Big crowds for events Greater Geelong is set to host two massive events that will attract about 75,000 people this weekend. The Geelong Revival will attract car lovers from all over the country while the Queenscliff Music Festival is set to entertain on the Bellarine Peninsula. More than 1500 cars and motorcycles and 50,000 people will take over the Geelong Waterfront for the Revival while about 25,000 are expected to flock to the Bellarine for the music festival. Both are multiday events while international pop star Robbie Williams will perform at Mt Duneed on Saturday night. Those searching for accommodation are in for a rude shock. Online searches show scant availability and high prices for a two-night stay in Geelong while the pickings are also slim, and costly, on the Bellarine. ■ For more on the Geelong Revival see

City ‘gags’ councillors By Matt Hewson As thousands are caught in the crossfire in Gaza, City officials have barred Geelong councillors from even discussing the idea of supporting a ceasefire in the war-torn area. Councillors Sarah Hathway and Jim Mason submitted notices of motion calling for a ceasefire and the return of Hamas hostages, but were disallowed from doing so by Geelong chief executive Ali Wastie. Cr Hathway said her motion was disallowed on the grounds it was “prejudicial”, an undefined term in council governance rules but used here to mean “anything that may put
council officers or councillors at risk”. “There was a view that if this were discussed in the chambers there was the potential to incite violence,” Cr Hathway said. “I did try to explore it - I’ll acknowledge my motion was quite lengthy - but it was pretty clearly just shut down, not accepted, no further discussion.” Similar motions have been passed at other councils around Australia, including the City of Canterbury-Bankstown in Sydney and the City of Merri-bek in Melbourne. Cr Hathway said the City officials’ decision was not only “baffling” but “undemocratic. “It wasn’t that long ago that councillors were attending vigils for Ukraine in their
capacity as councillors, and rightly so,” she said. “We lit up City Hall in blue and yellow, we put out statements and that wasn’t deemed to be prejudicial. “There’s a real sense that this is the issue we can’t talk about.” Ms Wastie declined to comment but Geelong mayor Trent Sullivan said “there are other options being explored” to acknowledge the Gaza conflict. “We are all horrified by what is occurring in Israel and Palestine and want to see an end to the suffering as soon as possible,” Mayor Sullivan said. “The chief executive has made a decision based on council governance rules,
which I understand and support.” Free Palestine Geelong spokespeople Noor Al-Assafi and Yasir Ismat expressed their concern and confusion over the City’s decision to bar discussion on the conflict. “The community is building stronger to ensure our elected representatives actually represent the concerns of the community and stand up for justice and peace,” they said. “We invite all Greater Geelong residents to join us as we march for peace and an end to the genocide.” Free Palestine Geelong’s march begins at noon at Little Malop Street on Saturday, November 25.

Let schoolies have fun, say police By Jena Carr Police will be out in full force for the beginning of Surf Coast’s schoolies despite lower numbers of school-leavers expected to visit the region. High school graduates from across the country will flock to Torquay and Lorne from November 25 to December 2 to celebrate the end of schooling. Victoria Police Surf Coast Local Area Commander Acting Inspector Paul Matheson said the number of schoolies visiting the Surf Coast would be down by close to 30 per cent.
“You’re going to see a lot more foot patrols, a mounted branch (police who operate on horseback), normal patrols on adjoining roads, and traffic enforcement,” he said. “If you’re driving a vehicle and you’re pulled over, expect to be drug and alcohol tested. That’s our message for everyone, have a designated driver organised beforehand.” Acting Inspector Matheson said the police’s message to the public was to “let the schoolies have fun” and that young people should have designated drivers and travel in groups. “It’s about a time for celebration, not just
for schoolies, but the end of the year, and it’s been a tough few years, so let everyone enjoy themselves,” he said. “Alcohol and water don’t mix. It’s like driving; do it in groups and stay out of the sea, rivers, lakes if your alcohol is affected.” Surf Coast Shire Mayor Liz Pattison said council would help provide the “Good Times, Great Breaks harm reduction response” despite schoolies not being a registered council-endorsed event. Mayor Pattison said there would be close to 600 school-leavers heading to Lorne and a
couple hundred in Torquay, which is “slightly down” from last year, based on accommodation numbers. “We welcome school leavers to the Surf Coast and encourage them to have a good time, stay safe and look after themselves and their environment,” she said. “We partner with agencies including Victoria Police, the Red Frogs, Barwon Child Youth and Family, Ambulance Victoria, Great Ocean Road Health, accommodation providers, and licensed venues.” If the public sees anyone in distress, they should ask the person if they need help, if it is safe, and ring 000 immediately.
Revival taking flight Gear up for a three-day motoring extravaganza as the Geelong Revival returns to the roads and takes to the skies this weekend. The Geelong Revival Motoring Festival will see more than 1500 cars and motorcycles taking over the Geelong Waterfront from November 24 to 26. Event director Nicholas Heath said it would be the event’s “biggest year” in classic racing and vintage cars, with nearly 50,000 people expected to attend. “I’m running a 1923 Essex Speedster. It’s 100 years old this year, so we get to celebrate that a bit and that’s going to be exciting,” he said. “A bit over a third of people coming are locals, and the rest seem to come from out of the region. “A lot come down from Melbourne, but we have people coming interstate and even people coming from overseas for the event.” A large display of operational military vehicles that showcase the Defence Force’s
new technologies is among the event’s latest attractions. Mr Heath said the festival would feature former military aircraft RAAF No. 100 Squadron performing flybys over the Ritchie Boulevard sprint track on both days of racing. “I’m really excited to see the old warbirds fly over our event,” he said. “It’s great to be able to add something of historical significance to our lineup of attractions, and it will pair well with the addition of the new military display.” The Country Fire Authority (CFA), Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria, and SES will also allow festivalgoers to connect with local emergency services. The festival starts with a meet and greet on Friday night before racing commences from 10am on Saturday.

More cash for Geelong roads By Matt Hewson Geelong mayor Trent Sullivan has welcomed an announcement by the federal government to provide more money to council to fix regional roads. After axing 50 capital works projects last week - including the Geelong fast rail - infrastructure minister Catherine King announced this week the Albanese government would double funding for the Roads to Recovery program from $500 million to $1 billion per year. Funding for recognised Black Spots will also
rise from $110 million to $150 million each year. The Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity program and the Bridges Renewal program will also be merged into a new Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure program, which will be increased from $150 million to $200 million. Mayor Sullivan said the council had advocated strongly for more money for road maintenance and repair in the Geelong region and would continue to do so. “The combination of rising population, road use and severe weather events have put increased pressure on regional roads leading to
dangerous potholes and damage that must be fixed before they cause accidents and serious damage to cars,” he said. “The Federal Government has committed more than $4bn over the next decade to patch up regional roads and bridges that have fallen into disrepair. “We will continue to make our case to the Government, to ensure we get our fair share of the new funding. Ms King said the federal government was committed to delivering the funds in a way that reduced administrative costs and allowed for
quicker turnarounds. “Big roads and metropolitan highways might get a lot of attention, but we spend most of our driving lives on local roads around where we live and where we work,” she said. “Regional road networks have been battered by severe weather events over the last few years. This funding will help councils to fix and maintain our roads. “This investment will support regional communities, and help move freight to and from our rural production centres (while giving) councils certainty and the ability to plan.”
Queenscliff welcomes thousands for festival The Bellarine’s biggest music festival is back this weekend, with the 25th edition of the Queenscliff Music Festival (QMF). In a festival first, the music kicked off on Thursday night (November 23) with 11 shows across four venues, with Aussie music legends The Badloves and Melbourne cult favourites Jazzparty giving their sole performances for the weekend. With international artists such as Aloe Blacc, G.Love & Special Sauce and Foy Vance, local powerhouses like Ian Moss, Something For Kate, Boy & Bear and Illy, audiences will have their pick of familiar and favourite acts to choose from. But festival director Andrew Orvis said it was the musical surprises that QMF was always most proud to present to punters. “I think what sets us apart is you can come and see the big shows, the big name artists that you love, but in amongst all of that you’re going to see some bands that maybe you’ve never heard of but will
soon be your new favourite bands,” he said. “The other thing that’s unique for us is Queenscliff itself; the coast, the park, the beautiful old town, the harbour, venues like the Vue Grand and the Queenscliff Town Hall. All of that’s pretty special and unique to our festival and our community.” Like many other annual events, QMF didn’t run in 2020 or 2021, but last year saw a triumphant return for the festival. This year, with the likelihood of COVID-19 lockdowns well behind us, QMF expected to attract over 25,000 to the Bellarine over the weekend. Mr Orvis said it was a relief to go into the festival without the spectre of COVID-19 hanging over everything. “Everyone’s just excited, it’s nice to be back doing it with things feeling pretty normal again,” he said. “Even though last year’s festival went ahead it was still kind of always in the back of our minds, so it’s nice to be full steam ahead.” Matt Hewson

genU board reshuffle announced By Matt Hewson The chair of Geelong-based disability services provider genU Dr Michael Stanford has been replaced in the top job by his deputy chair Ingrid Williams following his resignation this week. Ms Williams, who has over 30 years’ experience in health services including executive roles, will be replaced in the deputy chair position by director Jan O’Keefe, who has been a member of the genU board since 2019. Dr Stanford’s resignation comes less than a week after the organisation released its annual report, showing a $9.7 million deficit for
2022-23. In a statement last week, Dr Stanford said the loss was due to implementing new projects and programs for the organisation’s national expansion after its merger with Anglicare Tasmania and Li-Ve Tasmania. “The strategic restructure and investment in new initiatives will streamline operations and delivery nationally,” Dr Stanford said. “Overall, genU is well positioned for the future as we complete our current strategic plan and develop our vision for 2025-2030.” Ms Williams said she had enjoyed working with Dr Stanford over the past 12 months. “I’d like to thank Michael for his significant
contribution and am thrilled to be stepping up to the role of board chair,” she said. “We’ve recently embarked on a multi-year digital strategy, realigned our organisation structure for more effective service delivery and positioned ourselves in Tasmania.” “We know further changes will be required with industry reforms coming, however, we’re optimistic about the future. We have a great legacy to build on, staff who are experienced and passionate, and an ongoing commitment to service excellence to meet the needs of our current and future clients.” genU CEO Clare Amies said she’s looking forward to working with Ms Williams and Ms
O’Keefe in their new capacity as Board Chair and Deputy Chair respectively. “genU is in a really exciting transformation and growth period and both Ingrid and Jan have demonstrated leadership and specific expertise that will prove invaluable over the next few years,” Clare said. “They are both strategic thinkers, have a deep understanding of the sectors we work within, and are committed to our vision, our strategic direction and the continued expansion of our services nationally.” In 2022-23 genU assisted 65,500 people through its wide range of disability, aged care, training and employment services.
Celebrating Christmas St Cuthbert’s Anglican Church Grovedale will erupt in song next week as the U3A Geelong Choir presents its annual Christmas concert. The church on Heyers Road will host the concert for the first time on Wednesday, November 29, from 1.30pm to 3pm after the choir outgrew its usual space at the Chapel at Cobbin Farm. U3A Geelong Choir secretary Dawn Cunningham said she was excited to see the choir perform the concert at the new location and that rehearsals had been going well. “The Chapel is quite small where we rehearse each week and we found that with so many choristers performing, we couldn’t possibly have it in the Chapel and also have an audience,” she said. “It’s a beautiful church (St Cuthbert’s Anglican Church) and we’ll have a lovely afternoon tea after the performance in their big hall.”
Ms Cunningham said most of the choir members would bring a plate of food and that the public was welcome to come along to the concert, with entrance by a gold coin donation. “I would just love people to come along and listen to some beautiful music,” she said. “Our music director, Jeanette John, is absolutely wonderful, as is our accompanist, who comes from Melbourne, Heather Wickes. We’re very fortunate to have them both at the helm.” U3A Geelong is a volunteer-run community organisation providing activities and opportunities for people to continue learning. The U3A Geelong Choir will present the Christmas concert at St Cuthbert’s Anglican Church Grovedale on Wednesday, November 29, from 1.30pm to 3pm. Jena Carr

Beloved business closes up shop By Matt Hewson One of Geelong West’s longest-running businesses bids farewell next month when the Woolsy Trading Post closes its doors after 49 years. The much-loved store at 140-142 Shannon Avenue, which specialises in craft and sheepskin products, will conduct its last day of trading on Saturday, December 16. Established by husband and wife Graeme and Nola King in the early 1970s, the Woolsy began its life as a sheepskin buff pad business in another building on Shannon Avenue, before moving to its current location in 1977. “I used to work at Pilkington ACI, a safety glass manufacturer, and we set up the first shop where we made our sheepskin products and I used to work down there after I knocked off,” Graeme said. Graeme liked experimenting with how patterns were made and soon began designing sheepskin footwear, particularly moccasins and Ugg boots, but the store also sold a variety of other products over the years. “We got into toys, because there was an educational toy shop in the city that was closing, so we thought we’d pinch their name, which was the Walrus and the Carpenter and set this half up as a toy shop,” Graeme said. “Then the toy shop opposite opened up, and that was three or four times the size of the toy shop here. So we scrapped that and started to sell office furniture.” By the early 80s the sheepskin products, which included handmade car seat covers, rugs, cushions and golf club covers, were being manufactured off site at a small factory in Pakington Street. With three kids on her hands Nola decided not to go back to her original career of teaching, instead taking on the full-time responsibility of
managing and working in the Shannon Avenue shop. Nola soon established a thriving craft business to complement the wool and sheepskin products. When Nola died in 2005, Graeme’s three daughters Lyndell, Bronwyn and Caroline thought he might retire, or sell the business, but Graeme hired on a team of employees and continued to run the business. Now, nearly 20 years later, Graeme’s ongoing health issues, the impact of COVID-19 and the rising cost of business have meant the Woolsy’s doors will close forever.

When she looked up at me she was nearly crying. She said, you can’t change your mind, can you?
’’
- Graeme King Graeme said he hadn’t noticed until now how important a part of the community he and the business had been over the decades. “I was in here a couple of weeks ago and a woman brought some wool up and put it on the counter, and when she looked up at me she was nearly crying,” he said. “She said, you can’t change your mind, can you? She enjoyed the shop and the products we had to offer. “I’ve had people come in and say to me they used to come with their mother to buy wool when they were little, and now they were coming in to buy it now as an adult. “I suppose you don’t realise, as time progresses, because things are happening all the time and it just seems natural. But looking back, yeah, I’m proud.”

By Cr Trent Sullivan We are spoiled for choice when it comes to getting outdoors in Geelong. There is 133 kilometres of coastline, and 90 square kilometres of open space, to explore and enjoy. Each of us has our regular spots, which act as our own oasis from the daily grind. Whether it’s for relaxation, recreation, socialising or exercise, there are so many mental and physical benefits that come from spending time outdoors. But as we get into the peak summer and visitor period, these sanctuaries can start to feel like they are now everybody’s favourite spot. As our population – and popularity as a tourism destination - grows, council is committed to improving our range of outdoor assets. The number of locations under our control is huge. We manage more than 360 parks or reserves; and 15 waterways and wetland nature reserves. In and around these are a range of facilities, such as playgrounds, barbecue and picnic areas, sports courts, skate parks, dog parks, BMX tracks and fitness equipment. There are several projects underway, focused on enhancing our existing facilities and maximising the potential of some under-utilised spaces. One of these is the revitalisation of the Bay Trail. The top priority in Council’s Shared Trails Master Plan, the Bay Trail takes in a

nine-kilometre stretch from North Shore to Western Beach Foreshore. The work aims to address gaps in the trail and other deficiencies, to create a cohesive and memorable shared path that attracts locals and visitors alike. A recent round of public consultation on the
Bay Trail has just finished, with that feedback to inform the finishing touches to a concept plan. Consultation is continuing on how to improve two public reserves. At five hectares, the reserve running from Morena Street to Old Flour Mill Road in Highton is undeveloped but does have some potential. While it has a steep slope and a drainage basin, there is the ability to enhance the area’s natural spaces and provide active travel connections. Council is proposing to retain the wetlands and allocate $2.2 million over three years to introduce: • 2.5-metre-wide concrete pedestrian paths • grass kickabout space • new trees, native vegetation and garden beds • a small play space; and • seating overlooking the gully. While over in St Albans Park, residents are invited to share their ideas for what an upgraded playground in Aldershot Reserve might look like. The design will be guided by residents’ feedback, with preliminary plans to be shared early in 2024. Through our annual budget process, Council allocated $200,000 this year to upgrade the range of outdoor exercise equipment on offer. Some funding is being allocated to Barwon Valley Fun Park and Rippleside, to replace all existing equipment with new equipment. Proposed design options have been created for both sites, consisting of both fixed and moving pieces. Feedback on those proposals is being taken for the next couple of weeks. I encourage residents to visit yoursay. geelongaustralia.com.au and to provide their input and ideas on the above projects.

Absolutely ‘pawsome’ Maisie the pasta-loving kelpie has been crowned top dog for Libby Coker’s Canines of Corangamite calendar. The exuberant seven-year-old pooch from Armstrong Creek caught the eye of many, with her captivating airborne moment winning the coveted People’s Choice Award. The joyous image of Maisie defying gravity will feature in April, while 11 other finalists won the honour of being pin-up pooches throughout next year. Federal Member for Corangamite Libby Coker said her office had received a huge response of talented and gorgeous dogs for the 2024 calendar with more than 200 entries. Maisie’s owner Ethan Cook said the winning photograph features Maisie in pursuit of a ball on a walking track in the Otway Ranges National Park. Mr Cook, a teacher at Nelson Park School in Geelong, said Maisie was used to performing in front of the camera. “As I work as a media arts teacher for special needs students, she often features in lots of the kids’ short films and adores working with them,” he said. He said his adventurous pooch’s love of tennis balls was unparalleled and each throw was an “opportunity for flight”. Ms Coker said she wanted the calendar to celebrate the bond people have with their four-legged friends and the extraordinary moments that can happen right in our own beautiful backyard. “As a pet lover myself, I appreciate the depth of the human-animal bond and how it affects our health and well-being,” she said. Ethan and his family will receive a $100 voucher to spend at The Salty Dog Cafe, Torquay.
An exploration of radical hope An eminent history professor will visit Geelong this weekend to present one of Geelong Museum Association’s Sunday Series of talks focused on an important Indigenous figure. Emeritus Professor Richard Broome AM, a recognised authority on Aboriginal history in Australia, will present A Different Courage - Billibellary and Radical Hope at the National Wool Museum from 1.30pm to 3pm on Sunday, November 26. A leading Kulin Elder and one of eight to sign a treaty with John Batman in 1835, Billibellary was a Wurundjeri man whose lands stretched over 70 kilometres from what is now the eastern suburbs of Melbourne to Lancefield north-west of the city. Billibellary’s response to European colonisation was to attempt to adapt and work with the Europeans in an attempt to minimise the negative effects of their arrival. Prof Broome said Billibellary’s strategy was an important one among a wide range of responses. “Those responses (to European colonisation) varied between resistance – physical resistance, cultural resistance – and all of those take courage,” he said. “Billibellary had a different tack, which was to change and transform to remain the same, to continue Aboriginal culture into the future. In terms of how to deal with the whitefellas… Billibellary set up a line of strategy that was followed by his son Simon Wonga, and by his nephew William Barak.” Admission to the event is by gold coin donation, with afternoon tea provided.

YOUR SAY We need to take care
After WWII, there was a large number of European Jewish refugees, and Britain, which was essentially anti-semitic, didn’t want a large influx of Jewish refugees. So Britain came up with a solution of allowing the establishment of a Jewish state in it’s then occupied state of Palestine, that resulted in the displacement of thousands of Palestinians from their traditional homelands. Since the establishment of Israel, Britain and the United States have supported Israel’s continued expansion and its occupation of Palestinian territories. Since 1967, Israel has occupied the Palestinian territories of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank resulting in a long period of human rights abuses. The current war has seen human rights abuses and war crimes by both Palestine and Israel. It is now incumbent on Britain and the United States to solve the problem that they created and find a lasting solution to stop the human suffering.
Why would any nursing home object to the family of a resident installing security cameras in their loved one’s private room? Answer – because it might expose the lack of care being provided to that family member by staff members. Those who have nothing to hide have nothing to fear. The notion that the privacy rights of staff members/employees trump the rights of often defenceless and highly vulnerable residents is totally unacceptable. Particularly after the horrific 2021 findings of the Royal Commision into Aged Care Quality and Safety which revealed that a serious lack of care, including both physical and psychological violence, was not uncommon in nursing homes.

Cash for cans flawed In regard to the story on the Container Deposit Scheme story in the latest edition of the Independent (‘Counting on big change’, 10 November, 2023), it’s a great idea that should have been introduced to Victoria many years ago. I am a ‘scrappy’ myself having been collecting scrap metal since the early 1970s. God only knows how many cans and tons of other metals I’ve picked up in all those years. One thing that is not mentioned is that items eligible for the 10 cent refund that are sold have been increased by 10 or 15 cents. An example is a 2 litre bottle of Coke at Coles or Woolworths used to cost $3.50, now that same item is $3.65. Other items I’ve noticed are up by 10 cents such as 1 litre containers of Golden

Another gender equity win A Geelong business has once again been recognised at the National Gender Equity Awards for helping promote gender equity in the workplace. Coulter Legal took out the Recalibrate Gender Equity Award for the second year by winning the SME Business category on Wednesday, November 15, at Melbourne’s Crown Casino. The law firm was recognised for its innovative ideas, including women promoted to partner while on parental leave, and accommodating them in a part-time and hybrid partner role. Managing principal Anne O’Loughlin said it was important that women had the same opportunities and level of respect as men regardless of their industry. “Winning such an award is the culmination of a strongly held commitment by Coulter Legal to achieve gender equity,” she said. “I am so proud to lead our amazing Coulter Legal team and I know we can continue to achieve great things in the gender equity space.” Hospitality company The Ascott won the winning medium company category for its paid menopausal and menstrual leave and groundbreaking parental leave policy. Workplace Gender Equity Agency’s Penelope Cottrill spoke at the event and described it as giving people time to reflect and appreciate their efforts. “It is a time of change with new policies rolling out and the opportunity to collaborate & learn what others are doing,” she said.

Leopold tennis upgrade begins By Matt Hewson The Leopold Tennis Pavilion redevelopment is underway, with the old facilities at Leopold Memorial Reserve being levelled this week. Thanks to $1 million in funding from the Victorian government and $720,000 from the City of Greater Geelong the Leopold Tennis Club will have a pavilion to match its newly refurbished courts. The previous clubrooms, built in the 1970s,
had only a small kitchenette and no toilet or change room facilities. The new pavilion will feature a function and social area, kitchen, storage space, female-friendly showers and toilets and an accessible public toilet, in addition to a new playground at the south end of the reserve. Leopold Tennis Club coach Ry Davies said the addition of toilets and change rooms would make a huge difference to club members. “Up until now we had public toilets with no
toilet seat, which we had to walk across the carpark to use,” Mr Davies said. “It’ll be nice to have these toilets and showers, to be as inclusive for the community as we can be. We’re all excited; it’ll be great for the club and help it grow.” Bellarine Ward Councillor Jim Mason said providing a variety of healthy recreational activities across the Bellarine ward is a high priority for Council. “This project marks a significant milestone
in the ongoing commitment to promote and support grassroots sports and recreational activities within the region,” Councillor Mason said. “I have no doubt that the enhancements in store for the Leopold Tennis Pavilion will elevate it to a sporting facility, dedicated to serving our community’s sporting aspirations for generations to come.” Bellarine MP Alison Marchant said the Leopold Tennis Pavilion Redevelopment would help encourage people to get fit, active, and involved in local sport.
Top award for Libby A Nelson Park School principal has taken out the Outstanding Specialist School Principal Award for her dedication to educating students with a disability. Minister for Education Ben Carroll awarded Libby Gatgens the Principal’s Association of Specialist Schools (PASS) Awards at the Marvel Stadium on Friday, November 17. Ms Gatgens said she was “grateful and thrilled to accept the award” that recognised her 36-year career in special education. “Our kids and community are wonderful and it’s just that recognition of the work that we do...and I see us as being a leader and being recognised for that,” she said. “My favourite part (about being a principal) is that I get to see the kids absolutely flourish and achieve amazing things in the time that they’re at school with us.” Ms Gatgens said she never did “anything in isolation” as she was a team player with her staff and community and loved to “come to work every day”. “I do see the role as being vital and
fundamental to the success of the school because it’s a way that you collaboratively work with your community,” she said. “Nelson Park is an amazing environment. I think that my staff to do amazing work and they are just so committed to their work. So, I think I’m really lucky.” Mr Carroll said every child deserved the best education and was proud to help support the region’s specialist schools to deliver support and education to every student. “These schools are the backbone of their communities and continue to transform many lives,” he said. “I congratulate all the PASS Awards winners and nominees for their outstanding efforts in supporting the education of students with disability.” Jena Carr Nelson Park School principal Libby Gatgens, middle, has won the Outstanding Specialist School Principal Award for her work in helping educate students.

Richmond has prevented 135 tonnes of food waste going to landfill, cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 224 tonnes,” Mr Mikedis said.
Community members interested in having their say on new regulations for development in the north end of Pakington Street have less than two weeks left to get involved. Applications for the Pakington North Precinct Community Panel, a body composed of those who live, visit and work in the area who will co-design Pako’s new Urban Design Framework (UDF), close at 11.59pm on Wednesday, December 6. A council statement said while interest in the panel had been “significant”, it needed more applications from people in a range of categories, including those under 24, people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin and those born overseas. The UDF adoption process has so far been marked by community opposition, and the community panel represents the final chance for the public to have its say. The session schedule, facilitated by Capire Consulting, will consist of six sessions of two to five hours in length between February and April next year. Mayor Trent Sullivan thanked the community members who had already applied for the community panel. “We encourage anyone else considering applying to come forward, as we want to have a diverse range of voices in this collaborative approach,” he said. “The City wants to hear the community’s vision for the area and also increase understanding of how a UDF will facilitate enhancements and sustainable development.” Visit you rsay.geelongaust ra l ia .com.au / pakonorthcommunitypanel to apply or for more information.

Epworth Geelong has implemented a new system to convert its tonnes of food waste into compost, with long term plans to use the waste to generate electricity. Thanks to the support of the Percy Baxter Charitable Trust, the hospital has installed a Wastemaster food waste dehydrator, which converts and compacts food waste into a much-smaller amount of reusable material. The Wastemaster dehydrator removes water from a broad range of food waste, reducing it to a powdery, high-nutrient residue. Epworth Geelong executive general manager Leonie Lloyd said the Wastemaster, which is already processing about 150kg of food waste a day, was an example of the hospital’s commitment to sustainable practices. “We completed an independent sustainability audit at Epworth Geelong, which found one of the biggest contributors to our carbon emissions was food waste from the kitchen,” Ms Lloyd said. “Previously, tens of thousands of kilograms of food offcuts were being taken from the kitchen at Epworth Geelong to landfill.” Epworth HealthCare Group sustainability manager Simon Mikedis said the residue will be used in nutrient-rich compost created at a City of Greater Geelong facility. “The compost will be used in local parks and reserves, so it’s a win-win for Epworth and the City of Greater Geelong,” Mr Mikedis said. “Longer term, we will partner with an anaerobic facility so food waste residue can produce electricity to power homes.” Epworth Richmond became the first hospital in Victoria to install a Wastemaster system last year, converting more than 36,000 kilograms of kitchen waste from Epworth Richmond to residue in its first year of operation.

Cause for celebration: Jimmy Barnes helps mark 50 years of Mushroom Records.
You’ve got to hand it to Nick Knowles (pictured): the English presenter really knows how to match his attire to his location. Sporting a fetching shirt that echoes the golden orange and brown hues of the majestic Grand Canyon, you could say he chose fashion over function. In this action-packed adventure through the millenia-old rock formation, Knowles braves a zipline on the South Rim, helps restore the endangered condor population and explores the breathtaking caves. It’s worth noting that Knowles had a ”seriously terrifying” ordeal while filming: he became wedged in one of the narrow caves and had to be rescued. He’s definitely one dedicated, fashion-forward host. BIG BROTHER Seven, Monday, 8.30pm
In the early 2000s, this homegrown version of the Dutch reality TV juggernaut hooked the nation. Then hosted by the biting, comically deadpan Gretel Killeen, along with mischievous narration from comedian Mike Goldman, the innocent housemates were unburdened by an awareness of how well the hidden cameras captured their every move and remark; it was a compelling, cheeky peek into the minds and motivations of 20-somethings. In this 16th season, the housemates know the game inside-out. Host Sonia Kruger (pictured) looks stylish, but there’s otherwise little pizazz, with the romance-heavy matters easily mistaken for Love Island Australia.

Councillor Melissa Cadwell, Chair of the Women in Community Life Advisory Committee, agreed that the City should support increasing awareness of, and stamping out, gender-based violence. “Choosing not to laugh at jokes that put women down helps create a culture where women are respected,” Cr Cadwell said. “Each of us has a role to play. By challenging harmful behaviours early, we can prevent violence before it starts; we can work together
to create a future where all women are safe, equal, and respected. “As a community, we must challenge harmful attitudes in our workplaces, homes, sports clubs, community groups and relationships.” Visit www.respectvictoria.vic.gov.au/ campaigns for more information on 16 Days of Activism.To find a family violence support service visit www.geelongaustralia.com.au/ fv for the City’s Family Violence Information Hub.
Students ready to ride Geelong Grammar will be sending the biggest school contingent to the 2023 Great Vic Bike Ride this week. The school will send its entire Year 8 cohort of 120 students to take part in the nine-day, 540km ride, which will wend its way through Gippsland from Orbost to Wonthaggi from Saturday, November 25 to Sunday, December 3. Having taken part in every Great Vic Bike Ride since 1994, Geelong Grammar has traditionally made taking part in the ride optional for Year 8 students. This year, the school decided to send the entire year level on the ride, doubling the number of participants from last year. Geelong Grammar’s head of adventure education Laura Kearley said the experience would serve as the ideal preparation for Year 9 at the school’s Timbertop campus near Mount Buller, where students board for the full year without phones or personal technological devices. “We found students who go on Great Vic are the most confident at Timbertop,” Ms Kearley
said. “The nine days away from their families and technology creates interactions that are face-to-face. “The relationships they build in their riding also broaden their social networks. All of this is excellent preparation for Timbertop.” Ms Kearly said participating in the Great Vic Bike Ride gave students a greater sense of confidence and a belief they can “push through when things are hard”. “They find that when they’re 100km into a ride, that they do have more in them and this gives them a great boost for life,” she said. “It also develops their sense of compassion, to see others struggling and know they’re all in it together.”

Robin Brockett’s a hall of famer Scotchmans Hill chief winemaker Robin Brockett, 62, was inducted into the Wine Geelong Hall of Fame. Jena Carr speaks with the Drysdale man about his 35-year winemaking journey, which took him from his birthplace in New Zealand to the Bellarine Peninsula. When Robin Brockett was a teenager living in New Zealand, the wine industry was still a young and emerging culture. Robin first got introduced to winemaking through his mother, who used to make homemade wine, and the industry has had a hold on him ever since. “I used to help her with making all that and never did I think I’d end up being a wine maker, when I was 13 or 14 making fruit wines with my mother,” he said. “I started going to an agricultural college studying agricultural finance, and I thought I’d end up working in a bank or something like that. “After I did one year of the course, I had to do a year practical as part of the degree, and I went and worked on the first vineyard winery in Canterbury, where I’m from in Christchurch.” After a scholarship led Robin to study at New South Wales’ Charles Sturt University,

It’s a strong family feeling between all of them. “If some of the wineries do very well, it helps enhance the reputation of the whole region and helps grow people’s perception. “There’s no point us making great wine if nobody else does. We’re all competitors, but the better we all do, the better it is for everybody.” At this year’s Geelong Wine Show annual awards dinner on Friday, November 17, Robin received the honour of being inducted into the Wine Geelong Hall of Fame. As part of the induction, he will have his name added to the hand-carved honour board on display at the Geelong Cellar Door on Little Malop Street. “It’s a great privilege and something that’s not given out very often. There’s only been a handful of people that it has occurred too,” he said. “It’s not every year that someone locally gets that, so it’s something I’m very proud of...and it’s a real recognition of having a part in the development of the industry over the last 30-40 years.
Robin Brockett has worked at Scotchmans Hill for 35 years.
“I have been a part of the progression and development of the industry and have had quite a bit to do with quite a few of the others in the region over that period. “The industry has really changed a lot to a degree from where I started at the grassroots, and I think I’ve been able to help progress that through to where the industry is today.” Robin said one of his favourite parts about
making wine was seeing people enjoy what he made, and people using the wines for special occasions. When he isn’t making wine, he said he loved riding the rail trail from Drysdale to Queenscliff and spending time with family. “I enjoy seeing the change of seasons, getting out in the garden and, I’ve got a couple of grandkids now, so spending time with them and family, that’s what I enjoy the most,” he said. “Most winemakers think they’ve got the best job in the world. You get to have a lot of fun and travel, but it’s a lot of hard work as well. “Every year is different as well. We have great years and good years, but because it’s farming, you’re at the mercy of the weather. “In the last few years, we’ve had a really good run with the quality of wines, but the wines are getting better and better out of this region. “I’m getting better as I get older... and I don’t see myself retiring as I enjoy what I do too much. I’ve worked with a lot of great people, and that’s probably the most enjoyable thing.”

he moved to Victoria and started working at Scotchmans Hill Winery in 1988. “When I first came here, there were only three vineyards on the Bellarine Peninsula and no wineries,” he said. “It’s quite a young industry, and younger people probably think there’s always been vineyards and wineries. “Wine wasn’t really part of the culture in the 70s or 80s around New Zealand or Australia. It really started to grow in the 80s and boomed in the 90s to where we are today. “It was more pioneering, and today’s industry is close to four to five times bigger than it was 40 to 50 years ago. “It’s been a dramatic development in the industry...and it’s something that really boomed through the 90s and 2000s. It looks very different today to what it did back then.” For 35 years, the 62-year-old chief winemaker has seen the Drysdale winery grow from a small vineyard to a business producing great wines surrounded by a growing industry. “I thought I’d be here two or three years and 35 years later, I’m still here,” he said. “When I started here, the vineyards, even though they were young, hadn’t been that well looked after. “I managed to get those up and going, and then in the 1990s, I started making the wines here at Scotchmans Hill. “I’ve also had a lot to do with other wineries in the region as a lot of people I have worked with over the years work in other places now.

Works start on damaged road

Lights on at Lawn Tennis By Matt Hewson The Geelong Lawn Tennis Club celebrated the upgrade of its old lighting system this week with a Switching On ceremony at the Belmont complex. The upgrades saw all of the club’s existing lights, old metal-halide lamps, replaced with new LED lighting. The project was partly funded by the club ($64,000) with significant assistance from the City of Greater Geelong through its Community Grants program to the tune of $128,000. The installation of the new LED lighting
system is primarily to help the club increase its night participation rates for both competition and coaching. Club vice president Andrew Alexander said the whole club was excited about the new lights switching on. “The lights that we had were quite old and dated and the amount of light output they produced was pretty poor,” he said. “So it’s a dramatic improvement to the quality of lighting to allow young members but also older members to play tennis, especially in winter months, during the night time.” He said in addition to driving night participation, the lights would also increase safety and deliver savings to the club’s
power bill. “(The system is) also just really to operate; there’s an app the manager and staff can use to turn lights on and off, and whereas the old lights used to take half an hour to work properly, these LEDs are literally instant,” he said. Mr Alexander encouraged members of the public to come down and try out the courts for themselves, as they are available for use at a nominal fee. He also thanked former committee member and local architect Bill Hunter for his tireless work in preparing the club’s application for the grant over many months.
Horseshoe Bend Road will be closed as works begin to repair the section of the road severely damaged during last year’s major flooding. Surf Coast Shire Council awarded a tender for the project that would take place at Mount Duneed’s Thompson Creek Bridge, with the road expected to be closed until April 2024. Councillor Rose Hodge said the project’s contractors would make every effort to ensure the works are advanced enough to open a section of the road for the Christmas and peak summer period. “We know the road closure has impacted many, so thank you for your continued patience,” she said. “We apologise for the time this project has taken and assure you that we are focused on completing these important repair works as soon as possible. “The repair works have been delayed for a number of reasons including an initial delay in getting the geotechnical assessment completed due to high demand following widespread flooding, as well as issues encountered during the planning and design process.” The Horseshoe Bend Road reconstruction works will include a new guardrail and will factor in the potential impact of future extreme rain events. Council has also undertaken culvert repairs at Moriac’s Ervins Road, with the road now open and works almost complete, and Winchelsea’s Armytage Road, with works complete. Freshwater Creek’s Blackgate Road has also been identified for repair and is currently awaiting materials.

for energy Sailor girl festival ready Win partnership Australian sailing personality Nicole Douglass, aka the Sailor Girl, has signed on for Geelong’s iconic Festival of Sails for the second year in a row. A former two-time World and six-time Australian champion in the Tasar class who is now a commentator, presenter and PR consultant, Douglass will serve as ambassador and master of ceremonies for the event, which runs from January 26 to 28. Douglass’ company Adventures of a Sailor Girl will also officially become the media partner of the festival. The sailor turned media personality said her love of the Festival of Sails sprang from her early memories of competing in the event. “I sailed the Festival of Sails in 2006, 2007 and 2008,” Douglass said. “They were actually my first race weeks and yacht regattas, as I came from a dinghy background. “What really struck me back then and continues to do so, is the great atmosphere of the event. There is so much happening on the water, and on the shore, it is hard not to have a good time at the Festival of Sails.” Festival chair Paul Buchholz said having Douglass return as the event’s ambassador for the second year was great for the festival. “She will be everything from our emcee for daily presentations to our racing commentator, and will document the race action and shoreside activities as part of our media team, as well as being the official media partner to showcase everything the event has to offer to local, national and international audiences,” Mr Buchholz said. “With consistent feedback from participants on the fantastic camaraderie that the Festival of Sails fosters, this event is as much about community and social connection as it is about sailing, and we know that the Sailor Girl is very much about helping sailors connect.”
Barwon Health received acknowledgement for its recent renewable energy partnership at the Victorian Public Healthcare Awards (VPHA) last week. The Barwon Renewable Energy Partnership (B-REP), which consists of Barwon Health, Barwon Water and GeelongPort, won the VPHA award for ‘Creating a sustainable and climate resilient health system’ for its efforts toward net zero and using 100 per cent renewable electricity. In August last year B-REP entered into a 10-year power purchase agreement with the Mount Gellibrand Wind Farm near Birregurra, which will deliver 68 gigawatt hours of renewable energy every year. The VPHA award follows the Institute of Public Administration leadership award the partnership won for the Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation category in June this year. Barwon Health chief executive Frances Diver said the award was fantastic recognition for an innovative example of public sector collaboration to support the region’s transition to renewable energy. “Hospitals and health services consume a large amount of energy, and we believe agreements like this can significantly reduce carbon footprints and help our communities become more sustainable and healthier,” she said. Barwon Health was also a finalist in the Excellence in Aboriginal Health and Wellbeing category for an innovative project to improve early detection and intervention of ear problems for Aboriginal infants in the Geelong region, in partnership with the Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative.

MOTOR
It’s a case of carry on, Corolla By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring When the first Corolla made landfall in Australia in 1966, few people would have predicted half a century later the tiny vehicle, through sedan, hatch and wagon, becoming the world’s most popular car. Former Toyota Australia executive Rex Gilham, one of the men responsible for bringing Corollas Down Under, says just 15 cars were in the first shipment in November 1966, the first vehicles to be exported from Japan. These went on sale in 1967. A year later, first locally produced models left Australian Motor Industries’ plant in Port Melbourne, which previously had built Standard Triumph and Mercedes-Benz vehicles among others. Now, along comes a Cross version, a family-friendly small SUV squatting alongside the C-HR between the smaller Yaris Cross and family favourite RAV4. The all-new Corolla Cross comes to market in three grades – GX, GXL, and Atmos – in petrol and petrol/electric hybrid and two- or all-wheel drive. Prices open at $33,000 for the GX petrol 2WD, with hybrid adding $2500. Then comes three GLXs in petrol and hybrid in two- or all-wheel drive and on to range-topping Atmos, again in petrol and hybrid, signing off at $49,050. All totals are without on-road costs. On test was the GX hybrid at $35,500, which like all Corolla Crosses, is the first Toyota in Australia to feature the new-generation Toyota multimedia system. The Corolla Cross is covered by Toyota Warranty Advantage, which offers up to five years unlimited kilometre coverage extending to seven-years on engine and driveline, with capped-price servicing for the first five years/75,000 km and each 12-month/15,000 km service costing $230.
Something old, something new, there’s no stopping the latest Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. (Pictures: Supplied)
Styling The GX is distinguished on the outside by 17-inch alloy wheels, LED head and tail-lights, automatic high beam, daytime running lights, heated and auto retractable door mirrors and a shark fin antenna. Character lines flow from the bonnet to the taillights. Black wheel arch and sill mouldings denote the vehicle’s SUV intent with a hatch-top spoiler adding a sporty look. The trapezoidal radiator grille is repeated at the rear with the taillight shape, while the rear fenders present a flared and tapered look, not least to the narrowed roofline and shape of the tailgate around the numberplate.

speed sign assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and reversing camera lead to a five-star ANCAP safety rating.
Interior The Corolla Cross cabin mostly mirrors the Corolla hatch and sedan, with a roomier and airier space that retains the sharp styling and convenient layout of its siblings. The GX comes standard with automatic climate control, a 7-inch digital multi-information display, electric park brake, smart entry and start, fabric seats, 60:40 split-folding rear seats and a luggage cover. The interior offers a wide, spacious feel, thanks to extra headroom and greater vision of the Corolla Cross. Compared to the sedan, the eye level for drivers sits 130mm higher, allowing for excellent visibility all round. An extra 43mm of front headroom is available compared to the sedan, with an additional 81mm for rear passengers. Corolla Cross offers 436 litres of boot space with the rear seat-backs in place in GX and GXL petrol models. For Atmos petrol, and GX and GXL 2WD hybrid, rear boot space is slightly less at 425 litres.
Infotainment The Corolla Cross is the first Toyota in Australia to feature the new-generation Toyota multimedia system. This can be controlled via an 8-inch touchscreen display or steering wheel controls, and offers wireless Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, DAB+ digital radio and quality sound reproduction from a six-speaker audio system. Through the myToyota Connect app, owners can undertake such things as remotely checking the status of the doors and lights, access information such as the vehicle’s last known location and recent trips, or start the engine or climate control. The first 12 months are complimentary, thereafter a basic connection fee of $9.95 a month or $12.50 including multi-media functions.
Engines/transmissions
Driving Family friendly fits the bill here. As mentioned above, driving the Corolla Cross compared to its sibling sedans and hatchbacks takes on a new level of comfort and convenience through extra cabin dimensions and cabin glass. Ease of handling at low speeds adds to the confidence of parking in small spaces. Pity about the absence of parking sensors and 360-degree camera. On the road, the Corolla Cross gets under way under electric power, the petrol motor cutting in to lend a hand with any load increase and to help charge the battery, the latter continues under deceleration and braking. Revving hard the motor is noisy. Mated with a CVT, there’s nothing spectacular, just a competent feel. Fuel consumption of the test GX, with help from only one electric motor, returned values of between 4.3 and 4.9 litres per 100 kilometres over a range of town-and country driving conditions. Needless to say, the maker claims the lower value on the combined urban/ highway cycle. The ride is comfortable and there is a lack of surprises in handling capability. The steering is light but accurate in pointing the car in the right direction.
Summary Issues such as the pandemic, semiconductor chip shortages, plus supply chain problems have stopped manufacturers like Toyota keeping cars flowing into Australia. The Corolla Cross is no exception, with wait times from six months for the 2WD petrol, extending to two years for the range-topping Atmos AWD Hybrid. It’s a far cry from the smooth Toyota terrain of the past, more’s the pity. AT A GLANCE MODEL RANGE Corolla Cross GX Petrol: $33,000
Hybrid 2WD versions of the Corolla Cross employ a 2-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine teamed with an electric motor on the front axle for a combined maximum power output of 146 kW. The all-wheel drives add a second electric motor on the rear axle, with consumption, according to Toyota, staying as low as 4.4 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined cycle test.

Grovers increase lead an evenly contested match. Adam Martin won a rink for Eastern Park to give his side two points, but Cal Inderberg got home by three and Mark Godbolt by eight to propel Drysdale to second place. Eastern Park remains winless, but the performance will give it a lot of confidence knowing it can match it with any side. Queenscliff made it a trifecta of Bellarine sides occupying the top three rungs on the ladder by beating Bell Post Hill. Ray Butler had the biggest win with a nine-shot triumph as Queenscliff strode to a 24 to 15 win. Ben Toner pulled one back for Bell Post
Ocean Grove increased its lead on top of the Geelong Bowls Region Premier Division ladder with a big win against Highton in round four. The Grovers took all 16 points in a 74 to 50 victory with two rinks being evenly contested. Matt Flapper overcame Dan Priddle by four shots and Peter Loe got over the line against David Priddle by six. It was Bradley Pavey’s rink of Craig Rippon, Callum Hanna and Tyson Cromie that cemented the result with a 30 to 16 win. Ocean Grove is nine points clear of Drysdale on the ladder while Highton dropped to fifth. Drysdale defeated Eastern Park 60 to 54 in
Hill, but Benjamin Russell won by four. City of Geelong caused somewhat of a minor upset with a 27-shot win against Bareena. Karl Weil won a rink for Bareena and Zane Lugg won a close one over John Snell for City. It was Lee Greening’s rink that separated the two sides with a mammoth 43 to 10 win to give City a 75 to 48 win and 14 precious points. This week Drysdale hosts Queenscliff in the match of the round. Bell Post Hill hosts Eastern Park in a battle of the sides at the other end of the ladder while City of Geelong travels to Ocean Grove and Bareena entertains Highton.

Oli Wiltshire takes a screamer for Barwon Heads this season against Drysdale. (Ivan Kemp) 355585_02
Wells plucks mature age players Geelong recruiting manager Stephen Wells plucked a 26-year-old and an untried Barwon Heads star out of Tuesday night’s AFL draft. The Cats added six players to their list from the draft, including mature age small forward Shaun Mannagh with pick 36 and Barwon Heads product Oli Wiltshire with 61. Mannagh was best afield in this year’s VFL grand final for Werribee with six goals and 28 touches. “Shaun has deserved a chance to be on an AFL list, we think, based on a number of years of performances,” Wells said. “It became evident to us that we wanted him on our list, and we think he can make an impact straight away. At the end of the year when he played in the grand final, it became a bit of a priority for us.” Barwon Heads premiership star Wiltshire was the surprise of the draft and Wells hoped the 21-year-old would continue to develop. “That’s the plan and hope,” he said. “Oli’s had a go at the Falcons a couple of years ago. He didn’t quite make it there but his skill and football brain on display at Barwon Heads over the past couple of years has been outstanding and he deserves his chance.” The Cats selected Murray Bushrangers tall Connor O’Sullivan with its first pick at number 11. The 198cm O’Sullivan said Cats fans would see his “competitiveness” and versatility. “Forward and back, I like to run and get on my bike,” he said. O’Sullivan said he enjoyed watching Jeremy Cameron from a forward perspective and Harris Andrew and Sam Taylor as defenders. Geelong picked 206cm Mitchell Edwards from Peel Thunder with its second pick at number 32. One of the key ruck prospects in the draft, and a Fremantle Next Generation Product, Edwards is renowned for his marking around the ground. Geelong also added big-bodied midfielder George Stevens with pick 58 and Swan Districts Indigenous talent Lawson Humphries with 63. Justin Flynn Friday, 24 November, 2023 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 29

Cats hang on in semi-final thriller Geelong held off Melbourne’s charge in a pulsating last term to win its AFLW semi-final by five points. The Demons’ Lauren Pearce grabbed the ball out of a ruck contest and snapped, with her shot narrowly missing inside the last minute on Sunday at Ikon Park. Had she kicked a goal, the match would have gone into extra time. Instead the Cats eliminated the reigning premiers, 7.8 (50) to 6.9 (45), and will face home side Brisbane on Saturday night in a preliminary final. Geelong’s only other preliminary final was in 2019, under the defunct conference system. North Melbourne will host Adelaide on Sunday at Ikon Park in the other preliminary final. The Cats led by as much as 32 points in the third term and had a 30-point lead at three-quarter time. With Lions coach Craig Starcevich a spectator at the game, Melbourne kicked three goals in the first six minutes of the last quarter to make it a contest. Aimee Macklin’s goal after 19 minutes – Melbourne’s fifth to Geelong’s one in the last
term – reduced the margin to six points before Pearce went so close to tying the scores. Star Geelong midfielder Nina Morrison, who was off the ground at the end of the game, was best afield with 29 possessions and 10 clearances. Eliza West, dropped for the first time in her career last week, starred for Melbourne with 28 disposals. Melbourne forward Eden Zanker, goalless for the last two games after kicking 22 for the season, came alive in the last quarter with three. Melbourne, the AFLW’s highest-scoring team this season, went goalless in the first quarter as Geelong took immediate control. It meant the Demons had managed only one goal in seven quarters. That nearly stretched to eight, until Maddison Gay marked and kicked a booming goal from 40m after the half-time siren. Gay’s badly needed goal reduced the margin to 19 points and kept Melbourne in the game. By contrast the Cats were outstanding in the first half, with Morrison running amok
through the midfield. Amy McDonald kicked the first two goals of the game in the opening eight minutes - also the first time she has kicked multiple goals. In last week’s qualifying final, Melbourne had no answer to North Melbourne’s tackling pressure. On Sunday, it was Geelong closing down Melbourne’s run and picking them off as the Demons tried to clear out of defence. Melbourne started the second half much better and for a few minutes, it looked like it would build on Gay’s half-time goal. But the Demons could not capitalise and instead Geelong’s Julia Crocket-Grills kicked the first goal of the third term. When former Melbourne player Shelley Scott snapped accurately at eight minutes, the Cats looked home before the Demons’ final-quarter fightback. Geelong’s preliminary final against Brisbane is on Saturday November 25 at Brighton Homes Arena at 7.45pm (6.45pm local time). Coverage on Channel 7. – AAP
Grand finals run and won LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers Tennis Geelong’s Tuesday Midweek certainly left the best until last with this week’s grand finals in both the weather and the results. The sun was out and so was the quality of tennis with many of the results not decided until the last set. Surfcoast Bellbrae and Geelong Lawn Pink have been neck and neck all season in Section 1 and Tuesday was no different with the result tied on sets and only three games separating the teams. Pink started well winning three of the first four sets, before Bellbrae fought back winning the sixth set 6-1, but Pink’s Lynda Nixon and Ida Durran forced Bellbrae’s Kristie Walters and Colleen Battye to a tie-break, which levelled the sets, but the extra games earning Pink the flag. Surfcoast also had a hard time when Jan Juc came up against Drysdale in Section 5. The home team started well winning the first two sets 6-3, 7-5, but from there Drysdale took control winning the final four sets upsetting the minor premiers in their first loss of the season. Surfcoast Torquay Yellow had a much better day in their Section 4 match against Barwon Heads. Things were hard to pick going into the match, with their previous encounter being decided by only one game, however, Yellow came out firing and had the biggest win for the day, not dropping a set and limiting the Heads to 16 games. Surfcoast made it three wins for the day, when Torquay had a come from behind win against minor premiers Highton Blue. The teams had scored one win each during the home and away season and were only separated by percentage after the last round, so it was likely to be a thrilling match. Highton won the first two sets 6-1, 6-3 before Torquay countered taking the next two sets 6-3, 6-4. Highton held a three- game lead going into the final two sets, and up until match points the result was in question. In the end Torquay won two nail biters 7-5, 7-6 to take a four sets to two win, by only two games. Grovedale would have been nervous coming up against Ocean Grove in Section 2, despite finishing fourth after the home and away matches, as the Grove had won both encounters. Grovedale started well winning the first two sets 6-4, 6-3, however Ocean Grove fought back taking the next two 6-3, 6-2 giving them a two game buffer going into the final two sets. 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 24 November, 2023

Lisa Graham and Belinda Lee won the fifth set for Grovedale 6-2, while Courtney Pallero and Kahlee Rennes did the same for Ocean Grove, leaving Ocean Grove winners by the same two games. In Section 7, Grovedale also faced a tough match against rivals St Mary’s. Grovedale had two wins through the season, but their last encounter was a 5-1 win to St Mary’s, so things were bound to be tight. This proved to be the case with the teams tied on sets and games after four sets. Steph Thomas and Heather Graham
won the fifth for Grovedale 6-4, then with Laura and Ann Rowan winning the sixth for St Mary’s in a tiebreak, the teams finished level on sets, but Grovedale ahead by just one game. St Mary’s also missed out when they faced Western Heights Uniting in Section 6. St Mary’s started strong winning the first two sets 6-4, 6-4, but with the memory of last summer’s 5-1 defeat in the Section 7 grand final in their mind, Uniting steeled their nerve and won the remaining four sets dropping only five games to take the victory.

Patience is the key for local anglers ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos Some testing weather is making it difficult to get out for a fish over this past week but anglers sneaking out in small weather windows and having a shot are being rewarded. The outer harbour has plenty on the go as far as variety of species is concerned with King George whiting starting to come back on the radar. They aren’t exactly going crazy like some anglers have been reporting. The fishing being relatively slow with smallish fish and other reports of good numbers. It’s just a matter of getting out there and having a crack. Curlewis through to Portarlington has plenty of good ground well worth having a go around. Australian salmon have been spontaneously busting up on baitfish around the outer harbour also feeding on small baitfish so having a light rod rigged with a plastic or metal is very handy. Snapper have remained consistent this past week with most reports seeming to come from anglers casting soft plastics. Structures and reefs have been holding plenty of nice fish, Alcoa pier is a great spot for this sort of fishing. Casting around 3 to 5 inch plastics have been successful. Also expect to pick up plenty of other species such as salmon, flathead, whiting, snook and maybe even a cheeky kingfish on a hot day off Alcoa. Bait fishermen have been picking up seemingly a few less fish but the quality is far better. Stefan Uzur from Trellys Geelong fishing alongside Aleks Vasic landed a solid fish coming in at 88cm weighing a healthy 7kg on the dot. The fish was taken on a Supa Pilchard. Around the corner of the Bellarine Peninsula towards St Leonards and Queenscliff has seen the whiting and squid really turn on the chew with anglers getting stuck into plenty of both species and of course Gone Fishing Charters getting right into the thick of it. Offshore Barwon Heads has also had some great fishing on offer with snapper in great numbers along the 50 metre line with a few gummy sharks thrown into the mix. Drifting along with paternoster rigs baited with squid, salmon or salmon has been working well. It’s coming into summer so don’t be too surprised to find a kingy out there whilst chasing snapper and it also pays to have stick bait or jig rigged up at all times cause you just don’t know what could happen out there this time of year.

Heat racks up solid second win By Justin Flynn Highton’s second win of the Geelong Cricket Association season propelled it back into finals contention and skipper Nathan McCoach said his side still had some improving to do. The Heat knocked over a spirited Lara by 44 runs after declaring on 9/298, piloted by a masterful 126 by Greg Willows, and knocking over the Cats for 254. “We haven’t had as many wins as we would have liked, but I think we’ve been pretty close,” McCoach said. “We were super happy with our batting innings. A few of the boys at the top made starts and then Greg finally got over the line with his hundred. “We still think there’s a bit of improvement in us, especially with our bowling. It was good to win even though we’re not playing our best because that’s what good sides do.” A fine opening stand between Casey Young and Jhiah Baxter gave Lara every chance of its second win. Spinner Fionn Neeson found a way through Baxter’s defence for a well-made 64 from 74 balls while Young went on to compile a brilliant 99 from 158 that included 10 boundaries and four sixes. McCoach said Young deserved a century, but was deceived by leg-spinner Brady Somers’ wrong-un and played a leading edge to Willows at mid-wicket. “They’ve got some pretty good players like (Daniel) Weigl and then (Kaden) Marum coming in at five and (Robert) Sodomaco at six,” he said. “They can all bat really well and

Casey Young was probably the key wicket. He batted superbly with plenty of patience.” A middle-order partnership between Sodomaco (27) and Edward Kol (16) gave Lara a glimmer of hope, but Somers and Neeson combined for five wickets and McCoach grabbed two, including the final wicket of the day to give Highton the points. Seamer Errol Burns was at his nagging best with 3/47 from 22 tidy overs. “We were always pretty confident in taking the 10 wickets,” McCoach said. “We just had to stay patient with our bowling plans. But as I said before, we probably weren’t
at our best yesterday, but still got over the line, which is good.” THE OSBORNE Park pitch got the better of both North Geelong and East Belmont with the game meandering to a tame draw. More than 700 runs were scored and only seven wickets taken as East Belmont replied to the Magpies’ 4/376 with 3/236. Josh Lacey made a starring unbeaten 104 from 210 deliveries for East Belmont. SOUTH BARWON enjoyed a 56-run win against St Joseph’s. Replying to South Barwon’s 256 last week, Joeys were led by Andrew Hodgson (57) and Ryan Simmonds (54), but
Nick Butters made a stunning bowling cameo, taking 4/4 from seven overs to go with Nick Platt’s 3/82 from 29 overs and evergreen Brad Hauenstein’s 1/42 from 23 to have the visitors all out for 200. THE McKENNAS dominated for Newtown & Chilwell in its seven-wicket win against Grovedale. Chasing 231 for victory, the Two Blues were led by Pat McKenna (115 not out from 173 balls) and young English import Ronnie McKenna (104 from 169) to reach the total with seven wickets in hand from 63 overs. The McKennas, who are unrelated, put on 201 for the third wicket.
Sharks give themselves every chance with 229 Jan Juc captain Nick Hyden is well aware that his side still has a lot of work to do to notch up a second consecutive BPCA win despite having runs on the board after day one of round six. The Sharks were all out for 229 against Ocean Grove on Saturday and are well placed to win. However, Ocean Grove successfully chased down a similar total against Barrabool in round five. “They’re a good team and we’ve had some good games against them in the last couple of years,” Hyden said. “It’ll be a good game. They’ve got some key wickets that we’ll need to get early and last week they chased 230 and were about one for 130, so we’ll need to create a bit of pressure early.” Although Hyden was happy with the final total, he said it could have been more. “If you gave me 230 at the start of the day, I’d have taken that,” he said. “We probably left a few out there. I think everyone from one to number six got almost 20 or more without anyone going past 50. So we probably left a few out there, but at the same time to get some even contributions was pretty good.” Opener Luke Edwards and middle-order player Fraser Clatworthy each made 44 in different circumstances. Edwards was patient and did the hard stuff early with his runs coming from 159 deliveries while Clatworthy had more freedom later in the innings with his coming from just 40 balls. Edward Cole made 37 from 43 balls and Hyden made 23 from 92. “The platform was set for guys like Fraser and Jack (Taylor, 27 off 25 balls) to come in and play with a bit of freedom,” Hyden said. “If our top six are all getting starts, then that’s progress that we can keep going on mostly as the year goes on. “They bowled pretty well through that middle period. Micky Thornton and Dan Roddis are two of the best seamers in the comp in my book given the times I’ve played against them.”

Thornton sent down 22.1 overs for 3/70 while left-armer Roddis put in a similar shift with 1/51 from 19 and Dylan Thorley took 3/32. Hyden said his side is finally getting balance. Last season’s runners-up, Jan Juc lost its first four games. “I think we’re probably as settled as we’ve been in the last 18 months or so,” he said. “Hopefully we can continue that form and someone can go on and get a big score in the next few weeks.”
BARRABOOL is on the verge of first-innings points, needing 23 to defeat Inverleigh with seven wickets in hand. New-ball pair Brad Greenwood (4/17) and James Fisher (3/16) were largely responsible for the Bulls getting Inverleigh all out for 71. Despite some hiccups, Michael Kelson (28 not out) saw Barrabool to 3/49 at stumps. ANGLESEA went a long way to keeping its unbeaten run intact, making 7/255 against Armstrong Creek. Consistent opener Tyron
Norman top scored with 89 while Titans skipper Daniel Maclean sent down 18 overs and captured 3/53. BARWON HEADS dragged itself back into the contest after Lachie Stott (74) and Hayden Illingworth (64) set Queenscliff up for a huge total. But slow bowlers Brent McMinn (6/50 off 22.1 overs) and Sam Schaller (3/60 from 30) applied the brakes and had the Coutas all out for 180.
