Design Week in fashion South Geelong couple and Mexican expats Fernanda Covarrubias and Noe Mondragon will embark on a Mixed Voyage beginning today for Design Week. Mixed Voyage is the first joint exhibition for the couple from Guadalajara in 12 years together, combining their ‘upcycled’ fashion and street art talents. “I’ve always been a big fan of Noe’s work,” Fernanda said. “We’re pretty excited about it – I’ve been saying for a long time that we should do a collaboration. When we saw this opportunity for Design Week we thought, ‘yes, this is the time for us!’” Eco-fashion designer Fernanda, who uses recycled and excess fabrics, and architect and street artist of 20 years Noe will open their exhibition at Sally Walker Gallery, Deakin University Waterfront Campus, at 10am today. The exhibition runs 10am to 4pm weekdays and is one of many local activities occurring as part of Geelong Design Week ending March 28. Details: geelongcityofdesign.com.au/ geelong-design-week

Domestic violence spike By Luke Voogt Domestic violence has spiked in Geelong with a 14.2 per cent increase in family incidents and family violence order breaches – up by almost a third in a year. Breaches of family violence orders increased 31.7 per cent from 1992 offences in 2019 to 2555 in 2020, according to Crime Statistics Agency Victoria data released yesterday. Family incidents rose from 3751 to 4283, an increase of 11.7 per cent per 100,000 people, a measure which takes population growth into account. Geelong Inspector Paul Edebone attributed the rise in part to victims’ increased willingness

to report incidents and people staying at home longer due to COVID-19. “The victims were able to have confidence that police will attend and do something,” he said. “From a police perspective, our priority is to make sure aggrieved victims are looked after and perpetrators are brought before the courts in a timely manner.” Geelong police also targetted repeat family violence offenders, Inspector Edebone said. “It’s a community and police expectation that we all work together to get these offenders before the courts.” The percentage of local family incidents involving physical injury was decreasing due to police intervention, according to Inspector

Edebone. Overall breaches of orders, including bail, were up 22.7 per cent (20 per cent per 100,000 people) from 2656 to 3259. Drug dealing and trafficking increased 29.1 per cent (26 per cent per 100,000), and possession and use were up 24.5 per cent (21.6 per cent per 100,000). “We’ve been running quite a few operations in Geelong targeting the high-end dealers and those stats are a reflection of that,” Inspector Edebone said. “We’ve been quite effective in disrupting the Geelong drug trade in the past six to 12 months.” This included two firearms compliance operations, which helped reduce local gun

violence by almost half since last October, Inspector Edebone said. Burglary was down 13 per cent (14.9 per cent per 100,000) and theft 5.5 per cent (7.6 per cent per 100,000). Overall crime increased by six per cent in Geelong from 21,711 offences reported in 2019 to 23,008 in 2020. But minus 794 local COVID-19-related offences, the increase was 2.3 per cent. The majority of local COVID-19 offences occurred last April (100), August (281) and September (116). According to Inspector Edebone, overall Geelong crime had decreased in the past three months.

Anzac dawn services cancelled By Luke Voogt Organisers have cancelled the region’s largest Anzac Day dawn service due to costs and the COVID-19 pandemic. Torquay RSL president Bob Tyler announced the cancellation on Monday. “Although some restrictions have been relaxed, it’s too late to organise the 2021 Anzac Day march and dawn service at Point Danger,” he said. “Our dawn service costs thousands of dollars to stage, and it’s too late to seek sponsorships and donations, which are essential for the success of the commemoration.

“For the Torquay RSL to put on the commemorative Anzac service at Point Danger, planning should have commenced in August last year. “In November we were limited to ten people as we assembled for the Remembrance Day ceremony. This was difficult to monitor.” The usual attendance for the Point Danger dawn service ranges from 12,000 to 15,000 people, comprising of veterans, community groups and the public. “With the work done by government and the community, we can now start to return to some order of post-COVID normality, but

unfortunately large gatherings at Point Danger are still out of the question,” Mr Tyler said. “Limited to veterans only, the Torquay RSL will hold a shortened ceremony at the RSL memorial garden. “The bowls club will be open from 7.30am on Anzac Day for breakfast and later two-up.” Mr Tyler urged locals to hold silent vigils in their driveways, like Anzac Day last year. But Geelong’s Anzac Day march is set to return, according to Geelong RSL president Andrew Hanns. “We’re planning on having the march,” he said. “In saying that, it’s very difficult to plan.”

Mr Hanns was unable to confirm whether or not crowds would be permitted to watch. “At this stage I’m hopeful,” he said. “We want there to be crowds but we’ll have to work further with City of Greater Geelong.” Geelong RSL has cancelled the city’s two services, including the regular service at Johnstone Park at the end of the march. Event officials have indicated the RSL would have to “barricade” the service for it to go ahead, which would be logistically and financially impossible for RSL, Mr Hanns said. “We’re hoping things will change as we get closer to Anzac Day,” he said.

Geelong joins global climate strike

Let’s go fly a kite for kids’ foundation Geelong’s Kids Plus Foundation is encouraging the young and young-at-heart to fill the sky with colour in its first-ever kite festival at Rippleside Park on Sunday. “We are super excited to announce the first-ever Kids+Kites Festival,” said the foundation’s Shelley Wood. “The Kids+Kites Festival is our colourful family event designed to bring people of all abilities together and celebrate inclusiveness and diversity for a fun day of kite flying.” Kids Plus speech pathologist Jenna O’Brien and participants George Devine, Malu Hunt, Ruby Webb and Aveen Kaur, pictured, gave

some of the brightly-coloured kites a test flight at the foundation’s headquarters in Waurn Ponds on Wednesday. The festival runs from 11am to 2pm on Sunday featuring kite-making workshops by Kites 4 Kids and demonstrations by world champion flyer Jo Baker. “Kids+Kites Festival is designed to promote a sense of belonging, and social and community connection, improved mental and physical health, confidence in participating in community, family cohesion and is for people of all ages and abilities,” Ms Wood said. Kids Plus Foundation is a not-for-profit group

founded in Geelong in 2003. The foundation provides specialist physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, music therapy and social work services to babies, children and young adults with neurological physical disabilities. “Our focus is to work in partnership with families to understand their individual needs, values and abilities,” Ms Wood said. The festival will raise funds for Kids Plus Foundation through the sale of kites, which can be purchased at kidspluskitesfestival.com.au.

Environmentalists are set to gather in Johnstone Park this evening as part of the Fridays for Future global climate change strike. “We are part of the global fight to contain the worst scenario for the planet’s climate,” said Caroline Danaher, who will speak at the event. “The Australian government proposes a gas-led recovery from COVID-19, while pledging zero emissions by 2050. “These are empty promises without substance to give the appearance of action. These pronouncements are full of loopholes, creative accounting and unscientific assumptions. “The lack of concrete action since the Paris Agreement five years ago … has forced all people and especially the youth to continue to demand immediate and ambitious action from all leaders if we are to keep any sort of liveable world.” Also speaking at the event will be Centre for Climate Safety campaign manager Anthony Gleeson and young climate change activist Neo Williams. “Speakers will inform the public about the important local issue surrounding the proposal of a massive gas terminal in Corio Bay to expand the use of fossil fuels,” Ms Danaher said. Musicians Genevieve Newton, Tina Thorburn and Andrew and Britt Vandenburgh, and Geelong Climate Choir will perform at the event, which runs from 5pm to 7pm. Luke Voogt

Giving the land back

Construction supplier Boral is set to transfer land the company owns in Waurn Ponds back to its traditional owners, the Wadawurrung people, today. “It’s exceedingly rare that Australian corporates – especially publicly-listed companies – transfer land back to the traditional owners but this is exactly what we will be doing,” a company spokesperson said earlier this week. The company’s top executives will fly in from Sydney for the ceremony.

More than a dozen locals lost themselves in “ephemeral” art to cope with “eco-anxiety” from climate change and escape everyday stress at Paraparap’s Droll Karr Buddhist Centre last Sunday. Artist of 25 years Caroline Hawkins, who trained in London’s Ravensbourne Art College, led the participants in creating art from natural fibres, seeds and plants. “I was using art in a meditational capacity,” she explained. Droll Karr’s Linda Diggins led mediation sessions, while psychologists spoke on methods to cope with “eco-anxiety” and how to talk to children worried about the future of their planet.

“We were absolutely thrilled, it went really well,” Caroline said. “I’m really glad that we’ve brought this topic out into the realm of public discussion.” She took up ephemeral art a few years ago, but has long woven baskets from natural materials. “It’s very satisfying in that I feel a part of my environment as I search for suitable weaving plants,” she said. Caroline received a $5000 grant from the Surf Coast Shire’s Arts Development Seed Fund to put on the event, along with filming and photographing it. The film, photos and some of the artwork will go on display in an exhibition beginning May 13. Details: carolinehawkins.com.au

Upskilled for conservation work A new conservation partnership has created 12 temporary Geelong jobs as part of the Working for Victoria initiative. Conservation Volunteers Australia (CVA) hired and “upskilled” the 12 new employees in partnership with Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CCMA). CVA is based out of Geelong and focuses on protecting threatened species, biodiversity, river health, and improving local coastal environments. About half the work was done in partnership with local Landcare networks, and the crews played an important role in filling COVID-19-induced gaps in work normally completed by volunteers. Under the partnership, $4000 went towards

training each employee, including various tickets and licenses such as chainsaw operation, chemical operations, traffic management, defensive driving and first aid. Five crew members have gone on to seek employment in the environmental sector from agencies such as Parks Victoria, CVA, CCMA and Gully Tree Fernery. “We are proud of our partnership with CVA and delighted with the achievements made by all Working for Victoria crew members,” CCMA chief executive John Riddiford said. “But most particularly, we are proud to have been able to provide the opportunity for people who lost their incomes and livelihood to be actively employed in a period of crisis”. CVA’s Simon Schwartz was “thrilled” to

Trainer to triple Geelong stables By Luke Voogt Melbourne Cup-winning trainer Danny O’Brien will nearly triple his Geelong Racecourse stable spaces with a $1.32 million boost from state government and Geelong Racing Club. “It’s a really good stepping stone,” Danny O’Brien Racing general manager Matt Harrington told the Independent. “This development is really going to allow us to expand our business in the area. And it gives us the opportunity to aim at some of the bigger races from our Geelong base.”

Racing Minister Martin Pakula on Tuesday announced $660,000 for the project, with Geelong Racing Club matching the amount. “This is a significant investment in the future of Geelong as a training centre and a provider of jobs in training and supply chain businesses,” he said. “That these new stables have already been secured is a major vote of confidence in the Geelong racing industry and the vision of the Geelong Racing Club.” The amount will fund two new barns for 40 horses at Geelong Racecourse, complete with wash bays, tie-up stalls, a horse walker and solar power.

O’Brien established a base in Geelong last May with about two dozen spaces at the racecourse, with the new barns to be established next to the existing facility. He also trains and rotates horses through bases at Thirteenth Beach and Flemington. Local firm Plan Group will construct the stables, creating about 20 jobs during construction, which government expects to be completed later this year. The ongoing training operation will support up to 20 jobs and provide a significant boost to the local racing industry, according to government. “This investment is a real win-win for the

club, securing a steady income stream and boosting our profile,” Geelong Racing Club president Peter Murrihy said. “We’re grateful for the Victorian government’s support.” Since 2014, state government has approved more than $3.5 million to support 19 infrastructure projects and 14 events at Geelong Racecourse. This includes a recent investment supporting a $145,000 upgrade of 60 existing on-course stables and track’s float carpark. Geelong’s racing industry generates more than $95 million for the Victorian economy each year and helps sustain more than 780 fulltime-equivalent jobs, according to government.

Pizza Bar owner Luke Mirabile prepares to give increased outdoor dining a go. (Louisa Jones) 231722_02

New street dining areas launched Geelong diners will be able to enjoy three new al fresco dining areas in Pakington, Union and Yarra streets, beginning next week. Pizza Bar owner Luke Mirabile admitted to “mixed feelings” on the Pakington Street plans. “We’re going to give it a go,” he said. “I think it’s a little bit late coming into to winter – summer would have been fantastic. “It’s freezing during winter on Pako – it’s a bit of wind tunnel. We might have to spend some money and get some heaters out there.” The project involves “repurposing” car parks at eight sites along Pakington Street, using planter boxes to separate them from bike lanes.

“Parking’s a massive issue on Pako,” Mr Mirabile said. Some eateries relying predominantly on takeaway had opted out of the project for this reason, he added. “But I’ve seen it work really well … up in Daylesford. “It can’t hurt to have a few extra seats out there. It will be a great space for [customers] to wait outside too.” Council announced the three-month initiative after receiving a $300,000 share of $5 million in state government funding for 22 councils.

The project follows a trial of a similar area in Union Street last November and an ongoing trial in Ocean Grove. “The creation of outdoor dining areas in Union and Yarra streets will help traders attract and retain a growing number of workers and visitors to the CBD,” Geelong mayor Asher said. “While the addition of eight new al fresco sections on Pako will enhance the street’s atmosphere and create more reasons for people to eat, drink, shop and socialise.” The trial will run until at least June 22.

One of the largest street light upgrade programs in Victoria has begun in Geelong. Council and energy company Powercor are replacing the first of about 15,000 residential street lights with light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires. The LED luminaires, including new smart photoelectric cells, are about 85 per cent more energy efficient than the existing mercury vapour lights. The luminaries will provide higher-quality and better-directed lighting, with a greater spread across and along the street, according to council The inclusion of smart control technology will enable remote adjustment of the lighting output and deliver improvements to road safety, public amenity and asset management. The rollout is the first stage of an overall project that will convert all of greater Geelong’s 25,000-plus street lights to LED. Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher praised the project, stating that reducing carbon emissions was a key feature of council’s Sustainability Framework Action Plan 2020-2022. “The municipality-wide upgrade will have significant impacts for our community, our environment and the economy,” Cr Asher said. “The huge reduction in energy consumption will see us save more than 8000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year. “This will allow us to redirect about $2 million annually, from the lower energy and maintenance costs, into other public services.” About 98 per cent of the material of the old lights – glass, mercury and aluminium – will be recycled, according to council.

for medical staff, administration and volunteers needed to operate the expanded hospice services in the new facility will commence in the coming months. “The new facility will provide a significant boost to local hospice services and access to more respite care in the community. It will also deliver employment opportunities within the trade and healthcare sectors.” The federal and state governments each contributed $5 million to the project. “We have undertaken a significant amount of work to get to this point, supported by generous individuals and businesses in the

Geelong community,” Ms Taylor said. “We are overwhelmed and very grateful for $7 million of philanthropic support from the community which has recognised the need for this service.” With construction under way, Anam Cara House Geelong is now planning for the expansion of services in time for completion. “We are delighted to have recently signed a research and teaching agreement with Deakin University, which will result in an ongoing hands-on teaching partnership,” Ms Taylor said.

Grimley drops for cops Local politician Stuart Grimley hurtled through the air at speeds of up to 200km/h on Monday in a bid to raise funds to battle post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in police. The Member for Western Victoria and state leader of Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party tandem skydived as part of ‘Drop-a-Cop’. “Being a former police officer myself, I know all too well of the traumatic incidents that members see each day,” the Torquay-based MP said. “It’s the least I can do to bring awareness and support for police officers who are suffering

from psychological injuries.” The skydive was the third time lucky for Mr Grimley, after his previous two attempts were cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions and on-plane due to poor weather. He took the plunge for Drop-a-Cop, part of Victoria Police’s campaign to raise funds to support current and former officers suffering from PTSD and other psychological injuries. “It’s important that events like Drop-a-Cop not only help those that suffer from psychological injuries, but reduce the stigma around it,” he said.

“It’s vitally important that police members seek treatment when they have suffered a psychological injury, like they would if they were physically injured on the job.” Others taking part in the event included Deputy Commissioner Rick Nugent, Victoria Police Association secretary Wayne Gatt, Victoria Police Legacy chief executive Lex De Man, Blue Ribbon Foundation board member Superintendent Pat Boyle and opposition police spokesman David Southwick.

New career ‘empowering’ By Luke Voogt Torquay single mum and Yorta Yorta woman Corina Muir is taking charge of her destiny by running her own children’s clothing label. “As an Aboriginal woman, I have never felt more empowered in the choices that I make than in running my own business,” she said. “We make 100 per cent of decisions based on what the impacts are. “We ask ‘how is this impacting our environment and people?’ We want to make a positive impact rather than a negative. “Every collection we collaborate with a different female Aboriginal artist. We showcase a story of where they come from with their artwork.” Corina moved from Brunswick to Torquay in February 2020, just before COVID-19 hit, with her daughter Sapphire. “I was just waiting for her to get a bit older and a bit more independent so we could move down without it being too far from family,” she said. Before Sapphire’s birth four years ago, Corina had worked in family violence and child protection. But despite having a caring and understanding employer, she struggled to return to the structure of office work. “I went back to full-time work with [Sapphire] but I really struggled with the balance,” she said. “We kind of set up our society in that nine-to-five [model]. That makes it really hard for single parents and women in general.

NEWS GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

MY GEELONG In the fledgling community of Armstrong Creek, dedicated youngsters are lacing up their boots to play for a brand new footy club. Armstrong Creek Sharks treasurer Chad Dunscombe speaks to Luke Voogt about getting the club off the ground. Tell us about you… I’m a pool and spa technician, 40-years-old and I live in Armstrong Creek with my partner Vanessa and two kids Noah and Abby. Noah’s seven and plays for the Armstrong Creek Sharks, and Abby’s five and hopefully starting netball soon. I grew up in Melbourne and later Horsham – I played a lot country football until I was 18. I’ve mostly lived in Melbourne but our family bought Rose Garden Motel in Belmont about a decade ago and we ran it for three years. My mum and stepdad have lived in Torquay for the past 15 years. We bought a house in Armstrong Creek just on four years ago. Noah was about to start school and to me down here had a lot more to offer for our kids. I like surfing, camping and travelling overseas.

Our first year was 2019. We had under 9s and 10s. This year we’re hoping to have teams in under 9s, 10s, 11s and 13s. It just comes down to numbers.

How did Armstrong Creek Sharks Football and Netball Club begin? I’ve always loved being involved in community activities and I had leg-realignment surgery a few years ago – due to a lot of sporting injuries. Once I started getting back on track, Noah was going to Auskick, and that’s where I met the other club founders. We started talking about the idea of creating a football club and meeting in local coffee shops. There was lot of paperwork and insurance, and we had to find people to create a logo. After we came up with the idea of the shark, we held a challenge at Armstrong Creek School – and that eventually became the basis for our guernsey and logo.

How are you coping with COVID-19? It’s been hard on everyone. We’re kind of lucky being in Geelong that we didn’t get locked down like in Melbourne. For us working in pools it was still quite busy, we didn’t stop during the entire pandemic. I think COVID-19 had a big effect on my kids – they’re very active. We didn’t get to play during 2020 due to restrictions but we did get down to the ground for a couple of activities. After a terrible year last year it’s something that kids need – to get back to their friends and sport. We had about 40 at an open training session … the buzz was amazing!

What’s your role now? I’m kind of acting president – I may take over officially – but at the moment I’m just acting president and treasurer. Unfortunately our president and secretary moved to Canberra, and our vice president wasn’t able to commit. My main focus is to get the kids out on the field. We’re in a new community and we’re very lucky to have great facilities so let’s make the most of them! What do you like to do locally? I like day trips down to the beaches, golfing, surfing, exploring Geelong and attending local events like Nightjar.

Thousands rally across Geelong By Luke Voogt More than 1200 people protested in Geelong and Torquay on Monday, joining tens of thousands in a nationwide Women’s March 4 Justice. At least 1000 people marched through central Geelong from Trades Hall beginning at 5pm, protesting multiple allegations of sexual assault that have rocked federal Parliament in recent weeks. “It was huge,” said Sarah Hathway, who spoke during the protest. “I was standing on the back of a ute in Little Malop Street mall and from where I was, the crowd seemed to fill the entire mall. “Besides the high school climate strikes, I don’t think we’ve had a protest that big in Geelong since the marriage equality marches.” Organiser Adele Walsh was “really pleased” with the turnout and vowed that the women’s network at Geelong Trades Hall would do “more in this space” soon. “It was really inspiring to me to see so many angry and passionate women hit the street calling for change and to tell the government that enough is enough,” she said. “We really want to engage with the community in keeping the momentum going – we really hope that this is the start of more action [opposing] violence against women.” Earlier that day, more than 200 people protested in Torquay, with about half spelling out the word ‘justice’ on Cosy Corner beach at 8.15am. “I’ve got a nine-year-old granddaughter, great nieces, nieces and a daughter,” Surf Coast Women’s March 4 Justice co-organiser Laura Connor said. “We want our daughters and granddaughters to be respected, valued and, above all else, safe. “Women in Australia are really angry and I think it’s because nothing that the Prime Minister says or does shows that he is taking 8 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 19 March, 2021

this seriously. “I can’t believe in 2021 our children and grandchildren are growing up in a country where they’d get this response from our Prime Minister. We just feel like he is simply not listening. “This might be a good reminder for him that women make up 52 per cent of the population. “We had a terrific turnout and I think it’s

wonderful to see so many Surf Coast people coming out in solidarity with women and girls across Australia, calling for justice, and an end to sexism, misogyny, patriarchy, corruption, racism and dangerous workplace cultures.” Protesters in both events also took aim at Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s comments about the marches in Parliament that afternoon. “Not far from here, such marches, even

now, are being met with bullets, but not here in this country,“ Mr Morrison told Parliament, referring to deadly protests this week against a military coup in Myanmar. “It was just the most inappropriate thing to say,” Ms Hathway said. Across Australia, thousands joined Women’s March 4 Justice protests including about 10,000 people in Melbourne.

Designing Geelong’s green future Milan’s awe-aspiring Bosco Verticale and Singapore’s breathtaking Supertrees set these cities apart – could Geelong follow them? Luke Voogt meets some of the designers and artists pushing for Geelong to become “one of the great green cities of the world”.

GEORGINA DE BEAUJEU AND MARY-JANE WALKER

(Rebecca Hosking) 231241_02

ilan’s Bosco Verticale, translating to vertical woods in Italian, transformed two residential buildings into a towering 900-tree forest in 2012. Across the world, Singapore’s Supertrees and Gardens by the Bay combine the beauty of nature with modern architecture in one of the world’s most densely populated cities. Newtown evolutionary geneticist and artist Mary-Jane Walker points to these as examples of what Geelong could be, as she believes now is the time to begin following a similar path. “Geelong’s at the perfect stage of its development – it’s the right size and scale,” she told the Independent. “It could be one of the great green cities of the world.” Dr Walker has created The Journey of Extraordinary Encounters to show Geelong reimagined as a “biophilic” city. The digital arts trail, part of Geelong Design Week, includes 49 sites across the city featuring both real-life art and augmented reality experiences of reimagined local landmarks. “You bring it up on your phone and it takes you to all these different sites across Geelong,” Dr Walker said. “You walk down a street and discover birds and trees, and imagine what it could be like. “I had the idea because of COVID-19. Regardless of what stage [of the pandemic] we were at, you could walk past the windows and see an art exhibition.” She is a staunch advocate of biophilic design, which aims to bring nature back into urban environments through both the use of actual plants and specific architectural styles. Multiple studies link biophilic design to lower crime, increased productivity and decreased stress levels, while biophiliclydesigned hospitals can even help people heal faster, according to Dr Walker. “We need to share our urban spaces with other species – plants and animals,” she said. “It’s simply because we evolved in the natural world. “How do we harness this need that we have to connect to nature in a modern urban environment? “There are lots of different design elements that we recognise that make us feel comfortable.” Dr Walker points to the Green Spine, a divisive project to link Geelong Botanic Gardens to Johnstone Park through Malop Street, as “a terrific example” of biophilic design. Natural colours, geometry and the use of natural light can also make offices more enjoyable places to be, according to Dr Walker. She cites Geelong Regional Library’s design as an example. “You can have a perfectly modern city – you don’t have to live in caves,” she said. “You’ve really got to design that inside space to be healthy.” Melbourne landscape architect Georgina de Beaujeu, who is studying a PhD at Deakin University’s waterfront campus, reimagined a part of Moorabool Street for the digital art journey. Ms de Beaujeu won the NSW Public Space Ideas Competition’s street category last November for reimagining of a dull throughway in suburban Sydney. She chose the Farefield street due to its high density and growth, socio-economic disadvantage and lack of green space. “It shouldn’t just be about being wealthy to live in an area that’s beautiful and green, that brings all the health benefits that studies show it does.” She used similar principles in designing her plan to “reclaim” Moorabool Street for parkland stretching between McKillop and Little Myers streets. “I had to think, ‘what are the issues for Geelong?’” she said. “The density is not quite the same as in Fairfield and Sydney.” Her concept also involves “greening” the entirety of Moorabool Street and even introducing trackless trams, currently being

explored in Melbourne’s west, to help people get around. “It’s about acknowledging there is going to be quite significant population growth in Geelong,” she said. “We can’t keep doing things the way that we have. You’re going to have six-storey-plus places in central Geelong. “If everybody is driving a car and parking in the street it’s just not going to be possible.” While she acknowledged local opposition to closing off roads in central Geelong, she promoted the benefits of green spaces. “Everyone has gone to the park with family and sat on the grass under beautiful old trees,” she said. “Or imagine you’re walking through a city with no shade on a 42 degree day, and suddenly you come across an avenue of trees and feel cooler – that relief – I think everyone can relate to that. “You multiply that in a biolphilic city and you could feel like that always. “The importance of nature in helping to connect people with each other and their environment is really important.” Another augmented reality image, by environmental consultant Rachel Cooper, reimagines Geelong’s imposing state offices. “It’s such a striking design,” she said. The building divides locals.

Some laud its ‘brutalist’ architecture characterised by a massive, monolithic and blocky appearance with a rigid geometric style and large-scale use of concrete. Others despise the grey concrete building. Ms Cooper hopes her greener version of the building will impress both its fans and critics. “It was really about how we could reflect the architecture of the building and not take away anything from that, but make it more biophilic,” she said. “It doesn’t adhere strictly to the brutalist architecture – it softens it up a bit. But you can still see those very strong lines. “I’m a fan of using plants to enhance architecture rather than having them look left and overgrown. “You’re using plants but you’re using them in a structured and mindful way.” Like Dr Walker, Ms Cooper believes transforming Geelong into a great green city would not only make residents happier, but would draw people from across the world. “It gives it a name and, certainly in terms of Australian cities, puts it on the map,” she said. “If you had a couple of landmark buildings that made a statement that would certainly set it apart.” Details: theschooloflostarts.com.au/events 9 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 19 March, 2021

YOUR SAY The brick balloon The Australian Snowy 2 hydro scheme plans to use electricity to pump water up hill to get some of that energy back by running the water downhill again. Some Australian mining companies are planning a dry version of Snowy 2 – a huge brick-powered battery using the force of gravity to drive a generator when solar and wind energy are on strike. Each unit of this brick-powered battery would comprise a 30 storey tower enclosing a 35 tonne brick which is hauled up using surplus renewable energy (around noon on any clear windy day) and then released to turn generators when there is no renewable energy being produced (every still night or calm cloudy day). These miners will also have to replace all diesel mining equipment with electric machines, then build enough wind/solar generators to not only run the mine, but also to elevate the giant bricks. The country for miles around will be plastered by solar panels, wind turbines, power lines and roads. They must then build the brick-powered generators. This expensive conglomeration would be lucky to recover 50 per cent of the energy used to create and charge it. Few mines could afford to fund all this. Shareholders can expect nothing except dividends of used bricks. (Prudent mine workers should demand a diesel generator and fuel in every ventilated crib room.) It would be better and quicker to buy a portable nuclear power plant and get smoke-free 24/7 power.

is far worse. What next? I was half expecting the writer to claim Premier Andrews’ accident was some form of divine retribution! I would sooner take safety and medical advice from doctors and or socialist politicians than bible thumpers. I am deeply disappointed as I had always thought of the Baptist faith as somewhat less dangerous than most. COVID-19 is an existential threat, not a cover for some sort of power grab. Atheists and Agnostics must unite to counter such dangerous and offensive ideas. Petri Juhola Anglesea

All the right notes I thought I had seen it all. A lovely Japanese-made piano (Yamaha) out on a neighbour’s nature strip. A giveaway. The sad reality is that one can hardly give pianos away, nowadays. They are weighty and simply take up too much space in homes which have become smaller. The good news, however, was that this particular piano was eventually picked up; a couple of days later; in the middle of the night, according to another neighbour. Hope that it has found a good home. Michael J Gamble Belmont

Viv Forbes Regional cities ignored Washpool, Qld Breathtaking is the best way to describe the outrageous decision by deputy PM and National Party leader, Michael McCormack to include Avalon Airport as the only Victorian Countering dangerous ideas To suggest that Christianity is somehow the destination for the federal government’s half great defender of democracy is risible. To price $1.2 billion flights scheme, Tourism then make a parallel between the (fictional) Aviation Network Support (TANS) Program – Antichrist and the (mostly left wing) Premiers announced last week.

According to Mr McCormack, the federal government’s intended targets for the scheme include regional airline workers and regional tourist destinations who very much depend on their visitor economies. If that is the case, how can you possibly ignore major regional cities with significant airports and unique tourist experiences like Mildura, Albury/Wodonga and Bendigo? These towns are doing all they can to kickstart their local economies, to get planes back in the air, to get tourists on the ground – and the decision to ignore them by Mr McCormack is a huge slap in the face to them. Northern Victorians, particularly those that live along the Murray in border and neighbouring towns, have endured plenty over the past 12 months and they deserve better from a federal government and a deputy PM who purports to represent regional communities. Three Tassie airports about an hour apart from each other by car have been chosen – but only one airport in Victoria halfway between Melbourne and Geelong. It is just not good enough. I applaud the Victorian Tourism Minister, Martin Pakula who has written to the federal government asking them to reconsider their destination list and add Mildura, Albury/ Wodonga and Bendigo to it. I add my voice to that call and urge all of my Northern Victorian parliamentary colleagues, especially leader of the Victorian National Party, Peter Walsh to do the same.

Geelong Independent, March 12

The trauma these children, along with their abused parents, must suffer is unimaginable. It’s essential that violence and abuse be eradicated from our society. I urge governments at all levels, along with police and family and children’s workers, to call for an emergency summit with Victoria’s Commissioners for Children and Young People in order to address this current crisis. As a society we have to do our utmost to ensure the safety of all from violence and abuse. Continuing along the current path is clearly unacceptable. Robert Van Zetten Highton

Mark Gepp MLC Member for Northern Victoria region

THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW TEN/WIN, 8.30pm

Many of us have fond memories of watching Graham Norton’s guests squeeze onto his big red couch for a chit-chat, but the pandemic has put an end to those shenanigans. While it’s still strange to see Norton’s set dotted with armchairs spaced 1.5m apart, or his guests phoning up on video chat, it’s comforting to know that cheeky banter and a good yarn aren’t a thing of the past. Tonight, Amy Poehler tells all about her new film Moxie, Minnie Driver promotes her podcast Minnie Questions.

SUNDAY

GRAND DESIGNS NEW ZEALAND ABC TV, 7.40pm

Our perception of ‘grand’ is taken on an expedition in tonight’s affecting episode. As host of the iconic original British series for more than 20 years, Kevin McCloud has legions of fans, but it’s safe to declare that his Kiwi protégé Chris Moller (right) has a natural curiosity and empathetic manner which gives him a run for his money. Similarly, the projects covered in this exciting series have that extra-special something. Tonight, Moller meets Craig Jarvis, a man who is determined to construct an eco-friendly, hand-built 65sqm home overlooking Taylors Mistake in New Zealand’s South Island. It’s the show’s longest build, but also the most compelling and dramatic, to boot.

TUESDAY

STAGED ABC TV PLUS, 9.05pm

We can’t shout over the rooftops ps that he the pandemic is over yet, but the flipside is that we get a second crisp ghtful serving of this playful and thoughtful ed comedy. If you haven’t devoured season one, it sees David Tennant ant (Broadchurch, above) and Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex) play “themselves” as they jest, engage in philosophical banter and argue with each other through the lens of Zoom during life in lockdown. Season one featured excellent guest stars, and the return is no exception, with Michael Palin joining the caper. There’s a piquant twist to this season which hich will delight and keep everyone on their toes. It’s clever, funny and restorative viewing for our troubled times.

Comedians perform bizarre and hilarious tasks with a liberated ease that only the British could muster in this top-notch game show. Fronted by Greg Davies (The Inbetweeners, below), along with his ‘sidekick’ Alex Horne, who concocted the show’s premise more than 10 years ago at g Festival Fringe, the Edinburgh season six kicks off with two T fresh episodes tonight. The Lev panel – Alice Levine, Asim T Chaudhry, Liza Tarbuck, Tim Vine (Not Going Out) and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hourr) – ggrapple wheelbarrows and with wheelbarr making towers of lemons, out o amo among other abs absurd things, what is only in w the beginning th of their 10 10-episode sshenanigans.

Knights cross swords in open day By Luke Voogt An education resource developer on weekdays, ‘Sir’ Nicolas Bennett becomes a hallowed warrior of the Knights Hospitaller each weekend when he grasps the hilt of a sword. “I was knighted at a ceremony a couple of years ago,” the 31-year-old from Grovedale explained. Bennett has donned his armour for Geelong Crusaders Reenactment Society since 2015, and fought in re-enactments for about a decade. “I’ve always been obsessed with fighting with a sword and it’s fun to pretend you’re a medieval character,” he said. Now he hopes to share that obsession, as blades clash and steel rings upon Fyansford Common in Geelong Crusaders’ free open day beginning 1pm this Sunday. Would-be warriors can learn to fight like the champions of old with a brief crash course in re-enactment combat, learning how to safely strike and block with a hand axe. “You will also be able to see some fast-paced combat displays, with our members wielding swords, shields, axes and spears,” Bennett said. “If crafting is more your thing, come down and have a chat to our many members who are skilled in various medieval crafts.” But swords are off-limits to those not in the society, with Victorian law requiring public liability insurance and a licence for their use. “Victoria’s really strict with touching and owning swords – I think we’ve got some of the strictest laws in the world,” Bennett explained. “People can pick up an axe, but not a sword – go figure.” His own obsession with the sword and the other weapons of knighthood began with his father’s involvement in similar groups. “I grew up doing bits and pieces with my dad,” he said. “He bought me a little toy plastic sword when I was young, so I used to run around whacking people with that.” He was also “obsessed” with the “underdog story” of Joan of Arc, the French heroine who led the resistance against English invaders in the Hundred Years War. Now Bennett has a re-enactment family himself, with wife Sarah joining the crusaders and their 14-month-old son Jeremy seemingly destined to become a knight too.

“He’s got his own little wooden dagger, so he’s already practicing,” he said. “[My wife] loves it. Originally she was coming along to support me but then she found her own niche with the leather and archery. “She has made my belt and one of my sword-holders, and she’s working on a quiver. “We recently attended an archery event and I had a custom longbow made for her for our anniversary.” The couple even held a combat display at their wedding in 2019, where Sarah shot arrows with soft rubber tips, like tennis balls, at knights in

the thick of a brutal melee. “We’re hoping to bring that [sort of archery] into our combat eventually,” Bennett said. While some re-enactment groups focus more on historically-accurate combat, Geelong Crusaders Reenactment Society is all about having fun and staying safe while fighting, according to Bennett. “There would be things that we could do that would be more historically-accurate like face and groin stabs – which we avoid. All of the soft spots totally out of bounds.” Like other groups, the crusaders use blunted

weapons with metal armour and padding for protection. Bennett regularly joins the society as Sir Nicolas at both public and re-enactor-only medieval fairs featuring historically accurate villages and feasts. “That’s a really cool experience, if you like stepping back in time,” he said. “Whereas the public ones are more about putting on combat displays.” For more information search ‘Geelong Crusaders Open Day’ or email geelongcrusaders@outlook.com.

Artist marks ancestors’ contribution On the Land “I’ve been an artist my whole life,” says Wadawurrung woman and Ballarat painter Deanne Gilson. Gilson’s love of painting ultimately stemmed from an eye problem when she was young, which caused her to avoid ball sports. “I had major eye surgery when I was five,” she said ahead of a new permanent Geelong exhibition featuring her work, which opened on Wednesday night. “I used to get into kinder and they couldn’t get me outside – I was always painting away in there.” But her passion for the art of her forebears took off at age seven, when her family found a cache of old Indigenous stone tools. Her family had just moved from Melbourne to Gordon, and were building a house when they discovered the artifacts onsite, she explained. “That really sparked my interest,” she said. “My mum said her ancestors had been waiting for her to come back to country.” For 35 years Gilson has dived into the ancestral knowledge and traditional markings of her culture in her paintings, drawings and sculptures. “My practice aims to highlight and bring back traditional women’s symbols and ceremonial practices that reference the lived experience of my ancestors,” she said. “By reviving traditional marks found on artifacts and women’s business, I am forming

links with past ancestral knowledge so that it is not lost and continues for future generations. “My art practice relies heavily on the use of symbols and form as a metaphor for the body.” She uses ochre in much of her painting and has also worked on large-scale public art, digital collage photography and fabric design. “For me it’s about sustainability, clean living, taking care of country and not using as many chemicals,” she said. Her 2016 piece Yaluk, Beek, Murrup,

meaning Water, Country, Spirit, features in the National Wool Museum’s new permanent exhibition On the Land. The shield depicts the connection to country through the water that flows through local rivers and creeks to that in our bodies, according to Gilson. “It’s a huge honour [to be part of this exhibition] because in the past it was really like we didn’t exist,” she said. “What it says is Victorian Aboriginal people

are still here. We were not completely wiped out like in Tasmania.” On the Land: Our Story Retold is the first major exhibition on Australian wool since a 1994 exhibition at Sydney’s Living Museum, according to the National Wool Museum. The exhibition replaces Wool Harvest – part of the National Wool Museum’s permanent collection since it was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1988. Visitors to ‘On the Land’ will experience parts of the Museum’s extensive collection, charting tools of the trade from the early 19th Century up until the present day. The exhibition features an 1820 cloth fragment made from John Macarthur’s first wool clip – on public display for the first time. It also includes art and photos from Geelong locals Mary-Jane Walker, Vicki Hallet, Nicole Marie, Pete James and Andrew Chapman, along with a painting from Richard Weatherly. “Even our taxidermy sheep have had a makeover courtesy of Melbourne illustrator Ashley Ronning,” National Wool Museum director Padraic Fisher said. “Visitors will feel a connection to the land, the lives and the achievements of generations of those who live on these lands, wool growers, textile manufacturers, craftspeople, artists and innovators.” Luke Voogt 17 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 19 March, 2021

Dynasty continues for Seas By Justin Flynn

Anglesea defeated Jan Juc in the BPCA A1 Grade grand final. (Facebook)

Anglesea’s dynasty in the Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association is showing no signs of weakening, with the A1 Grade side winning its fourth premiership in five seasons. The Seas did not lose a match all season and proved too good for a gallant Jan Juc at Winchelsea on March 14 after play was abandoned on the Saturday due to heavy rain. Anglesea won the toss and batted first, with Ned Cooper and Ash Poulton getting the side off to a bright start. The 72-run stand was broken when Jordy Graham held on to a return catch from Poulton, who crafted 20.

Left-hander Cooper was run out by a Graham direct hit for a polished 56 with the score on 93 and the dangerous Dale Kerr departed for seven with the score on 3/113. Many at the ground felt Cooper had made his ground, but the umpire adjudged that his bat was in the air. Former Carlton and St Josephs run machine Leigh Kentish settled in and, with Jacob Nolan, started to push Anglesea’s total to dangerous levels. Kentish was bowled by Ben Grinter for a well-made 37 from 58 balls, but Nolan continued to lift the run rate and was unbeaten on 56 from just 31 deliveries as the Seas made 4/193 from 40 overs, setting the Sharks a

Bentley family conquers skyscraper

formidable chase of 4.85 runs per over to win. Disaster struck on the first ball of Jan Juc’s innings with Kerr enticing Andrew Murden to edge the ball to keeper Ty Norman. Brett Venables kept a typically tight line and length to have Jan Juc on the back foot early. The right-armer took 1/12 from eight overs that included five maidens. At 4/67 from 25 overs, the only thing standing between Anglesea and another premiership was star left-hander Ben Grinter. Brad Roberts (35) provided support at the other end and when Grinter fell for a superb 61, it was Anglesea’s premiership. The Sharks eventually all out for 134.

Teen hits winning runs

Newtown’s Bentley family ran up 1331 stairs to conquer the Gold Coast’s 322-metre-high Q1 skyscraper on Sunday, with three relatives placing in the top 12 of 500 competitors. Ex-triathlete Steve Bentley, 61, climbed all 77 levels of the tower in nine minutes and 30 seconds, with his 28-year-old son Jackson beating him by 23 seconds (9:07). “Last time we did this race I beat him,” said Steve, who works as a manager for Wyndham council. “He’s beaten me a couple of times. We have a friendly rivalry – I reckon we’re about even but he reckons he’s beaten me more. “He’s a good basketballer and does CrossFit, so stairclimbing is his third sport.” Steve won the 60-plus division of the climb, coming eighth overall, while Jackson placed third in the 20-29 age group and sixth overall. Jackson’s wife Mikaela Bentley, 24, came 12th overall (9:50) and second only to the world’s top female tower runner Suzy Walsham in the elite women’s division. “That was pretty incredible,” Steve said. Steve hoped the Q1 Stair Challenge would be the first of many tower climbs this year as the COVID-19 situation improves, with runners set to take on Melbourne’s Eureka Tower next. “It felt good to be able to do something that had been taken away,” he said. “People say, ‘why do you do these stair climbs?’ It’s a goal and I like having goals. “I like to take myself out of my comfort zone – I consciously do that. “Some people when they hit 60 just want to be comfortable – I look to challenge myself.” While climbing 1331 stairs sounds exhausting, Steve said “going upstairs is actually very gentle on your knees” compared to running on level terrain or downhill. The event raised more than $56,000 for youth mental health charity Livin.

Jan Juc youngster Harry Hardy lived out every cricketer’s dream in the Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association C Grade grand final against Ocean Grove. With one ball remaining in the match and the Sharks needing three runs to win, Hardy lofted Matt Bellingham over mid-on to the boundary to bring up a thrilling victory. Jan Juc needed two runs to tie the game, which would have been enough to secure the premiership by finishing higher on the ladder, but 14-year-old Hardy, who had only batted twice this season, played a fearless shot. Ironically, his father Troy, who also played in the match, had a dream that his son would hit the winning runs and told the team before the game. Ocean Grove won the toss and batted first at Barwon Heads and was 2/59 from 19 overs when the rain came, ending play for the day. Captain Greg Scarpa made 31. When play resumed the following day, Kent Wooding and Ben Hanson got busy and took the score to 100 before Wooding fell for a fine 45. Grove got to 4/148 with Hanson making 40, but lost a flurry of late wickets to be bowled out for 172 in the 40th over. Lachie Ayton snared 4/28 for the Sharks. Juc openers Jack Masters and Brendan Looney started slowly. Wooding removed Masters via a fine catch by Scarpa but Angelo Henke and Looney started to lift the run rate. The pair put on 86 before Looney, who dominated the partnership, fell for a superb 76. Henke was run out for 21. Jan Juc needed 11 from the final over, which was achieved through Hardy’s fearless last-ball boundary.

Last-wicket stand wins it for Inverleigh Inverleigh earned promotion to A1 Grade next season after claiming the A2 Grade premiership in one of the most amazing finishes seen in BPCA finals history. In a thriller, Inverleigh got home with two balls and one wicket to spare against Winchelsea. Winch won the toss and batted first and was all out for 127 from 40 overs. Adam Korth top scored with 25 while Lock Perrett and Oliver Haberfield each snared three wickets for Inverleigh. When Inverleigh slumped to 9/88, the game was all but finished. Number 10 Kobe George and number 11 Nick Platt then inched closer to the required total, and with two balls to spare,

the winning runs were scored amid jubilant celebrations. George was 24 not out and Platt was unbeaten on 14 to combine for an amazing 41-run last-wicket partnership to win the game. Barrabool caused an upset to defeat Anglesea in B1 Grade. Anglesea could only manage 9/127 batting first with Brent Smith (38) and Ky Eskrigge (31) top scoring. Ryan Werner proved difficult to get away with 3/10 from eight overs, including five maidens. The Grigg family got the job done for Barrabool with veteran Wes (39 not out) and youngster Lachlan (34) getting the side home with five wickets and a few to spare. Armstrong Creek defeated Portarlington

in B2 Grade. Port made a competitive 9/161 batting first with Paul McGrath (59 off 77 balls) the mainstay of the innings. Armstrong Creek took until the 40th over to get the runs, but never really looked threatened with Tim Hester (54 not out off 76) and James Brown (52 not out off 113) combining for a 105-run stand. Portarlington won the D Grade flag against Queenscliff. The two sides were smacked with sanctions following an onfield brawl in round 13 and both sides were only able to field nine players in the finals. Justin Flynn

Cricket finals action begins By Luke Voogt Cricketers across Geelong will begin their finals campaigns tomorrow with North Geelong facing South Barwon and Lara taking on East Belmont in the GCA division one firsts. The division’s leading run-scorer Sean O’Neil will be the man to watch when East Belmont travels to Lara. O’Neil scored a mammoth 831 runs at 69.25 for the season, including four centuries. The Lions also boast Shane McNamara, who has averaged 42.83 since returning from England after Christmas and dangerous seamer Dylan McMahon. But Lara’s batsmen have been solid throughout the season sharing the runs and have two spearheads of their own in Casey

Young and Mitch Hayward. Lara finished level on points with minor premier North Geelong but behind on percentage. North, last season’s premier due to finals being cancelled because of COVID-19, will take on fourth-placed South Barwon tomorrow. North will look to captain Tom Mathieson and Sam Hall for leadership with the bat, while spinners Mitch Troy and Tom Bagg will bolster the side’s attack. South Barwon’s top run-scorer Clinton Peake could carry the Swans’ hopes at the crease, while Brad Hauenstein is also a vital player following a standout season with both bat and ball. Grovedale, South Barwon, North Geelong and East Belmont will face off in the seconds,

while in the thirds the latter three clubs and St Joseph’s will play semi-finals. The fourths semi-final round features St Joseph’s, North Geelong, Newtown-Chilwell and East Belmont. In GCA division two, minor premiers Bell Post Hill take on fourth-placed Torquay, while T20 competition winners Marshall play third-placed Geelong City. All-rounder Glen Talarico, batsman Rhys Burke and bowler David Handley could be important for Bell Post Hill, while Torquay will look to all-rounders Michael Cox and James Fisher for big games. In the other semi-final, division-leading run-scorer Corey Walter could be dangerous with the bat, after amassing 655 runs for the season at 46.79.

But he and the other Marshall batsmen will have to contend with the bowling of Byron Taylor, while City captain Jack Driver has been solid with the bat this season. In the seconds, St Peter’s, Bell Park, Bell Post Hill and Geelong City will play, while the thirds semi-finals feature Torquay, Marshall, Bell Post Hill and St Peter’s. In GCA division three, minor premier Geelong West plays St Albans Breakwater while Lethbridge takes on Corio. Geelong West’s and St Albans Breakwater’s second XIs face off in the grade below, while Manifold Heights will play Waurn Ponds-Deakin in the other seconds semi-final. Several GCA retire 100s and retire 50s one day divisions will also play semi-finals tomorrow.

Harrison wins nationwide GromSearch Barwon Heads surfer Ellie Harrison won the under 16 GromSearch National Championship at URBNSURF Melbourne on Monday. Harrison was dominant across the event having spent countless hours surfing the facility’s artificial break over the past 12 months. She consistently scored excellent rides in the final, with the exception of her left barrel wave, finishing with a heat total of 29.07 (out of a possible 40). “I’m super happy to win the Rip Curl GromSearch at URBNSURF,” Harrison said. “We had perfect waves all day and I got to surf with all my friends. It was epic. 26 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 19 March, 2021

“I’ve been lucky to spend lots of time here. It’s such a fun wave. “Competing in the pool is super different to the ocean – there is a lot of pressure on you to make the waves count. I’m just happy to get a few good scores and win.” The win adds to a host of trophies for the 15-year-old. Harrison won the under 14s at the 2018 GromSearch after taking out the same age division at the Australian Junior Surfing Titles in 2017. She narrowly missed the final of the under 16s GromSearch last year, her first time competing in the older division. Jan Juc’s Mia Huppatz scored 19.29 points in

the under 16s final, finishing behind Harrison in fourth place. Fellow Jan Juc local Willis Droomer scored 26.34, falling four points short of New South Welshman Fletcher Kelleher to come runner-up in the under 14 boys. This was the first time in the GromSearch’s 20-year history that the national final has taken place at URBNSURF. URBNSURF ran an exclusive high-performance GromSearch wave setting, currently unavailable to the public, for the event.

Geelong remains in fourth place on the Victorian Premier Cricket ladder after rain caused matches to be abandoned across the league last Saturday. The Cats had been cruising on 2/108 off 29.5 overs against Prahran before rain halted play. Captain Eamonn Vines made 33, combining with Hayden Butterworth for a 68-run first-wicket stand. Following Vines’ dismissal, Josh McDonald made nine before being stumped with the Cats at 2/83. Butterworth finished on 50*, his second half-century of the season. The left-hander has been handy with both bat and ball at times this season, averaging 26 and taking 18 wickets in 14 matches at an average of 25.9. Thomas Jackson made 11* before the stop of play. Rain halted games across the league, meaning all teams remained in their current ladder positions. With eight points separating Geelong and ninth-placed Melbourne University, the Cats are likely to make the finals with two games remaining. The Cats would guarantee themselves a finals berth with a win away against Fitzroy Doncaster tomorrow. But Lions opener Jack Rudd has been dangerous with the bat, making three centuries. Young Fitzroy captain and all-rounder Ejaaz Alavi has batted and bowled well, averaging 32.4 and taking 21 wickets at 20.1 apiece. Geelong will have a second chance to guarantee finals entry when it takes on eighth-placed Northcote at Kardinia Park in the final round of the season. Following the late start to the season due to COVID-19, the teams voted for a knockout-style final series this year. The teams will face off according to their ladder position, with first playing eighth, second playing seventh and so on. The winning four teams will then face off in two preliminary finals for a chance to play for the premiership. Luke Voogt

SPORT Rain turns section 1 finals upside down LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers Last Saturday’s weather turned Geelong’s top tennis competitions upside down, with the top four teams now an equal chance to reach the grand final. Originally first and second-placed teams had been scheduled to play a ‘second-chance’ match last Saturday afternoon, with third and fourth to play knockout finals. But rain was the only winner, causing the cancellation of play. The cancellation shortened Tennis Geelong’s finals series, meaning first will now play fourth in a knockout semi-final tomorrow, with second and third also facing off in a must-win game. In the section 1 men, the interest will be in the second semi between Grovedale and Barwon Heads. The teams faced off in the last round of the season with Barwon Heads winning by just one game. Both teams will need to be at their best and careful with their combinations to give themselves a chance to make the grand final. Minor premier Highton will go into the first final as the favourite, but the side has not played Leopold since November due to the cancellation of their second meeting amid the

snap COVID-19 lockdown. Both teams are in good form, so only time will tell if Highton can maintain its dominance. In the section 1 mixed, Grovedale Gold and Yellow will go head-to-head in the second semi. This will be a rematch from the final round of the season, where the teams drew on sets but Yellow got up by four games. The mixed combinations could prove crucial in deciding the winner, and bragging rights in the Duff household, with Zoe and Lily in Gold

coming up against older sister Bianca in Yellow. In the first final, Waurn Ponds is the favourite against Grovedale Black to advance into the grand final. Nicole Mullen and company dispatched Black 6-0 in the final round of the season, with Black only managing to win 15 games. Matt Squire returning to Black will strengthen the team, but he is unlikely to be enough to stop Waurn Ponds alone. The first week of the section 1 junior finals also gets under way this weekend. In the boys, Wandana Heights Blue and Geelong Lawn Green have dominated the season and go in as favourites against Highton and Barwon Heads respectively. The section 1 girls Geelong Lawn goes in as the favourite against Centre Court in first versus fourth. In the other final, runners-up Grovedale will want to improve on its past two rounds, after losing both 5-1, including one to third-placed Highton, their opponents tomorrow. All other junior grades played their first week of finals last Saturday morning, with almost every section recording an upset. In the boys’ sections 2, 5, 13 and section 5 girls, the second and fourth teams beat first and third.

Cats launch 2021 flag bid By Luke Voogt Cats coach Chris Scott has cautioned against overconfidence ahead of Geelong’s season opener against Adelaide tomorrow, despite a strong recruitment drive in the off season. “We’d be overconfident if we thought that this was a better shot than what we had driving to the Gabba on October 24 last year – that’s a pretty good shot,” Scott told the media on Wednesday. “We’ve got a lot of work to do to get back to that point again.” Like any season, the Cats could contend “if we get a lot of things right and we get a bit of luck”, he said. “We’re always trying to have one eye on the future and one eye on the now, and those two things don’t need to be mutually-exclusive.” That mentality would need to begin against the Crows, last year’s wooden-spooners, at Adelaide Oval at 4.35pm (AEDT) tomorrow, Scott said.

“Our ambition is to approach every game with the mindset that we need to play our best. “We would expect Adelaide to be optimistic – hopeful about what the season could be, fit and somewhere near the best footy they’re going to play for the year. I think that’s a pretty good mindset for us to go in with.” Scott said he tried “not to rate” Geelong’s premiership hopes “too much” after the Cats secured 2019 Coleman medallist Jeremy Cameron, along with Isaac Smith and Shaun Higgins. “We’d like to kick a good team score – I think the best forward lines in history, in the best teams, have been really cohesive ones,” Scott said. “I don’t know Jeremy as well but Tom’s proven himself to be a very unselfish forward – even when he kicks a lot of goals in seasons, he’s always high for assists as well. “I guess if I could have my way, one would be kicking it to the other a fair bit.” Cameron, Smith and Higgins will play tomorrow, along with young gun Jordan Clark,

Scott confirmed. The speedy young midfielder impressed in the Cats’ Community Series game against Essendon, amassing 29 possessions. “He does have some attributes that we’d like to bring into our team,” Scott said. His training with the Cats over the summer was the former cricketer’s “first AFL pre-season”, Scott revealed. “He’s had multiple arm injuries that have really held back his physical development, so he’s free from those issues now, and has had a really good physical preparation,” he said. “He came back in fantastic shape.” Ruckman Rhys Stanley is set to return after missing the Community Series win under the AFL’s new concussion protocols. But Scott ruled out midfielders Mitch Duncan and Sam Simpson, and forward-ruck Esava Ratugolea, despite Duncan training on Wednesday. In the AFLW, Geelong will take on the GWS Giants at GMHBA Stadium beginning 1.10pm.

New pier proves popular with anglers ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos The inner harbour of Geelong and around the waterfront has offered some fantastic land-based fishing over the past week with the new pier giving more access and more fish! Pinkie snapper have been a popular target species as anglers have got easy access to the deep water and structure where the fish are hiding. Soft plastics have been a great option to throw around, with some fish reaching 60cm in length, along with a few flathead, salmon and pike being thrown into the mix. Coming into the cooler months we should only see the fishing in this area get better and better. The Bellarine Peninsula continues to fish very well for King George whiting from Clifton Springs right around to Queenscliff. Off Clifton Springs has been holding plenty of fish on the slightly smaller side – it will take a bit of sifting through the undersized fish but there are still some quality whiting among them. Coming around to St Leonards and Queenscliff has been fishing very well for whiting, with a much better average size and in fantastic numbers. Swan Bay has been holding some great numbers of calamari over the past week and has been a great option to escape some of the nasty winds we copped at the weekend. Casting artificial jigs in 3.5 metres of water has been a great area to start looking, with natural and red-coloured jigs working a treat. Off Barwon Heads, the tuna bite continues with the fish showing no sign of slowing down anytime soon. The tuna have been feeding on tiny pilchards, however they are still more than happy to scoff down lures over 200mm. Casting stick baits and poppers into the fish feeding on the surface has been by far the most popular way to get a bite, with fish taking a variety of different size, colour and profile lures. Last weekend the Portland Sportfishing club held the ANSA VIC Glenelg River Convention in Nelson with some fantastic reports coming from it – with perch and bream to 40cm and mulloway to 80cm. The Bellarine Light Game and Sportfishing Club won as the overall club and the team of Glenn Miller, Andy Mathews, Noel Porter and Kevin Hunter were the winning team.
