Sculpture to celebrate all A sculpture celebrating artists of all abilities has taken pride of place at Geelong waterfront.

Christian Den Besten and Robert Croft walked to the ‘I AM’ sculpture on Monday to check out their handiwork as two of 85 contributors to the project.

The sculpture fascinated other locals out for daily exercise, according to Christian’s art mentor Sharon Bromley.

“I said, ‘this is one of the artists’,” she told the Independent.

“They were really interested in his story and blown away by the collaboration that went into the project.

“As we were walking away, I could hear them explaining to other people what it’s about and saying, ‘that’s one of the artists over there – that’s Christian’.”

“They’re validated and taken seriously as artists, and that’s really important.”

‘I AM’ is the work of Inverleigh sculptor Mark Cuthbertson and features text-based contributions from artists with disabilities from across the region.

The sculpture will remain at Geelong waterfront until February.

Geelong’s last lockdown?

Community and business leaders have urged state government to make Geelong a testing ground for measures to ensure the city’s latest lockdown, ending today, is its last.

Acting Geelong mayor Trent Sullivan threw his support behind trialling policies such as vaccine passports locally.

“We support exploring any option that could further lift lockdowns,” Cr Sullivan said.

The percentage of fully-vaccinated people in greater Geelong increased from 41.4 to 46.6 from August 27 to September 5.

Based on that increase, the municipality

could reach the federal government’s threshold of 70 per cent for a limited reopening by October 9.

The Geelong region as a whole could reach that target sooner, due to high vaccination rates in the Surf Coast and Queenscliff.

“We’ve got great faith in what our residents are doing and everyone is putting their hand up to get vaccinated,” Cr Sullivan said.

“If we keep going on the path we are on right now … we should be in the clear.”

He also backed more targeted restrictions, rather than locking down Geelong or regional Victoria for “one or two cases” – a sentiment echoed by Committee for

Geelong chief executive Jennifer Cromarty.

“More nuanced and targeted lockdowns are absolutely the way forward,” she said.

The committee was in talks with state government this week on plans to run a trial in-person event for its 20th anniversary on November 15, Ms Cromarty revealed.

“Partly because we think we could run that event safely and partly because of our vaccination rates,” she said.

Geelong Chamber of Commerce chief executive Ben Flynn and his Tourism Greater Geelong and Bellarine counterpart, Brett Ince, also encouraged trial measures.

“We would welcome any pilot in Geelong

that allows us to open up and learn,” Mr Flynn said.

“It would be amazing if it’s our last lockdown.

So many businesses are still significantly impacted, to the point where it’s not worth opening.”

The community and business leaders led an online forum yesterday afternoon with local businesspeople and state government representatives after the Independent went to press.

“We’ll hear first-hand from a number of businesses about the impact of COVID-19 but also the path to the other side,” Mr Ince said prior to the meeting.

Councillor’s tilt at Corangamite EXCLUSIVE

By Luke Voogt Another local councillor has declared for Corangamite after Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher in July made a long-anticipated announcement that she would contest the federal seat.

Surf Coast Shire councillor Paul Barker this week revealed he would stand for the Liberal Democrats in Corangamite at the next federal election.

“I have been motivated to take this stand based on support and encouragement from many in our community,” he told the Independent. “People are tired of harsh authoritarian measures that achieve nothing.

“We used to be a nation that was one and free, now we’re segregated and imprisoned with no end in sight.”

The Torquay ward councillor will run on his party’s policy of ending all COVID-19 restrictions on December 4 or ‘freedom day’.

“That allows those who want to get a vaccine to get one so we can protect the vulnerable and return to the old normal,” he said.

Victoria is on track to reach 70 per cent of people fully vaccinated by November 1 and 80 per cent by November 19, according to federal data.

The first threshold would mean lockdowns are less likely, with lockdowns almost completely eliminated at 80 per cent.

Mr Barker’s vote preferences could be vital in the ultra-marginal electorate, which Labor’s

Libby Coker took from previous MP Sarah Henderson by a 1.04 per cent margin after preferences.

But Mr Barker believed he could challenge Ms Coker and Liberal candidate Ms Asher.

“We live in some seriously restricted times,” he said. “If people want that, they can keep voting for Labor or Liberal. Now is the time to vote for freedom.”

Mr Barker strongly opposed vaccine passports, saying vaccination should not be part of public policy on restrictions.

But he defended the right of private venue owners and event-holders to refuse entry to unvaccinated patrons.

He declined to say if he had been vaccinated.

“That’s a private medical issue that’s a topic for myself and my doctor,” he said.

Save our bike jumps, teens implore A group of Ocean Grove teenagers is pleading with the City of Greater Geelong to leave its temporary bike jumps alone until a permanent facility is built.

The temporary jumps, located just off Begola Wetlands, draw about a dozen local teens each day.

The Voice understands the city is currently in the process of reviewing several makeshift bike jumps and tracks in the region, which includes the self-made jumps located at the wetlands.

Jem, 14, helped build the jumps with mates Griffin, Finn and Will.

Jem fears the temporary jumps will be dismantled, leaving young mountain bike enthusiasts without an avenue to pursue their hobby.

“We would like the council to not destroy the jumps until they build an actual bike park for us for all ages and abilities and actually build a track like they have been planning for a while,” Jem said.

“We think a good spot is near Blue Waters Lake because there is so much open space that is not being used or in Woodlands because there is already plenty of dirt there.

“In lockdown, for me personally, bike riding has been a way of getting exercise and getting out of the house and I’m sure it’s the same as many other kids.

“We want to help the council design a track for all ages and abilities. We also have an online petition with 300 signatures (chng.it/gKhCcP7hbV).”

City of Greater Geelong deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said council had allocated $100,000 in the 2021-22 budget for a new bike track in Ocean Grove and is proposing a designated bike discovery area in Barwon Heads through the Barwon Heads Village Park Masterplan.

“Exercising and hanging out with friends is vital for our wellbeing – and we know this is particularly important during COVID-19,” he said.

“We continue to encourage young people to embrace outdoor sports such as BMX and mountain bike riding and to seek out safe,

fit-for-purpose tracks and trails to pursue this interest.

“We understand there is interest from the community to create additional facilities for mountain bike and BMX riders in the region, particularly for more advanced users and those living on the Bellarine.

“As part of our new 2021-25 Our Community Plan, we’ve committed to providing more facilities that foster positive health and

wellbeing and we are working to identify new opportunities for young people to enjoy this sport and outdoor activities more broadly.

“The design of the new bike park in Ocean Grove is set to commence shortly. We will be engaging local young riders in the design process to ensure they are involved in shaping this bike track.”

Six local COVID cases remain Six active COVID-19 cases remained in Geelong yesterday afternoon after authorities moved four cases from a household in Thompson into hotel quarantine in Melbourne.

The figure includes one case added to the city’s tally on Wednesday from Ocean Grove.

“The case was acquired at a Melbourne construction site,” Barwon Health said in a statement. “There are no new local exposure sites related to this case.”

A Lara man in his 20s was discharged from hospital on Wednesday afternoon after being admitted the previous week due to COVID-19.

Barwon Health had not identified any other cases in Geelong as the Independent went to press yesterday.

The figures come as Victoria recorded 324 new locally-acquired cases on Wednesday, of which 107 have been linked to known cases and outbreaks.

The figure brought the state’s active cases to 2166 as of Wednesday. Authorities completed 54,242 tests on Wednesday, with state-run services administering another 37,604 vaccine doses.

Earlier this week Premier Daniel Andrews announced lockdown would end in regional Victoria today.

Under the changes, restaurants, cafes retail, hairdressing, entertainment venues and community facilities can reopen in line with density limits and patron caps. Businesses must check the IDs of all costumers to prevent COVID-19 spreading from Melbourne to regional Victoria.

Offices can return to up to 25 per cent capacity or 10 people, whichever is greater.

Queenscliff coming first in race to vaccinate the nation Queenscliff has become the first local government area in Australia to reach federal government’s initial COVID-19 vaccination target of 70 per cent.

As of Sunday, 71.8 per cent of people over 15 were fully-vaccinated in the Borough of Queenscliffe, the only municipality to have reached the target at that time.

The 70 per cent target is the threshold in the Commonwealth’s ‘phase B’ for reopening Australia.

Under phase B, lockdowns would be less likely but still possible, with hospitalisation figures rather than case numbers being the main determining factor for restrictions.

Queenscliff, which has a median age of 59, also leads the nation in first doses on 91.8 per cent. Barwon South West public health unit director Eugene Athan described the results as “impressive”.

“Queenscliff has an older population than most communities, which means many residents have been eligible for vaccination longer than younger communities,” Professor Athan said.

“While this is likely to have influenced the vaccination rate, Queenscliff residents have also shown a commitment to protecting their community against COVID-19.”

The Surf Coast Shire jumped from third

to second in Victoria’s vaccine race as of Sunday, with 56 per cent of its eligible residents fully-vaccinated.

The shire, which has a median age of 42, remained in second place in Victoria for first doses on 79.6 per cent.

The Surf Coast was 22nd in Australia for first doses and eighth for fully-vaccinated residents out of about 400 local government areas for which data was available.

Greater Geelong, which has a median age of 40, was 102nd in Australia for first doses on 70.3 per cent and 65th for fully-vaccinated residents on 46.6 per cent.

The Geelong statistical area level 4 (SA4)

including both the Surf Coast and Queenscliff, has the highest percentage of fully-vaccinated residents out of Victoria’s larger regions on 47.7.

The Geelong SA4 is second for first doses on 46.6 per cent.

“Our community should be proud of the latest Commonwealth data released,” Professor Athan said, adding vaccines were 95-98 per cent effective at preventing hospitalisation from COVID-19, and reduced the chance of transmitting the disease from person to person by at least 60 per cent.

Christine Couzens MP STATE MEMBER FOR GEELONG

A million reasons to get vaccinated Getting vaccinated is our pathway to the other side of this pandemic. We all have a part to play in rolling up our sleeves to keep our community safe.

I was glad to play my part last month when I received my second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine at Barwon Health’s old Ford factory site in Norlane.

I can’t thank the healthcare workers enough for their tireless efforts in making the process as quick and easy as possible.

Geelong locals are doing an incredible job of playing their part. As of last Sunday, more than 70 per cent of people over the age of 15 in Greater Geelong have received at least one dose of a vaccine.

It means we’re one of the best performing areas in the state. Every dose brings us a step closer to doing the things we love again.

There’s a million reasons to get vaccinated.

Everyone will have reasons that are personal to them. Maybe yours is to see someone you’ve been separated from, or maybe it’s to support a small business that you love.

Another part of it was getting our kids back to school, and bringing events and tourism back to our city.

If you haven’t had your vaccine yet, there are appointments available.

Supply of Pfizer from the Federal Government is limited, but AstraZeneca is a safe and effective choice.

As our Chief Health Officer makes clear, the best vaccine for you is the one you can get today. We’re encouraging people to discuss their options with their doctor.

If you’ve already had your vaccine, thank you.

Now that you’ve had it, talk about it. Encourage your friends and family to book an appointment as soon as they can.

We’ve signed on to the national plan of 70 and 80 per cent double dose targets for reopening.

We can only achieve those targets if we all work together. Getting to the other side of this is in all our hands – and arms.

Checks allow a fighting chance

By Luke Voogt Brendan McVilly has a fighting chance against melanoma thanks to multiple check-ups of what at first appeared to be mole on his back.

“They’ve told me I’m a lucky one,” the 55-year-old said.

The dairy farmer of 32 years, who moved from the Otways town of Simpson to Ocean Grove in April 2020, visited a local clinic in 2016 after discovering the mole.

The clinic did not initially diagnose the spot as a melanoma, but Brendan went back in January 2017 after “it kept getting worse to the stage where it was bleeding”.

“Two days later the phone call came and they said, ‘we’ve got to get you to Geelong as quick as we can.’ Within 10 days or so they cut it out.”

Skin specialist Dr Rafael Acosta-Rojas then warned him the melanoma would return. “‘It will come back,’ he said, ‘it might be three years or it might five years’.” Brendan remembered. “It came back in four.”

In April 2020, Brendan noticed a lump on his left buttock.

“I only noticed it was there mucking around on the hard floor with the dog, I thought a cow might have kicked me,” he said.

He saw an Ocean Grove clinic on Wednesday, which referred him for an ultrasound that Friday and on a sleepless Thursday night he discovered another lump on his ribs.

The discovery of more lumps on his back, chest and groin led to a biopsy and PET scans, which revealed the melanoma had spread to both lungs, his small bowel and his thigh bone.

Specialists placed him on immunotherapy, a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer.

“I was lucky – everything moved really quick because I was in the system already,” he said.

The initial treatment made him “crook” but shrunk the cancer. He has since been on milder immunotherapy that continues to attack his cancer.

Brendan encouraged locals to get checked for skin abnormalities with melanoma rates in Geelong increasing over the past decade.

Among greater Geelong men, the 2015-2019 average age-standardised incidence rate for melanoma is 40.94 per 100,000, up on 33.78 the previous five years.

Like many of these men, Brendan’s melanoma resulted from his younger years.

“I’m no different to the younger ones then,” he said. “I’d walk around in a singlet or no shirt and I never used to put on sunscreen.”

Women’s rates have also increased in greater Geelong from 27.24 to 31.64, with rates in the region for both sexes higher than the state average.

The data has prompted SunSmart to launch its new ‘Don’t?delay. Save your skin’ campaign, which Brendan is happy to support, as getting checked probably saved his life.

“Everything’s going really well,” he said.

“On the last PET scan there was still a mass on my lung but that is shrinking and the others are more or less gone.

“I had another PET scan yesterday and it will be interesting to see what happens with that next week.”

Wasted chance for local recycler

By Luke Voogt Local recyclers could miss out on new jobs in Victoria’s planned container deposit scheme, according to Geelong operator Mat Dickens.

The Corio Waste Management director on Monday wrote a submission to state government on behalf of seven Victorian recyclers calling for changes to the scheme’s proposed commercial model.

“It really shuts out everybody else from investing in materials recovery,” he said.

“As successful regional Victorian businesses, we are deeply disappointed that we are being

shut out and treated as second-class to big waste companies.”

The Department of Environment Land Water and Planning’s model for the scheme details two options: a network operator for the whole of Victoria or splitting the state into three zones.

These two options would “only benefit major players in the industry” such as Cleanaway, Veolia and Suez at the expense of smaller operators, Mr Dickens explained.

“Our organisation might be able to manage Geelong, Surf Coast, Queenscliff, Golden Plains Shire and perhaps Colac Otway,” he said.

“But the zones they’re talking about establishing, one pretty much covers Geelong to the South Australian border to Mildura. It’s too big.”

Mr Dickens said the planned model would deprive Geelong of opportunities for jobs from the scheme.

He cited NSW’s new container deposit scheme, which Cleanaway operates using reverse vending machines.

“We wouldn’t exclusively use that technology,” he said.

“We’d use a mixture of technology and build a drop-off facility, maybe two, in Geelong.

“They’ve got shareholders that want profit and that’s what they’re focussed on.

“We’ve got a lot of relationships locally, that they don’t have, and we’re accountable to our community.”

A state government spokesperson said the network operator position was open to any metropolitan or regional business that can meet the needs of the scheme.

The spokesperson said the scheme would create hundreds of jobs and opportunities for charity, community and sports groups, businesses, and local government to operate collection points for fundraising

A man faces charges over a house fire that burnt through a single-storey property in Norlane last month.

Geelong Crime Investigation Unit detectives charged 29-year-old Norlane man, Jordan Burojevic, following the fire at a Bellbird Avenue home on August 17.

The detectives alleged Burojevic set the house alight, charging him with arson, reckless conduct endangering serious injury and burglary in relation to the incident.

The charges come after police executed a search warrant at a Bellbird Avenue address on Tuesday, according to police.

Burojevic appeared at Geelong Magistrates Court on Wednesday and was bailed to appear again for a mention on November 12.

Fire crews took about 20 minutes to bring the blaze under control on August 17 after arriving at the property at 11.01am, according to Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV).

“Crews identified the single-storey house fully-involved and began searching the residence for possible persons inside,” the FRV spokesperson said that day.

“The subsequent search found no occupants inside.”

Couple tackles their carbon footprint Hamlyn Heights couple Colin Mockett and Shirley Power are on track to complete the journey to carbon neutrality they began 21 years ago.

“We decided earlier this year we were going to come out of this lockdown with something positive,” Colin told the Independent.

The couple decided to “get off the gas” by replacing – and recycling – the solar roof panels they first installed in 2000.

“We received a government subsidy for the battery, which is the key because you don’t make much money for the electricity that you sell back onto the grid,” Colin said.

“But if you’re able to store the extra energy, you can use it later.”

Increasing their solar capacity from 1.5 kilowatts to 5.5kw allowed them to replace their “worn gas cooker” with an electric stove and their gas fire heater with a reverse-cycle air conditioner. The couple have also bought more energy-efficient appliances over the years, replaced their lights with LEDs and improved the insulation in their 1950s weatherboard house.

“The final part, which happened five weeks ago, was changing our water heating from solar and gas to [fully-solar],” Colin said. “We

Politicians will hear the words of Geelong youths in a new initiative to give young people a voice in federal parliament.

Corio and Corangamite MPs Richard Marles and Libby Coker were among 40 federal MPs who signed up to the inaugural Raise Our Voice in Parliament initiative. They encouraged Geelong locals under 21 to submit a 200-word speech for them to read in parliament in October through the initiative.

“We know that young people have been deeply effected by the COVID-19 pandemic as their education, lives and social connections have been disrupted,” Mr Marles said on Wednesday.

“Yet this pandemic has given us an opportunity to re-imagine a better Australia.

“The Raise Our Voice project puts young people at the centre of our national parliament and is a perfect way to hear the important

ways forward for our country and our future.

I look forward to reading a speech from a local young person who sees a vision for Australia through the lens of their Geelong community.”

Ms Coker stressed the importance of young people having a voice in decision-making.

“It’s time we gave young people a seat at the decision-making table, and allow them to participate in shaping policies that will affect their futures,” she said.

“I know young people in my region care deeply about climate change, mental health and the lack of opportunities for them to secure, permanent, rewarding work. We must not only listen to their concerns, but allow them to be part of the decision-making process.”

MY GEELONG Tennis Geelong president Donna Schoenmaekers, the woman behind the Independent’s weekly tennis column, returns serve to Luke Voogt in this week’s My Geelong.

(Ivan Kemp) 249629_03

Tell us about you…

I grew up in Portland and moved to Geelong to go to Deakin University.

I spent a little bit of time in Melbourne, then moved back to Geelong after Jason and I got married, in 2001.

Jason grew up in Gippsland, and with both of us being from regional areas, Melbourne didn’t suit us.

Living in Geelong allowed us to continue to work in our jobs, while enjoying the more relaxed regional lifestyle.

Jason and I lived in Grovedale for 16 years, and moved to Mount Duneed four years ago with our three children.

After commuting to Melbourne for work for several years, I was able to secure a job closer to home at Geelong refinery in the laboratory.

How did you get involved in tennis?

I have been involved in tennis since I was eight-years-old.

I used to play on the road with my siblings and family friends while our parents played their summer pennants, then progressed into junior tennis, and as a teenager moved into the senior ranks.

Growing up in Portland, we had a great coach in Bruce Elijah, who was a huge factor in the popularity and growth of junior tennis in the town.

I particularly remember the summer school holiday squad, which would run Monday to Thursday and finish with a tournament on Friday, which kids from Warrnambool and Hamilton would also attend.

These were great social events as well as an opportunity to play against different people.

Tennis is a sport for everyone, and it’s one of the few sports where parents can play in the

same team as their kids.

It doesn’t matter how good you are or how old you are, there is always someone at the same level as you.

Growing up, my favourite tennis player was Steffi Graf, and these days I love watching Stan Wawrinka, especially his one-handed backhand, and Ash Barty.

How did you become Tennis Geelong president?

Since 2003 I have been involved with Grovedale Tennis Club, one of the clubs within Tennis Geelong.

Tennis Geelong is an amalgamation of the Churches, Bannockburn, Bellarine and Coast associations, and has been running for over 100 years.

I became involved with Tennis Geelong five years ago, and have been president for four.

I got involved because I saw an opportunity to help with the expansion of opportunities to play, like our new triples competition.

What are your favourite things to do locally?

We love food and wine, so we love visiting the various wineries and eateries across the area.

How are you coping with COVID-19?

I’ve still been able to attend work onsite, so this ability to leave the house for work gives a sense of normality.

I’m happy being a homebody, so personally I’m coping OK. But it would be nice to be able to see people in-person in a social environment again.

What’s something about you that people might not know?

I can juggle.

Geelong set for ‘record’ upgrade

By Luke Voogt The “largest ever” upgrade of Geelong and the Surf Coast’s electricity network has begun in response to the region’s “booming” population growth, according to Powercor.

The energy provider on Tuesday announced it would invest $110 million to build two new zone substations at Gheringhap and Torquay with site preparations beginning this month.

The Torquay substation will supply power to about 20,000 customers in Geelong’s south, taking pressure off the existing Waurn Ponds substation, according to Powercor.

The substation in Gheringhap will provide power for another 10,000 homes and businesses in Geelong’s West, the power provider said.

According to Powercor data, more than 7000 new customers have connected to the network in Geelong and the Surf Coast so far in 2021, the fastest growth in annual connections since at least 2013.

Population forecasts indicate greater Geelong will be home to an extra 124,000 people by 2041, with the Surf Coast’s population to increase by 13,000 by 2036.

“This is about creating extra capacity to cater for the growing population in these areas,”

Dog-free opinions online All community feedback on a dog-free trial at Ocean Grove main beach has now moved solely online, as a result of lockdown.

The trial area is approximately 805 metres in length and stretches from beach access stairs at 13W (Hodgson Street, Ocean Grove) to the stairs at 15W (the western end of the promenade at Ocean Grove Main Beach).

Between the 13W to 15W beach access stairs, dogs can be walked on-lead between May 1 and November 30 this year but are prohibited for the remainder of the year.

The trial extends to 2022 where dogs are prohibited all year round.

This trial is a partnership project between Barwon Coast and the City of Greater Geelong.

Barwon Coast chief executive Gary McPike said the two-year trial is in response to community feedback provided in 2019-2020.

This feedback highlighted the need for an area 8 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 10 September, 2021

of beach to be set aside as dog-free all year round.

“We are keen to ensure access for all types of beach users is available.” Mr McPike said.

“This trial enables us to gather information on community experiences of a dog-free area of beach. It is important that all beach users get the chance to have their say and have their voices heard.

“This trial is about ensuring we get the balance right for Ocean Grove main beach.”

Community members are invited to share their feedback on the first year of the trial by Sunday, September 26.

Powercor head of network planning Andrew Dinning said.

“This work will also support new and existing customers alike to connect more solar, battery storage and electric vehicles.”

Powercor will fit the new substations with rapid earth fault current limiters (REFCL) to minimise the risk of bushfires starting from powerlines.

The limiters act as a safety switch, reducing voltage levels within milliseconds if a tree strikes powerlines or powerlines hit the ground.

REFCL devices at Waurn Ponds, Gheringhap and Torquay will protect 1450 kilometres of

powerlines supplying 60,000 customers across Geelong’s west, south and the Surf Coast.

The devices are part of the third and final stage of the rollout of the technology across the network in response to recommendations from the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission.

Powercor REFCL program manager Andrew Bailey advised some works for the project, which Powercor describes as a ”once-in-ageneration rewiring”, could require traffic changes and temporary outages.

“This is the single largest investment we’ve ever made in one specific region of the Powercor network,” Mr Bailey said.

FRIDAY FEATURE

Rory’s warriors fight brain cancer COVID-19 has proven no obstacle for the Berry family’s efforts to help kids with brain cancer, especially following a huge donation from grandma Lesley. Rory Berry, who was diagnosed with “innumerable” brain and spinal tumours at age four, and mum Gemma speak to Luke Voogt about their journey so far.

Y

oung Hamlyn Heights “warrior” Rory Berry, 7, has a simple message for Geelong locals.

“Help fix kids with brain cancer,” he told the Independent on Tuesday.

Rory and his family have supported Robert Connor Dawes Foundation since 2018, when he was diagnosed with “innumerable” brain and spinal tumours.

“It was quite hard,” he remembered.

“I had to go through a lot of chemo.”

Rory was diagnosed with disseminated glioneuronal tumours, a form of a low-grade gliomas, in May 2018 at age four.

Mum Gemma first realised something was wrong when Rory began losing his balance, putting his head down and falling asleep at times that were “not normal” for his age.

They saw a GP on a Friday afternoon “who said, ‘something is not right’” and referred them to a paediatrician on the Monday.

A CT scan at University Hospital Geelong revealed fluid on Rory’s brain and that night he was taken to the Royal Children’s Hospital.

“We were in emergency all night,” Gemma said.

Midway through an MRI scan, specialists told Gemma and husband Josh they had discovered “innumerable” tumours.

“The expression ‘all of the blood drains from your body’ is exactly what happened,” she remembered. “All of sudden, things get really cold and your hands feel all sweaty.”

Just a week after the initial visit to the GP, surgeons operated on a particularly large tumour on Rory’s spinal cord at the base of his neck.

“They managed to remove enough to relieve some of the pressure and then he had chemotherapy, which shrunk it a little bit more,” Gemma said.

“It’s half the size now.”

Surgeons had already inserted a shunt to drain fluid from his brain, which he will need for life, and Rory began a gruelling 68 weeks of chemotherapy for the incurable but treatable condition.

“He would go to hospital every week in a different costume,” Gemma said.

Throughout Rory’s treatment, the Robert Conner Dawes Foundation connected the Berry family with important “moral support” from other families who had experienced similar journeys.

“There’s always someone to talk to and there’s people who have been through what we have and worse – there’s people who have lost children,” Gemma said.

Ironically, Gemma, a keen long-distance runner, had signed up for the foundation’s major fundraiser, Connor’s Run, months before Rory’s diagnosis.

But the event took on a whole new meaning when Gemma ran in it for the first time in September, 2018, to raise money for research into brain cancer.

She has since started her own fundraising team, Rory’s Warriors, which has donated tens of thousands of dollars to the foundation for research and support for families of children with brain cancer.

“I can’t fix Rory but what we do with Rory’s Warriors gives me hope for the future,” she said.

Rory finished his treatment in October, 2019, and while his many tumours remain, they are currently stable.

But Rory struggles with depth perception and sport due to blindness in his left eye from the condition.

The tumours also affect his motor skills and some bodily functions.

“His physical ability to keep up with other kids is always in my mind,” Gemma said.

“I see other families going for bike rides and I think, ‘I wish we could do that.’ I know it’s a small thing to worry about.”

Rory’s condition affects his ability to read, so the cheeky, stubborn and “incredibly strong-willed” youngster gets his Harry Potter fix via audiobook instead.

“I’ve got the whole movie set too,” he said.

Rory and older brother Hayden spent hours together listening to the beloved children’s series, according to Gemma.

“They would just sit there over the summer holidays listening to the Harry Potter books, and then put on their robes and run around with sticks pretending they were wands,” she said.

“He loves to tell a story and have a chat – his personality is 10 times the size of him. Once he gets an idea in his head, there’s no way you can get him to budge.”

And his mum shares his determination in her efforts to raise money for the foundation, despite COVID-19 forcing the cancellation of Conner’s Run this year and last year.

Gemma is instead encouraging locals to run alone at Fyansford common on September 19, or where ever and whenever suits them.

“We have an open-ended starting time, so there’s no crowd. We did that last year,” she said.

“They don’t even have to run,” she added.

“Some people have said, ‘I will read a book every week in September’.”

And Rory’s Warriors have already smashed their $15,000 goal despite the cancellation, raising more than $36,000 so far with generous a $20,000 donation from Gemma’s mum Lesley Meanie.

“It’s one of the worst things you can be told in life – that your is child sick,” Lesley told the Independent.

The long-time artist, who lives in Perth, knows exactly how that feels, after Gemma was born premature with a heart defect.

“It was pretty horrific for my husband and I at the time,” she said.

Her daughter had a hole in her heart that

‘‘

You wish you could just take the problem away, even to the extent of swapping the diagnosis to yourself

’’

- Lesley Meaney made her “lungs work six times harder than they normally would have to”, Lesley explained.

At age two Gemma underwent open-heart surgery, without which her lungs soon “would have been telling her that she was 80”, Lesley said.

“Since then, nothing has held her back.

She’s done so well physically in surf lifesaving, running, trampolining – she’s done it all. She’s just a marvel.”

But decades later, her daughter is suffering the same heartache as her.

“It’s so unfair when a child is four and diagnosed,” Lesley said.

“He knows he’s got brain cancer and there’s nothing he can do about it.

“You wish you could just take the problem away, even to the extent of swapping the diagnosis to yourself.

“I’m 76 now and my husband’s a similar age, and we’ve had a brilliant life.

“It’s a shocking thing to witness your children’s pain and there’s nothing you can do about it.

“But I think Gemma’s coping very well under the circumstances with great support from her husband, Josh, and Hayden.

“He’s the most delightful child and a wonderful big brother to Rory.”

Gemma continues to impress her mother with her fundraising.

“I think what Gemma is doing is fantastic,” Lesley said.

“It’s very heart-warming for us, as Gemma’s parents, that she is getting a lot of support from people who want to help her.”

And Lesley has joined in, donating $20,000 from the proceeds of her book Becoming an Australian: an artist’s journey.

The book documents 52 years as a full-time artist since she migrated from England to Australia in 1969.

“There’s still a few more books to sell,” she said. “We can’t take Rory’s cancer away, so we look for other ways we can help.

“Brain cancer research is the only avenue we’ve got at the moment.”

At just seven-years-old, her grandson echoes that sentiment.

“I like to raise money for Connor’s Run, so the scientists can figure out a way to stop brain cancer,” Rory said.

To donate visit connorsrun.com/fundraisers/ roryswarriors/connors-run or lesleymeaney. com.au Coles is also supporting Connor’s Run Victoria-wide by selling $2 donation cards in supermarkets and donating 10 cents for every 6 or 12-pack of Coles Bakery cookies sold until September 21.

Unique exhibition knows no pier

By Justin Flynn Queenscliff pier will come to life this November when more than 80 works by Australian artists will be exhibited above the water.

‘The Queenscliff Art Prize’ is the brainchild of Chris MacLeod and his brother Adam. They will install the artworks to the handrail of the southern side of the pier.

Artists from across the country have submitted works for the exhibition, including multiple works by local indigenous artists Billy-Jay O’Toole, Jessi Rebel, Jenna Oldaker and Norm Jurrawaa Stanley.

Mr MacLeod said his family has had roots in Queenscliff for almost 170 years.

“My family have been there since the 1850s,” he said. “Jack Wells was my great great grandfather and was a cook on the schooner,

- Chris MacLeod Rip, that sank in 1873.”

Mr MacLeod said the idea for the exhibition “steamrolled” after initially going for a walk along the pier.

“It came about by roundabout means, as they often do,” he said. “I found myself in Queenscliff and walked down to the pier and thought ‘what have they done to the pier?’ The sand has built up so much.

“The art was going to be attached to the pylons and be partially exposed at high tide.

“I had this crazy idea with the waves washing

around it to putting it up on the handrail.”

Mr MacLeod believes the exhibition will bring tourist dollars to the town.

“Sometimes art can be a bit intimidating in a gallery if you’re not really an art person,” he said. “This will be less intimidating and people will enjoy it.

“It’s an outdoor setting and it’s an ever changing natural environment.

“People will spend money in the town before and after seeing it.

“It’s COVID-Safe and wheelchair friendly.

I’m hoping it will be an annual event. I think it will be great.”

The Queenscliff Art Prize will run for six months starting November 1.

YOUR SAY Heart warming kindness

Debate should be welcomed

I have seen a lot of human kindness in Geelong in recent weeks.

On a number of occasions, I have witnessed shoppers offering to pay for the supermarket shopping of those immediately behind them.

The cost, seemingly irrelevant.

The motivation being pure generosity of spirit in difficult times.

Very touching and evidence that some social good has come out of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated lockdowns.

Michael J Gamble Belmont

Luke Voogt deserves the community’s appreciation for revealing the techniques being used to stifle debate by Surf Coast Shire officials.

If it wasn’t for his well-informed columns (such as that on page 5 of August 27’s ‘Independent’) who would know anything about the principled attempts of Heather Wellington and Paul Barker to make the council operate according to the normal conventions of reasoned debate and deliberation?

Members of the Surf Coast community will be puzzled, if not distressed, to learn that enormously talented, experienced and respected representatives, such as councillors Wellington and Barker, are being effectively prevented from making the contribution they would otherwise make to local affairs.

Voters will want the mayor to know that community input is conducive to productivity - understood as satisfying important personal and social values. If mayor Stapleton wants a recent, concrete example of how a community was saved from serious disruption through democratic deliberation and action, she should talk to Heather Wellington and her neighbours about their experience of resisting attempts to

No reasoning I don’t know any anti-vaxxers but I’m pretty sure they aren’t going to be persuaded by story from a cancer survivor or even a COVID survivor. The truth is these people are utterly impervious to reason. You are wasting your time. I wonder how they would have fared a hundred years ago when polio was tearing across the nation?

Vaccine passports ‘not the answer’ Since when has Premier Andrews believed in discrimination?

Governments have outlawed discrimination against just about everything including gender, sexual preference, race, disability, religion and so on. Discrimination is not welcome in today’s society.

So why does the premier want to bring in discrimination based on COVID vaccinations?

You can’t have your cake and eat it too –either the premier believes any form of discrimination is wrong, or he doesn’t, simple.

If you are going to bring in vaccine passports, then why not go the whole hog and just allow any form of discrimination on any grounds?

Why does the Premier want to create a divided two-tiered society where many citizens will be denied basic human rights? Having such a policy will divide citizen against citizen.

The premier is wrong if he thinks that

people aren’t interested in protecting their health by not wanting the jab. There are lots of preventative therapies available –which the Andrews government is blatantly ignoring - the vaccine is but one option – it’s not the only option which the premier so arrogantly assumes.

Vaccine passports are not the way forward, but will create widespread dissention and friction. Many Victorians like myself aren’t prepared to accept this blatant form of discrimination and will fight against this draconian measure.

This is not the way forward premier.

Images can be taken on a camera or smartphone but need to be fairly high quality, and this year’s competition includes an under 18 category for the young ones.

Entries are now open for calendar photo competition One Agency Surf Coast is inviting all amateur and professional photographers to be part of its 2022 calendar, with a special call out to ‘grommet snappers’.

Following the success of its popular calendar photo competition over the past two years, One Agency Surf Coast is once again putting the call out to photographers to submit their favourite scenic shots.

This year, One Agency is introducing a new category for photographers aged 18 and under, with the winning image from this category appearing in the 2022 calendar.

Youngsters will need a parent or guardian’s permission to enter.

“We wanted a way to showcase and celebrate the beauty of where we live, so we took a punt on running a calendar photo competition two years ago and were blown away by the response,” One Agency Surf Coast director Shaun O’Callaghan said.

“We’re stoked to launch the competition again this year and to give up and coming grommet photographers the chance to show us their stuff and get involved.”

Last year’s photo competition attracted more than 200 entries, with 13 winning shots forming the foundation of a high-quality calendar that was given away by One Agency to 3000 local people and businesses.

“Once again, we’re inviting people to show us what they love or what inspires them in postcode 3228, Mr O’Callaghan said.

“Naturally, shots of the ocean and our shorelines are popular choices, but we’re open to creative interpretations of scenic shots, such as surfing, streetscapes, faces, sunsets… you name it.”

Mr O’Callaghan said renowned local photographer Ed Sloane would again be judging this year’s competition and that photos could be taken on a camera or phone – just as long as they’re suitable for print quality at A4 size.

To enter, email low-resolution versions of

your photos along with the photo location, your name, email, phone number and age (for the Grom Snapper category only) to torquay@oneagency.com.au by Sunday 26 September 2021.

Thirteen images will be selected to appear in the One Agency Surf Coast 2022 calendar with photo credits to the winning photographers, plus social media and other promotion.

The calendars will be available for free to everyone and can be collected from One Agency’s office later in the year.

Expert help for foot, knee and leg pain A recent study has shown that the later stages of lockdown may contribute to an increase in foot and knee pain and injuries worldwide (nature. com). This is largely due to an increase in slips and falls around the house with people wearing slippery socks or non-supportive shoes, like slippers, for extended periods. However, post-lockdown predictions are showing a further increase in foot and leg issues.

One of Australia’s leading foot and leg pain experts, Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, explains why this might be the case.

“When people return to normal work and

exercise, after an extended period of decreased physical activity, the body can lose condition, increasing the risk of overuse syndromes and tissue stress resulting in injuries,” says David Kavanagh from Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Geelong West.

Foot and Leg Pain Clinics has been successfully assisting adults, children, seniors and professional athletes with common and complex foot and leg concerns for the past 15 years and has helped many with pain and injuries throughout COVID lockdowns.

The clinics have expertise assisting conditions such as general pain, soft tissue injuries (new and old), degenerative joint conditions, bursitis, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and children’s growth and development concerns. They’ve even assisted joint and tissue regeneration for arthritis sufferers and helped many to avoid surgeries such as knee replacements.

“By keeping up to date with the latest medical research and treatments, we understand how

we can assist the body to function better and heal itself,” Dr Kavanagh says.

“Addressing tissue stress patterns, biomechanical weaknesses, faulty foot and joint function and various lifestyle factors -

then combining that information with natural regenerative treatments and load management strategies, we’re able to treat most foot and leg pain very efficiently and effectively,” Dr Kavanagh said.

If you suffer any foot, ankle, knee, leg or hip pain, Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Geelong West is currently offering $50 off the cost of initial consultations. Phone 1300 328 300 to make an appointment.

The festival comes as the chocolaterie rebounds from the devastating effects of COVID-19 on local tourism last year.

The event runs at Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery, Bellbrae, from next Wednesday to February 21.

Non-finalised pleas at Geelong County Court have remained level on 26 between January 27, 2020 and January 27, 2021, with 80 pleas finalised between those dates.

The Productivity Commission’s Report on Government Services (Justice) shows that pending criminal matters in the Magistrates Court of Victoria have increased by 82 per cent from 2014-15 to 2019-20.

Following the suspension of in-person circuit sittings, the County Court of Victoria implemented a new process for regional matters.

Under the process, all pleas and appeals against sentences are provided with a fixed listing date upon committal or appeal lodgement.

“The majority of these matters were conducted virtually using video conferencing software, with appearances in court permitted under limited circumstances,” a court spokesperson said.

“This has reduced the delay for these types of matters.”

FEATURING ... AUTO

Service front and centre A leading independent workshop in Geelong, BJT Automotive has established a solid reputation as a reliable and thorough workshop with exceptional customer service.

Owner Brett Turley says the high standards they pride themselves on mean they are an excellent alternative to dealership servicing.

“We are renowned for our fussiness and attention to detail, and that’s exactly how we like it,” he says. “To ensure our mechanical services are cutting edge and up to date we are constantly refreshing and improving our mechanics’ skills and knowledge.”

Personalised service is front and centre at BJT Automotive as well. Brett and his team offer a loan car and courtesy car service and like to get an understanding of each customer and car.

“Our mechanics take note and listen.

They’re thorough and keep extensive records of each service. This means we’re aware of wear, tear and potential issues.

“And regular log book servicing results in a better sale price when it comes time to sell.”

Brett says that prices are very competitive, and customers can trust that any parts used will always maintain their new car warranties.

He also has some advice for anyone who’s about to buy or sell a car.

“We encourage them to talk to us first.

We are VicRoads roadworthy testers, able to issue roadworthy certificates, and offer comprehensive pre-purchase car inspections.”

As well as tyre fitting, the workshop carries out a range of mechanical services, with Holden, Toyota, Ford, Mazda, Subaru, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Honda, Hyundai, Kia and Suzuki covered.

The upgraded Mazda6 sedan’s swoopy coupe looks belie its mid-range passenger car status.

(Pictures: Supplied)

Mazda’s new mid-range offering

By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring While SUVs and pickup trucks reign supreme on the world’s automobile markets, the humble sedan can only stand by, looking on in envy.

One such observer, the Mazda6, has paid the price for this fickle sales atmosphere.

Despite this, the company has persisted with its mid-range passenger car in sedan and wagon form, while simplifying it to four variants - Sport, Touring, GT SP and Atenza.

New kid on the block is the GT SP, which according to Mazda Australia managing director Vinesh Bhindi, brings a distinctly sporty character to the range and builds on the local GT SP portfolio alongside the CX-9.

The GT SP, along with the range-topping Atenza, take on a turbocharged version of the 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine used across the range, developing 170 kW and 420 Nm. The Sport and Touring make do with the naturally aspirated unit delivering 140 kW and 252 Nm. As well as engine enhancements, the GT SP boasts 19-inch alloy wheels, adaptive front lighting and leather upholstery on heated front and rear seating. The sedan sells for $46,690, plus on-road costs, the wagon $47,990.

The entry-level sports sedan comes to market at a competitive $34,590, plus ORCs, the wagon $35,890. We were given a taste of the upgrades with the former.

Styling This is no white-bread model. In looks alone, the Mazda6 Sedan has earned the right to stand shoulder to shoulder with prestige product with a price sticker above and beyond its own.

With its sleek, coupe-style profile and 17-inch alloy wheels, the car commands attention.

The Mazda signature radiator grille is flanked by LED headlamps and daytime running lights, while rear lighting repeats the reliance on LED technology.

Interior Despite showing its age in decor, black cloth upholstery sets the scene with its look of quality, complemented by a leather wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifts. An electric park brake features a hold function.

Rear seat leg and shoulder room is good and dual zone climate control incorporates rear vents but getting in and out of the back is a chore because of a pinched door opening due to the swoopy nature of the sedan. Boot space is a usable 474 litres.

Infotainment An 8-inch full colour touch screen atop the central dashboard displays info from the car’s MZD Connect system, including embedded satellite navigation. Bluetooth is hands-free capable and USB-audio input ports are iPod compatible. There’s a USB charging port in the rear seat armrest.

Engines / transmissions Sport and Touring sedans and wagons feature Mazda’s well-respected Skyactiv-G 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, mated with a six-speed automatic transmission, driving the front wheels.

The set-up produces 140 kW of power at 6000 rpm and 252 Nm of torque at 4000 revs. On 91-octane unleaded petrol, fuel consumption is a claimed 7 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined urban / highway cycle.

Safety A five-star safety rating is 2018 vintage. It includes intelligent speed assistance, smart city brake support, front and rear, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and driver attention alert.

Also fitted are rear parking sensors, high beam control, rear view mirror with

auto dimming, reverse camera, traffic sign recognition and tyre pressure monitoring.

Driving The Mazda6 Sport Sedan offered up a quirky welcome, with a nod to the past in that the doors are unlocked by use of a key fob button - no modern touch of the door handle here and then discarded for a dash-mounted push button start to the engine.

A further minor beef is fitment of the old 8-inch Mazda MZD Connect infotainment system and not the newer Mazda Connect as in the Mazda3 and CX-30. However, the familiar Command Control knob on the centre console does make access to info easy while the vehicle is on the move.

Having said that, the entry-level Sport does what a mid-size passenger sedan is supposed to: carry occupants in comfort and safety and be a pleasure to drive. No worries.

The six-speed automatic transmission did much to do this smoothly and efficiently, while the suspension was up to taking the rough and tumble of some scratchy roads no matter what load the car was carting.

Don’t take the word ‘Sport’ literally.

Performance is not the prerogative here. For that a step up is needed to the GT SP or Atenza, with the turbocharged 2.5-litre unit generating 170 kW at 5000 rpm and a robust 420 Nm at a low 2000 rpm.

Mazda claims the naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine of the Sport uses 7 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres. The test car recorded 9.3 litres per 100 kilometres in the CBD and suburbs and 6.4 litres per 100 kilometres on the motorway.

Summary For those interested in buying a mid-size passenger car (are there any out there?) the Mazda6 Sedan serves the segment well.

Guthrie signs for four more years at the Cattery Reigning Geelong best-and-fairest Cam Guthrie has signed for another four years with the Cats ahead of tonight’s preliminary final against Melbourne.

“It’s kind of been bubbling away in the background a little bit, which is kind of how I wanted it to be,” the 29-year-old told a press conference on Tuesday.

“I’ve wanted to make it all about the team and push any individual aspects of my career to the background.”

Guthrie admitted missing out on playing in Geelong Cats’ last premiership-winning side during his debut year in 2011 played a part in his decision to re-sign.

“It was always a goal of mine to get in that group and be a premiership player,” he said.

This year Guthrie qualified as an unrestricted free agent but he had held off on signing a new deal in order to secure a longer contract extension, according to afl.com.au.

He has averaged 29.1 disposals a game this

season, after making the All-Australian side last year.

The newly-inked contract means the reigning Carji Greeves medallist will remain at Geelong until at least the end of 2025.

“I feel like the club has always given me respect and I’ve tried to return that,” he said.

“Negotiations went really well and they were

conducted really fairly and respectively again, so the whole process has been a good one.”

With the deal squared away, Guthrie was keen to face the Demons tonight at Optus Stadium in Perth.

“I’m really enthusiastic about our prospects and I can’t wait to get out there,” he said.

Clayton Oliver is just one of several talented players Geelong’s midfield will seek to counter.

“He obviously likes to get his hands dirty and win that contested ball,” Guthrie said.

“He played really well in that win against us in round 23 and was possibly the difference that night, so I think we’ll have good chat about him this week.

“We respect what their midfield can do – we respect what their whole team can do.”

Guthrie backed in-form teammate Rhys Stanley to take on All-Australian ruckman Max Gawn.

“I’ve always got confidence in my teammates, so I think Rhys will come up and do a really

good job,” he said.

“He’s had a great finish to the season so we expect that Rhys will win his fair share and give it a good crack in there.

“Max is obviously a really good ruckman and he’s going to win his fair share at times.

“It’s going to be a bit of a balance both offensively and defensively and we’re going to be ready for both outcomes.”

“The clearances and the centre bounces are going to be a massive part [of] the way the game … ultimately goes in the end.

“As a midfield group we really take pride in what we can do in there and know we’re really important in that battle, so I’m looking forward to that.

“We think we need to bring our best to tip the result our way. We’re willing to go out and give it our best shot and we’ve been preparing that way.”

Forwards ready for fight

By Luke Voogt Geelong Cats hope to create “havoc” up forward after Melbourne defenders Jake Lever and Steven May “made us look like fools” in the sides’ previous clash, according to Isaac Smith.

The hard-running winger made the admission in a press conference on Monday as he prepared for the clash of two of the best midfields in the AFL. “They have got an unbelievable midfield, with Maxy [Gawn], ‘Trac’ [Christian Petracca], [Jack] Viney and Clayton Oliver, so it’s going to be won and lost in the contest, like most games of football,” the 32-year-old said.

“But they also set up the ground so well defensively, and Lever and May certainly made us look like fools in round 23.”

Geelong’s midfielders needed to improve their delivery and not “kick it straight to Lever like we did in round 23”, Smith said.

But Geelong’s semi-final win against GWS Giants showed the Cats forwards, tall and small, could increase their pressure too, he said.

“Jeremy Cameron and Gary Rohan are as 22 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 10 September, 2021

quick as any smalls on the deck.

“I think we saw, especially Gary, have two or three run-down tackles, and put a fair bit of pressure on GWS. “In that sense, they are pretty tall but we also thought we had the defensive ability down forward to cause a bit of havoc.”

Esava Ratugolea could also help stretch the Demon’s defence as an extra target while pinch-hitting for in-form ruckman Rhys Stanley against All-Australian opponent Gawn.

Stanley took seven marks, and recorded 35 hit outs, 19 disposals and three inside 50s in an impressive outing against Shane Mumford, with Ratugolea occasionally taking the ruck.

And Ratugolea’s athleticism allowed him to spoil and mark on several occasions across the ground, even when he was initially out of position in the contest.

“I think he showed on the weekend that he can bust the packs open and he took a pretty nice mark 40 metres out, so he just adds another dimension to our team,” Smith said.

“We’ve got two or three other big fellas down

forward as well, so hopefully they’ll be a fair bit to handle on Friday night.”

Capitalising on scoring shots was one area Geelong could improve on from last Friday night’s win, Smith said.

“I think we played really well, especially around the contest in our defensive half.

“We certainly had the inside 50s and shots on goal. But if we could just finish them off, then it’s probably a 10- to 12-goal win.”

Certainly, that could prove the difference tonight, after Geelong squandered several good chances to seal the game in round 23 when they gave up a 44-point lead to the Demons.

“I think both teams had their moments in that game,” Smith said.

Smith described losing “underrated” midfielder Brand Parfitt to a season-ending hamstring injury last Friday as a “massive loss” for the Cats.

“He’s so good at bringing the opposition down and [has] quick feet around the stoppages,” he said.

“But we’ve also got a few blokes in the wings that have been chomping at the bit. We’re pretty lucky with the depth we’ve got going through

Organisers have postponed the Victorian Gromsearch finals amid the state’s ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.

Surfing Victoria on Tuesday announced it had postponed the event, initially scheduled to take place at Jan Jun on September 18-19, following discussions with chief sponsor Rip Curl.

“We are sad to have to postpone a big event on the Victorian calendar,” Surfing Victoria chief executive Adam Robertson said.

“However with the continued COVID-19 restrictions it won’t be possible to run an event that includes all Victorian groms.

“We appreciate the patience and understanding from competitors and parents and look forward to hosting the Rip Curl GromSearch at Jan Juc in the future.”

Rip Curl event manager Mark Flanagan echoed the sentiment.

“We don’t want to run the Rip Curl GromSearch if travel is prohibited from around Victoria,” he said.

“We respect the relevant COVID regulations and will try and find an alternative date when we can run the event.”

Surfing Victoria plans to announce new dates in coming weeks, with the Australian GromSearch national final now set to take place in 2022.

The series provides the opportunity for grommets to surf with competitors from around the country and develop their game.

As participants progress through to the national finals, they test their skills against Australia’s best, gaining valuable experience competing against elite-level talent and a chance to compete in the Gromsearch International.

The top six surfers of the final 2019 men’s World Surf League (WSL) rankings were all former GromSearch finalists, while in the women’s competition Gromsearch competitors have won the past 13 world titles.

Current WSL competitors that were GromSearch finalists include Tyler Wright, Steph Gilmore, Sally Fitgibbons, Owen Wright, Gabriel Medina and Filipe Toledo.

SPORT Boardriders back India’s quest to make big time Jan Juc Boardriders have gotten behind promising local born-and-bred surfer India Robinson’s quest to make the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour.

The 20-year-old is preparing to head to the US next Thursday to compete in the first of four WSL Challenger Series events at Huntington Beach, California.

The top six women in the series – stopping in Portugal, France and Hawaii – will earn a place on the tour competing against the best surfers in the world.

“It would be a dream come true,” said Robinson, who grew up surfing Bells Beach and Winki Pop. Robinson set her sights on the international circuit at age 14, and as a junior was a regular in the local women’s fixture and even the occasional men’s boardrider event.

Last year she moved to Casuarina, NSW, with Phillip Island rival-turned-friend Sophie

Fletcher to train at the Surfing Australia High Performance Centre.

“We’ve been competing against each other since we were 11 and we became best friends,” she said.

Sadly for Robinson, her best mate did not make The Challenger Series.

“I wish she qualified so we could travel

together … maybe next year,” she said.

Earlier this year, Robinson defeated WSL competitor Sophie McCulloch in the final of the QS 1000, an event at Marouba that featured former world number one and Olympian Sally Fitzgibbons.

“I’ve had a few good results but that one stands out,” she said.”

And Robinson’s old hometown and boardriders club have launched an online fundraiser to help her achieve her dream.

“I just saw it last night. It came as a bit of a surprise,” she said yesterday.

“They’re amazing. They know how difficult it is and how much it costs, so I’m very grateful.”

Jan Juc Boardriders president Jack Stevenson said Robinson had been “on a tear” this year.

“I think that she’s got what it takes to make the world tour,” he said. “She’s really focussed on her fitness and training to put her in the best position to achieve her goals.”

Stevenson, the older brother of Robinson’s good mate back home, Ava, praised her efforts running the Queen In Me all-girls surf camp in NSW. “It’s amazing to see her not only grow as a surfer but also grow a platform to shine a light on women’s surfing, especially for the younger generations,” he said.

The club held a raffle at The Beach Hotel prior to the most recent lockdown, and Surfing Victoria has donated rash vests signed by WSL surfers Carissa Moore and Kolohe Andino for the online fundraiser.

“It’s not going to be cheap, so hopefully we can help her along the way,” Stevenson said.

“We’re stoked to support her and watch her achieve her goals.”

Scott backs in his stars

By Luke Voogt Geelong Cats coach Chris Scott is backing his midfielders and forwards to take the game to the Demons in tonight’s preliminary final.

“I think it’s folly to go in thinking [Christian] Petracca, [Jack] Viney,[Clayton] Oliver and those guys need to have really low possession games for us to win, I don’t agree with that notion,” Scott told a press conference on Wednesday as the Cats trained on Optus Stadium.

“I’m not going to diminish them in any way, shape or form but we are going to back in our midfield.”

While the Cats will seek to limit players like Oliver, Melbourne faces a similar threat from Geelong midfielders Patrick Dangerfield, Joel Selwood, Cam Guthrie and Mitch Duncan.

“It’s a question for both sides,” Scott said.

“There is a really clear line there for us where trying to stop them becomes an overall negative for the way our team wants to play.

“I suspect there’ll be a little bit of both teams trying to get the game on their terms and be proactive with their midfielders, with a couple of contingencies if that’s not working.

“We’ve got a really good midfield that we’ll back in [and we are] potent ahead of the ball,

and if those two parts of the game go well for one team or the other, their defence is going to look pretty good behind it.”

Scott applied the same mantra to Rhys Stanley taking on All-Australian ruckman Max Gawn and suggestions Geelong’s forwards needed to contain All-Australian defenders Jake Lever and Steven May. “We always have plans for the best players,” he said “I really liked Rhys Stanley’s game last time we played.”

“Lever and May have got to stop our guys, that’s the way we’re looking at it,” he added.

Geelong goes into the preliminary final without hardworking midfielder Brandan Parfitt or backline general Tom Stewart due to injuries.

“When you take your best player out of an area of the ground there’s always a period of instability there,” Scott said of Stewart.

“I think last week and getting Zach Tuohy back will help stabilise us a bit.”

“We’ve been able to overcome less than full availability all year. We’ve had at least a handful of our very best players unavailable for big chunks of the year.

“We would have liked it to come together a little bit better by now but we’ve still got a team that can win a couple of games.”

While star players Duncan, Dangerfield and Jeremy Cameron have missed large parts of the season, Scott said “the lack of cumulative load” could be a small positive for them.

Geelong’s round 23 loss to the Demons was more relevant to tonight’s game than historic encounters often referenced by the media during finals, he said.

The Cats had assessed the positives and areas for improvement from that game, Scott said.

“Hopefully we’re not so positive and all Ted Lasso on our optimism, because there were parts of that game that weren’t good enough.

“There were lessons learned on both sides of the coin that, especially given it was so recent, have some relevance.”

The Cats’ form and consistency had improved since, especially in last Friday’s semi-final win over the Giants, Scott said.

“Our last month of the home-and-away season wasn’t as good as we would have liked.

But within games there were really good patches there,” he said.

“It wasn’t as if we hadn’t seen our best footy, we just hadn’t seen it consistently throughout games.”

He acknowledged Geelong would have to play “close to our best” to win tonight.

“We think we’re capable,” he said.

St Mary’s midfielder Harry Benson won the Mathieson Medal on Wednesday, becoming the first Saint to win the GFL best-and-fairest since Ben Lavars in 2010.

The 22-year-old averaged 33.5 disposals per game, including a season-high 47 touches in St Mary’s win over Lara in round 15.

Benson polled 26 of 33 possible votes, nine ahead of St Joseph’s midfielder and former VFL player Jordan Keras.

St Joseph’s duo Jarred Jans and Lachlan Devine shared the best-and-fairest honours in the reserves as joint winners of the Allthorpe Medal.

Grovedale tall foward Tom Gillett topped the goal-kicking with 42 for the season, which also earned the teenager the Rookie of the Year award.

South Barwon’s Cameron Primmer kicked 32 goals to lead the reserves goal-kicking tally.
