With restrictions easing, Love Central Geelong is trying to get visitors back to the city with its Welcome Back Weekend. Popular meeting places including Johnstone Park, Customs House lawn, Steampacket Gardens and Traansvaal Square have had picnic circles painted to encourage the community to get together for socially-distanced picnics. To keep passers-by entertained, there will also be on-street entertainment. Acoustic musicians and roving performers will be along the city streets, while there will also be themed musical entertainment at the picnic spots. The weekend will be capped off with a treasure hunt. There have been 50 mini-hearts hidden around the city, with anyone who finds one receiving a prize.

Welcome back Melburnians By Ash Bolt Geelong will be able to welcome back Melburnians and hospitality venues will be able to seat more customers this weekend, with restrictions set to ease tonight. Premier Daniel Andrews announced last Sunday that the state was set to hit its 80 per cent double dose vaccination target today, almost a week ahead of schedule, allowing Victoria to take its next step on the roadmap. From 6pm, regional Victoria and Melbourne will be united, allowing Melburnians to return to Geelong for the first time in months. Tourism Greater Geelong and The Bellarine executive director Brett Ince said there was a

sense of relief among tourism and hospitality businesses to have clarity on the future. “We’re really exciting that we will be able to open up again and particularly with the timing ahead of the Melbourne Cup long weekend,” he said. “We know that the Melbourne Cup long weekend is historically a strong weekend for both accommodation providers and hospitality businesses. “Since the announcement, we’ve already seen a high number of bookings. People are looking forward to catching up with family and friends again and coming back out to stay at their holiday homes.” Mr Ince said it had been tough for the industry, with the region relying heavily on visitors from Melbourne.

“In a normal year, 80 per cent of our visitors are from Victoria and about half of those come from Melbourne,” he said. “To have that turned off has been extremely challenging. “The positive is there has been pent up demand to visit the region, so we’re expecting a bumper weekend and … hopefully that will continue into a blockbuster summer.” Mr Ince said the important message was to enjoy the new freedom and support businesses. “It’s going to be busy so it’s important to book ahead and be kind to businesses,” he said. “It’s going to take businesses time to get going again, particularly with staffing, so we’re just asking everyone to be kind.” Mr Andrews also announced a significant

change to the existing roadmap, with further restrictions now set to ease when the state hits 90 per cent of people aged 12 and over fully vaccinated. It is expected the state could hit that mark by November 24. At that point, patron caps and density quotas will be removed for all settings, and masks will only be mandatory indoors in some high-risk settings, including hospitals, aged care, public transport and justice and correctional facilities. There will be no restrictions for indoor and outdoor events provided they follow COVID-safe rules including vaccination requirements. There will also be no limits on gatherings at private homes.

Bid to reduce gambling harm By Ash Bolt The City of Greater Geelong is calling on the community to share its views on a new policy designed to reduce the harms of gambling across the region. More $71.6 million has been lost to poker machines across Geelong in 2021 alone, according to data from the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation, despite gaming venues’ operation being limited by the pandemic. It is estimated the losses from other forms

of gambling exceed poker machine losses, with data estimating $129 million was lost to non-poker machine gambling in Geelong across the 2018-19 financial year. At Tuesday’s council meeting, the council voted to put its draft Gambling Harm Minimisation Policy out for public comment. The policy focuses on reducing harm by promoting alternatives to gambling, evidence-based planning and community connection. The policy includes commitments to investing in community infrastructure,

community programs and activities as alternatives to all forms of gambling; support community and sporting clubs to divest themselves of poker machines and reliance on gambling revenue; and installing internet filtering to prevent access to gambling sites on the city’s public WiFi. The policy would also ban the council from holding meetings, social or community events at venues that have poker machines and ban gambling advertising at council-owned facilities. Greater Geelong community health and aged care portfolio chairwoman Sarah Mansfield

said while gambling was a legal activity, it could lead to wide-ranging negative effects for the community. “This draft policy will help us gather more data on just how much gambling is embedded in the community and the degree to which clubs and organisations rely on this source of income,” Cr Mansfield said. There are currently 26 venues across Geelong with poker machines, centred mostly around the CBD and northern suburbs. The community is encouraged to have its say at yoursay.geelongaustralia.com.au.

Teens charged Geelong crime investigation unit detectives have charged three teenage girls over an alleged assault at the waterfront at the weekend. Police said witnesses reported seeing a group of girls approach a 15-year-old girl near the waterfront between 7.30pm and 8pm on Saturday. Police alleged the girls demanded the victim hand over her mobile phone before seriously assaulting her. The victim was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A 17-year-old Grovedale girl was charged with robbery and assault offences, while a 16-year-old Whittington girl was charged with robbery, affray and assault by kicking. A 17-year-old from Bell Park was charged with affray, robbery, assault with intent to rob, assault in company, assault by kicking and committing offences while on bail.

Performers set to liven up Geelong Live music, circus theatre, puppet shows, and other roving performers will entertain shopping and dining precincts across Greater Geelong for the remainder of the year. The City of Greater Geelong has restarted the It’s Our Backyard campaign to enliven eight different precincts with street performers. Performers will entertain visitors to the Geelong Waterfront, Pakington Street, Lara, Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove, Portarlington, Highton and Belmont, over the next few months. Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said the extension of the program’s multi-faceted

support measures would be welcomed by the business community. “We’ve had great feedback from our earlier entertainment initiatives, so it’s great that we can bring this back as our economy re-opens further through spring and summer,” he said. “Aided by the warmer weather, our open-air dining areas and public spaces will be attractive places for people to socialise and the roving performers will further add to the atmosphere.” The full program will run until December 31, with performances to have a Christmas element from November 15. One performer who will be putting on a

show for the community is singer-songwriter Rach Brennan. “The last 12 months has been an emotional rollercoaster for those in the music industry,” she said. “I feel really lucky to have played my final show with my band Rach Brennan and The Pines in June at the Barwon Club in between the madness of cancelling and rescheduling gigs. Other tours I’ve worked on in the second half of 2021 have been rescheduled up to three times, ending with most shows cancelled to avoid further disappointment. “It’s honestly such a huge blow to our scene.” Details: itsourbackyard.com.au.

Young people in the Geelong region looking to make a difference in their community have been encouraged to put their hand up and join the 2022 Youth Council. The Youth Council allows people aged between 12 and 17 years old to get involved with the council. “Youth Council is a really incredible opportunity for young people in our region to learn more about the process of local government while informing, and actually influencing, council decisions for young people in Greater Geelong,” deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said. Nominations are open until November 12. Nominate online at geelongaustralia. com.au/youthcouncil/

Three charged over burglaries By Ash Bolt Detectives from Geelong Tasking and Crime Intervention Taskforce and Brimbank Crime Investigation Unit have arrested three people over a series of commercial burglaries across Geelong and Melbourne’s western suburbs. Police alleged the trio targeted 50 commercial properties, including factories, warehouses, scrap yards, service stations and shops, between July 5 and October 14, stealing around $250,000 worth of property. Detectives executed search warrants in Norlane, Corio and Burnside last Wednesday and arrested three men in relation to the

burglaries. A 35-year-old man from Norlane was charged with 20 counts of burglary, three counts of theft of motor vehicle, one count of handling stolen goods and multiple driving and bail offences. A 45-year-old man from Corio was charged with six counts of burglary. Both were remanded to face Geelong Magistrates Court on November 5. A 34-year-old man from Burnside was arrested on Thursday and charged with three counts of handling stolen goods. He was remanded to appear before Sunshine Magistrates Court on November 5. Police seized a collection of allegedly stolen

items during the property searches, including electrical cable worth about $100,000, copper piping, tools, mobile phones, a drone, clothing and numerous collectable Pokemon cards. During a search of the Corio property, police also seized around 30 grams of methamphetamine and $3070 cash from a vehicle. That led police to charge a 32-year-old man from Corio with drug trafficking, possession and dealing with property suspected to be the proceeds of crime offences. He was bailed to appear before Geelong Magistrates Court on February 11 next year. His charges were not related to the commercial burglaries.

We will remember them in person With restrictions easing this week, the Torquay RSL has ramped up its preparation for Remembrance Day. This year the community will be able to attend Remembrance Day commemorative services in person, after COVID-19 restrictions forced RSL’s to cancel events or move them online last year. The Torquay RSL branch will hold its service at Point Danger at the recently refurbished memorials from 10.40am. At the service, Torquay RSL members who have died during pandemic will be named and local schoolchildren will lay a wreath for each.

We must never forget how much we owe to them - Bob Tyler

’’

“This year, the 11th of November will be a very special time for all Australians, especially the veterans of the Afghanistan war which ended this year,” Torquay RSL president Bob Tyler said. “At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, people in towns and cities throughout Australia pause to remember the sacrifices made by so many in times of war. “It is on Remembrance Day, above all other days, that we recall the women and men who, through personal sacrifices, contributed to the evolution and identity of our country, Australia. “We must never forget how much we owe to them. “People wearing the red poppy provide a sign that we are not forgetting them.” Red poppies will start to go on sale in the coming days ahead of Remembrance Day, although sellers are still restricted because of COVID. However poppies will be available at the Torquay Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings until Remembrance Day. Sellers will also be on the street near supermarkets in mid Torquay and Torquay North from November 1.

knowing every dollar raised helps ex-service people and their families when they need,” he said.

“This is a fantastic result following a protracted, joint investigation into a large series of burglaries that have had a profound impact on business owners,” Geelong Police detective senior sergeant Stephan Pucar said. It was alleged the men committed 30 burglaries in Geelong, including the theft of $11,000 worth of electronic equipment from a retailer in Corio on September 6. It was also alleged the men committed four burglaries on October 3, targeting a sports store in South Geelong, a service station in Batesford, a liquor store in Highton and a metal factory in North Geelong.

City gets $1m to get outside The City of Greater Geelong will receive almost $1 million of state government funding to help activate outdoor spaces as Victoria reaches its vaccination targets. The state government has funded a $40 million COVIDSafe Outdoor Activation Fund to help local governments create more outdoor areas for residents to enjoy safely. The fund is divided into two streams, with just over half of the funding set aside to install public furniture, art and entertainment and landscaping to attract visitors and support businesses. The rest of the funding will allow local governments to establish permanent and semi-permanent outdoor precincts. South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman said the City of Greater Geelong had received $975,000 under the fund, while the Surf Coast Shire had received $500,000. Mr Cheeseman said the funding would allow the councils to support businesses, such as cafés and restaurants, to provide their services outdoors. “Outdoor dining last summer was embraced by our community,” he said. “I am looking forward to seeing even more local businesses supported by this fantastic initiative and even more people being able to get out and about safely as we open up.” The funding will be complemented with a $14.5 million voucher program designed to help businesses adapt to outdoor services. Under the COVIDSafe Outdoor Activation Voucher Program, more than 7000 businesses will be able to receive a $2000 grant if they spend that much to support initiatives such as outdoor hospitality.

Support for medical manufacturing business to expand A Geelong-based medical device manufacturer has received a boost from the state government, allowing it to create 100 new jobs and expand its business. Regional Development Minister Mary-Anne Thomas and Lara MP John Eren visited Care Essentials’ headquarters last week to announce the investment through the government’s Regional Jobs Fund. Through the investment, the company will be able to install state-of-the-art machinery to manufacture up to six million warming blankets, which are used on patients undergoing surgeries, per year. Ms Thomas said the project would create 100 new full-time jobs over three years across engineering, maintenance, finance and payroll

and result in $6.7 million extra in the Geelong economy through wages. “This project will boost Geelong’s economy,

create highly skilled jobs and showcase world-class medical manufacturing products at a critical time during the pandemic,” she said. “Care Essentials is a pioneer in the medical manufacturing space in Geelong – its innovation has been recognised throughout the world. This is a regional jobs success story and I am pleased to see that the company is choosing to base its operations locally.” Last year, Care Essentials played an important role during the pandemic, as it pivoted its operations to produce face masks. Now with 10 machines, the company supplied three million single-use masks for the community and healthcare workers across the state.

The pivot saw the business recognised at Victoria’s National Export Awards recently. Mr Eren said it was pleasing to see the government support manufacturing in Geelong. “Geelong is home to some of Victoria’s best manufacturers and we’ll do all we can to support them,” he said. “I’m pleased to see the entrepreneurship of Care Essentials and look forward to seeing what it achieves next.” The Regional Jobs Fund is part of the government’s Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Fund, which aims to help businesses create jobs in regional Victoria, support community projects and back councils to build the infrastructure that locals and visitors need.

Littering fine upheld A man’s attempt to get off a littering fine has seen him hit with legal costs more than double the original fine. The Hopetoun Park man challenged the $330 fine he received after his passenger dropped baby wipes in a Wallington carpark last year in the Geelong Magistrates Court, but was unsuccessful. The court did not record a conviction, but fined him the original $330 and ordered him to pay the EPA’s legal costs of $855.47.

Several Golden Plains Shire buildings are benefiting from a partnership with the Berrybank Wind Farm. As part of the wind farm’s community engagement and benefit sharing plan, solar panels have been installed on seven shire-managed buildings, including the Inverleigh Early Learning Centre and the Bannockburn Family Services Centre. The 195 solar panels are expected to reduce the carbon footprint of the community by 98.5 tonnes per year. The $170,500 solar program from Berrybank Wind Farm’s developers Global Power Generation Australia will also see solar systems installed on low-income housing in the shire. Golden Plains Shire mayor Helena Kirby said she was pleased to see the panels at the community facilities. “Council was very pleased to work with

Global Power Generation Australia to see seven of our community facilities in Meredith, Scarsdale, Inverleigh, Haddon, Teesdale and Bannockburn go solar,” she said. “Council is committed to playing our part in reducing the emissions, and it’s great to see our community benefiting with more wind and solar energy thanks to the Berrybank Wind Farm.” Berrybank Wind Farm community engagement officer Nathan Micallef said GPG was looking to leave a lasting positive impact on the communities surrounding the wind farm. “In addition to reducing carbon emissions, the installation of rooftop solar systems to local community facilities and low-income housing will significantly decrease their electricity bills,” he said.

Police will patrol Victoria’s major roads across the Melbourne Cup weekend as travel restrictions ease. Operation Compass will run statewide from Friday to Tuesday, as well as Friday to Sunday next week. Police are anticipating an influx of travel to regional areas and are warning drivers increased traffic combined with long hours behind the wheel and a deterioration in driving skills could be a recipe for disaster.

Booster shots The Therapeutic Goods Administration has approved a booster dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for individuals aged 18 years and older. The approval means everyone who has been fully vaccinated will be able to receive a Pfizer booster six months after their second dose, regardless of what vaccine they originally got.

Bike track campaign a success By Justin Flynn Kid power has prevailed, with Barwon Heads set to receive a bike discovery area and a host of upgrades to its popular Village Park. City of Greater Geelong announced the new bike track, new bowls pavilion and greater protection of Moonah woodlands in the adopted master plan for the Barwon Heads Village Park. Barwon Heads youngsters campaigned to the council for a bike track near the ‘pirate park’ after having to build their own jumps at various points around the town. Among other changes to the Village Park, the tennis pavilion will be revamped, an

upgrade is proposed for the shared cricket, soccer and footy pavilion, a combination of dog on/off lead and dog free areas have been recommended, and a potential site has been identified for a Petanque (similar to lawn bowls) piste. Council has contributed $500,000 towards the Barwon Heads Bowls Club Pavilion redevelopment, supported by matching funding from the Commonwealth government and $200,000 from the Victorian government. The redevelopment of the tennis pavilion is being funded with $285,000 from the Victorian government. Freddie led a group of local youngsters to urge council to have the bike jumps installed.

“We will all make it the best track because we want it so badly and have waited for it to be built properly for so long,” he said. “Everyone has heaps of ideas and can now use those plans themselves (to build it) into a track that others can use too.” Council said the community embraced the consultation period starting in April for the draft master plan, resulting in 282 contributions through the Your Say survey, social media posts and attendance at drop-in sessions. More than 80 per cent of survey respondents supported the plan’s vision and goals, while more than 70 per cent backed the management zones and recommendations.

Let pets come to work: MP

Corangamite MP Libby Coker and Evan with his speech. (Supplied)

Youngster’s plea on climate change The passionate plea of nine-year-old Anglesea boy Evan to take action on climate change for the benefit of the younger generation was given voice in Federal Parliament last week. Evan’s speech, which called on everyone to “stop polluting this world”, was read in parliament by Corangamite MP Libby Coker as part of the Raise Our Voice Australia campaign. The campaign aimed to increase the diversity of voices in decision-making bodies, like parliament, with Ms Coker receiving submissions from many younger constituents. “I was so impressed by the standard of the speeches submitted by young people from cross my electorate. It tells me that we have an

articulate, thoughtful generation of potential future community leaders coming along,” Ms Coker said. “Evan’s speech especially caught my eye because it resonated with my own thoughts on protecting the environment. He touched on promoting renewable energy, reducing carbon emissions, and preserving our natural environment. “Evan’s speech finished with a call to action – ‘please take action for the people of my age’. That’s a sentiment everyone, especially those with young children, would echo and support.” In his speech, Evan said he was “worried about the world I am growing up in”. “I think the best way to stop polluting is to

do helpful things for our environment. There are loads of things we can do including making and using renewable energy such as solar, use of electric cars and building up not across,” he said. “Renewable energy reduces the use of fossil fuels that create carbon emissions and destroys our natural seas and land. “I think we should build up not across so we don’t continue to destroy our natural environment. By building up it means we don’t use up farming land and destroy more trees. Trees are important for catching carbon emissions.”

A Geelong-based MP has called on the state government to promote pet-friendly workplaces as people begin to return to the office after 18 months of working from home. Western Victoria MP Andy Meddick, who represents the Animal Justice Party, introduced a motion into parliament on Tuesday to allow pets in workplaces. Mr Meddick said animal behaviourists had raised concerns about a spike in separation anxiety and confusion as people returned to work and allowing pets in offices would reduce animals’ stress while also keeping workers happy. “Victoria has finally been released from lockdown. After 262 days of home isolation, our pets are more used to having us at home than ever before,” he said. “The 262 days we spent in lockdown might have been some of our worst, but arguably, they were some of the best for our companion animals. “As life returns to normal and workers head back to the office, we are expecting a huge increase in separation anxiety and stress from our furry best friends. “But there is a simple solution. The pandemic has changed the way we work and our pets shouldn’t be left behind. “I am calling for more Victorian workplaces … to be made pet-friendly. “Pet-friendly workplace policy benefits all of us. Having our companion animals around is not only good for their own mental health and stimulation, but ours too. Allowing pets in the workplace is proven to lower stress levels, increase happiness and morale, and even boost productivity. “I hope that as a starting point, the Parliament House precinct can set an example and be made friendlier to our pets – they are family after all.”

Banking on boosting tourism jobs across regional areas Hospitality and tourism businesses in Geelong, Bellarine and along the Great Ocean Road will be given a boost to find workers over the peak summer period through a new state government job-matching pilot program. Regional Development Minister Mary-Anne Thomas visited Fyansford’s Provenance Wines on Thursday to launch the Tourism Jobs Bank, a trial program designed to link workers with jobs over the peak season. The program has been supported with a $400,000 investment from the government’s Regional Recovery Fund. Ms Thomas said demand for hospitality

workers in the Barwon region during summer was always high, but securing staff had been more difficult with the pandemic closing the border to international backpackers. “We’re looking to link employers with the jobseekers they need – whether that is baristas, bar staff or beauticians – supporting a successful summer season for the region’s vibrant tourism sector,” she said. “The Tourism Jobs Bank will support businesses and it will be a boon for workers looking for rewarding work and to build their skills.” The Tourism Jobs Bank will help the region’s

tourism and hospitality businesses find skilled staff and offer training to ensure staff have a wide range of skills and can support businesses with payroll and staff management systems. Geelong-based employment agency Direct Recruitment is a partner in the pilot and will use the jobs bank to match employers with candidates. Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism and Tourism Greater Geelong and The Bellarine are also partnering with the state government to deliver the program. Geelong MP Christine Couzens said the program would help ease the burden on

businesses who are expecting a big summer as Victoria meets its vaccination targets and restrictions on travel lift. Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism general manager Liz Price said the program was about taking pressure off business. The pilot project will include a digital and regional marketing campaign targeting tourism and hospitality businesses in need of summer staff and a wide range of jobseekers interested in finding work in the region.

Raising the funds to fight MND Chris Hall has raised more than $40,000 for research into a cure for motor neurone disease. The Leopold resident talks to Ash Bolt about his passion for fundraising and how it all began.

hris Hall has made it his life goal to do what he can to ensure a cure for motor neurone disease (MND) is found. The Leopold man was first impacted by the disease when a colleague was diagnosed with MND six years ago, and since then raising funds for research has been his passion. Despite the challenges of the past two years, his efforts have continued and he has ticked over $40,000 raised. “Back in 2015 I was doing volunteer work at the McKellar Centre and I got to know some of the nurses out there pretty well,” Chris says. “There was one nurse I got to know quite well when she’d give out the flu jabs each year and just one year she wasn’t there anymore. “I asked where she was and they told me she had MND. “I had never heard about MND, so I did some research to find out more. “It was really sad because there was is no cure and there is no treatment, so to think that there’s people out there going through that, without that hope, I just knew I wanted I wanted to raise some money. “Surely if we can raise enough money for research they’ll eventually be able to find a cure.”

That would be really scary to go through ... I’m going to keep doing what I am doing until there is a cure - Chris Hall

Chris started his fundraising small, setting up a GoFundMe page with a target to raise $1500. “When people found out what I was raising money for, they were very supportive and I was able to hit that target within a couple of months,” he says. “So I just kept updating my target. “I ended up raising just over $10,000 in that first year and I was really happy with that. “But I thought if I could do that once, why couldn’t I do that again every year? “Unfortunately with COVID the last two years, I haven’t been able to quite get there, but I’m really happy with what I have been able to raise. “It’s just over $40,000 now since 2015, which I’ve done pretty much on my own through music events, trivia nights, raffles. “I tried to think of doing any fundraiser that I could.” Chris, who has spina bifida and uses a wheelchair, says the support he had received with his own medical issues was the catalyst for his commitment to giving back. “I’ve always had a passion for helping other people I suppose because when I was a child I had a lot of help with my illness,” he says. “My illness has nothing to do with MND, so people do often ask why I am I fundraising for MND and not for my disability, which is spina bifida. “But we already know what causes it, which we don’t for MND. “And then knowing someone that has got something like that, that spurred me on to try and help raise as much money as I could. “I just want there to be a cure or a treatment for this disease because it is a scary thing to have.” Motor neurone disease is a group of diseases that affect the motor nerves, which are responsible for movement. As the disease affects the nerves, or motor neurons, they die off and muscles get weaker, limiting the person’s ability to use their muscles and eventually leading to paralysis. It is a progressive disease that starts slowly and gets worse over time, with early symptoms including weakness in the hands and troubles with grip, slurred speech and muscles twitches. 8 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 29 October, 2021

However researches have yet been unable to determine what causes MND or a way to treat it. Chris says that is the scariest part of the disease. “From what I now know, while the body outside starts failing, your brain on the inside is still the same,” he says. “That would be really scary to go through. “So I’m going to keep doing what I am doing until there is a cure, even if that’s another 10 years away.” Chris says his most memorable fundraiser was the very first music event he held. “I love music so I did my first music fundraiser four years ago at the Black Hatt Hotel,” he says. “I got some local small bands together, a couple of Melbourne bands, and they donated their time. “We had four bands and they played for about six or seven hours, while we had a meal. “Domino’s then donated some pizzas. The venue donated their time. Every little bit helped. “There wasn’t a lot of people that turned up, there might have been 20 or 30 people, but it was a really good fundraiser. “We raised probably $4000 just from donations and the food, which was a lot more than I was expecting. “It’s those moments when you realise how generous people can be in a small community.” However, like for some many people, the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown a spanner into the works for Chris’ fundraising. Without being able to hold as many in-person fundraisers over the past 18 months, he says it has been tough but he was looking forward to getting back into it. “It’s been really difficult to keep going with the lockdowns,” he says.

“I was really happy with that and thankful that people still donated, because a lot of people and businesses were doing it tough. “I’m hoping to start planning something for early next year now, but it’s tough when there’s still restrictions around. “I might have an online fundraiser like a trivia night or something simple, but I’m looking forward to when I can get back to doing some proper events again.” The amount of time and effort Chris has put into fundraising has not gone unnoticed either, as he received a Pride of Australia award in 2018. He says while he didn’t do it for the award, receiving the honour was one of his proudest moments. “The award is nice and it gives you a boost that you’re doing the right thing,” he says. “It’s really only myself, with the help of a few people behind the scenes, organising the fundraisers, so it’s a big job [and] I hate saying it but for someone in a wheelchair to be able to do that, to me that is a huge achievement. “I’m really proud of what I have been able to achieve.” Chris says his other greatest moment came when he had the chance to meet former footballer and Australia’s most notable MND campaigner, Neale Daniher. “That was probably one of the best days of my life,” he says. “Getting to meet someone that’s raised the millions of dollars that he has, and being able to talk to him as well [was special]. “Even as a footballer, I liked watching him but what he has done for MND is amazing. “It was such an awesome moment.” Anyone wanting to support Chris can donate at chuffed.org/project/wheel4mnd or join his Facebook group Wheel 4 MND.

“I was able to get one music fundraiser out between the lockdowns, after it was postponed a couple of times. “I usually do a big event in November around my birthday, but we had to wait until January to do that one, which worked alright because it was the five-year anniversary of when I started. “I also did things like the ice bucket challenge, which I do every year, and I grew and shaved my beard and things like that. “I normally set myself a target of $1000 for things like that, but this year money was tighter for people as you would expect but I was still able to raise $700.

THE CITY OF GREATER GEELONG IS PROUDLY LOCATED ON

WADAWURRUNG COUNTRY Friday, 29 October, 2021 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 9

NEWS GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

MY GEELONG With Christmas not too far away, Elf Squad Inc. founder Stephanie Beitzel is busy ensuring children across Geelong have presents under the tree. She spoke to Ash Bolt about the charity and other projects she had in the works.

Where did the idea of Elf Squad Inc. come from? In the UK, Christmas experiences run by charities are very established and popular. Every year, I used to look forward to gathering with like-minded people to pack food hampers, fill Christmas stockings and provide Christmas meals and services for locals in need. When I moved to Geelong, I discovered similar programmes were not in existence, and I really missed the tradition. So, I roped in a committee of volunteer “elves” from the local business and community sectors, and by Christmas 2017, Elf Squad was born. What else are you working on? In early 2022, with the support of the City

of Greater Geelong, I am launching the membership and events organisation, Tech for Geelong Inc., to drive digital innovation, inclusion and impact in the Greater Geelong region. I’m also on the Geelong Committee of Fight Cancer Foundation, to raise funds for regional cancer patients, through the Love Red Lunch, held annually in March at the Geelong Football Club. What are your favourite things to do locally? I love cruising vintage furniture markets, going dancing wherever ’70s and ’80s music is cranking, and being an elf from October each year! How are you coping with COVID-19? I’m an introverted-extrovert, so I’ve probably coped better than most. I’m definitely hankering for events and re-connecting with friends and business networks. What’s something about you that people might not know? In 2002, I won the Sydney Morning Herald Bizarre Sports Story of the Year Award. When I attended the Queen Mother’s Funeral, I spotted a bouquet sent by the Albury Greyhound Association. This was before social media, so I sent a photo of the bouquet to the AGA, so they knew it arrived safely. They were so grateful, they named an annual greyhound race after me. Bizarre, indeed!

Tell us a bit about yourself... I was born and raised in Melbourne, and moved to Geelong in 2015 after 15 fantastic years in the UK. I chose Geelong as my new home because I always loved holidaying on the Bellarine and down the Great Ocean Road as a kid. In 2015, Geelong was also on the cusp of a renaissance, and I knew this would be an exciting and dynamic place to work and play. Most of my working life has generally been in marketing, media and events, with a strong entrepreneurial streak. Volunteering on the side, to make a difference in my community, has also always been important to me. This theme has continued in Geelong.

Talent at her fingertips

Australia Day event cancelled

By Ash Bolt Four years ago, Geelong-based artist Justine Martin discovered the technique of finger painting when an illness made it difficult to hold a brush. And now she’s trying to help others rediscover their joy for finger painting. Martin said the technique was a lot more nuanced than the finger painting we all knew from our childhoods. “About four years ago I discovered the technique … I was going through cancer at the time and I lost the ability to hold a brush,” she said. “I was devastated that I couldn’t create … but I was able to finger paint. It was a form of meditation for me. “It’s not the same as what you learn in school, it really puts a new spin on it. “People are less afraid when they’re finger painting than [using a brush] and there’s a real tactile nature to it as well.” Martin has previously run workshops in finger painting through Barwon Health and this week will start teaching classes to encourage more budding artists get their hands dirty. “The workshops got great feedback … people would always tell me they didn’t know they had it in them,” she said. “They’re always shocked too because it is so different to what they were expecting. “It takes you back to a time when life was carefree.” Martin said she hoped to see more people try the technique. “If there’s one thing that the last few years has shown us is that people need hobbies,” she said. “Hobbies build resilience and help us overcome adversity. “They’re also important to self care and making sure you’re putting your needs first. “Finger painting is an inexpensive way to start a hobby; all you need is paint and a canvas.” Martin said her classes would focus on 10 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 29 October, 2021

techniques of using hands to paint and would see all participants leave with a “canvas you’ll be proud of”. The classes will run every Friday and Saturday over the next few months.

They will cap off a busy 2021 for Martin, who is also in the process of writing and publishing a children’s book. Details: calendly.com/justinemartin/ fingerpaintingforgrownups.

The Australia Day (Geelong) Committee has made the early decision to cancel the annual function at Rippleside Park for the second year in a row. Committee president Colin Anderson said the COVID situation, while improving, made it impossible to confidently plan the event. “The free Children’s Fun and Entertainment Day at Rippleside Park held on Australia Day has been a feature on the Geelong calendar for over 60 years and it was with a great deal of sorrow that the committee took the decision to cancel the 2022 event,” he said. “However the committee was left with no choice, given the uncertainty that COVID-19, particularly the Delta strain, brings.” Event manager Ralph Patford said it didn’t make sense financially to go ahead with the event given the extra cost in complying with COVID-safe guidelines. “The additional cost of running the event would have been well beyond the fundraising capacity of the committee,” he said. “These costs would have included development of a COVID-safe plan, fencing the event space, establishing an online booking system for patrons, policing the COVID-safe practices of patrons, and hiring of staff for security and entry control. A large number of additional volunteers would have been required also.” Australia Day committee secretary Vinko Ljubanovic said the committee was “very hopeful” of seeing the event return for Australia Day 2023. “We are still in frequent contact with our regular participants and most of them have indicated that they will be available whenever the event comes to life again,” he said.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK PARENTAL GUIDANCE Nine, Monday, 7.30pm

TARONGA: WHO’S WHO IN THE ZOO Nine, Friday, 7.30pm

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in a zoo? To see the animals up close in their enclosures without fighting for viewing space with schoolchildren? No? Well you might after watching this fascinating observational documentary series that’s returning this week. After five years of planning and more than $60 million, Taronga Zoo’s African Savannah Precinct is ready to home its new residents. Problem is, the giraffes are a stubborn bunch who aren’t all too keen on being herded anywhere. Then, keepers examine the zoo’s largest eight-legged arachnids.

When it comes to parenting, most of us are just doing our best. After almost two years of disruption and uncertainty, this revealing series couldn’t be more auspicious. Some of us might feel like we could do with a little help, while others will take satisfaction seeing other parents insist their way is superior. No matter your opinion, there’s one thing that can be agreed upon as you cringe your way through this new series: these 10 sets of parents are incredibly brave. Hosted by Allison Langdon and parenting expert Dr Justin Coulson, get ready to cover your eyes as their different parenting methods are judged.

GRACE Prime7, Sunday, 8.30pm

GOING COUNTRY ABC TV, Tuesday, 8.30pm

Based on the bestselling British crime novels by Peter James and written and adapted for the small screen by Endeavour’s Russell Lewis, Grace is a character and twisty plot-driven whodunnit wrapped in a satisfying feature-length package. Here, the second book following Brighton detective Roy Grace (John Simm, pictured) comes into focus, titled Looking Good Dead. Grace and Branson (Richie Campbell) grapple with two unconnected murders: a drug overdose and human remains found in a field. With 18 novels and counting in James’ Roy Grace series, we could be in for the long haul. It’s a taut and satisfying case.

This warm two-part travelogue, with Justine Clarke in the driving seat, hits all the right notes. Clarke, who is as much at home entertaining children in The Justine Clarke Show! as she is acting in an indie drama such as Tangle, showcases her charm and versatility again in a road trip to explore and understand Australia’s country music traditions and history. Meeting some of the country’s most beloved musicians, she also discovers how country music was the wild child of its time. Tonight, Kasey Chambers performs the country ballad Wild Colonial Boy with her dad Bill, and Paul Kelly pays homage to this homegrown country music hero.

Child’s play: Parental Guidance hosts Dr Justin Coulson and Allison Langdon.

Make a garland of ghosts and other spooky characters with your kids to decorate your home. (iStock)

Creepin’ it real this Halloween As spooky season bears down upon us once again, keep your kids entertained with these fun Halloween-themed craft activities to decorate the front gate or windows at home. This Sunday, October 31, is a great time for you and your kids to spend some quality time getting creative. Many of these activities will encourage your child to develop their fine motor skills and hand-eye co-ordination they’re learning and improving but they’ll think they’re just playing and making Halloween decorations! Bonus points if you dress up with your kids in something like a fairy or pirate costume to get even more into the spirit!

Paper pumpkin decorating Print out some pumpkin cut-outs or trace some pumpkins onto orange paper for your kids to cut out. They can then decorate the pumpkins with markers, cellophane, tissue paper and other craft items. Ask your child how many

different kinds of faces they can make – happy pumpkins, scared pumpkins, angry pumpkins, the list goes on.

Ghost garland Have your child draw some spooky ghosts on different coloured paper and decorate them how they’d like. You can then holepunch the top of each ghost and have your child thread some string through each hole, so that they can hang up their ghost garland like a scary decoration just for Halloween.

Toilet paper roll crafts Collecting empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls will give your kids infinite opportunities to create new and creepy characters. Monsters, ghosts, creepy crawlies and even more spooky friends can be decorated just how your child wants, and they can collect them as each roll is finished up.

Immerse yourself in exhibition By Ash Bolt

With restrictions easing last week, The Hue and Cry Collective was able to reopen its doors to the public with a new fully immersive exhibition from a local artist. The community art gallery had been closed in recent weeks, but reopened on Friday night with Geelong-based Finnish-Australian artist, Emily Rastas’ first solo exhibition, FEEL/HEAL. The exhibition, which features a fully immersive sensory room art installation, along with sculptures, fashion design and paintings, has transformed the gallery into a “kaleidoscopic dreamscape”. Rastas said the exhibition focused on tactile stimulation and the healing potential inherent to both the creative process and the immersive encounter of art. The tactile process of stitching, threading, and layering of fabric involved in making wearable art informed her approach to painting and sculpture, where the application of colour, texture, and form, help in alleviating anxiety, enabling personal and situational coping. The artworks are arranged according to a thematic structure that moves through the five phases of personal growth – denial, acceptance, gathering, experimentation, and creation. At the heart of the exhibition is the ‘Pelispace’, a sensory room that is designed to stimulate all of the senses. “I wanted to construct a multi-sensory environment that would cuddle me like a soft blanket – a mirrored room that would allow

me to see myself in a myriad of colourful ways. To see, hear, touch, smell and taste serenity, joy, calm and reassurance,” Rastas said. “My lived experience with anxiety and chronic pain resulted in months of immobility, forcing me to self reflect; accepting past traumas and mistakes, learning, understanding and changing thought patterns and behaviours.” Rastas said she wanted visitors to her exhibition to “please touch the art and allow yourself to be touched by the art”. “Even if bright colours are not your cup of

tea, I invite you to indulge your other senses in an immersive experience with a healing touch,” she said. The exhibition was originally scheduled for August and September but had to be postponed due to lockdowns. It was finally able to launch on Friday night in front of a small crowd of visitors.

Live stand-up ready to bring back the laughs It’s been a bleak past few months, but local comedy agency What’s the Joke is hoping to change that when it brings live stand-up comedy back to the region next month. What’s the Joke has teamed up with Newtown Mexican restaurant Bobby Dre’s to host a stand-up comedy show headlined by well-known comedian Dave O’Neill. What’s The Joke founder John Watts said it was great to be finally be able to host comedy shows again following the easing of restrictions. “The last show we did locally was in Torquay in July, so it has been a while since we’ve been able to have a laugh,” he said.

‘‘

Everyone needs a laugh, especially with the year we’ve had - John Watts

’’

“There’s been a hiatus of comedy, which is hard, because everyone needs a laugh, especially with the year we’ve had. “We teamed up with Bobby Dre’s back for the first time back in February and it went really well, so we had every intention to do it again, but unfortunately restrictions have meant we couldn’t do it until now.” Watts said it was pleasing to have a comedian of Dave O’Neill’s calibre headlining the show. “It’s a great get to have Dave O’Neill headlining the show,” he said. “Dave is well-known around the Geelong area and is a comedy veteran – he’s had a lot of appearances on Spicks and Specks on the ABC and used to have his own radio show. “He’s a recognised face in comedy and the perfect person to headline this show.” 16 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 29 October, 2021

Watts said Dave O’Neill would be supported by Melbourne comediam Johnny Kats. “Johnny Kats is another solid performer, who has performed worldwide for more than 20 years and also used to be on the radio, so we’re looking forward to having him,” he said. The show will be rounded out by Annie Louey. “Annie’s relatively new to stand-up comedy and I think this might be her first show in Geelong, but she’s a popular comic with a good following,” Mr Watts said. “She’s a regular on ABC radio’s breakfast show and has a TV show called In China Tonight, so she’s doing good work.” Watts said he expected there would be strong support for the show. “Every time we come to Geelong there’s always a lot of support for comedy,” he said. “With restrictions lifting, there’s an appetite to get out and catch up with people and comedy is good for your mental health. “For a lot of comics, they haven’t been able to perform properly for a while now, so they’re all busting to get back out there.” Watts added further shows in the region were in the works. Tickets for the show, which runs at 2pm and 6pm on November 21, can be booked online at bobbydres.com.au. Ash Bolt

Local fencer recognised By Ash Bolt A Geelong fencer is one of 16 athletes across the country to this month receive a scholarship from the Sport Australia Hall of Fame. Alex English was announced as a recipient of the 2022 scholarship, which will provide $2500 to help cover the costs of training and competing in the coming year. The 21-year-old said he was proud to be the first fencer to ever receive the scholarship. “I’m really pleased to receive the scholarship … it will help with training and the cost of competing in international events,” he said. “But also I’m really looking forward to connecting with the other athletes in the program and learning from them as well. “I didn’t realise I was the first to receive the scholarship for fencing, which is pretty crazy, but it is great to see fencing recognised and developing as a sport.” Alex first took up the sport socially with friends through sessions held at Geelong College about 10 years ago, before starting to compete at age 15. He competes in the epee discipline, which is the most popular style of fencing and also the one with “the least amount of rules”. He said it was the “mental and physical balance” of the sport that attracted him, but the community aspect that kept him involved. “Particularly over the last year, I’ve come to realise the great work done at the Geelong Fencing Club,” he said. “The community aspect within the club is fantastic.” Alex said he was hoping to use the scholarship to continue developing his skills and hopefully compete at an Olympic Games. “The biggest event I’ve been to was a world championships … but like everyone the goal will be to one day go to an Olympics, whether that’s the next one or the one after,” he said. “The last year has been really difficult without really being able to compete but thankfully the Olympics was on during lockdown and that was really inspiring. “I was able to watch a lot of that and learn a lot.”

Countdown to return of competition LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers Time is counting down to the start of competition tennis, with Thursday triples kicking off on November 4, Saturday junior and senior pennants on November 6, and midweek getting three matches in starting on November 9. All the clubs are preparing themselves for the new start, none more so than All Saints Anglican, with its courts being newly resurfaced. With the help of donations towards its building fund and a grant from the City of Greater Geelong, the club has replaced its deteriorating hard courts with synthetic grass. The two senior and seven junior teams will be fighting for who gets to play on them first. Nathan Mayes is doing a great job retaining his charges as coach, with last year’s Orange Ball team moving into the Green Ball ranks and the addition of another team from last summer’s numbers. Nathan’s work at Teesdale also see the previous Orange Ball players move into Green Ball competition and last year’s Section 7 girls returning for another season. In the senior ranks, last summer’s Section 5 mixed premiers are returning to take a crack at Section 4, so time will tell how the stronger competition will treat them. Other clubs in the north and west will also be preparing for a new season, and have done well

transitioning some of their juniors into senior ranks. Hamlyn Park has also recently upgraded its court surface, and will be keen to give it a proper workout. With a junior girls team, and five senior teams, including a team of recent juniors making the transition to seniors, Hamlyn Park will be keen to develop a new home court advantage. Fyans Park has a men’s team returning to compete in Section 5, and the fourth-placed Section 8 mixed team from last season coming back to try and improve its position this year. Sutherlands Creek also has its Section 8 mixed team back again. It will be hoping to make inroads on its third place last summer. Lethbridge has managed to gain another team this season, to now field three mixed

teams, with the addition of some older juniors to its senior ranks. Western Heights Uniting continues to present well in competition with four junior and two senior teams, with the girls from girls Section 4 Blue backing up in the afternoon in seniors Section 9 mixed. Lara continues to develop its juniors with club coach Jake Dunn, with five teams entered and a number of new players. In seniors, along with the two mixed teams from last season, Jake is returning to competition with two current and one former junior – Jak and Samuel Caddy, and Juanito Ramos, for their first full season of seniors men’s tennis in Section 4. Centre Court has been affected by COVID lockdowns more than any club in Geelong, and it is great to see it open and active again. As usual, it has a strong junior presence with 11 teams entered. It is a credit to the team at the indoor facility to be able to keep the juniors while not being able to operate for large portions of the year. Centre Court’s premiers from Section 7 mixed in last year’s senior competition will also be back this summer, but will compete in Section 4, after a strong showing in winter’s Section 3. The competition will be tougher for the indoor team, but as it seems to be going from strength to strength, it should give its opponents a run for their money.

Inside Corio Bay is still continuing to offer some great fishing at the moment for both land-based and boat anglers as St Helens rocks and the north shore area still holding respectable numbers of pinkies and even some good size snapper. Anglers fishing off the rocks are still dragging up some quality fish to the shore with snapper up to 5kg being caught – one of the advantages of St Helens is that you’re always in for the shot at a big fish. Anglers fishing out of a boat are also having plenty of success on the snapper, the trick has been fishing a tide change and using a sounder to mark up the schools of fish. The outer harbour has had some good reports come through of King George whiting holding in good numbers and seeming to be quite on the chew. Fish ranging between 30-38cm have been getting caught, fishing straight off Hermsley in six metres of water has been a very productive area to fish. As well as the whiting there are still a few squid on the go in closer on the weed beds. Anywhere from 2.5 to four metres of water has been fishing quite well with Majorcraft Egizo jigs proving to be super effective. The silver trevally run at the Queenscliff cut is still going strong with plenty of anglers finding themselves among a hot bite of these hard fighting fish. Casting soft plastics on slack tide has been a deadly time and tactic to get amongst the action with reports of fish over 40cm being taken. Anglers have also been finding themselves hooking into big pinkie snapper, salmon and calamari in there as well. The Bight has still been the go to location for calamari, it’s been a great season on them so far with anglers finding some superb calamari cruising about. The barrel tuna bite off Barwon Heads is still going strong with reports of a fish being caught nearly every day still. Trolling skirted lures between six to eight inches is still the go with a variety of colours working well. 50-70 metres of water still seems to be where majority of the action is being held. With the average size well over 100kg and plenty of reports of fish over 140kg, there is no better time to get out there and have a crack at them especially when they’re this close to home.
