Saints march out?

By Neil Walker FRANKSTON Council has been stunned by news St Kilda Football Club may abandon its multi-million dollar training centre at Seaford.

It was revealed last week that the AFL, the state government, Cricket Victoria and MCC officials had talked about the Saints moving back to Junction Oval as part of a multi-million redevelopment of the ground in St Kilda.

Frankston mayor Darrel Taylor said the council was “disappointed that this

proposal was not discussed with us as a key stakeholder”.

The club arrived at Seaford just four years ago under a lease that would see it stay at the $11 million state-of-theart training and administration facility at Belvedere Park until 2035.

The Age reported last week that the planned return to a redeveloped Junction Oval, the Saints’ original home ground before the club moved to Moorabbin in 1965, would be a sentimental one for many of the team’s supporters but

would hurt the club’s much-vaunted strategy to increase membership in the outer south-eastern suburbs.

If the Saints agreed to share Junction Oval with Cricket Victoria, the AFL would be able to host games at the MCG in March, early in the footy season.

The lack of availability of the MCG for footy games due to cricket matches at the stadium last month has been cited as a contributing factor to a drop in AFL attendance figures this year.

Council spent about $4 million of

ratepayers’ money as part of the 2008 deal to entice the Saints from their former training base at Moorabbin.

The state government tipped in $3.45 million, the AFL $2.55 million and the football club $1.43 million plus additional costs to get the deal over the line.

St Kilda said it had not been involved in the discussions about the Junction Oval redevelopment but consultations with the AFL had included a Saints “presence” in any redevelopment there. A club statement said St Kilda

Shaw helps Napthine with ‘no problem’ line

By Keith Platt FRANKSTON MP Geoff Shaw has eased the pressure on the state government for an upgrade of Frankston’s busiest level crossing.

Mr Shaw said drivers could easily avoid waiting at the Overton Rd crossing by using bridges near Kananook and Frankston railway stations.

He said the cost of upgrading the crossing would be “immense”.

Frankston Council and Cranbourne MP Jude Perera have called on the government to ease bottlenecks at the Overton Rd, Wells Rd, Dandenong Rd West, Dandenong Rd East and Skye Rd intersection.

“Many residents of Frankston North and its surrounds contact my office [saying] they have missed appointments, sometimes medical appointments, because of the time they have spent at the intersection,” Mr Perera said.

He called on Roads and Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder to “support this much-needed upgrade as a matter of urgency”.

Frankston Council added its voice for an upgrade of the crossing in November last year.

However, Mr Shaw on Wednesday 2 April told Parliament an upgrade was not necessary as there were two bridges providing alternative routes “less than two kilometres apart”.

“They [motorists] can choose to use either of them. Sometimes I use them, and sometimes I do not.

“The longest I have been caught at

the traffic lights has been four minutes … the longest I have heard of somebody being caught at those traffic lights is eight minutes.”

Mr Shaw said it was “tough luck” to be caught waiting at the level crossing.

“We cannot cater for everyone’s whims. I myself would not be willing to do so. The council carries on about how it would like the level crossing fixed up. There are two overpasses.

“People should use them. I use them.”

The mayor Cr Darrel Taylor said on Thursday that accident statistics proved the intersection - “one of the most congested and complicated intersections within our municipality” - was dangerous and needed to be improved.

“Train frequencies exacerbate an already troublesome location. In addition to the congestion concerns are pedestrian crossing issues, two of the pedestrian crossing points do not have flashing lights or an electronic gate to prevent pedestrians from walking onto the tracks at any time,” Cr Taylor said.

“Drivers are known to become frustrated with the long wait times at the intersection, and take risks crossing the railway line and pedestrian are also known to take risks such as crossing the tracks when the boom gates are down when wait times there are considered too long.

“For the safety of everyone who uses this intersection we believe the statistics speak for themselves, we need this intersection improved.”

Derelict duties part of new budget proposals

By Chris Brennan FRANKSTON City Council is targeting the owners of run-down properties and vacant land with rate hikes of up to 35 per cent under budget proposals revealed last week.

While residential property owners will have to pay an average of 5.2 per cent more on their rate bills next financial year, owners of vacant land will be hit with a 35.4 per cent hike, the council’s 2014/15 draft budget proposes.

And a broadening of the definition of what constitutes a “derelict property” will see more owners stung by a punitive 200 per cent rate penalty.

Overall, the draft budget for the coming financial year proposes a “moderate rate increase and significant capital investment”, the council says.

The proposed average rate increase across all properties, including commercial, agricultural and residential,

is 5.5 per cent and includes 1 per cent for investment towards “much-needed infrastructure renewal”.

For the city’s 53,403 residential property owners, rates will rise an average of about $75 a year, based on a median residential property value of $373,651, which is down 0.3 per cent on the previous year.

However, in addition to the rate hike, the draft 2014/15 budget proposes a 5.5 per cent increase in waste collection fees, while rate payers will also have to fork out extra for the fire services levy, which is now included in council rates.

Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor described the council’s draft 20142015 budget, which was tabled last week and is now on public display for the required 28 days for public submissions, as “fiscally responsible”.

Capital expenditure for the 2014/15

financial year is estimated at $50.73 million, with $5.72 million to be borrowed to help finance capital works projects, leaving an underlying operational surplus of $7.56 million.

Cr Taylor said the budget not only honoured the council’s commitment to keep rate increases low but also maintained its promise to meet service demands and enhance Frankston’s growth and amenity.

“We made a commitment last year when we adopted a long-term financial plan for the first time that we would keep rates increases to 5.5 per cent and we have honoured that promise,” Cr Taylor said.

Council’s previously announced four-year plan for the years 2014-2015 to 2018-2019 stipulates annual budgets remain within a long-term “prudent financial framework”.

Cr Taylor said there had been “only

a 1.03 per cent increase in recurrent expenditure, which shows how serious we are about spending within our means. “Council’s long-term financial viability depends on its ability to make an operating surplus on a day to day basis in order to fund the replacement of assets and to fund new projects.”

New developments underway across the city were “exciting” and would generate more local jobs but required significant infrastructure and financial input, he said.

The most significant project costs in the proposed 2014/15 budget is $6 million for the development of the Frankston Yacht Club and $4.25 million for the Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre, which is projected to cost $49.71 million but is being jointly funded by the federal and state governments.

Cr Taylor said the council would continue to fight for a bigger slice of

state and federal tax revenue to ensure the city received its “fair share”.

“Local Government in Australia controls 20 per cent of public infrastructure but collects only 3.5 cents of every tax dollar raised nationally,” he said.

“We are constantly fighting for our fair share from the Victorian government, in the lead up to the year’s election while continuing to advocate to the federal government to further invest in Frankston city.”

The draft budget outlines a proposed 25 per cent rate surcharge on vacant residential properties “to encourage property owners to develop vacant land”.

Council is also revising its definition of “derelict properties” which will make it likely that “more properties will be re-classified and charged threetimes the general rate”.

Petition brings asylum seekers ‘home’ to MPs

By Neil Walker OUTRAGE at Australia’s treatment of asylum seekers will soon land on the doorsteps of Dunkley MP Bruce Billson and Flinders MP Greg Hunt.

Amnesty International is preparing to deliver a petition to the two Frankston and peninsula Liberal Party ministers demanding the federal government respond to a report it released late last year on alleged human rights breaches on Manus Island.

The peninsula branch of Amnesty International has been collecting signatures for the petition at Mornington market in Main St over the past three Wednesdays.

Amnesty International investigators visited the Manus Island detention centre in Papua New Guinea last year, describing conditions they saw there as “cruel and humiliating”.

Amnesty International delivered the report entitled This is Breaking People to federal immigration minister Scott Morrison in December.

The extensive report detailed “a host of human rights violations”, including a claim asylum seekers detained at Manus Island had access to just 500ml of drinking water per day, less than 10 per cent of the five litres per day recommended.

The report also stated toilet facilities at the detention centre often had no soap leading to outbreaks of preventable illnesses such as gastroenteritis.

The human rights watchdog noted just one refugee sent to Manus Island had been resettled since June 2012 and concluded the Australian government’s regional resettlement program

Strong signs: Amnesty International members Bernie Silva and Jodie Linz collect petition signatures in Mornington. Picture: Yanni

was “inhumane” since asylum seekers were given no timeline, no information and “no hope” about their bid for asylum.

Mr Morrison responded to the report by stating offshore processing of asylum seekers was “here to stay” but “where improvements can be made and can be justified, they will be made”.

Frankston resident Kevin Bain, a member of Amnesty International, who has been manning the group’s stall in Mornington with other volun-

teers each week, said more about 500 signatures for the petition had been collected so far.

“It has been encouraging to hear so many people express the strong view that what is happening at Manus Island is wrong”.

Amnesty International has stepped up its efforts to force Mr Morrison to improve conditions at Manus Island in the wake of the death of 23-year-old Iranian man Reza Berati during unrest in the detention centre in February this

year. PNG police continue to investigate allegations Mr Berati was murdered during riots at the centre.

Mr Bain said it is not illegal to seek asylum from danger and condemned the federal government’s treatment of refugees as “brutal and barbaric”.

“We want to show Bruce Billson and Greg Hunt that this is not just a Canberra-focused national issue,” he said.

“There’s a lot of local opposition to the disgraceful way the Australian government is treating asylum seek-

ers on our behalf.” The petition, due to be delivered to Mr Billson and Mr Hunt within the next few weeks, expresses concern about the conditions for detainees at the Manus Island detention centre and asks Mr Morrison to “provide an update on the improvements” there since he said “justified” improvements would be made.

The petition also called on the Australian government to urgently respond in full to all recommendations

by Amnesty International in its This Is Breaking People report.

Australian stock exchange-listed Transfield Services receives $61 million per month to run the Manus Island detention centre, which holds about 1300 asylum seekers.

Mr Hunt, while in opposition in June 2012, said in parliament that the Manus Island detention centre should be “operated under Australian circumstances, with Australian cooperation, with Australian standards, and [protected] human rights conditions.”

The federal government has said “strong border protection policies” had “saved lives at sea” and anyone who is found to be a refugee while detained in PNG will be resettled in that country, not Australia.

Amnesty International’s annual report on human rights in PNG society in general last year stated: “the [PNG] government did little to address high rates of violence against women” and “police accountability remained a serious concern”.

“We hear stories of members who have been bitten by dangerous animals, have collapsed due to excessive heat or even workers who have been stalked and physically assaulted.

“No employee should be treated like this at work.

“Police and emergency service workers wouldn’t put up with it, so why should our members?

“The state government is increasing the amount of enforcement activities it expects of council, so some guidelines need to be quickly set in the interests of employees across all municipalities.”

THE Australian Services Union wants new guidelines to protect the safety of council law enforcement workers.

Their work can be challenging and sometimes dangerous, creating serious occupational hazards among workers, according to ASU assistant secretary Richard Duffy.

“Over recent years, the state government has expected councils to enforce many more state laws such as the new dangerous dog laws and restrictions on smoking in public places,” he said.

ASU members are employed in law enforcement across local government in roles such as park rangers, health officers, parking officers and animal management officers.

Danger for council’s front line workers

Nick off? St Kilda FC captain Nick Riewoldt (right), pictured at a Saints By The Bay community day in Frankston last month, and his teammates could leave Seaford’s Belvedere Park (above) to head back to the team’s orginal home ground at Junction Oval in St Kilda just five years into the club’s 50-year lease agreement with Frankston Council.

Saints may be on the march Continued from Page 1

Team captain Nick Riewoldt led criticism of the move, telling Triple M radio last year that it was “sad” players had to train at Seaford.

“Moorabbin holds a pretty special place, particularly in the senior players’ hearts, it was sad as a player to move down to Seaford,” he said.

Riewoldt said he lived in South Melbourne so it was more convenient for him to drive the shorter distance to Moorabbin for training.

The Saints opted for the Seaford switch from Moorabbin after a 42 years when Kingston Council refused to let the club move more than 80 poker machines from its social club to a proposed new venue in the same suburb.

Frankston Council justified spending millions of dollar worth of ratepayers’ money to lure the Saints to Seaford by estimating the community would see more than $42.5m of “on-flow benefits” annually “once the Saints settle in Frankston”.

Critics of the deal at the time, including some councillors, had argued the money could be bet-

ter spent, saying council should not hand over a large sum of money to a professional AFL club when many community sports clubs were short of funds.

Supporters of the deal said the elite Seaford sporting precinct would be open to community sports clubs. The Seaford Tigers Cricket Club also uses the precinct as its base.

However, council has not given up hope that St Kilda will honour its commitment to remain at Seaford until 2035.

“We have signed a 50-year lease agreement with the St Kilda Football Club and have worked in partnership with the club to establish strong ties within our community,” Cr Taylor said.

“We look forward to further developing our relationship with the St Kilda Football Club as they see out their remaining 45-year agreement with Frankston City Council.”

St Kilda declined to comment further until more details of the Junction Oval redevelopment were known.

Mayor finds more joy sitting than standing

To advertise in Frankston Times, contact Anton Hoffman on 0411 119 379 or email anton@mpnews.com.au

LATE last month Frankston Cr Darrel Taylor’s ambition was to stand as a candidate for the Liberal Party. However, his hopes were dashed when the party faithful chose Sean Armistead.

But for two Tuesday’s running Cr Taylor won the praise and support of eight artists for his good graces in agreeing to sit for a portrait.

Members of the McClelland Guild of Artists' Self Help Portrait Group said took an interest in the progress of

paintings, asking how underpainting and choice of colour was being managed by the painters.

This portrait group held at the guild's studio in the grounds of McClelland Gallery, Langwarrin, has been running for more than 15 years with many of its founding artists still attending.

The artists from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula were working in oils, acrylics, gouache, pastel

and pencil on canvas, board and sketchbooks.

Cr Taylor was presented with Gippsland painter Gael Smith's finished portrait, painted over the two weeks, with gold leaf mayoral chain added as “homework”.

Cr Taylor said he was impressed with the diversity of portraits and asked if they all could be exhibited at the council chambers.

$1.5m trade skills centre gets go ahead A $1.5 million trade skills centre specialising in agriculture and hospitality qualifications will be built at Bayside Christian College, the federal government announced last week.

Dunkley MP Bruce Billson visited the Langwarrin secondary college last week to confirm the funding arrangement and approval of plans.

Mr Bruce Billson said the new centre would significantly increase vocational education and training opportunities available to students.

He said the new training centre would allow Bayside Christian College students and secondary students from other schools in the area to nationally accredited certificate II programs in agriculture and hospitality.

“The Australian Government’s Trade Skills Centre program has provided $209 million to build 136 new trades skills centres at more than 220 schools Australia wide and I am so pleased Bayside Christian College was selected,” Mr Billson said.

“The trade skills centre will increase vocational educational and training options available to students interested in agriculture and hospitality in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Region.”

Bayside Christian College principal Chris Prior said the school was excited to be given the opportunity to provide students with “invaluable training and tools for the future”.

The college purchased 64 acres of land last year across the road from the

school to build the new facility, which will include a commercial kitchen and agriculture facility incorporating aquaponics, potting and machinery sheds and a poultry enclosure.

“Our centre will be unique in that it will address national and local skills shortages by embracing a ‘paddock to plate’ approach to support the region’s local and growing agri-tourism industry,” he said.

“It will allow us to deliver qualifications in agriculture and hospitality and will include the trade of a pastry cook – and we all love pastry.

“The college’s goal is to increase opportunities and skills in the areas of organic farming, farm-gate hospitality and tourism, and to build community resilience to climate change.

“It is with much anticipation that we look forward to establishing a trade skills centre which meets the needs of students in our community who like to learn by doing and are seeking to pursue careers as trade professionals.”

The college recently submitted building plans to Frankston Council for approval, including an application for a new junior secondary school facility.

Architectural drawings of the planned facilities are on display in the school’s administration Foyer.

Building work on the trade skills centre is expected to start mid-year and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year in time for classes to begin in 2015.

Future focus: Belvedere Park Primary School principal Brad Clark and school captains Fergus and Piper welcomed news of a $540,000 funding grant announced during a visit to the school by Carrum MP Donna Bauer and the Premier Dennis Napthine.

Belvedere Park school to get face-lift BELVEDER Park Primary School will receive a “much needed face-lift” after the state government announced a $540,000 grant.

The Premier Dennis Napthine visited the school on Friday 4 April to announce funding for upgrades to the Seaford school’s learning and administration areas.

“More than 300 students attend the school and this funding will provide

them with brand new, improved learning spaces that will complement modern teaching methods,” Dr Napthine said.

“This announcement will allow the school to upgrade its learning areas, administration areas and other general improvements.”

Carrum MP Donna Bauer, who also attended the school for the announcement, said the project that will provide

long-term benefits to the growing area.

“Carrum is a thriving community and it’s great to able to announce another important project that will provide long-term benefits to local families,” she said.

Dr Napthine said he was so impressed by the pupils’ warm welcome that they could have an extra two weeks of holidays for their term break.

Polly waffle hits the drawing board

Drawing the truth out: Editor Russ Radcliffe, compiler of the annual Best Australian Political Cartoons book, with a caricature of Prime Minister Tony Abbott. Picture: Yanni

The title of the exhibition is a reference to Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s gaffe last year on the election campaign trail when he declared that no one politician could be “the suppository of all wisdom”.

Radcliffe said he sees political cartoons as “an alternative and subversive pictorial history” that shed a light on political decisions and events.

“The best political cartoons have a really good idea for a joke at a

powerful person’s expense at its core, and sum up yet also provide comment on a contemporary issue,” he said.

“It’s a very powerful means of making people think about something important in a new way.”

The exhibition and book features work by many of Australia’s most renowned cartoonists such as the Sydney Morning Herald’s Alan Moir, The Australian newspaper’s Bill Leak and Jon Kudelka, The Age’s Matt Golding and Judy Horacek.

BONSAI EXHIBITION

By Neil Walker SOME might say Australian politics has become farcical in recent years, with many voters disillusioned at the vapid adversarial posturing of politicians hell-bent on gaining power for power’s sake, without any conviction of what to do once they get into government.

But the personal nature of much of what passes for political debate has been a boon for one group of interested observers – political cartoonists.

Satirical looks at politicians from all parties have never been more popular, often summing up serious news events better than thousands of words can.

Social media users now regularly pass on the best of these cartoons to thousands of others who may not have seen the political sketches in its original publication.

Russ Radcliffe has been gathering the best political cartoons of the year to be compiled into the Best Australian Political Cartoons book, which has been published by Scribe Publications since 2004. He will visit the Mornington Peninsula later this month to discuss the latest edition.

An exhibition of the best political cartoons from 2013, selected by Radcliffe, entitled Suppositories of Wisdom, is being hosted at Antipodes Gallery & Bookshop in Sorrento until Saturday 3 May. Radcliffe will give a talk on political cartooning and the events of last year on Saturday 19 April at the Sorrento bookshop.

Radcliffe is based in Richmond and had the idea to exhibit political cartoons at Antipodes Gallery & Bookshop since he is a regular customer there when he visits his mother who lives in Rye. “It’s a fantastic bookshop and it has a great gallery space,” he said.

When asked to nominate his personal favourites, Radcliffe said he loves the work of The Australian Financial Review’s David Crowe whose “anarchic and highly-detailed images” are “absolutely wonderful”.

“His work isn’t seen by a huge circulation since the AFR is aimed at the business circles niche so it’s good to give his work another outlet for publication,” Radcliffe said.

He also nominated Alan Moir and The Age’s John Spooner as cartoonists he is always keen to see their take on political events.

His favourite sketch of last year was the Sun-Herald’s Cathy Wilcox’s Walkley Award-winning effort lampooning the return of prime minister Kevin Rudd to Kirribilli House and ordering a cleaner to remove all traces of his predecessor, Julia Gillard.

“It depicted Rudd as a ‘details freak’ obsessed with erasing any remnant of Gillard’s time at the helm after she was instrumental in disposing him from the prime ministership in the first instance,” Radcliffe said.

“Sometimes, I don’t agree with the Walkleys judges’ choice but last year I thought they got it spot on.”

Radcliffe said former Crikey cartoonist First Dog on the Moon

(also known as Andrew Marlton), had “a new style” that initially seems “childish” but is “completely original and never boring”. He said First Dog’s comic strip approach to political cartoons allowed him to expand on themes unlike other cartoonists who can be restricted by the genre’s one-panel format.

First Dog on the Moon, also a Walkley award winner, was recently poached from Crikey by The Guardian newspaper’s Australian website.

Radcliffe spent a decade at Scribe Publications as commissioning editor before heading out on his own to found his own publishing house, High Horse.

He continues to compile the Best Australian Political Cartoons each year for Scribe.

“High Horse publishes non-fiction travel books, political books, history and crime novels,” he said. “I’m always on the look out for good and original Australian writing talent”.

The Best Australian Political Cartoons 2013 book is available to buy at all good bookstores.

Cartoonists are paid royalties from the book’s sales and Radcliffe said it is a great way to own a record of the past year’s political events for future reference.

Russ Radcliffe will give a talk on political cartooning at the Suppositories of Wisdom exhibition at Antipodes Gallery & Bookshop, 138 Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento on Saturday 18 April at 2pm.

Self-serve bandit POLICE are investigating the armed robbery of a Frankston service station on Wednesday night during which a man brandishing a knife threatened a shop attendant.

The man, aged in his mid 20s, entered the service station on Nepean Highway on foot around 9.50pm.

However, when the bandit produced a knife, the quick-thinking staff member hid inside a secure room to the rear of the cashier section.

Not to be deterred, the thief helped himself to the till, stealing a small amount of cash.

He was last seen fleeing north along the Nepean Highway. Police are reviewing CCTV footage in a bid to identify the man involved.

He is described as being Caucasian and wearing a hooded top, pants and runners.

Anyone with any information is asked to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Police nab fleeing teens AN ill-advised early morning decision cost two teenagers their monkey bikes following a pursuit in Frankston last week.

Police were called to Meerlu Ave around 7am on Saturday 5 April following a number of complaints from residents about motorbikes being ridden loudly in the area.

Frankston highway patrol officers attempted to stop the two riders in Karingal Drive but the pair sped away. Police pursued the bikes for a short distance but terminated the chase due to safety concerns as hit speeds of around 70km/h.

Bu police were a step ahead and attended an address in Meerlu Ave around 8am where the two monkey bikes and their riders were located. The two 17-year-olds tested positive to alcohol. Their monkey bikes were impounded and both will be charged on summons with a range of offences.

Arsonists torch school A FIRE that destroyed two classrooms at a disused Frankston North school is believed to have been deliberately lit. Frankston CFA was called to a blaze at the former St Anthony’s Coptic Orthodox College in Alpina St about 8.30am on Wednesday 9 April after smoke was seen billowing from windows. Firefighters were able to bring the blaze under control quickly but two rooms were extensively damaged.

The site was sealed off the site after asbestos was discovered. The independent school, which was established in 1995 and had more than 200 students from prep to year 12, was shut down at the end of 2012 due to financial issues. Picture: Gary Sissons

Police clamp down on hoons POLICE are clamping down on hoons under a new pilot program that will see the vehicles of offending drivers immobilised at their own homes.

Under the program, which will be trialled over the next six months, Victoria Police will be able to issue orders for vehicles to be immobilised at a private address instead of being impoundment.

Highway patrol officers who detect offences such as excessive speeding, repeat drink driving or disqualified driving, will be able to apply to have a vehicle immobilised using wheel clamps or steering locks.

The immobilisation will be carried out by a third party provider within 10 days of the offence.

If police decide that immobilisation is unsuitable, then the vehicle will be impounded in accordance with current practice.

Road Policing commander Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said the pilot was being undertaken to determine if immobilisation was

a viable, effective and sustainable alternative to impoundment. He said Victoria Police had always had the power to immobilise a vehicle under the Road Safety Act 1986, however recent legislative changes made it possible to outsource immobilisation to contractors.

“Victoria Police impounded around 4600 vehicles last year and we are projecting a similar number of impounds this year,” he said.

“This pilot will determine what the benefits are to the community and the police.

“We believe immobilisation will reduce our vehicle storage costs, but more importantly, it will alleviate officers having to wait around for tow trucks and get them back on the road.”

A sticker will be placed on the vehicle outlining the fines associated with tampering with the immobilisation device or unauthorised relocation of the vehicle. The pilot will run until 30 September 2014.

Slip, slide, crash A 64-year-old woman from Mt Eliza was taken to hospital by ambulance after being cut free from the wreckage of her Mercedes Benz sedan following a crash in Baxter last week. The woman was waiting at traffic lights at the corner of Sages Rd and the Moorooduc Highway about 4.45pm on Wednesday when her car was struck in the side by a Toyota Land Cruiser driven by a 19-year-old P-plater. Police said the accident occurred when the Land Cruiser travelling north along the highway lost control after skidding in wet conditions as the driver attempted to brake at the traffic lights. “The lights had just changed to red and driver of the 4WD vehicle had braked but skidded and slid across the road into the sedan, which was stopped on Sages Rd at a red light,” police said. SES emergency crews were forced to cut out the driver’s side door to free the woman, who was the only occupant of the car. Her husband had been following in vehicle directly behind. She was taken to Frankston Hospital in a stable condition with non-life threatening injuries. Picture: Gary Sissons

Peninsula possums ring in breeding season

By Chris Brennan PENINSULA residents are being asked to keep an eye out for fury neighbours, with ringtail possum breeding season starting this month and set to create plenty of extra activity and interaction with humans.

The Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife said now was the ideal time for people to catch a glimpse of ringtail possums, which are more timid than their larger brushtail cousins, while also helping minimise potential hazards.

Foundation chief executive Susanna Bradshaw said it was important peninsula residents found out more about ringtails, which she described as “delightful” to watch.

“Look out for ringtail possums at the moment as they are looking for mates and getting ready to bring some gorgeous babies into the world,” she said.

“Once the young are born they will stay in mum’s pouch for four months until they’re big enough to ride around on their parents’ backs.

She said ringtail males made great fathers.

“They are the only possum dads who stick around and help mum raise the kiddies.”

The more familiar possums that can sound like “elephants trampling across your roof at night” were likely to be brushtail possums, not ringtails.

“Ringtail possums are smaller and daintier than brushies. They don’t tend to live in your roof like brushies sometimes do. Ringtails prefer to build themselves a cosy tree nest out of sticks, called a drey.

She said the tail and size set the two species apart, with a ringtail’s white-tipped tail being much thinner and less furry than those of brushies.

“The ringtail’s prehensile tail can be used like an extra hand so don’t be surprised if you see one carrying sticks, bark or other nesting material curled up in its tail as it travels around.

“You often see them doing death-defying tightrope walks along powerlines. Unfortunately,

Possum magic: It’s breeding season for ringtail possums, so residents can expect to see and hear more activity.

if they touch two lines at once, they get zapped.

If you ever see an injured possum, make sure you call your local wildlife carer.” Ms Bradshaw asked peninsula residents – especially gardeners whose prized flowers might suffer – to be tolerant of the increase in ringtail possum activity brought on by breeding season.

“Seeing a baby possum poking its head out of mummy’s pouch or clinging to her back is a gorgeous image so remember that those noises in the night or a few missing flowers will all be worth it in a few months,” she said. “Ringtail possums sometimes get a bad rap for eating our

favourite roses, but it’s important to understand these possums have had to adapt to urban life in order to survive.

“As humans build on their habitats, they’ve had to find new food to eat and try to live with us side by side.

“We’re not saying you have to just put up with their desire to nibble your flowers, you just need to be as smart as they are and come up with a solution that both parties will be happy with.

We have a few tips that can help you deal with possum related issues.”

Tips to follow if you have ringtail possums

living near you include shining a light on plants you want to protect during the night, using commercial sprays that are harmless to bugs but leave a bitter smell and taste for possums, and keeping cats and dogs indoors at night to make sure they won’t be able to kill or injure ringtail possums.

Australia’s Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife runs a free Backyard Buddies program that provides tips to make backyards inviting and safe for native animals. To join or for more information on ringtail possums, visit www. backyardbuddies.net.au

Guess who’s having an election near you

By Keith Platt IT’S an election year and the politicians are busy providing photo opportunities, reminding voters of past good deeds, failures by oppositions and former governments and promises of better things to come – if they get your vote.

Former Liberal and now Independent Geoff Shaw, who holds the seat of Frankston, does not go out of his way with staged photo opportunites, possibly because attracting publicity has not been a problem.

Rarely has a week gone by since his election in 2010 that the so-called balance of power MP has not provided a headline. Issues have involved his family, alleged misuse of his parliamentary car, his resignation from the parliamentary Liberal Party on the same day that then Premier Ted Baillieu stepped down from the top job, a bitter clash with Speaker Ken Smith and using his balance of power vote to influence government policy.

Mr Shaw last month resigned from the Liberal Party itself, just ahead of a vote being taken within the party to cast him adrift.

But now that Mr Shaw is on his own, the two major parties want to regain Frankston for themselves.

Mr Shaw won Frankston for the Liberals with a majority of four per cent after distribution of preferences.

He has given no indication that he won’t seek re-election, but if he does take this one last big chance to exert a difference in state politics, his preferences will most probably decide the winner.

Last Wednesday Ports Minister David Hodgett, Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor (who recently missed out on being preselected as the Liberal candidate) stood in the rain to be photographed at the new boat ramp in Kananook Creek with Liberal candidate Sean Armistead.

Cranes looming in the background over the construction site for South East Water’s new headquarters helped hammer home the government’s “we get things done” message.

Unfortunately for the posing politicians a disabled boat towed in by the Water Police had to be cast off so its occupants could haul it across the silted-up entrance before paddling to the safety of the ramp.

The focus on the creek came a couple of hours after Labor had provided its own photo op, with Frankston candidate Helen Constas and Opposition Health Spokesman Gavin Jennings posed outside Frankston Hospital to reinforce their claim that the Abbott government “will cut nearly $12 million from Peninsula Health, putting more pressure on the Frankston Hospital which is already in crisis”.

An ambulance carrying a message about paramedics’ pay and conditions dispute with the state government served as a handy prop.

The events are staged and the media obliges by going along for the ride. Often the media, as in these two cases, is represented by a single photographer with nary a voter in sight.

But that really doesn’t matter to the presenting pollies, they just want the picture and some words in print.

And your vote.

Library fun stuff stops families cracking up over Easter break

Hip Hop to it: (from left) Milly, Nia, Ava and Sophia at a break dancing session at Frankston Library over the Easter break. Picture: Gary Sissons

FRANKSTON City libraries is hosting loads of free fun events to keep kids entertained during the Easter break.

Kids of all ages can join in the fun of activities such as hip hop dancing, Minecraft papercraft sessions, a movie screening and special storytime sessions.

It all takes place at Frankston and Carrum Downs libraries.

Library programming coordinator Kathy Blair

said the libraries run four school holiday programs a year and the activities are always popular with families.

“All of our booked events were filled to capacity within the first week of the holidays,” she said.

Events that do not need pre-bookings are also being held.

Visit www.library.frankston.vic.gov.au/events or call 9784 1020 for full details of free libraries activities.

Riders raring to go FRANKSTON DOLPHINS conditioning coach Rick Mirabella never intended to get on his bike but the Chelsea Heights resident was “persuaded” to join a four-man cycling team set to rise 1000 kilometres to raise money for the Leukaemia and Myeloma Foundations.

The 31-year-old personal fitness trainer said he is not a cyclist but three of his personal fitness clients - Ian Brady, Troy Puller and Ash Bassett - convinced him to join their Ride For Recovery team to take on the challenge of cycling 1000km from Adelaide to Melbourne.

“We’ll ride about 150km per day so it’ll be seven days in the saddle,” Mirabella said.

“The training for the ride has been a bit different from my usual routine and I’m guessing by the end of the week’s cycling I won’t want to sit on a saddle for a long time afterwards.”

Mirabella is a distance running specialist so reckoned his fitness should put him in good stead for the journey ahead.

He recently hosted a female footy match which raised $1000 towards his goal to raise $4500 for the Leukaemia and Myeloma Foundations.

The Ride For Recovery will leave Adelaide on Monday 21 April.

Cyclists will take in the views of some scenic towns and areas of South Australia including Harndorf and the

Motown man takes final bow in Frankston

By Neil Walker MUSIC lost one of its greats this month with the passing of composer, arranger and trumpeter Gil Askey at the age of 89.

His name may not be as well known as some of the music legends he worked alongside, but his influence on their songs behind the scenes helped form the world-renowned Motown sound and launched some music greatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; careers into the stratosphere.

Askey was born in Austin, Texas on 9 March 1925 and emigrated to Australia from the US in 1980. He made the Mornington Peninsula his home for the past few decades, and dedicated his later years to passing on lessons learned from his extensive music experience to future generations of musicians, teaching music at Woodleigh School in Langwarrin.

The Washington Post described Askey as â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the architects of the legendary Motown soundâ&#x20AC;? in a 2004 interview with the soul and jazz music legend. He performed with many iconic musicians such as Mile Davies, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and Count Basie.

He also worked as a music director for several famous Motown acts including Diana Ross, The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5 and Gladys Knight throughout the record labelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful 1960s heyday.

He continued working with Diana Ross in the 1970s and 1980s and was nominated for a Best Original Score Oscar for his production and arrangement of the Lady Sings The Blues movie soundtrack. The 1972 film was a biopic of Billie Holiday and featured Diana Ross in her debut appearance as an actor.

Askey told journalist George Negus in a 2004 interview broadcast on ABC TV that â&#x20AC;&#x153;music completely took over my lifeâ&#x20AC;? from when he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;about seven, eight years oldâ&#x20AC;? after he saw Louis Armstrong perform for the first time.

He left Austin when he was 17 to join the US Army Air Corps in 1944 and subsequently headed to university on a medical scholarship where he studied to become a doctor but dropped out to tune in after two years when the call of his first love music became too much to resist.

He began to realise he had a flair for musical composition and arrangement when he enrolled at the Boston Conservatory of Music and then the Harnett National Music Studios in Manhattan.

Askeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional music career began as a band member for several 1950s and 60s jazz bands and a move

Musician of note: Gil Askey memorable career took him from jazz to the studios of Motown and finally to share his knowledge with students from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Picture: Yanni

to Detroit brought him to the attention of Berry Gordyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nascent Motown record label, where his exceptional composing talents quickly saw him became a vital part of Motownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success.

He was the in-studio composer and arranger of many of Motownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mid to late-1960s hit singles and albums and was hired by Diana Ross as her musical director after she split from The Supremes in 1969.

Askey also contributed in his own

way to the disco boom in the 1970s, hopping genres to compose the smash hit Runaway Love for Linda Clifford.

As he told George Negus in 2004: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just musicâ&#x20AC;Śpeople were dancing.â&#x20AC;?

Askey moved to Australia from the US in 1980 after he married his Australian wife, Ellen, who he first met at Festival Hall in 1973 while on tour in Melbourne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seven years later I married this lady

and it changed my whole life,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The married couple had a son, Eric, in 1982. A daughter, Emile, followed.

Askey was still held in such high regard by Motown in 1983 that he was hired to produce the US television special Motown: Yesterday, Today, Forever featuring performances from the likes of Lionel Ritchie, The Commodores, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Junior Walker, The Miracles and The Four Tops.

Michael Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance of Billie Jean on the show featured the first public outing of his famous Moonwalk dance. The reaction of the audience to the never before seen dance move was so enthusiastic, the taping of the show had to be stopped to allow them to regain their composure so filming of Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance could be completed.

Askey retired from touring soon after the birth of his son and settled down in Melbourne and then the Mornington Peninsula.

He returned to performing live in the early 1990s around Melbourne and its suburbs, often accompanied by Hammond player Paul Williamson as part of the The John Montesante Quintet.

In 2010 he appeared as a guest team member on ABC TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music quiz show Spicks and Specks. Show host Adam Hills tweeted via Twitter upon hearing of Askeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a true musical legend, and a terrifically lovely manâ&#x20AC;?.

Askey taught music at Langwarrinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Woodleigh School and was music director of the Peninsula Youth Music Society band for several years.

Woodleigh School issued a message of condolence on Facebook: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our thoughts are with the family and friends of our great friend and teacher, Gil Askey, who passed away on Wednesday afternoon. Thanks for the tunes, the passion and fun.â&#x20AC;?

A former student of Askey at Woodleigh School said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think of the first time he pointed to me [at age 15], smiled that smile of his and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey guitar man! Play me the blues!â&#x20AC;?.

Every time I walk on stage I play the way I do because of my time learning from Gil at Woodleigh.â&#x20AC;?

Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and music critic Leonard Pitts Jr said Askeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1968 arrangement of the Christmas standard Silent Night for The Temptations as â&#x20AC;&#x153;spiritually, emotionallyâ&#x20AC;Śtranscendentâ&#x20AC;?.

Askey will now â&#x20AC;&#x153;sleep in heavenly peace.â&#x20AC;?

Gil Askey died on Wednesday 9 April at the age of 89. He is survived by his wife Ellen, son Eric, daughter Emile and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Tibetan festival over Easter TIBETAN monks and nuns will celebrate the Tibetan Year of the Wood Horse with a Lungta festival at Rosebud Memorial Hall over the Easter weekend.

The year of the wood horse is said to potentially bring disruptive challenges that can be overcome by adhering to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s values and principles, and extending compassion to others.

The festival includes Tibetan cultural activities ranging from meditation to childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s singing bowl workshops.

Lama Tendar, pictured, of the Medicine Buddha Centre in South Frankston will lead chanting and morning meditation sessions.

Workshops will be conducted by Lama Tendar, assisted by Buddhist nun Ani Chodron and other practitioners.

Vegetarian food and drinks will be available during the weekend.

On Good Friday night, 18 April, there will be a fundraising concert for the Tibetan Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fund for education and healthcare of children and monks in Kham, eastern Tibet.

The concert will include chanting and music by Lama Tendar accompanied by Liam Kelly.

Lama Tendar was born in Kham and trained for more than 30 years as a monk in Tibet and India. He became an Australian citizen in 2005 and has been given dispensation by the Tibetan government-in-exile to work in the community.

Details of the two-day program are at www.tendar.net

Tank farm increase UNITED Petrol has applied to add two 25 million litre storage tanks to its Hastings depot.

The tank farm in Bayview Rd is on low lying land between two creeks.

In an application lodged with Mornington Peninsula Shire United Petrol seeks permission to build the two new tanks, earthworks, realign a fire break and extend its truck loading and turning area.

There will be eight tanks at the depot if council agrees to the plan.A 400 metre residential zone offset applies to the site. Council has said it will not make a decision before this Thursday, 10 April.

Concerns have already been raised at the increasing number of residents in the area and traffic movements, particularly fuel trucks.

Fire bans off, but Fair go promised permits still needed for zone 2 travel

EVEN though the CFA has lifted fire bans throughout Frankston, permits are still needed for burning off.

Penalties start at $500 for burning off without a permit and last year several infringements were issued for those failing to obtain permits or adhere to the restrictions of the permits.

“Frankston Council has a robust fire management plan and works closely with the Country Fire Authority and other stakeholders to ensure our city is best prepared to deal with the threat of fire,” the mayor Cr Darrel Taylor said.

“This plan extends to the colder months where it is important we ensure all fires are conducted appropriately.

“Council receives a large number of complaints every year from suburban areas regarding burning off and smoke and this can present health issues for many people.”

THE CFA-declared fire danger period has ended on the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston.

Although the ban has been lifted, Trevor Owen of the CFA warned recent grassfires “demonstrat-

ed how quickly fires could take hold”.

“Grassfires travel faster than you can run. They can threaten properties and even kill,” he said.

“People should have a fire plan and prepare for the event of fire – never be complacent.”

Mr Owen said tips for burning off included:  Check local bylaws before lighting a fire.  Never leave a burn-off unattended.  Tell neighbours and call Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority on 1800 668 511 so brigades aren’t called out unnecessarily  Create a fire break of at least three metres.  Check the weather forecast and never burn off in dry, hot and windy conditions.

Fire Ready kits and household bushfire self-assessment forms are on the CFA’s website or call 1800 240 667.

Burning off application forms are available on council’s website and at customer service centres.

Hot warning from blue art biodynamic winery Prancing Horse Estate on Easter Sunday, the first of events being held to mark the Chinese Year of the Horse.

“Every year about 800,000 square miles of old forests are felled. These trees breathe for the planet and are essential to our survival,” winery owner Tony Hancy said.

been careful to ensure that discounted fares applying to travel within outer suburban area remained in place.

“It’s important that people living in zone 2 areas continue to enjoy those benefits,” he said.

“At the same time, people travelling to the city will save a substantial amount of money.

“That is the object: to make public transport cheaper and therefore more attractive.”

Mr Dixon said the government would continue to look at option to extend services across the peninsula, including the possible addition of express services between major hubs.

Mornington MP David Morris said the initiative would not only provide cost savings for people travelling to the city, but also would make moving around the CBD much easier.

“Many peninsula residents travel to Melbourne for work commitments, sporting events, shopping and holidays,” Mr Morris said.

“From 1 January, people will no longer be required to purchase a Myki or top up their Myki Money to use CBD trams.

“This means people visiting the city will be able to hop on and off any tram travelling within Docklands and the CBD grid for free.

“It will also mean people travelling for work will no longer need to catch taxis or pay for Mykis to take short trips across the city between meetings.”

Mr Morris said the savings would be especially significant for families, who could expect to save $20 or $30 on a single trip to the city.

“The money will now go straight back into mum and dad’s pocket for use elsewhere,” he said.

TREES growing on a Red Hill South winery are about to turn blue.

The unnatural colour change to the landscape is designed to highlight the effects of deforestation and its impact on global warming.

Egyptian-born installation artist Konstantin Dimopoulos launched The Blue Trees at the Vancouver Biennale in 2011 and has since reproduced it at many locations in the United States and outside St Paul’s in London.

His latest creation will be unveiled at the

By Chris Brennan FRANKSTON and peninsula public transport users will be among the main beneficiaries of changes to fare structures promised by both the state government and opposition that will deliver substantial savings on travel between outer suburbs and the city.

Labor last week backed the Coalition government’s plan to scrap zone 1 and 2 charges applying to bus, rail and tram journeys between Melbourne’s outer and inner travel zones and to make all tram trips in the CBD free.

The government said that from 1 January, public transport users travelling between zones 1 and 2 would be charged the zone 1 rate only, resulting in savings of about 60 per cent on current fares.

Passengers travelling from Frankston or the Mornington Peninsula to the city who are currently charged a daily zone 1+2 rate of $12.12, or $6.06 concession, would pay the zone 1 rate of $7.16, or $3.58 concession.

Nepean MP Martin Dixon confirmed cheaper rates currently applying to travel between zone 2 destinations, such as from the peninsula to Frankston, would remain in place under the new system.

Travel within outer suburban areas is about 70 per cent cheaper than equivalent trips confined to zone 1, with a discounted daily rate of $4.96, or $2.48 concession, applying to zone 2 journeys.

It had been reported in mainstream media outlets that under the changes, zone 1 rates would apply across the entire Melbourne public transport network, which would have resulted in a 70 per cent jump in fares for travel within zone 2.

However, Mr Dixon said the government had

Inquiry into why youngsters are dropping the ball

By Keith Platt A WORKING party is investigating ways to keep younger footballers playing the game as they grow older.

Dropouts among 16- to 20-yearolds are leaving many clubs struggling on the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston.

“There has always been a natural drop-off caused by studies, jobs and an interest in cars, girls and the beach,” AFL South East region general manager Jeremy Bourke said.

“We want to make sure clubs make the most of their opportunities and help struggling clubs move forward rather than holding back clubs that are flourishing.”

The working party is “reviewing the structure of football through the 16-20-year-old age groups”.

Clubs in the region have been invited to join the working party being established by AFL South East.

Leagues involved include Peninsula and Nepean football netball leagues, Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League and South East Juniors as well as the Southern Umpires Association.

Mr Bourke said under-17 competitions had started this year in the Casey Cardinia league and South East Juniors but similar proposals from Frankston District Junior Football League and for Colts in the Peninsula league had been vetoed by AFL Victoria Country and PCN Sports Alliance.

Mr Bourke said the plans would be reviewed by the working party and he was hopeful the Frankston under-17 and Colts competitions could begin next year.

Dolphins’ historic connections are Gold IT was a memorable practice game last month between Frankston VFL Dolphins and Bendigo Gold.

The game at Strathfieldsaye was easily won by the Dolphins, 16.7-103 to the Gold’s 9.8-62, but it also brought back memories for 82-year-old Max Watts, left.

Mr Watts, at the game to watch his grandson play for Bendigo, brought along a team photo taken when he was playing for Frankston juniors in 1949.

Frankston president John Barry, right, who had a chance meeting with the former Frankston player, said he was delighted to see the old photos relating to his club’s history.

“As part of the review, issues such as – but not limited to – the suitability of current and potential structures, demographic shifts, club settings and other influences will be considered,” Mr Bourke stated in a news release.

“The review aims to produce recom-

mendations based on detailed analysis and data, which leagues can use to determine the structure that ensures as many young adults within their community remain in the game as possible.

“Over the years within our sport,

there has been constant dialogue between stakeholders on how to ensure players are not lost through the transition to senior football.

“The sustainability of clubs, the dynamics of competitions and the positive impact on local communities

both economically and socially are jeopardised when playing numbers diminish.”

Mr Bourke said the review followed “a time of significant focus on youth football in the region over the offseason”.

WHAT’S NEW

Coles Carrum Downs adds fashion to grocery aisles COLES will introduce fashion to the grocery aisles when the new-look Carrum Downs store launches on Wednesday 9 April as Coles celebrates exactly 100 years since it opened its first store in Collingwood.

The refurbished store will employ an extra 10 new team members to add to its team of 125 employees and will include a new selection of clothing and accessories from fashion brand Mix Apparel.

The new-look Coles will also feature a new instore bakery, which will entice customers with the sight and smell of freshly baked bread. The Carrum Downs Coles bakery team will prepare Coles’ signature range of bread daily, producing handmade sourdough bread and buttery croissants for shoppers to enjoy hot off the shelves at the self-service artisan counter.

Elsewhere, shoppers will be treated to an upgraded fresh food department, with the inclusion of a ‘Scoop and Weigh’ section and fresh fruit and vegetables will be served on ice to maintain freshness.

Coles Carrum Downs Store manager Helen McLaren said she was looking forward to unveiling the redesigned store and welcoming local shoppers to experience a new and exciting look and feel to the store.

“We cannot wait to welcome our loyal customers into our new-look store and believe they will be impressed by the additions we’ve made. The Mix Apparel clothing range is a great addition and being able to smell the fresh bread from the new bakery will most definitely put a smile on our customers’ faces.”

Helen said.

“The new team members are looking forward to welcoming the Carrum Downs community and showcasing the fantastic new look and feel of the store,” Helen added.

As part of Coles’ Australia-first sourcing policy across Victoria, around 96 per cent of the fresh fruit and vegetables on offer at Coles is Australian grown.

Coles Carrum Downs is located within the Carrum Downs Plaza Shopping Centre, cnr McCormicks and Ballarto Roads, Carrum Downs. The store is open from 6am to midnight seven days a week.

Healthy mum equals healthy baby Give foot and leg pain the boot IF you have foot and leg pain or injuries you can feel confident knowing that expert help is just around the corner.

Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s leading Podiatry practices focussed on assisting pain, injuries and degenerative issues, have successfully treated some of the World’s Best Athletes and thousands of people just like you.

Podiatrist Dr. David Kavanagh, who heads Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza and Rye says, “We see many people with painful conditions who have suffered unnecessarily. Thanks to the latest medical research and treatments, most foot and leg pain can be treated relatively easily and effectively. We can even assist soft tissue regeneration and heal injuries thanks to new injection therapies, which are natural and safe.”

Dr. Kavanagh advises getting a second opinion if you’ve been told any of the following relating to your foot and leg pain: 1.You require surgery – With the latest advances in medical research and treatments surgery can be avoided in many cases.

2.You require cortisone injections or anti-inflammatory medications – such treatments have now been proven to have many negative side effects including damaging tissue and delay-

ing healing. There are more effective, natural alternatives.

3.There is nothing that can be done for you.

There is nearly always something that can be done to assist. Just because one person doesn’t know how to assist, doesn’t mean there is nothing that can be done.

Dr. Kavanagh explains, “Health and healing is not a one size fits all approach, to achieve successful, long term outcomes for patients practitioners need to; take the time to find and address the cause of concerns and not just treat the symptoms; take a holistic approach to healing as one issue can set off a chain reaction in the body and keep up-to-date with the very latest medical research and treatments.

In order to prescribe the very best treatment option for each individual, nutritional and lifestyle factors and requirements also need to be addressed, as well as overall health and injury concerns.”

If you suffer any foot and leg pain including: heel, arch, shin or forefoot pain, plantar fasciitis, ankle or knee pain and injuries, bunions or arthritis call Foot + Leg Pain Clinics on 1300 328 300.

PREGNANCY is one of the most important and joyous events of your life. Dr Poonam Arora from St John of God Hospital in Berwick, says women contemplating pregnancy often present for their initial appointment overwhelmed and confused by information relating to early pregnancy.

Diet is a major concern for most women, Dr Arora advises that whilst pregnancy increases your need for many extra nutrients such as protein, calcium, iron and certain vitamins only a small increase in calories is needed, it is much more important to focus on good quality food rather than quantity. Planning regular meals and ensuring you are eating a variety of foods from each major food group is extremely important. Folate 600mg daily is important prior to conceiving and during the first 3 months of pregnancy to reduce the risk of spina bifida in babies. At your initial consultation with your obstetrician your weight and height will be measured and your BMI will be calculated. The amount of weight gain that is to be expected is based on your pre pregnancy weight. There are some foods that should be avoided in early pregnancy.

Listeriosis which is a food borne illness can be dangerous to a developing fetus. This may be found in precooked meats e.g. pate, sliced deli meats, cooked diced chicken; Soft cheese,e.g. brie, camembert, ricotta and feta; uncooked smoked or ready to eat seafood; soft serve ice-cream or yoghurt; pre prepared coleslaw and salads; and raw unpasteurised milk or food make from raw milk or raw eggs.

Dr Arora strongly advises that you use this opportunity for both you and your partner to quit smoking. Smoking, including passive smoking, increases many of the risks associated with pregnancy including miscarriage, complication during birth, smaller ba-

bies and many others. Quitting will not only make you feel better, but will give your baby a better start to life. After the birth it is important to continue not to smoke as there is an increased risk of SIDS. There is no safe level of alcohol consumption in Pregnancy.

Dr Arora also advocates regular gentle exercise such as walking and swimming in early pregnancy. Avoid high contact sports or high impact sports and think about enrolling in specific pregnancy fitness classes. Exercise

3-4 times a week for 30-45 minutes.

At your initial consultation your obstetrician will answer any further questions that you have which will help you develop the strong relationship that is required for a happy and healthy pregnancy experience.

Dr Poonam Arora practices at Berwick St John of God Hospital and Casey Public Hospital. She can be contacted on 9769 3223 and further information can be obtained from her website www. drpoonamarora.com.au

Make some String Easter Eggs A fun Easter craft for kids is to have them make string Easter eggs. Buy some balloons and blow them up, then cut out about 30 pieces of string to be 15 centimetres (or the width of the balloon). Dip the pieces of string in glue and wrap them around the balloon individually. You should have a balloon covered in string from all different directions. You will then place the balloon on some non stick paper and allow it to dry for several hours. After the glue is dried, pop the balloon and you have yourself a colorful Easter egg.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Tyabb cool stores to open next week, archbishop to open new church Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 18 April 1914 THE official opening of the local cool stores will take place on Tuesday next, 21st inst. The opening ceremony will be performed by the Hon., The Minister of Agriculture (Mr W. Hutchison) at 11 a.m. Several other speakers are expected to be present, including Mr C. French, Government superintending engineer. Invitations have been extended to the majority of district residents, and a good attendance is anticipated. *** THE new Church is now nearing completion, and will be ready for the opening ceremony on 26th inst. The Archbishop of Melbourne will be in attendance on that day, and the event is being much looked forward to. *** REV. and Mrs Jackson, of Frankston, are at present enjoying a holiday at Donald. *** MR Harold Dial is at present undergoing an enforced holiday at Frankston, as the result of a broken rib, sustained by a fall in the engine room of his boat. *** A PLEASING function took place at Schultz’s Pier Hotel on Wednesday evening last, the occasion being wishing good-bye to SeniorConstable McCallum, who has been recently transferred from Frankston to Geelong. Mr H. Gamble occupied the chair, and spoke in highly complimentary terms of their guest, both as a police officer and a private citizen, and during his stay of 18

months in the district he had gained the respect and esteem of all. He had much pleasure in presenting Mr McCallum with a travelling bag and rug as a small memento of his stay in Frankston, and hoped that his family and himself would continue to enjoy good health and prosperity wherever they are stationed. The remarks of the chairman were heartily endorsed by all present, and “For he’s a jolly good fellow” was sung most lustily.

Mr McCallum feelingly responded, and thanked them most sincerely for the kind remarks made about Mrs McCallum and himself, and also for their handsome presents. While doing his duty as a police officer conscientiously he always tried to do it in the least objectionable manner, and in the majority of cases he always found it best. His stay in Frankston had been a pleasant one, and he hoped when he had leisure to again visit them and renew old acquaintances. After an enjoyable hour had been spent the proceedings terminated with mutual good wishes and hearty hand shakes. *** THE hall at Seaford was crowded on Saturday evening last for the concert given by Mr J. H. Hopkins, in aid of the funds of the Church of England, and the financial results were more than satisfactory. A varied and interesting programme was very enthusiastically received. Mr J. H. Hopkins recited “My Lady’s Leap,” “The Vicar’s Presentation” and “How we played Julius Caesar” besides giving three or four encores. Mrs J. H. Hopkins gave “If we only knew” and “Mrs Bateson’s tea party,” also two child impersonations “The Goblins,”

and “The Missionary,” the latter being an encore. Songs were rendered

Mr Harold Dial is at present undergoing an enforced holiday at Frankston, as the result of a broken rib, sustatined by a fall in the engine room of his boat.

by the Missis Grose and L. Morgan, and Messrs L. R. and P. W. Hopkins.

A humorous trio “Three Old Black Crows “ and a humorous sketch “The Mug,” were well received. *** AN attempt is being made to form a football club here this season. Surely it is not impossible, although the efforts put forward this last couple of years have failed. There is no doubt that there are enough young players living here, if they were all to join the club.

*** IT is with regret we record the death of an old and highly respected resident of Mornington, in the person of Mr Ernest William Schleeba, which took place at his late residence Queen street, Mornington, on Sunday last in his 69th year. The cause of death was dropsy of the heart. The late Mr Schleeba was born in Germany, and came to Australia 48 years ago and was a resident of Mornington for 31 years. In 1887 he took up his residence Frankston, and afterwards removed to the “Briars” at Osborne, and was in the employ of Mr Henry Miller for eleven years. He also was coach driving for Mr Tom Pope for several years and after Mr Pope retired from business he took out a carriers licence, and ran between Mornington and Frankston until the railway opened at Mornington.

He continued his line of business at Mornington until four years ago, when he was laid up with his first illness, and he has been almost an invalid ever since. He leaves a widow and six sons and two daughters for whom the greatest sympathy is felt. The funeral which took place on Tuesday afternoon was largely attended. The Rev. Mr Sandiford and the Rev. Mr Butler spoke very feelingly at the grave. The remains wore interred in the Moorooduc Cemetery. The mortuary arrangements were in the hands of Mr Summerland, of Mornington. *** THE weather during the Easter holidays was cold and windy. Except for occasional showers the rain still continues to hold off. Visitors to Dromana per the Ozone, on Good

Friday, had a most unpleasant voyage. The boat had great difficulty in getting in to the pier. After several attempts the captain was successful, and was greeted with cheers by the admiring crowd assembled. *** £50 HAS been allotted to the Dromana Hall from the Government grant to free libraries for building purposes: The Rev E. Rodda was tendered a farewell social in the hall on Saturday evening last. There was a large number present, including representatives from all denominations. Dr Weld occupied the chair. Songs and recitations were contributed by Miss Kidgell, and Messrs Rankine and Weber. The chairman, on behalf of the residents of Dromana, presented Mr Rodda with a purse of sovereigns, and Miss Katie Townsend, on behalf of the teachers and scholars of St Mark’s Sunday School, presented him with a framed picture. Mr R. Cairns spoke on behalf of the congregation at Rosebud, and Mr Weber expressed regret at the departure of Mr Rodda, on behalf of the Presbyterian Church Mr Rodda, in responding, spoke of the kind hospitality he had received from the members of the congregation during the 11 years he had been their minister. He expressed regret at leaving the district, but as he had arrived at the retiring age and was not in good health, he felt need of a rest.

He would always visit his old friends when opportunity offered, and hoped the church would prosper under their new minister, who was a younger man. A coffee supper was served by the ladies, and all joined in singing “Auld Lang Syne.”

Performance CHRISSIE Hynde was heavily influenced by US soul singers and started practising on a baritone ukulele before picking up a guitar and playing in a band with Devo keyboardist Mark Mothersbaugh. Hynde spent three years studying art at Kent State University before taking up modelling.

She joined a variety of groups including Jack Rabbit with Chris Spedding, Berk Brothers and then was invited by Spedding to do backing vocals on his solo album Hurt.

Hynde put together her first band in 1978 with Pete Farndon (Bass), Martin Chambers (Drums) and James Honeyman-Scott on guitar. The group, then still nameless, recorded Ray Davies’ Stop Your Sobbing, produced

by Nick Lowe. Hynde settled on the name The Pretenders, inspired by The Platters hit The Great Pretender.

In October 79, The Pretenders released Brass in Pocket written by Hyde/Honeyman-Scott and the single hit No.1 on the UK charts. The following year Hynde met her hero Ray Davies and they began a 3-year relationship.

In June 1982, shortly after playing two gigs with The Beach Boys on a US tour, James Honeyman-Scott died following a period of cocaine and heroin addiction.

But on a good note, the Hynde composition Back on the Chain Gang climbed into the US Top 10 (1983) and was used in the Robert De Niro film The King of Comedy. The band hired a new guitarist, Robbie McIntosh (ex-Manfred Mann) and bass player, Malcolm Foster.

Later that year, former Pretenders bass player Pete Farndon died of a drug overdose and Hynde gave birth to her daughter, Natalie HyndeDavies. Hynde and Davies later split and Hynde married Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr and they had a daughter, Yasmin.

In 1985 UB40 invited Hynde to covocal a revival of Sony & Cher’s hit I Got You Babe which became a Top 30 hit.

In 1997, Hynde married Colombian sculptor Lucho Brieva in London, but the marriage only lasted for five years.

Chrissie Hynde will release her first ever solo album Stockholm on 6 June.

Recorded at Ingrid Studios in Stock-

Viavision Australia has a limited number of Cat Stevens (AKA Yusuf) DVDs on sale just in time for Mother’s Day. Yusuf - Roadsinger Live in Australia is available for $9.95 plus $3 postage.

When Yusuf last toured Australia, 36 years ago, it was as the enigmatic Cat Stevens, a powerful and evocative singer-songwriter who brought the world Moonshadow, Peace Train, Wild World, Morning Has Broken and other classic folk-pop hits.

Born Steven Georgiou in London in 1947, he was discovered by former The Springfields member, now record producer Mike Hurst who arranged for Yusuf (Cat) to attend a recording session where the student recorded his song I Love My Dog. Tony Hall of Decca Records signed him to the new Deram Label under the name Cat Stevens.

In November 1966 I Love My Dog hit no.28 on the UK charts.

In February 1967, the highly commercial orchestrally arranged Matthew and Son hits the UK no.2 spot behind the Monkees I’m a Believer. holm with co-writer, guitarist and producer Bjorn Yttling, the album features cameos from Neil Young and tennis legend John McEnroe. The album, featuring 11 tracks, includes the first single Dark Sunglasses, which will be released on 24 April.

Dark Sunglasses was premiered on Radio 2 in the UK and is now receiving its first plays worldwide.

Summing up her aims with the album, Hynde said: “I wanted to make a power pop album you could dance to – Abba meets John Lennon”. www.thepretenders.com *** The Rolling Stones may have postponed their Australian tour but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on seeing their songs live.

Like the saying goes, better late than never, especially when it comes to celebrating milestones. In a belated commemoration of the 45th anniversary of The Rolling Stones’ 1968 classic album Beggars Banquet, a one-off allstar local band are coming together to perform the record, track-by-track at

By Gary Turner

Jamaican singer Jimmy Cliff recorded a cover of the Stevens song Wild World and gifted him a UK Top 10 hit.

In 1971, Wild World became Cat Stevens’ US debut reaching no.11, while the album Tea For the Tillerman hit reached no.8 and remained on the album charts for 79 weeks.

His next album Teaser and the Firecat remained in the UK charts for 93 weeks and the US charts for 67 weeks.

A flood of US hits followed, including Peace Train (no.7) and Morning Has Broken (no.6).

In 2010 he had lost none of his charm and powerful vocals.

A Grain of Salt CANBERRA, also known as Lollipop Land, is where racial discrimination changes and the people it affects are forgotten, and the ratbag name callers couldn’t give a monkey’s uncle.

Sir Johnny Howard suggests he does not want the changes? Tony and the IPA rule the roost. We get what we vote for and then some, both sides. Let us hope Pinochet is not one of Tony’s mentors.

Fun and games. Billy Boy Shorten’s a bit stiff, or without courage? He can’t come out criticising Dame Quentin Bryce for accepting a royal title, on the basis that family is family. On the other hand, why not? Above reproach Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s decision to approve the twin service stations in a green wedge zone surprises no-one.

Some things are inevitable. More to come?

Words from Seneca, or was it Solomon, for two of my beloved friends, Joe Hockey and Sir Nathan Buckley: “Many men had been without question wise, had they not had an opinion that they had attained to perfection of knowledge already, before they had even gone half way”.

Frankston Times 14 April 2014

Testing over 70 drivers? I drove to the airport and returned during non-peak; 90 minutes both ways. I probably broke the speed limit 10 times by 1-4 kilometres per hour due to various factors and was passed some 200 times by trucks and cars, most speeding, some ratbags, and some male and female P-platers of all ages. The television news used an accident by an 82-year-old female in Queensland to highlight the case, ignoring the other thousand accidents on that day. A nonsense.

Maybe it’s me? Over the years friends and acquaintances have enthused about an intended few days camping trip on or near the banks of the Murray River.

Men only. Have a few drinks, a spot of fishing. Wacko-the-Diddle-oh! When they returned they always had a ball; no matter the rain or the fish not biting. “So what did you do?” I would ask. “Sat around, talked, had a few beers, a few laughs, got the barbie fired up.” Secret men’s business?

The possible connection of Liberal assistant treasurer Arthur Sinodinos with Labor crook Eddie Obeid on page 5 of the Herald Sun? Arthur’s connec-

tion with Eddie (or otherwise) is of no consequence to me, but one has to admire the outrage from his followers.

Arthur’s mate (Joe Hockey) paid back the $33,000 donated by the Obeidlinked Australian Water Holdings. I expected no less from Joe and his Liberal mates, or, as I like to call them “the good guys”. I suspect Labor has nothing against Arthur. Maybe like those chaps on the Murray River fishing.

Cutting out red tape is all very well, but changing consumer protection laws putting people into the tentacles of some untrustworthy financial advisers stinks. Neutral advice is in danger of being replaced by vested interest; lambs to the slaughter.

If consensual sex results in pregnancy I figure they should take the consequences, including child maintenance by the father. However, abortion as a result of rape or incest is surely a right.

Like most, I’ve come across people and friends who chose out of convenience. I disagree mostly, but it’s their decision; end of story. It’s the politicians speaking out from a platform of pseudorighteousness who become a pain in my

backside.

What happened to the old adage “if you’ve got nothing to hide you’ve got nothing to fear”? Our state government launches an investigation into the sources of media leaks about hiring and spending practices at our glorious Office of Living Victoria water goldmine, already the subject of a Victorian Ombudsman inquiry into the use of taxpayer funds to hire alleged mates without public tender processes. Waxing the goodies?

Harley Properties in partnership with Common Equity Housing and our state government is providing some 45 units at affordable rates for over 55s in Wangaratta seeking public housing for the first time. Now that is a great idea. On the other hand, spending on social housing in the last financial year fell by $247 million; a waiting list of 34,000 people in need.

What are they doing? Mount Eliza renamed Frankston South West? A tragedy...My pension increase of $15.70 a fortnight was almost the cost of a packet of 20 cigarettes; happy days...

Arise, sir knights of the new republic

By Stuart McCullough FINALLY! Knighthoods are back and I, for one, am beside myself with excitement. I almost have to pinch myself – an act that being beside myself makes a whole lot simpler. Clearly, someone has been getting my letters, emails and scrolls sent by carrier pigeon. For too long, this country has been without the crowning glories that are ‘Sir’ or ‘Dame’; ever since Prime Minister Bob Hawke abolished the honours in 1986 in favour of the title, ‘Maaaate’. It’s time to set the record straight. Or, to put it more accurately: it’s time to set the record straight.

There are lots of reasons to celebrate the return of knighthoods, not least of which is the reintroduction of jousting as a mainstream sport. For too long, kids have had to waste their Saturday mornings playing football, netball and cricket when, instead, they should be strapping on their armour and taking the family horse out for a vigorous bout of jousting.

It’s been yonks since I’ve taken the jousting sticks out. And with armour being the must-have fashion item in 2014, the term ‘throwing down the gauntlet’ will no longer be a mere turn of phrase as ordinary citizens peel off their metal gloves and cast them groundward, before challenging someone to a duel. This nation has long been iron deficient and only a return to full body armour can fix it.

As a child, I longed to be knighted.

If chances didn’t look good, I was going to change my name from ‘Stuart’ to ‘Sir Stuart’. This would work vastly improve my chances of getting

an upgrade when next I fly. But such a bold move carries with it the risk that I might actually receive one of these honours on merit (if not by clerical error) and be stuck with ‘Sir Sir Stuart’. Granted, Boutros Boutros-Ghali got away with it but, as pop group Duran Duran proved, having a built-

in stutter for a name makes you look like an idiot. But just like ‘Major Major’ in Joseph Heller’s masterpiece Catch-22, I’ll get over it.

It also means that the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific can now be performed in full and exactly as the authors intended. For

too long, the musical centrepiece of the show has been mutilated to reflect prevailing cultural standards. I look forward to hearing There Is Nothing Like A Dame in all its full-throated glory. No one could dispute that it’s far more catchy and enjoyable than the politically correct version: There Is Nothing Like an Order of Australia Bestowed for Services to the Community. If nothing else, it ruins the rhythm of the thing entirely.

The song Knights In White Satin by The Moody Blues will finally mean something, to say nothing of Cole Porter’s Knight and Day. Turns of phrase that are an indelible part of our cultural make up – like ‘white knight’, ‘knight in shining armour’ and, most crucially of all, Knight Rider – can be restored as freely used as part of the national lexicon. It will boost the fortunes of the chain maille industry almost overnight. Forget Parliament House – our nation’s leaders will congregate at a venue more fitting: Kryal Castle.

I realise that not everyone feels the way I do. Some have cruelly labelled it a ‘retrograde’ step without pausing to think of the benefits. It’s clear that these honours will only be given out to the truly exceptional and not, as was the case in Queensland throughout the seventies, given away free with boxes of Cocoa Pops. This is, of course, a two-edged sword, much like the one Her Majesty will use to confer the honour itself. I quite like the idea that anyone has a shot of qualifying. Just as our Olympic team should be selected through a barrel draw, so too should knighthoods.

Some people think it cruels any chance of ever becoming a republic but those people are flat-out wrong.

My favourite knight isn’t Australian or even British – he’s American. Kennedys and Kardashians aside, they don’t even have a royal family. Sir Mix-A-Lot was, presumably, knighted for his services to rap music and, possibly, body image. Granted, not everyone appreciates the sentiments expressed in his song, Baby’s Got Back, but I tend to defer to medical experts, like Dr Dre, on such things.

Given his status as a knight of the realm, it is only appropriate that any ceremony to confer a knighthood be supplied with a soundtrack from MixA-Lot. It’s ironic, of course (and I’m not just talking about the armour). Those people who want to avoid the return to knighthoods as part of our honour system now have the perfect excuse to isolate themselves by building a moat. Normally, I’d write these articles at my desk, seated behind a computer. Not today. To mark the return to sanity that is the reintroduction of knighthoods, I am writing this whilst sitting astride my mighty stead, who I have named ‘Sir Hoofalot’ and am using the finest quill in my collection. Having attached this epistle to the nearest pigeon, I shall await news from the Kingdom.

It’s late now, and I should probably get off my horse and get some sleep. So let me say to republican and monarchist, peer and commoner, nobleman and serf alike: good knight to you all. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Stonecats still the yardstick PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW proved that it is still the team to match in the Peninsula League competition on Saturday after dominating Mt Eliza at Wooralla Drive.

Despite a slow start against the breeze, the Stonecats booted 10.8 to 4.5 after quarter time to run out comfortable 30-point winners.

The Redlegs got within 21 points early in the last quarter when Damien Russo booted a goal, but the visitors steadied through the likes of Tony Lester and Craig Nankervis to enjoy a comfortable win.

Anthony ‘Bundy’ Barry was again superb for the Stonecats. He will be missed on the rare occasion that he gets called up to play VFL footy.

There’s still plenty of speculation surrounding Ash Eames and his future at the Stonecats. The talk is that he is waiting for a promotion in the police force, which is likely to take him back to the country. At this stage though he’s playing and still having an influence.

Josh Chapman, Michael Chaplin and Ricky Morris all booted two goals each for the Stonecats.

Sam Wettenhall was the most productive forward for the Redlegs with three goals while Jack Cole and Karl Lombardozzi were outstanding.

Former Melbourne-listed player John Meesan edged out Eames in the ruck, while Rohan Heasley was at his best.

Redlegs coach John Georgiou said he expected his team to take time to get up and going.

“Our list has changed a fair bit over summer. We have some great kids coming up through the juniors, we have been able to get players back to the club like Dunne, Heasley and Booth plus Lombardozzi is like a new recruit. We also picked up guys like Meesan and Whelan,” Georgiou said.

“YCW was a great test to see where we are at. It was great to get them early,” he said.

Langwarrin maintained its position on top of the Peninsula League table after a 32-point win against Pines.

Just 13 points separated the sides at half time and three quarter time before the Kangas booted five goals to two in the last to record a 10.15 (75) to 6.7 (43) win.

Jarryd Amalfi was outstanding for the winners from half back while teenager Blake Harkness was again dominant on the wing and through the middle of the ground. He lacks nothing in the ticker department.

Andrew Withers was cool in a crisis and Steve O’Brien’s penetrating left foot was one of the few exciting things to watch during a scrappy match.

Guy Hendry was brilliant for Pines and probably the best player on the ground, while Jamie Messina stayed calm despite enormous attention from the Kangas.

Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico was uninspired with the win.

“It was a pretty ordinary game of football, very scrappy,” Artico said.

“I was happy that we were able to grind our way through it but it’s certainly not the style that we want to be playing.

“We’ve got to find ways quickly of breaking the shackles if teams want to play highly contested footy.

“I know Nepean League is a lot more free-flowing and not as contested, however, I think there’s a place for both in Peninsula League,” he said.

Chelsea held off a fast finishing Seaford to win a thriller, 11.7 (73) to 10.8 (68).

Playing at Chelsea Reserve, the Seagulls led by 31 points at quarter time, 29 points at the main interval and by 31 points at the final change.

However, the Tigers booted 4.3 to just one behind in the final quarter to win by five points.

Chelsea recruits Matt Smith and Matty Baxter were outstanding for their team while former St Kilda listed player Jayden Attard was also a catalyst in the win.

Matt and Todd Gardiner were also two of the best players on the ground.

Tyson Horton, after a few years in the footy wilderness, booted three for the Tigers while James Quanchi played one of his best games for the club.

Teenager Trae Tohiariki, along with Johnathan Haidon, were among the best players for the Tigers for the second week in succession.

Mornington had to pull out all stops to get over the line against Karingal.

Karingal led the Doggies at quarter time and trailed by just six points at half time.

However, in the second half, the visitors were able to boot six goals to two to win 12.18 (90) to 8.3 (51).

It was an insipid game of football and the Doggies have a lot of work to do if they are going to challenge the top teams in the competition.

However, a highlight of the match was the work rate and class of recruit Danny Nolan through the middle of the ground, while Michael Gay is a man mountain in the ruck and will trouble the best this season.

Emilio Bitters and Aiden Speedy provided all Mornington’s run, while Warwick Miller did some good things.

There is a big whisper doing the rounds that Mornington is struggling with the points system and having to juggle players from week to week.

Karingal was much more competitive this week.

Coach Stephen Coates said it was going to take time to get the team to gel.

“The reality is that almost our entire senior 22 has changed and with this comes patience,” Coates said.

“The first thing is to become competitive and then we worry about winning games of football.

“What we have now are blokes who want to play for the Karingal Football Club. Those who don’t want to be here are no longer here.”

“We’ll continue to improve and that is all I can ask,” he said.

Michael Burke and Luke VanRaay led the way for the Bulls while Tom Wilkinson was good around the footy and Ray Lengyel had a real crack in the ruck.

Of the Noble Park connection, Coates said the recruits were all looking for more game time.

“We wanted young blokes first and foremost who wanted to be given an opportunity to play more regular senior footy. The large majority of them were in and out of the seniors at Noble.

“George Angelopolous was the most experienced of the group we got and has been excellent in the first two rounds, while Sanith Jayasinghe has been doing a job for us down back.”

Defeat adds to hoodoo blues

By Paulo Kennedy THE Princes Park hoodoo continued for the Frankston Dolphins with a gut-wrenching, after-the-siren defeat to the Blues on Saturday.

Facing a Blues team packed with Carlton talent including Brock McLean, Jeff Garlett, Jarrad Waite and Cameron Wood, the Dolphins fought grimly just to stay in the game in the first half.

Two crucial goals from Zig Alwan allowed Frankston to be within 19 points at the long break, but when the Blues booted the first two majors of the third stanza a blowout was on the cards.

Reminiscent of their last win at Visy Park - over Collingwood in 2008 - the Dolphins charged back from 32 points down with an inspired display, star on-ballers Leigh Kitchin and Shane Hockey taking over around the packs.

Forwards Khan Haretuku and Jarrad Matheson also put the team on their backs as they kicked three-apiece in a surge that left Carlton’s VFL team searching for answers.

The Dolphins kicked five of the last seven games of the third term, and then kept on coming in the final quarter.

When Mike Lourey brilliantly converted a deliberate outof-bounds free kick the Dolphins led by three points with 26 minutes gone in the final term and a boilover loomed.

But devastatingly, the Blues’ Luke Reynolds slotted through the match-winning goal after the final siren after a free kick to cruel the outstanding Frankston challenge.

The Dolphins return home on Sunday 20 April to face the Casey Scorpions at 2pm.

Hillmen catch Sorrento early NEPEAN LEAGUE

team’s performance, Red Hill coach Tony Blackford said “there was nothing to get over excited about.”

“There’s no doubt that we got Sorrento at the right time,” Blackford said.

“We played last week and had some match conditioning under our belts and it was Sorrento’s first game.

“A couple of their players didn’t play a single practice match and of course, there’s no Scotty Cameron or Guy Stringer, who make an enormous difference to their side.”

In saying that, Blackford didn’t want to take any credit away from his own team either.

“We have a great bunch of players who want to improve and test themselves. There’s no bigger test than against the best team in the past 10 years.

“We were challenged and we responded, which was great,” Blackford said.

“We all know though that this is a very tight competition and it’s about being able to sustain it over the full season.

“I couldn’t be happier with where we are at right now though. Beating Somerville at Somerville and Sorrento is a great start,” he said.

Rosebud didn’t take very long to get

By Toe Punt RED HILL proved it is well and truly in the mix for a place in the top bracket after beating Sorrento on Saturday.

The Hillmen were super impressive against Somerville in their round one match and backed up the performance against last year’s Nepean league runners-up on the weekend.

The home side opened up a handy 27-point break in the second quarter before Sorrento made the most of the wind advantage in the third and booted four unanswered goals.

Despite the surge, at no stage during the match was Sorrento in front.

The Hillmen steadied in the final quarter and ran-out 12.9 (81) to 9.10 (64).

It was the first time in more than a decade that Red Hill had beaten Sorrento.

Jarryd Douglas backed up his six goals in the first match with another five against Sorrento, while Peter Dal Lago and Luke Adams dominated.

YCW recruit Blake McCormack has made a real impression in his first two matches and Nick Batemen, fresh from Frankston Dolphins, stamped his authority on the contest.

Crib Point made it two solid wins in as many weeks, smashing Somerville by 58 points, 15.21 (111) to 7.11 (53).

The Eagles can be thankful that the Pies kicked inaccurately, including booting 5.8 in the second quarter and 2.7 in the last.

Jake Bromley was outstanding for the Pies yet again while James Cook and Luke Herrington (three goals) influenced the outcome.

In even better news for the Pies, former Eagle Glenn Boyd and Hastings small forward Tim Churchin should both be available after ANZAC day.

As for the Eagles, Justin Farrelly and Rohan Hogenbirk can’t return quick enough.

In the final game of the round, Devon Meadows overwhelmed Tyabb as expected, winning 25.17 (167) to 11.10 (76).

The Panthers booted 13 goals in the first half and 12 in the second, its most consistent performance since coming back into Nepean League.

James Bow booted 12 goals in the win, adding to his four in round one.

Clint Setford was at his best, while Gavin Kerr and Billy Hayes were also on top of their game.

Callum Morris and Ethan Rahilly were the best of the Yabbies.

Both teams traded goals in the last quarter before the Bombers booted the last of the day to hold on and win.

Duncan Proud was again outstanding for the Bombers while Mitch Bosward, who returned to his home club from Frankston Dolphins, was inspirational.

Chris Fortnam was outstanding for the Panthers while Troy Jacobson, a former Stingray who played juniors with Langwarrin and Somerville, was also very good. Ruckman Ben Mitchell finished with three goals.

Dromana suffered no premiership hangover, despite reports of an ordinary pre-season.

The Tigers booted six goals to one with the wind in the opening quarter against RYE and were never threatened thereafter.

Stuart Cleeve dominated in the ruck, Aaron Coyle enjoyed plenty of time on the ground and youngsters Jack Fowler and Aiden Musgrave took advantage of their opportunities.

Then there were the stars Christian Ongarello and Terry Wheeler (three goals) who dominated.

It was an impressive first up win for the Tigers, 13.14 (92) to 9.8 (62).

Aaron Kirkwood and Ben Holmes were Rye’s best, while Andrew Dunn and Sam Smith were good through the middle of the ground.

going, despite not playing last week.

Against Hastings on Saturday, the Buds started with six opening quarter goals and were never threatened from that point on, winning 13.6 (84) to 8.14 (62).

The Blues had their chances in the third quarter but inaccuracy in from of goals (2.2 to 3.6) hurt them.

Greg Bentley was again at the top of his game for the Buds with three goals while Brenton Payne, Rhys Bancroft and Sorrento recruit Daniel Hickey dominated through the middle of the ground.

Daniel Wishart was again at his best for the Blues while Colin McVeigh and Brendan Dunne shone. Justin Berry booted two goals and was amongst his team’s best.

It was a good wake-up call for the Blues.

Frankston Bombers hung on for a great victory over Pearcedale, winning 13.15 (93) to 12.15 (87).

The Panthers led by 23 points at half time, however, the Bombers booted 7.5 to 2.0 in the third quarter with the wind to open up a two goal lead.

Jay Reynolds, fresh from being in the final 22 for Foxtel reality show The Rookie, was best on ground with three goals. He didn’t make the final cut of 12 on Friday night’s show.
