David’s happy ending Richard Course of Mainly BMX presents David Sheehan with his prize bike.

FREE FORTNIGHTLY

LUCK of the draw has given an Ocean Grove boy a happy ending. Eleven-year-old David Sheehan had his treasured BMX bike stolen from an Ocean Grove house on March 26. Despite numerous appeals the bike was not returned. But out of the blue last month,

the Surfside Primary School student was told he had won a brand new Pilgrim bike from Mainly BMX in Geelong. David’s mum Toni said they were thrilled to find out they had won the competition they entered when they bought the original bike in December last year.

“He’s over the moon, he hasn’t been off it since he got it, even in the cold, he eats, breathes and sleeps the bike,” she said. Toni said she wanted to thank all the people who offered their help after the theft: “I’m just so grateful for the support of the community,” she said.

THEFT MISERY

AN 11 year old boy has had his Christmas present stolen in a brazen, overnight theft. David Sheehan was staying at a friend’s house on Saturday, March 26, and woke up to find his treasured BMX bike had been taken from the driveway. People at the house in Aldebaran Road believe the bike was stolen between 11pm on the Saturday night and 8.45am on Sunday morning. David’s mother, Toni, said she was devastated when she was told about the theft. To make matters worse it is an important mode of transport for the youngster. “He rides it to school and home from school every day, to the skate park and to Barwon Heads,” she said. “Whoever stole it knew it was a kids’ bike. “I would rather it have been my car or the TV, but this was his bike.” The bike is a BMX, MirraCo Essex, commonly used for tricks on ramps and at skate parks. Toni has been unable to work for more than a month and cannot afford to buy David a replacement bike. “I’m currently borrowing my mum’s car so that bike was (David’s) only transportation,” she said. Residents in the area should call Bellarine police immediately if they know the whereabouts of the bike or its parts, or simply have information about the theft itself. “I hope whoever did this sees the photos around the town and is reminded of what they did, this was a kid’s bike.”

Best big Garden Centre

VAN Loon’s Nursery is Australia’s Best Large Garden Centre for 2011. The Wallington garden centre received the accolade at the Nursery and Garden Industry Australia Awards at Crown last Friday night. The awards recognise excellence within the nursery and garden industry and acknowledge industry leaders that strive to achieve best business practice. After winning the Victorian award for the Best Large Garden Centre in November, Van Loon’s Nursery was judged by a national judge in February. “This award is very special for us as it recognises the hard work of our team to run a successful business,” said Loretta Hart. “Winning it a second year in a row gives us a great sense of achievement and satisfaction.” In accepting the award on Friday night Matt Hart paid tribute to their staff and customers. He acknowledged how “pleasant it was to come to work when you are surrounded with great people in a great environment”. They plan to celebrate with a dinner for the staff and a few special events planned for their customers. NOT HAPPY: David Sheehan is gutted after having his treasured BMX bike stolen.

Contactors legally cut down trees on Presidents Avenue property last week - but residents are shocked that it was allowed.

LOCAL residents are outraged at the removal of established trees in Ocean Grove. Several large trees at the Karingal Community Living site on the corner of Dare Street and Presidents Avenue were suddenly cut down last week without consultation with the community. After the 2009 Victorian bushfires, the Victorian

government declared certain areas of the state bushfire prone and therefore subject to new legislation in bushfire prevention. Ocean Grove was deemed an at-risk area for bushfires and, as a result, falls into Department

of Planning and Community Development interim measures for bushfire protection that are valid from September 2009 until March 2012. The legislation overrides any need for local council permits that would usually be required for the removal of established vegetation. Continued page 2

Residents’ tree lop fury Continued from page 1. Neighbouring resident Robyn, who asked for her surname to be withheld, said she was extremely disappointed about how the trees were lopped without any consultation with the local community. “I was disappointed there was no discussion with the neighbours. The piece of legislation does talk about consultation with neighbours but it was disappointing there was none,” she said. Robyn said over ten well established trees over two storeys high were removed from the Karingal accommodation site and its adjacent empty block. “I think it’s

inappropriate they’re relying on an interim measure that’s only valid until March 2012 that makes it legal to take that action,” she said. “I believe (Karingal) had an element of choice in the matter and they’ve chosen that course of action.” A Dare Street resident who did not wish to be named said he was also angered after seeing the trees being removed. “As I left home for work (Tuesday) morning I heard the chainsaws and the wood-chipper and you know then it isn’t going to be good,” he said. The resident said he couldn’t believe the

at-risk bushfire area stretched all the way to Dare Street. “It’s just bureaucracy gone mad, Ocean Grove as a bushfire prone area, really?” he said. Karingal Facilities Manger, Stuart Jarrett said that Karingal Ocean Grove received funding from the state government’s Department of Human Services. “As part of the requirements of the State Government and DHS, we’re obligated to make the property bushfire safe,” he said. Stuart said they were required by law to follow state government’s bushfire regulations,

the same for every DHS funded property in bushfire prone areas. “One of which is vegetation over one metre high within ten metres of the property must be removed,” he said. “Nobody likes to see trees removed but it’s a legal requirement.” A Geelong City Council spokesperson said the legislation overrode any council permit procedures. “A Significant Vegetation Overlay was in place for this part of Ocean Grove, but legislated measures for bushfire protection had the effect of overriding the overlay.”

Community coupling OCEAN Grove residents can now feel even safer thanks to a much-needed upgrade to the local fire brigade’s firefighting equipment. Ocean Grove Fire Brigade was one of six local organisations to share in more than $13,000 allocated through the Ocean Grove Community Enterprise (OGCE) in May. The brigade received $3000 towards a Storz coupling project which helps make connecting hoses to hydrants much quicker than with traditional threaded couplings. The brigade’s three trucks, as well as their hydrants and hoses, have now been upgraded thanks to the OGCE funding. Ocean Grove Fire Brigade treasurer Martin Geerings said the upgrade had been identified as a major priority for the year, as other brigades throughout the region were moving over to the Storz connections. He believes Wallington is now the only brigade still using the traditional threaded connections. The new Storz couplings

enable connections to be made with a speedy click rather than several turns required using the old connections. “The beautiful thing is that the hose just clicks on, meaning a 30 or 40 second saving, and when you’re looking at saving a house that can mean all the difference,” Mr Geerings said.

“We’re grateful to the Ocean Grove Community Enterprise for giving us the opportunity to put in for the grant. This makes a big difference to our ability to fight fires and keep the town safe,” he said. Owned and operated by the residents, Ocean Grove Community

Enterprise has been handing out cash grants to local groups since 2008. Over the past two years, the organisation has distributed $38,800 to the Ocean Grove community. Other local groups to receive funding allocations in May include the Ocean Grove’s Men’s Shed, Ocean Grove Tri Inc, Ocean Grove Uniting Church, Ocean Grove Art Network and Ocean Grove Neighbourhood Centre. OGCE raises money through a dividend provided by the Bendigo Bank when customers nominate it as their chosen charity. Funds are also raised when businesses in Ocean Grove choose the Geelong Community Telco as their phone and data provider. This funding pool helps local groups like Ocean Grove Fire Brigade achieve big things in the community. Grants are allocated twice a year. Applications for the next round close September 30, 2011.

quick news Grubb staying single, for now VicRoads has no plans to widen Grubb Road in the near future. Residents worried about traffic flow along the road, with major population growth earmarked for the area, will be pleased to hear that VicRoads has recognised that Grubb Road, between Ocean Grove and the Bellarine Highway, may need to be duplicated at some time in the future, but no time soon. “Land adjacent to the Grubb Road corridor is set aside for this purpose, protecting it from development,” said VicRoads South Western Regional Director Robin Miles. However, he said that at this stage there are no proposals for the widening of Grubb Road. “Any proposals for road improvement projects are dependent on traffic growth and are considered and evaluated on a statewide basis. The upgrade of Grubb Road will be considered in this context,” he said.

Appeal for bible’s return

John Minotti and the empty pulpit bible stand.

A LOCAl church leader is appealing for the return of a treasured bible. The pulpit bible from the Draper Street St Peter’s Anglican Church was taken at the end of May, much to the dismay of parish members. Vicar John Minotti said they were disappointed to find the book missing from the pulpit located at the front of the chapel. “It’s been sitting there for 30 years, it’s never been taken away or moved,” he said. John said the bible would have no commercial value

but is a historical piece of the church. Bound in a dark black/ blue cover, the large book has big writing and contains a set of coloured ribbons. “We read from it every Sunday, and it’s been used for countless funerals and weddings over the years,” he said. The bible itself was donated to the church about 40 years ago by the Skinners, a prominent Ocean Grove family who owned Skinners Corner general store from the 1950s. “If they could return it, there would be no questions asked,” he said.

Police attacked POLICE have slammed the behaviour of teenagers who attacked officers with bottles, cans and other missiles when they attempted to break up a party in Ocean Grove on Saturday night. About a dozen Geelong officers were called as back up after a crowd turned on three officers attempting to arrest the 40 year old house owner. Several officers received minor injuries and a police car windscreen was smashed during the incident in Crane Street, old Ocean Grove. “In excess of 60 people were at a party which was clearly out of control,” said Detective Senior Sergeant Dave McTaggart, who attended the scene. “The female occupant (resident of the house) was arrested and the police were then attacked

by the crowd. “Cans, bottles, metal cricket stumps and a metal bucket were thrown at them. “There were some minor injuries to some of the members and a police vehicle had its windscreen smashed. “This was appalling behaviour by the youths.” Det Snr Sgt McTaggart, who said the partygoers were aged between 14 and 18, called on parents to be more aware of where their children are. “I have grave concerns that parents are not aware of what is happening.” In total, 17 officers from 11 units attended the incident which lasted from 8pm until nearly 10pm. “It was very serious, and could potentially have been much more serious if injuries had

been worse. “The occupant of the house has been interviewed and we intend to apply for a summons for her to appear in court. Det Snr Sgt McTaggart also branded the use of Facebook for invitations as “irresponsible” and partly responsible for the disorder. “My understanding is that the party was advertised on Facebook. That is absolutely irresponsible. The people

running it had no care for the consequences.” Not all residents were affected, with one woman saying she was “gobsmacked” to hear what happened. However, other residents say there have been growing problems stemming from incidents at the house and spilling out into the street. “We are sick of it,” one resident said. We are all pretty happy that the police dealt with it the way they did,” he said.

Pedestrian injured on crossing

AN elderly man suffered head injuries after he was in collision with a van in the centre of Ocean Grove on Thursday afternoon. The man was crossing Hodgson Street at the junction of The Terrace at about 1pm when he was in a collision with the van turning out of the Terrace.

Several locals, including post office and shop staff went to the man’s aid, rendering first aid until paramedics arrived. MICA paramedics and police also attended the incident. Information on the man’s up-to-date condition was not available at the time of going to press.

Coffee comp winners

AN Ocean Grove woman has shown she would kill for a new coffee machine. Tamara Sacchetta won a national Gloria Jean’s competition that required entrants stage a photo with the coffee chain’s new look cups in a ‘Stop the World for Gloria Jean’s’ moment. Tamara said she and her family all got involved to produce the winning photo showing a Policeman assessing a chalk outline of a body holding a Gloria Jean’s coffee cup. ”We thought it was a real stop the world moment, he would literally die for his coffee,” she said. Tamara said they were excited to take part in the competition and immediately set to work to create the perfect photo to submit. “We actually hashed out a whole lot of ideas and got the kids to dress up,” she said. “We then printed out all the photos to pick which one was the best, the one with the body was just one idea we thought up.” Competition entrants had to upload their photos to Facebook where winners of a $1000 Sunbeam coffee machine and grinder were drawn every week. Gloria Jean’s manager, Lisa Porter said she was thrilled to find out one of their regular customers had won. “It’s so nice to see regulars win it,” she said. “Especially in a small town like Ocean Grove, as a national competition, it’s exciting to get a local winner.” Tamara said the win further encourages her passion for shopping locally. “Lisa and Jason have always made us feel welcome; we’re in there almost every day.”

Telco’s confused communications OPTUS has been installing the same technology used by the National Broadband network, in Ocean Grove. However, comments by an Optus spokesperson that the cutting edge fibre-optic cable is being laid to improve the Optus fixed line service for phone and internet seemed to differ from

those of the company doing the work. Sub-contractor Cable Net Industries told the Voice that the work was being done to connect the Optus Moolap mobile-phone tower to the Telstra exchange in Ocean Grove and should improve download speeds on the Optus 3G network.

Grove residents may have seen Cable Net Industries trucks around the town. Residents questioning why money is being spent on the cable upgrade when Optus coverage in Ocean Grove is patchy would be pleased to hear that Optus is investigating locations for new towers.

“Optus is proposing a new mobile tower for Point Lonsdale to further increase communications for residents and businesses of the Bellarine Peninsula,” the Optus spokesperson said. “The tower will play a vital role in the community of delivering mobile services essential for local consumers and businesses.”

CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: Julie Pedler is concerned about the erosion of Ocean Grove’s character; an artist’s impression of the planned property; and previous house as seen from the beach.

Objectors take protest to VCAT By HAMISH BROOKS RESIDENTS are unhappy about a development planned for The Esplanade which they say will erode the seaside character of Ocean Grove. Bob Brownell, Julie Pedler and Stewart Sutherland, among others, are preparing to take their objections to the building at 55 The Esplanade to VCAT in an attempt to protect their views and the feel of the area. They feel that the Significant Landscape Overlay Schedule 7 (SLO7), in place for the past ten years, should have prevented them from having to do so, but also provides a good point from which to build an argument. The SLO7 says the heights of new buildings along the coast from Collendina to the bridge should not exceed 7.5 metres. One of the buildings planned for the vacant block above the dog beach car park will peak at 10.1 metres. Bob and Julie are upset about what such a large building will to do their

views of Ocean Grove’s magnificent stretch of coast. They are equally miffed about what it will do to the feel of the area. “It will stand out like the proverbial sore thumb,” said Bob, whose view of the beach and up towards the heads will be blotted out by the new building. “10 years ago we lobbied council and the state government about planning restrictions to preserve the feel of this bit of coastline. “The result – SLO7 – required an act of parliament to be passed to protect the seaside character of Ocean Grove.” Julie’s house abuts the property on which the houses are to be built and she is unhappy that none of the 30 objections made by residents to the building plans led to modifications. As it is, she stands to lose her view up the beach to Port Phillip heads from inside her house. The new development will also blot out the morning sun, she claims. “They say I still have a view from the balcony, but it’s actually inside where it matters. I don’t use the balcony that much.

Look at the weather today for instance,” she said, pointing to the howling southerly; clouds and rain sweeping up the beach. “This is where everyone gathers and looks up the beach.” Both Julie and Bob were at the development hearings panel meeting at the beginning of June, where a report, perprepared by planning officer Hugh Griffiths, became the decision of the panel with no modifications. The report said that “The application has been assessed against the relevant State and Local planning Policies … the Significant Landscape Overlay Schedule 7 … and is considered to meet the objectives of these policies.” Bob disagrees. “Along with the 7.5-metre height limit, the SLO7 says there should be a maximum of 60 per cent site coverage by a building, but this is overly bulky at 64 per cent. It also says there should be a minimum 30 per cent permeable surface on the blocks for gardens and trees, but this development

will only have 18 per cent. “This doesn’t allow for much plant life to help it blend in with its surrounds and maintain the feel of the area.” Also at stake is Julie’s privacy in her house and garden. She says people in the new houses will be able to look down into her front garden and on to her balcony. Both houses will have lap pools on their second level, one of which will be adjacent to her garden. “We raised the issue of privacy at the meeting, but the panel deemed that I had already lost it due to a prior development next door, but this is not the same,” she said. She will also completely lose her view from the back of the property. Stewart also points to what he says is a lack of consistency in the council’s handling of the matter. “There were 12 objections to a similar development at No 8284 Orton Street and the council rejected the planning application,” he said. “But here we have 30 objections for the same

reasons and the council has approved it. So I can’t see where the consistency is. My feeling is that council knew that this developer would take them to VCAT and they didn’t want to go.” Stewart also expressed disappointment that, with so many objections from community members, the local council member for the area was not in attendance at the hearing to support residents. Ocean Grove Community Association president John Fendyk said that the issue was more about just one property. “We’re looking to organise a community forum to canvass the views of residents in regards to planning and then lobby council and government accordingly,” he said. The next stop for Bob, Julie, Stewart and other neighbours with objections to the project is VCAT. “We just want it to be fair for everyone,” said Julie. “And this isn’t fair.” The Voice was unable to gain a comment from the developer at the time of going to press.

New to the post OCEAN Grove Surf Life Saving Club has had a changing of the guard. Outgoing president Peter Rankin passed the role to Chris Paterson (pictured), last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vicepresident. Chris, 49, moved back to Ocean Grove this year for a seachange with his wife Sandy and two sons. He grew up in Ocean Grove, first became a member of the club in 1978 and has witnessed the club grow to its current 780

members. Chris rejoined as an active member of the club four years ago when his two boys, James, 10, and Lachlan, 8, joined the nippers. He said he has had the privilege to see the club evolve since the 1970s from a Melbourne-based club to strong local membership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was first involved in the 70s about 80 per cent of the membership was from Melbourne, it had a real Sunday, weekend culture

BARWON Coast raised more than $5,000 when it held a morning tea to raise money for the Cancer Council. A good turnout of staff at the Barwon Heads MultiPurpose Facility resulted in generous donations made over

steaming cups of tea and tasty treats from Peppercorn CafĂŠ. Barwon Coast general manager Bob Jordan said it was the third year the organisation had held the event, with Barwon Coast matching every dollar contributed.

Park cafe revamp and not many local members but now a good 80 per cent are local and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good year-round club,â&#x20AC;? he said. Chris said the committee had several short term and long term goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The renovations to the club is probably at the top of the list but will probably

take the longest,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had discussions with the members and now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of talking to the other stakeholders and look to funding.â&#x20AC;? The club will be launching its new website in the next two months which will allow greater interaction

with members and combine social networking with club news. The committee is also looking at expanding the nippers program and ultimately increasing the amount of surflifesavers looking after Ocean Grove beaches during the summer.

A BIT of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous food scene is coming to Ocean Grove. Regulars in the Ocean Grove Park would have noticed the extensive renovations underway at the old Park View cafĂŠ. Local builder Paul Cover (pictured right) bought the cafĂŠ in 2009, and in conjunction with chef and caterer Sean Tandy (left), is turning it into a mid-tohigh-end restaurant with a focus on seafood and Asianstyle cooking. It will be called Napona, meaning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;his waveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Chamoru, spoken by north pacific islanders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The aim is to bring a bit of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cosmopolitan dining experience to Ocean Grove, to make it coastal cosmopolitan,â&#x20AC;? said Sean. While the focus will be on Asian flavours, there will be a Mediterranean influence.

day in the life – alistair mccallum

Peace, passion abound I GREW up in Aberdeen on the east coast of Scotland where I went to Robert Gordon’s College and, after a gap year, I studied dentistry at Edinburgh University, graduating in 1976. Linda and I married in Perth, Scotland, in 1978 and emigrated to Australia in March 1979. After a month in Melbourne and six months in Geelong, we moved to Ocean Grove. We now live close to Point Lonsdale where we have a horse property. My first memories of Ocean Grove are lying on the beach on a hot summer’s day and watching the cool change appear and the temperature dropping 10 degrees in as many minutes as the wind changed around. I also remember having our first Christmas with some new friends upstairs in what is now

Greg Sly’s office. It was one of those overcast days not like the hot Australian Christmas’s we had seen in the films. I started working in a dental practice in Corio Village (in which I am still a partner) and I opened my practice in Trak Arcade when it was built in 1987 and have been there ever since. I was a member of Rotary for a few years in the late 80s and for many years through the 80s and 90s I was involved with the Geelong Horse Trials – a group that developed and ran a horse event at Koombahla Park and then in Wallington. Linda was teaching riding at Koombahla Park and I decided it would be a good idea to give it a try. I rode competitively until the early 90s when our children were born and my association

with horses continued when, for a number of years, we were breeding warmblood horses for showjumping and dressage. After taking my younger son Fraser to the school bus I usually get to the surgery about 8am and am finished about 6pm. Tuesday I go to yoga and Thursdays I sing with the Tides of Welcome Community Choir. On Friday, my day off, I drive Fraser to school and then I hope the weather is ok for a surf, then into the garden or lunch with Linda.

My favourite local shops are the bookshop and the hardware store. I love reading and it is so good to have a local bookshop. A shop selling good quality men’s fashion, not just surfwear, is really missing in Ocean Grove. There will always be changes in the Terrace, but not major ones because I think there will be more focus on the development of the Kingston Estate – and the proposed new shopping area. Growth helps business survive and provides jobs all year round

not just through the summer. If I were the mayor of Ocean Grove I would make the main street traffic-free and encourage a lot more of the outdoor restaurant activity. The growing population and the pressure on infrastructure are issues that Ocean Grove will have to deal with. At the moment surfing is my passion away from work — I have a longboard — I like the physical aspect of paddling and the peacefulness out the

back sitting on the board — no phones, no hassles, sun on your back. I enjoy the company of Alan Barber and Richard Grimmett, but unfortunately at times work gets in the way. The best thing about Ocean Grove is the beach and my favourite place is sitting by the dunes looking out. If I wasn’t in Ocean Grove I would chose Port Douglas — at least for a month or two — but Ocean Grove is a good place to live all year round, no floods, no earthquakes!

Bats are aplenty OCEAN Grove Nature Reserve is aflutter with bats. Members of the Geelong Field Naturalist Club laid traps with the aim of studying the reserve’s resident bat population. Trevor Pescott and Barry Lingham headed the study and expected to capture and identify three or four bats, but were startled to find 50 bats in the traps over the two nights they set them. At least four species were among the captured nocturnes including little forest bat, lesser longeared bat, gould’s wattled bat and the chocolate wattled bat. “It was a surprising result,” said Trevor. “The nights were ideal to do the trap setting, clear and warm. “They were all tiny bat species, weighing anything from four or five to 10 grams. They feed on beetles, moths and mosquitoes — any insects really — in flight.” The bats feed at dusk, have a break and then

have another feed about midnight. Residents on the lookout for the bats will see them flying on warm nights, which rules out the coming months. “During the winter, they hibernate in groups of between six and thirty in the hollows of trees. They drop their heart rates down and go into a sort of torpor,” said Trevor, who hopes to resume setting traps for bats on the Bellarine when it warms up. “The temperature needs to get to around 12-15 degrees overnight for them to become active.” Stuart Willsher, ranger team leader for Parks Victoria on the Bellarine Peninsula, said that in his five years involved with parks on the peninsula, this was the first time anyone has tried to get a handle on bat numbers. “The number trapped, and the number of species, certainly far exceeded our expectations. All the species are native to the area,” he said. “Like lots of species

whose habits make them hard to spot, they’re not actively sought out, with other nocturnal species like wallabies and possums easier to find. “It’s certainly a positive finding and reinforces the importance of the reserve as one of the last remaining stands of natural forest on the Bellarine and one of the last habitable patches of land for many species.”

Ocean Grove goes live MORE than 130 acts playing four venues over the course of four days created a buzz across the town and will have inspired yet more musos next time around. Initially an ‘open mic’ event, the festival has developed into a place where both pros and newby performers can rock up and get the same time on the same stages. Added toghether the four venues, the Piping Hot Chicken Shop, Bardeli, the Ocean Grove Hotel and the Zebra Bar will have hosted 80 and 100 hours of live music at the weekend - and nearly all of it was free. All ages took part from youngsters in the Mantelli Five to others in their 60s. Good crowds of locals and visitors added to the ambience of the town, in spite of partial competition from the neighbouring National Celtic Festival in Portarlington during the same long weekend. The event was due to finish with a workshop featuring local musician John Willard and Aussie blues master Phil Manning.

WORKING TOGETHER: The group of 55 young people enjoyed workshop and team-building exercises at the three-day camp.

Youth build skills at camp IT’S official. The first Bellarine Youth Leadership Camp was a huge success. The camp was planned and organised by the Bellarine Youth Action Crew, a group of 12 passionate, interested and enthusiastic young people. “The Bellarine Youth Action Crew has been working on this project since March this year,” Mel Taylor of BATForce said. “They have decided on

workshops and activities, promoted the camp, recruited participants and been involved in leading discussions and running some of the sessions at the camp.” Fifty-five young people took part in the three-day camp at the Coastal Forest Lodge in Anglesea. Some of the activities included; • The Amazing Race, a fast-paced, fun, and

competitive team-building activity that sets team against team in a race to finish as many challenges as they can in two-hours. • Staff from Bellarine Community Health and headspace Barwon Bellarine gave workshops on public speaking, relaxation and resilience. • Travis Demsey, the ex-drummer from the Living End, delivered a motivating talk which

inspired everyone present to set their goals, aim high and challenge themselves to think about how they can make a difference. He also lead a drumming workshop. • Steve McEwan lead songwriting workshops which produced two songs with positive messages. •BarwonCoast, SpringDale Community Centre, headspace, Youth Foundations Victoria,

Victoria Police, and the Drysdale Clifton Springs Community Association discussed how young people could get involved in the community. The members of the Bellarine Youth Action Crew are interested in planning another Bellarine Youth Leadership Camp. To find out more contact Mel Taylor on 0438 558 130 or e-mail mel@batforce. org.au

ON MESSAGE: Paul Drake with the marketing seminar’s guest speakers.

Marketing OCEAN Grove businesses have been investing time in learning the basics of good marketing practice. About 30 locals traders, tradies and service providers attended a seminar held at Club Grove on June 1 where they heard a selection of speakers talking on the subjects from website optimisation and branding to public

relations and dealing with the media. The speakers were Andy Worland of Circle Media, Jane and Andy Sefton of Grindstone Media and Liz Loughnan of The Communicators who also took questions on a number of subjects at the end of the evening. In addition, computer, website, newspaper, corporate clothing and photography businesses

also put on a small information display for guests. The event was organised by the Ocean Grove Business Association.

THE COLLENDINA milk bar has been reincarnated as a sacred cow, focusing on all things milk. New owners — Jeremy, Sarah and Simon Frasor — took over the milk bar in November last year and after trading over a summer destroyed by wet weather started work on converting the milk bar into the Cheeky Cow Café. “It’s a long story involving lots of vodka,” Jeremy said of the café’s quirky name. “But it was really born from using milk in lots of our products – milkshakes, ice cream, coffee – over summer and catering to holiday makers then.” However, with winter approaching and a fire being installed as part of the renovations they are looking to offer a friendly and warm café experience that pleases the locals year round. “We’re building towards a café and takeaway concept with some gourmet stock and local produce,” said Jeremy, a few days before

the opening. “We’re aiming to provide locals with healthy, fine food and good coffee which will be single origin, organic and fair trade.” With soups, crusty breads, the fire and wireless internet access, the Cheeky Cow will be a welcoming proposition for walkers, and parents with young kids in the area. “We’ll also be doing egg and bacon sandwiches and fish and chips for the tradies, as well as offering catering services for the town,” said Jeremy. The Cheeky Cow opened on June 4, with an official opening party planned for later in the month.

Apple growers in fear THE LIFTING of import restrictions on apples imported from New Zealand could devastate the fruit trees of local growers. New Zealand apples may bring fire blight – bacteria that gives infected trees a burnt appearance on blossoms, leaves and branches – into Australia. Pear and quince trees are even more susceptible to infection from the bacteria, as are some plants in the rose family. Apple and Pear Australia managing director John Durham said that NZ science suggests that mature apples don’t carry fire blight organisms. Nevertheless, Australia should be careful when accepting apples from New Zealand. “We have a conservative position in that we wouldn’t want to accept fruit from an orchard where a fire blight outbreak occurs while that crop is being produced,” he said. “But it’s not a position the government has taken.” The debate still rages as to whether fire blight will take root in Australia. “That’s the $200 million,

Mangroves key to river health CHANGING COURSE: Grower Alan Lomas is moving away from commercial apple farming.

$1 billion question,” Durham said. The removal of the import restrictions – in place in New Zealand’s case, since 1921 – also applies to Chinese and American apples and is likely to put downward pressure on wholesale prices but Durham thinks retail prices will remain largely unchanged. “I would expect that the big supermarkets will leave their prices largely as they

are and just take a bigger margin,” he said. Apple farmer Alan Lomas cited the lifting of the import restrictions as a reason why he and many other farmers were moving away from commercial apple farming. “We did farm apples commercially but we lost half our trees to the drought. Now we’ve only got 10 acres of orchard which we use to target the Sunday markets,” he said.

“We looked at what was going on with the importation of apples and decided against expanding our apple orchard again. It costs farmers upwards of $70 to produce a tonne of apples where they can land them at Tullamarine for $50 a tonne.” As for fire blight into the country, Alan feels it’s a matter of when, not if. “I don’t really trust AQIS (Australian Quarantine Inspection Service) to keep

things out. I’ve had people come here (Lomas orchard on Wallington Road) with stuff on them that they’ve brought in from other countries. It only takes one consignment to slip through and it’s all over,” he said. He is also yet to notice any change in price due to the slackening of restrictions but thinks it will be clearer later in the year, as the Australian season comes to an end.

IN A good sign for the health of the Barwon River, mangrove seedlings are popping up downstream of the Ocean Grove boat ramp. On the Barwon Heads side of the river, they are being spotted a few hundred metres up from the bridge. The growth of the seedlings is seen as an exciting development by conservation groups and Parks Victoria, and point to a healthy river system. “It’s fantastic from our perspective,” said ranger team leader for Parks Victoria on the Bellarine Peninsula Stuart Willsher. “White mangroves in the

lower part of the Barwon are a great thing for the environment and a great indicator of river health. “There are direct linkages between white mangroves and river health. They play a role in the breeding cycle of a number of fish.” Only time will tell if the seedlings will establish into fully grown trees. “It’s important for residents to understand that even if they do grow into full trees that won’t obstruct views,” Stuart said. “They probably won’t exceed the height of the retaining wall up near the boat ramp.”

I have to thank John Norton for alerting me to his sighting of two Cape Barren geese while he was flying his ultra-light airplane near Point Lonsdale last week (see John’s photo). The Cape Barren goose is a large (100cm) water bird, with a wingspan of 150-190cm. It is Australia’s only native goose. The Cape Barren goose (also known as the pig goose) was named after Cape Barren Island, which is located off the north east coast of Tasmania in the Bass Strait. The geese were first sighted on this island in the 1800s. The birds have grey feathers speckled with black spots, red legs, black feet, and a very

distinctive light-green cere (the skin above the bill), which can be easily seen in my photo that I took of a goose at Jirrahlinga Wildlife Sanctuary a few months ago. This poor goose was trying very hard to fly but couldn’t get off the ground. The Cape Barren geese are found in scattered areas along the south east coast of Australia from Victoria to small areas of Western Australia. It is mainly found on offshore islands, living in grassy areas and paddocks. The geese feed mainly on grasses and herbs. Pairs of geese are monogamous and mate for life. Breeding usually occurs on the offshore islands rather than the mainland of Australia, where I suppose there fewer predators. The males construct the nest

environment

on the ground, and both males and females help to rear the young geese. In the 1950s it was feared that Cape Barren geese numbers were so low that they were going to become extinct. However they have since adapted to feeding on agricultural land, and numbers have increased. In Tasmania the numbers are considered secure,

but in Victoria their status is still vulnerable. Well done to John for not only spotting the pair of geese, but also getting a photo while guiding his plane. Now he is under pressure to get a photograph of the pair of brolgas he spotted from his aircraft earlier in the year near Lake Connewarre. By JENNIFER CARR

From Chook Shop CARUS Thompson is returning to the Piping Hot Chicken Shop with his new band in tow to promote his album Caravan. It’s been nearly a year since he was last there and he expressed a fondness for the venue he has played at three times before. “It’s great to play at. To be honest I really love playing at the smaller local venues,” he said, on his way to performing at a gig in Warnambool. “We’re going to see more and more of these types of venues starting up as people create the environment they want. People are getting sick of

going to a 700-seat pub and the corporatisation of the live music scene.” With fourteen years of touring both in Australia and overseas Carus is well placed to assess what makes live music a good thing, and he sees the smaller, more intimate venue as the way of the future. “Lots of the gigs I’ve done in Europe are in venues like the Piping Hot Chicken Shop,” he said. “Like a small gig in Germany will be organised by someone who’ll find the venue, invite all their friends, sell tickets and do the promotion.”

Having supported the John Butler Trio in front of 6,500 people at Leeuwin Estate in Western Australia, Carus could be forgiven for being a little underwhelmed by a small gig in a takeaway, but in fact the opposite is true. “It’s funny doing a big gig, because you don’t really see past the first five rows and you don’t really notice whether people are enjoying themselves or not,” he said. “I really enjoy an intimate venue because its part of the whole live music experience for me. I want to entertain people. I want them to have a good time but also get them

involved in the lyrics and in the story. “As a storyteller I need energy to come back from the audience and then at the end I always like to try to get people to dance and if I can do all those things in an intimate environment it breaks down barriers between people. “It’s got to be a party experience, where 100 strangers walk into room and if it goes well they feel a kind of special energy and feel like they know each other by the end of it.” Carus and band are playing at the Chicken Shop on June 18.

BELLARINE Secondary College students enjoyed a day of environmental education. Some students discussed their experiences. On May 20, year 8 students from Bellarine Secondary College took part in a range of activities, raising awareness about the environment and why we need to look after it. The main activity was a bush walk through the Ocean Grove Nature Reserve, as students got on their walking boots on a mission to find out about different types of native flora and fauna, including finding out about how different plants are planted, where they grow, and what they need to survive. Some plants need to be burned in fires to spread their seeds, so in the nature reserve there are sections where small fires are started on purpose to make sure that new seeds will spread and so that species of plants continue to grow. We saw lots of different insects and other interesting things on the walk, and I think everybody learnt something new about the environment, and the importance of caring for it. By Tahlea-Rose White Environment day was a great day for the year 8s of Bellarine Secondary College. First off we started making environmental postcards on the computer. We had to get a picture from the Bellarine Peninsula off the internet and then come up with a catchy phrase that explains the importance of the environment. Next off we talked about the different native plants that once grew in the area of our school. We then went on to find out information of these plants. Among them were the common tussock and running

postman. We planted these in a garden bed that was created that day, and then we were given books that explained the plants. We watched a video of Black Saturday and talked about marine life. The video was very informative and detailed, and it was interesting to hear about that awful day. The marine life we talked about were things like plankton and seaweed. There was a really great activity we took

part in, where we had to sketch the plant and fill in some details about its main features. Later in the day we went to Surfside Primary Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hall for the environmental presentations. My friends and I spent about 50 hours creating an AWESOME video. The judges are going to struggle. Thanks to the Marine Biology Centre and Barwon Coast. By Connor Morell

BELLARINE student Jesse Ross was one of only 250 students from Victoria to be awarded a VCE Premiers Award in Melbourne recently. The Year 12 student was given the award for achieving the second highest study score in VET Information Technology across the state last year.

Surf Lifesaving Awards

Merit of Service Award: Peter Rankin.

John Bishop Memorial Best Clubman award: David Pavia.

Coach’s Award: Genevieve Wild (above) and Jamie Soldani-Rowan.

OCEAN Grove Surf Life Saving Club honoured Peter Rankin with the Merit of Service award, for three years as president, at the club’s presentation night. The award is given to a president who has served in the role for three years. Club captain Fontaine Portelli said the night – held at the Thirteenth Beach Golf Club’s function centre on Saturday June 4 – was themed around giving Peter, who finished his presidency this year, an appropriate send off. “His kids and wife were interviewed and he got a bit of a grilling,” said Fontaine. “It was all about giving Peter a good send off.” Club treasurer David Pavia was a worthy winner of the John Bishop Memorial Best Clubman award. Prior to taking over duties as treasurer this year, he served as the club’s vice president. The night was attended by over 110 people; the size of the figure was aided by the good turnout of lifetime members. “It was a great turnout of lifetime members,” said Fontaine. “They’re invited every year, and a lot turned

up this year.” Well over 25 awards were handed out on the night. The Patrol Service Award was won by Courtney Jones for 101 hours of patrolling. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone doing that many hours of patrol over the season,” said Fontaine. “It was a great effort.” Isabella Rowlands won the Ray Johnson Nipper of the Year to go with her under 15 Club Champion award. New club president Chris Paterson said the night was a great way to wrap up the 2010-2011 season.“ Even though the Australian titles were a couple of months ago, the awards night is a good way to finish the season off,” he said. There were a few sore heads at the club’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on the Sunday following the awards night, where Fontaine was reappointed club captain for another year. “Yeah, there wasn’t as big a turnout at the AGM as we might have expected,” she laughed. “I re-nominated for the captaincy and was pleased to be voted back in.” By Hamish Brooks

Club president Andy Franks, sponsor Geoff Brentnall, Vets chairman Peter Williams and co-ordinator Peter Brown.

Aussies rule MORE than 50 players took part in the inaugural ‘Aussies verses The Rest of the World‘ Veterans Golf day at the Ocean Grove Golf Club on Friday. The idea for this event came out of discussions after one of the normal Friday morning’s Vets competition about three months ago. Ocean Grove Vets Chairman Peter Williams became the main driving force and very early said that he and his wife Maris would sponsor ‘T Shirts’ for the teams, Aussies, Green and Gold, and the Rest of the World, Blue, Red and White. A piece of

‘Mallee Root’ was suggested as an appropriate trophy, this was quickly organised by John Pentland and it was game on. Two captains were selected Gordon Harrop, (ROW} and John Pentland (Aussies), 54 players put their names down, 21 for the ROW and 33 for the Aussies, another member Geoff Brentnall offered prizes for the day and the competition was set for the 10th of June. The last few Fridays saw a bit of banter about who was playing and how they were playing at the time, but this

meant nothing, as some may have peaked early. The result was determined by the scores by the best 12 cards from each camp, the result was Aussies 442 Pts Rest of the World 427 Pts. Both teams had a player lead the way with 41 Pts, but the greater depth of the Aussies prevailed in the end. The presentations to the winning captain were made followed by lunch at the club. This event will now be on the Ocean Grove Golf Clubs Vets calendar every year from now on.

Ladies club championships

Club Champion Sally Schaller.

OCEAN Grove Golf Club Ladies recently held their 2011 club championships. The Championships were proudly sponsored by IGA Barwon Heads and Sally Schaller was the winner for the 3rd year, following success in 2009 and 2010. Playing off a handicap of 19,with rounds of 87, 87, and 89 (263), Sally led by 3 shots after the first round, 5 shots after the 2nd round and held the 5 shot margin in the final round. Elaine Elliot won the B Grade champion, playing off a handicap of 33, Elaine also led all 3 rounds with scores of 96, 98 and 107 (301) to win by 8 shots. Jill Jacimovic won the C Grade Champion, playing off 45 Jill had rounds of 109, 116 and 112 (337) to win by 2 shots after being 3 shots behind going into the final round. The A Grade

Nett event was won by Wendy Fletcher, B Grade Nett was won by Alana Grimaud and the C Grade Nett was won by Jan Lannin. The overall 54 hole Nett trophy from all grades was won by Alana Grimaud with 201 Nett. The day after the Club Championships ended the South West District Ladies Golf Association pennant season also came to an end with the Ocean Grove Division 6 side needing a win at Queenscliff golf club, to secure their first SWDLGA pennant for 13 years. The girls managed to win 4/1 and walked away with a very much cherished flag. Captain Sally Schaller said the feeling of winning the pennant was so much better than winning the individual event of the day before and she was super proud of the teams

achievement. The winning team members were Sally Schaller (c), Chris Jolley, Faye Laver, Pam Cameron, Wendy Fletcher and Ces Gunn. Ocean Grove also had success earlier in the year winning their first Otway pennant flag after competing in it for many years. The handicap pennant is a great way for the girls to experience matchplay and serves them well to move into the SWDLGA scratch pennant. The winning team members were Helen Stratton (c), Alana Grimaud, Betty Glasgow, Di Clifton, Di Coomes, Pat Franken, Helen Smith and Ces Gunn. It is an absolute pleasure to see the 2 flags proudly flying from the flagpoles in front of the Clubhouse. For a small club, the ladies have a lot to smile about.

It was a more physical game than our girls are used to and they responded well working as a team to keep control of the ball and keep the scoring pressure up. It was easily our best game of the year and the hard work is starting to show results with us moving into the top five at the half way point of the year. Next week we travel out to Broadmeadows to take on the top team and a win here could set us up for a top three finish.

Tony Potter Coach U14 girls Bellarine Storm U 16 Girls The u16 girls this week had to travel to Templestowe to play Bulleen 6. The girls played well this week. We started off strong in our 2-2-1 full court press. Bulleen struggled at the start with getting the ball past centre court. Once again our team work was good and scored a few goals off some really good fast breaks. In the 2nd half we fall asleep for a while and let Bulleen catch up. The girls had to adjust to the referee’s style and did well to change the way they played defence. The girls had yet another win (winning by 3pts) and are doing extremely well. Sarah and I are very happy with how well the girls are doing and that they don’t drop their heads when things just aren’t going their way. We are now sitting 2nd on the ladder and looking forward to taking on the top team. Well done girls, keep up the good work both game night and at training.

Waves on a roll after Barwon win SURFSIDE Waves are riding on the crest of a wave, after a 4-1 home win over Barwon at Shell Road. Surfside started the game strongly, and the magic Maddy Bennett road show kicked in, with her second hat-trick in two weeks. The waves played some neat one twos around the park

with Molly Strano never far from the action. Carla D’Allensandro started in goal and had a game well above her young years. Alicia Keys Grant had a fine game on the wing after coming down with the flu. In the second half Barwon came strongly back into the game as Surfside seemed to take their foot

Impressive start for Under 11s The Surfside Waves Blue U/11 team have had a wonderful start to the season this year. After 6 games the team have won 5 and lost 1 game, scoring a total of 35 goals in total for their first 6 games and conceded only 11 goals in total. The boys put in a tremendous effort as a team each week under the guidance of coach, Cam Plapp. It’s great to see all of the junior Surfside Waves teams giving it their best each week and enjoying every moment of their games. Well done boys!

off the gas, and let the visitors have some good possession and create chances. Surfside Waves Annie Nukku was outstanding with her hard tackles and a throw that would make Rory Delap blush. Waves ran out winners at full time in a superb performance that was a credit to the team and to the coach.

Pictured left: back row, Connor, Seth, Max, Joseph, Kai, Wade and coach Cam. Front row Archie, Will, Noah, Harry and Jesse.

Men well placed in season IN men’s Sunday league soccer division 2, Surfside Waves are well placed in third position now just one point behind joint leaders Barwon Heads and Corio. In their latest outing the Waves travelled away to Barwon full of confidence after their hard fought victory over local rivals Barwon Heads the week before. However, the Waves soon found themselves pinned back in their own half by an energetic young Barwon team who seemed to be first to every ball and within thirty minutes had

deservedly taken a 2-0 lead. The Waves seemed stunned and if it wasn’t for a superb reaction save by goalkeeper Adrian Hawken from point blank range the game would surely have been put out of reach. That seemed to be the turning point and before half time the Waves had clawed their way back into the match with veteran Nick Hargreaves nonchalantly slotting passed the keeper following a defence splitting pass by Irish import Stan Nangle. Not unexpectedly captain Troy McClellend gave the

players a serious dressing down at half time for their lack-lustre performance and in response it wasn’t long into the second half before the Waves pulled level. From a long through ball the Barwon goalie looked favourite to get to the ball first, but Staffan Hargreaves found an extra gear to win the sprint and then showed great poise in lifting the ball over the out-rushing keeper. The Waves then took control and squandered several good chances, with the worst offender Stan Nangle, confronted by an open goal, somehow conjuring

to hit the crossbar when surely it would have been easier to score. It wasn’t until three minutes from full time that the Waves finally got their reward for a great second half performance when a precision strike by Nick Hargreaves found the bottom corner and secured all three points in what was truly a game of two halves. Next up the Waves are home to joint league leaders Corio and will need to be at their best straight from kick-off this time around.

Cramer and the Matildas versus the soccer World By HAMISH BROOKS group. We don’t know too much about them. I think that like most African teams they’ll play a strong physical style. “We have a more Asian style of play which is quick and precise and matches up well against the European teams.” There have been a lot of changes to the team that played Brazil in 2007, which makes it hard to predict how this side will go. “The average age of the side is 22. We’ve got seven players under 20 and a few 16-17 year olds,” said Lauren. “There’s lots of talent but there are a few players who are lacking that big game experience.” With 30-40,000 tickets already sold for the game against Brazil, the Matildas squad of 18 field players and three goal keepers couldn’t have a better place to get that experience. Lauren’s connection to the Matildas extends beyond her interest in

both soccer and sports physio. She used to play at Box Hill with current Australian captain and goalkeeper Melissa Barbieri. Prior to working with the Matildas she held a position with the Melbourne Victory. She was team physio when Victory won the league in 2007. “At the end of 2007, the Matildas approached me to see if I wanted to come on board and I did,” said Lauren, who works at clinics in Geelong and Deakin when she’s not with the Matildas. The Matildas get funding from the Australian Institute of Sport and Football Federation Australia and have spent two weeks at the AIS in Canberra, a week on the Central Coast playing New Zealand in practice games and a week on the Gold Coast as part of their preparation for the World Cup. The Matildas’ Asian Cup win over North Korea in 2010 stands as a career highlight for Lauren.

“We’re the only Australian team to win a competition in Asia since Australia joined the Asian Football Confederation in 2006. It was a huge achievement,” said Lauren. If The Matildas can progress from the group stage and into the finals

in Germany, they may go some way to topping that moment. After Brazil, the Matildas play Equatorial Guinea in Bochum on 3 July. Three days later they play Norway at Leverkusen, 6 July. The World Cup final will be played on July 17.

Ocean Grove Remedial Massage Centre

LAUREN Cramer flew out to Germany with The Matildas – the Australian women’s soccer team – on Tuesday. The Ocean Grove resident is the team’s physiotherapist and is hoping the Matildas can upset more fancied rivals Brazil and Norway to progress from the group stage of the World Cup that starts on June 27. The Matildas open their campaign against Brazil in Monchengladbach on June 29. Their other Group D rivals are Equatorial Guinea. “It’s a little bit like the men’s draw last year in that we’re against a very strong side in the opening game,” said Lauren prior to the team’s departure. The last time the two sides met, in the 2007 World Cup, Brazil won 3-2. A similar result would be a good one for the Matildas. “Obviously we want to beat Brazil but if we can score some goals against them that would be great,” said Lauren. “Equatorial Guinea is the surprise packet of our

Pictured above and right, D Grade action against Queenscliff.

Tough on court OCEAN Grove girls took on Queenscliff in the BFL netball. An emerging rivalry between the two teams ensured quite a few physical games and numerous medical time-outs.

U 11 - The girl’s combined great teamwork with their skills to have a win against Queenscliff. Sophie O’Connor played well shooting nine goals. U 13 (1) - The team applied great pressure in the third quarter particularly, with girls at both ends of the court working tirelessly. An overall win of 3620 was the result. Best players were Bridey McElligott, Abbey Badrock and Maddi Traynor. U 13 (2) - A well-played game set the girls up for a dominating win of 35-4.

players. The team is two points clear on the top of the ladder. U 15 (4) - OG 17 defeated St Albans 12.

Seven goal Hendoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is best on ground: 16s THE first under 16s, in a lack lustre display, went down to South Barwon 15 9 99 to 7 7 49. Among the better players on the day were Paul Dreher, Che Durran, Lachlan Mansfield, Rob Procter, and Brayden Warren. Zac Henderson kicked two goals, with Curtly Balshaw, Dylan Moroney, Rob Procter, Elliott Taylor, and Paul Dreher all contributing a goal apiece. This week the boys ventured down to Torquay, and after trailing early, overran the home side to record a 10.12 (72) to 8.6 (54) victory. After a run of defeats the boys are to be commended

for maintaining a high level of commitment to training with spirits remaining high. Zac Henderson continued on with his outstanding season with a best onground performance including three goals. The ever dangerous Curtly Balshaw bobbed up with two goals, Ash Denneman in his usual workhorse performance also kicked two, and Harry Rawlings, Oscar Doyle and Lachlan Mansfield all kicked one. Strong work through the likes of Alex Hackett, Tom Bean, Kieran McNally, Christian West and Elliott Taylor got us back into the game and onto victory.

The seconds played Corio and after being challenged early, regrouped to record a convincing victory 11.14 (80) to 4.8 (32). Myles Henderson in an outstanding best on ground performance kicked seven goals, Jake Taylor continues to impress around goals and kicked 2, with Toby Featherby and Josh Kehagias both kicking one. Jack Ness, Jesse Graauwmans, Robbie Drever, Harry Rawlings and Hugh Attard all played well in another good team performance. This week the seconds had a Friday night game under lights at West Oval and went down to top

team GWSP 15.11 (101) to 2.3 (15). Myles Henderson, James Stirling, Luke Davis, Ben Sanders, Jack Buchanan-Hagen and Jack Ness all fought hard against the odds. Goals kickers were Ted Trevean and Jake Taylor. Barwon Grove recorded a sensational victory over Leopold 9.7 (61) to 4.7 (31). Mitch Powell and James McGarry led the way with terrific four quarter games in the midfield. Daniel McManus presented well to the ball in the forward line and was rewarded with a goal. Jacob Van Eggelen swooped on ground balls in the forward line and kicked

two goals, Ted Trevean was a physical presence in the forward line and kicked a goal, and Mitch Powellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good game was highlighted with two goals. This week the Barwon Grove boys came up against top team St Marys and although battling hard all day were no match for the top team going down 20.17 (137) to 1.0 (6). Jamie Foster played his best game to date, Callum Herron was excellent in the ruck and around the ground, Josh Prendergast won plenty of the ball and it was good to welcome back Alex Selway and Patrick Britt to the team and both performed well.

grubbers football

A dropped chance, but second GRUBBERS near flawless season received its second blemish with a 45 point loss to Queenscliff at the Ocean Grove Memorial Reserve on the weekend. The Grubbers started the game well with the first three goals of the game. But against the wind the Coutas, fresh from an upset win over Anglesea the previous week and sitting third on the table, kicked three of their own and three at the start of the third before the Grubbers goaled again. While the Grubbers dominated the game early and had more scoring shots to half time, the warning signs were there halfway through the first quarter that the side might have been a bit flat. The Coutas run off half back and the wings seemed to be worrying the Grubbers in a way few sides had managed this season. Queenscliff took a 23 point lead into half time after a dominant quarter with the wind. If the Grubbers were to have a chance in the game they had to make effective use of the breeze in the third quarter and they did. Cameron McGregor released Tyson Doherty onto the ball and put big Pete Corredig forward. The instruction was to get it in long and quick and the side

By HAMISH BROOKS responded. Luke Sinnott was playing forward and opened proceedings with a terrific left foot snap after lots of hard work and evasion of numerous opponents. A goal to Cade Wellington was followed by an overhead kick by Jimmy Dalton that was shepherded through for another goal. After missing a couple of gettable set shots Wade ‘Chooka’ Piec kicked a miracle goal from the pocket which even confused the umpire, who went to signal a point before deciding it was a goal. A great running goal late in the quarter to Wellington had the Grubbers five points up and looking like they were going to continue on their winning ways. The back six, lead by Tom McManus, who played one of his best quarters for the year, and Bernie Lynch who was moved on to Queenscliff ’s dangerous Lee Martin, didn’t let a goal through til the 30 min mark of the quarter. But the Grubbers still had it all to do against the wind in the last term. Their five point three-quarter

time lead was a one point deficit within seconds of the quarter starting when Martin got away from Lynch to kick a goal. A disappointing fade out followed. The Coutas kicked 8 goals to none for the quarter to win 19.11-125 to Ocean Grove 11.14-70. Despite the size of the loss, Cameron McGregor was keen to reinforce the positives from what has been a very good season to date. “After the game I encouraged our players not to dwell on the negatives of the last quarter and look to bounce back against Portarlington next week,” he said. “I told them we’re seven and two with a healthy percentage and there’s still plenty of improvement left in us. We had six or seven players who were 20 or under, so this team still has a lot of upside.” McGregor said reducing turnovers, winning more clearances and accuracy in front of goal were all areas his side could improve. “We were beaten in the ruck clearances today which we need to work on and we probably could have been three or four goals up at three quarter time instead of five points if we had

kicked straighter,” he said. But he was keen not to take anything away from Queenscliff ’s effort. “They smashed us, and the three quarter time score probably flattered us a bit,” he said. At the halfway point of the season, the Grubbers are second on the ladder and one of four sides on seven wins and two losses. “We’ve got a pretty tough second half of the year,” said McGregor. “We’ve got the other top four sides away, but we’ve got a pretty good away record and we’ll get to play on some bigger grounds, which are the types of grounds the finals are played on so we can treat it as a bit of a dress rehearsal.” The seconds sit on top of the table having lost only one game for the year. They beat Queenscliff by 37 points and would have won by much more if not for inaccuracy in front of goal. Final scores were Ocean Grove 12.21-93 to Queenscliff 9.2-56. Daniel Maloney and Patrick West were amongst the best players in a good team effort. In the early game, the Ocean Grove under 18s smashed Geelong Amateur to the tune of 122 points.
