Victoria's Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton says he stands by decision to close I Cook Foods
By state political reporter Richard Willingham

Victoria's Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton has stood by his decision to close a suburban caterer after listeria was detected in its kitchen, along with poor food safety practices.
The Victorian Parliament has set up an inquiry into the closure of catering company I Cook Foods
The business was closed after the death of elderly woman Jean Painter in the Knox Private Hospital was linked to listeria
The inquiry has been reopened after evidence emerged suggesting Ms Painter may not have eaten I Cook Foods products
A parliamentary inquiry is examining the closure of I Cook Foods in 2019 amid claims from the company that the Dandenong council conspired to close them, including the planting of a slug in its kitchen.
At the time, Professor Sutton was acting chief health officer and closed the business after the death of elderly woman Jean Painter in the Knox Private Hospital was linked to listeria.
A close genetic match from listeria detected in Ms Painter and in food samples at I Cook Foods prompted the closure, given the company provided foods to vulnerable clients including hospitals and nursing homes, the chief health officer said.
There were also dozens of food safety breaches detected at the company's South Dandenong kitchen, Professor Sutton told the inquiry.
"It was clear that investigations of I Cook Foods had identified the presence of Listeria monocytogenes on their premises and inadequacies in their food safety practices,'' he said.
The inquiry was reopened after evidence emerged from a Knox council inspector that suggested Ms Painter may not have eaten I Cook Foods products, with six other suppliers also contracted to the hospital.

Professor Sutton said this evidence, which was given to him after he issued the closure, would not have changed his mind.
The Chief Health Officer and other officials came under fire from Coalition MPs during the hearing about why other suppliers were not tested to see if they were the source of the listeria.
Deputy Chief Health officer Angie Bone said after the business was closed, the department did become aware of other high-risk suppliers to the hospital.

But other routine testing had not shown any cause of concern.
Asked by Liberal MP Craig Ondarchie whether he was convinced he got the decision to close right, Professor Sutton replied: "I am. I accept that there is no single piece of evidence that is definitive."
Daughters back decision to close company
Thursday would have been Ms Painter's 89th birthday. Her daughters also told the inquiry they saw their mother eat packaged sandwiches at the hospital.
Jo Woodstock said the media coverage of the closure had been distressing and lashed out at the company for driving a mobile billboard around the city attacking Professor Sutton.
The daughters backed the chief health officer's decision to close the business.
"We have no interest in conspiracy theories or no political motivations about the decisions taken by any parties in this matter, real or perceived. We just want the facts presented to the inquiry to be correct and the truth to be put into the public arena,'' she said.
Former health minister Jenny Mikakos also fronted the inquiry, backing Professor Sutton's decision.
Ms Mikakos said she did not think anyone in the Health Department acted in an improper way.
I Cook Foods owner Ian Cook said a federal intervention was needed.
"The dishonesty on display today was breathtaking," he said.
"The indisputable facts surrounding our matter clearly won't come out from this state government.
"It's clear only a federal intervention will get to the truth."

The Enduring Legacy of Chief Ouray
October 18, 2020 By // by Patrick McGuire
Historians remain divided whether Chief Ouray's well-intentioned actions ultimately hurt or helped the Ute people who lived in Colorado thousands of years before it became an American state. But most are in agreement about two things: the long-term impacts of his actions for Ute peoples in Colorado and beyond, and his uncompromising desire to seek out peaceful solutions no matter how high the cost, grave the threat, or challenging the circumstance.
A Colorado town and county are both named after the complex and influential Ute leader, whose storied life was filled with true larger-than-life events that would fit seamlessly into a captivating work of fiction.
Chief Ouray of the Southern Utes. Photo: Tony Alter
Ouray, whose name translates to"Arrow" in the Ute language, was born in Abiquiú, New Mexico in 1833. The son of a Jicarilla Apache father and a Tabeguache Ute mother, as children, Ouray and his brother were sent to the town of Taos to work as indentured servants for the Martínez family, which was the largest and most powerful landowner in the region at the time.
While serving the family, Ouray put his intelligence and intuition to use learning about local hierarchical power structures, business, and culture. The knowledge he obtained as a child servant would inevitably help him became a skilled and influential leader later on in life.
On the cusp of adulthood in 1850, Ouray returned to his birthplace to work for relatives of the Martínez family before moving to Colorado. In his twenties, Ouray is said to have picked up Spanish, Ute, and some English in addition to the Apache dialect he already spoke.
Ouray Marries Chipeta
Chipeta Ute Tribe.
Alongside his unique understanding of regional power structures and access to high-profile figures, this linguistic advantage would eventually elevate his position in society to someone who was knowledgable, trusted, and widely respected. In 1859 two years after the birth of his first son and the sudden death of his first wife, Ouray married a considerably younger woman named Chipeta.
Remarkably beautiful and a skilled negotiator, Chipeta became a beloved and well known figure in her own right. Historians believe that Ouray's son was captured by the Lakota tribe in 1862, but what happened to him after the capture remains a subject of debate.
Treaty at Conejos
In the fall of the following year, Ouray's long and important relationship with the US Government began with his work on completing the Treaty at Conejos, a Ute community in the San Luis Valley. Ouray acted as a representative of the Tabeguache people and the prominent signer of a hugely significant treaty for the Utes and other Indigenous peoples in the region.
The treaty relinquished all Ute land east of the Continental Divide as well as Middle Park to the US. The land is said to have already been occupied by white settlers, but the treaty made their occupation legally recognized. The US Congress affirmed the treaty the following year, and payments to the Ute people were arranged. The agreement caused the forced removal of countless Utes from their ancestral homes.
The Treaty of 1868
Ute Territory after Treaty of 1868.
In 1868, Ouray became part of negotiations for another treaty with similarly profound impacts for the Ute people. This one involved the removal of Utes living in the San Luis Valley and the creation of a large reservation located on the Western Slope for all Utes living in the Colorado Territory (Colorado wouldn't become an official US state until 1876).
A broader range of Ute leaders attended meetings to discuss this treaty than the one at Conejos, but the decisions made their didn't represent the wishes and interests of all Ute people. Along with seven Ute representatives, famed US Army officer and frontiersman Kit Carson, Commissioner of Indian Affairs Nathaniel G. Taylor, and others met in Washington D.C. to draft the treaty. At the meeting, Ouray was officially named Chief of all Ute peoples.
The newly formed Ute reservation was comprised of 20 million acres, and the US Government quickly met again with Ouray to obtain more Ute land. Prospectors trespassing on remaining Ute lands found gold and silver deposits there and refused to leave. Rather than adhering to their agreement, Government officials began attempts at acquiring the land for mining interests.
Brunot Agreement

When Ouray and other Ute leaders refused to sell more of their land, chairman of the Board of Indian Commissioners Felix R. Brunot told him he had the ability to reunite him with his captured son, and Ouray was eventually persuaded to give up a mineral-rich four-million-acre piece of land in exchange for a yearly payment to the Utes and hunting rights.
The US had formally declared that it would no longer recognize the sovereignty of Indian Nations in 1871, which made this negotiation an "agreement" rather than a treaty. An annual $1,000 payment for Ouray and Chipeta was also a part of what's now known as the Brunot Agreement.

Meeker Massacre
By the end of the decade, it was clear that the Ute people didn't care for life on their reservation, and in 1879, Ouray was forced to mediate a violent dispute between the Utes he represented and white settlers. The local Government-appointed Indian Agent Nathan C. Meeker was known for his attempts of forcing Utes out of their way of life and into Christianity and farming, attempts that failed every time.

After Federal troops arrived in the area to guard his agency, some Utes felt threatened and responded by killing Meeker and holding his family hostage. Today, historians place blame for the violence on Meeker, but at the time, the event inspired white Coloradans to call for the complete removal of Ute peoples from the state.
Relocation to Northern Utah
Chief Ouray and Chipeta at the 1880 Ute delegation in Washington D.C.
Fearing retaliatory violence and the death of his people, Ouray eventually agreed to a plan to move the Uncompahgre Utes to a permanent reservation in northern Utah in 1880. Few initially agreed to relocate, and as pressure mounted for them to leave, Ouray believed he was tasked with saving the Utes from complete destruction.
On a trip to southwestern Colorado to convince a Ute leader there to sign on to a new peace agreement, Ouray died of a kidney disorder he'd been suffering from for five years. While Utes in southern Colorado were eventually allowed to stay, the Uncompahgre Ute peoples were forced by a 1,000-strong band of US troops to make a 350-mile journey west on foot to the reservation named after their late Chief. Chipeta lived in near poverty to the age of 81 and was never fully paid what she was owed by the US Government.
While many in positions of power use their roles to make life better for themselves, historians describe Ouray as a complex figure who reluctantly represented the Ute people and was often placed in the impossible position of trying to pacify Government officials and protect the lives of his people at the same time.
Historians and modern Ute peoples are divided as to whether Ouray should take the blame for the forced removal of Colorado's northern Utes, but his defenders believe his actions were always aimed at peace and that he may have saved his people from death or even genocide.

Book Review: 'The Hard Thing About Hard Things,' by Ben Horowitz
Born to a family of Marxists, Ben Horowitz now invests in tech startups. Among his winning bets: Twitter and Facebook.
By Daniel Freedman
March 6, 2014 6:49 pm ET
Every entrepreneur has experienced what Ben Horowitz terms "the struggle." That's when things are going really, really badly. It's when, as he puts it in "The Hard Thing About Hard Things," "people ask you why you don't quit and you don't know the answer." But there always is a way, Mr. Horowitz believes, and it's the ability to spot the next move during the struggle that separates winners and losers.
Mr. Horowitz has authority on this subject. He was a successful tech CEO, having co-founded the pioneering cloud-computing company LoudCloud and subsequently overseen its evolution into a software firm, Opsware. He's also one half of the venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. Among the firm's winning bets: Facebook, Skype and Twitter. And he's a former Marxist to boot. Sort of.

Favre, Starr warm fans' hearts
Dec 2, 2015 Updated Nov 7, 2020
Historic Lambeau Field was drenched by a solid rain Thanksgiving Day and night, but it didn't deter thousands of Packers fans from being there.
It was the day the Green Bay Packers unveiled Brett Favre's name and retired number on the walls inside the stadium. An event long in the planning — it lived up to expectations. Favre was also recognized earlier this summer, when he was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame, before another supportive crowd at the stadium.
No. 4 stood in a spotlight in the pouring rain Thanksgiving evening with a typical Brett Favre half-smile, squinty-eyed smirk, but you could tell he was living in the moment. The more-than 78,000 people in the stands — very few of whom left during the half-time ceremony — also "soaked" it up.
Words were said. People were thanked. Fans were cheering.
But the best was yet to come.
From the Packers' entrance to the field, an 81-year-old Bart Starr sat in a roofed cart with his wife, Cherry. On the huge screens that sit high above Lambeau on both endzones, fans could see Starr's smiling face.
A roar as loud, if not louder, than the one which heralded Favre's entrance, resounded in the stadium. Starr, who has struggled with failing health, lit up the dark, rainy night with his joyous smile.
The cheering continued as Starr and his wife rode along the south endzone, up to the 50-yard line and onto the field.
As Starr neared the platform that had been placed at mid-field for Favre's ceremony, Favre jumped down and went to the cart to help Starr to his feet.
The moment was electric. Two of the Packers' favorite sons — together in celebration —likely for the last time.
Much was written about Starr's struggles to overcome recent health setbacks. His family and caregivers encouraged him back to strength with the promise of a special visit to Lambeau Field — the home of his own professional triumphs and where he formed lifelong friendships.
Starr was the only quarterback in NFL history to lead a team to five championships and was the Most Valuable Player of the first two Super Bowls.
Favre, who was the only quarterback to have won three consecutive MVP awards, and held or shared more than 320 NFL records at the time of his retirement, played into his 40s, although the latest years were not with Green Bay.
The Thanksgiving Day ceremony, which was Favre's moment in glory, became Starr's — and Favre was more than willing to share the spotlight. Favre's humility endeared him even more to the fans who have loved him through the great and not-so-great times of his professional football career. He showed, once again, the face of the boy/man who simply loved playing football and who worshipped those legends who came before him.
As the ceremony ended, a still-smiling Starr leaving the stadium in the cart graced the screens above fans, and you could see him saying to his beloved Cherry, "Oh, my God! Oh my God!" in response to the thunderous roar of the crowd.
On a cold, rainy night, Favre and Starr warmed the hearts of not only Packers fans, but the hearts of all those who love the game.
Gotta love 'em: The Green Bay Packers
