Theft on the rise A spate of thefts from vehicles and homes in Ocean Grove has prompted calls for residents to be more vigilant. The number of residential burglaries and theft from motor vehicles has increased in Ocean Grove over the past four weeks. Five residential burglaries and 14 motor vehicle thefts have occurred in the area with nearly all of them occurring at night. The offences occurred on residential premises, houses under construction and holiday homes and motor-vehicle theft was most
prevalent in streets, driveways and carports of residential premises. There has been an increase in burglaries on houses under construction/renovation where power and hand tools have been stolen. Tradies are being urged to lock their tools away at night. Bellarine Police Senior Sergeant Sean Drew said the thefts appeared to be random. "They've been more opportunistic thefts and at this stage we don't believe it's targeted," he said. Senior Sergeant Drew recommended that
tradies ensure their work utes and trailers are properly locked at night. "It's about securing vehicles and not leaving anything of value inside," Senior Sergeant Drew said. "We're going to have proactive patrols in the areas that have been hit." Residents should park their vehicles in garages or behind closed gates. A senor flood light in the driveway where the vehicle is parked is a great deterrent to anybody loitering around.
Houses under construction should be secured correctly every evening and police have recommended that tradespeople should delay installing electrical house fittings such as dishwashers, instant gas hot water systems, stoves and air conditioning units until just before handover of the property if possible. The community is urged to dial 000 if they see anything suspicious. If you have any information regarding the offences, call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Elaine's medal haul By Justin Flynn Most Ocean Grovers known Elaine Janes as the 'owner' of Flapper, the town's resident celebrity chicken. But Ms Janes is also a champion weightlifter and at the age of 72, recently won a string of medals at the Australian, Oceania Masters and Open Master Championships. Ms Janes only took up the sport when she was 57 and had effectively retired two years ago, but was prompted to compete in the recent event because it was in Melbourne and wouldn't return for four years. Back in 2003, Ms Janes was promoting bocce for Club Italia at an expo in Geelong and she saw the weightlifting demonstration nearby. She strolled over, had a look and was hooked. "I never told a single person for eight months what I was doing," she told the Voice. "I was entering Vic comps and setting records, but never told anyone." Ms Janes weightlifting career has spanned five World Masters Championships, taking her to Greece, Cyprus, Poland, Italy and Darwin. "It's a long way to go to do six lifts and come home and it's a lot of money," she said. "But anything I make my mind up to do, I do it. "People say 'you're too old, you shouldn't be doing that', but my coach (Michael Torriero) would not let me go out there and make a fool of myself. I'm not too old." At the recent competition, Ms Janes won her age group competition. "I was in the mood, I was on fire," she said. "I retired from competition last year because I can't afford it - it costs a lot of money. "But I got talked into it because it was in Melbourne and coach Michael pushed me because I was lifting well. "It was good to be out there with the top Australian weightlifters after two years and wearing

the Australian uniform after five years." Ms Janes recommended weightlifting to anyone who is curious about the sport. "You do become addicted to weightlifting," she said.
"It takes a while to get the hang of it. It takes dedication and commitment. "It great for bone density and blood pressure and you not only make your body strong, it makes you mentally strong."

Dreaming big Drysdale teenager Emma Monoghan could only dream of singing in front of a crowd last year when the thought of school alone would make her vomit with anxiety. But she is regaining her confidence after making the finals of the Highton Rotary Star Search. "If someone had said to me last year, 'Go into the Star Search,' I couldn't have because I'd be too scared," the 15-year-old said. The thought of getting onstage never used to scare Emma in primary school. "Ever since I was little, if I was sad I would just sing," she said. "Singing has always been good therapy. It just makes everything good." But getting "left behind" when she started year 7 shattered her confidence. "Everyone thought I was a freak because I was shy," she said. "I ended up sitting alone - I didn't really have anywhere to go." The bullying worsened and eventually it caused her to take some time off last year. Her music tutor Chelsea Gibb encouraged her to enter the Star Search and sing power ballads in her jazzy voice.

Seamus, who has genuine ambitions on becoming a kayaking Olympian, said competing in the surf ski event with Bryce proved timely. "We were already pretty much in sync by doing the surf ski together," he said. "I just told Bryce to keep up with my stroke and he did. "I think when we crossed the finish line, I just said 'good job' - we were pretty stuffed." The pair have been training with Mick and Kate Leverett, both accomplished paddlers, of Paddle Life in Barwon Heads. Mick Leverett has been Australia's most consistent marathon kayaker for almost two decades. Both Seamus and Bryce said they would not have been able to qualify without the help of the Leveretts, Barwon Heads Canoe Club and Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club.

When best mates Seamus Spanner and Bryce Newton drove to Adelaide for the Australian Canoe Marathon Championships, it was more in hope than expectation. Only a few weeks earlier, Seamus' K2 partner, Joe Burton from Albury, had sliced his Achilles open and it appeared his dream of going to the World Championships in Portugal was over. But Seamus asked his mate Bryce if he'd like to at least give the K2 a go and see what happened. The 18-year-old Ocean Grovers then drove all the way to Adelaide for the championships with borrowed kayaks strapped to the roof of their car. Bryce had never even been in a kayak be-
fore, although the two are expert at the surf ski with Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club. On the Saturday, they both entered the K1 event, which Seamus won. Bryce only entered to get some practice for the doubles event the following day and came seventh. The race proved gruelling, but ultimately the pair came runners-up in the K2 event and were ultimately successful in qualifying for the World Championships in September. "It's pretty much the same skill set as the surf ski," Bryce said after his first time in a kayak. "My goal was to stick in time with Seamus as much I could. I was pretty much there just to hold on. "I've been given this really good opportunity."

Jolyon Simpson is about to paddle 53km between two islands in Hawaii against competitors almost twice his age. The 15-year-old Ocean Grover has qualified for the Under 29 event in the Molokai 2 Oahu Paddleboard World Championships on 29 July and will paddle between Molokai and Oahu and is the youngest solo entrant. Jolyon will represent Australia as a solo athlete and can't wait for the trip, but it will come at a cost. He received a new board for Christmas and the financial restraints of the trip to Hawaii are massive. Every entrant must have a chaperone boat for the 53km journey, which will cost around $2000 just by itself. Then there's airfares, accommodation and all the associated costs. "I got a new board for Christmas so I'm not getting anything for birthdays or Christmases for the next five years," he told the Voice. Jolyon paddled with Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club, but then became interested in marathon paddling. "I got on the board after doing a couple of endurance races and thought 'I could do this'," he said. Asked whether he felt nervous or excited about paddling in the open water in some of the world's roughest seas, Jolyon said "a bit of both". Jolyon would love your help to get to Hawaii. He has 1263 followers in Instagram and 756 Facebook friends and is open to any businesses wanting to sponsor him. "I'd love it if anyone could assist in merchandise and sponsorship and will endorse anyone by tagging them in my social media and endorsing a product wherever possible," he said.

Bank helps out RDA By Justin Flynn Riding Develops Abilities (RDA) received a cheque for $10,000 from the Drysdale branch of Commonwealth Bank recently. Barwon RDA is a volunteer organisation based in Wallington at Koombalah Park Equestrian Centre. It aims to enable people with disabilities throughout the region to experience enjoyment, challenge and a sense of achievement through participation in equestrian activities
to improve their quality of life, attain personal goals and develop life skills. Around 14,000 employees donate to the Commonwealth Bank Foundation, which then hands donations on to worthy organisations. The foundation is celebrating its 100th anniversary since beginning during WWI. "We're thrilled to be able to support organisations like Riding Develops Abilities Barwon Centre in the important work they do for our local community," Commonwealth Bank Dry-
sdale branch manager Ian Jervies said. "It's especially meaningful that we are able to celebrate 100 years of employee giving, by nominating an organisation to receive a centenary grant in our local community." Employees at Drysdale's Commonwealth Bank nominated Barwon RDA for the $10,000 grant. Barwon RDA plans to use the funds to update equipment and possibly a building program to improve its facilities.
The second stage of redevelopment at Bellarine Community Health's Centre at Point Lonsdale has been marked with a gathering of local dignitaries and community members. The Member for Corangamite, Sarah Henderson MP, joined Bellarine Community Health Board Chair, Margaret Belfrage and CEO Shane Dawson on a tour of the newly completed reception areas for the Community Health Centre and the Point Lonsdale Medical Group. Other guests at the event included, Borough Councillor Bob Merriman, CEO Lenny Jenner, and COGG Bellarine Ward Councillors Jim Mason. The completion of the second stage marks a milestone for the multi-million dollar redevelopment. The entrance has been reoriented to the opposite side of the building and is now an impressive modern frontage for the historic centre. "The new reception areas provide clients with comfortable surrounds and the new car parking at the front of the building has provided additional car spaces and improved accessibility," said BCH Chair Margaret Belfrage. "It's wonderful to see modern, functional facilities for communities on the Bellarine."

Man charged
Mayor Bruce Harwood (standing) with Bellarine councillors Trent Sullivan, Stephanie Asher and Jim Mason at the Ocean Grove forum.
Councillors quizzed Mayor Bruce Harwood and Bellarine Ward councillors Stephanie Asher, Jim Mason and Trent Sullivan were involved in a community forum in Ocean Grove recently. The mayor and councillors spoke to and took questions from a group of about 40 people at the forum, organised by Ocean Grove Community Association (OGCA) at Shell Road Pavilion. "It was a great opportunity to listen to the mayor and our councillors speak about the progress of the council since being elected," OGCA secretary Phil Edwards said. "Some of the major strategic planning de-
cisions that have already be made, the draft Budget 2018/19 and on their views on the Bellarine and the growth pressure across the Bellarine Ward were discussed. "Community members took the opportunity to put their questions and issues direct to the mayor and councillors on the evening. A broad church of questions and issues that were raised ranging from planning matters, actions and delays, safety, roads problems and new ideas. "We were hoping that a few more people could have attended the forum, however those who did attend indicated that it was worth-
while and that we should do it again." A bullet point summary of the question/issues can be read on the OGCA website at www. ogca.com.au. OGCA is planning to host another community forum in the lead up to the November state elections to offer community members an opportunity to meet and ask questions of all the candidates. OGCA meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 7pm in the Board of Directors room at Ocean Grove Bowling Club and anyone is welcome to attend. Email ogcommunityassn@ gmail.com if you are thinking of attending.
A Clifton Springs man will face serious driving charges over a crash that killed 16-year-old Barwon Heads girl Sarah Crimmins last November. Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives this week charged the charged 20-yearold Liam Davis with culpable driving following the fatal crash at Gellibrand on 11 November The man was driving a four-wheel-drive on Frys Road just after 2.30pm when he allegedly lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle then rolled, killing rear-seat passenger Sarah. Her 18-year-old sister, Louise, sustained minor injuries as the front-seat passenger during the crash. Mr Davis, who was Louise's boyfriend at the time, also sustained minor injuries. He allegedly had backyard repairs done to the car and chose to have the brake disabled rather than repaired before the crash, Newscorp reported yesterday. Victoria Police mechanical investigators found the failed brake probably contributed to the fatal crash, Geelong Magistrates' Court heard on Wednesday. A magistrate granted him bail this week due to his age, clean criminal record and the fact he had a stable job and address. He will reappear at Geelong Magistrates' Court on 20 July.

CHICKEN DOG: Heather Gallagher with the new book and her own "scaredy cat", Pip.
A big scaredy cat words kept playing around in my mind.” The words and her dog’s anxiety inspired Heather to develop her look-and-find-style picture book, in which a little girl asks readers: “Have you seen my Scaredy Cat? He’s afraid of this and afraid of that”. Readers then looked for a tail or a paw or other parts of the animal in each spread until the scaredy cat was finally revealed, Heather explained.

Council has endorsed an updated design concept for the Drysdale Town Square, clearing the way for major design work to begin. The redevelopment will remove ageing infrastructure to create a more attractive and inviting space for the local community. It provides for an expanded Woolworths supermarket and new speciality stores fronting Wyndham St, along with improved seating, an alfresco dining space, new surface treatments and tree planting. Access for pedestrians and people with a disability will also be improved. The updated concept was produced following community consultation during 2016 and 2017. "The pleasing thing about this design is it's been shaped by community feedback, and ensures the current country 'town square' feel will be retained," City of Greater Geelong mayor Bruce Harwood said. "I'm looking forward to seeing the community utilise the improved space once it's completed." In response to feedback, the design now incorporates: A new rotunda within the town square, replacing the existing rotunda, which has fallen into disrepair Retention of at least four car parking spaces at the entrance to Wyndham St A disability taxi space An informal play space Retention of established trees wherever possible

Hooray for hoodies The endangered hooded plover has beaten the odds this year, with six chicks surviving on the surf beaches stretching from Point Lonsdale to Breamlea. The six hoodie chicks that survived this season are now old enough to fly and are more able to avoid predation. This year's achievement is remarkable, considering how challenging it is for chicks to survive to fledging. There are currently only around 570 hoodies left on the south east coast. Hooded Plovers are an endangered species, and are protected under the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 and the Federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. "Hooded plovers are a rarity along the Great Ocean Road and the Bellarine Peninsula, which makes protecting these little birds a very high priority," City of Greater Geelong Environment and Sustainability Chair Sarah Mansfield said. "It is fantastic to see that our educational campaign and the tireless work of BirdLife Australia volunteers has been rewarded this year. By providing temporary fencing and signage, constructing wooden teepees and enforcing dog regulations, it was enough to give these endangered birds a better chance of survival." "A big thank you to beach users who helped make this season a success by observing signs and giving the hoodies their space." Hoodie breeding pairs lay up to three eggs in the sand from late August, and incubate them for four weeks until they hatch. Once born, chicks are unable to fly until they are five weeks old and must feed themselves, foraging for sand hoppers and other invertebrates along the water's edge. Hoodie chicks can travel up to 2km from their nesting site in search of food.

Nippers celebrate season Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club Junior Nippers celebrated their end-of-season-awards presentation day in fine style. The club's outstanding Nippers were crowned State champions at the Life Saving Victoria Junior Championships held at Warrnambool in March. Up to 150 people attended the awards ceremony including enthusiastic Nippers, age group managers, coaches and family members to recognise its state achievement honour and individual accolades during the 2017/18 summer held at Shell Road sports pavilion. The OGSLSC clubrooms were unavailable with works commencing on its multi-million dollar building renovation which began earlier this month. Ocean Grove SLSC is widely considered one of Victoria's most popular and busiest surf life saving clubs - the recent summer saw more than 100 participants regularly compete at state junior carnivals. Ocean Grove SLSC Surf Sport Coordinator Shane Bird praised former Junior Activities Manager Scott McNaughton - who has worked tirelessly to support the club junior surf life saving surf education development program. Bird said McNaughton's long-term vision in 2013 helped oversaw Ocean Grove SLSC's Nippers transformation as the best in Victoria in 2017/18. "I still remember sitting at Warrnambool around the firefox five years ago ... .and Scotty was saying 'We can win this thing'," Bird said in his speech. "I just looked at him and said mate 'you are absolutely mad' ... .'there is no way we can compete with these bay clubs' (from Melbourne). "'We just simply don't have the numbers ... yes we were great in the water but we were just blown away (in) the beach (events). "Scott had that vision back then five years ago and we just slowly progressed and developed and that was driven from there.

"What we achieved this year didn't happen by accident, it started five years ago."

Plastic-free catching on More than 100 local residents have already shared their thoughts about the upcoming removal of free single use plastic bags in Coles and Woolies, through Ocean Grove Coastcare's five-minute survey. The online survey is open at www.surveymonkey.com/r/LKCCQM2, and the group is hoping to receive a wide range of responses before it closes on 8 June. "We are really pleased to see so many people taking the opportunity to share their views, and we look forward to seeing what the community is thinking about the change to 'bring your own bags'," said OGCC's president Margot Busch. "It has also been great to see Ocean Grove Real Estate giving away free Enviro bags to shoppers in the lead up to 20 June, when free bags will no longer be provided." When the survey closes, a random draw will see three respondents win prize packs worth $100 each. The Coastcare group will aim to respond to some of the common questions and comments arising through the survey in the next edition of the Voice. In the meantime, Coastcare has been keenly following the work of the Ocean Grove Business Association, which has been researching alternatives to single-use plastic packaging. While some businesses will await a bulk-buy opportunity for those alternatives, others have already made the move away from plastic. One of those businesses is Rolling Pin bakery which earlier this year replaced disposable plastic plates with reusable bamboo ones for customers eating in store. The Parade Espresso Bar is using compostable cups for takeaway coffee, along with giving 50c when the customer brings in their own 'keep cup'. "We are also investigating metal straws for in-house drinks and paper ones for takeaway drinks," Eugenio said.
Eugenio Houston from The Parade Espresso Bar.
Sophie Anderson from Uncle Jack's. "There has been quite a move away from plastic straws, with Uncle Jack's cafe, Driftwood and the Beach House Lolly Shop all having changed to paper straws a while ago," said Margot Busch. "This will be a huge benefit to our ocean environment." While most people now know that plastic bags are harmful in the environment, a lesser known fact is that plastic straws are one of the most common items of litter found on beaches and in waterways. They are not recyclable and are as harmful as plastic bags to marine life when mistaken for food and swallowed. See more information about straws at www.laststraw.com.au.

A standing ovation was given to Ocean Grove SLSC Training and Assessment Manager Bec Sampson on the night who won the coveted John Bishop Memorial Best Club Person Award. Club lifesaver and competitor Gabby Hannan was presented with the Barry Renton Memorial Best Competitor Award from Ocean Grove SLSC life member Dave Renton. Wesley Prosser was awarded the Fred Leiper Memorial Best Patrol person after clocking up more than 115 hours as a volunteer patrol lifesaver in 2017/18, while Amalee Freestone won the Bob Millett Memorial Lifesaving Improvement Award. IN other club developments, Ocean Grove SLSC president David Pavia is hopeful next year's end-of-season annual awards presentation night will take place at the club's newly redeveloped building. The demolition of the existing club building occurred in May with Ireland Brown Construc-
tions appointed as the builder. The Ocean Grove SLSC multi-million dollar re-development will be Ireland Brown Constructions fourth working alongside a foreshore after their previous project work at Fairhaven Surf Life Saving Club, Portsea Surf Life Saving Club and Frankston Yacht Club. "The Ocean Grove Surf beach building development is progressing well with Ireland Brown Constructions," Pavia said. "I hope that the next presentation night will be held in the OGSLSC clubrooms. "Demolition of the old building was quite quick, but given its light weight construction, that was to be expected. "Working on sand poses some unique challenges for the builders and the pace of works will be dependent on weather conditions and other factors."

The final curtain was drawn on another successful senior season with the Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club annual presentation night on Saturday 26 May. The popular end-of-season awards ceremony for 2017/18 was shifted to Ocean Grove Bowling Club to accommodate the current Ocean Grove SLSC building re-development. Around 150 people attended the club's night of nights - it was the first time in more than five years the Ocean Grove SLSC senior presentation was not at its main premises along Surf Beach Road. "The Bowls Club was very accommodating and a terrific venue and local DJ Slav was a real hit," said Ocean Grove SLSC Social Manager Amenah McDonald, who helped organise the night. Ocean Grove SLSC president David Pavia said it was a fantastic season across all parts of the club. Ocean Grove SLSC were crowned champions at the Victorian Surf Life Saving State Championships for second year in a row following its success at Apollo Bay in March. Outside surf lifesaving competition the club logged more than 5000 volunteers patrol hours with 220,000 visitors heading to Ocean Grove beach across the season. Significant challenges were faced with the clubroom building demolition works while the club's major fundraiser the Rip to River Classic was postponed until 18 February after extreme heat forced the race to be cancelled on 6 January. "The OGSLSC has had a great season across all aspects of club life," Pavia said. "Our core mission is to keep the beach safe and we logged over 5000 volunteer patrol hours." Awards were given to outstanding club individual performances following the Aussies Surf Life Saving Titles at Perth-based Scarborough Beach in Western Australia in April.

A bird's eye view of the footy Budding young Ocean Grove photographer Josh Lange captured this picture from his drone last weekend. Josh sent his drone up above Ray Menzies Memorial Oval during the Ocean Grove vs Drysdale football match.
LETTERS Ulcer information scattered I read with interest the accounts of Buruli ulcer in the Bellarine and Mornington areas of Victoria. Buruli ulcer is an uncommon but occasional condition that has affected several tropical and subtropical areas in the past. The available information regarding the management of this condition is scattered, not widely written up in peer reviewed medical journals and often relates to distant times and places. However, some of these older findings may be useful for the residents of Victoria. Buruli ulcer commonly occurs in association with freshwater areas, which may have increased in extent at the time of the Buruli ulcer occurrence. In the 1960s there was an outbreak of Mycobacterium ulcerans infection (Buruli ulcer) in Uganda, possibly associated with a change in the rainfall pattern and distribution of wetlands, either permanent or seasonal swamps. Buruli ulcer was very common in some areas close to the River Nile and caused extensive disease in the badly affected areas. The UK's Medical Research Council (MRC) ran a research project involving Dr David Barker working as an epidemiologist (1). Among his studies was one involving 170 Tsetse control officers and their families (2). A botanical
marker in the affected areas was the presence of a prominent and readily identifiable grass, Echinacloa pyramidalis (which also occurs on Australia). In Barker's study the residents lived in a number of small camps, without electricity or running water within a mile of the Nile. Many of them walked from their huts to the Nile, which they used as a source of water and for other domestic and recreational purposes. Dr Barker recruited a medical assistant, who informed, through meetings and by word of mouth, the tsetse control workers, their families and others living in the area, about the early or pre-ulcerative stages of M. ulcerans infection. The infection almost always presents as a relatively painless skin nodule, which persists for some weeks, before ulceration of the overlying skin takes place. In all 45 cases of M. ulcerans in the tsetse control group were identified among this small population. Those with possible early and pre-ulcerative Buruli lesions were encouraged to have them excised by a surgeon who visited the area every few weeks. After excluding other possible causes of skin nodules, (ganglions, insect bites, sebaceous cysts), the suspect lesion was completely excised under local anaesthesia at or close to the patient's residence and the defect sutured. The excised specimen was sent for histology and for
specialised mycobacterial culture. These examinations invariably confirmed the diagnosis. Healing took place by primary intention and no ulceration occurred. Antibiotics were not used. This was a small nonrandomised control study and there was no longer term follow up. Although this was not a favourable area for a primary health intervention, this project showed that a community-awareness of the early pre-ulcerative stages of M. Ulcerans prevented ulceration with all its subsequent human, medical and financial costs. It would suggest that a similar intervention, involving heightened community awareness of the early disease stages, combined with early preventive surgery, might be of some benefit is those parts of Australia currently affected by the recent outbreak of M. ulcerans infection.

FREETIME
THE VOICE GUIDE TO ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
Home to country with dad Ilbijerri Theatre Company presents Which Way Home - the heartwarming dramedy of an Aboriginal girl, her much loved ageing dad and their road trip to his birthplace. It's his return home to country, where the sky is higher and the world goes on forever. Two Black faces in a very white suburb.Tash and her dad journey from Ipswich (Yuggerah Country) to Goodooga (Muriwarri Country) learning new things about each other along the way. They experience moments of hilarity and annoyance as the trivial become exaggerated within the four doors of a car. Which Way Home draws on writer Katie Beckett's personal memories of growing up with her single Aboriginal father. Her mother died when she was just five years old, leaving her dad to raise three children. He also lost his sister, grandmother and mum all within the space of a month. "The reason I wrote Which Way Home was because I love my dad. That's it. It's truly that simple. I'm daddy's baby pie. He still calls me that by the way and I'm 34 years old," Katie Beckett, who plays the role of Tash, said. "It wasn't an easy time but he did it. He is a loving, wonderful, strong man. I have had a lot of wonderfully strong and emotionally in tune, generous men around me growing up and I was wondering why don't I see the Aboriginal men that I grew up with represented on stage, on TV, on film?". Beckett is a previous recipient of The Balnaves Foundation Indigenous Playwright's Award. Which Way Home is directed by Rachael Maza, actor and writer Beckett plays Tash and her Dad is played by Kamahi King.
Katie Beckett plays Tash and her dad is played by Kamahi King. Beckett's television acting credits include Redfern Now and The Marshes while her stage credits include This Fella, My Memory (Moogahlin Performing Arts); Impossible Plays,
Pull My Strings and I Will Play for You, Wrong Skin (Next Wave Festival); Winyaboga and To Soothe a Dying Pillow (Andrea James) and her film credits include Oakie's Adventure,
One More Time and Blackground. She is also a founding member of the Cope St Collective. Which Way Home will be performed at The Potato Shed, Drysdale, on 16 June at 8pm.

THE LOCAL GUIDE FOR DINING ON THE BELLARINE
Cellar door gets revamp One of the Bellarine Peninsula's oldest wineries underwent quite the transformation last year, revealing their newly renovated cellar door. Set among the vineyards on the sprawling Scotchmans Hill estate, special attention has been given to the experiences created for visitors, including the spectacular views, exciting wines on tasting, diverse and immersive private wine experiences and the perfectly matched light lunches and platters. Scotchmans Hill's focus has always been on beautiful artisan wine made with honesty and a commitment to excellence, and the new tasting room was recently named Best Large Cellar
Door for the Geelong region in the 2018 Gourmet Traveller WINE Cellar Door Awards. To get to the new tasting room visitors enjoy a leisurely drive up a winding driveway, past the old winemaking facility and through the vines. With amazing views across Port Phillip Bay to Melbourne, the new venue features an open al fresco area for warmer days and a superb fireplace to keep guests warm in winter. Scotchmans Hill offers a strong focus on quality wine and quality service, where guests can take part in a comprehensive tasting, buy wine by the glass or bottle and are encouraged to sit down and enjoy the atmosphere.
BLUE MOUNTAIN
INDIAN RESTAURANT PH 5255 3100
If you're feeling peckish, Scotchmans Hill's kitchen offers light lunches and platters boasting fresh, locally sourced produce and desserts that pair beautifully with Scotchmans Hill's award winning wines. Settle in and enjoy an afternoon appreciating the picturesque winter sights on the property; golden days, fields full of glistening red, orange and yellow leaves and crisp, fresh air. Chief winemaker Robin Brocket, who celebrated his 31st year of winemaking at Scotchmans Hill this year, is very happy to see the local wine and region growing and gaining recognition. "We're excitedly watching Geelong and the
Bellarine Peninsula emerge and gain recognition as a premier wine and food destination. With wonderful makers, growers and produce, fantastic restaurants, wineries and breweries the region has it all," says Robin. From wine novice to connoisseur, Scotchmans Hill's knowledgeable, passionate and friendly staff take visitors on a journey with fun and informative tastings that give guests a deeper understanding and enjoyment of what is in their glass. The Bellarine is no doubt a perfect destination for food and wine lovers alike, and Scotchmans Hill is another gem in the peninsula's crown.

THE LOCAL GUIDE FOR DINING ON THE BELLARINE
Juicing it up By Justin Flynn Ocean Grove Fruit and Juice Crew is proudly local. When owners Darren and Carolyn Gregory took over Ocean Grove Fruit and Juice Crew in the Trak Arcade, they always had a vision to open a juice and soup bar. "From the day we bought the business, a juice and soup bar has been in our plans since day one," Darren says. Ocean Grove Fruit and Juice Crew isn't just fresh juice and soups, though. There's jaffles, smoothies, wraps, sandwiches, desserts and ice cream. "We're aiming for locals and pricing it accordingly," Darren says. "We're always running lunchtime specials and the jaffles are really starting to take off. "If you're an office worker or a tradie, we
want you to know that you can come in and get a good lunch for less than $15." "We need the tourists because they help us survive over winter, but our focus is on local people," Carolyn says. All the ingredients are sourced from the fruit shop next door. Gluten-free soups are homemade and only premium produce is used in the jaffles. The couple have an organic farm at Connewarre and use as much of the produce from there as they can. All staff are local, too. All soups come with a bread roll or sourdough toast and in summer, try and walk past the Timboon ice cream out the front. We bet you can't. Next time you're at Ocean Grove Fruit and Juice Crew, ask about a loyalty card.

ENVIRONMENT
Out and about in autumn Late autumn is a wonderful time of the year, especially when there are clear, cool, sunny days, when it's great to be out and about. Unfortunately I haven't had a lot of spare time to go exploring around the Bellarine, so luckily I've been able to report some expert bird-spotting from Voice readers. When I have been out driving I have seen some great raptors. In Curlewis I had a close encounter with a white-bellied sea eagle. Unfortunately it saw me before I saw it, and I didn't manage a photo. I cursed myself for missing an image of such a majestic and enormous bird; I think I was so shocked to see it at such close quarters that I neglected to position the camera. In my favourite little pocket of soon-to-be housing estate in Curlewis I've seen wedgetailed eagles, little eagles, a white-bellied sea eagle, brown falcons, brown goshawks, blackshouldered kites, whistling kites, an Australian hobby, nankeen kestrels and black falcons over the past few weeks. Awesome! I had an (unsuccessful) quick drive to Bannockburn to see if I could spot the elusive owlet nightjar, and I did see nine Australian nankeen kestrels between Lethbridge and Bannockburn, which was lovely. I think I've had a raptor party the last fortnight, which is always a good thing. A raptor a day keeps the doctor away, so I'm fit as a fiddle. I was driving home from work one day when my daughter rang to tell me that she'd seen a wedge-tailed eagle flying around the corner of Wallington Road and Thacker Street. I was very proud that my daughter could identify the bird, but I suppose she's been brainwashed about birds from a young age, and when I drove past the area the wedgie was souring at a low height through the trees on the hill overlooking Lake Connewarre. What a sight to see such a majestic bird in the Grove. Thank you Meg for your expert spotting skills. I was hanging out the washing in the backyard on the weekend and heard a raptor call,

and saw a Collared Sparrow-hawk in the next door neighbour's gum tree. I was able to go inside and grab the camera and take a few snaps before it flew away. I had a very quick walk through the Ocean Grove Nature Reserve on Sunday morning to see if I could find some flame robins. I did see a whistling kite and a few silvereyes and red-browed finches, but not much else. Kevin
Teasdale and John Sharp have been spotting some lovely birds at the Nature Reserve lately, and you can check out their observations on the Friends of the Ocean Grove Nature Reserve Facebook page at www.facebook. com/groups/34794023030/. I have seen some flame robins at Marcus Hill along Banks Road, and at Curlewis, but I just haven't got close enough for a decent image of the handsome
male flame robin. John has also photographed some bassian thrush and pink robins in the Otways, and these observations can be seen on Facebook at the Bellarine Birders Facebook page, found at www.facebook.com/ groups/148410262481777/. Speaking of decent images, Denis Sleep and the Bellarine Birdlife Group spotted a flock of around 20 gang-gang cockatoos around the Paraparap area. The gang-gang cockatoo can be seen throughout many parts of south-eastern Australia. In the summer months they are usually found at higher elevations, where they breed in tree-hollows in the moist eucalyptus forests. After breeding has finished and the weather cools,and shorter, they move to lower altitudes to spend the autumn and winter. The beautiful adult male has a scarlet red head and crest, with the rest of the body a dark grey plumage colour. The adult female has a dark grey head and crest. I've received an email from Ocean Grove resident, Geoff, who spotted a tawny frogmouth at the Ocean Grove Park, on President's Avenue. Geoff was fascinated by the complete stillness and camouflaging abilities of the bird, and he was able to take a close up image. Thanks so much for the observation and image Geoff. I've never seen a tawny in the busy Ocean Grove Park so it will be interesting to follow up if the bird makes some repeat visits to the park. I've also received an email from Kevin, who has visited Swan Bay jetty at the end of Swan Bay Road, and also Queenscliff, where he beautifully photographed a crimson rosella, as well as white-faced heron, chestnut teal, crested pigeons and superb fairy wrens. Thanks Kevin for your lovely images and observations. Enjoy the winter weather and hopefully some gang-gangs will visit the Grove. -Jen Carr, jennifer.carr6@bigpond.com

SPORT
Strong efforts from Storm It was a wonderful night for the Bellarine Storm junior boys program with the Under 12s and Under 14s all putting together strong performances. The 12 1 boys kicked it off with an impressive victory over Geelong at home. After a slow start to the game for both teams the Storm boys were able to build and maintain a lead throughout the game coming away with a 3426 victory. This performance was backed up by the
Under 12 2nd and 3rd teams, the former dominating a shootout with Ivanhoe-Darebin and the latter squeezing out a road win over Craigieburn to leave both groups on the second rung of their respective ladders. The Under 14 1s ensured they weren't to be outdone by their younger clubmen, dominating Sunbury on the road to maintain their perfect 7-0 start to the season. The Jets struggled to find an avenue to the basket while the Storm boys scored with apparent comfort running
out 59-23 winners. In a completely opposite type of game the 14 2s were forced to come from behind against Westgate after taking some time to get out of the blocks. Once they clicked into gear however, the Storm boys were able to mow down Westgate's lead and come away with the points. In a much improved performance the 14 4 boys were unable to notch their first win of the season going down in a heartbreaker to Broad-
meadows by the narrowest of margins. In other results the Under 18 2 boys recorded their first win of the season on their road trip to Tigerland, while the 21 boys demonstrated what great ball movement can do belting McKinnon 60-29. The 14 1 girls defeated a more fancied Hawthorn team to rise into the top five while the 14 2 girls and 16 2 girls inflicted further pain on their winless opponents with powerful team performances.

Jayden Pickett was impassable at full-back, Hayes Webber showed poise on his wing and Noah Collins was dominant in the Ruck.UNDER 11s Cobras Blue 7.7 (49) def by Jumping Joeys 8.7 (55): Another tight contest saw our boys play some great football. Our run and spread opened up the game and the ball was taken by end to end by both teams. Awards: Gus McCartney, Will Cunningham, Ash Blount and Tiger Turnley. Cobras Orange 4.6 (30) def Torquay McMahon 3.2 (20) Cobras White 8.4 (52) def Bell Park 3.3 (21) UNDER 10s Cobras White 5.5 (35) def by South Barwon Red 9.10 (64): Another slow start in a cold first quarter before the boys warmed up in the second and thirds quarters. Highlights included Alby twice taking on the South Barwon defence for two terrific running goals. Awards: Joel Butler, Bohdi Hately, Michael McGuane, Joel Prato. Cobras Orange 4.6 (30) def Jumping Joeys 0.1 (1): The boys worked hard this week on contested pressure, which forced the Joey boys to turn the ball over very easily and moved the ball well from the back half. Awards: Zac Casamento, Henry Belser LeBel, Hunter Marsh, Taj Dodson. Cobras Blue 4.2 (26) def By Barwon Heads 7.8 (50) UNDER 9s Cobras Red 3.4 (22) def Torquay Shearer 3.0 (18): Friday night under lights saw Cobras Red hold off Torquay in a good close contest. Hard play from Emmett Haxby saw him shoot out handballs all night to running players in Archie McCallum and Ryan Tolley. Finn Shannahan and Raimond Bernazolli who got clear for great team possessions and are improving each week. Cobras White 3.0 (18) def by Grovedale Deans 7.8 (50): The boys started well in the sunshine with two goals from Izak kicked two in the first, breaking last week's drought, and continued to play great football all day with improved effort and skill. Best players: Billy, Augustus, Grant and Xavier. Cobras Allan 9.5 (59) def Lara Christensen 6.5 (41) Cobras Blue 4.2 (26) def by Modewarre Harvey 4.5 (29) Cobras Orange 0.2 (2) def by Torquay Grossman 9.8 (62) ROUND 7 UNDER 13s DIVISION 1 Cobras 8.7 (55) def Ammos Hickey 6.1 (37): Cobras started poorly possibly due to the early 9am start but after halftime improved their intent on the ball. Lachlan Allan was sensational of the half back line. Brayden Lewis-McLaughlan and Blake were tireless in the centre. Will Irwin smashed his wing and Billy Haywood
Ocean Grove Collendina Cobras had a great game of footy against Flying Joeys. The Cobras were beaten, but not disgraced and fought hard right until the final siren. (Picture: Damon Carr Photography) was in and under. DIVISION 3 Cobras 7.9 (51) def Ammos Farrell 3.4 (22): After a slow start and a quarter time blast from the coach the boys recovered to score a strong result against the ladder leaders. Jarrah Hay was attacking off half-back, Monty Juffermans-Goodluck showed poise and confidence and Cooper Brown showed plenty of dash and carry. UNDER 11s Cobras White 3.0 (18) def by Torquay McMahon 10.4 (64): The Cobras were no match for the speed and skill of Torquay but there were some bright passages of play. Lucas Anderson played a controlled match across the back line while Lachlan Morrow again dominated clearances and link up play. Dane Greaves was a strong marking option up forward booting all three goals while Axle Kerr played pressure footy on the wing. Cobras Orange 5.7 (37) drew with Cobras Blue 5.7 (37): Strong start from the Oranges had their noses in front but the Blues would not relent. A tight contested game between many mates at the Snake Pit, and in the end they could not be split with the scores tied on the siren. UNDER 10s Cobras White 1.1 (7) def by Geelong West Orange 12.9 (81): Our boys were slow out of the blocks and faced a big deficit at quarter time. We played with good intent from then on and the score didn't really reflect the state of the game. Kai crashing a pack and Jonah standing under a high ball to take a courageous mark were some of the highlights. Cobras Orange 7.5 (47) def Cobras Blue 2.6 (18): The boys started very well in the middle with great pressure and ball use to push forward. It was pleasing to see the forwards finish off the hard worked and they were backed up by strong tackling and teammates hitting targets for a great four-quarter performance. Awards: Keegans Johnson, Lenny Honner, Kye Frankens, Flector Ward, Hector Fleet. UNDER 9s Cobras Blue 1.0 (6) def by Leopold Graham
7.9 (51): The team showed considerable improvement over the game against good opposition. Players continued to work hard on what was asked of them. William Wallace had clean skills under pressure. Archie Heenan took many marks while Nate Anstis and Finn Sheahan vigorously attacked every ball that entered their area. Cobras White 0.0 (0) def by Drysdale 10.5 (65): On a perfect morning for football, captains Rolfs and Johnson led White into battle, defending well in the first quarter. In the third quarter the team continued to defend and increased tackle intensity. The Whites were complimented for a 'never give in' attitude but Drysdale proved too strong. Awards: Will, Zac, Henry, and Hardwick. Cobras Allan 3.1 (19) def by Leopold Ruggles 6.8 (44): A competitive game and the team fought back after a slow start. Lucian Joyce played an exceptional game, sharing the ball around and was awarded our best and fairest player by the Leopold team. Awards: Max Kempton, Jasper Day, Ewan Millard, Xavier Hanson. Cobras Red 4.3 (27) def St Mary's Doherty 2.0 (12) Cobras Orange 0.2 (2) def by Torquay Ashley 8.4 (52): Led out by captains Teddy McCartney and Cooper Levis our boys battled hard all game against a more experienced Torquay Ashley. Teddy was pivotal in the ruck and Cooper provided some great spark in the forward line for his much anticipated debut. Award winners were Kai Russell and Billy Rodgers who didn't stop chasing all day. ROUND 6 UNDER 13s DIVISION 1 Cobras 4.5 (29) def by St Mary's Rodgers 10.13 (73): In a terrific contest the Cobras competed all day and the scoreline didn't reflect the contest. Will Irwin won his wing, Lachlan Allen and Blake Hodgson were a welcome return after injury and were in the best player. DIVISION 2 Cobras 3.4 (22) de by North Shore 10.4 (64): Despite having plenty of ball in the forward line we unable to hit the scoreboard. James
Barry was gallant in defence repelling many North Shore forward entries. Awards: James Barry, Riley Hynson, Jackson Stephenson and Daniel Lamprecht. DIVISION 3 Cobras 2.2 (14) def by Winchelsea 3.6 (34): In a tough match at Winch the boys held strong for a 10-point win. Harry Rolf in his first game was dominant at CHB, Oliver Kristapsons gathered possessions at will and Ted Farrell was strong up forward. Great result. UNDER 11s Cobras Blue 4.8 (32) def South Barwon Red 1.4 (10): In strong running game between two competitive sides, the ball was carried end to end by both teams. We were able to defend effectively and hit the scoreboard when we had control. Awards: Tom Snowden, Slater Hatfield, Noah Waterman and Noah Leske. Cobras White 10.7. (67) def Lara Hynes 2.2 (14): A focus on high pressure footy and sticking to the game plan allowed us to get the win. The game was highlighted by Angus Derham's determination. Jarvis Lindsay showed his intent from the first bounce as Tyler Bishop had a breakout game. Lenny Allen was rock solid in defence. Cobras Orange 5.1 (31) def by Ammos Grose: A strong effort from the Oranges on a big ground against big-bodied opponents. The boys finished with a strong last quarter with plenty of voice but Ammos were just too good on the day. Awards: Mitch, Ben Cirillo, Sam Eales, and captain Hamish McDonough. UNDER 10s Cobras Orange 5.2 (32) def by Ammos Adams 5.5 (35): The boys played well against a bigger team, turning around a slow start with some amazing passages of play in the second half, falling short by a narrow margin.Awards: Koby Carlesso, Cooper Reilly Oscar Kerr, Zac Casamento. Cobras Blue 6.4 (40) def St Mary's Davie 1.0 (6): Outstanding team performance sharing the ball by hand and foot to bring a teammates into the game. Although we could have given out 16 awards for their effort. Special mentions: Tom Teague, Jack Vose and Harrison Wilde down back. Cobras White 2.7 (19) def by Bannockburn Tigers 4.3 (27): Another very competitive game for our team at the Snake Pit. The boys strung together some great passages of play again with terrific field kicking. Awards: Aiden Berriman and Jenson Constable (captains), Phoenix Day, Sunny Bohnke. UNDER 9s Cobras Red 3.0 (18) def by Ammos Walsh 4.8 (32): Ammos have been beating all comers but Red played a spirited game to lead at half time thanks to a great snap from Reeve Cruishank and goal-saving run down from behind tackle from Emmett Haxby. Only late goals in the last quarter from Ammos saw them kick away. Cobras White 1.2 (8) def by Leopold Graham 6.9 (34): Captain Rohan led and defended strongly, Joshua came off with an egg. In the second half Leopold piled on the pressure in the forward line and the cobra back line did a great job of minimising the scoring. Hunter found the goals in the last. Awards: Josh Anderson, Grant, Vose and Fuller. Cobras Allan 1.0 (6) def by Drysdale Hawks 9.6 (60): Captains Albie Reid and Liam Staehr played well and James Carty played his best game for the season (filling in for the opposition). Hawks jumped us in the first quarter then we fought hard all day with a pretty even final three quarters. Awards: Liam Staehr, Miller Wellard, Hayden Campbell, Arie Strode. Cobras Orange 3.3 (21) def St Mary's Collins 1.3 (9) Cobras Blue 9.5 (49) def Lara Kelly 1.2 (8)

Best: Emma Simpson, Rachel Mercer, Bree Abel Round 8 vs Drysdale A Grade (58 defeated Drysdale 23) The girls were back in fine form, with a number of changes meaning that Drysdale had to compete against a full Ocean Grove side.

Best: Dannie Hoiles, Michelle Williams, Elyse Howard B Grade (56 defeated Drysdale 24) Was good to see the girls get their mojo back following the bye, with a convincing win over Drysdale.

Hawks cause huge upset By Mark Heenan Drysdale caused a boilover by upstaging an inaccurate Ocean Grove by 13 points at Ray Menzies Memorial Oval on 26 May. The loss was a blow to the Grubbers' top three aspirations. Second-placed Anglesea (6-2) and Geelong Amateur (6-2) in third spot recorded wins in Round 8, which meant they went a game and percentage above fourth-placed Ocean Grove (5-3). Drysdale led from start to finish. It was the Hawks second win at Ocean Grove in less than 12 months. Drysdale thrashed the Grubbers by 10 goals in their Round 13 clash last year. The win snapped a six-game losing streak for Drysdale - it was their first victory since 31 March. Drysdale coach Wade Chapman described it as a confidence boosting win for his players. "Ocean Grove has been a good side this year," Chapman told the Voice. "Just with (our) guys they are pretty competitive too - we had a good win first game and then we have had six losses and thought enough is enough." Chapman said it was great for his players to learn from star Grubber trio James Linton, Luke Cartelli and Jake Carmody. "Linton, Cartelli and Carmody down forward are dangerous players and really clever and played a lot of footy - so it is good for our young group and learn off that too," he said. Drysdale jumped the home side with its high intensity start to lead by 14 points at quarter time. Ocean Grove kicked three goals in the second term and reduced the margin back to seven points at half time. Despite the absence of key Drysdale quartet Josh Eddy, Kyle Davis, Jack Jenkins and Josh Hopgood - the Hawks did not let up after half time and went in with a 17-point advantage at

Drysdale's pressure was a major feature in its win. 181431 the final break. Ocean Grove failed to convert opportunities at goal and booted an inaccurate 1.5 in the fourth term with Drysdale's pressure and effective defence forcing the home side to make errors and create turnovers. Drysdale recruit Rob Corden-McKinley won many centre bounce contests against gun Ocean Grove ruckman Andrew Jarvis, named best on ground in the BFL Interleague win over Wimmera on 19 May. "Rob Corden-McKinley is one of our Melbourne recruits and (he) was looking forward to the challenge during the week," Chapman said. Grubber forward Jake Carmody was one of
the few contributors - he finished with four goals, while Matt Caldow slotted through two majors. Star Hawk forward Mathew Hebbard kicked three goals while team-mates Lane Sharrock and Ben Johnston each both kicked two goals apiece. Ocean Grove defender Glenn Campbell took no part after half time with a cut lip. Grubber Kelly Williams did not play and was a late withdrawal with a hamstring after being named in the side. IN the reserves grade, Ocean Grove continued its winning ways recording its fifth consecutive victory with a stirring eight-point win over Drysdale.
Final scores Ocean Grove 6.11 (47) defeated Drysdale 5.9 (39). The Grubbers had to do it the hard way after a goalless first quarter. Despite trailing by 13 points at half time Ocean Grove jumped in front and led by two points at the last break. Ocean Grove playing coach Cheyne Kelly booted two goals for the home side.

Reality check for Grubbers By Mark Heenan Ocean Grove's mid-season fortunes hit a fork in the road after a demoralising 42-point loss at the hands of Modewarre on Saturday 2 June. The away defeat at Mount Moriac Recreation Reserve was the Grubbers second loss in a row after Drysdale scored a 13-point victory over Ocean Grove on 26 May. Final scores Modewarre 12.17 (89) to Ocean Grove 6.11 (47). Ocean Grove remains fourth on the ladder with a 5-4 record. Three Grubbers suffered concussion in the seven-goal loss. Youngster Isaac Wilkins was taken to hospital after being knocked out in the third term. Forward Travis Gavin and Jahd Anderson both left the field with concussion in the fourth quarter which reduced the Grubber rotations late in the game. Defender Kaiden Long injured his calf at training and did not play, while ex-captain Kelly Williams (hamstring), Paddy Maloney
(shoulder), Corey Walter (AC joint) and Nick Lynch (knee) are sidelined. Ocean Grove coach Paul Lynch said the loss was a concern amidst a rising injury toll. "That's concerning we could lose all three of them (Wilkins, Gavin and Anderson) next week," Lynch told the Voice. "I am not sure with concussions ... we will be guided by what the doctors think - health comes first before footy obviously. "We have got some problems internally both on the field and off the field with injury and we will just have to re-group and hopefully fight through this patch." Lynch said there were no excuses for the Grubbers poor kicking which he described as a catalyst behind its form slump. "We are just not kicking the footy well at the moment - that is our main problem," Lynch said. "We are just turning the footy over at crucial parts of the ground and it is getting worse
every week we have got to get better at that that's the main thing." Modewarre playing coach Josh Finch was damaging early and peeled off half-back to drive the ball forward. "We tried to have a plan for Finch but it didn't work - he cut us to pieces," Lynch said. The double act of Warrior key talls of John Meesen and Nathan Ablett, both former AFL players, helped their side get first use of ball against an overworked Grubber ruckman Andrew Jarvis. The home side continued to dominate the second term with forward 50 entries, if not for inaccurate goalkicking they would have been further in front after kicking 6.12 at goal by the main break. The Grubbers competed better in the third and fourth quarters with a minor increase in skill execution - and broke even on the scoreboard after half time."At least they listened at half time but we spoke about it before the game and how we want to set up and they just
didn't set up how I wanted them to," Lynch said. Defender Harry Walker played a lone hand and showed some good signs across half back. Sharpshooter Jake Carmody and Travis Gavin both finished with two goals. Lynch expects sixth-placed Modewarre, which defeated Ocean Grove in last year's elimination final, to be a finals challenger at season's end. "I thought their run and spread was exceptional - they way used the footy sideways and linked up and they kicked the ball really well," he said. In the reserves grade game ladder leader Modewarre snapped Ocean Grove's five-game losing streak thrashing the Grubbers by 112 points. Ocean Grove Under 19s recorded a comfortable 47-point win over Modewarre in their Division Two Bendigo Bank Cup match. Tom Ryan finished with three goals.
