of seamless socks, which are ideal for diabetic and arthritic feet.

Manifold Podiatry’s Celia Jackson, Jake MacKenzie, Annie Horvath and Simone Leembruggen.

“We fully address the problem and make sure clients are not continually coming back with painful conditions.”

Manifold Podiatry also offers a revolutionary, safe and effective treatment for fungal nails.

“The sooner we can treat fun-

gal nails, the better the success rate. If people wait until the fungal infection worsens, it is a lot harder to treat,” Dr Leembruggen says.

Manifold Podiatry is at 2/84 Shannon Ave, Geelong West, phone 5298 2746.

Fungal Nails?

PREVENTION rather than cure is much more than just a slogan at Manifold Podiatry.

Dr Simone Leembruggen says the clinic seeks out the cause of any foot-related problems rather than just treating the symptom.

“When people come in we look at the whole person and look at the cause of an issue, looking at why the problem has arisen,” Dr Leembruggen explains.

“Then we look at how to prevent it, to enable people to keep doing the things they love doing for as long as they can.

“We want to inspire people to value their feet. Feet are important – what would we do without them?”

Dr Leembruggen says education and empowering people to look after feet and prevent problems is the key.

“We talk to clients about understanding what a good shoe is, how to fit shoes properly to make sure people are wearing the right shoes.

“So often we see people wearing the wrong size footwear.”

Dr Leembruggen says that if clients return with a similar problem the underlying cause has not been resolved.

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs, a visiting specialist at the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says.

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses.

Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me.

“Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.”

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.

IndySport Carter brushes off fan ‘quibbles’ over heroes to their word and you can go with their blessing and they welcome you back with open arms," Hunt told AFL.com.au.

"Any of those guys that are mentioned that decide to retire have been champions of the Geelong footy club.

Whatever decision they make after that I don't think that has anything to do with the legacy they are going to leave behind at Geelong."

Hunt acknowledged the tough decision facing Kelly and Stokes about whether to play on elsewhere.

"That is their call on their own destiny and their own careers,” he said.

"If for some reason clubs feel like they need to move you on, whether because it is the path they are going and they feel like you are no longer a piece of their puzzle, and you can go somewhere else and [play], then I can't see any harm in doing that."

Kelly will have an important role in his final match at Simonds Stadium tomorrow, with the Cats ruling out any return of injured pair Mitch Duncan and Josh Caddy.

The Cats take on inform Adelaide in the final home-and-away round of the season.

The match will have added spice, with Geelong attempting to sign Crow star Paddy Dangerfield, who has expressed interest in reuniting with his family on the Surf Coast.

Oceania Marina anchored in Corio Bay early this year.

On board for cruise CUSTODIAN Travel and Cruise prepares for C.L.I.A. National Cruise Week 2015.

Staff at Custodian Travel and Cruise are getting ready for the third annual Cruise Lines International Association (C.L.I.A.) National Cruise Week beginning Monday 7 September.

From 7 to 14 September, cruise lines will have special offers for new bookings made: ranging from reduced prices and deposits to very welcome bonus On Board Spending Credits (so handy for helping cover that end of cruise account). Go to www. cruiseweek.org for the online magazine giving all the details. It’s a great time to ‘get on board’ .

C.L.I.A. organises this once-a-year sale of cruises with over 30 cruise lines, located all over the world, including popular companies such as Royal Caribbean, P&O, or Princess, and high end luxury lines, such as Oceania, Silversea, or Regent Seven Seas.

Cruising is the fastest growing holiday choice, as more and more people discover the appeal of unpacking only once, but seeing the world in great style and comfort.

Custodian Travel and Cruise staff are highly respected for their cruise knowledge - having the most C.L.I.A. accredited staff in the Geelong region.

Accreditation involves undertaking specific cruise training, passing exams, and being actively involved in inspecting and sailing on ships. Just as there are horses for courses, it is important to choose the right ship and the right cruise for you.

This is where training and firsthand experience can help you with making the right decision.

So whether you’re wanting the mega liner, bursting with exciting activities or the intimacy and pampering of the small ship experience, there’s no better time to book your cruise, and no-one better to book it with than Custodian Travel and Cruise.

Frank’s trout and about for trophy fish at reservoir On the

bite

Chris Pitman

TROPHY: Frank Benvenuto with another big trout from Wurdee Boluc Reservoir. near the boat ramp last weekend. To make things even better, Les caught his fish during gentlemen’s hours at 11.30am.

The Barwon River above Queen’s Park produced redfin to 35cm on hard-body lures cast among the snags.

Kayak anglers again did best due to their ability to access hard-to-reach sections of the river.

St Augustine’s Lake, at Highton, fished well for trout stocked during the recent school holidays. Pink Powerbait or small Rapala hard-body lures did the trick, with some of these

trout now 35cm.

Squid were the sought-after species of saltwater anglers over the past week. Queenscliff produced the largest specimen, especially at Bell Reef.

Grass beds just outside Queenscliff Harbour produced whiting to 44cm at the start of the run-out tide, with tenderised fresh squid the top bait.

Gone Fishing Charters’ Chris Vasilevski found some larger squid for his client’s last week just out from Queenscliff, with white 3.5-size jigs working best.

Pinkie snapper were taken in large numbers inside Corio Bay, with the odd flathead also making its way into anglers’ bags.

Some large bream were taken from the waterfront during the evenings on live bait rigged almost unweighted.

Bancoora Beach produced Australian Salmon to 2kg on lures. The start of the run-in tide was best, especially when a north wind allowed for longer casts to reach fish holding behind the break.

The western district kept going from strength to strength. Dylan Pace fishing one of its smaller estuary systems to land mulloway to 78cm, bream to 40cm and perch to 48cm, all on hard-body lures or soft plastics.

One of Victoria’s all-time greatest runs of large southern bluefin tuna over 100kg continued between Apollo Bay and Portland. Over the past week fish over 100kg and up to 164kg were taken daily, with large skirted lures the weapon of choice and anglers enduring battles lasting three hours or more after hooking up.

Next week anglers should venture down to the western district if the weather’s good enough to chase a tuna of a lifetime. Otherwise, plenty of squid should be on offer around Queenscliff, while freshwater anglers should try Wurdee Boluc for its numerous trophy brown.

FRANK Benvenuto again tried drifting mudeyes under a float from the main rockwall at Wurdee Boluc Reservoir last Saturday afternoon with the intention of bagging another beastly brown trout.

Frank didn’t have to wait long before his float disappeared under the surface and line started to peel of his reel under the weight of a 45cm brown trout. Content with landing one fish, he rebaited and cast back out to catch another brown, this time 58cm.

Frank went on to hook and drop another two trout that he estimated were larger than the fish he’d caught in recent times. He fished once more on Monday morning, landing a brown trout of 60cm on a scrubworm.

Redfin were also caught at Wurdee Boluc over the past week. They were down on the average size but still a welcome by-catch for anglers cashing trout on lures.

Lake Purrumbete remained fickle but Les Clarke boated a 2.79kg Brown Trout on a Daiwa Double Clutch lure

GEELONG supporters understand their heroes eventually have to leave even if they “quibble” with the timing, according to Cats president Colin Carter.

"The most important thing from our point of view is that these guys move on, whenever they do, to successful careers and in 10 years’ time they look back on their period at the club as a highlight of their lives," Carter told reporters.

Geelong has announced that Mathew Stokes and James Kelly will play their final game for the Cats tomorrow, with speculation continuing to surround Steve Johnson's future with the club.

He was happy with delisted players going to another club.

"If any person can find a better opportunity for themselves elsewhere then I think good employers don't stand in their road. So if some of our players can construct an opportunity elsewhere that they can't do here, then I think they do that with our blessing."

Departing Cats veterans could at least take solace knowing they will be welcome back if they finished their careers elsewhere, said dual premiership player Josh Hunt.

The solidly-build defender played his final year with Greater Western Sydney after the Cats delisted him at the end of 2013.

"The beauty of the footy club is that they stand true

Spring is in the air and it’s time to celebrate...

Grab your Routleys Party Pies today!

FOR more than 60 years Routley’s Bakery has been synonymous with this region – a local family providing beautiful baked goods for local Victor Routley families.

Vic and Verna Routley first started baking in 1947.

The Original Routleys Store was on Nelson Place in Williamstown though Vic and Verna both grew up in Geelong.

After the War in 1947 the couple moved to Williamstown, where Vic worked as a baker before deciding to buy the shop where he had been working and operating Victor Routley it together.

Working “days” began at midnight, when they stoked up their big brick lined “scotch” oven, fired with wood or briquettes.

They would put the pies in first, when the oven was hottest, followed by cakes and then the delicate sponges.

September Special

In 1971, Vic and Verna Verna Routley handed on the baton to their son Lawrie and his wife Anne, who have expanded the business with the help of their five children (Simon, Penny, Michael, Kate and Sam) to what it is today.
