Geelong’s very own soul Revival The Geelong Revival Motoring Festival is back for 2022, featuring a fantastic array of classic, vintage, and downright quirky cars and motorbikes at the Geelong Waterfront. Among the hundreds of vehicles on display will be Jack Thomas’ 1913 Model T Ford and Tess Anderson’s 1909 Hupmobile, while the National Vintage Fashion Awards will be in full swing, as demonstrated by Tessa Janus, Abbey Jane, Lexe DeRock and daughter Betty-Lou, Amy Palmer and Larelle Burgess (pictured). ■ Story page 3.

Real estate prices ease By Matt Hewson House prices are falling faster in Geelong than anywhere else in regional Victoria, according to the most recent market report from property data analysis and valuation company PropTrack. While property prices in Victoria have dropped by an average of 2.45 per cent since peak prices in February this year, home prices in Geelong have dropped by 4.5 per cent in the same period. PropTrack senior economist and report author Eleanor Creagh said while interest rate rises were the most important factor in

house prices, in Geelong’s case the figures represented a natural correction to prices after such explosive growth through the pandemic period. “Interest rates are the primary driver of prices at the moment, but we’re seeing this happen in areas, like Geelong, that were incredibly popular during the pandemic,” Ms Creagh said. “As a whole, regional areas are holding up better than capital cities, but more in-demand lifestyle regions – Geelong, the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, the Richmond-Tweed area in New South Wales – which have higher value property types, are seeing prices fall the

fastest.” Ms Creagh said it was important to bear in mind the huge boom in prices over the last few years, as home prices in Geelong remain over 33 per cent higher than before the pandemic. “It’s important to put what we’re seeing at the moment into the context of the past two, two and a bit years, which is an extraordinary price growth,” she said. “But we do expect that interest rates will continue to rise, which will reduce borrowing capacities. So it’s likely that will weigh further on home prices in the period ahead. “I think it’s an important distinction to make, that the downturn we’re seeing is very much

about reduced borrowing capacities rather than about mortgage stress and distress sales, and we think it’s likely to remain that way.” But ultimately, Ms Creagh said property values would remain well above what they were before 2020. “You’re looking at regions, some of which are up 50 per cent on pre-pandemic levels, so you’d have to see values drop by a third before you get back to those prices,” she said. “There have only been five years since 1990 where home price growth has been negative, and never by more than 10 per cent. “A 30-50 per cent drop in home values is a statistically unlikely event.”

Labor targets women’s health Premier Daniel Andrews this week announced a $71 million plan to provide 20 women’s health clinics across the state, including extended opening hours for Barwon Health’s facility, if re-elected The premier was at Geelong’s University Hospital to make the announcement and said the decision was an attempt to spotlight and help treat certain health conditions. Barwon Health runs a women’s health clinic one day per week, but Premier Andrews said it would be extended to five days per week under the proposal.

The premier said he would also work with Aboriginal-health organisations to deliver a dedicated Aboriginal-led women’s health clinic and rollout a mobile clinic to head to remote parts of the state. “It’s time women’s health needs were treated with focus and respect because that’s exactly what they deserve,” he said. “For too long, too many women haven’t been listened to and their health issues have been ignored. This plan will transform women’s healthcare, ensuring every Victorian woman can access the support and treatment they need

and deserve. “Some of the most common conditions experienced by women go undiagnosed and untreated – tragically, sometimes until it’s too late. This is about making sure women have the care, and peace of mind, they need.” The clinics will provide comprehensive care for Victorian women experiencing conditions such as endometriosis, pelvic pain, polycystic ovary syndrome, perimenopause and menopause. The pledge also includes $2 million for scholarships to recruit 100 new specialists to

staff the clinics statewide and $5.3 million for a mobile clinic to service remote areas. The state will also expand its network of sexual and reproductive health hubs, with $6.4 million to establish an extra nine locations. The pledge comes after Mr Andrews announced 1500 dispensers would be placed across 700 public sites providing free sanitary pads and tampons. Mr Andrews said Labor would make tampons free at train stations and other public places if re-elected, expanding on its existing program in state schools. The initiative would cost $23 million.

Geelong vintage vehicle owner Simon Anderson will be bringing three Brass Era cars and motorbikes to display on the Sunday of the festival. “The blue one is a 1910 Brush, only made for five years in America because the T Model came out and killed everyone in the market,” Mr Anderson said. “It’s quite a unique little car. It was built very cheaply, for the people. Most of it is made out of wood, even to the chassis rails.” Mr Anderson, who is a member of the

Labor election promise to support regional media Regional newspapers will be strengthened by one guaranteed full-page of Victorian government advertising should Labor win the state election on November 26. A Labor statement described regional newspapers as the “lifeblood” of country communities, and if re-elected, the party would support outlets with the growing costs of paper and production. Premier Daniel Andrews said whether it’s a bushfire, flooding or a global pandemic, regional newspapers had time and time again stepped up and served their readers “in incredibly important ways”. “Labor is doing what matters – backing regional media outlets with guaranteed

advertising revenue so they can keep supporting their local communities,” Mr Andrews said. Labor said the advertising guarantee built on the support the government had delivered for regional media during the pandemic. “Labor understands the importance of backing regional media outlets. That’s why we supported Australian Associated Press with a $2.7 million grant to support print and broadcast journalism in regional Victoria,” Labor said. “Throughout the pandemic, we invested more than $20 million to support regional media outlets through advertising, supporting jobs and protecting local news.” The Liberal Party was contacted for comment.

Western District Historic Vehicle Club and the Veteran Car Club, said vintage cars had always been a part of his life. He said car enthusiasts were coming from all over the country to visit Geelong for the Motoring Festival. “It’s huge, we’ve got potentially 1000 cars coming over those three days, and thousands of people,” he said. “Even in our little group, there are people coming from Queensland, just to come down and have a look, which is fantastic. And it’s fantastic for Geelong and the economy as well.”

Labor tipped to hold local seats By Matt Hewson As the state election draws near, one might have expected candidates in the Greater Geelong region to have ramped up their campaigning in recent weeks But Dr Zareh Ghazarian, politics lecturer at Monash University’s School of Social Sciences, said Geelong’s election battles had been distinctive in their lack of energy. “In terms of its prominence, Geelong’s had a really flat campaign,” Dr Ghazarian said. “The parties have really focused on traditional, bread and butter state government

issues of health care, education, transport and service delivery.” Dr Geoff Robinson, senior lecturer in politics and policy studies at Deakin University, said Labor was likely to hold all three seats as well as the Bellarine, with the two major parties the only real contenders. “I don’t think there are any credible independents that could cause any surprises,” Dr Robinson said. “Although the Green vote continues to pick up in the area, I still think it’s going to be a Labor-Liberal contest with the Labor Party retaining its hold on the four Geelong seats.”

Dr Ghazarian predicted Labor MP Christine Couzens, would retain her seat against Liberal challenger James Bennett-Hullin, and retiring Lara MP John Eren’s replacement Ella George would almost certainly be elected ahead of Liberal candidate Ralph Krein. However, he said South Barwon was a key battleground between the incumbent, Labor MP Darren Cheeseman, and Liberal candidate Andrew Katos. “If we look at Geelong and Lara, they’re both safe seats for Labor, and if Labor was to lose either one of them it would be a very poor outcome.

“South Barwon is really interesting, and if the Liberals are going to be in with a chance of winning a seat in the region, that’s the first one that comes to mind.” Dr Robinson said while Liberal candidate Mr Katos was a well-known figure, Mr Cheeseman had a similarly recognisable brand. “It’s a plus for Andrew Katos, being the former member for South Barwon,” he said. “And there is some evidence that having been a member of parliament boosts your profile and is worth votes. But that’s more the case in rural and provincial seats, and South Barwon is pretty suburban these days. “

Sweet fete fun awaits After a four-year absence one of Geelong’s biggest school fetes is back. The Clairvaux Carnivale is run by the Clairvaux Parents & Friends Association it is one of Clairvaux Catholic Primary School’s biggest fundraisers. Committee member John Watts said it is a massive day out and families come from all over Geelong. “It’s one of the biggest fetes in Geelong I reckon,” he said. “In the past they have had 2000 to 3000 people there. It’s a big area so everything is pretty spread out.” In the past, the school has used the money raised from the fete for shade sails over playgrounds, resurfacing of the netball and basketball courts and refurbishing of the hall. Fete-goers can sign up early for a $25 all-you-can-ride ticket, which offers unlimited rides all day. The cost is $35 at the gate or

individual rides are $8. A massive day of fun is on offer with quality rides, a huge range of hot food options, the Cheer toastie truck, High Tea with live entertainment, a massive silent auction including Geelong Cats AFL items, a signed cricket bat from Aaron Finch, face painting, petting zoo, dunk tank, gift stalls, lucky dip wine bottles and more. Entertainment will also include Dazzling Dan The Magic Man and live music from popular musician Riley Catheril. The silent auction includes Stanley tools, gift vouchers, a Mercedes Benz for the weekend, sporting memorabilia, beauty treatments and more. St Bernard’s Parish will offer a playgroup for the young ones. The fete is on Saturday, November 19 from 10am to 3pm at Clairvaux Primary School in Belmont. Details: clairvauxcarnivale.com.au

Right now, a daily full-fare from Geelong to Melbourne costs up to $27.60, while a daily ticket from Bendigo is up to $68.80. With the metro daily rate only $9.20, these fares just aren't fair.

In February 1862, according to a report in the newspaper, an old townsman was fishing off the wharf at Geelong. “The day was sultry and the fish disinclined to nibble. The bay was smooth as glass, and as clear. A couple of fishing boats lay lazily off the wharf, the sails idly flapping. Our hero resolved to bathe. Having gone through the usual preliminaries to the performance, he threw himself headlong, with a refreshing splash, into fourteen feet of water. “Suddenly he heard two cries, simultaneously raised, of ‘a shark, a shark’. The fishermen were shouting, but thinking it to be only a joke, he continued his aquatic evolutions until a grazing sensation along his ankle, leg and thigh, warned him of something that made his blood run cold. A moment more and a shark’s head was alongside his own. They were parallel swimming the same course. He, gasping and trembling; it, silent and deadly – the dorsal fin clearing the surface of the sea. “Aware that to stop would be instant death, he struck out manfully for the shore, the shark still swimming close and closer, when thinking that it was about to turn, he struck at it, and in doing so stripped the flesh from the side of his right arm from the elbow down to the wrist. The shark dived again, grazing his victim, but showing no inclination to bite. Shallow water was reached – assistance afforded – and our hero was saved.” Later that year, the residents of Geelong had the chance to see a tiger shark up close. “One of these denizens of the deep was exhibited at the fishmonger’s shop, in Moorabool Street, on Saturday last. The fish was then still alive, and made known his

Line now clear after derailment Shipping containers have been cleared from tracks near Geelong after a train derailed, blocking an important rail corridor between Adelaide and Melbourne. Sixteen carriages from a 1.7km-long train went off the tracks at Inverleigh early on Monday, sending dozens of shipping containers tumbling. No one was injured in the derailment and the cause is under investigation. All the shipping containers and wagons have now been removed from the tracks, the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC)

confirmed on Thursday. Fifty workers will start repairing the 1km of damaged track, using 1500 new concrete sleepers and 2500 tonnes of rock ballast. “ARTC extends its thanks to the community and freight customers for their patience and understanding as works are carried out,“ the corporation said in a statement. The train came to a stop just before a level crossing, which was closed temporarily but has since been reopened. However, the 16-carriage pile-up resulted in rail services being suspended

between Adelaide and Melbourne. The Australian Rail Track Corporation said it was difficult to say when the line would reopen, but officials on Monday indicated it could take up to a week for operations to return to normal. The driver of the train was reportedly uninjured, and there were no passengers on board. While the cause of the incident is still unconfirmed, the damaged tracks appear to be submerged in floodwater. The Bureau of Meteorology reported nearly

40mm of rain in the area between 10pm Sunday night and 5am Monday morning. “Rail workers are increasingly concerned that Australia’s rail safety regime is no longer fit for purpose and not enough is being done to ensure that tracks are safe,“ Mr Diamond said in a statement. “While the cause of yesterday’s derailment will be the subject of an investigation, rail workers are already aware of the failings in the rail safety system and they want to see action.“ – APP

Ané set to represent Vic Geelong tennis player Ané Stojcevski, 9, has been selected to represent Victoria at Tennis Australia’s Super 10s State of Origin against New South Wales. Young Ané will join other girls aged 10 and under travelling to Wodonga in December. Ané’s mother Tatum said her daughter was thrilled to be selected to represent her state on the national stage. “She was very excited because she’s been playing since she was three, and her goal has been to one day represent Victoria at the national level,” Tatum said. “She’s also excited because she’s a bit younger than a lot of the other girls, many of them are 10, a year older than Ané.” Ané began playing in the Hot Shots program at Geelong Lawn Tennis Club when she was three years old, although after showing natural talent from the start she progressed quickly to private lessons and competitive tennis. After playing in the Victorian Super 10s competition this year at Dendy Park in

Brighton for four weeks each term, Ané has already earned a spot in the 11 and under metropolitan zone squad. Two weeks ago, she attended national development squad training at the National Tennis Centre in Melbourne, mixing it with the best young players in the country. But Tatum said despite Ané reaching a high level of competition at such a young age, tennis was only one part of her daughter’s life. “She’s doing really well, but she plays and enjoys a lot of sports,” Tatum said. “Ané’s a natural and she just loves it. She’s on the right path to get selected for the national squad, but her life isn’t all about tennis. “I think a lot of kids at that level, it’s just such a commitment. But she just has fun. She’s heading to Queensland for her cheerleading team’s national event this week, and she loves playing soccer and netball. She’s just one of those that are good at lots of sports, just naturally talented. So I just let her do whatever she wants to do. And she loves it, that helps.”

Mozzies, possums linked to ulcer Greater Geelong residents are being urged to take precautions to minimise their risk of contracting the Buruli ulcer. The Department of Health has advised the disease, also called the Bairnsdale ulcer, is spreading geographically across Victoria and there has been an increase in cases linked to several suburbs in Greater Geelong. The department has also advised there is increasing evidence that mosquitoes and possums play a role in transmission of the disease. City of Greater Geelong city services director

Guy Wilson-Browne urged community members to work with the city to protect themselves and their homes appropriately. “While the city is working hard to safely reduce their numbers, mosquitoes are a natural part of the ecosystem and it’s not possible to make a significant reduction in their population,” he said. “There are many simple things you can do to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes. Applying insect repellent, wearing loose clothes to cover arms and legs and wearing closed-in shoes can significantly increase your protection against

mosquito bites.” Officers are currently monitoring larval numbers across Greater Geelong and will be continually assessing and reviewing potential breeding sites over the coming months. This includes applying treatments to drains, dams, and easements where it is safe to do so. “We are monitoring key sites where there has been a reported increase in mosquitoes in areas such as Eastern Park, Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove,” Mr Wilson-Browne said. “The persistent rain means we’re likely to see higher mosquito numbers than in previous

years and unfortunately the rain also limits the effectiveness of the treatments we have applied.” If community members are concerned about a sore or suspect they have an ulcer developing, they are urged to seek medical advice. The city is asking everyone to help manage mosquito populations by following steps to maintain their properties and reduce opportunities for mosquito breeding.

Prison podcast drama Somebody’s Daughter Theatre Company (SDTC) has released a new podcast, ‘Miss, It Appears We Have Hit Some Turbulence’, created by and about women in prison. The four-part series gives an insight into the lives and stories of women in custody at Melbourne’s maximum security prison, the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre, where the original stage version of ‘Miss, It Appears We Have Hit Some Turbulence’ ran in 2019. SDTC, which has been running the ‘Nobody’s Fool Theatre’ program in Geelong for the last six years, has a 40-year history of working with women in prison. The company’s ongoing drama program for women inmates focuses on devising new works with its participants, giving a voice to the disadvantaged and offering opportunities for insight, discussion and inclusion in society more broadly. SDTC co-artistic director Kharen Harper said the 2020 lockdowns, which resulted

in the cancellation of the company’s live performances, gave rise to the podcast. “When March 2020 hit we were talking with [Department of] Justice people about bringing the audience numbers back a bit,” Ms Harper said. “Then a few weeks later we went, maybe we can have 20 people, then it was okay, we’ll do a radio play version. “So we started working on that, then near the end of July we got a call on the Friday saying we had to do it that day, then we had to be gone. “We had one window of time, one nine-hour day, to record with the women in custody before Melbourne’s stage four to six lockdowns.” Ms Harper said work also features additional commentary from formerly incarcerated women who worked previously with SDTC in prison and now post-release. ‘Miss, It Appears We’ve Hit Some Turbulence’ is available on Spotify, Apple podcasts, Overcast and Podbean.

Flood repairs to take time

If you are travelling in the areas listed below within these times and date, please scan the QR codes for detailed information regarding changed trafﬁc conditions.

We’re asking for your patience and understanding as we tackle the mammoth task of repairing flood damaged roads and pathways across our region. Between 13 October and 3 November, we received more than three times the volume of Requests for Service relating to roads than we did for the same period last year. Adding to the challenge, there is a shortage of both contractors and materials available given the huge flood impact across Victoria. We understand that every request made by our community is important, but we are having to prioritise our repairs based on safety and greatest benefit to the majority.

Increased mowing works in the region Our crews are working hard to maintain roadsides, parklands, sporting grounds and other areas of vegetation following recent heavy rain. Our mowing program is extensive, but it is difﬁcult to keep pace with the heavy rain, grass growth and the wet mowing conditions. We ask the community to please be patient as we keep working hard to keep our natural spaces tidy.

Our spectacular Floating Christmas Tree Sound and Light Show will be staged each night between 8.30pm and midnight until Sunday 8 January 2023. The shows are approximately six minutes in length and plays every 15 minutes.

Beat the bite The ongoing rain has improved breeding conditions for mosquitoes, so please take steps to protect yourself from mosquito bites. While we’re working hard to safely reduce their numbers, mosquitoes are natural part of the ecosystem and it’s not possible to make a signiﬁcant reduction in their population.

Epworth’s new high tech theatre Epworth Geelong has opened a new, high-tech operating theatre in the latest stage of its expansion of services. The new theatre will allow the hospital to offer increased access to patients who may have had their surgery delayed during the global pandemic. The facilities will be used for a wide range of surgeries, including robotic joint replacement surgery, neurosurgery, plastics and gynaecological procedures. Epworth executive general manager Leonie Lloyd said the theatre boasts the

latest technology, which will result in better outcomes for patients in Geelong and the south-west region. “The new theatre has 4K camera and imaging equipment, providing better quality imaging during operations,” Ms Lloyd said. “This technology means we can share images in real time in a telehealth consult if required, to get advice from another specialist.” The theatre also which also features a new style of theatre lights that reduce shadows and improve conditions for surgeons. Ms Lloyd said the new theatre was a

continuation of Epworth’s efforts to expand its services over the last year. “Late last year, we became the first hospital in regional Victoria to have a Mako orthopaedic surgical robot, and the first hospital in the region to combine an intraoperative CT theatre scanner with navigation technology to guide surgeons during complex neurosurgery,” she said. “We have also increased our intensive care unit capacity by a third and expanded our emergency department to 24 hours a day”. The theatre was fitted out by Wilhelm

Integrated Solutions, an Australian owned healthcare technology company, over a period of just 30 days. Epworth Geelong senior theatre technician and project co-ordinator Mickey Weiser said the quick fit out allowed the hospital to begin delivering surgeries ahead of schedule. “There has been a worldwide delay in accessing theatre equipment due to supply chain issues caused by the global pandemic,” Mr Weiser said. “Having the theatre operational in four weeks means we can treat patients sooner.”

Digging in to be heard about climate change and the impact it will have on their kids’ lives, and we hope we can get that message out. “Our beaches and rivers are currently affected by extreme weather upstream flooding our waterways with polluting rubbish and sediment.” “Parents around Australia are organising events for their local communities to bring families together in a positive initiative to show their support for urgent action on climate for the sake of their kids’ futures,” Australian Parents for Climate Action’s national community organiser Laura Grufas said. “By drastically reducing our emissions and investing in renewable energy sources, we help create a future for our children where they will benefit from a strong, clean economy and a safer climate.” The sand sculpting event is on Sunday, November 20 from 1pm to 3pm at Ocean Grove main beach.

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.”

Restaurant, farm knocked back The City of Greater Geelong’s planning committee has refused to grant a planning permit for the development of a restaurant, function centre and children’s farm at 65-105 Lings Road, Connewarre. Despite going into the meeting on November 10 with a recommendation to grant the permit, an alternate motion to refuse it was passed by five votes to one. The committee refused the permit on the grounds that the proposed development did not comply with the planning policy framework,

farming zone policies, the Bellarine Peninsula Localised Planning Statement 2015 or the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme. The issues of greatest concerns were the impacts on the local environment, the effects on the amenity of the area and the potential for further developments to occur if the “genie was let out of the bottle”. The application went through public notification three times, during which 150 objections had been lodged. Councillor Jim Mason, who seconded

the alternate motion made by mayor Trent Sullivan, said the many amendments made by the applicants to address public concerns were admirable, but ultimately not enough. “There’s been a great deal of effort to compromise, but I’m sorry, it’s a situation where we have to face up to international treaties,” he said. “And I don’t think we’ve had adequate consideration to the environmental effects, despite all attempts; it’s been raised to some extent. “Anybody that takes on a project from now

on has to understand that we’ve really been serious about drawing a line to protect the rural landscape and protecting our pristine areas. “It’s regrettable, but we do have these biodiversity needs and threats on our biodiversity. These are increasingly important problems, and we have to face up to them.” Mayor Sullivan said the outcome reached by the committee was an appropriate one. The applicants were contacted for comment but did not respond.

New tech tackles waste Geelong is the Australian home of a new technology solution to the problem of food and organic waste. BioNova Pacific held a demonstration at Geelong engineering company Austeng this week to present its new organic waste digester, which uses rapid thermophilic decomposition to reduce the volume of organic waste by 70&percnt; in 24 hours. The BioNova unit produces a rich soil conditioner which is pathogen-free and can be used on gardens and farms, diverting 100 percent of the waste from landfill and providing a carbon-negative solution. The inventor of the technology, Mr Lars Ebertsson, presented the new system to representatives from Recycling Victoria, the City of Greater Geelong, Barwon Water and Deakin University BioFactory. Mr Ebertsson said reducing the amount of organic waste heading to landfill was a critical step in combatting climate change. “Australia needs to forget about sending

organic waste to landfill. Anything you can do with it apart from landfill is better, everyone agrees on that,” he said. The BioNova system uses continuous feeding of material, and features a constant population of microbes that help break down organic matter into soil conditioner, which is then automatically discharged from the unit. “The output is pathogen-free, no salmonella or E. coli or anything like that, as we treat it at 70 degrees,” Mr Ebertsson said. “It doesn’t create any methane, we have a very small footprint with a high capacity. And the output is then usable to improve soil, also burning with a better energy output than sawdust.” Mr Ebertsson initially developed the technology in the late 1990s to help address organic waste disposal in Norway, but said the applications as a soil treatment and fertiliser made it perfect for Australian needs. “There is so much energy in the food waste, and using it for these purposes could be quite a new page in the story,” he said.

Bodybuilder spared conviction By Emily Woods, AAP A Geelong bodybuilder, who shot to fame portraying a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, has been spared a conviction after he stabbed a car tyre in a fit of rage. Three-time Mr Universe winner Calum von Moger appeared in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Wednesday where he learned his fate over a road rage incident earlier this year. The 32-year-old, who resides in Geelong and appeared in court with his girlfriend,

pleaded guilty to criminal damage charges over an altercation following a car accident in Melbourne’s Altona North on January 26. After causing damage to the other driver’s vehicle, von Moger stabbed the victim’s car tyre, the court heard. Magistrate Roslyn Porter said his conduct was “frightening and totally unacceptable“, but accepted a psychologist’s report which described his deteriorating mental health at the time. He also pleaded guilty to criminal damage

over an earlier incident, where he left the scene after an accident without providing his details to the other driver. Other charges, including drug and weapon offences, were withdrawn, the court heard. Von Moger starred as Schwarzenegger in the 2018 film Bigger. The court heard he suffered from post-traumatic stress and adjustment disorders, and his mental health had deteriorated since 2018. His lawyer Bernard Campigli said von Moger

did not want to be handed a criminal conviction as it could harm future career opportunities in America. “He does have potential business opportunities in America, he is largely reliant on that income. I can’t give that figure, but Mr von Moger does have the prospect of future employment,” he said. Ms Porter gave von Moger a $2500 fine with no criminal conviction. She placed him on a 12-month good behaviour undertaking and he must continue to participate in mental health treatment.

Ride is a family affair A Highton family will be sending three generations of riders to participate in the Great Vic Bike Ride this December. Grandfather Wilson Heer and dad John have been riding in the event since the 1990s, when they completed the ride in five consecutive years from 1992-96. This year Isobel, 12, will join John and Wilson on the four-day leg of the ride from Apollo Bay to Buninyong. John said he and Wilson were both proud to have Isobel joining them in the ride. “Isobel’s been involved in the Geelong Mountain Bike Club for nearly seven years now, and they’ve been awesome,” John said. “And now she’s at the age where she’s got the stamina to be able to do these longer distances, it’s going to be really nice for the three of us to do it together.” The trio rode their first extended event in the Little Vic, a four-day event in March and April this year. “It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, because I’ve done cycling for a

while now, and it was great to do the whole ride together,” Isobel said. “It was really nice, there were a lot of people who were willing to help if you got lost or weren’t sure what was happening. “The volunteers were always super friendly and encouraging throughout the ride and at the camp.” Wilson said the social side was fantastic. “We’re all there together, and it doesn’t matter what job we do or what our background is, you just talk to everybody,” he said. “Everyone’s equal, you can comfortably talk to anyone, whether it’s having meals or whatever.” John said the relaxing nature of the rides was one of the most enjoyable things about them. “You can just really enjoy the simplicity of it all,. When you wake up each day you’ve got nothing to do but eat some, ride some, camp a bit. It’s just nice and simple,” he said. “It’s just a case of getting up, jumping on the bike to get to the next camp, hanging out with friends and being social.”

Foot pain is extremely common, affecting more than 80 per cent of people at some point in their lives, with heel pain being the most common of all human foot complaints. Despite their frequency, these conditions are often mismanaged and incorrectly treated. This leaves many sufferers spending time and money on treatments without long-term solutions or relief. But why are such common problems seemingly so hard to treat effectively? One of Australia’s leading foot, knee and leg pain clinics explains. “Besides the fact that the feet are one of the bodies most complex structures and we are on them all the time, there are two major reasons foot pain and particularly heel pain treatment is often ineffective, especially long-term,“ Geelong West, Foot and Leg Pain Clinic’s, Dr David Kavanagh said. “Either only the

symptoms are being addressed and not the underlying cause, or the exact nature of the condition is not being identified or understood. “For example, most heel pain is incorrectly assumed to be an inflammatory condition when it is nearly always a result of nerve impingement or tissue degeneration. Tissue thickening is often mistaken for inflammation, contributing to incorrect diagnoses and treatment. This is a big problem because treating a degenerative condition with anti-inflammatory treatments may actually cause further tissue damage, making your condition worse.” If you have any foot, heel or knee pain, Dr. Kavanagh is currently accepting new patients at Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Geelong, call 1300 328 300.

PICK OF THE WEEK

Adam Liaw (pictured) has perfected the art of pairing easygoing banter with delicious recipes in this delectable cooking show. A weeknight essential for foodies and amateur cooks alike, themes range from staple vegetable broccoli and ’80s dinner parties to toasties and the state of Tasmania. Tonight, vegie fans might want to focus on the chit-chat rather than the recipes because it’s a meat lovers’ dream, playfully titled “High Steaks”. FOLAU ABC TV, Monday, 8.50pm

A few years ago, footballer Israel Folau (pictured) was all over the headlines thanks to his controversial social media posts. The uproar resulted in his sacking from Rugby Australia for breaching its player code of conduct and his multimillion dollar contract was ripped up. Now, after the dust has settled, this incisive two-part documentary examines how the complexities of free speech and religious freedom collided, and what role the work place should have.

We are still working our way through November, but a Christmas special from the joy-filled LEGO Masters crew is here to imbue everyone with Christmas excitement and wonder. Expect festive puns and an array of garish knitted jumpers as host Hamish Blake and LEGO expert Ryan “Brickman” McNaught pull out all the stops in this two-part special. This year’s merry contestants are Home and Away star Lincoln Lewis, former Yellow Wiggle Emma Watkins, cooking empress Poh Ling Yeow and The Block’s Darren Palmer (all pictured, from left, with Brickman and Blake), who team up with past contestants to find out who can create the most impressive LEGO Christmas-themed build.

After around 450 episodes of NCIS, fans might presumably think they have seen it all. This week, in “The Good Fighter”, there is an unusual slant: a team member goes undercover in their own NCIS headquarters to try to catch a supposed mole. When an NCIS agent turns up dead and forensic scientist Kasie (Diona Reasonover, pictured) is unaccounted for, the team must work quickly to find the killer. It’s an episode to keep fans on their toes.

FRIDAY FEATURE

Roberts living the netball dream It’s been a whirlwind month for Brodie Roberts. Tara Murray spoke with the Geelong netball star.

eelong netball star Brodie Roberts only dreamed of the opportunities that he has received during the past month on the

court. With international men’s netball sidelined since the COVID-19 pandemic, Roberts and Australian men’s team were back on court and in a big way. Televised matches, autograph sessions, camps with the Australian Diamonds and an invitation to an international event, just some of the new elements for the men’s team in the last couple of months.

‘‘

Men’s netball are the sport’s biggest supporters but we never thought these opportunities would come - Brodie Roberts

’’

Roberts said it’s been a crazy few weeks both here in Australia and in New Zealand. “It has been amazing,” he said. “The first tour against New Zealand and having televised matches is insane. Then a home match in Melbourne at John Cain Arena. “I’ve watched Australia, the Melbourne Vixens and Collingwood so often. It had always been a dream. “Men’s netball are the sport’s biggest supporters but we never thought these opportunities would come.” This year was the fifth straight year that Roberts had been picked in the Australian squad. He had some nervous moments earlier in the year, when he hurt his calf at the national championships, which were used to select the

team. He did enough and was among those picked to play against New Zealand, England and in the Fast Five championships. The matches were to coincide with the Australian Diamonds matches. “One of the amazing parts was the training camp at the AIS with the Diamonds,” Roberts

said. “It felt like the pinnacle at the start of the month. Being in that high performance environment, we were viewed in that same lane.” Once on court, the Aussies split the opening two matches against New Zealand meaning the decider would be held in Melbourne. Roberts said while they would have loved to

have won all three matches, the chance to win the series at home was pretty special. They would also meet some of their fans, wanting autographs from their newest heroes. “It was amazing,” Roberts said. “I’ve been a netball fan my whole life and I had people coming up saying they like how I play goal attack.” Roberts said the Fast Five competition was a different experience, as the men played official games for the first time. “We had played a few practice matches,” he said. “It wasn’t the result we were after but the first ever international even the men’s team has been invited too. It was ground broken for us.” The courts on the world stage are a long way from the Altona Netball Association where he started playing. His mum was coach of the Williamstown Tigers and if they were short of players, she would get him to play. The next season he signed up for Netta and was hooked on the sport. A number of people have stepped up to help Roberts get to the highest level, one being his secondary college coach at Williamstown High, Marg Lind. “I acknowledge her as being the biggest coach in my netball career,” he said. “She coached me from year seven to year nine and invited me down to City West Falcons trainings when Kate Moloney and Liz Watson were playing there. “My game has stepped up now since I’ve moved into my senior career.” The Geelong resident is back in the Falcons fold this year as part of the Altona Falcons men’s team program in the M-League. Roberts’ attention will turn to the M-League season, but not before a well earned break.

ENTERTAINMENT

Hats off to jazz festival By Matt Hewson Jazz will be ringing through Newtown this weekend when the Jazz in a Hat Spring Fest comes to the Heights Heritage House on Saturday, November 19. The festival, running from 2pm till 9pm, brings together some of Geelong’s best and brightest young jazz talent in a family-friendly celebration of music and community. Artists include the French-inspired funk of the Calderazzo-Lorenne Group, gypsy duo Gypsum Gypsie and the modern and experimental jazz of Tony Soprano Band and Final Final. The Heights will also play host to poetry and live art performances throughout the event. The Jazz in a Hat collective began in Geelong in 2018 when Philippine-born musician Eli Merquita and Geelong artist and musician Joshua Maxwell de Hoog decided to begin hosting jam sessions where musicians could throw their name in a hat and form an impromptu jazz ensemble. Eli Merquita said the monthly sessions were soon selling out, and the Jazz in a Hat community began to form. “It just started growing, and the sound started to grow as well, and the involvement of the people,” Mr Merquita said. “Coming from my background, being born in the Philippines, then living in Singapore, then Melbourne, and ending up here in Geelong, I felt really lost and alienated and not sure why I was even here. “But the community provided that for me and my family, not just in music, but in friendship, and you can see that same vibe right across the community. This festival is going to be a celebration of people.” While Jazz in a Hat has and continues to be impacted by COVID-19, Mr Merquita said the return of live music was important to lots of people. “We’re so excited about the festival, especially after the two years off,” he said. “It was an awful experience, as a musician, to feel so disconnected from your community.

“We had one of our crew members say he

and now he feels revived.

was ready to hang up his bass and forget the whole music thing until we had another Jazz in a Hat jam. It sparked something in him,

“As organisers, Josh and I feel a bit burnt out sometimes. But when you hear stories like that, it’s a good feeling, to say the least.”

accessible the law is regardless of stature. So, we need government that is subservient to the will (the common good ethic) of the people and is responsive to public opinion. So which ideology is best placed at this time in our history to form a government based on serving the common good. As significant as they are, individual rights and freedoms can never be as important as the common good. They can only ever be an essential component of it.

Metropolitan and Shadow Health Minister Georgie Crozier should have been in the chair.) Locally given exponential population growth – 60,000 within the coastal new estates – both major parties have hardly pledged realistic investment in public health, education, sporting or cultural spheres. Yes Geelong advocacy groups have hardly been up and about. Most likely the May federal poll trend which saw Teals and independents get the nod will be replicated at the state level. An on the cards minority ALP parliament is not good news because neither the Teals nor independents formulate nor oversee policy implementation. Put another way, the taxpayer electorate does not get full value for its buck. And then of course you’ve got the Greens. Stating the obvious a flawed democracy is way better than the alternative. It’s a conundrum. However the best of a bad lot means a vote for one of the major parties.

A celebration of music through film The LongPlay Music Film Festival comes to Geelong’s Pivotonian Cinema this month, with a curated selection of world-class music feature films showing over four days. Launching Thursday, November 24 and running until Sunday, the festival showcases music documentaries such as festival headliner ‘The Angels: Kickin’ Down the Door’, a new feature about the legendary Australian rock band. Also in the lineup are the Sinead O’Connor bio ‘Nothing Compares’, a 4K restoration of Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Last Waltz’, and ‘We Are the Thousand’, which tells the story of 1,000 Foo Fighters superfans in Italy. LongPlay is showing throughout regional Victoria across the weekend, brought to Ballarat, Bairnsdale and Geelong by the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF), Mushroom Pictures and Always Live, the live music initiative conceived by Michael Gudinski before his death. MIFF artistic director Al Cossar said the Film Festival was pleased to work together with Mushroom and Always Live to deliver LongPlay to Victorian audiences. “Mushroom Pictures and MIFF combining to curate a Music Film Festival program feels like a perfect harmony,” Mr Cossar said. “We’re delighted to be a part of this very special event beyond our annual MIFF program and to connect these fascinating films with regional Victorian audiences.”

YOUR SAY The common good When, many years ago, the lady with the unruly hairdo uttered her famous and dispassionate condemnation of the human species. “There is no such thing as society. There are only individuals making their way. The poor shall be looked after by the drip down effect from the rich.” Successful societies should be built around a common good and we need to examine which political ideology is best placed to build such a society. In the modern western sense, an enlightened society is a populace of men, women, and children who as a collective desire to express their humanity, work, aspirations, spirituality, art, poetry and play with the richest possible diversity. It cultivates a common good with equality of opportunity for all. A society where the health and welfare of all is sacrosanct and access to treatment is assured. Where the principle that we should treat others in the same manner as we expect them to treat us is indelible in the mind of every citizen. A society that respects science before myth and mysticism. A society that should be judged by its welcoming, and how well it treats its most vulnerable citizens. By how well protected we are and how 18 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 18 November, 2022

Vote for the major parties With the November 26 state poll in sight, the Andrews government can point to what will be a public transport legacy. Tunnel, loop upgrade, removal of level crossings, airport rail connection etc. On the debit side, the incumbent’s governance over the course of the pandemic was, at best, abysmal. Given that Premier Andrews in one guise or another has had since 2007 to create a respectable public health system with same now broken, you would have to say that he has been given more than a fair go.

Big issues ignored I was disappointed to read about Labor and the Liberals acting as if the 2026 Commonwealth Games was the most

pressing state election issue facing people here in Geelong (‘Labor, Lib Games battle’, Geelong Independent, 11/11/2022). In fact, I haven’t seen significant interest from the two main parties in many of the critical issues affecting the daily lives of thousands of our city’s residents. Homelessness, domestic violence, spiralling rental costs, mortgage debt, a huge shortage of government housing, income and food insecurity along with alcohol, gambling and drug addiction are real problems facing many people here in Geelong. But little has been said about these issues by either Labor or the Liberals. I urge voters in Geelong who do care about these kinds of serious concerns to look beyond the two main parties and candidates when they decide how to cast their vote in this month’s state election.

The Geelong Chamber of Commerce Board is on the lookout for a new chief executive after Ben Flynn resigned from the position. Mr Flynn joined the chamber in early 2019 and will finish at the end of March next year after four years. He will take six months off to travel around Australia with his young family before returning to Geelong in October 2023. The chamber said Mr Flynn has made a significant contribution by reinvigorating its

services, advocating strongly for the Geelong business community and significantly improving its financial performance. “My time at the chamber has been a real privilege,” he said. “Working with so many people who are supporting each other and building our community has been amazing. I’m grateful for our achievements and look forward to passing the baton to a new CEO who can continue the chamber’s good work.”

Chamber president John Stekelenburg thanked Mr Flynn for his service. “Ben’s ability to connect with our members has been outstanding and he is a trusted voice for local businesses,” he said. “The chamber is in a really strong position and it’s been a pleasure to see Ben face all the challenges and grow our organisation.” The chamber board will now recruit a new chief executive for the position.

A Torquay church group is planning an event to help cut landfill waste. Nazareth Parish, which covers the Catholic communities of Grovedale, Torquay and Anglesea, will hold a car boot sale at the Torquay church car park adjacent to the Surf Coast Highway on Saturday, November 26. “We want locals to bring goods that otherwise would end up in landfill,” organiser Rosemary Featherston said. “The aim is for sellers to declutter, and for buyers to repurpose and reuse the ‘treasures’ they will find. “Anything that finds a new home cuts the volume of unwanted goods that end up at the tip and has to be good for the environment.” The group expects goods on offer to cover everything from arts and crafts, CDs, clothing, bicycles, books, small items of furniture, household goods, plants, sporting goods, surfboards, retro tapes, tools and toys. “Sellers will pocket cash to help them with the demands on their Christmas purses and wallets,” Mrs Featherston said. Each site will cover two parking spaces – one for the vehicle and an adjacent spot to display goods – and a minimal fee of $30 will apply. The sale will run from 8am to 2pm and intending sellers should register on www.trybooking.com/CDTHW or contact Rosemary on 0400 044 387. Friday, 18 November, 2022 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 19

Out and about More than 250 Geelong Gallery members, artists and community leaders joined Geelong Gallery president Eliza Holt and director and chief executive Jason Smith for the opening of the summer suite of exhibitions on Friday, November 11. The focus of the evening was Geelong Gallery exhibition ‘Mandy Martin-A persistent vision’. Guests heard from Australian Print Workshop chief executive Anne Virgo, who discussed the career of Mandy Martin (1952-2021), who was a critically acclaimed Australian artist with a career spanning 45 years. Martin was a feminist artist who emerged and rose to prominence in the mid-1970s. The exhibition includes iconic industrial and landscape subjects and has been programmed to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the artist’s birth.

MOTOR

Outlander plugs into the future By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring For those who think the switch from ’dirty’ fossil fuels to ’clean’ electric power is too severe. Flat battery; no go; range anxiety? Happily, there is a halfway house - hybrid power. Petrol / electric hybrid vehicles have been around for years - think Toyota Prius and Honda Insight - the former still on the streets, leading the way, especially in the fleet world such as that of taxis. In these vehicles an internal combustion engine is used to charge a battery, which feeds an electric motor, partially powering the car. Still a source of pollution. What if the engine could be by-passed and the battery charged externally? Enter the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, in which petrol and battery power are used in tandem to drive the vehicle at optimum reduced emissions until the battery is out of juice and internal combustion automatically takes over completely. Range relief! The first sports utility vehicle to take advantage of the combined powertrain, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which made its way Down Under a decade ago, has sold more than 300,000 units, making it the most popular plug-in in the world. The latest generation comes in four variants - ES five-seater, aspire five-seat, Exceed 5+2 seater and Exceed Tourer 5+2-seater. Prices start at $54,590 and top out at $68,490, plus on-road costs. On test was the Outlander PHEV Aspire 5 seat at $60,990.

Styling Compared with the outgoing model, the new Outlander is longer, wider, taller, heavier and boasts a longer wheelbase. Muscular flared fenders match its broad shoulders. Sharp daytime running lights cap off an LED headlamp cluster designed to provide greater

visibility over long distances, while extended horizontal rear LED lights with T-shaped ends highlight the Outlander PHEV’s distinctive shoulders. Machined 20-inch alloy wheels bolster the Aspire’s impressive stance.

Infotainment All plug-in Outlanders feature a 9-inch touchscreen displaying menu and maps clearly and moving between modes is simple, while the Aspire grade has a 12.3-inch digital information set-up showing powertrain info and speed, plus other configurable info.

Safety The Outlander PHEV shares the five-star ANCAP safety grade won by its petrol-only sibling earlier this year. Active safety includes autonomous emergency braking (forward and

reverse), lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert and surround view camera. Passive safety is covered by eight airbags, including in the front centre position. With the lack of engine noise the car lets out a muffled bell ringing sound to alert unwary pedestrians.

a spread of driving tasks, the test car came up on average with energy consumption of just over 20.0 kWh per 100 kilometres, against a maker’s claim of 19.2 kWh / 100km. The petrol engine chips in only if you load up the acceleration or the vehicle tops 135 km/h. It also helps charge the battery, as does braking through kinetic energy conversion. Mitsubishi claims, on dual fuel, the PHEV uses 1.5 litres per 100 kilometres. With the battery flat, the engine automatically shoulders the load, recording on test, fuel consumption of around 5 litres per 100 kilometres. The system’s performance can be tracked visually through an animated diagram on the instrument panel. Home charging from a 240V outlet, the maker claims 9.5 hours from zero to 100 per cent, or 6.5 hours from a domestic wall box. Alternatively, charging to 80 per cent can be done from the on-board generator in one-and-a-half hours. Driving to conditions are catered for by up to seven modes - I stuck mostly to Normal during the test - available through a wheel on the centre console, while four power modes Normal, EV, Save and Charge - can be accessed by means of an adjacent button. Also close by is a button that calls into action regenerative braking strong enough to allow one-pedal driving, good enough to bring the car almost to a complete stop.

Driving You meet a better class of cabbie at public charging stations; I’m talking about the Uber driver ’of a certain age’ and his Tesla Model 3. With a lazy half hour to spare during a busy schedule we chatted while the test Outlander PHEV was on fast charge. Forty minutes later, the Outlander battery 80 per cent juiced (70-odd kilometres range on the clock), with $4.09 paid, we parted ways. During

Summary Despite the initial cost of ownership, with petrol prices rapidly heading north, any vehicle that eases the wallet wound is worth looking into. The Outlander Aspire plug-in hybrid covers all petrol / electric bases without the anxiety of its meagre 80-plus kilometre limited EV range. The industry-leading warranty is the icing on the cake.

Anglesea finishes third Anglesea placed third overall at Life Saving Victoria’s (LSV) second beach carnival for the 2022-23 season. South Melbourne LSC hosted the carnival, which attracted more than 100 of Victoria’s best beach athletes, including athletes from Anglesea, Jan Juc, Lorne, Ocean Grove and Torquay SLSCs. Anglesea finished with 67.5 points thanks to a double threat performance from Cooper Stanley, who won both the open and under-19 men’s beach sprint. Teammate Pierre Lee took out both the open and under-19 beach flags and a win in the open mixed beach relay in a composite team with Seaspray SLSC and second in the open men’s beach relay, teaming up with Hampton LSC. Acting manager aquatic sport David Potter said it was great to show off LSV’s athletes’ rescue ready skills on the first day of the patrol season at a bustling inner-city beach. “This weekend, lifesavers at many locations across Victoria raised the red and yellow flags to mark the start of patrol season and at South Melbourne it was even more exciting to have 100 of our volunteers who will be patrolling these beaches across the summer, displaying the skills that translate to saving lives,” he said. “From the iconic beach flags event, demonstrating the quick reflexes and thinking required in a rescue situation, to the traditional belt and reel race, combining proud lifesaving history and modern day rescue practices, it shows how truly unique our sport is.” The third beach carnival for the season will take place at Hampton LSC on Friday, December 16.

Geelong Lawn Pink through to final LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers For the second season in a row, Tuesday Midweek finals have been hampered by rain. Section 1 saw Geelong Lawn Pink make it through to next week’s grand final with a 5-1 win over Surfcoast Bellbrae in the first semi-final. While the score looked one sided, Pink didn’t have it all their own way with two tie-breaks and three sets decided by one service break. The second semi went to Surfcoast Torquay in a slight upset over Geelong Lawn White. White had beaten Torquay twice during the season, but Torquay handled the conditions well to take the first four sets. Tthen with the decision beyond doubt and hail starting to pelt, the final two sets weren’t played. Section 2 was a tale of two halves with Ocean Grove winning its semi over Point Lonsdale 6-0, while Winchelsea inched over the line at three sets all and four games over Grovedale. Susan Bissett lead from the front for Ocean Grove at number one only dropping four games for the day, while Andea Spiller and Sue Sutherland won two sets apiece to help Winch to its win. Aireys Inlet would be rueing its 6-0 loss to Geelong Lawn last week, as this pushed it to third, missing out on a home final this week against Anglesea in Section 3. Anglesea made the most of the home court advantage in the second-semi, winning through to the grand final four sets to two. In the first semi, minor premiers Geelong Lawn was upset by fourth placed Highton four sets to love, with the final two sets not needed. It was a preliminary final for Surfcoast Bellbrae and Point Lonsdale in Section 4. The match was moved to Anglesea due to soggy courts, but Bellbrae recovered well from its first-semi loss to Moolap last week, getting 26 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 18 November, 2022

over the line four sets to two, with Kerryn Viner winning her three sets. The team will be looking forward to the rematch with Moolap next week. It was a similar result in Section 5, with the difference being that Barwon Heads as the away team, took a four sets to two win against minor premiers Clifton Springs. The Heads managed to sneak into the prelim with a three sets all, four-game lead away from home to Teesdale in the second semi last week, and have continued their form this week. Clifton Springs had a horror finals run going down in a tight four sets to two loss to Aireys Inlet in the first-semi before a loss this week. It was a three-game difference that got Anglesea over the line at St Stephens in Section 6, with the teams tied at three sets all. The match was evenly poised across the day with

the away team just getting over the line in the most closely matched section of the season. A good start saw Hamlyn Park into next week’s grand final in Section 7, with a three sets all, two-game difference over Western Heights. The home team took the first two sets 6-3, 6-1 before the Heights hit back taking the third set 6-3 and narrowly missing the fourth in a tie-break. The Heights proceeded to win the final two sets 6-3, 7-6, but couldn’t make up the game difference, leaving the Park to face St Mary’s next week. Everything went as the ladder would predict in Section 8 with Grovedale and St Mary’s both winning their semis 5-1. The two teams have been standouts at the top of the ladder, and while Moolap and Leopold played well, they were unable to match them on the scoreboard.

With the weather making it challenging for anglers to get out for a fish there are still lots of good reports coming through as the fish don’t seem to mind this weather at all. Snapper have remained a popular target this week with anglers hauling in some fantastic fish and they seem to be in good numbers also. The outer harbour of Corio Bay remains the hot spot this week with plenty of areas producing fish. Clifton Springs, Avalon, the edge of the channel pretty much everywhere and Portarlington are all holding great numbers of fish. Fishing on anchor with a spread of baits out along with a consistent burley trail as per usual is doing the damage. Anglers casting soft plastics have been having some great success also with snapper certainly taking a liking into them. Four to five inch Gulp, Zman and Keitech soft plastics have all been a hot favourite as of late, both natural and bright colours have been very effective. To say St Leonards pier is a current snapper hotspot at the moment would be an understatement. It is on fire with reports coming in nearly daily of snapper to over 5kg being caught. Anglers launching pilchards and squid off the pier have been doing some serious damage. Soft plastics probably won’t be ideal here but if you want to soak a bait, this is the spot at the moment. Queenscliff has been fishing very well for anglers chasing a feed of whiting and squid with bag limit captures of both species being very achievable and some quality fish among thosebags. The key for the squid is to find the cleaner water as there is a lot of filthy water about at the minute and it’s making it very tough for the squid to see and hunt. Offshore Barwon Heads is still producing some fantastic snapper fishing at the moment and yet again Gone Fishing Charters has been right in the thick of it all putting its customers on some fantastic fish. There seems to be a large number of fish ranging between 30cm to 50cm along with plenty getting up and over 5kg. Wurdibuloc reservoir has been turning it on for some anglers this past week with redfin, brown and rainbow trout all on the chew. Casting off the rock wall with hardbody lures has been super effective with all species taking a liking to them. Rapala F7’s have been a hot pick over the past week.

Anglesea guns thrive in GCA 1sts By Justin Flynn Ned Cooper took no time settling into Geelong Cricket Association 1sts by making a superb century for North Geelong in round one on Saturday. The former Anglesea star opening bat made 117 from 150 deliveries as North Geelong posted 5-273 against Highton. It was the first time this season that the GCA cricketers got onto the field after rain and floods washed out all of October and half of November. Left-hander Cooper was well supported by Curtly Balshaw (42 off 61) and Layton

McCann (also 42 from 61) while Alistair McCann played a great cameo with an unbeaten 34 from 23. Highton never looked like chasing down the imposing total. Paceman Dale Kerr, who crossed from Anglesea to North Geelong with Cooper this season, took 3-19 to help rout Highton for 125. Alistair McCann capped off a good game with three wickets of his own. Newtown & Chilwell skipper George Rhodes was the architect behind his side’s big win against Lara. Rhodes made 104 from 107 deliveries and

his innings included 15 fours and a six. He was supported by George Chilsholm, who made 65 in the final total of 7-263. It was a one-man show for Lara in reply with Kaden Marum batting superbly for his 100 from 122 balls, but the final total of 187 was well short. Rhodes left no doubt about his player of the match status with three wickets for the Two Blues. East Belmont chased down 241 for victory against St Joseph’s with Shane McNamara making a fine 108 not out and Josh Lacey 81 from just 68 balls. Earlier in the day Luke Ibbs (88) and

Andrew Casey (78) put on 168 for the opening wicket for Joeys, but the innings fell away when Dylan McMahon (4-46) was introduced into the attack. Grovedale had little trouble in chasing down South Barwon’s 117 all out. Former Portarlington seamer Devlin Foott (3-25) and former Drysdale spinner Bailey Sykes (3-20) ripped through the South Barwon line-up with only Pat Richards (45) looking likely to hang around. Grovedale got the runs in the 20th over with Michael McNeel (39 not out off 40) and Jordan Moran (36 not out off 36) passing the small total two wickets down.

No mercy shown by Grovers

Brothers dig in for a 100-run stand Barrabool made an imposing total against Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association ladder leader Jan Juc on day one of round six on Saturday. Kane Pickering led the way with a patient 88 from 205 balls after the Bulls were in early trouble at 2-11. A 100-run third-wicket stand between Pickering and brother Aaron Pickering, gave the innings momentum with Aaron making 48 from 106. Brydon Barnett chipped in with 51 off 53 and David Grigg smashed 32 off 16 to give Barrabool a big total of 8-275 to defend this weekend. Tom Kearney sent down 21 overs of spin for the Sharks for the excellent figures of 3-55. Inverleigh will need to bowl well if it is to take the points from Armstrong Creek. Inverleigh was all out for 132 with only Josh Page looking likely with 52 from 123 deliveries. All the Titans bowlers were disciplined. Daniel Maclean bowled 19 overs for his 2-28 and Cal O’Brien snared 3-15. In reply, the Titans are seven without loss. Queenscliff made 165 against Ocean Grove with Kane Leathem (45 from 71) top scoring. Ocean Grove is 2-55 in reply. Anglesea is headed for first-innings points and is a chance for an outright victory against St Leonards. Again the Saints failed to reach triple figures,

being all out for 97 with new-ball pair Darcy Elliott (3-31 from 13 overs) and Dylan Taylor (3-20 from 11.4) the chief wicket takers. In reply, Anglesea is 0-58 with Simon Umbers (32 not out) and Ty Norman (18 not

out) making it through to stumps. Anglesea will look to knock the remaining 40 runs off quickly and send the Saints back in.

Ocean Grove showed no mercy to Bell Post Hill in Geelong Bowls Region Pennant competition on Saturday. The 54-shot win kept the Grovers on top of the ladder, four points clear of Highton. Ocean Grove won all three rinks with Brad Pavey coming away with a 39 to 12 triumph. Peter Lee won by 21 and Matt Flapper’s rink emerged victorious by six. Highton took the points in a competitive match against Queenscliff. Steve Sullivan made sure Queenscliff grabbed two points with a 30 to 17 win against Dan Priddle, but Jeremy Fitzgerald won by 14 and David Priddle won by 11 to give Highton a 12-shot win and 14 points. Queenscliff is in fourth place while Highton sits in second. Bareena moved into sixth place with a 14-shot win against City of Geelong. All rinks were close with Shane Jones edging out Nick Craven by two, Ryan Jones pushed past Zane Lugg by six and Ben Wilding overcame Bradley Prior by six for a 65 to 51 win. Drysdale stayed in fifth place, but didn’t have things all its own way against Lara. Lara is still searching for its first win, but was competitive against the Hawks. Ashley Rees had the biggest win of the afternoon with a 32 to 14 victory against Don Grellet. John Fry won by seven for Drysdale and Cal Inderberg won by five. Eastern Park stayed in third spot with a 17-shot win against Ocean Grove 2. Alan Drury won his rink for Ocean Grove, but Glenn Slattery and Adam Martin made sure of it for Eastern Park. The loss means Ocean Grove 2 is in seventh spot. Highton meets Eastern Park this weekend in a match that could determine who is Ocean Grove 1’s main challenger. Both Ocean Grove sides meet each other in a local derby while Lara hosts Bell Post Hill in a clash between the two bottom teams. Fifth placed Drysdale hosts Bareena, sixth, and Queenscliff travels to City of Geelong.
