Festival of flavour Ice cream lovers can overcome their COVID-19 melon-choly in an annual Surf Coast festival featuring 144 flavours including watermelon and feta next week. Aleesha Coots and Will Evans-Papinsky recently tasted the quirky concoction, one of 12 one-off flavours including parmesan and olive oil, siracha pretzels and black sticky rice banana. French opera cake, Turkish Delight Pavlova, charcoal Cherry Ripe and the Star Wars-themed Stormtrooper also feature on the festival’s menu. The Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery even has a few adults-only indulgences such as spiced Negroni and Yuzu whisky sour. Chocolaterie owner Leanne Neeland said her staff had heaps of fun inventing “adventurous flavour combinations” inspired by their kitchen garden and orchard, local suppliers and distillers, and favourite cakes. The festival comes as the chocolaterie rebounds from the devastating effects of COVID-19 on local tourism last year. The event runs at Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery, Bellbrae, from next Wednesday to February 21. Luke Voogt

Court cases pile up The backlog of pending criminal trials at Geelong County Court has almost doubled since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the Independent can reveal. Geelong County Court had 37 pending criminal trials when in-person County Court circuits were suspended in March, 2020. The court had 64 pending criminal trials as of this Wednesday. Local opposition MP Bev McArthur blamed the state government, accusing it of mismanaging the courts during the pandemic. “Victoria’s courts are burdened with huge

backlogs due to the Victorian government’s management of the COVID-19 scenario,” the Member for Western Victoria said. “The County Court [of Victoria] has a backlog of 1000 jury trials to be heard, with about 400 of these in regional Victoria. “People facing more serious charges could have a two-year wait. Months could go by just to see a magistrate. “All this is bad enough for the alleged perpetrator waiting to prove their innocence or otherwise. “But it’s the victims of crime who suffer the greatest violation – in the crime itself – and then in the wait for justice and resolution.”

Non-finalised pleas at Geelong County Court have remained level on 26 between January 27, 2020 and January 27, 2021, with 80 pleas finalised between those dates. The Productivity Commission’s Report on Government Services (Justice) shows that pending criminal matters in the Magistrates Court of Victoria have increased by 82 per cent from 2014-15 to 2019-20. The Magistrates Court of Victoria did not provide caseload statistics on Geelong Magistrates Court in response to the Independent’s inquiries earlier this week. Attorney General Jaclyn Symes was contacted for comment.

Following the suspension of in-person circuit sittings, the County Court of Victoria implemented a new process for regional matters. Under the process, all pleas and appeals against sentences are provided with a fixed listing date upon committal or appeal lodgement. “The majority of these matters were conducted virtually using video conferencing software, with appearances in court permitted under limited circumstances,” a court spokesperson said. “This has reduced the delay for these types of matters.”

Roadblock for COVID-19 recovery By Luke Voogt Central Geelong traders face yet another roadblock in their COVID-19 recovery after the state government delayed its return to work plans following a new positive case on Wednesday. Private and government workplaces were scheduled to return to 75 per cent capacity next Monday. But the state government postponed the plans after a 26-year-old man working in hotel quarantine tested positive. Geelong Chamber of Commerce president

Ben Flynn described the delay as disappointing for small traders relying on large organisations for business. “It’s heartbreaking for those businesses in the firing line of restrictions,” he said. “It’s another dent in their optimism and it creates a lack of certainty moving forward. “I know traders who were really looking forward to having those organisations return to 75 per cent. “It’s so, so important for those large employers to be tenants in the city.” But Mr Flynn said some traders were

“optimistic” following the recent return of private businesses and public organisations to 50 and 25 per cent office capacity respectively. “There are a lot of people around town but it’s not at the level that we would like to see.” Mr Flynn described Wednesday’s positive case and the subsequent return-to-work postponement as “unfortunate timing”. “Regional areas are disadvantaged when the cases are in the city,” he said. But he said he supported state government decisions made with the “best possible health advice”. “I think we’ve enjoyed some great

freedoms recently as a result of that.” Premier Daniel Andrews on Wednesday night confirmed the positive case, the first locally-acquired Victorian case in almost a month. Mr Andrews announced the limit on home visitors would revert from 30 back to 15 and that masks would become mandatory again for all public indoor spaces. He warned the hotel quarantine worker could have infected many others, but in a press conference yesterday morning said an initial round of tests on potential contacts had come back negative.

Along with local causes, proceeds go towards Rotary’s global efforts such as its mission to eradicate polio, which still affects some Third World countries. “By simply buying and reading some books you are helping to change lives – just a small contribution, but such a big result,” club president Freda Wright said. Geelong Regional Library supports the sustainable fair by donating thousands of

“retired” titles each year. “It’s wonderful to see items from our collection finding new homes in the community rather than ending up in landfill,” library chair Ron Nelson said. This year the event also celebrates 100 years since the founding of the first four Rotary clubs in Australia and New Zealand. The Book Fair begins at Geelong West Town Hall on Friday, February 19, running from 9am to 8pm. The fair continues from 9am to 5pm on February 20 and 9am to 2pm on February 21. Luke Voogt

A man charged over the death of a Thomson mother, four weeks pregnant with her third child, is set to front court later this month. Michelle Norris, 40, died in her home on Sunday, January 31, after she was allegedly assaulted. Emergency services attended a house on The Walk just after 9.30pm following reports of an assault. They found Ms Norris in a critical condition and attempted to revive her, but she died at the scene. Police arrested Thomson man Timothy James O’Shannessy, 42, outside the unit. Geelong Family Violence Investigation Unit detectives subsequently charged him with assault, intentionally causing injury and recklessly causing injury. Detectives also charged him with contravening a family violence order intending to cause harm and committing an indictable offence while on bail. A Victoria Police spokesperson confirmed O’Shannessy and Ms Norris knew each other. O’Shannessy’s lawyer Simon Northeast appeared at Geelong Magistrates Court on behalf of his client on Tuesday. Mr Northeast made no application for bail for his client and a magistrate remanded O’Shannessy to appear for a further hearing on February 12. Luke Voogt

Metro exodus renews funding call By Luke Voogt Australia’s largest capital city exodus on record, amid COVID-19, has prompted renewed calls for infrastructure spending in Geelong and surrounding regions. Provisional Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) internal migration data released on Tuesday showed the nation’s capital cities had a net loss of 11,200 people between July and September 2020, the largest since records began in 2001. Greater Melbourne had a net loss of 7400 people, including 4700 people to

the rest of Victoria. Melbourne had an even greater net loss of 8000 the previous quarter, including 5900 to the rest of the state. While the ABS has yet to release local migration data, multiple real estate agents have previously told the Independent that their inquiries from potential Melbourne-based buyers have doubled. An influx of Melbourne buyers has also driven house prices up in Geelong and the Surf Coast by 7.7 and 15.5 per cent respectively, according to the Real Estate Institute of Victoria. Newly-appointed chief executive of

regional alliance G21, Giulia Baggio, vowed to vigorously pursue funding for infrastructure projects amid the population surge. She pointed to G21’s regional growth strategy, released in 2013, which looks forward to 2050. “[It sets] out where growth can take place sustainably and, importantly, where it should not,” she said. The document outlines road, rail, health, education, community and sustainability infrastructure needed to create jobs while preserving the region’s character and environment, according to G21.

“The G21 councils and community members have vigorously pursued these initiatives and will continue to do so, especially with the upsurge of people now wanting to make the region home,” Ms Baggio said. She noted Geelong council’s planned northern and western growth areas, set to house 110,000 residents by 2050, and the 6500-home Bannockburn growth area. “The G21 region is well-prepared and better positioned than many others to handle a surge in city-to-region migration, which brings opportunities as well as challenges,” she said.

Cabinet open to world Pia Cook hopes to open her curious cabinet of colourful elixirs and shrubs to the world through council’s new curated catalogue. “I’m excited about who might pick that up; dignitaries and visitors from across Australia and – once COVID’s over – from across the world,” the Geelong West mum said. Her business The Curious Cabinet was one of almost 50 chosen to feature in the CODE Souvenir Geelong catalogue. “I launched the business about 18 months ago but I’ve been working on those syrups since I was pregnant with my son five years ago,” the 45-year-old said. “I wanted something that was a bit special and non-alcohol that wasn’t a soft drink – I don’t like soft drink.” Pia began researching shrubs after discovering them in an article. “It’s an American colonial style drink from before they had refrigeration,” she said. “They’ve got a combination of sugar, vinegar

and fruit. With my pregnant taste buds I thought, ‘oh, that sounds good’.” After a few years, friends and family encouraged her to start a business. “They raved about how they had never tasted anything like it and how refreshing they were,” she said. She now sells the shrubs in 25 shops across Australia, along with carbonated versions and preserves made with leftover fruit. “My husband also enjoys using them as mixers,” she said. CODE Souvenir Geelong follows a similar initiative by fellow UNESCO ‘city of design’ Montreal. The catalogue will feature locally-crafted jewellery, glass and ceramics, artisan food and drinks, clothing, homewares and original art. “To be featured alongside of all of those is really promising,” Pia said.

Drysdale housing plan rejected By Luke Voogt Council has rejected plans for a 34-lot subdivision in Drysdale following 56 objections and a 35-signature petition. Developer Culture Homes applied to create 34 vacant lots with an internal horseshoe-shaped road on a 1.96 hectare site at 5-17 Oakden Road. The proposed lots vary in size from 325 square metres to 1385 square metres, at an average of 443 square metres. The proposal involves removing all existing vegetation onsite. But a council planning committee last Thursday night recommended the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) refuse a permit for the subdivision. Objectors, many from neighbouring properties, opposed

the subdivision’s density, potential impact to neighbourhood character, traffic and safety, loss of trees and habitat, and drainage. Planning committee chair Kylie Grzybek said while the subdivision met many planning requirements, council had too many concerns to recommend a permit. “The committee has considered the application carefully and listened to the views of the local community,” she said. Cr Grzybek said the subdivision did not meet the expectations of Drysdale residents and the council’s aim to protect the character of Bellarine towns. “The number of small lot sizes and the loss of vegetation were of particular concern.” The committee also included mayor Stephanie Asher, deputy mayor Trent Sullivan

and councillors Jim Mason, Belinda Moloney and Bruce Harwood. VCAT will hold a compulsory conference on April 28 ahead of a case hearing on June 23 to 24.

The council’s recommendation to VCAT comes after it controversially approved plans for a 550-house estate in Drysdale last December. Council adopted an amendment to rezone 28 ‘rural living’ properties on either side of Central Road, Drysdale, to support the proposed estate. Councillors Asher, Sullivan and Anthony Aitken opposed the plans, with Cr Mason abstaining, but the remainder of councillors voted in line with an independent committee’s recommendation to approve the amendment. Council received 71 public submissions on the proposal, with 64 objections. The proposal is before Planning Minister Richard Wynne, with Drysdale Clifton Springs Curlewis Association appealing for him to intervene.

Little ‘warrior’ Brayden shows plenty of heart Life has “changed in a heartbeat” several times for Natalie Whitford and Colin Shallue since a 14-week pregnancy scan of their then-unborn son. Initially specialists told the Batesford couple that their son Brayden had a severe congenital heart condition called hypoplastic left heart syndrome. At 22 weeks another scan revealed he did not have the condition. Instead, he and his parents faced eight different defects, including hypoplastic aortic arch and small descending aorta. “They had to operate on the aorta when he was three-days-old,” Natalie said.

‘‘

His determination … and fight got us through our bad days - Natalie Whitford

’’

“In the first 10 months after we got him home he had 78 hospital admissions and appointments with cardiologists, GPs and maternal health specialists.” Fast-forward to today, Brayden is a chatty four-year-old who says he is “happy and excited” to restart kinder after missing most of his first year due to COVID-19. A fan of Paw Patrol and Blaze and the Monster Machines, he loves playing in the sand, camping and “anything to do with trucks”, according to mum. “He’s a very cheeky, fun-loving little boy that’s very gentle with a kind heart,” Natalie said. “His smile would light up the world. We’re incredibly proud of his progression; he’s a very strong resilient boy.” But his first two years were challenging for Brayden and his parents. “We had to lean on each other a lot and trust what the doctors were telling us,” Natalie said. At 18 months Brayden underwent another major surgery for his heart. “He took six months to recover and that left him with no muscle tone throughout his body – it still affects him today,” Natalie said. “When we eventually brought him home he would stand up and fall, which wasn’t good for his chest having just been cracked open. “We were blessed with an absolute superstar

warrior. His determination, strength and fight got us through our bad days.” Throughout, children’s charity HeartKids supported them with transport, learning about heart conditions to be an “advocate” for their son and introducing them to families in similar circumstances. “They soon become your strength because they have already walked the path that you’re just starting,” Natalie said. Brayden sees physio, occupational and speech therapists and, until recently, Natalie stopped working as a logistics scheduler to look

after him. “He doesn’t stop talking but it’s hard for some to understand him,” she said. “My employer has recently taken me back on a casual basis at night from home.” COVID-19 lockdown was challenging, with Brayden having no physio for six months. But his physiotherapist helped Natalie design an “obstacle course” to aid his physical development. Natalie admits she knew little about congenital heart disease (CHD) before Brayden

was born, or that 65,000 Australians live with it. HeartKids expects 3000 Australian babies to be born with CHD in 2021, as on average it impacts one in 100 births. Natalie encouraged Geelong locals to purchase a $5 heart beads bracelet to support families impacted by CHD ahead of HeartKids Sweetheart Day on February 14. “That’s why we’re telling our story,” she said.

wagon at high speed prior to the crash. The driver of the Ford, a 68-year-old Norlane man, suffered life-threatening upper body injuries in the crash. An air ambulance took him to Royal Melbourne Hospital in a critical condition. He died in hospital on October 22. The driver of the orange Holden, a 33-year-old man from Lovely Banks, suffered minor injuries and was taken by paramedics to

University Hospital Geelong. Detectives charged him with dangerous driving causing serious injury prior to the elderly man’s death. He was bailed to appear before Geelong Magistrates Court at a later date. The driver of the Holden wagon, a 35-year-old man from Lara, attended Waurn Ponds Police Station on October 16. He was charged with

dangerous driving causing serious injury. Last week, Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives pressed further charges against both men in relation to the fatal crash. They face charges including culpable driving, dangerous driving causing death, reckless conduct endangering life and street racing. Both men have been bailed to appear at Geelong Magistrates Court today.

Focus on swim safety Enrolments are booming at Geelong swim schools following last year’s COVID-19 hiatus, with parents facing waiting lists for some classes. Jump Swim Schools’ Lara and Newtown classes are at capacity with long waiting lists for both. “We’ve only just started getting to a backlog of inquiries,” Newtown manager Tina Ridgeway said. “More than ever, parents are keen to get the kids doing something after COVID. “After such a long break kids lose those fundamental safety skills, and that’s another reason why parents are keen to get them back.” Geelong Swimming Club is considering expanding its classes from six to seven days following “strong” enrolment, according to

president Glenn Benson. The club currently has 650 kids enrolled in its classes at Christian College, out of a maximum of 1200 and compared to 850 pre-COVID. The strong enrolment comes as Victoria records its worst six-month period for drownings in 16 years. Victoria had 40 drowning deaths between July 1, 2020, and January 13, 16 higher than the 10-year average between those dates and the worst result since 2004-05. Mr Benson said getting kids in the pool at a young age was vital. “When they’re in and just learning to enjoy the pool, if you can feed them the safety message, it just becomes imprinted in their minds,” he said.

Plans to save landmark ‘ignored’ By Luke Voogt

Plans to save a 155-year-old bluestone cottage, destined for demolition to make way for the Barwon Heads Road duplication, have fallen on deaf ears, according to campaigners. Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) plans to demolish the structure, stating it “may” reuse “some of the materials” to “honour the cottage’s history”. But Marshall Bluestone Cottage Community Group instead urged the authority to carefully dismantle the structure and reconstruct it on nearby public land. “When you’ve got a fabulous icon, it doesn’t makes sense to reduce it to rubble,” group president Virginia Johnson said.

“It isn’t enough that they might use some of the materials. They have not heard us at all.” The pioneering McAteer family built the bluestone cottage at the corner of Tannery and Barwon Heads roads in 1866. Ms Johnson said her group supported the duplication but opposed taking a “wrecking ball” to the cottage. “Very little remains of Marshall’s early-European settlement heritage, so our group of more than 50 locals believes this modest place is an important landmark that’s truly worth saving.” Three Geelong council heritage studies recognised the cottage as “significant” and stated it should be preserved where possible.

But according to MRPV, the cottage is not included on the Victorian Heritage Register or any Greater Geelong Planning Scheme heritage overlay. MRPV asserts that the state of the cottage’s roof, floor timbers and internal brickwork prevent a relocation that maintains its integrity. The authority is instead developing a draft strategy including “heritage interpretive works” within Marshall Reserve, in consultation with Geelong council. “We are working with local partners, including [Geelong council] to honour the cottage’s history within the community, which may include reusing some of its materials,” MRPV program director Tim Price said.

Youth council elects leader Whittington’s Elliot Nicholas and Newtown’s Minnie Dacres-Mannings will lead Geelong’s youth council after their peers elected them as junior mayor and deputy mayor recently. New junior mayor and LGBTIQA+ advocate Elliot looked forward to learning more about local government. “I am excited to be junior mayor because I have aspirations to work in positions of leadership, politics more specifically, and in the areas of mental health and the LGBTIQA+ community,” he said. Elliot believes that tackling misconceptions about the community’s connection to faith and education in schools to support the LGBTIQA+ community are important issues. Fellow Brownbill ward representative Minnie feels strongly about tackling youth suicide in greater Geelong. She is also passionate about addressing the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on young people and promoting access to sport as part of a healthy lifestyle. Mayor Stephanie Asher congratulated the new leadership pair on their recent appointments. “The junior mayor and junior deputy mayor’s election is an exciting moment as we see who will lead the youth council over the next year and advocate strongly for greater Geelong’s young people,” Cr Asher said. “Congratulations and I’m looking forward to hearing Elliot and Minnie’s ideas and recommendations to council.” The 12 junior members of the 2021 youth council were inducted last month to commence in their role as an official advisory committee and ‘youth voice’ to council. 12480405-CG06-21

FRIDAY FEATURE

Our survivors share their stories Breast cancer, melanomas and cancer in women have increased in Geelong over the past decade to 2019, despite overall cancer rates falling. In recognition of World Cancer Day yesterday, local survivors share their stories with Luke Voogt.

n average, 538 greater Geelong locals lose their lives to cancer each year, with 1559 people diagnosed annually. While that number has decreased over the past 10 years, breast cancer, melanomas and cancer among women in Geelong are on the rise. Breast cancer diagnoses per 100,000 people have increased from 81.6 in 2005-09 to 90.6 in 2015-19, according to data prepared for the Independent by Cancer Council Victoria. Norlane mother-of-three Kylie Blackney was one of 199 Geelong locals (total) diagnosed with breast cancer on average each year. Before her diagnosis in December 2017, a doctor thought a lump on her breast could be the result of blocked milk ducts, as she was pregnant at the time. “I had my lump for probably a good six months before they took it seriously enough to get an ultrasound,” she said. She urged local women to do self-checks and go for a check-up if they found anything suspicious, especially with recent COVID-19 lockdowns discouraging people from leaving home. “If you feel something different get in there and get it checked. Don’t put it off!” she said. She also encouraged them to “keep seeking answers” or further advice if they were not satisfied with their initial diagnosis. “Advocate for yourself and say, ‘I want an ultrasound or further testing’.” Kylie underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy following her diagnosis of stage-three invasive carcinoma a few months after giving birth to her third child. She has now been cancer-free for two years, and has raised thousands of dollars for Andrew Love Cancer Centre in gratitude. “I’ll do anything I can for Andrew Love,” she said. “My youngest was six-months-old and she had to come with me for every session. “The nurses were amazing. They would feed lollies to her and let her play Baby Shark over the monitor.” Melanomas are also increasing, from an average of 34.8 per 100,000 people in 2005-09 to 37.9 in 2015-19. East Belmont Cricket Club stalwart Tony Wakefield considers himself lucky not to be among the 156 people diagnosed with melanoma yearly. He was diagnosed with a more common but less aggressive form of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma. Like melanomas, these can still spread if not treated early. Tony’s cancer was detected early and subsequent treatment prevented it from becoming life-threatening. He urged locals to get any suspicious spots checked and to protect themselves while working or playing in the sun. “I’m well aware of the damage that the sun can do,” he said. “[The increase in melanomas] is worrying, given that people should now be aware of the dangers. “But it might be a result of something that happened 30 years ago. For me, skin cancer is a consequence of playing a lot of cricket and spending a lot of time at the beach, while unprotected.” Overall, the number of women diagnosed with cancer has increased from 287.2 diagnoses per 100,000 in 2005-09 to 298.6 in 2015-19. Highton grandmother Carolyn Rogers is unique among these, after being diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in 2007. “That is normally what children get, but I was 47,” she said. “I just had bruising come up on me in places and flu-like symptoms. “But I thought I was going to die when I was diagnosed. “I had only got married the month before and had a granddaughter in 2006. I thought, ‘I’m not going to live to see her grow up’. “I spent 89 nights in hospital over six months – I remember that well. That was getting the chemo, losing my hair and all that.

“Luckily, that first month of chemo put me into remission and I’ve been in remission since.” She urges cancer patients to seek help from friends, family and organisations such as Cancer Council. “When you’re diagnosed, you don’t really want to talk to anyone else,” she said. “You sort of want to stay in your bubble and get through it. Get support. “Cancer Council and Leukaemia Council were in contact and they gave me heaps of information and were there for transport.” After going into remission, she and her husband bought a campervan and went on a “bucket list” trip across Australia. She also repaid the kindness of Cancer Council by volunteering as a support worker over the phone for a couple years, helping others going through similar journeys. She worked as a travel agent until being made redundant last year due to COVID-19 and is looking forward to retiring permanently with her husband. Like other survivors, she urges locals to get checked if they suspect the worst. “If your gut feeling is that something is wrong, you’re better off being safe,” she said. Geelong has a higher rate of cancer diagnoses than the Victorian population. But as the city expands, so too do the treatments available to locals. Last year 44-year-old Mount Duneed mum Sherryn Vessey was the first person to receive

a cutting edge treatment in Geelong for a small brain tumour. Five weeks after giving birth to her second child, Sherryn began experiencing blurred vision, tiredness and headaches. “I went through what I thought were the logical solutions, getting eye drops and medicating with Panadol. “Then I developed big sacks under my eyes and a few days later the left side of my face dropped. “After receiving an MRI, I got a phone call the very next day saying that they had found a meningioma and I needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible. It was a massive whirlwind.” Specialists told her, because of the size of her brain tumour, she would receive reviews every six months to determine if treatment was required. In March 2020, she began having intense symptoms such as hormonal issues, double vision and headaches – a sign that her cancer had grown. As the tumour was still small, she was able to receive cutting-edge stereotactic radiation therapy treatment. The therapy delivers high doses of radiation to small areas with precise accuracy, compared to traditional radiation therapy to the whole brain. Previously the treatment was only available in inner Melbourne. But Icon Cancer Centre Geelong, based at Epworth in Waurn Ponds, now provides it.

Cancer Council Victoria stats for Geelong for 2015-2019 compared to the Victorian average.

“Icon is only a seven-minute drive from my house,” she said. “The thought of having to travel to Melbourne every day during the COVID-19 lockdown was really frightening, especially with a young family at home.” She has had 15 sessions so far with a couple more to go. “Being empowered and understanding this advanced treatment really eased my mind and my family’s,” Sherryn said. “My dad had radiation therapy treatment but he had lung cancer which was completely different; this was much more targeted. I can’t fault the care I received at all.”

I have read Allan Barron et al over many weeks giving their opinions on climate science. I find it perplexing that their views are divorced from reality. I have looked at their many claims and looked at the science, not some other expert opinion. This includes the role of CO2, sunspot activity, rates of heating and cooling, etc. The opinions have been found seriously wanting. An interesting issue is how industry, governments worldwide have accepted the science. Scientists must have such incredible power that they can wield such influence. Recent papers also show that the cost of producing power using power far exceeds that from solar and wind. Even the biggest oil companies in the world have privately long recognised the climate science. In Novemeber 12, 1982 Exxon’s M.B. Glaser, manager of the Environmental Affairs Program, in a memo to Exxon management on the CO2 greenhouse effect intended for the management staff to familiarise themselves with the subject, Glaser includes the April 1, 1982 “CO2 Greenhouse Effect: Technical Review” report. In his summary to management, he writes that the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere now stands at 340 ppm and that fossil fuel combustion along with clearing of virgin forests are the contributions to the trend. Glaser writes, “our best estimate is that doubling of the current concentration could increase average global temperature by about 1.3 degrees Celsius to 3.1 degrees Celsius.” Later, in 1988, an internal report by Shell projected similar effects but also found that CO2 could double even earlier, by 2030. Privately, these companies did not dispute the links between their products, global warming, and ecological calamity. On the contrary, their

Pokies ‘not family-friendly’ A local gaming (pokie) venue advertises itself … as a “family friendly venue”. Pull the other leg. It is anything but that – being directly responsible for impoverishing countless families in its vicinity. The vast bulk being recipients of income support or social welfare, in one form or another. It is interesting to note that almost $5 million was blown on pokies in Geelong in just a few days after their re-opening. Buy a lot of food, pay a few bills with that! Michael J Gamble Belmont

MY GEELONG Tell us about you… I’m 57 and I have three kids. My wife Tania and I have been married since 1987 and have lived in Torquay since 2013. My son Riley enjoys golf – that’s why we went down that way. He’s won the championship there and at Commonwealth Club in Melbourne. His pop, my wife’s father, was a golf fanatic, so he used to go out with him, and his mate is Ben Eccles. I was born and bred in Geelong – Baxter House – and I follow the Cats. I enjoy surfing and going to car shows. I’m into old muscle cars. I had a 1969 Corvette which I gave to my son. I said, “if you buy a house and garage that car will be yours.” But he still lets me drive it. I had an SVR Jag which I sold recently and I’ve got a C8 Corvette coming this year. That’s my weakness: cars. My dad’s was horses.

check there’s no ‘for sale’ sign in the window. What do you like about the job? It’s always different and you meet people. Making small goods and meat products is like being a chef, it’s not just cutting a piece of meat. The hardest part is hitting that sweet spot that the customer expects – not too salty, dry, fatty or lean – and getting the spices right.

When you get it perfect and the customer loves it, you get a real satisfaction from it – it’s like hitting a golf ball perfectly. If it was easy everyone would be doing it. What do you like to do locally? I love having a meal at local restaurants and wineries, going for a drive down the Great Ocean Road or surfing on the weekend.

How are you coping with COVID-19? It didn’t really affect me but I’ve got a lot of friends with restaurants. They struggled, which was hard to watch. We were actually very busy because more people were cooking at home – I had to employ three more people. I still wish COVID didn’t happen, because it was bad for a lot of people, but I’m thankful to work in an industry that wasn’t really affected.

ENTERTAINMENT

Wilson, Hooper to probe audience By Luke Voogt Kiwi funny woman Cal Wilson loves probing her audience for a good laugh. “Everyone has a story,” she explained. “I had a friend that I’d known for 20 years and they told me recently they were nearly killed by a coconut. “I was like, ‘how did you never tell me this?’ That would be my introduction: ‘hello, my name’s Cal, I was nearly killed by a coconut’. “I tend to chat to the audience. I ask questions like what’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve done or who has a weird middle name. “I just like the feeling of a room laughing and it doesn’t matter who makes it happen.” While the friendly stand-up usually gets along well with her audience, she admits once being heckled by a guide dog puppy-in-training. “It just wouldn’t stop barking!” she said. “I don’t know if it was telling me there weren’t enough cat jokes or what. You can’t be mean to a guide dog puppy! It’s not going to understand English for a start.” Wilson will head to Geelong next Wednesday for her first show there in “ages”. “I think the last time we came to Geelong was for a basketball game for my son,” she said. “My ability to tell time has vanished – everything pre-pandemic feels like it happened 50 years ago. I can’t remember anything bad about my last Geelong show. You tend to remember the hecklers and stuff.” Like in her recent return to stand-up at The Espy in St Kilda late last year. “Fifty-nine people were all really excited to hear comedy live again and there was one person who just wanted to heckle,” she said. “I was impressed that they got straight into it.” Heckler or not, Wilson was thrilled to return to the stage. “Nothing beats a room full of people laughing,” she said. She remembered her apprehension ahead of her first Zoom show months earlier during COVID-19; a corporate gig for 83 lawyers across Asia. “I didn’t know if their lockdown experience had been the same as mine,” she said. “I didn’t know if Shanghai had gotten into

banana bread. “They were all on mute, I could only see one screen and they were all wearing masks, so I had no way to tell if they were enjoying it. “That felt like a comedian’s nightmare – the only way it could have been worse would be if I’d forgotten to put a top on. “They got me back for another one – so they must have liked it.” Wilson has spent most of the pandemic doing gigs, some “in the UK”, with fairy lights in her spare room. “The three-second commute is amazing,” she said. “Everyone likes to see in everyone’s houses, that’s my favourite bit, checking out their bookshelves or if their cat’s wandered in.” Next Wednesday at the big top in Rippleside Park Wilson teams up with one of her best friends on and off stage, Claire Hooper. She and Hooper shared more than the mic during their first tour together. “She got gastro and got better, then I got it,” Wilson said. “It was really exhilarating getting through the show and nothing getting out that wasn’t supposed to. “It was one of those ordeals that you come out of stronger on the other side.” She is thrilled to perform in Geelong after spending much of 2020 unable to travel. “You guys are exotic now,” she said.

Quirky Perl-er of a show under the big top roof Jude Perl has been confusing audiences for years. “It’s probably just because I’m very bad at marketing,” she told the Independent. Perl folds up for easy storage under the bed and with misplaced musical talents and low-fat air-frying technology, she is a household name in up to seven homes, according to her online bio. The quirky singer-songwriter, described by some as a blend of Tim Minchin and Katy Perry, is on her way to Geelong with new show I Have a Face next Thursday. “I love coming to Geelong – I’m super excited,” she said. “This show was booked in a year ago.” Despite the pandemic postponing that show and halting live performance, she has enjoyed her online gigs “trying to write musicals” and taking suggestions from her fans. She also just finished shooting a pilot for an original series, which includes new music video Hungry and Horny. “[The series] is about a jingle writer that wants to be a popstar and it’s got lots of crazy music videos,” she said. A keen observer and “over-thinker”, Perl

loves poking fun at society, pop culture and social media virtue signallers in her “stream of consciousness” songs. In her track Good Person she sings: “I’m a good person. I do good person things. Not with my actions but with my thoughts and my beliefs.” Another track, Hamish, follows a schoolgirl crush turned stalking with a fun ‘80s disco

beat. “Even when I don’t mean to, I think I write like someone who has too many thoughts,” she said. Born in Texas, Perl grew up in Melbourne learning piano, but only really got into playing after discovering jazz and names such as Marvin Gaye, Lauryn Hill and Stevie Wonder in high school. She also credits a teacher who “kind of forced me into music in that caring-aggressive Jewish way”. She played in cover gigs and different bands, until a friend entered the Raw Comedy competition in 2014. “I got playfully competitive and thought, ‘if he can enter raw comedy I can’,” she said. “It was like scratching an itch that I didn’t know I had.” She also learned about herself performing musical comedy. “Depression and anxiety are my mental health issue of choice,” she explained. “Anxiety snuck up on me in my 20s. I realised not everybody has this barrage of thoughts. “It’s a fun way to find out you have anxiety; in front of an audience of hundreds. That’s the

fun thing about comedy; it teaches you things about yourself. “The draw to comedy for me is it feels like the audience is there to listen a bit more to what you’re saying rather than just the music. “You can talk about darker things and, if you do that with a comical aspect, people get on board. There’s a bit more of an allowance to be honest about yourself.” Perl was “extremely happy” to return to live performing late last year and looked forward to playing at the big top in Rippleside Park. “I hope people enjoy the mental health bangers in the show,” she said. Although she warned her promotional photo of a recently-deceased stuffed cat would have little to do with the show. “The photographer hired it for the shoot,” she said. “I didn’t know this until the day but it was a family cat. “If you like taxidermy cats you might be disappointed because the cat doesn’t appear. But I do talk about a cat.” Details: geelongartscentre.org.au/whats-on Luke Voogt 13 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 5 February, 2021

MAN OF STEEL 7MATE, 8.30pm

This re-imagining of the Superman tale, directed by Zack Snyder (Watchmen), produced by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight) and starring British hunk Henry Cavill (The Tudors, right), has blockbuster written all over it, but delivers an unexpectedly grittier tale than its predecessors. Cavill is brooding as the superhero who dons steel (rather than tights), ditching the comical elements of the classic to embody a serious, lonely Clark Kent who, upon discovering his extraterrestrial origins, unloads mass destruction in his fight to save Earth. Starring Amy Adams as Lois Lane and Russell Crowe as Kent’s biological father, the story has a different feel, which might displease comic-book tragics, but this glossy take should hold viewers captive with its abundance of rip-roarin’ action.

The clever casting crew behind this crime-drama did an excellent job of nabbing British heartthrob Ioan Gruffudd to play the lead. Sometimes you just need a wildcard to be the point of difference among all the other crime-dramas out there (and let’s face it, his smile doesn’t hurt, either). Not that you’ll see much smiling in this season three return as Dr Daniel Harrow (Gruffudd) investigates the death of a young man who claimed to be his son. The news shocks those close to him, but Harrow is pushed to reveal a chapter of his past. But just like in many of the cases his team investigate, it’s best not to take things at face value. A welcome return to our screens.

Ioan Gruffudd stars in Harrow.

Creating social connections Corio’s Trish Lagerwey says joining genU’s respite services was one of the best decisions she made after moving to Geelong. Trish moved from Melbourne 15 years ago to live closer to family, and she soon realised she wanted to create new social connections. “Most of my friends were in Melbourne, and it got to a stage where it was a bit hard to drive all the way to Melbourne on my own,” Trish said. “I got a referral and I must admit it took me a couple of weeks to get up the courage to ring, but once I rang and got involved I was so happy. “Everyone was so friendly and I made so many friends. I just love it now and I think when you come to places like this you just thrive.” Trish uses day respite services twice a week, where she catches up with friends, enjoys delicious food and takes part in arts and crafts. “The staff are great, everything is taken care of and the meals are great. We get a lovely lunch here and a lot of people on their own at home may not be eating that well,” Trish said. “All you need to do is make that first phone call, then when you walk in the door that first time you’ll realise how good it is, I really do love it here.” genU offers overnight and centre-based day respite services in Newtown and Ocean Grove. Both locations offer social activities, support to promote independent living and large outdoor gardens. Activities can be tailored to suit individual interests, all sites employ COVIDSafe practices and additional security measures are in place for peace of mind. If you are interested in learning more about genU’s respite services, please call 1300 558 368 or email contact@genu.org.au.

Find the right ‘ride’ As an essential business, Scooters & Mobility Geelong always kept its doors open during lockdowns, while closely adhering to COVID guidelines to keep customers and staff safe. Director Mark Dillon says consideration for customers’ health and convenience has meant a stepped-up service. “We can take orders over the phone, and arrange for ‘call and collect’, or a sanitised home delivery, which underscores our top priority of customer health and safety,” Mark says. “In the shop, we sanitise all our products every day, as well as after any human contact, demonstration and trial.” That said, the store is home to the top brands that Mark notes are all at the best prices in the region. “We have the Feather Chair, the world’s lightest wheelchair! Weighing in at 8.6 kilograms, it takes very little effort to lift in and out of your car and makes it easy to push yourself around. “As usual, we have the Luggie range in store. Luggie truly is the world’s best portable scooter. “We always have at least 20 scooters and powerchairs in stock, so people will have no problem finding the right ‘ride’ for them. “The team can help guide their choice and, if a purchase is ever in need of repairs, we have our clever technician Martin Coote to keep everything in good running order.” Brands on board include Merits, Invacare, Pride Mobility, Elite Scooters, Shoprider and Bruno – all at the best prices in the region. These brands are all Therapeutic Goods Association (TGA) tested, which means that all items have met the strict standard as required by the TGA and the aligned worldwide bodies such as the FDA. Also in stock is an extensive range of tyres,

Zooming into the future You’re never too old to learn how to Zoom – just ask Ruth Morris, who at the age of 85 has mastered the computer tablet and is Zooming with the best of them. Ruth, a retired typist and stenographer, loves chatting to her two children and five grandchildren on Zoom, as well as a cousin she last saw 20 years ago. One of her grandsons is in Sydney, and the other day he phoned Ruth on Zoom from the laundromat. Ruth didn’t actually see whether he washed his whites separately but says he’s pretty smart so she’s sure he would have! And recently Ruth Zoomed with her daughter who was watering the garden, and was taken on an impromptu tour of the flowerbeds. Ruth hired the tablet complete with headset from Uniting AgeWell towards the end of last year and learned how to use it. It was part of the Uniting AgeWell roll-out of computer tablets for clients with home care packages as well as for residents across aged care facilities in both Victoria and Tasmania. Ruth quickly got the hang of it, and now loves it so much she’s going to buy her own. “It means a lot to me,” she says. “It’s wonderful to be able to see and talk to the family.” Ruth has a home care package with Uniting AgeWell and gets social support to attend medical and other appointments as well as help with house work, enabling her to spend time doing things she enjoys, like knitting. There are many people in the Geelong area, like Ruth, who are Zooming away with friends and family with nearly a dozen buying computer tablets through their Uniting AgeWell home care package over the past few months says Uniting AgeWell’s Barwon Client Advisor Kaye Hollingworth. Kaye says support is in place to teach those clients who are not computer savvy, how to

use the tablets. They’re enjoying learning new skills and being able to connect more fully with their loved ones. “Talking on the phone is one thing, but through Zoom you can watch the latest baby in the family toddling across the carpet,” Kaye explains. “It is far more interactive. And it’s fun.” Computer tablets are also being lent to those who don’t have them, and it’s a good introduction to digital technology in general before buying. Kaye also says there has been a significant increase in the number of people taking up their home care packages through Uniting AgeWell, which she attributes to word-of-mouth with many clients adjusting their packages for additional services, like getting the shopping done, during last year’s COVID-19 restrictions. Many have used their packages to buy equipment to help improve their daily lives. A client who uses a wheelchair was sleeping in a makeshift bed in the hallway downstairs because she was loathe to move out of her family home. So, she had a lift installed, and is now back in her upstairs bedroom. Meanwhile many carers looking after older loved ones at home report being exhausted after a long and stressful 2020, and to help out Uniting AgeWell is also offering a special respite care package of three weeks for the price of two at most of its aged care residences in Victoria including Kalkee Nangatta and Murray Communities in Belmont. All the sites offer 24-hour specialist clinical and dementia care, as well as a vibrant lifestyle program within a welcoming community. For inquiries about Uniting AgeWell’s home care packages, respite care and residential services, phone 1300 783 435.

Cats a chance to jump up ladder By Luke Voogt Opener Eamonn Vines led Geelong to a massive 157-run victory with an unbeaten century against Hawthorn-Kingston on Saturday. The Hawks sent the Cats in with Hayden Butterworth (14) edging Harvinder Singh to slip with the score at 20 and Jade Christensen bowling Josh McDonald (6) to put the Cats in trouble at 2/30. But Vines and Thomas Jackson fought back putting on 161 for the third wicket before the latter was caught on the onside for 85. Geelong lost another two wickets but Vines remained at the crease for 115 not out off 135 balls, helping the Cats cruise to 5/259 with his 13th Premier Cricket century. The ton was the skipper’s first for the season despite several strong starts, and he is averaging 72.9 for the summer. The Hawks started their run chase disastrously losing their first four wickets for just 24. Paceman Josh Garner struck first snaring Romain Grenville on 6 while Matthew Vorbach was run out for 3.

his bat for an easy catch, while Abhishek Jain fell in another run-out following a mix up. Butterworth picked up Nivin Sathyajith and Joel Lewis, while leg spinner Tom O’Connell

took the next three. Opener Thaveesh Attanayake finally fell to the returning Brodie Couch, caught behind on 51 after providing the only resistance with the bat for the Hawks, who managed just 102 all out. Couch returns to the Cats after several weeks on the Melbourne Renegades’ squad, which failed to make the Big Bash League finals. His inclusion provides a welcome boost to Geelong’s attack as the Cat’s take on third-placed Melbourne tomorrow. Geelong took advantage of its favourable draw in January, beating three bottom-eight sides despite losing to Footscray. The Cats will jump up the ladder if they beat the Demons, last year’s premiers, with the teams from third to eighth equal on games (6-3) and separated only by net run rate. But they will face much stiffer opposition from the Demons at Albert Ground than in their past three games. South African leg spinner Kyle Williamson has been on fire with the ball, while opening batsman Blake Thomson is averaging 81.5 and coming off 95 not out in Melbourne’s 125-run thrashing of Footscray.

In a low-scoring round of the Geelong Cricket Association firsts, Leopold’s Adam Bliss and Benjamin Horne and Grovedale’s Gareth Yelland were the pick of bowlers. Bliss 4/13 and Horne 4/26 helped bowl Lara out for 103 and clinch Leopold a 24-run victory. Yelland’s 4/8 helped Grovedale bowl out Newtown-Chilwell for 99 and pick up a four-wicket victory. Highton and North Geelong also won, with St Joseph’s and South Barwon abandoning their game due to rain damage from the day before. North Geelong leads the ladder, followed by Lara, South Barwon and Newtown-Chilwell. In the seconds, Grovedale lost its first game of the season with Newtown-Chilwell chasing down 180 runs for a four-wicket victory with just five balls to spare. Murgheboluc and North Geelong also won with the other two matches abandoned. Grovedale still leads the ladder after round 12 followed by East Belmont, North Geelong and Murgheboluc. In the thirds, Leopold, North Geelong, Grovedale, South Barwon and Highton picked up victories. North Geelong sits atop the ladder, followed by South Barwon.

Lara and Jan Juc surfers win at Victorian Masters Jan Juc’s Adam Leslie and Lara’s Martin Rennhackkamp have won at the Victorian Masters Titles, with surfers from the other side of the bay dominating most age divisions. Leslie won the over 45 men’s division with a 15.54 total from his two best rides, despite Arthur McKenzie scoring a nine-point wave in the final at Phillip Island on Sunday. 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 5 February, 2021

Rennhackkamp was victorious in the low-scoring final of the over 55s with a heat total of 7.30, winning by .27 of a point. Torquay’s Joel Steven finished third in the over 35s behind victor Joel Reid and runner-up Adrian Maier. Phillip Island also hosted the Victorian final of the Australian Boardriders Battle on Saturday, with the home club claiming the

victory. Phillip Island Boardriders finished with 32.97 total on their home break in a final featuring Torquay, Jan Juc and Peninsula Surfriders. Peninsula finished second on 30.53 points, just .23 ahead of third-placed Torquay on 30.30 to claim the second spot in the national final. Jan Juc finished in fourth place on 25.96

points. After multiple postponements in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions, the event went ahead on Saturday at Cape Woolamai as the final qualifier in the national series. With a wind-swept swell increasing throughout the day, conditions were challenging for all competitors.

SPORT Tennis back in Grovedale grudge matches Tennis Geelong competition returned to Grovedale on Saturday in tight grudge matches. The highlight was section 1, with the mixed Gold and Black teams having a tough battle, with Black winning all three sets by two games. Black’s ‘number two’ man Matt Squire took home the bragging rights over Jason Schoenmaekers by winning all three of his sets. The familiarity of the players with each others’ individual styles was evident throughout the day with the quality and intensity of the points, and the length of time on court. Zoe Duff and Hayden Fell (Gold) and Mimi Armstrong and Brent May (Black) kicked off the day with a very tight encounter. The match was game-for-game to five-all. Gold managed to break serve for the set however Black, to their credit, broke back to push the set to a tie-break, before Gold proved too good, taking the breaker comfortably.

On the other court, Squire and Lisa Sherwell (Black) had a slow start dropping serve to go down 1-3 before rallying and getting the upper hand to go ahead 5-3. Gold managed to hold serve to stay in the match, but Black then held serve to take the set

6-4. The Duff sisters (Gold) showed what a good combination they are, taking an early lead in the ladies set before winning 6-3. The men had a tight first four games before Black broke through and held the lead to take it 6-4. At two sets all, and all other matches at Grovedale already complete, the final two mixed sets got under way. Both matches were very tight with Lily Duff and Fell (Gold) going game-for-game with Sherwell and May (Black) to five-all before the Gold pair broke to take the set 7-5. Squire continued his dominance in the final set taking an early break with Armstrong. The set was not smooth sailing for Black however, with several breaks of serve before they took the set 6-3, ensuring the overall win for Black.

Cats face Lions for pride Geelong Cats’ AFLW side will fight for pride in more ways than one when they take on the Lions at Hickey Park in Brisbane. The Cats will be keen to rebound after copping a thrashing from North Melbourne at Kardinia Park last Sunday. North Melbourne ruck Emma King tore the game open in the first quarter kicking three goals. Geelong’s Maddie Boyd left the ground after copping a knee to her elbow early in the match and by the final break Geelong was still scoreless and trailing the ’Roos on 8.4 (52) Perhaps the only positives for Geelong were Olivia Purcell notching up 17 disposals and seven tackles and Aasta O’Connor kicking her first goal as a Cat with two minutes left in the game. Less positively for O’Connor, she was charged with rough conduct over a dangerous tackle in the second quarter. But she will not miss the Cats’ next match for the “low impact” incident.

The Cats had almost as many inside-50s as North (25 to 27), but failed to find targets taking just six marks up forward compared to the Kangaroo’s 12. In a press conference following the match, Geelong AFLW coach Paul Hood said the Cats would have to improve their ball use, marking and pressure against Brisbane. Hood also stressed the importance of locking the ball in against the Lions, who scored a 29-point win over Richmond last Sunday. “We need to be more stable behind the ball when [it] goes inside our forward 50 and we need to put more pressure on the opposition’s rebounding defenders so that we get a chance to catch up to the footy.” The match is part of the AFLW’s pride round, which celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community’s contribution to the competition. This week ahead of the game, Rocky Cranston tried on Geelong’s pride guernsey, which she, Meg McDonald, Sophie Van De

Heuvel, Georgie Rankin and the club’s pride supporter group helped design. “I love it!” she said. The guernsey includes the pride flag, the transgender flag and the word ‘yes’ in support of marriage equality. Cranston stressed the importance of the club showing support for LGBTQIA+ fans and making them feel welcome. Meanwhile, ruckman Darcy Fort has suffered a setback in his quest to break into the senior men’s side, reinjuring his knee. The 28-year-old initially injured his posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last October before injuring it again at training recently. Geelong has locked in its sole pre-season Community Series match against Essendon at GMHBA Stadium on March 6 from 7.10pm. ■ Due

to the changing COVID-19 situation in Victoria the AFL late yesterday changed the draw to Geelong v Collingwood in Melbourne.

Fishing tide change key for whiting catch ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos The fishing at the moment seems to be as good as we have had it for a long time and with anglers keen to get out and make the most of it, there are heaps of reports coming through. Inside Corio Bay, in particular Stingaree Bay, has had some solid whiting fishing on offer right through the spoil ground and around the clocktower mark. Fishing the tide change with baits such as pipis and squid has been producing some good numbers of fish at an impressive size. The whiting fishing has been consistent right along the peninsula all the way to Queenscliff and that seems to be where the better fishing is. Pinkie snapper have been showing up in good numbers off Clifton Springs snatching up angler’s baits and plastics anywhere between 4-8 metres. With fish holding in good numbers and ranging in size from 30-50 cm they are great fun and perfect if you’re getting into soft plastics. Calamari are still holding in good numbers along the Curlewis Bank in about 3.5 metres of water, the squid seem to be at a decent average size and quite a few numbers getting around. Offshore Barwon Heads hasn’t changed too much as all the hype has again been around the tuna and kingfish. The tuna are holding right along the coast however they do seem to be holding mainly straight off the bluff in about 40 metres. Trolling small skirts and diving lures have been working well as the fish have been holding a little deeper. They are occasionally coming to the top and when they do, casting stick baits at the school is a very effective way to target them. Although tricky to tempt, with persistence the bite should come. Kingfish are still chewing hard along the coast. From Cape Schanck all the way through to Portland has been producing some cracking fish with our local waters fishing really well too. Fish have been holding in good numbers anywhere from 20 – 50 metres of water with 25 seeming to be the magic depth. Dropping jigs on their heads or casting surface lures at fish on top should produce the goods. Wurdi Buloc Reservoir has been giving up some good fishing as of late with brown and rainbow trout reports coming through. Casting spoons and shallow diving from the rocks has been super effective with fish getting up to 1.8 kilograms in weight, along with some redfin bi-catch.
