All revved up for show Brendan O’Neill’s pride and joy, a Vincent C-Series 1000cc motorbike, will be among 450 of the “world’s greatest motoring machines” at Torquay next Sunday. “They stopped manufacturing them in 1955,” the Belmont local told the Independent. “They were the world’s fastest standard motorcycle you could buy over the counter for a long time. They win lots of races in the classic road racing scene.” The 57-year-old realised a long-time dream when he bought the two-wheeled beast secondhand about 30 years ago and lovingly restored it. Brendan grew up in Marshall riding classic British motorbikes in the paddock, he said. “It was all farms back then. Now it’s pretty much all housing.” The Vincent will join more than 450 cars and motorbikes on display for the 2020 Torquay Motor Show on February 9. The event supports the volunteer work of Torquay Rotary. “This year’s line-up includes some of the world’s greatest motoring machines, many of which you have never been seen at close proximity or in this part of the world before,” organiser Gary Grant said.

Fundraiser for ire kids By Luke Voogt A fundraiser for the children of a man who died of serious burns on Australia Day has raised more than $5000 in just two days. “his beautiful family have experienced immense tragedy in such a short period of time,” campaign organiser Meisha Taumoefolau said. “he children have lost both mum and dad essentially. “At the moment they’re just really confused about what’s happening and why.” Whittington father Daniel Surtees, 36, died in hospital on Sunday following a ire at Boundary Rd, Whittington, on Saturday night.
Detectives have since charged his wife Angela Surtees, 33, with murder and she is scheduled to face Melbourne Magistrates’ Court for a committal hearing in May. he children were with relatives, whose immediate family had “grown overnight” as a result, according to Ms Taumoefolau, a long-time family friend. “hey need our help,” she said. “All of this money that’s being raised is going towards the children’s expenses so their lives can get back on track as soon as possible.” Initially the children’s carers had been reluctant for friends to start a fundraising page, Ms Taumoefolau said.
“hese people who have taken on the care of the children are very selless people. “But the community do want to help and people from Geelong are incredibly generous – so we inally convinced them. “here are a lot of expenses and they need the support of the community just to get things set up for the children.” he funds would go towards expenses such as counselling, swimming and dance lessons, football registration, education and clothing, she said.

Avalon’s new ambassador By Natalee Kerr Australia’s ‘dunny man’ has jumped on board to become Avalon Airport’s new ambassador. Actor Shane Jacobson, best known for his role in 2006 ilm Kenny, will front the airport’s campaign for 2020, it was announced yesterday. he 49-year-old said he hopes to inform holidaymakers that commuting interstate and overseas can be “super afordable” and “stress-free”. “We all love to travel but let’s be honest, none of us enjoy the hassle that usually occurs at an
airport,” he said. “We’re going to make the hard bits simple and leave the fun bit fun.” Avalon Airport’s chief executive oicer Justin Giddings said he was “thrilled” to welcome the entertainer as brand ambassador. “He is just the perfect it for Avalon Airport. He is well-loved, warm, friendly, funny and an all-round good bloke,” Mr Giddings said. “With Shane’s help, we want to educate Victorians and bring awareness to the fact that it’s easier to travel with Avalon Airport.” he announcement comes ater the
airport, located 20kms from central Geelong, commenced its irst lights out of Bali last weekend. Low-cost Indonesian airline Citilink are now operating a daily 178-passenger service between Avalon Airport and Denpasar. Flights to New Zealand, Brisbane and Tasmania could be next for Geelong travellers, according to Mr Giddings. He named Brisbane as “irst” on his “wish list” and believed New Zealand was the “logical” next international destination for Geelong.
Ethan’s ight against rare cancer Six-year-old Ethan Desai is ighting for life against a rare, aggressive brain tumour and, with no cure available, his parents are pinning their hopes on a US clinical trial. “We don’t have a day to waste,” said Ethan’s dad Pranav, who works in Geelong. “his tumour is savage … we’re determined to ight and give Ethan every possible chance.” During AFL Grand Final week last year, Pranav and wife Shivani noticed their sport-loving son was losing balance, slurring and unable to do simple activities. Days later specialists diagnosed him with difuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a rare and aggressive childhood brain tumour with a life expectancy of nine months ater diagnosis. “Our world was shattered ater learning that our beautiful boy and big brother to Ahaan has a rare and aggressive brain tumour,” Pranav said. “Ethan not only loves playing footy, tennis, cricket and basketball, he also values his time as we sit as a family and watch these together, whether … at home or at the stadium cheering our teams on.” No treatments are available in Australia forcing the Desai family to travel to the US in hope of being accepted into a new $500,000 clinical trial. “It’s breaking our hearts to see our little boy continually deteriorate at a rapid rate,” Pranav said. “DIPG almost exclusively attacks our youngest and most vulnerable, who should have their whole lives ahead of them, and there is currently no cure.” An online campaign has raised more than $96,000 towards the trial, travel and accommodation for the family, who lived in Geelong about ive years before moving to Werribee.

No end in sight for train dispute Geelong commuters could face the prospect of more pain, as the pay dispute between V/Line and the rail union continues. No Geelong-Melbourne trains operated for 24 hours on Wednesday as V/Line train drivers and customer service staf went on strike for the second time in six weeks. he industrial action follows workers striking last month for better conditions, including a six per cent annual pay rise over three years, according to the Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU). “Negotiations with V/Line continue to go in circles, we’re not getting anywhere, we need a circuit breaker,” the union’s Victorian secretary Luba Grigorovitch said. Employees took action following a year-long industrial dispute with V/Line, according to the RTBU. V/Line chief executive oicer James Pinder labelled this week’s strike as a “distraction, disappointing and unnecessary”. “It doesn’t help us, it doesn’t help the union and it doesn’t most importantly help our customers,” he said. V/Line shared a “very productive and constructive” relationship with the union, according to Mr Pinder. He was surprised by the RTBU’s decision to strike for the second time. “We’re not falling out with each other – which is one of the reasons why we’re particularly disappointed that the union has decided to take this action,” Mr Pinder said. Mr Pinder was “optimistic” V/Line and RTBU will reach a “positive” outcome as negotiations continue.

Leopold group bags win A group of women in Leopold are turning everything from discarded curtains to old baby clothes into bags in a bid to reduce plastic. Part-time Indented Head musician Sarah Lynn joined the group through a work for the dole program to supplement her income. “While the weekend work is good, it doesn’t pay all the bills,” the 24-year-old said. “here’s a lot of jobs that you could be set up with that are not very nice environments to be in. “But this really made me feel like I was doing something worthwhile.” he group’s ingenuity in using almost any type of waste fabric oten amazed her, she said. “I’ve even seen curtain fabric being used or baby clothing that people didn’t want. If it’s a small amount of material we use it for
patchwork.” he group, Boomerang Bags Leopold, make the durable fabric bags as retailers begin to phase out single-use plastic in a bid to halt its harmful environmental efects. “hey’re very unlikely to break,” Sarah said. he group could make up to 50 or 60 bags a day, according to coordinator Sue Bick. A $300 grant from Barwon South West Waste and Resource Recovery Group for a screen printer three years ago was a game-changer for the group, Sue revealed. She encouraged other local environmental groups to apply for Can Do Communities grants of up $500 by visiting www.reduce-recycle. com.au Luke Voogt

Drysdale decision delayed again By Luke Voogt A community campaign has again delayed a proposed 550-house estate in Drysdale that objectors believe will “kill” the town’s rural character. Geelong council deferred the proposed development this week, ater the Independent revealed the plans last October. Councillors on Tuesday night requested Planning Minister Richard Wynne appoint an independent panel to consider a planning amendment required for the proposal. Drysdale Cliton Springs Curlewis
Association president Mercedes Drummond expressed a mixed reaction to the decision. “We would have liked them to have been brave and bold and say, ‘we don’t think this is a good idea – we will vote against it’,” she said. “But they could have voted for it to go ahead, which would have been worse. So I guess we’ve got to be grateful for that. “It allows us to put our point across one more time.” he proposed amendment seeks to rezone 28 rural living zoned properties on either side of Central Rd, Drysdale, to support the proposed estate.
Ample Investments Group, which plans to redevelop the land and requested the council amendment, owns eight of the 28 properties. Patrick Hughes, who also owns one of the properties, told the Independent last October he feared his home could be demolished for drainage for the estate. “What we’re facing is a house being demolished for a hole in the ground,” he said. he council has received 71 public submissions on the proposal, with the overwhelming majority objecting to it. Of those, 21 were objections from residents of Marsh Ct, who opposed the proposed
extension of the court to the planned estate. Community associations across the Bellarine Peninsula had objected to the proposal, according to Mrs Drummond. “his is unheard of – for all of the Bellarine associations to oppose a development like this,” she said. “heir concern is today it’s Drysdale – tomorrow it will be them.” City Hall said it would refer all submissions, and its responses to them, to the panel, which is scheduled to begin in April. Councillors previously postponed discussions on the estate last December.
Ned Kelly history retold Two young local ilmmakers are set to bring their “unique” Ned Kelly-inspired movie to Geelong audiences next month. Ater premiering feature ilm Stringybark at Lorne Film Festival last July, Geelong duo Ben Head and Ben hompson have now landed their irst cinema release. Mr Head said it felt “rewarding” to secure multiple screenings at Pivotonian Cinema from February 6-12. “It’s an awesome outcome to have what is an entirely local production being screened at Geelong’s own independent cinema,” the Moriac writer and director said. “It feels great to be supported by other local businesses – and to be able to show the inished product and appreciation to the people that helped us out.” he 21-year-old’s hope is to challenge the perception of Kelly with the ilm. Kelly was a
“serial pest and thief” rather than a folk hero, according the movie’s take on the bushranger. “I want to show Australians what this guy was really about,” Mr Head said. he former Kardinia College students’ movie recreates the moment the Kelly gang murdered three “respected” Victorian police oicers in 1878. “It’s the irst time in Australian history the Kelly story has been told from the police perspective,” Mr Head said. “It’s showing a side to the story people have never seen before.” With a Kelly historian’s support and the backing from descendants of the policemen, the pair spent two years researching the story behind the murders. A crowd-funding campaign raised $35,000 to support the project, with much of the ilming taking place in Bellbrae. Natalee Kerr Geelong ilmmaker Ben Head on the set of Stringybark. (Ben Cook)

Bringing Pinocchio to life Geelong actor Caleb Vines is making his mark on the stage. Natalee Kerr reports.
G
etting itted with a black wig, pointy nose, yellow hat and big brown boots has now become a standard routine for Caleb Vines. he Geelong-born stage star transforms into the ictional character of Pinocchio eight times a week. “he costume consists of a few layers - it does get quite hot,” Vines tells the Independent. “I wear this ‘onesie’ that makes my skin look like wood, then another layer over the top which is made from neoprene.” he 28-year-old local talent is part of the Australian cast bringing Shrek to life for audiences across the nation. Sporting a Van Gough-inspired look, Vines applies his own makeup before every show. “It takes me about half an hour to get ready,” he said. “It used to take me a little longer but I’ve got it pretty down pat now.” But Vines is reluctant to reveal the mechanisms behind the wooden puppet’s signature sprouting long nose. “It’s a secret!” he laughs. “But I can tell you it does grow live on stage … it’s pure theatre magic.” Adapted from the 2001 blockbuster ilm, Shrek he Musical follows the story of a giant green ogre and his friends who are on a mission to rescue a princess from a ire-breathing dragon. Apart from Vines’ characters distinctive look, the voice is equally important to master. Vines demonstrates the unique vocal requirement by impersonating Pinocchio’s signature phrase “I’m a real a boy!” for the Independent. “As you can hear it’s very high-pitched,” he laughs. “For the majority of the show – I’m using that voice. “I’ve never had to do something in full falsetto before.” Figuring out how to replicate Pinocchio’s voice was “trial and error”, he explains. “here’s a lot of hydration involved,” Vines said. “I make sure I have a drink bottle every show with Hydrolyte in it, I carefully warm up and warm down and get a lot of rest.” Vines is currently on a national six-month tour of the production alongside a star-studded cast led by Ben Mingay, Lucy Durack, Nat Jobe, Marcia Hines and Todd McKenney. Performing next to McKenney is particularly “special” for Vines. he irst professional musical Vines ever saw, Singin’ in the Rain, starred the veteran entertainer. “I remember being in awe of Todd very vividly,” he recalls. “I was probably 10 at the time and now I’m working alongside him. It’s a very ‘full circle’ kind of thing.” Providing a similar “unforgettable experience” is something Vines hopes to give
to other young theatre irst-timers. “You have to show up for them every time – it might be your hundredth time performing, but it’s their irst time seeing it,” he said. “And just like my irst time, it’s a memory they’ll remember forever.” Vines’ talent and determination has taken him from Geelong’s amateur theatre scene to around the world. At 18, the former Christian College student decided to head across the country to study acting ater he was ofered a spot at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. “I had known about WAAPA since I was little, it was my dream to go there for a very long time,” he said. He graduated three years later before he started working professionally across Australia and overseas. Vines notes a ive-month stint in China performing in the stage production How to Train Your Dragon, where he got to ly animatronic dragons, as a career highlight. More recently he appeared as Malcolm Heslop in the national musical tour of Muriel’s Wedding. “Last time I was on stage I was looking very diferent … I was this loveable bogan with this horrendous mullet,” he laughs. Ater four rounds of auditions, Vines landed the role of Pinocchio while still working on the
REPORT IT
iconic Australian musical. He had three weeks of before six weeks of rehearsals began for Shrek. Now on tour, Vines is performing eight shows across ive days a week. But when the musical comes to Melbourne next month Vines plans to make a pit stop at his hometown. A catch-up with his grandmother, Ferri Bond, is on the cards – the woman who he says inspired his love for theatre. “She was a wonderful local actress who starred in many Geelong productions,“ Vines said. “I knew her as gran, but on stage she would transform into all these diferent amazing characters, it was incredible.” Ater picking up acting classes at age eight, Vines soon followed in his gran’s footsteps – and even starred alongside her in shows. Vines, who grew up in Highton and Belmont, credits Geelong’s local theatre scene as an “incredible opportunity” to cut his teeth in the industry. “I’m very grateful to have grown up in Geelong which has such a rich community theatre base.”

CBD rainbow makeover By Luke Voogt A rainbow-coloured makeover is set to transform central Geelong in time for an annual gay pride festival, following a council announcement this week. he council unanimously supported Anthony Aitken’s proposal to paint rainbow crossings on Little Malop St in support of the local LGBTIQA+ community on Tuesday night. “I’m really proud council has supported this decision,” he said. “To be a truly inclusive community, a person or group of people need to feel supported, inspired and connected.” Cr Aitken’s motion will see council paint temporary rainbow crossings on Little Malop St near the mall in time for the Geelong Rainbow Festival. “Our LGBTIQA+ community can celebrate their inclusiveness, which a rainbow crossing demonstrates every day,” he said. City Hall will also seek “urgent” support from State Government to paint a rainbow across Moorabool Street connecting both sides of Little Malop Street. he project would involve working with Regional Roads Victoria to paint the rainbow at the busy crossing, according to the council. he crossing would serve a dual purpose as gesture towards the LGBTIQA+ community and making central Geelong safer for wheelchair users, Cr Aitken explained. Buses and cars oten got stuck between traic lights in Moorabool Street due to traic, impeding wheelchair access, he said. Able-bodied pedestrians could cross by navigating around these vehicles but wheelchair users and other disabled pedestrians sometimes could not, Cr Aitken said.

Wheelchair users had been forced to wait for up to three traic light changes before being able to cross, he said. But the rainbow colours would increase the visibility of the existing crossings and discourage motorists from stopping on them, Cr Aitkin said. “Rainbow crossings are a small but signiicant step by council which demonstrates our commitment to marginalised sections of our community.”
Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher said Cr Aitken’s proposal was consistent with council strategies to be “an inclusive community for all”. “he new rainbow crossings will give us great cause to celebrate our diverse community,” she said. he third annual Geelong Rainbow Festival begins next Tuesday and runs until Sunday, with dances, plays, ilms, a pride march and other activities.

Cancer risk for boys and girls About one in four boys and one in ive girls in Geelong are missing out on a free life-saving vaccine, according to Cancer Council Victoria. he vaccine protects against nine types of human papillomaviruses (HPV) that cause approximately 90 per cent of cervical cancers in women. he Gardasil 9 vaccine, free to year 7 students under a national program, also prevents 95 per cent of all HPV-related cancers in men. “It’s fantastic that lots of Geelong parents are choosing to protect their children,” Cancer Council Victoria’s Kate Broun said. “But there is still work to be done to ensure that all teens have the opportunity to complete the free vaccine course and protect themselves against cancer-causing HPV.” About 74 per cent of teenage boys in Geelong, slightly below the state average, had received the vaccine in 2015/16, according to the latest data. Almost 83 per cent of teenage girls, three per cent above the state average, had received the vaccine, according to Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. “he vaccine is most efective when given at age 12 to 13,” said Ms Broun, who manages immunisation for Cancer Council Victoria. “We are urging parents to sign the vaccine consent form and ensure their teen receives both doses for the best protection against cancer.” Luke Voogt

Trio join OAM honours list By Luke Voogt Donald Leslie Harrison combined two life passions when he irst volunteered for Queensclif Coast Guard in 1978. “I love boating and all my life I’ve helped people,” Les told the Independent, ater becoming one of Geelong’s latest Order of Australia medallists. In 42 years in the Volunteer Coast Guard Association, Les has plucked scores of stranded souls from the ocean and towed hundreds of boats. Since 2008 the 72-year-old has been stationed at Geelong Coast Guard, which he says rescues someone about once a week. Mainly crews just gave stranded boats a jump-start, or towed them in if they ran out of petrol or capsized, he explained. But in 1993 he was involved in a major rescue alongside his then 16-year-old son when a “rogue wave” hit their boat. Following damage from the wave, they stayed to protect and reassure the crew of the stranded yacht until a larger boat arrived to tow it back to shore. “It was too rough for me to tow them in and too dangerous,” Les explained. He also searched for a woman, as a coast guard diver, at Portsea ater she had accidentally been reported missing, he said. “We dived for nothing but that was alright – she was safe and that was the main thing.” he Grovedale local, who is also a long-time volunteer for Christ Church’s meals program, said he was “terribly shocked” to receive the medal. Fellow medallist Margaret Primmer had a similar reaction. “When they rang me from Canberra I said, oh my god!” the South Geelong

great-grandmother said. Her mother Jessie May Twaddle won a similar medal in 1964, becoming a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE), she revealed. Jessie’s medals for service to the community, which she kept hidden in life, now proudly adorn Margaret’s walls. “She was very ashamed of them just like I’m embarrassed now,” she laughed. Margaret won her award for decades with the Country Woman’s Association and half a century judging cooking at shows across Victoria. While the 87-year-old was taking a “spell”
from judging ater knee surgery, she loved the variety of shows. She embraces one important motto when judging: “oh Lord, let us not forgot to be kind.” Grovedale’s Barry McFarlane also became an OAM ater more than half a century of service to cricket. Barry played 421 games with St Joseph’s Cricket Club and served for decades in leadership positions in the club and Geelong Cricket Association, most recently as association president. “My son’s quickly catching up to my record and my wife does all the aternoon teas – she’s been doing that for 15 years,” he said.
He hung up the whites about 20 years ago but has curated at the club since. his year G21 CEO Elaine Carbines became a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for services to the environment. Kardinia Park Stadium Trust chairman Michael Malouf shared the honour for contributions to local government and the community. Locals Cedric Carr, Beth Davidson, Peter Forster, Jillian Lange-Mohr, Kenneth McAllister, Lawrence Miller and John Rae were also among this year’s OAM honor list. Leopold’s Terrence Marshall won the Ambulance Service Medal.

GENERAL EVENT TRAFFIC ADVICE
Rolling Road Closures will be implemented to stage the Elite Races. If you are travelling along or across the course as a rolling road closure comes through: •
You will be stopped by the lead police vehicle and asked to park in a safe area on the side of the road. You will have to wait for the race to pass through; once the race has passed the police tail car will inform you that it is safe to move on. Please be aware that there may be some tail riders still on the road.
•
It is estimated that you will have to wait for no longer than 15-20 minutes.
The rolling road closure will be supported by some fixed road closures to assist in keeping the course roads free of traffic when the race is coming through. Parking along the events courses will be restricted in areas along the events course
to ensure the roads are clear for the races. Parking restrictions will come into effect earlier on race days than the actual race times, so please look for any advisory signage situated on the event course prior to parking your vehicle. Emergency access is a priority and will always take precedence over the event. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times during the event via existing footpaths. Where roads are closed for short periods, access across roads will be via marshalled course crossing points. Due to the large volume of cyclists on the roads during the event you should take extra care when crossing the roads the course travels along. Residents and businesses located on the course roads have been sent detailed advice regarding access arrangements during the event. Public transport there will be changes to public transport services across the weekend. Customers are advised to check the PTV website for updates on www.ptv.vic.gov.au/ news-and-events/

YOUR SAY Prices not great I completely disagree with Leah Calnan, President of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV), when she says that high prices for houses is great news for everyone (High-end house price plummet, Independent 24/01/2020). It’s deinitely not great news for younger families and adults trying to purchase their irst home. hey will have even more trouble saving up for a deposit and making sure they can aford mortgage repayments. Nor is it good news for renters as the cost of weekly rentals will also soar if house prices increase. his will lead to growing hardship and struggle for those dependent on the minimum weekly wage, students and the unemployed. I’m extremely disappointed with the lack of empathy and understanding that the real estate industry seems to have for those currently being let out of the housing market. Robert Van Zetten Highton
Wear red for heart disease Who are you wearing red for this Valentine’s Day? Shockingly, heart disease kills one Australian every 29 minutes, that’s 50 people every single day. Given that it is the biggest cause of Australian deaths, it would be impossible for almost every Australian to not be impacted in some way. he simple fact is that research saves lives. Heart Research Australia aims to reduce the devastating impact heart disease has on families and the community by supporting world-class and emerging researchers to conduct ground-breaking research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. hat’s why this February, we invite Australians to get involved with Wear Red

Fire history lesson I’ve witnessed traditional burning in bushland in the Northern Territory. It was a rare experience to see Aboriginal men working earnestly in pursuit of their ritual land management. hey choose suitable wind and weather conditions and burn in a patchwork pattern, leaving alternate blocks unburnt, which gives them control of the blaze and prevents it from spreading. his leaves untouched habitat as refuge for native animals, birds, and reptiles. It gives saplings a chance to grow; and many native plants regenerate ater burns. It reduces the amount of combustible fuel should ires occur from lightning strikes or other random causes. It is a ierce and brief burn. he untouched sections are dealt with at the next burn. Before European settlement our local Aborigines burnt the underbrush, leaving tall trees in a park-like setting; which gave good visibility for sighting hunted animals, and clear right of way for the movement of people. In William Buckley’s time here the scene was not the impenetrable bush we know today. Our indigenous people have an innate bond

Modest warming Mark Ruseler suggests that Melva Stott might average out her temperature igures to read the heat more accurately (Independent, January 24), but the result depends on how you read them and over what time span. Mr Ruseler’s above-and-below average temperatures tell us something about individual years, but nothing about the long term, or possible reasons for the variation. he CSIRO puts the Australian land temperature rise between 1910 and 2018 as “just over 1°C”, a little under one degree a century. his is similar to most estimates of global temperature. Yet this modest warmth has been magniied to a ‘climate emergency’ which sends frightened Swedish schoolgirls, promoted by the United Nations, to berate world leaders on failing to impoverish their countries by ‘decarbonising’ their industries. he Madness of Crowds, as Charles Mackay once described this brand of psychopathology, has yet to exhaust itself.

MY GEELONG Almost ive decades ago, local lifeguard Bill Strachan signed up to become a member of the Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club. he now 58-year-old shares his lifesaving journey with Natalee Kerr. What is your connection to the region? I’ve been in Ocean Grove since I was 12 – I was raised in Canada and then went to Britain for a bit before coming here.
I joined the club when I was 13 and got my qualifying certiicate for surf rescue. I became a life member of the club in 2017. We have more than 1000 members at the club now. We’re starting to get third and fourth generation members, it’s great to see. I’ve also coached ski paddling for 15 to 20 years. I’m still doing patrols here, while working as a lifeguard in Geelong and recreation oicer at Kardinia International College. I’m still reasonably it – I hope to keep being involved for as long as I can. What do you enjoy the most about being a lifeguard? At the pool it’s watching the older people get itter and itter. You see people that come in and can hardly move, but ater ive or six months their whole outlook on life as improved – they’re much better mentally and physically. On the beach it’s educating the young ones on how to do things. I like seeing new members improve their surf lifesaving skills. he surf club gives our young people the ability to grow and acquire skills that they can use for their whole life.

Preventative actions are more important than the rescuing – that’s the major aim of the surf club. Swim between the lags, listen to local surfers, watch and supervise your children. If you do all that most people won’t get into trouble.

Cops catch hungry driver By Luke Voogt A man speeding at 182km/h on his way to get KFC and a Chinese tourist driving 150km/h with unrestrained children were among dozens busted over the long weekend. Police caught a 41-year-old Torquay man allegedly driving at 182km/h towards Geelong on the Surf Coast Highway about 9.50pm on Sunday, Geelong Highway Patrol Senior Sergeant Rod Stormonth said. he man was driving his friend’s car in the 100km/h zone and told police he had been heading towards Kentucky Fried Chicken, Sen Sgt Stormonth alleged. “He was on his way to get some dinner in his mate’s car,” he said. “Obviously we hear some
pretty lame excuses when we intercept people for speeding but this is one of the lamer ones.” A small error at that speed could have easily ended in tragedy, Sen Sgt Stormonth said. “he police member was shocked at his justiication. I can’t really think of any reason to justify those sorts of speeds.” Police ined the man “in excess of $1000” and impounded the car for 30 days, he said. “He had to go home and explain to his mate why he had that car impounded,” Sen Sgt Stormonth said. he man will face court at a later date. On Saturday morning, police clocked a Chinese tourist allegedly driving a rental car at 150km/h in a 100km/h zone with unrestrained kids near Moriac. he 39-year-old man was
driving with six family members, including a three-year-old on another passenger’s lap and a six-year-old without their seatbelt on. “Besides the speed, having two unrestrained children in the back, that’s a recipe for disaster,” Sen Sgt Stormonth said. Police issued the man multiple tickets including an $826 speeding ine and suspended his licence for one year. he family had been driving along Princes Highway to Port Campbell, according to police. Meanwhile, police caught four motorists drink-driving in 40 minutes on Saturday aternoon on Anglesea Rd, Waurn Pounds, Sen Sgt Stormonth said. One of the drivers, a Geelong man, blew .146 at the breath-testing site set up on the arterial road, he said.

Billi Lucas broke her back in the horror fall – but has made a stunning recovery and is on her way back to Australia in a cast back-brace, lying on a latbed for the light home.

Delicious entree into cooking By Natalee Kerr Spam mixed with hot dogs, rice cakes, baked beans and kimchi is a dish that means a lot to Korean cooking instructor Heather Jeong. Known as Budae-jjigae or “Korean army stew”, the dish was her father’s favourite – something she describes as “heartbreaking and funny”. Jeong tells the Independent her family faced a nearly decade-long separation following her father’s immigration to Australia. At the age of nine, Jeong arrived in Australia from Korea – where she met her father for the irst time. Jeong explains the separation caused her to struggle with “daughterly love”. “We shared a diicult relationship,” she said. “We didn’t get a long very well.” Jeong describes her arrival to Australia as a “unique” story that not many people know about. “A lot of people hear about how migrants come to Australia but they don’t know on a personal level what it’s like living in a migrant home,” she said. “here was not a lot of Asians in our neck of the woods.” Growing up, Jeong didn’t want to become a lawyer or doctor – much to her parents’ disappointment. “All I wanted to do was cook,” she said. “My parents didn’t want me to become a chef, but I followed my passion.” Jeong’s personal story is part of new production called Double Delicious – an “interactive” culinary experience coming to Geelong next month. he show brings together ive well-known storyteller-cooks to share the secrets behind the most symbolic dishes in their lives.

he cast reveal intimate tales while slicing, stirring and serving personally and culturallysigniicant cuisine. Each story results in an authentic recreation of the storyteller’s chosen meal – with the audience having the opportunity to taste each dish. Jeong stars alongside celebrity chef Elizabeth
Chong, writer Benjamin Law, performer Valerie Berry and dancer Raghav Handa. While telling her story, Jeong showcases her love for kimchi – a traditional chilli-spiked, fermented cabbage. “I say that I knew about kimchi before I was born. It will be the last thing I’ll eat before I die,” she laughs. “Some of my earliest memories are
of me helping my grandmother make kimchi – she would use 300 cabbages at a time.” In comparison, Jeong expects to go through just 20 cabbages when she prepares her Korean staple for Geelong audiences. Double Delicious will play seven shows at the Geelong Arts Centre from February 19 to 22.

Queen Rocks at the Sphinx Hotel By Luke Voogt By day he’s an IT worker but at night Jason Hess transforms into the ‘Freddie Mercury’ of one of Australia’s longest-running Queen tributes. “I take the responsibility of playing this role really seriously,” the 49-year-old told the Independent. “It’s a great challenge to bring him to life and create a Queen experience for people who come to watch our shows. “I take singing lessons every week, and I get out there and give it all that I’ve got!” An important part of that commitment was growing a mo in time for a run of shows, much to the chagrin of his wife, Hess explained. “I’ve been growing a beard,” he said, ahead of his irst show for the year at Camberwell last weekend. “Tomorrow I’ll shave it down to a moustache. “If I don’t have a gig for a while I’ll shave it of – I don’t really want to look like Freddie Mercury all the time. “It’s not my irst choice and it’s certainly not the missus’ choice, I can tell you that!” Hess and his cover band Queen Rocks would play at Sphinx Hotel for the irst time on February 8, he said. “We’re looking forward to playing there. We hear it’s a pretty big room and an enthusiastic crowd. “I love coming down to Geelong because I’ve got relos down there and down Torquay way too.” he band began in 2000 ater he and Luke Mullens, the group’s ‘Brian May’, met while lining up for tickets to see the Queen guitarist himself in 1998. He and bassist Martin Boult knew each other from since high school, while he met drummer

Dave George and keyboard player Brendan Grabau from Australia’s ‘Queen’ community. “We actually started the band to play at a Queen convention,” he said. “All ive of us were already mates.” he band went under various names in various line-ups, like Q-Rock and Fat Bottom Girls, before reuniting recently. “he recent Bohemian Rhapsody movie has really reignited interest in Queen in a big way,” Hess said. “We just got together for old time’s sake and had a bit of a bash.”

I have the utmost respct for Freddie Mercury as a performer - Jason Hess
’’
Hess dons Freddie Mercury’s outits like his iconic yellow jacket and ‘the Live Aid look’ with the white singlet and armband during shows. “I have the utmost respect for Freddie Mercury as a performer. And we use the same equipment Queen used when they play.” Hess even mimics the “theatrical, lamboyant” showman’s famous vocal gymnastics from Live Aid. “here’s a couple of points in the show when we get a call and response going with the crowd,” he said. “hat’s actually one of the most fun things. He poured his heart into performing – that was one of his strengths as a vocalist.” With dozens of Queen hits to choose from, the band leaves the biggest singalong anthems for last. “Once the punters have had a few they get right into it,” Hess said. “We’re all about having fun – at the end of the day we’re all massive Queen fans in the band.

Make your function a memorable one To think that Club Italia started in a corrugated iron shed decades back, it’s amazing to see how the club has grown and evolved into a modern meeting place, with large numbers of people enjoying activities and entertainment. But where Club Italia really shines is in its catered functions. Leanne Grist from the club says that every type of occasion can be made a memorable one, not least for the authentic Italian cuisine and renowned hospitality on ofer. “We can accommodate up to 450 people in our modern space, whether it be for a wedding, birthday party, or a business function or seminar,” she says. “We provide audio and visual equipment, as required, and a great range of menus to suite tastes and budgets. “We can also host small and large training sessions in our upstairs rooms which can be divided into spaces to suit. “Whatever the ‘do’, we go out of our way to make it one to be remembered. he club’s atmosphere, both inside and out, is perfect for having a great time.” Club Italia is also home to ballroom dancing. Every Sunday night, from 6-10pm, the dance loor becomes “the friendliest in town”. “It’s ballroom dancing at its best,” Leanne says. “Latin, modern and new vogue styles are all covered and participants get to literally dance the night away. Our bistro puts on a home-cooked meal (starting from just $10) on Sunday night, too, while the bar stocks all the favourite drinks.” Every hursday and Sunday aternoon, indoor social bocce comes to the fore. Bocce, considered the oldest game known to man, is terriic for school recreational and sporting activities. It also proves to be a great way to meet new friends and catch up with old – and it suits all ages and itness levels. he pace slows somewhat at noon on hursdays. It’s eyes down for bingo, with prizes to be won and a chance to socialise in a relaxed, fun way. It steps up again on Saturday, February 8, for the Dinner Dance, which includes a three course meal, beer, wine and sot drink and entertainment by Complesso Pergolese. On Saturday, February 15, the regular family disco brings light, music and lots of action. Between 6pm and 10pm, the disco includes a meal so friends and family can gather around good food as the kids (who must be accompanied by an adult) get dancing. Bookings for the disco are essential, drinks are at bar prices (no BYO), and the cost is $10 for a child, $15 for adults. Look out for the next one on March 21.

SPORT Century saves the day LOCAL CRICKET Jim Timberlake Geelong Cricket Club is in a strong position going in to day two of its match with Essendon tomorrow, ater a magniicent century by Josh Larkin last Saturday. Batting irst at Windy Hill, the Cats got of to a horror start, falling to 3/13, before Tom Jackson (45) and Hayden Butterworth (39) steadied the ship. But it was Larkin batting at number 6 and Jared Bailey (13) batting at 11 that were the stars, the pair putting on an incredible 91 runs for the last wicket, to see the side safely to a competitive 258. With 13 overs still required to complete the day, Essendon wiped 37 runs of the deicit, although Dom McGlinchey struck late in the day with a wicket to give the Cats some momentum heading into day two. In the Geelong Cricket Association, Grovedale appears to hold the upper hand in their crucial clash with South Barwon. he Tigers batted irst, with young opener Jake Alsop (77) showing his class early, while Jordan Moran (89) and Michael McNeel (44) ensured the good start would not be wasted, as the side went to stumps with an imposing 301 on the board.

Ryan Gibson (4/88) toiled hard for the Swans, and he will need to back it up with the bat tomorrow if his side is any chance. In division two, Torquay’s premiership hopes
looks like inally spluttering to a halt, ater they were dismissed for just 72 by Geelong City last week. Byron Taylor (4/15) was the star with the ball for the Sharks, while Henry Collins (3/15) was also amongst the wickets. For Torquay, only tail enders Damian O’Brien (20) and Matthew Grossman (11) could hold their heads high, as they were the only batsmen to make double igures. Geelong City had no trouble chasing down the small target, going to stumps at 5/83, and will no doubt look to push on early tomorrow with the bat, before going for outright points. Meanwhile, the incredibly tight and unpredictable division three season continues to intrigue, with homson posting a very competitive 9/288 declared against Newcomb & District. Veteran Grant Dew (86) was the star with the bat. he Tigers then reduced their hosts to 1/23 at stumps, and will start tomorrow as narrow favourites. Across town, Guild Saints also threw a spanner in the works, knocking up 269 against Geelong West. In what has been an incredibly tight season in the bottom division, every single game tomorrow is in the balance, and they all will have huge ramiications on who plays inals.

Cyclist ready for the Long challenge For Ocean Grove cyclist Nigel Long, to reach the inish line of a 115 kilometre-long race tomorrow is a “big” achievement. “I’m not racing anyone, I’m not competing for a prize,” the 57-year-old said. “It’s not about the time, for me it’s just about getting through it and getting to the end in the best condition I can.” Ater months of preparation, the veteran amateur cyclist is set to take on his sixth Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race People’s Ride on Saturday. “I’ve followed the Tour De France and watched Cadel race numerous times over the years,” Long said.
“To have a race of his come to my doorstep seemed too good to be true.” Despite facing numerous injuries, including fractured ribs, the avid cyclist has yet to miss a year of the ride since its debut in 2015. Long’s most recent fall while training for last year’s race let him with cuts, bruises and mild concussion. “here was this pot hole in the bike lane and I tried to avoid it but hit this lump on the road instead,” he said. “I went over the handle bars and fell toward the pavement, but thankfully nothing was broken.” Ater an “exciting” run-in with Cadel at
Avalon Airport last weekend, Long said he was looking forward to riding alongside the Australian cycling great again. “It’s such good fun and to have Cadel involved – he does the ride every year,” he said. Although a “challenging” course, Long said he inds enjoyment from “taking in“ the local surroundings. “I remember one year riding up the hill at Bell’s Beach and there were kangaroos jumping alongside the peloton I was a part of,” he said. “he scenery takes away whatever pain you might be feeling in your legs.”
Now is the time for tuna ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos here seems to be one thing on isherman’s minds at the moment and that is tuna! Over the past week we have had arguably the best run of bluein tuna our local waters have seen and it could only be just the beginning. Trolling and casting have been by far the most popular methods to target them. Ethan Solly has had some great success on the local tuna trolling small skirted lures with a “lumo” colour being the standout. Casting stickbaits and poppers has been accounting for a large percentage of ish too and is deinitely the most exciting way to target them watching them smash your lures of the top. It’s even getting to the point that anglers are taking the hooks of their lures due to catching too many ish but still want to get the thrill of seeing the ish chase the lures! Owen Westwell managed to snag himself a nice bluein irst thing Monday morning whilst micro-jigging, which can be very efective if the ish are holding a bit deeper. Although the tuna are dominating reports this week there are still plenty of other ish to catch including kingish. here is still great numbers around Charlemont Reef in 25m of water. Driting baits has been accounting for a lot of ish and if you’re into your lures, casting stickbaits, poppers and micro-jigging has been getting its fair share too. Josiah and his son Judah Munday got out Sunday morning and crossed paths with plenty of yellowtail kingish whilst trolling small white occy skirts, the pair also managed some nice bluein tuna. Inside Port Phillip Bay there is still some great ishing on ofer with plenty of pinkie snapper still on the chew. here are reports of ish from around the mussel farms and also the inner harbour too. Squid and whiting still remain biting along the peninsula. Fishing a tide change is key to getting yourself a bag of whiting and for the squid the incoming tide is best allowing the cleaner water to let the squid hunt and see your jig easier. St Leonards Pier has been producing plenty of squid for the land based ishos with night time producing the better numbers and size. he Otway Streams have been ishing quite well for brown trout over the last week. he Cumberland River and Smythes Creek are well worth a look. Casting small shallow diving hardbodies, sot plastics and ly ishing are all producing ish.
