Creativity in motion Scarlet Sykes-Hesterman shared her stop motion skills with Anglesea kids on Sunday at a favourite artistic venue from her own childhood. “My grandmother lives in Anglesea, so I’ve come down since I was born and I’ve been going to the Anglesea Art House since I was a kid,” she said. The 23-year-old completed a bachelor of animation and interactive media at RMIT in 2018 and was thrilled to teach local kids using colourful Otway-themed backdrops and figurines. “We taught them how to create stop motion on their phone,” she said. “They had two hours from start to finish to come up with an idea for a story or character and make their own video. “One of the really nice things about helping these kids was reliving that childhood memory of having fun and creating something.” The Kids Art Bash workshops, run by the Independent’s own Rebecca Hosking, return to Anglesea Art House today and run until Sunday.

Grant feeds the need The “most significant grant” in Geelong Food Relief Centre’s 30-year history will take efforts to feed those in need “to the next level”, according to centre chief executive Collin Peebles. The centre this week received a $700,000 share of a $3.5 million state government investment in food relief hubs for five regional Victorian cities. The announcement comes after construction began just before Christmas on a $1.7 million council renovation of the Geelong centre, scheduled for completion in April.

this will be the first large-scale regional food hub in Victoria - Collin Peebles

’’

“The timing of this grant couldn’t have been any more perfect,” Mr Peebles said. “There were a few things that we wouldn’t have been able to complete if not for this $700,000. “There were certain things – even with council’s contribution – that we wouldn’t have been able to afford in the short term. Now we can.”

The extra funding would go towards additional storage mezzanines, forklifts, IT to run logistics, expanding cold rooms and CCTV for the new fit-for-purpose centre, Mr Peebles said. “This will be the first large-scale regional food hub in Victoria. We got a bit of a head start because we already began construction before Christmas. “We’ll get the food out to all those who are suffering food insecurity especially as a result of the current COVID crisis.” The centre would also spend a significant portion of the money on wholesale food purchases, Mr Peebles said.

This would ensure the centre had a stockpile of fresh-chilled products to combat any supply chain disruptions such as those that occurred during COVID-19 lockdowns, he said. Geelong Food Relief Centre also received a $70,000 one-off payment for a new refrigerated truck as part of the state government’s $5 million Community Food Relief Fund. Local charity Feed Me Bellarine was also among the fund’s 93 grant recipients. The two funds are part of the state government’s $25 million in additional funding for food relief since February 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Disability, Ageing and Carers Minister Luke Donnellan said.

Defence deal a step closer maintain self-propelled artillery in Geelong and create “high-skilled” local jobs. Last September, the federal government announced Hanwha as the sole tenderer for the LAND 8116 project to build at least 30 self-propelled howitzers and 15 armoured resupply vehicles. Hanwha Defense Australia managing director Richard Cho welcomed this week’s agreement. “Hanwha is delighted to enter into this memorandum of understanding with the Victorian government,” he said. “We see it as a strong platform from which to develop our mutual interests in a range of technologies and to establish an advanced

manufacturing facility here in Victoria.” Hanwha is also one of two final tenderers, along with Rheinmetall in Queensland, for the LAND 400 Phase 3contract to build infantry fighting vehicles. If successful, Hanwha would build the armoured vehicles – primarily used to protect soldiers and transport them quickly across the battlefield – in Laverton North. A PWC report commissioned by Hanwha estimated that the LAND 400 Phase 3 manufacturing effort would generate $5.7 billion in total economic impacts in Victoria. According to the state government, the memorandum will strengthen Victoria’s relationship with South Korean industry,

Motorists speeding and using mobile phones are in the sights of police patrolling Geelong on two new motorcycles. Geelong Highway Patrol officers riding the two ‘solos’ from December 1 to January 7 nabbed 101 speeding motorists, Senior Sergeant Craig Stevens said. Among those caught speeding was a learner motorcyclist riding at 165km/h in a 100km/h zone, who had his ride impounded. “Three motorbikes were impounded that day and they all incurred significant fines and loss of license,” Senior Sergeant Stevens said.

Officers riding the new motorbikes have also caught 55 motorists using their phones, who incurred $496 fines and four demerit points, and issued fines for 24 seatbelt offences. “Sometimes it’s the only way people learn,” Senior Sergeant Stevens said. “The motorbikes have been really effective for road distraction offenses such as seatbelts and mobile phones. “They’ve got a good vantage point to see into motor vehicles. They also have the capability to conduct alcohol and drug testing. “The bikes are being trialled over December and January and we hope to secure some permanent bikes in the near future.”

driving collaboration and creating opportunities for expanded bilateral trade and investment. Founded in 1952, Hanwha Corporation has grown into South Korea’s largest defence company and also operates in aerospace, mining, clean energy and other industries. Victoria’s defence sector contributes $8.4 billion annually to the state’s economy with 6300 small-to-medium businesses working across military vehicle production, maritime design, aerospace components, cyber security and munitions, according to the state government.

The trial is the first time Geelong Highway Patrol has had the motorbikes in its fleet in seven years, according to Senior Sergeant Stevens. “Previously we just didn’t have any qualified riders and if you don’t use an asset it goes to another area to be used,” he explained. “We’ve recruited three riders recently bringing our total to five, which means we can make good use of the new solos.” The motorbikes had decreased response times for accidents with officers able to ride through gridlocked traffic, Senior Sergeant Stevens said. “They’re also going to be terrific for events when they’re up and running again.”

A Shepparton man who allegedly stole a food truck from a North Geelong aged care centre on Sunday has fronted Melbourne Magistrates Court. Jake O’Brien, 26, of no fixed address, faced court on Tuesday on eight charges including motor vehicle theft, dangerous driving, possessing a controlled weapon and unlicensed driving. Police alleged that O’Brien stole the refrigerated truck from McKellar Centre, on Ballarat Road, just after 10am on Sunday. The driver was making a delivery at the time when O’Brien allegedly got into the truck and drove away. The truck was later sighted driving erratically along the Princes Freeway and police attempted to intercept it. A police helicopter followed the truck to the intersection of Sherbourne Road and Para Road in Greensborough, where the driver attempted a u-turn and wedged the truck against a power pole. Police arrested O’Brien, who they said was still inside the vehicle at the time of his arrest. O’Brien made no application for bail during a hearing at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Tuesday. A magistrate remanded him in custody to appear before Geelong Magistrates Court yesterday. O’Brien had yet to appear before court when the Independent went to press. Luke Voogt

Melburnians seek sea change By Luke Voogt Inquiries from Melburnians seeking to move to Geelong have doubled in the past four months, according to agents, buyers advocates and the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV). REIV president Leah Calnan said COVID-19 restrictions forcing people to work from home had driven the increase. The revelation that employees could complete much of their work from home had caused a permanent shift toward more flexible working arrangements, she said. “As a consequence of COVID we’re seeing all this talent move out of

metro to Geelong and the Surf Coast.” Ms Calnan said many who had always wanted to move to regional Victoria were taking advantage of that opportunity, a trend she expected to continue beyond 2021. “Those stories, I think, will become more frequent,” she said. “And no longer will the next generation think, ‘I have to move out of Geelong or Torquay for my job prospects at a major metro company’.” Armstrong Real Estate’s inquiries from Melburnians have doubled over the past four months, according to director Megan Rovers. “Probably one in four of our inquiries is

coming from Melbourne,” she said. “I think now that people have worked from home, it’s a hard argument for companies to make them go back to the office five days a week when the flexibility is there.” Geelong-based buyers advocate Vicky Whittaker agreed that “hybrid” working arrangements were prompting Melburnians to seek better value for money in Geelong. “The amount of inquiries that we’re getting from people living in Melbourne wanting to buy is incredible,” she said. Many Melburnians were also seeking holiday homes in the region, most likely to escape to

the coast during future lockdowns, she said. Gartland Property’s Melbourne-based inquiries have also doubled, according to director Michael De Stefano. “Geelong has been on the radar of a lot of people looking for a lifestyle change,” he said. “I think COVID has provided an acceleration of that shift.” Commercial buyers from Melbourne were also increasingly seeking to capitalise on the “population shifting down this way”, Mr De Stefano said. Geelong house sales from June to September 2020 (2110) were almost 10 per cent higher than in 2019 (1921), according to REIV.

Artificial reef to transform The Dell A futuristic artificial reef dreamed up by “world-leading” designer Alex Goad will transform the Clifton Springs coastline in coming months, council has announced. The sculptural wave attenuator, consisting of a series of “dynamic modular reef units”, replaces failed plans for a sunken gallery at the location. Council has hired Melbourne-based industrial designer and manufacturer Alex Goad to design and fabricate the reef to provide a home for a colourful array of marine life. “We are excited to be working with a designer of the calibre of Alex, whose groundbreaking work has attracted international acclaim for its environmental and artistic outcomes,” Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher said.

“The sculptural wave attenuator will enhance the area’s sensitive environment and provide an educational and eco-tourism drawcard that will appeal to a wide range of visitors.” Council intends the “striking array” of sculptures to recreate marine reef habitats in Port Phillip Bay and prevent coastline erosion along The Dell. The reef will be colonised by native species including mussels, seaweed and invertebrates, according to council. “This state-of-the-art project further enhances the city’s reef restoration efforts, following the historical loss of a large amount of shellfish reefs from Port Phillip Bay,” Cr Asher said. “It will highlight how artistic sculpture and technology can combine with ecology to improve biodiversity and protect our coastlines

and marine communities.” Council intends to install six reef units off The Dell beach this autumn in the initial stage of the project. The initial stage will cost $30,000. If successful, council plans to build subsequent stages with a total budget of about $200,000. The reef replaces plans for a sunken gallery at the location, which council in February 2019 announced would be open to the public during summer 2019-2020, but never passed the planning stages. The reef’s construction coincides with that of the state government-funded The Dell Historic Mineral Springs Boardwalk, scheduled for completion in coming months.

An Ocean Grove driver allegedly ran red lights on the Bellarine Highway and drove twice on the wrong side of the road before police arrested him on Wednesday. Police received reports about 6.45am that a 2019 red Toyota Camry sedan was driving through red lights on the Bellarine Highway. The driver continued towards Moolap Station Road and allegedly swerved onto the wrong side of the road before continuing at speed. Police alleged the man drove through Leopold before stopping his vehicle at the intersection of Wallington Road and Bellarine Highway in Wallington. Police said the man exited his car before getting back inside and taking off. Officers attempted to intercept the car on Wallington Road in Ocean Grove, but the driver allegedly swerved onto the wrong side of the road and sped off, narrowly missing oncoming traffic. Police did not follow the car due to safety concerns. Shortly after, officers attended an Ocean Grove address and arrested a 29-year-old man. They charged the man with reckless conduct endangering a person, careless driving, failing to stop on police direction, dangerous driving, assault with a weapon, assaulting police, resisting arrest and possessing proceeds of crime. He was remanded overnight to appear before Geelong Magistrates Court yesterday. Investigators appealed for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or file a confidential report online at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au. Luke Voogt

Christmas gifts drive online shopping boom Online Christmas shopping has boomed in Geelong amid COVID-19, growing by more than a third in December 2020. Purchases grew 38 per cent last month compared to December 2019, with Grovedale residents shopping online the most, followed closely by Torquay residents, according to Australia Post. Mount Duneed experienced the fastest growth in online shopping in the lead-up to Christmas, up 68.7 per cent on December 2019. The two most popular types of products, fashion and apparel and variety store goods, together accounted for almost 60 per cent of Geelong’s online shopping purchases that 4 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 15 January, 2021

month.Specialty food and liquor had the fastest year-on-year growth with 58.6 per cent, while books and media purchases grew 41.7 per cent. The boom comes as Australia Post recorded the biggest month in its 211-year history. The organisation delivered more than 52 million parcels during December, an almost 20 per cent increase on the previous year. While Australia Post prepared extensively for what the organisation predicted would be its busiest Christmas ever, the result still exceeded expectations, managing director Rodney Boys said. “There is no denying that online shopping grew strongly through 2020, and this reached

a new level in December as millions of people chose to buy their Christmas gifts online. “Ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, social distancing and reduced domestic flights coupled with significantly higher parcel volumes, meant that delivering Christmas 2020 for all Australians was always going to be incredibly challenging.” Making use of up to 20 dedicated freighters and additional cargo space on limited domestic passenger flights, Australia Post uplifted over 7400 tonnes of airfreight, up 76 per cent when compared to the same month last year.

MY GEELONG From teaching the next

younger I was heavily involved in sport and would often coach the younger people coming in. When I had my own salon I trained three apprentices and I would help out with education at the salons I worked at afterwards too, so becoming a teacher wasn’t a difficult decision. When I teach I like to share with my students the passion I have for this amazing industry. I want them to get that hairdressing isn’t just a ‘right now’ job, it can be a lifelong career. The average career of a hairdresser is five years and if I can encourage students to look at it as a long-term career and love it, I’ve done a service to my industry. The industry is more exciting now than it was when I first started – with the internet the opportunity for hairstylists to expand their reputation is endless. For a hairdresser, or any beauty worker for that matter, finding the balance between financial success and personal satisfaction can be difficult. I coach and mentor salon owners and hairdressers, helping them become fulfilled financially and find happiness in the field of hairdressing.

What is your involvement with Hair Aid?

Tell us about you… I live in Ocean Grove with my husband John and we have three children and two grandchildren. I grew up in South Geelong near Kardinia Park and I wanted to be a hairdresser ever since I was a little girl. I started a four-year apprenticeship in 1983 travelling to Melbourne on the train. In 1987, I purchased my first business, Head First Hairdressing in East Geelong, which is now owned and operated by an apprentice I trained. I moved to Melbourne to work and eventually began teaching. I moved back to Geelong to teach at the Centre of Excellence with the amazing Carol McDonald and I eventually became program manager of hairdressing, beauty therapy, makeup and modelling at The Gordon.

I started my own hairdressing school, Helen Dunne Hair Education, in 2015. I enjoy instructing body balance at Bellarine Aquatic and Sports Centre, meditating and spending quality time with my family. My daughter Grace is the sole proprietor of Style & Grace Geelong and joint proprietor of another salon in Barwon Heads. What do you love about hairdressing? Hairdressing is an awesome career and one that is extremely undervalued by the perception of the general public. Like anything that is artistic, it looks easier than it is. You get a lot of satisfaction from helping people and making them feel good about themselves. I was trained by a pretty strict employer who would get me to take a mannequin head home

every night and bring it back to work the next day styled. You won’t find many apprentices doing that these days. Hairdressing has taken me many places during my career. I have competed in local and state competitions and been on two study tours to Europe. I have worked on a movie set, in theatres, on catwalks and styled hair for photo shoots and bands. Hairdressing has helped me through difficult times in my life where having a skill that is always needed has come in handy and kept me employable. I love all aspects of hairdressing, particularly creative cutting and colouring. I still work limited hours on the salon floor as a stylist but my books are closed for new clients as my main priority is my hairdressing school. I have always been a teacher. When I was

Hair Aid is an Australian not-for-profit organisation that sends self-funded hairdresser volunteers to third world countries to teach locals to cut hair for a living. My involvement with Hair Aid began in 2017 when we went to Manilla in the Philippines for a week to teach cutting skills to the poor. Last year, due to the ban on overseas travel, Hair Aid was unable to help the communities it had established links to, which was very devastating for those communities. Hair Aid also co-ordinates a program called Community Cuts, where volunteer hairdressers cut hair for the homeless, which I have supported in Geelong since 2017. Hair Aid does amazing work to give homeless people a lift and a new lease on life. Often a homeless person would never consider going into a hairdressing salon, so coming to them is a way of looking after them on their own home turf. They are so appreciative. A lady once came to us with her hair in a huge mat. She had been into salons and they wanted to just shave it off, which she didn’t want. My team and I took nearly four hours to comb it out with a few of us working on her hair at a time! I took her back to my salon, shampooed and treated her hair, and cut it into a style. I gave her some good products and a brush to care for her hair. She was an amazing lady with an interesting story. People find themselves homeless for reasons we just cannot imagine. What do you like to do locally? I love where I live – we have awesome places to eat here in Ocean Grove. Zebra Bar is great for steaks and seafood and White Hart Café has the best coffee. I also like to exercise at Bellarine Aquatic and Sports Centre. The stretch of beach from Ocean Grove to Point Lonsdale is the best in Victoria – you only need to see it from a plane to see why. We just went for a walk down at Otway Fly, which was amazing! How are you coping with COVID-19? COVID gave people a chance to recreate themselves. It gave businesses a chance to offer things online that were only talked about before, and see what worked and what didn’t. It also taught me that my clients needed more when it came to education and gave me a chance to develop more programs. My daughter said that I was the busiest person in COVID that she knew. 5 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 15 January, 2021

‘Clever’ idea to save tree A bizarrely-shaped bottle tree at Geelong Botanic Gardens is undergoing repairs after strong winds split the unique specimen down the middle recently. Decay within the trunk, possibly rot in a smaller split, caused the bottle tree (brachychiton rupestris) to become vulnerable to high winds and storm conditions. Geelong Botanic Gardens co-ordinator Ashley Filipovski said gardens staff were attempting to save the tree by pinning it together and treating its wounds. “We have recovered bottle trees with splits in the past, but none as severe as this one,” Mr Filipovski said. “A boilermaker at the city’s Corio depot has constructed the large metal pin clamp that will pull the split together. Arborists have trimmed the canopy to reduce stress on the split.

“It will be a matter of wait and see.” Workers will tighten the steel clamp weekly to encourage the tree to mend itself. The clamp will become a permanent addition to the tree to ensure it is structurally sound. Staff have also applied a fungicide to help with any associated fungal diseases. The gardens purchased several of the Queensland bottle trees as part of the 21st Century Garden upgrade in 2001 and 2002. Geelong council gardens chair Anthony Aitken described the method to save the tree as “clever”. “We will all be eagerly awaiting the outcome of this operation,” Cr Aitken said. “I hope the repair is successful and this beautiful specimen is saved.” The tree is the largest of the garden’s 10 bottle trees at the front gates of the garden.

The AFL has awarded life membership to Geelong Cats forward Tom Hawkins and recently-retired defender Harry Taylor for their services to Australian football. Three-time All-Australian Hawkins was last year’s Coleman Medallist and has kicked 603 goals in his 277 games. Both he and Taylor played in the 2009 and 2011 Geelong premierships.

Storages high Barwon Water’s Geelong storages sat at 78.2 per cent yesterday compared to 64 per cent the same time last year. A wetter summer due to the La Niña weather phenomenon has contributed to the increase in storage levels compared to last year.

Sisters’ donation for dad By Justin Flynn Ocean Grove sisters Matilda and Harriet Stepto are raising money for the Peter MacCallum Foundation in honour of their father, Nige. Matilda, 15, and Harriet, 12, are donating their hair to the Peter Mac Headwear and Wig Library to support patients during their treatment and raise money for the foundation. Nige was a professor of clinical exercise science at Victoria University, and died last year at age 48 from a rare type of sarcoma after just 11 months. According to mum Fiona, Matilda had been talking about donating her hair for a while and then they all started discussing it recently, almost a year since Nige died. It was then the girls decided they wanted to do something for charity. Nige was treated at Peter MacCallum Centre. “He was an amazing dad and we have lots of great memories – holidays, surfing, bike rides, barbecues, fun times with family and friends,” Fiona said. “So proud and they know their dad is too. The way they have approached the past couple of years has been amazing.” Fiona said the prospect of losing their locks had not made the girls anxious at all. “Not anxious, maybe slightly competitive,” she said. Matilda and Harriet wanted to raise $1000, but had to re-evaluate their goal. When the Independent went to print, they had already raised close to $3000 and had set their sights on $5000. “We are so grateful for everyone’s donations,” Fiona said. The sisters will cut their hair at the end of February, but in the meantime you can donate at fundraise.petermac.org.au/dadsgirls

Shark attack ruled out Barwon Health believes a seven-year-old boy taken to hospital on Monday was not the victim of a shark attack. Paramedics were called to Thirteenth Beach at Barwon Heads about 6pm after the boy suffered lower body injuries while swimming. He was taken to Geelong University Hospital in a stable condition. The incident was suspected to be a shark attack, prompting an evacuation of local beaches. However a Barwon Health spokesperson said the boy’s injuries were not consistent with a shark attack. “After swimming at the beach, a boy arrived to our ED with a very minor injury and was discharged later that night,” the spokesperson said. “Emergency staff do not believe the injury was related to any marine animals, such as a shark or stingray.” A shark sighting was reported near Bancoora Beach shortly after the boy was injured, however an aerial search failed to find anything. Nearby beaches from Breamlea to Ocean Grove were closed overnight on Monday, but were reopened on Tuesday. The boy has been released from hospital. Shark sightings can be reported to the Police Assistance line on 131 444, or if you are at a patrolled beach, notify lifesavers immediately and follow their instructions. Justin Flynn

goal to significantly increase social housing to meet growing demand. “Everyone has the right to a safe, affordable home and the benefits that brings in helping people engage with employment, education and community services,” Cr Asher said. “Without major investment and advocacy, the most vulnerable in our community will continue to be impacted.” Social housing portfolio chair Sarah Mansfield thanked applicants and said the new committee members had “a wealth of knowledge and a strong passion for reducing

inequity in our community”. The committee includes representatives from the Department of Health and Human Services and members from fields including community services, urban design and property development. Committee member Bill Mithen, chief executive officer of Give Where You Live Foundation, said he looked forward to meeting the committee and “getting stuck into it” for the first time next Friday. “It’s a fantastic step forward for social housing in our region and a great plan for a local government to put together,” he said.

“It’s a key area for the Give Where You Live Foundation – housing – and it’s a basic human right. “That seems to me a great inequality and inequity that we should address.” The other members are Kerrie Crtalic, Robert Davis, Grant Divall, Louise Johnson, Helen Maher, Trudi Ray, Susan Taylor, Natalie Walker, John White, Steve Dunn and Tony Jenkins.

Tennis champ inspires Former world No 53 tennis champion Sam Groth was at Ocean Grove Tennis Club on Tuesday to help promote the Australian Tennis Open holiday programs. More than 30,000 children will get a taste of the Australian Open as AO Holiday Programs launch across the country in the lead-up to all the grand slam action. Ocean Grove Tennis Club president Leon Eyck said the event was “very successful” with close to 40 juniors attending. “The clinic is run by our club coaches, [coaching business] Tennis Fanatics, and is the first school holiday program run since we have been able to open up from COVID restrictions and it is one of the strongest turnouts we have had,” he said. “The programs provide a great opportunity for seasoned juniors through to complete novices and we hope that some of those present, and their families, will develop a passion for tennis and look to become active

junior members of our club. The club looks to run similar programs every school holiday throughout the year and encourage those interested to look out for them on the club’s Facebook page.” Mr Eyck said the event provided a great lead-in to the social event the club intends to run for the AO finals at the new clubrooms during the weekend of February 20 and 21. “The event will be open to members and non-members and will include Fast-4 tennis, food and the bar will be open,” he said. “Those present will be able to view the finals on the two big screen TVs within the clubrooms. “The club has encouraged Tennis Australia to come back to the club with live crosses like the Fan Zones used for AFL and cricket recently.” Anyone interested in attending should email the club at ogtennisclub@gmail.com Justin Flynn

A MESSAGE FROM CR STEPHANIE ASHER, MAYOR We are still encouraging residents and visitors alike to ‘embrace the space’ by spreading out across the hundreds of beautiful outdoor spaces in Greater Geelong.

With coastal towns on the Bellarine in the midst of their busiest and most important period of the year, it has been wonderful to see so many people enjoying everything our region has to offer.

For example, the City has approved more than 50 temporary permits for new or extended outdoor dining areas – helping cafes, pubs and restaurants maximise the number of guests they can welcome.

After such a tough 2020 for our tourism industry and local business on the whole, we are grateful to every visitor who has chosen to come here this summer.

Assistance for the hospitality sector will continue in 2021, with the Council waiving a range of annual fees totalling almost $1.7 million in value.

Have a great weekend.

The City of Greater Geelong is doing its best to support local businesses on the long road to recovery.

With more people around, it is important that we continue to physically distance wherever possible.

Cr Stephanie Asher Mayor, City of Greater Geelong

Helping to fight the black dog After suffering anxiety and depression as a teen and young adult, Olivia Valpied is now using her experience to help others. Luke Voogt discovers how.

LET’S GET IT SORTED! Soft plastics can be recycled through participating Coles and Woolworths supermarkets: Keep them out of the recycling bin

LET’S GET IT SORTED!

livia Valpied’s anxiety stemmed from her parents’ separation and an uncertain relationship of her own as she prepared to head into year 12. “That was all around the same time,” Olivia, now 22, remembered. “I had a lot of high expectations on myself with schoolwork and I was still pretty anxious with some social situations. I think it was everything combined.” The then 17-year-old worried – unnecessarily it turned out – about her first long-term boyfriend. “I was always anxious about how that person felt about me and I just wasn’t trustful or secure,” she said. But Olivia only began to see her anxiety as something she needed to address four years later, after moving out of home in Ballarat to Geelong. She was studying her second year of a double degree in criminology and psychology, which she had wanted to do since watching The Mentalist in year 7. “When I started to live with other people I began to notice my anxiety was a bit different, other people weren’t getting as stressed over certain things,” she said. “I was overthinking and not sleeping well. That’s when I started to think, ‘OK, I’ve got to look into this’. “Anxiety is a lot of thinking the worst – you think you have to prepare for all the worst-case scenarios.” Her anxiety might not have been obvious to her new friends and housemates, she said. “You can have high-functioning anxiety, where you’re achieving really well on the outside but you’re still experiencing a lot of the same symptoms within.” She began seeing a psychologist, who taught her methods to manage her symptoms. “It’s having a lot more self-awareness about things that might trigger me and knowing when I need to talk to someone about it or seek support,” she said. The following year Olivia suffered bouts of depression. “I was really burnt out and I didn’t have the best social relationships,” she said.

“There were times in 2019 where those darker thoughts were there.” But again she overcame this with professional and personal support. Later that year she discovered Black Dog Institute’s Breaking Down Depression presentations. The presentations involve trained volunteers, who have experienced mental illness personally, providing evidence-based information on symptoms, warning signs and treatment options. Initially Olivia applied to gain some experience volunteering. “But now I feel like it’s become something more – I’m spreading mental health awareness and education,” she said. “It definitely gives you a sense of pride and achievement, feeling you’re able to help people.” She was “a good type of nervous” when she gave her first presentation to about 20 people last March, just before COVID-19 hit. Like many, Olivia initially struggled with the uncertainty and isolation of COVID-19, but she concentrated on the positives and found new ways of connecting with people online. “I had my last year of uni so I was able to throw myself into that too,” she said. She also helped others suffering the mental health impacts of COVID-19 by giving another five Breaking Down Depression presentations online. “The pandemic has been a stressful time for everyone and has created feelings of isolation for students who are missing being on campus with their friends,” Olivia said. “I’ve been showing the students how they can build resilience through self-care, finding a hobby, or networking with their peers through Facebook groups. “It’s also important for anyone who is feeling sad or anxious to talk about their feelings to their doctor or someone they trust. There is lots of support available.” According to Black Dog Institute, 65 per cent of people suffering mental illness do not seek help. To book a presentation email community@ blackdog.org.au.

ENTERTAINMENT Sam Durney hosts a live show on Sunday celebrating the 2020 Bird Bath artists and the viewers who cheered them on online. (Supplied)

Bird bath voices reunite for show By Luke Voogt A motley group of musos who kept locals entertained in a Potato Shed web series during COVID-19 are returning for a live concert. The Bird Bath Cam Reunion Concert will celebrate the venue and the thousands of online viewers that gave local artists an outlet during lockdown, according to host Samantha Durney. “It’s also celebrating that we’re all allowed back to do certain live events,” she said. “It’s all just sort of getting back on. It’s week-to-week because you never know what’s going to happen with COVID.” The Barwon Heads mother-of-three and “partner in crime” Trish Redman-Collister were among the local artists streaming live from the venue in the Bird Bath Sessions last year.

“It wasn’t just for the Potato Shed but to help local musos carry on doing something,” she said. “To suddenly not be able to go to places and have an audience was a really tough experience. The sessions just gave us another avenue.” The Bird Bath sessions were even more important for up-and-coming musicians bereft of live gigs, Durney said. “We just did it because we love it and we love the Potato Shed – Trish and I actually met there. “The shed has given us a lot of opportunities over the years so we feel very close to the venue. “But for the young kids just starting – for them to be able to do a live stream and get themselves out there – that’s amazing. “For them to be like, ‘oh great, I’ve got a gig!’ it just takes the pressure off.” Durney and Redman-Collister have played

together as The Gems and put on a Desperate Housewives Night Out show for more than a decade since they met at the shed. “The kids were at school and we had some extra time,” Durney said of their early years. “We decided we were going to learn the guitar. We’ve gone from playing in the middle of the Good Guys when they were having a sale to playing with Bill Chambers – Kasey Chambers’ dad – across Geelong.” The duo have since joined in 700-person early-morning nudie runs on the beach and appeared on national TV game shows. “Hosting an event is quite easy compared to what we have done,” Durney said. But Durney will have to take on hosting duties alone, with her performing partner busy running her donut van this weekend. “This will be only the second time I’ve hosted an event without her,” she said. “Trish and I

have been lucky enough that our other work hasn’t stopped during COVID-19. Instead Durney’s partner in life Aaron Fielder will join her onstage in what she hopes will be a beautiful afternoon. “I hope that we get a really good crowd, keeping social-distancing and all that in place, of course.” The reunion concert features local artists including Madeliene Cope, Jack Woodfine, James Nicholls and Heath and Carly Robertson, aka Keith and Harley, playing well-known favourites along with a stack of originals. Locals can take a picnic blanket and basket or grab a beanbag or a socially-distanced seat at The Bird Bath Cam Reunion Concert beginning outside the Potato Shed at 2pm on Sunday. Bar drinks available. Tickets: GeelongAustralia.com.au/potatoshed.

Concert celebrates 10 years of Blues Boot Camp Torquay singer-songwriter Ethan Farmer was destined for the US in 2020 after being accepted into the Berklee College of Music in Boston. “But then COVID-19 hit and America became an absolute mess,” the 20-year-old said. The pandemic decimated his live gigs, which went from almost 1000 a year, with various bands including his own, to just two. “I’ve just been writing, practicing and doing online gigs,” he said. But things are looking up for 2021 as Farmer prepares for a live concert celebrating 10 years of the Blues Boot Camp, which helped launch his fledgling career. “I think it’s going to be awesome, I haven’t seen some of the people in-person for months,” he said. “It’s very reinvigorating to get back into it.” Hosted by local blues veteran Wayne Jury from 2pm on January 24, the concert outside the Potato Shed features established and up-and-coming blues artists from across Geelong. The concert replaces this year’s boot camp with organisers planning to restructure the course for future years. Farmer attended three boot camps from 2015 to 2017 after migrating from the UK with his family several years before. 12 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 15 January, 2021

Initially he learnt the guitar “as something to do” but his skills improved, so he joined the boot camp to take his music to the next level. In 2015, his tutors encouraged him to enter a Bendigo competition, where he met two musicians who later became comrades in the Ethan Farmer Band. “None of that would have happened without the boot camp,” he said. Other boot camp connections helped him make a full-time living out of music, he said. “When I met people like Wayne, Sarah

Carroll and Kelly Auty, I was able to expand my networks and got a lot more gigs around Geelong and Melbourne.” He returned to the boot camp as a tutor from 2018 to 2020 (prior to COVID-19) while playing in his own trio, a duo, a quartet and filling in for other bands. “They just call me or text me if they don’t have a guitar player and I’m there,” he said. Farmer was looking forward to hitting the stage again to play his blend of blues, soul and indie rock with a “poppy edge”.

He will start studying at Berklee remotely next month and hopes to travel to the US in September for the second semester, if the pandemic lets up. Farmer is just one boot camp alumnus who has made a full-time gig out of music, according to Jury. “It’s surprising just how many of the students that have been through the Blues Boot Camp have gone out into the world to perform professionally,” Jury said. “I wouldn’t say that they wouldn’t have done that if not for boot camp, but I’d like to say we’ve given them a leg up. That’s the reason I do it.” Jury said now was the perfect time to rethink the boot camp and hold a Blues Boot Camp Reunion Concert instead, as live music gradually returns across Geelong. “It’s difficult for anybody to organise anything, especially group tuition,” he said. “Because of the way social media and streaming services have changed the industry so rapidly – it’s probably good for me to sit back and take a breath. “It’s fantastic that we’ve been able to sustain it and keep it relevant for so long. I’m just so excited to see all these past students together.” Details: geelongaustralia.com.au/potatoshed Luke Voogt

people not to come to Victoria was ridiculous. COVID case numbers in Sydney – or indeed elsewhere in Australia – are low, and given that quarantine measure are now in place in all states should an outbreak occur, there is no reason why any state border should be closed. While COVID is highly contagious it has not proved anywhere near as deadly as the Spanish Flu which killed 10,000 Australians in the first week in 1918. And after almost one year, 909 have died because of COVID with more than 80 per cent of them over 70 years. Both NSW and Queensland have their respective cases under control, so why the panic? For goodness sake let’s get some perspective on COVID. Andrews promised way back in July that once Victoria met the conditions of his road map that we would go back to a virtual normal way of living. But the Premier has not kept his word. Two months on and except for a very small outbreak this state has been virtually COVID free, yet here we are wearing masks in summer, have restrictions of travel, limitations on numbers at funerals and weddings, and while 20,000 can go to the cricket, worshippers are limited at church services and have to wear masks – even if socially distanced! Andrews is turning Victoria into a milder version of North Korea where he and unelected officials can at a whim disenfranchise the movements of the average citizens and place in jeopardy the survival of many small businesses especially in the travel, accommodation and arts and leisure industries. If people think President Trump was incompetent then Premier Andrews must be running a close second. For the good of

Victoria, Daniel Andrews must be replaced immediately as he’s only half way through his term. Heaven help us if we have to endure another two years of his knee-jerk and over the top reactions to COVID. Alan Barron Grovedale

Here’s to a happy new year Here we are again at the start of another new year; a little older, and hopefully a little wiser, and more adaptable to a changing world. It is a time of reflection. What will lie ahead of us? Laughter to ease life’s challenges? Joy to fill our hearts? Hopes that can be fulfilled? New friendships with shared stories? There will be some disappointments, and there will be unexpected happiness. There will be problems, but also solutions, and hopefully someone to brighten our day. Let’s welcome it all. Let’s hope the paths we travel along this year will lead us to a place of safety and optimism. Melva Stott Anglesea

Director Mike Newell (Donnie Brasco) and writer Richard Curtis (Love, Actually, Notting Hill) brought back old-fashioned eloquence and rocky-road romance with this delightful story of London bachelor Charles (Hugh G Grant) and his rep repeatedly blighted efforts to wi win the wo woman of his dr dreams, Am American Carr Carrie (Andie MacD MacDowell). WellWell-defined characters aand sharp, witty d dialogue propel this nu nuptial nightmare to its welcomely satisfying sat ending. Kristin Scott Thomas, Simon Callow and John Hannah Hannah, in a star-making turn turn, make excellent suppo supporting contributions.

Fit feet and legs for year ahead Our feet, ankles and knees are relied upon for most of our daily activities. To help keep you pain free and active in 2021, the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics have provided some helpful tips to keep your feet and legs fit. • Evaluate footwear. Thongs, slip-ons and high heels can be stressful to the feet and ankles. Choose shoes with straps or laces (that hold to the feet), and high heels with lower or wedge heels, whenever possible. • Choose activity appropriate shoes for sport and recreational activities. • Don’t rely on technological advances in footwear to treat pain or decrease the risk of injury. Seek advice from an experienced musculoskeletal podiatrist. • Shop for footwear at the end of the day to accommodate for normal swelling. Feet can swell by up to 10 per cent during a day.

• Be careful of off-the-shelf foot products such as mass produced orthotics, innersoles and arch supports to assist pain or discomfort. • Get a second opinion on surgery and medications. Thanks to the latest medical research and regenerative treatments foot, ankle and knee concerns, even knee replacements, can be avoided. Cortisone injections can delay healing and contribute to further tissue damage, medications just mask symptoms and surgery should always be a last resort. Seek advice from an experienced musculoskeletal podiatrist. • Always get pain checked. Soreness can be a symptom of more serious underlying issues, so get reoccurring or prolonged soreness checked by an experienced musculoskeletal podiatrist..

SAT 16TH JAN

FEATURING ... ACTIVE KIDS

Something to cheer about American-style cheerleading is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and dance schools around Australia are riding the wave, with all-aged students flocking to get some pom-pom action. Cheerleading classes teach all the fundamentals of cheerleading, such as tumbles, cheer, chants, stunts, dance and pom-pom work. It’s all about having fun in a team, learning about sportsmanship, and using movement in an exuberant celebration. Even pre-schoolers love to perform in a cheerleading squad, and are able to form wonderful friendships doing their bit together. It was back in 1860s Britain that cheering and chanting in unison for favourite athletes at sporting events began. Soon it spread to the US, where on November 6, 1869, the first intercollegiate football game took place, marking the day the original “sis-boom-rah” cheer was first used, variations of which are still chanted today. Cheerleading was once an all-male domain, but World War II created a chance for women to step up. It wasn’t until the 1950s that cheerleading became professional and, by the 1960s, it was considered a mostly feminine pursuit. Today it’s open to anyone, but girls still dominate the sport. Cheerleading has come a long way and is now a genuine career option, with Aussie sporting events often fielding cheer squads. So if you have an active little person who loves the whole dance thing, this could be the way to introduce them to discipline, to learn how to co-operate with others and to give them all the exercise they’ll need.

Lexus Coupe, long and low By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring

AT A GLANCE MODEL RANGE

Lexus recently provided us with details of its LC Coupe and Convertible. Now they’ve just given us a Coupe to road test for a week. As a team we thoroughly enjoyed it.

LC 500 Luxury Coupe: $194,757 LC 500h Luxury Coupe: $195,165

Note: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges. Contact your local Lexus dealer for drive-away prices.

Styling Long and low with a shape which is definitely coupe, not lowered sedan in appearance, the very definite narrowing at the waist is a real feature. The grille is very positive and the headlights lead well back into the guards. The air scoops ahead of the rear wheels are beautifully integrated into the lower side panels and follow the shape of the doors. Altogether, the Lexus LC 500 Coupe is well-presented and executed.

Interior The dash area is neat and simple with large sporting instruments in a binnacle, a wide infotainment horizontal central screen, and there’s an elegant way the dash area is integrated with the far side of the car. A steering-wheel heater is now standard along with an ‘easy access’ front seat slide function to further aid front and rear seat ingress and egress.

Infotainment The LC 500 has a 10.3-inch display, enhanced voice recognition, satellite navigation with SUNA Live Traffic information, Lexus Enform connected mobility works with compatible Apple and Android smartphones. Setting that all off is Siri Eyes Free and Miracast. A bespoke Mark Levinson 13-speaker premium sound system was developed specially for the LC 500.

The Lexus LC 500 is a delight to look at. (Supplied)

Engines / transmissions The 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine in the LC 500 mates with a revised transmission set-up to maximise responsiveness. Enhanced logic patterns for the LC 500’s 10-speed Direct Shift automatic means it upshifts at higher engine speed when 60 to 70 per cent throttle is applied. The LC 500h’s is now able to downshift to second gear (previously third) when braking in Sport S and Sport S+ modes to give more immediate acceleration.

There’s also blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and reversing camera.

Driving

For 2021 the front and rear coil springs have been strengthened and the shock-absorber lengthened. The standard Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) has been modified to improve linear response and control. Rear roll rigidity distribution has been revised, making it easier for the driver to feel the LC’s posture through corners and assist with more accurate line-tracing capability. The LC 500 now has Yamaha-developed Safety Lexus LC Lexus Safety System+ includes performance dampers. Newly standard on LC adaptive cruise control, pre-collision safety is Active Cornering Assist (ACA), which utilises system, lane keeping assist and sway warning. the vehicle stability control to provide subtle

braking of the inside wheels during high-G cornering, helping to create a natural and neutral cornering feel for the driver. The front seats are well shaped and provide support during cornering, but not to an excessive extent. This is after all a high-speed cruiser, not an out-and-out sportscar. Rear seats are a reasonable size but unless those in front are willing to power their seats a fair way forward there’s very little legroom. The 5.0-litre V8 is a real delight to sit behind. It has virtually instantaneous response. An exhaust sound-control valves gives it a healthy growl and a racecar like fast idle at start-up. We spent most of our time in the Sport and Sports+ plus modes as otherwise the LC feels too refined for our tastes. Handling is tenacious, with more grip than most owners are ever likely to want. There’s 52 / 48 per cent weight distribution for excellent balance. The feel through the steering is pretty good, though we have felt better in this class. Again, this might be because it’s a quick cruiser not a quick bruiser.

Summing up The first ever Lexus LC Convertible will come to Australia within the next few months and we’ve already got our name on the list to borrow one – can’t wait.

Geelong facing the Heat By Luke Voogt Geelong has a chance to rebound against Frankston tomorrow following a disappointing loss to Footscray last Saturday. The Cats started decently after winning the toss and batting, putting on 44 for the first wicket. But their top and middle order batsmen were unable to build on multiple starts, except for Gus Boyd, who hit the crease at number five. Boyd made 72 off 65 balls, including three fours and four sixes, to help the Cats pass the 200 mark. The developing batsman has been solid for Geelong this year, averaging 44.6 and scoring a century against Greenvale in round three. But he was running out of batting partners against the Dogs when he was caught off the bowling of Dean Russ with the Cats at 8/221. The Dogs cleaned up the tail cheaply, dismissing the Cats for 238 off 47.5 overs. Footscray fast bowler Jordan Buckingham took 3/45 while batting all-rounder Russ had his best outing with the ball for the season so far of 4/47.

But Russ failed to back it up with the bat with up-and-coming fast paceman Josh Garner bowling him for just 6. The Dogs looked in trouble at 2/15, despite chasing a low score, after fellow opener Dylan Brasher edged Dom McGlinchey to be caught behind for no additional score. Joining Victorian regular Travis Dean at the crease, Dan Sartori survived a shaky start before batting on to rescue the Dogs. Unlike the majority of the Cats batsmen, Sartori built on his start to hit 107 off 125 balls, including nine fours and two sixes.

He took advantage of a reprieve midway through his innings when wicketkeeper Josh McDonald dropped an edge off the bowling of left-arm wrist spinner Callum Stow. Dean (32), and brothers Jordan and Dylan Kight (46 and 25 not out) chipped in to help the Dogs post 5/239 to win with two overs remaining. Geelong will return home tomorrow to take on 15th-placed Frankston Peninsula, which scored an upset win over third-placed Melbourne last weekend. The Cats will not want to underestimate Frankston’s young side despite the Heat only recording their first win for the season last weekend. The Heat’s young bowling attack is in fine form after dismissing Melbourne for just 146. The Cats need to make the most of their favourable draw for the rest of January beginning with Frankston. They will play the first of two home games for the month tomorrow and are set to face three bottom-eight sides, including Frankston, in their next four games. Meanwhile, the Barwon Women’s Cricket Competition resumed with 20-over matches

taking place across the region on Sunday, with one game on Saturday. Liz Tubb topped the division one batting with 50 not out in St Joseph’s win over North Geelong. Sara Martini took 4/14 for St Joseph’s, while Portarlington’s Jayde Gillett also impressed with the ball this round, taking 4/12 in her side’s loss to Ocean Grove. Barrabool, Geelong West and East Belmont also picked up wins. East Belmont sits above Ocean Grove on top of the ladder on percentage, followed by Barrabool and Manifold Heights. In the north division, Ballarat Navy, Lethbridge Green and Lara picked up victories, while Geelong West Chapman won by forfeit over Ballarat Gold. Ballarat Navy is on top of the ladder on percentage over Lara, followed by Modewarre and Lethbridge Green. In the south division, ladder leader Highton extended its undefeated run to eight games with a win over south Barwon, while East Belmont Razz, Geelong City, Torquay Black and Collendina also picked up wins. Torquay Black sits second on the ladder, with one less win than Highton, followed by East Belmont Razz and Collendina.

Young gun leads Barwon to championship Geelong tennis players have toppled reigning premiers Goulburn at the 65th Victorian Inter-Regional Country Championships at Warrnambool, with 17-year-old Taj Cayzer winning the men’s singles. The Leopold Tennis Club young gun beat his coach Matthew Hicks in the open men’s final on Sunday to take home the trophy. Cayzer took the first set in a tiebreaker before winning the second 6-4 in a tight contest between master and apprentice, who clearly knew each other’s games. Hicks went a step further in the men’s doubles alongside fellow Centre Court (North Geelong) player Adam Lasky winning the final (4-0, 5-3). Lasky also won the mixed doubles final with Waurn Ponds player Nicole Mullen (4-2, 5-3). Mullen made the final of the women’s doubles with Surf Coast Tennis Club’s Olivia Rich. But injury forced Rich to retire in the women’s singles final earlier in the day when 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 15 January, 2021

she was a game ahead of first seed Eliza Long (3-2). The injury meant she and Mullen were unable to compete in the doubles finals too. Geelong dominated the under-18 boys with Leopold’s Gavin D’Souza defeating Geelong Lawn and Grovedale Tennis Club player Ned Simpson in a marathon three-set match. D’Souza won the first set 7-5 while Simpson hit back winning the second by the same score. They went deep into the third with D’Souza eventually overcoming Simpson 10-8. D’Souza’s younger brother Jason came runner up in the under-16s. Geelong Lawn player and first seed Kirrily McConachy dominated the under-16 girls final in two sets (6-1, 6-1). Carolyn McGann (Centre Court) and Nicole Philoppou (St Albans Tennis Club) won the women’s 35-49 doubles (4-1, 4-2). Tegan Marshall came runner up in the under-18 girls singles and came up just short

in the doubles too alongside fellow Grovedale local Jordyn Aitken. Katie Alderton (Geelong Lawn) and Abbey Mcphee (Surf Coast) placed second in the under-16s. Romeo Salla placed runner up in the over-50s, while Geelong Lawn mixed doubles pair James Coulson and Jill Pavia won the over-50s mixed title by walkover. Coulson and David Kos (Newcomb) lost narrowly in the men’s over-50s doubles 4-2 5-4(9) and in the women’s over-50s Pavia and fellow Geelong Lawn player Fiona Walker also came runner up 5-4(5) 4-2. Over the weekend the Barwon Region team accumulated 271 points, defeating reigning champions Goulburn by 19. Incredibly, the score was more than double the 124 points Barwon scored in the championship last year. Luke Voogt, with Rebekah Schoenmaekers

A depleted Collendina was no match for premiership favourites Anglesea as Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association cricket resumed on Saturday. With a number of regular senior players unavailable, the Cobras are dangerously poised in seventh spot on the ladder, just six points and a small amount of percentage away from the relegation spot. Anglesea won the toss and batted first and Collendina would have been happy having the home side at 5/94. But Anglesea’s depth proved crucial, getting the side to 9/177 from 40 overs. A 66-run sixth wicket partnership between Jacob Nolan (35) and Jack Elliott (32) paved the way. Scott Grant’s promotion to A Grade was successful. The paceman took 5/39 and Andy Higgins (2/21) also bowled well. Dina was never in the contest after its run chase began. Only Curtly Balshaw and Dean Britt reached double figures as the Cobras fell to 46 all out as Chris Hornsey (5/16) ripped through the side while Nolan (3/7) capped off a player of the match performance. Collendina now faces a must-win clash against St Leonards. Collendina stayed in third spot on the B2 Grade ladder despite losing to Little River. Dina batted first but only Izaak Terhorst (33) and Charlie Every (19) enjoyed decent time in the middle. A final total of 93 was never going to be enough although Collendina made the Redbacks work hard for the win. Little River made 4/98 with Noah Jeffrey (2/19) showing plenty of promise. In C Grade, Collendina defeated St Leonards. Dina made 5/132 with Gavin Berry playing well for an unbeaten 45. St Leonards was in deep trouble at 5/28 although it eventually recovered, but not by enough to win. The Saints ended up all out for 123. Collendina enjoyed a strong win against Drysdale in D Grade with Miller (52 not out) and Julian Wilson (40 not out) sharing in an unbroken 98-run partnership. Justin Flynn

Deadly duo prepare to boot goals By Luke Voogt Last year’s Coleman Medallist Tom Hawkins and Geelong star recruit Jeremy Cameron have begun devising plans to terrorise opposition backlines in 2021. “We’ve caught up a couple of times, spoken on the phone,” Hawkins said of Cameron, the leading goalkicker in 2019. “We trained together yesterday as a line group and we’ll continue to work as a whole on our patterns and synergy together. “I’m really excited to work with not only Jeremy but Shaun [Higgins] and Isaac [Smith] as well – some players that have had outstanding careers and have still got a lot to offer.” But Hawkins was circumspect on whether he or Cameron would spend the most time deep in a forward line likely to cause headaches for opposing backmen. The two forwards would play both in the goal square and up the ground “depending on who we play and how we’re tracking,” he said. “I quite enjoy playing up the ground, as Jeremy does. We’re both very different players.

He’s a lot more agile and leaner than what I am. “At the same time he’s really powerful – we did some small drilling yesterday and that probably surprised me a bit.” Hawkins reckoned Esava Ratugolea would play a “big part” in the Cats success despite a mediocre 2020 and a forward line packed with stars. “I think we’ll see him a bit in the ruck,” he

said. “He’s a really good asset for us … players that can play dual roles are really important. “Esava will keep developing, he’s young, he’s raw, he’s come into football quite late so he’s still got a lot to learn.” Hawkins said veteran recruits Higgins and Smith brought a “wealth of experience” and flexibility to the side. Both had the ability to provide run off half-back, kick goals or play across the midfield, he said. Hawkins said he had “loved” getting back into his 15th pre-season training as the Cats prepare for their first Community Series game against Essendon at home on February 18. “It’s going to race around pretty quickly so I’m excited about that,” he said. “Personally I’ve had a great break, I felt like we needed a bit of extra time after what was a pretty challenging year being away from home for so long. “I’ve probably been a bit slower this year in getting back into it – I felt like I personally needed a bit longer time to just mentally refresh.” The big Cat said conditioning staff were happy with the players’ fitness upon their

return and their shuttle test results. “If we can get enough footy in over the next five or six weeks I think we’ll be really well prepared for our first game,” he said. Hawkins also vowed to prepare for the unknown and “do whatever it takes” to complete the season after COVID-19 turned 2020 upside down. He admitted the Cats faced “external pressure” for a flag with the club securing Cameron after falling just one half of football short of a premiership last year. “I find [the grand final] really hard to watch or even think about it,” he said. “I know within myself of a few certain ways that we could have played better. When the time’s right we’ll reflect on that.” But he said the Cats would embrace the challenge “in front of us” and that each player would compete weekly for a spot in the team. “The beauty of our list is we’re going to have a lot of depth,” he said. “We’re grateful as players for the club putting us in that position again. We’ve got a really mature group and we’ll just attack the season like we did last year.”

Geelong Cats charge into shortened pre-season Geelong Cats hit the track this week in preparation for a shortened pre-season ahead of their quest to go one better in 2021. The majority of players had returned to training by this Tuesday, including captain Joel Selwood, who was still sporting protection for a finger that he injured last year. The skipper dislocated his left middle finger in Geelong’s qualifying final loss to Port Adelaide but continued to play throughout the finals. This week’s session comes after the Cats’

first-to-fourth year players completed a two-week block of pre-Christmas training with senior team members joining them sporadically throughout. The Cats have enjoyed a shorter break than usual following their grand final loss to Richmond after COVID-19 prolonged the 2020 season. Pre-season competition is set to be shorter too. Each side will play just twice during a three-week AFL Community Series, with the Cats kicking off the competition against

Essendon at Kardinia Park on February 18. Geelong will take on St Kilda at Moorabbin Oval on March 4 in their second match. The Cats are then set to travel to Adelaide Oval for their premiership season opener against the Crows on March 20. Last December the AFL announced the return of 20-minute quarters this year with the league implementing a floating fixture for the 2021 season. Last year the league shortened quarters to 16 minutes after the COVID-19 pandemic caused

the season to be postponed and consequently condensed. The AFL has locked in full details for the first six rounds. But the AFL has yet to confirm timeslots for the remaining 17 home-and-away games due to the possibility of similar disruptions this season. The league announced that it planned to do so in four to six week blocks at a time. Luke Voogt 31 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 15 January, 2021
