Every Anzac Day Corio veteran Gary Ryan remembers mates he lost in the Vietnam War. “We lost a couple of guys and had quite a number wounded,” he said. “You were more afraid of being wounded, in some ways, than being killed.” Conscripted as a national serviceman in 1968, Mr Ryan remembered patrolling the Vietnamese jungle in 1970 and being shot at by Viet Cong. “You hit the ground as quickly as you can,” he said. “When I came home there was only a dozen of us on the plane. We were discharged and that was it. A lot of guys came home with problems but I don’t think it impacted on me.” Mr Ryan has marched in Geelong every Anzac Day since returning 13 years ago to the city where he grew up, except when COVID-19 halted services last year. “It’s good to get together again – especially with COVID last year – we haven’t seen some of our mates for a year,” he said. “Anzac Day is very important for us, as we get older, to catch up.” Luke Voogt ■ Anzac

Youth housing crisis By Luke Voogt Youths seeking emergency housing have increased by 60 per cent in a year at a major Geelong support agency amid concerns the region’s rapidly-increasing rental prices are fuelling the crisis. National spokesperson for Australia-wide campaign Everybody’s Home, Kate Colvin, cited Geelong and the Bellarine’s rent hikes while calling for urgent investment in social housing. “The rising cost of rental properties pushes stable housing further out of reach for young

workers who are increasingly in housing stress,” Ms Colvin said. “The housing affordability crisis is even more dire for those on Youth Allowance. A person on Youth Allowance looking for a share house can afford less than one per cent of rentals.” According to the SQM Research Weekly Rents Index, house rents went up by 15.8 per cent in central Geelong and 10.7 per cent on the Bellarine Peninsula in the year to April 20, 2021. The figures come after Geelong recorded a net decrease of 82 ‘affordable dwellings’ in 2020, according to state government’s December 2020 quarterly rental report.

Greater Geelong and the Surf Coast have the fourth-lowest and lowest percentages of affordable housing of all Victorian local government areas on 13.9 and 2.7 respectively, according to the report. Meanwhile, Barwon Child, Youth and Family (BCYF) has recorded a spike in youth pleas for help. “Over the past year, our crisis services saw an approximately 60 per cent increase in young people seeking emergency housing support across the region,” BCYF youth services manager Mandy Baxter said. “Each year approximately 1200 young people

seek homelessness support through BCYF. “On any given night in the region, there are approximately 200 young people on the BCYF wait list, who are experiencing, or at risk of homelessness. “They are coming to our youth services team for a number of reasons including housing stress due to loss of income, financial worry and family violence. “Rental affordability in our region is also out of reach for many of the young people and families we work with. However, the single largest factor causing young people to enter the homelessness system is family conflict.”

Supply shortage in housing boom By Luke Voogt Geelong and Surf Coast builders face massive supply shortages amid a housing boom, with almost 3200 local applications for federal government’s recently-extended $25,000 HomeBuilder grant. “We’re starved of materials, we’re starved of trades and material prices are skyrocketing,” Grovedale custom builder Peter Walters said. A sharp increase in global demand for building supplies during COVID-19 and recent Australian bushfires have contributed

to supply shortages, according to the Housing Industry Association. “We can’t get timber and roof trusses. Window lead times have doubled,” Mr Walters said. “We can’t get materials from our local suppliers that have been servicing us for years. They won’t even quote our jobs at the moment. “I’ve just ordered a lot of roof trusses in from Bendigo because I can’t get them in Geelong. “What they’re giving people for HomeBuilder is being swallowed by the increased material costs.”

Hotondo Homes Torquay’s Kerri Scott echoed the supply concerns. “Housing’s just gone through the roof,” she said. “Our biggest problem is we’ve got such a huge amount of housing booked to go, without the certainty of pine timber supply. “My husband’s been a builder for 30-plus years and we’ve never seen it this bad with timber.” Last week federal government announced applicants under its HomeBuilder scheme have 18 months, rather than six, to commence work after signing a building contract.

The extension applies to applicants who signed a contract between June 4, 2020, and April 14, 2021. Geelong and Surf Coast locals made almost 3200 applications for HomeBuilder, according to State Revenue Office data. The majority of applications were for new builds, including 2452 in greater Geelong and 243 in the Surf Coast. Armstrong Creek had the highest new home applications on 487, following by Mount Duneed (376), Charlemont (273), Lara (255), Torquay (191) and Ocean Grove (162).

Shire hires new CEO

Vets celebrated as cat seeks home In 30 years as a vet Julia Aspinall has treated thousands of animals like Sergio. With World Veterinary Day tomorrow, Julie used the occasion to help the long-time resident tabby at Geelong Animal Welfare Society’s (GAWS) Moolap shelter find a fur-ever home. “He’s been here for a long time,” she said. “We’d have at least four or five in the shelter at any given time that are like him.” While Sergio has minor health issues, the “smoochy” and “needy” black feline could be the perfect second shadow for the right human companion. The Leopold resident joined GAWS as head

vet more than a year ago, so the profits from her expertise would go directly towards feeding and caring for the shelter’s animals. “It’s just a really nice place to be at in this stage of my career,” she said. “You’re getting to give back to the community and the animals, and intervene where you need to. “Finally in the shelter space you’re doing that directly for the animals, not an owner or a boss. Our bosses are the animals out the back.” The Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) website advises that vets have a “significantly higher risk” of suicide than the general population.

Being a vet can be tough, Julia explains, as generally they need a high degree of empathy for the job. “You do it for the love of animals and most vets have incredibly high standards on themselves,” she said. She describes her fellow vets at GAWS as “amazing”. “They’ve just got hearts of gold, for people and animals,” she said. For more information on Sergio or GAWS other resident animals visit gaws.org.au. For help phone Lifeline on 13 11 14.

High-level government executive Robyn Seymour has signed on as Surf Coast Shire Council’s new chief executive officer (CEO) for five years. On July 12, Ms Seymour will replace interim chief executive Anne Howard, who took over after Keith Baillie left the role in July 2020. “I’m really looking forward to moving to the Surf Coast Shire, a region I love and have been keen to make my home,” Ms Seymour said. “I’m passionate about delivering outcomes and value to the community and I look forward to working with the team at the council to ensure we are meeting community needs.” Surf Coast mayor Libby Stapleton welcomed Ms Seymour, who currently leads a team of 400 at Road Safety Victoria and worked previously as chief executive of VicRoads. “Robyn has extensive leadership and management experience across several roles,” Cr Stapleton said. “She has a proven track record of managing and delivering complex initiatives and projects, and I know she will be committed in leading the organisation to help our community and environment to thrive.”

Vaccination ramps up at local hub By Luke Voogt Vaccination has ramped up at Geelong’s mass immunisation hub as part of a statewide push to protect people over 70-years-old against COVID-19. The former Ford factory in Norlane was one of three high-volume vaccination centres where state government “opened the doors” to bookings for people over 70 on Wednesday. High-risk priority groups from the Commonwealth’s 1A and 1B cohorts can now make a booking at the Norlane hub. Earlier this week state government

announced the AstraZeneca vaccine would be available to these cohorts “following the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation’s (ATAGI) latest recommendations”. On Wednesday, state government also made the AstraZeneca vaccine available to eligible people under 50 who choose to receive it. The move comes after the ATAGI recommended the AstraZeneca vaccine for people over 50 due to an approximate one in 200,000 risk of blood clots from the jab. “Our medical experts’ recommendations obviously impacted the national roll out,”

Health Minister Martin Foley said earlier this week. “But here in Victoria, we’ve worked around the clock to find solutions to get vaccines in people’s arms as quickly and safely as possible. “By Wednesday, our health professionals will have everything they need to administer AstraZeneca to eligible Victorians of all ages, and they will continue to do so to the highest standards of safety and quality.” Where supply is available, eligible people aged under 50 can also continue to receive the Pfizer vaccine. More than 160,000 Victorians have received

the Pfizer vaccine through a workforce-based appointments model. Local health authorities have so far administered more than 20,000 doses the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines combined in the Barwon South West region, according to Barwon Health. The Norlane vaccination hub has the capacity to vaccinate 2000 people per day subject to bookings and vaccine availability. Bookings can be made to get vaccinated at the Norlane hub by phoning 1800 675 398 or online at barwonhealth.org.au/coronavirus. Details: coronavirus.vic.gov.au/vaccine.

Ford truckie back for jab “Dad’s fondest memories are of his time at Ford, which he talks about over and over again. Even with his condition, he remembers his time at Ford like it was yesterday.” Josie said Joe’s family was relieved he would be protected from COVID-19 after the vaccination. “Initially, we were nervous, but we spoke to his medical team who assured us that it will be the best thing for him. It will also ensure our family can be together after a very difficult year for us.” The vaccination hub is taking bookings for 1A and 1B cohorts. Those eligible can phone 1800 675 398 to book an appointment. Brooke Boyle vaccinates Giuseppe “Joe” Puglia, as he holds a photo of himself during his days working for Ford. (Louisa Jones) 234928_03

Retired Ford truck driver Giuseppe ‘Joe’ Puglia returned to his old Norlane workplace on Wednesday with a very different purpose. The 80-year-old, who has Alzheimer’s, received a COVID-19 vaccine as the factoryturned-immunisation hub ramped up operations that day. Born in Sicily in 1940, Joe had celebrity status among Ford drivers for his impeccable driving record, according to daughter Josie. “Dad still likes to say that he was the best truck driver at Ford, and he was awarded with a certificate of excellence before he left,” she said. “Dad was one of the first truck drivers to drive the first B-double and B-triple trucks here in Victoria. “He even got the job to drive up the Ring Road in the B-Double with Victorian Premier Joan Kirner as his special guest.

Geelong Cats Joel Selwood, Brandan Parfitt and Darcy Moloney tackled poor health and eating habits head-on with a visit to Belmont Primary School on Tuesday. The Cats captain joined the tough midfielder and the AFLW young gun doing push ups and jumping about with the pupils to kick off the club’s Healthy Heroes program. “This is one of our key pillars down at the Cats,” Selwood said. “It’s been going for five years now, so it’s starting to get real legs.” After spending most of 2020 in lockdown or AFL hubs, Selwood was happy to get back into the community and meet the young Cats fans. “[Our community engagement] was very limited last year – all through Zoom – so it is nice to be back,” he said.

The Healthy Heroes program reached more than 7000 grade 3 and 4 pupils in Geelong in 2019, and is now expanding. “To be able to expand GMHBA Healthy Heroes to even more kids, encompassing all primary school levels is amazing and the players enjoy delivering this,” Selwood said. The program educates children on having a healthy lifestyle with key messages around eating, water consumption, physical activity, screen time and sleep. “GMHBA is very pleased to be part of a program that gets to kids early and sets them up with the right lifetime habits,” GMHBA chair Claire Higgins said.

Barwon Heads residents spoke out about their experiences of a possible cancer cluster at a senate inquiry on Tuesday. The inquiry was called after many locals felt that a council mosquito spraying initiative in the mid-1980s contributed to a higher incidence of cancer and auto-immune disease.

Club grants Local clubs and organisations received almost $10,000 in sports grants for equipment and uniforms in a state government program, South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman announced this week. Among the recipients were Working Equitation Geelong ($1000), Ocean Mind ($1000), Armstrong Creek Junior Football and Netball Club ($2000) Deakin Baseball Club ($2000), Westcoast Calisthenics Club ($3000) and AFL Barwon ($925).

Solar farm switched on By Luke Voogt The largest solar farm on an Australian university campus, according to Deakin University, officially opened at Waurn Ponds on Tuesday. Deakin described the $23 million industrial-scale microgrid as a “significant boost” to its goal to be carbon neutral – producing zero net carbon dioxide emissions – by 2025. The system features 23,000 panels in the solar farm and an additional 833 panels on campus rooftops, including student residences. Deakin vice chancellor Iain Martin likened the pursuit of global carbon neutrality to NASA’s Apollo program, as he turned on the grid alongside national renewable energy advisor Dr Alan Finkel. “Australia is in a strong position to benefit from moving rapidly in this endeavour,” Professor Martin said. “At Deakin, we believe we have a duty to use our capabilities and assets to demonstrate both ambition and leadership on the issue of renewables. “We want to be a working example – a living lab – of how a large organisation can lead through its actions and fundamentally change its ways of doing. This includes the complete, systemic integration of sustainability across all our activities. “However, to achieve a sustainable energy future in Australia, it will require a long-term, cross-sector, collective effort. “We require a bi-partisan political commitment over the next few decades; the political and community leadership required will be significant.” The system will greatly decrease the university’s carbon emissions while providing

a platform for industry-relevant research, according to Deakin Energy director Adrian Panow. “Ultimately, the microgrid will supply more than half of the campus’s energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 12,000 tonnes each year,” Dr Panow said. “The research focus incorporated into the design of the infrastructure builds on consultation with universities around the world, including Princeton and the University

of California at San Diego.” Built in partnership with AusNet Services and Mondo Power, the microgrid comprises of a 7-megawatt solar energy farm and 2-megawatt-hour central battery storage system on 14.5 hectares. The system also features a 0.25 megawatt distributed rooftop solar generation and storage system, and a dedicated research area in Deakin’s Centre for Advanced Design Engineering Training.

Solar take-up lagging Geelong’s residential solar uptake is lagging behind the national average according to combined Australian Clean Energy Regulator and ABS data. The data, prepared for the Independent by solar company Teho, revealed greater Geelong’s uptake of small-scale systems was 23.32 per cent compared to the Australian average of 29 per cent. The 3218 postcode, including Geelong West and Fyansford, had the lowest uptake of 14.02 per cent. Central Geelong and suburbs in the city’s north and inner east were also lagging behind with uptake in postcodes 3220, 3215, 3214 and 3219 ranging from 15.21 to 19.71 per cent. Little River (3211) and the Armstrong Creek growth area (3217) were easily leading uptake on 48.42 and 40.64 per cent respectively. “That data suggests more established suburbs and areas are much slower on the uptake of solar in the region,” Teho co-founder David Green said. Mr Green compared the 3218 postcode to affluent Sydney suburb Clifton Gardens, which he said had a similar population and home-ownership rates but more than double the solar uptake at 33.52 per cent. “Often, when we see areas with a low uptake of solar it is for two key reasons – accessibility and understanding,” he said.

MY GEELONG Sarah Wheadon made the finals of the Victorian Sport Awards recently for her work developing an autism inclusion webinar series. She speaks to Luke Voogt about what drives her to make a difference. Tell us about you… I live in Geelong West with my husband Lukas and we have two young kids. I grew up in Belmont and lived there until I was 18. I moved to Melbourne to study a bachelor of applied science – sports coaching and administration. My first job out of uni was in marketing at Essendon Football Club, and then I worked as a cabin manager for Qantas. I felt like there was more I could offer, so I did my bachelor of education. I taught PE, English as a Second Language, outdoor education and health across several schools in Melbourne. I moved back to Geelong in 2018 to be closer to the Surf Coast and provide more of a community life for our children. I like to run around the Barwon River and do CrossFit.

of that led to permanent employment with Special Olympics Australia. Initially, I didn’t know much at all about autism but I’ve learnt a huge amount through the series engaging with people with autism and those working in that field. I was surprised to make the finals of the Victorian Sport Awards but at the same time proud industry colleagues had realised the value of this work. Special Olympics is more than just a sport – it’s a bit like a family for people with disabilities.

How did you come to work for Special Olympics Australia? After teaching I worked for the federal government to get more primary school-aged kids into sport. After moving I wanted to do the best by my family by not having to commute, and I had done a bit of work in disability sports and really enjoyed it. Through my colleagues I got some work at Special Olympic Australia in October 2019 working on projects to increase the participation of people with disabilities in sport. Part of that was developing the Autism Inclusion in Sport, Recreation and Physical Education webinar series. The series featured people with autism, coaches, advocacy groups, teachers, researches and other people working in the field. It was aimed at increasing the toolkit of teachers, volunteers and coaches to support people with autism. The success

How are you coping with COVID-19? With COVID all Special Olympics activities stopped because people with disabilities are especially vulnerable. COVID has hit the entire organisation really hard. There’s a lot of athletes who haven’t returned yet and some volunteers may not be able to. The webinar series was actually meant to be face-to-face workshops until COVID hit. That was the silver lining – we were able to reach so many more people via the online platform. I was also juggling home-schooling – like everyone – so that was a challenge, but you don’t have any other choice, do you? During COVID both my kids learned to ride without training wheels.

Stranded surfer rescued

Lifesaving season ends

By Luke Voogt Off-duty lifeguards rescued a surfer stranded in a rip for more than an hour off Ocean Grove main beach on Monday morning. Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club was not officially manned during the incident, after Victoria’s lifesaving season concluded the day before. But Life Saving Victoria (LSV) members were onsite to collect a rescue water craft. “It’s just lucky they were still there,” said Ocean Grove resident Neville Forster, who first spotted the in-trouble surfer about 10.15am on a walk with wife Shirley. “I don’t know how long he had been out there. “We kept an eye on him – being a fellow surfer you keep an eye on the water all the time. “We did our walk up to RAAFs [Beach] and back, and thought, ‘he’s not going to get out of there’. “He tried to paddle out of the rip a couple of times but kept getting dragged back in. When he realised he couldn’t get out, he put up his board like a tombstone. “Once he put up his board I thought, ‘he’s pretty well had it’. He was about halfway out to bommies [the Bombora reef].” After seeing the signal for help, Mr Forster phoned Ocean Grove Coast Watch, which in turn notified water police and other authorities. “[Ocean Grove Coast Watch] said it would be about 20 to 30 minutes before they could organise a boat to get out there,” Mr Forster said. But LSV members at the surf lifesaving club collecting a jet ski also the received the call for assistance and rushed to help. An off-duty lifesaver used the jet ski to tow the 21-year-old male surfer back to shore in stable condition by 11.25am. 8 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 23 April, 2021

The surfer said he was a beginner, according to Mr Forster. “He was relieved when he got back to shore,” he said. “It was good they were able to help the bloke out.” SLV state duty officer Darren McLeod

warned water-goers that rips can “reach speeds faster than even the strongest swimmer” and urged them to check conditions at beachsafe. org. “You can be caught off-guard and dragged out to sea when you least expect it,” he said.

Three people drowned in Geelong and the Surf Coast during one of the deadliest periods on Victorian beaches to date. Life Saving Victoria’s (LSV) 57 volunteer clubs last Sunday took down the red and yellow flags ending the state’s longest lifesaving season yet. Victoria had recorded 52 drownings since July 1, 2020, as the season ended – on track for the highest death toll in 20 years. All 52 occurred outside of patrol times and locations, according to LSV general manager lifesaving services Liam Krige, who called for the season to be extended permanently. Mr Krige said LSV completed about 100 more rescues than in 2019-20 due to a $1.7 million state government funding boost that extended the 2020-21 season. “That’s an enormous number of people who may not be here today if we hadn’t been able to extend the patrol season by four weeks.” Lifesavers and paid lifeguards rescued 105 people in greater Geelong during the season, with another 103 rescues occurring along the Surf Coast. Across the state, lifesavers rescued 600 people.

PUBLIC NOTICES

ANZAC Day, 25 April, is one of Australia’s most important national occasions. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. On Sunday 25 April, we will pause and reflect on the service and sacrifice of those who have served in our country's defence, and those who continue to serve today. This year, we are urged by RSL Victoria to do three simple things on ANZAC Day: Honour, Commemorate, and Donate.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE AT HOME

ANZAC DAY IN GREATER GEELONG

Last year the COVID-19 pandemic saw us honour and thank our nation’s veterans in new ways. With restrictions still in place for in-person events, we can still show our respect from home.

The City of Greater Geelong has commemorative banners installed across the region and will lower ﬂags and turn the catenary lights, intersection of Moorabool and Malop streets, red on the day.

RSL Victoria is encouraging Australians to stand in their driveway at 6am for a minute of silence.

The City’s ANZAC projections return to City Hall this year, paying tribute to the ANZACs through a moving collection of moments captured in time from WWI and the declaration of peace. The projections are on now, running nightly from 6-11pm until Sunday 25 April.

Tune in to ABC for the live broadcast of the Melbourne Dawn Service and the ANZAC Day CBD march or watch online as both are livestreamed on RSL Victoria’s Facebook page. You also might like to explore more military history online via the Geelong Honours Them program by Geelong Regional Libraries, share a message of support on social media using the hashtag #ANZACDay2021, bake ANZAC biscuits, make a poppy or donate to the ANZAC Appeal.

A number of local RSL Sub-Branches in the region will run COVID-Safe dawn services and marches with limited attendance. Priority to attend will be given to RSL members and their relatives along with current serving and retired defence forces members. Bookings and QR check-ins will be required. For further information contact your local RSL Sub-Branch.

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR COUNCILLORS ANZAC Day is one of the most significant dates on Australia’s calendar, as it marks the anniversary of the landing by ANZAC forces at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. It’s an opportunity to recognise not just those brave soldiers who fought and were lost at Gallipoli, but all men and women who defended the freedoms we enjoy today throughout our history. Traditionally, it’s a day we come together to remember the spirit and resilience of the ANZACs at the many services around our region. With RSL members, their relatives and active or retired defence personnel being given priority attendance to COVID-Safe services and marches this year, we encourage the broader community to take time on Sunday to reflect from home. There are many ways to get involved, including tuning in to the Shrine of Remembrance dawn service, participating in the RSL’s Light Up the Dawn driveway service or sending an email of support to our active troops. Visit www.geelongaustralia.com. au/events for more ideas. The Council thanks current and former defence personnel for their sacrifice and remembers those who didn’t make it home. Lest we forget.

FRIDAY FEATURE GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

Iraq veteran remembers With Anzac Day marches returning to Geelong on Sunday, veteran Chris Leach speaks to Luke Voogt about his service in Iraq, Timor Leste and the Solomon Islands.

ithin 72 hours Chris Leach went from being mortared and peppered with machine gun fire in Baghdad, to sinking schooners in a Sydney pub. “There was no fanfare – just a phone call to mum and dad to say I’m home,” remembered the 36-year-old veteran, now working as a plumber in Geelong. “Our CSM [company sergeant major] and RSM [regimental sergeant major] met us at the airport and we got on a bus – that was it.” The deployment was part of a four-year army career that began in 2005 when Chris joined at age 19. His grandmother Joy served in Signals Corp during World War II, while his great-greatgrandfather and great-great-uncle on her side both served in World War I. “She was the first person in her extended family to get her driver’s licence, and she got it in World War II,” he said. His grandfather Alan, who married Joy after the war, joined at 16 and was one of Australia’s youngest prisoners of war (POWs) when the Germans captured him in Greece. But pragmatism, rather than his family’s military heritage, drove him to enlist. After leaving school in year 10 and working on cattle stations in the Northern Territory, he was struggling to find work as a shearer back home in Mansfield. “I needed a job,” he said. “[My parents] were pretty happy to move me along, I think.” His fitness and high aptitude scores allowed him to join as a direct-entry commando, and he had just days to prepare when a place came up. “I rang them on Thursday and I had to leave on Monday,” he said. After basic training at Kapooka he completed infantry training, which was “twice as hard as Kapooka”, and an advanced infantry course that was “twice as hard” again. There he lugged 45 kilograms of equipment 45 kilometres in less than a day, and another time was treated like a POW before being led underground blindfolded into a World War II bunker complex in Newcastle. “You had to cross your legs in an awkward position and lean forward so it’s really uncomfortable for 20 minutes,” he said. “They would ask us questions and we could only let them know our name, rank, PM Keys [serial number] and date of birth.” Holding hands to stay together, the trainees felt their way out of perhaps a kilometre of “pitch black” tunnel. “I was pretty calm – you know your mates were there with you,” Chris said. But a knee injury he sustained while packing up left him unable to complete a final physical ‘barrier’ test. So he accepted the army’s offer to join 3 RAR instead, then an airborne (parachute) infantry battalion. He was “naïve and confident” flying up in the back of a Hercules for the first of 13 jumps during training in Nowra, New South Wales. “I wasn’t prepared for the force of jumping out – being upside down and flung around,” he said. “I had my eyes closed. It took a good five seconds for the chute to open.” The trainees then progressed to jumping with weapons and full kit, including a large backpack. “After that it wasn’t much fun. There were guys throwing up in the plane,” he said. Soon after he was deployed to “the hotter than hell” Solomon Islands as riots flared and locals burned down Chinatown in Honiara. “The hottest place I’ve been in my life,” he said. “We did patrols through the jungle and came across Japanese machine gun posts, US landing craft.” He fondly remembered giving water and lollies from his ration pack to local kids. “A positive was meeting the locals and the kids were happy to see us,” he said. “We went to one very remote village and they sung to us, which was really cool. I’d like to go back there.” Months later Chris was flying over palm trees, buildings and smoke in Baghdad in a Chinook helicopter as tracer rounds shot

past in the middle of the night. “That will be something I never forget,” he said. Later, he and his comrades were aboard Australian Light Armoured Vehicles (ASLAVs) speeding through peak-hour traffic and down Baghdad Airport Road on supply runs. “It was the most dangerous road in the world at that point,” he said. “On a daily basis there were 2500 incidents in our area of operation.” Designated Route Irish, the highway linked Baghdad International Airport to the fortified green zone, including the Australian Embassy where Chris was part of security detachment. The constant threat of ambushes, mortars, rockets and improved explosive devices (IEDs) was a rush, he said. “I loved it. It’s like training for football then getting a game, that’s the best way to describe it.” With a top speed of 100km/h, the armoured mobility of their ASLAVs was key to survival, Chris explained. “As soon as we got into any danger we would bug out – we never stopped,” he said. On one night supply run insurgents set three cars on fire to block the highway. Chris’s convoy arrived as Iraqi soldiers engaged the insurgents, and the lead ASLAV “pumped” 25 millimetre cannon rounds into enemy machine gun positions before punching through the car wrecks and continuing on. “[The insurgents] had 50 [calibre] machine guns set up in the houses,” he said. “We were getting peppered – you could hear the bullets smashing the side of the ASLAV. “All your senses are firing on all cylinders – a massive rush.” Back at a US base, the soldiers spotted bullet holes in sandbags they had placed around the hatch of the ASLAV for extra protection. “It would have been 50mm below where their heads would have been,” Chris said. Chris also remembered a mortar shell exploding in the doorway of a mess hall where they were eating, killing several American soldiers. “We were instantly under the table,” he said. Chaos ensured as American soldiers

streamed through the ruined doorway to get to bunkers. “There were people jumping tables – it was mental – the mess was empty in about three seconds,” he said. “It was too panicked, we just had to wait until it settled.” Chris’s section stayed knowing the insurgents would not likely land another accurate shot, Chris explained. The US Military had airborne detection systems to pinpoint the origin of mortar attacks, before their battery of howitzers bombarded the location, he said. “They could zero in on exactly where the shell came from. Two minutes later, in the distance, you would see a big boom. It was unbelievable how efficient they were. “That’s why I wasn’t concerned at the time – I thought, ‘that was their last shot’.” Often American soldiers spoke to them about the welcome home parades waiting for them. “We couldn’t wait to get home too – we would be hailed as heroes,” he said. Instead, Chris and his comrades made do with several schooners at the Criterion in Sydney. He was soon diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and self-medicated. “I had massive issues sleeping – I couldn’t get to sleep for months,” he said. “There were always shots being fired 24/7 in Baghdad so I was always wound up. There was no way I was ready to be in civilised society.” After four weeks of leave, Chris joined a security detachment for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings before another five-month deployment to Timor Leste, which he described as “boring” compared to Iraq. But as a combat first aider, he, medics and an army doctor got choppered into remote villages to help locals. He left the army in 2009 and in 2011 moved to Buckley, joining three army mates who had moved to the Geelong area. He still bears the knee injury that barred him from commandos, along with back issues. “I’m 36 now and sometimes I struggle to put my boots on,” he said. He now runs Clearwater Plumbing

in Newtown and has hired a Geelong born-and-bred veteran to work for him. “I’m always chasing them,” he said. “I know they’re very mission-oriented. They do a good job and reap the rewards from it.” After COVID-19 cancelled Anzac Day commemorations in 2020, Chris plans to march in central Geelong this Sunday. He looked forward to commemorating the day with his two sons, aged six and eight, and perhaps a third, with his partner expecting. For Chris, Anzac Day is about remembering mates killed in combat or those who took their lives after returning home. “It’s really a day to connect with all the other vets so they don’t feel alone,” he said.

Lest we forget

Council confirms Anzac Day march By Luke Voogt Anzac Day marches in Geelong, Norlane and on the Bellarine will go ahead on Sunday after receiving final approval from council. Council listed five marches in Geelong and on the Bellarine on its Anzac Day webpage this week, confirming the events for Sunday. The Geelong march begins at 11am on Malop Street, near Yarra Street, turning left into Gheringhap Street and right into Johnstone Park to conclude at Geelong Peace Memorial.

blokes like that get these things happening

’’

- Andrew Hann

Only former and current service people can march and crowds must disperse at the conclusion. The confirmation of the march comes after the Independent earlier this month revealed Geelong RSL had submitted paperwork for the event. RSL president Andrew Hann then praised the sub-branch’s commemorations officer Mark Lee, who spent months working with Victoria Police, council and health authorities to organise the event. “I’ve got to take my hat off to him for what he’s doing – blokes like that get these things happening,” he said.

Solomon Islands. He estimated about 500 veterans and ADF members would take part in the march and encouraged them to register early. “We’re encouraging marchers to contact the RSL prior,” he said.

“They can do that in person or if they’re part of a contingent, that contingent can supply a list of names to the RSL.” Veterans requiring assistance can march with one carer or family member. The Norlane march begins at 9.30am on the

corner of Sparks Road and Princess Freeway service lane, turning right into Rose Avenue and concluding at Norlane RSL. In Drysdale veterans will step off at 10.30am at Princess Street near Eversley Street. The march proceeds along Princess Street to conclude at the Drysdale cenotaph. Ocean Grove veterans will march along The Terrace beginning at 9.45am, turning into Presidents Avenue and then The Avenue before concluding at the town’s cenotaph. The Portarlington march begins at the RSL on Harding Street at 11am. Marchers will turn onto Newcomb Street and Brown Street before returning along Newcomb Street to conclude at Portarlington cenotaph. Geelong council will install commemorative banners across the region and will lower flags on City Hall and other buildings. The catenary lights at intersection of Moorabool and Malop streets will also turn red to commemorate the day. Moving projections at City Hall, which began yesterday, will pay tribute to the ANZACS from 6pm to 11pm until Sunday. Geelong locals can also browse the region’s digitised World War I honour boards online at geelonghonoursthem.grlc.vic.gov.au. “There will be a number of events to choose from that are close to home, providing a meaningful and COVIDSafe way to remember those who served,” a council spokesperson said. The dawn services at Eastern Beach and Barwon Heads and the Boer War memorial service are cancelled. For details or to register for the Geelong march phone 5249 2444.

ANZAC Day is one of the most important days in our history and it’s imperative that we commemorate this significant day. We do this, in the best way that we can, to show that we care, respect and remember the sacrifices made by those brave men and women who we owe a great deal, for the democracy we enjoy today. Victorians will be able to honour the sacrifice of our service men and women in person this year at local RSL ANZAC Day services across the state. The traditional Dawn Service will also be held with smaller crowds in partnership with the Shrine of Remembrance, and broadcast on ABC TV as well as live streamed for all Victorians to watch at facebook.com/rslvic. RSL sub-branch, local government and community services have planned for ANZAC Day commemorations – so finding a service close to home is an easy, meaningful and COVID-safe way to remember those who have served. There are also other ways to share your remembrance from home, including participating in ‘light up the dawn’ – standing in driveways, front yards or balconies for the traditional minute’s silence. Victorians can share a message of

support on social media using #lightupthedawn. The Victorian Government provides annual funding of $80,000 to RSL Victoria to support the ANZAC Day commemorations and will increase that amount to $330,000 this year to ensure the safety of participants. All local RSLs, community groups and local councils holding an event must adhere with the Public Events Framework to ensure it is COVID-safe. Find further information at www.coronavirus .vic.gov.au/public-event-selfassessment-tool/. There are other ways you can also show your support. Try contacting your local RSL to see if everyone is okay. Or, if you know a veteran or a veteran’s relative, give them a call to say hello. It’s important to reach out to our veterans community, not just on ANZAC day, but also after this significant day, to show we care. They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. We will remember them. Lest we forget. FUNDED FROM PARLIAMENTARY BUDGET

WAKEFIELD ABC TV, 8.30pm

TUESDAY

BACK ABC TV PLUS, 9.10pm

The enduring comedy duo, David Mitchell (pictured) and Robert Webb, return for a droll, caustic and insightful second season of their misfit comedy. Admittedly, it’s not laugh-out-loud material like the brilliant Peep Show or That Mitchell and Webb Look, but its quick wit and quips will confidently embrace you. In tonight’s season two premiere, which comes a few years after we last met foster brothers Andrew (Webb) and Stephen (Mitchell), a morose Andrew faces the threat of a rival pub.

FRIDAY

THE MULE 7MATE, 7.30pm

Clint Eastwood’s film career has spanned more than 65 years. He’s directed 37 films and starred in more than 70. To say the man is a legend is an understatement. In The Mule, Eastwood, 90, is Earl Stone, an unassuming horticulturist and Korean War veteran who is desperately trying to atone for a life he sees as full of mistakes. While is daughter Iris (real-life daughter Alison Eastwood) prepares to be married, Earl becomes a drug mule for a Mexican cartel. But don’t let his elderly doddering fool you – he’s still got the steely stare and sharp shot practiced in all the Westerns of yore. A true master, this may be the great man’s swan song. Don’t miss it.

Lest we forget

Vietnam War ‘Huey’ pilot recalls RAAF stint To say this will be one of the most anticipated Anzac Days of recent history is no exaggeration – with the forthcoming commemoration already having so much extra emotion attached to it. After all, this is the first full, traditional Anzac Day to be held since the COVID-19 pandemic forced everyone into lockdown last year, resulting in the alternative – yet moving - driveway dawn service to be introduced instead.

‘‘

Experience ... I’d never want ... to repeat

’’

- Tony Wheal

This year also marks the 100th birthday of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), a magnificent milestone celebrated with the theme of “Flying Into a New Era: 100 Years of RAAF”. Barwon local Tony Wheal will be out in his driveway at 6am on Sunday, listening to the ABC broadcast, and waving to his neighbours. Tony is a Vietnam vet, a Bells Iroquois (Huey) helicopter pilot in RAAF’s 9 Squadron who flew just above the tree canopy or at 1500 feet over the Phuoc Tuy province of Vietnam. Tony says that the ‘Huey’ is the best aircraft he’s ever flown. “The engine was un-killable and they were an absolute delight to fly,” he says. “It was an experience I wouldn’t have missed for the world … but one I’d never want me or anyone else to repeat. It was a heavily politicised war, a wrong war led by the US.”

(Pictures: Supplied/Tony Wheal)

Tony’s 9 Squadron was stationed at Vung Tau US army base, supporting three battalions at famed Nui Dat. His helicopter got shot at only once that he was aware of, with bullets only hitting the sand in front of the aircraft.

Tony’s crew of four performed many medical evacuations, and he was also a member of the Huey crew that lifted the original Long Tan Cross into the battle site, with the evocative cross now on display at Canberra’ War

Memorial. HISTORICAL FOOTNOTE: Australia’s 16 Hueys all came home … about 4000 US Iroquois didn’t. Carole Levy

Leura Park Estate’s Grapest run is back, delighting runners and wine drinkers. (Supplied)

Run among the vines Who would have thought that running and drinking wine would go together perfectly? But that’s exactly what you get with the Grapest 5km Run at Leura Park Estate. Participants can choose to circumnavigate dams and vines around the stunning winery course on either a five-kilometre or 10-kilometre run. For those whose mojo doesn’t include running as a highlight, the one-kilometre Wine Waddle has you covered. Along the way, all ‘Grapesters’ will get

to taste eight wines and ciders at various stations. The day will conclude with food, live music and more wine. Leura Park Estate director Lyndsay Sharp said she was delighted the renowned Grapest event was returning to the Bellarine. “Hosting an event and bringing people together for some fun has taken on a new, very privileged meaning after the year that was,” she said. “Grapest is a fabulous event combining a little bit of fitness and lots of fun for a diverse

age range – running, wining, dining, music, food and friends old and new. “All at Leura Park Estate are excited about hosting Grapest after a hiatus in 2020 and look forward to welcoming everyone to enjoy our vineyard, wines and hospitality.” The fun kicks off at 1pm on Saturday, May 1 and will involve staggered starts to ensure a COVIDSafe environment is in place for the run.

So why are valuable police resources enforcing mask-wearing on trains when there are no community cases of covid transmission in Victoria, or for that matter in Australia? You can’t catch what is not there. It’s time more Police resources were put into tackling the region’s growing drug problem rather than enforcing a redundant health directive of an unelected health official.

had the world’s largest high grade oil reserve. In 1913 British production of coal reached its peak. Winston Churchill was the chief of the Admiralty at the time. He ordered that all British warships be converted to run on oil. Germany’s warships were already running on oil and had superior speed and range, but like the British, the Germans had no oil of their own. At the outbreak of WW1, Germany had almost completed a railway from Baghdad to Berlin. In 1912, they had negotiated concessions for all oil and minerals 20 kilometres either side of the railway as far as Mosul. Middle Eastern oil was essential for the British war effort. This is why conflict quickly spread to the middle east in both WW1 and WW2. Before the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, it was clear to everyone that the war was not about weapons of mass destruction, it was always about oil.

To maintain a continuous flow of oil for our economy and to support our comfortable lives, energy policy and military strategy must be in complete alignment. Choosing to live with less petroleum means less violence in conflict zones across the globe.

YOUR SAY Tourist area at risk Neil Longmore (Colac Herald April 9) rightly points to the totally inconsistent and ineffective management of rubbish and risk in our most beautiful tourist areas. This makes our local authorities some of the worst waste managers in the state. A petition to Parliament to get all parties moving in the same direction has been approved and is available on line.

Misuse of police resources I see the police are going to enforce mask-wearing on public transport especially on Geelong trains. Yet Police say they are overstretched to tackle the acute drug problem we have in Geelong where two people die each week due to drug-related issues. 22 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 23 April, 2021

Learn to live with less oil War and oil almost always go together. This Anzac Day we should reflect on the violence carried out in the name of oil and Western economic progress.

ENTERTAINMENT

Joined at the hip for stage return By Luke Voogt Geelong actresses Jenn Stirk and Leticia Bayliss have spent the past month joined at the hip rehearsing for a local production of Broadway musical Side Show. The pair play real-life 1920s Siamese twins Daisy and Violet Hamilton in Theatre of the Damned’s first show since COVID-19 hit. “I’m very flattered to be partnered with her – a girl that’s in her early 20s,” Stirk, 37, laughed. The performing arts teacher recently starred in Groovyman at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. But her latest role as a conjoined twin is a first in her more than two decades of local theatre. “I don’t think many people would have had to play something like this,” Stirk said. “It’s very strange having to stand so close next to someone and give up your personal space.” The pair have used press studs, magnets and clothes sewn together, along with physical communication, in an effort to make their performance convincing. “We had a play with magnets but that didn’t quite work,” Stirk said. “We squeeze each other’s hands when we’re about to walk so we don’t split. “We had to figure out how we could make it look as realistic as possible. Real Siamese twins would have that joint sort of sense – depending on their join. “This is quite a challenging role but it’s been a great learning experience.” The company’s directors chose the pair to work together as the most similar-looking members of the cast, Stirk explained. “We’ll be wearing wigs and our amazing makeup stylist Aashlea Oakes is going to contour our faces so we look even more similar,” she said. Side Show tells the story of the Hilton twins who were exploited from birth at a time when performers, generally people with disabilities real or faked, were put on display to be gawked at. “They basically used them for money,” Stirk said. Stirk studied the sisters for the play, and said surgeons nowadays could easily have cut their join at the hip.

“It was really sad they went through life the way they did,” she said. “When people realise they are real people it kind of hits home a bit.” The extroverted Stirk, who normally plays “louder, overconfident characters”, takes on the role of the quieter twin Violet. “Voilet is very shy and the whole idea of performing onstage scares her. She just wants to be normal like everyone else,” she said. Her colleague Bayliss plays the outgoing Daisy, who just wants to be famous. “She’s me in a few exaggerated ways,” Bayliss told the Independent. “She’s very bratty and

defiant, and it’s so much fun to learn the vivacious and flirtatious side of her. “It’s fun to play one of those characters that just says those things that you hold back in your day-to-day life. “I’m quite flattered, talent-wise, that they would match me up with someone so much more experienced than me,” Bayliss said of her onstage partner. “It’s so strange – it’s been the most wonderful but terrifying experience learning to move with another person, while playing another person.” The 22-year-old musician, who is preparing

to release four new tracks, has “been doing theatre seriously” for the past two years. “Being an extroverted person and a performer, COVID was really difficult. I’m happy we’re back and I hope it stays that way.” She admitted part of her was nervous after a year-long break from the stage. “But as we rehearse, I’m just feeling this excitement bubbling inside of me,” she said Side Show runs for seven performances from next Thursday to May 7 at Shenton Theatre Geelong High School.

Locally Grown Funnies bring Punchlines to Pako Laughter will return to Geelong West as stand-up veteran Richard Stubbs joins a motley bunch of Geelong and Ballarat comedians in Punchlines on Pako next month. “He’s a bit of a legend of Australian comedy,” said Highton comic Luke Massey, who looked forward to again performing with Stubbs. “I used to watch him when I was younger.” Stubbs’ rise to fame began with a try-out routine of his anecdotal stand-up at Melbourne’s Last Laugh comedy theatre in 1983. He would go on to perform across Australia and in major cities worldwide including Montreal, Los Angeles, London and New York. Stubbs spent decades on TV and longer still on radio. He still works at 3AW, which he joined in 2016 as he made a return to stand-up comedy. “I’ve been lucky enough to perform alongside him a few times and he’s just next level,” Massey said. Massey made his own comedy debut a year after Stubbs’ return, after watching mate and Ballarat comedian Tim Young in action. “Tim and I work together out at the Geelong refinery,” he said. “He might not look like a firefighter but he is. He’s got a really big head so if there’s ever a fire, we’ll get behind it. “I went and watched him one night and thought I’d love to try it. The first time I did a 10-minute routine, I brought the house down. I thought, ‘this comedy thing’s easy’. “The second time I got up and did the same routine, not one person laughed for the whole

show. And it was in a café I owned with my partner! I thought, ‘maybe it’s not so easy’.” In April 2017, Young held an impromptu comedy night, which he called Locally Grown Funnies, with a group of local comedians at a Ballarat bar. The group was keen to perform again and appreciative of the chance to do stand-up outside of Melbourne, so Young decided to make the nights a regular fixture. The group eventually became known as Locally Grown Funnies and expanded into

Geelong. “I jumped in to help the Geelong side,” Massey said. He looked forward to getting onstage again after a 2020 locked down at home with his two teenage children. “A lot of material comes from them

because they’re always mucking up at something or I’m mucking up in front of them,” he said. “Especially during COVID – both of them nearly got expelled from home-schooling!” Massey joins Geelong comedians Sarah Maree, Tosh Walker, Stevie Stix and Sharon Andrews, alongside several Ballarat comrades and Stubbs in Punchlines on Pako. “Everyone’s going to bring their A-game,” he said. “This is our first major gig post-COVID. Comedy is not a medium that transfers well to the internet, you have to be in the room.” The four-hour show kicks off at 6pm at Geelong West Town Hall on May 1. For details search ‘Punchlines on Pako’ online. “I’m really excited to get back into it and hopefully we have a few more shows coming to Geelong shortly,” Massey said. “We’re looking forward to seeing as many people as possible and trying to get a bit of comedy back to the town.” Massey, Young and Walker are also supporting the Love Red Lunch today to raise money for Fight Cancer Foundation.

The Audi S6 Sedan – classic executive recipe with a pinch of spice. (Pictures: Supplied)

Executive experience fired up By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring Following the lead of horse racing, Audi is betting on a couple of thoroughbreds with impeccable breeding – the S6 Sedan and S7 Sportback - to lift performance and technology to new heights. Performance, for example, calls on the mild hybrid electric vehicle compressor hooked up to a 2.9-litre, twin-turbocharged TFSI V6 engine that helps to build turbo boost pressure, sharpen throttle response and reduce turbo lag, while at the same time cutting fuel consumption. The S6 Sedan/S7 Sportback also set the standard with pioneering technology, including equipment with unequalled levels of connectivity and infotainment as standard. The S6 Sedan is priced from $149,900, plus on-road costs, while the S7 Sportback we had on test is $159,500, plus ORCs. The S6 Sedan was put through its paces by us last week. The all-new Audi S6 Sedan and Audi S7 Sportback are offered with the comprehensive Audi service plan package, priced at $2350 for three years or $4110 for five years.

Styling The all-new Audi ‘twins’ take on a distinctively sporty style with a sleek, black exterior styling package, including black exterior mirrors, as standard. The ‘S’ trim, together with a stand-out bumper and large air intakes complement the high-definition Matrix LED headlights. Door closure is power assisted and privacy glass ensures, well, privacy for occupants. Further adding to the design credentials of the S6 Sedan, four tailpipes, 21-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels, showing off red brake callipers, and a boot lid spoiler feature as standard.

Interior The well-appointed sports interior offers plenty of space for passengers. The rear seats can be split 40:20:40 and for the first time, the S7 Sportback has room for five. 28 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 23 April, 2021

Standard are panoramic sunroof, metallic paint, a leather interior package of centre console, dashboard, door rails armrests in fine Nappa. The mood can be set with a colour interior ambient lighting package, while control buttons in black gloss have haptic feedback. An air quality package, inclusive of two fragrances and air ionisation, radiates fresh air scents throughout the cabin.

Infotainment Audi connect plus technology is enhanced by MMI navigation plus with MMI touch response and 10.1-inch and 8.6-inch touch screens with voice activated feedback. Both models also come standard with an Audi virtual cockpit, wireless Apple Carplay, Bang and Olufsen 3-D Sound System, wireless charging for mobile phones and two rear USB outlets.

Engines/transmissions An all-new 2.9-litre bi-turbo TFSI V6 engine is enhanced by an electric powered compressor mated with 48-volt main electrical system, putting out maximum power of 331 kW and peak torque of 600 Nm. Both S models are equipped with an eight-speed tiptronic power transmission, supported by the legendary Audi quattro all-wheel-drive technology.

Safety The S6 Sedan and S7 Sportback have a five-star ANCAP safety rating and are equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety systems, including traffic jam assist, 360-degree cameras with kerb view function, Audi pre-sense front and side assist with cross-traffic alert, collision avoidance assist, turn assist and intersection assist. An active bonnet protects pedestrians who are unfortunate enough to be hit by the car, a head-up windscreen display is in direct sight of the driver and there’s tyre pressure monitoring.

AT A GLANCE MODEL LINE-UP Audi S6 sedan $149,900 Audi S7 Sportback $159,500 SPECIFICATIONS Audi S6 2.9L TFSI Quattro 6-cylinder petrol MHEV 8sp automatic

Note: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges. Contact your local Audi dealer for drive-away prices.

7 kW of boost at engine speeds up to 1650 rpm, which helps to reduce turbo lag, regenerative braking can contribute up to 8 kW to recharge the lithium-ion battery, allowing the car to coast for up to 40 seconds with fuel savings of up to 0.4 litres per 100 kilometres. Every little bit helps, as the car can be a bit thirsty. This adds up, says the maker, to a combined urban/highway consumption of 8.4 litres per 100 kilometres. On test the S6 Sedan recorded 14.5 litres per 100 kilometres in a city and suburban commute and 6.2 litres per 100 kilometres during motorway cruising. Engine and transmission settings are at the driver’s fingertips, with the engine offering a soundtrack to match the driver’s intent. Superb. The S6 Sedan and S7 Sportback feature progressive steering and wheel-selective torque control as standard, creating sporty, agile and stable handling on the road. New adaptive air suspension technology offers the ability to adjust the height of the vehicle at different levels. In its standard setting, the ride height of the S6 Sedan is 20mm lower in comparison to the A6 Sedan, and can be lowered an additional 10mm during dynamic mode, or raised by up to 20mm. Sharing the S6 Sedan experience is part of the fun and sports seats up front is the go. The rear seats offer good leg and head room – unless you’re sitting in the middle spot where the large transmission tunnel is intrusive. Storage spots around the cabin include a good-size glove compartment, a centre console with couple of cupholders with a 12V power outlet in between, while front and rear doors can take in one bottle each to maintain occupant hydration on lengthy drives.

Shields beats brother for title By Luke Voogt Drysdale concreter Samuel Shields has defeated younger brother Gabriel to win his fifth open middleweight title at the Kyokushin Karate State Finals in Geelong. “They started at opposite ends of the draw and both worked their way to the final,” Victorian Kyokushin Karate Association Shihancho and event organiser Gary Viccars said. “I reckon that’s the first time I’ve seen two brothers fight in the final of a knockdown tournament. “They fought like they hated each other, which they obviously don’t. No one gets it easy with us.” The Shields’ younger sister Lily won the female colts division while younger brother Nate won the under-12s. Samuel’s girlfriend Ligha Adams came second in the open women’s lightweight division, while Bannockburn local Jacinta Maloney won the female open heavyweight title. One hundred and forty three competitors from as far north as Townsville, south as Burnie and west as Adelaide competed in the tournament last Sunday at Geelong Arena. The event drew a live crowd of 320, with 430 more people live-streaming the tournament throughout the day. Of those, four per cent watched from overseas, according to Viccars.

SPORT Tough competition in Tennis Geelong rating event LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers With Tennis Geelong leagues on hiatus for the Easter school holidays, 24 players took the opportunity to play some singles at a Tennis Geelong-sponsored UTR event at Drysdale last Sunday. The 0-4.99 Rating event was split between six groups with the opportunity for players to stay in form over the break, with each player guaranteed three matches of best of three short sets. With the sun shining, each match was well fought with at least two three-setters in every

group, and even more tie breaks. Group 1 saw Louie Dodds win his three matches, with two of them going to the third set match tiebreak, against Andrew Vlahovic and Ben Webber. Group 2 was incredibly close with Tom Crosby winning his three matches, and Oliver White winning two, losing only to Tom in a third set match tie-break. Alric Wong improved as the day went on, going down in his first two matches but taking the third in a match tie-break over Dante Nicholls. Nicholls had the unluckiest run of the day, missing out on a match win, but pushed two of

his matches to a third set tie-break. Andrew Iles proved the most consistent in Group 3, taking his three sets for the day, although he was pushed by Samuel Duff and Darren Humphrey who both had chances to take sets, but went down 4-3. Humphrey had a tough day with two of his matches going to the third, managing to get over Duff 4-2, 3-4, 1-0, but went down to Jack van Zyl 0-4, 4-3, 1-0. Keanu van Zyl managed to claw out three match wins in Group 4, with Lara Truong and Raphael Nicholls pushing him to the third set tie-break. Truong took out her two remaining sets, including against Raphael Nicholls, in

another close one 4-3, 4-2. Noah Vlahovic was unlucky not to come away with a couple of wins in Group 5, having two matches go to the third, but not quite getting over the line. Kien Wong, however, made the most of his opportunities winning his three sets, although Christopher Watkins and Noah Vlahovic pushed him into a third. Charlotte Iles was the standout in Group 6 (the highest rating band), taking her three sets for the day. After a taking a tough first match 3-4, 4-1, 1-0 against Taj Croft, she had a close start against Jensen Wong eventually taking that match 4-3, 4-0 and finishing against sister Matilda 4-0, 4-3.

Big in and out for Cats By Luke Voogt Jeremy Cameron looks likely to return for Geelong’s clash with West Coast tomorrow afternoon pending the “green light” from Cats medical staff. “Jezza completed a big session on Saturday at high volume and speed, with a large part of that being football,” Cats football general manager Simon Lloyd said. “He trained with Sam Simpson and Harry Taylor and also completed group training with the forwards. “We’re expecting him to be available pending getting through training in the coming days and everything being ticked off by our conditioning and medical team.” Cats coach Chris Scott was confident the star forward would return but declined to confirm he would play. “I don’t want my desire for him to play to overshadow what the right decision is,” he told a press conference yesterday. “This one’s not a coaching decision – once he gets the green light from the medical and conditioning staff, then he’ll play.” Geelong’s hopes for Cameron to return this weekend come as Patrick Dangerfield underwent surgery for an ankle injury sustained 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 23 April, 2021

in the Cats’ win over North Melbourne last Sunday. The club on Wednesday evening announced Dangerfield would be “out of action indefinitely”. “Our initial assessment was that he was likely to play this week,” Scott admitted. “He was actually able to function quite well, even to the point where has wasn’t subbed out of the game. “As the assessment progressed over the week, with multiple opinions and the requisite time to make the right decision, surgery was clearly the best option. It was an exhaustive process to make sure we’ve got the right outcome. “You’ve got to be careful that the result that you want doesn’t cloud [judgement on] what is the right result in the long term.” The star midfielder’s absence would give other Geelong players a chance to step up, according to Scott. “If you’re around long enough you go through periods where you have a little bit of bad luck,” he said. “But there’s opportunity in that as well and that’s the way I’m choosing to look at it. “The opportunity there is to bring in some players who wouldn’t have otherwise got that chance.

“It’s certainly not an environment where we’re all feeling sorry for ourselves and [we are thinking] if only we can get a few players back, then we’ll start playing well.” Mark O’Connor and Sam Simpson are likely to be available this weekend, as Scott looks to nullify West Coast’s star-studded midfield. Earlier in the week Brandan Parfitt, one of Geelong’s best against North Melbourne, said he was looking forward to taking on former teammate Tim Kelly. “I think we have to limit the amount of damage he can do but they’ve got some other quality midfielders as well,” Parfitt said. “I’m not sure if we’ll go with the tagging role or anything like that, but we’ll have to definitely do something.” Parfitt has impressed so far in the midfield 2021, especially with his defensive and tackling pressure. “I was pretty consistent all four quarters but I think the next step is to back it up now throughout my career,” he said. Geelong also faces the three-pronged attack of Jack Darling, Josh Kennedy and Oscar Allen, a challenge captain Joel Selwood said the Cats defence would be ready for. “It’s one thing our defence doesn’t lack, a bit of height,” Selwood said.

The Geelong Waterfront is alive at the moment with fish seemingly everywhere! Australian salmon are in large numbers right through the area. Anglers fishing land-based locations are having no issue getting stuck into the action as the fish are working bait hard up against the structure. Thanks to the fish being super aggressive it’s quite easy to spot where they are holding as there is a scene of absolute carnage with salmon busting out of the water, baitfish jumping and birds diving in. Among the salmon bust-ups there is still plenty of other species on offer such as pinkie snapper, flathead and trevally all holding around the structure and more than willing to snatch up a soft plastic as it goes past. North Shore has had solid reports of large pinkie snapper holding in tight to the rocks and other structures out there. Casting soft plastics or using baits such as pilchard and squid have been doing the damage in landing fish to just over 60cm. There has also been some good bream getting around in the same area – downsizing your tackle should get you a few bites. The King George whiting fishing has been phenomenal along the peninsula at the moment. Hearing reports from Clifton Springs, St Leonards and Queenscliff with all locations holding large numbers of fish – most fish pushing more than 35cm. Barwon River Estuary has been producing a good variety of fish along the front of the system from Barwon Head’s bridge all the way to the sheep wash. Silver trevally, whiting, salmon and mullet have all been hanging around the system and all enjoying the same rig and bait which makes it a bit easier to bag a variety of fish. Lightly-weighted running sinker rig with a bit of pipi has been irresistible to the fish in the system. Lake Bullen Merri continues to fish well for the local salmonoids, with both rainbow trout and chinook salmon biting well. Flat line trolling first thing in the morning has been very productive for the trout and bait fishing during the day for chinook salmon has been good too.

Whiting are in good numbers. (Supplied)
