2020 Award Winner, James Murphy with Professor Iain Martin, Vice Chancellor of major sponsor Deakin University.

Never has the resilience and creativity of our local business community been more on show than during the past 14 months. With COVID-19 restrictions having a huge impact on the way businesses operate, owners and staff have had to find innovative ways to adapt and keep going. In many cases, mere survival was a huge achievement. Others, having developed new methods to deliver services or generate income out of necessity, now find themselves well placed to thrive into the future. On the whole, our business community has shown remarkable strength and deserves collective recognition of its efforts. The Geelong Business Excellence Awards give us a great chance to come together and share in each other’s stories of struggle and success. This year’s theme – ‘Clever. Creative. Resilient.’ – is so appropriate, reflecting our region’s continued drive towards a clever and creative future, while acknowledging the extra determination and hard work required in recent times. Congratulations to the Geelong Chamber of Commerce for continuing to build on the rich history of these awards, which have now run for 35 consecutive years. I encourage everyone to put your own business forward, or nominate an outstanding business or individual you know. Best of luck.

CR STEPHANIE ASHER Mayor, City of Greater Geelong

Geelong Business Excellence Awards entries are now open The Geelong Chamber of Commerce calls on all businesses, business leaders and young entrepreneurs to enter the Geelong Business Excellence Awards. The Geelong Business Excellence Awards in 2021 are all about recognising and celebrating our clever, creative and resilient business community. It’s important to celebrate those businesses who have pivoted during extraordinary circumstances and now move forward with confidence. Ben Flynn, Chief Executive Officer, Geelong Chamber of Commerce, said: “Geelong businesses are agile and we can’t wait to celebrate their achievements of adapting, surviving or thriving in one of the most challenging business and economic environments in history.” Proudly supported by major sponsors, LBW Business + Wealth Advisors and Deakin University and managed by the Geelong Chamber of Commerce, the awards celebrate business excellence across 20 categories targeting small, medium and large businesses from all industries including the manufacturing, hospitality, tourism, not for profit, health, financial services and more.

The awards offer entrants, finalists and winners a range of opportunities and experiences far beyond simply ‘winning’. Tennille McInnes, Business Awards Manager said: ‘’The entry process helps you articulate what your business does, how you do it and why you are unique. Here is a great opportunity to celebrate everything your team has contributed over the last year.” Information Sessions will be conducted online from May 11 where you learn more about entering and how to write a successful submission. Past winners and judges will be available to give you advice and answer any burning questions. Entries are open through the Geelong Business Excellence Awards website and can be submitted up until July 16, 2021.

James Murphy and his crew from Sea All Dolphin Swims were upstairs at Queenscliff Brewhouse as a party of eight when they heard they’d won the LBW Business + Wealth Advisors Business of the Year award at the 2020 Geelong Business Excellence Awards (GBEA) virtual event. James – or Murph as he’s known – says he and his mob really let their hair down at that first gathering for a long time because of COVID-19. “It was fantastic to win the Big One,” he says, with the business having taken out awards in other categories in the past two GBEAs. “And the virtual event was done incredibly well – big thumbs up for the Chamber of Commerce.” The kudos didn’t stop there, however. Sea All Dolphin Swims also won the the Tourism Greater Geelong & Bellarine Tourism & Hospitality Award, James was crowned Deakin University Young Entrepreneur of the Year, and the business now occupies a place in the GBEA Hall of Fame. This was a history-making achievement. Since then, Murph was invited to represent conservation in tourism by Tourism Australia, and named as a “sustainable storyteller”. And James, a thoughtful and dynamic asset to the Geelong region, has accepted the invitation to be a judge at this year’s GBEA. “After some thought, I accepted the

From history-making winner to judge invitation and feel very honoured,” he says. “I see it as a valuable chance to support the awards and stay involved, since we’re out of the running for the next couple of years. It also lets me interact with a whole range of businesses in the judging process, networking and providing information on other projects we’re working on.” One of those projects is an exciting one involving plastics recycling, an endeavour that’s set to have a dynamic impact throughout the community. At this stage, it

“It’s just a good thing to undertake. It brings our team together to take a close look at our practices, and how we present ourselves to the world.

Managing the “wealth”of business awards He’s been on the Geelong Business Excellence Awards (GBEA) judging panel for 13 years, and panel chair for the past seven, so it’s fair to say that Simon Flowers knows a thing or two about businesses in the region. He’s also a principal at LBW Business + Wealth Advisors, a major GBEA sponsor and Geelong’s largest locally owned accounting practice for 30-plus years. Simon says his firm’s sponsorship of the awards was a natural fit from the outset. “LBW has always closely interacted with other businesses, helping them achieve goals and improve their wealth management, by providing a full suite of accounting and financial planning services,” he says. “This gives us deeper insight into how businesses function and any challenges they face. “The awards are also a great chance for LBW to support Geelong’s business sector, and overlaps with our not-for-profit support in our fantastic community.” He says that GBEA judges get a privileged look into local businesses and, as specialists in particular areas, can also offer valuable feedback. “The judging process is quite robust, while the application format gives owners what is essentially a free health check. It’s great to visit the finalists’ workplaces, talk to their people, and get a real feel for just how incredible they are. “About 40 per cent of entrants each year are new to the awards, many becoming

finalists and therefore exposed to other vibrant businesses with potential for collaboration. Businesses often become repeat entrants because they understand the awards’ value – and want to achieve the winner’s podium, mostly as recognition of

their teams’ talents.” Simon watched the awards on Channel 31 last year, sitting on the couch at home with his wife. He echoed the opinion of other viewers that the Chamber did a first-class job in the virtual setting – but he’s looking

forward to getting back to “live” and enjoying the party. He concludes by saying: “Any winner in any category of the GBEA is a cracking business and one to be proud of.” Carole Levy

Three hundred million seadlings …and counting When the three Jacometti brothers started out in market gardening in Werribee in 1986, they probably didn’t guess that by 2021 they and their now large crew would be supplying more than 300 million seedlings to growers across nearly the whole country. It’s Boomaroo Nurseries’ approach to business and resultant expansion that earned them the gong in 2020 Geelong Business Excellence Awards (GBEA) in the Medium to Large Business or Division/Department 21+ Employees category. One of the younger generation of Jacomettis, Nick – the son of Theo – says the awards application process was definitely the most rewarding. “This was our first entry into the awards and we put a lot of effort into the application,” he says. “It gave us a chance to make a frank evaluation of what we’ve achieved, rather than focus on the day-to-day challenges. “Not only was the whole process a boost to team morale, it also instilled who we are and our values, and informed our marketing approach

into the future. Developing this clarity has been invaluable.” Members of the Boomaroo team each watched the awards night in their own homes, with messages coming in from the team and board members as the night progressed. Nick believes the virtual awards night was democratised in a way. “We got the news as it happened, and everyone who wanted to could be part of the virtual excitement. No one was left out. It was great that the broader community got involved – it was really well run as well.” With Boomaroo continuing its growth and investment in new innovations, Nick says that he looks forward to entering the awards again – perhaps one day doing one better and achieving the top award. Quite an achievement, Boomaroo wound up the night as finalists in five other categories: Innovation, Research and Development; Sustainability; Health and Wellbeing Promoting Business; Safe and Healthy Business; and Business of the Year.

Business is thriving at Manse Group worthwhile. “It gave us and our team a chance to reflect on how far we’d come, and that was great for all of us. To take time out to evaluate is valuable in itself, and allowed us to more clearly to look to the future. I would highly recommend other local businesses enter the awards for this reason alone. Jake and Rachel agree that Geelong Chamber of Commerce did an amazing job on the awards night. “It would have taken a great deal of planning to pull it off and it was a huge success. “We loved seeing all the businesses in our area taking part and were very impressed with the business diversity and what is being achieved. “We received lots of congratulatory messages on the night and in the following weeks, from friends and clients and even a friend overseas who watched the awards on Facebook. Even now, we still get congratulated when we run across friends or old clients.” On another confirmatory note, Manse Group obviously impressed the judges because one of them went on to use the building service himself.

When Jake and Rachel Pitman heard their name called out, they were “shocked” – as well as enormously pleased and excited. Sharing a special meal with Dane, one of their Building Assesors, Jake and Rachel were watching the virtual awards night of the 2020 Geelong Business Excellence Awards when their business, Manse Group, was announced as the winner of the City of Greater Geelong Home-based and Micro Business category. “We really were in shock,” Rachel says. “It was the first time we’d entered the awards and to get a win was great. It was like getting extra confirmation that we were doing a good job, that our team was being recognised for all their efforts.” Since that night, Manse Group – launched five years ago - has doubled the size of its team to six, with the construction business booming in the area. Manse Group is a building and consulting firm, specialising in contract reviews and stage-by-stage inspections. “Construction is going gangbusters in the region, helped along by the government’s Home Builder grants. After all the challenges of COVID lockdowns, we’ve not only survived but thrived,” Rachel says. She describes the awards application process as challenging but thoroughly

A story told in Custom Neon It all started when Jake and Jessica Munday posted pics on Instagram of the neon signs they got for their young son, Jagger, and for their wedding. People took notice and soon they were getting quotes for friends from a supplier they’d managed to find. As an entrepreneur, Jake – who won the Deakin University Young Entrepreneur of the Year in the 2017 Geelong Business Excellence Awards – saw a business in the making. In 2018, Custom Neon was launched. Today, the couple employ 34 team members globally, and the business is the world’s largest neon manufacturer, with factories in Los Angeles, Shanghai and in-house. But Jessica and Jake still had time to gather with their local team upstairs at Geelong’s Alma Restaurant, the party of 10 sharing tapas and desserts as they eagerly watched the GBEA virtual awards night. Excitement was high when their name was called out. “It was great for all of us,” says Jake. “The event was really well put-together and a real coup for the local Chamber of Commerce – congrats to them.” While Jake was an old hand at completing

the award application process, he emphasised that it was very worthwhile repeating it for Custom Neon’s turn. “It gave us a chance to reflect on just what we’d achieved as a team. It was a ‘stop and smell the roses’ situation, but also revealed where we could think differently, identified areas that needed improvement, and showed us where we could do more in our community and for the environment.” Jake says that the business success is in part their ‘people and culture’ approach. “This is led by Jess, who has an HR background. Every month we have team meetings around shared food, and we listen and ensure our staff have everything they need to thrive, including training courses that set them up with skills for the future.” The dynamic couple is entering this year’s GBEA “for sure”. “We have a good story to tell, and we’ll enjoy it. As we continue to grow, it gives us another chance to stop and celebrate, win or not. “But this time, we’re going for the biggest gong, Business of the Year. Why not?” Jake asks with a chuckle.

Crew Faced is happy faced Finalists in a few categories in 2018 and 2019, Crew Faced Makeup Artistry made it into the winners’ circle at last year’s Geelong Business Excellence Awards (GBEA), taking out the Health & Wellbeing Promoting Business category, sponsored by Barwon Health. Crew Faced owner Jessica Anderson and her creative team felt honoured to win the prestigious award. “It took us three goes but we finally cracked it – and every attempt was worth it as a learning curve,” Jessica says. “By our third application we felt like old hands, and it proved a great chance to deeply analyse what worked for the business, what didn’t, and what we could do in the future. Our collective feedback was very valuable.” Since winning the award, Jessica has added to her team of seven by employing a makeup artist from a local VCA program, a move that underscores her commitment to her community. Jessica is also committed to the mental health and wellbeing of her team, aspects brought to the fore during the Covid season and recognised by GBEA judges. “The first thing was financial support of the crew, with Jobkeeper coming into play. But we made sure everyone was doing well emotionally, staying in close contact, offering support, and rethinking what we could do as a business in order to survive.

“We soon realised women still wanted access to glam, even if restricted from lots of socialising. To this end, I provided free makeup education courses online and we had such a good response we were soon selling makeup kits. “Also during Covid, we launched a new and exclusive range of magnetic eyelashes – and that’s still going gangbusters. “The Crew Faced team hung together through challenging times and we’ve come out the other end even stronger, with business booming right now.” As well as working out of her main studio in Lara (launched in 2014), Jessica also has a studio in Malop Street and another in Geelong West. The business specialises in hair and makeup, as well retail, events and education. And Victoria-wide mobile appointments accommodate location shoots, weddings, and freelance collaborations. On the awards night, Jessica heard Crew Faced announced as winner in the company of Katie, a friend from Sugar Images and fellow GBEA finalist. The pair agreed that, while there were no handshakes, the event had people all over emailing/messaging congratulations. “This just showed how much our wider community is on board with all the excitement that local achievements can generate.” Carole Levy

Getting a gong for Geelong When HR manager Brydie McClellan and Maddi Baron from marketing were tasked with championing Farm Foods’ entry into last year’s Geelong Business Excellence Awards (GBEA), it meant they got to ask questions of the entire 120-strong team, from senior management to production. Brydie says this gave them a deeper perspective of the company’s business approach and the way everyone contributes and connects. “This was a really valuable component of the awards application process,” she says. “It allowed us to “take the company’s pulse”, to see how far Farm Foods has come in more than 20 years, and to celebrate achievements.” Some of the hard-working team gathered in a Farm Foods meeting room to watch the virtual awards ceremony while sharing snacks and drinks. Brydie says that everyone was stoked when their name was called out

as winner of the Advanced Manufacturing & Industry category, sponsored by Geelong Manufacturing Council. “This was our first entry into the awards and everyone is rapt with the results.

Mum’s special day

As Rose Braedon endured a 30-hour labour for her firstborn Violet last month, she was grateful eased COVID-19 restrictions allowed husband Eric to be by her side. “He did amazing, he was awake with me the whole time and talked me through the breathing,” the 23-year-old Leopold pharmacy worker said. “Considering what was happening, it was pretty calm. I may have kicked the midwife accidentally, but that’s it. We were pretty tired by the end of it.” Rose gave birth to Violet at 41 weeks at 7.04am on April 7. “She was very late,” she said. “I went into labour on Tuesday morning and I was actually booked in to be induced that afternoon – so she didn’t want to come out.” Violet has been a “surprisingly” good sleeper in her first month, according to Rose. She is excited for brunch at Fork N Flower cafe on Sunday, as she and at least 2000 other new Geelong mums celebrate Mother’s Day for the first time. “I’m just enjoying being a mum,” she said.

Family’s plea for mercy By Luke Voogt Davinder Singh had been set to reunite with his wife and son next Thursday, before India’s COVID-19 crisis spiralled out of control. After obtaining a permanent residency for his wife and an Australian citizenship for his five-year-old son last November, he booked a flight for them for May 13, he told the Independent. “I was waiting for such a long time and now this happens,” the Geelong taxi driver said. “I’m really worried for them because of the situation. The hospital and medical services

are not very good over there.” Davinder moved to Geelong in 2001 and has been a permanent resident since 2005. He met his “kind-hearted” wife in 2015 before marrying her in 2016. Before COVID-19 he would visit her in India for long periods each year. “They were so happy when they knew they were coming, but now they are worried as well,” he said. With several Indian-Australians living in Geelong, Davinder is just one of many with family members – including Australian citizens and permanent residents – in India.

Mandeep Singh (not related to Davinder) urged Prime Minister Scott Morrison to overturn federal government’s decision to make travelling from India to Australia a crime under the Biosecurity Act. “I was quite shocked by the travel ban imposed by the Morrison government and the $65,000 fine for people coming, and [up to five years’] jail,” he said. “This is unfair behaviour. It’s not democracy and it’s not Australia. “The Sikh and Indian communities gave a huge contribution during the height of COVID-19 in Australia.” Mr Morrison has previously insisted the ban

is proportionate, necessary to avoid a third wave of COVID-19 in Australia and based on expert medical advice. But ABC reported yesterday that the government is considering using the Howard Springs quarantine facility exclusively for returned travellers from India when the temporary ban ends. About 9000 Australians are currently in India, including approximately 900 classed as vulnerable. The Indian Association of Geelong is set to launch a campaign to raise funds for medical supplies to send to India. The association plans to release details on its Facebook page in coming days.

Residents renew pool campaign By Luke Voogt Norlane residents have renewed their campaign to fund the “long-awaited” Northern Aquatic and Community Hub after neighbouring electorates received $43.5 million in government funding for similar projects. “It’s time to stand up and fight for a fair share for the north,” said campaign organiser Sandra Anderson. “You ask any resident here, of course they support it. We need this now.”

“I’m just a grandmother that’s lived in Norlane all my life and I’m passionate for anything we can get here in the north.” The renewed campaign comes after the federal and state governments contributed $20m and $13.5m respectively for the Surf Coast Shire’s pool in Torquay. Federal government has also committed $10 million for Geelong council’s planned pool in Drysdale. The Northern Aquatic and Community Hub has received $8.2 million in federal funding under the Local Roads and Community

Infrastructure Program (LRCI). In total, Geelong council is seeking $20 million each from the state and federal governments for the $61.5 million project. “Because we’re in safe federal and state seats, it’s often very hard to get funding for projects,” Ms Anderson said. “Locals love the pool but it’s seen its better days – it’s been there since 1965.” Victorian federal senator Sarah Henderson encouraged council to apply for funding for the hub under the upcoming phase two of the LRCI before July 31.

Ms Henderson said she was backing council’s application for $10 million for the project under the Building Better Regions Fund. “I believe it is critical that the state government provides $20 million of funding for the [project] in its upcoming budget,” she said. A state government spokesperson said this month’s 2021-22 budget would deliver “positive outcomes for Geelong’s northern suburbs”.

Kids hit local pools in their pyjamas Geelong youngsters took a dip in their pyjamas or clothes that have “seen better days” to sharpen their skills for Water Safety Week. “It’s to create a situation so that they know what to do if they fall in with their clothes on, and they have the skills to save themselves,” Jump Swim Schools’ Geelong West manager Tina Ridgeway said. “They could be on a boat, near a pool on holidays or near a stream or lake while camping.” So why pyjamas? “It’s probably the easiest thing for parents to get their kids to chuck on,” Tina said.

“You don’t want to go and ruin good clothes in chlorinated water. It can also be clothes that have seen better days. “So long as it’s something they’re wearing that mimics the weight of that extra clothing.” Jump Swim School chief executive Mark Collins said simply learning to swim was not enough as “real water safety” requires the ability to be able to swim fully-clothed in varying circumstances. “Water accidents don’t always happen when children are in their swimmers,” he said. “It’s critical to have core swimming skills … but falling into the water and having the

confidence to handle the situation is much different to an organised swimming lesson. “We want to ensure kids have swimming skills but also the coping mechanisms, familiarity and key responses needed should they ever find themselves in a dangerous situation in the water.” Royal Life Saving Australia statistics show that swimmers account for only a quarter of drowning deaths. The majority are victims accidentally falling into pools and waterways, being washed off rocks and falling from boats.

More than 700 people have joined a campaign to stop a “bulldozer driving through” a 155-year-old bluestone cottage in Marshall, according to organisers. Time is running out for the historic landmark with Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) to begin duplicating Barwon Heads Road in a few months. The first stage of the duplication includes demolishing the McAteer cottage, which has stood at the intersection of Barwon Heads and Tannery roads since 1866. “We certainly don’t want to halt the much-needed duplication of the busy Barwon Heads Road,” Bluestone Cottage Community Group president Virginia Johnson said. “But we believe there’s room for sensible compromise, and that MRPV and its minister should respect the large groundswell of supporters who want to save a unique remnant of Geelong’s local heritage.” The group proposed relocating the cottage to nearby land and suggested a variety of community uses for it. Three Geelong council heritage studies recognised the cottage as “significant”. But MRPV said the cottage is not included on the Victorian Heritage Register or any Greater Geelong Planning Scheme heritage overlay. The authority asserts that the condition of cottage’s roof, floor timbers and internal brickwork prevent a relocation that maintains its integrity. MRPV program director Tim Price earlier this year said the authority would work with council to honour the cottage’s history. Details: marshallbluestonecottage.org Luke Voogt

State cans Bells Beach walkway By Luke Voogt A controversial proposed elevated walkway at Bells Beach has been rejected in a move praised by local community groups. Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio on Wednesday announced the approval of a new Bells Beach management plan, effectively scrapping Surf Coast Shire’s proposed elevated walkway. Surfrider Foundation praised the rejection of the walkway, labelling the initial proposal “stupid”. “This is fantastic news,” the foundation

said in a statement online. “A massive thanks to everyone who signed a petition or wrote a submission. A great win for Bells Beach and the environment.” The Greater Torquay Alliance also praised the minister’s “very astute decision”. “A big thanks to everyone … who told the council and the state government panel that this platform was a bad idea,” the alliance said in statement. Following community outcry over the proposal, Ms D’Ambrosio referred it to a state-appointment advisory committee in August 2020

On Wednesday, the minister announced she had accepted the committee’s recommendation of “no pressing or overwhelming need for a permanent elevated platform”. “I have approved the Bells Beach Surfing Recreation Reserve Coastal and Marine Management Plan, subject to the removal of the proposed elevated walkway and viewing platform,” she said. The committee found the World Surf League (WSL) was “neutral” about whether a permanent or temporary structure was needed. The Surf Coast Shire is the land manager for the Bells Beach Surfing Recreation Reserve

and will implement the new management plan, according to state government. South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman said the amended plan would protect the natural environment, Indigenous heritage and surfing culture of Bells Beach. “Bells Beach is a national and international icon, is heritage-listed and is a culturallyimportant place for the Wadawurrung People.” Surf Coast Shire environment and development general manager Ransce Salan pointed out that council, in November 2019, deferred a “final decision” on the walkaway “to enable further community consultation”.

A blooming good day Geelong florists are gearing up for Mother’s Day after Victoria’s snap-lockdown put a dampener on their other big calendar date – Valentine’s Day. “It’s definitely gearing up to be a busy one,” said Alard Pett, co-owner of Geelong West florist Mr Collins. While the temporary lockdown and COVID-19 restrictions last year impacted some Geelong florists, Mr Collins still did quite well with online orders, according to Mr Pett. “If anything, it was an increase on previous years,” he said. “Last year really brought out a lot of gift-giving and wanting to do something special for mum, because people couldn’t see each other in-person. “It was good that we could do that for people that wanted to celebrate.

“That’s where we saw a major boom, which is carrying on this year.” But unlike last Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day 2020, more people were purchasing chrysanthemums – the traditional flower for the occasion – and other bouquets in person this week, Mr Pett said. “It’s been fantastic to welcome people back into the store. “People are doing pre-orders to grab themselves, rather than to deliver, which is nice to see. “Although we’re still fairly mental on the deliveries – we’ve had a real rush on potted plants.” Luke Voogt Erin Dridan, Alard Pett and Leanna Palosi at Mr Collins.

Viva Energy’s Gas Terminal Project Viva Energy is seeking approval to develop a new Gas Terminal at the Geelong Refinery. The Gas Terminal will bring in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) by ship to boost natural gas supply in South East Australia ahead of projected shortages. The gas terminal is at the centre of Viva Energy’s plan to transform the Geelong Refinery into a visionary Energy Hub to support Victoria’s evolving energy needs. We have commenced the formal reviews and studies for the Gas Terminal through the Environmental Effects Statement (EES) process. The EES is a rigorous assessment to identify potential impacts of the project on the local community and the environment.

Comment on the draft scoping requirements of our EES The EES is a comprehensive process overseen by the Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning that will consider topics such as the marine environment and water; waste; biodiversity; energy efficiency; security; affordability and safety; cultural heritage; social; economic; amenity and land use. The draft scoping requirements set out the matters to be investigated and documented in the EES and will be available for public comment from 26 April 2021 until midnight on 17 May 2021. https://www.planning.vic.gov.au/ environment-assessment/browse-projects

Program leads to ongoing jobs By Luke Voogt Seven of 185 temporary employees have secured ongoing work with Geelong council so far in a state government jobs program. Another 83 of the temporary employees are still working at council through the Working for Victoria initiative, with the last of these roles concluding on June 11. “We know of several Working for Victoria employees who have secured employment elsewhere,” council’s strategy, people and performance director Kaarina Phyland said.

Although Ms Phyland was unable to say exactly how many had found work elsewhere. “We have not conducted surveys to capture more data at this time,” she said. From November 12, 2020 to April 29, 2021, the program’s graffiti team removed 4500 square metres of graffiti from buildings, fences, light posts and footpaths in 902 separate jobs, according to council. Geelong’s Working for Victoria employees processed 3231 refunds and fee waivers, which council introduced through its economic and community support packages.

The temporary employees also continued Meals on Wheels services during the toughest COVID-19 lockdowns, conducted daily sanitisation around Geelong and inspected up to 1500 residential bins per day. A 25-person maintenance team cleaned and refurbished parks, while an asset management team audited about 200,000 public assets, including more than 20,000 kilometres of footpaths. The audit will inform council’s capital works program in 2021-22 and coming years, according to City Hall. The majority of workers hired on six-month

contracts through the $500 million statewide program, beginning in August, were new employees. The remainder were existing employees redeployed to other roles. “Not only did it allow us to provide ongoing work for our own employees affected by the facility shutdowns, but it meant we could bring onboard more than 160 new workers,” Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher said. “This allowed us to support our community by meeting the high demand for essential services, introduce COVID-19 specific programs and bring forward work on vital projects.”

Fighting the good fight Breast cancer survivor Marketta Macdonald is hardly the type to let a “crazy” fortnight stop her from running in the Geelong Mother’s Day Classic. On Tuesday the Armstrong Creek mother had to take her five-year-old son, who had a lung removed at six-weeks-old due to a rare lung condition, to hospital. The week before, her husband had his appendix removed and her mother fractured her foot while walking their dog, after travelling to Geelong to help them out. “It’s been crazy,” Marketta said. “I’ve had to juggle my priorities.” Her son is now recovering, after a bout of croup, and Marketta plans to don pink, either at the Geelong Mother’s Day Classic itself or remotely on a five kilometre walk. “I still anticipate chucking on my T-shirt, wherever I am, and doing it – with family if possible,” she said.

Marketta was diagnosed in January 2018. Surgeons removed two tumours, which had spread to her lymph nodes, and performed a hysterectomy and double mastectomy. She also had chemotherapy. “It’s major surgery, long hardcore treatment and I’m still on medication to try and keep the hormones at bay,” she said. “My children were two and five at the time. “I went to my daughter’s first school assembly, and then I was diagnosed. But my school community were incredible and supportive in helping me.” Marketta hopes to raise money for cancer research through the event. “We need to keep the research going. There are too many who don’t have a good ending.” Details: mothersdayclassic.com.au/ vic-geelong Luke Voogt

MY GEELONG Former Olympic and Commonwealth Games official Richard Lawysz made the Victorian Sport Awards finals recently. The Geelong Athletics Centre interim president speaks to Luke Voogt as he leads the organisation’s COVID-19 recovery.

What has motivated you as an official for 41 years? I love supporting up-and-coming athletes, and helping to shape how athletics competition in Australia changes. I want to pass on knowledge to local, state and national officials to ensure we have some of the best in the world. I’m still involved as a high jump coach and was very fortunate to guide 2016 Olympian Joel Baden through his early involvement in the sport. What are the highlights? I was officiating at women’s pole vault final when Tatiana Gregorieva won a silver medal and when Cathy Freeman won the 400 metres gold at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. I didn’t need to watch the race – I couldn’t while officiating – but I could hear it! There was a wave of sound as they ran. I was privileged and humbled to be an

official at five consecutive Commonwealth Games from 2002 to 2018, along with two world championships. I was a Commonwealth Games baton bearer for Geelong in 2017, I’m a life member of Athletics Australia and I’ve won Official of the Year with them and Vic Sport. My recent nomination for Volunteer of the Year at the Victorian Sport Awards has given me an opportunity to put athletics at the forefront. It recognises our valued officials and club helpers who have put on competitions in a challenging COVID environment. What do you like to do locally? On the weekend you’ll find me walking down Pakington Street to get a coffee at Three Little Figs or on a bike track. For family dinner occasions, you’ll find me at El Toros for pizza. How are you coping with COVID-19? Geelong was very fortunate that council opened Landy Field during COVID-19 with, at times, very stringent COVIDSafe practices, which enabled athletes to train. Local athletes have been great in adapting to the changing COVID-19 landscape. But, all in all, it’s been difficult. We’ve had to learn how to reshape athletics to ensure everyone is safe and, as officials, we had to ensure that we could continue to offer meets to ensure Olympic qualification. We’ve been fortunate that we’ve been able to compete, unlike other countries. What’s something interesting about you that people might not know? I’m a Geelong supporter through and through, and you’ll find me at almost all of the home games – if I’m not officiating at athletics!

Tell us about you… I live in Geelong West, and was born and raised in Geelong to parents who migrated from Poland after World War II. I attended St Joseph’s College where I excelled at athletics, especially sprinting. I studied civil engineering at The Gordon and worked for the then Victorian Railways. I’ve retired but that has only allowed more time for athletics, which is now my full-time interest! I like gardening – although I’m not very good – cycling, spending time with family, travel and, of course, athletics. I first registered as an athlete with St Joseph’s in 1964 and became a technical official in 1980. I have been involved at all levels – local, national and international.

The gardens, on the Victorian Heritage Register since 2006, feature trees dating back to the 1850s. “The first curators were avid plant collectors and many of the splendid trees they planted now have heritage status,” Peggy said. “This means that they are old, rare and have attained impressive size. Many are also beautiful and have botanical and ecological significance.” Peggy is one of the Friends of the Geelong Botanic Gardens volunteers leading the tours on Sunday, for a gold coin donation.

Geelong remembers Frank Costa By Luke Voogt Geelong Football Club has paid tribute to past president, businessman and philanthropist Frank Costa, who died at age 83 on Sunday morning. From humble beginnings selling newspapers at age 11 and taking over his parents’ green grocer as a young man, Mr Costa grew the business into a national produce empire while facing down corruption and threats from Melbourne’s Calabrian mafia. But the man born Francis Aloysius Costa was perhaps best known for his role in saving Geelong Cats from financial ruin. His business success led to an invitation in 1996 to join the board of the club, which was struggling through major financial difficulties. In 1998 the board unanimously elected Mr Costa as president, and he focused on head-hunting Brian Cook, who he later described as “Geelong’s best recruit since 1859”. In a statement on Sunday, Mr Cook remembered Mr Costa and offered his condolences to wife Shirley and their children.

“Frank was a legend as a person, and a legend of the club,” the Cats chief executive said. “He forged so many strong and lasting relationships through his warmth and authenticity. “He will be missed by all that have been fortunate enough to know and love him. Our thoughts are with Shirley, and the entire Costa family.” Mr Costa recently became the club’s 26th legend and was the first non-player to receive the honour. “Without Frank, there must be a genuine question as to whether or not the Geelong Football Club would exist today,” Mr Cook said. “It is highly doubtful it would exist in its current form without having had Frank at the helm. “Frank took on one of the toughest roles in football as our president at a time when the very future of the Geelong Football Club was in the balance. The club was on a financial precipice, playing in a crumbling venue and had not tasted premiership success in 36 years.” But when he departed in 2010, the Cats had

broken the premiership drought, winning two flags in three years, and secured funding for major upgrades at Kardinia Park. “When the history of the club is written, it will be impossible to do so without having Frank at the forefront of the past 20-25 years,” Mr Cook said. “He took a divided club and willed it into the club we know today.” After retiring as president, Mr Costa became the patron of the club and up to two dozen other organisations and charities. He donated considerable amounts to St John of God Hospital, St Mary’s Church, Geelong Community Foundation, Barwon Health Foundation and other causes. Last year the Costa Family donated $2.5 million to Barwon Health Foundation to help establish the Adrian Costa Clinical Trials Centre in honour of Mr Costa’s late older brother. Mr Costa was appointed an officer of the Order of Australia in 2015. Media personalities, the AFL, politicians and Geelong community leaders joined the Cats in paying their respects to Mr Costa this week.

FRIDAY FEATURE

Elsie’s community law legacy Elsie Stokie has helped thousands of disadvantaged locals in 35 years since setting up Barwon Community Legal Service. As Victorian Law Week approaches, she shares her story with Luke Voogt.

arwon Community Legal Service began with a humble typewriter, a photocopier, six reference books and donated furniture in a single-room central Geelong office. But before the service even opened its doors, founding lawyer Elsie Stokie was already helping about 40 locals caught up in a roofing scam that began with an elderly woman’s complaint. A business had approached the woman claiming her roof urgently needed $2000 of work. “Which was a lot of money back then, and she was on an aged pension,” remembered Elsie who, 35 years on, still works at the service. After getting a second opinion, the woman discovered the amount of work needed was closer to $200. “She came to tell us this story, and we thought, ‘this is outrageous’,” Elsie said. “We actually went to the [Geelong] Independent and they put it on the front page with a photo of her.” The article resulted in about 80 people phoning the service, about half of which Elsie represented. “We realised most of them had similar situations,” she said.

‘‘

you get a sense of satisfaction helping

’’

- Elsie Stokie “They were all told, ‘if you don’t get this work done, you’re going to have your roof collapse.’ They were targeting older people because they can’t get on their roof to have a look themselves.” At one stage the company threatened to sue the legal service, but eventually Consumer Affairs prosecuted them for misrepresentation. “Before we even opened, we were threatened with being sued!” Elsie said. “A senior lawyer who I would ring for advice said, ‘you know you’re doing something right when they’re threatening to sue’.” Elsie reckons Geelong had only a handful of female lawyers when she started. She chose the profession after growing up in Leopold and studying at the former Morongo Girls College in Bell Post Hill. “They weren’t doing a whole heap of career guidance in those days and I didn’t want to be a teacher,” she said. “It wasn’t very common for women to be lawyers. A lot of girls from our school became nurses and teachers, only a few became doctors or lawyers. “But a few of my friends were doing law and I thought, ‘that sounds interesting’.” After studying in Melbourne, Elsie worked for a law firm in Sale dealing mostly with vehicle accidents, family law and debt. “In those days you had to get your articles of clerkship,” she said. “It was a bit like an apprenticeship; they would train you for a year and your pay was quite low.” Elsie moved back to Geelong after her father died, and about the same time the state government had allocated new funding to set up Barwon Community Legal Service. “I wanted to get a job and I was not really rapt in all this sitting around at a desk doing paperwork,” she said. But when she discovered she could deal directly with those in need, educate others and be involved in law reform at the newly-funded service, she applied for a job. “I thought wow, ‘this sounds really exciting’,” she said. “Where we found things that weren’t working, we could write submissions to get the laws changed.” With just a part-time administer helping her, and only months after becoming a lawyer, she set up the organisation and recruited other lawyers to volunteer for its after-hours service.

“It was a pretty exciting learning curve. We had a ball setting it up,” Elsie said. “We didn’t actually have a premises at the time, but Legal Aid let us use an office and their interview and meeting rooms. “We were doing everything as cheaply as we could because there wasn’t a great deal of money.” The service’s office officially opened a few months later in a single-room alongside other businesses in a converted former warehouse in central Geelong. “When we started we only had a typewriter – they were just bringing in computers,” Elsie said. “After our first year we got our first Apple Mac, which was magic.” The service took on 202 clients in its first year, 228 the next and 283 in the third, stretching Elsie and her colleague to capacity. Elsie looked after the service’s finances and often took home cases to work on them, or travelled to Melbourne to research legislation due to Geelong’s limited legal libraries at the time. “We got busier and busier – I worked to all hours for years,” she said. They also put together an “easy-to-read” family law booklet for locals. “Now all you have to do is Google search and there are pages and pages of information about everything, but in those days there was

nothing,” Elsie said. “We distributed about 10,000 in a few months – they went like hot cakes.” After receiving funding for more lawyers in 1989, the service began to take on more child support cases. Elsie remembered helping a man at risk of losing his home in the late ’90s The man had initially agreed to pay a certain amount of child support while on a good salary, but fell ill and lost his job, relying on Centrelink for income. The man threw letters from child support authorities in the rubbish and even refused to see Elsie, at first. “He owed $100,000 in child support and late payment penalties, and he really shouldn’t have owed anything at all,” Elsie said. “They will come after people’s assets if they’re owed money. “But he just couldn’t cope with it – every time he thought about it, it was making him ill.” Through persistence Elsie got in touch with the man and eventually obtained a court order, which ultimately allowed him to keep his home. “He basically paid all the money that he had, about $10,000, to have the debt set aside,” she said. On the flip side, Elsie also helped clients owed child support, including one woman whose partner was under-reporting his pay.

“She had to take out small loans or credit cards to pay for her son’s school supplies and fees, some of which she was still paying off,” she said. “He would just make up all these things, even in court, that were untrue. It confused magistrates to no end and we had to go higher.” The matter reached the Federal Circuit Court, where Elsie helped the woman recover about $3500 she was owed. Over the past decade Elsie has focused primarily on elder abuse, while also obtaining family violence intervention orders to help protect women, children and occasionally men. “We’re at Geelong court three days of the week,” she said. The family violence cases range from verbal abuse, to drug-and-alcohol-related violence and threats to harm family members or kill pets. Her elder abuse cases, on the other hand, tend to follow common pattern. “There will be an ageing parent, and an adult child comes back to live with them and seems to take over,” she explained. “They will be controlling and won’t let the family member see their friends, family or go out for activities. “The next thing you know they’re getting them to sign their power of attorney over, or their house, or getting them to make the will more favourable to them. And obviously other family members get really concerned. “It’s difficult enough if they’re of sound mind, and even more complex when they’re not.” Barwon Community Legal Service now has 22 staff, including 11 lawyers. The organisation has since expanded its services into other areas such as Centrelink, fines, disability support and neighbourhood disputes. The last of these will be the topic for the service’s upcoming Victorian Law Week seminar at Rosewall Community Centre, Corio, on May 18, beginning 6pm. Residents can meet Elsie’s lawyer colleagues from the service, Caleb Leitmanis and Peter Dickinson, and learn about the most common neighbourhood disputes, tips to resolve them and how to access free legal assistance. In June, Elsie is set to present another seminar on elder abuse, drawing on her 35 years’ experience as a lawyer. “I’ve really enjoyed it,” she said of her career. “Generally, it’s a pleasure to meet the clients and you get a sense of satisfaction helping them out. You may not always be able to assist them, but you can at least explain why not. “They appreciate that, and can move on with their lives.” For details on the upcoming seminar, phone 5275 7409, email admin@rosewallnc.org.au or visit barwoncommunitylegal.org.au. 11 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 7 May, 2021

ENTERTAINMENT

Audience to decide mother’s fate By Luke Voogt After caring for her father for several months, long-time TV actress Tottie Goldsmith was honoured to throw herself into new Australian drama The Magnolia Tree. “When I first got the script in October 2020, dad was in care,” Goldsmith told the Independent from rehearsals at St Kilda’s Alex Theatre last Friday. “That’s when I first read it and went, ‘oh wow’. I said I would be honoured to do it. “I’ve never done a play that’s so layered, with so many twists and turns, these three characters are so manipulative.” The play tells the story of three siblings faced with the terrible decision of what to do with their mother, who has advanced Alzheimer’s. Goldsmith, the niece of Olivia Newton-John, faced a similar dilemma as a full-time carer for her father as his Parkinson’s disease worsened leading to dementia. “It made me so much more connected to the subject matter,” she said. “I had him with me for months. Being a full-time carer is all-consuming – you have to give up everything.

“It got to the point where my brothers and sisters said to me, ‘you can’t keep doing this Tot’. “The day I put him into care I sobbed for two weeks – the guilt was unbearable – it was like I’d given up a child. “My father passed away on Christmas Eve and he was in a very expensive home. “I was very fortunate with my siblings – I’ve got eight – we all got on the same page. In this

play, the siblings don’t.” The siblings’ dilemma is part of the thrill for the live audience, who get to choose the fate of the mother. “We rehearse two endings,” Goldsmith said. Jack (Ezra Bix), will attempt to talk his sisters into letting their mother go. “The brother is pushing to murder her,” Goldsmith said. The other sister Debbie (Rohana Hayes) argues to move her into an expensive home while Goldsmith’s character Vicky argues for a cheaper alternative. “Maybe my character could get over the line with the cheap home idea, but she doesn’t, because she can’t handle the guilt,” Goldsmith said. This leaves two options: “We give her this concoction and let her drift away, or she lives and we spend this money on caring for her,” Goldsmith said. “Ezra has done the show a couple of times and reckons it’s been about 50:50. “It’s hard to know which one to go with and who to trust. “Often it’s what we’re not saying as characters, it’s what we’re thinking.” The play explores difficult questions with plenty of dark humour, according to Goldsmith.

“Is it fair to let these people drift away?” she said. “Are they really alive inside and are they aware of what’s going on? “It’s like all serious subjects; we need to have a laugh to cope with them. “It’s something that we’re all dealing with, but the play is done with such integrity and it’s wickedly funny.” Goldsmith has been wearing Vicky’s shoes, literally, to get into character. “Navigating a character who is so different to me is an amazing challenge,” she said “I’ve been finding the way she stands, the way she walks and the way she speaks. “She’s tough on the outside and I’m not. She’s angry, bitter and longing for a better life. “Whereas I’m living my better life and I’m not angry or bitter.” Goldsmith was thrilled to return to live theatre for a Victorian tour of The Magnolia Tree, which stops at the Potato Shed, Drysdale, at 8pm on May 14. “I could not be happier – I feel quite at home,” she said from rehearsals. “We’ve spent long enough in our homes watching Netflix and now we need to get out and see real theatre.” Details: geelongaustralia.com.au/potatoshed

Brennan back to serenade Geelong

Torquay musician Rach Brennan is back in central Geelong serenading CBD-goers after a COVID-19 hiatus. The 27-year-old made her return to council’s Music and Street Serenades in the City in March and has another two shows coming up this month. “I’ve been playing these gigs for eight years now,” the indie-folk pop-rocker said, while on holiday in the Daintree Rainforest this week. “It’s a great place to set up and it creates a cool vibe in the city. “Music adds a lot to our town – having it dotted throughout the city is really exciting for everyone.” Brennan entered the musical world as a child following the footsteps of her grandfather Russell Sheridan, a veteran jazz musician. 12 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 7 May, 2021

“He was a big influence,” she said. As early as age 10 she would get up on stage and play songs on the piano – the first instrument she learned – during breaks in her granddad’s sets. “When we were a bit older my brother and I got on stage and jammed with him,” she said. “He’d always call us up to play with him. “Watching him play live, we saw that being a musician was a legitimate career.” The singer-songwriter has performed at Port Fairy Folk Festival and Queenscliff Music Festival, and is perhaps best known for her band Rach Brennan and The Pines. “My brother, who plays in my band, and I have always played together,” she said. But now she is branching out, with the band playing its last gig at Barwon Club on June 5.

“It felt like the end of an era when COVID put a halt to things,” she said. “I just wanted a change – I wanted to change the direction of the sound. It will still sound like me but a different me – a newer me.” Brennan has been busy writing new tracks while teaching year 12 music part-time, and working side-gigs as a PR and booking agent, and teaching song-writing to kids. Last December she released a Christmas song with fellow Geelong muso Tom Stevenson titled All Your Favourite Colours. Initially she scored a gig covering a Christmas classic for Barwon Health Foundation’s 2020 Gala Christmas Album with Stevenson, but they decided to write their own song for the album instead. Locals might have also heard Brennan at one

of her regular cover gigs at Geelong wineries, pubs and bars, or even playing at Moomba Festival when it returned to Melbourne in March. This month she will play a mix of original tracks, with some covers thrown in, when she hits the central Geelong stage at Little Malop Street mall on May 11 and 27. “I spent time growing up in Ireland and my family’s Irish, so I quite like The Cranberries,” she said. Continuing this month, council’s Music and Street Serenades feature a range of bands and artists including Spider Jazz, Levi Anderson, Juliarna and The Heart and Marcus Hayden.

Surf Coast artist Kirsten Walsh’s new “hyper-realistic” mural is ready to be unveiled at a well-known Geelong West pub on Mother’s Day. The award-winning artist completed the mural at Mr Umami’s restaurant, formally the lounge of the Barking Dog, a fortnight ago in time for the occasion. The mural on the restaurant’s rear interior wall depicts a face and pays tribute to umami, meaning “essence of deliciousness” in Japanese and known commonly as the ‘fifth taste’. Foods that have a strong umami flavour include meats, shellfish, fish, tomatoes, mushrooms, cheeses and soy sauce. “I wanted to bring impact to the space and bring out the vibrant atmosphere of the restaurant whilst picking up the theme of incredible taste,” Walsh said.

MONDAY

HACKSAW RIDGE 7MATE, 8.30pm

Andrew Garfield (left) leads this World War II true story of Desmond T. Doss, who won the Congressional Medal of Honor despite refusing to bear arms on religious grounds. Doss was ostracised by fellow soldiers for his stance, but went on to earn respect and adoration for his bravery and selflessness after he risked his life to save 75 men in the Battle of Okinawa. Also starring Sam Worthington and Vince Vaughn, this well-crafted, tale immerses viewers in the violent horrors of war.

SATURDAY

FINDING ALICE ABC TV, 8.20pm

Viewers have been left considering whether to giggle or sob in this offbeat British mystery slash comedy slash drama. It could have easily all gone off the rails, but the unfolding mystery of father and husband Harry’s (Jason Merrells) death after falling down his fancy new staircase has artfully kept viewers guessing – and wondering what his bereaved wife Alice, played by the excellent Keeley Hawes, will do next. In tonight’s season finale, Alice admirably (some might say foolishly) pushes ahead with grand plans while her world cracks. Unsurprisingly, there are more chasms in store, but fans can rest assured that season two is in the works. Phew.

Lifelong partnership creates happy memories Building a life together has provided everlasting memories for Leopold’s Valma and George Dadds. The couple continue to live in their Leopold home with support from a government-funded Home Care Package (HCP) through genU, and their family home represents life, laughter and love. Valma and George knew each other growing up, and their paths crossed again after both gaining employment in Melbourne. “Val would come home to play tennis and visit her Mum, and I came down to get my washing done – a typical helpless male I suppose,” George said. “I played my trump card, I took Val to the ballet which proved to be a masterstroke and we ended up getting married in 1960.” The pair bought a block and built a family home, had children Penny and Rohan, and then built their next family home at their current address. As the years went on, Val could no longer play tennis due to asthma and experienced “a couple of falls”. Valma successfully applied for a HCP, and has received assistance with activities including exercise and social groups, taxi vouchers, gardening and cleaning. She also accesses regular physiotherapy sessions to build up her physical strength, and the package has financed home modifications including hand rails and decking. “To be able to get some support for the things we need is wonderful,” George said. “The house has a lot of maintenance which we pay for, but there’s a lot we don’t have to thanks to the package. And we can’t speak highly enough of genU and the people that work there, they make everything so easy.”

Funerals are changing...

Valma said the help they received means they can continue to live at home in comfort. “We want to sit and watch television together, and go to bed together at night and just be together,” she said. George also receives in home physiotherapy funded through genU’s Aged Service Support For Carers Program. If you are interested in learning more about how a HCP can assist you or a loved one, please call 1300 558 368 or email contact@genu.org.au

Alyson Burchell and Sue Marshman agree that the world is forever changing. Rituals change, trends change, say the pair of funeral directors, adding that what was once expected may not feel relevant anymore, Alyson believes this is particularly true when funeral care is considered. What is the ‘right’ type of funeral, people might ask. As funeral directors who specialise in having these conversations, Alyson and Sue from Tuckers Funerals understand that funerals can be different and meaningful when they reflect the values and wishes of the one whose life is being remembered. “Tuckers have been caring for the community for 138 years and looked after the needs of many generations,” says Alyson, “They’ve met the ever-evolving personal and cultural and religious needs in our Geelong region.” As things change, people begin to ask questions, to find reassurance and to discover how each funeral can be different. Alyson says the type of questions they hear

might include: • How much does a funeral cost? • Do I have to place a death notice in the newspaper? • How can I make sure my wishes are respected? • My parents prepaid their funerals 30 years ago; will we have to pay more money? • Who organises the death certificate? How long does it take to arrive? “Our information sessions, Funeral Planning… where do I start?, held across the Geelong region in May, answer questions, offer obligation-free information about the different options available, and the associated costs. “We also advise about the measures that can be taken to ensure those left behind are supported and protected from the full emotional and financial responsibilities associated with arranging a funeral.” For more information and to register, call 5221 4788 or visit www.tuckers.com.au 12493120-CG19-21

Upwardly mobile Once again, Mark Dillon reminds regional residents that his store, Scooters & Mobility Geelong, is quite literally a one-stop shop for all things mobility and home help aids, and that no one needs to lose their ability to soak in nature, go shopping or visit friends. One great way to get around easily is on one of the store’s lithium-ion-powered scooters. “We have the world’s best – the Freerider Luggie – plus the range of Supa Scootas including the world’s lightest, the Microlite, along with its big brother, the Supalite,” Mark says. “These beauties make transfers from vehicles so much easier, and couldn’t be more perfect for airline travel now that things have opened up. “Along with out portable scooter range we stock brands such as Trek, Merits and now Shoprider. We have a scooter to suit everyones needs and budget and also stock a range of secondhand scooters. We offer the best trade in rates in Geelong so come in and upgrade now!” At any one time, there are more than 20 scooters and powerchairs in stock, including a big range of Afikim mobility scooters – the only brand with a three-year warranty (12 months on battery and charger). The store also has an extensive range of tyres, tubes, batteries, chargers and many spare parts and accessories for all makes and models of

scooters and powerchairs – and “at the region’s best prices”, is Mark’s claim. “Our team can help guide a customer’s choice and, if a purchase is ever in need of repairs, we have our technician Martin Coote to keep everything in good running order.” Think of your mobility and in home help needs and if Mark hasn’t got it, he can get it for you, from walking frames, Rollators, walking canes, shoe horns, dressing aids, pick up reachers and all kinds of seats and chairs to suit everyone’s needs. Scooters and Mobility Geelong can also help with Home Care Packages through your own funding agency, are fully NDIS accredited and are ready to help you with your plan and to achieve your goals – give Mark and the team a call to find out more. As Mark puts it: “We’re all about improving quality of life and wellbeing, helping people to remain mobile and get the most out of living every day.” No-obligation demonstrations and trials are available in-store, as well as in customers’ own homes at any time (day or night).

Rental retirement offers flexibility With only the minority of Australian seniors meeting the recommended level of physical activity, paying closer attention to health and wellbeing when reaching your senior years becomes increasingly important. Maintaining resident independence is a key focus at rental retirement community, Ingenia Gardens Geelong, where residents enjoy free access to a dedicated care co-ordination service. Community Manager Fiona Olin says Ingenia Gardens delivers great value rental options for independent seniors who are looking to downsize to a more manageable space with minimal maintenance or who are simply searching for social connection with like-minded people. “The fundamentals of safety, independence and flexibility are crucial for residents and our unique rental model is ideal for those searching for an alternative to traditional buy-in retirement villages or aged care facilities,” Fiona says. “Our residents love the fact they can come and go as they please, feel safe and secure and feel like they belong to a caring community. “We have so many satisfied residents, who have expressed how reassuring it has been, knowing that there is a Community Manager and a group of neighbours looking out for you. “Our residents are given the opportunity to get involved in community life through our Activate social calendar. They also have the option of having meals in our Community Room with other residents or in the peace and comfort of their own home.” Besides participating in the regular fun activities, residents take advantage of the free care co-ordination service, Ingenia Care. The core focus of Ingenia Care is to connect residents with the assistance they need to

Service front and centre

A leading independent workshop in Geelong, BJT Automotive has established a solid reputation as a reliable and thorough workshop with exceptional customer service. Owner Brett Turley says the high standards they pride themselves on mean they are an excellent alternative to dealership servicing. “We are renowned for our fussiness and attention to detail, and that’s exactly how we like it,” he says. “To ensure our mechanical services are cutting edge and up to date we are constantly refreshing and improving our mechanics’ skills and knowledge.” Personalised service is front and centre at BJT Automotive as well. Brett and his team offer a loan car and courtesy car service and like to get an understanding of each customer and car. “Our mechanics take note and listen. They’re thorough and keep extensive records of each service. This means we’re aware of wear, tear and potential issues. “And regular log book servicing results in a better sale price when it comes time to sell.” Brett says that prices are very competitive, and customers can trust that any parts used will always maintain their new car warranties. He also has some advice for anyone who’s about to buy or sell a car. “We encourage them to talk to us first. We are VicRoads roadworthy testers, able to issue roadworthy certificates, and offer comprehensive pre-purchase car inspections.” As well as tyre fitting, the workshop carries out a range of mechanical services, with Holden, Toyota, Ford, Mazda, Subaru, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Honda, Hyundai, Kia and Suzuki covered.

From minor scratches to full restorations, we have all you need. Paint & panel, detailing & paint protection. Aerosols made instore.

Geelong longboarders dominate By Luke Voogt

4th Brian Thompson (Safety Beach) 7.96

Local longboarders dominated the first round of the state titles in “epic conditions” on their home break at Thirteenth Beach at the weekend. Barwon Head’s Ben Considine took full advantage of the lefts on offer to win the open men’s logger division, posting a near-perfect total of 19.37 in the final on Sunday. “The waves were fun all weekend,” Considine said. “I’m stoked to come out with the win.” Point Lonsdale local Bea Conroy won both the open women’s longboard and logger divisions with scores of 12.33 and 15.6 in the finals respectively. “The conditions were nice,” Conroy said. “I’m stoked that we got some waves.” Geelong and Surf Coast locals won 11 of 15 divisions in round one of the Victorian Longboard Titles in conditions organisers described as “epic”, with two to three foot waves and favourable winds both days.

SPORT Ocean Grove wins tight season opener LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers Tennis Geelong served up the first round of its winter competition with 102 matches across junior and senior divisions at the weekend. After being promoted to Section 1 this season, reigning Section 2 premiers Ocean Grove defeated St Albans in a thrilling three-sets-all season opener. Ocean Grove won three of the first four sets but St Albans clawed back taking the last two to draw level, with just one game separating the teams.

With three tie-breaks and the other three sets decided by two games, the entire match was a tight battle. Two flag favourites, Grovedale and Barwon Heads, met to hit off the season, with Grovedale taking the match four sets to two. The first two sets of the day were split with Grovedale’s Biancea Duff and Jai Bosnjak taking a 6-3 win over Barwon Heads’ Brett Armstrong and new inclusion Jordyn Aitken, while late inclusion Huon Bertino and Mimi Armstrong ran through Grovedale’s Zoe Duff and Jason Schoenmaekers 6-0. The men’s and ladies’ sets were also split with the Duff sisters taking a comfortable

6-2 win for Grovedale, while Bertino continued his good form from the mixed teaming with Brett Armstrong to win, again without dropping a game. With the score at two sets all, both sides were keen to take the advantage in the final two mixed sets and start the season with a win. Barwon Heads took a 4-2 lead in the first reversed mixed match but Bianca Duff and Dave Meehan fought back to take the set 6-4. Grovedale also claimed the last set 6-4 for the win. Section 1 champions from last winter, Newcomb, scored a comfortable five sets to one win over Highton.

Cats out to ‘crack code’ By Luke Voogt Arguably the AFL’s best big-match player, Dustin Martin is set to return for Geelong’s grand final rematch with reigning premiers Richmond. Richmond will welcome back Martin from concussion for tonight’s blockbuster, but has lost captain Trent Cotchin, out with a hamstring injury. Geelong faces a difficult task negating Martin, with tagger Mark O’Connor (hamstring) out and defender Jake Kolodjashnij (knee) unlikely to return. “Jake’s not quite right – he’s still a couple of weeks away,” Cats coach Chris Scott told a press conference on Wednesday. “If you look at the game closely, last time we played them [in the 2020 grand final], Kolodjashnij – and this happens with Martin a lot – you do a great job eight of 10 times. “It’s the two out of 10 when he just slaughters you, [which is] hard for anyone to stop.” Brandan Parfitt, who has stood out for Geelong this season with his tackling and defensive pressure in the midfield, could form part of Geelong’s plan to nullify Martin. 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 7 May, 2021

Scott said execution was the key to negating the pressure and surge style of the AFL’s “benchmark” team tonight. “Most times we’ve played them we’ve had a really good look,” Scott said. “There are some parts that we look at when we get the game on our terms; the next part is how do we make sure we finish the job.” Richmond has won six of its past seven games against Geelong, including comebacks in the 2019 preliminary final and 2020 grand final. Although the Cats scored a 67-point win over the Tigers at the MCG last June. “They’ve just been too good for us in subsequent meetings, but not for 100 per cent of the game,” Scott said. “The planning is actually relatively easy against Richmond and it tends to be against the best sides. “There aren’t too many secrets there, everyone knows the way Martin plays, everyone knows the way they set up – they’ve done it so well for four years. “How you actually go about trying to mitigate that and playing to your strengths is a bit of a question. “But even [that] pales into insignificance

compared to the actual execution on the night. “They’re clearly still the benchmark, even with some important players out, and they’ve been able to show that their system stands up. “We will try some different things, there is no doubt about that. “We have taken some calibrated shots at them but haven’t quite locked on the target right at the moment but that is part of the code we are trying to crack.” Cotchin joins premiership players Dylan Grimes, Kane Lambert and Dion Prestia on the Tigers’ injury list. For Geelong, Shaun Higgins could possibly return from finger and hamstring injuries as a replacement for small forward Gryan Miers, out with a fractured leg. The Cats will don black armbands in honour of club legend Frank Costa, who died last Sunday. Scott paid tribute to the former club president, and his legacy of integrity and valuing “character over talent”. “I think it says something that Frank hasn’t been our president for over 10 years, but he’s still so central to everything that we like about the Geelong footy club and the Geelong region.”

Big winter snapper continue to bite in the outer harbour for patient anglers fishing after dark. Use pilchard or fresh-caught squid fished as light as the conditions will allow, as the winter fish are notoriously fussy. Gummy shark and flathead can be expected as by-catch. The inner harbour is fishing very well for smaller snapper/pinkies for both bait and lure anglers. Land-based around the waterfront, including off the new Wangim Walk Pier, has seen snapper to 55cm caught this week. Big schools of salmon are also cruising along the waterfront from North Shore to Stingaree Bay with the occasional bust-up occurring allowing anglers to cast lures into the action and catch fish to 40cm. St Leonards pier has produced the goods this week with gummy shark and elephant sharks being caught in decent numbers – one angler reports catching a gummy and three elephant sharks in a single session while using squid for bait. Queenscliff Harbour or ‘the cut’ has seen big silver trevally caught by anglers casting soft plastics around the slack tide. The classic 4 inch Gulp Turtleback worm in pumpkin green fleck colour is a proven favourite that will also pick up a pinkie snapper if they happen to be present on the day. The freshwater fishing across the state has been fantastic as the temperature cools down. Wurdi Buloc Res has produced redfin to 45cm for anglers casting lures of a late afternoon. Those keen enough to be at the water’s edge for first light could be rewarded with trophy-size trout that the lake is known for this time of year. Upper Stoney Creek Res, just out of Anakie, is reportedly fishing well too with redfin caught on scrub worms, yabbies and Bob’n’spoon lures cast off the rock wall. Trout are also being caught and fly fishing the lake has proved effective lately in a morning or afternoon when the fish are feeding over shallow water near reeds and weed beds.
