Succeeding the VU way

(Louisa Jones) 221002_05

In an Australian first, 650 students will next month graduate from Victoria University after completing their studies in block mode. Block teaching, introduced at VU in 2018, enables students to study one subject at a time in a four-week “block”, and features smaller class sizes. Geelong’s Imogen Hair is among the class of 2020, earning a bachelor of business with a major in event management. “It 100 per cent benefited me,” she said of the block model. “I did have an experience overseas doing a regular model and the comparison was actually very interesting.” Block teaching has been credited with helping students who struggle with their course and has led to an increase in pass rates and attendance at VU. In the first year, 86 per cent of students passed compared with 74 per cent the previous year before its introduction. Student attendance has been 90 per cent more than double the estimated 40 per cent before block model was introduced. VU vice-chancellor Peter Dawkins said the block model had reinvented tertiary education. Goya Dmytryshchak

Tourists flock to Geelong By Luke Voogt and Justin Flynn Holiday parks across Geelong are struggling to keep up with demand as Melburnians flock to the area to enjoy their new-found freedom. Motorists clogged the Geelong Ring Road from Little River to Waurn Ponds last weekend after the state government dismantled Melbourne’s ‘ring of steel’ on November 9. Tourism Greater Geelong and the Bellarine executive director Brett Ince expected a similar exodus from Melbourne this weekend. “We would expect to see this for the next few weekends,” he said. “It’s definitely a sign of

hope for the tourism industry.” Mr Ince described last weekend’s exodus as unprecedented, barring major events and summer holidays. The tourism board estimates the pandemic has cost the local industry up to 33 per cent of its $1.1 billion yearly revenue – about $360 million – during 2019-2020. While last weekend’s exodus was “a welcome relief”, the board would aim to entice Melbourne travellers “down for the next few months, not just the next few weeks”, Mr Ince said. With COVID-19 restrictions still impacting Geelong as an “events destination”,

the city needed to promote its “myriad” of attractions and 330 open spaces as a “whole experience” to attract longer visits, he said. Mr Ince also welcomed recently-proposed state government plans for $200 vouchers for tourists to regional Victoria. The Bellarine Peninsula is already enjoying the incoming tourist dollars with some holiday parks increasing their business compared to last November. Queenscliff’s Big4 Beacon Resort has taken 400 bookings since November 9 and room bookings are up 36 per cent, according to operations manager Emme Malone. “Since the announcements, it’s been like the

lights switched on again and all of a sudden the phones were ringing all day, every day,” she said. Barwon Coast is also anticipating a prolonged peak season at its three caravan parks, with “phones ringing off the hook”, according to accommodation manager Daniel Payne. Collendina Caravan Park’s Joan Steains said she had taken 212 bookings last weekend and that “things were heating up”. Rod Newnham, the manager of Bellarine Bayside Holiday Park in Portarlington, said his bookings from regional Victoria were up, as well as bookings from Melbourne.

Stapleton to lead Surf Coast By Luke Voogt First-time Surf Coast Shire councillor Libby Stapleton will lead council for a year after becoming mayor on Wednesday night. Council voted 7-2 in favour of Cr Stapleton, with only Liberal Democrats councillor Paul Barker supporting her mayoral opponent Heather Wellington. Cr Stapleton said during Wednesday night’s meeting that COVID-19 recovery would be her first priority as mayor. The Anglesea ward councillor pledged to engage and “really listen” to understand the community’s needs. “The election of seven new councillors … is an indication that our community is looking for change,” she said. “During my campaign it became clear to me that the community wants a positive, proactive and collaborative council

that can get on with the job of leading. “I look forward to building positive and productive relationships with fellow councillors, and the council staff, to help achieve the organisation’s vision.” Cr Stapleton acknowledged Greens

councillor Kate Gazzard winning the primary vote in Torquay ward. “This tells us that climate change is a key concern for our community,” she said. She thanked her fellow councillors and acknowledged Cr Wellington’s nomination.

Costume sale keeps group alive

“Cr Wellington brings an enormous amount of experience and skill to our council, and has demonstrated how committed she is to our community,” she said. She and Liz Pattison, who council elected unopposed as deputy mayor, said they would benefit from the local government experience of Cr Wellington and former mayor Rose Hodge. Cr Wellington congratulated Cr Stapleton on the position. Council selected the mayor behind closed doors on Wednesday prior to the meeting. That afternoon Cr Wellington called on chief executive Anne Howard to allow her to state her case for the position publicly. Ms Howard allowed a vote in the live-streamed meeting but Cr Wellington was not allotted time to state her case.

Ferry good reason to sail to Sorrento

Locals can become a disco star, a showgirl or even SpongeBob SquarePants in a garage sale to help keep a Grovedale institution alive. The Dress Up Place is selling clothing, accessories and donated homewares tomorrow and Sunday. “Normally by now we’d have done a sausage sizzle or a trivia night,” said the group’s secretary Diana Poeder. “But, of course, we haven’t had the opportunity to hold events like that.” COVID-19 halted the main source of income – amateur theatre and school plays – for the not-for-profit group and had put some of their elderly and disabled volunteers at risk. Half of the group’s volunteers have a disability, Diana explained. “We had to close the doors for months because there was no point in opening,” she said. “Thank goodness we’re in Geelong, not Melbourne, or else we probably would’ve had to have closed permanently.” The store made just $150 in September and costs about $3500 to run a month, Diana said. The group’s volunteers made and sold masks during Victoria’s second lockdown to keep the shop going, she said. “Our landlord was terrific in giving us some relief but you’ve still got to pay the bills. We have to look after the costumes and do fumigation – it all costs money.” She thanked local state and federal MPs Stuart Grimley and Libby Coker for their assistance in obtaining grants. The garage sale runs tomorrow, 8am to 3pm, and Sunday, 10am to 3pm, at 14b Marshalltown Road, Grovedale.

One million dollars of free ferry tickets between Queencliff and Sorrento – 38,484 tickets in total – are up for grabs in a bid to boost local tourism. Searoad Ferries chief executive Matt McDonald announced the giveaway on Monday as a thank you to Victorians for putting in the hard yards during lockdown. “We hope this giveaway will excite Victorians to reacquaint themselves with our beautiful state and lend a show of support to the local communities that make it up,” Mr McDonald said. “We are a family-owned business and we know how hard it has been for Victorians during lockdown. “In particular, we’ve seen the hardship faced by many local businesses who rely on tourism so wanted to do our bit and encourage as many visitors as possible to help the community spring back from an incredibly difficult time.” Registration for the free tickets opened on Wednesday and runs until 5pm this Sunday. Victorians can choose any day between November 23 and July 31, 2021, to travel between Queenscliff and Sorrento by using their free return ticket. Searoad Ferries has operated the car and passenger ferry service sailing Port Phillip Bay between Sorrento and Queenscliff for more than 30 years. Details: www.freeferrytickets.com.au.

Life-saver congratulated By Luke Voogt Ian Muir would not be alive today without the efforts of gym owner and paramedic Daniel Tinitali. The 68-year-old Breakwater grandfather was completing a warm-down walk after a run when he collapsed from a sudden cardiac arrest in late November 2019. “That’s all I remember,” he said. “I woke up in hospital with wires all over me and I wasn’t happy!” Ian was walking outside Breakwater Athletics, a gym co-owned by his son Cam, and Daniel, who performed vital CPR to help save his life. “He came and visited me in hospital I said, ‘thanks for breaking my rib you bastard’ – he’s a big fella,” Ian said. “I would not be alive today without him.” Daniel, a full-time firefighter and a casual paramedic from Breakwater, was running when he saw Ian stumble and collapse. Ian had no pulse and Daniel performed compressions, with help from a local off-duty paramedic alerted by Ambulance Victoria’s GoodSAM app, until an ambulance arrived minutes later. “Ian was pretty damn lucky to have a paramedic two metres away to start that CPR,” Daniel said. “But even though I’ve got the paramedic background, it was just basic first aid that I utilised. “It’s very difficult to ignore your own heartrate, which is skyrocketing [and focus on CPR technique] because it’s such a tense and scary situation that you’re in.” On-duty paramedics took over and performed CPR for 45 minutes, and with things looking bad, Daniel phoned Ian’s wife and son to “prepare them for the worst”.

“It was right at the end when Ian decided he wanted to come back,” Daniel said. While Daniel was very relieved Ian’s circulation had spontaneously returned, he remained “cautiously optimistic” about his still unconscious friend. He realised from several years as a paramedic that Ian “still may never wake up” or could suffer brain injuries from a lack of oxygen during his lengthy resuscitation. But Ian recovered thanks to the emergency

department and other staff at Geelong hospital. This Wednesday, Breakwater Athletics received a free defibrillator from St John Ambulance Victoria for the upcoming anniversary of Daniel’s life-saving efforts. Each year about 30,000 out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests occur across Australia, with a survival rate of just 10 per cent. For every minute that passes without CPR and defibrillation, the chance of survival for a casualty decreases by 7 to 10 per cent.

Cash splash on Great Ocean Road The Great Ocean Road will receive a $184 million infrastructure and tourism boost in the 2020-21 Victorian Budget, according to state government. Roads Minister Ben Carroll this week announced $140 million to upgrade and maintain Victoria’s top tourist route. “The Great Ocean Road is an iconic Victorian attraction which brings millions of visitors to the region each year and is the lifeline for a number of communities along the coast,” he said. “This [funding] will help to boost the region’s economic recovery following the pandemic.” Earlier in the week, Tourism Minister Martin Pakula announced $44.1 million for tourism infrastructure in the region. The amount includes $23.8 million for the extension of the Great Ocean Road Coastal Trail from Fairhaven. State government also allocated $18.3 million over two years for its new Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority to upgrade visitor infrastructure including toilets, viewing platforms, trails, beach access and parking. Another $2 million will go towards increasing camping capacity on the Surf Coast. “This investment will allow people to see more of this spectacular coast, create local jobs and drive the region’s recovery from coronavirus,” Mr Pakula said. Inland routes between the Great Ocean Road and the Princes Highway will also be upragded at a cost of $115 million.

MY GEELONG After 51 years – not out – Tony Wakefield is part of the furniture at East Belmont Cricket Club. He chats with Luke Voogt about his automotive career, battling skin cancer and a half century at his beloved club. I’m 68, married to Mariska and the father of Anna and James. I grew up in East Geelong and live in St Albans Park. I began work as an apprentice fitter and turner with Ford in 1970 and retired in 2013 as an automotive designer, having worked at Ford, Holden, Mitsubishi and General Motors in Detroit. I played my junior cricket at St Albans Park. My passion for cricket was given to me by my coaches, Wally Ralph, Ivan Felder and Maurie Fox. In the late ’60s to mid-’70s I played football with St Marys and in later years played baseball at East Belmont Saints. Tell us about your involvement with East Belmont Cricket Club… I joined East in 1969 after a visit from Ray Connoley and Roy Spence. It was only the club’s fourth season in district cricket but they had a core of youngsters and a great coach and batsman in Ron Brunger. In the space of two seasons we made the first XI grand final with seven players under 20-years-old. After a few seasons, I was encouraged to join the committee, before becoming treasurer and later taking over as president from Barry McMahon. My brother Gerry and brother-in-law Ian were also players and committee members. The reasons I stayed so long were, firstly, I loved cricket and the contest between bat and ball. Secondly, I had enormous respect for those who had the vision to grow this club. I think we all wanted to see the club grow and to develop the facilities at Winter Reserve. Some of my best memories are from my days

as a junior coach. Seeing those youngsters grow into leaders was a great source of pride. Another great memory was the day my son James and I took all ten wickets between us – five each. The premierships were great but the friendships and the journey were more special. How are you coping with COVID-19? It’s been a challenging time as I have been dealing with skin cancer. I had surgeries in January and March, and more in October. All is OK, but it’s a reminder to be vigilant and get checked if you detect anything unusual. Being retired, the COVID restrictions were not such a problem. For Mariska and I, not being able to visit our grandchildren Tom and Isabel has been the hardest. What do you like to do locally? Geelong is a great place to live. We love to have a drink at Murphys when we can, and some of our favourite places to eat are Brunenzo’s, Kohinoor and The Geelong Boat House on Western Beach. What’s something about you that people might not know? After retirement, I became involved in set building for musical theatre company Footlight. It was very rewarding and enjoyable working with my friends Mal and Ray and playing our ’60s and ’70s music loud. Geelong has so many talented performers so hopefully we can support all of the upcoming productions in 2021.

Aqueduct demolition

Fears of falling concrete at a century-old Breakwater aqueduct have prompted Heritage Victoria to grant a permit to Barwon Water to remove part of the 756-metre structure. Barwon Water initially applied for a permit to remove five of 14 spans of the ovoid sewer aqueduct but changed its application to four, it announced in May. Barwon Water managing director Tracey Slatter said the up to $6.5 million project would generate jobs and open up public space and river access.

Tess Dorris and her fellow Girl Guides were up at the crack of dawn at Belmont Market on Sunday to raise more than $1050 for disadvantaged teens. “I’m really happy, we worked really hard and it all paid off in the end,” the 14-year-old from Rippleside said. The Second Herne Hill Girl Guides were at the market setting up at 5.15am on Sunday and sold donated second-hand goods in a garage sale-style stall until 2pm. “I’m not very keen on early mornings but it wasn’t too bad,” Tess said. “Most of the customers were really friendly. It was great fun and I would do it again.” Some even donated money without buying anything, Tess said.

“We had quite a few people do that. They would come over and have a look at the stall and say, ‘we don’t want to buy anything but we’ll donate some money’. “You really made someone else’s Christmas great.” The girls collected books, toys, clothing, kitchenware and more from friends and family for the fundraiser, Tess said. “All the girls as a group planned the fundraiser; the leaders didn’t plan it – we did.” Second Herne Hill senior Girl Guides leader Belinda George said the stall had raised at least $1050 for Bethany’s annual Geelong Giving Tree Appeal.

‘Highland’ marriage in Batesford By Luke Voogt Dog Rocks at Batesford was not quite the breathtaking Scottish Highlands where Chris and Chloe Hodges first imagined tying the knot. But with a global pandemic making international travel almost impossible, “it was as close as we were going to get”, Chris told the Independent. The Armstrong Creek couple had planned to elope since Chris proposed to Chloe on their fifth anniversary, she explained. “Spending thousands and thousands of dollars on a day definitely wasn’t important to us,” she said. They chose the picturesque rock formation, 12 kilometres west of Geelong, for its similarity to the Gaelic high country, she said. The new Mr and Mrs Hodges married on October 27, Chris’s 27th birthday, and his parents’ and grandparents’ 36th and 64th wedding anniversaries respectively. Four of their closest friends joined them, along with Chloe’s dad Mark, who missed her younger brother’s wedding in Queensland earlier this year due to travel restrictions. “My dad got to walk me in because he’s had a rough year missing my brother’s wedding,” Chloe said. The couple’s dogs Nala and Poppy also joined the nuptials, enjoying a day of running around paddocks and snacking on treats. “It was kind of like organising a picnic with friends, with some formalities at the start,” Chris said. The newlyweds live-streamed the ceremony for about 30 relatives and friends, and sent surprise hampers to both their mums watching online. “[Chris’s mum has] been saying we should go off and elope for ages now,” Chloe said. “It was

a really lovely way to share it with people.” Chloe, a 28-year-old criminology PhD candidate and Chris, an accountant, met six years ago while volunteering for Rotaract. Chloe was president of the Deakin University chapter when Chris walked in. “I was mainly just excited that a decent-looking guy had joined the club,” Chloe laughed. “I remember thinking that she was a bit out of my league,” Chris said. Five years later, on October 13, 2019, Chloe suspected Chris was up to something on their dating anniversary. “I was kind of on edge all day,” she said.

But by evening, after a nice walk together and a pub lunch, Chloe had “kind of given up” when finally Chris popped the question. “I made a book which was sort of our story over the past few years that had the proposal at the end,” he explained. While the couple had always planned to elope, they had to cancel plans for a 100-person-plus engagement party in May. “There’s no stuffing around [with COVID-19],” Chloe said. “If it seemed like it was unsafe – even if restrictions allowed it – we weren’t going to go ahead with it.” Celebrant Jessie Walsdorf, who married Chris and Chloe, said her business had

“tripled” during COVID-19. While some celebrants had not had a wedding since March due to restrictions, elopement businesses were popping up around Geelong, she said. Jessie set up her business last year, under the name Jessie Belle, for couples who preferred a small and personal wedding, she said. Before the pandemic clients would come to her for various reasons, like wanting to put the money towards a house instead, Jessie said. “But it’s taken off this year because it’s really the only option. It’s also a great excuse for people feeling pressure to have the big wedding.”

Dressmaker part of special days From weddings to Fashions on the Field, Lainie Brookman’s dresses have long been part of special days for Geelong women. She speaks to Luke Voogt about her dressmaking journey and her hopes for 2021.

ainie Brookman went from making dresses for one bridal party a year, after giving birth to her first daughter, to sewing right up until going into labour for her second-born. “I was quite busy then,” the Waurn Ponds mother said. “I had a deadline and I went into labour three weeks early – I probably should have timed that a bit better. “I’d had niggling pains all through the day and there was only hemming and a few things left to do. I sat on the couch for a break and when I stood up my water had broken.” Lainie’s love of fashion began decades earlier as a child. “My mum worked in factories sewing and she always made clothes for us,” she said. “Her mum was a dressmaker too. When I could I started making clothes for my Barbie dolls.” She fondly remembered making formal dresses for three high school mates. “They were late ’90s fashion – no big puffy sleeves, we’d just got out of that,” she said. “But I’m doing lots of puffy sleeves for racewear now, so they’re back.” She did a fashion course at The Gordon straight out of school but her first job in the industry put her off for a while. “It’s a classic ripped off in the fashion industry story,” she said. “You’re fresh out of fashion school and you take what you can get. “I did a lot of work for little pay. You get to a point where you just want to earn a regular income to pay the bills.” So she got a job at Mitre 10. But a decade later she got back into fashion while on maternity leave for first daughter Mienna. “We built our house at the same time,” she said. “We had a room that was going to be a study but I ended up setting it up as a client fitting room.” She began hemming jeans and taking in clothes, and made a bridal dress and bridesmaids dresses for just one wedding that year. But her orders “exploded” in following years through word of mouth. “One of those bridesmaids would get married a year later and come back to me for their bridesmaids’ dresses or wedding dress – and so on,” she said. “I can pretty much track my wedding dresses back to one client.” Three years later, she was doing a couple of weddings a month and was “back on the sewing machine” a week after giving birth to second daughter Saige. “When you own your own business you’ve got to do things like that,” she said. In 2017 Geelong local Peta Bell looked Lainie up for a racing dress, which introduced the dressmaker to the world of Spring Carnival fashion. Peta went on to wear several of Lainie’s

dresses to races across Australia, including one that made the New South Wales finals of Fashions on the Field and came national runner-up in 2019. “This year I had about 30 clients booked in for Geelong Cup, Melbourne Cup and even some girls in Queensland,” she said. But COVID-19 decimated racing crowds and wedding plans across Australia. “I’m down 90 per cent what I would normally be doing,” Lainie said. “With the numbers allowed at weddings at the moment people are postponing. “They’ve put their lives hold. I’ve got plenty of clients booked in for next year but a lot are ‘what-ifs’.” Lainie’s electrician husband Stuart has had steady work, while mask-wearing restrictions saw her go from “doing pretty much nothing to two months of craziness”. “I didn’t want to make face masks,” she said. “But when Dan [Andrews] made the announcement that Victorians had to wear facemasks, my phone started ringing. “I had to find three other ladies that could

sew to keep up with demand. It was good to be able to give them a bit of income in these horrible times.” As a designer, Lainie is normally ineligible

to enter Fashions on the Field. But amid COVID-19, organisers this year created a new category allowing designers to enter themselves digitally. She designed new dresses for herself and her daughters. “My girls absolutely loved dressing up, they had heaps of fun,” she said. But she hopes to see race-goers and brides wearing her dresses again soon. “I really miss the creativity,” she said. “I love seeing the end result when it all comes together with the hair, makeup and flowers, and knowing I’ve been part of their special day.” After 15 years of dressmaking, she has become much better at knowing when and how to tweak an outfit. “Early on there were some dresses I made that will probably never see the light of day in a photo again,” she said. “But now I can read people to ‘say, OK, what do we want to change?’ They’ve got to walk out knowing that they’re happy and I’m happy. “It’s my name on the garment so I tend to steer people in the right direction.”

NEWS GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

‘Striketeam’ arrests 37 people By Luke Voogt Geelong police arrested 37 people in a three-day operation beginning last Friday, involving the Air Wing, Dog Squad and Critical Incident Response Team. Among the arrests was a man from Lalor who police observed in an allegedly-stolen vehicle on the Geelong Ring Road in Highton on Saturday. Highway Patrol cars followed the vehicle from a distance while a police helicopter tracked it to an address in Laverton, where the Dog Squad subsequently located it. Officers charged Steve Kaxos, 31, of no fixed

address, with motor vehicle theft, dangerous driving while being pursued, going equipped to steal, dangerous driving, failing to stop a vehicle on police direction and driving whilst disqualified. Mr Kaxos appeared in Geelong Magistrates’ Court on Monday afternoon and made no application for bail. A magistrate remanded him in custody to appear again on December 1. On Sunday, officers arrested a Norlane man they observed driving on Shannon Avenue in a red vehicle that police allege was involved in a “high-speed dangerous driving event” earlier that day. A police helicopter followed the vehicle to an address in Whittington and

officers arrested the man as he exited it. Officers found a homemade firearm inside the vehicle, police alleged. Police charged Jacob Timpany, 21, of Norlane, with reckless conduct endangering life, reckless conduct endangering serious injury, being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm, dangerous driving, possessing a controlled weapon and possessing ammunition. Mr Timpany appeared on Monday afternoon in Geelong Magistrates’ Court, where a magistrate denied his application for bail and remanded him in custody to appear again on December 21. Police checked 870 vehicles and impounded

five, conducted 670 breath tests and executed 21 arrest warrants and seven search warrants as part of Operation Striketeam. Officers also conducted 217 marine inspections resulting in them recovering a stolen car from the Barwon River and another from Hovells Creek in Lara. The operation was “unprecedented” in Geelong, acting Senior Sergeant Daniel York said. “We were able to make a number of significant arrests, including [people] engaging in highly-dangerous driving which could have ended in tragic consequences if police had not intervened,” he said.

Koala-fied local tourism ambassador Koala habitat restoration in Lara has caught the eye of Lonely Planet, with Australia winning the world-renowned travel guide’s community restoration award. Koala Clancy Foundation president Janine Duffy starred as spokeswoman for Australia in a video celebrating koala habitat restoration efforts following the January bushfires. “I felt so honoured and a bit overcome even,” the Anakie local told the Independent yesterday. “I’m so thrilled. Lonely Planet is hugely-respected around the world, particularly in Europe.” The award would provide a massive boost

for wildlife tourism in Geelong and across Australia post-COVID-19, Ms Duffy said. Koala Clancy Foundation primarily plants trees for koalas, with help from local farmers, in parts of Lara and Little River more affected by drought than bushfires in recent years. But this year the foundation also supported rehabilitation efforts in bushfire-devastated koala habitats across Victoria, Ms Duffy said. In the video, Ms Duffy describes the bushfires as the worst in human history, which the World Weather Attribution consortium has attributed to climate change. She speaks passionately about “enriching”

travellers’ experiences through tree-planting programs to save the beloved and internationally-famous marsupials. “We figure if you’re going to a place to see the animals, you may as well help them while you’re there,” she says in the clip. “How would a traveller feel if they planted a tree next year and then in four years came back and saw a koala in it, knowing they helped save this threatened species? “We love it when travellers come and help our wildlife, and we’re going to need them to plant all these trees.”

Geelong council’s Christmas festivities have launched online in a bid to keep the holiday season COVID-safe and get more locals involved. “While we haven’t been able to have the usual launch event because of COVID restrictions, there will definitely be no shortage of Christmas joy across the region,” Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher said. “Thanks to technology, and some clever and creative thinking, we’ve come up with plenty of fun and unique ways that greater Geelong families can enjoy the Christmas period.” The city’s floating Christmas tree will be live-streamed, allowing anyone anywhere in the world to view the spectacle in real time. Council has also announced a new 360-degree interactive map highlighting Christmas destinations across Geelong that will go live on December 1. Each location will feature a letter that, when put together, will spell out a well-known festive greeting. Residents who figure out the phrase can enter a draw to win a hamper of local goodies. And council’s website offers a ‘Christmas at Home’ section, including ideas for craft, baking, sustainable gifts and a Christmas quiz. Details: geelongaustralia.com.au/christmas. Luke Voogt

Scientists find creative way to back Christmas appeal Geelong scientists working on potentially life-saving COVID-19 vaccines and treatments have devised a creative fundraiser to continue their 20 years supporting Bethany’s Giving Tree Appeal. CSIRO’s Geelong social club is holding raffles, rather than donating gifts, for the annual appeal which the club has supported since it began, according to committee member Sue Lowther. The Belmont grandmother started 36 years ago as a lab technician at Geelong’s Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness, joining the social club in her first year. This year the club has created 25 hampers 14 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 20 November, 2020

to raffle with themes including coffee, board games and even a gardening box featuring plants and secateurs. “I’d probably go the wine one to be honest – it’s kind of become a COVID hobby,” Sue said. “We tried to buy locally where we could.” The social club is already donating funds it would normally spend on Christmas parties and other events cancelled due to COVID-19. For every $10 raised in the raffles, the club will hang another bauble on its resident Christmas tree. “We’re more than willing to go and get another if we fill this one,” Sue said. Sue has worked in life-saving research with her colleagues on viruses including Ebola,

Nipah and Hendra, along with 15 years studying the flu. More recently, they have conducted animal trials for COVID-19 vaccines and tested treatments on lab-created lung structures. “We’re a small part of the big picture,” Sue said. For the first time Geelong Giving Tree Appeal organisers are calling for monetary donations instead of gifts, in a COVID-safe bid to raise $100,000 for gift cards for disadvantaged families.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING SEVEN, PRIME7, 7.30pm

!Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy gave movie fans one of the most thoroughly engrossing spectacles ever to have graced a cinema. Picking up from The Two Towers, The Return of the King sees the original Fellowship still fractured, with Frodo (Elijah Wood), Sam (Sean Astin) and duplicitous Gollum (Andy Serkis) making their way to Mount Doom. Meanwhile, Gandalf (Ian McKellen) tries to thwart Gondor’s senile wannabe king (John Noble), while king-proper Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen, pictured with McKellen) tries to raise an evil-smiting army. A magnificent conclusion to a cinematic saga that will probably never be topped.

We’ve sat by and watched – and judged – these hardworking pairs for months as they smashed, sanded and decorated their way through their renovation dreams.

Live shows return to arts centre By Luke Voogt Quirky cabaret comedian Jude Perl joins an eclectic bunch of artists for the long-anticipated return of live performance at Geelong Arts Centre next February. Jude Perl has been confusing audiences for years, according to her website. With her misplaced musical talents and low-fat air-frying technology, she is fast becoming a household name for up to and including seven households across Australia, promoters say. “Jude Perl folds up for easy storage under the bed, behind the curtains, uncomfortably attached to a conversation she’s not really included in, or secretly crying in a rheumatologist’s waiting room. “Try a Jude Perl today, and if you’re not completely satisfied, maybe don’t mention that to her because she’s incredibly sensitive.” The three-time Green Room Awards’ best original song winner joins artists and groups such as Meow Meow, The Musical Sprouts, Silvie Paladino, The Syncopators, One Fell Swoop and Dolly Diamond for Geelong Art Centre’s summer season. The centre this month raised the curtain on The Summer Sessions, which include performances taking place outside under a big top. “We are thrilled and excited to showcase the creative talent of some incredible artists and safely celebrate this milestone of returning to live audiences,” centre chief executive officer Joel McGuinness said. The sessions also include Ferne Millen’s photographic exhibition, Journey on Wadawurrung Country, along with educational activities and industry networking events. Mr McGuinness said Geelong Arts Centre

was working closely with Geelong council to collaborate on further opportunities for The Summer Sessions. The centre “scrupulously adheres” to COVID-safe principals, including

the mandatory wearing of face masks, ample sanitisation stations and physicallydistanced performance spaces for audiences, he said. The sessions take place inside and outside

Geelong Arts Centre’s recently-redeveloped Ryrie Street building. Mr McGuinness thanked state government and Deakin University for their support of the event.

Disney-themed gig a wish come true A Disney-themed live-streamed extravaganza will be Belmont actress Sally-Anne Cowdell’s first time performing in eight months and could be her last for months to come. Now seven months’ pregnant, Cowdell will belt out tracks such as You’ll Be In My Heart, which Phil Collins recorded for Tarzan in 1999. “It’s a beautiful ballad that I’ll probably cry in – but we’ll see,” Cowdell said. “It might be my last sing for a while.” The 33-year-old will join five other talented vocalists in Geelong Lyric Theatre Society’s Wish Upon A Song at Geelong Arts Centre next Saturday, November 28. “I grew up with Disney. A lot of the songs didn’t take much learning because you already know them from singing along,” she said. “I’m absolutely stoked to represent the Lyric and share the joy of singing with others in pretty much the only way we can. “It will be interesting singing to a camera and not an audience, but hey, we’ll give it a go.” She saw the five other vocalists face-to-face for the first time since March during rehearsals beginning a fortnight ago. “It was so nice just to be able to share music with others – I think you forget how amazing it is until you begin doing it again,” she said. Cowdell has performed with Lyric since her first show with them at age 16 in 2003. “They’re a real family company,” she said. Initially the company had planned the Disney-themed show for earlier this year, but COVID-19 stopped that. Since then Cowdell has had the “very challenging jobs” of teaching singing over web conferences and getting “all the tricks out” to keep her two-year-old son Axel entertained. “It’s been really nice that the parks have opened again,” she said. “I never knew how important they were until they closed.” Joining Cowdell for a duet of Love Is An Open Door, from Frozen, is Armstrong Creek actor Bryce Baumgarten.

“Sally’s got a beautiful warmth to her voice,” Baumgarten said. “Last time I saw any of them was our final rehearsal back in March. I think the next day the decision was made that we couldn’t go ahead, which was the right one, but devastating. “It was cathartic for us to all have a giant sing together again. There’s something really magical about it.” Baumgarten, 40, trained at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts and retired from professional acting about a decade ago. But he has plenty of friends still in the biz who have lost livelihoods during the pandemic. “Musical theatre is not the most stable of professions, so when you land those big gigs it’s very exciting,” he said. “I had friends in Shrek, Billy Elliot, and in the blink of an eye that was gone. They’ve had giant shows and tours cancelled, so some of my friends are shattered.” But he thanked Geelong Arts Centre for supporting a local group such as the Lyric for Wish Upon A Song, which includes pre-recorded backing vocals by Geelong Youth Choir. “We’ve got a really lovely mix of classic songs and newer stuff,” he said. Baumgarten will sing hits Friend Like Me from Aladdin and Hakuna Matata from The Lion King. “These songs are so ingrained in us from watching them as kids. I’m just grateful for an opportunity to show what this performance is going to be like when it’s finally staged for a live crowd.” Details: geelongartscentre.org.au Luke Voogt Sally-Anne Cowdell and Bryce Baumgarten (inset) join four other local vocalists for Disney-themed live-streamed show Wish Upon a Song.

Geelong hospital has introduced strict new limits on hospital stays, forcing new mothers out after as little as two days, Member for South Barwon Alister Paterson told state parliament yesterday. Mothers having undergone caesarean sections have to leave after four days under the new limits.

The Bracks Government and the Liberal Party drew up battleplans for six Geelong seats yesterday as state parliament sat at Deakin University. Victorian voters go to the polls a year from next Friday.

“Overwhelming” demand is forcing Geelong support services to turn away children seeking help with domestic violence, according to a provider. Glastonbury Child and Family Services chief executive Gabrielle Nagle said the service was unable to cope with the amount of children desperate for help.

A councillor’s tweet suggesting Mayor Darryn Lyons was a “rainbow vomit uber-bogan” has reignited City Hall’s bullying issue. Cr Jan Farrell’s tweet also said: “Beware loud suits and colourful mohawks”.

Central Geelong Christmas Trail The Central Geelong Christmas Trail offers so many fun and unique elements to enjoy in Central Geelong from November 23. Follow the trail to discover giant 3D artworks, an augmented reality adventure where you can watch some cute Christmas characters getting ready for Christmas and social media filters that put you in front of the Floating Christmas Tree. There’s also a series of

Christmas in Central Geelong colouring sheets that come to life with the help of augmented reality. You’ll discover the delights of two themed Christmas windows depicting Santa’s workshop and sleigh and you can post your letters to Santa at the North Pole letterbox located at the Carousel and the Geelong Library and Heritage Centre. We encourage you to post your letters to Santa earlier this year to allow for postal delays and to receive a letter back from Santa. You’ll also be able to pop into one of several Santa Stops located throughout Central Geelong to collect Christmas treats from participating businesses.

Local DIY enthusiasts, Brendan and Brett assemble just about anything in flatpack form – sheds, barbecues, fitness equipment, beds, home, office and outdoor furniture, greenhouses, trampolines … the list is endless. They do the assembly at the customer’s place of choice, position the assembled item where it’s meant to be and will take away all the leftover packaging if desired, which is then disposed of in an environmentally safe way.

Chevrolet Silverado coming Down Under

- all makes & models -

Customers in Australia will be able to access some of the biggest full-size trucks, beginning with the Chevrolet Silverado, through the newly established General Motors Specialty Vehicles (GMSV) network. The Silverado 1500, remanufactured to right-hand-drive by Walkinshaw Automotive Group, is the first entry, with the Silverado 2500 and the C8 Corvette to follow in late 2021. Potential customers can use the new ‘Find a Dealer’ tool on www.gmspecialtyvehicles.com to find their nearest GMSV dealer. North American full-size trucks are redefining the ute market in Australia, and GMSV will offer some of America’s most successful and highest-selling vehicles in the segment, said Joanne Stogiannis, director of GMSV. “We have launched with over fifty GM Specialty Vehicles dealers and look forward to adding more. Our GMSV dealers are now open for business in Australia.” The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado comes with a 6.2-litre EcoTec3 V8 petrol engine and 10-speed automatic transmission. It has a towing capacity of 4.5 tonnes with Tow/Haul mode, Trailer Sway Control, Hill Start Assist and Auto Grade and Cruise Grade Braking. Auto Lighting Test prompts drivers to conduct a trailer light test that uses an automatic exterior light sequence to help confirm that the trailer is properly connected.

An expanded range and tweaked styling set the Swift Series II apart from the previous model. (Pictures: Supplied)

Spirited Swift spreads its wings By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring The Suzuki Swift might be in the featherweight division of the car market, but joining the upgraded flagship Sport, the Series II is far from light-on in modern features of the automobile. With up to $2000 in added features, including advanced safety technology, the recently released Series II of the Japanese hatchback represents very good value for money at $18,990, plus on-road costs, for the entry-level Swift GL Navigator manual. The GL Navigator manual and automatic, GL Navigator Plus, and GLX Turbo automatic continues the three-model line-up. Two engines are fitted, either a 1.2-litre four-cylinder in the ‘Navis’, or a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder turbocharged unit in the GLX. Standard features across the board include blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, heated door mirrors and reverse parking sensors. New additions across all grades include digital speedometer and auto-up windows. Rear speakers, already standard in the GLX Turbo, have been added to the GL Navigator variants. Exterior design changes include a new front bumper and grille, and sporty alloy wheels.

Styling Exterior design changes include a newly engineered front bumper and grille, and new alloy wheels with low rolling resistance in keeping with its sporty nature. Rear door handles ‘hidden’ in the C-pillar again follow the modern design trend without taking anything away for the Swift character. The Swift Series II colour line-up remains the same, except for the two-tone grey which has been replaced with a single grey tone.

Interior A flat-bottom steering wheel, which is adjustable for tilt and reach in GLX only, gives the driver the ability to tailor the best position. The Swift has 242 litres of luggage space, 32 litres more than the previous model. The area has been optimised to carry a wide range of cargo, made easy to load by a high-lift tailgate.

Infotainment A 7-inch four-zone touch screen, situated at driver’s eye level on the central dashboard, enables easy access to audio and video playback and hands-free phone and navigation. Thanks to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the driver can also connect a smartphone.

Engines / transmissions The GLX test car was powered by a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder putting out 82 kW of power and 160 Nm of torque. The GLX Turbo gets a six-speed torque-converter auto as its only transmission option. The GL Navigator and GL Navigator Plus are powered by a 66 kW / 120 Nm 1.2-litre four-cylinder motor. Both are available with automatic CVT transmission. A five-speed manual is also available in the base GL Navigator.

AT A GLANCE MODEL RANGE Suzuki Swift GL 1.2 Navigator manual $18,990

Safety More and more new vehicles are taking up advanced warning systems such as blind-spot monitoring which detects vehicles in or approaching the rear blind spots flanking the Swift with an illuminated LED icon in the relevant exterior mirror. Rear cross-traffic alert uses side radar to alert the driver of approaching vehicles on either side of the vehicle when reversing the Suzuki out of car park spaces. Reverse parking sensors and heated door mirrors complete the picture behind. On top of the above are six airbags, standard across the Swift range, active safety takes in electronic stability control, ABS anti-skid braking with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. The GLX adds autonomous emergency braking.

Driving With peak power of 82 kW at a distant 5500 rpm, the 1-0 litre three-cylinder motor needs some attention to get the best out of it. Turbocharging earns its keep here. Engineers looked to Europe for Swift nimbleness and agility from a the carried-over platform and suspension. For example, a new underbody contributes to lower fuel consumption and better performance in terms

Suzuki Swift GL 1.2 Navigator automatic $19,990 Suzuki Swift GL 1.2 Navigator Plus automatic $21,490 Suzuki Swift GLX 1.0 Turbo automatic $25,290

of acceleration, turning and stopping. Steering is sharp with a light and highly rigid suspension and is able to follow contours in the road but does pick up bumps and share them equally among all occupants. Large glassed areas all round make for a bright interior, wide views for passengers and the expansive rear window fills the whole of the interior rear-view mirror giving the driver, together with reversing camera, a safe indication of what’s behind. Petrol consumption on test averaged 6.7 litres per 100 kilometres in city and suburbs, and 3.8 litres per 100 kilometres at motorway speeds, which just about fits in with the car’s claimed 5.1 litres per 100 kilometres combined urban / highway figure. The new Swift Series II has a five-year unlimited kilometre factory warranty. It also has a capped price service program of

12-month / 15,000 km service intervals for GL Navigator variants and 12-month / 10,000 km service intervals for the GLX Turbo (the test vehicle).

Summary Suzuki works well in a highly competitive small-car market, has expanded and upgraded its best-selling Swift with the Series II. The winner could only be the buyer. 29 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 20 November, 2020

Local groms dominate home surf By Luke Voogt

Finals results:

Jan Juc and Torquay juniors dominated their home surf on Sunday, winning five out of six age divisions in the long-awaited Rip Curl Gromsearch. In his final year of competition at the event, Ethan Huxtable went head-to-head with younger rising star and fellow Jan Juc local Willis Droomer in a thrilling 16 and under final. Despite surfing an age division up, Droomer, 14, challenged his older competitor in a battle viewers described as “an amazing display of aerial manoeuvres” and “innovative surfing”. In the end, Huxtable narrowly came out on top with a 15.50 heat total to Droomer’s 15 in small but clean waves. Huxtable was thrilled to get the win at the Gromsearch, the first Surfing Victoria event in eight months since COVID-19 restrictions halted competition in March. “I’m super happy to win after a long break away from competition,” he said. “It was fun and super competitive going against Willis. He is super innovative with his airs, so it was great to get the win over him.” The top three from each division will progress to the national final at URBNSURF wave pool in Melbourne next year. “I’m stoked to be going to the national final at URBNSURF,” Huxtable said. “We have been spending some time up there since the lockdown ended and it’s such a perfect wave.” Asher Lens (Torquay) finished third on 10.67 points and Charlie Farrer (Barwon Heads) finished fourth on 9.10. After the disappointment of a narrow loss in

the 16 and under competition, Droomer went on to win the 14 and under final by more than four points. In the 16 and under girls, Torquay’s Emily McGettigan claimed “the biggest win” of her career by taking down former Australian champion Ellie Harrison from Barwon Heads. McGettigan finished on 13.34 points, ahead of Harrison on 12.67. “This is the biggest win I’ve ever had. It’s really built my confidence,” McGettigan said.

“The conditions were pretty slow out there but there was plenty of opportunity..” Finishing third and fourth respectively were Mia Huppatz (Jan Juc) and Poppy Corbett (Phillip Island). In the 14 and under girls, Jan Juc’s Isla Huppatz locked in the only perfect 10-point ride of the weekend on her way to a 17.83 heatl. Jan Juc’s Remy Filer won the 12 and under boys while Sophie Wilkinson (Shoreham) won the girls competition.

Last ball single in dramatic, ‘rare’ under 13s tie Dramatic scenes unfolded on Saturday morning in Leopold as an under-13s game ended in a thrilling tie. “It was very exciting,” said Leopold Horne under-13s coach Sean Boland. “Ties are very, very rare.” Leopold made 6/98 off 30 overs, batting first against Collendina Ellwood. With Collendina three wickets down and needing just a handful of runs in the final over, Leopold brought on leg spinner Tom Kneeshaw. “He was landing them in the right spots and he did really well,” Boland said. “We put him on in the last over just to take the pace off.” The choice worked with batsmen Augie Graham and Nate Bush managing just a few runs in the first five balls. With two needed off the last delivery, Augie blocked and ran as Nate took off from the other end. Tom slapped the ball towards the non-striker’s end, missing the stumps by just centimetres as Augie completed the single. Collendina parent Craig Cook said the boys “were pretty excited just to get the tie” as they were chasing a “mid-range score” for that age group. “They thought they were destined for a loss so they were pretty happy when they got out of it with a draw,” he said. “It was played in really good spirits.” In the Geelong Cricket Association division one firsts, South Barwon, North Geelong, Lara, Highton and Newtown-Chilwell scored wins. Angus Boyd made 109 in Newtown-Chilwell’s away win against Grovedale, while Sean O’Neill made 102 as East Belmont lost to North Geelong. With the ball, East Belmont’s Jack Jenkins took 4/41, North Geelong’s Tom Mathieson took 4/31, South Barwon’s Kyle Bienefelt took 4/19, Highton’s Nathan McCoach took 4/21 and Newtown-Chilwell’s Dylan Hodge took 4/24. North Geelong leads the division with three wins from three games, followed by Newtown-Chilwell and Murgheboluc on two. In the division one seconds, Grovedale, Highton and East Belmont remain undefeated. Luke Voogt 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 20 November, 2020

Tuohy, Stanley and Parfitt re-sign at Cats Geelong ruckman Rhys Stanley has signed a one-year contract extension while Irish expat Zach Tuohy and much-improved midfielder Brandan Parfitt have signed for two years. Raised in Darwin, Parfitt, 22, played senior football in South Australia before the Cats selected him at pick 26 in the 2016 AFL draft. He has played 72 games since 2017 and kicked 33 goals. Parfitt took his game up another notch in 2020, recording the second-most tackles (106) in the AFL, and showed superb commitment to ground-level contests averaging 16 disposals per game. He played on with a broken thumb in Geelong’s grand final loss to Richmond last

month. “Since arriving at the club, he has developed into one of the club’s most versatile players and we are excited to see where he can take his game in the next two seasons,” Geelong’s football general manager Simon Lloyd said. Stanley, 29, joined the Cats for the 2015 season and had a solid 2020, holding his own against and beating some of the best rucks in the AFL. The two-metre ruckman played 11 games in 2020, including all four finals, and kicked 10 goals. He has played 86 games for Geelong and 144 in total since debuting for St Kilda. Tuohy, 30, joined Geelong in 2017, after

playing 120 games at Carlton, and has become a club leader during his 85 games for the Cats. In 2020 he became the second Irish player to reach 200 AFL games, spent time in all three areas of the ground and played in all four finals. Usually a defender, the tough, long-kicking Irishman spent time in the midfield, and has always been a dangerous goal-kicke. “Both Rhys and Zach have become key parts of our team over the years and we are pleased they will be continuing with us,” Lloyd said. “We believe they will help us to continue to challenge for finals and a premiership.” Luke Voogt

Tom Stewart has signed an extension with the Cats until 2024. (Rebecca Hosking) 209075_01

Stewart signs until 2024 By Luke Voogt Dual All-Australian defender Tom Stewart has extended his contract with Geelong Cats until the end of the 2024 season. The intercept-marking defender has become one of the AFL’s elite back-men in his four seasons. Stewart was drafted as a mature-aged recruit in 2016 and debuted in the opening contest of the 2017 season, a win against Fremantle at Subiaco.

He has played 86 games and has become known for his cool head under pressure, clever use of the ball and his outstanding second, third and fourth efforts. He was named to the All-Australian team in 2018 and 2019, and has finished top six in the Carji Greeves Medal voting three times, including placing third in 2019. The 27-year-old has averaged just under 20 possessions per game throughout his career. Despite missing three games with a broken collarbone in 2020, Stewart finished the season

ranked first in the AFL for marks (125), second in rebounds (102) and fourth in kicks (263). “In a short time Tom has established himself as a club leader and an elite player in the AFL,” Geelong’s football general manager Simon Lloyd said on Wednesday. “Tom is an integral member of our team. He is heavily-invested in all aspects of the club and is a true leader. “Tom has progressed from our VFL program through strong character and work ethic and has always put the needs of the Geelong Football Club ahead of his own.”

The outer harbour is still providing anglers with some great snapper fishing this past week with reports continuing to flow in of fish holding in great numbers. Alcoa Pier is one of the current hotspots if you’re chasing a few pinkies for the table, with large numbers of fish to 40cm right along the pier. Casting soft plastics such as Berkley Gulp 3” Minnows has been dynamite, with plenty of bi-catch such as salmon and pike. Clifton Springs through to Portarlington has a lot of boat traffic and for good reason, the snapper are going nuts! Anywhere along the channel has definitely been the hot spot, with reports of fish to 6kg in solid numbers. Jimmy Robinson and Kevin Hunter from Trelly’s got out at the weekend to fish the BLGSF Club’s annual snapper comp, taking out first place with the winning fish going 6.9kg on just 4kg line. The squid fishing towards Queenscliff is on fire with crazy numbers of squid accessible to both land-based and boat fishermen. The land-based hot spot has been off the surf, just to the right off bell reef. Wading out and sending out a big cast to reach the weed beds has been very productive with anglers having no issue in finding a bag of squid. Fishing from a boat has also been accounting for plenty of squid right along the bight area, with big jigs working a treat. The run of snapper off Barwon Heads has shown no sign of slowing down as the reports just seem to keep getting better and better with the numbers and size constantly improving. Fishing in depths between 20 – 60 metres has been holding plenty of fish, with the 30m line being most productive. Offshore at the moment is starting to show some of its variety of species with gummy sharks still in great numbers, tuna being sighted and even a kingfish caught whilst snapper fishing. The Barwon River is starting to clear up and some of our favourite summer species are starting to come back on the chew, in particular the redfin and estuary perch. Casting small paddle tail plastics rigged with a spinner blade anywhere from the Shannon Avenue bridge right through to Queenspark has been holding the majority of the fish. As the weather warms up we can expect to see some natives come onto the chew such as yellowbelly and bass.
