The judges thought that the Sea All Dolphin Swims business ticked all the boxes required for a business displaying business excellence.
The marketing is clearly thought out and implemented at the highest level, with customer service matching this. Its idea of “choosing to do more than just be in business” stacks up with all its activities.
They said the business has shown exponential growth in the past three years, in both numbers of sales and in services and products available through swims, tours, school programs, surf lessons, bay waves and education. Its use of current technology such as virtual reality, apps, artificial intelligence, TV programs and aerial, as well as submersible drones, really takes this business into the next level for tourism
The judges also thought that its culture was first-class and had great financial management practices with different sources of income and had covered all risks within the business.

Waste not, want not Businesses looking to improve their triple bottom line by reducing waste have government-funded resources available to assist them. Barwon South West Waste and Resource Recovery Group (BSWWRRG) works with businesses, community and councils across the Barwon South West region to find ways to reduce and recycle waste and plan for future waste and recycling needs. BSWWRRG can help businesses of all sizes and in all aspects of waste reduction. RETHINK YOUR FOOTPRINT Rethink Your Footprint is a free waste selfassessment tool to help businesses understand waste and recycling activities in the workplace. It involves a workplace completing a selfassessment survey. Once the survey is completed, a BSWWRRG staff member will provide free advice on implementing strategies and practices to reduce waste in the business.

Green credentials lauded Gary Iacono, managing director of Lyons Construction, says the company was thrilled to be awarded this year a 6-Star Green Star rating for Design and As Built for its work building the City of Greater Geelong’s Highton Child and Family Centre. “The 6-star rating granted by the Green Building Council of Australia denotes world leadership in sustainability practises in the design and construction phases and is the first City of Greater Geelong council building to be awarded this rating,” Gary explains. Designed by Brand Architects, the building boasts the innovative use of reclaimed, recycled, and sustainably sourced materials. It features carpet tiles made from reclaimed fishing nets, a wood-type product constructed from reclaimed pine dust and recycled plastic bottles, and linoleum made from linseed oil. Gary says that every material used in the construction was meticulously considered. “Where the use of recycled materials wasn’t feasible, the focus was placed on ethical and sustainable sourcing of materials, including the steel used in the building’s structure and the use of recycled water and aggregates to create the Officially opened in 2019, the building in the concrete slabs. grounds of Bellaire Primary School engaged more “Sustainable features include solar panels, than 85 per cent of local contractors/suppliers. stormwater re-use in the toilets and gardens, and Currently, the company awaits confirmation water-efficient fittings. of Greenstar certification for two other council “Even the landscaping promotes sustainability – buildings: Leopold Community Hub, and Bella the use of Boston ivy ensures that during the Wiyn Birralee Family Centre in Drysdale. warmer months when the plant is at its leafiest it protects the walls from absorbing excess heat, The Leopold Community Hub features all of the tried-and-true methods of crafting a sustainable minimising dependency on air-conditioning.”

A part of Geelong’s history and future The Geelong Refinery has a long history of being a key part of the local manufacturing industry. Since Viva Energy took over the refinery in 2014, the business has invested more than $600 million modernising and improving this critical piece of infrastructure. Today, the refinery employs 700 people and supplies about 50 per cent of Victoria’s liquid fuel needs, playing a key role in preserving Australia’s fuel security and investing more than $200 million a year on wages and services that flow into the Geelong economy. Executive general manager Dale Cooper notes 2020 has been a challenging year for refineries around the world and the Geelong Refinery has not been immune to the impact of the global pandemic which has shut down international and domestic air travel and significantly reduced fuel consumption. But he says Viva Energy is looking ahead with a positive plan for the future of its business in Geelong. “This year Viva Energy announced its vision for the development of an Energy Hub on the site of the refinery, demonstrating our continued focus on transformation and the future of energy requirements for South East Australia,” Mr Cooper says.

When getting stuck is the best Stuck on You, last year’s winner of the coveted Business of the Year category of Geelong Business Excellence Awards has nothing but praise for the initiative, noting that the awards provide a brilliant chance for businesses to showcase what they do and how well they do it. The chief executive of the company, Carrie Felton, particularly valued the award because “it confirmed for every member of her crew just how great they are”. “My creative and passionate team of more than 40 brings designs and products to life, and I wanted to enter the awards as a way to show them how much I appreciate them and all they do,” Carrie says. A wholly family-owned business with headquarters in Breakwater, Stuck on You manufactures innovative products, and name labels for all types of items, from clothing and shoes and gifts to lunch boxes and school bags. Launched in Geelong 20 years ago, Stuck on You has customers in nearly 130 countries, with the UK and US two of its biggest overseas markets. The labels feature stylish fonts and icons/ imagery, each of the 50-plus available lovingly designed by in-house graphic designers. They are fun and quirky, with the brand now trusted and embraced by hundreds of thousands of families. Working on the premise that every child is unique, Stuck on You provides a beautiful personalised product range to help kids and families stay organised, have fun and be sustainable. As Carrie puts it, “It’s all about saving time and money for things that really matter. It doesn’t get more personal than that.”

A company made of turf stuff Less than a decade after Luke Trezise launched Turfcare and Hire in 2000, the company received the first of its three Geelong Business Excellence Awards. This trifecta was followed by Turfcare earning induction into the GBEA Hall of Fame in 2013. Luke named the awards experiences as “among our proudest moments”, and believes the achievement underscored the company’s status as a leader in the turf industry. “This year, we celebrate 20 years in business,” says Luke, “and in that time we’ve developed a strong rapport with clients and suppliers alike. These relationships are also reflected in the award wins.” Luke says that from humble beginnings, with just one other operator working alongside, and a simple truck and tractor, he had a vision that belied its size. Turfcare’s goal then was to provide sportsground maintenance service to the Geelong region, but with word-of-mouth it soon became a two-man crew and became the first to specialise in contact spraying and commercial turf management. Constant innovation and the embrace of technology saw the business go from strength to strength, becoming the only turf maintenance and construction company in Geelong with the ability and knowledge to operate on such a scale.

Joining in 2003, Leigh McCorkell brought along an exciting fresh approach, enabling Turfcare to expand into oval renovations and be the first to commercially line plant sportsgrounds, converting rye ovals to warm-season couch.

“We are proud of how much our business has grown but Turfcare as a whole will not forget
where we came from,” Luke says. “Nowadays, our ability to retain clients and build those relationships is second to none – achieved by being results driven, always trying to deliver the best results with minimal fuss. This goes hand in hand with our retention of good team members who share the same principles.
Today, Turfcare is a multi-million dollar business, with a 30-strong team, and a fleet of 35 wellmaintained, state-of-the-art vehicles.

Geelong has become the first AFL club to team up with the Healthy Schools Achievement Program, Cancer Council Victoria has announced. Cats AFLW 2020 best and fairest and All-Australian midfielder Olivia Purcell visited participating school Our Lady Star of the Sea on Wednesday to celebrate the partnership. The partnership will enable schools to achieve many of the program’s milestones by participating in the Cats’ community outreach initiatives. Cats community development general manager Sarah Albon said the club was always trying to make a positive difference with young people. “This unique partnership will see schools within our region embed our programs and practices and inspire kids to embrace healthy habits.” The Healthy Schools Achievement Program operates in 65 schools in greater Geelong, in a bid to help more than 30,800 students build healthy habits. The program encourages schools to achieve milestones in areas including physical activity, healthy eating, mental health and wellbeing and safe environments. Luke Voogt

A pavement less travelled
(Rebecca Hosking) 218028_01
Eloise Wingrave’s love of art grew during her recovery from lifesaving surgery for a brain infection five years ago. Now the Belmont teen is using her passion to help others travel their imaginations to sights across the world. The 16-year-old’s chalk scenes of Paris and England, from old photos, are helping passers-by escape – for a moment. “We can look at photos and go back to those places,” she said. Art was an important part of Eloise’s recovery after Royal Children’s Hospital surgeons cleaned out a streptococcal infection that had spread to her brain at age 11. She started creating chalk scenes in the pavement when the first COVID-19 lockdown prevented her from enjoying her other passions of dancing and acting. “I’ve continued doing it because I love getting the feedback from the community and people on the street,” she said. “They’re always telling me how much they like it, so it’s nice to brighten up their day in these challenging times.” Luke Voogt
Manhunt over stabbing By Luke Voogt A police manhunt is on for a Connewarre man following a fatal stabbing at Whittington on Wednesday afternoon. Detectives were still searching for Joshua Hocking, 35, yesterday afternoon in connection to the stabbing death of a 47-year-old Whittington man, a Victoria Police spokesperson confirmed. Emergency services rushed to a property on Planet Court about 3pm on Wednesday
after reports a man, who The Age yesterday identified as Geoffrey McDonald, had been stabbed. On arrival police found Mr McDonald with life-threatening injuries. Paramedics took him to hospital where he later died. “A 17-year-old male who was also home at the time was not injured,” a police spokesperson said. Police believe Mr Hocking left the address in a purple Ford sedan, which has since been located by officers.
“However, he is yet to be located,” a police spokesperson said. “It is believed the parties were known to each other. “Police are continuing to search for Joshua Hocking following the incident and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.” Detectives yesterday released an image of Mr Hocking in hope someone recognised him and could provide information on his current whereabouts. They warned anyone who sights Mr Hocking not to approach him and to
contact Triple-0 immediately. Police urged anyone with any information to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au. The death is the second in Whittington that Homicide Squad detectives have investigated in the past fortnight. In a separate incident last week, detectives charged Whittington man Haig Arslanian, 39, with murder over the shooting death of his younger brother David Arslanian.

New police, more on the way By Luke Voogt More than 20 new officers have hit the beat across Geelong, the Surf Coast and Colac since July, Victoria Police has announced. The announcement comes a fortnight after the Independent revealed increases in burglaries had driven 7.8 and 11.9 per cent crime rises in Geelong and the Surf Coast respectively in 2019-20. The new officers commenced as part of the biggest investment in regional policing in Victoria Police’s 167-year history, the organisation said. In March, the state government announced
Geelong and the Surf Coast would receive 63 additional police over 12 months – the “most significant” amount provided to the region in one allotment. Eight frontline constables have commenced at stations across Bellarine, Torquay, Colac and Winchelsea since then, while a new sergeant has also commenced at Portarlington and will lead a team of eight permanent police members. A further 17 officers are set to start by April 2021 across Corio, Lara, Portarlington, Torquay, Waurn Ponds and Colac, according to Victoria Police. Another 13 shared divisional officers are already embedded within the local community,
including family violence detectives, sex offences and child abuse detectives, criminal investigators and highway patrol members, according to Victoria Police. Another 24 specialised shared members will commence by April 2021. Geelong Superintendent Craig Gillard said the new officers had already provided a substantial boost to local policing. “The new members we have been allocated have allowed us to further enhance our response across several key areas. We used these new resources to establish the Geelong Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Proactive Investigation Team, which proactively targets
some of our region’s most heinous offenders and puts them behind bars as soon as possible.” Geelong police had also boosted their number of family violence detectives, who would continue to check on “high-risk future victims or perpetrators of family violence”, Superintendent Gillard said. During 2020-21, Geelong will receive a total of 21 general services police while the Surf Coast will receive five. The division will share 37 new police officers including eight Highway Patrol officers, 10 Crime Investigation Unit detectives, nine sexual offence and child abuse detectives, eight family violence detectives and two crime scene services officers.

Girl Guide Maisie Csar raised $103 for bushfire-striken koalas in an entrepreneurial challenge this year. (Louisa Jones) 218221_06
Maisie’s a koala-fied entrepreneur Bushfire-stricken koalas received an almost $500 helping hand from entrepreneurial local Girl Guides on Monday. Second Herne Hill Senior Girl Guides leader Belinda George donated $487.45 to the Australian Koala Foundation’s efforts to rehabilitate the world-famous, cuddly, tree-climbing marsupials. “They’re an Australian icon,” she said. “The koalas lost a lot of their habitat during the bushfires.” The group raised the money through an entrepreneurial challenge earlier this year, with each Guide receiving $5 to turn into as much
money as they could. “The girls were able to reinvest their money as many times as they wanted or could change their tactic mid-program,” Belinda said. “The idea was for them to see what worked and what didn’t. It was also OK if they had no money at the end of the experiment, because sometimes a business venture is not successful, but it’s all a learning curve.” Herne Hill 10-year-old Maisie Csar topped the group’s tally. “I decided to make truffles,” the grade 5 pupil said. “It was really fun making them because I got to smash cookies into crumbs.
“We sold them to some of my mum’s friends and family for $2 a bag. With the money that you got you could put it towards more stuff.” Maisie kept channelling her profits into batches of baked goods until she reached $103. Prior to the challenge she had already raised about $230 for Wildlife Victoria’s efforts to save koalas through baking chocolate chip cookies, according to mum Ellen. “I used to do the same when I was her age,” Ellen said. “I was very proud of the amount that she raised.”
An Armstrong Creek resident has escaped a house fire that is now under police investigation. Geelong Crime Investigation Unit detectives were looking into the fire, which destroyed a single-storey brick house and garage on Tuesday night, a police spokesperson confirmed. An arson chemist also investigated the site on Wednesday. CFA crews rushed to the blaze after receiving reports at 9.32pm of a garage fire at Abigail Court that had spread to the adjoining residence. Connewarre and Grovedale fire brigades attended, with Fire Rescue Victoria crews from Belmont and Geelong supporting at the scene. “The fire spread from the garage to the house. The house was fully involved but under control by 10.07pm,” a CFA spokesperson said. “One person was home at the time of the fire but they self-evacuated and were unharmed. Ambulance Victoria were called as a precaution.” A City of Greater Geelong building surveyor also looked at the site. Police urged anyone with further information phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www. crimestoppersvic.com.au. Luke Voogt

Geelong COVID case cleared as figures drop statewide Health authorities cleared a Geelong resident who tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday following a review on Tuesday. The Department of Health and Human Services reported the case on Tuesday but at the time Premier Daniel Andrews indicated the case was under review. On Tuesday afternoon Barwon Health infectious diseases specialist, Associate Professor Daniel O’Brien, confirmed the review had cleared the resident of any existing infection. “A review of positive COVID-19 test results for a Geelong resident has been confirmed as a cleared case who is not infectious, and was not
infectious after leaving their isolation period,” he said. “Evidence has shown that some people can remain positive for up to three months after they are no longer infectious and even after they have recovered from their illness, as in this case.” Earlier on Tuesday, chief health officer Brett Sutton said the case was “probably not real”. Professor Sutton said swabs could sometimes pick up residual and dead virus fragments despite a case no longer being infectious. He said an expert panel had needed to confirm the case was not a reinfection, which he described as “rare”.
Meanwhile, a Colac resident remains in intensive care at University Hospital Geelong after contracting COVID-19, despite testing negative for the disease on October 6. The patient remained in a critical but stable condition, a Barwon Health spokesperson confirmed yesterday. Victoria recorded six new cases on Wednesday, with no new cases in regional Victoria, according to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The 14-day average for new daily cases in metropolitan Melbourne has dropped to 8.9, while in regional Victoria the average is 0.6
DHHS reported no new deaths from COVID-19 yesterday, with the state’s death toll remaining on 816. The state’s active cases dropped by seven to 175 on Wednesday, while regional Victoria has eight active cases, with five in Mitchell Shire and three in Shepparton. By Wednesday 19,248 people had recovered from COVID-19 and 2,763,802 test results had been received. Mr Andrews indicated earlier this week he could announce some easing of restrictions on Sunday, particularly for regional Victoria. Luke Voogt 3 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 16 October, 2020

Five workplace deaths in a year By Luke Voogt Five people were killed in local workplaces in the 2019-20 financial year, according to data released by WorkSafe on Wednesday. The deaths include a stablehand of Melbourne Cup-winning trainer Danny O’Brien, who was struck by a vehicle while riding a horse on Thirteenth Beach Road, Barwon Heads, on March 9. The collision threw the 30-year-old Japanese man from his horse and he died at the scene. Ocean Grove builder Greg Roberts, 37, was
another of the five to die on local worksites. Mr Roberts fell from scaffolding at a St Leonards building site on November 25, 2019, and died a week later from his injuries at The Alfred hospital. The data, released for WorkSafe’s Health and Safety Month, covers Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast. WorkSafe recorded 1289 injury claims during the 12 months for the three areas, with health care and social assistance industry claims topping the list on 219. Construction followed closely on 215,
while WorkSafe recorded 164 claims in the manufacturing sector. The overall figure is a 2.3 per cent reduction on the 1319 claims during 2018-2019. Musculoskeletal injuries were the most common type in the Geelong area with 344, followed by tendon, muscle and ligament injuries, 243, and wounds, lacerations and amputations, 202. Body stressing was the most common cause of injury, accounting for 426 claims, about a third of total claims. Falls, slips and trips resulted in 262 claims, while 226 claims were
due to workers being hit with moving objects. During October, WorkSafe will offer 16 free online seminars to help employers and workers maintain safe, healthy and connected workplaces during the COVID-19 pandemic. WorkSafe chief executive Colin Radford said this year’s program was designed specifically to respond to immediate needs. “These sessions are a valuable opportunity for people to get their questions answered and hear from the experts on a range of COVID-19 related issues.” Details: worksafe.vic.gov.au/events
Pantry fills local need 10 drivers who pick up supplies and take care packages to those in need. “Without their help I couldn’t be doing this,” she said. “We just did our 50th care package pack on Sunday. It’s just stuff from the back of people’s pantries that’s still in date but they’re happy to donate it to someone else.” Bianca stressed Community Pantry Geelong was only an “emergency stop gap to take the pressure of charities”. She encouraged people to contact charities for longer-term support and services such as counselling. “Because we’re not that big, we don’t have heaps of donations to put together regular packages,” she said. “It’s just for anybody that shouts out that they need help.” Details: Search Community Pantry Geelong on Facebook Luke Voogt

A Geelong food relief group that emerged in response to COVID-19 has grown to almost 600 members. “It just started as a small project for me,” said single mum-of-two and IT worker Bianca Boehmke, who founded Community Pantry Geelong. After seeing calls for help on social media when the pandemic hit in March, the Armstrong Creek local hoped to create “one avenue” for those who urgently needed food. In April a group member isolating due to poor health posted a call for help, saying they did not know where else to turn, Bianca said. “The site just went crazy – there were people donating food and buying food at the supermarket to get them supplies.” As the delivery requests became more regular, Bianca put a call out for others to join her efforts. She now has another two administrators, Jae Davies and Jess Geyer, and

Fix for sex crime legal blunder By Luke Voogt A Geelong sexual crime prevention group has welcomed an “important first step” to fix a state government legal blunder that denied survivors their voice. Victorian Attorney-General Jill Hennessy on Tuesday announced the state government would modify an amendment it introduced in February that unintentionally “silenced” victims. The government had intended the initial amendment to the Judicial Proceedings Reports Act to protect the privacy of sexual crime victims. But a legal oversight in the wording of the amendment meant sexual

assault victims could face a $3304 fine or jail for sharing their stories. The penalties still apply to victims of sexual assault or other individuals who publish the
victim’s name or any information identifying them. Under the legislation, victims or other individuals must obtain a court order before publishing this information. In September, Geelong sexual assault survivor Jess, whose real name the Independent withheld due to the legislation, said the amendment “penalises victims for a crime we did not commit”. This week Helen Bolton, chief executive officer of The Sexual Assault and Family Violence Centre in Geelong, welcomed Ms Hennessy’s announcement of a further amendment to fix the legal oversight. “We are pleased that the Victorian government has listened to the voices of people impacted or
affected by sexual assault and has worked to urgently amend this legislation,” she said. Sharing stories could help some survivors heal and become powerful advocates for other victims, Ms Bolton said. But she acknowledged the state government could take some time to pass the latest reforms. The Attorney-General pledged to urgently introduce the new reforms, which she said would allow victim-survivors to self-publish their identity and most to be identified by consent.

Carpark workout for gym junkies A Belmont carpark workout raising money for Beyond Blue was among scores of creative outdoor gym activities across Geelong this week amid COVID-19 restrictions. Ben Webster joined gym managers across the city striving to keep their clientele fit outdoors, while indoor sessions are still prohibited. “I think it’s great to see so many different businesses adapt to change,” Ben said. “You can sit down and say, ‘why me?’ or you can say, ‘how can I make this work for me?’ “There are businesses adding things that will probably be around for a long time after the
restrictions lift.” The Goodlife Health Club Geelong general manager is running 11 sessions a week for his members and donating all proceeds to mental health charity Beyond Blue. “It’s been a tough time for everyone and we thought a lot of people would be using [Beyond Blue’s services],” he said. On Tuesday afternoon Ben joined members in the carpark for a bodyweight-based ‘fat burner’ class. “We don’t want to go too hard because we know that everyone’s a bit deconditioned,” he
said. The 37-year-old has been in the fitness industry for 11 years. “I was a member just to get my fitness up and then I wanted to change careers so I became a personal trainer,” he said. Ben ran online sessions for his staff and members during the lockdowns but said he had missed seeing them face-to-face. “We have a really great group of members and staff. Talking to people and helping them get their goals has probably been the biggest thing I’ve missed.”

A 68-year-old Norlane man is fighting for life in hospital following a crash on the Princes Highway on Wednesday afternoon. Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives believe an orange Holden sedan and a silver Holden wagon were travelling along Princes Highway in Norlane about 5.20pm at high speed. Witnesses told investigators that the orange Holden collided with a silver Ford sedan as it turned out of Surrey Street. The driver of the Ford, a 68-year-old Norlane man, suffered life-threating injuries and an air ambulance took him to Royal Melbourne Hospital in a critical condition. A hospital spokesperson yesterday said the man’s condition had improved from critical to serious. The driver of the orange Holden, a 33-year-old man from Lovely Banks, suffered minor injuries. Paramedics took him to University Hospital Geelong, an Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said. Police said the man was assisting them with their inquiries. Police alleged the late-model silver Holden wagon failed to stop at the scene of the crash. Investigators are appealing for the driver and any other occupants to come forward. They urged anyone who witnessed the crash or with dashcam footage to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or file a confidential report online at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Quick action saves mate Dylan Johnston possibly saved his mate Drew from a diabetic coma or worse through his quick actions in 2018. The Lara local, now 12, remembered spotting the warning signs during a Saturday night sleepover when they were watching the Transformers movie. The evil Deception Barricade was chasing Bumble Bee onscreen when Dylan noticed Drew looked a bit off-colour. “We were getting to a good part and he wasn’t being as talkative as before,” he said. “I was telling him, ‘dude are you alright?’ and he was like, ‘yeah, I’m alright,’ but his voice was getting fainter.” Dylan alerted Drew’s older sister, despite his protestations, and Drew’s grandmother took him to hospital for treatment.
Dylan later learned his friend could have suffered a diabetic coma if he had not recognised his symptoms. Drew’s family, now living in WA, were very grateful for Dylan’s intervention, according to his mum Adrienne Cofield. “I’m very proud that he did something and didn’t just sit there like, ‘what do I do?’” she said. Just days before the incident, Dylan participated in St John Ambulance Victoria first aid training at school. Geelong locals can now polish up their first aid skills in St John Ambulance Victoria’s new online course. Details: stjohnvic.com.au/online-courses or email community.engagement@ambulance. vic.gov.au

Geelong COVID cash finding By Luke Voogt The virus that causes COVID-19 can survive 28 days on banknotes, mobile phone screens and stainless-steel, Geelong-based researchers have found. Although Australian cash appears to be less COVID-friendly than paper banknotes used in countries such as the US, according to the internationally-significant research. CSIRO scientists at Geelong’s Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness found the virus, SARS-CoV-2, survived longer and in higher quantities on paper banknotes than polymer. The difference in survivability on paper (21 days) and plastic (seven days) banknotes was highest at 30 degrees celsius, and much lower at 20 and 40 degrees. The centre’s deputy director Debbie Eagles said the coronavirus survived longer at lower temperatures and was “extremely robust at 20 degrees celsius”. At 20 degrees the virus could survive up to 28 days on glass and plastic banknotes, Dr Eagles said. The results reinforced the need for practices such as regular handwashing and cleaning surfaces, she said. “Similar experiments for Influenza A have found that it survived on surfaces for 17 days, which highlights just how resilient SARS-CoV-2 is.” The research also found SARS-CoV-2
survived longer on smooth surfaces including glass, stainless-steel and vinyl, compared to porous complex surfaces such as cotton, Dr Eagles said. The scientists applied droplets of SARS-CoV-2 in artificial mucous to surfaces at concentrations similar to those in samples from infected patients. They conducted the study in the dark, as previous research has demonstrated UV light from direct sunlight can rapidly inactivate the virus. Establishing the survivability of the virus on various surfaces was critical for developing risk-mitigation strategies in high-contact areas, Dr Eagles said. Scientists had yet to determine the precise role of surface transmission in the pandemic, and the contact and amount of virus required for infection, she said. Centre director Trevor Drew said many viruses remained viable on surfaces outside their host, and that their survivability and infectiousness depended on various factors. “Proteins and fats in body fluids can also significantly increase virus survival times,” Professor Drew said. “The research may also help to explain the apparent persistence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 in cool environments with high lipid or protein contamination, such as meat processing facilities, and how we might better address that risk.”

MY GEELONG The Streets Barber Nasir Sobhani has groomed our most vulnerable for the past few years in Geelong West. He speaks to Luke Voogt about continuing his mission to give them a new outlook on life with the hair scissors during COVID-19. Tell us about you … I’m 32-years-old, live in Geelong West and work at The Streets Barbershop. My hobby is basketball but serving the community and barbering are my passions. My background is ethnically Persian, and religiously I am a Baha’i. Being a religious minority, the Iranian Revolution left the Baha’i with no choice but to flee the country. My parents left Iran before the revolution and moved to the Philippines Not long after we moved to Japan where my brothers and I were born, and then we lived in Canada for 15 years. Now I’m living in this beautiful country, Australia. I’ve never been to Iran but I hope one day we can return. What’s your Geelong connection? Geelong is close to the prisons and one of my goals was to do more volunteer work as The Streets Barber. I felt I was working so much in Melbourne but not serving as much as I wanted, so I made the move to regional Victoria. This allowed me to volunteer more at the prisons. How did you become The Streets Barber?

I took The Sudsy Challenge earlier this month wearing the same clothes for three days to raise money for Orange Sky. Orange Sky is a phenomenal organisation that washes clothes for marginalised people. A haircut or clean clothes can do so much for someone’s emotional and mental wellbeing.
How are you coping with COVID-19?
What are your favourite things to do locally? I love to go for nice drives in the country or along the beautiful coastal waters. I love the people here in Geelong, everyone is so nice and it’s not so busy like in Melbourne. … I also love Pakington Street and its awesome cafés. I might be a little biased but I think we have
We’re coping the way everyone else is, putting our heads down and realising there isn’t anything we can do but go through this as a community. I try not to look at how hard it is for me, because I see how much harder it is for people who are in strict lockdown or have got COVID-19. People have died and lost jobs from it. Luckily, we’ve been able to continue to work and I still have my health. I’m trying to take the pandemic seriously; I don’t joke around with wearing a mask and I do my best to socially distance. I haven’t been able to go out on the streets as much because people there have compromised
immunity and I never want to potentially put someone at risk. They haven’t been able to get that human interaction that they would normally due to restrictions. So I put in extra effort these days at the shop to be kind and accommodating. What’s something people might not know about you? I’ve been an on-and-off vegan for the past year but the last six months I’ve been strict with it. The main reason for choosing to become vegan is because the healthier I can be, the better I can be of service. Orange Sky is calling on Geelong locals to volunteer in its free laundry service.

Coming from a period of addiction, I was able to empathise with a lot of people who were suffering from similar situations and feeling low. I found that barbering was a great tool to alter that train of thought. People were able to go from zero to hero and would become a happy person after the service. This was not only from me grooming them but also the connection and the care given to them, as well as showing them love. I thought people that needed it the most are those being neglected the most out on the streets. I would cut hair for a local homeless guy right by the barbershop I was apprenticing at in Fitzroy. After I realised I was making that person happy just by giving him a haircut, I asked myself, why don’t I do it for other marginalised people? It helped me when I was trying to sober up to find a path that was fruitful, conducive and healthy. Whether you’re being paid or not, it does something special with your spiritual side. People think I’m doing them a favour but in reality they’re doing me a favour by giving me the opportunity to serve.

Artistic journey continues in inclusive exhibition A scene of brooding thunderclouds looming above Capitol Hill marks the latest step in Aaron Deans’ lifelong artistic journey. “My art used to be all scribbly, now I’m more talented,” the 26-year-old said. “It feels great to show the whole world my talent and gift.” The Clifton Springs local is exhibiting the piece in the sixth annual Inclusive Arts Network (IAN) exhibition, which runs at East Geelong’s Rachinger Gallery until October 31. Inspired by everything from thunderstorms, books and trees, to power plants, oil refineries and even real estate ads, Deans started drawing when he “was very small”. “Drawing’s always been a favourite activity of mine – I did it at camp, I did it my nan’s house when she was alive,” he said. Illustrations, drawings and photos brought focus and meaning into his life, calming him and nurturing his imaginative strengths. “I just keep going, I don’t stop,” he said. But he decided to take his art “more seriously” about a year ago following a suggestion from disability services provider genU. His signature style focuses on minute detail in architectural and industrial structures. Often superimposed against turbulent and threatening skyscapes, he features complex designs of power stations or historical buildings of significance. Deans uses fine liners and grey leads to

create dramatic, artistic moods in his works, which have earned him several accolades and art prizes. He developed the style with help from genU Eastern Hub art teacher Gosia Reflinski.
“She’s such a great support and help,” he said. “She’s almost like a second mum. I’m so grateful for all that she does.” In his latest piece, a thunderstorm looms above a famous US government building
as Mother Nature prepares to unleash a reckoning on President Donald Trump and his administration. The IAN exhibition features a diverse and eclectic collection of work by artists with disabilities or mental health issues from across Victoria. Among this year’s other highlights are Chelle Destefano’s Sleeping Taxi and the Dogs and Michelle Loschiavo’s hyperreal wildlife portraits, according to organiser Donald Harvey. Harvey said this year’s exhibition was open-themed to enable artists to choose their subject and medium without limits. “IAN believes that the artistic aspirations and achievements of people with disability are important for the processing of events,” he said. “The expression of feelings and concepts are a fundamental part of community identity.” The artworks range include paintings, prints, collages, sculptures, imagery including portraitures, real and imaginary creatures, abstract works and landscapes. The exhibition includes artists from Arthur Creative Services, ArtGusto, Creative Community Studios Bendigo and genU’s Geelong studios and gallery. Details: inclusiveartsnetwork.org Luke Voogt

Viewers can creep through a haunted house via the camera lens, alongside magician Richard Vega, by tuning into Spookfest online on October 31. “It’s all family-friendly – it’s not going to give children nightmares but it will certainly stimulate their imaginations,” venue manager Rob MacLeod said. “It will give people a taste and teaser of what to expect in 2021. All will be revealed!” COVID-19 has forced organisers, who have
been working on Spookfest for more than 14 months, to recreate the magic online instead. “You’ll be walking through a haunted house and within that will be projections and live people,” MacLeod said. “You might feel like you’re falling down a lift, or walking through a graveyard and something will appear, or you look at a portrait … and it might look back you. “The big-ticket item is that you walk through a clown face into a weird circus world. This is where all the community groups get involved.” Performers from across Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula will put on mini shows and dances in the big top, while ‘Doris the green-faced witch’ will show off her musical skills as DJ.
“There might be a group doing a Thriller dance or a zombie play,” McLeod said. “We’ve done lots of live streaming and we’ve done some preliminary testing of it.” Chantelle and Benji from Fresh Creative Entertainment will also perform dances to entice viewers into the mysterious world of Spookfest. Viewers can even have their fortune told by MacLeod’s latest alter ego Zoltar – if they dare! “I’m sure if somebody passes a coin over Zoltar’s palm he will act accordingly,” he said. “It’s definitely not to be taken too seriously, what Zoltar ends up predicting.” After 45 years performing, Zoltar is one of MacLeod’s most unique acting challenges to date.
“He’s a little bit two-dimensional at times,” he said. “He has a very dry sense of humour – that’s probably because he’s made out of plastic.” Geelong council chief executive Martin Cutter congratulated the Potato Shed for celebrating the Bellarine Peninsula through Spookfest. “Even through the immense challenges that our local arts community is facing … we are seeing some incredibly clever and creative re-imagining of its programs, transforming large-scale live events to equally large-scale … virtual experiences,” he said. “Everyone is invited to get into the spirit of Halloween by tuning into Potato Shed TV from 6pm to enjoy Spookfest.” Search ‘Potato Shed TV’ online to tune in. 13 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 16 October, 2020

Payment cuts ‘unfair’ It was distressing to read that there are more than 17,000 people relying on JobSeeker incomes here in Geelong (“Infrastructure
winner in budget,” Geelong Indy, 9/10/2020). I was also upset to learn about the federal government’s plans to end the COVID-19 supplement in December and go back to the previously $40-a-day Newstart allowance for those who are looking for employment. People on JobSeeker already had their incomes cut recently by $300 a fortnight and the federal budget has offered an extremely gloomy and uncertain outlook for them. This is both disappointing and unfair. The recession is not their fault. Geelong’s JobSeekers desperately depend on a proper and liveable weekly income to enable them to purchase the essential goods and services they need to survive. This income would also provide a welcome stimulus to our
Geelong economy. The recession is hitting our city’s small businesses hard. I’m certain these businesses would value the extra dollars job seekers could spend if they were given the income they both deserve and need. Robert Van Zetten Highton
Remove travel bans In his recent budget speech, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said a disturbing thing, there would be a gradual return to international travel some time in 2022. That’s right 2022. I don’t think Mr Frydenberg realises that retirees don’t have time on their side and effectively it may be up
We’re extending the JobKeeper Payment until 28 March 2021.

Green cost ‘horrendous’
The Australian Government is extending the temporary JobKeeper Payment to the end of March 2021. From 28 September, businesses must meet the turnover test and submit their declarations by the 14th of each month. There will be two new payment rates – one for those who work more than 20 hours per week in the relevant period, and another for those who work less. The employee eligibility date has also changed to 1 July, meaning some businesses could claim for more staff. It’s part of our plan to keep business in business, and Australians in jobs.
28 Mar 2021
to two years before we can travel overseas. I’d like to travel now while my health is good. Who knows what’s down the track health-wise. One wonders if retirees in their twilight years will ever get the opportunity to travel and see their loved ones overseas in the foreseeable future. The treasurer said that international travel, including by tourists and international students, is largely closed off until late next year (2021) and then gradually return over time – that’s if a vaccine becomes available around the end of 2021. The travel embargo will be economically catastrophic for this country. It will also hurt the freedoms of Australians and those who want to visit our country. The travel ban makes no sense given that this country is facing a mountain of debt. So what is the logic in cutting off a vital major revenue stream? This begs the question what will happen to Australian airlines like Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin? Will this country have any airlines left at the end of 2021? And why the fixation with a corona vaccine? Ninety-nine per cent of people who are infected recover and even those in their 70s almost 95 per cent recover. Experts agree that we have to live with the virus. Governments have no right to deny its citizens basic freedoms and the severe limitations placed on the travel movement of Australians is not warranted nor justified as the Constitution permits freedom of movement for all under section 102. It’s time to stand up to the abuse of power by the states and for both federal and state governments to abide by the constitution.
JobKeeper
Your correspondent Viv Forbes (October 9) observes that ‘green zealots infest all parties’. They are encouraged by our media, often incurious and catastrophist, and reluctant to report that Australia is installing renewables faster than virtually every country in the world. Even though wind and solar generated 16 per cent of Australia’s electricity in 2019, the cost already has been horrendous. Last year the renewables subsidies alone averaged $3000 per Australian household. Once the cheapest electricity in the world, we now have amongst the dearest. Along with coal and iron ore, we are now exporting manufacturing jobs to Asia, with 200,000 lost since 2008. And the Coalition wants to go even further, reducing 2005 emissions by 26 per cent by 2030. Crazy-brave Labour wants net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The impact on the world’s temperature? When asked at a Parliamentary inquiry, our chief scientist replied ’virtually nothing’. Meanwhile, China produces 28 per cent of the world’s CO2 emissions, more than the USA and EU combined. Australia? A minuscule 1.3 per cent. China’s steel industry alone produces almost three times this. Because China was given developing nation status at Paris, it is not required to reduce emissions until 2030 and thereafter only by a soft formula based on their GDP. China is building or planning several hundred coal-fired power stations in China and other countries, many using our coal. Increasingly wealthy, China is buying our dairy farms, cattle stations, energy companies and ports. As Viv Forbes also observes, we have a ‘bipartisan parliament of fools’. Lindsay Brown Grovedale

TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK
THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW
SATURDAY
TEN/WIN, 8.30pm
VICTORIA ABC, 7.30pm
Exquisitely designed, with lavish costumes and many elegant bonnets, this historical series is a feast for the eyes. Season three begins tonight in 1848, when a heavily pregnant Queen Victoria (The Cry’s Jenna Coleman, pictured left) is shocked by two unexpected arrivals. Her half-sister Princess Feodora (Kate Fleetwood, Harlots) and the deposed French king, Louis Philippe (Vincent Regan), land on her doorstep seeking asylum. At the same time, the Chartist movement threatens the monarchy.
MONDAY
SAS AUSTRALIA SEVEN/PRIME7, 7.30pm
There’s no cash prizes and certainly no winners at the end of this star-studded reality slough. Seventeen celebrity recruits have volunteered for the Special Forces selection course, a process that will push them to their physical and mental limits, subjected to extreme endurance tests, sleep deprivation, interrogation and psychological testing. No allowances will be made for the status, age or gender in the gruelling course, led by an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers. Former Bali inmate Schapelle Corby (pictured right) is frank about why she wants to take part in such an unpleasant experience: “I’ve been locked away for a very long time… I’m 43 now. I want to change my life.”
TUESDAY
THE UPSIDE OF DOWNS ABC, 9.30pm

In this thought-provoking documentary, Julia wants to know what mothersto-be are thinking when faced with the prospect of having a child with Down syndrome. She also meets several families, rse while showcasing her diverse community and the value they bring.
Let’s face it, the abbreviated filmedat-home episodes of Graham Norton’s long-running talk show filmed earlier this year belong in a time capsule. While the exuberant host tried his best, they were no substitute for the real deal. For season 28, Norton is back in the studio with a socially distanced audience and a selection of guest stars, s ars, both in-person and st an vvirtual. vi rtual. The famous big the red sofa is a thing of th past, with celebrity gue guests now separated in pods pods.

Coomedian Graham Norton hosts The Graham Norton Show.

BETHANY SUPERHEROES AWARDS
Tilly honours her superhero mum Single mum Tara Knevitt has survived family violence and COVID-19 while raising her three children, working in childcare and studying. No wonder her eldest daughter Tilly thinks she’s a super hero! “She has to look after my brother, my sister and me, and she has to work and do all the stuff in the house,” the eight-year-old said. “And mow the lawns. Mum isn’t scared of spiders or anything. And she doesn’t get angry.” Tilly remembered her mum struggling to breath after Tara contracted coronavirus in July.
‘‘
quite overwhelmed that she chose me and thinks so highly of me - Tara Knevitt
’’
“My mum was very sick,” Tilly said. Paramedics rushed Tara, who has asthma, to hospital on July 20. “I went in because I had really bad shortness of breath,” the St Albans Park mum said. “I couldn’t string two words together.” Tara returned home the next day and spent several weeks isolating, not only from the outside world but her own children. The family’s five-week isolation included a precautionary extra 14-days’ quarantine for the children. “Because I ended up in hospital a week after I had the test done, they had to add a week after it,” Tara explained. Tara recovered without passing the coronavirus onto anyone, she said. “The department sent me a big bunch of masks and gowns. It was a lot of screen time, Uber eats and people dropping things off to our door.
EVERY FRIDAY
“I kind of just sucked it up and did what I had to do, although there were a lot of times where I had to sit by myself and have a bit of a cry.” Tara has worked in aged care for 18 years and is currently studying a Diploma of Child, Youth and Family Intervention. “I’d like to work helping children and women fleeing from domestic violence,” she said. “Unfortunately, I’ve experienced that myself so I just want to give back. “I ended up having to flee with my two girls and an eight-week-old baby at the start of 2019.” The man, now incarcerated, was Tara’s second abusive partner, both of who she preferred not to name. “Their stories and what they chose to do with their lives won’t define my life or children’s life,” she said. “I want my girls to be strong independent women who stand up for themselves, because I wasn’t.” Tara was “super proud” of her playful, imaginative daughter’s winning entry in this year’s Bethany Superhero Awards. An avid baker, bike rider, Minecraft player and trampoline enthusiast, Tilly initially created the poster honouring mum as a school project. “I joke and say, ‘it’s about time I get some recognition’ but I was quite overwhelmed that she chose me and thinks so highly of me,” Tara said. “Yep, I’ve been through the absolute ringer over the past few years and it’s made me the strong person that I am.” Tilly and Tara won a signed Cats jumper, $750, a Sea All Dolphin Swims voucher and other locally-based prizes. The awards’ 13 other finalists also won a range of prizes. For family violence support, call Bethany on 5278 8122 or The Orange Door on 1800 312 820.

FEATURING ... EDUCATION
A special opportunity awaits A special opportunity for students entering year 3 in 2021 is on offer, with Christian College’s ‘Learning That Matters’ (LTM) scholarships. Scholarships will be awarded to a small number of year 3 students at each of the junior school campuses for the duration of their educational journey at Christian College. Campuses locations are at Belmont, Drysdale and Torquay. Principal Glen McKeeman says a young person’s future is moulded by their experiences today. “A quality education creates a pathway that determines and shapes what a child might do, where they may go and equip them to get there,” he explains. “At Christian College, the focus is on delivering learning that sparks curiosity, that is lifelong, that nurtures the whole person, that fosters a sense of community and inspires individuals to make a difference in their world on their life’s journey – learning that matters.” A year 3 LTM Scholarship at Christian College Geelong provides opportunities for children to further develop their passion for learning and guide them towards a flourishing future. “We are seeking students who are outstanding citizens, have a thirst for learning, are curious and keen to make a positive difference in the lives of others, but due to financial circumstances, have been unable to consider or take up an educational opportunity at Christian College Geelong,” Mr McKeeman says. “The goal of the LTM Scholarship is to uncover the full breadth of a student’s capabilities and develop their gifts and talents, as they actively contribute to the faith and culture of Christian College.”

Scholarship opportunities are available for year 3 students. (Picttures: Supplied)
Applying for an LTM Scholarship LTM Scholarship information and the application for enrolment form can be found on the website. As well as completing this form, students are required to submit a piece of work – an artefact – that demonstrates their understanding and

collectively towards improving our world in a way that benefits the lives of others. The application also asks for a copy of the student’s most recent school report to be submitted. Applications close at 4pm on Friday, October 23.
Selecting successful applicants All students and families will be considered according to: • Congruence with the core values of Christian College Geelong. • Conceptual understanding and artefact presentation outlining how to make our world a better place. • A desire for the student to become immersed in the opportunities provided at Christian College and develop his/her gifts and talents. Selected students and their parents/guardians will be invited to meet with the respective Head of Campus to discuss their application further, as part of the selection process.

USED CAR CHECKOUT
Hyundai Accent 2011 - 2018 By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Hyundai Accent is a familiar sight in Australia since it was launched here in June 2000. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aimed at those looking for sensible, affordable no-frills transport. The first Accents were on the ordinary side by todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standards, build quality could have been better and handling was on the soft side. They improved with each new generation and Accent really came of age in July 2011 when the fourth generation arrived. Even more importantly it has Australiandeveloped suspension tuning. Hyundai Accent are sold in hatchback and sedan bodies, with the sedan having an impressively large boot for car in this class. Accent is solidly built and older ones that have been looked after properly are worth considering if your budget is tight. But make sure to have a professional inspection and, ideally, be able to do a fair bit of your own repair work. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good interior room in this small-medium Korean and buyers with pre-teen children can easily use the Accent as a family car. The boot is roomy and easy to use and has a good shape thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple to load. Power comes from a naturally-aspirated petrol engine of 1.4, 1.5 or 1.6 litres, with the 1.6 being offered in two stages of tune, with a more powerful unit in the Sport model. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a 1.6-litre turbo-diesel which costs more but uses less fuel. This sort of engine has never been popular in cars in Australia, but is well worth checking out if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a lot of driving. On trips on the open road you can get fuel consumption under five litres per hundred without having to put any special effort into
2014 Hyundai Accent SR

your driving technique. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mix of four and six-cylinder automatic and manual transmissions. Most of the autos are conventional torque convertor units, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a CVT unit in the 1.4 engine. Hyundai is a well established part of the Australian automotive scene. The dealer network is large and widespread, though as is often the way in a car in this class, representation in the bush can be on the sparse side. We have heard of no real complaints about the cost of servicing or spare parts. The Accent is a simple design and has good underbonnet space, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite easy to work on. A lot of routine stuff can be done by a good home handyperson. But always leave safety-related items to the professional. Having a workshop manual on hand is always a smart move. Insurance charges are moderate and there doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to be a great deal of difference between companies as to the premiums they
charge. Shop around but, as always, make sure you are doing a full apples-with-apples comparison before making your final choice.
What to look for Hyundai Accents generally hold up well on rough Australian roads, but listen for squeaks and rattles from the body. Also for trim movement inside the cabin during your test drive. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a couple of Accents with rust in their bodies after theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been poorly repaired after crashes. Look over the interior, including the boot, for signs of rough usage. Do an engine check for easy starting and smooth idling. Where possible this should be done with the engine cold after itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been sitting overnight. While travelling at a very low speed turn the steering wheel all the way from one side to the other and listen for clunking noises near the front wheels. These probably mean the universal joints are worn. Feel for a manual gearbox that baulks
during fast gearchanges, especially during the three-two downchange â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it may be on its way out. An automatic transmission that holds onto gears too long, or skips up and down unnecessarily, may be due for an overhaul. If in doubt, get a quote before settling on purchase as it could make a big hole in your budget.
How much? Expect to pay from $3000 to $6000 for a 2011 Hyundai accent Premium; $5000 to $8000 for a 2012 Active; $6000 to $9500 for a 2014 SR; $7000 to $11,000 for a 2015 Elite or a 2016 Active; $8000 to $13,000 for a 2017 Active; and $9000 to $14,000 for a 2017 Sport
Car buying tip Always search hard to find the best car at the best price â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and do the same with finance and insurance.

FEATURING ... AUTO
New generation is impressive New Kia Sorento has just been launched in Australia. It’s aimed at those looking for the comfort of a sedan / people mover-type vehicle, not simply an SUV. The fourth generation of Kia’s popular Sorento SUV is the first vehicle to be based on Kia’s new-generation ‘N3’ SUV platform. It is wider than its predecessor and sits on a longer wheelbase so can accommodate seven people in comfort, and a significant amount of luggage. Even with all seven seats in place, boot space is 32 per cent larger than the superseded Sorento.
used for, for instance, phone calls and music, while front passengers can also plug in their mobile devices via three USB chargers. For second-row passengers, two USB charging sockets are integrated into the backs of the front seats (Sport+ & GT-Line only), with a third at the back of the front-row centre console. Both third-row passengers also have their own 12V Power Outlet charging points (whilst Sport+ and GT-Line offers two additional USB chargers), meaning all seven passengers can keep their mobile device charged – the perfect measure to maintain harmony in a full car during longer journeys. The 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment and navigation system has many functions and can also be controlled with new buttons on either side of the screen.
Styling The new shape is a collaborative design between all three studios in Kia’s worldwide design network – in Korea, Europe and North America. It is more sculpted than before with the front having the latest interpretation of Kia’s hallmark ‘tiger nose’ grille. There are rectangular lower air intakes, wing-shaped air curtains channel air around the car. The sharp bumper lip is capped with a skid plate. The trailing edge of the bonnet wraps around the front wings and turns into a single, strong character line which extends along the side of the Sorento and into the rear lights. The wide D-pillars that have defined all three Sorento previous generations have been retained but this time with a fair bit more style than previously. New Sorento has a choice of seven paint finishes; one standard colour in Clear White, and six Premium Paints ($695 option); Mineral Blue (New Colour), Snow White Pearl, Steel Grey, Silky Silver, Aurora Black and Gravity Blue.

Entry-level S features an eight-inch colour LCD touch screen, and along with Sport and Sport+, a 4.2-inch colour TFT supervision instrument cluster. The infotainment system also allows Bluetooth smartphone pairing for two phones concurrently, enabling separate phones to be
Kia’s new four-cylinder 2.2-litre ‘Smartstream’ diesel engine debuts in Australia in the Sorento. Producing 148kW and 440Nm torque it is paired with Kia’s new eight-speed wet double-clutch transmission and drives all four wheels. An updated Lambda III 3.5 litre V6 petrol engine producing 200kW and 332Nm will drive the front wheels through Kia’s eight-speed torque converter automatic. It won’t be here till late November, perhaps early December. A plugin hybrid Sorento is due to be launched in 2021, it’s likely to come to Australia but Kia won’t comment at this stage.
Safety The Sorento is fitted with seven airbags (dual front airbags, dual front seat-mounted side airbags, side curtain airbags with rollover sensor, and front centre airbag).

Driving Like all Kia models, the Sorento’s on-road capability and comfort has been optimised to best suit the tastes of Australian drivers through the local tuning program. On road the designers have come close to providing the sedan-like comfort they were aiming for. Noise levels are low in general driving, bump-thump on joining strips on bridges is minimal, sound does increase on concrete motorways but is lower than average for a vehicle of this type. Cornering is positive, with good feedback through the steering wheel and positive changes in direction when the driver wants
it. Obviously it’s no sports car, nor a sports sedan, but those who enjoy diving won’t feel as frustrated as they would in others in this vehicle class. The engine is quiet even when accelerated hard. The automatic transmission changes imperceptibly and responds quickly to the conditions. Manual control through steering wheel paddles is there but unless you’re pedalling hard on your favourite driving road – which seems unlikely in an SUV – you’re probably not going to need the transmission overrides. Off road the Sorento has enhanced all-terrain ability thanks to having Terrain Mode (only in the diesels, keep in mind the petrols only have 2WD). TM assists the driver in mud, snow and sand. It controls the car’s standard electronic stability control, as well as the distribution of torque to all four wheels. The TM adapts transmission shift times to help maintain traction in hard off-road driving. However we didn’t do any off-road testing as many tracks are closed at the moment as locals are keen to keep strangers out. As with all Kia models Sorento is covered by the seven-year unlimited kilometre warranty, seven-year capped price service and seven-year roadside assist.

The front centre airbag is a first for Australia and provides head protection for front-seat occupants by preventing their heads coming into contact during a crash. Kia’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) includes Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) technology with pedestrian, cyclist and vehicle detection. This also detects oncoming traffic when making a turn at a junction. The Sorento is available with Blind-spot View Monitor (GT-Line only), Surround View Monitor (GT-Line) and Blind-spot Collision-avoid Assist, Advanced Smart Cruise Control, Lane Following Assist and Driver Attention Warning. Kia’s ‘level two’ autonomous driving technology, Lane Following Assist (LFA), controls acceleration, braking and steering depending on the vehicles in front. It operates between speeds of 0 and 180 km/h, using camera and radar sensors to maintain a safe distance from the car in front, while monitoring road markings to keep the Sorento in the centre of its lane.

Summing up Kia has made a large leap forward in the affordable SUV’s with its new Sorento. It’s pleasant to drive, provides very good interior space and comfort and it seems likely it will carve out a large slice of the SUV market. Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring

FEATURING ... AUTO
The eternal new-tyres dilemma: quality or price? The same is true for our car’s shoes – or tyres. But, unlike shoes, tyres tend to look the same so how do we sort the Bridgestones from the “bargains”? Experts say that the first consideration is choosing the right tyre for your vehicle. Sounds obvious, but when carmakers develop a new model, they go to a lot of trouble selecting the best tyre fit, so your car’s original tyre brand and type is generally the best guide. The owner’s manual will recommend the right size and load and speed ratings, but the choice of tyre is left to you. Experts generally agree that tyre purchasers should “trust the brands they know”. The recognised brands usually have a premium price, with the lesser-knowns much cheaper – so how do we navigate the price versus quality dilemma? The well-known brands are a safe bet, with the depth of their makers’ research and tech know-how assured. But beyond those recognised brands, how do we identify a second-rate tyre? If the brand isn’t a recognised one, with little or no history in the marketplace, alarm bells should start ringing. It’s tempting to choose a much cheaper tyre, but that comes with a risk that might not be worth taking, say the tyre gurus. Graham Smith, writing for CarsGuide, says that tyres perform a number of vital functions on our vehicles. “They are arguably the most important piece of safety equipment we have,” he writes. “They allow us to accelerate, steer and brake safely, on all road surfaces in all weather conditions.

Just like our shoes eventually wear out, so too do a car’s. If our shoe happens to carry, say, the Adidas or the Manolo Blahnik brand, we’d expect the quality and durability to match the price tag; if it comes from a store’s bargain basket, expectations would be considerably less, writes Carole Levy.
“Buying tyres from an unknown brand is potentially compromising some, or all of those functions. Settling for second-best is potentially putting at risk our safety and the
safety of our loved ones. “The major tyre companies are all represented in this country; they all have offices you can contact if things go wrong with their products.”
Unknown brands generally don’t offer that sort of back-up – so best do some research before falling for “cheap”, which might be the opposite of “safe”.

SPORT Geelong says thanks for the tip, skip A fortune-telling ’roo was feeling the love for Geelong on Tuesday morning, selecting a Cats jersey from a line-up of the four remaining premiership contenders. Every morning at first light, a mob kangaroos and wallabies meet on shores of Cape Hillsborough to chose between a frond of seaweed or a mangrove pod for breakfast. But on Tuesday one kangaroo was given an entirely different choice; the opportunity to predict the winner of the 2020 AFL Grand Final. The prediction was the second attempt from the soothsaying marsupial, who initially seemed reluctant to make a choice. The reaction from 50 or so travellers on the beach to watch the kangaroo’s prediction proved a mixed bag. But a Geelong-supporting mum spending time at Cape Hillsborough was thrilled with the omen.

“I think the kangaroo was pretty spot on when it picked Geelong … because that’s who I’m going for,” she said. “Go Geelong!” No doubt Cats fans will hope the ’roo develops a similar record to Paul the Octopus, the eight-legged oracle that rose to fame for predicting winners in the 2010 FIFA World
Cup. The portent faces its first test when Geelong takes on Brisbane at the Gabba in Saturday night’s prelim. The visit to Cape Hillsborough is part of a 10-day tour taking the AFL Premiership Cup Trophy through Queensland ahead of the historic game in Brisbane on October 24, 2020.

Last hurdle for final berth By Luke Voogt Geelong Cats hope to complete the final step into the AFL Grand Final after making the preliminary finals for the fifth time since their 2011 premiership. Star forward Tom Hawkins expected Saturday night’s blockbuster against Brisbane Lions at the Gabba to be a quick, high-intensity game. The Coleman medallist will likely face fellow All-Australian Harris Andrews, who he respected despite gaining the edge on him in their past few encounters. “His ability one-on-one is as good as anyone and the way that he reads the game is second to none,” Hawkins told a press conference on Tuesday. “I’ll take confidence from last time we played and also look at what I did on the weekend and just go and try to play my game.” Hawkins kicked 4.1 in the Cats’ semi-final win against Collingwood last weekend, compared to 0.5 the week before. He attributed his return to accuracy to simple goalkicking practice. “I got the work in. If you’re down in any part of your game you work on it,” he said. “We did some work today out on the oval. It doesn’t

necessarily mean I’m going to kick well, but I’m really confident that given an opportunity I’m going to make the most of it.” The Cats have made the preliminary finals 10 times in the past 14 years, including their three most recent premierships, but have lost their past four prelims since their 2011 flag. Almost every Geelong player has played a prelim, while only five Lions have made it to this stage of the season. But the finals experience would not necessarily give the Cats the edge after a season like no other, Hawkins said. “The way that we’re removed from the general public in our hub and own little bubble, it is slightly different.” Star midfielder Patrick Dangerfield was explosive in Geelong’s loss to Port Adelaide and continued his white-hot form against Collingwood. He kicked four goals, including two amazing bananas from the boundary, and is a game-changer in the centre or up forward. “Pat’s such a dynamic player, he’s really hard to match up on,” Hawkins said. “I try play a little bit higher and leave Pat a bit deeper. “He draws the footy to him, he draws defenders to him, which makes our job easier.”
The Cats have trained regularly under lights, and had a “physical” session on Wednesday night in the lead-up to the game, according to assistant coach Matthew Knights. Knights acknowledged Brisbane’s two “underrated” ruckmen and quick midfield. He floated Cam Guthrie or Brandon Parfitt as options to tag Lachie Neale or other Brisbane midfielders but said the Cats would adjust on the night if needed. Knights said he was hugely excited for Saturday night’s game. The Cats dominated possession and clearances in their round six win against Brisbane. If they can repeat that, keep the ball up forward and make the most of their opportunities like they did last weekend, it will go a long way towards a Geelong victory. The Lions have won all 10 games at the Gabba this year, but the Cats have their four games there too. The match will be a clash of two of the AFL’s most talented and deep midfields, while mercurial forward Charlie Cameron is a wildcard for the Lions. Up the other end Hawkins and Dangerfield, along with Gary Ablett and Gary Rohan, will test the Lions’ backline. Cats in the thriller by 8.
What a fantastic week it has been for local fishing with all parts of the bay fishing well for both land-based and boat anglers. St Helens rocks has been fishing very well this past week with silver trevally, King George whiting, flathead and snapper up to 4kg being caught. The rough weather we have had over the past few days has brought the fish in close and they are more than willing to eat despite the low water temperature. Alcoa pier has been holding large numbers of Australian salmon tight against the pier. They are currently feeding on small whitebait, so 3-inch plain white soft plastics have been the perfect lure to throw. Clifton Springs has had quite a good snapper bite this past week for both anglers fishing bait and soft plastics, anywhere along the channel or the section known as ‘the bend’ has been holding majority of the action. Bait fishing the edge of the channel has been a very effective tactic for finding fish with sizes getting up to 7kg. The water temperature is still a little bit low but as the weeks go on it should rise and the fishing should turn into a frenzy. The Queenscliff Harbour has been fishing quite well with silver trevally, salmon and pinkie snapper all chewing well. Adam and Daniel from Trellys Geelong snuck out on Monday finding themselves plenty of pinkies to 45cm with gulp turtleback worms being the lure of choice. The boys also shot out to ‘the bight’ in search of some calamari and had an absolute blinder of a session landing their bag of squid in no time with hook-ups virtually every cast. Otway streams and rivers are still fishing quite well for brown trout with the Bahram River, which flows through Apollo Bay, being a standout location. Brad Apps made the drive down at the weekend throwing Bassday Sugar Minnows, which proved irresistible to the browns. Although no size records were broken, they sure made up for it in numbers. The Glenelg River has had a few reports of mulloway roll in this week with some solid fish coming in from down the front of the system. Alistair Welsh got down there on the weekend with son Simon and they managed a very solid fish, measuring 98cm, caught on bait down near the mouth.
