Charity needs new home By Justin Flynn A Geelong charity that has been feeding the homeless for 32 years has been given months to find a new home or face permanent closure. The Outpost provides a hot meal, access to clothing and personal hygiene items, and even food for pets of the homeless, 365 days a year. The landlord, which wants to sell its Transit Place location in the CBD, had initially given The Outpost a date of June 2022 to move out, but has extended the deadline to December. However the not-for-profit charity is having trouble finding a suitable location.

NEW UST J GE ED A T S EAS L E R

The Outpost, led by a volunteer committee of management and staffed exclusively by volunteers, is run on a shoestring budget relying on cash and donations, including access to its current location. Throughout its history, it has been one of a handful of charities providing community services in the evenings, on weekends and over public holidays. The Outpost president Raema Ash said the threat of permanent closure was very real. “Even a garage or shed within the city limits [would do],” she said. “We have plumbers and builders to help us

redesign something if we need to. It would have to be for very little, or no, rent. “We haven’t come across anything as of yet. The urgency of it is getting quite real. We are trying to let the community know.” Ms Ash said The Outpost is visited by people from suburbs including Corio, Whittington and Newcomb, so the new premises needed to be centrally located and near public transport, but not within a residential neighbourhood. “We get about 10 people in for the lunches and about 20 at night for meals,” she said. “It’s more of a social group. A lot of people when they are homeless, they don’t talk to

anybody and nobody talks to them. We hope to try and get something within the city limits. “It can be any empty shop front. It doesn’t have to be perfect. “There are no referrals to access The Outpost – people can just turn up. “Whoever presents for a meal we serve. We know there are limited options if you need help in the evenings and especially on the weekends – hunger doesn’t know what time it is.” Community members with suggestions or access to suitable locations are invited to contact Amy Flint at theoutpostgeelong@ gmail.com.

Help for Geelong’s homeless A new social housing project is hoped to provide sustainable, long-term solutions for older Victorians in the Geelong area who are facing homelessness. Consumer Affairs Minister Melissa Horne recently visited the project’s Highton site to formally announce a $6.5 million state government investment to build accommodation for vulnerable Victorians, $750,000 of which was contributed by Homes Victoria.

The Victorian Property Fund (VPF) will fund the construction of 22 one-bedroom units equipped with wheelchair access and specialised hard finishes, making them functional for residents with limited mobility. The grant will be provided to Wintringham Housing Ltd (WH), a not-for-profit community housing organisation and Registered Housing Association (RHA). WH specialises in providing safe and affordable

housing to men and women over 50 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness through an integrated service approach that includes outreach, housing, in-home aged care, and residential aged care. “All Victorians deserve access to affordable housing that is fit for purpose and meets their needs – this accommodation provides a secure and long-term home for those in the Geelong area who need it most,” Ms Horne said. The units will be cost-effective for residents

as they will be equipped with a 7.5-star energy rating standard, with solar panels, heat recovery systems, solar-boosted energy efficient hot water systems, insulation, draught proofing, and double glazing. Additionally, the rent for residents of the new project will be set at 25 per cent of their income plus Commonwealth Rental Assistance. Construction on the project is set to commence in late 2022, with residents able to move in by early 2024.

Shire calls for investigation

‘Unique’ playground feedback sought The City of Greater Geelong is inviting the community to provide feedback on the detailed design of the Rippleside Inclusive Playspace. Replacing the current Rippleside Park Playground in Bell Parade, the Rippleside Inclusive Playspace will provide a unique playground environment for people of all ages and abilities, the city said. Extensive consultation through 2019 and 2020 pointed to the importance of natural green space, shade, multi-aged experiences, toilet location, cleanliness and nature play as priorities for the project. The city has also engaged a broad range of community members in the concept design, including children and families with lived experience of a disability, along with local school children and residents. The major playground project has received financial support from all levels of government. The city was also successful in obtaining a $110,000 grant through the Victorian

government’s Changing Places Funding Round in 2021. The city has partnered with the Touched By Olivia Foundation (and previously Variety – the Children’s Charity) to deliver this exciting project and will join a network of play spaces known as Livvi’s Place. The playspace aims to provide a safe facility, while offering a broad choice of activities and types of play. Cr Anthony Aitken, chair of the access and inclusion advisory committee, said the concept and design elements of this regionally significant project had been driven by council’s committee and strongly supported by members of the disability community. The project will include the upgrade of park amenities such as the toilet block (including a Changing Places facility), connecting path to the Bay Trail, accessible car parking spaces, additional seating and picnic facilities on the outside of the fenced playspace.

Touched By Olivia’s head of inclusive play Kim Becherand said children, families and broader community voices led the design of the space. “Rippleside is such a beautiful part of Geelong, known and loved by many locals,” Ms Becherand said. “When we shared the vision to create a Livvi’s Place here where everyone would feel safe, welcome and that they belong, the engagement and support was overwhelming. “Engagement told us to make Livvi’s Place Rippleside, somewhere for all locals and visitors to enjoy together; where everyone will play often, play together, make friends and develop community connections.” The current stage of engagement is the third and final round of engagement before the city proceeds to construction. A Have Your Say Page (yoursay. geelongaustralia.com.au/RSIPS) is open, inviting input from the wider community until Sunday, July 17.

Surf Coast Shire Council is calling for “urgent investigation” into the health of Anglesea River. Council has noted community concerns about the health of the waterway and will investigate the impacts of historic and current groundwater extraction, land use and climate change on its catchment. Council will call for hydrogeological modelling to properly explain the interaction between surface and groundwater in the catchment. It will not support groundwater extraction unless it is proven to have no detrimental impact on the river and/or its catchment. The calls will be included in council’s formal submission to Southern Rural Water in response to an Alcoa application for a six-month extension of its trial pumping groundwater from the Upper Eastern View Formation aquifer below the catchment. The pumping trial extension would take extraction through to March 2023. Alcoa is using the water to partially fill the void left by its former Anglesea coal mine. Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning data shows Anglesea River flows have dropped to about 10 per cent of long-term averages, despite normal or higher rainfall years. Its water is constantly acidic, devoid of fish and there has been a dramatic increase in mosquito larvae. Anglesea Ward councillor Mike Bodsworth said: “We need a more comprehensive picture of the factors influencing the river’s decline before important decisions are made about the use of water in the catchment. This is a complex issue and we need expert analysis of the impact of historical groundwater extraction”.

CALD community introduced to First Nations culture Members of the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) community have been introduced to First Nations culture in Geelong this week. The City of Greater Geelong marked NAIDOC Week by joining forces with local community-based organisations, including Cultura (formerly Diversitat), to give visiting children the experience. The city’s children’s events team facilitated the visit to Narana Aboriginal Cultural Centre in Armstrong Creek, which saw children and adults from a variety of ethnicities taken through the native garden to learn about traditional medicines and bush tucker, have a try at boomerang throwing and feed native Australian animals. A morning tea of cultural treats followed a 2 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 8 July, 2022

said NAIDOC Week provided the perfect opportunity for newly arrived families to experience First Nations culture. “We all know the pandemic of the past two and half years has limited social engagement and now that things are returning to normal it’s important that we help all members of the community to connect,” he said. “NAIDOC Week, as a period of recognition and celebration of our First Nations community, is the ideal time to help families who have arrived in recent years to connect and learn about Indigenous Australian culture.” With a variety of nationalities represented among attendees, Arabic and Dari speaking bi-lingual workers were present to maximise the opportunity for understanding. Aboriginal affairs portfolio deputy chair,

councillor Sarah Mansfield, said the event also presented an opportunity to reduce isolation and educate new community members about important support services on offer. “Along with the opportunity to understand more of Australia’s rich First Nations heritage, these types of events are ideal for supporting families with a view to building community connections and strengthening networks,” she said. “Those in attendance were provided with information around some of the services and supports that the City of Greater Geelong can offer, including information about playgroups and parenting courses. “Hopefully this initial connection can be the starting point to learning about further early-years services, along with sparking an appreciation for our own nation’s heritage.”

Cutter resigns as council chief City of Greater Geelong chief executive Martin Cutter has announced his resignation. Mr Cutter will step down from the role at the end of September after starting the role in June 2018 following an executive career across the public and private sectors, including more than 18 years in local government. “I’m incredibly proud of what we have achieved at the Ccty over the past four years and my role, while complex, has been incredibly rewarding,” Mr Cutter said.

“I’d like to thank and acknowledge the councillor group, the executive leadership team, the employees and volunteers who have continually demonstrated their passion and commitment to the organisation and the community. “I’d like to recognise the support and leadership I have received from those who have led the Council during my time as CEO, including Cr Bruce Harwood, Cr Stephanie Asher, Cr Trent Sullivan and Cr Peter Murrihy.

“I feel that now is the right time for both the organisation and for me personally to step down. I’m now in a time in my life where I can turn to focus on personal pursuits. “I’m looking forward to spending time with my wife Fiona, our two dogs and our two boys, who are both based overseas.” Mayor Peter Murrihy thanked Mr Cutter for his service. “Martin is a respected leader and it has been a pleasure to work closely with him over

Bob McGovan Path lighting upgrades A $92,000 City of Greater Geelong-funded project has resulted in a lighting upgrade on the Bob McGovan Path. The project has created an improved experience for community members travelling alongside Geelong’s Western Beach, the city said. The shared path received 51 streetlights, replaced with new poles and brighter, more energy efficient and longer lasting LEDs. The Bob McGovan Path runs along the Geelong Waterfront from the Western Beach Boat Club to Rippleside Park. Mayor Peter Murrihy said the lighting upgrade would benefit active transport users – including walkers, runners and cyclists – for many years to come. “The path is highly popular with both locals and visitors, forming a key part of our iconic waterfront,” Cr Murrihy said. “The new light poles look outstanding and the LED lights have made the path more appealing to travel on at night.” Cr Eddy Kontelj, of Brownbill Ward, said the lighting upgrade had been funded by council in response to community requests and would bring benefits on several fronts. “The lights are now much brighter and more efficient, meaning this project is great for community safety but also helps the council work towards its environmental and economic sustainability aims,” Cr Kontelj said. The city is progressively switching all of Greater Geelong’s 25,000 streetlights to LEDs, which are around 85 per cent more efficient than traditional streetlights. This is a key action in the Council’s Climate Change Response Plan, which sets a target of reaching net zero emissions in the city’s operations by 2025.

the past four years due to his straightforward nature, ability to form positive working relationships and his clear communication style,” he said. “It is fitting that Martin will welcome the organisation into our new building, Wurriki Nyal, before he ends his time at the city. “An executive search will begin shortly to select a new CEO. A decision will be made by council on the outcome of this process in the coming months.”

Council to apply for state grants Surf Coast Shire Council will apply for state government funding grants to help deliver four key projects, which it says will deliver wide-ranging community benefits. Council will apply for grants from: The Growing Suburbs Fund 2022-2023 • $5 million for the Surf Coast Cultural Centre; and • $330,000 for Barwon River Loop Walk stage two. The Local Sports Infrastructure Fund 2022 • $1 million for Spring Creek Pavilion female friendly upgrade; and • $2.5 million for the Surf Coast Aquatic and Health Centre additional warm water pool. The Living Libraries Infrastructure Program • $1 million for the Surf Coast Cultural Centre stage one The Surf Coast Cultural Centre is one of council’s top-tier strategic advocacy projects and includes an expanded library, a new Visitor Information Centre and a more expansive Australian National Surfing Museum at the existing site at Beach Road, Torquay. These elements comprise stage one of the project and have an estimated total cost of $36.8 million. Stage two of the Barwon River Loop Walk, priced at $660,000, would see the completion of the two-kilometre walk linking the town’s four quadrants and features along the Barwon River. The Surf Coast Aquatic and Health Centre, to be located in Torquay, is planned to include a 25-metre seasonal outdoor pool, two indoor warm water pools (for learn to swim, leisure activities and hydrotherapy), gym, multi-purpose program rooms, allied health suites and community meeting spaces.

$1m reward offered for information on Tascas cold case Pamela Tascas has a recurring nightmare where her son Trevor calls out to her, but as she responds, he gets further away. “I wonder now, on the last day of his life, did he think of me before he closed his eyes?” she said. “Did he think, ‘Mum, I need you now’?” Trevor Tascas disappeared 16 years ago and police firmly believe he was killed. On Tuesday, they put up a $1 million reward for information leading to those responsible. Mr Tascas’ Geelong roommate Lawrence Butler was charged with his murder and in 2009 was sentenced to 23 years in prison. However, his conviction was quashed on appeal two years later and, in 2013, he was retried for manslaughter and found not guilty. Mr Butler’s girlfriend Jodi Harris was sentenced to three years’ jail after pleading guilty in 2009 to being an accessory to

manslaughter and obtaining property by deception. Police say their investigation is open to different lines of inquiry and they require new information to take the case forward. “In 16 years, friendships change, allegiances

change, new friends come on the scene (and) people learn things,” Detective Acting Inspector Tony Combridge said. No one had been ruled out of the investigation, including the two people originally charged, he said. Through tears on Tuesday, Ms Tascas begged for someone to come forward. She had been stuck in a time warp since 2005, she said. “It breaks my heart to think someone’s out there living a lie,” she said. Mr Tascas went missing between October 7 and 10, 2005. He was 27 and living on Thatcher Court at Whittington in Geelong. He had sporadic contact with his family at the time, but his mother became increasingly concerned when she did not hear from him for weeks, reporting him missing on April 1, 2006. Investigators believe Mr Tascas had a dispute with his roommate before he disappeared and,

afterwards, a number of his possessions were sold and his dog was given away. His bank account showed a number of withdrawals in July and August 2006, but they weren’t made by Mr Tascas. His phone was last used on October 7, 2005. Ms Tascas described her son as a cheeky boy who loved his younger sisters Kirsty and Leanne, but was often in trouble at school and with the police. He was the joy of her life, who ended up on the wrong side of the tracks. On Tuesday, she pulled out a small, red cardboard box containing photos of Trevor. She has a dollar note he kept as a souvenir as well as a lock of hair from when he was a baby. “This is all I have of Trevor,” Ms Tascas said. “His whole life’s in this box.” Cassandra Morgan, AAP Friday, 8 July, 2022 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 3

Feedback to shape growth plan Development of a plan guiding future growth and development in Moriac will proceed, informed by strong input from community members. Surf Coast Shire Council said it was preparing a new Moriac Structure Plan, and extensive community engagement has helped shape its guiding principles. At its June meeting council noted a Moriac Structure Plan Community Engagement Summary Report 2022, and officers will commence the development of a Draft Moriac Structure Plan. It will be presented at a future council meeting for endorsement before being released for public exhibition. Guiding principles to emerge from

community engagement were: • Preserve and enhance Moriac’s natural environments and surrounding rural hinterland; • Protect rural areas from impacts associated with housing developments; • Open space areas will continue to play in an important role in defining Moriac’s character and liveability; • Future land use and development decisions will prioritise the needs of pedestrians and cyclists to create a safer built environment through improved accessibility and connectivity; • Future growth must consider impacts on service infrastructure and, where required, contribute to infrastructure improvements;

• Land use planning decisions should consider the housing and transport needs of an age diverse population; and • Future residential growth will be incremental in scale and incorporate elements of Environmentally Sustainable Design. Cr Heather Wellington said participation during community consultation on the plan demonstrated how much people value the township and what it offers. “It is important that we develop a plan that supports and complements community aspirations, and the broad community response during engagement activities has provided a great platform,” Cr Wellington said. “Some themes resonated strongly around preserving Moriac’s small-town character,

Beanies for diabetes nets 3000 sales A Geelong-founded charity that supports those diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes has sold about 3000 of its popular beanies, but wants your help to sell more. National Diabetes Week runs from July 10 to 16. Type 1 Foundation chief executive Ange Liston-Mccaughley said the charity has grown from a one-person operation to now having branches in the Hunter region, Ballarat, Melbourne and Brisbane, with a branch to open in Sydney soon. Ange said the organisation wants to sell 5000 beanies to help those living with Type 1 diabetes. Ange has been raising diabetes awareness and funds to support people with the disease since her daughter Lila’s diagnosis in 2013. Like many children with diabetes, Lila’s condition was initially misdiagnosed before her family went on holiday. But her condition worsened on the vacation before Ange called an ambulance to take her to Gold Coast University Hospital. Doctors later said Lila had been an hour away from going into a coma. Type 1 Foundation is celebrating its seventh birthday and has grown markedly. Ange said there had been a spike in Type 1 diabetes diagnoses recently. “I think there are a lot more autoimmune diseases around and Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease,” she said. “During COVID, we were all stuck at home and we never really got sick. “Now that we are kind of back to normal, our immune systems are lower.” The organisation hosts all kinds of fun events, including a superhero day at Movie World next week, a mums’ dinner in Sydney, a gala ball in Geelong and Camp Koala in Queenscliff.

Geelong shoppers excel for MND Waurn Ponds and Leopold shoppers have led the charge, not just in Geelong, but across Australia in the Fight MND’s Big Freeze 8 campaign. Both suburbs’ Coles supermarkets finished in the top eight fundraising stores nationally, with more than $48,000 and $47,000 raised respectively. Shoppers in the Greater Geelong and Surf Coast region raised more than $362,000 in just six weeks to help find a cure for Motor Neurone Disease (MND). The unprecedented funds raised by local shoppers contributed to a record $8.6 million raised nationally by Coles for FightMND to help take their Big Freeze 8 tally to $19.8 million. Coles regional manager Janelle Donovan said the FightMND cause continues to resonate strongly with the Geelong and Surf Coast communities. “The enthusiasm from our customers and team members to support FightMND grows every year and we’re incredibly proud to have raised over $362,000 across the region for this worthy cause,” she said. “It was inspiring to see our team members and customers wear the beanies with such pride, knowing that they were helping to raise much-needed awareness and funds to help find a cure for this debilitating disease. “Last year our region raised over $240,000, and we have well and truly broken that thanks to the generosity of our customers.”

Pronounced Be-al-a, Biyal-a means ‘a place of many red gums’. The third facility, the Drysdale Library would be known as Boronggook Drysdale Library, as Boronggook is the Wadawurrung name for the immediate Drysdale locality and refers to ‘turf’. Greater Geelong mayor Peter Murrihy explained how the proposed names were assigned to the new developments. “The city undertook a detailed engagement process with the Wadawurrung Traditional

Owners Aboriginal Corporation in the suggested naming of the buildings,” Cr Murrihy said. “The city also worked with the Geelong Regional Library Corporation when it came to proposing the names for both the Armstrong Creek and Drysdale libraries. “The names put forward for all three facilities reflect something of the Aboriginal history and culture of each area in which they’re located.” The Community Hub is scheduled for completion in March 2023, the Drysdale Library in early 2023 and the Biyal-a Armstrong Creek Library in early 2024.

Jones game a drawcard By Justin Flynn Portarlington Football Netball Club is expecting at least 2000 spectators to attend this weekend’s Bellarine Football League clash against Ocean Grove and a large percentage of them are going along for one reason. Former Melbourne captain and 306-game player Nathan Jones is pulling on the boots for the Demons as part of Carlton Draft – a Carlton United Breweries and Foxtel initiative to boost community clubs off the back of COVID-interrupted seasons. Portarlington selected Jones with the first pick in the draft primarily because his one-off appearance will see him pulling on the red and blue once again. Portarlington plays in Melbourne’s traditional blue jumper with a red yoke. Portarlington president Steve Cogger said the club is looking forward to welcoming the former Dees midfielder to the playing group and the town. “What was a game of footy is now a community event,” he said. “The community has gotten behind us. The Lions Club are helping with car parking, the cricket club is helping with the gate. “Foxtel and Carlton Draught tell us we should expect 10 times our normal gate and that would give us 4000 people. I reckon if we got half that we’d be doing pretty well.” Mr Cogger said he has had inquiries from people who have no affiliation with the Bellarine Football League or Portarlington. “I had a person from Geelong who wanted to pre-purchase a ticket and she asked if there will be car parking available,” he said. “I asked her why she was coming and she said she had barracked for Melbourne all her life and loves Nathan Jones and they have 10 families coming.”

Mr Cogger said the club would make about $15,000 from the event and that the young, but winless, Port side was “quite nervous” about it. “It’s an experience for our guys and we are a very young side,” he said. “We’ve had a tough year but to run out onto the ground with someone like him it will be an opportunity for them to learn something. “We’re investing in our juniors and our

junior program to get ourselves out of the situation we’re in. “We’re a proud community club. We’re not just a footy club in the country, we want to represent our community with pride.” Mr Cogger said Portarlington’s opponent for the round, Ocean Grove, had been supportive and the communication from Foxtel had been “almost daily”.

Hubs aid mental health

12556708-SN26-22

Mental Health and Wellbeing Hubs designed to fast track mental health support in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, have responded to more than 1600 Victorians’ seeking support in just seven months. New data shows that the 13 Mental Health and Wellbeing Hubs, including North Geelong’s Ermha365 hub, managed by Mind Australia, have been highly successful in reducing psychological distress in clients across Victoria. Mind mental health practitioners have responded to hub clients struggling with their mental health for a variety of reasons, including: • Small business owners struggling with the psychological fallout of losing their business; • Housing shortages exacerbated in regional areas by the influx of residents relocating from

Melbourne during the pandemic; and • People with longstanding mental health issues whose recovery went into ‘hibernation’ during lockdown. These people are now emerging, struggling with isolation, depression, anxiety, lack of purpose and loss of a support structure. “The hubs have been a fantastic opportunity for us to gain deep knowledge about the particular mental health and wellbeing stressors and needs of different regions and communities across Victoria,” Mind chief executive Gill Callister said. “The Victorian government is to be commended for recognising the value of this service in providing the community with fast and flexible support. Accessible community-based support like this can make all the difference in helping people address problems before they reach crisis point and hospitalisation.”

Water prices to remain steady Barwon Water will keep price adjustments to less than the Consumer Price Index (CPI) this year, it announced this week. Barwon Water said its prices will remain some of the lowest in Australia for similar sized water corporations for the next six years, with annual adjustments only made in relation to CPI. The adjustments are in line with its commitment to customers in its 2018-23 price submission, which was approved by the Victorian Essential Services Commission. “Our ongoing investment in delivering our essential water and sewerage services is going to be made in a way that meets the challenges of climate change, population growth, rapid technological development, and a transitioning economy,” Barwon Water managing director Tracey Slatter said. “Since 2017, our aim has been to enable regional prosperity through the affordable, innovative, strategic delivery of our water and sewerage services.” Ms Slatter said while CPI is 5.1 per cent this year, average owner-occupiers using 160kL per year will see an increase of less than CPI of 4% per cent in their annual bill from July 1, which translates to an additional $3.49 per month for owner-occupiers and $1.27 per month for renters. “Despite the price changes, Barwon Water customers’ bills remain among the lowest in Australia for similar-sized water corporations; 2022-23 bills for residential owner occupiers are 18 per cent lower than in real terms 10 years ago,” Ms Slatter said.

In addition to announcing the price adjustments for the next financial year, Ms Slatter said Barwon Water’s said the company’s commitment to affordable bills, water security and improving the environment would be on display in its next five-year pricing plan – the 2023-28 price submission – a draft of which has been released for community feedback. “We are looking forward to continuing the genuine community collaboration and engagement that has been a hallmark of the water corporation’s approach over the past five years,” she said. “We are seeking feedback on our customer proposal to keep future prices stable, fair and low for the next five-year pricing period beginning July 1, 2023, in which prices will remain flat in real terms for the majority of customers. “In developing the proposed customer promise, prices and services, we have considered customer affordability, operating costs, new infrastructure requirements, current and future challenges, service levels and feedback gathered from customers over the past five years. “We know our customers want high quality services at affordable prices and we are fully committed to keeping prices stable, supporting our customers who need it the most and making investments for the future.” Customers are invited to provide feedback on the 2023-2028 price submission via an online survey, yoursay.barwonwater.vic.gov.au/ deliveringthefuture, which is open until July 29.

Skin check day a boon Torquay Lions Club held a successful free skin check day on July 1 and 2. President Colin Bellis was delighted that many local residents took up the opportunity for a free skin check at Wurdi Baierr Stadium, Torquay. “When I visited the Lions Skin Check and Awareness Mobile Unit on its first day of operation in Torquay, a number of people had already been advised to make a potentially life-saving appointment with their GP by having a thorough follow up,” he said. “We all need to be concerned about skin cancer, and anyone showing signs of skin changes should have them checked by health professionals. “Our Lions Mobile Unit is hard-pressed to meet the need in regional Victoria, but we

are aiming to bring the mobile unit back to Torquay as soon as we are able.” Locals who attended appointments were checked by trained and certificated volunteers. The Lions team pointed out that many people told them it was a wonderful initiative. “It’s been great to provide people with valuable and timely data about skin care and self-checking techniques,” Mr Bellis said. “Just having the Unit here in Torquay has helped raise the community’s awareness. “It is well-known Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. “Lions Clubs in Victoria and Southern NSW are working hard to reduce that level and its impact on families, but everyone on the Surf Coast needs to take action.”

CREATING A CLEVER AND CREATIVE FUTURE FOR GREATER GEELONG

CITYNEWS CARING FOR YOUR FELINE FRIEND Do you want to improve the health of your cat and protect our environment at the same time?

All cats in Greater Geelong are required to be desexed prior to being registered for the ﬁrst time.

Desexing is an important part of responsible pet ownership and caring for your cat. It also helps reduce the number of unwanted and stray cats in our region.

This month is Desex July and we’ve partnered with local vets and Geelong Animal Welfare Society (GAWS) to offer the common procedure at a heavily reduced rate for residents who hold a pension card, senior card, health care card or student card.

Beneﬁts of desexing include improved health and longer lifespan, reduction of problematic behaviours, such as spraying, roaming and ﬁghting with other cats, prevention of unwanted litters and reduction of stray and feral cats spreading disease, threatening native animals and damaging the environment.

Uncle Syd headlines NAIDOC Week MacKillop Family Services celebrated NAIDOC Week at its Geelong office with a lunch attended by Australian Football Legend, Uncle Syd Jackson, and young people who spoke about the importance of connection to culture while in out of home care. Mr Jackson has been tireless in his work with young people in care. He has recently taken part in a bush tucker bake off with young people across residential care homes and in foster care with MacKillop Family Services. He is an Elder and advocate for young people in care. “This year’s theme for NAIODOC Week is ‘Get Up! Stand up! Show Up! We all must continue to Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up!’ for systemic change and keep rallying around our mob, our Elders, our communities,” MacKillop Family Services chief executive, Dr Robyn Miller, said. “For MacKillop, this is particularly important in Barwon, where so many young people in out of home care are from an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background. “We understand the importance of cultural connection and we are currently working on our Second Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan which will help ensure our work is culturally safe across MacKillop. “One of the most important things we can do is listen to the voice of children and young people, and today we have a real treat with the opportunity to hear from a recent care leaver about the importance of cultural connection as well as reflecting on the experience of Australian Football legend, Uncle Syd Jackson, who is here to tell us about his work advocating for young people in care”. Lunch was provided by Indigenous-owned and run caterer, Mabu Mabu. Guests included Geelong MP Christine Couzens representatives from Wathaurong, and the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing, as well as staff and foster carers from MacKillop Family Services.

Those starting or growing a business are being encouraged to take advantage of a range of free and low-cost events on offer at this year’s festival, which runs for all of August.

They’ve made enormous sacrifices to keep Geelong going and we want to acknowledge their hard work, effort and resilience.” The festival will be launched at The Pier with adventurer, award-winning documentary-maker, television presenter, and businessman Todd Sampson, titled ‘Boost your brain power’.

Lara club in local hands Geelong’s Spence Constructions has been appointed builder of developer Villawood Properties’ new $7.6 million Club Coridale at Lara. The resort-style ClarkeHopkinsClarkedesigned club will feature a cafe, swimming pool, gym, sport courts, family and function areas. Across the Victorian economy, the club’s 12-month construction could generate about 70 direct and indirect jobs in construction and other industries. The construction of the club is also forecast to inject around $9 million into the economy, Villawood said. Villawood said the broader end-to-end 1100-home Coridale project could inject over $360 million plus into the economy while generating over 2700 direct and indirect jobs over the anticipated seven-year development life. Villawood Properties executive director Rory Costelloe said the new club offered greater amenity and capital growth for Coridale buyers, as evidenced already at the developer’s

Armstrong Mount Duneed community south of Geelong, also built by Spence, and opened in 2016. “Lara’s got some great infrastructure and, in the past, has developed some communities with lots of water features and other amenities,” Mr Costelloe said. “But Club Coridale will really lift standards in Lara to a whole new level.” Spence Constructions director Glenn McVilly said the resort club was “quite a major project” for the Geelong region. “We’ve got 25 separate sub-contracting companies in the project plus us as head contractor,” he said. “If you said three or four jobs in each of those, there’s probably going to be 75 to 100 ongoing jobs on site. Then there’s admin staff for each contract company, a couple more to each company, so the figure could be 125 to 150. “Then there are direct supply chains as well, so it’s quite a major project for the region, absolutely.”

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

The Guide THE SPLIT ABC TV, Saturday, 8.20pm

Secret ingredients: MasterChef Australia judges Melissa Leong, Andy Allen and Jock Zonfrillo.

Everyone is marinating in some shade of melancholy in this piquant British legal drama. Fancy clothes and luxurious homes are the tantalising polish in this tale about a clan of divorce lawyers who can’t seem to clasp onto contentment. We’re halfway through the third and final season and wondering how proceedings will wrap up. As Hannah and Nathan (Nicola Walker and Stephen Mangan, both pictured) struggle to extricate their shared lives, former flame Christie (Barry Atsma) arrives in town. JULIA ZEMIRO’S HOME DELIVERY ABC TV, Sunday, 7.40pm

After a decade of hanging out with well-known guests as they share the pivotal places and moments in their lives, this time host Julia Zemiro shares her own past with viewers. What’s more, she reminisces with four of her entertaining and thoughtful friends: Gardening Australia’s Costa Georgiadis (pictured with Zemiro), satirist Mark Humphries, comedian Judith Lucy and entertainer Justine Clarke. It’s a characteristically playful but highly emotional farewell. EMERGENCY Nine, Monday, 9.40pm

PICK OF THE WEEK MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA 10, Tuesday, 7.30pm

After 14 seasons of MasterChef Australia, there is one person who commands a deity-like rapture. In tonight’s season finale, with two cooks left standing eyeing the $250,000 cash prize, British chef Heston Blumenthal is back to issue one of the evening’s two challenges. After round one gives the finalists 75 minutes to cook a sweet and savoury dish that impresses judges Jock Zonfrillo, Andy Allen and Melissa Leong, Blumenthal makes his return to the kitchen. Having waxed lyrical on egg and bacon ice cream through video link during the pandemic, he’s within ovens’ reach this year, with a sublimely delicate taffety tart on the menu.

The anxiety of witnessing some of the terrible accidents and situations in this series is thankfully tempered by the humanity, kindness and infinite goodwill of the medical professionals who try to take the chaos and uncertainty in their strides. Returning with a third season, Emergency goes behind the scenes at Royal Melbourne Hospital. Tonight, a young man who is “comfortably numb” is examined by Dr Emma West (pictued), and a motorbike rider is in danger of losing his foot after a shocking crash.

FRIDAY FEATURE GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

From Barwon Heads to Italy Barwon Heads artist Alison Fincher was chosen to exhibit at the prestigious FabrianoInAcquarello in Italy. She speaks with Justin Flynn about her journey.

lison Fincher’s Barwon Heads studio is impressive. At her roomy, light-filled home, watercolours adorn the walls and tell many stories. Her painting ‘Tidewater’ featured in the prestigious Italian FabrianoInAcquarello exhibition, albeit electronically. “It happens in May and June each year,” Alison says. “The Australian Muster calls for contributions from watercolour artists and the one I did called ‘Tidewater’ was nominated last year as one of the 30 best that they pick out of many entries. “They nominate them to go to Italy for the Fabriono, the Italian exhibit. “The past couple of years they have done that physically but this year it’s had to be digital because with COVID and all the turbulence in Europe, they couldn’t send them over physically this year because they have had a backlog in getting the last two years’ paintings back to Australia. They didn’t want to compound the issue so they did it digitally this year.” Much of Alison’s inspiration comes from the local land and seascapes.

‘‘

We get some fabulous skies in Barwon Heads which are really great for watercolour painting

’’

- Alison Fincher “I often ride my bike around Barwon Heads and if you go along Carr Street, there’s a couple of places that you can walk through to the river, for example, at the end of Geelong Road,” she says. “Often you get amazing light effects because we get some fabulous skies in Barwon Heads which are really great for watercolour painting. “Sometimes depending on the time of day and the nature of the weather, you get amazing light off the water.” Alison was born in Boort, a small town in northern Victoria. “Most people don’t know where Boort is,” she says. She grew up in country Victoria, but has had a lifetime connection to the Bellarine Peninsula, coming here for holidays most years and her parents live in the town. She moved to Barwon Heads with husband Leo a few years ago. She was always artistic as a kid. “I always liked painting and drawing as a child,” she says. “That came from a more academic family and my father was a skilled amateur photographer, but it was more as a hobby. “When I finished school I studied design and wanted to do something more arty so I did more painting and drawing, but it’s been intermittent as life came along and then a professional career. “In more recent years, probably in the last 10 years, I’ve been able to get back into it and in the last few years I’m pretty much full time which is quite exciting.” She is now a renowned artist, but self-effacingly says she still doesn’t know whether she is any good. “I don’t know whether I’ve realised I’m any good to be honest,” she says. “You’re always evolving. I guess I could always draw otherwise I would never have undertaken studies in the arts or design field. “It’s like anything, the more you do, the more you realise you don’t know and the more there is to learn.” Alison says you don’t need to look at things a certain way to be an artist or even appreciate it. “I think everyone sees things through their own filter and you see that with the choices that people make,” she says. 18 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 8 July, 2022

“Sometimes I think ‘why did you choose that one to buy?’, but people will often choose something that means more to them for a particular reason and not just purely for the aesthetics. “So with a sunflower painting, somebody might look at that and think it’s a lovely picture because they have family in Ukraine so it will have an additional meaning.” Alison is looking forward to being a part of the Bellarine Arts Trail this year and thinks it is a wonderful opportunity for people to travel around the peninsula and appreciate different artists in one day. “It’s such a nice event that people can go to to look at all different sorts of work,” she says.

“It’s great having it all available on one day because it makes it worth coming down to the Bellarine to have a look.” Alison hopes to do more portrait art in the future, but will always find the time to immerse herself in the outdoors. “I find certain landscapes really moving,” she says. “I think that makes me want to record it in some way. I go up to Falls Creek every year and it’s so beautiful up there. Every single year when I’m standing at the top of the summit and it’s a beautiful day I get my phone out and take photos. “It’s ridiculous because I take 100 photos every year, but I can’t help it. It’s so amazingly beautiful and it’s a bit like that down here. The

light across the mouth of the river here just this side of the bridge at certain times of day or certain kinds of weather you get a shaft of light coming through an amazing sky, you just can’t help but stop and do something about it. “Painting water is a challenge. You keep on doing it and doing it to try and to capture that it’s often about the light and where the light is. What you want to reflect in the painting is that light and energy and creating a painting isn’t copying a photo or a scene, it’s taking that and manipulating it to convey that to the viewer and often you have to exaggerate things and diminish others in order to get that across.” Go to alisonfincher.com.au to find out more about Alison’s art.

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

The automotive specialists you can count on Three enterprising experts in their field got together 15 years ago, opening the first of three side-by-side vehicle workshops in Geelong West, each catering to its specific European or British models. The newest workshop operates under the banner of Geelong West Automotive. This one specialises in Volvo, Peugeot, Renault, Citroen and Skoda. The German Automotive workshop is the Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Volkswagen specialist. And the other, Hunter Cuthill, is all about Landrover, BMW and Mini Cooper. Current owners Adam Hunter, Ben Buckle,

Mark Goodear and Adam Dres bring a combination of nearly 100 years’ experience working on all the major Euro brands – the sort of expertise highly valued by the drivers of out-of-the-ordinary vehicles. All manner of mechanical, auto electrical and tyre replacement work is carried out by the high-tech workshops. Dealer-level diagnostic, repair and maintenance work are also on board, as is log book servicing that retains new car warranty. Ben says that the crews are well-equipped to look after just about everything needed to keep a car in tip-top shape, right from driving it new off the lot through to its senior years.

“Not only do we have the world’s leading independent diagnostic software, but also all our technicians have received specific training on each brand,” explains Ben. “As well, we have all the special tools needed for repairs and servicing the luxury models. “We use the Hunter wheel alignment system, recommended for all major luxury and European vehicles. “Our tyre servicing equipment includes the Sice tyre changer, again recommended for most Euro vehicles. And to top it off, we’re still cheaper when compared to capped price servicing from dealers.” Loan cars are available for a small fee, and

Level field creates finals intrigue LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers With a week’s break just after the half way mark of the Tennis Geelong Saturday Winter season, things are starting to get interesting with six weeks remaining. Section 1 Girls is no exception, with seven of the eight teams still in good contention for finals. The ladder is headed by Grovedale sitting pretty, 10 points ahead of second-placed Wandana Heights White. The minor premiership looks to be Grovedale’s for the taking however, Matilda Sutherland, who hasn’t dropped a set for the season, will be missing for the balance of the home and away matches, so this could see their lead diminish over the coming weeks. Wandana Heights White are 12 points ahead of third-placed Drysdale, but with the teams matching up this week, we will get a good insight into whether this difference will be evident on the court. In their previous match up, White took the match four sets to two, but Drysdale retired a

set due to injury, so things could be tighter on the day. Neena Cumming has only lost one set for the season for White, so if she and her team continue their good form, they will challenge for the minor premiership and the grade title. The battle to make the four will be made up of Drysdale, Geelong Lawn, Surfcoast Jan Juc, Highton and Ocean Grove, where there is only 11.5 points between third and seventh. The teams have had mixed results against each other with Drysdale losing their first encounters against Geelong Lawn and Highton, but had good wins over Jan Juc and Ocean Grove. Lawn defeated Surfcoast and Highton, but went down to Ocean Grove, while Jan Juc and Highton toppled Ocean Grove. This week Lawn will travel to Highton, Ocean Grove will host Grovedale and Surfcoast Jan Juc will face Wandana Heights Blue away from home. Each team will be hoping for a good performance this week and for the rest of the season, as any slip could result in missing a finals berth.

Freshwater fishing is heating up ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos

Grovedale’s Matilda Sutherland and Georgia Carr in action. Sutherland will be missing for the majority of the final six games of the season. (Supplied)

The freshwater fishing this past week has really heated up with the crater lakes producing some quality captures. Lake Bullen Merri and Lake Purrumbete have both been fishing very well for rainbow, tiger and brown trout. In Bullen Merri, some anglers have managed to get their boat on the lake regardless of the boat ramp construction and I’ve managed to pick up some quality fish on the troll. Tassie devils have been a favourite lure at the moment as well as Daiwa double clutches. Chinook salmon have also been biting well in the lake with anglers using bait just off the bottom finding good success. Lake Purrumbete has definitely been holding the better quality fish with brown trout up to 7lb being caught. There has been plenty of redfin an offer in the lake to dropping ice jigs or soft plastics on their heads have been super effective. Wurdiboluc Reservoir and Stony Creek Reservoir both continue to produce some good trout and redfin fishing. Wurdiboluc has probably been the stand out lake with plenty of trout to 1lb been caught along with a few pushing the 6lb mark. The inner harbour of Corio Bay has continued to produce plenty of good fishing with pinky snapper and Australian salmon on the chew. Bait fishing with squid has been working very well. Anglers casting soft plastics have also been finding great success, 3 inch minnow profile in natural patterns have been working the best. Port Macdonnell has been red hot with the barrel tuna bite at the moment, with lots of reports coming in daily ,with fish over 100kg caught and for some boats, multiple in one day. A lot of success has come from skirted lures and dropping live bait into the schools of fish.

Relishing tough run home By Justin Flynn Thomson coach Shannyn Leach is looking forward to a tough period before the Geelong District Netball League finals, where her side plays three of the top five teams. After a four-goal win against a plucky Belmont on Saturday, the Tigers face Anakie tomorrow and Bell Post Hill the following week – games they should win. And then it gets tricky for the current top-placed team. Thomson then meets second-placed Winchelsea and third-placed East Geelong before a match-up with Bannockburn (fifth) and Inverleigh (ninth). “What’s really good about it is that most of them are finals contenders as well,” Leach said. “We haven’t played East Geelong since the first few rounds. It will be nice to know where you’re at again. “You can get caught up about where you’re sitting on the ladder.”

Leach said Thomson’s 46 to 42 win last Saturday was always going to be a tough grind. “They’re (Belmont) losing games by not a lot,” she said. “We knew when they lost to Werribee by only eight the other week that they are a lot better than what they were at the start of the year. “We knew it was going to be tough – it was very physical in our goal ring.” However, Leach was happy with the way her side ground out a victory. “I was pleased with their ability just to keep going,” she said. “It’s easy to drop your head when times get a little tough like that but power to them, they just kept going and that’s what I need them to do to win those tough games.” Leach said there was plenty of room for improvement, despite the win. “While we were 10 goals up at one stage, once a couple of things went wrong we tended to drop our heads and that’s something the team’s got to focus on,” she said.

“We had a really bad third quarter on the weekend, lots of turnovers, missed goals, a number of things went wrong. “And then they brought themselves back into it in the last quarrel but then dropped again. “We’re a bit inconsistent with our play and that’s where we need to find that four-quarter consistency.” Goal defender Rebecca Lebish and 17-year-old goaler Cheyenne Philpott shot at 68 per cent to be the Tigers’ best players. Thomson’s opponent tomorrow, Anakie, has won three games for the season and sits in 10th place. It’s a game the Tigers should win comfortably, but Leach said there will be no complacency. “Our captain Emma Whitham is very good at getting the girls up and about and just making every game like you’re playing against an East Geelong or a Winchelsea,” Leach said. “For us we need to focus on what we do well and put systems in place that are going to match up. Good teams adapt.”

Geelong chief executive Steve Hocking said the club was excited to welcome the new fixture. “The season seven fixture is going to provide our members and supporters a number of opportunities to rally behind the team,” he said. “In addition, our travel schedule will allow a number of our interstate members and supporters to get along to the football and see the Cats in action in their home states.”

Cats run home made clearer Geelong’s fixture for rounds 19, 20 and 21 of the VFL season have been announced. The Cats will host Coburg at GMHBA Stadium in round 19 on Sunday, July 31 at 12.35pm. Geelong backs up for round 20 with another home game against Sandringham on Saturday, August 6 at 3.50pm. In round 21, Geelong travels to Box Hill to take on the Hawks on Saturday, August 13 at 2.05pm. Geelong is 13th on the ladder, but only a game and percentage out of the top eight. While it won’t be easy, the three rounds give Geelong a chance to finish the season strongly. Coburg is currently 18th on the ladder, Sandringham is 11th and Box Hill seventh. Geelong faces a mammoth task against top side Casey Demons tonight and then meets fifth placed Carlton next Saturday before having a bye in round 18. The dates and times of the final round have not been released, but the Cats will host Port Melbourne.

Lions hold off resurgent Thomson in thriller Belmont coach Nathan Bisset said his nerves were “quite high” during the frantic final minutes of his club’s thrilling one-point win against Thomson on Saturday. The Lions held on after holding a 28-point lead at half time and Geelong District Football League finals are not totally out of the question. Belmont is three games and percentage out of the top five with six rounds to play, but Bisset insisted it wasn’t a priority. “At this stage it’s just week by week,” he said. “If results start going our way then we can potentially look forward to having a say in it but at this stage it’s about shaping the five.” Bisset said he knew Thomson would hit back after a poor opening half on Saturday. “We knew they were always going to throw something back at us,” he said. “They’re a great side, well coached and well structured. “We were just composed in the last couple of minutes and didn’t rush. “We played low risk footy in the last few minutes and played our structure.” Bisset said consistency was the goal for the final six rounds. “We’ve had some slow starts with young kids in the group who are inexperienced and inconsistent, but they are starting to find their feet in senior football,” he said. “I want more consistency in the latter part of the year from the young lads. “They are a young, raw group starting to find their feet. We want to turn good quarters into

good halves.” Belmont was well served on Saturday by midfielder Jak Evans. “Jak Evans was a standout with his contested footy in the midfield all day, you couldn’t fault him,” Bisset said. “Ben Evans (four goals) at centre half forward gave us a nice tall target to kick to and Brent Jacques kicked his goals (three) and passed the footy off.” Belmont takes on fifth-placed Bell Post Hill this weekend in a must-win game. “It’s a tough ask, but if we do all the good things right we will be in the game in the last five minutes,” Bisset said. Winchelsea kept its finals hopes alive with a 113-point win against Corio with Leigh Ellis on fire, booting eight goals. Geelong West Giants thrashed Anakie by 150 points with Blake Dye and Ted Walliss each kicking seven goals. Bell Post Hill emerged with a 45-point win against Werribee Centrals with Nick Costello’s seven majors a highlight. East Geelong kept second spot with a 12-goal victory against North Geelong with Brent McGrath (four goals) best afield. Inverleigh got past Bannockburn by six goals with Paddy Bourke starring with five goals in a best on ground display, however the win was soured with knee injuries to Kadison McEwan-Walsh and Michael Grozdanovski.
