PARC opens with a splash Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au PRIME Minister Tony Abbott didn’t turn up to officially open the Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre last Friday as planned but the launch was far from a damp squib.

Many of the guests invited to the official opening may have been

disappointed that the Prime Minister could not make it to Frankston but his absence did not dampen the enthusiasm of Kingsley Park Primary School children who enjoyed PARC’s water fountains and rides.

Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson, the federal minister for small business, had the honour declaring PARC officially open as a last-minute replacement for the

Prime Minister who had to drop out of the opening ceremony.

Mr Billson advised attendees that Mr Abbott had been forced to deal with “a matter of national security”.

The “matter” became apparent shortly after the official PARC opening ceremony finished, when the Prime Minister called a press conference in Melbourne to advise Australians that

Mr Billson was generous in his acknowledgement of the previous Labor state government’s backing for the project, thanking former Frankston MP Alistair Harkness for “sharing the vision” to make PARC a reality.

News Limited Proof ?

NEWS DESK

Rescue services alarm raised Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au MARINE rescue services across Port Phillip Bay could be set for an overhaul as a result of a report tabled in State Parliament this month.

The Inquiry into Marine Rescue Services in Victoria report found oversight of voluntary water rescue crews is “ad hoc”, under-funded and potentially not “fit for purpose”.

A committee of cross-party MPs chaired by Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess produced the 246page report. The report took eight months to complete. Frankston MP Geoff Shaw was originally a member of the committee but stepped down in March.

While the report stated marine services and rescue (MSAR) is “essentially ungoverned”, volunteers were praised for their “dedication and commitment” despite a lack of oversight and funding.

The committee found Victoria’s volunteer marine search and rescue is not subject to legislative or regulatory oversight at state level and “has been largely ignored and left to fend for itself”.

Alarmingly, the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Association noted in its submission to the inquiry that: “in the absence of accreditation, ‘anybody’ can commence operating as a marine rescue organisation anywhere in Victoria, irrespective of their capability… without being subject to minimum standards for the provision of marine rescue services”.

Victoria Police often act as the

On patrol: Frankston Coast Guard’s primary response vessel. Picture: Gary Sissons

‘control agency’ during rescues and incidents at sea but also expressed concern about the capability and experience of volunteers entrusted to help those in distress.

Inspector Mark Arneil, manager of the Water Police and Search and Rescue Squads based at Williamstown, told the committee that police do not have “total clarity” about volunteer resources due to a lack of an accreditation process.

“One of the areas of concern for me at the moment is that, whilst my people coordinate all these agencies to go out and do the rescues, we have no real level of comfort around what their capability is, so we do not really know and we only task them on previous experience, knowing that they can do the job,” Inspector Arneil said.

“We do not have any sort of process in place to accredit them or audit them

to be able to say their vessels are capable of doing whatever it is and that they have got sufficient training, sufficient equipment and knowledge to be able to do the rescues.”

Water Police maintain a register of volunteer MSAR resources, but this is updated “periodically… and in accordance with information received” from volunteer coast guard groups.

Inspector Arneil said Victoria Police could not comment whether any volunteer MSAR organisation is “fit for purpose”.

Some submissions to the inquiry noted: “Water Police do not always task the nearest available MSAR resources and that this can increase the risks for persons involved in a marine incident”.

The committee made 43 recommendations as a result of its

Police locate tools

investigations and chief amongst the proposals was the need to establish a new governing body to manage Victoria’s MSAR volunteers, similar to the management setup at the CFA and SES. An annual audit of MSAR capabilities would be conducted each year by the governing body.

Transport Safety Victoria backed the introduction of an accreditation and audit process, as did many voluntary coast guard organisations.

An example of the underfunding of marine rescue services is apparent in Frankston with the Coast Guard premises at Pier Promenade, built in 1985, in such a state of disrepair the main rescue boat has to be launched at Carrum.

Frankston Council hopes to secure state funding to help build a new regional boating facility at Olivers Hill.

There is a danger the committee’s report could languish in bureaucratic limbo thanks to the timing of November’s state election.

A previous state-wide review of the volunteer MSAR sector carried out by Ernst & Young 12 years ago, when the Bracks Labor government was in office, also recommended the establishment of a governing body.

The committee stated: “Surprisingly, none of the reforms have been implemented. This situation is particularly concerning in view of the fact that the model proposed in the Ernst and Young report was aimed at minimising the possibility of an injury or a death occurring during an MSAR incident.”

POLICE are attempting to identify the owners of more than 100 assorted tools believed to have been stolen from houses, sheds and vehicles across the peninsula.

The tools were recovered from a Hastings residence following a police search last Wednesday.

A 24-year-old Hastings man who resided at the address was arrested and charged with multiple counts of burglary, theft and handling stolen goods. Police are now faced with the daunting task of trying to locate the owners of the stolen items, which include numerous power tools.

Anyone having lost tools or work equipment over the past few months can contact Hastings crime investigation unit of 5970 7800.

Open properties GATES will be opened this weekend to allow public access to historic Langwarrin properties Mulberry Hill and Cruden Farm.

League moves to keep youngsters in the game Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au RAISING the top age division in junior football leagues to under-17 and moving the senior thirds from under-18s to under-19s are two major recommendations of a review into how best to keep younger players in the game.

The review – involving junior and senior leagues - was announced in April by AFL South East to stop the decrease in the number of junior players progressing to the seniors.

Recommendations adopted last week apply to the Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League, Frankston District Junior Football League, Nepean Football Netball League and Peninsula Football Netball League.

Other recommendations include a joint under-16 and under-17 graded competition between the MPJFL and the FDJFL; a simplified permit system to make it easier for players to move between junior and senior leagues in a season; developing stronger junior and senior club and league relationships; simplifying age cut-offs and providing clarity around the provision of over-age permits.

Clubs on the peninsula and in Frankston have voiced concerns about their inability to retain players aged 16-20.

“The structural changes recommended are aimed at providing a diverse range of offerings for the participant, while maintaining strong and dynamic player pathways,” the review found.

“However, the recommendations and the expected outcomes by no means solve the issue of player retention, progression and relative club strength on their own.

“Structural variations are only one piece in an extensive puzzle that requires constant attention, input and review by all stakeholders.”

AFL South East Region general manager Jeremy Bourke said it had been “terrific” to have five governing bodies working together on the review.

“However, there is no doubt there will be differing opinions regarding the recommendations within the football community,” he said.

“Some will say that they have not gone far or deep enough and others will say that they are not in the best interests of their particular club or league.”

Mr Bourke said AFL South East “firmly believed” that the decisions made [in the review] were in the best interests of football in the region.

“Too often, decisions in football have been made in the best interests of one party at the expense of another and without consultation or due diligence,” he said.

“Throughout the process, the working party has ensured all parties were consulted and had the opportunity to contribute.”

Both the Casey Cardinia Football Netball League and the South East Juniors have started under-17 competitions, but plans for two new competitions – under-17 in FDJ FL and Colts in the MPJFNL – have been vetoed by AFL Victoria Country and the PCN Sports Alliance.

Mr Bourke said in April that he hoped the Frankston under-17 and Colts competitions could begin next year.

Recommendations regarding the South East Juniors and Casey Cardinia FNL competitions will be released next week at the end of the response period.

The review and its recommendations are on the AFL South East website: aflsoutheast.com.au

Old friends hope for an encore IT’S Not Unusual for the Australian Welsh Male Choir to score goals on the entertainment scene. And now, with singer Tom Jones about to perform on the Green Green Grass of the MCG at the AFL grand final, its members are hoping to meet up with him again.

The choir is pictured backstage with the Welsh crooner at the old Glass House Theatre at Olympic Park in 1985. Choir president Tony Dickinson is presenting him with honorary membership of the choir.

“I had spoken to Jones - who was in the US – while on-air at radio station 3AW in the lead-up to the tour,” he recalled last week. “They asked me to come into their Lonsdale St studios and call him and speak to him in Welsh.”

Before he could say “What’s New Pussycat?” the choir was named as his support act.

Now, with Jones to be in Melbourne later this month, they are hoping for a reunion. “We put on his Facebook page that we would like to catch up with him when he’s here,” Dickson said. “We are yet to hear back, though.”

The choir was started in 1973 by British expats living mainly in the Pines estate, Frankston, and working at the former Lysaght steel mill at Hastings. Gathering at the Pines Soccer Club for a few beers on Friday nights they would do what comes naturally to Welshmen – sing – and the idea of a choir became reality.

Early highlights included singing carols at The Salvos Christmas concerts and then a milestone, singing at the rededication of the Victorian Police Academy chapel in October 1974, which Dickinson believes was the first outside colour TV broadcast by the ABC. Stephen Taylor

Rental squeeze pushes more families into stress Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON is facing an affordable housing crisis, with inadequate stocks of public housing and rapidly rising rents pushing more lowincome families into homelessness, a parliamentary inquiry was told last week.

And the situation is about to get a lot worse for thousands of people facing significant cuts to their incomes due to welfare cuts and changes to Centrelink qualification requirements.

In a submission presented to a Senate inquiry into affordable housing last week, the Tenants Union of Victoria revealed the vast majority of rental properties in Frankston were now out of reach of low income families.

The union said that, with waiting times for public housing now close to 10 years, most low income individual and families had no option but to turn to the private rental market for accommodation.

However, families and individuals had to spend up 78 per cent of their disposable income to pay for privately rented accommodation.

The union, which was among 12 public policy groups to present submissions in Melbourne on Tuesday to the federal Senate inquiry, revealed that while rental prices in Frankston had been relatively stable this year, they remained unaffordable for seven out of eight household types profiled, with students and singles the worst affected.

Tenants Union policy officer James Bennett said individuals and families receiving welfare benefits lucky enough to find private rental accommodation were likely to be experiencing "housing stress", which is defined as having to spend more than 30 per cent or disposable income on rent or mortgage payments. The mean weekly rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Frankston is now $210. That would consume 78 per cent

of the disposable income of a single person on Austudy ($269.20 a week), leaving just $59.20 a week to cover food, utility bills and transport, not to mention rapidly rising study costs.

A single person on Newstart ($312.50) would be slightly better off, with rent eating up 67.2 per cent of their income, leaving $102.50 each week to cover living expenses.

An older person receiving the aged pension ($468.70) would be left with more than half their disposable income or $258.70 a week to cover weekly expenses, but they would be still be living well below the poverty line.

A single parent with one child would have to spend 47.1 per cent of their pension to cover the cost of a two bedroom apartment in Frankston ($265 a week). With an income of $562.84 a week, they would be left with just under a $300 a week to survive.

While low-income families able to secure a three-bedroom house on the private market would fare better than singles, most would still be living with housing stress.

A couple on Newstart with two children receiving $723 a week would need to spend 44.3 per cent of their income to rent the average threebedroom property in Frankston at $320 a week.

If the same parents were both working in minimum wage jobs, they’d need to allocate 35.9 per cent of their net weekly earnings of $892.25 to cover the rent on a three bedroom Frankston home – still well above the threshold for housing stress.

And that’s assuming these individuals and families are able to find accommodation, a situation far from certain with rental vacancy rates near historic lows of less than 2 per cent.

With landlords tending to favour people on higher incomes, the situation for those on welfare benefits or low income was one of “extremely vulnerability”, welfare advocates warn.

Making a stand: Prime Minister Tony Abbott could have faced a firey reception if he had turned up at the opening of Frankston’s PARC on Friday. Picture: Yanni

PM no-show no problem for PARC Continued from Page 1 Mr Billson said Frankston Council, state and federal governments had “worked hard to see the project completed”.

Cr Taylor said PARC had been delivered “on time and on budget”.

The PARC contains an Olympicsized swimming pool, learn to swim pools, waterslides, an aquatic playground, creche, gym, exercise rooms, a health and wellbeing centre and cafe.

“It is a lot more than just a swimming pool and will service our city and surrounds for many years to come,” Cr Taylor said.

He said more than 6000 people had visited the PARC since it opened to

the public the previous week, more than 2800 had registered for gym memberships and 800 children were booked in for learn to swim classes.

Before the formalities began, protesters had gathered outside the PARC hoping to make their views on TAFE funding cuts and firefighters’ pay claims known to Mr Abbott upon his arrival.

They were as disappointed at the Prime Minister’s no-show as the 150 or so guests invited inside for the opening ceremony. Perhaps more so.

Rumours circulated linking Mr Abbott’s drop out from the PARC opening to the presence of Geoff Shaw, lest they be photographed together, but it

is highly unlikely the Prime Minister would raise Australia’s terror alert level simply to avoid meeting the former Liberal, now independent Frankston MP. In any event, the schoolchildren who enjoyed playing on the PARC’s water slides after the politicians had their say showed what the day was all about.

The sound of their laughter and excitement among the splashing of water fountains and features echoed throughout the centre as guests dispersed.

The $49.7m PARC will provide enjoyment for those children and future generations for many years to come.

FRANKSTON councillors have slammed a VicRoads plan for a $1 billion upgrade to the Western Port Highway, labelling the road authority’s decision to omit a full interchange at Ballarto Rd as a “grave risk to the health and safety of the community”.

In two separate resolutions passed at the most recent council meeting, councillors voted to seek support from residents and businesses affected by the VicRoads’ decision to further challenge the plan, and to confront Casey Council over its support for the proposal.

Frankston councillors also expressed concern residents had not been fully informed of the VicRoads plan, which they said would create “increased local traffic congestion and road maintenance requirements as well as more difficult access to the city centre”.

VicRoads preferred option includes upgrading Western Port Highway to a four-lane freeway with a full interchanges at Thompsons, Hall and Frankston-Cranbourne roads, a north-facing half interchange at Wedge Rd and overpass at Ballarto Rd that provides no access to the freeway.

Frankston mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor, said that while the council supported the overall project to upgrade the Western Port Highway to freeway standard, the plan as it stood would have a “significant” negative impact on the city.

He said VicRoads’ own modelling showed that about 7000 vehicles a day would use an interchange at Ballarto Rd, including 700 heavy vehicles.

“If no interchange is provided, then these vehicles will be forced to travel on roads such as McCormicks Rd, McClelland Drive and Potts Rd to access Western Port Freeway at other points,” Cr Taylor said.

“This will significantly increase traffic congestion along these roads and decrease the amenity

of these local streets as well as increasing Council’s costs in terms of maintaining these roads.

“But most importantly, the increased risk to our children travelling to and from school along these roads is horrifying.”

A full interchange at Ballarto Rd was essential as the roadway provided direct access to areas of “economic significance and major employment” within the City of Frankston, Cr Taylor said.

Despite the council having worked closely with VicRoads since April 2010 when a planning study to identify a preferred option for upgrading the highway began, the roads authority had ignored Frankston’s clear wishes, he said.

“We have attempted to reach a position acceptable to council in relation to future access to Western Port Highway from Wedge and Ballarto roads, but to date, have had no success.”

As a result of the study, Cr Taylor said VicRoads had arrived at its preferred option and was about to begin preparing a planning scheme amendment to reserve the land required for the project.

“We want our community to be informed about this ill-conceived plan so they can voice their concerns to their local members and the Transport Minister before it’s too late, “Cr Taylor said.

The state Labor Party has backed Frankston Council’s call for a full interchange at the Ballarto Rd and said it would review Vicroads’ decision should it win the upcoming election.

ALP spokesman for roads Luke Donnellan, who recently visited the contested intersection, said a full interchange was essential to avoid chaos on Frankston roads.

He said the government and VicRoads needed to listen to the council and community on the matter and rethink the decision, and revealed he had written to Roads Minister Terry Mulder to request the plan be reviewed.

Councillors chip in for statue A STATUE to honour boxing champ Johnny Famechon has edged closer to reality thanks to $9000 donated by Frankston councillors.

At this month’s council meeting, councillors agreed to give $1000 each from their discretionary ward funds towards the fundraising effort to build a life-sized bronze statue of the former boxer who has lived in Frankston since 1970.

Fammo, a WBC Featherweight World Champion, defended his title twice in two “brutal” fights against Japan’s Fighting Harada in 1969 after first beating Cuba’s Jose Legra to win the title.

The Australian National Boxing Hall of Fame is heading efforts to raise $180,000 to build the statue of Fammo in Ballam Park.

Frankston Mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor, said the Johnny Famechon statue project is “a great campaign”.

“It’s a great campaign. He is a real boxing champion,” Cr Taylor said.

He said Fammo had “an incredible left hand” during his boxing career, during which he notched up 56 wins (20 by KO), 6 draws and suffered 5 losses.

“A statue would be a great way to honour him,” Cr Taylor said.

Statue committee member Gary Luscombe told The Times last month more than $80,000 so far towards the $180,000 needed to install the statue.

Naming rights to 67 plaques, one for each of Fammo’s career bouts, are available to buy for $1000 each. The plaques will be set into the base of the statue.

See www.australianboxingmemorabilia.com/ plaques or call Gary Luscombe on 0433 712 323 for further information on plaque sponsorship.

Councils complaints ‘constant’ COUNCILS continue to attract the ire of complainants to the Victorian Ombudsman according to the watchdog’s latest annual report tabled in Parliament last week.

Ombudsman Deborah Glass, appointed in March this year, tabled her office’s 2013-14 report and noted total complaints were up 12.6 per cent on the preceding 12 months. The ombudsman received 34,000 complaints about public bodies across the state.

“This number represents a significant statement of public dissatisfaction,” Ms Glass said.

“But it’s also an opportunity to improve public administration in Victoria.”

Complaints about local government were the second commonest source of discontent, topped only by complaints about the Department of Justice which includes prisons.

“Complaints about local government have remained relatively constant over the last four years”, according to the Ombudsman’s report.

There were 3281 “closed” complaints about

councils, making up 24.9 per cent of total complaints to the Ombudsman.

Complaints about complaint handling (750) by councils were most prevalent, followed by parking (477), rates (344) and planning (302) grievances. The report stated: “Specific issues for Victorians included delays in responding, inadequate remedies and inadequate processes”.

The Ombudsman noted all 79 councils in Victoria received at least one complaint in the past 12 months, but the number varied across municipalities.

Frankston Council sat in the third highest band of complaints category out of six, being the subject of “60-79” complaints to the Ombudsman in 2013-14.

In previous years the Ombudsman has not provided a full breakdown of complaints lodged, merely listing the top and bottom 10 councils who received complaints. Frankston Council was not mentioned in the list last year.

CURTAIN AND BLIND TECHNICIAN • Do you take pride in your handyman work and have a high attention to detail?

Political ties bind councils Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au COUNCIL candidates could be pressured to declare their political affiliations and campaign donations would be capped if reforms proposed by a Local Government Electoral Review Panel are adopted.

The panel, headed by former federal Liberal MP Petro Georgiou, recommended council hopefuls be asked about their political affiliations when standing for election.

Candidates would be asked to reveal “whether they are a member of a registered political party” and “whether they are endorsed by a registered political party to stand in the local government election they wish to contest” under the proposed changes to the Local Government Act. The review of Victoria’s local government electoral system was ordered by the state government.

Mr Georgiou said the panel’s recommendations aimed to “strengthen the integrity with which elections are conducted”.

There were 41 recommendations made in the report released on Monday (8 September).

Currently, council election candidates face little scrutiny about their political links and can claim to be “independent” despite being members of a political party or heavily involved in party campaigns.

The panel proposed candidates be asked several questions about their background, including any political connections, as part of a “voluntary” disclosure process.

However, if a candidate declined to answer a question about their political background it would be marked “no response” on information listed on the Victorian Electoral Commission website.

The panel believed “voters are sufficiently discerning to be trusted with the facts about party membership and to assess its relevance in their decision making as they cast their vote.”

The questionnaire would also help weed out socalled “dummy” candidates - people who register as a candidate solely to pass preferences to “serious” candidates - by posing a series of questions about a

candidates’ work life and community involvement.

Victorian Local Governance Association president Sebastian Klein, a Hepburn Shire councillor, said the panel’s recommendations were “important” because they could influence how councils are chosen and formed.

However, the VLGA is concerned the panel’s recommendations may become “lost” in the aftermath of November’s state election.

“With the state election in November, these recommendations are at risk of being relegated to the bottom of the current Victorian Government’s ‘todo’ list,” Cr Klein said.

“These important recommendations have the potential to greatly affect how our councils are chosen and formed.

“They need to remain a priority; and the sector and communities it serves, cannot afford to have the recommendations lost and forgotten amid election campaigning.”

He also urged any incoming government to pursue reform.

“We want an iron-clad guarantee that post-election the incoming state government will ensure that any accepted recommendations are acted on efficiently, so changes are in place in time for the 2016 local government elections,” Cr Klein said.

Limiting campaign donations to $1000 per candidate from any one person or organisation in the run-up to council elections.

George Brouwer, the Victorian Ombudsman from 2004 until March this year, noted in his public submission to the review: “All donations carry an associated risk; the expectation that something will be provided in return, like influence over a councillor’s activities or decisions.”

An unlimited number of donations can presently be handed over to council candidates with just any amount over $500 in one transaction having to be declared.

Public feedback on the Local Government Electoral Review Panel can be provided until 3 November. See www.dpcd.vic.gov.au or call 1300 736 075 for details.

Fire chiefs warn of ‘extreme’ risks Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au EMERGENCY services authorities are warning Frankston and Mornington Peninsula residents to brace themselves for a prolonged bushfire season of extreme risk due to unusually dry conditions and predictions of higher than average temperatures over the spring and summer months.

Country Fire Authority, Department of Primary Industries and council officers are stepping up efforts to reduce fuel loads across a number of high-risk locations on the peninsula in response to warnings of “significant” risks during an “above normal bushfire season”.

Residents are also being urged to reduce fuel loads and ensure their properties are clear of potential hazards.

Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley said this year’s rainfall deficit and the likely early start to the bushfire season meant areas such as the Frankston and the peninsula needed to be at a heightened level of preparedness.

A seasonal outlook released by the Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre in conjunction with state fire services predicts above average spring temperatures and below average rainfall for Victoria.

In response, Mr Lapsley said authorities were preparing for “an above normal bushfire season”, particularly in areas with grass, bush and higher populations, such as the Frankston and peninsula region.

“The last fire season challenged fire-fighters and community members alike and Victoria’s emergency management sector is already preparing across the state for the next,” Mr Lapsley said.

CFA Chief Officer Euan Ferguson echoed Mr Lapsley’s warnings and said fire authorities were now focusing efforts on reducing risks and urging residents to ensure they were prepared.

Mr Ferguson said the warnings contained in the seasonal outlook were of “significant” concern to the CFA. “It reminds us that August has been a very dry month across much of Victoria and … rainfall predictions suggest it's going to be a drier than normal season,” he said.

CFA operations officer for the Mornington Peninsula Sean Kerr said rainfall this year were about 100mm lower than average, which meant vegetation would dry out “a lot quicker” than normal as temperatures heat up.

“What that means is there is a lot more fuel on the ground; trees drop more foliage, as well as bark and branches, and grass and shrubs dry out,” Mr Kerr said.

“So it’s vital we carry out as much clearing as possible to reduce the fuel load, and it’s important property owners do likewise.

“With the sorts of conditions predicted, preparation is essential.”

He said the Frankston and peninsula region was one of the highest risk areas in the country for bushfires, while the high number of residents

meant risks to life and property were extreme.

“People love the area because they can live close to nature, but that obviously comes with some risk,” Mr Kerr said. “We chose to live like this, but we need to ensure we do everything possible to minimise the risk, and that means ensuring you have an active bushfire plan so that you know exactly what to do if a fire breaks out.”

He said peninsula residents and visitors needed to be particularly aware of traffic issues, with roads highly susceptible to gridlock.

“Our advice is for people to leave at the earliest possible opportunity when fire warnings are issued,” Mr Kerr said.

“People need to be aware of potential traffic gridlock in times of emergency, which means they might not be able to get out if they leave it too late.

“Traffic conditions can be very heavy at the best of times over the summer months with thousands of holiday makers on the roads, so the potential for people getting trapped if they leave things too late is significant.”

Mornington Peninsula fire prevention officer Damien Taylor said the council was in “full swing” preparing for the upcoming fire season, with the annual Fire Inspection Program to begin shortly.

“He said residents needed to ensure their properties were in a “fire ready” state for the duration of the fire season.

“This may include fire prevention works such as slashing grass so it is no higher than 100mm and removing all fallen and dead vegetation around assets, especially cleaning up fine fuels around the home,” he said.

is found in a few isolated places on the peninsula, including Greens Bush. After its accidental introduction to Western Australia in the 1940s it has spread east, invading new areas by producing large number of seeds.

Unlike the dainty native species, the stout fleshy spike of this orchid grows to 35cm with up to 50 tiny brown flowers.

It is regarded as a threat to the biodiversity of parks and any sightings should be reported to the local parks office. Removal is not advised as it can trigger multiple reshooting and encourages spreading.

Many orchids are highly specialised and need certain conditions and soils and relationships with other plants and insects.

Some trick particular species of native bees or wasps into trying to mate with their flower which looks like an insect, by releasing chemicals to attract them.

Orchids are an important part of park ecosystems and should not be picked.

NATIVE orchids are blooming in reserves and gardens throughout Frankston and the Mornington peninsula, including, Greens Bush at main Ridge, Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve and along the trail from Arthurs Seat to Bushrangers Bay. Described as being “subtle but spectacular”, some orchids are small and not brightly coloured and are often missed, even when growing on the edges of walking tracks.

This also means walkers should stay on paths to avoid trampling the fragile plants.

Places to look for orchids: Baldry’s Circuit track in Greens Bush, Mornington Peninsula National Park.

Two Bays Walking track through Arthurs Seat State Park and Greens Bush.

Bushrangers Bay track from the Cape Schanck car park.

Various walking tracks through Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve.

These areas have the largest patches of remnant bushland on the peninsula.

Ducks take a fall for the garden DUCKLINGS are falling out of trees, but that is not their biggest problem.

Young wood ducks are usually hatched high up in a tree hollow and leave the nest in the only way they know how. By jumping.

The real perils wait on the ground, particularly from cats, foxes and motorists when families of ducks attempt to cross busy roads.

“During early spring and particularly after a lot of rain, mother wood duck starts setting up her home in a tree hollow high above the ground where she will lay around 10 eggs,” Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife CEO Susanna Bradshaw said.

Ms Bradshaw said male wood ducks “will stand guard at the base of the nesting tree” while the female incubated the eggs.

“When the ducklings are ready to leave the nest, the only way out is by jumping and plummeting several metres to the ground,” she said.

“But don’t worry if you see fluffy little chicks falling from the sky as this is very normal for wood duck babies and they will just bounce and waddle off as if nothing happened.”

Ms Bradshaw said wood ducks avoided swimming but stayed close to water to eat plants that grow in moist environments.

They would swim away from danger if needed.

“Wood ducks are predominately herbivores, feeding on small grasses and herbs but they will also eat the odd insect—which makes them good buddies to have around your backyard,” she said.

“They aren’t always as well liked as some of our other Aussie animal visitors as they sometimes get in trouble for pooing in backyards, particularly

around swimming pools and nibbling on lawns.”

Ms Bradshaw said wood ducks helped by eating weeds and insects “while fertilising your garden at the same time”.

“Remember that wood ducks like to move around a lot and their disruptions are usually just seasonal, so they won’t be in your garden permanently.”

Uniting world with ultimate travel offer BEING paid to travel sounds like a deal too good be true, especially when the destination on offer is as alluring as exotic Indochina.

But that’s exactly what the Uniting Church is offering Frankston and Mornington Peninsula social, sporting or community groups. Grants of up to $10,000 are available, with the only catch being that the trip must promote the ethos of “responsible travel”.

Uniting Journeys, a community initiative of the Uniting Church, is offering the cash grants to help generate responsible travel ideas involving trips to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.

The grants aim to encourage groups to explore overseas travel that involves cultural exchange, environmental and economic sustainability, and cultural and learning exchanges.

Uniting Journeys “conversation partner” Helen Beeby of Mt Eliza travelled to Cambodia under the scheme in April and is now offering her expertise to help other groups come up with their own responsible travel ideas.

She said the applicants could be any sort of group – photographers, war veterans, builders, circus performers, sporting teams – with the only requirement being that the trip needs to involve connecting with “relevant local people or a project within the country they visit”.

“Of course, there’s also plenty of

time for general sight-seeing and tasting local pleasures,” Ms Beeby said.

“Responsible travel is all about being mindful of what you do, who you meet, where you visit, where you eat or stay and how you spend your money on an inter-cultural trip.

“There are simple things we can do, like making sure the money we spend stays in the local community and ensuring, as best as we can, that the staff in the places we stay or visit are paid properly and treated with respect.”

Uniting Journeys aims to help people understand the principles of

Frankston Times 15 September 2014

ethical travel, she said. “Whether people are part of a faith group is not important to us, but we really value their willingness to explore new ideas around responsible travel, and to share them with others.

“The grants particularly encourage inter-generational groups, including people 55 and over, and support mixed-aged groups and interfaith and intercultural groups taking part.

“All responsible travel ideas are welcome and could include veteran groups, community groups, individuals and families with responsible

travel ideas that benefit both the travellers and the destination communities in Indochina.”

Anyone aged 18 and over can apply, with groups of six to eight people the ideal. However, other group sizes will be considered. The minimum duration of a tour is six nights.

A responsible travel “mentor” is allocated to each of the selected ideas expression of interest to support the development of the tour.

THE fishing continues to get better by the week as the weather heats up.

While snapper talk is starting to flood the airwaves, anglers shouldn't forget about the other fishing options.

The top end and southern end of Western Port continues with its run of good squid fishing. Snapper are now starting to show in both the north and south. While the snapper are only isolated fish at the moment larger schools will show in the next few weeks.

Also getting caught at the moment are pike, whiting, barracouta, flathead and gummy sharks and small school sharks.

If you put the time in on the water you'll be rewarded. There's a lot of bait in the water and all indications are leaning into a good fishing season.

Port Phillip is also starting to change into snapper season, however it's early days.

Squid have been solid throughout the eastern side of the bay. In the south the squid on average have been larger and jigs in the 3.0-3.5 range have been best, while further north squid have been more plentiful but smaller, in these areas a 2.0-2.5 jig has been doing the damage.

Port Phillip is also full of bait and snapper are about and although no huge schools have shown yet, this will change in the next two weeks.

Large schools of salmon have been showing regularly from Mt Martha to Mt Eliza. Keep an eye in the sky and watch the birds as they'll lead you to the salmon.

Other species being caught in Port Phillip include gummy shark and seven hill shark in the channels and flathead and gurnard on the sand.

From the piers, squid have been a solid option from all platforms. Other species include grass whiting from Flinders and garfish from Mornington.

If you’re looking at hitting the surf beaches some solid salmon are getting caught during the day and in the evening gummy sharks are getting landed. For the best chance of beaching a gummy, try using chunks of fresh salmon (Australian) as bait.

From our rivers and creeks some lovely bream are getting caught. Pippies, mussels and shrimp are best.

Those venturing out on their kayaks are having a ball on the shallow reefs with squid, salmon and pinkie snapper.

Put simply, get on the water and get on the fish.

‘Feed’ business to create jobs

By Kris Bolam* I DON'T believe governments create jobs, people do.

Sometimes, however, it is necessary for governments to go beyond the call of duty and actively encourage job creators to take risks; and actually invest their businesses and/or industries within our communities.

The clincher herein is the fashion in which governments go about stimulating private investment. Unfortunately, lately, we have seen corporate welfare on a grand-scale where numerous large industries have received millions of taxpayer dollars to secure their operational and logistical assets in Australia.

I believe this approach is ineffective in the long term because the bottom line of all businesses and industries is reliant upon inexpensive overheads and minimal regulation. This automatically makes Australia an unattractive place to invest.

Rather, governments should be providing “bread crumb” incentives to small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and creating sustainable economic conditions for private entrepreneurs to have the confidence to invest in able communities like Frankston.

This state government has gone about achieving this in some parts of Victoria: Geelong, Ballarat, Melbourne and the Goulburn Valley.

What Frankston needs, particularly in light of recent unemployment figures which indicate Frankston’s average for unemployment is substantially higher than the national average, is for the government to assist in starting conversations with budding private enterprises looking to relocate their operations to Victoria, as opposed to default locations such as Melbourne and the aforementioned regional catchments.

These companies and industries ought to be encouraged to consider outer suburban areas where growth is still very much untapped.

Although the relocation of South-East Water, a government subsidiary, to Frankston is great news, this does not negate the fact that three primary

employers in our municipality remain government orientated.

This is pernicious because it demonstrates the existing lack of confidence in Frankston’s strategic potential by private investors. The many empty shopfronts in central Frankston illustrate this.

While Frankston Council has gone out on a limb and offered a suite of incentives and policies to stimulate private investment within the area, these efforts are now effectively archaic. I know this because I co-wrote council’s staple initiative some three years ago.

What the council must do is consider fresh and audacious approaches to lure private enterprises.

For instance, Frankston has a sister-city relationship with the Chinese city, Wuxi. Conveniently, Wuxi is the largest manufacturer of solar panels in the world and is considered one of the most advanced green cities in existence.

Surely council could look to gauge intercontinental investment from international cities like Wuxi?

The Carrum Downs industrial zone is an ideal site to base a green commercial cluster. The know-how that could be attained from Wuxi, and the potential distribution opportunities, are too significant to ignore.

Businesses and industries should be also rewarded for employing locals. Rates discounts or credits could be an option to not only retain businesses and industries in Frankston, but to also encourage them to employ locally.

I also believe more should be done for the long term unemployed in our municipality by offering such things as help with writing resumes and preparing for job interviews.

Monash Council has made brilliant inroads in terms of cultivating start-up businesses. Alongside the state and federal governments, the council has allocated funding for the creation of two business incubator sites which provide office space and support services for young businesses to flourish and eventually compete competitively with established businesses.

I raise this commentary because I believe there is

more that can - and should - be done by all tiers of government to attract, retain and expand businesses and industries in Frankston.

Extensive employment opportunities will empower our residents, reduce anti-social behaviour and elevate the general quality of life here in Frankston.

It would be interesting to know what Dunkley MP Bruce Billson, serendipitously also the federal Minister for Small Business, intends to do to attract job creators to Frankston. I am also keen to hear what our candidates for the November state election have to say about local job growth and what strategies they have for increasing private investment in Frankston. *Kris Bolam JP, is a former mayor of Frankston.

Abuse of power A 30-year-old Frankston man is facing a string of charges after allegedly throwing a full can of alcohol at an unmarked police car at Carrum.

Police allege the man reacted angrily to being honked after walking in front of a car driven by an off-duty officer near the corner of McLeod Rd and Station St about 3pm on 30 August.

He was arrested after allegedly hurling abuse – and a full can of bourbon and cola – at the vehicle.

Police allege the man was found to be in possession of marijuana, prescription medicine, a box cutter, and stolen items.

He has been charged with discharging a missile, possessing drugs and weapons, handling stolen goods and dealing with the proceeds of crime.

Afternoon delight RESIDENTS of the Vasey RSL independent living units at Frankston South enjoyed a musical afternoon put on by Toorak College students last week. Three bands – from the middle and senior schools and the Sisters of Swing band - entertained their elderly audience at a lunchtime concert playing brass and woodwind instruments. School staff members John Lucas conducted and Jenny Stevenson played keyboard. “Their performance was very well received,” said resident Trevor Eastman, whose granddaughter Rebekah played flute. “It was a tremendous effort and the residents are still talking about it.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Battle of weeds and thistles declared Compiled by Melissa Hodge SID O’Neil and Cyril Richardson, two well known campers at Frankston have been accepted as members of the Expeditionary Forces, and they may be relied upon to give a good account of themselves when at the front. *** THE Kooyong Club Patriotic concert takes place this (Saturday) evening, in the Frankston Mechanics Hall, when the programme put on the stage will be one of the best. This, in addition to the object for which the concert is being given, should ensure a bumper house. *** A REMARKABLE storm passed over the Dookie district on Tuesday after noon, followed by a phenomenal fall of rain. At Yabba North and Youan it was heavy, over 50 points being registered in minutes. Roadways and paddocks were covered with water.

The fall was most opportune. *** A VISITOR to the Expeditionary Camp on Sunday was informed

by Privates Harry Corington and Bert Roberts that the pipes the boys gave them were “just the thing” and smoked “fine”. Also that the wristlet watches were a great convenience and pleasure, causing some little envy amongst their comrades who were without the useful article. *** THE Defense department announces that Dr’s Maxwell (Frankston), Somers (Mornington), and J. de B. Griffith (Somerville) have offered to give free medical attention to the wives

and children of soldiers from their districts who are accepted for active service. The medical men have been cordially thanked by the Minister. *** Battle of weeds and thistles SATURDAY, September 12th, was proclaimed ‘The Day.’ The weeds and thistles had taken up their residence at the Frankston cemetery, a number of visitors and neighbours noticing their inroads, reported to the authorities that it was time something was done to improve the existing state of affairs.

The Frankston Progress Association and the Cemetery Trust declared war.

The enemy had become firmly entrenched in their occupation of the best positions in the cemetery, and thinking those interested were unprepared, they increased rapidly.

The Progress Association called for volunteers and recruits and a splendid muster assembled, well armed with modern implements of warfare and some very old fashioned but useful tools.

The officer commanding gave orders to approach the enemy in open order, the attack to commence on Saturday afternoon.

Despatches were in charge of Captain C. Gray, of the Head Quarters Frankston Staff, who went in advance of the main column.

The advance party was composed of the Langwarrin division, led by Captain W. Oates, and by the time the main army of workers arrived great inroads had been made in the ranks of the weeds and thistles by

parties including Lieuts. H. Oates, S. Lawrey, Corlett, P. Murray, O. Wells and Matson. Captain T. Bailey, an old campaigner of many wars of this kind.

Many vehicles had been commandeered for transport and within a few minutes of the commencement of operations the battlefield was a scene of great activity among the Allies.

The Medical Corps consisting of Dr Maxwell (President of the Progress Association) and Dr S. Plowman did good work.

The efforts of the water carrier and E.K. Punch for restoratives were very helpful to the thirsty combatants.

(By our Special War Correspondent.) *** FRANKSTON railway station was the scene of unusual activity on Friday morning, the occasion being the departure of another batch of volunteers from this district who are anxious to join the second Expeditionary Force.

The President of the Shire (Cr Oates) has been busily engaged during the last week in enrolling names, with the result that 24 volunteers answered to their names this morning at the railway station, en route for the depot in Melbourne, where they will pass under examination as to their fitness or otherwise to be passed on to the Camp at Broadmeadows, for further preliminary drill prior to their departure to the war. *** HASTINGS Annual I.O.R. Ball.

Learn to swim this summer ARE you serious about your child being safe in the water this summer? Core 24 swim school is passionate about teaching children how to swim and survive.

Their program is approved by Life Saving Victoria and incorporates not only water safety skills, but stroke technique and endurance and is delivered by an experienced team of swimming professionals.

Manager Dorothy Borg, open water swim champion and gold medal swimmer in the Australian Masters last year, said living on the peninsula and being so close to the beach is a constant reminder of the importance of this life skill.

“All our teachers have years of aquatic teaching experience including Bec Wade, who won the award for the best teacher in Australia for infant aquatics in 2008. Our teachers have a passion in what they do and the results are incredible.

“Come down for a free trial and see for yourself”.

“Another huge attraction is that the pool is sanitised using a blend of magnesium and potassium mineral salts sourced from the ocean.

“There are no harsh chlorines used in our pool and spa which is unique to the area. Swimming in our pool water is actually good for you better than going to a hot water spring.” Core 24 swim school director Joe Russo said.

“It’s taken many years to put it all together and the results are amazing. Our water is monitored 24 hours a day to ensure is always crystal clear safe to swim in even for babies.”

Joe means business when it comes to health and fitness. He owns four other gyms and has a great team of professionals helping to spread the word about a healthy lifestyle.

the I.O.R. tent at Hastings was held on 4th September, when the attendance fell somewhat short of that on previous occassions, owing doubtless to other attractions being held in Somerville in the shape of the local footballer’s social which unfortunately was advertised for the same evening.

Nevertheless a most enjoyable time was spent by those who attended, the arrangements being in every way complete and reflected great credit on Mr B. Harrison, the secretary of the movement.

A long programme of 24 dances, with several extras was gone through to the excellent music supplied by the Westernport orchestra.

The following are some of the dresses worn on the occasion : -Mrs T. Roberts, black lace over amber satin. Miss A. Campbell, shell, pink chartreuse satin, polonaise tunic of pink ninon, and recked ribbon. Mrs B. Sposito, black silk, lace bodice, with sequin trimmings. *** THE annual meeting of the Peninsula Cricket Association was held at Hastings on Wednesday evening last.

Delegates were present from Tyabb, Somerville and Naval. Mr H. T. Noble (president) occupied the chair.

The balance sheet showed a credit balance of £4 15s 6d. It was decided to continue the association for the coming season, and Mr Noble and Mr Hollier were elected chairman and secretary respectively.

The date of next meeting was fixed for September 30th when the election

of officers etc. will take place. *** IN the place of their usual social St. Paul’s Club, Frankston, staged a three act comedy, ‘Who’s Who?’ on Saturday last at the Mechanics’.

To judge from the roars of laughter which punctuated each of the many jokes and comical situations the players achieved the success they desired.

The plot centres round the disguise assumed by a young man (Tom) in order to gain the consent of his father (General Stanhope) to his marriage with his father’s ward (Daisy).

Tom copies his disguise from a photograph that he had picked up, with the result that he is exactly like each of twin brothers, Dick and Harry, who shortly after arrive on the scene.

Daisy, Dick’s wife (Mrs Winters) and Harry’s fiance (Molly) all make some bad mistakes. But the most bewildered of all is the general himself.

The third act is placed in the office of a lunatic asylum, of which Dr Wagner is superintendent. There the attendants make fearful mistakes, arresting Tom, Dick and Harry in turn.

The staging of this comedy is the most ambitious effort that this club has yet made. They showed ability in the acting, which had evidently been very carefully rehearsed. The club was fortunate enough to have the help in some of the rehearsals of Mr J. O’Sullivan, who a is well-known in Frankston, and on the night he and Mr Edwards did the makeup.

Confessions of a teenage contortionist

By Stuart McCullough IT snuck up on me. As far as I was concerned, I had remained much the same age for the past 20 years. But somewhere along the line, things have changed.

I suppose there were signs – creaking joints, eyebrows that can only a whipper snipper can control and a face with more creases than unironed laundry; all of them clues to my advancing years. But I ignored them all. Only when the truth was staring at me in the face and holding a mirror did it truly dawn on me – I am getting on.

We were attending a live music show. I call these events “gigs” but am unsure whether this terminology still resonates with the younger generation.

Or, for that matter, if most of them are aware “live music” exists. For all I know, the mere use of the word gig immediately identifies me as someone from a distant age, in which terms like gig were used along with groovy, wireless and horseless carriage.

As I stood in the venue, I ran into an old friend. By that, I mean he called out my name and I turned around, rather than some kind of low-speed incident in the car park requiring the exchange of insurance details. We chatted, as old friends do, and watched while the support band did its best to win over an audience that was, at best, distracted or, worse, yet to arrive.

The band was playing earnest indie folk rock and it was the kind of music my friend and I could relate to as, once upon a time, we had played some earnest indie folk rock of our own.

It brought back memories – not all of them good. As I recall, when writing an indie folk rock song, your job is to summon as much raw emotion and pain as possible. In retrospect, the pain was mostly that of the listener, as I wailed my heartfelt ditties like a spanked cat. If I was to summarise my song writing efforts of the era, I’d probably go with “attempted profundity”.

In 20 years, not much has changed

in the indie folk rock scene. Much like professional wrestlers, today’s songwriters are still very much attempting to “bring the pain”. But as excruciating as it was, it was made even more awkward by the efforts of the band to be noticed. Rather than by means of fascinating song-craft and undeniable melodies, the band members engaged in shameless “rock shaping”.

Rock shapes are the movements you make with your body while weighed

down or otherwise inhibited by your instrument. It’s not dancing, as such, but it does represent an attempt to display the rhythm of the song by way of body movement. The prime culprit in the band we were watching was the bass player. Perhaps he was a retired jazz ballet student or a former mime artist. Whatever the case, he did everything short of strap fireworks to his ears to stand out. Contorting his body, it was as if he had earlier swallowed a key and was now trying to work the object through his system. It would not have surprised me if, at the end of the set, he had produced a metal object, held it aloft and waited expectantly for the crowd to applaud his efforts.

George Harrison may well have had an album called All Things Must Pass, but the bass player had taken this far too literally.

My friend and I shook our heads as this young musician made a complete tool – probably a chrome vanadium steel 16-inch spanner – of himself. But in the midst of our merriment, it struck me. In fact, much like a chrome vanadium steel 16-inch spanner, the realisation came on me with great force.

Here was I, with my friend, talking about how different things were in our day. The words “in our day” rang in my ears like a blast of feedback from a stage monitor. I could ignore the state of my eyebrows, the hair in my ears, the pain in my joints and the fact that school children have started offering me their seats on public transport – it was a single conversation of the “back in our day” variety that finally caused

the penny to drop. The fact of it being a penny rather than decimal currency only made things worse.

My misery was compounded by the fact that I knew, deep down, that I had once been just like that bass player. I, too, had once writhed around in front of a paying audience as though I was locked in mortal battle with my digestive system. My humiliation was compounded by the fact that I wasn’t a bass player but, rather, stuck behind the keyboards. There is, I feel, nothing in this world quite as sad as a keyboard player who craves attention.

Certain instruments lend themselves to throwing rock shapes. Guitarists have it easy. Singers can get away with murder. Bass players run the risk of having people accuse them of wanting to be a guitarist. Keyboard players, however, must suffer the indignity of being accused of being a keyboard player. It is a charge from which there is no escape. For all my efforts, audiences remained immune to my charms and I quietly retired.

It’s time to accept that I’m getting on. Rather than make fun of young men who appear to be in the grip of a savage tape-worm attack, given my age the responsible thing to do is to walk up, put an understanding hand on the shoulder and say “No”. I only wish that someone had done that much for me. Getting older is not so bad, even if my best rock shapes are now behind me. It can only be a good thing. www.stuartmccullough.com

Magpies storm home to crush Demons NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt CRIB Point staged one of the great finals comebacks against Rye in the Nepean League Preliminary Final on Saturday to advance to the 2014 Grand Final.

Down by 29 points at three quarter time, Crib Point booted seven goals to two in a blistering final term to get-up by the smallest of margins, 15.15 (105) to 15.14 (104).

Rye dominated the majority of the match up until three quarter time, but had no answers to the fast finishing Magpies in the final term.

Knowing he needed to roll the dice in the final quarter, Crib Point coach Duane Annable pulled off a couple of moves that really did win the match.

His big four goal kicking weapons are Glenn Boyd (three goals), Luke Herrington, Jon Flack (five goals) and Brad Davidson (three goals). Rarely do all of them play in the forward line at the one time.

However, in the last quarter, Annable loaded up his team’s front half and the result was an avalanche of goals. All four of them contributed on the scoreboard in the final quarter.

In fact, Davidson, as he so often does, snapped a goal from the boundary with 90 seconds left on the clock to put the Pies in front for the first time since early in the first quarter.

Whilst Annable loaded his forward line, it was important that he got the footy down to them in the first place.

To achieve this, he put Waide Symes and Dean Warry in the middle with Brad Arnold and Sam Austin.

The domination of the clearances Crib Point’s way in the final quarter was staggering and it put Rye’s defence under enormous pressure.

The comeback was even more impressive given the fact that star ruckman James Cook went down early in the first quarter with a knee injury. He came back onto the field and looked only 70 per cent but he gave his all for the team in the short spells that he spent in there.

Young key defender Zac Dekluever was forced to do the majority of the ruckwork for the Magpies when Cook went down. He did a sensational job competing against Rye skipper Rhett Sutton in the centre bounces and was more than competitive around the ground.

To be truthful, the Magpies were lucky to be within five goals at three quarter time.

Make no mistake, other than kicking the first two goals of the game, the Magpies were smashed from that point on until the final change.

But what Crib Point was able to do was kick goals against the tide and just stay in the contest.

This was largely due to the efforts of Flack, who was clearly the best player on the ground.

Sam Austin’s work through the middle of the ground was also superb, as was Symes’, while Dean Kairies provided enormous run and drive from

half back. He was able to run and carry the footy, a lot like Warry, which always kept the Rye defence under pressure.

Up until three quarter time, Ryan and Luke Semmel (three goals) were dominating through the middle and around the ground for the Demons, while Ben Holmes (five goals) was looking ominous in attack. Andrew Dean was also on song up forward, finishing with three goals and Sutton and Ben Cain were combining well around the ground. In defence, Leigh Morse was in total control and putting his body on the line on countless occasions.

However, the Demons had no answers in the final quarter. In fact, they ran out of steam.

Rye players began to cramp, especially Ryan Semmel, who ran himself into the ground, while others appeared to be running on the spot.

The Demons didn’t do themselves any favours either.

Despite the constant surges forward from the Magpies, at no stage did Rye get numbers behind the footy to try and clog things up.

The Demons also tried to go toe to toe with the Pies, rather than slowing things down, playing tempo footy and keeping the pill out of the hands of the rampaging opposition.

Rye forward Brady Egan had a chance to win the game with just seconds left on the clock in the final term but kicking against the breeze, he couldn’t quite get the journey, nor the accuracy, from 50 metres out. Andrew

Dean also missed one from 20 metres which could have snuffed out the Pies.

Crib Point has made a reputation for itself this season that no matter what position it is in, it will keep playing the game out to the final siren. The only game when the Pies put the cue in the rack this season was against Red Hill at Red Hill, when they rested players after half time.

The success of any team comes from the fact that they get a contribution from everyone.

While the stars shone when they need to, it was the likes of Zac Condick, Jake Bromley and Beau Monty who really stepped up to the plate when they needed to for the Magpies.

Crib Point coach Duane Annable couldn’t have been happier with his team’s ability to keep fighting, keep themselves in the contest and then storm home the way they did.

However, he found it hard to believe his club was in a Grand Final.

“It’s all a bit surreal to be honest,” Annable said on Sunday morning before recovery.

“It was a big effort from the boys and I’m just so happy for everyone involved in the Crib Point Football Club.

“A lot of people have put in a lot of hard work and it’s just reward for them that we were able to get here.

“From a playing and coaching point of view though, the job is far from done.

“We certainly celebrated the win on the final siren and sang the song pretty hard in the rooms but the minute we

finished the song, it was back down to business again.

“The team went straight to the beach after the match and there was no celebrating on Saturday night.

It was then to recovery at the beach again on Sunday morning.”

Annable said his message was pretty simply at three quarter time.

“I just reminded the players of our fitness and our ability to come back when we are behind. We did it against Somerville through the year when we were a long way behind,” Annable said.

“I knew Rye would blow up at some point. They had a very tough road to get as far as they did and they had one less day to prepare than us. As it turned out, they were pretty flat in the last quarter.

“I also knew that we needed to go all out attack. It wasn’t going to take five or 10 minutes to turn around. We needed to press for the entire quarter to get the result.

“Loading the forward line and getting some clearances out of the middle was the key. We made the moves on the bench, however it was up to the individuals to deliver – and they did.”

Annable said he was more than ‘hopeful’ that James Cook would lineup in the Grand Final against Sorrento this Saturday.

“We are confident that there is no structural damage to James’ knee.

We’ll just assess him through the week but I would expect him to be available.

League’s handling of finals slammed

By Toe Punt DROMANA coach Doug Koop has criticised league decision makers for their handling of the final series.

Koop, an experienced and heralded coach at Frankston YCW in Peninsula League, Cranbourne in Casey Cardinia and now Dromana in Nepean League, wrote a scathing letter to league operations general manager Ian Benson following his side’s loss to Rye in the Qualifying Final.

Whilst Koop understandably didn’t want his letter to be made public knowledge in its entirety, he was happy to share his views on the “absolutely disgraceful’ decision to hold a final against Rye at their home ground.

Whilst at Cranbourne, Koop’s team was forced to play Berwick at Berwick in a second semi final two seasons ago and Beaconsfield at Beaconsfield last season in a Preliminary Final.

Koop believes that the decision to hold finals against a team at their home grounds gave an unfair advantage to that team.

No-one disagrees with Koop on this matter.

“It surely can’t be that difficult to understand that clubs who qualify for finals want two things from the league, to play on the best grounds and have no home ground advantages for any finalists,” Koop wrote.

“The stubbornness and lack of

communication is downright disrespectful to clubs that have worked very hard during the season and won the right to play off in finals.

“The standard and quality of our local game has developed so rapidly in the last few years, yet we are expected to play on substandard surfaces that put our players at risk.

“The best games (finals) need to be played on the best grounds,” Koop said.

Rye Football Club coach, Ben Holmes, skipper Rhett Sutton and club legend Scott Beel forced the league’s hand and had last Saturday’s Preliminary Final changed from Somerville to Hastings.

After viewing the surface, Sutton and Holmes informed Beel of the condition of the ground and asked for the league to change it.

However, they were told by league officials that the ground was fit for play.

It wasn’t until Holmes, Sutton and Beel drove to Somerville and insisted that the league meet them at the ground and walk over it, that the location was changed.

Beel and club president Mick O’Rourke left numerous messages and emails with league chief Jeff Jones to contact them about the situation throughout the week.

On Saturday, they still had not received a reply.

Doggies maul sinking Sharks PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt MORNINGTON booted 11 goals to three after half time to run all over the top of Bonbeach in the Peninsula League Preliminary Final on Sunday.

The Doggies will play Frankston YCW in the Grand Final this Sunday at Frankston Park after winning their third straight final, 14.11 (95) to 12.7 (79).

Mornington had to work hard to turn the game around though.

The Dogs looked shot at half time, trailing by 39 points after being completely blown away by the Sharks.

The Bonbeach half back line, led by Gary Carpenter and Paul Rebeschini, was dominating for Bonbeach, Shane McDonald was left one out on too many occasions and had five goals at the major interval and Matty Batten was completely shutting down the dangerous Jackson Calder.

Brad Sykes was a welcome addition to the team, along with James Norton and Dylan Jones, while Rob Horler was also brought into the line-up. Other than Anthony Raso, the Sharks were at full strength.

Shaun Foster was presenting well across half forward for the Sharks and making a nuisance of himself and Jackson Casey was dominating through the middle of the ground.

Many pundits in the crowd were claiming that the game would be over at

inside 50 and for the first time in the match, rushed Bonbeach’s defence and put them under enormous pressure.

Williams booted two goals himself and set-up another in the space of 10 minutes and within a blink of an eye, the Doggies were just a goal down.

Chris Paxino and Warwick Miller started to take control of the game for the Dogs and Ben Clements and Stuart Seagar (two goals) started to look dangerous.

Adam Symes started to get the better of McDonald too, while Chris Baker was backing himself in the back half and Barry Smeeton and Danny Nolan were exerting their influence on the game around the contests.

The underrated Paul Dadds and Ryan Smith, as well as Tommy Simpson, were also continuing the good work they displayed in the first half.

The result was an amazing turnaround. In fact, the Dogs booted seven goals to one for the quarter to trail by just three points at three quarter time.

Shane McDonald’s sixth and final goal put the Sharks back in front just before the three quarter time siren.

In amazing circumstances, despite the wind favouring the Kars St end of Frankston Park in the first three quarters, the direction changed in the last quarter and shifted in favour of the Port Phillip Bay end.

Luck was on the Dogs’ side and they responded in kind. The last quarter was

Heading for grand final: Crib Point players were relieved to beat Rye by just 1 point and make it to the Nepean League Grand Final. Picture: Andrew Hurst

the 10-minute mark of the third quarter, such was Bonbeach’s dominance.

It certainly looked that way, that’s for sure.

However, there was one legend of the game and a Bonbeach follower who claimed that if Mornington could get back to within three goals at three quarter time, they would run all over the top of the Sharks.

One thing was for certain, if Mornington didn’t change things up at half time, the result of the contest was obvious.

Mornington coach Stuart Seager and his brains trust need to be commended.

They swung the changes, put some heavier bodies in the middle of the ground, dragged Calder up the ground to give them a midfield tall target and stuck Michael Williams inside attacking 50.

The result was immediate.

Man mountain ruckman Michael Gay, who was winning the tap outs already, started to be rewarded with his own midfielders winning the footy in the middle.

This gave the Dogs quick access

all Mornington, booting 4.7 to two goals in the final 28 minutes.

Jackson Calder booted two last quarter goals and highlighted his maturity and never say die attitude.

After the game, Seager said it was a “great win”.

“It was a real credit to the boys to stand up in that second half,” Seager said.

Seager needs to take a lot of credit himself – the moves that were made to turn the game around were match winning.

The third quarter onslaught was the third time in as many weeks that Mornington has blown away sides in the third quarter – they did it against Langwarrin, Edithvale and Bonbeach on Sunday.

Certainly, the Dogs would want to be a lot closer than 39 points at half time this weekend against Frankston YCW in the Grand Final.

The Doggies have been wonderful this season and are a worthy combatant to tackle YCW this weekend.

Bonbeach will now turn its attention to finding another coach after Steve Capp resigned more than a month ago.

At this stage, other than former Melbourne midfielder (and former Mt Eliza coach) Paul Hopgood and Hawthorn premiership player Brent Guerra, they have not interviewed any other candidates.

The search will begin in earnest this week.

Goosey gone, clubs start coaches search FOOTY NEWS

Goosey no longer a Dolphin

By Toe Punt

Coaching coup for Bombers Langwarrin midfielder and former Hawthorn first round draft pick Beau Muston will coach Frankston Bombers next season.

Muston booted almost 40 goals for the Kangas this season, however, is looking for greater opportunity to coach.

It appears that former Hawthorn and Port Adelaide player and Frankston Bombers’ premiership player Nathan Lonie has lured Muston to the club.

Nathan Lonie is believed to be keen to have a chairman of selectors role and run the bench for Muston.

There is no suggestion that Nathan Lonie will play.

It also believed that Ryan Lonie is not at all interested in a return to Bomberland in any capacity.

It appears Simon Goosey has coached his last game for Frankston Dolphins.

The new board asked Goosey, who has coached the Dolphins for the past six years, to reapply for his position, after the previous board gave him the nod for 2015.

It is believed Goosey is not prepared to reapply.

The Mornington premiership coach and the league’s greatest ever goal kicker has been interviewed at St Kilda for a development position, while it is also understood that there is a big offer on the table in Perth with a WAFL Club.

We also hear that Mornington is keen to get ‘Goose’ back to the club after Stuart Seagar resigned due to work commitments.

Dolphins fall out

There has been a fall out at Dolphins

Coaching movements

The coaching merry-go-round continues with many clubs still looking for coaches.

Rye is the newest club looking for a coach after Ben Holmes retired. Although Holmes has retired from Rye, there are at least six clubs looking at his services as a player for next season.

After a stellar second half to the 2014 season, Holmes is a long way from finished as a player.

Former Hastings’ coach Glenn Michie is back and looking for a role in local footy next season. ‘Mouse’

coached the Blues to a one-point loss to Sorrento in the Nepean League Grand Final. This season he coached his home club Newborough. After winning the second semi-final against Mirboo North by 90 points, his team was beaten by a point in the Grand Final by the same team. He has already been interviewed by Pearcedale and will be interviewed by Devon Meadows this week. Mornington is also keen to have a chat with him.

At Mornington, it is believed that former Rye and Pines coach Steve Ryan and former Edithvale coach Troy Shannon are of interest. Ryan is still the preferred candidate for Devon Meadows and would be a wonderful fit at that club.

Player movements There is no doubt that this is silly season and players are already looking elsewhere.

as a result of Simon Goosey effectively being given the chop from the new board.

Goosey’s assistant Pat Swayne is said to be considering the vacant Pines job, while star players Scott Simpson and Michael Lourey are considering a return to Mt Eliza.

It is understood that Frankston YCW has offered Dromana premiership player Christian Ongarello a spot on their list next season. ‘Onga’ lives in Elwood. The likelihood is that he may retire from the game, which would be premature after making the Nepean Team of the Year.

Langwarrin will welcome back three top liners next season in Jayden Grose, Shane Patterson and Gerard ‘Boofa’ Brown. Meanwhile, former Dromana premiership player and new Langwarrin midfielder, Liam Hogan, won the club’s best and fairest.

There was a lot of talk coming out of Hastings last week about player unrest. There was even talk that the coach was approached and told that if certain players were not asked to leave, there could be a mass walk-out. According to a club legend, the talk has no substance or truth to it.

THE iconic Pajero has been refined from the inside out, with interior and exterior cosmetic updates and an upgraded NVH package contributing to a quieter, more comfortable on-road performance.

The Pajero’s tough exterior has been enhanced with sophisticated styling features including a new front bumper, chrome radiator grille and new spare tyre cover design. Inside, a new centre panel design and chrome air conditioning dials brighten the appearance. Flexible seating for up to seven people is now standard across the range maximising space and functionality.

Significant NVH upgrades on all automatic models have improved cabin quietness with new dash panel acoustic insulation material. For extra isolation performance, noise absorbing material has been added to the engine hood, top cowl, floor area, headlining, rear quarter trim and front transmission tunnel area. A noise insulation layer has also been added to the laminated firewall material.

Recommended retail prices have been rolled back across a new three model structure with the GLX manual starting from $50,990 RRP. Even the entry-level Pajero GLX has an extensive list of luxurious features including 18-inch alloy wheels, front LED Daytime Running Lamps (DRL), privacy glass and chrome outer door handles and mirrors for added style. The masculine exterior is complemented with front mud guards, side steps and rear deflector. High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps come as standard to help improve visibility on and off the road and a rear differential lock enhances the Pajero’s superior 4WD capabilities.

The mid-range Pajero GLS replaces the GLXR and VRX models, with an RRP of $58,990.

The GLS gains the Mitsubishi Multi Communication System (MMCS) with satellite navigation, reversing sensors, rain sensing wipers and dusk sensing headlamps. Inside, heated and

power front seats and partial leather seat trim offer added comfort.

The top of the range Pajero Exceed is packed with stylish features for the ultimate in superior four-wheel driving. Electric sunroof with slide and tilt, sport pedals, chrome windscreen and side protection moulding and a wood and leather four-spoke steering wheel enhance the interior appearance.

Automatic high beam is a new feature on the Pajero Exceed. A forward facing camera located in the rear view mirror bracket senses oncoming vehicle headlights and adjusts accordingly to allow the driver to stay focused on the road at all times. The Pajero Exceed is available from $65,990 RRP. Mitsubishi Motors Australia Executive Director of Marketing Tony Principe said the 15MY Pajero offers the best in 4WD technology, with updated styling, new features and sharp pricing to enhance its appeal.

“The Pajero has been a long favourite of Australian customers with its remarkable 4WD capabilities, safety features and exceptional power and performance,” he said.

“The Pajero nameplate has rightfully earned its reputation for legendary off-road performance through decades of development and success in motorsport.

“The updated 2015 Pajero range is packed full of features and offers the ultimate in premium four-wheel driving with no compromise on value.

“We’ve added luxury specifications across the range to enhance drive comfort and convenience with a model to suit every adventure.”

Mitsubishi’s 2015 model year Pajero range has a 5 year/100,000km New Vehicle Warranty and is on sale now at Mornington Mitsubishi, 41 Tyabb Road, Mornington. Phone (03) 5975 5188.
