Budget boost STEPHANIE NAYLOR

THE announcement of the council’s draft budget brings big developments for the Drysdale and Clifton Springs community. Council has agreed to support the establishment of a project to construct a fishing platform at Clifton Springs as well as two new community facilities. “Funding has been made available for early planning works for a children’s and community centre on Jetty Road, which would provide early years services. While construction of this centre will be a while off yet, important consultation and planning work can get started,” Cheetham Ward Councillor Rod Macdonald said. It is understood that the Bellarine Rail Trail would also receive funding as well as traffic changes along Jetty Road. “Pedestrian lights will be installed along the rail trail at Jetty Road, Clifton Springs and necessary improvements will be made to vehicle access points for emergency services and maintenance vehicles.” Around $150,000 was allocated to construct a "T" fishing platform at

Clifton Springs, dependent on State Government funding allocation. The news comes just after the announcement of a $1.1 million grant for Clifton Springs Primary School last month. “The Victorian Coalition Government is pleased to deliver this funding which will enable Clifton Springs Primary School to undergo an important upgrade,” Premier Denis Napthine explained when the funding was announced last month. “The funding could allow us to fix our roof, update the student toilets and ICT infrastructure and perhaps remodel our school gymnasium. We also want our students and families to be really involved in this so we are surveying them to gain their valuable ideas and opinions,” Clifton Springs principal Brent Richards added. “Clifton Springs Primary School is an important part of the Bellarine community. This is a great announcement for the families of the 272 students who are enrolled at this school,” Liberal Candidate for Bellarine Ron Nelson said.

Clifton Springs Primary School captains Sebastian, Breanna and Finn are delighted to learn the news of their school's funding.

On fire for first place HOLY SMOKE, Drysdale Fire Brigade is on fire. The brigade came first in their division at the Volunteer Fire Brigade Victorian State Championships last month. Taking out Division C, it was the first time Drysdale has competed in the event. “It was a very successful day. A lot of great memories were made and the members had a great time. It’s a good opportunity to maintain our skills and practice them in a competitive, high pressure situation,” Drysdale Fire Brigade Captain Brendan MacDonald said. The day consisted of six events which reflect regular firefighting exercises such as squirting targets. There are currently 30 volunteers which make up Drysdale’s local fire brigade. “We can’t wait to compete next year and work our way up in divisions,” Captain MacDonald explained. If you’re interested in becoming a volunteer for the Drysdale Fire Brigade, call 0431-476 311.

A PUBLIC meeting conducted by the Drysdale Clifton Springs Community Association earlier this month has resulted in a compiled letter for residents to support by signing and sending to City Hall. The meeting on Traffic Management was attended by Lisa Neville, Member for Bellarine, and Ron Nelson, current councillor for Deakin and Liberal Candidate for Bellarine, along with 70 concerned residents. The DCSCA is calling for locals to support their focus group set up to investigate the traffic congestion in Drysdale and object to the proposal of the Caltex service station, the blocking off of Coryule Rd and the installation of traffic lights where the Rail Trail crosses Jetty Rd. “We are requesting that traffic lights be installed where the Rail Trail and the Rail Line cross Princess Street instead and the construction of the Drysdale Ring Road to reduce traffic congestion and get trucks out of Drysdale High Street,” DCSCA Secretary Neil McGuinness said.

High praise for local pair BRILLIANT, breezy folk... reminiscent of the Everly Brothers and Simon & Garfunkel. That is how Jeff Jenkins in The Music describes the sounds Sarah Carroll and Marcel Borrack are producing together.

Highlighting their lyrical skills and the gorgeous interplay of two

biting and wry; they deal with heartaches, dreams and politics, and feature Marcel's superb guitar playing, Sarah's faultless rhythms, and the kind of harmony singing that leaves their audiences breathless. Clifton Springs local Sarah's previous solo release, Home And Heart, featuring Marcel on guitars, placed highly in best of 2011 lists compiled by Rhythms Magazine, Greville Records and The Basement Discs in Melbourne and received fantastic reviews in The Age and online. Marcel's

band Minibikes produced a wonderfully modernsounding pop album, For Woods Or Trail, in 2012, exploring his unique synthesis of the sounds he loved as a boy and the paths his brilliant talent allows him to tread as a mature musician. Soft Gold is available at The Basement Discs and Greville Records in Melbourne, on iTunes and online from cdbaby.com. The pair is playing at the Saints and Sailors at 8pm in Portarlington this Saturday May 31. Admission is $10.

And in May, let there be art! The Bellarine Youth Action Crew have come up with an idea which gives young people along the Bellarine a chance to showcase their artwork, writes Stephanie Naylor. ‘May There Be Art’ is a youth art exhibition, run by our local youth, for youth. The idea was first put into play two years ago and has become biennial. “The inspiration came from the fact that there are not many opportunities for us and other youths between 12 and 25 years old to show and sell our artwork,” president of the BYAC Jacob Shears said. All types of art will be on display, with photography,

canvas, video, sculptures, paintings and more expected to enter. “Fifty percent of the profits made by art sold go to the artist and the other fifty percent goes back into the BYAC so we can run more events,” Jacob explained. Other projects the group has orchestrated include free hug days, cyber bullying training sessions, travelling silent discos and an upcoming trivia night in July. The exhibition launches on Friday at 5pm to 7pm at Drysdale’s Potato Shed. “Anyone is welcome to come along and check the exhibition out,” Jacob said.

Lions members Dawn Quarrell and Nola Deane boogying. BOOGYING along the Bellarine is becoming awfully popular. The second Clifton Springs Lions Club Bellarine Boogie Dance was held at St James Church in Drysdale recently, proving yet again a huge success. “It was great to see so many enthusiastic people turn up in costume on the night, especially as many were in wheelchairs,” Clifton Springs Lions Club Denise Ainsworth said. The ‘Age of Aquarius’ theme was embraced by many who attended, with all carers and people with special needs getting into the spirit of the night. “The music was great and kept going all night, with one young lady even celebrating her 21st birthday on the night as well. Quite a few were in wheelchairs but this did not deter them from dancing away. Such joy on their faces justifies any hard work to put this night together,” Denise Ainsworth added. The Clifton Springs Lions Club is already planning for the next Bellarine Boogie. “We have decided we have to keep this project going as we get a great deal back in the form of the happiness and genuine thankfulness that these patrons show us. A Christmas in July theme is planned and a Footy Theme for September,” Denise explained. For more information, contact organiser Mandy Webb from the Clifton Springs Lions Club on 0432-595 265.

Talented duo share their voices TWO talented Saint Ignatius students headed to the big smoke to have their voices heard last Sunday. Fraser Richards and Catherine Nitz (pictured right) found themselves at Brunswick Secondary Collage in Melbourne, where they competed in a competition called

‘Rostrum, Voice of Youth’. The duo had worked on speeches over the last five weeks, preparing a sixminute speech each to present in the heats for the competition. Catherine wrote and spoke on “Climb every mountain” and Fraser explored the topic “A most valuable legacy.” “They presented

their speeches with confidence, intelligence, humour and strength and did Saint Ignatius very proud,” public speaking tutor Amanda La Bonte said. Fraser advanced to the semi-final, where he presented his speech for a second time and then had the challenge of writing and presenting an

impromptu speech, which he had 15 minutes to prepare for. “Both students were commended on their skills and received certificates for competing. This was the first time I have taken students to compete in 'Rostrum', and after today, it won’t be the last,” Amanda added.

girls were a very strong outfit this year, but our girls fought hard till the end. Olivia Young was very damaging in defence, regularly taking intercepts for her side, so she was named the best team player. The year 9 and 10 (A) team remained undefeated all day and won convincingly against Kardinia in the grand final. Holly Milsome was a consistent performer in the mid court for her team and she was awarded the best team player. The year 9 and 10 (B) team (coached by Ms Shaw) also remained

undefeated throughout the day and they won a hard fought match against Kardinia in the grand final. Georgia Holloway worked tirelessly in the mid court and she was awarded the best team player. Throughout the day, all the girls produced some wonderful netball and they should be very proud of their achievements.

Grace on a high Clifton Springs teen wins tournament

CLIFTON Springs resident Grace Campagnolo admits she is still on a high after taking out the Ocean Spray competition at Thirteenth Beach Golf Links earlier this month, writes Mark Heenan. The Saint Ignatius College Drysdale–based year nine student won the par event competition at the Barwon Heads golf course on Saturday May 10 to finish seven strokes ahead of her projected handicap of 26. Up to 100 players competed in the par competition on the day. The 15-year-old who has been playing competitive golf for the last two years, said she had no expectations heading into the Ocean Spray competition. “I just thought it was a normal round of

stableford golf, I had no idea it was a competition, like an Ocean Spray Competition,” Grace told the Voice. Grace was presented with a crystal vase glass trophy after the victorious round of golf on May 10. Grace’s recent successful golf exploits extend beyond her win at Thirteenth Beach Golf Links, she is also a member of the Clifton Springs Junior Golf Pennant team. Grace, who teamed up with three fellow Saint Ignatius College students including Lachie Bassett, Robert Bursa and James Daglas, were crowned number one junior team in the Geelong district in February. Grace is also a keen tennis player and plays with the Clifton Springs Tennis Club.
