Green belt farmed out

By Chris Brennan CHANGES to state planning regulations have cleared the way for extensive commercial development within Melbourne’s green belt, including “massive” hotel, convention centre and residential complexes in some of the city’s most environmentally sensitive areas, a planning expert has warned.

Professor of planning at RMIT university Michael Buxton said the state's latest planning zone reform package, unveiled last week by Planning Minister Mathew Guy, removed strict conditions constraining inappropriate development in rural conservation zones, which protect the most environmentally precious areas within Melbourne’s green belt.

MOONAH LINKS

While welcoming ongoing protections under the planning reform package for lands within Melbourne’s green wedge, Mr Buxton said the changes had “taken the strongest zone and made it the weakest”.

“There’s a lot of land with very significant environmental value that’s zoned rural for that exact purpose,”

Mr Buxton said. “The contradiction in what the government has done is that it has removed all the restrictions on the highest value land. Work that out.

“The government has certainly done a good job protecting green wedge land, but by allowing unrestricted use of the rural conservation zone, they’ve condemned the land to be gradually

urbanised. Significant parts of Melbourne’s green belt is now vulnerable to being destroyed.”

While there is no green wedge land within Kingston’s jurisdiction currently classisfied as rural conservation zone, extensive tracts of neighbouring Frankston are.

Mourning a great loss: Flowers at the Jewel Shed in Hastings show the community reaction to the death of shop owner Dermot O’Toole last month. Picture: Yanni

Thanks to community To our community, This has been an horrendously difficult time for our family, as we not only come to terms with Dermot’s death but the violent and senseless nature of it.

Nevertheless, the support we are receiving from all walks of life is making a profound difference. We have never felt alone nor isolated in our grief. We are also deeply moved by the manner in which the community has come together.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank some individuals and organisations whose selflessness and professionalism have somewhat eased our burden:  Members of the public who came to our aid on the day;  Victoria Police;  Ambulance Victoria;  Frankston Hospital;  Gateway Funerals (especially Loxley);  Fr. John Madden, Fr. Gerard McMorrow, Fr. Michael Myles and Fr. Paul Stuart;  Dr Bernie Boon;  Brian Stahl, David Garnock and the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council;

Thank you, The O’Toole family

I wish to commend you on two items in particular (in Chelsea-Mordialloc News, 07/08/13).

Firstly, the brilliant photo which appeared on page 3, taken by Yanni, of our daughter’s artwork at the Kingston Faith in Art exhibition. The eye is drawn to all the right features: we are all really impressed. Thank you.

Secondly, the entertaining poem written by Stuart McCullough, about K. Rudd’s selfie. What a talent, Stuart! In fact, I look forward to reading your column every edition of the newspaper. Your well-written, wry, humorous insights are a real asset to the paper.

Keep up the good work.

Roslyn Brown, Carrum

It’s wrong, Ron

City of Kingston has approved this year’s Budget “riddled with mistakes” (‘Budget blunders blasted, Chelsea-Mordialloc News, 07/08/13).

Mayor Ron Brownlees showed lack of financial governence and any due diligence to ratepayers’ monies by passing this matter.

If the Budget’s wrong, Ron, it’s wrong. It’s that simple.

Remember it’s not your money.

You only have stewardship over these funds on our behalf.

Frankly if this is the skill set you bring to the council I’d rather not give you my rates.

Chris, Aspendale.

Send letters to the editor to The News, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915 or email team@mpnews.com.au Correspondence may be edited for length.

It’s not a new fire levy, it’s a fairer fire levy.

On 1 July 2013, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, the Victorian Government is replacing the old fire services levy with a fairer system.

Rather than being added to insurance premiums, the levy will now be collected with council rates. This means all property owners contribute a fair share to the Country Fire Authority or the Metropolitan Fire Brigade.

The levy is a fixed charge of $100 for residential properties and $200 for non-residential properties, plus a variable charge based on the property’s capital improved value.

All funds will go towards supporting Victoria’s fire services.

GST and stamp duty charged on the old levy have been removed and, for the first time, eligible pensioners and veterans will receive a $50 concession. These reforms will save households and business around $100 million a year.

Calling all collectors

Airport retail plan grounded

THE collectors are coming. Ormond resident Graham Wilce is gathering a group of people who spend their spare time collecting interesting objects for an exhibition to be held in Mordialloc in September.

Items from throughout the decades will be on display. Rolling pins, timetables, Meccano sets and pop-up books are just some of items that will be displayed by twelve collectors.

Mr Wilce has always been interested in historical items and the people who collect them. “My sister was an antique dealer in France, so my family are keen historians,� Mr Wilce said.

Former Kingston mayor Bill Nixon will be showing and discussing his father’s collection of circus and cinema memorabilia from the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s. Mr Nixon’s father was showman Denvir Dixon.

Mr Wilce has finalised the line-up for the collectors exhibition in Mordialloc, but is always keen to hear from those with a similar passion to participate in future events. ď Ž ’The Collectors’ exhibition will be held on Tuesday 10 September from 9.15am until 3pm at Mordialloc Community Centre, 115 Warren Rd. Entry is $4 and includes morning and afternoon tea. Contact Graham Wilce on 9578 2315.

Council election probe not for dummies

By Chris Brennan COUNCIL elections are to be heavily scrutinised as part of a wide-ranging investigation by the state government.

Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell last week announced the first-ever comprehensive review of Victoria’s local government electoral system, appointing former federal Liberal heavyweight Petro Georgiou to head an independent panel.

Mrs Powell said the review aimed to ensure councils continued to be held responsible and accountable to their communities, and to address falling voter participation as well as a sharp rise in the number of complaints about the 2012 council elections to the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate. “All Victorians should have faith in the system that elects local representatives to govern and make important

decisions affecting their communities,� Mrs Powell said. “The review will examine the reasons for the lower voter turnout and table processes for dealing quickly with complaints so they don’t impact on the integrity of future elections.�

Mr Georgiou, the former federal MP for Kooyong and chair of the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, will be joined on the panel

by Sally Davis, former manager of the Australian Electoral Commission’s Melbourne Electoral Education Centre and two-time Stonnington mayor; and Anne Murphy, a former president of the Municipal Association of Victoria, mayor of Preston (1998-90) and Local Government Commissioner at Stonnington and Whittlesea councils.

A key issue for the panel is dummy candidates – people listed on ballot papers who have no real intention

of winning and enter only to funnel votes to other candidates through preferences.

Some polls last year had as many as 85 candidates for just 11 vacancies.

There was an unprecedented 52 candidates in last year’s Kingston Council elections amid suspicions of the involvement of ‘dummy’ candidates.

The panel will consider the sharp decline in voter turnout, with almost a third of eligible voters failing to vote last year, compared with 7 per cent at the 2010 state election.

Kingston Council acting CEO Paul Franklin said “council has not formally considered the review, with the discussion paper due to be released between September and October.

When information is available, it will be provided to councillors for their consideration�.

Mrs Powell said the review aimed to

improve the electoral process, along with people’s understanding of it, and may lead to legislative changes.

She said the government had sought feedback from Municipal Association of Victoria, Victorian Local Government Association and Local Government Inspectorate about complaints.

Bill McArthur of MAV said his organisation had called for the review.

The biggest issue confronting voters was trying to work out “who are these people� standing for election, with limited information disclosure requirements in place.

The panel will issue a discussion paper and seek feedback through written submissions and public hearings before reporting to Mrs Powell in January with recommendations for potential legislative reform.

Details of the review are at www. localgovernment.vic.gov.au

DEPUTY Prime Minister and Federal Infrastructure and Transport Minister Anthony Albanese has stepped in to stop a contentious proposal for a retail development at Moorabbin Airport.

Traders and small business owners had been concerned local shopping precincts, particularly Dingley Village, may have been undermined by the plan to develop large retail outlets on 4.8 hectares of airport land at the corner of Centre Dandenong Rd and Boundary Rd. Kingston council’s independent economic advice supported the traders’ concerns, showing Dingley Village could lose up to half of its available customer catchment if the development went ahead.

Kingston mayor Ron Brownlees welcomed the minister’s decision and hailed it as a win for the business community. “This news will provide confidence to traders about renewed investment in Dingley Village and we hope it will encourage the long-awaited redevelopment of the shopping area,� Cr Brownlees said. “In refusing this retail proposal, the minister noted issues similar to those raised by council in its submission, namely the lack of an independent assessment process to ensure all views were heard. The minister also pointed out that the proposal did not show how it was consistent with national, state and local planning requirements�.

The decision could be appealed under the Airports Act 1996. Cr Brownlees said council would “welcome the opportunity to work constructively to explore a more appropriate development proposal in line with local planning policy�.

Better deal for Kingston schools

By Neil Walker SCHOOLS across Kingston are set to receive millions of dollars in extra funding under the Better Schools program after the state and federal governments finally signed off on a deal.

The education funding deal, formerly known as the Gonski reforms, had been in jeopardy amid a political stand-off.

Premier Denis Napthine decided to accept the commonwealth’s proposal on 4 August, just before Prime Minister Kevin Rudd called a federal election and his Australian Labor Party government went into ‘caretaker’ mode.

Patterson River Secondary College in Carrum will receive a $6 million funding boost between 2014 and 2019, according to figures released by the federal Department of Education.

The school’s annual budget would rise from approximately $14 million in 2014 to about $20 million in 2019.

PRSC assistant principal Daniel Dew said the school plans to use the extra money to hire more specialist teachers in literacy and numeracy to help students with additional needs. “We have suffered quite a few cuts in literacy and numeracy program funding over the past few years and the money to pay for those students’ needs has effectively previously come from other students,� Mr Dew said. “We see this (Gonski) as a fairer system�.

Parkdale Secondary College is also poised to receive increased funding.

Principal Greg McMahon said the Better Schools funding was “the most significant change in education funding since I started teaching in 1983�.

Parkdale Secondary also intends to invest the higher funding in helping

KINGSTON council has awarded a multi-million dollar contract to build the new Parkdale Family and Children’s Centre to commercial construction company Lloyd Group.

There were nine bidders for the lucrative contract, with tender amounts ranging from $3,506,002 to $4,335,900. Companies lodging the three lowest bids had their proposals analysed by council officers and were questioned by a council tender evaluation panel to ensure an understanding of the work required.

Councillors voted at a council meeting on 5 August to rubber stamp officers’ recommendations that the lowest bid by Lloyd Group be accepted.

Frankston-based Lloyd Group was responsible for the construction of Parkdale Secondary College’s gymnasium last year and the latest Carrum Bowling Club building at Keast Park in 2011.

Construction of the centre at Parkdale Secondary College in Warren Rd is due to begin soon.

Future fund boost: Parkdale Secondary College principal Greg McMahon with students Zac and Kate. Picture: Gary Sissons

students who are behind their peers in their studies.

Mr McMahon said students at the other end of the scale, who needed extra input to keep them stimulated , would also benefit from the deal. “This funding allows us to offer the full compliment of services and curriculum,� Mr McMahon said. “Previously it has been a real struggle to balance the school’s budget with every cent stretched to breaking point�.

Parkdale Secondary is set to get a near $6.5 million funding boost over six years from 2014, taking its total budget to about $18 million in 2019.

SENIORS DISCOUNT

In total, Victorian schools will receive an extra $12.2 billion over six years under the Better Schools funding system.

The federal government will pay $6.8 billion towads the increase, while the state government will tip in $5.4 billion.

However, Patterson River Secondary College assistant principal Daniel Dew noted the funding was not yet “set in concrete� and information released by the federal government provided only “ball park figures�.

He said the federal Coalition had only pledged to match Labor’s fund-

ing for the first four of six years, and the majority of the Better Schools funding was due to kick in in years five and six.

If no extra funding was received for the those later years, Mr Dew said Patterson River Secondary College’s funding would rise by an average of $2 million between 2014 and 2019, compared to $7.3 million under Labor’s plan. “The $2 million over five years would barely replace recent cuts to programs and funding,â€?

LPG tanks and access difficulties hinder CFA crews LIMITED access called for a different line of attack for a garage fire in Aspendale Gardens on Thursday 15 August.

Firefighters from Edithvale and Patterson River arrived on scene at approximately 9am to find smoke issuing from the roof and doorways of a brick veneer freestanding garage.

Due to the layout of the corner property, the initial attack line was taken through the front door of the house and straight through to the rear yard to gain access to the garage rear door. During the internal attack by crews wearing breathing apparatus, six 9-litre LPG cylinders were removed and with the aid of a thermal imaging camera crews were able to keep the fire damage to a minimum.

Once the initial attack rendered the fire manageable, a quick cut saw was

used to remove the panel lift double garage door to assist with access and to fully extinguish the fire.

The cause of the fire was determined to be a chest freezer in the garage.

The garage contained significant amounts of catering equipment, associated with the Indian restaurant owned by the occupant.

Incident Controller Captain Graham Fountain from Edithvale praised the efforts of the crews in what was somewhat of a difficult firefight, given the initial access issues. He went on to acknowledge the value of the thermal imaging camera in minimising damage and allowing firefighters to quickly locate the seat of the fire.

Appliances attending the call were Edithvale pumper and tanker, with support from Paterson River pumper.

Storm front WILD weather and high winds hitting

the Kingston area on Monday 19 August did not deter some avid anglers at Mordialloc Pier from their regular fishing routine (above).

Meanwhile, ducks sheltered from the wind and the rain under a bench as a high tide at Patterson River flooded pathways.

Pollies’ hot air over Torres ANALYSIS

Touching distance: Top, Australia’s closest neighbour Papua New Guinea lies just 3.5 kilometres from the Australian islands of Boigu and Saibai islands in Torres Strait.

Left, People from Papua New Guinea regularly arrive to trade at a market on Boigu Island in Torres Strait.

Pictures: Keith Platt

By Keith Platt THE latest chest-beating and outpourings of rage by politicians over four asylum seekers arriving in northern Australia via the Torres Strait smacks of hypocrisy.

It’s a sideshow, a distraction on the way to main event.

There’s nothing new about the porous nature of Australia’s northern frontier, especially with its nearest neighbour, Papua New Guinea.

The islands of Saibai and Boigu are the closest Australia gets to PNG, about 3.5 kilometres.

Only 17 of the 138 Torres Strait islands are inhabited, and residents of PNG’s closest villages can travel across the water without passport or visa, much as they have always done.

Church groups regularly come to Bamaga, on the Australian mainland. The 120-kilometre journey is no obstacle for people who live from the sea.

None of this is surprising for anyone who knows the area and none of it has ever been kept secret from Australian governments.

The saying “guns north, drugs south” is not made without reason.

If it’s possible to smuggle this type of contraband, why not people? Especially to an area where boat arrivals are more likely to be checked for carrying diseased fruit or poultry rather than identification.

A database of asylum seeker boats lists 15 arriving in the Torres Strait between May 1992 and May 2001 with 800 people on board.

The last man left in PNG’s Manus Island detention centre in 2004, Kuwait-born Aladdin Sisalem, arrived in Torres Strait by boat 18 months before.

The porous border also works in the other di-

rection. It was the route home chosen in 1992 by Malaysian Prince Raja Bahrin and the two children he reclaimed from his former wife, Jacqueline, when she was married to former Frankston resident, journalist Iain Gillespie. (She now writes an “agony aunt” column for a Sunday magazine as Jacqueline Pascarl.)

The prince – hailed a hero at home and a villain in Australia – took a boat across our northern frontier, choosing to make landfall in West Papua, the troubled Indonesian-controlled other half of what was once New Guinea. Being given safe passage through the Indonesian province made the last leg of that particular journey so much easier.

I went to Torres Strait five times over the course of 12 months in 2001, as part of a documentary crew hired to film part of ABC TV’s Island Life series.

There was nothing political about the storyline, unless you include scrambling aboard a seized Indonesian fishing boat before it was burned on the beach to kill infestations of rats and insects.

The “story” being chronicled by producer and cinematographer Terry Carlyon and I concerned the efforts being made to prevent deaths in the top end from tropical diseases, mainly the deadly Japanese encephalitis.

One of the shoots involved accompanying a group of scientists on a Royal Australian Navy patrol boat to Ker Island, a remote coral cay just south of the border between PNG and West Papua.

During a four-day stay on the coral cay, we found evidence of other visitors.

An empty, half-burned box of Indonesian matches lay in the embers of a campfire with the remains of a turtle.

Aboard the patrol boat at night, we would see the lights and hear the sound of an aircraft passing

Dog ring myth busted

By Chris Brennan FAKE social media reports have sparked public panic over a supposed organised dog abduction ring targeting pets around Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

Police have moved to allay fears that beloved pets were being stolen from homes to be used in, or as bait for, illegal dog fights, as reported in widely circulated Facebook postings.

“It’s all fake. It’s simply not happening,” a Victoria Police spokesman said. “We have investigated this thoroughly and can confirm there’s absolutely no substance to these reports.”

Police have been swamped with reported sightings of a white Toyota utility and other “suspicious activities” allegedly connected to the theft of dogs and illegal dog fighting.

However, only four dogs have been reported as stolen across the entire Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region since the beginning of the year, and they had nothing to do with dog fighting, police said.

A report posted on the official Victoria Police Facebook site appears to have “gone viral”. It carried an identikit image of a man police wanted to interview over dog abductions and an “illegal dog fighting ring in a Seaford factory”.

“The man was last seen in Seaford, also Frankston North.

Anyone with information or [who] has seen this man please call Crime Stoppers,” the Facebook posting read.

But the image was from a

separate, unrelated incident and the entire substance of the posting had been made up, police said.

An earlier report, also posted on Facebook, warned that: “Dogs on the peninsula are being stolen for fighting. They are going missing daily…”

It outlined a well-worn internet myth that has popped up in cities and towns across the world regarding organised criminal operations stealing pets for use in dog fights.

Crime gangs allegedly use spotters to apply colour-coded tags or stickers to mark houses where dogs live, so that later “the thieves can drive around and take dogs when nobody is home”, the recent peninsula Facebook posting warning.

“Yellow ties are for staffies/mastiffs etc and blue for smaller/old dogs that are used for bait.

“Keep an eye out for a Toyota ute with dog cages on the back and if you see anything suspicious, please call the police.

They are aware of what’s happening.”

But police are not aware of any such activity and have been forced to deal with an increasing number of inquiries and reports from members of the public, including multiple sighting of the Toyota allegedly involved.

“This is taking up a lot of police time and resources and causing great concern in the community, so we really want to get the word out to the public that there’s been no such activi-

ties in the area,” the spokesman said.

“This is the problem with social media; well-meaning people get easily sucked in by reports like this and want to share it around. But once you share it on your page, your friends then share it and very quickly it goes from 10 to 100 to 1000 to 10,000 and can quickly get up to a million.

“We’d ask Facebook users to circulate the news that the dog theft story is a myth. We’d suggest people maybe Google reports like this to try to ascertain their validity before sharing it online with more people.”

A third report that two Aussie bulldog crosses had been stolen from Mt Martha on Tuesday, with one later dumped in Point Leo “covered in blood and puncture wounds”, was also posted on Facebook.

The posting read: “The Vet has stated the puncture wounds are consistent with bite marks.

The owner is heartbroken. The police have told the owner of the bulldogs that two beagles were stolen in Mt Eliza today.

Mt Eliza is right next door to Mt Martha. Please be vigilant if you own dogs within this area.

The second Aussie bulldog has not been found.”

Members of the public contacted The News to assert the story was true, that they’d seen the injured dog, and Rosebud police had been contacted.

Strait way not new overhead. The skipper would go to the wheelhouse and speak with the crew of the Australian Customs’ Coastwatch plane. He never said what they spoke about. All secret squirrel stuff.

About a week after returning to Melbourne, I saw a small news item about 14 refugees being picked up from that coral cay, where there was no fresh water and little else but a couple of palm trees and lowlying scrub. You could run around it in less than 30 minutes.

It seemed obvious Australian authorities had been tipped off. The chances of a ship or boat going near the place before people died of

thirst or hunger were about as remote as the island itself.

Eventually, I gleaned a bit of information from the federal parliamentary Hansard.

Asylum seekers had been brought to the mainland, with eight (or nine) going to Port Headland. The rest apparently escaped. To where or to what I was unable to find out.

This all happened while John Howard was prime minister, Bruce Billson was (and remains) federal MP for Dunkley (Seaford to Mornington), and Flinders MP Peter Reith was defence minister (he was succeeded as Flinders MP by Liberal colleague Greg Hunt in November 2001).

Tampa was yet to happen. The captain of the ship was decorated in Norway for saving asylum seekers while pilloried in Australia for taking them to Christmas Island and embarrassing the Howard government. Many have since settled in Australia after first being granted New Zealand citizenship.

During many hours of helicopter travel over Torres Strait, we would see young teenagers skilfully moving between the islands in their tinnies. Their small outboards were fed fuel through a rubber tube inserted into the opening of a fourgallon tin.

One would stand in the bow hold-

ing a rope while the other steered through the coral reefs.

The islanders use tinnies like suburbanites use cars. On a Saturday morning they are lined up on the main beach at Thursday Island, much like the supermarket car park fills with cars.

The islanders have their own flag (often, but not always, flown alongside the Aboriginal flag) and appeared to sometimes have a disdain for authority. One memorable afternoon was enlivened for us by half a dozen men baring their backsides as Customs helicopter approached.

I doubt little has changed.

Big patch: An Australian Customs patrol boat in Torres Strait.

MELBOURNE’S PSYCHIC EXPO NS

Sunday 1st September DAN DENO NG-FRANKSTON RD

August 2013 The Victorian Coalition Government recently signed on to the Better Schools Plan, following many months of negotiation with the Federal Government. We insisted that Victorian school principals and councils remain autonomous and received assurances from the Federal Government that there would be no change. This was important as they are the people who understand the immediate needs of the students in their care and are therefore best placed to run our schools. The agreement will see $12.2 billion for education in Victoria, with an additional $5.4 billion being invested by the Coalition Government and an additional $6.8 billion in Federal Government funding over the next six years. This is a good deal for Victoria, Victorian schools and students. This funding is additional to our record level of funding for Victorian schools and will provide every student in the Carrum electorate with the best possible learning experience.

A new $84 million precinct on Frankston’s foreshore and the start of the Kananook Creek desilting project will revitalise the area and bring activity back to the waterway. Last week I joined Minister for Water Peter Walsh to turn the first sod of construction works for South East Water’s new head office in Frankston. Work has also begun to fulfil the Victorian Coalition Government’s $2.5 million commitment to de-silt Kananook Creek and will take three months to complete. South East Water’s new head office will bring hundreds of local jobs and inject millions of dollars into the local Frankston economy each year. The new office and surrounding precinct has been designed with the community and bayside location in mind. It will bring energy and activity to what is currently an under-utilised part of the city and will include generous public spaces, cafés and a retail zone.

I enjoyed participating in the ‘Principal for a Day’ program at Aspendale Primary School, spending the day with students and teachers. The school has 420 students in Prep to Grade 6. I had morning tea with the teachers at recess and then visited all grades. Some of the highlights from my day included chatting to the preps about their pets and joining in the music lessons. I even found the courage to play the piano after being encouraged by the students.

Being involved in ‘Principal for a Day’ provides a great opportunity for an insight into the work that’s being done in our local schools and the challenges and accomplishments that our teacher’s face. Principal Phil Anthony is thrilled with the $2 million commitment from the Victorian Coalition Government to rebuild the school’s junior facilities and replace outdated classrooms, with works commencing later this year.

I’m here to help. Please contact my office on 9772 4544 or email me at donna.bauer@parliament.vic.gov.au.

Ready to live the good life THE City of Kingston, in partnership with the City of Bayside, has received $566,042 from the Federal Department of Health and Ageing, to implement a healthy communities initiative called the Good Living Project.

The project aims to reduce the risk of chronic disease in culturally and linguistically diverse people, unemployed or underemployed people, older adults and people who are at risk of chronic disease.

A range of programs which promote healthy eating and physical activity includes the establishment of community kitchens in Chelsea and Highett.

Chelsea’s Community Kitchen began in May and now runs each Friday morning between 9:30am and 1pm.

The kitchen operates out of the new Chelsea Activity Hub at Showers Avenue.

A small group of men and women choose recipes and cook together, under the guidance of dietitian, Malindi Greenwood, from Central Bayside Community Health Services.

Some of the deliciously healthy recipes cooked so far include Pearl barley risotto, Thai noodle salad, shepherd’s pie, carrot and quinoa loaf, mushroom

lasagna, cauliflower soup and sweet potato brownies. Community kitchen participants gain nutrition knowledge by learning new cooking skills, trying new foods, and produce meals cost-effective and healthy meals. Fun and new friendships are the icing on the cake.

Attendee Leah said: “the community kitchen helps me to explore new foods and cook recipes that I might not be confident enough to try on my own, at home”.

Contact Malindi Greenwood on 8587 0228 or to simply visit the Activity Hub on a Friday morning to participate.

Continued from Page 1 Under the state Coalition Government’s changes, green wedge land within Kingston will be opened up to increased commercial use, particularly industries associated with agriculture, as well as to the establishment of schools.

Announcing the changes last week, Mr Guy said the government aimed to strengthen agricultural production while protecting against inappropriate development.

He said green wedge and green wedge A zones would be targeted for increased agricultural activity by making it easier for farm-based business to conduct sales activities. “It is important the state government allows green wedge zones to drive agricultural production and farm sales,” Mr Guy said.

“Green wedge zones make a significant contribution to our city’s liveability and as such it is important the government protects the zones from inappropriate development.”

Key changes to green wedge zones include “bringing agriculture, primary produce sales and a small rural store to an ‘as of right’ use to encourage primary production uses; allowing places of assembly in green wedge zones, and fulfilling the Coalition’s election promise to allow schools but only with a permit from a council”.

Prisons and freeway service centres have been added to the list of prohibited uses within green wedge zones, with service stations, display homes, nightclubs and medical centres already banned, while “in conjunction” tests remain for restaurants, group accommodation and functions centres.

“The addition of schools and places

of assembly to allowable uses with a council permit is an important delivery of the Coalition Government’s election commitments, and is the only non-agricultural addition of uses to the zones,” Mr Guy said.

However, Mr Buxton said the increased number of commercial activities permitted in the green wedge zone would erode the effectiveness of environmental protections.

“The sleeper in this is that, while offices and retail are still prohibited, there are too many exceptions,” Mr Buxton said. “All sorts of industry and retail uses are now allowed in the green wedge zone, such as rural industries, sales of produce, nurseries, materials, and those exceptions reduce the force of the prohibitions.

“So we’re going to have all these rural industries and retail sales creeping into the green wedge area – but the whole principle of the green belt is to exclude these sorts of activities, to keep these urban uses out, so that the green belt is retained for conservation purposes.”

He saved his fiercest criticism for the governments changes to rural conservation zone regulations. “They have taken out the key controls on those developments, which is a minimum requirement for the amount of land you have to buy – that’s 40 hectares - and councils can control the size of the actual development by limiting the number of seats or beds,” Mr Buxton explained.

Kingston councillor and Green Wedges Coalition member Rosemary West said she agreed with the government’s emphasis on agriculture, but hoped this did not come at a cost of “diminished concern for environmental conservation”.

Playing to win THE exterior colours of properties in Sandhurst Estate may be set, but residents can make the interior a bold statement. From the Italian quartz feature wall, porcelain floor tiles and an incredible Egyptian crystal chandelier that towers above the grand entry foyer, the statement being made here is one of absolute quality. Built by Grollo Homes, this magnificent home is on an 811 square metre block in the exclusive gated community of Sandhurst Island. Measuring 511 square metres (55 squares), the home has three zones.

The ground floor consists of a step down study, located to the right as you enter, and then through into a splendid games and theatre room. The whole area has pure wool carpets and there is air-conditioning. One of the intriguing aspects are the curved hallways. While most homes are a series of straight lines, this property produces an exciting sense of not knowing what is around the corner. From the foyer, a perfect semi-circle takes you around to the kitchen – or downstairs bathroom – and back again, where the sleek “atrium-effect” windows overlook the pool and entertainment area. The kitchen has an Asko stainlesssteel dishwasher, Smeg under-bench oven and Italian granite benchtops. There is a massive pantry. The adjoining family and dining room also overlooks the pool area. The third zone is upstairs with four bedrooms and another pleasant sitting area at the top which has access to balconies at the front and back of the home. The elegant master bedroom has walk-through robes with mirrored doors leading to a Roman baths-inspired ensuite complete with his and hers vanity units and a spa bath flanked by columns and complemented by exquisite quartz tiles. The three other bedrooms share a third bathroom.

Outside is a nice play area and the in-ground pool has a spa and water feature. A Balinese-style cabana is the focal point of the large timber deck entertainment area. One of the most pleasing things about the house is that it is a home. It is certainly beautiful but not a museum. Children have played here, friends have gathered for parties, and for the discerning buyer who recognises quality, this stunning home is ready to be a part of their memories.

Dolphins’ function centre dream a reality

By Mike Hast FRANKSTON Dolphins’ dream of a new function centre and clubrooms is a step closer to reality after the club and Frankston Council agreed terms two weeks ago.

The council will build a two-storey “community function centre” on the site of the club’s existing building and the Dolphins will manage it.

It will incorporate part of the existing building constructed by the Dolphins.

Frankston Park Function Centre will hold 370 people downstairs and 220 people upstairs.

Dolphins president John Barry said many community groups use the building because of its affordability and location, but the club had been forced to turn groups away in recent times.

He said a new function centre was a necessity to cater for 100 local groups, schools, clubs, charities and businesses that had used the social rooms.

“Many of those groups, particularly schools, told us they wanted to be able to hold their major functions in Frankston rather than heading elsewhere, and we are delighted with the support this idea has received from all funding partners,” Mr Barry said.

Project funding comes from the state government ($1.5 million), Frankston Council ($500,000), VFL ($250,000) and AFL ($250,000).

The state government money was allocated in October 2010 by the Labor government. Just over a month later, the Brumby government was defeated by the Ted Baillieu-led Coalition, but

Function heaven: An artist’s impression of Frankston Dolphins Football Club’s $3 million function centre and clubrooms redevelopment.

the grant was carved in stone and honoured by the government.

When planning started in August 2011, the project was costed at about $3 million but the Dolphins’ contribution of $500,000 will now be in-kind.

The club hopes to complete the building to lock-up stage will cost about $2.5 million and the internal fitout will be done by the club, its supporters and sponsors, and have a nominal value of about $500,000. In 2011, the club hoped construction would start in June 2012 and be finished in March 2013.

Dolphins’ stalwart and general manager Bryan Mace told The News it was hoped tenders would be called before Christmas with building to start next March and take 8-9 months.

“We’ll build around our gaming room and social room,” he said.

About 50 per cent of the complex will be demolished to make way for the new centre, he said.

There would be a new entrance off Plowman Place to the first storey.

Mr Mace said the Dolphins would not be able to play at home for several

weeks while machinery occupied part of the ground.

“When we have the building schedule, we’ll talk to clubs like Sandringham and Casey to see if we can play home games there,” he said.

More games would be played at home later in the 2014 season, he said.

The project will transform the club, which has resolutely stood alone since 2000 when most VFL sides aligned with AFL clubs.

Mayor Cr Sandra Mayer congratulated the club for its work in making

the project possible.

“The Dolphins secured $2 million of funding from the AFL and state government to create a function centre that is affordable for local community groups and schools, and that will also help ensure the club’s future,” she said.

The function centre will be the second major building project at the ground in recent times. The historic grandstand was replaced after burning to the ground on 13 February 2008.

It was officially opened in November 2010.

The local ladies of science branch out, lady luck comes to the Peninsula Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 23 August 1913.

The niece of Cr J. Lloyd, of Langwarrin, Dr Georgina Sweet, Professor of Biology at the Melbourne University, left Victoria last week on a scientific tour of the world, and has been instructed by the Federal Government to make exhaustive enquiries in regard to the parasite known as nodules in cattle, which is the cause of serious deterioration in the quality of beef affected, and consequent loss to all concerned in providing beef for export or home consumption.

Her sister, Dr Elizabeth M. Sweet, who left this State to take charge as resident medical officer of the Lady Lamington Hospital for women, in Brisbane, and later was appointed as resident medical officer of the Children’s Hospital in the same city, has been appointed by the Executive as Assistant Medical Inspector of Schools for Queensland. Mr George Sweet, A.G.S., the father of these talented lady doctors, who is well known in scientific circles as a geologist, is the brother of Cr J. Lloyd, the President of the Cranbourne Shire. *** Luck must turn to some district one time or other. Three well-known persons of this place were lucky enough to make a draw in Tattersalls. One drew a horse, and two friends drew a substantial prize. *** On account of election notices this week, a quantity of interesting items are held over till next issue. *** Mr S. S. Price, dentist, will attend at St Pancras, Frankston, on Sunday

next, for the convenience of patients. *** Cr Godfrey Patterson notifies in this issue that he again offers himself for re-election to a seat in the West Riding of the Shire of Flinders and Kangereng. *** Cr S Stephens and Mr W. A. Korner will address the electors of Mornington on Tuesday evening next, on municipal matters. *** A special horse sale will be conducted by Messrs Brody and Mason at Somerville on Wednesday, 27th Aug, when over 100 good useful sorts of horses and ponies will be offered for sale. *** A clearing sale of stock and plant, on account of Mr T. L. Jensen, will be conducted at Cain’s farm, Boneo, by Messrs T. R. B. Morton and Son, on Friday, 29th August. *** Mr Norman Chirton, the well known Melbourne baritone, who has just returned from a successful tour of New Zealand, has kindly consented to sing at the Choral concert on the 80th inst.

Mr Chirton appeared for some time with the Periotts, at St. Kilda. *** The secretary of the Somerville Football Club desires to acknowledge the following donations to the club:Messrs G. G. Cole and S. S. Gault 10s 6d each, Mr J. Sage £1 1s, and Mr G. Reed 10s. *** At the Mornington shire council, held on Thursday, it was decided that a man be put on to assist the secretary in numbering the graves in the Moo-

rooduc cemetery; also on that tenders be called for the work of clearing the paths of weeds. *** The death occurred at her residence, 6 Edmund street, Clifton Hill, on Wednesday last, of Sarah Faulkner Ashmore, who was well-known and highly respected in Frankston.

Deceased, who was only 46 years of age, had been suffering for some time, so her end was not unexpected.

She leaves a husband and two sons to mourn their loss. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to them. *** An old identity of Frankston, in the person of Mrs Mills, passed peacefully away at a hospital in Melbourne on Saturday last. Some time ago the old lady had a fall, and injured her leg, and in spite of loving care and attention she never recovered from the shock. She lived to a ripe old age, and was a resident of Frankston for a great number of years. *** By the courtesy of Mr Thomas Murray, C. E., Engineer of the State Rivers and Water Commission, we have been furnished with the following additional information concerning the important conference on the water scheme at Mornington, reported in our last issue: Instead of Major Mansell we should have said Major Manser. With regard to the amount of water available, it should be stated that there was, with adequate storage at Monbulk Creek, sufficient to supply at least 12000 people, including Dandenong. It was stated that the cost of the preliminary work would be £450; we should have said not to exceed £450.

*** A football match between teams representing the Frankston Brass Band and the Frankston Football Club was played in the Frankston park on Saturday last. The game was fairly evenly contested, several Frankston players assisting the bandsmen.

After an interesting game, want of condition told on the bandsmen, and the Frankston team ran out winners.

The game was umpired by Mr A. Verney. During the interval, a collection was taken up, and the proceeds were divided between the football club and the band. The Frankston juniors journeyed to Mornington on Saturday, and suffered defeat at the hands of the locals. *** Owing to the great traffic here the roads are in a most disgraceful state, in some places being almost impossible to pass along. To drive from here to Bittern along the main road means endangering any vehicle to a broken axle. *** On Tuesday night a social was held in Crib Hall, but owing to the bad state of the roads the attendance was lot as large as it might have been. Dancing began at 8 pm. and kept going merrily till 11.30, when supper was handed round. After the appetites were fully satisfied, dancing was resumed until 2 a.m. Miss Romeo ably performed at the piano, while Mr Blair carried out the duties, in a proficient manner. *** Quite a gloom was cast over this district when the death of Mr Ryan, of Hastings, was announced. The district in general sympathise deeply with the widow and family.

*** Everylady’s Journal, the Australian magazine for women, is essentially a journal that is indispensable to the woman who is fighting to run her home on practical and up-to-date lines. The August issue, however, just published, strikes a strong note of general interest and entertainment with such articles as ‘The Litery Girl Who Goes to London,’ Miss Roberts on ‘Billiards for Women,’ The Story of Captain Oates,’ ‘The Splendour of the English Court,’ and some fine short stories.

Miss Geraldine Farrar, one of the most famous actresses in the world, has some interesting things to say on ‘Should an Actress Marry ?’ We quote: ‘My ideas on marriage? I do not wish to imply that my course is the only one; but it is the only one for me. Why should I marry? Matrimony look upon as some thing serious and apart. Love and matrimony do not wear the same pair of shoes. Marriage means propagation: two friends and a family.

The real mother has no time in which to become an artist. A woman cannot divide family interests with any other. I could not look forward to singing an ill child to sleep at home.

I have a talent for being what I am; take me out of my sphere and domesticate me, and I am done.’

For the rest of this article and a score of other good things, we must refer readers to the August issue of ‘Everylady’s Journal’ sold locally for 6d. If readers can’t secure it locally, the magazine may he secured post free to your home for 6 months if a 3s postal note is sent to T. Shaw Fitchett, 376 Swanston Street, Melbourne.

Jazz from hell - How I ruined music

By Stuart McCullough MUSIC is the food of love. But, truth be told, my own musical endeavours have been responsible for some pretty severe cases of food poisoning over the years. I’m sure some people play a few notes or hum a few bars and cause the world at large to swoon. That’s never been my experience. Most people play music for an audience. Not me. I’m lucky if even one person turns up. That’s not so much an audience as an audient. Nevertheless, I would play my heart out to the audient until that person would inevitably duck out to the toilets and never return.

In first year uni, I knew a guy called Bruce. He was extremely talented and had his heart set on being admitted to a course at the Victorian College of the Arts, specialising in musical improvisation. I’ve never been much for improvising, seemingly unable to let myself go and surrender myself to ‘the Force’. It was always the writing part about music that I liked the most and the idea of playing without a net violated every instinct and fibre in my being. For those reasons, as well a chronic lack of talent, I was an odd choice to accompany Bruce for his audition.

Bruce played saxophone and seemed to be able to channel a great sense of feeling at will. My piano playing efforts are best described as ‘meat-handed’ and somewhat devoid of subtlety.

Perhaps he wanted to create a contrast.

Or, alternatively, to generate a thought in the minds of those from the college along the lines of: things could be worse – we could have been stuck

with the guy on the piano. Or just elicit the sympathy vote.

With so much at stake, it was appropriate that we rehearse. But given that the work was meant to be improvised, it was hard to know exactly how far to take our preparations and how much should be left to dumb luck. Invariably, I would start with a few open chords and allow Bruce to find his way in. Where it went after that was pretty much anyone’s guess. Sometimes it seemed to follow a logical path, but on other occasions our instruments were engaged in some kind of musical tug of war. That said, there were moments when the results seemed – at least to us – kind of wonderful.

When the big day came, we headed

HOMES

down to the Victorian College of the Arts. I had seen several episodes of the TV show Fame and fully expected students to be pirouetting down the hallways and breaking into song. For that reason, as well as comfort, I wore my best leg-warmers and leotard. Upon arriving, we were asked to sign in at reception. Taking my cue, I jumped back, span around, leapt on a chair and began to sing. As I surveyed the horrified faces around me, it began to dawn on me that – once again – I may be been misled by television.

We had to wait our turn and were both nervous. When Bruce’s name was called we were ushered into a small white room. Behind a trestle table sat three members of the faculty who, by

the looks on their faces, had all eaten prunes for breakfast. It was as if we’d stolen their parking spot and had run over the faculty cat in the process. We were unwelcome. It’s said that music soothes the savage beast. Having said that, I don’t recall the Crocodile Hunter ever singing a few bars of, Moonlight Becomes You So before throwing himself astride a one tonne reptile.

In retrospect, I would have been better off going the full Steve Irwin.

Instead of trying to placate them with music, I should have leapt from atop the upright piano and tackled them to the floor, tying them up before safely relocating them to a remote location where they could have been released into the wild. In all honesty, Bruce’s

OFFICES

chances of being accepted would have been vastly improved if I had.

I took a deep breath and began to play. As was my custom, I began with a few open chords and Bruce honked out a few notes. In terms of our improvisation, we tended to use ‘the volcano model’. This involves various tremors before a full-blown eruption and a quiet dissolution. Today, however, something was wrong. I’d head in one direction and Bruce would head in the other. It was as though the piano and saxophone were engaged in some kind of hand-to-hand combat. In a last ditch attempt to save the moment, I abandoned myself completely to the music. The music, however, rewarded this sign of faith with a complete cacophony that would make Van Gogh want to chop off the other ear just for some peace and quiet. Suddenly, I was like Jimi Hendrix, moments away from upending the piano and setting it on fire. My hands were nothing but a blur as I played, played and played…

In an instant, it was over. As I looked up, the remaining teacher looked horrified. Two had already left, leaving only an audient behind. Even Bruce looked a little shocked. My experimental jazz odyssey had gone seriously off the rails, travelling to a point of no return. Traditionally, auditions end with words like ‘we’ll be in touch’ or even ‘thank you’. On this occasion, we were told simply to, ‘get out’. I felt bad for Bruce, but I’m sure he’s gone onto something better. Or, if nothing else, learned to be more particular in who he asked to accompany him. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance HERE Comes the Night, the music of Van Morrison returns to Melbourne for one show only following a sold out performance at The Palais theatre earlier this year.

Here Comes The Night will provide a rare opportunity for the many fans of Van Morrison’s music to enjoy the magic of his remarkable body of work as performed by the exceptional talents of Joe Camilleri, Vince Jones and Vika Bull at the Palais Theatre on Friday November 29.

Joe Camilleri is the principal performer and Repertoire Director. A legend of Australian contemporary rock music through his bands Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons and The Black Sorrows, Joe has been a Van Morrison fan from the first stirrings of his interest in music. His knowledge of the Morrison Songbook combined with his understanding of Morrison’s R&B, Soul and Celtic arrangements make him the ideal celebrant of the genius of this enigmatic modern master.

Vince Jones is a regular headliner throughout Australia. Here he joins Joe to bring his own silky skills to Morrison’s jazz oriented arrangements.

Vika Bull’s recent starring role in At Last: Etta James landed her under a solo spotlight and reminded music fans of the soulful clarity and energy that she added to Joe’s Black Sorrows.

Morrison’s penchant for duet arrangements of his classics in concert provides the perfect vehicle for Joe, Vince and Vika to do likewise. To add to the brilliant line-up on stage will be The Voodoo Sheiks and The Silo String Quartet.

Here Comes the Night: Songs from Van Morrison; the Palais Theatre, Friday 29 November. Tickets 136 100. *** RAISED in records and rock ‘n’ roll radio in New Jersey, “The Boss” articulated the hopes and dreams of America’s post-Vietnam generation in a society the seemed to have lost its way.

Elvis Presley’s performance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Then aged 13, he purchased a second hand guitar and learned to play Elvis and Chuck Berry songs. He later joined a school band.

The debuted at No.3 in the US and the album established him so firmly as a star that his career was able to survive despite litigation form former producer Mike Appel.

Springsteen became a bona fide rock superstar with his next album, Born in the USA, an album which sold over 12 million copies, stayed in the UK charts for more than two years.

“Never separate the working man from his beer and cigarettes” said the great Ben Chifley. You’re not real Labor Kevvy; you’ve blown it and in the process sentenced we real Labor supporters to Tony Abbott. The Greens will support it and Abbott will keep it but you started it Kevvy. *** I WONDER why non-smokers are consistently taking the time to rubbish us in their letters to the newspapers?

Their right-minded thinking (according to them) reminds me of the ins and outs of a duck’s bum. Hey, there’s a mere 13 per cent of us left. Calm down, bask in your victory. Indulge yourselves with latte’s sitting outside in the clean air. Not too much sugar and away from car exhausts. And salt; cut down on the salt, let your nippers and dogs run wild. Oh, and keep an eye on the road for 70 and over car drivers. *** THIS upcoming election preamble is sure to be a pain so in deference to my readers I’ll have my say quickly and promise no more politics until after 7 September. Who we vote for is of no consequence on the Mornington Peninsula but it matters along the Frankston line.

Both parties are appealling for the redneck and bigot vote with heaps of misinformation as to our economy and social services, not to mention the

frighteners on border security and whinging small business owners.

Tony Abbott is a shoe in on the basis of “it’s time” and American Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers daily attacks on Labor, so if nothing else we can find out if little Joey Hockey is the real deal and hopefully the Senate vote give us a measure of order.

They both present their arguments on what they think we think and both give billions in tax concessions on superannuation to the wealthiest 5 per cent. Said Tony: “We’ll build a stronger economy so that everyone will get ahead”-always assuming you have private transport and can afford the petrol.

From Nancy in Oliver the musical: “If you don’t mind going without things, it’s a fine fine life”. Go on, sing it. Lift your spirits. Close your eyes, get a pin and press down. *** THERE’S a lull in the air on the Mornington Peninsula. A form of mild preelection satisfaction. The Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre, like the extension freeway to Sorrento is relegated to fantasy and council has voted almost unanimously against the Arthurs Seat Dromana quarry tip proposal.

Then there’s the “no entertainment/ no nonsense” proposal for the Rye New Year’s Eve celebrations to thwart those looking to engage in anti-social behaviour. Finally we are hushed in

A Grain of Salt PEOPLE get paid real money to tell us what happiness is? A Collingwood victory is happiness; a loss is misery.

An honest real estate agent can bring happiness.

Professor Ed Diener is supposedly “the world’s leading researcher into happiness”. Nothing against Ed, but surely over the top?

Ed says: “Bad things will happen to us all, but we can actually choose to be happy” and “happiness is caused by relationships, goals and habits – and not by lots of money”.

Good stuff Ed, and they pay you big money? As I’ve said before the big three-music, laughter and good company. Joys and sorrows are annexed Ed, as is love. Good fortune cannot last forever, ask Nathan Tinkler. Ed added there are certain routes to happiness; you’re right there Ed; I wish. *** NSW ALP powerbroker Lebanese born Eddie Obeid has been the subject of corruption charges as a result of investigations tabled by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. True, his actions could seriously damage Kevin Rudd’s election chances, but my anti-Rudd rant is his cigarette tax on a tax (including col adjustments) furthering his ‘holier than thou’ paranoia on refusing the poor among us and pensioners the freewill opportunity to have a cigarette.

Tigers maul Bombers while Buds eliminate Panthers NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly THE long awaited battle between Sorrento and Dromana will take place this Saturday after the Tigers crushed Frankston Bombers by 77 points in the Nepean League Qualifying Final.

While in Sunday’s Elimination Final played at Hastings, Rosebud knocked Pearcedale out of the finals’ race with a 22-point win.

In Saturday’s match Dromana dominated Frankston Bombers from the opening bounce however, according to coach Gavin Artico, he didn’t believe his side played its best football.

Even if it was considered a “par” performance from the coach, the win still netted 12 goal kickers and 34 scoring shots to 17 in favor of Dromana.

The game certainly didn’t reach any great heights in terms of a contest however, there were flashes of brilliance from both sides.

A couple of spearing tackles from Dromana’s Sam Guerts and skipper Rikki Johnston were highlights of the match and typified the difference between the sides.

Frankston Bombers kicked goals in only two quarters of football, booting four in each of the second and final quarters with the aid of the wind.

Dromana on the other hand was consistent, as you would expect, booting four, five, five and six goals across the four quarters.

Artico said he believed the game lacked the spark of a final.

“Look, it was a good day at the office and I am rapt that we came away with the win,” Artico said.

“Even more pleasing was that we got through the game unscathed and Christian Ongarello is up and ready to take on Sorrento this weekend. We’ll have an absolute full list to choose from.”

Artico said that he was surprised with the lack of intensity in the game early.

“We certainly didn’t come out and play the brand of footy that I was looking for early and I thought Frankston was a bit flat too. There wasn’t that finals tempo,” Artico said.

“Our second half was much better than our first half and I was really pleased to see our guys doing the hard things right to the final siren.

“We probably wasted a lot of opportuntiies in front of goal, especially with the wind; however, I was pleased with our workrate against the wind.”

“It was a solid peformance and one that we can build on for our hit out against Sorrento.”

Paul Minchington was one of the best players on the ground, finishing with four goals for the Tigers, while Toby Banks booted three.

Michael Hunter played a dominating game in the back half, despite being dragged deep defensively, and Toby Banks was a stand out.

“Micky Hunter was no doubt our best player and he just ran and rebounded all afternoon for us,” Artico said.

“Toby (Banks) is really playing the kind of footy that we expect from him consistently and he was great in the win, along with Jay Neratzoglou and Stuart Cleeve. I also thought Luke O’Neil gave us plenty playing in the last line when we were kicking against the breeze,” Artico said.

While Frankston Bombers coach Duncan Proud was disappointed to lose, he believed his team performed pretty well.

“There was certainly no reason to get upset or angry with the players after the match because I thought generally, we played pretty well,” Proud said.

“I just thought we could have used the footy a lot better going forward,

rather than sitting it on Zac (Longham) and Scotty’s (Foster) head all day.

“We ran the ball pretty well but just weren’t smart kicking the ball inside our attacking zone,” Proud said.

The Bombers went into the game without Sam Drake, although he will be available this weekend.

“We certainly missed Sam because he has beaten all of his opponents this season, however, we’ve got some depth in our defence and I thought it held up pretty well,” Proud said.

Jay Page, Matt Harris and Brian O’Carroll were the outstanding players for the Bombers while Haydn Moore was very good in the ruck.

The loss did come at a cost for the Bombers, however, with Jason Bedford hurting his shoulder and coming from the ground in the last quarter.

Proud said X-Rays revealed no damage to Bedford but he did concede that he could be doubtful for this weekend’s match.

Rosebud coach Nick Jewell was able to help guide his side to its first

finals win since it won the flag in 2007.

Rosebud has lost the past three Elimination Finals and while Sunday’s performance wasn’t spectacular, a win is a win in a do-or-die final.

The Buds led Pearcedale by 12 points at quarter time, by seven points at half time and 21 points at three quarter time before recording the 14.8–92 to 10.10–70 victory.

Ben Shultz finished with three goals for the Buds while they also got great service from Tom Baker, as well as Ryan Spooner, Matt Payne and Lachy Armstrong, all of whom kicked two goals.

Dylan Hoare booted three for the Panthers, while Pat Heijden was restricted to just one goal.

After the match, Jewell said while the win wasn’t pretty, he’ll take it over a loss.

“We made some really silly mistakes, which cost us goals and we’re going to have to tidy that up before next week against the Bombers.”

Jewell said it was his players run that won them the game.

“When we played them the first time, we were only up by ten points at half time but really outran them in the second half.

“I thought the way the game was poised that we could do the same thing again, which we did.

“We ran hard both ways and really ensured that the opposition forwards had plenty of Rosebud numbers to deal with.”

Jewell said his players’ mindset shifted very quickly to Frankston Bombers straight after the game.

“I know we beat them by 40 points two weeks ago but they had five or six players out and really had nothing to play for. This week will be much different.

“We all went out for dinner together after the match and we’ll do recovery on Monday night at the surf club, as we have done all season.

“There’s going to be some cracking finals this weekend and I’m glad we’re still part of it all,” Jewell said.

Doggies celebrate big night with finals campaign launch PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly MORNINGTON will play Peninsula League finals in 2013 after getting the job done in a must-win game against Pines on Saturday.

All footy supporter’s eyes were firmly planted on the Pythons and the Doggies.

The equation going into the final round was simple. The winner between Mornington and Pines would play finals football.

There was a hitch, however. If the Dogs won, they had to hope that Karingal didn’t beat Seaford by a margin greater than five goals more than their own winning margin.

As it turned out, Mornington defeated Pines by 33 points, which meant that the Bulls needed to win by more than 10 goals. They didn’t, only beating Seaford by three points.

It was a sea of celebration for the Doggies, who were written-off by many four weeks ago.

However, they came out firing in the second half, booting six goals to two and recording what turned out to be a comfortable victory.

It was a massive day and night for the Mornington Football Club, who honoured their ‘Team of Our Time’ on Saturday night.

Coach Stuart Seagar said it was an outstanding result for the whole club.

“The committee has done a wonderful job for so many years and I was just so happy for all of them that we could repay them by getting into the finals,” Seagar said.

“But now that we are there, we just don’t want to make up the numbers.

“Our goal at the beginning of the season was to play finals footy and we have achieved that. But there’s no point getting there if you’re not willing to sacrifice and have an impact.

“We beat Edithvale-Aspendale earlier in the season and we are confident that our best football will get the desired result again.

“Our kids led the way on Saturday and I thought we were able to show some of the character that I believe we have lacked at times this season.

“At different stages in games this year I have looked for extra effort and sometimes we haven’t been able give it.

“However, on Saturday, after a slow start we were able to lift and thenrespond to the situation when it counted.

“Our intentions were great in the third quarter and our last quarter, against the breeze, was superb.

“We managed to kick three goals to Pines’ one point in the final quarter, which I thought was outstanding against the wind.

“It’s time now to take that form and display it next week against Edithvale,” Seagar said.

Pines booted the first three goals of the match against the breeze before the Doggies kicked six of the next seven goals.

Emilio Bitters was in spectacular form and finished with four goals for the match and ‘Tommy’ Simpson was outstanding with three goals.

Anthony Franchina also kicked three goals for the winners and Kallum Searle was back and doing a job in the forward half with two majors.

Daniel Moss continues to dominate and Chris Baker was at the top of his game.

For Pines, Brendan Neville and Guy Hendry (three goals) were among their team’s best, while Shaun White was also very good with three goals.

How does Frankston YCW do it?

On Saturday against Edithvale– Aspendale, the Stonecats were outplayed for the majority of the match, however, in 25 minutes, turned it on and won the game.

The Eagles booted seven goals to one in the first quarter and at half time, despite not scoring in the second term, still led by 28 points.

At three quarter time, the visitors maintained their lead, although it had been chopped to just 19 points.

The last quarter was one way traffic – all Frankston YCW’s way.

The home team booted five goals to one point in the last term and recorded a 13.15–93 to 11.9–75 win.

The reality was that the Eagles booted just four goals to YCW’s 12 after quarter time.

David Bodley finished the afternoon with five goals for the winners, while Kyle Hutchison, Byron Barry and Anthony Barry dominated.

Timmy Mannix and Mark Mullins were fantastic contributors for the Eagles and Markham Johnson won

the battle of the big fellas in the ruck.

Edithvale will now play in the Elimination Final against Mornington this weekend.

Mt Eliza was the big winner of the round, ending a disastrous season for Chelsea.

The Redlegs finished the afternoon with 55 scoring shots to Chelsea’s 14, winning 31.24–210 to 9.5–59.

Sam Wettenhaall finished the afternoon with seven goals for the Redlegs, while Josh Norman and Scott Lockwood booted four each.

Mt Eliza had 12 goal kickers.

Chelsea’s main contributor on the scoreboard was Joel Connelly with three goals, while Jessie O’Dell and Rory Gregg were among the team’s best.

Bonbeach completed the expected and beat Langwarrin, winning 12.17–89 to 7.10–52.

The Sharks gave the Kangas a three goal head start before booting five of the next six goals. The margin was only two goals at three quarter

time, before the Sharks booted six goals to two in the final term.

Gary Carpenter played arguably his best game of the year for Bonbeach while Ricky Ferraro and Dylan Jones were also at the top of their games. Shane McDonald was the leading scorer on the ground with four goals, which was enough to ensure that he won the league goal kicking award.

Luke Damon finished with three for the Kangas and Andrew Withers and Beau Muston picked up the major votes.

At three quarter time on Saturday, Karingal looked to be on track to make a run for the finals.

It led by 35 points and all it needed was a big last quarter to achieve the 10 goal margin it was aiming for.

However, Seaford came back in the final term, booted five goals to two points and got within a kick at the final siren.

Karingal defender Luke Van Raay was the best player on the ground.
