Businesses rebound By Luke Voogt A laser tag group that made just $90 in six months and survived near closure amid COVID-19 is among many Geelong businesses now rebounding from the pandemic. Next Level Skirmish had just one booking between when COVID-19 hit and mid-November, making the North Geelong business $90 in revenue, according to manager Will O’Connor. “We were almost forced to close forever,” he said. But semi-retired businesswoman Amanda Bennetts stepped in, purchasing the business last October. “When Amanda took over that saved my job and the business,” Mr O’Connor said. “There was a sense of relief of having an income again. Amanda and I have been putting a lot of work in to promote the place.” By December the business was exceeding its average pre-COVID attendance of about 60 people a weekend. “Now it’s about 70 to 80 people,” Mr O’Connor said. “Melbourne has opened up now so more people are coming down. They’re like, ‘we’ve been locked up for so long we just want to do something’.” Ms Bennetts, a former high-level executive who moved to Geelong in 2016, hopes to purchase at least four more local businesses in a bid to save jobs. “I was feeling a bit frustrated seeing the world falling apart around me and I wanted to use my experience to help,” she said. On the Bellarine, Drysdale Cheeses is also rebounding from the pandemic. The producer initially lost 90 per cent of its business after shutting its restaurant due to coronavirus restrictions, according to owner Corinne Blacket. But a new ‘Bellarine Boxes’ initiative which showcased produce from across the peninsula, and restaurants which already used her produce moving to home deliveries, helped the business survive. “We just started packing everything instead of just packing it in,” Ms Blacket said. Now business is picking up again thanks to the “marvellous support” of locals and Ms Blacket is set to install new solar panels at her cheese factory with help from a $5000 grant

$60,000, plus a $10,000 council grant, to begin manufacturing equipment to warm patients during surgery to gain a foothold in the US market, Mr Sinha said. He planned to continue making PPE, even as demand for medical equipment begins to grow again. “We are positioning ourselves as a permanent supplier not just for Australia but the world,” he said.

Geelong Chamber of Commerce president Mark Edmonds said most local business owners were feeling positive, despite “a touch of fear” about “the odd COVID-19 case popping up in Melbourne”. But hospitality businesses in central Geelong relying on trade from office workers would continue to struggle with the state government this week delaying its return to work plans for private and public sector offices.

Police investigate assault, stabbings Police are investigating two separate stabbings in the Geelong area that occurred less than a week apart. A man sustained stab wounds in an assault at Bonang Court, Corio, about 7.20pm on Wednesday night, according to police. Paramedics took the man to Geelong hospital with multiple injuries. Ambulance Victoria confirmed the man was in a stable condition.

He was discharged from hospital early yesterday morning. Police yesterday arrested a 43-year-old man in relation to the incident. He is said to be assisting with their inquiries. Police are also continuing to investigate the stabbing of a 16-year-old Point Lonsdale boy on New Year’s Eve at Ocean Grove. According to police, the victim was in the vicinity of the beach shower facilities

near Bonnyvale Road when a group of males approached him about 10pm. A verbal altercation took place and the teenager was then stabbed to the upper body. Paramedics took him to hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries. The offenders fled on foot and police arrested a 17-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man nearby. Investigators interviewed the males, both from Geelong, before releasing them pending further

inquiries, a police spokesperson said. Police had yet to identify any other suspects yesterday afternoon, the spokesperson said. They urged anyone who witnessed either incident or with any information to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au Luke Voogt

Manhunt for Torquay firebug By Luke Voogt A spate of blazes across Torquay has prompted a police manhunt to prevent a potentially “catastrophic” fire in the town this summer. Detectives believe a sole offender could be responsible for 10 fires, beginning with a blaze at the Grand View Road property of Richmond Tigers player Nick Vlastuin on October 23. Police obtained CCTV footage of a masked offender lighting the fire in the early hours of the day before the AFL Grand Final but have yet to apprehend a suspect. The nine following fires occurred within a four-kilometre radius of that incident, Torquay Crime Investigation Unit Detective Sergeant Duncan Frame said.

anything with the weather we’ve had.” Police have also obtained CCTV footage which shows an offender hurling a flaming object to ignite a structure fire at Central Avenue on December 16. With hotter, drier weather forecast for the weekend and next week, Detective Sergeant Frame said police would increase their patrols in the area. During 29 years in the force the detective has attended the aftermaths of bushfires and several fatal house fires. “I’ve seen the devastation and harm that

they can cause and the speed at which they can spread,” he said. He urged anyone with information about the fires to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report it online at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au. “My gut feeling is that someone in the town will know who this person is – we just need them to come forward with that information. “If we can identify who it is, we can deal with it from a criminal perspective but also from a welfare perspective.

“We believe based on that – and the type of fires they have been – that it’s the one person.” The majority of fires occurred during December. The most recent was on New Year’s Day at the Australian National Surfing Museum toilet block. The fires include four at recently-completed or under-construction buildings, including at least two using accelerant, and another six suspicious bushfires. Detective Sergeant Frame said a bushfire at Deep Creek Reserve on December 30 could have had catastrophic consequences if not for unseasonably cool weather and a quick response from firefighters. The reserve is adjacent to several homes, he said. “That could have really taken off if it was a bit drier and we had a hot wind, which would have put a number of lives and houses at risk. “CFA attended and managed to put [the various bushfires] out before they spread too far. “That’s probably down to luck more than

Paid parking returns to Geelong By Luke Voogt Paid parking resumed in central Geelong on Monday with fees increasing to $3.10 per hour in some parts of the CBD. The resumption follows eight months of free parking in central Geelong as part of council’s COVID-19 relief measures. According to council, the initiative formed a large part of its $16.9 million in COVID-19 support measures for 2020. As paid parking returns, council will resume its trial of 30-minute free parking in central

Geelong’s two-hour (2P) zones until June 30. Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher said the trial aimed to encourage more visitors to the CBD and increase economic activity for businesses impacted by COVID-19. “Council’s excited to resume the trial of free parking in two-hour zones,” Cr Asher said. “We know this is an incentive for visitors to stop and shop in the CBD. We also want to examine the impacts it has on usage, turnover and our community and business sectors.” City Hall’s system will automatically reduce the charge in two-hour zones by 30 minutes

for one transaction per vehicle per day. All motorists will need to enter their vehicle registration via parking meters or an app, and adhere to time limits. Motorists can pay via coins, tap-and-go or through the EZiCom and EasyPark apps. Parking meters will no longer issue paper tickets but motorists can print a hard copy of their receipt on site. Credit card insert technology is being removed from Geelong meters due to limited usage, according to City Hall. Council’s Park and Ride pay-for-use service

also resumed on weekdays from January 4, running from Upper Hearne Parade in Eastern Park through central Geelong. Parking will remain free but time-limited on weekends. In adopting its 2020-2021 budget last June, council approved an increase from $3 to $3.10 per hour for casual parking. Council also approved an increase from $5.80 to $6.40 in three-hour, four-hour and all-day capped street parking, and increased all-day fees at Haymarket car park from $13 to $13.50. The changes came into effect on Monday.

Nature in the frame Budding wildlife photographers can take their skills to the next level among the colourful flowers of Geelong Botanic Gardens next week. The garden’s education officer Jenny Possingham is running two workshops on turning the humble smartphone into a tool to capture the natural world. “There’s no shortage of backdrops,” the Highton local said. “People discover they can do more on their mobile phone than they thought was possible, which is what it’s all about. The best camera you’ve got is the one you’ve got in your hand.” Jenny has a PhD in biology, has worked in the field for decades and has been involved with the gardens for 15 years. “We have an incredible oasis of wildlife – everything from the fruit bats and possums that live in Eastern Gardens to the butterflies that feed amongst the flowers,” she said. “You can get lizards if you’re very lucky but

you’ve got to be quick. We do have a possum but it’s hard to photograph because it lives in a tree most of the time.” Jenny will go over the finer points of framing in the workshops. “A lot of it is about opening people’s eyes to what’s in front of them,” she said. “Number one is clean your lens!” The workshop fee also includes entry to the 56th Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at the National Wool Museum. The gardens will host a workshop for under-10s next week. Details: geelongaustralia.com.au/gbg Luke Voogt Jenny Possingham guides Anna Wood in the finer points of wildlife photography.

The disappearance of a 13-year-old from Corio on Tuesday has prompted police to call for public help to find him. Police yesterday urged anyone with information about missing teen Tyson to phone Geelong Police station on 5225 3100.

Koala rehabilitation efforts that caught the eye of international travel guide Lonely Planet have received a $9000 boost from council. Council recently awarded the amount to Koala Clancy Foundation, which has planted about 16,500 trees at 11 greater Geelong sites since 2016. Foundation president Janine Duffy recently appeared as spokesperson for Australia, which won Lonely Planet’s community restoration award for its koala rehabilitation efforts. The foundation plans to plant more than 3000 trees and shrubs along a corridor of privately-owned farmland near Little River. “This project is especially critical given the impact of climate change and the likelihood that koala habitat away from waterways will

become increasingly dry,” Ms Duffy said. “We’ve been lucky to find a landowner willing to provide a broad corridor, allowing us to convert a large area of farmland into grassy woodland.” The majority of trees for the project will be sourced from a local nursery, with others to be sown from seed by volunteers. Property owners Michael and Anne Smith said they had no hesitation in providing their farmland for the project. Windermere ward councillor and Lara local Kylie Grzybek stressed the importance of the You Yangs area for endangered native plants and animals.

Ocean Grove Cobras’ girls junior footy clinic, scheduled for January 17, has been postponed. The AFLW players cannot guarantee their attendance should they be asked to isolate prior to their season starting days after the clinic was scheduled to be held.

Geelong digs deep for Billy By Luke Voogt

eelong has thrown its support behind Leopold man Billy Bubb, who will likely never walk again following a motorcycle accident in South Australia. His mum Tracey Bubb was brought to tears by the “amazing” generosity of Geelong locals, who donated more than $35,000 through a GoFundMe campaign in just a few days. Tracey and husband Steve have been at the bedside of their now unconscious son at Royal Adelaide Hospital whenever COVID-19 visitation restrictions allow. “We knew he was a popular boy but we didn’t know he was this popular,” she said, bursting into tears.

‘‘

we don’t know how to thank the community - Tracey Bubb enough

’’

“We read out all of his Facebook messages that his friends send him and all the messages [from the GoFundMe page]. “Please keep sending the messages of love and support because I’m reading them all out to him.” Billy’s sister Amy drove to Adelaide with Tracey as soon as they heard about the accident. While there, Amy set up the fundraising page. “We’re pretty shocked at how much it has already raised,” Tracey said. “As a family we don’t know how to thank the community enough except to say thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.” She said her 22-year-old son had gone out of his way to help others prior to the accident. “If he had a mate in trouble whose car had broken down, or was drunk and couldn’t get home, or had broken up with a girlfriend – Billy was there. “It wouldn’t matter if he was having tea, asleep or what time of day it was – Billy would stop what he was doing.”

Billy was riding on the dunes at Beachport about midday on New Year’s Eve when he fell off his motorbike. A couple with a 4WD helped transport paramedics to Billy before an ambulance helicopter flew him to Royal Adelaide Hospital, Tracey said. Billy suffered two breaks to his lower back, a twice-severed spinal cord, lung damage and bruising to the brain in the accident, which South Australian police are now investigating. “He will never walk again,” Tracey said. “We just need his brain to be OK.” Billy is currently on a ventilator but is “doing some of the breathing himself” and occasionally twitches his arms, particularly his left arm, according to Tracey.

On Sunday doctors tried to reduce his sedation, but increased it again after he became agitated and his heart rate increased rapidly that night. The family are waiting for when doctors can safely wake him to determine if he has any brain damage. “Billy just needs a bit longer to rest, he’s been through a traumatic head injury,” Tracey said. “There’s no set time for when things should happen with brain injuries.” They will have to wait at least a couple of weeks before Billy can be transferred to the Austin Hospital in Melbourne. Amy has since returned to care for younger sister Chloe, who has a congenital heart condition, and run Ormond Road Fish and

Chips, which the family took over six months ago. “Our daughter Amy has just blown us away with her maturity,” Tracey said. “She’s not only [worrying] about her brother, she’s taking on the family business and looking after her sister.” Amy said she set up the fundraiser to help her parents with accommodation and travel costs. “It’s very rare for my family to ask for help, as we prefer toughing it out and doing it ourselves, but this time we do need help,” Amy said. “I knew how upset mum was and how stressed out she was about bills. I wanted them to be able to see Billy without worrying about it. “Because it’s raised so much we’re aiming for bigger and better things like any medical bills that might come up or renovations to make it safe for him to come home. “It’s just amazing how many people have reached out in different ways. “I’ve had tradies say that when it comes to house-renovating time, they’re happy to help.” Billy had been building a house, currently at lock-up stage, which he had meant to move into in a couple of months, Amy said. But following the accident he will likely have to remain with their parents for an extended period of time, she explained. “At the moment we’re just waiting for him to wake up.” Amy described her brother as a hardworking and fun-loving excavator driver who loves his job and having a beer or camping with friends. “He loves to have a laugh with family and friends and get a reaction out of everyone,” she said. Already Amy is promoting a safety message after what happened to her brother, who she said was “wearing the right gear” at the time of the accident. She encouraged motorcyclists to wear protective equipment. “If Billy wasn’t it would be a completely different story and we probably wouldn’t have him with us,” she said.

First greyhound death for 2021 By Luke Voogt Geelong has begun 2021 by recording the first greyhound death on an Australian track for the year, according to the Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds. An on-track vet euthanised Zed Bale after he sustained a broken leg during race seven at Geelong’s greyhound racing track on New Year’s Day. According to the steward’s report, Zed Bale collided four times with other greyhounds and fell at the first turn. He suffered a fractured humerus bone in his foreleg before the vet euthanised him. Three other greyhounds sustained injuries in the race. Zed Bale’s death follows that of Mepunga Force, which was put down on Boxing Day after sustaining a similar leg injury in Geelong. In 2020, six greyhounds were euthanised on the Geelong track in 99 race meetings. Stewards recorded 250 injuries at the track, including 47 major injuries, according to the Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds. In total, 72 greyhounds died on Victorian tracks in 2020, with 204 in Australia. Geelong ranked the sixth-deadliest Victorian track last year, according to the coalition.

HAVE YOUR SAY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT POLICY 2021-24 The City is seeking feedback on Council's draft Community Engagement Policy. At its 15 December 2020 Council meeting, Council endorsed a draft Community Engagement

The coalition’s president Dennis Anderson said the Geelong track “typified” the dangers that racing greyhounds faced in 2020. “The death of Zed Bale highlights the real problems of greyhound racing: curved tracks and greyhounds with broken legs being euthanised at the track. “We’re going to see a lot more of this in 2021. The only way to end greyhound suffering is to ban greyhound racing. “But until that happens, the industry must reduce on-track deaths and injuries by implementing safer tracks with an emphasis on straight tracks and six-dog races, as the industry’s own research recommends.” Greyhound Racing Victoria (GRV) has previously told the Independent that it has a long-term strategy in collaboration with the University of Technology Sydney to develop safer racing. GRV was using this approach to rebuild tracks across Victoria, a spokesperson said last year. Racing has undergone massive reform over the past five years in terms of dog welfare and GRV has introduced new initiatives to support seriously-injured greyhounds, according to the organisation. GRV did not respond to the Independent’s requests for comment this week.

Beaches trashed Rubbish strewn on local beaches on New Year’s Eve and during the holiday period has prompted calls from coastal residents for revellers and visitors to respect their surroundings. Torquay Lions Club president Bill Ferguson was disappointed by the amount of broken glass as he and fellow members collected dozens of bags of rubbish along the local foreshore on January 1. He said the amount of broken glass exceeded previous years. “Glass is our biggest enemy. It is difficult to spot in grassy areas, tedious to remove and it always concerns us that we might miss some shards which can cause severe gashes to feet. “It concerns us greatly that the careless actions of a few counter those who mainly did the right thing. “We don’t want visitors to Torquay to experience dirty and dangerous foreshore and beaches, which leaves a bad impression of our 8 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 8 January, 2021

Feed Me Bellarine extends its reach Ocean Grove-based Feed Me Bellarine will receive a state government grant of $75,000 aimed at boosting food relief activities for vulnerable Victorians. Feed Me Bellarine will use the money to further expand its work with the local hospitality industry and charity organisations such as the Salvation Army so that community members in need can get access to the food they require. The local group is one of 93 organisations

receiving funding across the state through the Community Food Relief Fund. Feed Me Bellarine was founded by Lana Purcell and chef Anthony Woodbury, turning potential food waste into cooked meals to feed families. It has grown rapidly and has expanded to the Surf Coast. Plans for a Geelong hub are underway. “This grant will make a real difference for local community members who are struggling

Fountain restoration underway

Top finish for tough year By Luke Voogt Shaun Altmann hopes to design robots to make life easier for others after topping Geelong’s ATAR scores amid a challenging 2020 for year 12 students. The Christian College student scored an almost perfect 99.85, including the highest possible study score of 50 in software development. “It was pretty surreal,” the 17-year-old from Bannockburn told the Independent. “There was a fair bit of shock and surprise. I was extremely happy that I was able to do so well. “My parents said they would have been proud regardless, but it was still a really proud moment to be able to do that well.” Shaun hopes to study in the burgeoning field of mechatronics at either Deakin or Monash universities. “They have a bigger focus on AI (artificial intelligence) in robotics whereas a lot of other unis look more at the manufacture of robots,” he explained. “I want to do the more humanoid robots.” His love of robotics grew from playing with Lego as a kid and later building basic machines and robots. “I liked being able to make things, but more than that, make things that are able to do something,” he said. Shaun also credits various teachers for stoking his interest in the subject. He wants to design robots that do tasks such as housekeeping to “make life easy” for the able-bodied and disabled alike. “Instead of unloading or loading the

Restoration is underway on the 116-year-old Hitchcock fountain in the Geelong Botanic Gardens. Donated by Geelong businessman and councillor George Michelmore Hitchcock, the fountain was erected in Market Square in 1904. The fountain was relocated to the gardens in 1912 when the Solomon Building was constructed on the western side of the square. Sculpted by German-Australian artist Otto Waschatz, the fountain features three detailed dragonfish, whose red tongues and gold paint have been uncovered during the restoration process. A plaque displaying Hitchcock’s name and the year 1904 was also exposed from underneath the footpath that surrounds the fountain today. Council’s works chair, councillor Anthony Aitken said the Hitchcock fountain was a significant piece of Geelong’s history. “It’s amazing to see how many historic gems we’ve already found on the fountain; it shows how valuable it is to restore these pieces,” Cr Aitken said. “By bringing the fountain back to its former glory, it will make a fantastic feature in the centre of the gardens.” The Friends of the Geelong Botanic Gardens is funding the restoration, donating $23,000 from its gift fund. Friends president Allison Martland said the fund allowed the group to support the gardens in practical ways. The restoration process includes cleaning, pressure washing, painting, and adding gold paint to the dragonfish to match the original design, along heritage guidelines. The fountain pond will be repainted to match the fountain’s colour and the pathway will be rearranged and resurfaced to match the height of the fountain. The restoration project is due for completion this month, depending on weather. The fountain has been restored several times, with the most significant works being carried out in 1984 and 2001.

dishwater, for example, you’ll have a humanoid robot that will do that for you.” Shaun acknowledged COVID-19 made 2020 more difficult for VCE students. “It has been harder, in that we’re not at school all the time – it’s not as easy to talk to teachers,” he said. “I might have had it slightly better because I’ve had a lot of support from family and teachers. “A lot of people said year 12 was going to be the most memorable, difficult and enjoyable year. It definitely has been.”

Shaun also scored 49 in systems engineering (completed in year 11), 45 in English, 46 in both maths methods and specialist maths and 44 in physics. “I’ve always liked maths and I’m lucky that I’ve been very decent at it.” He credits a simple philosophy for his success: “I’ve done subjects I really liked, so I’m more incentivised to keep doing them.” Clonard College’s Sidney Hoei, Kardinia International College’s Zane Gates and The Geelong College’s Danny Yang all placed just behind Shaun on 99.80.

MY GEELONG From Norlane traffic lights to festivals across Europe, Daniel Oldaker lives to entertain. He shares his career and colourful characters with Luke Voogt.

How did you get involved in performing? My grandfather was an amazing man who showed me magic tricks when I was young, which sparked my interest in performing. Creating wonder for others inspired me to perform magic for family and friends. Then, just like a rabbit in a hat, my interest in magic disappeared. Years later, I taught myself to juggle and started doing shows for parties and street theatre in the Ballarat mall. A local circus meet-up helped me develop my skills and I outgrew the pond, moving to the big smoke for fame and fortune. Developing shows for corporate events, private functions and street theatre set me up financially, so I went to New Zealand and completed a circus diploma. I spent years touring Europe, the Americas and Asia with my one-man and duo physical comedy shows. I have had some very crazy and fun shows at many festivals – mainly in France, Italy and Spain … I won the Busan International Comedy Festival’s Best International Act and played at Sydney Opera House. Who is Dandyman? He’s one of the characters I play, inspired by

physical comedians like Jacques Tati, Buster Keaton, Jim Carey and Rowan Atkinson. I created him for a show at the Adelaide Fringe Festival. He’s naive, charming and loveable with an absurd comedic edge. How are you coping with COVID-19? Our company pivoted fast during COVID. We created a very successful online variety show through Zoom and hired over 60 other artists from around the world. We were also involved in shows for councils and Melbourne Arts Centre. We are excited to be back out doing live shows and have been recently hired by Geelong council to activate the city with our ridiculously funny characters Nosey Parker and Sticky Beak. I have also performed as a chef character at the traffic lights near our house that received an overwhelming response. What do you like to do locally? I enjoy eating at The Geelong Boat House for its authentic sea view charm and Little Malop Street west for its easy-going care-free bars and restaurants. I love rollerblading, skateboarding and performing live on the waterfront. I also like to take friends for a riverside boulder dash at Buckley Falls, ride from Norlane to the city on the Bay Trail and kayak on Corio Bay. (Loouisa Jones) 224917_22

Tell us about you… I’m a physical comedian and producer – aka Dandyman – from Norlane and I perform with my partner Rani Huszar. I love to catch leaves in autumn, play music, golf and fun ball – which is a little bouncy ball but in a soccer-type form – rollerblade and paint. I grew up in Ballarat and lived in Melbourne for some time. I bought a house in Geelong as it’s close to Melbourne and the ocean, and has an amazing waterfront.

What’s something about you people might not know? I joggle, which is jogging and juggling combined. For information visit varietyville.net or wonderlandspiegeltent.com.au

Forty-five minute fast trains rocketing from Geelong to Melbourne will increase the city’s population by 10,000 immediately and by 40,000 people by 2021. Acting Premier and Planning Minister John Thwaites announced the figures as part of a final feasibility study on the fast rail link at Geelong’s Rippleside Jetty yesterday.

Geelong, still recovering from its new year hangover, is now bracing itself for a barrage of summer sport this month. In one of the region’s busiest periods, no less than seven regional, national or international competitions will be run and won, including three this weekend alone.

State government will hold talks “soon” with international air racing organisers as part of a push to bring the Red Bull race series to Geelong next year. But the iconic air race that has wowed worldwide audiences cancelled its 2011 season last year amid safety concerns.

Anglesea traders have felt the heat this summer with a 30 to 40 per cent drop in sales due to Great Ocean Road bushfires, according to local businesses. Business and Tourism Anglesea president Raylene Fordham said initial road closures after the fires had hurt local trade.

Acting class for tomorrow’s stars By Luke Voogt Herne Hill acting teacher Kirsty Reilly has “watched a few stars go through” during decades in the biz, such as Cate Blanchet, Sam Worthington and Toni Collette. Reilly taught Collette at the National Institute of Dramatic Art’s (NIDA) Sydney school years ago. “She had so much talent, she didn’t know where to put it,” she reminisced. “She was so expressive – she was almost bursting with energy. She came in like a dynamo – to train her to use that was really exciting.” Now Reilly hopes to help aspiring Geelong actors develop their skills and, perhaps, uncover a few future Hollywood heartthrobs. “Obviously it will be wonderful if we can inspire the next generation of stars,” she said. “But the skills that kids learn as actors are really important in other parts of their lives as well.” Reilly is involved in NIDA’s drama classes for various age groups at Geelong Arts Centre beginning later this month. “The workshops are aimed at young people and really inspiring them and immersing them in the craft of acting – whether that’s their acting in front of camera, their voice, their movement or their script work,” she said.

Reilly said the classes would help children develop their creativity, adaptability and communication skills, along with building their confidence. These skills would be handy in the professional and corporate worlds too, she said. Reilly, a NIDA graduate, has worked more than 30 years’ nationally and internationally as

a teacher, theatre director, choreographer and performer. She moved from Sydney to Geelong in 2000 to begin a family, she said. “I wanted to raise [my children] in a more half-country half-city kind of feel rather than the big smoke in Sydney.” Reilly was thrilled to return to face-to-face

classes and to bring the NIDA program to Geelong. “It’s the first time they’ve run the open program in Geelong,” she said. “It’s been a really difficult time – it’s amazing what you can accomplish on Zoom but it doesn’t compare to the energy of live classes. “Thank goodness we can now run it in this space with people creating stories.” Reilly admitted the return of COVID-19 cases in Victoria and tightened restrictions could make teaching a little bit more difficult. “It is quite tricky to do it in a mask,” she said. “It does have its challenges – when you can’t see if someone is smiling or frowning – but you just find ways to work around that. “Theatre is about communication and working together.” Geelong Arts Centre chief executive and recent NIDA graduate in cultural leadership, Joel McGuinness, welcomed the classes as a new pathway for local junior actors. “It is vital that emerging [performers] are able to hone their skills across a range of disciplines, from dance to drama, and find pathways to the creative industries,” he said. “I personally grew up in regional Australia and, through arts education at an early age, began my journey to professional practice [and] a lifetime in the industry.” Details: open.nida.edu.au

Live theatre back at Potato Shed in classic story Live theatre is set to make a long-anticipated return to the Potato Shed with a children’s classic containing “a bit less cannibalism” than the original. Resident company Theatre 3Triple2 will herald the start of the 2021 season next week with its take on classic Brothers Grimm tale, Hansel and Gretel. Belmont actresses Karina Whytcross (Gretel) and Alysha Kitchingham (Hansel) were thrilled to return to the stage after a year-long break from acting due to COVID-19. “I’ve been acting since I was nine and not being able to do it for the last year has been really stressful,” Whytcross said. “I don’t know how to say it without sounding cheesy but there was a hole in my heart. A chunk of my life was just nothing. “I didn’t realise how much I’d missed it until I started rehearsing. Now I’m complete again.”

The 19-year-old hairdresser is an avid children’s performer and joined Theatre 3Triple2 last year. “It’s just magical how much the kids get into it,” she said. The show, running twice-daily next Tuesday to Friday, differs from the original “in the nicest way possible”, according to Whytcross. “There’s a bit less cannibalism,” she said. Kitchingham agrees. “I think the witch still wants to eat us but it’s a bit more subtle,” she laughed. “There’s a song about making a soup out of Hansel. But they toned the story down so the kids don’t run screaming out the door. It’s more about the old witch just being mean.” Kitchingham, 24, is ecstatic to return to the Potato Shed, where she last performed in a version of Pinocchio last January. “That was the last hurrah before everything

went haywire,” she said. “I’m so excited!” She had been set to perform in productions of West Side Story and Legally Blonde in Geelong and Altona before COVID-19 decimated theatre worldwide. She is studying musical theatre at the Australian Institute of Music and recently started work as a singing teacher. Like Whytcross, she enjoys the energy of young audiences. “They yell at you during the show, which is both great and terrible,” she said. “It’s fun to ask them, ‘what do you think we should do?’ but it can be distracting. You need to know the story back to front.” Hansel and Gretel is the tale of two children who, abandoned deep in the woods by their father against his wishes, use their wits to avoid the fate bestowed upon them by their step-mother.

Chancing upon a gingerbread house, they are enticed inside by the resident witch, only to discover that what is nice on the outside is rotten within. Theatre 3Triple2 has a long tradition of entertaining the young and young-at-heart with pantomimes and plays. With limited tickets available due to restrictions, Theatre 3Triple2’s Chris Reynolds urged parents to book early online. “We can’t guarantee at this stage that door sales will be available,” he said. “We missed putting shows on in 2020 and we want to bring that back in a big way for 2021 – the only way to do that is for people to support it.” Bookings: geelongaustralia.com.au/ potatoshed Luke Voogt

Dedicated to traditions of Japanese cuisine Anyone familiar with Japanese cuisine will appreciate the skill and artistry involved, the dedication to simplicity, the adherence to long-held traditions, and plating that first “feeds the eyes”. It’s these elements that have made Sakuratei Japanese Cuisine a dine-in – but especially a takeaway – destination for the past nine years. Owned by Flora Lam, Sakuratei has evolved over the years. It’s recently been given a décor makeover to refine the dine-in experience, but still with clever chefs who’ve created a wide-ranging menu covering all the favourites, with a few more exotic dishes to sample. Flora says they cater mainly to the takeaway crowd, who can choose from bento boxes, hotpot, rice and noodle dishes, tempura and soups – and, of course, sashimi and sushi. Chef has recently introduced sticky rice hand rolls, with a unique natural violet colour – and, for the health-conscious, a great source of protein, iron and fibre. Flora recommends giving these a go. Vegos and piscatorians are spoilt for choice at Sakuratei, with a wealth of bean curd and fish-focused treats – always Japanese cuisine influences. But meat-lovers definitely don’t miss out, with many of the hotpots, bento choices, and noodle dishes replete with beef, chicken or pork. The friendly restaurant is terrific for grabbing a delicious healthy lunch, and there are so many choices to take home for dinner – or dine in and graze away. And the holiday season is the perfect time to get a made-to-order sushi platter, great for end-of-year office parties or any other small event throughout the year.

rolls make great starters, while the grilled eel atop vinegared rice is a little more exotic. The deeply comforting sukiyaki and yosenabe hot pots come with three choices of protein with vegie accompaniments – each with that distinctive “cleanness” for which the cuisine is famous. Yakisoba will satisfy the hankering for a

fried noodle dish, while the tempura bento box with chicken karaage (deep fried), tofu and harumaki gets a big tick. And pan-fried dumplings are always tasty morsels. Desserts? Yes. The offerings at Sakuratei run from the familiar banana tempura through to dorayaki – red bean pancake with ice cream, the latter also in the form of macha green tea.

FEATURING ... SENIORS

Growing a long life for Grovedale seniors Sunshine, fresh air and gardens offer a sense of connection and peace, promoting health, happiness and purpose. All of which have become more important as we spend more time at home and socially distance from friends and family. Studies have found that the integration of green spaces in urban community designs not only offer a place for neighbours to gather and socialise, but can reduce stress, encourage outdoor activity, and boost wellbeing. Ingenia Gardens Grovedale, Community Manager John Allen said the inclusion of a garden within an over 55s retirement community was a great way to get residents involved in outdoor activity and provide them with a strong sense of purpose. “The first thing that everyone comments on when they visit our community is our garden – I can see how proud it makes our residents to be recognised for their hard work,” Mr Allen said. “Some of our residents are green thumbs and love getting outside to work in the gardens, and for others, they just enjoy being able to appreciate nature and walk past them and smell the roses. “The gardens are our pride and joy and it’s something that the residents can call their own. It’s the small additions to the community, like the gardens, that can make a huge difference. “We talk a lot about the physical benefits of seniors being active, which gardening can certainly help support, but I think sometimes we forget about how beneficial and powerful that connection to nature can be.” Resident Errol Blocksage is an avid green thumb and was thrilled to be able to have the gardens in the community he has retired too. “I’ve dabbled in gardening for years and seeing that the community had such a beautiful garden was definitely something that drew me

to this community,” Mr Blocksage said. “It’s just nice to be able to get outside and use the open and green space to potter around and relax. I sneak in an hour or so wherever I can. “There are a lot of residents who join me in

the gardens and I enjoy having them here too, so it’s good to be able to socialise with others. “It’s really lovely that these gardens are for us, and that we can all enjoy them and work in them if we wish – having something of our own where we can see our efforts is important.”

Kathy Crouch and Ashlee Willis are back at the clinic and ready to welcome patients. (Supplied)

Get the most out of your hearing aid The new year has begun and audiologist Ashlee Willis and administrative assistant Kathy Crouch are back at Geelong Hearing Aid Services and ready to welcome patients back into the clinic. “We hope that everyone enjoyed a safe and merry Christmas and new year’s break,“ Ashlee says. “We’re back and will be open five days a week in 2021, offering a full range of services from diagnostic hearing assessments to hearing aid fitting and rehabilitation.”

Already have hearing aids? No problem, as Geelong Hearing Aid Services is an independent hearing care provider which means it works with a huge range of manufacturers and software and is able to service most currently available hearing aids. Ashlee says there are now so many options available when it comes to hearing aids. “The days of big and bulky are over, with more than one style and size to suit everybody. “But despite the huge toll hearing loss can

have on health and wellbeing, only one in five people who could benefit from wearing hearing aids actually uses them. We can help change those statistics. “Our friendly and passionate team will do their best to make sure you are getting the most out of your hearing aids.” If you’re worried about your hearing or a family member’s hearing, Ashlee and Kathy can arrange a full hearing health check as a first step to see how they can help.

Well worth considering

12451426-SN24-20

By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Hyundai i30 hatch has been a big seller for many years in Australia, but the i30 sedan, confusingly called Elantra rather than i30, is well worth consideration. The fourth generation Elantra reached us here in August 2006. Styling at that time was unashamedly Korean, with the sort of lines that didn’t appeal to Aussies. The fifth generation Elantra, from July 2011 is more European in style. Then from February 2016 the gen-six Elantra arguably led the way on the international market. It is not just the styling that’s making Hyundai Elantra stand out. The South Korean marques – Hyundai and Kia are allied with one another – and are starting to lead the world in build quality, owner satisfaction and reliability. Elantra is almost a full four-seater for adults in its latest iteration, with each new generation providing a slightly larger car with a bit more interior space. Headroom for tall travellers may be limited, especially if a sunroof is fiftted. Three kids in the back seat will have room to move, especially in the later generations. Power for the gen-four Elantra comes from 2.0-litre engine matched with either a fifve-speed manual or four-speed auto. A new generation four-cylinder 1.8-litre engine arrived in the generation-fifve Elantra, power was transferred to the front wheels though manual or automatic transmission, both with six forward ratios. This responsive unit and added gears improved performance and reduced emissions. An improved version of the 1.8 arrived with the next generation Elantra in 2016. Its capacity was increased to 2.0 litres. It also had a six-speed manual or six-speed auto.

The 2011 Hyundai Elantra. (Supplied)

October 2016 saw Hyundai stick a toe-in-the-water with a medium-performance model called the Elantra SR Turbo. It has been reasonably successful and owners say they love them. When looking to buy a used sporty car be aware it may have been thrashed. Late in 2018 the Elantra range received a facelit, with a cascading grille, redesigned headlights and taillights, an integrated bootlid spoiler and lower diffuser. Inside there’s a revamped dashboard, a Supervision infotainment cluster, there was a new steering wheel design and new trims and fifnishes. Hyundai Elantra Active gets an 8.0-inch touchscreen satellite navigation system paired with an eight-speaker Infifnity premium audio system with a DAB+ radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Since its early rough and ready days Down Under in the mid-1980s, Hyundai has improved out of sight and is now a major player on our market. Spare parts and servicing costs are about

average for this class and we’ve heard no major complaints on prices or availability of parts

What to look for We haven’t seen many ex-rental Hyundai Elantras, but be wary of any with a lot of kilometres on the clock. Seat trim and boot mats that are in poor condition may intricate an uncaring owner. It’s possibly also a sign of an ex-rental car. A clicking noise when the steering wheel is turned probably means coupling may be damaged. The covering on the steering wheel may flake off. It’s not a danger, but is unsightly. Make sure that all electrical items work correctly. Using the owner’s handbook instructions is the simplest way to make sure you cover everything. Check the engine starts easily, especially if it’s cold. A manual gearbox which crunches on fast downchanges could be due for an overhaul, or there may be a clutch problem.

Cats fight for top eight LOCAL CRICKET By Luke Voogt Geelong faces a crucial game against Footscray tomorrow as the club returns from the Christmas break with two wins and two losses. The Cats sit just outside the top eight behind the Dogs on net run rate. “It’s a big game on Saturday because they’re probably about where we are,” Geelong coach Nick Speak said just before training on Tuesday. “They’ve got a good blend of experienced players and emerging talent – similar to us.” Geelong’s experience was the key before the break as wicketkeeper-batsman Josh McDonald hit 126 off 112 balls to help the Cats score a thrilling upset against Melbourne University. University, last season’s minor premiers, won the toss and scored 6/287, setting Geelong a challenging chase. Captain Eamonn Vines and fellow opener Hayden Butterworth managed 35 for the first wicket before the latter was run out for 27. But Vines remained at the crease and provided the anchor for McDonald, who hit 15

fours and four sixes at his home ground for his second Victorian Premier Cricket century. “He found the boundary when he needed to,” Speak said. “Geelong’s a quick ground – if you find the gaps it’s often going to run to the boundary. “When he needs to clear that straight boundary he can. He rotated the strike well too; it’s as good a one-day innings as you could ask for.” The pair put on 159 for the second wicket before Vines was dismissed for 59 off 80 balls. McDonald batted on to get the Cats to 5/252 with Dom McGlinchey and Josh Garner seeing the Cats to a four-wicket victory (6/290) with just four balls left. McDonald also hit 52 against Carlton in round two and looks to have slotted in well at number three, averaging 53.5 so far this year. “He bounced around the order a bit last year so we’re trying to give him a bit of stability,” Speak said. Speak said the aggressive batting of Butterworth and McDonald combined well with the more conservative style of Vines. “All three have the ability to dial it back and have a long innings if needed.”

Footscray, which some rated a flag contender at the start of the season, has had an up-and-down year with bat and ball. The Cats have been similar, and their bowlers have shared the wickets since spearhead Brody Couch got a call-up to the Melbourne Renegades squad at the start of the Big Bash. The paceman has yet to play for the bottom-ranked Renegades. “I spoke to him yesterday and he’s still there,” Speak said. “Hopefully he’ll get a start – if they keep playing the way they are he will.” This Saturday’s game is important for the Cats and the Dogs, and will give both a good indication of their finals hopes. Speak was optimistic about January after upsetting the minor premiers, with the Cats set to face three bottom-eight sides and play two home games in their next four after the Dogs this month. “To get two and two with the draw we’ve had, we’re in a pretty good spot,” he said. “January is basically going to shape our season.” Geelong Cricket Association divisions one, two and three are set to resume on January 16.

Health hero Jo to run into the sunset Hundreds are set to run into the twilight next month with organisers planning to go ahead with the Bellarine Sunset Run. Long-time St Albans Park radiation therapist Jo MacCarthy was thrilled to return for her sixth half-marathon at the event after a challenging 2020. “I can’t wait!” she said. “I signed up the first day I realised registrations were open.” The 44-year-old has not missed the 21-kilometre run since the event began, although she ruled out a personal best on this attempt. “It definitely won’t be a PB,” she laughed. “I think I’m going to take it a bit slower, enjoy the scenery and cheer on people who are overtaking me.” MacCarthy has only just started getting back into serious training for the event.

“I think I need to step it out over the next four weeks,” she said. But she already demonstrated she could take things in her stride last year, her 20th at Andrew Love Cancer Centre, by adapting to extra COVID-19 safety measures at work. “You had to adapt very quickly,” she said. “We’re still wearing masks and doing a lot of extra cleaning. “All my relatives were in the lockdown region of Melbourne too – it made you realise how important it is to have family around you.” MacCarthy has completed 322 parkrun events, including the five Bellarine Sunset Runs, since her first event in 2012. “I hadn’t really done anything before that,” she said. “I think the next week I beat my previous run by six minutes. It became this excitement each week of seeing how much faster you could go.”

Organisers are planning to run the 21km and 10km events at the Bellarine Sunset Run on February 13 but are holding off on a decision for the fundraising four kilometre Bully Buster. “We’ve sold out the last five years and had up to 1200 participants,” organiser Dion Milne said. “At this stage the restrictions permit you to have 1000 but with everything that’s going on with COVID-19 in Victoria we’ve capped it at 500. “If we’re going to increase, we’ll increase [closer to the date].” Milne said COVID-19 safety would be top priority for the event and that he was finalising details for the starting and finishing procedures and other social distancing measures.

Tuna numbers hold strong ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos The Christmas holidays have definitely given us some fantastic fishing this season, with just about all target species chewing really well from around the local area. The biggest talk of the town has got to be the tuna off Barwon Heads, they have rocked up in massive numbers right along the coast from Port Phillip Heads through to Apollo Bay and in a variety of depths from 20m right through to 60m. Trolling small skirted lures with spreader bars or teasers has been a very popular method to get stuck into the action, with diving lures also producing the goods. More often than not, on an average day out there, you will find the tuna sitting on the surface which gives a great opportunity to cast surface lures into them. Although they are very tricky to tempt, the surface strike and bite off the top makes all the work well worth it. Yellowtail kingfish seem to be in ridiculous numbers at the moment off Barwon Heads. In 30 to 40 metres of water, there are heaps of fish ranging in size from just legal to about 90cm. Marking up fish on the sounder and dropping jigs on their heads should result in plenty of hook-ups. Trolling occy skirts has also been very productive in landing plenty of fish. Queenscliff has still got some fantastic fishing on offer with the harbour continuing to produce some quality fish. Pinkie snapper, salmon, trevally and even kingfish are all showing up in good numbers and are more than willing to snatch up just about any soft plastic that swims past their nose. The whiting are still biting well off the grassbeds around Queenscliff all the way up to St Leonards. Bag limit captures are quite frequent across boats, with fish reaching more than 40cm. The local estuaries have been fishing quite well for black bream over the past few weeks with good reports coming from most systems. Casting small soft plastic or hard body lures have been working a treat, as well as baits such as worms and prawns. Adam Van Der Lugt from Trellys Fishing World got stuck into some of the local bream fishing during the Christmas break, landing some absolute chunks to just over 48cm.
