Geelong Indy - 23rd October 2020 by Star News Group

October 23, 2020

In it to twin it By Luke Voogt and Justin Flynn Tomorrow’s Grand Final between Geelong and Richmond is uniting and dividing two sets of local twins separated by 83 years. Identical 87-year-old twins and life-long Geelong fans Doreen Lynch and Janet Johnson were ecstatic the Cats had made the big game. “The whole family’s excited!” Doreen said. The Geelong-born sisters watched Graham ‘Polly’ Farmer live with their dad in the ’50s and followed the results while working in Papua New Guinea as nurses in the ’60s. As Cats members of more than 30 years, they have watched both Gary Ablett Senior and Junior take the field. They hope their beloved Cats will bring home the 2020 AFL Premiership Cup and give ‘The Little Master’ a final game worthy of his

illustrious career. “That would be the icing on the cake wouldn’t it,” Doreen said. They were devastated when Geelong lost to Richmond in last year’s preliminary final – minus a then-suspended Tom Hawkins. Doreen got a fright when she heard Hawkins was isolating due to a sore throat this week but luckily the Coleman medallist tested negative for COVID-19. While she had missed her other “family” of fellow football fans during the pandemic, she admired how the Cats had handled a “trying year” away from home for so long. “There’s been no troubles and they’ve just got on with it,” she said. She will be glued to the television tomorrow night alongside daughter Kate and grandchildren Hugh, Bridget and Seamus, who live with her in Herne Hill.

She was “quietly confident” the Cats could win if they started well, won the clearances, kicked accurately and continued their superb team efforts from the past two finals. “The way we’ve been playing, we’re a chance.” Over in Ocean Grove, four-year-old identical twins Bohdi and Owen d’Offay are thick as thieves normally, but friends will become enemies for two hours on Saturday night. Bodhi supports mum Brigid’s team Richmond, while Owen followed his grandparents into the blue and white. “They’ll definitely be best mates again afterwards,” Brigid said. “But I’m expecting to hear a lot of ‘my team won and yours didn’t!’”

COVID drives Lifeline spike By Luke Voogt Average weekly calls to Lifeline Geelong have jumped by 31 per cent during COVID-19, according to regional general manager Jason Doherty. “It’s certainly like nothing we’ve ever experienced,” he said. “But we’ve been able to keep up with demand, which is really important.” Weekly calls spiked by about 40 per cent during the introduction of both lockdowns, Mr Doherty said. In March, Lifeline Geelong

volunteers were also answering questions from callers about the new restrictions. “There was lots of training we were doing in our crisis centre so they could give up-to-date information,” Mr Doherty said. “In the last few months, it’s been more the economic downturn and businesses closing.” When restrictions eased in June before Victoria’s second wave, and again in recent weeks, calls decreased but were still about 20 per cent higher than pre-COVID levels, Mr Doherty said. “We saw a spike last week [due to] JobKeeper

[declaration deadlines] and people’s understanding of that. It’s not just COVID, it’s the related factors of unemployment, family life, and people’s mental health and wellbeing.” But a volunteer recruiting drive that began when Mr Doherty took over in January had proven timely, he said. “We weren’t answering enough calls in Geelong. Our call answer rate is now 92 per cent.” The centre increased its volunteers from 10 to 60, with each crisis supporter costing $1000 to train, Mr Doherty said. “It’s not an easy thing to become a crisis

supporter on the phone, the training is quite intensive.” Small increases in state and federal funding during the pandemic had helped, but local donors and philanthropists had driven recruitment, Mr Doherty said. The centre also has about 30 paid employees who mostly work ‘hard-to-fill’ shifts. “We couldn’t run the service without the volunteers – they’re the backbone of the service.” For help phone 13 11 14.

Accused bailed on driving charge

Rhyder reimagines our water future Hamlyn Heights nine-year-old Rhyder Zdybel was so excited about winning a National Water Week poster competition she started doing laps of the classroom. “I was running around and around – I had to sit down in the corner just to settle down,” the Herne Hill Primary School pupil said. “I couldn’t believe it – I was so happy. I just did it because it sounded like fun and I care about our world and the water.” Rhyder won the grade 3-4 category in the Barwon Water competition with her pencil and tetxa poster showing two different futures

flowing from a tap. “It’s about how saving water affects our planet,” she explained. “It shows how we want our world to be and how we don’t want it to be.” One half of the poster shows an ocean polluted by litter and chemicals poured down drains. The other shows a happier future, where people reuse water and conserve energy. “On the good side, the water is clear and trees grow better,” the avid young artist said. “Hopefully I might have made someone make a small change in the way that they use

water.” More than 100 students from 15 local schools created posters inspired by this year’s National Water Week theme: Reimagining our water future. In addition to student prizes, Barwon Water randomly selected five participating schools – Torquay College and St Therese, South Geelong, Nazareth Catholic and Geelong East primary schools – for a $500 sustainability grant each.

A Lovely Banks man has appeared in court following a crash that hospitalised an elderly Norlane man last Wednesday. Damian Wangman, 33, appeared at Geelong Magistrates Court for a filing hearing yesterday on a charge of dangerous driving causing injury. Wangman was driving an orange Holden sedan on the Princes Highway last Wednesday when it crashed with a silver Ford sedan as it turned out of Surrey Street about 5.20pm. Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives yesterday alleged Wangman and a driver of a silver Holden wagon were travelling at high speed at the time. The driver of the Ford, a 68-year-old Norlane man, suffered life-threatening upper body injuries. An air ambulance took him to Royal Melbourne Hospital in a critical condition. A Royal Melbourne Hospital spokesperson this week said the man’s condition had improved to stable. Wangman sustained minor injuries and paramedics took him to University Hospital Geelong. Geelong Highway Patrol officers later interviewed him before charging him with dangerous driving causing injury. Wangman was bailed yesterday to appear again at Geelong Magistrates Court on February 5, 2021, for a committal mention. Police have alleged the driver of the silver Holden failed to stop at the scene of the crash. Luke Voogt

FRIDAY FEATURE GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

Community rallies behind Maddy The Geelong community has rallied around Grovedale 15-year-old Maddy O’Keefe as she continues her fight against a life-long, life-threatening condition. With their support, her family hopes to give her “experiences that she’s never had”, her grateful and overwhelmed mum Traci Ellmer tells Luke Voogt.

fter 15 years in and out of hospital, Maddy O’Keefe has “never seen a waterfall” or “been to Phillip Island to see the penguins”, according to mum Traci Ellmer. Maddy has a rare neurodevelopmental condition called Rett syndrome, and began her latest eight-day stint at the Royal Children’s Hospital just over a week ago. “When I think of all the things, I want to do with her – it’s made me sadder,” Traci said on Tuesday. “All these things that we wanted her to see and experience were out of our reach.” To make matters worse, Maddy’s dad Adrian underwent major surgery to remove part of his bowels and repair his bladder on October 1. “He looks like he’s been cut in half the poor bugger,” Traci said. Being a full-time mooring master, but on a casual rate, Adrian felt compelled to return to work – minus physical duties – to provide for his family.

‘‘

We’re overwhelmed and incredibly humbled

’’

- Traci Ellmer “We had no holiday pay or sick leave,” Traci said. “As much as Adrian should be at home resting, he’s gone back to work and is still coming up here to support Maddy and I as much as possible.” Maddy had only a few weeks at home before her latest admission and has spent up to 66 days at a time in hospital since her diagnosis. “We have come close to losing Maddy several times,” Traci said. “She has an amazing team of specialist doctors and nurses that have got her back from the brink. “You’re just always so worried that this is going to be it. But we try to stay positive, or else the rest of the thoughts will eat you alive.” Maddy had only celebrated her first birthday when her parents noticed her development halt and begin to reverse. Specialists took several months to diagnose her with Rett syndrome, a rare condition that only 200 Australians have. Rett syndrome occurs almost exclusively in girls and causes difficulty breathing, muscle weakness, seizures and other complications. The condition has left Maddy unable to speak, walk, eat, reposition herself and sometimes even breathe easily. “We live quite an isolated life with Maddy because she’s quite medically fragile,” Traci said. “But her eyes speak 1000 words – you can tell when she’s happy and joyous, or wants to

tell someone to go away.” In September 2019 Maddy was referred to a palliative care team, which took a lot of “mental wrestling” to come to terms with, Traci said. “We call them Maddy’s quality of life team.” The family have been extremely careful amid COVID-19 to protect her vulnerable immune system, as she is particularly susceptible to pulmonary aspiration – breathing vomit or fluid into her lungs. But the cheeky and happy teen celebrated her 15th birthday on June 2 despite the odds against her. “It’s a credit to the inner strength that she has. She keeps fighting,” Traci said. Traci informed the Independent on Wednesday that Maddy’s condition had improved after treatment and that the family planned to return home. “But as quickly as Maddy can get well, she can become unwell,” she said.

The family hoped to make “some really beautiful memories” with her as restrictions ease and the weather improves, Traci said. So Maddy’s cousin Jacqueline Timberlake started a campaign, which raised almost $11,000 in just four days. “We’re overwhelmed and incredibly humbled by the support of so many people in such a short period of time,” Traci said. “I read the donors’ messages and look at their names and think, ‘I don’t know these people’. “Everybody’s been hit hard but it doesn’t seem to have stopped people wanting to help.” If the worst happens, Traci plans to use any remaining funds to pay for Maddy’s funeral and to donate to charities that have helped over the years. But she is staying positive for herself, her family and, most importantly, Maddy. “We would like to do as much as we can to

give her some life experiences that she’s never had,” she said. Jacqueline said she hoped to relieve some of the stress on her aunt and uncle. “It’s really traumatic and horrible for them,” she said. “We’ve always known that Maddy wasn’t going to live forever. For us, that reality is really starting to sink in and it’s really sad. “I thought she wasn’t going to make it till Christmas last year but she just keeps hanging in there – she’s a real fighter.” She wanted to continue seeing her cousin’s “beautiful smile” and for Maddy to spend as much time as possible with her parents and beloved older brother Josh. “The minute Josh walks into a room she just explodes with happiness,” she said. October is Rett syndrome awareness month. To donate to Maddy’s family: gofundme.com/f/ our-earth-angel-maddy.

Election reignites walkway fight By Luke Voogt A controversial proposed elevated walkway and viewing area at Bells Beach could sway the Surf Coast Shire council election, with ballots closing today. Surfrider Foundation renewed its campaign against the plans this month, accusing the shire of favouring multi-national companies and organisations over locals. The foundation’s Surf Coast branch secretary Darren Noyes-Brown said the World Surf League (WSL) should continue to pay $5000 to

$10,000 for a temporary platform each year for the Bells Beach Rip Curl Pro. The WSL received more than $2 million combined in naming rights from Rip Curl, state government funding and ticket sales from the event, he said. “The council and state government seem hellbent on building this viewing platform for the WSL, at ratepayers and taxpayers’ expense,” he said. In a November 2019 shire survey, 54 per cent of 379 respondents said they “loathed” the plans. A 2018 survey found 70 per cent of 502 respondents “loved”, “liked” or “could live

with” similar plans, while 19 per cent “loathed” them. Mr Noyes-Brown said both surveys’ three positive response options, with only one neutral and one negative, skewed the results in favour of the plans. He also slammed the shire for conducting public consultation after securing $128,000 in state government funding for the project, rather than before. Torquay ward council candidate Maurice Cole took aim at the plans and posted emails between the shire and WSL obtained under Freedom of Information.

He also criticised then-mayor and chief executive, David Bell and Keith Baillie, for meeting with WSL representatives in Hawaii in 2018. But a council spokesperson said Cr Bell and Mr Baillie met with the representatives while on private holidays at their own expense. “Councillors were aware this occurred.” Council approved an alternative motion for a temporary walkway for this year’s Rip Curl Pro, which was eventually cancelled due to COVID-19. It plans to re-examine the permanent walkway plans in 2021.

A platform for change A new Geelong youth inclusion team aiming to give “people of diverse abilities” a voice held its first meeting yesterday. Nelson Park School captain Breanna Deleo joined several other inaugural members setting the foundations for the group’s efforts. “I’m feeling excited and happy,” the 18-year-old from Grovedale said yesterday. “It’s just a space where people can communicate, even if they have a disability like me.” Breanna has mild cerebral palsy in her right leg, although few would suspect it at the pace that she runs. “Most people, you can never tell if they have a disability,” she said. She hopes the team can be a platform to share concerns raised by her fellow students, discuss issues such as bullying, accessibility and perceptions toward people with disabilities, and help others. “People talk to me about their issues, because

I’m in a position where I can help and give them advice,” she said. “We can learn different ways to communicate and maybe cook or make blankets for people.” After four years of learning sign language (Auslan), she wanted to help deaf people have a greater voice too. Rights Information Advocacy Centre’s Rachael Thompson hoped to build the team members’ advocacy skills and let them guide the group’s direction. “We’re going to ask the students what they want,” she said. “I’m really interested to know from them what their priorities and ideas for change are.” The monthly meetings could also feature guest speakers, she said. “If they want something, we’ll do what we can to make it happen.” For details email advocacyinfo@riac.org.au.

Trials hit ‘all-time high’ By Luke Voogt An “all-time high level” of clinical trials at Barwon Health is establishing Geelong’s credentials as a medical research hub, according to state government. In the past 12 months the health provider was involved in about 200 clinical trials involving 700 participants, including an international COVID-19 vaccine candidate trial. The phase two trial was the first to test American biotech company Novavax’s vaccine candidate on participants aged 60 to 84, the Independent revealed in August. A local team is also set to begin a nationallysignificant study into the biological, physiological and psychological impacts of COVID-19 infection on a regional population. The researchers from Barwon Health, Deakin University and the Geelong Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases received funding from the state government’s COVID-19 Research Fund for the study. Other trials in the past 12 months included treatments for diabetes, cardiology, stroke and respiratory illness. “Clinical trials are vital to providing access to new and emerging therapies for people in the Barwon region,” Barwon Health chief executive Frances Diver said. “We are expecting to grow our research footprint, ultimately delivering better care for our community.” Medical Research Minister Jaala Pulford visited University Hospital Geelong yesterday to promote Barwon Health’s work. “There is ground-breaking work being done in Geelong in medical research and clinical trials,” she said. “The impact can be immediate for individuals while the potential long-term benefits for the

wider community are immense.” The state government has invested $14.7 million in 17 dedicated coronavirus research projects across Victoria. “Growing the number of clinical trials and medical research projects conducted locally not only provides access to life-improving

treatments, it also supports economic growth,” Geelong MP Christine Couzens said. “The dedicated workforce at Barwon Health cannot be praised highly enough for their efforts to look after us now and in striving to create a healthier future for the community,” South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman added.

Murder charge over stabbing Police charged a Connewarre man with murder on Monday over the alleged fatal stabbing of Whittington man Geoffrey McDonald last week. Homicide Squad detectives arrested Joshua Hocking, 35, and his 34-year-old partner in Shepherdson Avenue, Corio, about 11.20am, a Victoria Police spokesperson said. Hocking was charged with murder and faced Geelong Magistrates Court later that afternoon. Police released the 34-year-old woman pending further inquiries. The arrest follows a five-day manhunt for Hocking. Emergency services rushed to a property on Planet Court about 3pm last Wednesday after reports a man had been stabbed. On arrival police found Mr McDonald with life-threatening injuries. Paramedics took him to hospital where he later died. Police alleged Hocking and Mr McDonald knew each other. A magistrate remanded Hocking in custody and adjourned the matter until November 5, when the accused is due to appear again for a forensic procedure hearing. The hearing will determine a police application to take a compulsory sample of Hocking’s DNA. Hocking will again face court for a committal mention on March 15, 2021. Luke Voogt

A rural Little River property was the launch site for CFA’s 2020 Fire Action Week on Monday, with authorities preparing for a grassfire-dominated summer. Significant fires have ravaged Little River and nearby Lara over past decades. In 2018, a grassfire burned through 1260 hectares at Little River before about 50 fire trucks and seven aircraft brought it under control. In 1969, fires killed 23 people, including 17 motorists trapped on the Princes Freeway, and burned a total of 250,000 hectares. On Monday, CFA acting chief officer Garry Cook warned this year’s bushfire season could be a bad one, especially on hot and windy days. An above-average rain forecast from now to December, amid a La Niña event, will likely

increase grass growth providing more fuel for fires. Mr Cook urged property owners to begin preparations for the fire season, revise their plans to leave or stay, and to not be complacent. “Plan for all situations by talking to your family and friends about your triggers to leave, where you’ll go and how you’ll get there.” Owners should prepare their property to reduce the chance of damage during a fire, even if they plan to leave early, Mr Cook said. “Keep trees, overhanging branches and shrubs to a minimum near your home, and keep grass shorter than 10cm.” Information: cfa.vic.gov.au

State government has voted down opposition amendments for a minimum deployment of two protective services officers (PSO) at Geelong railway station from 6pm until the last train service. Opposition police spokesman David Southwick said the PSOs would help prevent offences at or near Geelong train stations, which he said were up 74 per cent in five years. But a government spokesperson said the opposition amendments would have undermined the operational independence and flexibility of Victoria Police.

Bushfire exercise Emergency management specialists responded to mock bushfires across Geelong and the Surf Coast yesterday. About 25 specialists put their skills to the test in the multi-agency training exercise in preparation for the fire season.

MY GEELONG After initially signing up as a protective services officer (PSO), Sam Galpin became a sworn-in policeman in February, joining dozens of new officers hitting the beat across Geelong. He speaks to Luke Voogt about working in Geelong, COVID-19 and what he hopes to achieve in blue. Tell us about you…

What’s your Geelong connection? My connection with Geelong includes going to high school in Geelong and my father working in the Geelong CBD for most of my life. Why did you join Victoria Police and what do you hope to achieve as an officer? My motivation in joining Victoria Police started from family friends, seeing their flexible work and hearing the stories they would tell. As I joined, I started to enjoy the law side, constantly learning and helping people. The thing I mostly hope to achieve is a long-running career, wherever that takes me in the force, we’ll have to see. How do you like working in Geelong?

I enjoy working in Geelong as you get the city aspect and also the suburban, we get a great mix in Geelong. We still get to help out Corio, Waurn Ponds and Bellarine in their areas, so it’s not all Geelong CBD. What are your favourite things to do locally? My favourite things to do in Geelong and the surrounding regions are visiting our endless coastline, various locally-owned shops and taking my dog to one of the multiple dog beaches or the bush. How has COVID-19 changed your job? The only thing I have noticed, personally, about the change in police work is the roadblock at Little River. How has COVID-19 impacted your life? (Credit (Louisatrade Jones)gothic 218734_02 6.5pt)

I’m 26-years-old and a lifetime local of the Surf Coast area. I have been with Victoria Police for just over four years now, with two and a half of those as a protective services officer. I don’t have any kids but I have a kelpie-cross, Rocky, who is just as energetic as a small child. My hobbies include surfing, fitness and computer games.

Personally, I am coping fine with COVID-19, it hasn’t really changed how I live my life too much, apart from the gyms being closed for the better part of a year. I am mostly looking forward to things going back to how it was pre-COVID-19, such as attending AFL matches and no two-hour time limit at pubs.

This is the City's Coronavirus support page, which includes information about the status of events, facilities and City services across the region. A MESSAGE FROM MARTIN CUTTER, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Last weekend we welcomed some fantastic news for the Greater Geelong community, as the Geelong Cats qualiﬁed for the AFL Grand Final and further easing of coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions for regional Victoria was announced by the Victorian Government.

to support the ongoing recovery of our community and in particular, increased participation in sport by our young people. Once again, I’d like to thank the Greater Geelong community for its resilience and commitment to adhering to restrictions through COVID-19. As we cheer on the Cats this weekend and enjoy our new freedoms, it’s important we continue to adhere to restrictions and keep up the great work to maintain low case numbers.

The Grand Final on Saturday is a great opportunity to support local businesses, by booking in with venues screening the game where there is an opportunity to do so in a COVID-Safe way. Our local hospitality sector has been amongst the hardest hit during COVID-19 and the eased restrictions will provide further and much-needed relief to local businesses trying to get back on their feet.

LETTERS GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

YOUR SAY Spiritual needs forgotten Like many ratepayers I have been judging the claims of the many who aspire to lead our city. As yet I haven’t been convinced by the cases presented. The missing factor in all their claims has been a lack of appreciation for the spiritual needs in our community. Like our state government, any awareness of the Christian values that have been the sustaining influence on our Democratic systems is ignored. During the COVID-19 epidemic while stress has been evident in family breakdowns and increased demand for mental help our churches have been forced into lockdown. Their message of faith in God and hope for future blessings would have been a comfort to many sufferers.

When the ‘Powers that be’ continue to deny that spiritual values must be acknowledged and served, the churches in our land must rise in protest and for the sake of human wellbeing insist on providing places of worship. This would not be a new action for the people of faith. The Bible tells of another Daniel who defied the power of Babylon and continued to worship God in prayer. Revelations of the dishonesty, incompetence and failures besetting our present leaders gives reason to question their capacity to make worthy judgements. Their ignorance of the spiritual needs of the Victorian public shows what results when accountability to God is lacking. I remind those seeking office in Geelong that our Australian society ultimately

acknowledges through our Queen’s Coronation vows, the Supremacy of Jesus Christ. They will be judged according to the oaths they may take. I have opened the doors of the Aberdeen St. Baptist Church on Sunday mornings from 10 to 11am. In the vast space, some have been able to safely sit and pray for our Churches, our governments and those who are suffering.

started to degrade. Nowadays, I have noticed that bread can develop fungal spores (mould) on it within three days of purchase, even if stored appropriately. These spores can pose a significant health risk to consumers including an allergic reaction and respiratory problems. Even inhaling mould can be dangerous! Where are the regulatory authorities?

What will Christmas look like? Lots of families get together on Christmas Day. We need to know now which venues will be open for Christmas Day lunch/dinner and what any restrictions might be. We are very keen to support our local hospitality industry and help them get back on their feet. Announcements need to be made now so that people can make their plans to meet up with loved ones and share a meal. Pre-planning is the key. Not all venues choose to open on Christmas Day.

THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLAN

A recipe for disaster Renewable energy is cripplingly expensive, hopelessly unreliable, massacres wildlife, destroys landscapes, destabilises the grid and causes climate change according to a review published in the scientific journal Energies by a team of Irish and U.S.-based researchers. The large scale transition to renewables in California has caused widespread power outages and failed to provide enough power for the state at peak demand, and needed back-up from other sources. The review authors demonstrate, renewables – mainly wind and solar – do little if anything to reduce carbon dioxide emissions but are very good at wasting eye-watering sums of taxpayers’ money. The report’s leader author Coilín ÓhAiseadha said; “It cost the world $2 trillion to increase the share of energy generated by solar and wind from half a per cent to three per cent, and it took eight years to do it. What would it cost to increase that to 100 per cent? And how long would it take?” According to the review, wind and solar are bad for a number of reasons – not least among them being the harm they do to the environment. One of the rationales used for wind power is that it reduces manmade climate change. But the study shows, it actually causes climate change at a local level, changing wind patterns, temperatures, precipitation, even causing flash flooding. Renewables also require large quantities of minerals and the widescale expansion of mining would have serious adverse social and environmental impacts in the often impoverished countries where the rare minerals are found. Both the Andrews state government and the Morrison federal government are committed to increasing renewable energy and decommissioning coal-fired power plants. Given Australia’s rapidly increasing population, going green is a recipe for disaster and will mean power outages will increase. The irony of it all is that it will cause climate change on a local scale while simultaneously be of no real benefit in reducing the greenhouse effect.

This year hasn’t been easy. And recovery will take time. But this is Australia. We will come back. THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT HAS A PLAN FOR OUR ECONOMY. A PLAN FOR EVERYONE.

CREATING MORE JOBS.

The Economic Recovery Plan will put more money in the pockets of everyday Australians by lowering taxes. Money that can be spent, with local businesses in our communities that can help to create jobs.

We’re offering incentives to businesses to help with hiring and investment that will create more jobs. And thousands of jobs will open up in infrastructure, as new projects get underway.

DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY 7MATE, 8.10pm

The jokes come thick and fast in this riotous comedy. Ben Stiller (pictured) is way over the top as the sleazy, narcissistic owner of Globo Gym, who wants to take over a nearby gym run by slacker Vince Vaughn. Needing $50,000 to save his club, Vaughn assembles a team of no-hopers to compete in a dodgeball tournament against Stiller. The banter aims low and hits every time in one of the finest dumb-but-fun comedy you’ll ever see.

TUESDAY

STACEY DOOLEY: LOCKED UP WITH THE LIFERS SBS VICELAND, 10.35pm

Never one to shy away from tough topics, English journalist Stacey Dooley is at one of America’s most radical women’s prisons, Iowa Correctional Institution for Women. Warden Sheryl Dahm is determined to make a difference in the facility, reconsidering the way her inmates are treated. Historically, prison rules are created to control violent men, but the women who end up in her care are more likely to be victims of violence and as such, Dahm is trying a different approach. Dooley is keen to discover how allowing therapy dogs, makeup and sartorial freedoms is affecting life in the facility, particularly for the 10 per cent of inmates serving life sentences.

SUNDAY

A STAR IS BORN SEVEN/PRIME7, 8.10pm

Bradley Cooper’s directorial debut but was a box-office winner, with the he heartfelt remake proving that the Hollywood star is a talent behind the camera as well as in front of it. The familiar story follows a musician named Jackson Maine (Cooper), who helps gifted young singersongwriter Ally Campana (Ladyy Gaga) find fame, although Jack’s numerous personal problems threaten to derail his life. Nominated for eight Oscars, A Star Is Born is undeniably a tearjerker, but it is a convincing take on a well-worn story. Lady Gaga is a revelation in her big-screen role, confirming her as a major acting talent in addition to her status as a modern pop icon.

Week-in, week-out, the Have You Been Paying Attention? gang are putting their tremendous comedic chemistry and broadband connections to good use, delivering a consistently hilarious show every week without even being in the same room. With consummate quizmaster Tom Gleisner at the helm, no topic is offlimits, from unusually named Aldi products and contentious current affairs to reality TV and politicians behaving badly. This week, Gleisner is joined by regular Sam Pang, radio presenter Ash London and The Masked Singerr judge Urzila Carlson, along with comedian comedians Lloyd Langford and Tim McDonald, to see who can remember the most about the week in news. Ash London appears in Have You Been Paying Attention?

Fanatics gear up for Grand Final By Luke Voogt Cats fan of decades and five-time Grand Final attendee Ken Yap admits he was once “soccer mad” – until he saw Gary Ablett Senior play. He saw ‘God’ live in one of the AFL’s first night games in the 1980s. “I could not believe the skill of the man,” he said this week, as he decked out his pharmacy in blue and white paraphernalia. Ken has experienced both heartbreak and jubilation supporting the Cats. He was at the MCG when Ablett Senior played in losing Grand Finals in ’89 and ’95, and watched Gary Ablett Junior and the Cats win two out of three in ’07, ’08 and ’09. Customers who could not attend the big games gave the “opinionated” Cats fanatic their tickets, he explained. “I give opinions on what’s wrong, what’s right, who’s good, who’s bad,” he said. “When they couldn’t go, they gave them to me and my family.” Ken first saw Junior’s freakish skills, not on the football oval, but on an indoor soccer pitch when ‘Gaz’ was playing with his son. “He probably doesn’t remember it but I’ve never forgotten,” he said. “He lobbed the ball over the head of a player, ran around them and volleyed the ball into the goal. “You can’t train someone to do something like that. He used to score so much I had to put him on the bench, so the other kids could have a go.” With COVID-19 making attending this year’s Grand Final almost mission impossible, Ken will instead watch the game with a friend in his Highton “man cave”. Simple work ethic will be the key to the Cats giving ‘The Little Master’ the ultimate final game, he reckons. “When they go out to work hard, they will beat any team.” The Cats memorabilia on display in his central Geelong pharmacy was only some of what customers had given him over two decades. “If I were to put them all out, I wouldn’t have any stock on display!” he said.

Among his favourites are a letter from late Geelong player Bruce Morrison and a football signed by dozens of past players, including premiership captain Jimmy Bartel. “I’ve had many offers to buy that football but I’ve turned them all down.” In Belmont, reformed St Kilda fans Ange Liston-Mccaughley and husband Leif and their kids painted their fence blue and white for the big game. “It’s been such a crappy year,” Ange said. “We just wanted to spark a bit of joy and get into the spirit. There’s a lot of traffic in our street and people cheer and beep their horns as they drive past.” The couple switched sides when they moved to Geelong in 2009, to “bring up the kids as Cats supporters”, Ange said. Ange was at the 2009 Grand Final when Geelong beat St Kilda, which proved the final straw. “I said, ‘if the Cats win this grand final, I’m changing teams’,” she said. “I’m passionate and I go to lots of games with the kids – although obviously not this year.

“I think they’ve played great this year and that they deserve it.” Across Geelong many families and businesses have refused to let the pandemic dampen the Grand Final lead up, decorating their properties in blue and white. The city’s pubs and restaurants are also filling up with bookings from fans keen to revel in the big day. Right: City Hall shows its support for the Cats.

Award-winning flavours hit the spot (Pictures: Supplied)

Tempting Tastes Asian Restaurant has just been awarded 2020’s best Chinese restaurant in Geelong by Menulog – as well as a certificate of excellence from Restaurant Guru. With head chef Harry He’s use of homemade slow-cooked bone stock, handmade dumplings and super-fresh ingredients, it’s not a surprise that the popular restaurant, opened just a year ago, is already receiving industry accolades. Harry draws his influence – and creates his recipes – from traditional Chinese and Japanese cuisines, with the menu dipping into favourite tastes from his repertoire. Asked to name his headlining dish, Harry puts his Peking pork loin right up there, but he’s a whiz with other authentic and well-loved dishes as well. Diners get to choose from 10 different options in the sushi and inari selection, while inside-out rolls and freshly prepared sashimi are also on board. Bento boxes, the perfect treat to pick up for lunch at work or on weekends, come with a free bowl of miso soup – a soul-soothing drop and a measure of traditional Asian generosity. There’s no less than seven sizzling-plate dishes to choose from, with seafood well represented (think prawns, squid, salmon), along with chicken, beef and pork dishes. Noodle soups, and vegie and rice dishes can be had as well. And customers, old and new, should note that yum cha dim sum is landing soon. The family-friendly restaurant offers meal and snack deals, and is fully licensed and BYO. As well, the website allows customers to make a dine-in reservation or lodge a takeaway order, and right now provides a code entitling diners to a 15 per cent discount on orders of $30 or more (T&Cs apply). There’s even a home delivery service – at Tempting Tastes Asian Restaurant, 142A Pakington Street, Geelong West. set hours – to many surrounding suburbs (all Opens 10am-9.30pm Sunday-Thursday; 10am-10pm Friday-Saturday. details of where and when are on the website).

USED CAR CHECKOUT

Audi A3 2008 - 2019 By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring German automaker Audi is often ahead of the pack when it comes to new ideas. In Europe the Audi A3 is often used as a family car, but in Australia it’s more likely to be bought by singles or couples. The A3 created quite a commotion when it was first released in the small car market in 1997. Some felt prestige cars should be large, imposing and expensive – certainly not small and relatively affordable. They were wrong and Audi has since been joined by other prestige marques. In May 2013 the Audi A3 gen-three arrived Down Under. It was slightly larger than the gen two of 2004, which in turn was larger than the original A3 of 1997. Audi stylists have stuck with the original successful shape over the years. Differences are obvious when the generations are viewed side by side but the timeless lines make for good resale value. Audi A3 is sold in just about every imaginable body type. There’s a two-door convertible/ cabriolet, three and five-door hatchback (Sportback in Audi speak) and four-door sedan. The five-door is almost station wagon in its rear and many buyers choose it because it looks smooth and can carry a decent load. Four adults can get comfortable in most A3s, but two plus two children is more practical. The convertible uses an old-style soft top which we reckon is much nicer than a boring folding hardtop. It can carry four adults if they don’t mind doing some serious compromising on legroom. Handling is very good, though there is perhaps just a little too much understeer at the limit to suit the full-on driving enthusiast.

Engine choices are many and varied. Most engines are four-cylinder units but Audi’s five-cylinder turbo-diesel, sold from 2008 till 2010, is an interesting exception. A big capacity 3.2-litre V6 petrol quattro was first imported in 2004 and ran through till 2010. Then there’s the Audi A3 e-tron Sportback - a plug-in, petrol-electric, hybrid that arrived here in 2014. It uses a 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine giving up to 110 kW of power and 250 Nm of torque and an electric motor which produces up to 75 kW and 330 Nm. The e-tron isn’t cheap and you probably can’t justify it on the ground of your budget, but those who want to minimise climate change love it. Power in most standard Audi A3 models is transmitted to the front wheels, the high-performance models have the company’s quattro all-wheel-drive system. Quattro is also offered in some other models. Audi S3 is a performance variant and Audi RS3 is a full-on hot-hatch. Its handling is nicely sorted out and it remains neutral if driven correctly, high-performance drivers love it.

ADVERTISERS, in this section are qualified practitioners and offer nonsexual services.

Body repairs are most easily spotted by sighting along panels in a strong light to see if there are ripples in the metal. Look over the interior and luggage area for signs of damage, particularly in the Sportbacks as many have begun their lives as reps cars.

What to look for Uneven tyre wear, particularly at the front, probably means an A3 has been driven hard. This is more likely in one of the high-performance models. Tyre wear may also mean one of the wheels is out of alignment after a crash, but a hard thump against a kerb can give the same result. If in doubt, get a professional opinion. If the engine hesitates under hard acceleration in older A3s there may be computer problems. Chances are these have been sorted out by now, but check with the Audi dealer you’re buying from, or contact Audi online. During your test drive check that an automatic transmission doesn’t hunt up and down the gears when climbing moderate hills with light to medium throttle openings.

How much? Expect to spend from $4000 to $7000 for a 2008 Audi A4 Attraction; $7000 to $11,000 for a 2009 Ambition; $10,000 to $15,000 for a 2010 Ambition; $13,000 to $19,000 for a 2014 Ambition; $15,000 to $22,000 for a 2014 Ambition quattro; $17,000 to $24,000 for a 2015 Ambition; $21,000 to $29,000 for a 2016 Ambtition quattro; $24,000 to $32,000 for a 2016 Sport; and $31,000 to $42,000 for a Sport quattro.

Car buying tip High-performance cars are more likely to be bought by keen drivers and may have been driven to the limit, causing exaggerated wear on their components.

No-compromise Supra By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring

AT A GLANCE MODEL RANGE

As shutters around the world go up against the pandemic and intellectual property pirates, automobile manufacturers increasingly are opening to the sharing of ideas, design and technology. For years, rising costs of new-vehicle development have opened the borders between what were once bitter rivals with sharing on an industrial scale: think Ford and Mazda with Ranger and BT-50 utes, Toyota and Subaru with the 86 and BRZ sports cars. Now, Toyota is at it again, this time building the new version of its iconic Supra sports coupe around a German chassis and engine. And those familiar with European performance car influence will immediately pick up the BMW Z4 in its Japanese counterpart. The Supra GR comes to market in Australia in two variants, the GT and GTS. The GT is $84,600 and the GTS $94,600, not including on-roads. The German cousin, the Z4 3.0 M40i, clears the bar at $127,900.

Toyota Supra GR GT $84,900 Toyota Supra GR GTS $94,900 OPTIONS Nurburgring Matte Grey paint $2500 Alcantara upholstery $2500

of 500 Nm is on tap from 1600 to 4500 revs.

Safety

Styling With a nod to Toyota’s sports car heritage dating back to the 1967 2000GT with its double bubble roof, the new Supra takes into account the aerodynamics and balance needed for high performance driving on road or racetrack. For the low centre-of-gravity necessary for true sports performance, Toyota dropped the running ground clearance below its usual standard minimum of 130mm to just 119mm. The GTS rolls on 19-inch forged alloy wheels shod with low profile Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres specifically tuned for Supra. Sports brakes with red brake calipers peer out from within.

The new Supra is offered in a choice of seven standard colours, plus an optional matte grey for the GTS, named after iconic racetracks.

Interior The cabin décor is basic black, broken up by splashes of race-bred design such as carbon fibre-look trim. Leather-accented, heated sports seats are eight-way power adjustable. A leather-accented three-spoke sports steering wheel is well placed with controls and transmission paddle shifts, while the GTS adds sports accelerator and brake pedals. The instrument cluster is uncluttered.

Infotainment Front and centre is an 8.8-inch touchscreen multimedia display, which is also accessed through a large control knob, surrounded by system access buttons, on the centre console. Bluetooth connectivity is a given, embedded satellite navigation a welcome inclusion and voice recognition a bonus.

Engines / transmissions The GTS is powered by the BMW 3.0-litre six-cylinder inline engine found in the top-spec Z4. Maximum power of 250 kW comes up between 5000 and 6500 rpm, while top torque

Five-star safety starts with seven airbags. Autonomous emergency braking features front collision warning with daytime pedestrian and cyclist detection. In addition, ABS anti-skid braking with brake assist, vehicle stability control, traction control, active cornering assist and brake standby, fade and drying functions are on hand. Front and rear parking and clearance sonars with rear-end collision warning is augmented by rear cross-traffic alert and reversing camera.

Driving Press the start/stop button on the dashboard and the engine leaps into life with a breathy rasp, that rises to a roar as the revs mount. Securely ensconced in eighth gear at motorway speeds the Supra test car clocked up an average fuel consumption of 5.6 litres per 100 kilometres. Which ran out to 10-plus in town. Toyota Supra handling is spot on.

Cats face final challenge By Luke Voogt Tom Hawkins will perhaps be the difference between the 2020 Grand Final and the Cats’ preliminary final loss to the Tigers last year. Cats fans breathed a collective sigh of relief on Wednesday as Hawkins trained with the side after testing negative for COVID-19 following throat soreness. “It was a bit of a rough start to the week, one I would have rather spent with my teammates, but I’m feeling really good,” the big Cat told the media yesterday. Hawkins said the minor ailment had not affected his preparation but had “just made it a little different”. He said this year’s Grand Final lead-up felt more like a normal game compared to his previous two Grand Final campaigns in Victoria. But that will change once he crosses the white line. “Once you’re in the game you know it’s pretty high stakes.” Hawkins will likely face Noah Balta, who will possibly have help from Dylan Grimes and David Astbury. Balta and Grimes kept Hawkins to one goal and six possessions in round 17. “Noah’s a great athlete and he seems to … read the game pretty well,” Hawkins said. “I think as a whole we’ve learned from last time.”

Tom Hawkins. (Cats Media)

Unlike that game, Hawkins will have Cats champion Gary Ablett and gutsy forward Gary Rohan with him to create more scoring avenues. “They’re just dangerous players,” he said. “We’ll just look to capitalise on our form going forward.” Patrick Dangerfield has also been in white-hot form both up forward and in the midfield, and provides coach Chris Scott with another explosive goal-kicking option. The game will feature arguably the AFL’s two best midfields and a big ruck battle between the in-form Rhys Stanley and Toby Nankervis. Skipper Joel Selwood and Cam Guthrie, who is in career-best form, will line up against

opposing captain Trent Cotchin and Tigers star Dustin Martin. Like Dangerfield, Dusty can be game-changing up forward. Guthrie and Brandan Parfitt are solid options to match up on him in the midfield, while Jake Kolodjashnij or Tom Stewart will likely get the job when he is forward. In last year’s preliminary final Lachie Henderson struggled while pinch-hitting for then-suspended Hawkins. But the Coleman medallist is in for Saturday night’s historic Grand Final at the Gabba and Henderson will play back, where he has starred this finals series. The Cats will need a team effort from him, Mark Blicavs and the rest of the backline to neutralise Tom Lynch – who kicked five goals in last year’s preliminary – Jack Riewoldt and mercurial small forward Daniel Rioli. So many different battles could determine the outcome, with the bookies placing Richmond slightly ahead of the in-form Cats. But if the Cats start well, win possession and kick accurately it will go a long way towards a premiership. The Cats need no extra motivation for the biggest game of the year. That said, the desire to give Gary Ablett a final game worthy of his incredible career might just give them the extra edge they need. Cats by 4.

Corio bay a fishing hotspot ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos The inner harbour of Corio Bay has had some fantastic land-based fishing on offer as of late with some great reports of rock flathead being caught from many different parts of the bay. The Geelong waterfront has been one of the many hotspots. Rob Vecoli from Trellys Geelong has had a few ripper sessions casting soft plastics from the shore, finding rock flathead to over 50cm and not many under 45cm. Rob has been slaying fish on small curl tail plastics. The Portarlington boat harbour has also been hosting some land-based fishing over the past week with some very good snapper reports rolling through with some fish reaching up to 4kg. The best time to fish is just after a strong wind, especially if it’s in your face. It’s not the most pleasurable time to fish but the snapper love it. Pilchards and squid have been the ideal baits but if the time is put in, the results are well worth it. Clifton Springs jetty has also been producing some solid land-based captures with calamari showing up in decent numbers. The snapper reports in the outer harbour are still coming through with fish being caught from all different parts of the bay with, once again, the channel being the most popular location. Even up towards Portarlington has had a few fish being taken with some fish reaching up to 6kg. The Queenscliff cut has had its fair share of good fishing too this week. Salmon, trevally and pinkie snapper all keeping anglers well amused and is a great land-based option or if the weather is too rough to get out in the bay. St Leonards is still fishing quite well for whiting with the area known as Bourke Street through to the boat ramp holding the majority of fish, with even a fair share of fish being caught from the pier. The Barwon River is still offering some great carp fishing at the moment from pretty much all parts of the river. Fishing with a very lightly weighted running sinker rig with corn kernels should get you into the action, throwing little hard body lures can also find you a few redfin, too. Rainbow trout continue to bite well in Wurdi Buloc Reservoir with good numbers of fish showing up. Casting small hard body lures has been lethal with other anglers having great success casting flies, too.

Steel Prince wins quiet Geelong Cup Steel Prince has won an eerily-quiet Geelong Cup in a narrow finish ahead of stablemate Le Don De Vie. The horses galloped in front of perhaps the smallest crowd in the cup’s 148-year history on Wednesday amid COVID-19. Only trainers, jockeys, officials, owners and select Geelong Racing Club staff were onsite without the punters, marquees and fashions on the field that normally accompany the race. Usually 12,000 or more spectators line the hills and stands of Geelong Racecourse to cheer the horses on in the 2400-metre race.

Jockey Jye McNeil rode Steel Prince for the victory, which has booked the seven-year-old a place in the Melbourne Cup. The horse finished ninth in the race that stops the nation last year and trainers Anthony and Sam Freedman will be hoping he can complete the Geelong-Melbourne double. “He was too strong today,” Sam said after the race. “Credit to this horse, he is incredible. He has obviously been around a while and he keeps turning up. “I said to Jye, ‘If you’re right there at the top of the straight, he is a horse that loves a dogfight’.

“He’s riding at the top of his game at the moment and he gets on really well with this horse.” Three Geelong Cup winners, Media Puzzle (2002), Americain (2010) and Dunaden (2011), have completed the double in the past two decades. Prince of Arran won the Geelong Cup in 2019 before finishing second in the Melbourne Cup. The win in Wednesday’s group 3 Geelong Cup shortened Steel Prince’s odds from about $51 to win the Melbourne Cup to $26. King Of Leogrance placed third.
