RAT relief It should get easier to find a rapid antigen test (RAT) in the coming months, with the state government announcing the tests would be manufactured in the state. Premier Daniel Andrews said Lumos Diagnostics, together with its delivery partner Planet Innovation, will establish a manufacturing facility and innovation hub in Victoria with support from the state government. If approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration, Lumos, who is already making RATs for Canadian and European markets, will produce one million tests per month from April, three million per month after July, with full production from October onwards of up to 50 million RATs each year. There has been added demand for tests, with students encouraged to test twice per week before heading into the classrooms, along with recent changes to testing requirements. Farmers across the region have been able to get their hands on tests needed to ensure essential food supply chains continue to run, through an initiative of the Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF). The VFF was in Geelong on Tuesday distributing some of the 56,000 tests it had bought and on-sold to local farmers who had been unable to access tests as pharmacy stocks dwindled. VFF president Emma Germano said the overwhelming response from farmers highlighted the critical need and demand for RATs in the community. “Our industry, as well as many others, have been crying out for RATs for months. We decided to get on the front foot and secure a supply of tests ourselves,” she said. “Farmers and industry have been telling the government that without access to RATs, the new isolation directives intended to ease the pressure on our supply chains won’t work.” Winchelsea’s Cutting Edge Shearing owner Simon Sorensen and Victorian Farmers Federation farmer engagement general manager Simon McNair.

Lib’s $3.5m surf pledge By Ash Bolt

12496497-CG22-21

Opposition leader Matthew Guy has committed $3.5 million to support a development of the Torquay Surf Life Saving Club if it wins this year’s election. Mr Guy visited the region last week and made the commitment to support the club’s plans to upgrade its 50-year-old facility. The club has revealed plans to upgrade after seeing a significant growth to its membership base in the past few years, which has seen it reach its capacity for its Nippers programs. “No child should be turned away from Nippers because of capacity limits and under a Matthew Guy Liberal Nationals Government,

that won’t happen again,” Mr Guy said. “This investment will help ensure no family is denied access to such vital programs.” Polwarth MP Richard Riordan said the Torquay club needed more support for its impact on the community. “For generations, the Torquay SLSC has been a pillar of local sport, culture and community,” he said. “Our plan to upgrade the club and surrounding beachfront will mean more local residents will be able to access and enjoy this outstanding community facility for decades to come.” Torquay Surf Life Saving Club captain Julian Sweeney said it was pleasing the opposition had

made a commitment to the club. “It’s great to see the Liberals commit to supporting the upgrade and hopefully that will push the other parties to commit to the project too,” he said. “We feel the Torquay Surf Life Saving Club is a jewel of the Surf Coast but unfortunately unlike other surf life saving clubs along the coast, we haven’t had our facilities upgraded. “It would be nice to get this upgrade and provide a state-of-the-art facility for the whole community to enjoy.” Mr Sweeney said the upgrade would allow for the clubrooms and beach to be more accessible for people of all abilities. “It’s a 50-year-old building and back when it

was made, it wasn’t made to be as accessible,” he said. “It’s outdated and we want to make sure we’re accessible for everyone in the community … for example our boat ramps are one of the most accessible ways for people in wheelchairs to get down to the beach, but even they are too steep for many people. “Everyone should be able to enjoy the beach and we want to make that access easier.” The club has estimated it would cost $11 million to upgrade the building, and has raised more than $1 million of its own funding. The club is also hopeful of making Torquay a “centre of excellence” for Life Saving Victoria training on the Surf Coast, as well as being a hub for community groups to use year round.

City to fight Valley Inn pokie bid The City of Greater Geelong will spend $30,000 to oppose a South Geelong venue’s application to increase its number of poker machines. Councillors voted at Tuesday’s council meeting to oppose the Valley Inn Hotel’s application to the Victorian Gaming and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) to increase its poker machines by 10, to 39, due to concerns about the impact on community. The council had previously indicated its opposition to poker machines and gambling in the municipality through its Gambling Harm Minimisation Policy, which it put out for public

comment late last year. The City of Greater Geelong had the highest poker machine losses of any Victorian local government area over the last six months of 2021, with almost $42.5 million lost according to data from the Victorian Commission for Liquor and Gaming Regulation. The venue’s application said the revenue generated from the extra machines would strengthen its financial position to support a proposed $2.1 redevelopment project, as well as provide community donations and create an extra 9.5 full-time equivalent jobs.

A letter outlining the city’s intention to respond to the application has been sent to the VGCCC. The city will now prepare a social and economic impact assessment that will outline the levels of disadvantage, education and employment experienced in South Geelong. The VGCCC will consider this report when it assesses the hotel’s application at a public hearing. The council voted to allocate up to $30,000 for legal counsel to represent the city’s case at the hearing, dependent on the findings of the impact assessment.

Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said the council would oppose the application in the interests of community health and wellbeing. “With nearly 1400 pokie machines across Greater Geelong and Queenscliffe, there’s ample opportunity for the community to take part in gambling if they wish, without the need to increase EGM numbers,” he said. “Council’s focused on providing a safe and healthy environment for our residents by preventing and reducing harm from gambling.” Have your say at yoursay.geelongaustralia. com.au/valley-inn-EGM-Application.

Geelong hit hard with flash flooding Heavy rainfall on Thursday, January 27 caused flash flooding across Geelong, with some areas seeing up to 30 millimetres of rain in just 21 minutes. Bureau of Meteorology data from the Geelong Racecourse weather station showed 40.8mm of rain fell last Thursday, including 30mm between 8.17pm and 8.38pm. Residents took to social media to show the impact of the rainfall, with many suburbs experiencing flash flooding, particularly in central and inner southern suburbs of Geelong. Images shared online showed areas around Belmont and Highton were particularly impacted, with streets seeing significant flooding. The State Emergency Service issued flash

flooding warnings last Thursday night and urged resident to stay indoors and not enter floodwaters. The Geelong SES unit shared on social media just after midnight that it had received 46 calls for assistance in the previous three and a half hours, and had rescued three people trapped in floodwaters. They also received calls for flooded residential and commercial properties, ceiling collapses, roof damage and trees down around Geelong. The South Barwon SES unit was also kept busy, receiving well over 120 calls for assistance. According to Bureau of Meteorology data, it was the greatest amount of rainfall Geelong had received in 24 hours since April 2017. It was followed up with a further 9.4mm on

Friday. The flooding was also felt elsewhere, with emergency services saving an 84-year-old lady who was washed away in her vehicle in Anakie on Friday. The Geelong Police Eyewatch Facebook page said the driver was washed off O’Neils Lane in her vehicle, with Lara and Corio Police, SES and CFA attending the scene but unable to reach her. “Eventually Search and Rescue attended and with the flood water subsiding were able to walk her out,” the page shared. “The driver showed amazing spirit stating she did not need an ambulance and was completely fine. Both her and her daughter were very thankful to all services that attended and helped.” Ash Bolt

Police in Geelong have arrested a man in an allegedly stolen car before locating a loaded firearm and drugs last week. Officers were called to the intersection of Brownhill and Garden streets for a welfare check after a man was seen sleeping in a parked car about 7.30am on Friday, January 28. Upon arrival officers discovered the Toyota station wagon that was allegedly stolen from a Geelong address the day before. Police woke the 36-year-old man and arrested him before locating a loaded handgun, methylamphetamine and approximately $2000 cash, alleged to be the proceeds of crime. The man, of no fixed address, was assisting detectives with their inquiries. The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or file a confidential report online at crimestoppersvic.com.au. Police have also charged a 33-year-old Clayton woman with animal cruelty offences, after a dog was rescued after being left in a vehicle on New Year’s Eve. Geelong Highway Patrol members rescued Noodle the dog from a locked vehicle on Eastern Gardens Road, about 11.45am when they said the outside temperature was 36.5 degrees. Noodle was taken to a vet to be cared for and a patrol at 1pm found the vehicle was still present. The Geelong Police Eyewatch page shared police had interviewed the vehicle’s owner last month and “inquiries have shown Noodle was in the vehicle for up to two hours before police arrived”. Under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, dogs can’t to be left in a vehicle for more than 10 minutes on a day above 28 degrees.

Geelong a favourite destination By Ash Bolt Geelong and the Bellarine are two of the most loved tourist destinations in the world, according to a new study. The Tourism Sentiment Index released its first Leading Places report last week, ranking the top 100 most loved tourist destinations around the world, according to consumer sentiment. The Bellarine Peninsula was ranked 25th overall while Geelong came in 69th. Tourism Greater Geelong and The Bellarine deputy executive director Tracy Carter said it was an impressive result for the region’s tourism industry, which had suffered through one of its toughest years in 2021. “Geelong and the Bellarine have been

much-loved destinations for generations of visitors,” she said. “It’s wonderful to see the region recognised in this way by new audiences. “The incredible experiences we offer are clearly having a positive impact on the conversations people are having online.” The index analyses comments and conversations about tourist destinations on

social media to give each location a sentiment score. Tourism Sentiment Index conducted an intensive study of its data – more than 1.6 billion online conversations and content pieces publicly available about 21,330 global destinations – to identify the 100 most loved destinations. The Bellarine received a sentiment score of 29.15 and Geelong a score of 25.11. The Bellarine’s score was higher than well-known destinations including Bordeaux, France (49th), Queenstown, New Zealand (44th) and Las Vegas, United States (32th). Geelong’s score was higher than Nashville (89th) and Palm Springs (95th) in the United States and Dubrovnik, Croatia (85th). “As we continue to work with our industry

to build the brand of Geelong and the Bellarine and recover from the impacts of the pandemic, this recognition and positive buzz about the region will be really important,” Ms Carter said. Ms Carter said the Geelong and Bellarine region was becoming known for its “saltwater indulgences, enterprising local artisans, world-class food and wine and cultural experiences”. Queensland’s Sunshine Coast was picked as the most loved destination, ahead of the Whitsundays and Udaipur in India. Queensland was popular in the index, with Noosa and Cairns also finishing in the top 10. All up there were 30 Australian destinations in the top 100, with the Great Ocean Road placing in 86th.

Students head back to school The 2022 school year is now under way, with Geelong students back in the classroom, with new COVID rules in place. Education Minister James Merlino this week welcomed the more than one million students across the state, including 77,500 new preps starting their school journey, heading to school for the year. “The first day of school is a big day – and even more so after the last two years,” he said. “I want to wish all students and staff heading to school this year all the very best for an exciting and much less disrupted school year. “We’ve done the work to make sure schools

are as safe as they can be – so we can keep our school communities protected and ensure that 2022 is a much less disrupted year of learning.” Students, staff and school communities across Victoria have returned to school with a wide range of COVIDSafe measures to make sure the classroom is as safe as possible, including surveillance testing and improved ventiliation. More than six million rapid antigen tests have been delivered to schools for the first fortnight of surveillance testing. This surveillance testing is strongly

recommended for all primary and secondary school students and staff, twice-weekly at home before school, while students and staff at specialist schools are recommended to test five days each week due to the higher risk of severe illness for medically vulnerable children. Mr Merlino said 51,000 air purification devices had arrived in government and low-fee non-government schools in time for the beginning of term, helping remove potentially infectious particles from high-risk areas of schools.

Drivers are have been urged to take extra care in and around school zones with school commencing for 2022 this week. Police have warned drivers that extra traffic is expected on the roads, and in school zones specifically, as pick-ups and drop-offs resume. “Many children will be out of their usual school routine and may have forgotten basic road rules that normally come as second nature due to the disruptions to on-site learning in the last two years,” a police spokesperson said. “After the summer holiday period, it is not just the students who may be out of practice, with drivers reminded that reduced speed limits of 40km an hour are back in place. “Police will be actively patrolling in and around school zones to make sure everyone gets to and from school safely.” In most cases, the speed limit is 40km/h and is in place from 8am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 4pm on weekdays during the school terms. The minimum penalty for speeding in a school zone is a $227 fine and the loss of one demerit point. Parents are also reminded to follow parking restrictions to ensure safe movement of both pedestrians and vehicles around schools. There are two new school zones in the Surf Coast this year, on Horseshoe Bend Road near Torquay Coast Primary School and the Great Ocean Road in Jan Juc, near Bellbrae Primary School. Ash Bolt

Golden Plains wants feedback on its customer service Golden Plains Shire Council is calling for the community to help shape the development of its new Customer Service Strategy. As part of its Council Plan, the shire has committed to improving customer experiences through the development of the Customer Service Strategy 2022-2026. The four-year strategy will set out the shire’s aim to deliver “exceptional” customer service with a focus on accountability to service standards and improving timely responses. Mayor Gavin Gamble encouraged residents to complete a survey and share their ideas for the draft strategy. 4 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 4 February, 2022

“In the Council Plan 2021-2025, council made a commitment to develop and deliver a new Customer Service Strategy and these surveys are the exciting start of this important project. “The survey responses are an important part of improving our care and commitment to serving the Golden Plains community. “With this consultation, we want to know about positive and negative experiences, what council does well and what could be better. We’re also interested in new and different ways that customers may want to interact with council, such as web chat or in person at

community locations and events.” To help shape the strategy, community members will be able to complete two surveys. The Customer Service Strategy Community Survey is collecting feedback from customers on what they think the shire is doing well, what can be improved, and what forums they would like to engage with the shire on. The shire is also seeking responses to the Customer Service Strategy Post-Interaction Survey, which focuses on feedback from specific customer experiences, as well as ideas on future improvement. The Customer Service Strategy surveys are

open Monday, February 14. The survey can be completed online at goldenplains.vic.gov.au/consultations or collected from the shire’s Customer Service Centre in Bannockburn. “On behalf of council, we encourage customers to complete the Post-Interaction Survey and everyone is invited to complete the Community Survey,” Cr Gamble said. “We look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas to work together on a new Customer Service Strategy that best serves the Golden Plains Shire community.” Ash Bolt

Coucil buys Bell Park

Popular cafe closes doors

The City of Greater Geelong has agreed to purchase the land and assets of the Bell Park Sports Club to ensure grassroots sport continues thrive in Batesford and surrounds. Council has given the green light for the city to assume ownership of the land and buildings at 10 Lynnburn Road, Batesford, under the terms of a $2.55 million agreement with the club. This includes an $821,500 contribution from the state government and approximately $1.73 million from the city. Brownbill Ward councillor Eddy Kontelj said the land was purchased at market value and was a sound investment in community sport and recreation. “Bell Park Sports Club has a proud history and has been providing soccer facilities for the local community for more than 60 years and continues to cater to hundreds of junior and senior players,” Cr Kontelj said. “At market cost, this agreement is financially sound and will ensure we have sporting facilities to meet the future needs of our growing population – the community will be the beneficiary of this investment. “Geelong is a sporting city, however, we can only retain that reputation by delivering and retaining facilities in key growth areas.” As part of the agreement, funding from the city and the state government will be used to deliver a $1.4 million upgrade to facilities at the club, including female friendly change rooms. The city will also complete a lighting upgrade for pitch one up to the value of $635,000, with funding from the state government. Cr Anthony Aitken said the landmark agreement was a win for the community. “This is a momentous decision for the club and council,” he said.

“The site is strategically located within the future Western Urban Growth Zone with a projected population of 60,000 residents. “Transferring the land from private to community ownership will ensure the world game continues to grow in Geelong now and in the future.” Bell Park Sports Club president Rose Pirrottina said the agreement secured the future of the sports club. “The Bell Park Sports Club welcomes this arrangement with council that will see our much-loved home become an asset of the community,” Ms Pirrottina said.

“This outcome has been a long time in the making and will ensure we can grow sporting opportunities for all participants. “We thank our members for backing this decision and extend thanks to councillors Eddy Kontelj, Anthony Aitken, and Kylie Grzybek for supporting us in this historic announcement. We also thank our entire council chamber and council officers for facilitating this amazing outcome for the Geelong community.” A community infrastructure grant of $348,000 provided by the city to the club in 2020 will be redirected to the land transfer.

Well-known North Geelong eatery Café Bear and Scoobs has closed its doors due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the hospitality industry. Co-owners Mark Butcher and David Scoble announced in a video posted to the café’s social media that the café had closed and been placed into “voluntary liquidation” this week. “We [can] genuinely say we loved every minute of the six years we had at Café Bear and Scoobs as hard and tough as it has been, we made lifelong friends both customers and staff,” they wrote. “I’m sorry I couldn’t personally say goodbye to every one as it’s so raw and emotional. “However please take this as a big thank you for all your support over the last six years. Our motto was always love of food and the love of people.” Mr Butcher had been open with the community about the impact the pandemic was having on the business and the hospitality industry, regularly sharing social media videos about his experiences. In a video posted last July, Mr Butcher detailed his experience as a small business owner and his concerns with being able to pay staff during lockdowns. “I just finished paying wages … we paid everybody, which was good, for the last two weeks, but I don’t know where we go from here,” he said in the video. Mr Butcher said at the time the business was finding it hard to continue with the changing restrictions and the ongoing impacts of the virus.

Giving kids the best start in life The federal government has committed to supporting culturally and linguistically diverse Australians in the Geelong area to adapt to parenting in Australia and give their children the best start in life. At the weekend, Families and Social Services Minister Anne Ruston announced the City of Greater Geelong would receive almost $180,000 over five years for its Parenting in a New Culture program, which has supported 25 parents in the past year to strengthen their family unit and connect with their local community. “The Parenting in a New Culture program

parenting groups [provide] a safe space for parents to ask questions, improve their parenting skills and meet other parents in the Geelong region who may be going through similar challenges,” she said. “We know that parenting can be difficult and there are added challenges when you have to adapt to living in a new area, which is why we are committed to offering support to prevent breakdowns and ensure children feel secure in their own homes and communities. “The program introduces parents to a range of life skills like how to use banking services, navigate the Centrelink and education system

and how to access services like the Victorian police and ambulance.” Geelong-based Victorian senator Sarah Henderson said the program acknowledged one size did not fit all and the City of Greater Geelong used local knowledge to better respond to the needs of individuals and the wider community. “The counselling and education programs have been designed to tackle the unique and complex challenges that Australian families face and help minimise the chances of family breakdown,” she said. “The City of Geelong has a wealth of

experience supporting parents’ and children’s wellbeing and development and extensive local knowledge of the Corangamite community. “The Morrison government will continue to deliver funding to community services to provide early intervention for at risk families to ensure they can achieve all of their aspirations.” City of Greater Geelong deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said the program was making a meaningful impact in families’ lives. “Greater Geelong is proudly a multicultural region and we want everyone in our community to feel welcome and to know how to access the services available,” he said.

Influencers sharing body positivity Two Geelong social media influencers are taking part in an Instagram campaign to promote body positivity and kindness online. Allira Potter and Deni Todorovic are two of five influencers collaborating with Instagram and the Butterfly Foundation for the #BodyKindOnline campaign. The campaign aims to educate young Australians on how to navigate likes and comments, how to curate their feed to make Instagram a more positive place, using filters safely, and managing feelings of comparison to friends or influencers. Research released by the Butterfly Foundation showed 42 per cent of Australians reported using filters to improve how they looked on social media, 62 per cent said they felt pressure to look a certain way on social media and 34 per cent said they wished to look more like influencers.

Ms Potter, a proud Yorta Yorta woman with more than 39,000 followers on Instagram, said she was proud to take part in the campaign to “humanise” social media. “I signed onto the campaign because I feel like I don’t fit the mould of the majority of influencers,” she said. “I don’t use filters to change the way I look – I share the good and the bad days, all the lumps and bumps. “A lot of young people are impressionable … and [I want] to let people know that there are influencers out there that are regular people and you don’t need to compare yourself to people who filter what they show online. “We want to break down those walls.” Instagram Asia-Pacific policy programs manager Tara Bedi said the campaign aimed to “reduce pressure on the platform, especially on issues around body image”.

“Through our partnership with global experts, including Butterfly Foundation in Australia, we’re launching safety campaigns and consulting on new tools and policies to ensure we protect the most vulnerable people on Instagram,” she said. “The new #BodyKindOnline campaign combines clinically-backed advice from Butterfly with tips from some of Australia’s top creators to help young people navigate a safer and more positive body image experience on social media.” Through the campaign, the five influencers have used videos on their social media to share their own journeys with body kindness and their advice for young Australians on a range of social media topics.

Western Victoria MP Bev McArthur has called on the state government to remove the temporary ban on elective surgery. The state government put elective surgery on hold across regional cities, including Geelong, four weeks ago to free up hospital resources to respond to the surge in COVID-19 cases. Mrs McArthur said there were many illnesses that although not deemed urgent enough to be considered for surgery under the current rules, were still life-threatening. “Surgeons are telling me that due to COVID fear and rules, patients have delayed medical treatment and are now presenting with cancers that have advanced. Even these are not being treated under the current surgical bans,” Mrs McArthur said. “An elderly woman who delayed hip surgery because she was caring for her cancer-stricken husband, has fallen over twice in the last week. Her surgeon has asked for her case to be prioritised. “She has been told she would need to break her hip to get surgery and her surgeon’s request has been denied. “Neither adults nor children choose cancers, heart conditions, broken hips, or liver and bowel complications – there’s nothing ‘elective’ about these conditions. “Just like IVF, so-called ’elective surgery’ for patients in compromised health situations needs to resume.” Opposition leader Matthew Guy has also called for the ban to be lifted immediately after chief health officer Brett Sutton told a parliamentary oversight committee on Monday he believed hospitalisations from the latest COVID-19 wave had peaked.

Rehabilitated Winchelsea Common set for reopening The Winchelsea Common will soon reopen to the public, following extensive works by the Surf Coast Shire Council and Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) to restore and enhance the site. The shire and DELWP have outlined a plan to reopen the rehabilitated site by the end of March after the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) determined the Winchelsea Common was now safe for public access. This follows Surf Coast Shire Council supporting DELWP to carry out a major cleanup of residual lead and clay target contamination from former gun club activities at the site. 6 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 4 February, 2022

As part of the works, the site was further enhanced through the construction of a new all-weather shared path, landscaping and fencing off of sensitive vegetation. Areas which could not be rehabilitated due to the presence of nationally significant vegetation will remain fenced off from the public. The shire and DELWP have joint responsibility for the common with the shire responsible for the day-to-day management of the site, and DELWP, as the land owner, being ultimately responsible for how the common is managed. An Environment Management Plan has

been jointly developed to outline how the site will be managed to protect public health and safety, and the unique natural environment. Surf Coast Shire acting mayor Liz Pattison said she was pleased that locals would soon be able to use the space again. “Winchelsea Common is a much-loved open space, with significant environmental values. I know locals will be so happy that they will soon be able to again enjoy its walking trails and off-lead dog area,” she said. “The new Environmental Management Plan will help ensure that DELWP and council can safely manage the residual contamination on

site, while also facilitating public access and protecting the area’s environmental values.” DELWP Barwon South West acting regional director Chris McNamara said it was great news for the community. “We’re delighted that the Winchelsea Common will once again be open to the public and can be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike,” he said. “We’ve greatly appreciated the patience and understanding of the community, while these important works have been delivered to enhance and restore this site.” Ash Bolt

Rotary Ferris wheel joy More than 100 Geelong residents received a belated Australia Day treat, with the Lions Club of Geelong Corio Bay providing free rides on the Ferris wheel at Eastern Beach last week. Lions Club of Geeong Corio Bay’s Brian Edward handed out 154 free tickets to the wheel, provided by operator Hilite Amusements, to children and their families last Thursday. It allowed Encompass Community Services’ clients living with disability, disadvantaged youths from Geelong’s northern and eastern suburbs who took park in the Lions Club’s recent Licola Wilderness Village camps, and refugee families supported by Diversitat to experience the Ferris wheel. “Every kid [at the camp] was given an invitation to bring their family down to the Ferris wheel for a treat,” he said. “It was all about giving these families the chance to experience something that they otherwise may not.” Mr Edward said he was pleased with the turnout, despite the threat of poor weather on

Thursday afternoon. “Apart from the free Ferris wheel ride, each child was given an Australian flag with compliments of Geelong’s Australia Day committee,” he said. “So overall my view is that the Lions Club of Geelong Corio Bay ferris wheel treat project was a success.” Mr Edward said the program was an extension of a camp he ran through the Lions Club of Geelong Corio Bay last month, where 132 children from lower socio-economic backgorunds were sponsored by the club and other Geelong organisation to take part in a short camp at Licola Wilderness Village. The camps are for children aged between eight and 11 and feature activities designed to build respect for others, confidence and self-esteem. More than 1000 children have been sponsored by the club to take part in the camp. Ash Bolt

Shire takes action on housing affordability The Surf Coast Shire will look to address the shortage of affordable housing in the region after councillors adopted an Affordable Accommodation Action Plan at last week’s council meeting. The plan, which is a new stream of work for the shire, sets out a 12-month program of work to support the rollout of the state government’s Big Housing Build on the Surf Coast and address the key worker accommodation crisis, which the council declared last May. In a report presented at the meeting, the shire said it was “increasingly fielding requests for assistance, receiving proposals for new initiatives, being asked to participate

in regional programs of work and having to respond to new government policies” in relation to affordable housing. The plan, funded by a one-year investment by shire, attempts to organise the new area of work into priority actions thereby providing clarity on the things it is able to do. Councillor Gary Allen said the plan came at a time when communities and governments at all levels were increasing their focusing on the issue. “Affordable accommodation is almost impossible to come by in our shire and we hear all kinds of heartbreaking stories of those missing out,” Cr Allen said

“It’s a very real problem for workers and employees, our ageing community members and those who have sudden and unexpected life events that rob them of a home. “But with such a complex problem that’s decades in the making, we’ve got to be very deliberate about where we put our energies and this plan tries to give us a clearer focus.” Consultation with communities in 2021 led to the council making a commitment to try improving access to affordable accommodation in its four year Council Plan. The action plan will work with the council’s Social Housing Policy to help guide the organisation as it works with Homes Victoria

to ensure the state government’s $20 million Big Housing Build spend in the shire addresses local needs. Council will explore how its land at 2 Fraser Drive, Aireys Inlet, long earmarked for affordable housing, can provide housing options for people struggling to find places to live in the area. The plan also flags the investigation of Tiny Houses, key worker projects and initiatives such as Lorne’s ‘Adopt a Worker’ program as innovative ways to address a difficult problem. Two councillors, Paul Barker and Heather Wellington, opposed the plan saying housing policy shouldn’t be a local government matter.

Youths raise their voice By Ash Bolt The City of Greater Geelong’s fourth Youth Council has been announced, with 12 young people being chosen to serve as the official ‘youth voice’ to council for 2022. The Youth Council will act as an official advisory committee to council, with three members representing each of the Bellarine, Brownbill, Kardinia and Windermere wards. The Youth Council members will meet once a month and provide a youth perspective to council on issues such as mental health awareness, bullying, climate change, and inclusion. Junior members were chosen by members of youth advisory groups in their respective wards. Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan congratulated the new members and acknowledged the critical role the Youth Council played in representing

the views of Geelong’s young people. “The youth of Geelong have shown remarkable resilience during the pandemic, and now more than ever, we need to hear their perspectives on the issues that are important to them,” he said. “The 12 youth councillors are an impressive group and represent a diverse mix of backgrounds. We know they’ll do an outstanding job of representing their peers.” The 2022 Youth Council members are Indiana Roberts, 14, Genaya Rowbottom, 17, and Timothe Garnier, 12, representing Bellarine; Tahlia Baronessa, 17, Imogen O’Shannessy, 14, and Bailey Strahan, 14, representing Brownbill; Isobel Rose, 13, Sarah Tolan, 13, and Ashlin Bobby, 14, representing Kardinia; and Charlee Hide, 13, Angelle Mackay, 15, and Adrian Wyres, 15, representing Windermere. The first meeting for the 2022 Youth Council will take place on Monday, February 7, where

the junior members will set their key priorities for the year ahead. Junior members will work closely with councillors in their respective wards as part of the Councillor Connect Mentoring Program, which leads to improved leadership skills, a better understanding of local government and greater confidence in the young people participating. Youth Council will report to council quarterly on activities undertaken by the advisory committee and, in previous years, has played an important role in calling for further promotion of the city’s mental health first aid training and additional youth designated spaces in the region. Last year’s Youth Council contributed to Monash University’s YourGround safety mapping survey, while this year’s council will be able to offer its insights to the Growing Up in Geelong Study with Deakin University.

The Surf Coast Shire is calling for local community organisations to apply for grants to support events that foster positive community, economic, cultural and environmental outcomes. Deputy mayor Liz Pattison encouraged not-for-profit and commercial organisations to consider applying for events to be held in the shire between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023. Grants of up to $3000 are available for community events, $7500 for boutique creative and special focus and up to $10,000 for tourism events. Twenty applicants received grants in last year’s program, including the Winter Solstice Open Water Swim in the community category, the Meadow Music Festival in the boutique creative and special focus category and the Great Ocean Road Running Festival in the tourism category. “The pandemic has certainly magnified how much our wonderful events mean to us in terms of community connections, wellbeing and economic stimulus across our shire,” Cr Pattison said. “We look forward to their continued, careful return during 2022-23 and encourage organisations to consider applying to our Event Grants Program. “Our grants across three categories might be able to provide groups with the really valuable boosts they need after challenging times of cancellation and separation. “The Event Grants Program has been making a difference since 2014, and we hope to see it flourish again in 2022-23.” Grants for 2022-23 will be announced following council’s May meeting. People considering applying for an events grant should speak to a member of the shire’s Events Grants Program team on 5261 0600 to help identify which category might be most appropriate. Applications close February 28. Details: surfcoastevents.com.au Ash Bolt

Giddings to take over the Australian International Airshow Avalon Airport chief executive Justin Giddings will step down next month to take over the Australian International Airshow. The AMDA Foundation, the organisation behind the show held at Avalon, announced this week long-time chief executive Ian Honnery would retire after 46 years and Mr Giddings would take over the role. “At the age of 75 it is time for me to hand over to a new generation of leadership, who will build on and advance the organisation’s achievements and success,” Mr Honnery said. AMDA Foundation chair Chris Ritchie paid tribute to Mr Honnery’s stewardship of AMDA 8 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 4 February, 2022

Foundation since its beginning. “AMDA Foundation’s stature as an established, respected leader in promotion of Australian industry owes much to the vision, skill and sheer determination of the man who has led the organisation for some 46 years since its inception,” he said. “Over nearly five decades Ian Honnery and his team have created an organisation which has made a material contribution to the development of Australian industry, in the interests of the nation. “Ian’s retirement, delayed so he could steer AMDA through the tribulations of COVID and oversee AMDA’s contribution to the Royal

Australian Air Force Centenary year, will be well deserved.” Mr Ritchie said the board expected a smooth transition when Mr Giddings took over from the end of March. “The selection of Justin Giddings means AMDA will continue to be led by a chief executive who is an accomplished and constructive business leader, committed to AMDA’s altruistic mission and familiar with the complexities and challenges of the Australian International Airshow as AMDA’s signature event,” he said. Mr Giddings said he was looking forward to

the new challenge. “I have always strongly supported AMDA Foundation’s mission of stimulating Australian industry promotion and engagement through industry focused events and in fostering public awareness of industry and of opportunities in careers and skills,” he said. “I have been fortunate to have worked alongside Ian for many years and have enormous admiration and respect for what he has achieved. He leads a wonderful organisation and I am humbled to continue his service to the industry.” Ash Bolt

More than just a cricket yarn By Ash Bolt Following the success of Australia’s 2021-22 Ashes series campaign, Geelong Arts Centre is kicking off its 2022 season program with a cricket focus, presenting Ensemble Theatre’s Black Cockatoo. Inspired by the true story of legendary First Nations cricketer, Johnny Mullagh, and Australia’s first ever international sporting team, Black Cockatoo is a story of strength, resilience, hope and possibility. Running from Tuesday, March 22 to Saturday, March 26 in Geelong Arts Centre’s Studio 4, Black Cockatoo is a new artistic collaboration between iconic Australian writer Geoffrey Atherden (Mother and Son, Babakiueria) and former Sydney Festival Artistic director Wesley Enoch (Black Diggers). Each performance runs for 90 minutes, with the performance held at 7.30pm on Friday, March 25 also including a post-show question and answer session with members of the show’s cast and creative team. “We are thrilled to be opening Our Season 2022 with Black Cockatoo,” Geelong Arts Centre senior producer Penny McCabe said. “It is incredibly important to Geelong Arts Centre that we

support Australian stories that need to be told, and what could be more fitting than a Victorian story inspired by legendary First Nations cricketer Johnny Mullagh?” Ms McCabe said Black Cockatoo was more than just a cricket story. Over 150 years ago, 13 Aboriginal men in Western Victoria picked up their cricket bats and embarked on a treacherous voyage to England and into the unknown – all in the name of sport. Risking illness and persecution, Australia’s first international cricket team, including Australia’s first Indigenous sporting hero Johnny Mullagh, amazed the English crowds with astonishing talent, personality and grit. They should have returned to Australia as celebrated heroes. Instead, they came back to find the world they once knew was no longer there. The show is part of Geelong Arts Centre’s Our Season 2022 which features 11 stories showcasing the voices of those who have overcome hardship, broken down barriers and fought for their place upon the world stage.

Breast cancer survivor’s success on show for all By Alesha Capone Werribee playwright Alaine Beek says she felt “so excited” after one of her plays was selected for the VCE Drama Playlist 2022. Jack and Millie, a show that Beek wrote about her experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer, is among six productions that Victorian students will study this year. The play will also be staged at the The Potato Shed in Drysdale in March.

‘‘

I wanted it to be positive, I didn’t want it to be gloom and doom

’’

- Alaine Beek Beek said it was great to see her script included on the VCE list, among that of classical playwrights and big theatre companies. “It’s a really amazing recognition for good work,” she said. Jack and Millie is directed by Nigel Sutton and stars Beek, Ross Daniels and Phil Cameron-Smith. “It’s the true story of my breast cancer journey, I wanted it to be positive, I didn’t want it to be gloom and doom,” Beek said. She said the character of Jack was reminiscent of her own “inner voice” while she had cancer. “There is a lot of comedy in that,” she said. Jack and Millie debuted at the Saltwater Community Centre Amphitheatre during 2021, although COVID restrictions caused

Goanna set to reunite for tour A well-known Geelong band will be reuniting to support Midnight Oil on its final tour when it comes to Geelong for A Day on the Green next month. Organisers this week announced legendary Australian rock band Goanna would reunite to support Midnight Oil when it plays at Mt Duneed Estate on Saturday, March 5. The bands will also be supported by ARIA award winning blues and roots band All Our Exes Live In Texas. Goanna was formed in Geelong in 1977 by singer-songwriter and guitarist Shane Howard and found fame with the release of its debut album, Spirit of Place in 1982. Forty years after the album’s release, Shane Howard, Rose Bygrave, Marcia Howard and Graham Davidge will come back together to relieve their classic hits. A Day on the Green is also expected to be the last time Midnight Oil plays in the region, after announcing its current Australian tour would be its last. The announcement comes after A Day on the Green organisers announced last month Rod Stewart had cancelled his performance at Mt Duneed Estate due to COVID-19-related travel restrictions. Other A Day on the Green shows planned for Mt Duneed Estate in 2022 include The Killers in December and The Squeeze 22 in April. The Squeeze is Australian band Lime Cordiale’s annual travelling festival and will feature Thelma Plum, Client Liaison, The Vanns, as well as Melbourne’s Teenage Dads and Sydney’s Merci, Mercy.

dress rehearsal and opening night to be cancelled. Beek said the Saltwater venue manager, Bob – a cancer survivor – was enthusiastic about staging the show. “All ages attended the show, from young teenagers to the elderly and across the board audience reaction was overwhelmingly positive,” Beek said. Beek said that she has been offering to visit local schools to students talk about Jack and Millie. “I have a passion for working with youth and have done so for a number of years in performing arts,” she said. Beek said she was in the process of converting her Werribee-based theatre company, Essence Productions, into a not-for-profit organisation. Beek said she hoped this would help the company get more funding for shows and to work with young people. Jack and Millie will be staged March 1-3 at the Wyndham Cultural Centre, March 5 at The Potato Shed, Drysdale, March 8-9 at Griffith Regional Theatre, March 11-12 at Albury Entertainment Centre and March 16-19 at The Atheneum, Melbourne. Tickets (Wyndham shows): $35 full, $30 concession, $30 groups of four people or more, $20 students/matinee.

It’s the Jeanne Little Show, Mother and Son and REBEL – a high octane, live circus theatrical tour de force, inspired by the genius of David Bowie. Usually held the first Wednesday in December, the uncertainty around COVID-19 shifted the popular annual reveal to early February. City of Greater Geelong deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said the season featured all the elements that the shed was famous for: music, storytelling, comedy, drama, captivating circus and extravagant cabaret. “After attending [Wednesday] night’s launch, I can guarantee that the Potato Shed’s diverse programme has something for everyone’s tastes,” he said. “We’re fortunate to have such a high calibre of entertainment on offer right here on our doorstep, that will be sure to attract visitors from outside of Greater Geelong too.” Kutcha Edwards will head to the Potato Shed for the first time with Circling Time – Songs and Stories, a show that depicts Edwards’ life as a renowned First Nations singer/songwriter and proud Mutti, Yorta Youra and Nari man. A reimagined Jekyll and Hyde, presented by A Slightly Isolated Dog, invites the audience to help tell this slightly bonkers rendition of the classic Robert Louis Stevenson tale. The hugely popular comedian turned playwright Damian Callinan returns with Mayor for a Day, who creates a leaner, funnier, one-man local government service, that will linger long in the memories of those who sit in the gallery. VCE drama playlist shows include SLAP. BANG.KISS! by Dan Gioannoni, presented by Melbourne Theatre Company and Jack and

REBEL, a live circus rock tribute to David Bowie, will feature as part of the Potato Shed’s 2022 season.

Turned upside-down: Gavin (Irish actor Eoin Macken) tries to make sense of the inexplicable in new series La Brea.

Host Johanna Griggs (pictured) and the trusty crew return with season 28 of this Aussie favourite this week. Adam makes an entrance, literally, with a front-door makeover to remember; while Joh and Charlie check out Rosedale Farm, near Orange in NSW. Karen takes inspiration from the Winter Olympics with hong shao rou, a Shanghai specialty; while Ed makes two Chinese dishes that the whole family will enjoy. Staying on theme, Graham is transported to China with a visit to Sydney’s Chang Lai Yuan Chinese garden. AINSLEY’S GOOD MOOD FOOD SBS Food, Saturday, 7.35pm

Larger-than-life British chef Ainsley Harriott (pictured) is onto a winner with this new series – and that’s not just because he breaks into song whenever he feels like it. Harriott has a zest for life that can’t be ignored. Based on his book of the same name, this foodie adventure sees him cooking on the beach (his favourite spot) as well as the kitchen (another place he obviously loves). The show is all about food that makes him feel good and the feeling is infectious. It’s hard to object with Harriott’s fervour. JOANNA LUMLEY AND THE HUMAN SWAN ABC TV, Tuesday, 9.30pm

PICK OF THE WEEK LA BREA Nine, Monday, 9.10pm

Who could forget the cult series Lost? As possibly one of the best TV series ever made, it’s only natural there will be other shows that copy its mysterious, sci-fi flavour. Melbourne-made series La Brea, premiering tonight, leans heavily into the sci-fi, while also indulging in a wallop of disaster drama. When an enormous sinkhole suddenly opens up in Los Angeles, hundreds of people fall into an unexplainable primeval world. Expect a raft of predictable dialogue as the Harris family are separated and must find a way to be reunited. Fortuitously, Gavin (Eoin Macken) discovers the apparitions that have haunted him for yonks might hold the key to bringing his family home.

The Absolutely Fabulous star charts Australian-born conservationist Sacha Dench’s (pictured, right, with Lumley) quest to raise awareness about climate change in this wholesome doco. Dench got her nickname after following a flock of swans on their three-month migration journey. Here, she uses the same method of transportation – a battery powered hang-glider called a paramotor – to journey along the British coast, while Lumley follows on land, and they meet folk making a difference.

A workshop trio in Geelong West keeps your car in the right hands. (Louisa Jones)

European specialists you can count on Three enterprising experts in their field got together 15 years ago, opening the first of three side-by-side vehicle workshops in Geelong West, each catering to its specific European or British models. The newest workshop operates under the banner of Geelong West Automotive. This one specialises in Volvo, Peugeot, Renault, Citroen and Skoda. The German Automotive workshop is the Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Volkswagen specialist. And the other, Hunter Cuthill, is all about Landrover, BMW and Mini Cooper. Current owners Adam Hunter, Ben Buckle, Mark Goodear and Adam Dres bring a combination of nearly 100 years’ experience working on all the major Euro brands – the sort of expertise highly valued by the drivers of out-of-the-ordinary vehicles.

All manner of mechanical, auto electrical and tyre replacement work is carried out by the high-tech workshops. Dealer-level diagnostic, repair and maintenance work are also on board, as is log book servicing that retains new car warranty. Ben says that the crews are well-equipped to look after just about everything needed to keep a car in tip-top shape, right from driving it new off the lot through to its senior years. “Not only do we have the world’s leading independent diagnostic software, but also all our technicians have received specific training on each brand,” explains Ben. “As well, we have all the special tools needed for repairs and servicing the luxury models. “We use the Hunter wheel alignment system, recommended for all major luxury and European vehicles.

“Our tyre servicing equipment includes the Sice tyre changer, again recommended for most Euro vehicles. And to top it off, we’re still cheaper when compared to capped price servicing from dealers.” Loan cars are available for a small fee, and customers can book a service online.

MOTOR

A light hatch with sporty flair

By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring The i20 N is Hyundai’s first light hot hatch. We are assured it can run with its N stablemates, “delivering its speed and performance with a fun personality that turns every trip into a Special Stage” according to Hyundai. At this stage the i20 N is offered in a single grade, we have queried the Australian importer about other grades, but were told that’s all they will divulge at this time. In any case the single grade is well specified and the major emphasis is on high performance - which is exactly what lovers of hot cars are looking for. Important features include Launch Control, an auto rev-matching function for the manual transmission, and a three-mode stability control system as is used in other Hyundai N cars. By the way the ’N’ designation indicates both Hyundai’s Namyang Research and Development Center in South Korea. It was also the famed Nurburgring in Germany where many cars are unofficially tested to their limit in a wide variety of road conditions. Note that the Nurburgring is a public road so if you happen to be in Germany you may care to have a fang there. Just keep an eye on your mirrors in case something very quick suddenly come up behind you …

Styling Hyundai i20 is a neat looking small car even in its standard format. Changes to upgrade it to the N include a different grille inspired by the WRC models, a rear spoiler, built-in rear diffuser and a large single exhaust. The lower areas are finished in red. The 18-inch alloys are in grey matte with N-branded centre caps. The i20 N is offered in a range of ten colours including two shades of red.

Interior Performance Blue highlights throughout the cabin make a statement. The interior plastics and surfaces are rather hard to the touch, but keep in mind this isn’t a luxury car. A variety of textures visually make it look more a little further upmarket. A leather/cloth combination upholstery that’s of a reasonable quality. Keep in mind that this is a budget priced car. But may we suggest you check this for yourself when doing your checks on which car you’re considering buying.

Take a family hatchback add sporting looks more power, and you get the Hyundai i20 N.

A cubby under the centre stack is big enough for to hold a large phone. There are cupholders between the front seats and a small cubby under the front-centre armrest. There are bottle holders in the front and rear doors.

Torsen mechanical limited-slip diff. Upgrades to handle the extra power and torque of the ’N’ include a reinforced clutch, improved friction materials and redesigned synchros.

Infotainment

Safety

There are twin 10.25 inch displays, one for instruments, the other for the infotainment touchscreen. The displays are excellent and can be read with a minimum of distraction for the driver. As seems to happen all too often, the DAB+ digital radio drops out more often than not. To the extent I found myself saying f### off and giving up. Instead listening to the Bose seven-speaker sound system which produces decent sound. More speakers would be welcome, but I guess this is a car built down to a relatively low price. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (wired) and satellite navigation are standard. There’s a Qi wireless charger.

As we went to press the latest Hyundai i20 range hadn’t been crash tested by either ANCAP or Euro NCAP. Standard safety equipment includes: • Front, front-side and curtain airbags • Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection • Driver inattention monitoring • Lane-keep assist • Lane following assist • Blind-spot monitoring • Rear cross-traffic alert • Automatic high-beam Assist • Rear occupant alert • Speed sign recognition • Intelligent speed limit assist

Engines / transmissions

Driving

The Hyundai i20 N is powered by a 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol. Power is 150kW between 5500 and 6000rpm. Peak torque is 275Nm from 1750 to 4500rpm. An overboost function increases maximum torque to 304Nm under full throttle between 2000 and 4000rpm. The only transmission is a six-speed manual transmission - Yippee it’s set up for real drivers! It powers the front wheels by way of a sporting

It’s all about fun, and plenty of it. Though based on a standard city and suburban car, the guys and gals at Namyang and at Hyundai Australia have done an excellent job of giving the i20 N a genuinely sporting flair. The firmer ride and tyre noise on coarse-chip roads are certainly what you expect in a sporting car, which is fine for the driver but may not appeal to passenger, especially

during long trips. The six-speed manual is easy to use. In our test car the clutch didn’t start to engage till the pedal was almost all the way up. After a while this was no longer an irritation. Gearing is low and at 110km/h in sixth in top gear the engine is at nearly 3000rpm. It doesn’t sound overly busy - even though it is. On typical European motorway speeds of 140 to 160km/h it’s going to sound very busy. And if you’re lucky enough to be driving on unrestricted sections of German autobahnen the engine is going to spend a lot of time at 6000rpm. Don’t know if that would be doing the fuel consumption at lot of good. But who cares, smile and enjoy the ride! The i20 N’s powertrain is Euro 6-certified and has fuel-saving idle stop/start technology. Fuel use is quoted as 6.9L/100km on the combined cycle. During our test period covering over 450 kilometres we used nine to eleven litres per hundred around town, dropping to six to seven litres on the open road. The 2022 Hyundai i20 N is covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. Servicing is required every 12 months or 10,000km, whichever comes first.

Summing up You get a lot of sporting driving in this highly modified Hyundai i20 N and those who need/ want a family car with plenty of get up and go at a relatively modest price should certainly add it to their shopping list. Friday, 4 February, 2022 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 21

Cats fall just short of a first win By Ash Bolt Geelong has fallen agonisingly short if its first win in the 2022 AFLW season, going down by just two points to reigning premier Brisbane on Saturday. Making their first interstate trip for the season, the Cats headed up to Maroochydore still looking for a win after three defeats to start the season. They had their work cut for them, with the Lions piling on the pressure until the Cats made a late charge in the final quarter of the 3.9 (27) to 4.1 (25) loss. New Cat Chantel Emonson kicked her first goal in the hoops in the opening quarter to give Geelong a positive start and a four-point lead at quarter time. But it was in the second quarter when the Lions began to take control of the game and

continuously put the ball into their forward 50. Cats skipper Meg McDonald and Maddy McMahon were brilliant in defence and absorbed the pressure, regularly intercepting and spoiling marks, which denied the Lions the chance to pile on the goals from their 38 inside 50s. The Cats were able to keep the Lions to just two goals and seven behinds by three quarter time, but the pressure meant the Cats had added just one further goal themselves. The game looked like it could be out of reach when the Lions kicked the first goal of the final quarter to go 13 points ahead, but it provide a turning point for the Cats. Geelong kicked the next two goals, both through Chloe Scheer, to get back within a goal of the lead. With the rain falling heavily late, Scheer had a shot to kick her fourth goals of the game but missed as the Lions were able to hold on.

Cats coach Dan Lowther said while it was disappointing to not get the victory, he was proud of the team’s effort. “We said pre-game it was going to be an arm wrestle … and that’s what we got from start to finish,” he said. [We were] smashed in clearances and inside 50s [and that] didn’t help us to keep the ball in our front half to give us the chance to score. “But [I’m] really proud of the girls’ efforts to show a bit of grit … to get us back into the game in the last quarter [and put us] in a position where we actually could have won the game. “That’s really pleasing.” Lowther said the defensive efforts of McDonald, McMahon, Maddy Keryk, Georgie Rankin and Gabbi Featherston were outstanding. “I’m really proud of our defence, I think our defence has held up for the first four rounds

really strong, and particularly [on Saturday] against a really dynamic forward half,” he said. “We just need to make sure we capitalise on getting the ball forward and scoring.” The Cats’ attention will now shift to Friday night, when they host West Coast at GMHBA Stadium the round five marquee match. Lowther said the team was looking forward to getting back out onto the field. “We’re a pretty process driven group so … it hurts to lose another one – all of the players on our list are hurting now to lose not just four, but obviously last year was quite difficult as well,” he said. “We’ll stick to the process and make sure whatever opposition we play from week to week, we’ll play our way. “I think we’re making strides but again it’s about making sure we get the process right at the right time. They’re a motivated group [to get a win].”

Third century for Geelong cricketer

Tiffany Riggs. (Zakhele Stevens/Surfing Victoria)

Torquay surfer claims Masters win A Torquay surfer has claimed the Victorian Masters title at the Mornington Peninsula at the weekend. Torquay’s Tiffany Riggs reigned supreme in the over-35 women’s masters division in challenging onshore conditions at Gunnamatta Beach on Saturday. The competition brought together the pioneers of surfing in Victoria with divisions ranging from over-35 through to over-60s, with competitors vying for a spot in the Victorian surfing team set to compete in the Australian Surf Championships later in the year. Conditions were tricky in the morning under gloomy skies, however with a lower tide coming through in the afternoon, conditions did improve, giving competitors an opportunity to 22 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 4 February, 2022

get a couple of longer rides across both left and right-handed peaks. Riggs was able to find several left-hand runners in the difficult conditions to secure two solid scores (7.00 and 5.03) and leave her fellow competitors behind. She claimed a 1.43 point win over Ricci Hawkins from Mount Eliza, while Phillip Island’s Michelle Fincher finished third. “It’s always fun to be on the Mornington Peninsula and it was super exciting to get a couple of fun waves and get back into events again,” Riggs said. In the over-35 men’s division, all four surfers could only be separated by a couple of points in the challenging tidal conditions. However, it was Lachy McDonald

(Blairgowrie), who was able to show some poise and take home the division’s bragging rights. “The conditions were pretty tough, but I’m stoked to get a win on home turf,“ McDonald said. Jan Juc’s Tim Birnie finished in second place, just 0.64 points behind McDonald, while Torquay’s Joel Steven rounded out the top three. Other divisional champions from the event included Andrew Hyde in the over-40 men, Arthur McKenzie In both the over-45 and over-50 men, Andrew Dell in the over-55 men, Joe Cervi in the over-60 men and Mark Miccoli in single fin.

Hayden Butterworth has joined the ranks of some of Geelong Cricket Club’s greatest batters, after hitting his third century in five games against Fitzroy Doncaster on Saturday. The 33-year-old has become just the sixth Cat to hit three centuries in a single home-and-way Victorian Premier Cricket season. Others to do it include current Australian limited overs captain Aaron Finch in 2007-08, as well as Jason Bakker, Tom Elliott, Liam Buchanan and Clinton Peake, who did it twice. Butterworth hit 102 from 142 balls, including seven boundaries, opening the batting, as the Cats set 8/236 from their 50 overs against Fitzroy Doncaster. He was supported by captain Josh McDonald, who hit 42 before he was stumped, and Liam Blackford, who chipped in 30. However it wasn’t enough for the Cats to claim the win, with current Australian star Glenn Maxwell putting on a masterclass in the Lions’ batting inning. Maxwell blasted 122 from 90 balls, with 14 fours and five sixes, to guide the Lions to a three-wicket win with 16 balls remaining. His Melbourne Stars teammate Brody Couch was the pick of the Cats’ bowlers, finishing with 3/30 from his 10 overs. Dom McGlinchey took 2/48 from eight overs, including the prized wicket of Maxwell in the 29th over, with the score at 3/167. Despite regular wickets falling after Maxwell’s dismissal, an unbeaten half-century from Liam Banthorpe guided the Lions to victory. Butterworth’s century was his third of the season, after scoring 104 against Kingston Hawthorn in December before the Christmas break and 107 against Casey South Melbourne two weeks ago. In between his last two tons he also hit an 85 against Dandenong, as well as a 68 earlier in the season. He has hit 581 runs for the season from nine games, placing him second in the Premier Cricket firsts runs leaderboard behind Ringwood’s Tom Rogers on 717. Saturday’s century was also his ninth overall for the Cats’ firsts, since making his debut for the team in the 2010-11 season. Ash Bolt

Future stars commit to Open By Ash Bolt Australian WPGA champion and LPGA star Su Oh has confirmed she will be a part of the world class women’s field at the Vic Open on the Bellarine Peninsula next week. Victorian Oh, 25, delighted the crowds at Royal Queensland when she held her nerve in a seesawing contest with rookie professional Grace Kim to win by four strokes and she will again put on a show at 13th Beach Golf Links from February 10-13. The world number 85 is hunting another victory on Australian soil, however she will have to renew her battle with Kim and also go toe-to-toe with major champion Hannah Green to do so.

‘‘

I just love this event and I know the course well

’’

- Su Oh

“I just didn’t want to miss it,” said Oh, who is currently playing in America, and flying back into Australia a couple of days out from the Vic Open. “I might be a bit jetlagged, but I just love this event and I know the course well. I’ve played so many times in a row now and I wanted to keep that streak going. “I’ve been close a couple of times so it’d be nice to win the event because the way it’s set up has been so good.

“It’s great to play because I’ll be at home anyway. Even my dog can come and watch.” Adding another layer of class to the women’s field is the presence of Australian golf’s brightest young star Stephanie Kyriacou. The 21-year-old from Sydney has made a whirlwind start to her professional career since winning the 2020 Australian Ladies Classic Bonville by eight strokes as an amateur. The world number 76 has been a dominant force on the Ladies European Tour as she finished third in the 2021 Order of Merit standings. Following a successful LPGA Q-School campaign she now makes the move to the United States to join the LPGA and the likes of Green, Oh and Minjee Lee.

Karis Davidson is another young Australian who is teeing it up at 13th Beach before heading to the bright lights of the LPGA for the first time. The 23-year-old Queenslander triumphed earlier last month at the inaugural WPGA Melbourne International and has more silverware on her mind before the end of the Australian summer. The Vic Open will be part of both the WPGA Tour and the PGA Tour of Australasia. Prize money has been set at a minimum of $820,000, with equal prize pools of $410,000 each for men and women. Fields of 144 men and 72 women will start on the Thursday, with the top 35 men and 35 women and ties making it through to the Sunday.

Miers in doubt for round one

Drysdale atop section three ladder LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers It was a welcome return for Tennis Geelong Saturday competitions, with juniors hitting off in the morning, and seniors backing up in the afternoon. Round of the week went to Section 3 boys, where three of the four matches were tied at three sets all and decided on games, and the final match four sets to two. Top team Drysdale travelled to second placed Barwon Heads for a battle royale. Jack Huynh got over the line for the Heads in a tie-break, while Max Lee levelled the tie with a 6-4 win for Drysdale. The remaining singles went with the Sams, as Sam Guest took a 6-4 win for the Heads, while Sam Duff put Drysdale one game ahead with a 6-2 win. With the match level at two sets all, the match came down to the doubles. The first doubles was a rematch of round one,

where Jack Huynh and Finn Hutton bested Tom Duff and Max Lee 6-2, but Duff and Lee turned the tables on Barwon Heads taking the set 6-0, giving Drysdale an unassailable lead. The final set saw the Heads bridge the gap with a tight 6-5 win, but it wasn’t enough to stop Drysdale gaining an extra two points’ breathing space at the top of the ladder. Sixth-placed Clifton Springs almost pulled off an upset win when it took on Ocean Grove Blue. Mitchell Grunberg started the day off well with a 6-1 win for the Springs, but Blue took the second with Riley Eyck also winning 6-1. Ocean Grove then took the lead in the match with Daniel Golightly and Kade Robinson winning through 6-5 and 6-1 respectively. The Springs fought well in the doubles to level the set score, but with the results being close, 6-5 and 6-4, they were left with a three game deficit. The third match was a battle to stay off the

bottom of the ladder, but in such a close section, every point counts. Wandana Heights, after a two game win over Drysdale/Clifton Springs, now finds itself one point behind the hybrid team, and catching the three teams above it. While the end result was close and the sets were split all the way through, all the wins were decisive, with the closest result being 6-2. The final match of the round saw Grovedale put itself within one point of third-placed Ocean Grove White, with a solid 4-2 win away from home. Sam Carr and Malachi Hedt put Grovedale in front from the outset with strong 6-0 and 6-3 wins respectively. White levelled the score after the third and fourth singles with Rafael Berra and Ryan Furber taking their sets 6-3 and 6-4. The match came down to the doubles, where the Grovedale combinations proved too strong, taking the sets 6-4 and 6-3 and pushing it closer to a double chance come finals time.

Geelong could be missing a key part of its forward line when the AFL season kicks off next month. The Cats could be without small forward Gryan Miers for the round one with Essendon after the club confirmed this week he had undergone surgery. Miers, who played just 15 games last year after fracturing his right leg, suffered a syndesmosis injury to his left ankle at training last week. After consulting specialists, it was determined that surgery was the appropriate course of action. General manager of football Simon Lloyd said it was unclear when Miers would return from the injury. “Gryan is an important player for us, as he has shown over the past three years,” Lloyd said. “We reviewed the scans and considered all possible options before determining that surgery was required. “As we have seen with this type of injury, it is difficult to outline a return date, as everyone heals and rehabs differently. “Gryan will undertake his rehabilitation diligently and professionally to get back on the field as soon as possible.” Miers is not the only Cat to go in for surgery last week, Former Hawk Jonathon Ceglar has gone under the knife, undergoing an arthroscope on his right knee after a training mishap. “Jonathon’s surgery addresses a minor knee issue, and the expectation is that he will make a quick recovery,” Lloyd said. The pair joins Sam Menegola and Jack Henry on the Cats’ injury list ahead of the season. Menegola underwent knee surgery for a meniscus injury in October, while Henry is still undergoing rehabilitation from surgery on a partial fracture in his foot last month. The Cats kick off their 2022 AFL season with the annual Country Festival game against the Bombers at the MCG on Saturday, March 19. Their only official pre-season hit out will be against Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium on Monday, March 7. Ash Bolt
