Seniors 8 page liftout INSIDE A nod to a 1955 classic A new neon artwork by Geelong artist Glen Smith is a 21st century nod to John Brack’s famous 1955 painting ’Collins Street, 5pm’. The artwork, ‘Clare Street, 5pm’ has been installed on Grace Church, Clare Street, as part of a program to activate outdoor areas and support Greater Geelong’s night-time economy. “Most recently my artworks have been investigating local architecture with an absence of people,” Smith said. “I decided I wanted to make some new works less static, adding people crossing intersections within central Geelong. This concept in turn then reminded me of John Brack’s ‘Collins Street, 5pm’. So I decided to investigate how I could do a 21st century riff on his artwork by using neon as my medium instead of oil paint. “People have really liked how it brightens up a fairly utilitarian wall and have also commented on the diversity and inclusivity aspects. “I feel the colours and movement in my piece reflects our changing culture, street level activity and human intervention against the backdrop of our built environment.”

Boost for social housing A $36 million grant will help build up to 90 houses and create 234 jobs in Geelong, it was announced this week. Housing Minister Danny Pearson announced grants from the Social Housing Growth Fund to build social housing across Geelong. Funding will be provided to Unison Housing, Common Equity Housing Limited and Northern Geelong Rental Housing Co-operative Ltd, Salvation Army Housing and CatholicCare Victoria. Seventeen community housing agencies will receive funding for planning and construction

of 46 projects that will deliver up to 683 homes in regional Victoria, creating nearly 2600 jobs and boosting Victoria’s economic recovery. “We’re delivering the biggest single investment in social housing Victoria has ever seen – we’re not just investing in bricks and mortar, but the lives of Victorians right across the state for years to come,” Mr Pearson said. However, opposition housing spokesman Richard Riordan said it was “too little, too late”. The opposition said more than 4000 families statewide were added to the priority housing register in the past 12 months, according to

NEW OFFICE 306 Myers St, East Geelong

most recent data. In eight years, 26,247, or 20 families a day, have been added to our urgent housing waiting lists across the state, the opposition said. The latest figures from the Victorian Housing Register data shows there are 4175 applicants on the waiting list for public housing in Geelong alone and 267 in Lara. The figures don’t include the Surf Coast or the Bellarine Peninsula. “The Labor Andrews government has proven over eight years it has no capacity to solve the housing crisis in regional Victoria and an announcement of 683 homes will not

put a scuff mark on the priority waiting list,“ he said. “A Liberal government would immediately move to fast-track land and partnerships with Housing Associations, not for profits and the superannuation industry to get the homes built that Victorians need.” The project sites have been chosen because they have the most critical demand and are close to services residents will need, the state government said. Projects will be commencing throughout 2023 as planning and other approvals are obtained.

Pako Festa comes home Pakington Street will once again play host to the iconic Pako Festa, as Victoria’s largest multicultural festival comes home after two years of COVID-19 interruptions. Pako Festa 2023, the 41st edition of the festival, will be held on Saturday, February 25 in Pakington Street between Gordon Avenue and Waterloo Street, after being cancelled in 2021 and relocated to the Northern Community Hub in Norlane in 2022.

- Joy Leggo

Cultura chief executive Joy Leggo said her organisation was thrilled to return the outdoor street party to its original home in a celebration of “the extraordinary contribution of individuals, cultural groups and multicultural communities in Geelong and across Australia”. “That’s right, we are bringing Pako Festa back to Pako,” Ms Leggo said. “This successful event attracts crowds of over 100,000 people and fulfils its purpose, which is to celebrate local diversity. “The event brings diverse community groups together and offers a safe environment in which to share their culture with the broader community while fostering a spectacular cultural experience full of music, colour, food, costumes, dance and movement.” Ms Leggo said after the isolation and disconnection caused by COVID-19, Pako Festa was all about bringing people back together. “The theme for 2023 will be ‘Sharing and

Connecting Cultures: the Reunion’,” she said. “This is about human reconnection, not only within the diverse communities, but with the broader Geelong community as well.” Cultura, which was formed by the merger of Diversitat and Multicultural Aged Care Services (MACS) and whose services throughout Greater Geelong include youth, community and arts programs, aged care and Pulse radio station, will deliver the event. Ms Leggo said Cultura would draw on

the 70-plus years of experience of its parent organisations in bringing Pako Festa 2023 to Geelong. “We have an ambitious intent to connect, inspire and embrace culturally diverse individuals throughout their entire life journey, and after 70 years, I think we’re just getting started,” Ms Leggo said. Anyone wishing to get involved in Pako Festa as a performer, volunteer or food truck vendor can contact Cultura at www.pakofesta.com.au.

A party for the planet Climate activist group Extinction Rebellion will hold its ‘No More Gas’ beach party at Geelong Eastern Beach on Saturday, October 8. with the aim of drawing attention to the proposed gas terminal in Corio Bay. The beach party, which kicks off at 11am, will be hosted by Extinction Rebellion groups from Geelong, Ballarat, Warrnambool and Melbourne, and will feature activities for children, music and entertainment. The environmentalist organisation hopes to see plenty of people attend, and Extinction Rebellion spokesperson Jenny said creating more infrastructure for fossils fuels in an era of climate emergency was unjustifiable. “There is widespread concern in Geelong about this proposal by Viva to build a huge floating gas terminal,” she said. “We are worried about the impact of increased shipping in our bay, the disturbance that dredging will cause and the safety of this kind of facility. “On top of that, we are in a climate emergency and need to be shutting down fossil fuel infrastructure, not building more.” The beach party is part of Extinction Rebellion Victoria’s Spring Rebellion, two weeks of continuous action running from October 8 to October 22, including a number of events throughout Geelong and Melbourne.

The launch of John Craven’s new book, The Conquerors, was more than a promotional event; it was a celebration of the achievements of 100 of Geelong’s finest athletes past and present, and by extension, of Geelong itself. Held at the Royal Geelong Yacht Club on Tuesday, October 4, the event launched The Conquerors, which tells the stories of 100 Geelong people who have excelled in a range of diverse sports; from inaugural Brownlow Medallist Carji Greeves to mogul skiing star Jakara Anthony and Paralympic long jump gold medallist Kelly Cartwright. Coodabeen Champion Ian Cover emceed the launch, bringing his trademark wit and humour to the proceedings, and was joined by civic leaders, sports industry luminaries and nearly 40 of the high-achieving sports stars featured in the book. Renowned sports journalist Mike Sheehan spoke on stage to former Geelong Cats captain and NFL Superbowl punter Ben Graham, New York Yankees pitcher and two-time World Series champion Graeme Lloyd and 1962 Brownlow Medallist Alistair Lord. Mr Craven, OAM, long-time journalist, sports promoter and author, is a self-described “unashamed Geeelong patriot” who manages his own publishing and events company, Caribou Publications. He said he was overjoyed at the success of the launch and the response to the book so far. “It’s gratifying, certainly, and also overwhelming and humbling,” he said. “There were 240 here, which is just an amazing response. Geelong has never had a book launch with so much sporting talent under the same roof. There was a buzz of excitement throughout the function room.

Sustainable solutions Geelong Sustainable House Day is back for its 14th year. The event will feature seminars and open houses and it is hoped to give people an opportunity to explore new and innovative ideas and solutions. The event will feature three in-person seminars covering topics including ‘Sustainable Homes: Buy, Build & Renovate’, ‘Retrofitting for energy efficiency’ and ‘Going off Gas’ where participants will hear from experts in the field, with an opportunity to have their questions answered. There will be nine diverse open houses across the region, with features including passive solar design, thermal mass, insulation, new building practices, draught-proofing techniques, sustainable products, energy-efficient appliances, rooftop solar, battery storage, straw bale homes and productive gardens. When their Manifold Heights house burnt down in 2018, Sue and Tim were devastated. However, they chose to reclaim as much of the old material as they could salvage, and built their new home with an emphasis on waste reduction, circularity and sustainability. They created an industrial style home featuring solar panels, thermal mass, LEDs, hydronic heating, double-glazed windows, natural light, compost and veggie garden. “The key things we wanted in a sustainable house were for it to be sealed, clean and warm,” Tim said. “Our previous 1950s house was draughty, cold and dusty so that’s why we went for properly sealed, double-glazed, Low E glass windows, hydronic heating, concrete floors and full insulation. We also maximise ventilation by using louvre windows to purge heat once the afternoon southerly winds come up.” Sue added: “We tried to recycle every brick and paver from our burnt out house and re-use

them in the new build. “Similar recycled bricks have been cut and used as tiles in some areas and what was left from the cutting have been used as feature paving. We’ve also worked out how to use our heating more effectively by only having it on during the day when our solar energy kicks in.” Sustainable House Day is being held on October 15 and 16.

A $26,000 grant to a Geelong company is hoped to reduce the risk of fires in garden organics facilities. Sequence Digital this week launched a fleet of new 4G, weather-proof, solar-powered temperature sensors in a pilot program at the City of Greater Geelong’s Garden Organics Processing Facility in Anakie. The Clean Technology grant was awarded in 2019 through Cleantech Innovations Geelong, a business and industry support program funded by the City of Greater Geelong, the Victorian government, and the Geelong Manufacturing Council. The new devices will monitor 10,000 cubic metres of garden organics - the equivalent of four Olympic-sized swimming pools – collected from household green bins across Greater Geelong. Sequence Digital Patrick co-director Blampied said the industrial temperature sensor has a ground-breaking design with the ability to operate in remote areas where the internet signal is weak and the weather conditions extreme. “These devices are tough as nails and send critical temperature data to the cloud in real-time, rain, hail or shine, even in areas with patchy rural internet connectivity,” Mr Blampied said. “The Cleantech Innovations grant made it possible to redesign our earlier prototype from the ground-up to make sure it could be used in the most remote outdoor organics facilities across Australia.”

Compost fire risk reduced

Belmont Lions Sports Club has taken the critical first step in delivering its overall Winter Reserve Facilities Development Plan (FDP) by securing up to $1 million in funding from the state government. The funding will be devoted to the construction of new female-friendly facilities and a new netball court, which Tyrrell Hill, the club’s director of club development and sponsorship, said was integral to the growth of the club. “We realise we need to look after female participation, which has been lacking, and we believe that’s been holding us back as a club,” Mr Hill said. “It’s about being more equitable. It’s a general trend across a whole lot of sporting organisations and communities, that we need to provide fair access for all our participants. “We’re very much focused on building our

female participation in programs, both netball and possibly football in the future. We don’t have any junior female football sides yet, but we want to be ready and able to when the time comes.” The FDP, developed in conjunction with East Belmont Cricket Club, involves a broad range of upgrades, including general upgrades to the existing pavilion and storage facilities. Mr Hill said the club was thrilled at the announcement by Geelong MP Christine Couzens of funding for the new change rooms and netball court. “We’re absolutely delighted the state government has seen the benefits of this investment and have allocated this commitment,” he said. “These facilities are critical to help us achieve our goals and we are grateful to Christine, who has been an active and effective advocate on our behalf.”

Helping modern slavery victims By Matt Hewson Geelong’s Lotus Kitchen program, dedicated to helping women rescued from modern slavery reconnect with the community, is celebrating the acquisition of its new food truck with a banquet event at Cloverdale Community Centre. Thanks to the help of Geelong not-for-profit organisation A2B Support and a long list of corporate and individual donors and volunteers, the 1967 Chevy Step-Van food truck will help the Lotus Kitchen operate as a fully commercial business. Till now, the kitchen has focused on providing its participants with a way to meet

people and get involved with the community, and has been charging just enough to cover its costs. However, this new step will mean the women who prepare and cook the program’s meals can be paid for their time as well as benefit from the social and well-being opportunities. The event, which will be held on Thursday, October 13 and offer a three-course Thai banquet to attendees, is intended to raise awareness of the often-hidden problem of modern slavery and introduce the Lotus Kitchen to a bigger slice of the Geelong community. Woon Ooi, A2B Support vice president and project co-ordinator for the food truck

project, said the Lotus Kitchen was a really important program and one A2B was proud to support. “It’s a great local initiative, and a really significant project that has been underway for a couple of years now,” Mr Ooi said. “It started with one woman who was rescued from modern slavery in Geelong, who then connected with the Cloverdale Community Centre and started meeting other women from the Thai community and rescuing them. “The purpose of the Lotus Kitchen isn’t to make money, but to create a community, which they have done. And that’s where we stepped in and went, hang on, you guys create such a great quality meal, if taking it

commercial is your dream we’ll provide you the means to do that.” Mr Ooi will emcee the banquet, which will feature other speakers including rescued women and VCAL students from Covenant College who assisted in reconditioning the food truck, and he encouraged anyone who enjoyed Thai food or was interested in the project to book a table. “There’s a whole list of local businesses that have generously donated their time and resources so far,” he said. “We’ve had wonderful community engagement so far, which has been encouraging.” Detials: events.humanitix.com/lotus.

Coin and stamp fair The Geelong Philatelic and Numismatic societies are banding together to present the region’s annual coin and stamp fair. The event is part of the Victorian Seniors Festival, and for many members of both groups, collecting has been a lifelong hobby. The fair will feature coin and stamp dealers and appraisals. This year marks two significant milestones in the coin world. It is the 100th anniversary of 1921-22 threepence with an estimated mintage of just 900. The coin was valued from $40,000 to $175,000, according to the 2011 Coin and Stamp Guide. This year also marks the 100th anniversary of the Socceroos and Woolworths released a coloured $2 coin to mark the occasion. Geelong Numismatic Society member Jeff Harriott said coin and stamp collecting was

still popular. “The Royal Australian Mint mint are always putting out collectible coins,” he said. “They are trying to keep people interested. Coin collecting has seen a marked increase in people collecting. “Some collect only 50 cent coins, some only two dollar coins. Some collect only pre- or post-decimal. “Some themes, like a Remembrance Day theme, if you don’t have preorders that stuff sells out within days to weeks.” The fair is on Saturday, October 8 at the Geelong West Town Hall and has free light refreshments and giveaways. Both clubs are always on the lookout for new members. Jeff,0401 465 075, can steer you in the right direction if you are interested in finding out more about both clubs.

Triple Boom exhibition By Matt Hewson Frankston-based painter Beth Gibbeson is one of three artists launching solo exhibitions at Boom Gallery this October. The exhibitions run from October 13 to November 6, featuring the work of Gibbeson, Liam Haley and Lotte Frances. Gibbeson said her work, which uses “bold, rich and warm colours” to help the viewer’s eye “travel around the canvas”, is inspired by her memory and experiences of landscapes.

- Dylan Foley “My work is essentially a development of landscape; the colours, smells of the landscape, the natural parts that make up the environment and world around me,” she said. “My preparation is just drawing, it can take me weeks and weeks to formulate something that really works for me. Once I get a result I’m happy with, I take that to the paint and build up from that final drawing. “Colour is probably the most important part, if a painting isn’t working it’s often because the colour is a shade off. And I like to build up a certain light within my painting that glows from underneath the layers as I apply them. “It’s very deliberate, to allow the colours and shapes to move around the canvas. It’s about taking a journey and having the painting move the viewer.” Gibbeson’s works will be presented in Big Boom for this exhibition, which is her

So it’s really exciting to go back for my third solo.” Gallery manager and co-curator Dylan Foley said Boom Gallery was excited to have three such incredible painters showing their works

through October. “Each artist is working in the field of abstraction with vast and equally interesting approaches,” she said. “It is really rewarding to work with young artists to present their work in a professional context and provide a platform for them to connect with our audiences and stable of represented artists.”

Members of a local motorcycle club visited charity organisation Lazarus Community Centre to deliver a special surprise on Sunday, October 2. Missing Links motorcycle club members donated $4000 after organising various charity fundraising events. Club members were given a guided tour of the facility that feeds, clothes and shelters hundreds of Geelong’s homeless people. Lazarus is managed almost entirely by volunteers and funded largely by donations. “We’re really pleased to be able to support this Geelong community service organisation,” Missing Links president Rob Jenner said. “We’ve been shown through the facilities, we’ve been made to feel very

welcome indeed and we can see exactly what good our donation can do at the ground level. “The staff and volunteers are really going the extra mile here to help those less fortunate and it’s very easy to see that.” Missing Links Motorcycle Club is a group of local bike enthusiasts that organise a number of charity events annually. The club has its spring poker run on Sunday, October 9. The event kicks off from the Corio Bay Roadhouse at 8.30am. “We invite Geelong’s motorcycle community to come along, enjoy a great day of riding and support this fantastic charity,” club secretary John Fraser said. “There’s a $500 prize on offer, too, for the best poker hand.”

Property values are certainly beginning to fall in Geelong. Described by the experts as a ’market correction’ after a roughly 14 per cent- plus increase in value over the past 12 months. Great news for those contemplating entering the property market – provided that they can deal with rapidly rising interest rates. Even better news for the cashed up looking for investment properties. Attended an auction recently where only one lowly bid was made ($600,000) and the four bedroom house passed-in. Less than 12 months ago, a similar home in the immediate neighbourhood sold for over $800,000. It is a different picture for those looking to rent. Rentals remain obscenely high. Demand continues to outstrip supply in this area. Michael J Gamble, Belmont

FEATURING ... MY BUSINESS

Advertising feature

Family tradition is alive and well at Donnybrook Road Baking runs in the family for Norlane’s newest cafe owner, Ken Gardner. His boutique-style cafe and bakery might be new to Donnybrook Road having opened only a few months ago in July, but the veteran cafe owner comes from a long line of bakers. “My father started as an apprentice baker in August 1945 in the town of Warragul,” Ken explained. “Then he went on to own bakeries throughout country Victoria. Several of my family went on to own their own bakeries, which is where my grounding in bakeries arises.” Ken continues that family tradition at his new Donnybrook Road Cafe and Bakery, offering high-quality food as well as bread baked using his father’s recipes. He said the cafe also offers a variety of coffees – all of which are “amazing”. They all go together well with the specialty cakes and slices, and made-to-order sandwiches and salad rolls. Also on offer are bread rolls baked daily, pies, pasties and sausage rolls. But the new bakery, at 25 Donnybrook Road, also prides itself on its cleanliness and customer service. “It’s all about the service,” Ken said. “Our service is impeccable and personable. “Everyone is important.” Ken said there are always challenges when starting a new business and the cafe was now attuned to varied customers’ needs. “We are now offering milkshakes after several customer requests and loyalty cards are coming soon, too.” In fact, Ken has many other plans for the cafe, including special offers. To start with, anyone who comes to his shop with the coupon below will receive a free loaf of bread made from his father’s secret bread recipe.

The Guide AUSTRALIA’S GOT TALENT Seven, Sunday, 7pm

HE WEEK PICK OF THE

After a two-year hiatus thanks to the pesky worldwide medical emergency that rhymes with “bovid”, this funfilled talent show is returning with its long-awaited ninth season. The most exciting part, besides a cavalcade of fresh performers promising everything from acrobatics to fire, is the arrival of fresh talent on the judging panel. Along with returning judge Shane Jacobson and host Ricki-Lee Coulter, veteran critics David Walliams and Alesha Dixon have been exported from the British series. Homegrown radio and soapie star Kate Ritchie (pictured, second from left, with Walliams, Dixon and Jacobson) fills out the impressive new panel. With $100,000 and the performers’ pride on the line, viewers should always expect the unexpected.

ALICE FRASER: SAVAGE ABC TV Plus, Saturday, 8.30pm

MIRROR MIRROR 10, Monday, 7.30pm

Aussie comedian Alice Fraser (above) cuts to the bone in this critically acclaimed stand-up show about death and imperfections. “What I wanted to write was a silly, funny lighthearted comedy show...” she begins. The cameras have moments of panning to audience members who are fighting back tears, but who says comedy can’t be heartbreaking and awkward? Fraser’s show was filmed in Melbourne but the comic has honed this set abroad for years. It’s a well-crafted, contemplative and very personal sojourn into her thoughts and experiences, particularly concerning her mother’s battle with cancer. Tune in for an incisive and emotional look at life.

After exploring the confronting, unregulated world of cosmetic surgery and society’s obsession with looking perfect, unflappable Todd Sampson (pictured) turns his penetrating gaze to the pitfalls of the internet. In this new investigation airing over two nights, Sampson examines how the internet is altering the way we think, how our brains are wired, and how we live our lives, with a particular focus on the ways this information highway is potentially derailing children. From influencer culture to conspiracy theories, Sampson delivers a compelling investigation which plays out something like a horror story. He also asks: is it too late to change our ways?

Ballooning is a magical way of exploring Geelong and the Bellarine.

Memories to last a lifetime Create memories that will last a lifetime and enjoy a spectacular sunrise flight to take in the majestic sights of Geelong in the awe-inspiring morning light. At this time of the morning, the landscape slowly comes to life as you drift along, held in a timeless capsule with views of the urban and rural landscapes around Geelong. The launch site will vary depending on the wind direction on the day. Staff choose a take off location to give customers the best views possible for that flight. On a south-easterly wind flow, balloons might take off from the Bellarine Peninsula. Balloons often launch from the city itself and on many occasions travel to the west or north west, to enjoy views

of the Barrabool Hills. The scenery is always stunning, with Port Phillip Bay to the east, the ocean to the south, the Barwon River arriving from the west and the small You Yangs to the north. Liberty Balloon Flights call this “The Peaceful Adventure” and that is what ballooning really is. With 27 years’ experience in ballooning, Liberty Balloon Flights continues operations this season. The experience ends with a lovely breakfast at The Wharf Shed, the perfect way to end your morning. Bookings can be made via the website www.libertyballoonflights.com.au or by calling 1800 BALLOON (22 55 66)

Pat is doing just fine thanks to Uniting AgeWell Pat Brooks loves every nook and cranny of the Geelong home she’s lived in for the last 43 years and currently shares with her cat, Archer. “Archer thinks he owns the house though,” Pat laughs. “He lets me know he’s the boss!” Pat, 88, has macular degeneration and has no vision in one eye and limited vision in the other. Yet she is still coping well at home thanks to her government-funded home care package through Uniting AgeWell. Pat gets taken shopping and has help with housework and gardening. Pat has also used her package to buy a number of aids: there’s a walker, and rails and steps around the house make it easier and safer for her to negotiate her way around. Mind you, getting around is certainly helped by Pat knowing every square inch of her beloved home! Pat spends her time pottering around the garden and making beautiful greeting cards. She also does arts and crafts at Vision Australia each week. She loves listening to the radio and television. She’s busy. And that’s how she likes it. Pat has spent her whole life in Geelong. She grew up the youngest of 10 children, left school at the age of 15 and did clerical work for an accountant for the next decade. She married her husband, Max, when she was 21, and they were together for 62 years before he passed away. Pat has three children, five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren and can’t speak highly enough of Uniting AgeWell and the “kind and very helpful staff.” “I love my home, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else,” says Pat. “And with the help that Uniting AgeWell is giving me, I’m doing just fine.” Just as well! Pat knows she needs to be as fit as possible to look after Archer, who is pretty vocal about her being at his beck and call.

Pat Brooks still lives in her Geelong home with cat Archer thanks to Uniting AgeWell.

Prepaid funerals, your questions answered by experts Prepaid funerals are becoming increasingly popular, as people become more aware of the emotional and financial benefits associated with planning ahead. But there are a lot of questions about prepaid funerals, and how they work. Kings Funerals Prepaid Consultants, Julie Cantwell and Samantha Voyle Hallihan are here to help answer some of your most common questions about prepaid funerals.

How do I prepay a funeral? There are two ways to prepay a funeral. The first is with a funeral bond where the cost of your funeral is estimated and a lump sum is invested with a funeral fund manager to contribute towards future costs. You can set a target amount and pay in regular or occasional contributions. The second option is a prepaid funeral plan. You decide the details of the funeral service that you want and Kings Funerals guarantees with a written contract to carry out the funeral as arranged, whenever it’s required in years to come. Full payment upfront is required and includes a price guarantee fee to lock in today’s prices.

Is my money safe? Yes. In Victoria, prepaid legislation requires that all funds must be invested with a friendly society. After the initial investment, Kings Funerals cannot access the funds until the funeral has taken place.

How do I benefit from planning ahead? Prepaid consultants at Kings Funerals Samantha Voyle Hallihan and Julie Cantwell.

The family denture clinic that’s embracing technology Smile Care Denture Clinic is Geelong’s longest running family-owned Denture Clinic. It was established by Neil Boyd in 1984, with his son Kurt, starting alongside his father in 2006. More recently, younger son Carl, who qualified as a dental technician in 2010, has returned to the family business after a six-year break from the industry. The family denture clinic is now the Geelong region’s first fully digital denture clinic, with the ability to create dentures using the latest in CAD-CAM technology with 3D printing and milling, separating the clinic from any others in the area. This places the Boyd family at the top of their game, not only with the latest technology and training, but genuine clinical experience of 38 and 14 years respectively. Moving into the digital world has extended the family’s skills to be able to treat and care for a wider range of clientele. Neil is in his 50th year in the dental industry and has been a dental prosthetist for over 38 years. During that time, Neil has travelled around the world expanding his knowledge, learning different techniques and procedures to be able to deliver the best possible results to his patients. Neil made huge changes to his clinical and laboratory techniques in 2004, which gave much better results than using the old techniques used in most clinics. After some changes in the dental field, Neil has been absolutely amazed at the latest digital dentistry. Neil and Kurt have put a lot of research into the new technology, attending training courses and information sessions for the past three years, finally deciding it is now time to move even further into the future. “The aim is to be able to mill dentures and give patients the most superior fitting and most functional dentures currently available and making dentures look more like patients own natural teeth,” explained Neil.

FRIDAY FEATURE

A rollercoaster running journey Ashleyrose Gilham, performer, runner and diabetic, will run the New York City Marathon in November as part of the international Beyond Type Run team of 50 people living with Type 1 diabetes. The Californian, now a Geelong resident, has just run her first Melbourne Marathon after four aborted attempts, and she spoke to Matt Hewson about her journey so far.

rowing up in San Diego, Ashleyrose Gilham had many interests, but running wasn’t one of them. “I come from a working middle class family, both my folks worked for the US Postal Service, and they instilled a strong work ethic and belief in education in me,” Ashleyrose said. “I grew up really loving performing, I’m a bit of a theatre nerd, so I ended up studying theatre. I’m not a natural athlete by any means. In terms of movement, I’m a great dancer, but athletics, I didn’t get that gene like my brother and sister. “And so I actually had quite a hatred for running. I was an unfit, you know, overweight child, and that was really challenging for me growing up. It seemed like we ran every day in PE, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, why do people do this?’ “It wasn’t until a bit later on in life, in my mid-30s, that I started really running, so I arrived at it a little bit later than some folks do.”

‘‘

I finished, I crossed the finish line healthy and strong, so I’m proud to say I got my medal

’’

- Ashleyrose Gilham As it turned out, it was her sister, a natural competitiveness and love of chocolate that inspired Ashleyrose to begin her running journey in 2014. “My sister had run a couple of 5ks, that’s her jam, and I remember, I was staying with her and she was getting up really early for a run,” she said. “And I’m not a morning person, so I was thinking, you’re getting up voluntarily for this? It’s still dark, no thanks. But then she came back with this really shiny medal, and at that point I’d lost a lot of weight, so I thought, I could probably do this. “And then there was a race called the Hot Chocolate Run, they’re a 5km run and they do them all over the US. There’s chocolate at the end, and you get a medal. “So I’m like, alright, I think I can manage that. So that was the start. I ran it with my sister and it was a lot of fun, there was a really great atmosphere. And I was kind of hooked after that.” And thus Ashleyrose’s rollercoaster ride into the world of running began. However, in a surprise development came along in the form of a Geelong native named Glenn. “I wasn’t looking for love, but we both follow the same American football team, at that time they were the San Diego Chargers,” Ashleyrose said. “We were chatting away in an online football forum, a group of us, and then Glenn and I started sending each other private messages, which escalated to phone calls and video chats, and ultimately an invitation for me to come to Australia to meet him. “My family freaked out, they did not want me to come to Australia to meet a stranger. But he didn’t feel like a stranger to me, we’d been talking online for probably two years at that point. “So I came down for a couple of weeks and we hit it off, and we’ve been together ever since. My permanent residency was finalised in 2014 and I made the move in 2015. “San Diego is a beautiful place, pretty chill and laid back, and I think that has helped me adjust to living here in Geelong. There’s a similar vibe.” Meanwhile, Ashelyrose had continued to build up her distance, and she signed up to

run her first marathon in San Diego in 2018. The event turned out to be just another sharp turn on the rollercoaster ride, as the run was halted mid-way due to an active shooter situation. “That was a bit of a whirlwind; I was at mile 20, about 32 kilometres, when they stopped the race bacause of the active shooter,” she said. “They ultimately apprehended the person, and there was an officer in pursuit who unfortunately shot themselves in the foot, but that was the only sustained injury of the day. “My sister actually called me and told me, and I was like, well, nobody’s said anything, so I’m going to keep going. And shortly after that they pulled us aside. “I got to finish, but it was absolutely bonkers. I hate to say it, but only in America.” From there, Ashleyrose began training for the 2018 Melbourne Marathon, but life threw her another curveball. “I didn’t really have any in-depth knowledge of diabetes till then, I just knew diabetics had to monitor their blood sugar and take insulin,” she said. “And there I was, I was just celebrating my 39th birthday, I’d run the San Diego marathon the month before, and I just felt awful. “I was training for Melbourne and I was

doing a 5km run early on in training. And I knew something was wrong. I thought, maybe I’m just having a really bad day, but it didn’t go away. “I had all the classic symptoms, and I told my mum what was going on, and she told me to go get tested for diabetes. And when I went to the doctor, she told me to go straight to the emergency room.” Ashleyrose was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and decided to put the Melbourne Marathon on hold. “At the time I didn’t have a continuous glucose monitor, I was still doing finger pricks, so I just didn’t feel ready,” she said. “I thought, I’ll just run it next year, in 2019. But I ended up getting cast in a show at the Arts Centre that next year, which shifted a trip to the US I had planned, and I missed the 2019 one too. “So I thought, okay, I’ll run it in 2020. But obviously that didn’t happen. Then in 2021 my mother experienced a major health event with major surgeries, so I had to walk away again.” Finally, this October Ashleyrose managed to successfully complete her first ever Melbourne Marathon. “I finished, I crossed the finish line healthy and strong, so I’m proud to say I got my medal,” she said.

“It was an incredible experience after the buildup to actually being able to do it. A marathon’s always tough, but it was an honour and privilege to do it on Wurundjeri Bunarong country and just make it through.” In November, Ashleyrose jets off to run the New York City marathon as one of the Beyond Type Run international team members, which adds even more significance to the event for her. “The organisation is Beyond Type 1, they’re an online-based organisation aiming to change the conversation around diabetes and ultimately work for a cure,” she said. “As a runner, I saw they had this marathon team, where they get 50 people living with type one diabetes to run the New York City marathon to raise funds. So it’s really a marriage of two things that have really impacted my life; running, and being a person who has Type 1 diabetes. “They’ve got a global reach, and there’s people from Canada on the team, someone from Ecuador, they’re coming from all over. I’m really excited to meet the team in person, I can’t wait.” For more information on Ashelyrose’s diabetes story and fundraising endeavour, visit donate.beyondtype1.org/fundraiser/3970923.

Find a job you love and do it Rob MacLeod has been manager at the Potato Shed for 20 years. He speaks with Justin Flynn about his time at the iconic Bellarine Peninsula performance venue.

ob MacLeod has seen a lot of change during his 20 years as the Potato Shed’s venue manager. Just about all of it has been good. “It has gone really quick,” he says. “Naturally if you enjoy doing something, it doesn’t seem like work. “Find a job that you love and do it and you won’t even know that you’re working.I couldn’t think of anything better for the past 20 years than this.” The Drysdale performing arts venue has been home to many acts and events over Rob’s two decades. Some of the biggest include the family fun days that attracted 10,000 people and the recent 500th pantomime performance. The family fun day will now be replaced by Spook Fest later this month, which Rob promises will be big. “We’re hoping Spook Fest grows over the years,” he says. “The family fun day just got too big and too huge for a little team to manage. It went for a good 10 years and started off with a couple of thousand people.” Rob says one of the more humorous events each year at the Potato Shed has been unknowing tourists dropping in to buy some potatoes. “We had a lot of people coming in to buy potatoes – we do have some very nice potatoes around here,” he laughs. Rob says the best part of being at the spud shed was “seeing the place grow”. “Seeing people embrace it,” he says. “It took a while. Every local council has its own performing arts venue, but Geelong is

different because it’s the only city in Victoria that has a state government arts centre. “The Potato Shed is the city’s performing arts venue and I still believe there are a lot of people that believe we have the calibre of shows that other arts centres have around Australia.” Rob says the Potato Shed has a deserved reputation for allowing punters to get up close with the acts. “It’s a real boutique setting,” he says. “More than likely you’ll have a drink with

the performers in the bar afterwards. It’s such an intimate and engaging place.” The Shed has had its share of well-known performers over the years including John Woods and the Chantoozies. “It’s great to have well-known names and celebrities, but they have to produce the goods as well,” Rob says. “You can’t get away with having a bad performance at a small venue because people are only a few feet away from you.”

Rob says the small team at the Potato Shed loves what they do. “Not because it’s an easy job, it’s because we really love what we do and the feedback we get from the community is just really personally gratifying to know you are doing something for the community.” Rob says he was worried about the shed’s future during the pandemic, but was overjoyed that the recovery has exceeded all expectations.

MOTOR

Power play for Kia quiet achiever By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring The Sorento has been a major part of the Kia playbook for two decades, with the fourth generation seeing the light of day in 2020 in petrol and diesel variants. Now the range has been topped up with petrol / electric hybrids. Kia’s only seven-seat sports utility vehicle comes in the top GT-Line specification only, the straight hybrid version in front or all-wheel drive guise, while the hero model is a plug-in electric hybrid vehicle. The common-or-garden hybrid Sorento kicks off the range with the front-wheel-drive variant selling for $66,750 before on-road costs. The all-wheel-drive version carries a $3000 premium, pushing the price up to $69,750. The plug-in hybrid Sorento is on sale from $80,330 before on-roads. More spacious, more versatile with class-leading innovations wrapped in finely tailored style, says the maker, the new Sorento not only is the most high-tech Kia car ever made, but also leads the way in SUV design.

The touchscreen comes up with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto connectivity, satellite navigation details, including a sharp map display, and access to the 12-speaker Bose audio.

Engines / transmissions The Sorento Hybrid is powered by Kia’s 132 kW / 265 Nm four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine combined with a 44 kW / 264 Nm electric motor, charging a 1kWh lithium-ion battery situated under the boot floor. Power is put to ground via a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission and constant all-wheel drive.

Safety

The Kia Sorento Hybrid model can be distinguished with reworked front end and unique designer alloy wheels. (Supplied)

Styling While retaining much of the Sorento family physical features, the Hybrid has evolved with a new interpretation of the trademark ‘tiger nose’ grille, with a wider shape wrapping around the integrated LED headlights on each side. This assertive nose is complemented by a wider lower air intake, incorporating wing-shaped air curtains to channel air around the car.

panoramic sunroof lets in light, while keeping heat at bay with a blind. Finding a long journey on the boring side? Take time out to choose one of the 64 colours that bathes the cabin in ambient light, pick something from the Sounds of Nature soundscape, or just switch off entirely with the quiet of the passenger talk in-car intercom.

Interior

Infotainment

Quilted Nappa leather appointed seats (front heated and ventilated) set the theme for a cabin of quality materials and craftsmanship. Three-stage climate control air-conditioning means comfort all round for occupants, while a

Connectivity is front and centre with a 10.25-inch colour multimedia touchscreen linked to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A 7-inch LCD instrument display carries range of system info.

The position of the touch screen on the centre dash of the test car had its problems, with air-con controls underneath easy to catch accidentally while resting the palm on working the screen. Audio is handled by a six-speaker system, while dual-zone air-conditioning keeps occupants in relative comfort. Customising is the name of the game with a 10.25-inch full colour touchscreen atop the centre console, plus a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster directly in front of the driver who also has a colour head-up display, including speedo and speed limits on the windscreen.

The Sorento gained a five-star safety rating in 2020 and includes autonomous emergency braking with vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist detection, junction assist, lane-keep assist, lane follow assist (centring), blind-spot assist, rear cross-traffic alert, parking collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control with stop and / go, front and rear parking sensors, driver attention alert, multi-collision braking and safe exit assist. As well as 360-degree view of the vehicle when parking and blind-spot assist, on activation of a turn indicator, the wide-angle surround view monitors will display live footage of other vehicles in your blind spots on the instrument cluster. It also helps wheels keep their distance from scuffing the sidewalk. Passive safety is taken care of with seven airbags, including front-centre side.

Summary The Kia Sorento Hybrid may be a quiet achiever but it states a compelling case for being one of the best large seven-seat sports utility vehicles around.

SPORT

Midweek finals are far from settled LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers It was cool and overcast conditions for Tuesday’s Midweek Competition, and at round 11 with only 13 points between first and seventh in Section 4, all finals positions are still up for grabs. It was a top of the table clash this week, when Moolap travelled to Surfcoast Bellbrae. With one point separating the teams, and Bellbrae winning by two games with the sets tied in its previous match, this match had the potential to be match of the round. Moolap has an impressive record, with its three early losses decided on games difference with teams tied on sets. Since round five, the team has been dominant, and it continued its good form this week. Erica Sutherland and Felicia Johnston got the visitors off to a good start with a 6-1 win while Bellbrae countered in the second with Judy Harvey and Ann Cooper winning 6-3. From there Moolap kicked up a gear winning

the next four sets, giving the visitors a 5-1 win, and increasing their lead to seven points. Point Lonsdale moved into fourth and closed the gap on third place with their 5-1 win over Eastern Districts. While the final score looked one sided, Districts pushed Lonny in several of the sets. Tamara Gaylard and Jane Molphy opened the day for the home team with a 6-4 win, while Districts went ahead in the second with Delwyn Foster and Shelley Gioffre winning 6-2. Eastern Districts was unlucky with injury impeding the fourth set, and Lonny took sets three and four 6-2, 6-0. In the final two sets Districts tried hard and narrowly missed out going down 6-4, 7-5, with Gaylard and Molphy winning their three sets for the home team, and halving the gap to third place. Mount Moriac also had a 5-1 win this week, pushing into fifth, one point out of the four, in its clash against Ocean Grove. The Mount took full advantage of the home court advantage, however, the score belied the

quality of the tennis. Phillipa Hendry and Beni Turkson battled to take the first set for the Grove in a tie-break while Jenyce Hosking and Barb Hepburn had an easier win for the Mount in the second taking it 6-1. From there the home team pushed hard, and battled to the win taking the final four sets 7-5, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. The final set of the day was the closest, with Surfcoast Torquay hosting Portarlington. Winsome Batchelor and Melissa Coulsell opened the match with lengthy 7-5 win for the home team while Nicky Beeston and Louise Clohessy had an easier time for the Port with a 6-1 win. Portarlington also got the best of sets three and four with 6-3, 6-4 wins, but Torquay wasn’t going away and fought back in the final sets taking the fifth in a tie-break and the last 6-3. At the end of the day the teams were level on sets, with Portarlington ahead by four games, leaving it in third, but only two points away from second and the realistic possibility of a second chance when finals start in four weeks.

Cats keep on winning The wins keep coming for Geelong, with the reigning AFL premiers set to secure midfielder Jack Bowes and pick seven from Gold Coast. Bowes has declared he wants to be traded to the Cats after the Suns were happy to let the 2016 top-10 draft pick explore opportunities elsewhere. Gold Coast are determined to get rid of Bowes’ hefty contract and told rival clubs they would also be willing to part with their first-round draft pick. Hawthorn and Essendon were also vying for Bowes’ services but the 24-year-old has prioritised a move from his home state of Queensland to the perennial powerhouse in Geelong. The Cats and Gold Coast, who are yet to play finals in their 12 seasons in the AFL, will now look to finalise a deal for Bowes before the end of the trade period. The last player Geelong drafted inside the top-10 was recently retired legend Joel Selwood back in 2006. Meanwhile, former No.1 draft pick Bryce Gibbs has defended Jason Horne-Francis’ character following the talented teenager’s bombshell request to leave North Melbourne. Horne-Francis is intent on returning to his home state of South Australia to play with Port Adelaide next year, after just one season at Arden Street. The contracted 19-year-old has come under fire for wanting out of Victoria after being selected by the Kangaroos with the top pick in the 2021 draft. But former Carlton and Adelaide star Gibbs, who played with Horne-Francis at South Adelaide in the SANFL before the youngster’s ascension to the top-flight, believes the teenage midfielder is being unfairly criticised. “Some guys can hop up and leave and go do it … in other cases, kids don’t get to experience that before they’re drafted and it affects everyone differently,“ Gibbs told SEN SA on Wednesday. “It’s been well documented and well publicised that he is close to his family and he’s had a little bit of homesickness throughout the year. “But to question hi s character and things around that space, I don’t agr ee with that.“ The midfielder’s work ethic and attitude while at North have come into question and he was even dropped for one game after refusing to complete a recovery session as directed. Horne-Francis, who was taken as a No.1 draft pick 15 years after Gibbs, has also clashed with teammates on the field. North won just two games this year to collect a second-straight wooden spoon, with David Noble sacked as coach. 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 7 October, 2022

The season for snapper is here again ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos The snapper season is quickly starting to fire up with more and reports coming in every day. Both day and night are producing fish to over 8kg with bait fishing has been the most productive for anglers fishing the tide change both in the outer and inner harbour. Fishing with baits such as pilchards, silver whiting, squid and any fresh cut baits have all been working very well, a consistent burley trail of pellets and pilchard cubes are a must when targeting them. The outer harbour is holding good numbers of calamari in close from Hermsley right through to Portarlington. Anglers willing to move around and work to find a patch of them holding should have no issue in securing a bag, although the calamari don’t seem to be big in size, they sure do make up for it in numbers. Anglers casting soft plastics are also having some success landing flathead, salmon and snook making up part of a good feed and the other part some fantastic bait. Berkley Gulp Turtleback worms have yet again been the standout location. Queenscliff Bight is certainty starting to fish better and better for the calamari with reports becoming more consistent and the average size is improving. Fishing out in the ‘deep’ (10m) with the aid of additional weight to your jig has been accounting for a lot of squid. Yamashita TR Jigs have been a hot favourite. Offshore Barwon Heads has still had a few barrel tuna reports come through with boats landing fish over 100kg. The bite has slowed down a bit but if last year is anything to go by they could fire up again soon. Trolling 8-10inch skirts have been lethal. Snapper and gummy shark reports still remain consistent and seem to get better and better. Wurdi Buloc and Stoney Creek Reservoir have both been producing some quality fishing as of late with trout and redfin out and about. Anglers casting from the rock walls are having their best success on spoons and soft plastics. Redfin to over 40cm have been reported and trout to over 1.8kg. A great option if we are hit with some average weather.

In better news for North, Fremantle pair Griffin Logue and Darcy Tucker were traded to the Kangaroos on Wednesday. Versatile tall Logue is coming off his most productive season in the AFL but the former No.8 draft pick chose to leave the Dockers after North offered him a lucrative deal. Tucker was also offered better opportunities with the Kangaroos after 108 games at Fremantle.

Elsewhere, Western Bulldogs premiership defender Zaine Cordy has finalised his move to St Kilda as an unrestricted free agent. The Saints traded Be n Long and a future fourth-round selection pick to Gold Coast in exchange for pick 32. The Suns have also acquired Tom Berry in a deal with Brisbane that involved a suite of pick swaps. – AAP

The AFLW Cats will look to make it three wins in a row when they face Essendon this weekend at the Reid Oval in Warrnambool. Geelong currently sits in sixth position, one of four teams with a 4-2 record, while the Bombers occupy 10th spot with two wins after six games. Cats coach Dan Lowther said playing finals was “the plan” after the side’s solid start to the season and that he was aiming for a top four finish to secure the all-important second chance in the finals. “If we just look after each game, it should fall into place,” Lowther said. “[The double chance] is something I’m aiming towards as an end-of-season expectation, particularly where we’re sitting now. “To play finals, coming from where we’ve been the last few years, is a realistic opportunity that we want to aim for. Top four would be even better.” Lowther said despite Essendon’s hit and miss first half of the season, the Cats wouldn’t be taking anything for granted. “Each game now is like a mini-final, and Essendon are exceptional, the way they’ve put together a team,” he said. “They’ve had less preparation time than most, and they’ve hung in there and played some good footy against some good teams. “Last week was a blip on the map for them, I think, the way they got outdone by the Lions. We’re expecting a big challenge this week.”
