Local kids get crafty Siblings Toby and Abigail joined hundreds of local kids getting creative in central Geelong this week as lockdown ended and school holiday activities resumed. “It was so cute,” their mum Tash Gower said. “They were making fairy potions and little fairies with recycled materials. They had an absolute ball. “They were super excited to be out and about and hanging out with other children again.” Tash said she and her kids were regulars at the school holiday activities and attended multiple events this week. “We were shattered [because of lockdown during] the first week of school holidays, but we were happy to support some local businesses this week. The whole thing is such good incentive to bring people back into central Geelong.” Activities including pop-up craft workshops, neon installations and selfie competitions are set to continue today and over the weekend in Geelong.

Perplexed over trial snub By Luke Voog Geelong and the Surf Coast’s exclusion from planned vaccine economy trials has left proprietors “perplexed” with local commerce groups calling for the region’s inclusion. Torquay Commerce vice president Robert Skehan described the Surf Coast as ideal for the trial given its low number of cases and high vaccination rate, due to hit 70 per cent fully-immunised in a few days. “The ... hospitality businesses I have spoken to are wondering why we’re not part of the trial,” he said. “Our first jabs are above 95 per cent, our

second jabs are [second] best in the state and our case numbers seem to be well under control.” The Surf Coast recorded no new cases on Wednesday, with a total of just five active in the shire. But state government excluded the Surf Coast and Geelong when announcing plans for 20 new vaccine economy trials beginning October 11. The government confirmed Bass Coast, Greater Bendigo, Pyrenees, Warrnambool, Buloke and East Gippsland would be the first municipalities eligible to participate in the trial due to high vaccination rates and

low or no COVID-19 cases. The trials will allow local businesses, venues and events to have higher patron numbers, if all are fully-vaccinated, prior to the entire state hitting the 70 per cent mark, expected on October 26. “It’s probably an opportunity missed, because [the Surf Coast has] a vibrant hospitality community and it would be fantastic to open up that community again,” Mr Skehan said. He acknowledged the Surf Coast Shire’s population and proximity to Melbourne could increase the risk of COVID-19 spreading compared to some of the confirmed municipalities.

But higher vaccination rates and practice at applying current restrictions in refusing service to Melburnians would help negate this, he said. Geelong Chamber of Commerce chief executive Ben Flynn reiterated calls for state government to include Geelong, given the city’s relatively high vaccination rates. “We think it’s a terrific idea and we’d love to be part of the pilot,” he said. “Businesses across Geelong feel like they’re languishing. “With high vaccination rates across the whole region, Geelong is the perfect place to trial the processes and systems to get this right.”

Creating an age-friendly Geelong Greater Geelong will become an “age-friendly city“ following the adoption of a strategy to guide support and advocacy for older residents, according to City Hall. Council endorsed its Respected, connected and thriving - Positive Ageing Strategy 2021-47 earlier this week, committing to a number of priorities that support healthy and happy ageing for people over 55 years of age. The strategy also addresses the need to plan for, and respond to, the predicted growth of this demographic, City Hall said. The Geelong region’s population is ageing, with the number of community members aged 55 years and over expected to increase

from 72,000 to 120,000 over the next 20 years, according to council. The draft strategy was released for public comment for four weeks from May to June. Public feedback supported the three themes, which focus on improving outcomes for people as they age including: • living in safe, welcoming and strongly connected communities; • being respected, supported and encouraged to participate as active citizens; and • having equitable access to places, spaces and services. Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan thanked residents for helping to shape the strategy.

“Ageing impacts everyone and this new strategy will help ensure Greater Geelong is an age-friendly city where residents of all ages can benefit from and participate in the community,“ Cr Sullivan said. “Much like our Clever and Creative community-led vision, this strategy looks to the future and encourages innovation as we extend beyond a ’business as usual’ way of providing services to our older community members. “Older residents are a vital and important part of our community, with a wide range of knowledge, skills and experience.“ Councillor Sarah Mansfield, community health and aged care portfolio chair,

said ageing was everyone’s business. “It’s vital that everyone in Greater Geelong, regardless of their age, feels welcomed, supported and that they have the opportunity to thrive in our community,“ Cr Mansfield said. “The community’s feedback to the strategy highlights that the definition of ageing and its impacts are just as diverse as the population it affects, and this diversity of need is often missed by service providers. “I look forward to seeing the next steps of this strategy and further involvement from community members in co-designing the action plan that will help drive meaningful action.”

Geelong recorded two new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, according to the Department of Health, amid Victoria’s worst day for new infections by far since the pandemic began. Victoria recorded 1438 cases, surpassing the previous highest mark of 950 the day before by almost 500. The local two cases bring greater Geelong’s total active cases to 22, according to the department’s latest data. The Surf Coast recorded no new cases, with five currently active in the shire, while Colac Otway Shire record one new case, its only active case as of Wednesday, according to health data. COVID-19 commander Jeroen Weimar attributed 500 of the cases across Victoria to social gatherings during the grand final weekend. Contract tracing had revealed “significant numbers” of social gatherings on over the long weekend, including grand final parties, other social gatherings, barbecues and backyard visits, Mr Weimar said. Wednesday’s increase brought the total active cases in Victoria to 11,018. Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews described many of the cases as “completely avoidable”. “Actual interviews tell us that many hundreds of people, perhaps thousands of people, have made some choices that meant they’re spending time, not in their own home but in someone else’s home,” he said.

Serenades return to central Geelong Piano accordionist Lucy Riddett was thrilled to again bring music to central Geelong with council’s Street Serenades returning this week, following the easing of lockdown. The Wandana Heights local joined fellow musicians Christine Middleton and Tim Shea in Little Malop Street mall before roaming CBD streets and laneways with her accordion. “It feels really good to be able to bring a smile to people’s faces, and my own,” the 27-year-old said. “Music’s my passion – my creative outlet – so I really missed it a lot.” Lucy’s love of playing began with a piano her parents inherited from a relative.

“That piano had always been in the house and as a kid I just smashed my fists up and down it, but I really wanted to learn how to play,” she said. “And a friend from school started lessons, so I was jealous. I begged and begged my parents until they let me have some lessons.” At age nine, she finally got her wish. But five years later, the “beautiful” soundtrack of French film Amélie led her in a different musical direction. “I just fell in love with the sound of the piano accordion – I became obsessed,” she said. Soon after completing high school, Lucy

Northern councillors Kylie Grzybek and Anthony Aitken dipped their toes at Lara’s main pool on Tuesday ahead of the facility opening a month early today. Council allocated $45,000 in its 2021-22 budget for Lara Aquatic Centre, which traditionally begins operating in November, to open early for the second year in a row. Cr Grzybek, a Lara resident, described the pool as an important asset for the town. “We know how much Lara residents value their local pool, and this provides them with a whole month of additional time to enjoy it,” she said. “With the added health and wellbeing benefits, it was an easy decision for council to invest in opening the Lara pool up a month early.” Council allocated another $400,000 in its 2021-22 budget to allow Kardinia Aquatic Centre to open during the traditional off-season

from May to September. The measures come in response to increased demand from the community, pandemic-related disruptions and redevelopment works underway at Leisurelink, according to council. Lara Aquatic Centre is open 6am-6pm weekdays and 10am- 5pm on the weekend for up to 40 people under current COVID-19 restrictions, and bookings are essential. “After the disruptions experienced over the past 18 months, the additional month of operation at the Lara Aquatic Centre will surely be welcome news to residents,” deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said. “I look forward to seeing community members enjoy the extra time at this facility.” Details: membership.geelongaustralia.com. au/booking

Second dose surge ‘imminent’ By Luke Voogt The Surf Coast is set to become the second Victorian local government area (LGA) to reach 70 per cent vaccination with health authorities expecting a surge in second-dose bookings. According to weekly federal health data, the Surf Coast Shire reached 67.1 per cent of residents aged 15 over fully-vaccinated against COVID-19 last Sunday. Once Victoria reaches 70 per cent, patron limits will increase to 30 per indoor space while public gatherings can increase to 20 fully-vaccinated people, under state

government’s reopening roadmap. Caps will also increase for pools, community facilities, creative studios, weddings and funerals at the 70 per cent mark, expected on October 26. First doses in the Surf Coast Shire, which has a median age of 42, have exceeded 95 per cent for residents aged 15 and over. Queenscliff, which has a median age of 59, surpassed that mark a week ago and continues to lead the nation’s LGAs for fully-vaccinated residents on 83.4 per cent. The previous Sunday the Borough of Queenscliffe became the first municipality to

reach the Commonwealth’s second reopening target of 80 per cent. State government’s reopening roadmap, based on the national plan, allows home visits and community sport to resume, along with significantly increased patron limits, once Victoria hits 80 per cent, expected to occur on November 5. In greater Geelong, second doses increased from 53 to 56.5 per cent in the week to Sunday, with first doses jumping from 81.2 to 86.5 per cent. Barwon Health public affairs director Kate Bibby said about 1500 people were getting

vaccinated at the Ford vaccination hub daily, with “very few spare bookings at the end of each day”. Ms Bibby said Barwon Health expected “a large increase” in second dose bookings in coming weeks. The AstraZeneca vaccine became available to the general public at state-run centres like the hub just over six weeks ago – the current wait time between first and second jabs. Pfizer opened to the general public about five weeks ago, meaning another possible surge in second dose bookings could begin next week.

Igniting a passion for art Grovedale optometry student Jasmine Bizhani rediscovered her childhood love of art at Bluebird Foundation after fleeing Iran with her family at age 12. The 19-year-old remembered government officials questioning her mother and jailing her dad before her family migrated to Indonesia, where they spent four years in a camp waiting for Australian visas. “My mum wanted to become a Christian but she couldn’t in Iran,” she said. “You have to be Muslim, or basically you’re going to jail.” As a child she had loved playing music and acting but was “limited” in that too under the Iranian regime, due to being a girl. She feared she had lost her love of art in the years between, until she began painting with her mum during Victoria’s first lockdown. Then a social worker connected her with

art programs at Bluebird Foundation in South Geelong. “After a while, I was like, ‘let’s give it a try,’ and I really loved it!” she said. “I didn’t have any clue that I’m actually talented in this!” In May, 2021, she and other participants expanded one of her works larger than life, pictured, after she showed the illustration to Bluebird resident artist Cam Plapp. “He was like, ‘I reckon we should paint that on the garage door’,” she said. “It was a time to chill, have fun and have some time off spray-painting.” But the COVID-19 pandemic has hit Bluebird Foundation hard financially, and now the group is calling for donations for its Propeller Project, to help children and youths like Jasmine.

Help for homeless men By Luke Voogt An organisation helping homeless Geelong men has expanded its capacity by 50 per cent following the construction of seven new one-bedroom units. Former Geelong mayor and Samaritan House chair Keith Fagg on Wednesday thanked state government, council and several philanthropic donors for funding the expansion. “What you see before you today is the result of a remarkable collaboration, a powerful example of what Geelong can do at its finest in seeking to support some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in our community,” he said. Samaritan House, founded in late 2011, helps men in greater Geelong who are sleeping rough or homeless by providing accommodation, an evening meal and ongoing support services. The construction of seven new one-bedroom, prefabricated independent living units at the Moolap site will enable the service to support 50 per cent more men reaching out for help. The units are designed to offer independent living for three to six months, with affordable rent to help men transition to longer-term social housing. Local manufacturer FormFlow designed and installed the units from a prototype in partnership with Deakin University’s school of architecture. The design reduces environmental impacts by utilising off-site construction, natural ventilation, solar energy and water tanks, and native landscaping reduces irrigation needs. Regional Development Minister Mary-Anne Thomas on Wednesday visited the expansion of Samaritan House, which state government supported through a $500,000 grant. “Samaritan House is giving some of the

most vulnerable Victorians a roof over their head, helping them transition to a more stable future,” Ms Thomas said. The collaboration has enabled students undertaking apprenticeships in horticulture and landscaping at Gordon TAFE to gain practical experience working on site. “The Samaritan House project will

make a world of difference to people in our community, providing them with stability and safety when they need it most,” Geelong MP Christine Couzens said. Bellarine MP Lisa Neville said: “We’re building a stronger state by investing in the support people need, particularly for those doing it tough”.

Council cans Australia Day Surf Coast Shire Council has cancelled its official Australia Day celebrations, pledging to fly the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island flags half-mast on January 26, 2022. Council voted 6-3 to cease celebratory events on the national holiday following a heated debate on Tuesday night. Councillor Kate Gazzard said the changes would help promote healing and reconciliation. “January 26 is a day that signifies sadness for our traditional owners and other First Nations people,” Cr Gazzard said. “Council is committed to doing something about this by not being a part of celebrations on the day and lowering the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island flags as show of solidarity and respect.” Cr Paul Barker opposed the changes, saying they did not represent the majority of Surf Coast residents. “If we keep forcing change on the community without bringing them along it will cause more division,” he said. Cr Heather Wellington supported changing the date of Australia Day but said this was a federal government responsibility, not that of council. She described council’s exclusion of non-Indigenous groups in its consultation as “totally inadequate”. Federal Victorian senator Sarah Henderson took aim at the decision. “At a time when our community needs hope and unity, these proposals fuel community dissent and division,” she said. Luke Voogt

GEELONG BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AWARDS

Advertising feature

Ever a welcome reception for Pearls and Roses Bridal Established in May 1990 by Geelong local Karen Bourdamis, Pearls and Roses Bridal has become extremely popular among women in the Geelong area and around Melbourne. Now, after over 30 years of design, creation and alteration, Pearls and Roses Bridal has been nominated for the Geelong Business Excellence Awards (GBEA) of 2021. Karen was initially inspired by one of her high school art teachers to pursue a career in the fashion and textiles industry, and was also encouraged by her mother, who handmade all of the family’s clothes growing up. Karen began sewing and making her own outfits at a young age, and in 1985, went on to pursue fashion design at the Gordon Institute of TAFE in Geelong. Following stints at several small businesses doing alterations and custom outfits, Karen decided that it was time to branch out on her own. “I initially created 12 dress designs, and had to sell one to pay the rent for the shop.” Within six months, Karen had hired a seamstress to help her keep up with demand for production. Now, Pearls and Roses Bridal is the leading bridal design house in the region, with two seamstresses and a junior retail member working alongside Karen. Karen credits local women in the region with helping to spread the word about her business. “Because of my outreach to the community in terms of hand-making wedding gowns on site, many brides’ sisters, aunts, cousins and girlfriends would all come to me,” Karen says. “An awful lot of word-of-mouth got me here. I used to do fashion shows in Melbourne Town Hall to build my brand - I dressed one or two clients from Melbourne, then they and their families would come back to me for more work.” Karen and her team provide custom gowns for weddings, debutantes, bridesmaids,

mothers of the bride and other events, as well as alterations. “I’m really proud to have labels that I really look up to now having their customers come to me to have their fitted garments tweaked.” COVID has hit the wedding and events industry quite hard, with Pearls and Roses feeling the significant impact of the pandemic. “I frequently have women come to me and say, ‘Karen, help!’ I’m constantly getting emails about weddings being postponed, or having to alter dresses because a bridesmaid has become pregnant,” she says. “I tell them, it’s okay, it’s all doable. We just put it on ice until we need it again.” Karen is honoured to have been able to work with players, wives, girlfriends and mums of AFL and AFLW players in the region for awards nights such as the Brownlow Medal. Since the pandemic, demand for gowns and alterations has decreased. However, the business has pivoted in a way that still allows growth and stability. Making face masks has been very popular for Karen and her team, as well as the completion of mass commercial garment alterations and repairs sent in from overseas. Karen’s business has supported local endeavours from school, footy clubs and fashion show fundraisers, with money raised going to great causes. This year marks Pearls and Roses Bridal’s first GBEA nominations. “The process has been extremely rewarding - seeing the amount of women my work has touched, I’m really proud because I’ve never really looked back at myself and my business,” Karen said. “To be lined up with all these really cool businesses, I feel like I’ve already won.” Pearls and Roses Bridal is located at 390 Latrobe Terrace, Newtown.

Lara set for food waste bin trial By Luke Voogt About 1500 Lara households will take part in a year-long, $150,000 council trial of a new food waste collection service beginning next month. Windermere ward councillor and Lara resident Kylie Grzybek said she was confident her community would embrace the trial. “The Lara community is doing us all a great service, but I think they’ll also be glad to be the first in our region to experience this new collection,” she said. Participating households will receive a 60-litre orange-lidded food waste bin, a

small kitchen benchtop caddy and certified compostable caddy liners in late October. Kerbside collections of the bin, coinciding with weekly waste collection, will begin on November 5. Food waste accounts for 34 per cent of the average Geelong household’s rubbish bin and is one of the main causes of greenhouse gas emissions, according to council. More than 82 per cent of respondents to council’s Waste and Resource Recovery Strategy 2020-30 survey stated they would support the service. State government has also mandated that

councils must implement food waste collection before 2030. Council will evaluate the trial in late 2022, with plans to gradually introduce the service to other parts of greater Geelong in 2023 and the entire municipality by early 2024. The trial follows the purchase of two in-vessel composting units – including one supported by a $250,000 grant from Sustainability Victoria. The units will allow council workers to process up to 2000 tonnes of food waste each year, significantly reducing the amount ending up in landfill. Council’s circular economy portfolio chair

Belinda Moloney said the initiative would help the environment while creating a valuable resource. “Instead of taking up valuable landfill space and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, the food waste can be processed into compost to be used in our parks or by farmers to grow more food,” Cr Moloney said. “The targeted trial will give us great insight into how we can deliver an innovative full-scale food waste collection service right across greater Geelong.” Council allocated a budget of $150,000 for the trial, a City Hall spokesperson confirmed.

Connecting through art Indiana Petkovic and Jeremy Pryslak have joined Australian-Ukrainians across Victoria showcasing their creativity in recently-released book The Art of Lockdown. Hamlyn Heights fine arts student Indiana contributed a pair of embroidered jeans to the statewide project, which features everything from paintings to chalk drawings and cupcakes. “[Embroidery] was something new that I started because I want to develop the relationship between my culture and my art,” the 20-year-old said. “In Ukrainian culture embroidery is very common – it’s passed through generations of women and my grandmother taught me those skills that she learned from her mother.” The book resulted from authors Chrestyna Kmetj and Natalia Moravski collating work from across Victoria’s Ukrainian community via social media earlier this year. “I was a bit hesitant and didn’t think people would be interested in my work,

but it turns out I was completely wrong!” Indiana said. While embroidery is new for the RMIT art student, she has been interested in drawing and painting for as long as she can remember. “In high school it went from being a hobby to something I wanted to pursue a career in,’ she said. For 25-year-old Geelong West youth worker Jeremy, the opposite is true. “I’m not really an artist, I just had a lot of time in lockdown,” he said. “I followed the page and thought I’d add my own addition.” His drawing of friends from Scouts appears in the book, which he said was made possible by Victoria’s tightknit Ukranian community. “It’s really easy to get community traction if it’s a good idea and that’s what happened essentially.” Luke Voogt

NEWS GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

Cause of battery fire revealed By Luke Voogt A blaze at Moorabool’s Victorian Big Battery most likely resulted from a cooling system leak that caused a short circuit, an investigation has found. Energy Safe Victoria (ESV) released the findings on Tuesday morning after a two-month investigation into the fire on July 30. The independent energy safety regulator conducted extensive investigations at the site while analysing data from site owner Neoen and its contractors UGL and Tesla, which operate the site. ESV found the cooling system leak and short circuit in a 13-tonne lithium Megapack resulted in overheating, leading to a fire in a nearby battery compartment damaging two Megapacks.

The Megapack that caught fire had been in service for 13 hours before being switched into an off-line mode when no longer required as part of the commissioning process. A 24-hour delay in connecting the batteries to the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system also meant no active monitoring of the Megapack alarms.

The regulator also noted further contributory factors, such as the Megapack being switched into an off-line service mode, resulting in its protection and monitoring systems being inactive. These included a high voltage controller that could have operated a pyrotechnic fuse to disconnect the faulty battery unit.

ESV has required the site’s owners and operators to implement additional safety measures including: • full pressure testing of Megapack cooling systems when installing onsite, • inspecting cooling systems for leaks after testing, • shorter connection times to the SCADA system to help alert Tesla with specific alarms,

• a new battery module isolation loss alarm, and • procedure changes for Megapack protection systems. ESV stated work could recommence onsite on Wednesday as the owner and operators had implemented these changes. ESV will continue its investigation to determine if any breaches of the Electricity Safety Act occurred. “Safety is crucial in the delivery of the 300-megawatt battery storage project, which will store reserve power for Victoria,” ESV commissioner Marnie Williams said. ESV has ordered Tesla to provide the final results of its investigation, when available, into how the fire spread to a second Megapack.

Demon fans revel in premiership glory Demons fans across Geelong celebrated as their side broke a 57-year premiership drought last Saturday night. “I was over the moon,” said Lovely Banks resident Justin Pitcher, who watched the game with his family. The long-time Melbourne supporter had feared the Demons would falter during the Western Bulldogs’ blistering eight-goal-to-one run beginning in the second quarter. “Up until two years ago, we would have,” he said. “Going into half time we looked a bit flat.” The Demons looked in real trouble when Marcus Bontempelli kicked his third goal to

put the Dogs up by 19 points midway through the third term. “When Bontempelli kicked that goal, I thought the game was pretty much over,” Justin said. “But they [came back] again. This new group are just so strong-minded and fit.” The game turned when Melbourne midfielder James Harmes exploded out of the contest on the forward flank to deliver the ball to Bailey Fritsch for a set-shot goal. “Then it was just goal after goal!” Justin said. Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver were unstoppable in the centre and up forward as

the Demons kicked seven answered goals in just over nine minutes. Melbourne went on to kick 10 unanswered, to the delight of lifelong Ocean Grove fan Helen Gaffney, who watched the Demons lift the premiership cup with daughter Haylee. The former Melbourne cheer squad member was just one-year-old when the Demons last won the flag in 1964. “We had a ball!” she said. “I was getting messages from people I hadn’t seen for decades.”

All weekday trains resumed on the Geelong line on Monday after eight COVID-19 cases in the past fortnight forced about 300 V/Line employees into isolation causing major disruptions. V/Line on Sunday announced trains would resume from the first service on the Geelong line with all trains to run between Southern Cross and Waurn Ponds stations. Trains to Warrnambool and all the stations in between will also resume. Full trains are also running on the Ballarat, Bendigo, Gippsland and Seymour lines. Full services resumed to a Saturday timetable on the Geelong line on Friday for the AFL grand final eve public holiday. Normal weekend services resumed on Saturday and Sunday. “We apologise to passengers who were making permitted journeys over the last two weeks for the disruption to their journey and thank them for their continued patience and understanding while we worked to return train services across the network as quickly and safely as possible,” a V/Line spokesperson said.

COMMUNITY

MY GEELONG The artist behind a striking depiction of Divinyls frontwoman Chrissy Amphlett and several other murals across Geelong, Glen Smith, shares his artistic journey with Luke Voogt. Tell us about you… I was born and bred in Herne Hill. Apart from a few stints in Melbourne, I have stayed on the west side of ‘GTown’, having lived in Geelong West for the last 20 years. I have a lovely partner Jo, who is also an artist, so we have a very creative household. We don’t have any kids but we treat our two cats Pablo and Little Mumma like our spoilt fur babies. For my day job, I manage the visual arts department at Oxygen College, which is great as I can help the next generation of aspiring artists. How did you get into art? Growing up my mother was an art teacher, so I was constantly exposed to art and had access to art materials. When I first started out I preferred to draw, as I was a bit of a natural and thought paint was too messy. Now it’s the other way around: I stick mainly to painting and have overcome my inability to make a mess… some might say too well! Why do you enjoy street art and painting murals? I started doing street art as a way to make my art practice more accessible. I often make works with a social commentary, and more people can see these messages outside in the street than inside galleries. From doing this, people started commissioning me to do custom murals. One aspect of murals I really like is the instant engagement you have with the public – people get excited to see the work in progress and often visit multiple times to see a mural evolve. A couple that stand out are my Chrissy Amphlett mural, due to the support it garnered locally, and an Alfred Deakin mural at Deakin University’s waterfront campus, where I

worked with and mentored one of my former students, Jack Herd. What are your favourite things to do locally? I like to stay local, so I often walk around Western Beach or ride around the Barwon River for a bit of exercise. If I’m after some local culture, I pop into Boom Gallery or Geelong Gallery to take in some exhibitions. During the week I get my coffees from Geelong West Social Club and on the weekend,

if I’m out for lunch, I often visit Sunday Geelong at Boom or 7 Origins. Living near Pakington Street, we are really spoilt for choices.

the vulnerable in society and ensure hospitals remained functional, but it wasn’t easy at times. I just try to stay positive about it all and keep reminding myself that there is an end in sight.

How are you coping with COVID-19? Like for most people, COVID-19 has taken a bit of a toll. It feels like artists have been hit exceptionally hard financially with most festivals and events cancelled over the past year. I appreciate this had to be done to support

What’s something about you that people might not know? People probably don’t realise I did martial arts for many years and even now I do Tai Chi several times a week . I often do this down by the river when taking a break from working in my studio.

USSR trip a focal point at gallery Psychiatrist and new Bellarine Peninsula local Christos Pantelis first took up photography on a trip to Greece in 1975 and has “not put the camera down since”. He finds himself in the lens as he takes Luke Voogt behind the Iron Curtain for a glimpse into life in 1980s Soviet Russia.

lmost half a century since Christos Pantelis took up photography “seriously”, his snap of a monastery perched atop the cliffs in Meteora, Greece, remains one of his most prized. “I was at the end of my second year of medical school at the University of Melbourne, in 1975,” the Bellarine Peninsula psychiatrist remembered. “The Greek Club had organised the trip and it was an opportunity to visit my parents’ homeland and meet relatives I had only heard about. “The monasteries atop the cliffs in Meteora were quite extraordinary. I visited this area again in 1982 but still prefer my photo from that first trip.” After finishing medical school in 1979 and working as a resident at St Vincent’s Hospital, he took a year off in 1982 to devote himself to photography and exploring the world. He travelled to Malaysia, before returning to Greece and travelling across Western Europe. Then, he stepped out of his comfort zone and went behind the Iron Curtain. Back then, Russian president Vladimir Putin was a young KGB agent, the Berlin Wall still divided eastern and western Germany and ABBA was big, even in the USSR, according to Christos. “It was not usual for westerners to travel to these countries as tourists, especially the USSR,” he said. He began his journey across the Eastern Bloc by crossing the Greek-Yugoslav border, stopping first at Lake Ohrid, one of Europe’s oldest lakes. The lake was a favourite holiday destination for other Yugoslavs, but Christos was most fascinated with the locals. “The hay bearers were astonishing – middle-aged women who carted huge bales of hay on their backs,” he said. Christos encountered a wedding procession in Ohrid and photographed the wedding party and the newly-married couple in their home. Next, he moved to Hungary, and after leaving Budapest spent a day in Szentendre, on the Danube, capturing the relationship of a local father and son on film. Then, he entered the USSR, through Ukraine. “I was able to join an English tourist group a few days after I arrived in Kiev,” he said. “A visa was required for every city I visited, and I was not to venture outside of those cities. “We had designated guides who acted as chaperones for the whole trip. “But I went out of my way to meet local people outside of these groups. “The people I met were warm and generous, even when they had little. They didn’t have the access to the things we have – there were times I saw queues for ice cream in Kiev and things like that. “I had the impression it was dangerous for them to get too close to foreigners. Obviously the regime was oppressive and people had to be cautious – the KGB was ever-present. “But they were very interested to get a perspective of outside as well.” The group then travelled to Uzbekistan, visiting cities along the Silk Road – Bukhara, Samarkand and Tashkent – which were full of colour, beautiful temples and crowded open marketplaces, he said. The country neighbours Afghanistan, which the USSR was then at war with. But their next destination, Moscow, was a stark contrast to the Silk Road cities. “Moscow was rather grey, sombre, and seemed very serious. The English group left after Moscow, and I travelled to beautiful Leningrad, now St Petersburg. “There was a feeling of being monitored throughout the trip in the USSR, especially so as we got closer to Moscow and Leningrad.” Christos took many photos, using two cameras and a tripod, of people going about their daily lives in Leningrad.

“During one of my photography sessions, I was approached by a suspicious-looking man in a trench coat,” he recalled. “He asked me about my pictures and made small talk. “He then gave me a small, sealed container – like a sardine can – that could be used to hold coins. I considered this very unusual and worrying. I wondered what was inside and if it was somehow a way to monitor my movements. I decided to trust my feelings and dropped the container into a nearby canal. “A few days later, I was travelling by train to Helsinki with a fellow traveller, an older American tourist. On the border with Finland, I was taken off the train and questioned as my belongings were examined. “My fellow traveller was wondering how to contact my family, should I not return. “I had 80 roles of exposed film and I thought I was going to lose it all, but they left it alone, so I assume they weren’t too worried about it. “That suggested they knew what I was photographing. Were they looking for that container?” After two and a half weeks in the USSR, he crossed into neutral territory. “I recall being so pleased to see the smiling faces of the Finnish border police and seeing fresh oranges and healthy-looking cows.” But his weeks behind the Iron Curtain shaped his outlook on how people coped in difficult circumstances. “It was a lesson in humanity, adversity and the resilience of the human spirit that I have carried forward in my professional life as a psychiatrist,” he said. Christos travelled through Scandinavia and Western Europe, before returning to Greece, and a subject that inspired his early

photography. He and a lawyer from Athens visited the breathtaking monasteries of Mount Athos, an intriguing autonomous region where hermit monks isolated themselves from society. “Access was by boat and foot,” he said. “We arrived at each monastery before sunset, at which time the gates would be locked and the monks would retire before early mass at 2am or so. We would join early mass, followed by breakfast at daybreak. The monasteries were austere institutions, which had not changed greatly since they were built. They used to house hundreds but their numbers had gradually dwindled to around 50 or less.” He also photographed nearby monastic hamlets, where villagers lived alone or in small dwellings and worked on handicrafts. He moved to London in 1983, where he worked as a psychiatrist and researcher for almost a decade. His beloved aunt Paraskevi, who had schizophrenia, inspired him to pursue that field. Paraskevi followed Christos’s parents migrating to Australia from Greece in 1955, the year he was born. “She was warm, engaging, quite humorous, and was always spoiling us,” he said. “She was quite important in my life and actually coped pretty well, and was well-liked in the community. However, the symptoms of her schizophrenia would torment her, and at times caused her and those around her a great deal of grief.” He continued to study schizophrenia in Australia, and conducted world-leading research using imaging to map brain changes in young people developing the disorder and other conditions.

In 2004, he and fellow professor Dennis Velakoulis established the Melbourne Neuropsychiatry Centre, and Christos continues to work with schizophrenic patients, often online amid COVID-19. He has continued to pursue photography, especially on the Bellarine Peninsula, which he and his wife visited regularly since returning to Australia in 1992. They moved to the peninsula in May 2020, and during the pandemic Christos has set out to capture seascapes at twilight and daybreak in his new coastal backyard. Christos recently digitised many of his early pictures taken on Kodachrome slides and is exhibiting them, most for the first time, at Focal Point Darkroom and Gallery in North Geelong. The gallery’s Members Exhibition reopened on Wednesday following the easing of lockdown, and features photographers from across Geelong – including Christos’s daughter Zoe. “She’s taken up my old film cameras and we’re taking photos together down here,” Christos said. “She’s quite talented actually – she’s got an interesting perspective.” For Christos the exhibition is yet another show of human resilience, both by local photographers and gallery owner Craig Watson, who recently renewed the lease for the business despite the pandemic’s devastating impact. “I think we need to deal with adversities that we’re confronted with, and it’s great when we move forward in a creative and positive way,” he said. “I’m grateful to Craig for his enthusiasm and perseverance, especially over the last 18 months during such difficult times.” Details: focalpointdarkroomgallery.com.au

SBS, 7.35pm

Nine years after Letters and Numbers last graced our screens with new episodes, the format is back with a comedic twist. Its loyal audience, who demanded the show’s return, can let out the victory squeal: the new and improved edition has arrived. Wordsmith David Astle is back on board, as is maths marvel Lily Serna, with Michael Hing (pictured, The Other Guy) the new host. Well-known comedians, including Hamish Blake, Matt Okine, Jennifer Wong, Aaron Chen and Susie Youssef, are upcoming copmpetitors. Tonight, Suren Jayemanne, Jennifer Wong and Merrick Watts are joined by Bridie Connell to put their word and numerical abilities to the test.

Host Sophie Monk returns with her dry wit, megawatt smile and bombshell wardrobe for the third season of this reality dating bonanza, but the same can’t be said for the exotic island location promised in the show’s title – previous seasons have taken place in Mallorca and Fiji. Nevertheless, we’ve all become adept p at compromise p and adapting during the pandemic, which has closed the door on international travel. In tonight’s return, the gaggle of singles heads to a villa in northern NSW where they hope to find a match and resist the temptation of new potential partners to win the public’s affection, and the $50,000 prize. It’s no small feat.

It is now more important than ever to take steps to avoid social isolation. It goes without saying that feeling lonely and isolated doesn’t feel great, but what you might not know is just how much of a health risk it can be. The fact is that, as well as being unpleasant, research has linked experiencing loneliness to an increased risk of different health problems and diseases – some of them as serious as heart disease and depression. On the other hand, research also confirms that people with strong social relationships are more likely to be healthier and live longer. Unfortunately, according to the Australian Loneliness Report, one in four Australians regularly feel lonely. Even more concerning a survey showing that almost one in three people aged between 60 and 85 felt isolated from family and friends during the coronavirus pandemic. But, interestingly, it’s quite a different story for residents of Ingenia Gardens communities. A separate survey conducted around the same time as the one mentioned above, found that 82 percent of Ingenia Gardens residents had a positive outlook on life and 90 percent were moderately to extremely satisfied with the sense of community they felt. Madonna Jackson, Portfolio Manager Ingenia Gardens puts such positive survey results down to several things. “Our residents are able to draw on the strong sense of community and belonging that has helped them navigate the past eighteen months of ups and downs,” she explains. “Simply knowing that they were surrounded by like-minded people, in a community where they’d already established relationships, has made a big difference.” It’s not just during these challenging times

where community living protects against social isolation – far from it. “Our residents are from all walks and different stages of life,” says Ms Jackson, “and our weekly program of social events really reflects that.

“Residents tell us that being able to access these clubs and activities at their fingertips makes life easy,” she says. For more information about the benefits of community living at Ingenia Gardens

Diabetes research grants awarded Victorian’s living with diabetes may have new ways of treating and preventing their condition in the future thanks to new project funding. The Diabetes Australia Research Program in Victoria has awarded 19 research projects funding to develop ways to reduce serious complications of diabetes. Diabetes Australia CEO Professor Greg Johnson said he hopes the $1.1 million grant will help the 1.8 million Australians who have diabetes. “This year we mark the 100-year anniversary since the discovery of insulin and look forward to the next discovery that transforms the lives of people with diabetes,” Professor Johnson said. “Diabetes research has improved the quality of life of people living with all types of diabetes and we hope the research announced today can lead to more breakthroughs.” Each project will receive up to $60,000 in funding. Some of the projects include researching a protein released by the liver to create a long-lasting protein injection, research into treatment for people who have undergone kidney transplants and heart surgery and research into the effectiveness of resistant starch, found in foods like whole grains and legumes. These research projects will be undertaken at some of Victoria’s leading research institutions including Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, Monash University, Deakin University, University of Melbourne, La Trobe University, St Vincent’s Institute of Medical Research and the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Professor Johnson said these grants will help support the prevention, management and hopefully a cure for people with diabetes and gives them hope of not having to live with the disease.

Purr-fectly happy at home It’s a good thing that feisty Geelong great-grandmother Sandy Dalrymple gets some help around the home. She needs it to ensure she’s as fit and as healthy as possible to keep her four cats in the life of luxury they’ve grown accustomed to. Sandy started out with moggies Michaela and Lizzie – then Richard and Ginger turned up to her Norlane unit one day and refused to leave. “They’ve adopted me, and that’s that!” the 78-year-old laughs. The cats, who sleep on Sandy’s bed and sit in the lounge and watch TV with her, clearly recognise a cheerful home-maker when they meet one. Sandy had eight children, and during the early years juggled boiling cloth nappies with cooking casseroles for her tribe, while walking and catching the tram to get around, as she’s never driven a car. Her truck-driver husband Owen died five years ago and, although Sandy has cancer, she refuses to complain about anything. “What’s the use of whinging? It doesn’t change anything. I just grin and get on with things,” she says. Sandy is on a level two home care package through Uniting AgeWell and gets help with housework, gardening and has provision to get in some meals. She’s also bought a new bed and lift chair through her package to make life at home a lot easier. Vision aids she acquired through her package mean she can carry on knitting and reading. “Uniting AgeWell is marvellous, they’re so kind,” Sandy says. “I get transport to medical appointments, and it’s always great to have someone helping out with housework, especially during lockdown. My carer is great company.” Sandy says all this extra care makes it easy to remain upbeat.

“I chat to my family, one of my daughters lives close by, and of course I always natter to the cats,” she explains. The animal lover also has two birds, Cheeky and Smokey – and she talks to them too! Sandy says should she need higher levels of care one day, she’d be keen to move into Uniting AgeWell Kalkee Communities of either Murray or Nangatta. “I don’t want to impose on my family, they’re so busy. Both these facilities are excellent, I’d be happy and well looked after there.” Pets are not only allowed but encouraged. Even fussy cats! Though bringing an entire menagerie of animals is another issue. Sandy is one of many clients in the Geelong area living their best lives at home through Uniting AgeWell. Rebecca Smith, Home Care director, North West Victoria and Tasmania says Uniting AgeWell has a multitude of services in Geelong and that the “superb service and care” provided to home care package clients is what leads to so many word-of-mouth referrals, with business in the area growing. Uniting AgeWell Kalkee Community Programs Care Advisor Shell French says there are more than 100 clients in the Geelong and Surf Coast areas currently receiving a Government-funded home care package with the organisation, giving them access to services from personal care and domestic assistance, through to nursing care and allied health services like physiotherapy, respite care, social connection and assistive technology. Services are also available at any time on a self-funded basis. For more details on Uniting AgeWell’s home care services in Geelong, phone (03) 5243 9566.

The care and assistance Sandy receives from Uniting AgeWell rivals the care that she provides to her pets! (Supplied)

Exhibition examines iconic art An exhibition re-examining one of Australia’s best-known artists has reopened at Geelong Gallery following the easing of lockdown locally. Prior to his death in December 1917, Frederick McCubbin was one of the most widely known and successful artists of his time. He was celebrated and critically acclaimed for his large-scale ‘national narrative’ paintings including Down on his Luck (1889), A Bush Burial (1890), On the Wallaby Track (1896) and The Pioneer (1904). The acquisition of these paintings by major public collecting institutions has also undoubtedly played a significant role in the now-iconic status of these works. These institutions include the National Gallery of Victoria, which acquired The Pioneer in 1906 and Geelong Gallery, which purchased A Bush Burial at the turn of the century. These works have impressed themselves powerfully on the public consciousness over time, according to curator Lisa Sullivan. “Their significant public profile has also led to these paintings being the subject of re-evaluation and reinterpretation by contemporary Australian artists, through the lens of gender, cultural diversity and inclusion,” Ms Sullivan said. “More than a century after McCubbin painted these works, our ideas of nationhood have evolved. “We understand the negative impacts of colonialism, and we have a greater understanding of the wide social diversity of immigrant experience, of the capabilities and integral contributions of women – beyond the prescribed gender roles depicted in historical narratives – and of the significant environmental impacts caused by clearing the land.” Drawing largely from Geelong Gallery’s permanent collection, the exhibition brings together works that re-interpret key paintings by McCubbin through the lens of cultural diversity and feminism. These include paintings and other works by Juan Davila, Robert Hague, Jill Orr, Polixeni Papapetrou, Christian Thompson and Anne Zahalka.

YOUR SAY Achieving council gender parity Thank you for Dr Peter Mansfield’s very interesting Friday Feature, Geelong Independent September 24, on the 17-year campaign for women’s voting rights in Victoria and the active role of Geelong women in signing the Women’s Suffrage Petition tabled in parliament on September 29, 1891. The unqualified right of all women – noting that shamefully First Nations women were initially excluded – to both vote and stand for election in all three spheres of government was finally achieved in the 20th century, but only after protracted struggles. Today the focus for women’s political rights is gender equality in representation of federal 20 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 1 October, 2021

and state MPs and councillors. In Victoria, where women represent 43.8 per cent of councillors, the state government has set a target of gender parity for the next council elections. With the City of Greater Geelong Council behind the state average at 36 per cent, a new Geelong network – Empowering Women 50/50 x 2025 – has been established to expedite parity by encouraging and promoting progressive women candidates through training opportunities and mentoring. Geelong women interested to stand for council election, or to support candidates, and to join the gender parity celebrations in 2024 are invited to contact the network for further

Community spirit shines There we were on Friday with a public holiday that meant nothing; no-one could go anywhere or do anything. My family (in Melbourne and Geelong) had just decided that the only way we could do something together over the long weekend was to have a pie during the grand final. Then out of the blue, a neighbour turned up in full footy gear, with two beautifully

decorated little cakes to eat during the footy – just the thing to go with a pie! That’s typical of Anglesea a true caring and sharing town; and so much appreciated in theses days of lockdowns and isolation. Melva Stott Anglesea

SPORT

GCA reveals plan for cricket season Cricket matches are set to begin across Geelong on November 13, Geelong Cricket Association (GCA) has announced, based on advice from Cricket Victoria. Cricket Victoria made the recommendation last week with the state predicted to reach 80 per cent of residents over 15 fully-vaccinated by November 5. Under state government’s reopening roadmap, community sport will recommence once Victoria reaches this target. Despite November 5 falling on a Friday, Cricket Victoria recommended commencing the following weekend to allow for unforeseen circumstances. “This provides a window of 16 weeks within which to complete a season ahead of finals,” GCA secretary Peter Edwards said in a letter to clubs on Tuesday. Edwards advised the season would consist entirely of one-day matches for the GCA’s top three leagues. The decision to switch to all one-day games for the second consecutive year due to COVID-19 will allow all teams to face each other twice in the top two leagues.

“One-day matches provide the most flexibility

and opportunity for fixture adjustments should snap lockdowns be imposed,” Edwards said. “First XI matches will be white ball and coloured apparel before Christmas, and red ball and white apparel after Christmas to provide variation in playing conditions.” Although GCA1 will require two additional playing days, scheduled for Australia Day (Wednesday, January 26) and Labour Day

(Monday, March 14) next year, to achieve this. “The GCA3 competition will not be able to complete two full rounds of matches,” Edwards said. “Consequently, a seeded conference format – two conferences of six teams – will be adopted, based on performance.” GCA plans to commence synthetic wicket competitions a week after turf leagues on November 20. “For the hard wicket competitions, sizes and make-up will be determined once additional affiliation requests are received,” Edwards said. “Requests to affiliate additional teams will be issued shortly and may differ from originally planned 10-team graded competitions. “All of the planning considerations advised above are based on our current knowledge of the roadmap. “The dynamic nature of plans may mean further alterations to fixtures if, for instance, vaccination targets are achieved ahead of time or are achieved later than the government’s current indicative timeframes.” Luke Voogt

All set to take to court By Luke Voogt Tennis Geelong has vowed to “be ready” for the summer season a day after Victoria is scheduled to reach 80 per cent vaccination against COVID-19. After much review and discussion, Tennis Geelong has scheduled the junior and senior 2021-22 summer seasons to begin on Saturday, November 6, according to president Donna Schoenmaekers. “We’ll be ready,” she said. The season will run a normal 17 weeks culminating in grand finals on April 9, 2022. Tennis Geelong plans to complete eight rounds before Christmas finishing on December 19, and resume play on January 29. “The balance of the season will run through to April 9, with no play on the Labour Day long weekend,” Schoenmaekers said. Victoria is forecast to reach 80 per cent double doses – the threshold for community sport to resume under state government’s reopening roadmap – by November 5. 26 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 1 October, 2021

If Victoria fails to reach the milestone by this date, Tennis Geelong will rule round 1 a draw and play will start in round 2 instead. “It is a relief to have some degree of certainty about when competition can start, and some assurance that once we start, we shouldn’t have the interruptions we have seen over this winter and [in other seasons during the pandemic],” Schoenmaekers said. “What we don’t know at the moment is what requirements will be in place for players, clubs and the association to comply with state government regulations. “We have had restrictions and compliance requirements in the past 12 months and the players and clubs have done well to abide by these so we could continue to operate, so I’m sure we will see this again.” Junior and senior team numbers are back to pre-COVID levels, according to Schoenmaekers. “Clearly people are keen to return to the courts,” she said. The spring 1 triples season was scheduled

to start on September 2, but lockdowns forced Tennis Geelong to abandon the competition. “The upcoming spring 2 season was originally planned for a November 4 start, so this may still be in question,” Schoenmaekers said. “Teams will be graded into six sections for a five-week home-and-away season and two weeks of finals. “If play is not possible on November 4, the season will be pushed back a week and the finals reduced to one week, in either instance finishing December 16.” Tennis Geelong has cancelled its current winter Tuesday Midweek competition, with only four rounds played so far. “The committee, however, will be in contact with the club reps to see if there is interest to play up to three rounds once we are able, to get the ladies back on court and create some enthusiasm for the summer season,” Schoenmaekers said. “In the interim, everyone will be able to get back to coaching and training in preparation for the new seasons.”

Snapper plague after lockdown ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos After our short lockdown the fishing has been on fire along Geelong waterfront with snapper starting to dominate reports. Anglers casting soft plastics around the many structures in and around the area have had great success landing snapper to 6kg with plenty of much larger fish. Adam Van Der Lugt from Trellys Geelong fished the waterfront on grand final day to land a snapper weighing 5kg on Zman Slim Swimz. St Helens rocks have also had some snapper reports coming through with anglers soaking baits into the night and pulling some quality fish to the shore. Baits such as pilchards and squid have been the standouts with fish to 5kg being taken. Salmon and tailor have also showed up in plague numbers around Royal Geelong Yacht Club. The fish have been super aggressive snatching up anglers’ plastics and hard body lures making some fun fishing. Flathead have been very active in the same area with all three common species – bluespot, sand and rock – latching onto anglers’ lines. Eric from Trellys found some nice rock flathead during the week to about 45cm with gulp nemesis plastics proving the best lures. Clifton Springs through to Queenscliff has been fishing pretty well for calamari. The lack of boats on the water has really allowed the squid to rejuvenate in the area and there are plenty there to be caught. Size 3.5 jigs have been a standout and in particular the new Shimano Clinch rattle jigs. Offshore Barwon Heads has been fishing red hot as of late with snapper and gummy sharks running riot. The 30 metre mark towards Torquay has been the spot to be with snapper to 6kg and sharks to 25kg, both school and gummy. Fresh chunk and strip baits have been super effective and fishing a tide change will increase your chances immensely. Wurdi Buloc Reservoir has been a hot fishing location for anglers in search of a trout with the lake producing some quality captures for anglers casting along the main rock wall. Shallow diving minnow hardbody, soft plastic and spoon style lures have been working a treat at the moment with trout to 4lb being taken.

Stewart best and fairest for 2021

Tom Stewart.

All-Australian defender Tom Stewart has won the 2021 Carji Greeves Medal, adding the Geelong Cats’ best and fairest award to his growing list of achievements. The clever defender, in his fifth AFL season, enjoyed his finest year yet despite missing the Cats’ last five matches due to a foot injury. He averaged 24 disposals and nine marks per game, and earned his third All-Australian selection en route to the Carji Greeves Medal. Fellow defender Jack Henry placed second after a strong season. In just his fourth year, Henry was a pillar of strength as a tall defender. He played 24 games, missing only the opening round clash with Adelaide. Tom Hawkins placed third after finishing runner-up in the Coleman medal and leading Geelong’s goal kicking for the 10th consecutive season. Hawkins finished the season with 62 goals

Favourite son Kelly returns to Cats James Kelly had his eye on a Geelong coaching job before the departure of a high-profile trio, he revealed after returning to the Cats. Kelly approached the Cats prior to Corey Enright, Matthew Scarlett and Mathew Knights announcing they would leave the club recently. “Over the last few weeks we’d just sort of floated it … but no one had left,” he told a press conference on Tuesday. “In the back of my mind, I always wanted to get back into coaching, whether that was going to be this year or the next.” He had “started having the conversation” with a few different clubs before the Geelong assistant coaches announced their departures in quick succession. “When the opportunity to come here was made more serious, then I jumped at the chance,” he said. “I was certainly on the phone to my manager pretty quick. “We made the call and just asked, ‘would there be a job available, and if so is there any chance we could we throw our hat in the ring?’

“There are still a lot of really, really good people here and the opportunity to be a part of it again was something I wasn’t going to let go past.” The Cats on Monday announced they had appointed “one of Geelong’s favourite sons” Kelly as an assistant coach. “It’s such a wonderful place and there are so many fond memories,” he said on Tuesday. “I genuinely love Geelong and love this footy club, so coming back here is always going to bring positive feelings and emotions. “I still live in Geelong and I’m a Geelong person and feel like I always have been. “Even being at another club, I’ve always had an eye on what’s been happening down here.” A veteran of 313 AFL games, including 273 in the navy and white hoops, Kelly earned three premiership medals and an All-Australian blazer during his 16-year career. Geelong selected Kelly at pick 17 in the 2001 national draft and the versatile and selfless midfielder-defender filled a plethora of roles before being traded to Essendon.

After retiring Kelly spent three seasons on the Bombers’ coaching panel before taking a break from football to look after his children during COVID-19. “While my wife was working, having someone at home and keeping things relatively normal for the kids at home was the priority,” he said. “Now we’re ready to switch roles – I’ll come back to work and my wife will have some time at home.” Geelong Cats’ football general manager Simon Lloyd welcomed Kelly back to Geelong. “James has great football intelligence, has experience as a member of Essendon’s coaching staff and has a demonstrated ability as a strong communicator,” he said. “James also brings a great love of the club and so brings additional passion to the role. “We welcome James back to his football home and look forward to his insights and contribution to the club.”

Geelong defender Lachie Henderson has announced his retirement from the AFL following the 2021 season. Henderson played as both a forward and defender, but his most vital role for the Cats was down back. The 31-year-old played 89 games in the navy and white hoops, and was a member of Cats finals teams in each of his six seasons at Kardinia Park. Geelong delisted Henderson at the end of the 2019 season, but the club re-selected him at pick 35 in the rookie draft. The tall defender used the second chance to rejuvenated himself as a footballer, playing a further 35 games matching up on and often nullifying opposition key forwards. A member of Geelong’s grand final team in 2020, Henderson played in 13 finals for the club. He played 206 AFL games and kicked 117 goals while representing Brisbane, Carlton and Geelong over 14 seasons. “Lachie has made a significant contribution since joining the club in 2016,” Geelong Cats football general manger Simon Lloyd said. “He was a strong clubman and always focused on improving his teammates. “Lachie could always be depended on and helped the club to the finals in each of his seasons with us.” Meanwhile, category B rookie Stefan Okunbor has returned to Ireland following three years with Geelong Cats. Okunbor, from Tralee in county Kerry, played 17 VFL matches in his three seasons. Playing mainly as a defender and run-with player, Okunbor overcame an achilles injury and limited game time due to the COVID-19 shutdown. “Stefan showed great desire and commitment to become a better player. He was limited by injury and the lack of games through the shutdown,” Lloyd said. “He is now back in Ireland and we hope he can enjoy a successful Gaelic football career. Everyone at the club wishes Lachie and Stefan well in their future endeavours.”
