We see the light THE third Light of Day Australia was a smashing success. Held at three Ocean Grove eateries – Driftwood Cafe, Piping Hot Chicken Shop and Burger Grill, and Olive Pit Deli – over two nights with a smorgasboard of talent, the event was sold out and helped raise $20,000 for Parkinson’s Disease. For the full story and more BAREFOOT MEDIA PHOTOGRAPHY pictures, see pages 4 and 5.
Trees face chop By LUKE VOOGT THE Ocean Grove Community Association has expressed its concern for the town’s Grubb Road gateway, after a recent application to remove 150 trees. Community association president Michael Harbour said the application, if approved, could result in the removal of 600 metres of trees. “It changes the character of the main entry to Ocean Grove, which is beautifully treed on both sides,” he said. “It will make us look like any other suburb - where you drive by house after house.”
Shell Road Developments made the application to remove the trees for the future Kingston Village shopping centre. The main purpose of removing them, Mr Harbour said, was to build four entrances to the shopping centre. “Originally it was meant to be two but they’ve increased it to four.” Mr Harbour said there is no mention of replacement trees in the council permit application. The proposed tree removal, he said, went against provisions in the council’s Ocean Grove Significant Tree Project. “This flies in the face of that.”
Shell Road Developments managing director Jason Corless said his company had carefully designed the road access points with VicRoads and the Geelong council. “A landscaped masterplan has been developed for the precinct with careful consideration to the Grubb Road entrance,” he said. “The design of these access points takes into consideration the vegetation loss associated with the interim and ultimate duplication design for Grubb Road.” Mr Corless said future Grubb Road provisions would allow planting of

vegetation to complement the coastal environment and the Kingston Neighbourhood Activity Centre Precinct. The council first advertised the planning permit application on 7 July. Opportunities for public comment closed on 27 July. A number of trees were also recently removed on Grubb Road, north of the Oakdene estate. “The problem is if Grubb Road was duplicated they wouldn’t have to remove these trees because they would be in the median strip,” Mr Harbour said. Any trees Ocean Grove might lose
during a future duplication, he said, should be planned in advanced so they can be offset before construction. Mr Harbour said the community association would lobby hard for the duplication of Grubb Road during the 2018 Victorian Election. The council received two objections to Shell Road Development’s application. If a permit is granted, the developer would be required to offset the native vegetation loss in accordance with the planning scheme provisions, a council spokesperson said.

After 25 years, U3A is top class THE University of the Third Age (U3A) Active Listening to Music class has been operating in Ocean Grove for 25 years. The group held a 25-year anniversary concert at St Peter's Anglican Church Hall in Ocean Grove to celebrate, with about 60 in attendance. Four Order of Australia Medal recipients were in attendance: Marget Hughes, Wendy Galloway, Dr Malcolm John and Val MacKenzie. Margaret has been the tutor of the group since 2005, ably assisted by Malcolm and Anne. Past and present class members enjoyed a fabulous concert performed by Wendy Galloway OAM (violinist), Vicky Hallett (clarinet-
tist), Dr Malcolm John OAM (pianist and vocals), Anne Pilgrim (pianist), Val MacKenzie OAM (vocals) and John Hanan (vocals). In the early days the class was held in people’s homes and, when numbers began to increase, it moved to St Peter’s where it has remained, and now has 60 members. U3A Geelong was established in 1986, beginning with 190 members. It now has 922 members, 62 voluntary tutors, and 94 classes. In 1990 several classes commenced on the Bellarine. At present, classes are held in Portarlington, Queenscliff and Torquay, as well as in Ocean Grove. The concert was followed by a luncheon at the Ocean Grove Hotel.

Carjacking chase “A 72-year-old man, home at the time of the aggravated burglary, was not injured. “The offenders have stolen the Volkswagen Tiguan SUV, registration 1HL 8EU, from the driveway and a short time later Highway Patrol members have sighted it travelling west on the Bellarine Highway, Leopold. “Numerous police members followed the vehicle before setting up stop sticks in Marcus Hill. The driver drove over them and later onto the wrong side of the road before police terminated the pursuit. The offenders then drove toward the woman’s white Nissan SUV, registration 1CM 6HV, at 11.15pm as she drove east on the Bellarine Highway. “The Ocean Grove woman pulled over to the side of the road to avoid the vehicle and four men then forced her from her car,” Victoria
Police said. “She was not physically injured during the incident. “The quartet then fled towards Geelong in her Nissan, which was later found burnt out on Valley Side Drive, Lovely Banks, about 50 metres north of Daffodil Court.” Detectives believed the men were now travelling in two vehicles stolen from Torquay and Lara. “The first vehicle, a white 2006 Subaru Station wagon with registration WEZ 728, was stolen from a Torquay residence overnight on 19 July. “The second vehicle, a black Ford Territory with registration ZKO 762, was stolen from a Lara residence about 3.45pm on 20 July. “The Territory was later seen that day at a service station on the Midland Highway, Bannockburn, at 5.45pm where fuel was stolen.”

A 30-YEAR-OLD Ocean Grove woman was the victim of a carjacking last night. Four men allegedly stole two vehicles from separate victims and led police on a chase across the Bellarine Peninsula. The night of drama left one of the victims, a 30-year-old woman, unwilling to “participate in any media” after the men allegedly force her off the road, Victoria Police said. Police were investigating the “series of incidents” yesterday after finding her vehicle burnt out at Lovely Banks. They believed the men were now on the loose in two other stolen cars seen around Geelong. The incidents began about 10.30pm when the men broke into a house in Raglan Street, Queescliff, and stole keys to a Volkswagen parked in the driveway, Victoria Police said.

For Long Tan veterans, silence speaks volumes
Bomber's book a blast with buyers FORMER Geelong premiership winning coach and Essendon premiership player Mark 'Bomber’ Thompson was in Ocean Grove on Thursday 28 July.
Thompson was at Bookgrove on The Terrace to sign copies of his new book 'Bomber: The Whole Story’. A long line snaked around the the corner at least 15 min-
utes before Thompson was due to hit the Grove. People were eagerly awaiting the AFL champion’s appearance. Copies of his book were being snapped up by locals who were eager to have it personally signed.

AT precisely 3.42pm on 18 August, Ocean Grove Park will fall respectfully silent. Ocean Grove Barwon Heads RSL Sub-branch will be honouring our Vietnam War veterans with a ceremony at Ocean Grove Park Cenotaph. This year a series of commemorative events will mark the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. The Battle of Long Tan took place on 18 August 1966. It was the most costly single battle fought by Australian soldiers in the Vietnam War, involving 105 Australians and three New Zealanders from D Company 6RAR and more than 2000 enemy troops. A total of 17 Australians were killed in action and 25 were wounded, one of whom later died of his wounds. D Company was greatly assisted by an ammunition resupply by RAAF helicopters, close fire support from New Zealand’s 161 Field Battery, together with additional artillery support from the Australian task force base at Nui Dat, and the arrival of reinforcements in APCs as night fell. “On the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan we honour and commemorate all those who served in Vietnam, including the 521 Australians who died and more than 3000 people who were wounded, injured or became ill as a result of the conflict,” Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Dan Tehan said. “Our Vietnam War veterans made great sacrifices for their country and this year, the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan, is an important opportunity for all Australians to acknowledge their service and sacrifice”. The Ocean Grove Barwon Heads RSL Subbranch’s ceremony will begin at the cenotaph at 3.42pm (the exact time of the first shot being fired in the Long tan conflict) sharp after an assembly at 3.30pm.

LIGHT OF DAY
MORE than $20,000 was raised when Ocean Grove rocked for Parkinson’s during two nights of sell out shows. The third annual Light of Day Australia shows featured more than 20 artists including regular Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band saxophone player Eddie Manion, a reunion of Chris Wilson and Diesel, Mike Rudd and Spectrum, Mark Lang of Skipping Girl Vinegar and Evangeline. The shows were held over two nights at the Piping Hot Chicken and Burger Grill, the Driftwood Cafe and the Olive Pit Deli. Light of Day Australia chairperson Richard Grimmett said: “To see the Light of Day Winter Gigs become a sellout success in just three years is fantastic.” A highlight of the shows was the increased awareness about Parkinson’s disease. The shows raise money that is equally split between the Shake It Up Foundation and the Light of Day Foundation. Parkinson’s is the second most common neurological condition only to Alzheimers in Australia, and the organisers are working to secure long-term funding from government to reflect that. Strong collaboration between Parkinson’s organisations in Australia prompted Parkinson’s Australia CEO Steve Sant to travel from Canberra especially to be and speak at the shows. Richard said: “This means that more people will understand Parkinson’s Disease and increased aware-

ness will surely lead to increased funding and much-needed specialist home care, seriously lacking in Victoria.” Other musicians rocking out included Steve McEwan and the Yesmen, Dave Wright and Midnight Electric, Sarah Carroll, Luke Legs, Craig Horne and Friends, Gallie, Victoriana Gaye and Jeff Raglus, Sassy Soul Sisters, Ukulele Carnivale, Wayne Heard, Andrea Robertson and Friends and Brooke Allen and Sam Walsh. “This is about far more than great music; it is about funding and provision of specialist care for people with Parkinson’s in their own homes, like my mum and dad. It is
Surfing Vic and Bellarine Audio. The Saturday night show was wrapped up when Eddie Manion left halfway through a rocking Dave Wright and the Midnight Electric Show in the Driftwood and crossed the street to the Chicken Shop to join resident closing act the Bash Big Band for three Springsteen songs, including the anthem to the shows - Light of Day. A surfboard kindly donated by a couple of generous locals was also raffled and won during the event along with other prizes. Next year’s shows will be on 21 and 22 July.

about the cost of Parkinson’s to the community increasing as 32 people are diagnosed in Australia per day,” Richard said. Richard said that the Light of Day Australia organisers are immensely grateful to the those that came along and supported the event, the musicians who generously donated their time to perform at the shows and the sponsors which included KYO, Ocean Breeze Dental, Southern Bay Brew Co, Bellarine Memories, Barwon Grove Holiday Rentals as well as Airstream Annie, Top Cat Signs and Designs, Creative Force, 4D Surfboards, Oakene, Grove Books, Paxton Press, Sea Road Ferries, Coastal Kombies, Home Hardware,

Focusing on younger vets OCEAN Grover Bernard Clancy is an acclaimed playwright, author and journalist and his latest venture is all set to go next month at the Potato Shed in Drysdale. Mr Clancy’s riveting stage play about post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Foxholes of the Mind, premiered at La Mama theatre in Carlton to virtually sold out audiences in 2010 and it had a profound effect on veterans, wives and families and was widely acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. This 2016 production is an updated version of the original play. “I originally wrote Foxholes because I wanted to highlight the tragedy of PTSD, to try to stop the terrible
waste and destruction of the human spirit that PTSD entails,“ Mr Clancy said. “But after talking with younger veterans over the past few years, I came to the shocking realisation that the PTSD problem is getting worse ... much worse. I needed to include the voice of the younger veteran, to highlight the cry for help from our young men and women who served in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. For this reason, I rewrote Foxholes to include the voice of the younger vet. It’s a compelling and somewhat frightening – story. My fellow Vietnam veterans have a great empathy with younger vets for they are our sons
and daughters, this year being the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan, and while we ‘honour the dead’ we also ‘fight like hell for the living’. And that’s what Foxholes is all about: caring for those who come home from conflict, in our name, with wounds of the mind. Politicians must sit up and take notice.” Clancy is a member of Ocean Grove/Barwon Heads RSL subbranch and vice-president of the Geelong and District Vietnam Veterans Association. Clancy is also author of the acclaimed Vietnam War novel Best We Forget, a sardonic, powerful account of a bizarre war, laced with black humour and savage brutality. It has been
described by readers as ‘Australia’s Catch 22’. “They (politicians) must understand that to commit a young Australian to war may well be a sentence to a lifetime of pain, stress and anguish. They must be able to say that they would do the same to their child as anyone else’s,” he said. “If the play prompts just one vet with PTSD to seek help, then I’ll be very happy, indeed.” Performances are on 9, 10, 12, 13 (7.30 pm) and 14 August (matinee 3.30pm). Bookings are now open. For further details, go to www.facebook. com/foxholesofthemind.

Squad celebrates new rooms COAST Watch Radio and Marine Rescue Squad unveiled its new rooms in Ocean Grove recently. The new rooms were about two years in the making - from the time the club had the initial idea to the time the opened. It was a group effort by the members who fund-raised and volunteered their time as well as the generosity of local business who donated their time and materials. Businesses that assisted were Bellarine Plaster Products, Barwon Timber, Walker Builders, Wynndean Holiday Resort, City of Greater Geelong, Insight Electrical and Data, Tobias Sheehan concreting and excavation, Dulux and Bunnings. The opening was in conjunction with the squad's annual general meeting, and barbecue to celebrate.
The rooms were named the Barry Joyce Clubrooms after the current president Barry Joyce who has been part of the club for more than 20 years and has contributed countless hours to the construction of the room and day-to-day running of the club. Coast Watch is a Volunteer Rescue Squad, initially started in 1975 by a group of fishermen and divers for the purpose of assisting each other while out at sea. Due to the continual manning of radio communications they were able to be advised of weather conditions, mechanical breakdowns and emergencies. Today the membership consists of mainly recreational fishermen, divers and charter boat operators. The squad operates from a site close to the Ocean Grove boat ramp and is able to be on the water very quickly.

BELLARINE Secondary College Year 9 art students have sculpted ceramic native animals of the Bellarine Peninsula for display as garden art pieces at the Bellarine Secondary College and Bellarine Landcare Group Nursery in Drysdale. Richard Weatherly, renowned wildlife artist and conservationist, unveiled the ceramic sculptures at a luncheon at the nursery last month. Richard commended the students for exercising their skills of observation in producing the 20 fauna species which are now on display in the nursery garden. Sixty people turned out to observe the unveiling and to welcome new nursery co-ordinator David Heath to the role. “It’s great that the students are learning about our local fauna and the importance of indigenous plants as habitat to support them,” David said. “Indigenous plants also provide a uniquely local flavor to the Bellarine - by planting them you are conserving our indigenous flora while helping our native fauna - the two go hand-in-hand.”

Glen, the activities co-ordinator, made sure all the residents were in attendance. Lizzie Coyne was on keyboard and Len Neagle on drums.
There was lots of clapping and singing along. Peter Syracoski, the Melodaires new 'roadie’, was there to assist with the group’s equipment and sound system. The Melodaires meet regularly for rehearsals. Alan Wilson, director, insists on a quality show not only for audiences to enjoy but also for the performers. Lorraine Wilson looks after bookings.

Speedsters given a street bin rubbish reminder OCEAN Grove residents are being urged to help make streets safer by having ‘Life Saving’ stickers pasted to their garbage wheelie bins. Australia is on track in 2016 to equal the number of pedestrian fatalities recorded in 2015 which grew for the third consecutive year. The Australian Road Safety Federation (ARSF) has extended an initiative it hopes will reverse the statistics and ensure a decline in the number of deaths and injuries. The large stickers, which feature life-size images of children stepping towards the road and speed limit signs, are designed to provide a strong visual road safety reminder to motorists. The images are based on research which found that signs that depict motion resulted in faster reaction times and increased vigilance among would-be drivers, which could ultimately lead to faster stopping times. Use of the stickers in other Australian states has seen over 5000 distributed and applied to wheelie bins throughout the country. So powerful is the campaign, some councils are buying them in bulk to make available to residents.
It’s hoped that weelie bins like these will help motorists pay attention while driving. 157328
The ARSF now wants more residents in Victoria to get on board. “Between January and May this year, 67 pedestrians were killed on Australian roads. If trends continue, the number could reach or even exceed last year’s number of 165,” ARSF CEO Russell White said. “Drivers need to be sent a reminder that is visual and available to them when they are on the road,” he said. “The ‘Life Saving’ sticker campaign provides a real-time reminder to motorists to reduce their speed. “If someone is exceeding the speed limit, we hope these stickers will prompt them to immediately slow down. Even small changes in vehicle speed can have a dramatic impact on stopping distances.” Of the 67 pedestrians killed so far this year, seven were under 16 years of age. Residents interested in purchasing a sticker for their bin can contact the ARSF hotline on 1300 723 843 or email info@australianroadsafetyfoundation.com to arrange to purchase stickers.

RICHELLE Olsen believes a person’s size should be no hinderance to being active. Ocean Grover Richelle runs a hiking group for plus-sized women, called Escaping Your Comfort Zone. “I’ve created a community where plus-sized women can meet women like themselves,“ Richelle said. “I’m trying my best to flip long-held beliefs that only skinny, fit people can get out and enjoy our amazing outdoors. It doesn’t matter what size you are, or how fit you are, there’s other women just like you who are just itching for the opportunity to explore too. No level of fitness is required, its slow paced, and we never leave anyone behind." The group meets four days a week in Ocean Grove, Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula and dogs
are welcomed on the hikes. The Ocean Grove session is on Thursdays at 7am. “It doesn’t matter what size or shape you are, whether you are wearing a brand new pair of leery leggings, or your 20-year-old fave trackies," Richelle said. “We have all faced enough judgement in our lives. This is a chance for women to be themselves, and to feel comfortable in their own skin. “We spend too much of our lives worrying about what we should eat, how we should look, and feeling not guilty for going to the gym. “I’m turning that around to move the focus from weight loss and fitness, to simply friendship and fun."

Our Coast Facebook page is now up and running and you can register for the community consultation days; read about the research and stay up to date with the upcoming community engagement activities facebook.com/ourcoastvictoria/
Ocean Grove Coastcare's annual general meeting will be held on 18 October, so that’s a while away yet. But there are other organisations with AGMs that you're encourage to drop in to, particularly if looking for an opportunity to volunteer (as well as join us at any time). – Ocean Grove Coastcare oceangrovecoastcare@gmail.com
Finding new limits THE Barwon Heads planning boundaries are now under review and the local community needs to be actively engaged. The moratorium on the current structure plan has passed and the City of Greater Geelong has started to review the village’s borders. I strongly encourage the Barwon Heads community to be aware of the upcoming consultation process and get involved in the important stakeholder forums to be announced in August. There is significant interest from developers looking to build around the Barwon Heads area and obviously real estate agents will show interest in the potential subdivisions for new building growth. Residents in the area have long enjoyed controlled growth within the current boundaries, which is unique to Barwon Heads and provides the ambience and liveability of a village not spoilt by excessive expansion. It is important that, as major stakeholders, residents also become involved in the consultation process before planning decisions are made that may change the amenity of Barwon Heads forever. – Simon Ramsay MP

Banding together THE Queenscliff Music Festival is ready to roll with a second line-up announcement, raising the stakes yet again in celebration of its 20th anniversary event. Adding to a line-up - which to date boasts Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals, Paul Kelly and Charlie Owen, Peter Garrett and The Alter Egos and many more – the second announcement features the reunion of legendary Australian band george, who will reform to play their first shows in 11 years. Featuring songs from their classic No 1 album Polyserena, the iconic Brisbane band will come together for an exclusive 20th anniversary performance at the 20th Queenscliff Music Festival, marking a double birthday celebration. Bringing the mischief and laughs are musical comedy trio The Doug Anthony Allstars, fresh off the plane from their UK tour with new show Near Death Experience and featuring Paul McDermott, Tim Ferguson and Paul Livingston (Flacco). Pierce Brothers featuring twins Jack and Pat, bring their dynamic folk energy to the festival to perform
songs from their Top 10 Aria Chart EP, Into The Dirt, and Melbourne’s troubadour son Jordie Lane returns from his new home in LA with a new record and his mighty new band The Sleepers. The new announcement also includes the rockin’ Gabriella Cohen, the hammockswinging sounds of Bobby Alu and The Palm Royale, nuwave brass band Bullhorn, delightful diva Kira Puru, dark country troubadour William Crighton and the raw and powerful Tullara. They join acts announced as part of the first line-up - Alpine, Urthboy, Ash Grunwald, Abbe May, Nattali Rize, Kylie Auldist, Quarter Street, Julia Jacklin and The Meltdown. The music fest is ready and set to throw its biggest party yet this 25 to 27 November, and in a few short weeks the festival will make a third announcement of six new international acts to join the line-up. Music fans from everywhere are poised to kick start the summer festival season as the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula comes alive with over 80 local and international acts performing

Stretch your legs among the sights ST Leonards has some incredible walks. Here’s one that takes walkers through coastal vegetation and woodland to discover some hidden natural sights. It takes about 50 minutes to complete and is about 3.4km in length. Starting at the Beach Road car park, meander along a very level path through a beautiful forest of coastal tea-tree and wirilda (a type of wattle). The forest canopy provides protection, food and shelter for the diverse and abundant birdlife. Bats also roost along here in the cracks of branches. After about 1km, the walk leaves the forest to reveal wonderful views of water-filled marches and Swan Bay. The salt marshes and dune vegetation in this area create a unique habitat for wildlife.
This habitat is very precious as it has largely disappeared from the rest of Port Phillip Bay. The track turns left, passing through a little more woodland before crossing a boardwalk that sits above a large lagoon. The glasswort shrubland visible around the lagoon provides food for the critically endangered orange-bellied parrot. The lagoons are not tidal and during long dry spells they can dry out, leaving a hard salt crust on top of the mud. Waders from all around the world arrive in this area during the summer months to feed in the saltmarsh, before returning to their northern homes to breed. Swallows and other small birds show off their acrobatic skills catching insects in mid-flight. Hairy spinifex and sea rocket is abundant along the coast.

A catamaran ferry used by Port Phillip Ferries.
Sell-out success for ferry on trial By LUKE VOOGT THE sold-out Portarlington ferry embarked on its maiden voyage for Docklands on Friday, much to the delight of travellers. John Rae and Geoff Henderson have been working for nine years to bring a ferry to the peninsula and announced its first passenger trial last week. There were a number of Ocean Grovers on the vessel on Friday morning. “We are absolutely delighted by the public support,” Mr Rae said. “We needed to fill this ferry to show the owners and the government that
there is a need for it – and we certainly did that.” Tickets sold out in just 14 hours leaving a large waiting list, Mr Rae said. He anticipated another trial in the next two weeks. “The excitement in town is just amazing – everyone is ringing me wanting tickets,” he said. “This is another positive step towards gaining a ferry service to operate between Portarlington and Docklands.” Mr Rae said the ferry had been identified as ‘number one’ from hundreds of projects listed by Portarling-
ton residents nine years ago. He said the ferry didn’t have commuters on board, as it couldn’t depart until 10.30am due to its commitments at Wyndham Vale. “But that has always been our aim, to have a commuter ferry running in the morning and back at night.” Four hundred people travelled from Portarlington at 10.30am, reaching Docklands in 88 minutes, Mr Rae said. He said Port Phillip Ferries, which owns the vessel, is working with the State Government to make the trip faster. “If speed restrictions lifted on parts
of the slow area, they would be able to take 15 minutes off the 88.” As well as giving residents a route to work, Mr Rae said the ferry could encourage people to visit the Bellarine’s “lovely wineries and restaurants”. Combined with the State Government’s commitment to a $15 million safe harbour in Portarlington, he said it could encourage more people to move to the Bellarine. “When that is completed the government wants to have 100 berths in there - I think it’s just endless opportunities.” Unlike daily trains to Melbourne, Mr Rae said, each passenger is guaranteed a seat by law.
“There are 400 seats and 400 lifejackets,” he said. “They can use the wi-fi if they wish, have a coffee and not have to stand up as they do on overcrowded trains.” Essendon chairman Paul Little, who runs Port Phillip Ferries, said the trial phase was scheduled to conclude in August. He said the company would make a decision with the State Government later that month and that early signs for Portarlington were encouraging. “Wyndham, on the other hand, has been disappointing as solid demand needed for a regular service has not been there.”

Balmy days in Darwin
Brahminy kite.
Rufous owl at Darwin Botanical Gardens. was able to identify as a spiny-cheeked honeyeater. Thanks to everyone for their interest in birds and their observations. Highlights of Darwin included: Seeing a magnificent rufous owl (eating a fruit bat) at Darwin Botanical Gardens. Swimming in one of the very cool water holes at Litchfield National Park. A day trip to Kakadu - what an incredible place to visit. A very regal brahminy kite posing for me on the last day just when I thought I may not see one at all. Undertaking an organised birdwatching tour through Luke of NT Bird Specialists - thoroughly recommended! Luke’s knowledge of bird
· · · · ·
calls and habitats and bird behavior was amazing. Finally laying eyes on a wimbrel and beach stone curlew - among the approximate 40 new birds that I saw. The numbers of black kites up there - if Tippi Hedren was in Darwin she would be hiding in a phone booth and screaming from all the numbers of black kites. If a raptor a day keeps the doctor away then I’ll be right for 10 years. Don’t forget if you would like to partake in organised birdwatching, you can check out the activities run by Birdlife Bellarine Peninsula at http:// birdlife.org.au/locations/birdlife-bellarine-peninsula Happy bird watching to all. – Jen Carr, jennifer.carr6@bigpond.com

BARWON COAST Barwon Coast is a Committee of Management appointed by the State Government with responsibility for the management of 13km of coastal crown land from 7W Collendina to 42W Blue Rocks, Barwon Heads covering our beautiful beaches in Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads and 13thBeach. Our Committee members are local residents appointed with consideration of the skills and experience that they have to offer in the management of this important piece of coastline. OUR COAST - planning together for our changing coastlines The Our Coast project has produced a technical report detailing how areas along the Bellarine Peninsula and Geelong could be impacted by climate change under various scenarios. The project has an extensive community engagement focus and is supported by the Victorian Government, the City of Greater Geelong, the Borough of Queenscliffe and local committees of management, including Barwon Coast. A series of open houses and community workshops in each of the areas identified in the report will commence at the end of July. At these events, community members can learn more about the data and its implications, and provide input into future planning initiatives. Our Coast project will be in Ocean Grove for open house info day to be held at the Shell Rd Pavilion, Wednesday 3rd August 2-8 pm. Go to the link below for more info and to register Our Coast facebook page is now up and running and you can register for the community consultation days; read about the research and stay up to date with the upcoming community engagement activities. https://www.facebook.com/ourcoastvictoria/ WEED REDUCTION: Over the last few weeks and for the coming month or two, Barwon Coast has and will be undertaking extensive woody weed removal along the Ocean Grove – Collendina foreshore adjacent Ocean Throughway. Barwon Coast Staff, Conservation Australia Volunteers and our Green Army Team have been involved in this significant work to maintain and improve the indigenous plant species biodiversity. The primary woody weed removed has been Polygala a South African species that is particularly invasive in coastal areas. It is a woody shrub up to 2m height and the most effective and efficient way to remove it is stockpile the cut plants onsite for burning at a later date. Consequently small fires will be periodically visible along Ocean Throughway. Staff are present at all times and have to hand a firefighting pump unit to ensure the burn offs are under control at all times.

CYLINDERS BEACH ACCESS – 31W BARWON HEADS Barwon Coast is continuing to work on options for access from the ‘Cylinders’ car park down to 13th Beach. Costing and design work is progressing and a funding application to the State governments Coastal Environments Program (CEP) – Public Access and Risk is currently underway. The last round of the CEP program provided the funding for the removal of the old access and for the planning of the replacement facility. The site of the old staircase, lost late last year, is still active and presents almost insurmountable problems for re-building on the same site. All other options are being investigated including funding possibilities for those options. Barwon Coast knows it is a popular site and have received input from stakeholder groups supporting a replacement access in some form. We will continue to work toward the best outcome possible and to also keep the community updated as planning progresses. Gary McPike General Manager

I HAVEN’T been around Ocean Grove for a few weeks, having holidayed in Darwin, where the temperature was 35 degrees Celsius most days. I have noticed that there’s a lot of water and puddles around the Grove, so it must have been wet, as well as cold, in my absence. I must go for a walk in the Nature Reserve to see if there is any water in the West Track pond, which has been empty for months. I have noticed that many trees are being removed along Grubb Road in the past few weeks. I do hope that some habitat remains for animals and birds in the new estates that are cropping up. Thankfully I received some lovely emails from Ocean Grove residents over the past few weeks, so I have something to report. Allan from Woodlands wrote to me on 20 July to tell me that he had seen a flock of swift parrots at the Woodlands Estate. Swift parrots breed in Tasmania, and winter on the mainland, where they feed on nectar from eucalyptus trees such as the yellow gum. Swift parrots have a distinctive call, which is unlike the harsh call of other parrots and lorikeets, and sounds like sharp, musical, chattering. They are listed as 'Critically Endangered’, so it is great that they can be seen around Ocean Grove. Thanks so much Allan for your observation. I also received a lovely email from David, who also lives in Woodlands. He has had a lot of winter activity in his garden, including a tawny frogmouth, musk lorikeets, murders of ravens, yellow tail black cockatoos, currawongs, magpies, sulphur crested cockatoos, noisy miners, rainbow lorikeets, and a nesting family of grey butcherbirds. John and Ann from Ocean Grove also wrote to say that they had an unusual honeyeater in their garden, that I

David Pavia new surf club leader By MARK HEENAN INCOMING Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club president David Pavia joins a new look committee after the club annual general meeting was held on Sunday 24 July. Pavia, the club’s secretary for the last three years, replaced outgoing Ocean Grove SLSC president Steve Peatling, who will stay on as vice-president, at the AGM. The 56-year-old principal dentist said it was a honour to be elected as president. “I am honoured, but I am well supported by a very strong committee of management,” Pavia told the Voice. The father-of-three’s contribution in surf lifesaving dates back to 1976 when he achieved his bronze medallion and patrolled at Anglesea SLSC for three seasons. Pavia, a Geelong-based resident, has filled various roles in his nine years with the committee as vice-president, secretary and treasurer. “I dropped out of the sport until my children became involved almost 20 years ago,” Pavia said. “Since then my children have been involved in various activities at the club. “I suppose my passion towards surf lifesaving is I
David Pavia. 157188 think it is one of those things that gives young people coming through terrific life skills. “It gives them skills in first aid and teaches them to give something back to the community and I see the kids as tomorrow’s leaders in a way because of the skills they are developing.” His son Lewis HowellPavia is the current Ocean Grove SLSC vice-captain and club life saving operations officer. In other developments, new committee members include Nick Bohan, who fills the treasurer's role, while Lyndie Freestone is the new secretary. Gavin Mahoney takes on the junior activities manager position, Arne Solterbeck fits into a sponsorship and fundraising manager role, while Bec Sampson is the newly elected training and assessment representative.
Other additions include new facilities manager Vince Occhipinti and general member Peter Baxter. The Ocean Grove SLSC has also appointed a new club administrator after Michelle Jepsen stepped down from the role. Pavia thanked members of the outgoing committee including Chris Paterson, Scott McNaughton, Simone Bohan, Stephanie Asher, Greg Hill, Paul Scherf and Hayden Burch. “The incoming committee has the benefit of a greater amount of succession planning that is perhaps occurred in the past,” he said. Pavia conceded the next year would be an ‘extremely busy time’ with the club’s $4 million renovation building works to commence in 2017. “It is going to be a very busy 12 months, it will be busy as president, but with the building works it will be more involved than usual,” he said. The club’s re-development is jointly funded by State Labor MP Lisa Neville’s grant of $2.675 million and the reelected Federal MP for Corangamite Sarah Henderson’s pledge of $1 million. Ocean Grove SLSC has also raised more than $300,000 towards its
building works. “The building is one thing but the people are more of a priority, certainly housing them for what surf lifesaving has become in the community,” Pavia said. He indicated the growing popularity of its junior Nipper program meant club membership numbers would swell past 1000 within the next two years. Pavia said a ‘revamp’ of the club’s biggest annual fund-raiser – the Rip to River Classic – and its inaugural Ocean Swim Challenge this summer would be a focus. The new committee: President: David Pavia. Vice-president: Steve Peatling. Treasurer: Nick Bohan. Secretary: Lyndie Freestone. Club captain: Bill Strachan. Competition manager: Bruce Sampson. Social and lounge manager: John Fitzgerald. Junior activities manager: Gavin Mahoney. Sponsorship and fund-raising manager: Arne Solterbeck. General member: Peter Baxter. Facilities manager: Vince Occhipinti. Training and assessment: Bec Sampson.

Shield honours a true champion WHEN Scott Beyer lost his brave battle with cancer in April this year, he left behind two young children and his wife Corinne. Scott was just 31 years old and was a talented golfer, a member of Ocean Grove’s Senior Pennant team and was a past junior and senior club champion. Ocean Grove Golf Club decided it was not going to forget Scott and held the inaugural Scott Beyer Me-
morial Shield late last month. The event also incorporated the occasion as a fund-raiser for Scott’s charity Relay For Life. The club wanted to raise $5000, but ended up collecting $7068. John Filia won the shield and Dean Gills won the social journey. Club captain Alistair Bird and Alistair Grant organised the day and did a superb job.

The five per cent difference Women’s Div 1 Surfside Waves 1 vs Barwon 0 THAT extra five per cent effort makes all the difference. In a hard-fought contest, great football was played by both sides in another great game. Once again solid at the back, led by an excellent Madi Wilding, with Cath Sattler outstanding as sweeper mopping up the Barwon through balls and play making from the back, ably supported by hard working Indiah van Galen, super fast Emma Riley, the ever hard at the ball Neisha Pearson and then later our two Div 2 players, Emily Russell looking very accomplished at right back and Rose Evans, brilliant at left back. The strong midfield led again by captain Gina Murphy, with run from Lexi Pearson tireless Kate Elstone and the rotating wings, Allana Gillbee, skilful as ever, Faye Kendall creating and keeping possession, then Emma Riley, worrying the Barwon defence, plus the great skills and presence of Maddie Hill. Initially Steffi Wallace and Melissa De Bruin led the charge up front, but Steffi sustained an injury early on, so Alexis Pearson stepped up front. Chances were created by both

Waves kept it solid in the last 10 minutes to secure a welldeserved win. Women’s Division 1: Geelong 1 vs Surfside Waves 1 On a wet and windy afternoon in Geelong, both teams struggled with the heavy conditions, but played well considering.

Cath Sattler opened the scoring in the 11th minute, latching on to another Allana Gilbee great through ball and it looked like the Waves were on to a comfortable win. The backline were in great form again, controlled by the ever-reliable Jasmine Pickett, supported by a welcome return to Emma Riley, composed as ever, Mel De Bruin raising her game again, Neisha Pearson in the centre, first to the ball and bringing the ball out of defence on several occasions to start attacks. Madi Wilding in goal was
fully in control of her area. The midfield was in control for the vast majority of the game, led by cocaptain Gina Murphy marshalling the other players and play making, Kate Elstone using her prodigious pace to stop Geelong and also forage forward. The Waves wide midfielders gave plenty of width and endeavor - Faye Kendall on the right showing poise and skill, Indiah Van Galen working hard, then Maddie Hill brought her skill and experience to create several good chances before half-time, plus Steffi
Emma Riley was welcomed back after a lay-off through injury. 157463 Wallace as the impact player showed her speed and got herself into great positions. Alexis Pearson showed her pace and Grace Cotter from the Division 2 team enhanced the forward line to great effect. Geelong equalised with what was its only real chance to make it 1-all. Waves were then chasing the win and looked like they were trying too hard in the final third, and couldn’t quite close the game out.
Carpet bowls gets competitive INDOOR carpet bowls has made a return to the Bellarine in a competitive nature with a seven-week pennant competition hosted by Leopold Bowls Club. Leopold Bowls Co-ordinator Nicole Shortis along with Ocean Grove’s Bowls Coach and former Australian Indoor Bowls representative Matt Flapper guided approximately 35 new bowlers who took to the carpets for the first time. For Flapper, who has recently retired from national duties on the outdoor scene, generating the interest in the shorter version of the game is something he is passionate about. “When I moved to Ocean Grove I thought there was a massive opportunity to re-introduce indoor bowls, I know there are a few places around that play it socially but there was no competitive competition," Flapper said. The plans are in place for next year to make it bigger and better and start
their own Bellarine Indoor Bowls Association. Obviously Ocean Grove and Leopold have generated the interest and Flapper has recently introduced the game to Clifton Springs Bowls Club and also Bellarine Lakes Retirement Village. The support at both venues was terrific, about 25 to 30 potential bowlers showed an interest in the game so hopefully that will lay the foundation for a solid competition next season. In the debut season of the introductory pennant competition it was the team of Heroes and Zeroes which include three first-season players. Ocean Grove debutants Karen Morison, Julie Chapman, David Mackay joined forces with Leopold Skipper McMenamen as they proved too good against their Leopold opponents Maureen Callaway, Russell Morrow, Carleen Lear and Grace Maddalena in the final. Following on from this competition
Ocean Grove bowlers are now trialling the new Grubbers Football Club rooms on Shell Road for their own night of indoor bowls on Mondays. A great response from the members as well as a number of new members taking part has seen two weeks now with maximum numbers each night. Several Bellarine players have already experienced competition at the highest level with a number of participants experiencing State Championships in Melbourne over the past few weeks. Val Crumbie, Jane McMenamen, Nicole Shortis and Linda Flapper made it through to the semi-final stage of the Ladies Fours while McMenamen and Shortis went one step better to reach the final of the state pairs to only go down by a single shot on an extra end. If there are any clubs on the Bellarine interested in getting involved in indoor bowls contact Matt Flapper at Ocean Grove Bowling Club on 5255 1662.

Laidler’s fond farewell By MARK HEENAN OCEAN Grove team-mates gave retiring veteran Mark Laidler a fitting farewell after they upstaged Anglesea in their final home game of 2016 at Ray Menzies Oval on 30 July. The 32-year-old snared two goals in the first quarter of the Grubbers’ 14-point win over higher ranked thirdplaced Anglesea in round 17. Laidler, who played with GFL club Newtown and Chilwell from 2010 to 2012, made his Ocean Grove senior debut in 2001 and has played key roles in defence and forward at the Grubbers. Outgoing Ocean Grove coach Wayne Walsh said Laidler had made an enormous contribution to the Grubbers. “He has been very loyal to club, been a good player for a long period,” Walsh said. “Was great to send him off with a win. “Good memories for him.” Final scores Ocean Grove 12.7 (79) to Anglesea 9.11 (65). It was seventh-placed Grubbers' (who have a 7-10 record) first victory over a top five side in 2016. The home side kicked with a breeze at the southern end to set up an 18-point lead at quarter-time. Dangerous Anglesea forward Marcus Smith, who kicked four goals, was lively at times but opponent Patrick Maloney competed strongly alongside Grubber team-mate Kaiden Long. Ocean Grove held a 16-point advantage at half-time. The intensity of Ocean Grove’s tackling pressure was fantastic in the second half and allowed the Grubbers to increase their margin out to 32 points at three-quarter time.
“We really played for each other and went in with a plan and executed it really well,” Walsh said. The Grubbers always looked destined to win though visitors booted three goals with a breeze in the fourth quarter to reduce margin back to 14 points at the final siren. Walsh said it was a great win on the day Ocean Grove Football Club celebrated its 20-year reunion for the senior, reserves and under-18 flags of 1996. The Grubbers also held a reunion for its reserves and under-18 premierships in 2006. “Great win well deserved happy with consistency and four quarters,” Walsh said. “Good to see some real spirit, very young players playing some strong contested footy.” The Grubbers now face Queenscliff, who suffered a 106-point thrashing at the hands of BFL ladder leader Geelong Amateur in round 17, in their final game of 2016. Senior game starts this Saturday at 2.10pm at Queenscliff Recreation Reserve. Anglesea won a hard-fought contest by 11 points over a gallant Ocean Grove in their reserves grade match. Final scores Anglesea 12.14 (86) to Ocean Grove 11.9 (75). Ocean Grove’s reserves depth was boosted with senior regulars Daniel Freeman, who kicked three goals, and Brayden Warren both playing. Anglesea led at every change though the Grubbers stormed home with a fivegoal blitz in the final term to give the visitors a late scare. Ocean Grove has a 2-15 record after
17 rounds with one match remaining. Sixth-placed Anglesea, who has an 8-9 record, remains a strong chance to play finals with a match-up against fifthplaced Barwon Heads this Saturday. Both Anglesea and Barwon Heads will fight it off for the last remaining finals spot. In the under-18 Colts Division 2 clash, Ocean Grove 1 defeated Modewarre by 42 points at Community Bank Oval. Final scores Ocean Grove 9.12 (66) to Modewarre 3.6 (24). Grubber players Riley Maloney and Reed Jordan both kicked two goals for the visitors. In the under-18 Division 4 game, Ocean Grove 2 overcame higher ranked Geelong Amateur 2 by 69 points at Ray Menzies Oval on Saturday. Final scores Ocean Grove 14.5 (99) to Geelong Amateur 4.6 (36). Young Grubber Lachlan Slater snared six goals and booted 11 majors from his last three matches. Ocean Grove team-mate Craig Goodger, who booted one goal, was among his side’s best.

Grubbers lose thriller to Torquay on a damp reserve By MARK HEENAN TORQUAY escaped with a narrow three-point win over an inaccurate Ocean Grove in their round-16 BFL thriller at a damp Spring Creek Reserve on 23 July. Scores were level mid-way through a frantic last term before fast-finishing Torquay sealed the come-from-behind win in heavy conditions with a late goal in the final minutes. The Grubbers led for three-and-a-half quarters but a late surge from Torquay, who kicked three goals with a wind advantage in the final quarter, won the low-scoring contest. Final scores Torquay 9.7 (61) to Ocean Grove 7.16 (58). Ocean Grove coach Wayne Walsh said his side’s effort and intensity was fantastic, but admitted the Grubbers’ poor goal efficiency proved costly in the final analysis. “Yes we had plenty of opportunities to win,” Walsh said. “Goal kicking lost us the game. “Effort was where it should be each week.” Fifth-placed Torquay’s win virtually cemented a BFL finals berth with games against ninthplaced Portarlington and cellar-dwellers Newcomb in the final two rounds. Silky Grubber midfielder James Linton, who booted two goals, dominated with numerous centre clearance wins, while team-mate Patrick Maloney snared two majors. Ocean Grove youngster Mickijita RotumahOnus, first year Grubber Michael King and promising defender Matt Caldow all played outstanding games. For the home side, Torquay trio Alex Adams, David Allitt and Tyler Lovell all kicked two goals apiece. At the completion of 16 rounds, Torquay had an 8-8 record, while Ocean Grove was in seventh spot with six wins and 10 losses. Dangerous Grubber forward Daniel Freeman did not play, with a calf injury, while key midfielder David King (concussion) was unavailable.
In other news, Torquay Football Club president Steve Cooper apologised to Ocean Grove for the poor state of the Spring Creek Reserve surface during his half-time president's address. High rainfall along the Surf Coast meant the playing surface was covered in thick mud and excess water overlapped the boundary line forcing Ocean Grove coaching staff to relay its messages behind the interchange area. In the reserves grade, ladder-leader Torquay thrashed Ocean Grove by 125 points. Final scores Torquay 21.13 (139) to Ocean Grove 2.2 (14). Torquay pair Tom Cole and Michael Lewis both kicked four goals. Grubber veteran Wayde Piec and Sean Britt each kicked one goal for ninth-placed Ocean Grove. It was a much better result for the A Grade Grubber netballers after their stunning 43-38 upset win over the higher-ranked Torquay. In the under-18 Colts Division 2, it was a weekend off for Ocean Grove 1, with the bye. In the under-18 Division 4 game, the combined Bannockburn/South Barwon team defeated Ocean Grove 2 by 18 points at McDonald Reserve. Final scores Bannockburn/South Barwon 5.8 (38) to Ocean Grove 2.8 (20). Harry Dodds and Riley Kohler both kicked one goal apiece for the Grubbers.

Grubbers search for new coach By MARK HEENAN
1236747-HM31-16
OCEAN Grove Football Netball Club president Tony Potter believes the club is in a strong position to attract the best available senior football coach for 2017. Potter said outgoing coach Wayne Walsh’s decision on 19 July to stand down at season end meant the Grubbers had time and options choosing its next coach. In 2016, Ocean Grove will miss their first senior BFL finals campaign since 2010. “We are lucky in this point of time, to be (one of the) only clubs in the BFL, GDFL, and the GFL looking for a senior coach,” Potter said. “Anyone that wants a senior coaching gig at the moment the opportunities are limited within in our (region) area. “We are in a pretty good position.” The Grubbers have moved swiftly and appointed a three-person panel to select a new coach with a number of applicants applying for the advertised role. “There are three people on the panel (to select a new coach), and they are high profile people,” he said. “We will pick the best applicant for the job regardless if it is a non-playing and playing coach.” Applications close for the senior coaching position on Friday 19 August. All written applications must be emailed to ognfcpresident@gmail.com “We won’t be doing anything until the closing date when we have all applications in, then the panel will sit down accordingly,” he said.

midfielder James Linton is one of the last pieces in the puzzle yet to sign at the Grubbers in 2017. Linton in his first season at the Grubbers is one of the premier BFL onballers in the competition. The 25-year-old star midfielder is a favourite to take to out the 2016 Damian Clark Medal, Ocean Grove’s Football Club senior best-and-fairest award. Linton, a former GFL gun Colac midfielder, has featured in the Grubbers’ best a dozen times in 2016, recently moved to Ocean Grove after relocating from Jan Juc. “That is one benefit, that would make our job a lot easier I would have thought,” Potter said. He has kicked 23 goals from 16 outings in the red and white in 2016. Potter added that Linton’s signature for next season would bolster its playing stocks after a host of key signings in recent weeks. “We would be extremely happy (if he stayed on), as I say we are in negotiations with him at the moment and I am sure those negotiations will end well,” Potter said. “He is just in negotiations at the moment we are pretty comfortable where we are at with it.” Inspirational Ocean Grove captain Kelly Williams and star ruckman Andrew Jarvis have both re-committed to club for 2017. Key defenders Matt Caldow and Kaiden Long, Patrick Maloney, Brayden Warren, Michael King, Harry Walker, James Teague, Tom Hobbs, Daniel Freeman and Hamish Hoober all have signed on for next season at the Grubbers.
