From heartbreak to hope By Luke Voogt With a beaming smile and tons of energy, Belmont two-year-old Malu Hunt is a fitting choice for the face of this year’s Good Friday Appeal. “We feel quite honoured to be chosen out of all of the thousands of families that attend the hospital,” his mum Erin Johnson said. “We’re really happy to be able to share his story and raise awareness.” Watching Malu chase older brothers Harlan and Jarvie around the backyard, few would guess he is adapting to life with only half a functioning brain. Malu underwent a rare and extremely complex surgery in July 2020 to completely disconnect one half of his brain while leaving it inside his head.

It blows my mind every day just to see the things that he’s doing - Erin Johnson

’’

The hemispherotomy, a surgery The Royal Children’s Hospital performs less than six times a year, was the last resort to save him from debilitating seizures. The seizures were relatively minor when they began, but they worsened rapidly, resulting in Malu blacking out and eventually losing his new-found ability to speak. “It was pretty heartbreaking as they progressed further and started getting longer,” Erin said. “It was a really tough time for our family.” Originating in the right hemisphere of Malu’s brain, the seizures also threatened to damage the “good” side of his brain, Erin explained. With little success through various medications, The Royal Children’s Hospital’s neurology team offered a final solution – a hemispherotomy. The team’s expertise helped Erin and dad Morgan Hunt make the difficult decision to have their one-year-old undergo invasive brain surgery for the best chance of a normal life. “They knew what they were talking about, and were able to answer our questions and offer advice on so many different things,” Erin said. “There wasn’t a moment that we weren’t going to have the surgery.” Erin and Morgan took turns at Malu’s

bedside as he recovered, with COVID-19 restrictions then allowing only one parent to visit at a time. The right hemisphere of the brain controls the left side of the body, meaning Malu had to “rewire” his remaining functioning hemisphere, Erin explained. “Initially, there was no movement at all,” she said. “He was back walking about six weeks after surgery but he doesn’t have much use of his left arm yet.” The operation also affected his eyesight, meaning his parents had to protect him from

hitting objects with him “zooming all over the place”. “There’s no slowing him down,” Erin said. “He’s really come out of his shell since his surgery, which has been lovely. “By the time he’s older he’ll have it mastered pretty well, hopefully. “That’s why we wanted to do the surgery as early as possible; so he had the best chance of his brain rewiring.” While Malu might not develop as high an IQ as he potentially could have with a full, healthy brain, his progress since the surgery

has amazed his parents. “His brain is rewiring itself,” Erin said. “He’s got about 30 words so we’re quite happy with how he’s progressing. I think his brain was focused on getting the physical side of things going first. “It blows my mind every day just to see the things that he’s doing. Most people would have no idea that he’s only functioning on one side of his brain.” The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal helps thousands of children like Malu each year.

North hub funding fight heats up By Luke Voogt Geelong council voted to assign an $8.3 million Commonwealth grant to its planned Northern Aquatic and Community Hub as debate over the project reached federal Parliament this week. Council received the grant under a federal roads and infrastructure fund, and on Tuesday night voted to assign the amount to the Norlane project. Council will request an extension to the June 2022 completion date for projects required under the fund’s rules, an

option available in the program’s guidelines. Councillors also voted to apply for $10 million for the project in round five of the Commonwealth’s Building Better Regions Fund. Combined, the funds could provide $18.3 million of the $41 million council is seeking from state and federal governments for the $61.6 million project. Council has already allocated the other $20.6 million. “We are seizing the opportunity to seek financial support for the Northern Aquatic and Community Hub through current federal funding schemes,” Geelong mayor Stephanie

Asher said. “Construction of the hub will be transformative for greater Geelong. “This is critical infrastructure that will provide life-changing preventative health support for communities in the north.” According to council studies, rates of “sedentary lifestyles” and poor health in the northern suburbs are double the greater Geelong average. Council estimates the hub will inject $67 million into the local economy and support 111 local jobs. Corio MP and deputy opposition leader Richard Marles told federal Parliament

the hub would create $111 million in preventative health savings in its first decade. Mr Marles said the project “enjoys my support” and that of Lara state MP John Eren. “It is now time for the federal government to commit to it,” he said. But federal Victorian senator Sarah Henderson accused Mr Marles of “hypocrisy”, stating that his state Labor colleagues had yet to fund the proposal. The Geelong-based senator welcomed council’s decision and said she would support its application for a further $10 million.

Ethnic communities cook up a storm Hamlyn Heights Australian-Ukrainian siblings Sofiyka and Maksyn Musyt have dressed up for the Pako Festa parade for eight years to celebrate the best of two worlds. Sofiyka, 13, and Maksyn, 16, joined the colourful multicultural parade soon after their family migrated to Australia, according to mother Melissa. “They’ve dressed up ever since they were little,” she said. “It speaks to parts of their identity that perhaps their friends don’t get to see. They feel like they’re strongly connected to both cultures.

“It’s so lovely and exciting to see everyone in their national costumes each year.” Melissa met husband Viktor while teaching at an international school in Kiev about 20 years ago. The children were born in Australia but the family lived in Ukraine for a few years before returning. They were disappointed this year’s parade had been cancelled but acknowledged the need to protect public health and safety amid COVID-19, Melissa said. Instead they plan to dig into some fantastic food as the local Ukrainian community cooks

up a storm at their hall on Pakington Street. The site is one of 13 across Geelong featuring cuisine from 19 ethnic communities. While bookings have closed for food, nightly projections at Geelong West Town Hall will also replace the iconic parade for two weeks, beginning tomorrow. Pako Festa will also showcase schools and professional and emerging artists in shop windows along Pakington Street in its Elements of Culture Arts Trail. Details: pakofesta.com.au.

Geelong council endorsed a “better than anticipated” Quarterly Financial Management Report on Tuesday night. The report to December 31, 2020, “paints a more favourable picture than anticipated” in the previous quarterly report, according to City Hall. The latest report includes a revised forecast deficit for the end of the financial year of $30.4 million, reduced from the previous forecast of $33.4 million. The annual budget, adopted last June, includes a recurrent operating deficit of $24.6 million and a non-recurrent surplus of $110.2 million, resulting in a net surplus of $85.6 million The recurrent operating result for the six-month period to December 31 is a deficit of $7.6 million, compared to a budgeted deficit of $15.8 million. “The result is far better than we had anticipated,” Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher said. “We’re very pleased that some of the unexpected expenses driven by the … pandemic have been partly offset to a greater degree than we had forecast. “Since September, we’ve enjoyed a stronger outlook with the reopening of leisure centres and other facilities and services. “Coupled with lower waste and utility expenses, and savings from continued office closures, we’ve made inroads to narrowing the expected variances.” Council is set to receive about $8 million this financial year from the Working for Victoria fund. Council has so far received $500,000 to support outdoor-dining and $2.1 million for local roads and infrastructure. The non-recurrent result for the six months was a surplus of $69.2 million, compared to a budgeted surplus of $53.4 million.

Finals ban following brawl By Justin Flynn The Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association has issued $25,000 in fines and banned two clubs from competing in this season’s D Grade finals after an on field brawl resulted in a match being abandoned on Saturday. Portarlington and Queenscliff cricket clubs were each slapped with a $12,500 fine, with $10,000 suspended for five years. The clubs occupied the top two spots on the ladder at the time of the brawl, but were stripped of all their points and will not be

eligible to compete in the finals starting March 6. The clubs were ordered not to play in their final D Grade home and away round matches tomorrow. The BPCA also strongly discouraged both clubs from selecting any player from the match to play in another grade tomorrow, whether they were involved in the confrontation or not. Police were called to Portarlington Recreation Reserve and are investigating an incident during Queenscliff’s innings that left batsman Michael Farrell in hospital with head

injuries. The match was abandoned after several players from both teams became embroiled in a physical altercation. Spectators were also involved. Both clubs have appealed the penalties. Portarlington president Peter Evans said his club was seeking legal advice. “We’re devastated by it and we acknowledge that it hasn’t been good,” he said. “We’re not here to say everyone is squeaky clean in this but it’s a bit unfair that you’ve got 22 blokes who are going to be punished for the

actions of a minimal amount of people. “We believe we have put together a pretty true indication of what happened on the day and we haven’t hidden away from anything we did.” Queenscliff Cricket Club said it was disappointed with the decision handed down by the BPCA. “We consider the punishment as unfair. We will be appealing the decision.” Six players – four from Portarlington and two from Queenscliff – and two spectators involved with Queenscliff will front the BPCA tribunal on individual charges on Monday night.

Shops back Billy in raffle East Geelong businesses have donated about $2500 in prizes to a raffle for Leopold man Billy Bubb, who was paralysed in a motorbike accident. Mr Bubb sustained a twice-severed spinal cord, lung damage and bruising to the brain in the accident in South Australia on New Year’s Eve. “We’ve had a great response from local businesses,” Zaharah Interiors owner Natalie Muscat said. “I just wanted to do something for the family, because they’re such a beautiful family. We like to get behind our own here in East Geelong.” Mr Bubb’s sister Amy thanked the community for the raffle, which follows a GoFundMe campaign that raised more than $45,000 for bills and medical expenses. “For all these East Geelong businesses and the community to come together to help us, it’s just incredible,” she said.

“We still have so many kind messages coming in each day and it just helps us get by knowing we have so much support.” Mr Bubb was paralysed from the waist down in the accident but has since regained consciousness. He was recently transferred from Royal Adelaide Hospital to the Austin Hospital in Melbourne. He has yet to regain movement in his right arm and is suffering short-term memory loss from post-traumatic amnesia, but is gradually improving, according to Ms Bubb. “Every time we tell him about the support he’s blown away,” she said. Tickets are available at Grandma’s Bottom Drawer, Head First Hair Design, Limeburners, The Last Piece and Zaharah Interiors. Prizes will be drawn at Ormond Road Fish and Chips, owned by the Bubb family, on April 20. Luke Voogt

Chorus back in full voice After falling silent for the first time in 77 years, the voices of Geelong’s International Harvester Male Chorus have burst into song again. The members returned to rehearsals in Newtown on Monday, but their regular concerts at aged care homes are a few months off yet, chorus secretary Tim Gibson admitted. “They always want us to go and do a concert for the residents but that won’t happen at the moment,” the 73-year-old said. “It’s just keeping the guys together to keep up our singing and repertoire, so when we do perform, we have something to sing about.” The full complement of singers attended on Monday, along with a new “enquirer”, according to Tim. The chorus began in 1943, as the men of

International Harvester’s North Shore factory made mines, vehicles and aircraft for WWII. The men sang as they worked and 25 employees started their own chorus. The group’s year-long hiatus in 2020 was the first time members had stopped singing at weekly rehearsals since. The chorus had only just returned to singing before Victoria’s recent snap lockdown. But with vaccinations beginning and the COVID-19 situation improving, Tim is hopeful the group can sing for many decades more. “We might as well say that – nothing like being optimistic,” he said.

Policeman found guilty of assault By Luke Voogt Geelong police Sergeant David Magher will discover his penalty today after being found guilty of twice assaulting a prisoner as other officers pinned him to the ground. The police officer of 26 years kicked Andrew Birch three times in the Corio police station sally port during an arrest on September 21, 2018, Geelong Magistrates Court heard. Police arrested then 36-year-old Mr Birch outside Corio Village Shopping Centre over a suspected armed robbery involving a knife, and took him to Corio police station.

CCTV footage of the sally port, viewed in court during a six-day hearing, showed Magher spraying Mr Birch with capsicum spray before kicking him to the ribs as he helped other officers bring him to ground. Magistrate John Lesser on Tuesday noted evidence from 10 police witnesses, all of who said Mr Birch aggressively resisted arrest, and spat and yelled profanities at officers. He ruled that the first kick was lawful, finding the action could have constituted a “tactical option” available to Magher as police brought Mr Birch to the ground. While describing the kick as “ill-judged”, Mr Lesser said he could

not find beyond reasonable doubt that it was an “unreasonable” use of force during the arrest. But about 30 seconds later Magher delivered the first of two more kicks as police held Mr Birch face-down on the floor with his cuffed hands outstretched. Magher admitted kicking Mr Birch, but his lawyer Stewart Bayles argued the blows were of “reasonable force in the circumstances” given Mr Birch’s aggressive resistance. But Mr Lesser disagreed, finding Magher guilty of assault for both kicks. “They stood out as gratuitous and unnecessary,” Mr Lesser said. “Regrettably, in the heat of the moment,

Sergeant Magher crossed the line.” Mr Birch died of a prescription drug overdose a week after the incident following his release from custody. Following the verdict, Crown prosecutor Sarah Thomas requested time to prepare victim impact statements from Mr Birch’s family. Mr Lesser granted the request, adjourning sentencing to a hearing today. Common assault carries a maximum penalty of three months’ prison. The charges followed an investigation by Victoria Police’s Professional Standards Command.

Jonathan scores final role Jonathan Zarb recorded Novak Djokovic’s every serve, fault and shot as he triumphed over Daniil Medvedev at the Australian Open men’s final. The 20-year-old central Geelong physiotherapy student was one of two scorers in his first time scoring the men’s final in nine years at the Grand Slam. “It was unbelievable,” he told the Independent from the Adelaide International this week. “I was quite nervous to begin with because I realised millions of people would be watching. But after a few games that disappeared. “Novak was so focused – he was mentally peaking. He never looked like losing.” Sunday night was not Jonathan’s first involvement in the big event; in 2015 he was a ball boy in Djokovic’s four-set championship win over Andy Murray. Jonathan started as a ball boy at age 12, and

in his fifth and final year came across a group of statisticians playing table tennis, and applied for the job. “I loved the Australian Open so much and I still wanted to be involved,” he said. “I was lucky to get straight in.” Now Jonathan, who plays at Centre Court in North Geelong, gets to travel across Australia a few weeks each summer to score at international tournaments. “We use a live computer system that sends statistics to the broadcast team and across the world,” he said. Jonathan enjoys watching the world’s best in action but warns “you have to be focused” at “all times.” He hopes to one day score at Wimbledon and the Olympics. “I can’t put it in words how much I love it. I wish I could do it all year,” he said. Luke Voogt

Assaults on jail guards anger MP By Luke Voogt A string of assaults against guards in a single ward at Barwon Prison in “six weeks” has prompted calls for government action to protect jail employees. Western Victoria MP Stuart Grimley demanded the state government release yearly figures after saying “a reliable source” had informed him of five assaults in six weeks at the maximum-security prison’s Banksia unit. “Hopefully releasing this information will put pressure on the government to make sure our prison officers are safe,” the Torquay-based

upper house MP said. Mr Grimley, a former police officer and state leader for Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party, alleged an officer was taken to hospital due to one of these assaults. The state government confirmed five assaults against prison staff had occurred between December 2020 and February 19, 2021, at the Banksia unit. Inmates assaulted officers in the unit a total of eight times in the year to February 19, but none of the incidents resulted in staff being hospitalised, a government spokesperson said. “The assaults have ranged from throwing water at an officer to physical contact,” the

spokesperson said. Mr Grimley alleged that an inmate, with a significant history of assaulting staff at different locations, was moved from a high-security management unit, to a lower security unit “out of convenience”. “A reliable source believes procedures that mitigate the risks of assault have been deteriorating over the last few years,” he said. “If this is true, a review of these procedures should be taking place.” But the state government rejected Mr Grimley’s allegation as “simply incorrect”. A government spokesperson said Corrections

Victoria would not tolerate violent behaviour and would refer all assaults to Victoria Police. Along with criminal charges, prisoners could face Corrections Victoria’s “tough” internal disciplinary sanctions including fines, loss of privileges or transfer. Banksia is a management unit for prisoners requiring a higher level of supervision, many who exhibit complex and/or violent behaviour. According to Productivity Commission data, the rate of serious assaults on officers in Victoria was 0.10 per 100 prisoners (eight victims) – a slight decrease 0.12 (10 victims) the previous year.

Remembrance contemplated

Robot prodigies in international comp A group of young robot specialists is preparing to take on the Asia Pacific after First Lego League organisers announced a tournament in July. Connor Wood, 14, is part of the Geelong Lutheran College team that won an interstate competition online late last year. “I was honestly really surprised,” the grade 9 student from Batesford recalled. “They had a live stream on YouTube where they went through all the different awards. “We hadn’t been given an award, so we thought maybe we might be a chance for the overall trophy.

“Then they announced it was us and everyone started screaming and cheering because it was such a big achievement for us to win the competition.” Like that tournament, which featured teams from South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania, the Asia Pacific tournament will be a virtual event. Connor has taken part in multiple similar events after watching previous robotics teams at the college prompted him to join. “I guess that got me interested in how the robots go,” he said. “I really enjoy the programming. We’ve got to program them to

do set challenges on a table and it’s a lot of fun. “You’ve got make sure all the turns and degrees of rotation are right. “It’s always a lot of fun to compete in the events and hear what the judges think about our project and our robot. “We put a lot of work into this. We had some slight problems in the parts of our robots [last tournament] so we have worked on those issues.” Organisers recently announced that the event would take place online from July 23 to 25.

Torquay RSL has called for local students to consider what Anzac Day will look like this year, with national services cancelled again due to COVID-19. “We believe our community will again commemorate Anzac Day at home this year – painting poppies and ‘Lest We Forget’ signs to display in the front of their houses, driveway family tributes at dawn, or solitary commemorations at their letterboxes,” RSL president Bob Tyler said. Mr Tyler encouraged students to enter the Anzac Day Schools’ Awards, which this year asks what commemoration looks like in their local community. “The awards encourage the next generation to gain a deeper understanding of Australia’s wartime history – from World War I to modern-day conflicts and peacekeeping operations,” Mr Tyler said. “We look forward to seeing this year’s entries showcasing how our local communities commemorate the service and sacrifice of our service men and women.” The national winner’s school will receive $5000, a trophy and a certificate, with $3000 up for grabs for state winners’ schools.

Neville on leave for chronic illness

Lisa Neville. (Louisa Jones) 218712_08 8 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 26 February, 2021

Police, Emergency Services and Water Minister Lisa Neville will take three months of leave after suffering her “worst” episode yet of a chronic auto-immune disease. The Bellarine MP was hospitalised on February 12 after complications from Crohn’s disease, which she has lived with for 32 years. “I remain in hospital currently,” she said in a statement on Saturday. “Over the past few months I had been managing the most recent episode from home, however my condition progressively worsened and required hospitalisation. “Many people in the community live with this condition, and to date I have successfully

managed the effects of it. However the current episode is the worst I have been confronted with.” Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel condition that affects the lining of the digestive tract and can sometimes cause life-threatening complications. Ms Neville had initially planned to return to work this week but, following extensive treatment, health professionals recommended she needed more time to recover. “The clear advice from my doctors is if I don’t take this period of rest and recovery, I will be faced with major bowel surgery and risk long-term consequences to the quality and length of my life,” she said.

Ms Neville spoke of the honour of working with police and emergency services, along with her love for the Bellarine Peninsula. She thanked health professionals and her cabinet and caucus colleagues for their support. “Thank you also to the many friends who have wished me well during this time,” she said. Planning Minister Richard Wynne will take over as acting water minister, while Assistant Treasurer Danny Pearson will take on the police and emergency services portfolios. Upper house member Gayle Tierney will act as the duty member for the Bellarine electorate. Luke Voogt

we all worry about taking the virus home to our family - Jessica Rhook

’’

“This will protect myself, my patients and the whole community. We all worry about taking the virus home to our family. It’s in the back of my mind when I’m working on the COVID ward. “People I work with are definitely excited about the vaccine and I feel confident about it being safe with all the scientific reviews and testing, and the fact it has been successfully rolled out in other countries.” Those receiving the vaccine on Monday included frontline healthcare workers in emergency care, acute wards, COVID-19 testing and aged care, and port and border workers.

Barwon South West Public Health Unit director Eugene Athan praised those in priority groups for signing up for the jab. “It’s pleasing to see so many staff putting their hand up to receive the COVID-19 vaccine today” Professor Athan said. “It’s an important part of our defence against the virus and in protecting our vulnerable population. “We would like to thank those in the first phase of the vaccination for protecting themselves from serious COVID-19 health implications, as well as their family, friends and colleagues.” Patients will require a second injection in a few weeks in order to obtain a vaccination certificate. Staff and residents in public residential aged care facilities will receive the vaccine next, with about 2000 people in Geelong to be inoculated in coming weeks. Aged care and disabled residents at homes in Drysdale, Lara, Ocean Grove, Point Lonsdale and Portarlington will also begin receiving the vaccination as part of phase 1a of the Commonwealth’s rollout. At TLC Homestead Estate in Wallington “up to” 130 aged care residents began receiving the vaccine on Monday, according to federal senator Sarah Henderson. Barwon South West Public Health Unit plans to establish more vaccination centres for the broader community once the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine becomes available.

Vaccination for aged care Geelong’s first public sector aged care residents and staff rolled up their sleeves to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday. The local rollout, which began with frontline healthcare staff and port workers on Monday, expanded to Barwon Health’s Alan David Lodge at Charlemont. Lodge resident Roz Welsh refused to let her fear of needles stop her getting the vaccine. “I’ve been a bit nervous, but I know I just have to do it because it’s something that might help others,” she said. “I would never be able to forgive myself if I had the virus and spread it to my friends, so I just have to do it.” Lodge associate nurse unit manager Jane

Byworth signed up for the injection to help protect the centre’s residents and her family. “I’ve got a 14-year-old at home and it’s really good knowing she’ll have some extra protection once I’ve had the vaccine,” she said. “It’s been a tough year for our residents, being isolated for so long, and also for our staff to be so vigilant in taking all the steps to protect them. It’s reassuring to know millions of people worldwide have already had the vaccine with little or no side effects.” Barwon South West Public Health Unit’s vaccination team also visited McKellar Centre this week.

Students broaden their horizons Geelong born-and-bred siblings Sophie and Oscar Radalj saved turtles in Costa Rica through a Deakin University program that this week won a nationwide award. They speak to Luke Voogt about making a difference for wildlife and people.

he sun set over the ocean at a Costa Rican beach as Sophie Radalj released about a dozen newly-hatched turtles into the sea. “We released them by hand and watched them swim off into the sunset,” she remembered. Sophie visited Verdiazul turtle refuge at age 19 in 2014 through Deakin University’s Global Experience Program, which this Wednesday won at the Australian Awards for University Teaching. Universities Australia recognised Burwood-based associate professors John White, Raylene Cooke and Mike Weston at the awards for their role in the program. Through the program Sophie helped protect turtle eggs from both natural predators and poachers. “It was the first time I had travelled overseas without family,” she said. “To be going over for a cause I was passionate about, I was pretty ecstatic. “It really helps to be out in the world when you’re learning about conservation.” Vendors illegally sell eggs from leatherback, olive ridley and black turtles at bars and on streets in South America, claiming them to be aphrodisiacs or have healing properties. So Sophie and her colleagues patrolled the beach at night for poachers and to collect eggs at risk of exposure. “We were wearing black so the poachers couldn’t see us but also so the turtles couldn’t, because if they get a fright they’re not going to lay their eggs,” she said. They took any at-risk eggs to the refuge to incubate for several weeks before releasing the hatchlings. The next summer the program took Sophie to an organic farm in Nepal, which doubled as a refuge for women – and their children – escaping domestic violence or ostracism due to mental health or divorce. Sophie helped run the farm, along with teaching English and other subjects. “We were lucky enough to be there for one of their festivals, so we did a lot of Bollywood dancing and they poked fun at our dancing,” she laughed. She remembered a girl who came to the farm as an orphaned toddler. “You could see her become a bit of a

leadership figure in her group of kids. Having all these women on the farm, she sort of accumulated all these different mothers too.” After university Sophie worked as a tour guide at Uluru to learn more about Aboriginal culture and history. The gig was a “stepping stone” to her next job co-ordinating a local Aboriginal land trust and ranger team. Her experience supporting and empowering women set her apart from other candidates, she said. “In my interview they were quite interested in my trip to Nepal and the skills I got from that. “A focus of working in that ranger team was to get more women in the group.”

Sophie recently moved to Apollo Bay to start work with the Southern Otway Landcare Network. Her younger brother Oscar followed her into wildlife conservation biology at Deakin University in 2016 and visited a similar Costa Rican turtle refuge through the same program. “I saw a heap of pictures when she got home,” he said. “Another friend went on it. It seemed very fulfilling and fun.” He also completed placements at Mount Buffalo, Cape Conway and in remote Tasmanian rainforest taking samples of facial tumours that currently plague Tasmanian devils.

“That was wild,” he said. The deceptively cute Tassie devils would shriek as the researchers weighed them and took samples as humanely as possible, before releasing them. “It’s all talk, they’re actually quite timid,” Oscar said. “The second you would open the bag to release them, they would sprint in the opposite direction.” After working as an environmental consultant for a few years, Oscar is heading back to university to become a teacher. Who knows, his future students might some day save endangered animals or help remote communities too.

Speaking

I was devastated to learn that the federal government only plans to raise the JobSeeker unemployment allowance by a mere $4 a day. This is a totally inadequate response to the desperate needs of the more than one million Australians faced with unemployment, including the many living right here in Geelong. With our economy in recession, it will be impossible for most of those without work to find full-time, meaningful employment. Thousands of Australians will again be forced to live below the poverty line and rely on charities and other people of goodwill to help them survive. I’m extremely disappointed with this government’s cruel response to their needs.

TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

GARDENING AUSTRALIA ABC TV, 7.30pm

MONDAY

UNDER INVESTIGATION NINE, 9pm

While discussion of a crime may pass through the fastpaced news cycle in the blink of an eye, the story doesn’t stop there and many – too many – cases go unsolved for decades. This new series, premiering tonight, sees 60 Minutes veteran Liz Hayes (pictured) and a team of experts examine crimes, divisive social issues and topical news events with the aim of digging beneath the headlines. This is the kind of in-depth analysis and exploration that has been missing from our screens.

SATURDAY

GOING PLACES WITH ERNIE DINGO SBS, 7.30pm

Ernie Dingo (pictured right) has a way about him that just gets people to open up. His laid-back nature and pure interest in people, their stories and their contributions to their communities shines in this series, now in its fourth season. Tonight, Dingo heads to Melville Island (Termalner in the local Tiwi language), a picturesque place in the eastern Timor Sea off the coast of the Northern Territory. Here he meets an expert carver, a passionate fisherman and a former AFL star who has hung up his boots and returned to work for his people. This series celebrates living local, loving were we live and learning about and welcoming this country’s rich diversity.

Live theatre a labour of love By Luke Voogt A Geelong mother and daughter are set to star in a World War I remake of a “lost” Shakespeare play, as local theatre groups slowly return to the stage. Hamlyn Heights actress Melissa Musselwhite plays three characters in Skin Of Our Teeth Productions’ Love’s Labour’s Won alongside daughter Rose, who has the lead role. “I’m trying to work on three different accents,” she told the Independent. Musselwhite has performed onstage for 40-plus years, including 30 in Geelong, and has been with Skin Of Our Teeth since its inception.

‘‘

the anxiety just flew away and I realised I was back in my happy place

’’

- Melissa Musselwhite Rose followed her mother into local theatre beginning with an odd role in Geelong Repertory Theatre’s production of Arsenic and Old Lace about a decade ago. “Probably the first show was when she was 14 – she played a dead body that got carried onstage over someone’s shoulder,” her mother recalled amusedly. “I think because she was little and light, that was what worked. “I remember saying to her, ‘if we’re really lucky we might get to perform a show together one day’. “And we’ve since done eight or nine together.” Rose will certainly be more animated in Love’s Labour’s Won playing at Waurn Ponds Hall for nine shows beginning on March 5. Love’s Labour’s Won is a lost play attributed by contemporaries to William Shakespeare, written before 1598 and published by 1603, though no known copies have survived. The play has been set in World War I

previously, but director Emma Watson has made this version her own, according to Mussewhite. “It’s going to be quite fresh, bright and new to people,” she said. “Emma has had this in the works for a long time. I think it’s very exciting for her to finally see it onstage – fingers crossed – next week.” The group returned to rehearsals recently after more than a year absent from the stage due to COVID-19. “I was actually feeling a little bit anxious about committing again to rehearsals,” Musselwhite admitted. “But the first rehearsal back, the anxiety just flew away and I realised I was back in my happy place. “And everyone else agreed. It’s a good place to be in.” Musselwhite most looked forward to her role as the padre, who “helps love win” when “things go awry”. She was thrilled to be part of one of the first local community theatre groups to return to the stage. “It’s a little bit of a risk but Christine Davey, who runs the company, has looked into every detail of what needs to happen,” she said. “Audiences can rely on the company to keep them safe and not to perform if it’s not safe.” The return of community theatre would be “absolutely” beneficial to the mental health of local actors, she said. “Most people I know who are involved in theatre always feel better after a rehearsal. “Or they release some emotions onstage that they never knew they needed to release. “It’s extremely important. It’s like having a second job for a lot of people. “It’s a job you don’t get paid for but it becomes a part of your life. It’s almost an addiction. “It keeps your brain active and it’s good for memory too. “It’s just a great vibe when you’re at the theatre it all comes together. “It’s that feeling of a group of people doing a great thing together that others get to enjoy.” Details: skinofourteeth.com

Soirees return with two special guest performers A series of soirées featuring Geelong’s most promising young jazz musicians has returned to Geelong Botanic Gardens with two new special guest performers. Geelong vocalist Paige Keel and guitarist Michael Smallwood are set to join the line-up tomorrow after the state government’s snap lockdown postponed the first of the Geelong Jazz Soirées. The series, the brainchild of Torquay piano prodigy Callum Watson, returned last weekend and is set to continue tomorrow and the following two Saturdays at 2pm. Earlier this month Watson, 23, spoke to the Independent about his excitement to play “with so many talented jazz musicians” for his first gig in almost 12 months. But the snap lockdown postponed the first of four soirées. Moriac singer Lucy Head will miss out on performing due to the change of schedule. “Otherwise, we’ve done pretty well,” Watson said. “We’ve managed to move everyone else from that first show around a little bit and make it work as well as possible. “It was stressful trying to get the series back on track but I was really pleased that we were able to get together a series that is quite entertaining.” Watson admitted the timing of the lockdown had been terrible but acknowledged its necessity.

“To get told the day before was devastating after putting months of work into it,” he said. “At least [the snap lockdown] prevented us plunging into a longer lockdown, which would

have been crippling. We’ve got a long road ahead of us in the industry.” Watson hoped the Geelong Jazz Soirées, a combined concert and livestream series, would

reveal some “hidden-secrets” of local jazz to Geelong and the world. “It’s got a big focus on Geelong people that might have been struggling through COVID, but have great promise,” he said. “Hopefully people find something new and interesting that they want to continue to support.” Watson is no stranger to international exposure, having represented Australia at the 25th Young Composers Meeting in the Netherlands in February, 2019. The annual event features the world’s most promising jazz and classical composers, and was the latest milestone in Watson’s musical journey, which he began by learning piano at age five. Watson’s latest live music project, the soirees, feature Colac vocalist Michelle Benjamin. Belmont and Bellarine bassists Rob Gador and Zac Barter and Grovedale saxophonist Michael Tinta will also join the series. Bass veterans Sean Loughran (Geelong) and Evan Jones (Aireys Inlet), and Melbourne saxophonist and 2019 Young Australian Jazz Artist of the Year nominee Flora Carbo round out the list of talented musicians. The series still has tickets available for the next two concerts, with the final show sold out. Details: callumwatson.com.au/geelongjazz Luke Voogt 17 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 26 February, 2021

Three enterprising experts in their field got together 15 years ago, opening the first of three side-by-side vehicle workshops in Geelong West, each catering to its specific European or British models. The newest workshop operates under the banner of Geelong West Automotive. This one specialises in Volvo, Peugeot, Renault, Citroen and Skoda. The German Automotive workshop is the Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Volkswagen specialist. And the other, Hunter Cuthill, is all about Landrover, BMW and Mini Cooper. Current owners Adam Hunter, Ben Buckle, Mark Goodear and Adam Dres bring a combination of nearly 100 years’ experience working on all the major Euro brands – the sort of expertise highly valued by the drivers of out-of-the-ordinary vehicles. All manner of mechanical, auto electrical and tyre replacement work is carried out by the high-tech workshops. Dealer-level diagnostic, repair and maintenance work are also on board, as is log book servicing.

Ben says that the crews are well-equipped to look after just about everything needed to keep a car in tip-top shape, right from driving it new off the lot through to its senior years. “Not only do we have the world’s leading independent diagnostic software, but also all our technicians have received specific training on each brand,” explains Ben. “And to top it off, we’re still cheaper when compared to capped price servicing from dealers.” Loan cars are available for a small fee, and customers can book a service online.

MOTOR

Heading in the right direction

By Alistair Kennedy, Marque Motoring Jeep Compass has been on sale on-and-off in Australia since 2007 when the iconic American company finally realised that 4WD lookalikes, then being called SUVs, were becoming increasing popular and often being bought in place of conventional passenger cars. Shortly after its launch, Compass was joined by a second compact Jeep SUV called Patriot. Its more rugged looks proved more appealing than the softer Compass which quietly slipped from the Australian import list at the end of 2009. Compass returned in 2012 and now has the compact Jeep SUV field to itself following the withdrawal of Patriot in late 2017 when the current, third-generation version was launched. The latest update, in January 2020, saw a couple of name changes with the previous entry-level Sport now called Night Eagle and the higher-spec Longitude now S-Limited. The four-model range is completed with the Limited and Trailhawk variants.

Engines / tranmissions Night Eagle, Limited and S-Limited are powered by 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol with outputs of 129 kW and 229 Nm. Trailhawk uses a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel with slightly less power (125 kW) but significantly more (350 Nm) of torque. Night Eagle is front-wheel drive with a six-speed automatic transmission while the other three variants are driven by all four wheels with nine-speed auto. Jeep, in line with its more serious off-road credential, tags the Trailhawk as a 4x4 rather than AWD. Off-road credentials with Trailhawk include raised ride height and steeper approach, ramp-over and departure angles. Traction in Trailhawk is through the Jeep Active Drive Low 4WD system, with Rock mode added to its Selec-Terrain control.

Styling With so many of its competitors going for sweeping lines and angles it is refreshing to see that, in true Jeep fashion, Compass sticks closer to the utility part of the SUV name. A non-negotiable feature of all Jeep designs is the seven-slot grille. The much smaller version in Compass works really well with the wide

AT A GLANCE MODEL RANGE Compass Night Eagle 2.4-litre petrol FWD: $36,950 Compass Limited 2.4-litre petrol AWD: $42,950 Compass S-Limited 2.4-litre petrol AWD: $45,950 Compass Trailhawk 2.0-litre turbo-diesel 4WD: $49,450

stance of this latest version. In profile, Compass styling looks very much like a smaller version of its larger Cherokee and Grand Cherokee siblings. The Night Eagle which we tested comes standard with an attractive black painted roof and black 18-inch alloy wheels as well as an optional ($1950) dual-pane panoramic sunroof.

Interior There’s a feeling of quality inside the Compass that wasn’t always there. The cabin feels airy and light too which is often difficult to accomplish in a SUV of this size. Front headroom is good despite the optional sunroof in our test car and there’s space in the back to seat a couple of relatively tall adults. There are air vents and USB ports in the rear. Storage space is pretty good. There’s no flat area between the front seats although there is a convenient phone-size alcove at the bottom of the dashboard. There’s also a useful storage box under the front passenger seat which can be accessed by tumbling the base of the seat forward. Perfect for keeping prying outside eyes away from secure items. The 438-litre is one of the biggest in the class and is well shaped with space for a couple of decent-sized suitcases.

Additional features across the range now include autonomous emergency warning and braking, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic detection, reversing camera, tyre pressure monitoring, trailer sway control, rear parking sensors, hill hold control and two Isofix child seat mountings. The Limited and S-Limited variants add all-wheel drive, front and rear parking sensors, parallel and perpendicular park assist, automatic high beam, adaptive cruise control and disconnecting rear axle. The off-road focused Trailhawk uses an enhanced 4x4 system, off-road suspension, hill descent control, tow hooks and underbody skid plates. It also gets a full-size spare wheel; the other variants have space savers.

Infotainment All models use the Jeep Uconnect system displayed on an 8.4-inch touchscreen monitor with satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard in all models. Apart from the usual phone and audio features Bluetooth provides integrated voice control commands. Compass Night Eagle gets a six-speaker audio system, the higher spec models step up to a premium BeatsAudio nine-speaker package that includes a subwoofer.

Safety Jeep Compass gets the now-expected five-start ANCAP rating starting with seven airbags, including one for the driver’s knees, enhanced ABS brakes and stability program.

Driving Getting into and out of Compass isn’t difficult and, unlike some of its small SUV rivals in this small SUV market the front seats are large,

comfortable and with low but supportive bolsters. They proved ideal for a couple of relaxing longish trips that we made. Although there is keyless entry, start-up is through the rare nowadays key-in-ignition method, something that we actually still prefer. There’s excellent visibility in all directions, helped rearwards by a lower headrest in the centre seat. Although nothing exciting, the 2.4-litre petrol engine is more than adequate around town and for motorway cruising. Out on the rural terrain it needed plenty of revs to climb steepish hills and any fast overtaking needed a fair but of preparation. There’s a nice balance between handling and ride comfort and it settled quickly after hitting the occasional pothole. Steering is predictable and responsive. Factory-tested fuel consumption is listed at 7.9 litres per 100 kilometres. We averaged 9.4 L/100 km during our test.

Summing up Jeep Compass is a small SUV with big promise. More than just a far cry from the vehicle it is replacing, its all-round performance and much improved interior makes for a classy act. In an important step forward for those potential buyers concerned about Jeep reliability the company now provides a five-year standard warranty although, disappointingly, the warranty distance remains at 100,000 km warranty. 25 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 26 February, 2021

SPORT

Round serves up thrillers as teams vie for top spots Geelong Lawn Green has extended its narrow lead against second-placed Wandana Heights Blue in the top local boys’ division with a thrilling one-game win at the weekend. The teams lined up on grass at Geelong Lawn Tennis Club, Belmont, starting with doubles for the top two showdown. After the first two matches it was one set all going into the singles. Geelong Lawn pulled ahead, winning the first two matches, before Wandana Heights came back to win the last two. But Geelong Lawn was victorious by the smallest of margins – a single game. “It was high-quality tennis all round with big serves dominating some games, great touch at the net and excellent ground strokes on display throughout,” Tennis Geelong president Donna Schoenmaekers said. In the seniors, Highton looks like taking out the Section 1 men’s minor premiership with a strong five-sets-to-one win over Newcomb. Grovedale inched to within a point of Highton with a six-zero win over Surf Coast. Grovedale face third-placed Barwon Heads in the final week of home and away matches and, with Highton facing bottom-placed Ocean Grove, the ladder seems set. In the Section 1 mixed, second-placed Grovedale Gold took it to ladder-leader Waurn Ponds but went down four sets to two. Despite losing, Gold’s two sets will help the team’s chances of earning a top two spot and

the resulting double chance in the finals, after Grovedale Yellow defeated St Albans five sets to one. Yellow will need to win at least five sets next weekend for a chance to move into second place. In the top girls’ division, Highton pulled off a close win over Centre Court to move one spot up the ladder to third. Both sides won three sets but Highton

finished two games ahead to trade ladder positions with Centre Court. The match began with doubles, with both teams picking up a set each. Matilda Puckett and Amelia Batty won their doubles for Highton, while Sophia Pattison and Jordan Rowan won theirs for Centre Court. Highton led by a game heading into the singles. All four singles sets more or less began at the same time.

Puckett scored a comfortable win for Highton over Leulla Instrell from Centre Court. Julia Pehar and Pattison both won for Centre Court over Amelia Batty and Annabelle Batty. It came down to the fourth singles match between Highton’s Ava Wharton and Rowan. In what was easily the longest and tightest set of the day, Wharton finished stronger, winning in a tie break and securing Highton the overall win by two games.

Cats ready for Saints challenge By Luke Voogt A four-wicket bag by paceman Dom McGlinchey and another solid innings from captain Eamonn Vines helped Geelong knock Dandenong out of the top four on Saturday. The Cats cruised to a seven-wicket victory at home after winning the toss and sending the Panthers in to bat. Dandenong started disastrously with McGlinchey dismissing opener Tom Donnell for a golden duck with an outside edge to slip off the first ball of the innings. McGlinchey tore through the top order bowling Cameron Forsyth, who left an absolute ripper that cannoned into off peg. Four overs later, McGlinchey also bowled Edward Newman to put Dandenong in trouble at 3/18. The Panthers only managed 21 more before Brody Couch ran out James Nanopoulos with a direct hit for 13. Left arm spinner and all-rounder Hayden Butterworth claimed the next three, beginning with Aaron Fernando. Fernando edged Butterworth on 9 with Tom O’Connell lunging to his right for a sharp catch. Comrey Edgeworth survived 41 balls for 19 combining for a 58-run partnership with remaining opener Brett Forsyth, until Butterworth bowled him with the score at 6/118. Former Sri Lankan ODI player Suraj Randiv holed out off Butterworth before Brody Couch finally dismissed Brett Forsyth for 75 (8/145). Dandenong managed 11 more setting Geelong just 156 to chase, with Couch and McGlinchey taking the final two wickets. After being promoted up the order, Tom Jackson was caught off a cut shot for 22 with the Cats at 59. Josh McDonald hit 34 off 27 before holing out off Randiv with Geelong at 104. Vines led by example again with the bat, scoring 65 off 98 before Randiv trapped him LBW with the Cats on 130. Gus Boyd hit the winning four with a back-foot cover drive, remaining not out on 21 alongside Josh Larkin on 15 not out.

has been keen to improve this season. The Cats face another big challenge tomorrow in St Kilda, which recorded a six-wicket win against Footscray. The game will be a clash of arguably the best batting and bowling line-ups in the competition. Geelong leads the league in runs for, while St Kilda’s well-rounded attack has the lowest runs against. In GCA division one, Leopold’s Benjamin Horne led the wicket tally with 5/46 but his side fell short against East Belmont. Former Victorian player Clinton Peake scored 102 not out off 80 but his brilliant individual effort was not enough to get South Barwon the win over against Murgheboluc. Highton, Newtown-Chilwell and Lara also picked up wins. Despite losing to Newtown-Chilwell, North Geelong remains on top of the ladder, followed by Lara, East Belmont and South Barwon. In GCA division two, Hayden Illingworth’s 105 not and Chad Van Estrop’s division-best figures of 5/13 helped St Peters beat Modewarre by 119. Bell Post Hill, Marshall and Geelong City also won. Bell Post Hill leads the ladder followed by Marshall, Geelong City and Torquay. In GCA division three, Brent Donaldson scored 129 to help Lethbridge post 2/315 and demolish Bannockburn by 176 runs. Thomson, Geelong West, St Albans Breakwater and Corio also picked up wins. Lethbridge leads the ladder, followed by Geelong West, Corio and St Albans Breakwater.

Women make history By Luke Voogt Geelong’s top female cricket side has made history by winning its first game in a local men’s competition. Geelong Cricket Club women’s first XI beat Aireys Inlet Surf Coast’s thirds by 18 runs in the One Day South retire 50s competition on Saturday. “We were really excited,” Geelong women’s cricket director and player Sarah Pike said. “We went in with a really strong game plan and an absolute intention to win.” The win advances the side’s chances of debuting in Premier Cricket Victoria’s women’s league next season. “We’re definitely ready to face some tougher women’s competition,” Pike said. “Initially, it was never about winning for us this season. But our time in the men’s comp has accelerated our improvement so much.” Previously, the team had played in the Women’s Community Cricket Competition against clubs in Melbourne. But with last year’s COVID-19 restrictions limiting travel, the club joined GCA’s retire 100s competition, before being demoted to the retire 50s. “We struggled with the adjustment of playing against women to playing against men,” Pike said. “The challenge is the pure strength of the men’s batting. “They hit the ball so much harder, so our bowlers really have to be on song with line and length.

“If we don’t we get punished – if we bowl short we’ll get hit for six. “We can’t just have a bad day in the field, we’ve got to go out every day switched on or else they’ll hit boundaries. “We’re against some players that have been playing two or three times longer than some of our girls have been alive.” A turning point came in their previous game against Aireys Inlet, where they lost by 73 runs chasing 218 despite having eight wickets in hand. “There have been some moments when we’ve

thought, ‘what are we doing?’” Pike said. “We had that moment where we realised we didn’t have to just bat the 40 overs. “We’ve improved our batting, now let’s start pushing for these runs and giving these guys a run for their money. “Once we were getting through the overs it was like, ‘we need to consistently get more than 100’. Then the goal became to consistently get more than 150.” Renee Cox and Paris Bowdler both made 50* (retired) to help the Cats post 5/178. Aireys Inlet captain Paul Rossiter made 40, but the tight bowling of Jazz Fisher (1/13), Marni Luhrs (3/25) and Jasmine Thomas (3/29) left the Stingrays needing about 10 an over at the death. Mick Kelly (24* off 27), and some incredible cross-bat slogging from former club man of the year Tim Eden (22* off 17), almost ruined the women’s fairytale win. “I didn’t get excited until the last three balls, when we knew it was mathematically impossible,” Pike said. Rossiter praised the women on their “huge improvement” over the season. “Their fielding is always good and their batting is smart and disciplined,” he said. “They deserved the win, bowled tight – excellent line and length – and their top three or four batters are super solid. “They’ll worry a few sides next season; after their experience [in the men’s competition] they will only get better.”

Cats take on Tigers in Indigenous round The Cats will hope for a repeat of last season’s result against Richmond in tonight’s match kicking off the AFLW’s Indigenous round. Last year a six-goal second quarter helped Geelong record its first win of the season against a then win-less Richmond. The Cats are again seeking their first win of the season in the rematch, as are Richmond. Cats forward and Larrakia woman Steph Williams, originally from Darwin, spoke of her excitement ahead of pulling on the club’s first AFLW Indigenous guernsey. “It’s going to be amazing,” Williams said this week. “It’s always a special feeling putting on the hoops when we run out as a team, and it’s going to be even more empowering wearing the Indigenous jumper.” The guernsey is the work of Corrina Eccles, and pays tribute to the story of Djilang, the Wadawurrung word for Geelong. “I wanted [to] take people back on a journey to what the country was like prior to how we see the built environment today,” Eccles said. “In the design I have the Kardiniyoo, the sunrise, taking place and the two teams coming together to play what we call Marngrook. “The Barwon River is a place that our eels would travel down. The eels then meet on our coast, our saltwater country. “Then we have our mountain country, our big hills and Bunjil. Bunjil watches over this country he created, he will often fly over the stadium, watching over country and the river.” Bunjil the eagle commemorates the recent loss of two lives among the Aboriginal community. Geelong Football Club is also mourning the death of VFL team manager Vic Fuller, who collapsed during training on Monday, aged 79. “Vic was a constant at the club for close to 50 years,” the club said in a statement conveying its condolences to his family. “Vic’s presence at the club was larger than life. He touched so many through his time at the club. Everyone that encountered him will have a story to tell from knowing Vic.” The Cat’s men will take on Collingwood in a practice match commencing at 11am today.

Outer harbour holding plenty of snapper ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos The fishing this past week has been very productive for anglers fishing right along the region, with everyone keen to wet a line after the short circuit-breaker lockdown. Inside the bay has still been fishing quite well for a whole host of species including pinkie snapper, King George whiting and calamari. Pinkie snapper have been right through the outer harbour and on both sides of the channel producing plenty of fish. Casting soft plastics has been very effective in landing large hauls of fish, with some models getting over 4kg in size. Bait fishing should account for a few fish too but soft plastics just seems to be the go at the moment. Calamari are still showing up in good numbers in close to Clifton Springs and around the boat ramp. At times it can be quite the mission to find where they are holding but when you find them you should just keep plucking them from the pack. Whiting still remain a popular target species around Clifton Springs. Like the squid, there is a bit of searching at times but when you do find them, the fishing can be red hot. Around the corner towards St Leonards has been a little more consistent with the whiting bite, with a bit less moving required to locate where they are holding. The Rip has really fired up this week with kingfish reports coming in crazy! Jigging has been the most popular technique with jigs weighing between 150 – 250 grams being ideal. As for colour, they don’t seem to be super fussy but having a variety of colours and weights does pay. Dropping live baits down has been working very well too and live squid is definitely the go, just crank it off the bottom a bit to keep it away from the wrasse and stop getting snagged. The tuna off Ocean Grove are showing no sign of slowing down with plenty of good reports still coming through. Trolling small skirted lures has been working very well for a large percentage of boats. The back of the foul grounds towards Torquay in 50m of water has been holding tonnes of fish but the trick is just to get them to bite. Casting surface lures into the school during the day has been working very well, with poppers seeming to be very effective.
