Stories that inspire hope When Clare Reilly was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2016, she had trouble finding inspiring stories about people who had learned to thrive with their illness. So she decided to start a podcast and tell them herself. Over the last 18 months, Clare has used MS Understood to share the stories of people who lived with multiple sclerosis and done amazing things in life in spite of it, as well as medical professionals supporting people with MS. “I was in a headspace at the time where I wanted to hear stories of people with MS who were active and running marathons, who were working as lawyers or teachers – those real life stories of people living with MS. “But I found it really hard to find those stories … so I decided I’d reach out to a few people and tell the stories I wanted to hear.” Having recorded more than 70 episodes over Zoom from her study, Clare is hoping to see the podcast continue to grow. “There’s still a lot more stories to tell,” she said.

Geelong’s bowser pain By Ash Bolt Geelong motorists are spending more on petrol each week than residents of most of the country’s major population centres, a new report reveals. Australia’s peak motoring body the Australian Automobile Association’s (AAA) latest Transport Affordability Index reveals the average weekly fuel cost grew by 38 per cent between March, 2021, and March, 2022. The data showed Geelong motorists paid an average of $110.69 in fuel costs per week over the first three months of 2022. That figure was a significant increase over the $80.03 average

weekly fuel costs in the same period in 2021. It was also the second highest average weekly cost across any of the larger population centres across the country tracked by the AAA report. Only Bunbury, in south-west Western Australia, was higher – at $116.31 per week – while Melbourne was almost $20 per week cheaper at $92.07. AAA managing director Michael Bradley said the data reflected the global price shocks flowing from the war in Ukraine. “Rising fuel prices continue to be a significant contributor to cost of living pressures across both regional and metropolitan Australia,” he said. In late March the federal government

announced it would halve the fuel excise – from 44.2 cents per litre to 22.1 – to combat rising fuel costs, which had seen fuel prices rise over $2 per litre. While the announcement led to an initial drop in petrol prices, the Australian Institute of Petroleum’s latest weekly petrol prices report showed fuel costs were again beginning to rise. Last week prices rose for the third week in a row, at an average of 1.4 cents per litre across the country, to reach an average cost 179.6 cents per litre. That rise was sharper in Geelong, where unleaded petrol rose by 4.7 cents to per litre to reach an average of 175.1 cents per litre. The AAA data also showed Geelong was the third

most expensive regional centre for transport. Taking into account the average car loan repayments, fuel costs, registration, servicing and tyres, insurance, tolls, public transport and roadside assistance, the index found transport cost Geelong residents an average of $347.70 per week between January and March. The figure was lower than all capital cities, as well as Bunbury and Alice Springs. It was also a $9.58 decrease on the previous quarter, largely due to a decrease in the average car loan repayment. The data showed fuel costs made up almost 32 per cent of Geelong households’ weekly transport costs, while car repayments were 43 per cent.

Push on for growth co-operation Geelong’s community leaders have put together a united front to call for an urgent partnership between state and federal governments to manage Geelong’s rapid population growth. Geelong’s leading advocacy groups have written to the prime minister, premier, opposition leaders and other MPs to make the case for substantial co-investment in number of key projects to revitalise Geelong and unlock its economic, social and tourism potential. The push, called the Geelong Collective, involves the City of Greater Geelong, Committee for Geelong, the G21Geelong Region Alliance, Geelong Chamber of Commerce, Geelong Manufacturing Council and Tourism Greater Geelong and The Bellarine. Among its key priorities is improved transport connections with the group calling for $250 million for the second stage of the

Barwon Heads Road duplication, as well as improvements to public transport. Identified public transport projects include a dedicated train station at Avalon as part of the Geelong Fast Rail and funding to find a public transport solution between Geelong and Torquay. The group is also calling for $15 million to for upgrades at GeelongPort to accommodate the Spirit of Tasmania’s move, as well as growing Aboriginal cultural tourism in the region and greater support for business recovery. Other key areas on the group’s wishlist include funding to accelerate projects that focus on clean energy, clean tech and circular economy; measures to address Greater Geelong’s housing crisis; and development of Geelong as a world-class destination for sport and major events.

With Geelong set to play a major role in hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games the group said it was vital a Regional Sports and Events Centre, catering for up to 5000 spectators, was supported. The centre would also address growing demand for indoor-based sports in the region and further the diversification of Geelong’s economy. “Geelong is the capital of a rapidly expanding region which contributes $20 billion to the Victorian economy each year,” G21 Geelong Region Alliance chief executive Giulia Baggio said. “To manage this growth, we urgently need affordable housing, a modern transport network, and investment in emerging industries that will provide high quality jobs for thousands of people who are choosing to make Geelong their home.”

A sea of pink on mum’s special day Almost 1500 Geelong residents came together on Sunday to celebrate and remember those affected by breast cancer at the Mother’s Day Classic. For the first time since 2019, the event was able to be held in person and organiser Kristen McMaster said it was a “fantastic” day. “Everyone got into the spirit and there was a lot of pink – it was wonderful to see,” she said. “I was roaming around and talking to a lot of people about what the Mother’s Day Classic meant to them – everyone had their own story for being there. “It was really good to see everyone come together and celebrate in-person – we had 1450 people registered to take part. “That’s reflective of the numbers we had pre-COVID, which is a really good effort because the Melbourne one was down by about a third. “It’s a really good community event and there’s no reason we can’t get the numbers up over 5000 in the coming years.” The day saw participants take part in either a run or walk around Eastern Park, overlooking Eastern Beach, as well as a range of kids activities, with the goal to raise much-needed funds and awareness for breast cancer research. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, with 55 Australians diagnosed every day. Since the Mother’s Day Classic started in 1998, the five-year survival rate for breast cancer has increased from 84 per cent to 91.5 per cent, but an average of nine Australians lose their battle with breast cancer each day. In the 25-year history of the Mother’s Day Classic, almost $40 million has been donated to fund research, with donations for this year’s tally still open until June 30. Mother’s Day Classic Foundation chief executive Zara Lawless said she was thrilled to

welcome back traditional Mother’s Day Classic experiences across the nation in time for the 25th anniversary celebration. “This year we celebrated 25 years of impact with over 50,000 Australians across the country, and what made it an extra special Mother’s Day Classic was having our events back to their original, fun and exciting format,” she said. “We are so proud of the incredible response from the participants this year, with

communities in every corner of the nation uniting in a sea of pink and getting active for breast cancer research. “Mother’s Day can be a challenging day for many people - particularly those impacted by breast cancer – but by taking part in the Mother’s Day Classic we stand stronger together in the fight against breast cancer.”

Committee for Geelong chief executive Jennifer Cromarty said there needed to be a focus on infrastructure upgrades as Geelong’s population continued to grow. “Geelong is growing faster than any other regional city in Australia,” she said. “Over the coming decades, the need for significant investment in infrastructure to manage our growth is profound. “Key to this is ongoing and long-term commitments from government to our roads, rail and public transport networks.” Tourism Greater Geelong and The Bellarine executive director Brett Ince said “State and federal government support of these priorities will help unlock Geelong’s economic and tourism potential while ensuring our city is an appealing, well-connected destination for locals and visitors well into the future,” he said.

Small business festival call out The City of Greater Geelong is calling for applications for engaging and inspiring events and workshops to be held as part of this year’s Geelong Small Business Festival. Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said the City was putting the call out for event applications for the month-long festival, which will be held from August 1 to 31. “The festival brings together some of our region’s best business experts, small business owners and managers, and leading industry organisations to share their knowledge and experiences,” he said. “It’s a unique opportunity to learn from industry specialists and build professional networks at a critical time for local businesses. “We encourage local business owners and employees, professional trainers, facilitators, speakers, and subject matter experts to showcase their skills and build their profile by taking part in the festival.” Economic development portfolio chair Peter Murrihy said the festival provided free and low-cost events to upskill prospective and current business owners, while creating networking opportunities. Cr Murrihy said the city was looking for professional insight across accounting, cash flow and finance; human resources and legal; e-commerce and digital technologies; marketing and communications; health and wellbeing; and sustainability and social responsibility. Event applications are open until Friday, May 20.

Funding for headspace centres By Ash Bolt Young people living in Bannockburn and Geelong’s northern suburbs will have easier access to mental health services, if the Liberal government is re-elected this month. The Liberal Party has committed $6.2 million over four years to establish a new headspace satellite service in Bannockburn and to upgrade Corio’s satellite service to a headspace centre. The headspace program provides free or low-cost mental health, social and vocational support services for young people aged 12 to 25. Health and Aged Care Minister Greg

Hunt said young people had been affected significantly by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and access to mental health services and support was more important than ever. “One in four young Australians are affected by a mental illness every year, and we know many young people have been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,” he said. “Young people in Geelong’s north and surrounding regions will have ongoing access to headspace, which provides a welcoming place for professional help and peer support for young people at risk.” The new headspace services in Corio and Bannockburn are in addition to the headspace

sites in Geelong and Ocean Grove, and the Head to Health adult mental health centre which open late last year. Liberal candidate for Corio Manish Patel said the Corio centre would boost access to vital health care in an area that was experiencing a significant demand for services. “Importantly, headspace services are designed by and for young people to provide services in a way that works for them, ensuring that young people face fewer barriers to accessing holistic support for mental health, physical health, alcohol and other drug use, and social and vocational challenges,” he said. Liberal candidate for Corangamite Stephanie

Asher said the Bannockburn service also recognised a growing need for support. The new headspace services in Corio and Bannockburn will be commissioned by the Western Victoria Primary Health Network, with the new funding commencing 2022-23. The PHN will consult with the community to determine the exact locations and ensure that the services provide support in a way that meets their needs. The commitment comes after Corangamite MP Libby Coker announced Labor would commit $4.8 million to establish a headspace centre in Armstrong Creek, servicing the Surf Coast and Armstrong Creek growth areas.

Accommodation funds Mount Duneed Estate is set to benefit from luxury accommodation funded through a state government grant. Tourism, Sport and Major Events Minister Martin Pakula this week announced $260,000 from the government’s Regional Tourism Investment Fund would go towards building eight luxury pods at the winery, creating new jobs and drawing more visitors to the region. “Mount Duneed Estate already attracts diners, wine lovers, and music fans, and this project means they’ll be able to stay longer and enjoy all the region has to offer,” he said. “We’re supporting projects that bring more visitors to Victoria – supporting local businesses and creating local jobs.” The boutique one-bedroom spaces will be nestled amongst the estate’s famous vineyard, featuring a modern bathroom and balcony, boasting scenic views.

South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman said the luxury accommodation would boost tourism to the Greater Geelong region with the winery known for hosting a range of events including weddings, concerts by international artists and the popular music festival A Day on the Green. “Mount Duneed Estate is an iconic location and the new luxury pods will entice more visitors to enjoy the splendour of the Barrabool Hills,” he said. Work on the accommodation is due to begin this year and finish by mid-2023, supporting five jobs during construction and a further two once complete, Mr Pakula said. He said the government’s Regional Tourism Investment Fund was helping entice more visitors to Victoria’s regions, driving private investment and accelerating the recovery of the tourism sector.

Award honour for Caleb By Ash Bolt A North Geelong man who created Australia’s first peer-led online community for young survivors of stroke, has won the Stroke Foundation’s 2022 Improving Life after Stroke Award. Caleb Rixon founded the Genyus Network in 2015 after surviving his own stroke six years earlier at 24 years old. The network has now grown to support more than 1500 people, including survivors, supporters, health professionals and researchers. Mr Rixon said it was an “immense honour” to win the award, which recognised the strong work of his team. “I had a major stroke when I was 24 years old and I had to relearn how to walk, how swallow and how to breathe,” he said. “I found during that process that I felt like I had lost part of my identity, particularly my social identity. I felt isolated and disempowered. “Things started looking up when I connected with other young survivors and realised we all had similar stories. “This is where the idea for the network was born. I wanted to create a safe space that’s peer-led and empowers survivors to share their own stories. “A lot of the rhetoric around stroke is reductive … [but] we want to be part of the narrative, not be the narrative.” The network started as a Facebook chat thread following interviews Mr Rixon had done with other stroke survivors. “I never expected it would grow in the way it has,” he said. “We’ve built a robust community of survivors, but also supporters and researchers on an international level. “Trauma is everywhere and people are

affected every day, … so having that place to go where you know you’re not alone is important. “That’s what the network is about – dispelling the myth that you’re alone.” Stroke Foundation chief executive Sharon McGowan said Mr Rixon’s work had not only improved the lives of survivors, but had created innovative ways to connect young survivors of stroke. “Caleb’s work has helped people adjust to life after stroke. He is a fierce advocate, constantly challenging the message that those with newly acquired disabilities are somehow less than they were before,” she said. “Stroke can happen to anyone at any age. It strikes the brain and can change a life in

an instant. It is estimated more than 142,000 survivors of stroke are of working age. “Our community is enriched because of young people like Caleb, who are committed to sharing their knowledge to empower and enable others.” The Stroke Awards celebrate the unsung heroes in the community who go above and beyond to improve the lives of Australians affected by stroke. The Improving Life after Stroke category recognises those who voluntarily dedicate their time to improving the care and support of stroke survivors in the community. Mr Rixon received his award at an award ceremony on Wednesday, May 4.

Funding for a safe space Torquay-based MP Andy Meddick has welcomed funding for an LGBTQIA+ hub in western Victoria in the state budget. The budget includes a $3.2 million allocation over three years to trial a safe space hub in Geelong, Surf Coast and Ballarat. Mr Meddick had previously led a taskforce, alongside LGBTQIA+ advocacy groups SPEAK and Drummond Street following an increase of youth suicides in the region, that called for the hub. He said LGBTQIA+ youth were five times more likely to attempt suicide between the ages of 16-27, which was why the project included referral and access to greater services, emotional support, and funding. “This work has been in response to a number of young people in the community tragically taking their own lives after not being able to access support in a way that was easy and accessible to them. I have no doubt that this funding will save lives,” Mr Meddick said. “Trans, non-binary and gay youth struggle in rural communities - this is my experience as both a parent and a politician. This funding will fill a huge gap in youth services in my electorate and I’m so proud to have delivered it.” The project will be delivered by Queer Space and Drummond Street in Geelong and the Surf Coast, and SPEAK in Ballarat. Health Minister Martin Foley said the funding was part of $14.7 million dedicated to support LGBTIQ+ Victorians in the budget.

Furry welcome funding An Ocean Grove organisation that provides support for animal welfare support for people experiencing family violence has received major funding boost in the state budget. Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas joined local MPs at Cherished Pets last week to announce $465,000 in funding for the service. The funding will support the delivery of its Geelong Pets in Crisis Project, which provides respite for the pets of people experiencing housing insecurity or fleeing violence. The project is designed to provide people fleeing violence or experiencing homelessness with peace of mind their pet is safe so they can focus on their own safety and wellbeing. The funding will go toward pet boarding facilities that can be accessed at short notice as well as expand the team’s veterinary social work services to respond to complex crisis

cases. Ms Thomas said the funding acknowledged the importance of keeping families and their pets together. “We’re ensuring locals escaping family violence or experiencing homelessness can access immediate respite for the pets through trusted organisations,” she said. Cherished Pets founder and director Dr Alicia Kennedy said the funding would provide welcome support for the organisation, which also helps pet owners living with disability or mental illness. “We are grateful for this funding which will enable us to meet a rising demand for crisis pet care in our region for people experiencing physical and mental health or personal security challenges, while supporting the health and wellbeing of the companion animal,” she said.

Victorian senator Sarah Henderson has asked Victoria Police to urgently investigate a spate of vandalism incidents targeting the Liberal’s campaign signs in Corangamite. Ms Henderson said about 45 of Liberal candidate Stephanie Asher’s campaign signs had been damaged throughout the campaign. She said signs had been stolen, defaced with graffiti including “Nazi swastika-like symbols”, had Ms Asher’s face cut out or covered with stickers promoting other political parties. Ms Henderson said she had previously been the victim of similar harassment and abuse since running for Corangamite at the 2016 federal election.

Grants for crisis support By Ash Bolt The Greater Geelong region is set to benefit from more than half a million worth of community grants from the Give Where You Live Foundation. The foundation announced this week 22 organisations across the region would share in $510,000 of grants through the 2022 Survive and Thrive Annual Grants Program to support people experiencing life-inhibiting crises. Give Where You Live Foundation chief executive Bill Mithen said the Survive and Thrive grants looked at promoting food security and supporting people who were experiencing homelessness. “We know there are many people in our local community who are experiencing crisis and need support to help meet their basic needs,” he said. “In total we estimate that these grants will provide support to approximately 45,000 people across the G21 region, and that 120,000 meals will be distributed to people experiencing food insecurity.” Mr Mithen said the grants also aimed to on build resilience and community connection, as well as supporting early intervention efforts related to family violence, sexual assault, addiction, mental health, and family breakdown. “The impact of these grants cannot be understated, and we are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our donors and corporate partners in helping the foundation in our mission of creating a fairer G21 region,” he said. Encompass Community Services will receive $6000 through the program to support the Encompass Homestart Material Aid program. The program will provide families and individuals experiencing immediate crisis with basic household goods including kitchen appliances, as well as bedding and linen packs.

From here, a significant amount of work is required to prepare for the merger.” Both BCYF and Bethany will continue to operate as normal in the short term, with the merger expected to be finalised by the middle of 2023. “We would like to remind the community that we are committed to being here to support you,” Mr Bowly and Mr McDonald said.

Victorians Encouraged To Save On Solar There’s no better time to join the solar revolution through the Victorian Government’s $1.6 billion Solar Homes Program. Now is a great time for eligible homeowners, businesses and landlords to embrace solar and take advantage of the Victorian Government’s $1,400 rooftop solar panel rebate, $3500 solar battery rebate or solar hot water rebate of up to $1,000. The rebates are available to help eligible Victorians reduce the upfront installation cost of rooftop solar, a solar battery or a solar hot water system. All eligible Victorians can apply for the rebates, with Solar Victoria’s approved product list and authorised solar retailers and installers making it easy to take part in the program.

The initiative is helping Victorians save money on their energy bills by reducing the installation costs while providing a continued savings throughout the life of the solar panels. From 1 July 2022, the Andrews Labor Government will also invest $250 million in a new Power Saving Bonus – driving down the cost of living right across the state. Now is the time to embrace solar. The Victorian Government encourages everyone to investigate the potential savings solar can deliver to them. For more information, contact my office or visit www.solar.vic.gov.au.

I’ve met a number of people in Geelong that have already taken advantage of the rebates, saving on average up to $1073 per year.

Leopold rezone A proposal to rezone farming land in Leopold for a new residential development has been adopted by City of Greater Geelong. Councillors voted to adopt the proposal at the latest council meeting following a recommendation from an independent panel of planning experts. The amendment will result in five farming properties on Ash Road in Leopold being rezoned to general residential. Two of the larger properties will be subdivided into approximately 206 residential lots. In September 2021, the council requested all 29 public submissions on the planning amendment and permit be considered by an independent panel appointed by Planning Minister Richard Wynne. The submissions related to storm water, impacts on Lake Connewarre, impacts on the surrounding area, and the extent of the residential development. Submitters were given the opportunity to be heard by an independent panel of experts during a three-day hearing in November 2021. The independent panel found the

development was consistent with the 2013 Leopold Structure Plan, which supported urban growth across the south east area of Leopold between Ash Road and Mollers Lane. The panel recommended the council adopt a planning permit and the amendment with one change to the Design and Development Overlay. “A robust and transparent planning process is important for significant planning decisions on the Bellarine,” deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said. “This was an open and accountable process to ensure everyone’s views could be heard. “We appreciate everyone’s feedback and the time taken by the independent panel to consider all the issues raised.” Bellarine Ward councillor Jim Mason said the development would provide community benefit, with the city and developers reaching an agreement to provide social and affordable housing on site. “Developers are required to make a contribution to community infrastructure projects within Leopold,” he said.

Youth space promise Young people and families across Inverleigh and surrounding areas are set to enjoy an improved active community space under a new election commitment announced by Liberal candidate for Corangamite Stephanie Asher. In 2021, a pop-up Youth Space initiative was launched in Inverleigh, which has provided a free and safe place for young people to gather, socially and get active together, supervised by the Golden Plains Shire’s youth development team. Ms Asher visited Inverleigh last week to announce if the Liberal government was re-elected, it would invest $700,000 to expand the Inverleigh Active Youth Space to include bike paths and pump track, an upgraded skate park and a social basketball court. Ms Asher said the commitment would mean happier, healthier and more engaged young people several local communities. “This investment is a key part of my local plan for Corangamite and means a better space for local young people and families to get

together with friends and get active,” she said. “Improving opportunities for physical and social connections will support the health and wellbeing of young people and families across our area.” The Golden Plains Shire Council welcomed the election funding commitment, which covered half of the $1.4 million project.

Running in his dad’s memory

CREATING A CLEVER AND CREATIVE FUTURE FOR GREATER GEELONG

CITYNEWS EMBRACE THE SPACE

By Ash Bolt The memory of his father will be firmly top of mind for Joshua Newland when he runs his first marathon on Sunday. Joshua will be one of thousands heading to Lorne this weekend to take part in the Great Ocean Road Running Festival. He’ll be running in memory of his father Neville, who passed away from non-Hodgkin lymphoma at just 46 years old. “It’s been personal goal of mine to run a marathon in dad’s memory,” Josh said. “He passed away at just 46 – I was 19 at the time – and it was really tough. “We used to surf a lot together, but he was also a runner and did a couple marathons in his time. “I’m not a runner at all but I wanted to push myself to do something completely new. “I’m 36 now and so dad’s been gone for 17 years, sometimes over time memories start fading, so I wanted to do this for him to show I’m still thinking of him.” Joshua said he was also hoping to use the marathon as an opportunity to raise some much-needed funds for the Cancer Council. “I thought it was a good chance to do a fundraiser to try and get rid of cancer,” he said. “Dad had non-Hodgkin lymphoma and he fought hard through his battle. “He got it when I was 16 but it went into remission and we thought it was all good. “But then it came back and unfortunately it got him eight months later. “It was a really tough time for everyone in my family. I think my younger sister and I were both still pretty young and found it hard to understand what was going on. “If we can raise money for more research to prevent cancer in the future and stop anyone else from having to go through that, I think that would be amazing.” Joshua had set himself a goal of $1500 for his ‘Run 4 Nev’, but had already raised almost $2500. “It’s been amazing so far, I’ve had a lot of great support from my friends and family,” he said. Joshua said he was looking forward to hitting the Great Ocean Road this weekend.

“I’m feeling really good and ready to go,” he said. “I starting training about two and a half months ago … [and] I’ve done a few half marathons in that time. “It was tough at the start – I did my first one coming off a night shift as a paramedic, but they’re starting to get easier so I’m looking forward to it.” The Great Ocean Road Running Festival will be held on Saturday, May 14 and Sunday, May 15, with runners following the Great Ocean Road between Lorne and Apollo Bay. Saturday’s schedule will include the 14 kilometre Paradise run, the 6km run and the 1.5km Kids’ Gallop, before the 60km ultra marathon, 44km marathon, 13km and 6.5km trail runs and the 10km and 5km walks on Sunday. Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism general manager Liz Price said the local community was looking forward to the tourism boost the popular running event will provide. “Each year the Kieser Great Ocean Road Running Festival provides a significant boost to the local economy and is a key driver of Great Ocean Road visitation during the autumn season. We look forward to welcoming people from near and far to enjoy the best of what the south-west coast has to offer,” she said.

Funding to boost manufacturing By Ash Bolt A Waurn Ponds manufacturer is set to receive up to $12 million of federal government funding. Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction Minister Angus Taylor and Victorian senator Sarah Henderson visited Carbon Revolution’s Waurn Ponds site on Tuesday to announce the funding. The funding will support the manufacturer’s $33 million project to expand its advanced manufacturing of carbon fibre wheel for the global electric vehicle market.

It will increase Carbon Revolution’s manufacturing capacity by roughly 94 per cent, equating to an additional 75,000 carbon-fibre wheels per annum and reduce unit costs by 60 per cent. Mr Taylor said the project would position Australia as a leader in the production and export of carbon fibre wheels for the auto sector. It is also expected to create significant benefits for the broader local carbon fibre sector, provide better commercialisation pathways for research at Deakin University, and improve the cost effectiveness of

production and improve the ability to secure global supply contracts for the growing EV market. “Victoria has long been the centre of Australian manufacturing and remains a key source of revenue and jobs for the Victorian economy. Victorians have been strong and resilient in the face of a number of COVID-19 related lockdowns which posed real challenges to these manufacturers,” Mr Taylor said. Ms Henderson added it would provide benefit to the region. “With customers from Ford to Ferrari, Carbon Revolution is producing some of most

technically advanced and highest performing wheels on the planet, keeping our region on the modern manufacturing map,” she said. “Already a global technology powerhouse and major local success story, this $12 million grant from the Morrison Government, will enable sustainable wheel supply to the global electric vehicle market, driving cleaner technology and creating 323 smart jobs.” The funding is among $94 million the government to has allocated to 19 Victorian manufacturers under its Modern Manufacturing Initiative.

School election pledges Several schools across Geelong, Bellarine and Surf Coast are going to see upgrades if the Labor Party is elected at the federal election this month. Corangamite MP Libby Coker has had a busy week, making election commitments at five schools across the region. The biggest commitment was made to Inverleigh Primary School, which would receive $170,000 for an undercover basketball court. “Inverleigh Primary absolutely needs this undercover court and I’m pleased to commit to provide funding if a Labor government is elected,” she said. “I know that basketball is a popular sport with the kids of Inverleigh, which has produced some great young basketballers over recent years. “An undercover court will help to ensure the next generation of local players can train on a quality court that gives them the best chance to

enjoy and excel at the sport. “Basketball continues to be a growing sport, increasingly popular among girls and boys.” Grovedale College would also get an outdoor basketball through a $50,000 commitment, while Mirripoa Primary School in Mount Duneed would get $40,000 to fence its football oval. A separate $39,210 commitment would provide students at Surf Coast Secondary College with outdoor fitness equipment and Drysdale Primary School was promised $9800 for classroom IT equipment. Ms Coker said the funding commitments were part of Labor’s plan to improve school facilities across the nation. She said they would help get students’ education back on track after all the COVID disruptions of the past two years. Ash Bolt

Hospital pledge labelled a ‘con’ By Ash Bolt The state opposition has labelled the state government’s announcement it would fully fund a women’s and children’s hospital in Geelong in last week’s state budget as a “con”. Opposition health spokesperson Georgie Crozier said despite the government announcing about $500 million for the project, budget papers showed no money had been allocated towards delivering the hospital. She said despite the being a 2018 election commitment, the government had provided “provided no money and no timeline for the

commencement, construction or completion of this critical expansion”. ““In the middle of a health crisis Daniel Andrews is ripping money out of health and kicking construction of new hospitals down the road,” she said. “This is the consequence of Labor’s debt time bomb – health cuts, hollow promises and fewer services just as communities need them the most.” “Dodgy accounting tricks and ghost money won’t build hospitals, Geelong communities need a real plan to get this expansion built.” “Only a Matthew Guy Liberals and Nationals

government will put real money on the table and build the Geelong Women’s and Children’s Hospital.” Western Victoria MP Stuart Grimley had also raised concern that the budget papers listed funding for the hospital as ‘TBC’ until 2026. “Given this was part of Labor’s 2018 election commitments … I would have thought a plan for financial commitments to the hospital and a project plan would have been completed. I’m not sure if ‘TBC’ cuts the mustard but it’s still great news,” he said. However a government spokesperson said

the hospital had been allocated funding, which would be finalised once a construction tender was awarded. This hospital will give residents in Geelong, the Bellarine and the surf coast the confidence they will have the best possible care on their doorstep for when women and babies need it,” the spokesperson said. “For the opposition to spread lies and misinformation that this hospital won’t be built is nothing short of disgraceful. “The money has been allocated in the budget and we’re looking forward to getting on with the job.”

Recycled water boost More wineries and growers on the Bellarine Peninsula now have access to recycled water for irrigation with the expansion of the recycled water pipeline in Portarlington now complete. The $2 million project means recycled water can now be supplied to agricultural and horticultural customers, including vineyards, along Portarlington Road from Scotchmans Road to Church Road. Water Minister and Bellarine MP Lisa Neville said the increased use of recycled water for non-drinking purposes on the Bellarine Peninsula would boost agricultural production, create climate resilient tourism offerings, jobs and reduce reliance on drinking water for agriculture. “This will create jobs and provide Bellarine Peninsula’s unique wineries and agri-food businesses with the confidence to operate and expanded capacity,” she said. “The use of diverse water sources will ensure

safe, secure and affordable water for agriculture without impacting our drinking water supply into the future.” Planning for stage three of the project, which includes an upgrade of the Portarlington Water Reclamation Plant to provide 450 megalitres per year of lower salinity recycled water for high value agriculture and horticulture on the Bellarine, is under way. The state government will contribute $2 million towards stage 3 for the project along with $5.5 million from the Commonwealth and $6.4 million from Barwon Water. Barwon Water chair Jo Plummer welcomed the investment for the third stage. “We welcome the significant state support for this important project, which will give our Bellarine business customers the confidence to grow their businesses and save more drinking water for Barwon Water customers,” she said.

Libs pledge reserve upgrades Leopold, Barwon Heads and South Barwon will see significant upgrades to their sporting infrastructure if the Liberal government is re-elected at the federal election next week. Liberal Corangamite candidate Stephanie Asher said a re-elected government would provide $3.25 million to upgrade Leopold Memorial Reserve and $1.2 million to upgrade Barwon Heads’ Howard Harmer Reserve. South Barwon Recreation Reserve would also receive $1.6 million for upgrades. Ms Asher said the funding for the Leopold Memorial Reserve would support an upgrade of the junior change rooms, toilet block

facilities and the netball training spaces, as well as parking, accessibility and signage improvements. “Leopold Memorial Reserve is a well utilised community space for local sport and passive recreation, but ageing facilities are in need of an upgrade to keep pace with local demand,” she said. “These upgrades will support the Leopold Lions Football Netball Club as well as the broader community.” Barwon Heads Football Netball Club will also benefit from upgrades to the facilities at Howard Hamer Reserve.

“The funding will support the extension of the existing club building which is too now small to cater for the club’s needs. It will also be an important community asset,” Ms Asher said. “The number of teams has more than doubled in size since the club building was constructed in 2005 - increasing from 16 to 39 teams.” The project would be completed in partnership with Barwon Coast Committee of Management, Ms Asher said. Liberal candidate for Corio Manish Patel said South Barwon Recreation Reserve upgrade would mean better local facilities for Geelong

communities. The funding would be used to expand the facilities, upgrade the clubroom to include four change rooms and install a new commercial kitchen to support the work of Indians for Geelong, an organisation which cares for the disadvantaged of Geelong. “Indians for Geelong do amazing work for our local community and a new commercial kitchen, means more space and better facilities for them to continue providing that vital service to those in need,” he said. The South Barwon commitment matches a commitment made by Labor’s Richard Marles and Libby Coker last month.

Circular living in focus The dozen local EV owners displaying their cars were kept busy sharing their experiences and answering questions. Ms Perrett said there was also significant interest in testing e-bikes, with many convinced an e-bike would be a worthwhile purchase to lower travel costs and emissions. Event co-ordinator Jess Hobbs was delighted the event was almost waste-free with many people bringing their own reusable cups. “Tallying waste at the end, there was only one kilogram of recyclable items (mainly milk bottles) and a mere 250 grams of material that went to landfill,” Ms Hobbs said. City of Greater Geelong councillors Jim Mason and Anthony Aitken attended the show, which was supported by a City of Greater Geelong environment sustainability grant. The council also displayed a Kangoo e-van and a ride-on e-mower from its growing electric fleet.

The growing popularity of electric vehicles in the face of high petrol prices was a major drawcard for the more than 1000 people who attended the Circular Living and EV Show ‘n’ Shine events at Geelong Showgrounds this month. The events were organised by Geelong Sustainability and president Vicki Perrett said they showed the benefits of living sustainabily. “With petrol prices so high, people are discovering that electric vehicles may cost more upfront, but they have significantly lower running and maintenance costs,” she said. “Powering your car from your own rooftop solar has major benefits for your household budget and the environment.” Three EVs – an MG, a Nissan Leaf and a Tesla – were available for test drives around the arena, and proved popular with more than 30 people having their first zero emissions driving experience.

One of the hardest things about being an adult is working out what to eat each day. When you’re a kid, no one really warns you that one day you’ll have to cook yourself three meals a day – every single day. That’s why fun and lighthearted shows like this exist: to inspire eaters to create a different dish besides slapdash roast chicken or pasta. Tonight, Khanh Ong (pictured with co-host Elena Duggan) whips up a traditional Vietnamese savoury pancake; you won’t be the only one wishing he was cooking in your kitchen, instead of the one on your TV. THE YORKSHIRE VET 7TWO, Saturday, 7.30pm

The green pastures and hay meadows of Yorkshire are a sight to behold, but it’s the camaraderie between vets Julian Norton and Peter Wright (pictured) that offers the real feel-good viewing. Tonight, season 11 of the family-friendly series premieres, and it’s not without its unique countryside challenges. Julian heads to an emergency at Jackie’s alpaca farm, but two tractors stand in his way. Peter returns to the Greens’ farm after lockdown, where there’s a heap of veterinary work awaiting him. LEGO MASTERS Nine, Sunday, 7pm

Creativity is the name of the game in this lively competition hosted by comedian Hamish Blake (pictured), and tonight it pays for the teams to have their heads in the clouds. With an elimination looming at the end of the episode, the teams are given a LEGO cloud and challenged to build something amazing to live on it. With 14 hours on the clock to whip up their creations, it’s much more than an average day’s work – but for these teams it’s a dream come true. After all, most of them dedicate hours on a normal day to LEGO.

What’s this mysterious Space 22, you ask. It’s not a new sci-fi series or a funky new drama, but rather a bold, heartwarming social experiment. Named after the large warehouse space where most of this six-part documentary was filmed, it follows seven diverse Australians with mental illhealth as they embark upon a journey of creativity and art therapy to improve their wellbeing. Hosted by former Neighbours star and singer Natalie Bassingthwaighte (pictured), along with art psychotherapist Noula Diamantopoulos, this emotional premiere sees multimedia artist Abdul Abdullah guide the participants, including former police officer Tracey, to project their emotions onto an object.

FRIDAY FEATURE

Sharing stories of inspiration When Portarlington mum Clare Reilly was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, she found it hard to find inspiring stories of people who had learned to thrive with their illness. So she decided to tell them herself – through a podcast, MS Understood. Ash Bolt reports.

lare Reilly had no experience with podcasting but decided in late 2020 she wanted to share the stories of people living with multiple sclerosis and how they managed to succeed. “For two and a half years after I was diagnosed, I ignored my diagnosis and pretended it would go away,” she said. “It wasn’t until we moved back to Portarlington that I realised it wasn’t going away and I had to learn how to live with it. “I was in a headspace at the time where I wanted to hear stories of people with MS who were active and running marathons, who were working as lawyers or teachers – those real life stories of people living with MS. “But I found it really hard to find those stories. I found it hard to find anything that related to my life because most of the stories were about people with different symptoms who were in wheelchairs. “I’ve found out that while that can happen, for the majority the symptoms aren’t that severe, so I decided I’d reach out to a few people and tell the stories I wanted to hear.” The Portarlington mum’s journey with multiple sclerosis started in 2016 when she began suffering pain in her lower back. “My husband and I had a two-and-a-half year old at the time and we had just built our house and my lower back had been really sore,” she said. “It was a weird pain because it was like I couldn’t hold the half of my body up, so every time I’d be standing up, I just slowly bending over from the hips and I couldn’t stop it. “So I went to a physio and she was like, ‘this is just kind of out there’. But then she took some leave and so I went to a spiritual healer because I was trying everything to get this fixed. “Finally my parents pushed me to go to the GP and he almost immediately sent me to a neurologist, who told me it was either a benign brain tumour or multiple sclerosis.” Clare said it was about six weeks between that day and her diagnosis.

“I spent six weeks with no idea whether it was going to be benign brain tumour or multiple sclerosis, which was really tough,” she said. “In that time, we applied for this job up in Gippsland at an outdoor education centre, and as just as I got my diagnosis, we got the job. “So we moved and I ignored it for the next two and a half years. I just focused on the work and when I had a day where I couldn’t get out of bed because I was so tired, I blamed the job and not the MS. “But it wasn’t until we finished our contract and moved home that I realised I had MS – which sounds silly because I always knew, but that’s when it hit me.” Clare said she had difficulty walking because the multiple sclerosis had weakened her hip flexors, but she was thankful she hadn’t experience cognitive issues associated with the disease. After getting the help she needed for the first year back in Portarlington, Clare made the decision to start the weekly podcast and in October 2020, she released the first episode. “I’d never done anything like it before – I still don’t really know what I’m doing when it comes to the technical side to be honest,” she said. “I remember for the first few episodes I had reached out to some possible guests on Instagram and they were great about it, but I was so nervous for the interviews. “We were doing it over Zoom and I was probably quite stiff and followed my list of questions really closely … but it was a lot of fun and everyone had interesting stories to share. “I found it really beneficial for my own mental health around my diagnosis.” Clare said for the first year of the podcast she focused on telling the stories of people who lived with multiple sclerosis. “I got to talk to people like Tim Ferguson, the comedian who was in a band called [Doug Anthony All Stars] and a English woman, Emily Padfield, who was on a Netflix TV show called Win the Wilderness,” she said.

She shared an incredible analogy that has stuck with me – we are the CEO of our own multiple sclerosis business - Clare Reilly

“I’ve interviewed a bunch of people from different backgrounds who have done amazing things, like a woman who’s hiked the Great Wall of China in stilettos since her diagnosis to raise money, lawyers and teachers and I’ve got one coming up where interview a non-binary person with MS. “I’ve got the privilege of just being able to share as many different stories as possible, but after that first 12 months, I got what I suppose I needed out of the podcast, so I branched out. “I’ve started, every second week, to interview professionals, so therapists, neurophysios, physios, sex therapists, people who used to work for the NDIS. “All of those people who can support people living with MS.” Now more than 70 podcasts in, Clare said

she took something from every episode, but one with Melbourne-based psychologist Dr Sally Shaw stood out to her. “Every episode I do has shaped the way I look at my health and how I of manage my medical team, but there was one episode that stands out where I interviewed a woman called Dr Sally Shaw,” she said. “She’s a psychologist who has MS. Just speaking with her, given that she’s a psychologist and I’m studying psychology, to hear her perspective as a psychologist, but also with the understanding of the diagnosis and going through that process was really great. “She shared an incredible analogy that has stuck with me – we are the CEO of our own multiple sclerosis business. “We employ the neurologist, the physiotherapist, the therapist, or whoever, because they are the specialists in their field but if we don’t like them, or if they’re not doing the job, we’re allowed to find them. “To me, that’s really important – it’s about taking ownership over my diagnosis and my own life, which when you’re in this situation, you can get pulled around a lot.” Clare said she hoped to see the podcast continue to grow and develop because “there’s still a lot more stories to tell”. “I say this all the time but I couldn’t do it without the guests and I wouldn’t do it without the feedback,” she said. “The feedback I’ve received from people had been great. “Hearing from listeners that they’ve just devoured the first however many episodes while waiting on a diagnosis or things like it’s made them not feel so alone [are why I do it]. “That’s what I wanted when I was diagnosed – I wanted that support where I could just put my headphones in and I didn’t have to tell anyone. But I wanted to feel not so alone. “From the feedback I get, that’s what I think I have been able to provide for other people, and that’s why I do it.” MS Understood is available on all major podcast streaming platforms.

MY GEELONG Local business owner Melinda Williams tells Ash Bolt about her generational connection to the Bellarine and her love for Greater Geelong.

What do you like about where you live? I decided to move back to Geelong and the Bellarine just before my kids started school as I wanted them to experience the same relaxed, safe atmosphere I had when I was a child. We moved to Bellarine in 2005, and although it has grown in size and population the essence of why it is a great place to live is still here. The community of Geelong and the Bellarine is like a big country town where people support each other. It is comforting to go to the shops and see familiar faces and know people’s names. I also wanted to change my career pathway and was given the opportunity to take on a new position as a project manager at Barwon Health to help improve cancer services across the region. Previously I had worked in haematology/oncology in Melbourne as a registered nurse. What, if anything, would you change about

(Supplied)

What’s your connection to the region? My connection to Geelong and the Bellarine is generational. My grandparents and parents always visited Geelong and had a caravan in Ocean Grove. My parents used to come to Ocean Grove and Geelong when they were dating. I have photos of my parents sitting on the Barwon Heads river and at Eastern Beach when they were teenagers. As a young child I remember staying at my grandparents’ caravan when Ocean Grove was bush and mainly farming land. My parents then bought a caravan in Ocean Grove and I spent many amazing summers here as a teenager, back when you could light bonfires on the beach and see 80’s bands like the Hoodoo Gurus at the Collendina Pub.

where you live? When I first shifted to the Bellarine all I wanted was a good coffee, however that is no longer an issue in Geelong and the Bellarine. Over the years Geelong and the Bellarine have grown and it is now a very desirable food and wine destination. The amount of growth Geelong has seen particularly through COVID has however impacted business. Staff shortages are one of the key reasons businesses are closing down around Geelong and the

Bellarine. I think we need to offer incentives to get international students back to regional areas to fill all of the vacant jobs available. Where is your favourite local place to spend time? My favourite place to spend time would be at home with my family or out with friends at the Geelong Cellar door or The Piano Bar. Tell us something people would be surprised

to know about you … I am completing a diploma in meditation. Tell us a little bit about what you’ve got going on? After working at Barwon Health for 12 years I resigned to take on the role of business owner and practice manager of Adaptive Integrated Health Centre in Leopold. My husband, who is a podiatrist, and I bought the clinic and have set it up as an allied health clinic.

Baton passes to Wilding By Ash Bolt Orchestra Geelong has appointed well-known music teacher Janice Wilding as its new conductor and musical director. Well-known within Geelong’s music community as a teacher at both Christian College and St Ignatius College, Wilding is also a talented clarinettist that had previously played in the orchestra. She was first inspired by her teacher Richard Walthew and then had the honour of being taught by the Royal Philharmonic’s principal clarinettist Jack Brymer. As a conductor Janice has studied with Professor Steven Davis, Dr Carolyn Watson and Dr Nicholas Williams and has honed her skills with her students and St Ignatius’ Junior Band. Orchestra Geelong chairman Dean Conkwright said he was “delighted” with Wilding’s appointment. “Janice brings with her passion and enthusiasm, a new musical direction with a contemporary-classical blend and we know from her work in the music world here in Geelong, that she brings with her a strong sense of community which is of course, a key focus for our orchestra,” he said. In her first responsibility as musical director, Wilding has prepared the Orchestra Geelong Concert Series repertoire for 2022. She said it was an honour to take over the role from Mark Shiell. “The Geelong community’s thriving music scene is emerging revitalised and energised after two years of lockdowns and restrictions,” she said. “I am excited to lead Orchestra Geelong in their part in bringing community music to this region, especially at this time, and to celebrating the incredible role music plays in all our lives.

“We have a wonderful and varied program for the year ahead, showcasing Geelong soloists – Suzanne Moodie (flute) and Max Rudd (guitar) and collaborating with choirs – With One Voice and the Geelong Welsh Ladies Choir. “There is something for everyone – ranging from Vivaldi and Mozart through to

Chaminade and Kats-Chernin and finishing the year off with some themes from the screen, highlighting James Horner’s Avatar Suite. “We invite you to join us and experience the joy and magic of orchestral music.” The orchestra will be performing the first of its Concert Series, The Shimmering Chaminade and Touch of Magic on Sunday, May 29.

staged by the Geelong Gallery. From the late-1930s, the gallery has awarded acquisitive prizes variously for paintings, watercolours and prints, sponsored by a variety of individuals and corporate supporters. In the mid-1990s, the Geelong Art Gallery Foundation established the Geelong Contemporary Art Prize with the aim of showcasing the work of contemporary Australian painters and enriching the gallery’s collection of contemporary Australian art through the acquisition of a winning work. Over its history, works by Diena Georgetti (2021), Andrew Browne (2018), Kate Beynon (2016), Rob McHaffie (2014), Paul Ryan (2012), Tim McMonagle (2010), Nadine Christensen (2008), Sam Leach (2006) and Juan Ford (2004) have been acquired through the nationally significant art prize.

Artistic friends go on show Rachinger Gallery is set to open its newest exhibition later this month. The exhibition, titled Artistic Friends, will exhibit the works of Wanda Throckmorton, Sue White and Joy Hyland. The friends are all Geelong locals and produce artworks that are as expressive, diverse and vibrant as their personalities. While painting is their preferred medium, subject matter ranges from landscapes to abstracts via portraiture. All are colourists and the rich tones and textures of their works reflect their skills with the palette knife as well as the brush, “the more paint the better,” as Joy says. But it is the use of colour that defines their work, at times exuberant, at times restrained, but always considered and layered with finesse. Rachinger Gallery is a contemporary art space presenting exhibitions that promote the diversity and depth of Geelong’s visual arts and the importance of creative expression to community identity. The gallery covers the foyer, lounge and corridors of Eastern Hub and is named in honour of Norman Rachinger, who worked with children with a disability and special needs at Karingal for 30 years and served five terms as president of Karingal Inc, now known as GenU. The exhibition will open on Monday, May 30 and run until Saturday, June 25. The gallery at the Eastern Hub in McKillop Street, East Geelong is open 9am-5pm on Monday to Friday and 9am-2.30pm on Saturday. Ash Bolt

Inaugural Surround Sounds Geelong ends on a high note Following a month of celebrating the biggest names and newest faces in Australian music, the inaugural Surround Sounds Geelong and the Bellarine Music festival ended on a high last weekend with multi-award-winning Australian country music artist Kasey Chambers performing at Costa Hall. City of Greater Geelong arts, live entertainment and hospitality portfolio chair Eddy Kontelj said the month-long music festival had made a significant contribution to the City. Over the festival, which ran from April 7 to May 8, a total of 840 musicians performed at 90 events hosted at 35 venues across the city. More than 14,000 people attended the events. “With the broad offerings and the activations of Surround Sounds that occurred throughout 20 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 13 May, 2022

the City of Greater Geelong, we are one step closer to becoming the live entertainment hub of regional Australia,” Cr Kontelj said. “Giving residents and visitors to our region

over 90 events to choose from over the last month has helped to reinvigorate the live music scene and local businesses alike.” Cr Kontelj said there were several highlights throughout the festival, with many significant performances for the region. Among them were two nights of OK Motel’s latest music tourism event West Town Music Club at the Geelong West Town Hall; Billabong Songs, a celebration of First Nations music, culture and yarns in Johnstone Park; Geelong Jazz Day; the Ocean Grove Acoustic Festival; and Music in Exile at the newly refurbished Palais Theatre. The festival also saw several weekends dedicated to Australian Music Vault’s Geelong Music Bus Tours with legendary Geelong music icons Mick Thomas, Adalita and Maree

Robertson taking punters on a nostalgic journey throughout the City of Greater Geelong, highlighting the rich music heritage that is embedded within the city’s cultural DNA. The festival also included a diverse range of activities, including responses to music through visual art in Draw the Music at Creative Geelong; APRA AMCOS one-on-one sessions and workshops with Alice Ivy and Jini Maxell; and the opportunity to hear first-hand from musicians Lloyd Spiegel and Ali Barter how they carved out career paths in the music industry. Surround Sounds Geelong and the Bellarine Music Festival was presented by City of Greater Geelong and the Victorian government through Creative Victoria.

2022 business awards launched By Ash Bolt Business leaders from across the Greater Geelong region came together at The Pier Geelong on Thursday, May 5 to launch the 2022 Geelong Business Excellence Awards. Geelong Chamber of Commerce chief executive Ben Flynn said it was an exciting time for businesses in the region. “I don’t think there could be possibly be a better time to launch the awards,” he said. “As I talk to everyone around the room, confidence is high [and] people are getting back to business. We’ve got through that tricky period, there might be a little bit left over but there’s a lot to be really proud of and really positive about in Geelong. “Even if you look at the last couple of weeks, we’ve got the Commonwealth Games coming through, a new hospital and a multitude of other sort of promises that we hope to see coming through.

‘‘

The last 12 months have been a clear example of what the business community can do

’’

- Trent Sullivan “Geelong is the place to be and what better way to play our part but to recognise those businesses that are really driving us forward. That’s what the awards are all about.” City of Greater Geelong deputy mayor Trent Sullivan added the awards would recognise Geelong’s multitude of “amazing businesses”. “The last 12 months have been a clear example of what the business community can do,” he said. “The pivoting, creating new opportunities, finding new sources of income, altering or adjusting how you provide your goods or services, has just been incredible. I need not tell anybody in here about the difficulties that faced especially in the world of lockdowns and ever-changing restrictions. “So every business, in just surviving the last couple of years is deserving of recognition and awards in their own right. And it’s been incredibly, incredibly tough. “But the awards here are a perfect opportunity to celebrate viral success stories, which is coming out past couple years. I’m sure we will get some incredibly strong entries coming through this. “If you’re a business owner, business leader, entrepreneur, I strongly encourage everybody to apply because not only are these awards a great source of recognition, [they’re] … telling the stories of what people are doing.” Entries are open until July 15, and the Chamber of Commerce will host online information sessions for potential entrants at 5pm on May 17 and noon on May 19.

SUV is a good family fit 12451426-SN24-20

By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Honda CR-V VTi L7 is a seven-seat SUV that is one of many models within the comprehensive range. It’s aimed at those who need to carry plenty of people, often including children either on everyday running about, though it’s the sort of vehicle that can be used on holiday trips as well. Keep in mind that if you do carry seven the luggage capacity is severely limited. Check for yourself be taking the family along while you are choosing which SUV you’re going to buy and making sure how they all fit in. At the same time have the little ones have a good view out to the side.

Styling – The designers have sensibly kept practicality in mind when penning CR-V but have managed to give it a pretty styling look. All who commented on it during our test period liked the shape.

happening rather than having the car do it for you. What Honda calls ‘Lane Watch’ is a blind spot camera that gives a picture on the interior screen when you turn on the blinker. However, it’s only on the passenger side, presumably because Honda feels the driver has better vision on their side. Can’t say we liked the way it works, so I used the usual turn of my head to check before changing lanes.

Driving – Driving on smooth roads, these Practical lines with plenty of style work well visually. (Supplied)

sitting out from the dashboard. There is a phone-shaped shelf in the centre console, large drink holders and a deep centre stowage as well as big door bins.

Infotainment – Android Auto and wired Apple CarPlay are standard in the CR-V model, as is satellite navigation with traffic updates.

Interior – The front seats are wide and comfortable and are shaped to provide support during fairly spirited cornering. The second-row seats have plenty of space to accommodate two adults or teens who are growing up fast. And the centre seat is wide enough to be reasonably comfortable. There’s a fold-down centre arm rest with drink holders, directional air vents provide a good flow. There are pockets behind both front seats, and bottle holders in each door. The rearmost seats are reasonably spacious but aren’t all that easy to get into. At least for adults, the kids will love them and will chose to sit way back there as far from the parents as possible! Ahead of the driver is a part-digital instrument cluster, with a 7.0-inch touchscreen

Engines / transmissions – Power comes from a high-tech1.5-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine. It has 140 kW of power and 240 Nm of torque that’s there all the way from 2000 to 5000 revs. The CR-V’s engine sits beside a CVT automatic that keeps the revs at exactly the right place all the time.

Safety – Honda CR-V has a five-star ANCAP rating. There are front, front-side and curtain airbags, the latter extending to the third row in seven-seat models It has lane- and road-departure warnings, there’s blind-spot monitoring is fitted to the VTi X and up models. If you’re driving another model you will have to pay attention to what’s

Hondas are quiet and unflustered, indeed there was near silence from the tyres on motorways. Some coarse-chip surfaces added significant noise, but not to an uncomfortable level. Comfort is good and the seats supported well, even over long distances. Steering is light and responsive, it’s safe and forgiving in tight cornering if you push it hard. Obviously, it’s not intended to be driven that way, but it’s nice to know should you want to give it a fang. Honda has a long history in motor sport, whether it’s on two wheels or four. The cruise control is easy to set up and adjust on the move. Honda CR-V’s engine has a minimum of turbo lag. The transmission is always in the correct ratio - which is hardly a surprise given that it has an infinite number of ‘gears’ between the lowest and highest ratios in the automatic. If you’re not used to driving a continuously variable transmission you may initially not like the way it operates. However, you will become accustomed to it and appreciate the added performance and fuel saving it provides. Fuel consumption on our 500-plus kilometres of testing was in the seven to eight litres per hundred kilometres around town and in the suburbs. On the motorways it dropped to an impressively low five to six litres per hundred.

Ratugolea out for ankle surgery By Ash Bolt Geelong will be without explosive Cat Esava Ratugolea for the near future with the ruck-forward set for a stint on the sidelines after he underwent ankle surgery this week. Ratugolea was nearing a return as he worked his way back from shoulder and ankle injuries when he injured his ankle on the training track late last week. “After specialist consultation it has been decided that Esava will undergo an operation on his ankle to give him the best chance to play as soon as possible,” head of medical and conditioning services Harry Taylor said. Fellow ruck Rhys Stanley will be hoping to overcome his own ankle injury in time to face St Kilda at Marvel Stadium on Saturday. Cats coach Chris Scott said he was confident Stanley would pass a fitness test and be available to play. “He’s tracking well, we think he’ll play,” Scott said. “He was obviously close to getting to the line last week without quite making it. We were always optimistic that he’d come up this week.” Scott said he was also confident captain Joel Selwood would be fit to play after suffering a corked quad and missing the win over Greater

Esava Ratugolea.

(Luke Hemer) 201937_06

Western Sydney in Canberra last week. “He had a series of corks in his quad that just meant that he wasn’t going to be right to play and I think we’ve been consistent throughout the course of the year … in that our priority is to make sure that all our guys go out and play when they’re in a position to play at their best,” he said. “We don’t want to ask those guys and push through things that limit them too much. The week off will help Joel a lot.” Shaun Higgins also missed last week’s win with soreness and Taylor said he would need to pass a fitness test to play. Jed Bews won’t face the Saints after copping a heavy hit from Giant Jesse Hogan.

“Jed suffered a concussion in the game against GWS and will follow the AFL concussion guidelines,” Taylor said. Midfielder Sam Menegola is close to returning after his comeback from knee surgery was interrupted by a bout of concussion. “Sam has made some significant gains as he gets close to a return,” Taylor said. “He’ll progress back into the main training group this week, with the view to play in the near future.” The club continues to monitor key defender Jack Henry as the medical and conditioning team waits for Henry to be pain free before ramping up his training loads, despite his foot being structurally sound. “Jack is progressing well in his reconditioning plan. He has increased his training loads and we hope to see Jack back out there soon,” Taylor said. “He is an important and highly valued member of the playing group.” Dashing youngster Max Holmes is on the recovery trail after successful surgery last week. “Max had a successful operation on his ankle injury and will now follow a reconditioning plan that we hope will have Max back out in the hoops in the medium term,” Taylor said. “Max has had a terrific start to the year and continues to bring great energy to the group, despite his recent injury.”

The Cats will have more to play for this week, with Chris Scott set to break the record for most wins as Cats’ coach if Geelong defeats St Kilda. Last week’s win over GWS moved Scott into equal first place with Cats legend Reg Hickey on 184 wins. “I really struggle, and always have as a player and especially as a coach, with individual acknowledgments,” Scott said. “But what I am really proud of is what the club has been able to achieve over a ten or twelve year period. I think a long, long time after I’m finished I might reflect on some of those things but I consider the coaching position to be a product of the support that the club gives me, and even more, a product of the playing list we’ve been able to put together. “I’m so proud of the job they’ve done … effectively we have rebuilt a list over a 10 or 12-year period without access to top 10 picks. “If you had told me we would do it the way we have done it, back then, I would have been nervous but I’m so proud to be a part of this club so I really struggle to think about what it means to me as an individual. “I would much prefer to think about what it means to us as a collective.”

The victorious Victoria Aces at Geelong’s Australian Women’s Baseball Showcase. (Brendan Beacom/Baseball Australia)

Top baseball players put on a show Geelong has played host to Australia’s best female baseball players, hosting the 2022 Australian Women’s Baseball Showcase last week. Teams representing the Victoria Aces, Brisbane Bandits and Adelaide Giants all took to the Geelong Baseball Centre in Grovedale from Thursday, May 5 to Sunday, May 8 for the tournament. Along with Australia’s leading players, including local pitching legend Genevieve Beacom, seven internationals from Canada, Japan and the United States were drafted into the teams, giving fans the chance to see some of the top players in the world competing. After four days of competition, the Victoria Aces were victorious in Sunday’s final, winning 7-4 in the final over Brisbane to be crowned champions. Brisbane finished top of the ladder with three wins from its four group games, while Victoria also qualified for the final with two wins. Morgan Doty lead the scoring for the Aces with a solo home run in the second inning, before Brisbane immediately took the lead with two runs. The Aces added a second run in the fourth inning, but Brisbane again immediately added

another of its own to jump to a 3-2 lead. But a fifth-inning rally saw the Aces take control of the game. Taylah Welch’s two-out RBI-single put Victoria on top after an Anna Kimbrell sacrifice fly tied the contest in the top of the fifth. The two most recent Australian Women’s Baseball Championship most valuable players Bronwyn Gell and Abbey Kelly then added insurance with singles. Doty was then hit by a pitch with the bases-loaded to make it 7-3 as the Aces batted around. Pitcher Jess Johnson shut the door in the bottom of the fifth but not without a scare, as Brisbane’s Jordan Richardson launched a solo homer to start the home half of the inning. But Brisbane couldn’t add any more runs, as the Aces closed out the win. This competition is an important pathway to selection for the national team, which is currently ranked eighth in the world and has its sights on a medal run at the next World Cup. It was also designed to raise the profile of the women’s game, with the goal of establishing a professional women’s league in Australia. Ash Bolt

Several Geelong Falcons junior footballers will have the chance to show their skills for recruiters this weekend. Victoria’s top mid-season draft prospects will take on future stars of the AFL for the second consecutive week on Sunday, with the Colgate Young Guns set to take on Victoria Country’s under-18 team at IKON Park. The match follows last week’s clash between the Colgate Young Guns and Victoria Metro under-18 at Avalon Airport Oval, where the Colgate Young Guns produced a 20.11 (131) to 11.7 (73) victory. The Colgate Young Guns team has been selected by AFL recruiters as they look to bolster their lists in the 2022 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft, which will be held on Wednesday, June 1. The game will give 19-year-old Newton and Chilwell footballer Euriah Hollard a second chance to impress, after he played in the winning team last week. Hollard has played five games for the Geelong Falcons in the NAB League this season, for seven goals. He will come up against several teammates this weekend, with four Falcons picked to represent Victoria Country. Victoria Country will also be coached by Falcons coach Paul Corrigan. Newtown and Chilwell’s Oscar Murdoch, Colac’s Will Parkhouse, St Joseph’s Olivier Northam and Queenscliff’s Jhye Clark will all have the chance to push their case for a spot in the Victoria Country squad for the 2022 AFL under-18 national championships later this year. Clark, who captains the Falcons, is also a member of the 2022 AFL Academy and has been touted as a possible AFL draft pick come season’s end, with his leadership highly regarded.

The teams, split into two sections, play on a reduced-sized court with parents acting as scorers and ball retrievers, while the kids play Fast Four format singles and doubles matches, developing their skills in serving, ball striking and placement. This term Surfcoast Bellbrae has two teams, Blue and Aqua, with players entered for their first term. Geelong Lawn has two teams, White and Green, with one team of new players and the other with a mix of new and returning players, while Point Lonsdale, Clifton Springs, Barwon Heads, Drysdale,

Emily McGettigan.

Grovedale and St Mary’s have a mix of new and returning players in their teams. In cold windy conditions the teams competed well, and while the event is scored, the main purpose is the introduction to the rules and scoring of matches rather than the results, and having a focus of fun on court. Geelong Lawn, Barwon Heads and Clifton Springs were all hit by illness this week, but the available players got there and enjoyed their matches. It was also encouraging to see so many parents on court helping and directing the kids, despite the weather. While the focus isn’t on winning at this level, it was great to see the players and their improvement since last term, and that everyone had some success with all teams winning at least one set, and four of the six matches tied at three sets all. It won’t be long until these budding players are ready to move into the junior competition proper.

Junior surfers ride wave of success Four Surf Coast and Bellarine junior surfers have taken wins at the third round of the Victorian Junior Surfing Titles on Sunday. In two-to-three foot offshore lines at his home beach in Jan Juc, Jarvis Barrow made it three wins from three in the under-14 boys’ competition. Barrow qualified for the final after dominating Saturday’s heat with one of the biggest waves of the day, where he snapped off the lip of a huge finishing section for a score of 8.17. He backed it up with a second score of 6.33 to book his spot in the final. In Sunday’s final, he backed up his good form with the two highest scoring waves in the final to claim the win, ahead for fellow Jan Juc surfers Remy Filer and Jack Lindsay in second and third respectively. It was a clean sweep for Jan Juc in the under-14 competitions, with Chloe Muscroft claiming the win for the girls. 26 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 13 May, 2022

Muscroft won a tight heat over Torquay’s Dune Pruvot on Saturday, with both surfers qualifying for the final, while Wallington’s Billie Cook finished second in her heat and also made the final. Muscroft saved her best for Sunday and was the most consistent surfer in the final, picking up scores of 6.50 and 6.57, to claim a 2.41-point win. Pruvot looked a chance when she scored 6.83 on one wave, but couldn’t find a second strong score and finished third. The region was also well-represented in the boys’ under-16 final, which was won by Barwon Heads’ Max Bassett. One of the biggest fields of the event, with 15 entrants, saw Bassett and fellow Barwon Heads local Harry Farrer qualify for the final alongside Jan Juc’s Nalu Belyea and Leroy Filer. In tough scoring conditions, Bassett scored the best two waves in the finals – and the only waves scoring over five points – to finish with a score of 11.86.

Salmon are holding in good numbers

Belyea scored his highest scores on his last two waves and his total of 8.60 put him in second, ahead of Filer in third. The final Surf Coast winner came in the under-18 girls’ competition, where Jan Juc’s Emily McGettigan put together one of the highest scores of the day in a high-quality final. McGettigan put together two solid waves in Saturday’s heat to qualify for the final in second place behind Eva Bassed. However she was able to flip the result on Sunday in one of the tightest finals of the round. McGettigan scored a 7.33 on her second wave and backed it up later with a 7.90 – her best of the weekend – to give herself a strong score of 15.23. Bassed proved a worthy challenger, scoring the highest single-wave score of the final with an 8.27, but her second best score of 5.80 meant McGettigan took the win by 1.16 points. Fellow Jan Juc surfer Cielle Bouvier took third by just 0.04 points.

Inside Corio Bay has remained very productive with Australian salmon still holding in great numbers right across the bay and the waterfront hosting most of the action. Quite often the salmon can be seen busting up in varied parts of the bay and casting a small soft plastic amongst it should result in a hook-up nearly every time. Pinky snapper and flathead have both been a common by-catch at the moment and as the cooler months roll in the fishing inside the bay should only improve. The outer harbour has been a King George whiting hotspot as of late with Clifton Springs and Point Wilson proving to be stand out locations. Fishing the lead up to a tide change has been the most effective time to fish. Fresh calamari is always going to be a great bait along with pipis, to get the extra edge over the other boats drop the burley pot down with some pellets or pilchards cubes inside and that will bring the school right to you. Around the corner towards St Leonards the whiting fishing out there at the moment is hot as well, the fish do seem to be bigger on average and there appears to be plenty more fish too. Calamari have also been in great numbers right across the peninsula. Holding in anywhere from 2-4 metres of water over the broken ground and weed have been great locations to start looking. The water has been quite dirty due to all the recent rain but using squid jigs with a rattle has been a game changer, spray on squid scent has been helpful also. Offshore Barwon Heads has been fishing very well for gummy sharks with some quality fish being caught. From Barwon Heads to as far west towards Lorne along the 30 metre line has been fantastic. Sharks to over 20kg have been boated along with plenty of smaller ones. Down the coast the tuna bite is hot. Barrels and school fish are everywhere – barrels have been in great numbers between Port Fairy and right through to Port MacDonnell with fish to 140kg on offer. Aloha Super Ninjas have proved yet again to be a standout lure selection. School tuna have been in plague numbers right along the coast, typically a bit wider of the barrels however there are still plenty in closer. Starting on the 70m line and working around is the best place to start.
