Soaking up the rays ... finally After the wettest October on record and a miserable start to November, Geelong finally received some spring warmth this week, albeit with thunderstorms thrown in just to remind us that La Nina isn’t quite done with us just yet. The mercury climbed into the mid and high 20s and locals and visitors took advantage of it to ditch the winter coats.

Labor, Lib Games battle By Matt Hewson Geelong’s involvement in the 2026 Commonwealth Games has become an election battleground, with Victorian opposition leader Matthew Guy offering an alternate plan to the one presented by Premier Daniel Andrews. Last week Labor confirmed that Geelong would host the closing ceremony at Kardinia Park and construct an aquatic centre in Armstrong Creek and a gymnastics and weightlifting venue and athletes’ village in Waurn Ponds. Mr Guy attacked Labor over Melbourne’s hosting of the opening ceremony, saying he would award that event to Geelong as well were

he to become premier. “There is no better choice to kick off regional Victoria’s Commonwealth Games than in the largest stadium outside of Melbourne,” Mr Guy said. “If Daniel Andrews doesn’t rethink this decision a Matthew Guy Liberals and Nationals government will relocate the opening ceremony to Geelong.” In addition to promising a “complete reform” of Geelong’s public transport system and a revitalisation of Little Malop Street, the Liberal vision of the Games would also result in the gymnastics and weightlifting facility being built in Armstrong Creek instead. The proposed Armstrong Creek aquatic

centre would be scrapped, with the swimming and diving events instead being held at Kardinia Park Aquatic Centre. Liberal candidate for Bellarine Donnie Grigau said the Kardinia Park Aquatic Centre would receive upgrades that would turn it into a world-class facility and create jobs for the region. “Our commitment will support many local jobs during and after construction of these facilities and provide real solutions to the lack of options in the area,” Mr Grigau said. In reply, Labor claimed these changes in plans would not only throw Games preparations into chaos, but would deprive the Greater Geelong community of sporting infrastructure.

“The Geelong Swimming Club has told us that a competition-grade swimming pool in Armstrong Creek is the best thing, not just for the Commonwealth Games, but the needs of swimmers in our region for years to come,” Geelong MP Christine Couzens said. “Matthew Guy’s cuts would put that all at risk.” South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman claimed Mr Guy’s alternate plans didn’t take into consideration the needs of the region. “Matthew Guy’s Liberals have ignored the needs of the Armstrong Creek community, preparing to cut much-needed facilities – showing they cannot be trusted to deliver the Commonwealth Games,” he said.

Sullivan the new mayor Trent Sullivan is Geelong’s new mayor. Councillor Sullivan was elected unopposed on Tuesday night and becomes the 15th mayor since the amalgamated City of Greater Geelong was formed in 1995. The former deputy mayor replaces Peter Murrihy who was in the top job for five months after replacing Stephanie Asher, who stood down as mayor shortly after an unsuccessful campaign as the Liberal candidate for the federal seat of Corangamite. A resident of Portarlington, Cr Sullivan said he was honoured to be elected as mayor. “The position of mayor is one among equals, and it’s how I intend to approach the

role,” he said. Cr Sullivan has represented the Bellarine Ward since he was first elected to council in 2017. He has served as deputy mayor since November 2020, while chairing the Bellarine Multi Arts Facility (Potato Shed), creative communities and culture portfolio and tourism portfolio. Cr Anthony Aitken, from the Windermere Ward, was elected unopposed as deputy mayor. Crs Sullivan and Aitken will lead the council until the scheduled Victorian local government elections in October 2024. Cr Sullivan thanked outgoing Cr Murrihy

for his leadership over the past five months, and also praised Cr Asher for assisting him during her term as mayor. “I look forward to working with a proven and capable deputy, Anthony Aitken, and all of my fellow councillors over this period,” he said. “There are a lot of challenges that our organisation and our community faces. “But every challenge is an opportunity to improve how we operate, and how we meet the needs of our community. “Our duty and our purpose is to provide the services and infrastructure to improve the quality of life for all members of our community.”

Small pleasures at bonsai show

range from newly developed trees through to close to 100 years old. The Geelong Bonsai Club show is at Geelong Masonic Centre, Belmont on November 12 and 13 from 9am to 5.30pm.

Workers sitting on annual leave New research shows that nearly half of Australians have more than 20 days annual leave owing and a third haven’t had a holiday in over a year. Recent data from employment marketplace Seek suggest that Australian workers are sitting on roughly $65 billion in unused annual leave, with one in 30 unable to recall when their last holiday was. For Geelong resident Cameron, who works in the construction industry as a cost planning expert, it’s not a matter of choice or even a result of pressure from higher-ups; it’s just the way it is. “Typically in construction you’d get a break at Christmas, but the last three or four years clients have expected us to run over that period,” Cameron said. “So we haven’t really had that automatic shutdown we used to have, and that means you just keep accruing leave. “We sort of get support from the business to try to make sure it’s used. Their argument is, you’ve just got to schedule it in. “But that’s easier said than done, and all of a sudden, you’ve ended up with 15 weeks of annual leave.” Cameron said over three years without a real holiday was beginning to take its toll. “It’s gotten to the point where I just need to shut down,” he said. “In general I feel sort of disconnected, and just desperate for a break. “Part of my issue is that sitting at home at night, I’ll turn off my notifications, but I’ll still invariably click the message button to check. “Then I’ll see the emails and it’ll destroy my night. There will be 15 emails and three of them will be an issue tomorrow; I shouldn’t have even looked at them.” Seek psychologist Sabina Read said holidays were an important part of maintaining our ability to stay both healthy and productive. “We aren’t limitless vessels, we can’t continue to add more to our loads without taking something away,” she said. “A holiday from work can be just the tonic to help balance our mind, body and soul.” Cameron has reached the same realisation, having planned a three-month holiday with his wife starting this Christmas. “We’ve got a bit planned, we’ll go overseas and also do bits and pieces around the house,” he said. “It’ll be nice to shut off completely. I’m already planning how to de-link myself from work during that period.” 12577140-AV45-22

Shelley Egberts fondly remembers Saturdays being spent as a young child with her father exploring the art of bonsai. They would explore nurseries to buy materials and come home to create their own bonsai while looking at bonsai books from the family bookshelf. Now Shelley is Geelong Bonsai Club secretary and the club is holding its Bonsai Show on November 12 and 13. “In 2018 or 2019 a friend of mine mentioned he was joining the local bonsai club,” Shelley said. “Remembering the fond memories of my childhood, I decided to nervously go along and see what was involved. “The club welcomed me with open arms. I have since enjoyed years of workshops, demonstrations, mentoring while growing in my bonsai journey, fully supported by and amazing group of highly skilled and talented enthusiasts, whom I now consider close friends. “I’m so grateful to have become part of this club and would encourage others to come along to the GBCI monthly meetings and join our little community.” Not only will the show feature a superbly curated display of bonsai, visitors will be able to learn how to shape and style a bonsai in real time demonstrations with members who will be working on their own trees and meet and talk with some of Geelong’s bonsai experts. There will be demonstrations showing the best methods for shaping and repotting the plants. If you are keen to try your hand at your own bonsai journey or need to stock up on supplies, there will be a sales room where you can purchase everything you require. While these tiny trees give the impression that they would be simple to look after, they take many years cultivating and shaping, and the Geelong Bonsai Club itself has grown and evolved in a similar manner. Five individuals came together in 1979 to begin a bonsai club and it now boasts a committed and passionate community of

Firstly I would like to thank the outgoing mayor Peter Murrihy for his service to this office. The office of mayor is no light duty to undertake, and he performed this with respect and great zeal for the position. I would also like to thank former mayor Stephanie Asher, who I had the honour of being deputy mayor with for quite a period. I will always value what I learnt through that time. I would also like to thank my fellow councillors, for electing me to this position of leadership. Whilst indeed a leader, the position of mayor, I believe, has always been one among equals, and that is how I intend to approach this period going forward. I would also like to thank my family who are here today, for their attendance. It means a lot. I would also like to thank all the staff of the City of Greater Geelong. They do an amazing job, day in and day out, particularly now as we deal with the impact of floods and the repairs to roads, footpaths, waterways and all areas of our community. They are working tirelessly to make sure these areas are safe, once again. To the road ahead. We all understand the economic environment we are operating in. Inflation is rising, cost of goods and services is increasing. These are not small challenges, but every challenge is an opportunity. An opportunity to improve how we run as an organisation, how we operate, and how we rise

to meet the growing needs of our community. The duties and responsibilities of local government are constantly expanding. From filling in potholes and collecting rubbish, to implementing drone mapping and fostering international collaboration. These are all items of importance, but the challenge of operating under restrictive circumstances, also present us with the opportunity of re-assessing our base, of analysing and reinforcing the foundation of council. To make sure that our bedrock is strong, so that our services and infrastructure can continue to flourish. The community is facing many of these challenges at the same time. No-one is immune from the rising cost of living. It is our duty, and our purpose, to provide infrastructure and services which improve the

quality of life of all those in the community – not just at this time, but for future generations. We, as councillors, are but temporary stewards of the City of Greater Geelong. Our job is a simple one. That is inch by inch, day by day, year by year, we leave the city better than when we found it. And I have no doubt that all councillors, and everyone employed by the City of Greater Geelong, shares this purpose. This is a Council that is driven to get on with the job and get things done. I am honoured to be elected to this position, and to do my part. I am looking forward to the journey ahead, to working with a proven and capable deputy mayor, Anthony Aitken, and every councillor. This is a fine council of proactive community members, and it is for each and every community member, that we do serve.

Tennis club courts under threat Meredith Tennis Club is at risk of losing two of its six tennis courts as the Golden Plains Shire looks at options for building new cricket nets for the Meredith Cricket Club. Meredith Tennis Club committee member Bridget Dyer said it was disappointing to receive communication from the shire concerning the possible loss of some of its courts. “It’s really disappointing that the council wants to take away an asset from a club that has been built up over the last three years and is currently doing so well, to give it to a

small organisation without any junior teams or female players,” Ms Dyer said. “The local cricket club is an adult, male-only team and doesn’t have as many members as Meredith Tennis Club; 51 perc ent of our members are female and 49 per cent are under 16.” Ms Dyer said the cricket club had nominated a different area for the new nets, but council didn’t want to pay for necessary sewerage alterations in that area, and so had decided to take the courts. “My understanding is they’d have to fix

the sewerage issue, which would cost roughly $100,000 to fix, so it’s easier just to use the tennis courts,” she said. “The cricket club has emailed the council as well, saying they don’t want to take the tennis courts off us and proposing some alternatives. “But the council obviously don’t want to spend so much money and have already asked Tennis Victoria to do an assessment of whether a town our size needs six courts.” In the last three years the club has gone from having no teams to having six junior teams, a

senior team and an orange ball competition. Golden Plains Shire Council (GPSC) said it undertook site surveying work at the Meredith Recreation Reserve. “The results revealed the Meredith Recreation Reserve Committee’s preferred site is unable to be used due to septic lines in place and insufficient available space. The removal of one existing tennis court has been identified as a possible alternative, and a range of options will be further explored,” a spokesperson said.

Program funding wait The Committee for Geelong’s Leaders for Geelong program, a highly popular initiative that seeks to build participants’ leadership capacity and connection with their community, is under threat due to lack of government funding. Leaders for Geelong is one of nine such programs across the state overseen by Victorian Regional Community Leadership Programs (VRCLP). Established in 2012, the VRCLP secretariat is seeking $10 million over the next four years to fund the nine community leadership programs, some of which have been running since 1996. VRCLP chair and Committee for Geelong chief executive Jennifer Cromarty said the VRCLP was surprised at the lack of funding allocation in the May budget given the long-term success of the programs. “During the last three years there have been two consultancy reviews of the programs across the state, both of which said they were incredibly valuable and impactful and should

be funded by the state government or run by it as a core service,” Ms Cromarty said. “With that being said, we were surprised we didn’t get an announcement in the May budget. So we’ve been working really hard with the government and Regional Development Victoria to get some security. “Now it’s November, and we’re a bit nervous. It’s about forward planning and staffing. It’s at the point where our people need to be looking elsewhere.” Ms Cromarty said Leaders for Geelong played an important role in supporting the community by initiating projects that saw young leaders become involved in their city, such as the Active Geelong and Promoting Djilang projects. “These are just some examples of the community initiatives Regional Leadership alumni deliver across Victoria every year; a capability and commitment to building community resilience that will be lost without secure funding,” Ms Cromarty said.

PUTTING POWER BACK IN THE HANDS OF VICTORIANS A re-elected Andrews Government will bring back government ownership of energy. It’ll deliver cheaper power bills and lower emissions while putting power back in the hands of Victorians. We’ll bring back public ownership of energy resources by reviving the State Electricity Commission as an active energy market participant to build new renewable energy projects. Under the plan, the government will hold a controlling interest in each of those projects. That means renewables will replace coal, and these new ‘power stations’ will be owned by every Victorian to beneﬁt every Victorian. Labor will make an initial

investment of $1 billion towards delivering 4.5 gigawatts of power through renewable energy projects. The State will have a controlling interest, with the balance of funding invested from like-minded entities – such as industry super funds – who are focused on a fair deal for Victorians, not just proﬁts.

delivering it. We’ve cut emissions by more than any other state, tripled the amount of renewable energy and created thousands of jobs. Only Labor is doing what matters – replacing unreliable and privately-owned coal power with clean, government-owned renewable energy.

The new SEC will become an energy market proponent under a 10-year plan to deliver cleaner, cheaper energy, with all proﬁts invested back into the network. It’ll make sure it’s the Victorian public, not coal companies, who enjoy the returns. We’re not just talked about climate action – we’re getting on with

City faces flood of road repairs The City of Greater Geelong has estimated that up to one-third of the region’s unsealed roads were washed away in the recent floods. The roads will require resheeting and the city is pleading with ratepayers to be patient while it attempts to clear the backlog of requests relating to roads, drainage and pits. The city received 513 requests for service relating to roads between October 13 and November 3, and 447 requests relating to drainage and pits. This is more than three times the volume

from the same period last year, with further requests still coming in each day. City services director Guy Wilson-Browne said workers were getting through the backlog, but delays were unavoidable. “There is simply an enormous amount of work to be done, and it will take time to get through,” he said. “We understand that every request made by our community is important, but we are having to prioritise our repairs based on safety and greatest benefit to the majority.

“Roads that have washed away, are impassable and/or have significant shoulder damage are receiving high priority. “Adding to the challenge, there is a shortage of both contractors and materials available given the huge flood impact across Victoria. “We thank the community in advance for being kind and considerate to our staff and contractors who are out on the roads doing their absolute best in very testing circumstances. “We recognise that the wait will be

frustrating, but can only ask for patience with the assurance that we will get everything done as soon as we can.” The Ccty announced a three-month suspension of its road management plan on October 24 to enable a prioritisation of flood repairs. The plan sets the standards for inspection, maintenance and repair of sealed and unsealed roads, footpaths, shared paths, kerb and channel, bridges, waterway channels and traffic control devices.

Diabetes Victoria will hold its first in-person event in Geelong since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic when it hosts the ‘Living Well with Diabetes’ event on Wednesday, November 16. The sessions, which will be held at the Geelong Events Centre at Rydges Geelong, will provide the Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes community with information and advice about managing their diabetes, Lead presenters Diabetes Victoria dietitian Tim McMaster and diabetes nurse educator Jenny Hickleton will cover such topics as mental health, Glycaemic Index, mindful eating and dealing with COVID-19 while living with diabetes. Guests will also have the opportunity to ask questions and meet other people living with diabetes. “So much has changed for people living with diabetes since we were last in Geelong in person,” Mr McMaster said. “I’m looking forward to sharing new, helpful information with the community and to hear more about their experiences in managing diabetes.” With more than 13,000 people living with Type 2 diabetes in the Greater Geelong region, the Greater Geelong and Surf Coast districts both have a high prevalence of people with Type 1 diabetes compared to national figures. More than 10 per cent of people with diabetes in the Greater Geelong area live withTtype 1, as do 12.8 per cent of diabetics in the Surf Coast, compared to 8.3 per cent across Australia. The event is free, but registration is essential, and all attendees must hold an NDSS registration. To register of for more information visit ww.diabetesvic. org.au/living-well.

By Matt Hewson The Geelong Gallery has launched an exhibition that presents a selection of works by internationally acclaimed Australian artist Mandy Martin this week. ‘Mandy Martin - A Persistent Vision’ features a series of locally significant works spanning Martin’s 45-year career that were gifted to the gallery shortly before her death in 2021. Geelong Gallery director and chief executive Jason Smith said the works, many of them prints and based around themes of class struggles, industrialisation and the colonisation of the environment, were highly relevant to Geelong. “From her work from the 1970s and through to 2017, it’s relevant to Geelong as a city with an industrial heritage perched on the water in a remarkable landscape rich in indigenous history and industrial progress,” Smith said. “It’s relevant to all those people still living in Geelong who spent their lives working at the Ford factory, or Alcoa. There’s an honouring of those workers. “It’s also relevant because some of the works were actually made here on the south coast. One issue with which Mandy’s work engaged was that you can’t have industry perched on the water’s edge and not have consequences, not have effects on pristine natural habitats. “Also, one of our specialties here at Geelong Gallery is Australian printmaking, so she decided we should have as much of her print history as we possibly could.” Martin was a progressive feminist artist who held an active commitment to the environment and examined through her work the European and industrial colonisation of Australia. Mr Smith said the exhibition drew its name from Martin’s unceasing questioning of the

effects of social divides and “economically essential” industry on the land. “She’s a wide-ranging artist, but this exhibition has a real consistency in terms of her approach to industrial sites and images as symbols of human impact,” he said.

“It’s important to note that this exhibition is a partial one, it’s a slice of her work. And it’s a slice that’s relevant to Geelong, so we put together these works to tell that industrial story.” ‘Mandy Martin - A Persistent Vision’ is open until Sunday, February 5, 2023.

Draft teacher plan released Federal Education Minister Jason Clare has released the draft version of a National Teacher Workforce Action Plan, which intends to address the nation’s teacher shortage. The plan identifies six key areas, including elevating the profession, improving teacher supply, strengthening initial teacher education, maximising teaching time, understanding future teacher workforce needs and creating better pathways to support and retain teachers. Sacred Heart College Geelong deputy principal Tanya Malley voiced her support for the plan. “Sacred Heart College Geelong, like all schools, is enthusiastic about any plans to address teacher shortages and the challenge of delivering world class education and working environments,” she said. “The prioritisation and development of actions that will address teacher workforce needs are welcomed and like all schools we look forward to the implementation of strategies that elevate the teaching profession and enable us to deliver quality educational outcomes for our students.” Australian Education Union deputy federal president Meredith Peace said: “We welcome the recognition of these issues … and the allocation of Commonwealth funding to address the workforce crisis, including for bursaries to attract new students and mid-career professionals to undertake initial teacher education.”

GPs advocate for rural reform By Matt Hewson The Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) has called for urgent reforms to improve access to GP services across Victoria ahead of the upcoming state election. In a statement the RACGP asked the next state government to introduce changes in four areas: ensuring there are enough GPs in every postcode; supporting GP by supporting GPs to relocate to rural and remote communities; funding extended GP consultation for people transitioning from hospital care to the community; and supporting GP mental health and wellbeing. RACGP spokesperson and Geelong GP Dr

Bernard Shiu said governments needed to take responsibility for healthcare to forestall a projected lack of GPs outside of metropolitan areas. “We’re facing a big crisis, where in the next five to 10 years many older GPs will retire and we won’t have the new generation to cover the gap,” Dr Shiu said. “Only 13 per cent of medical students are willing to go into general practice, when in actual fact we need around 50 per cent to do so. “If the government is willing to make a difference we will be able to help, but we need them to fund grants, programs so GPs can train and work in regional areas.” Dr Shiu said GPs were facing a combination

of both unprecedented financial pressures and highest-ever levels of demand. “For many, many years the federal government’s Medicare rebate has not kept up with increasing inflation and costs,” Dr Shiu said. “The AMA suggests a 15-minute consultation with a GP should be in the range of $86-90. But the government is only giving us $39.75, which is a huge gap. Who is bearing the costs? It’s the GPs, but many are finding it very hard. Many GP clinics are starting to crumble, some are not surviving. “We don’t want our colleagues to start cutting corners, not paying staff appropriately or not doing things safely. We want them to be able to give patients comprehensive,

high-quality care. “At the moment, the only way we can do that is to start charging a little bit from the patient. And that’s why you’re seeing less and less universal bulk-billing clinics.” Dr Shiu said this was a chance for politicians to stop the rot before more Victorians suffered the effects of the GP crisis. “We’re advocating these points ahead of the state election to get the message out,” Dr Shiu said. “Hopefully whoever gets into office will be able to help us. We’re grassroots doctors; I don’t drive a Ferrari or live in a mansion. All I want is you and I, our families, to get the proper care.”

Lights are set to dazzle Organisers of Adventure Park Geelong’s Christmas Festival of Lights are hoping to eclipse last year’s crowd of 85,000. The annual Christmas lights show will use three million lights and more than 1000 installations, rides and live performances at Adventure Park, Wallington. Kicking off on Friday, November 18 until New Year’s Day 2023, the theme park will be transformed into the biggest festive, sparkling wonderland yet, with a walking trail stretching more than two kilometres illuminating the night sky. This year’s spectacle will have more immersive installations to experience, including a new air balloon ride in which festival-goers will float 20 metres into the sky for an epic view of the park. There will also be a roller coaster, Ferris wheel, carousel, tea cups, mini golf and more for the kids to enjoy.

“We’re so excited to showcase over three million lights and more than a thousand colourful and jaw-dropping light installations at our biggest Christmas display yet,” Adventure Park managing director Leanne Salmon said. “Adventure Park Geelong’s Christmas Festival of Lights really is the perfect festive activity for the entire family. And better yet, we’ll be offering free entry for any child under 90cm tall.” Guests will be treated to a visit from Santa himself at the where kids can write and post letters to the North Pole and have their professional Santa photos taken. Adults can sip on Christmas-themed cocktails while grazing on fare from an abundance of food pop ups and vans. Tickets can be purchased online in advance.

Labor makes free rego pledge Eligible apprentice tradies will receive free car registration if Labor is re-elected later this month. Premier Daniel Andrews announced the $9.7 million package at The Gordon in Geelong on Tuesday. Mr Andrews also announced the establishment of an apprenticeships taskforce to improve safety and fairness for apprentices as they get started in their careers and a parliamentary inquiry to crack down on bosses and contractors who refuse to pay their sub-contractors for completed works. Bricklayers, carpenters, joiners, electricians,

plumbers and chefs are among the Victorian apprentices expected to be eligible for fully free rego, if their employer can verify that the use of their vehicle is an essential part of their work. Apprentices who need their car for work are currently entitled to a 50 per cent discount on their registration that saves them $432 per year – this change would make it free, a saving of up to $865 per year. “Apprentices are the lifeblood of our Big Build – working hard to deliver the road, rail, schools and hospitals Victorians need. And they deserve a government that backs them,” Mr Andrews said.

“We know too many tradies are experiencing wage theft or losing too much time chasing late payments for jobs. It’s unacceptable and Labor will do something about it – because only Labor is doing what matters.” The apprenticeships taskforce will be co-designed and include workers, unions and industry to ensure the lived experiences of apprentices are at the heart of its work. The taskforce will report directly to the training and skills minister and the industrial relations minister and outcomes will be delivered in partnership with unions and industry, including legislation if necessary.

City Hall set to light up Experienced multimedia artist Georgie Pinn is behind this year’s City of Greater Geelong Christmas projections. City Hall will be illuminated for the Christmas in Geelong program with Ms Pinn’s projection having a test run on the building’s Gheringhap Street facade last week. Ian de Gruchy and Olaf Meyer will also contribute to the artwork. The display draws on the Christmas tradition of giving and the gesture of wrapping and unwrapping, and will feature designs and music inspired by the region’s community. The city selected Multimedia Events to produce its first Christmas display, which utilises City Hall’s sound and light projection system. Following the Christmas in Geelong opening night celebration on Saturday, November 12, the floating Christmas tree will be switched on at Steampacket Quay.

A marching band will lead community members to City Hall where the projections will launch at 9.30pm. Spectators will also be treated to the second fireworks display of the night, discharged from the City Hall rooftop. CR Peter Murrihy said the festive projections will see City Hall come alive with playful designs and a sense of wonder. “The animations on Gheringhap Street always create an electric atmosphere in Central Geelong and put the community in the festive spirit,” he said. “Off the back of captivating projections for White Night, NAIDOC Week, Reconciliation Week and ANZAC Day, this special commission will cement our region’s reputation of curating and presenting exceptional public art experiences.” After its Saturday, November 12 launch, the 12-minute display will run nightly from 8.30pm until 11.30pm.

Following the suspension of in-person circuit sittings, the County Court of Victoria implemented a new process for regional matters. Under the process, all pleas and appeals against sentences are provided with a fixed listing date upon committal or appeal lodgement. “The majority of these matters were conducted virtually using video conferencing software, with appearances in court permitted under limited circumstances,” a court spokesperson said. “This has reduced the delay for these types of matters.”

Remembrance Day on November 11 is a day to remember all soldiers killed in war. It differs from Anaz Day which was established under an act of parliament as a special tribute to Australians who have served overseas defending our nation. This Remembrance Day I will be thinking of the army of the Republic of Vietnam, commonly known as ARVN, and Australia’s ally in the Vietnam War. In 1968, 24,000 of ARVN’s soldiers were killed in action – an unbelievable statistic and a tragedy for both soldiers and their families. Even with such losses ARVN kept fighting until only three days before the fall of Saigon in April 1975, when they were ordered to surrender by the last president of South Vietnam. Lest we forget.

Dementia check A colleague of mine recently told me that he was concerned by his recent behaviour. He said that he was forgetting to turn off his gas range and oven after cooking. That he was increasingly forgetting to turn off the tap in his kitchen sink when filling it to wash dishes. Because of one distraction or another. The result – a flooded kitchen. He is not on his own. I suggested that he have a chat with his GP about the possible onset of a form of dementia as short term memory loss was a recognised indicator of the medical condition.

End all violence I researched quite a bit before responding to the points made by Alan Barron in last week’s Independent (Your Voice, 4/11/2022). I was curious to see where the quoted statistics had come from as they differed from what I was aware of. The ATO statistics for 2020 showed males contributing approximately 50.3 per cent of income tax, not 70 per cent. In 2020 the total number of men killed was 2.3 times that of women, not four times. I tried, but couldn’t find any public statistics that confirmed, or denied, the other claims. I absolutely agree with his view that we should be aiming to end all violence, but little else. I wondered at the implication that homelessness, drug addiction, alcoholism

(which is a drug addiction) and gambling were issues predominantly for males. The highest rise in homelessness is occurring in females over 45. Alcohol and other drug addictions and gambling are not male issues either. I also think maybe Alan missed that there was funding allocated specifically for males to address their violence. Nothing can be achieved in the reduction of any violence without including everyone in the conversations, learnings and solutions. Historically, males have benefited more than females in so many aspects of life. In medicine alone, females have been disadvantaged for centuries. Until the 1990s medical drug research routinely excluded females. Research, and therefore training, in heart attack management has focused on males to the point where females are said to have ‘atypical’ symptoms. They are in fact completely typical, but only if you are female, and they can be missed by health professionals. This is just two areas in just one aspect of life where I know that females have not been treated equally. In this country we have over 200 years of unequal treatment between males and females to counter and that is going to happen faster, the more is invested. I’m sorry that you feel your needs are ‘not worthy’ and ‘invisible’. Welcome to the club.

FRIDAY FEATURE GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

‘Future is bright’: Ince Brett Ince has finished up as head of Tourism Greater Geelong and the Bellarine. Justin Flynn spoke with him about his time in the job.

rett Ince’s family moved to Geelong when he was very young. He attended Belmont High and completed his bachelor’s degree and master’s at Deakin University so you could say Geelong is well and truly established in his DNA. “I had an amazing childhood with supportive parents and two older brothers that always encouraged me to follow my passions,” he says. “Over the years they’ve helped instil the personal values I live by which are humility, discipline, and respect.” At eight-years-old he studied karate, attaining up to a third degree black belt and as a teenager worked part-time as a karate instructor. “Going from high school straight to working full-time at Geelong Otway Tourism and studying my bachelor’s and master’s degrees full-time was a challenge,” he says. “Though that 10-year period put me in good stead to have a much better work-life balance in recent years.” Brett left Tourism Greater Geelong and the Bellarine after a three-and-a-half year stint as executive director and will look back fondly at his time there. He says the region emerged from the pandemic in remarkably good shape. “Our local tourism sector really banded together and gritted their teeth through an extremely challenging period and are just now starting to come out on the other side,” he says. “Collectively we’ve been able to get back to our $1.1 billion visitor economy, rank as the most-visited regional destination in Victoria and our recovery has fared incredibly well in the state and regional Victoria. “There’s not one singular thing that’s got us to where we are, but a collective effort from 12 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 11 November, 2022

the hard work of Tourism Greater Geelong and the Bellarine, local operators, and support from various levels of government.” Brett says Geelong’s liveability as a city and being the fastest growing region in Australia stands it in good stead for the future. “I’ve said it a few times but I truly believe our region’s future is bright,” he says. “We’re going through a period of transformational change and exceptional growth with a tourism investment pipeline of $1.9 billion and over 50 projects including the game-changing developments of the Spirit of Tasmania, Geelong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Geelong Arts Centre, Victoria 2026 Commonwealth Games and Kardinia Park Stadium and Precinct. “Our region also has a significant and growing events calendar and developments for our cultural and nature-based tourism, which will add to the diversity of our region’s offering.” Brett pauses when asked what his three favourite festivals in the region are. “That’s like choosing a favourite child,” he says. “Personally, I really enjoy heading out with friends to the A Day on the Green concerts at Mt Duneed Estate. I’ve attended many over the years and made some lifelong memories – seeing Florence and the Machine and Robbie Williams perform were highlights.” Brett’s favourite three places in the area is another question that makes him stop and think. “Central Geelong’s vibrant dining scene, the many incredible beaches along our coast, and, as a Belmont resident, it’s hard for Belmont’s ever-changing liveability not to be on my list.” Brett may have time to now be a tourist in his home region, so what would he suggest someone do if they were visiting for the first

time and only had a weekend? “I’d recommend a trip to our cultural precinct in central Geelong – a browse of Geelong Gallery, Geelong Arts Centre, Geelong Library and Platform Arts – and to see the reinvented spaces of our industrial past at the Federal Mills, Fyansford Paper Mills and Little Creatures,” he says. “A leisurely taster of our award-winning wineries along the Bellarine and Moorabool Valley and nature-based attractions of the You Yangs and many amazing beaches and relaxed coastal villages are also a must.” Brett’s role in helping promote the region has had its challenges. “Geelong and the Bellarine is a relatively young destination, especially in comparison to the likes of the Great Ocean Road and Mornington Peninsula,” he says. “Over the past decade it’s been great to see how far we’ve come in doubling visitation numbers and building a name for our region as a destination in its own right and not as a gateway.” Brett’s new job will be as regional director, Barwon South West, Regional Development Victoria. “I’m excited to take on this opportunity and important role for the Barwon South West region while being able to continue working with a region I know and love,” he says. “In the new role, I’ll be working with key leaders from the familiar turf of Geelong, the Bellarine and Great Ocean Road regions, right up to the South Australian border, all while learning more about the opportunities across the diverse range of sectors that support our communities to thrive.” Away from work Brett likes to keep busy by attending CrossFit classes, hanging out with friends at wineries and events in the region and spending time with his family.

The Guide THE LIVING ROOM 10, Friday, 7.30pm

NUDE NEXT DOOR ABC TV, Tuesday, 9.30pm

Have you ever wondered how the fun-loving presenters on this longrunning lifestyle show manage to whip up vibrant and inspirational segments week in and week out? The Living Room has been a reliably jovial Friday evening stalwart for the past 11 years, but the show is taking a year-long break so that Amanda Keller, Miguel Maestre, Barry Du Bois and Dr Chris Brown (pictured, right, with Maestre) can have a well-earned breather. While fans fret about whether they’ll temporarily defect to Better Homes and Gardens, lap up these final episodes. Tonight, Miguel helps throw a surprise 60th anniversary seafood lunch and Chris lands in Fiji.

Digital reporter Siobhan Marin (pictured) lifts the covers on the booming business of “democratised” porn in this timely, thought-provoking Compass special. In recent years, the rise of OnlyFans has seen women and amateur makers of erotica disrupt the male-dominated business of online porn. Today, everyday people can sell their own content for a subscription fee online, with OnlyFans amassing than 1.5 million creators. But is it an empowering movement or merely another form of women being taken advantage of? It’s a disheartening insight as Marin speaks with the young women using the platform, laying bare the risks and repercussions.

SILENT WITNESS ABC TV, Sunday, 9.20pm

It was only a matter of time. After years of fruitless flirting, are the writers behind one of the longestrunning forensic crime dramas in Britain finally giving into the romantic pressure? In tonight’s season 24 finale, Nikki (Emilia Fox, pictured) and her sidekick Jack (David Caves) share a moment that will have fans either all flustered or covering their eyes. It’s a bold move for a series’ two main characters to cross the flirting boundary: once done there’s no going back. Despite Nikki declaring that their romance would be “totally unethical,” temperatures rise, with the background emergency situation edge-of-your-seat stuff. Season 25 can’t come quickly enough.

Reality check: Brihony Dawson hosts new series The Challenge Australia.

PICK OF THE WEEK THE CHALLENGE AUSTRALIA 10, Monday, 7.30pm

There’s something oddly gratifying about witnessing this lineup of former reality TV contestants get pushed to their absolute limits in this new series, premiering tonight. Hosted by Brihony Dawson, who takes the mantle as Australia’s first non-binary TV presenter, the players are thrown together as couples at the whim of an algorithm to compete in back-breaking challenges. Featuring Brittany Hockley (The Bachelor) Cyrell Paule (MAFS), Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm (I’m A Celebrity) and Ciarran Stott (The Bachelorette), among others, there’s a $100,000 prize for each male and female winner. Meltdowns and hookups promise to be the name of this game.

Goanna back where it all began By Matt Hewson Iconic Australian band Goanna bring home their extensive national tour to Geelong with a special one-night-only performance at Costa Hall on Friday, November 18. Goanna leader and frontman Shane Howard said having started the tour in February at Mount Duneed, the show is a fitting end to the tour and one that also marks 40 years since the band originally formed in Geelong. “We were a Geelong band, it’s where we cut our teeth and it’s where the songs emerged from, really,” Howard said. “Geelong is very much the band’s heartland; it was a great live music scene, there was a band in every hotel. “We’ve always seen ourselves as a regional band, and Geelong’s had a lasting impact on the sort of music that we played and the sort of songs that we wrote.” Howard recalled how one night at the Eureka Hotel in 1981 the band was spontaneously joined for the first time by Billy Inda, who played didgeridoo on Aussie anthem Solid Rock. “We were setting up, playing Solid Rock, and two Aboriginal guys were drinking in the bar,” he recalled. “They came over and said they loved the song, and asked what sound Rosie [Bygrave] was using on the keyboard. And she said, we’re trying to emulate a didgeridoo. “He said, ‘Well I play didj, I’ve got one at home, do you want me to go and get it?’ So that evening, Billy came up to the bandroom before the gig and we ran through it for the first time.” Goanna have also delved into the archives to present Looking Across the Bay, a nostalgic exhibition of posters, memorabilia and

artifacts, which will be on show at Deakin’s Project Space to coincide with the performance. “We’ve got lots of paraphernalia, going right back to the first poster we had back in 1978,” Howard said.

“You also accumulate stuff people give you on the road. There’s a beautiful kangaroo skin painted with Uluru and a goanna in Aboriginal painting design that was given to us in Townsville.

Piano progamme of ‘distance and longing’ Team of Pianists’ recitals return to Winchelsea’s Barwon Park on November 27 with Sehnsucht: Travellers, Distance and Longing, featuring pianist Robert Chamberlain, vocalist Judith Dodsworth and clarinettist Robert Schubert. The performance will include a diverse repertoire, presenting classic works from Mozart, Schubert, Schumann and Vaughan Williams alongside pieces from Australian composers Margaret Sutherland, Lawrence Whiffen and Julian Yu. Chamberlain said while the programme drew on a wide range of contrasting music, the works were united by the theme of sehnsucht, a German word conveying a bittersweet sense of longing – a theme the pianist said was appropriate given the lengthy pandemic period. “Sehnsucht is about yearning for the unobtainable, it’s a very romantic 19th century German thing,” he said. “We thought that this concept of distance and longing was relevant after the pandemic, where we were yearning to play live instead of just playing in front of cameras in our houses. “Now that we’re back playing together again at Barwon Park it fulfils that yearning to play to a live audience again.” The trio has only performed together once back in 2019 when all three were part of the music faculty at Monash University, after which their plans to continue their musical collaboration were disrupted, as many plans were, by COVID-19. “There was a chamber music festival at Monash, and Judith was head of vocal, I was piano coordinator and Robert was teaching clarinet,” Chamberlain said. “People were casting around to see who would play what, and with whom. So we got

together, actually we played a couple of the things we’re playing at Barwon Park, and it was really fun, there were really good vibes there and it really clicked. “But then, of course, the pandemic happened. Team of Pianists had a whole series planned for 2020, including a concert at Barwon Park, which didn’t happen. We’ve tried to be there every year in the 15 or so years our recitals have been going on because it’s such a unique venue.” Chamberlain said audiences could expect a fun and contrasting presentation. “It’ll be a very expressive and communicative programme with lots of emotional and stylistic contrast,” he said. “I think the audience will see us having an awful lot of fun. And I suspect we’ll be using the space and being in that really unique venue in an imaginative way.”

“It’s lovely to be able to show them off and display them in this way.” Goanna will be joined by Luke Biscan and Mick Ryan. Looking Across the Bay will be open at Project Space from November 14-20.

Christmas caberet cheer If you are a fan of 1960s music and Christmas carols then you will be treated to a show and a half by Melissa Langton and Mark Jones. The married cabaret couple are bringing their show to the Potato Shed having played at the venue once before last year. Melissa and Mark have won numerous awards including the prestigious Green Room Award for Best Cabaret Artist and Best Cabaret. They have performed to great acclaim throughout Europe and the home of cabaret, New York. “Mark and I love doing harmonies and the 60s songs tend to lend themselves to our audience,” Melissa says. “It’s always fun. Mark and I have really fun banter on stage. “We chat to the audience a lot, they don’t just sit and observe, they get to take part in it.” Melissa says their first visit to the Potato Shed was a positive experience. “We had the best fun ever – the audience

were so into it,” she says. “I think they were just keen to get out and get back to the theatre. “They all said ‘come back’ and I’m hoping the people who came will bring back all their friends. It’s a really nice little venue.” Audience members are asked to brush up on their 1960s music knowledge. Mark will conduct a quiz that can earn concertgoers some decent prizes. But mostly the songs of the 1960s and Christmas carols will fill most of the agenda. “It’s just a chance to sing some Christmas songs because who doesn’t love singing Christmas songs?” Melissa says. “You can’t have Christmas without having a sing along. I love singalongs and they always go down really well.” The show is on Tuesday, November 29 at 10.30am at the Potato Shed, Drysdale. All tickets ($17) include morning tea.

Warning about flesh-eating ulcer By Justin Flynn Several Geelong suburbs have been put on notice as cases of a flesh-eating ulcer spreads across the city. Deputy chief health fficer (communicable disease), Associate Professor Deborah Friedman, issued a warning on Wednesday for the Buruli ulcer and identified Belmont, Highton, Newtown, Wandana Heights, Grovedale and Marshall as suburbs most at risk as well as the Bellarine Peninsula, Aireys Inlet and the Surf Coast. Also known as the Bairnsdale ulcer, at least

266 cases have been reported across Victoria this year. The Buruli ulcer is a skin disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium ulcerans. The state’s health department said transmission of the flesh eating ulcer was expected to increase this summer in coastal Victoria and metropolitan Melbourne. Barwon South West Public Health Unit deputy director, Associate Professor Daniel O’Brien, said the team and researchers from CSIRO Geelong are currently undertaking analysis of new cases and their locations to better inform the community and local GPs

on where and how the ulcer is being acquired. It is hoped that a better understanding of the ulcer can help minimise the risk of catching the disease, help prevent its spread and help ensure early diagnosis and prompt treatment of those infected. “Our team here at the Barwon South West Public Health Unit of clinicians and epidemiologists, are working with patients, GPs, researchers at CSIRO Geelong and the Department of Health to identify cases as early as possible to help ensure early diagnosis and prompt treatment and also develop our understanding of possible causes of the ulcer

and its spread,” he said. “Although the exact mechanism of infection in humans is still under investigation, we do know that some precautions can possibly reduce the risk of infection.” Research has shown that areas where humans are most frequently contracting Buruli ulcer are areas where soil, mosquitoes and possums are most frequently carrying the causative bacteria. Infections are also more likely acquired in the warmer months, but can be acquired at any time of the year.

ENVIRONMENT

Waterways get a good drenching The spring rains have continued to relentlessly fall, and the great thing about this is that the waterways will most likely not dry out over summer, which is great news for waterfowl. For the sake of communities in northern Victoria, I hope that the mighty Murray River does not flood any more than it has already. Meanwhile there’s been some lovely birdwatching opportunities on the Bellarine Peninsula. In the ponds behind Woolworths on Shell Road there is a family of purple swamphens, where one of the adult birds has a broken wing and can not fly. There are at least four hatchlings that seem to be thriving in the small pond. Across the road in the Tareeda Way ponds there are two dusky moorhen hatchlings that also seem to be flourishing. The little egrets that have nested in a colony at Queenscliff over the past few years are back in the nesting tree, so I imagine they will be preparing for the breeding season. I’ve also been watching a family of Australian magpies in the street near my house. Fortunately, the parent birds and two fledglings live in a quiet street where there is a scarcity of car traffic. The parent birds have been very diligent in teaching the fledglings to feed and fly and look for danger. Many fledgling magpies do not live long especially if they live on a busy road. The family of tawny frogmouths that I watch in Ocean Grove also have two hatchlings in their nest that are growing rapidly and I have my fingers crossed that all goes well for them.

I received a lovely email from Phil and Sandy from Ocean Grove, who noticed a pair of spotted pardalotes in their carport. Phil has a workbench in the carport and the pardalotes are nesting under the workbench. They must negotiate a small gap in the draws under the bench to get to the nest. I paid a visit to Phil and Sandy’s house and watched the parent birds flying in and out of the carport carrying food to the nest. They seemed to know that Phil and Sandy were not a threat and seemed not to worry about their presence in the carport. I received an email from Carole, who told me some good news in that she spotted nine ruddy turnstones on the beach near St Leonards pier. They were so well camouflaged that in Carole’s photo it was difficult to differentiate between birds, seaweed and rocks. Ruddy turnstones are migratory shorebirds that have arrived from the Northern Hemisphere so it is so important that dogs are kept on leads on the beaches to protect these birds. I received an email from Kevin, who with the help of a local named Donna, had a lovely time photographing and locating blue-billed ducks and other waterfowl and Lake Lorne in Drysdale. Kevin also observed chestnut teal, Pacific black ducks, eurasian coots, hoary-headed grebes, black swans and dusky moorhens, many looking after hatchlings. Kevin also photographed a brown falcon at close quarters on Winchelsea-Shelford Road and commented that it wasn’t often that people are able so come so close to a raptor in the wild. Many of the hooded plover nests on the beaches around the Bellarine were washed away by high tides on the Melbourne Cup weekend, which was such a crying shame. These birds have such a difficult time nesting and rearing their young. I wish them better success with their next nesting attempts.

MOTOR

Corolla Cross is set for success By Alistair Kennedy, Marque Motoring How this as a recipe for cooking up a successful motor vehicle? Start with the base of Australia’s top-selling brand for the past 25 years, add a badge that’s been around since 1967 and accumulated more than 1.5-million sales here. Then bulk it up to get into the booming compact SUV market, and top it off with the latest in fuel-saving hybrid technology. What you get is the brand-new Toyota Corolla Cross, a compact SUV that is likely to scare the pants of every other competitor in its highly-ompetitive market segment. After a long period when Toyota’s smallest SUV, the RAV4, grew into a mid-sized model leaving the compact field open to numerous competitors from other brands, it now has three vehicles in contention, Yaris Cross, C-HR and now the Corolla Cross. There are three Corolla Cross three variants, GX, GXL and a new name, Atmos. As is the norm with Toyota each comes with a hybrid option which adds between $2500 and $3000 to the price while GXL and Atmos are also available with all-wheel drive. Prices, prior to on-road costs, range from $33,000 for the entry level 2WD GX petrol through to $49,050 for our test vehicle, the Atmos AWD hybrid.

Styling Although it sits on the same platform as the Corolla hatch, the Cross has a totally different body as befitting an SUV. The styling is quite conservative but that’s unlikely to deter the typical Toyota buyer who prefers function over fashion. While it shares much with the Corolla its outer appearance is more mini-RAV4

doors and lights, access information such as the vehicle’s last known location and recent trips, or start the engine or climate control.

than maxi-Corolla with a snub-nosed grille featuring the Toyota logo, with blue highlights in the centre. GXL and Atmos add front foglights, enhanced LED headlights and roof rails.

Safety In addition to the usual mandatory safety features all Corolla Cross variants come with eight airbags, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert; and ISOFIX child seat anchors. Also standard in all models is the latest Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 package which adds a pre-collision safety system with pedestrian and cyclist detection, active cruise control, lane trace and departure alert with steering assist, lane change assist with deceleration assist, road sign assist, door exit warning and automatic high beam. In addition, GSX gets parking support brake with vehicle and object detection and a panoramic view monitor. Atmos adds pedestrian detection to the parking support

brake feature as well as advanced park assist.

Infotainment Corolla Cross is the first Toyota in Australia to get the brand’s new multimedia system. The entry-level GX uses an 8.0-inch touchscreen, GXL and Atmos get a 10.5-inch screen. The resolution is sharp and fast to respond with the option of using voice activation. Satellite navigation is standard in the GXL and Atmos. There’s wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto along with a single Type-C USB port in the front console of the GX and two in the centre console of the GXL and Atmos. Behind the steering wheel there’s a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster in the GX and GXL,with a much larger (12.3 inch) one in the Atmos. Corolla Cross also gets the latest version of the Toyota Connected Services communications system that uses the myToyota Connect smartphone app to allow owners to do such things as remotely check the status of the

The taller body of the Corolla Cross assist with access while the higher driving position, large windscreen, side windows and mirrors together with a relatively narrow A-pillar combine to provide excellent visibility to the front and side, only let down a bit by a fairly skinny rear window. There’s a reassuringly solid feel to the Cross and it’s easy to drive and park around the urban environment which is most likely to be its home with steering which is relatively light but direct and intuitive. Apart from the battery-only start and silent running the Atmos hybrid that we tested had that sharp acceleration that we enjoy in all vehicles with an electric component. Suspension is well-balanced although we did get knocked around when maneuvering through a badly-cratered section of our drive courtesy of some recent flooding. Toyota is playing a waiting game in adopting pure electric and plug-in hybrid technology relying – very successfully – on the hybrid variants that feature across the range with sub- 5.0 L/100 km fuel consumption relatively easily achieved.

Summing up Everything about the new Corolla Cross points to it being a major success for Toyota. The Corolla name brings decades of credibility while the SUV body adds the family-friendly practicality that is so popular at this time. Add it’s neat styling, comparatively spacious interior, capable performance and excellent fuel economy and we expect it to overtake its compact SUV rivals within the next 12 months.

Finals time for juniors LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers It was the final round of the home and away season for most of Tennis Geelong’s Associations Junior League last weekend. This is the first year that players from Geelong have played under the Tennis Geelong banner in the age based event that runs for nine weeks on Sunday mornings from August to November. The most exciting match of the day was in Boys 14A, where Aces drew with Bayside Moorabbin Blue. The first singles was a marathon with George Wills coming back from 1-5 in the first set to take it 7-5, before dropping the second 6-3. The match tiebreak was close, but with a couple of unlucky points Wills succumbed 13-11. Tano-Li Quach and Isaac Brian fought hard in their singles but went down 6-2,6-3 and 7-5, 6-4, while Malachi Hedt took the teams only singles rubber 6-4, 6-0. The team rallied in the doubles and levelled the match with Wills and Quach winning the first doubles 8-5, while Hedt and Brian sealed the draw winning 8-6. Boys 16C also had a close one, at three rubbers all, but ahead six sets to four and five

games. Gus Maibaum and Ben Weber set the team up winning the first two singles 6-2, 6-0 and 6-0, 6-2 and Daniel Mills narrowly missing out 7-5, 4-6, 5-10. Maibaum and Weber teamed up to take the first doubles 8-4 guaranteeing the win. The girls have not had the best season with 16B struggling to field a team each week, and 12B being competitive, but without a win. Girls 14B finished third in their group, going down to second placed Bayside Moorabbin four rubbers to two. Chloe Bowyer won a tight match in her singles to register the team’s first win 6-2, 3-6, 10-6, then followed up with Hanna Schoenmaekers to take the second doubles 8-4. Boys 12D played what could be a grand final preview when they travelled to Mornington to take on Peninsula. It was an ultra close match with Xavier Willoughby going down in a match tie break, Zane Ryan going down 5-7, 6-7 while Aki Bhat and Brian Gong got over the line 6-3, 6-4 and 7-5, 6-4. Unfortunately Peninsula proved too strong in the doubles, winning 8-5 and 8-2, giving it a 4-2 win. If the team can secure a good win this week over bottom of the ladder Eastern Region B, it will be able to draw on its knowledge

from this week. Boys 14C will be licking their wounds after going down one rubber to five against ladder leaders Western Region. With this week’s match against third place Peninsula, the team will be looking to regroup and do well to maintain second place and give it a chance at a rematch against Western Region. Mixed 10A enjoyed some good tennis against North Eastern JTA this week with a 5-1 win. The win leaves the team in second with a good chance in next week’s grand final against Bayside-Moorabbin. The teams have played twice with a win to each team, so Lachlan Rae, Lane Studer, Flynn Stewart, Evren Atasever and Samuel Weber will need to be on their game to topple the ladder leaders. Boys 16B have had the best season of all the teams, sitting top of their grade with a clear advantage over Waverley and will stay there regardless of this week’s result. Next week will see the team face Waverley, which will need to play well to maintain its spot as Eastern Region is only one point behind. The team has been very consistent and is undefeated, along with Lachie Treharne who has won all seven of his singles matches.

Highton sends out warning to rivals Highton gave Bareena a hiding to move into second spot on the Geelong Bowls Region Saturday Pennant ladder. Dan Priddle, Dominic Carlesso, Robin Chambers and Craig Elliott had a mammoth 33 to five win with Highton winning the match 74 to 36. Highton is only two points adrift of top side Ocean Grove and faces a tough match this weekend against third-placed Queenscliff. Bareena managed to salvage two points from the match and sits at two wins and four losses in eighth place and meets seventh placed City of Geelong this weekend in what is shaping up as an important fixture for both teams. Ocean Grove 1 flexed its muscles with a powerhouse performance against Eastern Park, which dropped from second to fourth on the ladder. Matt Flapper and Peter Loe skipped their rinks to strong wins and ensured Ocean Grove 1 stayed on top of the table. Glenn Slattery pulled back two points for Eastern Park, but the Grovers are the early season premiership favourites. Queenscliff continues to fly under the radar. A 66 to 49 win against Ocean Grove 2 sees it in third spot while Ocean Grove 2 is sixth, 12 points behind Drysdale. Queenscliff won all three rinks with Ray Butler leading a 24 to 15 victory. Bell Post Hill caused an upset and broke through for its first win of the season. A brilliant 71 to 54 win against Drysdale was set up by Ben Toner, Brian Bottrell, Alan Lewis and Darryl Washington who won by 14 shots. All Drysdale could salvage from the match was a solitary point with John Fry drawing with Craig McCarron on 24 shots apiece. City of Geelong won its second game at the expense of the still winless Lara. Bradley Prior’s rink won by seven, Nicholas Craven won by nine and Zane Lugg just got over Michael James Kelly by one.

Snapper comp winner weighs in at 9.7kg ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos The snapper bite is seriously heating up at the moment with lots of reports coming through from most parts of the bay fishing very well. The Portside Marine 2022 Snapper Competition was held over the weekend and some fantastic fish submitted. The biggest came in at 9.7kg which cracks that milestone 20lb mark. Plenty more quality fish were caught during the competition from all different parts of the bay. The spoil grounds, the edge of the channel, the bend, the old steam boat channel, Wilson spit and Alcoa pier are all fishing very well for snapper as of late. Land based fishos have been doing quite well along the many structures along the Bellarine Peninsula with Portarlington rocks and St Leonards pier both producing the goods. Adam Van der Lugt from Trelly’s Geelong has had some great success landing snapper to 4kg land based with silver whiting proving to be his number one bait. If you’re up for a bit of a drive towards the other side of the bay (Mornington, Seaford, Chelsea) there is some fantastic fishing on offer with anglers landing some great fish. Peri Stavropoulos from Trelly’s Geelong fished off Carrum over the weekend, landing multiple snapper to 5kg with fresh squid and silver whiting proving irresistible. Lots of guys are actually throwing soft plastics around and picking up lots if fish doing so, 4” worm profile plastics by Gulp are hands down the best to throw. Calamari remain a popular target species for anglers fishing along the entire Bellarine Peninsula continuing to produce reports. Clifton Springs to Portarlington have been very consistent with anglers finding bag limit captures on the regular. King George whiting still remain a hot target in similar areas to the squid. Snapper and gummy sharks are still chewing well off Barwon Heads with the 40 metre line holding both species. Anglers dropping snapper snatchers down with fresh squid and salmon for bait are picking up some great fish. The water to the east of the bluff is very dirty (near brown) but to the west it’s quite clean and the fish are chewing. Reports of barrel tuna are still coming through, although the bite has slowed down quite a bit there are still a few guys heading out mentioning that there is still plenty of life and even picking up a few fish.

out for the two spots in the national final. After looking strong all day Torquay came out on top to take home the $2000 in prize money and a guaranteed spot into the ABB National Final, scheduled to take place in 2023. Torquay was steady all the way through the final with both Phillip Island Pro QS finalists,

Xavier Huxtable and Tully Wylie, scoring around six points on their first waves giving the team a solid structure to continue on with as they battled towards the win. “I love that the ABB provides a team aspect to surfing,” Wylie said. “It’s such an individual sport so to share a win with your best mates is super cool.” Finishing in second place and claiming the second spot in the National Final was Phillip Island on 24.73 points, ahead of the third-place team Peninsula on 18.10 points while 13th Beach finished in fourth place with 18.07 points. The National Final is scheduled to take place on February 4 and 5.

Life Saving Victoria’s (LSV’s) surf boat rowing crews began the new season with 10 local crews rowing at the opening Victorian Surf Rowers League (VSRL) carnival at Apollo Bay. Local crews clean swept the under-23 women’s division, with the Fairhaven Ferals taking the win ahead of Jan Juc Jucaroos in second and the Lorne Seals in third and the Lorne Stars claimed the reserve women’s event. LSV acting manager aquatic sport David Potter commended the competitors for their efforts in the surf. “It was fantastic to be back in the Otways for the opening carnival of the VSRL rowing season,” he said. “Not only is surf boat rowing an incredible show of fitness and surf awareness, but it is also a fantastic way for lifesavers to stay engaged with the movement during the winter season, keeping them rescue ready come summer. “Our Victorian crews are among the best in the country, with teams from Lorne and Jan Juc bringing home Australian medals at last season’s national championships.” The next competition on the VSRL calendar is a short course carnival at Port Campbell Surf Life Saving Club on Saturday 19 November.

Groms to hit Torquay beach Groms of all ages are set to descend on Torquay this weekendfor the Woolworths Surfer Groms Comp. The comp is designed to deliver a fun and friendly introduction to surf competition for micro groms. The event will include a broad range of divisions, catering to boys and girls under-8s, under-10s, under-12s and under-14s. This in turn sets up groms from across Victoria to get involved in competition within this nationwide series which visits all surfing states in Australia.

With previous Woolworths Surfer Grom Comp winners including local stars and former Australian champions Xavier Huxtable from Jan Juc and Ellie Harrison from Barwon Heads, the event has proven to be a critical part of the junior development pathway in Victoria.

“The Woolworths Surfer Grom Comps have always provided a great platform for the next generation of competitive surfers in Victoria,” Surfing Victoria chief executive Adam Robertson said. “It’s always a great start leading into the

summer months with the groms being able to have a fun day surfing with their friends.” The event is scheduled to begin at 7.30 am on Saturday, November 12 at Torquay Surf Beach. Live scores and schedule can be accessed via surfingvic.com/live

Cats bow out in elimination final North Melbourne has withstood a barrage of Geelong inside 50s to win its AFLW elimination final by two points. A week after the Cats kicked the second-highest score in league history, they were kept to their second-lowest score of the season as the Kangaroos grimly held on 2.4 (16) to 1.8 (14) on Saturday night at GMHBA Stadium. Having ended Geelong’s season, North will now play Richmond next week in a semi-final. “We were actually really lucky to hold onto that – Geelong were outstanding,” heroic North captain Emma Kearney told the Seven Network. Kearney returned from injury and with her right knee strapped heavily, she marshalled the North defence off half-back. Trailling by four points at quarter-time, the Cats took control and had 40 inside 50s to 18 for the match. But the Kangaroos laid 82 tackles – defender Amy Smith had a whopping 17 – to Geelong’s 57 as their defence refused to yield.

No goals were kicked from the last minute of the first quarter, despite ideal conditions. With less than two minutes left, Geelong’s Shelley Scott marked in a pocket and was well within range, but she scored a behind. Another shot from Scott a few seconds later was rushed through for a behind. Kearney then earned a crucial 50m penalty after the kickout to clear the ball to the wing and secure a hard-fought win. A week after Richmond’s Meg Macdonald sat on her in a masterful lockdown role, North ball magnet Jasmine Garner returned to form with 23 possessions and eight tackles. Kearney made an early impact, her clearing kick out of defence in the first quarter finding Garner. North drove into attack and after Emma King fumbled the ball, she volleyed a kick to Sophia Abbatengelo, who kicked the first goal of the game. After Darcy Moloney marked and goalled for Geelong’s first, Garner was given too much latitude in attack and she found Alice

O’Loughlin. Her snap with less than a minute left in the opening term gave Nort h a crucial four-point lead. Only two behinds apiece were scored for the next two quarters as Geelong relentlessly attacked. Time and again, North would clear out of defence and Geelong would then gain possession across half-forward for another fruitless charge into attack. At three-quarter time, Geelong led the inside 50 count by a whopping 36 to 11. Despite heavy attention from North, Cats star Amy McDonald impressed with 23 disposals a team-high four clearances. But fellow midfielder Georgie Prespakis was down on her usual prolific output, only having 14 possessions. Smith, Nicole Bresnehan, Jas Ferguson, Sarah Wright and Mia King starred in defence for the Kangaroos alongside Kearney. – AAP

Maximum points after ruthless win

Mick Thornton.

Ocean Grove enjoy seven wicket win Ocean Grove enjoyed a comfortable seven wicket win against Inverleigh in A1 Grade on Saturday. Chasing 143 for victory, Ocean Grove was off to a bright start with openers Shaun Fankhouser and Jake Taylor putting on 73. Taylor fell for a patient 15 from 96 deliveries and Fankhauser departed two runs later for a well-made 47 from 105. Debutant Noah Brooks looked solid, but fell for four and at 3-91, Grove needed a partnership. Paul Jubber and Mick Thornton then carried the side to victory with an unbroken 58-run stand. Jubber was 24 not out from 77 and Thornton was 38 from 54 when Ocean Grove passed Inverleigh’s score. The Grubbers are in fourth spot on the ladder with Inverleigh yet to taste victory in seventh.

Jan Juc took maximum points from St Leonards. Resuming at 1-37, St Leonards fell for a disappointing 81 with Jordy Graham snaring three wickets. The Sharks needed 81 for all 10 points and got there with the loss of five wickets with Iva Priest getting 28 and Nick Hyden 20 not out. James Burns took 3-18 for the Saints, but they are rooted to the bottom of the table, while Jan Juc is on top. Anglesea defeated Barrabool by 38. Needing 209 for the win, Barrabool fell for 170 with several batters getting good starts, but failing to get past 35. Kane Pickering top scored with 35 from 111 for the Bulls while for Anglesea, it was slow bowlers Brett Venables and Joe Lynch who did the hard yards. Venables took 3-61 from 27 over and

leg-spinner Lynch took 3-58 from 26 and paceman Dylan Taylor grabbed 3-23 from eight. Armstrong Creek and Queenscliff played out a dramatic draw. Armstrong Creek declared at 5-229 with Clay Mulgrew the star. Mulgrew made a punushing 111 from 171 balls and fellow opener Chris Marsiglio hot 64 from 67 in a partnership of 107. Mitch Potter managed 3-72 from 17 overs of leg-spin for Queenscliff. Queenscliff had 57 overs to negotiate and ended the afternoon at 9-99 with Frank Mileto getting 53. The Titans were one wicket away from victory, but the rain affected day one and the result. Jason Robertson couldn’t have done much more for Armstrong Creek with 4-35.

Barwon Heads completed a brutal demolition job on Newcomb in A2 Grade on Saturday. The Seagulls claimed all 10 points on offer in the most ruthless of ways. Resuming at 0-75 chasing 129, Ben Harris and Matthew Bode continued on their merry way. Bode brought up his second century of the season with 108 not out and Harris was unbeaten on 105 when Barwon Heads declared at 0-220, a lead of 91. Newcomb needed to survive to prevent the outright loss, but it was bundled out for just 15 in embarrassing fashion. James Ponsford joined the party with the amazing figures of 6-5 and Matt Oakley claimed 3-9 with Newcomb lasting only 12 overs. The outright win put Barwon Heads on top of the ladder with a mammoth percentage of 33.27 while Newcomb is anchored to the bottom. Drysdale gambled by declaring overnight at 8-184, but came away with the points against a plucky Collendina. Shannon Griffin (33 off 63) and Richie Peters (26 off 28) played well for the Cobras, but Drysdale took wickets when they mattered thanks to Blake Dobbin and Ben Spencer, who snared three each. Winchelsea had no trouble chasing down Portarlington’s modest 117. Winch reached the target with the loss of only two wickets. Adam Korth was the best of the batters with 46 not out from 61 deliveries. Wallington had the bye.
