Women sail to the lead

An event celebrating and acknowledging sailing women has kicked off in Geelong this week, with more water fun expected for the weekend. Royal Geelong Yacht Club’s Laura Cora said the Geelong Women on Water Long Weekend event hosted by the club started on Wednesday, with the club’s regular sail and a celebration. “We had a twilight race which was part of our regular twilight series where we celebrated International Women’s Day,” she said. “This started a weekend of celebrations of woman in sport and woman in sailing.” Mrs Cora said the event was part of a training program that started last year and that this long weekend was a chance for the women involved to share what they had learnt. “This has been a pilot development programme that will culminate with a rally on Saturday, where they have to display the skills they have learned in these six months. The aim was to boost confidence, impart knowledge and ensure they can take up better roles and be confident taking up more roles in sailing.”

VCAT to hear unit dispute By Matt Hewson Compulsory mediations have broken down between property developers intending to construct a 17-unit complex spanning two lots at 57-59 The Parade, Ocean Grove, and concerned residents. As a result, the consortium of developers, represented by UXD Group, has signalled it will bypass Greater Geelong council and take the application directly to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) after council did not make a decision about the application in the required timeframe. City officers prepared a report for council

recommending the application be refused on multiple grounds concerning reasonable sharing of views to the coast, the scale of the building, standards of neighbourhood character and orderly planning. Council has not decided on the proposal yet, despite the city officers’ report being compiled by October 21, 2022, but will likely consider the matter at its March 28 meeting. UXD Group director Beau O’Brien said the residents’ issues were not with this proposal, but with the planning zone requirements. “We know there’s a heavy community view in this, but if you look at the concerns they refer to the planning scheme, not so much

the development,” Mr O’Brien. “We feel the underlying issues are with the residential growth zone and the community not wanting to see that level of development or change. “That’s probably beyond the developers; that’s probably about the city council and Victorian government approach to the zones of Ocean Grove.” Resident Peter Turner, who lives directly opposite the site of the proposed development, said it was completely inappropriate for the quiet street. “It’s just totally out of character with the area; it’s a monolithic concrete block,” Mr Turner said. “Seventeen units is just too many.

We accept that the City of Geelong wants to have a higher density in the area, that’s fine, but keep it appropriate.” Ocean Grove Community Association chairperson Andy McKoy said many residents feel the same as Mr Turner. “Given the fact that we don’t want the town boundary extended we have to accept that some parts of Ocean Grove have a high density requirement,” Mr McKoy said. “It’s a visual monstrosity. And it sets a precedent that in 10 years time the whole of that high density zone around the town centre could be three-storey townhouses.” VCAT will hear the matter in late April.

Geelong rainbow pride on show By Matt Hewson In a celebration of diversity, self-expression and fun times, the Geelong Rainbow Festival returns this March 24-26. The festival’s first event is the 18+ Pride Prom, held at Rydges Hotel on Friday, March 24, where guests are able to recreate their high school prom and express themselves as they would have liked. The annual Pride March will begin in Johnstone Park at 9.30am the following morning, with individuals and groups from the LGBTIQA+ community gathering alongside allies to walk to West Park in Geelong West to launch the festival proper.

Saturday, March 25 will also feature live performances from drag queens Goldie Cox and Amanduh and a DJ competition from 1pm. The crowd-favourite Pet Parade returns on Sunday, March 26 as part of the Festival’s Family Day celebration at West Park. Food, merchandise and community partners will be on hand at West Park throughout the weekend. Geelong Rainbow Inc. president Erika Kerley said the weekend was a chance to connect and celebrate the community. “Rainbow Festival is a great time for local LGBTIQA+ communities to connect during Pride season,” she said. “It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the strength, vibrancy and diversity

of our communities alongside family, friends and allies. From kids all the way up to seniors, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.” Ms Kerley said the Pride Prom, which will include a two-course meal, drinks, dancing and live entertainment, was a great way for people to experience that event the way they always wanted to. “Pride Prom recognises that many of us never got the prom or formal experience that we wanted,” she said. “It’s a chance for us to turn up as our true selves and dance the night away with the people we love.” Drag performer Goldie Cox said she felt proud to be a part of the festival for another year.

Frank Costa set to be immortalised The legendary Frank Costa will be recognised for his contributions towards sport, business and the community with a permanent bronze statue in central Geelong. The City of Greater Geelong partnered with Mr Costa’s family and the Geelong Football Club to remember the businessman with a 220-centimetre-tall statue. Mr Costa’s family said they were honoured by Geelong Authority member Rory Costell and his idea to memorialise Mr Costa as a ‘paper boy’, a nod to his time selling papers as a child. “We were humbled by Rory’s suggestion to capture the moment when a young Frank, full of enthusiasm, started his love of Geelong and the opportunities he found within it,” the family said. “We’ve been delighted to support this testimonial to Frank, depicting where his story began. “We believe it would mean a lot to him, it certainly does to us and hopefully to many others who got swept up in his endless world of possibilities.” Australian artist and sculptor Louis Laumen said he was glad to build a statue that strayed away from the “businessman” norm and showed the life of Mr Costa. “I’ve incorporated a lot of things into the sculpture that can talk about various aspects of his life,” he said. “There’s his beginnings as a businessman, but obviously his love for this town, football, and even talking about what he eventually became. “His training at school, as a schoolboy selling newspapers was, I think, a way of really opening up the idea that I sort of it fertilised in my imagination.” Geelong Football Club former player and captain Joel Selwood said he remembered Mr Costa as a man who “loved everyone” and was loved by everyone. “When I think of Frank Costa, I not only

reflect on all that he achieved as our president and as a humble custodian of the Geelong Football Club, but all that he achieved beyond the stadium walls,” he said. “He was a remarkable person and will always hold a special place in my heart, as he would by everybody he came into contact with.” Mayor Trent Sullivan said Frank Costa held a special place in the hearts of the Geelong Football Club and all sections of the community.

“Frank was a larger-than-life figure with a generosity of spirit, who lived his life in service and cared greatly about the welfare of Greater Geelong residents,” he said. The statue will be installed on the northeast corner of Ryrie and Moorabool streets, in front of the T&G building, and is expected to be unveiled in mid-2023, soon after the second anniversary of Mr Costa’s death.

“I have had the privilege of performing at every Geelong Rainbow Festival since 2018,” she said. “The Geelong region has an amazing community of LGBTIQA+ people and the annual Rainbow Festival is a celebration and a way for members of the community to be proudly who they are. “We create awareness so that younger generations and people who are unsure of themselves see they are not alone, that there are people just like them and that there is nothing wrong with who they are. “We want everyone to feel safe and proud to bring their whole self to everything they do in life, and the Rainbow Festival is a fabulous way to do that.”

Police to probe fraud at genU A Geelong-based disability service provider has notified the police after the organisation raised suspicions of possible financial fraud. genU notified police of the suspected fraud offence targeting the profit-for-purpose organisation’s finances this week. genU chief executive Clare Amies said the organisation had referred the matter to police following an initial internal investigation triggered by suspicious activity. “I want to assure our many clients, their families and carers that this activity does not in any way involve or compromise our services or service delivery, NDIS payments, or personal information,” she said. Ms Amies said the discovery and any subsequent police investigation would not restrict genU’s services. “We remain as committed to our clients, staff and partners as we have ever been, and this will not in any way impact our ongoing day-to-day service delivery or disadvantage clients,” she said. Ms Amies said she felt terrible that the situation had occurred and that police would work to determine the time frame of the alleged offence. “genU stands ready to assist police in whatever capacity we can to aid their inquiries, “ she said. “While no organisation likes dealing with such scenarios, it gives me heart that genU does so knowing we have at our core great people who turn up every single day for the sole purpose of making the lives of our clients better.”

Land in Leopold will have new zoning titles after the City of Greater Geelong Council chose to move along with a proposed amendment. During its March meeting, the council decided to rezone 672 to 690 and 692 to 700 Portarlington Road to change the area’s titles from farming zone to residential zone schedule – 1. Mayor Trent Sullivan said the new zoning would help create more urban growth in Leopold. “Rezoning the land to general residential zone – schedule 1 will support the final stages of residential development in the north-western part of Leopold within the settlement boundary,” he said. “The proposal is supported by the state and local planning policy framework and will

BARBER SHOP OR WELLNESS SPA? Mr Francis Jones commenced as a barber in Geelong in 1854. Seven years later, he bought an empty shop in Ryrie Street, three doors down from his barber’s shop. His renovation of the vacant shop caught the eye of the Geelong Chronicle’s reporter: “The old store has been metamorphosed under the wand of a young magician into something approaching an oriental palace of luxury. Mr Jones, the barber, for it is no use calling a decent and industrious tradesman out of his proper name, has shaved and cropped the public so closely that he has made as much money out of his suds and hair sweepings as had enabled him to purchase and renovate Mr Finch’s old South Sea Oil Company’s store.” “Where there was whale oil, there is now sweet-scented pomatum and otto of roses; clear water has displaced the fish fat; and a rather eccentric building, in which the public may enjoy the luxuries of a bath, a sharp razor, a steady hand and a clean towel has replaced the old oil depot.” “The interior has been completely restored

and decorated in a manner that reflects as much credit on the spirited barber as it does on the good taste of the designers. The bathing department is a suite of neat and commodious rooms in which the public can enjoy the luxury of hot, cold, plunge and shower baths. Every convenience has

been provided for the comfort and privacy of the bathers. The design of both the interior and exterior arrangements is very good and reflects great credit to the architects, Messrs Young and Honey.” Jones, advertising his removal to the renovated premises in June 1861, styled himself – hairdresser and perfumer. He advertised a range of perfumery, brushes and combs for sale. He also highlighted that his establishment had private sitting rooms set apart for ladies. By September 1862, Jones had added medicinal baths to his premises. These sulphurous-vapor baths were at one time ‘frequently prescribed in England to treat rheumatic complaints’. In May 1863, he advertised steam baths, shampooing baths, Turkish and Russian baths, in addition to his usual suite of offerings. Perhaps the wellness spa is not such a new concept after all! Jones continued in his trade in Geelong for many years. Twice married, he died at his residence in Ryrie Street, in June 1907, aged 84 years. He was buried at the Eastern Cemetery.

College captains ready to lead By Matt Hewson Northern Bay College’s four new captains are ready to do their part to lead the school into a new era. School captains Jevic Mwanza and Fiona Williamson and vice-captains Ali Sina Walizada and Indyanna (Indy) Mayo come from a diverse range of backgrounds and have a broad range of aspirations. Jevic, whose family fled the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo to come to Australia, said they were united by their desire to act as role models and their determination

to succeed. “Probably one of the biggest connections we have as the four captains is that we don’t come from wealthy families,” Jevic said. “That’s one of our motivations, that’s what keeps us disciplined to do the right things when no ones looking, to be kind and show the younger grades how to be nice and respectful. It’s very important.” Fiona, who aspires to become an actor and has had roles as an extra in Stan and Netflix productions, agrees. “I think that because of the lack of wealth, we really want to prove to our parents that we

can do amazing things and they can be proud of us for what we do,” Fiona said. “Being a captain and a role model to junior students means so much to me. We moved around a lot before I came to Northern Bay, and that knocked down my self-esteem and ability to communicate with others.” Ali, whose family immigrated to Australia from Afghanistan, said supporting those in need was important to him as well. “My dad came here by boat in 2009, I think, and then we came in 2016 by visa,” he said. “When I came here I didn’t know any English, and it was really hard to communicate

and I needed someone who could help me during that time. That’s what drove me to become a leader.” Ali said his father was a big inspiration to him. Indy, who is undergoing her carpentry apprenticeship while studying year 12, said her family was thrilled. “It’s a big accomplishment for me, and my family loves that I’m a school captain,” she said. “I want to own a business with my twin brother – he’s a roof plumber – and have all the trades in one. Carpentry is in our family.”

Event organiser Daniel Driscoll said he created the event to honour his friend Ryan , a Drysdale man who lost his battle with mental health in 2019. Daniel said he remembered Ryan as a “funny guy” who contributed a lot to the community and coached the local junior football team. Daneil said there were two parts to the day’s events, including a golf section open to everyone who wished to participate, and activities catered towards families. The family side of the event would include a twilight market, fireworks, a petting zoo, live music, food trucks and many more activities for people to get involved. “There’s three different times to tee off. There’s 7.30am, 10.30am and 1.30pm,” he said.

“All abilities are welcome. Anyone can enter in the golf part and then everyone can come down for the family side of things. “The raffle is also a massive part of the day, and then we have lots of live auctions and silent auctions with sports memorabilia and things that have been donated.” Daniel said his favourite part about the event was getting to see everyone, which included past players of Ryan’s football club and premiership teammates of his.

FRIDAY FEATURE GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

Aboriginal artist embraces equity Indigenous artist Jenna Oldaker’s latest artwork is a celebration of inspirational women and focuses on the theme of equity. She chats with Jena Carr about the piece which was unveiled on International Women’s Day.

adawurrung Traditional Owner and contemporary indigenous artist Jenna Oldaker released a new artwork in honour of International Women’s Day. Oldaker’s piece, named Wunggurrwil Ba-gurrk Murrup, or Strong Woman Spirit, was unveiled as a mural to the public on Wednesday at the Wurdi Baierr Stadium in Torquay. Oldaker said she mainly worked with acrylic paints on a canvas and that the artwork was a “contemporary take on Aboriginal art”. “This artwork is a celebration of all the strong women that have travelled this beautiful land that we are lucky enough to call home,” she said. “It’s very colourful, vibrant, bright colours and is a little bit different from the traditional artwork you may see. “It’s accessible to everyone, and people can interpret and enjoy it differently. “Hopefully people can take something away from it, have their own interpretation, and learn a little bit as well.” Oldaker said there was a big focus on equity rather than equality for the artwork, which keeps with this year’s International Women’s Day theme of embracing equity. “That was a really big part of it for us and really embracing the women of my own culture and my own family, the women that inspire me every day,” she said. “Then also all the women in the community, so it was really important to have that focus on family, community and with inspirational women being the focal point. “The centre point is the symbol for woman, and another part of the artwork is the symbol for the star, which symbolises our elders looking down at us, providing us with their wisdom, knowledge and guidance. “It’s got the journey line connecting all of these elements together to show the continuity between us all so that we give back to one another, our culture, our land and the community that we’re in.” Oldaker said her favourite part about the mural, commissioned by Surf Coast council, was the ability to fully run with the Women’s Day theme without any restrictions. “To be able to interpret it in my own way using my own culture, history and stories was so much fun,” she said. “It was really significant to be able to do that as a female artist myself and not be held back by anything and just to be able to fully express myself was really great.” Oldaker said most of the inspiration behind her artworks came from her elders, culture and family. “My biggest influence is my grandmother Aunty Violet McPherson. We spent a lot of time together doing art and crafts, and she taught me a lot of what I know,” she said.

“She was a really big inspiration for me. We would always spend a lot of time creating together, and she was always teaching me new things and sharing her history and culture with me. “Her stories, and many dream time stories, are a big part of my inspiration on why I do what I do. “A big part of why I create art based around my own culture is for education as well. I do a lot of work with schools and volunteer work. “I think it’s our responsibility as the next generation to ensure that these things carry on like our culture and history. “A great way of being able to share that with people and to communicate and educate is through art I feel.” Oldaker said all her artworks were named in the traditional Wadawurrung language, which included her latest piece that had been turned into a mural by the council. “I feel that’s a really great way to educate, and people can pick up on new words and learn new things in a fun and new way, especially for children,” she said. “You can see the real difference between generations. Children know what country they’re on now, and have a greater understanding of Aboriginal history and culture.

“Our ancestors and elders travelled these same lands sharing their culture, sharing their stories and ideas, and it is now our responsibility to take care of and nurture our Wadawurrung Country home. “It’s important that we carry on all the work that they’ve (the elders) done previously because they’ve done a lot of the hard work, or all the hard work, and that’s why it’s our responsibility to ensure that our culture, history, and language in particular survive.” Oldaker said she learnt she was Aboriginal from a young age and felt “lucky to be surrounded by so many wonderful people”, like her mum Aunty Joy Oldaker who performed the Welcome to Country during Wednesday’s unveiling.

“I think it’s really exciting and I think it really plays on that point of International Women’s Day as the Wurdi Baierr Stadium is somewhat seen as a very male dominated space,” she said. “They’ve (council) chosen the right spot for it, and I think it’ll really start those conversations. “I’m thankful for the opportunity from the shire and the support and want to acknowledge the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners. “It’s really, really important for them and we appreciate it.” Mayor Liz Pattison said the unveiling event on Wednesday was part of a special celebratory day close to councillors’ hearts. “Council’s annual International Women’s Day celebration is a highlight on our calendar as we raise awareness about how important it is to keep striving towards gender equality in our community. “I’m delighted that this year’s event also supports council’s commitment to reconciliation and the need to grow our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.” Oldaker is a visual artist who works under Murrup Art (Murrup is the Wadawurrung word for spirit).

See great music for ‘80s prices By Matt Hewson The Aireys Inlet Music Festival returns for its 2023 edition this March 17-19, featuring a bevy of local talent headlined by Ella Hooper (Killing Heidi) and Andy Golledge. Now in its 17th year, the Aireys Inlet Music Festival offers a weekend of live music for $60, which artistic director Patrick Donovan said was “a 1980s ticket price”. “It’s a very, very good time to be a music fan, there’s so much on, so we’ve very much factored that in with keeping ticket prices at $60 for the

whole weekend,” Mr Donovan said. Returning last year after a hiatus prompted by COVID-19, the festival has continued to follow the change of direction inspired by the break. In the past the festival featured many unpaid busker acts with a few big (and well-paid) headline acts. Mr Donovan, in his first year as artistic director, said the committee had decided to reinforce the changes seen in last year’s event, which focused more on local talent and younger acts.

“Last year happened at short notice, and the festival booked Josh Teskey and Checkerboard Lounge along with a bunch of local acts, and everyone came out in spades,” he said. “So we’ve booked quite a young line-up, particularly for Saturday, and with the exception of a couple of headliners, most of the bands are from the area or came from the area originally.” Among the talent with regional connections are Bones and Jones, Foggy Notion, Immy Owusu, Forever Son, the Beachniks, Dear Buffalo, Depp Porsal, and Matt Bourke and the

Delusional Drunks. “I haven’t seen too many festivals that really focus on the pride of the area and essentially say, hey, we’ve got enough amazing talent down here, we don’t need to look elsewhere,” Mr Donovan said. “It’s a really strong community and that’s why we’re celebrating that. “And I think people are noticing that we’re positioning it for a bit of a younger audience. So the young kids will be able to enjoy a certain band, but my 80-year-old dad will be there enjoying it as well.”

Dive into a pond tour A Leopold water feature full of turtles and fish will be open to the public this weekend as part of a national pond tour. Barwon Landscapes and Waterscapes’ Adam O’Keefe designed and built the water feature on his Leopold property. Mr O’Keefe said his pond was a “bit of a refuge for turtles” and that he currently had 11 turtles living on his property that occasionally like to wander into his house. “This is my own personal place, so what happened is, my son had a turtle when he was five years old, and I just didn’t believe in turtles being in cages,” he said. “So as soon as we came here, I built this pond, and then from there, it just exploded. “We just got a new one (turtle) the other week. The poor thing was in a kid’s playroom, and the tank was full of toys.“ Mr O’Keefe said it took close to two weeks to build the pond in his backyard and that everyone flocked to his property for a

wood-oven pizza around Christmas. “We wanted to create or own kind off oasis, so you wouldn’t know you’re in suburbia as much,” he said. “We didn’t want any grass in the backyard, just the perfect thing for a pond. But the big thing was, we entertain a lot outside, so we wanted a place where we could have it be engaging. “The sound of the waterfall too. If we turn it off for any reason, or the power goes off, so there’s a bit of silence that we don’t like.” Mr O’Keefe said his water feature was part of a national tour organised by Aquascape Supplies Australia. He will showcase his pond on Saturday, March 11 and Sunday, March 19, from 10am to 3pm, and people must register at https:// aquascapesupplies.com.au/events-2023/ to attend the event. Jena Carr

Meet those shaping Geelong Last month the City of Greater Geelong introduced the new members of three if its key advisory committees. Two of those newly-inducted committee members spoke to the Independent about why they applied to join, what they hope to achieve and what they bring to the table.

LGBTQIA+ Advisory Committee

Access and Inclusion Advisory Committee

Did you grow up in Geelong? I grew up living in the Golden Plains Shire, attended high school in Geelong, have been working in Geelong for over eight years and living in Geelong for over three years. What inspired you to apply for the advisory committee? I’m very passionate about creating safe spaces for the LGBTQIA+ community in regional and rural areas and the advisory committee sounded like a great way to continue working on that goal. Hopefully, by sharing my lived experience with the council, they will be able to make informed decisions to greatly benefit the LGBTQIA+ community in the City of Greater Geelong. What was your reaction to finding out you would become a member of the committee? I was really excited to be accepted as a committee member and I think the pride will kick in once we’ve had a few meetings with the councillors and see what work is lined up for us over the next two years. What do your lived experiences allow you to bring to the table? I am a non-binary, queer person who has been out and proud in the community for almost 15 years. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a lot of incredible LGBTQIA+ icons throughout my career in events and their stories have continued to educate and inspire me to fight for change.

What do you hope to achieve as a committee member? I hope to see some tangible changes in Geelong through the actions of the LGBTQIA+ Advisory Committee by the end of our two-year term. I hope to provide the COGG council with a clearer idea of what the LGBTQIA+ Community of Geelong wants and needs and to offer greater education for the council on LGBTQIA+ issues. Why do you think the advisory committees are important? There is such a great range of diverse people throughout the City of Greater Geelong and it’s important that the council’s decisions are informed about the needs of the entire community, not just those in the room making those decisions. By having advisory committees, we’re able to offer the council real insight into the wants, needs and concerns of groups that may not be otherwise represented.

Did you grow up in Geelong? If not, when did you move here? My first few years were spent in Gippsland, before moving to Geelong in around 1986. What inspired you to apply for the advisory committee? I was inspired to apply for the committee as I believe my lived experience as a person with a disability in and around the Geelong region can bring valuable knowledge and insight to the table. As a person with a disability, I have found some aspects in community life a challenge and would love to be a driving force in bringing about change for the benefit of all people in the Geelong area, not just those with a disability. What was your reaction to finding out you would become a member of the committee? My reaction to finding out that I was asked to become a member of the committee was honestly surprised, and very proud of my achievement! It is a bit daunting, but I’m excited for the opportunity to help bring about change in the community. What do your lived experiences allow you to bring to the table? I have been legally blind since birth and have found that navigating community life can be quite challenging at times due to a gap in knowledge and understanding around things like public access (uneven public surfaces, dim lighting, lack of contrast and so on). I am also studying community services at the Gordon currently and feel that my new knowledge of the community services sector is giving me a different perspective as to how council can become more inclusive in the community. What do you hope to achieve as a committee member? I hope to achieve a greater understanding of inclusivity in the community for myself, but also hope to assist with advocating for those with a disability and their support networks while encouraging knowledge and understanding for the community as a whole.

Why do you think the advisory committees are important? I believe that advisory committees are a vital part of the city of Greater Geelong council, and the community in general because it helps the council hear what the constituents’ needs and wants in a safe and supportive way, directly from members of the community, and are able to action changes and make a real difference for the benefit of the community as a whole.

MY GEELONG Renee Howell is an Aboriginal health liaison officer and musician living in Ocean Grove and working around Geelong. She talks with Jena Carr about what makes the area a wonderful place to live and grow. When I am not working and running around for kid’s sports, I love being creative with resin art and wood burning. I started “Resinating Burns” during lockdown a few years ago and have created and sold a number of art pieces. My inspirations come from landscapes and the colours they thrive with, Aboriginal symbols and images telling a story. I have recently started doing texture art as well. I love to sing. I have sung since I was about 12 years old, taking lessons and gaining confidence to eventually sing at functions such as weddings and bars, not to mention the odd Karaoke bar. I also perform in an amazing band called the Loud N Deadly. We are an acoustic and full band group with some local first nation musicians playing a variety of original songs and covers and have performed at events such as White Night Geelong, half-time entertainment for Geelong Indigenous round at Kardinia Park, Surround Sounds and 2 Worlds Music Festival.

What is your connection to Geelong? I was born and raised here in Wadawurrung Country. I grew up in Anglesea, Torquay then Grovedale with my amazing family. I am very much connected to my mother’s traditional homeland of Arrernte country in Alice Springs, but Geelong has always been home. I am a community member at Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative and have had the honour of working in community support roles over the years, supporting families and children. In my current role as Aboriginal health liaison officer at a local hospital, I have the pleasure of connecting with mobs from all over daily. What do you like about where you live? I have lived in Ocean Grove for four years with my wonderful partner Cam and three amazing kids, Zac, Connor and Madi. We love being close to the water. We are lucky to have the beach just down the road and the river, where we often go with the extended family. The community in Oakdene estate where we live always looks out for one another, and all our lovely neighbours are always happy to lend a helping hand where needed. What, if anything, would you change about where you live? I love our seaside town and natural environments and hope that further developments ease. Ocean Grove is growing dramatically, and would hope to keep its small country beach town feel. Where is your favourite place to spend time? My favourite place to spend time is on our boat fishing. We often go out from Clifton

Springs and let the kids jump off the boat in the shallows and go snorkelling. The other place I love to be is out bush camping with our biggest mob of a family (17 grandchildren

for mum and dad). What is something people may not know about you?

What do you like about your work? I have been in my Aboriginal health liaison officer role for seven years now and love it. I connect with the community from near and far and support them through their healthcare journey as an inpatient and outpatient. It can be tough when supporting the community you consider family through their terrible health challenges and supporting families with grief and loss. I have also been lucky to witness so many beautiful community babies coming into this world, which is a true blessing in my job. My job is very rewarding, to say the least.

Hassall bowls up a new single By Matt Hewson

Hassall will launch their new single at Oz Tenpin Geelong Saturday, March 18. (Supplied)

Live music fans who also enjoy a casual game of tenpin bowling or throwing some gold coins in the pinnies are in for a treat when Geelong band Hassall launches their new single at Oz Tenpin Geelong. Hassall, a self-described “Aussie sharehouse pop” band, will launch their new single Out of Date at the iconic Geelong bowling alley on Saturday, March 18. The band will perform their set in the middle four lanes of the venue while punters send their balls down at the pins on either side. Hassall frontwoman and lead guitarist Matilda Hassall said she had the idea to perform

at Oz Tenpin Geelong some time ago, but never expected the bowling alley to go for it. “Every time over the past few years that I’ve gone to the bowling alley I’ve said, this would be the coolest place to do a gig,” she said. “So I just called up and said, is there any chance you’d be interested in a night of live music? And the centre manager, Michael’s his name, was like, yeah, sure! “I was shocked, shocked. I hadn’t even planned anything to say beyond that, I did not think I’d get that far. “It’s just a really cool place that everyone in Geelong knows. It has everything; a bar, the arcade and it’s all ages, which made it really good for us as well.”

After a year or more of performing solo under her last name Hassall brought in Geelong musos drummer Will Conway, bassist Liam Brennan and guitarist Cameron Jerabek in the midst of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. “We started rehearsing to record our first EP, and that was back at the time when you could only have one person at your house,” she said. “So I had to rehearse with them all individually, and when COVID finally lifted we got together and actually did a rehearsal for the recording. “I do most of the writing, but they all add their own kind of flair. I love them all as players.” For details visit: trybooking.com/events/ landing/1023161

Grigoryan Brothers sail into the Palais Geelong For Leonard Grigoryan, one of Australia’s most accomplished classical guitarists, there are few occasions where a performance causes him any anxiety. But performing a soundtrack live alongside his brother, Slava, accompanying the movie A Boy Called Sailboat was, at least initially, one of those occasions. “We were very nervous at the beginning for many reasons,” Leonard said. “There’s not much freedom in a show like this, it just keeps moving. It was nerve-wracking because there was a lot of information on our screens, we had a click track, all these sorts of things. “And in the beginning we were exhausted after these gigs. The focus … you couldn’t relax for a second, otherwise you’d be missing cues, things like that. But we’re used to it now, we’ve

done this gig probably 40 or 50 times. And we thought we’d get really sick of it, but we just love the movie so much and we’re always finding new things in it.” A Boy Called Sailboat, written and directed by Cameron Nugent and starring JK Simmons, is a whimsical and heart-warming tale that has been described by critics as an “adorable, nearly-perfect modern folktale” and “surely the most impressive calling-card film in recent memory”. Set in the drought-ridden Deep South of America, it follows the story of a small Mexican boy who one day brings home a “little guitar” he has found and shortly after sets out to create the greatest song ever written. The Grigoryan brothers were approached by Nugent and producer Andrew Curry a decade

ago to write the soundtrack for the film. “The spiel was,” recalled Leonard, “they wanted to take one-hit wonders and give them a thorough Latin treatment; sort of a Gypsy Kings type thing. But over time, the direction of the music changed. Instead of one-hit wonders they decided to go with folk songs and nursery rhymes, things like that. “I think it was because they realised using five seconds of an Aerosmith song would have cost a few hundred thousand dollars. “But in the end, taking these really well-known tunes like Row Your Boat and things like that worked much, much better for the movie.” The Grigoryan Brothers will perform the soundtrack to A Boy Called Sailboat at the Palais Geelong on Sunday, March 26.

The Guide BETTANY HUGHES: TREASURES OF ALBANIA SBS, Sunday, 7.30pm

PICK OF THE WEEK THE LARKINS ABC TV, Saturday, 7.30pm

Always curious and imminently knowledgeable, award-winning British historian and author Bettany Hughes (pictured) exudes a passion that still shines bright, even after decades of intrepid exploration. In this new two-part special, the diverse culture of the under-the-radar Adriatic country Albania is laid bare. Featuring fortress towns and breathtaking sea views, Hughes begins exploring the Albanian Riviera and the country’s first World Heritage site, the ancient city of Butrint; before venturing to the remote communities in the Albanian Alps.

Based on H.E. Bates’s 1958 novel The Darling Buds of May, this cosy series set in a quaint Kent village is the perfect way to ease into a relaxing Saturday evening. Season two sees much-loved Ma and Pop Larkin (Joanna Scanlan and Bradley Walsh) at war with their posh new neighbours Pinkie and Cuthbert Jerebohm (Morgana Robinson and Julian Rhind Tutt, both pictured). Meanwhile, there’s a new romance on the horizon for Primrose (Lydia Page). Fans of the show will notice the Larkins’ eldest daughter Mariette looks very different this season – newcomer Joelle Rae has replaced Sabrina Bartlett in the role after the Bridgerton star abruptly left the series.

THE 95TH ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS Seven, Monday, 11am (encore, 8.45pm)

After last year’s infamous face-slap incident, what will this year’s ceremony serve up for viewers’ entertainment? Unsurprisingly, Chris Rock isn’t hosting – and Will Smith will be absent, thanks to his 10-year ban. Comedian Jimmy Kimmel (pictured) is taking the stage of LA’s Dolby Theatre to emcee the extravaganza. All eyes will of course be on the actors’ lavish outfits, while Everything Everywhere All at Once is set to be the film on everyone’s lips, with 11 nominations. AM I BEING UNREASONABLE? SBS Viceland, Monday, 10.20pm

British comedian Daisy May Cooper follows up her acclaimed debut, This Country, with this genre-defying comedy thriller. Written with her best friend Selin Hizli, who also co-stars, the story follows lonely and “weird” mother-of-one Nic (Cooper), whose depressing existence is jump-started by the arrival of a gin-toting new school mum. In tonight’s premiere double episode, there’s a double shot of booze and questionable behaviour. Young actor Lenny Rush is a comedic standout as Nic’s son Ollie, who is the wise voice of reason in their loving yet quirky relationship.

MOTOR

Forester follows well worn trail By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring

Interior The Forester is a spacious five-seater with the 2.5i-S perches clad in quality leather upholstery. Seating height and a good expanse of glass all round make for good visibility. Twin cup holders are centred between driver and front seat passenger. A large comfortable armrest is home to a storage area with USB ports. Door pockets are generous.

Infotainment The MY23 model has maintained a full house of information displaying fixtures and fittings of former Foresters. With three sets of screens, it does veer on the side of overcapitalisation. Main centre of infotainment focuses on a centre-dash mounted 8-inch screen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, integrated satellite navigation, and AM / FM / DAB+ radio, the last from an eight-speaker harman / kardon sound system.

list of standard safety equipment on all models including autonomous emergency braking and steering, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, lane centring and adaptive cruise control. As mentioned above, all but the base 2.5i come standard with a facial recognition camera to detect driver drowsiness or distraction, as well as rear autonomous emergency braking.

Driving Fire up the engine and the cabin is filled with the signature sound of the 2.5 Subaru horizontally opposed unit – some might find it intrusive – Boxer fans not so. There’s no mistaking the note through the whole rev range, with responsive action to the accelerator pedal. All Foresters run on 91RON regular unleaded fuel, with non-hybrid combined consumption of 7.4 litres per 100 kilometres. The test car recorded 11.9 litres per 100 kilometres in the daily city commute and 6.1 litres per 100 kilometres when cut free on the open road. All-wheel drive has the Forester steady and reliable on bitumen business, while ventilated discs all round maintain a high level of efficiency when called on in spirited driving. Off road going can be tamed by X-Mode, a system that has two modes – Snow / Dirt and Deep Snow / Mud – each yielding improved grip and traction in low-speed and slippery conditions, and gear selection to suit the terrain. The 220 mm of ground clearance puts the Forester up with more hardened 4x4s, tackling

low-range off-roading without worries for driver or passengers. Braked towing is rated at 1800 kg.

Summary Subaru Australia claims 97 per cent of Foresters

sold in the past 10 years are still on the road today, so that says a lot about the pedigree of the vehicle. The addition of hybrid technology, plus the promise of turbo power, are bound to keep Forester to the forefront of responsible driving.

The Subaru Forester came to life in1997 as a bare-bones, no-nonsense cross-over vehicle ready to take on the likes of the Toyota RAV4 and Suzuki Grand Vitara. Using the Impreza platform, but built in the style of a station wagon, with a taller stance, higher hip-point seating and all-wheel drive, over the years it has gained in size, sophistication and popularity, becoming a top seller. Indeed, Subaru recently celebrated 300,000 Forester sales in Australia. A late addition to the small SUV segment a quarter of a century ago, the Forester, along the way, has boasted some of the Japanese automobile manufacturer’s most advanced driving aids and safety systems. It still does. The subject of some minor design upgrades in 2022, the MY23 range opens at $37,890, plus on-road costs for the 2.5i petrol and peaks with the Hybrid S at $49,340. Price increases range from $1900 to $2150, which Subaru Australia claims are due to production and logistic costs. The MY23 model stays much the same except for minor specification changes, with the high-spec Forester 2.5i Sport, 2.5i-S (the test vehicle) and Hybrid S all getting an auto-dimming rear-view mirror as standard. The outgoing Dark Blue Pearl exterior paint option has been replaced by Sapphire Blue Pearl. All Forester variants now include Lane Centring Function, Lane Departure Prevention and Autonomous Emergency Steering, designed to avoid frontal collisions, lane drifting and low speed impacts. It can ‘lock on’ to vehicles directly in front and, when used together with Adaptive Cruise Control, can slow, stop and accelerate to maintain a safe driving distance. It also recognises pedestrians, motorcycles and cyclists within its field of vision. Depending on conditions, the Pre-Collision Braking System can help to minimise impact and damage. If the speed is less than 30 km/h, the car can be brought to a complete stop before impact. Then there’s the Driver Monitoring System that uses a camera to monitor the driver for signs of fatigue or distraction and warns them if it detects that the driver is not focused or keeping eyes on the road ahead. It also features advanced temperature adjustment, allowing the driver to have complete control of the temperature through simple hand gestures.

Forester 2.5i Premium: $43,090

Engines / transmissions The MY23 non-hybrid models are powered by the same naturally aspirated 2.5-litre horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine putting out 136 kW peak power and 239 Nm of torque. Mated with a continuously variable automatic transmission, power is distributed permanently through all four wheels.

Safety ANCAP awarded the Subaru Forester a five-star safety score in 2019, with the latest

Johnson bolsters United’s ranks By Tara Murray When Kahli Johnson decided to join Western United, it wasn’t just about getting more game time in the A-League Women’s competition. Having made three A-League appearances last season for Sydney FC, Johnson decided to make the move down to Melbourne and United. “I really enjoyed the opportunity to move to a different city,” she said. “To move away from home for the first time was exciting. “The club has been really welcoming and family orientated. It was about the opportunity to come to a club that has such strong values. “You want to get game time wherever you are, but nothing was promised and I had to work hard for my spot. “It has really paid off.” Johnson has played in 13 games for United this season, starting in seven of them. In the most recent game against the Newcastle Jets, she scored not only her first goal, but her second for United. Johnson said she had been really happy with her season. “I’m someone who is really focused on improving myself and the team,” she said. “I want to keep improving on things and work really hard in developing certain areas of my game. “The first goal has been a while coming, it was really good for myself. To get a second one was good, hopefully it’ll kick start a few more.” It’ll be a couple of weeks between games for

Johnson as she heads to the Kyrgyz Republic with the Young Matildas for the first round of qualification for the 2024 AFC under-20 Asian Cup. Johnson has been part of the Young Matildas side for a couple of years and she’s excited to get another opportunity. “I’m really happy to get the call up,” she said. “It’s a new group of girls that have not played many games together. “It will be a great experience to go overseas with the girls.” The Young Matildas have just come off a training camp, held in Western United’s backyard in Wyndham. Johnson said it was good to see local soccer fans, many who are Western United fans, come out and interact with the side. The camp also included a match against Western United. “I enjoyed that,” Johnson said. “It was pretty cool to play against my friends. “You’re a bit more competitive on the field. I really enjoyed it.” While Johnson is focused on her Australian commitments, she’s also focused on helping United concert their strong form into something else. United in their first season sit atop the table. Johnson, like many of her other teammates, wanted to make a point that they weren’t just making up the numbers this season. “We want to win,” she said. “We’ll do everything we can to make that happen. It’s exciting for the rest of the season.”

Pennant finals kick off as teams fight to survive LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers It was the first week of finals for all eight team sections in Tennis Geelong’s junior and senior pennants, with ideal conditions for both competitions. The afternoon’s play produced a variety of results, but good tennis across all sections. In the men’s grades section 1 saw Grovedale Black and Clifton Springs winning their first four sets in their finals to earn the week off and a match up with Grovedale Yellow in the prelim final. Section 2 men produced a similar result with Waurn Ponds winning through to the grand final with a 6-0 win over Geelong Lawn, who will face Moolap Yellow in the prelim, after their 5-1 win over a depleted Moolap Black. Minor premiers Bannockburn won the first semi-final in section 3 men 4-2 over neighbours Inverleigh, who will now face Moolap in their prelim final. Ocean Grove weren’t helped by an injury sustained in the match warm up, but with five players available they were able to regroup, but couldn’t match Moolap going down 6-0. The mixed sections were a little more varied with section 2 having two upsets with Moriac

S3X Anglesea and St Marys: Tom Crosbie (SM), Janelle Grass (SM), Bob Keating (SM), Georgia Cowdrey (SM), James Hardman (A), Kathy Hose (A), Phil Ashworth (A), Kathryn Anderson (A), Tony Whelan (A). (Supplied)

getting up 5-1 over minor premiers Clifton Springs and Highton reversing their fortunes against third placed Grovedale to keep their finals hopes alive. Section 5 also saw the home teams on the wrong side of the score line when Lara toppled Newcomb 4-2 and Drysdale put themselves into the preliminary final with their 4-2 win over Clifton Springs. Section 3 minor premiers Anglesea fought hard against St Mary’s, with four of the sets going to seven, so while St Mary’s took the win five sets to one, with 34 games to 30, they

will enjoy the rest with their week off. Hamlyn Park also had a 5-1 win in the second Semi over Grovedale, and will need to bring their A game for the prelim against Anglesea. Section 1’s Waurn Ponds moved into the grand final with their 4-2 win over Grovedale, while Bannockburn played their first match against Highton, due to two washouts, and lived to fight another day with a 5-1 win. Section 4 also saw the favourites move forward with Moriac winning the first Semi 4-2 over Clifton Springs and Teesdale taking a clean sweep against Grovedale, in their first

encounter for the season. The new open format produced some great tennis, and some of the closest results for the day. Section 1 will see Geelong Lawn’s Green and White teams play off in the prelim final after Green finished level on rubbers and sets but down by 1 game to Highton, while White drew on rubbers, but went ahead five sets to three and 11 games. The first semi in section 2 was also level on rubbers and sets, with Moolap taking the surprise win by one game over undefeated Wandana Heights White, while Ocean Grove bested third place Highton three rubbers to one. Section 3 minor premiers Wandana Heights White suffered only their second loss for the season going down to Grovedale 3-1, while third placed Ocean Grove had a convincing win over Drysdale four rubbers and eight sets to love. Section 4 also saw the favourites win through when Drysdale earned their grand final berth with a 3-1 win over Newcomb and Lara a clean sweep over Surfcoast Jan Juc. With a week off for the Labour Day weekend, all finalists will be itching to get back on court in two weeks.

Cats maintain positive vibe

Cats are cup favourites By Steve Larkin, AAP Reigning premiers Geelong will again reach the grand final, according to eight AFL captains who rate Melbourne’s Clayton Oliver as the Brownlow Medal favourite. The annual survey of 18 club captains reveals Brisbane are most heavily backed to make the finals - 17 skippers picked the Lions, the maximum votes possible. Geelong and Richmond were favoured to reach the finals by 16 captains when they were asked which club other than their own will make the playoffs. Sydney and Melbourne polled 15 votes,

followed by Fremantle (12) and Collingwood (11). At the other end of the spectrum, no captains believe North Melbourne, West Coast, GWS or Essendon will make the finals, while Adelaide and St Kilda received just one vote. When asked which other club will reach the grand final, eight captains nominated Geelong, while Melbourne and Brisbane received four votes, and Richmond and Sydney polled once. Melbourne midfielder Oliver was rate d by five captains as the likely Brownlow medallist with Brisbane’s Lachie Neale and Fremantle’s Andrew Brayshaw getting three votes.

Western Bulldogs star Marcus Bontempelli and Gold Coast co-captain Touk Miller received two votes while last year’s medallist Patrick Cripps polled one vote, along with Christian Petracca and Sydney’s Callum Mills. Geelong’s attacking ace Jeremy Cameron and Richmond spearhead Tom Lynch topped favouritism to lead the league’s goalkicking with six votes each. And Brisbane’s highly rated newcomer Will Aschroft was the overwhelming favourite to claim the Rising Star award - he received eight votes, with the Bulldogs’ Sam Darcy next-best with two.

An AFL premiership defence can be brought crashing down by all manner of obstacles, but flag-winning midfielder Tom Atkins can’t see attitude being one of them for Geelong. Nine days out from a round-one showdown with Collingwood, Atkins was quick to dismiss any suggestions the Cats’ hunger may have waned over a summer spent in the premiership glow. “It’s something I want to experience again and I know that feeling extends to the other players as well,” Atkins said. “Then you’ve got guys who missed out and want to taste that. “We understand it’s going to be a massive challenge. “Teams are always improving but we’re just looking forward to see how our game stacks up (against Collingwood).“ Atkins said sharing success with the likes of Max Holmes, Esava Ratugolea and Sam Menegola – who all missed out on the grand-final thumping of Sydney last year – is a driving factor. Holmes was the hard-luck story of grand final week as he fought to overc ome a hamstring injury sustained during the preliminary final. “You want them to experience it as well,” Atkins said. “That’s the aim every season, you want to go out there and play as well as you can and we were fortunate last year, but it resets this year.” Atkins has been impressed by off-season acquisitions Tanner Bruhn, Jack Bowes and Ollie Henry, who have helped off-set the loss of retired premiership captain Joel Selwood. But the 355-game club legend’s absence from the playing group will be felt for some time yet. “You notice for the first two weeks and think it’s a bit strange not having him around to soundboard and learn off, but you just get on with it,” Atkins said. “It just becomes the norm not having him here ... it’s sort of what happens in footy. “You lose five or six of your mates and you get another five or six. “You just get on with it an adapt, but we do miss the man.“ - AAP Friday, 10 March, 2023 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 25

SPORT Queenscliff takes top, Jan Juc through to finals Queenscliff won its top of the table clash against Barrabool in the final round of the BCPA home and away season to claim top spot on the ladder heading into the season’s finals series. With the first week of the two-day fixture rained out last week with Barrabool at 1-26, the match was instead played as a 50-over contest. Barrabool struggled to build scoring momentum, and after a slow start to the day the Bulls lost five wickets for seven runs to find themselves at 6-49. Lachlan Grigg and Edward Morrison steadied the ship momentarily, putting on 18

runs over the next six overs. But after Grigg went out lbw to Lachlan Stott in the 28th over the Barrabool tail failed to wag, the home side all out for 77 in the 31st over. Thomas Kidd took 4-17 for Queenscliff, with Tony Hanafin contributing 3 wickets and Stott taking 2-12. Queensliff also got off to a shaky start, losing four wickets for 18 runs in the first 16 overs before Lachie Kidd came to the crease. Kidd batted through to the 34th over, scoring 26 runs and leaving the visitors just eight runs short of victory when he was caught by Aaron

Pickering off the bowling of Dean Jones (2-19). Thomas Kidd, coming in at 10th spot, took just 10 balls to hit nine runs and see out Queenscliff’s innings of 8-78. Finn Peel had the best bowling figures for Barrabool with 2-16, while Morrison took one wicket while conceding just six runs for his eight overs. In the other rain-shortened game of the round, Anglesea chased down Armstrong Creek’s first innings total of 152 to win with 10 overs remaining. Danny Midolo led the bowling for Anglesea with 6-18, while Simon Umbers (43) was best

with the bat. Armstrong Creek’s loss gave Jan Juc the chance to sneak into the last finals spot, and the Sharks took it with both hands, defeating Ocean Grove by 132 runs to take fourth position on the ladder. St Leonards won its last match of the season, defeating Inverleigh’s total of 176 with four wickets in hand. Jan Juc will play Queenscliff in the semi-finals this week, while Barrabool will take on Anglesea. Matt Hewson

Ocean Grove, Eastern Park win semis

Bailey Sykes took 5-9 as Grovedale defeated East Belmont. (Russell McMahon)

Five for spinner Sykes By Matt Hewson A stunning display with the ball by Grovedale, led by spinner Bailey Sykes, laid the foundation for an imperious victory over East Belmont. Sykes took 5-9 as he sliced through middle order, with maidens in five of his 9.4 overs and two catches including one that dismissed Luke Inglis to leave the visitors reeling at 4-43. The Lions, who were hoping for a win to give themselves a chance at the minor premiership, capitulated for 69 runs from 35.4 overs. East Belmont opener Shane McNamara was his side’s top scorer with 13 runs from 46 balls, caught by Luke Guest off the bowling of Jack Wrigglesworth. Guest contributed two late wickets for the Tigers, with Clinton Ford and Sam Coutts each claiming one, while Dev Foott remained wicketless but conceded only 12 runs from his eight overs, frustrating the 26 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 10 March, 2023

East Belmont batters. In response, Grovedale eased to a winning total of 4-73 in the 27th over, with Michael McNeel scoring 22 at better than a run a ball. Having finished in fourth spot, Grovedale will face Newtown & Chilwell in the semi-finals this week. The Two Blues will come in on the back of a hard-fought win over St Josephs, electing to bat after winning the toss and setting a total of 187. Will Simson led the batting for Newtown & Chilwell, coming in at 4-87 and adding 66 runs before being caught off the bowling of Tom Smith as the last wicket of the innings. St Josephs could never quite keep up with the required run rate, with the scoreboard pressure eventually becoming too much as they were bowled out for 154 at the end of the 47th over. Four of the Joeys’ wickets were runouts,

with Patrick McKenna leading Newtown & Chilwell’s bowlers with 2-37 from his 10 overs. North Geelong claimed top spot after the finish of the home and away season, defeating Lara easily at Osborne Park. The home side dismissed the visitors for 75 runs, quickly running that total down in the 22nd over with eight wickets remaining. North Geelong opener Ned Cooper remained unbeaten for 41 runs, while Alistair McCann took three late wickets for just four runs for the victors. North Geelong will face East Belmont in the semi-finals this week. South Barwon outclassed Highton at Reynolds oval, making first innings total of 8-344 and bowling out the visitors for 231. Nick Butters scored his first century of the season, belting 115 from 87 overs, while Nathan Pearson also made a half-century for South and Nick Platt took 4-50.

Ocean Grove (1) has booked a Geelong Bowls Region Saturday Pennant grand final berth after defeating Highton in the clubs’ semi-finals match at Belmont Bowls Club on Saturday, March 4. After beating Highton in the last match of the home and away season the week before to finish on top of the ladder, Ocean Grove defeated Highton 67-47 in the semi, winning two of the match’s three rinks. While Ocean Grove skip Peter Loe couldn’t overcome Highton’s David Priddle, losing 17-21, Bradley Pavey and Matthew Flapper won their rinks decisively for the minor premiers with scores of 27-11 and 23-15, respectively. Ocean Grove will enjoy a well-earned week off while Highton will host Eastern Park in the preliminary final this Saturday, March 11. A hard-fought contest saw Eastern Park secure a narrow three-shot win in its semi-final against Queenscliff, emerging victorious 61-58. Eastern Park won two rinks, with Adam Martin getting the win against Ray Butler 25-19 and Glenn Slattery defeating Benjamin Russell 22-18. Queenscliff’s Steve Sullivan’s foursome did its best to overcome the deficit and had a strong 21-14 win against Stephen Young, but it was not enough to claw back the result. After finishing in fourth place on the ladder, Eastern Park will need to dispel memories of its two previous encounters with Highton this season - a 49-67 loss in round eight and a 49-57 loss in round 17 - to progress to the grand final against Ocean Grove.
