Cancer won’t throw John Barwon Heads’ John White started a winery business following his second diagnosis of NeuroEndocrine Tumour (NET) cancer. The 54-year-old first found out that he had a NET in September 2020, which led to him having surgery to remove a 50-millimetre-diameter mass between his small and large intestines. His second tumour was discovered close to 50 centimetres away from the original one in 2022 and inspired John to quit his corporate job and purchase a vineyard in Portarlington. John was declared cancer-free in April this year and is helping raise awareness for NET cancer, which doctors often misdiagnose. Friday, November 10, is NET Cancer Day to help inform more people about the cancer, its symptoms and how it’s diagnosed. ■ John’s cancer journey is continued on Page 14

Counting on big change By Matt Hewson Victoria’s new can and bottle recycling scheme launched successfully last week, with Geelong collection sites processing almost 100,000 containers on day one. The Geelong launch of the Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) was held at the North Geelong CDS Vic Depot Bell Park, which is operated by social enterprise Recycle4Change. The CDS rewards Victorians with a 10-cent refund for every eligible can, bottle and container returned. The North Geelong depot itself processed almost 40,000 containers on day one, which operators said demonstrated the “amazing support and generosity” of
the Geelong community. The TOMRA Cleanaway partnership is overseeing the scheme in the western zone of Victoria, and chief executive James Dorney said he saw an “enormous uptake” of the CDS throughout western Victoria in general and Geelong specifically. “Across the (western zone) of the state, we saw very high levels of usership from citizens accessing these container return points and immediately participating in this scheme from day one,” Mr Dorney said. “At ‘go live’ we had around 17 sites across Greater Geelong in this LGA and those sites will continue to grow. And into the future, as the scheme matures, we expect to have a minimum of 22 sites in the Geelong LGA.
“This will be a mix of depots…reverse vending machine kiosks and stand alone kiosks, giving the citizens of Geelong an excellent opportunity to participate as we really focus our network around convenience, accessibility and ease of use so that people can contribute and be a part of this scheme and the great benefits that it drives.” Operator Recycle4Change is one arm of the Chance Creators group, an organisation that also runs social enterprise Fruit2Work in Melbourne and Geelong. Chance Creators chief Rob Brown said partnering with TOMRA Cleanaway to deliver CDS services was providing worthwhile employment for people impacted by the justice system.
“Chance Creators has enthusiastically joined TOMRA Cleanaway as a partner through our Recycle4Change company to deliver two bulk container collection depots in the west zone for CDS Vic,” said Mr Brown. “More importantly, we have been able to employ 12 people that have been impacted through the judicial system, delivering meaningful employment, connection, and support. “This employment and connection also serves the community through eliminating re-offending; none of our employees have returned to prison, and reducing the financial burden on taxpayers.” Visit cdsvic.org.au/locations to find a list of collection points near you.

Kids can drop a line this summer Herne Hill Primary School has received one of the first rounds of rollouts from the state government’s Little Anglers program. Premier Jacinta Allan visited the Hamlyn Heights school on Friday, November 3, to deliver some of the first 95,000 free Little Angler Kits to Grade Five students. Ms Allan said it was great to visit the school to deliver the kits, which featured all the fishing essentials and information. “Right across the state there are many
inland waterways, lakes and rivers alongside the ocean where people can go drop in a line, and enjoy the outdoors with family and friends,” she said. “This is not just to encourage young kids to go and try fishing. It’s making it affordable and accessible for families across the state to get into the joy of doing a spot of fishing. “With all the essentials included, the kits will encourage more than 100,000 youngsters to get to the water to practice with family and friends. “It’s about supporting more young people
and more families across the state to get into our fabulous great outdoors and enjoy a spot of fishing, which is a fabulous outdoor recreation activity.” Ms Allan said the kits were being rolled out to Grade Five students across state, government and non-government schools and all students in special development schools. “Grade fives are at an age where they’re pretty independent of thought and they know what they want to do and achieve,” she said. “There is a wonderful blessing of choices
DeeDee’s Salty win
Feed Geelong raises $90,000
By Jena Carr A Torquay College student won the People’s Choice Award in the 2024 Surf Coast Shire Community Arts Calendar competition. DeeDee’s mixed media piece, ‘Salty’, received attention and most of the votes from the Surf Coast community, leading to the nine-year-old being the competition’s thirteenth winner. Salty will be featured on the cover of the 2024 Surf Coast Shire Community Arts Calendar alongside 12 earlier winners selected by a judging panel at the calendar’s exhibition launch on October 13. DeeDee said she was “very surprised” to win the People’s Choice award and that her artwork was made with acrylic paint, food colouring and saltwater. “I used food colouring to draw the waves in the back and then put salt over the top,” she said. “I also used sponges to make the texture on the fish. We dipped half the sponge in white paint and half the sponge in another colour and then we printed the paper and cut the fish out of it.” Surf Coast Shire councillor Gary Allen said DeeDee’s artwork, where she used sea salt and sponges to create texture, was a perfect choice for the 2024 calendar’s cover. “The artwork is beautiful, and so colourful. For someone in grade three I have no doubt, there are many more artworks in DeeDee’s future,” he said. “All of the pieces entered this year show the diversity found in the Surf Coast, and every year I love seeing how artists capture and express the theme.” Fifty-five artists entered the calendar competition across Child, Youth, 2D and 3D categories. More information on the competition’s winners is available on the Surf Coast Shire’s website.

Geelong dug deep to help combat food insecurity this October, donating nearly $90,000 to the 2023 Feed Geelong Appeal. The appeal, run annually by the Give Where You Live Foundation, helps provide access to food for those in need. Give Where You Live chief executive Bill Mithen said he was humbled by the generosity of the Geelong community. “Thank you to everyone who supported the 2023 Feed Geelong Appeal,” Mr. Mithen said. “We’re excited to announce it raised almost $90,000 to provide much needed support to food relief agencies across the region. “We know there are people in our community who are putting food last, and often it’s the thing they are going without more than anything else. “The funds raised will stay in the Geelong community to support families and individuals who need help to put food on the table for their family.” Mr Mithen said the demand for food relief services in the region had “surged”, and was expected to continue rising. “Each week food relief agencies in our region are providing over 34,293 meals and distributing almost 22,930kg of food to clients,” he said.

New research on asthma triggers By Matt Hewson A Deakin University team has released a new report investigating the devastating epidemic thunderstorm asthma (ETSA) event in Melbourne in 2016 that caused thousands of people respiratory distress and ultimately cost 10 lives. The report, titled The Perfect Storm, comes ahead of a summer researchers anticipate to be hot and unsettled, and makes key recommendations on how to mitigate the effects of an event such as that in 2016. Those recommendations include expanding the focus of current pollen monitoring measures and optimising ETSA forecasting to better predict future events.
Deakin AIRwatch, based at the Waurn Ponds Burwood campuses, was established in 2012 to count and forecast pollen levels for use by Deakin staff and students and the general public. AIRwatch head, Associate Professor Cenk Suphioglu, said an urgent review of pollen monitoring methods was the first step in avoiding a repeat of the outcomes in 2016. “Our researchers took the data from the 2016 ETSA and, using a three-hourly time-resolved temporal, immediately noted that the standard 24-hour data must be improved to include real-time pollen counts, preferably in ten-minute increments, so the public can be updated and warned throughout this type of weather,” Associate Professor Suphioglu said.
“The storm outflow in 2016 only lasted around 12 minutes but sadly, ten people lost their lives. “After this event there was a heightened awareness about the phenomena of thunderstorm asthma, but ultimately, that was too late for those who died.” Associate Professor Suphioglu said ruptured grass pollen grains had increased 250 per cent when the thunderstorm outflow reached Burwood in 2016. “The high ozone levels observed six hours prior to this ETSA event may be a critical early indicator of impending ETSA events, since high ozone levels have been linked to increasing pollen allergen content and reducing pollen integrity, which may in turn contribute to
enhanced pollen rupture,” he said. Using the findings to improve pollen counting methods would allow authorities to provide crucial information to the community earlier in the future, he said. “Common symptoms of thunderstorm asthma are wheezing, shortness in breath, chest tightness and persistent coughing,” Associate Professor Suphioglu said. “Therefore, if you wheeze and sneeze during grass pollen seasons, you are an ideal candidate and at a potentially life-threatening risk for thunderstorm asthma. “An asthma assessment and, if necessary, the implementation of an Asthma Action Plan is vital for the safe and effective management of thunderstorm asthma symptoms.”

John Bartlett’s eleventh book features a collection of poetry. (Ivan Kemp) 371363_05
12641870-SN43-23
A Torquay writer will launch his 11th book this month, which comes straight out of lockdown with the theme of connection. John Bartlett will talk about his latest poetry collection, Excitations of Entanglement, with prize-winning author Julie Maclean at 2pm on November 18 at the Torquay Library. Mr Bartlett said the collection was his second book of poetry, which took three years to write from the beginning of the COVID lockdown and a year to publish. “Poetry really is in the realm of the unconscious, and any sort of creative stuff comes out of that area,” he said. “I’m inspired by poets all the time because I don’t think you can write as a poet unless you
read, so I’m reading constantly.” Mr Bartlett said he felt the book’s title was a “perfect metaphor” for COVID and lockdowns and that it came from a nuclear physics term that explains how photons interact with each other. “Whatever they do, they’re connected all the time. Even if they’re a distance apart, they’re connected, or if they’re together for a brief time they’re connected and then they fly away,” he said. “When we were locked down, away from each other, or we were briefly in contact or we weren’t connected, but we were at a distance but still connected.” To attend Mr Bartlett’s book launch, people must RSVP to johnbartlett179@gmail by November 11.

Newlywed father fatally stabbed By Emily Woods, AAP Weeks after marrying her soul mate, Grace Wilson received a phone call that changed her life forever. “The man I married nine weeks ago was stabbed, that’s a phone call no wife wants to receive,” she said, in a statement read by her mother Barbara, to the Supreme Court on Monday. “We were on such a high from getting married and that all came crashing down.” Ms Wilson, 25, was left a single mother when her husband Dylan Bond, 26, was murdered
and his brother Heath seriously injured in Geelong in April 2021. After a 12-day trial in October, a jury found Feetham guilty of murder and intentionally causing serious injury. He faced a pre-sentence hearing on Monday, where more than a dozen emotional statements from Dylan’s family and friends were read out. Feetham repeatedly stabbed Dylan and Heath during a brawl at his girlfriend’s Geelong home, amid a romantic dispute. Heath’s fiancee, Abbey Sexton, had an affair with Feetham and the pair began a relationship after she had broken up with him.
About two weeks after the break-up, Feetham and Ms Sexton were out when Heath caught wind his ex was nearby and met up with her. Feetham interrupted their conversation and the men started fighting. After the brawl, messages were exchanged on Facebook between Feetham and Heath’s older brother Dylan, who said “let’s sort it” and arranged to go to Ms Sexton’s house. On April 26, 2021, Heath walked around the side of the house and yelled out “Ash”, opening the sliding door. Feetham ran towards Heath and stabbed him with a large kitchen knife, before Dylan
jumped in and tried to restrain Feetham. But Feetham then turned on Dylan, stabbing him multiple times including a large fatal wound to his chest. Feetham fled with his sister, after she hit the wounded Bond brothers with a metal rake, and Feetham’s mother drove him to hospital. Dylan died at the scene and Heath, who lost 1.5 litres of blood, survived after undergoing emergency surgery and spending days in intensive care. Feetham claims he picked up a knife and stabbed the brothers out of “excessive self-defence”.

Five arrested over car break-ins Five people have been arrested following car break-ins and thefts across Geelong and the Surf Coast over the past month. Detectives from Geelong’s Divisional Response Unit and Crime Investigation Unit swarmed properties across the Greater Geelong region this week during an ongoing operation. Detectives executed a warrant at a Norlane property on Monday, October 30, after 15 cars were broken into across Torquay, Anglesea, and Ocean Grove between October 19 and 27. Two Norlane women have been bailed to appear before the Geelong Magistrates Court at a later date following the operation’s arrests. A 22-year-old was charged with 22 counts
of theft from a motor vehicle, two counts of obtaining property by deception, criminal damage and multiple bail offences. A 28-year-old was charged with 10 offences of aggravated burglary, two counts of motor vehicle theft, dangerous driving, drug possession and multiple bail offences. With the assistance of Air Wing, police also recovered four stolen vehicles and arrested three men who were arrested and remanded to appear before the Geelong Magistrates Court in November. A Corio man, 20, was charged with 19 offences with two counts of aggravated burglary, four counts of motor vehicle theft, driving disqualified and in a dangerous
manner, and multiple bail offences. A 29-year-old Corio man was charged with nine offences, including aggravated burglary, two counts of theft of motor vehicle and multiple bail offences. Detectives also executed a search warrant at a Lara address, where they recovered a camper trailer and a black Ford Ranger, allegedly stolen earlier this year. A 40-year-old Lara man was arrested and charged with theft of motor vehicle. He was remanded to appear at Geelong Magistrates Court today. Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Gavin Mullins said police maintained a “zero-tolerance approach” towards people
looking to commit a crime. “We are fully aware that stolen vehicles often lead to further criminal activities, which have absolutely no place in our community,” he said. “While police are doing everything possible, we urge the community to ensure they secure their property and vehicles at all times. “Police will continue to relentlessly target criminal behaviour in our community and ensure those responsible are brought before the courts.” Police also allege that two motor vehicles were stolen during an aggravated burglary in Newtown on Wednesday, November 1, in a separate incident.
Taking action against cockatoos By Jena Carr Operation Lockatoo is coming to the Surf Coast to stop wild cockatoos from ransacking residential bins and spreading litter. A lock-fitting program will be placed on Surf Coast bins in November to reduce the amount of rubbish being distributed by birds or blown around by wind from local bins. LitterLock creator Colin Cox, from Torquay, said he was proud to have his design selected by the council to combat the amount of rubbish found in the Surf Coast. “To have LitterLock picked up down in Lorne and to know that it’s going to make a difference and reduce litter down there, I’m really proud,” he said. “There’s a little mount on the side of the bin at the top, and it’s on a little hinge where the top part clips over the lid.
“It’s interactive with the garbage truck, so when the truck collects and squeezes the bin with the mechanism release, it releases the latch at the top. “It’s estimated that 25 per cent of litter in Australia escapes from residential bins. That’s approximately 35,000 tons of rubbish every year. “We’re really rapped that the Surf Coast has come out and chosen it and given some great feedback and...we’ve been in in trial with them since December 2022.” During the last two years, the lock-fitting program followed trials of nine different bin modifications and locking mechanisms fitted to 500 kerbside bins across Lorne.

By Cr Trent Sullivan Christmas is not just a one-day event. The build-up is arguably more exciting, as the anticipation of what is to come grows. Socially, we’re never busier as we catch up with loved ones and reflect on all that has occurred during the year. Through our fantastic Christmas in Geelong program, there is a lot of places for the Geelong community to gather and a host of events it can share in. The activities – attended by our residents and visitors from outside the region - also generated a welcome addition to Geelong’s economy. Last year, it was estimated that the Christmas in Geelong program injected more than $15.7 million into our economy. Because of these social and economic benefits – and recognising that not everyone travels into central Geelong - Council is providing Christmas-themed activities right across the region. From Lara to St Leonards, and Waurn Ponds to Whittington, there are displays, attractions and events being held in our local areas. The eight-week extravaganza kicks off Saturday, with the lighting of the iconic Floating Christmas Tree. Roving performers will be on the Waterfront from 5.30pm Saturday, with a two-hour stage show beginning at 7pm, before the tree is lit for the first time at 9pm. The tree’s daily sound and light shows – including four family-friendly daylight shows during December – will entertain visitors until January 7. The Floating Christmas Tree is the centrepiece of our program, but there is a great mix of traditional favourites and new additions. A host of other family festivities are

Critical Optus outage hits council, hospitals

Major telecommunications provider Optus suffered a significant outage on Wednesday November 8, affecting thousands of customers and businesses across the Greater Geelong region, including the council and Barwon Health. Reports of the outage emerged around 4am Wednesday morning, with the telco issuing statements this morning via X, formerly Twitter. The cause of the outage is still unknown, with Optus stating in a 6.47am tweet it was “aware of an issue impacting Optus mobile and nbn services” and was “working to restore services as quickly as possible”. “We understand connectivity is important and apologise for any inconvenience caused,” the statement read. Optus released another update around 8.30am. “Our teams are working urgently to restore services,” it said. “We will provide updates as soon as possible. We apologise sincerely to our customers.” Barwon Health reported just before 9am phones across the organisation were down. “This is affecting mobiles and landlines. More information will be provided once further updates are known,” the statement said. The City of Greater Geelong has also had its phone lines affected, but assured residents “alternative methods are available to ensure uninterrupted access to essential services and information”. “We encourage residents and visitors to utilise our web form enquiries as an alternative means of getting in touch with us,” a spokesperson said.
“Our website features user-friendly web forms that allow you to submit inquiries, reports, or requests for services. “The City’s public Wi-Fi network is functioning without any issues. You can connect to the internet and access important information or communicate with the council through this network.” Federal Communications Minister Michelle Rowland urged Optus to communicate with its customers by whatever means possible to keep them updated. “Connectivity is essential for Australian consumers and businesses. The impacts of this outage are concerning and has left many Australians feeling anxious,” Ms Rowland said. “The government has sought further information from Optus about this development and when they expect services will be restored.” Optus services came back online throughout the afternoon, with the network fully restored by Wednesday evening. The federal government has announced an investigation into the incident.

New spring festival pips them all Geelong’s newest festival launches its inaugural event next weekend when the Strawberry and Cherry Spring Festival comes to Beckley Park. Running from 5pm on Friday, November 17 till 4pm Sunday, November 19, the Spring Festival will feature local produce, gardening and sustainability workshops, market stalls, live music, carnival amusements and an animal farm for the kids. Festival organisers have also partnered with
motorcycle apparel company Chopped and Bobbed and Complete Health Geelong to serve as the end location of the second Men’s Mental Health Ride. Leaving Werribee at 9.30am, around 700 motorcycles are expected to roll into Beckley Park at around 10am, setting up for a bike show section after arrival. Festival organiser Felicity Ashman said the festival, which had been a popular annual event at Bacchus Marsh for some years, was
about bringing the community together. “The exciting thing for us is that not only have we been able to utilise Beckley Park, but around 40 per cent of our stall holders are Geelong-based, around 60 per cent of our entertainers are locals, and the carnival operator is also Geelong-based,” she said. “What we’re trying to do is create community and create activities that are involving the communities where we work.”
Ms Ashman said although the festival was a ticketed event it would not interfere with the regular Saturday market, which the public could still access free of charge. “We can’t really split the stallholders into two sections, that doesn’t quite work, so we will have an expanded market of around 50 to 60 stallholders,” she said. Visit springfestival.com.au for more information.
Christmas celebrations launched in Geelong Geelong’s Christmas celebrations kick off this weekend, with the free opening night event on the Waterfront this Saturday night (November 11). The lighting of the much-loved floating Christmas tree, a live performance by Stellar Perry and a pyrotechnic display are some of the features of the Christmas in Geelong 2023 program launch at Steampacket Quay. Headline act Ms Perry will be joined by a lineup of artists including Kim Cooper, Denis Walter, Zoe Walter, Thomas Currie and opening act the Geelong Schools Big Band from 7pm, while roving performers will entertain the crowds from 5.30pm. At 9pm one of the 12 finalists of the Flick the Switch with Santa competition will be drawn to help Santa ignite the 25-metre floating Christmas tree in Corio Bay, which will light up every night until early January. Food vans will be at the event, with many local restaurants also open along Eastern Beach Road.

Married couple live a love story By Matt Hewson Real-life husband and wife duo Mark and Joanne Caligiuri bring their renowned Johnny Cash and June Carter show to Geelong this month. The two met in 2005 at one of Mark’s Elvis tribute shows when Joanne and her sister volunteered to get onstage and dance as part of the performance. Soon after, the pair were dating, and shortly after they saw the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line together Joanne’s suggested they do a Johnny and June tribute together. “Jo introduced me to Johnny Cash music, as I wasn’t very familiar with it,” Mark said. “She showed me some of his music after going to see the movie… I loved it straight away and when she said we should create a show I was excited about it.” They began working on the show straight away, and in 2007 began performing as country music’s most beloved couple. When

the pandemic struck in 2020 the Caligiuri’s expanded the show further, bringing in Mark’s sons Lucas (drums) and Chris (double bass) and cousin Adam Prozzo (lead guitar). “During lockdown I said to Mark I really
wanted to focus on this show more, make it bigger,” Joanne said. “All of a sudden, out of nowhere Mark’s boys contacted us and said, hey, we would love to join in. It was a beautiful surprise. We started
getting together as a family, that was our thing every week, and even now we get together weekly, have lunch and play music. “And just recently we’ve added a couple of trumpet players and another guitarist. It’s amazing to see how quickly it’s grown in a short time.” Joanne said the couple’s real-life romance lended an extra dimension to their Cash and Carter show. “Being a married couple, we absolutely love the chance to be up on stage and be connected and play on these characters,” she said. “A lot of the feedback we get is that the audience gets to see an authentic show; it’s very real, very sincere. “Also, we focus more on the earlier Cash (material), so it’s very energetic, it’s a lot of fun. We try to make people feel better, uplifted; that’s our goal, to make people feel good.” Get Rhythm: The Johnny Cash and June Carter Show is at Palais Geelong on Saturday, November 18.
An afternoon of classics in setting of elegance By Matt Hewson Classical music fans have the opportunity to enjoy world-class entertainment in a historic setting when the renowned Melbourne-based Team of Pianists hosts a special event at Barwon Park. Team of Pianists partner Darryl Coote will be joined by Orchestra Victoria principal flute Lisa-Maree Amos and international operatic tenor Michael Petruccelli to present their programme Britten and Bonis at Barwon Park. The concert will feature Benjamin Britten’s
Winter Words, an eight-song cycle set to some of the last poems written by Thomas Hardy, and a selection of flute repertoire including the works of Mel Bonis, Francis Poulenc and Franz Schubert. The event will also include a viewing of the mansion and a country-style afternoon tea with the musicians following their performance. Team of Pianists, established in the 1980s by the late Max Cooke OAM, consists of three former students of Cooke - Coote, Robert Chamberlain and Rohan Murray - and focuses on presenting chamber music with piano.
Coote said the Team liked to perform in venues that were “suited to the kind of music we play”. “We like to do things in smaller, more intimate venues, especially historic venues, that sometimes relate to the kind of music being performed, which also allow the audience a little bit of a closer connection with the music,” he said. “Michael is really a fine person and a fine musician, and Lisa-Marie is certainly a brilliant flautist and a very communicative personality too.
He said the recital would give the audience a chance to here “some unusual but accessible repertoire”. “We think it’s going to be a great day out,” Coote said. “The audience can travel to see a colonial bluestone mansion in all of its grandeur and elegance but also experience the music. It makes for quite an afternoon’s experience.” Team of Pianists presents Britten and Bonis at Barwon Park, Winchelsea on Sunday, November 19 at 2pm.

Arnhem Land’s art with purpose Platform Arts will host an exhibition featuring the work of Yolngu artists from Arnhem Land, with two of the artists themselves travelling down to Geelong for the opening event. Bula’bula Arts Centre in Ramingining, Northern Territory, will bring Barrku Wanga (going to a faraway place), an exhibition dedicated specifically to Geelong, to Platform Arts from November 18 to December 15. The exhibition will include the paintings and weavings of 18 artists that interpret the stories of Yolngu cultural lore and explore social structures such as Yolngu language, ceremonies, songs and identity. Artist and chair of Bula’bula Arts Andrew Wanamilil Malibirr, artist Steve Wanamilil Malibirr, and Bula’bula Arts executive director Mel George will be at Platform Arts for the exhibition launch on November 18, with the artists demonstrating the artistic techniques used by the Yolngu people. Ms George said Bula’bula Arts had jumped at the opportunity to bring Barrku Wanga to Geelong.
“Coming from remote Ramingining, we’re so far away, and our town has only 700 people,” she said. “Yolngu people have few opportunities to travel, and when they do, it’s often to major cities, which can be overwhelming. “We’ve found regional parts of Australia excel at hosting meaningful connections, and any time we can connect Yolngu people with other mob across Australia is to help them share their unique culture and stories of their country. “It’s exciting to bring people from Arnhem Land to Geelong; we know the local audience will enjoy connecting to these ancient stories through the medium of visual arts.” Barrku Wanga evolved in partnership with Platform Arts and is supported by the Northern Territory government, the federal government’s Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support program, Creative Victoria, and the City of Greater Geelong.

FRIDAY FEATURE GEELONGINDY.COM.AU
From corporate to wine One Australian is diagnosed with a NeuroEndocrine Tumour (NET) every 90 minutes, with 50 per cent of patients misdiagnosed, according to NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia (NECA). For NET Cancer Day, November 10, Jena Carr spoke to Barwon Heads winemaker John White, 54, about his cancer diagnosis and journey from a corporate job to a vineyard. Three years ago, in May 2020, during Victoria’s COVID lockdowns, John White was running errands when he started to have sharp stomach pains. The pain went away, so John thought he had just had some bad food, that is until the cramps came back four months later in September while out shopping with his wife. This time, instead of going away, the pain gradually got worse over the next 12 to 18 hours, which led the Barwon Heads man to go to the hospital. “My wife and I were at the green grocers, and I had a sharp pain in my abdomen, and I thought it was another food thing, but it kept on getting worse,” he said. “I couldn’t sleep that night, and my wife said, ‘You should be going to the doctor or emergency because you’re not right’, but I said, ‘No, I’ll be fine in the morning’. “When the morning came, I was in so much pain that we went to the emergency department at the Geelong Epworth Hospital, and they did a scan but thought it was appendicitis at first. “There was a specialist walking the floor on the day and he said, ‘that mass where your appendix is, is not your appendix, it’s something else’.” After blood tests and scans, John was found to have a NeuroEndocrine Tumour (NET) located between the small and large intestines. The week after diagnosis, John was in surgery to remove 60 centimetres of his bowel, 10 lymph nodes and a 50-millimetre-diameter mass. “It was in lockdown, so my wife dropped me off at the hospital not knowing how bad it was and the gravity hits you and, at that stage, all of our kids were at home,” he said. “We got the news and did a jigsaw puzzle on the table, just the five of us. Without saying a word, there were a few tears, and I went to the hospital the next day. “I was about a month off work. I had a zipper scar over the stomach, and they must take out your intestines to find out where it is and then basically cut that out and reseal it. “You can’t eat for seven days, which was a real bummer because the Epworth has a really good food menu. I was recovering at home and that was around the time that I started thinking, ‘am I living the best life and the life that I wanted to live’, but I got caught up with work again.” John was still working at his investment management corporate job in October 2022 when doctors detected a second NET on his bowel, close to 50 centimetres away from the original one. “My oncologist has classified me as a curious case because I’ve had it twice close together and it’s not the same cancer that’s spread, it’s a completely new cancer,” he said. “That’s scary because they realise that they probably don’t know as much about this cancer as they thought they did originally, so they’re still learning how it transmits through the body. “The most likely explanation is it was a continuation of the first one, but the surgeon was adamant that she got out everything, so it could be a new primary tumour which is pretty rare.” After his second NET diagnosis, John decided to quit his job and follow his dream of being a winemaker. At age 54, he now owns a vineyard in Portarlington and his Circulus Wines business. “After my diagnosis, my wife prompted me to ask the question, ‘What have you not done in your life that you wish you had?’ and my answer was that I never got around to making wine,” he said. “She said, ‘Why don’t you do that? Why don’t we talk to a couple of people and maybe do a 14 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 10 November, 2023

barrel?’. Six months later, we buy a vineyard. “I was second guessing whether I was doing the right thing leaving my job, but at that time, I was thinking, ‘I don’t know how long I’ve got to live’. “Winemaking is a change of pace from what I was doing beforehand, and it keeps you grounded. The process, chemistry and winemaking are fascinating and frustrating at the same time. “I consider myself really lucky to be in this situation as I’ve been able to have a change of life due to this close call and it’s allowed me to take stock of what’s really important in life.” Neuroendocrine Cancer Australia (NECA) chief executive Meredith Cummins said NET cancer was often misdiagnosed. “The symptoms, like diarrhoea, racing heart and flushing are often attributed to everyday illnesses by doctors and means the cancer is often diagnosed late and can no longer be cured,” she said. “Many NET cancers are treatable when caught early, so the poor outcomes that we often see can be prevented.” John said he felt lucky to have been diagnosed early and have close access to infrastructure like hospitals. He was declared clear of cancer

this year in April at a six-monthly review. “It’s a scary place to be, but if you’re actually in the system, you got people looking at your file all the time,” he said. “In the back of my mind, I’m still scared because it’s come back a second time round, it could come back again, but if it does present
itself again, I’ve got the best team around me to take care of me.” NET Cancer Day is on Friday, November 10, and more information about the disease and its diagnosis is available at neuroendocrine.org.au Help and 24/7 support is available by calling Lifeline on 13 11 14.
The Guide BEACH HOUSE HUNTERS Nine, Friday, 7.30pm
PICK OF THE WEEK
Host Shelley Craft (pictured) is a stalwart from The Block, but thankfully this series isn’t awash with multimilliondollar priced homes. While The Block sells a certain aspirational dream, complete with the latest gadgets and furniture straight from the stores, this relatively easygoing series – boosted by Shelley’s sunny personality – is about the simple goal of finding beach abode. Bereft of product placement and featuring a mix of homehunters with diverse budgets, it’s an entertaining slice of Australia’s diverse coastal housing stock. Tonight, picturesque Yamba on NSW’s North Coast is the first destination, followed by the holiday hotspot of North Stradbroke Island.
DESSERT MASTERS 10, Sunday, 7.30pm
Perhaps this is the beginning of pastries and ice-cream being blessed as perfectly acceptable Sunday night dinner fare. In this upbeat and unapologetically sweet MasterChef spin-off, premiering tonight, sugar is fundamental. The difference with this confection is that the hosts, former MasterChef judge Melissa Leong and acclaimed Swiss-French pastry chef Amaury Guichon (both pictured), are witnessing 10 expert pastry chef and chocolate aficionados in action. There’s no half measures, with the amateur baking left to the viewers. With a wholesome $100,000 up for grabs for the winner, there are toothsome creations inspired by everything from pure nostalgia to films and nature.

He’s the consummate action hero: a muscled, street savvy lieutenant of the Los Angeles’ special weapons and a tactics team with a thirst for dangerous situations and a drive to help those in need. Shemar Moore (pictured, Criminal Minds) is the brawn and soul of this crime procedural as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson. So when the series was abruptly cancelled after season six and Moore called the decision a “mistake”, it’s understandable TV execs revoked their call… No one messes with Hondo. In tonight’s double episode, a home invasion affects a famous gridiron player. Later, the team races to prevent a hostage situation from escalating on live TV.
This superlative series about the magic of music – and the power of heartfelt, vulnerable conversation – wraps up its second season with a bang. Featuring a smattering of salsa, and some stirring, teary moments, musical theatre star Lin-Manuel Miranda shares five songs that have defined him. The Hamilton creator sits down with Zan Rowe (pictured with Miranda) for a colourful chat about his career and the impact of losing his dear friend and mentor Stephen Sondheim. There’s an emotional sing-along to Sondheim’s song Move On, with Miranda also delving into his hits with Disney.

NORTH BELLARINE FILM FESTIVAL
Film fest set to wow crowds The North Bellarine is gearing up for its annual film festival with plenty planned for film lovers. Festival chair Bill Lussier said the festival provided an opportunity for filmmakers to showcase their work. “The North Bellarine Film Festival is a popular event on the City’s arts and culture calendar and has been delivering high quality cinema to residents and visitors to the region since its inception in 2017,” he said. “The Emerging Filmmaker Award has been identifying talented young filmmakers and screening their work since it was established in 2019. The annual award ceremony on the Saturday evening of the festival is a celebration of some of our state’s best young filmmakers.” The festival opens with the critically acclaimed French film Saint Omer, directed by Alice Diop, which follows Senegalese-French novelist Rama who travels to Saint-Omer to observe and write about the trial of Senegalese immigrant Laurence. Laurence’s unspeakable crime and her isolation from family and society while living in France lead Rama to question her complex relationship with her own mother and to become increasingly anxious about her life and pregnancy. Saint Omer has won numerous international film awards including the Grand Jury Prize at the 2022 Venice Film Festival. The finalists for the 2023 Emerging Filmmaker Award will be screened at 7.30pm on Saturday November 18 with the winner announced at the conclusion of the evening. This award recognises Victorian filmmakers 25 years of age and younger who demonstrate excellence, talent and commitment to their craft, making this event a celebration of some of the state’s best young filmmakers. The audience will also vote for the favourite amongst the finalists in the newly established People’s Choice Award.
Love Cut: directed and written by Tom Tutone, produced by Rachel Chen.
Doors open at 6.30pm on both evenings with complimentary finger food provided by Pier Street Cafe and a cash bar. The festival’s Australian and international short film program will be screened on the Saturday afternoon. Doors open at noon. The North Bellarine Film Festival is at the Potato Shed in Drysdale on Friday November 17 and Saturday 18 November. Festival passes and session tickets are available online at the North Bellarine Film Festival website (northbellarinefilmfestival. org), the Potato Shed box office and by phoning 5251 1998.

MOTOR
In Essence, more staying power By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring Car companies continue to make strides in the electrification of their vehicles. One manufacturer to step up its power play is MG Motors (for Morris Garages), the Chinese owned former British auto industry mainstay. Already the fully electric compact sports utility vehicle has made its presence felt on the EV world with the Excite and Essence models, the latter chipping in with a claimed maximum range of 320 kilometres. Now this has been stretched to 440 kilometres with a new variant, loosely tagged Long Range, with the added plus over the Essence of a privacy rear window helping to maximise climate control, hence the comfort of occupants. The 440km driving range comes from the switch to a 72.6 kWh battery, as opposed to the 320km courtesy of the lithium-ion 51.1 kWh battery. The entry-level Excite has a comprehensive collection of features, including a range of drive modes, three regen braking modes, 360 degree camera i-Smart connectivity, satellite navigation, plus MG Pilot driver safety technology. Upshift to the Essence brings to the table panoramic glass sunroof and roof rails, wireless phone charging and blind spot and rear-cross traffic alert. A shopping list of accessories includes fabric boot mat and liner, boot lip protector and skid plate, chrome boot trim strip, dash mat, fabric or rubber floor mats, weather to four doors, printed bonnet protector, clear bonnet protector, LED scuff Plates and two door sills, towbar, roof racks, 7 kW Go Cable 22 kW rapid charge cable.

name as the cheapest electric vehicle on the market. Now, along comes a ZS with more mileage to offer - at a price ($11,000 to be precise). Introduction to the new ZS electric vehicles comes with the entry-level Excite selling for $46,195, plus on-road costs, the mid-range Essence follows for a further $3000, while the Essence Long Range tops off the trio for

$55,990. The ZS Essence Long Range, the test vehicle, carries a seven-year unlimited kilometre warranty, as does the battery. MG’s so-called Precise Price Servicing also applies. STYLING No-cost paint colours are Dover White or Pebble Black, while the Brighton Blue Essence Long Range on test would set back a buyer an extra $700. All the MG EVs maintain the general shape of the petrol models with the upper radiator grille replaced by a solid surface incorporating a flap offering easy access to the charging point. Headlamps and LED daytime running lights flank the front directly under the bonnet edge. Propeller-style alloy wheel aero covers give the wheels a unique character. INTERIOR Leatherette seats, driver and front passenger positions heated, with crafted red stitching, lead the way for a premium interior feel, topped off (literally) with a truly panoramic sunroof flooding the interior with natural light. In the rear, the 60/40 split reclining seats are surprisingly generous with leg room and give access to 359 litres of luggage space, while an under-boot cubby is reserved to take tyre repair kit and battery rapid charging tackle. INFOTAINMENT The ZS EV features a 10.1-inch colour touchscreen with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto access, allowing for integration with personal tech. However, the somewhat higgledy-piggledy layout of the info makes management fiddly, especially on the move. Presentation of real-time vehicle performance comes with an upgraded 7-inch digital instrument cluster in direct driver field of vision. Keyless entry, wireless phone charger and six-speaker audio add to the in-cabin experience. A signature addition to the new ZS EV is the iSMART app, allowing you to monitor and control vehicle functions remotely. For example, locate the vehicle, lock or unlock it, monitor vehicle status such as range and charge remaining. ENGINES/TRANSMISSIONS With 440km driving range from a 72.6 kWh battery, the new MG ZS Long Range leaves its predecessor (320km of range from the lithium-ion 51.1 kWh battery) behind. That’s not all. In an MG first, powering external devices can be done using the ZS EV vehicle-to-load (V2L) function. Electronics can be operated on the go, or appliances such as camping gear
powered using electricity stored in the lithium ion battery of an MG ZS EV. SAFETY The former MG ZS EV was awarded a five-star ANCAP safety rating in 2019. The hallmark MG Pilot package has added adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist with departure warning, traffic jam assist, intelligent cruise assist, intelligent headlamp control, speed assistance system, blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert. DRIVING Powered by a liquid-cooled, lithium battery, with up to 72.6 kWh, delivering 280 Nm of instant torque and up to 130 kW of power, the maker claims the ZS Essence Long Range can go from zero to 100 km/h in 8.2 seconds. All this with nothing but a gentle whirring of the motor. Maximum combined energy consumption on the test touched 18 kWh per 100 kilometres. Fill her up? I topped up the ‘tank’ on a public fast charger from 60 to 80 per cent in 40 minutes at a cost of $6.83. Designed to achieve optimum handling and chassis feel, the ZS EV’s powertrain has been packaged to achieve a low centre of gravity. Housed underneath the passenger compartment as part of the ZS EV’s flat-floor architecture, and an added bonus for occupant leg comfort, the balanced distribution of weight keeps the ZS EV planted through the corners. The suspension appears a little firm. Braking response is good, although regenerative braking is not like some EVs with ‘single pedal’ driving. This one slows the vehicle only to a crawl, not to a halt. With the MG Pilot willing to assist safe driving to a high level, the lane keep assist with departure warning tended to intrude too quickly and forcefully. Driving is a human activity, after all. SUMMARY MG has pushed out the kilometres for its small SUV EV, but is it enough for the market? Meanwhile, the journey is set to continue even further – longer range, more technology, for fewer dollars, with MG4 rear-wheel drive hatch, which is due to arrive in the second half of this year.

It’s sister versus sister By AAP Geelong star Georgie Prespakis will attempt to focus her attention on a breakthrough AFLW finals win for the Cats instead of engaging in banter with her elder sister Madison. The Prespakis siblings, key midfielders for their respective clubs, will face off in Sunday’s elimination final as Essendon travel to GMHBA Stadium. Madison, a four-time best-and-fairest winner with Carlton and the Bombers, tagged her sister in a social media post confirming the AFLW’s finals fixture. But Georgie didn’t bite back. “I sent (Madison) a message last night,” the
20-year-old Cats star said. “I just want her to enjoy the week of the build-up of the final, but as for my week, my 100 per cent full attention is with Geelong and doing what we can to get the win. We’re pretty confident in whoever we come up against. “It will be a really good game, we’re just really stoked we’ve got a home ground advantage.” Geelong is eyeing a first post-season win in its AFLW history, after falling just short against North Melbourne in the corresponding match last season. Essendon got the better of the Cats earlier in this campaign, with the Bombers surging into finals in just their second season as an
expansion club. Geelong finished off the home-and-away fixtures with a convincing win over Hawthorn on Saturday, with Georgie Prespakis resting in the final quarter having already racked up 35 disposals. “We’re not ready to be done yet - hopefully it will be next week and the week after that we’re continuing to be coming back to train and be around our teammates and coaches,” she said. “We’ve really hit our straps the last few weeks. We want to play with freedom, and the past two games we have been able to play eight consistent quarters. “To be able to win games you have to be strong across the entire match.”

Tennis Geelong nights spark rivalries LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers The Women’s Doubles and Open Triples spring seasons are halfway through and some teams have established a strong lead while others are in a battle for the top spot in the ladder. The Women’s Doubles Night competition is in its third season, and Grape Therapy’s top end talent has led the way to a large lead in Section 1. “We are doing well so far, but all teams have been competitive and have enjoyed the tennis,” captain Donna Schoenmaekers said. “Playing regular team matches and mixing in super rounds has kept things interesting and made the competition more social.” The Wallabies seem to be clear favourites in Section 2 Women’s Doubles with a mix of players from Lara, Ocean Grove, and Grovedale only dropping one set in six weeks.
That set came this week in a competitive match against second-place Highton 1 however, which could be a potential grand final preview. Section 1 Triples is led by four-time premiership team Moolap Two Phones Chol. However, second placed Grovedale is undefeated with a tight round three win over Moolap, who were missing the league’s top player Shaun Grigg. Grigg’s eventual departure to Gold Coast to be part of the Suns AFL coaching staff may play a role in the premiership race for this season and beyond. The ladder is very tight in Section 2 with the Triples Wallabies team having a slight lead over a close pack of four teams. Two-time past Section 2 premiership team Winks Wizards are currently in wooden spoon position after an uptick in talent among their opponents this season. Section 3’s ladder is also a battle with two Lara teams in first and third, but the second-place
Rally Cats are undefeated with three wins and two washouts. Section 4 is being dominated by new team Grovedale Grand Slammers. The Grand Slammers are captained by Section 1 junior player Fletcher Allen, who has put together a strong squad of three improving juniors, as well as his father Matthew Allen, a stalwart Saturday player returning this season from a hiatus. Past premiership team Grovedale Four Posts gave the Grand Slammers all they could handle this past week in a grudge match battle of numbers one and two on the ladder, 4-2 on sets and 29-25 on games. The Leopold Lizards have only lost four sets in their four matches in Section 5, but last season’s runner-up Highton Flyers will likely have a say in deciding the premiership by the end of the season.
Snapper starting to skyrocket ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos The snapper fishing this week is certainly starting to sky rocket with fantastic reports coming through of anglers landing some cracking fish, some to more than 10kg. The snapper have been spread all over the bay and surrounding areas. The outer harbour is proving to be very productive at the moment with some cracking reports rolling through. Clifton Springs, as we always mention, is a yearly hotspot and this year is no exemption. From the spoil grounds to the channel there seems to be good numbers of fish spread right through. Soft plastics and your standard snapper baits have been getting the job done with fish to 5kg in solid numbers and a few reports of fish between 6kg and 8kg with one or two of 9kg. St Leonards has been a bit of a hot spot this week with good reports coming through from both boat and landbased anglers. The pier has been very productive for calamari with fishos picking them up on 2.5 or 3.0 jigs casting around the jetty and towards the lights shining in the water and also snapper out far on baits. Fishing those windy nights definitely helps bring the fish in close and shallow making it super assessable for landbased anglers and on its day can be more productive than in a boat. Launching baits like pilchards and squid has been accounting for some solid fish. Anglers fishing from boats are finding good success on King George whiting. Fishing the stronger tides definitely helps with, ideally, dirtier water. The area well known as ‘Bourke Street’ remains a productive area to fish and a bit of burley helps hold fish in the area and with a spread of fresh baits like squid and pipis work great. Offshore, snapper have really kicked into gear this week with Gone Fishing Charters right into the action getting their customers into the hot bite and putting some fish on the deck. Most fish have been around that 2kg size with some getting around 5kg. It pays to have a bigger bait out for the chance of a much bigger fish or a gummy shark.
World bronze for Brandon
Geelong’s Brandon Weening is rapidly making a name for himself in the sport of darts. 289394_05 (Ivan Kemp) 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 10 November, 2023
Geelong darts star Brandon Weening has returned from a whirlwind international tour with a bronze medal in his luggage. The professional player competed at the World Cup Darts Championships in Denmark and was a member of the Australian men’s team which finished third in a field of 50 counties. He competed at number three in the four-man World Cup squad and in the individual rankings, won through to the top eight, finishing fifth out of 200 competitors. “It was a great result, and we only lost to England in the semi-final,” he said. “Personally, it was a really successful campaign and I picked up some valuable points on the world stage.” Weening then travelled to Belgium to compete in the Bruges Open where he was beaten by world number one Andy Baetens
5-3, earning him 56 coveted World Darts Federation Points. He used the British Classic and British Open events in the UK as warm-up competitions for the World Cup. Weening packed his own portable dart board and stand on tour, allowing him to practise at any time of the day or night. After four weeks of travelling, Weening is glad to be back home playing for the Chiefs at The Beckley Centre in the Geelong and District Darts Association. “It’s a great competition here and a nice place to be when I’m not travelling,” he said. “I appreciate the ongoing support the Geelong Greyhound Racing Club provides.” Weening has an interest in two greyhound pups, which he hopes may one day grace the track at his favourite club.

SPORT battle at Kookas’ 178 ‘about par’ Tight the top By Justin Flynn
Inverleigh captain Lachie Platt believes his side’s score of 178 all out against Jan Juc was “about par” after day one of round five on Saturday October 4. In a battle of the BPCA A1 Grade’s two bottom sides, Inverleigh batted its full allotment of 75 overs to be dismissed for 178 at Jan Juc. Platt said the going was tough, but praised his batters’ application to dig in for the entire day. “Their spinners bowled well through the middle part,” he said. “A few blokes, their strike rates weren’t high, but they did the job for us in the end, which was good.” Kieran McNally top scored with 34 from 109 deliveries, Kobe George made 32 from 100 and Nathan Pisani hit 32 from 76. A late 20 not out from 30 balls from Mason Dickson got the Kookaburras up to a competitive score. Jan Juc spinners Mark Zahra (3/41 from 22 overs) and Tom Kearney (0/16 from 10) proved difficult to get away while left-arm seamer Jordy Graham was superb with 5/40 from 19 probing overs. Platt said he hopes to have George in the side until at least Christmas, but that depended on Geelong Falcons preseason
training commitments. “Hopefully we see a bit of him, but obviously footy will come first,” he said. “We should have him up until Christmas I’m hoping.” Platt believes the competition is competitive this season and even though his side is winless after four games, they aren’t far off. “Obviously Anglesea are the benchmark, but I think the likes of Armstrong Creek have come a fair way,” he said. “I think every game is winnable, but you could also get beaten pretty easily as well. I think every game’s got a lot more 50/50 to it than it has been the last few years. Even Jan Juc haven’t won a game and they played in the grand final last year.” With the bottom placed side to be relegated at the end of the season, Platt said finals were still on his mind. “There’s still 10 games to go so to win this one would be very handy to get the ball rolling,” he said. “We were pretty close last week, but I think if we can string a few games together we’ll be okay. We’ve had a lot of unavailability lately. We’ve had two or three changes each week, which makes it hard.” Platt believes his side is more suited to the 75-over two-day version. “Hopefully we get a few two-day wins and
then maybe one or two one-days over the Christmas period,” he said. BARRABOOL holds the upper hand against Ocean Grove, scoring 9/228. Michael Kelson (40), Jack Purcell (38) and Kane Pickering (37 not out) all contributed for the Bulls. Alex Mann bowled well for the Grubbers taking 2/27 from 15 overs while slow bowler Bailey Le Maistre gave nothing away with 2/57 from 24. QUEENSCLIFF’s lower order saved it from embarrassment against Armstrong Creek. At 8/90, the Coutas were staring at a sub-100 total, but Jordan Monahan dug in for an unbeaten 33 and Tom Kidd made 38 to go with Lachie Kidd’s 35 at the top of the order for a final total of 169. In-form fast bowler Lachlan Mulgrew took 3/15 for the Titans. At stumps, Armstrong Creek safely negotiated 10 overs and was well placed at 0/35. ANGLESEA was all out in the 75th over for 205 against Barwon Heads. A 101-run opening stand between Steven Nicholson (51) and Tyron Norman (50) and a well-made 43 from Simon Umbers pushed the total to more than 200. If not for the superb bowling of leg-spinner Dan Donaldson, it would have been more. Donaldson took 6/72 from 28 overs to give his side a sniff next week.
Joeys on top of the GCA ladder By Justin Flynn St Joseph’s coach Daniel Fanning said his side’s performance in round five was the perfect preparation leading into two-day cricket resuming this weekend. Joeys sit on top of the GCA ladder with four wins and one loss after demolishing Highton on Saturday November 4. Fanning said the evenness of the competition made early wins crucial. “There’s probably a player in every side that can take a game away from you quite easily,” he said. “There are batsmen in every team who can win a match off their own bat and bowlers, there’s probably even a couple from some sides who maybe haven’t got going quite yet. It’s very even and I think that we’ll see this year there will be upsets regularly and ladder positions will change quite a bit.” Highton won the toss on Saturday and at one stage was eight wickets down when Lewis Campbell departed for 55 out of his team’s 79. Errol Burns (27) and Fionn Neeson (21 not out) then added 50 for the ninth wicket before a stunning direct hit from midwicket by Mitch McMullan removed Burns. “We got two direct hit run outs yesterday Jack Riding got one as well,” Fanning said. “That comes on the back of five run outs against North Geelong in round two and a couple of handy catches.” Paceman Austin Humphrey took 3/28 while spinner McMullan (3/14) and seamer Brandon Purcell (2/28) also bowled well. “Austin Humphrey and Ben Clark did really well with the new ball,” Fanning said. “Austin took three wickets, but Ben kept things really tidy so to get off to a good start like that it sets the tone.” St Joseph’s was largely untroubled in its pursuit of 130 for victory. Ryan Simmonds hit 32 from 44 balls while Jackson Bye and McMullan both remained unbeaten on 31 to give Joeys a seven-wicket win inside 32 overs. “Ryan Simmons got away to a pretty quick start and then Callum Leese, our English import, came in and I think he whacked 20 off about 13 balls,” Fanning said. “He ramps them and hits him over the top from ball one. He’s got a 360 game. He only
Highton holds a slender one-point lead over Bareena on the Geelong Bowls Region Pennant Division ladder. Both sides won comfortably in round two on Saturday November 4 with Bareena defeating Eastern Park by 22 shots. Karl Weil and Glenn Slattery fought out a tie on rink three, but Chris Richardson and John Snell got the job done for Bareena on rinks one and two. Richardson’s rink of Darren Jennings, Ron Dillon and Simon McDonald enjoyed a 27 to 11 win. Highton took all 16 points when it demolished City of Geelong by 32 shots at home. David Priddle and Lee Green had a close tussle with the Highton skip coming out on top by two shots while Scott McLachlan and Dan Priddle had comfortable wins. Ocean Grove and Queenscliff fought out an epic tie. Queenscliff took nine points from the match and Ocean Grove seven. Steve Sullivan got the better of Bradley Pavey by six shots and Benjamin Russell defeated Matt Flapper by three. Peter Loe grabbed one back for the Grovers. Drysdale knocked off Bell Post Hill to record its first win of the season. Cal Inderberg’s rink of Matthew Hommelhoff, Mark Nowlan and Luke Benson won by 26 shots and Ashley Rees just got over the line against Brian Bottrell by three, leaving it to Mark Godbolt to scrape home against Ben Toner by one. Despite the eventual 30-shot margin, Bell Post Hill would be encouraged by the performance while Drysdale is in fourth spot on the ladder. This Saturday sees Ocean Grove taking on Bareena at home in the match of the round. Drysdale hosts Highton in what should be an interesting match-up while Eastern Park hosts Queenscliff and Bell Post Hill makes the short trip to City of Geelong.

got 20, but it just breaks the shackles open.” Fanning said Highton bowled well and set good fields, but 129 was always going to be tough to defend. Burns in particular stood out with 1/16 from 10 overs. “Once he (Burns) bowled five or six tight overs, we recognised that we could see him out and then wait for their fourth and fifth bowlers to try and break the game open,” Fanning said. The competition now turns to two-day cricket after several seasons of limited overs games. “I think the whole region is crying out to put the creams back on and get the red balls out and play some more traditional cricket,” Fanning said. NEWTOWN & CHILWELL brought up its first win by defeating South Barwon. Ronnie Mckenna led the way with 83 from 53 balls in the Two Blues’ score of 6/249 while
Chay Deary took 4/23 to have the Swans all out 212 in reply despite another blistering knock from Nick Butters (85 from 68 deliveries). NORTH GEELONG opener Ned Cooper was the star in his side’s win against Lara. The classy left-hander made an unconquered 114 while Philip Visser’s 55 helped the Magpies to a commanding 5/242. Lara captain Daniel Weigl made a nice 50 out of 170 all out, but Tom Mathieson (4/29) found form and Thomas Webster (3/37) did his job for second placed North Geelong. EAST BELMONT defeated Grovedale with Josh Lacey (59) and Hayden McMahon (48 not out) guiding the score to 5/198 after being sent in. The strong Grovedale batting line-up wasn’t allowed to get going, falling for 135 thanks to a stunning player-of-the-match performance from Lacey, who took 5/8 from 8.4 overs and James McMahon, who snared 3/28.
