A spook tacular Halloween Greater Geelong residents celebrated Halloween on Tuesday in style. The event’s popularity has grown in recent years as youngsters go trick or treating and homeowners decorate their abode and hand out sweet treats. Despite the preconception that Halloween is an American custom, the tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honour all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. ■ See pages 4 and 29 for more local

Marles’ office ‘swarmed’ Five people have been arrested in Geelong after protesters swarmed the Defence Minister Richard Marles’ office, calling for Australia’s withdrawal of support for Israel. Close to 50 anti-Zionist activists took to the Broughman Street office on Wednesday, November 1, demanding a withdrawal of support for Israel’s decades-long occupation of Palestine. A Coburg man, 24, Thornbury man, 25, Brunswick woman, 21, and two Northern Territory women, aged 31 and 37, were arrested at the scene. Activist Nevo Zisin, who is Jewish, said it

was a peaceful protest that called for an “end to arming the Israeli genocide”, with activists securing themselves to the office by their necks with bicycle locks. “We condemn the diplomatic, political, financial support of this genocide, and as Jewish people, we refuse the conflation (meaning the merging) between Judaism and Zionism,” they said. “It goes against our Jewish values to stand idly by as Palestinians are murdered in their houses, in their homes, and their families and entire bloodlines are wiped out. “Over 800 families have been completely wiped off the registry...and over 8000 Palestinians have already lost their lives.”
Zisin said the goal of the protest was to call upon Mr Marles to condemn Israel’s actions on Gaza and the West Bank as there was currently a “complete blackout in Palestine”. “We refuse to allow our grief and our trauma as Jewish people to be manipulated and to be used as justification for ongoing genocide,” they said. “We will continue to resist this ongoing genocide until it ends and, not just ending with a ceasefire, but also with the end of the ongoing occupation that pushes Palestinians out of their homes. “As a Jewish person, I say I will not be silenced. I will not be bullied. I will not be harassed into complicity. I will stand against
injustice as part of my Jewish value.” Mr Marles, who is currently overseas and wasn’t at his office at the time, said in a statement that the “safety and wellbeing” of his staff was his “first concern” and that the “abuse and destruction of property or goods” was not acceptable. “Peaceful protest is a fundamental right in Australia’s democracy. It is important that as this occurs, it is done so safely and appropriately,” he said. The five activists arrested by police have since been released pending summons concerning trespassing, and no one was injured during the protest.

A tidy result for region The Geelong region featured strongly at the Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria Tidy Town and Cities Sustainability Awards last week. The City of Greater Geelong was one of four finalists in the 2023 Tidy Cities award due to its involvement in multiple projects, including its reusable cloth nappies program, the Geelong Circular Living Show and the Geelong Community Solar Program. While the City lost out to Merri-Bek in the major category, Farm My School’s pilot program at Bellarine Secondary College won the Community award, while Geelong Sustainability took out the Energy and Wellbeing categories with its Climate Safe Rooms and Community Power
Hub projects, respectively. The Farm My School program works to transform unused land within schools into regenerative market gardens, and the pilot program at Bellarine Secondary College in Drysdale includes the set up of a market garden, an orchard, food hub and bunker paddock. Geelong Sustainability’s Community Power Hub, which finished up in 2022, worked with organisations across the Barwon South West to develop community energy projects, educate the public about renewable energy and energy efficiency, and set up an ongoing website with tips on how to make homes more efficient and power bills cheaper. The Climate Safe Rooms project, a five year research project, involved transforming a room in vulnerable people’s homes into refuge from
extreme heat and cold weather, with a focus on sustainability and lower energy costs. Geelong Sustainability chief executive Dan Cowdell, who began his involvement with the not-for-profit as a volunteer in 2015, said his organisation was “really thrilled” to win the two awards. “Obviously we’re not doing these projects to win awards - we’re doing it because we’re passionate about them and we feel the need and want to see those outcomes in the community - but receiving that recognition is really lovely,” he said. “My takeaway more broadly was that it was great to see the region really well represented. We had a number of organisations that were finalists and also a few that took away the prizes, so it was really good.”
Deakin student wins top award By Matt Hewson Deakin engineering honours student Sarbjeet Singh won the Premier’s Award for International Student of the Year at the Victorian International Education Awards last Thursday, October 26. Mr Singh, 22, was recognised for his leadership skills, shown in his efforts to assist other international students adjust to study and life in Australia, as well as his excellent grades throughout his studies. After arriving in Australia from Punjab province, India in early 2020, Mr Singh had to swiftly adapt not only to study in a new country but to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. “With the pandemic, I had to learn a lot of things myself as a first-generation migrant; no one in my family has ever got a university degree, so I had no one to guide me through the process,” Mr Singh said. “As an 18 year old coming to a country where people don’t speak your first language, it was definitely a big challenge.” Thinking others could benefit from hearing about his successes and failures, he began sharing his experiences with other international students. “So I was learning by myself, doing my independent learning, falling down, getting back up again,” he said. “And then I thought, okay, there might be a lot of students having similar experiences.” He soon became a respected leader among the student community, establishing study groups for international students and working with the Indian community to organise events and festivals. Mr Singh said both Deakin and the wider Geelong community had been very welcoming and supportive. “I was completely thrilled (to win the award);

Despite last-minute concerns around funding, the state’s new recycling program kicked off this week, giving residents across Geelong, the Bellarine and the Surf Coast the chance to cash in their cans and bottles. Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) launched on Wednesday, November 1, with 21 locations across the region providing 10 cents per item for eligible containers. Most of the refund points are reverse vending machines, which scan and verify containers as they are deposited and provide retail cash vouchers, direct funds transfers to bank accounts or donations to a nominated charity or community group. In addition to the vending machines, five over the counter refund points are located in Belmont, East Geelong, Moolap and Portarlington, with a further two automated depots as Bell Park and Breakwater. TOMRA Cleanaway, a partnership between global collection and sorting provider TOMRA and Australian waste and resource recovery company Cleanaway, will provide the service delivery in the western third of the state. TOMRA Cleanaway chief executive James Dorney said his organisation was excited to launch the program in western Victoria. “Our machines are quick, convenient, accurate and automated, and are able to be seamlessly integrated into retail and community locations,” Mr Dorney said. “In addition to the 128 container refund points across western Melbourne and western regional Victoria that go live on 1 November, we will continue to add more refund points in the West Zone for many months to come. So the scheme will continue to get more and more convenient and rewarding.” Victorian Minister for Environment Steve Dimopoulos said Victoria’s CDS will be the most accessible and convenient in the country, making it easier than ever to recycle in the Geelong region and across the state. “CDS Vic will maximise the number of cans, bottles and cartons being recycled into new products, while reducing the amount of litter in Victoria by up to half,” he said.

New information centre opens Geelong’s Visitor Information Centre has now relocated to City Hall after 30 years at the National Wool Museum. After a series of upgrades at the site, the new centre has officially opened at Gheringhap Street and is open 10am till 4pm, seven days a week (closed for Christmas Day). Tourists visiting the region can access information on what Greater Geelong has to offer at the centre, connecting to tours, arts and culture recommendations, as well as hospitality and accommodation and other local businesses. Tourism Greater Geelong and the Bellarine (TGGB) executive director Tracy Carter said the refit was funded via the Tourism Greater Geelong Visitor Services strategy and delivered by local businesses and suppliers. “After months of dedication and hard work,
we’re thrilled to throw open the doors to our brand new Visitor Information Centre at City Hall,” Ms Carter said. “The foyer has received a fresh lick of paint, our colourful branding is splashed brightly on the walls, and the brochure racks are up and ready. “We can’t wait to greet and welcome visitors in our space in the heart of the cultural and dining precinct.” Visitors to the centre will be greeted by one of TGGB’s 60 volunteers, and can also book local tours with volunteer guides. Geelong mayor Trent Sullivan said TGGB’s “fantastic volunteers” had a wealth of local knowledge to share with tourists, with five volunteers celebrating 30 years of service. “Our volunteers really know our region inside and out and are dedicated to helping

Shari’s spirited Halloween open to all By Jena Carr The Halloween spirit was in full force at a Grovedale home, with a giant spider, animatronics and a haunted house taking over the property. Shari Archibald welcomed the public to her Dalyston Street home for the first time on Tuesday, October 31, from 3pm to 9pm. Ms Archibald said she received an “amazing turnout”, with people lining up down her driveway and out onto the streets to go through the haunted house. “Every year for the last 15 years, I’ve had a private party for friends and family,” she said. “This was the first year that I decided to put on a big display out the front and open the haunted house for the public.” “Seeing the reaction from everybody going through the haunted house and just the whole experience was really cool while getting the whole community together to have fun, dress up and eat lollies.” Ms Archibald said it took more than a week

to set up the decorations for her Saturday, October 28, party and then two days to move everything out to the front of her house for Halloween night. “To move everything from the backyard into the front yard and then move everything in the house into the haunted house was a mad rush,” she said.
“The spider on the roof was definitely a big hit, but just all the big animatronic props and the walk-through with the haunted house, everyone thought it was amazing. “We’ve got a whole 12 months to plan for the next one, but we’ll definitely do something again next year because it was a huge hit with everyone.”
Focus on ‘core’: Torquay waste transfer plan funded By Jena Carr Torquay may soon have a waste transfer station after the Surf Coast Shire Council agreed to deliver funds for strategic waste projects. Council approved the transfer of $190,000 from the Waste Reserve to increase the Anglesea Landfill Transition Plan budget and establish a Torquay Transfer Station Plan during its October 24 meeting. Councillor Rose Hodge said the decision to transfer funds to the reserve was part of council’s core services in “rates, roads and rubbish”. 4 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 3 November, 2023
“We’ve really got to work on what we are going to do in the future and this money will help decide that,” she said. “We need to make sure we put money into planning where we know our best outputs of the project will help inform where waste management costs are and will influence where we have our charges.” The budget for the Anglesea Landfill Transition Plan project will be increased by $70,000 to a total of $120,000, and the Torquay Transfer Station Plan project will also feature a budget of $120,000. Cr Hodge said the plan for a future transfer
station in Torquay was “a really important project” as it was expected that the Anglesea Landfill could reach capacity in 2027. “We need to make sure we are very responsible in this area of waste management,” she said. “If we can get it done, and then plan and budget for it in the future, it will be much easier for our residents knowing what we are doing with it.” Shire officers will now begin planning for the closure of the Anglesea Landfill and future Torquay Transfer Station following the approved transfer of funds by Council.
Bike training begins for the People’s Ride With the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race weekend in January fast approaching, the cycling festival’s namesake visited Geelong to kick off preparations for a group of People’s Ride veterans.

Evans said he always enjoyed taking part in the People’s Ride. “There’s no better time to make use of warmer weather and start training for the summer,” he said. “Since its inception in 2015, the TAC People’s Ride has always been about people of all ages and abilities enjoying time on the bike together and I’m excited to continue that spirit into 2024.” Seven-time TAC People’s Ride participant Michelle Clarkson said she was excited to take part in the event again in 2024. “I love coming down with my sister and our friends, it’s just a great weekend riding with the girls,” she said. “It’s such a wonderful opportunity to ride on the same roads as the pros with Cadel, we look forward to it every year.” The Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race will be held on January 26 to 28, with the People’s Ride taking place on Saturday, January 27.

Study targets breast cancer By Jena Carr An awareness study could help prevent women with a mutated gene from developing breast cancer, with a Geelong woman taking part in the trial. The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) funded research trial looks at ways to prevent breast cancer in women who carry a faulty BRCA1 gene (BRCA-P). Megan Daniels said she became involved in the trial after most of the women in her family were confirmed to have the faulty gene, which is linked to breast cancer.
Ms Daniels said she hoped the trial would help prevent people with the gene from developing breast cancer as she was worried about her kids being diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. “When my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019, doctors decided to do the genetic testing because it was a little bit out of out of the blue,” she said. “My mum and my grandmother both had breast cancer, but she was quite young, so they did the genetic testing for all of us, and it came back positive for all the females in the family.”
Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research oncologist and NBCF-funded researcher Professor Geoff Lindeman said women with the faulty BRCA1 gene had a 72 per cent risk of developing breast cancer. Professor Lindeman said researchers were looking to see if the drug Denosumab, usually used to treat bone thinning, could be used as a breast cancer prevention agent for women. “Our trial is investigating an intervention given through a simple injection every six months, that might prevent breast cancers,” he said. “Women will receive a study drug or a
placebo, and then we monitor them for the occurrence of breast cancer and to see if the drug has prevented properties.” NBCF associate professor Cleola Anderiesz said this trial would help the move to zero deaths from breast cancer in Australia. “Since NBCF’s inception in 1994, the death rate from breast cancer has reduced by 43 per cent thanks in large part to investment in research,” she said.

More options for those on their care journey Waurn Ponds has a new bed-based overnight and end-of-life facility to provide people diagnosed with a life-limiting illness with more care options. Deputy Prime Minister and Member for Corio Richard Marles officially opened Anam Cara House Geelong’s $22.6 million palliative care and 20-bedroom facility on Friday, October 27. Mr Marles said the federal government contributed $6.7 million to construct the facility and helped the not-for-profit organisation deliver its teaching and research partnership with Deakin University. “Anam Cara House Geelong is an example of Geelong’s history of innovation and care for the community and it’s a place I have proudly been a supporter of for a very long time,” he said. “In addition to the care provided in this facility, the partnership with Deakin

University will see teaching and research that will support the growth in the health workforce and provide care for generations of Geelong families.”
Anam Cara House Geelong chair Diana Taylor said the facility had been a decade in the making, with end-of-life care operations available from February next year.
“This project has been a vision for our community for almost 10 years,” she said. “This facility will support our community members on their care journey by providing additional choice in palliative care options in a holistic way.” Deakin University vice-chancellor Professor Iain Martin said he was “immensely proud” of the school’s partnership with Anam Cara, with the new facility on the Waurn Ponds campus. “Deakin has a strong reputation and record of achievements in health, and we are committed to developing and delivering solutions that improve health care for our communities,” he said. “Particularly, helping to develop sustainable models of health care delivery, and outcomes that reduce health disparities across the community.”

Baraka the Kid, aka Fiston Baraka. (Ivan Kemp) 370025_08
Ready to launch By Matt Hewson Five emerging local musicians will take part in the Grass Roots Indie Development (GRID) program as it comes to Geelong for the first time. Baraka the Kid, Daisy Kilbourne, Elena Nichols, Ridzyray and Wild Gloriosa were selected from a pool of 50 applicants to take part in the program, which offers mentoring, collaboration with producers, recording sessions, live gigs and the creation of an artist documentary. The mentors for this Geelong GRID program include MC, producer and multiinstrumentalist Joelistics (Joel Ma), engineer, songwriter and producer Becki Whitton, producer Ariel Blum, festival programmer Rich Moffat and Broken Leg PR director Monique Matosic. Blum, who was also one of the co-founders of the GRID Series back in 2013, said the program had come a long way from its beginnings as a local meet and greet gig at the Elsternwick Hotel. “We realised there was something there the artists really valued, (which was) meeting people in the industry and creating networks,” he said. “So we expanded our program. We’ve been running for the last 10 years in outer suburban
areas in Victoria and also interstate. “We’ve always invited artists who are incredibly talented but haven’t necessarily had the support network beneath them to excel and become visible in the ecosystem.” Lovely Banks rapper Baraka the Kid, aka Fiston Baraka, came to Australia from the Congo with his family in 2010. For Baraka, 23, the program is all about soaking up the experience of the program mentors. “I’ve been making music for so long that I know how to be creative and how to elevate, so for me it’s more so about grasping the mindset of all the producers and branding partners,” he said. “It’s being able to be in the same room with people like that, learning from them, and taking that knowledge back and applying it to my music and my brand.” Member for Geelong Christine Couzens said the state government was proud to support young Geelong musicians through the Geelong GRID program. “That young musicians, from different cultural backgrounds, can receive support and mentoring from experienced industry professionals, gives them the opportunity to grow as music professionals,” Ms Couzens said.
Clubs get roads cash

Football and netball clubs across the region will receive cash from the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) Club Rewards program for the campaigning they have done to reduce deaths and trauma on our roads. The Victorian government and TAC announced the reward amounts this week, with 10 local clubs receiving cash for their efforts, including Geelong clubs Corio ($800), Newcomb Power ($1800), Belmont Lions ($800), East Geelong ($1800), North Shore ($800), Leopold ($1800) and Geelong West Giants ($4300). The program encourages clubs to engage with their players and members to promote road safety and raise awareness of the dangers of distracted and drink driving. Clubs are able to use the cash rewards for education programs around road safety and club transport initiatives, as well as equipment, uniforms and facility upgrades
and improvements. Leopold vice president and Club Rewards program organiser Tim Secombe said the effect of engaging with the program had been “pretty profound”. “Our head trainer lost his son, who fell asleep at the wheel, it was a really sad situation,” Mr Secombe said. “We organised a face-to-face session with all our under-18 footballers and junior netballers to come along and hear from Phil about his story and how much it affected him and his family. “We also had an ex-player of ours who works at Barwon Prison, and he spoke about the ramifications of causing road trauma. “The looks on the faces of the younger ones was just unbelievable. It was just a wow moment, and no doubt got them thinking about the importance of driving safely.” Mr Secombe said the reward money was likely to go towards a digital scoreboard that could continue to promote the TAC’s message.

Speaking about his mental health and continuing the conversation about suicide has become a life mission.
Turning to the written word Shane Kelton speaks to Mikayla Van Loon about his journey with mental health and his foray into a new book that deals with the challenges. Please note this story contains references to suicide. From high school until now Shane Kelton, 35, has battled, often in silence, serious mental health challenges. Telling his story for the first time through the written word, Shane will be launching his book ‘I didn’t want to die, I just wanted the pain to end’ in Geelong on Sunday 5 November. Growing up, Shane’s first experiences of suicide was hearing about the deaths of students at his high school in the older year levels when rumours would spread about the cause. “[It was a] negative flow on effect of that because I started really suppressing the way I was feeling and the way I was thinking and I thought I was alone in those thoughts and alone in those feelings and experiences that I was having through those years,” he said. Hiding his feelings led to a build up of anger in his late teens, grabbing the attention of his family that something was wrong but Shane said there was never any mention of mental health as a condition. “Still through that period of time, there was no mention of mental health issues or the reality that other people were experiencing them or could experience them,” he said. By 21 years old, he had attempted to take his own life and it was survival that set him on a path to recovery. “What I learned after my suicide attempt was there was a lot of people experiencing the same or very similar things,” he said. “So it opened my eyes up to the fact that maybe I needed to speak about it and that would find me on a path where I could get the help I needed.” A diagnosis of mental illness, Shane said, “felt really relieving but at the same time, I then started to believe that I was depression or I was anxiety”. “Even to this day, I’m 14 years on since my suicide attempt, I still experience some of those same thoughts or same feelings, because you’re human.” But having conversations everyday with friends and family, even people he doesn’t 8 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 3 November, 2023

know, has become a life mission. “There’s a long way to go. I don’t think we can eradicate suicides in my lifetime but I know for me, it’s about allowing people just to feel a little bit more comfortable and having those conversations,” Kelton said. “I know for a fact, having these conversations has saved people within my life. I’ve had them reach out to me and the next day, they said, ‘Thank you, you’ve probably just saved my life’.” From speaking with people and hearing their stories, Shane said he always had a desire to write a book about his own experiences with suicidal thoughts but “fear got in the way”.

experienced suicide from the outside, with a close friend from his 20s, as well as a young person from Mooroolbark Cricket Club, both taking their own lives. “It was a kid that I loved and so many people loved. He was cheeky, he had a beautiful smile, he was larrikin, and just someone that would be deeply missed. “I remember it happening and I came home to my wife and I basically said, ‘I need to write this book, now I have to do it, I can’t let fear stop me’.” Though nervous about sharing his vulnerabilities, another defining moment solidified Shane’s need to “If I can share and give people a lot more understanding of what it’s like before suicide
attempts or on the other side of it, then I can help a lot of people. “There was definitely doubt through the last 12 months writing the book and one of them was through March, April. I was sitting with a friend and we were both talking about our previous suicide attempts and we’re both sitting there crying, two males in the mid 30s just sharing and hugging each other. “Only three months later he ended up taking his own life and I from that moment on was like this book will go out to the public because there’s still so many people struggling in silence.” While reliving moments of hardship and reflecting on times of hurt, Shane said “it’s not about me, it’s about other people”, that writing a book was always about keeping his friends’ memories alive and keeping the conversation going for them. “I was very open and honest that it was a tough process, reliving and talking about things in the book that I’ve never spoken about before, the depth of it. “There’s going to be stories in there that no one would know, not even my closest friends, not even therapists. So it’s been a challenging experience but the support from everyone has been second to none.” Hosting the Geelong launch at Highton Cricket Club, Shane said it felt like the perfect fit. “I won’t ever shy away from the fact that sporting clubs play this incredible role as being like a second family for you. They’re there when the chips are down, and they’re there to pick you up. They’re also there to keep you accountable to keep moving forward,” he said. If one thing comes from the launch event or from his book, Shane said it would be a simple message of not trying to fix someone. “You don’t need to fix the individual, you just need to sit with them. You just need to listen and you just need to be a friend or a family member. You don’t need to fix them. “If that message could continue to be portrayed across the world, we might not be as fearful as we are about having those conversations, which we can tend to be when the word suicide comes up. “It’s uncomfortable and people unfortunately aren’t well equipped to talk about it at the moment, but are definitely becoming more well equipped and just having those conversations is going to mean a lot of changes will happen quickly.” To learn more about Shane Kelton, visit his website powerstrengthvulnerability.com. au. The launch event will be held at Highton Cricket Club on Reynolds Road, starting at 4pm.

Prabodh does the hard yards By Jena Carr A 72-year-old man has walked through Geelong while making his way to Sydney from Melbourne to raise money and awareness for the McGrath Foundation. Melbourne’s Dr Prabodh Malhotra started his 66-day journey from the Melbourne Cricket Ground on October 29 and is expected to arrive at the Sydney Cricket Ground on January 3. Dr Malhotra walked to Geelong from Queenscliff on Wednesday, November 1, before going to Lethbridge the next day. “I’ve been here since 1980, and this country has given me a beautiful life,” he said. “I don’t know how long I’ve got before I disappear from this world and before I go, I wanted to give something back to the country that has given me so much.” Dr Malhotra said he was an enthusiastic supporter of the McGrath Foundation and passionate about helping people receive the
best breast cancer care. “My older sister back in India, she’s gone through a terrible experience. She had breast cancer and she is a survivor of close to six years,” he said. “I found the McGrath Foundation is one of the organisations that has done tremendous work in the area of breast cancer by helping lots of patients and their families.” Dr Malhotra said he was glad to have the opportunity to “make a small contribution to such a noble cause” and encouraged everyone to do their part. “You could turn your regular walk into a mission or a purpose,” he said. “Rather than having a walk just for the sake of walking or getting fit or losing weight, you could still do the walk and turn it into helping others.” Visit fundraise.mcgrathfoundation.com. au/fundraisers/prabodhmalhotra to donate to the McGrath Foundation through Dr Malhotra.

MY PLACE Geelong’s Pam Lamont has lived in the region for most of her life and volunteers with the Geelong Food Relief charity, which provides food assistance for people in need. Pam speaks with the Independent’s Jena Carr about what she likes about living and volunteering in Geelong What is your connection to Geelong? I have lived in Geelong all of my life, and I volunteer with the Geelong Food Relief centre. What do you like about where you live? I love that my family lives here, including my grandchildren. What, if anything, would you change about where you live? If I could change anything about Geelong, it would be nice to have fewer people. Geelong has grown significantly, with more people coming to the region to call it home, but I loved it when it was a little smaller. Where is your favourite place to spend time? I love spending time at home, but I do prefer travelling when I can. What is something people may not know about you? I loved being involved in basketball many years ago as a player and administrator. What do you like about your role with Geelong Food Relief, and how did you get involved with them? I got involved with Geelong Food Relief because I was looking for something to do. I like to keep busy, and I like the centre’s mini-mart because I love talking to people. Is there anything else you would like to add? I enjoy working with many great people, and I love being able to help out my local community.

Concern for dumped hatchlings I’ve been worried about hatchling birds falling out of nests in the wind, but fortunately I haven’t found any on the ground. I found two little wattlebird hatchlings in the local park. I don’t know where their nest was, but they were perched on a tree branch and were being very dutifully fed by one of the parents. I went the next day and couldn’t see or hear the birds so hopefully they flew to a different area, although they were so tiny, they didn’t look capable of it. A few days later near this area I spotted an Australian hobby, a small raptor of the falcon family, on a rooftop TV aerial. Hobbies are agile fliers and prey on small birds as well as insects, and while the bird was perched it was being dive bombed by a few brave welcome swallows that I assume had a nest close by. I spotted four hardhead ducks in the pond on Parkside Boulevard. These ducks may be present throughout the year in many areas but can also be dispersive and nomadic during dry seasons or after very successful breeding seasons. Another nomadic bird that can be seen in good numbers on the Bellarine currently is the white-necked heron, which moves about the country inhabiting wetlands, and can be found in coastal areas after rain. There has been a nest of white-faced herons in my local park (also known as Sue’s Park) 12 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 3 November, 2023

and the two hatchlings look almost fully feathered and fully grown, so it won’t be long now until they leave the nest. Karen from Ocean Grove sent me a photo of another bird with strange plumage, which can be identified as a pale Pacific black duck. Sometimes birds other animals can exhibit naturally occurring colour and pigment variations that can make ID difficult, and this can be caused by albinism, which is a genetic mutation, or leucism which occurs due to a lack of pigment cells present during development, amongst other causes. I received an email from Carole, who informed me that the amazing migratory shorebirds, known as ruddy turnstones, have returned to St Leonards beach near the pier.
Carole’s ruddy turnstone at St Leonards.
Carole has seen a pleasing number of birds this week when she did the Birdlife Australia 20-minute Backyard Bird count. Carole counted anything up to 14 species in each count but also numbers of individuals were increased as well. I received an email from Ocean Grove locals Anne and Alan, who have returned from five months away with the caravan. They travelled throughout NSW and Queensland and did 18,000km all up. Alan has thousands of bird photos to sort through. One of the highlights was volunteering as camp hosts for three weeks at Bowra Wildlife Sanctuary, a 14,000 hectare property owned and managed by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy which is located about 17km north of Cunnamulla.
Each evening, all the campers gathered for ‘bird call’ to tally which of the 219 species listed had seen that day; the highest count was 92. If any readers are passing through south-west Queensland, it’s well worth visiting for a day or more to drive around the property, they said. It is seasonal; details are available on the AWC website. Alan also had some good luck last week at Coogoorah Reserve, Anglesea. while photographing blue-winged parrots, a Latham’s Snipe wandered across the swamp right in front of him. Alan had been trying to get a photo of this snipe earlier this year and saw it on no less than three occasions in this same location, but it flew off each time before he could grab a photo.

Renewable program awarded Barwon Water’s Biochar to Batteries research project has received state-wide recognition. The project, which is linked to the development of the Regional Renewable Organics Network (RRON), won the Australian Water Association’s Victorian R&D Excellence Award on October 26. Barwon Water managing director Shaun Cumming said the Biochar to Batteries project looked to use biochar, which is created through a carbonisation process, in batteries and supercapacitors.
“The project underscores the vital role that the water sector can play in producing critical resources for the circular and new energy economy,” he said. “By repurposing organic waste into high-value biochar, we will contribute to the circular economy, reduce waste, and turn what was once considered waste into a valuable resource. “This research not only helps mitigate climate change impacts but also enhances Victoria’s position as a hub for innovation and
research in sustainable technologies.” The RRON project aims to transform organic waste into biochar, a high-value agricultural product, and generate renewable energy. Mr Cumming said both energy storage technology projects relied on highly conductive carbon materials to transfer energy. “As we move forward, our next steps involve submitting a planning permit application to the City of Greater Geelong and a development
license application to the EPA,” he said. “We are already making strides in biochar research and development and look forward to sharing more about our progress during the upcoming community engagement sessions. “We look forward to engaging with the community and working together to shape a more sustainable future for our region.” Visit yoursay.barwonwater.vic.gov.au/ RRON for more information or to provide feedback on the RRON project.
300 years of service By Jena Carr Leopold Fire Brigade has lit up in recognition of its members’ service and experience with a Service Awards Presentation Dinner. The event celebrated more than 300 years of service at the brigade, with members of five to 60 years of experience in the CFA receiving awards. Captain Chris Wilkinson received the National Medal for his contribution to the community through his role and said receiving the award was an honour but not something he strived for. “I recognise that it is a quite a momentous award, so it certainly makes me proud to receive it, but I haven’t set out to achieve it, it’s just part of the work that I’ve put in for many years,” he said. “We help people, we do make a difference and I’ve always grown up with a place in the community field and it’s another way to add
to that community field.” “When you’ve got that community role, you want to give back and contribute to that community, which we certainly do at Leopold CFA.” Captain Wilkinson said the awards night went well and that many other members of the Leopold Fire Brigade also won awards for their years of service. Firefighter Geoff Richards received the National Medal Fourth Clasp for his over 55 years of service, and firefighter Don Barber was awarded a CFA Life Membership for his ongoing commitment. Leopold Fire Brigade started in 1936, and the current station was opened in 1970, with continuous upgrades of vehicles and equipment undertaken throughout the years. “You don’t have to fight fires to be able to contribute and new members are always welcomed,” Captain Wilkinson said.

Divine casting: Charles Edwards and Rebecca Gibney in Under the Vines.
UNDER THE VINES ABC TV, Friday, 8.30pm
The dynamite charms of Rebecca Gibney (Packed to the Rafters) and Charles Edwards (The Crown) cultivate this quirky and fail-safe comedy of characters about suddenly running an inherited winery in New Zealand, with mixed results. While the characters often tread a predictable path, it’s the free-flowing humour that hooks you in. As season two kicks off, it’s no surprise that season three of this idyllic ensemble comedy is already in production. With the promise of romance between Daisy (Gibney) and Louis (Edwards) always dangling but yet to ripen, he makes another gallant attempt to save his flailing marriage to Simone (Sara Wiseman, A Place to Call Home).

British mathematician Hannah Fry (pictured) has been tapping into her considerable nous and curiosity to predict the future in this fascinating series. It has been a compelling, fun and uplifting ride as the forwardthinking millennial investigated and interrogated IT specialists, start-up whizzes, neuroscientists and general geniuses to open up our minds about the ambitious and encouraging possibilities. In tonight’s season final, Fry turns her keen attention to the environment. The planet’s natural landscape and ecosystem may be in trouble, but a revolutionary new conservation concept offers hope. Put on your metaphorical hiking boots for this expansive trip from Japan’s Fukushima to California.
Crime shows and podcasts are a wildly popular genre. From unnerving crime scene photos to witness testimonies and newly discovered evidence, they offer a fascinating, macabre look at the very dark side of human nature. It’s compelling to play armchair detective, putting together the pieces of the puzzling crime to perhaps even solve it. In this cold-case series, retired detective Deborah Wallace is unravelling clues to some of Australia’s most baffling unsolved murders, with the backing of local police, in an effort to finally bring closure and put these cases to bed. Tonight, it’s the case of 26-year-old new mother Lynette White, who was tragically murdered in her Coogee apartment back in 1973.
Across two bounteous episodes, embellished with some of India’s most fascinating and iconic places, historian Bettany Hughes (pictured) finds both wisdom and stunning scenery in this heaving country. It’s a fleeting but invigorating trip worth taking from the comfort of the couch. “It’s not just the what and the how, but the why,” explains Hughes. “I’m asking: “Why do these beautiful places matter?”’ Hughes chats to locals and historians in her quest to see and understand India’s culture and history. It’s an unexpectedly emotional experience in the holy city of Varanasi and the Taj Mahal.

Great ways to stay fit, healthy Staying active in retirement is essential for maintaining physical and mental well-being. Here are some easy ways for seniors to stay active: 1. Walking: Walking is one of the simplest and most effective forms of exercise. Aim for at least 30 minutes of brisk walking each day, either outdoors or on a treadmill if weather is a concern. 2. Swimming: Swimming is a low-impact exercise that’s easy on the joints and provides a full-body workout. Many retirement communities have pools, or you can visit a local public pool. 3. Tai Chi: Tai Chi is a gentle form of exercise that improves balance, flexibility, and relaxation. It’s especially beneficial for seniors, and many community centers offer Tai Chi classes. 4. Yoga: Yoga helps with flexibility, balance, and stress reduction. Look for classes designed for seniors or practice gentle yoga routines at home with the help of instructional videos. 5. Dancing: Dancing is a fun way to stay active. Whether you prefer ballroom, line dancing, or Zumba, dancing can help improve cardiovascular health and coordination. 6. Chair Exercises: Chair exercises are a great option for seniors with mobility limitations. You can perform a variety of seated exercises to work on strength, flexibility, and balance. 7. Cycling: If you have access to a stationary bike or a tricycle, cycling can be a fantastic way to get your heart rate up and improve leg strength. 8. Gardening: Gardening is a physically active hobby that provides exercise and the
satisfaction of tending to plants. Planting, weeding, and harvesting all involve movement. 9. Golf: Golf is a low-impact sport that allows you to enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise. Walking the course instead of using a cart can increase physical activity. 10. Social Activities: Join clubs or groups that involve physical activities, like walking clubs, senior sports leagues, or even social dancing groups. The social aspect can make exercise more enjoyable. 11. Stretching: Regular stretching exercises can help maintain flexibility and reduce the risk of injury. Include stretches as part of your daily routine. 12. Strength Training: Light strength training with resistance bands or light weights can help maintain muscle mass and bone density. 13. Active Hobbies: Pursue hobbies that require movement, such as birdwatching, fishing, or photography, to keep yourself engaged and active. 14. Water Aerobics: Many retirement communities and fitness centers offer water aerobics classes, which provide a gentle but effective workout in the pool. 15. Volunteer Work: Volunteering for community projects that involve physical activity, such as cleaning up parks or participating in charity walks, can keep you active while giving back to your community. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise routine, especially if you have underlying health conditions. They can provide guidance on what activities are safe and appropriate for your individual needs and abilities.

Caring for a loved one diagnosed with dementia is challenging and can be demanding and stressful. Whilst we can be focused emotionally on the diagnosis, the main thing to think about is whether your loved one’s needs are being met at home. If a person’s dementia has progressed enough that they need more care and support than you can provide, it may be time for them to go into a care home, as they may need 24-hour care. Their needs will likely increase, and despite
your best efforts, you will possibly not be able to meet these. It’s never going to be easy placing your loved one in an aged care home, but you also need to think about what is best for you and your family and what will enable you to make your t ime together positive and productive. Homestyle Aged Care has specific memory support units in its homes. If you would like to find out more information or book a tour, call the dedicated admission team on 1300 104 663.

ENTERTAINMENT
Blues from the heart By Matt Hewson While Covid-19 wreaked havoc on the entertainment industry in general, and the music industry in particular, it also provided opportunities for some. One such is New Zealand blues master Grant Haua, who found himself only months into a deal with French blues and roots label Dixiefrog when the pandemic struck in early 2020. “(Dixiefrog) picked me up for my Awa Blues album and then two months later Covid hit; I was all ready to tour there, but I got hamstrung for about a year, maybe 18 months,” Haua said. “It’s been kind of a blessing and a curse. Covid really closed up a lot of things. It’s been pretty tough out there for musicians. “But because I was willing to work hard, I managed to pick up a lot of good gigs over there, and I kind of got my foot in the door. I finally got over there last year, and I’ve done three tours there now, I got to do (music television show) Rockpalast, one of the iconic gigs in Germany. “The doors are starting to open up for me there now; I’m getting on French TV and I’m doing really well on the blues charts over there. Things are going pretty good, bro.” Haua’s music, by turns pyrotechnical and heartfelt, is fueled by his heritage, his family and his connection to his homeland. “A lot of my music stems from those strong family connections,” he said. “A lot of songs I write are about my home. It could be about my mum, about my kids… I try to keep it simple. “I write about the things that I love, and it works for me.” Grant Haua performs Saturday, November 4 at Pistol Pete’s, supported by Oscar LaDell. Doors open at 9pm, show starts at 9.30pm.
Star organist in recital at St Paul’s By Matt Hewson Music lovers have the opportunity to hear a world-class organist at St Paul’s Anglican when John O’Donnell performs next Sunday, 12 November The internationally renowned organist and harpsichordist will perform a carefully selected program of works focusing on French Romantic and 20th century organ music, including Jeanne Demessieux, Jehan Alain, Gabriel Pierne and Charles-Marie Widor. O’Donnell, who was the first person ever to perform the complete organ and harpsichord works of JS Bach in public through a series of 29 recitals, will also include music from the master composer and keyboardist. Originally from Sydney, O’Donnell was appointed lecturer in Academic Studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music at the age of 18. In 1974 he began lecturing at the Victorian College of the Arts, where he also served as Dean. O’Donnell currently serves as the musical director at All Saints Anglican Church in East St Kilda, Monash University organist and director of Ensemble Gombert, which he founded in 1990. O’Donnell said he was very much looking forward to the concert. His recital begins at 3pm, 12 November. Visit www.trybooking.com/ clids for tickets and more information.

MOTOR
Charm offensive from Cherokee By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring Who’d have thought it? After years of mixing it with off-road heavy hitters the Jeep Grand Cherokee has taken on a certain charm, with its latest version of the Overland making a play to join the SUV aristocracy. With its new-found power to please and attract, the Aussie Cherokee five-seater new order is represented by three variants – Night Eagle at $77,950, Limited ($83,950) and Overland, starting at $98,450, all before on-road costs. All are powered by a single petrol V6 engine. The opening pair come with single-speed all-wheel drive, with low range and coil springs, while the Overland (on test here) has a low range transfer case and height adjustable air suspension. In comparison, the previous Cherokee roster included high spec Summit and S-Overland, with a 3-litre turbo-diesel V6, set back buyers around $85,000, plus on-roads, $10,000 under the petrol new chum. Two cost options now include a Luxury Tech Group ($4500) and Off Road Group ($2750), pushing the price over $100,000. The test vehicle boasted the luxury pack. As far as customer care is concerned, the so-called ‘Jeep Wave Commitment’ includes capped servicing, five-year/100,000km warranty and lifetime roadside assistance, providing the regular service schedule at a Jeep dealer is adhered to. STYLING Following on from its big brother Grand Cherokee L the WL Grand Cherokee is shorter by around 300 mm of overall length and 128 mm of wheelbase, and in looks is more SUV than Jeep 4x4. With this modern, upmarket move, however, the newbie refuses to let go completely of its Jeep roots with the company’s trademark seven-slot radiator grille up front. Twin-pane panoramic sunroof and 20-inch alloy wheels add appeal both inside and out. INTERIOR With the trimmed body comes five seats instead of seven, with top-notch Nappa leather cladding, a big twin-pane sunroof opening up the cabin, and LED ambient lighting to set the tone at night. There’s more room (1067 litres to the roof), too, to accommodate the better class of cargo (luggage). This is upped to 2005 litres with the rear seat backs folded. The space includes a 12V power outlet, four tie-down points, and a full-size spare wheel nestled under the floor. As mentioned above, the test vehicle was also blessed with $4500 worth of the Luxury Tech Group extras, including front seats that are 12-way power adjustable, with memory and massage function, there’s four-zone climate control and second-row ventilated outboard seats and window shades. Up front digital rear-view mirror is augmented by a wireless charging pad. 32 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 3 November, 2023
The Grand Cherokee has trimmed down and smartened up to take on some of the stiffest competition in its segment. (supplied)
INFOTAINMENT A 10.5-inch screen with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, plus a nine-speaker Alpine sound system and satellite navigation, are among standard Overland features. Jeepish by nature, small buttons on the back of the steering wheel, once discovered, are handy for digital radio control, mini paddle gear-shifters there not so convenient. Power access comes via twin USB-A and USB-C points, as well as a 12V outlet and wireless charging pad up front. The second row includes air vents and power outlets. Jeep’s Uconnect Services, via a paired smartphone, allows users remotely to lock and unlock the vehicle, send navigation destinations to the car, and check vehicle status for things like fuel level, tyre pressure, along with alerts for possible break-ins. ENGINES/TRANSMISSIONS Unlike the previous Grand Cherokees – with optional turbo-diesel or V8 power - the new WL range is limited to a single 3.6-litre V6 petrol engine producing 210 kW and 344 Nm, mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission. SAFETY The five-seat petrol models have earned a
four-star ANCAP rating, as opposed to the seven-seater’s five-star, due to a problem with the performance of the rear seat belts. Standard systems include active emergency braking and pedestrian/cyclist detection, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning with active lane keeping, advanced brake assist, front and rear parking sensors and 360-degree camera view. A word about lane departure warning: there seems to be little consistency in its workings, the beeps come thick and fast or not at all, under pretty much identical driving conditions. Artificial intelligence, indeed. DRIVING The accelerator pedal needs some concentrated attention, with the car being a bit skittish from the get-go, especially on inclines with ragged surfaces. Conversely, with peak torque not coming up until 4000rpm, it’s not surprising the new Grand Cherokee Overland feels short on performance on the bitumen. On road, the Grand Cherokee Overland is said to be capable of fuel consumption of 9.9 litres per 100km on the combined urban/ highway cycle. The Tester averaged more than 13 litres per 100km around town and 7.6 on a
motorway dash. Off road, the SUV takes advantage of Jeep’s Quadra-Trac 2 Active 4x4 System with Selec-Terrain, low-range transfer case and Quadra Lift air suspension. For an extra $2750 the Off Road Group adds 230 mm rear axle, electronic limited-slip differential, Trail Rated badge, 265/60 R18 Goodyear all-terrain tyres, 18-inch polished/ painted alloy wheels, fuel tank/transfer case / front suspension skid plate, which is good enough to earn the company’s trail rating won over the Rubicon Trail in Nevada, one of the most testing off-road challenges in the US. SUMMARY The new Grand Cherokee Overland won’t be every rusted-on Jeep fan’s favourite, but could attract the attention of a more discerning soft-road adventurer.

week for Weather threat to finals Crazy great fishing LOCAL TENNIS
Donna Schoenmaekers Early morning rain threatened to spoil semi-final day for Tennis Geelong’s Midweek Women’s competition on Tuesday, but by start time the dark clouds had cleared and allowed play to commence. Section 6 saw St Mary’s upset St Stephen’s four sets to two in the elimination final. St Stephen’s only missed out on a second chance by percentage, and will have to wait until next year for another crack at the title. Minor premiers Western Heights Uniting had a tough day against Grovedale in the first-semi. The home team slugged out 6-4, 7-5 wins in the first two sets, but the final four sets were split, giving them a 4-2 win, but with three of these sets decided 6-4 or 7-5, it was well earned. The closest match of the day was the first-semi in Section 5 between Surfcoast Bellbrae and Drysdale, although it didn’t start that way when Juc, through some great rallying, won through in the first three sets. Drysdale were not to be discounted however, winning the remaining three sets, including a tie-break in the sixth to leave the teams drawn on sets and games. Gayle Roche and Bronwyn O’Sullivan for
Juc then faced off against Drysdale’s Helen Glavocih and Megan Koolen for direct entry into the grand final. Juc proved too good in the end taking the decider 6-0, but Drysdale will have a chance to force a rematch if they can take the win over Grovedale, who had the best win of the day going up four sets to one against St Stephens, putting them in an unbeatable position. After each team posted a 5-1 win against the other during home and away, it was anyone’s guess how the second-semi in Section 4 was going to go. Eastern Districts were only two games ahead after the first two sets, and then Barwon Heads took it back to one going into the final two. Barwon Heads went ahead winning the fifth 6-2, and while Districts took the last, with the result at 7-5, Barwon Heads finished ahead by one game, going into the preliminary final against Ocean Grove. Ocean Grove had a slow start against ladder leaders Surfcoast Torquay Yellow in the first-semi with Torquay taking the first two sets before the teams traded set for set, leaving the Grove to front up next week. Torquay gets a rest before grand final day. It was a day for the home teams in Section 3 with minor premiers Highton Blue getting up in the first-semi 4-2 over Surfcoast Torquay
Black while Mount Moriac drew on sets with Wandana Heights, but held a four-game lead keeping them alive to face Torquay Black in the prelim. Section 2 was a day for the visitors, although only just with both matches tied on sets and decided on games. Grovedale were even with Winchelsea after the first two sets before going ahead three sets to one with two sets to play. Winchelsea fought back taking the final two sets, but couldn’t make up the game difference with Grovedale finishing three games ahead. Winch will face Ocean Grove in the prelim after defeating Point Lonsdale in the second-semi. The teams split the first two sets before Lonny pulled ahead three sets to one with a slim two-game advantage and two sets to play. Ocean Grove kicked into gear taking the final two sets 6-3 and 6-2 to level the teams on sets with the Grove ahead by five games. Surfcoast Torquay battled strong southerly winds as well as Ocean Grove in Section 1’s second-semi. The teams went set for set through the day with Torquay eventually winning by three games tied on sets. Torquay will meet Geelong Lawn Pink in the prelim after they went down to Surfcoast Bellbrae two sets to four in the first-semi.

Prespakis, McDonald star for Cats By AAP Geelong put an end to Richmond’s AFLW finals hopes with a 38-point win at Ikon Park. Saturday night’s match was effectively an elimination final given both sides entered with 4-4 records. But it was one-way traffic from the outset, with the Tigers’ only goal of the match coming in the dying minutes as the Cats went on to win 6.13 (49) to 1.5 (11). Richmond’s fourth loss from its past five games means it is now a win and 15 percentage points adrift of eighth spot with just one round remaining. Geelong (5-4) can secure a finals berth if it beats 14th-placed Hawthorn next week. Cats midfielder Georgie Prespakis starred against Richmond with 27 disposals, nine clearances and a goal, while Amy McDonald finished with 22 possessions and 475m gained. Monique Conti was Richmond’s best with 31 disposals and six clearances, but the Tigers’ midfield was totally outclassed by the Cats’, who won the inside 50m count 50-19. Geelong registered the opening 10 inside 50s of the match, and goals from free kicks to Chloe Scheer and Prespakis gave them a 12-point lead at quarter time. 34 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 3 November, 2023
The Cats continued to dominate possession in the second term, but their wasteful return of 0.6 from 16 inside 50s meant the margin was just 17 points at the long break. Richmond went inside 50m just four times in the opening half for a return of three behinds. Scheer took a mark of the year contender in the second term when she flew above Beth Lynch to take a spectacular grab. Richmond big Gabby Seymour spent most of the first half receiving treatment for an ankle injury, but she bravely played on with the injury. Geelong’s three behinds were the only scores of a dour third term, but the floodgates finally opened in the final quarter as Julia Crockett-Grills, Renee Garing, Aishling Moloney, and Parry all registered goals. “It’s so frustrating,” Prespakis told the Seven Network of the wasted opportunities during the second and third quarters. “The good thing about it was we were getting opportunities. We had a lot of it in our front half and our inside 50s were through the roof. “It was nice to get some execution. We had 19 scoring shots, so it would have been nice to get some more goals. “Our defence is an absolute rock. They did
really well.” MEANWHILE the Cats will wear a Pride guernsey this weekend against Hawthorn at GMHBA Stadium as a part of AFLW Pride Round. Also worn in AFLW Season 8, the original design was developed in consultation with the club’s Pride Supporter group representatives and AFLW Pride ambassadors led by the club’s Inclusion and Diversity team. With a number of versions developed, the final design was selected with a focus of the belnded rainbow flag wrapping around the body in a symbolic gesture of support, representation and embrace. The words ‘We are Football’ are also included to demonstrate that everyone is welcome and included in the game, also leaning on the ‘She is Football’ working – regardless of your gender identity or sexual orientation. The club also consulted with experts within the field including Proud 2 Play and Deakin University to confirm the appropriate wording and the Pride Progress flag is important to ensure representation greater than the ribbon. The Progress flag has also been included on the back to ensure the guernsey represents the trans and gender diverse communities.
ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos Well, this week has been a crazy week for fishing with the Geelong inner harbour fishing as good as we have ever seen it. The fishing off Wangim Walk has been nothing short of spectacular with snapper holding in large school and in a super aggressive feeding mood. Anglers casting soft plastics off the walk have been having great success in landing lots of fish ranging between 2kg and 4kg with plenty coming along over 6kg. Some of the better soft plastics have been mainly by Gulp with shapes like turtleback worms, nemesis, minnow and jerkshads all accounting for plenty of fish. Anglers fishing from boats just out of range of the landbased anglers have also been getting into the action landing similar size fish. Again soft plastics and bait have been getting the job done. The outer harbour is starting to really ramp up the snapper reports with fish being caught from all parts. The bend of the channel is a yearly hotspot and is proving to be one this year again as expected. Anglers fishing of an evening or a tide change have been landing fish with some getting up over 7kg, baits like silver whiting, squid and snapper have all been working well. Soft plastics again are well worth throwing around the burley trail, 4-5 inch baitfish profile plastics work best for this work. Out towards St Leonards there has been some fantastic squid fishing on offer with anglers finding large numbers of calamari hanging around and some good sized ones mixed throughout. Casting size 3.0 and 3.5 jigs have been doing all the damage however throwing around a size 4.0 jig which we all know SLAMS big squid is well worth having a crack at the moment. Offshore has started to see much better and more consistent snapper fishing with Gone Fishing Charters right on the money. Chris and his fearless crew have been getting clients onto some nice snapper over the past week with the 55 metre line proving to be a popular area to have a suss. Customers of the store have also been having a crack at the action, landing some impressive fish themselves. Fish to about 5kg are on offer with paternoster rigs baited with pilchard or squid getting them unstuck.

Consecutive wins for Coutas By Justin Flynn Queenscliff has resurrected its Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association A1 Grade season with a second consecutive win. After starting the new season with two bad losses, the Coutas have strung two good performances together with wins against Jan Juc and then Inverleigh on Saturday to sit in fifth spot on the ladder. Queenscliff won the toss at Inverleigh and put together a commanding total of 4/188 from 40 overs. Hayden Illingworth top scored with an unbeaten 71 from 105 deliveries, Max Potter made a breezy 47 from 44 that included five sixes at the top of the order and Kane Leathem put the finishing touches on the innings with 44 not out
from 42 balls. Lachie Platt picked up two wickets for Inverleigh while Murphy Walker kept the brakes on the Coutas’ innings with 1/29 from eight tidy overs. Inverleigh made a good fist of the run chase, but fell 20 runs short through no fault of Kobe George, who made a polished 76 from 102 balls that included 10 boundaries. Tony Hanafin, Jordan Monahan and Pat Mileto all picked up a couple of wickets for Queenscliff. BARRABOOL inflicted Barwon Heads’ first loss with a six-run win at Ceres. Brydon Barnett (38) top scored for the Bulls although a final total of 9/140 probably didn’t seem enough against the strong Heads’ batting line up.
Darcy Hewitt and Sam Schaller each grabbed three wickets for the Seagulls. The Heads’ innings never really got going and with James Jirik (4/20) and Brad Greenwood (2/24) bowling well, Barrabool got home. ANGLESEA is the only unbeaten side after defeating Ocean Grove by 35 runs at Ray Menzies Oval. A punishing 88 from only 78 balls from stalwart Brett Venables and unimportant 50 from 78 by Simon Umbers got the Seas to a total of 5/202 from 40 overs. Seamer Michael Thornton was again Ocean Grove’s best bowler with 2/21 from eight tidy overs. Several Grubbers batters got starts in the run chase, including Paul Jubber and Shaun Fankhauser, who both made 37, but when
the overs ran out, they were 35 runs adrift of their second win for the season. ARMSTRONG Creek sits second on the ladder after defeating Jan Juc. Jan Juc batted first at home, but could only make 124 all out with Fraser Clatworthy (31) top scoring. All the Titans’ bowlers had success with Jack Maclean (3/26), Lachlan Mulgrew (2/19) and Clay Mulgrew (2/22) striking more than once. Armstrong Creek then knocked off the required total with seven wickets and eight overs in hand thanks to contributions from openers Clay Mulgrew (37) and Chris Marsiglio (35). Henry Harris took all three wickets to fall for the Sharks, who are still searching for their first win.

Run spree sees Swans down Tigers By Justin Flynn More than 550 runs were belted at South Barwon Reserve on Saturday as South Barwon skipper Nick Butters and Grovedale opener Jake Alsop blasted centuries in a high-scoring match between of the Geelong Cricket Association’s best teams. Alsop was unbeaten on 134 and batted the entirety of Grovedale’s innings, facing 146 deliveries and hitting 13 boundaries and three sixes. The Tigers’ 4/271 looked like a match-winning total with Rob Smith (54) sharing a 107-run opening stand with Alsop. In what was a tough day for the bowlers, Butters showed signs of what was to come with his 10 overs yielding just 28 runs and Bradley Hauenstein taking 1/31 from his 10. South Barwon lost two quick wickets when it came time to take to the crease, but Butters and Nathan Pearson (44) steered the innings back on track. Jasper George then entered the fray and lifted the run rate with 52 from 32 balls and Sam Ellis hit an unbeaten 29 from 24. But it was Butters who stole the show with a masterful 112 from only 90 balls that included eight sixes. Jack Wrigglesworth starred for Grovedale with 4/29 from 10 overs and Clinton Ford was miserly with 1/25 from nine, but South Barwon got home with three wickets and nine deliveries in hand. ST JOSEPH’S won another high-scoring encounter, defeating Lara. Daniel Weigl top scored with a nice 43 from 48 in Lara’s score of 201. Brandon Purcell and Callum Leese each claimed three wickets for Joeys. St Joseph’s had some anxious moments during its run chase, but a run-a-ball 73 from Callum Leese and an unbeaten 53 from skipper Andrew Hodgson saw St Joseph’s home with four wickets and 20 balls to spare. FIVE Highton batters made at least 24, but failed to get past 37 as East Belmont claimed
Ocean Grove has opened its Geelong Bowls Region Premier Division premiership defence in style. The Grovers enjoyed an 83 to 32 win against Bell Post Hill at home to suggest they will be thereabouts at the business end of the season again. The revamped eight-team Premier Division got underway on Saturday October 28 and Ocean Grove was well led by Matt Flapper, who skipped his rink to a 31-10 win, Peter Loe (28-6) and Brad Pavey (24-16). Highton defeated Eastern Park in the closest match of the round. Highton won all three rinks with David Priddle (20-15), Dan Priddle (21-20) and Scott McLachlan (25-20) all skipping their rinks to victories and an overall result 61 to 50. City of Geelong got off to a winning start with a 65 to 50 win at home against Queenscliff. Nicholas Craven had a 23 to 12 win and Lee Greening won 24 to 16 while Benjamin Russell pulled one back for Queenscliff, winning 22 to 18. Bareena proved too good for Drysdale with a 76 to 48 triumph away from home. Chris Richardson got home by the barest of margins over Mark Godbolt while John Shell and Karl Weil made sure Bareena took all 16 points from the game. This week Bareena hosts Eastern Park while Bell Post Hill entertains Drysdale. Ocean Grove makes the short trip to Queenscliff and City of Geelong does likewise to Highton.

victory at McDonald Reserve. Highton was all out for 172 in the 49th over with four of the top five batters scoring between 24 and 37. It was only tailender and skipper Nathan McCoach who had excuses for not converting with a breezy 30 off 33 balls. Dylan Moroney grabbed three wickets for East Belmont, which faced a tricky run chase and at 8/93 things looked dire. But Moroney (39 not out), batting at No 10, joined opener Danny Hegarty (84 not out) at the crease and resurrected the innings with an unbroken 80-run ninth-wicket stand to win
the game with eight balls remaining. Errol Burns was Highton’s best bowler with 3/28 from 10 economical overs. NORTH GEELONG defeated a gallant Newtown & Chilwell. Lower order knocks from Mitchell Troy (47 from 51 balls) and Alistair McCann (44 from 43) helped North Geelong to 9/227 after being 7/118 at one stage. Sam Mitchell played well for the Two Blues with a nice little 59, but Thomas Webster (3/33), McCann (2/25) and Andrew Fergusson (2/28) did enough with the pill to get the Magpies home by 45 runs.
