Geelong stand-up comedian Tim Young will achieve a long-held dream this month when he performs his own solo show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. About 20 years after he first took the stage at an open mic night in Brisbane, Young will present his debut solo show, Tangent, at one of the world’s largest comedy festivals until April 10. Young said it was a dream come true to perform at the festival after his 2020 show was cancelled due to the pandemic. Tangent has been described “a love letter to the tangent” in which Young spends the hour-long performance trying to tell just one single story, while getting distracted with humorous anecdotes along the way.

Mixed reaction to budget By Ash Bolt Geelong residents are set to benefit from moves to address the rising cost of living, but there was little other benefit to the region in the federal budget, according to Corio MP and deputy opposition leader Richard Marles. Treasurer Josh Frydenberg on Tuesday handed down the budget, which included several short-term measures to address cost of living pressures. Among those was a six-month cut to the fuel excise – from 44.2 cents per litre to 22.1 – which Mr Frydenberg said would result in a drop in fuel prices. The budget also included a one-off $420 tax break for people earning less than $126,000 per year added to the low and middle income

offset from July 1, while welfare and pension recipients, concession card holders and some self-funded retirees will also receive a one-off $250 payment. “This budget’s new cost of living package is responsible and targeted, delivering cheaper fuel, cheaper medicines and putting more money in the pockets of millions of Australians,” Mr Frydenberg said. However Mr Marles said there was very little in the budget that would benefit Geelong residents. “This will be a budget that many in Geelong are disappointed by,” he said. “There is no investment by Scott Morrison and the Liberals across Geelong and the region.” G21 Geelong Regional Alliance chief executive Giulia Baggio welcomed the relief

measures in the budget. “The increase in the cost of living is felt very acutely in the G21 Geelong region,” she said. “Our communities are very car dependent and the sharp rise in petrol prices puts immediate stress on household budgets. This leaves fewer dollars to cover the rising cost of food, housing and other essentials. “The immediate budget relief is welcome. We hope to see a commitment to longer term solutions when the election campaign gets under way. “In particular, our growing communities are calling for heavy investment in a variety of transport infrastructure to give people the option of using public transport, to cycle or walk, all of which are very limited at the moment.” City of Greater Geelong deputy mayor Trent Sullivan added the city would lobby for more

targeted funding in the lead-up to the election. “The budget recognises that many households are struggling with cost-of-living increases, and there are several short-term initiatives that will assist in this area,” he said. “We also welcome ongoing funding for key infrastructure projects in the region, which are being delivered via the landmark Geelong City Deal. “Securing federal support to deliver the infrastructure our rapidly growing communities need remains a key focus for council. “We look forward to seeing more targeted commitments for our region, aimed at ensuring Geelong’s long-term economic, social and environmental sustainability, in the upcoming election campaign.”

Floating gas emissions concern By Ash Bolt A new report has claimed Viva Energy’s proposed floating gas terminal in Corio Bay would be a “persistent source of emissions” that would make it difficult for the City of Greater Geelong to reach its emissions targets. The report, compiled by Ironbark Solutions and commissioned by ACF Community Geelong, claimed Viva Energy’s existing operations made up 35 per cent of all emissions in the City of Greater Geelong, which would increase to 52 per cent with the floating terminal.

The City of Greater Geelong has a community-wide target of net-zero emissions by 2035. Geelong Renewables Not Gas spokesperson Tony Gleeson said the future emissions meant the project should be allowed to go ahead. “The City of Greater Geelong is building a reputation for sustainability and is aiming to cut emissions to zero by 2035, but Viva Energy’s gas terminal project puts all that in jeopardy,” he said. “Viva says it will use offsets to cancel the impact of a small part of their emissions, but carbon offsetting doesn’t reduce the carbon

dioxide level in the air. It’s just an excuse to keep polluting.” A Viva Energy spokesperson said the company had “taken every effort to minimise the environmental footprint of its proposed gas terminal, including addressing carbon emissions” and the report contained errors. “In order to minimise emissions, Viva Energy plans to run the gas terminal in ‘open loop mode’. This means seawater is used to warm the LNG, avoiding the use of boilers in the regasification process. This means significantly less greenhouse gas emissions than under a ‘combined loop’ scenario, which

this report suggests we will use,” they said. “The report also includes emissions from transporting LNG. For the sake of transparency we included estimates of these in our report, however, under established reporting protocols, they are not included in emissions estimates for the gas terminal. If these emissions were added to the Geelong emissions tally, they would be counted twice.” The spokesperson said there was “a very rigorous process underway” to assess the proposed terminal.

Call for special drug court

Cheers to the return of beer festival After being postponed in January due to the latest wave of the pandemic, Geelong’s Great Australian Beer Festival is ready to go this weekend. Brewers and performers will take over Johnstone Park on Saturday, April 2 for a day full of entertainment and beer tasting. The festival will be split into two sessions – from 11am-4pm and 5-10pm – with attendees able to indulge in over 200 of the finest hand-crafted beers, ciders, cocktails and wines, as well as local street food. Festival director Kieran Blood said he was glad the festival was finally able to go ahead. “We were heartbroken to postpone in

January, but knew it was the most responsible thing to do,” he said. “However, the community support has been overwhelming with 95 per cent of ticket holders retaining their tickets. “We are so excited to finally have the opportunity to deliver the GABF experience that everyone knows and loves while offering a COVID safe environment. We aim to deliver the perfectly crafted beer festival experience.” Along with the entertainment, including The Badloves, The Settlement, local acts The Violas and Izzy Losi, Art vs Science, Fulton Street Band and emerging locals, Beans and

Immy Owusu, the highlight of the festival will be the Masterclass and Brewers Stage, hosted by industry icon and qualified cicerone, Tiff Waldron. “GABF is all about our love for local beer – the masterclasses, forums, beer-food pairings and brewer talks are another great way for those who are just entering the world of craft beer to discover more about the beers and the brewers around them,” Mr Blood said. The festival is expected to bring around 8000 people from across Victoria and interstate to the Greater Geelong region.

A Torquay-based MP has called for a business case into a specialised drug court in Geelong to be undertaken. In his budget submission to the treasurer, Western Victoria MP Stuart Grimley asked for the business case to evaluate the need for a drug court in Geelong, following the opening of the specialised court in Ballarat. “It is great to see the Ballarat Drug Court officially open. It’s proven that these courts make a big difference to our justice system. I’d like to see more of them throughout the state, starting with one in Geelong,” Mr Grimley said. Data from the Crime Statistics Agency showed there 1523 were drug-related offences committed in the City of Greater Geelong in 2020 and 1020 in 2021. Mr Grimley said the rates were clear “there is a need for a specialist drug court in Geelong”. “As a police officer in Geelong I was able to see the revolving door at the courts. You would often see the same offenders going in and out of court on similar charges time and time again. This could be reduced by funding a drug court,” he said. “The question remains, if we know that drug courts work, why isn’t the government looking at making more of them? I look forward to working with the government to see this business plan come to fruition.” Mr Grimley said drug courts also made financial sense, costing on average $26,000 per participant compared to approximately $197,000 for a two-year incarceration. He said he was hopeful the business case would be funded in the next state budget.

New road treatments and a school crossing supervisor are helping pupils to safely travel to a growing primary school in Mount Duneed. The jointly funded City of Greater Geelong and TAC project included upgrades to street lighting, improved line marking and the installation of a raised pedestrian crossing outside Mirripoa Primary School. The city has also relocated the school crossing supervisor from the traffic signals to the new crossing on Unity Drive, to help children cross the road during peak periods. Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said the crossing would encourage more people to walk or ride their bikes in the area, while linking into existing services such as Club Armstrong and the playground. “Enrolments at Mirripoa have grown quickly, with more than 300 students attending

Deakin moves on sexual harm By Ash Bolt Deakin University has committed to working with students to make it easier to report sexual harassment, after a national survey revealed startling results about sexual harm in the community. The National Student Safety Survey, which asked university students’ for their perceptions off safety and experiences relating to sexual harm, released its data last week. The survey revealed almost one in eight Deakin University students who participated had experienced some form of sexual harassment in a university setting during their studies. It also showed 4.5 per cent had experience sexual harassment at university in the past year, while 3.7 per cent had been sexually assaulted in a university setting. The figures were all below the national average. Deakin University deputy vice-chancellor Professor Liz Johnson said the survey data also revealed the need to increase student awareness about access to support services and where to go to report incidents. “The national and Deakin results highlight that around half of students knew nothing or very little about the formal reporting process for sexual harassment or sexual assault,” Professor Johnson said. “In addition, only 6.7 per cent of students who were sexually harassed went on to make a formal complaint to the university. “The data also highlights that around half of students know little about where to seek

support or assistance for harassment or sexual assault. Only 17.7 per cent of students who were sexually harassed sought support or assistance from Deakin. “In response, we have already made this information more prominent online and on-campus, and we will work with our students to improve communication and understanding. “We take a proactive approach to preventing sexual harm. We have a strong foundation of policies, procedures and programs and are committed to working towards improving how we respond to and support those in our university community who have been affected.” Deakin University vice-chancellor Professor Iain Martin welcomed the release of the survey’s data and said in response, Deakin would continue strengthening its prevention, safety and support programs. “While the data reflects that, for the vast majority of our students, Deakin is a safe place, even one instance of sexual harm is too many,” he said. “Deakin has worked with our staff and students for many years to build a strong culture of safety, mutual respect and inclusion but there is always more to do. “Together, we must continue to confront the scourge of sexual harm both at universities and across our broader communities. This behaviour has no place at Deakin, and with insights from the NSSS, we have strengthened our Respect and Sexual Harm programs to continue supporting our students and changing attitudes and behaviours.”

Safer river platforms Locals will have safer and easier access to recreational activities on the Barwon River, with four new multi-use platforms installed. Water Minister and Bellarine MP Lisa Neville visited the Barwon River parklands on Tuesday to open the Wal Whiteside Multi-Use Platform, Yollinko Wetland Walk and Multi-Use Platform, Rowing Precinct Landing Extension and Marnockvale Launching Facilities Upgrade. The platforms have been installed close to existing assets and structures maximising the benefits to river users. “The Barwon River is a much loved piece of the Geelong community and the new access ramps will encourage more people to get out enjoy our beautiful waterways,” Ms Neville said. Upgrades to the landings at Geelong

Canoe Club and Corio Bay Rowing Club will make launching at both locations safer and more accessible in all river conditions. The platform at Wal Whiteside Walk has been replaced so it provides motorboat mooring, kayak launching and a dedicated land-based fishing area. The new platforms are part of the state government’s recreational values program which invested $570,000 for the works. The project also received $30,000 from Corangamite CMA, $50,000 from Victorian Fisheries Authority and $76,000 from City of Greater Geelong. This action plan focuses on connecting parkland trails, revegetation, riparian fencing and weed management to strengthen the resilience the waterway.

Women take their art to the Geelong streets A group of women street artists will turn walls and laneways in Central Geelong into their canvas to celebrate women in art and contribute to the city’s artistic culture. The City of Greater Geelong’s $150,000 Street Art Commission Project has commissioned nine women artists to complete creative works in the city throughout April. A selection panel has curated the program to coordinate artists with sites around Little Malop Street, Little Ryrie Street, James Street, Wright Place, Cuzens Place, Minns Lane, and Ryrie Street. The project aims to strengthen the representation of women artists in street art given it has largely been a male dominated industry. Artists commissioned by the city include

Community bike park given the green light Surf Coast Shire Council will move forward with a community-designed upgrade of the bike park at Jan Juc’s Bob Pettitt Reserve, after finding it wouldn’t pose a significant insurance risk. Councillors voted at a council meeting on March 22 to move ahead with the community-led design of the upgraded park after review by Municipal Association of Victoria Insurance found the shire would not be exposed to “unacceptable risk” from the upgrade. Surf Coast Shire Council chief executive Robyn Seymour will be responsible for approving the final park design, after it is formally endorsed by the Surf Coast Mountain Bike Club and Anglesea Bike Park Community Asset Committee. The council had previously resolved in December to work with a park design prepared by community members including local young riders, supported by members of the club and committee. Once approved, the shire will appoint a local contractor to complete site works with the support of skilled volunteers. A former member of the Anglesea Bike Park Community Asset Committee, councillor Mike Bodsworth said the review by insurance specialists was an important step for the project. “They were confident that council would be able to manage risks effectively, and provided recommendations for our risk mitigation work,” Cr Bodsworth said. “Community members have completely led design of the park, with some advice from council officers. “We appreciate their enthusiasm and devotion for the project and believe this community-led model will result in a more appealing park for riders and importantly a stronger sense of ownership for the users.” The park design caters for all age and skill levels and is double the length of the existing park. It includes seating and paths and planting of trees to screen the park from the adjoining road and properties, and from the reserve’s performance space.

The Broderick Road site in February 2022 and, right, the site in April 2019.

Clean up nears the end By Ash Bolt Almost 90 per cent of waste left at an illegal dumpsite in Lara has now been removed. The Broderick Road site’s operator C&D Recycling had let waste stockpiles reach unsafe levels before going into liquidation in 2019, forcing the EPA into clean up. EPA Victoria Broderick Road clean-up project manager Michael Fitzgerald said the EPA had now removed more than 252,474 cubic metres of waste from the site. He said that was around 88 per cent of the 286,200 cubic metres of waste left on site in 2019, with less than 33,749 cubic metres remaining. Mr Fitzgerald said waste removal was on track to be complete in June this year at the current rate.

“Each week thousands of cubic metres of waste are removed from the Broderick Road site and transported to licensed landfills, reducing the hazard onsite and bringing us a step closer to finishing this significant project,” he said. “The project team is conducting testing and surveying of the site to ensure that once the final stockpile is removed the site will no longer pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment. “This testing will include ground penetrating radar scans to check below the surface of the former stockpiles. “When waste removal is complete the site will also be assessed by an independent occupational hygienist.” Mr Fitzgerald said the final cost of the clean-up would be determined once the

project was complete. He said EPA would continue to use its powers to work to recover the clean-up costs by pursuing the site’s former occupiers and any other relevant parties. City of Greater Geelong councillor and Lara resident Kylie Grzybek said it was pleasing to see the clean up getting close to complete. “The Lara community will welcome this news that the clean-up is now so close to being finished. It has been a long journey, but both the EPA and the city have done an excellent job working through a very complex operation while keeping the community’s safety front of mind,” she said. “We now look forward with anticipation to seeing the final truckload of waste being removed from the site in the not-too-distant future.”

The event, run by Solve Disability Solutions, will give people living with disability the chance to try accessible sports including archery, wheelchair rugby, table tennis, wheelchair badminton, dance, hockey, pickleball and bike riding, and connect with local sport clubs. Solve Disability Solutions recreation development co-ordinator Tim Marchinton said the aim of the day was to get people connected with their community. “Being involved in sport is about making connections and friends, and feeling more connected to society. “It’s like a slice a of the happiness pizza, it is important to feel like you’re part of something … and that’s why we run these days,” he said. The benefits of the program were recognised last year at the Victorian Disability Sport and Recreation Awards, where Mr Marchinton was named administrator of the year for his work with the program across the state.

Conviction for dumping rubbish By Ash Bolt A Miners Rest man has been convicted and fined $6000 for dumping skip bin loads of waste at a Lara property. Joshua Luke Kostecki faced the Horsham Magistrates Court last month after he was charged by EPA Victoria with three illegal dumping offences. EPA told the court Kostecki was running a skip bin hire business when he dumped loads of industrial waste on two properties in Lara and Werribee. The waste included timber, household waste,

tyres, furniture, mattresses, plastics, piping, carpet, plaster board and concrete. EPA issued the man with a clean-up notice in December 2019 after an inspection revealed dumped waste on the Lara property. The notice required him to stop accepting waste at the site, and remove all of it for lawful disposal by January 17, 2020. The court was told a follow up inspection showed the waste had not been removed and more had been stockpiled at the Lara site between March and April 2020. Kostecki was the occupier of the Lara property at the time. In April 2020, EPA officers responded to

a report of illegal dumping at another site in Werribee and found evidence of trucks dumping skip loads of waste during the night. The skips had been collected from customers around Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula through March and April 2020, all using the accused man’s business. EPA then charged Kostecki with two counts of dumping industrial waste at unlicensed sites, and one of failing to comply with an EPA remedial notice. EPA South West Victoria acting regional manager Alison Muscroft said there was no profit to be made in committing the offence.

“This kind of offending is all about avoiding the cost of taking waste to a properly licensed facility for recycling or disposal. Dumping industrial waste on the environment means trying to dump the cost on the community or the landlord,” Ms Muscroft said. “Individuals have paid money to Mr Kostecki in the belief that their waste is being handled in a legitimate manner. This court outcome sends a clear message that illegal dumping will not be tolerated, and offenders will have fines added on to the costs of cleaning up.” Kostecki was also ordered to pay costs of $3000.

Changerooms finished Footballers and cricketers at Thomson are celebrating the completion of new changerooms at Thomson Reserve. The Thomson Football Netball Club and Thomson Cricket Club have access to new female-friendly and accessible changerooms at the reserve, funded through a state government grant program. The new facility is designed with an movable wall, which can create two smaller changerooms from one larger one. The AFL-sized changeroom features full shower and toilet cubicles, along with accessible toilet and shower. The City of Greater Geelong provided $150,000 towards the development while the state government contributed $500,000 through a Sport and Recreation Victoria grant for female-friendly sporting changeroom facilities. Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said the new

changerooms would support the clubs as they continued to grow their membership and would cater for a surge in women and girls taking up football and cricket. “Council was delighted to assist with this project because we firmly believe participation in physical activity and encouraging people to come together in sporting clubs benefits mental and physical health,” Cr Sullivan said. “Women’s sport has exploded in Greater Geelong in recent times, and we need to have the facilities to accommodate this growth.” Geelong MP Christine Couzens said the project was vital in supporting the return of local sport. “With grassroots sports back on the park, more than ever growing communities and clubs like those here in Thomson need quality facilities they can depend on,” Ms Couzens said.

White Night will return to Geelong in October this year, with tens of thousands of locals and visitors expected to attend the event and provide a significant boost to tourism businesses. After being cancelled in 2021 due to lockdowns, the state government announced Friday the popular event would return on October 8. The event, organised by the state government through Visit Victoria, was first held in Geelong in 2018. It attracted 70,000 visitors to Geelong and injected $6.1 million into the region. Supported by funding from Major Events Fund, the state government is planning an “extra special” event following its cancellation last year. The program, directed by Joseph O’Farrell, will feature artists from the categories of installation, visual art, lighting, audio-visual, projection, film, music and performance. The theme will be ‘everything on the land is reflected in the sky’.

Geelong MP Christine Couzens said the event’s return would bring enormous benefit to Geelong businesses. “We’re excited to stage White Night in Geelong again and proud of the energy it brings to the community and the major benefits it provides to hospitality businesses, hotels and retailers in the city,” she said. This year it is expected thousands of visitors will once again visit Geelong to see the city transformed through illumination with a program that celebrates the city’s reputation for design and its rich music scene. South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman said the event would complement the return of the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach in 2022. “Regional major events are back in a big way with Geelong and the Surf Coast welcoming White Night and the Rip Curl Pro back to the calendar this year, which will draw thousands of visitors into the region,” he said.

We’re celebrating Nature Play Week (6-16 April) with some special activities and invite pre-schoolers and their families to join us for a free community event. Our theme Djila-tjarri Yerran is Let’s Play in Nature in traditional Wadawurrung language. Let's reconnect with nature and get messy with mudball mindfulness, get creative with natural crafts or get up close with a range of reptiles! Come along and enjoy the fabulous activities, offered by talented providers celebrating the beautiful resources that are at our ﬁngertips. Get your children involved and encourage their love of nature play at Djila-tjarri Yerran, Let’s Play in Nature, at Northern Bay Family Centre, 3-25 Goldsworthy Road, Corio on Wednesday 6 April from 11am to 2pm.

Shell Reserve upgrade complete The Corio Community Sporting Club, Corio Cricket Club and the Corio community are set to benefit from the completion of a major works project at Shell Reserve. The Shell Reserve netball courts and cricket nets upgrade project saw the demolition of the existing netball court, construction of two new netball courts and the development of new cricket nets. City of Greater Geelong deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said the $975,000 city-funded project was vital to ensuring the tenant clubs and local residents were given an opportunity to access high-quality facilities in their own neighbourhood. “Corio has a proud history of sporting involvement and facilities of this nature will cater for continued growth of both the Corio

Community Sporting Club and Corio Cricket Club,” Cr Sullivan said. “The fact that the existing cricket training facilities were outdated and in need of being upgraded was a key driver of the project. “There’s no doubt that both the new nets and courts will be of enormous benefit to residents of the Corio region.” Sport portfolio chair Ron Nelson said having high-quality sporting and recreation facilities was necessary when encouraging the community to remain physically active and engage with local sporting clubs. “It is important that, with the continued growth of the Corio region, we have the facilities available to cater for the number of residents looking to remain active and involved with these two clubs,” Cr Nelson said. “The creation

of three new cricket nets will also provide an opportunity for the cricket club to develop its junior program, while doubling the capacity of the netball facilities will ensure more access to involvement for the region’s netballers.” The major works complement a larger infrastructure project which included the redevelopment of the Shell Reserve changerooms. Work on the changeroom redevelopment started in December 2021, with the city successfully securing a grant for $500,000 from the state government’s Local Infrastructure Fund – Female Friendly Facilities stream. The council has allocated just over $3 million in its forward budgeting to the changeroom redevelopment. Ash Bolt

Viva Energy Gas Terminal Project Update

Viva Energy is seeking approval to develop a new Gas Terminal at the Geelong Refinery. The Gas Terminal would bring in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) by ship to boost natural gas supply ahead of projected shortages, heating homes and supporting industry in Victoria and south-east Australia. A rigorous assessment process Over the last 15 months, Viva Energy has completed detailed technical studies as part of the regulated Environment Effects Statement (EES) for the project. The EES is a rigorous assessment to identify potential impacts of the project on the local community and the environment, overseen by the Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning. The studies and assessments show that we can build and operate the Gas Terminal safely, while minimising impacts on the community and the environment. Jobs for Geelong, Energy for Victoria The Gas Terminal would generate jobs for 150–200 people during construction and create 50–70 permanent jobs and new skills in Geelong. It is a key project for our Geelong Energy Hub which will see the refinery site not only provide half of the state’s fuel needs, but move towards supplying transitional energies such as gas and renewable energies such as solar and hydrogen. We have been part of the community for nearly 70 years and are excited about the future.

Environment Effects Statement The EES, together with draft Planning Scheme amendment, the EPA development licence applications for the FSRU and the amendment to the Viva Energy Reﬁnery activities and the pipeline licence application are now available on our website. Make a public submission During the public exhibition period members of the public can make written submissions on the EES, draft Planning Scheme Amendment, EPA development licence applications, the pipeline licence application. The submission process is independently managed by Planning Panels Victoria and open until 11 April 2022. For further information visit www.engage.vic.gov.au or call 136 186.

MY GEELONG Portarlington artist Amanda Firenze’s latest artwork, Paper Women, is on show at the Geelong Library. She spoke to Ash Bolt about why she loves living on the Bellarine and her next project. What’s your connection to the Greater Geelong region? We moved to Portarlington in 2017 and we have since bought a house here. My husband is from Ocean Grove originally and I have lived on and off in Geelong and the surrounds over the years, but since moving back from our last interstate stint of 10 years, we worked out pretty quickly that Portarlington was where we wanted to permanently settle.

What, if anything, would you change about where you live? Development is always a contentious issue – I understand it is necessary and needed in some ways, but I am always hopeful that it will be well done with minimal impacts where possible. For example I understand why the new Panorama estate is going in, but I will miss seeing those olive trees every day. Where is your favourite local place to

(Supplied)

What do you like about where you live? Portarlington still has that lovely laidback coastal feel that I associate with the Bellarine from when I used to come here for holidays as a kid. The locals are friendly and the town is quirky and cute – you don’t have to walk far to see things that make you want to know more. For example when we got here I spotted an old sign on Newcombe Street that was just an empty, ornate frame. Not long after, someone then filled it in, but I’ve never seen anything written in the frame – it just sits there blank, and has done for years. It makes me smile every time I walk past it … and it makes me want to put one of my artworks up in it just to see what happens! spend time? Probably not a surprise to say that my favourite local place is the beach. But my second favourite has to be sitting somewhere close to the beach, with a hot jam donut in one hand and a coffee in the other ... pure bliss! Tell us something people would be surprised to know about you … This question really has me stumped! I am such an open person and I tend to work a lot

of personal stuff into my artworks, so I am not sure there are too many surprises left for the people that know me. One thing that is slightly odd I guess is that I have moved house a ridiculous amount of times – 33 so far. Which is probably why I am so determined to stay where I am now, and why I am also excellent at throwing things away … makes moving a whole lot easier! What project are you working on now? My artwork Paper Women is still on exhibition

at the Geelong Library and Heritage Centre, but I am also just about to start working on my next project – an interactive street artwork called The Privilege-O-Meter. Luckily I have received a grant from the Geelong Arts Centre through their Creative Engine program, so I will be spending the next couple of months researching the best way to get the artwork out of my head and onto walls hopefully around Geelong.

Ingenia Communities has launched its 2022 ‘Ingenia Connect’ program, designed to support residents to live independently.

Community connection keeping older Aussies healthy Ingenia Communities has launched its 2022 ‘Ingenia Connect’ program, designed to support residents to live independently by proactively connecting them to services and support. Historically, the average length of stay for Ingenia Gardens residents is 3.3 years, but the most recent resident data has shown that this increases to 4.5 years for residents who are part of the Connect program. “Ingenia Connect builds relationships with local health and community services to tailor care and support to individuals, removing the need for residents to find services themselves,” says Ingenia Gardens and Ingenia Connect portfolio manager, Madonna Jackson. “Our residents then choose the provider they

feel most comfortable with, giving peace of mind to families.” Ms Jackson says that the new Ingenia Connect program has been built on the considerable learnings gained from delivering care programs over the last 14 years. “We have had proven success with our care and support services, and I’m really excited to see what we can achieve this year. Starting from the perspective of ‘connection’, our vision for the new program is to establish relationships with residents as they transition into living at an Ingenia Gardens Community. “I’m looking forward to working with our key partners this year including Silver Chain, myHomecare and Five Good Friends who service different geographic regions,” Ms

Jackson says. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the number of Australians using home care and aged care increased in the decade from 2010, demonstrating the need to do more to support senior Australians’ health and wellbeing both within and before they reach aged care. Silver Chain commercial business development manager Dorothy Fuller says she is excited about the partnership this year and how close engagement with Western Australia and Victorian residents will enable Silver Chain to co-design bespoke support programs for older Australians. “Everything we do at Silver Chain aligns with Ingenia Connect’s purpose to help older

Australians live independently for as long as possible, which is why this is such an important partnership,” Ms Fuller says. “By working closely with Ingenia Gardens and the individual communities we are hoping to help people form a different view of ‘care’ – one that’s about being proactive, about making life a little easier and extending their independence for as long as possible.” If maintaining your independence for longer in a low-maintenance home within a friendly community appeals to you, call the Geelong Community Managers on (03) 5248 8426 or (03) 5248 5011, or the Grovedale Community Manager on (03) 5241 3011 or visit www.ingeniagardens.com.au

Cultura recently celebrated its brand launch with directors of the newly-merged Diversitat and MACS. (Supplied)

Cultura welcomed as the new face of multiculturalism A new era has begun for Geelong’s multicultural communities, with the unveiling of ‘Cultura’ as the new name of the organisation formed from the merger of Diversitat and MACS. Cultura is a Latin term relating to ‘cultivation’, ‘to tend to’ for ‘improvement’ and reflects the diverse nature of the people the organisation works alongside. “By joining forces at Cultura, we combine over 70 years of knowledge and experience from Diversitat and MACS – which have

historically been two of the Geelong region’s largest and longest serving multicultural organisations,” says Cultura chief executive Joy Leggo. According to Ms Leggo, the actual logo itself has been well received by the community due to its striking, bold, progressive and colourful brand mark as well as the story behind it. “The circular symbol is representative of the four corners of the globe coming together. The term ‘cultures’ can reflect diverse sub-cultures within a whole, including people of all ages

and stages, genders and abilities,” Ms Leggo says. “I am thrilled to start this new journey as CEO of Cultura with an exciting new brand that reflects who we are and our vision and goals as Geelong’s largest multicultural voice and support network.” With the launch now completed, the critical community support work continues for the Cultura team. “We have an ambitious intent to connect, inspire and embrace culturally diverse

individuals throughout their entire life journey, and after 70 years, I think we’re just getting started,” says Ms Leggo. Cultura supports people with a range of services including settlement services, youth and community programs, arts programs and cultural events, community services and aged care. Cultura also provides a support network and a unified voice for multicultural communities in Greater Geelong. Find out more at cultura.org.au

The Guide ESCAPE TO THE PERFECT TOWN 7TWO, Friday, 8.30pm

Road to recovery: Artist Don Ashby is one of hundreds of residents struggling to rebuild after the Mallacoota bushfire.

Settle in for a spot of dreaming, with idyllic cottages and lush rolling hills, in this easygoing new series, fronted by charming former Paralympian Steve Brown (pictured). Cut from the same cloth as British stalwart Escape to the Country, the series helps people find their new home in a new country town. In this week’s premiere episode, Brown helps a couple who are looking to escape the sky-high London property market. With a £280,000 ($A500,000) budget, they are amazed at the lifestyle they can afford. SPACE INVADERS Nine, Saturday, 7.30pm

Behind closed doors, there are hordes of people hiding an embarrassing secret: they are living in a clutter crisis. Now in its second season, Space Invaders follows decluttering guru Peter Walsh, renovation whiz Cherie Barber and treasure hunter Lucas Callaghan (pictured, right, with Walsh and Barber) as they restore tidiness and peace to people’s homes and lives. New parents Caroline and Adrian are overwhelmed by the chaos their small children create. The time has come for the pair to restore order to their home. THE 64TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS Prime7, Monday, 8.30pm

Awards ceremonies can be a yawninducing affair, but when it comes to the Grammy Awards, it’s all about the spectacle. The musos milk their time on the red carpet with outlandish and extravagant outfits, and most of the winners don’t share the same dignified speeches as someone from the Academy Awards; it’s a rollicking affair. Hosted by Trevor Noah (pictured) from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, this year’s nominees include Jon Batiste, Doja Cat and Justin Bieber.

The small Victorian seaside town Mallacoota became the face of climate change the world over when the sleepy hamlet was engulfed by a 200km wall of flames on New Year’s Eve, 2019. Shocking images of the stained red skies and ruthless bushfires shocked the world as scores of tourists and locals were taken aboard a Navy ship to safety. Premiering tonight, this six-part observational documentary lifts the lid on the devastated town’s outspoken, traumatised and ambitious inhabitants as they seek to rebuild on their own terms, without the help of outsiders. Featuring searing honesty and revealing the shocking extent of the disaster, it’s a sobering yet fascinating story of endurance.

Empowering students at Geelong Baptist College

Freshwater Creek Steiner School is passionate about fostering each child’s individual talents and interests. (Supplied)

Supporting each student Freshwater Creek Steiner School (FWCSS) was founded by a group of dedicated mums in the late 1980s. Since then, it has evolved into a primary school as well as a kinder and currently has 177 pupils between playgroups, the kindergarten and all the way to year 6. Set on 24 acres of farm and bushland in Freshwater Creek, the school has a partnership with the farm next door, allowing children to engage deeply in the farming and environmental care program. Steiner Education is a growing international movement, with more than 1500 schools worldwide offering playgroups to year 12. The curriculum is based on Dr Rudolf Steiner’s childhood development principles and is aimed at creating an environment and activities that allow each child to fully develop their unique physical, academic and emotional capacities and identities. Steiner Education is a very different approach to mainstream schooling. The students develop strong relationships with

the staff. They are supported to grow as individuals while developing the knowledge, skills and sensitivities they will need to grow into capable and confident teenagers. Primary children have lesson units focused on world stories from different eras. These are supported by specialist subjects including Japanese, handcrafts, music (singing and instruments), painting, farming, gardening and lots more. All subjects are taught through the creative arts, with many hands-on activities, camps and incursions. “FWCSS provides a creative education of the highest quality, supporting the children to develop clarity of thinking, sensitivity of feeling and strength of will,” says head of school Gabby Brennan. FWCSS is located at 52 McIntyres Road, Freshwater Creek. For more information, contact info@fwcss.vic.edu.au, phone (03) 5264 5077 or visit www.fwcss.vic.edu.au.

Discover a day in the life at Christian College Geelong Christian College campuses will open their doors on various dates in May, with no booking needed to take a tour, catch a glimpse of a day in the life of the college and ask any questions you may have about the benefits of a Christian college education. Principal Glen McKeeman says while the college also proudly regards any school day as an open day, where parents can book a personalised tour at any time that suits them, opening campus doors next month provides an opportunity to do that simply by dropping in at the open times on the nominated dates. “We have always conducted open days in the past and invited parents to come and see firsthand what we do on regular school days –we don’t schedule any special activities or presentations on open days – it’s about visitors seeing how we run every day,” he says. “In this way, they can witness how our college operates by observing teachers and students interacting in learning environments as they do in the normal course of events. “Because of our approach to open days over the years, this year, we are really promoting the idea that people are welcome any time to come and see a normal school day in progress – so every day is open day. “But we also want to open our doors to give parents an opportunity to visit on a day in May without having to book a tour and make an appointment with a head or deputy head of campus. It also gives some of our students the opportunity to lead tours.” There are five Christian College campuses: Junior School - Belmont (Years P-4) Middle School - Highton (Years 5-9) Bellarine Campus in Drysdale (Years P-9) Surf Coast Campus in Torquay (Years P-4 in 2022; Years P-9 by 2027) Senior School-Waurn Ponds (Years 10-12)

St Therese encourages respect and compassion

Children are encouraged to think critically at Nazareth Catholic Primary School. (Supplied)

Take a journey of wonder Nazareth Catholic Primary School views children as capable and competent. It values an educational environment which empowers the child to thrive with the ability to achieve multiple learning outcomes in a variety of contexts. This means as a learning community, it asks lots of questions, continually probes thinking and does a lot of talking, as it grapples with new knowledge within its own existing worldview. The focus is on the process of learning which is situated in the child’s particular place and time. This approach enables the child to contribute at his or her point of interest and need, developing theories about how they see things. Why does Nazareth investigate and apply these ideas for learning? As a society, our mission is great. We need to ensure we are developing critical thinkers who are both entrepreneurial and flexible. Education needs to continue to adapt and change to the needs of the world around us. This means we must encourage the child to

think outside of the box and to experience success and challenges in a psychologically safe environment which fosters taking risks and making mistakes. We need to be open to the child, to learn from the child, and ensure learning is authentic and situated in his or her own context. We need the child to experience learning that is connected to him or her. Where do other areas of the curriculum fit? All areas of the curriculum can be found in this model of learning. Staff and students work together to develop thinking which sees the child applying and learning new knowledge which is not bound by a particular learning block. While the school values this Discovery time, Nazareth engages in timetabled explicit Literacy, Maths, Religious Education and Italian learning across the school day. School tours can be scheduled by phoning (03) 5243 0502.

Nature and learning go hand-in-hand at Lisieux

Positive environment lets children be their best

Educators at Lisieux Catholic Primary School in Torquay share a belief about the importance of nature in a child’s development. They are very aware that children thrive in nurturing environments and encourage them to explore and engage meaningfully with the world around them. Founded in 2018, Lisieux Catholic Primary School features beautiful ocean views and strives to integrate authentic endeavours wherever possible, with staff having set themselves the ambitious target of conducting 30 percent of learning outdoors. “We’ve seen firsthand how students respond to being in nature,” says principal Dr Susan Ryan. “They demonstrate greater creativity; develop an appreciation and respect for nature; have improved oral language and social skills, and are generally less anxious.” In 2021, Lisieux took its outdoor learning philosophy a step further with the introduction of its Seeds for Growth program. The school’s curriculum reflects an Inquiry Mindset, and includes specialist programs in a continuum from prep to year 6. “Central to our vision is that we want to foster students’ sense of awe and wonder, stimulate their curiosity and help them make sense of the world,” Dr Ryan says. “In nature, they learn to take risks, explore and develop a sense of gratitude for our world. We are in the process of constructing our curriculum around that understanding.”

St Catherine of Siena Catholic Primary School is a growing learning community in the heart of Armstrong Creek. Its core focus is to nurture authentic relationships and build a positive learning environment for all, where opportunities are created for children to feel safe and valued, to engage in their learning and to be empowered to excel. Learning experiences at St Catherine of Siena create opportunities for pupils to know themselves and to form rich connections with the natural world, each other and our local community. The school has carefully designed an extensive wellbeing program where physical activity, mindfulness, regulation skills and social emotional learning are embedded into daily experiences, enabling all pupils to achieve improved spiritual, physical, emotional, social and academic outcomes. The school’s Outdoor Learning Program is a key arm in its wellbeing approach. Local residents might come across pupils in the nearby woodlands and creek reserves exploring natural resources, taking on personal challenges and developing their environmental awareness and sense of responsibility as stewards of creation. The newly purpose-built facilities, playground and gardens have also been designed to support pupils’ connection with each other and the outdoors. Whilst wellbeing is the foundation of developing engaged and empowered learners, the school also prioritises the fundamental skills associated with reading, writing and mathematics, with daily targeted instruction times and a structured, sequenced learning approach.

Lisieux Catholic Primary School places a high value on the relationship between young people and their outdoor environments. (Supplied)

Learning in depth at Surf Coast Secondary College Surf Coast Secondary College (SCSC) opened in 2012 as the only stand-alone government secondary school in Torquay. The school is committed to ensuring that every student is challenged, motivated and engaged in their learning and feels that they belong in their school community. As a relatively new school, SCSC has always had a focus on ensuring that it is catering to the modern needs of its students and facilitating a curriculum that develops students as capable and active citizens of both the local and global community. Most commonly mentioned by school visitors on a tour or visit is the welcoming and vibrant atmosphere that flows freely in every corner of the school. This atmosphere does not just happen – it is an aspect of the school that every staff member works hard to ensure is present in everything they do, and stems from the college values of Strive, Unite, Respect and Flourish. Long gone are the days when using blackboards and sitting in rows constituted the majority of the school day. A key focus of principal Erin Wright and her team is the promotion and facilitation of independent and active learning. The teaching staff at SCSC believes in the premise that the more actively a student participates, the more they will engage in their learning, which more than often translates into improved outcomes and greater depth of learning.

It’s never too early to enrol at the Geelong College With unprecedented growth in the Geelong, Bellarine and Surf Coast regions, places at schools such as the Geelong College are becoming increasingly difficult to find. “Even though school, or for some families, secondary school might seem a long way off, the time to enrol your child is now so that you are able to secure a place at a school of your choice,” says principal Dr Peter Miller. “We have waitlists at almost all year levels for 2023 and 2024. It is a privilege for us to serve the Geelong community, and to see such high demand for our school instills a sense of pride, but it does bring with it disappointment for some as there are a finite number of positions available.” The Geelong College now recommends enrolling at least five years before your preferred year of entry, so at birth or soon after for early learning and foundation, or year 1 for year 7 entry. It understands that for families moving to the area, or for boarding families, this may not be possible, so the school intends to assist with places where possible. Enrollment applications are processed in date order approximately two years prior to the entry year, with current siblings and the children of Old Collegians receiving priority. The college’s award-winning junior school, which opened in 2020, has allowed an increased intake numbers from early learning to year 3. If you are considering a Geelong College education for your child, the school encourages you to consider enrolling in the junior school where, for 2023 and beyond, there are limited places available. Visit the school for an open day to experience The Geelong College difference. The Geelong College is located at 20 Talbot Street, Newtown. For more information, phone (03) 5226 3111 or visit www.tgc.vic.edu.au. The Geelong College now recommends enrolling at least five years before your preferred year of entry. (Pictures: Supplied)

Help your teenager fight feelings of stress during VCE As many secondary students would be well aware, VCE is a time of stress, uncertainty and hard work. It is important to balance this stress with relief, uncertainty with predictability and hard work with relaxation. Studies show that small, regular breaks between study sessions can improve mood and productivity. As you approach upcoming SACs and start thinking about the looming exam period, remember that it is not maintainable to be constantly anxious. You should have time to destress and think about something other than exams and study for a while. Here are some ways to combat feelings of stress during your VCE studies: Positive self-talk: using negative language with yourself is neither beneficial nor deserved. Make an effort to recognise how much work you’re putting in and allow yourself to see how well you’re doing. You have worked hard to get this far, and you need to maintain your health and wellbeing throughout the year. Try to think of five things that you’re proud of yourself for doing either in or outside of your school life and reiterate that you’re capable of what you want to achieve. Visualise yourself doing well in your studies and receiving positive news when you receive results or feedback. Use some tangible grounding tools: have a cup of tea, play with your pet or scribble in an adult colouring book. It’s okay to forget about study for a while. In fact, it’s beneficial to spend some time after you study to allow the information to consolidate in your brain, so pick up a book or make yourself a snack and keep your mind occupied for a moment. Move your body: get the blood flowing! Whether you put on your favorite dance 26 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 1 April, 2022

playlist and boogie around your room for a while, do some yoga or go for a stroll with a friend, getting active will refresh not only your body but your mind as well. It will also assist in creating and releasing endorphins

to improve your mood and relieve feelings of stress. It’s likely that you’ve heard it plenty of times, but VCE is not the be-all and end-all of life. Despite the outcome you receive on ATAR

day, there are always a variety of ways for you to get into your desired career. Life will go on after high school and it is there to be lived, so make sure you make the most of it. Best of luck to all VCE students this year!

With each of the centre’s five rooms dedicated to a different age group, weekly sports and music classes are provided to children, with the daily curriculum focused on play-based learning. The Hive ELC Geelong is heritage-listed and won architectural awards in 2018, as well as several other awards for utilising a heritage space. “Our heritage section of the building was a community hall and a library – we celebrate our rich history, incorporating a library into our foyer where you can sit and relax with your child engaging in the beauty of literacy through books,” says centre director Christine Bristow. Set just off the Portarlington Highway in Newcomb, the Hive ELC team believes that communication is the key to successful and nurturing relationships. “We value families and communities and believe that every child is unique and brings with them their own personal characters to the centre,” Ms Bristow says. “We embrace and celebrate diversity and wecome each and everyone within our centre community and our wider community too.” An onsite cook prepares all children’s meals, and the menu is a wholefoods menu prepared with nutritionists’ advice and expertise.

With dedicated and passionate educators, a great location and engaging play spaces, enroll your child at the Hive ELC now for a four-week free promotion. “We welcome you to come and have a tour of our centre and experience for yourself the warm, loving and educational culture of our beautiful setting,” Ms Bristow says.

It is a common misconception that hearing loss is an issue that is usually only faced by older people. However, hearing loss is certainly a huge issue for younger people. The World Health Organisation reported that half of 12-35 year olds on the planet – over a billion people – are at risk of hearing loss because of over-exposure to loud sounds. In Australia, there were about 3.6 million young people with hearing loss in 2017. According to Deloitte Access Economics, this figure will double in 40 years. 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 1 April, 2022

(iStock)

Ear we go again Many people included in this startling figure are going to be today’s kids, teens and young adults who spend extended time on headphones, listening to loud music or playing games. Once hearing is gone, it’s really gone. However, steps can be taken to prevent hearing from getting worse. To give context to just how loud we can unwittingly turn up a device’s volume when they’re already in a noisy environment such as a train, construction site, or loud crowd, try

listening to the same volume level in a quiet room. It’s very, very loud, and that noise is literally hurting your ears. Try to limit the volume that you and your kids listen to music, watch television or play games at, whether it be through headphones or speakers. Reducing background noise will make it easier for you to hear the audio you wish to listen to without needing to crank up the volume. Noise-induced hearing loss is accumulative, so it can creep up on someone before

they either notice or acknowledge it. People around will notice a young person’s ‘deafness’, often attributing it to inattention or just a quirk. But it’s very real and it may be happening right now. Check your own volume or have a chat with kids and friends, otherwise they might wind up with hearing aids long before their senior years. For more information, visit www.hearing.com.au.

Sustainability responsibility Sustainability is a focus of many schools these days, with students often encouraged to engage in practices such as packing ‘nude’ lunches, recycling and switching off lights when not in use. How can parents help encourage their kids to be sustainable students? Here are eight tips from Sustainability Victoria: 1. Lunches – get the kids to make their own lunch and use containers suited to nude food, eliminating the need for disposable wrapping. If you do need to wrap, reusable beeswax wraps can be used. Find out about them online or do a course on making them at your local neighborhood house or community arts centre. 2. Make your own snacks – despite what they say, many kids have plenty of time on their hands. Teach them to make their own muesli bars and other snacks. Be patient, it’s a great life skill. They will learn to be more independent and have fun doing it! 3. Get more value – use the ‘Love Food Hate Waste’ website to get great recipes to use last night’s leftovers in exciting ways for school (and work) lunches. 4. Use what you’ve got – save money by digging out pens, pencils and other consumables from drawers, cupboards and bags, rather than buying new ones. Many stationery makers also have a range of notebooks made from recycled paper.

5. Textbooks and uniforms – most schools have secondhand book and uniform shops, but your local op shop is also worth trying. Many high school English and literature books are available for free on Kindle. For other subjects, ask teachers what the difference is with this year’s version of a textbook compared with last year’s, as the older edition may still be suitable. 6. Walking or riding to school is a great way to stay fit. It saves fuel and reduces vehicle pollution and traffic jams at the school gate. Otherwise, park a short distance from the school and walk with the kids and use it as an opportunity to teach road rules. Catching the bus may also be an option. 7. Buying a desk, bookcase or filing cabinet? Second-hand office furniture shops often have very modern goods at a much better price than new and they will last. It is also worth checking out Facebook Marketplace for some great quality bargains. 8. Ask your school to join the ResourceSmart Schools program offered by Sustainability Victoria. Supporting schools within the state to embed sustainability measures across the school facilities, community and curriculum, once a school joins the program, it will have access to an online portal to learn and practice ways of integrating sustainability while also saving resources and money for the school. For more information and ways to have a positive impact on the environment, visit www.sustainability.vic.gov.au.

Teaching your kids about sustainability and the environment will have a positive impact on the environment and their future. (iStock) Friday, 1 April, 2022 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 31

Grocery and Liquor Co opens Bell Post Hill store expanding this local family-owned business for owner David Williamson. “My first job as a kid was to stand at the back of the register and pack customers’ groceries and take them to their car,” David says. David’s son Joel is now the manager of the Newtown store, and the team is proud to be maintaining its family and community values. “I am a very passionate retailer that loves customer service and providing customers with high standards in shop presentation and

fresh foods,” he said. “Our company vision is to continually eploy good people in our stores and to allow our managers the opportunity to invest into future stores - we are a business, not a chain.” Both the Bell Post Hill and Newtown stores will be advertising their grand opening specials for the entire month of April. “Most small retail supermarkets can’t offer the range, pricing and customer service that my stores offer,” says David.

“We have the experience and supply chain to deliver fantastic business for small neighborhood communities.” Grocery and Liquor Co Bell Post Hill – 12 Beauford Avenue, Bell Post Hill.

FRIDAY FEATURE

Festival debut a dream come true Geelong’s Tim Young will achieve a long-held dream this month when he presents his own solo show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. He chats with Ash Bolt.

firefighter at the Geelong Refinery by day, Tim Young is a regular performer and promoter on Geelong’s stand-up comedy scene. But he will be taking to the stage at Melbourne’s The Charles Dickens Tavern with his debut solo Melbourne International Comedy Festival show, Tangent, from March 31 to April 10. Young said it was a dream to perform at of the one of the world’s most well-known stand-up comedy festivals. “I actually had a show ready to go at the 2020 comedy festival but as we all know now, that got cancelled,” he said. “I didn’t do it last year – I wish I had now but I don’t know, a little bit of me broke off when it was cancelled in 2020 so I didn’t do it last year. “But I’m finally doing it this year. I’m pumped and I’m terrified all at the same time. “When you’re trying to sell tickets and you haven’t got a big name to rely on – it’s just you – that’s terrifying, but it’s the dream to be involved. “I’ve always wanted to do a debut show at the festival. “I think if you’re going to be serious about your comedy – it’s a funny sentence, isn’t it? – but if you want to do it, you’ve got to do a solo show at the festival. “You have got to test yourself to do 50 minutes by yourself. I’m getting some of my friends to open and do five minutes for me, but to do 45 minutes – it’s a long time and you have to make sure that it’s tight and it’s good. “And again, it’s your name on the bill, so if it’s not funny, it’s your name that goes down the toilet. “So I’m nervous but I’m excited and I just really want to make sure it’s the best of the stuff that I’ve got.” He said he was feeling good about Tangent, which he described as his “love letter to the tangent”. “The show is basically just me trying to tell one story over the 50 minutes and just getting distracted the whole time,” he said. “Because that’s what my life is like – that’s all

You get your first hit, the first laugh, and then you just want it again and again and again - Tim Young

’’

I do, get distracted. “I get distracted half way through saying something and then I’m off on a tangent, going off in some other direction. I drive people nuts all the time. “But that’s what this show is all about. It’s one particular story that goes to all these other places – to remote Northern Territory, to Ballarat – we go everywhere with all these different distractions. “So hopefully it’s a good time.” Young’s debut comedy festival show comes almost 20 years after he got his first taste of performing at an open mic night. “I was always a bit of joker as a kid. My parents sent me to a very expensive private school and to be honest I probably wasted my

time and their money there,” he said. “I was never concentrating and if there was a chance to either drop a mate in it for a laugh or say something to get a laugh in class, I did it. “[Getting into stand-up comedy] always starts with being the loudest person in the room and then someone says, ‘why don’t you try it?’ “So for me it was in about 2002 when I lived in Brisbane, I had a mate, James Galloway, who actually signed me up for an open mic night and said, ‘righto, you’re doing it right here and right now’. “And it was good because it was the push I needed – if you leave it to yourself, you’ll never do it. “So I did it, and it’s been a bit like what I’m told drugs are like. You get your first hit, the first laugh, and then you just want it again and again and again. “Not long after that I moved to remote Northern Territory and worked there as a teacher for a while and I didn’t do a lot of comedy. “I really only got back into it about four or five years ago. But I found you never really lose that instinct to think that no matter how bad a situation is, one day this is going to be good material. “Gradually it’s got to the point where I want to try and do different things and challenge myself by doing an hour-long show. “I love it but it can be a tough mistress at times. When it doesn’t go well, it’s really bad. “I did a gig once in front of two people at the Gold Coast years ago. They were two people in their 60s or 70s and that was really, really hard. “I was literally up there just addressing them like, ‘Beryl and Des, have you ever s*** yourself at a party?’ or something like that and it just wasn’t working with them. “But then when it does go well, it’s fantastic. There’s no better feeling than being up on a stage and people are laughing at everything you’re saying.” Along with performing, Young’s passion for comedy has seen him organise shows in Geelong and Ballarat and promote stand-up

comedy in regional Victoria. With fellow comedian, Luke Massey, he runs LGF Comedy, which has brought many big names, including Dave Thornton, Harley Breen and Greg Fleet, to Geelong and given local comics a chance to perform locally. “We run nights at the Geelong West Town Hall and we’re doing about eight this year and we’re looking at hopefully doing 10 next year,” he said. “So there’s that and another guy, Blaise White, has started a weekly room at a bar in town and that’s great too. He’s getting local and Melbourne comedians come down and perform every weekend. “So the local comedy scene is really starting to flourish and it’s great because it means comedians can do good gigs without having to go up the road to Melbourne. “For years and years when I was in Ballarat, it was the case that if you wanted to do a decent gig you had to go to Melbourne, whereas now you can do them in Geelong or Ballarat or Warrnambool. “I think regional Victoria is starting to kick some goals on the comedy scene and that’s good because you get different voices, you hear different things, and we’re all about that.” He said he had seen a growing appetite from comedians to visit Geelong and other regional areas. “Obviously it’s all a business but people do want to get out of Melbourne,” he said. “I think there’s an element that comedians like to come out here and test their material in front of crowds that aren’t North Melbourne, Brunswick or Fitzroy and get away from the man buns and beards, not that there’s anything wrong with that. “And we always have good crowds here in Geelong, so it’s great.” Tangent runs every day, except Wednesday, between March 31 and April 10, starting at 6pm, with the Sunday shows starting at 5pm. “It’s a really good timeslot, because you can come and see my show and then stay and catch another one afterwards,” Young said.

ENTERTAINMENT

Federal funding for arts project Geelong’s Back to Back Theatre will receive almost $400,000 of federal government funding for a series of cultural events in the northern suburbs. The renowned theatre group was one of 91 organisations to share in $20 million worth of grants under the federal government’s COVID-recovery Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund. It will receive $394,500 towards a series of projects based around the northern suburbs of Geelong. Federal Arts Minister Paul Fletcher said the funding was kick start the arts sector. “The purpose of RISE is to back the arts

and entertainment sector to recover from the devastating impact of COVID-19 shutdowns,” he said. “We want to see venue doors thrown open to audiences; we want to see the curtains going up; and we want to see performers coming on stage to a welcoming roar of applause.” Back to Back Theatre co-chief executive and executive producer Tim Stitz said the funding would allow the group to strengthen its connection to its roots. “Back to Back was born in the northern suburbs – that where our genesis was – and a lot of our ensemble still live there or have connections there,” he said. “Our foundations in the northern suburbs

are still very deep, so with COVID impacting the industry, we thought what could we do? “We wanted to find something we could do to showcase our work in the northern suburbs – essentially invert what has been the case and take our work to the community, rather that it coming to see us in Drysdale. “So we’ve got some funding from the government that will allow us to look at the feasibility of some of the ideas we have for projects.” Mr Stitz said the projects, which the group was calling Northside, included presenting one of the group’s performances at a venue in the northern suburbs, expanding its Radial

community film projects to another school, and a public artwork. “We want to do something different and work with the young and the old in the community to create a message beacon,” he said. “Basically we want to create an artwork that projects the thoughts of the community.” Mr Stitz said the project was in its early stages and the government funding would allow the group to “leverage that support” and start planning. “It’s going to take a bit of time to get this off the ground … but we’re really looking forward to doing something hyperlocal within the northern suburbs,” he said.

Amy Shark to perform ARIA award winner and alt-pop singer songwriter Amy Shark will head to Geelong as part of her national tour this week. Shark announced a 42-date See U Somewhere regional tour from May to August, which will include a stop at Costa Hall. She will play at the iconic venue at Deakin University’s Waterfront campus on Saturday, July 23, where she will be supported by singer-songwriter Yorke. Shark said she was excited to be bringing her critically-acclaimed Cry Forever and Love Monster albums to regional fans across the country. “I’m the happiest when I’m on stage performing and I can’t wait to travel further into Australia where I’ve never been before, to explore some of these towns and meet everyone, it’s going to be a fun one,” she said.

“I don’t know when I’ll get the chance to do a huge Australian run like this again so if I’m coming to your town, you are mine that night. No excuses.” After bursting on to the global music scene in 2016, Shark’s APRA award winning song and number one Australian airplay chart hit, I Said Hi, made her one of the most well-known Australian artists. Shark’s debut album Love Monster was recognised in 2018 with four ARIA awards, including album of the year and female artist of the year, and went on to become the highest selling album by an Australian artist for 2018. Her latest album, Cry Forever, was released in 2021 and nominated for three ARIA awards, including album of the year.

The Potato Shed will host a range of shows for all ages, including performances from celebrated Australian musicians, tributes to the greats, and a world premiere stage adaptation of an explosive memoir of one of the world’s biggest stars. Arts, live entertainment and hospitality portfolio chair Eddy Kontelj said he was excited about the line-up at the Potato Shed. “The Potato Shed is highly regarded for its reputation as an extremely valuable resource for the Bellarine community and will fulfil a vital role as the festival hub for the Bellarine during Surround Sounds,” Cr Kontelj said. “The inaugural Surround Sounds will enhance our region’s contemporary music

scene and cultural heritage and the wide variety of offerings at the Potato Shed will undoubtedly provide something for everybody.

“Council is proud to be backing this event and I encourage everyone to get out and show their support for the Potato Shed and the many venues that will play host to some wonderful live music acts throughout Surround Sounds.” The Potato Shed will kick off its program on Friday, April 8 with an up close and personal performance from acclaimed performer Debra Byrne and guests Simon Phillips, Elvis Aljus and Chris Paraha. Two days later, on Sunday, April 10, the Potato Shed’s outdoor stage will host Her Story, Through Song, showcasing the depth of female musical talent in Geelong. Songwriters Carly Robertson, Rach Brennan, Annie-Rose Maloney, Andrea Robertson, Sarah Carroll and Sweet Felicia will share their craft to give hope to future generations and pave the way for original artists and women in general. The Potato Shed will then be transported back to the 80s on Saturday, April 23 when the INXS trbute band INXSIVE takes to the stage. In a shift of gears on Sunday, April 24, acclaimed musician Tenzin Choegyal will

be on the outdoor stage, taking the audience on a musical journey, transcending cultural boundaries, revealing ancient wisdoms. A week later, on Saturday, April 30, the Potato Shed will present Sun Rising: the Songs that made Memphis, a show that traverses the beginnings of rock n’ roll as the Sun Rising Band perform some of the biggest hits to come out of the legendary US hit-making studio, Sun Record Company. In keeping with the theme, morning showtime on Tuesday, May 3 is a riotous romp through The History of Rock n’ Roll, featuring All Shook Up and ringmaster extraordinaire, Colin Mockett. An exclusive for the Potato Shed and Surround Sounds is the World Premiere of Late, Late at Night on Saturday, May 7. A stage adaptation of Rick Springfield’s New York Times best-selling memoir, Late at Night will give you a ring-side seat to the spectacular highs and devastating lows of a life dedicated to rock and roll.

Reliving history at town hall Australia’s favourite nostalgic music event, OK Motels, is set to arrive in Geelong with West Town Music Club for two debutante performances at the Geelong West Town Hall. A Geelong icon, Geelong West Town Hall has a big music history with some pretty impressive acts. In the 1980s, it played host to The Fall and Wire, and in 1990 legends Faith No More graced the stage for their epic The Real Thing tour with the Cosmic Psychos as support. On Friday, April 22, the Cosmic Psychos will crank up the memory-filled music space once again to headline West Town Music Club alongside The Living Eyes, Dr Sure’s Unusual Practice and Operation Karma.

Acoustic festival in Ocean Grove The Pavilion at Ocean Grove Park will host Australia’s first free acoustic festival as part of Surround Sounds. From 4pm on Saturday, April 9, the Pavilion’s superb concert stage will bring remarkable acoustic talent from across the region including Famous Will, Isabella Khalife, Peter Paul and Marion, Finnigan August, The Fillmores and Von Robertsons. Artistic director Jon Mamonski said he was excited to present some of the region’s best talent. “Our region has some of the finest artists in the nation and we’ve been waiting a long time to see them perform,” he said. “The Pavilion in Ocean Grove Park is a first-class concert stage and a perfect setting for this free concert.” Among the acts performing will be Famous Will. A local artist who is now a national favourite, Will Gardiner quit his job and sold everything to record his debut album and tour the country. Picked up by Triple J and showcased around the nation, Famous Will and his band have a strong following. He will be joined by Surf Coast 15-year-old Finnigan August, Isabella Khalife and renowned Ocean Grove folk quartet Peter Paul and Marion. Attendees have been advised to bring a rug and picnic and get there early for a good spot. Details: oceangroveacousticfestival. com.au

A few weeks later on Friday, May 6, the venue will host pub rockers Cash Savage and the Last Drinks, Floodlights, The Skips and The White Flower Society. City of Greater Geelong deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said Ok Motel’s West Town Music Club would form part of the city’s month-long celebration of live music, Surround Sounds Geelong and the Bellarine. “The inaugural Surround Sounds is set to enhance our region’s contemporary music scene and cultural heritage, and the West Town Music Club will undoubtedly add a unique flavour to the festival,” he said. “Greater Geelong has an extremely long and very proud history of producing talented musicians and has a strong reputation as being a live music hub. “I encourage everyone to get out and support this event, and the many others that will be held throughout Surround Sounds.” Surround Sounds takes places across various venues and locations in the City of Greater Geelong and the Bellarine between April 7 and May 8.

Cats captain set to break record By Ash Bolt Joel Selwood will take his place as the longest-serving AFL captain when he runs onto the MCG on Saturday night. The game will be Selwood’s 227th in charge of the Cats and move him ahead of the current record holder Stephen Kernahan. Now in his 11th year in the role, Selwood said he still enjoyed the challenge of leadership. “I appreciate the game for what it is,” he said. “You can put all the pressure in the world on someone’s shoulders but when you get to throw that jumper on just before a game … there’s no better feeling than that. “I was talking to Nick Riewoldt and Jonathan Brown the other night and Nick was speaking about the pressures that he though came with [captaincy] and the anxiety. “I don’t necessarily get that, but I get the love of what you’ve worked through throughout the

‘‘

He’s widely admired … he’s been an inspiring leader for a long time

’’

- Chris Scott week to get ready for that moment. “I wouldn’t be doing it if I lost that love.” Selwood said he hadn’t thought a lot about the record, but rather it was a moment to reflect on the support he had received along the way. “You don’t set out to do it (break the record), and as a young captain, I probably didn’t understand the position I was holding at the time,” he said. “You look back on it … and you just understand that you’re supported so well along the way to allow that to happen early days.” He said he particularly leaned on the support of former captains Tom Harley and Cameron

Ling, as well as coach Chris Scott during his early years in the role. Scott said Selwood’s impact on the club would be felt for a long time. “Joel’s talked about how he was supported but as a coach, you couldn’t hope for a better on-field lead by example captain and then an off-field, help build the culture, support the environment that we’re trying to create type of person than Joel,” he said. “He’s widely admired … he’s been an inspiring leader for a long time.” The Cats will be looking to bounce back for the milestone game after a disappointing loss against Sydney last week. Scott said the Cats would welcome back Shaun Higgins for the match, after he was rested for round two. “He’s fine so he’ll play,” he said. “We feel like we’ve got a deep squad that we’re going to use and that means that some of

our players will be rotated out when they’re in rude health. “That was the situation with Shaun last week and it’ll be the situation with others in the future.” He said it was also likely Sam De Koning would return to the team after missing last week due to the AFL’s concussion protocols. Scott also revealed important midfielder Sam Menegola would make his return from knee surgery last October through the VFL this week. “The initial prognosis that I was provided in November after the surgery was that he wouldn’t play until potentially late May and … it’s not even April and he’s playing,” Scott said. “It’s one of those things that you need to have a bit of luck with it, which I think he’s had, but the preparation has got to be there to meet that opportunity and he’s done that really well.”

Superboat challenge creates waves on Corio Bay Corio Bay was a hive of activity over the weekend with Geelong playing host to the second round of the Australian Offshore Superboat Championships. Powerboats and competitors from across the country took over Steampacket Gardens from Friday, March 25 to Sunday, March 27, with five races across three categories held on the bay. Competitors were met with calm conditions on the bay, with the Sports 65 class the first to take to the water on Saturday afternoon. Geelong team, Risky, was one of the strongest 44 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 1 April, 2022

teams over the weekend, finishing second in both its races, behind winner Gigglin. Team Risky driver Mark Swain said it was a positive weekend for the local team, which also included navigator Josh Bssong. “It was good, it was a little bit flatter conditions than we would have liked, especially with this design of boat,” he said. “Saturday was a good result for us, we were leading for most of the race and got a second, and [Sunday] we were outright second. “There’s a little to improve on in cornering

speeds, but we’re learning every day and having a blast.” In the Sport 85 class, The Colonel looked to be on course for three straight victories in Geelong after it crossed the finish line in first place in Sunday morning’s second race, but a mechanical issue forced it out of the final race of the day after just two laps. With The Colonel classified as third in the last race, it meant overall victory went to Mark Percherzewski and Amy Preston in Special Edition, after collecting two seconds and a win

in the final race. Mechanical issues also had a big impact in the results of the Supercat Outboard class. Team Saracen was deprived of a clean sweep of the weekend’s three races, when a fuel injector failed seven minutes into the 20-minute race. The failure allowed Team AMT to sail ahead and claim the win, after finishing second in both previous races. Despite the challenge Team Saracen took the overall win for the weekend.

Century sets up premiership win By Ash Bolt A stunning unbeaten century from Sam Hall has seen North Geelong claim its third-straight GCA1 firsts premiership in dominating fashion. The Magpie opener made light work of East Belmont’s bowling attack in the grand final at Reynolds Oval on Saturday, March 26, finishing with an unbeaten 104 from just 59 balls. The knock, which included nine sixes and nine fours, led the Magpies to a 10-wicket win in just 18 overs, with opening partner Casey Meehan adding 49 runs at the other end. It was Hall’s second ton in as many games, after a blistering 154 from 153 balls one week earlier in the semi-final against South Barwon. East Belmont won the toss in Saturday’s final and chose to bat first, but lost Shane McNamara early for six runs. Captain Sean O’Neill and Hayden McMahon combined well to settle the inning, combining for a 51-run partnership before McMahon fell

for 29. From there East Belmont struggled to build a score, with O’Neill the only batsman able to make it past 18, finishing with a 59, including three fours and two sixes. By the end of its 50-over inning, East Belmont had set a score of 8-162. North Geelong captain Tom Mathieson led the way with the ball, finishing with figures of

3-32 from 10 overs, while Tom Bagg collected 2-24 from his 10 overs. The Lions’ score proved to not be enough as Meehan and Hall attacked from the first ball and chased down the target in just 75 minutes. While the main prize slipped away, the Lions were able to claim two other premiership victories over North Geelong in the GCA1 seconds and fourths. In the GCA2 firsts, St Peters was equally dominant in its 10-wicket victory over Leopold. Taking on Leopold at its home ground, the visitors lost the toss and were sent into bowl but made the most of the opportunity. Sam Bourke and Stephen Illingworth used the new ball to perfection and had Leopold on the back foot at 3-10. Wickets continued to tumble for Leopold, with captain Corey Ogle playing a lone hand and hitting 41 as the Lions were bowled out 94 in the 40th over. Luke Ford starred with ball with 4-18 from eight overs, while Illingworth finished with 3-13 from 7.2 overs.

In reply, Hayden Illingworth (39 not out) and Brodie Craig (48 not out) needed just 127 balls to chase down the target. It capped off a big day for St Peters, who also won the seconds final over Geelong City and lost to City in the thirds. In the GCA3 firsts, St Albans Breakwater got revenge for last year’s grand final loss to Corio with a five-wicket win over the Devils on Saturday. Corio won the toss and chose to bat but found the going tough as the Supersaints’ bowlers kept the run rate low. Corio was eventually bowled out for 124 in the 48th over, with just four batsmen making it into double figures and bowler Trey Laurie Laurie top scoring with 29. Jake Spalding was the pick of St Albans Breakwater’s bowlers, finishing with 4-18. In reply Supersaints opener Jake Watson-Serle hit a half-century to lead the team to 5-125 from 31.3 overs, although it wasn’t smooth sailing, with two of the top three dismissed in single figures.

Grubbers celebrate two in a row Ocean Grove made it two BWCC A Grade premierships in a row, defeating East Belmont for the second consecutive season. Ocean Grove finished two points higher than East Belmont on the ladder and won a thrilling decider that went down to the final ball of the 40th over at Herne Hill Reserve on Sunday, March 27. Ocean Grove batted first in warm conditions with Tes Lapham continuing her fine semi-final form with 25 retired from 40 deliveries. Katrina Lumb was subdued for her 11 from 37, but the pair provided a platform for the middle order to shine. Mandy Adams strode to the crease with intent and went about compiling a punishing 50 retired from just 36 balls. Adams hit nine boundaries during her superb knock.

The Grubbers finished with 3-111 from their 20 overs and needed someone to step up with the ball. That someone was Lumb, who delivered a brilliant spell to have East Belmont on the back foot at 2-11. Rebecca Farey (34 off 40) and Mikaela Monahan (39 from 44) went about getting East Belmont back into the contest with a 50-run stand before Andrea Frankpitt removed captain Farey and Lumb found a way through Monahan’s defence. East Belmont needed a six off the final ball of the match, but couldn’t score and Ocean Grove ran out deserved winners. Lumb was magnificent with 3-9 from four overs while Danielle Vigilante was miserly, conceding 15 runs from her four overs and

Frankpitt played her role with 1-10 from three. In the BWCC B Grade decider, South Barwon proved too strong for Lethbridge, claiming the premiership with a 33-run win. After winning the toss and choosing to bat, South Barwon got off to a perfect start with Bree Gorman retiring with a half century before the first wicket had fallen. Fellow opener Emma Kleindienst added 23 runs of her own as the Swans charged to 4-127 from their 20 overs. For Lethbridge, Stephanie Taylor (41 from 40) and Rachael Wood (22 from 35) fought valiantly with the bat but cheap wickets falling around them saw the team bowled out for 94 in the 18th over.

Three-time surfing world champion Mick Fanning will take to the waves at the Surf Coast next week after being awarded a wildcard for the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach. On Tuesday, competition organisers announced Fanning would come out of retirement to compete in the iconic Torquay surf competition from April 10 to 20. “Bells is the wildcard I really wanted. I did Narrabeen last year but Bells is the one I was really aiming for,” Fanning said. “It’s a place that is really close to my heart, and if I was ever going to take a wildcard, it would be there, so I’m pretty fired up. “Personally, I really like the wave at Bells. The speed of it, the wide open canvas, and the fact that it is a right hand point break. I love everything that comes with Bells, the history, the cliffs, the gathering of everyone down in the car park. It’s so awesome. It’s something that sits in my heart.” Fanning officially retired from professional surfing in 2018 after 17 years competing on the world circuit. Over his career he had 22 championship tour victories, 11 top five finishes, and three world titles, cementing him as one of the greatest surfers in history. “To go and ring the Bell for the fifth time, no one has ever done it apart from Gail Couper,” Fanning said. “During my career I got close, but right now I just want to focus on putting on a good performance. My preparation when I was on tour was non-stop training but this time around I’ve just been focusing on my surfing and making sure it’s up to the level of the best in the world.” The Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach is the longest-running surfing event in the world, dating back to 1973. It has been a proving ground for the greats, with 11-time world champion Kelly Slater, seven-time WSL champion Stephanie Gilmore, Fanning and surfing legends Lisa Andersen and Mark Richards having all won the event four times each.

The top teams dominate LOCAL TENNIS

Donna Schoenmaekers Semi-finals week in Tennis Geelong’s Saturday senior competition saw most results go the way of the higher placed teams, and a number a matches going down to the wire. Section 1 Men saw Waurn Ponds and Grovedale take their third wins over Highton and Geelong Lawn Green, while in Section 1 Mixed undefeated Grovedale Gold will get the week off next week after defeating Grovedale Yellow. Yellow will face Grovedale Black after it pulled off a one-game win over Geelong Lawn. Section 5 Mixed had the closest results for the day with both matches tied at three sets all. St Marys took on Wandana Heights in the first semi, and with a 2-0 record would have been confident going into the match. The match started close with Geogia Cowdrey and Tom Crosbie taking the first set for St Mary’s 7-5, while Wandana levelled with Tessa Miller and Louie Dodds winning 6-4. Cowdrey teamed with Janelle Grass in the ladies to take a commanding 6-0 win, while

Wandana’s Sam Ward and Louie Dodds kept their team in the mix with a 6-2 win. With a two game advantage going into the final sets the pressure was on both teams to do well. Wandana gave itself a great chance to cause an upset when Tessa Miller and Sam Ward took the fifth set 6-3, but Georgia Cowdrey got her third set for the day with Bob Keating, 6-4, giving St Mary’s the win by one game. The second semi was almost as close, with Moolap getting up over Ceres by two games. The match was tied after the first two sets, and Ceres ahead by only a game after the ladies’ and men’s doubles. Trudy McCann and Murray McConachy put Ceres ahead taking the fifth 6-4, but Hazel Ashton and Rob Allsopp took the final set and the match for Moolap with a 6-1 win. Section 3 Mixed also had both matches decided on games. The second semi saw Ocean Grove take on Portarlington in a seesawing match. The sets alternated through the day, and with three sets decided 7-6, 7-6, 7-5, both teams had their chances, but in the end Ocean

Grove finished ahead by one game. In the first semi, second placed Wandana Heights White bested minor premiers Clifton Springs by five games. While this looked like an upset, White had been the Springs’ Achilles heel this season, having beaten them in both meetings during the season – their only losses for the season. Wandana started like a team possessed with Tania de Koning-Ward in great form taking the first mixed with Rohan Perrott 6-1. The second mixed was a titanic struggle, but Robyn and Phil O’Donoghue won through in a tie-break, then Robyn teamed up with Sharon Lee to take the ladies 6-1. From there the tide began to turn. Mark Hagebols and Hudson Choong came from behind to take the men’s in a tie-break, then continuing their good form in the reverse mixed which the Springs won 6-4 and 6-3. The three wins to the Springs put the match at three sets all, but the game difference was too great earning Wandana the week off, awaiting the winner of Clifton Springs and Ocean Grove, who they will face in the grand final.

Close results in junior tennis finals LOCAL TENNIS

Donna Schoenmaekers It was the semi-finals for 17 of Tennis Geelong’s 25 junior sections last week, and in near perfect conditions 13 matches were decided by games advantage, and in four sections both matches went this way. Section 2 Girls saw second placed Ocean Grove White get over minor premier Drysdale by four games, and fourth placed Surfcoast Torquay bested club rival Surfcoast Jan Juc by two games. White was helped by Drysdale being a player short, but Torquay and Jan Juc fought down to the wire. The match started with the doubles, with the first going to Torquay’s Ruby Markovic and Sienna Clatworthy 6-4 while Jan Juc’s Immy Richards and Juliet Muscroft took a tie-breaker 6-5. The first two singles matches were split with Sachi Bridgeford for Jan Juc and Mackenzie Walters for Torquay both winning 6-2, leaving Torquay one game ahead going into the final two singles. Again, the sets hard fought and again split with Immy Richards taking her set for Jan Juc 6-2 but Sienna Clatworthy sealed the win for Torquay, winning 6-1. Section 1 Boys also had both matches tied at three sets all, with second placed Barwon Heads getting up by one game over Geelong Lawn Black, while Geelong Lawn White ended club rival Geelong Lawn Green’s finals campaign with a seven game win. Black started well in the first semi with Rhys McNabb, Illija Sasic and Sibimanyu Jothikumar winning their singles 6-4, 6-4 and 6-3, while Finn McNeilly had a tough fought win for the Heads’ only set 7-6. With a three sets to one lead with six games in hand, Black was in the box seat going into the doubles, but Curtis Fitzgerald and Finn McNeilly got up 7-5, while Jack Remilton and Lily Duff sealed the victory for the Heads with a convincing 6-1 win. Section 9 Boys saw the home teams take the win in both matches. The combined Drysdale/ Clifton Springs team split the sets right through with Geelong Lawn, but the minor premier managed to stay ahead on games through the match. Highton and Wandana Heights also kept their match close with the teams alternating sets. Wandana started with a four game advantage 46 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 1 April, 2022

Fish biting around the region ON THE BITE

Peri Stavropoulos The local fishing is still going pretty good at the moment with plenty of reports still rolling through from all around the region. Inside Corio Bay has continued to fish well for pinkie snapper with Stingaree Bay holding good numbers of fish. Anglers bait fishing have been having great success in landing fish to 40cm with pilchard fillets proving irresistible. Point Henry has been fishing well for anglers casting soft plastics picking up good numbers of flathead and pinkie snapper. Andrew Orchard had a great day out there landing numerous fish with natural coloured plastics working best. The outer harbour is still fishing very well for King George whiting with plenty of reports rolling through. Clifton Springs through to Portarlington still seems to be the current hot spot and where the majority of the reports are coming from. Fishing the outgoing tide continues to be the best time to have your baits in the water with bag limit captures on offer and fish up to 42cm. Calamari still remain in close with natural jigs working best. The Rip has been a bit hot and cold lately with the kingfish bite but when it’s on, it’s been crazy. There have been reports of fish well over 12kg along with plenty of rats thrown into the mix also. Dropping jigs (200-300g) down has been working very well and so too has live baiting with calamari and yakkas. Offshore Barwon Heads has slowed a little more with the tuna bite out there but anglers are still heading out and finding success. The fish are being seen cruising on the surface quite often and when spotted casting poppers into the schools has yet again proved to be a lethal tactic. Down along the coast there has been some fantastic shark fishing on offer with mako sharks in fantastic numbers from Port Phillip Heads right through to Portland, with a variety of size from 20kg-150kg. Peri from Trellys Geelong alongside Owen Westwell went out in search for one over the weekend, landing a mako around 60kg in weight as well as gummy shark, school shark and a variety of other reef species. Port Fairy has been fishing very well for bluefin tuna in close to shore with the 40m line holding plenty of fish to about 15kg. Casting small stick baits into the surface commotion has been working very well and so too has trolling skirts with the aid of a spreader bar.

after the first two sets, but Highton clawed its way back and eventually finished with a two game lead. The closest section of the season was Section 14, and their finals results continued in the same vein. Bannockburn and All Saints alternated sets but the minor premiers managed to eke out a three game win.

Geelong Lawn and Waurn Ponds battled it out in the second semi in a seesawing match. Lawn took the first two sets 6-3, 6-4, but the Ponds countered taking the final two singles 6-5, 6-4. The doubles went one set each way, but with a 6-1 win and 6-4 loss, Lawn finished with a five game lead, and a match up with All Saints this week.
