Bomber cleared of drug dealing Former Geelong Cats coach Mark 'Bomber' Thompson was cleared of drug trafficking in Melbourne Magistrates' Court yesterday. Magistrate Duncan Reynolds dismissed the trafficking charges but found the possession charges proven. The troubled football legend faced multiple drug possession and trafficking charges after police found methamphetamine and MDA in his Port Melbourne home during a 2018 raid. Police found 33 grams of methamphetamine, 481 MDA pills, an LSD tab, four smoking pipes and scales in his home. The quantities of the drugs were multiple times the minimum amount required to be charged with trafficking, ABC reported.

But Thompson's defence team had argued it made no sense for the former footballer to traffic drugs given his public profile and wealth. Magistrate Reynolds yesterday ruled Thompson had not intended to sell the drugs. Thompson last month admitted to the Melbourne Magistrates' Court he was a "drug-taker" but denied being a dealer. His legal team argued drugs found in a police raid on his home belonged to a convicted drug trafficker who had moved in with him "I'm a drug taker," Thompson told the court. "But I never had any intention of selling drugs." Continued page 2

Bomber clear From page 1 Thompson coached Geelong Cats to two premierships during his 2000-2010 reign at the club before leaving for Essendon Football Club. He stepped in as senior coach of Essendon in 2014 after James Hird was suspended for 12 months over the drug supplements saga. He told court last month he was in a "bad way" when the club dropped him to make way for Hird's return in 2015. Thompson invited convicted drug trafficker Thomas Windsor to move into his home in December 2017. "It was a difficult time," Thompson told the court last month. "I took drugs to mask the pain." Thompson would face the possession charges at a later time or date, a spokesperson said when the Indy went to press.
LOCAL MISSION: Geelong woman Kristi Van Es' charity, Offspring is helping India's sex-trafficking survivors.
Kristi in battle against India sex trafficking CLEARED: A magistrate has cleared Mark “Bomber� Thompson of drug trafficking but found him guilty of drug possession.
Geelong woman Kristi Van Es is on a mission to save India's sex trafficking victims. Kristi tells the latest edition of Geelong Coast Magazine (GC) about her charity Offspring that helps some of the world's most disadvantaged women and girls. "Modern day slavery is another word for human trafficking. It's bigger now then it's ever been," Kristi tells GC. "One of the girls we have is now 21, and she
was trafficked at the age of four." The former Christian College teacher and now chief executive officer first witnessed human trafficking on a trip to India in 2011 after visiting a rescue organisation. Kristi decided to resign from teaching in 2012 to pursue her idea to work with survivors and break the cycle of re-trafficking. "I felt that I couldn't not do something," Kristi says.
For three years Offspring has provided services to trafficking survivors including vocational training, emotional support and education. "Everything we do with the girls is based on trauma-informed care," she says. Full of inspiring stories and pictures of local people, places, issues and ideas, the winter edition of GC is out now at all good local newsagents.
Cr Bell cleared of bullying By Natalee Kerr A Surf Coast councillor accused of bullying and misconduct said he is "extremely relieved" to have been cleared of the allegations last week. Councillor David Bell said he endured "months of stress" after fellow councillor Heather Wellington lodged complaints against him with the Principal Councillor Conduct Registrar last December. Cr Bell said the allegations made him "extremely depressed" and was "glad" a panel hearing held last month dismissed the claims. "Having allegations of bullying and misconduct levelled against me has been a really hard thing to deal with," Cr Bell said.
"(It) had great impact on not only myself, but also my family and friends." Cr Wellington alleged Cr Bell engaged in misconduct by failing to attend an arbitration between the pair in March 2018, but the panel discarded the claim as Cr Bell was "too unwell" to engage in the process at the time. Cr Wellington raised four complaints against Cr Bell, three of which the arbitrator found to have breached the councillor code of conduct. The arbitrator recommended Cr Bell apologise to Cr Wellington, which he did and she accepted. But Cr Wellington then made further complaints against Cr Bell following the arbitra-
tion, including a claim Cr Bell said she "harassed staff". She also alleged Cr Bell's actions amounted to bullying, but this was rejected by the panel. The long-running dispute between the pair started in 2017 when there was a "deterioration in internal relationships between councillors", hearing documents read. Cr Wellington posted on social media this week that she was "happy" the matter was properly considered and accepted the panel's finding. "That is the end of the matter and I hope we can now move on," the post read. The Indy was unable to reach Cr Wellington for further comment.

IN BRIEF
Crisis looms again for local recycling By Luke Voogt Council has taken action to manage impacts on its kerbside recycling collection as processor SKM again closed its Laverton site this week. SKM has a contract with City Hall to process 28,000 tonnes of recyclable material produced by greater Geelong each year. "We are now taking action to manage the predicted downstream impacts on our kerbside collection service in the short term," city services director Guy Wilson-Browne said. "We are in contact with SKM and impressing on them the importance of undertaking the required works and the potential impact on our ratepayers." EPA Victoria this week issued SKM with a notice to stop receiving recyclables at its Laverton site until it reached compliance.
The closure follows a fire on a conveyor belt at the site on Monday and EPA issuing a similar notice a few months ago. Council was also investigating long-term changes to waste collection services with government agencies and groups such as Municipal Association of Victoria, Mr Wilson-Browne said. "This has included extensive research and consultation with the industry." Council would "continue to collect and dispose of residential recyclables in the most environmentally responsible way possible", Geelong Mayor Bruce Harwood said. "But we need the system around us to step up and address the overarching issues facing the recycling industry in Australia." Both he and Mr Wilson-Browne urged ratepayers to buy less packaging, and reuse and re-
purpose waste where possible "We call on the greater Geelong community to take the lead in this issue. Let's actively and dramatically reduce our waste," Cr Harwood said. "Buy in bulk, bring your own containers, don't forget your reusable coffee cup." Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group was seeking conformation from SKM it had alternative provisions in place, its chief executive officer Rob Millard said. Both of SKM's Melbourne plants have had fire emergencies in the past, while a fire in 2018 damaged the company's South Geelong facility. SKM's Geelong recycling centre remained open despite the Laverton closure. The Indy phoned SKM's South Geelong depot but management declined to comment.
Ice bust A Newcomb father caught with thousands of dollars of ice has been jailed for almost five years. The 32-year-old received his sentence at Country Court on Tuesday and has already served eight months in custody.
Office future Geelong council has again delayed its discussion on the sale of the former historic Geelong post office until the end of this month. Council will now reconsider the matter at its meeting on 30 July.
Knife scare Police arrested a 53-year-old Marshall man at a Geelong medical centre on Wednesday afternoon after he allegedly threatened a staff member with a knife. Police charged the man with assault and weapons offences, they said.
Local smash A two-vehicle crash at the Thompson Rd and Separation St intersection in Bell Park on Wednesday has left a woman and man, both in their 60s, hospitalised with injuries, according to Ambulance Victoria. The collision follows another multi-car pileup last week on Thompson Rd that killed a 58-year-old woman.
Damaging winds Geelong and the Surf Coast felt the impact of a wild winds that swept across the state on Wednesday night, with gusts as high as 87km/h recorded in the region. The SES received more than 120 requests for assistance from residents in the southwest, with numerous reports of fallen trees and damaged buildings.
Car impounded An East Geelong man allegedly driving 95km over the speed limit at Bell Park on Saturday night has lost his car for 30 days. Police clocked the vehicle at 77km/h in a 60km/h zone on Creamery Rd, Bell Post Hill, and then at 155km/h in a 60km/h zone on Bluestone Bridge Rd, Bell Park.

Suspicious fire guts Norlane public housing By Luke Voogt A "suspicious" fire on Wednesday morning has gutted a public housing unit at Norlane causing an estimated $150,000 in damage. Six fire trucks rushed to the blaze after neighbours spotted the flames and phoned triple zero at 7.16am, a CFA spokesperson said Firefighters brought the fire under control by about 7.30am, the spokesperson said. "It has been deemed suspicious," they said. Geelong police were investigating the fire in
the Department of Health and Human Services unit, Detective Senior Constable Ben Nash confirmed on Wednesday afternoon. "No one was home at the address at (the time of the fire)," he said. "It hasn't really affected any surrounding units but it's completely gutted the unit that's affected." Firefighters called police into investigate when they could not determine the "exact cause" of the fire, Det Sen Const Nash said.
Police are concerned for a Grovedale teenager who went missing almost a fortnight ago. Fifteen-year-old Tegan Barnett was last seen on 30 June at a Princess Hwy fast food restaurant. Police urged anyone with information to phone Geelong Police Station on 5225 3100.
Detectives spoke to a number of elderly residents in neighbouring properties on Wednesday morning and were continuing their investigation, he said. The fire caused the roof of the unit to cave in and Det Sen Const Nash estimated the fire had caused about $150,000 in damage. He urged any witnesses or anyone with information on the fire to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or the Crime Investigation Unit at Geelong Police Station on 5225 3100.
Dams ‘set for destruction’ despite backlash By Luke Voogt Two dams at a Wallington aged care centre are set for "destruction" according to the leader of a campaign against the controversial project . Campaigner Heidi Wane said a "verbal onsite discussion" revealed landowner TLC Aged Care would "definitely" drain the two large water bodies and fill them. "Many locals feel this is another example of excessive development on the Bellarine (Penisula) which is devastating birds and wildlife." The "lakes" were initially dug to treat waste water generated by the facility, Ms Wane said in a statement. "After nearly twenty years these large bodies of water have become unique eco systems which various bird life, frogs, native long necked turtles (and) insects depend upon. "Attempts to ascertain whether TLC Aged Care intends to rescue and rehouse wildlife humanely have not been successful at (the) geelongindy.com.au
DISGUSTED: Protesters outside TLC's Wallington aged care centre. Picture: GREG WANE time of writing." About 40 people attended two onsite rallies and almost 1500 people had signed an online petition against the project, Ms Wane said. Bellarine MP Lisa Neville, local Animal Justice Party MP Andy Meddick and residents at
the centre had contacted her about the project, she said. "This Aged Care facility, although on private land, is situated beside a major highway making it a very public site, which is visited daily by many members of the public." Council issued the permit for the expansion project more than a year ago, a spokesperson told the Ocean Grove Voice in March. The works included an integrated medical centre, road construction and access as well as some removal of native vegetation, the spokesperson said. "Under the planning scheme there is no cause to stop works undertaken in line with the planning permit." TLC Aged Care had a right to fill in the dams because they were on the company's private property, the spokesperson added. TLC did not respond to the Indy's request for comment.

Servo theft with sledge By Luke Voogt Two males armed with a sledgehammer and knife broke into a Moolap service station to steal cash and cigarettes just before peak hour on Tuesday. The two masked men entered the Portarlington Rd service station about 4pm, police alleged. The store attendant managed to lock himself in an office and was unharmed. The offenders stole cash and cigarettes from the premises before fleeing in a vehicle, police alleged. Police believed that vehicle to be a grey Holden Commodore. They described the first male as having a solid build and said he was wearing a grey
hoodie, grey pants and brown boots at the time of the robbery. The second male had a solid build and was wearing a black hoodie, dark pants and black runners. Police later spotted the alleged getaway car traveling north along the Western Ring Rd and initiated a short pursuit before terminated it for safety reasons. The car was last seen travelling between Fitzgerald Rd and Ballarat Rd. Police were continuing their investigation when the Indy went to press. They urged anyone with information to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential online report at www. crimestoppers.com.au.
LOCAL CENTENARIAN: Grandmother Muriel Hyatt celebrated her 100th birthday this week with Picture: REBECCA HOSKING granddaughter Carlee Dare. 195367

A Geelong grandmother who celebrated her 100th birthday this week has credited farm work for her happy life. The eldest of three children, Muriel Hyatt left school at age 14 to work on her family's farm in Weering, 30km north of Colac. "I wish I was back on the farm," the centenarian said, as she reflected on fond memories of milking the cows and riding farm horse Snowy. The lifelong Geelong Cats supporter said she "loved playing football with the boys" and "going to grandmas and grandpas for Christmas" growing up. "We used to go out in the pool and kick footballs," she said. "I also remember we had a big plum pudding." Muriel married husband Bill in 1943 and lived in Geelong with their three children from the 1970s where they also opened a Fyans St milk bar. Bill passed away 26 years ago, but Muriel continued to live independently in Belmont until the age of 96.
Nowadays she resides at a nursing home where she participates in daily activities and watches the nightly news. Muriel celebrated her 100th birthday on Wednesday, with a small gathering of family and friends. But when she was told she would be reaching the milestone, she jokingly responded "I'm 103" followed by "I'm not having a birthday, I don't want any fuss". Muriel said she has never experienced any health problems besides "having a cold". "Sometimes I used to pretend I had a nasty cold to get out of school," she laughed. "It worked for a while until they got to know me." The 100-year-old never smoked, drank or drove, but Muriel said there was no secret to her longevity. "I don't know how I made it to 100. I thought I wouldn't get to 100 because I had too much to do in the cow yard," she said. Youngest grandchild Carlee, 26, said her "loving and caring" Nan always enjoyed supporting her six grandchildren and dedicated her life to looking after other people. "Anything we did, she was there," she said. geelongindy.com.au

Time call for council laws By Luke Voogt
DOG ACT: Owners are disregarding leashing regulations on the Surf Coast research has found and, inset, researchers attach a GPS collar. Pictures: THOMAS SCHNEIDER
Calls for tougher leash laws By Natalee Kerr Surf Coast beaches need "tougher" dog laws with a majority of owners ignoring regulations, according to recently-published Deakin University research. The study found compliance with laws was "low", with 70 per cent of dogs being walked at on-leash beaches were actually off-leash, threatening local wildlife. Deakin Associate Professor Mike Weston suggested council replacing some on-leash areas with no-dog zones. "Clearly regulations aren't effective and other management options need to be considered," he said. Torquay dog walker Jasmine Arthur said owners were "definitely" ignoring leash regulations. "You see it all the time," she said. The Jan Juc to Bells Beach track was one of the "worst" areas for misbehaving dogs, despite "plenty" of signs outlining the rules, she said.
"It's an on-leash area but in so many instances I've been there and dogs will just be running freely." But replacing on-leash areas with no-dog zones would be "unfair" on those doing "the right thing", she said. Researchers attached GPS trackers to more than 160 dogs to monitor them on eight beaches between Point Lonsdale and Anglesea. But shire's environmental manager Ransce Salan said council officers had implemented various measures since the data was collected in 2012, including patrols of well-known hooded plover breeding areas. Mr Salan said council preferred an "education first" approach rather than issuing a $165 fine for an off-leash dog in an on-leash zone. "Rangers explain the regulations to people who have their dog off-lead in an on-lead area," he said. Council would not make any "major changes" to dog regulations until at least 2021, said Mr Salan.
Geelong's council has opposed new laws allowing the dismissal of councillors in community-initiated inquiries, calling for more time to consult ratepayers. Council on Tuesday voted unanimously against the introduction of the Local Government Bill 2019 after councillor Kylie Grzybek raised an urgent business notice. "The proposed changes are significant and we have not had the opportunity to properly consult our community to find out what they think of them," she said. State Government announced six proposed reforms on 17 June, allowing 30 days for councils to gather feedback and provide a submission. If passed the bill would: simplify enrolments for voters in council elections, introduce mandatory training for election candidates and councillors, cap electoral campaign donations and gifts, allow the dismissal of a councillor after a community-initiated Commission of Inquiry, define conduct for councillor behaviour and make dealing with issues faster and easier, and introduce a preference for single member wards to make councils more accountable. The proposed return to single-councillor wards was of "particular interest" given council had only just moved to multi-councillor wards on the recommendation of a 2015 Commission of Inquiry, Cr Grzybek said. The reforms complement previous mea-

Ratepayers Geelong believed the bill was "long overdue", despite concerns and scepticism over some proposed reforms, the group's spokesperson Andrew Senia said. The reforms would help foster transparency in councils, he said. But Cr Grzybek was "right" to request further consultation, Mr Senia said.

Fee backflip costs $500K By Luke Voogt Council's reversal of controversial parking fee hikes has left a $500,000 to $600,000 hole in its 2019/2020 budget, City Hall has confirmed. Councillors voted in a special meeting last Thursday to reverse the unpopular changes that saw fees more than double in some car parks. Changing the affected fees back to 2018/2019 prices would have "potential budget impacts" of $500,000 to $600,000 per year, customer and corporate services director Michael Dugina said. "The estimated financial impact is developed with consideration to historic use and potential parking pattern changes due to fee increases." But City Hall anticipated the roll back would have no effect on council works or services, Mr Dugina assured ratepayers. "The City does not foresee any implication to delivery of current services or the 2019/2020 capital program," he said. Mr Dugina declined to detail if council would loan money or take other measures to cover the revenue loss. "In any year, there will be numerous budget fluctuations and variations, which will be measured and managed as we progress through the year," he said. Councillors Anthony Aitken and Eddy Kontelj last week slammed the fee hikes, which occurred without advertisement. The changes saw some all-day parking fees rise last Monday from $5.80 to $13, a 125 per cent increase.
At the meeting council unanimously agreed to reverse the following increases: • Capped all-day on-street parking from $13 back to $5.80; •Three-hourparkingcappedfrom$7backto $5.80; • Four-hour parking capped from $8 back to $3.50; and • Four-hour high occupancy parking capped from $9 back to $5.80. Council instructed City Hall officers to review the oversight and other budgeted 2019/2020 fees to identify if other increases occurred without consultation. Council also ordered a review into its processes for setting fees and instructed officers to develop an improved consultation strategy for subsequent budgets. Council chief executive officer Martin Cutter and Geelong Mayor Bruce Harwood apologised for the oversight. "We feel the angst in the community and we have taken steps to make sure this doesn't happen again," Cr Harwood said. Councillors were not aware of the increases when they voted on the budget earlier this year, deputy mayor Peter Murrihy said. "This is a most unfortunate position we find ourselves in - embarrassing and unavoidable. Unfortunately, as long as there are humans involved, there will be human error." The fees reverted back to 2018/2019 prices on Monday.
FUNDING NEED: Sally Marshall and 'Casper' are getting behind Geelong Animal Welfare Society's winter appeal.
Chilly appeal for furry locals By Natalee Kerr As the cool winter nights set in, Geelong locals are being encouraged to dig deep to support the region's homeless four-legged friends. Geelong Animal Welfare Society (GAWS) has kicked off its annual winter appeal, with this year's goal to raise more than $20,000. "As our shelter receives no government funding, we rely heavily on the support from the local community," explained fundraising manager Cara Kirwin. "Sponsorship and donations help us continue to provide rescue, care and shelter for dogs, cats and pocket pets that find themselves lost and alone facing freezing temperatures." The appeal had raised more than $12,000 since launching last month, Cara said.
"We're on the way, but we need more help. "The support from the community helps us to continue delivering our vital services. Every single donation is important to us." The not-for-profit organisation provides quality care for hundreds of lost animals each year, giving them the "second chance" to find their "forever homes". Cara also urged locals to consider adopting a new pet to join their family. "Ultimately we want our rescued animals to be in warm homes this winter," she said. "We want to reduce their length of stay here and see them go to loving homes as soon as possible." Head to https://www.gaws.org.au/donatenow to make a donation or visit the shelter at 325 Portarlington Rd, Moolap.

Nominee kicks off award By Luke Voogt Nothing beats helping all-abilities players kick goals on and off the footy field for Club Legend nominee Jai Smith. "Just seeing the smiles on their faces and their parents' faces makes it all worth it," he told the Indy. "Watching them get their first-ever kick in a game and high-fiving them is the most amazing thing I've ever done - and I get to do this every day." The Charlemont landscaper became the first nominee in this year's Club Legend award for volunteering as head coach of Geelong Dragons Football Club's two all-abilities teams. "I was very surprised and humbled," he said. Jai began coaching the club in "enemy territory" at Bell Park last year following a local footy career at St Joseph's in the GFL. "I'm long retired mate, I'm 43 now," he said. "If I played now I'd probably break my neck." One of the team's founders asked him to help out in 2018 over coffee, Jai said. "Little did I know I was being interviewed for the head coach position." But the 20 or so players in the inaugural team soon won Jai over. "We all get along like a house on fire," he said. "Anyone who comes in touch with them absolutely loves them." Despite having no experience in the disability sector, the "amazing" players made coaching easy for Jai. "And it's really opened my eyes to challenges these guys and girls face day in, day out," he said. "They've taught me more about myself

The club has grown to 75 players under Jai and fields two sides in Victorian Football Integration Development Association (FIDA) Football League for players with intellectual disabilities. "We're also a pretty bloody good team," he said. Although he admitted getting all 75 players
to listen at training could be "extremely entertaining". "You've got some that scream and shout and others that are very quiet and brooding," he said. His two sons also helped the club's younger players, he said. Jai had enriched the lives of many young people previously unable to play footy, his
nomination said. The nomination was the first of many this week for the Viva Energy Club Legend awards, with $55,000 in prize money up for grabs. The top male and female volunteers (over 35) will win $5000 each for themselves and their club. Nominations are open until midnight on 23 July.

From dish boy to award-winning entrepreneur, Geelong-born chef Tom Arnel thanks a schoolies trip for starting his international success. The former St Joseph's student was accepted into economics at Deakin University but "never turned up" after something else grabbed his interest. "I went to schoolies at Lorne and I ended up getting a job as an apprentice chef while I was there," he said. "The kitchen seemed way more exciting than an economic degree." The 33-year-old is causing a stir in Dubai since moving almost a decade ago and cofounding hospitality empire Bull & Roo, which currently runs six eateries. The young managing director also recently
won the prestigious Restauranteur of the Year at the 2019 Caterer Middle East Awards. But despite his success, Tom's career started from local humble beginnings as a dishwasher at former Geelong pub The Preston Hotel when he was 14. He worked his way up the industry before moving to Dubai and launching a "Melbourneinspired" cafe in 2013. So what Australian meals feature at Tom's restaurants in Dubai? "Avocado on toast is a massive one. Poached eggs are a big thing too," he said. The father-of-three said his "dream" is to one day own an eatery in his hometown. "I have more than 250 employees now, including young people from Geelong," he said. "I'd love to open a restaurant in Geelong. It would be great to come back to do that in the years to come."
Costa quits board post By Luke Voogt Geelong produce mogul Frank Costa has retired as non-executive director of fresh food giant Costa Group, the company announced last Friday. Mr Costa last Thursday stepped down from the position in the company that he founded but would remain an adviser to the board, according to an ASX announcement. In recent years after stepping back from an executive role, Mr Costa was non-executive director of Costa since 2015 when the group went public. Mr Costa said at 81-years-old "the time was right" for him to step back from the board to spend more time with family. "I have been delighted with the growth and quality of the business as it has become the country's leading horticultural group, which continues to set new standards in technology and sustainability across its portfolio." Costa Group chair Neil Chatfield praised Mr Costa's "enormous contribution" and "wise counsel" in helping guide the company as it evolved. "On behalf of the board, I want to sincerely thank Frank for his invaluable contribution to the board and we are delighted that Frank has accepted a role as advisor," Mr Chatfield said. "We are grateful that he is prepared to continue to devote his time to provide ongoing support and guidance to the company." Costa shares were trading at $4.26 on Wednesday, half the share price of $8.47 in August 2018. In May the group's shares plummeted following reports of produce issues, with the steepest drop of $1.43 from $5.18 to $3.75 occurring during 30 and 31 May. Costa is Australia's leading grower, packer
STEPPING BACK: Frank Costa has retired as non-executive director of Costa Group. 169642 Picture: LOUISA JONES and marketer of fresh fruit and vegetables, according to the company's investor website. Operations include approximately 4,500 planted hectares of farmland, 30 hectares of glasshouse facilities and seven mushroom growing facilities across Australia. According to the company's most recent annual report released in April, Mr Costa still holds 31 per cent of company shares. Frank Costa and brother Adrian bought produce store Geelong Covent Garden from their father in the early '60s, turning it into a thriving business. Mr Costa had been a key player in the Australian produce industry since and was president of Geelong Football Club from 1998 to 2011. Friday, 12 July, 2019

MPs feud on farm ‘threat’ By Luke Voogt Local farmers need protection from "unlawful" animal activist "invaders" in state law, a coalition MP has warned. Member for Western Victoria Bev McArthur called on State Government to introduce legislation that "properly penalises" animal activists trespassing on agricultural land. "To not do so, will rightly be construed as tacit support for these unlawful activities," she said. "Our farmers and other primary producers should not have to live in fear of the invasion of their property and privacy by animal activist offenders."
Mrs McArthur welcomed a recent Morrison Federal Government bill to establish new offences for perpetrators of trespass, property damage, theft and biosecurity breaches on agricultural land. The bill, currently before federal parliament, would introduce sentences of up to five years' jail and fines of $12,600 for farm "invaders", thieves and vandals, she said. Mrs McArthur urged State Government to follow the Commonwealth's example, citing $1 fines for thieves who stole goats last year from the now closed Gippy Goat Cafe. "The Victorian Government must stand up for farmers across Victoria to ensure the penalties for farm theft and biosecurity risk fit the
serious crimes currently being perpetrated," she said. Mrs McArthur also took aim at Torquay MP and fellow Member for Western Victoria Andy Meddick. "Mr Meddick will likewise have to decide whether he supports farmers or activists," she said. But Mr Meddick said the federal laws were about segregating "whistle-blowers" rather then protecting farmers. "Unlike (state) opposition's obsession with convincing the public that farms are constantly being invaded, this is far from reality," the Animal Justice Party MP said. "Once again the opposition is making false
claims about assault and homes being invaded and deliberately setting country against city. "This is deplorable behaviour and they should hang their heads in shame." Public awareness of animal cruelty had only resulted from "brave activists risking their safety to uncover the truth", Mr Meddick said. "While the lack of transparency within the animal agriculture industry continues, these actions by animals activists will also continue." A current Victorian parliamentary inquiry into the impact of animal rights activism on agriculture should prioritise making "recommendations on how animals are treated", he said. "Then there would be no need for any of these activities."
City Hall’s NAIDOC unveiling 'Voice. Treaty. Truth. Let's work together for a shared future' would further open dialogue between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. "NAIDOC Week is always a special time in our region, and there is so much to celebrate and be proud of," he said. "Council is working on improving outcomes for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, with our first Reconciliation Action Plan. "This framework will guide the City's strategies and activities with our Aboriginal residents." Council's NAIDOC Week 2019 includes various events such as The City Presents: An Evening with Aunty Eleanor Bourke and Professor Sarah Maddison.

Geelong's council unveiled an Acknowledgement to Country plaque at City Hall on Monday as part of its NAIDOC Week commemorations. The week, which began on Sunday, celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Council's diversity portfolio chair Sarah Mansfield described NAIDOC week as a chance to learn about Geelong's "rich and diverse" Indigenous culture. "It also encourages our community to engage in open, truthful dialogue, and reflect on how we can enable self-determination for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people," Cr Mansfield said. She and Mayor Bruce Harwood unveiled the plaque that acknowledged "Wadawurrung Traditional Owners of this land" and other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in Geelong.

LETTERS Coverage made show winner It was very pleasing that supporters, artists and attendees at the Geelong Region Cancerians 2019 Inaugural Art Show, held over the Queen's Birthday weekend at Sacred Heart College, declared the event a great success. The articles published by the Geelong Indy over the two weeks leading up to the art show were definitely a winner, according to a number of people who visited over the three days. Many who attended said they came along as a result of reading about the event, knowing that Paul McDonald Smith OAM would be the art show judge, and learning of the Geelong Region Cancerians' aim to raise awareness about uterine cancer and funds for research into all cancers. I offer my sincere thanks the Geelong Indy and its journalists for their stories and for contributing to the Geelong Region Cancerians' goal that by working together we can help beat cancer.

The building celebrates its centenary in 2021, with volunteers compiling a book to document the heritage-listed building's history. Over the years many people ventured to Longreach to carry out the valuable and demanding work of ambulance bearers, or officers. For the book we are seeking contributions from relatives or friends of those who served as bearers. Anyone who would like to contribute can send information to 158 Ibis St, Longreach, Queensland, 4730, or alternatively contact me by phoning 0488 986 557 or emailing elaineb1@tpg.com.au.

Take a hike over parking Councillor Eddie Kontelj was all over Geelong media announcing free half-hour parking in Geelong. He did not tell us that after 30 minutes we'd all pay through the nose to park in the city. Who did Geelong's council think it was fooling? Did it think nobody would notice if it left the hiked parking prices out of the budget because we would be too busy celebrating the "free" first 30 minutes?

Wrong, bizarre about climate Seldom have I seen a letter so full of misinformation as Bruce Fletcher's in the Geelong Indy last week. He believes that in the past 20 years no scientific articles have challenged the global warming religion, which is untrue. There have been thousands, including over 200 this year. He said science says man-made global warming is an absolute fact but nothing in science is ever irrefutable, which is also untrue. Albert Einstein said: "100 experiments can't prove me right but a single experiment can prove me wrong". Mr Fletcher believes that coal plants take five days to start but a modern plant can take as little as eight hours! He believes that wind and solar are 'dispatchable', which is truly bizarre. A dispatchable electricity plant is one that can produce electricity on demand, but wind and solar can only produce when the wind is blowing or the Sun is shining. He believes that with plenty of batteries we can run a modern electricity grid without coal or gas because "they are not dispatchable". Duh! Twenty years ago, before renewables, we had the world's most-reliable and cheapest electricity system, which had coal plants producing constant 24/7 baseload power, with daily peak demand met by gas and hydro plants. Meanwhile, back in the real world, countries like China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Turkey, Indonesia, The Philippines and Egypt et cetera are building around 1000 new coal plants and must be amused at the stupidity of the west.

given daily oxygen and parity and blended in with indigenous signature statements? As one nation, shouldn't 'acknowledgement of country' include, along with traditional owners of the land, a mention of immigrants contributions? The nation's building blocks, prosperity and safety nets are the result of the work ethic, sacrifices and talents, in the main, of those who have come from the four corners of the globe, more often than not from war-torn, repressive, class-riddled countries and regimes. Isn't it also fair to say that Advance Australia Fair, composed and written in 1878, fails to adequately recognise, in a respectful and judicious manner, both indigenous and immigrant Australians? Rather than tampering with the anthem, isn't it time to call for something new, succinct and inclusive? Finally, the 46th federal parliament has Ken Wyatt as the first indigenous Minister for Indigenous Affairs. From a humble Stolen Generation upbringing at Western Australia's Roelands Mission farm, he is a quiet Australian and an exceptional politician who has done the hard yards. One wishes him well and that, hopefully in concert with the Governor-General's thoughts and bi-partisan support, indigenous history and migrant contribution can be equitably
blended into the national fabric because unity trumps disenfranchisement. Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Family trio joins in Music By Luke Voogt Three generations of a Geelong family will appear onstage together for the first time this month in a local production of The Sound of Music. Howard Dandy, 72, joins daughter Sarah Jeffreys and granddaughter Elyssa in a "special" play for the threatre veteran of 40 years. "It's been lovely," he said. "I consider it an honour and privilege every time I get on stage but as I'm sort of getting near the end I appreciate it even more." Howard plays close friend to the von Trapps 'Uncle Max' in the show running at Geelong Performing Arts Centre from 19 July to 3 August. Elyssa plays Louisa von Trapp while Sarah plays a nun. Howard has performed alongside Sarah and Elyssa separately but never with both at once. His daughter and granddaughter developed a love of acting from watching him in other shows, he said. "They saw how much I enjoyed it and they were drawn to it because they love to sing and dance." The trio had little time to socialise during busy rehearsals, Howard said. "But we're there when we need each other." Making friends at rehearsals was the best part of for 40 years of theatre, Howard said. "And after rehearsals you feel 20 years younger than you really are because casts are made up predominately of younger people." He had continued to audition for plays despite his age, he said. "They're going to darken up my hair and try to make me look a little bit younger. If one day they say I'm too old I won't be offended, I'll just go home."
FAVOURITE THINGS: Howard Dandy and his daughter and granddaughter, Sarah and Elyssa Jeffreys, perform together on stage this month in a Geelong version of The Sound of Music.
Sarah returns after a long absence from the theatre, while her mother and aunt are making costumes for the show. "I'm 42 now and my last production was when I was 16," she said. "I guess I got back into it when my daughter's interest started at age 7." Watching Howard when she was a child inspired Sarah to act.
"But now (I) realise how much preparation goes into (his performing)" she said. "He's meticulous with his preparation and it's always very inspiring to see. "Dad sees every show as possibly the last. If (so) it's a great way to share it together. "I wouldn't say my talent level's the same as theirs, they have that on me. But I have the fun and the passion."
Elyssa, 12, also drew inspiration from granddad. She first performed with her 'Papa' in a Geelong production of Annie at age 7 and was "excited" about the upcoming show. "Every time he does a show a show he says it's going to be his last one and that it's special," she said. "But he keeps doing them."

Noiseworks lead returns By Luke Voogt
TAKE ME BACK: Jon Stevens comes to Gateway Hotel on 3 August.
1238631-RC32-16
12422679-FA28-19
Noiseworks front man Jon Stevens will bring iconic hits of his original band and classics of former compatriots INXS to Geelong next month. The 58-year-old singer was excited to hit the road for the first leg of the tour near Dubbo on Saturday, he told the Indy. "Being an older artist is the best," the Kiwi expat said last Friday. "You're not driven by that ego anymore, you're driven by sharing a lifetime of experiences and music that meant something, and still does." Stevens will play all the hits that made Noiseworks famous, like Take Me Back and Touch, plus INXS classics to get the whole crowd rocking at Gateway Hotel on 3 August. "People just love hearing that stuff," he said. "Times have changed but people really don't. They're great songs and they should still be heard live. "That is all you are going to hear, songs from your youth, and songs you grew up with iconic songs from both bands." Nothing beat crowds singing along, he said. "When people know every song that you're playing it's a great feeling. "It's just a big old singalong and you just go, 'man, it doesn't get any better'. What else is there?" Stevens last visited Geelong in 2016 on tour with Daryl Braithwaite, Kate Ceberano and
John Paul Young. "I know, it's been a while since I've played in Geelong," he said. "There's so many places you try to get to and for whatever reason they get left off." Jon had just come off the soldout Red Hot Summer Tour, where he and his band played the hits of Noiseworks and INXS, he said. "You've got 10,000 people just going bananas when you are playing those songs," he says. "It makes you realise you have to keep playing them. My job is to make sure everyone has the maximum best time possible." Stevens moved to Australia in 1981 after recording a successful solo album in New Zealand. On Melbourne Cup Day, 1982, he "got pissed down at the pub" in Sydney with AC/ DC and INXS manager Michael Browning, who introduced him to Stuart Fraser. He and Fraser would go on to found Noiseworks, which made the top ten on the Australian charts several times. He also fronted INXS from 2000 to 2003 after the death of the iconic Michael Hutchence in 1997. "You can't take over from Michael," he said. "But we all knew each other back in the day and we all played with each other. In Australia it's a small industry and everyone knows everybody. "Michael was on the last Noiseworks album. It was a very natural fit. I love that band and their songs."

Night Fever - Bee Gees Revival is the "closest" replication to a Bee Gees concert, according to group member Phil Splitter. "We're not just a bunch of guys singing their songs," he said. "Our recreation of their sound is spot on, we really work on getting the harmonies right." Splitter, who plays the role of Robin Gibb, said the "completely live and authentic" twohour show also comes with a "difference". "We've added some entertainment to it, which is something Bee Gees concerts weren't necessarily known for having," he said. "It's like you're at a Bee Gees concert but with the addition of a bit of humour and fun." Joined by members Roy Kossena and AJ Leonard, the Melbourne-based group take on the "timeless" music of the rock and disco legends spanning more than four decades. "It's music that's hard to hate," Splitter said. "They're well written, well-crafted and well recorded songs and we try to replicate it as best we can." Backed by a five-piece band of "very talented musicians" the show also features some exciting costume changes, Splitter said. "You hear people gasp when they see us on stage, at first glance it's like 'oh my god it's the Bee Gees'," he said. "It takes people back, it lets them relive their past and makes them feel young again." Splitter, a lifelong Bee Gees fan, said the group inspired his passion for singing and performing from an early age. "They became big right when I was learning

But Splitter said it wasn't until becoming part of the tribute act that he formed a "real appreciation" for the trio. "Now as a singer-songwriter I can respect how good they truly were," he said.
"Once I could understand the technical difficulties they faced in creating such great music, my love for them has got even bigger." Splitter said he still loves playing all the hits after more than three years with the band. "If you asked me when I first joined how long do you reckon you'd do it? I'd say maybe a year," he said.
"But a few years on and I'm not sick of it at all and have no plans of stopping anytime soon." "Seeing people's smiles and eyes light up when you're performing is just the best thing." Night Fever - Bee Gees Revival comes to Club Italia on 27 July.

LOOK GOOD, FEEL GREAT
Foot and leg tips for kids Children's foot and leg issues are common and should be checked by an experienced musculoskeletal podiatrist. The experts at Foot and Leg Pain Clinics have more 20 years experience and are here to clarify some common conditions. "With proper diagnosis and correct treatment most foot and leg pain issues, injuries and development disorders can be addressed quite easily," says Dr David Kavanagh from the Geelong West clinic. Back of Heel Pain If your child has pain in the back of the heel
or Achilles area, it requires investigation. Commonly referred to as Servers Disease this can cause significant disruption to children's sporting activities. Flat Feet Contrary to popular belief the appearance of flat feet in children is not usually cause for concern. However, if there is associated pain, balance issues or excessive rolling inward of the ankles, parents should seek professional advice. Pigeon Toes and Duck Feet The appearance of in-toeing or out-toeing can affect the capacity of a child to run, jump and

balance. These issues may be assisted during a child's developmental years and should be checked as soon as possible. Growing Pains Common in children and teenagers, growing pains often cause deep ache-like knee, heel or leg pain during the night. These are often due to an overstrain of the growth plates of growing bones, and should always be checked for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Shin Pain Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), anterior leg pain and compartment syndrome, all
commonly referred to as shin splints, are quite common and can be well managed or prevented with proper treatment. Knock knees and Bowed Legs These can be a normal growth presentation, however can cause pain and affect activities. Bowed legs can also be one of the main genetic pre-dispositions to arthritis of the inside of the knee, but with correct management pain can be assisted and function improved to help prevent future arthritis.

Preventive dentistry is the practice of caring for oral health to prevent avoidable damage to teeth, gums, and the mouth. Periodic check-ups and cleans every six months are recommended, along with X-rays every two years, to detect and prevent the beginnings of any problems so treatment can begin before serious damage occurs. Specifically, professional cleans are able to clean much more efficiently and are able to remove what regular brushing and flossing cannot. Ultrasonic scaling and manual scaling can remove plaque and tartar better than a toothbrush. Dentists can use X-rays to view between teeth and teeth roots for decay or damage. Delaying treatment could mean that simple fillings turn into a problem needing a root canal and a crown or an extraction, hence the adage that dentistry isn’t expensive but neglect is.
With the Child Dental Benefit Scheme (CDBS) provided by Medicare, preventive dentistry for children aged two to 17 is now more accessible. Medicare provides $1000 every two calendar years, allowing early diagnosis and prevention for those eligible. With CDBS children can receive important treatment to prevent further problems such as cavities as well as treatments like fissure sealants, which fill grooves in teeth that could harbour bacteria and potentially cause decay. Norlane Dental Surgery bulk-bills for children eligible for CDBS, meaning no out-ofpocket payments for treatments including examinations, routine cleaning, fillings and root canals. More information and appointments are available by phoning Norlane Dental on 5728 2666 or emailing at reception@norlanedental. com.au.

MASTER BUILDERS VICTORIA AWARDS
Champions at split-level Craig Drought and Drew Larkin at the Master Builders Victoria awards with MC Geoff ‘Coxy’ Cox.
Builders’ MBV winning run Larkin and Drought Homes' latest win at the Master Builders Victoria awards is one of many over the past decade. The builder recently won the best home from $1 million to $2 million in southwestern Victoria and is in the running for the statewide award. “It's a good category to win because the competition is really strong,” says company co-owner Drew Larkin. “Owners Kara and Chris Briggs worked on the amazing design with renowned architect Kate Fitzpatrick (Auhaus Architecture) and the end result speaks for itself.” It continues a decade-long run at the awards that includes Drew winning Victorian Young Builder of the Year in 2013. The Barwon Heads father-of-two began as a joiner-carpenter two decades ago and joined forces with Ocean Grove carpenter Craig
Drought in 2006. Since then Larkin and Drought Homes have won several awards at Master Builders, with Drew and Craig taking immense pride in their small but close-knit team. “Our team of tradesmen are really easy going, work well together and take a lot of pride in each and every project regardless of the size,” he said. Their sharp finish and focus on sustainability through design and construction stages means happy clients spread their reputation for high-quality work. “We've formed some really good relationships with our clients,” Drew says. “We also have some really cool projects on the go at the moment around the Surf Coast, including large a architectural single-storey home among the yellow gums and some twoand three-storey custom concrete homes.”
RJ Hill Homes’ recent win at the Master Builders Victoria awards was a flagship project for what the building company does best. The company's new Ocean Grove house recently won Best Custom Home $600,000$800,000 for southwestern Victoria. “We specialise in split-level custom architecturally-designed homes,” says company director Rik Hill. “It was a very intricate build - over three split levels - and a very demanding job from a technical stand point.” The Ocean Grove father-of-four is thrilled to receive recognition for the build. “It was great to work with Rhys at Rappel Design Studios to create such a remarkable home," he says. “We put a lot of work into that particular project, all made easier as the clients were fantastic to work with.” RJ Hill Homes provides a “whole service”, collaborating with architects and guiding clients from designs, plans and permits right through to handover, Rik explains. Service is the other major focus for Rik and his team. “If you get the relationship side of things right with the client it just makes things so much better for every project,” he says. Rik has worked in the industry for 23 years after starting his carpentry apprenticeship in the UK and moving to Australia in 2009. When he and his nurse wife are not busy

The new MINI John Cooper Works GP is still in its final stages of development and the manufacturer has put out some teaser information by way of a media release. It tells us the John Cooper Works GP will be, "by far the fastest and most powerful MINI ever to be approved for use on the road". It will be powered by a four-cylinder engine with an output of more than 220kW and featuring MINI TwinPower Turbo Technology. Standout body features are large front and rear aprons and a striking roof spoiler. It's not just all show as under the skin is an extensive use of lightweight materials. Drawing on John Cooper Works expertise the suspension developed specifically for the GP is adapted to the high output of the engine. The last MINI generation set a NurburgringNordschleife record lap time for its class of 8.23 minutes, which MINI boasts is faster than many a sports car from higher segments. New John Cooper Works GP aims to beat that time. A limited edition of just 3000 MINI John Cooper Works GP is to be produced.
FEISTY: The upcoming new Ford Focus ST means serious business.

The all-new Ford Performance Focus ST isn't going on sale until early 2020, but Ford Australia is well aware of buyer interest and so has published advance information on it. A new generation of Ford's 2.3-litre EcoBoost all-aluminium four-cylinder engine is the most powerful ever offered for a Focus ST. It delivers 206kW, an increase of 22kW over its predecessor, and 420Nm of torque, up from 360Nm. Innovative anti-lag technology developed for the Ford GT supercar is introduced to the Focus ST, for immediate power delivery in Sport mode and, as part of the optional Performance Pack, in Track mode. Anti-lag keeps the throttle open when the driver lifts off the accelerator pedal, alleviating the reversal of airflow from the turbocharger to maintain compressor wheel speed and enabling boost pressure to build faster on demand. For the first time, Focus ST will be available with an automatic transmission. The intelligent seven-speed unit has Adaptive Shift Scheduling that assesses individual driving styles to optimise gearshift timings. Naturally there are steering-wheel-mounted paddle-shifters. The Focus ST's six-speed manual has revmatching technology. It even blips the engine on downshifts, there's no need to heel-toe on downshifts. Hmm... I'm not sure that keen drivers will

A little help for C-Class By Derek Ogden "I get by with a little help from my friends," so the song goes. The same could be said about the latest iteration of Mercedes-Benz's most popular car. The C-Class has a little help from a friend in the shape of petrol-electric power via a new EQ Boost on-board generator. The C 200 models - sedan, coupe, estate and cabriolet - feature the latest generation 1.5L petrol engine, plus a 48-volt network incorporating a belt-driven starter-alternator, as sidekick. This and EQ Boost helps improve fuel efficiency with Mercedes claiming a petrol consumption of 6.4L/100km on the combined urban-highway cycle while maintaining agility and comfort. Mercedes-Benz says the C-Class upgrade includes almost 6500 replacement or modified parts, equating to half the components. It's a case of a light pencil touch for the reworked C-Class exterior, with emphasis on the front, including the headlamps which have more clearly-defined contours. The same applies to the tail lights. Newstyle alloy wheels complete the 2019 picture. An elegant trim element flows within the cabin and includes the option of new timber veneer such as open-pore brown walnut or black ash. Ambient lighting, consisting of 64 colours, is standard for the first time across the whole C-Class range. However, missing is Mercedes' Energizing Comfort Control, a system combining music, temperature, and fragrance to set the cabin mood. Technical innovations taking a front seat across the C-Class include digital instruments incorporating a 12.3-inch display alongside a 10.25-inch media screen. The latter features standard smartphone access via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and the latest generation Comand multimedia system where fitted. In encouraging the driver to keep two hands on the wheel, touch-sensitive controls navigate both digital displays using swipe actions as with smartphones. The latest generation petrol engine and starter-alternator add 10kW to the 135kW peak power, while EQ Boost enables additional geelongindy.com.au
functions to help improve fuel efficiency. The C 200 is no slouch when it comes to acceleration, the EQ Boost lends a hand until the turbo spools up - no lag here. The boost also chips in to maintain the engine's optimum revs during gear changes, cutting shift times for smoother operation. During slowing down, the starter-alternator takes up kinetic energy, in turn charging the battery. With the car coasting, the engine is automatically switched off leaving the vehicle to glide over the road. Also when the speed drops below a certain level, the powertrain is uncoupled and the motor cut. Hence fuel savings galore. In the case of the test car, fuel consumption hovered between 6.5 and 7L/100km in a series of trips through town and country, with varying loads. Unlike some start/stop engine systems that recouple with noise, vibration and harshness when the brake is released and the engine fires, the belt-driven starter-alternator engages the petrol motor quickly with almost no vibration and noise. Already with a comprehensive standard list of safety features such as Active Brake Assist, Attention Assist, warning the driver of inattentiveness or drowsiness, the C 200 can be fitted with a Driving Assist Package. This includes Lane Keeping and Blind Spot Assist, Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic function, including evasive steering, and PreSafe Plus, which readies occupants for an imminent crash. Also standard is Active Parking Assist to automatically park in a parallel or end-on space, Blind Spot Assist and rear cross-traffic alert. Adaptive suspension makes even the humble entry-level C 200 in Comfort mode one of most relaxing rides around, while its sport setups harden its heart for the most spirited driving. On the outside, there's little to announce the arrival of the 2019 C 200. But under the skin, even the humble CClass entry-level model has the smarts to maintain its popularity with potential premium-car buyers. The Mercedes-Benz C varies in price from $63,700 for the 200 sedan to $71,800 for the 300, plus on road costs.

Cats ‘not alarmed’ By Natalee Kerr Geelong coach Chris Scott said he is "alert but not alarmed" by his side's form in recent weeks. Scott shrugged off suggestions Geelong were facing a slump after losing two of the last three games following the mid-season bye. "The season was always going to be one of ebbs and flows," he said. "We'd like to be playing better, but I don't think we're going that badly." Scott said the team had been focussing on playing a "sustainable" style of football. "Historically the really good teams have a system that stands up irrespective of what the opposition are trying to do." Geelong suffered a shock 16-point loss to Western Bulldogs last Saturday night at Marvel Stadium. Despite being a man down with defender Jake Kolojashnij receiving a concussion in the first quarter, the Cats lead for most of the match. Geelong was 10 points up at three-quarter time, until the Dogs hit the front for the first
OPTIMISTIC: Superstar Patrick Dangerfield said Geelong would not be taking "any opposition lightly" in the remainder of the season. 195192 Picture: REBECCA HOSKING time at the 11-minute mark in the last quarter. Scott said his team, the league's highestscoring side, uncharacteristically struggled to convert in front of goal. "We didn't score very well, we scored 50-odd points which is very unusual for us," he said. Following the loss, the ladder-leaders have
a one-game buffer ahead of second-placed West Coast. The Cats will now turn their focus to host St Kilda at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday night. St Kilda have struggled with poor form in recent weeks, with a 39-point loss to the Kangaroos last Sunday their third in a row. But Scott said the Saints "pressure well" and at their best are a "competitive" team. "Some fundamental parts of their game are pretty strong," Scott said. The clash will have extra significance for Geelong, who will wear orange-branded socks in support of the Just Think campaign against alcohol-fuelled violence. With seven games remaining in the homeand-away season, superstar Patrick Dangerfield said the group remains level-headed approaching the latter end of the year. "Whether you're winning games of footy or losing, you take the emotion out of the result," he told the media this week. "You can't afford to look too far ahead, our focus has always remained narrow. We won't take any opposition lightly."
OAR-SOME: Jack Newland paddles to a bronze medal in Spain.
Picture: BENCE VEKASSY
Jack makes history on Spanish whitewater Belmont teenager Jack Newland has made history by becoming Australia's first ever junior world championship medallist after winning bronze on Friday. The 18-year-old placed third in the kayak surface final at the 2019 ICF canoe freestyle world championships in Spain. "It's unbelievable, I'm so stoked! This is crazy!" the thrilled teenager said. "It's been stressful, with a lot of butterflies, but I've been excited for most of the day. I
didn't know I could get on the podium." Unlike most of his opponents, who trained on some of the best whitewater in the world, Newland had to make do with a swimming pool. "It takes a long time in a swimming pool. It's good, it's fantastic training, but you've got to put in the hard work," he said. But it didn't phase him on Friday. In fact, he said training in a pool four times a week might have given him an advantage over other athletes.
"Swimming pool training gives you a lot of boat control and strength, but it doesn't give you the feel for features and waves such as this one. "You really are going in unknown. It took me four days when I got here to get use to the feature, because it's completely different to what I've paddled before and, obviously, completely different to a swimming pool." Newland scored 660 points on his first ride in the final to take the bronze.
Sharks bite at Anglesea ON THE BITE Adam Van der Lugt Gummy sharks were a good option offshore with plenty of reports this week. Fishing anywhere from outside the rip to Anglesea in 30m of water produced sharks pushing 20kg. Fresh baits like salmon, pike fillet or squid worked well while taking the extra time to catch reef fish like wrasse to use as bait also proved worthwhile. St Leonards also produced gummy sharks in 20m of water. Daniel Maddalena and son Hudson ventured out to fish an outgoing tide with pilchard as bait and caught numerous gummy sharks and plenty of flathead. Royal Geelong Yacht Club produced pinkies to 55cm this week for soft plastic anglers casting Gulp turtleback worms and the Z-Man Streakz. Pinkies, Salmon and flathead were also caught in the area between the yacht club and Eastern Beach promenade. Garfish were taken from the rock wall at Limeburners boat ramp. Using small slices of pippie or squid suspended under a quill float caught bag limits of gars for some lucky anglers who used a fine berley to hold the fish in their area. Squid were caught in good numbers off St Leonards in 3-5m over the weed beds. There were also reports of squid caught from the newly extended Clifton Springs jetty with smaller size 2.5 jigs doing well in the shallow water. Local beaches hosted great fishing for those willing to brave the conditions. Mulloway and gummy shark were caught after dark on salmon fillet and squid while salmon to 1.5kg kept anglers entertained right along the coast to Apollo Bay and were caught on metal lures and whole bluebait. Kids across Geelong have been having a ball with rainbow trout that were released into St Augustine's Lagoon in Highton and the Bannockburn lagoon. Using powerbait has been productive as well as small celta style lures.

Geelong U18s win Vic titles By Natalee Kerr
STATE CHAMPS: Geelong has won the 2019 U18 State Winter Baseball Championships for the first time in seven years. geelongindy.com.au
A Geelong team has claimed victory at the U18 State Winter Baseball Championships for the first time in seven years. Geelong impressed with an undefeated record as five teams from around the state competed at the event at Mildura on the weekend. The team's executive officer Scott Lappin said it was "remarkable" to see the "impressive" teamwork displayed. "The way they came together for the tournament was unbelievable, the level of comradery, respect and support shown between them was just great," he said. Thirteen local players aged 15 to 17 were selected from a series of try-outs to represent the Geelong team, Lappin said. "We had one young lady in our team and she was great," he said. "I think about every club had one or two girls in their team, the girls love it and are
really into it." Although familiar to each other through the league and regular season, it was the first time the group played together, Lappin said. "For a group that haven't played with each other for that long, how they played as a team on the weekend is an absolute credit to them," he said. Geelong dominated from the opening round banking two big wins on the first day, 17 runs to two against Sunraysia and then 10 runs to zero runs against Ringwood. Despite the weather taking a turn on Sunday they continued their winning streak posting a victory against Latrobe Valley, five runs to two. The final game against Dandenong was then called off, but with an undefeated record Geelong were crowned champions. Seventeen-year-old Josh Byrne was selected as Geelong's all-star player.
