The art of henna

(Louisa Jones) 234254_30

Tiara Kara-Couzens joined a dozen Geelong teens trying their hand at traditional henna art under the tutelage of local instructor Hinal Merchant on Wednesday. Ms Merchant, who has created henna since she was six-years-old, taught the youths how to make their own henna paste, and pens. Common in the subcontinent, the Middle East and parts of Africa, Henna involves creating patterns, which fade over time, on the hands, arms and other body parts. The temporary tattoos are created from a paste using a leaf that acts as a natural dye. Traditionally henna is applied for weddings, festivals and other special occasions. The activity, at Armstrong Creek East Community Hub, was one of about 20 activities over the school holidays run by Geelong council’s youth development unit. The activities including other arts and crafts, a movie night, skate drop-in sessions and more.

Civic centre name rift By Luke Voogt A perceived “lack of consultation” over the naming of Geelong council’s civic precinct has raised concerns among local Aboriginal groups and individuals about “systemic issues” in state legislation. The criticism followed council’s announcement on Monday that it would name its new $102.5 million headquarters Wurriki Nyal in tribute to the region’s Indigenous history. Pronounced WUU-ruh-kih nee-YAHL, the words mean “speak and talk together” in the

Wadawurrung language, according to council. A local Indigenous academic, who wished not be identified, told the Independent the legislation led to the exclusion of many local Aboriginal groups and individuals having their say in the later stages of the project to name the headquarters. State legislation requires council to consult the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation as the local registered Aboriginal party for the use of indigenous names. Initially, a broad and diverse range of Aboriginal groups, consultants and individuals

attended council workshops following suggestions of using an Indigenous name for the headquarters, according to council. Council followed the guidelines of the Geographic Places Names Act and the Aboriginal Heritage Act in seeking the approval of Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation. “I know some people who have just as much cultural authority to have a say who haven’t had a say. It’s just caused this huge wedge in the community,” the academic said. Another local Indigenous source, who also wished not to be identified, said the anger of

some local Indigenous groups over the naming highlighted issues in the legislation. “Governments want a ticked-box approach,” they said. Council’s customer and corporate services director Michael Dugina said recognising and celebrating Geelong’s Aboriginal culture had been a key focus of the civic precinct project from inception. “The city continues to implement ideas and explore opportunities to benefit Aboriginal artists and businesses,” he said. “These opportunities are made available to all Aboriginal people.

Aged care homes lead vaccinations By Luke Voogt Three Geelong aged care centres are on track to be among the first to fully vaccinate residents, staff and contractors against COVID-19 before winter, defying nationwide delays. Homestead Estate in Wallington has administered the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine to 144 residents (97 per cent) and 175 staff and contractors (92 per cent), according to operator TLC Healthcare. Warralilly Gardens, Armstrong Creek, and The Belmont, in Belmont, have vaccinated 320 (91 per cent) and 301 (87 per cent) staff and

residents respectively, according to TLC. In February, TLC anticipated delays in the Commonwealth’s vaccination roll-out across residential aged care, according to chief executive Lou Pascuzzi. “We soon realised that, despite the government’s good intentions, the scale of this undertaking meant that the vaccine wasn’t going to be delivered before the onset of winter,” he said. The company provided the Department of Health with a formal proposal to administer phase 1a of the program itself, Mr Pascuzzi explained. “Rather than criticising or lobbying the government to close that gap, TLC put its

hand up to support the government’s efforts.” Following a rigorous qualification process, TLC received 7000 doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to immunise residents, staff, and contractors. The measure enabled TLC to provide the first dose to 91.25 per cent of its 3500 residents, staff and contractors, Mr Pascuzzi said. “What has really surprised me is the 91.2 average take-up rate of the vaccine across our residents, staff, and contractors. Most of those not participating are as a result of their clinical profile, or other personal reasons. “We are on schedule, thanks to the

Department of Health, and their transport contractor DHL, delivering all the required vaccines and consumables on time. “We have also begun to administer the second doses, and expect everyone to be fully vaccinated by May 4.” TLC’s announcement came as federal government abandoned its target to vaccinate every Australian against COVID-19 by the end of October. Prime Minister Scott Morrison conceded previous vaccination timelines were “not possible” given “uncertainties” facing the roll-out following concerns about rare side effects from AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine.

Happy campers in a foundation first from all over Australia to create friendships and peer support networks,” Type 1 Foundation chief executive Ange Liston-McCaughley said. “We know that teenagers with Type 1 [diabetes] are at a higher risk of mental illness, self-harm and suicide. We wanted to do something about changing this by bringing youth from regional areas around Australia together to support each other. “The main focus of this camp will be supporting the mental health aspect of living with a chronic incurable illness. “We have mentors at the camp in their 20s, who will talk about their journey with Type 1,

the mental health challenge and the challenges in a working environment and socially.” Some of the teens hail from as far as the Northern Territory and Far North Queensland, according to Ms Liston-McCaughley. “We want the youth to come away knowing they have friends in Australia going through a similar journey, and just maybe there will be some lifelong friendships formed.” Ms Liston-McCaughley thanked partner organisation Lions Youth Exchange.

A stabbing at Corio on Wednesday afternoon has resulted in a man being hospitalised. Police and paramedics rushed to Merlin Crescent in Corio about 5.10pm, following reports of an assault. A 48-year-old Corio man sustained a stab wound during an altercation at the property, a Victoria Police spokesperson said. Paramedics took the man to University Hospital Geelong in a stable condition with upper and lower body injuries, Ambulance Victoria confirmed. “A 54-year-old Corio man was arrested at the scene and was [on Wednesday] night released without charge,” the police spokesperson said. “The investigation remains ongoing.” Police urged anyone with information on the incident to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au. Meanwhile, fire investigators have deemed a blaze that damaged three commercial premises in Apollo Bay on Wednesday morning as “non-suspicious”, according to Victoria Police. CFA crews rushed to Collingwood Street about 3.30am where the blaze had taken hold of the premises. The fire destroyed an eatery and caused extensive damage to a nearby hardware store, while smoke damage forced the closure of a confectionery shop until next Friday.

Dunny delay in $200,000 blowout By Luke Voogt “Maintenance issues” have caused a $200,000 blowout and a more-than-one-year delay in the construction of new central Geelong toilets. Council last Friday announced construction would begin on the new public toilets next week, with City Hall expecting the work to finish in August. But in March 2020 council issued an almost identical statement saying the new toilets would be complete by July that year. Council allocated $460,000 in its 2019-20 budget for the project to replace former underground toilets on Moorabool Street. “Maintenance issues associated with ground water that needs to be pumped from existing underground amenities” had delayed the project, according to council city services director Guy Wilson-Browne said. “There was also a requirement to co-ordinate the works with other central Geelong projects underway, such as the Green Spine works in nearby Malop Street,” Mr Wilson-Browne said. “As a result, the total budget for the works, including design and preliminary investigations, is now $660,000.” The new toilets, on the western side of Moorabool Street, will replace the former underground male and female toilets on opposing sides of that street. Last year council permanently closed both “outdated” underground toilets, which were long-time targets of “ongoing vandalism and anti-social behaviour”. The new complex will include two gender-neutral cubicles, a Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliant toilet cubicle, and a changing facility. “The welcome upgrade will provide visitors to the CBD with modern, clean and universallyaccessible amenities,” mayor Stephanie Asher said.

Art shortlist announced This colourful, eye-catching, oil-on-linen painting (pictured) by Melbourne-based artist Jan Nelson is among 28 works vying for the $30,000 Geelong contemporary art prize. Geelong Gallery on Tuesday announced the prize shortlist, which its selection panel chose from more than 600 entries from across Australia. The shortlist features several artists new to the prize alongside some of Australia’s most acclaimed practitioners, according to the gallery. The selection panel for the 2021 Geelong contemporary art prize included eminent art historians and curators Jenepher Duncan and Grazia Gunn, together with Geelong Gallery director Jason Smith. The Geelong contemporary art prize is the latest in a series of acquisitive painting prizes staged locally since 1938. The gallery will announce the winner of the $30,000 prize on the evening of May 28. The 2021 Geelong contemporary art prize exhibition will be on display at Geelong Gallery from May 29 to August 22. The event is supported by the Dimmick Charitable Trust. Details: geelonggallery.org.au/whats-on Jan Nelson’s Black river running #13. (Reproduced courtesy of Ms Nelson and Anna Schwartz Gallery)

An appeal providing vital necessities for people battling homelessness and financial hardship across Geelong has restarted, following a COVID-related pause. “Last year was – for most people – a very difficult year,” Corio-Norlane Lions Club member and Road Home Geelong appeal secretary Richard Walter said. As COVID-19 hit, government agencies placed “most homeless people they knew of” into then-vacant hotels, motels and hostels, Mr Walter explained. Only two of the appeal’s more than a dozen collection sites could remain open during lockdown and, with many Corio-Norlane Lions being elderly and vulnerable to COVID-19, the club suspended its collections.

“But last October many homeless people were put back out to their own devices,” Mr Walter said. “The main housing services for them only came back into the swing of things in September and October.” A few weeks ago Corio-Norlane Lions again began collecting donated toiletries, clothing and bedding at locations across Geelong. “It’s not just for those that might be living on the street – they might be sleeping on someone’s couch or in the car or something like that,” Mr Walter said. “We want to support these people.” For a full list of items accepted and collection locations visit theroadhome.net.au.

Brave Koa ready for fight By Brett Kennedy

Newborn Koa receives a loving kiss from older sister Ava. (Supplied)

A campaign for an Armstrong Creek baby born with a rare and incurable brain malformation has drawn support from across two states. Former Mount Gambier woman Aleisha Koopman and partner Ben Gibson say they are living “every parent’s worst nightmare” after eight-week-old Koa, their second child, was diagnosed with Lissencephaly – a genetic condition impacting large parts of the brain which are smooth with no texture. The condition afffects about one in 100,000

newborns. Ms Koopman said the family had been given a long list of human functions Koa is unlikely to achieve, including walking, talking, smiling and laughing – with daily seizures also a reality. Despite the devastating diagnosis, Ms Koopman said the family was buoyed by hope and strong support flowing from both South Australian and Victorian supporters. The family currently travels the hour-plus trip to Melbourne where Koa is being treated at the Royal Children’s Hospital by specialists.

About $18,000 has already been raised for Koa via GoFundMe. “Having all this support from the community means financially, it is one less thing to worry about,” Ms Koopman said. “I will be a full-time carer so having this help is massive,” she said. Donations can still be made through www. gofundme.com/f/help-support-baby-koa-herfamily. Ms Koopman has vowed to keep the community updated with Koa’s progression through @koa_eve Instagram page.

Breast-screening van a life-saver Waterworld’s Lizz Oliver wanted to set a good example to fellow employees when she saw the bright pink BreastScreen van parked “fortuitously” on her “doorstep at work”. But the Bell Park mother-of-two’s decision to get screened in April 2017 ultimately led to the life-saving detection, diagnosis and early treatment of her stage 3 breast cancer. “I was very thankful to myself that I made the effort,” she said. “I try not to think about what would have happened if I didn’t get screened, but I believe it probably would have gone undetected.”

Lizz described herself as an active 50-year-old at the time. “I didn’t have any side-effects and I was healthy and strong – sometimes we think it just happens to other people, I guess,” she said. “But ultimately, because it was quite a large tumour, it probably would have spread to other parts of my body if it wasn’t detected.” In June 2017, Lizz underwent surgery followed by six weeks of radiation therapy. Now she is urging Geelong locals to visit BreastScreen Victoria’s mobile van, ‘Marjorie’, which stops at Waterworld Leisure Centre,

Norlane, from next Monday until May 14. Early detection and treatment could greatly increase the chances of surviving cancer, she said. “I hope my story will inspire people to get screened.” BreastScreen Victoria recommends women aged 50 to 74 get screened every two years. All breast screens at the mobile van are conducted by a female radiographer and take about 10 minutes. Details: breastscreen.org.au or 13 20 50.

Drysdale RSL has announced modified Anzac Day commemorations for this year due to COVID-19 restrictions. “Normally we have a service in the school hall and the veterans march down High Street to the cenotaph,” RSL member Andrea Nisbet explained. “Our service this year will be a little different, as it will be held solely at the cenotaph in High Street with the march being conducted along Princess Street. I’m just glad it can go ahead.” Ms Nisbet asked those attending the service to arrive by 10am for a 10.30am start, and to sign in using sheets provided or QR codes available at several locations around the cenotaph. She also asked attendees to sanitise their hands and maintain social distancing where possible. Drysdale RSL encourages locals to participate in the Light Up the Dawn initiative by holding vigils in their driveways or front yards earlier in the morning. The RSL’s announcement comes after dawn services at Point Danger, Torquay, and across Geelong had been cancelled. Geelong RSL last week submitted paperwork to council for its traditional Anzac Day march.

Secret research secured By Luke Voogt A new building, equipped to handle secret classified research, officially opened at Deakin University with a visit from Governor-General David Hurley on Monday. “You’ve got the future firmly in your sights,” said General Hurley (retired), a Deakin graduate, as he toured the facility at the university’s Waurn Ponds campus. The $18 million building will make Deakin University the first in Australia with a highly-secure research environment for zone 4 classified, secret-rated Department of Defence and defence industry research. According to Deakin, the building will extend the university’s “world-leading” research and development in motion simulation, robotics, haptics, defence systems, and modelling and simulation. Deakin vice-chancellor Iain Martin expected the building to expand the capacity of the university’s Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI). “The building houses the next generation technologies for defence-related research and development and entrepreneurship activities at Deakin,” Professor Martin said. “It will also enable us to continue to build on the university’s already strong relationships with local industry through the Geelong Future Economy Precinct and the benefits this provides to the community.” The building features an electronics and fabrication area for prototyping, and assembling components and machines. The facility also includes three laboratories specialising in electroencephalography (EEG), haptics and force, and neural and cognitive systems. In the first laboratory researchers will be able to test working memory and human performance while using EEG to monitor the

brain’s electrical activity. The second laboratory will enable further research in haptics – technology that creates an experience of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user. The laboratory will also allow research into biomechanics, virtual and augmented reality, force-sensing materials and various other technologies in combination with EEG monitoring. The third laboratory will support neurophysiological studies examining the

behaviour and properties of brain and nerve cells. IISRI director Saeid Nahavandi said the building’s “state-of-the-art technologies” would allow the institute’s more than 100 researchers to conduct “world-class” studies. Strong government and industry partnerships would help “translate” this “research into real social impact” by generating local and national economic benefits and jobs, Professor Nahavandi said.

Geelong urged to join loo hunt The Great Dunny Hunt has commenced across Australia to help people struggling with incontinence or simply busting to go on a long drive. The Continence Foundation of Australia launched the campaign recently to add to the National Public Toilet Map, which lists 19,000 loos and receives more than two million searches annually. Expanding the list could help five million Australians living with incontinence, including new mothers, the elderly and people with health issues, Continence Foundation of Australia chief executive Rowan Cockerell explained. “The fear of not having access to toilets in public can restrict, and even stop, people from leaving their home for everyday activities,” she said. But Geelong has contributed just two of 500 entries Australia-wide: public toilets at Lara library and Fred Cook OAM Memorial Reserve at Leopold. Ms Cockerell urged Geelong locals to join the hunt, with a chance to win one of three $500 Eftpos vouchers. “There are small towns, bigger regional areas, parks and service stations, not to mention new builds of community centres and play areas that are coming online all the time,” Ms Cockerell said.

Unfortunately all of this had to be postponed.” She and her husband Ken also had to cancel a trip to Scotland and flights from Australia to Europe in April, and missed two weddings in Switzerland. The couple had previously lived in Switzerland for eight years beginning in 1995, when they moved with their sons, then eight and 10, as Ken took on a job in Bern. Their sons studied at the International School of Berne before moving to England for university. Robyne, a radiographer and a bachelor of arts graduate, worked as a fitness instructor and taught Zumba classes in Switzerland.

- Robyne McKeown When Ken retired in 2013, the couple bought a house in Point Lonsdale, where Robyne still teaches Zumba. “But with our sons both now living and working in London, we decided to keep a place in Bern and live part-time in Australia, part-time in Switzerland,” she explains. Ultimately, their roots in Switzerland allowed them to fly over in mid-2020, a time when international travel was off-limits to almost everyone. “Even being in Switzerland, we still were unable to visit our sons in London, my brother in Scotland, or my sister-in-law in England,” Robyne says. “I stayed at home most of the time.” Then, in November, after months of lockdown, Robyne suffered health issues and her GP referred her to a cardiologist. She underwent several tests, which eventually proved to be life-saving. “One of these tests found that I had a myxoma, a benign tumour, growing in the left atrium of my heart,” she says. “Although there were no symptoms, leaving the myxoma could have proved disastrous. “I was very lucky that the doctors found the tumour before it proved fatal. My guardian angel must have been at work.” The possibility of the tumour growing further and affecting her heart function, or other complications, left her only one option. “My decision was a difficult one, but the only one sensible – the myxoma had to go,” she says. On February 1, Robyne entered the Hirslanden Klinik Beau-Site hospital in Bern and underwent open-heart surgery to remove the tumour. COVID-19 restrictions meant she could have no visitors during nine days recovering in hospital and three weeks of rehabilitation. “I was collected at the hospital by a masked driver and taken to the rehab facility in The Alps,” she remembers. “The first person I met in my rehab room was in full protective gear and stuck a swab up my nose before formally admitting me. We sat, distancing and filling out forms while the COVID test developed – negative, of course. “It was all terrifying, especially with no

friends or family around. Thank God for smartphones and the internet. The only way I got through all of this was with the help of my medical teams and the staff at the hospital. “Their professionalism, expertise and care were exemplary. Luckily, most of the staff spoke some English and I got by with my limited [Swiss] German when necessary. “After a month, my German definitely improved.” In a bid to thank her surgeon, cardiologist, GP and other medical staff, she contacted Jirrahlinga Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary, which she joined as volunteer in late 2019. “Ken and I had visited Jirrahlinga a few times, and when the bushfires decimated the Australian native animals, we decided to go and see what we could do to help,” she says. “We both signed up as volunteers and Ken

took on the task of replacing and renewing the information posters at each of the enclosures. “We also went to the [Castlemaine] dingo conservation centre and did this there too. “We became good friends with [Jirrahlinga director] Tehree [Gordon] and have offered our help in any way we could. “I mostly worked in reception and the cafe, but also sewed Joey pouches, face masks and scrubs, when needed. “I was also lucky enough to work with Tehree and learn how to feed the baby animals.” So Tehree was happy to oblige when Robyne asked to “adopt” a baby marsupial, on the condition they named it Beau in recognition of the hospital and its staff. Which is how adorable baby koala Beau, born at Castlemaine but currently on holiday at Jirrahlinga with mum Tilly, came by his name.

Robyne has shown a photo of Beau to the doctors, surgeons and specialists who made the life-saving diagnosis, performed the surgery and looked after her during her recovery. “They were all thrilled and are looking forward to a follow-up, especially when I can make it back to meet him myself and take more photos,” she says. She cannot wait to meet the cute and cuddly Beau, who is currently enjoying some of the best eucalyptus leaves Barwon Heads has to offer at Jirrahlinga. “I have his photo as my screenshot on my phone and look at it constantly as a source of inspiration for my continued rehab,” she says. “When speaking with my cardiologist and showing him the picture of Beau, I said to him, ‘much better than a box of chocolates’. He wholeheartedly agreed.” 9 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 16 April, 2021

COMMUNITY GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

MY GEELONG Geelong Netball Club opens its 2021 campaign next Wednesday after COVID-19 forced the cancellation of last year’s Victorian Netball League season. Club president Kerri Scott speaks to Luke Voogt about the Cougars’ and the Flyers’ hopes for this season. Tell us about you… I’ve lived in Torquay for 50 years after moving from Melbourne. My husband Peter’s a local builder and we have the Hotondo Homes franchise in Torquay. I’ve got two daughters and one, Sarah, is expecting, so that will be my first grandchild. I played junior netball and several years of senior D grade netball at Torquay. I became involved with the committee and as a coach through my daughters, and I’m now a life member of the club. How did you get involved with Geelong Netball Club? It began with my daughter Sarah playing for the Geelong Flyers – our junior development side. I joined as treasurer. Later the Flyers

and the Geelong Cougars, who play in the Victorian Netball League (VNL), became one entity under Geelong Netball Club. Six years ago the then-president asked if I could fill in for him. And I’m still here! Sarah’s now manager of netball for AFL Barwon. What have been the highlights of your role? We were premiers in 2019 and that was a massive achievement. Some of the Casey Demons players we came up against in grand final play Suncorp Super Netball – Australia’s top league – like Erin Bell and Emma Ryde. Now one of our girls, Allie Smith, plays for the Vixens, while Mel Bragg plays for Collingwood, which is a testament to the Geelong Netball Club pathway that they’ve reached the pinnacle of netball.

How is Geelong Netball Club different to other clubs in the VNL? We’re not a typical club – we don’t have a home base. We play most of our games at the State Netball and Hockey Centre in Parkville. We have a couple of home games this year at Christian College, Highton, on May 16 and July 25, which is exciting and we’re hoping to have good crowds there. We have an all-in approach. It’s about looking after the whole player, not just their sporting ability. We’ve got an amazing group of coaches who work with the players with their work and school commitments. The players are great role models. How have you coped with COVID-19? It was an easy year for me because there was

nothing I needed to do – everything was on hold. We’re very lucky because we’ve got an amazing list of coaches – they checked on the players’ welfare throughout COVID-19. We had trials at Geelong Grammar late last year, which were difficult because the health advice changed week-to-week. What do you like to do locally? We just bought a house in Apollo Bay, so we love going down the coast because Torquay is a bit busier than when I moved here. Apollo Bay feels a bit more like the old Torquay. We’ve got a nine-month-old Jack Russell terrier, George, and he loves to go to the beaches there. George is also an office dog, so he goes to work every day.

World-class photos on show By Luke Voogt Images that caught international attention and appeared on front pages across the world have taken pride of place in a new North Geelong exhibition. The Nikon-Walkley Press Photography Exhibition opened at Focal Point Darkroom and Gallery last Friday, showcasing the best Australian news photography of 2020. “Last year was such an incredible year,” gallery owner Craig Watson told the Independent. “Although it’s a year we’d rather forget, it’s provided us with some of the most powerful images that we’ve seen in a long time. “The awards reflect that, being predominantly fires and COVID, and a bit of other stuff.”

‘‘

It’s about getting people in to create and celebrate photography - Craig Watson

’’

The exhibition features photos that shaped the global news narrative, such as Matthew Abbott’s iconic shot of a kangaroo fleeing NSW bushfires in January 2020. “It’s a remarkable image, and technically it’s brilliant as well,” Watson said. “It’s the epitome of the ‘flying kangaroo’, only in this case it’s fleeing the flames. It absolutely captures the whole essence of the fires. “They’re all photos that caught worldwide attention. They’re incredibly well-captured images of major global events.” The exhibition was a must-have for Watson when he opened the gallery in 2019 after more than three decades as a photojournalist. “I started out at the Herald and Weekly Times in the darkroom,” the 59-year-old Leopold local said. After working for the Times he spent 25 years as a freelance photographer for motorsports and classic car magazines. “I’ve always worked on the basis that if you don’t ask, you don’t get,” he said. “When we opened the gallery I thought it would be great if we could have the Walkleys, so I just rang them up. I said, ‘what are the chances of getting the Walkleys down here?’ They said they hadn’t been down to Geelong before. But they make it really easy.” About 1000 people came through the gallery’s first Walkley’s exhibit in 2019,

according to Watson. “It looked like 2020 was going to be our year, then we closed in March,” he said. “[Reopening recently] was like starting again. We still get a lot of people come in saying, ‘we didn’t even know you were here’.” The gallery features a darkroom for

photographers, young and old alike, who enjoy the craft of shooting on film and developing their shot traditionally. “We get quite a number of young people come in who want to learn the old-school way of doing things,” Watson said. “It’s a more tactile thing. You invest a lot of time into it.”

For Watson, little compares to the satisfaction of developing a great shot traditionally. “You have to think a lot more carefully about your shot because you’re not going to see it until you develop it,” he said. “It makes you think a lot about your photography and I think it actually makes for better photographers.” The gallery also plans to hold an exhibition later this year celebrating 110 years of Australia’s involvement in the Antarctic. “We’ve got photos going back to the first Australasian expedition in 1911, so that’s going to be really cool – no pun intended,” Watson said. He urged locals to check out the Walkley’s exhibition, which runs 10am-5pm, Wednesday to Sunday until May 30, but advised parental discretion for younger children. “There are some pretty confronting images,” he said. “It’s about getting people in to create and celebrate photography, and to be inspired with the exhibition.” Details: focalpointdarkroomgallery.com.au

Inspiring footy tale returns to the Potato Shed A play-turned-film about a local footy club recruiting refugees in a fight to survive will return to Drysdale this month in its original onstage rendition. Released in 2018, The Merger this January debuted on Netflix, which sent its audience numbers skyrocketing, according to creator Damian Callinan. “Netflix is an incredibly powerful and accessible means of getting your story out there,” the comedian told the Independent, while on a drought-relief tour in country New South Wales. “Netflix don’t give you the figures, but going anecdotally and on social media movement, I reckon 10 or 20 times more people have seen the film now.” The film originated from Callinan’s one-man show featuring prodigal son and former footballer Troy Carrington – a long-time character in his repertoire. “He’s the character I’ve been doing the longest,” Callinan said. “Right from the very first night people were saying you should do a film.” After retiring from his playing days, Carrington comes to Bodgy Creek, where the 12 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 16 April, 2021

population is dwindling, the mill is closed and Tidy Town sign has fallen down. The next victim of the town’s decline is the cash-strapped Roosters Football Club, where Carrington takes over as coach. The struggling club is at risk of a merger, or as a character in the film puts: “when one s**t team joins up with another s**t team to make a slightly less s**t team.” “The team’s a rabble, the clubrooms are condemned and Troy can barely fill the side,” Callinan said. So Carrington decides to recruit local refugees, many who have never seen a Sherrin, and teach them to play footy, with often hilarious results. Callinan plays several characters, including sock puppets and radio commentators in the play. “People who see the film say, ‘how do you do that as a one-man show?’ and people who see the show say, ‘how did you do the film?’” Callinan returns to the Potato Shed, Drysdale, for the show beginning 8pm on Friday, April 30, following his tour of NSW. The stand-up comedian has been going above and beyond on his journey throughout

the drought-affected and now flood-stricken region. “If you look at disasters on the map in the last couple of years all the red dots are in northern NSW,” he said. Every day before his show in each town, he gets out and about to make a slideshow of all the quirky sights he can find in each location. Then, in his gig, he questions why the town’s World War I cannon points at the local post office, or why the ‘cemetery’ sign sits directly beneath the ‘landfill’ sign. “It’s quite delightful watching,” he said. After wrapping up his What a Relief tour this weekend, he departs for a tour of The Merger beginning in Williamstown and stopping second at the Potato Shed. He looked forward to having a laugh with locals and sharing a little of Carrington’s philosophy. “Troy’s very much a country bloke and a competitive beast, but when push comes to shove he’s about caring for the person rather than the results of the match,” Callinan said.

SPICKS AND SPECKS ABC TV, 7.40pm

Almost 10 years since the last proper season, Spicks and Specks is back for a full outing. Fans can rejoice! A decade will feel like yesterday as host Adam Hills (left), along with team captains Myf Warhurst and Alan Brough, settle back in to the feel-good, music-loving game show. Tonight, the panellists kicking off the return are singer/ songwriter and drummer G Flip, singer Linda Bull and comedians Frank Woodley Dilruk Jayasinha. It’s the panel show equivalent of a mug of hot chocolate.

TUESDAY

THE GOOD DOCTOR SEVEN/PRIME7, 9pm

Now four seasons into the lives of doctors and patients at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, the feeling of a fresh, new show is gone. In its place we have characters, such as Dr Shaun (Freddie Highmore), who viewers feel they know intimately. Afraid of change and stuck in his ways, this nonetheless brilliant doctor has grown up a lot. Tonight, in “Spilled Milk”, we are reminded of Shaun’s emotional limitations in an episode that fervently plays with viewers’ emotions. Claire (Antonia Thomas) is shocked when her absentee father rocks up. After the show’s reality-check COVID storylines, fans will probably be relieved for some good, oldfashioned, emotional manipulation.

The beauty and diversity of Australia is explored in this laidback travel show which celebrates the traditional owners of our land. Host Ernie Dingo (below) doesn’t appear to be interviewing anyone he meets; he effortlessly engages, chatting with them about their beloved surrounds and life stories. The actor ac and comedian, who many will remember as the th affable host of The Great O Outdoors his fforr 16 years, is in h fo explores eelement el ement as he exp the Murraylands re region in South Australia ttonight.

Property news

Building industry under pressure Rampant demand in the renovation and home building sector is hitting customers with significant delays and pushing up the price of materials, reports Euan Black. And disruptions to international supply chains are only making matters worse. “There are stock shortages in just about everything,” says Duncan Eadie, owner of Victoria-based Cumberland Building and Maintenance. “Everything comes in from overseas – and all of these overseas countries have been in lockdown so we just don’t have the stock at the moment.” As a result, many builders are worried they will be unable to fulfil the commitments they have made under the federal government’s HomeBuilder program, which as of mid-March had doled out 96,726 grants. The scheme closed to applicants on April 14, but requires eligible projects to be started within six months of the contract date, which must be no later than March 31.

Victim of its own success Peter Langfelder, director of home builders Metricon, described the scheme as “a fantastic stimulus” that had lifted his company’s sales 20 per cent higher than pre-COVID levels. Mr Langfelder was very confident it would begin all of its projects within the required six-month timeframe, as it had good relationships with its suppliers. But he said many builders were in a less fortunate position. “There’s no doubt the take-up of this has been substantial – it’s fantastic, it’s a great news story. But I know from an industry point of view there are some concerns in terms of being able to meet all

the obligations of the customers,” he says. “The industry is definitely under pressure.” Asked whether he would like the Morrison government to relax the six-month requirement, Mr Langfelder says that giving builders an extra six months to start projects would “take the pressure off a little bit”.

Approvals at record highs Mr Langfelder’s comments came as the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed

on April 7 that building approvals for private-sector houses had hit another record high in February – surpassing the previous record set in December. ABS director of construction statistics Bill Becker said approvals for private-sector houses had increased 15.1 per cent in February and risen almost 70 per cent since HomeBuilder was announced in June. Housing Industry Association chief economist Tim Reardon said the scheme had “certainly been very successful in turning around what was a very terrible outlook for home building in June of last

year”. “From the day HomeBuilder was announced, we saw the market turn dramatically,” Mr Reardon said. But he conceded it would take longer than usual for builders to complete their projects due to supply shortages. Mr Eadie said the supplies that were making it through to Australia were of a low quality. “It’s terrible. We haven’t got any decent timber left,” Mr Eadie said.

who prefer a sportier LX. “The LX is our most popular L Series model thanks to its combination of maximum luxury, incredible capability and renowned Lexus care with the industry-leading Encore Platinum

owner benefits program as standard,” Mr Thompon said. “The new-look LX 570 S further broadens the appeal of this flagship luxury SUV with sporty, yet subtle design touches and a focus on enhancing its urban appeal.”

Lexus has upgraded and given a facelift to its LX 570 S SUV. A block-mesh insert for the spindle grille replaces the previous wire-mesh insert. This gives it a similar pattern to that on the flagship Sports Luxury grade of the Lexus RX. The front bumper skirts have also been revised, with horizontal lines removed from the outer section of the skirts. Again, following others in the Lexus range, two-tone wheels with a silver fascia and gloss black inserts similar to those in the Lexus LC sports car. It has a moulded ‘S’ badge on the tailgate. Exterior colours include Sonic Quartz and Starlight Black. Inside, the luxury semi-aniline perforated leather trim is available in Black or, exclusively for this model, a rich burgundy colour named Garnet. Shimamoku Grey ornamentation is also unique to the LX 570 S. The Lexus LX 570 S has a 5.7-litre V8 engine with 270kW of power and 530Nm of torque, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It can tow up to 3500kg (braked). All that power and towing ability means that it has twin fuel tanks that hold 138 litres of petrol. Lexus Encore Platinum membership for three years is standard with every LX variant. Amongst other things it comes with eight valet parking vouchers validated at participating Westfield shopping centres nationwide, as well as at Chadstone Shopping Centre in Melbourne. Encore Platinum membership have access to Lexus on Demand – which offers the freedom to swap into another Lexus that best suits an owner’s lifestyle or the needs of an occasion.

Huge stand steals semi from Cats By Luke Voogt A mammoth seventh-wicket partnership has stolen a semi-final victory from Geelong. The 137-run stand helped Dandenong win by three wickets last Saturday, with just three balls remaining, denying Geelong a place in tomorrow’s grand final. Geelong was without captain and top run-scorer Eamonn Vines, who underwent surgery for a ruptured testicle from the Cats’ quarter final win. Dandenong sent Geelong in with Hayden Butterworth and Vines’ replacement Jack Riding making slow but steady progress in blustery conditions.

Riding, who averaged 50.43 for the seconds before stepping up, managed 31 in his First XI debut before former Sri Lankan off-spinner Suraj Randiv sneaked one through for a stumping (1/65). The Cats lost Josh McDonald just one run later but put on 48 before Tom Jackson skied a pull shot (3/114). Butterworth fell next on 55 following a superb running catch by Edward Newman, with Geelong struggling to get the run rate past 3.25. But Gus Boyd’s 44 off 36 (four fours, two sixes) and brothers Tom (22 off 20) and Josh Larkin (13 not out off 14) helped Geelong speed up the scoring.

Leg-spinner Tom O’Connell had another important batting cameo throwing Dandenong’s bowlers off by side-stepping at the crease and hitting two impressive cross-bat sixes. His 21 off 15 helped Geelong finish on 6/219. Geelong started well with the ball as Josh Garner trapped Tom Donnell LBW (1/15) and Josh Larkin bowled Josh Slater with a ripper (2/41). The Panthers also struggled to get the run rate above three, and their efforts to speed up their scoring triggered a four-wicket collapse when Newman holed out off Hayden Butterworth (3/79). The Panthers lost three more wickets including dangerous opener Brett Forsyth and

all-rounder James Nanopoulos. But Jacques Augustin and Peter Cassidy fought on. In the 39th, four leg byes sneaked by McDonald before the Cats keeper dropped Augustin on 27 lunging to his right three balls later. Needing 80 off the last 10, the pair threw caution to the wind, getting the runs required down to 19 off two overs before smashing Brody Couch for 18 to level the scores. The Cats had a glimmer of hope for a tie when Cassidy chipped Dom McGlinchey’s first ball to mid-wicket to be caught on 56. But two balls later Jack Fowler hit the winning boundary with Augustin finishing unbeaten on 71 off 56.

Shields seeks title in karate family affair Drysdale concreter and current Asia-Pacific champion Samuel Shields is aiming to win his fifth open middleweight title at the Kyokushin Karate State Finals on Sunday. The sport is a family affair for the Shields clan, with Samuel fighting in the same weight class as younger brother Gabriel, and two siblings competing in other divisions. “My whole family started together when I was in grade one, because we were really shy kids,” the 24-year-old told the Independent. “My dad John, two brothers and I started at the same time – they’re all black belt. [Gabriel and I] always got along pretty well but we’ve had some solid rounds of sparring in the dojo. “It’s pretty disciplined and we had dad in there watching us. “We still fight the same against each other as anyone else – we go as hard as we can. But as soon as the fight’s done, it’s all good again. “Every now and again I’ll enter a heavier weight class, just so I don’t have to fight my brother all the time.”

Samuel even won the heavyweight state title once and in an ‘eight-man eliminator’ in March defeated a 120 kilogram fighter before losing in a tiebreak round to a 115kg fighter. Weight class makes a bigger difference in Kyokushin tournaments than in point-scoring forms of karate, according to Shields. “It’s known as the strongest karate because of how brutal it is,” he said. “It’s knockdown karate, so the aim is to drop your opponent. I always feel more comfortable fighting somebody smaller than me.” Punches to the head are illegal, and if a fighter sustains a concussion they are ruled out for at least the day’s competition for their safety. “There’s always at least a handful of knockouts for the day,” Shields said. “I’ve never been knocked out. I’ve copped a couple of kicks to the head but nothing too bad. “I broke my foot at the nationals one year and during my second Dan grading I cracked my ribs; one of my instructors got me with a body punch in my second-last fight.”

Shields will attempt his own favourite move, a spinning roundhouse kick to the head, at Geelong Arena on Sunday. “It’s pretty difficult to land but I’ll definitely give it a go,” he said. “That’s what I’m mostly known for. It’s not letting any secrets out – they know it’s coming.” Shields described Geelong Arena as a fantastic venue for the event, which also draws top competitors from interstate. Shields met his girlfriend through Kyokushin, and has stayed in shape during lockdown by training with her dad, local fifth Dan black belt and instructor Robbie Adams. “I was training in the garage a lot of the time with him,” he said. Also joining him for Sunday’s tournament are sister Lily, 17, and brother Nate, 10, both competing in junior divisions. “Dad’s been third in the heavyweight division in Australia too,” he said. “He’s retired from fighting but he still trains.”

It’s pretty safe to say that this past week has been the worst a fisherman could ask for with high seas, strong winds and rain making it very difficult to get out and wet a line. Fortunately for some guys they managed to get out before the weather turned and managed to find some nice fishing. Inside Corio Bay has seen large numbers of Australian salmon spread right across the bay, popping up on the surface in many different locations. Keith and Zoe Purdie went out for a flick late in the week and stumbled across a large school of salmon just off Stingray Bay, the pair were casting soft plastics into the commotion, landing plenty of fish to 1.5 kilogram. Clifton Springs was still providing some quality whiting fishing, until of course the weather decided to turn, with boats still finding plenty of fish right along the peninsula. A fair share of fish over 40 centimetres were finding their way into the mix. After this strong blow we can expect the whiting bite to go bonkers over the next week or so. The Bellarine Light Game and Sport Fishing Club held its annual King of the Rip convention at the weekend. Although the weather was less than favourable to the members some did find some good point scoring fish in sheltered water. Swan Bay and the Geelong Yacht Club provided some good options with pinky snapper to just under a kilo in good numbers and a few silver trevally to 800g too. The Barwon estuary also had some good fishing on offer with trevally, salmon and mulloway all making appearances. Lake Bullen Merri has been producing some really good chinook salmon fishing over the past week and as it’s a volcanic crater you can find protection no matter what the wind is doing. Fat line trolling along the lake banks has been dynamite. Tassie Devils and minnow-style lures have been working a treat with fish to 1.5 kilograms holding in decent numbers.

Better footy ahead: Scott By Luke Voogt Geelong coach Chris Scott has acknowledged the impact of a limited pre-season on the Cats, forecasting better footy to come. “We’ve had the shortest pre-season in the history of the AFL, really – but a lot of teams are in the same boat,” Scott told a press conference yesterday. “We’ve got some guys that aren’t as good as they will be in six, seven, eight weeks’ time.” Scott acknowledged midfielder-forward Luke Dalhaus had struggled due to the limited pre-season. “He needs time and he needs match practice,” he said. “We’ve just got to make a decision with some of those guys as to whether it’s best, short to long-term, for them to continue playing in the AFL. “I don’t think we’re there with Luke – I’m sure he’ll get better.”

Scott also voiced his concern over the Cats’ foward 50 entries, defensive execution and other “things we’re not quite executing on”. The Cats appear likely to again be without

injured star forward Jeremy Cameron against North Melbourne on Sunday afternoon, Scott admitted. “Cameron we’ll hold back for another week, we think, without guaranteeing it will only be a week,” he said. Cameron would need to pass a “whole range of metrics and measures” before returning to the side, Scott said. “And then we’ll overlay the subjective gut feel of it as well,” he said. “I’m as keen as anyone to see him unleashed. “He’s like a cat on a hot tin roof and he’s excited at the prospect of playing for the Cats, and that’s part of the reason we want to make sure that we’re really cautious. “We don’t want to tempt him to come back before he’s absolutely ready.” Scott said he had high regard for bottom-placed North Melbourne’s best players, including Ben Cunnington and Todd Goldstein, ahead of Sunday’s clash at GMHBA Stadium.

The AFL Tribunal’s overturning of Cunnington’s one-match ban this week would strengthen the Kangaroos, Scott said. “But their young talent is what we need to be concerned about, as much as anything.” Scott thanked Cats fans as the clubs’ memberships surpassed 60,000, along with retired champions Gary Ablett and Harry Taylor, who will take part in a lap of honour on Sunday. “They’d be in the mix if they were available,” he joked. Earlier in the week young gun Jordan Clark joined other Cats AFL and AFLW players running an all-abilities clinic. Clark looked forward to getting players including Patrick Dangerfield and Gary Rohan back in the side, and said he was happy to be flexible to make way for their return. “I don’t mind getting thrown around wherever. So long as I’m out there, that’s all that matters to me,” Clark said.

Lap of honour for Cats greats

Geelong Cats AFLW best and fairest winner Amy McDonald in action against Richmond. (Marcel Berens)

Amy McDonald best and fairest for 2021 Midfielder Amy McDonald has won Geelong Cats’ AFLW best and fairest medal, almost doubling second-placed Meghan McDonald’s votes. Hailing from Ballarat, Amy was selected at pick 80 in the 2019 AFLW draft following a standout VFLW season with Geelong, when she was named in the VFLW Team of the Year. Amy stood out in a disappointing 2021 season for the Cats, playing all nine games and averaging 20 disposals and seven tackles. Her versatility has allowed her to alternate between playing half-back, wing and inside midfielder over her 15-game career. “Amy worked really hard throughout winter last year to improve her skills and fitness,” Cats AFLW coach Paul Hood said. “Her outstanding training ethic has played 26 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 16 April, 2021

a big part in getting her to where she is today. “Her confidence has grown significantly over the course of her two seasons of AFLW and she now has the belief in her ability to influence games. “Amy is tenacious in her attack on the football; her great tackle pressure sees her win the ball. “She is improving rapidly but still far from reaching her eventual ceiling.” Amy earned 71 votes for 2021, ahead of Meghan (36) and Becky Webster (34) and Renee Garing and Olivia Purcell (tied on 25). Georgie Rankin won the Hoops Award for giving back to the community through club initiatives and her care for teammates, coaches and staff. Renee Garing and Steph Williams shared

the Carter Family Community Champion Award for 2021 Throughout 2021, Garing continued her work as a club Just Think ambassador and volunteer for the Pretty Foundation, Salvation Army and Fight Cancer Foundation. She also volunteered for initiatives such as Barwon Health Foundation’s Virtual Run 4 Geelong event. Williams was the face of the AFLW Cats’ first Djilang Game, working alongside the club to promote the inaugural AFLW Indigenous Round and the Geelong guernsey. Williams took the opportunity to educate players and staff from her personal experiences and stories, and attended Geelong Gallery’s storytelling of Wadawurrung woman Corrina Eccles.

Cats fans will get a final chance to farewell retired champions Gary Ablett and Harry Taylor when Geelong takes on North Melbourne on Sunday. Ablett and Taylor will return to GMHBA Stadium with their children for a lap of honour in front of the Cats faithful before the bounce at 4.40pm. Eight-time All-Australian Ablett won two Brownlow medals and two premierships, and kicked 445 goals, in his illustrious 357-game career at Geelong and Gold Coast. Known widely as ‘The Little Master’, he often features in discussions on the greatest of all time to play the game, alongside father Gary Ablett snr. Two-time All-Australian and dual premiership winner Harry Taylor stands out as one of the best defenders of his era, if not all-time. He played 280 games for Geelong, occasionally kicking goals as a pinch-hitting forward, and was loved and respected as a quirky character at the Cats. Like Ablett, he retired after Geelong’s 2020 grand final loss to Richmond. Geelong Cats encouraged supporters to be seated by 4pm to thank two players “who gave so much to the blue and white hoops over their decorated careers”. Luke Voogt
