COVID takes a heavy toll Family violence and intervention order breaches and sexual offences have increased significantly across Geelong in the year since Australia’s COVID-19 pandemic began, according to crime data released yesterday. But overall offences dropped by two per cent, a decrease closer to 5.5 per cent taking 798 COVID-19 offences into account, according to Geelong Superintendent Peter Ward. “The operating environment that we’re in has been challenging with COVID,” Superintendent Ward said.

“It has put a lot of pressure on our workforce but they have really stepped up to the plate.” Intervention order breaches increased from 170 to 245 in the year to March 2021, a 41 per cent increase taking population growth into account, according to Crime Statistics Agency Victoria data. Family violence order breaches increased from 1966 to 2491, up almost a quarter per 100,000 people, while sexual offences rose from 508 to 602, an increase of 16 per cent. “COVID has added a lot of stress physically, mentally and financially on individuals and families,” Superintendent Ward said.

“I have no doubt that there are some correlations between those stressors and instances of family violence.” But he also attributed the increase to the trust officers had built in the local community by cracking down on family violence. “That trust leads to people coming forward and identifying that they are victims of family violence,” he said. Superintendent Ward praised Geelong and Surf Coast residents’ “resilience” and their response “to the restrictions being placed on us”. During the most recent lockdowns Geelong police handed out only a “handful” of fines to

people “who couldn’t justify their movements” to and from metropolitan Melbourne, Superintendent Ward said. Geelong police conducted high-visibility patrols day and night to catch anyone flouting the recent restrictions, he said. “The compliance was very high.” Burglaries decreased by a third, assaults dropped by nine per cent and theft was down by a quarter, including decreases of just under a third in both vehicle theft and thefts from vehicles. A large portion of burglaries and thefts occurred due to locals leaving homes and cars unlocked, Superintendent Ward said.

Easing restrictions a ‘huge relief’ By Luke Voogt The further easing of COVID-19 restrictions today will provide “a huge relief” for local businesses, according to Geelong’s council and tourism board. “It’s definitely the news we were waiting for,” said Brett Ince, executive director of Tourism Greater Geelong and The Bellarine. The changes, beginning a week before the school holidays, were just in time to give local businesses a much-needed “shot in the arm”, Mr Ince said. “Hopefully [they will] make heaps of revenue,” he said.

With Melburnians again allowed to travel to regional Victoria, Mr Ince welcomed them back to Geelong. “We expect there will be a significant number of visiting friends and relatives that we’ll welcome to the region,” he said. “We hope people will reconnect with relatives and friends in our cafes, restaurants and our attractions that are open, and consider staying at our caravan parks, hotels and motels.” But he warned visitors and locals alike to remain vigilant. “We know that COVID is still with us,” he said. “That’s why checking in at venues

and making sure we continue to follow the regulations is so important when we’re welcoming people to the region.” Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher also welcomed Melburnians back. “The return of visitors from Melbourne and further eased restrictions for regional Victoria are a huge relief for businesses in our region,” Cr Asher said. “The increased freedoms are also great news for our community and reward for everyone’s efforts over the past few weeks. “The road to recovery will again be very difficult for those that have been financially impacted by the latest lockdown.

“Local businesses can hopefully now have some optimism that the outlook ahead is brighter, especially with the school holidays approaching.” Like Mr Ince, Cr Asher urged locals and visitors alike to follow COVIDSafe directions. “We absolutely want to keep greater Geelong virus-free, as it has been throughout this latest outbreak,” Cr Asher said. “We have lots of beautiful public open spaces to enjoy, so please continue to spread out and embrace the space.” The changes also allow council to increase patron limits at its pool, leisure centres and community centres.

Bulk buy push for electronic vehicles A new bulk-buying electronic vehicle (EV) partnership is set to make environmentallyfriendly cars more affordable for local residents, according to Geelong Sustainability. The environmental group this week announced it had joined forces with The Good Car Company in a project to introduce more used EVs to the region. “The bulk buy project will enable people to get into a low-mileage electric vehicle at an affordable entry price,” Geelong Sustainability president Vicki Perrett said. The Good Car Company has delivered almost 200 vehicles through similar bulk buy

“We were at the age of life where we can afford an electric car, so why not,” he said. But Mr Lowther acknowledged EVs presented a cost barrier for many people, and said he hoped the bulk-buying project would make them more affordable for other residents. Geelong Sustainability will hold a combined live and online launch forum for the project at The Gordon TAFE next Wednesday, along with a show and shine featuring EVs at Geelong Showgrounds next month.

projects in Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT. The partnership would address an “enormous pent-up demand” in Geelong for EVs, Ms Perrett added. Belmont grandfather Rod Lowther is among the growing number of Geelong residents driving an EV. “Global warming is not about the current generation,” he said. “We won’t experience the downside compared to what our grandchildren will.” A couple of years ago he and wife Margaret Monro forked out $60,000 for a Nissan Leaf, which has a range of about 300 kilometres when fully-charged.

Two Vietnamese sailors who absconded from a ship docked at Geelong on Sunday remained at large this week. GeelongPort, Australian Border Force and the Victorian Department of Health this week confirmed two crew members went missing from the Glorious Plumeria about 2am on Sunday. The missing sailors were on the run for eight hours before Australian Border Force officials were alerted about 10am Sunday. About 20 other crew members remaining aboard the ship underwent COVID-19 testing on Tuesday, conducted by the Victorian Department of Health. A department spokesperson described testing the remainder of the crew as a “precautionary measure.” The wood chip vessel, which docked at Corio Quay last Friday, had left for the Port of Yangpu in Hainan province, China, by Tuesday afternoon. The security breach prompted deputy opposition leader Richard Marles to call for federal government to enhance security checks of foreign crews. The Member for Corio also called for the government to provide greater transparency on the incident. The matter is under investigation by Australian Border Force and state health authorities.

A nod to outstanding service Pete Johnston

An astronaut hurtling over Australia at 28,000 km/h answered questions from secondary students in a Grovedale backyard thanks to Barry Abley’s amateur radio equipment. “It was really quite spectacular,” the newly-minted Order of Australia medallist said, as he remembered students beaming signals up to the STS37 space shuttle in 1991. “We picked up the transmission when the astronauts were off the Western Australian coast and, 10 minutes later, they were off the coast of Queensland.” Mr Abley’s more than half a century in amateur radio began after the then sparky apprentice was conscripted for national service as an engineer in 1967. After leaving the army, he began teaching at South Barwon Secondary College, and soon after a “ground-breaking” project motivated him to get his amateur radio licence. A decade before the invention of the internet, and several more before live-streaming, he and a colleague used amateur television to connect students in four Geelong schools. Later, he used amateur radio to track explorers travelling across the north pole from Russia to Canada and speak to astronauts.

A shell exploding on the HMAS Perth (II) was “millimetres” from killing Newcomb veteran Pete Johnston off Vietnam in October 1967. The ship was bombarding targets along the coast when an enemy artillery battery fired back. “We were the last Australian warship to be hit by enemy fire and it was just luck that only a few people were injured,” Mr Johnston said. “They fired hundreds of shells – by god they were close.” One hit, punching through the deck and exploding in the reinforced steel confidential books vault, which contained most of the blast. “One millimetre further and we would have had 20 or 30 killed,” Mr Johnston said. After leaving the navy, he has dedicated decades to various naval organisations and volunteering in Geelong, which this week earned him a medal of the Order of Australia. He is vice-president of the Ex-Prisoners of War and Relatives Association Victoria, a group he joined after meeting surviving POWs from the original HMAS Perth, which the Japanese sunk off Indonesia in World War II. “They’re the bravest men on Earth,” he said. “We have one left now, who’s 101 and lives

Saving Geelong Repertory Theatre Company from “the brink” and building another group from the ground up was a “marriage of art and practically”, according to Elaine Mitchell. In 1989, Geelong Rep, which Mrs Mitchell joined decades earlier as a 17-year-old actress, was struggling with rising costs and falling audiences. So she and late husband Dennis renovated a Geelong West wood joinery into the Woodbin Theatre, which 32 years on remains the group’s home. She and Dennis, a tradesman, theatre critic, actor and director, knocked out bricks to make arches, built a green room and rescued old theatre seating from across Victoria. “He had the practicalities and I was the artist,” she said. In 1993 they remade the old bluestone Ceres Temperance Hall as the home of Mrs Mitchell’s new company, Theatre of the Winged Unicorn. “The acoustics were absolutely perfect,” she said. “The space is only as small as your imagination.” They also built a studio at their Ceres home when Mrs Mitchell retired as an arts teacher. Theatre “is an absolute way of life” for Mrs Mitchell, whose passion this week earned her a medal of the Order of Australia.

But she was keen to acknowledge the many other locals completing “a kaleidoscope of jobs” backstage. “The audience don’t see the administration, the costume sewers and the hours spent in the dark and cold building the sets,” she said.

If Jan Synot has helped save “one child, two children or three from being abused”, then establishing Bravehearts in Geelong has been worthwhile. The charity’s Victorian arm, which Mrs Synot helped found in Newtown in 2010, has likely helped hundreds of local children. That, along with raising money for Grace McKellar Centre, Geelong Cancerians and Geelong Community Foundation, earned her a medal of the Order of Australia (OAM). “It’s blown me away,” she said. She also won recognition for several decades with Geelong Badminton Club, painting porcelain and nurturing local artists.

She and husband Ross were on the Victorian team that won gold at the 1998 Badminton World Masters Games in Portland, USA. “The only reason I stopped playing is because I had a hip replacement – badminton probably wore me out,” she said. A painter since childhood, Mrs Synot “lived the dream” running the Art Is. Studio and Gallery for 12 years ending in 2019. She helped many artists, some with “no confidence in their abilities”, find their style. She joins husband Ross as an OAM, which he received in 2015. “I thought one per household was pretty good. Here we are with two,” she said.

Simon Scharf Victorian aerial firefighters now have a better chance of getting large bushfires under control at night, thanks to Bell Post Hill’s Simon Scharf. “Up until 2018, we would only ever do firebombing during the day,” said the grandfather and firefighter of 37 years, who received an Australian Fire Service Medal this week. “Flying at night is inherently more dangerous.” But in 2018, Mr Scharf helped pioneer a system using night vision goggles, dependent on smoke and weather conditions.

In January 2019 he directed two helicopters in dropping about 200,000 litres of foam on a fire at Little Mount Buller from the cockpit of another. They brought the fire under control and helped identify spot fires missed during the day. Mr Scharf also received the medal for educating more than 1000 firefighters following the Linton Bushfire in 1998, which killed five Geelong West firefighters. “A wind change hit that we didn’t know about and caused an entrapment of two trucks,” he said.

“I lost five of my crew. That was obviously very devastating.” Mr Scharf never shied away from being “accountable” as a strike team leader following the tragedy, whether in the mammoth 106-day coronial inquest or the decades after. The coroner’s recommendations led to large-scale changes in how the CFA operates, and now Mr Scharf is part of the Linton Staff Ride, training firefighters in order to prevent similar tragedies occurring again. “They are imagining themselves in my shoes that night,” he said.

Taking “busloads” of “deserving” children on a yearly wilderness camp continues a commitment that began when former Geelong policeman Brian Edward was a teen himself. “This is nothing new to me at 81,” the new Order of Australia medallist said. After joining Victoria Police as a 17-year-old in 1957, Mr Edward began volunteering at a Kilsyth youth group. He made a huge dint in crime over his 45-year career, from a constable arresting the infamous Wonga Park murderer in 1965, to chief superintendent. He would again help youths in need during a decade on the board of Bethany Community Support beginning in 2001. “Policing provides tremendous insight into the problems that some families experience,” he said. After retiring from the force in 2002, the long-time Lions Club member began applying for grants to take children from Geelong’s eastern and northern suburbs to Licola Wilderness Village. He started with nine children in 2003, which has increased to about 125 per year, with camps of 108 and 35 this January and April. The children meet new friends and experience “a degree of discipline” as they take on fun and challenging activities, according to Mr Edward. “Archery, high ropes, canoeing – you name

it!” he said. “It provides them with new insights outside their normal family environment.” Mr Edward has secured more than 100 grants and raised $330,000 through Geelong Community Foundation, Geelong Magistrates Court and the Wade and Glover

family philanthropic trusts. He gets “great satisfaction” taking the children each year with support from Geelong Corio Bay Lions Club and 30 volunteers. “They all want to come back next year,” he said.

(Louisa Jones) 240676_08

Peter Baker Grovedale firey Peter Baker, who co-ordinated efforts to fight the devastating Black Saturday bushfires, describes his “exemplary” colleagues as the highlight of his career. “Volunteer or career firefighter, they’re totally professional and they’ve all joined for the right reasons,” the firefighter of 49 years said. Mr Baker joined Belmont Fire Brigade as a junior volunteer at age 14 in 1971 and became a career firefighter in 1983. He rose through the ranks and in 2009 he took the night shift co-ordinating statewide efforts fighting the Black Saturday bushfires, which burned 450,000 hectares and claimed 173 lives. “That was a day like no other. The fires

were moving so rapidly, it was difficult to understand where they were,” he said. “You would receive information on a fire and 20 minutes later it was kilometres away. “The people on the ground did a fantastic job in very trying circumstances.” Mr Baker continues to work as an assistant chief fire officer in CFA’s bushfire directorate. The CFA recognised his leadership in deployments fighting fires in Victoria, interstate and overseas with an Australian Fire Service Medal on Monday. “Mr Baker’s efforts and achievements have greatly improved service delivery to, and the safety of, the Victorian community,” the authority stated.

A professor leading in Geelong’s fight against COVID-19 has earned a medal of the Order of Australia for his services to infectious diseases medicine. Barwon South West Public Health Unit director Eugene Athan has overseen local vaccination, which he describes as “ahead of the pack” in Victoria, and local contact tracing. “We can easily say that we have prevented many thousand of cases … in the Barwon region,” the Torquay father-of-two said. Professor Athan led health workers who contained abattoir outbreaks in Geelong and Colac, and others who prevented dozens of deaths treating about 50 patients hospitalised in Geelong last year. He said helping to protect his community was “hugely rewarding” but warned the pandemic would have ongoing effects for years to come. “It’s a massive undertaking ahead of us.” In the early 1990s, Professor Athan, then a young doctor, fought another pandemic, HIV, among Melbourne’s gay community, and in South Africa and Zimbabwe. A lack of resources and equipment in Africa frustrated him as he treated people with HIV, cholera and pneumonia, but he cherished connecting with the locals. Fighting HIV and COVID-19 are just part his decades-long career battling infectious diseases, which includes co-authoring or contributing to more than 180 peer-reviewed articles. While the global scientific community has long predicted a COVID-like pandemic, Professor Athan believes governments are now better equipped to respond.

‘All aboard’ for mini train Campaigners for a miniature railway track at Corio are calling for locals to get all aboard a petition backing the proposal. Geelong Miniature Railway and Corio Norlane Lions Club recently joined forces to help the proposal – twice knocked back by council – gather steam. “Basically, the council said they don’t have any land to provide,” Corio Norlane Lions Club president Richard Walter said. The clubs believe a miniature railway at Sutcliffe Reserve, including a fully-equipped workshop, will give locals a chance to learn trade-based skills. “After reading Geelong Miniature Railway’s detailed business case, we could see a worthwhile community project that will provide an affordable outdoor family

New hospital location announced By Luke Voogt A paddock at 110 South Beach Road will be the state government’s preferred site for a new multi-million-dollar Torquay hospital, South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman has announced. The new Torquay Community Hospital, which will be operated by Barwon Health, will provide a range of integrated community health and specialist services. “The preferred location will ensure the new Torquay Community Hospital provides easy access for patients, visitors and staff, and is close to community facilities,” Mr Cheeseman said yesterday.

“Torquay locals have been calling for better access to healthcare and we’re getting on with delivering this new hospital so they can receive world-class care, closer to home.” Delivered by the Victorian Health Building Authority, construction of the new facility is expected to start in 2022 and be completed by 2024. The new community hospital will take pressure off nearby health centres, including University Hospital Geelong, according to Mr Cheeseman. He said this would free-up these hospitals to focus more on critical care, acute health, emergencies and more complex surgeries and procedures.

Strong links to specialists, community health providers and social support services would improve follow-up treatment and support for those requiring complex care, he added. The preferred location will provide easy access to the Surf Coast Highway and community services including local council offices, schools and childcare facilities, according to state government. State government authorities are still in the process of acquiring the commercially-owned land for the “important facility”. The hospital is part of a $675 million state government investment to deliver 10 community hospitals in major growth areas across Victoria.

Sustainability on the table Community group Repair Cafe Bellarine has created a new initiative to reduce waste at events including festivals, markets, school fetes and parties. ‘Reuse me in OG’ allows event organisers to borrow reusable tableware kits for free. Repair Cafe has purchased 250 sets of reusable plates, festival plates, bowls, cups and cutlery with the option for event organisers to borrow as little as 20 of each. The sets are made from recycled plastics and come in two kits – the complete kit and the basic kit. The purchase of the kits was supported by the City of Greater Geelong through its Environment and Sustainability Grants Program. The concept was created after Repair Cafe

Bellarine creator Courtney Johnson noticed that some of the local markets and festivals were still using single-use plastics, despite a community-wide focus on reducing waste. “We found that if markets and schools wanted to stop using single-use plastics and swap to reusable tableware, they didn’t have many options available to them, especially small events with limited budgets,” she said. “We wanted to create a service that reduced this barrier by making it easily accessible, affordable and easy to use. “A huge thank you goes to the Driftwood Cafe in Ocean Grove who have offered their services for free to commercially clean the kits after use.” Details: linktr.ee/repaircafebellarine or repaircafebellarine@gmail.com.

First-time Herne Hill author Mary Stuart with her new book. (Louisa Jones) 240671_12

Book launch to inspire Dry July By Luke Voogt Boxing Day 2017 was the last time Mary Stuart drank before her fourth, and hopefully final, attempt to live alcohol-free. “We thought it was going to be mum’s last Christmas,” the first-time Herne Hill author said. “I woke up with probably the worst hangover I’d ever had and that’s saying something, because I’ve had some bad ones. I haven’t touched a drink since.” The Boxing Day binge was the last chapter in more than two decades of alcohol addiction in which Mary, at her worst, drank up to three bottles of wine a night. The addiction stemmed from social anxiety and catastrophising – viewing situations in the worst possible way – along with binge drinking at social events in her 20s. “I might have come back late from a break or something like that and I would think I would get fired,” she said. “I was always fearful of the way people perceived me or looked at me – it was just this constant battle in my head.” Decades in community service jobs, including a “quite stressful” stint working with offenders, compounded her drinking problem. She admits she was unprepared when she first attempted to quit at age 37 in 2010, after a close friend died of brain tumour. A second attempt in 2012 came unstuck on a holiday to Spain. She tried a third time after being diagnosed with celiac disease a few years later. For decades she had hidden her drinking problem from her mum, who she said knew nothing about it but “knew something was wrong”. “She never delved into any of that, she waited for me to tell her,” she said. “It was the best thing I ever did telling her, it was just this weight off my shoulders.” In 2016 her mum was diagnosed with uterine cancer and underwent a hysterectomy. But in February 2017 she was re-diagnosed with stage four cancer. Several months later, a friend recounting Mary making an incoherent phone call while

drunk, her mum’s condition and her worst hangover ever motivated her to quit for good. “My brain was starting to get affected,” she said. “I couldn’t even pick up when people couldn’t understand me.” In the months prior she had gone through a litany of journal entries detailing one-night stands and embarrassing incidents to prepare. “I thought about the horrible things I’d done, silly things that I would never have done sober, offending people,” she said. Then, she began her alcohol-free journey with a hungover selfie on December 27. “My hair was really dry and lacklustre,” she said. “My eyes were glazy and it looked like I was staring into nothing.” She took a selfie for the first 30 days, and regularly after that, noticing she looked healthier each day. “It just became a way of life,” she said. “My skin became clearer and my eyes didn’t look so grainy.” She regained her energy and rediscovered her love of painting while caring for mum. “That sort of kept me on the path because I wanted her to be proud of me,” she said. Her mum fought on for another two “priceless” years and Mary helped her plan the songs and stories for her funeral before she finally succumbed to cancer in 2019. “I could have easily gone, ‘this is stressful’ and had a drink, but I didn’t want to lose my focus on these things,” she said. She also began writing about her journey in 2017 and, in February 2020, a Sydney book coach helped her turn 40,000 words with “no structure whatsoever” into a self-help book. Mary published Living an Alcohol-free Life YOUR Way in April and, with many set to give up booze for ‘Dry July’, she plans to launch the book at Vixen Designs Studio Gallery in central Geelong next month. She hopes her journey can inspire others to find their own way of being alcohol-free. “This book actually made me discover a lot of stuff about myself as well,” she said. “My brothers have read it and they told me mum would be proud to see I’ve published it.” Details: marystuart.net.au 9 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 18 June, 2021

MY GEELONG Vince Manganelli has cut hair for decades in central Geelong and Geelong West. He speaks to Luke Voogt about his quirky collection and growing up in Geelong not speaking a “word of English”. Tell us about you… I’m 58, I live in Hamlyn Heights and I have three sons. My parents came here in the ’60s from Sicily looking for a better life. They were poor, peasants basically. My father came out with his father and older brother and, when they started to establish themselves, dad called for mum to come out a year later. Ford was dad’s first job but he did concreting on the side to get ahead – like most Europeans back then. Their English was non-existent so me being the eldest of three, I couldn’t speak a word of English on my first day at school. I remember at lunchtime I went up to a teacher and told her I didn’t like school, and walked out, much to the disgust of my grandfather when I got home. The thing is, everything I said to my teacher, I said in Italian, not English! I learnt through trial and error and, to a degree, taught my parents. Dad just had his 86th birthday and mum is 79. They’re both in relatively good health living in Moolap. I’ve been sporty all my life, from social basketball to playing for East Geelong Football

to where I am now. I’ve owned it for eight or nine years. I was down the end of Pako for about 20 years before that.

How did you become a hairdresser? I wanted to be an apprentice chef but there were no jobs available. I got offered an apprenticeship as a barber for an Italian fella in Geelong West. Forty years later, I’m still doing it. The people I’ve met along the way are what I like the most. It’s a very social job. Once I know what I’m doing cutting hair, I might try something else. I just haven’t perfected it yet! It’s actually 14 years this week since I moved

How did you collect so many historical items in your store? Some of that stuff I inherited when I bought the business and other stuff I’ve collected over the years.

Festival of flavour Ice cream lovers can overcome their COVID-19 melon-choly in an annual Surf Coast festival featuring 144 flavours including watermelon and feta next week. Aleesha Coots and Will Evans-Papinsky recently tasted the quirky concoction, one of 12 one-off flavours including parmesan and olive oil, siracha pretzels and black sticky rice banana. French opera cake, Turkish Delight Pavlova, charcoal Cherry Ripe and the Star Wars-themed Stormtrooper also feature on the festival’s menu. The Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery even has a few adults-only indulgences such as spiced Negroni and Yuzu whisky sour. Chocolaterie owner Leanne Neeland said her staff had heaps of fun inventing “adventurous flavour combinations” inspired by their kitchen garden and orchard, local suppliers and distillers, and favourite cakes. The festival comes as the chocolaterie rebounds from the devastating effects of COVID-19 on local tourism last year. The event runs at Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery, Bellbrae, from next Wednesday to February 21.

Non-finalised pleas at Geelong County Court have remained level on 26 between January 27, 2020 and January 27, 2021, with 80 pleas finalised between those dates. The Productivity Commission’s Report on Government Services (Justice) shows that pending criminal matters in the Magistrates Court of Victoria have increased by 82 per cent from 2014-15 to 2019-20. The Magistrates Court of Victoria did not provide caseload statistics on Geelong Magistrates Court in response to the Independent’s inquiries earlier this week. Attorney General Jaclyn Symes was contacted for comment.

Following the suspension of in-person circuit sittings, the County Court of Victoria implemented a new process for regional matters. Under the process, all pleas and appeals against sentences are provided with a fixed listing date upon committal or appeal lodgement. “The majority of these matters were conducted virtually using video conferencing software, with appearances in court permitted under limited circumstances,” a court spokesperson said. “This has reduced the delay for these types of matters.”

HUNGER ABC TV, 9.25pm

The history of Northern Ireland can be shocking to revisit in earnest. In 1981, a number of Irish prisoners went on a hunger strike in protest at the British Government’s refusal to classify them as political prisoners. Steve McQueen depicts the final six weeks in the life of Bobby Sands (Michael Fassbender, left), the first of 10 hunger strikers to die that year. An incredibly bleak piece of work – it is more a film about human suffering than political propaganda. Difficult but essential viewing.

AUSTRALIAN NINJA WARRIOR NINE, 7pm

A mammoth task is set for this season of Australian Ninja Warrior. How do you eclipse season four when videographer-turned-muscleman-extraordinaire Ben Polson was finally the first contestant to conquer the near-impossible obstacle course, Mount Midoriyama, after seasons of nail-biting drama, pocketing the jackpot of $400,000? Well, recruiting Aussie tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios, who is famed for being unable to bite his tongue, to join hosts Shane Crawford, Ben Fordham (right) and Rebecca Maddern could be the ticket to success. On top of that, there are 26 new courses, including the intriguing ‘Dragon Back’ and ominous ‘Underwater Escape’. But, let’s face it: fans love this adrenaline-packed show any way it comes.

Jeff Bridges (below) reunites with Big Lebowski filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen as he takes on the role of Rooster Cogburn in this gritty western. Drawing inspiration from Charles Portis’ original novel rather than the 1969 classic that earned John Wayne an Oscar, the Coens return the focus to Mattie Ross ((Hailee Steinfeld), a vengeful 14-year-old girl who enlists the help of the ageing lawman to track down her father’s killer (Josh Brolin). Matt Damo Damon alongsid saddles up alongside the pair as a Texas ranger also hunting down the murderer.

YOUR SAY Aquaduct must be saved It was with great dismay that I read in your paper that Barwon Water is intending to demolish four spans of the historic “heritage-listed Ovoid Sewer Aqueduct” at Breakwater. I believe this is corporate and heritage vandalism. Barwon water maintain they are doing this for safety reasons. This is a smokescreen. They first proposed to do this several years ago so they could develop a park. They had an engineering consultant propose a cheaper and equally safe option then. Barwon Water ignored this option. Now, another park proposal and a requirement to demolish four spans. What vandalism! The park is a good idea. Demolishing the historic aqueduct is not! We can have both; do not be fooled! We need a safe bike path from Warralily to both the city CBD and the Bellarine. The aqueduct with its existing path could be part of this. If properly developed the “Firth of Forth” look-alike could be Victoria’s answer to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. An instantly recognised icon! The aqueduct, as part of Geelong’s sewerage system, has saved hundreds if not thousands of lives from water borne diseases, this information from Barwon Water’s own published data. Do we recognise this. No. SHAME!!!! Also see the friend’s webpage; friendsofbarwonriverovoidseweraqueduct .org

PM should set example The Prime Minister is jetsetting again. It was New Zealand last week and this week he’s in England. While the Prime Minister can jet off around the globe, he locks ordinary Australians at home; no overseas trips for them and won’t be for quite some time. And another thing, The G7 is pledging more funds to combat alleged global warming. Mr Morrison should lead by example, reduce his carbon footprint by staying at home and Skype/Facetime like the rest of us. Alan Barron Grovedale

FRIDAY FEATURE GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

Numbers align for Palais dream Globe-trotting actor Rob Tripolino was a regular performer at The Palais Geelong when his dad Frank ran the venue as a bingo hall. He speaks to Luke Voogt about his dad’s soon-to-be-realised dream to restore the almost century-old icon.

ap-dancing at age eight for bingo players at The Palais Geelong was one of Rob Tripolino’s earliest performances on the path to becoming an actor on London’s West End. “I think it was a tap dance to Puttin’ on the Ritz,” the 30-year-old said. “Before the bingo session would begin there would always be some sort of entertainment. “It was quite bizarre really – it was like the pre-game entertainment, but for a game of bingo.” Rob was a regular on a long list of pre-game singers, bands and entertainers at The Palais, owned by dad Frank. “I would be singing at one point and then I’d run up to the caller’s box and call bingo,” he said. Calling numbers for the players, many elderly, and the art of bingo puns, would one day serve Rob well in his globe-trotting musical theatre career. “Calling bingo is great for one’s diction,” he laughed. “If they don’t hear you and they’re playing for big bucks, you’re going to cop it!”

didn’t just come for the game – some came for the nostalgia - Rob Tripolino

’’

While The Palais had been functioning as a bingo hall since the ’80s, Frank had always had a vision to return it to its artistic roots, according to Rob. “The bingo was the stream of income the building needed to refurbish itself and become a safer and literally sturdier building,” he explained. “I love the memory of dad building a small stage just below the caller’s box when it was a bingo centre. “That was a nod to the bigger picture – that this will one day be a place of the arts again.” The Palais began life as the Joy Ark movie theatre before it was demolished and rebuilt on Moorabool Street in 1926. The then Palais Royal was used as a cinema, a theatre and a dance hall where generations of Geelong couples met. Before becoming a bingo hall, The Palais hosted pageants, major events and big-name concerts for the likes of INXS, Motorhead and more, according to Rob. Frank bought The Palais in 1997, after migrating from Calabria to Geelong with his family in the late 1950s when he was eight. He continued the venue’s use as a bingo hall. “It was the easiest thing to do at the time, put some tables and chairs out,” Rob said. “They didn’t just come for the game – some came for the nostalgia. “People would talk about when they met their husband or late partner 50 years ago, or saw John Farnham, at The Palais.” An accountant by trade, Frank has always loved the arts, according to Rob. “He loves playing music,” he said. That love of arts rubbed off on Frank’s children, especially Rob. “We’ve all dabbled in the arts but I was the only one that managed to keep making a crust out of it,” he said. “It’s really worked in my favour as the only entertainer in a family of accountants. “My parents put me through ballet classes at age four, simply because it was down the road.” After years studying classical ballet, Rob auditioned for the Australian Ballet School in his final years of high school. But the prestigious academy rejected him. “I was absolutely heartbroken,” he said. Luckily, his drama teacher offered him different pathway: into the world of musical theatre. “He said, ‘You can already sing and dance’,” Rob said. “‘You just have to learn to act, but I 16 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 18 June, 2021

can help you there’.” Rob got into Victorian College of the Arts, and went on to act in major productions at venues including Sydney Opera House, tour Australia and, later, perform on London’s West End. “Just as I came back to Australia to visit my family, COVID-19 hit,” he said. By that time The Palais had been “completely dark for four years” after the last game of bingo in February 2016, with electronic gaming drawing players away, Rob said. “The building was ready to fall over. “Certain walls needed to be completely rebuilt. The bathrooms were not up to standard. It needed so much love and work.” Frank had put the building up for sale in 2017. “We very nearly just went, ‘we don’t want to do this any more’,” Rob said. “Then we decided to make something of it and turn it into the theatre it deserves to be, again.” With COVID-19 plaguing the world, and Rob unable to return to London and continue

his theatre career, he decided to join his brothers and dad in redeveloping The Palais. “A battle plan had to be made,” he said. “Let’s put all my energy into the Palais and get it going.” He used his connections in the Australian theatre industry to enlist top professionals out of work due to COVID-19. Their expertise on the revamp and restoration was a silver lining of the pandemic, Rob said. Projects such as simply raising the light trusses had already restored some of The Palais’ former grandeur, he said. “Lighting’s one of those big factors for actors feeling like, ‘wow, we’re in a performance space now’.” Last year workers peeled back the old bingo carpet, which over decades had protected the “beautiful” parquetry floor from all but “a little bit of termite action” over the decades, Rob said. They then restored and revarnished the almost century-old wooden floor. “It looks stunning,” Rob said.

“That was where bands played and people danced.” Next Saturday, June 26, Rob will again take centre stage at The Palais as the producer of House of Dreams, which throws the venue’s doors open again. Visitors will hear the echoes of bands from days past, as they traverse up the stairs and across the parquetry floor. Co-produced by Mia Morrissey, with choreographer Zoee Marsh and filmmaker Jackson Bews, the “memory project” shares the stories of those who worked, played, danced and met partners at The Palais. The project, supported by a council COVID-19 art grants program, is based on interviews of locals who were part of The Palais’ “tapestry” from the ’50s to ’80s. Rob also hopes to show visitors a glimpse of The Palais’ future and the vision of Frank, who recently turned 70 but shuns the spotlight. “The theatre is a real grand representation of how he feels about the arts – he wants to see it thrive,” he said.

ENTERTAINMENT

Tribute to music royalty By Justin Flynn Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne, George Harrison and Tom Petty were already music royalty before joining together in the 1980s to form the ultimate supergroup, The Traveling Wilburys. Their debut album ‘Volume 1’ won the 1990 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance, although the band never performed live. A who’s who of Aussie rock is re-creating the sounds of The Traveling Wilburys through a series of shows and it’s coming to Geelong. Nick Barker, Brian Mannix, JR Reyne, Bernard Curry and Taylor Sheridan are taking their show, The End of the Line, to Costa Hall. “It’s a narrated concert if that makes any sense,” Barker, a veteran singer-songwriter on the Aussie music scene, says. “We’re not all dressing up as the Traveling Wilburys and each playing a role.

‘‘

try and cherry pick the really interesting stuff

’’

- Nick Barker “The way I describe it is you try and let people know at least five more things about The Traveling Wilburys after the concert than they did before it. You just try and cherry pick the really interesting stuff.” And while none of the members of the Aussie version play a specific WIlbury role, Barker says they tended to gravitate towards their favourite artist anyway. “I like to think that I’m Tom Petty but I’ve been thinking that for years in my delusional state,” he says. “I was always a Tom Petty guy. I was never a massive Bob Dylan fan if I’m honest. “I lobbied hard to get the Tom Petty songs. In a way, unwittingly I am doing the Tom Petty part and I guess Brian unwittingly is trying to do the Bob Dylan stuff. “It was never by design though. It was just the way things worked out. “It’s vocal style too. Tom Petty’s voice suits me to a tee, Bob Dylan seems to suit Brian for some bizarre reason and JR’s got a beautiful voice and he tends to take the George Harrison role. “Anyone who can sing well will do the George Harrison and Jeff Lynne and the hacky rock stuff is me and Brian.” Barker says there are no egos within their group despite their high standing in the music industry. “I don’t really have one anymore,” he says. “The longer you’re in the music industry you need to be humble in order to survive. “People with big egos don’t seem to last unless of course they are massive artists and

then they can live in the bubble but when you’re out just playing pubs for 20 years like I have, your ego is the first thing to go.” Barker says the audience at The End of the Line can expect some surprises. “Brian Mannix’s ability to sing like Bob Dylan,” he says.

“What won’t surprise is how funny the guy is. He’s a bit of a jack in the box Brian. “We’ve got facts we need to stick to and he always goes off script so it’s really funny. “What surprised me the most was how good the tracks are that you don’t know. We play quite a few of them.

“It didn’t surprise me that much, these people are incredible songwriters, but it just surprised me that I’d never really heard the album tracks before.” The End of the Line is at Geelong Arts Centre (Costa Hall) on Saturday, July 3 at 8pm. Tickets at geelongartscentre.org.au.

Scott lights up film festival Bellarine Lighthouse Films is holding a three-day mid-winter film feast in Queenscliff. The program offers five fine-art films, special guests and the chance to mingle and discuss the intricacies of the inspired film program over a glass of wine and food offerings with friends and fellow festival-goers. The legendary queen of comedy and household fixture of the Australian screen, Denise Scott will open the festival with her unique personality and iconic brand of award-winning humour. “Ahoy Queenscliff and surrounds – I am so excited to be performing at the opening night of the Bellarine Lighthouse Film Festival,” Scott said. “I mean to say I’ll get to see a fine film, drink a local pinot noir, eat a gourmet snack, and next

morning pop on my bikini, grab my board and catch a wave, while I watch the sunrise. What’s not to love? See youse all there.” Monica Clemow, part of the programming team at Bellarine Lighthouse Films, said it was exciting to have Scott open the festivities. “What better way to shake off the post-COVID-19 lockdown and winter blues than to have Denise Scott tickle our funny bones and liven our spirits,” she said. “Support from the Borough of Queenscliffe this year has also allowed the festival to stretch its wings and offer a Q&A session with filmmaker Genevieve Bailey after the screening of Happy Sad Man on Sunday.” This year’s festival is an eclectic mix of international and Australian stories centered around themes of male-centric happiness,

family dynamics and an edgy psychological drama about gender and power politics. The full festival program, film synopsis and trailers can be viewed at bellarinelighthousefilms.com Purchase a weekend pass for $90 (includes opening night) or attend a single session from $17. Tickets are on sale now online at www. bellarinelighthousefilms.com – follow the links to TryBooking. The festival is from June 25 to 27 at Queenscliff Town Hall.

He also has some advice for anyone who’s about to buy or sell a car. “We encourage them to talk to us first.

SPORT Cam Guthrie a likely in for titanic midfield clash Reigning Cats best-and-fairest Cam Guthrie appears set to return for a clash of two titanic midfields when Geelong takes on Western Bulldogs tonight. “They’re all a little bit different,” Cats coach Chris Scott said of the Bulldog’s star-studded midfield during a press conference on Wednesday. “Some clubs have put some work into their damaging ball-users behind the ball, Bailey Dale, Caleb Daniel – Daniel’s moved into the midfield a little bit more. “[Marcus] Bontempelli might be the best player in the competition, [Jack] Macrae’s the leading disposal winner in the competition and Libba [Tom Liberatore] is one of the better

contested stoppage players. That’s not even thinking about their players that are ahead of the ball.” In one of just two losses for the Bulldogs this year, Melbourne’s James Harmes held Liberatore to a season-low 16 disposals. But Scott declined to say if Mark O’Connor, who held reigning Brownlow medallist Lachie Neale to the same number earlier this year, would tag Liberatore. “We’ll prioritise balance over anything,” he said. “If you focus your attention on one of them, the rest of them get you.” The Bulldogs will have their own challenge containing the Cats’ in-form three-headed goalkicking monster of Tom Hawkins, Jeremy

Cameron and Gary Rohan. Cam Guthrie looks likely to return from a shoulder injury, as Scott forecast last week. Scott said the Cats would be “more cautious” with Gryan Miers returning from a fractured fibula, with the small forward missing a “fair bit of running” due to the leg injury. He said the Cats were taking a longer-term approach, rather than solely getting “locked into what the best 22 is” each week. “Cohesion’s important, but more important than that is having a big group of capable players,” he said. “I don’t think the team we pick week-to-week is a referendum on what we consider to be the very best team that we can pick down the track.”

Geelong Lawn wins flag LOCAL TENNIS

Scott indicated promising midfielder Quinton Narkle was on the verge of forcing his way back into the senior side. “When we are close to full availability it’s a hard midfield to get into, but I think he’s got the capacity to force his way into our team irrespective of who’s available.” State government on Wednesday announced a crowd of 7000 would be allowed at the game, drawing a mixed response from Scott. “I think 7000 is better than none,” he said. “It’s incredibly disappointing that we can’t get more people here in the environment that we find ourselves in in regional Victoria.” Luke Voogt

Peri Stavropoulos Geelong Lawn won the top local women’s premiership after the Ladies Midweek grand finals went ahead on Tuesday due to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Geelong Lawn Green took the first two hard-fought sets 7-6, 6-4 against Surfcoast Black, which ultimately proved the difference with the next four evenly split. Nine sections in total took to the court, with minor premiers facing ladder runners-up after restrictions forced the cancellation of last week’s preliminary finals. Section 2: Flag favourite Point Lonsdale redeemed their shock 0-5 loss to Geelong Lawn Pink by winning all six sets and dropping just eight games. Point Lonsdale dominated with the exception of Barbara Scanlon and Cath Morgan, who went down valiantly for Pink 4-6. Section 3: Drysdale backed up their first semi win over Highton in what was looking like a very tight match. After the first four sets, the teams were tied at two sets and 19 games apiece. But Drysdale steeled their nerve and took the final two, both 6-1, to beat the minor premiers. Section 4: Barwon Heads showed why they were flag favourites defeating Surfcoast Yellow. Barwon Heads took the first two sets in tight 6-4 battles then followed up with a 6-0 win before Surfcoast hit back in the fourth 6-1. Coming from behind was always going to be tough for Surfcoast away from home, and Barwon Heads took the final two 6-3 and 7-5 to secure the premiership. Section 5: Point Lonsdale and Surfcoast Torquay’s thrilling grand final went to a seventh set – unsurprising, given only percentage separated the teams at the end of the home and away season. Point Lonsdale started well at home taking the first two sets 6-3, 6-4, but Surfcoast took the next two 6-4, 6-1 to move two games ahead. Point Lonsdale took the lead with a 6-2 win in the fifth but Surfcoast fought back hard to take the last 6-4, tying the match at three sets, 27 games each. Surfcoast’s Loretta Fisher and Lesley Nock defeated Point Lonsdale’s Tamara Gaylard and Rebecca Milburn in a thrilling 6-4 decider. Section 6: Highton Blue almost pulled off a nail-biting comeback against Anglesea. Highton took the first 6-3 but Anglesea stunned them winning the next three 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, for a three-set, six-game buffer. The Highton ladies showed their class, winning the final two 6-3, 7-5, drawing level on sets and falling just one game short of sending the match to a tiebreak set. Section 7: Only one point separated Barwon Heads White and St Stephens at the end of the season, and both teams were locked at two sets, 18 games in a predictably thrilling grand final. But St Stephens held their nerve, taking the final two 6-2, 6-3 for the flag. 22 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 18 June, 2021

Section 8: Despite Western Heights Uniting finishing 14.5 points clear of second-placed St Mary’s on the ladder, the side’s two clashes both finished at three-sets all, with games deciding the result. The teams did not disappoint in the grand final, with yet another three-set-all result. The first two sets went for an hour, with both decided in tie-breaks, one each way. St Mary’s looked like they might steal the win taking the next two 6-4, 7-5.

But Western Heights would not be denied, powering through a tired St Mary’s 6-1, 6-0 to claim the premiership by seven games. Section 9: Geelong West and St Mary’s fought for top honours in this section all season. Geelong West had the edge over St Mary’s in both their previous encounters. But St Mary’s won when it counted most. They took the first two sets 6-1, 6-2 and eventually won the match 5-1 for the premiership.

Some quality fishing has been on offer over the past week with the inner harbour a hot spot. Garfish are in abundance at the moment with plenty of locations holding an abundance of fish. Grammar School Lagoon, Western Beach, Cunningham Pier and the Geelong Yacht Club all holding tonnes of fish – Grammar School is holding the better average size. Burley is key to get the school to where you’re fishing, it shouldn’t take too long until they show up after throwing that first handful in. Silverfish, prawns and pipis are all fantastic baits to run, but be sure to cut them into really small pieces and suspend them under a pencil float. King George whiting still remain a popular target along the Bellarine, with plenty of boats heading out in search of a feed. Unfortunately, the amount of boat traffic on the water has made the fishing tricky but boats able to find their own bit of water to fish, away from the crowds, managed to score themselves a feed. Calamari were holding in great numbers in similar areas all the way around the Bellarine, anywhere along the coastline over a weed bed ranging between 2.5 and 4 metres of water is prime ground to start looking, with natural-coloured jigs working well. The Oil Rig off Port Campbell has been a hot spot the past few weeks with barrel tuna ranging between 60 – 120kg. Trolling skirted lures has been most effective with plenty of boats also getting them cubing. Just be cautious as you must remain 500m from the rig and be sure to plan your trip as it’s a big run. Portland has been fishing very well with the ease in weather with tuna, makos and assorted reef fish all finding their ways to the cleaning tables. School tuna are holding in great numbers off the shelf towards the horse shoe in 350m of water. Diving lures and skirted lures have been working very well. Mako sharks are also hanging around in good numbers inside and just on the shelf.
