White Night attracted about 93,000 people to Geelong’s CBD in a celebration of music, art, culture and community as the world-renowned event returned to the city for the first time in four years. The night featured exhibitions, installations and projections and brought the city’s streets, parks and buildings to life in a dazzling display of signature building projections, giant inflatables and all night music. ■ See page 24 for the full story and more Ivan Kemp pictures.

Geelong a caring city Census data released Wednesday has revealed nearly 20 per cent of workers in the Geelong region are employed in the healthcare and other social assistance services industry, significantly more than the rest of the state and country. Healthcare and social assistance services account for 19.6 per cent of Geelong’s workforce, compared to the national figure of about 15 per cent. The Australian Bureau of Statistics website reports that Australia is a “caring nation”, with one in seven people working in healthcare and social assistance.

“There are now over 1.7 million people working in healthcare and social assistance in Australia, of which 30 percent are working in hospitals,” Australian statistician Dr David Gruen said. The figures show how much Geelong contributes to the health of the region and the state, but that contribution also comes with a potential hidden cost. While 25.7 per cent of Victorians were able to work from home on the day of last year’s Census, only 18.7 per cent of workers in the Geelong region were able to do so. While workers in many industries are

able to work at or near their usual levels of productivity from home, many healthcare and social assistance workers were required by the nature of their work to be on-site throughout COVID-19 lockdowns. The difference in work from home figures between Geelong and the rest of the state is more than accounted for by the larger number of healthcare and social assistance workers in Geelong. Barwon Health spokesperson Kate Bibby acknowledged that reality for healthcare workers and thanked staff for their contributions, both ongoing and throughout

the pandemic period. “The majority of Barwon Health’s workforce are clinical staff and unable to work from home due to their responsibilities to provide care for patients,” Ms Bibby said. “Our staff have shown incredible resilience since COVID-19 first appeared in Geelong, and have continued this effort as the community adapts to life with COVID-19. “There have been periods of incredible demand on our workforce since 2020, and we’re extremely proud of the achievements we’ve made to continue offering high quality care throughout.”

Town boundaries finally locked Ocean Grove Community Association hopes the state government’s promise to protect the Bellarine Peninsula from overdevelopment finally brings an end to a three-year battle with developers. Premier Daniel Andrews and Bellarine MP Lisa Neville last week visited Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club to deliver Labor’s Statement of Planning Policy for the Bellarine Peninsula’s ‘distinctive area and landscape’ (DAL) – setting out a 50-year vision for the region to guide development controls and

boundaries. It means all town boundaries on the Bellarine have been locked in and can only be changed through legislation with the support of both houses of state parliament. About 8600 people signed an ‘Enough is Enough’ online petition to prevent developers from building on the land to the west of Grubb Road, the land east of Banks Road, and the strip of land to the north between the current Oakdene housing development and the Bellarine Highway to be included in the Ocean Grove Town Settlement Boundary. Ocean Grove Community Association chair

Andy McKoy said he is hopeful that the long running exercise to permanently lock in Ocean Grove’s town boundary is finally over. “We would like to think developers will refrain from undertaking future legal challenge to the government’s decision given the very clearly demonstrated strong community support for retention of the town’s boundaries in their current location,” he said. “We would like to say thank you to all the people in our community and across the wider Bellarine who showed their support and desire and signed the ‘Enough is Enough’ online petition.“

Water program saving megalitres Barwon Water is helping businesses such as GeelongPort make significant water savings through its Business Water Savings Grants Program. After successfully applying for funding through the program, GeelongPort installed seven data loggers at their site. A year later, the loggers have enabled the business to identify leaks of various sizes around the port precinct, leading to water savings of thousands of kilolitres. GeelongPort environment specialist Nelson Taylor said a recently detected leak in the port could have resulted in megalitres of lost water if not for the data loggers.

’’

“The loggers, which are attached to a portal so staff have 24-7 access to usage data, recently alerted us to a leak of 1.85kl per minute that occurred under one of the port’s berths,” Mr Taylor said. “Without the logger, the water loss could have amounted to 18.6 ML if gone unnoticed for a week.” The port checks the data regularly, Mr Taylor said, which allows it to pick up and investigate any extended periods of unexpected water flow and helps to report on the efficiency of environmental KPIs and goals. “This process has helped us locate and repair four large leaks over the past 12 months, some of which may have run unnoticed in underground pipes for extended periods of time had the data loggers not been installed. “With the loggers providing real time data and alerts, unusual consumption is noticed immediately and investigated. “The data from the loggers is also matched

Big steps for little babies Walk for Prems, an annual event held to raise awareness and funds for the 48,000 babies born sick or premature in Australia each year, will be held on Sunday, October 23. Now in its 13th year, Walk for Prems is the largest fundraising event for the Life’s Little Treasures Foundation, which supports the families of babies born before 37 weeks gestation. Kathryne and Mathew Tabb are the parents of little Charlie, who arrived three months early with a raft of health problems including severely underdeveloped lungs. After receiving help and support from Life’s Little Treasures after Charlie’s birth, the Tabbs have mobilised their relatives and friends to join in on this year’s Walk for Prems. “When we were in the Special Care Nursery one of the ladies asked me if I’d heard about Life’s Little Treasures,” Mrs Tabb said.

“I hadn’t, and she told me about the support they provide and the little pack with goodies and information they give you. Knowing exactly what was available was just great. And when I saw the walk was coming up, I thought it would be really good for my family and friends to connect and get behind Charlie and Life’s Little Treasures.” The theme of this year’s walk is ‘Big Steps for Little Treasures’, and Life’s Little Treasures chief executive Felicia Welstead said it perfectly encapsulated the foundation’s intention. “We are encouraging everyone to step up and step out to help raise awareness and much needed funds for families of premature and sick babies. Walk for Prems is a wonderfully inclusive and supportive community event and we have planned lots of great activities and competitions throughout the countdown to the event,” she said.

Laura Kendall said GeelongPort’s outcomes were a great example of what businesses could achieve. “The grants are designed to help high-water-use businesses save our precious drinking water resources and save themselves money at the same time,” she said. “Well done on GeelongPort for coming up with a great water saving project.”

Ms Neville and City of Greater Geelong mayor Peter Murrihy also welcomed the announcement. “We support the Victorian government’s work to implement the directions of the Greater Geelong Settlement Strategy to direct future greenfield growth away from the Bellarine to urban Geelong. This is about directing future growth to preferred locations and protecting our unique natural environment on the Bellarine,” Cr Murrihy said. “As a responsible public entity, council will consider the endorsement of the statement of planning policy at a future council meeting.”

Libs to slash V/Line fares V/Line commuters across Greater Geelong will have their train fares slashed by 50 per cent if the Liberal Party wins the state election. Opposition leader Matthew Guy announced that regional train fares will be cut by half for at least four years and said that cheaper transport costs are a key part of the Coalition’s long-term economic plan. According to the Coalition under the plan, a daily commuter travelling from Geelong to Melbourne would save $1762 a year, Ballarat to Melbourne $2074 a year and Bendigo to Melbourne $2408 a year. The Coalition will also impose $2 flat fares for local train, tram and bus travel, which it says will help ease road congestion and encourage more sustainable transport choices. The plan includes buses servicing Greater Geelong. “For regional Victorians, public transport costs can run into thousands a year. Our plan will cut this in half and allows households to put those savings into what really matters,” Mr Guy said. Opposition public transport spokesperson Danny O’Brien said halving V/Line fares was a solution to reward and support regional Victorian families. “By halving V/Line fares, our plan will keep more money in regional Victorians’ pockets, while at the same time stimulating tourism in regional Victoria,” he said. “We also know and share the frustration of regional Victorians who turn up expecting a train, only to be greeted all too frequently under Labor by a bus. When this occurs, we’ll make that travel free.”

Festive tree floats back Geelong’s floating Christmas tree is set to be turned on with a free community celebration on Saturday, November 12. A lucky local child will get to flick the switch to turn on the iconic tree with Santa. The community event is back for the first time since 2018, after the celebrations were rained out in 2019 and cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions. The event has been moved to a Saturday night as a trial to see whether more families and visitors from outside the region will travel for the festivities and boost Geelong’s economy. Opening night celebrations include a stage show, roving performers and live entertainment. “Everyone looks forward to the return of the tree to Geelong, but this year’s celebrations

will be so much bigger and better now that we can again celebrate together as a community,” mayor Peter Murrihy said. “This year, we will also see a return of more in-person activities, with the 2022 program being more accessible and held in more venues than ever before. Projections on City Hall will also be turned on the same night.” Out of 12 finalists on the night, one child will be randomly drawn to flick the switch with Santa. The competition is now open and can be entered at bit.ly/3Ri07Vh. The light show on the tree will be changed three times, running from November 12 to December 2, December 3 to December 25 and December 26 to January 8. Geelong company Total Events will spend the week before the opening event testing and programming the LED lights.

I’m a member of the local Geelong One Fire Reconciliation Group. I am personally so pleased that Geelong Council has responded to the request of their Kilangitj Aboriginal Advisory Committee to bring a conversation about 26 January to the community of Geelong. All of us. This date for celebrating a day which is so significantly associated with the invasion of Aboriginal lands seems very contrary to enabling truth telling and the journey we are on for a just and safe community for everyone. I look forward to hearing the views of local First Nations people, and ideas for how we respond locally in the future to this current national holiday. We are having good conversations amongst the non-First Nations members of One Fire. My sense is that many of us are pained by not having addressed this date in our colonising history. We’re energised by the conversations together now. Even when we have different ideas about what to do next. Everyone can contribute on the Geelong Council 26 January ‘Your Say’ page. I hope that we can continue conversations, listen and move to a more honest and connected whole of community. Vicky Grosser, Manifold Heights

TEDx comes to Torquay By Justin Flynn A Torquay mum of four who quit her executive role in Melbourne to start her own business is bringing the TEDx Conference to the Surf Coast. Five years ago in a pre-pandemic world Annelise Worn realised that she needed to escape the rat race of the big smoke and started her small-business and is the sole bread winner with her husband home schooling their two eldest children. Annelise says women are pioneering change in regional Victoria and that’s why she brought the global TEDx Conference (TEDxBellsBeachWomen) close to home. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design and a TED Conference format is fast-paced: 50-plus talks over the course of three days to a week, in addition to interviews, debates, workshops, activities, interactive exhibits, evening events and parties. TEDx means the event is independently organised under a free licence granted by TED. TEDxBellsBeachWomen will feature TEDTalks video and speakers to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. “For many, the move to the coast has meant a lifestyle shift with freedom a core value,” Annelise said. “On the ground as a mother of four little ones, a small business owner (freeceo.tech) and an active member of the community – the most pronounced of these shifts through my lens involves work, education and changing stereotypically gender based roles. “Our own household now sees me as the sole income earner with my husband home schooling our two eldest. But our story is not entirely unique. “The Surfcoast Women’s Business Community has over 800 members. Many

of whom are pioneering incredibly creative business models that better match the shift in values brought forward after two years of disruption. “Locally, as we march forward with innovation, infrastructure and development opportunities for women, particularly working mothers, continue to expand. To celebrate these shifts and the growth of our region – we’re bringing the TEDx Conference to Torquay.”

The event will feature virtual guest speakers Nadia Drake (science journalist), Jane Fonda (actor and activist), Heidi B Hammel (astronomer), Angelique Kidjo (singer songwriter), Vanessa Nakate (climate justice activist), Femi Oke (journalist) and Mary Robinson (human rights advocate). TEDxBellsBeachWomen is at RACV Torquay Resort on November 7. Details: tedxbellsbeachwomen.com

Better mobile infrastructure South Barwon Darren MP Cheeseman has announced a partnership between the Victorian government and telecommunications providers to deliver 25 mobile infrastructure projects in South Barwon. Part of Labor’s Connecting Victoria program, the partnership intends to improve mobile services in local suburbs, including Armstrong Creek, Mount Duneed, Grovedale and Highton. In conjunction with its telecommunications partners, including Axicom, Telstra and TGP, the government projects it will build 12 new mobile towers and upgrade 13 others to 5G by 2026. Mr Cheeseman said the improvements to mobile services were important to the growth of the region. “It helps connect residents, support businesses and attract tourists, allowing local economies to thrive. This will be a game-changer for many people in South Barwon’s growing suburbs, supporting the area’s growth by ensuring everyone can access the best mobile connectivity,” he said. “This investment in Geelong and the Surf Coast will boost local economies and ensure all Victorians can access connectivity that allows them to work or learn from home, get in touch with loved ones or seek help in emergencies.” Mount Duneed will receive four new towers, while two new towers will be built in the suburbs of Bellbrae, Ceres, Charlemont and Jan Juc.

Hunt is on for new tourism boss Tourism Greater Geelong and The Bellarine’s Brett Ince has called time on his three-and-ahalf-year stint as executive director. Mr Ince will finish up on October 28 and has been a key force in supporting Greater Geelong and The Bellarine’s tourism industry through its recovery of the pandemic, helping tourism spending in the region to bounce back to its pre-pandemic high of being a $1.1 billion visitor economy. Mr Ince is leaving to take up a position

as Regional Development Victoria’s Barwon South West regional director. Mr Ince has held several key leadership roles including Parks Victoria tourism and visitor experience director, Tourism Greater Geelong and The Bellarine tourism deputy executive director and Geelong Otway Tourism business manager. “I’m very grateful for my time with Tourism Greater Geelong and The Bellarine and the genuine relationships I’ve developed

throughout the industry,” Mr Ince said. “I leave very proud of everything we’ve achieved together, especially in recent years. “I’m excited to take on this opportunity and important role for the Barwon South West region while being able to continue working with a region I know and love.” Deputy executive director Tracy Carter will be acting executive director from October 28 while recruitment for a new executive director gets under way. The position will be

advertised. “As deputy executive director, I have worked very closely with Brett during his time at the helm of Tourism Greater Geelong and The Bellarine, particularly as we navigated the challenges of the pandemic these past couple of years,” Ms Carter said. “With the support of our board and the diligence of our team, TGGB will continue to focus on our strategies and implement projects while the process to appoint a permanent executive director is undertaken.”

Vigil for slain Afghans Geelong rallied behind the Afghan community at a candlelit vigil on Monday night for the 87 students, mostly girls, who were killed in a suicide attack at a school in Kabul on September 30. The vigil, held at Johnstone Park, mourned the senseless deaths of the students of the Kaj Education Institute, all of whom were aged 16 to 19 and members of the persecuted Hazaras ethnic minority. World Hazara Council spokesperson Sitarah Mohammadi said the response to the worldwide vigils had been amazing. “These vigils are happening around the world, across five continents and in 100 cities,” Ms Mohammadi said. “The response has been phenomenal. We’ve also launched the #stophazaragenocide online campaign last year, but since the latest attack in Kabul it has gained huge momentum and energy on social media. “The hashtag has been used over eight million times on Twitter, which is raising awareness of the atrocities against the Hazaras and the

crimes of genocide they’ve been facing.” Ms Mohammadi said the Kaj Institute attack was just the latest in a systematic, targeted pattern of violence against the Hazara people. “In May last year we had an attack on another girls’ high school, again, in the Dasht-e-Barchi area of West Kabul, home to the Hazaras,” she said. “In April this year we had another suicidal attack on a boys’ high school that killed scores of people, wounded scores of others. “This is just another attack as part of the ongoing series of attacks against the Hazara people.” Ms Mohammadi said anyone who wanted to help bring attention to the violence being meted out to the Hazaras could lend their voice to the social media campaign or contact their local MP. “For anyone who’s on social media, on Twitter, please get on board with the global movement and use the hashtag,” she said. “And I would urge everyone to contact their local MPs, to ask them what the Australian government is doing about these atrocities.”

Truckie jailed for killing driver By Tara Cosoleto, AAP A Victorian truck driver who killed a grandmother after running a red light after being distracted by a phone call has been jailed for nearly three years. Nada Stoyanovski was driving with her young granddaughter near Geelong when an 18-tonne truck driven by Ellyas Bouras crashed into her Toyota Corolla on January 10. The 64-year-old grandmother died at the scene while her toddler grand-daughter escaped with minor injuries. County Court Judge Michael Tinney said

Mrs Stoyanovski’s death was unnecessary and completely avoidable. “She shouldn’t have died,“ Judge Tinney said in his sentencing Bouras on Thursday. “Her life was priceless and she can’t be replaced. There will be no comfort for (her family) in the sentence I impose.“ Bouras, who pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death, was not speeding or fatigued at the time of the crash, nor did he have drugs or alcohol in his system. He claims he was distracted by a phone call when he ran the red light at the intersection of two ring roads.

“For whatever reason, you simply weren’t concentrating,“ Judge Tinney said. “You were not paying anything like the sufficient attention needed for your task.“ Bouras had no prior criminal convictions, no blemishes on his traffic record and he had clearly shown deep remorse, Judge Tinney said. But the 39-year-old’s prior good character, remorse and excellent prospects of rehabilitation did not detract from the gravity of the offence, the judge said. “No one is suggesting you’re revelling in this. “No one is saying you’re a bad man.

Plainly, you’re not. “I do not doubt that you will regret Mrs Stoyanovski’s death for the rest of your life.“ It was far too common for people with no criminal history to end up in court for serious driving offences, Judge Tinney said. The court needed to send a message to the community that dangerous drivi ng must be punished, he said. Bouras was sentenced to two years and 10 months in jail. He will be eligible for parole in just under 18 months. His licence was cancelled and he was disqualified from driving for two years.

Trivia for a good cause Encompass’ first ever All Abilities Ball is a step closer with Geelong Greyhound Racing Club (GGRC) joining the cause by hosting a trivia night to raise funds for the event. Encompass is a NDIS provider which has been actively engaged in the Geelong region for more than 37 years. Encompass general manager Janelle Davey said the trivia night will raise money to stage an event that has been highly anticipated since the start of the pandemic. “Another colleague and I came up with this idea back in 2020 but COVID stopped it from coming to life until this year,” she said. “The ball is about giving people of all abilities the chance to make the experience whatever they want it to be. We want to create an inclusive environment that allows everyone to have a good time.” Encompass individual support manager Tracey Kenshole said GGRC was willing to

help right from the beginning. “People don’t realise how much time and effort goes into organising an event like this from both sides,” she said. “There are always a lot of last-minute changes, but it is great to know that the club has our back and is willing to help.” The trivia night will be held at GGRC’s Beckley Park track on October 15 and is open to all members of the public. Tickets (encompass-cs.org.au/) cost $35 per person or $300 for a table of 10. All tickets include complimentary finger food and drinks at bar prices, as well as the chance to win some major prizes in a silent auction.

More Mental Health Services for Greater Geelong Hundreds of Geelong residents will have better access to mental health support, with the Andrew Government opening a new mental health facility in North Geelong, easing pressure on the health system. The new 16-bed acute mental health facility at Barwon Health’s McKellar Centre will support an extra 355 Victorians each year. The facility includes inpatient acute mental health services and community-based care in a contemporary and safe hospital setting, easing pressure on University Hospital Geelong’s emergency department. The VIctorian Government’s also investing $16 million to deliver a Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol Services Community Hub in central Geelong.

We’re also establishing a dedicated inpatient youth mental health service, catering specifically for young people aged 16-25. The site will be one of five across the state and is expected to reduce pressure on hospital beds by providing early intervention care and an alternative to hospital admission with recovery focused treatment. The youth beds are currently under construction. We know our mental health system needs to care for every Victorian who needs it. We’re not wasting a moment in delivering the Royal Commission’s recommendations – because lives depend on it.

The five-storey hub on Moorabool Street will provide greater access to treatment and support services for members of the community experiencing mental-ill health and addiction.

Judge urges ice ‘scourge’ action By Emily Woods, AAP A Victorian judge has called for state and federal governments to do more to reduce the scourge of methamphetamine on the community, as he jailed a drug-addled man for a violent murder. Bradley Taylor, 37, stabbed Christopher Kennedy to death in June 2020 during a drug-induced psychosis in Norlane, near Geelong.

A neighbour heard Mr Kennedy shout “f*** off and don’t come back” about 8pm before Taylor stabbed him 11 times in the chest. Taylor, who had taken methamphetamine, grabbed a plastic bag and tied it around Mr Kennedy’s head. His lawyer said Taylor used the bag to “catch his thoughts” as voices were falsely telling him the man was a pedophile. Taylor turned on the gas stove, opened the oven and placed toilet rolls on the stove before leaving. A community nurse found Mr Kennedy’s

body the next day, covered by a doona. Taylor pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to 23 years in prison in Victoria’s Supreme Court on Friday, October 7. Justice Lex Lasry described the offending as terrible and violent and said community protection was an important factor in sentencing. “This is a terribly sad case. Primarily it is sad because the man who lost his life in the most violent circumstances had done nothing to deserve the treatment you inflicted on him,” he said. “On top of that, his family have had to deal not only with his loss but to defend him against the completely empty allegation that he

was somehow sexually interested in children.” Justice Lasry called on governments and the community to do more to address the widespread use of ice. “This case is also another example of the tragedy of the failure of the community to understand and deal with the scourge of methamphetamine addiction,” he said. “Governments must do more, they must spend more money on facilities which can either cure or prevent the chronic overuse of methylamphetamine. “The effect of methylamphetamine seems to me to be evident in almost every case I’ve tried in recent years.”

Work starts on hospital Premier Dan Andrews visited University Hospital Geelong on Friday, October 7 to mark the beginning of works on the new half-abillion-dollar Barwon Women’s and Children’s Hospital. The premier said the new facility, which will give local families world-class maternity and paediatric services, will double the amount of families Barwon Health can service. “The new Barwon Women’s and Children’s Hospital will ensure more families can get the care they need – close to home in Geelong,” Mr Andrews said. “This redevelopment of more than $500 million is all about mums, bubs and children in this growing community getting the care they’re entitled to. “The new hospital will be tailor-made to suit the needs of local women and children, with more specialist services and better

infrastructure for staff. “More beds, more theatres, more babies born, less families having to travel outside the local community.” The new hospital will have direct access to facilities such as intensive care, emergency and the helipad at University Hospital Geelong, and will feature more multi-day beds, birthing suites and induction spaces, expanded specialist facilities and new operating theatres. The facility will also include a new neonatal and parent care unit to provide care for sick and preterm babies, as well as contemporary spaces and wards for children to help make medical care less intimidating. Site preparations will continue throughout 2023 with works expected to be completed in 2029, and the government projects the development will directly and indirectly provide up to 1500 new jobs in the region.

COMMENT GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

Geelong proves it’s a good sport By Cr Peter Murrihy Whether it’s Big Bash cricket, A-League football, UCI World Tour cycling, sailing, baseball, golf, Ironman triathlons, and more – we have a high quality and wide-ranging sporting calendar. In the short term, there’s plenty to look forward to. The colour and thrills of international cricket will take over GMHBA Stadium for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Geelong Korea is back here for the Australian Baseball League season from November. And for the first time in three years, The Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race will hit the streets in January. Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome the Men’s T20 World Cup trophy to Geelong. It has been on a very interesting journey – travelling more than 100,000km over about 100 days – to arrive here. But here it is, and I’m told here in Geelong it will stay until it is raised in victory at the final next month. Geelong is really proud to be involved in the biggest sporting event in Australia this year. As the only regional city hosting matches, we’re showcasing to both the country, and the world, our ability to host premier sporting events. It’s an honour that we get to kick off the tournament with a double header this Sunday. We know from previous matches at GMHBA Stadium that getting Sri Lanka here is a great coup, as they have a strong and passionate supporter base already in Victoria. We’re also pleased to welcome players, support staff and fans from Namibia, United Arab Emirates and Netherlands to the region.

On the back of a Cats flag and the huge turnout to White Night last Saturday, Geelong is a very exciting place to be right now. The latest tourism data, to the end of June this year, shows we’ve rebounded from the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic. Visitor spending has returned to the pre-pandemic highs, with our daytrip and overnight stay numbers soaring. Our own data, through Geelong Major Events, shows that about 60 per cent of attendees of our existing major events calendar are from outside Greater Geelong. The T20 World Cup will keep that momentum going through October. I encourage you to get down to the stadium and to check out some of the action. With even better facilities for cricket included in the final stage of the redevelopment of GMHBA Stadium, we’re hoping we can feature even more on Cricket Australia’s calendar in coming years. We’ve already proven that we have the facilities – backed by the population and pulling power – to continue to provide a great atmosphere and spectacle for all sporting codes. Council is really excited by the potential for the 2026 Commonwealth Games to take our offering to the next level. It’s amazing think we’ll be able to atch our own sporting stars right here in regional Victoria at the next Commonwealth Games. But the opportunities the hosting of the Games will create for all members of the community is the most exciting prospect.

The Gordon Institute director of education and veteran nurse Sue Spozetta welcomed the state government’s recent announcement of a $270 million nursing and midwifery package, but said nursing required urgent attention at the federal level. The initiative will provide free degrees, training, and upskilling for nurses and midwives from 2023. Ms Spozetta said while the Victorian government’s nursing and midwifery package would help attract more nurses, more needed to be done. “Any initiative at all that can bring people into nursing, I’m 100 per cent behind it,” Ms Spozetta said. “But to retain nurses, the biggest thing is wages, and after that it’s about wellness. Especially during COVID-19, there was no room for people to take wellness time, because there wasn’t anyone else to do the job. “Any job that deals with life-threatening or life-critical incidents needs more support for the wellness of its people. Having been in the job and watching people burn out and leave in droves, it’s obviously not being looked at, it’s still not a priority. “When I started nursing we used to have debriefing sessions, because some of the shifts are quite awful. It’s a small thing, but those niceties don’t exist because there’s no money to pay for it.” Quarterly data from the National Skills Priority List (SPL) released on Thursday, October 6 revealed nursing is the highest in-demand profession in Australia. The SPL report on the data highlighted 9266 advertised vacancies for registered nurses, more than double that in 2020, and noted that all 12 registered nurse occupations on its list

were in shortage in 2022. The Australian College of Nursing (ACN) has also called for greater investments targeting the recruitment and retention of nurses after the release of the SPL data. ACN chief executive Adjunct Professor Kylie Ward said the data was unsurprising to nurses and the workforce crisis needed to be addressed. “The data draws attention to the urgent need to recruit and retain nurses,” Adjunct Professor Ward said. “Retention must be a priority focus,” she said. “An easy-to-implement solution is to support nurses of all ages and career levels to receive leadership training and professional development. “This will assist with recruitment and retention by demonstrating our extensive skills and value, as well as providing a clear pathway for early-career nurses looking to progress their careers. “We have recently advocated for a one-off waiving of HECS debt, improved support for overseas nurses wishing to call Australia home and a tax-free pandemic bonus.”

Local staff take Cotton On from Geelong to the world As an iconic Aussie brand, Cotton On has proudly clothed and supported Aussies for over 30 years. As a Geelong-born brand, the group first began selling denim jackets at the local Beckley Market. Following the 1991 opening of the first Cotton On store, Cotton On Group has grown to encompass eight brands. As a Geelong-run business, Cotton On’s proud commitment to the region continues to this day, employing approximately 1000 local team members in the Avalon distribution centre alone. Driven by a purpose to make a positive difference in people’s lives, Cotton On products quickly became popular throughout Australia. Shortly after this, the group took its Aussie lifestyle brands to the world, doing good along the way, including through the Cotton On Foundation. The brand has remained rooted in Geelong, growing from their first distribution centre – a small shed in Breakwater – to their current 35,000 square metre distribution centre in Avalon, with plans to soon extend to 50,000 square metres. Every piece of stock in Australian Cotton On stores originates from the Avalon distribution centre, with the option for customers to have their Cotton On goods delivered straight to their door. The team at the Avalon distribution centre work consistently and efficiently to ensure positive experiences for customers across Australia. Cotton On’s Avalon distribution centre is a finalist in this year’s Geelong Business Excellence Awards (GBEAs). “We’re extremely proud to be recognised by the community as a GBEA finalist with a number of other great local businesses,” says Andy Sanderson, general manager of group distribution. “Our roots are in Geelong and our hearts are here too.

True South Film tells authentic stories that resonate Founded in 2014 by Caleb Plumridge, True South Film has grown from a one-man band to a highly skilled team of five. Born and bred in Geelong, True South Film is a proud local business and the team loves living and working in the region. Despite its growth over the past eight years, True South Film’s goal has remained the same: to tell authentic stories. “Whether that’s through animation, documentary or even commercial work, we always strive to tell the authentic story of our clients,” says Caleb. Some of their first clients from 2014 are still clients today, however the business’s client base has since grown exponentially to include government agencies, universities, music artists and small, medium and large businesses. Caleb explains how he stumbled upon his love of film and video production. Beginning as a hobby he enjoyed with his cousin, Caleb created whatever he could with a camera. “One thing led to the next and a family member asked me to film their wedding,” he explains. “Before I knew it, businesses were approaching me to produce short videos – at that point, I could not believe my luck. I just couldn’t believe that somebody would be willing to part with their hard-earned cash for a video.” True South Film has been partnering with local charities and initiatives to provide heavily discounted or even completely free video production services. “It’s incredibly supportive – Geelong people want to see Geelong people have a win,” Caleb says of the Geelong and surrounding communities. This year, True South Film entered the Geelong Business Excellence Awards (GBEAs) for the first time, and is now a finalist.

The True South Film team comprises producer Nicole Freeman, director Caleb Plumridge, filmmaker Ben Raimondo, director of photography Aidan Mair and creative director James Duggan. (Supplied)

Caleb explains that the GBEA entry process forced him and the team to have a deep look at the business from a more objective viewpoint to figure out areas in need of improvement. “It’s the fastest way to learn an incredible amount about your business,” Caleb says. “I’d recommend it to other businesses in the

area, but I’d say it’s not about winning. Don’t enter simply with the ambition to win - enter with the ambition to learn.” Thanks to major sponsor LBW Business + Wealth advisors, the 2022 GBEAs celebrate clever, creative and connected businesses in Geelong and the Bellarine, as well as the Surf

River’s Gift keeps giving After 5 By Matt Hewson The Geelong Chamber of Commerce’s latest After 5 networking event marked a return to the public sphere for event host River’s Gift, Australia’s premier SIDS-based charity, after two years of COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions. In a touching presentation to 250 representatives of the Geelong business community at GMHBA stadium’s President’s Room, River’s Gift founders Alexandra Hamilton and Karl Waddell described their ongoing commitment to SIDS research and support. “When COVID hit we went from doing events frequently and being really active within the community to doing things behind the scenes,” Alexandra said. “We were still working with families, funding research, still educating, but not really out there in the business community. “So we felt the After 5 event was a really great opportunity for us to get out there and talk about the work we do and how important it is. “We were so thrilled, we had so many businesses come and say they really didn’t know what we did and how it really struck a chord with them.” Alexandra and Karl lost their son River to SIDS in November, 2011, when he was just 128 days old. In the aftermath, the couple looked into supporting SIDS research through an already-established charity, but struggled to find where to give their support. “If, when we lost River, we could have found an organisation that was funding amazing SIDS research and just done a fundraiser and donated the money to them, it probably would have made our lives a lot easier,” Alexandra said.

“But there was a gap there. And we actually raised $15,000 through River’s funeral, so we sat with a researcher for probably eight hours, who took us through SIDS research in layman’s terms, and we thought, why is this not being

funded? “So that’s how we started. We sent early career researchers from Australia out to Harvard Medical School hoping they could come back and ignite research back here. Then

we connected with the University of South Australia, and the research we’re doing there is world-leading, it’s never been done before. “There was a gap, and we’d never run a charity before; we were just two parents that thought, this can’t happen anymore. Our son can’t just be a statistic that just happened.” In Karl’s address to the After 5 event, he thanked the Geelong community for its ongoing support. “If we’d started River’s Gift in Box Hill,would we have received the same kind of support we have from the people of Geelong?” he asked “We’ll never know, but we can’t thank the community enough.” Alexandra and Karl invited the public to get involved with River’s Gift’s Shine Blue appeal, which runs for the 128 days between July 2 and November 7 to mark the all-important 128 days of River’s life. “We’re trying to get people to donate $128 between now and November 7, which is also River’s 11th anniversary,” Alexandra said. “Even through COVID, when Karl and I had to step down and get other jobs, we’ve alway known, it doesn’t matter what happens, we’re never going to stop doing this. “For us, we need to find out why River died. There’s no point just continuing to do safe sleep education, when a lot of these babies are safely slept, we need to find out what is happening to them.” Chamber chief executive Ben Flynn thanked River’s Gift for hosting the event and highlighted the importance of Alexandra and Karl’s work. “River’s Gift has been a member for a long time, they’re very much part of the Chamber family,” Mr Flynn said. “Tonight was a real reality check that showed how the great work River’s Gift does is so needed and so appreciated by those who get their support.”

The Guide GARDENING AUSTRALIA ABC TV, Friday, 7.30pm

PICK OF THE WEEK EK

Whether your yard resembles an idyllic, bloom-filled scene from The Secret Garden or your balcony is littered with pots of withered and thirsty plants, there’s no prerequisite for being an ardent fan of this long-running gardening series. Bearded host Costa Georgiadis’s enthusiasm and passion for greenery and community spirit can fill anyone’s cup with joy and optimism – and you might even learn a thing or two about horticulture. Tonight, Georgiadis (pictured) meets a turf technician to learn about creating nature’s green carpet. Jerry Coleby-Williams also visits a cloister garden and Sophie Thomson learns a topiary technique to give outdoor space the wow-factor. TOM GLEESON’S SECRETS OF THE AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM ABC TV, Tuesday, 8.30pm

The usually sarcastic and always hilarious Tom Gleeson (pictured) is a little more serious than usual as he hosts this special Catalyst episode that goes behind the scenes of The Australian Museum’s Sharks exhibition. Three years in the making, this is an expansive ode to those terrifying denizens of the deep, as Gleeson gets a closeup view of the exhibit’s different sections, and meets the scores of people it takes to put such a monumental project together, including catching up with Bidjigal Dharawal man Ray Timbery on New South Wales’ South Coast to craft a stone-axe, which will be on display as part of the exhibit. CELEBRITY LETTERS AND NUMBERS SBS, Monday, 7.30pm

THE TRAITORS 10, Sunday, 7.30pm

Merge The Mole with an Agatha ha Christie mystery, set it in a spooky ookyy old mansion and you have thiss ich tantalising reality series, in which 24 contestants try to uncoverr the saboteurs in their ranks. Hosted by Doctor Doctor star Rodger Corser (pictured), the backstabbing and undermining ngg aallll takes place in a lush old hotel, aass ry the contestants, or ‘Faithful’, try to avoid being taken out by four ourr eirr ei dastardly traitors (inset) in their turn tu rn midst. Thankfully, they can return the favour and vote out thosee o they suspect that are up to no good, but must be careful nott to vote out an ally by mistake. om Tense and nerve-wracking from the outset, this new reality concept is a welcome reprievee from the usual formats.

Some very funny guests are dropping to take part in this light-hearted game show this week, as comedians Gen Fricker, Harley Breen and Concetta Caristo put their brains to the test. Host Michael Hing always keep things bright and breezy and the affable David Astle and Lily Serna (both pictured with Hing, far right) inject plenty of wit and wisdom along the way. Fricker and Breen might have a tough time defeating Caristo, a veritable veteran of the show, with this being her fifth appearance so far as a contestant. Expect plenty of laughs and sharp banter as the trio battle it out to win the episode’s prestigious prize – a single volume of the long-defunct Oceaniapaedia encyclopedia.

World-class veterinary referral hospital in Newtown Geelong Animal Referral Services is a purpose built, state of the art, veterinary referral hospital located in Newtown, Geelong. Opening early September 2022, the hospital is truly world-class, already attracting referrals from the greater Barwon Region, Melbourne, Southwestern Victoria, South Australia and Southern NSW. The nearest facilities with capabilities similar to GARS are located in Melbourne and Adelaide. The hospitals founders, Dr Ricky Cashmore and Dr Adrian Wallace, both grew up in regional Victoria and had a vision to bring first-class animal care out of the state’s capital. Both directors are highly experienced and dynamic specialist small animal surgeons. Prior to opening the hospital, Ricky and Adrian were already servicing veterinary clinics in the Barwon region via their mobile referral business, Melbourne Animal Referral Services, with very strong relationships already developed within Barwon veterinary community. The beautiful greenspace area overlooking the Balyang golf course and the Barwon River was located as a suitable site for the hospital in 2020. The tranquil location was specifically selected for staff, clients and pets alike. Construction commenced soon after, with a dedicated medical and veterinary fitout team completing the build to exacting standards. Recruitment of a tremendous team of specialists followed soon after, with Dr Helsa Teh and Dr Scott McCann heading up the internal medicine department. Dr Nicole Trigg was recruited to head up the emergency department as a specialist in emergency and critical care with Dr Tesh Smalle and Dr Alex Santamaria providing exceptional depth and experience to the surgical team. A fantastic team of interns, nurses, and customer

Researchers are looking for dogs to participate in an osteoarthritis trial. (Supplied)

We are seeking dogs to participate in a free clinical trial which could improve osteoarthritis treatment in both dogs and humans. Participating dogs receive a free health check, haematology, biochemistry and radiographs, valued at $1100.

Eligible dogs must be: • Over 7 years of age • Have clinical signs of osteoarthritis • Between 15 and 35 kg • Male or female but must be desexed If eligible, your pet will enter a 6-month clinical study. During this time, your pet will need to come to the U-Vet Hospital in Werribee for a total of 8 visits.

Does your dog have osteoarthritis? If so your dog may be eligible to participate in a free clinical trial run by U-Vet Werribee Animal Hospital, in association with Paradigm Biopharma, which could improve osteoarthritis treatment in both dogs and humans. There is a high unmet medical need for therapies for osteoarthritis that improve pain and lameness and delay the disease’s progression. There are strong similarities between osteoarthritis in dogs and people. Consequently, any advance in treating osteoarthritis in dogs may be of interest to osteoarthritis treatment in humans. Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium (PPS) has been used for over 20 years to help dogs suffering from osteoarthritis. Short term (1 to 3 months) results show that PPS reduces pain and lameness and improves joint health in dogs.

Our study aims to assess if those positive effects are long-lasting in dogs using state-of-the-art equipment, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI, to evaluate the impact inside the osteoarthritic joint and Canine Gait analysing using a pressure-sensitive walkway. The study results will help establish objective research evidence that could be used to advance clinical development of PPS as a potential treatment for osteoarthritis in humans. An interim analysis is showing positive results, but we need more study participants to provide a larger number of animals. Dogs must be over 7 years of age with clinical signs of osteoarthritis, desexed and weigh between 15 and 35 kg. If you are interested in participating in this clinical trial, please contact Thierry Beths at Thierry.beths@unimelb.edu.au

A champion clubhouse opening Armstrong Green residents sang the Cats’ theme song loudly and proudly at the opening of their new clubhouse in the lead up to Geelong’s emphatic grand final win in September. Leading the chorus were Ian Cover and Greg Champion, best known as foundation members of the Coodabeen Champions comedic radio show. Cover and Champion were at Armstrong Green to officially open the clubhouse, which is the jewel in the crown of the retirement village, boasting a pool, gym, bar, snooker room, hairdresser, dining room and library. Also in attendance were RCA Villages directors and their families. Managing director Andrew Philip welcomed the opening of the clubhouse, which will further strengthen the sense of retirement community already being fostered at Armstrong Green. “RCA doesn’t just build villages, we build communities, much like country towns,” Mr Philip said. Armstrong Green is located at 722-742 Barwon Heads Road, Armstrong Creek. Main: Greg Champion and Ian Cover cut the ribbon on the clubhouse plaque.

Comedian becomes Drysdale’s mayor for a day

Damian Callinan will be mayor for a day in Drysdale.

(Theresa Harrison)

Aussie performer Damian Callinan will be Drysdale’s ‘mayor’ for a day when he brings his new show to the Potato Shed. Callinan has performed on stage, in film, radio and live stand-up and was in the 2013 film Backyard Ashes and wrote and starred in The Merger. The popularly unelected Callinan is slipping on the mayoral robes for 24 hours to run his comedic eyes over Drysdale. Armed only with a projector and a microphone, Callinan combines photos, observations, municipal advice, community interactions, colourful yarns and his uncanny eye for seeing things that the locals don’t. “It’s not particularly political in tone, it’s more a celebratory look at the community,” he said. “I’ve been doing enough of this stuff to know how to get the line right. Australians are great at laughing at themselves, but you can’t go in all guns blazing. “It’s easy to turn an audience if you go too far. It’s holding a mirror in different ways.”

Trans icon Miss Cairo tells her own story Miss Cairo’s show ‘Breasts Become Her’ will be front and centre as Geelong welcomes the Melbourne Fringe Festival for the second year in a row over October 20-22. Geelong Arts Centre will be hosting nine performances of six shows at Westend Geelong, with Miss Cairo’s solo cabaret show on the bill on October 21 and 22. The cabaret show, which discusses trans rights, womanhood, pay equality and sex work, is inspired by the 1992 film ‘Death Becomes Her’ starring Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn. “It’s a mix of original music and classic belters,” Miss Cairo said. “It’s also my debut solo cabaret show, which has been 31 years in the making. I’ve been treading the boards since the age of five and 22 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 14 October, 2022

I’ve been a professional cabaret performer for about 12 years now. “I’m really proud of the story that I’m telling, it’s my story. I’ve done a lot of advocacy and activism in my world, where I’ve had to always censor myself and think about what I’m saying, which has been really great. “But it’s nice to have freedom in my story, to say whatever it is I want to say, because it’s in relation to me.” While ‘Breasts Become Her’ tells the story of Miss Cairo’s “transition from UK drag superstar to international trans icon”, she said her show was for everyone. “It’s not just a trans woman speaking to the trans community, I’ve made sure that it’s universal and relevant to as many people as possible,” she said.

“Trans stories aren’t just niche, they aren’t specific to just us, they intersect with a lot of other issues around the world. So there’s definitely going to be something for everybody. “And also, you get to see my tits, so there’s definitely going to be entertainment there.” The Melbourne Fringe performances of ‘Breasts Become Her’ are the world premiere of the show, which will then tour the country and head to the Edinburgh Fringe next year. Matt Hewson

Callinan will pay a visit to St Thomas Primary School and will gain some inspiration for the show from the younger generation. “I get them to muse what they would do if they were mayor for the day and take that back to the audience,” he said. “They make campaign posters and usually delightfully weird and whacky stuff.” Callinan’s show is also going to Savernake, Tatura, Edi Upper, Balmoral and Dunkeld. “I think my favourite thing is at the end I make my pitch and say okay this is what I’m going to change and seeing how they react,” he said. “It’s always pretty stupid and they won’t get anything out of it. Sometimes it’s turning their ideas back on themselves.” Mayor for a Day is at the Potato Shed, Drysdale on Thursday, October 20 at 8pm.

FRIDAY FEATURE

From setbacks to werewolves From leaving home at 14 to becoming a popular fiction writer, Jazz Ford could well be the epitome of a rags to riches story. Justin Flynn speaks with the Belmont mum of three.

azz Ford left home at the age of 14, was a high-school dropout, bullied relentlessly and would later develop anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder panic attacks so severe that she had to give up her job. It was a rough start for the now mum of three from Belmont. Growing up in Bendigo, Jazz fled her family home and was raised by her grandparents until she was 16 before moving out and renting with her brother in Geelong. She says her grandparents are still “amazing” and that her grandmother is the kindest person she knows. But with independence comes responsibility. And the bills never pay themselves. Jazz was forced to almost beg for a place in a course that would see her gain a certificate III in aged care and community care. She was considered too young, but won the spot and had nine years in a job, which she adored. But the anxiety and PTSD didn’t stop. Things got so bad Jazz couldn’t even go to a supermarket without having a panic attack. Divorce was the next thing to occur in what was already a long list of setbacks. But one thing that comforted Jazz during her younger years (she is now 36) was writing. “I got into it when I was 14 and moved in with my grandparents and had my little cousins come over regularly and found I was naturally making up stories on the spot and they would want more,” Jazz says. “It was a very good coping mechanism because I grew up with a lot of trauma.” But a house fire in her early 20s saw all her

written memoirs literally burn away. “I didn’t want to write again, I just went through a very depressing stage,” she says. “I remember thinking I’ll never be able to write that again so why bother.” Jazz remarried and had another daughter and then COVID hit and with it, lockdowns. Lots of them. With her son and two daughters at home, she decided to write again. “I wasn’t working and I wanted to utilise my time and had all these stories in my head for years and thought that I’m just going to have to start writing them,” she says. “One paragraph turned into a chapter and that would turn into another chapter and then a whole book. “I couldn’t stop and I love it. It made me happier. I rarely have anxiety or panic attacks anymore.” What nobody could really predict, though, was just how popular Jazz’s writing would get. And how quickly.

In the 18 months since she started writing again, Jazz has released nine novels and become a best seller for one of her publishing companies, as well as in the top 10 and even number one on many reading apps. “Two of my stories have even reached the top 1000 on Kindle out of millions of other stories,” she says. “I am currently working on book five of a werewolf fantasy series, which is the last book of the series, and just released ‘The Lycan’s Daughter’, which is the sequel to ‘Alpha Maximus: The Last Lycan’. “I have a zombie apocalypse series based in Australia that I am working on, as well as other fantasy books and series.” ‘Alpha Maximus’ has been read almost one million times on one platform. “My books are not for the faint-hearted and contain trigger warnings,” Jazz says. “I look forward to writing my zombie series, which is from the point of view of a little girl who survives and grows up during the apocalypse in Australia, and the many other books I intend on writing over the next couple of years.” Jazz now has 11,500 followers on TikTok and now earns enough to support her entire family. “I’m earning enough money that my husband doesn’t have to work and he’s only 37,” she says. “We are looking at buying a house next year because I have such a large deposit already.” Although Jazz is now very happily married and her husband couldn’t be more

supportive, she is learning to teach her daughters that sometimes “you just have to be your own hero”. “My daughters are learning that you don’t have to have a husband or a man to be successful or happy,” she says. “You can do things yourself. Anyone can be independent. I think I resonate in my books because I had such a hard upbringing and had to be my own hero. “I write a lot of stories about women or men who have been abused or in a difficult place or shunned and they all end up with a happy ending. “I think people just enjoy reading fiction where people have a hard life and go through so much but come out the other side.” While things worked out eventually, Jazz has advice for people who are doing it tough. “Reach out and speak to someone whether it’s your doctor, friend or loved one,” she says. “When I was first diagnosed with anxiety I was ashamed and embarrassed. It was a taboo subject. I already had a hard enough time being bullied at school even by teachers or by family members. So I felt very ashamed and lost and remember crying a lot and feeling really ashamed. “The best thing I ever did was eventually reach out and was so surprised at how many friends had anxiety or depression or suicidal thoughts. “It’s becoming more common to talk about. Nobody should be ashamed or belittled for having a mental illness.” Friday, 14 October, 2022 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 23

Above: All lit up. Below: Siwei Wong (aka Freedom Fly) at Steampacket Soundz Stage.

Over 93,000 people made their way to the centre of Geelong to join in the celebration of White Night on Saturday as the festival lit up the night sky. From the heart of the city in Johnstone Park to the waterfront, Geelong was filled with light, sound and movement as locals and visitors alike experienced the exhibitions and performances of over 100 diverse artists. White Night creative director Jospeh O’Farrell (JOF) said it was fantastic to see so many people come together “as a community to eat, drink, dance and celebrate” as White Night returned to Geelong after a three-year hiatus. “I’m still buzzing from seeing all those smiling faces on the street and experiencing the feeling of culture, community and people coming together, it was really quite overwhelming,” JOF said. “It’s been a while since Geelong has had a White Night, and it really felt like the people in the street were just so happy to see the event back and to take in the art and the culture once again.”

JOF’s own offering, the world premiere of Heavy Metal, was an “almost spiritual” celebration of Geelong’s automotive and musical history. The performance, which took over Grace Church carpark, saw audiences head-banging to the riffs of two metal guitarists while gasping in awe as cars were flattened in front of their very eyes. JOF said he couldn’t have been happier with the way it went. “It was incredible to premiere that work as part of White Night,” he said. “The crowd was literally screaming and roaring with the flames and the musicians. It was a really big team that brought that work together, from Infrabuild, who were the steel recyclers to Additive who were the production managers, to the band who performed. “So it was a huge achievement and a really nice point of difference. I am really over the moon with how it was presented and how it looked as part of the night.” Matt Hewson

Ballroom dance a hit Geelong Ballroom Dance Club hosted its annual Weekend of Dance at its Hamlyn Heights ballroom. Attendances were excellent for all three days with waltzes, foxtrots, and rumbas. Club president Alan Anstis was delighted with the patronage of the Saturday black tie event with more than 120 people attending from as far away as Canberra, Corowa and Rutherglen. Paul and Christian were the highlight band of the weekend. The boys played a multitude of great dance songs that

delighted the dancers from the first quickstep to the last waltz. An extra bonus was the well attended workshop hosted by John and Andrea Barwick who taught a new tango and a new paso. Mr Anstis thanked everyone who attended and looks forward to the event being held again in 2023, thanks to the support from the City of Greater Geelong, Positive Ageing Program.

The Toyota HiLux ute goes rogue By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring

Safety

Cars, computers and lawnmowers - when they go, they are great, when they don’t, they’re about as useful as a hip pocket in a singlet. That brings me to the HiLux Rogue. Among the varied dictionary definitions of ‘rogue’ comes ‘an individual deviating from the normal, usually inferior’. My time with Toyota’s MY21 top-dog ute had a niggle or two. For a start the Aussie-designed and developed motorised roll-top tub cover pulled up short, literally, on my first attempt to store it, jamming inches away from being fully retracted. No amount of pressing opening and closing buttons freed the pesky piece of apparatus. A little less annoying was the key fob, which was erratic with its door locking and unlocking functions activating only when a few metres from the cabin. Equivalent automotive security systems usually can be operated from greater distance to the vehicle: often handy in a crowded car park. Over to you, Toyota. Anyway, enough of this negativity, the Rogue deserves its HiLux ‘halo’ in some respects. Generally, it’s a credit to local engineers and designers, who were tasked with producing a combination of toughness, complemented by a more recreational focus for a vehicle designed to go anywhere and be sold in markets around the world. Toyota Australia’s role in developing and evaluating the 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, rear suspension and hydraulic power steering was supported by teams from Japan and Thailand, as well as representatives from other markets. The Rogue sells for $68,990, plus on-road costs and options. The HiLux, in general, continues its reign as the best-selling vehicle in

The HiLux Rogue carries a five-star safety rating on 2019 testing and is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense, including a pre-collision system with autonomous emergency braking and the ability to detect pedestrians around the clock and cyclists in daylight. Electronic systems include anti-skid brakes, vehicle stability and traction control, brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution, trailer sway control, downhill assist and an emergency stop signal (hazard lights).

Driving

Australia and like all Toyota vehicles is covered by Toyota Service Advantage, with each of the first scheduled services costing just $250 each.

Styling Out of Toyota’s Melbourne design studio comes a dark vertical grille that cascades from the bonnet down to the prominent lower bumper and under-guard. LED headlamps, with dark internals, combine with bold outer corners of the bumper, which links to strong fog lamp surrounds. An aggressive side profile continues the theme with robust fender flares, unique wheel-arch mouldings and an integrated resin sports bar making its debut. Wheel-arches also are generous enough to take bigger, fatter alloys than the factory-fitted 18-inchers. A new sports bar, made from resin, is easier to mould than steel, allowing it to have a more

artistic ‘sailplane’ shape. Out back are redesigned bumper and tailgate. The tub itself is kitted out, up the walls too, like a fully carpeted lounge room, with marine-grade , the liner lifting appearance and coverage. The design makeover is made complete by a chrome Toyota tailgate badge and new decals on the tailgate and sports bar.

Driving has been made easier than before by work done on the rear suspension, improving unladen ride comfort while a new variable flow-control power-steering pump offers more help in low-speed manoeuvres such as parking. Braked towing capacity has been uprated by 300 kg to 3500 kg, courtesy of the higher-output engine and a recalibrated six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. Toyota claims a combined urban / highway fuel consumption of 8.4 litres per 100 kilometres. The test vehicle worked out at 11.7 litres per 100 kilometres in suburban streets down to 6.4 litres per 100 kilometres when on the motorway.

Engines / transmissions The upgraded 1GD turbo-diesel engine now develops 150 kW at 3400 rpm and 500 Nm between 1600 and 2800 rpm, gains of 15 per cent and 11.1 per cent respectively. The six-speed automatic transmission was recalibrated to allow earlier lock-up for improved acceleration and to ensure Toyota’s temperature tolerances, especially when towing, were observed.

Summary The Rogue is up against some of the stiffest competition in the premium luxury ute market (the runaway Ford Ranger Wildtrack springs to mind). It’s fair to say the power roll top would be considered an important selling point for the Hilux ‘hero’ and the failure of the accessory on test is not what we have come to expect from Toyota.

Opening pair break club record By Justin Flynn Barwon Heads opening pair Matthew Bode and Jason Mallett broke a club record for the highest ever first XI opening partnership on Saturday. Their 263-run stand eclipsed the previous best of 182, set in 2002 by Andy Booth and Ash McHarry. Bode smacked 138 from 121 deliveries and Mallett made 115 from 125 against a hapless Newcomb side. Both fell in the latter stages of their

Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association A2 Grade match, unselfishly chasing runs despite knowing their team had made more than enough for victory. Barwon Heads made 2-268 and then dismissed Newcomb for 76 with young seamer Taj Don snaring four wickets. Slow bowlers Sam Schaller (2-9 from eight) and Matt High (3-19 from eight) proved difficult to get away In other matches, Portarlington and Winchelsea played out a thrilling tie with both sides ending their 40 overs on 188 runs. Cameron Gourley was the star for Port with

a superb 115 from 127 balls while Drysdale eased past Collendina. In A1 Grade, Ocean Grove won a low-scoring encounter against Inverleigh. Ocean Grove managed only 8-96 from 40 overs, but Inverleigh could muster just 88 all out in reply with spinner Rob Rutley taking 4-16 for the Grubbers. Queenscliff reminded of its batting power with a solid win against a gallant Armstrong Creek. Frank Mileto set the tone with a polished 68 in the Coutas’ score of 8-183.

In reply the Titans made a good account of the run chase, but eventually fell 33 runs short with young gun Mitch Potter grabbing three wickets with his leggies. Jan Juc proved too good for St Leonards with Nick Hyden’s 46 the top score in a final total of 4-184. Skipper Steve Grey made a defiant 43 for the Saints in reply, but they were all out for 128 as left-armers Jordy Graham and Lachie Ayton grabbed three wickets each. No play was possible in the Barrabool versus Anglesea match.

Cats load up on talent

Geelong Sharks Rugby League Club held a successful come and try and meet the coaches day at Newcomb.

Sharks hope to attack new season The newly formed Geelong Sharks Rugby League Club held a come and try and meet the coaches day at Ervin Reserve Newcomb on Saturday. The turn out exceeded all expectations and reinforced the genuine interest for rugby league in the Greater Geelong region. The day involved a junior skills workshop with representatives from NRL Victoria and the seniors having a scratch game of touch. Everyone was treated with a free sausage sizzle and drinks. Many prospective members signing up to play or volunteer. Anyone who is interested in playing or helping out can go to Geelong Sharks Rugby League Club’s Facebook or Instagram pages. Who knows - the next Billy Slater, Cameron Smith or Cameron Munster could come from Greater Geelong.

From too old and too many blown chances, Geelong is now too good and too stacked with talent. While labeling trade winners and losers is always a fraught exercise, the newly-crowned AFL premiers clearly are at the right end of the ledger. The Cats capped a bountiful trade period on Wednesday night by sealing a late three-way deal that brought in Ollie Henry from Collingwood to join his brother Jack. The day before, Cats list manager Andrew Mackie had a tough conversation with the Henry parents to prepare them when it looked like the negotations with the Magpies might not bear fruit. They earlier recruited Tanner Bruhn from GWS and were the beneficiaries of Gold Coast’s salary dump as they picked up Jack Bowes and the No.7 draft pick. Geelong also dictated terms on big man Esava Ratugolea, keeping him despite his wish for a move to Port Adelaide. Significantly, Bruhn and Henry are 20 and Bowes is 24. Coupled with the retirement of captain Joel Selwood, plus the departures of fellow veterans Luke Dahlhaus and Shaun Higgins, there’s less of an aged look about the Cats now. “You guys (media) tell us enough, we are ageing – every now and again we do listen,” Mackie said, tongue firmly in cheek. “Like every club, we’re trying to get better and we’re really happy with the guys we were able to bring in. “(Recruiting guru) Stephen Wells is licking his lips with pick seven … it’s exciting for the footy club.” But Mackie said there had been fraught moments with the Henry trade, which finally happened in the same deal that sent Cooper Stephens from the Cats to Hawthorn and meant Brownlow Medallist Tom Mitchell joined the Magpies from Hawthorn. “It’s a great result for all three footy clubs involved in that deal,” he said. “I had a tough conversation with Ollie’s parents yesterday … this might not happen. “I’m just happy for Collingwood that we’re able to facilitate a trade tonight – it’s not something we want to do, that players go through the pre-season draft or whatever it might be.” Roger Vaughan, AAP

The newly formed club had many prospective players and volunteers sign up on the day. 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 14 October, 2022

SPORT Four unbeaten teams in pennant Four teams remained unbeaten after round two of Geelong Bowls Region Pennant Division. Ocean Grove (1), Highton, Queenscliff and Eastern Park have two wins from as many starts. Ocean Grove (1) leads the competition after an 80 to 56 win against fellow Bellarine Peninsula side Drysdale. Peter Loe skipped his rink of Zak Abro, Callum Hannah and Wayne Frith to a monster 36-8 win. Ashley Rees grabbed a win for Drysdale, but Brad Pavey snared a 10-shot win for the Grovers to put the result beyond doubt. Queenscliff eased past Bareena by 36 shots and claimed all 16 points on offer. Steve Sullivan, Benjamin Russell and Ray Butler all had to work hard, but won their rinks while Bareena needs to regroup after a good round one win. Ocean Grove (2) brought up its first win for the season with an 11-shot triumph over City of Geelong. Rick Webb enjoyed the biggest win of the day with a nine-shot victory, 29 to 18. City of Geelong remains at the bottom of the ladder, but if last week’s performance is anything to go by, a win is just around the corner. Bradley Prior, Shaun Myers, Kerry Gooley and Sandra Tillson at least made sure City

didn’t go home empty handed, giving their side two points with a two-shot win. Eastern Park won a thriller against Lara. Only three shots separated the two sides at the end of play in a pulsating match. It was Vince Chapman’s rink that helped Eastern Park over the line with a seven-shot win. Lara showed enough, however, to suggest that it will win more than it loses this season.

Highton picked up 14 points on its way to a 74 to 43 win against Bell Post Hill. Craig McCarron picked up a win for Bell Post Hill, but Dan and David Priddle won their rinks convincingly to set up the win. This week’s match of the round looks to be between Lara and Ocean Grove (1). Even though Lara is yet to taste victory, it will prove a tough opponent for the Grovers at home.

Summer season begins LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers It was the opening round of the new summer seasons for both Juniors and Senior divisions on Saturday Tennis Geelong competitions. In Section 1 Open, last year’s Junior Section 1 Boys finalists were too good for Newcomb when Geelong Lawn White won the first match of the round four rubbers to love, eight sets to love. The young guns from White took both doubles relatively comfortably when Jack Remilton teamed with Rhys McNabb and then Jake Bucek to win 6-1, 6-3 and 6-1, 6-2 while Bucek cruised to a 6-2, 6-0 win in the first singles. McNabb had to fight hard in his win over the experienced David Kos, but managed to tough it out 6-4, 6-3. Another team of Geelong Lawn Juniors hosted Surfcoast Jan Juc, and came away with a four rubber to love, seven sets to one win. Illija Sasic took a comfortable win over Andrew Osborn in the first singles while Anthony Williams and Minami Tan came from behind to best Sam Rogers and Jon Stephenson 2-6, 6-3, 10-7 in the first doubles. Tan and Stephenson then battled out the second singles, and after a tough first set, Tan polished off the win 7-5, 6-2. Sasic and Williams rounded out the win for Lawn with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Osborn and Rogers. Geelong Lawn Green hosted Hightonand proved too strong three rubbers to one, and five sets to three. Saxon Richardson battled for the day against Highton’s Jamie Heaton with Heaton winning a close one in the first singles 7-5, 6-3, while Richardson counted in the second doubles, pairing with Teal Studer to just get over Heaton and Jason Raselli 6-3, 5-7, 12-10. The remaining rubbers were comfortable wins to Green, with Jackson Varney taking the second singles 6-1, 6-0, and the first doubles with Teal Studer 6-0, 6-2. The final match of the day was the closest with Grovedale hosting Barwon Heads and the visitors got up three rubbers to one and five sets to three in a match that lasted over three and a half hours. Ryan Lee and Brett Armstrong opened the day in the first singles with Lee winning through in a marathon 6-3, 7-6 for the home

Snapper reports are becoming more consistent and with the water temp increasing we should only see it get better and better. The inner harbour is still producing reports but the outer harbour is definitely the zone to be at the moment with more consistent and bigger fish. Anglers fishing with baits along the edge of the channel have been pulling fish to over 5kg and in respectable numbers, the fish are still a bit touchy and fussy but as the water temp increases they should chew much harder. Gummy sharks have also been hanging around in decent numbers inside the bay, more particularly around Clifton Springs. Most anglers have been picking them up chasing snapper however if you did want to target them fresh salmon is ideal. Clifton Springs remains a hotspot for anglers in search of calamari and don’t want to travel or deal with the crowds at Queenscliff. Clifton Springs even appears to be fishing better on some days with boats bagging out and some of the squid coming in at a fantastic size for that part of the bay. Size 3.0 Shimano Flash Boost Rattle jigs have been a standout in this area. Alcoa Pier has been holding large numbers of Australian salmon tight along the structure. Casting small minnow profile soft plastics have been lethal with natural colours working well. There has also been pinky snapper holding along the pier too with anglers picking them up on the soft plastics also. Queenscliff Bight has really heated up this past week with the calamari reports coming in thick and fast. No massive ones by the sounds of it but they shouldn’t be too far off now. Casting size 3.5 jigs along the weed beds and also drifting in the deep water have both been doing damage. Offshore Barwon Heads is continuing to fish well for snapper and gummy sharks with plenty of reports from recreational and charter boats hauling in some quality fish. The 50 metre line seems to be where most of the action is at the moment. Fresh baits like salmon and squid have been working very well.

10-4, while in the doubles, Armstrong and Boyle took the first nine games of the rubber, before Lee and Krumholz started their fightback. The lead though was insurmountable with the Heads taking the final rubber 6-0, 6-4.
