A healthy dose of gay panic Geelong’s Alysha Jane and friend Lana Davey will perform their cabaret show ‘Wish You Were Gay’ later this month. The show celebrates queer music icons throughout the years. “It shows all of the absolute legends that paved the way in music and fashion like David Bowie, Cher, the movie Priscilla,” Alysha said. “It’s meant to be a big, campy, silly bonanza.” ■ Story: Page 3.
Record ambulance calls Demand for ambulances in greater Geelong continues to soar, with paramedics across the state responding to a record number of code one calls in the three months to June, Ambulance Victoria data reveals. In greater Geelong, paramedics responded to 4738 code one callouts in the three months to June, a 15.8 per cent increase from the 4090 callouts during the same period in 2021. Paramedics responded to 69.9 per cent of code one calls – incidents requiring urgent paramedic and hospital care – within 15 minutes, down from 78.5 per cent between April and June 2021. Ambulance Victoria
strives to attend code one calls in 15 minutes or less. The average code one response time was 13 minutes and 52 seconds. Ambulance Victoria Barwon South West regional director Terry Marshall said data for the three months to June shows response times continue to be impacted by soaring demand, the Omicron COVID-19 variant, sicker patients who have deferred care and staff furloughing. “There are no signs of demand slowing down through winter. COVID-19 continues to pose a high risk to Victorians and
will do some for some time,” Mr Marshall said. Across the state, ambulances were called to 97,928 code one cases from April to June, making it the busiest quarter in Ambulance Victoria’s history and third consecutive record-breaking quarter, the organisation said. Mr Marshall said Ambulance Victoria was working hard to relieve pressure in the system, with more paramedics on the road and more Ambulance Victoria Offload (AVOL) teams to rapidly transfer patients to hospital care. “These teams, established as part of our
pandemic response efforts to improve patient flow at the ambulance and hospital interface, are now being expanded to 14 public hospitals and a further five are in planning across Victoria,” Mr Marshall said. “They are made up of paramedics and nurses who receive handover of suitable patients after triage, allowing ambulance crews to get back on the road faster. “Meanwhile, a record 700 paramedics were recruited in 2021 and a further 404 paramedics have already been recruited this year to help get more ambulances on the road, including 26 in the Barwon South West region.”

Brewery signs lease at mill site By Justin Flynn A brewery has signed a 15-year lease to move into North Geelong’s historic Federal Woollen Mills site. Valhalla Brewing will build a 1500 litre automated brewhouse at the site with capacity to brew up to 500,000 litres of craft beer per year. Plans include a 200-seat taproom onsite, with an estimated opening date of March 2023. Valhalla’s Union Street taproom located in
the Geelong CBD, which opened in December 2018, will continue to operate. Founded in 2016, the 2021 Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA) Champion Gypsy Brewer has been on the look-out for the ideal location for a brewery and taproom for the past few years. While several opportunities have failed to reach fruition, Valhalla founding director Scott Hunt believes the Federal Mills lease proves that good things come to those who wait. “While we have been disappointed that a
number of previous opportunities have fallen through, in hindsight we now see that we just needed to be patient for this site to become available,” he said. “We are now in a position to build a state-of-the-art brewing facility in Geelong and offer locals and visitors to the region a craft beer experience as good as any in the Geelong and Surf Coast regions.” The Federal Mills site is a hub of creative, technology and hospitality businesses. The 50,000 square metre heritage-listed site is home to more than 50 businesses and
organisations, including Anther Distillery and 1915 Restaurant. Mr Hunt believes that Valhalla is the ideal addition to the already vibrant precinct. “We are excited to be working alongside such great local businesses such as Anther and 1915,” he said. “Adding Valhalla to the mix will not only make the Federal Mills precinct an even more exciting place to work, it will help establish the site as a go-to hospitality experience for the entire region.”

Show honours queer music icons Geelong’s Alysha Jane has teamed up with friend and co-star Lana Davey to write and perform a “healthy dose of gay panic” in their new show ‘Wish You Were Gay’. Alysha and Lana promise to honour queer music icons and share stories of the people who inspired them to get out of the closet and into the sunshine. “Lana and I had both done cabaret before and it’s something we really like so we put our heads together and it’s come together really well,” Alysha said. “It’s all queer themed. It’s about the music and the artists that were important to us in our personal lives and the rollercoaster of working out who you want to be with and who you don’t.”
Alysha knew a life in the arts was evident from a young age. “Since I was little I didn’t want to watch Barney, I wanted to be on Barney, I wanted to be on Hi-5,” Alysha said. “Debbie Lee, who has the dance shop on Little Malop Street, I was five or six and she pulls my mum aside after class and says ‘we don’t normally let girls this little join, but I think Alysha will be okay’.” Alysha said Lana is “the most insane singer”. “We are on the same wavelength,” Alysha said. “I’m mostly excited to see what it ends up being in its final form and what people think.” Alysha said you don’t have to be queer to enjoy the show.
“We do have a brief educational experience and the start of the show,” Alysha said. “We go on a time travel adventure and go through a bunch of different things in a short amount of time. Even if you’re not caught up in pop culture, we’ll educate you a little bit. “It will be fun and everyone will enjoy it if you’re gay, straight or or somewhere in between. Come dressed in your most spangly, wacky outfit.” ‘Wish You Were Gay’is at the MC Showroom, Prahran from August 23 to 28. Details: trybooking.com/events/landing/940562

Schools from across the G21 region will showcase the talents of their students at the 74th edition of the Geelong Schools Music and Movement Festival (GSMMF). After two years of restrictions on school excursions and events, the GSMMF returns to Costa Hall from August 16-18, where students from prep to year 12 will perform across a range of disciplines. The GSMMF is one of Geelong’s longest-running festivals and will feature dance, music, and stage performances in a series of 90-minute sessions across the three days. Geelong Arts Centre chief executive and creative director Joel McGuinness said the event would be a celebration of the arts that everyone could enjoy. “Having heard from our region’s schools about how important this festival is to their students, we are thrilled to be able to facilitate this opportunity to have young people perform on our stages,” Mr McGuinness said. The festival is part of Geelong Arts Centre’s Creative Learning program, which is supported by Creative Victoria and Deakin University, and Mr McGuinness said it represented the efforts of many people from different parts of the community. “The festival’s longevity is a direct result of the exceptional dedication of teachers, students, sponsors, and Geelong Arts Centre staff,” he said. “Many schools return year after year to be a part of this event, and for many, the experience they gain performing on the stage ignites a life-long passion for the performing arts.” Session tickets cost $5 and are available now at geelongartscentre.org. au/creative-learning/geelong-schoolsmusic-movement-festival-concert.

Future sport projects identified Surf Coast Shire has identified future projects for the sporting and recreation precinct in north Torquay, headlined by a synthetic hockey pitch, cricket training facility and community hub. Council adopted the Community and Civic Precinct Future Land Use Plan at its most recent meeting following engagement with local sporting clubs, regional and state sporting associations, Surf Coast Secondary College, and the community. The plan provides clarity on future recreation and social infrastructure needs in the precinct, which features Wurdi Baierr Stadium and the
recently-extended Grant Pavilion. The precinct will also be home to the Surf Coast Aquatic and Health Centre. Councillor Adrian Schonfelder said the plan provides clarity on how land in the precinct can be used in the next 10 years. “Each project will be prioritised in line with council’s Social Infrastructure Plan which is currently being drafted,” Cr Schonfelder said. “Given council’s financial position, the timing of projects will rely on the availability of substantial funding from state and federal governments as well as user groups.” Outside of the aquatic and health centre,
projects identified include a fully-enclosed cricket training facility, and another stage of a Grant Pavilion extension with additional change rooms and a social space overlooking both ovals. Rounding out the list are a multi-use synthetic hockey facility and community hub to be located in the vacant land adjacent to Yallock Circuit, along with additional courts at Wurdi Baierr Stadium, netball amenities and car parking. “So much has been achieved over the past 13 years and yet we know there is going to be continued growth – both in our population and subsequently the locals who use the community
and civic precinct, so it’s vital we plan for it,” Cr Schonfelder said. “This precinct ticks the box, and it’s so pleasing to see it buzzing and delivering health and wellbeing benefits – from basketballers high-fiving each other and parents watching their kids shoot a goal, to group fitness classes, skateboarding tricks and youngsters laughing on the playground.” There were 48 submissions which helped shape the Community and Civic Precinct Future Land Use Plan. The original masterplan for the Community and Civic Precinct was created in 2009, and last reviewed by council in 2014.
Connecting Geelong communities
Crime briefs
The Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare (the Centre) visited Geelong this week on its Connecting Communities Regional Tour. As the peak body for child and family services in Victoria, the Centre said it was important to connect with the sector in the regions, to gain a better understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities children, young people, and families are facing in regional communities in the Barwon. Over winter, the centre will be visiting five regions across Victoria to connect and engage with valued members and sector partners. The event consisted of a panel discussion between local sector leaders, before opening up the floor for discussion about the key challenges and opportunities for children and their families in each community.
A Bell Post Hill man charged over a fatal assault near Geelong has faced court. Ivan Deak, 60, appeared in person at Geelong Magistrates Court on Thursday, August 11, after he was charged with one count of murder. He is accused of assaulting an 86-year-old man at a Lethbridge address, northwest of Geelong, on Saturday night. The man died in hospital on Monday afternoon and Deak was charged with murder on Wednesday night. Police say the men were known to each other. The prosecutor told the Geelong magistrate police would need 11 weeks to compile their brief of evidence, including reports from a pathologist. Deak was not represented by a lawyer but he responded “no” when the magistrate asked if he had any custody management issues. Deak was remanded in custody to appear at Geelong Magistrates Court on December 9. – AAP

Panellists included Bernadette McCartney from Bethany Community Support, Tania Ferris from MacKillop Family Services, Kelly Stanton from Family Safety Victoria, and Fay Agterhuis from Point Lonsdale Primary School and Bellarine Community Health. “Bethany has witnessed a significant increase in the number of social issues that families and children request help with, including poor mental health, family violence, homelessness, deep financial insecurity, drug and alcohol addiction, parenting and therapeutic support,” Ms McCartney said. “The family services support system has been greatly challenged to provide the level of support required and to the numbers of children and families that have requested the support.” Ms Edwards said: “It is critical that we work together to continue to invest in early

intervention and education programs to reduce the number of children coming into care”. The Centre chief executive Deb Tsorbaris said the tour was an opportunity to hear from the people on the ground. “The Centre has not had many opportunities to engage with the sector in person since the start of the pandemic, as we have shifted
online to protect our staff, members, and the community,” she said. “Engagement with the sector is our bread and butter because it tells us what we need to be doing in terms of advocacy, government relations work, and support.”
A prisoner who escaped from a youth jail in central Victoria has been remanded in custody after he was arrested in Cario on Monday night, August 8. Shamus Touhy, 22, and Matthew Piscopo, 19, broke out of Malmsbury Youth Justice Centre on Saturday evening. Piscopo was arrested at a Ballarat home on Monday morning and Touhy at a motel in Corio. Touhy faced Geelong Magistrates Court on Tuesday charged with escaping lawful custody. He’s also facing charges including criminal damage, stealing a motor vehicle, and theft. He was remanded in custody to face court again later this month. – AAP

Apartments mooted for Grove A three-storey apartment block in the middle of Ocean Grove is before the City of Greater Geelong. The $10 million building, which is mooted for 57-59 The Parade, would contain 17 apartments over four levels. The development would include basement car parking for 30 spaces, five ground floor apartments, eight second floor apartments and four apartments on the top level. UXD Group Pty Ltd has been engaged as both the design and planning consultants on behalf of Bluff Views (VIC) Pty Ltd, the
owners and developers of the land. The planning report says no established trees or vegetation is in-effect of the proposed development. “The development strongly responds to the Residential Growth Zone, Design & Development Overlay and relevant planning framework (both state and local) by providing a higher density of housing within a concentrated township zone,” the report said. “The development response is one that provides a high standard of contemporary
architecture which is sympathetic to its environment and will add to the aesthetic values of the Ocean Grove coastal lifestyle. “The building will strongly contribute to a greater coastal village through the adaptation of biophilic design, articulated built form and the combination of both recessive and suspended elements to reduce visual bulk.” The report notes that the size of the apartments range in size from 94 square metres to 188 square metres. “The land is rectangular in shape with south-to-north orientation,” it said.
“It has one frontage (The Parade) which is 20.12m wide. Vehicular access to the property is afforded via a main township road to the south of the subject site. The road itself is a dual carriageway. “In its current state, the land is relatively flat and is currently occupied by a double-storey dwelling which is constructed from weatherboards and sheet roofing. The dwelling is proposed to be removed to provide a clear canvas for the proposed development.” The application is open for public comment until August 25.

SPAN prepares to walk once again
12561866-AI32-22
After a two-year hiatus the Suicide Prevention and Awareness Network (SPAN) will once again hold its annual walk to remember loved ones lost. First held in 2010, the SPAN Walk was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19 lockdowns and held virtually in 2021 for the same reason. SPAN committee member and walk organiser Benny LeFevre said the walk was an important annual event for many people in the region who had dealt with the pain of losing somebody to suicide. “The walk is about creating awareness of suicide and trying to reduce the taboo that’s around it,” he said. “It’s also to create a safe place for those who
have lost loved ones to suicide to talk about those loved ones and remember them.” Recently appointed SPAN committee member Sarah Clarke, who lost her brother Jordan five years ago to suicide, said the walk provided her with an opportunity to feel less alone. “We’d had our experience of dealing with suicide in our family, but we hadn’t understood how big a community issue it was,” Mrs Clarke said. “So when I went to my first SPAN Walk and we did the remembrance circle, where you hold hands and they play a song while reading out the names of all the lost loved ones, it was incredibly eye-opening.
“I was able to connect with people I’d known for a long time but had never known they’d lost someone too. “I was able to create that connection, to not feel as alone. As horrible as it is that other people have experienced this too, it’s good to have somebody you can chat to and know that it’s going to get better.” The SPAN Walk will be held on Sunday, September 11, and will begin at 9am at Johnstone Park, Geelong. Registration is free at www.trybooking.com/CBNEQ. If you or someone you know is in need of help, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.
A recent foam incident in the Barwon River at Winchelsea has prompted the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) to appeal for people living in Geelong, Winchelsea and coastal areas to be careful about what goes into their gutters and drains. EPA south west regional manager Carolyn Francis said there are two things people can do to help protect the Barwon, Lake Colac and other rivers and creeks of the south west: Prevent pollution in the first place, but if you do see it in the waterways be quick to report it. “Prevention is always better than cure and taking care to make sure you don’t contaminate local stormwater drains and waterways is a way to do your bit to protect the community and the environment,” Ms Francis said. “Everyone should be careful to avoid contaminating waterways via gutters and drains, even when the contaminant might seem harmless, like household detergents. “And if you find signs of contamination, report them as quickly as you can – it’ll help us to trace the source and stop it from happening again. “Foam from detergents can hang around for days, taking oxygen out of the water and killing fish, invertebrates and other aquatic life. “When it comes to reporting pollution, a photograph, an accurate location and a prompt report by phone or online can make all the difference in helping EPA to track the contamination to its source.” People can can report pollution by calling EPA’s 24-hour hotline on 1300 372 842 or by visiting: epa.vic.gov.au/ report-pollution/reporting-pollution

Surviving a stroke of bad luck This week is National Stroke Week. Justin Flynn talks to Clifton Springs stroke survivor Shane Datson about his journey and how a positive attitude can help in even the worst situation.
S
hane Datson was just months away from his 40th birthday, had a good job and loved playing golf and cricket when his world changed. He was on a cross-trainer at the gym and his right arm “fell off” the machine. He went to dismount and couldn’t move his right foot. For the next 10 minutes he tried to let others know he was in trouble, but he couldn’t speak. So he stood there on one foot nestled against the machine trying to get eye contact with someone … anyone. Several people glanced in his direction, but turned away immediately because they felt uncomfortable. “I finally got one woman to look at me, but she just put her earbuds back in and kept exercising,” he says. “I tried to get her attention again and she didn’t look, so I thought ‘I’m just going to have to make you feel uncomfortable and stare at you until I get your attention’.” Eventually the woman got help and it took five people to get Shane off the cross-trainer. He was rushed to Geelong Hospital before transferring to Royal Melbourne Hospital. “I became really bad at Royal Melbourne, I couldn’t talk or use my voice,” he says. He deteriorated over the next few days to the point where doctors couldn’t find any answers. Eventually Shane ended up at McKellar Centre in Geelong where he was diagnosed with cerebral amyloid angiopathy, a condition in which proteins called amyloid build up on the walls of the arteries in the brain. It is rarely seen in patients under the age of 55 and is typically fatal in those over 60. Shane would be put through months of 6 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 12 August, 2022
rehab, including learning how to walk again, but never once felt sorry for himself. “I was laying in bed not being able to do anything and said ‘this isn’t meant to be, I’m not going down without a fight’,” he says. Shane says he has always had a positive outlook on life. He was in a driveway accident at home when he was four. The back wheel of the family car went over his head and he lost his left eye and sense of smell. Two years later he had viral meningitis and then got gout and kidney stones and several broken limbs. And then the stroke, but there was still no self-pity. “I think I have been very lucky in life,” he says. “Mum said when I had viral meningitis that she couldn’t take a photo of me without me having a smile on my face. You just have to look for positives in life. You have to draw a positive from every negative you have.” After his stroke, one of the things Shane wanted to do badly was drive again. He got his licence back in April last year, but had to learn how to drive left-footed. The process was made simpler with years of experience driving a left-hand drive golf buggy around. “It takes a lot of work to get back what I’ve gotten back, It doesn’t come easily,” he says. “You’ve got to look for the positives. There are going to be a lot of negatives, but if you can take a little positive out of that then you find it makes it a lot easier. “The positive for me was that I had to get my licence back. It’s going to happen. You just have to believe in yourself that you can do it.”

- Shane Datson
Shane has one message to family members who are dealing with a loved one’s initial stroke diagnosis. “I could understand everything, but couldn’t communicate,” he says. “I got people to give me a yes and no question where I could shake or nod my head. “I had an older fellow who had a fall come in at McKellar and his family were there, talking loudly to him and he couldn’t respond.
“I went over and said to them to ask questions in this way. He understands everything you’re saying, but he can’t talk. If you ask him questions he needs to answer, ask him this way. The family turned to him and said ‘do you understand what he is saying?’ and he shook his head with the biggest smile on his face and the family were absolutely stoked that I went over and told them.” These days Shane is back at work, plays darts and is still supporting the Drysdale Hawks in the Bellarine Football League. He concedes he may never play cricket for St Leonards again, but is lining up as an umpire this coming season. “I’ll wear a helmet and have an arm guard because otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to move out of the way if the ball comes fast,” he says. “I’ll start umpiring with someone else and hopefully progress to doing games by myself.” Shane’s advice for any stroke survivor who is just starting their journey to recovery is to think positively. “It seems like it was quick but I look back now and it’s three years this October,” he says. “It’s not an easy road. You have to take the good with the bad but there is light at the end of the tunnel. “Do everything you can. What got me through was looking for positives. There might be something bad, but there is always a positive you can exchange it for. It’s not easy sometimes to find that positive, but if you can find it and dig it out, it will be a lot easier for you.”

Emergency wait times increase Geelong’s University Hospital has experienced its worst quarter for waiting times in more than a year. Data from Victorian Emergency Minimum Dataset (VEMD) revealed that between April and June, patients waited an average of 38 minutes to be treated at the hospital’s emergency department. The wait time was up from 32 minutes between January and March and 27 minutes from October to December. For more urgent category one to three patients, the average wait time was 25 minutes,
while less-urgent category four and five patients waited an average of 71 minutes. Barwon Health public affairs and communications director Kate Bibby said Geelong residents could do their part to help alleviate the strain on health services by taking simple measures to look after their health. “We’re asking our community to stay well this winter and protect our health system by keeping up to date with your COVID-19 and flu vaccinations, keeping a 1.5-metre distance between yourself and other people, washing or sanitising your hands often, coughing
or sneezing into your elbow, ensuring good ventilation and wearing a good quality mask,” she said. “We recommend people without life-threatening conditions first seek treatment from their GP, one of Geelong’s respiratory clinics, or phone Nurse-On-Call.” Meanwhile, the state government said elective surgery waiting lists, ever-increasing throughout the pandemic, have begun to stabilise since the previous quarter, now sitting at 87,275. Health Minister Mary-Anne Thomas paid tribute to the state’s healthcare workers and said
Teachers line up to play Education staff from across the state will flock to Geelong next month for the 25th annual Victorian Teachers’ Games. About 2000 teachers will take part in the games, which run from Sunday, September 18 to Wednesday, September 21 and can select from more than 140 sporting, wellness and social events across the four days including netball, lawn bowls, laser skirmish, dodgeball, archery, stand-up paddle boarding and more. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, Victoria’s teaching and support staff have gone to incredible lengths to help students keep learning,” City of Greater Geelong mayor Peter Murrihy said. “It’s been a challenging time in the classroom, so this is a great opportunity to thank Victorian educators. “The games give school staff the opportunity to connect with their peers, unwind after a challenging couple of years, and be inspired to make physical activity a part of their lives.” Teacher Maddy McDonald from Bellaire
Primary School in Highton said she was looking forward to taking part in the lawn bowls and other social events. “The games are a fun way to stay active and meet other teachers from across Victoria,” she said. “It’s a great way to unwind from work and have some fun with friends in such a beautiful part of the world.” Major events chair councillor Ron Nelson said major events such as the Victorian Teachers’ Games provide flow on benefits for cafes, hotels, bars and clubs across Geelong. “The games are a great way for teachers to kickstart their September school holidays, so please stick around and enjoy everything there is to see and do in Geelong and The Bellarine Peninsula,” Cr Nelson said. “The average teacher is expected to stay three nights for the games which is a big boost for our local accommodation sector.” Last-minute registration for the games close on Friday, August 19.
the government was committed to delivering sustainable, long-term improvements to the system. “We’re in the midst of a record-breaking period of demand on our health system, but this latest data shows that we are weathering the storm and building a system that will be stronger than ever moving forward,” Ms Thomas said. “All our healthcare workers are doing an incredible job under challenging circumstances – and this government is ensuring they have all the support they need, to give Victorians the care they deserve faster.”

For the first time, One Agency is offering a sneak peek of the winning calendar photos before they go to print and giving the public the chance to vote for their favourite. The winner of the ‘crowd favourite’ award will receive a dinner for two at popular local restaurant, The Kyn. As a bonus, anyone who votes will also go into a draw to win a prize.

CITYNEWS REMEMEBERING THE SERVICE OF OUR VIETNAM VETERANS Every year on 18 August, on the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan, we remember all those who served in the Vietnam War. We reflect on the service and sacrifice of almost 60,000 Australians who served during the 10 years of our involvement in the Vietnam War between 1962 and 1972. We also reflect on the impact of service on their families. In Geelong, the Vietnam Veterans’ Association, Geelong and District Sub-Branch will gather and march from Mackey Street in North Geelong on Sunday 14 August from 10.30am.
The parade will commence at approximately 10.40am and travel to the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial on the corner of Swinburne Street and Melbourne Road at approximately 11am.

Students chalk up bold ideas Students from Oberon High School and Iona College stepped up this week to demonstrate their brilliance at generating and winning support for bold and inspired ideas. Local business ID Land has teamed up with Crazy Ideas College (CIC) to provide students with the support, tools and connections to generate and bring transformative ideas to life. The year 9 students completed the CIC Social Innovators (SI) program over August 10 and 11 and brought ideas that can help reimagine what a life well lived looks like for the community. Working in teams, students designed programs, products and services that enrich the lives of their fellow citizens. Across the two days, students discovered new insights around issues they care about, generated crazy good ideas, prototyped how these ideas can work in community, and developed compelling pitches that inspire action. The ideas were pitched to a panel of community partners. “It’s really important we’re equipping young people with the skills and connections to thrive post school, and that community and business partners play a key role in doing that,” Crazy Ideas College’s Zoe Burrows said. Local community and business partners are connected into the program so that teams extend their thinking and great ideas can be acted upon. Community partners will be providing feedback to teams as they develop their ideas and connecting teams with the right people and resources so their ideas can be brought to life. Key themes that the ideas addressed included finding ways to promote care for the environment, enhancing health and wellbeing and fostering community connectedness.

Grants to fire creative engines Geelong Arts Centre has announced six recipients of the Creative Engine grant packages for 2022. After a challenging couple of years for regional artists, GAC will provide both financial support and in-kind studio access within the arts centre’s landmark Ryrie Street building valued at over $50,000. Now in their third year, the grants are designed to directly benefit local G21 artists and other artists with strong connections to our community in their development of new and distinctive work. The recipients are: Miss Cairo (Breasts Become Her): Breasts Become Her is a solo cabaret show written and performed by Miss Cairo, a queer transgender cabaret artist of colour which poses the question: At what point am I considered a woman? Christian Cavallo (The Mentor): The Mentor is Amanda Redfern: a one-time Hollywood star whose life has spiralled in later years. When she begins tutoring young actor Jordan Ridley, the two discover a vastly different set of perceptions across themes of sexism, ageism, respect, consent, and mental health; their methodologies as actors fuelled by vastly different lived experience.
Jump start recipients Belle Hansen (The World According to Dinosaurs): The World According to Dinosaurs is an interrogation of globalism through the lens of paleontology, world events and what we had for dinner last night. A culmination of the stories we tell ourselves about existence. Fact, fiction, wives’ tales, white lies, myths, learnt behaviours, common misconceptions – it’s all part of the human narrative.
(Gavin D Andrew)
Ignition recipients
Creative Enging grant package recipients Christian Cavallo, Stacey Carmichael, and Marta Elizabeth Lopez.
Stacey Carmichael (Project Connect): How do we connect to others? Has this changed given the current global climate? How do we connect as artists to explore concepts and ideas? What is that point of connection where our different art forms and artistic expressions meet? Using group devised theatre processes and assembling a group of creatives from varying artistic backgrounds and training; Stacey aims to bring together a group of theatre
makers to use these questions as a launching point for exploration and play.
Place to make recipients Marta Elizabeth Lopez (Geelong Latin American Movement): Representing the Geelong Latin American community through stage, theatre performances and audio-visual art at PAKO FESTA, Marta aims to be the catalyst for creating interest from other

organisations to support the continuity of her group’s projects at large and, in turn, be able to initiate the creation of other art projects.

Mansfield to contest state poll City of Greater Geelong Brownbill Ward councillor Sarah Mansfield will contest the state election as a Greens candidate for Western Victoria. Cr Mansfield was unveiled as a candidate by Greens leader Samantha Ratnam this week. The Greens have announced a majority women upper house ticket for the November 26 election. The party will run candidates in every seat on a campaign for stronger climate action, affordable housing and integrity in politics. It says it hopes not only to increase its representation but hold the balance of power in the legislative council.
Ms Ratnam heads the five-woman, three-man ticket and will re-contest Northern Metropolitan Region. Port Phillip councillor and former environmental lawyer Katherine Copsey will challenge for Southern Metropolitan and Maribyrnong councillor Bernadette Thomas in Western Metropolitan. Cate Sinclair will run in Northern Victoria and former federal candidate Mat Morgan for Eastern Victoria. The Greens received more than 10 per cent of the primary vote in the upper house in Victoria’s last elections, but preferences saw only one MP elected.
“If the will of voters had been reflected in 2018, the Greens would have at least four upper house MPs right now,” Ms Ratnam said in a statement “Yet sadly our broken voting system sees the will of voters distorted through dodgy preference whispering. “This year we’re hoping to build on the momentum of the federal election, where Victorians voted for the Greens in record numbers, and increase our representation in the upper house so we can hold the balance of power.” – AAP

Claims strong for power saving bonus

Ocean Mind gets a cash jumpstart Surf therapy organisation Ocean Mind will be able to provide its unique service to more and more children in the Geelong and Surf Coast regions thanks to recently announced funding from VicHealth’s Jumpstart! initiative. Ocean Mind’s Greater Geelong programs service manager Alice Creevey said she was thrilled to receive the funding, which would ensure more young people could access the innovative program. “We’re pumped, very grateful; the money will go directly into training up more volunteers to help more kids come through,” Ms Creevey said. “We’re entirely self-funded, relying on grants and other community organisations to make
this work possible. “So we’re really grateful, we know there’s a high demand on mental health services in the region and we work to support lots of them in Geelong and offer an alternative therapy. This funding will really have a big impact.” Ocean Mind provides therapeutic surf programs to young people who are experiencing mental health challenges, social isolation and disabilities and may not be responding well to more traditional forms of therapy. Ms Creevey said the effects of Ocean Mind’s programs had to be seen to be believed. “It’s absolutely magic, the outcomes and how quickly we see the change in the kids,” she said. “The research and data tell us it works, but
for me, it’s seeing the kids smiling for the first time in years, seeing someone make a friend or crack a joke, or just come back to their true selves. “It’s pretty joyous, very special. And because it’s free you get really diverse groups of kids who wouldn’t normally hang out coming together to surf because they want to be outdoors, meet people and enjoy surfing.” Ocean Mind is one of 123 organisations across Victoria that has received a share of $3.75m from Jumpstart!, alongside other Geelong organisations such as Wathaurong Aboriginal Cooperative and Diversitat.
Greater Geelong suburbs have enthusiastically accessed the state government’s $250 Power Saving Bonus. From July 1, residents seeking out energy deals on the Energy Compare website were able to pocket $250 for comparing energy offers. Grovedale households topped the number of applications submitted for the bonus in Geelong with 2723 applications. Corio was next with 2647 and Belmont rounded out the top three on 2514. Victorian households can receive $250 to seek out a better energy deal on Victoria’s Energy Compare website. Since 1 July, one million Victorians have applied for the one-off payment, providing immediate support and driving down the cost of living right across the state. All Victorian households are eligible for the $250 payment, including the nearly 400,000 concession card holders who previously claimed the payment under an earlier phase of the program. “Three weeks after launching this bill busting bonus, we are proud to have supported one million Victorian households with their energy bills while helping them find the cheapest deal available,” Energy Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said. “We know Victorian families are doing it tough, so we’re topping up the $250 Power Saving Bonus program to make sure no one misses out.” To apply and for more information go to: compare.energy.vic.gov.au

Dark Arts Festival returns with wild winter entertainment Dark Arts Festival WinterWild will return to Apollo Bay on August 12 to 14 and then August 26 to 28 bringing live music, theatre, gourmet food, outdoor performance, installations, beachside bonfires, comedy, swims and cemetery tours. Beyond the glitz of Lorne, the untamed, rugged landscape of the Southern Otways will provide a backdrop for ambitious music, food and arts programming destined to bring adventure-seeking audiences to the far reaches of the Great Ocean Road. Amyl and The Sniffers, Cash Savage and The Last Drinks, Emma Donovan and the Putbacks, ORB, Kee’ahn, Leah Senior and Floodlights head up music programming, ensuring the talent on offer rivals even the country’s biggest festivals in integrity and stature. 12 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 12 August, 2022
WinterWild returns to Apollo Bay this month.
Both weekends will feature a Wild Feast on the Apollo Bay foreshore with fresh local produce cooked with dizzying immediacy on open fires in the elements. Apollo Bay Fishermen’s Co-Op bring hibachi grills,
cauldrons and open flame to the village feast. Dine on fresh crayfish, abalone and scallops mere metres from the wharves where daily catch is hauled from the ocean. Each day indoor and open-air performance art abound, including the ominous outdoor spectacle The DogWatch. Local artists partner with internationally renowned producers like Aphids Theatre, Long Prawn and Finucane & Smith as the Otways community lend their time and talents to ensure the town comes alive with magic and mystery throughout the dual-weekend event. Comedy gets a guernsey this year, along with cemetery tours conducted by the local historical society, Qigong, sunrise cold water immersion (no wetsuits allowed!), group somatic sound walks, healing workshops, and
yoga combined with live music by the sea. Plus an ocean amphitheatre built to behold a late night water polo match held in an inky, 10-degree ocean with illuminated balls as giant stingrays pass underneath. “We’re stoked to be emerging from two years’ hibernation with the biggest WinterWild yet,” festival director Bill Hurley Fraser said. “The unique nature of the Otway Coast has always been our guiding force, and every corner of this year’s vast festival program highlights that, showcasing some of Australia’s best musical talent, genre-bending performance art and incredible local produce cooked on beachside bonfires – all underpinned by the elements of the local environment at its extreme.” Details: winterwild.com.au

The Guide HERE OUT WEST ABC TV, Sunday, 8.30pm
PICK OF THE WEEK
The cultural melting pot of inner-west Sydney is the landscape behind this compelling anthology-style story of eight diverse people, whose lives become connected through the tumultuous events of a single day. Each tale was penned by a different emerging new writer. Among the stars of this ambitious and tender feature film are Genevieve Lemon (The Power Of The Dog), Leah Vandenberg (The Letdown) and Rahel Romahn (Mr Inbetween), with Leah Purcell (Cleverman) and Fadia Abboud (Barons) among the ensemble of directors. Viewers aren’t given long to get to know any of the characters, but the plot involving a newborn kidnapped from a maternity ward is striking. Cultural connection: The cast of Here Out West, from left: Arka Das, Christine Milo, Khoi Trinh, Brandon Nguyen and Mia-Lore Bayeh. ROSS KEMP: SHIPWRECK TREASURE HUNTER SBS, Friday, 8.30pm
In this compelling fourpart series premiering tonight, Ross Kemp (pictured) isn’t diving into the depths of the sea for treasure. Instead, he’s embarking on a personal and dangerous mission to explore the historical wrecks lurking in the depths of the oceans surrounding the UK. Propelled by a personal link to maritime and the sea and a penchant for history’s stories, he begins by undergoing an intense two-month scuba training program that would scare off most novices. There are beautiful and eerie sights to behold, but it’s Kemp’s openness, and the tales of those who perished, that bubbles to the surface.
THE PUBLIC IMAGE IS ROTTEN SBS Viceland, Saturday, 8.30pm
Fans of singer-songwriter John Lydon (pictured), aka Johnny Rotten, will latch onto this wideranging documentary about the outspoken Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd frontman. For others, this deep-dive into the larger-than-life punk icon’s world could be a yawn-inducing affair. Featuring the Englishman divulging on his early life, career and choices, Rotten is a much more mellow figure than during his early days on stage and, to his credit, he’s not afraid to reveal his vulnerable side. Musicians such as Moby and Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea also chat about the singer’s influence in the music landscape.
AUSTRALIA’S FAVOURITE TREE ABC TV, Tuesday, 8.30pm
Paul West and Dr Ann Jones (both pictured) are on a unique mission to find Australia’s most treasured tree. As kids, we probably all had a favourite to climb or admire, but do we forget the magic of trees as we get older? West and Jones travel to each state and territory to uncover the history and makeup of some of our most remarkable native trees, speaking with scientists and First Nations people about everything from trees’ resilience to the roles they play in the natural world. In Tassie, it’s beguiling viewing as Paul becomes one of the first people to climb into the canopy of a Huon pine.

Have a say on early years plan The City of Greater Geelong is inviting community members to have their say on the direction of the Municipal Early Years Plan for the next three years through to the end of 2025. The draft of the city’s Municipal Early Years Plan 2022-25 aims to continue to improve the health and wellbeing of children from birth to age eight years across the municipality. The plan aligns with the Greater Geelong: Clever and Creative future Community Aspiration and builds on the previous Municipal Early Years Plan 2018-2022 to continue to provide services, programs, and activities that: • Support families to help their children achieve their full potential; • Support positive mental wellbeing of
children and families; • Provide early and sustained support for those who need it most;and • Provide equitable, accessible, and inclusive services. Across the three-year scope of the plan the city also aims to provide opportunities for children’s voices to be included in planning and evaluation, and giving insight into what is meaningful to them. Greater Geelong mayor Peter Murrihy applauded the prospect of community input into an updated plan, particularly considering the region’s increasing number of young children. “Greater Geelong has the fourth largest population of children across all Victorian municipalities and it’s absolutely vital that
we provide the very best opportunity for our children to thrive,” Cr Murrihy said. “Creating an environment in which our children can develop to reach their full potential is one of the fundamentals of our work at council and, to assist us in doing that effectively, we need the contribution of community members.” Greater Geelong’s demographic profile reveals there are 34,800 children from new-born to eight years of age across the municipality. However, almost 19.3 per cent of children who began full-time education in 2015 were deemed to be vulnerable in one or more areas. While that percentage is slightly lower than the Victorian average (19.9 per cent), Cr Sarah Mansfield, chair of the diversity, inclusion and
LGBTIQ+ portfolio said it was vital to ensure that the city continued to strive to remove any form of disadvantage. “There is significant social and economic variation across the Greater Geelong municipality”, Cr Mansfield said. “We know that a child may be developmentally vulnerable for any of several reasons but it’s important to continue striving for equity and giving all children the very best opportunity to succeed.” Community members can view the draft version of the Municipal Early Years Plan 2022-2025 and share their feedback through an online survey by going to yoursay. geelongaustralia.com.au/MEYPfeedback Consultation closes on Sunday 21 August.
Parks Victoria patrols step up

Family raises the sail for 2023 race No sooner had the Notice of Race and entry form for the 2023 Festival of Sails (FOS) hit the official website, Geelong sailor Brendan Garner clicked to enter for his 36th year of competition at Australia’s oldest and largest keelboat regatta in the southern hemisphere. “My first was 1987 as a 12-year-old – it was on dad’s Etchells in the Passage Race,” the Leopold sailor recalled of the regatta, which was inaugurated in 1844 and is hosted by the Royal Geelong Yacht Club (RGYC) each year. “I’m doing the Passage Race on my cruising boat, ‘Mustique’. Then I will race my Etchells, ‘Panther’, doing the Guyon Wilson Series.”
The Passage Race celebrates its 180th year when the FOS is held from January 26 to 28. “It’s a very impressive milestone for Royal Geelong Yacht Club to have such a long-lasting and continuous event,” Brendan said. “It’s a highlight on the calendar for sailors in Victoria and around the country. It’s spectacular to watch the start from the shore or on the water. I just can’t miss the Passage Race. Once the race is finished, the boat turns into the accommodation for the regatta.” Brendan’s eldest son Ben, 17, will sail while Josh, 14 next week, and Will, 10, will race in
the Cadets on the Sunday, as will Ben, who sails with Will. “Kids get life skills in the Cadet; they learn the nature of looking after somebody.” Garner reckoned. “My 17 and 10 year olds sail together, so when Will was seven, Ben was looking after him, for instance,” Brendan said. One family member will be missing in 2023: Brendan’s father, John. “Dad passed away earlier this year. We last did the Passage Race together two years ago. It was his last,” Brendan said.

Parks Victoria and the Conservation Regulator are stepping up patrols at Inverleigh Flora Reserve, targeting illegal firewood collection after river red gum trees were recently cut down and the timber taken. During June and July, there were multiple reports of illegal trail-bike riding, off-road vehicle use, and illegal felling of trees in the reserve. Multiple trees were cut down, including a 350-to-400-year-old river red gum. It follows significant habitat destruction last year when more than 300 trees were illegally felled and removed from the reserve. A total of 18 infringements and one official warning have been issued by the Conservation Regulator. “The destruction of this important habitat is bad enough, but the full impacts of illegal firewood theft are not limited to the destruction of the trees,” Parks Victoria western basalt district manager Jodi Heath said. “The illegal tracks created by vehicles, the damage to roads, broken gates, spreading of weeds and dumped rubbish by offenders has a cumulative effect. “Information from the community is a key part of our intelligence and evidence gathering and we encourage community members to report any suspicious behaviour to Victoria Police or Parks Victoria on 1319 63. But please remember your safety is most important – don’t put yourself at risk to gather information.” Inverleigh Flora Reserve is a haven for rare indigenous plants and animals and carries cultural significance to the Wadawurrung people. Manna Gum and River Red Gum trees provide important habitat for nesting birds, mammals and reptiles. The community is encouraged to report any suspicious behaviour to 13 19 63.
Locals asked to comment on Surf Coast Highway corridor Community input into safety, accessibility, capacity, and sustainability along the highway between Settlement Road and Mount Duneed Rd will be open from Monday, August 15. The Surf Coast Highway Corridor Improvement Study will ask locals to share their priorities for potential upgrades, ideas of how to improve the road and the current challenges they face using the highway. Businesses play a key role in the study, as
local enterprise, owners, and operators are encouraged to detail how customers access their establishments and what impacts the Surf Coast Highway has in their business operations. The study will deliver a business case detailing both short and long term infrastructure solutions on the Surf Coast Highway, that is used by more than 30,000 vehicles every day. Accessibility to schools and businesses,
journey times, and safety along the corridor will all be considered. The Department of Transport will also be hosting community pop-up stalls in the coming weeks. “The Surf Coast Highway Corridor Improvements Study will have a lasting impact on how we develop and plan along this busy route for years to come,” South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman said.
“We want to hear from all local residents, business owners and community leaders, so we have a true community-based approach to identifying and shaping the area’s future road needs.” The Department of Transport will also be hosting community pop-up stalls in the coming weeks.

Treatment Plant alive with birds
The only outing I have had over the past few weeks was a trip to Western Treatment Plant with Tom and Angus. It was so lovely to be there despite the freezing winds. The highlights were seeing a few white-bellied sea eagles, as well as a monarch butterfly, a small flock of blue-winged parrots and four red-necked stints. It won’t be long until the stints are joined by hundreds of migratory waders that have flown from the northern hemisphere. Locally, beach-nesting birds such as pied oystercatchers and hooded plovers are beginning to nest, with the first hoodie nest reported on the Eyre Peninsula (South Australia), found on July 28. It won’t be long until the Bellarine Peninsula hoodies are nesting on our beautiful beaches. I received an email from Jan, who spotted a fan-tailed cuckoo while she was walking along the Barwon River near Wandana Heights in Geelong. It was the first time Jan had seen one of these cuckoos so she was very pleased when it sat long enough for a photo. This bird has a distinctive trilled call that for me heralds the start of spring. They inhabit forests and woodlands during the spring and early summer breeding season. I received an email from Carole, who was walking along the Werribee River with a group of birders and was followed by a curious fan-tailed cuckoo who was singing.

Carole also visited Port Henry early one morning, and while looking over Corio Bay was amazed to see a huge line of what she first thought of as being ducks. The water was as still as a mill pond and as she gazed at the huge
flotilla gradually a sea mist rolled in. She managed to get a few photos and what she thought of as small ducks turned out to be over 100 hoary-headed grebes. The Australian Bird Guide says large flocks can be seen on
sheltered coastal waters but even so Carole was amazed at the numbers of these birds. I received an email from Kevin, who photographed a little grassbird in a pond at Breamlea. He also took some photos of a male superb fairy wren at Rice Reserve. Kevin said there were also reports of a pair of crested shrike-tits and a flame robin at Rice Reserve by another photographer that Kevin spoke to, but Kevin did not spot these birds. I received an email from Nick, who has been walking along the southern boundary of the Ocean Grove football oval on Shell Road with his young son, where they spotted a small parrot eating grass seeds, and his first thought was “that’s a budgerigar”. The bird was smaller than the other parrots that he had seen around, and had quite a dark green colouring, with some darker/black feathers across its wings. Without a photo it’s hard to know what bird this was, as it could be an escaped caged budgerigar, or it also could be a female red-rumped parrot. I also heard from Alan, who reported that there’s a pair of black swans nesting in the grasses towards the eastern end of the Blue Waters Lake. He spotted one swan with four cygnets cruising around the nesting area. It was very hard for Alan to get a decent photo with the strong wind blowing the grasses to and fro making focussing difficult. Two of the cygnets hitched a ride on the adult bird’s back, whilst the other two paddled in close proximity and then they all returned to the nest. Alan wondered whether there were more eggs in the nest as the other adult swan remained on the nest until the family returned, and then it went for a paddle. In view of this swan family requiring care and protection, if anyone is walking a dog at Blue Waters Lake please ensure it’s on a lead.

MOTOR
Fiat’s Abarth goes like a rocket By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring
Driving
One of our family cars for many years was a ‘Fiat 500 by Gucci’ convertible. It was a brilliant little Italian machine to buzz around in traffic and park in tiny spots that others simply could not fit into. It had the Gucci trademark green/red/green stripes and people admired it whenever we stopped. So, it was great to spend a week in the sporting cousin of our 500, the Abarth 595 Competizione. Abarth is the name used on the high-performance variants in the Fiat 500 range.
Styling Based on the Fiat 500, but with quite a few styling changes to give it a sporting look, the Abarth 595 Competizione does have a very individual look. It has a standout front area that’s body coloured in its upper area and black in the lower parts, large side sills and black in the rear that follow the colouring of the front. Our test car had matte blue paint, an extra cost option. Though it’s something out of the ordinary it does look to the uninformed that the Abarth had been sitting out in strong Aussie sunshine for too many years.
Interior The cabin has a 7.0-inch multifunction display, leather upholstery, carbon-fibre trim and sports pedals. It has an Abarth logo on the centre of the steering wheel. There’s black just about everywhere including on the dash and the gear lever housing.
Infotainment The hot Italian machine has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support and digital radio. We enjoyed the sound output from the audio

system, but turned it off most of the time to listen to the excellent sounds produced by the engine.

another throwback to its Fiat 500 origins and there simply wasn’t a suitable six-speeder.
Ahh! This is why you buy an Abarth 595 Competizione - to drive it hard and fast. It’s a genuine Italian sports machine not simply a hot hatch. It sounds great, talks to you through the steering wheel and holds the road at speeds that may not seem possible to those who don’t understand well sorted Italian suspension. Even around town, and in the suburbs, you can have fun listening to the sound of the engine, banging it up and down through the gears and accelerating hard away from the lights. The engine is a little slow to pick up speed if it’s running below about 2000 revs, but once you get it beyond that stage it really sings along with plenty of entertaining sporting sounds. But to get the full enjoyment from it you have to take it to the country. We had a ball thumping it around bends on the roads in the hinterland behind our base on the Gold Coast. On the open roads on the far side of the hills its cruises well, but does get a bit tiring if you’re doing a long trip. Frankly passengers may not appreciate it because the ride is on the firm side. You do sit rather high in the cabin as this is a stubby car and low front seats would steal too much space from those sitting in the back seats. It’s not too bad for those sitting behind a passenger in the front, but anyone behind a tall driver may find they are a bit cramped for space.
Safety Engines / transmissions Power comes from a turbo-petrol 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 132kW at 5500rpm, and 250newton metres of torque from 3000rpm. Abarth 595 Competizione has a five-speed manual gearbox at a time when almost all manuals are six-speed units. This is probably
TRIO OF INDEPENDENTLY OWNED WORKSHOPS SPECIALISING IN ALL EUROPEAN BRANDS
The Abarth 595 has ABS and stability control to help drivers to stay out of trouble. It has seven airbags, two IsoFix child seat mount points, rear parking sensors and a tyre pressure monitoring system. The latter particularly useful in a sports hatch when correct pressures at all four corners as important if you want to fang the Abarth 595 hard.
Summing up The Abarth 595 Competizione is not a car for everyone, but for those who like to get the best from a sports car it must sit very high on the list of machines to be considered. It looks good, goes like a rocket if you are prepared to work it to its full potential you will go everywhere with a smile on your face.

Top of the table tennis clash a hard fought affair LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers It was blue skies this week for Tuesday’s Midweek competition, and the ladies in Section 5 made the most of it, with tight matches and multiple changes to ladder positions. It was a top of the table battle, when first placed Clifton Springs hosted second placed Teesdale. With only two points separating the teams, the match was expected to be close, and the end result lived up to it. Both teams started well with the home teams Julie Bolton and Kristine Mortimer taking the first set 6-2, while Teesdale’s Annette Connors and Rosemary Morgan evened the score winning the second 6-2.
Connors paired up with teammate Jen Schefferle in the third set, and put Teesdale in front with a comfortable 6-0 win, but the Springs weren’t giving it away, with Geri Windsor teaming with Mortimer to tough out the fourth set 7-5, but left Teesdale with a four-game advantage going into the final two sets. As with the rest of the day, the sets went one each way, but Annette Connors taking her third set for the day, this time with Judi Evans, 7-5 was enough to get them across the line despite Bolton and Windsor winning the final set 6-3 for the Springs. With the win, Teesdale is now only behind its adversary on percentage. The second match was third versus fourth when Aireys Inlet hosted Surfcoast Black
Torquay. In a similar start to the first match, the result was tight, with teams level after the first two sets, but Surfcoast took the middle two sets in incredibly close results, 7-5 and 7-6. With a two-set lead and three games up its sleeve, Torquay was in the box seat, but that wasn’t how Aireys played it. Kelly Turner and Sue Clark in the fifth, and Susan Reilly and Trudi Anderson in the sixth pulled out fantastic wins with scores of 6-0, 6-2, putting them back to three sets all, and gaining the extra two points for a seven-game advantage. The loss has now put Torquay back to sixth, showing just how close this section is. Portarlington boosted its position this week with a 4-2 win at home against Surfcoast Green Bellbrae. The teams were tied at two sets all
going into the final sets, but Angela Jilich and Callee Schembri took the fifth 6-3 and Wendy McLennan partnered with eventual three-set winner Lynne Treloar to give Portarlington the win, and move into fifth, only two points out of the four. The final match of the day was Barwon Heads hosting Highton. The home team pushed itself into the four with a 5-1 win, with Sally Ford a three-set winner. While the score looked one sided, the result didn’t reflect the standard of tennis, as evidenced by the 21 games Highton put on the board. At the end of the day, the top three teams have consolidated their positions, while only two points separate fourth from sixth, which will make for some interesting watching for the balance of the season.

Cats head North for the Suns clash
The Geelong Cougars make life hard for the City West Falcons shooters.
(Tara Murray)
Cougars’ dream is over By Tara Murray The Geelong Cougars championship dreams ended in tatters in the Victorian Netball League on Wednesday night. The Cougars travelled the road down the State Netball and Hockey Centre focused on claiming not one, but two of the three titles on offer. In the championship division, the Cougars lost a thriller to arch rival the City West Falcons, 49-47. The two teams faced off in the semi finals, with the Falcons winning that match in overtime. Bouncing back from their first loss of the season, the Cougars beat Melbourne University to win through to the decider. It was a scrappy first quarter in the grand final with both teams turning over the ball. The Cougars were the first team to settle 24 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 12 August, 2022
and led by two goals at quarter time. It was all the Cougars in the second quarter and they managed to get the lead out to six at half time. After the Falcons came from behind two weeks ago, the Cougars were wary of what they would do. The Falcons made changes and they worked, with scores level a third of the way through the quarter. The Cougars were able to capitlise on some Falcons errors late to push the margin back at to five at the last break. Early in the last quarter it was all the Falcons as they got the game back on level terms and then hit the front. The pressure from both teams was strong, with turnovers being created. The Cougars were unable to get back the goal they needed too, with the Falcons holding the ball in the
dying minutes to get the win. Cougars captain Melissa Bragg said it was always a tough match with the Falcons and they had a tough rivalry. She said her team was unreal and they were shattered that they couldn’t get it done. “It hurts but it’s fire in the belly for next year,” The Cougars’ division 1 side started the night against the Hawks. It would be the Hawks that took home the points, 48-43. The Hawks led 11-10 at quarter time, before the Cougars had the better second quarter to lead 22-20. The margin was back to one goal at the last break, after the Hawks finished off the third quarter strongly. The two teams went goal for goal for the first 10 minutes of the quarter. The Hawks would then take control to run away with the win.
Geelong heads north to the Gold Coast for its round 22 match against the Suns tomorrow. With top spot and the minor premiership all but locked away, Geelong coach Christ Scott said the final two weeks before finals would be to focus on minor improvements. Geelong is a game clear in top spot and will start raging favoures in its final two games against Gold Coast and West Coast. “Here we’re on that endless search for perfection,” Scott said. “We think there are multiple areas across our game that we can improve. I try to take our focus into the last two games that we want to work on our game, whilst being respectful of what the opposition can bring as well, which is our process every week. “We never go in saying that ‘we don’t care what the opposition do, we’re just going to play our game’. We’re always conscious of the tweaks that you need to make depending on the strengths of the opposition. “I think that it becomes a bit more of an individual focus. How can those individuals sort of get their game in really good shape? So yeah, we’re looking forward to that chance to really hone our game collectively and individually over the last two rounds.” Young gun Sam De Koning will have the job on one of the Suns’ surprise packet forwards this week. De Koning will take either Mabior Chol or Levi Casboult. “They are a nice combination at the moment those two,” Scott said. “So, Sam, Jack Henry, (Jake) Kolodjashnij and Tom Stewart all have their hands full no doubt. (Izak) Rankine isn’t a bad player either.”

Falcons invited to showcase talent Queenscliff onballer Jhye Clark and St Joseph’s ruckman Olivier Northam have been invited to the AFL Drat Combine. The NAB AFL Drat Combine will showcase many of the most talented boys in the country and will be held in Melbourne from Friday, October 7 to Sunday, October 9. It will be the first time a national combine has been staged for boys or girls since 2019. Club interviews and medical screenings will be conducted at Marvel Stadium across the first two days of the Combine, with physical testing
to be held at Melbourne Park on October 9. Among the tests that will be conducted are the vertical jump, running vertical jump, 20-metre sprint, agility test and two-kilometre time trial. All states and territories will be represented at the 2022 NAB AFL Drat Combine, with the invite list featuring a spread of talent from across Australia. Clark is considered a top five drat prospect this season and was the Falcons’ captain this year.
AFL talent ambassador Kevin Sheehan said the 2022 NAB AFL Drat Combine provided a great opportunity for players to showcase their physical ability ahead of this year’s NAB AFL Drat. “The Drat Combine sees the best players from across Australia come together to showcase their abilities in front of AFL clubs,” Sheehan said. “The players invited to the 2022 NAB AFL Drat Combine are considered by AFL clubs to be the leading prospects for the 2022 NAB AFL Drat.”

Eagles soar to claim top spot By Justin Flynn East Geelong moved into pole position on the Geelong District Football League ladder, dethroning Inverleigh in style in the penultimate round on Saturday. The convincing 52-point win took the Eagles to the top of the ladder by percentage from Inverleigh. Things were even at the first break with the Eagles taking a four-point lead and then a 17-point buffer into half time. The third term saw East Geelong take the game away from its rivals with a six-goal effort. Tom Cordner-Maas was best afield with five goals while Zac Smith booted four while skipper Matt Tyquin was best for Inverleigh. Geelong West sealed a finals spot courtesy of an 82-point victory against Belmont. The Giants are now two games clear in fith spot and are still a mathematical chance of third providing they beat Bell Post Hill and Bannockburn loses to North Geelong. Ater an even first term, the Giants skipped away to dominate the rest of the game with Blake Dye and Brayden Mitchell each bagging four majors. Jak Evans and coach Nathan Bisset battled valiantly for the Lions. Bannockburn gave itself a real shot of earning the double chance with a 79-point win against Thomson. The Tigers are currently in third place and a win would see them finish at least third. A first-quarter blitz ensured Bannockburn was never in danger of losing with Kieran Fulton and Ayden Osborne combining for nine goals. Bell Post Hill did what was required to stay in the race for the top three with a commanding 112-point win against Corio. There were only 23 points in it at the long break, but the Panthers slammed through nine goals in the third term with Jordan Schrader-Sabell snaring five goals in a best on ground performance while Jayden Ettridge kicked five. Captain Jopel Bennett was a shining light for Corio with four goals. North Geelong overcame Winchelsea with a thrilling five-point victory. The Magpies were four goals down at the

the winners while Leigh Ellis kicked five for the Blues. Werribee Centrals defeated Anakie by 77 points.
Brenden Wilson, Josh Sutton and Jordan Wilson each kicked four for the Centurians while Anthony Harding kicked five of Anakie’s eight goals.
Five teams jostling for ladder spots as finals draw near The Geelong District Netball League final five is set with one round of the home and away season let to play. However, the make-up of the five teams who will play finals is far from settled. Winchelsea should claim the minor premiership, but will need to beat fourth placed Werribee Centrals to be certain. Otherwise East Geelong is set to pounce as it should defeat Corio. Any sort of win and a
winch loss would see East Geelong finish first. The battle for third is also heating up. Thomson will grab the double chance if it beats Inverleigh as expected. However, an upset loss opens the door for Werribee Centrals, although it must beat Winchelsea as well. The only certainty is Bannockburn will finish fith. A game and a stack of percentage behind the Centurians means tomorrow’s
game against North Geelong is a practice run before an elimination final. Bannockburn and Thomson fought out a thriller last Saturday with Bannockburn sealing a finals spot with a one-goal win. The Tigers were behind at every change, including by eight goals at the first change, but Lucinda Bubb, Alana Nicol and Grace Bath had other ideas and got their side home. Winchelsea didn’t have things its own way,
winning by just five goals against a gallant North Geelong. Gemma Stavenuiter, Meg Royal and Casey Carroll were the architects of the win. Corio thrashed Bell Post Hill with Kaytlyn Stone best on court, Alanna Cottrill spearheaded East Geelong’s win against Inverleigh, Belmont beat Geelong West with Angelique Ross Shooting 77 goals and Werribee Centrals beat Anakie.

SPORT St Mary’s strengthens its hold on top ladder spot St Mary’s all but cemented its place at the top of the GFL ladder with a home win against Newtown & Chilwell, defeating the visitors 11.13 (79) to 9.8 (62). League leaders St Mary’s sit two games clear of second-placed Colac, both teams having just two games still to play in the home and away season. St Mary’s pounced early in the first quarter to take the lead and hold it for the whole game despite constant challenges from the Eagles, who got within four points during the final term.
Key defender Ryley Hall, returning from a hamstring injury to play his first senior game for the club since round 11, was best on ground for the home side, while youngsters Keidan Rayner, Josh Sorgiovanni and Harry McMahon continued to impress. St Mary’s co-coach Travis Robertson said his side was at its best when the players worked as a unit. “I think the beauty of our side this year has been that, while you’ve always got your so-called ‘better’ players, we play our best when we get an even spread of
contribution,” he said. “We were able to start well and put the opposition under pressure early, but we weren’t at any point far enough in front to think the game was done until late in the last quarter. “But the boys have been training for being put under pressure and we were able to execute a game plan that held us the lead.” St Mary’s will face some selection questions ahead of this week’s game against Grovedale after Brady Pritchard suffered a broken
collarbone that will rule him out for the rest of the season. Robertson said he hoped to see the return of a number of players from injury this week. “Harry Benson will be touch and go this week, but he’s likely to put his hand up,” he said. “Jack Blood will probably not be available, but Josh Jaska, maybe. And with Matt Keast it’ll just depend what they do with the Werribee VFL side.” Matt Hewson
St Joseph’s bounds into fifth spot

Joeys show no mercy By Matt Hewson St Joseph’s has booked its place in the GFL finals after a comprehensive victory over Geelong West Giants at the weekend. Luke Webb booted five goals on his return from a lengthy lay-off with a broken collarbone as the Joeys triumphed 18.10 (118) to 7.5 (47). The outcome was hardly in doubt after St Joseph’s held the Giants to no score in the second quarter to take a 40-point lead into the half-time break. Joeys coach Paul Carson said he was proud of the way his players had dominated the match. “No disrespect to Geelong West, they’re a good footy side and a young team not dissimilar to us,” he said. “They had some momentum at different stages, but we controlled the game for large parts of it. “The boys executed really well. Their pressure was great, we moved the footy really well and had scoreboard pressure, and the result took care of itself.” St Joseph’s 18 goals came from 10 individual goal kickers, which Carson said was a good sign heading into finals. “It’s been a real strength of ours, and a real positive, over much of the year,” he said. “When we’re up and about and things are going well we tend to have up to 10, or even 11 or 12 goal kickers. I really like that, and I 26 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 12 August, 2022

know the boys enjoy it too. “The more goal kickers the better, it means we’re sharing the load and not being dependent on one or two guys. “It makes us really unpredictable to the opposition, so that’s definitely a good thing.” While St Joseph’s had a stranglehold on fifth before the weekend, Carson said he was glad to have mathematically guaranteed his side’s place in the finals this season. “We’re going to finish two games clear now inside the five now, so that bit’s done and dusted,” he said. “That’s the aim of any footy club, to qualify yourselves as soon as possible. It’s a good thing for us having two games still to play and to know what our next month of footy looks like.
“It’s fantastic to be playing finals again and to give ourselves another opportunity for success.” Joeys play Lara and St Mary’s in their last two matches of the home and away season, and Carson said he could approach the games in a slightly different way now his side’s finals berth was guaranteed. “It’ll be an interesting two games, they’ll both be different challenges in their own right,” he said. “But I suppose for us, now that we know we’ve qualified for finals, we’ll still be working on the development of individuals in the group, ironing out issues and work-in-progress areas. “We just want to keep taking baby steps forward and keep our form up while keeping one eye on the finals.” Bell Park had a 41-point victory at home against Grovedale with Jackson Bright and Hamish Dawson kicking six and five goals for the victors, respectively, while Hamish Lucas was named best on ground. Colac trounced Lara with a score of 20.12 (132) to 8.13 (61) to jump into second place and keep the pressure on top dogs St Mary’s. Leopold continued its run of form, defeating South Barwon by 80 points at home and virtually guaranteeing at least a fourth-place finish to the year. North Shore captain Nicholas Dixon was his side’s best player as they defeated St Albans 18.18 (126) to 7.6 (48).
A 40-goal haul from goal attack Emma Bulwalda paved the way for a St Joseph’s victory that saw her side leap-frog opponents Geelong West Giants and take fifth spot on the GFNL A grade ladder. Joeys managed to eke out a three-goal lead by quarter time, a margin that had been whittled back to just one goal by the three-quarter time break in a match that saw its fair share of momentum changes. But Bulwalda and offensive partner Annie Hills took charge in the dying stages of the game, converting nearly every opportunity to pull ahead by five goals at the final whistle as Joeys triumphed 50-45 over the Giants. St Joseph’s coach Kirsten Hood said she was impressed with her side’s composure in the must-win game. “I was really happy with the win, we knew we had to win that game to keep our finals chances alive,” Hood said. “It was pretty across the board, but we were patient with the ball. Every team can waste the ball from time to time, but we were really clean with it. “We also created a few turnovers from West to give ourselves the opportunity to win the game, our defensive pressure was great as well.” St Joseph’s centre Elli Leydin’s ball use was instrumental in the win, as were the efforts of defensive star Tori Honner. “Elli and Tori both had great games, Elli was incredibly controlled and took the right option every time,” Hood said. “And Tori’s defence work is always outstanding, but she also provides great leadership on the court and gives great direction to everyone out there.” Hood said her side will need to continue racking up premiership points in their last two matches of the season, as they sit just two points above the Giants in the fifth finals spot. “We’ve got Lara and St Mary’s to play, and we’re going to have to make sure we get the wins, or there go our finals chances,” she said. “Hopefully, if we can play our style of netball for these two games the scoreboard will run its course and do the right thing for us.” Matt Hewson
