West Park in Pakington Street is set to get colourful this weekend, with the return of the Geelong’s Rainbow Festival. The festival, which aims to foster connection between the LGBTQIA+ and wider community, will return from Saturday, April 9 to Sunday, April 10. Saturday will see the Geelong Rainbow Pride March from Johnstone Park to West Park in the morning, followed by a fair including food vendors and stalls, children’s activities and live entertainment. On Sunday, the fair will continue with Geelong Rainbow Picnic in the Park and the pet parade and petting zoo. Geelong Rainbow vice-president Carol Corbey said she wanted to see everyone come together and have fun. “We were shut down the day before last year because of a lockdown, but we’re terribly excited to be back,” she said. “It’s a family friendly festival with something for everyone to enjoy.”

Mental health concerns By Ash Bolt Mental health is the biggest social justice issue affecting the region, according to a survey completed by the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army this week released its Social Justice Stocktake, where more than 15,000 people across the country were surveyed on what social justice issues concerned them and their community. For respondents in the Corio and Corangamite electorates, the clear leading issue was mental health. Almost two-thirds (62.1 per cent) of Corio electorate residents nominated mental health as a concern, higher than the national average of 53.9 per cent and the Victorian average of 56.7 per cent.

Drug and alcohol misuse (56.3 per cent) was the second biggest concern for the Corio electorate, followed by housing affordability (49.5 per cent). Barwon Health mental health, drugs and alcohol clinical services director Associate Professor Steve Moylan said since the pandemic health services had seen greater demand for mental health support. “Health services across the region, including Barwon Health, have experienced growing demand for appointments and care related to mental health, drugs and alcohol in recent years,” he said. “Barwon Health welcomes any investment in the mental health sector, particularly with Geelong-based commitments including the implementation of mental health ‘Hospital

in the Home’ services. Barwon Health has commenced this new innovative service offering up to nine HITH beds at any one time. He said Barwon Health would also be opening a 16-bed mental health and wellbeing centre at the McKellar Centre and a new central hub for community-based mental health and alcohol and drug services in the Geelong CBD. “Locating the hub in a prominent location on Moorabool Street is an important step forward in destigmatising mental health, by normalising the services provided to our community,” he said. Professor Moylan said there was still “much system reform work to do … to help drive positive changes for people with mental ill-health”.

“Health care is a human right and caring for people with mental illness is critical in maximising people’s participation in society,” he said. “Poor mental health can lead to poorer participation in work, education, poorer relationships with family and community, and is associated with worsened physical health outcomes, including chronic disease and early mortality. “For this reason, mental health care is an issue of social justice, and it is not surprising to see it so prominently recognised by the Salvation Army’s Social Justice Stocktake.” The survey was completed and released ahead of the federal election to provide a guide of what issues the community deemed most important.

Police launch new gun campaign By Ash Bolt Crime Stoppers Victoria and Victoria Police have launched a new campaign in Geelong to get illegal guns off the streets. Crime Statistics Agency data has shown illegal firearms incidents have increased by nearly five per cent across the state since 2020. Geelong Crime Investigation Unit detective senior sergeant Mark Guthrie said police in the region made it a “priority” to get illegal guns off the street. “I’ve got detectives that within minutes of

getting some information, they’ll act on it. We know that firearms are a real issue … and so I ask anyone that’s got any information about illicit firearms [to come forward]. You may think that it’s only very small, but that might be the part of the jigsaw puzzle we need to put it all together and get some firearms off our streets.” Police have also called for anyone with unregistered firearms to hand them in under the National Firearms Amnesty, which launched last year. The campaign’s launch came as police revealed they had seized nine firearms and

charged five men following an aggravated burglary in Grovedale last month. Investigators were told two men allegedly armed with a firearm and a knife entered the garage of a property near Torquay Road about 12.10pm on Monday, March 21, and confronted the 62-year-old male occupant. The men allegedly stole 11 firearms from a gun safe, as well as ammunition, cash, identity documents and the victim’s car. The victim was not injured. Police, with the assistance of the Special Operations Group, arrested two men in Oak

Park the following day. A 35-year-old Kurunjang man and 23-year-old Melton man were charged a range of offences including home invasion, false imprisonment, assault, theft and drug offences. A 35-year-old Hillside man was then arrested the following day and charged with possessing firearms and drug offences. He was bailed, but was re-arrested two days. Six of the firearms recovered were stolen during the Grovedale burglary, while the other three seized appeared to be unrelated to the incident.

Walking for dementia More than 500 people from the Geelong community put on their running shoes and braved the wet weather to show their support at Dementia Australia’s Memory Walk and Run. The fundraiser was held at Barwon Valley Park on Sunday, April 2, with more than $85,000 raised. Dementia Australia chief executive Maree McCabe said it was a fantastic day and thanked all who participated, raised funds, spread the word, or donated. “We are delighted to have enjoyed such an outstanding show of support from the Geelong community, who turned out in such large numbers,” Ms McCabe said. “So many people impacted by dementia find these events a great way to connect with other local people in similar circumstances. And from what we witnessed at the Geelong event, that was certainly the case. “Our many volunteers worked tirelessly to ensure it ran safely and smoothly, and was

enjoyable for all. “The success of this event simply would not have been possible without their support.” The money raised will help provide invaluable support, education and resources for people impacted by dementia in the Geelong area and across Australia. Currently there are an estimated 124,700 people living with dementia in Victoria but that figure is projected to increase to about 301,000 by 2058. The Geelong event was one of 19 Memory Walk and Runs scheduled at various locations around the country in 2022. Ms McCabe said Dementia Australia was encouraging Geelong locals who were unable to participate over the weekend to consider organising their own group or individual walk or jog, with a My Way or Walk and Jog Impossible Challenge.

It’s been close to three years since the world’s best surfers descended on Bells and excitement levels are high for the return of the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach. The event action kicks off on Sunday, April 10 and runs until April 20. Surf Coast Shire Council will hold a Traditional Welcome to Country event at 9.30am on Friday, April 8. The event will be followed by the presentation of Council’s Gail Couper and Wayne Lynch Rising Star Awards, which celebrate young, local up-and-coming surfers.

The Rip Curl Pro coincides with a special exhibition at the Australian National Surfing Museum called ‘Simon’s Bells’. Featuring champion surfer Simon Anderson, the exhibition tells the story of a remarkable day in surfing, big waves at Bells Beach and a borrowed board that would change the surfing world forever.

Six charged following drug raids By Ash Bolt Six people have been charged after police seized around half a million dollars worth of drugs, $390,000 worth of luxury vehicles, and almost $200,000 cash during an investigation into alleged drug trafficking across south-west Victoria. Detectives executed a series of sweeping raids across Geelong, Melbourne’s western suburbs and Warrnambool on Wednesday morning, following a four-month investigation into the trafficking of large quantities of methylamphetamine.

Four of the people arrested yesterday, including a 32-year-old Highton man, were charged with trafficking a commercial quantity of methylamphetamine, which comes with a maximum penalty of 25 years imprisonment. The Highton man was remanded to face Geelong Magistrates Court on Thursday. The other three men charged with trafficking were a 30-year-old Point Cook man, a 34-year-old Point Cook man and a 31-year-old Warrnambool man. A 26-year-old Werribee man and a 27-year-old Werribee man were charged with possessing a drug of dependence.

Ten search warrants were executed on Wednesday, March 30 in Grovedale, Highton, Point Cook, Werribee, and Warrnambool. Police seized 700 grams of methylamphetamine with an estimated street value of around $420,000, 38 grams of cocaine with an estimated value of $16,000 and small quantities of GHB, MDMA pills, anabolic steroids, cannabis, and testosterone. Police also seized weapons including a handgun, pistol, two silencers, shotgun, and extendable baton, around $196,530 in cash and nine vehicles believed to be the proceeds of crime.

The vehicles included three luxury vehicles – a 2020 BMW M4, a 2014 Chrysler 300c, and a 2016 Mercedes C63 AMG Sedan – estimated to be worth $390,000. Western Region Crime Squad detective senior sergeant Matthew Kershaw said the arrests would have a significant impact on drug trafficking in the region. “This week’s arrests have caused a huge dent in the supply of methylamphetamine across south western Victoria, with almost half a million dollars’ worth of the drug removed from the streets,” he said.

Clubrooms upgraded better facilities for the Inverleigh Football Netball Club and increased opportunities for community activation for all user groups in Inverleigh, including for events such as the Dachshund Derby,” he said. “The upgraded club rooms complement a list of projects that have been delivered at Inverleigh Sporting Complex over the past few years including the new netball courts opened last year, the oval lighting, and the almost-completed female friendly change rooms. “Congratulations to the club and community, in this growing town, for the hard work behind this achievement and the establishment of an under-12 girls team. It was a great crowd at the first home game of the Inverleigh Hawks.” The club is also waiting for the completion of its new female-friendly change rooms and upgrades to existing change rooms.

Striding out for leukodystrophy By Ash Bolt John Olsen is planning to walk 10 million steps to raise much-needed funds for leukodystrophy support. Mr Olsen believes 10 million steps is roughly how many it will take him to walk the 5000 kilometres from Cape Leveque in northern Western Australia to Cape Howe on the Victorian-New South Wales border. When he sets off with his cart, Wilson, on Sunday, April 17 it will be the fourth time the 70-year-old has walked across the country unaided.

‘‘

That was going to be my last one because it nearly killed me - John Olsen

’’

“It should take me somewhere between five and a half to six months, depending on whether everything goes well,” Mr Olsen said. “If you average my mileage out it should be around 36 kilometres per day. I’ll probably start off at 12 kilometres per day and within a couple of days go up to 15 and build it up slowly. “I normally get up to between 40 and 45 kilometres each day for most of the walk.” Having already raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for leukodystrophy during his previous walks, he has set himself a goal to raise $100,000 for his final walk. Leukodystrophy is a collection of rare progressive genetic diseases that affect the brain, spinal cord and often the peripheral nerves. The disease is close to Mr Olsen’s heart after his partner Vida lived with the disease until she died in 2014.

“It’s a disease that affects male children mainly,” he said. “It’s fatal. They don’t normally live longer

than 15 years of age, 18 if they’re lucky. “The defective genes are carried by the mothers and my partner was unlucky enough

that she actually became symptomatic with the illness herself. “That’s where I got involved and became part of the leukodystrophy family, I guess. “It’s not a well-known disease, there’s only about 400 cases in Australia.” Mr Olsen said he thought his last walk, done in 2016, would be his last. “The last one I did was in her memory and that was going to be my last one because it nearly killed me,” he said. “I had a bad knee and I had trouble with a hiatus hernia … [which meant] I couldn’t eat or drink for two or three days at a time. “But that’s all been fixed up now, I’ve had a half knee replacement and I just turned 70, and I knew I had to do it. “The consequences of not doing it and then sitting in a nursing home wishing I had were worse. I’d be a grumpy old man for the rest of my life.” While he will be on the walk by himself, Mr Olsen has been receiving support with planning from the Lions Club of Geelong Corio Bay and local businesses supplying the gear, including shoes and a sleeping bag. “I’ve been planning the walk for the last two or three years in my head, but it’s only in the last couple of months it has come together,” he said. “I’ve been preparing Wilson because he’s been sitting in the backyard for the last six years under a tarp and he needed a bit of work. “But it’s all come together and having already done it three times now, I’m feeling pretty good about it. “On my second walk I was walking through the desert and sand and that was physically tough, so it makes this one look easy even though I’m a little bit older. “I’m looking forward to it.” Details: leuko.org.au/thelongwalk

South Korea tie sealed By Ash Bolt The City of Greater Geelong has formalised ties with South Korea’s Changwon City, following the announcement Hanwha Defense Australia would construct a facility to build military vehicles within the municipality. Greater Geelong deputy mayor Trent Sullivan and Changwon City mayor Huh Sungmoo signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) connecting the cities at a ceremony at City Hall on Thursday. The memorandum formalises an agreement to collaborate with Changwon City on trade, education and cultural exchanges, to promote investment and employment opportunities for the two cities. Located on South Korea’s southeast coast, Changwon City is a known industrial and manufacturing hub that is home to global manufacturers including Hanwha Corporation and its subsidiary Hanwha Defense Australia. Hanwha Defense Australia earlier this year announced it would build a facility near Avalon Airport to provide the Commonwealth government with military vehicles under a $1 billion deal. City of Greater Geelong chief executive Martin Cutter joined Cr Sullivan in welcoming a delegation from Changwon City to Geelong for the signing and exchange of gifts. Hanwha Defense Corporation chief executive Jaeil Sohn, Hanwha Defense Australia managing director Richard Cho and Deakin University sectorial partnerships, government and industry research director Genevieve Reid also attended the ceremony. The Greater Geelong Council agreed to proceed with a MOU in December last year after a request from Changwon City. Cr Sullivan said the memorandum would provide benefits to the region.

“The City of Greater Geelong greatly respects Changwon City and is honoured to enter into this agreement,” he said. “The Geelong region is very hopeful that this memorandum of understanding will bring great benefit for both regions and we believe there will be much to learn from each other. “We see this is an opportunity to build a great relationship with a city that holds many similarities to ours, and that has equally high aspirations of competing on the global stage. “This MOU aligns with the Geelong community’s 30-year vision to be

internationally recognised as a ‘clever and creative’ city with a prosperous economy, that supports jobs and education opportunities.” The memorandum will be reviewed each year to assess the benefits for both cities. The commonwealth has also shortlisted Hanwha Defense Australia as one of two companies for a $27 billion, 10-year contract to supply tanks to the Australian Defence Force. An announcement on the tender is expected this year and Hanwha has announced its preferred location was Geelong, which would create up to 350 jobs if it was successful.

Veteran study now under way Geelong veterans have been encouraged to make their voices heard and make sure the state government’s veteran support services are meeting their needs. Veterans Minister Shaun Leane has asked the Victorian Veterans Council to commission the third Veterans Sector Study, an assessment of the needs and priorities of veterans and their families, as well as the ex-service and community organisations that support them. The research will focus on a range of issues, including housing, mental health, employment, education and the impact of the pandemic on the veteran sector. Geelong veterans, their families and ex-service community organisations will be able to contribute to the study in-person or online. Focus groups will be held for the veteran community in Geelong from 10am-noon on Wednesday, April 13 and from 1-3pm for ex-service organisations. Feedback can also be provided via an online survey until Sunday, May 8. Victorian Veterans Council chair Commodore Greg Yorke said the study’s findings will inform future government support. “We believe Victoria’s veteran community should play a critical role in determining government policy and programs aimed at supporting them,.” Visit: victorianveteranscouncil.org. au/veterans-sector-study.

A number of homes and rental properties within Geelong have already taken advantage of the rebates, saving on average up to $1073 per year. It also helps us play our part in the clean energy future, by reducing harmful carbon emissions. The solar industry is also beneﬁtting, with the program supporting the creation of 5,500 jobs. Now is the time to embrace solar. The Andrews Government encourages everyone to investigate the potential savings solar can deliver to them.

All eligible Victorians can apply for the rebates, with Solar Victoria’s approved product list and authorised solar retailers making it easy to participate in the program.

There’s no better time to join the solar revolution through the Victorian Government’s $1.6 billion Solar Homes Program.

What’s your connection to the region? I was born and bred in Geelong and aside from some travelling I was fortunate to do in my 20s. I have lived in the region my whole life. I grew up in Bell Post Hill but have lived on the Bellarine Peninsula for almost 30 years, calling Ocean Grove home for the last 17 of those. What do you like about where you live? There is so much to love about where I live, but I’d have to say the ocean is the main thing. And all that comes from living near it; the fresh air, the beautiful skies, the sounds of the waves, the changes in seasons, and having beautiful towns and destinations in every direction from my home. What, if anything, would you change about where you live? It’s not very multicultural, so that would be one thing. Public transport could do with a fair bit of improvement too. That seems to be an ongoing issue that just never gets resolved. And although I know development is necessary, I really hope development on the Bellarine is capped very soon. Infrastructure hasn’t kept up with the pace of development and although Ocean Grove is still a beautiful coastal town, its identity has changed a great deal. At the moment I think we’re hanging onto our coastal town feel despite all the development, but I’m not sure how long that will last if the pace doesn’t stop.

Where is your favourite local place to spend time? Anywhere along the coastline, and usually walking. I regularly walk the tracks or beaches along Ocean Grove or between here and Barwon Heads, sometimes I head down to Lonnie (Point Lonsdale) or Clifton Springs if I’m catching up with friends. But I never tire of walking our beaches and feel so thankful to have them within such close reach. It was a bit of a lifesaver during COVID actually. Ocean Grove beach was within my 5km radius and I think I only missed a handful of days walking during all of the lockdowns. It helped my headspace a great deal. Tell us something people would be surprised to know about you. I lived in a village in Malawi, Africa for six months. My husband David and I first went to Malawi in 1998 at the end of an around the world trip and fell in love with the people and the place. Malawi wasn’t very well known back then, and it consistently ranks as one of the poorest countries in the world, but it is accurately known as ‘The Warm Heart of Africa’. We came home at the end of that first trip, worked our butts off for 10 months just to save up and go back again for a longer period of time and we lived in a tent in a rural village on Lake Malawi the whole time we were there. No electricity, no running water, no phones (definitely no mobile phones). It was life at its simplest and it was one of the happiest times of our lives.

New road is a load of rubbish By Ash Bolt Plastic bags and tyres that were destined for landfill are among the materials that have been recycled to reconstruct a road in Geelong’s south. The City of Greater Geelong is trialling the use of recycled fine crushed rock (FCR), polyrock aggregate kerb mix and crumbed rubber asphalt in the rebuild of Maple Place in Waurn Ponds. Existing materials from the road – including 40 tonnes of asphalt, 163 cubic metres of FCR and 277 metres of concrete kerb – were recycled locally. The material was crushed and sorted, ready for reuse in road projects in Greater Geelong.

A total of 366 tonnes of recycled FCR was used in the road sub-grade and sub-base layer, while kerb and channel works were undertaken using polyrock aggregate. Polyrock is a sustainable recycled plastic aggregate alternative that is made up of 95 per cent post-consumer plastic waste. The Maple Place project is part of the city’s Recycled Roads program, which incorporates a variety of materials collected via kerbside recycling. Through various trials, roads have been built using crushed glass as a replacement for sand, and PlastiPhalt, which incorporates plastics destined for landfill. Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said these

projects were finding a new use for tonnes of glass and plastics. “The roads program is a great example of our innovative work in keeping materials from landfill and reducing our carbon footprint,” he said. “Through a highly efficient construction process, the Maple Road works are also cutting carbon emissions by up to 30 per cent. “These trials allow us to assess the benefits of new sustainable products and methods, ahead of their adoption into regular practice.” The waste-reducing road projects were recently honoured with a 2021 Keep Victoria Beautiful Sustainable Cities Award. The city claimed a total of four awards, including the overall Keep Victoria Beautiful

Sustainable City Award. Circular economy portfolio chair Belinda Moloney said the projects were a key component of the city’s commitment to reduce emissions. “We are committed to creating sustainable practices across the organisation that help us meet our goal of being a zero-emission, climate ready city,” Cr Moloney said. “The energy-saving and waste-reducing road projects will help deliver the best outcomes for people, the environment and the economy.” The council’s Climate Change Response Plan sets a target for all city-managed operations to reach net zero emissions by 2025, and for the municipality to reach net zero community emissions by 2035.

Skate park open in Bannockburn The newly-upgraded Bannockburn Skate Park has been officially opened by Geelong MP Christine Couzens and Golden Plains Shire Council mayor Gavin Gamble. The pair joined keen skateboarders and bike riders at the skate park on last month to reopen the facility following its $449,900 upgrade. The need for an upgrade was identified early last year to address public safety and security concerns at the site and the wider precinct. Work started in September last year and was completed in February. The upgraded skate park includes new skate elements such as quarter pipes, ramps, boxes and rails, as well as a new shade shelter, drinking fountain, bike racks, lockers, lighting, safety signage, seating and electrical works. The project also allowed the shire to make repairs to the existing concrete slab and undertake landscaping works. Cr Gamble said it pleasing to see the works completed, but he hoped to see the skate park continue to grow. “The upgraded Bannockburn Skate Park is an impressive recreation facility for young people in our Shire and this project has improved the skate options at the park as well as delivered on community safety initiatives in the growing town of Bannockburn,” he said. “Council thanks the local young people who were actively involved with the project’s technical and creative design process through consultation last year, as well as the Victorian and Australian governments for funding the Bannockburn Skate Park upgrade. “Next on the plans for this popular community facility, council is seeking funding in the lead up to the federal and state elections this year to build a skate bowl at the park, as well as a new BMX/pump track to complete the precinct.” The $449,900 project was funded by state and federal government grants. The shire received $250,000 from the state government through its Community Safety Infrastructure grant program and an $199,900 allocation from the federal government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program. “It is great that young people who use this facility have been able to have input into the upgraded skate park,” Ms Couzens said. 12543378-HC14-22

Call to cancel the Geelong Cup By Ash Bolt The Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds has called for this month’s Geelong Cup to be cancelled after four dogs were euthanised in three weeks after incidents at the Beckley Centre track last month. According to a stewards’ report, three-year-old Zipping Slade was euthanised by the on-track vet on April 5 after fracturing its foreleg when it collided with other dogs at the first turn and fell during a race. It was third dog euthanised due to injuries sustained in races at the track in the space of three weeks, along with Mr Blurton, who fractured its foreleg on March 22, Aston Spinel,

who fractured its foreleg on March 18, and Good Girl Gracie, which broke two ankles on March 15. It followed two other incidents resulting in euthanasia in January and February. Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds director Kylie Field called for the upcoming Geelong Cup, scheduled for April 15 and 22, to be scrapped. “Geelong is now Australia’s deadliest track, where six dogs have been euthanased due to broken legs. All greyhounds suffered their injuries after colliding with other dogs where the track turns,” she said. “A broken leg isn’t a fatal injury and these greyhounds could have been saved. The racing

industry considers greyhounds as disposable once they stop earning money. “Greyhound Racing Victoria must show it cares about greyhound welfare and launch an independent and public review of safety at the Geelong track. “Racing has been cancelled at Cranbourne and Traralgon after greyhound deaths and Geelong has to be closed as well. The Geelong Cup must be cancelled this year. “Racetracks are inherently dangerous for greyhounds. Curved tracks are lethal, and all six Geelong deaths occurred at Geelong’s turns.” A Greyhound Racing Victoria spokesperson said ensuring tracks were safe for racing

AUSTRALIA’S ECONOMIC PLAN Employment’s up, so we’re taking the next step. There are now 260,000 more people in work than before COVID. And Australia performed better than major advanced economies through the pandemic. That’s why we’re taking the next step.

was a priority. “The trainers, their staff and owners of the dogs involved in recent racing incidences at Geelong in particular have been left saddened and distressed, given their love of their dogs and the care they provide them,” the spokesperson said. “Every time a dog is injured, to any degree, on track, a thorough analysis of what occurred takes place. This occurs immediately following the incident, before the next race is conducted, to ensure the track remains safe for racing which is a key priority for GRV. “GRV will not allow racing to continue at any venue around the state if it deems the track or conditions are foreseeably unsafe.”

Major roadworks pushing ahead Works on the Barwon Heads Road upgrade are pushing ahead, with significant progress made during the summer. More than 90,000 cubic metres of earth has been moved to allow the construction of new lanes, bridges and retaining walls, while 15 kilometres of drainage under the road has also been installed. Contractors also used the summer months to relocate more than 10 kilometres worth of telecommunications, electricity and water infrastructure to allow for the expansion. A new access road connecting Barwon Heads Road to Horseshoe Bend Road has also opened. Works have now started on the foundation for the bridge over the railway line at Marshall. Almost 1500 piles have been installed for the bridge, as well as the bridge over Waurn Ponds Creek, and manufacturing of the Thomson bridge’s steel beams is underway at a Corio factory. Over the weekend, 24-hour works took place from 7pm on Friday, April 1 until 6am Monday, April 4 between Settlement Road and Breakwater Road, to install drainage under Barwon Heads Road to prepare for new lanes. During the weekend closure, Barwon Heads Road was closed in both directions between Settlement Road and Breakwater Road. The Barwon Heads Upgrade project extends four kilometres from Settlement Road to Reserve Road and includes upgraded intersections and new traffic lights, new shared walking and cycling paths and dedicated road cycling lanes, as well as the level crossing removal and new bridge. Once complete, the duplication will improve safety and traffic flow and cater for up to 44,000 daily journeys by 2031. “This project is vital to the local community – providing better connections and improving safety for the many families, business owners and essential services travelling between Geelong and the Bellarine,” South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman said. “It’s great to see works progressing – which will slash travel times and help get motorists home safer and sooner.” Ash Bolt

Developing leaders of the future By Ash Bolt The region’s young people will have an opportunity to learn what it takes to contribute at board of management level, thanks to the City of Greater Geelong’s ‘Youth on Board’ initiative. Through the initiative, selected young people will be trained and supported to become board members of local organisations to provide a youth voice. Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said the program would provide an opportunity for the City’s 18 to 25-year-olds to acquire a unique set of skills while assisting organisations to tailor their operations to attract a wider scope

- Sarah Mansfield of consumers. “The city has 25,000 young people aged between 18 and 25 years, many of whom would welcome an opportunity to acquire a clearer understanding of what it means to be a part of a board,” Cr Sullivan said. “At the same time as assisting a young person in governance training, the participating

organisations can benefit by having a youth voice in planning. “Young people are large consumers of products and services and will continue to be as they enter adulthood.” Young people from the Youth on Board program will attend governance training before being matched with a local organisation. Cr Sarah Mansfield said the value of the knowledge young people could provide to boards through the region couldn’t be understated. “The diversity a youth voice and skill set brings extends to digital literacy, contemporary communication methods, problem solving and the ability to assess and

analyse,” Cr Mansfield said. “We know too that young people are naturally curious and will challenge the status quo.” The program’s participants will be assigned a mentor from the participating organisation and will receive ongoing support through City of Greater Geelong’s Youth Development Unit. The participating organisations will also be supported through the process. Any organisations in the City of Greater Geelong municipality that would like to learn more about the program can contact the City’s Youth on Board officer on 5272 6120.

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 Guide The fab four: Amanda Keller, Barry Du Bois, Dr Chris Brown and Miguel Maestre return with season 11 of The Living Room.

PICK OF THE WEEK THE LIVING ROOM 10, Friday, 7.30pm

If the sneak peek of season 11 of The Living Room is anything to go by, the crew are swinging back to the ’60s for a whole lot of fun. But for hosts Amanda Keller, Dr Chris Brown, Miguel Maestre and Barry Du Bois, variety is the spice of life: we don’t expect them to spend long in their psychedelic ’60s getup before another round of dress-ups takes their fancy. One thing fans can expect from this fun and enthusiastic lifestyle series is the return of The Help Desk and heartwarming stories of the team lending a hand to Australian families and communities in need, along with a series on travel for dummies and some pretty special dinner guests to keep everyone on their toes. Tonight, Miguel embarks on a ‘Crazy Bull Five-Star Tour’ of Melbourne with Chris, who has no idea what he’s in for with the charismatic chef in charge. Meanwhile, Barry and Amanda help a local soccer club in need of a makeover. It’s reliably fun Friday night fare.

JANET JACKSON Nine, Sunday, 8pm

From her underprivileged childhood to becoming one of the highest-selling artists in music history, this four-part exposé manages to shine new light on Janet Jackson’s (pictured) life. It was filmed over a five-year period, compiled using home footage, interviews with family and friends – including some of her brothers, mother and fellow musicians, Missy Elliott and Paula Abdul. In this double-episode special, Janet’s early years, including her personal life and career missteps, are put under the magnifying glass. BRITAIN BY BEACH SBS, Monday, 7.35pm

The beautiful and rugged coastline of Britain has seen more than just ice creams and children’s toes in its long history. While presenter Anita Rani (pictured) is, of course, partial to a sorbet on the sand, she is also keen to reveal the remarkable stories that have taken place on the country’s beaches. She begins her windswept, salty air pilgrimage in Devon, where she recounts the wartime disaster Exercise Tiger, visits a gorgeous hotel adored by writer Agatha Christie and encounters a haunted village. THE ROOKIE Prime7, Tuesday, 8.30pm

Now that we’re more than halfway through season four of this comfort viewing-style police dramedy, it’s questionable whether we can still call its main protagonist, middle-aged cop John Nolan (Nathan Fillion), a rookie, but this season really has dialled up the drama. In “Heart Beat”, Nolan is confronted with big moments, both personally and professionally when a plane crashes in the city. Then, in “End Game” Officers Chen (Melissa O’Neil) and Bradford (Eric Winter) investigate the murder of a homeless teenager.

After joining the school fresh out of her studies in 1976, Ms Mathison has taught hundreds of pupils throughout her time in Winchelsea. “This is the one and only school I’ve been at,” she said. “I was born and bred in Melbourne and went to Toorak Teachers College [but] I just wanted to try the country lifestyle. “I loved the beach so I applied for the Geelong region, which was all the way from the Geelong to Warrnambool and I ended up with Winchelsea. “So I came here as a very naïve 20-year-old … and I got involved in the community, mainly with sport, and met my husband, so there were plenty of reasons to stay.” When she first joined the school, it was a higher elementary school that catered to students up to year 10, but became the Winchelsea Primary School in the 1980s. “It’s a great little school and a great little community,” Ms Mathison said. “I’ve loved my time here – I counted it the other day and there had been 10 different principals in that time. “I’ve taught every grade at some point and five years ago I decided to ease myself out of it and go part-time, and since then I’ve been the Indonesian teacher. “I just love it. I love teaching. I love the kids. “But I decided, you know, it’s time to pull the pin and maybe do some other things – play a bit more of golf, I just having golf lessons. “I’m also looking forward to playing more tennis … and a bit of travel now that we’re allowed to after the last couple of years.”

She said the biggest change she had seen in her time was a greater focus on data in teaching. “Nowadays there’s a lot more data collected and the curriculum is a lot more crowded,” she said. “Especially with the younger grades, like the preps, that can be a bit tough because that doesn’t leave much time for all the fun stuff and the extra-curricular activities.

“But the students haven’t changed much during that time, they still surprise me with how clever they are and what things they already know about now. “It’s been a fantastic time and I’ll miss seeing the students and the staff every day I’m here … but if the last couple of years have taught us anything, it’s that you have to enjoy life while you can.”

Geelong set for internet boost Residents of eight suburbs and towns across the City of Greater Geelong will get faster internet under a $73 million boost to the NBN network. The state government announced last week it had signed an agreement with NBN Co to improve broadband connections across 54 suburbs with 1000 kilometres of fibre. The works, to be completed over the next two years, will impact more than 34,000 homes and around 7700 businesses. The eight suburbs and towns in Greater Geelong are Corio, Lara, North Geelong, Geelong, Highton, Belmont, Grovedale and Ocean Grove. Innovation, Medical Research and the Digital Economy Minister Jaala Pulford said the upgrade would allow for speeds of up to one gigabit per second – about 10 times faster than is currently available. She said the upgrade followed community feedback that connectivity issues were holding people and businesses back, with a greater focus on working remotely. “Better connectivity in Victoria is critical in creating more opportunities for jobs, supporting small business and keeping people connected,” she said. “This project is delivering better internet services for thousands of families and businesses, now and in the future.” All fibre funded by the state government is due to be rolled out by mid-2024, with some locations being able to connect from mid-2023.

Library funding boost

New path to train station

By Ash Bolt Newtown’s Chilwell Library has received a $150,000 funding boost towards its planned upgrade. The City of Greater Geelong has been successful in securing the grant funding from the state government’s Living Libraries Infrastructure Program. Council’s 2021-22 budget included a $100,000 allocation for design work, while it is expected a further $900,000 for construction will be included in the 2022-23 budget. DE Atelier Architects has been appointed to work with the Geelong Regional Library Corporation, Friends of Chilwell Library group and community stakeholders in the redesign of the library. Detailed design will be completed by June with construction to start in September. Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said: “We know this upgrade is important for the Newtown community. “The Chilwell Library is a much-loved community asset that has served its community since 1958. “The upgrade will provide spaces that will more than double the library’s capacity, enabling opportunities for more diverse programs for all age groups.” The city had previously flagged its plan to upgrade the library and asked for community feedback late last year, to ensure it remained community-focused but was better integrated with the surrounding park. The redevelopment complements the city’s planned investments in new libraries in Armstrong Creek, Drysdale and Lara. Geelong Regional Library Corporation chair Ron Nelson said the investment highlighted the council’s commitment to providing high-quality libraries across the region.

“Libraries are an integral part of our communities; they help encourage a lifelong love of reading and learning, support people to develop new skills, develop digital literacy, access support and information, and meet people,” Cr Nelson said. Geelong MP Christine Couzens welcomed the government’s funding commitment.

“I know how much the Chilwell library is valued by the local community as a place to meet and to learn,” Ms Couzens said. “The state government is proud to support this upgrade to provide a modern library facility the community deserve.” Details: yoursay.geelongaustralia.com.au/ CLR

The growing Mount Duneed and Armstrong Creek communities will benefit for easier access to Waurn Ponds train station, with a new walking and cycling track set to be installed. The new pathway will extend the existing shared user path on Baanip Boulevard along Muir Road to the station, linking to the new second platform, ramp, stairs and pedestrian overpass at Waurn Ponds Station. Passengers accessing the station from the south side will also be able to use the new bike storage and hoops installed with the new second platform as part of the Waurn Ponds Station upgrade. Rail Projects Victoria has worked with the City of Greater Geelong and the Department of Transport over recent months to plan and design the new pathway, which will include features such as CCTV and lighting to ensure a safe and convenient connection for passengers. Construction on the new path will begin next month and is targeted for completion in mid-2022. South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman welcomed the announcement, after starting a petition earlier this year for the path to be connected. “I’m delighted to have led a community campaign to extend the Baanip Boulevard footpath into the south side of Waurn Ponds Station,” he said. “With over 850 signatures this shows how valuable the access is to the Mount Duneed community. “I am very happy with this great local community win.”

Kaz Leong holding a photograph from her Still Beautiful series.

FRIDAY FEATURE

Photos straight from the heart Shy and introverted as a child, Kaz Leong was given a camera when she was 10 and it changed her entire outlook on life, as Justin Flynn reports.

orn in Ballarat and growing up in Buninyong, a country childhood did little for Kaz’s confidence. “I had a country childhood, a little bit lonely – the camera allowed me to meet people,” she says. A career in nursing then forced Kaz to put herself out there and with her camera, she began a journey to and from Malaysia that would change her life. “Six years ago, when I was 51, there was an art residency that came up in Penang (Malaysia),” she says.

‘‘

The images for hospice were so powerful but so beautiful - Kaz Leong

’’

“I took three months long-service leave and I thought I would be lonely and scared, but no not at all. It was just amazing. It was the best time of my life. I literally discovered myself.” Kaz took to Malaysia so much that she started taking photos of people on the streets. “An overwhelming amount of people would say ‘yes’ when I asked them if I could take their photograph,” she says. “I printed them and gave them out. So I gave about 450 to 500 photos out to the people of Penang and they looked after me. “I could walk the streets and they would toot their horns and wave, give me drinks and cans of beer, even though I don’t drink beer.” Kaz put her nursing skills to use and volunteered for hospice and also took pictures of her patients who were being cared for. “I printed the photos and sent them the photos immediately,” she says. “One lady had a brain tumor and I expected her to be unconscious, but she was in a bed in her front room in a tiny apartment. It was

dark and a housing commission. “But she was conscious and alert and we did the nursing part of it and then did the family portraits. She got her photos a few days later and she cried, went into a coma the following day and died a few days later. “The images for hospice were so powerful but so beautiful. She was glad that someone had done that for her and her family.” Kaz says it’s sometimes a juggling act dealing with the emotion of hospice and making sure the patient and photo subject is treated with dignity and respect. “All of my work is gratis, so I don’t take any money,” she says. “I’m always very conscious of the fact that it needs to be done respectfully and with permission from all involved.” Kaz has also done a solo exhibition in Malaysia called ‘Caring Matters’. “I photographed people in a family situation, like caring for people in their family with all different types of illnesses,” she says. “The opening was upstairs at the cafe and it was quiet and I thought to myself ‘wow, this

is too powerful’. And as I walked down the stairs they all stopped in the cafe and I got a standing ovation.” Back home in St Leonards, where Kaz and Malaysian husband have lived for the past eight months, Kaz has been working on a project called ‘Still Beautiful Bellarine’, an exhibition showing that women over the age of 50 are still very much beautiful. “Women of my age are a bit shy and are not sure,” Kaz says. “They hold back. I just ask them to trust me and they get a surprise. Don’t forget to tell your mum or your aunty or anyone that you’ve got that they are still beautiful to you. “My mum died when I was 24. As a 24-year-old you think you know the world and you say ‘Mum, don’t ring me all the time’ but I’d give anything for her to be with me.” Kaz’s advice to her 10-year-old self or other young girls in the same lonely situation she found herself in is simple. “I’d tell them to find their passion and run with it,” she says. “It doesn’t matter whether

it’s something small. If you get joy out of it and can inspire others by doing it and set an example, just do it.” And what makes a good photographer of people? “I definitely learned how to see it all with nursing,” she says. “My daughter did gymnastics and I judged gymnastics, so when I take photos it’s about emotion, but it’s also a contrast of light, shade and movement. “By judging gymnastics for eight years and also as a nurse, you’re a trained observer.” Kaz plans to get back to Malaysia as soon as she can. “The people have a real generosity of spirit,” she says. “They will give you anything. I’ll walk past a lady who is fixing shoes on the side of a six-lane road in the heat and I’ll go and get her a bottle of water and bring it to her because they would do the same for me. “You never fall over in Malaysia and just be left. Someone would help. They are very generous.” Friday, 8 April, 2022 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 21

New art to be unveiled at Boom Boom Gallery is preparing for its next set of exhibitions, featuring a solo exhibition from Harry McEvoy and group exhibition featuring Ellie Malin, Marnie Ross and Emma Lipscombe. McEvoy’s exhibition, Mirrors, and the group exhibition, Chroma, will both open on April 28 and run until May 22, with an official celebration from 1-3pm on Saturday, May 7. Mirrors is a celebration of McEvoy’s youthful energy and boldness, with the Surf Coast native first exhibiting at the gallery as a high school student in 2015. He said the work was his response to his new environments as he grew up. “Over the past year I’ve developed a new body of work in response to navigating new environments. In which I’ve moved out of my normal studio space and now working in a large old shed on a farming property. “[It’s] a change which has influenced large scale faces and figures to appear upon the wooden panels and canvas. Both space and time have allowed me to create obscure portraits that are reflective of the viewer. “When making this body of work the process felt very natural. “I get a great freedom of throwing myself into a blank canvas and navigating the surface.

Harry McEvoy’s potraits will be the focus of Boom Gallery’s exhibition Mirrors.

Building form and composition until a figure slowly starts to jump out at me.” Chroma, the group exhibition featuring small works by three painters working across Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia, is a celebration of colour and represents hope and joy. Western Australian artist Emma Lipscombe said her works focus on geometric shapes and colour.

“These paintings form part of my ongoing study of colour, pattern, space and scale,” she said. “Grouped and simplified shapes, repetition in pattern and simple forms all with varying colour exploration form the basis of my practice. Often harmonious outcomes though sometime not, it’s a never ending ritual I’m happy to endure.” A previous exhibitor at Boom Gallery, Ellie

Malin’s works utilise layered fields of colour and bold geometries to capture her observations from life. “Late 2021 we tentatively stepped out of a series of long confinements to our homes and into a new strange way of life where each day holds the chance to embrace all that we’d longed for,” she said. “With these artworks, I attempt to challenge my own assumptions of how colours functions within a composition and take chances by working with a prismatic palette. Shifting shapes of primary colours, intense glowing tones and pastel hues sit unabashedly in unison.” The final artist in the exhibition, Marnie Ross’ work focuses on explorations of colour and texture. The contrast between soft dusky tones and saturated bold colours are further enhanced by the variation in paint application with thin frosty glazes revealing the textured surface below. In recent years she has been inspired by the unique landscape of Central Australia and its luminescent light patterns. In her new body of work featured in Chroma the abstract landscapes have been reduced to minimal compositions, directing the focus to colour relationships and tones.

Plenty to do these school holidays The City of Greater Geelong is hosting a range of activities to help kids have fun these school holidays. Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said the City of Greater Geelong was running an exciting program for kids including puppet shows, circus performers, roving music and Easter craft activities. “There’s a lot to keep the whole family entertained these school holidays across Greater Geelong and the Bellarine,” he said. “We want to provide opportunities for younger residents to get out and experience new activities this autumn.” Community health portfolio chair Sarah Mansfield said the city was conscious of the need to provide activities for young people, particularly at times when parents may be juggling work and other commitments. “It’s wonderful to see a jam-packed program

available for kids across Greater Geelong. We have activities available for kids of all ages and some activities for parents too,” Cr Mansfield said. The free activities will include a solar powered puppet show from 10-10.45am on Wednesday, April 13 and 20 at the Green Spin Park in Malop Street and Nic Dacomb’s Bebop Circus from 11.30am-1.30pm on Thursday, April 21 at 111-113 Little Malop Street. Children will also have the chance to use potato printing techniques to make their own Easter cards on Monday, April 11 and Tuesday, April 12. Sessions start at 10am and 11am at 111-113 Little Malop Street and bookings are required. There will also be roving beats and bubbles from noon to 2pm on Tuesday, April 19 at the Green Spine Park, while Johnstone Park will host activities for children to make large-scale

walking drawings with jumbo chalk sticks from 11am-4pm on Saturday, April 9 and 23. Also among the activities are ‘Draw the Music’ sessions, where children will be guided by a local artist to create a work of art that captures the sound around them. The session will be held at Centrepoint Arcade Atrium, from 10.30-11.20am on Thursday, April 21. Bookings required. Children will also be able to join Manda Lane for a free colouring in activity, celebrating native florals of the Greater Geelong region by decorating a series of paper florals that will be collected and turned into a mural on Little Malop Street. The session will run from 11.00am-2pm on Saturday, April 16 at the Love Central Geelong Hub at 111-113 Little Malop Street. Bookings required. Details: centralgeelong.com.au

City of Greater Geelong arts, live entertainment and hospitality portfolio chair Eddy Kontelj encouraged the community to head down and enjoy the free event. “Billabong Songs is a celebration of culture, taking place in one of the most serene open spaces in our region,” he said.“This free event brings culture and community together in Geelong, here on Wadawurrung Country and we are so proud to be able to present Billabong Songs as part of Surround Sounds for everyone to enjoy and experience.” Surround Sounds Music Festival takes places across various venues and locations in the City of Greater Geelong and the Bellarine between until May 8.

Compass Trailhawk is a rare bird By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring Jeep says the Compass Trailhawk is set up for tough going. (Pictures: Supplied)

Having not ridden the Rubicon Trail, I could be wrong, but I would be loath to tackle the rock-strewn passage in the Sierra Nevada, rated a ten in difficulty, in the Jeep Compass Trailhawk, which the maker says has tamed the track and earned its Trail Rated tag. This small-to-medium sport utility vehicle, the flagship of the Compass range, which was tweaked last year, is a solitary ‘bird’, being one of the few diesel-powered compact SUVs around. One of four Compass models (three petrol powered) that come to market starting at $39,950, plus on-road costs, the diesel Trailhawk sells for $52,650. Premium paint adds $645, while a Premium Package, including twin-pane panoramic sunroof, ventilated and heated front seats, heated steering wheel and Alpine nine-speaker Premium Audio adds a further $3950 to the price, putting the vehicle close to prestige car territory. In keeping with its Trail Rated status, the robust Compass Trailhawk comes with off-road kit including underbody skid plates, 180 Amp alternator, two front red tow hooks, reversible material / rubber cargo area mat, low-range gearing, hill hold and terrain mode selector.

Styling

Interior For many years Jeeps were not known for stylish refinements and easily accessible control systems. The Compass sets the new standard in this field with a more functional use of space and convenience. A higher central tunnel offers almost five litres of storage under the armrest and an additional 2.4-litre compartment, next to the new gear lever, with space to take a mini-tablet. Convenience extends to the rear, with a new automatic tailgate operated by means of a kicking motion under the bumper providing access to the cargo area. Rubber mats front and centre, plus a rubber / material a double-sided mat in the luggage area stand owners in good stead for carting all the kit needed when making the best of the great outdoors.

Infotainment The Compass debuts the latest generation Jeep Uconnect with its 10.1-inch-highdefinition touchscreen with TomTom navigation incorporated. Upgrades include voice recognition, woken by the phrase ‘Hey Jeep’, to control settings and program the air-conditioning and change radio via voice commands. Wireless smartphone charging is available across the Compass range via a pad in front of the gearshift.

combining the above with adaptive cruise control, drowsy driver alert and automatic braking with pedestrian and cyclist recognition. Carried over are forward collision warning, lane sense departure warning, electronic stability control with electronic roll mitigation. Front, side and curtain airbags stay standard across the Compass range.

Driving Keyless entry was debatable, failing to respond to the key fob button on several occasions. The mystery was solved when a message on the instrument screen announced the key fob battery was low. Totally out of order on such a new vehicle. The Trailhawk was slow to respond to the gas pedal and once or twice on an incline, even with foot flat to the boards, the transmission was reluctant to change up and move on smoothly. Jeep rates the fuel consumption at 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined urban / highway cycle. On test it was more like 8.3 litres per 100km on a combination of city and country driving. As for lane keeping assist, Active Lane Manager in Jeep speak, was heavy handed and rived the steering wheel, causing the Compass to come to heel at the slightest shift from lane centre. Opt out, and the system can be disengaged. Flat firm seats would be far from welcoming on an extended run. But parking manoeuvres are kept well in the picture with the car’s 360-degree camera views. Extra ground clearance and increased approach and departure angles go some way to validating the small SUV’s Jeep Trail Rating.

Summary The Compass Trailhawk would pass for a good-looking boulevard cruising SUV, or on unsealed dirt or in snow, but I retain some doubts, due to its lack of muscle, as to its handling of serious off-road obstacles such as boulders or logs. AT A GLANCE MODEL RANGE

Engines / transmissions The Compass Trailhawk is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine producing 125 kW and 350 Nm and paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. Jeep claims combined fuel consumption of 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres and CO2 emissions of 181 g/km.

Subject heavily to the designer’s pen, the Jeep Compass has been refreshed across the range. In keeping with its Trail Rated off-road performance the Trailhawk has taken on a unique grille treatment, coloured foglamp bezels, prominent skid plate and stand-alone 17-inch alloy wheels. Functionality comes to the fore with bumpers, foglamps, and camera radar housed in a higher position for greater protection off road. This is further enhanced by full LED daytime running lights, high and low beam, plus fog lamps, having doubled in brightness over the old Xenon headlamps. The rear has followed suit by being given a more modern, bolder look via its sleek taillights.

Men’s finals go down to the wire LOCAL TENNIS

Donna Schoenmaekers Tennis Geelong’s senior competition saw the mixed and men’s sections won in contrasting styles, with most men’s matches tied on sets and decided on games, while the mixed sections were quite one sided. The men’s competition was incredibly close this week, with four of the six matches decided on games, and only two of the six home teams winning through. Moolap overcame Western Heights Uniting in Section 3 by only one game, and Hamlyn Park Blue finished two games ahead of All Saints in Section 4. The most comfortable win for the week was Newcomb over Barwon Heads five sets to one in Section 2, while in Section 6 Surfcoast Jan Juc had its first win for the season over Highton 4-2. Section 5 minor premier Fyans Park will be licking its wounds and looking to next season

The Western Heights Uniting mixed Section 9 team of Evie Ryan, Bruce Rookes, Bruce Waldron and Anee Omant. (Supplied)

after going down to All Saints by one game this week, after missing out last week by the same margin to Grovedale. Section 1 was also tied on sets with a two-game margin to Grovedale. In a battle that was neck and neck, Jai Bosnjak proved the difference, winning his three sets for the day.

It was preliminary final week for the top six mixed sections, while Sections 7 to 9 were all in sudden death semis. Unlike the men, all but one home team made it through to next week, and mostly won through comfortably. Sections 1, 2, 5 and 6 saw Grovedale Yellow, Highton, Wandana Heights and Newcomb have 5-1 wins against Grovedale Black, St Albans, Moolap and Lara to progress to their grand finals, while Clifton Springs took a clean sweep against Ocean Grove in Section 3. Anglesea put itself in the Section 4 final with Claire Ingram as the standout taking her three sets in the 4-2 win over Barwon Heads. Of the teams playing semi finals this week, the biggest upset for the day was Sutherlands Creek over Wandana Heights in Section 8. This was the team’s first win over Wandana in their four meetings for the season, with James Iwanuch leading the charge, winning his three sets for the day, and the team getting up four sets to two.

Close matches shape junior finals LOCAL TENNIS

Donna Schoenmaekers It was a dreary day for finals last week, but that didn’t stop the teams from 19 different clubs in Tennis Geelong’s junior competition from battling it out for a place in the grand finals. There was a mixture of results with Centre Court’s Section 3 boys, Point Lonsdale’s Section 15 boys, and the Section 9 girls from All Saints taking clean sweeps to progress, while the matches for boys Section 2, 6, 9, 13 and 14, and girls Section 1, 3 and 9 were all tied on sets and decided on games. The closest match of the day, however, was Section 8 girls first semi-final between St Mary’s and Drysdale, where the match was tied, and went to a deciding set. Ava Burke took the first singles for Drysdale with a hard fought win in a tie-break, but St Mary’s Emily Cowled, Makayla Debooy and Ilsa Eslick put themselves in front winning the remaining singles 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 respectively. The doubles both went the way of Drysdale with Ava and Stella Burke taking the first 6-3 while Mikayla Wiffen and Olivia Richardson took the second 6-1 forcing the match to the seventh set, which Alice Bulcher and Emily Cowled won for St Mary’s 6-3 earning them a grand final spot. Section 11 boys will see a rematch for this week’s winner Ocean Grove when it comes up against Geelong Lawn after besting Centre Court 4-2. The section has been dominated by these three teams, with each team having two losses for the season, one against each of the other teams. Ocean Grove started strongly with Brody Hooton, Tommy Pallero and Quinn Taylor winning their singles 6-3, 6-2, 6-5 respectively, while Christian Liburdi kept Centre Court’s chances alive with a 6-0 win in the fourth. With nervous parents watching on, all eight boys played confidently with Centre Court’s Jensen Fenske and Axel Potter-Ayres winning the fifth set in a tight tie-break, but with Ocean Grove’s Quinn Taylor and Tommy Pallero taking the last 6-3, Ocean Grove took a 4-2 win and booked its place in the grand final. Section 8 boys was perhaps the toughest result to pick this week. While Bannockburn and Point Lonsdale finished in the top two positions, both had suffered losses to their opponents, Waurn Ponds and Barwon Heads, through the season. In Bannockburn and Waurn Ponds’ three matches through the season all were tied at three sets all, with Bannockburn taking two matches by four games, and the Ponds the other by three games. 28 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 8 April, 2022

Drysdale was too good for last year’s Section 8 premier Surfcoast Bellbrae, winning the second semi five sets to one. Section 7 saw Grovedale neck and neck with Eastern Districts for the first four sets, but took the final two sets 6-4 to give it a 4-2 win, helped by Diane Ambrus taking her three sets for the day. In the other match, Surfcoast Torquay proved too strong for Drysdale/Clifton Springs, winning through five sets to one. Highton continued its unbeaten run in Section 9 with a 6-0 win over fourth placed Fyans Park, while in the second semi the family combination of Evie Ryan with grandfather Bruce Rookes took it to Wandana Heights. The teams were tied at two sets all but Wandana ahead with a four game lead going into the final mixed sets. Wandana rallied to take both remaining sets for a 4-2 win and a berth in the grand final.

Grand final wins in triples LOCAL TENNIS Tyler Krumholz

Waurn Ponds started well with Katalia Mayes, Eli Stevens and Austin Mayes taking their singles 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, while Christian Ballis took the third 6-3 for Bannockburn. The doubles went one each way with Nick Allwood and Harry Brown winning 6-3 for Bannockburn and Josiah Steven and Austin Mayes the final set for Waurn Ponds 6-4 giving it a 4-2 win. Point Lonsdale lead Barwon Heads 2-1 going into their match, however Barwon Heads

levelled the head to head, taking a convincing 5-1 win to produce a grand final of third versus fourth. The Heads lead from the outset with Michael Sheridan, Cooper Hill and Jasper Delany winning their singles 6-4, 6-1, 6-2, while Ted Cooper won the fourth singles for Point Lonsdale 6-0. Barwon Heads capped off the day with Sheridan and Delaney taking the fifth, and Hill and Fynn Condon the sixth 6-4, 6-4.

The Tennis Geelong triples season wrapped four of its five sections last week, with all four teams winning their first triples grand finals in their section. In Section 1, the Drysdale NSA won the grudge match after splitting two regular season matches against the Wallabies. Wallabies number one Brad Pearson suffered an injury the week prior to the grand final, and was unavailable. Fill-in Daniel Smith combined with Matt Lyon and Will Tohill to make a valiant effort, but fell just short, 3-3 30-25. The NSA used a strategic line-up shift with Nathan Jorgenson playing number three, which paid off when he won all three sets on the night, taking his singles 6-3, doubles with Andrew Vlahovic 6-2, and doubles with Simon Brown 6-2. Section 2’s Leopold was even on the ladder with All Saints Anglican, but put in a strong showing on grand final night to win 4-2 27-18. Leopold’s number one Matt Young turned in a dominant performance, only losing three games in three sets. Young upped his lifetime singles record in triples competition to 26-0. Leopold played four players in the final, with Sally Hughes, Emma Kleindienst, and Anna Kleindienst all contributing to the win. CocoBewares won its first triples premiership, taking the Section 4 win 4-2 31-17 over Table 29 Tennis Association. CocoBewares’ doubles prowess propelled it to the win, dropping just three games in three doubles sets. Brad Walker wrapped up an undefeated singles season by only losing two games total on the night, including 6-0 doubles sets with Tony Bongiorno and Daniel Fraser. Walker was thrilled at the win, signing off the season as “CocoBewares make history”. Natural Guts had the most dominant performance in a grand final, winning 5-1 30-13 over the Kangaroos in Section 5. Hayden Morrow and Aaron Cashion won all three of their sets handily, where Javid Forssman dropped his singles to the Kangaroos’ Guillermo Andy.

Selwood set to miss Lions game Geelong coach Chris Scott has revealed Joel Selwood will be rested for tonight’s important match against the Brisbane Lions under the club’s rotation policy. Selwood was the centre of attention last weekend as he captained the Cats for the 227th time in the win against Collingwood, breaking Stephen Kernahan’s long-standing record for most AFL games captained. But Scott said on Wednesday Selwood would sit out for the match against Brisbane, who are currently undefeated on top of the ladder. Scott said there was no injury concern around the captain, but the club would continue to rest

players throughout the season. “It’s something that’s been earmarked over a number of weeks now,” Scott said. “We’ve got some guys that we are going to be proactive with and they’re not going to play games even when they’re in good health. “We want to have them at their best deep into the season and we think we’ve got a broad group of players that can all contribute, and we want to use them. “We don’t want to get stuck with the same 22 every week.” The decision comes a fortnight after the Cats raised eyebrows when Shaun Higgins was

rested for the round two game, which Scott said was part of plan to ensure senior players weren’t all rested at the same time. Scott said Esava Ratugolea was likely to play against Brisbane despite suffering an ankle injury last week that saw him subbed out. However Sam Menegola’s return from knee surgery has received a setback, after he picked up an injury in his VFL return last week. “Sam has gone into the concussion protocols,” Geelong football general manager Simon Lloyd said. “It’s unfortunate because Sam has obviously been working for several months now on a

Bowls premiership glory for Grovers Ocean Grove etched its own piece of history into the Geelong Bowls Region’s history books by becoming the first club to win both Premier and Division 1 premierships in the same season. The Premier Division side was on the top of the ladder for most of the season while the Division 1 team won from fourth spot after just scraping into the final four. Ocean Grove defeated Highton in the Premier grand final on Sunday, April 3, 75 to 62 in a tight tussle at Drysdale. The Grovers won three of the four rinks on offer. Brad Pavey skipped his rink of Wade Bowyer, Ken Thomas and Glenn Baudinette to a five-shot win while Matt Flapper skipped his rink of Craig Rippon, Mark Featherston and Michael Sloper to a seven-shot triumph. Peter Loe, Andrew Gower, Rod Brehaut and Shane Wilson won by nine shots. Michael West, Cheyne Verrier, Callum Hanna and Chris Price lost, but limited the damage to just eight shots, giving Ocean Grove a sweet victory. Ocean Grove defeated Torquay 77 to 68 at Queenscliff in Division 1 and did it the hard way. The Grovers snuck into the finals by the barest of margins in the final home and away round and came back from a big deficit to win the grand final. Both sides won a rink each, but Grove’s wins were bigger, leading to premiership glory. Luke Benson, David Rudge, Ron Brown and David Meeny had a 28 to 11 win and Rick Webb, Geoff Fry, Terence Brady and Garry Bowyer were comprehensive seven-shot winners. Ocean Grove coach Matt Flapper said the celebrations afterwards were “amazing”. “From a coach’s perspective, to win both the highest divisions is a thrill,” he said. “I always felt we (Premier Division) were a contender. We were playing good bowls when it mattered most and the team was united with everyone contributing and playing their role. “To see Division 1 triumph was unbelievable. Six weeks ago we were battling to stay in the

top four let alone win a flag but all of a sudden a bit of belief filters in, players develop some confidence which brings unity and all of a sudden we are contenders.” Flapper said the Premier Division grand final was a see-sawing contest. “We started well out of the blocks to lead overall at about the 20-end mark but Highton came back strong to lead by up to 10 shots throughout the majority of the afternoon from that point,” he said. “It wasn’t until approximately the 60-end mark we had made a comeback to level the scores. “It remained tight for the next 15 ends before we were able to put together a couple of good ends which then opened up a gap again. “Brad Pavey skipped his first premiership in the highest grade and at 21 years old I could not be prouder of his growth as a player and as a

leader. He has taken his game to the next level and is one of the best in Geelong now. He has a massive future. He led his team to a crucial five-shot win against Highton coach Dan Priddle.” Pavey finished and then Peter Loe finished strongly, scoring nine shots in the last three ends to win 23-14. “Those two rinks were both off the green with Mick West, battling all day against an inform Tom Hicks, and myself left with one end to play each and the overall buffer out to 16 shots which was a huge relief that the game had been basically wrapped up and the premiership returning to Ocean Grove.” Ocean Grove has qualified for the State Pennant Title in Moama on May 21 and 22.

huge training and conditioning phase. “This is a small hiccup in his plans, but he should be available and playing before he knows it.” New recruit Jonathon Ceglar is also set for a stint on the sidelines after breaking his foot in the VFL. Scott said it was likely Mark O’Connor and Gryan Miers would return to the senior team, while Quinton Narkle has also put his hand up for selection with strong reserves form. Scott added the Cats first year draftees would need some more experience in the VFL before coming into the AFL team.

Cats among young guns Two of Geelong brightest young stars have been recognised for their strong 2022 seasons with selection in the AFL Players’ Association 22Under22 team. Georgie Prespakis and Becky Webster were both voted in by fans, after four Cats made the initial squad of 40. Prespakis was named in the centreline, while Webster was named on a half-back flank. Prespakis impressed in her first year for Geelong, playing all 10 games over the course of the season. The number one pick in the draft averaged 13.3 disposals and 6.8 tackles and earned a NAB Rising Star nomination in round one against North Melbourne. She finished fourth in the Rising Star voting. For Webster, her selection means she becomes the first Cat to be picked for the team twice. The on-baller built on her breakthrough 2021 season with career-high averages of 16.8 disposals and 6.3 tackles per game. Webster was a standout in the Cats’ round five win over the Eagles, when she had a career-high 504 metres gained, as well as laying 11 tackles. Cats vice-captain Nina Morrison and boom recruit Chloe Scheer were also named in the initial 22Under22 squad of 40. The final team, decided by a fan vote, features players from 12 teams, with Brisbane and Gold Coast having the most representatives with three apiece. For a player to qualify for the 22Under22 squad, they must be 22 or under for the entirety of the AFLW season and have played at least 50 per cent of matches across the season.

Portarlington AFL draft By Ash Bolt A recently retired AFL star is set to pull on the blue and red of the Portarlington Football Netball Club this season. The club was announced last Friday as one of eight clubs across the state to take part in the Carlton Draft. The initiative by Carlton Draught will see the eight clubs each draft one of eight former AFL stars to play in one home game during the season. The players up for grabs in the draft, which will be held on April 27, include four-time premiership Hawk Jarryd Roughead, four-time goal of the year winner Eddie Betts, 2010 Collingwood premiership player Dale Thomas, recently retired Demon and 300-gamer Nathan Jones, two-time All Australian Brendon Goddard, 2017 Richmond premiership player and five-time All Australian Alex Rance, 407 game superstar and four-time premiership player Shaun Burgoyne and three-time premiership player and former Cats star Cameron Mooney.

This is a chance to showcase our club and get eyes on our club

’’

- Steve Cogger

Portarlington Football Netball Club was selected from more than 500 entries across the state and club president Steve Cogger it was really exciting for the club. “This is more than just the identity of the player and what they’ll do on the field for one game,” he said. “This is a chance to showcase our club and get eyes on our club. “We’re in a difficult spot in that you have to pass seven other clubs to get to Portarlington, but Portarlington is becoming a destination and we want to capitalise on that. “We’re grateful that we’ve been picked and we’re hopeful that no matter who we get in the draft, it gets some people down to see what a great club we are.” Cogger said he knew who he hoped to see the club select on draft day, but kept coy on

who that was. “We’ve spoken about it and overwhelmingly there was one player we would like, but we are more than happy to see any of them come down for a game,” he said. The Carlton Draft initiative was announced earlier this year to support grassroots football clubs that had struggled, particularly during the past few years. AFL Victoria head Ben Kavenagh the initiative would help spark interest in local football again following several disrupted years. “Community football is the lifeblood of our game and ensuring local clubs and leagues bounce back after two incredibly challenging years for grassroots sport in our state is a major focus in 2022,” he said. The other seven clubs selected were Campbells Creek Football Netball Club, Nhill and District Sporting Club, North Wangaratta Football Netball Club, Dalyston Football Netball Club, Branxholme Wallacedale Football Club, Longwood Football Netball Club and Gormandale Football Netball Club.

Bronze medal for beach volleyballer Geelong beach volleyballer Ellie-May Jury has claimed a bronze medal at the Australian Youth Beach Volleyball Championships in Queensland. Ellie-May was selected to represent Victoria in the under-15 girls competition at Coolangatta last week, and her team, which also included Ruby Smith, Jess Turner and Madera Famous, finished third. Playing in a torrential downpour that hit south-east Queensland for the first two days of the tournament, the Victorian team looked strong and dropped just one game in the group stage. Its sole loss in the groups came to the eventual gold medal team from Queensland, with the Victorians winning one set – one of just three the Queenslanders dropped all tournament. In the finals, the girls beat a South Australian team before dropping a very close semi-final to another Queensland team two sets to one. In a hard-fought third-place play-off the girls won two sets to one against Queensland’s fourth team to claim the bronze medal. Ellie-May was one of six Geelong beach volleyballers to compete at the championships. Both Hannah and Ella Mustovic finished in fifth place in the under-16 girls and under-18 girls respectively, while Olivia Jury finished 11th in under-17 girls, Noah Tucker finished 17th in under-17 boys and Maddie Randall finished 29th in under-17 girls. Vic Beach Geelong coach Greg Jury said it was an impressive result for the local juniors, who faced conditions they weren’t used to. “It was very tough conditions – there was a torrential downpour for the first two days and in beach volleyball you play through that unless there’s lightning,” he said. “Being from Victoria, they were used to the wind but that heavy rain was something they hadn’t experienced before and it is a challenge – the ball get heavy and serving becomes a real challenge. “They all took the challenge on and put in a great effort across the week. “The Victorian team as a whole, and our teams, did exceptionally well.”

Kingfish on the bite in bay ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos The local fishing has still proven to be quite good over the past week with reports coming from all over the region. The inner harbour of Corio Bay has still been having yellow tail kingfish reports come through with anglers picking them up as bycatch fishing for other species – chicken breast is yet again doing the damage. St Helen’s Rocks has been the most popular spot with reports of anglers picking up multiple kings up to 80cm. There is still plenty of ‘targeted’ species being picked up such as pinky snapper and flathead. The outer harbour right through to Queenscliff is still continuing to produce some fantastic squid and whiting fishing and this is a great time a year for both species. The squid have been holding in about three metres of water with red jigs working well and the whiting have been sitting out a little bit deeper with the outgoing tide proving the standout time to fish. Offshore has remained a shark zone this past week with mako sharks still being caught anywhere between 50-70 metres right along the coast. Drifting with a solid steady burley trail with a few baits under balloons has been working a treat. Anglers dropping bottom rigs have been picking up plenty of tasty bottom species such as pinky snapper, tiger flathead and gummy sharks. Yellow tail kingfish have been chewing well offshore this past week, jigging has been a standout tactic when the fish have been marked on and around the reef structure out there. On the warmer days the fish can be seen cruising the surface and casting lures into them is an effective and extremely fun way to catch them. Bluefin tuna reports have slowed a little more out there but boats are still sighting them and the odd few are also getting a few on the deck too. Wurdi Buloc Reservoir has been fishing very well over the past few weeks with reports of trout and redfin biting quite well on the rock walls and should only get better as the cooler months roll in. Anglers casting shallow diving jerk baits have been working an absolute treat for the trout and the redfin have been responding well to spoon lures as they allow you to cover a large amount of water.
