Geelong Indy - 11th February 2022 by Star News Group

February 11, 2022

Jakara claims gold Barwon Heads has been celebrating this week, with Jakara Anthony crowned Australia’s newest Olympic gold medallist. The 23-year-old claimed Australia’s first Winter Olympic gold medal since 2010 on Sunday, after dominating the field in the finals of the women’s moguls in Beijing. After qualifying in top position on Thursday, February 3, Anthony was the standout on Sunday night, with her runs top-scoring in each of the three rounds of the final. She progressed through the first round with a score of 81.91, before making it through the second round and into the final six with a score of 81.29. But she saved her best for her third and final run, scoring 83.09 to claim the gold medal by almost three points over American Jaelin Kauf. With moguls runs scored on the speed, jumps and the skiers’ turns down the slopes, Anthony’s technique and air on her jumps stood out. Her stay in Beijing was short-lived, flying back into Melbourne Airport on Wednesday, where she was met by her proud parents, Sue and Daryn. “It still feels like I’m living in a dream,” she said at the airport. “It’s been a big past few days … and to be back having accomplished all my dreams, it’s a phenomenal feeling.” Anthony said she was appreciative of the support she had received from back home while competing, with Greater Geelong getting behind her. Christian College Geelong, where she completed high school, shared its pride on social media this week.

“We are so proud of your phenomenal achievement and celebrate your success in Beijing, bringing home gold for Australia … after so many years of hard work and effort by you, your team and family,” the school shared on Facebook. “Together with the rest of the nation, we applaud your remarkable character and determination as a person, and now as an Olympic champion.” Anthony also received an extra surprise with Australia Post announcing she would be featured on a stamp, which she described as “incredible”.

Ambulances under strain By Ash Bolt

Geelong paramedics have responded to their busiest quarter ever as the spike in COVID-19 cases last year saw an increase in code one callouts. Ambulance Victoria’s response time data for last three months of 2021 showed there were 4138 code one – lights and sirens – emergency callouts within the City of Greater Geelong, almost 200 more than the same period in 2020. Paramedics attended 74.8 per cent of code one patients in Greater Geelong within 15 minutes – compared with 79.6 per cent in 2020. The average response time to code one patients was 13 minutes and 13 seconds, about a minute slower than one year prior. Response times were faster within Geelong, with ambulances reaching 78.9 per cent of code one patients within 15 minutes, with

Step closer to Smart City status By Ash Bolt The City of Greater Geelong is a step closer to achieving its Smart City goals, following the endorsement of a 15-year agreement to access 24 kilometres of optical fibre from Corio to East Geelong. The city has entered into a contract with not-for-profit organisation, AARNet, to install and utilise a high-speed optical fibre network which will form the backbone of the Smart City initiative, and provide community facilities and public spaces with access to ultra-high-speed internet. The contract, endorsed by councillors at last

week’s council meeting, is a critical part of the Smarter Suburbs project to address gaps in digital access and affordability in the northern suburbs. It is expected to enable the delivery of fast free public Wi-Fi and an enhanced broadband service, expected to be available to the public in mid-2022. It is a component of a larger project to run fibre between Lara and Waurn Ponds and is an extension to the already approved Bellarine fibre contract. Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said the Smarter Suburbs project was critical to tackling disadvantage in the northern suburbs.

“Addressing the technology gap across Greater Geelong is among the most important projects we can carry out to support residents of all ages,” he said. “Council and the Victorian government have previously identified the benefits of public Wi-Fi to bridge the divide across the community. “However, the last two years of home schooling, working from home and lockdowns, when many people of all ages relied on digital communication to stay in touch with friends and family, have further reinforced the importance of internet access.” Innovative solutions portfolio chair Peter

Church restoration appeal launched St Paul’s Anglican Church Geelong has launched its heritage restoration appeal with support from the National Trust of Australia. The church launched its appeal to raise $500,000 on Sunday with a ceremony, where National Trust of Australia (Victoria) chair Kristin Stegley, Geelong MP Christine Couzens and City of Greater Geelong councillor Eddy Kontelj spoke of the importance of preserving the region’s history. St Paul’s Anglican Church Geelong heritage advisory committee member John Duncan said the campaign hoped to raise funds to address weather and moisture damage to the church’s southern wall.

We need to protect these beautiful historic buildings - John Duncan

’’

“With a heritage building, any type of work is a complex and expensive exercise,” he said. “Our focus is to address the southern wall. The wall is made of beautiful Waurn Ponds bricks, but it gets more weather on that side and there has been some erosion. “There’s some dampness in the southern wall we need to look at it … but these works would be difficult for the parish to carry out without support.” Mr Duncan said it was important to ensure Geelong’s historic buildings, like the church, were maintained. “There’s more and more developments going up around the town and we need to protect these beautiful historic buildings,” he said. “The church has been there for 170 years and I think it has been a strong contributor to the community over that time. “It brings a certain ambience to the city … it’s like an oasis with the green all around it.” Mr Duncan said the campaign had already attracted “a significant” amount of donations,

about $100,000, and was hoping to reach a target of $500,000. He said the campaign had been registered as a charity through the National Trust, which allowed donations to be tax deductible and be made through the trust. “It’s a very unique church in that it was made from brick at a time when other churches were

made from stone,” Mr Duncan said. “It’s also got these beautiful stained glass windows and a bell tower with eight bells – which is unusual – we have people coming from all over to ring the bells. “It’s a real asset to our community.”

Murrihy said the council was pleased to endorse the optical fibre contract and he looked forward to the project getting started. “Smarter Suburbs is a key project to help realise our community-led 30-year Clever and Creative Future vision and Our Community Plan’s strategic priority to build a healthy, caring and inclusive community,” he said. “Fast and free internet that’s accessible to all will make a big difference to our community.” He said the delivery of high-quality optical fibre was one of the key ways the city was preparing for technological advancements which relied on high-speed internet and data processing capabilities.

Corio murder charges are dropped Two men have had murder charges related to the death of a Bell Post Hill teenager dropped, after pleading guilty to lesser charges last week. Last Thursday Melton man Alith Wal, 19, and Norlane man Nyal Mainyal, 21, faced the Supreme Court where they pleaded guilty to intentionally causing injury and affray, but had murder charges dropped. They were charged with murder, along with a 17-year-old boy, last year over the death of 18-year-old Mohammad Mohammadi. Mr Mohammadi died when he was stabbed during an alleged altercation between two groups of youths at Corio Village Shopping Centre. The court had previously heard the two groups were allegedly known to each other before the incident about 6.40pm on August 23, 2020, at the intersection of Goulburn Avenue and Purnell Road. It had been alleged the groups came together after a fight between two teenagers was organised over Snapchat. The brawl then happened when one teenager allegedly headbutted another over a disagreement about cigarettes. Police had previously alleged witnesses had reported seeing Wal stab Mr Mohammadi and punch and kick him while he was on the ground. Mr Mohammadi spent around one week on life support after the incident, until it was switched off. Wal and Mainyal will return to court for a pre-sentence hearing on March 29. Ash Bolt

Drysdale bank closing its door By Ash Bolt Corangamite MP Libby Coker has urged NAB to reconsider its decision to close its Drysdale branch next month, stating it would “hurt” the community. NAB has informed customers in Drysdale it intends to close the branch on March 17, pointing to the increase of digital banking options as a key factor. “Increasingly customers are banking digitally, with more than 93 per cent of customer interactions now taking place over the phone, by video or online,” NAB retail regional Victoria and Tasmania executive Mil Kairouz said. “As more and more customers are choosing to bank online, we’re investing in improving our digital platform to make it easier and faster. While our physical branch presence in Drysdale will no longer be there, we will still be there for our customers, just in different ways. “Over the past few years, fewer customers are coming into branches to do their banking and foot traffic has lessened, which has been accelerated by COVID. “Approximately 65 per cent of our customers in Drysdale have only visited the branch once in the last year and more than 50 per cent of customers are also using other branches in the area such as Ocean Grove or several of our Geelong branches.” Mr Kairouz said the bank’s decision to close the Drysdale branch would not see jobs lost. “Importantly, there will be no job losses,” he said. “Over the coming weeks we will be working with our colleagues from this branch on opportunities for them to continue to support customers either through other branches or across phone and digital channels.” Ms Coker said she was “very disappointed” by the bank’s decision.

Drysdale’s NAB branch will close its doors permanently from March 17.

“It’s a very busy branch and the closure will affect many people, particularly the elderly who still like to go into the bank to do their banking, and there’ll be many local businesses who want to continue doing their weekly or daily banking in Drysdale,” Ms Coker said. Ms Coker said she could not fathom why the decision was made at a time when NAB was making bumper profits. “NAB’s annual profits has soared in the last financial year. It’s made a net profit of more

than $6 billion, a jump of nearly 150 per cent,” she said. “What sort of message does this send to ordinary NAB account holders? Their interests aren’t even prioritised in the good times.” Mr Kairouz said the bank was still committed to providing banking services to the Greater Geelong community. “The branch team will be working with customers over the coming weeks until we close, talking with them about the various

banking alternatives available,” he said. “Our existing branches in Belmont, Geelong North, Bellarine Village, and Ocean Grove are also available for our customers. “We’ve also invested in the region, recently relocating the Malop Street branch in Geelong to new premises and refurbished branches in Waurn Ponds and also Torquay. “We’re also refurbishing on our Geelong West branch, set for completion in the first quarter of 2022.”

Water safety a priority Local swim schools are putting a renewed focus on water safety in an attempt to curb rising drowning statistics over the summer. With COVID-19 forcing the closure of swim schools for parts of 2022, many children will be returning to lessons after a significant break. Life Saving Victoria and Kidsafe Victoria have already raised concerns about water safety this summer, with five children under 10 having drowned in Victoria since July. It follows a horror year in 2020-21, where 15 of the state’s 61 fatal drownings were children under the age of 14 years, representing Victoria’s worst child drowning toll in 20 years. “After a terrible year for child drownings last year, we’re unfortunately once again seeing children over-represented in the drowning statistics this year, with one in six fatal drownings in Victoria since July 1, 2021 involving kids under the age of 10 years,” Life Saving Victoria health promotion and communications general manager Dr

Bernadette Matthews said. “Drowning should be preventable. We’re concerned people are underestimating the risks around water with fatal consequences.” JUMP! Swim Schools chief executive Mark Collins said organisation’s Lara and Geelong West schools held a Water Safety Week this week to address the concerns, which included jumping into the pool fully clothed as a reminder that accidents could happen even when kids were not wearing their swimmers. “The swim skills of many children have dropped as has their general awareness of water safety and what it means to be careful around the water,” he said. “Meanwhile, children’s confidence around water tends to remain high as they expect they can swim just like they could last time they were in the water, but this is not always the case.”

South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman is calling on the community to sign a petition to improve access to Waurn Ponds train station. Mr Cheeseman said despite a major redevelopment of the station, community members have raised concerns about the station’s accessibility by pedestrians and cyclists from Mount Duneed. He said he was advocating to the state government to have the Baanip Boulevard pedestrian footpath extended to the southern side of station to improve access.

Booster data The Borough of Queenscliffe is still the most vaccinated local government area in Victoria, with federal government data revealing 85.1 per cent of residents have received a booster.

Avalon calls for more capacity By Alesha Capone Avalon Airport’s chief executive has suggested increasing international capacity at the site as an alternative to building a third runway at Melbourne Airport in Tullamarine. Justin Giddings made the comments after Melbourne Airport released its draft Master Plan and draft Major Development Plan in January, outlining plans to build a new north-south runway and a new terminal. Mr Giddings said Avalon had heavily invested in its international terminal, as well as its domestic terminal, and could handle more flights. “You could re-allocate some of the international capacity from Melbourne Airport to Avalon,” he said. “It would be great for regional tourism, as well as regional employment. “Imagine flying into Avalon and having more people travel to the Werribee Open Range Zoo and other places, straight from the airport.” Two airlines already fly internationally from Avalon, AirAsia and Citilink, although their operations are on hold at the moment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Residents of north-western Melbourne suburbs have expressed concern about the

impacts of a third runway at Tullamarine on liveability in the area and Mr Giddings said having more international flights to and from Avalon would mitigate the worries. “At Avalon, we have paddocks to the north and the sea and Corio Bay to the south,” he said. “It’s perfect for a small, or minimal, impact on the community.” Mr Giddings added that re-directing traffic from Melbourne Airport to Avalon would also help cut the congestion experienced on roads in Tullamarine. He described the Tullamarine Freeway as “packed” during times of peak demand at Melbourne Airport. As an added bonus, Mr Giddings said Avalon Airport was already prepared to take on more international passengers. “We’ve got heaps of capacity and we are ready to go,” he said. The airport is still unsure when international flights will resume to Avalon, following the federal government’s announcement this week that international borders would be dropped from February 21. AirAsia announced last week that it would resume its flights from Kuala Lumpur to Sydney from February 14.

Getting A Booster To Stay Safe And Protect Our Healthcare Workers I think I can speak on behalf of all Geelong locals when I thank our healthcare workers for their efforts over the last two years. Their determination and resillience in the most relentless conditions has been incredible to witness. We can go further than just thanking them in words. One way we’re thanking them is through the Hospital Surge Support Allowance, a payment of up to $60 extra per shift for staff in our hospitals and at Ambulance Victoria. Something every Victorian can do to thank our healthcare workers is getting the third vaccine dose. Every person who has their booster takes pressure off our health system. You need your third dose to keep up your immunity against COVID-19.

Cubby made with care Trade students from The Gordon TAFE have joined forces to raise funds for medical treatment for a local cancer survivor who was again battling the disease. Jacqui Chew was previously diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2017 and went into remission after six months of treatment, but found out recently her cancer had returned. Her husband Des Low is a cleaner at The Gordon’s East Geelong campus and the news spurred students to come together for a fundraising project. The TAFE’s carpentry and painting students have combined their skills to build and decorate a cubby house to be auctioned. Students studying certificate III in carpentry constructed the cubby house which was then decorated by first and second year apprentices completing certificate III in painting and decorating at The Gordon’s East Geelong Campus. Painting and decorating teacher Paul Webb said it was exciting for the students to get involved in the project.

Christine Couzens MP

“Volunteering for community projects such as this helps our students to feel good about themselves as they’re giving back,” he said. “It also helps them to build relationships with their peers and grows their self-confidence when they see what they are able to achieve.” Driving the fundraising project was The Gordon’s pluming, carpentry and high-risk programs business manager David King. He said The Gordon’s plumbing students had already raised $7000, and more fundraising projects were in the pipeline to further assist the Chew family. “We wanted to do something positive for Des and his family who have already been through so much,” he said. “We reached out to our students who have banded together to support and raise much needed funds for the cancer treatment.” Anyone looking to make an offer on the cubby house, with all proceeds going toward medical treatment for Mrs Chew, can contact David King at dking@gordontafe.edu.au.

You can also get the Astrazeneca vaccine as a booster dose if you meet certain requirements. Last year I wrote in this newspaper about my reasons for getting vaccinated. Protecting loved ones, bringing tourism back to our city and getting kids back to school were at the top of my list. We worked together and achieved all of those things by getting vaccinated. Now by getting our third dose we can protect what we have built - and do the right thing by the healthcare workers who have gone above and beyond for us.

People who are over 16 years old can get their third dose at least three months after receiving their second dose. You can get the Pﬁzer or Moderna vaccines for your third dose regardless of the vaccine you received for your ﬁrst two doses.

Gallery among tourism winners By Ash Bolt Three greater Geelong businesses have taken out major awards at the Victorian Tourism Awards. Searoad Ferries, which operates the ferry between Queenscliff and Sorrento, Higher Mark and Geelong Gallery were announced as winners at the awards presentation on Thursday, February 3. Searoad Ferries claimed the win in the major tour and transport operators category, Higher Mark won the business events venues category and Geelong Gallery won the cultural tourism category.

- Jason Smith The gallery was commended for its collection, its capacity to deliver both popular and scholarly exhibitions and its contribution to Geelong’s economic and cultural renewal. Geelong Gallery director and chief executive Jason Smith said the award was especially meaningful after the gallery was forced to close for much of the last two years. “We have been overwhelmed with the goodwill and wishes from our community following this announcement. We are very proud of our Geelong Gallery team, in what has been a challenging two years with almost 250 days closed to the public,” he said. “The award celebrates our resilience and ability to navigate the challenges presented by COVID-19.

shows that major exhibitions such as RONE in Geelong and Archie 100 provide significant economic impact for accommodation, retail and hospitality in the Geelong CBD and the greater G21 region. This award celebrates our significant and meaningful contribution.” For Searoad Ferries, it was the fourth time the family-run business had won the award, after claiming three successive titles from 2013 to 2015.

Chief executive Matt McDonald said winning the award was a credit to staff who had shown great resilience, innovation and dedication throughout the challenging times of the pandemic. “Our team has worked hard to make the ferry crossing more than just a transport option,” he said. “It’s fantastic to be recognised for the role we play in connecting visitors with the spectacular Bellarine and Mornington Peninsulas, and for the unique and unforgettable on-board experience we provide our customers during the crossing.” Higher Mark, the Geelong Football Club’s hospitality arm, was recognised for its events and conference hosting, which include the Geelong Travel Expo, school graduations and corporate events. Geelong Cats food and beverage general manager Andre Smaniotto, said the award was a terrific reflection of the Higher Mark team and their dedication to creating an exceptional customer experience. “Higher Mark has been built on the values that have become synonymous with the way the Geelong Football Club operates,” he said. “We pride ourselves on being Victoria’s largest regional events venue whilst still providing a personalised level of service from start to finish.” The awards were presented by the Victorian Tourism Industry Council and chief executive Felicia Mariani said the awards recognised excellence in one of the most challenging periods for the tourism industry. “This year’s celebration feels especially meaningful. We not only look to reward operators for their business excellence, but we want to recognise and celebrate the innovation, resilience, and commitment they have exhibited to weather the storm of the past two years,” she said.

Health project under way By Ash Bolt Works have kicked off this week on the new multi-million dollar Geelong Healthcare Precinct development in Norlane. The development will bring together Norlane Dental Surgery’s new building, including a cafe and day surgery facility, on the Princes Highway with a medical clinic and Montessori childcare centre. The project, which had its official sod turning on Monday, was the dream of Dr Rashi Gupta and her husband Aseem. The couple bought Norlane Dental more than 10 years ago and also hoped to relocate the business to the Princes Freeway from its location in Sparks Road. They spent the past decade buying property along the main road and last year received the planning permit to build the healthcare hub in Norlane. “[We] strongly believe this development will a state-of-art precinct and will definitely uplift

the area’s progress and aesthetics,” Mr Gupta said. “Once this precinct is operational it will create many new job opportunities for more than 50 people. “We are looking forward to playing our part to give back to the community [by providing] the best services.” The couple has awarded the construction contract to the Lloyd Group, with work expected to start immediately and construction to be completed by January 2023. The precinct, designed by DS Architects, aimed to create a distinctive piece of architecture for Norlane, while forming a “new cognitive precinct for health and education”. “At the heart of this project was a genuine ambition to change the future of a city for the better,” the architect’s report stated. “Today a dream project and cognitive landmark, this is an architectural solution that is a real recognition of context and community that will benefit Norlane and the broader City

of Greater Geelong for generations to come.” The new project includes a range of sustainability measures, including at least 95 per cent recycled timber used, automated lighting and rooftop solar panels, monitoring data systems to measure the building’s environmental impact and a commitment to using 80 per cent Australian-made products in the construction. The buildings will also acknowledge the Guptas’ heritage. “During the design phase, our client introduced us to the principles of Vastu Shastra, an Indian planning and architectural philosophy sometimes referred to as ‘Indian Feng Shui’,” the architect’s report stated. “The design thinking included adopting Vastu Shastra as a planning tool to establish room and doorway orientation according to north, west, east and south directional alignments. It also included external finishes reflecting orientation and elements of water, fire, air and earth.”

A Geelong man’s morning shower has been interrupted by a life-changing phone call, revealing his million-dollar TattsLotto win. The man held one of the five division one winning entries in Saturday night’s draw and scored himself a $1,158,125.80 prize. Confirming his win with an official from The Lott on Monday morning, the man said he had initially declined the winning call by mistake while coming out of the shower. “I tried to answer the phone, but I didn’t have my glasses on. I couldn’t see what I was doing, so I accidently hung up,” he said. “I’ll keep the winning news on the down-low, but I’ll definitely tell my wife this morning. She won’t believe it.” The man, who had been playing lotto regularly for 40 years before his win, said he was too stunned to make any concrete plans for the winnings at this stage. “I’m not sure what I’ll spend the money on, but I’m sure it will be something worthwhile,” he said. “I’m a bit too overwhelmed to think of anything at this stage.” His 50-game Quickpick was purchased at Nextra Bacchus Marsh Village Newslotto. The winning numbers in Saturday’s draw were 22, 9, 10, 11, 2, 37, while the supplementary numbers were 6 and 40. Across Australia, there were five division one winning entries – four from Victoria and one in New South Wales.

Funding for food relief By Ash Bolt People doing it tough across Geelong during the pandemic will still be able to put a meal on the table, with the state government committing funding to the Geelong Food Relief Centre. Disability, Ageing and Carers Minister Anthony Carbines said the centre was one of 13 organisations across the state to share in $1.67 million from the latest round of the Food Relief Financial Reserve funding program. The financial reserve was established to provide extra support to community food relief providers, who were delivering food to vulnerable Victorians in response to the challenges of the pandemic. “We are ensuring a warm meal is available for everyone who needs it – because no Victorian should worry about having enough to eat,” Mr Carbines said. “This funding brings our total investment in food relief for Victorians to more than $39 million since the start of the pandemic. “With this assistance, food relief organisations across the state will be able to continue their important work getting food out to vulnerable members of our community in a COVIDSafe way.” Geelong Food Relief Centre chief executive Collin Peebles said the centre’s $115,000 grant would be used to buy fresh, nutritious food to supply to families and individuals in need across the G21 region. “The impacts on the supply chain … has made food rescue hit or miss [and] therefore regional foodbanks are having to purchase more fresh food than ever before,” he said. “With many more people in isolation due to COVID-19 close contact rules, we’re seeing unprecedented demand for food. “We’ve been delivering food hampers to ensure those people who don’t have food

He also said the centre was on the lookout for volunteers. “We always need volunteers – we’ve been impacted like many organisations by

Police appeal for witnesses Police are appealing for witnesses following the arrest of a man allegedly driving erratically in a stolen vehicle from Geelong to Werribee on Monday, February 7. Police observed a stolen black Hyundai hatchback at the Plantation Road-Henty Street roundabout in Corio at 5.30pm. The Hyundai hit the police vehicle as police attempted to intercept it, before allegedly speeding off. The Air Wing tracked the vehicle from Geelong, observing it speeding and being involved in a number of collisions and near-misses. The vehicle broke down on Princes Highway in Werribee where the driver was arrested. The 20-year-old Corio man is currently assisting police. Anyone who observed the black Hyundai driving erratically or who has dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at crimestoppersvic.com.au. Apollo Bay Police are also calling for the community’s help in relation to a crash last week.

Turn to the experts for help with foot and heel pain Affecting more than 80 percent of people at some point in their lives, foot pain is extremely common, with heel pain being the most common of all human foot complaints. Despite their frequency, these conditions are often mismanaged and incorrectly treated. This leaves many sufferers spending time and money on treatments without long-term solutions or relief. Why are such common problems seemingly so hard to treat effectively? Dr David Kavanagh, one of Australia’s leading food and leg pain specialists, provides some answers. “Besides the fact that the feet are one of the body’s most complex structures and we are on them all the time, there are two major reasons foot pain and particularly heel pain treatment is often ineffective, especially long-term,” says Dr Kavanagh, who heads Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Geelong West. “Either only the symptoms are being addressed and not the underlying cause or the exact nature of the condition is not being identified or understood. “For example, most heel pain is incorrectly assumed to be an inflammatory condition when it is nearly always a result of nerve impingement or tissue degeneration, tissue thickening is often mistaken for inflammation, contributing to incorrect diagnoses and treatment. “This is a big problem because treating a degenerative condition with anti-inflammatory treatments may actually cause further tissue damage, making your condition worse.” A recent study has shown that the later stages of lockdown may contribute to an increase in foot and knee pain and injuries worldwide (nature.com). This is largely due to an increase in slips and falls around the house with people wearing slippery socks or non-supportive shoes, like slippers, for extended periods.

Phone Foot and Leg Pain Clinics Geelong now for $50 off initial consultations.

However, post-lockdown predictions are showing a further increase in foot and leg issues. “When people return to normal work and exercise, after an extended period of decreased physical activity, the body can lose condition, increasing the risk of overuse syndromes and

tissue stress resulting in injuries,” Dr Kavanagh said. Foot and Leg Pain Clinics has been successfully assisting adults, children, seniors and professional athletes with common and complex foot and leg concerns for the past 15 years and has helped many with pain and

injuries throughout COVID lockdowns. If you’re experiencing any foot, heel or knee pain, you can see Dr Kavanagh at Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Geelong. Phone 1300 328 300 now and ask about the clinic’s current offer of $50 OFF initial consultations.

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

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

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK

MIDSOMER MURDERS ABC TV, Friday, 8.30pm

RUGBY LEAGUE 9Gem, Saturday, from 5pm

MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT Nine, Monday, 7.30pm

There are all sorts of players in detective dramas, from petty criminals, to untrustworthy relatives and dodgy businessmen. But when you’re searching for the most entertaining type of murder mystery character, it’s undoubtedly the psychic. This week, Midsomer Murders fans are probably inwardly tap-dancing in delight at the premise of the long-running series latest murder puzzle, “The Witches of Angel’s Rise”. Featuring psychics, occult followers and mediums, it has spooky covered. After a woman’s body is found surrounded by ritual symbols on the eve of a psychic fair, DCI Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon, pictured) and DS Winter (Nick Hendrix) are plunged into the spiritual world.

Footy fans can rejoice; the game is back with a triple header to kick-off the 2022 season. After the pandemic played havoc with fixtures and venues last year, Sydney is for the first time hosting the showpiece All Stars event, with a men’s contest, a women’s clash and even a touch football game. Live from CommBank Stadium, the Indigenous All Stars (including South Sydney playmaker Cody Walker, pictured right) will take on the Maori All Stars (featuring Penrith prop James Fisher-Harris, pictured left) in a lively match, with spectators sure to be fired up and in good spirits. The event will hopefully mark the start of a season that returns some semblance of normalcy to passionate fans across the country.

You vowed and declared that you wouldn’t be watching this latest series of melodramatic matrimony, but after one glimpse of the eye-catching cast your resolve miraculously dissolved like a wayward dose of botox. This season, the brides and grooms are as ambitious, outspoken and as game for a fight – and affair – as ever. It’s sassy, superfluous TV at its lowbrow best. Resident sex therapist Alessandra Rampolla’s (pictured) second-ever intimacy week begins with some couples blooming, while others struggle to connect, both physically and emotionally, with their partners. Whether you tune in for the slim chance of a love story, or the thrill of the petty squabbles and flirting, there’s almost something for everyone.

FRAMED SBS, Tuesday, 9.30pm

Sometimes, the truth really is much stranger than fiction. When awardwinning journalist, presenter and podcaster Marc Fennell (pictured) learnt about the infamous theft of Picasso’s Weeping Woman in 1986 from the National Gallery of Victoria, he was gobsmacked and, in true journalist style, needed to find out more. This four-part true-crime doco launched on SBS On Demand late last year and it’s plain to see why it has become their most successful digital series ever: it’s a largerthan-life riddle which is amazingly still yet to be solved. In tonight’s first episode, the bizarre art theft, complete with outlandish ransom notes, is given the fine-tooth comb treatment.

Geelong flick on the world stage By Ash Bolt A Geelong theatre group will have its work shown on the world stage next month, with its debut feature film to be shown at one of the largest international indie arts festivals. Back to Back Theatre, known for its innovative and collaborative productions featuring with an ensemble of actors with disabilities, will be one of seven projects to screen at South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Austin, Texas on March 12.

‘‘

It is strong evidence for more inclusive film-making and storytelling teams

’’

- Alice Fleming The film, Shadow, is the theatre company’s first feature film and was directed by Bruce Gladwin, produced by Alice Fleming and co-written by the group’s core performing artists Michael Chan, Mark Deans, Sarah Mainwaring, Scott Price, Simon Laherty and Sonia Teuben, with Gladwin. Filmed on location in and around Geelong in December 2020, Shadow builds on the success of Back to Back’s debut short film, Oddlands, creating a feature film that was provocative and challenging, and provided opportunities for people with disabilities both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. A Back to Back Pictures production, Shadow is a darkly humorous 56-minute film based on Back to Back Theatre’s award-winning 2019 play The Shadow Whose Prey The Hunter Becomes.

The film was jointly funded by the federal government’s Department of Social Services, the City of Greater Geelong arts and culture department’s Arts Industry Commissions Program and supported by Screen Australia through the COVID-19 Budget Support Fund Program. Shadow stars Back to Back’s professional

ensemble, with Scott Price, Simon Laherty and Sarah Mainwaring in lead roles, playing a trio of disability activists who hold a public meeting, desperate to save the world. As the meeting unravels, they discover the greatest threat to their future is already in the room. Price said Shadow was a “story that needs to be told”.

Comedy Festival coming to Geelong Laughter will head to Geelong this week, with the region being the first stop on the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s tour around the state. The state government has increased its investment in the festival this year, which has allowed festival organisers to bring stand-up comedy to regional Victoria ahead of the festival’s opening in late March. Geelong will host the first of the festival’s ‘Outta Town’ shows at the Geelong West Town Hall on Friday, February 11. The show will be a double-header with a RAW Comedy heat show, hosted by Daniel Connell, showcasing the best amateur stand-up comedians from 6pm, before well-known Australians comics Geraldine Hickey, Nath Valvo and Brett Blake take the stage from 8.30pm. The roadshow will then hit the road, visiting Mildura, Swan Hill, Warrnambool, Ballarat, Hamilton, Portland, Bendigo, Wangaratta and Wodonga throughout February and March. Melbourne International Comedy Festival director Susan Provan said it was pleasing to be able to bring the best of the festival to Geelong.

“We are excited to be partnering with Visit Victoria to deliver greatly expanded opportunities for comedy fans in the coming months,” she said. “The series of comedy weekends in regional Victoria will be a wonderful opportunity to bounce back and reconnect with our audiences and is a great excuse for a weekend getaway.” Tourism, Sport and Major Events Minister Martin Pakula said the program, which has been funded through Visit Victoria as part of an $85 million commitment to 113 Victorian creative arts entities announced this week, will bring economic benefit to businesses and communities impacted by the pandemic. “The Melbourne International Comedy Festival is more than just a good time – it delivers major benefits to businesses and helps support local jobs,” he said. “We’re investing in expanding the festival to fill more venues across Melbourne and regional Victoria.” Details: comedyfestival.com.au/outtatown

“It’s about artificial intelligence and disability activism,” he said. “The fact that it is premiering at a festival such as SXSW shows that it is a beautiful piece of work, and the importance of telling stories from perspective of people with disabilities.” Fleming said it was “extremely exciting” to see Back to Back transition onto the screen. “Shadow’s world premiere status at SXSW is something we dreamed about, but didn’t imagine would be possible for our debut into feature filmmaking,” she said. “It is strong evidence for more inclusive film-making and storytelling teams. We couldn’t be more thrilled.” Gladwin said the film used dramatic and documentary-style elements to tell the story of a group of activists who “discover their own prejudices are their biggest obstacles to saving the world”. “Thematically, we wanted to understand individual and collective responsibility and question how we come together to make decisions that are in the best interests of society,” he said. “As artists we are seeking alternative models of story creation and screen production. Created over two and a half years through conversation and improvisation, the performers are also the co-authors, 95 per cent of the people on screen are people with disabilities, and the majority of the crew roles are fulfilled by interns who identify as people with disabilities supported by professional mentors. “The narrative thematic and the film’s philosophical approach to the process of creation are intrinsically linked. This is community filmmaking.”

Juniors invited to orchestra jam By Ash Bolt

The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s Jams for Juniors: Swan Lake will introduce children up to five years old to orchestral music. (Supplied)

Geelong Arts Centre’s 2022 Family Magic program is set to kick off next month with a special performance from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Kicking off the year’s junior program, the Geelong Arts Centre and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will present Jams for Juniors: Swan Lake on Saturday, March 19. Led by celebrated music educator, presenter, author and composer Karen Kyriakou, and featuring musicians from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Jams for Juniors invites children aged up to five and their parents

and carers to pull up a cushion and explore Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. Each immersive performance is 45 minutes, including 10 minutes for participants to ‘Meet the Instruments’. Having proved a popular addition to the Geelong Arts Centre Family Magic program in previous years, Jams for Juniors is the perfect way to introduce babies and toddlers to the magic of music. Geelong Arts Centre families, youth and creative learning senior producer Kelly Clifford said the show was a great way to introduce children to classical music. “We are thrilled to be bringing the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra back

to Geelong with their Jams for Juniors performance of Swan Lake,” she said. “This immersive, interactive performance is a great way to experience the joy of music-making with any young kids in your life, whilst introducing them to the magic and wonder of orchestral instruments.” The show will be the first of the centre’s Family magic program, which features six monthly shows designed for children under the age of 12. Geelong Arts Centre’s 2022 Family Magic program is supported by Creative Victoria and Deakin University. Details: geelongartscentre.org.au/ family-magic-2022.

Rock royalty heading to Costa Hall Indisputable member of Aussie rock royalty, Jon Stevens, is set to transport fans back to 1987 with an electrifying, hit-filled performance at Costa Hall, Geelong, on Saturday February 26. Off the back of a sell-out 2019 tour, with a little bit of 2020-21 madness thrown in the mix, Stevens is back tributing the legendary bands that catapulted him into Australian rock’s hall of fame. Featuring special guests Boom Crash Opera, the performance will bring to life smash hits Take Me Back, New Sensation, Touch, Don’t Change, Hot Chilli Woman, Never Tear Us Apart, No Lies and many more. Inspired by an unexpected 2018 backstage reunion with dear friend and former bandmate Andrew Harriss – a co-founding member of INXS – Stevens reflected on his expansive 40-year career and the exhilarating time spent fronting INXS from 2000 to 2005, and The Noiseworks and INXS Collection tour was born. An assault of the senses with nothing but relentless hits, live music-lovers of the G21 region can expect a visceral charge of emotion to transport them back to 1987 and press play on the huge songs that made up the soundtrack of their lives. Stevens said on social media he was excited to bring the show on the road and be back on stage after being forced into rescheduling his shows over the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Final tickets have been released at geelongartscentre.org.au. Finucane and Smith’s Dance Hall is set to get the Potato Shed rocking on February 19. (Supplied)

Life is a cabaret at the Potato Shed Creators of world famous cabaret and variety, Finucane and Smith, are making a return to Drysdale’s Potato Shed with a repeat performance of Dance Hall on Saturday, February 19. Developed at the Potato Shed in 2018, Finucane and Smith’s Dance Hall has toured Victoria to great acclaim. The structure is simple – the Finucane and Smith artists take the role of callers, choir leaders and on-the-floor enthusiasts, as the local community engage in dancing and singing; creating an active and joyous community night out. The choice is yours to dance or enjoy the

night from the comfort of your seat. Like barn and bush dances of old, and salon, from French cabarets to Irish pub concerts, Finucane and Smith’s Dance Hall was born out of Finucane and Smith’s deep engagement with regional and remote communities. It is a supper dance, a bring-a-plate celebration, a storytelling and dance extravaganza. International cabaret star and Finucane and Smith director Moira Finucane said she was pleased to be returning to the Potato Shed next week. “We’ve taken breathtaking variety, jaw dropping dance and irresistible cabaret all

over the world … but the Bellarine is one of our favourite destinations, hands down, no contest,” she said. “And this time, our line-up of international stars is joined by your local talent for a knees up like no other. “You’ve got the best food, the best folk, and yes the beautiful belles and beaus of the Bellarine are going to shake their groove thang. “From line dancing to Islander grooves, rock ’n roll to burlesque, Bellarine’s got talent. Grab your valentine, dress up, bring a plate and get ready for a great night.” Details: geelongaustralia.com.au/ potatoshed.

KEEP IT LOCAL

Advertising feature

Get aboard the ride of a lifetime at Adventure Park With huge crowds of people wandering around an enormous site with rides, attractions and a wide range of food options, Adventure Park has always been a huge hit for families and friends from near and far. However, following the beginning of the pandemic, the park was forced to shut for several periods due to lockdowns. Despite this, Adventure Park has added a multitude of awards to its trophy cabinet, with the most recent being the Regional Business Award at the Geelong Chamber of Commerce’s Business Excellence Awards.

‘‘

Our goal is to increase our ride offerings ... keep guests coming back and keep surprising them

’’

- Joel Shillinglaw Taking out the award for the second year in a row, Adventure Park conquered challenges posed by the pandemic and enacted systems to further the high standard of the safety and satisfaction provided to patrons. “Our business is centered around three months of the year, and when that gets shut down, it is quite debilitating,” Adventure Park’s guest experience and sales manager Joel Shillinglaw says. “We spent the winter in anticipation, building ticketing systems to cope with capacity limits and restrictions - we organised our COVID-safe plan, enacted policies, and got planning on the Winter Glow Festival.” Narrowly dodging lockdowns, the park’s Winter Glow Festival was held over the school holidays from June 25 to July 10, with every night aside from one sold out. With a variety of light installations, fire twirling, ice sculpting

displays and real snow, kids and adults alike were stunned at the incredible sights of the festival. Following all health guidelines closely, the park was able to successfully conduct its festival and the work that staff completed over the course of the pandemic has been solidified in the park being awarded the Chamber of Commerce’s Regional Business Award for

2021, proudly sponsored by Gartland Property. “Winning this award has just been a confirmation of all the work that we’ve been doing – these new ticketing systems mean we can forecast our guest attendance to comply with capacity limits and make the admissions process as smooth as possible,” Joel explains. “From here, our goal is to increase our ride offerings, continue to invest back into the park,

keep guests coming back and keep surprising them!” The 2021 Geelong Business Excellence Awards were held as a virtual awards night on Tuesday 19 October, 2021 and celebrated the region’s clever, creative and resilient businesses and business leaders. Elle Cecil

MOTOR

A ‘spicy’ city runabout from Kia By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Google tells us that “Picanto” relates to the Spanish and Italian words “picante/piccante”, meaning “spicy”. The Kia Picanto does have a “spicy” look that could also be called cute. This is one of the smallest and cheapest models on the Australia new car market. However, it does have a fair number of the features that new car buyers are looking for.

Styling The Kia Picanto GT-Line update for 2022 has revised styling of the front and rear bumpers which is intended to see it through until the arrival of the next model that’s anticipated within the year. The shape works well with a cuteness that’s almost playful so is aimed at the young as well as the young at heart. Our car was black with red highlights in the lower areas of the body.

Interior The styling of the dashboard area is neat with the screens taking up most of the area to give it an attractive look. The seats in the GT-Line are well shaped and have a definite sporty look by courtesy of the red trim around their edges.

Infotainment As part of this update all Picantos now have an 8.0-inch infotainment display, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There’s space for a smartphone and there are single USB and 12V outlets.

Cute as a button, Kia Picanto is a great little city runabout.

There is 62kW of power, and 122Nm at 4000rpm. Keep in mind that this is a “-Line”, not a “GT” and this makes sense - it’s more about show than go, which is fine by many buyers. Our test car had four-speed automatic transmission - yes four speeds because this is a car that’s getting seriously old by today’s standards. As mentioned, a new model is due within a year or so and we can expect it to be significantly better in its powertrain. Somewhat oddly the manual is a five-speed unit so has more ratios than the auto. We might try to borrow a manual to see how it compares ye-olde automatic.

Again, be aware a new model is coming. This updated model has city-speed autonomous emergency braking. This is certainly handy given that too many drivers are spending time talking on their phone or composing texts and having the car after them is a plus. Either that or educate drivers on the need to pay 100 per cent attention all the time. Okay, I’ve always been a wishful thinker. You may say I’m a dreamer … with reference to the late, great John Lennon. There are two IsoFix points and top tether points for child seats.

Driving

Engines / transmissions Picanto GT-Line has a four-cylinder 1.2-litre engine, which is less powerful than the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol in the GT.

(Supplied)

Safety Picanto only has a four-star ANCAP safety rating, and that dates all the way back to 2017.

This is very small car so legroom in the back is tight for adults. Kids under the age of about 12 will be fine but any older than that will have to

chat with the driver and come to a deal about sharing the space. Performance is okay, though hardly in the “GT” class. If you’ve got 320 kilograms of people the passenger seats and/or are driving up hills the Picanto will feel as though it’s struggling at times. Again, the four-speed auto is a pain because it’s going to drop back a gear and the engine jumps up in revs - as does the fuel consumption. Though the Picanto is small it has a 2400mm wheelbase so it works well, even on bumpy roads. The ride is quite firm if you look at it as being in the GT class it’s acceptable. Cornering is pretty good and the lightweight makes it fun to drive on your favourite stretches of country roads. There is a 4.2-inch multifunction display in front of the driver. Both this and the centre screen are reasonably sharp and easy to read without the driver having to take their mind of the road ahead. Official consumption for the automatic GT-Line we tested is 5.8L/100km on the combined cycle. During our week with the Picanto we used seven to nine litres per hundred around the suburbs and five to six litres in the country and on motorways and level-road country driving. Like all Kias the cute little Picanto has a seven-year, unlimited distance warranty. Which is a huge benefit in this class as buyers are likely to be young and not have much of an income.

Summing up Kia Picanto is a cute little hatchback at a more than reasonable price. It looks great and drives pretty well for what it is. Though it’s getting on in year and doesn’t have the latest in safety features it should certainly get a place on your list of cars to test drive.

Cats hold on in an AFLW thriller By Ash Bolt Geelong has held off a last-minute barrage from West Coast to record its first win of the 2022 AFL Women’s season. The Cats led on the scoreboard for most of the game at GMHBA Stadium on Friday night, but gave up the lead with just two minutes to go in the final quarter. But less than 30 seconds later they were back in front, when Darcy Moloney intercepted an errant West Coast handball deep in the forward 50 to kick the winning goal. The Eagles piled the pressure on for the final 90 seconds, but the Cats held on to claim the win 4.3 (27) to 3.6 (24). It was the Cats’ first win since round nine last year and the first win at home since round four 2019.

Coach Dan Lowther said the win gave the team confidence it was moving in the right direction, after a two-point loss the week before. “It allows a bit of validation to creep into the group that the last five weeks have been on the right track and the things we’ve been prioritising have been the right things,” he said. “It wasn’t pretty at times [on Friday night] but to come back after being pushed for four quarters, it was really pleasing.” The Cats took the lead early, kicking two goals to none in the first quarter, but were only able to add one more across the third and fourth quarters as the Eagles were able to keep the ball locked in their half. “It was a frustrating game,” Lowther said. “After playing pretty good footy in the first

quarter, West Coast upped the ante a little bit in the second quarter and the third. “I thought we’d probably gone away from the way we prefer to play our style, but the girls have fought back over the last four weeks from positions where they could win, should win, but didn’t, so it was really good to get the reward.” Reigning best and fairest Amy McDonald was the standout for the Cats with 20 disposals, 12 clearances and seven tackles, while Becky Webster (20 disposals and 11 tackles) was also vital in the midfield. Vice-captain Nina Morrison was solid in her return, starting in defence and moving on ball into in the thick of the action in the final quarter. Phoebe McWilliams kicked two of the Cats’ goals, while Webster and Moloney kicked the

other two. Moloney said it felt amazing to get the win and the group was looking forward to building on the momentum. “We’ve been building every week towards it, so to get that win gives us a lot of hope going forward,” she said. “Going down by two points [against] really lit our fire in our bellies and we knew if we could do it against the reigning premiers then we could do it against West Coast.” The Cats were originally scheduled to have nine-day break ahead of their round six game against Gold Coast in Southport, but will now play in the marquee Friday night game for the second straight week due to COVID-related fixture changes. Geelong currently sits 10th on the ladder halfway through the season.

Woorrangalook surf titles a success The Woorrangalook Victorian Koori Surf Titles were held at the weekend at Urquhart Bluff at Aireys Inlet, celebrating surfing and Indigenous culture. More than 50 surfers from across the state gathered to celebrate the 24th annual event, which brings together Indigenous communities for a weekend of surfing and indigenous culture. Numbers were down on previous years due the current impact of the COVID-19 pandemic facing Victoria, however smiles were aplenty with strong representation from Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast, as well as visitors from further afield like Phillip Island, Ballarat, Melbourne and Warrnambool and south-west Victoria. The event was opened on Saturday by Wadawurrung elder Corrina Eccles and cleansed with a traditional smoking and mixing of the waters ceremony. 26 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 11 February, 2022

Competition followed and participants were greeted with small surf and onshore winds. With the assistance of surf coaches and volunteers in the water, the junior competitive divisions were held first. Young Geelong region surfers had some wins on the day, with Geelong’s Millie Hughes and Grace Tournier taking out the under-eight mixed and under-13 girls’ competitions respectively. Armstrong Creek’s Arlee Livesey also claimed a win in the surf, taking out the under-10 boys’ competition. Competitions were held in under-16 and under-18 levels as well, followed by the women’s open and masters. Torquay’s Linley Hurrell proved too strong in the open competition, while fellow Torquay surfer Corrina Eccles was victorious in the masters. The tag team event rounded out the day with

Ballarat and District Aboriginal Cooperative taking first place from Wadawurrung, CFMEU and Surfing Victoria. Tricky conditions met competitors on Sunday for the men’s open and masters. Rhys Collins from Red Hill had a strong day on the board and was victorious in both divisions, clean sweeping the day. Both Collins and Hurrell will now go onto represent the Victorian Indigenous community on the larger stage, after gaining a wildcard into the 2022 Rip Curl Pro Trials at Bells Beach. The Surfing Victoria encouragement award of a surfboard was awarded to Armstrong Creek’s Ruby Boagers and Geelong’s Aiden Tournier. The determination award was taken out by Ballarat’s Hunter Sisic.

A former Grovedale footballer will have the chance to live his dream after signing with the Gold Coast Suns for the upcoming season. The club announced Monday James Tsitas had won the last place on the club’s list for the 2022 AFL season, after he spent the summer training with the club. He has signed as a rookie and fills the list spot left by Hugh Greenwood’s surprise decision to leave the club for North Melbourne as a free agent. He had been competing with former Collingwood and St Kilda midfielder Nathan Freeman for the list spot. Gold Coast Suns player talent and strategy general manager Craig Cameron said Tsitas was a good fit for the club. “We’re thrilled to be able to welcome James to the Suns, he’s worked relentlessly on his game over a number of years and now gets his opportunity at the highest level,” Cameron said. “Suns fans will love the way he goes about his football in a tough, competitive way, he has a great attitude and will really complement our midfield group.” The 26-year-old midfielder had been training with the Suns for the past month and officially joined his teammates this week. He spent the 2021 season playing for Woodville-West Torrens in the SANFL, where he won the Magarey Medal as the league’s best and fairest and the 2021 premiership. Tsitas played his junior football with Grovedale and the Geelong Falcons but went undrafted in 2013. He then played in the VFL for North Ballarat and Geelong, where he also captained, from 2014 to 2019 before returning to Grovedale for one season. He had originally intended to remain in the VFL with Williamstown in 2020, but after COVID-19 impacted the season, he headed to Woodville-West Torrens, where he became one of the SANFL’s premier midfielders last year.

Stakes raised for Open By Ash Bolt The stakes have been raised at the Vic Open this week, with the men now playing for a chance to enter one of the world’s most prestigious golf tournaments. The R&A, the organiser of the Open Championship, announced last week the top three non-exempt players would receive invitations to play at the home of golf, the Old Course at St Andrews in Scotland, for the 150th Open in July. The Vic Open was added to the list of Open qualifying tournaments after the cancellation of the New Zealand Open in Queenstown, scheduled for March, because of border closures. The decision to transfer the qualifying spots over to this week’s event at 13th Beach on the Bellarine Peninsula is a huge boost

for the Vic Open, which is resuming after a year’s hiatus caused by the global pandemic and border issues. None of the players entered in the Vic Open field are qualified to play in the Open Championship in 2022, meaning the top three finishers at 13th Beach on Sunday will all head straight into the field for the Open at St Andrews. Golf Australia chief executive James Sutherland said it was a “massive opportunity” for Australian golfers taking part in the Vic Open. “As we enter the final stages of preparation at 13th Beach, this is very exciting news for our tournament, and such a wonderful opportunity for the eligible players,” he said. The R&A championships executive director Johnnie Cole-Hamilton said it was pleasing to be able to up the stakes at the

Vic Open. “The Vic Open is a leading event and we are grateful to Golf Australia, the ISPS Handa PGA Tour of Australasia and the Victorian government for agreeing to our request to offer players the opportunity to qualify for the 150th Open through it,” he said. “We look forward to seeing who emerges from the field next week to take their place at St Andrews.” The Vic Open kicked off on Thursday and is part of both the WPGA Tour and the PGA Tour of Australasia.

Bluefin tuna a popular catch ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos Once again this week the bluefin tuna off Barwon Heads has dominated reports with the bite going absolutely ballistic. Boats trolling lures such as Halco Lazer Pros and Nomad DTX Minnows have been working very well and so too have skirted lures with the aid of a spreader bar or daisy chain. The 50-metre line has been super productive and where majority of the action is at, with fish ranging between 10 and 25kg. As the sun comes up the surface fishing has been fantastic for anglers casting stick baits and poppers into the schools on the surface. Maria Duck Dive Poppers have been very good as a popper and nomad riptides have been a lethal stick bait to throw. Kingfish have continued to be in good numbers across the coast, although not massive in size there does seem to be plenty out there. When the fish aren’t seen on the sounder or on the surface, trolling white occy skirts with a fresh squid strip has been working very well and a great way to locate the schools of fish. When sighted casting poppers into them has been working an absolute treat as well as floating stick baits. Mako sharks offshore at the moment are still in fantastic numbers with plenty of reports coming in with fish getting up over 80kg. The 55m mark off Torquay has proved to be quite productive but the biggest key to success is getting away from the hundreds of boats chasing for tuna as a stationary boat attracts them right to you. Inside the bay has been fishing quite well also with Alcoa pier proving to be a bit of a hot spot over the past week with pinky snapper, salmon, flathead and whiting all in fantastic numbers near and around the structure. All species are responding well to both bait and lures, a great spot at the moment for a feed of fish. Calamari still remain in good numbers across Hermsley and Clifton Springs with depths between two and four metres proving very productive with natural colours working very well. After a bit of rain we have copped over the past few weeks the Otway River and streams will have some nice flow going through them at the moment and could fire the trout up big time. I haven’t heard any reports come in but could be well worth looking at.

Race for midweek finals heats up LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers Tennis Geelong’s midweek ladies were treated to a beautiful day this week, with the temperature pushing into the 30s. For the Section 5 ladies, the action on the court was just as impressive. Portarlington pushed itself into the top four with a 4-2 win away from home over St Stephens. The match was even through the first four sets with St Stephens taking both the first and fourth sets 6-3, while Portarlington took the second 6-2 and the third 6-4. The final two sets went to Portarlington 6-2

and 6-4, with the difference for the winners being Wendy McLennan, who took her three sets for the day. Aireys Inlet also moved into the four this week with a convincing win at home against Highton. The home team started well and was pushed in the opening sets, but prevailed 6-3 and 6-4. Sets three and four were a little one-sided with Aireys taking them both 6-1, and then the fifth 6-2, but Highton rallied to take the last 6-2, to give Aireys a 5-1 win. Moolap consolidated itself at the top of the ladder with a 6-0 win over Surfcoast Blue Jan Juc. The two teams have played each other over

a number of seasons, and the play is always competitive. While the end result was one-sided this time, this has not always been the case, so the rematch in round nine will be one to watch. The last match of the round saw Surfcoast Black Torquay host Clifton Springs, and keep itself in second place. The home team set itself up for a solid win in the first two sets, taking them 6-3 and 6-1. The third and fourth sets were split with Black taking the third 6-1 and the Springs getting through the fourth in a tie-break. The Springs got its second set in the fifth 6-3, but Joanne Dow won her third set for the day with Jenny Newton in the last to give Black a 4-2 win.
