Reserve fire fears Concerned resident: Bob Potter.

RESIDENTS in Ocean Grove are calling for faster action and more resources to be put into managing the Nature Reserve’s fire risk.

Problems highlighted during the recent Victorian bushfires have re-ignited the debate and renewed calls for action.

According to the town’s Community Association, it approached various authorities about the Nature Reserve back in 2007 and was assured that everything was in hand and that cool burning would take place.

Community Association member Jo Hawthorne said that with the recent bushfires “quite a few people around town were concerned and talking about the Nature Reserve again”.

The issue will be discussed at a meeting tonight (Wednesday) at Ocean Grove Fire Station from 7.30pm.

Among the concerned residents is Bob Potter.

Mr Potter contacted the Voice after he says he was passed between agencies and failed to get an answer. He believes the issue needs to be tackled immediately.

“If there is a fire danger then surely that takes precedence over protocols. If something happened next week we are in trouble.

“It there was a fire there tomorrow it’s not being solved by a three-year plan.”

Parks Victoria Ranger Stuart Willsher told the Voice that he would be putting a submission to the Department of Sustainability and Environment to make a prescribed burn off program a

priority in the next 3-year Fire Operations Plan.

While Mr Willsher agreed that the Reserve posed a risk, he said that a lot of work had already been done to reduce fuel loads on the forest floor and more would be done to ensure future burn offs, carried out by the DSE would be more successful.

One of the problems with previous burns is they have simply cleaned up small debris and have not touched larger materials off the ground.

Last year Parks Victoria employed teams of Conservation Volunteers and Drought Relief workers to physically remove fallen branches which were burned in the paddock between the Reserve and the reservoir. They have also been dropping elevated deadwood to ensure it burns during the next prescribed burn.

Mr Willsher said that the approach is to balance ecological and fire protection measures that protect the rare stretch of native bushland.

While progress had been made in enlarging the southern fire break (adjoining the Woodlands Estate), he is also working to return the dense woodland to how it used to be.

Originally the eastern half of the reserve would have been more open with views of at least 200 metres.

By thinning it out, mulching and using other mechanical means, the reserve is already showing signs of a re-emergence of species.

Harriers 25th pub to pub

AS MC extraordinaire or some would say extortionary MC, Phil Emery, would say - the annual Pub to Pub is unique.

The only organised running event that follows an easterly direction at low tide, crossing a bridge, between two pubs and after 6pm on a Wednesday night.

That just about sums up this happy band of sprinters, runners, joggers and limpers that goes by the name of the Hangover Harriers.

It’s a free running group that trots from the Dunes to 13th Beach and back every Saturday morning at 7am - before tucking into latte and fruit toast.

This special 25th anniversary run between Barwon Heads Pub and the Ocean Grove Hotel was won by the Voice’s Alan Barber on his first pub to pub. Actually, that’s a lie, but he was there and completed the low tide canter to Collendina.

The Ocean Grove Hotel, as usual, looked after the runners on their return.

False dawn for site

ALERT Voice readers made sure we knew about the appearance of a worker at the dormant Target site last week.

On hearing the news we trekked down to the see what was gong on.

There we found a man inside the fenced off compound collecting up sections of timber.

Asked if he was from DZINE, the building firm that is fighting to take over the site from the previous developers, he replied “yes”.

Asked if this was the start of work and whether others would soon be joining him on the site and he declined to comment and continued tidying the site.

Based on that evidence it’s probably not time to stop the ‘no action’ clock just yet.

a day in the life - geoff elgin

“Doesn’t get much better than this” I HAVE lived in Ocean Grove since 1978 after purchasing Paxton Press Printer in 1977. In those days we operated in the main street at the “Arcade”, where the Coles Bottle Shop is now. We moved into our present building in Smithton Grove, Christmas 1984, where I have operated since.

Since taking on Paxton Press as the sole proprietor, I have had my daughter, Shelley, work alongside me as the Graphic Designer. For the past 18 months, she has been working for a company in Darwin and has learnt new and exciting techniques thereby bringing a new concept to Paxton Press.

We have also expanded the business over the past few years, introducing Digital Printing and a more quick and efficient service. I am very excited about what the future ahead holds and what new concepts we can bring to our customers.

Born and Educated in Burnley, Lancashire ENGLAND, I left those sunny shores and headed for Canada, where I lived for 18 months.

Over there I met my wife, Fay who is Australian and after a whirlwind romance, married and migrated to Australia in 1975 and had two kids; Luke and Shelley.

My first memories of Ocean Grove

was when my wife, Fay and I met up with one of her friends and had fish and chips and a walk on the beach. I thought...“it doesn’t get much better than this” ... with the great views and warm weather.

Over the years I have been involved with Apex Club of Ocean Grove where we met - and still do have - lifelong friends through the organisation.

Following that, Cub Scouts after my son joining, needed leaders, which lasted nine years. I then became a member of the Ocean Grove Baptist Church, which is still going.

With work and family commitments, I have no outside passions away from work, although in the near future I would like to travel around Australia, take up golf again and have a bit more time for doing nothing.

I wouldn’t want to change anything about Ocean Grove, I love it as it is. The best things about it are the lack of traffic, the convenience of everything being so close, the beaches, little pollution and a happy friendly community.

If I wasn’t situated in Ocean Grove, I would be traveling all around Australia. It has been one of my desires to go to the outback and see the many wonders you don’t get to see in Victoria.

Thanks for the pool The Bellarine Aquatic Centre has now been opened for 3 months and many people (residents and visitors) have had the opportunity to use this facility.

The response from people is that it is a magnificent community asset that has many attributes which will be well used by all on the Bellarine Peninsula for many years.

The OGCA would like to thank all those involved in the successful implimentation of the project and specifically Cr Jan Farrell, Cr John

Mitchell and Lisa Neville, together with the council recreational staff.

Also at our November 2008 Community Forum at which Cr Jan Farrell was the guest speaker, the issue of installing a safety barrier for the new skate park was raised. Cr Farrell acted on this issue quickly resulting in a very aesthetically pleasing timber safety barrier being installed within 4 weeks.

This is much appreciated and now provides a safer environment for the Skate Park users.

It’s a moth not a butterfly

A MOTH is an insect that is closely related to the butterfly. Most species of moths are nocturnal (active during the night) or crepuscular (active at dawn or at dusk).

The study of butterflies and moths is known as lepidoptery.

The differences between butterflies and moths are as follows: -Butterflies have thin, slender antennae, where as moths have feathery antennae -The wings are different shapes, and moths have a an extra lobe on the forewing -The moth caterpillars spin a cocoon made of silk in which they change into a moth (called metamorphosis), where as butterflies form an exposed

pupa (known as chrysalis) -Most butterflies have bright coloured wings, where as moths are plain brown, grey or white.

The moths are better camouflaged due to their dull colours -Moths tend to have bigger, furrier bodies than butterflies -Butterflies tend to be diurnal where as moths are nocturnal -Moths will usually rest with their wings outspread to the sides (see picture) where as butterflies usually rest with their wings folded upwards The life cycle of a moth is as follows: Moths (like butterflies) begin as an egg laid on a plant in clusters. The eggs take about a week to hatch into caterpillars. As the caterpillar grows it sheds its skin to permit growth, and this can happen five to ten times.

The caterpillar may change in appearance and colour with each shedding of the skin. Once the caterpillar is fully grown it spins a cocoon made of silk and leaves. Moths will remain inside the cocoon and metamorphose for a few days or even up to a few months, depending on the species.

The moth will emerge from the cocoon and take flight, and usually they will live for two weeks to two months as a flying moth.

TEN IN A ROW

GREAT GROVE OCEAN Grove Surf Lifesaving Club claimed their 10th consecutive club title at the 2009 Victorian Lifesaving Championships on the home soil of Main Beach.

With a team of over 60 competitors and in front of a large supportive crowd, the club proved too powerful in a number of events across the twoday Championships.

In rough conditions and less than perfect weather, over 950 lifesavers vied for a podium finish and the thrill of championship glory.

However, the weekend belonged to Grove as they dominated in the surf, taking out the most anticipated events of the Championships the Open Women’s Iron, Open Men’s Iron and Open Men’s Taplin Relay.

It was a matter of team rivalry between two Ocean Grove lifesavers Casee Honan and Harriet Brown in the Open Women’s Iron event. Side by side the whole way, it was Casee who rode the best wave home on her way to a triumphant win.

Blitzing the field in the Open Men’s Iron was Ocean Grove SLSC competitor Mark Graham.

Winning this event a couple of times throughout the season, it was one of Mark’s goals to take home the major title.

For many competitors this was the last chance to pit themselves against the best the state has to offer before they jet to the 2009 Where Is® Australian Surf Life Saving Championships held WA from Tuesday next week.

Jack of all shades

GATTO is generally a name you learn to remember in Melbourne.

That stands true with a young 17-year-old singer who has been making an impression at one local night spot.

Honorary local muso Jack Gatto has been wooing the Nectar Bar audience for about eight months. Solidly for six weeks over Christmas.

Hard to believe the guy only started teaching himself to play chords less than two years ago.

But an edgy charismatic personality and a bag of self-confidence could take him just a little further down the track.

As well as regular spots at the Grove Nectar Bar he’s also been playing at charity events particularly in the Pascoe Vale area.

But he’s brave. This year though he’s planning to have a crack at Australian Idol. He’s certainly got the get-up-and-have-a-go attitude.

Jack discovered the Grove and the Nectar Bar through his stepdad Malcolm Brown who lives here. It seems the Grove may also have discovered him.

Check out his music on www.myspace.com/ jackadamgatto

Have you tightened your belt as a result of the global financial situation?

By Clive Whitworth

Tracey Dewit, cleaner, 38, of Leopold, said: “Definitely. I’m struggling to keep up with the bills, I still have enough work, but prices are going up and up.”

Kathy Major, mum of five, 37 of Ocean Grove said: “No. I can’t tighten my belt any more, it’s always hard and I haven’t really noticed.”

Gordon Macleod, fitness professional, 50 of Ocean Grove, said: “Yes. I think everyone is really. I am thinking about things like delaying holidays to give me more time to save.”

Lyndon Raybould, 25, singer, of Melbourne and regular Ocean Grover, said: “ Yes, definitely. I tend to think about things more before I buy now much more so that a few months ago.”

Belinda Warren, sales assistant, 32, of Moolap, said: “Yes. I look for bargains, that is why I am here, because the school uniform shop here is so cheap.

I also use my Entertainment discount book if I want to go out to eat now.”

Retiree Bob Wheeler of Ocean Grove said: “I haven’t changed anything really; you have to be careful on a pension. I am involved with the footy club; do a bit of fishing. A pretty simple life really, and it hasn’t changed much.”

Rory Nicol and his daughter Charli.

Top job in top town for Rory RSN Roofing is a relatively new business run by Rory Nicol.

Rory has been in the roofing industry for 16 years and has a broad knowledge of roofing to meet his customers needs.

The business will cover all types of roof repairs as well as replacing roofs, new tile roofs and roof extensions.

Amongst other services, demossing, cleaning and painting, as well as rebedding and flexible pointing are available.

Rory was brought up in Geelong and moved to Ocean Grove when he was 17 after attending James Harrison College. He played football in Ocean Grove, St Albans and Lake Bolac and is

currently the assistant coach of the under 18’s in Ocean Grove.

He loves the idea of being able to work in and around the same town as where he lives and enjoys watching the footie and going to the beach with his daughter Charli, who will be 5 in April.

His business has started well and he is pretty busy. As he covers a variety of roofing areas, there is always plenty of work. Rory would like to establish a strong customer base on the Bellarine Peninsular, as well as to grow his business into a household name where people are familiar with who he is and what he does.

Further down the track he would like to employ an apprentice. He’s also interested in being

able to sponsor the local football club.

He loves living in Ocean Grove because it is away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities, although close enough to Geelong or Melbourne if need be.

“It’s also an excellent spot to raise children with the excellent schooling facilities and beautiful beaches,” he said.

Grove at the Masters Games

The Gold medal winning women’s Australian All Stars soccer team featured Ocean Grove players and the coach.

Grovers go it OCEAN Grove sportsmen and women got in the thick of the action at the recent Australian Masters Games in Geelong.

Admittedly many of the participants have never stopped pulling on a jumper or swimming, weightlifting or cycling.

But you don’t often get the chance to compete on a national stage against evenly matched ages.

Some competitors went with local teams, others went as individuals, while some, like the women’s soccer players, couldn’t find a local side and helped form a nation squad.

Local player Cath Sattler was so determined to

play in the competition that she joined the Australian All Stars. The team, which had players from as far as Sydney, Darwin and Queensland, went on to win the gold medal in the final against MG Force.

The side was coached by Cathy’s other half Andy and also featured fellow Ocean Grover Helen Jacob.

Have we missed you out? If you were involved in the Masters Games and would like to be included in a future edition of the Voice contact news@oceangrove.com

Boroughcoutas swimmers Lauris Tyrrell, Mike Nicol and Anne Gilroy enjoyed a sensational medalwinning Masters Games in Geelong.

Ocean Grove Classic winning rink of Ken Thomas (Ocean Grove, also pictured right), Todd Simmons, Russell Simmonds and Matt Flapper.

Finals rolling out

Pictured is Rhys Jeffs and Jack Plunket of the Geelong Giants flanking two representatives from the Victorian Intellectually Disabled squad.

IT’S been a big season at the Grove Bowling Club and members are hoping it gets bigger. At the time of writing, the men’s division has 6 out of 7 teams participating in the first round of finals.

The Ladies top 2 sides are also preparing to fight it out with Queenscliff and Clifton Springs for this years flag, hopefully we will have an all Ocean Grove final.

The past month has been a busy one for the club, with the Australian Masters Games, Junior Development verses the Victorian Intellectually Disabled squad and the Ocean Grove Classic Fours. The Classic was once again a huge success with many of the states top bowlers in action. The winning team consisted of the Grove’s Ken Thomas along with state bowlers Todd Simmons, Matt Flapper and Russell Simmonds. The runners up team also had a Grove rep in Gary Burkett who played third to Eric Spence with Tom Warren and John Walters. Our Ocean Grove side of Peter Patterson, Ron Brown, John McConville and Chris Deppeler performed very well taking some big scalps along the way to finish eleventh of the 36 strong field.

Last Sunday the Club hosted the Victorian Intellectually Disabled squad and the Geelong District Junior Development squad, the Geelong Giants.

All players and spectators had an enjoyable day and it was great to see the respect shown by both groups. The Club provided a BBQ Lunch through the generous sponsorship of Peter and Maris Williams.

Congratulations to Brenda Anderson, Pat Virtue, Lorraine Jackson and Maree Hughes who were Runners Up in the State Fours recently.

Good Luck to all Grove Bowlers who are participating in finals.
