Chamber toast to winners

Message from PM Malcolm Turnbull

Children’s fashion label Oishi-m is the toast of the Geelong region’s business community after being crowned the 2017 Powercor Geelong Business of the Year.

A capacity crowd of 600 people filled the Pier Geelong last night to see the Torquay-based independent clothing brand receive the accolade at the Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards gala presentation dinner.

Jubilant Oishi-m owner Miyo Fallshaw accepted the coveted Powercor Business of the Year Award accompanied by several of her staff.

Oishi-m is a unique clothing range for infants and toddlers that was started in 2005 and is now a flourishing business with a retail store and adjoining head office in Torquay as well as a global e-commerce website.

Chair of the awards’ judging panel Simon Flowers said the story of Oishi-m’s success over the past decade was inspiring.

“It shows what an innovative, independentlyowned retail business can accomplish against its bigger competitors with a very limited shop front and effectively having six full-time staff,” Mr Flowers said.

“The business has built a cult following among their target market and now sells to 37 countries worldwide. They are also very community-minded.”

Earlier in the night Oishi-m took out the Roderick Insurance Retail Award for the second straight year.

Twenty-one awards were presented on the night, including the inaugural Business Leader of the Year Award, sponsored by Adroit, and the Young Entrepreneur of the Year, sponsored by Deakin University.

Long-serving St John of God Geelong Hospital chief executive officer Stephen Roberts was named Business Leader of the Year, with Jake Munday receiving the accolade as Young Entrepreneur of the Year.

Both Mr Roberts and Mr Munday will now be shortlisted as finalists in the Victorian finals of the prestigious Australian Leadership Excellence Awards in Melbourne on 21 September.

Geelong Chamber of Commerce chief executive Bernadette Uzelac again thanked the generous support and contribution received from the awards’ fantastic sponsors and event partners for allowing the chamber to put on a brilliant event.

The Geelong Business Excellence Awards is a very important opportunity to reflect on and recognise the abundant talent found across the region’s business community.

Today’s increasingly complex and competitive marketplace means it has never been more important to remain flexible Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and responsive to changing demands, expectations and opportunities.

No matter the nature, size or complexity of your business, success belongs to those who embrace a culture which backs good ideas and learns from taking risks.

Recognising this, my government has a clear economic plan for the region. Through measures like our $20 million Regional Jobs and Investment Package, together with major road and rail upgrades and a new NDIA national headquarters, we are supporting competitive business innovation to grow jobs, upgrade or build new infrastructure and increase skills.

We are committed to strengthening businesses in the Greater Geelong region, and every single element of our plan is focused on achieving this.

That’s why we’ve reduced taxes on small and medium businesses and extended the instant asset write-off.

I am greatly encouraged by the achievements of those honoured at the awards, and thank them for their contributions to our community and the economy.

May the Geelong Business Excellence Awards’ special showcase inspire award finalists and their peers to even higher levels of excellence and innovation in the year ahead.

Geelong Chamber of Commerce operations manager Kelli Finalyson, centre, with awards project assistants Kim Udvardy and Alex Hamilton.

“The Geelong Business Excellence Awards continues to grow in stature every year and it’s such a thrill to see so many local businesses eager to put themselves through the judging process and be recognised.

“The awards have been running continuously for 32 years now and are regarded as one of the most prestigious business awards in Australia.

“We look forward to celebrating more business success in 2018.”

The combination of print and digital promotion to a massive local audience was key to the partnership’s success, said Indy managing editor Tony Galpin.

“The Geelong Indy has one of the biggest community-newspaper circulations in Australia,” he said.

“Combine this with the paper’s extensive local online reach and the results are spectacular.

“The Indy’s thrilled to have helped restore the awards’ profile to where it belongs.”

Mr Galpin said the Indy was already planning to help deliver a bigger Geelong Business Excellence Awards next year.

“The awards are an important recognition of the local businesses driving prosperity in the region,” he said.

“The Indy is aware of how crucial it is to acknowledge the excellence of the local operators helping create the jobs and opportunities of tomorrow.

“We look forward to playing our part in a bigger and better Geelong Business Excellence Awards for 2018 and beyond.”

Title a big boost, says 2016 winner

Avalon Airport chief Justin Giddings.

Skybus is now operating between Avalon and Geelong.

Sky the limit for sponsor tually, the Geelong-to-Sydney commute can be quicker than the Geelong to Melbourne one!”

Avalon Airport prides itself on an easy travel experience, with ‘Flying Made Easy’ emblazoned across all its branding.

Mr Giddings takes the promise seriously.

“We’ve recently upgraded the terminal with pristine white work benches, mobile device charging ports and free wi-fi.

“We also noticed how many people were using our check in area, so we added a second café there that’s doing really well because it’s functional.

“We want the terminal to be comfortable and useful, and as far as we’re concerned it’s a work in progress.”

The upgrades extend beyond the terminal.

Passengers might notice a smoother ride on the runway due to a recent $10 million overlay.

A new website has been launched, menus updated, furniture refreshed and online parking is in the pipeline, Mr Giddings says.

The arrival of SkyBus is a particularly highprofile recent upgrade. SkyBus Avalon City express launched in February, with the recently added SkyBus Avalon Geelong Express to operate for six months until the completion of a tender process.

On top of all this, an industrial precinct has been launched at the airport, with work on a new Cotton On Group distribution centre commencing in June.

Mr Giddings is forthright when nominating the next big change for Avalon Airport.

“International, definitely,” he says.

“We can’t wait.”

Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards sponsor Avalon Airport recently completed the first two years of its 10-year commitment from Jetstar.

Additional destinations since the Jetstar arrangement “have been popular“, says Avalon Airport chief executive Justin Giddings.

Adelaide, Hobart and the Gold Coast are well known holiday destinations, he says, while the proximity of Avalon to the start of the Great Ocean Road “ensures the inbound numbers are strong“.

But patronage of Avalon’s Sydney flights, which are particularly popular among the local business community, is “through the roof,” Mr Giddings declares.

“Avalon to Sydney is quick, easy, and suits the traveller who needs to commute for the day. Ac-

Adroit Insurance Group is passionate about serving the Geelong community.

After winning the Geelong Business Excellence Awards Business of the Year in 2016, Adroit is committed to sustaining its already impressive brand.

“Our organisation is big on being part of the community,” Adroit Insurance Group Geelong branch manager Darrell Fenton says.

“We’ve strived to build that over the last 15 years. We love being a part of the Geelong community.”

Adroit is a sponsor of this year’s excellence awards and Mr Fenton said it was a terrific opportunity for local businesses to be recognised for their hard work.

“It’s a great opportunity to be involved with all the other businesses in Geelong,” he says.

“We want to be a part of it. We were absolutely rapt to win it last year.”

Adroit is a perfect fit for Geelong.

“Geelong people certainly enjoy their city,” Mr Fenton says.

“The people of Geelong always try and help out local businesses. It makes it a nice, strong community.”

Service is Adroit’s motto.

“We are certainly a service based organisation,” Mr Fenton says.

“Adroit offers superior customer service through a dedicated account manager who provides the best insurance solution for each and every one of our valued clients. Our actual KPIs are measured by client contact and visitation rather than just dollars.”

While Geelong has taken its share of knocks in the business world, Mr Fenton said the city always recovers quickly.

“The city of Geelong is going well - it’s up and about at the moment,” he says.

“There’s a good feel for the city and we want to grow with it.”

Oishi-m has kids covered Category: Retail and Business of the Year Winner: Oishi-m Torquay-based children’s brand Oishi-m is the overall winner of the 2017 Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards.

The company, whose name is pronounced oyshee-em, was announced as Business of the Year after earlier winning the retail category of the region’s biggest business awards during a glittering presentation night at waterfront Geelong’s The Pier on Thursday night.

Established in 2005, Oishi-m is a flourishing business with a Torquay store, an adjoining head office and global e-commerce website.

Oishi-m says it produces the opposite of fast, throwaway fashion. Its quirky, colourful garments are instead designed for functionality and comfort, generating comments wherever children adventure and play.

Oishi-m outfits are designed to endure as hand-me-downs, giving each wearer a lasting, positive experience for children aged from three months to eight years.

Founded on talent from Torquay’s surf industry, the business is run mostly by 15-plus parents working part-time or casual hours for an equivalent 6.25 full-time positions.

Oishi-m.com shipped 12,000-plus orders all over Australia and to 37 countries worldwide last financial year.

The beautiful Torquay store is packed with the brand’s own designed-and-developed products, along with Australia’s most impressive toddler footwear collection.

“Oishi-m is an independent Australian children’s brand amplifying the stoke of childhood,“ the company says.

The Oishi-m team at a Geelong Mums luncheon.

“From our unique and cherished clothing to the communities we nurture, we believe our business can be a force for good as we help express and celebrate the personality in each child.”

Oishi-m has set a five-year focus to: · be Australia’s coolest children’s-wear store - a

must-visit destination for visitors to Geelong and the Surf Coast; · be front of mind for cool, funky children’s clothing and footwear; · achieve online sales growth aggressive domestically and organically internationally;

· capitalise on exposure, such as through Channel 10’s Offspring show; · continue providing a great workplace; · continuously improve customer experience, and · remain a sustainable business, valuing the work/life balance.

Powercor thanked, Deakin revealed as 2018 awards naming rights sponsor Geelong Chamber of Commerce is delighted to announce that Deakin University will become the new naming rights sponsor of the Geelong Business Excellence Awards in 2018.

To be now known as the Deakin University Geelong Business Excellence Awards, the announcement was made this evening at the 2017 awards gala presentation dinner at The Pier Geelong.

Powercor has been involved with the prestigious Business Awards for the past 12 years, including the last five as naming rights sponsor.

The company has played a key role in raising the Awards profile in the region’s business community.

Powercor corporate affairs general manager Melissa O’Neill says the awards play an important role in highlighting the outstanding work of local businesses in the region.

“Powercor has been very proud of our association with the awards which showcase the best and brightest businesses in Victoria so it is bittersweet for us to pass the baton to Deakin. We wish Deakin and the Geelong Business Excellence Awards all the very best,” Ms O’Neill says.

Deakin Vice-Chancellor Professor Jane den Hollander AO says the university is delighted to sponsor the 2018 awards.

“The awards provide an important opportu-

nity to recognise and celebrate the business excellence that exists in our wider Geelong region, and to acknowledge the best of the best,” Professor den Hollander says.

“Deakin is proud to call Geelong home and we are passionate about supporting the communities we serve, especially through driving innovation and productivity. Deakin is a key player in the future economic, social and cultural growth of our region, particularly in preparing graduates for the jobs and skills of the future.

“And sponsorship of the 2018 business excellence awards fits perfectly with these core drivers.”

Geelong Chamber of Commerce chief execu-

tive officer Bernadette Uzelac thanked Powercor for its support of the Awards.

Ms Uzelac says the chamber is excited to begin a new partnership with Deakin University.

“On behalf of our the Geelong Chamber of Commerce, we thank Powercor for their association with Australia’s oldest continuously running business awards and we appreciate their support to ensure the awards remain the biggest event on the region’s business calendar,” Ms Uzelac says.

“It’s fitting that this year’s awards attracted record entries and we are already planning to build on that success with our new naming rights sponsor Deakin University.”

A ‘serial success’

Team comes from family During the recession of 1991 Mario Grgic purchased a closing real estate office, renaming it North Geelong Real Estate.

Mario was an immigrant to Australia, arriving in 1965 and beginning his real estate career in 1975.

Mario’s wife, Marie, and daughter, Helena, helped with reception and bookkeeping in the early days.

Mario’s son, Joe, would soon join the family business as the agency went on to build a history of success in northern Geelong.

After continuous growth, the business became Harcourts North Geelong in 2010, ensuring it re-

Category: Family Business Second Generation Winner: Harcourts North Geelong mained at the forefront of real estate technology while delivering best-practice services.

Harcourts North Geelong is now proudly a third-generation family business, employing 25 staff and engaging the services of many local tradespeople and businesses.

The business specialises in residential sales,

property management and commercial sales and leasing.

Harcourts North Geelong knows that successfully buying and selling real estate is about understanding people.

The business plays a significant role in some of the most memorable moments in a person’s life, births, deaths, marriages, divorces, retirements and immigrations to name just a few.

The team believes it is their role to protect clients’ experiences, both financially and emotionally.

Jake Munday is a serial entrepreneur and proud Geelong local who started his business journey at just 23 years of age while still working full-time for a telecommunications company.

Now, aged only 27, he owns and runs Jake Munday more than seven online and bricks-and-mortar businesses.

He is the managing director and majority shareholder of Pearly Whites, the director of The Bronx Pressed Juices, the franchisee and director of Magic Hands Car Wash, the director and owner of Swing Boss, and the director of Social Fuel and Social Fuel USA. Jake says that, like many entrepreneurs, he doesn’t have any formal qualifications and left school as soon as he could.

He started working in customer service and soon became the manager of one of the busiest telecommunications stores in Australia before going into business sales.

At 23, and while still working full-time, he bought the Dog Lovers Facebook page.

He used social media marketing to increase the number of page fans from 43,000 to more than three million, earning a reported $40,000 a month.

Unsurprisingly, the Dog Lovers experience “really developed“ Jake’s entrepreneurial passion, he says.

He now runs a number of successful online and offline businesses alongside Pearly Whites Australia.

Jake says he loves the variety, challenges and rewards that come with an entrepreneurial lifestyle.

And access for all Established in 2007, Great Ocean Stays (GOS) is a holiday booking and property management service on the Bellarine Peninsula.

In 2015, in response to increasing competition from emerging booking services, business owner Christine Smith decided to change direction, and identified a growing market opportunity - the disability tourism segment.

GOS began to reposition the business to target this market. This coincided with Christine’s own diagnosis of a brain tumour, which seriously threatened the viability of the business and left her with a disability. However, it also gave her further insight into the disability market’s needs, and importantly, the drive to realise a vision.

Her vision was to create a region inclusive of all people, inspire tourism businesses to be accessible, encourage everyone to realise the social and economic benefits of increasing access.

GOS was dissatisfied with the inequity between the tourism experience available in the re-

Redine builds bright future on success in construction Category: Advanced Manufacturing and Industry Winner: Rendine Constructions Local building company Rendine Constructions is the winner in the Advanced Manufacturing and Industry category at the Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards.

Rendine Constructions is a second generation, family owned and operated company.

Its journey began in 1973 as a small carpentry subcontractor. Founder Laurie Mills traded on a reputation of delivering quality workmanship, giving the company a name synonymous with excellence, value and integrity.

Yet it was never the intention of the company to rely on its talents as builders. The company understood that by working with its suppliers and clients, it would deliver even better results. Operating on the principle of nurturing long-term relationships for the benefit of the projects and m, ultimately, the client has led to the company’s current standing.

The team of 27 boasts estimators, engineers, project managers, trade qualified foremen, labourers and a supporting marketing and accounting administration team - this collection of expertise is rarely found within a construction company.

Together they have delivered countless firstclass constructions across Victoria, valued up to $10 million. Fire and ambulance stations, supermarkets, schools, road and bridge works, warehouses, sporting stadiums, libraries and community centres represent some of its achievements.

Enso trades on quality design, finish Local builder Enso Homes reached the finals of the Advanced Manufacturing & Industry and Small Business 4-10 Employees categories at the 2017 Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards.

Established in 2016, Enso Homes is a lowvolume, quality builder based at North Geelong.

The company builds new homes across the Greater Geelong, Surf Coast and Werribee regions.

Quality construction, striking architectural designs and excellent customer service are paramount to the builder’s mission of meeting every client’s unique needs to provide them with their perfect home.

Enso Homes was born of an observation that the majority of small-house designs in the current market lacked street appeal because they predominantly target first-home buyers or investors with limited budgets.

Chris Balazs at his Sage Choice farm.

Sage a cut above Local butchery Sage Choice won the Sustainable Business category at the 2017 Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards.

The core values of the Sage integrated farming enterprise include natural, local, traditional and ethical.

Sage Choice has grown from a part-time beef farming hobby for founding owner Chris Balazs to today’s integration of three farms, 15 farming partners, an on-farm butchery, wholesale distribution, retail outlet and an online store.

Harking back to traditional farming techniques, bespoke butchery and natural wholesome foods are the tangible aspects of Sage’s vision of creating an integrated food production company.

The whole carcass butchery, providing “hard to get” bespoke cuts of meat is famed as the base for creation of premium dishes and keeping artisanal butchery alive.

The regenerative farming practices provide the production performance for the livestock while regenerating the environment.

F R E E

Enso Homes occupied the consequent gap in the market by offering small-house designs with quality floor plans and facades that offer architectural merit for downsizers or house-proud young professionals.

The goal of Enso Homes is to become the number one-choice for people wanting to build a quality home on their own terms, and one that meet the needs of their family.

Enso Homes is a member of Housing Industry Australia and accredited with a Domestic Builders Unlimited - 44641 licence.

The company is constantly improving its procedures and processes with the goal of achieving ISO 4801 Occupational Health and Safety and ISO 9001 Quality Management accreditations.

Enso Homes says the accreditations will assist in establishing the builder as an industry leader while helping the company stand out from other small home builders.

Category: Sustainable Business Winner: Sage Choice Always looking to re-invent, Sage Choice is growing its product offerings, bringing on eggs, pork and soon true free range chicken meat. The company supports the staff of Sage to be actively engaged in growth by taking on new initiatives like agri-tourism strategy including workshops and farm tours.

Although the company actively boasts a multitier marketing strategy, developing and promoting its product types and sales channels, the central strategy of Sage Choice this year is “to bring them to the farm”.

This is a point of difference to other butcheries and a definite competitive advantage. Likewise, the farm has an artisan butchery with complete processing transparency which is a point of difference to other farm-based meat producers.

Ethical approach aids hearing clinic

The talented team at Raw Edge Hairdressing.

‘Edge’ on service Local salon Raw Edge Hairdressing has won the Customer Service category at the 2017 Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards.

The current owner purchased the Chelsea Lane salon in 2010 after managing it for nine months. The salon had been operating for 12 years but was on the brink of closure.

It took five years of blood, sweat and tears to turn the salon around but when it was finally profitable it was relaunched as Raw Edge Hairdressing.

At relaunch, new staff members were hired and since then it has grown from a one-woman operation to a thriving salon with seven staff.

Customised marketing techniques were developed to aid this process and the salon is now Geelong’s leading colour specialised salon.

It has a database of more than 3500 clients, an outstanding online presence, and is now one of few multi award-winning salons in Geelong.

The salon has tripled its revenue, the profit has reached a generous six figures, and a system

Waurn Ponds Hearing Clinic has emerged as a finalist in the categories for Health & Wellbeing and Customer Service at the Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards.

Established in 2011, the clinic evolved out of being disenchanted by working for companies that became focused on sales targets to sell more high end products to pensioner clients by calling this a clinical skill. The clinic wanted to use its skills to get better outcomes with the products that clients could afford.

Waurn Ponds Hearing Clinic believes it’s always better to be aided to communicate well than to avoid aids because clients can’t afford the product recommended.

The clientele consists of private paying customers, government hearing service clients receiving subsidised services and companies paying for services for their workers.

While other hearing clinics concentrate on pensioner testing and hearing aid sales focused on upselling clients from subsidised products to meet sales targets, the Waurn Ponds clinic has di-

versified into a wider range of hearing health care.

The clinic tests children aged 3-6 and provides additional aural rehabilitation post device fitting.

Waurn Ponds Hearing Clinic has also established the only locally based ear wax removal service.

The clinic is focused on navigating the changes in the industry, from product to service-based income streams and competing against multinational services.

Waurn Ponds Hearing Clinic is proud to be growing its business while remaining focused on an ethical service that delivers great outcomes for clients.

A recent focus on unethical service delivery in the industry by large retail chains was one of the reasons for the foundation of Waurn Ponds Hearing Clinic.

“Focusing on providing good diagnostic audiology services to local medical services and giving honest information to patients on the options to improve their hearing are the need of the hour,” the clinic says.

Category: Customer Service Winner: Raw Edge Hairdressing has been implemented so the managers can guide staff to operate the business without the owner being in attendance.

Raw Edge provides services to all men and women, prides itself on selling only socially responsible products, and is the only green-accredited salon in Victoria.

The past year has brought further advancements for Raw Edge, with the owner stepping off the floor completely, the salon preparing for relocation to new premises later this year, and the owner building on the success to launch a second business, Summit Salon Coach, where she mentors owners of other salons.

The owner and team are excited about the future of Raw Edge Hairdressing.

Room first in city Escape Room impressed the judges of the Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards, placing as a finalist in the categories for Micro Business 1-3 Employees, Tourism & Hospitality, and Emerging Business - Escape Room’s Sally Curtis and Chris Gumley Under 3 Years.

After completing an escape room activity in Melbourne in 2015, enthusiasts from Geelong had the idea of bringing the concept back to their home town.

They loved the experience, especially the thrill of solving all the puzzles and the exhilaration of ’escaping’ from the challenging room.

The future business partners believed they had identified a gap in the Geelong market for an allages, socially interactive activity.

After months of planning and research, Escape Room Geelong (ERG) was born, with a plan to open by Christmas 2015.

An important decision was choosing and securing a strategic location to open the city’s first escape room.

Their first foray into the business world was not easy, working full-time jobs with limited funds and time along with some broken bones and a pressing deadline to open.

However, the operators overcame all the obstacles to open in January 2016.

The business took a risk in a non-existing marketplace, relying on passion and self-belief as the driving forces.

Geelong’s first an interactive puzzle room designed for all ages reaches a broad demographic, stipulating no alcohol, no dress code, and no discrimination.

The small, owner/operator, home-based business now has two directors working part-time in Geelong and as part of the Escape Room Melbourne group, allowing for the use of branding and cross-promotion between both venues.

Success sewn up Category: Best First Year Business Winner: Maree Pigdon Sewing School Maree Pigdon Sewing School provides sewing classes, sewing lessons, courses, creative workshops and expert sewing tuition to students aged eight to 88.

The sewing classes are delivered in person in the school, with morning, afternoon, evening and weekend courses covering beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.

The business’s online sewing courses are sold via video tutorials and digital patterns that service the expansive global customer base across 12 countries.

Owner Maree Pigdon is proud that the business is a national multi-award winning school built on 48 years of sewing, design, dressmaking and teaching experience.

The vision is to continue expanding the student base and global reach, and to employ more teachers, she explains.

“The plan is to offer 12 additional weekly classes, which will double the student base and allow the school to offer more classes presented by current teachers and hire up to eight new teachers, Maree says.

“It is also hoped to increase the number of online sales and launch an additional digital product monthly.”

The point of difference at Maree Pigdon Sewing School is that the studio is fully equipped with all students’ needs, sewing machines are provided and haberdashery is available for purchase at affordable prices.

The school teaches fashion design, how to fit garments to unique body shapes, and has a maximum of seven students per class.

Business bounces along with pride Massage Champions’ Elicia and James Crook.

A champion team Massage Champions is Australia’s leading provider of business coaching for massage therapists.

“Our goal is to improve the health of this nation by helping one million extra Australians access massage therapy in the next 5 years,“ says Massage Champions’ Elicia Crook.

“We do this by training therapists to grow their booking numbers and run successful businesses.

“While running my own massage clinic for 16 years I learnt what works and what doesn’t. I noticed a big gap within the industry because what we experienced real time in our business was nothing like what I had been taught in my massage course, so I launched Massage Champions in August 2015 to fill this training gap.

Elicia says her strategy is to offer a cuttingedge “one-too-many” approach utilising online video training and social media communication.

“This enables us to work with hundreds of clients across Australia and New Zealand and create an impact magnitudes larger than our competitors who work one-to-one in their local areas.

“For 2017 our goal is to help 500 massage therapists become ’champions’ as they each turn their passion into a rocking business.

We do this through two premium programs: Fully Booked Without Burnout, an intensive sixweek online program for therapists with five to 10 clients weekly but aiming for 25 consistently; and 6 Figure Therapist, a 12-month incubator for therapists wanting a clinic with staff and a turnover reaching $500,000.”

Supatramp was born from two families with a desire to develop a strong and successful business in Geelong.

Identifying an emerging sector in the indoortrampoline industry, they started with a blank sheet of paper and a strong vision.

They looked for key points of difference to set them apart and become leaders in a high-growth industry.

The company’s priorities in the development stage were: safety first and foremost, investing in the local community, including trades and suppliers; engagement with local youth; and creating a stable and profitable business.

The result is a $4.3 million state-of-the-art indoor entertainment complex with multiple activities under the one roof.

Three years on, with an additional centre opening in Wodonga, the company has an enormous sense of pride in what has been accomplished.

Mini Maestros facilitates nurturing spaces to develop the whole child, celebrating their social, cognitive, physical and emotional breakthroughs.

Listing raises hopes Local legends in chance to win clubs $5000 of fairytale return

Gazza’s making a move

By Luke Voogt Gary Ablett has recently relisted his Gold Coast mansion refuelling speculation the superstar midfielder could return to Geelong.

Ablett relisted the property in the Gold Coast suburb of Ashmore with former teammate and agent Danny Stanley, following season-long speculation he will return.

Revelations the house was for sale came as Gold Coast Suns chief executive officer Mark Evans batted away questions about Ablett, who will miss this weekend’s game due a hamstring injury. “(Round 23) is not his last game, because he is contracted for 2018, so let’s hope he keeps playing,” Evans told the media on Wednesday.

“He’s contracted for another year and that’s my first priority, not talking about farewells to player, but making sure they want to be here the following year.”

When a reporter persisted in questioning Evans on Ablett’s future,

Garry Ablett the Suns CEO slapped him playfully with a brochure and told him to “stop”.

But Stanley, who played alongside Gold Coast Suns Ablett for seven years, said reports the midfielder had “just” listed the house were wrong.

‘Privacy’ to keep figures on council bullies secret

By Luke Voogt City Hall has refused to reveal how many of Geelong’s sacked councillors were alleged bullies despite an MP’s warning that investigations will resume if any are re-elected.

The Indy asked for the figures after reporting Christine Couzens’ threat last month but complaint review panel chair Susan Halliday rejected the request, citing “privacy”.

“It is inappropriate for me to comment on the specific activities of the complaint review panel,” she said.

The Indy did not seek names, only figures such as the number of sacked councillors with bullying complaints and how many were either resolved or unresolved at the time of the sacking.

The Indy also asked for the number of complaints against members of previous councils, given the potential 20-year scope of the panel’s investigations.

Ms Halliday’s 2015 report that led to the sacking said some councillors “bully people” and that “a number” were “repeatedly identified as people who caused certain employees and external parties concern”.

Bully probe stalls An independent panel has failed to resolve any further council bullying investigations since January.

Complaint review panel chair Susan Halliday confirmed the lack of new resolutions last week after the Indy reported in January that 38 complaints plus 19 not defined as bullying or harrassment had been resolved.

“To date 57 matters have been resolved by the complaint review panel. Work continues on a number of complaints currently before the panel,” Ms Halliday said.

A council spokesperson said the panel now had 20 unresolved complaints, up on seven in January.

Ms Couzens, Labor’s Geelong MP, told the Indy last month that any unresolved investigations of councillors prior to their sacking would “automatically” resume if they won re-election in October.

“I’m sure the people of Geelong will cast their vote taking into consideration who the candidates are and their past history,” she said.

In Brief Bomb scare

Western Victoria MP Simon Ramsay called on the Andrews government to release the names of people identified in the Halliday Report.

“I ask this to protect the good name and reputation of those councillors not implicated as bullies,” he told parliament.

The government had a responsibility make Geelong residents aware of any “suggestion of poor conduct”, he told the Indy later.

“The community has a right to know if there are councillors recontesting that would go under investigation if (elected).”

The sacking had already “smeared” and “pointed the finger” at the dismissed councillors and former mayor Darryn Lyons, he added.

Mr Ramsay said only the State Government could name any of the alleged bullies, using parliamentary privilege.

Sacked councillor Eddy Kontelj had “no problem” with naming and shaming alleged council bullies.

“If that’s what the community feels is required I’ve got no issue with that,” he said.

Mr Kontelj is one of five sacked councillors so far who have publically declared their intent to run for office.

“I was certainly not investigated.”

Society’s gift is to open doors for aspiring musicians Indented Head singer Brianna Ekberg says a Geelong music scholarship was instrumental in taking her career to the next level.

“As a young classical singer I found it difficult at times to receive recognition for my hours of intensive rehearsing,” the 18-year-old said.

“I really hope one day I will be back performing in Geelong, having established myself as an accomplished artist on the world stage.”

The young songstress won the Music Society of Geelong’s 2016 Vocal Award, earning $1000 towards her studies.

Ms Ekberg’s musical career began in earnest when she joined the Geelong Youth Choir at age eight.

Ms Ekberg was 13 when the Victorian Opera came to Geelong to perform children’s opera Brundibar.

She auditioned and earned a role, and has since performed in four of Victorian Opera’s youth productions.

Ms Ekberg has put the money towards studying Classical Voice Performance at the Melbourne Conservatory based at the University of Melbourne.

The society’s scholarships allowed young musicians like her to follow their musical dreams, she said.

Music Society of Geelong’s Chris Hosie described Ms Ekberg as “highly talented and motivated”.

He encouraged local music lovers to attend the society’s next competition 2pm on Sunday at the Keith Humble Centre, at the Geelong College Senior School, Newtown.

For $5 Geelong’s aspiring musicians can enter in the competition’s five categories of vocal, brass, strings, piano and wind.

A bomb scare closed Melbourne Rd at Corio as specialist police carried out investigations with robots.

Police later reported that the previously suspect “package” discovered on Monday contained only a mobile phone, leading to the road reopening around 3.30pm.

Fire risk City Hall has ordered a Lara recycling centre to take preventative action amid concerns over waste piled nine metres high on the Broderick Rd site.

City Hall said it was working “closely” with authorities to ensure that the centre’s owners complied fully the Fire Prevention Notice.

Assault hunt Police are hunting an unidentified male for an assault on Latrobe Tce, Geelong, in the early hours of 25 June.

Police this week released an image of a male (pictured) who would “be able to assist the investigations” of the 2am incident, which could lead to a charge of intentionally causing injury.

Local legends in sporting chance

Double Take First The Peninsula Hotel turned up the scales with a 3.5kg, 36cm-diameter hamburger for which its intention of free publicity was richly rewarded.

Not to be outdone, Norlane’s The Pizza Box burst the button a couple of days later with a two-metre monster of crust and toppings (pictured).

Certainly a challenge for the biggest glutton, the “Geelongest Pizza” also kept the takeaway busy solving obvious cooking and delivery issues, said owner Kali Hovey.

Big burgers, big pizzas - what’s next? Is anything left?

Double Take suggests a Big Curry.

Followed in the morning, of course, by the Big… Meanwhile, and somewhat more unexpectedly, a rogue robot will go on a rampage of destruction at Waurn Ponds this weekend.

Well, that’s in virtual reality, anyway, as part of an odd open day activity at Deakin University’s southern campus.

Prospective students wearing VR headsets will have just three minutes to stop “Pixel the Robot” wrecking a High Voltage Laboratory as the high-tech vandal appears around the campus in a series of CCTV images, the uni explains.

Alternative activities across Deakin’s two Geelong campuses include a discussion on women in sport and a demonstration of midwifery skills.

Without disrespect to the latter offerings, a virtual-reality battle with a robot on the loose sounds just a little more exciting!

COMMUNITY SAVINGS: John McKinnin (third from right) celebrates the purchase of a Norlane op shop with fellow Lions members. 171865 (Rebecca Hosking)

A ‘roaring’ trade

By Luke Voogt The recent purchase of an op shop will put “thousands of dollars” back into the north Geelong community according a local Lions Club.

The Corio Norlane Lion Club’s John McKinnin led efforts to raise the money to make the purchase “viable” alongside fellow member Linda Rudge.

“Once it’s actually standing on its own two feet we’re looking at least $30,000 per year going back into the community,” the 74-year-old said.

The club will take over ownership in September following the $195,000 purchase.

The purchase would eventually save the club about $12,000 per year, the amount it had paid for the lease, Mr Kinnin said.

“We invested a lot of time and effort into it.”

The store was more an op shop, the Norlane local said.

“It’s started to become a drop in for locals who are having trouble or just want to come in have a cup of tea.”

Lions Club funds and profits from the store paid for the $35,000 deposit, while members, families and friends raised a further $24,000 for stamp duty and “viability”.

“When the shop can stand on its two feet they’ll get their money back,” Mr McKinnin said.

The eventual savings would go to the Lion’s breakfast programs at Northern Bay College, supporting Geelong’s homeless and other community projects, Mr McKinnin said.

“If we can help someone we do.”

The long-time club member repairs bicycles and gives them a “new home” with Geelong’s “needy”.

“I’ve been able to do about 1100 bikes in two years,” he said.

“Given this, we except to receive fantastic applications from this region.

“Viva Energy is excited to be launching the Geelong Refinery Club Legends Award,” Mr Heyns said.

“As active members of the community, we at Viva Energy want to recognise role models in greater Geelong who selflessly volunteer their time and effort to keeping our sports clubs running.

“We’re looking forward to showcasing and sharing the work of these unsung heroes.”

The Indy will run regular stories documenting the progress of the Club Legend competition over the next two months.

Nominations are open now at clublegend.com. au.

$42m work deal A Geelong builder has won $42 million in western Melbourne health care projects eight months after securing a contract to build Geelong’s NDIS headquarters.

Techne Development said the two Wyndham Health Precinct projects followed the company’s work on $80 million worth of other health-care buildings in the area over the past five years.

“We understand what’s required in health and have a proven ability to deliver demand driven service-based facilities,” said Techne managing director Scott Vickers-Willis.

“Winning the NDIS bid clearly showed that the Federal Government was also confident in our ability to deliver an exemplary model of accessibility design.”

The Geelong NDIS project, incorporating the façade of the former Carlton Hotel, near the intersection of Malop and Myers St, is valued at $120 million.

Man charged on Balcombe death

WE''RE BACK: Geelong Library & Heritage Centre manager Deb Sansom celebrates Wednesday''s reopening.

(Rebecca Hosking)

Library open after panel falls fixed Geelong’s ‘state-of-the-art’ library reopened on Wednesday following repairs to dislodged ceiling panels this week.

City Hall closed the Geelong Library and Heritage Centre on Tuesday for unscheduled maintenance after the panels became dislodged on the landing between levels two and three.

The City’s acting director investment and attraction Roger Grant apologised for the closure.

“The safety of the public and library users is our number one priority,” Mr Grant said.

“We have worked hard to resolve this issue so that library members and the public can get back to enjoying this wonderful facility.”

after taking 100 aditional statements.

Ricky Balcombe was killed in front of schoolchildren and horrified witnesses near the lifts inside the side entrance to Market Square shopping centre.

He was unarmed and with friend Paul Bellia when a hooded man armed with a boning knife stabbed him in the legs and chest at 3.20pm.

Witnesses described the man as 167cm tall and hooded with long dark hair. They reported the man fleeing on foot towards Yarra Street.

Police charged Hague with Ricky’s murder 17 months later on 29 October 1996.

But the Director of Public Prosecutions chose not proceed with the case on 6 February 1998 after one witness hanged himself, another overdosed and a third had a mental breakdown.

The police case focused on a fight in a car park a fortnight before the killing.

Mr Hague has since publically protested his innocence.

Ricky Balcombe’s family praised police and Homicide Squad Cold Case detectives on Thursday for their efforts over the past two decades.

Hopes high: Gazza’s making a move From page 1 “It’s been listed with us exclusively since 2 June,” said the former team-mate, who started his career at Ocean Grove Football Club.

Like Evans, Stanley declined to comment on the future of his former teammate and friend.

“He hasn’t told me and I haven’t asked,” he said.

Injuries have plagued the two-time premiership player during his tenure at the Gold Coast, which recently sacked coach Rodney Eade.

The former coach told SEN on Thursday that he was unsure whether the private 33-year-old would ask for a trade again.

“He’s still playing good footy, albeit he’s missed

a few games,” Eade said.

Former Geelong mayor Darryn Lyons predicted that Ablett would return to Geelong based on information from “Gold Coast insiders”.

“Yes, I believe he is returning to Geelong, my source has said,” he told the Indy on Thursday.

He declined to reveal his source but said he had also known about Patrick Dangerfield coming to Geelong.

Lyons added his voice to that of TV personalities such as former Footy Show host Craig Hutchison who predicted Gary Ablett would be at Geelong in 2018.

inspection of the facility to investigate how the panel became dislodged.

The inspection showed that the issue was related to flat ceiling panels. New fixings have been installed to secure the affected panels.

Kane Constructions, the City and WorkSafe conducted a full safety audit to ensure there is no risk to library users.

However, contractors may still be carrying out works in some sections of the library during the coming days, Mr Grant said.

We will endeavour to ensure there is as little disruption as possible to library users.

Library members and visitors can visit www. grlc.vic.gov.au/glhc and the City of Greater Geelong Facebook page for further updates.

Homicide Squad cold case detectives arrested and charged long-time suspect Karl Hague for the murder of 16-year-old Ricky Balcombe on Wednesday.

The teenager was fatally stabbed in Market Square Shopping Centre, Geelong Mall, on 5 May 1995.

The investigation was reviewed in 2016 and formed part of the Channel 7 Million Dollar Cold Case program which went to air in March.

Police offered a $1 million reward for information leading to a conviction in the hope of re-energising the investigation.

An extensive investigation by Crime Command detectives over the past 22 years led to the arrest, police said.

A 44-year-old Bell Post Hill man appeared before Justice Lex Lasry in the Melbourne Supreme Court on Wednesday and was charged with one count of murder.

He was remanded in custody to re-appear at the Melbourne Supreme Court on 30 August for a mention and directions hearing.

Detectives told the court they had new evidence,

Wire barriers save lives: the ‘proof’

12353891-ACM23-17

By Luke Voogt Torquay’s Tayla Stevens is “living proof ” wire barriers save lives.

The 20-year-old has become the local face of TAC’s latest campaign after surviving a crash on the Western Highway, Sunshine, in early 2016.

“I hit the wire barriers in the middle of the highway,” she told the Indy Wednesday.

“They stopped me from going onto the other side and into oncoming traffic.”

The then 19-year-old P-plater was driving from Melbourne to Ballarat when an unknown object hit her windscreen.

“It made me jump, and I lost control of the car,” she said. “(The wire barriers) took the impact of the car and actually slowed it down, rather than bouncing it back into the traffic that was coming behind.”

Tayla admitted being tired and said she could

just as easily be “living proof ” for TAC’s fatigue campaigns.

“Oh my God, I would recommend a 15-minute power nap.”

She said a “big night” two days earlier had left her fatigued.

“It was pretty stupid of me - I put a lot of people at risk, not just myself. But we all make mistakes and learn from them.”

Tayla was devastated to lose her 2008 Holden Barina, which “was in pretty good nick”.

“But (my parents) were happy I was alive,” she said.

Tayla said wire barriers could be dangerous for motorcyclists, but that for the majority of motorists they save lives.

TAC recently launched the Living Proof campaign, to show how measures like child booster seats, wire barriers, safer cars and safer speeds saved lives.

Push to delay vote splits leaders Lyons lashing for local ‘conga line’

By Luke Voogt A push to delay Geelong’s council vote has split the city’s business community, with two leaders clashing publicly over the issue.

Kings Funerals boss Michael King wants elections returned in October as planned, but Faggs Mitre 10 figure Keith Fagg has urged State Government to give its administrators more time to fix alleged cultural issues at City Hall.

Mr King is a candidate for election to council, while Mr Fagg cited stress and bullying after resigning in 2013 from his 10-month stint as Geelong’s first directly elected mayor.

Both men have significant prior histories of community involvement, including positions on various local boards and committees.

They spoke out after Committee for Geelong led a delegation to Spring St last week, controversially seeking an extension of the administrators’ reign at City Hall.

Mr King condemned the delegation as “faceless men and women” trying to deny ratepayers’ “democratic rights”.

“These lobby groups are often heard to say that Geelong needs one voice and they are right - it should be the council led by the community’s elected representatives,” he said.

“These 20 people should stand up and own their anti-democratic beliefs rather than working behind the scenes on cosy backroom deals.

“These lobby groups are trying to hold on to the additional power they’ve gained in the vacuum left by the sacked council.“ Mr King accused the delegation of attempting to remain secret to avoid the public seeing its “fingerprints all over this attempt to influence Geelong’s future”.

“This meeting was not announced publicly. If the people in this delegation want a say in the future direction of Geelong they can put their hands up to be elected.”

Mr King said the government should have appointed the administrators full-time if it had

concerns about them having enough time to effect change.

But Mr Fagg said the administrators needed more time.

“Organisations, particularly one of that size, do not change overnight.”

Mr Fagg believed that the administrators needed the additional time to implement changes recommended in a 2016 commission of inquiry report into governance at City hall.

“Go back to what the actual commission has found,” he said.

Mr Fagg described the report as the “deepest and most comprehensive” ever into Geelong’s council, saying it revealed major shortcomings in governance and culture.

Mr Fagg said he experienced the issues firsthand as mayor.

“The council was not working nearly as effectively as it could.”

The administrators’ existing 18-month term was a “political compromise”, he said.

“They need much more than 18 months.”

Mr Fagg said the commissioners who led the inquiry would not have “lightly“ recommended a four and a half year term for the administrators.

The Andrews Government initially planned to implement the recommendation after sacking council in April 2016 but backed down to the 18-month term amid a public outcry and opposition from Coalition and Greens MPs in the Upper House.

Sacked mayor Darryn Lyons has lambasted “unrepresentative swill” for “trying to steal Geelong’s democracy”.

He blasted last week’s delegation to Spring Street for seeking to delay the return of local democracy in favour of a term extension for stateappointed administrators.

Mr Lyons accused delegation leader Committee for Geelong of “doing the lick-spittle dirty work of the Andrews government”.

“We saw this same self-interested conga line of s..ckholes’ behaviour with the bullying inquiry and the citizens’ jury,” he said.

“The Andrews Government is too gutless to do its own dirty work and sets up its gormless minions instead.”

Mr Lyons accused the government of attempting to steal democracy to “shore up its own political agenda”.

“It’s panic-stricken about losing its hold on the seats of Geelong, Bellarine and even Lara at the next election. Now it’s trying to weasel its way out of that with nonsense about needing these nonperforming Geelong commissioners.”

Mr Lyons lashed Geelong’s three council administrators, who the state government appointed to implement “cultural change” at City Hall.

“They’ve run away from hot issues like the libraries and they’re trying desperately to claim kudos for projects the council they sacked achieved.”

Committee chief Rebecca Casson defended the delegation, telling the Indy the administrators required “important time” to implement changes recommended in a Commission of Inquiry report on Geelong’s previous council.

SWOOPING SEASON NOTICE It’s that time of year that birds such as magpies and plovers start to swoop to protect their eggs and young. This is a normal behaviour for some birds during the breeding season.

Swooping behaviour continues throughout the breeding season which generally finishes in mid–November.

There are a number of simple measures which can be taken to minimise the risk of being swooped such as avoiding areas where birds are swooping, protecting your head and eyes and moving through the area quickly. Do not throw rocks or sticks, wave your arms around or make a lot of noise as aggressive behaviour can make things worse. Remember while it is not pleasant being swooped, native birds are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975 so don’t try to scare or attack the bird.

Further information is available at the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) website. To notify DELWP of a swooping bird, you can: •

Go online to www.delwp.vic.gov.au/swoop and enter details in the Victorian Magpie Map.

Falling plasterboard far from safe

By Luke Voogt Two sheets of plasterboard fell from the top levels of the future Geelong headquarters of Worksafe Wednesday morning, according to witness reports.

“If it had have hit someone it would have killed them,” one witness who wished to remain anonymous said.

“Wherever it landed, if someone was underneath it, they would have been in strife. It could have done some serious damage.”

The witness had just parked his car nearby, when he saw a strong gust blow the “2mx2m” and “1mx1m” sheets from near the top of the building about 11am.

The sheets flew at “right-angles” from the top “second or third storey” of the 14-storey building before falling to the ground, he said.

“I heard this almighty gust of wind. I looked up and there it was, two sheets coming down one big and one small one.

“It would have been massively unsafe - if that’s coming at you at from that height that could take your head off.

“The angle that it was going it would have gone to Brougham Street or Transit Place.”

A site worker redirected traffic on Corio Street as co-workers cleared the debris from the plasterboard sheets.

“Four or five minutes (after the incident) they were running around like headless chooks,” the witness said.

The debris struck cars parked in Corio Street and at least one motorist lodged a complaint with the site’s developer, Built, at the company’s nearby office.

“It copped a few bits of plaster on it,” the motorist said. “I haven’t looked into too deeply and I’m not sure if there’s been any extensive damage.”

When completed in 2018, the building will be home to 640 WorkSafe employees and up to 100 contractors.

“It’s a bit ironic isn’t it, eh?” the motorist said.

“It’s pretty ordinary that it can come out of the

DAMAGE CONTROL: A worker closes off Corio Street after two sheets of plasterboard fell from the top storeys of the future Worksafe headquarters in Geelong. 171837 (Luke Voogt) building like that. It’s lucky it didn’t hit someone.”

WorkSafe confirmed strong winds blew two plaster sheets from the site at 1 Malop Street.

“No injuries have been reported,” a spokesperson said.

“Inspectors are at the site making inquiries into the circumstances.

“Construction is a high-risk industry and weather conditions must always be taken into account to ensure on site activities do not compromise the safety of workers or the public.”

A Built spokesperson confirmed the plaster sheets caused minor damage to a car.

“Built takes our responsibility for safety very

seriously,” the spokesperson said. “The site is now being thoroughly checked and secured and workers on site debriefed.”

“We are working closely with WorkSafe and have a full investigation underway to determine how the incident happened to ensure all preventive measures are in place.”

RUNNING RECOVERY: Herne Hill’s Matty Groenewald will take on a 5km fun run just four months after surviving a stroke.

Matt takes each day in his stride

ZO720383

12360986-CB33-17

By Luke Voogt

12 GEELONG INDY Friday, 18 August, 2017

Herne Hill’s Matty Groenewald was a healthy 26-year-old who loved to surf and ran “five ks a day” when he suffered a stroke in April.

“I thought I was invincible,” the apprentice sprinkler fitter said as he prepared for a Carlton fun run on Sunday.

“People seem to think stroke is an older person’s injury or disease - it’s not - it can happen to anybody.”

Matty hoped to spread that message and give back “to the Stroke Foundation so they can continue their great work.”

He chose the fun run at the suggestion of a physio, after becoming frustrated at his recovery “plateauing”.

“The first three months of my recovery I improved so much,” he said. “They said this would happen, but I’m a pretty impatient person.”

Matty and girlfriend Erin McLaws had just bought land together at Armstrong Creek when the symptoms first appeared.

“I woke up Saturday morning, and I just felt off,” he said.

Matty spent the weekend feeling crook and “struggling to compute sentences”.

But when he woke up Monday morning (10 April), with intense pain in the right side of his head, he began to suspect the worst.

“It was a really distinct location where the headache was,” he said.

He stumbled into walls and fell when he tried to get out of the shower.

“I hit the deck and my girlfriend came running

in,” he said.

Matty called in sick, and Erin researched stroke online. But a lack of symptoms like speech impediment or sloped facial features convinced him to go back to bed.

“I was in denial - I didn’t want to seem like a hypochondriac,” he said.

But when Erin returned from work the left side of Matty’s body “wasn’t working” and he had pins and needles in his arm. She rushed him to hospital.

“She was bawling her eyes out,” he said.

“Thank God, she was there because who knows what would have happened if I had gone back to sleep.”

Matty “shut out” his friends and family as nurses took him to the toilet, showered him and cut up his food.

“I was so scared of people seeing me so vulnerable, not just physically, but mentally,” he said.

But that changed when his cousin visited him in hospital.

“The best thing for me was letting people back in and them feeding me their positive energy.”

He went from “not being able to sit up in a chair” to walking and attempting to run this weekend.

“I was seeing improvements every day, it was really cool,” he said.

Matty dedicated the run to stroke sufferers “less fortunate” than him, along with his family, friends and his girlfriend.

“They are the ones that got me back to my feet, and I owe them so much,” he said.

Help for those left all at sea after a return from life on the waves

By Luke Voogt A new $248,000 welfare facility will support seafarers at risk of depression and suicide, according to a local mission.

The Mission to Seafarers Geelong’s Reverend Noah Park celebrated the opening of the “muchneeded” extension at North Shore on Monday.

“Mental health is a big problem for seafarers,” he said.

“They spend a long time on board and they’re separated from their friends, family and community.”

Rev Park said the extension would help the mission accommodate growing numbers making the mission their “home away from home”.

More than 5200 seafarers have stayed at the mission so far this year.

Quick stopovers, high turnaround and a lack

of access to local currency and sim cards combined to isolate sailors, Rev Park said.

The new modern, light-filled extension would provide visiting seafarers with room for relaxation and privacy to contact their families after weeks at sea, he said.

Mission to Seafarers Geelong took three years to build the facility, with the help of a $124,000 contribution by the International Seafarers Trust Fund.

The mission matched the amount through donations from local supporters and churches, profits from its canteen and a transport contract with the Port of Geelong.

The Order of St John of Jerusalem, Victorian Regional Channels Authority, GeelongPort, Viva Energy Australia and GrainCorp donated money to furnish facility.

The mission has provided services for visit-

ing seafarers in Geelong’s port for more than 100 years.

“All seafarers, regardless of culture, race or religion, are welcome at our Geelong mission,” Rev Park said.

International Transport Workers Federation national co-ordinator Dean Summers officially opened the facility, which includes a phone, internet, library, canteen and pool table for visiting sailors.

Studies by organisations such as the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) Seafarers’ Trust have found high rates of depression and suicide amongst maritime workers.

‘Cruel city’ claims don’t add up by the statistics

By Luke Voogt An Indy investigation has found that Geelong ranks 28th per capita in Victoria for animal cruelty despite national reports this week naming the city Victoria's worst.

Numerous reports overlooked the per capita ranking after RSPCA Victoria released its most recent report into Victoria’s 79 local government areas.

Geelong recorded the highest number of number of cruelty reports, 584, or one per 400 residents, compared to the state average of one per 581.

But the municipality is the second-most populated in Victoria. Hepburn rated the worst by capita with one report per 183 residents.

RSPCA Victoria chief Liz Walker said understanding the rate of cruelty reporting was critical to directing education, advocacy and enforcement efforts.

“This year, RSPCA Victoria has started working more closely with local councils to understand local animal welfare issues,” she said.

In December 2016 RSPCA inspectors attended a Norlane property in response to a report about a dog with a severely infected wound (pictured).

They issued a notice to comply for veterinarian treatment, which the owner followed.

In May inspectors received a report that a dog in Lara was sheltering under old cars. The owner complied with orders to provide the dog access to a weatherproof kennel.

Of 584 reports received in greater Geelong 337 involved dogs and puppies, 98 involved cats and kittens and 86 involved horses.

In 2016/17, RSPCA Victoria Inspectors issued 388 notices to comply, 433 advisory letters and 34 warning letters.

Keep off tracks V/Line warned pedestrians and motorists against risking their lives on the rails, after 220 incidents involving trespassers on the Geelong-Warrnambool line in 12 months.

“This type of senseless and reckless behaviour is alarming,” V/Line chief James Pinder said.

“Trains can come from either direction at any time of day and night.”

The near misses on the Geelong-Warrnambool line counted for more than a quarter of the 900 reported trespasser incidents Victoria-wide in the past finnancial year.

The state total was down on the previous year, when there were 1115 reported cases.

“While it’s pleasing to see a reduction in the number of trespasser incidents compared with the previous year ... we are pleading with people to avoid taking risks," Mr Pinder said.

“The railway is not a playground and at level crossings, please obey the signs and be patient because it’s not worth risking your life."

Mr Pinder urged the public to be on the lookout for trespassers on or near railway lines, adding that these types of incidents also had a significant impact on train drivers.

“Anyone who witnesses this illegal behaviour around rail reserves should contact police,” he said.

“We need help from communities to be our eyes and ears so if you see something, please say something."

Rail Safety Week began Monday and runs until Sunday in Australia and New Zealand, to improve education and awareness around railway level crossing and track safety.

BARKING MAD: A Norlane dog with an infected wound.

They laid 383 charges against 90 people and finalised 90 prosecutions, with facts proven in 83 cases (92 per cent success rate).

At the end of the financial year, 56 cases were still before the courts.

There were 292 reports in great Geelong of insufficient food, water or shelter, 186 reports about hygiene and 152 reports of underweight animals.

The RSPCA recorded another 124 issues in-

volving sick or injured animals not receiving vet treatment, 69 concerns about animals being beaten or wounded and 65 abandoned animals.

“These kinds of problems are so preventable,” Dr Walker said.

Last year greater Geelong ranked second of 79 councils for animal cruelty reports and 40th on a per capita basis.

SENSELESS: V/Line has warned pedestrians and motorists not to dice with death.

Letters PM should ask millions on SSM I think the opposite Russell Greenwood (Letters, 11 August) on the Prime Minister’s attitude to same-sex marriage.

He is definitely not a wimp if he holds on to his own beliefs regarding the same.

I also doubt that the vast majority of Australians would want to legalise same-sex marriage.

Have all the millions in Australia been asked?

Bullying by labelling people a racist, homophobe, Islamophobe, xenophobe, denier or misogynist is the way the so-called progressive left prefers to pursue its agenda on such matters as refugees, Islam, global warming, LGBTQIA, indigenous affairs and women.

No debate or discussion is allowed and anyone daring to express a different opinion is accused of “hate speech”.

And so it is with same-sex marriage, with no discussion on the long-term effects on our society or the children of such unions allowed. Instead we have the media, entertainment industry and, increasingly, company CEOs all eager to show they are part of the progressive herd.

Our schoolchildren are increasingly subjected to propaganda such as the Safe Schools program, which teaches them to disregard traditional values and embrace all the society-destroying values of the left.

Socialists killing debate Does anyone realise how quickly socialism invaded Australia, with our loss of Christian values, freedom of speech and democracy?

Just one example is the gay marriage debate.

Few media outlets or politicians are in favour of a democratic vote by the people.

Dying for a new morality Should a terminally ill patient choose how he or she shall die?

Those who say no invariably argue in a certain way.

Ken Francis and Frank Lowry (Letters, 11 August) trotted out the sanctity of life myth. This is a good year to remember how the lives of Australians in World War I were sanctified.

In 1917, at the Battle of Passchendaele, 12,000 Aussies died. Add Passchendaele to all the other battles of the Great War and 60,000 perished.

So much for Mr Francis’s “laws, customs and practices that have supported the sanctity of human life", which doesn’t apply to sending our men to die abroad, as still happens.

Nor did it apply at home, where only 50 years have passed since Victoria’s last hanging.

Is public morality now improving some laws and practices?

The moral right of a patient to control his own dying is central to the issue but opponents ignore this. They reduce the patient to the helpless victim of what Mr Francis called “the predations of powerful forces", whatever they are.

Pastor Lowry called the voices for change “a vocal minority". If he’d been watching the statis-

The smell of the past In answer to Maree Gruszak-Smith (Letters, 11 August), creating a water feature in Johnstone Park is a case of deja vu because the site was originally a swampy gully.

Then in 1849 a water storage pool was dug, which became known as La Trobe’s Dam. Alas, by 1851 this pondage had become the scene of several accidental drownings of men and horses while accessing the liquid commodity.

It soon degenerated into a dumping ground for dead animals. By the 1860s its foul waters were reportedly emitting noxious effluvium into the air at Geelong’s gateway.

So in 1872 Johnstone Park arose from those

Email: editorial@geelongindependent.com.au 78 Moorabool St, Geelong, 3220 Fax: 5249 6799 offensive dregs and was deemed to create a more pleasant portal to the Pivot City.

It’s to be hoped that, with a cost of $1.85 million, this new project will ensure a heritage of sweeter water than was generated back in the good old days of yore.

Spine complete, stairs unfound The Indy’s 11 August Double Take suggested that consultation on central Geelong’s Green Spine was still to happen.

This was incorrect because the project is underway and focuses only on transforming Malop Street with a botanic walk, bike lanes and additional seating. The image referred to included concepts from the City in a Park plan and was purely conceptual, with no plans for changing Mercer and Gheringhap streets.

The 4 August Double Take asked why nothing had happened to find a Johnstone Park staircase since the initial search, suggesting the issue was a nearby gumtree that could die if the stairs were restored. This was not the case because the stairs have not been found.

The initial scope of the project was to restore the original bowl shape of the park, but this changed due to excavation costs and the community benefits of maintaining the existing flat surface near Gheringhap Street.

The rain garden location was shifted further into the park to allow for partial restoration of the original bowl form, therefore continuing to search for the stairs was unnecessary because this section would no longer form part of the construction.

The trees removed (Letters, 11 August) were not identified in Heritage Victoria or National Trust citations.

They were also not typical of plants favoured during the early 20th century and added little to the early character or identified heritage significance of the park.

Music lights fire

By Luke Voogt

Comedian George Kapiniaris is most famous for his television and on-stage work, but after 30 years of performing, music remains his true passion.

“Growing up my dream was to become a rock and roll star, not a comedian,” he said.

“Comedy is my reality, but my fantasy is rock and roll. I love playing guitar - it’s a fantasy come true.“ Kapiniaris will bring his cover band The Flares to Geelong Friday to perform The Songs of Countdown.

“It’s just a band I put together 30 years ago,” he said. “(The Countdown show is) a fun idea that we did over Christmas.”

The band has featured 75 musicians over the decades, from the Logie-winning Lisa McCune to members of prolific Aussie acts like Killing Heidi and Chocolate Starfish.

“It’s more like a club than an actual band,” he said.

The current line-up features former Countdown performers like Big Pig’s Tim Rosewall (keyboard), Pseudo Echo’s Darren Danielson (drums) and Tottie Goldsmith.

Kapiniaris told Geelong residents to “do you yourself a favour and get on down” to The Sphinx for the show tonight.

“It’s a lot of fun and the audience picks up on the people on stage having a blast,” he said.

Von Stache will bring a giant eyeball and their trademark on-stage rowdiness when they launch their latest “party punk” EP on Saturday night.

One half of the Geelong band, Sarah Armstrong, spoke to the Indy this week as she papermached a three-foot balloon for the gaudy prop.

“I’m just going to smash it anyway,” the guitarist and singer known as 'Saspot’ said. “I’ve got heaps decorations going on.

“I’m hoping to get some drinks specials too - our crowd are big drinkers so venues probably love us.”

After more than a decade performing, Armstrong still dreams of making it big in the industry.

But she works full-time in a call centre “because music don’t make you no money - it makes you poor”.

The long-time musician has released 30 original tracks since 2011 and has alternated between synth, acoustic and electric guitar gigs.

“I started playing guitar when I was 13,” the 29-year-old said. “Mum and Dad both loved music.

“I had other stuff when I was younger but I won’t count that - it was a bit embarrassing.”

The then-solo artist again reinvented herself in late 2015 when she joined forces with drummer Ryan ‘Slick’ Trickey .

“I was a bit of a loner,” she said. “He came to a gig and I was playing by myself and he said ’I really want to play drums for you’.”

The 26-year-old, who Armstrong knew from high school, quickly became the “brains” and sensible half of the group.

“He puts up with all of my onstage nonsense,” she said.

“He drives me and babysits me when I get too trashy at gigs. Sometimes after shows I’ve said to

Legendary Australian rockers Midnight Oil reignited the music scene in March, when they announced their reunion and first world tour in 20 years.

But with the original Oils yet to announce a Geelong show, Garry Hickman’s tribute act may be the next-best way for locals to enjoy the Power and the Passion.

The Frankston musician has spent more than a decade imitating the voice and eccentric dance moves of Midnight Oil front man Peter Garrett.

“I watched hours and hours of Midnight Oil film clips and live shows,” he said. “I think I’ve got the Garrett moves pretty down pat now.”

The 53-year-old started playing guitar when he was 12 and singing a few years later.

But when the original live music scene “dried up” in the late ’80s, the then 23-year-old began performing covers.

“I just loved playing music but a lot of live venues that had original bands closed their doors,“ he said.

“They had DJs and put in pokies and it really killed the live scene.”

Hickman began playing Peter Garrett in his first Oils tribute act “Head Injuries“ in the ’90s, filling in for the lead singer who was studying overseas.

“I just loved their music,” he said. “It’s intense, it’s got meaning and it’s good old rock and roll.”

Three years ago he began the Midnight Oil Tribute Show.

“The guys in the band are brilliant musos,” he said.

Hickman has sported a bald scone for 25 years, just like the Midnight Oil front man.

“It wasn’t just because of the Peter Garrett thing,” he said.

“I just grew sick of getting haircuts at the time.

NOT FORGOTTEN YEARS: Garry Hickman performs as Peter Garrett in his Midnight Oil tribute.

But it certainly helped me land the job in Head Injuries.”

The original Oils cut their teeth in the Geelong pub scene, among other cities, which Hickman said made local crowds “receptive”.

“We’re looking forward to entertaining them. We used to play at one the local pubs on Moorabool Street a few years ago.”

Hickman met with Midnight Oil drummer Rob Hirst, who he said was confused by cover bands, but didn’t have a “problem with them”.

But he said Peter Garrett once criticised cover bands on stage for “making money off their work” before playing Russell Morris’s The Real Thing.

A friend of Hickman’s saw Midnight Oil on their international reunion tour in Zurich last month.

“He said they were great,” he said.

So far the legendary band has announced three shows in Melbourne in November, but none in Geelong.

“I’d love to see them playing in Geelong or back home where we are down Frankston way,” Hickman said. “I reckon they’d go down well.”

The Midnight Oil Tribute Show plays at The Sphinx Saturday night.

HEARING AWARENESS

Hearing concerns BloomTM hearing specialists is a proud supporter of Hearing Awareness Week from 20 - 26 August and is looking to drive awareness and discussion around hearing education and treatment.

The company is launching a new visiting site in Ocean Grove, fortnightly from Tuesday 19 September at Bellarine Allied Health Group, corner of Guthridge Street and Wallington Road, Ocean Grove.

BloomTM hearing specialists are running a competition to win a $10,000 dream holiday.

Simply purchase any hearing aid during the month of August for the chance to win one of 13 prizes, including the holiday. Plus, those who bring their significant other along to the appointment will get a bonus entry into the draw.

Inquiries to the clinic or visit www.bloomhearing.com.au/dreamholiday for full terms and conditions.

You don’t need to suffer in silence Bellarine Hearing is supporting Hearing Awareness Week by offering free hearing screens until the end of August.

The week, which runs from 20-26 August, aims to raise community awareness of hearing impairment and improve the overall quality of life for people living with hearing loss.

Some of the early warning signs are being able to hear but not understand, finding it hard to follow conversations in crowded or noisy environments, needing to turn the TV or radio up, or not always being able to hear the doorbell or the phone.

“Improvements in technology have minimised the barriers to communication for people with a hearing loss,” Bellarine senior clinician Ben Featherston said.

“It’s reassuring to know that a properly fitted hearing instrument can improve communication

Audiologist Rod Glover with a patient. for at least 90 per cent of people with a hearing impairment.”

Bellarine Hearing is a locally-owned family business based in Geelong.

To book a free hearing screen in August, call Bellarine Hearing on 5229 6407.

That’s the bloom™ approach.

The team at German Automotive, Shane, Nick, Ben, Elly and Jesse.

Trusty experts in Geelong for servicing Euro vehicle brands Customers rely on the fine-tuned expertise of German Automotive to ensure they are prepared for any lengthy trip.

General manager Ben Buckle said German Automotive always tries to improve its service to customers.

The German Automotive team has the latest equipment and specialises in European brands, specifically Volkswagen, Mercedes Benz, Audi, Skoda and Porsche.

“We’re set up to dealer standard for these brands and take great pride in meeting the needs of our customers who have come to rely on us over the years,” Ben said.

“We’ve invested heavily in both training and state-of-the-art equipment and two of our staff recently returned from training overseas.

“This allows us to work on current models with no effect on manufacturer’s warranty at all.”

The team at German Automotive uses genuine parts sourced from European suppliers and seeks customer authorisation before proceeding with any major repairs.

Road worthy inspections are available and customers can benefit from the use of courtesy vehicles and a drop off/pick up service around Geelong.

The workshop is equipped with dealer-standard diagnostic equipment to quickly track down any vehicle problems.

German Automotive is at 8 Autumn Street, Geelong West.

ABOUT US

The team at Wayne’s Wheel Alignment and Service Centre are experts in suspension and wheel alignments.

Wayne’s Wheel Alignment (WWA) offers general servicing and repairs on cars as well as dirt and road motorbikes, and suspension repairs.

They also offer set-ups for race cars.

Owner Rob White grew up around trucks, cars and motorbikes, and has always had an interest in classic cars.

“We often have people coming in just to admire some of the old classics that our team work on,“ he said.

“We’ve had Mustangs, early Holdens and Fords, Dodge Phoenixes and early Chevrolets.

We’ve even had a 1937 Packard, to name a few.

“The time and effort people put into restoring some of these old cars is phenomenal. It’s great to see these cars still on the road.“ Mr White said they had many loyal customers who had been coming in for the 30 odd years WWA had been in operation since ’91.

“We now even have our older clients’ children and grandchildren coming in,“ he said.

“We always have one-on-one time with our customers and have a bit of a friendly joke around together.

“We take enormous pride in our work. We provide tips to customers so they can learn how to do things like checking their oil and tyre pressures.

“We recommend drivers to get their cars serviced every six months or after each 10,000 kilometres.“ WWA is offering a free rotation and wheel balancing with every service until the end of February if you mention reading about the deal in the Geelong Indy.

Wayne’s Wheel Alignment is at 25 Crows Road, Belmont. For more information, phone 5244 3742 or visit facebook.com/wayneswheelalign.

SPORT Cats eyes on second spot

By Justin Flynn The equation is simple for Geelong - win the last two games and earn second spot on the ladder and a home final.

The Cats face 13th-placed Collingwood tomorrow afternoon at the MCG and while the Pies have presented their challenges recently, it is a game Geelong should win.

That sets up an epic final-round showdown with Greater Western Sydney at Simonds Stadium, with the winner to grab second spot on the ladder and a home qualifying final.

But, first things first.

Collingwood has won its past three encounters against Geelong and six of the past eight.

The Pies are somewhat of a mini-bogey side for the Cats.

Geelong will welcome back midfielder Mitch Duncan from a one-game suspension. Duncan missed Geelong’s stirring win against Richmond, and will offer much-needed engine room support to Patrick Dangerfield, who was superb again last weekend.

INS AND OUTS: Mitch Duncan and Joel Selwood.

Geelong is the best tackling team in the competition. It averages 74.6 tackles per game to Collingwood’s 67.8.

Harry Taylor was best afield up forward last week with four goals and with Tom Hawkins absent for another week he will probably play the same role against the Pies.

Ben Reid kicked four goals for the Woods last

week, and could cause some headaches in Geelong’s defence if Taylor plays forward as expected.

Collingwood will be without Brodie Grundy for another week due to suspension, leaving Mason Cox to shoulder the ruck responsibilities.

The Pies certainly haven’t put the cue in the rack and are not playing for a better draft position. Coach Nathan Buckley is still not guaranteed another contract and is trying to win as many games as possible.

The Pies were decent against Port Adelaide last week, but not quite good enough. It has been the story of their season.

In the absence of a host of stars last week, Geelong ‘second tier’ players stood up to drag the side over the line.

Christ Scott was also shrewd in the coaches box, masterminding a plot to negate the powers of All Australian defender Alex Rance.

With Duncan back into the midfield and Steven Motlop displaying seriously good form against Tigers, the Cats have too much to play for to let this slip.

Geelong by 19 points.

Good results in both forms ON THE BITE Chris Pitman Corio Bay’s inner-harbour produced pinkie snapper to an impressive 45cm on soft plastics over the past week.

Anglers fishing land or boat-based reported excellent results, with the odd large school of Australian salmon appearing to take the same plastics presented for the pinkies.

Daniel Sparks was after something a little larger when he put in a few hours fishing around the bay. He was successful, too, boating a 7.35kg snapper after an extended fight on 1kg line.

Clifton Springs presented anglers with chances to fish for squid during breaks in the weather. Size 3 jigs worked slowly over the weed beds returned the best results.

Queenscliff was the destination of choice for anglers seeking big-season squid. Trelly’s Kevin Hunter boated several on baited jigs in the bight, noting that the squid were more interested in baits than artificials.

Nearby, whiting were a little hit and miss, but the grass beds produced a few fish to 45cm.

Stephen Goodall took the trip down to Bancoora where he beached numerous salmon over 40cm on bait and lure. Sea Iron Pelacus lures worked well and allowed for long casts.

Anglers fishing offshore from Ocean Grove and right along the western coast had little trouble boating impressive gummy shark to over 20kg.

Freshwater fishos found the going still good.

Michael Evans had great results casting Fish Arrow Three Shot Minnows at Wurdee Boluc Reservoir, banking a brown trout of 61cm and 3kg. He also went on to land a few redfin to 40cm.

Lake Purrumbete produced mixed bags of brown, brook and rainbow trout along with redfin. By far the most successful tactic was casting hard-body lures around the weed bank edges at first or last light.

Lake Bullen Merri’s Chinook salmon continued having a crack at hard-body lures trolled around Potter’s Point.

Warriors fail to deliver right gear in last home match

By Josip Zilic In their last home match of the NPL season, the North Geelong Warriors were unable to find a cog in their gears to get them to turn the match into a contest and were made to pay with three firsthalf goals.

It’s been a long and arduous season for the Warriors where the gap between the haves and have nots is getting further apart.

Despite some early season hope, the results never came and in this league you are made to pay dearly for not being able to take your opportunities as they present themselves.

That was made clear in the first half last week, when on five minutes Elvis Kamsoba received a long clearing ball after a North Geelong attack where he was too nifty for Ivan Grgic and dispatched the ball with ease past the oncoming Daniel Zilic.

The heads dropped, and on 24 minutes Kym Harris was on hand to finish an unchallenged ball in the box to set an early buffer.

The Knights who need to lift their own performances ahead of a relegation playoff with the successful NPL2 side continued to build the margin when Kym Harris converted a penalty from a handball just before half time.

To the Warriors credit, they lifted in the sec-

ond half with the introduction of Nathan Long freeing up Michael Anderson to run at defenders.

Midway through the second half, the Warriors were paid a penalty for a foul on Damian Falla where Andrew Doig’s attempt was saved. Soon after though, an ensuing cross into the box was scrambled upon, and Michael Anderson was on hand to stab it into the back of the net.

However, the resurgence ended there, and to add to the Warriors woes Marijan Cvitkovic was able to restore the three-goal buffer on 90 minutes for the 4-1 end result.

Next week in their final match of 2017, the Warriors are away to Hume City on Sunday 3pm.

Veteran cricket competition to keep the over-50s fit

By Luke Voogt

CRACKING SHOT: Geelong over-60s players such as Chris Carr are getting behind the plan.

32 GEELONG INDY Friday, 18 August, 2017

A 70-year-old cricket veteran is leading efforts to start a 50-plus competition in Geelong to encourage locals to keep fit.

John Williams, who plays in an over-60s league, planned to set up a Geelong over-50 cricket club, and four local teams on behalf of Veterans Cricket Victoria.

“It’s been going in the other side of Melbourne for quite some time,” he said. “At our level, it’s like a men’s shed.”

Veterans cricket was a great way to stay socially connected and stay active, Williams said

“I’m still pretty fit,” he said. “We quite often get grants from the government for veterans to keep us going - the oldies grant,” “You get us oldies playing cricket, and we might volunteer for coaching or positions on committees. From past experience ... several clubs benefit from the veterans concept.”

Williams proposed the four clubs face off one Sunday a month to avoid interfering with club cricket.

“It is very important that players are not taken away from their club teams on Saturdays,” he said.

Williams will hold a meeting about the proposed competition at Bruce Moore Room, Gee-

long Cricet Club, on 29 August. He was happy to expand the competition based on interest.

“The four teams is only a proposal. If we get 100 people to the meeting, we’re going to need six teams.”

He hoped Geelong could field players for the Australian over-50 team, which tours England in 2018.

Several Geelong over-60s players and Geelong Cricket Club had got behind the concept, he said.

The competition would feature rules to increase participation, like a maximum seven overs per bowler and batsman retiring at 35, he added.
