Family’s heart beats true Samantha Chivers received an ultimatum from partner and Demons fanatic Justin Pitcher at a Melbourne-Richmond game in 2015, a few months after they started dating.

She had just begun singing the Richmond theme as the Tigers took the field, she remembered.

“I got told if I continued to sing the Richmond song, I’d be walking home from the MCG alone,” she laughed.

“So I quickly Googled the Melbourne theme song to learn that.

“The deal was, ‘if you want to go out with me, you’ve got to support the Demons’.

“I didn’t really follow footy – I didn’t grow up with AFL and my dad played rugby – and red and blue looks good, so no worries.”

The Demons won the Anzac eve clash by 32 points, and The Grand Old Flag is now a favourite for their three-year-old daughter Phoebe, who has belted out the tune quite often this year.

“She’ll just burst out into the Demons song where ever,” Samantha said.

“We’re definitely Demons-orientated in this household.”

Justin confirmed Samantha’s allegiance was “not up for negotiation”.

On track for lockdown end

By Luke Voogt Geelong appears on track to exit lockdown on schedule this Sunday with no new cases reported in the city yesterday.

The Surf Coast, also scheduled to exit lockdown at midnight on Sunday, recorded just one new case in a Torquay household on Wednesday, health authorities confirmed.

“This case is a known primary close contact of a local case, and was in isolation for their infectious period,” Barwon South West Public Health Unit director Eugene Athan said.

“The low number of new cases and

community transmission is a positive sign for our region.”

Greater Geelong had 17 active cases as of Wednesday, with another five in the Surf Coast Shire, according to the Department of Health.

“No new exposure sites have been identified in our region,” Professor Athan said.

“There are five patients in University Hospital Geelong with COVID-19.

“Two of these people are in [intensive care] in a serious but stable condition, and three are in a stable condition. All patients are from Metropolitan Melbourne.

“Demand for testing has been steady with

almost 2000 tests performed across testing sites yesterday.”

Professor Athan urged locals to continue getting vaccinated as the Barwon South West Public Health Unit surpassed a quarter of a million doses delivered in the region this week.

“We are experiencing strong demand for first dose Pfizer bookings this weekend,” he said.

“However we urge those requiring their second dose to come forward and make a booking when due as we have availability for second dose appointments. We also have walk-ins and appointments available for AstraZeneca vaccinations. The vaccines are

98 per cent effective at preventing any kind of disease hospitalisation from COVID-19 [and reduce] the chance of transmission from person to person by at least 60 per cent.”

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews also indicated the signs looked promising for Geelong to exit lockdown on time.

“I think it’s progressing as we had hoped,” Mr Andrews said. “It’s all dependent on what happens in the next couple of days but we hope to be able to have positive announcements for Geelong soon.”

Historic restoration just first step

By Luke Voogt A more than $500,000 renovation of the 168-year-old Osborne House is now complete, marking the first step of a planned major redevelopment, according to council.

Council yesterday announced workers had finished restoration works at the historic North Geelong building and stables including stabilising walls, façade repairs, painting, and upgrading the car park drainage.

They also repaired or replaced 40 windows and more than 40 French doors throughout the main bluestone building. A new fire detection system featuring 23 detectors is now monitored off-site and linked with a security system.

“Osborne House and the stables have significant heritage value and sit in an important location on the North Geelong waterfront,” said councillor Eddy Kontelj, who chairs council’s restoration of the building.

“The works have made an improvement to

the way the buildings look, and also ensured they can be safely accessed and enjoyed by the community once the future use of the site is decided. While these initial works are encouraging and were necessary, there is still much work to do.”

Council has allocated another $8 million for restoration over the next four years, according to finance portfolio chair Anthony Aitken.

“The works completed so far are the first step in what we hope will be an exciting journey

towards opening this important site back up for the community and celebrating its heritage value,” Cr Aitken said.

Council has estimated the total cost of redeveloping Osborne House will be at least $21 million.

Council has pledged to keep Osborne House in public hands and prioritise its heritage values, while restoring and “transforming” the precinct for a mix of community, public and commercial use.

Point Lonsdale exits lockdown

Planting for the future of our koalas An international cryptocurrency giant’s $400,000 donation has driven the planting of 25,000 trees for koalas around Geelong’s outskirts, along with another 20,000 in East Gippsland.

Koala Clancy Foundation passed the 25,000 mark last Saturday following the combined efforts of staff and volunteers throughout the year, according to foundation president Janine Duffy.

The foundation had initially set a target of 20,000 for 2021.

“We were thinking with COVID we wouldn’t make it but we achieved 20,000 a few weeks early, so we thought, ‘why not go for 25,000?’”

Ms Duffy said.

The 2019-20 bushfires killed more than 60,000 koalas, according to a World Wildlife Federation commissioned report.

“A lot of people wanted to plant trees in the burnt areas but [they will] regenerate,” Ms Duffy said. “You can’t just rush in there and plant trees. But what we can do is strengthen the koala habitats that weren’t burnt.

“Protecting our Geelong koalas indirectly helps the koalas in the burnt area by increasing the overall breeding population.”

The charity arm of international cryptocurrency exchange Binance raised $1 million to plant 100,000 trees in Australia and earlier this year donated $400,000 to Koala Clancy Foundation.

“They did some fundraising around the bushfires last year and they wanted to spend it,” Ms Duffy said. “And they’ve got more, so fingers crossed, we might be able to do it again.

If we can do 25,000 in a COVID year, we can easily do 30,000 in a normal year, maybe even more.”

Geelong council and international wildlife organisations have also supported the foundation’s tree-planting in locations including the You Yangs, Little River, Moorabool, and Stonehaven.

“We’ll take it as far as it can go,” Ms Duffy said.

Point Lonsdale exited lockdown ahead of the rest of greater Geelong yesterday after lobbying from community leaders and Bellarine MP Lisa Neville.

The move reunited postcode 3225 after state government placed greater Geelong in lockdown on Monday.

This meant the City of Greater Geelong part of the postcode went into lockdown while restrictions in the neighbouring Borough of Queenscliffe, a separate municipality, remained the same as in the rest of regional Victoria.

Bellarine MP Lisa Neville urged state government to resolve the issue following community feedback.

On Wednesday Deputy Premier James Merlino announced Point Lonsdale would revert to the same restrictions as regional Victoria.

But local opposition MP Bev McArthur questioned how health advice could “be used” to place Point Lonsdale into lockdown, only to ease the restrictions days later.

She described Point Lonsdale being “caught up in the Geelong lockdown” in the first place as “ridiculous”.

“It begs the question, why is Ms Neville only taking an interest now?”

But Ms Neville said the decision to lockdown Geelong was based on public health advice.

“This advice did not include locking down the Borough of Queenscliff, which for the first time in this pandemic divided Point Lonsdale,” she said. “I raised the matter with the Health Minister after receiving contact from local residents to request that the restriction level for Point Lonsdale be reviewed.”

Geelong Wart Clinic continues to grow and help its clients Geelong Wart Clinic has been nominated for this year’s Geelong Business Excellence Awards. Elle Cecil speaks with Dean Cronkwright about what it’s like to start a business in the midst of a global pandemic.

Starting a new business during a global pandemic is almost as difficult as it sounds.

Dean Cronkwright, podiatrist and director of the Geelong Wart Clinic, has discovered this firsthand following the opening of the business in January 2020.

Operating out of Prosper Health Group in Highton, the Geelong Wart Clinic is a specialist clinic that treats warts from the elbows and knees down to fingers and toes.

The beginning of the pandemic in 2020 was especially difficult for Dean and the clinic as the government hadn’t been able to determine what businesses were essential to the area.

Delayed by almost six months, the clinic was finally able to begin regular operations.

However, the clinic faced further hurdles with clients being concerned about health regulations and restrictions.

“The hardest thing about starting a business in COVID was being able to engage with clients,” Dean explains.

“There was quite a bit of hesitancy within the community to go out for medical treatment.”

The clinic employed a variety of communication platforms to keep clients updated with appointments and also to navigate lockdowns.

“We are essential and we are taking all precautions to keep our clients and team safe with the relevant protocols and health and safety measures,” says Dean.

With an overwhelmingly positive response to both their communication and services, the Geelong Wart Clinic has been nominated for this year’s Geelong Business Excellence Awards. Recognising that in the business’s short existence, it has served the community

faithfully and provided high quality services to locals in the Geelong region. As Geelong’s only specialty wart clinic, Dean and his team have successfully treated over 1000 warts with a 90 percent success rate in the last year.

The Geelong Wart Clinic is located at 237 Roslyn Road, Highton. For more information, phone 1300 283 063 or visit www. geelongwartclinic.com.au.

Thanks to this year’s major sponsors LBW Business + Wealth Advisors and Deakin University, the 2021 Geelong Business Excellence Awards celebrate clever, creative and resilient businesses and business leaders.

Fans hoping Dogs can repeat the glory of 2016 Grovedale’s Angela Biviano waited 18 years to watch her beloved “Doggies” win the 2016 premiership alongside 99,980 fans.

Angela watched from the ground level of the MCG, near the pocket, as the underdogs upset Sydney to win an incredible fourth final in a row and claim the flag.

“It was beyond loud,” she remembered, ahead of tomorrow’s grand final against Melbourne.

“The stands were like… moving – it was awesome.”

The Western Bulldogs broke a 62-year premiership drought that day, so Angela empathises with Demons fans facing their own 57-year drought.

“I feel for them and if they were playing

anybody else I would be barracking for them, but I’ve got to support my boys,” she said.

“I’m happy for us to spoil the party.”

Angela, now 41, was 18 when friends took her to a few Footscray Bulldogs games prompting her to switch sides.

She missed the Bulldogs’ 2016 qualifier in Perth but went to every final after including their thrilling preliminary final win over GWS at the Giants’ home ground.

“There were more Bulldogs supporters than GWS,” she said.

“That was the best game I’ve ever been to.”

The Bulldogs could again pull off a big upset after winning three do-or-die finals so far.

“We’ve got a nice balance between some

really skilled players and some players that just give it their all,” Angela said.

Angela, this year a player sponsor for tall forward Mitch Hannan, will have to watch the big game in Perth from home due to Victoria’s latest COVID-19 outbreak.

“We looked at helicopters, shipping containers, submarines – anything that could get us there,” she joked.

Instead she has hung up everything red, white and blue she owns around home to build the atmosphere.

“We can’t be there so we’ve got to do something to get the enthusiasm up,” she said.

Helen’s long wait for flag

By Luke Voogt Helen Gaffney was just one-year-old and living in London when the Melbourne Demons last won a premiership.

“I was born in 1963 and they won in ’64,” the almost lifelong fan from Ocean Grove said ahead of tomorrow’s grand final.

“We came over here from England when I was three and my parents got attached to Aussie rules football.”

Growing up in Glen Waverley, Helen chose the Dees to be different to her mum, dad and three brothers, who supported either Richmond or Collingwood.

“I loved going to the football and we would catch the bus to Waverley Park,” she said.

“When I was 15, I was allowed to get on the train [to the MCG], so I joined the cheer squad.

“It’s good if go to the football by yourself – you know you’ve got a bunch of people waiting there to welcome you in, and my parents knew that I was safe,” she said.

“I used to go to training every Tuesday and Thursday night and make the run-throughs – they call them banners now.”

“I’ve met Ron Barassi, Neale Daniher, Jim Stynes – I’ve met them all going to after parties and other events.”

Helen left the cheer squad after high school, but later bought season seats for herself and daughter Haylee.

“For 20 years she’s been coming to games with me,” she said.

After more than half a century supporting the Demons and attending more than 500 hundred games, Helen knows “the words to every single other team’s song”.

“I’ve had to listen to them all over the years,” she said.

The Demons have longest current premiership drought – 57 years – of any VFL/ AFL team.

“You learn to be a really good loser,” Helen

said. “You learn to forgive, forget and look forward to next week. When we win, it’s like winning a premiership.”

But this year the Demons are a big chance to win the real thing.

“They’ve beaten every team this year – we’ve never seen this from our team,” Helen said.

“They’re playing like mates.”

She missed out on attending the Demons’ last grand final in 2000, and will again tomorrow

with the AFL moving the game to Perth and interstate travel off limits amid COVID-19.

But she and Haylee donated their members’ barcodes to families in Perth, which both managed to score tickets in the ballot.

They plan to order in food and cocktails to make the most of watching the big game at home.

“This is the most exciting time in my whole life!” Helen said.

“Hell no,” he laughed.

He knows all too well the suffering of being a Demons supporter, after barracking for the club since 1990.

Melbourne last won the premiership in 1964, the longest current drought in the VFL/AFL. “It’s been very painful, copping thrashings along the way,” the Lovely Banks local said.

“Every time we scored was an achievement at one stage.”

At age eight Justin played Auskick, ironically, at the Corio Devils where the kids were split up into four AFL sides.

He just happened to be on the ‘Melbourne Demons’ team, which led to him embracing the red and the blue.

His twin daughters Maya and Ella and stepson Locky are all passionate Demons supporters.

“They didn’t really have a choice,” he said.

Justin reckons he has been to “90 per cent” of their games, including plenty interstate, over the past two decades.

“Until COVID hit,” he said.

With the AFL moving the grand final to Perth and interstate travel off limits due to Victoria’s latest COVID-19 outbreak, the family will watch excitedly from their living room instead.

“It should be a good game,” Justin said. “Go Demons!”

Queenscliff leads vaccine race

By Luke Voogt Queenscliff has become the first Australian local government area to reach the Commonwealth’s second reopening target of 80 per cent fully vaccinated, according to federal health data.

As of Sunday a nation-leading 80.1 per cent of eligible residents in the Borough of Queenscliffe, which has a median age of 59, were fully-vaccinated against COVID-19.

The municipality was one of four in Australia to reach more than 95 per cent first doses, according to health data released on Monday evening.

Under a federal government plan, released in July, 80 per cent is the threshold for lockdowns to “end almost entirely” with only “highly-targeted” lockdowns of vulnerable communities.

Under Victoria’s reopening roadmap, released last Sunday and based on the national plan, residents will be able to have home visitors and resume community sport at 80 per cent.

The state’s roadmap also includes significantly increased patron limits for venues and ceremonies when Victoria hits the target, expected to occur on November 5.

Geelong, which went back into lockdown

along with the Surf Coast this week, reached 81.2 per cent of people aged 15 and over to have received their first dose.

When all of Victoria reaches 80 per cent first doses, expected this Sunday, this will trigger the first step of state government’s roadmap.

Under the step restrictions would remain similar for the majority of regional Victoria, with Geelong and the Surf Coast returning to restrictions similar to those prior to the most recent lockdown.

The percentage of fully-vaccinated residents in greater Geelong, which has median age of 40, increased slightly from 50.2 to 53 in the week to last Sunday.

The Surf Coast Shire had the second-highest percentage of first and second doses of all Victorian LGAs on 90.8 and 63.1 per cent respectively.

Based on current rates, the shire, which has a median age of 42, should reach the 70 per cent fully-vaccinated target within the next fortnight.

When the entire state reaches that mark, expected on October 26, public gatherings can increase to 20 people in regional Victoria.

This stage of the roadmap also includes patron limit increases for venues and ceremonies for regional Victoria, but smaller than those planned for 80 per cent.

Earthquake rocks Geelong and Victoria

Some of the members of ChixSurf13th, who are surfing every day in September for charity.

“[We] are mostly mums as well. It’s a good break for us to get out there and not be screaming at our kids.”

However, Emily said September has not been a good month for surfing.

“I reckon there’s probably only been about three days that have been good,” she said.

“But that hasn’t deterred some of us from getting out there every day.”

An earthquake reaching 5.9 on the Richter scale and originating near Mansfield shook Geelong and Victoria for up to 30 seconds on Wednesday morning.

Residents from across Geelong and the Surf Coast reported their houses shaking and windows rattling, with the quake being felt across most of Victoria and even southern NSW. The Independent received reports of tremors from as far north as Jerilderie, a small town in the NSW Riverina.

Other reports emerged of the quake being felt in Canberra.

The earthquake caused major damage to a burger shop on Chapel Street and a façade in Fitzroy.

The quake also caused minor building damage in several other Melbourne suburbs including Kensington, Ascot Vale, Prahran, Parkdale, Elsternwick, West Melbourne and Balwyn, according to VICSES. VICSES received 108 calls for assistance, primarily for damage to facades, chimneys and older buildings.

Geelong appears to have escaped any major damage, with VICSES receiving no earthquake-related callouts in the area, according an agency spokesperson.

Geoscience Australia initially recorded the earthquake at 6.0 on the Richter scale about 9.15am, before revising this to 5.9 later in the day.

The authority recorded several aftershocks ranging in magnitude from 2.5 to 4.0.

Women hang 10 for a good cause A group of Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads women have accepted the challenge of hitting the waves every day this month for charity.

The group, dubbed ChixSurf13th, has raised about $7000 so far for Surfaid’s September challenge to support basic needs and healthcare for families in remote international surfing locations.

“Originally the target was $4000, but now we’re hoping to get 10 grand as a team,” group member Emily Gardner said. “As a team, at least someone goes into the water every day.

“We have 15 in the team and eight or nine

have been out every single day, and we have surprised ourselves.”

Surfaid has so far raised more than $500,000 for the cause and ChixSurf13th is sitting in ninth place on the teams’ leaderboard.

The women have also benefited personally while supporting the cause, according to Emily.

“I’ve gone from a really fussy surfer to making the most of the conditions you have,” she said.

“It takes it back to basics where you have fun and you’re not snobby about the conditions out there. There are a lot of side benefits to getting out into the water.

Financial incentives for kinder teachers.

Red tape leaves Nicholas in limbo Nicholas Fox was ready to finally start living independently, with supervision, after his family found him a “wonderful” home and moved from Ballarat to Armstrong Creek to support his dream.

“I want to get the chance to move out and get my own place to live,” he told the Independent.

But a bureaucratic nightmare has left the 19-year-old autistic man, who also has a moderate intellectual disability, “in limbo”, according to stepmother Danielle Maughan.

“His knowledge of geography, science, trains, animals and flags of the world is incredible,” she said

‘‘

I want to move in straight away and get started - Nicholas Fox

’’

“But it’s the day-to-day living where he needs significant support.

“He’s got no sense of budgeting or the value of money, or knowing when to get groceries.

He’s got no idea where to start.”

Nicholas struggles with getting around, social interactions and unexpected situations, according to Ms Maughan.

Multiple behavioural and psychological assessments, seen by the Independent, indicate Nicholas would struggle living alone but would benefit from supported independent living (SIL).

In May the family found a “wonderful” SIL home in Torquay run by Encompass Community Services with two other residents.

“Immediately all three young men got along wonderfully,” Ms Maughan said.

“It was as if it was meant to be.”

Damien and Nicholas Fox and Danielle Maughan.

“I was really excited,” Nicholas added.

The family submitted an application to the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) through Encompass before moving to Armstrong Creek.

“From their experience of running SIL, they thought it would be a couple of weeks to get approval from the NDIA,” Ms Maughan said.

“There shouldn’t have been any doubt at all because all the experts supported the need.

“Nobody saw this being declined.”

But in July an NDIA representative phoned to advise Nicholas did “not satisfy the requirement for SIL accommodation”, Ms Maughan said.

According the agency, he had the capacity to source his own private rental or shared

accommodation with “pop-in” support, she said.

“That kind of stung,” Nicholas said.

“The fact that they declined it and said I couldn’t move in is really unfair.”

“I need supervision when I’m cooking and I can’t go shopping by myself. I can’t do it alone – I need some help.”

“We were gutted,” said Nicholas’s dad and Ms Maughan’s partner Damien Fox. “We moved here to have Nicolas’s furniture ready to move into that house and so we could be close,” Mr Fox said.

“Encompass have been fantastic. They said we were right to keep Nicholas’s items there until this is sorted, but they can’t do that forever.”

Ms Maughan phoned the NDIA throughout August demanding a written explanation for the rejection, and said she received different information.

Just weeks ago, an NDIA representative informed her that the original application “had never been processed”, she said.

“It’s just unacceptable,” she said.

“Nicholas is the one that’s suffering.”

Ms Maughan has launched an online petition in hope of securing SIL for her stepson, which has gathered more than 680 signatures.

“I want to move in straight away and get started,” Nicholas said.

An NDIA spokesperson said the agency was generally unable to comment on individual cases due to privacy issues.

“However it is important to note the NDIA continues to provide a significant level of funding for disability-related support to Mr Fox, and is working with his support network to ensure Nicholas has the disability-related supports he needs – including identifying appropriate living options,” they said.

MY GEELONG Piano Bar co-owner and multi-instrumental extraordinaire Andy Pobjoy speaks to Luke Voogt about his love of music, the nightlife and surviving – and thriving – in a global pandemic.

Tell us about you…

I was born and raised in Geelong. My mother, Jan, was a librarian, and my father, Daryl, was a high school physics teacher.

I have two children, Olive and Chet, and I live with my partner Josh in Norlane.

We love taking our two pugs, Roger and Reuben, to Bancoora Beach for a long walk off-leash.

Growing up, we spent every summer at Point Roadknight. That beach brings back many fond memories.

How did you become a musician?

My family isn’t all that musical, however, when I was 10, I decided that I wanted music lessons.

My parents enrolled me in weekly group lessons at Blackley’s Musicland in Moorabool Street with seven other kids. Imagine the noise and chaos!

It was there with my first teacher, Jenny Blackley, that I developed my love of music.

I continued my musical journey at Christian College Highton, playing the oboe, flute and saxophone in school bands.

When I turned 16, Darren Holroyd gave our band Resurge our first Saturday night gig at The Geelong Hotel.

What an eye-popping experience at that age for a church boy like me!

We started working a few nights a week, with a Friday night residency at The Wild Westcoast Saloon with Stewie Harrison in Geelong, and gigs all over regional Victoria.

So many road trips, dodgy country motor inns, hangovers and hilarious mishaps along the way.

How are you coping with COVID-19?

When COVID-19 hit, Piano Bar immediately pivoted online, and we have since performed in about 400 livestreams with more than a million views.

We also built a portable shipping container bar for outdoor performances.

Whilst I have personally remained very positive, as a business we are growing increasingly weary of the ever-changing and onerous restrictions placed upon us.

We have essentially become ‘mall cops’ enforcing mask-wearing and no-dancing rules while striving for the best customer experience possible.

This places a huge strain on our already-stretched resources.

Nevertheless, our amazing team, led by my business partner Aaron Skinner, continues to face the challenges head-on and we remain extremely excited about Piano Bar’s future.

How did Piano Bar come about?

In 2014 I began performing on cruise ships, which opened my eyes to the potential of a “true piano bar”.

The audience was so diverse in age, background and taste, but what really brought them together was the songs, and

the memories they bring.

When I first pitched the idea of Piano Bar to friends and family, there were plenty of nay-sayers.

However, once we opened our original tiny 50-seat venue, the floodgates opened and I realised we had stumbled onto something massive.

Since then, we have expanded twice in Geelong, and opened Piano Bars in Colac, Ballarat and Bendigo.

What are your favourite things to do locally?

My local café is Bear and Scoobs in North Geelong. I love their big breakfast and vanilla slices. A small, strong latte is my daily ritual.

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

Whilst figuring out a career path in my 20s, I studied information systems at Federation University and Deakin University, and later undertook theological training at Ridley College and Charles Sturt University, hence my nickname: ‘The Reverend’.

I misplace my wallet and keys almost daily, and I’m a sucker for a single malt whisky.

CREATING A CLEVER AND CREATIVE FUTURE FOR GREATER GEELONG

CITYNEWS WE’RE MONITORING OUR WEATHER TOGETHER Weather buffs across the region are helping us improve the accuracy of local weather data after volunteering to host weather sensors at their home or workplace.

With a huge response to our call-out for participants in the Weather Together project, we’re well on our way to better understanding local weather patterns.

The smart sensors will record temperature and humidity in different parts of the city where climate can vary significantly, and transmit this information to our open data platform - Geelong Data Exchange.

Currently, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has two local weather observation

stations - one at Avalon and one at the Geelong Racecourse. The new data network will assist us and weather-sensitive industries including agriculture to study real-time variations at the hyper-local level.

In turn, the data will provide a better understanding of how our climate is changing and support us to respond to extreme weather events and environmental issues.

To find out more and view the current weather data visit geelongaustralia.com.au/ smartcity To register your interest to host a weather sensor in the future, contact us at smartcity@geelongcity.vic.gov.au

Duplication to begin next month

By Luke Voogt The long-awaited duplication of Barwon Heads Road has moved a step closer with preliminary works underway for construction to begin in October.

This month crews will continue road widening, boundary fencing, utility relocations and site establishment works in preparation for the duplication.

According to both state and federal governments, the duplication will create 500 local jobs and about 1400 indirect jobs.

“Projects like this are vital to our local

economic recovery,” South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman said.

In a joint statement today state and federal governments announced a trio of construction companies, Decmil, BMD Constructions and BildGroup, would build the project in partnership with Major Road Projects Victoria.

The first upgrade will add new lanes for about four kilometres of Barwon Heads Road between Settlement and Reserve roads.

The works also include a new bridge to replace a “dangerous” level crossing at Marshall, improving safety and traffic flow, and upgrades to intersections at Settlement and

Breakwater roads. Crews will also install new traffic signals Crows, Barwarre, Marshalltown and Reserve roads.

Victorian Transport Infrastructure Minister Jacinta Allan said the upgrade would help ensure Barwon Heads Road could cater for 44,000 daily journeys expected by 2031.

Ms Allan said the duplication was part of a suite of major projects in greater Geelong, which has the largest population growth in regional Victoria.

Federal Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce said the upgrade

would improve traffic flow on the crucial link between Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and the growing Armstrong Creek area.

The upgrade also includes on-road cycling lanes and an off-road shared pedestrian and cycling paths, allowing better connections to Waurn Ponds Trail, South Barwon Reserve, Belmont Common and the Barwon River.

Federal Victorian senator Sarah Henderson said the much-needed upgrade would reduce travel times and improve safety for students and cyclists through better pathways and cycling lanes.

Plans for historic cottage Marshall’s 155-year-old bluestone cottage has almost disappeared as specialist contractors dismantle the historic building following a community campaign to save it from demolition.

Initially Major Road Projects Victoria had planned to demolish the cottage to make way for the Barwon Heads Road duplication and reuse some materials to build “heritage interpretive works”, which campaigners labelled a “zombie memorial”. But Marshall Bluestone Cottage Community Group’s 800-person petition convinced the road authority to instead dismantle and rebuild the cottage elsewhere.

“There’s been such a groundswell of support.People that want the cottage rebuilt and repurposed,” group president Virginia Johnson said.

The group is calling for the building to be relocated to JF Field Park, diagonally opposite to its current location.

The duplication and improved cycling

and walking paths will increase access to the historic cottage, according to Ms Johnson.

“It’s a highly visible site, just like where it is now, it’s got great access and it keeps the heritage factors intact,” she said.

Contractors have removed and stored slate, bricks and bluestone blocks to rebuild the cottage, which Ms Johnson said could become a gateway to more than 20 historic sites across Marshall and Charlemont.

In June, Geelong council voted unanimously to investigate new locations for the cottage with council officers to present a report by December. The cottage could also serve as a gallery, a mini museum, a school excursion destination and, if rebuilt in time, a venue for Geelong Design Week next September, according to Ms Johnson.

“We would love that,” she said. “There are so many creatives seeking a venue to showcase their designs.”

The devastating blazes of 2019 and 2020 which swept across Australia are the motive behind this star-studded six-part anthology series. Co-creator/executive producer Tony Ayres (Glitch) wanted to tell the real stories of the people affected “so that we never forget what they went through and always remember our responsibility for change.” In tonight’s premiere, volunteer firefighters Tash (Eliza Scanlen) and Mott (Hunter Page-Lochard, pictured) nearly lose their lives, but form a bond.

Whether you are a history buff who delights in every little detail or someone who feels like watching something different to a reality TV or game show tonight, you should probably get your nerves in check. As British historian and veteran TV presenter Dan Snow warns, with foreboding music flooding our ears: “We’ll be telling the story in minute-by-minute detail”.

Using archival footage and real-life recreations of critical moments, Snow and his co-presenter Kate Humble (pictured) examine three pivotal days during WWII, when the British air force was bombarded by Hitler’s Luftwaffe. It’s a very theatrical, high-impact history lesson.

Opportunities galore at Geelong High School

Geelong High School equips students with the skills needed for the real world.

identify and build on their character strengths to deal with life’s challenges,” says Mr Davey.

“Whilst at Geelong High School, you will be presented with opportunities to be involved in a wide range of cultural, academic, community and recreational pursuits and to exercise your ‘student voice’ within and outside the classroom.

“Leadership, student voice and agency

are an integral part of the school culture.”

Leadership is actively encouraged and celebrated at all levels with students taking opportunities to lead as school captains, in sports, performing arts, sustainability and more.

“Students enjoy their opportunity to influence and be involved in the decision-making processes of the school, and

take responsibility for their learning.” Mr Davey says.

Geelong High School looks forward to working with you as you prepare for life.

Located at 385 Ryrie Street, East Geelong, you can find more information at www.geelonghigh.vic.edu.au or by phoning (03) 5225 4100.

Last year, Geelong High School’s VCE Class of 2020 thought, like most students in most schools, that 2020 would be one to remember.

Fast forward almost twelve months, and history has certainly repeated itself. Despite the tough circumstances, Principal Glenn Davey admires the efforts and strength of this year’s Year 12 cohort.

“They have completed their entire VCE studies through the global pandemic, enduring periods of remote learning, and great uncertainty,” Principal Davey says.

A major redevelopment over recent years is providing a welcome boost to the school environment and its commitment to students.

Mr Davey explains that the school is proud to deliver on its commitment, and believes in its vision of being a positive and creative learning community that embraces its history and prepares students for life.

“When you enrol at Geelong High School, you are joining a learning community that is both positive and creative, with a long history of excellence and innovation,” he says.

Children are encouraged to think critically at Nazareth Catholic Primary School.

(Pictures: Supplied)

Journey of wonder and awe Nazareth Catholic Primary School views children as capable and competent. It values an educational environment which empowers the child to thrive with the ability to achieve multiple learning outcomes in a variety of contexts. This means as a learning community, it asks lots of questions, continually probes thinking and does a lot of talking, as it grapples with new knowledge within its own existing worldview. The focus is on the process of learning which is situated in the child’s particular place and time. This approach enables the child to contribute at his or her point of interest and need, developing theories about how they see things.

Why has Nazareth begun investigating and applying some of these ideas for learning? As a society, our mission is great. We need to ensure we are developing critical thinkers who are both entrepreneurial and flexible. Education needs to continue to adapt and change to the needs of the world around us. This means we must encourage the child to think outside of the box and to experience success and challenges in a

psychologically safe environment which fosters taking risks and making mistakes. We need to be open to the child, to learn from the child, and ensure learning is authentic and situated in his or her own context. We need the child to experience learning that is connected to him or her.

Where do other areas of the curriculum fit?

All areas of the curriculum can be found in this model of learning. Staff and students work together to develop thinking which sees the child applying and learning new knowledge which is not bound by a particular learning block. While the school values this Discovery time, Nazareth engages in timetabled explicit Literacy, Maths, Religious Education and Italian learning across the school day.

The school’s next Information Evening will be held on Tuesday 15th March, 2022.

Discover early childhood education the Finnish way Geelong parents and carers now have the opportunity to provide their children with the choice of attending one of two excellent early learning centres, each modelled on the Finnish curriculum - widely regarded as the world’s best.

Lisa Blackwell, who holds an Advanced Diploma of Children’s Services and has worked in the Early Childhood profession for more than two decades, is director at each of the centres.

HEI Schools ELC in Lara opened in December 2019, and the second, ILO EEC in Norlane, launched in October last year. Lisa explains the preschool model adhered to at both centres.

“The international preschool concept originated in Finland, co-founded by the University of Helsinki by experienced educational and design experts,” she says.

“The model embraces Nordic values of accessibility and openness, which, by the way, are very likely to be part of the reason that, once again, Finland was ranked #1 in the UN’s 2020 World Happiness Report.

“At both HEI (which means ’Hi!’ in Finnish) and ILO (which means ’Joy’ in Finnish), we believe learning happens everywhere. The centres focus on providing a rich foundation for the progress of children’s emotional development, skills and competence as active learners.

“We introduce children to adventuring, exploring and discovering new things and using different skills as part of their whole learning process.

“We value a child’s perspective, creativity and play, exploration, encouragement and social and emotional skills.”

The large, beautifully designed centres cater for children aged from 12 weeks to five years old. HEI Schools Lara ELC has the capacity to cater for 131 children, while ILO Norlane EEC has the capacity to cater for 122 children.

Good handwriting is vital to literacy A recent study has investigated the links between handwriting and other literacy skills in young children, finding that handwriting automaticity, or fluency, predicted writing quality and reading skills a year later.

The researchers warn that a shift to “paperless schools” does not have strong empirical support and that it could potentially have a negative impact on students’ literacy.

Dr Anabela Malpique of Murdoch University and associate professor Deborah Pino-Pasternak of University of Canberra conducted the study, which involved 154 students and 24 teachers across seven Perth schools. They wanted to understand the effect handwriting automaticity has on children’s later literacy skills.

“A growing body of research argues specific cognitive benefits of handwriting during early childhood, including brain development, working memory, translation of thought-to-script, and overall writing quality and production.”

Despite the widespread use of technology and the current digital literacy agenda, handwriting plays a unique and fundamental role in writing development. Anecdotally described as “thinking with a pencil”, handwriting involves the integration of visual-perceptual, fine and gross motor skills with cognition While it might be tempting to dismiss the importance of handwriting as simply cosmetic, handwriting in fact underpins many higher functions of writing.

The researchers note that poor handwriting automaticity hinders vocabulary selection, ideation and revision, while also affecting motivation, writing development and, in turn, academic success.

Automatic letter writing has been found to be the best unique predictor of the writing

Handwriting plays a fundamental role in writing development.

skills of early developing writers, theoretically supported by the notion that the translation of ideas into written text relies heavily on the writers’ ability to retrieve alphabet letters in memory and produce these letter forms efficiently, legibly, and automatically.

Of particular concern to the researchers were the teaching practices reported. Year 1 students spent less than 50 minutes per day practicing writing, which is the minimum recommended, while across the board there was great variability in the time students spent on writing. Writing time and instruction ranged from 30 to 120 minutes per week.

The researchers also note that Australian teachers may be focusing too much on basic

skills rather than teaching writing processes such as planning for writing and learning strategies to revise the quality of their texts.

“This may be problematic since research with primary students suggests that writing instruction in early education should include the teaching of basic writing skills and the teaching of writing processes in the same instructional protocol.”

The researchers conducting the research were also assisted by Dr Magda Sofia Roberto, their statistical consultant.

FRIDAY FEATURE

Forerunners of women’s rights Next Wednesday marks 130 years since hundreds of Geelong suffragettes joined 33,000 across Victoria in demanding that Australian women have the right to vote. Geelong historian Doctor Peter Mansfield looks back at some of the local women involved in the campaign for equal rights.

B

y September 1891, more than 33,000 Victorian women, including up to 2000 from Geelong, had signed a petition demanding the right to vote.

The signatures came in response to Victorian Premier and Geelong MP James Munro’s promise earlier that year to endorse any petition that demonstrated women supported the cause.

The Women’s Christian Temperance Union and the Women’s Suffrage Society took up the challenge.

In a few months they collected 33,000 signatures from women throughout the colony, including the premier’s wife Jane Munro.

The 260-metre-long Women’s Suffrage Petition, referred to as the ‘monster petition’ due to its size, required several attendants to carry it into parliament when it was tabled on September 29, 1891 – 130 years ago next Wednesday.

‘‘

Man is the sturdy oak and woman is the clinging vine - Politician, 1891

’’

Premier Munro was a “colourful” character and might have hoped to win the ensuing debate by the force of his personality alone.

But many in the all-male parliament opposed his stance, thinking that giving women the vote would cause widespread “domestic unrest”.

“If wives would be differing from their husbands politically, this would create heart burnings in families, where happiness previously abode,” one politician stated.

Another politician stated, “man is the sturdy oak and woman is the clinging vine”.

These chauvinistic sentiments and backroom politicking caused parliament, and later the local press, to more or less bury the petition.

A local paper published just one paragraph stating the women were “very disappointed that Premier Munro had withdrawn the suffrage provision from the Amended Constitution Bill then before the parliament”.

Finally, 17 years later in 1908, Victorian women gained the right to vote when the last of 19 private member’s bills for women’s suffrage during that time passed on November 18.

The 1891 petition, now housed in the Public Record Office Victoria, remains as a testament to the Geelong women who ultimately laid the groundwork for their descendants to win the right to vote.

Leopold mother-of-13 Ellen Dean signed the petition along with at least four daughters: Mary Jane, Louise, Emma and Sarah.

She and husband Daniel arrived at Point Henry on July 24, 1854, aboard the Maria Hay after migrating from England with eldest daughter Mary Ann, then an infant.

Ironically, one of her daughters, Sarah, signed under the name of her husband as ‘Mrs John Humphries’, as did fellow Geelong signatory Barbara Gardiner.

‘Mrs William Gardiner’ died in 1894, three years after signing the petition, with death notices and burial records revealling her true name.

Barbara was just one of many signatories who died before their dream of equal rights became a reality.

Alice Farrow, the youngest of 13 children, was 21 when she signed the petition, but drowned in 1903.

A staunch Methodist, her friends wrote that she had been “called home” following her tragic death.

Anne Cargeeg died two months after signing the petition. She was a 34-year-old single woman who lived at home with her parents in Pakington Street, Chilwell.

(J Lockwood) Right: Victorian Premier James Munro was unable to get the Women’s Suffrage Petition through parliament in 1891. (State Library Victoria)

Elizabeth Haggar lived on the Bellarine Peninsula. When she died in 1893, her obituary said she was “an old lady resident of the district” at 63-years-old.

Jessie Parsons died in January 1892 – five months after signing the petition. She was 53 and a mother-of-six. She was interred at Queenscliff Cemetery.

Georgina Payne was 29 when she died in 1894 after giving birth to her sixth child.

Mary Ann Thornycroft was 66 when she signed the petition. She died in July 1898 and was interred in the ‘unknown’ section of the Portarlington Cemetery.

But many others lived on to witness the change they campaigned so determinedly for, like Rebecca Adams, who died in 1916 after “years of heart troubles.”

Mary Elizabeth Pawsey was 40 when she and her three daughters signed the petition. Mary was born in Norfolk, England, in 1851, and

died in Geelong in 1941 at the age of 90.

Her husband owned a drapery business on Moorabool Street and her family lived on Virginia Street, Newtown, and were members of the Congregational Church.

Sarah Parkinson and Mary Proctor were among the oldest signatories, both at 68-years-old.

Conversely, Elizabeth Grace Jacka was only 18 when she signed, and Alice Galbraith was 21.

Ms Jacka’s parents lived at Mount Duneed, but her address was Virginia Street, Newtown, which suggests she was a housemaid.

Years later she married “a good catch and popular sportsman” Fred Bedggood. She died in 1941 and was interred alongside her parents in Highton Cemetery and her daughter Dorothy Grace, who died in infancy.

Ms Galbraith appears to have been one of the longest surviving petitioners. She was born in 1871 and died at her home in Weller Street, Geelong West, in 1956. She was interred with her mother in the Western Cemetery.

Local theatre banished – for now

By Luke Voogt The Big Bad Wolf and Little Riding Red Hood have been banished from the Potato Shed amid COVID-19 restrictions.

But the beloved children’s characters are set to return this summer to explore and prowl the Shed.

The children’s play is one of several shows that the venue rescheduled after Geelong went back into lockdown this week.

“It’s probably for the best rather than rushing and not making it the best it could be,” said Clifton Springs actress Chantelle Gourlay, who plays the title role in Little Red Riding Hood.

“I’m so excited to do it when it’s safer for everyone.”

The 23-year-old had hoped to return to the stage in the production after a four-year break to study a bachelor (and honours) in creative writing after finishing high school.

She took the course to broaden her skills but said acting had always been her first love.

“Acting can be a very difficult field to get into,” she explained. “I’m glad I did that but now I’m like, ‘I need to go back and do what I enjoy and give studying a bit of a break’.”

Gourlay admitted she chose a challenging time to get back into theatre.

“When I was talking about it with a friend they said, ‘are you crazy?’” she said.

But she said the pandemic had also opened up new ways of creating theatre, like livestreams and outdoor shows.

Organisers had initially planned to hold several productions of Little Red Riding Hood beginning next Tuesday on the Potato Shed’s outdoor stage, purpose-built for the pandemic.

Now set for the summer school holidays, the play could take place either inside or outside, based on restrictions and weather.

“I’ve never done an outdoor show before – it would be really interesting to see how it works,” Gourlay said.

And children’s plays are the perfect testing ground for the young actress.

“The goal is to do bigger musical theatre productions,” she said. “But I really like interacting with the kids because they’re always funny and they make me laugh.

“If you break character to laugh, you can kind of cover it up, because it’s a bit over-the-top anyway.

“The kids will yell out and they give you something to work with.

“So it’s really good to practice if something unexpected happens: how do you deal with that

while remaining in character? And if they like you, or don’t, they will tell you.”

Gourlay had a role in a local children’s production of The Emperor’s New Clothes in 2015 before her hiatus from acting.

“A lot of children’s plays have music in them and they’re very over-the-top and theatrical,” she said.

“I always seem to be playing a fairytale character, which I love. I think I just like being a big kid to be honest.”

In a twist on the original Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf might not be the villain they appear to be, Gourlay hinted.

“It’s a lot more child-friendly than the

original. It’s not going to traumatise any two-year-olds,” she said.

Gourlay had just restarted rehearsals last week before Geelong went into its latest lockdown.

But despite the postponement, she said her love of theatre remained and she looked forward to performing this summer instead.

“I can already see how happy it makes me to be onstage.”

Potato Shed manager Rob MacLeod this week confirmed the venue had postponed several productions until summer.

“It’s sad but we need to follow the guidelines,” he said.

Sing a Song of Sixpence has moved from October 8 to February 6, 2022, while Dahlin’ – The Jeanne Little Show, Colin Mockett’s History of Rock and Roll and Peter Sullivan Does Elton and Liberace have also been postponed until next year, with dates to be confirmed.

But MacLeod said the Shed had begun planning in hope of resuming performances in November.

He encouraged locals to visit geelongaustralia. com.au/potatoshed online and check the Independent for updates.

“We’re going to bounce back with new and exciting shows and activities for everyone to help them through this tough time,” he said.

Genuine Geelong hero

Water storages promising

It was deeply moving to read about Libbie Arnott’s dedication to providing foster care to children and young people in need: ‘Joy in caring for vulnerable kids’, Geelong Independent, September 17.

Libbie’s devotion to this incredibly important work makes her a genuine local Geelong hero.

Without caring foster parents like her, many children and young people in our region would face a future without hope and opportunity.

I was extremely disappointed though, to read that foster carers like Libbie face financial strain due to the under-funding of essential support services as well as struggles dealing with state government’s child protection system.

This situation needs urgent improvement so that everyone like Libbie who offers this wonderful care will be provided with all the support and encouragement necessary to undertake this vital lifechanging work.

Robert Van Zetten Highton

There is some very good news amongst all the gloom and doom surrounding the continuing spread of COVID-19.

Geelong’s water storages are at over 91 per cent capacity following good winter rain, up by more than 23 per cent on this time last year.

This means little possibility of any water restrictions being imposed on residents this summer.

Water is, however, a finite resource, and should always be used wisely.

Michael J Gamble Belmont

Marshall Bluestone Cottage Community Group are looking forward to the promised works by Major Road Projects Victoria and City of Greater Geelong to promptly find a new home where this significant building can be rebuilt and become a public asset.

The improved roads and connection to shared use paths and cycle lanes will place ‘Marshall Town History House’ in a highly-visible position at J F Field Reserve, a wonderful result for community.

Win for historic cottage

Farmer a ‘real’ environmentalist

The much-needed Barwon Heads Road upgrade will improve the traffic flow and deliver a safer and more reliable journey.

Congratulations are extended to all collaborating levels of government and construction partners in designing and developing this vital project.

The heritage McAteer bluestone cottage has now been taken down and the slates, bricks and bluestones have been carefully stored on pallets.

A western Victorian farmer has won a national award. It wasn’t for the biggest cow, or the finest wool, or the purest olive oil.

Andrew Steward won the recognition for his environmental efforts. In winning the 2020 Bob Hawke Landcare Award, the Deans Marsh farmer put a spotlight on the original and best carers of our land – our farmers.

Farmers are the true environmentalists and do far more for conservation than any self-professed inner-city environmentalist.

Mr Stewart is the real thing. His 230-hectare regenerative grazing and agroforestry property hosts 50,000 trees and shrubs – each there because of his effort.

The additional vegetation helps protect livestock and pasture, nutrient cycling and waterways. Very importantly, it provides habitat for wildlife including an extraordinary 113 bird species.

It improves ecological functionality on farms – that is farms and nature working hand-in-hand – and achieves long-term food and fibre security.

Now that’s something worth applauding, and I was proud to do so in parliament.

My congratulations to Mr Stewart for leading the way.

Bev McArthur Member for Western Victoria

MOTOR

A vibrant drive from Hyundai

By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Hyundai has a strong lineup of models in its Kona series – everything from a relatively basic petrol engined models all the way up to a full electric. Much as we enjoy getting behind the wheel of any electric car, this week’s road test review is the Kona Elite variant.

At $31,600 plus on-road costs it’s far more affordable than the (gulp) $64,000 Highlander Extended Range full-electric model.

AT A GLANCE DIMENSIONS, WEIGHT AND CAPACITIES:

Styling

Length: 4205 mm

Kona is a cross between a hatchback and an SUV in its shape. The protection around the wheels arches adds to the SUV look. The body is stylish without going over the top. We particularly like the front with its high-level daytime running lights and the low-slung headlights.

Ground clearance is 170mm which is higher than the typical on-road hatchback but falls well short of the 210mm in “real” four-wheel drives. That 170mm does add to the appearance, though.

Wheelbase: 2600 mm Width: 1800 mm Height: 1550 mm Turning Circle: 10.6 metres Kerb Mass: 1280 kg Fuel Tank Capacity: 50 litres BRAKES: Front: Ventilated disc

Safety

Hyundai Kona Elite has fascinating frontal styling with the unusual arrangement of the lights.

All Kona variants have received five stars from ANCAP. It has six airbags, forward collision warning, lane keeping assist and lane-following assist.

The Kona Elite model also has blind-spot warning, rear cross traffic alert and safe-exit warning. The automatic emergency braking recognises cars, pedestrians and cyclists at low and high speeds. It also has rear occupant alert in case you’ve forgotten there are kids in the back seats when you get out. No doubt it has happened somewhere sometime.

(Pictures: Supplied)

Driving Let’s get to the CVT automatic straight away as that’s what friends have been asking me about

due to my previous complaints about CVTs in other cars. There’s good news, as Hyundai’s engineers have got it pretty well sorted out and have given it a feeling of having preset ratios, it did jar a little but we soon ceased to notice what was happening under the bonnet.

You can sort of use it as a manual by changing ‘gears’ if you feel that way inclined.

After trying this we simply left if to do its own thing.

There’s less room in rear seat of the Kona than we had expected, meaning I had to move my driving seat forward a couple of notches to provide knee room for anyone behind me.

The Koreans have a long history of tuning their cars to suit Australian roads and what we Aussie drivers like in the way of handling and comfort.

Kona is obviously not a sports car but does hold on nicely during cornering and gives good feedback through the steering wheel and your backside.

It’s a bit noisy on gravel road and there’s some bump-thump on concrete road joins such as those on our road test section on the M1 motorway between Gold Coast and Brisbane.

Fuel consumption during our test period was

Rear: Solid disc

in the 8-to-10 litres per hundred kilometres in town and suburban driving.

It fell to five-to-six litres per hundred on country and motorway testing.

All Hyundais have a five-year/ unlimited-kilometre warranty and a lifetime capped-price-servicing plan.

Summing up The updated Hyundai Kona Elite is a pleasant car that’s easy to live with. We feel the added ‘extras’ now fitted as standard, particular in the safety features makes it a must on your short list of cars to be seriously considered.

Roadmap ends local finals hope Victoria’s new reopening roadmap has ended hopes of local football and netball finals going ahead, with AFL Barwon confirming their cancellation on Sunday.

The state government’s Roadmap to Deliver the National Plan, released on Sunday, states that community sport will return in regional Victoria once the state reaches 80 per cent of people over 16 fully vaccinated.

The roadmap outlines an indicative date of November 5 for this, leaving insufficient time for the football and netball seasons to conclude in 2021.

“It’s disappointing that we couldn’t finish

what we started in 2021 after all the work put in by the clubs this season,” AFL Barwon acting region general manager Sean Atkinson said.

“It has been a challenging year for all the club volunteers who need to be commended for their tireless work to allow participants to play football and netball.

“The AFL Barwon Commission has endeavoured to keep the season going to try to get a conclusion, however the decision was eventually made by the Victorian Government and the Chief Health Officer.

“I am extremely proud of the AFL Barwon staff for their excellent commitment and

hard work throughout a difficult time for our community.

“Whilst it’s disappointing that competitions couldn’t be finished for season 2021, we have always been guided by the government’s health advice.”

AFL Barwon leagues had already lost several rounds of competition this year due to COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions.

Atkinson thanked AFL Barwon’s partners, players, officials, volunteers, and supporters for their continued support throughout the 2021 season.

“We look forward to having everyone back

for a bigger and better season 2022,” he said.

The AFL Barwon Commission is still considering whether or not to award recognition to top-ranked sides in the absence of finals. The commission expects to announce a decision in coming weeks.

Cancelled competitions: • Geelong Football and Netball League • Bellarine Football and Netball League • All Colac & District Football and Netball League • All AFL Barwon senior women’s football, junior football and netball

Narkle happy to stick with Geelong Promising young midfielder Quinton Narkle has agreed to another year at Kardinia Park.

Geelong Cats on Monday announced the 23-year-old had agreed to a one-year contract extension with the club.

Geelong initially selected Narkle, who hails from Western Australia, at pick 60 in the 2016 national draft.

Narkle had played for West Australian Football League club Perth Demons and represented his state at the AFL under 18 championships.

But he has battled knee injuries over his

career, playing 33 games and kicking 14 goals since his AFL debut in 2018.

In 2021 he played a career-high 16 games, including seven starting as medical sub, collecting a total of 215 possessions.

He had a career-best 34 disposals in Geelong’s round 10 win over the Gold Coast Suns.

Narkle was last selected as an unused medical sub in round 22 and omitted during the finals, including after fellow midfielder Brandan Parfitt tore his hamstring against GWS Giants in the semi-final.

He will hope for more opportunities next

season as the Cats analyse their midfield after Melbourne smashed them in the centre of the ground during their 83-point preliminary final loss.

“The club is excited that Quinton has committed to 2022 and we believe he will play a significant role,” Geelong Cats football general manager Simon Lloyd said. “While there has been speculation about Quinton potentially leaving, our conversations throughout the year have been extremely positive.”

Cam Guthrie topped Geelong’s Brownlow Medal count polling 18 votes on Sunday, the highest tally of his career, to finish 13th in the AFL. The 2020 Carji Greeves medallist had another good season in 2021, playing 20 home-and-away games and averaging 29 disposals.

Captain Joel Selwood was the second-highest finishing Cat with nine votes and two three-point best-afield performances.

All-Australian defender Tom Stewart earned eight votes for the season, after missing the last two rounds due to a foot injury.

Patrick Dangerfield, who was ineligible for the award due to a round 1 suspension, gathered six votes to move to third on the all-time Brownlow votes list.

Dangerfield won the award in 2016 and has tallied 230 votes in his career so far, behind fellow Brownlow medallists Gary Ablett Jnr (262) and Gary Dempsey (246).

Jeremy Cameron, Tom Hawkins and Brandan Parfitt all joined Dangerfield on six votes.

The Cats and the GWS Giants were the only two clubs with seven players polling six votes or higher.

The Cats were the fifth-highest polling club with 82 total votes.

Stalwart Enright leaves Cattery for new challenge at St Kilda After playing 332 games for Geelong Cats and five years as an assistant coach at the club, Corey Enright will depart Kardinia Park for St Kilda.

Enright reminisced on more than two decades in the navy and white hoops as he announced the move.

“I’m thankful to have been able to spend such a long time at a special place – the Geelong Football Club,” Enright said.

“When I first walked in the doors 22 years ago, I could not have dreamed of having such a great experience here.

“The club holds so many great memories. We were able to achieve a lot of success and seeing the joy that gave people was special.

30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 24 September, 2021

“I have been given opportunities to be myself, to grow and contribute in so many ways.

“The biggest thing that I take away though, are the friendships and relationships that have been built through this journey. These will remain forever and are so special.

“I am so thankful to have had such a great experience with the club. While it’s always hard to say goodbye, I am excited by the challenge that lies ahead.

“My family have always been so supportive and I thank them for allowing me to grow my experience as a coach.”

Geelong Cats football general manager Simon Lloyd recognised Enright’s contribution to the club.

“Corey is held in the highest standing by everyone at the club, and has made an incredible contribution to the club as a player, coach and a person over 22 years,” Lloyd said.

“We understand that Corey is looking to grow his experience by working in a different program as he advances in his coaching career.

“He is obviously one of the greatest and most important people in the club’s history.

We have been fortunate to have him as such an important member of our club for so long.

“The club will be eternally gratefully for everything that Corey has done for the team, the club and the community. We wish Corey, Renee and the family all the best in the future.”

Enright retired after the 2016 season as the

club’s all-time games record holder, a mark Joel Selwood only just surpassed two weeks ago.

Known as Boris by his teammates, Enright won two Carji Greeves Medals, earned six All Australian blazers and was a key part of three premiership-winning teams.

After retiring Enright immediately joined the Cats as a coach and he has since helped the club reach the finals in each of his seasons in the box.

Most recently Geelong’s forward coach, Enright will move to the Saints as a defence coach in 2022.

The Cats are assessing potential candidates to replace Enright and the also recently departed Matthew Knights.

SPORT Geelong to host national senior cricket comp

Geelong overs 60s cricketer Chris Carr in action for Australia in 2017.

More than 1000 veteran cricketers from across Australia and New Zealand will descend on Geelong in November 2022 for the Over 60s National Cricket Championships.

Geelong Cricket Association president Rob Vines on Tuesday announced a joint local bid had won the right to host the event from November 27 to December 1, 2022.

“With over 1000 visitors involved in the Over 60s National Cricket Championships, we are confident that it will give a boost to the Barwon region economy,” he said.

The Geelong, Bellarine Peninsula and Colac and District cricket associations, Geelong Cricket Club and Geelong Veterans Cricket

Club, known previously Geelong Seniors Cricket Club, joined forces to secure the event.

Their submission was successful ahead of other strong bids from regional Victoria, according to Vines.

“Our strong consortium bid was underpinned by the commitment of clubs across the Barwon region to prepare grounds and make facilities available for the duration of the championships, and the organising committee is grateful for their enthusiastic response,” he said.

“The success of our bid is also testament to the strong collegiate relationship between the various cricket bodies across the Barwon

Scarlett takes his leave

region. The joint bid committee is also grateful for the ongoing support received from the City of Greater Geelong through Geelong Major Events.”

The championships will draw veteran cricket players, umpires, organisers and supporters from across Australia for five days of “cricket and camaraderie”, according to organisers.

The Barwon region organising committee will soon commence work with Veterans Cricket Victoria to plan logistics for the major event.

Player move whispers begin

Matthew Scarlett at training in 2016, when he began coaching at Geelong Cats.

By Luke Voogt Legendary Geelong Cats backman Matthew Scarlett has confirmed he is stepping away from his role as an assistant coach.

“It has been an incredible journey, much more than I could ever have hoped for when I joined the club,” Scarlett said yesterday.

“I have enjoyed coaching, but the time is right to take a break. The relationships I have formed over my time at the club will remain with me forever.

“I would like to thank the club, the coaches I have worked with and the players for making it such an enjoyable experience.

“I will really miss the ‘misfits’ – a great

group to work with. I wish the club success in the future.”

Geelong Cats football general manager Simon Lloyd paid tribute to Scarlett’s contribution to the club.

“Matthew has enjoyed huge success as both a player and as coach at the club, and we wish he and his family well in his future,” Lloyd said.

“Matthew has always sought to make the Geelong Football Club better, both as a player and in his role as a member of the coaching staff.

“There is no doubt that many players improved greatly under his guidance.

“Matthew has barely had any time outside

the game over the past 23 years, most of which have been here at GMHBA Stadium. His contribution to the club has been enormous.”

Scarlett enjoyed a stellar career in the navy and white hoops, earning an induction into the Australian football hall of fame in 2018.

He played 284 games, and is a triple premiership player, a best and fairest winner and a six-time All-Australian.

Scarlett has spent the past eight seasons coaching at the club, first as a development coach and then as an assistant since 2016.

The Cats have reached the finals in each of the past six seasons and have regularly been among the highest rated defensive teams in the AFL.

Speculation continued this week over the future of Geelong speedster Jordan Clark and versatile tall Nathan Kreuger with the pair yet to sign new contracts.

Clark is likely to request a trade to Fremantle after meeting with coach Justin Longmuir last week, according to multiple reports.

Reports also emerged this week that Kreuger is expected to join Collingwood on a three-year deal after requesting a trade from the Cats.

Rhys Stanley, Brad Close, Gary Rohan and Zach Guthrie are on the verge of new deals with the Cats, according to afl.com.au, with Charlie Constable yet to re-sign with Geelong.

Constable played just three AFL games in 2021, despite strong form in the VFL. Oscar Brownless and Stefan Okunbor also remain unsigned.

A Geelong Cats spokesperson declined to comment any of the club’s out-of-contract players.

Cook heads for Carlton as Jenkins retires Brian Cook will take over as chief executive officer of Carlton Football Club after more than two decades with the Cats, the Blues announced last week.

After taking West Coast from an AFL start-up to a two-time premiership powerhouse, Cook then completed a remarkable turnaround of the Geelong Football Club. Cats president Craig Drummond thanked the out-going CEO for his 23 years’ service to the club.

“The club has enjoyed an incredible period of success under Brian’s stewardship, both on and off the field,” Drummond said.

“When he arrived the stadium was crumbling, the club had crippling debt and there had not been a premiership since 1963.

“But since Brian joined the club, we have seen our greatest period of sustained on-field success, an almost complete rebuild of GMHBA Stadium, massive reduction of debt, a significantly enhanced positive impact on the community, record membership and the introduction of our women’s football program.

“The club is vastly different to the one he walked into all those years ago, and we can never properly thank him for all he has done during his tenure.”

Cook will commence at the Blues, who finished 13th this season, in mid-October.

“Brian is the longest serving CEO in the history of the game, and he loves a challenge,” Drummond said. “He is excited about taking

the reigns at Carlton and we wish him well in that role.”

Geelong forward Josh Jenkins will also leave the club after announcing his retirement from AFL football last Friday.

Jenkins finishes his career with 149 games and 296 goals.

He played twice with the Cats, facing his previous clubs Essendon and Adelaide. Jenkins booted 25 goals in the VFL in 2021.

He finished third in the Crows best and fairest in 2018 when he was the team’s leading goal-kicker and was a member of Adelaide’s 2017 grand final line up.

Geelong also last week announced the delisting of Ben Jarvis and Cam Taheny.
