Screaming success Bellarine Secondary College students narrowly sneaked in their production of The Addams Family last fortnight, just a week before regional Victoria was plunged back into lockdown. Odi Evans (pictured) was among a dedicated and talented group of students “pouring their hearts out” into the three shows which began on August 14, according to senior drama teacher Melissa Di Niro. “We were able to put on a show in the same week we came out of lockdown 6.0, which was quite intense,” she said. “But our students rallied, and were happy to continue in any way possible. “The first thing we had to do was hire a trailer at 7am to get the set onsite.” Later, spooky ushers including teachers, parents and Cousin Itt helped the students stage the shows adhering strictly to COVID-safe requirements in front of a limited audience. “I just saw the joy of a group of people doing what they love,” Ms Di Niro said.

Cancer survivor’s jab plea By Luke Voogt As one of a very small minority who cannot receive a COVID-19 vaccine, due to a severely-weakened immune system, Justine Martin has urged Geelong locals to get the jab. “I won’t survive if I get COVID-19,” the Marshall grandmother said. “I’m waiting for that herd coverage to come.” Ms Martin, 50, called for locals to get vaccinated to help protect less than a few hundred people in Geelong who cannot receive the vaccine. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) a decade ago and has practically been in

“lockdown” for years before COVID-19 hit, after surviving three different cancers. From December 2016 to January 2017 she was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma and a melanoma, and underwent eight months of chemotherapy. “I had one foot in the grave,” she said. She has also had three heart surgeries in the past decade. But even after surviving these diagnoses and procedures, she has had to take extreme care of her immune system, isolating from family and friends with even minor cold. “Every time I fly I’ve had to wear a mask, long before COVID,” she said.

“I can’t even get the flu vaccine anymore.” She describes not being able to get the COVID-19 vaccine as “frustrating” given some healthy people are still refusing to get it. “There are other people like me out there who need that herd protection,” she said. Barwon South West Public Health Unit director Eugene Athan said “much less than 0.1 per cent population” cannot get vaccinated due to health reasons. “Often these people simply need a specific vaccine type with the right timing,” Professor Athan said. “Some medical conditions require careful consideration about timing and choice, but

there are no absolute contraindications that apply to all available COVID vaccines. “It is vital for people to get vaccinated to help achieve herd immunity to COVID-19. “A vaccination rate of about 80 per cent will reduce transmission and hospitalisations, but herd immunity … would require a much higher percentage. “Every small increase towards this number will help, so please get vaccinated as soon as you have the opportunity to do so.” To book a vaccination, phone 1800 675 398 or visit portal.cvms.vic.gov.au ■ More on Ms Martin’s journey: Page 5.

Thousands flock to testing sites By Luke Voogt More than 4000 people a day queued at Geelong COVID-19 testing sites following six new cases at Lara in a single household this week. “COVID-19 testing numbers in Geelong have increased significantly with over 8000 tests over the past two days,” Barwon South West Public Health Unit director Eugene Athan said yesterday. Barwon Health on Tuesday morning confirmed five Tier 2 sites in Corio for Saturday, August 21, including:

• Corio Village Shopping Centre common mall areas from 12.15pm to 2pm; • Chemist Warehouse from 12.15pm to 1.45pm; • Coles from 12.20pm to 1.30pm; • Corio Fruit and Veg Market from 12.55pm to 1.30pm; and • McDonalds from 1.00pm to 1.45pm. That afternoon the health provider released another six Tier 2 exposure sites including: • Riordan Fuels Lara (Shell), 1 Forrest Road, from 1.25pm to 2.10pm on Sunday, August 22; • Bunnings Norlane from 3.15pm to 4.15pm on Friday, August 20;

• Coles Lara Village from 1pm to 2.30pm on Thursday, August 19; • BP Little River – Princes Highway Geelong-bound, from 5.45pm to 6.15pm on Thursday, August 19; • Lara Post Office from noon to 1.30pm on Tuesday, August 17; and • Lara Physiotherapy Health Network from 4pm to 5.30pm on Monday, August 16, and 5.35pm to 6.30pm on Tuesday, August 17. “Barwon Health’s testing sites have extended hours to cater for increased demand and an additional site has been set up on the Deakin

University Waurn Ponds campus,” Professor Athan said. “The community is encouraged to attend the site closest to them if they need testing. “Anyone who visited an exposure site outside of the listed times does not need to get tested unless they have symptoms.” Local health authorities had recorded no new cases in Geelong since Tuesday, Professor Athan said as the Independent went to press yesterday afternoon.

NSW crossing dash ‘is a risk’

Laura Eaves with Bowser. (Ivan Kemp) 248665_10

Laura and Bowser in Petember spirit Norlane wolfhound-Bull Arab cross puppy Bowser might not be too keen for Variety’s Petember campaign, but his human companion Laura Eves certainly is. “He hates getting dressed up but I’ll make him anyway,” she told the Independent. “He’s such a handsome boy.” She plans to dress up her five-month-old, 23 kilogram “goofball” each week of September to raise money for the campaign. “He’s probably half the size he’s going to be – the vet reckons at least 50kg,” the 28-year-old said. “He loves to retrieve fluffy items, like my slippers. At the moment he’s licking his toy elephant on the floor.”

Bowser lives with Laura, her parents and their dogs: 15-year-old border collie Charlie and eight-year-old Kelpie Kate. “Charlie just tries to ignore him,” Laura laughed. But Bowser has found another best friend in canine companion Kate. “They try to rough each other up all the time and they sleep together, which is adorable,” Laura said. Each week in September Variety will send participating dog owners like Laura “paw-some” themes to dress up their beloved pooch. The campaign aims to raise money for assistance dogs, which Variety describes as “a lifeline for children in need”.

Last financial year, Variety funded nine assistance dogs to help improve the lives of children with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing disorder, anxiety and epilepsy. Training a Variety assistance dog can cost up to $40,000. Supermarket worker Laura described the campaign as a good way to break up the monotony of work and lockdown. “It just looked fun – it’s something to do in my free time,” she said, “Everyone deserves to have a support animal.” Details: fundraise.variety.org.au/event/ petember/home Luke Voogt

A requirement for travellers to cross NSW in 24 hours or less is putting flocks of grey nomads at risk, according to Geelong seniors calling for a 12-hour extension. “For the older generation it’s just impossible,” said Moolap retiree Leon van Es, 67, who recently drove home from the Gold Coast in 16 hours with only quick stops to fill up at service stations. “It’s not too bad for us younger ones. But physically, many 80-year-olds, especially those towing caravans, can’t cope with more than six hours a day. “Quite frankly, it’s making it very dangerous for a lot of those older people.” Geelong retiree Brian Edward, 81, was yesterday getting ready for his second COVID-19 test on the 13th day of his isolation after returning from the Gold Coast. He tested negative in his first test. Mr Edward crossed the Queensland-NSW border at 5pm and stayed at Nambucca Heads in NSW, to get up early the next morning to give him and his wife the best chance of making the 24-hour deadline. “I knew that I wouldn’t be able to do it in a single day,” he said. He left Victoria in May, while Mr van Es left 10 weeks ago. “We went before the lockdowns were announced in NSW and Victoria,” Mr Edward said. Mr Edward has emailed Geelong MP Christine Couzens calling for state government to allow 36 hours, given those returning must quarantine. A staffer replied saying the current permit requirements were “preceded by several weeks of warning to Victorians to not leave the state”. Luke Voogt

Cancellations cost $103 million By Luke Voogt Cancelled or postponed events have cost Geelong at least $103.9 million since June 2020, including $75 million outlined in a report highlighting the devastating impact of COVID-19. Geelong Major Events Committee’s recently-released annual report estimates nine cancelled events had cost about $40 million in local economic benefits. The committee compiled the report prior to the recent cancellation of the Australian International Airshow, which in 2019 injected $28.9 million into the local economy. The report lists a further four postponed

events costing $35 million, although council hopes to recoup the losses with these events scheduled for 2022. Seven council-sponsored events that went ahead in 2020-21 generated an estimated

$9.2 million in economic activity, a return on investment of 28:1 according to the report. By comparison, in 2018-19, the last financial year before COVID-19, council-sponsored events injected $99.3 million into the local economy. In 2020-21 council-sponsored events attracted about 70,000 people, with 54 per cent of those coming from outside greater Geelong. RONE in Geelong generated record attendances at Geelong Gallery and created an estimated economic impact of almost $4.23 million. The 2021 Head of the Schoolgirls Regatta injected about $1.45 million into the local economy, while the 2021 Ironman 70.3 Geelong generated an estimated $1.18 million.

Restrictions on international travel forced the cancellation of the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, the Bay Cycling Classic, Vic Open golf, the Blackball World Championships and Australian Open table tennis. Organisers also cancelled the Festival of Sails. “Major events are vitally important to local businesses and they also bring our community together – so we feel their cancellation from both a financial and social perspective,” Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher said. “Hopefully we are not too far away from our vaccination levels reaching a point where major events can be planned and staged with more certainty.”

Debate over rule changes

Marshall grandmother Justine Martin has made the finals of 10 categories at the AusMumpreneur awards.

Mumpreneur defies odds at awards A Marshall grandmother has made the AusMumpreneur Awards in an impressive 10 out of 11 categories that she was nominated for. Justine Martin, who has multiple sclerosis (MS) and has survived three cancers and three heart surgeries, is in the running for categories including “Disabled Business Excellence” and “Women Will Change the World”. “I was blown away – absolutely gobsmacked,” the 50-year-old said. “Ten years ago I was told I would never be able to work again. Never tell me ‘can’t’.” Justine’s mother also had MS and died at age 49.

“She never exercised, ate terribly, smoked and didn’t look after her mental wellbeing at all,” Justine remembered. “There weren’t the support services that there are now. She did the best that she could.” But Justine took a different path after her diagnosis. “One day I just thought, ‘what are you doing with your life?’,” she said. “‘Your journey is not your mother’s journey’.” After months sitting in the carpark of a Perth gallery building her courage, she took the plunge and joined an art class. “I took to it like a duck to water,” she said.

Justine later moved to Geelong, and has since co-authored and illustrated books, won almost 40 awards for her art and developed resiliency courses. She also runs art wellness classes for people with disabilities. While MS impacts on her counting, cognition and motor skills, she describes the condition as “just a small part of me”. “I like to think my story is someone else’s survival guide,” she said. “Maybe they can look at their own lives and go, ‘if she can do it, I can do it too’.” Luke Voogt

Surf Coast Shire councillor Heather Wellington has slammed council for making “minimal changes” to new governance rules. “I believe the rules could have been significantly improved,” the Winchelsea ward councillor said. “To my personal disappointment, despite thoughtful community feedback and constructive suggestions to improve them, council made minimal changes.” Cr Wellington and Torquay ward councillor Paul Barker opposed rules restricting amendments to motions and another requiring two signatures for councillors to include motions on the meeting agenda. The new rules now require amendments to motions to propose a “substantially similar outcome”, rather than not “directly negate the original motion” as per council’s previous governance rules. “There seems little point in proposing amendments if they are limited to producing a ‘substantially similar’ outcome to the original motion,” Cr Wellington said. Council received 27 submissions during the 28-day exhibition period and held a special meeting on July 13 where nine people spoke to their submission. In Tuesday night’s meeting council made some changes to the rules including flexibility on the wording of amendments and an option for people to ask follow up questions during public question time, according to council. Mayor Libby Stapleton said the rules aimed to strike a balance between “productivity” and “community input”. Luke Voogt

A dozen dedicated volunteers’ two decades of looking after 12 kilometres of the Waurn Ponds Creek has earned them a Geelong council award. Friends of Waurn Ponds Creek recently won council’s Green Achiever Water Conservation Award for removing rubbish from the watercourse during fortnightly working bees. “We’ve been around since the late 1990s,” said group convener Rhonda Kelly. “We’ve pulled out mattresses, bikes, car tyres and shopping trolleys – you name it, anything that people dump. “We plant native trees to provide a green belt for small birds, to give them protection from larger species and allow them to travel up and down the creek. “The bird life has increased because of our activity and council’s activity.” The group is also working to protect

marine life, in particular the threatened Yarra Pygmy Perch. “It used to live in the Yarra River, but it’s too polluted there now,” Rhonda said. “They’re just one of the many critters in there.” Rhonda lives a kilometre from the creek in Grovedale and hopes her work will help keep it in pristine condition for her grandchildren and future generations. “We work hard to keep the creek clear.” Council environmental portfolio chair Jim Mason praised the group’s work planting indigenous species, propagated from locally-sourced seeds, to improve the health and habitats of the creek. “The revegetation, rubbish removal and maintenance work this group undertakes helps promote action and pride in the broader community,” Cr Mason said.

Surf Coast Shire Council has adopted a policy highlighting the need for six times the number of social housing properties currently in the municipality. According to the policy, which council adopted on Tuesday, the Surf Coast Shire currently has 62 social housing properties and an un-met demand for an additional 335 homes.

Baby boom Geelong has recorded a baby boom during the COVID-19 pandemic with more than 2800 births at Barwon Health during 2020-21, up 200 on the previous financial year. The 7.5 per cent increase is higher than the normal five per cent annual increase, resulting primarily from greater Geelong’s population growth each year.

Pfizer vaccinations open at hub By Luke Voogt Pfizer jabs opened to under 40s at Norlane’s vaccination hub on Wednesday following statewide changes to eligibility. Victorians aged 16-18 are now eligible for the Pfizer vaccine, while those aged 18-59 can choose either Pfizer or AstraZeneca, subject to limited supplies of Pfizer. “We remind the community, that the best vaccine is the one you can get today,” Barwon South West Public Health Unit director Eugene Athan said. “This week the Barwon South West Public Health Unit is providing over 20,000 doses of vaccine across the region.” Pfizer is only available by booking, with no walk-ins for the general population, while

bookings are preferred for AstraZeneca. “Our community vaccination hub has seen strong demand from people aged 18-39 over the past week,” professor Athan said. “As we continue to add more appointments to the booking system, we hope this demand continues as more vaccination doses are added each week.” Those over 60 will continue to receive the AstraZeneca vaccine. State government on Tuesday announced 830,000 appointments would become available over the next four weeks at state-run hubs like the former Ford factory in Norlane, including 450,000 for Pfizer first doses. The expansion followed Victoria receiving another 175,000 doses of Pfizer from the Commonwealth, after they recently arrived

from overseas. Doses in the Barwon South West region surpassed 188,000 on Tuesday, up 4000 on 184,000 on Monday. More than a third of Geelong locals over 15 were fully vaccinated (38.6 per cent) as of last Sunday, while 61.4 per cent had received their first dose, according to the latest Commonwealth health data. Pfizer has a 95 per cent efficacy, according to Australian government Department of Health, while AstraZeneca’s efficacy is 81 per cent. AstraZeneca has a two-to-three in 100,000 chance of causing blood clots in people under 60, a much lower chance than they have of developing blood clots from the contraceptive pill or COVID-19 itself.

Assisting families through difficult times Relationship Matters (formerly known as LifeWorks) has a 73 year history of providing support to families, parents, individuals and members of the community to enable them to strengthen and improve relationships. Services include individual, couple and family counselling, relationship learning programs, family dispute resolution as well as mediation, with services available across Victoria as well as online. Jonathan Sturman has been part of the Dispute Resolution team at Relationship Matters for two years.

As a family dispute resolution practitioner, his role is to support separated couples make arrangements for their children as well as resolving financial issues that result from separation. He is one of a team of fully qualified and registered practitioners that provide a raft of services including child inclusive practice, legally assisted family dispute resolution, workplace mediation and mediation between family members. Jonathan has a good understanding of the needs of families in the region, having lived, worked and volunteered in the Geelong region over the past 16 years. Jonathan says what motivates him “is seeing the benefits to children when their parents are able to focus on their needs. When their needs are a priority, children can not only avoid the harm that can be caused by their parents’ conflict – but can find themselves in a supportive relationship with each parent knowing that they will always try to do what’s best for them.” As a multi-disciplined agency, Relationship Matters has flexibility to tailor services to clients’ unique needs. In the Geelong region, Jonathan is one of several highly experienced practitioners to whom our clients can be referred if they require support to manage the challenges of separation and other relationship issues. Relationship Matters embraces family diversity and has expertise in working with people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, people from LGBTIQ+ communities, and blended families.

Talking Youth forum ‘sees you’ Amid the isolation of COVID-19, connecting young people through “real conversations” has never been more crucial, according to Talking Youth founder Fiona Luca. Luke Voogt speaks to Fiona and two speakers featuring in her upcoming Talking Youth Sees You forum, who hope their journeys can inspire Geelong’s young people.

fter 10 years teaching science and maths in Melbourne’s western suburbs Ruth Hibburt moved down to Geelong just after her divorce, and began a seven-year journey of personal development. “I rebuilt who I was,” she says. “I was a victim of own my mindset and thinking. “I invested more $100,000 in my own education and met with the best mentors and life coaches from around the world.” Now happily-married with two boys in Clifton Springs, the author, education consultant and numeracy specialist has a few secrets to pass on to local teens. “I won’t teach anything I haven’t done myself,” she says. “I’ve worked with more than 3000 students in and out of schools and I’ve studied the patterns for success. “I’ve followed students’ journeys from primary school to year 12, and beyond.”

‘‘

Now more than ever, young people need to learn how to believe in themselves even when people around them don’t

’’

- Ruth Hibburt

In 2019, her observations led to her publishing her book Do make mistakes: the secrets to success that every teen must know. “Everything I do, comes down to my five secrets of success,” she says. Ruth hopes to share these secrets of empowerment alongside other speakers in the first-ever Talking Youth Sees You forum on September 12. Initially intended as Talking Youth’s first live forum, the free event has migrated online amid Victoria’s latest COVID-19 outbreak. “One of the secrets is self-belief,” Ruth says. “Now more than ever, young people need to learn how to believe in themselves even when people around them don’t.” Ruth wants to encourage young people to examine their values and embrace a “growth mindset”. “There’s too many teenagers who have a fixed mindset,” she explains. “Everyone has limiting beliefs that are holding them back. “My purpose is for every single young person to believe they deserve to be successful and know that there are things they can do to empower themselves. “If a young person has the belief that they are not good enough, they are going to make decisions based on that.” She recounts the journey of year 12 student with “crippling anxiety”, who did just that. “He couldn’t even step foot in school without having a panic attack,” she says. “He was about to drop out and give up on VCE. He was choosing to be around people that bullied him and put him down. “He would spend all night on computer games and he was not communicating with parents and friends that were a positive influence. “He had a belief that he was stupid.” But, as an education consultant, Ruth helped the boy recognise the signs in his body before a panic attack, and see his potential and intelligence. “People have said to me that there’s a spring in his step again,” she says. “His parents have just been saying how he’s been smiling all week for the last few weeks. He’s organised and he’s got a plan

of how he’s going to achieve his ATAR goal. He’s not communicating with the people that were bullying him and spending less time on games.” To Ruth, crisis is an opportunity for people to change how they think and respond to their environment. Amid a global pandemic, that message has never been more crucial, she says. “Right now there’s a lot of people feeling really down and in crisis,” she says. The creator of the Talking Youth podcast, Fiona Luca, agrees wholeheartedly. “This is a good opportunity for young people to alter their perspective or to access some tools to support them through this relentless time,” Fiona says. Like Ruth, Fiona has found opportunity in crisis while moving the forum online amid Victoria’s latest lockdown – being able to reach more youths. “I think it’s a big opportunity,” she says, “It can extend it Victoria-wide, Australia-wide and beyond.” The event delves into mind management, self-image and movement with six different speakers. Lewis Taranto and Kyle Jdali, who founded mental health service Atman when they were 17, will share their stories and speak about the taboo topics that “are scary to address”. “They are determined to change mental health systems in a way that previous generations have been unable to do,” Fiona says. “They also like dyeing their hair pink and shaving their eyebrows for charity.” Choreographer and movement coach Zoee Marsh will also appear in the online forum. “She does incredible things in the movement

space,” Fiona says. “It was important for me to have a really diverse range of holistic mentors who were dedicated to supporting young people.” And as many Australians turn to the bottle during lockdown and isolation, fellow speaker and Sober Mates founder Sammy Wilson hopes her journey can inspire the “sober curious”. The 27-year-old data analyst initially decided to have a break from alcohol in February 2020, just five weeks before Australia went into its first lockdown. She had long thought about cutting alcohol out of her life, but a mate’s hen’s party proved the final catalyst. “Because I was organising it, I didn’t drink until 4pm and tried to catch up – which never works out well,” she says. The messy night ended in her continuing an “unhealthy pattern” of “drunkenly calling up the ex and dragging them over”. “I had the hangover from hell – it was a four-day hangover – I thought, ‘why am I doing this to myself?’ “I wanted to work out how everybody else drank and didn’t seem to have a problem – I thought it was just me – but then I realised, it was just something we don’t talk about.” A few months in, she founded her “passion project” Sober Mates, an online platform exploring the effects of alcohol and providing resources for the “sober curious” or those just looking to cut down. “There was nothing that really spoke young people,” she says. “In our culture we are so OK about people drinking. “There’s this stigma around, ‘you’ll be boring and not social at all’. But true

friends realise you’re the same person.” Eighteen months later, Sammy remains sober and has ditched ‘hangxiety’ – the nasty cocktail of chemical imbalances in the brain resulting in anxiety during hangovers. “After a few months, I was waking up happier than ever and I thought, ‘I want to wake up like this all the time’,” she says. “I still have big nights out with my girlfriends [sobre], but I’m more engaging and I have deeper connections with people. “I know what I’ve said and done, I know I’ve had a good time and I love being able to drive home at the end of the night.” But even in the most severe of lockdowns, bottle shops remain open as “essential services”, presenting a temptation for some. “I think that’s been quite the dangerous thing during lockdown,” Sammy says. For others, drinking alone without friends or bartender to tap them on the shoulder can be equally dangerous, she says. “It’s been an easy coping mechanism for Australians for some time. “I know a lot of people drinking to numb their feelings and as a means to cope, but using a substance isn’t going to change your circumstances.” Sammy hopes to encourage local young people to have a closer look at their “relationship with alcohol” during Talking Youth’s online forum. “What I want to get out of session is to give people the resources to have these conversations with their mates and parents,” she says. “Talking Youth is an incredible platform for young people to have, so I’m really happy to tell my story.” Details: talkingyouth.com.au Friday, 27 August, 2021 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 9

MY GEELONG Fresh from their latest role as Gomez in a recent local production of The Addams Family, Odi Evans shares their love of acting and the environment with Luke Voogt.

What do you enjoy about acting? I’ve always been interested in acting. My mother’s an author so I’ve grown up around books, media and things like that. I’ve always found storytelling intriguing – it’s so inherently human to tell stories. High school was my first exposure to a proper drama class. When you’re performing, you’re free to be someone else for a bit. You’ve got a script, so you know what you’re saying, not like social interactions, which are much harder to do. Gomez, from The Addams Family has been a highlight, but acting in our production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was also a joy. I got to tango in both roles, once with a blanket and once with a real person, Morticia. And it was fun doing the Spanish accent as Gomez. Tell us about your environmental work… At school I founded our own environmental group: Gang Green. We’ve done a clean-up

Tell us about you… I’m 17, from Ocean Grove and I’m in year 11 at Bellarine Secondary College. I lived in Preston until I was six, and then we moved here because dad got a job at Deakin University in criminology. I’m quite into nature, so I do a lot of painting and nature walking, and I also volunteer at the local Landcare. I coach under-seven soccer at Surfside Waves, which is kind of a nightmare but fun and fulfilling. I played with the women at Surfside, because they didn’t have a girls’ side, and we won the grand final in 2018. But I’ve directed my passions in other areas since then.

day and we did activities around refugee week, including writing welcome in 42 different languages on the pavement in chalk. We won a video competition for Southern Ocean Environmental Link. We had to create a one-minute video highlighting how our school is combatting waste through composting and recycling. We also secured a $5000 grant to establish an endemic bush tucker garden at school including bee boxes.

What are your favourite things to do locally? I’m quite anti-social, so I usually go bushwalking or walk our border collielabrador Pip at 13th Beach. Very occasionally, I’ll go see a play at Geelong Arts Centre – that happens about once every two years or so. I engage in the odd protest. I spoke at the 2019 climate change rally in Geelong. I also clean up near the rivers as well, there are a lot of micro plastics there.

How are you coping with COVID-19? It’s an adventure. Online schooling has taken its toll mentally, but it’s manageable. The lack of socialisation is a bit jarring at first and you sort of lose your sense of reality. What’s something about you that people might not know? I use they and them pronouns, because I’m agender.

Platypus search begins Rapidly declining platypus numbers in the Barwon River and other local watercourses has prompted a “great search” for the iconic creatures to help reverse the trend. The Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CMA) is calling on local wildlife enthusiasts to become “citizen scientists” in The Great Australian Platypus Search. The search involves students, kids, community groups and others taking water samples at 1500 sites across Geelong, the Corangamite region and Victoria from August to October – platypus breeding season. “This project will help researchers understand where platypuses still survive in Victoria and provide much-needed data to inform future conservation actions,” Corangamite CMA chief executive John Riddiford said.

“Community members across the Corangamite region are passionate about environmental conservation and protecting animals, especially the platypus. “This is a great way to get outside and down to a local waterway and make real change for the platypus.” The platypus is now at risk of extinction with mounting evidence of the species’ decline following habitat loss, drought, climate change and recent bushfires. The species was listed as threatened in Victoria for the first time earlier this year. Scientists will use the samples to detect platypus DNA over large areas. Data of this quality and consistency has never been gathered on this scale before in Australia, according to Corangamite CMA. Details: thegreataustralianplatypussearch.org

Neville back on board after taking time to deal with health Bellarine MP Lisa Neville resumed most of her ministerial duties on Monday after taking six months of leave following complications from Crohn’s disease. Ms Neville initially announced in February she would take three months off after suffering her “worst” episode yet of the chronic inflammatory bowel disease. She was hospitalised on February 12 due to the condition, which she has lived with for 32 years. But Ms Neville had to undergo surgery in April after her health worsened. Prior to the surgery, she thanked supporters and those suffering from Crohn’s or similar illnesses who had reached out to her. “It’s a small consolation that people are now learning more about Crohn’s, its triggers and 10 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 27 August, 2021

the seriousness that the complications can cause,” she said. This Monday, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed Ms Neville had resumed

her duties as Police Minister and Water Minister. “Lisa has shown enormous strength and resilience through her recovery from surgery and treatment for Crohn’s disease, and I know how determined she has been to return to work,” Mr Andrews said. Ms Neville has also resumed her responsibilities as Co-ordinating Minister of the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and leading Victoria’s COVID-19 quarantine program. “Preparations are now underway to establish the new quarantine facility at Mickleham, which will be run by COVID-19 Quarantine Victoria reporting through the police portfolio,” Mr Andrews said. But Attorney General Jaclyn Symes will

take over Ms Neville’s remaining ministerial portfolio as Emergency Services Minister. “As part of her return-to-work planning, Lisa and I have discussed what she needs to do to ensure her health continues to improve and her recovery is sustainable,” Mr Andrews said. “After considering advice from her doctors, she has been clear that some of the requirements of the emergency services portfolio – including regular travel around to remote parts of the state at short notice – are simply not compatible with managing her condition and recovery. “Finally, I thank Danny Pearson and Richard Wynne for acting in Lisa’s portfolios while she recovered.” Luke Voogt

Suffice to say French filmmaker Luc Besson likes his characters off-centre; in this case it’s 250 years beyond the present, with a NY cab driver (Bruce Willis) and a mysterious waif (Milla Jovovich) racing against the clock to save the world from evil. The visuals, from Jean-Paul Gaultier’s eccentric costumes to intricately detailed sets and panoramas, are dazzling and plentiful. It’s good versus evil presented with visionary gusto and not just special effects.

Songstress back for writing sesh By Luke Voogt Geelong born-and-bred singer Adalita Srsen hopes to teach local musos how to “tap into their dreams” and everyday life to write songs in October. “Something as mundane as going down the street and grabbing a sandwich can be transformed into a song, and elevated into this artistic piece,” she told the Independent this week. “There are plenty of other techniques, but they’re a bit fiddly to go into.” Known simply as Adalita onstage, the frontwoman of locally-formed band Magic Dirt hopes to lead a songwriting session in Geelong on October 14. The workshop is part of Creative Victoria’s The Regional Sessions series. “It will fun to meet songwriters at different levels of experience,” Adalita said. “I find, doing mentoring sessions like this, I always take something away. As much as they’re learning from me, I’m learning from them. “People can talk about their ideas and techniques, if they’ve got some, which is a great way to share and build skills. “Mostly, it’s just going to be great fun. The pandemic and lockdowns have really splintered people – so it will be nice to get together and share music and songs.” Adalita was also thrilled to return to her former hometown. “I still don’t feel like a city person even though I’ve been in Melbourne since ’97,” she said. “I know Geelong very well and it’s a part of me.”

She lived in central Geelong, Torquay, Barwon Heads and elsewhere around the coast before moving to the big smoke. Her band, Magic Dirt, formed in the ”gorgeous little seaside hamlet” of Breamlea, she remembered. “Then we progressed from our bedrooms to the Barwon Club – the punk rock cradle of Geelong,” she said. The Regional Sessions are a spin-off of the Melbourne Sessions, which took place in 2018 and 2019 with support from state government. The full-day program is tailored to each local area, featuring a keynote speaker, a songwriter panel and small-group workshops. The program will culminate with a curated performance and post-event networking at a nearby venue. Adalita is the keynote presenter for the Geelong event, at Platform Arts, which also features the talents of Alex Lahey, Craig Pilkington, Emma Donovan and N’fa Jones. “It’s going to be a great opportunity for songwriters to connect and experience new ideas and share in the creative process,” Adalita said. State government is supporting The Regional Sessions through its $5 million regional and outer suburban live music initiative aimed at bringing sound back to local stages and helping the industry recover.

Images from the Necessity: waggas and the art of making do exhibition at the National Wool Museum. (Supplied)

Ode to ‘making do’ ready when restrictions ease Victoria is in lockdown, for now, but the National Wool Museum’s tribute to the “make-do Aussie spirit” is set for a fitting return when restrictions ease. The museum is custodian to one of Australia’s largest and most significant collections of heritage quilts and waggas, on display for the first time in 25 years. While temporarily closed, Necessity: waggas and the art of making do is scheduled to remain on display until December 5, giving locals a chance to view the exhibit when restrictions ease. Born of necessity and the desperate times of the 1890s to 1930s, the wagga was the

bushman’s blanket, made by pioneering men from old jute wheat sacks and wool bales. As it evolved, women replaced the rough jute sacks with calico flour bags, fabric swatches and bits of old clothes. The wagga embodies “the make-do Aussie spirit”, according National Wool Museum director Padraic Fisher. “Necessity: waggas and the art of making do shows us that even in challenging times our designs can be quite extraordinary,” he said, “In Australia, this art of making do has a long and rich history.” Taking inspiration from the wagga, the exhibition presents a range of other creations borne of necessity from across the centuries.

These objects include a wool fragment recovered from the 1797 Sydney Cove shipwreck, a maid’s dress from 1840, two rare Jimmy Possum chairs, contraband from the Geelong Gaol and even an upcycled cardboard sleeping bag. The exhibit also includes contemporary community quilting projects to show that the art of making do “is still with us and continues to thrive today”. “As we marvel at furniture, dresses and waggas cobbled together from scarce materials available at the time, it is vital we recognise the ingenuity and skills of making do,” Mr Fisher “Exhibitions like this are important because

they help connect us. Like a handshake across time, they bring us closer to those who made and used these objects and the lives they lived.” Mayor Stephanie Asher said the exhibition told the stories of treasured family pieces and the people they are connected to. “Council is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Australian heritage quilts and waggas as part of cultural programming at the National Wool Museum,” Cr Asher said. “Through [various other] ongoing programs we continue to support this commitment and help tell the deeper stories of these treasured pieces.” Details: geelongaustralia.com.au/nwm Friday, 27 August, 2021 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 15

MOTOR

MX-30 expands the Mazda range By Alistair Kennedy, Marque Motoring

with Stop & Go; rear parking sensors; Rear Cross Traffic Alert; reversing camera; Smart Brake Support; Rear Crossing; Turn-across Traffic; Traffic Sign Recognition; and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.

Released here in January 2021, the MX-30 is the latest model in the continually expanding Mazda SUV range. The name is a bit confusing given that previous cars with the MX prefix have been sporty coupes or convertibles, most notably the iconic MX-5. In this case it stands for Mazda’s new Skyactiv-X M Hybrid technology with the M indicating that it is a mild hybrid or MHEV. It joins the Mazda3 hatch and CX-30 SUV in offering the MHEV option. In April this year the MX-30 MHEV was joined by the MX-30 EV, the first ever pure electric vehicle from Mazda. Only 100 units have been allocated with delivery expected soon. Three variants of the MX-30 MHEV are offered: Evolve, Touring and Astina with prices ranging from $33,990 for the entry-level Evolve through to $40,990 for the top-of-range Astina. Styling The first thing you notice about the MX-30 is its narrow grille, a big change from the large Mazda-family grille that’s been a feature across the Mazda range for some time. More of a grin than a guffaw this time. The profile follows similar lines to the CX-30 but with a slightly more coupe-like dip towards the rear. The most dramatic feature by far is the reverse-hinged rear doors. Called ‘freestyle’ by Mazda, but more colloquially ‘suicide doors’ by their critics, they were last seen here in the Mazda RX-8 sports car. The rear doors can only be opened when the front ones are open to provide a large single opening. However, we didn’t find any practical benefit from the format with access to the rear seats quite awkward especially in cramped

Driving Apart from the extra torque the performance of the MX-30 is much the same as its CX-30 sibling. There’s nothing exciting about it but town it’s smooth, comfortable and quiet while it cruises easily in motorway conditions. Out on the open road ride quality and interior sound levels are excellent while coarse-chip surfaces do increase noise levels although not to the same extent as in others in this class. Handling is accurate and the steering wheel provides the right amount of feedback.

New narrow grille identifies the Mazda MX-30 Hybrid.

only 0.1 litres lower than the identical engine in the petrol-only CX-30.

parking areas. Likewise, the ability to open the front doors to almost 90 degrees is useful but again care needs to be taken in tight areas.

Safety Standard equipment in all models includes 10 Airbags; Blind Spot Monitoring; Driver Attention Alert; Emergency Lane Keeping with Road Keep Assist and Blind Spot Assist; Emergency Stop Signal; Forward Obstruction Warning; High Beam Control; Hill Launch Assist; Lane Departure Warning; Lane-keep Assist System; Mazda Radar Cruise Control

Powertrain The MX-30 combines a 2.0-litre 114kW / 200 Nm petrol engine with a 24-volt battery sending power to the front wheels through a six-speed torque-convertor automatic transmission. As with other hybrid systems regenerative braking recharges the battery for improved fuel efficiency, although at 6.4 litres per 100 km it’s

Summing up The Mazda MX-30 MHEV is the latest in a growing number of vehicles with mild hybrid powertrains on the Australian market and, as far as we’re concerned the jury is still out on whether they justify their higher prices. While the battery does provide some extra torque in the MX-30 it’s certainly not dramatic and, as mentioned previously, the fuel saving is minimal. So potential buyers need to decide whether they are willing to pay the extra $2400 for an MX-30 Evolve over the CX-30 Evolve. Alternatively, at around the same prices for the MX-30 Touring and Astina variants they could get the equivalent CX-30s but with a 2.5-litre engine and around 25 per cent more power and torque. Others may be happy to pay extra for the ‘EV’ badge on the number plates and Mazda’s commitment to environmentally-friendly components.

Scramble for junior tennis finals LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers The most recent COVID-19 lockdown wreaked havoc on Tennis Geelong’s finals, which were due to start last Saturday. With just 12 hours’ notice, junior committee members scrabbled to get the word out that the day’s play was cancelled. Lockdown is due to end in time for the grand finals, but this remains a moving target for Tennis Geelong organisers amid the unpredictability of the pandemic. If grand final week goes ahead as scheduled, only the top two teams in each section will have a chance to play for the premiership, rather than the top four. The final four of the Section 1 girls will be devastated, with only four premiership points separating them. The closest section of the season will see minor premiers Grovedale Yellow face Highton. Grovedale took top spot in the final round, coming from third with a massive 6-0 win, and Highton and Wandana Heights drew, to finish second and third respectively. Highton would be quietly confident having won the teams’ only other meeting in round 4 by three games, with the sets level. Amelia Batty lost just one game that day, so Grovedale Yellow will need to determine the best way to play the team to limit her effect. Western Heights Uniting will host Centre Court in the Section 4 girls, with both teams having won 40 sets for the season. In their one meeting this season, the singles results were close, but Uniting took both doubles sets comfortably 6-1 6-0 to shore up their 4-2 win. Centre Court will need to get their combinations right if they are to turn the tables. Section 7 Girls saw Wandana Heights take

top spot with a 6-0 win from Grovedale, which had a bye in the final round. Grovedale won 5-1 when the teams last played in round 4. While on paper this looks convincing,

three of the sets were 6-5, making the result much closer than it appears and the final an interesting one to watch. Section 1 boys will see Geelong Lawn win a premiership, as their White and Green teams

will both battle for the flag. While White finished seven points ahead of Green, the two matches they played were split with Green taking the first by seven games, at three-sets-all, and White rebounding to take the second 5-1. White would be confident going into the match after the defeat in the first encounter, as a change-up in singles order and doubles pairings saw a big turnaround to White in the second meeting. In the Section 6 Boys, Waurn Ponds pushed themselves into second with a 6-0 win in their last match. This left them on equal points with minor premiers Geelong Lawn but 4.04 per cent behind. The teams only played once in the season, with nothing between them then either. The game finished in a thrilling draw at three sets, 28 games each. Ethan Terpstra has played well for Waurn Ponds, and has lost only one singles match for the season – to Geelong Lawn’s Liam Flanagan, who remains undefeated. Both teams will need to play well to get over the line in this one. Section 8 will see two highly unusual things happen. The top two teams, Grovedale and Surfcoast Jan Juc, both finished undefeated and will play each other for the first time in the grand final. Rounds 5, 10 and 15, when the teams were scheduled to play each other, were abandoned due to various lockdowns. The lack of head-to-head data for this final makes it impossible to predict. Grovedale will hope for Riley Van der Vliet to continue his good form, only dropping two sets, both doubles, for the season Surfcoast Jan Juc will be looking for a good all round performance to get them over the line.

Duncan back for big final By Luke Voogt Versatile midfielder Mitch Duncan is set to return from injury in a huge boost for Geelong Cats against Port Adelaide in tonight’s qualifying final. “Mitch Duncan will play,” Cats coach Chris Scott told a press conference on Wednesday. The Cats had been “conservative” with Duncan’s return after he suffered a posterior cruciate ligament injury in round 14, 10 weeks ago, according to Scott. “We think he probably could’ve played before this,” he said. “It’s been a really long, slow, deliberate recovery that ensured this knee won’t affect him at the latter stages of his career. “There was enough fat in the plan, even with the abolished pre-finals bye, that he would play in the finals series. “He’s a flexible player and a really hard runner. “He’s getting close to 50 days running now. And there are some comparisons around the competition of guys who have had that PCL injury who have come back much much quicker.

“Which gives you an indication of how much work he’s been able to do [and] gives us the scope to play him in a variety of positions without being concerned that he hasn’t done enough work.” Scott said the Cats had “moved on as a collective really quickly” after squandering a 44-point third quarter lead in their after-the-siren loss to minor premiers Melbourne. “There’s things we learned in the last 40 minutes that we think will help us.” Scott paid respect to the likes of Ollie Wines, Travis Boak, Karl Amon and Robbie Gray, and said Geelong was examining its best structures to take on the Power’s dual ruck setup and midfield. He expected dynamic forward Gary Rohan to be “crucial” in Geelong’s finals campaign. “He’s going to be a handful for the opposition,” he said. “His statistical output doesn’t reflect his value to the team.” The Cats were in hard quarantine this week preparing for the trip to Adelaide, with Scott expecting to play the next game

in Perth regardless of tonight’s result. The result would also have little bearing on Zach Tuohy’s return, with the defender to play whether Geelong win and reach the preliminary final, or lose and face a semi-final next week, Scott said. Geelong’s entire list will travel for the finals but the fixture is “not quite set in stone”, Scott said. “It’s certainly not the AFL’s fault, they’re moving heaven and earth as far as we can tell, but the goalposts keep getting moved on them.” Scott said the Cats were ready to adapt and “make the best of an ever-changing situation”. “We’re not asking for it to be more chaotic, but we’re ready for it,” he said. AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan told a press conference on Wednesday afternoon that Optus Stadium in Perth was the league’s preferred venue if the MCG is unavailable on grand final day due to Victoria’s COVID-19 situation. Geelong captain Joel Selwood is set to equal club games record-holder Corey Enright when he leads the Cats out against the Power for his 332nd game.

Proud Cat Hawkins reaches milestone

Tom Hawkins is set to reach a milestone he once thought “unachievable” as a young Geelong Cats supporter growing up on a Riverina farm. The big Cats forward made the admission in a press conference on Tuesday prior to his 300th game tonight against Port Adelaide to open Geelong’s finals campaign. “To be here on 299 is a real privilege,” the 33-year-old said. “I’m immensely proud of the fact that I’ve actually been able to represent Geelong. I’m looking forward to hearing from people and embracing the fact that it is a huge milestone.” But Hawkins will have to play his 300th without wife Emma and his daughters watching live at Adelaide Oval because of Victoria’s latest COVID-19 outbreak. “They’re not going to be able to come across and I’m going to be away for a bit which, to be honest, I was shattered about early,” Hawkins said. “I would’ve loved to be able to take my two girls out and have Emma up the race and have my [close] family and friends to the game to watch me play. “Arguably, they’ve been the most important part in my journey. 22 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 27 August, 2021

“I take solace in the fact that I’ve got my teammates there, who are the other part of getting me to where I am today. “There’ll certainly be part of me that wishes things were a little bit different. “That’s life, I’m only going to play 300 games once, and I understand the situation.” Hawkins planned to spend plenty of time with his family before travelling for the qualifying final and, most likely, another lengthy stint interstate. “As of 6pm tonight we are quarantining for our trip to Adelaide,” he said. “I’m going to stay at home and just hang out with my wife Emma and my two girls. “We’ll be playing and not coming back, that’s as much as I know. I’m preparing to be on the road for a bit.” Hawkins said the Cats were embracing the “excitement of what finals bring” ahead of playing the in-form Port Adelaide at home. “There’s no greater challenge than playing a side at the top of their game,” he said. “Our group’s really looking forward to that. “For us it’s just about embracing the finals for 2021.

“We’ve done a lot of hard work to get where we are.” Hawkins has won two premierships at the Cats. But he said overcoming a back injury, form slumps and other adversities had also shaped him as a player. “I’ve experienced a lot of disappointment ... and harder times prepare you for those great successes and milestones that you have along the way,” he said. “I’m in my 15th season and I’m going into my 14th year of finals [so] I’m privileged ... to be able to represent this club that puts us in the best possible shape [to play for a premiership each year]. “You could arguably look back on the last 10 years and we haven’t been able to win a premiership, but we [earn] a chance every year.” The 2020 Coleman medallist said he still felt he had football left in him and a strong passion for the game. “That drive to be able to succeed has kept me in the game for so long.” Hawkins will join Corey Enright, Joel Selwood, Ian Nankervis, Jimmy Bartel and Sam Newman as 300-game Cats tonight.
