Imaginations take flight

Nine-year-old Jaida Bapaume was among 25 local children getting lost with the fairies in their native habitat, Geelong Botanic Gardens, on Tuesday. “They really get into it,” said the garden’s Jenny Possingham, who has run the magical fairies and dragons workshops for several years. The children used flowers, sticks, bark and coloured rocks to make mini gardens for the pixies or their fire-breathing foes. “And a bit of glitter, because there’s no small child that doesn’t like glitter, apparently,” Jenny said. “We have a tree called the dragon’s blood tree and many years ago, well before my time, someone wrote a story about that tree and the last dragon ‘Draco’. “So it’s a way of celebrating one of our significant trees.” The workshops were fully-booked this week, with a few spots remaining for next week. The activity is one of many in Love Central Geelong’s school holiday program. Details: centralgeelong.com.au Luke Voogt

Interstate holiday chaos By Luke Voogt Scores of Geelong locals currently interstate face lockdown, quarantine and uncertainty amid worsening COVID-19 outbreaks in New South Wales and Queensland. Aspiring singer-songwriter Ruby Shirreff was in Tamworth this week with her mother for the Junior Academy of Country Music. “It got cancelled last year due to COVID,” said the 18-year-old, who graduated Geelong’s Matthew Flinders Secondary College last year. “We got into Tamworth late last Friday night. Then we joined the bubble and we haven’t left

since. No one can have any contact with the outside world.” Ms Shirreff and her mother underwent precautionary COVID-19 testing before travelling as a requirement of the academy. But the Victorian government has declared regional New South Wales an orange zone, meaning they will have to get tested within 72 hours of arriving in Victoria and self-quarantine until they receive a negative test result. “We’re just taking it day-by-day at the moment,” Ms Shirreff said.

was on vacation with his young family in Noosa Heads in southeast Queensland, which is in a three-day lockdown due to end today. The area is a red zone, meaning Mr Saunders and his family would have to quarantine for 14 days after returning home if the lockdown does not end before their scheduled return on July 9. Brian Edward had to isolate in NSW for 14 days before crossing into Queensland with his caravan after leaving Geelong on May 27. Mr Edward and his wife are in Burleigh Heads, near the Gold Coast, to visit their daughter. “Another daughter and her son, who live in

Tasmania, have had to cancel their plans to fly up here,” the 81-year-old said. “This is the second time they’ve cancelled – we were meant to do it for my 80th birthday. So I still like to think of myself as 79.” Leopold retiree Ian Norton, 67, and wife Jenny, coincidentally camped next to Mr Edward, also travelled to visit a daughter in Burleigh Heads. Mr Norton had planned to join a reunion with old navy comrades on the trip. “It’s 50 years since I joined the navy as an apprentice fitter,” he said. “We put that off last year and now it’s been cancelled again.”

Locals jabs way ahead of state By Luke Voogt Geelong and Barwon region COVID-19 vaccinations are way ahead of the state average based on the latest population estimates. Vaccinations in the Barwon South West region reached 100,000 last Friday, at a rate about 52 per cent higher than the state average. According to a 2020 ABS estimate, the region has a population of 428,551, meaning 23,335 vaccine doses per 100,000 people. COVID-19 vaccinations statewide surpassed a million last Friday. But with Victoria’s

population at an estimated 6.68 million, this means a much lower vaccination rate of 15,080 doses per 100,000 people. Barwon South West Public Health Unit director Eugene Athan described the region’s 100,000th dose last Friday as an “impressive milestone”. Vaccination clinics in Geelong, Warrnambool, Camperdown, Colac, Timboon and Hamilton, along with general practitioners, had ensured regional communities had access to the program, he said. Professor Athan revealed the public health unit was now concentrating on second rather

than first doses at its mass vaccination hub in Norlane. “There has been a huge increase in the number of Victorians receiving their first dose of both AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines over the past few weeks,” he explained. “This means a large number of people across Victoria are now due for their second dose of both vaccines. “Because of this we are currently focusing on the delivery of second doses and pausing the availability of all first-dose Pfizer vaccinations at the community vaccination hub. “This does not affect walk-ins or bookings for

AstraZeneca. “We have AstraZeneca available for those needing their first dose and encourage everyone over the age of 60, who hasn’t yet received a vaccination, to come forward as soon as possible to receive a vaccination to protect themselves and their loved ones.” Associate nurse unit manager Alison Mazery was excited to be part of the team that administered the 100,000th dose. “Knowing that I’m doing my part to help protect our community really makes me proud,” she said.

Dogs barking mad for new park Groodle puppy Carter and labradooble Tommy are among “hundreds” of pooches going barking mad for a new enclosed dog park in Belmont. “They absolutely love it,” their human companion Sarah Thomas said. The Highton mother-of-three was at the park with her children and fur babies on Monday, and has visited three times a week since it opened on June 5. “Today’s the quietest I’ve seen it,” she said. “Most times it’s absolutely packed – there are 50 dogs in there, if not more.”

Initially, the park was “lovely and green”, Sarah said. “It’s definitely getting muddy at the moment, so I’m not sure what they’re going to do about that, but there were some people doing maintenance today. “It’s a massive hit because the amount of people that want to come is huge. It shows a massive demand for these sorts of facilities.” Sarah said the park had been fantastic for socialising and exercising her dogs. “Placid and laidback” puppy Carter had enjoyed snuggling up to people, she said. “Every single person, he goes up to them for cuddles.”

His older adopted brother Tommy, on the other hand, preferred meeting canine companions. “He will just go mental in there and run around like crazy,” Sarah said. State government provided $225,000 for the dog park, with Geelong council contributing another $15,000. “It’s no surprise to see this facility become a community favourite straight off the bat, with hundreds of greater Geelong residents visiting … each week since it opened,” Kardinia ward councillor Ron Nelson said.

A 17-year-old boy faces driving and assault charges after allegedly hitting a 46-year-old Corio woman on a mobility scooter while driving a stolen car. Emergency services rushed to Shepherdson Road, Corio, about 5.10pm on Tuesday following reports a car had lost control and struck a woman on a mobility scooter. A 17-year-old boy from Corio was arrested a short distance away, police said. An Ambulance Victoria helicopter flew the woman to Royal Melbourne Hospital in a critical condition. Yesterday afternoon she remained in “serious” condition, a Royal Melbourne Hospital spokesperson said. The boy was charged with a number of offences including negligently causing serious injury and dangerous driving causing serious injury and was remanded to face a children’s court at a later date. In a separate incident, another 17-year-old Corio boy who allegedly sped at 200km/h along the Princes Freeway on Tuesday night faces multiple charges including assaulting an emergency worker and reckless conduct endangering serious injury. Police also arrested a 15-year-old Corio girl. Detectives alleged the 17-year-old boy was involved in a series of aggravated burglaries in Corio, Grovedale and Drumcondra in which three vehicles were stolen. He was remanded to face a children’s court at a later date. Police charged the 15-year-old girl with one count of motor vehicle theft and she was bailed to face a children’s court a later date.

Corangamite retains name

GROUP EDITOR \ LISA KORYCKI lisa.korycki@starweekly.com.au

The seat of Corangamite will retain its name after the Australian Electoral Commission previously announced plans to rename the electorate ‘Tucker’ in honour of Aboriginal activist Margaret Tucker. The word Corangamite is derived from the Indigenous word for bitter in language of the Gulidjan people, who are native to the electorate.

Motorists will get an hour of free parking in two-hour (2P) zones beginning next Monday, which Geelong deputy mayor Trent Sullivan says will increase retail spending. “Data shows that the typical length of stay in a 2P park is 58 minutes,” he said. “So this initiative has been introduced to help extend the time of these visits and provide more opportunity for spending. This is an innovative solution that benefits both the businesses and visitors to central Geelong.” The initiative, costing $2.1 million in 2021-22, replaces a council trial offering free parking for the first 30 minutes in 2P zones. Brownbill ward councillor Eddy Kontelj described the “compromise” as a “huge step forward” following his long-term campaign for

free two-hour parking. His campaign clashed with a council officer report in March finding his proposal had “no tangible or intangible benefits” for the wider community. “Is [this new initiative] ideal, no, I’d love free two-hour parking at all times – that’s what I was fighting for,” Cr Kontelj said. But he said the compromise would still deliver a “much-needed boost” for CBD businesses, after an “incredibly tough” 2020, by drawing people into the city and encouraging them to stay longer. The additional hour is provided to the vehicle, rather than to a fixed parking bay, meaning motorists can switch to another park during the two hours.

Road upgrade en route The third and final stage of an $11.5 million road upgrade at Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus is nearing completion, according to South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman. The upgrade, extending Epworth Place in the Geelong Future Economy Precinct, is due for completion by September.

Xavier shows heart in fundraiser Bannockburn nine-year-old Xavier Simpson refuses to let a rare syndrome stop him from “doing his thing” raising thousands of dollars in Jump Rope for Heart. The determined youngster has skipped for almost six hours so far, raising $1584 for the annual Heart Foundation fundraiser, on top of $700 in his first attempt in 2019. “I can raise money for people like me and have lots of fun,” he said. Xavier was born premature and developed groin hernias at three months old and again at six months. “A few years later, when they were putting the bits and pieces together, they figured out he had Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS),” said mother Alicia Simpson. The rare inherited condition, which Xavier has had since birth, affects the body’s connective tissues, which are responsible for supporting skin, blood vessels, bones and organs. Some people with EDS, including Xavier, also have heart defects. In 2019, specialists discovered a defect preventing his aortic valve from properly controlling the flow of oxygen-rich blood to his body. This means Xavier is prone to fatigue and breathlessness. “School announced they were doing [Jump Rope for Heart] about a week after he got diagnosed with his heart defect,” Alicia said. “It was actually a good way for us to sit down and talk to him about it.” Xavier took up the challenge and was the highest individual fundraiser at his school, Bannockburn P-12 College. “He’s particularly motivated and excited by Jump Rope for Heart, which he sees as his thing because he has a heart condition,” Alicia said.

And he has no plans to stop, despite the possibility he might need surgery to repair the valve when he is older. “I would say I’d never stop,” he said. “It makes me feel proud and confident.” Xavier’s six-year-old brother Harrison has joined him in Jump Rope for Heart, and both Alicia and his dad Brenton skipped in the program when they were in primary school. “I never imagined that I’d have such a personal connection to the program all these years later,” Alicia said. “It’s amazing that something I did as a child, and that so many other Australian kids have done, is funding research that could help my own son.” But Alicia’s skills have diminished a bit, as she managed just 12 skips in a row on Monday morning, compared to Xavier’s 28 and Harrison’s 21. “So mummy lost,” she laughed. “Skipping’s really hard when you haven’t done it for 20 or so years.” Xavier cannot play contact sport due to a high risk of organ rupture but loves competing in tennis and athletics. “I wouldn’t be able to pick [my favourite] because they’re all fun,” he said. He even ran a 300-metre sprint at school with “nanny” and “poppy” stationed on the course to look out for him. He came fifth before collapsing into his dad’s arms. “There was no way he was going to sit out any of the activities,” Alicia said. “In the meantime, he’s being monitored closely by his doctors. Despite his health challenges, he’s a very positive and determined little boy.” Bannockburn P-12 College students had skipped 136 hours and raised $8840 in total as of this Monday.

Fish hotels to boost local species By Luke Voogt ‘Fish hotels’ for native species will “breathe new life into the Barwon River” for anglers, according to Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CMA). The authority plans to install timber snags beneath the surface of the river to create extra fish habitats near Gundog Lane, Breakwater. Known as fish hotels, these structures will boost the numbers of native species such as black bream and estuary perch, much to the delight of local anglers, according to

Corangamite CMA. The authority will install the snags, along with similar structures at Curdies Estuary, in partnership with OzFish Unlimited and VRFish following federal government funding for the project. “By restoring fish habitat, there will be an immense long-term benefit to recreational fishers through healthy, resilient and more productive fish stocks,” project officer Wayne McLaren said. “We are excited to work with OzFish and their army of recreational fishing volunteers to deliver these projects that will provide

significant benefits for the Barwon River and Curdies Estuary.” The new fish hotels will also provide habitat for the threatened Australian grayling and other aquatic wildlife, including frogs, platypuses, water rats, insects and birds. Corangamite CMA chief executive John Riddiford said the project would improve the health of the waterways and provide essential ecological benefits. “Healthy habitat is vital to making fishing better and providing anglers with more fishing opportunities,” he said.

Geelong club state best Geelong Swimming Club is Swimming Victoria’s Club of the Year for 2020-21. The 139-year-old club received the honour at the Swimming Victoria Awards at Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre on Saturday, after increasing its membership base by 78 per cent in 2020 despite COVID-19. “We are honoured to have received this award, which recognises the vision and dedication of our amazing committee and coaches, particularly through the challenges of COVID,” club president Glenn Benson said. The club offered reduced fees when Kardinia Aquatic Centre closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, and head coach Sam Ashby and his team continued to work with athletes five days a week via online conferencing. Geelong council decided to open the pool last winter, its usual off-season, to allow swim training to resume as soon as possible. Council has since funded the year-round

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.”

Non-finalised pleas at Geelong County Court have remained level on 26 between January 27, 2020 and January 27, 2021, with 80 pleas finalised between those dates. The Productivity Commission’s Report on Government Services (Justice) shows that pending criminal matters in the Magistrates Court of Victoria have increased by 82 per cent from 2014-15 to 2019-20. The Magistrates Court of Victoria did not provide caseload statistics on Geelong Magistrates Court in response to the Independent’s inquiries earlier this week. Attorney General Jaclyn Symes was contacted for comment.

opening of the centre, the club’s home pool since 1970, via its 2021-22 budget. “We’re fortunate to have access to high-quality facilities, and the year-round opening of Kardinia Aquatic Centre has been particularly beneficial for our athletes,” Benson said. “We’re also very thankful to the council for its ongoing support.” Geelong Swimming Club athletes went on to achieve outstanding success at the Australian Age and Open Championships this April. Among the top swimmers were Hayley Mackinder, who broke the record for the 13-year-old age group in the 100-metre breaststroke before winning gold, and Dylan Logan, who won gold in the Multiclass 17-18-years 100-metre backstroke. The 18-member team was the club’s largest ever contingent for the championships.

Union action in tug crew dispute By Luke Voogt The replacement of Geelong tug crews with ‘fly-in fly-out’ workers has prompted union threats to halt national pay negotiations. On Monday the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) and maritime workers protested Svitzer, Australia’s largest tow services operator, engaging Strategic Workforce Solutions to replace 18 employees who lost their jobs at the Port of Geelong. “Svitzer Australia tossed 18 local workers on the scrap heap just before Christmas, telling them they were abandoning the Port of

Geelong,” MUA Victorian secretary David Ball said. “Just six months later, we discovered that the company plans to restart operations using fly-in fly-out labour hire workers rather than providing jobs to the local community. “This multinational company … wants to profit from providing towage services at our port, but not provide any jobs or economic benefits to our local community.” Svitzer paid out $4.13 million in redundancy packages to 17 full-time employees, according to the company, and Mr Ball admitted some of the workers had been happy to move on.

The MUA is currently negotiating a national enterprise agreement (EA) with Svitzer. “We won’t be ticking off on the national EA without Geelong being fixed,” Mr Ball said. Svitzer ceased direct provision of towage services at the Port of Geelong in December 2020, after suffering “significant financial losses” at the location. According to Svitzer, the company committed to maintaining salaries but needed to make “reasonable changes” to conditions. A company spokesperson confirmed Svitzer had entered into an arrangement at the Port of Geelong with Strategic Workforce Solutions.

Mini rail gathers steam A miniature train proposal for Corio is gathering steam with almost 600 people signing a petition for the plans, according to campaigners. They took their proposal, compete with a miniature locomotive, to Corio Village shopping centre this week gathering 490 signatures as of yesterday morning. Another 101 people have signed their online petition for a miniature railway at Sutcliffe Reserve in Corio. “It’s certainly a starting point and once more people know about it, it will start moving along,” Corio Norlane Lions Club secretary Richard Walter said. Plenty of curious kids came up to the club’s display at the shopping centre to check out the mini train and the plans, Mr Walter said. “They say, ‘when’s this going to be?’ or ‘where’s this going to be?’” The club has begun discussions with

councillors Eddy Kontelj, Anthony Aitken, Peter Murrihy and Kylie Grzybek on the proposal, and plans to hold a strategy meeting tomorrow, Mr Walter said. According to the club, council knocked back the proposal twice citing a lack of available land. But the Lions and Geelong Miniature Railway believe the proposal could help young people learn skills and build connections, along with reducing youth crime and improving mental health. “Being so close to the Geelong Ring Road, we see it as a fantastic tourist opportunity that will [attract] many families and railway enthusiasts,” Mr Walter said. “Over time we envision our proposed railway will become a significant tourism asset for Geelong and the surrounding communities.” Luke Voogt

Avalon loses quarantine bid By Luke Voogt Avalon Airport has lost its bid to host Victoria’s quarantine facility after the commonwealth chose Mickleham, state government’s preferred option, instead. Prime Minister Scott Morrison last week wrote to acting premier James Merlino outlining his government’s commitment to opening the facility at the Mickleham site late this year. “I am also advising of our intention to build a facility with an initial 1000 bed capacity, but opening when the first 500 beds are available to enable earlier opening,” Mr Morrison said. “I have asked my officials to prioritise this project and I want to see that all efforts are made to deliver the first stages of the facility by the end of 2021.” The $200 million facility will in part replace Victoria’s hotel quarantine scheme – the origin of several COVID-19 outbreaks throughout the

pandemic. The facility will increase the number of Australians that can return to Victoria from overseas, along with international students and skilled migrants seeking to work and study there, according to Mr Morrison. “Both the purpose-built facility and hotel quarantine will be managed to maximise the number of arrivals that can be quarantined within the agreed capacity cap,” he said. The confirmation of the Mickleham site, owned by the Commonwealth Department of Finance, comes after state and federal governments on June 4 signed a memorandum of understanding to build a quarantine facility. At the time, the acting premier said Mickleham was the estate government’s “preferred option” but that the site near Avalon Airport “would work equally as well”. Authorities inspected both locations, finding Avalon Airport had protected wetlands and a lack of sewerage that would have added too much time to construction.w

Good things are brewing An initiative to provide safe and supportive employment for people living with severe and complex mental health issues is taking off on the Bellarine Peninsula. The WHOLE Bean Project is the brainchild of Clifton Springs residents Dr Christopher Groot and Darren Cullinane who also operate Bellarine Coffee Roasters. Chris and Darren are in the first stage of their project, roasting coffee, and are open for retail sales online and wholesale supply to Bellarine cafes and restaurants. They are also passionate about employing local people with mental health issues. Other than employment, the project aims to reduce stigma through online and ‘on-the-ground’ initiatives through Bellarine Coffee Roasters and to support stigma reduction research and mental health initiatives. Much of Chris’ work as an academic psychologist at University of Melbourne is focused on research about severe and complex mental illnesses and stigma. In 2019-20, he led the research for the National Stigma Report Card. In this study, he investigated the experiences of stigma and discrimination of 1912 people across Australia who live with severe and complex conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar, personality disorders and more. “We discovered that they were affected by stigma and discrimination about their

mental health problems both frequently and pervasively across numerous areas of life,” Chris said. “Some problem key areas were relationships, community participation and employment. The experience of analysing and publishing the results was so profound – reading nearly 2000 stories of undeserved marginalisation is really quite a transformative experience. “I simply felt compelled to do more to address the issue, and meaningful change at a local level seemed like a good place to start.” Chris and Darren need to sell coffee to grow the business and employ more people. “Once we build capacity through more sales in the coming months, our aim is to secure a Bellarine location that is open to the public,” Chris said. “Now that we have commenced online coffee sales, we are in the process of recruiting our next local employee. “Every bag of coffee sold increases our capacity to employ more people living with mental health problems that may otherwise preclude them from employment opportunities.” Chris and Darren are keen to hear from Bellarine businesses interested in co-locating or who might have space for a coffee roastery.

COVID worsens disadvantage By Luke Voogt COVID-19 has “amplified” disadvantage in Whittington, Corio, Norlane and North Shore, according to a new Deakin University report. The Strategies for Alleviating Locational Disadvantage in Geelong report found the pandemic “compounded many entrenched issues” such as high unemployment, homelessness and financial stress. This led to “social isolation, barriers to remote learning and poorer health outcomes”, the report said. The suburbs are home to about 27,400

residents, with most born in Australia but many also hailing from countries including England, Croatia, Afghanistan and Myanmar. Geelong council noted the report identified “opportunities to further tackle disadvantage” in these suburbs. The report makes the following recommendations: • Address priority areas such as housing stress, Indigenous health and wellbeing, mental health, domestic violence and place-based stigma; • Respect, trust and listen to residents while

working with them; • Explore options to work with employment organisations and programs such as the Regional Industry Sector Employment Program (RISE), and extend Northern Futures to Whittington; • Ensure domestic violence and mental health programs are active in these suburbs; and • Identify and address gaps in social infrastructure such as neighbourhood houses, sporting facilities and parks. The report details how locals of these suburbs believe the ways in which new initiatives are

approached can be more important than the programs themselves. Council plans to hold workshops and engagement sessions to refine the recommendations and develop an action plan for the next financial year. “This report gives us the evidence and a voice to continue our campaign to advocate for these community members and restore their hope,” Windermere ward councillor Anthony Aitken said. “We want to be a council that doesn’t leave people behind and I look forward to the action plan that will be developed.”

Musician joins youth award winners Mink Cummins, AKA Mink Mila, has her high school music teacher to thank for inspiring her musical journey, along with her most recent award. “Mum said I used to run around in tutus singing, but I was never much of a musician as a kid,” the 17-year-old remembered. That changed when she took up music as an elective at Surf Coast Secondary College. “My music teacher Evan Jones – a really modest and kind guy, and great teacher – asked me to sing a song,” Mink said. “After that he was like, ‘we’re going to make a musician out

of you’.” His connections also helped Mink get some gigs, after a few years learning guitar, and she has since performed at Torquay Cowrie and Farmers markets, Nightjar and the Aireys Inlet and Queenscliff music festivals. “I used to be super shy and I’d never tell people when I had gigs on,” Mink said. “Now I’m coming more out of my shell and asking friends to come along. I had my first all-original gig last weekend, which was really fun.” She has also performed at venues across Melbourne and Ballarat, and has planned and

run of gigs for adolescents on the Surf Coast as part of the state-wide FReeZA program. She was shocked but thrilled last Saturday to win the Surf Coast Youth Award for arts. Lorne SES volunteer James Staley, LGBTI+ advocate Jax Wake and Geelong Landcare Newtork board member Tim Harte shared the community award, while courageous surfer Mia Huppatz won the sport category. The Surf Coast Environmental Action Team won the environment award.

Post-surgery complications from a chronic bowel disease will prevent Bellarine MP Lisa Neville from returning to work for at least a month longer than initially expected. Ms Neville has battled a severe flare-up of Crohns disease since 2020, which led to her being hospitalised this February. “[Since then] there have been various complications in my treatment,” she said last Friday. “Based on advice from my doctors I am not physically able to return to work at the end of June, as originally planned. “This additional delay has been personally very disappointing to me, but my doctors have a plan and I anticipate that, all going well, I will be able to return at some point in August – subject to medical advice. You have to be able to give [the job] your all. As frustrating as it is, I am just not at that point yet.” Ms Neville underwent two surgeries in April after taking an absence of leave from her roles as police, emergency services and water minister. She spent four weeks in hospital, including one week in intensive care following the first surgery on April 6. She also underwent surgery on April 15, and after she returned home she was admitted to hospital for another week in late May. Ms Neville thanked her “amazing” surgeon and gastroenterologist, and other staff at St John of God Hospital, along with those who had reached out to her, particularly Crohns sufferers. “It is clear we need to do more to talk about this silent and often invisible disease – and I intend to help in this regard once I am recovered from this latest episode,” she said.

Helping future generations hear At just 10 months old “cheeky” Curlewis bub and peek-a-boo enthusiast Sophie is giving future children born with hearing loss a better chance at speaking. Mum Yasmin King speaks to Luke Voogt about Sophie’s diagnosis during Victoria’s second wave of COVID-19 and her participation in new ground-breaking research.

asmin King had just been through almost 14 hours of labour, while wearing a mask, and another two-and-a-half of surgery when her husband discovered something wrong with their newborn daughter’s ear. Sophie was born at 10.15pm on August 24 after staff put Yasmin into induced labour that morning at 6.30am. Shortly after, Yasmin had to undergo surgery, ending about 1am, to remove half of the placenta, which was stuck, to prevent infection. When her husband Dahmon held their newborn girl for the first time, he noticed her left ear looked strange. “He just said, ‘there’s something wrong with her ear and there’s something wrong with her face’,” the 32-year-old said. She remembered being overwhelmed and anxious about her daughter’s condition, as Victoria’s second COVID-19 wave ravaged the world outside of University Hospital Geelong.

her the best chance to learn to speak. We’ve learnt how important those early years are. “If she doesn’t have that hearing, then she’s not able to develop speech and language, which is so important.” But fine-tuning a hearing aid for a baby is very difficult. “She’s not old enough yet to tell us what she can hear and how well she can hear it,” Yasmin explained. Last December Yasmin received an email from The Bionics Institute about research and testing for a clinical device called EarGenie. The device uses near-infrared light to monitor how a baby’s brain is responding to sounds. Yasmin signed up for the research and is booked to take Sophie in for testing next Tuesday. “This research will give us more answers to

help her – because we want to give her the best chance at a hearing life,” she said. But just as importantly to Yasmin, the study will help researchers improve the first prototype and test software needed to introduce EarGenie into audiology clinics. This will help improve the device to help other infants with hearing loss, or using cochlear implants or hearing aids, in future. “The main reason I contacted them to take part was that I want to help future parents,” Yasmin said. “I’m really looking forward to the experience. We’re just really excited to take part so future families have the best chance of helping their children. “It’s a pretty stressful time when you get told that your child can’t hear and you’re dealing with the unknown. “We’re just using this opportunity to spread

awareness of her disability – I had never heard of microtia before her diagnosis. “Now we’ve got this opportunity to help other families and encourage them to participate.” Yasmin believes Sophie, who is hitting her developmental milestones and playing peek-a-boo every chance she gets, will one day be grateful for her parents signing her up. “She’s very content, very happy, cheeky and just really loves to be around her big brother,” she said. “She’s really lucky that she was able to possibly make a difference in how children are diagnosed and perhaps make their life a bit easier. I think she should be really proud.” The Bionics Institute is looking for babies with both normal hearing and hearing loss to trial the new device.

“There were just so many questions and so much uncertainty,” she said. The following morning Dahmon went home to look after their son Oliver, while Yasmin stayed at hospital as her daughter underwent a precautionary MRI scan to check for abnormalities. “Watching your little newborn baby go into this huge machine is quite scary,” she said. “There was a sense of relief that there was nothing wrong with her brain [following the MRI] but we were still in the unknown bubble.” A day later, Sophie was diagnosed with a grade 3 microtia, a congenital abnormality in which the external part of an ear is underdeveloped or malformed. “She has severe hearing loss in that ear, because it has no canal,” Yasmin said. “Her inner ear is fine but she doesn’t have that opening for sound to travel into. The sound can’t pass from the outer and middle ear to her inner ear. “We were asking, ‘what do we do about it and what does this mean for her life?’” She also has facial palsy, which causes her to have a droopy lip and not blink her left eye, meaning Yasmin has to apply an eye gel a few times a day. Sophie wears a bone-anchored hearing aid, which vibrates sound into her inner ear. “When she’s got her hearing aid, she’s got two normal ears,” Yasmin said. “She must wear it every waking hour to give

GEELONG BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AWARDS

Advertising feature

How sweet it is… Katie Gallop, founder of Sugar Images, is an old hand at completing applications for the Geelong Business Excellence Awards, with her first entry in 2014, two years after launching her business. Sugar Images won its first GBEA in 2015, in the home-based business category, when Katie was operating out of her photographic studio at her home. The vibrant business went on to be named as a finalist for the following five years – and was the very first entrant in this year’s awards. A few things have changed since Katie, mum of four, started out. For starters, Sugar Images has moved into a double-storey studio on Malop Street, the premises requiring a complete transformation from an old milk bar into the stylish studio it is today. The move happened during COVID-19 lockdown, with Katie and her teenage son doing all the renovations themselves since restrictions prevented tradie help. It was a lot of hard work but the results were well worth the effort, with a beautiful studio emerging, full of natural light and decked out in a classic monochrome palette and wooden flooring – the perfect backdrop for taking amazing photos of babies and families, Sugar Images’ specialty genre. In fact, the studio has won the Australian Studio Design of the Year. The business has also grown, team-wise. Narelle, Stacy and Katie M. work with Katie and, soon, another team member will be on board. The talented photographers do their work either in the studio, at the hospital, on location, or in clients’ own homes – and each is fully vaccinated and has special training in calming and soothing babies and young children. Aligning with the opinion of all past GBEA entrants, Katie says the application process

is invaluable, describing it as “business first-aid” where everything is assessed and compared, and valued as “motivation to keep on improving”. Katie watched the virtual 2020 GBEAs at home, in the company of Jess from Crew Faced Makeup Artistry, also a 2020 finalist. She says

it was great to watch the event, praising the Chamber of Commerce for its efforts. But she’s looking forward to “getting dressed up, with makeup and hair done” and attending a live event this year, describing it as a wonderful opportunity to catch up with other Geelong business owners and collaborators.

A keen supporter of the awards, Katie also loves being an example to her children of what can be achieved with “lots of passion and hard work”. Entries close at 4pm on July 16 – go to www.gbea.com.au

And if we aren’t one of those folks who are planning on moving to the regions in the next 12 months, we watch shows such as Escape from the City like it is a national sport. Now, we can add this new six-part series, premiering tonight, to the watchlist. Hosts Craig Quartermaine, Kristy O’Brien (above) and Halina Baczkowski travel to a region to learn three stories about creating a successful life in the country. Tonight, Quartermaine visits Orana, NSW, and meets two lawyers who left the city to run a national legal enterprise – and invent a new species of cow.

CASABLANCA SEVEN/PRIME7, 2pm

Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Rick’s Café, “Of all the gin joints …”, Nazis, visas, a singer named Sam. Apparently, all these things add up to the best film of all time. They might be right. In a nutshell, Rick (Bogart) is a jaded nightclub owner in Casablanca, a town that plays host to various World War II refugees looking for a better life in the US. He discovers an old flame (Bergman) is in town with her new resistance leader husband, both on the run from the Nazis. Outstanding cinema from the classic era of Hollywood when audiences were actually considered to be intelligent.

What could go wrong when five comedians compete in an off-the-wall game show? Well, as it turns out, nothing. Everything goes spectacularly, hilariously well in Taskmaster. A huge success in Britain, the panel show panel boasting some very batty banter has since spawned offshoots in Belgium, Sweden, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Finland and New Zealand. Hosted by Greg Davies (below) and Alex Horne, H it’s the sort of show that can make Monday a joyous affair. Tonight, Ton settle in for a rau raucous double episode. In “This Is Trevor”, T The Inbetweenerss star Joe Thomas gr grapples with awkward a hand hand-wear. The in Then, “Aquatic “Aq Sew Sewing M Machine”, co coffee p pots aaren’t his ffriend.

Greg Davies is the host of Taskmaster.

Care service that fills a need Beryl Hair enjoys making beanies for her close-knit family. And this winter she’s been knitting for the whole tribe – her two children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Beryl, 92, is also a member of the knitting group at the retirement village where she lives, regularly making socks, hats and gloves for homeless men, as well as squares which are then sewn into blankets for charity. “I love knitting, and it’s good to give back,” Beryl says. Beryl receives a home care package through Uniting AgeWell and gets help around the home with cleaning and gardening, regular visits from the podiatrist and physiotherapist, and has meals delivered three times a week. She is also a great fan of Uniting AgeWell Kalkee Murray Community. She’s stayed there a number of times for respite care after being discharged from hospital after falls. “The staff are very kind, they looked after me very well, I would have no hesitation in moving in there one day,” Beryl says. In between reading, going to church and spending time with the family, Beryl is very busy. But that’s how she likes it. Then there’s Jenny Mitchell, 77, who is also on a home care package through Uniting AgeWell, and gets help with cleaning the unit where she lives. Jenny, who has severe arthritis, has also used her package to buy an electric bed and chair to make life easier. “I love jigsaw puzzles, reading and spending time with my two daughters and three grandchildren – I’m very happy with Uniting AgeWell, the staff are very caring,” she says. Rebecca Smith, Home Care Director, North West Victoria & Tasmania says Uniting AgeWell has a multitude of services in Geelong

– clients on home care packages; in-home social support services and group outings; Costa Court Serviced Apartments and the Belmont-based Kalkee Independent Living Units at Spring and Francis streets, (with a few vacancies across the sites); and the residential care facilities of Uniting AgeWell Kalkee Murray and Nangatta Communities.

Rebecca says the “superb service and care” provided to home care package clients is what leads to so many word-of-mouth referrals, with business in the area growing. “Our locally-based direct care workers know the area and especially during COVID-19 lockdowns have established extra-close rapport with clients, who know how much we care …

whether it’s respite or palliative care at their homes, social support, transport… if there’s a need we try to meet it.” For more details on home care services in Geelong call (03) 5243 9566 or for residential care or independent living call 1300 783 435 or visit unitingagewell.org

Hear for the long haul Yesterday marked a major milestone for Geelong Hearing Aid Services when it celebrated 40 years of helping Geelong residents with hearing loss. Audiologist Ashlee Willis and her team are excited to mark the date, knowing they are a part of the history of a long-running business that maintains a firm belief that everyone deserves access to support and advice from hearing professionals. “To celebrate our 40th birthday, we are offering great deals for the whole month of July. Come in and meet the team to see how we can help you,” Ashlee says.

In the beginning Ian Young founded the company as Qualtone on July 1, 1981, launching as an independent hearing provider in Mitcham. Twelve years later, Ian established Geelong Hearing Aid Services, continuing the journey by assisting the community of Greater Geelong with empathy and a passion for hearing awareness and rehabilitation. In 2005, the company moved to its current location in Belmont and, since 2011, has been visiting Leopold to provide quality hearing care. And, as Ashlee says, “The passion for hearing awareness and rehabilitation has never dimmed.”

Celebrating independence “The most important aspect of Geelong Hearing Aid Services is that we have been – and always will be – an independent company. “It means that the service we provide and hearing aid brands we carry are not attached to corporate obligation. We can offer our clients a wider range of hearing aids and more choice in their journey.

“After all, there’s no one cookie-cutter approach to hearing loss. People deserve choice and genuine personalisation of care and that’s what we’re about.”

Hearing care in the time of COVID-19 Physical distancing measures and face masks put extra strain on those with hearing loss due to the muffling of our voices and not being able to lip read to help understand. “It’s more important than ever to wear an

effective hearing aid at this time to avoid disconnection and avoidance of social settings which negatively impacts quality of life. “It’s essential to note the huge toll hearing loss can have on health and wellbeing, but did you know that only one in five people who could benefit from wearing hearing aids actually uses them? Visiting our clinic can change that statistic, so we encourage anyone with hearing issues not to delay in making a life-changing decision.”

No more ‘big and bulky’ “There are so many options available when it comes to hearing aids. The days of big and bulky are over, with more than one style and size to suit everybody. “Our clients are often amazed with what’s on the market today, with some hearing aids virtually invisible. We have a large range of brands, including all the major ones, and at prices that suit all budgets. “Hearing aids can and will change life for the

better.” Ashlee adds that now’s the time to help improve hearing issues – and simultaneously support independent local businesses. “Come and have a chat about what we can do to help.” Geelong Hearing Aid Services, 96 High Street, Belmont.

Upwardly mobile Mark Dillon, director of Scooters and Mobility, is thrilled to announce they’re going “pop-up” at Corio Village Shopping Centre from Monday, July 12. He says the high demand from customers in Corio, Norlane and Lara has prompted the venture. “We’ve taken the opportunity to expand our retail footprint by opening our pop-up shop, which will make it so convenient for our many customers,” Mark says. “We invite people to come in and see us at Shop G064 – at the Woolies end of the shopping centre.” The store we will have a huge range of scooters, lift chairs, powerchairs, walkers, walking sticks, shower chairs, shower stools, commodes and wheelchairs, batteries, tyres, tubes and all accessories to view and purchase. “If you’re interested in upgrading your current mobility scooter, we offer a minimum of $400 trade-in on any used scooter – any condition, working or not. This is by far the best offer in Geelong!

“No matter what happens with COVID-19, we will always remain open, fully compliant with the protocols of the time and be ready to assist everyone with their mobility and home healthcare needs. “We know our clients need to be able to get to and from doctors, chemists, vaccination centres, testing stations, work and supermarkets. We are able to keep them moving and on the go. “And don’t forget that we can also come to you, anywhere, anytime - fully sanitised and using the required PPE.

At Tannoch Brae Aged Care in St Albans Park, it’s the sense of home and family that residents and staff hold in the highest regard, according to Bernadette Kolotelo. The home’s nurse for more than 22 years, Bernadette – or Bernie as she’s known – knows this better than most, with her mum a former resident and her dad still at Tannoch Brae at the age of 97. “Mum was at Tannoch Brae for eight years, and dad is coming up to 13 years,” Bernie says. “We placed our parents at Tannoch Brae because both my sister and I worked in the home, along with many other long-serving staff, and we just knew the care would be what we wanted for them. “I love my job because of the family atmosphere our home brings. Tannoch Brae is an intimate 50-bed home which means as a nurse I get to know our residents and families on a personal level – a real privilege. “It really is a second home to me. Every day when I walk in the door I say, ‘Welcome to paradise’ and, when I walk out at the end of the day, I know I have given my all and my dad will be well looked after.” The sense of care is also felt by residents, such as Shirley, 85, who says: “I’ve been here for 14 years and I’ve always been looked after well. I enjoy the company and have made a lot of friends and feel lots of love.” Norma, 90, has a similar view. “My husband was here first and then I came to live here. We’ve both been well looked after. He’s passed away now,” Norma says. “The staff are always lovely and I feel free. I can walk around wherever I want and feel safe.” General manager Hayley Marston says, “It’s always the people that make a home but the recent refurbishments have made it all the more welcoming.”

The Convent in Daylesford is a beautiful place to share experiences with friends. (Pictures; Supplied)

A seniors’ experience like no other… spinach and Meredith feta tart with salad, a hearty bowl of soup with garlic bread, and raspberry tea cake with double cream – among other delicious treats. After lunch, you get taken on a 30-45-minute tour as part of the deal, where a feast of the senses awaits. The hectares of gardens surrounding The Convent – part of the local Botanic Gardens – are a joy to explore, with eye-catching sculptures to discover and bounteous nature that’s taken root in volcanic soil.

Then perhaps head to the beautiful, virtually untouched Chapel built in 1904, and onwards to the magnificent award-winning Convent Gallery that presents works from local, national and international artists offering a truly diverse collection in eight different spaces.

YOUR SAY Parking ‘road blocks’

Tip fee concern

I find it difficult to believe that council allows people to park cars, kerbside, only 10 metres (30-odd feet) from an uncontrolled intersection (no traffic lights). Particularly busy ones. Cars parked so close to an intersection act effectively as a form of “road block” making driving, overall, far more hazardous.. Interferes with the free flow of traffic with all the problems this can cause. It makes common sense to review this policy, as a matter of urgency. Requiring vehicles to be parked 20 metres plus from such an intersection would seem far more reasonable, as is currently the case at controlled intersections.

Your report ‘State levies push tip fees up’ (Independent June 25) is cause for concern. The intentions may be well founded but the reality is the increase in clean fill tipping costs will see a different outcome in the Northern Bellarine. Travelling the roads between communities one sees that clean fill has been dumped on farming properties. The increase in clean fill waste fees is bound to lead to an increase of this practice.

There will be no goals of zero transmissions. Quarantine will be dumped for travellers and close contact of cases will not have to isolate. It also plans to no longer announce daily case numbers. Instead of dwelling on daily case numbers it will focus on testing, treatments and recovery rates, which is a better approach. Senior Singaporean ministers have said it is the “new normal” of living with COVID-19. They recognise that the virus may never go away but believe it’s possible to live normally with the virus in their community despite the virus continuing to mutate. With new, better vaccines like Novovax coming on stream and with Ivermection, which is cheap and readily available, the spread of the virus can be contained. Those countries such as South Africa, Turkey Michael J Gamble and the UAE which have used Ivermection and Belmont HCQ, under medical supervision, have seen up to a 70 per cent reduction in coronavirus mortality.

A different course out of COVID

Alan Barron Grovedale

Given that Australia keeps experiencing ongoing breakouts of coronavirus infections and that, at some stage, we are going to have to open our borders to international travel and overseas students, then a new and better way of controlling the virus has to be found. So far Australia has had 30,553 infections and 910 deaths. Compare this with Singapore, which has had 62,553 cases and only 36 deaths. Singapore has come up with a better way of handling COVID-19 virus which prevents lockdowns and other severe measures. No quarantine, no tests and no daily numbers – Singapore is taking a different course out of the pandemic. Singapore has been one of the world’s most successful at combating COVID-19 and has announced it will soon fundamentally change how it manages the pandemic. Singapore has stated the virus will be treated like other endemic diseases such as flu.

Where’s the fruit salad? I was extremely disappointed to learn that The Wiggles are now advertising Uber Eats. Firstly, these wealthy millionaires are promoting work practices that underpay workers, offer no job security and cause delivery drivers to ride in extremely dangerous conditions. Secondly, many Uber Eats foods are of the junk food variety and not healthy for young children. The Wiggles are badly letting down the very children and families who have given them their wealth and success. Robert Van Zetten Highton

Kevin Carey St Leonards

Protect Bellarine now In reference to ‘Vision “fail” on trucks and buses’ (Independent, June 25, 2021). Residents of the Bellarine are acutely aware that our beautiful peninsula is becoming more and more bottlenecked and that Geelong CBD is more and more clogged with traffic. This is because, in order to drive in or out of the Bellarine, all vehicles have to pass through one of only two bottlenecks – Geelong City or Barwon Heads. With no fast and frequent public transport system, each new home on the Bellarine creates 10 new traffic movements and two of these are likely to pass through Geelong CBD each day. Thus, if 1000 new homes are created on the Bellarine, there is likely to be 1000 additional vehicles passing through an already congested Geelong during peak am and 1000 during peak pm. Extending the Geelong Ring Road to Moolap will not solve the problem. The bottlenecks will still exist. Also, as it will not be constructed as a freeway, it will not provide a faster route to Melbourne around the Geelong CBD. There will be at-grade intersections on the Portarlington Road, Queenscliff Road, Barwon Heads Road, Torquay Road, along Baanip Boulevard and Anglesea Road.

This will not only cause delays to both streams of traffic at each location but also create vehicle-to-vehicle conflict points. I request that the City of Greater Geelong abandon this smaller-lot-size “commuter town” development policy, especially now that the Bellarine has been declared a Distinctive Area and Landscape. All this traffic congestion is not good for Geelong or the distinctive attributes of the Bellarine. Public consultation on the draft Bellarine Peninsula Statement of Planning Policy is now open This is an abbreviated quote from this document: “The Bellarine Peninsula declared area is among Victoria’s most-preferred places to live, work, visit and recreate. Consequently, its unique values and distinctive attributes need protection against overuse, overdevelopment and climate change impacts. “The effects of these pressures on the declared area’s unique values and distinctive attributes in the past decade have fuelled community concerns about the need to protect and conserve our coastal environments, hinterland areas, township characters, local services and infrastructure.” I urge readers of the Independent to have their say on the very important document.

ENTERTAINMENT

Indigenous celebration returns By Luke Voogt Kurnai and Wotjobaluk man Norm Stanley is proud to continue a tradition that “two fellas sat down 13 years ago and decided to create” – Reconciliation in the Park. One of those founders, the late Uncle David Tournier, was a mentor of Stanley’s since he was 11 and played “a huge part” in his life. “You can kind of get, through that, the depth of meaning for us to be able to carry it on,” the 43-year-old from Norlane said. Stanley will play didgeridoo throughout the day when the free event returns on July 11, after being postponed due to recent COVID-19 lockdowns. Stanley’s Indigenous heritage stems from western Victoria and Gippsland, although he was born and raised on Wadawurrung land here in Geelong. “My mum was actually a member of the stolen generation and she was placed in a home on the Barwon River, Kardinia Children’s Home, as a child,” he said. “It was the third home that she had been placed in with her sisters. She was nine-years-old. When she left the home she chose Geelong as a place to stay. “She certainly told us many stories, good and bad, of growing up in a children’s home.” Now living in Toowoomba, his mum shared his ancestral connections with him as he grew up. “She’s grateful that she was able to stay in contact with our family and give us a direct connection to our family line,” Stanley said. As a child he discovered a natural inclination towards the musical part of that heritage when he tried playing a makeshift didgeridoo. “I found what I thought was the next closest thing, a plastic vacuum cleaner pipe that my mum had,” he said. “I got a real one my next birthday and spent the rest of that time working on it and learning from others, and creating my own unique style. “The hardest part is all about your breathing.

Norm Stanley during NAIDOC Week in 2017. (Rebecca Hosking) 170288_06

Certainly, you need to have some rhythm and beat to be able to control it, but your breathing is the most important aspect of playing the didgeridoo.” Stanley will play solo and with other performers in the event at Johnstone Park from 10am to 3pm next Sunday. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for those that would like to learn more about our

Aboriginal culture to come along and enjoy a family-friendly day,” Stanley said. “It’s about having the wider community come along and join in with us to celebrate our beautiful culture.” The event features a Welcome to Country, local dancers and performers, dilly bag making, kids activities, native food plants, a free barbecue and interactive displays by

Wildlife Xposure. “We are excited to see Reconciliation in the Park back in Johnstone Park this year after the uncertainty of 2020, leading to a virtual event,” said Stanley’s partner and event programmer Nikki McKenzie said. “This year we have some new activities along with familiar ones from previous years.” Details: geelongonefire.org.au

Songs of revolution live on at the Shed The ‘Wobblies’ might have faded into the depths of history, but their songs live on, much to the delight of local historian and musician Colin Mockett. “Nobody remembers the Wobblies and what they went through,” he told the Independent, ahead of his upcoming tribute to the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) songbook. “The songs have remained and are now counted as folk songs but, in fact, they were songs of revolution long ago. “I really like this show, because it’s going to be an area of history that few people know about.” The Industrial Workers of the World, known colloquially as the Wobblies, were a worldwide organisation that signed up people in their tens of thousands. “The story is amazing and one I didn’t know about, and I’ve lived the majority of my life in the 20th Century,” Mockett said. “When you joined they gave you a song book, because they sang – they sang at picnics, they sang at strikes and they sang on the picket lines. They sang in jail and they sang outside the jails where Wobblies were being held.” Written by Woodie Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Joe Hill, to mention a few, the songs were created at a time of social upheaval. “At the beginning of the 20th Century, you could work 12 hours a day and still not make enough to get married, have a family and feed them,” Mockett said. “So I’m fascinated by this movement that had all the right motives – it wanted peace, equality and the gap between rich and poor to not just narrow, but disappear altogether. “The Industrial Workers of the World were dedicated to peace and equality but often found themselves at odds with the authorities.”

Classic tale to entertain kids

Musical couple Colin Mockett and Shirley Power will join forces for If I Had a Hammer - Songs of the IWW at the Potato Shed. (Reg Ryan)

In some ways, the IWW “lost spectacularly”, with their leaders being thrown in jail and even executed during times of war, Mockett explained. But their songs lived on throughout the 20th Century. Some, like If I Had A Hammer, We Shall Overcome and We Shall Not Be Moved emerged in popular remakes in the 1960s. Mockett, wife Shirley Power and fellow musicians Geoff Sinnbeck and Marie

Goldsworthy will sing these timeless tracks to the backdrop of rallies and other fascinating photos of the Wobblies from years past. “We sing the songs and then put them into context,” Mockett said. Their show, If I Had a Hammer - Songs of the IWW, comes to the Potato Shed at 10.30am on July 13. Details: geelongaustralia.com.au/potatoshed

Three bears will answer the age-old question, “who’s been sleeping in my bed?” when a classic English fairytale comes to the Potato Shed next week. It’s school holidays and Goldi, the youngest of the Locks children, wanders off into the woods in search of adventure. Meanwhile Mumma, Papa and Baby Bear are enjoying a picnic in the woods, but not everything is going to plan. The three bears return home, to discover someone has been in the house and eating their porridge. Who is it, and what else did they do? Find out when local group Theatre 3triple2 for Kids returns with their take on Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The show runs twice daily, 10.30am and 1.30pm, from next Tuesday to next Friday.

USED CAR CHECKOUT

Nissan Pulsar 2013 - 2018 By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring

2013 Nissan Pulsar SSS, and 2016 Nissan Pulsar. (Pictures: Supplied)

Naturally there are more manuals in the sporty SSS. The CVT has an interesting feature Nissan calls Smooth Start Assist. This irons out any accelerator pressure imperfections caused by the driver, or rough roads thus giving a smooth and fuel-efficient drive. Safety systems include front, side and curtains; ABS brakes with electronic brake distribution and brake assist; traction control and vehicle dynamic control. There are more Nissan dealers in country and remote areas than is usual in this class as big brother Nissan Patrol is popular in the bush. Servicing and spare parts prices are about average for this class. Not all spares for Pulsars are stocked in remoter areas of Australia but can generally be delivered within a few days of being needed. Nissan Pulsars are often owned by conservative drivers, with the possible exception of the sporty SSS, so insurance rates

Make sure to have a full pre-purchase inspection. If the any faults are found say you won’t buy the car until they have been rectified. We’ve heard of Pulsars that have always been parked outdoors having dashtop plastic going hard and cracking. Check the other plastics that are exposed to the sun as they may also have the trouble. CVT autos sound different to conventional automatic transmissions. If the ratio doesn’t seem right for the driving you’re doing, and/or they are noisy, have an expert check it out. Do the usual standard checks for damage to the wheels and tyres, the front-lefts are usually the ones to suffer. An engine that doesn’t start within a couple of seconds may need a tune-up, or have issues. Call a mechanic to inspect it.

There have been quite a few recalls on Pulsars, all of which should have been rectified by this time. Check www.productsafety.gov. au/products/transport/cars/nissan.

Nissan Pulsar was a big seller in Australia from its introduction way back in 1980. It was called Nissan Tiida from 2006 until 2012, then Pulsar again until 2018 when it fell victim to the SUV craze and was discontinued. During these missing years several quality cars were introduced and Pulsar didn’t manage to regain its major place on the market. Another factor for its reduced sales number was the increasing buyer interest in SUVs as these were no longer 4WDs but rather practical family machines. Nissan had been a strong player in 4WDs / SUVs for decades with Patrol, Qashqai, X-Trail and Juke, and the Pulsar lost sales to them. Initially only Pulsar four-door sedans were imported, a five-door hatch arrived six months later. Model range is Nissan ST, ST-L, ST-S and Ti, as well as the sporty SSS. Pulsar’s rear-seat legroom is good and they can carry two adults in reasonable comfort, three with less of a squeeze than you might expect. The boot is very good in the hatch and positively cavernous in the sedan. Long distance cruising on Australian country roads had always been a feature of Nissan Pulsars and the new model of 2013 continued that tradition. A stiff body structure not only offer good crash protection, but also minimises vibration. Mechanical and road noise have been isolated by extensive use of sound absorbing materials. A 1.8-litre engine is used in the standard models, with the topline Ti and SSS getting a 1.6-litre turbocharged unit. The six-speed manual gearbox didn’t sell particularly well, most buyers opt for an Xtronic continuously variable transmission.

Hanna hones leadership skills By Justin Flynn Ocean Grove physiotherapist Lauren Hanna has worked with many elite sporting organisations and is currently in Sweden with the Australian women’s football team, the Matildas. Hanna flew to Stockholm last Friday as the team’s assistant physio. The side played three games against Sweden for a loss and two draws and will then head to Japan for the Olympics. Hanna is also a recipient of Sport Australia’s 2021 Women Leaders in Sport Program.

She is among 160 participants who will undertake a six-week course that aims to support and empower women in the sport workforce. Other than the Matildas, Hanna has worked with Melbourne Storm, Melbourne Victory, Geelong Cats and Essendon Bombers. She is now looking to develop her leadership skills and hopes to become a lead physiotherapist for a major code. “It’s something that we had to apply for if you are female and involved in sport or leadership,” she said. “The stats on women involved in

management is lacking. The aim is to help give females the confidence in their ability to pursue lead roles in sport. “It’s about women trying to get involved in different aspects of sports whether it’s physio, high performance or management.” Hanna worked for the Storm when she said rugby league was a “very male dominated sport” and at Melbourne Victory when there were no women’s teams competing at the top level. “I was one of the few females in league as a physio,” she said.

Hanna then “went away and had a couple of kids” and was then involved with the Cats’ women’s program. “There were no female teams that were elite,” she said. “Now it’s skyrocketing with AFLW and womens football.” Hanna’s stint with the Matildas will see her work with Aussie captain and superstar Sam Kerr, but she is far from daunted by the prospect.. “I’ve known Sam since her very first game,” she said. “She was just a little 16-year-old.”

Dan takes AFLW reins Former Geelong midfielder Dan Lowther has taken over as senior coach of the Cats’ AFLW side. The 44-year-old takes the reins after Geelong’s inaugural AFLW coach Paul Hood resigned from the role at the end of the 2021 season. Lowther played 34 AFL games for Geelong from 1996 to 2001, before rejoining the club as its assistant VFL coach from 2015 to 2018. He then worked as an AFL analyst before joining the Geelong AFLW coaching group as assistant coach in 2021, working with the midfield group under Hood’s leadership. Lowther returned to full-time primary school teaching in 2021, alongside his role as AFLW assistant coach. “For me, when we start our pre-season it will be about making a few structural changes and subtle differences to allow us to compete

in games for longer,” Lowther said. “I’ll bring energy and enthusiasm, one of my strengths is working with people and relationships. Knowing the group for 12 months already is going to kick-start that aspect. “Knowing the girls’ strengths and weaknesses already, we will hit the ground running in the areas we need to improve on.” Geelong’s head of AFLW Brett Johnson described Lowther as the “right person” to lead the AFLW side in its next chapter on-field. He said Lowther would embrace opportunities to promote the program and the role it plays in “shaping positive outcomes in the community” too. “Dan brings a diverse set of skills and experience to the role, including a masters of education, 15 years of teaching experience, coaching in the talent pathway and various roles at the Cats across both women’s and men’s programs.”

SPORT Boys’ Section 5 goes down to the wire LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers The Section 5 boys played a gripping round of tennis on Saturday, with three of four matches decided on games alone. The three matches finished on three-sets-all, with the home team prevailing in each on games. Centre Court hosted All Saints Anglican in a match that was even throughout the day. The sides were at two-sets-all following the doubles and the first two singles rubbers. The last two singles sets made the difference, with Centre Court’s Zane Ryan dominating his 6-0. Alexander Williams won the other set convincingly 6-2 for All Saints Anglican, but the games he dropped allowed Centre Court to clinch the win by two games. Wandana Heights versus Highton was close too, with three sets decided by tie-breaks.

Highton started well taking the first two 6-5 and 6-2, but Wandana fought back taking the next two 6-5, 6-0. With a two-game lead, ladder leaders Wandana went down in the first doubles 5-6,

but fought back for a 6-4 win in the second to draw level on sets and seal a three-game victory. Clifton Springs closed the gap with third-placed Grovedale this week by eking out a two-game win. Clifton Springs’ Jesse Ballagh and Grovedale’s Callum Henderson had epic battles in their sets with Ballagh winning the singles 6-4. But Henderson, combining with Will Clayton, took the honours in the doubles via a tie-break. The remaining singles matches were all decided 6-1 with two to Grovedale and one to Clifton Springs, but a 6-0 win by Clifton Springs in the final doubles set put them over the line. The final match of the round saw second-placed Leopold take a 4-2 win over bottom-of-the-table Aireys Inlet. Leopold took a 3-1 lead in the singles with only a three-game buffer, but sealed the win with a 6-0 win in the first doubles. Aireys finished well, however, taking the final set 6-4.

Miers ready to return By Luke Voogt Geelong Cats will face in-form midfielders Zach Merrett and Darcy Parish when they take on Essendon at GMHBA Stadium tonight. “Parish is having a bit of a breakout year getting a bit more on-ball time,” Cats coach Chris Scott told a press conference on Wednesday. “And they’re a pretty dynamic group in there as well, with [Sam] Draper in the ruck helping a lot.” But Scott said the Cats would focus first on getting their own midfield right, rather than tagging opposition players, following a “collective poor performance” against Brisbane Lions last Thursday. “It can be a little overplayed, the one-on-one match-ups. We focus a bit more on ‘how’s our midfield going to go against theirs?’ and work out what the right balance for us is first,” he said. “Then it’s very much a secondary thing, ‘what do we have to take away from them?’” Further up the ground, unconventional forward Gryan Miers looks ready to return to the senior side after playing a second consecutive game in the reserves last week following his return from a leg fracture. “He’s got a different set of skills to our other forwards in particular,” Scott said. “He’s a smart player [with] great goal sense and he’s an elite runner, and when you take elite runners out of your team, it always has a bit of an impact. “So we’re looking forward to getting some of those things back from him.” Talented young midfielder Quinton Narkle continues to knock loudly on the door for selection too. “We’re not going to leave him out of our 22 for too long, that’s for sure,” Scott said. “I’d love to have him in the team and never have him go out again for a decade, but it’s not that simple. He’s going to play a lot of AFL footy for us.” Fellow young midfield talent Charlie Constable is also pressing his case for selection with 43 disposals and a goal against Brisbane’s reserves side last week. “He continually does the right thing outside of the games and then performs well in the games when he gets his chance,” Scott said. But speedster Jordan Clark will miss the chance to play in tonight’s game after injuring his AC joint in a heavy collision during the third quarter of the reserves. The shoulder injury will sideline Clark for several weeks. Meanwhile, Scott threw his support behind plans to condense the next few rounds of the 34 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 2 July, 2021

Garfish hold strong at waterfront ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos Local fishing continues to keep anglers busy with plenty of action on offer across the inner harbour of Corio Bay. Garfish are still holding in good numbers around the Geelong waterfront, with anglers not quite finding tonnes of fish but enough to make the effort worthwhile. Casting soft plastics in the same area, both land-based and off a boat, have been accounting for a variety of species including snapper, salmon, trevally and flathead. The outer harbour and around the Bellarine Peninsula has been a little slow, still there are a few decent squid reports rolling through, along with whiting still chewing at St Leonards. Gummy sharks have also been biting reasonably well out in the deeper water off St Leonards, the average fish has been about the 8kg mark – which is a great eating size. The gummies have also been biting very well offshore Ocean Grove, once again the 30-metre-mark proves to be the best location to find them, with fish getting over 15kg, with some solid pinkie snapper mixed among them. The barrel tuna bite is still showing no sign of slowing down off Cape Otway, with plenty of boats getting stuck into the hot action. Bobby Griffiths and Josh Speechley have been landing fish up to 100kg on pilchards and even managed to get a bite on top water, unfortunately the fish won that battle. Stoney Creek Reservoir has been fishing very well as of late with redfin biting well. Anglers casting yabby-style soft plastics off the main rock wall have been finding some cracker fish to over 40cm and in good numbers. Brown and rainbow trout should also be hanging around at the moment and casting Tassie devils is a great method to target them. Now that it’s the school holidays some of the local lakes have recently been stocked with rainbow trout. St Augustines in Highton is one of the many locations and has been stocked with 750 pan-size rainbow trout, perfect target species and location for the kids. Using a lightly-weighted running sinker rig with powerbait should provide plenty of action.The best part of fishing there is you don’t need to wait too long for it to happen.

AFL season given the worsening COVID-19 situation in New South Wales. “We’re up for it if the AFL is, but I think it’s incumbent on everyone to put self-interest aside and get through this as best we can,” Scott said. “I think there are bigger issues than a little bit of inconvenience and I suspect we’re going to go through a little bit more. “Our role, as far as we see it, is to one, ask the AFL what they need from us, and two, fight as hard as we can to get those things done.

“All clubs are going to have to adapt as best as possible and we’re more than willing to do our bit in that respect.” Scott also stated his support for more games to be played at GMHBA Stadium each year, with sixth-placed Sydney to take on seventh-placed West Coast at the venue on Sunday due to the COVID-19 situation. “I’m really looking forward to watching the game and I’m hoping the people in the region are as well,” he said.
