Abel ready and on target Abel McArthur scored the first goal with a giant soccer ball when he joined people from across Geelong for a free inclusive sports day on Monday. “He was really happy he scored the first goal,” said dad Aaron McArthur. “He had a great time out there and enjoyed all the different sports. It’s a friendly environment where he can have a go.” The eight-year-old from Lovely Banks uses a walking frame and a wheelchair due to being born without part of the bottom of his spine. But that did not stop him from trying modified versions of tennis, archery and his favourite, badminton. The sport day was the brainchild of Solve Disability Solutions’ Tim Marchinton, who was on hand with staff and volunteers to support the participants. “They can try archery, wheelchair rugby, wheelchair badminton, dance and roll, and we even have Freedom Wheels customised bikes and trikes, so people can try them out as well,” Tim said.

Let the shows go on Geelong theatre groups and venues have welcomed changes allowing 75 per cent capacity crowds, with some calling for a further easing of COVID-19 restrictions. “It’s fantastic,” said Rob MacLeod, who has managed Drysdale’s Potato Shed for 19 years. “Hopefully in the next few weeks we’ll get back to 100 per cent. “Twelve months ago we weren’t confident people would be willing to come back and watch theatre. But we’ve had eight shows this week and five sold out, so it shows people want

that live theatre experience. The confidence is back to program lots of shows again but, of course, it can change at the drop of a hat.” The changes would make a huge difference for groups such as Theatre 3Triple2 and Bellarine Jongleurs, recovering after the most devastating period Mr MacLeod had seen in 40 years in performing arts, he said. Theatre of the Damned co-owner Tony Dahl was thrilled with the changes, in time for his company’s upcoming Geelong production of Ladies in Black. An extra 35 audience members at each of seven shows under the changes would equate

to about $9000 in extra revenue, he said. The money would go toward new shows, local services such as sign-making, and hiring Shenton Theatre for rehearsals, which in turn would support venue owner Geelong High School’s upcoming productions, Mr Dahl said. He urged state government to allow 100 per cent capacity crowds at theatres, given 24,000 fans will be able to watch the Cats’ next game at GMHBA Stadium under today’s changes. “I don’t understand why they can’t have [theatre audiences at full capacity] so long as they’re wearing masks, have sanitised their hands and checked in,” he said.

Skin of Our Teeth Productions artistic director Christine Davey took a more cautious approach for her group’s Victorian tour of My Brilliant Career beginning in August. “We’re going to keep it at 50 per cent,” she said. “You don’t know what’s going to happen next week. “We had 38 cases in Sydney [on Wednesday]. One of those cases gets to Victoria, and off we go again.” Local musician and promoter Rach Brennan said the changes would make a huge difference for independent artists putting “so much time, money and effort” into local gigs.

Property days on market plunge By Luke Voogt Barwon Heads properties spent on average just 25 days on the market in the year to May, 2021 – less than half of 62 days the previous year. The town was one of five localities on the Bellarine Peninsula where properties were being snapped up in about half the time of the previous year, according to Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV). St Leonards recorded the largest change of the five – and the second largest in regional

Victoria – with an average of 44 days on the market, compared to 128 the year before. Properties in Leopold spent an average of 37 days on the market, just over half the 71-day average the previous year. Ocean Grove and Clifton Springs properties spent on average 42 and 45 days on the market, about 58 per cent for both of 72 and 77 respectively the previous year. “Regional Victoria is experiencing the shortest days on market since 2010,” REIV chief executive Gil King said.

“Regional suburbs have been on a red-hot run for six consecutive months – following the protracted 2020 lockdown – recording an average of under 40 days on the market, with a median of 35 days in May 2021. “Meanwhile, properties in outer Melbourne sold in an average of 22 days, or 10 days below the median for metropolitan Melbourne.” The data indicated that more Victorians were moving to outer Melbourne and regional areas beyond, Mr King said. “Five towns recorded substantial decreases

in days on market, slashing at least 60 days from May 2020 figures. “The coastal tourist town of Loch Sport, in central Gippsland, cut back by more than 100 days and another 21 towns have reduced days on market by at least 30 days.” REIV president Leah Calnan earlier this year told the Independent that Melbourne lockdowns, changes in working arrangements and savings from cancelled travel plans, all due to COVID-19, had driven an influx of Melburnians to Geelong and regional Victoria.

Supersized op shop ‘like no other’ With dresses hanging from the ceiling – seemingly floating in mid-air – and old vinyls adorning the walls, Uniting’s new Geelong West store is “very different to other op shops”. That is according to Marion Hofmann, volunteer manager of the “supersized” op shop, which opened this Wednesday. “It will be a unique experience compared to the average op shop,” the retired financial worker said. More than 100 people came through the doors for the opening from 4pm to 6pm, Marion said, after the Independent had an

“I’ve always dealt with customers. You meet different people all the time and I like getting to know them.” Uniting recently purchased a former aquarium on Pakington Street to replace its Hamlyn Heights store. “They wanted a larger space,” Marion said. The op shop is fully-staffed by volunteers and all profits go towards Uniting’s emergency relief programs, including in Geelong, according to the charity.

Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher has taken the first step in a tilt for the ultra-marginal federal seat of Corangamite. Ms Asher recently nominated for Liberal Party preselection for the electorate, she confirmed to the Independent yesterday. Labor MP Libby Coker won the seat in the 2019 federal election by 2170 votes, in a count of more than 101,600, from current federal Liberal senator Sarah Henderson. The Australian Electoral Commission last month announced significant boundary changes to the seat, due to take place before the next federal election. Under the changes the towns of Aireys Inlet, Anglesea, Apollo Bay, Birregurra, Lorne, Skenes Creek and Winchelsea will become part of the neighbouring Wannon electorate held by Liberal Trade, Tourism and Investment Minister Dan Tehan. Cr Asher ran for mayor as an independent but joined the Liberal Party shortly after her election to council in 2017. She won 35.66 per cent of the primary vote in the 2020 election for the Bellarine ward, by far the highest percentage out of the 10 candidates running for office. She is a long-time resident of Ocean Grove, which is part of the Corangamite electorate. The Liberal Party preselection committee was due to meet last night to decide upon Ms Asher’s potential endorsement.

Local mental health homes open By Luke Voogt A 16-unit complex for people battling mental illness officially opened in Highton, with a visit from Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews on Tuesday. Mr Andrews said the units would help residents to “stay well, stay in their community and out of hospital” with a “safety net” of family and carers. “Without stability of housing, without accommodation you can be certain about, you simply can’t build a life,” he said. The units would principally support people with National Disability Insurance Scheme independent living packages, Mr Andrews said. “We just work through a process to allocate homes to those that have got those packages

[who] have got this need. Not everybody wants to be in this type of living, but for those who do, this is a big head start.” The Haven Foundation director Allan Fels approached Mr Andrews with the idea three years ago, he said. Professor Fels was part of the recent Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System that recommended “exactly this model” of housing, Mr Andrews said. Professor Fels said the project represented a “whole of life” approach to mental health. “It is a model that is very good for families. It brings relief to families who are concerned about the long-term fate of their family members who have mental illness, and we bring them in to [help] run these havens.” The units are the first of 162 supported

independent living homes being built across Victoria following a $49.2 million state government investment. Haven Foundation is contributing almost $1.2 million towards the homes. The foundation is a subsidiary of Mind Australia, which will provide living services to the residents. The complex drew controversy in 2019 with some Highton residents opposing the plans. The lack of need for a council permit for the facility prompted a City Hall review into its community care accommodation clause. The announcement was Mr Andrews’ first official visit to Geelong since returning to work after suffering a spinal injury in a fall in March. State government also plans to build another 2000 homes for Victorians living with mental illness as part of its Big Housing Build.

Stability is ‘everything’

Family honour at awards Three generations of women from the same family earned recognition at the 2021 Wathaurong Community NAIDOC Awards on Monday. The youngest, Stephi Murphy, shared the Moordeemoondeek Goopma (Young Female Achiever) Award with Bri Apma-Hayes. “I was really excited and proud,” the 17-year-old said. Ms Murphy stepped up as a mentor over the past 12 months helping to run a camp for Indigenous children and teaching traditional dance, according to Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative. “It’s a really good way to connect with community and make friends that also have Aboriginal heritage,” she said. Her mother Kristi Watts, who runs the co-op’s Milla Milla playgroup, shared the Ngarrwa Ngitj (Community Person) Award with Wendy Brabham. “I’m super proud watching her grow,” she said of her daughter. Ms Watts won her award for “bringing up our elders of tomorrow” in 11 years at the co-op, especially during COVID-19. “It comes down to other people acknowledging you and your work in the community,” she said. She helped bring Dreamtime stories, songs 4 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 9 July, 2021

and cultural activities into the homes of families via livestream during COVID-19 lockdowns. The group’s online following started with 56 families, which later grew to 110, and Ms Watts and her colleagues delivered resource packs to their homes. Ms Watts’ aunt Judy Dalton-Walsh won the Nedok Yoongga (Elder) Award for her 41 years

with the co-op since its inception and her work teaching Indigenous language. “They’re always out in front leading in culture and community,” the co-op’s Beth Davis said of the family. “Anything we need help with, we know we can always count on them.”

The stability, support and community of a new Highton complex are “everything” to residents James Harkness and Rebecca Bartolo. “It’s super important,” said Mr Harkness, who moved in on June 21. “When it comes to things like self-care and self-motivation, and … the activities of daily living, I’m shocking. I live like a 21-year-old bachelor even though I’m a 43-year-old.” Mr Harkness first suffered psychosis causing delusional beliefs and sleep deprivation after completing his law degree in 2006. He has since lived with schizoaffective disorder, a combination of symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorders, such as bipolar. Mr Harkness found the “right medication” in 2012 but “prior to the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) and this place, my mum was doing everything,” he said. Living in the new complex had relieved some of the burden from his parents and inspired him to set goals, he said. “The beauty of this place is there are staff onsite that can keep me accountable to those goals and help keep my life structured. “I’m a bit further down the path of recovery than some people here, but that’s nice, because it gives me leadership role. This place for us is an access point into the community.” Ms Bartolo, who also has schizoaffective disorder, said she felt more “inspired” and “confident” since moving in. The 27-year-old said she had benefited from group therapy in the complex’s communal area. “I try to do as many as I can because I think that’s what really keeps me well. It’s nice to have people that just get it.” Luke Voogt

WorkSafe lauds economic boost By Luke Voogt WorkSafe’s Geelong headquarters has injected more than $670 million into the local economy since it opened three years ago this week, the authority estimates. The economic boost includes the headquarters’ construction and 130 employees purchasing a home in Geelong as WorkSafe relocated from Melbourne in July 2018. Those employees accessed government incentives totalling $5.6 million to assist with a purchase and $3.1 million in stamp duty

discounts. Other local benefits in WorkSafe’s economic modelling estimate include employee expenditure in the CBD and across Geelong. More than 1000 employees work at WorkSafe’s headquarters on Malop Street and another nearby office, with 700 living in Geelong and the Surf Coast. WorkSafe estimates the economic impact of its move to Geelong will reach $827 million by its 10-year anniversary in 2028. The statutory authority has provided almost $200,000 in sponsorships and grants since the move, supporting 28 Geelong and Surf Coast

organisations and events. The authority is also a member of local lobby groups Geelong Chamber of Commerce, G21 and The Committee for Geelong. WorkSafe chief executive Colin Radford said the organisation was proud to call Geelong home. “The benefits of WorkSafe’s move to Geelong can be seen in our community every day, whether it’s the welcome economic boost, our support of grassroots organisations, or the opportunity for our workers and their families to call this wonderful part of Victoria home.

“We’ve also received a lot of support. Having the goodwill of an entire city behind us certainly helps when it comes to fulfilling our purpose of reducing workplace harm and improving outcomes for injured workers.” WorkSafe’s headquarters was operating at about 60 per cent capacity this week, with some employees still preferring to work from home. “WorkSafe will continue to follow government health directions and return to our offices in a staged way to ensure the safety of employees and the local community,” Mr Radford said.

Charity branches out A Geelong charity celebrating its sixth anniversary is set to open a new branch in Queensland in time for National Diabetes Week beginning on Sunday. Type 1 Foundation founder Ange Liston-Mccaughley on Wednesday flew to the Gold Coast, where her daughter Lila was diagnosed with diabetes in 2013, to launch the branch. “We’ve got 350 people attending from all over Queensland,” she told the Independent, while waiting with her family for their flight. Like many children with diabetes, Lila’s condition was initially misdiagnosed before her family went on holiday. Her condition worsened on the vacation before Ange called an ambulance to take her to Gold Coast University Hospital. Doctors later said Lila had been an hour away from going into a coma. The foundation is holding the launch at Sea World, where Lila’s family took her after her

diagnosis to enjoy what was left of her holiday, Ange said. “It’s awesome to think we’ve come this far and turned it into something positive.” Ange was thrilled to be able to hold the launch, given the looming threat of COVID-19 in recent weeks. “The event’s been on-and-off, so it’s been pretty tricky,” she said. She mailed 500 beanies in advance to Queensland to sell as part of Type 1 Foundation’s annual fundraiser, along with T-shirts, jumpers and caps. “Last year we smashed 3000, so we thought we’d go for 4000 this year,” she said. “We’ve got people selling beanies across Australia. We’re hoping everyone at the event will get behind it and grab one.” Details: type1foundation.com.au Luke Voogt

Irish dance ‘resurgence’ Three-time Australian champion Michael Padgett hopes to lead an Irish dancing “resurgence” in Geelong after COVID-19 halted his classes. The instructor, from Melbourne’s west, will hold an open day at Bell Post Hill on July 17, supported by Geelong Irish Society. “I’m very excited about a resurgence of Irish dance classes here in Geelong,” he said. Padgett discovered Irish dancing at age nine through a feast day at his Catholic primary school. He took up the style and went on to win three solo Australian championships, a team world championship at age 19 while living in Ireland and several Victorian titles. But Padgett is more focused on spreading his passion for the “rhythmic” and “athletic” dance style than discovering Geelong’s next champion. “It just makes you feel good – I’ve always got a lot of joy out of it,” said Padgett, currently studying a masters in primary teaching. “And that’s something I want to pass on to my students – I don’t care how good they are – I just want them to find joy in it and build connections.” Padgett hopes to run classes for ages four and above through his company, The Harp School, at Cobradah Homestead, Bell Post Hill, every Saturday in term 3. “I would love to be supportive of the Geelong community at large and assist when I can for displays at Irish venues, nursing homes and kindergartens,” he said.

Sex offender jailed A former Geelong DJ has been jailed for up to nine and a half years for sexually abusing several girls aged 14 to 15 between 2003 and 2011. County Court judge Frank Gucciardo on Monday sentenced James Robert Clark, 38, of Bell Park, after he pleaded guilty to eight charges of sexual penetration of a child under 16 and persistent sexual abuse of a child under 16. His sentence has a non-parole period of six years and three months, including 53 days already served in pre-sentence detention.

Sky’s not the limit The Australian Space Agency has signed on as a major supporter for the 2021 Avalon Airshow to promote the growing industry to a wider aerospace and defence audience. “This is a prime opportunity for our sector to connect, promote our impressive capabilities, and identify opportunities to work together,” the agency’s head Enrico Palermo said.

MY GEELONG The Surf Coast Stingrays – once known as Aireys Inlet Cricket Club – rose from the ashes of some of the worst bushfires in Victoria’s history. More than three decades later, new president Josh Carey speaks to Luke Voogt about his plans for the ‘Stingers’. Tell us about you… I’m 30-years-old and I live in Torquay with my partner Emma and our cat Rosie. We moved back to Torquay a few years ago from Ballarat. I’m a landscaper by trade and love keeping active. I used to play all the sports when I was younger, now I just play cricket, run, box and hit the gym.

Tell us about Surf Coast Cricket Club... The club started life as Aireys Inlet Cricket Club back in the ’80s in the wake of the Ash Wednesday bushfires. Unfortunately, AICC never had a home ground, managing to play games at Anglesea, Lorne, Deans Marsh and Modewarre’s ovals whilst training on a concrete slab out the back of the Aireys pub. After fading into obscurity for a while, they re-grouped and managed to find their way to Banyul-Warri Fields. Since then the club has grown from one team to three in just a few years. In the near future we aim to start a junior program and field a women’s team too. This may sound silly, but I love the club because of how relaxed it is. Some people get a bit too serious and competitive – don’t get me wrong, we love to win – but we don’t take it too seriously. We just bloody enjoy it. How did you join the club? Well, you know how some of the greatest ideas are formed around a fire with a beer in-hand? This decision was one of those. At good mate Tim Eden’s house for a party, a few of the boys told me I should join. I had been thinking about playing again already, so

the decision was easy. My fondest memory so far would be a win over Highton in the paddock at Mt Duneed, where Ben Hayes and myself managed to stabilise a collapse to pull together a much-needed win. How’s the future looking? Get your sunglasses out, the future at Surf Coast CC is bright! First on the list is to get nets built at the Banyul-Warri Fields. From there we’ll look to expand our senior teams and get some ripping functions organised for the boys and their families and friends. What are your favourite things to do locally? Lately, I’ve been very food and beer oriented with my out-of-work activities. The Kiosk in Torquay for coffee and a jaffle is a weekly treat, as well as Bells Brewery for a Friday beer or two. Che Vuoi in Barwon Heads is amazing also. How are you coping with COVID-19? I’ve been fairly fortunate with it to be honest. Work hasn’t really stopped and I’ve still been able to work out at home and with my good mate and PT Jimmy Downey when possible. That’s kept me pretty happy and sane. What’s something about you that people might not know? I’m terrified of heights and rollercoasters – to the point where the Scooby Doo ride at Movie World scared me that silly that Em happily went on the rest of the rollercoasters by herself!

Lara development off to VCAT By Luke Voogt A proposal for a $10.3 million 84-townhouse development in Lara is headed to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) after Geelong council knocked back the plans. Last year, developers Oreana Property Management proposed to build 89 dwellings on the site, but VCAT refused the application in line with a recommendation by council’s planning committee. Revised plans submitted soon after reduced the number of dwellings by five to 84, including 79 single-storey and five double-storey houses.

The developer’s new plans include 41 two-bedroom, 31 three-bedroom and 12 four-bedroom homes on lot sizes ranging from 118 to 283 square metres. But the revised plans again attracted strong community opposition, with council receiving 211 submissions against them. Opponents raised similar concerns to the original proposal including the density of the development, its lack of suitability for Lara’s rural character, traffic and parking demand. Last Thursday, council’s planning committee voted against a City Hall recommendation to support the renewed application for a

development at 9-13 Manzeene Avenue, Lara. The planning committee unanimously voted in favour of an alternative motion moved by committee chair Kylie Grzybek to recommend a refusal of the permit. “The community has again given council feedback that nowhere in Lara do we have this type and density of housing,” Cr Grzybek said.

Learn your dog’s language Have you ever wondered what your dog would say to you if it could talk? Well, it can, just not in the way that we do. Leopold resident and dog expert Rebeca Mas says your dog does talk to you, but it’s up to you to learn their language. She has released a book, Sniff Play Bark, filled with tips and practical advice to help people create more co-operative relationship with their canine companions. “Dogs are actually excellent communicators, and they try so hard to communicate when they feel anxious or uncomfortable with very subtle signals such as yawns and lip licks before they escalate to growling or snapping if they are not listened to,” Rebeca said. “But even growling is a gift to us, it is a form of communication in which dogs try hard to let us know that they are not comfortable in that particular situation but they really do not want to hurt us. “I decided to write this book so that I could help dog guardians to better understand their dogs, manage problem behaviours in a positive way that still allows dogs to be dogs, strengthen their human-canine bond and have better relationships.” Rebeca started her career as a veterinary nurse straight after high school, then worked as a wildlife officer and koala keeper and researcher, before commencing her studies in canine psychology and behaviour in 2015. She has now found her dream job, running a canine enrichment program at The Dog House Pet Resort in Mount Duneed. Just don’t refer to Rebeca as a dog whisperer. “To be honest, I don’t like the term – to me, it implies forcing dogs to comply with what humans want in some magical way,” she said. “I much prefer to think of myself as a ‘dog listener’. I always pay attention to all the subtle communication signals that dogs are giving us all the time, but which are often ignored or not understood … I hope this book helps to change that.” Details: books2read.com/sniffplaybark

“A development like this is better suited to Melbourne. Lara residents choose to live here because they enjoy being part of a community and town with a rural feel, and this development would not be in keeping with that highly valued neighbourhood character.” Council will now advocate for VCAT to refuse the application after the planning committee failed to make a decision within the required time period – prompting the developer to appeal to VCAT. Alongside Cr Grzybek, the planning committee included councillors Trent Sullivan, Anthony Aitken, Jim Mason, Belinda Moloney and Sarah Mansfield.

Jump risk prompts bike track plans The risk of injury from makeshift jumps throughout Geelong has prompted plans to build a new mountain bike track in Newtown. Riders will have a chance to shape the plans at Geelong’s main destination for the sport, Hill Mountain Bike Park, with council launching an online survey this week. A recent council assessment identified several makeshift jumps and structures throughout the region. City Hall plans to remove the jumps at tracks along the Deviation in Fyansford and at Zillah Crawcour Park to reduce the risk of injury. “It’s important that our open spaces are safe for all users to enjoy – whether you’re riding your bike, walking your dog or going for a run,” council’s community life director Robyn Stevens said. To replace these and encourage outdoor exercise, City Hall plans to build additional facilities for mountain bikers at Newtown. Council officers will also meet with bike riders in coming weeks to discuss potential improvements, according to City Hall. “We understand there is interest from the community to create additional facilities for mountain bike and BMX riders in the region, particularly for more advanced users,” Ms Stevens said. The survey is open at yoursay. geelongaustralia.com.au until July 30.

Businesses to be celebrated in virtual extravaganza Geelong’s annual business awards will go virtual again this year in a bid to get “an even larger audience tuning in and participating” amid COVID-19 uncertainty. “Last year’s virtual awards attracted over 10,000 people,” Geelong Chamber of Commerce chief executive Ben Flynn said. “It was amazing to see the business community celebrate those at the top of their game in front of their families, friends and colleagues. We can’t wait to replicate another incredible event this year.” The Geelong Business Excellence Awards presentation evening will be live-streamed beginning 7pm on October 19. 8 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 9 July, 2021

Organisers promise a highly-produced, glamorous virtual event celebrating the way the Geelong business community has adapted, survived and thrived over the past year. The 2021 Geelong Business Excellence Awards recognise and celebrate the region’s clever, creative and resilient businesses and business leaders. “It’s more important than ever to recognise those businesses and leaders who are driving our city forward and an event like this plays an important part in rebuilding everyone’s confidence,” Mr Flynn said. “The support of our major sponsors, Deakin University and LBW Business + Wealth

Advisors, together with our category sponsors and program partners, makes this night possible. “It’s a testament to the resilience of the Geelong business community to adapt and enjoy our night together despite the challenges.” Established in 1986 and managed by the chamber, the Geelong Business Excellence Awards recognise organisations that have achieved business excellence in the local region. Entries for the Geelong Business Excellence Awards close next Friday, July 16. For details visit www.gbea.com.au or search Geelong Business Excellence Awards on Facebook and Instagram.

YOUR SAY Hard to find good help One thing about Victorian politicians, their pay,and their pay rise: it is obvious that big bucks obviously don’t necessarily field the best talent. Just can’t get any good hired help any more! Gary Oraniuk Geelong West

Global warming? The middle-aged woman knocked on my front door. I opened it and asked how I could help her. She passionately said that “I am here on a mission to save the Planet from Global Warming. I want to enlist your personal and financial support to help us achieve this objective”. As she spoke, I shook with cold. She was dressed to combat another Ice Age! I would have welcomed a whisper of a warm zephyr, I wished her well and closed my door. To keep her and the cold out. Michael J Gamble Belmont

Appeal response heart-warming I’m writing to express my deep gratitude to everyone across Victoria who supported The Smith Family’s 2021 Winter Appeal. Times of uncertainty can make giving difficult, but our supporters have demonstrated a level of generosity that we’ve found truly humbling. Our vision is to create a better future for young Australians in need, and we launched our appeal with a warning that the fallout from COVID-19 continues to impact the lives of vulnerable children and young people. Not only are we concerned the pandemic has exacerbated the education gap between the

STATE MEMBER FOR GEELONG one in six Australian children living in poverty and their more advantaged peers, but we’re also really worried that many families we support say they’re struggling to cope with the ongoing repercussions of COVID-19. Key areas of concern – including a housing affordability crisis, a lack of suitable employment opportunities and the digital divide – are compounding, and affecting families’ wellbeing. This often flows on to negatively impact on their children’s educational journeys. During tough times, The Smith Family’s out-of-school learning and mentoring programs help keep children engaged in their schooling and on-track to complete year 12. And thanks to the tremendous generosity shown towards our appeal, The Smith Family will be able to support more than 15,000 additional students with our evidence-based educational programs. Our programs equip students with essential skills. They open young people’s eyes to future study and career opportunities and encourage them to pursue their dreams. So to everyone who contributed to our appeal to help the next generation of young Australians thrive in their education, I say thank you. Judy Barraclough Acting Chief Executive Officer The Smith Family

The Greater Geelong City Council requires you to provide it with information about the following: 1.

The name of any other person who has, or you think may have, an interest in the land. (Such a person might be a tenant or a mortgagee or a person to whom you have agreed to sell the land.)

FRIDAY FEATURE GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

Daicos on the road to recovery Linda Blaik lost more than a “very good boy” when her guide dog suffered the same injury that his Collingwood Magpies namesake, Peter Daicos, endured in the 1980s. She speaks to Luke Voogt about getting her “magnificent” Daicos back from surgery and regaining her independence.

inda Blaik spends more time talking and being with her guide dog Daicos than her husband David. “My husband’s not very well these days,” the Belmont grandmother said. “I could arrange something to do with Dave and he might not be well enough to do it, but I’ve always got my Daic who will say, ‘yep, let’s go mum!’” But for almost two months Linda lost that precious independence when Daicos suffered the same injury that his namesake, Collingwood Magpies great Peter Daicos, endured in the ’80s. “When he played I could still see a little bit,” Linda remembered of the Collingwood forward pocket, who kicked 549 goals in 250 games. “He was just so good at what he did. My Daicos is as mighty and marvellous as the man himself!” Linda began following Collingwood when her family moved up to Burwood in the ’70s. “I started losing my sight when I was about seven,” she said. “I had two brothers already attending the blind school in Burwood. If you weren’t a Collingwood supporter, you were sort of on the outer.” Her vision continued to deteriorate through the years due to cone-rod dystrophy, and at age 50 she was diagnosed with lupus. She began taking medication for the autoimmune disease, which causes the body’s immune system to attack its own tissues and organs. “The medication destroyed what I had left of my retinas,” she said. But Linda takes blindness in her stride. “I’ve had my nose flattened a few times,” she laughed. “What I had to get used to was the slow down mechanism. “I only wish that I could see my kids and grandkids for a day. “I have a vision in my head of what they look like, but I never know if my son’s got a moustache, or one of the granddaughters might change their hair colour.” Six years ago, she met a black Labrador who changed her life. “This dog was absolutely right for me from the moment I met him,” she said. “He doesn’t forget anything, he knows where things are. He does everything that a totally blind person needs a guide dog to do. “And he has enough confidence in himself to get me out of any predicament. “He’s very well behaved. But when he knows you, and likes you, he wants to have a play. “He does it more with women. He likes the sheilas. He’s got a few girlfriends he just can’t help himself with. “But the minute you put that harness over his

head he’s a totally different dog – people can’t believe that instant switch – he’s back, focused and knows what he’s got to do.” Daicos, the first Victorian guide dog funded under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), helped Linda shop, visit friends, watch footy and travel across Geelong and Melbourne to work as a recruiter. They even met Peter Daicos himself in August 2017. “He said ‘I’ve never had a guide dog named after me’,” Linda said. “He gave us as much time as we wanted – he was such a genuine person. It was great to talk to him about the old days when he played, and his boys as well.” Daicos served so faithfully that Linda had no idea something was wrong last November. “He was worked solid but he never complained,” she said. “His walk was a little bit

slower going up hills but Daics and I aren’t hill people – we go up a little bit slower. “Guide dogs will work for you until the day they die – they want to work for the bond they have with you.” But other pedestrians noticed something was up. “A sighted person would say, ‘what’s wrong with your dog’s leg?’” Linda said. “I said, ‘which one’, and they said, ‘the right’.” One vet thought he might have arthritis, but another discovered something more serious. “I said, ‘what, the right?’ And he said, ‘no the left’,” Linda said. The vet discovered Daicos had injured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), just like his famous namesake, but in both legs. In March, Daicos underwent surgery for both legs, followed by two months of rehabilitation with Guide Dogs Victoria and hydro treadmill

therapy. “I used up a good deal of my NDIS budget on support workers while he was away,” Linda said. To her delight Daicos returned in May, and Linda is gradually building up his workload and keeping a tight leash on his occasional playful “silliness” to prevent him reinjuring himself. “I’ve just got to get him to a level where I can grab the harness and walk out the door without the second thought, ‘is this too much for him’,” she said. On Monday Linda promoted good eye health at Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative’s NAIDOC celebrations, where Daicos met plenty of adoring fans. “He was very good, he did all the things he was supposed to do – just sit there and look nice,” she laughed. “The Collingwood Magpies fan site is very interested in how he’s doing too.”

Whether it’s a lush yard full of native shrubs or a strip of grass that doubles as a backyard cricket pitch – we love our gardens. Michael McCoy (pictured right) is back with a second season of this behind-closed-gates series, taking a look at the diverse ways Australians have adapted to make the most out of their slice of this country.

With an aim to return the former industrial site to mother nature, they’ve achieved a stunning feat that will have you scribbling down notes for your own landscaping plans.

Open door to Geelong’s history By Luke Voogt What would the cartway door at Geelong’s old wool mill say if it could talk? Long-time actress Jane Bayly knows a little something about that. “The door has witnessed an incredible range of comings and goings, and she’s almost 150-years-old,” she said. The Thornbury actress gives voice to the door in a new series bringing six Geelong landmarks to life this month. “I’ve performed a lot in Geelong, in various touring shows and primary and secondary schools, and way back in the ’80s at Pako Festa,” she said. “So I jumped at the chance to audition as a voice artist for this Geelong landmark.” Opening in August 1872, the door was a thoroughfare for Clydesdale-drawn carriages carrying fleece into the mill – now the National Wool Museum. The door witnessed the advent of coal and electricity, VFL footballers practicing outside and many exciting events, according to Bayly. The door also speaks to a ghost of the past, who reveals a horrific crime in nearby Gore Place. “Some very sinister things have happened outside in the dark that nobody would have seen, but the door,” Bayly said. She described the challenge of voicing an inanimate object as “liberating and exciting”. “I decided the best way to do it was to actually come and see the door,” she said.

“I came to Geelong and made sure I looked at all the landmarks. I love the idea of landmarks having memory. “They not only witness the events but have memories of the history – so that’s very powerful. But they’re also very playful and

fun.” Bayly combined the “liveliness” of the script with the door’s physical characteristics to create its personality. “I just thought she’s very solid and very pragmatic,” she said.

“She’s a barrier but she can open. She’s social, and loves her job, being able to welcome people and observing all the comings and goings. “She enjoys seeing who brings what in and the changing times. She sees her work as very important and exciting and has a very strong understanding of the responsibility of her job.” The series also features Gretel Sharp, Angie Hilton, Benji Groenewegen, Tom Molyneux and Tom Halls bringing life to the Eastern Beach fountain, a horse on the Geelong Carousel, a lion at City Hall, the Johnstone Park rotunda and the Geelong Railway Station walk bridge. “I conceived the idea of a whimsical object monologue during the 2020 COVID lockdown,” writer-director Penelope Bartlau said. “I was thinking about how to share stories, how we can have enlivening and magical experiences that enable us to feel connected even when we are by ourselves. “The Object Monologues Geelong is the outcome of my musings.” The free audio series, created by Barking Spider Visual Theatre and supported by council’s COVID-19 arts recovery program, launches at noon next Friday. The series, produced by Luisa la Fornara for Creative Geelong, features sound design by Vicki Hallet and photography by Sarah Walker. The project will be available after launch via the ECHOES interactive sound walks app, by emailing contact@barkingspidertheatre.com. au. Details: explore.echoes.xyz

Star-crossed lovers dance across the decades A mullet-filled circus and dance extravaganza two years in the making is skating its way into the Potato Shed this month. Memoirs and Mullets follows the love story of Frankie and Shazza, as they skate, dance and bumble across the decades towards the ’80s. “We’ve performed the show since 2018 but last year was meant to be our first time at the Potato Shed,” said Chantelle Fava, who plays Shazza. Fava and husband David Leeks play the couple, who meet in the ’50s and journey together through the hippy movement, disco and other trends of the decades. “Frank is a bit of a bumbling mess – he’s such a sweetheart. He doesn’t mean to do anything wrong but keeps tripping over his feet,” Fava said. “Shazza wants to be a superstar and she can’t let go of that – she’s always chasing that idea she’s some sort of diva. “The main bassline of the story is their love and how much they’re devoted to each other.” Memoirs and Mullets is the origin story of Frankie and Shazza, who the couple began portraying at festivals and other events eight years ago. “Everyone seemed to love them,” Fava said. “The more we acted as them, the more we found we slipped into the characters too easily.” But the fictional couple has only one thing in common with their real-life circus performer alter egos. “Their love is completely unshakable,” Fava said. “Even though the show’s written for adults, it’s still appropriate for kids, and the music is so iconic and feel-good that it makes people leave the theatre happy and light. “Which is something I think we need right now.” Fava relished the chance to perform at the Potato Shed after COVID-19 had devastated the arts. “It’s been a weird time for artists. Everything’s on-and-off and you don’t know where you stand. “Sometimes it’s hard to have motivation to get up in the morning, so it’s nice to have something we’re certain, almost, will go ahead again.” Despite the COVID-19 situation improving in Victoria, the pandemic continues to have

a major impact on performers, according to Fava. “We’ve just had two major events, one interstate, where we were booked to perform, cancelled due to the uncertainty with COVID,” she said. “Dancers and circus artists are still doing it tough right now. We’re not doing any better and we don’t have any government support. “But Rob [MacLeod] and the team at the Potato Shed are so community focused, and

they’ve supported us all the way. They’re fantastic. “So that’s one thing we’ve got on our side.” Fava also thanked council for providing work for artists on the streets of Geelong. “They’ve been hiring roving artists and that’s given us some work,” she said. Their latest show would also be a welcome reprieve from home-schooling their three eldest boys – one each in high school, primary school and kindergarten – along with looking

after their baby boy Levi, born in August 2019. The boys seem to be taking after their parents, who performed in circuses and on stages across the world for two decades. “The three younger ones love roller-skating,” Fava said. “They all seem to have amazing motor skills. That’s part of our workout regime, lifting up the boys.” Details: geelongaustralia.com.au/potatoshed Luke Voogt 17 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 9 July, 2021

Put a freeze on pain to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and re-engage in activities. They’ve even assisted many to avoid or delay surgery such as knee replacements. “Thanks to the latest medical research we have a better understanding of the body and how we can assist function and healing. “If we look past the surface symptoms to uncover the contributing factors … then combine that information with natural regenerative treatments and load management strategies, we’re able to treat these concerns better than ever before. “We can assist soft tissue proliferation and repair, improve joint health and function, enhance movement and mobility and decrease or eliminate pain.“

From the moment you receive the news that you have Parkinson’s, your life changes forever, says Geelong Peer Support Group co-ordinator Judy Hayes. “Parkinson’s is a life-altering, progressive condition for which there is currently no cure. There are no rules with Parkinson’s and every Parkie has their own unique combination of symptoms,” she explains. “While evidence shows that medication and exercise help with the physical symptoms, we also need to take care of mental health as depression is not unusual in Parkinson’s. “This is where a Parkinson’s Peer Support Group (PPSG) comes into the mix. Even if you have a great support team of family and friends, only another Parkie can truly understand what you are going through. “PPSGs focus on sharing information and providing social interaction. Members all have different symptoms, experiences and ways of dealing with their Parkinson’s, but we don’t just talk about health issues. “It’s more about friendship, having a good time and never having to worry or be embarrassed if you are having a bad day. Knowing that everyone else will be supportive is just one of the

good things about a PPSG.” Judy adds that if anyone is a little apprehensive about going on their own, they can ask a friend or family member to go along as a support person. “Remember,” she says, “no commitment is needed – just come along and, say hi, and see what we’re about and how we can support you.” The Geelong support group meets in East Geelong Seniors rooms, at 2-4pm on the last Friday of every month. The Barwon Region Friends@Park has flexible meeting times and venues. For more information, contact Parkinsons Victoria on 1800 644 189 or 8809 0400.

With winter upon us, many start to notice new or increased aches and pains, especially in their joints. The lower limb experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics say this is particularly common in the feet, ankles, knees and hips and can interfere with your day-to-day mobility. Until fairly recently the only options for joint pain have been to rest for extended periods, refrain from activities, resort to medications and in severe cases undergo surgery. But that isn’t the case anymore, as Dr. David Kavanagh who heads the Geelong West clinic explains. “Thanks to the latest research and advances in medical science, prolonged foot, ankle, heel, knee and hip pain, and even debilitating arthritis, could be a thing of the past,” Dr. Kavanagh says. “By combining the latest natural regenerative treatments, with biomechanical management strategies and targeted strengthening and conditioning – our clinics have been able to help thousands

characteristics, with the big Skoda Superb having a solid feel. Some may find the ride slightly too firm, particularly on rough roads. But keen drivers will appreciate the handling and the relatively neutral feel of the chassis. We suggest you check the feel of the Skoda’s suspension by taking it for a test drive on the roads you frequently use. A common powertrain in the Superb is the VW 2.0-litre TDI turbo-diesel engine linked to a DSG double-clutch gearbox. The DSG can be awkward in the way it handles very low speeds on light accelerator pressure. Try for yourself during your test drive, the later the DSG the better it is. Other engine options being surveyed here are a four-cylinder 1.8-litre petrol and a 3.6 litre V6 in the 4x4 model. The six-cylinder is a delight to sit behind, smooth and torquey. The new 2016 model only has 2.0-litre powerplants. There’s also a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel. Most have front-wheel-drive but the V6 has all-wheel-drive. AWD was also an option on some four-cylinder diesels. The bad news is that there aren’t a lot of Skoda dealers in Australia and those that do exist are

Seven-speed DSGs don’t seem to have the same problems as the six-speed units but it’s still smart to have a professional check it. Check that all electrical items work as there have been problems. Look for signs of previous body repairs. The easiest to spot are ripples in the panels and tiny specs of paint on non-painted surfaces.

chiefly in the major metro areas. The good news is that most of the Superb’s out-of-sight parts are shared with Volkswagen and Audi vehicles so getting spares, servicing and repairs isn’t usually a hassle. These are relatively complex vehicles and amateur mechanics should only do basic servicing. As always, please leave anything related to safety to the experts. Insurance premiums are wider spread than usual, possibly because the numbers sold are too small to have built up a steady body repair history. So, it makes sense to shop around for insurance.

Skoda Superb is a large family car from the Czech Republic. It’s actually longer than the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon being more in the Caprice/Fairlane range and has limousine-size rear legroom. However, it’s narrower than the big Aussie cars so the rear seat is better suited to two full-sized people in the back rather than three. The family unit of mum, dad and three pre-teen children will find it more than comfortable. The Superb arrived in Australia in May 2009 and can be either a sedan or hatchback. Huh? If you push one button a conventional bootlid opens. Close the bootlid and push a different button and a large rear hatch opens. Sounds a bit of a gimmick? Perhaps but there are times when you’ve got passengers in the back seat and it’s pouring rain outside and you don’t want to open a hatch to load luggage. May 2010 saw the launch of the large Skoda Superb station wagon. Like the sedan it’s big, with a 633-litre boot with all seats in use and 1865 litres with the second-row seats folded. The new model of April 2016 was lighter and stronger than the one it replaced. This time the innovative sedan/hatchback rear end was replaced by a boringly predictable hatchback. There are some clever features; a rear passenger door in the first series has a compartment for a folding umbrella. The new model of 2016 has two umbrellas, this time in more convenient locations, the front doors. There’s a detachable torch housed in the tailgate of the wagon. It not only shines into the boot, but also illuminates the area outside the back of the vehicle. The torch is automatically recharged when in its cradle. Ride and handling show typical European

FEATURING ... AUTO

Bold and the beautiful Safety

The first thing anyone commented about when they saw this road test SUV – the Genesis GV80 – was its size: “It’s big isn’t it?”. Though it’s almost five metres long and two metres wide, which is large but not exceptionally so, it’s shaped to look bigger than it really is. Bigger is better is often a sales incentive in the SUV field.

GV80 2.5T RWD: $90,600

When the driver uses the indicators to signal a change direction the speedometer or tacho shows a picture taken by an outside camera of what’s beside and behind the Genesis at that time. We found ourselves still using the door mirrors, but with more time in the driver’s seat we might come to rely only on the pictures. There’s not only advanced collision avoidance if other drivers make a mistake, but also a feature that stops you making a driving error. Try to change lanes into another vehicle and it prevents you from doing so by using the brakes or not replying to your steering. It almost goes without saying that the GV80 has been awarded a five-star ANCAP safety rating.

GV80 2.5T AWD: $95,600

Driving

GV80 3.0D AWD: $103,600

Response from the twin-turbo petrol V6 was very quick, proving that its design is a cracker. It looks as though the days of the second or two of hesitation before turbo units really get going are virtually no more? Comfort is very good as the car’s Road Preview Electronic Control Suspension has a forward camera that looks at the road ahead for potholes or bumps. It then quickly adjusts the suspension damping according to what it sees. Handling is pretty good for a vehicle of this size and mass though obviously it’s not aimed at the driver who wants to toss it at bends. You can choose to use a Sport setting, but we wonder how many owners would do this.

Bold is the first word that comes to mind. The front is totally dominated by a huge grille with headlight housings that seem to be a couple of sizes wider than they need to be. The rear lights follow the style of the fronts and the tail has a bold centre section. The roof slopes sleekly to the rear and the side windows sweep upwards to give a streamlined look.

AT A GLANCE

Interior Inside the bold look continues, but it has a good combination of upmarket class at the same time. Our test Genesis had a luxury package that includes quilted Nappa leather. It had suede on the pillars and dash as well as timber trim on the centre console. There’s space for three adults in the centre row seat, though it’s shaped for two individual seats, with the one in the middle being for occasional use only. The two outer rear seats can be adjusted electrically in the manner that we normally only associate with front seats. Given the size of the vehicle there’s less legroom than you would expect. Getting into the third row of seats isn’t easy because of the height of the vehicle off the ground. Again, there’s not as much legroom as we would like. There appears to be too much emphasis on boot space, which is positively cavernous. Perhaps it’s the sweeping style at the rear that has the third-row seats rather limited for headroom.

Engines / transmissions Our test vehicle was powered by a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 engine with 279 kW, and 530 Nm of torque the latter with a very wide spread from 1300 to 4500 rpm. So, the torque is in the rev range that’s being used virtually all the time in normal driving.

Summing up Genesis GV80 is positively stacked with many features and is sold for tens of thousands of dollars less than European SUVs in this class. Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring

Cameron to miss several weeks By Luke Voogt Star forward Jeremy Cameron will miss several weeks after reinjuring his right hamstring in Geelong’s 41-point win against Essendon last Friday. The 2019 Coleman medallist underwent scans on his right hamstring at the weekend after being subbed out of the game in the second quarter. Prior, Cameron had kicked three goals but could be seen rubbing his hamstring and grimacing in discomfort. In a post-match press conference Cats coach Chris Scott admitted Cameron had hamstring tightness pre-match, forcing medicos to make a challenging call. “Iffy’s probably a good description of how it was pre-game,” Scott said. “I think, more than people realise, there are really hard decisions that need to be made by the medical staff and he had a bit of tightness there pre-game but they were confident the right decision was made for him to play. “He got a little bit of a cork up near his glute … his tightness was right down low in the hamstring. He felt that it was tight – no real incident. “The medical staff [were] confident that he [had not] done a significant injury, but it was just not getting better. “So in combination with the knock, the tightness, the call from the medical staff up the line to us was that he shouldn’t go on and we approached it exactly the same way as we approached the decision pre-game. “There wasn’t a split-second hesitation in

either situation, either to play him once they declared him fit – and Jeremy obviously has a say in that as well, because he’s the one who feels it – and then when they decided he was done, we moved on in a split second.” Scott rejected suggestions Cameron had been managed through an injury after his twice-delayed debut for the Cats in round 6. “We took a long time to bring him back into the AFL team,” he said. “His hamstring’s been fine. He’s the best player of all time if he’s got a significant injury and was doing what he was doing.” Scott defended his medical staff for doing a “fantastic job” this year and making “brutally difficult decisions with key players”. “I’ve got so much faith in their ability and their assessment of these things that, once they’ve made the decision, I just go with it,” he said. “They’ve got really difficult decisions to make but they’re the experts. They don’t need to defer to a coach who’s got no idea what he’s talking about.” Scans post-match revealed Cameron had suffered his third right hamstring strain this year. “Unfortunately, this injury will see Jeremy miss several weeks,” Geelong Cats football general manager Simon Lloyd confirmed on Monday. “Our medical and conditioning teams are working closely with Jeremy on his rehab program. It will be a matter of monitoring how he progresses to then determine a timeline on his return to football.”

Local junior football and netball players prepare for Read the Play Round. (AFL Barwon)

Focus on mental health Read the Play Round will return to AFL Barwon for its 15th year this weekend in a bid to promote good mental health. The annual under-15s round will feature more than 80 clubs across AFL Barwon leagues and the Western Region Football League playing with white footballs and blue netballs. “The [round] is a great opportunity to highlight the importance of looking after mental health to teenagers across the region,” Read the Play general manager Michael Parker said.

According to Read the Play, one in four young people experience mental illness any given year, with a third of those not seeking professional help. The Read the Play round aims to highlight the importance of looking after mental health, increase help-seeking behaviours and promote support services. “We know the vital role sporting clubs play in the lives of young footballers and netballers, and are thrilled with the willingness of clubs and leagues to introduce the Read the Play program for their players,” Mr Parker said.

Cats review options By Luke Voogt Geelong will rely on the strength of Tom Hawkins and the dynamic leap of Gary Rohan against Carlton tomorrow to fill the void left by injured forward Jeremy Cameron. “[Cameron’s injury] changes the look of our forward line which is not preferable, but it’s not necessarily a complete negative,” Cats coach Chris Scott told a press conference yesterday. “It looks like the conditions are going to be pretty good, so forwards that can jump at the ball are going to be an asset, especially when they’re mashed up against [Carlton defenders Jacob] Weitering and [Liam] Jones … who like to jump at the ball themselves.” Esava Ratugolea could also push forward for the Cats, with ruckman Rhys Stanley available. “Our plan – irrespective of Jeremy’s condition – was to bring Esava back so that makes that even more likely,” Scott said. Veteran forward Josh Jenkins, currently fourth in the VFL goalkicking tally, could also provide a boost for the Cats forward line if selected.

“We’re in a fortunate position where we do have some options that we like,” Scott said. Scott was confident Cameron’s hamstring injury was “not a very long-term issue” but said the Cats would be patient with his return. “I wouldn’t be surprised, even if he makes a really quick recovery, that we err on the side of caution, because there’s still seven games to go and hopefully a decent finals series for us, so there’s still time.” At the other end of the ground, Lachie Henderson is set to play his 200th game despite the Cats delisting him in 2019. Henderson has made the most of his second chance since the Cats re-selected him at pick 35 in the rookie draft, matching up on and often nullifying key forwards. “It’s clear to us internally how important he’s been for us and I’d like to think our club’s been good for him too,” Scott said. “He was really good for a period of time there and then it did look like it was almost coming to an end his time – or our time together – and he’s found a way to reinvent himself. “He’s always been a selfless player but he’s

taken that to another level. I don’t think he’s driven by individual accolades or even playing for as long as he can. He just wants to be as good an influence [on the] team as he possibly can.” Henderson and the Cats’ defence will have their work cut against the Coleman Medal leading forward Harry McKay. Meanwhile, veteran forward-midfielder Shaun Higgins, speedster Jordan Clark, tag specialist Mark O’Connor and silky midfielder Sam Simpson all loom as selection options for the Cats. “We’re fortunate to have a couple coming back,” Scott said. He said the Cats were focused on having Higgins at “peak health”. “He hasn’t hit the heights that he’s capable of with us … but we’re still confident that he will.” Scott also praised the “underrated” Sam Menegola, playing his 100th game and Zach Tuohy, playing his 100th game for the Cats, for helping to create a culture that people “want to be a part of”. “They’ve had a big influence on who we are today,” he said.

Winter fishing off the hook ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos Winter fishing has been fantastic around the region as of late and is showing no sign of slowing down. Queenscliff has been a hot spot for land-based anglers over the past week with silver trevally running riot through the cut. Anglers have been having some pretty hot sessions down there, landing numerous fish to more than 50cm. Soft plastics have been the best lure to throw around, with the Zman GrubZ being a standout. The Barwon Estuary also offered some good fishing for trevally during the week and has been fishing well for quite some time now. Once again Zman Grubz have been a standout lure. The perks of fishing the Barwon is that there is plenty of shelter from the weather if it blows up and offers some nice by-catch such as salmon, bream and mulloway. Down the west coast towards Apollo Bay is still offering a pretty hot barrel tuna bite, between Big Reef and the Oil Rig off Port Campbell, with boats still landing fish well over the 100kg-mark – the biggest one weighing in at 147kg. Popular lure colours have been redbait, lumo and angel patterns. Portland has also got a pretty hot tuna bite on the go at the moment with boats finding plenty of school fish. Gone Fishing Charters has been getting their customers on a good chunk over the past week since returning down there, trolling skirted and diving lures has been doing all the damage for the crew. Corio Bay is still fishing well for land-based fishos with garfish, pinkie snapper, flathead, pike, salmon and trevally all jumping on anglers lines. Bait fishing with bluebait or squid is working well, however casting soft plastics seems to be working best and once again the Gulp Turtleback being a standout. The Crater Lakes have been fishing well over the past week with anglers trolling lures finding plenty of trout and chinook salmon in both lakes. Tassie Devils are a classic lure to troll around, with pink being a standout colour. As far as hard bodies go it’s pretty hard to go past the humble Rapala F7 and Daiwa Double Clutch. St Augustines is still providing some good school holiday fun for kids and families with rainbow trout chewing very well. Powerbait on a lightly weighted running sinker rig is by far the best rig to run - simple and effective.

Hocking takes reins at the Cats Former AFL player and long-time football administrator Steve Hocking will take over as chief executive of Geelong Cats at the end of this season. Geelong Football Club president Craig Drummond announced Hocking’s appointment on Monday. “Steve Hocking’s deep football and commercial experience is the perfect combination for our next CEO,” he said. “I’m confident that Steve’s values-based leadership, discipline and focus will continue to drive a culture of high performance and success for the club.” Hocking began his career in Geelong’s back line in 1984 and went on to play 199 games, many alongside younger brother Garry. He retired after the 1994 AFL grand final but returned as Geelong’s chairman of selectors in 2004, before assuming the role of assistant general manager – football operations. In 2014, Hocking became the club’s 26 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 9 July, 2021

commercial general manager before returning to the football department as its general manager in 2015. The AFL appointed Hocking as its football operations general manager in 2017. In this role he led the operation of the AFL and AFLW, and oversaw the rules of the competition, the match review panel and tribunal systems, umpiring, key talent pathways and elite coaching development programs. “As a strong advocate for the AFL industry, Steve has driven higher standards across all elements of football, including the quality of the game, diversity and the mental health of all industry participants,” Drummond said. “We are delighted to welcome Steve back to the club.” Hocking will take over from chief executive Brian Cook, who has led Geelong Football Club for the past 23 years. During this time Cook helped rebuild the Cats’ finances, oversaw four major

redevelopments at GMHBA Stadium and was instrumental in securing funding for a fifth stage, set to commence later this year. Cook also presided over one of the most successful on-field periods in Geelong Cats’ history and the introduction of a women’s football program over the past five years. Drummond acknowledged Cook’s “extraordinary contributions” at the Cats. “Under his leadership, Brian has transformed the Geelong Football Club,” he said. “On behalf of the board, the staff, our members, sponsors, and key stakeholders, thank you Brian for your leadership, service and legacy to our club. “I also am delighted to confirm that Brian has agreed to continue his great service to the club in an advisory role from 2022. “The club will formally recognise and celebrate Brian’s contributions … later this year.”
