Roderick team in hall of fame

Adroit reigning supreme Adroit Insurance Group is the reigning premiers of Geelong business thanks to its client-driven focus and community commitment.

Managing director Andrew Locke hasn’t looked back after moving to Torquay so he could join the company in 1999.

“I love the lifestyle - it’s a fantastic place to bring up kids,” he says.

After 17 years in the industry he was thrilled for his employees when they snared Geelong’s coveted Business of the Year award in 2016.

“It was really nice for the business and our Geelong team to receive some recognition for

what they do,” he says.

Andrew says providing quality insurance brokerage is about being there for clients.

“We act as client advocate, so not only will we seek the best insurance solution, we represent our clients when something goes wrong,” he explains.

“We’re here to take the stress out of a stressful situation and get them back into the position they were in before the loss occurred.”

Specialising in commercial insurance, the company has won Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance Medium Broking Company of the Year.

Adroit also supports organisations like Give Where You Live, Karingal and Geelong Community Foundation.

Each year in November it runs a golf event that raised $100,000 in 2016.

“It’s raised nearly $1 million for the Geelong community for 15 years,” Andrew says.

But for the 46-year-old father of three, that’s just a part of doing business in Geelong.

“I think the business community of Geelong is very community-minded,” he says.

“It’s certainly well led and I think the future is really bright.”

Award-winning Jayco caravans keep moving forward

Tony and Debbie Spence at the Geelong Business Excellence Awards.

Jayco Prestige general manager Tony Spence says nobody could ever run out of holiday destinations with a caravan.

“There are so many good places in Australia, if you get a caravan you can go somewhere different every time,” he explains.

Tony and his team took home Geelong Business Excellence Awards’ family business trophy in 2016.

“We’re very proud of our team,” he says.

Tony, who has worked at the dealership for five years, says his customers make it a great place to work.

“When people come here, they’re excited because they’re usually planning a holiday. They’ve worked hard and they want to go see Australia.”

The 53-year-old has explored the country via caravan with wife Debbie and three children.

“We’ve had some great holidays over the years,” he says.

Tony’s parents, who own the Newcomb deal-

ership, are still finding new places to go after 30 years of camping.

“They just completed an eight-week trip to Broome,” Tony says.

“That was the first time they’d been up that way.”

The dealership has “grey nomads” covered with luxury caravans, which include air-conditioning and wide-screen TVs. “All the modern amenities of a house, we’ve put them inside a caravan,” Tony says.

And with 100 models, Jayco Prestige has something for everyone.

“We’re getting a lot of younger families,” Tony says.

“You can sleep eight people in some of the caravans we’ve got.

“We’re also the only Jayco dealership that manufactures their canvas products, making annexes and the awnings to fit.”

Businesses in the Geelong region now have more opportunities than ever to be recognised in the Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards.

The awards, an initiative of Geelong Chamber of Commerce, were officially launched last night at Karingal’s Eastern Hub with a VIP event for past winners, judges, award sponsors and key dignitaries.

The chamber introduced two new categories to this year’s awards for a total of 21, including the coveted Business of the Year.

The new additions are Business Leader of the Year, sponsored by 2016 Business of the Year winner Adroit Insurance Group, and Young Entrepreneur of the Year, sponsored by Deakin Business School.

Chamber chief executive Bernadette Uzelac was also delighted to announce the reintroduction of a Customer Service Award, sponsored by Snap Geelong.

Categories

I am delighted to support the launch of this year’s Geelong Business Excellence Awards.

This is a time of great excitement and opportunity for the region.

The local economy is expanding, infrastructure projects continue apace and advanced manufacturing is taking off in a big way.

These are all signs of momentum in the local economy and of a community that’s taking advantage of growing opportunities.

My government has a clear economic plan for the region.

Through measures like our Growth Fund and $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 Geelong region, and every single element of our plan is focused on achieving this.

We know that many Australians, especially in regional areas, have been doing it tough.

Right around Australia, the adjustment from the mining construction boom alone caused a lot of hardship in the regions.

Yet we are here, creating the export opportunities, building the infrastructure, providing the investment, and creating the jobs that will enable all Australians to share in the great years ahead.

I thank the Geelong Chamber of Commerce for its commitment to this wonderful region and its future prosperity.

The Geelong Business Excellence Awards are not only a celebration of the remarkable achievements of local businesses, but an opportunity to convey our admiration and thanks for their contributions to our society and economy.

This is an important new era for Geelong and I am confident that with the support of my Government the people of this region can look forward to an exciting and prosperous future.

Hands-on head start to careers

By Lisa Line, The Gordon chief executive officer

Unique Laser owner Sarah Oram with her 2016 business award and Geelong clinic staff Tania Young, Patricia Riccardi, Natalie Todorovsky, Hannah Hegedus, Melanie Beesley and Amelia MacRae.

A laser focus on service Unique Laser believes that its “customer focus” impressed judges enough to win the Emerging Business category at last year’s Geelong Business Excellence Awards.

“We’re extremely happy winning the award and our clients have really supported us,” says owner Sarah Oram.

The awards process was also a learning experience, showing Unique Laser it must always “keep improving”, she says.

The team at Unique Laser Hair Removal and Skin Clinic focuses its attention on clients, knowing that their “word of mouth is important”.

Sarah left her previous corporate career to open the business after noting a “clear need in Geelong” for “high quality” laser skin treatments.

She launched the clinic in Westfield Geelong in May 2014 to specialise in laser hair removal and medical skin treatments.

Due to its success, she opened another branch of Unique Laser in Melbourne’s Doncaster.

“We provide the highest quality laser and skin services at an affordable price and Geelong has really embraced what we do,” Sarah says.

The clinic’s team of medical and aesthetic professionals offers treatments including diode laser

hair removal, fat-loss cavitation, dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections, and other rejuvenation treatments.

Free initial consultations are available.

“We also focus a lot on our training, research and development and differentiating between fads and what really works, ensuring clients see visible results,” Sarah explains.

Unique Laser Geelong plans to expand its treatment range in the future, she says.

Unique Laser is on the ground floor at Westfield Geelong, phone 5222 1995 or visit uniquelaser.com.au.

Learning from industry experts in a handson environment leads to students from The Gordon being job-ready, as well as award winners in their chosen field of study.

We take pride in our various forms of delivery; if you prefer learning by doing, enjoy completing projects based on real work scenarios, and find study support helpful to stay on track, TAFE might be best for you.

Hands-on learning is what The Gordon is renowned for.

We are the market leader for trade training in our region.

Lisa Line Teachers are all experienced in industry and have strong links to local business, while facilities replicate the workplace with many areas boasting world-class training equipment.

Another real benefit with studying at The Gordon is that we offer several guaranteed pathways into university.

We are so proud of our students, especially those who go above and beyond to compete in competitions outside of their studies. Congratulations to all of the award winners in 2016, you have made all of us so proud of you and your teachers.

The Gordon’s focus is on real skills and experience that deliver real outcomes.

If you’re keen on leaning by doing, then The Gordon is the place for you.

Two of the region’s leading media organisations have joined forces to promote this year’s Geelong Business Excellence Awards.

The Geelong Indy and Bay 93.9 are sponsoring the awards with a complete package of print, digital and radio promotion.

The Indy is backing the awards with the power of the region’s highest-circulating local newspaper along with its popular website, geelongindy.com. au, and social media accounts.

Geelong Broadcasters’ Bay 93.9 is broadcasting regular promotions, ensuring local radio-listeners also hear the message about the region’s premier business awards.

The combined reach of the Indy and Bay 93.9 gives the awards saturation coverage across their target area of Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast.

The Indy was looking forward to a successful 2017 awards, said managing editor Tony Galpin.

“The awards have become an institution as the highlight of the local business calendar,” he said.

“I urge local shoppers, suppliers and anyone interested in promoting local business to lodge nominations now at gbea.com.au.

“Local business owners and managers should also consider entering the awards, which offer many benefits on top of any category wins.”

Bay 93.9 general manager Andy Mathers praised the awards for providing welcome recognition of local business achievements.

“Local business is the heartbeat of our region.

Geelong Broadcasters is proud to partner with the Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards in recognising their significant achievements" “I tip my hat to anyone that has backed themselves and started their own business. The courage, passion, belief and dedication it takes is inspiring"

Chris said sustainability needs to strike a balance between environmental, human, and financial considerations.

“It’s about developing the people within the business in order to grow and for the business to still be around in the next 10 years,” he said.

Sage opened a farm stay in separate housing on the property late last year as part of its expansion into tourism.

Sage farm is at 2430 Midland Highway, Bannockburn. Phone 0428 795 663.

‘Crazy demand’ for clothing store Retail star Miyo Fallshaw said her kids clothing business Oishi-m is promoting Geelong to the world.

“We’re actually bringing a lot of customers to Geelong and the Surf Coast,” the Bell Brae trader said. “We’ve got quite a nationwide presence.”

Last year the business won the Geelong Business Excellence Award’s retail category.

“It’s such an honour to be selected when you think of all the amazing retailers in Geelong and the region,” Miyo said.

The store gets inter-state and international customers who are keen to buy its limited-edition clothing or “killer footwear” at its yearly sale.

“Last year, we had customers from Tassie, Perth, Sydney, New Zealand and others who drove the night to be there,” Miyo says.

“There’s just a crazy demand for it. Once it’s gone it’s gone.”

Miyo joined the business eight years ago and has been the sole owner for just over a year.

“I came on board to commercialise the business,” she says.

“As part of that we opened up that store in Torquay.”

Established in 2006, Oishi-m was selling at 100 stores and business was hectic.

“It got to the point one Christmas Day where

Sage farm owner Chris Balazs was “absolutely gobsmacked” to win the sustainability category of the 2016 Geelong Business Excellence Awards.

“I took the whole team along to the awards dinner and it was really good to be a part of the awards,” Chris said.

“It was our first time, we were the first ones nominated for sustainability and I was lost for words when we won.”

Chris encourages other small businesses to enter the “encouraging” and “very exciting” award.

He describes the process as “therapeutic, whether you win or not”.

“Winning the award has opened doors for us to some of the top restaurants wanting to source sustainable meat for their customers.

“I’m trying to change the food system for the better, to ethically-produced food.”

With a corporate background in pharmaceuticals for 20 years, Chris opened Sage farm as a career change 15 years ago.

The farm, also home to his family, overlooks the Moorabool Valley at Bannockburn.

Sage, which Chris explains is an acronym for sustainable, agricultural, grass-fed enterprise, produces beef and lamb from its on-site butchery.

Sustainability practices on the farm include crop, paddock, and land and soil management, recycling and the use of compost.

The decision paid dividends, with the Oishi-m making Inside Small Business’s Top 50.

Rehab fight at council Residents petition ‘vital treatment facility’

By Luke Voogt Residents are petitioning City Hall against a proposed drug rehabilitation project sited 12 metres from a Highton bottleshop.

But the proponents say the clinic’s vital service would help alleviate a shortage of rehabilitation opportunities across the region.

City Hall’s online planning page had received 82 objections to the proposal for 4 North Valley Road before the deadline for public comment on Thursday.

Former Geelong councillor Ron Nelson said he had collected a further 240 signatures against

The 70-year-old retired lawyer described the proposal as “totally inappropriate” for the area.

“Quite frankly, I don’t think they’ve thought it through,” he said.

Mr Hobbs said the facility should be sited in a semi-rural area instead.

But Habitat Therapeutics director David Forbes said the vast majority of Highton and Geelong residents would understand the need for the rehabilitation facility.

Mr Forbes said he was determined to help others on the same path that led him to alcoholism, from which he had recovered.

“We understand the need for these facilities but it’s the location,” Mr Nelson told the Indy.

“For goodness sake, don’t put them opposite to a bottleshop - the temptation’s just too great.

“Concerned residents are calling me to find out what’s going on. I’ve even had paramedics sign the petition to say how ridiculous the location is.”

Objector Graham Hobbs held a meeting with about 60 residents and representatives of Habitat Therapeutics on Monday.

“Highton residents are extremely concerned,” Mr Hobbs said.

Local fears, cheers greet FWC cut to penalty rates

By Luke Voogt Local workers who are least able to afford pay cuts will suffer most from a national decision to reduce penalty rates, Geelong Trades Hall has warned.

But Geelong business leaders hailed the “landmark decision“ as a boon to local employment.

The Fair Work Commission’s ruling on Sunday and public holiday rates will affect at least 17,775 workers in Geelong, about 22 per cent of the city’s workforce.

Retail and hospitality are the second and fifth largest local industries, according to latest Enterprise Geelong statistics.

Trades Hall secretary Colin Vernon slammed the commission’s decision as unfair.

“No worker will be better off as a result of this decision,” he said.

“Cuts ... for working Sundays and public holidays will negatively impact on workers’ takehome pay.”

Mr Vernon said Trades Hall would not accept the ruling and called on the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to protect rates.

He added that with wage growth being at a “historical low” in the last two quarters it would put even more pressure on local workers.

“What it will do is put more profits into corporations and shareholders and out of the pockets of workers,” he said.

But Geelong Chamber of Commerce welcomed the “landmark decision”.

The chamber’s Bernadette Uzelac said local small businesses, comprising 97 per cent of chamber memberships, would be better off under the cuts.

Penalty rates adversely affected many of her

members’ ability to employ staff and operate on Sundays without financial losses, she said.

“This decision will give business owners greater certainty towards future planning for their businesses, especially in the areas around hiring of staff and operations.”

Ms Uzelac said the changes would allow employers to hire more staff and combat the city’s youth employment - one of the highest in Australia.

“We all want to see young people getting a start in the workforce and being rewarded for their efforts in creating a thriving and healthy business community.”

Under the ruling, Sunday and holiday penalty rates will drop up to a quarter for full, part-time and casual workers in retail, hospitality, pharmacy and fast food.

In Brief Murder verdict A Lovely Banks man faces life in prison over the shotgun murder of a 36-year-old father at Bell Post Hill a year ago.

Dylan Barker, 22, will reappear for sentencing next month after a Supreme Court jury found him guilty of murdering Paul Cochrane with a single shot to the abdomen from a car window.

Great priorities Better education of international drives and a “dire need” for toilets have emerged as priorities for the Great Ocean Road, according to Corangamite MP Sarah Henderson.

Locals also called for numerous infrastructure upgrades including a “proper” Anglesea bypass at this week’s Great Ocean Road Summit in Lorne, she said.

Festival hope Geelong could host a new “laneway festival” amid talks on improving the central city area’s live music scene, a local promoter has revealed.

Bay City Events said proprietor Hugo T Armstrong expected the city would host the festival “in the near future” as stakeholders continued work on a live music strategy for central Geelong.

Credit used Police are hunting for two people who allegedly spent $1500 with a credit card from a wallet lost in a Geelong bottleshop.

Police yesterday released images of a man and a woman (pictured) they wanted to question over the purchases at shops in Belmont, Highton and South Geelong.

Transport meeting Public transport shortages on the northern Bellarine Peninsula will be highlighted at a public meeting next month, organisers have announced.

Three community organisations would host the 10 Mach meeting at Portarlington’s Parks hall to address issues including long waits for buses and timetable restrictions, organisers said.

EXCELLENCE: Gordon TAFE's Vocational Student of the Year Louise Nicholas and Apprentice of the Year Kate Elstone.

These two high flyers have got their careers nailed

By Luke Voogt Leopold cabinet maker Kate Elstone and Sunshine “bird nerd” Louise Nicholas took the top honours at Gordon TAFE’s annual awards Wednesday night.

Kate, 22, was excited but “little bit overwhelmed” to win Apprentice of the Year.

“I’m just proud of what I’m capable of achieving,” she said.

Being a woman in a male-dominated industry never phased Kate and she said her workmates had welcomed her from the start.

“They like to tease a bit but I give it back just as much.”

Kate recently finished her apprenticeship and bought a house in Leopold, moving from her parents’ home in Drysdale.

“It’s amazing to be qualified,” she said.

“It makes all the work that I did over the past five years worth it.”

Kate loved the challenge seeing something on paper and building it from scratch.

“You’re proud to see something you’ve created for someone to use,” she said.

She dreams of one day being her own boss in a fine furniture business.

“My parents both have their own businesses.

It’s hard but you get to make the calls and see it grow.”

Kate thanked her boss Clint Bosworth for giving her the chance to attend events like World Wood Day in Nepal.

“If I didn’t get those opportunities I probably wouldn’t be where I am now.”

Sunshine birdwatcher Louise Nicholas turned her hobby into a dream job with a Melbourne Wa-

ter “bush crew”.

Louise joined the Gordon when she lost her job in 2014 after 13 years working in an office.

The Vocational Student of the Year used her redundancy payment to study while putting her mortgage on interest only.

“It took me a while to realise I could study what I did as a hobby - without going to university.”

For years Louise had watched birds at Werribee’s sewerage treatment plant - now it’s part of her job.

“I’m actually at the poo farm today,” she said.

“People would think it’s quite a stinky place to work but it’s actually very beautiful. There are lots of ponds and international migratory birds.”

Forty-seven nominees vied for 21 awards totalling $13,500 in prize money at the awards ceremony on Wednesday night.

Boat stolen Thieves have stolen a fishing boat worth about $60,000 from a house at Portarlington, according to a police post on social media.

Police posted an image of the missing 2005 Whittley Sea Legend, which disappeared from the Harding Street property overnight on 30 January.

Young murals City Hall has “installed” 13 murals of young people on public facilities around Geelong to celebrate National Youth Week, beginning at the end of March.

The six-week project, Streetface, featured individuals “working passionately for the environment”, City Hall said.

Ben’s 15 minutes of fame

Our first big test

By Luke Voogt

Geelong has passed its first big test for international cricket, despite unusually chilly and rainy weather keeping thousands at home.

Cricket Australia boss James Sutherland said he was impressed by Geelong’s support for the Australia versus Sri Lanka game, a thriller in which Sri Lanka pulled off a come-from-behind win.

“Certainly the atmosphere was amazing. It has again demonstrated to us that regional centres can and should be putting their hand up to host elite cricket.”

Mr Sutherland said about 16,000 people prebought tickets. Rain throughout the afternoon disrupted the women’s T20 game, with the temperatures plummeting below average.

“In the end we were really pleased with the crowd in Geelong. To get more than 13,500 in those conditions and on a Sunday night was actually a very good result.”

South Geelong’s Ben Kenworthy has scored his national TV debut in an ABC series recording lives of Year 12 students.

Ben was one of 14 students from across Australia featuring in My Year 12 Life, which airs on ABC ME this week.

“It’s been everyone’s dream as a child to be on television when you’re older and have your 15 minutes of fame,” the former St Joseph’s student said.

Ben said with all the media coverage of VCE each year it was good to see it from a student’s perspective.

“There’s a lot more than just your ATAR that goes on throughout the year - it’s what you make of it.”

He and his family filmed “99 per cent” of his segments, as he attempted to balance studies with footy, cricket, and deputy school captain duties.

The show’s website describes Ben as a “prankster”. “But can you be the class clown and the class genius?” it asks.

“I like to have a bit of fun, but I still knuckled down and gave it a go,” he said.

“I’m sort of a bit more laid back than other students. You don’t have to be so worked up about everything.”

But some of the show’s other students feel family and personal expectations more keenly, Ben said.

“Some students get pretty emotional and intense, so it’s good for them to know they’re not alone.”

Ben graduated St Joseph’s in 2016 and has been working toward a career in business. But he remained quiet about his plans for this year.

“That would kind of be a spoiler for the show,” he said.

“Let’s just say I’m happy with what I’m doing this year.”

The show airs on ABC at 7.30pm, 20 February and will continue Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights for several weeks.

STRESS LESS: South Geelong’s Ben Kenworthy will share his VCE story in an ABC series airing this week.

Reflexology is an excellent aid for digestion, sleep difficulties, anxiety, asthma, headaches, and numerous other ailments.

Police arrested seven children and one adult when they attempted to flee from a stolen car after spotting a booze bus Sunday night.

Geelong Senior Sergeant Nick Uebegang said the driver of Mitsubishi sedan pulled over, about 6.40pm, and eight occupants fled on foot.

“They saw the booze bus in the distance which caused them to pull over and run from the vehicle.”

Police apprehended seven of the teenagers a short distance away.

Two, aged 16 and 13, were remanded in custody to appear in Childrens Court, while five were bailed, Sen Sgt Uebergang said.

Police later arrested a 19-year-old man in relation to the offence a short time later, he said.

One of the teenagers faced court yesterday charged with offences including the theft of the car from a Corio home, about 4am on Sunday.

Residents oppose 'vital' rehab clinic From page 1 “I’ve invested my life in this thing,” he told the Indy.

“We have empathy for the residents who have concerns but our process is open and transparent.”

Mr Forbes said the private facility would fill a vital need to treat drug and alcohol abuse in Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula.

The bottleshop’s proximity would not be detrimental to patients’ treatment, which included

Double Take Coffs Harbour has The Big Banana, Ballina’s home to The Big Prawn and Goulburn’s infamous for The Big Merino.

But could Geelong soon boast - wait for it The Big Battery?

According to State Government, it’s a possibility.

The Government has called for expressions of interest in building “Australia’s largest battery”.

Rather than powering Australia’s largest flashlight, the battery will actually provide storage for renewable energy from the state’s expanding fleet of wind turbines and solar panels.

Consumers might assume the idea’s possibly cheaper and more politically expedient than saving the Hazelwood power station. Or maybe not Whatever, southwest Victoria, which includes Geelong, is earmarked as one of two regions to host the gazillion-Z-size battery.

Local lobbyists, start your electric engines!

And while you’re charged up, enquire about the possibility of The Big Recharger in Colac.

learning to deal with exposure to alcohol, he said.

“Imagine we were to teach an alcoholic to completely avoid all contact with anything related to alcohol - it would be virtually impossible, save for a life off the grid.

“Most facilities of our type have licensed venues, bottleshops, BYO restaurants ... within proximity.”

The number of objections means City Hall is likely to refer the proposal to a development hearings panel.

Coincidentally, a delegation of South Australian “government executives” visited Geelong this week to find out what makes the region tick.

Given SA’s problems with reliable electricity supplies, maybe the delegation should have waited until Geelong had secured The Big Battery.

Then they could have arrived with The Long Extension Cord and problem solved!

In discussions of a very different kind, two unsolved World War II murders linked to Fort Queenscliff will return to the spotlight in Geelong on Sunday.

Military historian and former detective Bob Marmion, the author of written a book on the incidents, plans to discuss all sorts of clues and angles, including alleged links to the Prime Minister’s office.

Intriguingly, both victims - Roy Willis and John Huston - were shot in the chest with a military revolver three months apart in circumstances that stumped the local constabulary.

Both were also servicemen posted to the fort.

The story has “more twists and turns than the Great Ocean Road”, according to Bob. Amateur sleuths keen on solving the mystery can hear Bob’s talk at North Geelong’s Osborne House from 2pm Sunday.

Service never forgotten

By Luke Voogt Helen Casey’s grandmother Ethel never forgot her service, even as she grew blind and deaf towards the end of her life.

“She always knew when it was Anzac Day,” the Ocean Grove local said.

“She would always say to mum ‘is my uniform ready?’

“She was very proud of what she did.”

Ethel’s medals and memoirs feature in the Spirit of Anzac Centenary Experience, the largest travelling exhibition in Australia in decades.

“I’m very, very proud,” Helen said. “We used to love looking at them when we were children.”

While Ethel didn’t “really talk much about the war when we were children,” Helen said, her story came to life through her memoirs.

Ethel Biggs was born at St Kilda in 1891 and relocated with her family to Portarlington, where her father worked as a bootmaker.

She began her nursing career after she completed her training at the Geelong Infirmary and Benevolent Asylum.

Ethel was a hero before she joined the war effort.

In March 1916 the papers reported her rescuing and reviving a boy who fell face down in water near Portarlington Pier.

In May 1917, aged 26, Ethel enlisted as a Staff Nurse in the Australian Army Nursing Service, embarking for Cairo on 12 June.

She served five years in Greece and England, nursing British soldiers or “Tommies” back to health and earning the British War and Victory medals.

In her diaries Ethel wrote of the tragedy of watching young men die.

“We saw some very pathetic deaths,” it reads.

“Some of the boys were conscious up to the last and tried so hard to get better.”

On 7 April, 1920, Ethel married Captain Henry Elvins, a WWI medical officer from Geelong, and gave up her nursing job.

Pollies at war on commuters 'link'

By Luke Voogt

REMEMBERED: Ocean Grove's Helen Casey with a display dedicated to her grandmother Ethel Biggs at the Spirit of Anzac Centenary Experience. 165183 (Luke Voogt) “They actually had a romance before she went away,” Helen said.

“Back in that day once they were married they had to give up nursing.”

Instead Ethel worked with her husband and together they ran a surgery from their La Trobe Terrace home, now heritage-listed, for decades.

Ethel died on 3 December, 1988, in Geelong at the age of 97.

Helen remembers her as determined, strong and proper.

“You didn’t misbehave with grandma but she was also very warm and loving.”

She is named on the Peace Memorial Foyer War Service Honour and the Geelong Hospital Doctors and Nurses Honour rolls.

Ethel’s story one is of several Geelong stories featuring in the exhibition, which runs at the Geelong Arena from this week to 27 February.

Department of Veterans Affairs’ Mike Wightman many Geelong archives and individuals had donated items.

“There was not a single town anywhere in Australia that was untouched by World War I and Geelong has a rich association with it.”

Organisers have confirmed 13,000 tickets to the Spirit of Anzac Centenary Experience in Geelong to date, with the capacity for thousands more to attend the free event.

“We hope Geelong breaks the record for the exhibition,” Mike said.

Victorian Liberals are “shamelessly” hindering a “desperately-needed” project for Geelong commuters, according to local state MPs. Bellarine MP Lisa Neville this week said the planned Western Distributor would end commuters’ reliance on the West Gate Bridge.

The second river crossing would slash congestion, create 5600 jobs and cut 20 minutes off the trip from Geelong to the Melbourne CBD, Ms Neville said.

“While the Liberals failed to even begin one single major road project, we are getting on with building the Western Distributor.”

But state opposition leader Matthew Guy has indicated the Coalition will move to block the project in parliament.

Transurban’s bid for the distributor includes a condition that the state extends the company’s ability to collect tolls on CityLink for 12 years.

But the Coalition and the Greens could block toll extensions through their numbers in the Upper House.

Geelong MP Christine Couzens described the coalition’s opposition to the project as shameless political point-scoring.

“The Liberals need to get out of the way and stop putting thousands of jobs at risk.”

But coalition MP Andrew Katos described the distributor as “the wrong project that will make traffic on the West Gate Freeway worse”.

“The Western Section of the East West Link is what should be built,” the Member for South Barwon said.

“Like ripping up the East West Link contracts, Daniel Andrews has a history of making deals that are bad for Victorians.”

“Daniel Andrews needs to go back to the drawing board and provide a real alternative that will combat congestion for Geelong commuters.”

Police hunt as rider ‘left for dead’

By Luke Voogt A security camera could have filmed a vehicle that allegedly ran down a cyclist at Drysdale, according to police, But the camera images showed two separate vehicles of similar appearance, prompting investigators to seek public help identifying which was involved in the alleged hit-run last year.

A 48-year-old Leopold man was riding north on Princess Road at 5.30pm on 27 October when a white twin cab utility allegedly struck him from behind.

The collision left the man with both elbows fractured, a fractured eye socket and broken ribs.

A witness discovered the male rider lying on the asphalt at 127 Princess Road, a vacant lot, and chased a white ute back towards Drysdale.

But the witness lost track of the ute and was unable to obtain its registration number.

Bellarine Senior Constable Pat McElligott attended the scene of the crash.

“It’s appalling, really, just to leave a cyclist on the side of the road,” Sen Const McElligott said.

“He’s been struck from behind and left for dead.”

Sen Const McElligott said the man was riding

responsibly and wearing a high visibility clothing.

“He was riding on a quiet country road and it would have been easy to go around him.”

An ambulance took the cyclist to Geelong Hospital. He recently returned to work but spent six weeks recovering from his injuries.

Police this week released two images of utes that were in the area at the time on social media.

They hoped the owners of either of the vehicles could assist with their enquiries.

Sen Const McElligott urged the driver to come forward.

“They should take some responsibility for their actions,” he said.

Clinic allows our kids to mix it with the rugby elite Geelong’s rugby union club has secured Victoria’s elite players for a junior clinic this weekend.

Geelong Rams junior president Rowan Edgar was thrilled that Melbourne Rebels players and coaching staff would visit the club “in AFL heartland” this Saturday .

“It’s really exciting to be able to get these highcalibre players down to Geelong in support of grassroots rugby,” he said.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to be exposed to and learn some world-class coaching techniques.”

Geelong Rams, established in 1929, have had a successful two years, bagging a premiership, and awards for Coach of the Year and Player of The Year in 2015.

The club employs “Smart Rugby” coaching practice and the younger games are closely supervised with reduced field sizes and on-field coaches assisting the referees and guiding the play.

The Melbourne Rebels have played in SANZAR’s Super Rugby tournament, the top competition in the Southern Hemisphere, since 2011.

The clinic starts at 11am on Saturday at Flinders Peak Reserve.

EXCITED: Geelong rugby union juniors will meet their idols in a clinic this weekend.

WANTED: An image taken from a security camera on Princess Road of the ute in the area at the time of a hit-and-run collision.

Police urged witnesses to the accident or anybody with information to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Bellarine Police Station on 5256 2698.

Beach brawlers in police sights Detectives are hunting for a group of youths after a night-time brawl in Ocean Grove earlier this month.

Geelong Crime Investigation Unit this week released a digital image of a man they wish to speak to in relation to the incident (pictured).

Police said a large group of youths had gathered in an area known as ‘The Crater’, near a car park on Surf Beach Road on 11 February.

About 10pm, a group of 10-15 males, believed to be aged between 15 and 20, approached the youths and a number of assaults occurred.

At least eight teenagers aged between 16 and 19, seven males and one female, received minor injuries as a result of the altercation. Police attended but made no arrests as the alleged offenders had fled.

Detectives urge witnesses or anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to visit www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Letters Train noise off the rails I write regarding last week’s Geelong Indy story headlined Express Plan to Speed Up Geelong.

I keep reading pleas that “duplication is urgently needed between South Geelong and Waurn Ponds” for our public trains to service the burgeoning communities to the west and south of Geelong’s CBD. I’m sure I am not the only local who would like the civil engineer who finally gets the job to upgrade the ancient Geelong rail line to read the following.

The noise the train makes crossing Breakwater, starting 4am and becoming later, is so loud it echoes searchingly across the valley.

I’m situated 3km away on the top of Belmont Hill and the noise is load enough to wake me every morning.

Sydney’s train system is 20 years in front of our ancient system - quiet as a whisper and regular every 20 minutes.

Duplicating the Geelong line would mean more noise.

Sit down, planners and do it right this time quiet would mean happy locals and carriages that might roll faster.

Israeli discipline hits right note Richard Worland (Letters, 3 February) put a case for the return of conscription, which has other benefits to the community as well.

In Israel all young people, male and female, go through three years’ national service and come out as responsible, respectable citizens.

It also means all parents have military training, the discipline of which they then foster in their children.

During two visits to Israel I saw no signs of delinquency, graffiti or drug culture.

Even in a huge crowd at a festival there was no apprehension of danger.

Respect was shown for older people, young families with children in pushers were given unhindered right-of-way, goodwill and courtesy prevailed.

Maybe our much maligned ‘nasho’ could be reinstated. I’ve heard a lot of old blokes say it was a turning point that set them on the right path for the

Fangs for the looting, council The lady who wrote to local papers about the recent Our Future report might well think the report and its process a good thing but I have a problem with the whole thing.

The process is a subversion of proper democratic principles. If the lady had any knowledge of Australia’s constitution she would know this.

Any change to the way we are governed must be via a referendum of the people of Australia, as per Section 128 of said constitution.

However, the powers that be try slipping around this provision by using the public ignorance to offer a so-called better model.

What the writer also neglected was that the implementation of a new model will be by the same

people who are responsible for delivering the unsatisfactory old model. Anyone for leaving Dracula in charge of the blood bank?

Geelong people have never gotten what they want from any council in recent years and I can’t see council changing its spots now.

With council elections slated for October, perhaps it’s time to rethink how our council is set up and return to the pre-amalgamation model.

That was when councils actually did what they were supposed to.

The future might well reside in the past, when councils had workers to mend potholes and fix other things, which council now does not do despite the massive amounts of loot it harvests from us.

If council does not do what we want it to, why should it exist in its current form?

Invest in storage for energy security Just as New South Wales and Queensland had their highest recorded temperatures and accompanying catastrophic firestorms, Malcolm Turnbull tried to spruik more coal-fired power stations and spending taxpayer money to build them.

We must be the only country in the world putting forward the notion that we need to burn more fossil fuels to lower the world’s temperature.

The current problem with electricity generation

Producing energy from coal is now more expensive than wind and solar.

It would be far better to invest money in energy storage, which is now a reality and is able to smooth out grid power fluctuations and provide energy security for us all in perpetuity.

Leigh Adamson Belmont

Can’t get no nuclear satisfaction While not a Whitehall state secret, Sir Mick Jagger was known to assiduously wander through his London mansion turning the lights off after his kids.

So celebrity and money are reassuringly not always oblivious to electricity charges.

Front and centre, pretty much everything comes to an abrupt halt without electricity. What invention betters it?

Yet all sides of politics locally would prefer to turn a blind eye to clean and relatively inexpensive nuclear power.

Political expedience and hollow opportunism opts for renewables, which have limited supplementary capacity on a good day, along with gaspowered plants of dubious benefit and a reduced continuation of the polluting status quo.

Ironically the bigger-picture is the need for federal governance to spare industry the need to pass on hiked power costs and for households to be then doubled-dipped, as in South Australia.

Because renewables in South Australia account for approximately one quarter of everyday output, weather extremes cause the wheels to fall off electricity supplies, in some communities for up to a fortnight at a time. Ironically, South Australia is also home to the world’s largest-known uranium reserves, at Olympic Dam. The Lucky Country continuum has its parameters. If, as touted by commentators recently, there’s to be the genesis of, for want of a better title, a normal party to get the ship back on course, then nuclear power, in energy and as a deterrent in defence, has got to be the number-one priority.

Pako Festa

Geelong MP Christine Couzens shares her excitement leading up to Diversitat’s Pako Festa.

It is a great honour to represent such a multicultural community in Geelong.

There is always great excitement leading up to Diversitat’s Pako Festa each year, and this year is no different.

After 35 years, we still look forward to one of the largest multi-cultural festivals in Australia, right here in Geelong.

Each year Pakington Street Geelong West is filled with stalls of traditional foods, arts and craft and many other traditional offerings.

Pakington Street businesses also play a significant role participating in the festival spirit with their own street stalls and special offers.

There is traditional music and dance from many nations that make up our fantastic, multicultural Geelong.

Over 100,000 people descend on Pakington Street to celebrate ethnic diversity, harmony and inclusion in Victoria’s largest regional city.

One of the key highlights for me is the street parade which includes many floats and performers from diverse range of communities and organisations.

Pako Festa is a great opportunity for our many ethnic communities to showcase and preserve cultural diversity in our great region.

I admire the work undertaken by Diversitat, which of course is far more than the Pako Festa, supporting local ethnic communities, new migrants and refugees.

Diversitat’s commitment to diversity and inclusion plays a valuable and vital role in this re-

I am proud that the Andrews Government has continued its financial commitment to Pako Festa.

Importantly, the State Government’s wholeof-government approach to multicultural affairs ensures that the needs of Victoria’s culturally and linguistically diverse communities are a major focus.

Geelong’s long history as a multi-cultural city is something we should all be very proud of and of course celebrate.

If you haven’t been to Pako Festa before, I encourage you to a make a point of attending this year.

I will be there at my stall on Pako enjoying the festive celebrations of our fantastic multicultural community. I look forward to a great day.

Famed musical taps talent galore

By Luke Voogt Newtown eight-year-old Kempton Maloney could be Geelong’s next big acting talent.

The Grade 3 Geelong Grammar student will take the stage for the first time next month in CenterStage Geelong’s production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

“It’s my first musical,” he told the Indy this week.

“I’m very excited and a little bit nervous, but it’s going to be great.”

Kempton will take on the role of Jeremy Potts after a year with the local theatre group.

“I love pretending to be Jeremy, he’s got some very good lines and he has a lot singing,” he said.

“It’s a fantastic show. I hope lots of Geelong people see it and they enjoy it.”

Kempton was enjoying the chance to learn from veteran local actors and checking out the old cars on set.

“It’s a fantastic cast, probably some of the best people I’ve worked with,” he said.

“My mum and dad are really proud of me, and they’re really excited.”

Kempton hopes to one day audition for a movie.

He appeared at least to have fine-tuned the art of the acceptance speech, rattling off the names of all who had inspired him so far.

“And a big shout out to my family for encouraging me to do this,” he added.

But theatre is not his only talent.

“I play the drums, too,” he said.

Last year Kempton won a national drumming competition in the under 12 age group, where he met drummers who perform for superstars including Lady Gaga, Madonna and Ringo Star.

A huge fan of Nirvana and Foo Fighters drummers, Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins, he dreams of writing a rock song.

CenterStage president David Greenwood was optimistic about Kempton’s future.

YOUNG TALENT: Kempton Maloney, centre, in action during rehearsals.

“He is a talented young actor with so much potential,” he said. “I’m sure we will see him on Broadway in years to come”.

David was liberal in his praise of the show’s other cast.

“Rachel, who plays Truly Scrumptious, is an extremely talented performer. Her natural stage

presence is remarkable,” he said. “You wouldn’t even know that this marks her first show since leaving school many years ago.”

“Mark has taken on the persona of Dick Van Dyke. The athletic agility required to sing, dance and fly for the entire show is a massive achievement.”

CentreStage’s acting talent will be on display during the play, which runs at Geelong Performing Arts Centre from 10 to 18 March.

“We have a wonderful cast full of over 70 cast members including kids, adults, dogs and even a flying car,” David said.

The duo are almost living the dream, they just hope one day to be able “to pay the bills” with it.

“If everybody likes it we’ll keep doing it,” Stephenson said.

“We’ll keep the dream alive as long as we can

and then go back and start laying bricks - that’s pretty much it.”

Hockey Dad will return to the Barwon Club on 2 March after its first performance there in 2015.

“We’re looking forward to coming over,” he said.

Guitarist Zach Stephenson is yet to rake in the big bucks but says touring Europe, the US and Australia easily beats “a nine to fiver”.

Stephenson, one half of NSW surf rock duo Hockey Dad, spoke to the Indy this week while recovering from a show in Perth the night before.

“I think I’m still drunk, actually,” the 22-yearold said. “We fly to Europe tonight.”

Stephenson formed the duo with childhood mate Billy Fleming, 20, in 2013 after their high school band “fizzled out” and they had nothing better to do.

“We just started playing pretty much out of boredom at home,” he said.

“Dad had a drum kit - so Billy just jumped on them because there were no other instruments left.”

The Wollongong pair named their new band after a video game in a Simpsons episode, where two dads brutally bash each other at a hockey match.

“We couldn’t think of anything else,” Stephenson said, “now we’re stuck with it.”

They burst onto the scene in 2014 through Triple J’s Unearthed competition after finishing their first five-track EP in 2013.

“Unearthed gave us a good shot,” Stephenson said.

“We got a bit of good play on Triple J for that.”

The boys have since released an album and toured nationally and internationally.

“I wouldn’t call it a rise to fame,” Stephenson said.

“I still live at home - we both have full-time jobs (in the band) but we don’t get paid. It doesn’t get embarrassing for another few years.”

But he said it was worth “living off mi goreng” and with the folks to play in front of live crowds across the world.

TELEVISION GUIDE

FINALLY FRIDAY DREAMS: Melbourne’s ‘Stevie Nicks’ Penni Perrin in action.

The Peninsula Monday - Friday Lunch Specials 12noon - 4 pm (not valid public holidays)

NEW MENU 13 Selections from $10 Our Bistro is also serving A-la-carte.

Each show Fleetwood Mac tribute artist Penni Perrin performs is a trip down memory lane for her audience.

“If you want to go on a journey, rather than just watch a concert, then this is the show,” she said.

“Most people that come to our shows have seen them before and can tell you stories from the ’80s.”

As the ‘Stevie Nicks’ of tribute act Tusk, Perrin tells the emotional stories behind each song.

Through two of the band’s most famous songs, Dreams and Go Your Own Way, she recounts the romantic break up of Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

“I’ve read all the autobiographies,” she said.

“I talk a lot about the background of each song and how they’re sort of intertwined.”

Perrin has her own connection with one of Fleetwood Mac’s songs - Sara - which she says draws out her emotional side.

“It’s the one I remember from my own childhood the most,” she said.

“That one’s probably the hardest hitting for me.

“My parents were going through a break up

when it was being played and all that emotion comes out when I sing.”

But despite her childhood memories of the band Perrin only “came to Stevie Nicks later in life”.

“My relationship with her has only been for the last six years,” the 42-year-old said.

Early in her career she turned down a role for Fleetwood Mac cover act.

“I didn’t see Fleetwood Mac then as the band they would become,” she said.

In 2010 the Melbourne-based singer joined Fleetwood Mac tribute band Rhiannon, before “branching off” with her own act, Tusk, 18 months ago.

Perrin only saw the band itself live for the first time in 2015.

“I’d love to meet them and tell them I cover their songs,” she said.

Tusk features the talents of Jodie Thornton on vocals and keyboard as Christine McVie, Steve Burns as Lindsay Buckingham on guitar and Joe Muratore as Mick Fleetwood on drums.

The band plays at Geelong RSL on 18 March.

EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION

With confidence

By Damian Mckew, Clonard College principal Today, Clonard College educates 885 girls through offering an extensive range of excellent academic, cultural and sporting opportunities.

Its dedicated staff members encourage students to become creative and confident future leaders through a tradition of promoting academic success while nurturing a strong sense of social responsibility.

The school is inspired to act with compassion towards all in line with the teachings of the Gospels that are central to its Catholic faith.

Staff members give thanks for the great opportunities that they have been blessed with at Clonard and they celebrate the unique giftedness of each and every student in the school’s care.

Members of staff welcome families to visit the Open Day on Friday 17 and consider Clonard as a fantastic school for their daughter’s secondary education.

Clonard College has its roots buried deeply in the Brigidine traditions of strength and kindliness - a joyous celebration of learning and collegiality.

The college holds dear the belief that all students are blessed with gifts and that it’s the responsibility of education to enable and promote their giftedness.

From an initial cohort of 40 in 1956, the college has undergone significant change in its size, infrastructure and curriculum.

However, what remains static is the sense of peace and oneness that pervades the college, palpable to all who visit the school.

Now with more than 800 students, Clonard boasts a broad range of learning pathways to enable all students to enjoy success during their secondary years.

Students are encouraged to take ownership of

Growing minds can still hit the books The college believes that each student has unique gifts. their learning, particularly through the middle and senior years to enable them to segue easily into tertiary education or work placement.

Clonard offers a comprehensive range of VCE subjects and alternative year 12 studies including VCAL and VET. While Clonard has recently doubled its size, the student body has increased only minimally so the pastoral atmosphere of the school is maintained and students can enjoy the reflective, sporting and social spaces around the school.

These new learning spaces represent our investment in student physical well-being as well as spiritual and academic development.

Oberon South Primary school’s strong academic program has a particular focus on reading at all grade levels.

“We’re really trying to engage the kids in their reading,” Principal Glen Lauder says.

“We’re choosing the right books for them to read, teaching them strategies they need to know and looking at what makes a good reader.”

Mr Laudern feels “lucky” that his school has lots of open spaces, courts, “really good” playgrounds and a “nice big oval”.

Oberon South also has its own kitchen-garden, allowing students to grow their own produce and participate in cooking programs.

“We also have chickens that students look after, mainly the senior students. The kids collect the eggs and recycle the food scraps,” Mr Lauder says.

The school also has a buddy program run with grade six students. The program pairs the

grade sixers with new students to help them make friends.

The school has joined forces with The Salvation Army in another academic initiative.

“We’ve been running the Salvation Just Brass for a number of years but this is the first year we’ve expanded to include the kids in grades three to five,” Mr Lauder said.

Students involved in the program have a weekly music lesson, mostly on brass instruments.

The students can also attend a Salvos hall to play in a band with students from other schools “as an optional extra”.

“We hope to develop a school band of our own in the future,” Mr Lauder says.

Oberon South Primary School is at Tintinara Crescent, Belmont.

EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION

Advertising Feature

College offering something special There is something special about Christian College Geelong.

The college knows this because the students say so - and so do their families.

But what makes this so?

The collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundamental aim is to encourage students to develop their total character - spiritually, intellectually, physically and emotionally.

Simply put, the school wants to help families to raise exceptional people, not just exceptional students.

The school is very proud of the educational program it provides, from day care and kindergarten all the way through to a balanced range of opportunities at senior school including VCE, VCE VET and VCAL. The specifically designed kindergarten, junior school (Pre-Kinder to Year 4), middle school (Years 5 to 9), senior school (Years 10 to 12) and Bellarine Campus (Prep to Year 9) structure - provides a developmental progression that allows the school to meet its studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs at every level.

Parents can bring their child to the school as a three-year-old and by the time they have grown into a young adult they can be sure they have been given every opportunity to reach their full potential.

The results students achieve upon graduation continue to raise the bar every year.

The college strives to create an environment of excellence but also one that allows all students to find their individual gifts and strengths.

Through new programs and facilities, students are exposed to the latest 21st century learning teaching methods delivered by dedicated, specialist and caring staff who will become reliable, uplifting figures in a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.

Its renowned, state-of-the-art music program is one example of this, giving students of all ages a wide range of opportunities, including overseas and interstate tours, as well as 50 specialist instru-

The college develops its studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; total character. mental staff on hand to provide personal tuition.

The sports programs has some of the best teachers and coaches in the region, while the prominent Art Technology and Design program is committed to fostering studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;visual literacyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as they grow up in an increasingly complex, visual and creative world.

The Christian College â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;experienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goes well beyond education.

The collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core values of faith, grace, hope, love and truth underpin everything that the school does.

And as such, students will be called to consider the role they play as a global citizen both in the community and in the broader world around them.

This is exemplified in our life-changing Back Creek Rural Studies experience.

The invaluable life skills that Year 9 students acquire from this unique five-week experience is continually voted on reflection by graduates as the most important and highly valued step of their school journey.

All educational programs and activities are completed through the lens of Christian faith with the college motto: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Seek ye first the Kingdom

of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; acting as a permanent guide.

Students are encouraged to adopt for themselves a personal faith in Jesus Christ, and to apply his teaching of love, justice and compassion in their relations with others.

What makes Christian College Geelong so special?

The truth is, it is difficult to truly encapsulate in words.

It is something that has to be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;feltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the school encourages those who are interested to come and find out what it is for themselves.

After 18 years selling cars and trucks Luke Hanneysee is joining his cousin Justin at one of Geelong’s oldest and most respected dealerships.

Luke joined Mike Hanneysee Car Sales in December, bringing his years of expertise with him.

“It’s great working with Justin,” he says.

“We’ve got interesting cars and we meet a lot different people.”

Car sales runs in the Hanneysees’ blood Luke’s dad ran a dealership for 28 years, while his uncle Mike started his 56 years ago.

Having grown up around cars, Luke and Justin know exactly what to look for in a quality vehicle.

“We make sure we buy them with low kilometres, service books and a good service history,” Luke says.

He adds that the key to the business is his and Justin’s relaxed approach to selling cars.

“We don’t believe in pressure sales.”

And it appears to be working, with roughly 60 per cent of the customers coming from repeat business.

“We get a lot of people coming back in - or their parents, kids or grand kids,” Luke says.

The cousins hope to pass on their family legacy when they retire.

“It’s a business we hope we can keep going in

the family for another 50 years,” Luke says.

“Depending on how many of my kids or Justin’s are interested.”

Justin has been the dealership’s director for a decade during which time he has been involved in his local community.

This year the dealership is supporting St Josephs Football Club, the Cancer Council, and magic show for children with a disability.

“We just try to put back in,” Justin says.

The RACV green light dealer still trades as Mike Hanneysee Car Sales, despite Justin’s father retiring some time ago.

“Some people ask me why I don’t change the name but it’s the name by which people have come to recognise our quality service,” Justin says.

While the dealer specialises in European cars, it’s also got a wide range of four wheel drives, utes and Japanese cars.

"We accept all sorts of trade-ins including jet skis, motorbikes, caravans and boats," Justin says.

And the company makes sure it sources all its work from nearby mechanics and traders.

“All the people we use for electrical work, roadworthies and everything else are local,” Justin says.

“Dad’s done that since day one.”

“We do all major and minor repairs, including exhaust, brakes, clutches and suspension,” Gary ex-plains.

“Plus we do the full range of upgrades and servicing, including air-conditioner re-gassing.”

Gary and Mazda go back a long way, including his top qualifications in the repair and servicing of the famous rotary engine.

“We’re always happy to give a quote so the customer knows exactly what they are up for,” he says.

SPORT Finals ladder still firming

Anglers brave strong winds

LOCAL CRICKET

ON THE BITE

Jim Timberlake

Chris Pitman

Geelong Cricket Club enjoyed a well earned rest last weekend as the Australian cricket team took over Kardinia Park for their T20 international against Sri Lanka on Sunday night.

With one game remaining, the Cats travel to Footscray Edgewater over the next two Saturdays, and will look to continue their recent return to form to ensure they end their season on a positive note.

In the Geelong Cricket Association, with one home and away round remaining, we are still no closer to knowing which six teams will progress to this seasons finals.

While Grovedale, North Geelong, St Josephs and East Belmont have booked their spots, there are still four teams fighting it out for the last two spots.

Murgheboluc currently sit in fifth spot and they take on eighth placed Geelong City who amazingly are still in the hunt and will be treating this as an elimination final. Both sides lost last week, meaning if they want to progress, they need to find a way to turn their form around.

While Murgheboluc have enjoyed an even spread of contributors all season, the Sharks have

Anglers flocked to the Barwon River estuary for shelter from strong winds last week.

Trelly’s Geelong’s Adam Van Der Lugt, Peri Stavropoulos and I anchored up the Sheepwash area last Thursday evening before setting fresh squid baits for mulloway.

We were instead surprised to catch wellconditioned pinkie snapper to just over 40cm, while Adam boated a 40cm while casting soft plastics.

Kingfish kept anglers entertained off Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads during breaks in the wind.

The Rip gave produced exceptional kingfish action, along with some southern bluefin tuna to 20kg. Trolling lures or drifting while jigging knife jigs worked well on the kings.

Away from The Rip, Gone Fishing Charters’ Chris Vasilevski guided his clients onto well-conditioned King George whiting and pinkie snapper.

Clifton Springs produced good numbers whiting out from the old Dell, including baglimit captures around first or last light.

Australian salmon to 1kg prowled off Clifton Springs and down toward Alcoa Pier.

Snapper were also taken near the pier and in Point Richards’ channel.

Corio Bay rewarded land-based anglers with flathead and pinkies. St Helens boat ramp was productive for anglers using bluebait on paternoster rigs.

Anglers chasing bream down the western district had success in the Hopkins River, with fish to 40cm devouring soft plastic and hard-body lures.

Lake Purrumbete continued giving up cricket-score numbers of redfin. Trevor Holmes guided clients onto some of the hottest redfin fishing he had seen.

Rod Rees mixed it up while fishing with Trevor, catching a 5.86kg Chinook salmon on a Fish Arrow soft plastic.

Next door, anglers casing spoon lures around the margins of Lake Bullen Merri caught rainbow trouts.

relied on their big guns to get them over the line too often. This will be brought into sharp focus if their gun fast bowler Kent Agg fails to come up from a recent injury, sustained at Country Week, and restricting him to just 2.1 overs in the game against Grovedale last round.

While neither team has set the world on fire of lately, Murgheboluc has enjoyed a slightly more consistent season, and should have enough depth to progress to their first division one finals series.

The other two teams hoping to secure the final spot are Newtown & Chilwell and South Barwon.

The Two Blues won their first five games of the season, but since then have just one win from six games and are seriously battling to find any form. In their favour though is the fact that they should have star import Jordan Clark available for this game before he heads home to England for County duties. They also have the slightly easier task of playing Bell Post Hill, meaning their destiny is in their own hands.

South Barwon kept their season alive with a narrow win against St Peters last week, but face the unenviable task of taking on ladder leader Grovedale who have won ten games on the trot.

Interestingly, Grovedale’s last loss was against South Barwon in round one, and with key Tigers Chris Young and Gareth Yelland not expected to

play, who’s to say that result can’t be repeated?

Geelong City v MURGHEBOLUC, Lara v ST JOSEPHS, EAST BELMONT v Leopold, NEWTOWN & CHILWELL v Bell Post Hill, St Peters v NORTH GEELONG, GROVEDALE v South Barwon.

This year’s final six in Division 2 is also yet to be settled, with Alexander Thomson likely to replace the loser of the crucial clash between fifthplaced Torquay and sixth-placed Marshall.

The Vikings have enjoyed a purple patch since Christmas, winning all four games, including an outright win over St Albans Breakwater last round. They take on Geelong West this game, and the knowledge that six points will see them play finals will surely be enough motivation to win.

That means that Torquay travel to Marshall knowing that the winner goes through, and the loser can kiss their season goodbye.

Both teams have been very inconsistent all season, but they each boast a number of match winners, meaning someone needs to step up and have a huge game when it matters most to carry their side into March action.

Thomson v HIGHTON, Modewarre v NEWCOMB & DISTRICT, ALEXANDER THOMSON v Geelong West, BELL PARK v St Albans Breakwater, Marshall v TORQUAY, Guild Saints v MANIFOLD HEIGHTS.

North Geelong Warriors came to their first home match with a pep in their step after a promising start to 2017 against Pascoe Vale where they fought out a 1-1 draw.

Rightfully buoyed in front of their faithful in large numbers who were eagerly waiting to see what sort of season the Warriors will have ahead of them.

Bentleigh Greens their opponents have had a very successful period going all the way to FFA Cup semi-finals and NPL grand final in recent times, last week dispatching Green Gully 3-0 in relatively easy fashion, as always lurking among the goals Matthew Thurtell who is a constant threat up front.

Bentleigh got the match off to a lively start with successive corners trying to utilise set plays to unsettle the Warriors.

The Warriors settled and after some clever combination work through the middle, Bobby Vidanoski delivered a cross goal pass from the left wing via Juso Julardzija that was hit well from 20 metres by Andrew Doig, zipping past Ryan Scott for the lead on 13 minutes.

The ensuing 30 minutes were all North Geelong, gilt edged chances to Michael Anderson and Julardzija were only keeping Bentleigh in the game.

On 37 minutes, Scott was adjudged to have brought down Anderson in the box, Matt Thorne stood up to take the penalty, it was tamely taken and easily kept in play by Scott.

The second half didn’t start brightly for the Warriors, within five minutes Bentleigh had

themselves level when Ben Liftin tapped in a loose ball after a Daniel Zilic save.

Soon after, Nathan Long brought down Thurtell in the box giving him the opportunity to take Bentleigh in front and he did so sending Zilic the wrong from the spot kick.

In true Warrior fashion, the battle raged on, North Geelong’s use of direct football was unsettling Bentleigh, despite the best efforts including a near header miss to Ivan Grgic and Vidanoski hitting the bar the scores remained 2-1 to the visitors.

Coach Micky Colina commented that he was happy with the team’s performance but gutted to have let the result slip away.

Their opportunity to atone comes on Monday night against Kingston at Grange Reserve, the other newly promoted side to come off a 3-3 draw against Green Gully.
