Fungi in focus

(Rebecca Hosking) 228441_02

Jacinta Leitch wants locals to follow her on an adventure Deep in the Forest in her upcoming exhibition unveiling the beauty and colour of tiny mushrooms. The Newtown artist has spent “many a day” during the pandemic hunting and photographing 300 species, some the size of a pinhead, from the Otways to the You Yangs. “They amaze me – they’re so beautiful when you start looking at them,” she said. “The varieties and shapes, their form and colour.” Where many might see only a small blue stain on a log, Jacinta zooms in to reveal beautiful fungi hiding in plain sight. “I got some canvasses and just decided to amuse myself by painting 100 of them,” she said. With a council COVID-19 arts, culture and heritage recovery grant, she will hold a month-long exhibition, Deep in the Forest, at Shearers Arms Gallery, Newtown, beginning March 2. “I’m hoping to inspire people to go for a walk and lose themselves in the forest.” For details search ‘Jacinta Leitch’ on Facebook.

Vaccine rollout to begin By Luke Voogt The vaccination of Geelong health workers and aged care residents will begin next week with a vaccine hub to open at University Hospital Geelong. Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt yesterday announced that hubs administering the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine would open at Geelong’s public hospital, along with three other hospitals in Melbourne. The hubs will be part of phase 1A of the Commonwealth’s rollout of the vaccine beginning next Monday, Mr Hunt announced. Under phase 1A, aged care and disability

care staff and health workers most at risk of contracting COVID-19, such as intensive care and emergency department staff, will receive the jab. Aged care and disabled residents at public facilities and homes in Drysdale, Lara, Ocean Grove, Point Lonsdale and Portarlington will also begin receiving the jab, along with quarantine and border workers. Earlier this week Barwon Health issued paperwork to staff to sign their consent to be vaccinated in preparation for the rollout. In a recent online statement Barwon Health said its immunisation program would commence as soon as it received supplies of

the Pfizer vaccine. “Barwon Health will also provide support and co-ordination to the entire Barwon South West region, including the private healthcare systems.” The first 142,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine arrived in Australia earlier this week. In later phases of the Commonwealth rollout, aimed at inoculating the rest of Australia, many will receive the less effective but easier-to-store Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine, which the Therapeutic Goods Administration recently approved. Barwon Health stated that the overall vaccination program would depend on GPs and pharmacists, once the AstraZeneca vaccine

becomes available. “The program will take at least six months to achieve the overall levels of immunisation the government is targeting,” the health provider said. “Thanks to the excellent public health response that has controlled the spread locally, we can afford to take the time to do this in a safe and controlled way.” The Independent understands that Barwon Health is still finalising the logistics and details of how it will distribute the vaccine during phase 1A. Barwon Health is expected to provide further details today.

Avalon quarantine plan ‘safe’ By Luke Voogt Avalon Airport will work with authorities to make a proposed quarantine facility “the best it can be”, its chief executive Justin Giddings has vowed. Mr Giddings moved to reassure Geelong residents the facility would be safe following revelations this week that state government was considering Avalon as a potential site, after multiple failures in Victoria’s hotel quarantine program. The Avalon site for returned travellers

would be based on the Northern Territory’s “highly-successful” quarantine facility at Howard Springs, Mr Giddings said. “They’ve had no breaches at all,” he said. “I have spoken to one of the managers who run it … it just gave me a little more confidence that this is a great system. “They’ve got a green zone – mainly for domestic arrivals – and a red zone, which is higher risk. “Depending on which zone you’re in, you’ve got different levels of freedom. “The red zone, I understand, you’re in there

with either your family or by yourself and you can’t interact with anyone else.” Mr Giddings described Avalon as an excellent location for the facility. “We’ve got a lot of space and we’re well away from any residential areas,” he said. He said the facility’s staff would interact with quarantined travellers outdoors, rather than in hotel hallways, decreasing their risk of contracting COVID-19. “Getting some sunlight” would improve the mental health of those quarantined, he added. The state government is currently considering

quarantine sites at both Melbourne and Avalon airports, with Mr Giddings expecting a decision in coming weeks. An outdoor site would at least partially replace the state government’s hotel quarantine program – breaches from which led to Victoria’s second wave and the recent snap lockdown. Unlike Melbourne Airport, Avalon has separate international and domestic terminals. The airport could also redirect passengers from future COVID-19 hotspots in Australia through its international terminal to keep them separate, Mr Giddings said.

Chorus of voices vow to sing again After 77 years of song and comradery the voices of Geelong’s International Harvester Male Chorus fell silent for the first time in 2020. The chorus had only just returned to singing a fortnight ago before Victoria’s recent snap lockdown again forced them to cancel rehearsals this Monday. “It’s sad but we’re all part of this Victorian community and we’re in no better or worse place than anyone else really,” chorus secretary Tim Gibson said. The chorus began in 1943, as the men of International Harvester’s North Shore agricultural machinery factory made mines,

vehicles and aircraft for WWII. The men sang as they worked and 25 employees in the tool room started their own chorus. Apart from the odd few weeks waiting for a new conductor, the chorus has never stopped performing in three quarters of a century. With the snap lockdown easing this week, Mr Gibson hopes to again return to rehearsals with masks and social distancing. “It makes singing a little bit more difficult,” the 73-year-old said. “But we’re not going let the pandemic defeat us. “Choirs all over the world are finding new ways of keeping together with all the

restrictions that are upon us. It’s just a way to be together and share friendship.” The chorus also plans to hold a small private memorial concert next month for late member Bill Kirtley, who died recently aged 95 after more than 50 years in the group. Although the group’s regular performances at aged care homes and other shows might still be several months off, Mr Gibson admitted. “We are always looking for new members – men who love singing. No auditions!” he said. Details: 0412 191 971

Australian Facebook users have been blocked from accessing news sites via their social media feeds in a dramatic escalation of the tech giant’s stand-off with the federal government over proposed new laws. Facebook users have had local and international news links removed from their feeds and all posts have been wiped from the Facebook pages of Australian news organisations including the Independent. The Independent publisher Paul Thomas said the moves are “political posturing” and prove the ACCCs contention that Facebook is a monopoly with undue market power. Mr Thomas said Australian news organisations producing balanced, factual news provides Facebook with relevance. “Facebook has been riding off the back of news businesses for too long,” he said. “Facebook’s claim that the value exchange between Facebook and publishers runs in favour of the publishers is a complete fabrication of the truth.” Mr Thomas said Facebook pays almost no local taxes, is not subject to the same defamation laws as news outlets and does not pay copyright fees. “Not to mention the fact that they don’t employ anyone to cultivate content as news organisations do, and have been happy to piggy-back on ours for years for free.” The company has blamed the move on proposed Australian laws forcing tech companies like Facebook and Google to pay for news content.

An ATM stranded off Point Henry caught the attention of Newcomb maintenance manager Dylan Nickelson on Tuesday. “I was taking the dog for its afternoon stroll,” the 41-year-old told the Independent on Wednesday. “Walking along the beach … I spotted something in the shallows at a distance. “At first I thought it was a dumped couch. “When Minnie – my dog – and I were about 50 metres away, I realised it was an ATM. I had a laugh to myself wondering how it got there. “Did it float in to shore or was it dumped? However it got there, I had to capture a photo to share with my friends.” Mr Nickelson is a regular in the area, especially while working at home during

COVID-19. “It’s a great place to walk the dog and get out on the water in my kayak for the short paddle across to Eastern Beach,” he said. “The old saltworks and Alcoa site give it a gritty industrial charm. As do the occasional burnt out car or wayward ATM that you find there.” Geelong Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Guthrie confirmed police were investigating the mystery behind the ATM, which he said was taken from a venue in central Geelong. “We’re scrolling through some CCTV footage, we know where it’s from and the business is assisting us.” Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000

Police are hunting vandals who damaged a $15,000 sculpture owned by The Royal Children’s Hospital. Investigators said the ‘UooUoo’ sculpture just off Little Malop Street was vandalised about 4am yesterday. Police released CCTV images of two males in the vicinity of the sculpture at the time of the damage. The sculptures depict UooUoos, an imaginary creature that is a cross between a dugong and a wombat. The Royal Children’s Hospital commissioned about 100 of the sculptures to be placed around Geelong and Melbourne as part of its fundraising 150th anniversary arts trail. Yesterday morning is not the first time vandals have targeted the sculpture and others like it. Last month, at least 10 of the sculptures in Geelong, including the one at Little Malop Street, were removed for repairs. It is not known if yesterday’s vandalism was related to the earlier incidents. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Luke Voogt

Conduct code ‘undemocratic’ By Luke Voogt A trio of councillors labelled Surf Coast Shire’s new code of conduct “undemocratic” before its adoption on Tuesday night. Councillors Heather Wellington and Paul Barker voted against the document, with the state government’s deadline for adopting a code of conduct looming next Wednesday. Lorne councillor Gary Allen criticised the document, but joined the majority of councillors in adopting it, on the basis council re-examine the code at a later date. Cr Allen told council some requirements of the code “border on being undemocratic”.

“They’re just so wide-sweeping and I think it will work out to be an unenforceable document.” The code requires councillors to notify council and the shire’s chief executive before making “any negative comment” publicly. “Well, what’s debate about?” Cr Allen said. “If I think of a point now that’s negative, I’ll raise it in debate. I’m not notifying anyone that I’m going to raise that comment.” Cr Wellington ridiculed the 24-page code’s “sermon” of almost 100 examples of desired and undesired behaviours as “highly-subjective” and “largely impossible to enforce”. “At the core of its problems is its apparent

attempt to detail every type of human behaviour imaginable,” she said. Cr Wellington described spending $10,000 for an external consultant to draft the code as “a waste of public money” and attempted to move several amendments. But mayor Libby Stapleton said the proposed amendments “significantly altered” the motion before council. She ruled that Cr Wellington could only introduce them as an alternative motion if council voted down the initial code. Along with stifling media scrutiny, the code is “contradictory” and “repetitious”, according to Cr Wellington. The document reflected “very little of her written input” from a day-long

Lockdown lifted, restrictions stay

Bells hosts charity surf A charity surf event will replace the cancelled Bells Beach Rip Curl Pro over the Easter long weekend, Surfing Victoria has announced. Instead of the Rip Curl Pro, which normally draws surfers from across the globe each year, teams of seven will take to the waves at Bells for the Bolt Blowers Invitational on Easter Saturday. The event will raise money for local Indigenous mentoring group Strong Brother, Strong Sister and mental health charity One In Five. “With the cancellation of the 2021 Rip Curl Pro, this was the perfect opportunity to raise the profile of this event and the issues around mental health we are all facing after a tough 12 months,” Surfing Victoria chief executive Adam Robertson said. The Bolt Blowers grew from a group of friends initially holding a small surf event in 2006 to raise funds and awareness for mental health. “We are in awe of the work that the Bolt Blowers community have done over the past 16 years,” Mr Robertson said. The event features a team format with seven surfers competing in succession with their total scores tallied to find the winner. All surfers must ride either an original single or twin-fin board that predates 1983. The Bolt Blowers committee stated it was “humbled” to be invited to Bells over Easter and thanked Surfing Victoria and Surf Coast Shire for a chance to “shine a light for mental health”. Surf Coast Shire mayor Libby Stapleton welcomed the event to Bells Beach. “Through disappointment comes opportunity,” she said. “The cancellation of the Rip Curl Pro has created the window for something new, and I am delighted the Bolt Blowers Invitational is ready and willing to take on the famous Bells Easter swell this year.” Last Friday, the state government announced a three-year deal with World Surf League to bring the Rip Curl Pro back to Bells beginning next year. World Surf League this week confirmed

council workshop, she added. Cr Barker said following all the code’s desired behaviours would be “impossible”, resulting in the mayor’s time being wasted on “trivial matters”. But deputy mayor Liz Patterson said the code aligned the Victorian local government website’s “best-practice examples” and would help council be “cohesive, respectful and effective”. “Some may say that that is not good enough. “Really? Really? We should waste ratepayer money trying to refine our code of conduct to something that is better than best-practice? “Surely we can spend ratepayer money and our time more wisely.”

the Australian leg of its championship tour, effectively ruling out an alternative championship event at Bells Beach this winter. Funds from the Bolt Blowers Invitational donated to Strong Brother, Strong Sister will support Aboriginal mentors teaching Indigenous youth water safety and surfing, and helping improve their health and wellbeing. One In Five supports leading Australian

mental illness experts at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health and Monash Health. Entries for the Bolt Blowers Invitation open on March 9 for a maximum of 24 teams. Teams which have previously supported the event will get first priority.

Victoria’s snap lockdown eased at midnight on Wednesday following an announcement by Premier Daniel Andrews. Victorians can now have five visitors in their homes per day and public gatherings are limited to 20 people. Hospital and aged care home visits are limited to one household per day, with some exceptions. “For now, it’s important we reduce the risk in some of our most vulnerable settings,” Mr Andrews said on Wednesday morning. “By sticking to the rules and being conscious of who we see and how often we see them, we’ll help keep our friends and families safe.” Masks are mandatory in public indoor spaces, as well as outdoors where social distancing is not possible. Schools, restaurants, retail, community facilities, entertainment venues and other public places have reopened, with some additional limits on crowd sizes. Public and private offices can return to 50 per cent capacity. The state government abolished the four reasons to leave home and the five-kilometre travel restriction. Department of Health officials conducted thousands of hours of interviews, identified and isolated 3400 close contacts, and processed 212,000 tests during the snap lockdown, according to the government. The five-day lockdown came in response to an outbreak stemming from the Holiday Inn at Melbourne Airport. Mr Andrews foreshadowed restrictions easing further next week depending on the COVID-19 situation. For more information, phone the coronavirus hotline on 1800 675 398 or visit coronavirus.vic.gov.au.

Safety funding for Geelong and Surf Coast roads Geelong and Surf Coast roads will receive a combined $12.69 million funding boost for safety upgrades, the federal government has announced. Two thirds, $8 million, will go towards roads in the marginal electorate of Corangamite, while the remainder will go towards the safe Labor seat of Corio. The Corangamite funding includes: • $504,000 for the Barwon Heads Road and Bluestone School Road intersection improvements project; • $1,008,000 for a safety barrier on the Portarlington Highway between Point Henry

and Moolap Station roads • $1,008,000 for safety improvements on the Bellarine Highway and at the Queenscliff intersection. • $2,520,000 for the Forrest-Apollo Bay Road and Skenes Creek Road safety improvement project; • $2,520,000 for Portarlington and Queenscliff road safety improvements; and • $504,000 for road safety upgrades along the Great Ocean Road, west of Apollo Bay (shared with the Wannon electorate). In Corio the funding includes: • $705,600 for road safety upgrades to Shannon

Avenue and Church Street; • $957,600 for safety improvements at three intersections on Pakington Street; and • $3,024,000 for Melbourne Road safety improvements from Cox Road to Broderick Road. Victorian senator Sarah Henderson announced the funding on Wednesday and described its timing as ideal. “This vital funding is not only providing a much-needed boost to local jobs and the economy, it is delivering life-saving upgrades to ensure road users stay safe on our roads,” the Geelong-based Liberal senator said.

“The most important thing we can do for our community is to ensure we all get home safely as even one death or serious injury on our roads is one too many.” The funding is part of the first round of the federal government’s $2 billion Road Safety Program. Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack said works under the project were scheduled for completion by mid-2022. The funding includes a ‘use it or lose it’ provision requiring states and territories to use their notionally-allocated funds within a time frame, otherwise the funds can be reallocated to projects in other jurisdictions. 5 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 19 February, 2021

Stress a rising concern By Luke Voogt Geelong residents were the “third-most stressed” in Victoria during the two years to October 2020, according to a nationwide health survey by a pharmaceutical chain. Priceline’s Australia Health Report, based on data from 700,000 checks at its health stations across Australia between November 2018 and October 2020, found 11.4 per cent of Geelong respondents reported high stress levels. This placed greater Geelong third out of Victoria’s local government areas, the company stated. The finding contrasts with the 2017 Victorian Population Health Survey. “Based on this 2017 public health survey, [greater] Geelong is well below the top three for psychological distress,” Barwon Health Healthy Communities manager Mairead

O’Sullivan said. In the 2017 survey, 14 local government areas had a higher percentage of respondents reporting high or very high levels of psychological distress than in greater Geelong. Although greater Geelong still ranked higher, on 18 per cent, than the Victorian average of 15 per cent. The 2018 Victorian Population Health Survey, which divided the data by region rather than local government area, showed the Barwon region had the fifth-highest percentage of high or very high psychological distress at 19.5. The Victorian Department of Health is still compiling its 2019 and 2020 surveys. Priceline’s survey reported that 17.5 per cent of Geelong respondents smoked, while 56.5 per cent recorded a high body mass index. The 2017 public health survey also showed

obesity and smoking rates in Geelong were slightly higher than the Victorian average. Ms O’Sullivan encouraged locals to perform at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day and eat healthy. “There are many ways to be physically active and we encourage people to find the activity that is right for them,” she said. “Healthy eating has never been so important. Good nutrition helps to build a healthy body and mind, and improves your mood.” She encouraged locals to practice self-care to reduce stress and get enough sleep. “Develop good sleep habits that you can build into your daily routine, like avoiding caffeinated drinks too close to bed time and using the last hour before bed to relax your mind.” She urged smokers to call Quitline on 13 78 48.

Raids target bikies Police seized samurai swords, a handgun, ammunition and drugs in a series of raids targeting the Bandidos outlaw motorcycle gang across Geelong. Detectives executed warrants at residential and commercial properties in Lovely Banks, Breakwater, Moolap, Herne Hill and Belmont, along with a Breakwater clubhouse, on February 10. They charged a 28-year-old Herne Hill man with possessing a handgun, possessing a prohibited weapon, and cultivating and possessing cannabis. Detectives also charged a 27-year-old Herne Hill woman with possessing and cultivating cannabis. Both have been bailed to appear at Geelong Magistrates Court on September 9. A 30-year-old Moolap man is set to face charges on summons for drugs and ammunition offences, while police released a 31-year-old Lovely Banks man pending further inquiries. The operation included officers from the Echo Taskforce, Geelong Tasking and Crime Intervention Team and Australian Federal Police’s national anti-gangs squad. Police urged anyone with information on outlaw motorcycle gang activity to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au. Luke Voogt

Evan Hocking, Dave O’Neil and Lehmo entertain St Joseph’s parents. (Pictures: Supplied)

Comedy trio beat state lockdown A “kid pulling monos” and bats flying overhead could not stop three top comedians entertaining St Joseph’s parents last Friday – right in the nick of time. The trio of Dave O’Neil, Anthony “Lehmo” Lehmann and Evan Hocking provided some much-needed comic relief hours after the announcement of Victoria’s snap COVID-19 lockdown, but before it came into effect. “Me and Lehmo got home with about 40 minutes to spare – it was a great night!” O’Neil told the Independent. “Open air gigs are usually not that good for comedy, because the laughs will dissipate outdoors, but they were a fantastic audience. “I think everyone was just happy to be out, and have their last hoorah before a five-day lockdown.” 6 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 19 February, 2021

Former St Joseph’s College student and Geelong Cats champion Cameron Ling served drinks at the event. “Lingy was there working behind the bar,” O’Neil said. “I said, ‘you know you’re in Geelong when there’s a three-time premiership player behind the bar’. “During Lehmo’s gig there was a kid pulling monos on his bike behind him. Everyone was cheering him and Lehmo was saying, ‘don’t encourage him!’ “I, of course, had to contend with bats flying over me but that was OK, because I’ve got material about eating bats, so that led into it well. “I have them flying over my house all the time, but I’ve never thought, not once, ‘I wonder what

they taste like’ – and I’m fat – I’ll eat anything.” The St Joseph’s College Parents and Friends had already postponed the event last March and September, the school’s community and development director Kristen Gleeson explained. “It was meant to be in our performing arts centre but because of the announcement on Friday afternoon they moved onto Zampatti Oval, which worked out well. “They just snuck in. Everyone was pretty happy to come along. “They had plenty of stories about what they had been up to throughout the pandemic, and a lot of material about parenting and teenagers.” “It was about getting the community together and having a good night to start the year.”

A recent increase in “opportunistic” burglaries and car thefts in Geelong has prompted a police warning for people to lock their homes and vehicles. Last month, an 18-year-old Corio man and an unidentified accomplice allegedly gained access to a home in Geelong via unlocked front security and main doors while a family of four slept. They allegedly stole two sets of car keys from a hallway table and two cars parked in the driveway. Officers arrested the Corio man and charged him with four counts of aggravated burglary, five counts of motor vehicle theft and two counts of handling stolen goods. He was remanded to appear at Geelong Magistrates Court on March 15. Earlier this month, a thief entered an unsecured home while the female occupant was asleep. Police are still hunting the thief, who stole a computer, a mobile phone, bank cards and a tablet from the women’s bedside table. The bank cards were used multiple times in Geelong after the burglary, according to police. Police warned that thieves were increasingly targeting personal papers, passports and other identification. Criminal networks can use these to obtain credit in the victim’s name or commit other identity fraud, police said. The majority of these recent crimes had resulted from unlocked properties or vehicles, with no sign of forced entry, according to Leading Senior Constable Andrew King. He urged residents to lock their homes and vehicles, and encouraged them to security features such as CCTV cameras. Residents can report suspicious behaviour to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au Luke Voogt

He speaks to Luke Voogt about his 660-goal soccer career and life in Geelong. Tell us about you… I live in Bell Post Hill and I’ve been in Geelong for 69 years. I have three children, Annette, Justyn, who died when he was 40, and Nick, and three grandchildren. I was born in Germany, of Polish parents. My dad had two salons, one in Warsaw and one on the Rhine. We came here when I was five, on January 12, 1950. We lived in Bonegilla, Rushworth, Shepparton and Benalla before moving to Bell Park in 1952. My dad worked on the cranes, cutting hair and as a butcher. My mother was the brains, he was the workhorse. How did you become a hairdresser? I started cutting hair when I was about 14 after school with my father. He did ladies and gents, I just did gents. After I left school, I became a law clerk. We were based in Geelong but we travelled all over Victoria when needed. I later became a legal executive and I worked in law for 33 years. Then I qualified as hairdresser. My dad was still working full-time when he died in the shop from his third heart attack at age 86. People started saying, “Joe, cut my hair because your father’s gone”. I knew how to cut so I just kept cutting. I’m planning to work until the same age as dad but I’m only working a few days a week. What sports have you played? I played Aussie rules with Geelong West from nine to 14 and later Chanel College. As a kid I played several sports. I was a very fast runner – that’s how I kicked all my goals –

I also like to go to Geelong’s Croatian clubs for a fish meal on Friday. How have you coped with COVID-19? I haven’t been playing music as much as normal. With hairdressing, except for this five-day lockdown, we’ve been open all through. they couldn’t catch me. I was amateur boxer from 16 to 17. I went to Tasmania, Sydney, all over the place with school. I was undefeated in 10 matches. I also grew up playing soccer, which I continued as an adult. I kicked 501 goals for Bell Park Sports Club and about 160 for other teams. I played for East Geelong Tennis Club for 23 years. I also played volleyball for 40 years for

Syrena Sports Club. I’ve got a new hip and two new knees but I’m still walking around OK. I’m starting to kick the ball again. What do you like to do locally? I love going to Bistrot St Jean in Moorabool Street – that’s my favourite place to eat. I’m a life member of White Eagle, my brother Michael is one of the founders.

What’s something about you that people might not know? I’ve played the accordion for 63 years and I’ve got eight of them. I’ve got my own band called Joe Parks and the Flamingos. We play at Warrnambool every year for Oktoberfest and we’ve played at The Rheingold for 31 years. I played at Pako Festa for 21 years but I haven’t been there for the past four.

Court cases pile up 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

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.”

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.”

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.

YOUR SAY Cashless card fails again

Don’t be pressured

An ABC TV report on the cashless welfare card has again highlighted problems with the card. A number of issues are at play here. Firstly, the quarantining of people’s welfare pay constitutes the government breaking its own laws on restraint of trade, under Consumer Law. In the outback, it has been demonstrated that the card fails often, especially in the instance where some people travelled large distances to their nearest township, only to find that services were down and no transactions could take place for want of trusty old cash. Imagine the inconvenience. Furthermore, quarantining denies the ability to seek out the best prices such as are available at Sunday and Farmers markets, rather than being stuck having to shop at the big supermarkets, whose prices are often overly high. The cashless card is also an assault on people’s privacy and their right to self-determination, which are fundamental. And with another one million or so people now on the dole due to COVID-19, the number of vulnerable people just skyrocketed. And no-one can tell me these people are all alcoholics or drug addicts. And if the government is concerned, even, about people smoking tobacco, then they might mitigate the damage via a drastic reduction in tobacco excise, mightn’t they? At least then someone might get happy.

They rolled up unannounced and uninvited. Two Pacific Islanders towing tree lopping/ trimming equipment. Asked me whether I wanted a large tree cut down on my property. I asked for a quote which was given in milliseconds. $3500 – a “special” offer, I was solemnly assured. Which I did not accept having received three quotes from local companies which varied from $950-$1400. A bit of a margin. Might have worked with confused elderly people. My advice is not to make hasty decisions and get quotes on such matters before you proceed. And never allow yourself to be pressured. Fools and their money are soon parted.

Orchestra takes flight with Mozart By Luke Voogt Geelong Symphony Orchestra is set to take “flight” with Mozart when they perform the legendary composer’s longest and last ‘Jupiter’ symphony this month. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart completed Symphony No. 41 on August 10, 1788, three years before his death at age 35. “His peak was his end,” said Geelong Symphony Orchestra oboe player Stephen Moschner. “It’s Mozart in full flight.” Like the rest of the orchestra, Moschner was “crossing fingers and toes” this week in hope of the event going ahead on February 27. “We’ve only had one rehearsal so far and we were meant to have one tonight as well before lockdown came in,” the Highton local said on Tuesday. “At our first rehearsal it was great to see people we hadn’t in months.” The symphony features flute concerto K.314 and the overture from The Marriage of Figaro. The Jupiter symphony “doesn’t require a huge orchestra”, explained Moschner, who is also on the orchestra’s programming committee. Along with limiting the musicians onstage, the orchestra has also capped tickets at about 500, roughly half of Costa Hall’s capacity. “During our last concert in 2019 we had 850 to 900 people,” Moschner said. Moschner is the orchestra’s principal oboe player and has played in almost every concert since its founding in 2016. He learned the instrument in high school while growing up in Sydney. “I just wanted to be involved in the school band, I didn’t even know what an oboe was,” he said. “It’s one of those things where fate stepped in and someone just handed me an instrument and said, ‘play this’. “I remember going home to my mum and saying, ‘hey, I’m going to play this instrument’. “She said, ‘what is it?’ I said, ‘it’s an oboe. I don’t know what it is but I’m going to play it’. “I was very fortunate that my teacher was an oboe player in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. “It’s very rare to have a symphony-level teacher for your first lesson.”

Moschner moved to Melbourne to study at the Victorian College of the Arts and later met his wife, Geelong born-and-bred opera singer Lee Abrahamsen. “I produced an opera she sang in,” he said. “We had a lot of times where we crossed paths without meeting each other. I had actually played in an orchestra for her before.” Moschner moved to Geelong a decade ago. An instrumental teacher at the University of Melbourne’s conservatorium, he has never lost his passion for playing the oboe. “It’s a highly-technical challenge,” he said. “It’s never boring. You do live, at times, on

the edge of your seat. As with most orchestral instruments, it’s easy to get it wrong. Generally, the easier it looks the harder it is.” The same paradox applies to Mozart’s “highly-simplistic but highly-complicated” music, according to Moschner. “You actually read the score and think, ‘that looks really simple’. Then you get into the intricacies of actually playing it in an ensemble and realise it’s actually very hard. “To create the real effortless sound of what Mozart requires is really challenging.” The orchestra has recruited Sydney Symphony Orchestra flautist Joshua Batty and

conductor Richard Davis, both English expats, to help with the challenge. “Joshua’s probably the best flute player in Australia,” Moschner said. “Richard was originally his teacher and a flute player in the London Philharmonic Orchestra. He’s all over the repertoire, he knows it upside down and backwards.” But aside from the odd recruits, Geelong Symphony Orchestra features all local professional and semi-professional musicians. The show begins at 5pm at Costa Hall on February 27, pending Victoria’s COVID-19 situation. Details: gso.org.au/concert-series

King’s Tapestry of songs ‘speak for themselves’ Legendary singer-songwriter Carole King, 79, is not touring Australia anytime soon amid a global pandemic. “Not for the foreseeable future, anyway,” agreed Sydney performer Nicki Gillis, who plans to bring the magic of King’s music to the Potato Shed next month. Currently in her home city, Gillis hopes Victoria’s current coronavirus outbreak won’t stop her from performing in Drysdale on March 13. “I heard the announcement on TV, and I’m going, ‘oh no, you guys are in lockdown again!’” she said. “I’m hoping all will go well and I can get there. I’m feeling for you all and hoping that this is just a brief moment. “I just hope locals can come and celebrate the songs with me.” The Potato Shed gig is a “more intimate version” of her long-running show Tapestry The Concert, paying tribute to the songwriting genius of King. “This is just me and two musicians in raw form with these amazing songs,” she said. “This will be my first show, to the date, for 12 months.” Tapestry, the second solo album by the Grammy Award-winning American singer-songwriter, sold more than 14 million copies world-wide. The record features hits including It’s Too Late and I Feel the Earth Move, which spent 10 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 19 February, 2021

several weeks atop the Billboard Top 100 charts in 1972. The show also features hits So Far Away, Beautiful, Way Over Yonder, Where You Lead, Will You Love Me Tomorrow, Smackwater Jack and Tapestry. And Gillis also sings King’s other hits, It Might as Well Rain Until September and Natural Woman, which Aretha Franklin made her own. Unbeknown to some, King wrote songs

for the likes of The Beatles, The Monkees and The Chiffons, and other tracks sung by Kylie Minogue and Mariah Carey. “She wrote all these iconic songs,” Gillis said. “Which is what I love about singing her music, the songs weren’t just great in the ’70s, they were great in the ’80s, the ’90s, and they just keep going. “She didn’t have to glam up, she didn’t have to do anything outrageous. That’s what I love about her – the songs spoke for themselves.”

Born in Western Australia, Gillis began singing as a backing vocalist at age 15 and joined a band two years later. She has since played in several bands and released about a dozen of her own songs. In 2011 she released a cover album called Woman of Substance, including some of King’s hits, which prompted her to start a tribute show. “I’ve always connected with Carole King songs,” she said. “At the time of putting the show together Carole had never played the whole Tapestry album from start to finish live,” she said. “But just as I was planning the show, she went and did it!” Following King’s sold-out Tapestry concert in London in 2016, watched by a crowd of 65,000, and a tour of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical in the UK, Gillis toured England with her show. She continued performing for hundreds at a time in Australia right up until COVID-19 hit. “It was like someone just pulled the plug out of the wall,” she said. “We had nothing.” Her latest show is scheduled to begin at 8pm at the Potato Shed on March 13, dependent on Victoria’s COVID-19 situation. Gillis vowed to get to the Potato Shed, eventually, if the situation worsened in coming weeks. “We won’t just cancel, we’ll reschedule, we’ll work something out – come on!” she said. Luke Voogt

The formerly derelict Ritz reborn By Luke Voogt The Ritz Hotel is set to open next month after an extensive redevelopment of the site, which previously sat derelict for decades. Built circa 1854 and formerly known as the Belle-Vue Hotel, the heritage-listed central Geelong building was retained as an investment by Tim Truong for more than 30 years. Mr Truong lodged several applications over decades to develop the site, beginning in 1984, as the building deteriorated due to vandals, squatters and numerous fires. Over the years the derelict building drew the ire of mayors, councillors and Geelong residents alike, who labelled it an eyesore. Anger over the condition of the building resulted in the December 2014 introduction of a neighbourhood amenity law, nicknamed ‘The Ritz law’, allowing council to fine the owners $2000 a month. In late 2016, council successfully prosecuted Mr Truong and wife Diem Truong for allowing the building to fall into a state of dilapidation and ignoring council notices to repair it. Geelong Magistrates Court convicted the Truongs of six charges and ordered them to pay a fine of $12,000 plus $5000 costs. In early 2017, a syndicate of investors under the name Bellarine Heights bought the site for $4.5 million. In December that year Planning Minister Richard Wynne approved developer Integrated Development Solutions’ plans for a $30.8 million redevelopment. In August 2019, workers completed the demolition of the building’s interior. “The building was so fragile it took approximately half a million dollars of engineering works to hold the façade together,” Integrated Development Solutions’ owner Phil Petch said. Later that year, Ireland Brown Constructions began work on the luxury hotel building and the restoration of the original facade. “What you see now [of the facade] is what you saw in 1854,” Mr Petch said. The new 4.5-star short-stay hotel features 128 serviced apartments on nine levels, with the majority boasting views of the waterfront. The building has been designed for energy efficiency, with 80 solar panels on its roof and a seven-star energy rating for guest rooms. The hotel has seven levels of undercover parking, dedicated bike areas and two solar-powered electric vehicle charge stations. The rooms feature Victorian-made beds, Geelong-made tables and artwork from Melbourne, as part of the developers’ bid to source interior fittings and furnishings “as much as possible” from Geelong and Australian makers. The Ritz Hotel, Geelong is scheduled to officially open on March 1.

PAWN STARS 7MATE, 7pm

They say one person’s trash is another one’s treasure and catching an episode of this long-running show makes you wonder just how much treasure we may be sitting on without knowing it. Tune in here to see what kind of items pawn shop owners Richard, Rick (pictured left) and Corey get excited about. Tonight’s episode is a mix of entertainment and history, as the trio appraise a shower curtain signed by Psycho star Anthony Perkins – is it really the shower curtain though?

FRIDAY

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? SBS, 8.30pm

Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan (pictured) made her name in the UK, but does she have any ancestral ties to her adopted home? Her young daughter Violet considers herself very English, and Ryan describes her father’s side of the family as “super Irish”, but she has no idea about her mother’s roots. Ryan’s snowy Canadian odyssey takes her to Toronto, before leading to a Methodist minister and his family in colonial Nova Scotia, cod traders in Newfoundland and her three-times greatgrandfather James Arminius Richey, a poet of some renown. Eventually, a twinkly-eyed historian in Dorset reveals whether Ryan has any English forebears with which to impress her daughter.

FEATURING ... PAKO FESTA

Festival of flavour, with a side of COVIDSafe The much-loved local Pako Festa event will be taking on a new format this year due to COVID-19, but the food, culture and experiences on offer will be just as diverse and delicious as ever. Traditional street vendors in Pakington Street will be replaced with a broader offering of dine-in and takeaway food across a number of locations and there will be cultural displays and a program of entertainment to enjoy. Pako Festa’s 2021 global food offering will showcase the cuisine of 19 of Geelong’s ethnic communities across 13 locations. Event-goers are invited to place takeaway or dine-in orders at bookings.pakofesta.com.au, where they can browse the locations and menu items on offer from each participating group. Place orders on or before Wednesday, February 24. Event director Luisa LaFornara said that the local ethnic community groups were looking forward to showcasing their cuisines in the new format. “We hear time and time again how much people enjoy the multicultural food at Pako Festa each year, so we are delighted that we can continue to offer this for people to enjoy in 2021 in a COVIDSafe way,” Ms LaFornara said. “We need people to pre-book online for a few reasons – it allows us to stagger the arrival times and control numbers, facilitate contact tracing if required and to send out COVIDSafe information to patrons prior to the event as required by the government.” Time slots are available for February 27, 2021 from 10.30am-4pm. With numbers limited in each time slot at each location, event-goers are urged to book now to avoid disappointment. For COVIDSafe reasons, event-goers can only dine-in at one location, but can book takeaway orders at as many different locations

as they like. Diversitat acting chief executive Brian McMahon said Pako Festa is a vital fundraiser for Geelong’s ethnic communities. “Every Pako Festa is a wonderful opportunity to showcase diversity and multiculturalism, but it also importantly helps to ensure the ongoing sustainability of these local communities,” he said.

“As always, all the proceeds of the event go straight back to the communities. “After a very challenging year, it’s great that we can continue to run this event in the new format and we’d like to sincerely thank the Geelong community for their support so far.” For more details visit www.pakofesta.com.au or book via bookings.pakofesta.com.au

FEATURING ... SENIORS

Celebrate the golden years in good spirits Imagine relaxing with friends, surrounded by warmth and humour; eating wholesome food and enjoying heart-lifting entertainment; medical and support services; and being encouraged to be yourself. MACS chief executive Joy Leggo says that aged care service MACS offers just that with its supported residential facility, Bella Chara in North Geelong. “This unique, homely place tailors its service to everyone, from the recently retired who seek extra support to anyone, needing respite care,” Ms Leggo says. She is dedicated to providing excellence in care and champions the values of diversity, dignity, integrity, respect and empowerment. “We are all from different backgrounds and have experienced unique social, cultural and religious influences; however, there are a few things that bind us together – community, love and care. That’s what is important at MACS,” she says. “We want every person who lives at MACS to have an enriched experience, to be included, understood and respected for their unique way of being. I believe everyone is entitled to that. “We also offer beautiful respite rooms with private en suites and balconies and around-the-clock care provided by professional staff. “This care model is quite distinct. Life is not a one-size-fits-all experience. Our differences are to be celebrated. That’s what life at Bella Chara is all about.” The architecturally-designed facility provides spacious rooms with en suites, within the safety of the MACS community. Residents enjoy private verandas and patios, landscaped gardens, community dining and lounges – and happy hour at the bar. A library, multi-faith chapel, boutique, bakery, café, and hairdresser are all on site. Private car parking and a central lift provide ease of access and security and nurses are on-call. “We have so much on offer here. Everything from art classes to Mindful Moves classes, choirs and concerts. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in the fun … to celebrate the golden years in good spirits.” No financial or aged care assessments are required for entry into Bella Chara.

USED CAR CHECKOUT

Nissan Murano 2005 - 2015 By Ewan Kennedy,Marque Motoring Nissan Murano SUV was ahead of its time in styling and didn’t sell as well as it deserved in this country. But times have changed and these days many SUVs and crossovers have smoother lines that look quite swish. Murano has stretch-out room for four adults. Three grown-ups in the back works fine if they aren’t overly broad in the beam. Four have stretch out space. As a real bonus the flat floor at the rear seats makes life easy for the person seated in the centre. Too often they have to sit with their legs splayed around a central tunnel, but not in the big Nissan. The first Muranos arrived Down Under in September 2005. They gained strong acceptance by experts and some potential buyers because they were powered by a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine based on that in many upmarket Nissans. This gave plenty of performance and made Murano quicker, smoother and more refined than most others in this class with four- cylinder power. The second-generation Murano, introduced here in January 2009, carried the same overall theme as the original shape. However, it sat on a new platform that gave it added rigidity and a quieter ride. Seating was even more spacious and the boot had significantly more volume. The 3.5 V6 was reworked to give it more power and torque. Its excellent smoothness continued to impress. The second generation has an emphasis on a luxury look and feel, making it a complete move away from the sort-of sporty appearance of the first-generation. Nissan was one of the pioneers in modern day CVT automatics. In the gen-two it has pre-

The 2005 Nissan Murano, 2009 Nissan Murano and 2014 Nissan Murano. (Pictures: Supplied)

selected ratios to give the driver a fair degree of manual control when they don’t agree with the computer’s decisions on the best ratios. The European-based suspension system provides handling characteristics that are pleasant enough, but the Murano is certainly no sports wagon and may disappoint drivers who anticipate more from its sleek appearance. Nissan has been in Australia since way back in the Datsun days of the 1960s so there are many well established dealers throughout the country. As is common, these are mainly in metro areas, but the strong Nissan commercial vehicle range means there are quite a few in the bush and country towns. Murano is a complex car and we feel that anything other than simple service items are best left to professional mechanics. Servicing and maintenance that have been carried out according to the book can be a strong selling point. Insurance premiums are usually in the same range as other standard SUVs, so charges are

pretty reasonable. There isn’t a huge variation from company to company. While we say it pays to shop around, make sure you compare like for like. It’s also wise to have a long history with one insurer as this may stand you in good stead if there’s a marginal claim. What to look for Make sure the engine starts easily and idles almost imperceptibly from the moment it’s running. Ideally this should be done after the engine is completely cold, overnight is best. During your test drive check that the continuously variable transmission seems to be in the right ratio for the situation. There were some reliability problems in early CVTs. See if this is recorded in the service records. Look for oil leaks from engine, CVT and transfer-case joints. Check the complete interior for signs of damage caused by bored kids. Also look at the luggage area in case things

Two-man show gets it right Keleman Motors is a well-respected name in Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula and has been for more than 40 years. Shane Lockyer and Joe Atkinson took ownership of the region’s only independent Mazda specialist three years ago and Shane says it’s meticulous workmanship and customer focus that’s seen them continue building on a solid foundation. “We offer a strictly honest approach to workmanship of the highest quality,” Shane says. “We’re also known for our fair prices.”

The duo each has more than 15 years’ experience in the trade and make sure looking after their customers is a top priority as they carry out servicing and repairs to all makes and models. “There’s just the two of us in the workshop,” Joe says, “so customers can talk directly to the mechanic actually doing the work. And we always take time to explain in detail any issues their car may have. “No work is ever carried out without approval, but we’ll recommend what a vehicle

needs. Then the decision is left to the customer whether to go ahead.” Shane finishes by saying, “It’s just a two-man show but we do it right – price and quality-wise.” Keleman Motors, Factory 3, 13-15 Crown Street, South Geelong.

Cats keen for rescheduled round By Luke Voogt Geelong Cricket Club’s finals hopes could depend on if Cricket Victoria decides to reschedule last Saturday’s round, cancelled amid the state government’s snap COVID-19 lockdown. The cancellation could cost the Cats, who were scheduled to play second-from-thebottom-placed Camberwell Magpies. Coach Nick Speak hoped Cricket Victoria would replay the round later in the season, with Geelong facing five sides above it on the ladder in its other six games. “It was put to presidents, captains and coaches,” he said. “Our point of view was, ‘yes,

let’s find an alternative date’.” Geelong’s batsmen lead the competition on 2483 runs for, 335 ahead of ladder leaders Carlton. Opener Eamonn Vines averages 75 for the season while, like him, Josh McDonald and Gus Boyd have made centuries. Thomas Jackson averages 53.1. The Cats came close to toppling the third-placed Melbourne side, featuring several Big Bash players, prior to the cancelled round. “If Vines and Boyd had kept their partnership going it would have likely broken that game open,” Speak said. “We lost in the space of three overs.” The Cats hope to improve with ball, with

pacemen Brody Couch and spinner Tom O’Connell returning to the side a few rounds ago from Big Bash squads. “We’re looking more resilient in that area,” Speak said. “Our fielding has been a focus since Christmas. It’s going OK but it’s still something we need to improve. Tomorrow the Cats take on fourth-placed Dandenong, which Speak previously coached. In-form batsmen Brett Forsyth, Edward Newman and Tom Donnell, all-rounder James Nanopoulos, who has 21 wickets, and former Sri Lankan off spinner Suraj Randivc could all be dangerous. “Their top six is very strong but there are

holes in every side, so we just have to find them and exploit them,” Speak said. “The beauty of a win against the sides above us on the ladder … is it takes a win off them too.” In GCA division one, North Geelong sits atop the ladder, followed by Lara, South Barwon and East Belmont. In division two, Bell Post Hill leads the ladder, followed by Marshall, Geelong City and Torquay. Lethbridge leads division three, followed by Geelong West, Bannockburn and Corio. In the Barwon Women’s Cricket Competition East Belmont Deb leads Ocean Grove, Barrabool and Manifold Heights.

New date for classic A major cycling race initially set to pass through Geelong’s north last Saturday has been rescheduled to May 1. Organisers postponed the Melbourne to Warrnambool Classic last Friday after the state government announced a five-day lockdown earlier that day. The classic is the longest one-day cycling race in Australia and has run on-and-off for 126 years, according to promoters. “What had been planned to be a great Warrny last weekend, will now be a great Warrny on May 1,” said Shane Wilson, chair of the Warrnambool Citizen’s Road Race Committee. “The cycling community and our partners have provided us with great support to reschedule so quickly. Our team is raring

to go.” Recent Australian time trial cycling champion Luke Plapp and world track champion Kelland O’Brien had been set to join what organisers described as “one of the best fields ever” for the race. Plapp, 20, toppled four-time time trial champion Luke Durbridge at the national championships in Ballarat on February 3. Plapp and O’Brien both ride for Australia in the team pursuit squad aiming for gold at the Tokyo Olympics in July. Riders can enter the event via the race website www.melbournetowarrnambool.com.au Existing entries will be carried over from the initial race date or can be refunded by contacting AusCycling.

SPORT Ladder battle heats up in local tennis With tennis cancelled at the weekend due to Victoria’s recent snap lockdown, the battle in the men’s section 1 top four has intensified. Highton (54.5) leads Grovedale (52.5) in the quest for the minor premiership in the top local men’s division. With only two points separating the teams, the run home will be crucial to both once competition resumes. Highton, led by Jamie Heaton, are set to face fifth-placed Newcomb and bottom-placed Ocean Grove. Grovedale, with young guns Ryan Lee, Ned

Simpson and Jai Bosjnak, have a tougher run facing sixth-placed Surf Coast and third-placed Barwon Heads. Barwon Heads and fourth-placed Leopold seem unlikely to catch the two ladder leaders, trailing Grovedale by four and seven points respectively. The two teams are set to face each other in an early finals preview. Leopold took the points in their first encounter, but as the season has gone on all results have been much closer than the first few rounds.

With finals looming, all four teams will want to assert themselves and build some good form when competition returns. In the top mixed division, Waurn Ponds is all but guaranteed the minor premiership with a 15-point lead over the three teams from Grovedale. Nicole Mullen has led the way with an unbeaten record for the season taking all 30 of her sets. The battle for second and the double chance looks to be going to Grovedale Gold. But with a tough run scheduled against Waurn Ponds and third-placed Grovedale Yellow in the last

two weeks, they may drop to third to meet Grovedale Black in the first elimination final. Grovedale Yellow have been strengthened with the return of Grant Thompson from injury. They will be pushing hard to move ahead of club rivals Gold for the opportunity to take on Waurn Ponds in the first final. In the section 1 boys, the top of 15 local boys’ leagues, Geelong Lawn Green leads Wandana Heights Blue by just a point. In the section 1 girls Geelong Lawn leads Grovedale by 11 points.

Fishers keen to get back out after lockdown ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos

First-time clash for Cats The Cats will take on the Saints for the first time in AFLW history tonight as they strive for their first victory of the season. St Kilda was one of four new teams to join the competition in 2020, but COVID-19 cut the season short before they could face Geelong for the first time. Last Friday the Cats were just a point behind the Western Bulldogs at the final break at GMHBA stadium. But the Dogs kicked another two goals in the fourth to hand the Cats their third loss. “I thought the effort was fantastic, we can’t find any fault with that,” Geelong AFLW coach Paul Hood said after the game. “It was the most complete four-quarter performance from an intensity perspective we’ve given. “But we’re not content with the result and want to keep working on our ability to score and find each other inside 50.” Cats captain Meg McDonald led by example in the defensive half with 16 disposals and three marks. The defender put in a whole-hearted performance against her former team, making an effort to intercept or spoil whenever possible. Midfielder Amy McDonald has had a breakout season, averaging 18.3 disposals and 5.3 tackles a match. The 23-year-old continued her form against the Dogs with 23 disposals and eight clearances, and laid six tackles for a best-on-field performance for the Cats. About 1000 spectators watched the game

despite the state government announcing the snap lockdown earlier that day, and the AFL freezing ticket sales before the lockdown came into effect. The state government’s easing of the lockdown on Wednesday allowed the AFLW to continue into round four this weekend. The Cats will need to improve their efficiency inside 50 against the Saints at Moorabbin tonight, while maintaining their intense pressure around the ball.

The side’s tackling, smothering and spoiling have been solid throughout the year. Apart from that, like their coach hinted, the Cats will need to work at that age-old cliché of putting together a full four quarters of footy. Meanwhile, in the men’s side, gun midfielder Mitch Duncan is in doubt for the Cats’ season-opener after back-to-back calf setbacks this summer. Duncan is expected to miss both the Cats’ practice match against Collingwood and their pre-season game against Essendon. Patrick Dangerfield is working on his fitness amid a persistent groin injury, while All-Australian defender Tom Stewart appears to have overcome quad soreness. Jeremy Cameron suffered a minor hamstring strain after Christmas but has since returned to training. The star recruit spoke to SEN Breakfast recently about moving into his own local house last week and settling in at the Cats. “The guys have been really welcoming and the club’s been great,” he told the station. “I’m still amazed that you can be 15 minutes outside of Geelong and feel like you’re in Dartmoor [Cameron’s hometown]. “For me that’s been great; the ocean’s really close, the family’s a lot closer, but just the general nature of living has been awesome and that’s something I really wanted to do.” The Cats will face Collingwood in a closed practice match next Friday at GMHBA Stadium before taking on Essendon in their Community Series game on March 6, also at home.

Well the news all us fishers have waited for had come around, again! After our short-lived snap lockdown we are all able to get back out and wet a line. Obviously we haven’t had any reports come in over the past week but there is still plenty of good options out there. Clifton Springs still should have some good fishing on offer for pinkie snapper, whiting and squid. They should all be hanging in similar areas, which makes it easy with the snapper in 7 metres of water, the whiting between 4-6 metres and the squid holding on the shallow weed beds in about 3 metres. Offshore, Barwon Heads should still have some hot tuna action going at the moment and with the lack of boats on the water over the past five days they should chew pretty well. Trolling small skirts along the coast in 40 metres of water would be a good starting point. Kings should still be hanging around off Ocean Grove but it will be well worthwhile poking your head in the rip as they should start to show up in there over the next few weeks. The Barwon River around Fyansford will be well worth a look, especially if you’re taking the kids as it provides great access close to home and is currently fishing very well. Perch, redfin and carp are all holding up in good numbers right through the system, with small hardbody lures and live worms working a treat.
