The Give Where You Live Foundation is asking the people of Geelong to dig deep to help out those in our own community. The Give Geelong Appeal, which runs from Friday, March 17 to Friday, March 24, seeks to raise money to support those who are doing it tough in our region. The foundation will use the funds raised to help meet the basic needs of people who are experiencing serious crisis, as well as fund local education and employment programs. Give Where You Live Foundation acting chief executive Meg Price said she was looking forward to seeing Geelong get behind those most in need. The appeal kicks off Friday with Footy Colours Day, with workplaces, sports clubs, friendship groups and schools all encouraged to participate by wearing their footy colours and donating to the cause. Give Where You Live is also holding its Give Geelong Breakfast on Thursday, March 23, at the President’s Room at GMHBA Stadium. The breakfast, hosted by local identity Paula Kontelj, will also feature speaker Sarah Wilson, author, broadcaster and founder of the ‘I Quit Sugar’ movement. Details: givewhereyoulive.com.au
Family violence rate rises By Jena Carr Reports of family violence have increased across the region, according to new statistics. On Thursday, the Crime Statistics Agency (CSA) released the recorded crime statistics for the year ending December 31, 2022, revealing an 11.3 per cent rise in family violence incidents in Geelong. According to CSA, there were 4664 reports of family violence in Greater Geelong in the year to December 31, up from 4194 reports 12 months prior.
Breaches of family violence orders rose from 2434 reported breaches in 2021 to 2825 breaches in 2022. Victoria Police deputy commissioner of regional operations Rick Nugent Victoria Police would continue concentrating on family violence. He said family violence investigation unit detectives focused on known family violence perpetrators and victims daily to detect offending and support those impacted. Overall, Geelong’s crime rate fell by 0.4 per cent from 20,001 offences recorded in 2021 to
19,911 offences recorded in 2022. Central Geelong recorded the highest number of reports (3142), followed by Corio (2437), Norlane (1962), Lara (973) and Belmont (924). Breaches of family violence orders was the most common offence across the region, followed by theft from a motor vehicle (2106 offences), criminal damage (1728 offences), other theft (1462 offences) and theft from a retail store (854 offences). Mr Nugent said despite increasing offences, the data did show some positive outcomes.
“It is very pleasing that overall crime is still almost 10 per cent below pre-pandemic levels,” he said. “These trends align with our expectations based on the intelligence available, which indicates that crime has not dramatically ‘snapped back’ to pre-COVID levels.” “Over the coming year, police will continue to focus on proactive prevention and enforcement to ensure that the community is not only safe, but also feels safe in their homes, in public and on the roads.”

Geelong Chamber announces CEO By Matt Hewson The Geelong Chamber of Commerce has announced Jeremy Crawford as its new chief executive, commencing at the beginning of April. Mr Crawford will take over from current chamber chief executive Ben Flynn, who announced late last year he would step down from the position to enjoy more time with his family. Having begun his career in hospitality, hotels and major events, Mr Crawford has held senior positions with the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, Rydges and as chief executive of the Werribee Racing Club. He joins the chamber from Medibank, where he has served as head of talent acquisition and
more recently as senior partnerships manager. Mr Crawford said he had not planned to leave Medibank but couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take on the top job at the chamber. “For me, it was such an interesting opportunity at the right time, when there’s so much happening in the region,” Mr Crawford said. “When I thought about some of the incredible events and opportunities that are just around the corner, I had a real motivation to be involved somehow.” Mr Crawford said the Geelong Chamber of Commerce had played an important role in the region for a very long time, and while he had general ideas on the chamber’s direction in the future he was in no rush to make sweeping changes.
“This role has the privilege of being able to balance a rich history and tradition and work with an incredible board and team mission to keep moving forward,” he said. “The chamber has had long-term success playing the role of connecting people and businesses to each other and to opportunities. “I see opportunities to perhaps broaden some of the service offerings to business, and that’s something we’ll explore over the coming years, but it’s really early for me to start putting in place a new vision. “I think one approach we’ll take as an organisation is for the chamber to be a representative body for all business. We’ll do a deep dive into what current members are looking for, and also get a better understanding
of what some non-members are looking for.” Geelong Chamber board chair Dr John Stekelenberg said he was pleased to appoint Mr Crawford as the new chief executive. “Jeremy brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our organisation, having worked with business entities and leading corporate partnerships,” Dr Stekelenberg said. “He has great charisma and passion for the Geelong region. The selection panel were impressed by Jeremy’s enthusiasm and are certain he’ll connect very well with our vibrant membership community. “We are confident that he will provide exceptional leadership as we continue to support and promote the growth of local businesses in the Geelong area.”

Family-friendly park in west Residents can have their say on the renewal plans of a valued and historic play space in the centre of Geelong West. Greater Geelong council decided to renew Sparrow Park and replace the current playground equipment on site with new equipment and trees planted for shade. Mayor Trent Sullivan said he looked forward to the renewal of Sparrow Park and encouraged residents to share their views on the proposed plans. “The intended Sparrow Park renewal is an important step in providing for the recreational needs of families in the community,” he said. “Responding to the survey questions will help the city to understand community views on the proposed playground renewal plans.” Council said it intended for Sparrow Park to remain a district playground that provided a
range of play opportunities and amenities that catered to all abilities and ages. Councillor and chair of the leisure and recreation portfolio, Peter Murrihy, urged residents to complete the short survey and have their say on the proposed plans. “The intended Sparrow Park renewal is an important step in providing for the recreational needs of families in the community,” he said. Council will provide the local community with the opportunity for face-to-face engagement on Wednesday, March 22, at 8am, and Sunday, March 26, at 9am, at Sparrow Park. On-site signage outlining the proposed plans is also available, and people can contribute their thoughts on the proposal online at yoursay.geelongaustralia.com.au/SparrowPark by Sunday, March 26.

A safe zone is being trialled along Geelong’s Little Malop Street to increase pedestrian safety. The City of Greater Geelong Council will undertake a 12-month trial that will include the installation of rising bollards between Dennys Place and Moorabool Street. The bollards will act to prevent vehicles from entering the area daily from 10am to 4am the following morning. Mayor Trent Sullivan said the trial would contribute to the council’s efforts to make the dining and entertainment precinct even more attractive by addressing safety issues. “Geelong’s becoming known for its vibrant laneway culture and we want to continue to build on that by testing out a pedestrian safe zone that also increases the available space for events and activations,” he said. “As the region experiences a renaissance following COVID disruptions, we are committed to encouraging and attracting more economic activity to the area.” Vehicle access will be controlled through a keypad access code, with emergency services and residents of the area allowed 24-hour access. The automatic bollards have also been fitted with a warning siren, light, sensor, and signage to signal to pedestrians and vehicles when in operation. Residents and business owners can apply for access to the area and gain a code to the keypad by emailing centralgeelong@ geelongcity.vic.gov.au with their name, business/property/residential address, business name and phone number.

A Wadawurrung woman has been awarded for her contributions and leadership efforts towards the Geelong community. During their International Women’s Day breakfast, the Committee for Geelong presented Corrina Eccles with the 2022 Frank Costa Leadership Award. “Being nominated and receiving the Frank Costa award for the recognition of the work, commitment, and endless passion I have to make a better future for First Nation’s people is incredibly humbling,” Mrs Eccles said. “I am committed to helping the children of our community to know their culture and identity so that they can grow strong and be proud of who they are. “I think about the thousands of years of our ancestors. Our young people will represent and hold cultural obligations just like I do, and all First Nations people do, and this has been pivotal in my leadership and voice in the community. “Ten years ago, Frank Costa interviewed me as one of many people he chose to write about in his book, ‘Geelong in our own words’. “Here I am 10 years on receiving this award from an inspirational leader who has left an enormous legacy for Djilang.” The Committee for Geelong chair Clive Pugh said he was honoured to present Mrs Eccles the award for her work towards the Geelong community in front of more than 400 attendees. “Corrina has been a leader in so many ways but to me she has been a teacher of culture, values and leadership,” he said. “Corrina has played a huge role in improving recognition, respect, and representation of First Nations people within the region. “She continues to demonstrate bravery through taking action and by sharing her personal story.” The Frank Costa Annual Leadership

Have your say on proposed build By Jena Carr The Torquay community can have its say on an amended proposed development plan. Surf Coast Shire Council met to consider approving an amended development plan for Torquay’s Briody estate west during a special council meeting on March 7. The land included in the development plan is 90 to 170 Grossmans Road, 95 to 135 and 150 to 170 Briody Drive, and 15 to 31 Illawong Drive in Torquay. Tract consultants town planning and architecture design firm senior principal
Simon Loader on behalf of the applicant, aged care and retirement village owner Summerset, addressed key community concerns during the meeting. “Summerset is addressing a long-term community need to house senior Australians, there is data that we have an aging population, and these facilities are critical,” he said. “We note that the density of residential development outside the aged care village area remains unchanged. However, the overall number of residential lots has dropped off on account of the retirement village is included.
“The intersection of Briody and Illawong drive has been flagged to be upgraded as well to make sure that intersection is safe in the long term.” Since the approval of the original development plan in 2017, land ownership in the area has significantly changed. The main changes to the previous plan included; incorporating a retirement village, re-locating the local park, replacing the eastern drainage reserve with a linear strip reserve and underground treatment device, a future roundabout, and including future bike lanes.
Many community members shared their concerns during the meeting regarding the new development, which identified six main problems. The community were concerned that the new plan would bring more people into the area, stormwater management issues, traffic and highway issues, the loss of open space, and impacts on vegetation, and objected to another retirement village in an area that may not need one. Council will further consider the submissions in a report regarding the application at a future council meeting.
Kids purr at Cats’ visit Two Geelong kids have been left purring with excitement after a special meetup with some famous local football stars. Past Royal Children’s Hospital patients Malu Hunt and Ollie Wedding met AFL’s Geelong Cats stars Tom Stewart, Rhys Stanley and Mark Blicavs for a tour of Lara’s Good Friday Appeal house on Monday. Erin Hunt said her son Malu was excited to meet the sports legends and that the four-year-old was currently enjoying life after having surgery and rehab in the past to treat debilitating seizures. “He’s just started four-year-old kinder, making new friends and loving it. He is living life to the fullest,” she said. Erin said Malu’s surgery might not have been possible without the community’s support of the Royal Children’s Hospital. “It’s hard to put into words, it’s so amazing and we are so lucky to be just one hour from the
best hospital in Australia,” she said. Meg Wedding said her son Ollie loved meeting the players and was doing well after his lower leg was amputated when he was 18 months old. “He’s really, really good. He has a blade prosthesis now, with in-built suspension, and he’s very active jumping off everything and climbing every tree,” she said. Meg said the Royal Children’s Hospital had provided a lot of support to her family and felt that programs like the Good Friday Appeal house auction helped raise money for families in need.

Viva terminal scrutiny intensifies The Geelong Viva Gas Terminal has come under government and community scrutiny regarding environmental concerns. Viva Energy’s Floating Regasification and Storage Unit (FRSU) proposal for Corio Bay received 2043 Parliamentary Inquiry submissions, with most opposing the project. Planning Minister Sonya Kilkenny decided in Parliament last Wednesday that the project required an additional Environment Effects Statement to be prepared. Environment Victoria chief executive Jono La Nauze said he believed Parliament should have rejected the project outright. “While we’re pleased the government has
acknowledged that Viva Energy’s current Environmental Effects Statement is completely inadequate, the planning minister should go further and reject this polluting project,” he said. “The new Environment Effects Statement must consider Victoria’s new climate change targets to cut emissions by up to 80 per cent by 2035.” A Viva Energy spokesperson said they had been working on the project for more than than two years and that reports by the ACCC and the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) found that there was a need for the terminal.
“In 2021 we announced our vision to transform the Geelong Refinery site into a modern Energy Hub, supplying the traditional fuels the refinery produces today but also adding the potential to supply transitional energy such as gas alongside renewable and other energy security projects,” they said. “There are about two million households and 65,000 businesses in Victoria that rely on gas for heating, cooking and industry who could benefit from this project. Viva Energy also sees gas playing a key role in the energy transition in firming the electricity grid as Victoria moves to rely more on renewable energy.
“Viva Energy and the Geelong Refinery have a long history of safe and environmentally sound operations and strive to achieve Goal Zero; that is no harm to people or the environment. “The extensive Environment Effects Statement process conducted over the last two years incorporated input from 22 independent experts who conducted 16 specialist studies. “Viva Energy is assessing the minister’s request for additional information, together with the report of the Independent Advisory Committee (IAC) to determine next steps, including to assess the likely impact to timing for the project.”
New map for Bellarine A new free Bellarine bicycle and walking map has received positive feedback during a community consultation meeting. On Tuesday, the Bellarine Bicycle Users Group hosted a public consultation meeting for cyclists and walkers to share their opinions on an active travel map for the Bellarine. Group member Annie Proctor said the community had expressed much interest in a map detailing the safest routes for people in the area. “It’s been several years since we’ve actually had a paper map, which is useful for cyclists and walkers,” she said. “Basically, it’s something useful for locals, older people, women, and families to be able to get out there safely and learn to ride a bike or to walk with their dogs and explore the area.” Mrs Proctor said the consultation at the Springdale Neighbourhood Centre received a
good turnout and had close to 50 people from all age groups around the Bellarine. “I think we were quite staggered with the response, and it definitely shows we’re on the right lines,” she said. “One person from Drysdale had been knocked off by his car three days ago. “That’s because we haven’t got enough safe places to separate cyclists from the road.” Mrs Proctor said the map would help bring more tourism to the Bellarine region and make it easier for people to get around. Mrs Proctor said the map aimed to increase a network of safer cycling routes and open the area to active travel opportunities. “The next stage is collating all that feedback, then we’re going back to the map producers, and then we’ll do a launch,“ she said.

By Cr Trent Sullivan It always surprises people when they learn the City of Greater Geelong is responsible for more than 130 services to the local community. There’s many services that residents believe other levels of government or private enterprise provide; and there’s those that they either can’t see, or don’t consider unless there’s an issue. Managing the municipality’s stormwater services can fall into all three of the above categories. Victorian councils are responsible for funding stormwater infrastructure in regional areas, with our metropolitan counterparts getting much-needed support from Melbourne Water. The scale and reach of this infrastructure across Greater Geelong is massive. There are more than 2000 kilometres of pipe, and 72,000 pits. If the region’s network of pipes, open drains, wetlands, levees, and other assets were laid end-on-end, it would end somewhere around Alice Springs. Maintaining and improving the network is costly, especially in this period of high inflation, so we are always seeking funding opportunities for our renewal and upgrade projects. The infrastructure is of varying capacity and condition, and is coming under pressure as our climate changes and more residents call Geelong home. Considering all of this, council has a 10-year Stormwater Services Strategy that focuses on lifting the standard and consistency of stormwater management across the region.
Cr Tent Sullivan. (Supplied)
The strategy has a range of principles to support our built and natural environment. It aims to improve the long-term management of floods, protect the environment from stormwater pollution, and increase the reuse of stormwater. The latter aim would reduce the demand on using drinking water to keep our parks and gardens green. Effectively, we want to create a management system that can better handle heavy rainfall events, through infrastructure upgrades and improved processes. We would then direct the stormwater – which should be treated as a resource, and not a hazard – to enhance our urban landscapes and improve the health of our waterways. To assist in implementing progress at a local level, the strategy divides the municipality into 25 catchment areas.
City officers have been undertaking a range of studies on the catchment areas of the highest priority. Several stormwater studies have been completed, with more underway in locations such as Cowies Creek, Ocean Grove and Rippleside. These studies help us to better understand flood risk, which mean we can better prepare the community for large storm events. They also place the local communities at the centre of the forward planning. Residents can help us determine the priorities and preferred management options for each area. You can visit https://yoursay. geelongaustralia.com.au/stormwater to have a look at the projects, see if you can contribute to the discussion, and track how the 10-year strategy is rolling out across Greater Geelong.

“I deal with some of the difficulties even back then for touring tennis players being away from their families and cover a lot of politics of the time.” Carroll said the play was open to everyone and that viewers did not need to be tennis experts to watch the performance. “The character of John Newcombe is very magnetic and charismatic, and there are lots of touches of comedy,” he said. “You don’t necessarily have to know anything, but hopefully you come away with a big picture of what that world was like in the 60s and 70s.” Newk, the John Newcombe story, will be showcased at the Potato Shed this Friday, March 17, from 8pm.

Outside comfort zone One would imagine Kevin Mitchell, lead singer and rhythm guitarist of alternative rock band Jebediah and solo performer under the name Bob Evans, to be largely immune to nerves before a show. But when he was asked to join the cast of the 27 Club, which pays homage to the music and lives of the likes of Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix, Mitchell said it was definitely outside his comfort zone. “It’s stuff that I never would have been pushed to do, ordinarily, and at first glance, that can be a little bit intimidating and scary,” Mitchell said. “It’s really different from my usual environment, which is Wednesday night down at the pub in Albury or with Jebediah doing a 90s-themed festival. This is just completely different. “It sits somewhere between being a rock show and a theatre show, and at first, that idea kind of made me nervous. But now I realise the fact it sits in between those two things is what I love the most about it. “It gives me an opportunity to do something really, really different. But I think I’ve got to a stage in my life where I’ve realised the value in leaning into things that are a bit scary or take you out of your comfort zone.” After performing in the show for three years at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, Mitchell has taken nothing but positives away from the experience so far. “I get to do something very unique and different with people who I maybe never would have met if I hadn’t been invited into this,” he said. “I’ve known Sarah McLeod (Superjesus) for a very long time, but everybody else are all Adelaide locals and they’re brilliant. “Carla Lippis is an absolutely jaw-droppingly good, world-class singer. And Dusty Lee Stevenson, who’s musical director, is just an incredible guitar player.

A biographical drama with touches of comedy about a tennis superstar will take to Geelong’s Potato Shed this Friday. Newk is the story of tennis legend John Newcombe that takes place in different stages of his life and is written by playwright Kieran Carroll. “John Newcombe, who was a great Australian tennis champion of the 1960s and 70s, won seven Grand Slam titles, and he was number one in the world,” Carroll said. “The play traces his life from his early days in Sydney through a career in sort of two phases because, in the 1960s, tennis was amateur, and the players didn’t earn any money. “By the time we get to the 70s, things have changed a lot. Everything’s gone into full-blown colour, and he has a career from some of the early 60s until about the mid-70s. “The play is actually set in 2014 and it’s his 70th birthday and it’s a barbeque at his Sydney home.” Carroll said he wanted to write a play based on his passion for the sport and looked forward to delving into the history of Newcombe. “There was one side of me thinking, a play about the history of Australian tennis and about the national sporting icon would seem like something that hadn’t been done before,” he said. “I already had a fairly strong working knowledge of Australian tennis history and feel passionate about it. “It was partly putting some of my childhood and teenage love for the game into writing.

“So I get to watch these guys from on stage, and they’re people I’ve grown to really love and have a huge amount of respect for.” Mitchell said the show was a celebration of iconic, era-defining artists who were lost too soon. “The premise is quite dark, you know, all of these artists died at 27, which is tragically young,” he said. “But they all contributed to the culture of their eras in such a massive way. The show ends up being a joyous celebration, both on stage and hopefully for the audience as well.” The 27 Club is at Costa Hall, Thursday, March 23.

FRIDAY FEATURE GEELONGINDY.COM.AU
The calm after the storm Geelong rocker Michael Stangel has lived an extraordinary life so far, travelling the world playing music, going deep on The Voice in 2013, and surviving a terminal diagnosis. He spoke to Matt Hewson about what he’s learned along the way.
M
ichael Stangel has countless stories from his time in the music industry; playing late night shows in Hollywood, rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous, the rise and fall of the production company he was a big part of. “A friend of mine said to me, look, if I believe everything you say, you must be 800 years old,” Michael said. “And that was before going on The Voice or any of that. There are so many stories.” But the story that has dominated Michael’s life for the past decade has been the terminal diagnosis he received in 2012 and the impact that could have on his family. “I’ve been so thankful for everything that’s happened, and having that experience I treat it as a real honour to be able to get through; to think I’m going to die, and not die,” he said. Michael was born in Geelong and, after spending some of his early years in Lakes Entrance, attended Belmont High School. As the end of his schooling approached, Michael knew what he wanted to do. “It had always been music; I started playing professionally at the age of 14 in bands and music was really the only thing I had any passion to pursue,” he said. “My parents were not enthusiastic about that, being Greek, but I had an entrepreneurial flair, so I bought the PA at a young age and tried to make money out of it. “I worked in the family business, which was a second-hand scrapyard dealer, and on a boat when dad was a fisherman, but other than that I played in a wedding band from age 14. And we were making good money.” Michael took every opportunity he could

in the music business, spending time living in Spain recording music (“Like most things it didn’t really eventuate and I came back with my tail between my legs, but it was a great
experience”) and gigging filming a TV show in Hollywood (“We had this crazy manager and got right into the scene”). But all that changed in September of 2012,
just months after meeting his wife, Jodie. “We were only together for about three or four months and I started to get a bit sick,” Michael said.

“We were in Sydney at a UFC event and I remember being really puffed out and thinking something was wrong. “Then I had an echocardiogram of my heart and I found out I had a five-and-a-half centimetre tumour in the left ventricle of my heart.” After a successful emergency surgery, the relatively rare myxoma tumour was removed, and Michael was told he was in the clear. “It was a benign tumour, so it grows, but there’s no metastasis around the body,” he said. “But after recovering from open-heart surgery, probably three or four months later I wasn’t able to pick things up or focus on anything. And I had the worst headaches you could imagine. “I ended up going to emergency, they did a scan and found that there were seven tumours lodged in my brain.” While cardiac myxoma is the most common benign cardiac tumour, brain metastases are extremely rare. “I think four or five times in written history there’s been a shower, where the tumour fragments end up in the brain,” Michael said. “They said, ‘I’m really sorry, this is not good. It’s very advanced so get your affairs in order, and if you make Christmas, that’ll be great.’” For Jodie, who had been widowed once before, and Michael’s children, the news was devastating. “I was devastated too, but not so much for me, but for them,” he said. “I had young kids, the youngest was two-and-a-half, the oldest was about 10. “We just didn’t know what to do in that moment.”
‘‘
The terminal diagnosis was the impetus for me thinking, okay, it’s not about becoming a rock star anymore. It’s about focusing on the things that are really important, and that’s my family
’’
- Michael Stangel
Michael decided to concentrate on the only thing he had any control over: his attitude. “I’ve always been a pragmatic person and my heritage is Greek, so I’ve always been a fan of philosophy and the ancient Greek philosophers,” Michael said. “I didn’t follow it too much, but some of the things that I’d read before really applied to me; things like being a good man, not just saying you’re going to be a good man. The Eckhart Tolle thing, the power of now, that became really apparent to me. “The terminal diagnosis was the impetus for me thinking, okay, it’s not about becoming a rock star anymore. It’s about focusing on the things that are really important, and that’s my family.”
However, after four tumours had been removed from Michael’s brain, he was told a fifth needed taking out but the surgery came with significant risk. “It was in a place that was really, really dangerous, and they told me the chances of losing the use of the right side of my body were more than half,” Michael said. “I decided, it’s about quality of life and I don’t want to end up like that, so I chose not to have the operation. “And probably about two months after that, for some reason my tumours just stopped growing.” Michael’s doctors told him the longer the tumours didn’t grow any more, the better the chances they wouldn’t grow at all.
FRIDAY FEATURE
He had survived, although not without cost; Michael suffered epilepsy, seizures and PTSD after the surgeries. But the attitude shift Michael had experienced also endured. “I determined that I’d just concentrate on what’s happening in the here and now; plan for the future, but live your life out,” he said. “Three months at a time, that was a catchphrase, because I’d been told I had three months to live. “I’ll be honest, before that I had a bit of a temper. But it just became so silly and childish to me, to worry about all these meaningless things. The only meaningful thing is the relationships you build and how you fuel those relationships. “My dream growing up was to be really famous, really rich. But I’ve learned to enjoy what I have and appreciate it.” Michael and Jodie featured on a recent GMHBA ad, with Michael in his boxer shorts and Jodie in a nightdress, which he said reflected his newfound approach to life. “Like, we’re on one of those big billboards on the Westgate Bridge, and my nipples are three feet high,” he said. “But it’s cool, life is fun. Don’t take it too seriously.” Michael has returned to a life of performing, playing a lot in the Geelong area, and has also taken on the role of chair of the Geelong Waterfront Film Foundation. “Like I say to my son – he’s always trying to work out the meaning of life – the meaning of life is to get up, go to work, and don’t be a d******d,” he said. “Then life tends to be a bit easier. I’ve learned to be comfortable with the process of life and to live it, enjoy it and just be okay.”

FEATURING ... HEALTHY LIVING Foot and leg pain can often go misdiagnosed. (Supplied)
Foot, heel or arch pain? Foot, heel and arch pain are extremely common yet there is much misinformation about these conditions often leading to misdiagnosis and resulting in incorrect or inappropriate treatment. The Geelong Independent spoke to Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s most experienced foot, knee and leg pain experts, to gain some insight. Dr David Kavanagh who heads up the clinic in Geelong West explained, “All foot and leg pain needs to be diagnosed and managed correctly by determining the contributing factors, not by simply addressing the symptoms”. “Even your local GP, orthotist or general podiatrist may not be the best practitioner to diagnose and treat foot and leg pain and injury, as their scope of practice tends to be more generalised and not specific to lower limb musculoskeletal medicine. It’s really important to seek advice from an expert in this field for best results in healing foot and leg pain and injury.” With 25 years experience, the experts at Foot and Leg Pain Clinics have found Plantar Fasciitis to be one of the most common misdiagnosed foot, heel and arch
complaints. This is often due diagnostic scans being misinterpreted and tissue thickening being seen as inflammation. In such cases anti-inflammatory treatments and cortisone are often incorrectly prescribed, which can result in worsening this condition. “Most foot and heel pain occurs when the plantar fascia (connective tissues running along the bottom of the foot) becomes overloaded, resulting in degeneration of the tissues and/or irritation of the nerves. These conditions are not inflammatory in nature, so should not be treated as such and this is where misdiagnosis often initiates. Most foot, heel and arch pain is a result of faulty foot function or lower limb biomechanics and environmental factors, and that is what needs to be treated – not inflammation, Dr Kavanagh said. “Degenerative and inflammatory conditions require very different treatment, so they must be diagnosed and treated correctly to achieve long-term healing. If you have any foot or heel pain you can see Dr Kavanagh at Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Geelong West by calling 1300 328 300.

Hike on for mental health A Geelong local is helping raise mental health awareness by competing in a hike to support fellow charity organisations. The Great Aussie Hike is a 30, 43, 57, or 100-kilometre course across Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula on March 24 and 25 for registered teams to raise money for beneficiary Lifeline Australia. The Power in You Project mental health co-ordinator Meike Maarsezeen said she felt excited and nervous about participating in the Great Aussie Hike and chose to join after a family loss. “Last year I lost a family member and one way for me to deal with it, I started walking and I needed to set a goal for myself to keep working on my mental health,” she said. “I’ll be doing it with six other staff members. I’ve got them joining me on the walk and we have all been training with each other.” Ms Maarsezeen said this was the first time she would be doing the hike, and would be participating with co-workers Matt Ludbrook,
Michael Graham, Bashia Speed, Georgina Coutts and Emily Richardson. “You might have a bad day, but the next day can be that one per cent better that the day before,” she said. “It’s just an easy way to have that conversation with each other and knowing that you’re not alone and makes it as a group challenge and everyone involved in it at work.” Ms Maarsezeen said her dad was also flying from Holland to see her complete the hike. Program director Anna Brown said the event helped people support each other through a fun challenge. “It doesn’t matter what distance you do or how your team gets to the finish line. It’s all about mates supporting each other in a fun, positive environment,” she said. Lifeline can provide 24-7 over-the-phone support at 13 11 14, through text at 0477 131 114, or online at www.lifeline.org.au. Jena Carr

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK IN OUR BLOOD ABC TV, Sunday, 8.30pm
The poignant music of the ’80s is the entrancing extra character in this musical drama based on the play by Adriano Cappelletta. Starring Matt Day (Rake), Tim Draxl (A Place to Call Home), and Jada Alberts (Mystery Road), it’s a moving and at times surreal four-part drama exploring a pivotal moment in Australia’s history when the AIDS crisis hit. Embracing hope and the power of the individual, it chronicles how this country became a world leader in AIDS prevention. Tonight’s engrossing premiere kicks off on election night, 1983: in a crucial turn of events, for gay man David (Draxl) it means a new job as the senior adviser to the Health Minister.
GETAWAY Nine, Saturday, 5.30pm
Former MasterChef contestant turned TV foodie marvel Poh Ling Yeow (pictured) returns to the Getaway fold for a new sightseeing excursion fresh from her French river cruise jaunt. The home-taught cook is a dab hand at teaching anyone how to whip up delicious fare, but it’s Poh’s inspiring zest for life and fun-loving personality that make her the perfect travel presenter. Tonight, she rugs up to explore a magical, wintery Budapest. On the other side of the world, David Whitehill pulls on the togs for an epic day at Jamberoo Action Park, NSW’s biggest water park, and Matty Mills visits WA’s World Heritage-listed Shark Bay. It’s an exciting weekend escape – from the comfort of the couch.
CHEF ANTONIO’S RECIPES FOR REVOLUTION SBS, Monday, 9.25pm
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? UK SBS, Tuesday, 7.30pm
Cooking shows are traditionally catnip for hungry people who are at a loose end about what to serve their ravenous and demanding clan each night. This new feature-length documentary, starring Antonio de Benedetto (pictured), is something else: food for the soul. From Australian filmmaker Trevor Graham (Make Hummus Not War), it follows the Italian chef and his restaurant and hotel, which is staffed by young men and women living with Down syndrome who come from across Italy to train and work in hospitality. Spiced with humour, the delicious food, gorgeous scenery and fascinating characters give rise to a delectably sweet, inspiring story.
When a series has confidently pedalled through a whopping 18 seasons like this one has, it’s something of a cultural phenomenon. The older generations are traditionally WDYTYA’s biggest fans, but this season there’s perhaps a shift to nab a younger audience – a new generation of ancestry buffs. A younger cast of participants, including comedian Joe Lycett and soccer player Alex Scott, have traced their family tree and the trend continues tonight with Pixie Lott (pictured). The singer-songwriter is keen to confirm the family story that she has Italian ancestry from Verona, but instead she discovers ancestors battling poverty and hardship in London.
Eye of the storm: Tim Draxl leads the cast of In Our Blood as David.

Subaru Outback XT looks the part By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Japanese vehicle maker Subaru has been at the forefront of all-wheel-drive vehicles for many decades. Indeed, it produced nothing other than all-wheel-drives for many years. The only Subaru that isn’t driven by all four wheels is the BRZ sportscar, which was a joint venture between Subaru and Toyota, with the latter being a called the Toyota 86. Five variants are offered: Outback, Sport, Touring, Sport XT and Touring XT. The first three are powered by the traditional 2.5-litre engine, the XT models get a new 2.4-litre turbocharged unit. Our test vehicle for the past week was the top-spec Subaru Outback XT Touring which is very much a ‘proper’ 4WD as, with a ground clearance of 213mm, it can be taken off road and handle some pretty tough terrain. Towing capacity is 2400 kg, 2000 kg in the non-turbo models. Unfortunately, time restraints meant that we were unable to test the Outback off-road, hopefully we can do that in a further test - stay tuned.
Styling Outback is a good-looking vehicle that’s definitely in the 4WD class in its appearance. It has a large front grille above the ‘bumper’ area and honeycomb shapes below it. The bonnet has a neat slope that blends nicely into the windscreen. The roof rises for the first part then takes a gentle shape that blends neatly into the rear window. Its shape gained a nod of approval from all that viewed it during our test period. They commented that it looked like a 4WD that meant business.
A new USB-C port joins the existing USB-A in the front console and there are also two USB-A charge ports in the rear.
Safety Subaru’s EyeSight system includes adaptive cruise control, emergency lane-keep assist, lane centring function, lane departure prevention, lane departure warning, lane sway warning, pre-collision brake assist, pre-collision throttle management, autonomous emergency steering and brake light recognition. Should you still have a crash it has no fewer than eight SRS airbags to cushion your body and head from all the hard stuff in the cabin.
Driving
Outback is a good-looking vehicle that’s definitely in the 4WD class in its appearance. (Supplied)
Interior The interior is neatly styled. The Outback Sport and Outback Sport XT have synthetic leather upholstery that’s further protected by a water-repellent coating. Very handy if you’re going to be spending serious time in off-road driving - as well as when you carry grubby kids to and from school and/or sports events. Boot capacity is a useful 522 litres with the rear seatbacks in place, expandable to 1267 litres when they are folded.
Engines / transmissions The 2023 Outback XT Sport and XT Touring have a 2.4-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine. It drives all four wheels through a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
A less powerful 2.5-litre engine is fitted to lower cost models in the Outback range.
Infotainment There is a portrait-shaped 11.6-inch infotainment touchscreen. It’s easy to reach with fast response. There’s wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity standard across the range. The nine-speaker Harman Kardon audio system provided excellent sound reproduction that made life pleasant while we were listing to it. It’s standard in the two Touring variants, other variants have a six-speaker system. The 4.2-inch Multi-Information Display unit (MID) in front of the driver has an LCD screen and displays all the usual monitoring information.
The Subaru Outback XT is easy to drive and feels almost like a large car in the way that it handles twisting mountain roads. It’s certainly not sporty, nor is it intended to be but those who do enjoy their driving will not feel it’s a pain to sit at the wheel. Acceleration is reasonably responsive and it moves away from a standstill without too much hesitation. Fuel consumption is officially listed as 9.0 litres per hundred kilometres. Around town we were using in the 10 to 11 litres per 100km. On the open road and motorways this dropped to seven to eight litres per hundred kilometres.
Summing up Subaru Outback XT is an attractive looking SUV that’s pleasant to live with thanks to decent performance good interior space. It has the no-nonsense attitude that has always characterised the Japanese marque and this will appeal to many. Would we buy one? Yes, if this was the market segment we were working in.

SPORT
Surf Coast rivals to battle it out By Justin Flynn Surf Coast rivals Anglesea and Jan Juc will meet for the fourth consecutive time in this weekend’s Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association A1 Grade final at Winchelsea. Both teams won their way into the decider from the bottom half of the top four with Jan Juc sending an ominous warning that its batting line-up may be peaking at the right time. The Sharks made 8-249 against minor premiers Queenscliff, a total that would prove way too difficult to chase down. Openers Tom Kearney (89 from 191 deliveries) and Iva Priest (46 from 63) put on
96 and from there, the Sharks never looked back with Nick Hyden (79 not out) continuing his impressive form. Slow bowlers Mitch Potter and Lachie Stott each grabbed three wickets for Queenscliff. The Coutas were no match for the Sharks with the bat with Lachie Kidd (44 from 52 balls) making half his team’s runs as left-armers Lachie Ayton and Jordy Graham each snared three wickets to have Queenscliff all out for 88. Anglesea booked yet another final spot, beating Barrabool in a clinical performance. Barrabool was all out for 116 batting first with James Jirik playing well for his 45, but it was Seas’ skipper Dylan Taylor, who took
4-16 with his left-arm pace that was nicely complimented by the leg-spin of Joe Lynch, who snared 4-37 from 15 overs. Anglesea chased the target down with six wickets to spare thanks to an important 49 from 115 balls by keeper Tyron Norman. In A2 Grade, Barwon Heads meets Drysdale at Collendina to battle it out for promotion to next season’s A1 Grade competition. Both sides put in clinical performances for different reasons. Barwon Heads dominated with the bat, making 3-314 with Brent McMinn and Jason Mallett sharing a 191-run opening stand. McMinn made a delightful 122 from 173 balls and Mallett got 71 from 183 while
Darcy Hewitt scored 37 and Charlie Hurst remained not out on 36 with Ben Harris still there on 35. Matt Sampson-Barnes tried valiantly to get Wallington over the line with a superb 106 and Sven Burluraux made 37, but the huge total was just too much with Sam Schaller coming to the rescue for Barwon Heads with 5-55 from 24 overs to have the Wallabies all out for 200. Drysdale bowled itself into the decider by routing Winchelsea for 85 with Blake Dobbin and Ben Spencer each grabbing three wickets. The Hawks ended the contest a day early, making the runs five wickets down with skipper Nick Hallam continuing his thirst for runs with 39.

Barwon goes to the Pat Cash Cup LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers Recently a squad of the region’s best juniors travelled to Horsham to compete in the annual Pat Cash Cup, a regional teams event encompassing both metro and country associations across four different age brackets. The event consisted of six sets in each age group – two boys singles, two girls singles and two mixed doubles for 12 and under, 14 and under, 1 and under and 18 and under. The initial format was first to six game sets, but these were reduced to four games when the venue was hit with rain, resulting in a five-and-a-half hour delay. With 13 regions competing, teams were split into three pools, with Barwon drawn in pool C. The team started well in their first match against PTA/MPR Blue with Lachie Rae and Emily Carr winning their completed singles in 12 and under and in nine of the incomplete
singles matches Barwon were ahead. After the rain, Barwon continued as they started, winning five of the eight mixed matches. The second match on Saturday for Barwon didn’t go as well as the team would have liked, with Waverley taking a convincing win 22 sets to two. Hazel Kadera (14 and under singles) and Gus Maibaum and Jess Lee (16 and under mixed) were the winners of the two sets. Unfortunately things didn’t improve for the team when they faced North Suburban Junior TA in the third round. Tano-Li Quach and Georgia Carr (16 and under mixed) and Lily Duff (18 and under singles) managed to win their sets, but NSJTA showed good form taking the balance of the match. In the final pool match against Goulburn, Barwon improved their fortunes, particularly in the boys singles with Lachie Rae and Zane Ryan (12 and under), Oliver White (14 and under), Gus Maibaum (16 and under)
and Rhys McNabb winning their matches. Lily Duff (18 and under) also won both her matches, teaming with Jack Remilton in the mixed, but the team went down 17 sets to seven. The team finished ninth overall after the pool rounds, and after a close win over Wimmera in the play-off, that was the team’s final placement. It was a good team effort in the 13-11 victory, with almost every player winning a set. The overall winners were Bayside TA, followed by Eastern Region TA and Waverley TA. Most of the team was part of the January Interregional Country Championships, and were happy to be playing with these team mates again. Comments were made through the weekend about the encouragement and teamwork from team mates and supporters, playing mini tennis after matches were finished, playing with different mixed partners and against tough opponents.
Spectators will be able to enjoy extreme boat racing at speeds up to 240km/h on the Inner Harbour of Corio Bay this weekend as the Superboats come to Geelong. The second round of the 2023 Offshore Superboat Championship, running from Saturday, March 18 to Sunday, March 19, will feature Offshore Championship races as well Sport 65 and 85 events. The weekend of racing will conclude on Sunday with a presentation ceremony at Steampacket Gardens at 2.30pm. Australian Power Boat Association Offshore Council, race director for the championships and driver of the race control truck Russell Embleton said he was looking forward to the Geelong round of the championships. “The Wyndham Harbour races a few weeks ago did a great job of unearthing some first round gremlins on a number of the Superboats,” Embleton said. “With ample time between rounds one and two to iron those gremlins out, I’m expecting the calmer, faster waters of Corio Bay in Geelong to really offer up some great Superboat racing. “With increased numbers at Geelong, spirited and close racing is guaranteed, Geelong’s natural amphitheatre is going to host some memorable racing this weekend!” AMT Racing throttleman Paul Fowlds said he and teammate Andy Taylor were looking for a better result after round one’s disappointing performance. “Whilst the team was bitterly disappointed with the round at Wyndham Harbour, we really look forward to the Geelong round, which is undeniably one of the favourites on the circuit,” Fowlds said. “Our main goal is to get some points back on The Sting. Their boat is running fantastically well, and will be hard to beat. “It will also be a tough contest with both TCR, and Saracen, who will be just as motivated as we are to get a complete weekend’s racing in.” Racing commences at 1pm Saturday.

North Geelong in for the big one By Matt Hewson Tom Mathieson turned in a captain’s performance with the ball to lead North Geelong to a six-wicket victory against East Belmont at home and book his side a place in the Geelong Cricket Association grand final. Mathieson, who took 4-23 and bowled four maidens in his 10 overs, claimed the key wicket of Josh Lacey (34) in the 34th over to put East Belmont at 4-105 and prevent the visitors building further scoring momentum. East Belmont saw out the 50 overs, setting a middling target of 9-148 as Mathieson
dismissed Dylan McMahon (7) on the last ball of the innings. The rest of the wickets were shared evenly by North Geelong’s five other bowlers, with not a weak performer among them. Sam Hall was the linchpin for the North Geelong batting order, with the opener surviving till the 35th over before being caught behind off the bowling of Jack Jenkins after hitting 64 runs from 104 balls. Hall’s dismissal at 4-140 left North Geelong within single digits of the visitors’ total, and two overs later Andrew Ferguson (11) hit a boundary to send his side to the grand final and East Belmont to the preliminary.
Grovedale had a similarly emphatic win against Newtown & Chilwell in the knockout semi-final. After winning the toss and electing to bat, Grovedale smashed 6-293 and comfortably defended that total, bowling out the Two Blues for 210. Jordan Moran was the star for the Tigers, belting 123 runs in 124 balls and building a 196-run partnership with Michael McNeel (79), who came in at second drop. By the time Moran was dismissed, caught behind in the first over of Dylan Hodge’s (1-35) second spell, Grovedale had scored 4-242 with 6.1 overs remaining.
With wickets in hand Grovedale’s middle order batted with abandon, adding 50 runs in the final six overs. The scoreboard pressure proved to be too much for Newtown & Chilwell, who nevertheless stayed in touch for most of the innings, making 4-134 from the first 33 overs. But after Jack Wrigglesworth (3-44) claimed George Rhodes’ (48) wicket an over later the wickets began to fall regularly, the Two Blues bowled out in the 45th over 83 runs short. Grovedale will travel to the Winter Reserve to face East Belmont in the preliminary final this Saturday, March 18.

Highton has won through to the Geelong Bowls Region Premier Division grand final after a thrilling one-shot preliminary final victory over Eastern Park. While Eastern Park managed to claim one rink decisively, Highton won the other two matchups to prevail 50 shots to 49 at Belmont Bowls Club. Eastern Park’s Vince Chapman skipped his team to a seven-shot win to defeat David Priddle 20-13, giving his side every chance to advance to the ultimate match of the season this Sunday, March 19. But Highton’s Scott McLachlan and Dan Priddle won their rinks by five and three shots respectively to put last year’s runners-up one shot ahead and into the grand final. The result will see a repeat of last year’s grand final clash between Highton and reigning premiers Ocean Grove when the two clubs meet again at Drysdale this weekend. For the last two home and away seasons, Ocean Grove and Highton have topped the Premier Division table, each winning 15 of their 18 matches in 2021-22 and 2022-23. Last season Ocean Grove beat Highton to the top spot by just three shots, while this season the Grovers finished six shots ahead. Highton hoped to have its Division 1 team competing in the competition’s grand final this weekend as well, but Torquay were too good for Highton 2 in the Division 1 preliminary final. Torquay won three of their four rinks to defeat Highton by 25 shots, 95-70. Torquay skips Daryl Kitchin (30-13) and Gary Banks (27-12) claimed runaway victories, while Brett Irvine recorded a six-shot win over Highton’s Brad Ott and Peter Monk had a good 30-17 win for the losing side. Torquay, who finished the regular season in the fourth finals spot, will face second-placed St Leonards in the Division 1 grand final, also at Drysdale this weekend. Matt Hewson
