A prehistoric holiday blast

Youngsters across the region have been delighting in all things dinosaurs at the Jurassic Creatures exhibition in Waurn Ponds. The realistic animatronics exhibition has more than 30 dinosaurs and spectacular activities that immerse you in a prehistoric time. Kids, and adults for that matter, have been flocking to the world full of life-like moving dinosaurs. Cooper (pictured), 10, bravely put his head inside the mouth of a parasaurolophus and said he was enjoying the lifelike exhibition. Jurassic Creatures is on until January 22. More pictures: Page 28

Call to end duck hunt By Matt Hewson Geelong Duck Rescue (GDR) has called for the state government to put an end to annual duck hunting seasons. Victorian’s duck season for 2023 is regulated to begin on Saturday, March 18, but GDR has put out calls for Agriculture Minister Gayle Tierney to scrap the season altogether due to an ongoing decline in duck populations and the “lack of social licence” for the activity. GDR chair and long-term wildlife rescuer Natalie Kopas said duck hunting in the Lake Connewarre state game reserve, which encompasses Reedy Lake, Hospital Swamp and Lake Connewarre itself, posed a

threat to the sustainability of the local duck populations. “With continued threats from climate change and the ongoing decline in waterbird numbers, it is just madness to add yet another threat to ducks in the name of a recreational pursuit,” Ms Kopas said. “This isn’t sustainability. It’s brutality.” She described duck hunting as an “outdated activity”. “The majority of Victorians are not duck shooters; there are 26,000 and less than half of those are active. “We’re killing our native wildlife, just to satisfy a handful of duck shooters.” Trent Leen, who currently serves as

conservation officer for Geelong Field and Game, is on the board of Field and Game Australia and is a strategic planner for the wetland environmental taskforce, said the evidence didn’t support GDR’s claims. “Habitat loss is the biggest factor we have with the sustainability of our waterfowl,” Mr Leen said. “Even Richard Kingsford, who does the Eastern Australian Waterbird Aerial Survey stated that the harvesting from duck hunting has no effect on the sustainability of waterfowl. Our harvest is insignificant compared to the actual total population. “Duck hunting’s been banned in New South Wales for many years, and if you have a look at

the data their populations are still in decline, because the habitat’s the most important factor.” Mr Leen pointed out that the conservation work done by Field and Game, which was founded to ensure the sustainability of duck populations, had a far more positive impact than hunting had a negative one. “The duck season’s only three months of the year, but we’re out there for the rest of the year doing conservation projects,” he said. “We put a higher value on ducks than anybody else. For that reason, we’re out there working and rehabilitating wetlands to ensure that commodity stays sustainable and flourishes.”

Community rallies to help helicopter victims Geelong mother Winnie De Silva has thanked online cash donors for their “amazing” generosity after she and her son Leon were injured in a helicopter collision that killed four people on the Gold Coast. Winnie, husband Neil, and Leon were enjoying a holiday in Queensland when mother and son decided to take a joy ride in a Sea World helicopter at the Gold Coast Broadwater. The family set up a GoFundMe campaign, which has so far raised $67,000 to help pay for their medical and other costs while they remain on the Gold Coast. Shortly after take-off, the helicopter collided with another Sea World chopper, causing it to plummet to the ground. Winnie, 33, was rushed to the Gold Coast

University Hospital where she was admitted in a serious but stable condition, while critically injured Leon was taken to Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane where he was induced into a coma. Leon awoke last Thursday, January 7, and he remains in a stable condition. The 40-year-old pilot of the De Silva’s helicopter, Ashley Jenkinson, was killed in the crash, as were three other passengers, Vanessa Tadros, 36, and Britons Ron and Diane Hughes, 65 and 67. Vanessa’s son Nicholas Tandros, 10, survived but also remains in a critical condition at Queensland Children’s Hospital. The second helicopter was able to land safely, with all of its six passengers escaping without serious injury. Winnie released a statement praising donors’

generosity to their GoFundMe campaign. “We are so grateful for the generous contributions to the GoFundMe page. The generosity of people has been amazing, and I can’t thank you enough,” she said. “More importantly, I continue to pray for the recovery of young Nicholas, who was seated near me in the helicopter, and offer my heartfelt condolences to the families of the other passengers. “It is an unthinkable and difficult time for us all.” More than 1300 donors contributed to the De Silva fundraiser, with dozens of people pledging amounts between $200 and $700 in the space of three days.

Cats’ flag success the focus of art Armstrong Creek caricature artist Zane Canavan is “excited and a little bit anxious” about his debut exhibition. Canavan was the winner of Newtown’s The Space gallery’s People’s Choice awards and will exhibit alongside Sis Gardner from January 18 to 28. Canavan is self-confessed “footy head” and his caricatures are AFL-related. A die-hard Sydney Swans fan, Canavan said it was tough to draw a 2022 Geelong premiership poster after the Cats thrashed the Swans on grand final day last year. “It’s so hard to win one (premiership) and we were there but being in Geelong they are my second team,” he said. “Geelong were the best team all year and absolutely the best team on the day.” Canavan will exhibit drawings of AFL stars such as Joel Selwood, Gary Ablett Junior, Patrick Dangerfield, Eddie Betts, Lance Franklin and Dustin Martin. He was halfway through a drawing of Martin when the Richmond star went and got another tattoo. “I grew up drawing,” Canavan said. “I was looking at getting into graphic design and life got in the way of that and went in a different path.” He stopped when he was in his late teens, but then took it up again when his son was born. He was a light sleeper so Zane decided to fill in the time between short sleeps by drawing again. “I hope it installs memories or feelings that you have attached to these players,” he said. “It’s just a bit of fun to be able to see the characters up on the wall but it’s also art at the same time.” The People’s Choice exhibit is at The Space

Beach Volleyball will return to Eastern Beach.

Volleyball fun returns to Eastern Beach Beach volleyball will return to Eastern Beach during the Festival of Sails later this month. Showcasing some of Victoria’s sharpest beach volleyball talent, the competition is making a return to the festival after an almost 10-year hiatus. Organiser Greg Jury said he expects a strong turnout over the three days of competition, from January 26-28. “Beach volleyball is incredibly popular around Geelong with more than 300 local teams regularly competing against each other and this activation on Eastern Beach will be a real showcase of their talents,” he said. “Last month, we had the very successful Great Ocean Road Beach Volleyfest at Torquay which attracted world-class international competitors and we’re hugely excited that Geelong has been chosen to host the aquatic events – including beach volleyball for the next Commonwealth Games in March 2026.” Kicking off the beach competition on Thursday, January 26 will be a ‘dress-up’, four-a-side round. “It will be a bit of fun with prizes for best dressed and a great opportunity to get some mates together for a hit,” Mr Jury said. “Then on the Friday, we’ll move into a more serious competition mode with the under-18 state teams fighting it out for the top honours and then on Saturday, the battle will be on between some of our elite players for the title of king and queen of the beach. It should make for spectacular viewing.” People interested in nominating a team for the competition should contact greg@geelongvicbeach.com.au

160 YEARS AGO IN GEELONG From the pages of the Geelong Chronicle MISSION TO THE NEW HEBRIDES In July 1862, the newspaper announced that a Scottish missionary would give a talk in aid of the mission to the New Hebrides. The New Hebrides was a group of Melanesian islands in the south-west Pacific Ocean – now known as Vanuatu. “A missionary address will be delivered at the Geelong Mechanics’ Institute, by the Revd J.G. Paton (from Tanna). Native Gods, clubs, spears, arrows, dresses etc. will be shown; after which a collection will be made in aid of the new mission ship. The Chair will be taken at seven o’clock.” The Reverend John Gibson Paton hailed from Scotland and, in 1858, was appointed as a missionary to the island of Tanna, one of the southern-most islands in the New Hebrides group. Early in 1862, he was forced to flee the island after a civil war broke out on Tanna. Unable to carry out his mission, he came to Australia to raise funds. His tales of close encounters with cannibals and his interesting collection of indigenous artefacts won him many admirers. The Geelong lecture was one of 470 meetings, over about 18 months, conducted by Paton across NSW, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. He raised over 5,000 pounds which he used to recruit more missionaries and cover the running costs of a ship to be used for the mission. He undertook a second mission to the New Hebrides in 1866 – this time on the island of Aniwa, about 15 miles north-east of Tanna. It lasted until 1872 when he left due to illness in the family. He was a strong opponent of the Melanesian

‘slave trade’. His missionary writings gained him a significant following right around the world. In his late 70s, he toured the United States and Great Britain and spoke at over 800 meetings, raising another 13,000 pounds! His love of the south Pacific was profound and he continued to visit the New Hebrides whenever he could. He died in Melbourne in

1907, aged 83, and is buried in Boroondara Cemetery, Kew.

Food waste diverts from landfill The addition of two in-vessel HotRot composting units at the City of Greater Geelong’s Anakie organics processing facility will allow more food waste to be processed locally. The two units will help divert up to 1200 tonnes of food waste from landfill each year and have begun processing material from the Lara Food Waste Collection Trial, the new Wurriki Nyal offices and other city-managed facilities. The HotRots convert food waste into high-quality compost for use in the city’s parks including the Botanic Gardens sporting

grounds and local farms. The installation of the second unit was supported by a $250,000 grant from Sustainability Victoria on behalf of the Victorian government. “The expansion of this facility to involve food waste builds on council’s commitment to the circular economy and our food waste trial in Lara,” deputy mayor Anthony Aitken said. “Not only are we converting waste into high-grade compost for our community, keeping the process local means we’re also cutting down the emissions from transporting

it outside the region.” Residents can purchase compost produced from the region’s food and garden waste from local garden supply stores by asking for ‘Better for Geelong’ compost. A list of suppliers is at geelong.link/bettercompost. Food waste makes up a third of the average household landfill bin, with a food waste service for all Greater Geelong households a key goal of the city’s Waste and Resource Recovery Strategy. The Lara Food Waste Collection Trial has collected approximately 200 tonnes of food waste to date – equivalent to 20 full waste

collection trucks – material that would have otherwise gone to landfill. Findings from the trial will help inform a gradual rollout of a food waste collection service across Geelong in 2025-26, when the city will have more food waste processing capacity in place. The city has also signed on to use Barwon Water’s new Regional Renewable Organics Network facility at Black Rock Water Reclamation Plant in Connewarre, which aims to convert 40,000 tonnes of organic waste to renewable energy and nutrient-rich products for agriculture from mid-2025.

Winchelsea Leisure Time Centre will soon be reopened after repair works to the building were completed. Surf Coast Shire councillor Adrian Schonfelder said council had been liaising with the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA) and Winchelsea Primary School to resolve ongoing problems with the floor. “I am pleased to advise that the Victorian School Building Authority has completed all rectification works on the Winchelsea Leisure Time Centre,” he said. “The building has now been handed back to the Winchelsea Primary School and I can’t wait to see the Winchelsea community making use of this important multi-purpose space in January 2023.” Works included under flooring ventilation, a concrete apron and improved drainage around the facility, improved guttering and works to the roof as well as repairs to the timber flooring. The Leisure Time Centre building itself and surrounding land is owned by the Department of Education, but Surf Coast Shire Council is responsible for maintenance and upkeep of the facility while the school handles bookings. The agreement splits the costs for maintenance of the facility between the school (70 per cent) and council (30 per cent) to reflect its primary use as a school facility. “We understand how much the Leisure Time Centre means to the Winchelsea community and it’s good to be able to celebrate this space once again with community gatherings, basketball games and school concerts,” Cr Schonfelder said.

Aquatic and community hub is taking shape The three pools at the new Northern Aquatic and Community Hub in Norlane have passed their first tests with flying colours, with hydrostatic tests confirming the 25-metre, warm water and leisure pools are watertight. Construction of the new facility, which will replace the popular but ageing Waterworld Leisure Centre, started in February 2022 and is expected to be finished in early 2024. In recent months significant structures such as the gym and the multi-purpose community hall have also started to take shape. Community members can see through viewing portals cut into the fencing 6 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 13 January, 2023

surrounding the site on the corner of Cox Road and the Princes Highway. The hub is being funded in partnership by the council, who are providing over $48 million, the state government ($8.5 million) and the Australian government ($8.26 million). Deputy mayor Athony Aitken, who visited the site with Lara MP Ella George this week, said it was exciting to see the Aquatic and Community Hub taking shape. “This is a facility we have worked so hard to make a reality and it is amazing to see it starting to come to life,” he said. “The build is at a point now where you can

start to imagine what it will look like once it’s finished. “It’s going to be a facility which will bring great pride to our northern suburbs. With a magnificent new community events venue, a health and aquatics wellbeing precinct, and a place everyone in Greater Geelong can enjoy and use. “The council has made a huge investment and we are so thankful to the state and federal governments for their contributions.” The city has released images showing what the facility will look like once finished, with 3D architects’ renders depict the

main features, including: • Lap pool and waterslides; • Warm water pool, spa and steam room; • Learn to swim pool; • Mezzanine level gym overlooking the aquatic facilities; • Multi-purpose community performance hall; • Childcare facilities; and • Extensive landscaped outdoor public open space areas.

New primary care clinic opens Geelong’s new Priority Primary Care Centre (PPCC), where residents can access free urgent medical care, opened early this month. The PPCC, in Belmont, is a GP-led service for people seeking access to urgent medical care that do not need hospital care. It will be based at Eastbrooke Family Clinic, 75 Roslyn Road, Belmont. The PPCC is open seven days per week from 11am to 9pm. The service is free, and patients do not require an appointment. The Belmont centre is one of 25 PPCCs announced by the state government in a bid to offer care for people with conditions that require urgent attention but not an emergency response. The service is funded

through Western Victoria Primary Health Network (WVPHN). The PPCC will treat patients with urgent conditions like lacerations or cuts requiring stitches, basic fractures, minor burns, rashes, ear nose and throat infections, other infections, and gastroenteritis. Patients requiring non-urgent regular medical care will be redirected to their regular GP for ongoing management. WVPHN chief executive Rowena Clift said a higher number of people usually attend hospital emergency departments during the holiday season, so opening the PPCC in Geelong in early January would take some of that pressure off emergency departments. Patients experiencing an emergency or

life-threatening conditions should still attend a hospital emergency department. This includes conditions such as severe breathing difficulties leaving the person unable to speak, stroke symptoms, anaphylaxis, significant bleeding, deep or large burns, and major breaks or major fractures. Deakin University will lead a study to evaluate the impact of the new service on the demand for other services including general practice and emergency departments.

replaced with coaches. More than 1.65 kilometres of track were installed as part of the project, as were 2,700 sleepers, 25 kilometres of signalling cabling and a 4-kilometre pressure sewer system. The stabling yards are part of a long-running series of projects worth over $1 billion to improve services on the busy Geelong line, which are being delivered by Rail Projects Victoria through the $4 billion Regional Rail Revival program. The Waurn Ponds Station upgrade, which began in mid-2020 and was completed in May 2022, has resulted in the extension of 20 peak and shoulder peak services to the station each week. South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman thanked the community for its support of the

rail improvement projects. “The new train stabling will play an important role in supporting our upgrades to the Geelong Line delivering more frequent and reliable services along Victoria’s busiest regional rail corridor,” he said. “The train stabling, along with the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds Duplication, will enable more trains on the busy Geelong Line for these growing communities.” Major construction on the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds Duplication began in November 2022 and will allow five trains to run per hour during peak times for Marshall and Waurn Ponds stations. The South Geelong to Waurn Ponds duplication is set to be completed in late 2024.

Serving up helpings of kindness Brooke Murphy’s work with Feed Me Surf Coast has led to her being named a Surf Coast Local Legend.

rooke Murphy made a pact with the universe when her eldest daughter made it home to Australia from India 45 minutes before international airspace closed in the shadow of the pandemic. She knew her daughter would have been OK with lifelong family friends in India if she didn’t make it. “But I wanted her home with us safely,” Brooke said. “And the thoughts of the hundreds of thousands of other young people stranded in many parts of the world, unable to make it home to their families never left my thoughts.” Brooke was at Melbourne Airport when the last plane touched down with returning passengers. “And in that moment, I simultaneously thanked the universe for getting my daughter back home to me, and vowed I would do anything in my ability to assist any person stranded in our community who didn’t make it home,” Brooke said. Inadvertently the big-hearted charity Feed Me Surf Coast was born. “I’m a big believer in the universe always having a plan, as long as you are prepared to listen and follow the signs,” Brooke said. “The universe did deliver a sign, and shortly after I was introduced to Lana Purcell, the founder of Feed Me Bellarine. “I had been working at a homeless drop-in centre in Geelong that was closed down as a result of COVID-19 and it really affected me. I was at a loss wondering how the most vulnerable in our community would be supported during this unprecedented time. “Feed Me Bellarine was already responding to the rolling disastrous effects as COVID-19 hit our shores, and many families on the Surf

Coast were experiencing incredibly difficult times through job loss, children at home and uncertain future. “Feed Me Surf Coast was quickly established as the second location to the already established ‘Feed Me’ charity.” Brooke became its co-ordinator and remains its mainstay, and her leadership and devotion to its altruistic mission has qualified her as Surf Coast Shire’s latest Local Legend, recognising her positive impact on the lives of

others. Feed Me Surf Coast rescues food fit for consumption which would otherwise end up in landfills, and helps deliver it to people in need. Volunteers collect from 10 supermarkets every day – more than 3000kg a week – as well as restaurants, cafes, bakeries, wholesalers, growers and farmers. “We have 117 volunteer ‘Feedsters’ as we call ourselves, plus Torquay Lions, Surf Coast

Secondary College and Bellbrae Primary School students, along with young adults with disabilities and their carers,” Brooke said. “We load, unload, unpack, pack down, stack, reload and unload 600 to 700 crates a week. “Put simply, we rescue gigantic amounts of food that would otherwise end up in landfill. We feed hundreds upon hundreds of families, we cover our expenses and we are not funded by anyone.” Brooke said their feed me efforts were initially focused on 210 international seasonal workers stranded on the Surf Coast without employment, housing or support, and 270 international students who had arrived just a few weeks before the international lockdown. “We also quickly felt the burdens that everyday Australians in our community were experiencing – hardships that were not planned or expected but unimaginable by our middle-class standards,” Brooke said. “A small and committed group of community members spent day and night quietly responding to the needs of those who required support. And Brooke said the by-product of ‘all this back-breaking work’ is fairly extraordinary. “We have created a community within a community of multi-generational and multi-skilled, compassionate, intelligent, funny, sensitive, politically correct and terribly wayward, vibrant and shy, loud and quiet, flexible and firm, carefree and stern gang of ridiculous misfits doing amazing work,” she said. “We relieve hundreds of families from the daily burden of increased living costs.” Details: surfcoast.vic.gov.au/LocalLegends

nearby that the company had previously been burning other kinds of waste. “An employee told EPA officers he was feeding the fire with timber from a stockpile of waste that was approximately 30 metres square and two metres deep,” she said. “The stockpile contained treated timber which gives off chemical smoke when burned, as well as plaster, PVC pipe, nails, insulation, mesh, glass and wire, none of which should be burned.” Ms Francis said everyone has a responsibility

under Victoria’s general environmental duty to take reasonable actions to prevent pollution, and any business with a licence or permit from EPA has a list of specific conditions it must meet. “The EPA website has plenty of advice on the proper disposal of different types of waste; some can be recycled, some goes to landfill, and some types require specialist disposal for the protection of the community and the environment,” she said. “It’s important that treated timber and

other industrial waste isn’t burned as it releases toxins into the air, which is a health issue for neighbours and employees.” Under the Environment Protection Act 2017 and the Infringements Act 2006, the operator has the right to have the infringement notice reviewed or be considered by a court. Members of the public can report pollution by calling EPA’s 24 hour hotline on 1300 372 842 or providing details online at epa.vic. gov.au/report-pollution/reporting-pollution

Shared path extended Bellarine Rail Trail users can now access Eastern Gardens via a direct pathway. Pedestrians, cyclists and other active users will benefit from the improved shared path connections in East Geelong, Lara and Corio. The new Boundary Road shared path helps Greater Geelong residents in the eastern suburbs to travel from the Bellarine Rail Trail through to Eastern Gardens. The path is linked to the wider trail network, connecting the Barwon River Trail, Bellarine Rail Trail, Eastern Gardens, Waterfront and the Bay Trail. In addition, the Boundary Road path features a new type of crossing called a shared user path crossing. The crossing gives cyclists and pedestrians right of way over motorists with the added benefit of allowing cyclists to cross without having to get off their bikes. The crossing area is recognised by its yellow pavement, with ‘give way’ signs on both sides. Meanwhile, shared trail users around Lara will benefit from the development of stage 2

of the Hovells Creek shared path, running between Flinders Avenue and Curletts Road. This installation creates a continuous link from Station Lake Road to Windermere Road, Lara. The region’s most recent addition is the Bacchus Marsh Road shared user path running between Purnell Road and the Abattoir, including an upgrade of the carpark at St Francis Xavier Primary School.

Life changing connection Lucy Carpenter is getting much more out of life thanks to her new guide dog, Dottie. The 19-year-old Ocean Grover has low vision and said she feels less isolated, safer leaving home independently and more enthusiastic and energetic about life. Dottie was assigned to Lucy through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and has helped Lucy feel more comfortable on public transport and more confident attending her university lectures in Melbourne. Lucy said Dottie has also broken-down social barriers. When she is out in public with her canine companion by her side, she is now enjoying greater inclusion. “Prior to Dottie, I found it hard to meet new people, especially at university,” she said. “I would walk up with my cane, and we would head into class, but everyone would see my cane, know what it was for and never bring it up. Conversation-wise it made it awkward. “But now I have Dottie, she’s an easy conversation starter. People engage with me way more and I feel that awkwardness has gone. “When Dottie is with me, I haven’t had a single day where someone hasn’t spoken to me. “They ask her name, they comment on how beautiful she is and what great work guide dogs do, then we get into a conversation. It’s been really nice.” While Dottie has been life-changing for Lucy, not everyone is considered suitable to work with a guide dog. The main criteria is good cane skills. “People don’t realise how much goes into

getting a guide dog,” Lucy said. “I was on Guide Dog Victoria’s (GDV) waiting list for a while, then I had to do two extensive assessments to see if I was suitable

to work with a dog or not, all before I was matched with Dottie. “At my first assessment, a guide dog mobility instructor (GDMI) watched me

walk around familiar and unfamiliar areas using my cane to evaluate my skills. Then in my second assessment the GDMI held a guide dog harness handle next to me and I had to walk alongside him holding it so he could assess if I could follow a guide dog or not. “The GDMI also assessed my walking speed and how much tension I liked on the handle to see if I was comfortable with a dog who pulled me or if I didn’t like that feeling. There were also a lot of discussions about my needs and to match me with the right dog.” Finally, Lucy did get the all-important call of a possible match – Dottie. “I was so excited,” she said. “They brought her down to me to see if we matched, and I felt the connection straight away. “When we took our first walk, Dottie did everything right and it made me feel really good.” Confident in their match, the GDMI sent the pair off to Melbourne with three other people and their newly matched guide dogs. “We did 14 days of intensive training around the city with the GDMI, navigating the streets and hopping on and off public transport to see how our dogs performed with us,” Lucy said. “Then when we arrived home, we had one-on-one training with the GDMI, then once we got the tick of approval, we were off on our own. “We still have a few little creases to iron out, but Dottie has made me feel more energetic and enthusiastic about life. “I’m more confident, less isolated and I feel much safer when I travel alone. “Dottie and I are a great team and now I can’t imagine life without her.”

YOUR SAY Visiting from the UK

Buns for everyone

I am again visiting relatives and friends based in Ocean Grove for Christmas and New Year from Cambridge, England. When I left the UK recently there was much snow around and very low temperatures around 1C to 3C. We have a new prime minister, Rishi Sunak, who has made a great start to his premiership. Safe living, safe driving, healthy eating options and, as always, prevention is better than cure. Timothy Grout, Ocean Grove and Cambridge, UK

As hot cross buns are so popular and there are now many varieties, they should be supplied all year-round. They could simply be named spicy buns, and then have crosses added just before the Easter period. Melva Stott, Anglesea

It’s just not cricket Clearly Australia outclassed both the West Indies and South Africa throughout the summer’s Test series. The gap was so great,

curated wickets and parochial television commentary played no part influencing end game results. Suffice to say on the latter, much can be learned from the less is more doyen soccer commentator Martin Tyler. Shane Warne’s astute commentary was missed but Tim Lane did a top job in filling in part the breach. In the case of South Africa. A player quota protocol is now in place. Australian teams and others boycotted playing Test Cricket and Rugby to support the abolition of apartheid from 1968 until Nelson Mandela became a free man from Robben Island 22 years later.

Now capable Protea cricketers have had to go off-shore to earn an income. Fair to say it isn’t a conundrum but it will take time. Richard Worland, Hamlyn Heights

Surf volunteers needed One of Ocean Grove’s most loved events is back this year. Disabled Surfers Association (DSA) of Australia Ocean Grove branch is gearing up to get some smiles on dials and into the surf. The Ocean Grove DSA branch was founded in 2008 with the first official events taking place in the summer of 2009. DSA’s goal is to provide an inclusive experience for all people with any disability to experience the rush of riding a wave. With world-class beach facilities at Ocean Grove the experience includes special needs changing/amenities, wheelchair ramp access from the car park all the way to the sand and specialised beach wheelchairs to suit adults and children. DSA Ocean Grove is looking for volunteers to assist in and out of the water to ensure the smooth and safe running of the event.

“We are so excited to be holding our events again,” committee president Jeremy Swift said. “The days are so special to us all and such a good feeling being able to help others enjoy surfing and catch a few waves. “Putting Smiles on Dials is what we are all about and we need as many people as possible to help make our events happen.” Upcoming events are at Ocean Grove main beach on Sunday, February 5 and Sunday, March 5. Volunteers can register their interest at tinyurl.com/5n758yh7 or via disabledsurfers. org/vic-ocean-grove Disabled Surfers Association of Australia Ocean Grove branch aims to provide an inclusive experience for all people with any disability to experience the rush of riding a wave.

PICK OF THE WEEK

This high-octane crime drama follows a team of elite operatives as they put their lives on the line to neutralise global threats and protect the United States. In tonight’s first episode, “Secrets As Weapons”, the team investigates when a billionaire’s cryptocurrency wallet is hijacked en route to a safety vault in Switzerland. Then, in “American Optimism”, the crew look into the murky case of a US citizen in hot water in Madrid. He’s proclaiming his innocence after seeking sanctuary at the US embassy while still covered in the blood of his murdered Spanish boyfriend. Stars Luke Kleintank (pictured) and Heida Reed.

McENROE Nine, Sunday, 8pm

The Australian tennis event of the year, the Australian Open, is set to capture the nation’s attention from tomorrow, and this gripping documentary is the perfect apéritif before the oncourt action. As the original bad boy of the sport, controversial American player John McEnroe (pictured) enthralled with his finesse, but divided fans with his epic outbursts and explosive temper. In this moody and insightful exploration, director Barney Douglas reveals an entirely different side to McEnroe as the champion player offers frank and remarkable insights. Also featuring his wife, Patty Smyth, it’s the foul-mouthed, curly haired tennis star as you’ve never seen him before.

BEST OF BRITAIN WITH AINSLEY AND GRACE SBS Food, Tuesday, 8.30pm

UNDER COVER ABC TV, Monday, 8.30pm

The statistics are devastating: women over 55 are the fastest growing group of homeless people in Australia, with more than 250,000 women at risk of homelessness. This emotional documentary from director Sue Thomson (The Coming Back Out Ball Movie) reveals the faces behind these alarming numbers. Narrated by homegrown Hollywood star Margot Robbie, it’s a compelling, heartbreaking insight into the often secret lives of a diverse group of 10 Australian women, including Cheryl and Linda (both pictured). Shattering myths and misconceptions of homelessness, it opens viewers’ eyes to life’s complications and how society has let these women down.

The world – well, the coast of Britain – is chefs Ainsley Harriott and Grace Dent’s oyster in this fresh, seaside series. The intrepid foodies with a taste for fun check out some of the most beautiful holiday spots along with their delicious fare, with Devon on tonight’s itinerary. It’s no wonder the duo can’t stop smiling; not long into the episode, they get to devour hand-dived scallops. They also admire a hotel on its very own island and tuck into mushy pea fritters in an idyllic spot on the Exe estuary. Animal lovers rest assured: when Ainsley and Grace meet a family of otters they befriend them, rather than eat them. It’s hungry-making and heartwarming fare.

ENVIRONMENT

Two hoodies fledge by the beach It was wonderful to see two hooded plover hatchlings fledged at 40W at the western end of 13th Beach. There are vulnerable chicks at Point Lonsdale and on the Spit at Ocean Grove beach that are being looked after by the parent birds. Volunteers are looking over these birds, so please be mindful when enjoying the beach and take note of signs that ask people to give the birds space so that they can feed when the tide is low. I was very lucky to be asked by Heather, who lives in Wallington, to visit her partner’s farm near Winchelsea, where she noticed a pair of white-bellied sea eagles. The farm is located on the Barwon River so the wetland on the farm has been full to overflowing recently. Not only did I see one of the sea eagles, but there were also Australasian darters and little pied cormorants nesting, and black-fronted dotterels wandering on the edge of the swamp. Also, I was lucky to wander around the farm on the Bellarine where I conduct a Birds on Farms survey for Birdlife Australia, and I saw weebills, striated pardalotes, a pair of stubble quail and dusky woodswallows. I received an email from Brenton, who told me that he was walking in Point Lonsdale and on two different occasions heard the distinctive and indisputable call of an eastern koel. These birds belong to the cuckoo family and fly to Australia in breeding season from New Guinea and Indonesia, and some find their way down as far as Victoria. In fact they are becoming more commonly seen this far south. I received an email from Alan, who spotted six newly hatched cygnets at Blue Waters Lake. He noticed about a week previous that a swan that had been sitting on the nest was

becoming fairly restless and was standing up and looking underneath into the nest so Alan guessed that the cygnets had hatched then. The four cygnets that this pair previously raised are now around six months old and have been doing practice flights at low level around the lake for the past few weeks. One of these cygnets is smaller and only made one lap before a controlled splash down but the other three did a couple of laps getting up to about roof height before landing nearby their smaller sibling. Alan noted that at this rate, with swans normally breeding around April/May, we will have swans all year round. Alan also noted that three of the four white-faced heron chicks fledged at Blue Waters Lake and he thinks that fourth must have fallen out of the nest. A pair of magpie larks at Blue Waters Lake have also had another two hatchlings which should fledge in a week or so looking at their size. This is a different nest to the one that Alan photographed a couple of months ago. There are so many dragonflies and damselflies around the lake that the birds are just plucking them out of the sky close to their nests which Alan has found amazing to watch. I received an email from John from Leopold. He has been doing some great bird spotting, and sent me photos of a pallid cuckoo, a whistling kite, a nankeen kestrel, a

Alan’s swan family at Blue Waters Lake.

little eagle, a black kite and a wedge tail eagle being chased by a magpie. I received an email from Carole, who ventured to a place that is on my bucket list, namely Lord Howe Island. The weather prior to Christmas was a little disappointing, with wind, rain and certainly no tropical heat. Even so Carole was delighted with the variety of birdlife. Some of the youngest nestlings were affected by the wind and cold however devoted mums cared and sheltered them. Carole saw about 24 species and gained special delight from the unique species, such as the red-tailed tropicbird, noddies, white terns and the Lord Howe woodhen.

Chocolaterie owner Leanne Neeland said her staff had heaps of fun inventing “adventurous flavour combinations” inspired by their kitchen garden and orchard, local suppliers and distillers, and favourite cakes. The festival comes as the chocolaterie rebounds from the devastating effects of COVID-19 on local tourism last year. The event runs at Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery, Bellbrae, from next Wednesday to February 21. Luke Voogt

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.”

Geelong roared back to life in 2022 as tourists flocked to the region in their droves following two years of pandemic restrictions. The region’s event calendar was packed throughout the year, with the Foo Fighter’s March concert at GMHBA Stadium a highlight for many. The Independent looks back at the stories that made the headlines in 2022.

A look back at the news in 2022 JANUARY Drive-through COVID-19 testing sites were overwhelmed as a spike in infections peaked at over 1200 active cases in Greater Geelong.

Drysdale Football Club hosted Geelong’s very own Big Freeze, raising more than $52,000 for the fight against MND. Ocean Grove’s Rolling Pin Pies and Cakes was officially awarded Australia’s best pie for its mushroom and truffle pie despite the pie’s creator, Rolling Pin owner Nathan Williams, not liking mushrooms. JULY 2021 census data revealed Geelong was losing its religion faster than the rest of Australia, with non-religious people now outnumbering Christian faithful. The state government announced a $6.5 million investment to build accommodation that would provide sustainable, long-term solutions for older people in the Geelong area who face homelessness. Brandon Weening, 23, qualified to represent Australia at the World Youth Dart Championships in Wigan, England, where he ultimately reached the final 16 from a field of 96.

GEELONG BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AWARDS

Advertising feature

From Spain to Anakie, with love By Elle Cecil As the winner of the 2022 Geelong Business Excellence Awards’ (GBEAs) Regional Business Award, del Rios Winery and Restaurant has a rich history in the area. Having emigrated from Spain in the 1960s and finding a new home in the Geelong region, Agustin ‘Gus’ del Rio loved riding horses through the Brisbane Ranges. Upon needing somewhere to keep his horses, Gus purchased land in Anakie in 1994. Together with wife Esther and sons Andres, Josh and Marcus, the family planted their first vines in 1996, which ultimately spanned 37 acres. The early 2000s saw the winery aspect of the business emerge strongly, with all vines hand pruned and cared for, and grapes all handpicked. Further land was purchased in 2010 with several acres of vines, as well as a small restaurant, allowing for additional expansion into the hospitality industry. Now, driven by a strong love of quality food and wine, the del Rio family continue to pour their hearts into the business, described by commercial manager Josh del Rio as their ‘passion project.’ “The vines we grow, the wine we make and the food we serve is, to us, the best expression of what we love, and we’re doing so in a sustainable, handcrafted, artisan way,” Josh explains. Also producing their own liqueurs and vinegars as well as raising sheep and cows for the restaurant’s beef and lamb supply, Josh and the team at del Rios Winery and Restaurant are excited to have received the GBEAs’ 2022 Regional Business Award, sponsored by Gartland Property. “This is the first year we’ve entered, so it’s

really nice for the team to be acknowledged and recognised for all their hard work,” says Josh. “The entry process is very straightforward, and the process broadens your perspective a bit – you start thinking about what you do

relative to people in and out of your industry. “We’ve also had some really good brand recognition from the awards night. Just the other day we booked a large function for one of the evening’s sponsors!” The 2022 Geelong Business Excellence

Awards were proudly sponsored by LBW Business + Wealth Advisors, celebrating clever, creative and connected businesses in Geelong and the Bellarine, as well as the Surf Coast, Queenscliff and Golden Plains regions.

Don’t miss Fiddler on the Roof Producer Peter Wills says the timeless classic Fiddler on the Roof is as relevant today as it ever has been. The classic musical comes to Geelong this month and is set in the village of Anatevka. Audiences will journey with milkman Tevye, his family and all the villagers who are grappling with times of change and unrest. Wills says Footlight Productions had always wanted to stage the show for the Geelong community, and that it had renewed relevance for audiences even today. “When it first opened in 1964, no one thought a show about a struggling Jewish community would become ingrained in theatre history and emerge as one of the world’s most beloved musicals,” he says.

“But, decades on, audiences still embrace the timeless tale about family, faith, displacement, refugee resettlement and most of all, hope. “It is a powerful story, and an important reminder of how far we have come, but – more importantly – how far we still have to go. “The other thing that makes this musical so special is its timeless soundtrack, with a sublime score featuring well-known songs including Tradition, Sunrise Sunset, Matchmaker Matchmaker and If I Were A Rich Man.” Fiddler On The Roof stars a cast of 36 performers from Greater Geelong led by Jamie McGuane (playing Tevye), Hayley Wood, Cassie Chappell, Rose Chambers, Molly Jones, Molly Gleeson, Abbey Jones, David Mackay

and Geelong theatre veteran Howard Dandy. The production is directed by multi-Green Room nominated theatre director Alister Smith. Footlight Productions’ January shows have become a fixture in Geelong’s calendar, with previous hits including Chicago, Mamma Mia, Les Miserables, Beauty and the Beast, Mary Poppins and Wicked. Fiddler on the Roof is at Sacred Heart Performing Arts Centre from January 13 to 28. This will be the company’s first production at the centre following the temporary closure of the Geelong Performing Arts Centre. Tickets: trybooking.com/events/ landing/969103

Black Sorrows return to the Palais The Black Sorrows will perform at the Palais Geelong on Friday, January 20 to celebrate the limited release of their new live album, Live from the Shangri-La. Iconic Aussie performer and Black Sorrows frontman Joe Camilleri said the album showed how the band had continued to grow and evolve while still maintaining the spark and energy that had defined them over the years. “Live from The Shangri-La gives you a sense of how far the Sorrows have come, of how we’re always moving forward as a band,” Camilleri said. “It’s never about the past. Although we are always celebrating where we’ve been, we are

constantly finding a new and fresh pathway.” Live from the Shangri-La is a limited vinyl release, with only 1000 copies available. “You can’t buy it in shops, only from our website,” Camilleri said. “I just wanted to make 1000 vinyl records, all numbered, with a flamingo pink disk. “It’s a document of the band, how it works, how it changes and evolves.” Camilleri said one of the joys of the band was the way the songs were continually recreated as different musicians came and went. “I think one of the reasons why I keep certain players alongside me is that they take the opportunity to be what they want to be

inside the songs, and it becomes their thing,” he said. “Someone else may have recorded the song, but the person that’s playing it really owns it.” The bandleader said he was excited to return to the Palais after playing there decades ago. “I remember that gig really well, I think it was in 1976, and we were playing there with Flo and Eddie,” Camilleri recalled. “I just remember the Palais being a standout place, and I hope it really kicks off again. I think every neighbourhood needs a venue like that.” Matt Hewson

The Seven Seas, a full-length play by Ian Campbell, is set to be staged by Theatre 3triple2 at the Potato Shed on January 27. The story is about Emberly Donahue as she sails across the seven oceans of the world when she was 70. Later as an 84-year-old she recounts the story and lessons of her journey in a Edu talk. Through both the journey and the talk she revisits various impactful experiences of her life in sailing. This show is cinematic in style with frequent time shifting. “The play was written in the isolation of the pandemic and celebrates to the potential of the human spirit,” Campbell said. “Emberly’s life-changing journey unfolds before you as she recollects the surprising discoveries of her isolated voyage. “In a staged first reading of this brand-new play, you will meet Emberly Donahue who, as a 70-year-old, has completed a single-handed circumnavigation of the globe. A woman of utmost spirit courage and tenacity responding to a deep personal longing. “The play features all original songs in an expansive new musical score. This is a soulful journey of transformation an unexpected friendship made in the most remote parts of the world.” “I found the lyrics inspiring and was drawn to the simple but evocative imagery created by the text,” composer Danny Krivan said.

Delivery launches their classy debut at the Barwon Club For many bands and musicians, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was hugely disruptive: at best, an enforced hiatus broken only by embracing alternative modes of creativity; at worst, the end of bands and individual careers. For Melbourne post-punk/new wave five-piece Delivery, which launches its debut album Forever Giving Handshakes at the Barwon Club Friday, January 13, it was just the beginning. For guitarist/vocalist James Lynch and his partner, bassist/vocalist Bec Allan, the project was simply a way to stay creative while in lockdown. “It started as kind of a bedroom project to pass the time; we weren’t really planning to make a proper band out of it,” Lynch said.

“But then one thing led to another. The album has come off the back of that first music we made at home, with drum machines and a tiny little practice amp and a lot of synths straight into the computer. “But as soon as we had the opportunity to

not just be a band that makes songs in their bedroom, we jumped at it.” Though recorded in the humble surrounds of a rented rehearsal space, Forever Giving Handshakes has a classy, individual sound characterised by angular guitar riffs, warm synth lines, changing time signatures and a diverse range of vocals from four of the band’s five members. Lynch said that each band member brought their own musical tastes and sounds, as well as voices, to the outfit. “From the start, Bec and I come from relatively different musical backgrounds; I’ve played in garage bands with a bit more of a pop focus, and she’s played in some heavier punk bands,” he said. “So one of our aims from the start was to

make Delivery fuse those two sides together. And then when the band expanded we set the tone that if anyone wanted to bring a song in, they were singing it. “So Lisa (Rashleigh) and Sam (Harding), who both play guitar in the band, both stepped up pretty quickly, and now we all share that (vocal) responsibility. It makes it really fun and keeps the show interesting when you can swap it around like that. “The point of Delivery is just enjoying rocking out. Lots of guitar solos, lots of big moments, high energy fun, rock and roll.” Delivery will be supported by local punk royalty Vintage Crop and Alien Nosejob.

MOTOR

Hyundai charges to fully electric By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring The Hzyundai IONIQ 5 is a fully electric vehicle, that is it doesn’t work in tandem with a petrol or diesel engine. It’s is currently available in one grade in Australia, with the option of a rear-wheel single motor layout or a dual motor (rear and front) AWD. We feel that other models may follow later, but Hyundai Australia won’t comment on this. Time will tell… DRIVETRAIN The IONIC 5 RWD has a 72.6 kWh electric motor mounted at the rear that produces 160kW of power and 350 Nm of torque with a listed WLTP range of 451 km. The AWD version has motors at the front and rear with outputs of 225 kW and 605 Nm but less range, at 430 km. The shorter range is probably due to the testing method and may not happen in real life. STYLING The front of the car features two narrow glass strips, the top one with twin rectangular LED headlamps outside of orange turn indicators on either side and sensors and a camera in between. There’s a full-width string of LED daytime running lights beneath while at the bottom there is a pair of air flap that opens when needed to provide cooling to the various pieces of componentry above. On the side a diagonal crease runs from high in the front doors down to the base of the rear ones. The door handles sit flush against the doors and pop out when you unlock the car. INTERIOR Hyundai IONIQ 5 has a heated steering wheel,

Slim horizontal styling at the front looks great.

heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and an adjustable centre console. The front seats are 12-way power adjustable and come with a ‘Relaxion’ (zero gravity) mode. Which is good for lying back and having a rest on a long country trip. Especially if you’re driving at night and feel tired. The IONIQ 5 has the very good rear legroom the sort that you get in a luxury vehicle. All

seats are power adjustable with a memory function which can be set through the digital display screen. A vision glass roof with a powered sunshade is standard in both models. The charge point is at the right-rear of the car, with both AC and DC sockets. The cables are stored under the front bonnet and there’s a Vehicle to Load device which plugs into the car’s AC port at one end and a standard power plug at the other allowing for multiple uses including providing power to another electric vehicle. Full charge through a standard domestic power point is upward of 24 hours. A home / office charging wallbox will reduce charging time to around six hours. An ultra-fast charger can charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in about 18 minutes. It’s likely that in the not-too-distant future service stations will install these, and of course charge you to use them (excuse the joke). Thus, you can ‘refuel’ when you stop and have a light meal or simply walk around and stretch your legs. INFOTAINMENT The IONIQ 5 has two 12.3-inch screens embedded into a single panel. A digital instrument cluster in front of the driver and a Multimedia navigation unit in the centre. There are three USB ports at the front and two more at the rear with 12-volt sockets at the front and another in the boot. Wired-only Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility is standard as well as wireless smartphone charging. Sound is through a BOSE eight-speaker premium audio system. Satellite navigation includes details of the closest charging stations and a driving radius on how far the battery will allow the car to reach. SAFETY Standard safety features include seven airbags;

front and rear autonomous emergency braking; front and rear parking sensors; blind spot monitoring including camera coverage; lane departure warning; lane keep assist (which can be temporarily turned off; smart radar cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert; safe exit alert; rear seat occupant alert; driver inattention alert; and an interactive surround view monitor including a 360-degree overview; remote smart parking assist which allows the car to be moved remotely; and two IsoFix child seat mountings. DRIVING The driver’s seat is comfortable and supportive and the overall ambience of the interior sets the scene for an enjoyable travel experience. The driving position is fairly high. The chunky steering wheel feels great but does tend to obstruct the driver’s view of the instrument panel and the gear selector. We love driving electric vehicles at the best of times but the IONIQ 5 takes that enjoyment to an even higher level. It cruises effortlessly and with such a large amount of instant torque on offer it can accelerate sharply when needed. Smart regeneration braking to extend range can be adjusted through steering wheel paddles including an i-Pedal feature which allows one-pedal driving. SUMMARY No review of an EV can be complete without looking at the price / range equation. Electric vehicles are very expensive when compared to conventional vehicles, including hybrids. At $69,900 for the IONIQ 5 RWD and $77,500 for the AWD it sits at the higher end of the segment. Its range of up to 450 kilometres makes it more practical than many of its competitors. Standard warranty is five years with unlimited distance. There’s an eight-year, 160,000 km battery replacement warranty,

The 67th Inter-regional Country Championships were held in Yarrawonga on January 7 and 8. Barwon Region sent a team of 39 players from around the region with Tennis Geelong the largest contributor of players. The event consists of singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed across seven age brackets, as well as an Open draw. Big improvers Loddon Campaspe took out the title, with Barwon placing in third. Results across the board were good for Barwon, although they might consider themselves a little unlucky being on the wrong side of a super tie-break in six of their first round singles matches. Standouts were Hazel Kadera winning the trifecta in 14 and under, Tano-Li making the

final in all three of his 16 and under events and victorious in two, Nicole Mullen made her three finals winning one, while Tegan Marshall and Mikaela Mullen took out the 25 and under women’s doubles for the second year in a row. Division champions were Sam Carr and Hazel Kadera (14 and under mixed), Tano-Li Quach and Matilda Sutherland (16 and under mixed), Siena Clatworthy and Hazel Kadera (14 and under girls’ doubles), Tegan Marshall and Mikaela Mullen (25 and under women’s doubles), Hazel Kadera (14 and under girls’ singles), Jordyn Aitken (25 and under women’s singles) and Tano-Li Quach (boys’ 1 and under singles).

Battle for cricket honours to resume Geelong Cricket Association resumes on January 14 and Justin Flynn takes a look at what the rain-affected first half of the season brought and what the second half has in store. EAST BELMONT East Belmont has made the most runs of any side in the competition with Shane McNamara (424 runs at 106) responsible for more than one-third of them. Josh Lacey has chipped in with 217 of his own and there’s no doubt the Lions possess run-making ability. They probably need to take more wickets in the second half of the season, but to be fair, it’s been a batter-dominated season competition-wide so far. The Lions fixture shows a meeting with Grovedale straight after the break and then St Joseph’s and South Barwon before a mammoth clash against North Geelong. After that it’s Newtown & Chilwell and Lara before finishing off with a tough one against Grovedale. The Lions will make the four. It just depends on where they finish up. GROVEDALE Sitting nicely in second spot, the Tigers are poised to give the flag a shake. Michael McNeel (240 runs) and Jordan Moran (232) sit third and fourth respectively on the batting aggregate table while Devlin Foott and Jack Wrigglesworth are second and third respectively on the wickets table. A first-up meeting with East Belmont will go a long way to deciding whether the Tigers claim a top two spot and all eyes will be on the January 28 clash against North Geelong. A return clash against East Belmont in the final round looks like being the one that might decide the final ladder position. HIGHTON Highton is the only side not to win a game so far, but recent results suggest that the first win is not far away. The run home sees Highton face four games against teams inside the top four and four against sides outside the four. Highton is only two games outside the top four and if it can get on a run of wins, finals are not out of the question. James Gillard is the side’s leading run maker with 196, including a superb century in round nine. LARA With one win for the season, the Cats are still only a game outside the top four. Kaden Marum has 180 runs for the season while Robert Pehar and Mitchel Hayward have taken 15 wickets between them. Return matches against North Geelong make things tough for Lara to make the finals, but it’s possible. NEWTOWN & CHILWELL The Two Blues are inside the top four 34 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 13 January, 2023

by half a game. English import George Rhodes will be looking to finish off the season the way he started with two centuries and an 86 in the first three rounds. Rhodes and George Chisholm have 15 wickets between them. The Two Blues will probably start favourites in their next three games and will be pushing for a finals spot by the end of the season. NORTH GEELONG Undefeated and looking every bit the premiership favourites, the Magpies have taken 50 wickets so far this season, the most of any team in the comp. Former Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association batters Ned Cooper (230 runs) and Curtly Balshaw (200) have slotted into the team nicely. Another former BPCA star, Dale Kerr, has a half-century and eight wickets. Tom Mathieson is having some sort of season with 17 wickets at the insane average of 6.76. It’s hard to see the Magpies finishing any

Table tennis set to begin Ping pongers in Geelong are excited by the start of the new season later this month. Table Tennis Geelong owns arguably the best table tennis stadium in the Southern Hemisphere and that ping pong sound is set to be heard again. Geelong features many state and national players as well as a large contingent of local competition and social players. Table Tennis is a relatively inexpensive sport with great diversity – veterans, children, people with disabilities, males and females can all play together (or separately if they wish). “It will be a terrific opportunity for families in Geelong to come along for free and see champion table tennis players perform at their best,” Geelong Association secretary Phillip Carruthers said. Competition matches are played in teams of two or three players and typically take up to two hours to complete, starting at 7pm for adults and 6.30pm for junior pennants. Senior, Junior and Veterans Pennants commence in the week starting January 31, but there is a free grading/practice night for juniors at 7pm on Wednesday, January 18.

lower than second and from there the real stuff starts come finals time. SOUTH BARWON South Barwon has been the club most affected by the recent floods and have played one less game than all the other teams along with St Joseph’s. The Swans are capable of leaping up the ladder from their current sixth place, particularly if Pat Richards (177 runs) continues his good form. The Swans play Highton twice in the run home. ST JOSEPH’S Like South Barwon, Joeys have played one less game than six other teams and sit fifth on the ladder. Andrew Casey (200 runs at 66.67), Andrew Hodgson (191 at 63.67) and Luke Ibbs (181 at 54.25) have been good with the willow and Austin Humphrey is the leading wicket taker with eight. Joeys play Newtown & Chilwell twice from here on and have a favourable fixture to leap into the four.

Sharks dumped from top four By Justin Flynn Opener Shaun Fankhauser’s run scoring spree continued on Saturday, January 7 as Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association resumed after the Christmas and New Year break. Fankhauser made his second century of the season for Ocean Grove and has scores of 34, 5, 47, 30, 108, 57 and 106 not out this season for a total of 387 runs at an average of 64.50. Ocean Grove won the toss and batted against second placed Jan Juc with Fankhauser and captain Dan Roddis (33 off 36 balls) getting the side off to a great start with a 63-run opening stand. Nathan Taylor chipped in with 29 at No 3 and Fankhauser continued to bat through the innings to remain undefeated on 106 from 121 deliveries. The final score of 6-188 was impressive, but it would require a solid bowling effort against the Sharks’ batting Jan Juc’s innings never really gathered any momentum despite starts from Iva Priest (35) and Nick Hyden (33) as youngster Bailey Le Maistre took his best ever A Grade figures of 5-25. Le Maistre’s nagging little medium pacers were instrumental in dismissing the Sharks for 133, 58 runs short. The loss meant Jan Juc went from second to fifth on the ladder while the Grubbers are now inside the top four. St Leonards broke through for its first win of the season, upsetting giant killers Inverleigh. Inverleigh had claimed the scalps of Anglesea and Jan Juc before the break, but the Saints proved too good in a low-scoring game. Shanaka Kethbevilage was the difference between the two sides with 4-32 for St Leonards. Barrabool moved into second spot with an

impressive win against Queenscliff. Mitch Potter (46) and Lachie Kidd (44) got runs for Queenscliff in its innings of 8-161, but the Bulls chased down the target with seven wickets and almost five overs to spare. Aaron Pickering smacked 49 not out from just 29 deliveries and Jack Purcell batted through the innings for 48 from 83. Anglesea got back onto the winner’s list with a five-wicket win against Armstrong Creek. Paceman Darcy Elliott took 4-16 in dismissing the Titans for 96 while Brett Venables conceded only six runs from eight overs.

Gulls and Hawks the teams to beat Barwon Heads and Drysdale confirmed that they are the teams to beat in Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association A2 Grade. Resuming the season on January 7, the Hawks thrashed third placed Wallington. Wallington was all out for just 116 with Damien Biemans (38) and Damien Howsam (36) getting runs while a late-order cameo from Craig Hillgrove (32 off 17 deliveries) provided entertainment. Ben Spencer picked up three wickets for Drysdale while youngster Hayden Eddy grabbed two in a promising display. Drysdale got the required runs in the 26th over and lost just the wicket of Charlie Clode, but not before he made a sparkling 49 from

46 balls. Jason Malcolm played the anchor role with 20 not out from 69 balls while skipper Nick Hallam continued his bountiful season with 50 not out from 40. Dane Wise-Graham bowled well in his 200th game for the Wallabies, taking 1-19 from eight tidy overs. Barwon Heads brushed aside Portarlington in ruthless fashion to remain on top of the ladder. Jason Mallett got runs yet again with 55 from 76 deliveries and Charlie Hurst racked up another half-century with 62 from 72. New recruit and decorated Sub District cricketer Brent McMinn smacked 40 from 32

before being run out. Alex Mann grabbed two wickets for Port, but they needed 206 for victory and eventually fell 72 runs short. Brenton Toole made 38 and Cameron Gourley 26, but it was the slow bowling of veteran Matt High that did all the damage for the Heads. High took 5-16 from seven overs to lead the Seagulls to victory. Winchelsea defeated Newcomb with John Manbridge and Adam Korth both making half-centuries. Ashley Hubberd then grabbed 5-9 to help rout the Bulls for 68. Justin Flynn
