Junk challenge targets kids New research released this week by Deakin University suggests junk food companies are using a range of strategies to recruit children as online brand ambassadors to market their products. Researchers from Deakin University’s Global Obesity Centre (GLOBE) conducted an analysis of content posted on the TikTok accounts of 16 top-selling international food and beverage companies. Their findings show companies are using marketing strategies that directly appeal to children, such as promoting hashtag challenges to encourage users to create and share content featuring the companies’ products. These user videos displayed the big brands’ products in an overwhelmingly positive way and had racked up billions of views; videos

responding to one of Pepsi’s hashtag challenges had been watched over 100 billion times. Deakin associate professor Kathryn Backholer said big brands and TikTok were turning users, many of them children, into online marketers for their products. “This is an incredibly insidious strategy by TikTok and junk food marketing companies,” she said. “TikTok’s own website describes these challenges as an opportunity for companies to turn TikTok users into their ‘unofficial brand ambassadors’ and we know that many TikTok users are children.” Lead author of the study, GLOBE associate research fellow Ruby Brooks, said these challenges were just one questionable tactic used by food companies to target consumers

and children. “We found that companies are using facial recognition to estimate customers’ age, sex and mood to tailor foods that are shown back to customers on menu boards,” she said. “These companies predominantly sell unhealthy foods and the use of tactics like these is likely to drive increased selection and consumption of these foods. Associate professor Backholer warned government leadership was critical in protecting children from these exploitative practices. “Our study highlights the need for greater scrutiny of the actions of these big food companies, but also of the big technology companies that work with food companies,” she said.

“Strong government-led policies to protect children from the harmful impact of unhealthy food marketing are urgently needed. This is about putting our children’s health before industry profits.” TikTok responded to the research, saying the company had a number of policies in place to safeguard the well-being of its users, especially children. “The safety of our community is a top priority, which is why we have clear advertising policies on what is and isn’t allowed to be advertised on TikTok,” a TikTok spokesperson said. “Our policies explicitly state that ads for HFSS foods should not feature a specific call to purchase and should not be aimed at users aged 16 years and under.”

Council shifts gambling policy City of Greater Geelong has adopted a Gambling Harm Minimisation Policy as it shifts from its previous Electronic Gaming Policy to encompass gambling of all types, rather than just the pokies. According to Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) data, $2.85 billion has been lost to poker machines in Greater Geelong in the 30 years since their introduction. Total losses from all forms of gambling during that period push that figure even higher. The policy aims to balance the right to this legal form of revenue-generating

entertainment, with the need to promote wellbeing and address the harm gambling can have on individuals, loved ones and the broader community. It will inform the council a on all matters surrounding gambling in the region, including responding to applications to the VGCCC to install new EGMs. Guided by harm minimisation principles, the policy focuses on reducing gambling demand by supporting and promoting alternatives to gambling; reducing supply through the promotion of evidence-based sound planning; and reducing harm by fostering community connection and safety.

The city will help community or sporting clubs and organisations wanting to transition away from EGMs or end financial dependence on gambling sponsorship or revenue. Organisations, clubs and groups that don’t receive gambling revenue will be prioritised in council’s Community Grants program. Gambling activities and facilities for pokie machines won’t receive grants. Internet filters will be installed and maintained to prevent access to gambling sites on all city public WiFi. Council will advocate for the state government to review the regional EGM cap in Greater Geelong. Cr Sarah Mansfield said

while not all gambling leads to harm, there are community members suffering financial stress, homelessness, poor health and relationship breakdowns as a result. “The amount of money lost in our municipality is simply staggering,” Cr Mansfield said. “Problem gambling is a growing concern in our community and it is an issue that is particularly affecting younger people. “There are a diverse range of views on this topic but council has a responsibility to promote and protect community health and wellbeing and this policy will help us in that endeavour.”

Happy Huskies receives $10k grant Happy Huskies Victoria co-director and rescue co-ordinator Jocelyn Peucker couldn’t be happier about the state government’s announcement of almost $10,000 in funding for the not-for-profit organisation. “It’s just amazing, it’s going to change everything,” she said. “We’ve rehomed over 70 dogs in the past two years and we had 18 huskies in foster care at the same time last year. “This grant will give us the money we need to care for more huskies, get more foster carers and train more people in how to look after these dogs.” Agriculture Minister Gayle Tierney visited Leopold Gateway Sanctuary last week to announce the grant for Happy Huskies Victoria, which is a volunteer-based charity that takes in surrendered Siberian Huskies and helps them find a forever home. The grant was awarded through the Labor

government’s Animal Welfare Fund grant program, which has awarded more than $5.9 million in funding to not-for-profit animal welfare organisations since 2014. Ms Tierney praised the work Happy Huskies had done in its two years of operation. “It’s important to invest in organisations like Happy Huskies Victoria, which play such a significant role in improving animal welfare outcomes in our communities,” she said. “Pets are such a big part of our lives, so it’s great to see the positive impact these grants have on rehoming and rehabilitating animals.” Ms Peucker said Siberian huskies presented special challenges, but with support from organisations such as Happy Huskies owners could help their dogs become loved and trusted family members. “They’re not an easy dog to train, they’re not like labradors,” she said.

“But they can be trained. And it’s our job to teach people how to do that. Huskies can’t just be left in the backyard all day by themselves, they’re pack animals. They need to be part of a family, and with proper training they can be.” Ms Peucker said Happy Huskies had great ambitions for the future, such as an online educational hub and database, expanded coverage across the country and certification for foster-carers and owners. “There’s lots of misinformation out there about huskies, especially online,” she said. “If we can get out there and educate people and give them a place where they can find all the information and support they need, that’s what we want to do. “Our priority is to prepare rescued Siberian huskies to live a beautiful life with their forever families.” Matt Hewson

Bellarine Community Health (BCH) will hold a series of free mental health and wellbeing group workshops for adults on the Bellarine. In addition to running mental health services for young people at Drysdale and headspace Ocean Grove and adult counselling services, BCH is now offering the workshops for adults. The intention of the workshops is to provide information and strategies for people who are struggling to help them build skills to cope with anxiety and depressive symptoms. “It’s about helping people learn what to do and give them strategies to make a difference in their lives,” retired mental health professional Peter Billings, who will lead the workshops, said. “The leader is a bit like a coach and the group is the team. The team can brainstorm and share ideas; it’s a format that works well because it’s practical and it gives participants strategies they can take away and work on in their own lives.” The workshops will cover a range of areas including understanding the importance of behavioural activity and avoidance in the context of anxiety and depression, problem solving, and learning a range of strategies and techniques to help manage symptoms including mindfulness and controlled breathing. The workshop will run for six weeks, and then the format will repeat, with the themes of the workshops regularly reinforced so that anyone attending one or all the sessions can benefit. No professional referral is required to attend the workshops, although participants must register by phoning 5253 0400 or emailing youth@bch.org.au The workshops will run from the BCH Drysdale site in Palmerston Street, from 9.30am to 11am on Tuesdays.

24-hour Moveathon for domestic violence Steph Carroll and Ella Squire will be moving for 24 consecutive hours to raise funds and awareness for domestic violence. BFT Ocean Grove co-owner Steph said the pair wants to raise $5000 for Safe Steps, which provides specialist support services for anyone in Victoria who is experiencing or afraid of family violence. “When we began BFT Ocean Grove 18 months ago our objective was to create a safe environment for women to exercise,” Steph said. “We felt strongly about doing something to raise awareness. “Unlike other issues or illnesses or diseases that aren’t curable this can be stopped.

“Nobody should feel unsafe in their home environment.” Steph and Ella will keep moving for 24 hours at BFT Ocean Grove, where they will ride spin bikes and undertake other activities. With three spin bikes, you can ride with them for an hour to provide support (get in touch to put your name down). Both are active anyway, but Steph and Ella will still face a challenge to move for a whole 24 hours. “It’s going to be challenging,” Steph said. “I’ve never done anything like this before. We’ve got a good community so they will come and help us keep going.

“We’re both fairly active people so we will be broadly okay. It’s probably the mental side of things. You can’t really train for it. “I think we’ll be focusing more on the reason why we are doing it rather than moving for 24 hours.” Head to hostyourownevent.safesteps.org.au/ page/BFTOceanGrove if you want to donate to the cause. If you want to be a sponsor or just help in any way, email oceangrove@bodyfittraining.com. If you, or anyone you know, is experiencing domestic violence, call Safe Steps on 1800 015 188.

Learn about our region A dashboard that allows you to zoom in on any City of Greater Geelong-managed tree to view its species, age, health and size has been launched ahead of National Tree Day, The city is sharing data on the more than 165,000 trees it manages in its parks, reserves and streets via the new Urban Forest Dashboard. Mayor Peter Murrihy said the new dashboard was delivered under the Smart City Strategic Framework to improve data-driven decision making and increase our ability to plan, monitor, predict and manage the environment. “The Urban Forest Dashboard is a way to share with the community the work we do every day to make Greater Geelong a greener, cooler and more liveable city,” he said. “Trees cool our streets, absorb carbon, provide habitat and bring beauty to our parks and streets. “Transparent decision making is important,

so we want everyone to be able to access to information about where trees have been planted, their age, species and how they are performing.” Australia’s largest tree planting and nature care event, National Tree Day, will be held this Sunday, July 31. The city is supporting the event with a planting day at 9.30am on the Ted Wilson Trail at the rear of Haines Reserve, 1a Wilks Street, Manifold Heights. City works, parks and gardens portfolio chair, Cr Anthony Aitken, said the trees and vegetation that make up the city’s urban forest are vitally important natural assets for our community and the environment.“Trees are so important to our community. From the lemon scented gums planted along Brougham Street, to the beautiful Cypress trees you can see across The Bellarine, to the remnant River Red Gums that line the Barwon River,” he said.

“We’re really proud to manage these beautiful trees on behalf of our community and to share our data with other agencies, researchers, policy-makers and citizen-scientists.” Facts about the city’s urban forest: • The city manages 106,670 street trees and 46,459 park trees, as well as trees along rural roadways, reserves, waterways and bike trails; • More than 2700 trees were planted in 2020-21; • Twenty-six of the city’s most common trees have a downloadable fact sheet so you can learn more the Spotted Gum, the Drooping Sheoak or the Chinese Elm; • The Geelong Botanic Gardens features a Maidenhair Tree (Ginkgo Biloba), one of the Earth’s oldest tree species. The tree is believed to be the largest in Australia; and • Johnstone Park features a tree propagated from the original Lone Pine (Pinus Brutia), grown on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

150 years for Wool Museum building On August 1, it will be 150 years since the opening of the CJ Dennys & Co Woolstore, the current home of Geelong’s own National Wool Museum. The museum is marking the milestone with free entry, children’s activities, complimentary morning tea and a yarn with staff and volunteers. Also marking the milestone is the National Wool Museum produced exhibition, ‘Bluestone: 150 Years of the Dennys Lascelles Woolstore’ opening to the public on September 16. The exhibition is an honest account of the colonisation of the region and events leading up to the opening of the woolstore. Bluestone will tell the stories of those who have walked the halls of the building and will explore the progress of Geelong and those who lived there through the ages. “It is an honour to be part of such deep connection – in a building embedded in the rich colonial history of Geelong on a place with thousands of years of ongoing cultural heritage,” National Wool Museum director Padraic Fisher said. “We welcome everyone to come for a visit to the ‘Bluestone Jewel Box’, share a story and make a connection of their own to this place we call Geelong.” Mayor Peter Murrihy encouraged the community to take up the offer of free entry on August 1 and learn more about the building’s history. “The woolstore is so strongly intertwined with the modern history of Geelong,” he said. “The 150-year anniversary of its opening is a milestone worth reflecting upon for its impact on both the evolution of our city, and the Wadawurrung people who were displaced from their land as a result of colonisation. “The free open day gives us all a chance to recognise and learn more about both of these elements.”

YOUR SAY New election, same old policies Does opposition leader Matthew Guy think he can beat Premier Andrews with the almost identical policies at the next election? Why does he think that by extending Labor’s solar panels policy that the electorate is going to switch and vote for him? People need an alternative government not an opposition that simply is a clone of Labor. What Mr Guy should be doing is telling Victorians where it’s going to get its baseload power from when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow. This may come as a surprise to our politicians but the sun doesn’t shine nor the wind blow 24-7. Mr Guy’s policy may be fine for private homes, where is the dispatchable power going to come from to run our commerce and industry, our hospitals, public transport and schools? Why shouldn’t Victoria use coal? We sell it by the bulk carrier load to China every day and China emits more emissions in 17 days than Australia does in one year. It’s obvious that Victoria need a new Hazelwood or else the what’s its-name is going to hit the fan when coal fired power stations are forced to close. If Mr Guy went to the people of Victoria and told them why this state urgently needs to build a new Hazelwood, people would see the merit of this proposal. Mr Guy should take a leaf out of John Howard’s book when he had to go out and hard sell his GST to the electorate, and he did, and win the day. Mr Guy needs to show leadership on supplying base load as renewables can’t – even with battery storage. What Victoria needs is a genuine statesman and not just another politician only concerned about gaining votes for the next election. Alan Barron, Grovedale

Museum to expand beyond wool Geelong’s National Wool Museum will expand to extend its focus beyond wool to represent the broader story of Geelong. City of Greater Geelong councillors endorsed a 30-year vision for the museum to reflect the region’s 60,000-year living culture and history, from First Nations People to the emerging and advanced industries of today. Mayor Peter Murrihy said the museum will become an institution dedicated to Geelong’s human ingenuity, resilience, and enterprise – and actively shape the region’s future through its relationships, programs and legacy. “We’re responding to feedback from visitors

and members of our local community who have told us they want to experience and understand more about Geelong’s unique culture and shared future,” he said. “We want to create a museum that is of and for Greater Geelong. The story of wool and the related collections will remain a core component of the museum and the new vision will build on its success and legacy.” The multi-award-winning National Wool Museum was opened by the city in 1988 with a focus on the cultural life of Australians as told through wool, fibre and textiles. However, research and engagement studies have shown that the museum’s focus on wool

limits its ability to connect with a broader audience and align with council’s strategic objectives. Since 2010 the museum has been broadening its programming to reflect changes in the Geelong community and the expectations of visitors. A business case will be developed to fully explore the opportunities for the reimagined and expanded museum, including a potential development of the Dennys Lascelles Wool Stores to display and interpret council’s large and diverse art and heritage collection. The city will seek funding support from the Victorian government to undertake the

Raffle Mania needs your support One of Geelong’s oldest and most trusted support and services organisations is reaching out for community support. Encompass Community Services, a not-for-profit organisation that seeks to support people living with disabilities or disadvantage, is currently promoting Raffle Mania, its first major fundraising event since the beginning of the pandemic. The raffle will raise much-needed money to enable Encompass to provide its services to its 1000-odd clients in the Greater Geelong, Wyndham, Werribee and Surf Coast areas. Encompass runs programs for work experience, job seeking, training and education, and independent living, and fundraising team leader Urszula Wynd said the community’s support of the fundraiser would make a real difference to the way Encompass would be able to deliver its services. “We need this kind of funding so we can help our current participants to get the kind of support they need,” she said. “We run all kinds of programs, and of course they need staff. So we need people to help our clients do the things they can do and work towards independence.” The raffle features over $2000 worth of prizes, including a major artwork piece, and Airbnb package, auto care products, beauty products, and many more. Ms Wynd said Encompass was very grateful to its partners and the local businesses who were supporting the fundraiser, either through donating prizes or helping promote the event. Tickets are on sale until midnight Tuesday, August 23, and winners will be drawn 11am Wednesday, August 24, and Ms Wynd said buying tickets had never been easier. “We have a QR code on our posters, which will take you straight to the website you need, and there’s a link as well,” she said. Tickets can be purchased at rafflelink.com. au/EncompassRaffle2022.

Creative communities and culture chair, Cr Trent Sullivan, said the new vision will help the community and visitors connect with our region’s remarkable cultural heritage. “This is an important step towards expanding and evolving the museum so that it’s a place that everyone can enjoy in the heart of Geelong,” Cr Sullivan said. “Independent analysis shows that the expanded vision could deliver a net benefit of up to $72 million to the region over a 30-year period – or around $2.3 million a year.”

Get your hands dirty for tree day Greater Geelong residents are being encouraged to get involved in a tree planting day. The City of Greater Geelong is seeking volunteers to get their hands dirty to help green one of the scenic shared path corridors. Planting will focus on a section of the Ted Wilson Trail behind Haines Reserve, in Hamlyn Heights. Tools and equipment will be provided, with participants also able to enjoy refreshments and a barbecue hosted by the Lions Club. Councillor Anthony Aitken said the community planting would be held on National Tree Day, which is Australia’s largest tree planting and nature care event. “With the help of the community, we’re aiming to plant as many trees as possible along an 800-metre stretch of the trail corridor,” Cr Aitken said. “The trees will grow to create a green boundary and provide natural shade for pedestrians and cyclists using the trail.” The 12km-long Ted Wilson Trail follows the alignment of the Geelong Ring Road, from Corio through to Herne Hill. Cr Aitken said the planting was part of a long-running project, called Greenway, which is revegetating the trail with tens of thousands of trees and native grasses. “We are creating a larger and more diverse tree population, which is cooling our public areas and improving the look and feel of the municipality,” he said. The National Tree Day event will be held at 9.30am on Sunday, July 31. Pre-registration at treeday.planetark. org/site/10027143 is encouraged but not essential. Volunteers can meet along the trail at the rear of Haines Reserve in Wilks Street, Hamlyn Heights.

Building works on a major $2.5 million development at Anakie Reserve will commence next month, after the City of Greater Geelong Council awarded local firm Rendine Constructions with the construction contract. The new social rooms will provide a multi-purpose facility that aligns with the state sporting association facility development guidelines and will meet the operational needs of tenant clubs Anakie Community Sports Club and Anakie Cricket Club. In addition to the large club and social room, the facility will feature a kitchen, gym, bar, cool room, unisex accessible amenities, a timekeepers space and administration office. The single-storey pavilion is set to replace the existing social rooms and be erected next to the new stand-alone change rooms, which were built five years ago.

The open tender process to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to undertake the works closed last month. AVOR Architecture was appointed by council in October 2021 to complete the design of the facility, which is estimated to be completed prior to the commencement of the 2023 football season. Windermere Ward councillor Kylie Grzybek said the new changerooms would be a welcome addition to the Anakie Reserve precinct. “Council is proud to be supporting grassroots sporting clubs and communities and this project will provide a major boost to the tenant clubs of Anakie Recreation Reserve,” Cr Grzybek said. “The upgrades will also benefit the entire Anakie community, and will give the town a wonderful asset for all to use.”

The Geelong Gaol Museum will present an exhibition of paintings from Melbourne underworld identity Mark ‘Chopper’ Read. The exhibition will showcase a selection of rarely seen art pieces from the Read Family Estate. Read was incarcerated at the gaol in the 1980s. The exhibition will be opening with a VIP event on Sunday. July 31 at 5.30pm with Chopper’s wife Margaret in attendance and will run to the end of October.

Push on for growth committee The City of Greater Geelong has requested the minister for planning appoint a standing advisory committee to facilitate the planning of the northern and western Geelong growth areas. Spanning 5500 hectares across Lovely Banks and Batesford, the northern and western Geelong growth areas will eventually house about 110,000 residents, which is larger than the current population of Ballarat. The areas are the largest growth front in regional Victoria and were identified in the Greater Geelong Settlement Strategy as vital to addressing population growth and

housing demand. The growth areas will be rolled out as a sequence of nine separate precincts, each with its own structure plan that details the required community facilities and infrastructure. Two precinct structure plans and a biodiversity conservation strategy are being developed, requiring three planning scheme amendments to implement these initiatives into the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme. Seven more precinct structure plans will be developed over the next decade that will also require amendments. Council resolved to seek an alternative

approach to the regular planning scheme amendment process as there are some time savings available and consistency in how independent reviews are conducted, that will lead to better planning outcomes. The city said an advisory committee for the growth areas would be more efficient in resolving changes to the planning scheme. The process would maintain the opportunity for public exhibition, community consultation, independent review and council adoption of a final decision. Councillor Kylie Grzybek, chair of the statutory and strategic planning portfolio,

said the committee will provide a process for the resolution of issues, as well as timely advice to council and the minister for planning. “The standing advisory committee will deal with precinct structure plans, development contributions, a biodiversity conservation strategy and any associated draft planning scheme amendments,” Cr Grzybek said. “The committee will ensure a carefully managed and coordinated planning and approval process to deliver on our northern and eestern Geelong growth areas framework plan.”

Reducing plastic waste Surf Coast Shire Council has partnered with Responsible Cafes – a not-for-profit program supporting local cafes to reduce their plastic waste and single-use cups. Council will invite local cafes to join the program, with the first 30 cafes that register as a Responsible Cafe to receive a starter pack of reusable Huskee cups worth over $300. GROW Anglesea is one of 13 cafes which has already signed up for the initiative, with owner Lyndelle Flintoft believing small steps can make a big difference. “I know sometimes sustainability can feel like it could cost more money but things like bringing your own coffee cup to the shop, everybody can do that,” she said. “It’s about taking little steps – not buying things wrapped in plastic, considering if something has been made by a local designer rather than a mass producer. “It takes a little bit more effort but it’s all

possible. If you’re someone who wants to start at the basics, bringing in your own coffee cup and being conscious about what you’re consuming is a great start.” Mayor Libby Stapleton praised cafes which had registered for the program. Cr Stapleton encouraged people using disposable takeaway cups to make the switch to reusable. “It’s fantastic to see all the other ways that cafes are reducing waste, including being plastic bag and container free, offering free water refills, and composting coffee grounds and food waste. It all helps,” she said. “At the start of COVID-19 lockdowns, a lot of people’s good habit of taking their own cup to a cafe was put on pause due to the uncertainty of the virus. This led to a huge increase in the number of single use takeaway coffee cups being used and then thrown away.” GROW Anglesea’s Lyndelle Flintoft and Mayor Libby Stapleton. (Supplied)

‘Them’ is an act of resistance By Matt Hewson For Samah Sabawi, the playwright behind ‘Them’, resistance is most effective when expressed through beauty. “As an activist, as a writer, as a woman, all the things that I am, I’ve found that you need to be able to enjoy fighting for what you believe in,” Sabawi said. “It cannot be all dreary and dark. The act of resisting itself is very rewarding and beautiful.” ‘Them’ will feature at Geelong Arts Centre from Tuesday, August 2 to Saturday, August 6, and tells the story of a group of friends contemplating fleeing their war-torn city.

‘‘

There’s always music, there’s always poetry. There’s always a love story, a chase - Samah Sabawi

’’

The stellar cast is diverse and multitalented, including Taj Aldeeb, Abdulrahman Hammoud and Claudia Greenstone, and the actors bring their own experiences as migrants, refugees, and parents to the work. Born in Palestine, Sabawi knows firsthand the horrors of living under oppression, but also seeks in her works to juxtapose that horror with the simple joys and beauty of the everyday life that continues under the shadow of war. “When I’m presenting these stories I try to make them not only authentic to the tragedy they tell, but also to the beauty of life in these parts,” Sabawi said. “There’s always music, there’s always poetry. There’s always a love story, a chase. “All the things that we experience and take for granted, day-to-day in our privileged lives, they still happen. And they are felt a lot more

profoundly in places where it is dark, where there is war, where there is oppression.” Sabawi based the play on her experiences and the stories she heard at Yarmouk, at one time the largest unofficial Palestinian refugee camp in Syria; in 2002 Yarmouk was home to 112,000 registered refugees, but its population was reduced to mere hundreds after the Syrian civil war and its occupation by ISIL. Sabawi is an advocate, a scholar, and a

member of various international bodies in an advisory capacity, but she views her work as an author and playwright as her most important contribution. “Art is the most important part of the work that I do,” she said. “Theatre, specifically, is so special. It’s really about building communities and reaching out to different segments of society, speaking in diverse languages and tongues and modes of expression.

“When it comes to the idea of resistance, it’s about building movements, getting people to see things that need to change, and compelling them about why that change is needed. “I think people are persuaded more through art than they can ever be through political lecturing, discourse, or academia. I think art goes from the heart to the heart, and that’s really the best way to communicate.”

The Geelong West Rotary Book Fair will return this year, much to the delight of avid readers. The biannual fair is the club’s major fundraising event for the year. There will be thousands of books on offer from fiction to biographies, cooking to gardening, classics to crime and a plethora of children’s books. You will be able to roam the aisles and pick out titles to stock your shelves, costing only $1 for children’s and paperback books and $2 for hardcovers. “After a number of interrupted years with

COVID-19, it is even more important now that we work as hard as possible to generate funds to share amongst our challenged communities,” Geelong West Rotary president Jim Marendaz said. “Rotary is a proud not for profit organisation and all funds raised go directly to the community groups most in need”. Funds from previous fairs have been distributed to Rotary Clubs in towns ravaged by bushfire and drought, to Samaritan House to assist those without a place to sleep, Christ Church meals feeding those less fortunate, as

well as to buy a cuppa to recharge the nurses working exhaustive hours at the start of the pandemic. Geelong Regional Library Corporation has supported the book fair for many years through the donation of books which have been ‘retired’ from their library collection. The Geelong West Rotary Book Fair is at Geelong West Town Hall on Friday, August 5, from 9am to 6pm, Saturday, August 6, from 9am to 5pm, and Sunday, August 7, from 9am to 2pm.

Riding in Lara’s memory By Justin Flynn When friends of Peter Herrick lost their little girl Lara to SIDS in 2019, it made him realise just how fragile life can be. Lara was the same age as Peter’s daughter and it seemed like a logical step to do something about it. Last year he organised a 20-kilometre walk from Geelong to Lara, which raised $1000, but this year he wanted to do something bigger. “Lara’s parents have honoured her with charity events for SIDS in the UK ever since,” Peter said. “In 2021, we decided we wanted to do our part to honour her, so we held our own fundraiser on Australian soil.” So this year Peter, along with some mates, decided to up their game and do a bike ride around the Bellarine to help raise funds for Red Nose Day, which falls on August 13. Peter, from Lara, and 13 other cyclists will begin and end their 110km journey at Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club (OGSLSC), taking in Geelong and the Bellarine along the way. The riders will travel into Geelong from Ocean Grove and then out to Drysdale, Portarlington, St Leonards, Queenscliff and then back to Ocean Grove. They were initially hoping to raise $5000 but have eclipsed that with the tally currently standing at $7305. The revised goal is now $10,000. “I’m just blown away by the community support,” Peter said. “Lately it feels like it’s (Red Nose Day) fallen by the wayside and I’m proud to bring it back. “The severity of what this is. It doesn’t seem to be on the radar as much despite it’s still a massive issue in our society and we need to give children the opportunity to live a long healthy life.”

None of the 14 riders are experts. “I hadn’t got on the bike for a long time up until February this year,” Peter said. “I’m doing a fair bit now, but I’m very much an amateur rider. “None of the riders are expert riders. Everyone does it occasionally or two or three times a week. “It’s going to be a challenge for some guys. There’s varying ages and abilities of fitness. “But we’re not racing, we’re very much staying together the whole time.” Peter said OGSLSC is keen to make it an annual event. “Red Nose Australia are also very excited

with what we are doing,” he said. The 2022 ride event has seen sponsors from across the state come on board to lend a hand, from small start-up bakeries donating Ride the Bellarine for SIDS cookies, to major mortgage brokers all digging deep to support the cause. Following the Ride the Bellarine for SIDS completion, OGSLSC and ride organisers will host a charity auction and raffle featuring thousands of dollars in signed sporting memorabilia, boutique beer and wine up for auction, all to go under the hammer.

Registrations open for 2022 Geelong Revival For those that have dreamed of putting the pedal to the metal, pitting their pride and joy against a lineup of tough competitors, the perfect opportunity might finally be here. Sprint registrations for the November 2022 Geelong Revival Motoring Festival are now officially open for drivers of four-wheeled vehicles to take on all comers along Geelong’s picturesque waterfront. An integral part of Geelong Revival, the Quarter Mile Sprint sees nearly 300 cars and motorbikes compete for the coveted Geelong Revival Motoring Festival trophy in a range of vehicle classes. Held on the Geelong Waterfront since 1956, the Quarter Mile Sprint has become a staple of the Geelong event calendar, and a must-do for any local motorsport enthusiast. Following a move to a March date earlier this year, the Geelong Revival Motoring Festival is returning to its traditional early-summer spot from November 25 to 27. “We’re lucky enough to have a fantastic, passionate community of motoring enthusiasts who are all eager to show off their amazing collections,” event director Nicholas Heath said. “We’re also really keen to deliver some new and exciting on-track activities at this year’s event – things never before seen at Geelong Revival.”

Spotlight on homeless support Little Malop Street came alive with guest speakers, live music and a good old-fashioned barbecue this week to bring awareness to Greater Geelong’s homeless population. The free event in Little Malop Central on Wednesday, July 27 heard from local homeless agencies, Kaye, who has experienced homelessness and Geelong MP Christine Couzens. Rising rents and a housing affordability crisis has led to more than 5000 people accessing homelessness services in the Barwon Region in the past year. It has promoted calls from local agencies for a commitment from local, state and federal governments to provide 13,500 new properties by 2041 for Geelong alone, which is 675 per year. Barwon South West Homelessness Networker Rebecca Callahan said the housing affordability crisis has created a dire shortage of affordable options for people on low incomes. AIHW specialist homelessness services collection data shows more than 4660 households in the Barwon region sought assistance from homelessness services in 2020-2021. During the pandemic there were over 450 households placed into emergency accommodation between March and December in 2020 in the Barwon region. Of the 450 households, 131 were housed with support through the Homeless to a Home Program. These households did not have a stay at home option. Since the restrictions were lifted there are only a few hotels, motels and caravan parks that will take referrals from homelessness and family violence providers in the region. The funding for emergency accommodation has returned to pre pandemic levels while demand for emergency accommodation has increased,

Kgshak Akec launches her award-winning debut novel Hopeless Kingdom on Monday.

(Ivan Kemp) 290208_07

New voice in Australian literature Kgshak Akec’s debut novel, Hopeless Kingdom, started out as a private project paying homage to her mother, as Matt Hewson discovers.

12 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 29 July, 2022

“We had to take a train to Egypt within a week, and we became asylum seekers, essentially. We lived there for three years, but I knew it wasn’t home. No one looked like me, and we were treated so differently because of it. “When I was six we came to Australia, and though I knew that, again, nobody would look like we did, but my parents told me this would be our forever home.” Akec attended a very multicultural primary school in the Sydney suburb of Auburn, where other six-year-old children of Lebanese or Sudanese descent acted as translators for her and her siblings, who only spoke Arabic at the time. “We first came to Geelong in 2006, and I was heartbroken, I had a really hard time wrapping my head around this being the place I was going to call home from now on,” Akec said. “And at that time, Geelong was nowhere near as multicultural as it is now, let alone as Auburn was. I remember going to see my new school, and after showing us around the campus the principal turned to us as said, ‘you’ll be the first African family to attend this school’. “So for the first two years I resisted calling Geelong home, even though there were so many places and parts of the community that I fell in love with. And then after I turned 10 I couldn’t resist it any more.” Akec said the female experience was as important a theme in the book as that of being a migrant. “I think a lot of Sudanese households are sort of matriarchal, and in my family there’s always been a very strong female presence,” she said. “I grew up very protected by a community of women. So it was only natural to write Hopeless Kingdom in a way that’s very centred around women when that’s what I grew up around; that’s what’s shaped me, that’s who I am.” Akec works at Somebody’s Daughter Theatre Company, where she started as an artist in residence before being offered a full-time position.

The company works with women in prison, children who struggle to fit into mainstream schooling and women who live in disadvantage, often as a result of their experiences in the prison system. “Mainly I work there as a performing artist, and the director, Kharen Harper, has been trying to get me to write since the start,” Akec said. “But when I started working with them I wasn’t very confident in my writing skills. Through working with them, and with the people in the community, it built my confidence. “I’ve been very inspired by the braveness of the kids and the women we work with. To write their own stories, what they’ve been through, then get on stage and act it out in front of a group of people … it’s been inspiring.” Akec hopes that Hopeless Kingdom resonates

with the broader Geelong community as well as migrants and women. “It still feels like a pinch me moment, not just because this could propel my career, but because it could be something that’s going to impact people from my communities,” she said. “And when I say my communities, I’m fortunate to say that I’m part of the SudaneseAustralian, African-Australian community, and I know this book is going to make them feel seen and heard. “But I’m also part of the Geelong community, and in the book there are a lot of scenes set in and based around Geelong. “I hope that people from or who have a connection to Geelong can see themselves in those pages as well. I just hope that I make people from my communities proud.” Kgshak Akec’s Hopeless Kingdom goes on sale Monday, August 1.

or 25-year-old debut author Kgshak Akec, releasing her novel Hopeless Kingdom and receiving the Dorothy Hewett Award for her work still doesn’t seem real. “I’m beside myself; I feel like someone is playing some sort of cruel joke and they’re going to call me tomorrow and say ‘Sorry, there’s been a mistake, this is not really happening’,” she said. Penning the award-winning novel was initially an act of introspection for Akec, who never envisioned it would receive such an overwhelming response.. “When I began writing Hopeless Kingdom it was a very selfish act, I wrote it for myself and to pay homage to my mother,” Akec said. “I was at an age where I was doing a lot of self-reflection and seeing all the parts of me that existed because of her. I thought we were the only two people on the planet who would read it. “It was my way of writing out the thoughts and feelings in my mind to understand them.” Akec said as she continued to write, she realised the book could be something more than just a private project. “As time went on, I realised it was so much bigger than myself,” she said. “I thought about how important it could be for other young migrants, other Sudanese or African kids, to see a story like this and see themselves reflected in it. “It touches on so many important issues that are hidden, because our voice as first-generation Africans in Australia is so new and so young.” Hopeless Kingdom is a coming of age story that follows the experiences of young Sudanese migrant Akita and her mother Taresai as their family relocates to Geelong. Akec’s novel explores themes of trauma, racism, the feminine experience, and the search for acceptance in an adopted society, issues that are deeply rooted in Akec’s experiences as a migrant, a girl, and a woman. “I was born in Sudan and I was three when the civil war broke out,” she said.

Corio Norlane op-shop re-opens By Matt Hewson After nearly four weeks of hard work the mood was triumphant at the Lions Club of Corio Norlane Opportunity Shop grand reopening on Tuesday morning. The op-shop was forced to close for repairs after sustaining serious water damage to the roof, ceiling, walls and stock due to heavy storms in April and May. After receiving a sum of money from insurers to repair the damage, store manager John McKinnin and Robert Eyton of Lions Club of Lara decided to spearhead the project to completely overhaul the shop. Mr McKinnin said he and his Lions Club colleagues had canvassed all their friends and families to pitch in to tackle the huge job. “Thanks to all the volunteer labourers from Lara and our own club we’ve managed to get the whole shop painted, new ceiling, new carpet and new shelving,” Mr McKinnin said.

The sense of community in our northern suburbs is marvellous - Peter Murrihy

’’

“This could never have happened without the volunteers, their commitment and the work they put in.” Once the renovation plan was agreed upon, Lions Club members worked hard to solicit and organise volunteers to tackle the work. “The insurers gave us some money and we managed to stretch it out and do everything else, with the help of the volunteers and donations,” McKinnon said. New shelving worth over $800 was supplied by Bunnings, while Dulux also donated $400 worth of paint. Mr McKinnin said work had continued right up until the eve of the grand re-opening. “We worked until 6 o’clock Monday night,” he said. “We only just finished laying the tiles, hanging the last of the curtains and setting up the knick-knacks on the shelves. It’s been four weeks of solid going.” Geelong mayor Peter Murrihy was on hand to help celebrate the occasion, as was Lions Club district governor Lee-Ann Anselmo. “It’s wonderful to see the business re-opened; it wouldn’t have been possible without this group of like-minded people willing to work for the benefit of everybody,” Cr Murrihy said. “The sense of community in our northern suburbs is marvellous, and never more on display than it is here.”

This winter, there’s no better place to be than beneath the iconic North Geelong smokestack, within a century-old red-brick boiler house at Federal Mills. An electric atmosphere and powerful local history have been reignited by chef Andy Symeonakis of Kingsleys Steak and Crab House, Hellenic Republic and the Lorne Hotel. Andy and the team at 1915 serve up top-notch, locally-sourced modern Australian fare that reflects a Greek heritage combined with Mediterranean flavours. The venue name, ‘1915’, celebrates the year in which the Federal Woollen Mills was first opened as the largest manufacturer in the region. The soaring two-storey conversion of a heritage-listed boiler house is a sight to behold, with original exposed brick, industrial features and an impressively high vaulted ceiling. An iconic window façade is the centrepiece

for the split-level space with a ground floor, mezzanine and adjoining roof deck. You’ll find a cocktail bar on each level, mixing in-demand signature concoctions, such as Powerhouse Spritz, or the more decadent White Chocolate Passionfruit Martini – these are not to be missed! 1915 is perfect for intimate dinners, long table celebrations, cocktail catch-ups, and everything in between. The venue also has the capability to host up to 550 of your nearest and dearest for birthdays, weddings, or special celebrations of any size. With over 400 free car parks on site, the 1915 team looks forward to your next visit. 1915 is located at PH2, Federal Mills, 33 Mackey Street, North Geelong. The venue is open for lunch and dinner, seven days per week. Bookings are recommended and can be made via www.1915.com.au or 0499 33 1915.

Meet the Principal

SECTION

Anna Negro Anna completed her secondary education at Sacred Heart College Geelong and remembers the school as a happy place where kindness and compassion were reflected in the business of each day. She returned to the school as a teacher and held numerous senior leadership positions including Subject Coordinator, Year Level Coordinator, Deputy Principal – Mission and Deputy Principal - Community Liaison, before being appointed Principal in 2013. For Anna, Sacred Heart College nurtures the minds of young students while nourishing their soul. As technology and workforce demands drive exciting advances in the delivery of education, Anna sees her role as Principal as leading the collaboration, creativity and optimism needed to make that change happen. She believes teachers play a special role in giving their students hope for the future where success is measured by the contribution they make to their community - wherever that may be in the world.

Glenn Davey Glenn Davey has been in the government education system for almost 50 years; 20 of those years as a Principal, with the last 10 years as Principal at Geelong High School. The school’s long-standing motto, Vitae nos Parat means “it prepares us for life” and it remains as valid today as it did in 1910 when the school was founded. Perhaps even more so. According to Mr Davey, the challenges faced in the first 40 years of his career, pale into insignificance compared with the challenges of these last few years. At no time has it been more important for schools to provide a clear sense of purpose and direction, and to work closely with their communities to prepare students to meet these challenges. Parents and families are looking to schools to provide support for their children’s learning and wellbeing, in equal parts. What has compounded the challenges over the last few years, according to Mr Davey, is the growing inequity in our society. As inclusive schools, government schools play a valuable and unique role in addressing these inequities. At Geelong High School we are proud of the fact that, regardless of family circumstances, students get a high-quality education that enables them to aspire to their career of choice. We have outstanding teachers who deliver a high-quality learning program that is differentiated to the student’s point of need. Our students, in turn, respond positively, showing great resilience and perseverance, and remain strongly committed to developing caring and respectful relationships.

MOTOR

Ford Mustang maintains muscle USED CAR CHECKOUT Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Ford Mustang has been a big success on the Australian market and I see them pretty well every time I’m on the road. We will cover the Mustang from December 2015 when a new model was introduced in this Used Car Checkout. It comes in two versions, coupe and convertible, powered by either a 5.0-litre V8 or four-cylinder 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine, the former is typical 20th century gas guzzling muscle machines, the latter Ford’s provides environmentally conscious modern motoring. The 5.0-litre V8 featured lessons learned in developing the special-edition 2012 Mustang Boss 302. The result is a boost in power to 306 kW and 530 Nm of torque. The addition of the 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine introduced turbocharging to the Mustang powertrain line-up. The geometry of the EcoBoost intake manifold and turbocharger housing being optimised to provide higher output – 233 kW and 432 Nm of torque. Six-speed manual transmission provides smoother shifting than previous Mustangs, while the automatic has steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and downshift rev-matching. Steering feel is nicely weighted with just the right heft for keen drivers of high-performance machines. The four-cylinder EcoBoost engine is short and sits well back under the long bonnet. It pretty well straddles the front axle area so provides excellent balance. The front seats are laterally supportive but lack of rear legroom puts the Mustang into 2+2 territory. The front seat passenger can share leg space with someone behind them, but unless the driver is short whoever sits

The 2016 Ford Mustang; and 2020 Ford Mustang Mach 1.

behind them may feel a bit cramped. A selection of driving modes can be called up by flicking a switch on the central console. Normal offers a balance between comfort and performance; Sport+ provides more responsive steering and throttle response; Track allows the engine to respond directly to the driver’s input, while reinforcing the sporty engine note; and Snow / Wet keeps the car in touch with adverse road conditions. Convertible cabin wind turbulence was isn’t too intrusive with the top down, with the body strength coping well with lateral and twisting forces. January 2018 saw Ford Australia launch what it called, ‘The Fastest Mustang Ever.’ The 5.0-litre V8 engine was thoroughly reworked to develops 450 horsepower (339 kW). This was achieved with the first application of Ford’s dual-fuel, high-pressure direct-injection and low-pressure port fuel injection. The result is solid low-end torque, high-rpm power, and improved fuel efficiency. Peak torque is now 556 Nm. At the same time the mildly revised 2.3-litre EcoBoost unit developed 300 horsepower (224 kW). It had nine Nm more

(Pictures: Supplied)

torque, now 441 Nm. The biggest news for 2018 is that there’s a new 10-speed automatic, which is available with both Mustang engines. It has a wide-ratio span between first and tenth, faster shifts and optimised gear spacing to keep it at peak torque, and fast response. Steering wheel-mounted shift paddles give drivers manual control. The six-speed manual gearboxes were upgraded to handle the added torque on both engines. Mustang’s engine note could be adjusted. An active valve exhaust system is standard on all GT models. Four modes are available: Normal, Quiet, Track and Sport. Visually, there’s a lower, remodeled bonnet with air intakes in new positions and revised upper and lower front grilles. But it still looks very much like a Mustang. Revised shock absorbers make for better ride control, while a new cross-axis joint in the rear suspension leads to increased lateral stiffness. The stabiliser bars have also been revised

What to look for A professional inspection really is a must of a

car like the Ford Mustang. As is a full service history, preferably at a Ford dealer. A Mustang that has been thrashed may have serious rear tyre wear and lots of brake dust. Perhaps you’re best to steer clear of that car. Check the fluid on the automatic’s dipstick. If it smells burnt and looks dark, that’s another sign of hard driving. The 10-speed auto seems to stand up better than the six-speed. Convertibles are generally water tight, but it still pays to look and feel for dampness in the carpets as on open-top Mustang may have been caught with its top down in the rain. Look for signs of previous crash repairs, wrinkles in the panels when viewed end on, mismatched paint colours and overspray on unpainted parts. If there’s too much turbo lag on the 2.3 EcoBoost there could be electronic tuning problems.

Players push through wet LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers With play on Saturday left to the worms due to rain, Tuesday’s Midweek competition players were hoping for better conditions, and while the day was particularly cold, the rain stayed away allowing most matches to be completed. Things remain close in Section 4 Midweek after round three with only six points between first and sixth. Surfcoast Bellbrae hosted Ocean Grove this week, and in a topsy turvy match, Bellbrae came out with a one-game win, closing in on fourth position, with the gap now only being percentage. Bellbrae started the day well with Kerryn

Viner and Judy Harvey taking the first set 6-4 and Nyree Baker and Ann Cooper the second 6-1. The third and fourth sets were close with Bellbrae taking the third 7-5, but Phillipa Hendry and Jackie Moore put Grove on the board taking the fourth 6-4. Although Bellbrae was in the box seat, Ocean Grove wasn’t going to let it have its own way, and fought to level the match at three sets all, winning the final sets 6-4, 6-2 but one game short of the win. The second match of the day saw Portarlington push itself to the top of the ladder with a 6-0 win over eighth placed Eastern Districts, while the third match scheduled at Surfcoast Torquay was not played

due to too much rain over the week, leaving the courts waterlogged. In the final match Moolap travelled to Point Lonsdale in a match with an outcome that was almost identical to the first. The home team started well taking the first two sets with Tamara Gaylard and Louise Window winning 7-5 and counterparts Jane Molphy and Clare Ireland victorious 6-3. Felicia Johnston and Rita Nelis took the third set 6-4 for Moolap, while Lonny’s Window and Ireland took the fourth 6-2. Johnston and Marilyn Wyllie hit back for the visitors taking the fifth 6-4, and Nelis and Joy Abrahams the final set 6-3 resulting in a two-game win at three sets all to Point Lonsdale.

Joel Selwood will play his 350th game tomorrow night.

Whiting and calamari prove popular targets ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos King George whiting and calamari have been popular targets across the Bellarine Peninsula with plenty of reports coming through. Both species have been in fantastic numbers and the further around the peninsula you head the better the fishing seems to be. Calamari have been fishing very well around the high tide with the cleaner water coming in and the average size is seeming to slowly increase. Size 3.0 and 3.5 jigs have been working well with natural green and bright pink jigs working best. Another lethal tactic for chasing squid is to leave one out the back of the drift under a float. This is super effective and helps get those few extra fish. Whiting have been chewing very well also in similar areas to the squid, the run out tide as the water dirties has been the best time to chase them. Fishing with squid or pipis with the aid of burley in a cage on the bottom has been working the best with over 40cm and bag limit captures on offer. Offshore Barwon Heads has been on fire again this past week with gummy sharks on the chew right along the coast. The 30 metre line continues to be the most productive zone. Nicholas Mrak cracked his first gummy on the weekend weighing in around the 12kg mark. The fish was caught on a salmon strip bait. The west coast barrel bite has continued to produce plenty of fish over this past week despite the below average weather. Port MacDonnell is still holding the title for the number one location with plenty of fish over 100kg being weighed in nearly daily (weather depending). The Barwon River Estuary is still fishing very well for estuary perch, salmon and trevally with the Sheepwash and surrounding areas producing the most reports. Casting small soft plastics and vibe style lures have been working very well, even deeper diving hard bodies like OSP Dunks or Daiwa Spikes are well worth throwing around. Lake Purrumbete was red hot over the weekend with salmon, redfin and trout all biting well. Chinook salmon have been chewing well on the troll and to anglers doping pilchards into a thick burley trail. Brown trout have been on the atrol along the shallow weed edges. Andy Whitford landed a trophy trout (4.1kg) on a Daiwa double clutch while trolling the early hours of the morning.

350 games for inspirational leader Joel Selwood will become the first Geelong player to reach 350 games when he runs out against Western Bulldogs at GMHBA Stadium tomorrow night. Selwood’s decorated career began in 2006 when was drafted at number 7. His 72.5 per cent winning percentage (253-1-95) is the best winning percentage among current players with a minimum of 50 games. He is fourth all-time in most wins played (253) behind Michael Tuck, Shaun 28 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 29 July, 2022

Burgoyne and Kevin Bartlett and first among active players. Selwood is the longest serving captain of all time, leading the Cats in 238 games and seems certain to bypass Dick Reynolds for the most wins as skipper. They are tied at 159. “I’m actually not sure how to put it,” Selwood told Cats Media this week. “A couple of weeks ago when Scott Pendlebury made the milestone and I saw how big the occasion was for the Collingwood footy

club, it made me understand that it’s probably going to be bigger than I thought. “[And] I appreciate that others will enjoy it too. “I’ve always understood how old the footy club is, I’ve loved that aspect of it. I barracked for the Cats as a kid but never dreamt of going on to play this many games, but the journey has been so fun and I think that’s what has made it all go so fast and enjoyable.” Geelong goes into tomorrow night’s game on top of the ladder and a clear flag favourite.

Sixth straight win takes Swans into third spot South Barwon moved into third place on the Geelong Football Netball League A grade ladder after a convincing 71-33 win over St Mary’s. Goal shooter Ellen Doyle continued her hot run of form, shooting 60 goals to lead the Swans to their sixth straight victory. Doyle has been a focus point for South Barwon throughout the season, shooting 40 goals or more every game since round 9. Swans coach Jordee Nichols said while Doyle was “fantastic every single week”, she was particularly happy with the performance of her young defensive group. “Our defensive end are really young, and they’ve been working really hard at training,” she said. “We’ve got Maddie McKiernan, who plays for City West Falcons in VNL, but she’s

also come up through South Barwon since under-13s, as has Caitie Kennedy, and we’ve got Georgia Corbett as well. “On the weekend they had somewhere between 15 and 20 intercepts, which is unreal, so I was really impressed with our defensive effort.” Nichols said her team was starting to come into its own after a period of rebuilding. “When I got asked to coach last year I knew we were going to be pushing a lot of our juniors through and it was going to be pretty tough for a couple of years,” she said. “But I think the girls have surprised themselves, they’ve honestly been unreal. Last year was a real learning curve for them, we lost a couple of really close ones by just a couple of goals due to inexperience.

“But after having that season under their belt they’ve just absolutely flown this year.” Nichols said despite the one-sided scoreboard the match was a hard-fought battle from start to finish. “We may have won by 35, 40 goals, but it didn’t feel like that on the court at all,” she said. “St Mary’s are always pretty consistent for four quarters and they’re very competitive on the court, so we knew we had to play well to take that game.” The Swans have the bye this weekend before playing their last three games against Leopold, Bell Park and Colac, a run home that will test the young side. But Nichols said she was looking forward to the challenges the last three games will pose. “I prefer to play tough teams on the run

Big haul for Ocean Grove Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club’s women’s inflatable rescue boat (IRB) teams have returned from the Australian IRB Championships in Mollymook, New South Wales, with one gold, one silver and two bronze medals. The teams, comprising Emily Bambrook, Georgia Cashin, Orlagh Davison, Gabrielle Hannan, Drew Honey, Mackenzie Hooper, Keely Peatling, and Oliver Sullivan were crowned Australian champions in the open women’s tube rescue (Davison, Hannan, Peatling), brought home silver in the open women’s mass rescue (Bambrook, Cashin, Davison, Honey) and bronze in the under-23 women’s tube (Davison, Hannan, Hooper) and open women’s teams rescue (Bambrook, Cashin, Davison, Hannan, Peatling, Sullivan). Ocean Grove was joined at the Australian Championships with fellow Geelong-Surf Coast teams Barwon Heads 13th Beach, Lorne and Point Lonsdale to compete against clubs from around the nation. Bambrook, Davison, Honey, Hooper, Peatling and Sullivan were also selected in the Victorian state and development teams, which saw the nation’s best drivers, crews and patients selected to represent their state in the Interstate Championships, also run at Mollymook last weekend. Victoria finished in second place with 49 points, narrowly behind winning state Queensland, with 51 points. In addition to athletes, 17 officials were selected in safety and emergency management, judges, supervisors, starters, appeals, competition liaison, announcing, powercraft and scrutineering roles, including locals Charlie Bidgood (Point Lonsdale) James Carew (Lorne), Lisa Happ (Bancoora), David Pownall (Ocean Grove), Sam Ranson (Barwon Heads 13th Beach) and Graham Rice (Lorne). Life Saving Victoria education, sport and club development general manager Kate Simpson congratulated athletes and officials alike for their efforts on the national stage. “Victorian lifesavers have a fantastic record of outstanding results at the Australian IRB

home,” she said. “I think it’s important, especially now the win against St Mary’s means we’re definitely in the finals. “We beat Leopold pretty convincingly last time but I don’t think that’ll be the case this time. They’re very strong and their coach is amazing, so they’ll have done a bit of research on us. “And having Bell Park and Colac to end is pretty tough, but I’d prefer that, to be honest.” Nichols said the mood in the team was buoyant as finals approached. “I’m very, very proud of the team,” she said. “We’re just a big group of best friends, and they play their best when they’re enjoying it, laughing and having fun out there together. “It’s really great to see them all out there smiling and dominating at an A grade level.”

Devils haven’t given up hope for finals push Corio netball coach Shayna Brown wishes the season could just go for a few weeks longer given the form her side is in. The Devils are only an outside chance at making the Geelong District Netball League finals, but are in red hot form and fresh from a win against seemingly finals-bound Werribee Centrals. Corio must win its remaining three games and hope either Bannockburn or Werribee Centrals lose all three to have any hope of an unlikely finals campaign. Brown said had the season gone a few extra weeks, her side was primed to make a serious tilt at the flag, although she hasn’t given up all hope just yet. “We’ve gone back to normality a little bit, I wish we had a longer season,” she said. “With our performance being where it’s at now, I wish there were six or seven rounds to go instead of waiting half the season before we decided to get a couple of wins. “It’s probably a bit too late unfortunately.” Corio’s win on the weekend was achieved with the game in the balance at every change. Only a goal separated the Devils from Centrals at each of the first three breaks. But Corio pulled away to win by four with Zoe Donne keeping star shooter Ellie Tubbs quiet, Molly Gribble creative through the centre and Ally Bamford brilliant at goal attack. “It was a very good win especially in the wet,” Brown said. “We’ve been building each week, we’ve finally got a full squad. “It’s always a shock to beat Werribee because they are quite an intimidating club. They are tall and big and both ends. “The girls had faith and I had faith and it was probably the first time we have played four solid quarters and the fact we did it in the wet was even better.” With Werribee being a taller side, Brown said it was a tactic to keep the ball low. “Werribee are a bit taller so we used the ground a bit more, especially at the circle edge,” she said. “We just played to our strengths and realised they weren’t that great in the wet and kept building. In the end we had them with about five minutes to go.” Justin Flynn Friday, 29 July, 2022 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 29

Tough run home for Thomson By Justin Flynn Thomson kept its finals hopes flickering with a superb come from behind win against Winchelsea in Geelong District Football League on Saturday. Thomson kept the Blues goalless in the second half and turned around a 27-point half-time deficit into a rousing 17-point triumph. The Tigers are in sixth spot on the ladder with 10 wins, the same as fifth-placed Geelong West Giants and a game behind Bell Post Hill and Bannockburn. However, Thomson faces a nightmare run to end the home and away season and will meet the top three sides starting with second placed East Geelong this weekend, third placed Bannockburn in round 17 and top of the ladder Inverleigh to finish. Coach Paul Lynch said his side can only control what it can control. “Our destiny is in our own hands, we’re not hiding from the fact that we have to play well,” he said. “If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best as they say.” Lynch said his side couldn’t convert in the first half on Saturday despite having repeat forward 50 entries and controlling the tempo of play. “We just found it hard to score,” he said. “They (Winchelsea) were extremely efficient when they went forward. “I try to coach without looking at the scoreboard and I thought we had control but just couldn’t score. “Credit to Winch, I thought they set up really well behind the footy and that part of their game is as good as anyone in the comp.” At the long break, Lynch decided to go with a smaller forward line in the wet conditions. Andrew Mead-Harding kicked six of Thomson’s seven goals and spearheaded his side’s second half showing. “He handled the conditions better than anyone else and was the difference in the end,” Lynch said. “We’ve been using him in the midfield. He’s hard to match up on. He’s very strong and smart when it hits the ground.” Thomson was also well served by centre half

back Stephen Salajan who Lynch said “kept pumping the ball foward”. Speedy midfielder Lleyton Thulborn played his first game for the season and was damaging. “He took six months to work in the mines and played his first game back,” Lynch said. Thomson faces a tough assignment this week against East Geelong. “They’re a very good side,” Lynch said. “I think they have been the best side we’ve played. Every game we’ve had opportunities to win, but East Geelong did

beat us by 30 and controlled the game pretty much the whole day. “They are quick and use the ball well. “We are a big bodied midfield side. We’re pretty physical and rely on our tackling pressure and grunt around the footy. “We don’t have a lot of leg speed on the outside but we’re good at contested footy.” Lynch said Thulborn’s inclusion would help with his team’s outside run. North Geelong did Thomson a favour and upset Geelong West Giants by two points with

Tom Davis best afield. Bell Post Hill strengthened its finals aspirations with an upset 21-point win against East Geelong with Tim Barton starring. Bannockburn had no trouble with Anakie, winning by 94 with Kane Ettridge best on ground. Inverleigh defeated Belmont by 109 points with Casey Meehan on fire, booting five goals. Werribee Centrals overcame North Geelong by 35 points with Bryce Linehan-Cunnigham’s four goals a major factor.

St Mary’s triumphs in thriller against Swans St Mary’s prevailed in a classic mid-winter battle on the weekend, defeating visitors South Barwon by the smallest of margins to remain two games clear at the top of the Geelong Football League ladder. The Swans took the lead early on and led for most of the match before St Mary’s held them to a single behind in the last quarter, the home side winning 10.11 (71) to 10.10 (70). St Mary’s captain Jack Blood booted three for the victors while Harry McMahon and Jarryd Garner added two each. Midfielder Garner also received coaches’ votes for best on ground for his work in the contest all day. “Jarryd’s a mature, big body, so the conditions suited someone like him,” said St Mary’s coach Glenn Keast. “And he’s in great form at the moment, he and Maxwell Augerinos both had really strong games in the midfield.” Keast said though his side had trailed for much of the day in the difficult conditions he and co-coach Travis Robertson were reasonably confident of their side’s ability to turn the game around. “It was a little bit easier to score down one end, and we were kicking that way in the fourth quarter,” he said. “In the third quarter we were quite confident 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 29 July, 2022

that if we could hold the gap to about two goals we could get up. “Then they kicked a goal on the three-quarter time siren, which made it three and a bit goals. “That made it a bit of a challenge, the ball was heavy and scoring in general was pretty hard, but we were confident if we could defend well and not let them score much we’d kick

enough goals to win, which is how it played out.” In a late change to the schedule, St Mary’s round 16 game against St Joseph’s will now be played the week before the finals on Saturday, August 20. Joeys have won five of their last six games and currently sit in fifth spot, making the

matchup potentially critical for both sides come the end of the home and away season. But Keast said the scheduling change was, if anything, beneficial to his side. “It wasn’t a planned bye, but we should hopefully finish top now, so it’s probably a good thing,” he said. “By finishing top we’ll have the first week of finals off, so we didn’t really want to have two weeks off in a row leading into our first finals game.” Colac held on to second place with a victory over Leopold, streaking away after a tight first half to win 13.8 (86) to 7.12 (54). Third-placed Newtown & Chilwell dominated against St Albans at home, Lachlan Bond kicking six goals to lead his team to a 104-point win. Bell Park celebrated their fifth win of the season, claiming the four points against North Shore 11.10 (76) to 7.8 (50). Grovedale’s finals hopes grew dimmer after an away loss to St Joseph’s, the sixth-placed Tigers now falling two games behind the Joeys in fifth. Geelong West Giants broke free from Lara in the last quarter of their matchup, winning by 26 points after going into three-quarter time with a margin of just one goal. Matt Hewson
