LIFE-SAVER'S 'TOO COSTLY'

Geelong residents are falling to their death 55 per cent more often than the rest of Australia on average, according to latest mortality statistics.

Accidental falls killed 214 people in greater Geelong from 2012 to 2016, almost five times more than a section of Sydney with roughly the same population.

Falling ‘killer’

Managing Editor: Tony Galpin: 5249 6700 editorial@geelongindependent.com.au

From page 1 Falls were a leading cause of workplace injuries, WorkSafe expert Michael Coffey warned.

“Even a fall from a low height can lead to serious injury or death for workers,” he said.

“Measures to reduce the risks of falls in workplaces are well-known, so there is no excuse for not having them in place.”

In June a 45-year-old man died when he fell from a stationary truck at a chicken farm in Freshwater Creek. In 2015 a 42-year-old plumber died after falling from a ladder at a two-storey home in Hamlyn Heights.

Geelong also has a large elderly population, which the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare warns has a higher risk of death from falls.

The institute’s national analysis of deaths revealed that accidental falls were the ninth most-common cause in Geelong, ahead of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Parkinson's disease ranked 19th but was 24 per cent higher than the national average.

Barwon Health neuroscience director Paul Talman attributed the figures to Geelong’s elderly population.

“If you isolated just the Bellarine Peninsula, which has a lot of retirees, it would be even higher,” he said.

Influenza and pneumonia ranked sixth, for deaths in Geelong, killing 298 people at a rate 66 per cent above the national average.

Western Victoria Primary Health Network chief executive officer Leanne Beagley described 2017 as a big year for influenza.

“Geelong itself experienced high levels of influenza and, as a result, a number of related deaths were recorded.”

Dr Beagley said the flu and pneumonia most-affected the elderly, the very young and those with compromised health.

Coronary heart disease was by far the biggest killer in Geelong, in line with the national average.

IN BRIEF

Comfort over price key to trial of ferry

By Luke Voogt A new Geelong-Melbourne ferry will cost passengers 55 per cent more than a train during a three-year trial, according to the operator.

Port Phillip Ferries’ website lists a return fare from Geelong at $36, about $12 more than a train.

But company chief executive officer Murray Rance described the ferry “an alternative” rather than a competitor to the train.

“It’s a far more comfortable ride,” he said.

“It’s a different experience: you’re guaranteed a seat, free wi-fi and that it’s not going to stop halfway.”

Regular commuters could save by purchasing 20 tickets at a time, with discounts for concessions and seniors, Mr Rance added.

The trial of the twice-daily return service will commence early next year after State Government pledged $6 million in support over three years.

But Mr Rance declined to reveal the overall operation costs for the period.

“That’s not a figure that should be disclosed,” he said.

“We’re operating the business as a private business after that (funding).”

The funding would contribute to overall costs, such as employing staff and marketing, he said.

At 30 knots an hour (55km/h) Port Phillip Ferries’ current vessel completes the trip in 100 minutes, roughly 40 minutes longer than the train.

But company owner Paul Little would invest about $10 million to design a faster ferry, which could slice 10 minutes from the trip, Mr Rance said.

“We haven’t arrived at a speed yet but we’re talking to engineers to increase that speed.”

Authorities have permitted the ferry to travel at 15 knots after entering the Yarra River at Wil-

liamstown, despite the eight-knot speed limit.

Mr Rance hoped to further increase that speed but acknowledged “safety is the most important thing”.

The ferry had completed the trip in under 95 minutes during a recent two-week trial, he added The free trial attracted 2000 passengers, with 150 people travelling on the inaugural voyage and up to 300 taking the ferry in the afternoon, Mr Rance said.

He hoped the trial had encouraged commuters to change their habits.

“The reason we made the trials free is they never would have come on board if they had to try it for a fee.”

The ferry would need on average 200 to 300 passengers per day to make it viable after the three year trial, Mr Rance said.

“It’s a great experience and we’re very proud of it.”

New drug’s price out of reach for CF family

By Luke Voogt Jennifer Jury would remortgage her home for a new cystic fibrosis (CF) wonder drug for daughter Ellie-May. "We would do anything if it meant helping her," the Jan Juc mother said.

But at $300,000 a year that would only cover treatment costs for two or three years.

"Unless you're (a) lotto winner - it's out of reach," Jennifer said.

Ellie-May, 9, was born with CF, an incurable genetic condition with an average life expectancy of 37 years.

A new drug, Orkambi, could add decades to the lives of 1300 Australians like Ellie-May, drastically reducing permanent lung damage, medication and hospital visits.

Ellie-May had a few "terrifying" emergency visits after coughing up blood last year, Jennifer said.

"Already before heading to school today she's done half an hour of nebulizer, physio and taken her daily tablets."

Her family are anxiously waiting for 17 August, when Federal Government decides if it will subsidise Orkambi through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).

The drug's manufacturer, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and government were wrangling over costs, putting a value on Ellie-Mays' life, Jennifer said.

"I'm sure if they had a child with CF they would do whatever they could to make it accessible."

Ellie-May is avid surfer, netballer and high jumper despite her condition.

"Although sometimes I can't go as fast as

Lyle passes Torquay-based professional golfer Jarrod Lyle has died after a third bout of cancer.

The married 36-year-old with daughters aged six and two died on Wednesday night after declining further treatment for leukaemia and entering palliative care last week.

‘Invaders’ charged Geelong detectives have arrested two teenagers over an alleged home invasion of an elderly couple's home at Corio on Monday night.

The detectives charged the 15-year-olds from Melbourne's west on Thursday with two counts of aggravated home invasion and one of recklessly causing injury.

Writ ‘wrong’ Former mayor Darryn Lyons’ defamation writ against a community radio station is surprising given his “self-professed” support of free speech, state parliament has heard.

Labor Member for Geelong Christine Couzens used parliament to support The Pulse in its clash with Mr Lyons, who has expressed interest in running against her as an independent at November’s state election.

Building ‘evacuated’ City Hall has ordered the evacuation of a central Geelong building amid safety fears.

Support works last week had prevented a collapse of Belcher’s Corner, at the intersection of Moorabool and Ryrie Sts, but council had been advised to keep it empty until “deemed safe for occupation”, City Hall said.

Hearing voices Mayor Bruce Harwood has convened a meeting with several local lobby groups to develop a united voice for Geelong.

Wednesday night’s meeting followed ongoing concerns about the number of local advocates with differing priorities, including Committee for Geelong’s launch last month of a “policy framework” for making the city “world-class”.

GOR support A leading tourism body has thrown its weight behind plans to create an authority dedicated to managing Crown land along the Great Ocean Road.

The state coalition’s pre-election commitment to establish a Great Ocean Road Authority would replace a “challenging web of existing organisations” now managing the international icon, Victorian Tourism Industry Council said this week.

House reopens Geelong’s disused waterfront Beach House cafe is set to reopen under the management of “renowned” hospitality operators from Melbourne, City Hall has announced.

The Mulberry Group had agreed to a 10year lease on the historic building, which closed over two years ago following the departure of its previous tenant, City Hall said.

Done deal

HOPE: Ellie-May Jury, pictured with family pet Kobe, is anxiously waiting to see if government will subside a new, $300,000-a-year cystic fibrosis drug. 183838 (Rebecca Hosking) other kids if I'm having a bad day," the chirpy youngster admitted.

The drug would change her life, she said.

"It will be a lot of pain gone. Why are you making it so expensive for us when it could actually save people's lives?"

The federal opposition has fallen in line with the Turnbull Government, promising to support a City Deal-type funding package for Geelong under another name.

Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese met Mayor Bruce Harwood in Geelong this week, committing to a “City Partnership” that wold “build on the details” of the government’s funding deal.

Norlane’s Lindy Joy Crouch is a world champion after winning two gold medals at an International Taekwondo Federation tournament.

“The coaches taught me well so I could earn gold,” Lindy told the Indy on Tuesday.

“It felt great to stand on the stage and get given a medal - I waved to everyone.”

The world championship in Argentina was the first big overseas trip for Lindy, who has Down syndrome.

“The plane trip was long but I loved the movies, the music and the games on the TV and I liked eating the food on the plane.

“I like the food in Argentina but I struggle with the Spanish.”

Lindy made plenty of friends in the Australian and New Zealand teams and yelled “Aussie!

Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!” with the crowd when her compatriots competed.

“Everyone was very good to me and helped me,” she said.

But just days after becoming the first Australian with Down syndrome to win gold at a taekwondo world tournament she was already learning her next pattern.

“I need to go straight back to training so I can earn another belt,” Lindy said.

“I want to do another competition, the next world comp is in Russia in two or three years."

Proud mother Jayne described Lindy, who carried the Australian flag for her team in the opening ceremony, as “a great ambassador for Geelong”.

“She took great pride in this honour,” she said.

DOUBLE TAKE Knees usually wear out jeans but could jeans fix worn out knees?

According to the latest in unexpected Geelong research, the answer is surprisingly ‘yes’.

Deakin University scientist Dr Noelene Byrne and research sidekick Beini Zeng have discovered how to turn denim into a material with potential for use as artificial cartilage in joint reconstructions.

The pair dissolved the material in a special potion to produce an “aerogel” with a structure identical to cartilage, Dr Byrne explained.

The similarity allowed the gel to mimic cartilage’s “weeping” lubrication mechanism, which protected joints form wear and tear, she said.

Great work! Now let’s make the most of it with a used-jeans appeal for the Cats’ physiotherapy department.

More evidence has surfaced of the shark danger in local waters - many millions of years ago, thankfully.

The local daily reported this week the discovery at Jan Juc of fossilised fangs from a prehistoric shark almost twice the size of a contemporary great white. Yikes!

The find was apparently an Australian-first for the species in question. But it wasn’t the first time evidence has emerged of mega-biteys circling local waters in the primordial past.

Way back in the mid-2000s the Indy reported on a discovery also at Jan Juc of fossils from a vicious looking half-shark/half-whale animal with big, nasty teeth.

At the time, a concept image of the big fish imagined it preying on a shark. Talk about a fearful food chain!

At least local shark-phobiacs can take comfort in knowing it was worse, much worse, 25 million years ago.

JEANS GENIES: PhD student Beini Zeng and Dr Nolene Byrne.

The market for Geelong’s long-proposed conference centre could be much wider than expected, if an announcement this week is anything to go by.

Jim’s Fencing went to the expense of employing a national news agency to trumpet that Geelong was hosting the franchise’s annual conference.

The big show started Wednesday and would finish on Saturday, the official statement said, with Jim’s fencers gathering at Geelong’s waterfront Novotel hotel for their talkfestivities.

Now even fencers have conferences? Better get moving on that conference centre quick smart!

Meanwhile, fencing sounds like a much better career option for three dumb crooks who burgled some display homes recently.

Police this week posted on Facebook surveillance camera images of the suspects, revealing they stole a wall-mounted TV from a display home at Lara. A commenter on the post said the trio knocked off two other displays as well - all for a haul of fake decorative TVs. “So (they’re) not the sharpest tools in the shed,” the commenter observed.

Indeed, but sharper than anyone who buys the fake TVs at least! geelongindy.com.au

Letter pervert’s local link A stalker writing sexually-explicit letters and making inappropriate phone calls to women working in Surf Coast businesses could be a local, police have warned.

Police in July released surveillance camera images of the unknown offender, who has handwritten about 20 graphic letters to businesses at Coburg, Torquay and Essendon.

Fawkner Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team detectives began investi-

gating the case after the man sent sexually-explicit handwritten letters to several businesses in January 2018.

Recently the man had made inappropriate calls from pay phones in the Melbourne and Surf Coast areas to female staff members at the same businesses.

One call was from a pay phone at Airport West on 9 May, police said.

Since police appealed for information from

the public in July, the offender had continued to write explicit letters to the businesses, investigators said.

Originally police advised that the man could be frequenting Anglesea and the rest of the Surf Coast.

But now detectives believe the man could be an Anglesea or Surf Coast resident.

Police have described the letters as about 10 pages long.

They believe the man has made follow-up phone calls for sexual gratification and has targeted the same victims multiple times.

The man has a deep voice, an Australian accent and is well-spoken, based on police recordings of some phone calls.

Police urged anyone with information about the incidents to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

'Amazing' family, friends rally for young mum with cancer

By Luke Voogt Breakwater mother Kerry Beals is determined to “kick cancer’s butt” with loved ones by her side.

Her “amazing“ family and friends had showered her food, gifts and love since her breast cancer diagnosis in June, she said following a recent chemo session.

“It’s overwhelming at times - you don’t want to feel like a charity case but sometimes you just have to accept the help.”

Kerry’s road ahead includes months of chemo, radiation and a double mastectomy.

“It takes a toll because of all the chemicals they put in you,” she said.

But she is facing it courageously for her husband and son.

“I feel like they’re doing better because they see that I’m OK,” she said.

Small things, like her friends buying the best wig they could find, made a huge difference, she said.

“I loved my long hair before it started falling out.”

Grovedale’s Paige Smith and other mates will hold a fundraiser for Kerry on 26 August at The 19th Tee, Highton, with raffles, food and silent actions.

BEST MATES: Paige Smith, right, is organising a fundraiser to help friend Kerry Beals battle breast cancer.

FIGHTER: Kerry Beals during chemotherapy.

“She’s been the strongest person,” Paige said.

“It’s us all breaking down and being sad she’s the positive one.“ Paige urged locals to search ‘fundraiser Kerry Beals’ to get involved.

“Having a mortgage and a son who’s in high school ... it’s quite difficult for her,” she said.

“We just want her to be better and get back to her happy self.”

Veteran fights in Canada

By Luke Voogt After three decades firefighting and 15 years battling bushfires from the air, Bell Post Hill’s Simon Scharf will embark on a career-first this month.

The 51-year-old on Tuesday joined a CFA contingent flying to Canada to help waterbomb blazes in British Columbia.

“I started fighting fires as a volunteer when I was 17,“ he told the Indy before flying out.

“But this is my first international deployment.”

The Lara station officer and father-of-three recently completed CFA’s first-ever night aerial firefighting course.

“This will be a game-changer - to be able to fight fires after dark, which we’ve never done,” he said.

“There are six of us at the moment who are qualified to do that in the state.”

Australian firefighters were second in the world to develop the capability, behind authorities in California, Simon said.

Australian aviation law restricts how low aircraft can fly at night and water bombing fires above that altitude is ineffective.

But training with cutting-edge GEN III night vision binoculars would allow CFA helicopters and planes to go below the altitude, Simon explained.

“For a fire that has already started we can extend that operation into the night.”

Simon became an air observer in 1993, mapping operations from the air as the “link” between ground and air crews.

“We do that so we can identify those ground crews and make sure they’re safe,” he said.

“We basically fly when most other people are tying their planes down because it’s too windy.“ Simon works in a confined space in often

HEROES: Canadians Jim Thomasson and Jim Tarnowski, and CFA’s Wayne Rigg and Simon Scharf during a recent firefighting course. “horrid and bumpy” conditions, the worst of which occurred above Weerite, near Camperdown, on Black Saturday in 2009.

He struggled to write notes in his logbook as they tracked a deadly grassfire.

“The turbulence was unbelievable that day.

It got rough as hell.”

The 300 hectare fire, moving at 15 km/h, was the fastest he had seen.

He saw a 40-seat bus on the Princess Highway heading straight for the fire, before it turned around.

“Which was a really good decision on his

part,” he said.

Despite conditions that would terrify a nervous flyer, Simon was too busy to be afraid.

“It’s a very mentally draining job,” he said.

Following Black Saturday Simon became an air attack supervisor, directing aircraft where to water bomb without hitting ground crews.

He has met several Canadian firefighters who came over during the Australian summer.

“Hopefully I come across those guys over there again,” he said.

“They’re kind of like Australia’s cousins they’re very down-to-earth and polite.”

Geelong firefighters will save lives in non-fire emergencies if they arrive before paramedics, following intensive first responder training.

In a fortnight CFA will dispatch Geelong trucks to priority Triple 0 calls when the victim was not breathing, District 7 rostered duty officer Wayne Aylmer explained.

“In the past, if we’ve gone to a call and pulled someone out of a fire we’ve always performed CPR,” he said.

“But previously if someone collapsed at a shopping centre we wouldn’t have responded.”

Firefighters who arrived first would set up spine boards and ventilation and administer CPR, oxygen and defibrillation, Mr Aylmer said.

“As of 22 August we’ll be live across Ocean Grove, Belmont, Geelong, Corio and Lara. The ambulance will respond as normal but the fire truck will respond as well.

“It’s whoever gets there quickest. It’ll become business as usual very quickly.”

The rollout follows local career firefighters taking an intensive 80-hour emergency medical response course over eight days with Ambulance Victoria.

“I did mine a few weeks ago. It was enjoyable but pretty full on,” Mr Aylmer said.

The course built on firefighters’ existing CPR skills as first responders at fires, he said.

“The CFA’s already dispatching firefighters as first responders in other parts of Victoria.

In some parts of the state our guys get there quicker and at others they’ll be behind.”

Career firefighter trucks were now equipped with defibrillators to support their new role, Mr Aylmer said.

LETTERS Landlord a cheapskate The announcement of a paltry $2.5 million to council by State Government to tackle homelessness (Geelong Indy, 3 August) should be treated with the derision it deserves.

The Department of Health and Human Services deals with the provision of housing for people in need - councils are not a housing authority.

The department rakes in rental of $100 a week and often more from each of the 38,000 or so dwellings it manages, depending on the number of tenants in multi-room dwellings, but can only stump up such a paltry sum now, and it’s going to council, which has the greatest trouble successfully organising anything.

Instead of all this rent money disappearing into consolidated revenue, might it not be better for these funds rather remain with the department to plan and develop needed housing in various local patches?

The government’s efforts in public housing seem nothing more than offering not peanuts but empty shells compared to the monetary incomings from its housing state-wide.

As I have written previously, no immigrants seem homeless, so we need a big effort to make sure no locals are homeless, starting here in Geelong.

The government should have no trouble financing housing projects around the state based on the income stream from its rentals.

Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

South Barwon deserves better I noticed that Andrew Katos continues to do what he does best: appearing in someone else's photo opportunity (Geelong Indy, 3 August).

That marked him, disappointingly, as no different to his predecessor, Michael Crutchfield, who did precious little to engage with his community.

Together their records stand as mostly lacking in positive ideas or initiatives.

Does South Barwon deserve to be represented by successive parliamentarians who, while being largely invisible and seemingly unable to represent their electors, are all too happy to conform to the dictates of Spring Street?

Blame booze, not drinkers

BUCKETS & BOUQUETS Buckets to politicians being allowed to keep their jobs after being caught drink driving when normal people usually lose their own. Why should politicians be able to stay in the job until the next election? Is it just so they can qualify for their big parliamentary pension?

Angry, Highton Buckets to the stinking mess that was outside a vacant building in Moorabool St, Geelong. I hope the person involved doesn’t come back.

Disgusted, Corio who will stand up to the alcohol companies.

We don't need to name and shame individuals, like the local Liberal MP who blew almost four times the legal limit (Geelong Indy, 27 July).

We need to fix the whole system but who will stand up?

Who has the courage to do this?

Hit the gas or fall behind Twenty years ago the first commercial fracked gas well was drilled in Texas It was so successful that most of the USA’s 2,000,000 wells drilled since have been fracked.

This has changed the world. Previously the world's largest energy importer, and dependent on Arab oil, the USA has overtaken Saudi Arabia and Russia in oil and gas production and even started exporting both.

The price of US gas has dropped by twothirds, revitalising its economy and creating more than 2,000,000 jobs.

By substituting gas for coal in electric power plants, fracking has led to a greater reduction of CO2 emissions than in any other country and more than all the wind turbines and solar panels across the entire globe.

Alarmed at the loss of its monopoly, the Saudis reduced their oil price in 2014, benefiting us all. Meanwhile, our crazy-brave Victorian Government has prohibited all gas development in order to win Greens preferences, while our timid Liberals have largely agreed for a few farm votes.

Our gas price has tripled since 2015 and there is now concern that gas will be short next year, leading to even-higher prices. Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman Rod Simms said recently that some businesses had been forced to close due to high power costs.

Around 104,000 Australian households cannot pay their power bills and are disconnected, and another 100,000 are on hardship payment arrangements.

Move over Third World, we’re coming to join you.

economic and environmental values for its visitors, workers and residents.

Over 1000 species of marine plants and animals live in and around the bay, alongside the ports of Melbourne and Geelong, which support billions of dollars trade and host over 3000 ship visits annually.

More than three million people live around the bays. They provided a significant contribution to Victoria’s economy but lack an overall strategy and coordination across the 10 local governments that front the bays.

Keeping the bays a hub for leisure and trade, as well as a sustainable environment, needs careful planning. By working together to develop Bay Plan 2050, government, business and the community can ensure these amazing natural assets can support Victorians into the future.

In March, to wide support, the Victorian Chamber called on the State Government and opposition to commit to the development of Bay Plan 2050. There were no questions about the importance of developing a plan to benefit Victorians and ensure the continuing viability of Port Phillip and Corio bays.

Since then neither Premier Daniel Andrews nor opposition leader Matthew Guy has committed to develop Bay Plan 2050.

It’s time to commit so that governments, business and communities can get on with the job.

Effective, sustainable development requires time, which is why Bay Plan 2050 needs to be on the agenda now.

Goals for football I had a dream about reforming the AFL, which has its roots in Victoria with 11 of the original VFL teams emanating from Melbourne plus our hometown team of Geelong.

For a genuine Australian competition, the Northern Territory (NT) and Tasmania should be included in their own right. There's a lot of footy talent in the NT, and a lot of footy mania in the Apple Isle.

Therefore, reformation could start with one state team representing Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and the NT. Melbourne could keep its nine clubs, with Geelong making a total of 16. Also, eliminate the cursed byes and get back to some of the basic rules.

Any thought of removing the behind posts or changing the typically Australian Rules way of scoring should be dismissed. Our goals and behinds scoring method makes our game uniquely Australian and emphasises the skill of a game called football.

One of the exciting aspects of AFL is the rate of scoring, and it never ends with a nil-all result.

Home grounds should be home grounds, and as far as possible every team should have a home ground game every second weekend at home and nowhere else.

As for the number of teams in the finals, the experts can work that out, but each finals game should be played on the home ground of the higher-placed team, with the grand final at the MCG, or all finals at the MCG to accommodate crowds.

But, alas, I woke up.

Step ahead of thieves One way of reducing the possibility, if not probability, of a home robbed is for occupiers to be unpredictable in their movements.

Professional thieves usually study the movement patterns of their intended targets.

Readers shouldn’t make thieves task easy by always leaving home at the same time for shopping or other purposes.

Michael J Gamble Belmont

Winter appeal thanks I thank the Victorian community for its generous contributions to The Smith Family’s Winter Appeal.

We raised more than $4.5 million nationally to help thousands of disadvantaged children across Australia with vital support for their education. For the one in seven young Australians living below the poverty line, keeping up at school can be extremely challenging. Family struggles at home can have a flow-on effect to a child’s learning.

In our daily work we hear heartbreaking stories of children missing school because they’re embarrassed about not being able to read or pretending to lose their homework because they hadn’t understood what was happening in class.

The donations we’ve received will help us reach almost 11,000 children in need through The Smith Family’s out-of-school learning programs.

Each of the three key programs relies not only on generous donations from the public but also volunteering support from the communities where we operate. To everyone who has given their valuable time and dollars to support our work, we extend a huge thank you.

It is heart-warming to see people responding with great care to this large-scale issue of poverty in Australia, which affects so many of our young people. With this support we can help more children in need break the cycle of disadvantage and create for themselves better futures.

Anyone wishing to find out more about The Smith Family and our work can phone 1800 024 069 or visit thesmithfamily.com.au <http://thesmithfamily.com.au/>.

We know that the USA, where school shootings seem weekly, has a problem with guns.

Yet guns apparently have more rights than people in the USA. Trying to restrict access to them prompts some folks to say their freedom’s being taken away.

They say the guns aren't the problem, it's people's behaviour. Australia doesn’t believe this of course, and after the Port Arthur massacre we put in strong gun laws.

But something else kills thousands of Australians every year. It puts others in jail, hospital, or worse.

But if we tried to restrict it would we be like USA leaders and blame individuals instead of the cause?

Would we talk about a ‘nanny state’ if someone even suggested closing down some of the places where it is sold, or banning its advertising?

Or do we value people's lives?

This coming election we need candidates

FINALLY FRIDAY

Lookalike's Dusty show

INCREDIBLE LIKENESS: Wendy Stapleton (inset) returns to sing as Dusty Springfield at Geelong RSL.

After 23 years celebrating the life of Dusty Springfield, veteran performer Wendy Stapleton brings her long-running tribute to Geelong next Saturday.

The 64-year-old has performed as the British pop legend at major theatres across Australia and the world since 1995.

“I’ve modified it so I can do it at clubs,” Stapleton told the Indy.

“You can’t take an orchestra around.”

Terence O’Connell had the brainchild of casting Stapleton as Springfield after directing her in Australian musicals Bad Boy Johnny and the Prophets of Doom.

“He had wanted to do a Dusty show for ages,” she said.

The plan to do a tribute show was “a bit odd” given Springfield was still alive at the time, Stapleton said.

“But (O’Connell) loved her so much he said ‘why wait until someone dies to tell them you love them’.”

O’Connell recognised the vocal and physical resemblance between the veteran Australian performer and the pop legend.

“If you see both of us with all of the makeup and wigs and stuff, you see a pretty close resemblance,” Stapleton said.

“I guess that’s why I was offered the job in the first place.”

Stapleton grew up on the sounds of Dusty before “dancing on telly as a kid” on the Tarax Show.

“I remember that as a kid. My mother bought me the sheet music so I could sing it,” she said.

“Back in the day, you used to have to go and get someone to play it on the piano for you.

Now we all just go on computer and get the backing track.”

Stapleton performed the show for a stint in England during 1997 and 1998 just before Dusty died.

“She was so unwell by then that she couldn’t get out of bed,” she said.

“She didn’t see the show, but her friends did. They were happy with the way the story was portrayed.”

Stapleton will perform Springfield’s hits at Geelong RSL on 18 August with her crew of singers and musicians, albeit on a smaller stage than decades ago.

“I’ve still got the collection of wigs I can tell you that,” she said.

Stapleton has performed fro 5 years, including stints on Neighbours and singing with her band Wendy and the Rocketts in the 1980s.

“The first gig for the Rocketts was always the pub right in the centre of Geelong,” she said.

“If we had a good night at the Eureka it would be a good tour - it was a wild little place that pub!”

Stapleton again looked forward to returning to Geelong.

“A lot of our friends live down there,” she said.

“I’d like to see all the old faces.”

If the reviews on social media are anything to go by, Sakuratei Japanese Cuisine in Manifold Heights is a gem.

The addition to Geelong West’s culinary culture has been reviewed as one of the best Japanese restaurants outside Japan.

And that’s from well-travelled tourists as well as locals who have discovered the authentic delicacies served with a minimum of fuss.

The real strength of Sakuratei is the extensive menu, with everything from soups and entrees, main courses of ramen, udon, bento boxes and curries to desserts.

The teriyaki chicken and beef have proved popular, along with the dumplings and hotplate meals.

Owner Flora says although some meals are

Relx & Enjoy Cafe Now Open

not necessarily on the menu, the kitchen is happy to entertain special orders.

A range of specials is available at the sushi bar along with a takeaway service – and all at very affordable prices.

Not only are the various dishes freshly cooked, they’re served by friendly and knowledgeable staff.

After four years in busy Shannon Ave, Sakuratei has developed a loyal band of regular customers, Flora says.

Sakuratei also has a customer car park for eat-in patrons.

The restaurant is open 10am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 5pm to 10pm Sundays.

Sakuratei is at 161 Shannon Ave, Manifold Heights, phone 5222 6668.

FINALLY FRIDAY

GPAC hosts migrants tale “But it would be silly and incorrect to suggest I’m not in there somehow.

“I think any writer is in their work, and in Jurassica much of what the characters experience and talk about reflects my own experiences.”

Jurassica tells the story of Ralph and Sara, who left Tuscany in the 1950s as part of the “populate or perish” scheme.

Together they built a new life in a concrete front yard home in suburban Moorabbin.

Grandson Luca struggles to talk to his father and grandfather until the day Ralph is rushed

Dan Giovannoni’s award-winning multi-generational migrant tale Jurassica comes to Geelong this month during an interstate tour.

Giovannoni won the 2015 Green Room Award for Best New Australian Writing for the play, on an eight-venue tour of Victoria, New South Wales and ACT. The child of migrant parents and grandparents, Giovannoni has often sat in the space between being Australian and being Italian, experiencing a slight disconnect between both.

“This is not my life story by any means,” he said.

to hospital.

Through the unlikely connection of interpreter Kaja, who fled war-torn Belgrade, Luca learns to reconnect.

Performed in Italian and English, Giovannoni’s work deals with very current themes of displacement, home and how our past shapes our future.

And yes, dinosaurs play an important part in it too.

Jurassica opens at Geelong Performing Arts Centre on August 29 as part of the 2018 Deakin University Theatre Season.

Baptist kids in big family When children enrol at Geelong Baptist College they become part of a community that spans from prep to year 12 and beyond.

The college is like one big “family”, according to primary principal Judy Sobey.

“The secondary students are always mixing with primary students,” she says.

“We do a lot of collaborative activities, whether it’s cooking or excursions.

“When they’re going on excursions it’s like having an older brother or sister with them.”

And having secondary and primary students on the one campus has other benefits for the college.

“It can be quite daunting for adolescents starting in year 7,” Judy says.

“But we have a very seamless transition when children go from primary to secondary school.

Geelong Baptist College promotes self-worth and ensures each child can reach their full potential.

ZAC AND AIMEE SMITH

Geelong Baptist College promotes selfworth and ensures each child can reach their full potential, whatever that may be.

The college provides academic, creative, artistic and sporting opportunities for each of its 312 students.

“Whilst we’re an independent school - we’re a smaller school,” Judy says.

“So we know our students very well and we value the individuality of each student.

“And our staff and chaplains are always there for the children.“ Many parents find the school’s consistent but compassionate discipline system reassuring, Judy says.

“They know their child is going to be safe.”

The college had a 25 per cent increase in primary students this year.

“We’re on 34 acres, so we have plenty of room for more,” Judy says.

Sore Feet or Legs? Benefits of dental implants Call Implants replaces the tooth’s root for a secure, permanent replacement option.

ANKLE / ACHILLES INJURY

KNEE / SHIN PAIN

When a patient comes to Norlane Dental Surgery in need of a tooth replacement, dentists provide a thorough explanation of each option to help them fully understand what to expect.

While solutions like dentures and bridges can be great solutions for many people, dental implants are especially beneficial for many reasons.

Instead of a restoration that simply sits on top of the gum, an implant actually replaces the tooth’s root for a secure, permanent replacement option. As a result, patients can experience a number of advantages compared to alternatives.

HEEL PAIN

These include: looking and functioning like a natural tooth, not relying on adjacent teeth for support, no slipping, improved chewing and speaking ability, no extra maintenance and the fact that they’re a permanent tooth replacement.

Dental implants can be used as a single tooth implant or to anchor dentures, depending on the needs and goals of the patient. They can also be used for a fixed bridge to replace dentures.

For more information about implants and how they can improve oral function and aesthetics, contact Norlane Dental Surgery on 5278 2666.

With the cold weather well still here, painful joints, old injuries and arthritic conditions can become more troubling and interfere with daily activities.

The experts at the Foot and Leg Pain Clinic recently addressed what can be done about these pains.

“But now, thanks to advances in medical science and the experties available at our clinics, lower limb pain from injuries, arthritis and degenerative concerns can be treated.”

“We’ve even assisted some to avoid or prolong surgery such as knee replacement.

“Thanks to latest medical research we have a better understanding of the body and how we can assist it to function better and heal itself.

The masters of tinting for any vehicles

BMW MINI JAGUAR LAND ROVER

9 Autumn Street Geelong West

Tintmaster has more than 15 years of experience in the window-tinting industry.

Tintmaster has been so successful it had to move to larger confines in Newtown.

“All our tinters have at least eight years of experience. We tint all cars and specialise in European cars,” Tim Dalton says.

Tintmaster isn’t all about cars - its range of services also extends to home and commercial window applications.

“I have one guy that all he does is house and commercial tinting,” Tim says.

“So he is very specialised and is very knowledgeable in finding what tint is going to suit your house.

“Whether the customer is after privacy, heat protection, UV protection to stop fading of furnishings or just wants to cut out light.

“It’s very different to car tinting. Not one film suits all and there is a lot more variety in house/commercial tinting as there are no rules or legalities on how dark or reflective you can go.”

Tim says the benefits of window tinting are immense.

“Tinting can offer heat protection, UV protection, privacy and security, and there are particular films that can keep the heat in a house during winter,” he explains.

Customer service is paramount to Tintmaster’s mantra, Tim says.

“Reputation in this line of work is everything - the majority of our work comes from recommendations so it is essential that customers are happy with our work,” he says.

Tintmaster is at 21 West Fyans St, Newtown.

Car services, brake checks, fixing clutches – getting these jobs done quickly, efficiently and easily requires a solid handful of essentials.

One is location, or being able to get to and from the mechanic shop readily.

Another is quick access by the mechanic shop to spare parts, which can readily trim a day off the wait for a car’s return.

A third consideration is quality work, the fourth is friendly extra care and the fifth is courtesy pick-up and drop-off.

Geelong Brake and Clutch’s Denis and Lesley Williams have made meeting each of these points articles of faith at their South Geelong business.

Their clients don’t have to fight city traffic to get to them.

Expert advice and product knowledge for all makes and models of vehicles – including off-road and heavy duty vehicles – makes GBC an easy choice.

Superior customer service and care is the icing on the cake.

GBC offers: brake rotors and pads plus rotor machining; drum brake kits and machining; clutch replacement kits and flywheel machining; and an extensive range of suspension parts; driveshaft replacement kits; and a brake and clutch hose fabrication service, all covering most vehicle makes and models including commercial vehicles and 4WDs. “We have a large range of brake and clutch parts usually on hand, making us quicker, easier to access and we take extra care of our customers,” Lesley says.

“We go the extra mile to make people realise that they are important to us. And safety is the key issue too, as we all use the road”.

“We’re also happy to do no-obligation quotes.”

German Focus on the way The next generation Ford Focus won't be on sale in Australia until November but in the overheated Australian sales market it made sense for Ford Australia to release details early.

The Ford Focus is made in Germany and will come here with a choice of three model grades at launch: Trend, ST-Line and Titanium. Body types are five-door hatch and station wagon.

At launch, the all-new Focus will be powered only by a new-design 1.5-litre EcoBoost three-cylinder engine producing 134kW and 240Nm. It will be mated to an all-new eightspeed automatic with paddle shifters.

All models have alloy wheels: 16-inch on the Trend, 17s on the ST-Line and 18-inch on Titanium.

Ford's SYNC3 infotainment system is standard on all three trim levels. It uses a full-colour 8.0-inch touchscreen, in-built voice-activated sat-nav with Traffic Message Channel, MapCare updates, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

Focus Titanium features a 675-watt 10-speaker B&O Play Premium Audio System including sub-woofer.

The Focus ST-Line replaces the existing Focus Sport and has a honeycomb grille, sporty side skirts and rear bumper capped with a chrome-finished twin tail-pipe. The hatch has an integrated boot-lid spoiler.

The ST-Line has sports suspension, a flatbottom sports steering wheel with red-stitching, metallic pedals, wireless smartphone charging as standard. Its dual-zone climate control can be operated via voice activation.

Ford Focus Titanium has leather upholstery and an LED Lighting Package that provides a broader headlight spread as well as automatic high-low beam. Camera-based dynamic bending enables the swivel of the light beam into

HERE THEY COME: The three new Ford Focus variants are due on the market in November. the curve before the vehicle reaches it.

Titanium also features Stop&Go Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Evasive Steer Assist and Lane-Centering as standard. The ACC system helps the Focus maintain a comfortable driving distance from vehicles ahead, and with the addition of Stop&Go, has the ability to bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

ANGLO-SINO: Designed in Britain and built in China, the MG ZS is a neat, attractive and capable small SUV.

Built in China since 2011, MG has now further followed international trends with the release of an SUV. The ZS compact SUV emerged at the end of 2017 with two variantsin almost identical specifications but with different powertrains.

The ZS Excite is priced at $20,990 plus on-road costs, while the Essence comes in at $23,990.

Excite’s impressive list of standard equipment that includes automatic transmission, 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic halogen headlights, front and rear foglights, cruise control and a leather-trimmed, flat-bottom steering wheel.

Essence adds a panoramic, push-button sunroofp.

The only option with either variant is metallic paint for $499 or $599.

The British designers have avoided the curves and swirls of many of the ZS’s competitors and stuck to a traditional two-box design, although large wheel arches around 17-inch look a bit gawky.

MG ZS is surprisingly roomy inside, especially for rear-seat passengers’ legroom The boxy shape provides good headroom even in the Essence with its panoramic sunroof.

The front seats are quite narrow, which, in conjunction with tall side bolsters can make it quite uncomfortable for larger occupants.

The dashboard looks nice with carbon fibre trim and a soft-touch coating to the top. Boot volume is 359 litres, extending to 1166lt with the 60:40 split rear seatbacks folded.

The Excite has a naturally-aspirated, fourcylinder, 1.5-litre unit and four-speed automatic transmission, while the Essence has a three-cylinder 1.0-litre turbo-petrol mated to a six-speed auto.

Power and torque outputs are similar, with the 1.5 peaking at 84kW and 150Nm and the 1.0 at 82kW and 160Nm, although the turbo does peak from 1800rpm compared with the

4500 of the non-turbo.

Drive is only to the front wheels.

MG ZS received a four-star ANCAP rating when tested in December and doesn’t come with autonomous emergency braking or lane departure warning.

Other standard safety features include a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, hill hold control, brake disc wiping and IsoFix child seat anchors in the outboard rear seats.

The 8.0-inch colour touchscreen is crystal clear, sharp and easy to use. Bluetooth pairing is virtually automatic and Apple CarPlay is standard.

No embedded satellite navigation is included, although ZS uses a combination of smartphone and Google Maps.

Three drive modes are available: Urban, Normal and Dynamic. Urban provides lighter and more responsive steering at low speeds and when parking, Dynamic tightens the steering and gives higher damping effects for higher-speed driving, and Normal is in between.

MG ZS is aimed principally at urban drivers and copes just as well as them around town.

Even on the hilly terrain of the M1 motorway north of Sydney it ran smoothly and with an impressively suppressed level of road and wind noise.

During our rural drive we found it could push through corners with more confidence than expected from a relatively boxy vehicle, although there was a fair amount of body roll.

Fuel consumption is listed at 7.1lt per 100km for the Excite and 6.7lt/100km for the turbopetrol Essence. We averaged 7.4lt/100km in the Essence.

The MG ZS has already made a promising start with just over 600 sales in the first half of 2018.

The big question-mark hanging over previous Chinese cars is their build quality, although the ZS comes with the security of a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.

Hawks ‘on the line’

Fish caught from lagoon

By Justin Flynn It doesn’t get much bigger than Geelong versus Hawthorn on the AFL calendar.

What makes this round 21 clash even more absorbing is that both sides need to win - desperately.

The Hawks earned a gritty four-point win against Essendon last week to propel them into fifth place on the ladder.

Geelong lost a nail-biter against Richmond by three points, which now sees it outside the eight.

At first glance, however, the ladder is a bit misleading.

Only percentage separates fourth from eighth and then Geelong and North Melbourne are a game behind. Even Essendon and Adelaide are still in contention at 10th and 11th. And GWS, in fourth spot, is only half a game ahead of the pack.

It’s so even.

The winner of tomorrow’s blockbuster likely plays finals footy.

The Cats have two games to finish the home and away season at GMHBA Stadium against Fremantle and Gold Coast. Let’s not dance around this. Both games will be big wins. Win all three, and Geelong suddenly jumps into top four contention.

Hawthorn should comfortably account for St Kilda in the penultimate round of the season and then faces a huge match against Sydney to finish. With a very healthy percentage, the Hawks are primed to either finish in the top four or earn a home final by finishing fifth or sixth.

Geelong’s percentage is handy, too. Even if it loses tomorrow, two more wins will see it finish in the lower reaches of the eight.

ON THE BITE Adam Van der Lugt

YOUNG GUN: Tim Kelly has had an outstanding debut season. (Rebecca Hosking) 183566 The Cats will be buoyed by their final-quarter performance against Richmond last Friday night.

Gary Ablett had a chance to snatch the lead in the dying minutes, but missed.

The form of Tim Kelly, Joel Selwood and Todd Menegola was eye catching, but it is Geelong’s defence that has taken on all comers this year.

Even without Tom Stewart last week, the Cats restricted the Tigers to 85 from a plethora of forward 50 entries.

Mature-age first-year player Kelly has been outstanding and his numbers are impressive.

For the 13th time this season Kelly had at least 15 touches and kicked a goal. The last player to do that in his debut year was Nathan

Buckley in 1993.

“I thought he was clearly the player that stood above the others in and around the contest,” coach Chris Scott said.

Hawthorn is ranked first in the league for effective disposals this season.

Despite playing only five games this season, Barwon Heads boy Teia Miles is operating at 84.6% efficiency. The versatile small has looked comfortable in defence.

These two sides have a massive rivalry.

Geelong-Hawthorn is one of the biggest tickets in town. Saturday arvo, three weeks before the finals.

We reckon the Cats can get it done by eight points in another thriller.

Tomorrow’s game is at the MCG at 1.45pm.

Warriors onto Zebras after escaping Lions

By Josip Zilic

CLEANING UP: Warriors keeper Hamish Flavell is sitting on consecutive clean sheets.

(Ivan Dugandzic)

12396094-ACM32-18

The Warriors came away from the Lion’s Den with the battle’s three points in hand after a 1-0 win over Eastern Lions last weekend.

But awaiting the Warriors at home this weekend will be Moreland Zebras, which managed a 2-1 win away to Goulburn Valley Suns while continuing its promotion push.

The Zebras will seek to shake off the past two seasons’ disappointments, when they got ever closer to promotion only to fall away at the end of the season.

This year the team seems to have stronger resolve. Helping its cause are tough victories like last week’s as well as the form of Alec Goodwin and Joshua McMonagle-Ihasz, who have put in regular goals with the support of a stable line-up.

North Geelong will like its chances against the Zebras after its own tough win.

In a physical contest, the Warriors were hot off the mark and provided two or three early

attempts that were wasted.

However, soon before half time Jamie Noggler and Darius Madison combined well to stretch the Lions’ defence. Madison provided a well-weighted through-ball for oncoming Ryan Opperman to nicely place out of the keeper’s reach. In the second half the Lions increased their ferocity, leaving the referee busy brandishing yellow cards.

With the lift in tempo from the Lions, they almost broke through for a leveller twice if not for the sublime keeping of Hamish Flavell to deny the home team and take the three points to Elcho Park.

The under-20s undefeated streak continued to six matches for the Warriors who had to fight back at 2-1 down with only 10 men. The team eventually levelled for a 2-2 draw thanks to goals from Daniel Gudasic and Anthony Leban.

This weekend’s action at Elcho Park begins 12:45pm Saturday.

Corio Bay’s grammar school lagoon was made a good fishing option considering the past week’s treacherous weather.

Offering some protection from the wind, the lagoon fished well for species including big winter snapper, flathead and bream.

Fishing the bay’s inner-harbour, particularly land-based, continued to produce bag-limit captures of garfish at all the usual spots like boat ramps and small jetties. Bream made appearances again as well. The Bellarine Peninsula had good numbers of squid present and willing to attack jigs when conditions allowed boats to head out.

Queenscliff Harbour remained a favourite location for soft plastic anglers chasing silver trevally. Fishing either a high or low tide was preferred, with anglers also packing squid jigs as another option within the harbour.

Down west, the fishing around Warrnambool was on fire.

Both the Merri and Hopkins rivers fished fantastically for big brown trout.

Both rivers are exempt from the trout closed season and offer trophy fish right through winter. Bigger, shallowdiving lures around 80mm to 100mm are proven winners on these trout. Anglers shouldn’t be discouraged by dirty water and cast into the top of pools, rapids and any bit of moving water where the fish will be lying awaiting an easy feed.

Anglers who made the drive to Nelson to fish the Glenelg River for mulloway were rewarded with good numbers of big fish. Mulloway over the 60cm minimum limit were common with some were well over 1m.

Live mullet fished on the bottom was productive as well as dead baits like pilchard and squid. The bream fishing was also good and easily accessible for anglers without boats. Using prawns and worms produced bream from the boat ramp and along the bank near the kiosk.

On the freshwater front, Lake Bolac remained a hot spot for big rainbow trout. Using Powerbait or Gulp salmon eggs in orange or yellow was a standout method of targeting fish potentially reaching 3kg.

Fishing from the wooden jetty at Lake Tooliorook, near Lismore, was also productive for fish around 2kg Trelly’s Geelong’s Peri Stavropoulos headed to Kingscliff, New South Wales, with mates Fez and Josh. Fishing aboard Unleashed Sportfishing with Jason Hedges, they caught around 30 kingfish to 15kg and two amberjack around 30kg.
