Game on HOUNDED by his Chinese opponents, this New Zealand ruckman struggles for a clean disposal in last week’s International Cup match at Linen House Centre, Seaford. Despite the intensity shown here, the game was a mismatch from the start, with the strongly fancied Kiwis running out easy winners 28.25 (193) to 0.0 (0). See ‘No fire from footy dragons’, Page 8.

Alarm as jobs crisis deepens Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au RISING unemployment combined with welfare cuts and increased household costs are pushing more and more Frankston families into financial crisis, especially within marginalised pockets of the city. Latest jobless figures show Frankston is one the country’s worst affected regions, with unemployment hitting as much as 8.2 per cent compared to a national rate of 6.4 per cent.
And rapidly rising unemployment is only half the story – it is also taking people much longer time to find work, with the average duration of jobseeker registration now 25 months. The overall jobless rate for the combined Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region climbed to 7.1 per cent in July, on par with the state-wide average. However, Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show the situation is far worse within certain areas of the region, with the jobless rate in Frankston’s central, north and western regions more
particularly hard hit by welfare cuts and tough new Centrelink payment qualification rules. Welfare groups say they are already struggling to keep up with demand and won’t be able to bridge the gap caused welfare cuts, such as the axing on the Schoolkids Bonus and Family Tax Benefit B and forcing single parents off the pension when their youngest child reach six. Of particular alarm is the situation confronting young people, with youths not only facing unemployment rates of almost double that of older residents,

than double that of other zones. ABS data shows unemployment in the western region of Frankston had climbed to 8.2 per cent, compared to 5.9 per cent in the city’s east, while the rate for the north western sector of the peninsula was just 3.2 per cent compared to 7.1 per cent for the southern peninsula. Welfare agencies fear residents within these pockets of poverty will face a growing struggle finding secure work due to an ever shrinking supply of low and semi-skilled jobs. Low-income families will also be

but also having to content with tough new Centrelink regimes, including having to apply for 40 jobs a month and being cut off payments altogether for six months at a time. With a large number of low-income families and out of work residents, the “unemployment crisis” looms as a critical election issue for Frankston in the upcoming November state election. Frankston mayor Darrel Taylor said the poll is the ideal opportunity to push all parties on providing more jobs. Continued Page 12

Fast track to trauma Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au

Desert dreams time PART of Western Australia’s remote desert is coming to Langwarrin in a free exhibition hosted at the McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery. The We Don’t Need A Map experience melds the traditional culture of the Martu people with cutting edge new media artists from across Australia. Stunning paintings, digital animation, video installations, photographic portraits and cultural objects immerse visitors and give an insight into the Martu culture. Senior Martu artist and exhibition consultant, Nora Taylor, said the exhibition is a chance for people to experience “a little bit of our desert”. “More people will see Martu painting, more whitefellas will see what we do, teaching people about the homeland where we are from,” he said.
The exhibition was originally hosted by the Fremantle Arts Centre in 2012 and was critically acclaimed and popular. McClelland Gallery director Robert Lindsay said the exhibition features traditional and contemporary artworks and photography, documentaries and Martu demonstrations. “Great knowledge and familiarity with the landscape means you don’t need a map to navigate across vast open desert terrain to be at one with the spirit of the land,” he said. We don’t need a map: a Martu experience of the Western Desert, Sunday 17 August-Sunday 11 November at McClelland Sculpture Park & Gallery, 390 McClelland Drive, Langwarrin. See wwwmcclellandgallery.com for opening times. Entry is free.
ANOTHER day, another near rail fatality, another traumatised train driver. The near miss this time was on the Frankston line at Chelsea shortly after midday last Saturday week when a train driver was forced to slam on the emergency brakes after spotting a person on the tracks. Fortunately, the individual was not hit but passengers were trapped on board the train in between stations for more than 30 minutes while a replacement driver was found. Frankston line commuters experienced delays into the early afternoon as Metro battled to get services back on schedule. But the inconvenience to passengers was relatively minor compared to the long-term mental health effects faced by the driver. As has been the case in hundreds of similar incidents across Melbourne’s train network each year, the driver involved in Saturday’s near miss required treatment for shock and will now undergo ongoing trauma counselling that could see him off work for an extended period of time. “As you can imagine, near misses such as this can be very traumatic events for our drivers,” Metro Trains spokeswoman Pauline O’Connor said. “Unlike a car, our drivers are not able to swerve the train out of the way, or bring it to a stop quickly, and these incidents can have a traumatic effect on our driver’s wellbeing. “It is a confronting experience for our drivers every time they need to use
“It can take a fully loaded freight train up to 2 kilometres to stop, that’s equivalent to 14 full-sized football fields, it is time that people heed this warning. “I implore all Australians to listen to our message and stay safe around trains and tracks, don’t become a near hit statistic. We simply cannot and will not let this issue fall off the radar.” Ms O’Connor agreed that addressing the behaviour of the public around rail lines was the most important factor in improving safety. She said more than half of all disruptions to Metro train services is due to “third party incidents” such as individuals trespassing on tracks or car accidents at levels crossings. “Every day, our drivers and staff witness people behaving dangerously or taking risks around the railway,” she said. “It’s especially important to take care around level crossings, for both cars and pedestrians. “If the boom gates are down, then it is unsafe to cross, even if a train appears to be some distance away. “Too often we see people running around the booms or pedestrian gates to save 30 seconds, and sometimes these near misses have serious consequences. Saving 30 seconds is not worth your life.” There were 11 deaths involving trains in Melbourne’s south-east last year, and a further five already this year. The most recent of these were a man who was hit near Cheltenham on 10 July and an elderly man riding a bicycle who was struck and killed at an Edithvale pedestrian crossing a month earlier.
the emergency brake, as it is generally clear to them when a collision is going to occur.” She said Metro Trains had a comprehensive trauma support process in place to help drivers deal with the effects of fatalities and near misses. And the need for trauma support services for drivers is significant, with dozens of fatalities and hundreds of near misses involving trains every year. A study conducted by national rail industry safety group TrackSAFE showed that there were more than 1000 near misses on Australian railway lines every year. To coincide with Rail Safety Week, which runs from 11-17 August, TrackSAFE has mounted a public awareness campaign to draw attention to the effect theses near misses can have on train drivers. “In reality, these 1000 near hits show us that 1000 people could have ruined their own life, as well as the lives of the train driver, scene attendants, witnesses, and their family,” TrackSAFE Foundation patron, former deputy prime minister Tim Fischer said. “A rail accident affects more than just you and that’s the message the industry is trying to get across this Rail Safety Week.” Mr Fischer said “every single death and injury on the rail network could be avoided” if people remained vigilant and obeyed the rules. “Rail is the safest form of land transport. The issue is behavioural — when people go to take risks around railway lines they fail to realise that trains always have right of way and simply cannot stop quickly,” he said.

Fine time: Police conduct breath tests while sheriff’s officers use automatic number plate recognition technology to check for outstanding fines during an operation in Ballam Park last week. Picture: Gary Sissons
Net closes on fine dodgers A COMBINED police and sheriff’s operation in Frankston last week netted 24 drivers with 454 outstanding warrants valued at more than $140,000. Uniformed sheriff’s officers and police used automatic numberplate recognition technology to scan hundreds of vehicles on Cranbourne Rd at Ballam Park last Monday during the targeted operation. Ten drivers were notified their driver licence or vehicle registration would be suspended if they did not arrange to pay within seven days. These notices were issued against 122 warrants worth almost $38,000. Payment was received from five people to finalise 23 warrants worth more than $7,800. One defendant was required to pay $2,383 to finalise their outstanding matter. Sheriff of Victoria Brendan Facey said more operations would be run in an effort to stamp out
fine evasion and to remind people of the serious consequences if they don’t pay their fines. “Technology is making it easier to locate fine evaders and if necessary take action to have the fines paid,” Mr Facey said. “Payment of fines is not optional. People are liable for their outstanding infringements and continuing to ignore them will not make them go away.” The Sheriff’s Office regularly conducts targeted enforcement activity such as special operations and roadblocks, as well as multi-agency operations involving VicRoads and Victoria Police, he said. “People who continue to ignore their outstanding fines run the risk of tough sanctions, including wheel-clamping, asset confiscation, licence suspension and even arrest.” Anyone with concerns about their outstanding fines should call 1300 SHERIFF or visit www. fines.vic.gov.au
POLICE are hunting a burglar who was caught on CCTV cameras wearing a fake beard and glasses during a series of break-ins at factories in Carrum Downs and Somerville. “The bearded burglar has had a few close shaves and was captured on CCTV at three separate industrial areas where CCTV cameras were damaged,” police said. The first two incidents occurred at a factory area in Simcock St, Somerville, where a CCTV camera was damaged in the early hours of 20 May and again on 17 July a camera was also damaged. The most recent incident occurred on 1 August at a factory area on Access Way in Carrum Downs when a CCTV camera was damaged around 2am. Frankston crime investigation unit detectives last week released an image of a man that may assist with their investigation. He is described as being Caucasian in appearance and aged 18 to 25. A SEAFORD man was last week arrested and charged over an alleged hit and run incident in Frankston in July that left a female cyclist in hospital with multiple injuries. The 48-year-old man is facing nine charges including recklessly causing serious injury, conduct endangering life and leaving the scene of an accident. Former Ironman champion Michelle Blake, 46, was seriously injured after a vehicle veered across her path while she was riding along the Nepean Highway in Frankston about 11am on Friday 25 July. Ms Blake, who is battling cancer, sustained four fractured ribs and a suspected fractured pelvis. The driver allegedly fled the scene following the incident outside Dan Murphy’s liquor outlet between Ross Smith Ave and Wells St. Bystanders unsuccessfully tried to chase the late-model white Holden commodore as it sped away through the car park towards Key St. The man was bailed to appear before Frankston Magistrates Court on 12 December.
A MAN allegedly attacked protective services officers at Frankston railway station last Saturday night. Police said the man kicked in the door of the PSO booth on the platform about 9pm and “shaped up” to the officers inside. After refusing to back down, the intruder was sprayed with capsicum foam, but this failed to stop him. The man then assaulted one of the PSOs. “After a violent confrontation and wrestle he was finally subdued,” Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb of Frankston police said. “Thankfully the only injury to the PSOs was some secondary exposure to the capsicum foam.” A 44-year-old Seaford man was arrested and charged with a range of offences including assault and criminal damage. FRANKSTON police a hunting a man over the aggravated assault of a security guard. The attacker is alleged to have punched the guard three times in the head before hitting him with a bottle at a Nepean Hwy business about 1.15am on 14 July. He then punched another man who tried to help the guard before entering a light coloured Toyota Hilux on Davey St. He is described as Caucasian in appearance, aged in his early 20s with a medium build, dark hair and was wearing a black t-shirt and a fluorescent orange and black jacket. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

Welfare groups plan for a choir Stephen Taylor steve@baysidewnews.com.au FOR a long time, Janet McCahon had been thinking about establishing a “Choir of Hard Knocks” in Frankston to help the disadvantaged. Now it looks like her prayers will be answered ... with a bonus. A past district governor of Rotary International and president of the Rotary Club of Frankston Long Island, Ms McCahon has even managed to entice the man behind the original Choir of Hard Knocks project, Jonathan Welch, to help establish the Frankston chapter. Ms McCahon knows first-hand that many local people need help. In her other role - as president of the Frankston Churches Community Breakfast Program - she helps serve breakfast to around 70 homeless and destitute people six days a week. So, it was with a sense of serendipity that, at a Rotary district conference earlier this year in Bendigo, Ms McCahon managed to talk to Dr Welch, the guest speaker, and discovered that he, too, shared her dream of a choir in Frankston. “Frankston needs a boost – it’s not such a bad place,” she said. “I had been trying to get something up but it hadn’t been the right time. Then, after talking to Jonathan, and getting him on board, I knew we could do it. He’s a real feather in our cap.” Members of the choir will be chosen by different welfare agencies – with interest and passion the main criteria. “It will be great for those who take part and help fill their rotten days – rather than mooching around

the shops all day. Of course, not all will be brilliant singers, but if they can’t sing they will be taught how,” Ms McCahon said. “Under Jonathan’s direction we can’t fail.” To get things rolling, a choir steering committee will hold a dinner meeting at the Frankston International Motel on Wednesday 3 September to encourage local cubs and members of the business community to get on board. “We need sponsors to raise the money to get this brilliant idea off the ground and, if clubs get behind it, we can seek a grant to double the money raised,” past president of the Rotary Club of Frankston Long Island, Judy Rebecca, said. The committee includes representatives of the Rotary clubs
of Frankston Long Island, Peninsula 2.0 and Frankston North, the High Street Uniting Church and Frankston Community Support Service. Volunteers are welcome to join the committee. At the dinner meeting, Dr Welch will “talk and sing about the concept of how the activation of this choir can help the most vulnerable people in our communities to be socially included" – Ms Rebecca said - and also to "experience the best quality arts programs we can deliver”. Local clubs are invited to participate and to spread the word to the wider business community and others who may be interested. The cost of the two-course meal in the motel’s Panorama Room is $30 per person. Bookings are essential for catering purposes. Call 0415 109 859.

No fire from footy Dragons
Soaring to easy win: The New Zealand Hawks ruckman clearly has the edge on his Chinese Dragon opponent. Picture: Yanni
NEW Zealand gave China a good old-fashioned spanking in their AFL International Cup match at the Linen House Centre, Seaford, on Wednesday. The Chinese Dragons didn’t trouble the scorer losing to the New Zealand Hawks 28.25 (193) to nil. The Dragons must have gone into the match with some confidence. They are three-time Cup participants and all their players completed a season in the South China Australian Football League. For the first time, the team had a thorough selection process for players as well as a pretournament camp. None of this was much use against the Hawks, however, who demonstrated their status as an elite team in the AFL New Zealand high performance program. Their young
players have dominated the NZ club and provincial competitions, with several on the radar of AFL clubs. The Hawks have a strong history at the International Cup, winning in 2005 and with many players in cup campaigns in 2008 and 2011. Goals (all New Zealand) went to Morton 9, Mundell 3, Inglis 3, Toomer 2, Clark 2, Baker-Thomas 2, M. Gregson, W.Gregson, Christensen, Johnson, McKenzie, Benny, Van Wijk Best players: New Zealand: Howison, Morton, Smith, Mundel, Inglis, Toomer China: Z. Chen, Zhang, Deng, Zheng, S. Chen, F. Yang AFL head of development Grant Williams said the International Cup – played between 18 men’s and seven women’s teams - celebrated the passion those outside of Australia
have for the game. “There are 100,000 international participants throughout the world who share our love of Australian football,” he said. “IC14 brings together the best 900 players from 18 countries. It’s colourful and exciting.” Expatriate Australians are ineligible to play in the International Cup. Teams are made up of amateurs who must be nationals of the country they represent. Players must have lived most of their lives - between the ages of 10 and 16 – in that country. The International Cup is played every three years. Previous International Cup winners are Ireland (2002 and 2011), New Zealand (2005) and Papua New Guinea (2008). Stephen Taylor

Donation brings soft landings A $10,000 donation is providing soft and safe landings for elderly patients at Frankston and Rosebud hospitals and Peninsula Health centres in Golf Links Rd, Frankston and Mornington. The latest grant from the Grosvenor Foundation is being spent on fall-out mats and bed monitors. The mats prevent patients rolling from the low-lying beds while the monitors alert staff that a patient is attempting to get up without assistance.
“Staff are able to immediately respond to the alarm and reduce the patient’s fall risk,” chief operating officer Jan Child said. “This additional equipment will allow us to better care for the large numbers of elderly patients who are at risk of falling that are in our care. “The Mornington Peninsula has the largest population of over 65s in Victoria.” Ms Child said the Grosvenor Foundation has given Peninsula Health nearly $40,000 in the past three years.

Front row, from left: Mal Noble (first wheelchair) TRAG committee, father of Skye Thorpe. His son Tim was killed in a crash with other Peninsula School students, Brendan Lang, presenter, Carl Attwood, paramedic and Danielle Haggerty, presenter, whose brother was killed in a car accident.
Driving home the road safety message STUDENTS from Balcombe Grammar, Rosebud Secondary College, Chisholm Institute Frankston and Mt Eliza Secondary College attended last week’s Teenagers Road Accident Group – TRAG – forum at Peninsula Community Theatre in Mornington. The 400 students and teachers heard all about driving and road safety from Pricilla Grimme, Southern Metro Central Region SES, Grant Watkins, Victoria Police, and presenters Brendan Lang, Skye Thorpe and Sam Howe. Teenagers Road Accident Group members gave students P-plates which, on their reverse side, feature an image of the tree which took the life of Stacey House, daughter of TRAG chairperson Terry House. Her sister, Kelly, gave a moving presentation. Don’t-txt-n-drive packs - with bright orange wristbands
or key chains – were provided by Vicky Richardson, a Shepparton mother who doesn’t want daughter Brooke’s death to go unnoticed. The 20-year-old hairdresser had won apprentice-ofthe-year two years running and loved helping those less fortunate, but, she made the fatal mistake of texting when driving – the last decision she ever made. These packs are now at all Woolworth stores on the peninsula. Guests at the TRAG presentation included Assistant Police Commissioner Robert Hill, MPs Martin Dixon and Greg Hunt, Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Dr Michael Kennedy, and representatives from Lions and other service groups.
PLATFORMS on the Frankston line are being fitted with ramps so people with mobility aids such as wheelchairs and motorised scooters can board trains more easily. And ‘no-cyclist’ signs will be painted on platforms to prevent bike riders boarding the front of the first carriage and taking up all the space. The idea for this came from Patterson Lakes’ resident Bill Walstab at the Kingston Cabinet in November. Yesterday, he joined Carrum MP Donna Bauer and Transport Minister Terry Mulder to inspect the first ramp at Carrum station. “The ramps will give mobility aid users greater freedom and confidence to travel on public transport without feeling like they are holding up hundreds of people while they board or alight,” Mr Walstab said. The $4.5 million initiative will allow wheelchair and other mobility-
New lighting for ‘safe’ taxi rank NEW solar-powered lighting has been installed in the car park adjacent to Frankston’s “safe taxi rank” at the corner of Young and Davey streets.

aid users to enter the first door of the first carriage of trains unassisted, giving them greater independence. They are being funded as part of the $115 million Bayside Rail Project. “The new ramps will provide a terrific boost to the independence and accessibility of people in the community with special needs,” Mr Mulder said. Their rubberised ‘finger’ neatly covers the gap between the platform and the carriage. Ms Bauer said the wheelchair stencil and signage would be progressively rolled out to other lines on metropolitan and regional rail networks. “This roll out will help make sure that the first carriage is reserved for people who really need it,” Ms Bauer said. “The boarding ramps will also assist with the punctual running of trains, as drivers will less often need to exit the cabin to assist passengers.”

The match was the first to be played under floodlights after Skye got the official go ahead from Football Federation Victoria. Skye’s under 16s were certainly switched on for the match, smashing Warragul 8-0.

Business owners help shape policy FRANKSTON business owners have an historic opportunity to influence federal government policy on small business. The owners will have the ear of Frankston-based Small Business Minister Bruce Billson, who is attending the first local Small Business White Paper Summit at Frankston International on Friday 22 August. Summits are being held across Australia over the next three months. The White Paper being developed by the Australian Institute of Public Accountants and Deakin University will inform the government’s Australian Small Business White Paper ordered by Mr Billson, with the first draft expected in September. “This is an exclusive opportunity to add your voice to a new era of small business policy development in Australia,” said Prof Andrew Conway, chief executive officer and chair of
the Institute of Public Accountants and Deakin University SME Research Partnership. Prof Conway said questions business owners might ponder ahead of the summit included: How can the tax regime be improved for small business? What is the biggest compliance headache that small business faces? How would they rate your interactions with government? Is there a level playing field that encourages small business to be competitive? Is finance for small business adequate, affordable and accessible? How can small business grow through innovation? Are there opportunities for small business to export? “The prospect is this White Paper will be a landmark contribution to the policy discourse and will be seen as a game-changing document,” Prof Conway said. “The fundamental proposition is: if you or your organisation has a legiti-
mate interest in playing a role in the future policy directions of small business, then you have no choice but to be involved in this process. “This will be the beginning of a movement to turn Australia into the best place in the world to start and operate a small business.” International data from the Conference Board Total Economy Database show that its measure of MFP (multifactor productivity) in Australia fell by 1.3 per cent in 2013 (same magnitude of the decline in 2012). This productivity performance was comparable with that of Canada (-1.1 per cent) and New Zealand (-1.2 per cent) but significantly worse than most other developed economies. According to the White Paper discussion document, the economic stopgap to this turn of events will be productivity in small business. It states that small business accelera-
tion can come from cutting regulation that costs time better spent on improving the business. Being smarter means offering concessions to small businesses undertaking research and offering direct help to small businesses positioned to capitalise on social media commerce. And a cheaper more competitive environment would be created by tax concessions to small businesses undertaking innovative practices, delivering a productivity dividend, or developing innovative strategies to employ and up-skill new or existing employees. The free summit, including breakfast, is scheduled for 7.15am with a 7.30 start and ending at 9am. Space is limited, so register early with Wayne Debernardi, wayne.debernardi@publicaccountants.org.au The full draft of the White Paper is available at www.publicaccountants. org.au
Rising unemployment sparks alarm Continued from Page 1 Cr Taylor said council was focused on a “long-term view to increasing employment opportunities for our residents, and that is what we are pitching to both political parties ahead of November’s state election”. “We want investment in projects that create blue collar jobs in the construction phase, provide ongoing white collar jobs and stimulate other sectors of our economy by bringing more people to Frankston,” he said. With Frankston having been designated a metropolitan activity centre and
health and education hub under recently released Plan Melbourne guidelines, and with three hospitals and two tertiary education institutions, Frankston was “the perfect home” for the administrative headquarters of public health and education providers, Cr Taylor said. “One of council’s priorities ahead of the state election is a commitment from both sides of politics to a business case for the redevelopment of the Frankston Transit Interchange, which could potentially be home to a government department or public organisation like Peninsula Health.”
The ALP has blamed the Coalition for the declining jobs situation and slammed government cuts to TAFE. Cranbourne MP Jude Perera, whose electorate takes in areas of Frankston North where the rate of unemployment is among the region’s highest, said families not only had to contend with job losses, but also rising fees, fines and levies. However the Napthine government has defended its jobs and education programs, saying it had invested heavily in major job creation projects, especially in regional Victoria. Frankston independent MP Geoff
Shaw said generating more opportunities for businesses and attracting more employers to the city was the key to providing more jobs. “Unemployment is naturally a concern which is why we have been fighting so considerably for more jobs in Frankston,” Mr Shaw said. “South East Water bringing 700 jobs, with an estimated flow-on effect of a further 300 added jobs in Frankston, is just the start as we will be pushing for reduced red-tape and construction wait times in Frankston CBD, with many companies looking to invest in our region given its incredible infrastructure and potential.”
Get pampered THE Angels in Red, one of the teams which participate in the annual Frankston Relay for Life event to raise money for cancer research, is holding a Ladies Pamper Night 7pm Saturday 23 August. Tickets are $10 each for entry to the Frankston Mechanics Hall where women can have a massage, tarot reading, reiki treatment and participate in a silent auction and games. For details and tickets call 0414 660 625.
Horse theft charge A WALLAN man has been charged with theft after allegedly stealing a horse from a property off Boneo Rd, Boneo at 8am on Saturday 9 August. The man was allegedly seen loading the animal onto a float behind a truck. He was intercepted by the highway patrol and local police on Peninsula Link at Baxter. Sergeant Chris Russo, of Rosebud police, said the man was taken back to the station and charged while the horse, valued at around $1000, was reunited with its owner. He said the man, 35, and the property owner were known to each other.
Correction THE article ‘Put Frankston first to last’ (The Times, 11/8/14) stated public transport advocate Ian Hundley, when addressing a Victoria First forum at Frankston Life Saving Club, said census figures showed 60,000 Frankston residents travel to Melbourne each workday and “a large proportion” would travel by train.’ In fact, Mr Hundley said 60,000 Frankston residents in total travel to work and 5.5 per cent travel to Melbourne each day. The 5.5 per cent statistic was omitted in error.

EXPLORING the theme of mental health, A Mad Tea Party is a vibrant, high-energy show that explores how easily our society labels and judges people who are different and asks the question: What does it really mean to be normal? Told through physical theatre, vaudeville, comedy, circus and dance presented in an Immersive Theatre environment, this adaption of Lewis Carrollʼs Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is fuelled by fantasy, dazzling performance, playful interaction and exploration. The audience wanders through a space populated with iconic characters that lead them on their own adventure. When the time is right, a tea party is called, allowing the audience to fall down the rabbit

100% of your fire levy goes to our fire services Last year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fire services, not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession. 100 per cent of the fire levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes firefighters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fire stations and 2,300 trucks. Each year, Victoria’s firefighters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and grass fires, fires in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fire levy.

Child care is of primary concern A NEW $3.44 million child and family centre was officially opened at Carrum Downs last week. The $3.44 million Banyan Fields Child and Family Centre, in the grounds of Banyan Fields Primary School, offers early years services for children and families. Frankston Council contributed about $2.15 million and the state government $1.3 million. Three registered kindergarten rooms able to accommodate up to 99 children, three consulting rooms for maternal child health services, professional paediatric services and a community meeting room form the centrepiece of the new centre. Early childhood intervention services for children with disabilities and developmental delay are also available at the centre. Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor, Children and Early Childhood Development Minister Wendy Lovell and Carrum MP Donna Bauer officially opened the centre last Monday (11 August). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work closely with the Victorian government to always improve our early years services such as maternal and child health, playgroups, parent support, early intervention and kindergartens,â&#x20AC;? Cr Taylor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This facility is a wonderful asset for our Carrum Downs families.â&#x20AC;? Mrs Bauer said basing childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services at primary schools made sense for families.

Sod turns on another ‘jewel in Frankston’s crown’ THE first sod was turned on the Frankston Park function centre last Thursday to mark the start of construction of the two-storey building which will have picturesque views of Port Phillip Bay. Minister for Sport and Recreation Damian Drum was joined by Frankston mayor Darrel Taylor and Frankston Dolphins acting president Brad Hill for the ceremony, with Cr Taylor describing the building as “another jewel in Frankston’s growing crown”. The centre – which will seat 370 people downstairs and 220 upstairs – is being funded by the State Government ($1.5 million), Frankston City Council ($1.14 million), AFL Victoria ($250,000), AFL ($250,000) and the Federal Government ($200,000). This money is being complemented by significant in-kind support from the Dolphins. “The construction of the Frankston Park Function Centre will not only provide a boost for the Frankston Dolphins and football in the region, but will also provide a much needed function centre for the community, and the ability for sustainable reinvestment into local facilities by the Dolphins,” Minister Drum said. The function centre will be councilowned and managed by the Frankston Dolphins as part of their Frankston Park lease agreement.
Digging in: Guests at the turning of the sod for the new function centre at Frankston Park include Michael Rapinett, of Four Square Construction, MP for Frankston Geoff Shaw, the mayor Darrel Taylor, the AFL’s Ricky Bell, Sports Minister Damien Drum, Dolphins acting president Brad Hill, and Crs James Dooley and Sandra Mayer.

them to continue to provide football pathway opportunities for the greater Frankston area.” Dunkley MP and Minister for Small Business Bruce Billson said: “For too long we have lacked a centre large enough to cater for big functions and events that are currently forced to leave our region to find suitable facilities. “The facility will complement the nearby Frankston Arts Centre and, potentially, open up the convention market for our city.” Dolphins acting president Brad Hill said extensive community use of the current social facility at Frankston Park made the new function centre a necessity: “In recent years the demand from local groups, such as schools, clubs, charities and businesses for the existing centre, has been so strong that, at times, we've had to turn groups away,” he said.

Location with a difference UNASSUMINGLY set in a quiet residential street, this astounding property has sat peacefully for some 30 to 40 years and quietly watched Mornington expand and build up around it. Purpose built for church use this mammoth property occupies a corner site measuring 2113 square metres across two titles and backs onto Morell Reserve. Such is its size, the main house occupies virtually one title, and the second is entirely landscaped with gardens. The home is comfortable with basic furnishings, however the kitchen has no doubt been updated. There are two enormous common rooms, one has a study alcove, and an equally spacious dining area adjoins the kitchen that receives plenty of natural light, has a good amount of storage space, and appliances include a dishwasher and walloven. Around the corner is a massive walk-in pantry. The accommodation wing consists of a staggering ten bedrooms – all with vanity unit and four full bathrooms with toilet, shower, bath and vanity. Further wet areas include two laundries and three powder rooms. Classed as a single-storey dwelling the opportunities that this landmark property offers (STCA) are many. In all likelihood the home will make way for two luxurious townhouses that can enjoy the close proximity to Shire Hall Beach and the trendiest cafes and bars, but for the creative entrepreneur with a vision to use the solid bones already here, this home could become one of Mornington’s most expansive and luxurious private residences surrounded by a delightful garden setting. The property is for sale by expressions of interest which close on 28 August.

The updated interior is highlighted by polished timber floors which continue on to a formal dining room which accesses a second timber deck at the rear. To one side of the dining area is a formal lounge that also opens out to the deck, and to the other, is a family room. Incorporated into this space is a stylish timber kitchen complete with wall-oven and a dishwasher, there is a charming casual meals alcove with a bay window, and a lounge area. The covered deck at the rear is an entertainer’s delight with mains gas plumbed in for a barbecue, and there is a great outlook to the solar heated in-ground swimming pool. For the growing family, there are four fantastic bedrooms; three have built-in robes and share the sparkling main bathroom, and the larger main bedroom has an ensuite and walk-in robe. There is one really special feature here that is sure to endear this home to many.

Budget repair levy kicks in AS part of the 2014-15 federal budget the government introduced a Temporary Budget Repair Levy. Individual taxpayers with a taxable income of more than $180,000 per year will have additional tax withheld by their employer, starting from 1 July 2014. The levy is payable at a rate of two per cent of each dollar of a taxpayer’s taxable income over $180,000. It will apply to both resident and non-resident individuals from 1 July 2014 and applies to the 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 income years.
In some cases the levy is payable even if you have a taxable income of $180,000 or less. For example, the unearned income of resident individuals under the age of 18 is subject to special rates and will include additional amount for the levy on income greater than $416. The tax tables have been updated so that employers can withhold the appropriate amount of tax and levy. The levy will cease to apply from 1 July 2017. Employers should use the ATO’s updated tax tables to calculate the tax to withhold from their employees’ pay.
Employers using accounting software should contact the software provider for payroll updates. If you are an individual taxpayer, the levy is calculated separate to your basic income tax liability. Most non-refundable tax offsets cannot be used to reduce your levy liability. Even if you have non-refundable tax offsets that exceed your basic income tax liability, you will still have to pay the levy. However, if you are entitled to the foreign income tax offset, it can be used to reduce your levy.

Challenging mission: Top left, an artillery crew mans the gun installation Fort Nepean in the early 1900s. Top and right, Southern Ocean Exploration divers probe the murky depths of Port Phillip. A replica of the shell fired across the bow of the Pfalz in 1914 made by Mount Eliza Secondary College students.
Quest for shell far from a Longshot Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au SHIPWRECK recovery experts are increasingly confident they will be able to locate the shell fired from a Fort Nepean artillery gun in 1914 marking the first shot of the British Empire in World War I thanks to the emergence of previously unknown details from the historic event. While the mission to locate the shell from the murky depths of Port Phillip has been dubbed Project Longshot in reference to the “needle-in-a-haystack” nature of the challenge, dive experts say more precise details from the day the shot was fired one hundred years ago has helped them narrow down the search area. Project Longshot team leader Mark Ryan, the founder of Australia’s most successful shipwreck discovery team, Southern Ocean Exploration, said the emergence of historical records and anecdotes from 1914 had enabled them to piece together an accurate picture of the precise direction and trajectory the shot was fired. And critically, it also emerged that the shell fired across the bow of the Pfalz was unique and therefore would be easy to identify among the hundreds of other shells believed to have been fired or dumped into the bay. However, he admitted the mission would still be challenging, especially given the tight timeframe they had set themselves, with the goal of recovering the shell before next year’s Anzac Day centenary commemorations. “It will be a difficult mission given the ferocity of the tides in this area and a century of constant dredging, not to mention that locating a six-inch
shell in Port Phillip Bay will be a needle-in-a- haystack job,” he said. “However, we have sourced specialist sonar equipment; a magnetometer that the US Navy is using in Pearl Harbour to locate unexploded ordinance from the Japanese attack in 1942. This equipment is capable of finding a .22 shell under six feet of sand.” Mr Ryan said the project was entirely self-funded, with the Southern Ocean Exploration team having spent thousands dollars from their own revenue to finance the mission, as well as providing all the resources needed for the search including divers, boats and researchers. Whitewater Documentaries journalist Terry Cantwell, who is filming the search effort for a documentary film, said the story of the first shot was a compelling and integral chapter in Australia’s history. He revealed research efforts were providing more and more fascinating details of the event, which were not only filling out the narrative but also helping refine the search itself. “This is one of the most exciting projects that we’ve undertaken to date – to document the discovery of the shot that announced WW1 to the world,” he said. “We have been amazed by the enormous community interest in this project; from ex-servicemen to school kids, it seems everyone wants this to happen.” He said Project Longshot had begun last September when he and Mr Ryan heard Ted Baillieu talking on breakfast radio about “how wonderful it would be to find the first shot of
World War I”. “Soon after this, we spoke to Mr Baillieu and he told us about some new documents that he had recently received, which cast new light on the events on Port Phillip Bay on August 5, 1914,” Mr Cantwell said. “He put us in touch with historian Keith Quinton, who had recently written the definitive account of the day Stop the Pfalz, a highly accurate and intensively researched work, which painstakingly examines the Pfalz’ movements, the gun position and the probably trajectory of the shell.” The information gave them more confidence in being able to find the shell, especially details of the precise nature of the shell.
“It was a heave-to shell - a warning shot – and wasn’t equipped with a charge, therefore it would not have exploded,” Mr Cantwell said. “Secondly the area where the shell was fired is not a common area where practice rounds were fired. Thirdly the shell will have distinct markings on its rifling band. “We will probably find plenty of shells – as many were dumped in the area after the closure of the South Channel Fort after World War II – but the one we are looking for will be quite distinct.” Support for the mission continues to grow, Mr Cantwell said, incluing from Mount Eliza Secondary College students and their families, who are
building replica shells for fund raising, running a social media campaign and helping with promotions. Other supporters include the The Ranelagh Club, AquaPower Marine (Volvo-Penta) in Seaford, which has donated a new Whittley S22 boat to use in the search, Black Dog Enterprises, IANTD Australia, Shearwater Research, Val Morgan Cinema Networks and “many other individuals and community groups”. “People would really like this to happen,” Mr Cantwell said. “After all of this work, we may not find the shell - hence the name Longshot - but we feel it is worth the effort to find what is arguably one of Australia’s most significant historical artefacts.”

HEARING AWARENESS WEEK ADVERTISING FEATURE
Tiny aid hears but not seen THERE is absolutely no reason why anyone should put up with the social disability of hearing loss. The newest digital hearing aids have hi-fi quality sound, are comfortable and virtually invisible. But just how small and hidden can they be? The answer depends on a number of factors, such as the size of the ear canal, the severity of the loss, the size of the components and the expertise of the professional evaluating, prescribing ad fitting the hearing aid. The smallest hearing aids sit deep in the ear canal, close to the ear drum, and usually cannot be seen when fully inserted. Hidden Hearing specialises in deep canal fittings. Alastair Bacon, Hidden Hearing’s senior clinician, has been fitting hearing aids since 1984.
According to Alastair, “Thanks to the miniaturisation of components and advances in the manufacturing process we are now able to fit hearing aids that are truly invisible when inserted.” After undertaking a comprehensive hearing assessment, an accurate impression is taken of the ear canal using a special silicon compound. The impression is then scanned using a 3D optical scanner. At the laboratory a 3D printer using laser beams produces a precise identical copy. This becomes the shell of the hearing aid. As for the technology, all deep canal aids fitted by Hidden Hearing are digital and fully automatic, so it’s a simple of matter of inserting and forgetting. To make an appointment with Hidden Hearing for a free consultation call 1800 717 717.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
‘Off to the war’ footballer honored Compiled by Cameron McCullough SIR William H. Irvine will address the electors at Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Tuesday next, at 8 o’clock. *** IN our advertising columns Mr R. J. Hoskings announces that he has opened a cycle shop at Somerville, and has new and secondhand bicycles for sale, also all accessories. *** MR J. K. McDougall will hold a meeting in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock, when he will address the electors. *** MR W. Schultz returned home on Monday, after undergoing an operation in Melbourne. We are pleased to report that he is progressing favorably. *** MESSERS Brody and Mason will hold a clearing sale today of choice poultry, farm implements and household furniture, by order of Mr A. E. Kelly, of Frankston, who is leaving for the war at once. *** WE regret to learn that the Rev. R. Jackson has again had an attack of illness, and is confined to his room. We trust to hear of his speedy recovery. *** DR Fogarty, of Chelsea, announces that he will visit Frankston every Thursday afternoon, and may be consulted by appointment at “Tally Ho”, Melbourne Road. *** A dance in aid of the permanent endowment of the Frankston girls cot
will be held this (Saturday) evening. Any balance will be given to help pay the expenses of a Frankston child while in the Infectious Diseases Hospital. Good music will be supplied, and refreshments will be provided. *** THE following residents of Frankston and district having passed all preliminaries, proceeded to the camp at Broadmeadows today, where they will remain till embarking for the war: Messrs B. Roberts, H. Covington, F. Smith, A. Gerschwitz, A. Verney, A. Hook, A G Young, C. Bunney, G. Vagg, L. T. Malcolm, J. Cuthbert, R. Bates (Mornington), and A. E Kelly. *** THE secretary of the Frankston football club desires to acknowledge the following donations, and would be pleased to receive any that have been promised :- Mr W. B. Cunningham 10s, Mr S. Sherlock 5s, Mr C. Dalman 5s, Mrs Hay 5s, Mr Kelly 3s, Mr H. Allen 10s 6d. The secretary would also be pleased to receive any accounts due to the club, and the future address will be care of Mr E. Worrall. *** DURING the past few days two of the poultry farmers in the vicinity of Kars Street have suffered from the inroad of thieves, who have been bold enough to enter the fowl houses in the course of the afternoon and gather all the eggs they could lay their hands on. Probably some boys more in a spirit of bravado are the culprits. If so it is to be hoped they will at once turn their talents to a better account, otherwise
they will find themselves under lock and key, as the police are keeping a careful eye on that neighborhood. *** IT will be seen by an advertisement in another column that a meeting of the committee of men of the Frankston Patriotic Movement will be held at the Mechanics’ Institute on Monday next at 8 p.m. The committee has power to add and all interested whether members or not are invited to attend. It is to be hoped that there will be a full attendance. To illustrate what can be done it is of interest to announce that the treasurer of the Frankston Patriotic Fund has received the sum of 11s 2d, made up chiefly of very small amounts, and collected by the boys of the Boys’ Home, Frankston. *** WANTED - Lad to learn blacksmithing trade. A good chance to learn. A. W. Twyford and Son, Coachbuilders, Somerville. *** FRANKSTON ladies have been busily engaged this week in making material up for the comfort of the soldiers in Europe. The attendances at the Mechanics’ hall has been good, and great enthusiasm is being shown. The response to Dr. Maxwell’s invitation to instruct First aid classes once a week met with such a hearty response that too many names were given in for one class, and two have now been formed. *** MEMBERS of the Frankston rifle club had their first drill on Monday, when
they were put through their paces by Mr. S. Corlett. Several Frankston young men have volunteered for active service. Some are already in camp at Broadmeadows while other are expecting “marching orders” daily. *** OFF TO THE WAR. FRANKSTON FOOTBALLER HONORED. At the Prince of Wales Hotel on Tuesday evening, a presentation was made to Mr George Vagg, who has received orders to join the expeditionary force recently formed. Owing to the very short notice, the arrangements had to be made very hurriedly, consequently there was not a large attendance. Apologies for inability to be present were received from Dr Maxwell, and Messrs T. Ritchie and S. Lawrey. Mr W. Oates presided, and, in making the presentation, spoke in glowing term of the departing guest as a sport and a man. He said that every one had been pleased to meet Mr Vagg. He had not played football to see what he could get out of the club - his services were purely voluntary. He had watched him play football, and had never seen him do a cowardly action. They all felt great regret at losing Mr Vagg, but when one thought of their position, they could not help but think that the Australian boys were right in offering to serve their country. While regretting the necessity for Mr Vagg to go, he felt sure that he would uphold the dignity if Australia and Frankston,
and would do justice to whatever he took in hand. The supporters of the football club and his Frankston friends felt that they could not let “Vaggio’’ go without something to show their regard for him and he had much pleasure in handing him the tokens of esteem and goodwill everyone felt. Messrs Harley, Hartland, Willox, Smith, Verney, Worrall, Young and Gerschwitz also added their quota of praise and appreciation of the manly qualites of the departing guest. Mr Vagg, who was much affected, said that he had done what he could for the club because of his respect and admiration not only for the players, but the men behind them. He felt they we e under a great obligation to the Empire, and he felt that he should go and do what he could to help. He thanked them for their gift, and for the kind sentiments expressed, and hoped that he would soon be back to see every one again. “For he’s a jolly good fellow” was most heartily sung, and three cheers given for the departing guest. The presentation consisted of a gold medal, and a smoker’s outfit in case. The medal was inscribed ‘To George Vagg, from his Frankston friends, as a token of esteem, 18/8/14.” Mr A. Verney contributed harmony during the evening. Mr Vagg proceeded to the camp at Broadmeadows on Wednesday. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 August 1914.

The finer points of time travel By Stuart McCullough AT first, I couldn’t be sure. Soon enough, it was a conclusion I could not escape – the clock on the computer at work was losing time. Seven minutes per day to be precise. This may sound like a lot of not very much – after all, what can you really do with seven minutes anyway? Turn up on time, for starters. Catch the right train. When you think about it, dislocating yourself by seven minutes in each twenty-four hour period can really catch you off guard. Worse still, the effect was cumulative. Today it’s seven minutes. Tomorrow it’s fourteen. As I write this, I am not in the here and now but am stranded twenty-eight minutes ago. Spooky, isn’t it? Before you write in, let me be clear and say that I know how to fix the clock – all I have to do is ‘click’ in the right corner and adjust the time manually. And given that this is a simple and mostly painless procedure, you probably think I should stop harassing the IT guy at unsociable hours and rectify the whole clock schmozzle myself… That’s where you’re dead wrong. As unusual as it is for me to try and fix anything that could easily be fixed by others, on this occasion I’d given it a red-hot go. But despite returning the clock to the correct time, I would find those seven minutes would vanish again soon after. Where could they possibly be going? If I peel away the couch cushions, will I find my missing minutes hiding there? Are they escaping
one at a time or is it an exodus more in the manner of a mass-breakout? I suspect they wait until they know I’m away from my desk before making their big move. There were more question than answers but, lucky for me, I had enough time to get to the bottom of things. I’m not ashamed to say that I’m quite the science buff. By ‘science buff’, I mean that I own a copy of Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History
of Time and have even read the blurb on the back. Also, over the full period of my life, I have watched several minutes of The Curiosity Show, just not all at once and purely by accident when flicking between stations. So, as a scientist, I know for a fact that time travel is simply hokum conjured up by a bunch of Hollywood types. That is, of course, unless you can get your hands on a flux capacitor and a DeLorean. Sadly, we only have a
Ford Focus at present. Even if I could get it up to eighty eight miles per hour, a Ford Focus isn’t the kind of thing you’d want to be seen driving back through time in. But despite my lack of a flux capacitor, I had unwittingly unlocked the secret of time travel. I’ve done some calculations. If I keep this up, by next Thursday, I’ll be back in last week. By Christmas I’ll be in March 2002. Come the end of financial year, I’ll be in third-year Uni. Before you can say ‘grunge’, you should expect to see me wearing acid wash jeans and a pair of Blundstone boots. I won’t sugarcoat it – this is going to get ugly, and not just sartorially. Life was hard enough going forwards. It can only be more complex in reverse. There are some people who lament getting older. Not me. Frankly, I couldn’t stand being younger and much like a bad cold, was delighted when I finally shook it off. Like the weakest link in a compulsory team lap around the oval, my clock is now starting to fall behind and dragging me along with it. So far, the changes have been negligible – incapable of detection to the naked eye. But I fear all that is about to be unleashed. Soon, the years will start to fall away and I’ll be getting younger instead of older, just like Brad Pitt in that movie – Fight Club... But what if I start losing more than just seven minutes a day? What if the clock starts to gain some momentum? Before I know it, I might find myself heading backwards in time at a great
rate of knots. All of which leads to the big question – why is this happening? The way I see it, there are two possible explanations regarding my missing minutes. It could be a minor technical hitch. Presumably, the ‘server’ will be to blame. Truth be told, I don’t believe that the ‘server’ exists. Like the Loch Ness Monster, Big Foot or Winston Churchill, I think the ‘sever’ is just a figment of somebody’s rather over-active imagination. Just like the Boogie Man or J. Edgar Hoover, such things do not exist in real life. Believing in ‘the server’ is, I feel, pretty much akin to claiming that the world is flat. Not very scientific at all. But perhaps I should stop fearing time travel and embrace it. After all, how many people ever really get a second chance? As I lurch backwards through time, this is my opportunity to set things straight. To do things a little better. To, where necessary, make amends. To correct just a few of the mistakes that have my marked my journey from ‘there’ to ‘here’. To finally get things right…. …They’re back. Without warning and without explanation, the seven minutes have returned to the clock. Perhaps it’s for the best. Maybe the past should be left precisely where it is. Time travel may be glorious in theory but, when all’s said and done, we are driven to move forward. Whether that’s in a DeLorean or a Ford Focus is hardly the point. The server, should it exist, would doubtless agree. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Finals places still up for grabs NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt THE make-up of the Nepean League top five will not be determined until 4.30pm this Saturday after both Rosebud and Rye won their matches on Saturday. Going into the final round, Rye holds down fifth place on the ladder, a game clear of Rosebud. In the final home and away round this weekend, Rye faces Sorrento, while Rosebud tackles Devon Meadows. A betting man would say that the Buds have the easier challenge of the two. If the results go as expected, Rye and Rosebud will be equal on points at the conclusion of Round 18. As it stands, Rosebud has a superior percentage over Rye and would grab a spot in the Elimination Final. It’s hard not to get excited about what is about to unfold. The match of the round on Saturday in Nepean League, however, was that between Red Hill and Crib Point. What a fascinating game it was. Red Hill dominated the first 10 minutes of the game but couldn’t put scoreboard pressure on the opposition. For the remainder of the first term and all of the second, the Magpies took charge. At half time, the visitors led by 20 points. The Pies had the first scoring shot of the third quarter, which was a point. That would be the last time for the match that the Magpies would score. Red Hill booted 13.9 to 0.1 in the second half to run out comfortable winners 16.21 (117) to 8.3 (51). Jarryd Douglas booted three goals for the winners while Harry Larwill and Jake Mitchell were dominant. Luke Herrington starred or the Pies with three goals while James Cook and Waide Symes were also very good.
Crib Point coach Duane Annable rested Jon Flack, Glenn Boyd and Herrington for much of the last quarter. Dean Warry was rested for the match. Red Hill had both Luke Adams and Blake McCormack star in the reserves in their first game back, while Jake Mold is ready to resume. Hillmen coach Tony Blackford said when the game looked lost for the Pies, the opposition coach Duane Annable pulled-up stumps. “It must be hard for Crib Point to get themselves up. They were two games clear on top and really don’t have a lot to play for,” Blackford said. “Annas (Annable) did exactly what I would have done in the same situation. It’s about preservation for them now. They were outstanding for 40 minutes and really had us covered. “We are still fighting for a place in the top three and we need to do everything right. “It’s another tough challenge this week against Dromana but if we win, the win today against Crib helps us achieve the double chance,” Blackford said. The other pressure cooker game on Saturday was that between Rye and Somerville. The Eagles would have enjoyed nothing more than to end Rye’s season. They using close but not close enough, going down 13.23 (101) to 14.7 (91). Only three points separated the sides at three quarter time after Somerville led by a goal at half time. However, Rye squandered opportunities, especially in the first half. The home side had 20 to 11 in the first hour of the game. Rye coach Ben Holmes with five goals and skipper Rhett Dutton were the players who stood up when the game needed to be won. Jedd Sutton, along with Justin and Todd Farrelly were the best of the Eagles.
Steven Gaertner booted 12 goals for Dromana in their 29.23 (197) to 11.11 (77) win against Pearcedale. Jai Williams also made it two sensational performances for the Tigers in as many weeks with four goals playing across half forward while a further nine players contributed on the scoreboard. Dean Jannson and Basil Sibasado were amongst the best for the Dales. Hastings booted 12 goals to three in the second half to thrash Devon Meadows 20.15 (135) to 8.16 (64). Luke Hewitt and Dylan Hand were outstanding for the Blues with five goals each and Steve Robb kicked four majors while Steve Charalambous was one of the best players on the ground. ‘Charra’s’ second half of the season has been outstanding and let’s hope the rumour of him retiring after this season are not true. Alex Doria was fantastic for Devon, Lukey Duhig played his best game of senior footy and Craig Thorne was also consistent across four quarters. Myles Pitt made his return to senior footy with four goals in Sorrento’s 15.19 (109) to 5.5 (35) win over Frankston Bombers. It was Pitt’s second game of footy for the season after returning from overseas a few weeks ago. James Hallahan was superb with three majors while Tyrren Head was also at his best. Hallahan would be a good bet for the league medal this year. Matt Harris, Jay Reynolds and Jason Kingsbury were the best of the Bombers. In the final game of round, Rosebud booted 25.20 (170) to beat Tyabb 4.3 (27). Tom Baker booted seven goals in a best on ground performance while Lachy Armstrong and Ryan Spooner had the ball on a string. Best for the Yabbies were Steve Hemley and Chris Samways.

It’s the finals countdown PENINSULA LEAGUE
By Toe Punt DESPITE 17 rounds of Peninsula League football so far this season, we have to wait for the final home and away game of the year to be sure of the shape of the top bracket. A month ago, looking at the draw, it appeared Mt Eliza was odds-on to play finals footy and finish in fifth spot. Their challenger was Langwarrin. However, the Kangas had a tougher draw than the Redlegs, finishing the season with games against three top four sides in the final four games. They say a week is a long time in footy. The past three weeks has been intriguing. Langwarrin did the unthinkable last week and kept their chances alive with a win against the reigning premiers at Edithvale. A week later, Mt Eliza cops an unlikely loss to Seaford, meaning that this weekend’s games will determine who plays finals. Neither club has an easy contest in their deciders. Langwarrin has to travel to Jubilee Park to face the toughest test in
Peninsula League - Frankston YCW. Mt Eliza has an equally tough assignment, having to play Edithvale at the Eagles’ nest. There is currently 11 per cent between Langwarrin (121) and Mt Eliza (110) also. The Kangas can’t afford to get blown away by the best side in the competition. Fifth place isn’t the only contest, however. Frankston YCW has a two game buffer on top, but the real interest is the race for a double chance position between Bonbeach, Edithvale and Mornington. The Sharks are in the box seat with a great percentage. The real battle comes down to that between Mornington and Edithvale. One of those sides will have to play in an Elimination Final in a fortnight. So, the final round is going to be fascinating. Mornington regained its mojo after having their pants pulled down by the Stonecats the previous week. Playing Langwarrin at Langwarrin, the Doggies needed to bounce back and prove that the previous week’s
performance was nothing more than a blip in what has been a pretty good season. The Doggies led at every change with coach Stuart Seagar leading the charge with two goals in a near best on ground performance. Barry Smeeton and Paul Dadds were also significant in the victory. Seagar said that his team needed to get their hands on the footy first if they were to win the game against the Kangaroos. “We were smashed in contested footy against YCW and our work rate was very poor,” Seagar said. “Our skills let us down too and in today’s footy, you get punished if you turn the footy over. “When our work rate is up, we’re first in for the footy, stick our tackles and put pressure on the ball carrier, we play good footy.” Mornington’s third quarter was outstanding. Leading by just 10 points at half time, the Dogs booted five goals to one in the third term to open up a match winning 37 point break. The visitors went on to win 9.14 (68) to 6.6 (42).
Michael Parker, Jarryd Amalfi and Sean Herdman were the best of the Kangas. Seaford came from 17 points down at three quarter time to cause one of the boilovers of the season against Mt Eliza. Against the odds, playing away from home and with not a lot to play for, the Tigers booted 5.8 to 1.2 in the final quarter to win comfortably against the Redlegs, 9.17 (71) to 8.10 (58). Jack Haidon was superb once again for the winners while Tom Shaw, Aaron Walton, Ben Crowe and Josh Stokes showed their leadership when it mattered most. Ben Lean was amongst Mt Eliza’s best with two goals while James Anwyl and Matt Ditchfield in his fourth senior game were also amongst the Redlegs’ best. It’s been a frustrating season for the Mounties. Edithvale-Aspendale got its season back on track with a hard fought victory against Pines. Jarrod Garth booted five goals and Brad Tagg three while Stevey Mannix, Zac Muschialli and Brad Gilder
dominated for the Eagles. Beau and Guy Hendry were the best of the Pythons, along with Dean Scerri. Bonbeach had 14 goal kickers in its 26.20 (176) to 5.6 (36) victory against Karingal. Ricky Ferraro was the best player on the ground with five goals, while Cal McQueen finished with four majors. Once again, Jackson Casey and Justin Norton were in the best players on the field. George Angelopolous and Tom Wilkinson were Karingal’s best yet again. In the final game, Frankston YCW led by 43 points at quarter time and finished winning the game against Chelsea 17.15 (117) to 6.11 (47). Dave Bodley finished with seven goals while Billy Rolfe and Kevin Lylak were the leading players on the ground. Todd Gardiner and Jayden Attard were Chelsea’s best. Chelsea coach Paul Howroyd resigned from the club on Saturday morning. This means Chelsea will be looking for its fourth coach in four seasons.
