Former Highton cyclist Jess Gallagher is riding high after winning two gold medals at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. The Paralympian and her sighted pilot Caitlin Ward kicked off a gold medal rush for the Aussies on day one of the Games. Gallagher and Ward then teamed up to claim gold in the tandem time trial B. The 36-year-old is the only Australian to have won a medal at the summer and winter Paralympics, and was competing in her second Commonwealth Games. ■ Story: Page 29

Rally for housing action By Matt Hewson Organisers for Geelong Housing Action Group’s (GHAG) rally and march for Homelessness Week 2022 hope to atrract a large crowd in Geelong’s CBD. The rally, on Saturday, August 6, begins at 12.30pm in the Little Malop Street Mall, and aims to help spread awareness of the growing problem of homelessness in Geelong. After hearing from a number of guest speakers the rally will march through Yarra, Malop and Moorabool streets before returning

to the mall area. GHAG co-convener Heather Iveson said homelessness was something that threatened many people, especially since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Homelessness was a massive issue before COVID, and since the pandemic has begun to impact people who probably wouldn’t have been impacted before,” Ms Iveson said. “One of our goals as a group is changing the thinking around homelessness, changing the stigma that’s still there, that people somehow choose this.

“There’s a real misconception around who is homeless and who it threatens. This is on many people’s doorstep, it’s a very near possibility for many, many people. “I’ve met a lot of people who, sadly, have since died because of homelessness, but we don’t really hear about it here in Victoria. There’s a real hush-hush about the impact of homelessness here, and a lot the general public don’t know about because they don’t work in these kinds of jobs or see it directly for themselves.” GHAG is a small, independent group that

maintains distance from any particular political cause, and Ms Iveson said she hoped more people could get involved with bringing attention to the issue of homelessness. “We don’t have funding, we don’t take donations, for us it’s really about shifting people’s thinking and lobbying ministers and councils,” she said. “We’re a small group of people of different genders and ages, but we’re really aware there’s a lot of scope to have a broader cross-section of people in terms of ages. We’d really like to see more young people coming on board.”

Bank closure is ‘disrespectful’ By Justin Flynn The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) is being urged to reconsider closing its Drysdale branch, with Corangamite MP Libby Coker slamming the decision as “disrespectful of customers”. Ms Coker said the closure was a bitter blow for the people of Drysdale, coming in the wake of the National Australia Bank (NAB) closing its Drysdale branch earlier this year. “I’m very disappointed to hear news of a second bank in Drysdale closing,” Ms Coker

said. “The Drysdale CBA is an important branch for many in that community. The closure will particularly impact the elderly, and those who are less skilled at on-line technologies. There are times people need to go into a branch for personal assistance. “Many local businesses will still want to continue doing their weekly or daily banking in Drysdale. To announce that the Drysdale branch will now become part of the Ocean Grove Branch is not only impractical, it’s insulting. I am also concerned about the future of the staff.”

CBA regional manager David Castle said the closure was a “difficult decision”. “This branch has had transactions drop by a third over the five years before the coronavirus pandemic,” he said. “We’ve redeployed the vast majority of staff from branches that have closed. Our people from Drysdale branch will be offered redeployment opportunities, including roles supporting customers over the phone and online, or other comparable roles where it suits them. “We recognise some senior customers

prefer to do their banking face-to-face and this is one of the reasons why CBA is proud to maintain the largest branch network in the country. “We’ve ensured customers who prefer over-the-counter service still have access to this option. For Drysdale customers, we have other branches in the region at Ocean Grove, Geelong, Geelong West and Belmont. We’ve found a quarter of customers from Drysdale are already visiting these other branches.” The branch will close on Friday, September 9.

One thousand new trees for koalas

A project spearheaded by Koala Clancy Foundation has planted 1000 ‘koala trees’ on the northern slopes of the You Yangs to help the species thrive. The trees were planted by 50 volunteers on Sunday, July 31 and finalised a huge three-year project. The volunteers included City of Greater Geelong councillors Anthony Aitken, Belinda Moloney and Ron Nelson, alongside a host of keen tree planters. Koala expert Janine Duffy said a total of 8987 koala habitat trees have been planted by Koala Clancy Foundation at the Mount Rothwell Homestead property since 2020.

- Janine Duffy “The trees planted include river red gum, red box, yellow box and the endangered Melbourne yellow gum,” she said. “The planting can be seen from Little River-Ripley Road, near Mount Rothwell Road. “Volunteers from Melbourne, Geelong, Sydney and Canberra planted 1000 trees in record time. “After we finished planting, we walked through the trees planted in 2020 and 2021. Some of the two-year old trees are already big enough to feed a koala. “The group then took a walk in the You Yangs to see the koalas that will benefit from this planting.” Funding for the massive planting came from a City of Greater Geelong Environmental Sustainability Grant in 2021, and from the Tourism Authority of Thailand in 2021 and 2022. Thailand’s Ambassador to Australia, Busadee Santipitaks, was one of the volunteers. “It was wonderful to see how passionate and dedicated Janine Duffy, president of the Koala Clancy Foundation, has been to protect and create a habitat for koalas,” Ms Santipitaks said.

The Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race will remain in Geelong and on the Surf Coast for at least the next three years. Tourism, Sport and Major Events Minister Steve Dimopoulos announced the state government is backing the event until at least 2025. Receiving the highest possible sanctioning from the world governing body Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the elite men’s and women’s road race have been confirmed as WorldTour events for the next three years. The four-day festival will return next year from January 26 to 29 and will also feature curtain raiser event the Race Torquay criterium as well as other events for the public to enjoy. “This is great news for cycling fans and even better news for Victorians, with a new pillar in our major events calendar drawing international cycling superstars while showcasing the state to audiences across the world,” Mr Dimopoulos said. “With tens of thousands of visitors making their way to Geelong and the Surf Coast, the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race is a win for local businesses and for local jobs.” The race is named after Cadel Evans AM, who won the Tour de France in 2011 and lives in Barwon Heads. “I can’t wait to welcome the world’s elite cyclists and thousands of visitors back to my hometown,” he said.

Deakin’s dream film agreement Deakin University has signed a landmark partnership agreement with Dreamscreen Australia, with the organisations to work hand-in-hand on virtual film production projects. Deakin intends to complete a new, state of the art virtual film production studio in Geelong by March, 2023, for the start of trimester one, and under the new deal will provide exclusive access to Dreamscreen. The studio, into which Deakin has already invested $3 million, will feature 683 ROE Black Pearl LED panels that will form a 26 metre by

six metre wall once assembled, making the Geelong site the biggest university-owned virtual production studio in Australia. Dreamscreen’s production credits include Los Angeles-based drama ‘La Brea’, Australian bushfire miniseries ‘Fires’ and the Melbourne romance drama ‘Love Me’. Deakin Unversity vice-chancellor, professor Iain Martin, said the agreement was a “significant gain for Deakin”. “It will enable our students to be exposed to some of the most exciting film production technologies globally and cement Deakin’s

standing as a digital leader,” he said. “Deakin’s investment and the partnership with Dreamscreen means we have led the market in taking the initiative to build a world-class production studio that will be the envy of universities globally.” Under the new partnership Deakin film, animation and design students will have access to 25 industry placements worth a total of 2500 hours annually to work on Dreamscreen projects. Faculty of Arts and Education executive dean, professor Vanessa Lemm, said Deakin

students would have a unique opportunity to get hands-on experience working alongside industry professionals. “At Deakin we make it a priority to prepare our students for the workforce by equipping them with the skills they need to succeed in their chosen careers,” she said. “Not only will our film and animation students get to work with the best, cutting-edge virtual production technology, but they will also get to learn from industry professionals who are at the top of their game.”

Skate park set for $600,000 facelift “The Waurn Ponds Skate Park was constructed in the late 1990’s and has long been a popular meeting and active space for community members throughout that southern part of Geelong,” Cr Murrihy said. “Victorian government support in making this project a reality is greatly appreciated as we know it will be a terrific asset to a region that has really taken off since the initial skate park was built.” After two rounds of community consultation through 2021, the new skate park design will recreate the most popular features of the existing site while adding

Extra EV charging stations The City of Greater Geelong has secured a grant to install new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at two of its depots. Two dual port 22.5kW EV chargers – with the capacity to charge up to four vehicles simultaneously – will be installed at both Belmont and Corio depots. The city received a $48,000 grant from the Victorian government to help deliver the infrastructure, via the EV Charging for Council Fleets program. The program awarded grants to 26 Victorian councils, and plans to install about 120 private EV charging stations at 57 council sites across Victoria by May, 2023. Councillor Stephanie Asher, chair of the sustainability performance portfolio, thanked the state government for its support in helping the city embrace sustainable transport and

cleaner fuels. “Council is investing in more electric vehicle charging technology, to help meet the demands of our growing carbon-neutral fleet,” she said. “We want to transition our light fleet to net zero within five years, and encourage the community to increase its use of EVs.” There are already five dual port charging stations across Belmont, Corio and Drysdale depots, which help run six electric vans. While there are a further three EVs soon to be delivered, the city is preparing to order up to 10 more EVs in 2022-23. Recently released provisional figures indicate that the city’s operational carbon emissions dropped by an estimated 30 per cent in 2021-22. Emissions have been slashed by more than 50 per cent since June 2017, on the back of a range of clever and creative sustainability initiatives.

South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman said the state government was committed to providing safe and innovative recreational sites for communities. “This skate park upgrade will support young people in our community by revamping this popular meeting place for scooter and skateboard riders,” Mr Cheeseman said. The skate park’s half-pipes will remain open for use for the duration of the upgrade.

The popular Waurn Ponds skate park will be redeveloped over the next nine months. The upgrade, which is expected to commence in late August and be completed by March, 2023, will be funded by a $600,000 investment by the City of Greater Geelong and a $1.34 million grant from the Victorian government’s Sport and Recreation Victoria Community Sport Stimulus Infrastructure Program. Greater Geelong mayor Peter Murrihy said the redevelopment would ensure the much-loved community space would continue to be enjoyed for years to come.

Optometrists and audiology professionals are joining forces to remind Geelong labourers, tradespeople, and home DIYers to be vigilant of looking after their eyes and ears to avoid long term damage. August is Tradies National Health Month and the warning comes after new research commissioned by Specsavers Australia revealed that 60 per cent of tradies are putting their hearing and eye health at risk by not wearing protective equipment at work. There are 32,398 technicians, tradespeople, labourers and machinery operators in Geelong, 60 per cent of which are not taking the preventative measures to look after their eyes and ears, the report said. On top of this, those that consider themselves ‘weekend tradies’ or do it yourself professionals, are also not prioritising their ear and eye health. Of the 73 per cent of Australians who do handy work around the house (mowing the lawn, gardening, painting, DIY projects with power tools), 61 per cent admitted to not wearing hearing and/or eye projection. “We can’t stress enough how important it is to look after your hearing and your eyesight,” Geelong Specsavers audiology professional Monica Jones said. “Once you lose it, there is no getting it back. However, there are preventative measures you can take and it’s even more important for our tradies to be taking these precautions as their working environments make them more vulnerable to experiencing damage to their hearing and sight.” Preventative measures included wearing earplugs, earmuffs, sunglasses or safety goggles, Ms Jones said.

Stories of hope amid darkness The conversation around domestic violence and abuse has been steadily gaining momentum over the past decades, and depictions in popular media have reflected the tragedy and misery of the issue. Matt Hewson spoke to author Franca Di Pietro about her novel that tackles the issue.

hen Franca Di Pietro began working on the idea that would become her first novel, ‘Life with a Psychopath’, she knew that not only did she want to tackle the topic, she also wanted to bring a sense of hope and positivity to the book. “I’m so interested in the topics of stalking, obsession, domestic violence, and I really wanted to get important messages out there to people,” Di Pietro said. “It’s really topical at the moment and I thought it’d be a great idea to write about somebody involved in a relationship like that. “A lot of books I’ve read around this topic focus on all the bad things that happen. And that’s discussed in my book as well, but I wanted this to be a positive message to people involved in this sort of situation, or who know somebody who is. “So I haven’t made it too dark. I don’t want to give too much away, but this story’s more about triumph.” Di Pietro, who has been in love with writing since primary school, originally conceived the novel as a collection of short stories loosely based on people’s experiences she’d observed and heard anecdotally.

‘‘

It could happen to me, a friend, a family member, anybody. She’s aware of what’s happening to her, she just doesn’t know how to get out - Franca Di Pietro

’’

But as her work gathered steam around the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, she decided the ideas could work even better combined into one compete story. “I was inspired to write about this by knowing people that have been involved in relationships like this, things I’ve witnessed,” Di Pietro said. “It’s been a work in progress for about four years. I started writing it in dot points, looking at people’s situations and turning fact into fiction. “In 2020 I started to get a bit more serious, and I thought, I can probably grab all of that information I want to get out there and turn it into a novel. “I thought that if it was all about one character people might be more interested in it, more likely to read it and maybe get the help they need.” Di Pietro will hold her first author talk on Thursday, August 11 at the Corio Library, and said she is thrilled about the event. “I am feeling slightly nervous, but also very excited as well,” she said. “I’m looking forward to talking about what motivated me to write the book, about the characters and their behaviours, the meaning of the cover of the book. And I’ll do a few readings from it as well. “I’ve got a couple of library talks coming up, but when I approached Geelong Regional Libraries they were the first ones who were interested. “It’s been difficult getting library talks because of COVID, a lot of places are doing stuff online. They’re not having in-person stuff or they’re just starting them up, so it was really good to have Corio Library say ‘come on board’.” During the presentation Di Pietro will delve into her process as a debutante writer and especially her experiences with the publishing side of the industry. “The publishing process, finding a publisher, working with an editor, getting people to review your work, going on 6 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 5 August, 2022

sale, marketing your work, it’s a really big process,” she said. “I was totally unaware of that, being a new author. And it’s not until you go out there and start doing your research that you find out about all this stuff. “When you start you have these big dreams of writing a book, marketing it to a bunch of publishers and getting a traditional contract. “But there are so many ways to publish your book nowadays, which I think is a really positive thing, especially for new authors.” Di Pietro had nothing but praise for the publishing company she landed with, Sid Harta Publishers.

“Sid Harta specialises in new authors, so basically you go through the entire process with them,” she said. “They assess your work, you work with a senior editor, they do cover design with you, give you a proof-reader, source people to review your book, all of that. “It was all there for me. I would really strongly recommend Sid Harta to new authors because that learning process for me was gold.” Ideally, Di Pietro hopes her book can help people in domestic abuse situations find the help they need. “These situations are quite common, but a

lot of people don’t talk about it for a mixture of reasons. The main character Carmella can represent every woman, that’s part of the message,” she said. “She can be anybody. It could happen to me, a friend, a family member, anybody. She’s aware of what’s happening to her, she just doesn’t know how to get out. “At Corio Library I also want to touch on the support services that are out there for people and the organisations that offer support for people in domestic violence situations.” Register your interest to attend Franca Di Pietro’s author talk at Corio Library at https:// events.grlc.vic.gov.au/event/6673751.

Idyll wines win big in New York For the second year running, Geelong’s Idyll Wine Company has been awarded a gold medal at the New York International Wine Competition for one of its signature red wines. Idyll’s Arcadian cabernet sauvignon collected a gold, while the Arcadian shiraz won silver and the merlot received a bronze medal. The suite of awards consolidates the medals Idyll wines won last year at New York when the Idyll Victoria cabernet sauvignon and shiraz won gold and silver, respectively. This year’s New York competition received

over 1400 submissions from 24 countries across 50 different categories, and Idyll’s head of sales James McDonnell said the awards showed that wines in the region could compete with the best in the world. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase what the team here is capable of,” he said. “It’s great, not only for Idyll, but also for the region. It brings a bit of a spotlight to Geelong wines and those of the rest of the region as well. “There’s a significant level of competition

there and it’s great for the region to have something taking out gold.” Mr McDonnell said one of the distinguishing features of Idyll wines was the combination of high quality and low price point. “I think that we very much over-deliver for our price point, that’s one of the main points of difference for Idyll” he said. “At $10 a bottle you’ve got top quality wine that’s been winning accolades across the world that can be enjoyed at any occasion. That’s a pretty amazing offering, really, and one that we’re proud of.”

Mr McDonnell praised all Idyll’s 140 staff members, saying the awards were the result of the hard work of the entire team throughout the pandemic. “We’ve been very lucky that the team out here, in all aspects of business, we all work really closely together,” he said. “The communication between the teams has been excellent, whether it be production, wine-making, or admin, or sales and marketing. We’ve been very fortunate that the teams in every aspect of the business have been so strong.”

Enjoy a sweet serenade Orchestra Geelong has announced its Concert Two for 2022, ‘A Sweet Serenade’. Arranged by conductor Janice Wilding, the show includes a range of pieces from Sally Greenaway, Deborah Cheetham, Johann Bach, Frantz Schubert and Antonio Vivaldi. “We are excited to present a mosaic of musical delights to serenade our audience at this concert,” Ms Wilding said. “The diversity of this program is sure to provide highlights for everyone.” Orchestra Geelong will also be the first to perform the Wadawurrung Acknowledgment of Country. ‘Long time Living Here’ was composed by Deborah Cheetham OAM and, with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO), was developed as a musical Acknowledgement of Country for nation languages across Victoria. Orchestra Geelong has been granted permission from the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Corporation to play, for its inaugural performance, the Wadawurrung

Acknowledgment of Country ‘Long Time Living Here’. Language for this Acknowledgment of Country is supplied by Wadawurrung woman Corrina Eccles through the Wadawurrung Aboriginal Corporation. “Orchestra Geelong exists to bring music to our community,” orchestra president Dean Cronkwright said. “We are very proud to be able to share the Wadawurrung musical Acknowledgement of Country with our community for the very first time. We thank the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners for gifting us this opportunity.” Orchestra Geelong will be performing with the talented and accomplished soloists Maximillian Rudd on guitar and Edwina Sekine on violin. Orchestra Geelong will perform ‘A Sweet Serenade’ on Sunday, August 14 at CA Love Hall, Geelong High School. Details: trybooking.com/events/landing/899125

The challenges the global pandemic has presented in the past two-and-half-years have been profound. Regardless of a person’s age or social standing, all of us have felt the effects of COVID. I feel particularly for our youth, who have been robbed of so much during this time. But what I have been struck by throughout all of this is just how resilient the younger members of our community are. This was reinforced at last month’s council meeting, when deputy junior mayor, Angelle Mackay, presented the Youth Council’s quarterly report. Angelle spoke with such passion and authority, and she is a wonderful person to have representing us. I saw Angelle interview Annabel Crabb as part of International Women’s Day recently and thought she did an extraordinary job. It made me realise how fortunate we are as a region to have such outstanding young leaders, who are all emerging in front of our very eyes. The report that was presented detailed some of the achievements of Youth Council and addressed additional opportunities via

recommendations such as the introduction of a bin beautification project and a soft-plastic recycling system for the home. In its regular meetings, Youth Council has identified that providing equitable and safe spaces for young people, supporting a dedicated youth space in central Geelong, and improving the mental health and wellbeing of youth, are clear areas of importance.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the 2022 Youth Council on all of its achievements so far – and I am sure there will be many more to come. Angelle and the other members are all extremely intelligent and capable young people who represent the diverse perspectives of the youth across the region tremendously. The group has identified genuine priority areas and it is great to see younger members of our community advocating for their peers and pushing ideas that have the potential to bring about real change in our region. As councillors we are grateful for the input Youth Council has in the broader decision-making process and for the insights they provide about a section of our community that we should really be hearing more from.

Non-finalised pleas at Geelong County Court have remained level on 26 between January 27, 2020 and January 27, 2021, with 80 pleas finalised between those dates. The Productivity Commission’s Report on Government Services (Justice) shows that pending criminal matters in the Magistrates Court of Victoria have increased by 82 per cent from 2014-15 to 2019-20. The Magistrates Court of Victoria did not provide caseload statistics on Geelong Magistrates Court in response to the Independent’s inquiries earlier this week. Attorney General Jaclyn Symes was contacted for comment.

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.”

New mobile capability for police Geelong will receive a new Mobile Policing Unit (MPU) that police say will be integral in helping police tackle crime hotspots, manage critical incidents, and lead large scale search and rescue efforts and responses to natural disasters. From the exterior, a MPU looks like a large, heavily branded Victoria Police minivan, while inside the unit is fitted out with the necessary infrastructure to provide officers with the same level of access to critical information as they would have at a station. Police will use these units, which include an

external electronic message board, to target crime hotspots – deploying them to areas of concern to serve as a strong visual deterrent for would-be offenders. The roaming police units may also be deployed to neighbourhoods or public locations where serious crimes have occurred, reassuring the community that a heavy police presence is in the area to prevent further offending from occurring. “Our Mobile Policing Unit will be deployed as a crime fighting and community reassurance tool in a number of locations

across Greater Geelong,” Geelong and Surf Coast Superintendent Peter Ward said. “These locations will be determined based on police intelligence and feedback received from the community, ensuring people not just are safe, but also feel safe. “The MPU will also be a pivotal part of the police response to a number of major events across Western Victoria over the back half of this year, including Schoolies, Falls Festival, Meredith Music Festival, and managing the influx of tourists along the Surf Coast over summer.

“These vehicles are the definition of a ‘jack of all trades’ and will prove a critical modern policing tool to assist our officers in tackling crime, interacting with the public, and keeping the community safe. “In any given week, these units may appear at a crime hot spot to deter offending, be deployed to a critical incident such as a siege, serve as a coordination point for large-scale search and rescue operations in remote areas, or be based at a major sporting event or music festival.”

Report urges increased funding for lung cancer associated with smoking,” Mr Brooke said. “That’s clouded and influenced funding allocation from government and the perception of the broader community for many, many years now. There is no doubt there are favourite cancers and those that garner greater public sympathy are treated better. Not only is that unethical, but it’s inequitable, too. “This is the country’s leading cause of cancer death and we hope the new Albanese government will support people with lung cancer.” Geelong grandmother Jenny Pickering, 67, was diagnosed last year with incurable stage four lung cancer after 10 months of undergoing multiple tests with various specialists. Mrs Pickering, who has survived a previous incident of breast cancer, said her experience of the two different forms of the disease could not be more different. “When I had breast cancer 25 years ago nobody questioned that,” Mrs Pickering said.

“But now, I get the obvious questions, and my answer is always to say, if you’ve got lungs you can get lung cancer. It’s last thing you want to hear, and to feel, that you’re being blamed.” Mrs Pickering said a screening program and specialist nurses would have transformed her experience even if it hadn’t changed the outcome. “I feel that the screening is so, so important, and if it had been done first up for me it may not have made any difference to the outcome, but I wouldn’t have had 10 months of anxiety, discomfort and pain,” she said. “With breast cancer, there’s no question about screening, you just do it. And the specialist breast cancer nurses are just amazing, they support not only the patients but their families as well. Why would we not provide all of this for lung cancer patients? It’s killing more people than any other cancer in Australia, and I just can’t understand why it’s so difficult for the government to see that.”

The Lung Foundation Australia launched a new report on Wednesday urging the federal government to redress the disparity in funding between lung cancer and other cancers. According to the report, ‘The Next Breath: Accelerating Lung Cancer Reform in Australia 2022-2025’, stigma associating lung cancer with smoking has resulted in systemic gaps in lung cancer prevention, diagnosis and prognosis. The report makes six recommendations to the government, foremost of which are investment in a broad lung screening program and increased funding for more specialist lung cancer nurses. Lung Foundation chief executive Mark Brooke said he had no doubts the comparably poor funding of lung cancer screening and support was directly linked to the stigma surrounding Australia’s deadliest cancer. “We know that lung cancer is widely misunderstood in the community, and a a consequence it’s really suffered from the stigma

Local hero finalists announced The finalists for the 2022 Westfield Local Heroes community recognition and grants program have been announced. Now in its fifth year, the program has selected three finalists for each Westfield centre, shining a spotlight on role models whose work makes a positive impact to their community or environment. The successful hero for each centre will be awarded a $20,000 grant for the group or organisation they represent, and each finalist will receive a $5000 grant for their group or organisation. “Through the Westfield Local Heroes program, we continue to recognise and acknowledge people who have made a lasting impact on the future of our local community,” Westfield Geelong centre manager Lauren Frew said. “It’s with great pleasure that we announce our three 2022 finalists and encourage our community to vote and help us discover our 2022 hero.” The three finalists are:

Karen Knuckey, Story Dogs Go-getter Karen Knuckey and her dogs Penny and Libby have found their calling as volunteers with Story Dogs, a charity that helps students who are struggling to read. Reading to a non-judgmental dog helps the children focus and build their reading confidence. The charity is flourishing in Geelong thanks to Karen, who has built up a 24-strong volunteer team.

Kerry Johnson, Encompass Community Services Resourceful Kerry Johnson has gone above and beyond in her role at Encompass Community Services to start a new initiative that provides 10 local families a week with home basics packs of bed linen, pillows, towels, pots and pans.

MY GEELONG Mac Fox is a Jan Juc local and is front and centre of Mac Fox Performance Coaching. He speaks to Justin Flynn about his town.

What do you like about where you live? I love everything about Juc. Growing up I loved everything about sport and I was lucky enough that my house is literally a slog-sweep from the Juc oval so I spent the majority of my childhood in the nets batting and bowling over summer and then trying to kick bananas from the pockets all winter. I also spent a large portion of my life in the ocean. I started surfing when I was about three and still get in the water up until this day. We are so lucky here to have waves that range from beginner to world class. As you got older you sort of just progressed your way from wave to wave, it’s actually the perfect coastline for surfing. What I loved most about growing up in Jan Juc though, was my mates. We never had mobile phones or anything but all you had to do was walk down to the Juc milk bar or footy oval and you would bump into a whole group of your mates, an instant game of footy or cricket would often emerge from that. These days I’m more drawn to the trails and tracks around town for running purposes. I do the majority of my training around home so I’ve got some pretty cool loops that never get old, amazing views and a great variety of hills and flats. What, if anything, would you change about where you live? I really want to push for an athletics track in town. Maybe not in Juc, but I reckon we could get one in Torquay and I reckon the community would really benefit from it.

The Commonwealth Games are coming to Victoria in 2026, and the Olympics to Brisbane in 2032. A great time to start getting young kids inspired and into athletics. Where is your favourite local place to spend time? You’ll often find me drinking coffee in my spare time at Swell Cafe. Having a quiet beer with my mates at the Beach Hotel Jan Juc, or walking my dog Dusty along one of our beaches. Tell us something people would be surprised to know about you. I didn’t get my driving license until I was 21. I was lucky enough to have a lot of supportive friends, and I still owe a few lifts to be fair. It’s been the theme of my life as I couldn’t tie my shoelaces until I was seven, fitting now that I’m a runner and all I do is tie shoe laces up. I don’t like to rush into things I guess. Tell us about Mac Fox Performance Coaching and how long you have been doing it for. Late last year I launched the business. It sort of came about pretty quickly. One night I was scrolling on my phone and received a message from a footballer who was looking to improve his running in the off season as he knew I did a bit of running and I was working as a strength and conditioning coach. From that moment it just clicked and I said to myself I’ve gotta get this thing up and running. I decided on the name and just started off with a couple clients on a weekly basis and have just built it up from there. I now run multiple group sessions a week, individual sessions, as well as write running and strength programs for athletes of all abilities.

What’s your connection to Jan Juc? Jan Juc is where I grew up and still currently live. Growing up I had my mum (Julie) my dad (Darren) as well my sister May and brother Cole. I’m the oldest of the kids.

The Guide REBUILDING NOTRE-DAME WITH LUCY WORSLEY SBS, Friday, 8.30pm

PICK OF THE WEEK

Most historians don’t live a glamorous life, with many spending their days sitting in a quiet room writing books, or lecturing apathetic uni students. But British historian Lucy Worsley (pictured) has forged her own path as an illustrious TV presenter, fronting more than 30 specials. This latest adventure follows Worsley as she engages with the scientists, historians and craftspeople working to restore Paris’ most famous 850-year-old Gothic cathedral after the catastrophic 2019 fire. GRANTCHESTER ABC TV, Saturday, 7.30pm

All together now: Alan Brough, Myf Warhurst and Adam Hills return for a new season of Spicks and Specks. SPICKS AND SPECKS ABC TV, Sunday, 7.40pm

For a show that packed up shop all the way back in 2011, Spicks and Specks has somehow managed to keep the “band” – Adam Hills, Myf Warhurst and Alan Brough – together over the years, with specials and reunions galore. Now, it triumphantly returns with its 10th season. As one of the most-watched shows on the ABC, Hills says they’re back to support the music industry after the perils of the pandemic to give it “a leg up by showcasing some of the best new musicians Australia has to offer”. In tonight’s homecoming, singer Casey Donovan, comedians Rhys Nicholson and Bec Charlwood and Polish Club’s Novak play the musical quiz.

On paper, Grantchester is a British detective drama about the unlikely crime-solving partnership between a priest and a cop. But once you fall into the clutches of this entertaining British confection, you’ll you ll stay for its sublime ublime aesthetics. Even the most stout atheist is forgiven for finding god when faced with the impossibly good-looking, motorcycle-riding priest st Will Davenport (Tom Brittney, pictured).

WINTER DINING

Please and thank you: proper table manners Anyone watching cooking show contests is likely to notice some diners’ penchant for licking food from their knives – and will either judge them to bits or shrug with indifference. Most people fall in the former category, either finding it gross or a big no-no in the table etiquette stakes. Back in the day, table manners were considered super-important and all sorts of weird rules applied. These days, things are thankfully much more relaxed but a few non-negotiables remain when it comes to

table etiquette. If you don’t want to be looked down on – or even put people off their food – it pays to take heed. Here are five of the most telling table rules and ones to live by: 1. Never lick your knife. Don’t even do it at home because you may forget and do it in public. Delete the habit if you have one. 2. Always wait for the whole table to be served and ready before beginning to eat – unless there’s general agreement that that rule be waived.

3. Don’t use phones or devices at the table. If you must take a call, excuse yourself and go somewhere else. 4. When food has been eaten, always leave your knife and fork parallel to each other and in a roughly north-south position. This alerts wait staff that you are finished and also signals good manners. 5. Cloth napkins should be laid on your lap not long after you’re seated, and roughly folded – not scrunched – and placed beside – not on – your plate when finished.

6. Acknowledge wait staff and treat them with respect. Staff are people too and are just trying to do their job. Give them acknowledgement such as a smile or nod if they fill your water glass, and thank them when they bring your meal or clear your dishes. Remember, the wait staff you deal with are generally not those that make decisions regarding food, prices or the dining environment, so be sure to not direct any undue negative feelings toward staff.

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.

ENTERTAINMENT

Enjoy a wild night out By Justin Flynn A comedy by three mums who delve into the trials and tribulations of parenting is headed to Geelong. ‘Mums Gone Wild’ by Perth mothers Pony Knox, Emma Krause and Simone Springer promises everything from breastfeeding to tinder dates, ADHD to UDLs and anything in between. “This is by far our favourite show because it gets so loose,” Pony Knox, who has family in Colac, says. “It’s a fun show, it’s always different.

‘‘

Parents walk away knowing that we are all in this together and we’re all struggling - Pony Knox

’’

“It’s three comedians and three mums who all have a completely different life experience. “One of them is recently divorced, one of them is dating and myself, I’ve been in a very long-term relationship with a fly in, fly out husband. All of our lives are very different. “We love travelling together and love doing shows together.” The show has evolved over the years as the three comedians’ children have grown from toddlers to teenagers and new parenting challenges have presented themselves. “We talk a lot about our failures, but it’s also a celebration,” Pony says. “Parents walk away knowing that we are all in this together and we’re all struggling. “I have two in high school and I feel like I’ve just finished breastfeeding so my material and my take is changing as the

kids are getting older.” Pony says the show is for all parents, not just mums. “For the men it’s such a great way to have a laugh,” she says. “We talk a lot about our relationships with our partners. It’s so nice for the men to get an insight into how we are

thinking. It is such a great way of getting to know your partner.” ‘Mums Gone Wild’ is at Buckey’s Entertainment Centre, Breakwater on Friday, August 12 at 8pm. Details: events.humanitix.com/mums-gonewild-geelong

Pastry inspires ‘Lost in Venice’ Julie Foenander traces the conception of her play ‘Lost in Venice’ to a specific moment when she was making a pie some years ago. Ms Foenander, member of Raconteur Productions, cabaret and circus show performer, and former stage magician, had always known that her grandfather was a good friend of Pampas Pastry founder Bert Haynes. “Every time we went to the supermarket and saw Pampas pastry my mum would say, ‘Oh, you know your grandfather was best friends with the man who invented that, and he died in Italy’,” Ms Foenander said. “I was making a pie one day with Pampas pastry and I decided to Google it. And there’s nothing about the history of Pampas pastry, the brand or the company, or what happened to the person who invented it. And I thought that was really strange.” Thus began a journey that Ms Foenander describes as “like opening Pandora’s box”; she heard many stories about the men and their lives and discovered footage and slides of the trips her grandfather and Haynes went on, which feature heavily in the play. “It really delves into the relationships between men and women, between men and men, and women and women, and also Australian culture back then compared to Europe.” ‘Lost in Venice’ will be performed Saturday, August 6 at the Potato Shed, Drysdale.

Surf Coast Shire will retain a “non-urban break” between Torquay and Armstrong Creek, according to a planner.

The eldest daughter of missing Bannockburn mother Lorrin Whitehead has put her on top of a wedding guest list, hoping she will be on her bridal table. Ms Whitehead, born in 1971, disappeared without trace from Bannockburn in February 2013, leaving behind five children and prolonged years of heartache.

Behaviour is worsening in Geelong’s troubled citymall, according to traders. They spoke out this week after police posted on Facebook images of four young men who were wanted over a violent, roaming brawl in the city centre.

The survivor of a freak skydiving accident in Torquay has taken his first steps just days after the terrifying fall.

MOTOR

More kit a plus for Nissan X-Trail By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring Those who thought Nissan’s long-standing popular sports utility vehicle would trail away into oblivion were mistaken. The mid-size X-Trail came to Australia more than two decades ago with little fanfare but won the hearts and wallets of those searching for soft-road versatility. Now, Nissan has announced a new fourth generation X-Trail for Down Under in the second half of 2022. In the meantime, to celebrate 20 years here, the Japanese company has refreshed the MY22 model range with the addition of a new ST+ variant. Available in two- or four-wheel drive, the ST+ slots in between the T and ST-L grades and offers around-view monitor with moving object detection, front and rear parking sensors, and satellite navigation above the ST. On test was the two-wheel drive variant selling for $34,140, plus on road costs. All-wheel drive adds $2000 to the price. There are seven-seat X-Trails but the ST+ makes do with five.

Styling Little is added over the styling of the 2017 updated X-Trail. The ST+ sports daytime running lights, body-coloured power folding / adjusting mirrors with integrated indicator and rear roof spoiler. Rolling on 17-inch alloy wheels, the ST+ could might well be any of the popular rivals in this range.

Interior Flexibility is the catchword in seating, with a second-row 40 / 20 / 40 split fold, sliding / reclining bench and creative cargo area.

Infotainment

Safety

Apart from the addition of satellite navigation, carried over are Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, digital radio, Bluetooth and NissanConnect with voice recognition and control. Things get under way with intelligent key and push-button engine start and stop.

The new X-Trail ST+ is sold on the addition of an all-round-view monitor with moving object detection, plus front and rear parking sensors. Carried over from the ST are six airbags cruise control, anti-skid braking, electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist, forward autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, vehicle dynamic control and hill start assist. Unlike with some rivals, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring or rear cross-traffic alert are absent until a shift up range. And there’s no adaptive cruise control.

Engines / transmissions The Nissan X-Trail comes with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine in manual ST grades, and with an up-specced 2.5-litre unit in other variants. The 2-litre develops 106 kW of power and 200 Nm of torque; the 2.5-litre motor 126 kW and 233 Nm. All the latter, in two or four-wheel drive, are mated with Nissan’s Xtronic constantly variable transmission with manual mode.

Driving The 2.5-litre engine is offered across the range and performs efficiently without stressing the

CVT (or driver). Ride and handling are mid spectrum for this kind of car. There’s no ignoring body roll on some tight turns. Wind and road noise are par for this class of car. Nissan claims the two-wheel drive ST consumes 7.9 litres of 91 RON regular unleaded petrol per 100 kilometres on the combined urban / highway cycle. The ST+ on test clocked 11.1 litres per 100 in the city and 5.2 litres per 100 kilometres on a motorway run, which is roughly in line with the maker’s combined claim. The X-Trail carries a 60-litre tank. The boot is impressive, with room for 565 litres with the second-row seat-backs up. Fold these and the volume expands to 945 litres. A variable height floor creates a compartment with dual capacity. A space saver spare is situated under the floor. The cabin is far-from cramped, even with tall occupants in both rows. Headroom is made to match. Rear air vents are a boon on hot summer days and map pockets can be found in front seat backs, while the centre arm rest folds down to expose cup holders. While instruments and controls are where they are to be expected, they do hark back to earlier days, especially with the X-Trail’s 7-inch touchscreen. The archaic foot-operated parking brake has seen better days and the lack of auto air-con and windscreen wipers also stands out.

Summary The X-Trail comes up against the likes of the well-respected Toyota RAV4 and the Mitsubishi Outlander and is only months away from being made redundant by the next generation Nissan. On the other hand, there could be some attractive deals in the offing on soon-to-become superseded models.

Warriors eye promotion By Janakan Seemampillai North Geelong Warriors are one win away from promotion back to the top tier of Victorian football for the first time since 2017. The top of the table Warriors host fith-placed Bulleen Lions at Elcho Park in the second last round of what has been an enthralling 2022 Victorian NPL2 season. If other results go their way, the Warriors may already be guaranteed promotion by the time they kick-off, and they may even be playing for the league title. The Warriors success this season has been nothing short of remarkable. With one of the lowest playing budgets in the league and with a plethora of local young talent, the Warriors under local coach Stuart Begg have taken all before them. Skipper Ryan Opperman, who grew up in Geelong, believes team spirit and dedication

North Geelong Warriors are on the cusp of playing top tier football next season. (Facebook)

has been the key to success in 2022. “Success is gained through hard work, sacrifice and togetherness,” said Opperman, who has been at the Warriors for the past five seasons. “One thing can’t happen without the other, and we know as a team we have to

be strong collectively. “We have strengthened our team this year and every member of the team has been required to step up at some point to support their team mates. “We treat it like any other game, we know if we show up we can beat anybody in the league. We have to be confident in ourselves and the result will take care of itself.” What has been even more remarkable about the Warriors’ season is they lost two of their star players from 2021 before a ball was kicked for 2022. Last year’s best and fairest winner Luka Skoko won a contract with Croatian second division club Dugopolje, while another local talent in Nicholas Volarevic moved to Croatian third tier club Primorac Stobrec. They also lost one of their most gited players in Luka’s young brother Noa, who also moved to Croatia ater round 15.

Race to the mixed finals gets tight LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers Things are getting tight in the race to finals in Tennis Geelong’s Section 4 Mixed, with the gap between second and fith narrowed from 10 points to six with three rounds to go. Top of the table Cliton Springs-Drysdale hosted third-placed Newcomb in a tough encounter. Nicole Nicholls and Jack Lane started the day well for the combined team with a 6-1 win, but Barbara Pecher and Jacob Pianto countered for Newcomb in the second set marathon 7-5. Despite a sore shoulder and recovering from illness, Pecher and Dianna Spork took the women’s 6-4 for Newcomb, while the Bellarine men, Lane and Andrew Vlahovic, got up 6-2. With only one game separating the teams going into the reverse mixed, the win was up for grabs for both teams, but the home team showed why they lead the field taking both sets 6-2 and 7-5 with Jack Lane winning his three sets for the day, and the team extending their lead at the top. Fith-placed Hamlyn Park improved its finals chances with a 4-2 win over second placed Drysdale at home. In bright sunshine Drysdale took an early lead winning the first two sets, with Isabella Saunders and Darren Humphrey getting through in a tie-break, while Ria Palmateer and Gus Saunders had it a little easier taking their set 6-1. From there Hamlyn Park lited its game with Alice McDonald and Anne Schulz winning the women’s 6-4, Matthew Morgan and Nash Moed the men’s 6-1, then Liz Watt teamed with Morgan to win 6-2 while Schulz and Moed wrapped up the win taking the final set 6-0. The final match of the round saw Grovedale travel to Torquay to take on Surfcoast, and with only four points separating the two teams, both teams were keen to do well. Grovedale took an early lead with Nicole Pertzel and Steve Grass taking the first set 6-3, and teammates Diane Ambrus and Lin Zhang taking the second 6-3. The visitors continued their good form in the doubles winning the women’s 6-1 and the men’s 6-3. Leanne Heath and Peter Haysham put Torquay on the board with a win in the fith set 6-3, but that was the best Torquay could do with Grovedale taking the final set 6-0, and the match five sets to one.

ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos Windy conditions this past week have caused a bit of a feeding frenzy inside the Geelong waterfront with a large variety of species on the chew. Anglers fishing either landbased or from a boat have been getting stuck into snapper, salmon, flathead, trevally, tailor and snotty nose trevally. Sot plastics yet again are proving to be the most effective technique with Berkley Powerbait Grubs and Nemesis being the standouts. Anglers fishing with bait have also been having some great success with pipis on a running sinker rig proving irresistible. King George whiting remain on the chew right across the peninsula. Grassy Point has been having some good reports coming in with anglers finding bags of fish up to 40cm. Around the corner, St Leonards and Queenscliff have again been the standout locations if you’re chasing a feed of whiting. Calamari reports have started to come in for the big ones inside the Queenscliff bight, still not quite the time of year we typically see them come in with big numbers but it’s great to see some fish starting to show up there. Size 3.5 jigs are the must have and in faster moving tide, an additional jig weight is a handy piece of tackle to have on you. Silver whiting on a squid spike is an old but very proven method to land the big ones, probably the best. Taking a variety of jigs and baits is a great habit to be in when fishing spring time for big calamari in the bight. If you are landbased, then casting off Bell Reef behind the football field is a great spot to fish. Lake Bullen Merri has been a hotspot for land based anglers this past week with the east side of the lake holding fantastic numbers of tiger trout, rainbow trout and chinook salmon. Fishos casting long distance lures such as spoons and Tassie devils have proved lethal over the past few week. Bait fishing has also been getting plenty of bites with glassies and powerbait doing well, the ultimate is live minnow caught from the lake. The west coast barrel bite has still been going strong with plenty of reports from right across the coast from Apollo Bay right through to Port Mac. Trolling 8-10” skirts have been doing most of the damage with live bait and divers picking up fish also.

Giants secure fifth spot By Matt Hewson Geelong West Giants A grade netballers had a huge win against Bell Park on Saturday, positioning themselves well for a top five finish as the home and away series enters its final phase. The Dragons battled hard as they tried to keep their own finals hopes alive, but the Giants put in a strong second-half performance to win 58-51 and overtake St Joseph’s and take fifth spot. Giants coach Jill Leader said she was pleased with the way her side had clawed its way back into the ascendancy after falling behind early in the match. “We were really happy because the last time we played Bell Park we ended up with a draw,” Leader said. “I was really pleased with the fact that we stuck to our guns and our gameplan and played four consistent quarters, which meant we were able to get on top of them and come away with a good win in the end.” Two turnovers in the first quarter gave Bell Park the opportunity to grab the lead, and the Dragons’ accuracy through the first half allowed them to maintain a one-goal lead at half time. “Bell Park’s scoring efficiency was really high, so at half time I told the girls we need to keep doing what we’re doing, applying pressure and being ready for the turnovers,” Leader said.

“They couldn’t shoot 100 per cent all game, so we had to be ready for the rebounds, ready for the opportunities. And we were; when we got those opportunities we made sure we scored on them. “It was one of those games where we had to have our wits about us for the full 60 minutes. It was a great team effort and a fantastic game by both teams, a really high standard.” Giants goal keeper Rachel Leader celebrated her 200th senior game with the club, which Leader said had inspired her side to dig deep and get the victory. “Rachel had a really steady game, picking up all those rebounds and loose balls when we needed it, and the team really rallied around

the fact that it was her 200th game,” she said. “It’s a huge milestone within our club and I think it lifted us, we really wanted to get the win for Rachel. She’s been with the club since she was 11, so it was a big day.” Leader also praised her attacking midcourt combination of centre Jessica Leader and wing attack Alahria Smith. “The last time we played Bell Park their centre court had a bit of an edge on ours,” she said. “This time we played a bit smarter, and Jessica and Alahria really controlled that attacking end of centre court. “[Goal shooter] Aleisha McDonald and [goal attack] Rachel Palmer-Brennan were really good too, they shot at 88 per cent for the game, which is incredible.” The Giants now sit two points above sixth-placed St Joseph’s, who they’ll face this weekend in a season-defining match for both sides. “It’s been close every time we’ve played Joeys in the past four or five years, so we’re expecting the same this week,” Leader said. “They’re defensively very strong, Tori Honner in goal defence is the player you have to watch. She’s extremely talented and capable of turning a game around by herself. “It’s an exciting end to the season, seeing so many competitive sides going for that top five. It’s a really healthy competition in A grade this year.”

Gold for Gallagher Former Highton cyclist Jess Gallagher’s remarkable sporting career continues, claiming two golds at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. The Paralympian and her sighted pilot Caitlin Ward kicked off a gold medal rush on day one for the Aussies. The 36-year-old is the only Australian to have won a medal at the summer and winter Paralympics, and was competing in her second Commonwealth Games. Competing in the tandem match sprint B, Gallagher and Ward won the final two races to nil against Scotland. The pair then teamed up to claim gold in the tandem time trial B. The pair had only been racing together since February. “Caitlin and I came here wanting to deliver our best performances and to race the way we have and to see it culminate in two gold medals and two Australian records is extraordinary,” Gallagher told the Independent. “It’s a very special feeling to work towards a goal and see it come to fruition.” Gallagher only returned to competing in cycling earlier this year after three years away from the sport. In that time she focused on rowing and she made her international debut on the water for Australia in May. Gallagher said the results at these games were something that she thought was possible despite training for two sport. She said it was still sinking in. “I knew it would be hard and challenging but I always believed I had the potential to come back into the sport and perform,” she said. “It has been such a busy year as a member of both the Australian rowing and cycling teams with the Commonwealth Games a major goal for cycling and to think we are now finished and to have performed to the level we did is more than I could have hoped for. I think this experience will take a while to sink in.” These games have seen both able and para athletes competing in the one competition. Gallagher said was special any time she represented Australia.

“Any time you represent Australia is a privilege and for me personally it means a lot to know that my performances on the track can have a positive impact on others whether that be our able bodied team mates, the general public and for me most importantly people

with disabilities,” she said. “To showcase that you can be the best version of yourself in whatever setting you may choose, for me one of those ways is through sport.”

The Eagles are flying high East Geelong continued its push for the minor premiership with a hard-fought win against Thomson in the penultimate round of Geelong District Netball Association on Saturday. The Eagles sit a game behind top side Winchelsea, but have a superior percentage. If Winch slips up in the final two rounds, East Geelong is poised to take top spot and the week’s rest in the first round of the finals. But coach Justine Radford isn’t overly keen on claiming the minor premiership, although if it comes her way, she won’t knock it back. “To be perfectly honest, first place is not super helpful,” she said. “It’s a great accolade and something to be proud of and whoever gets it should be proud, but I think it’s important for the girls to have that experience in the first week of finals with a finals crowd. “We’re just happy to be in the top five. If we finish second or third or first, we’re happy to be there.” The Eagles defeated third-placed Thomson, 43 to 31 at the weekend, increasing their lead slightly at each break after being four goals up at quarter time. The versatile Ash Cushion was best on court, excelling in a variety of positions from wing attack, goal attack and goal defence. “It was definitely really important to have Ash with us on the weekend,” Radford said. “Steph (Boyce) had a niggle in her knee and didn’t play the second half so it was good to have Ash there. “It doesn’t seem to matter where I place her, she just gets the job done.” Alanna Cottrill and Claudia Cook controlled centre court and gave their goalers plenty of opportunities while Molly Neeson was superb in defence. “The girls (Cottrill and Cook) really stood up and they took the intensity from Thomson and flourished in a four-quarter effort,” Radford said. “Molly is going from strength as the season goes on. She’s consistent, has a great reach over the ball and is one of our most determined players.” East Geelong will start favourites in its final two games. The Eagles host ninth placed Inverleigh tomorrow and finish with sixth placed Corio in the final game in what will be a tough task against one of the in-form sides of the competition. Winch meets seventh placed North Geelong and then fourth placed Werribee Centrals. “We’re very fortunate in both A and B Grade to come up against tough opposition,” Radford said. “The gap between top and around seventh or eighth is really closing.” Justin Flynn

Lions clinch a dramatic victory By Matt Hewson Leopold secured a place in the GFL finals after a dramatic come-from-behind win over the Tigers at Grovedale last weekend. The Lions fell behind early after captain Marcus Thompson won the toss and elected to kick against the breeze, and despite controlling much of the play in the second quarter went into the half-time break trailing 5.4 to the Tigers 6.5. Grovedale capitalised on the wind advantage again in the third quarter to push the margin out to 26 points, but a fourth-quarter blitz from Leopold saw the visitors keep the Tigers scoreless and snatch the victory, winning 11.12 (78) to 10.5 (65). Lions coach Garry Hocking said he and his team had achieved one of their season’s goals by guaranteeing themselves finals football. “I think that’s any team’s target, to qualify for finals and maybe create a chance for premiership success,” Hocking said. “That’s what we wanted when we first came together at the start of the season, to get back

to playing finals. “We’ve ticked the ‘qualify’ box and we’ll use the next two weeks against South Barwon and North Shore to try to get ourselves going and build momentum.”

Jai Thompson, who celebrated his 200th game for the Lions, was named best on ground for his role in the midfield, and Hocking had nothing but praise for the former premiership captain. “He had a big impact around the footy and throughout the game with his ability to win the ball in tight, in the contest,” he said. “He’s a stoppage beast. The centre square was quite muddy, you didn’t know who was who in there at some points. “But his ability to stick his head over the footy and get the ball going our way was significant, and decisive for us in the end.” Hocking said his players had rallied around Thompson and were determined to come away with the win for the midfielder’s milestone match. “I reminded them, have Jai in the back of their mind with any contest, any spoil you go for because it’s his 200th,” he said. “It was a significant milestone for him and the footy club, so for us it was all about Jai and making sure we honoured him with a win.” Hocking said he hoped his players would

reverse their trend of starting slowly and take the last quarter energy into the beginning of this week’s game against South Barwon. “All year we’ve been the best fourth quarter team, but for us it’s all about trying to have a better start to a game,” Hocking said. “I think we haven’t been on our toes early enough in games, so the whole message this week will be about taking last week’s fourth quarter into this week’s game. “South Barwon will be playing for pride, they’re a talented and well-coached team so we’ll need to be on our toes.” Newtown & Chilwell had a decisive victory over North Shore to get within four points of league leader St Mary’s, who had a bye on the weekend. Geelong West Giants came back from two goals down at half time to beat Bell Park at home by 26 points. Lara claimed its second win of the season, defeating St Albans 13.9 (87) to 4.12 (36), while South Barwon, Colac, St Joseph’s and St Mary’s round 16 fixtures have been deferred to Saturday, August 20.

In form Panthers claim their second big scalp A Luke Mann goal after the siren kept Bell Post Hill’s top three hopes alive and handed Inverleigh just its second Geelong District Football League defeat of the season. Mann’s goal, from a mark about 35 metres out, sailed through and set up an intriguing battle for a double chance come finals time. The Panthers kept in touch with third-placed Bannockburn with only percentage separating the two sides with two games remaining. Bannockburn plays sixth-placed Thomson and ninth-placed North Geelong while the Panthers will start strong favourites against Corio this week before a tough one against Geelong West. However, Bell Post Hill would fancy its chances against anyone at the moment, knocking off second place East Geelong and top side Inverleigh in consecutive weeks. Bell Post Hill assistant coach Andrew Atchison said the win against Inverleigh had given the group a lot of self belief. “They (Inverleigh) have been the yardstick for the last two years,” he said. “We set ourselves for a big game. We knew playing a side like Inverleigh it would be a finals like atmosphere. “It really gave them that self belief. We’ve always drummed into our playing list that it doesn’t matter who you are playing against, you have to be switched on.” Inverleigh led by 21 points at quarter time and by four at half time. Bell Post Hill went into the last quarter with a two-point lead before Mann iced the game with the final kick. “As soon as it left his boot it never looked like missing,” Atchison said. “He’s one of the best set shots at the club.” The Panthers were well served by onballer Dylan Witney. “He brings that hardness around stoppages,” Atchison said. “He has that work ethic out on the football field and he drags everyone along with him. He’s a bit of a barometer for us.” Will Ford took his season’s goal tally to 76 with a further haul of four while midfielder Jordan Schrader-Sabell was prolific and the versatile Tim Barton has now strung some matches together after a knee injury caused him to miss games earlier in the year. North Geelong defeated a plucky Anakie by 47 points with Mitch Habib best afield. East Geelong dealt Thomson’s finals hopes a severe blow with a 38-point win with Tim McLennan again among the best. Bannockburn continued on its merry way 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 5 August, 2022
