Taking aim at the world

By Justin Flynn Geelong has a potential world champion knocking down the door of the darts world.

Brandon Weening, 23, is set to take on the world after qualifying to represent Australia at the World Youth Dart Championships in Wigan, England, this October. He will be competing against 256 players from across the globe.

It was always going to be a path that Brandon would follow.

His father Wayne made seven BDO World

Darts Championship appearances, with his best performance coming in 1993, reaching the quarter-finals. He played in three World Masters in 1991, 1993 and 1995.

“He’s been around the block a few times,” Brandon said. “I started playing back in 2015 when my mum’s friend asked me to come down to the darts club because they might be short and I could sub in and it just stuck.”

Brandon said his dream of international competition has only been made possible by Geelong Greyhound Racing Club, which has donated $2000 for travel expenses.

“I am over the moon that I have this privilege to represent my country,” he said.

“Without the support of the Geelong Greyhound Racing Club this wouldn’t be possible, they are there for me through every high and low, I will always make time for the club.”

Brandon has been a loyal member of the Chiefs A Grade darts team, playing at the Geelong Darts Club since 2019.

Geelong Greyhound Racing Club general manager Ray Bartolo said the club was honoured to sponsor Brandon.

Our family have been proudly conducting funerals in Geelong for four generations.

We are honoured to still be serving the Geelong community as a family owned and operated business.

“We have been sponsoring the Chief’s team since early 2021 and have recently started sponsoring Brandon,” he said.

“It’s great to be able to help a member of our local community achieve their dreams.”

And despite the pedigree, Wayne Weening said his son had done it all by himself.

“I have been in this sport for over 20 years and even I can’t believe how far he has come,” he said. “The sport is his life. He puts in three to six hours of training in a day. He deserves his current title of Australasian Youth Champion.”

Less pumped into pokies Greater Geelong recorded its smallest monthly increase in poker machine losses this financial year in May, Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission data reveals.

According to the data, $11.16 million was lost on the municipality’s 1365 electronic gaming machines (EGMs) in May, an increase of $50,000 from April when $11.11 million was lost. In March, $10.97 million was lost – $140,000 less than in April.

Monash University’s head of gambling and social determinants unit, Associate Professor Charles Livingstone, said it was too early to tell if rising costs of living would impact on pokies spending. “[The results] may be a small ‘blip’ because of

inflation, or it may indeed signal some progress on harm prevention,” he said.

“If real cost of living exceeds wage rises, we may see a continuation of this trend. However, a recession, triggering unemployment, etc, may see increased spending as people become more stressed and anxious about their future.

“Some areas may have relatively high levels of social or economic stress, triggering higher expenditure.”

Associate Professor Livingstone believes there are numerous initiatives communities can adopt to reduce gambling stigmas while simultaneously stressing the harms. “[Avoid] unhelpful terms like ‘problem gambling’, ‘responsible gambling’ and ‘problem

gamble’, [ focus] on the way EGMs are designed to be addictive, and helping increase awareness of their ability to consume significant amounts of money very quickly may be more helpful,” he said. “Communities should also pressure local and state governments to reduce the availability of EGM gambling, through reductions in opening hours and the number of venues and EGMs within communities.”

The commission data shows that $94.86 million has been lost at Geelong’s 26 pokies venues since July 2021.

The data shows that the most money was lost at the Grovedale Hotel, with $3.57 million lost between July and December 2021, followed by the Sphinx Hotel ($3.34 million).

Bee-ing wary of killer varroa mite

12558011-JC28-22

While there’s anxiety brewing among local beekeepers after the detection of a potentially industry-devastating parasite in New South Wales, John Edmonds of Geelong’s Edmonds Honey is confident it will be kept under control.

The offending critters are called varroa mites, and were detected in late June in biosecurity surveillance hives at the Port of Newcastle.

Since then, the mite has been detected at 38 premises in NSW, but are all linked to previously-known cases.

Tens of thousands of bees have been exterminated in an effort to eradicate the parasite and keep Australia the last continent free of the mite.

“In an ideal world, we’re 1000 kilometres away from where [varroa mite] is and under its own movement, it will only travel about 5km a year,” Mr Edmonds said.

“But, the trouble is, when beekeepers move anything around, they move the varroa.

“So how fast can a varroa travel? It travels as fast as a truck.”

Fast-breeding and tiny, the ‘Varroa destructor’ weakens and kills honey bee colonies and can transmit viruses, harming their ability to fly, pollinate and find food.

A varroa outbreak would be disastrous to the Australian agricultural industry too – with crops including apples, almonds and berries reliant on bees for pollination and production.

However, Mr Edmonds’ more than 40 years in the beekeeping industry has given him perspective – particularly because he’s seen a varroa mite outbreak thwarted in Victoria before.

“At this stage, I’m confident it’s looking good,” he said.

Mr Edmonds, who has been trained as part Victoria’s State Quarantine Response Team to protect the industry from incursions of exotic bee pests, said local beekeepers were encouraged to undertake their own sugar shake surveillance tests on their hives.

Australian Honey Bee Industry Council chief executive Danny Le Feuvre said while he was disappointed the mite had made its way to Australia, it wasn’t surprising.

“We’ve been told for years that it’s not the case of if, but when,” Mr Le Feuvre said.

“We as an industry have been prepared for this, we’ve got a number of plans in place to effectively eradicate and if we’re unsuccessful at that, we do have plans for living with the mite as well.”

COVID variants can infect again The duration of the COVID-19 reinfection period has been slashed from 12 weeks to just four, the state government has announced.

Last Friday, The Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) said that COVID reinfections can occur within 28 days, prompting it to recommend that the reinfection period be reduced.

In a statement on Tuesday, the state government said that as of 11.59pm on Tuesday, the period when someone is considered a recently confirmed case (and therefore exempt from testing and isolation/quarantine requirements) has been revised to four weeks, down from 12 weeks. “This reflects the emerging evidence that new variants of COVID-19 can evade prior immunity gained from infection,” the government said.

“Positive cases are still required to isolate for seven days from the day they took their test but an additional reason to leave home has been added – to provide transport for a household member to obtain food, if essential. The infected person will need to remain in the car and wear a face covering at all times.”

The government has also recommended mask wearing in indoor and crowded settings, however there will not be any changes to current face mask requirements. Health Minister Mary-Anne Thomas has also requested employers consider working from home arrangements that are most appropriate for their workplace and employees based on individual requirements.

The government also announce another round of its Small Business Ventilation Grant Program to help businesses invest in equipment that will keep their workers and customers safe in indoor settings, and has launched a ‘Stay Well in Winter’ campaign to boost public health messaging.

“As we’re seeing across the globe and around Australia, winter means more time inside where COVID-19 and the flu can spread. It also means our nurses, ambos and doctors have never worked harder, and we can’t thank them enough,” Ms Thomas said. “We are working with business and community leaders to ensure advice and information is provided to the wider community – to help all Victorians stay well this winter.

“Wearing a mask, getting up to date with your vaccinations and ensuring indoor areas are well ventilated are small but effective steps Victorians and businesses can take to manage their own COVID-19 risk this winter.”

New life planned for heritage site The redevelopment of the historic Osborne House in North Geelong has moved into the final design stage.

Following a two-stage process with two interested parties, the City of Greater Geelong is progressing to the final stage of the process with Gurner and Montgomery Property.

The final design stage, which will include developing agreed commercial terms, designs and uses, is expected to take about four months to complete.

Osborne House was built in 1858 for local squatter Robert Muirhead, who named the mansion after Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s summer residence on the Isle of Wight, England.

Osborne House portfolio, thanked all the parties involved in the project to date.

“We are excited to have progressed to this point, and are closing in on developing a solution that enhances Osborne House’s

heritage assets while realising its potential for greater community use,” Cr Kontelj said.

“This is about ensuring that the history, significance and public access to the site are protected for decades to come.”

In committing to retaining public ownership of Osborne House, council has allocated a total of $8 million over the next four years towards the restoration and redevelopment project.

An expressions of interest process was launched last year to find potential partners willing to invest in a shared vision for the future of the site as a community and cultural heritage precinct.

Councillor Anthony Aitken, deputy chair of the Osborne House portfolio, said the community’s long-held ambition to see the site

brought back to life was now close to reality.

“This is such a loved and historically significant part of Geelong – it deserves to be restored in a way that does it justice and returns it as a focal point for our community,” Cr Aitken said.

“In moving to the final design stage we are excited by the possibilities and looking forward to finalising a vision and use of the precinct.”

The city has already carried out more than $500,000 worth of improvement works to Osborne House.

This includes the underpinning and stabilisation of the stable walls, façade repairs and painting, and repair or replacement of windows and French doors in the main bluestone building.

Bus company contract renewed

Clubs go blue for road safety round Football clubs across the AFL Barwon region will band together donning blue armbands for TAC Road Safety Round in honour of every life lost on our roads.

The round – a joint effort by the Victorian Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and AFL Victoria – was first played in 2019 to promote leadership and advocacy for road safety amongst some of our most at-risk road users and serve as a reminder that we all have a reason to drive safely.

Regional roads continue to be overrepresented on the road accident and death toll with 126 people dying last year compared to 85 in metro areas. People driving on regional roads travel longer distances and at higher speeds, meaning when mistakes happen the consequences are often worse.

Anglesea captain Ash Caldwell said his club was right behind the day.

“Road Safety is an important issue for us at Anglesea Football Club,” he said.

“Some of us travel long distances and at high-speeds to get to and from our games and training so we understand we need to take road safety seriously.”

Clubs can extend their support and involvement in the TAC Road Safety Round, with all AFL Victoria-affiliated clubs given the opportunity to take part and earn up to $10,000 in funding by promoting road safety to their community as part of the TAC Club Rewards Program.

CDC Victoria, which operates a fleet of buses servicing Geelong’s northern suburbs, has had its regional bus services contract renewed.

The renewed 10-year contract came into effect from July 1 and will cover major route services, some school services, and some V/Line services in Ballarat, Geelong and Mildura.

The new contracts are modernised to deliver improved bus services, improved customer experience and greater transparency of bus performance, CDC said.

CDC Victoria currently employs over 300 employees and operates over 240 buses in regional Victoria.

CDC Victoria chief executive Jeff Wilson said he was excited with the company’s transition to the new contract arrangements and committed to delivering a great outcome for the regional communities.

“CDC Victoria is pleased to continue to provide long-term employment opportunities for our regional people,” he said.

“We are proud to have a huge diversity in our workforce and this long-term contract will enable us to continue to contribute to better social outcomes for regional communities.

“Another important facet of these contracts is transitioning to zero-emission vehicle technologies commencing in 2025 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

“CDC is very experienced with the zero-emission buses internationally and the reduction of our environmental footprints is key to our sustainability.”

Green light for Bannockburn water plan to cater for growth Golden Plains Shire Council will develop the Bannockburn Integrated Water Management (IWM) Plan after securing funding from the state government.

The Bannockburn IWM Plan will review water in the township and surrounding areas to establish a plan that improves the overall liveability of the town by ensuring there is enough water for waterways, residents, businesses and the agriculture sector in Bannockburn, while also maintaining green spaces.

Funded by $70,000 from the Victorian 4 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 15 July, 2022

government’s IWM Grants Program, the Bannockburn IWM Plan will provide a guide to help mitigate anticipated water related issues for the Bannockburn region.

Water in the region is expected to be impacted by the population growth of Bannockburn and climate changes, with rainfall expected to decrease across Golden Plains Shire, council said.

The plan will align with the Bannockburn Growth Plan, which was incorporated into the Golden Plains Shire Planning Scheme in September 2021 and guides the sustainable

growth of Bannockburn to the year 2050, catering for 18,000 new residents.

Golden Plains Shire mayor Gavin Gamble welcomed the Victorian government’s investment in the Bannockburn IWM Plan.

“Establishing an Integrated Water Management Plan for Bannockburn has been a priority for council and the Barwon IWM Forum, which includes local councils, water authorities, the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority and state government agencies, for a number of years,” he said.

“Bannockburn is set to grow significantly over the next few years and it’s vital that council, and other relevant water authorities, have an established IWM plan to manage water effectively to support the growing residential population, while ensuring water access for local businesses and the agriculture sector.

“We are pleased funding has been secured to deliver the Bannockburn IWM Plan as part of the IWM Grants Program and thank the Victorian government for their investment in this important project.”

Health conditions more common

By Justin Flynn There are more people in Greater Geelong living with a long-term health condition than the statewide and national average, according to Census data released last month.

Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ 2021 Census revealed Greater Geelong residents rated higher than the averages in every long-term health condition listed on the Census form.

They are more likely to be living with a mental health condition (11.1 per cent of respondents ) than the statewide (8.8 per cent)

and national average (8.8 per cent).

Asthma sufferers (9.8 per cent) were more plentiful (8.4 per cent statewide, 8.1 per cent nationwide), as were people with arthritis (9.3 per cent in Geelong, 8 per cent in Victoria, 8.5 per cent nationwide).

A total of 11,830 people reported having heart disease, including angina and heart attack (4.4 per cent), which was above average for the state (3.7 per cent) and the country (3.9 per cent).

Cancer figures, including those in remission, were also higher with 3.2 per cent of responders ticking the Census form box

compared to the state (2.8 per cent) and nation (2.9 per cent).

Dementia figures were relatively stable as were lung conditions and stroke.

Public health physician Dr Akhtar Hussain said age was likely the contributing factor to the data.

“A number of factors are likely to contribute towards Geelong’s higher than average number of long-term health conditions, including age, access to healthcare, and more importantly how data is being presented,” Dr Hussain said.

“The latest ABS data has shown a relatively

higher proportion of Geelong area population being 60 years or older as compared to state average.

“We know many of the long-term chronic conditions reported in the recent census data are associated with increasing age and this could portray that Greater Geelong residents have more long-term health issues than the rest of the state average.”

Greater Geelong’s median age is 39, while the median age across Victoria and the nation was 38, l but the region was ‘older’ than the rest of the state and country for those aged over 60, according to the Census.

Connecting to Country Junior Rangers and their families will be able to connect to Wadawurrung Country, with Parks Victoria’s first Connection to Country Wadawurrung Junior Ranger booklet, developed in partnership with the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners.

Wadawurrung woman and community engagement ranger Ebonee Cook wrote the educational resource, working alongside members of the Wadawurrung Traditional Owner Aboriginal Corporation.

“Developing this booklet has been a great accomplishment in my career with Parks Victoria,” Ebonee said.

“Collaborating with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation has provided the opportunity to educate others about Wadawurrung culture and the importance of caring for Country.

“This booklet is a reminder that Wadawurrung culture is strong. Wadawurrung

People have cared for and sustainably managed these lands for thousands of years.

“However, caring for Country is something that everyone can do. Connecting others to culture, provides a sense of appreciation and contributes to a collaborative approach to looking after Country. If Country is healthy, we all benefit.”

Wadawurrung visual artist Jenna Oldaker’s artwork features throughout the booklet.

“As we travel across Wadawurrung Country from left to right, we can see Youang (big hill) region, kangaroo tracks, tree leaves, a platypus (Perridak), Bundjil the eagle (the spirit creator of Wadawurrung Country) returning boomerangs, and the symbol for fire,” she said.

Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation’s Chase Aghan said the booklet was a great way for the younger geenration to start a conversation about how Country is managed today.

Harnessing the talent of local performers is just another way council is bringing colour, fun and music to Central Geelong.

Our Music in the City series offers homegrown artists, musicians and street performers the chance to make Little Malop Street mall their stage.

We’re proud to be investing $100,000 in the program, which provides performances in Central Geelong from noon to 2pm each weekday this year.

The monthly schedule of performances is published on the Love Central Geelong website so you can look out for free performances to enjoy on your lunch break, or while shopping, dining or seeing friends or family in the city.

Over the next week there will be free performances from Ocean Grove independent singer-songwriter Andrea Robertson, beloved local duo Sam and Trish from The Gems, and indie-folk, rock, pop outfit Rach Brennan and Bethany Lyall-Green.

The activation program follows consultation with Victoria Police, community groups, traders and property owners about the ways we can all work together to improve public amenity and safety in Central Geelong.

We’re very lucky to have these top-quality performers take part of our wider program to improve the Little Malop Street mall and introduce consistent activations to help the mall become a more appealing place where people feel safe and enjoy spending time.

The activations follow a decision from council in 2019 that also delivered a new stage and three precincts in the mall.

The three precincts aim to attract different groups of people to the area with a live entertainment and events area, a socialising and eating area, and a children’s play area.

Getting the basics right is a top priority for all of us at the City of Greater Geelong, and we also have cleaners pounding the pavements to keep areas such as Little Malop Street and Moorabool Street clean.

We hope the community will enjoy this wonderful program of free entertainment in Little Malop Street mall over the rest of the year and the growing variety of live music you can see in Geelong.

We’re also looking forward to hosting the Geelong’s Best Busker presented by Steve Thew. This year’s event will be delivered across multiple locations in central Geelong and on the waterfront on Saturday, December 17.

Earlier this year Geelong hosted the landmark Foo Fighters gig at GMHBA Stadium thanks to the Victorian government’s Always Live program.

The Foo Fighters event was a sign that Geelong is going through a real renaissance

and major events are going to be so important for the future of our city.

The Foo Fighters gig surpassed the spending we would typically expect to see in the days leading up to Christmas.

Meanwhile our first Surround Sounds festival helped activate venues in Geelong and The Bellarine across four weeks in April.

The city is continuing to work with event organisers to ensure there’s plenty of other major events coming up to help our hospitality, retail and tourism industries recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The return of White Night Geelong in October will kick-off a bumper month of major events, including the ICC T20 Men’s Cricket World Cup and the return of local family favourites the Royal Geelong Show and the Geelong Cup. We hope to see you at these major events or out enjoying the wonderful talent from across our region.

Geelong to host Games hockey Geelong will welcome some of the world’s best hockey players when the Commonwealth Games comes to town in four years.

Stead Park will host the hockey tournament as well as aquatics, para swimming, beach volleyball, gymnastics, table tennis, para table tennis, triathlon and para triathlon.

Stead Park is the home of Hockey Geelong and currently features two synthetic pitches,

one sand and one hybrid.

At Gold Coast 2018, 360 players from 11 nations competed in hockey. A sport with a rich history in Australia, the Kookaburras have won every men’s team gold medal at the Commonwealth Games since 1994 and the Hockeyroos are four-time women’s champions.

“Geelong is a proud sporting city, and the Commonwealth Games will deliver great

benefit to the entire community through improved infrastructure and exposure on the world stage,” Commonwealth Games Delivery Minister Jacinta Allan said.

“Victoria 2026 will provide a boost to jobs, hospitality and the local economy and allows use to share our incredible regional communities with the rest of the world.”

The Games will be held from March 17 and

29, 2026, with a bumper 12 days of competition between the Commonwealth’s best athletes across regional Victoria, allowing the regions to shine on the world stage.

As a regional hub alongside Ballarat, Bendigo and Gippsland, Geelong is expected to benefit significantly from the Games, including the creation of additional housing, world-class sports facilities and thousands of jobs.

Volunteers plant hectares of trees for koalas Volunteers have planted 3600 trees in Balliang to help protect threatened koalas, birds and flying foxes, with another 4400 to be planted in coming weeks.

The Koala Clancy Foundation is an independent charity that advocates for the protection of koalas.

The group’s president Janine Duffy said the 8000 tree project is so big, it can be seen from the Geelong-Bacchus Marsh Road.

“The Grey Box woodlands of Balliang were once important to animals like koalas, Grey-headed Flying-foxes, Black Falcons and Barking Owls,” Ms Duffy said.

“Many of the animals that lived in or used the Grey Box forests are now endangered, so we are putting some of that ecosystem back.

“The project is restoring a huge 10 hectare area.”

The site was once part of a eucalypt forest, but was cleared for farmland in the early 1900s.

Each plant is specifically chosen to help target the needs of 16 threatened species, including birds, mammals, reptiles and insects.

Ms Duffy said the trees could be used by animals within “two to four years”.

The project was funded by the International Fund for Animal Welfare, and Greater Geelong council, through their environment sustainability grant program.

Ms Duffy also encourages people to attend the next planting on Sunday, July 24, which she hopes will be the session that completes the project.

Boat users urged to be vigilant

By Helena Abdou The Coroner has urged recreational boat users to be vigilant after the deaths of three men last year.

Coroner Audrey Jamieson said the incidents highlighted the importance of education and competency training.

“Recreational boating is an integral part of the lifestyle of many Victorians,” Ms Jamieson said.

“All persons operating a vessel or persons onboard should be aware of the incidental risks of undertaking such activities, especially

in locations that entail heightened risk.”

Queenscliff Coast Guard commander Michael Donohue said there were a number of safety precautions people should take before heading out onto the water.

“Take good care of your vessel before you go out, make sure everything’s running well.

Make sure you’ve had it serviced and it’s in good operating order. Always wear a lifejacket at all times, even if you’re not in an area where you’re not required to. Keep it on at all times.”

Mr Donohue said people were all too often inadequately prepared for their trip.

“Some of the more common mistakes

people make is they’re not sure of where they’re going. They’re not familiar with their surroundings that can cause them to run into shallow water and run aground that can cause them to run into rocks and do damage to their vessel,” he said.

“The other part of that is they’re not familiar with the channel markers and indicators of where it’s safe to boat.

“The other dangerous part about boating at Queenscliff is the route, which is the entrance to Port Phillip, and you can get, depending on the tidal conditions, quite extreme and sudden wave actions through the rip

that cause difficulty.

“We had a boat overturned just out of the rip last year and fortunately, the young fellows that were in the boat were all wearing life jackets, were capable swimmers and were able to get out of the circumstance.”

He also encourages people to be cautious of their surroundings and get help if needed.

“People need to understand that the ocean can be a little dangerous and if you’re inexperienced or unfamiliar with the region, then speak to people with local knowledge.

Contact the coast guard if you’re going out and find out what issues there may be.”

Families raise more than $31,000 The dedication of a terminally ill mother has helped raise more than $31,000 for the Love Your Sister charity.

Event organiser Annaliese Szocs partnered with Gold Logie winning actor Samuel Johnson OAM and his charity, Love Your Sister, to deliver a Family Fun Day at Geelong Racing Club on July 3.

The day provided both a fantastic outing for Greater Geelong families and a significant boost to cancer charity Love Your Sister’s scientific research fund.

What sets this event apart from your typical fundraiser, is that Annaliese organised it while she and her daughter were both extremely unwell with COVID-19.

There was also the challenge of sitting in a treatment chair in the Chemotherapy Day

Unit Andrew Love Cancer Centre receiving fortnightly targeted therapy treatments, and the resulting side effects, to work around.

And if that wasn’t enough, it was the first large-scale event Annaliese had organised since working in hotel sales and marketing in New Zealand 20 years ago.

“Love Your Sister is the only Cancer Charity in Australia where 100 per cent of all donations goes to scientific research,” she said. “Samuel Johnson and his team are such wonderful, inspiring people and I am incredibly honoured to have had the privilege of organising this event on their behalf. It was a massive challenge, but I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

“Samuel’s sister Connie wanted to ensure that no other family goes through the pain of losing a loved one to cancer, and I’m here to

help make that happen.”

Annaliese received a shock stage 4 bowel cancer diagnosis in April 2020 at the age of 42.

Having lost her own mother to bowel cancer when she was 11, Annaliese was determined that her daughter Zita, 4, would not face the same fate.

“Cancer is cancer, no matter where it starts in the body,” she said. “It is an evil disease that destroys families, lives, and dreams.

“I am incredibly grateful to everyone who supported the Love Your Sister events over the weekend, and to every single person who attended the Family Fun Day. “The large number of people who came to that event really does show Geelong at its best making a real difference to the lives of people with cancer and their families.”

Plastic-free advocate Anne Marie Bonneau believes we don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly, we need millions of people doing it imperfectly.

The statement resonates with Bellarine Catchment Network (BCN) sustainability and circular economy co-ordinator Rebecca St Ledger.

“Start somewhere small, start with just your water bottle, one item in your life that you think ‘yep, i can swap that out’,” she said. “It leads gradually to more and more habit changes, you definitely don’t need to be a hero and try and solve the world’s problems straight away.”

A recent report from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the Australian government agency responsible for scientific research, indicated that plastic along the nation’s beaches had decreased by almost a third.

Ms St Ledger said the plastic problem along the coast is “getting better”.

“Particularly on the Bellarine, where we have really engaged towns of citizens who are so passionate and committed about going out and collecting litter and really tackling plastic pollution in their towns,” she said. “Wherever we had citizens doing regular clean ups, and regularly auditing for pollution, it would drop by 80 per cent.”

While the beach clean ups are helping to deal with a situation that’s “gotten out of hand already”, Ms St Ledger is asking people to think about how to stop the problem at the source.

For community members wanting to help, Ms St Ledger recommends joining a local clean up group, but also says “we can all make a difference” by looking at our own waste habits.

“Have a bag with you, take rubbish home … care for your own rubbish, make sure you’re being a good citizen,” she said.

‘More trains, more often’: Works progressing on railway The state government has appointed a contractor to deliver the next stage of railway upgrades as part of the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds duplication.

The works will allow five train services per hour during the peaks and three per hour between the peaks to be extended to Marshall and Waurn Ponds.

The Djilang Alliance – comprising McConnell Dowell, Downer, Arup and WSP – will duplicate about eight kilometres of track, upgrade South Geelong and Marshall stations and remove level crossings at Fyans Street and 8 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 15 July, 2022

Surf Coast Highway.

The level crossing at Barwon Heads Road is also being removed as part of the Barwon Heads Road upgrade.

Early works are under way, including the relocation of a Barwon Water pipeline next to the existing track.

Major construction for the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds duplication will start later this year, with works on track for completion in late 2024.

Work is also progressing on a new train stabling facility in Waurn Ponds to house

VLocity trains overnight – providing much-needed storage to support the additional services the major upgrades underway will bring to the line.

Major earthworks on the stabling facility are due to be completed soon, with more than 14,000 cubic metres of material excavated to prepare the foundations, rail formation and road pavements at the stabling yard, which will support extended services for passengers between South Geelong and Waurn Ponds.

The recently completed Waurn Ponds

Station upgrade has already provided passengers with access to 20 extended peak and off-peak services at the station each week, with two every morning and two in the evening on weekdays.

“We’re getting on with upgrades to Victoria’s busiest regional rail line to improve safety and provide more trains, more often to the growing community,” Transport Infrastructure Minister Jacinta Allan said.

“These upgrades will better connect locals and visitors to the Geelong region for years to come.”

Nominate for a disability award Nominations for the Geelong Awards for People with Disability have opened.

The awards celebrate people with disability in Greater Geelong who are doing outstanding work in advocacy, leadership and empowering others.

After two years of virtual awards ceremonies, this year’s awards will be held in-person on Friday, December 2.

Now in its seventh year, and its third year delivered by the council in partnership with genU, the awards program is an important part of the city’s work in building an accessible and inclusive community for all while celebrating the achievements of those with disability.

Previous awards have recognised recipients leading in their chosen fields, advocating for equal treatment and access for those with disability and empowering those around them.

Last year, Justine Martin was the recipient of the Achievement Award, which recognises someone who has achieved a significant milestone in any area.

Eleven years ago Justine was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and was told that she would never be able to work again.

Since then, Justine changed tack with her career and has become a published author and illustrator while also running art wellness

classes for other people with a disability.

Justine said the awards are important because they highlight the diversity within the community and help break down stereotypes.

“It’s huge to be recognised for an award in the disability sector, and I feel very humbled,” she said. “These awards are important to help inspire other people with disabilities and show them there are more opportunities available than they might think.

“The awards also show the wider community how capable people with disabilities are, and hopefully will encourage employers to consider how they can be more inclusive in their recruitment processes.”

Nominations can be made in the following categories: • Achievement Award – recognising someone who has achieved a significant milestone or success in any area; • Leadership and Advocacy Award – recognising someone who has led or advocated for others to achieve a considerable outcome or advancement; and • Volunteering Award – recognising someone who has demonstrated exceptional commitment or made a substantial contribution towards empowering and developing others in a voluntary capacity.

NEWS GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

Horse trainer fined almost $7k A Lovely Banks horse trainer has been fined for failing to comply with compliance notices requiring her to back-pay two young workers and failing to issue the workers with pay slips.

Jessica Lee Schneider, a sole trader who operates a business trading as Vengeance Performance Horses at Lovely Banks, was fined $6660 by the Federal Circuit and Family Court.

The workers, aged 16 and 21 during their employment, were employed part-time at Ms Schneider’s business for periods of about three months and six months, until January 2021.

They performed various duties associated with training and caring for horses.

The court has also ordered Ms Schneider to comply with the compliance notices.

The compliance notices require Ms Schneider to back-pay the workers in full.

Fair Work Ombudsman Sandra Parker said business operators that fail to act on compliance notices need to be aware they can face court-imposed penalties on top of having to back-pay workers.

“When compliance notices are not followed, we are prepared to take legal action to ensure workers receive their lawful entitlements,” Ms Parker said. “Protecting vulnerable workers, including young workers, remains a priority for

us. Any employees with concerns about their pay or entitlements should contact us for free advice and assistance.”

The Fair Work Ombudsman investigated after receiving requests for assistance from the affected workers.

Two compliance notices were issued in March 2021 after an inspector formed a belief that the workers had been underpaid minimum wages and weekend penalty rates under the Miscellaneous Award 2020. Judge Amanda Mansini found Ms Schneider’s non-compliance with the compliance notices was indicative of her “prioritisation of her own interests over her

responsibilities as an employer”.

“In my view, (Ms Schneider’s) conduct demonstrates a failure to recognise the seriousness of her non-compliance with a statutory notice and a failure to properly acknowledge the loss suffered by the employees,” Judge Mansini said.

Judge Mansini found there was a need to impose a penalty to deter similar conduct.

“It is vital that the penalty be imposed at a level which is sufficient as not to simply constitute a cost of doing business in the event that a disgruntled employee or regulator may investigate,” Judge Mansini said.

Focus on Friend in Me Moved by the story of a child being left behind on their birthday, Geelong’s Louise Larkin decided to make a change by organising a birthday party for all children in her area in 2017. The party attracted over 300 locals.

Quitting her full-time corporate job to focus on Friend In Me, it is now a not-for-profit organisation that promotes social inclusion and acceptance for children through sensory-friendly events, workshops and parties.

Friend In Me also offers retreats to parents of kids with disabilities with the goal of creating a respite house for the parents of socially-challenged kids.

“At the time I was working in a corporate sales role and was driving home from work when I heard this story of a young boy who had no one come to his party,” Louise said.

“With daughters of my own, I knew I wanted to make a change and make sure this didn’t keep happening to children.”

Sunbites Good Fuel Fund has donated $25,000 to Friend in Me. Sunbites Good Fuel Fund is an initiative designed to fuel local charities and shine a light on the charity heroes behind them doing good in their communities.

“We are delighted to be receiving the $25,000 donation from the Sunbites Good Fuel Fund which will help us to continue providing workshops, events and parties whilst also helping us to educate businesses and schools on how they can make sure all kids feel included,” Louise said. “Our overall vision is to make sure there is no child left behind by 2030, creating an opportunity for all kids to be understood.

“Through Friend In Me, we want kids to continue smiling when they walk away from our events and feel accepted no matter where they are.

They need to be smiling in society and life itself.”

Jones brings in $30k for club

By Justin Flynn

“The Ocean Grove boys came into our changerooms after the game and had a few beers with our players. You don’t see that very often nowadays.

“He (Jones) left at about 9pm and signed every jumper and was just great with the kids.”

Mr Cogger said the money from the day would go towards strengthening the club’s already impressive junior program.

Senior coach Peter O’Connor is standing down after three years in the job and the club is on the lookout for a replacement.

“We just have to make some mileage and improve our onfield performance,” Mr Cogger said. “I’ve already had phone calls from people wanting to help us.

“We’ve demonstrated we’ve got the club, but we just need to see results now.”

Portarlington Football Netball Club made an estimated $30,000 from Saturday’s one-off appearance by former Melbourne captain and 302-gamer Nathan Jones.

Club president Steve Cogger said between 2500 and 3000 spectators flocked to Portarlington Recreation Reserve to see Jones run onto the field against Ocean Grove in the Bellarine Football League on July 8.

The event was part of the Carlton Draft, where eight ex-AFL stars were drafted out to struggling Victorian country clubs for a cameo appearance.

Mr Cogger said the day was a huge success.

“It was a happy crowd,” he said.

“They wanted to be there, they were having a ball. If we had an aim, we achieved it.

“We promoted ourselves nicely to the AFL and Foxtel and everyone else.

“People were saying what a great day it was around town.”

Jones booted the first goal of the game much to the delight of even the Ocean Grove supporters and finished with two for the day.

Ocean Grove spoiled the party somewhat with a 74-point win.

“You couldn’t have scripted it any better,” Mr Cogger said. “You’d think you were at the MCG, it was that loud.

“Credit to Ocean Grove footy club - they got right behind it too. They had a big crowd of their own.”

Mr Cogger said Jones fully embraced the occasion.

“I’d never met him before, but heard him speak at a dinner I went to and I’m a Melbourne supporter,” he said.

“He was so good. The Ocean Grove boys asked if he could come into their rooms and speak before the game and he did.

FRIDAY FEATURE GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

Good things to those who wait Torquay artist Martine Oderio talks about the Surf Coast Arts Trail, which will feature more than 200 artists across 60 venues next month.

W

hen Martine Oderio unveiled shared makers’ space The Light Box in mid-2020, she could not have imagined how many times the pandemic would force its closure.

It’s why opening the doors for the Surf Coast Arts Trail for the first time will be extra special for the Torquay studio.

“I have always loved visiting studios and meeting local artists, so I am excited to now be offering that to others,” she says.

“Also, as a relatively new space that has been through periods of closure, it is super cool to have the chance to meet more creatives and those who appreciate creativity.”

The 2022 Surf Coast Arts Trail 10th anniversary – Take 2! will be held on August 6 and 7 and will showcase more than 200 artists across 60 venues. The Light Box Torquay, located in the Cylinders industrial precinct in the north of Torquay, will give patrons insights into a shared makers’ space.

“We house permanent artist studios, classes, and casual art-making opportunities, while there’s also a shop of our products and artworks,” Martine says.

“During Arts Trail weekend, people will be able to tour the studio spaces and also be involved in art-making processes through watching a demo, or creating their own pieces.

I’m so very excited to be part of the event. I have been a trail-goer for several years now, and am looking forward to being an exhibitor.”

The Light Box was created to replicate the inspiring energy that Martine – a ceramics creative – enjoyed in her university art department.

“Now, every day I get to make art surrounded

by amazing people and new ideas,” she says.

The permanent artists have their own studio spaces to work and store their materials, and everyone can use the shared making areas.

“Teachers facilitate classes and workshops of a wide variety of mediums in the classroom spaces, so anyone can come and have fun too. I am just loving the collective buzz of creativity in the factory.”

That “collective buzz of creativity” was first soaked up as an eight-year-old, when she took part in her first art class.

“I’ve been taking or teaching art classes and workshops ever since,” Marine said.

“I’ve never considered myself an artist, more of just a curious creative. I love working with my hands and playing with form, colour, and creative expression. I am always looking to learn new techniques and mediums and enjoy the process of exploration.”

Martine’s ceramics label Dinah’s Beach Shack is a conceptual place by the sea, where all beautiful things live.

“I am everyday inspired by life on the coast and the creatures that inhabit it,” she says.

“My return to ceramics really took off during the lockdowns. I initially embarked on a little gift venture with a good friend, and as life

evolved out of the pandemic, I went out on my own focusing on tableware and functional ceramics for the home.”

The Surf Coast Arts Trail welcomes all mediums – pottery to blacksmithing, painting to jewellery, printmaking to woodworking, and much more.

This year will feature more collaborative spaces such as The Light Box, where trailgoers can take in various artists in the one venue.

MY GEELONG Ty Simons, and his wife Rachael, are well known for being the owners of one of Ocean Grove’s most popular cafes – Driftwood Cafe. Ty speaks to Justin Flynn about what he loves about Ocean Grove.

What is your connection to Ocean Grove?

My great-grandparents moved here in the late ‘30s, then my grandparents just before the war. There wasn’t much here then. They owned farmland in what was the outskirts of Ocean Grove – the ‘Old OG’ corner of Thacker and Tuckfield streets. I wish they had kept a slice for me. I moved to Melbourne when I was 20. Then I travelled to the UK in my mid-20 for six months. I stayed for 12 years. I met my wife, Rachael in London but she grew up in Nambucca. We moved back to Melbourne in 2009, started having kids and wanted to bring them up as we had been, in smaller communities by the beach. So we moved back to Ocean Grove and opened Driftwood.

What do you like about where you live?

I love the sense of community in Ocean Grove. The day after we moved back here our next door neighbours brought us a box of chocolates and welcomed us to town. After living in big cities where everyone sticks to themselves, it was nice to move into a small town community again. Despite the town growing so big, we are all part of one big neighbourhood.

What, if anything, would you change about where you live?

The traffic! Who would have thought there would be congestion in OG? My mum, Marie, 12 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 15 July, 2022

Tell us something people would be surprised to know about you I have lived in more than 25 houses in my life, plus countless places travelling the world.

Rach and I took the very long way home and travelled for 13 months around the globe.

Moving house is just never fun. It is time we stayed put. Rach and I, with the expert help of my dad, are going to build a Passive House in Ocean Grove. It will be a lot of work but something we can work on together and even the kids are keen to get involved. It will be a quiet, comfortable, super energy efficient home for our four wonderful kids to grow up in. One in which we can grow old.

always said she would move out when “Ocean Grove got traffic lights”. Well, she is still here and there are more lights needed.

Where is your favourite local place to spend time?

The beach is great of course but I reckon the

best kept secret is the Nature Reserve.

What a beautiful, peaceful gem on the Bellarine. A relaxing reminder of what once covered a lot of our region.

With all of the development going on around it, it is vital we keep this parcel of land as natural as possible.

How does Driftwood Cafe contribute to the local community?

We support the local community, sports associations and schools where we can, but we certainly feel that this is a two way agreement.

The past couple of years have been tough for us all, the way the town rallied around local business and supported each other was fantastic.

We have a great base of regulars, some who live here all year and some that come and go on weekends and holidays.

I think the next 12 months are going to be tough for small businesses, but I am confident that Ocean Grove will continue to support us all and keep the town flourishing.

Hide and seek: A team of international experts search for fugitives in Hunted.

AGATHA RAISIN ABC TV, Friday, 8pm

Amateur sleuthing is nothing short of a delight in this cosy British series based on the bestselling books and starring Ashley Jensen (pictured). Don’t expect a hard-boiled detective bogged down in a gritty, depressing case; rather there’s cache of small-town eccentrics, along with Agatha herself, who is just as preoccupied with her colourful wardrobe as the quirky cases she cracks.

In tonight’s sugary concoction, Wilkes (Jason Barnett) hires Agatha to investigate the death of one of the judges at a jam-making competition.

BEAUTY AND THE GEEK Nine, Monday, 7.30pm

Of all the reality-TV shows out there, this one is a contender for the most fun and most silly. At a family-friendly time, the show’s moral of never judging a person by their looks is thrown on its head when the extreme makeovers commence. Sophie Monk (pictured) returns for her second season as the host with the megawatt smile and a promise that the journey of self-acceptance and discovery will “make you laugh and also make you cry”.

You’ll cringe too, but that’s part of the fun.

MIRIAM MARGOLYES: AUSTRALIA UNMASKED ABC TV, Tuesday, 8.30pm HUNTED 10, Sunday, 7.30pm

We’ve all probably had a moment where we’ve fantasised about disappearing without a trace, right? Perhaps we were sitting at our mind-numbing office desk job, or been surrounded by screaming kids, but the idea of doing a runner has probably crossed everyone’s mind. After all, even just considering how you’d pull off a disappearing feat is a compelling distraction. In this high-energy new series filmed around Victoria, nine pairs of everyday Australians are challenged to pull a Houdini and vanish, but they’ll have experts including police, intelligence and private investigators on their tails.

With $100,000 up for grabs, it’s an adrenaline-filled spectacle.

She’s a star of the stage and screen, but British expat Miriam Margolyes (pictured) is perhaps most loved for calling it as she sees it. With a wry sense of humour and a strong sense of empathy, the Harry Potter actress doesn’t bite her tongue. Margolyes is exploring how the pandemic has changed us and how the Aussie notion of a “fair go” has evolved. In the premiere of this intimate adventure, the 80-yearold heads to Tasmania, where the history of LGBTQIA+ rights is examined.

Rental squeeze as vacancy falls The rental vacancy rate in parts of Geelong has fallen below the national vacancy rate of 1 per cent, new data reveals.

Latest property and rental data from SQM Research shows that in Leopold, Moolap, Corio, Norlane and North Shore, the vacancy rate in June was 0.4 per cent.

In Hamlyn Heights, Bell Park and Bell Post Hill, the vacancy rate was 0.7 per cent, while it was 0.8 per cent in Newcomb, St Albans Park, Whittington and Thomson, and 0.9 per cent in Geelong West, Manifold Heights, erne Hill, Fyansford and Lara, according to the data.

Everybody’s Home spokesperson Kate Colvin said a healthy vacancy rate sits between 2 to 3 per cent, where there’s roughly the same amount of renters as there are rental properties on the market.

Ms Colvin said the vacancy rate in parts of Geelong is “really low” and suggests there’s more renters looking for properties than there are properties available.

“That’s where you end up with big increases in rents, because all of that competition means that real estate agents can see that even if they increase the price for the property, they’ll still be able to rent it out,” Ms Colvin said.

“Often they do take that opportunity.”

According to Department of Families, Fairness and Housing quarterly data ending in March, the median cost of renting a home in Greater Geelong was $430 a week, above the statewide average of $400.

The state government has made an effort to combat regional Victoria’s housing struggles through the Big Housing Build initiative, with 18 regional municipalities receiving a share of $1.25 billion in funding.

As part of the program, 27 social housing homes are being built in Ormond Road, Geelong East.

The new homes will replace the 18 existing ageing social housing homes at the site, delivering much-needed growth of social and affordable housing in regional Victoria, according to the state government.

Ms Colvin said while Everybody’s Home welcomed the state government’s investment, she said it needed to continue beyond its wrap date of 2024 to make a dent in the consequences of “a decade of housing neglect”.

“While the Victorian state government has invested in social housing, we will only start to see significant change once we see a significant promise from the federal government as well.”

Viva Energy awards are back Viva Energy’s volunteer recognition program is returning for 2022 with a new name and an expanded series of awards after a two-year hiatus.

Now known as the Viva Energy Community Legends Awards, the program looks to discover and recognise local heroes who offer their time, expertise and passion to help others in the Geelong region.

The awards have been expanded to include all types of volunteers in structured community groups ranging from grassroots sporting clubs to cultural associations, support groups and representatives of diverse minority associations.

This year, with an overall prize pool of over $75,000, the award categories include, Community Legend of the Year, the Rising Star Award (ages 16-26), the People’s Choice Award and 10 Community Legend Finalists with winners, finalists and their respective community groups and organisations receiving a share of the prize money.

Viva Energy Geelong Refinery executive general manager Dale Cooper said the program aligns with the company’s commitment to give

back to the community.

“Viva Energy’s volunteer recognition program began in 2017, originally known as the Club Legends Award and focused on volunteers at local sporting clubs,” he said.

“After a couple of years’ break due to COVID, we decided to relaunch the program this year in an expanded format that captures the efforts of a broader range of the great volunteers who do so much for the local community and deserve more recognition. We believe it is important to have a platform to recognise the efforts of these selfless people who do so much for others and contribute to Geelong’s wonderful community.”

Nominations are now open, with entries closing on Sunday, August 14. Voting for the People’s Choice Award will commence on Monday, August 29 via a dedicated Facebook page.

Winners will be announced at an exclusive awards ceremony on Tuesday, October 4 at GMHBA Stadium.

ENVIRONMENT

Bids aplenty, but where are the flame robins?

I spent a Saturday morning walking around the farm in Wallington where I conduct a seasonal bird survey.

Usually, this time of year there are flame robins on the farm, as they are altitudinal migrants that fly to coastal areas in the winter, but I disappointingly did not see or hear one of these beautiful birds.

I saw a black swan sitting on a nest (these birds must get so cold nesting in winter) and striated pardalotes, red wattlebirds, black-winged stilts and one brown goshawk.

Probably the most notable birds I have seen in the last few weeks was a flock of about 20 red-necked stints and one curlew sandpiper in Point Henry.

These migratory waders must be over-wintering around Point Henry and did not fly to Siberia and west Alaska to breed.

Usually, these birds arrive in Australia from late August to September and leave from early March to mid-April. Some young birds, such as birds in their first year, may remain in Australia.

I received a lovely email from Lyn in Portarlington. Lyn had some advice for Sue, who was wanting to photograph yellow-tailed black cockatoos on the Bellarine. Lyn explained that she observes and hears these

Kevin’s photo of Swan Bay; Lee’s picture of a red-capped robin. (Pictures: Supplied)

cockatoos every evening as they fly in from a westerly direction, before they roost in gums next to Arcare Aged Care in Portarlington.

Great advice. Thanks Lyn, I might go and check them out myself.

Kevin has been enjoying the sunny days.

He went to Swan Bay jetty and noticed about 15 royal spoonbills feeding while the tide was very low.

He also went to the boat ramp at Queenscliff and noticed about 20 white ibis feeding close

to the observation platform.

Most of them flew off together, possibly because the tide was rising. A little further out, he was surprised to see a hoary-headed grebe.

While Kevin was standing on the observation platform, some superb fairywrens hopped around at close quarters, which made for some lovely photo opportunities.

I received an email from Lee, who has been travelling around South Australia. He visited

two of the best birding locations in the state, namely Robe and Birdlife Australia’s bird sanctuary known as Gluepot, which is near Waikerie in the Riverland district.

Over 190 species of birds that have been recorded on Gluepot Reserve. There are five bird hides on the reserve and Lee started his day at the Grasswren tank on track 7, where he observed a rare dlack-eared miner. Soon after this he took some wonderful images of a male red-capped robin.

Mental health survey shows Aussies are struggling Australian telehealth service InstantScripts has revealed the first installment of data from its new Mental Health Tracker.

Based on a survey of an independent panel of 1001 Australians, the data ranges from September 2021 to April 2022. It shows that 70 per cent of Aussies surveyed say they struggled with their mental health, while 72 per cent say their mental health is ‘good’ or ‘fair.’

Survey participants were asked seven questions about their mental health over the past six months, including the identification of any mental health symptoms suffered.

The data showed that women were overwhelmingly represented in the suffering of symptoms, while some respondent groups saw large age differences.

Thirty-six per cent of participants said they had felt sadness unrelated to depression or a particular incident. Notably, 59 per cent of this group were women.

Thirty-two per cent of participants felt isolated, with women making up 62 per cent of this group, while 33 per cent said they had found it difficult to stay focused on tasks, a group of which women made up 58 per cent.

Twenty-nine per cent of participants highlighted that they had felt hopeless, with 61 per cent of this group being women.

“Apart from our research showing how prevalent mental health struggles have been for the public, what I find very concerning is that half (46 per cent) of respondents have never sought support from a mental health professional, while only a fifth (17 per cent) said they were currently seeing one,” InstantScripts registered doctor Andrew Thompson says.

“I urge those struggling with their mental health to speak to their doctor, access the myriad mental health support services available, and talk to supportive friends or family – particularly during times of extreme

stress, worry, fear or anxiety.”

More than a quarter of participants said they suffered at least once per day, while 33 per cent reported feeling symptoms once a week.

There is also a higher percentage of mental health symptoms present in young Australians, with 26 per cent of 18 to 30 year olds reporting symptoms, as opposed to 13 per cent of Aussies

aged 50 and above.

“It is concerning to see the prevalence of mental health symptoms among our young population and, while suicide rates have decreased slightly, better access to preventative healthcare and treatment remains important,” Dr Thompson says.

“Fortunately, the recent federal budget

includes a $547 million investment into mental health and suicide prevention, and I hope to see accessibility and affordability of services improve as a result.

“The silver lining in our mental health survey is that, for a large proportion, much of these symptoms seem to be temporary, based on the current pandemic circumstances.”

Foot, leg pain in winter?

Whether it’s daily soreness or lingering injuries, you may have noticed your foot or leg pain feeling worse in winter.

Musculoskeletal podiatrist Dr David Kavanagh is from Foot and Leg Pain Clinics – one of Australia’s leading lower limb pain and injury clinics. He provides some insight into why things can feel worse during the colder months.

1. Cold temperatures can cause the tissues in your joints to contract and pull on nerve endings, which can contribute to stiffness and joint pain.

2. The cold can contribute to less blood supply to joints and tissues which can restrict movement and exacerbate underlying soft tissue injuries or degeneration which you might not even be aware of.

3. We’re often less active in winter, so like any muscles in the body, the muscles in the feet and legs can become less conditioned and therefore weaker, less malleable and more prone to stress and injury.

18 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 15 July, 2022

4. We usually spend more time at home with winter’s shorter, colder days, often resulting in extended periods in unsupportive footwear like slippers or socks. This can strain foot and leg muscles, joints and tissues resulting in pain and injuries.

Some tips to try and prevent winter foot and leg pain include: • Wearing supportive shoes even if you’re spending extended periods at home and inside; • If you have orthotics wear them around the home, even in your slippers; • Keep exercising – the benefits a simple daily brisk walk can have on muscles, joints and tissues are amazing; and • If you have sudden onset pain, recurring or consistent soreness, get it checked by an experienced musculoskeletal podiatrist to help prevent a worsening of the condition.

Hybrid Peugeot lifts the bar

By Chris Riley, Marque Motoring The Peugeot 300 Hybrid car looks amazing and confirms the French know a thing or two about style. The detail in the complex front design with its dark chrome grille is exceptional and integrates striking LED lighting unlike anything else you might have seen, especially at night.

Inside, quilted Nappa leather seats with their contrast stitching look top shelf, but we found them a little small and uncomfortable.

One of the hallmarks of the brand is its tiny steering wheels and high-mounted instrument cluster, designed to replace the need for a head-up display.

The 3008 plug-in hybrid is a well-equipped car. You get partial leather and twin zone climate air with rear seat air vents, Lime Wood dash and door trim, blue ambient cabin lighting, heated front seats, a power-adjust driver’s seat with massage plus keyless entry and push-button start.

The instrument panel is digital and fully customisable, a 360-degree camera, parking sensors front and rear, semi-autonomous parking assist (90 degree and parallel), adaptive cruise control with stop and go, automatic high beam, speed sign recognition and recommendation and hands-free tailgate.

The plug-in hybrid comes with a mode two charging cable, supplied with the vehicle at time of delivery. (Note the bag for the cable is an $87 accessory).

Infotainment Infotainment consists of a 10.0-inch touchscreen, with Bluetooth, voice recognition, built-in satellite navigation, DAB+ radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring.

3008 plug-in hybrid . . . this is not about saving money.

Until recently it also came with a premium 10-speaker, 515-watt Focal sound system, but due to supply problems this is temporarily unavailable.

There’s three 12V sockets (dashboard, rear cabin and load area), with a single USB Type A socket for the front and another two for the back seat.

Engines / transmissions The plug-in hybrid features a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine, two electric motors and a 13.2kWh battery.

The petrol engine is good for 147kW of power at 6000 rpm and 300Nm of torque at 3000 rpm.

The electric motor that drives the front wheels delivers 81kW at 2500 and 320Nm from 500-2500 rpm, while the motor for the rear axle adds another 83kW at 14,000 rpm and 166Nm from 0-4760 rpm.

Together the system pumps out a combined output of 222kW and 520Nm. Drive is to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission which has a wet, multi-plate clutch to manage input from the three different power sources.

(Supplied)

Safety Five-star safety includes six airbags and automatic emergency braking that detects pedestrians and cyclists in low light conditions, and operates between 5km/h and 140km/h.

There’s also driver warning alert, active blind spot monitoring and lane keeping assistance with detection of roadsides.

IsoFix child seat mounts are located on the outboard seats.

Driving Fuel consumption, which is supposedly what it is all about, is a claimed 1.6L/100km from a 43-litre tank, and it produces 36.4 g/km of CO2.

Charging from zero per cent to full capacity takes about five and a half hours using a 2.3kW Mode 2 cable and offers 60km (WLTP) of emissions free, pure electric drive.

That’s enough we’re told to take care of the daily commute, that is if you live within 30km of work. If you’re lucky enough to have access to a charger, it’s 60km each way.

In our week with the car, we were using 6.8L/100km after 400km which is pretty good,

even with little help from the battery.

The batteries et al add about 415kg of weight to the car, which tips the scales at 1815kg.

There are gear change paddles and four drive modes to go with the 222kW/520Nm and as you can imagine it gets mobile.

Ride and handling is pretty good for a car that has not benefited from Australian tuning, but this has always been Peugeot’s forte.

The small steering wheel takes some getting used to, and the gear change is a bit fiddly.

Default drive mode is electric which means it uses up the battery first.

The B transmission setting increases regenerative braking and ideally this is for use on long downhill runs.

Otherwise, there is no regenerative adjustment.

Hybrid mode switches between the electric and petrol engines depending on your driving style.

Sport gives you both power sources at once, while AWD as its name suggests delivers four-wheel traction at low to medium speeds.

The battery pack which sits under the boot and back seat reduces the amount of load space available, from 591 to 529 litres with the rear seat in place.

The MyPeugeot app provides access to the owner’s handbook online, service and maintenance schedules, as well as fuel tank levels and odometer readings.

You can even check where you parked or plan a trip, then send that information to the car navigation system.

Summing up The Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid AWD certainly lifts the bar for the French car maker. But at $80K it’s a big ask and there’s plenty of competition around the same price.

Seven off to state titles Six athletes and one coach from Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club have been selected in the Victorian inflatable rescue boat (IRB) racing state and development teams for the Australian IRB Championships in Mollymook from July 21 to 24.

Emily Bambrook, Orlagh Davison and Keely Peatling have qualified for the state team, while James Terrance, will be head coach for the team, and Mackenzie Hooper is in the under-23 development team, with Drew Honey and Oliver Sullivan selected as team reserves.

These athletes are part of a 36-strong squad selected by Life Saving Victoria’s (LSV’s) aquatic sports council, based on results at the recent TRE Motorsport 2022 Victorian IRB Championships and will compete against the nation’s best IRB drivers, crews and patients.

As well as athletes, the aquatic sport council also selected a team manager, head coach, assistant coach and patient coordinator for each team, based on Victoria’s top leaders and coaches in IRB racing.

LSV board director aquatic sport Aaron Green congratulated the athletes successful in being selected in the state and development teams and wished them the best of luck for the upcoming competition.

“Being selected to represent your state is one of the highest honours for our athletes, team managers, coaches and coordinators,” Mr Green said. “Victoria has a long history of success at the national level in IRB racing and I am confident the team selected will continue this tradition at the 2022 Australian IRB Championships in Mollymook.”

Logjam at the top of tennis ladder LOCAL TENNIS

Donna Schoenmaekers Things are tight at the top of the ladder for Section 3 Men in Tennis Geelong’s Winter Senior competition.

Bannockburn, Moolap and Hamlyn Park are all tied on 49 points with separation only on percentage, going into last Saturday’s round of matches.

Bannockburn hosted bottom of the table Geelong East Uniting, and put itself clear of the other teams with a convincing 6-0 win, allowing GEU only 10 games for the day.

All Saints travelled to Hamlyn Park for the next match of the round, but the home team took advantage of the wet conditions.

Riley Warren battled hard for All Saints winning 14 of the sides 18 games, and teaming with Colin Dempsey to take their one set for the day, but the Park proved too strong taking a 5-1 win.

Patricks Lanyon and Walpole were the standouts for the day for Hamlyn Park, both winning their three sets.

Moolap was due to meet fourth placed Drysdale in the third match of the day, however the match was not able to be started.

The final match of the day was a slog between club rivals Grovedale’s Yellow and Black.

On soggy synthetic grass, the teams battled it out in a close encounter. Yellow’s Matt Francis and Greg Pitts took a close one 6-4 in the first set, while Black’s Peter Watkins Jnr and Lachie Smith countered with a 6-3 win in the second.

In the third, Malachi Hedt and Peter Watkins Jnr put Black ahead by taking a tie-break, but Greg Pitts and Jarrod Bateup gave Yellow a one-game lead going into the final two sets taking the fourth 6-3.

The first four sets were tough and the final two sets followed the same pattern. Matt Francis and Jarrod Bateup set up Yellow for a win taking the fifth set 6-3, however, Watkins Jnr almost upset their plans, teaming with dad Pete Snr winning the final set 6-4, his third for the day, leaving the teams even on sets but Yellow with a two-game advantage, extending their ladder lead on Black by two games, and leaving them with an outside chance of still making finals.

Whiting on the chew on the Bellarine ON THE BITE

Peri Stavropoulos The Bellarine Peninsula continues to fish well with King George whiting and calamari all on the chew.

Clifton Springs through to Indented Head has been the current hotspot with King George whiting holding in fantastic numbers and a quality size to over 40cm.

Pippies have proved to be the most productive bait with fresh squid also doing damage.

Calamari have been holding in 2m to 3m of water with a variety of size from small right up to over 1.5kg. Size 3.0 jigs stand out with major craft Egizo jigs yet again being a standout brand.

Natural greens, pinks and purples have all stood out again this week.

Offshore Boneheads has continued to fish really well for gummy sharks and snapper with plenty of reports coming through from the back of the rip ride all the way down to Anglesea along the 30 metre line.

Fresh baits like salmon and squid have proved yet again deadly and Black Magic snapper snatches have been accounting for plenty of fish, too.

Down the west coast school tuna and barrel tuna continue to bite from Port Fairy right through to Port MacDonnell.

School tuna have been hanging out the front of Lawrence Rock of Portland lately with lots of fish holding in the area taking a variety of lures with divers and skirts the favourites.

Port MacDonnell still continues to be the barrel hotspot with lots of reports coming in from the shallow as 15m right through to 30m holding lots of bait and plenty of fish.

Live baits have yet again been the stand here and reports are coming out with anglers landing fish on skirting and diving lures.

Wurdee Buloc and Stony Creek Reservoirs have fished well with redfin holding tremendous numbers and still plenty of trout on offer. Spoon lures and soft plastics have been working best for the redfin allowing you to get a long cast and big shallow diving minnows have worked best with trout.

SPORT Double chance on the line for strong finals run Bannockburn’s hopes of a top three finish in the Geelong District Football League will be on the line on Saturday.

The fourth-placed Tigers face the third-placed Geelong West Giants on Saturday, with the winner to sit third after the match.

With six teams still in the hunt for the five finals positions with five rounds to go, the match is massive in the context of the season.

While a loss this week wouldn’t end the Tigers top three spots, it would put a serious dent in them.

Tigers coach Ronnie Pilgrim knows how important the match against the Giants is.

“It will likely determine if we finish top three or not,” he said. “They beat us back in round one. The top six teams are close this season. We definitely wanted to finish in the top five at the start of the year.

“If we can win enough games and get a

second chance, that would be good.”

The match against the Giants is the second big one in as many weeks.

Last week they beat Corio, 12.17(89) to 4.6(30), to cement this spot in the top five. They sit percentage ahead of sixth.

For the Tigers, it’s not only the senior team that has a lot on the line this week against the Giants.

“Our reserves are going along a similar path,” Pilgrim said. “They need to win if they want to keep the top three hopes alive.

“We’re getting good numbers at training and it’s creating depth for both the seniors and reserves.”

While on track to achieve their aim this, one of the most pleasing things for the Tigers this year has been the development of their younger guys.

Pilgrim said the players coming through

from the club’s pathways were holding the club in good stead.

Josh Kunjka, Ayden Obsorne and Juanito Ramos are among those who have impressed Pilgrim when given opportunities. Kunjka was named in the best in their win against Corio.

“We had 18 come up from under-19s last year,” he said.

“We’ve blooded seven or eight young guys this season. They are improving every week and have come on leaps and bounds, with development and educational things.

“There’s a few more in the seconds going well too.”

In other matches this weekend, Werribee Centrals host Inverleigh, North Geelong faces Corio, Belmont plays East Geelong, Bell Post Hill will play Thomson and Winchelsea takes on Anakie.

Tara Murray

It’s ‘one week at a time’

By Tara Murray Grovedale isn’t looking too far ahead in the Geelong Football League.

The Tigers sit in seventh spot after 13 rounds, just one game and percentage outside the top five.

While well and truly in contention for finals, coach Daniel Fraser said that wasn’t his side’s main focus at the moment.

“It’s the old cliche, take it one week at a time,” he said.

“We’ll just continue to try and keep on winning and let finals take care of itself.

What we are about is structures and the game plan.

“We’re not looking too far ahead other than Lara this weekend.”

Fraser said the aim for the group this year had to be more competitive than they were in the 11 rounds of last season, before it was called off.

At that point the Tigers were 6-5, but had lost their last four games.

“We didn’t set a target to play finals,” he said of this year.

“The first thing was making sure we were more competitive than last season. We had a hard start to this year, but we’ve found our feet the last six weeks or so.”

The Tigers have now won six of their last eight matches, the most recent against Geelong West Giants on Saturday.

The Tigers trailed at half time by 18 points, before kicking eight goals to three in the second half, to win 12.12 (84) to 10.10 (70).

The win meant the Tigers jumped the Giants on the ladder and sit a game ahead of them.

Fraser said they had some good patches in the win.

“It was a big win with a lot at stake,” he said.

“We dropped off in the second quarter, but we were able to get it together in the second half. We were pretty happy with it.”

Jordan Erskine was the key up forward with six goals, while Matt Harvey and Jakob Lovergrove kicked two goals each.

Fraser said they needed Erskine to stand up and kick some goals and provide some leadership up forward, with both Mitch Chafer and Martin Brennan missing due to Victorian Football League commitments.

Dale Kerr, Jak Tute and Ryan Abbott were among the other standouts in the win.

The Tigers host Lara at Burdoo Reserve this Saturday.

Lara sits 11th on the ladder.

“It’s always a tough game no matter where they are on the ladder,” Fraser said.

“They gave us a bit of a fright earlier in the year. We have to play somewhere near our best football to get the win.”

Grubbers coach stands down Ocean Grove Football Club coach Pete Davey has stepped down from the role citing increasing travel commitments with his employment and wanting to spend more time with his family as the main reasons.

Davey had signed to coach the Grubbers through 2023 and the club said it had accepted his resignation “with regret”.

“OGFNC would like to extend its gratitude to Pete, his wife Emily and children Noah and Georgia for their commitment, dedication, enthusiasm, and passion they have all shown at the club during the past three years,” the club said in a statement.

“His professionalism and work galvanising the group throughout the COVID periods of 2020-21 was a true testament to his character and something we will always be grateful for.

“Throughout his tenure Pete has always put the best interests of the club first.”

Davey said while his decision was “disappointing” he had no regrets and it was an easy one to make given he simply wanted to spend more time watching his children grow up.

“Disappointing that I won’t be able to finish what we started at the end of 2019 but easy in that there is no viable alternative given the amount of travel I have done recently and will continue to do in my role,” Davey said. “There’s no sadness at all about this as I’m not going anywhere, I’m simply stepping down from the role as senior coach.

“When I accepted this role, I made a commitment to the committee that we wouldn’t just win a flag, we’d win several and I will see that through in whatever capacity I can whether that’s being a sounding board for players, editing match video from time to time or even helping out in the can bar. This is my club and I’ll always be around to assist where I can.”

Davey will coach his final game at Ray Menzies Oval against Geelong Amateur in round 18.

The club will now commence an extensive search for Davey’s replacement.

Any inquiries should be directed to football director Cam McGregor on 0448 855 175.
