Cup action back on track

By Justin Flynn Perfect weather and a bumper crowd of about 12,000 at Wednesday’s Geelong Cup has delighted organisers and racegoers.

Emissary took out the feature event at Geelong Racing Club ahead of favourite Surefire, with Makram third and Rodrigo Diaz fourth.

Geelong Racing Club chief executive Luke Rayner said the day was a success.

“I think it was a great day, the weather was on our side, the crowd seemed really solid, the racing was terrific, crowd behaviour was

unbelievably good, the fashion was well and truly out to be on show, and I think all in all, the majority had a really good time,” he said.

“The early indication is that everybody had a really positive experience at the Geelong Cup.” Almost half of the crowd were corporate customers. Mr Rayner said about 5100 punters paid for the privilege of enjoying the day in luxury.

“That’s probably as big as we can get from a corporate perspective,” he said.

Emissary now looks to have qualified for the Melbourne Cup, earning a hefty weight penalty by winning the Geelong Cup.

“That will be two years in a row that the Geelong Cup winner will get elevated and get a weight penalty that should give it a Melbourne Cup start,” Mr Rayne said.

“Our cup continues to be a great pathway through to the Melbourne Cup.” Mr Rayner said the track was excellent considering the rain that fell a week ago.

“My track manager was an extremely happy man,” he said.

“I don’t think you will ever see a track and surrounds in better condition in my view.

“I think they did an amazing job and the feedback from all the stakeholders, trainers,

jockeys was nothing short of exemplary.”

Western Victorian MP Andy Meddick joined animal activists to protest the cup on Wednesday as he continues to speak out against the racing industry.

“Deaths in horse racing are in the spotlight during the Melbourne Cup but the reality is, they are a common occurrence even when the whole country isn’t watching,” Mr Meddick said. “No animal deserves to die for gambling profits or so-called entertainment.”

Be prepared for more rain to fall Greater Geelong residents are being urged to monitor weather apps with more rain predicted over the coming days.

As the state recovers from last weekend’s floods, the Bureau of Meteorology is predicting 8-15mm in Geelong on Friday, 1-5mm on Saturday, 10-20mm on Sunday and 10-25mm on Monday.

A SES spokesperson said the worst hit areas of the state were in the north, but said the Barwon, Moorabool and Leigh Rivers could flood again if there was even moderate rainfall this weekend.

Geelong’s Landy Field and South Barwon

Reserve were among the worst affected facilities in last week’s flood event.

Landy Field was completely underwater and there are fears that Geelong Little Athletics could lose its entire season.

City of Greater Geelong mayor Peter Murrihy said more than 100 city staff responded to the flooding along with volunteers and other levels of government.

“Our key priority is supporting flood impacted communities, as well as finding and fixing potholes, and repairing road surfaces to make sure Geelong keeps moving,” he said.

“We’ll keep working with other levels of

government to make sure support is available where it’s needed most.

“We recognise that many hard-working businesses have been significantly impacted by the flooding. We will seek to make contact with those businesses directly affected and link them into the relevant support and flood relief programs.”

Along with repairs to roads and other vital public infrastructure, the city has identified impacts to public toilets, shelters, ovals, walking tracks, cycling tracks, and other sporting facilities.

From Thursday, October 13 to Sunday,

October 16, the city responded to 294 requests for service from customers impacted by the flooding. This included 124 drainage call outs, 118 requests to repair potholes, 11 requests to repair pit lids, 15 requests for water over road signage, 11 requests to remove fallen trees, and 15 emergency call outs.

The city received 202 calls from customers requesting general advice on the flooding response, such as requests for sandbags, advice on travel routes, and assistance contacting the emergency hotline. More than 700 sandbags were handed out at a temporary distribution centre at St Albans Reserve in Thomson.

150 years of learning at Leopold PS Leopold Primary School is celebrating its 150th birthday in a huge way.

Established in 1872 as a single bluestone building, the school has seen several reincarnations over the years and has been rebuilt several times.

Festivities on Sunday, October 23 include memorabilia, artworks by every current student, food vans, games and kids activities, face painting, badge making, school tours, music and more.

Former pupils and staff can kick off proceedings early with a ‘back to Leopold’ social catch up at Leopold Sportsmans Club on Saturday night.

Sarah Bailey is one of the organisers of the event and said there will be plenty to see and do for all ages.

“We’re inviting the whole community really, but obviously past students and staff, we’d love to see as many as we can,” she said.

“We have a back-up plan if the weather

is terrible. We’ve had 600 responses on our Facebook site, so potentially we could end up with thousands.

“It will be a fun family day out.”

The school’s Kind Kids Club will have a stall and a lucky jar where all proceeds will go towards creating a kindness garden.

Ms Bailey said past students will enjoy the memorabilia displays and photo albums.

The day kicks off at 10.30am at Leopold Primary School on Sunday ,October 23.

Port Phillip Ferries is offering free parking at Cunningham Pier for Geelong commuters until November 24 as a way to entice those who work in Melbourne to try out its services.

The Geelong to Melbourne ferry service, which launched at the end of 2019, has suffered from the constant lockdown interruptions of the past two years.

But Port Phillip Ferries marketing manager Brad Wright said he was confident that once people experienced a “better way to get to the city each morning” they wouldn’t look back.

“Using our service at Portarlington as a case study, it’s taken off amazingly well,” Mr Wright said.

“We get 100 to 150 commuters a day from Portarlington to the city, and everyone that does it, loves it.

“We’ve had feedback from people telling us they’ve actually moved to Portarlington, chosen it as their sea change destination, because the ferry allows them to connect to the city but have the lifestyle they want on the coast.

“I think that once Geelong commuters try it and realise how relaxing it is compared to sitting on the frustrating freeway or on a crowded train they’ll stick with it.”

While the travel time of 90 minutes might put off some travellers, Mr Wright said the ferry commute allowed workers to get a “jumpstart on the day”.

“We have free wifi on board, a cafe serving fresh coffee, and beer and wine in the afternoon on the commute home,” he said.

The free parking offer must be booked online and in advance with a same-day ferry ticket, as spaces are limited.

Committe members wanted furniture bydesign inclusivity in the community. When I joined the committee I definitely experienced a bit of imposter syndrome because there were so many people who had a lot of skills I didn’t have,” she said. “But it turned out that I had experience they didn’t have either. You find your feet through listening to everybody else and learning and find how your skills can help contribute to the community.

“I recommend to anyone that’s interested, absolutely reach out to the council and apply.

The committee’s made up of a range of people with diverse skills, and also a range of disability.

Everyone’s got something to bring to the table.”

The City of Greater Geelong is inviting residents with lived experience of disability to apply for a position on its Access and Inclusion Advisory Committee before applications close on Tuesday, October 25.

Members of the committee contribute advice on the equal access to goods, services and facilities for people of all abilities in Geelong, including the implementation and review of the City’s Access and Inclusion Plan.

Ainslee Hooper, an applied anthropologist who runs her own consultancy firm and uses a wheelchair, has served on the committee for the past 18 months and encouraged anyone with lived experience of disability to apply.

Ms Hooper said potential applicants who might not feel like an “expert” should still apply, as the most important quality an applicant could have was a desire to improve

Surf Coast students excelled in the Torquay Lions Club’s International Peace poster competition.

Illustrating their concept of ‘Lead With Compassion’, local students have their works on display in venues in Torquay with two Bellbrae Primary School students crowned the competition winner and runner-up.

Grade 5 pupils Pippa Hynes and Rex Kadera took first and second places respectively and Torquay Lions president Colin Bellis praised their works.

He encouraged the community to visit the students’ displays in the Surf Coast Library, the old Bendigo Bank shopfront in Gilbert Street, and the old toy shop shopfront near IGA. “The posters will be on display during library hours until early November and in the shopfronts all-day,” Colin said.

I also reminded the staffer that all the banks had admitted to tens of thousands of cases on money laundering, for which no a single soul was criminally charged nor went to jail.

I am also adamant that contracts are not enforceable, as they do not take into account changes in circumstances, yet the banks and the Reserve Bank Governor maintain that changing circumstances require higher, and frequent interest hikes.

So, the banks can demand more, but people who have lost their jobs and businesses radically affected by the pandemic are not entitled to a decent break?

There was no argument on that lot either-and I told that fellow that if I had a mortgage would tell the bank: “This is what you get, and that is it.”

And I think that is the way it should be, and

would actually like to challenge the Treasurer on that one.

The banks are all foreign-owned, and pleaded guilty to massive wrongdoing.

It is time they were brought to heel, possibly via some concerted action from our elected representatives.

Some weeks ago I phoned the federal Treasurer’s office to put my case regarding the recent interest rates.

I maintained that any creditor can make a reasonable offer to pay, and if said creditor refuse that reasonable offer, then they must forgo payment. This is a normal thing.

I then asked, as there was no argument from that one from Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ front office man on that one, why the same should not apply to the Big Four Banks.

And I reminded this man that the Commonwealth Bank had posted a $7 billion profit just prior to one of the rises. So the poor old CBA has not been doing too badly at all.

Torquay Lions Peace Poster competition organiser Neil Roche said the Peace Poster competition was increasingly popular in Lions Clubs throughout the world.

“Each year more than 600,000 young people from many countries around the world participate in the contest,” he said.

“Our judge this year is Natalie Martin, Art, Illustration & Design, Ashmore Arts.

“I understand Natalie had a difficult task selecting from the batch of finalists on display in the Surf Coast Library.”

Charges for fish and chip shop A Barwon Heads fish and chip shop is facing fines of more than $250,000 if it is found guilty of charges relating to child employment.

Wage Inspectorate Victoria filed 14 criminal charges in the magistrates court against Mangroves Bar Pty Ltd (trading as Mangroves Bar and Grill), alleging it contravened state laws relating to child employment permits, rest breaks and hours of work for a child under 15.

It is alleged Mangroves contravened section 9(1) of the Child Employment Act

2003 on six occasions by failing to obtain a child employment permit when it allegedly employed a 13-year-old during school holidays in January 2022.

Four more charges relate to the business allegedly allowing the child to work shifts of more than six hours and failing to provide the child with a rest break on four occasions.

The maximum penalty for each offence is $18,174 and if found guilty of all offences, the company faces more than $250,000 in fines.

The matter has been listed for mention

in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on November 14.

Victoria’s child employment laws require employers of children under 15 to obtain a permit from the Wage Inspectorate before any work takes place.

The permit system enables the Wage Inspectorate to check that matters such as safety, hours of work, rest breaks and supervision are properly considered before employment starts.

Permits are free, and employers apply for one online at wageinspectorate.vic.gov.au.

Family violence service rolls out Geelong residents now have improved access to a range of family violence supports after Victoria Legal Aid’s Family Advocacy and Support Services (FASS) program rolled out this week across regional Victoria.

FASS, an integrated service providing both legal and non-legal support services to those impacted by family violence, was previously only available at the Melbourne and Dandenong registries of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA).

However, as part of an $85 million national expansion, Bethany Community Support

in Geelong is one of several new partners delivering FASS services, including assistance with accommodation, finance, drug and alcohol abuse and mental health, as of Monday, October 17.

Bethany executive manager Bernadette McCartney said partnering with FASS would help the organisation deliver more positive outcomes for the community.

“Supporting clients as part of the FASS team will be of huge benefit to the local community, helping us extend our reach in providing specialist support for people impacted by

family violence,” she said. “Our trained workers are there to support clients navigating complex and often stressful family law court proceedings, to help achieve safe outcomes for themselves and their children.”

Relationships Australia Victoria, which delivers mental health support services, and No To Violence, which supports male clients, have also partnered with FASS to deliver their services across all FCFCOA circuit locations, including Geelong.

No To Violence chief executive Jacqui Watt said FASS workers had made a huge impact on

outcomes for male clients since the program’s launch.

“Having been involved in the FASS project since its inception five years ago, we have been in a prime position to see what a difference our presence can make to good court outcomes if male court users are willing to engage with our FASS worker prior to, during and after his hearing,” she said. “We have had very positive feedback from men that there is a service available for them to engage with someone who can assist with their court experience and provide appropriate referrals.”

Win for all-abilities gym Geelong all-abilities gym and wellbeing centre Dash and Our Kinds, a start-up focused on reducing the usage of single-use takeaway cups, have been named the winners of Ripple Surf Coast’s Impact Pitch Party.

Part of the Geelong Small Business Festival, Ripple’s Impact Pitch Party awarded both start-ups prize packages valued at over $10,000, including one-on-one investment meetings, legal support and business consulting.

Dash founder Marje Rankin said while the prize package would be extremely useful, the intangible benefits including exposure and network opportunities would have a fantastic impact on her business.

“It was overwhelming to have the chance to present our business to such amazing people, there’s no platform like that around; it was like a huge dream,” Mrs Rankin said.

“We’ve been finding it difficult to get our name out there to our demographic. Seniors, people with Down syndrome or mental health

issues, they’re the forgotten ones.”

Mrs Rankin, who founded Dash with her husband Trevor, their son Tony and his partner Laura, said the idea for the gym was born when Laura, who lives with Multiple Sclerosis, was unable to access her gym after it closed during the pandemic.

“When Laura’s gym was closed down it was hard for her to find somewhere that was comfortable. And Trevor and I were 73 when we opened, and I’d never been in a gym in my life. Laura, who’s in a wheelchair, works out twice a week. And the change Trevor and I have got out of it is just incredible.”

Mrs Rankin said it was a wonderful feeling to be able to provide such a service.

“We’re focused on whole wellness, and the people that come in here know that we’re on the journey with them,” she said.

“It’s hard to express how overwhelmed and overjoyed we are to be able to give this to the Geelong community. It’s an amazing place.”

More Mental Health Services for Greater Geelong Hundreds of Geelong residents will have better access to mental health support, with the Andrew Government opening a new mental health facility in North Geelong, easing pressure on the health system.

The new 16-bed acute mental health facility at Barwon Health’s McKellar Centre will support an extra 355 Victorians each year.

The facility includes inpatient acute mental health services and community-based care in a contemporary and safe hospital setting, easing pressure on University Hospital Geelong’s emergency department.

The VIctorian Government’s also investing $16 million to deliver a Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol Services Community Hub in central Geelong.

We’re also establishing a dedicated inpatient youth mental health service, catering specifically for young people aged 16-25.

The site will be one of five across the state and is expected to reduce pressure on hospital beds by providing early intervention care and an alternative to hospital admission with recovery focused treatment. The youth beds are currently under construction.

We know our mental health system needs to care for every Victorian who needs it. We’re not wasting a moment in delivering the Royal Commission’s recommendations – because lives depend on it.

The five-storey hub on Moorabool Street will provide greater access to treatment and support services for members of the community experiencing mental-ill health and addiction.

New paramedics arrive The first of two new paramedic units have gone into operation in the Geelong region this week as the numbers of patients facing life-threatening emergencies continue to rise.

The new Peak Period Units are part of a $759 million state government investment for more paramedics, triage care and support staff for Ambulance Victoria, as well as improved flow in emergency departments.

The first unit, which hit the road on Monday, is operating out of the Geelong ambulance branch, while the second unit will go into operation on November 14 at the Belmont branch before moving to Grovedale in early 2023.

With the health system still reeling from the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Greater Geelong area recorded a 15.8 per cent increase in code one cases between April

and June compared to the same time last year.

Ambulance Victoria Barwon South West regional director Terry Marshall said the new units would help alleviate the strain on Geelong’s healthcare system and its workers.

“The new Peak Period Units will see an extra crew comprising of two Advanced Life Support paramedics on shift for up to twelve hours during the branches’ busiest times,” Mr Marshall said.

“This will significantly help existing crews to manage demand in the afternoon as they prepare for the busy evenings which is often the time when most Geelong residents call for emergency assistance.

“Geelong’s paramedics are working extremely hard to manage the increasing demand while prioritising care to the sickest Victorians.

“It will make a real difference to our busy paramedics who are dealing with an extraordinary workload, but also for patients during our busiest times.”

Mr Marshall said the new units were part of Ambulance Victoria’s plan to improve ambulance performance and care delivery across the state.

“We are recruiting record numbers of new paramedics to deliver additional services across rural Victoria, which includes the new Peak Period Units in Geelong,” Mr Marshall said.

“This will place additional paramedics and services where and when they are most needed, helping us overcome the challenges of working in regional areas, such as longer case times and distances required to travel to emergency events and hospitals.”

Geelong Show back up and running Despite the inclement weather at the end of last week, the Royal Geelong Show returned in grand style on the weekend after a two-year hiatus.

Showbags, dodgem cars and fireworks were all back on display as people flocked back to the Show for the first time since 2019.

Royal Geelong Show Society vice-president David Heath said downpours on Thursday had led to a quiet opening day, but the crowds returned in full force once the weather began to turn fine on Friday.

“There were still quite a few people around on Thursday, because that was our free day, and they all enjoyed the day,” Mr Heath said.

“Friday was very pleasant, and the crowds were about and having a great time, particularly on Friday evening with the monster trucks and all our other events in the arena.

“And Saturday was a cracker. I’ve been with the society for 20 years and that was the biggest Saturday we’ve ever had, it was a beautiful day with a great crowd.

“Everybody seemed to have a ball. Conditions were a little a little soft underfoot in a few places, but we put down a lot of wood chips to remediate that.”

Mr Heath said he was very thankful to the society’s sponsors and all the volunteers who ensured the show could run its full program

over the weekend despite the weather.

“We’d particularly like to thank our volunteers, from the Lions Club manning the gates, to the all the internal sectional people putting on the cattle and sheep shows and many others,” Mr Heath said.

“Apart from the dog show, which is a separate committee, all of our competitions, everything else ran as scheduled.

Remembering little ones lost Geelong Cemeteries Trust (GCT) held its annual ceremony to mark International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day at Geelong Memorial Park on Saturday evening.

The ceremony, attended by around 25 family members affected by pregnancy and infant loss, as well as representatives from GCT, Hope Bereavement Care, Barwon Health and St John of God Hospital, was held at the park’s special pregnancy and infant loss memorial garden.

GCT deputy chief executive operations manager Frank de Groot said the ceremony was a special moment for everyone involved.

“The ceremony this year was excellent, a place where family members could mingle together and share their grief,” Mr de Groot said. “When we had the couple of minutes of silence you could see the floating candles on the little lily pads we had all laid down moving around on the water.

“The frogs were croaking in the background, it was a very special evening.”

Every year, over 112,000 Australians suffer the loss of a child by miscarriage, stillbirth, or lose their child in the first 128 days after birth.

The pregnancy and infant loss memorial garden, completed last year, was the final milestone in the establishment of GCT’s Pregnancy Loss Program, which was developed to provide a free service to families who had

“Families can ask us to hang up a metal leaf on one of the metal trees we have in the garden,” Mr de Groot said. “That can have anything on it, from just a word or a name to a poem, and that leaf will hang in perpetuity.

“It’s quite a unique area, with the running water. It becomes a sacred place, or a special place for a lot of families.”

Greens put forward Lara candidate The Greens have announced Dr Courtney Gardner as their candidate for the lower house seat of Lara in the upcoming state election.

Dr Gardner works as a GP in Geelong’s northern suburbs and said she was keen to do more to improve the lives of local residents.

“In my role I hear directly from community members about the serious challenges they are facing,” Dr Gardner said.

“Too many of these issues are not being addressed sufficiently by the government.

“We urgently need to address the rising cost of living, lack of sufficient local public transport, improve housing affordability, and take immediate action to stop the impact of the climate crisis.

“I will stand strongly against the proposed floating gas terminals in Corio Bay and Port Phillip Bay, as they have the potential for enormous impact on residents and our precious coastal waters.”

Dr Gardner said seeing people struggle to afford housing and to access basic services such as healthcare and public transportation prompted her to run as a Greens candidate.

Dr Gardner attended Deakin Medical School and completed her initial medical training at Barwon Health.

Prior to becoming a doctor she studied public health and worked in international development.

Nine year jail term for stabbing

By Emily Woods, AAP Joshua Hocking had become irritated with a man who owed him drug money and warned him to bring his boxing gloves when they next met up.

He killed Geoffrey McDonald, 47, the following day after a fight outside the dead man’s home near Geelong.

Hocking ran to his car and drove off after stabbing Mr McDonald in the neck.

He then fled with his girlfriend and was arrested by police on October 19, 2020, after a five-day manhunt.

The 37-year-old was handed a nine-year jail

term in Victoria’s Supreme Court on Friday after pleading guilty to manslaughter earlier this year.

Mr McDonald was an associate of Hocking’s and bought methamphetamine from him on credit on three occasions but kept putting payment off, the court was told.

On October 12, 2020, Hocking sold him $150 worth of drugs and Mr McDonald promised to pay it back the following day.

Hocking sent him a number of irate messages, demanding payment and warned him to bring boxin g gloves, Justice Jane Dixon said.

After calling Mr McDonald several times, Hocking went over to his house in Whittington,

near Geelong, about 2.50pm on October 14.

The pair argued and fought in Mr McDonald’s front yard, then went into the man’s garden shed, before Hocking left to retrieve something from his car.

He said he was not leaving until he was paid.

Hocking again entered the front yard, where Mr McDonald hit him with a length of electrical conduit, swinging it at Hocking several times.

With a knife in his hand, Hocking swung at Mr McDonald and stabbed him in the neck.

He ran to his car and drove off, leaving Mr McDonald bleeding profusely.

He died in hospital later that afternoon.

Hocking went to his mother’s house where he called his girlfriend and told her he had stuffed up and was sorry.

The couple went on the run for several days until he was arrested by police following a media app eal.

“The effective gravity your crime is made worse by the fact that after you managed to stab Mr McDonald you chose to save your own skin rather than stopping to help him,” Justice Dixon said Hocking will be eligible for parole after six-and-a-half years in prison.

One year and nine months of pre-sentence detention was recognised as time served.

January 26 community discussions continue Geelong One Fire Reconciliation Group has announced its broad support for the City of Greater Geelong Council’s six-month community conversation about January 26, Australia Day. The conversation, which commenced in July, seeks to understand and acknowledge the experiences of First Nations Peoples and the wider community with January 26.

During stage one, the focus was on conversations with First Nations Peoples, with two community forums, extensive face-to-face meetings and promotion of an online survey.

Now, with stage two under way, council is seeking feedback from the broader community.

Geelong One Fire president Vicky Grosser said Geelong residents have a unique opportunity to have their voices heard on how January 26 is recognised in their city and

community.

“We’re seeing council take a staged and sensible approach to this matter,” she said.

“Essentially, we have an opportunity for all voices to be heard on this matter; and it is clearly in the best interests of the community for as many people as possible to share their thoughts and opinions.”

Group secretary Matthia Dempsey said the conversation is fundamental to the community and council’s approach to the day currently celebrated as Australia Day. “What January 26 looks like on this Djilang [Geelong] Country in future years will be determined by the conversations we hold today,” she said.

“We hear that people in this community want to see change and are often at a loss as to what to do on January 26. This is an opportunity to

shape and influence that change.”

Meanwhile, the City of Greater Geelong held a pop-up engagement session to discuss the January 26 issue at the Royal Geelong Show on Friday.

“We have now commenced the second stage of our conversation, which is with the broader community; and we’re urging everyone to ensure their voices are heard about how we mark 26 January in Greater Geelong,” Cr Mason said.

“We’ve learnt from the experiences of those councils that have already consulted on this issue. The result is that rather than the standard approach to community consultation, we’re holding broader conversation over a six-month period, going out into the community to seek face-to-face feedback, and undertaking online engagement.”

Children’s Week is set to be celebrated at Geelong Arts Centre with a series of immersive theatre experiences.

Running from October 22 to 30, Geelong Children’s Week will offer two opportunities for children and families of the region to get connected, get creative and get dancing, with two events held Friday, October 28.

From 5pm to 6pm, children aged five to 12 and adults are invited on a voyage through The Alphabet of Awesome Science at Costa Hall with professors Lexi Con and Noel Edge (the Word Nerd and the Science Freak).

This theatrical race through 26 quirky scientific demonstrations simultaneously educates and entertains young ones, encouraging them to think creatively about the world around them.

Plus, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm, the festivities continue over at Geelong Arts Centre’s Studio 1 & 2 for Tweens Night, a supervised event that will see children aged nine to 12 create, make

and dance with artistic talent Liz McGrath and local dance master Sherree Nash.

“Children’s Week is all about celebrating our young people and how we can best support them through art, creativity and diversity,” GAC head of programming Penny McCabe said.

“By giving our young people access to professional arts experiences that ignite a sense of wonder and possibility, we stand by our commitment to nurturing a love for the arts among our community’s youngest members.“ Tickets: geelongartscentre.org.au/family magic-2022.

Surf Coast Shire Council will team up with early years reference groups – made up of local early years services, community groups, kindergartens, schools and support services – to host events in Deans Marsh, Moriac, Torquay and Winchelsea.

Highton Village Urban Design Framework – the facts

For some people in our community, 26 January is a day to celebrate, while for many First Nations People it represents a day of mourning, sorrow, and survival.

Councillors will consider the Final Urban Design Framework for Highton Village at Tuesday’s Council meeting, following five stages of community engagement over five years.

The proposal seeks to protect the village feel of Highton while supporting the need for streetscape upgrades and improvements to accessibility for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles.

As there are no height limits on development now, the Urban Design Framework includes design guidelines for future development to protect the village character, including building heights of two and three storeys and limited space for four storey development on the supermarket site.

And Greg said to me later, ‘it’s about time you owned your past’. And really, that’s what I’m doing with this band

’’

- Colin Petersen

Colin ‘Smiley’ Petersen has returned to the limelight with the Best of the Bee Gees.

Life comes full circle for Smiley Colin ‘Smiley’ Petersen has seen just about everything there is to see in show business, first as a child actor and then as the original Bee Gees drummer. He continues to keep the Gibb brothers’ legacy alive with his show, the Best of the Bee Gees, which comes to Geelong November 5. He spoke to Matt Hewson about his journey coming full circle.

W

hen Colin Petersen was approached three years ago to join a Bee Gees tribute band by old friend Greg Shaw, former manager of country music star Keith Urban, he was understandably hesitant.

“Now, I don’t want to sound elitist here, but when you’ve been part of the real deal you’re a little bit wary of getting involved with anything that might be mediocre,” Colin said.

But Greg managed to convince the original Bee Gees drummer to come and see the show in Townsville, and Colin was blown away by the tribute band’s performance.

“There were two things about that performance that convinced me,” he said.

“First, only two or three songs in I was already thinking to myself, bloody hell, this is a really great band. The voices are so close, they’re obviously all seasoned musicians, and they had a ‘let’s complement each other’ attitude, no ego trips.

“The second moment was when Evan, who sings the Barry parts in the show, asked before they went on if it would be okay to introduce me, acknowledge that an original Bee Gee was in the audience.”

Greg had set up a spot in the aisle and a spotlight, and when Colin was introduced to the audience he received an overwhelming response.

“I was standing there, waiting for the spotlight to come on and I was thinking, my 10 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 21 October, 2022

goodness, what’s going on here?” he said.

“I’d been out of the limelight for so long, 35 years, basically. I knew people, had the respect of people in the industry, but I’d kept a very low profile.

“Then suddenly I was introduced and the spotlight hit me and I got a standing ovation.

I stood there, I couldn’t believe it. A couple of women came running up the aisle and grabbed ahold of me, big hugs, all that sort of thing.

“And Greg said to me later, ‘it’s about time you owned your past’. And really, that’s what I’m doing with this band.”

Born in Kingaroy, Queensland in 1946, Colin shot to stardom as the titular character in the 1955 20th Century Fox film Smiley, which was “big box office bonanza”, and went on to perform in other films with the likes of Sir Richard Attenborough and Max Bygraves.

“In the end, [Smiley] happened by chance, actually,” Colin said.

“I’d had tuition on the drums in Brisbane, and had been getting up with these big jazz orchestras at City Hall, venues like that.

“So I went into the audition all dressed up to the nines with my scrapbook of things from the press about these jazz concerts. And I got rejected, I looked nothing like the part.”

Some time later, barefoot and in street clothes, Colin was spotted by the director Anthony Kimmins outside the cinema where the auditions were being held.

“He didn’t recognise me from my audition, but we got chatting,” Colin said.

“We ended up sitting on the steps at the side of the theatre school and read through a scene from the movie. And later he confided in my mother that he decided then and there that I was the boy for the role.”

Colin and his mother went to England after Smiley, however, when Colin was 12 his mother decided he needed to focus on his education, that stardom would wait for him if he wanted to pursue it.

“I found that very hard, not leaving the fame so much, but no longer mixing with talented people,” he said.

“That’s what I love, right up to this very day, which is why I enjoy playing with this band.

“That’s what I missed when I went back to school, not being in that little creative family.”

They moved back to Australia and Colin finished high school at Ipswich Grammar, where he continued to pursue an interest in music, forming a band in Brisbane which then took him to Sydney.

“That’s where I connected with Maurice, and I did a couple of sessions with the Gibbs at Festival,” he said.

“Then I decided to head back to England to make a go with the film business again, but there was an understanding that when the Gibbs arrived in England that if the film thing didn’t work out I’d join their band.

“So I became the fourth Bee Gee, and that was obviously a big turning point in my life.”

Colin performed with the Bee Gees through the height of their first phase of stardom from 1967-69 before he left the band due to conflicts related to the band’s manager, Robert Stigwood, and moved back to Australia in 1974 with wife Joanne Newfield.

Until the Best of the Bee Gees, Colin has stayed out of the spotlight, becoming manager and then an artist, residing once again in Redcliffe, near Brisbane.

“I lived up here when I was a young child; it’s strange how the wheel of life turns,” he said.

“It’s a lovely place, and I’m really quite settled here. I’m determined not to have any regrets.

“I live day to day. I try to stay young mentally, I read a lot, do a lot of crosswords. And it’s just wonderful that I’m able to still do this, musically.

“I just can’t’ imagine living without music, without an appreciation and love for music.

And I think what makes it even sweeter is that it’s come at this particular time in my life, out of the blue, so to speak.

“I’m just so happy at this time in my life that I’m involved with the band. It makes me feel whole.”

Colin and the Best of the Bee Gees will perform at Costa Hall on Saturday, November 5.

First Nations business hub close

By Matt Hewson Ngarrimili, a not-for-profit charity that provides support to aspiring or established Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses, creatives and entrepreneurs, will open its business and retail hub in the centre of Geelong in December.

Ngarrimili was founded in 2018 by current chief executive and Yorta Yorta man Cormach Evans.

Since then the charity has had a positive impact on over 2000 First Nations businesses

through its personally tailored support, workshops and co-working spaces.

Ngarrimili deputy executive officer and Wakaya woman Bek Lasky said the new hub, Murran, will provide the organisation with even more opportunities to help aspiring First Nations businesspeople.

“Murran means eucalyptus in Wadawurrung language, and it’s right on Malop Street,” Ms Lasky said.

“It will consist of a retail store, a gallery, a cafe and a co-working space with hotdesking options, meeting rooms and conference rooms

as well.

“Murran is the first of its kind across Australia, and it will provide lots of employment opportunities in terms of running the space as well as business pathways through Ngarrimili’s mission to provide support to entrepreneurs.”

One such entrepreneur Ngarrimili has supported in the past is Kaley Nicholson, who, along with her mother Joanne, co-founded camping experience and product company Yilam in 2021.

“Prior to starting this business, I’ve never been a business person; my background is

policy development and legislation reform,” Ms Nicholson said.

“When you’re a business owner it’s a totally different mindset, a totally different way of working. If we weren’t able to access the support from Ngarrimili we wouldn’t have been able to be anywhere near as far along this journey as we are.

“They’ve been amazing. We were really clear on our idea and vision for Yilam, so with Ngarrimili it was really about tapping into practical, hands-on advice and support.”

The Gordon wins big The Gordon Institute of TAFE was presented with three awards at the recent Victorian International Education Awards, including the prestigious Premier’s Award for International Education Provider of the Year.

In addition to the Premier’s Award, the Gordon won awards for Excellence in International Student Experience and Excellence in International Education (TAFE).

The Gordon chief executive Joe Ormeno said he was proud of his organisation’s commitment to its students.

“Our team has worked tirelessly over the past two years to ensure our international students stayed strongly connected to the institute, the community and each other,” Mr Ormeno said.

“It’s a tremendous acknowledgement, especially on the back of what has been a challenging period. While our focus will always be on our students, awards like this serve as great recognition of our work.”

The Gordon instigated a range of initiatives

throughout the COVID-19 lockdowns to minimise the impact of the pandemic on its students, including food relief parcels, phone check-ins, mental and general health support referrals and tailored administrative and financial support.

Executive director of commercial business Jana Perera said the awards were a result of the Gordon’s student-first approach.

“Based in regional Victoria, we recognise that it is imperative that our students feel supported – to mitigate any potential feelings of isolation and loneliness,” Ms Perera said.

“Our commitment to providing a supportive living and learning environment also extends to connecting students with local employers to give them valuable opportunities to gain experience in their industry, while strengthening their connection to the community.”

James Street Gallery co-ordinator Teresa Lawrence said the gallery was proud to help the wildlife organisation in its fight to save the orange-bellied parrot.

“It is difficult to comprehend but in the Geelong region alone, there are 84 endangered birds,” Ms Lawrence said.

“At the exhibition opening last Friday Chris Morley, the Bellarine Peninsula Orange-bellied Parrot Reginal Group

Elite invitation for Elijah A Barwon Heads teenager is one of 10 athletes worldwide in his age group to be invited to a huge CrossFit competition in Florida next year.

Elijah Kuriel is rated fourth best in the world in the 13-15 age group heading into the Wodopolooza competition in Miami in January.

The 15-year-old Kardinia International College student first tried CrossFit two years ago and has made a rapid ascent since.

Elijah does most of his training at CrossFit Ocean Grove and said he has always enjoyed working out.

“Mum went to CrossFit one day and encouraged me to come along,” he said.

“Mum and dad owned a gym in Melbourne so I’ve always had that exposure.”

Elijah qualified for Wodopolooza by sending in a compulsory YouTube video to the competition judges.

Elijah still does other teen boy things such as footy, boogieboarding, bike riding and hanging with his mates.

His dedication to CrossFit, however, is evident when he revealed he wakes at 5am every morning to train two to three hours a day.

He is most looking forward to meeting the other nine athletes who have qualified and learning as much as he can. He is the only Australian to be invited.

However, Elijah’s path to Florida is not a formality. He has to raise about $15,000 to pay for the trip. Flights and accommodation alone will cost around $10,000.

The Guide INSIDE THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE ABC TV, Sunday, 7.30pm

If you’ve ever looked at the gleaming white shells of the Sydney Opera House and wondered what goes on inside, wonder no more. For the first time in its history, the hallowed hall has allowed cameras to go behind the scenes to reveal what it takes to run one of the world’s most iconic performing arts centres. The best live performances can sometimes feels like a magic trick, and it’s fascinating to see the incredible work that goes into making them happen.

A wonderfully timely reminder of the love and dedication underpinning an industry that has struggled more than most over the past few years.

CSI: VEGAS 10, Saturday, 8.30pm

Lovable chat show host Graham Norton always gets a superb collection of guests, but he might just have outdone himself in this season 30 premiere. For starters, Hollywood icon Jamie Lee Curtis drops by to discuss Halloween Ends.

Comedy royalty Eric Idle speaks about surviving cancer, but does so with his usual irreverence and humour. If that’s not enough, David Tennant and rising star Lydia West also take a seat on the famous red couch to discuss their latest projects on stage and screen. To cap it all off is the musical guest – fresh off his amazing AFL Grand Final appearance – the inimitable Robbie Williams.

While initially meant to be a limited series, this CSI: Crime Scene Investigation reboot was so popular it was renewed for a second season.

While Jorja Fox and William Petersen (aka Sara and Grissom) have left the series, the producers have managed to lure the great Marg Helgenberger (pictured) back to the fold, as she reprises her Emmy-nominated role of Catherine Willows for the first time since 2015. Willows joins Maxine Roby’s (Paula Newsome) Las Vegas crime lab team as a consultant, but she’s quietly on a personal mission – her friend and former student Grace went missing three weeks ago, and Willows wants answers.

ENVIRONMENT

The far north is a haven for birds I had a marvellous time in the wonderful tropical paradise of Cairns.

I counted 139 species of birds seen, including 21 new species for me, which happily took my Australian bird list to over 500 species.

The highlights were seeing a flock of sarus cranes (which look very much like brolgas, but they have more of the red plumage colouring on the head and neck), and a trip to Michaelmas Cay where I saw black noddies, brown boobies, sooty terns and a massive great frigatebird.

I had a lovely walk around the farm in Wallington where I conduct a bird count for the Birdlife Australia ‘birds on farms project’ four times a year, during every season. I was very sorry to hear that Bob, the owner of the farm, had passed away in August.

Bob was passionate about the environment, and he planted many trees on his farm to provide habitats for birds to thrive in.

Bob will be sadly missed. While walking around Bob’s farm I saw two shining-bronze cuckoos, three swamp harriers, a family of black swans, weebills, striated pardalotes, dusky woodswallows and a flock of cattle egrets.

I received an email from Andrew with a lovely image of a New Holland honeyeater feeding on a grass tree flower spike in the Ocean Grove Nature Reserve. New Holland honeyeaters are the most common honeyeater seen around the Bellarine, and they are so photogenic.

I also received an email from Nicole who has recently returned to Australia after living in the

Advertising feature

Right: Jen’s shining-bronze cuckoo at Wallington (top); Andrew’s New Holland honeyeater at ocean Grove Nature Reserve.

USA for 30 years.

Nicole described herself as an avid beginner birder and her 157th Australian bird was a migratory shorebird, namely a ear-tailed godwit at blue rocks beach (at the west the end of 13th Beach). Nicole found a pretty cool bird to be her 157th.

Godwits used to roost on the Barwon River Estuary at the end of Lelean Street in Ocean Grove for years but have not done so for around 10 years.

I received an email from wonderful birder Robin, who photographed a pair of pied oystercatchers in front of her house, and she reported the flag on one of the birds (C2).

FEATURING ... HEALTHY LIVING

She was informed that this bird was tagged at Westernport and is now 19 years of age.

I received an email from Carole, who is an integral member of the Bellarine Birdlife Group.

This group has just been in Cohuna on the Murray River. The group explored bushland, Friends of Cohuna Indigenous Plants Garden and Kow Swamp, as well as farmland.

The caravan park at Cohuna was also favourable for exploring as there were waders, water birds, raptors and smaller birds.

Carole and the Bellarine Bird group also went to 13th Beach with wonderful Amelia Formby (Milly), who is flying an ultralight aircraft around Australia to raise awareness of

the plight of migratory shorebirds.

Milly is a pilot, zoologist and illustrator and has a website which can be found at wingthreads.com.

She also has written a Children’s book ‘Wing Threads A Shorebird Flying Adventure’. They managed to see some migratory birds (although a limited number due to being a Saturday and the public wandering around the beach) including two Pacific golden plovers, the one bar-tailed godwit and 15 red-necked stints.

Carole has photographed the golden plovers at 13th Beach before and wondered if they are the same ones who return each year.

Are your feet harming your body?

KNEE / SHIN PAIN

KIDS CONCERNS

FOOT / ARCH PAIN

ARTHRITIS

Feet can set off a chain reaction through the rest of the body.

Did you know your feet could be the cause of all sorts of physical pains and problems in other parts of your body? This includes: ankles, shins, knees, hips and back.

Our feet are our foundation, they support our whole body and are involved in most of our daily activities, so if there are problems with the feet it’s logical it can set off a chain reaction throughout the rest of the body. The way our foot hits the ground and propels our movement to walk, run, jump etc is critical to the way the entire lower limb functions, and plays a key role in how the forces and stresses of movements are distributed through the joints and tissues of our lower limbs i.e. ankles, knees, hips etc.

These stresses and forces are what contribute to overuse issues, repetitive stress syndromes, soft tissue injuries and our overall balance and mobility. The feet aren’t always the culprit but when you have any lower body pain or injury the whole lower limb needs to be considered and examined, not just the site of the pain.

So if you have ankle, shin, knee, hip or any

other leg or lower back pain or injuries, it is wise to have the entire lower limb looked at by an experienced musculoskeletal podiatrist.

They can examine your biomechanics and overall function, from toes to hips, to ascertain what is causing and contributing to your issues.

Getting your feet checked can also help pick up early warning signs of health issues, prevent and treat aches, pains and injuries throughout the lower limbs and assist or prevent serious and accumulative injuries and degenerative conditions.

Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s most experienced musculoskeletal and sports podiatry companies, specifically focus on preventing and assisting foot and leg pain, injuries, degenerative conditions such as arthritis and children’s growth and development disorders.

Foot and Leg Pain Clinics are located right across Melbourne and in Geelong West.

ENTERTAINMENT

Celebration of French culture

By Matt Hewson Alliance Française de Geelong and National Trust Australia are partnering to bring la belle vie to the Heights in Geelong in a celebration of French culture, food, wine and entertainment.

With a market of over 30 stalls, a food court, a dedicated kids’ area, roving entertainers and live music, the inaugural Le Festival Français will be held on October 29 and 30.

Festival marketing and sponsorship manager Catherine Middlemiss said the festival, with its breadth of entertainment offerings and its idyllic location, would delight both francophiles and those new to French culture.

“It really is a celebration of all things French; French produce and merchandise, French art, music,” Ms Middlemiss said.

“There will be great bread and cheese, there will be wine and cognac, there’s a puppet show.

We haven’t been able to travel for so long, so we’re bringing a little bit of France to Geelong.

“It’s for those who love going to France and haven’t been able to over the past few years,

and for those who have never been to France to come along and learn about a different culture.”

Ms Middlemiss said ticket sales had been strong so far, with festival organisers expecting anywhere between 1500 and 2000 festival-goers each day.

“We were going to do it in March of this year, but there was still some doubt around COVID and people venturing out, so we moved it to the long weekend in October,” she said.

“We did consider that with the four-day break people might be leaving Geelong to get away, but it looks like we’ll have plenty coming to Geelong and the coast, so we’re looking forward to a really great weekend.”

French Australian chanteuse Emma Hamilton will perform on Saturday night in a separately ticketed show, while award winning podcaster Oliver Gee and French textbook author and lavender grower Judy Comley will also be making special presentations over the weekend.

Prepare to be spooked Just in time for Halloween, Spookfest returns to the Bellarine Peninsula with a double celebration at the iconic Potato Shed.

The free event pays homage to all things spooky with a haunted house, an adults-only performance, magic shows, characters in costume, live shows, face painting and appearances by roaming reptiles and ghouls.

The event will be emceed by renowned actor and magician Richard Vegas, who will bring his own show to Spookfest with partner Julia Madotti.

One of Vegas’ acts involves swallowing razor blades, but he stresses there is plenty for younger spookgoers to enjoy.

“I like to push the envelope a bit,” he says.

“It’s a tongue in cheek presentation that walks the line that you don’t know if it’s real or not.

The beauty of magic and the beauty of illusion is you have to have those questions of reality.

“It has to seem that it’s real and yet it has to be that impossible that you question the reality of it.

“It’s a very dangerous thing to be doing. I have hurt myself a number of times in the past.

We are dealing with real razor blades.”

Vegas will host the event in the character of a count from Transylvania (of course) and will also perform. Juggling both requires some skill.

“I get to watch it, but the thing about being an emcee and perform is you are pretty much on the whole time,” he says. “If something goes 18 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 21 October, 2022

wrong, it’s your job to fix it. There’s not a lot of relaxation. The show must go on.”

Spookfest will feature dance routines, interactive performances with the audience and magic with kids on stage.

“Kids are great because they are entertaining within themselves,” Vegas says.

Spookfest is on Saturday, October 29 at 6pm and Sunday, October 30 at 11am at the Potato Shed, Drysdale. It is is free, however you need to register at potatoshed.com.au to attend.

Art studios, collectives and galleries will throw open their doors next weekend for what is expected to be the biggest Bellarine Arts Trail event yet.

After a two-year pandemic-enforced hiatus, Barwon Heads Arts Council (BHAC) is presenting the arts trail that will comprise 32 venues across Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff and more than 60 artists in their studios or group venues. The two-day event, on October 29 and 30, features local artistic talent including painters, sculptors, photographers, illustrators, glass blowers, textile artists and more.

Bellarine Arts Trail co-ordinator Kaz Shirley said there could be thousands who attend the arts trail.

“We’re very excited that it’s back on and if have sunny weather, we could be inundated,” she said.

“We’re hoping for lots of locals and visitors and there could well be 3000 to 5000.

“It’s hard to count the numbers because of the very nature of the event that people

go to more than one venue, but in the past we have had very good estimates. It could go off.”

The trail gives visitors the opportunity to talk with artists who make the local art scene tick, admire and purchase their artwork.

A highlight this year is the inclusion of the newly built and opened Barwon Heads Arts & Community Hub. The hub will host a group exhibition of all participating artists over a nine-day period from October 22 to 30 from noon to 4pm.

The exhibition, titled ‘A Taste of the Trail’, will allow trailgoers to get a sneak peak of the artists’ work across the 32 venues.

“You can see a piece from each person, get the trail map and plan your weekend,” Ms Shirley said.

“I can’t believe the depth of talent we’ve got around here. We’re still finding new talent and still being approached by talent that have been living here.”

Fans turn out for T20 World Cup

Saman and Ganga Fernando.

Cricket fans rejoiced as the World Cup qualifying matches got under way in Geelong this week.

Sri Lanka, the Netherlands, Namibia, and the UAE all played matches at GMHBA Stadium.

Independent photographer Ivan Kemp went along on Tuesday to find many fans flooding in to support their team.

Geelong has come alive for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup as the city hosted six matches across five days, featuring the national sides of Namibia, the Netherlands, Sri Lanka and UAE. The six matches, played at Kardinia Park Stadium from October 16-20, are the only T20 World Cup fixtures to be played outside of Australian capital cities.

City of Greater Geelong mayor Peter Murrihy said hosting T20 World Cup matches gave Geelong the opportunity to show the world it was a leading Australian sporting city.

“Greater Geelong’s economy is getting a

boost from fans travelling to see the world-class T20 cricket action at Kardinia Park Stadium,” Mr Murrihy said.

“Geelong is showcasing itself on the world stage and we were thrilled that Indian cricket commentator and journalist Harsha Bhogle tweeted to his followers that he was impressed

by Kardinia Park and our beautiful waterfront.”

With increased public transport services running to and from Melbourne for the event, the city saw an influx of tourists and sporting fans for the event in a welcome boost to the local economy.

“Accommodation bookings are up on this time last year and it’s great to see cricket fans dining out at nearby cafes,” Mr Murrihy said, “The three days of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup matches at Kardinia Park Stadium comes off the back of the recent success of White Night and shows that Geelong is skilled at hosting major events.”

MOTOR

C-class offers mid-sized luxury

By Alistair Kennedy, Marque Motoring The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has been around in Australia since 1993 and has consistently been the company’s biggest selling model, at least until the last few years when overtaken by a number of SUV variants.

C-Class comes in three body styles: coupe, convertible and sedan each with the choice of 1.5-litre (C 200) or 2.0-litre (C 300) engines. Note that only the sedan versions have been given an upgrade at this time, the two-doors will arrive next year as will high-performance C43 and C63 AMG models. Our test car was a fully-optioned C 200 sedan.

Styling of latest Mercedes-Benz C-Class copies its premium S-Class sibling. (Supplied)

Styling The latest Merc C-Class sedan follows similar lines as its large S-Class sibling with similar coupe-like profile and scalable lines. A long bonnet and shorter front overhang highlights this sleek appearance.

The oval grille features a single horizontal bar with the iconic three-pointed star in the centre of the grille. In a clever piece of design, the grille infill comprises hundreds of tiny matching stars.

Both the C 200 and C 300 have the AMG Line kit and body styling fitted as standard as well as 19-inch five-spoke AMG alloy wheels.

There are ten colour choices, nine of them being $2500 metallic options. Styling features with the optional Vision Package include a dual-pane panoramic sunroof.

Interior The interior of the C-Class inherits a number of design features from the S-Class and it brings a real premium look that hasn’t been there in previous models. The 2022 upgrade

C-Class sedan gets a longer wheelbase than the previous model which converts into extra rear seat legroom.

You can store your user preferences and log into the car using a fingerprint scanner which allows multiple drivers to preset their seat position and cabin set up configured as soon as they activate their profile.

Boot capacity is 475 litres expandable with the rear seatbacks folded. This can be done without entering the car via small levers on either side of the boot’s interior.

Engines / transmissions Mercedes C 200 is powered by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with outputs of 150 kW and 300 Nm of torque from a very handy 1800 rpm linked with a 48-volt mildhybrid (MHEV) starter-generator that sits between the electric motor and nine-speed G-Tronic automatic transmission. The C 300 has a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol MHEV that generates 190 kW and 400 Nm.

TRIO OF INDEPENDENTLY OWNED WORKSHOPS SPECIALISING IN ALL EUROPEAN BRANDS

Safety Standard safety features in the C 200 include 10 airbags, including pelvic and thorax bags for the driver and front passenger; enhanced ABS brakes with hold and brake drying functions; autonomous emergency braking; adaptive cruise control; electronic stability program with acceleration skid control; active bonnet; lane keeping assist; blind spot monitoring; active distance assist; active parking assist; front and rear parking sensors; extended run-flat tyres; hill start assist; speed limit assist; and tyre pressure monitoring.

The optional Driving Assistance Plus package adds active blind spot assist; active brake assist; cross traffic alert; active distance assist; active emergency stop assist; lane change assist; steering assist; stop-and-go assist; evasive steering assist; and traffic sign recognition.

Driving The coupe-like roofline is likely to make entry and exit a bit awkward for taller occupants

but once ensconced the front seats are large, supportive and comfortable. By necessity the driving position was lower than we prefer but that’s normal in passenger cars of this ilk.

There’s good rear leg and headroom for four adults without any compromise required from those in the front seats. The centre rear seat is really only suitable for children. Again, this is pretty well the norm for cars of this size.

We loved the tablet-style infotainment screen, positioned in the centre and slightly angled towards, and within easy reach of the driver.

Our test car came with the optional head-up display but the number of features occupied far more of the windscreen than we liked.

One of the most impressive features of the C 200 is its fuel consumption. Listed at 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres, we averaged 7.1 L/100 km during our test and even managed 6.0 L/100km on our 100 km return trip from Gosford to Sydney. The nine-speed automatic shifted smoothly at all times with steering wheel-mounted paddles there if needed.

The feel of the brake pedal changes as you switch from regeneration mode to friction (normal) braking. During our testing we gradually became used to the feel.

While the C-Class isn’t designed as a sports machine you can set it up in sporty mode for more spirited driving. Handling is precise and the car responds nicely to inputs through the steering wheel.

Summing up Mercedes-Benz has tackled the tricky task of packing the luxury of its large S-Class into the mid-sized C-Class and done a pretty good job of it. It has come at a cost though, with the new C 200 priced at just under $80,000 before options and on-road costs.

SPORT

Cats in line for top four ladder finish Geelong has won four AFLW games in a row for the first time, beating West Coast by nine points to solidify a top-eight berth.

Eagles midfielder Mikayla Western suffered a gruesome-looking injury in the last quarter of the Cats’ 4.10 (34) to 4.1 (25) victory.

Western executed a perfect tackle on Claudia Gunjaca late in Saturday’s match, but landed awkwardly and her left arm took the impact.

Two trainers helped Western as she walked off the ground giving a thumbs-up, despite having her left arm in a sling.

Eagles coach Michael Prior said Western had sustained an elbow injury and had gone to hospital, but was in good spirits.

“She was pretty happy just before on the green whistle (painkiller),” Prior said.

Only inaccuracy stopped Geelong from enjoying a much more convincing win, with the Eagles hanging tough despite a 17-6 inside-50 count against them.

“I never felt like it was out of our control ... we just didn’t make the most of our opportunities,” Cats coach Dan Lowther said.

“It’s positive that we think we can get better.”

The Cats lie fifth with a 6-2 record and face a major test away next Friday night against third-placed Adelaide at Unley Oval.

West Coast won the first clearance of the match and Ella Roberts gave them an ideal start with a quick goal.

But their next did not come until the third term as Geelong took full control.

Livewire Cats midfielder Georgie Prespakis returned from a two-game ban and starred with 21 disposals and 12 tackles.

Amy McDonald, who successfully overturned a one-game ban at the tribunal earlier this week, was also high among the Cats’ best.

Nina Morrison had finger surgery last Monday but showed no ill effects, as she racked

up 19 disposals.

One of the highlights of the match was the duel between dangerous Cats forward Chloe Scheer and West Coast’s Sophie McDonald.

Scheer kicked 1.3 in their entertaining duel, while the Eagles defender was high among her side’s best.

When Scheer butchered a shot at goal in the last quarter, hitting the post, McDonald cheekily patted her on the back.

Eagles midfielder Emma Swanson was mighty, with a game-high 24 possessions, but too much of the match was played in Geelong’s half of the ground and West Coast were constantly on the back foot.

“They kept us in it a bit, they missed a lot of opportunities,” Prior said “That first half, they had a lot more territory than us and made it really hard for us to score.”

St Mary’s in good form LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers It was blue skies and bright sunshine for Tuesday’s Midweek competition this week, and Section 8 made the most of the dry weather.

St Mary’s continues to be the form side, with a 5-1 win at home over Moolap. The visitors started well with Mel Eddy and Dolores Barrow winning the first set 6-2, but Maureen Knight and Anne Rowan showed what 29 years of partnerships can do winning the second 6-1 for the home side.

From there St Mary’s took control of the match, with Rowan and Knight teaming with Jean Lonsdale and Lucy Pyle, daughter of Knight, winning the remaining four sets, before the teams enjoyed the ability to have lunch after the match, something that had not been possible during COVID restrictions.

Grovedale remained in second place with a 6-0 win over Point Lonsdale. With a late withdrawal, the ladies from Lonny started three sets down, and struggled as the day went on.

Robyn Elliott and Steph Thomas opened the match with a close 6-4 win, and Elliott following up in the next with a 6-3 when she partnered with Adele Boyd. Grovedale rounded out the win with a 6-0 to Thomas and Boyd in the last pushing themselves to within half a point of first.

going into the final two matches, both teams were poised to improve their ladder position depending on the results.

Leopold dug in and took both of the remaining sets 6-1, 6-4, improving its chances at remaining in the top four with two rounds to play, in a section where all teams are still in contention.

Snapper reports are still on the rise with more reports coming in each week with anglers starting to haul in some quality fish.

The bend of the channel off Clifton Springs is proving to be a hot location with plenty of fish being reported with some over 6kg.

Bait fishing either side of the tide change has been the standout times to fish, if you can time it on a sunrise or sunset, even better. Fresh calamari and pilchards have been the best baits and silver whiting has also been accounting for a few.

There has been plenty of gummy sharks getting caught while chasing snapper, mainly taking fresh squid or blood baits like salmon, some boats landing multiple in a session.

Clifton Springs has been a fishing hot spot this week with whiting reports coming in hot. Anglers have been doing some serious damage over the broken ground out front of Clifton Springs up towards Portarlington.

There has been a large number of smaller/undersized fish but if you’re willing to work your way through them, the bigger fish are there to be caught.

Pipis and squid have been the best baits.

Calamari remain in fine form off Clifton Springs with anglers finding bag limit captures and some at a fantastic size. Size 3.0 jigs in pilchard, whiting and white colours proving the best.

Queenscliff is another hot spot this week with the harbour fishing very well for silver trevally, salmon, pinkie snapper and whiting all on the chew.

Soft plastics 3-4 inch are producing the goods.

Anglers fishing baits have also been having some great success in this area also with pilchard fillets working best.

Point Lonsdale Bight is still the number one squid location with anglers having little issue in finding large numbers. Size 3.5 jigs and silver whiting have been doing most of the damage.

Offshore Barwon Heads has had a hot snapper and gummy shark bite along the 30 metre line. Good to see the rain hasn’t affected it too badly out there and the fish aren’t slowing down. Fishing the bottom with fresh blood baits and squid has been lethal with snapper to 7kg and gummy sharks to 15kg being taken.

Grovers look to advance Ocean Grove 1 bowls side has a prime opportunity to advance up the premier division ladder this week when it plays Bareena at home this Saturday.

Bareena comes into the match against Ocean Grove 1 on the back of two straight losses after winning its season opener against Bell Post Hill, and the Grovers will hope to capitalise on Bareena’s lack of form.

Ocean Grove 1 currently sit in fourth behind Eastern Park in second and Queenscliff in third, who face each other at Eastern Park, giving the Grovers a chance to pick up enough points from a win this week to overtake the loser of the second versus third matchup.

After winning its first two fixtures against City of Geelong and Drysdale, Ocean Grove 1 travelled to face Lara last week, which had lost its first two games of the season.

Skip Bradley Pavey won his rink against Michael James Kelly’s foursome with a commanding scoreline of 25-8 in what proved to be a hugely important result for the day.

Peter Loe’s team was defeated 22-15 by Mike Warner, while Lara’s Don Grellet got the better of Matt Flapper, winning 24-14.

The three results left scores level on 54 shots as Ocean Grove 1 left five points on the table, the margin by which it trails Queenscliff on the ladder going into this weekend’s action.

Newly-promoted Ocean Grove 2’s mixed fortunes continued last week with a one-shot loss to Drysdale, leaving the Grover’s second side in sixth spot on the ladder with a win and two losses, just two points behind Drysdale in fifth.

Ocean Grove 2 host Lara this week, and will be hoping for a win at home, where a 3-0 win would see them overtake Drysdale and climb into fifth spot.

City of Geelong travels to play Bell Post Hill this weekend in a match where both sides will look to get their first victory of the season.

Labor pledges $2 million North Shore Football Netball Club will benefit from a promise by Labor candidate for Lara Ella George’s promise of $2 million towards the upgrade of women’s change facilities.

The pledge is dependent on Labor being re-elected at next month’s state election.

North Shore’s Paul Brady was rapt at the announcement.

“North Shore are ecstatic at this $2 million funding announcement for female friendly facilities, which is the culmination of many years of hard work by our dedicated members,” he said.

“Female friendly facilities support the participation of women and girls in the sports they love, and support clubs to embed an inclusive and welcoming culture.

“North Shore has a proud history and will be celebrating its centenary in 2027. This announcement goes a long way to plan the club centenary and ensure North Shore remains a viable community club into the future.”

Ms George said: “Community sport is the lifeblood of so many suburbs, bringing families together through a shared love of sport.

“Local clubs work hard to fundraise for better facilities for their teams, but as more families struggle to make ends meet clubs may not be able to rely on the generosity of their members.

“That’s why the Labor government is backing local sports clubs and families to deliver better sports grounds and facilities.”

Hopes high that rain will hold off for round four Round four of Bellarine Cricket Association gets underway tomorrow, weather permitting.

Round three was completely washed out, but the BPCA is hoping games will go ahead this weekend, despite the forecast of rain around the region.

The match of the round in A1 Grade looks to be between Queenscliff and Anglesea.

Queenscliff has two wins so far this season while Anglesea has only got onto the field once, accounting for St Leonards in the opening fixture.

A host of talent will be on display at

Queenscliff with star Seas bat Joel Davies making an immediate impact on the competition in round one with an unbeaten 71.

Frank Mileto has already racked up a 68 for the Coutas and with youngster Mitch Potter, allrounder Lachie Kidd and star bat Tim Frankenburg, it looks like Queenscliff will be thereabouts at the end of the season.

Barrabool hosts A1 newcomers Armstrong Creek.

Barrabool has had a habit of playing in close games over the past 12 months and its last encounter was no different.

The Bulls had a thrilling tie with Ocean Grove last start and will need to play well to beat the Titans.

The Bulls will be looking for Kane Pickering and Jack Purcell to get runs while Armstrong Creek will be led by the class of Brandon Ross and Daniel Maclean.

Jan Juc’s Nick Hyden has already emerged as one of the frontrunners for the most runs in the comp this season.

Hyden has scores of 84 and 35 already and he will be looking for runs at Inverleigh tomorrow.

Inverleigh needs a win and Kobe George will be keen to get runs after two solid starts so far.

Ocean Grove travels to St Leonards having picked up one tie and a loss in its two matches.

St Leonards is yet to taste success and will be relying on Kanishka Nawagamuwa, who has scores of 92 not out and 24.

Ocean Grove needs to take advantage of the Saints’ thin bowling line up.

Paul Jubber only has a couple more games until he heads to Italy for six months and Fletcher Long and Shaun Fankauser are also capable of going big.
