Train delays, cancellations frustration

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FRUSTRATED Frankton line commuters are facing ten peak time train cancellations on average per week according to information requested from Metro Trains. March seemed to be a particularly bad month for cancellations and delays along the Frankston line with commuters taking to online social media to express their anger at being left high and dry at train stations during peak times. Metro advised The Times that 81 train services were cancelled during March and 42 of those cancellations were during peak periods. Reasons for cancelled services included vandalism, infrastructure faults, a fatality, trespassers on lines, police requests and anti-social behaviour. Metro spokeswoman Pauline O’Connor said “it is important to note that incidents on other lines can also affect Frankston line services”. “Services on Werribee and Williamstown lines regularly become Frankston-bound services once they reach the city, meaning incidents on these lines can impact Frankston services, due to trains and drivers being out of position,” she said. There were 6,333 scheduled services on the Frankston line during the month of March. Late last month The Age reported Metro sometimes stopped train services before they reach their final destination in an alleged effort to meet state government targets.

The train operator is paid bonuses by the government if performance targets are met. Figures leaked to The Age suggested “short arrivals” – whereby trains stop short of their destination – and “short departures” – when train services begin partway along a line – are not counted as “cancelled” services to meet performance targets. Ms O’Connor said there were 239 “planned short arrivals” along the Frankston line in March due to planned project works and these services ran late at night or on weekends, with prior notice beforehand. There were 52 “unplanned short arrivals” and nine of those occurred in peak time. Three out of 19 “unplanned short departures” took place during peak periods. Commuter frustration at cancelled and delayed train services along the Frankston line has long been a headache for both major political parties with the seats of Frankston, Carrum, Mordialloc and Bentleigh swinging from Liberal to Labor and back again amid discontent at public transport.

Governments won’t save homes at sea rise risk Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au GOVERNMENTS will not protect houses affected by rising seas, says peninsula foreshore committee member David Gill. Mr Gill spoke to The News after attending the 2015 Australian Coastal Councils Conference at the RACV resort in Cape Schanck mid-March, which was hosted by Mornington Peninsula Shire and Frankston Council. The conference was convened by the National Sea Change Taskforce and brought together scientists, academics, disaster planners, engineers, economists, policymakers and other specialists as well as observers. Speakers came from the CSIRO, universities, business groups, research forums, planning authorities and local governments from around Australia. Local speakers included Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb, Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer, Mornington Peninsula tourism board’s Tracey Cooper, shire coastal planner Virginia Brook, shire Abo riginal cultural heritage officer Adam Magennis, Frankston Council coast erosion planner Jeska Dee, and leisure planner Simone Bonella. Mr Gill said Victoria’s Coastal Strategy Plan made it plain “governments will not be able or willing to protect private assets, including houses, so we need a Future Fund-type source of money” to deal with coming challenges. He said authorities were “planning for the effects of climate change including an eight-metre sea level rise by 2100 as well as a drastic increase in fire risk in populated areas”.

Watery world: The state government’s environment department spread 15,000 cubic metres of sand on Frankston beach in November 2013 after it had been removed by storms. By early January 2014 the sea had taken almost half. Picture: Gary Sissons

“Coastal areas are experiencing booming population growth. For example, in 1956 there were 20,000 people on the Mornington Peninsula. By 2011 there were 150,000. This is happening around Australia in coastal areas resulting in enormous pressure on infrastructure and habitat. “We need a fund to cope with storm events, severe erosion, beach renourishment, habitat maintenance and scientific data collection – to enable a database for dollar value assessment of priorities instead of ad hoc, wasteful and inequitable spending of limited resources. “For every dollar appropriately spent, a saving of three dollars is possible – instead of fixing problems after they develop.” Mr Gill, president of Balnarring Beach Community Association and a former member of foreshore committees in

Hastings and Somers, said Balnarring Beach’s foreshore committee had an annual budget of $400,000 from camping fees but “our equally deserving neighbour Somers has virtually no income because camping reserves are on the other side of the boundary”. He said coastal management in Victoria was unnecessarily complex. “The state’s coastline has 30 main authorities and 200 local committees of management. The peninsula has 192km of coast or about 10 per cent of Victoria’s total. Frankston has 11km. “The shire has 64km of coast under its control with 10 coastal reserves and nine committees of management. It punches way above its weight in protecting the coastline. The rest is ‘controlled’ by Parks Victoria and the state environment department.” Mr Gill said 96 per cent of Victoria’s

coast was in public hands. “I have been involved, like many others, in public committees of management and witnessed: n The hands-on work and long hours of volunteers. n Inappropriate political appointments to committees of management. n Ignorance of connective ecosystems. n Inadequate planning frameworks and policy fragmentation. n Lack of and inequitable distribution of resources resulting in a failure to protect our coastal asset. n Fire risk acerbated by climate change and seen by CSIRO scientists as threatening higher population areas in the future. “The lessons of the recent fire in highly populated Hastings, which affected Crib Point with its ‘one road in one road out’ layout, displayed the need for a rethink of ‘leave early’ warnings when a fire starts nearby and residents leave by car, only to find they are still in fire danger due to traffic congestion. “Recent surveys that were discussed at the conference have defined what Victorians want from our beach areas: n Passive, relaxed activities with family. n No big developments. n Retention of coastal vegetation and coastal village character. “Victorians respect and enjoy living near and visiting our coast. Let’s make sure this continues.” He said keynote speaker Lisa Neville, Victoria’s Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water, called for better funding and coordination through a new Marine Coastal Act “after a period of apathy and severe cutbacks by state and federal governments”.

Train station design contest ‘a winner’

Design ideas: Cr Glenn Aitken proposes a national contest for train station design. Picture: Gary Sissons

INTEREST is building in the $50 million revamp of Frankston train station even if construction has not yet begun. Frankston residents had their say at a public forum last Wednesday evening at the Frankston Arts Centre. The forum was hosted by Frankston Council ahead of its submission to the state government’s Frankston Station Precinct Taskforce, headed by Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke. Members of the public at the meeting hoped the redevelopment of the station and its surrounds will lift Frankston’s reputation and discourage anti-social behaviour around the station. Mr Edbrooke is certainly not short of suggested ideas for the station re-

vamp during the consultation process and a proposal out of left field could ignite interest in the project beyond Frankston. Councillor Glenn Aitken has urged the first-term Labor MP to seek design ideas via a nationwide competition. There is a precedent for Frankston hosting a contest for architects to pitch designs. The Seaford Life Saving Club building design was commissioned after an open national competition held in 2005. Architect Robert Simeoni Pty Ltd won the contract and the firm’s work on the project won architecture awards. Cr Aitken believes the Frankston community would welcome the prospect of a national competition to design the station since this would also

focus attention on Frankston for a positive reason. “It would create quite a bit of excitement locally with the prospect of designs coming in from across the country,” he said. “People could look at the designs and choose the best amongst them.” Mr Edbrooke, who is heading the state government’s Frankston Station Precinct Taskforce, said community consultation on the station revamp is still underway and he is keen to see work begin. “The suggestion to use a national design competition to produce a plan is one of many creative ideas being considered by the taskforce,” he said.

Open air burns law changes THE fire danger period has ended, but changes to local laws govern open open-air burn offs. An amendment to the law allows those with properties of 1600 square metres or more to apply for a burnoff permit. While permits will be more accessible, they will still contain certain conditions, such as the size of the fire, weather conditions and stipulate that burning is restricted to Fridays and Saturdays 9am-4pm. A new rule enables officers to take action against nuisance burning, and a new provision covers the illegal burning of toxic material in an indoor fireplace - only dry, untreated green waste is permitted to be burned off. Frankston Council encourages anyone burning off to notify neighbours in advance. The rule change did not affect barbecues, so long as untreated green waste is used and smoke nuisance for neighbours is avoided. Residents can apply for burn-off permits at frankston.vic.gov.au or call 1300 322 322.

Mum’s the word THE rainy start to the day didn’t dampen the spirits of bowlers in the Mercedes Invitational Fours at Mt Eliza on Saturday 28 March … nor the form of winning bowlers Alan Worthington, Geoff Hooper, Jim Howey and Trevor Harrop, of Hastings. They received the Mercedes Benz prize from Mark Seltin, of Mercedes Benz. Second prize went to Mornington Civic and third prize to Karingal. Bowlers came from Bacchus Marsh, Berwick, Brighton, Edithvale, Frankston, Hastings, Karingal, Mornington, Mt Martha, Rye, Ringwood and Seaford for the event. Master of Ceremonies Phil Crowder and Hocking Stuart Mornington’s Brett Trebilcock ran an auction of gifts donated by sponsors. Making club history was the first phone bidder for one of the prizes donated by Mercedes Benz Mornington: a Sandown Racetrack Experience. The identity of the bidder was revealed when the auctioneer said: “Yes mum, the day’s going well; yes I’m fine thanks’ much to the amusement of the crowd. Mrs Crowder was successful in her bid, but Phil Crowder was not so delighted to hear it was a gift for his brother.

Saints may march out Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ST KILDA Football Club could be on its way back to Moorabbin. Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill confirmed council has had “a couple of discussions with them [St Kilda]” when asked by The Times. The Saints quit Moorabbin in 2007 amid a disagreement with Kingston Council over the redevelopment of the Linton St facilities. The club had wanted to move 80 poker machines from Linton St to South Rd premises. St Kilda subsequently agreed to base its training headquarters at Seaford’s Belvedere Park after Frankston Council agreed to make a financial contribution to the Seaford sporting precinct. Kingston Council pushed ahead with an $11 million upgrade of the Moorabbin oval as a community facility to include local sports teams although St Kilda remains a tenant at Linton St. “St Kilda still have the best part of a 30-year lease on Linton St and to some extent as a tenant there they’re free to do whatever they want,” Cr Gledhill said. The mayor said council’s main focus was on ensuring the Moorabbin redevelopment, yet to be formalised, will proceed with or without St Kilda’s increased involvement but the door is not closed on the Saint’s return. The project is being funded by council, the AFL and the state government. “We’ll talk to anyone who’s going to be involved in something that’s going

to deliver a better outcome for Kingston and its residents, teams and community group,” Cr Gledhill said. “This community facility is going ahead. If you can add to it and make life even better for these junior teams in the Southern Football League we will listen to you.” St Kilda released a statement on Tuesday advising the club would announce it the next few months “if a refurbished Moorabbin or Junction Oval will house their main base”. Saints CEO Matt Finnis flagged a return to greater community engagement in Kingston after trying to become “the

AFL club of the south east” with its move to Seaford. “We want Moorabbin to be a vibrant place that can grow with the reinvigoration of that broader precinct from the Moorabbin junction from the train station right down to the development of the hospital nearby,” he said. “There’s opportunities for us to grow with the community in that area.” Frankston Council pumped $4 million into the deal which saw St Kilda move its training base to Seaford. Frankston Council declined to comment “at this stage” when contacted by The Times.

On the ball: Mornington Peninsula Hockey Club raised money for the McGrath Foundation at the Peninsula Hockey Centre in Frankston last week.

Pink touch aids cancer fight PINK was the theme for a fun day at Peninsula Hockey Centre, Frankston, last week on a day of fine weather, quality hockey, entertainment, food and plenty of laughs. The occasion was a Pink Sticks Day to aid the McGrath Foundation hosted by the women’s section of Mornington Peninsula Hockey Club. The Falcons women’s team - assisted by the men’s section which got into the ‘touch of pink’ theme – played Bayside Cougars and Sandringham with help from the Peninsula Women’s Hockey Association. The McGrath Foundation, and the work it does placing McGrath breast care nurses into local communities, is close to the hearts of those who participated. Many have experienced the effect of breast cancer on families. The day’s fundraising target was $1000, however, with more than 100 people all dressed in a ‘touch of pink’, as

well as egg and spoon races, balloon walk races, potato sack races, raffles, face painting and donations all day, the amount raised was almost $1500. “It was a day of support, laughter and friendship and, together, we were able to raise a fabulous amount of money for the McGrath Foundation,” women’s co-ordinator Michelle Robertson said. “We couldn’t have done it without the support of our sponsors and supporters who donated prizes and food, helped set up and clean up afterwards. Also, we thank the visiting teams who really got into the spirit of the day and helped make it one to remember.” Pink Sticks Day is now an annual event on the club’s calendar.

LETTERS Labor refreshing Although not a member of any political party, I was bemused by Colin Hampton’s broadside at the Labor Party, of which he is a long-standing member (“Cap plan cops friendly fire attack”, The Times, 23/3/15). Cr Hampton seems willing to increase Frankston Council rates beyond the cap proposed by the Andrews government, but there’s absolutely no enthusiasm from him for the benefit the cap would bring to long-suffering ratepayers. He seems to prefer, as Labor often does, to throw money at problems rather than seek ways to work smarter to solve them. It’s so refreshing to see a Labor government actually looking to solve problems by some means other than just throwing more and more money at them. Michael Long, Frankston

Politicians should act On my computer screen this week were two disturbing items, both related. First, an appeal for support from the Wangan and Jagalincou people; our true Australians. The Adani Company of India wants to purchase their ancestral lands. Land means so much more to indigenous people than money. The earth, rocks, mountains, plains, plants, animals, rivers and waterholes mean life, both past and future. Two politicians who could be most supportive, namely the Prime Minister [Tony Abbott] who said he has made the indigenous people’s welfare his special interest and challenge, and the Minister for the Environment [Flinders MP Greg Hunt]. The PM appears to be noticeably silent on the matter, while Mr Hunt is openly backing Adani in its bid to produce the world’s largest dirty black hole and shipping its contents over our precious Great Barrier Reef. Both politicians are, along with many others from their party, refusing to increase Australia’s commitment to the renewable energy target more than a few percentage points. Australia has a wonderful opportunity to develop renewable energy with wind, solar and water power. Our environment minister should

lead the way, yet he appears to only want to help those who want to pollute our atmosphere. There would be a huge outcry if our health minister openly encouraged the spread of flu or other diseases. One can only wonder what hold Adani might have on our politicians. Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Emissions omission If you have a look at the website of [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt it appears he has overcome a nasty little problem for us. A newspaper article from the Sydney Morning Herald on his website tells us that Australia will achieve the proposed five per cent reductions in emissions by 2020. If you read the article (and I don’t think Greg did) it states that due to several factors such as the uptake in home solar, a decrease then in coal burning from power station, a decrease in manufacturing (mainly due to the GFC) and other environmental and economic factors, our emissions have decreased. The article also clearly states that our federal government’s current policies have played no part in these reductions. Yet if you look at comments on Mr Hunt’s Facebook page and his twitter account (yes, a grown man who tweets) he claims it’s all his doing and how wonderfully well off we will be in the future under his stewardship of the environment. Imagine how disappointing it was to read in The Age (29/3/15) that it seems his department has been “fudging” the figures on emissions to achieve a better-looking result. Greg should stick to what he does best, cutting ribbons and getting his picture in the local paper rather than being responsible for our environmental future. Stephen Hough, Dromana

it in at last light. Do not leave it hanging out all night and day on the flagpole until it is only a tattered blue bit of rag. If you love our flag, then look after it and respect it. John Cain, McCrae

Unworthy to speak Under the present Australian government, we should keep our heads down on the international stage, because our record on many humanitarian and environmental issues makes us a laughing stock internationally. Our willingness to go to war at the say so of America puts us in a very bad light. Maybe if we start by treating our Aboriginal brothers and sisters with some dignity we could speak with some authority on the world stage. But will I live long enough to see some of these issues addressed with decency, instead of political spin, by either side of the old political parties? Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Bus welcomed I would like to thank residents of Frankston, Rosebud, Hastings, Red Hill and surrounding areas who welcomed the beyondblue national roadshow team on its recent visit. It was great to meet so many people who told

us that they, or someone they know, have bene fited from the work beyondblue has done over the past 15 years. The many insightful conversations we had about mental health confirmed there is still a great need for beyondblue to continue raising awareness, reducing stigma, providing information and support to people with depression and anxiety, and their families, and tackling suicide. Our big blue bus will continue its travels until the end of May, encouraging people to make a pledge and tune in to their mental health, open up about common problems like depression and anxiety, take action to get support if needed, and join us by supporting beyondblue’s work. If you, or someone you know, is having a tough time and you need to talk to someone, please contact the trained mental health professionals at our confidential support service 24/7 on 1300 22 4636 or chat online (3pm-midnight) or email www.beyondblue.org.au/getsupport We want to thank you for your encouragement and we proudly give you our commitment to continue working to assist people with depression and anxiety and their families – wherever they live in Australia. Georgie Harman, CEO beyondblue, Hawthorn West

RYE EASTER CARNIVAL

Abracadabra

MAGICIAN Terry McSweeney had all the children’s attention as he twisted the rope this way and that, then the other way – and, hey presto – bob’s your uncle… It was all part of the fun at Party in the Park, Cruden Farm, Langwarrin, on Wednesday. One of Frankston City’s favourite family days it offered face painting, craft, book making, animal farm, a ‘wildlife experience’, stage performances by The Kazoos, and a come-and-try bike track for 2-6 year olds.

The signs they are a-changing THE signs are everywhere. Honour boards and plaques are on sports clubrooms’ walls, in hospitals and on school walls. Chances are Seaford engraver Barry Rea had a hand in a sign’s upkeep. The 47-year-old craftsman has been engraving, making and etching signs for nine years at his Superior Etchworx business. “I’ve been doing handcrafts all my working life,” he said. “I started with a leather goods manufacturing business and people always have something they want to challenge you with … I really love the challenges.” Challenges range “from ridiculously small to ridiculously large”. “I’ve etched the back of a watch which was an etching the size of a five cent piece,” Mr Rea said. “For a company called Fast Times I’ve etched a panel that’s about 2 metres by about 2.5 metres.” Mr Rea said he has a go at just about any project. He has etched whisky barrels, customises car and motorcycle parts and has built Edwardian-style cast iron clad postboxes at clients’ request. “I collect hand skills like some people collect stamps.” So-called “failed” projects linger long in Mr Rea’s memory. “We had one thing where the Prime Minister [Tony Abbott] was supposed to open up the PARC [swimming] centre for the council and I’d made a beautiful glass plaque for that which had to be changed.” Another time he built an 18-metre “inflatable hill” for rolling Zorb balls

with people down it. “It was sewn together but I misjudged the amount of stress of the material and the thing exploded, basically”. Fortunately the ‘explosion’ occurred during testing. His biggest challenge was “a Christmas setting for Santa Claus put up at Stud Park Shopping Centre [in Rowville] about 12 years ago. I made a model of a house that was virtually life-size.” Mr Rea said it took more than 300 hours to complete and at one point – perhaps taking the spirit of Christmas too literally – he accidentally “nailed

myself to it during the process”. “I literally put blood, sweat and tears into that job.” The successes over the years have vastly outnumbered the disappointments. Mr Rea is keen to try his hand at any project a client asks for. “I like looking at something and thinking ‘Wow! How can I do that?’,” he said. See Superior Etchworx website at etchworx.webs.com for examples of Mr Rea’s handiwork and call 9773 6250 to discuss commissioning a project. Neil Walker

A DEAL to ensure the future residency of disadvantaged families and individuals at Seaford Beach Cabin Park could soon be sealed. Frankston councillors voted behind closed doors after last month’s public council meeting to offer cabin park owner Michael Hibbert a new five-year lease term with a further five-year option to be considered in 2020. A long-mooted land swap deal – with a Crown land portion of the site, 860 square metres of land facing Kananook Creek, being exchanged with council receiving 675sqm of freehold land facing Nepean Hwy – has been dropped. Mr Hibbert said he is working through the terms of the ten-year lease with his lawyer and there is still some “toing and froing” with council but he is confident most issues have been resolved despite having some reservations about the lease terms. “They [council] doubled the rent on me. It’s gone from $40,000 a year to close to $80,000 a year,” he said. “They reckon they wanted to value it on a commercial basis … at the end of the day we’re pretty much dictated to.” The cabin park owner said he had agreed to make improvements to the cabin park. “I’ve made an offer to spend up to nearly $300,000.” The lease was supposed to end in July last year but council extended it on an ad hoc basis until differences between Mr Hibbert and council could be resolved.

Park life: Marginalised residents at Seaford Beach Cabin Park look set to stay. Picture: Gary Sissons

“They [council] want a $50,000 bond and they want me to pay double the rent, I don’t think they’ve made it exactly easy for me to continue on there but we will,” Mr Hibbert said. Cr Glenn Aitken said it is clear Mr Hibbert is running a commercial operation and makes a profit from renting cabins to marginalised people at the Seaford cabin park. Mr Hibbert has his own theory on why council may be “[making] it as difficult as they can for me”. “My opinion is that they [council] dislike a cabin park. It’s regarded as a bit of slur on the economy of Frankston. They would really like it gone … [but] I have made a commitment to the people and there’s no reason why I would go back on my commitment.” The cabin park owner said he had no intention of developing the site. Council rejected a planning application to build 51 units on the site two years ago.

Business lunch helps job seekers EMPLOYMENT opportunities for women lifted last week when Dress for Success Mornington Peninsula received $4000, the proceeds from a 4 March International Women’s Day lunch at Frankston RSL. Dress for Success provides women with “appropriate” clothes to wear to job interviews as well as mentoring disadvantaged unemployed women who want to return to work. In six years the service, which operates from Bayside shopping centre, has helped more than 3000 women. Frankston Business Network, Women’s Connect group co-hosted the annual International Women’s Day lunch which was attended by 180 guests. “International Women’s Day is an appropriate

day to assist an organisation like Dress for Success Mornington Peninsula, which is specifically helping women to improve their lives” Michelle Braggins said. Diners were engaged in “finding their inner voice” by speaker Alice Haemmerle who had them singing during the event. Haemmerle is a former opera singer and now a life- oach. Dressed for Success has now expanded its program to include pre-employment workshops for IT skills, goal setting, interview presentation training and time management. The next Women’s Connect lunch, which aims to bring top business and inspirational speakers to business women on the peninsula, will be on 16 September at the Mornington Racecourse.

AN undermanned Bayside Youth League basketball team went down to the Kilsyth Cobras 3867 at the Frankston Stadium, Sunday 29 March. Although missing their starting five players who were playing with Bayside Blues Men's team in a practice match, the young guns were up 27 -22 at half time and were looking good and a upset win was on the cards. But after half time the young Blues ran into a different Cobras team which outplayed them in the third quarter, 22 -2.

The game was over at the end of that quarter with Kilsyth leading 44-29. The young Blues tried to hang on in the last quarter but, being undermanned, were never in the hunt With 26 turnovers for the game the Blues saw Kilsyth run out easy winners, 67 -38. Scorers: Frankston Mitchell Zuijdwijk, 11, Pat Golong, 10, Clement Kueth 6. Kilsyth: Adrian Tomada , 17, Jordon Adnam, 15, Benjamin Ursich, 14. Bob ‘The Hoop’ Clinton

Turks team lands to pay respects FRANKSTON welcomed some special guests to mark the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings on 24 March when a Rotary Group Study Exchange team from Turkey dropped in. The visit was arranged by Frankston North Rotary, and the Turkish team was welcomed by Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer at the council chambers. “There is a special bond between Aussies and Turks that has grown from the tragedy of World War I, and I’m sure that will only be strengthened by the upcoming 100-year commemoration of the landing at Anzac Cove,” she told the group. “Thousands of locals will gather across the road at Frankston Park to remember those who lost their lives, and the sacrifice made by Turkish troops defending their homeland will also be remembered and honoured.” The mayor exchanged gifts with the Turk-

ish Rotarians and paid tribute to the ongoing contribution of Frankston North Rotary to projects in the community. The members of the Turkish GSE team were leader Umit Aktug, a maths teacher from Ankara, Asu Illez from Antalya, Asli Sonay from Ankara, Gonenc Sanli from Adana and Onur Karahasanoglu from Ankara. Frankston North Rotary was represented by past presidents David Hanlon, David Cahill, Don MacDonald, Eric Neill and former district governor Tony Spring. “It is a privilege to have international guests visiting our council chambers. We hope you take fond memories of Frankston back to Turkey,” the mayor said.

Mutual respect: Frankston mayor Sandra Mayer, third left, with members of the Turkish Rotary Group and Frankston North Rotarians.

Get family violence out in the open, says campaigner “WHY are we only now talking about family violence?” That’s the question put by Australian of the Year Rosie Batty to the VIEW Club’s International Women’s Day Lunch last month. Hastings and Mornington women were among the 170 VIEW club members at the event at Amstel Golf Course, Cranbourne. Ms Batty, whose son Luke was killed by his father Greg last year, said family violence “has gone on forever, but has always been hidden behind closed doors”. “Now is the time to bring that hidden truth into the open,” she said. “We are constantly being bombarded with statistics on traffic accidents, king hits in the streets, etc., but there are now two women killed each week due to family violence and we certainly don't hear about those sad statistics very often. “It is no longer acceptable for these issues to be kept from us, it is our business and we have every right to know what support is being offered through community legal services and emergency relief for the many victims caught up in a web of fear and isolation.” Ms Batty wants to “stop the myths

surrounding family violence and face the irrefutable fact that one in every three women are, or have been, affected by family violence”. When asked her goals for the year, Ms Batty replied: “By the end of this year I would love it if people could have compassion and understanding for victims, rather than criticism and judgement. “Because, if it hasn't happened to you, it can happen to your granddaughter, daughter, you son or your friend - it may also have happened to your parents. “We cannot afford to be judgemental and critical; we must understand and support and, if we don't know what to do, we need to go to a family violence organisation and ask: How can I help this person? What can I do to be supportive?” Ms Batty also said people “have to remember that violence is a choice, a bad choice, but nevertheless a choice”. Things like drugs, alcohol and mental illness could exacerbate a given situation, but “they are not an excuse and they are not a reason”. She emphasised the importance of education, saying it only took one of us to make a difference and an organisation such as VIEW, providing

collective energy from dedicated women, had stood the test of time and was needed more than ever. “Children get it tough,” Ms Batty said. “They don't have a voice and that's across all socio-economic backgrounds, across all suburbs and it is not just disadvantaged kids: onein-four children are affected by family violence. “I would like to see educational programs introduced into all schools where both boys and girls are taught to be respectful from a very early age.” Ms Batty will face a busy year. She intends to make the most of the high profile platform she has as Australian

of the Year. She hopes to continue the momentum of change, raising awareness of family violence and not allowing the issue to slip back into ambiguity and ambivalence. “The 12th of February last year was the worst day of my life, but I guess I am testament to the fact that you can rise again, you can find the strength, you can go forward and you can survive,” she said. She believes that grief handled correctly can be character building, while grief handled incorrectly can lead to a great deal of trauma. Ms Batty still battles every day with her tears and heartache, but she also holds some wonderful memories

which give her strength and joy. Despite unimaginable odds, she has become a powerful and passionate advocate for the rights of all women and children who suffer a sense of fear. Unfortunately, many people simply don’t understand it or even comprehend it. After her address Ms Batty was given a standing ovation by VIEW Club members. For help call 1800 7377 328: the National Counselling helpline, for information and response for victims of sexual assault, domestic and family violence.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Boating victim’s body discovered Compiled by Melissa Walsh GO and see Matt Elliott in “All a mistake,” Saturday next at Frankston. *** “TRUE love is a spasm, and I’ve had several already.”—Cornelia in “All a mistake.” See our ad. *** “ALL a mistake” next Saturday at Mechanics Hall, Frankston. A FarceComedy in three acts, by St Paul’s Club. *** THE district picnic and sports carnival organised by Mr T. Holland, which was held at Flinders on Monday, realised £75 for the Belgian Fund. *** THOSE who bought tickets for the purposed lecture on “Jerusalem” which was abandoned by Miss Meyer, and have not yet received their money back are asked to apply immediately to Rev G. A. Kitchen. *** WE call the attention of our readers to an advertisement in another column of the announcement of a concert, to be held on Wednesday 28th April, at which mementos, in the form of medals and watches will be presented to the local members of the Expeditionary Forces. Very good talent has been secured, stirring addresses will be delivered and we sincerely hope that there will be a good attendance of the public, so that the send off may be hearty and enthusiastic. ***

ABOUT 160 senior cadets of the 53rd Regiment, under Lieutenant Peoriw, are camped at Ballam Park, 2 miles from Frankston. A church parade was held at St Paul’s Anglican Church on Sunday last, and in the afternoon a route march to Langwarrin took place. The camp broke up on Monday. About 30 boys of the 58th Regiment (Preston and Kew) were camped at the cricket ground. The boys conduct at both camps has been admirable. *** AS a sequel to the sad drowning accident which occurred here last week, the victims of which were two men, news reached Hastings that a body had been discovered by a fisherman named Peter Peterson, who resides at Stony Point. Peterson found the body on the high water mark, about three quarters of a mile in a direct line from the scene of the fatality, on the north side of Han’s Inlet. The body was conveyed to Hastings by Constable O’Shannesey, and was identified by Joseph Amendola as that of his son, Nicholas, who lost his life while trying to rescue Laurence Neilson. The other body has not yet been found. *** WE have been shown a very handsome album, with about 50 photographic views of Frankston and its surroundings taken by Mr J. C. Garrood, to the order of the Frankston Progress Association, who intend to place some in the Tourists Bureau, Melbourne, for inspection by tourist looking out for a beautiful holiday

resort. The views comprise many of the most picturesque and beautiful spots around the town, and some of the views along the beach and at the pier are really magnificent. There is also shown a very fine view of the township itself. Mr Garrood has shown great taste and judgement in the compilation of the album, and taken as a work of art it is very fine indeed. *** FOREIGN Mission services will be held in the churches of the Frankston Methodist Circuit during the coming week, commencing on Sunday next, when the Rev J.W.Burton will preach in Frankston, Langwarrin, and Somerville in the morning, afternoon and evening respectively, and meetings will be held during the week at Tyabb on Monday, Somerville on Tuesday, Langwarrin on Wednesday, and Frankston on Thursday evening, commencing at 8 o’clock each evening. Mr Burton is spoken of as a fluent lecturer , and is well up on the subject of foreign missions, being organising secretary to the Victorian Branch of missions, and his meetings should be both interesting and instructive. *** ON Tuesday afternoon next, the remodelled school, at Frankston, will be office- ally opened by the Minister and Director of Education. Extensive improvements and additions have been made to the school, and it is now one of the most up-to-date buildings in the State. A room has also been

erected in the school ground for the use of the scholars, fitted with all the necessary furniture and tools which will doubtless be of great advent- age to them in the course of their studies. The ceremony will commence about half past 2 o’clock, on the arrival of the officials from Melbourne, when, after an inspection of the school and grounds, short addresses will be given to the scholars and parents, when an adjournment will be made to the Mechanics’ Hall, where tea will be spread, and several toasts given and responded to. Invitations have been issued and accepted by the Hon A. Downward, Sir John Madden M.L.A and Crs of Frankston and Hastings, in addition to the heads of the Education Department. It is to be hoped the parents will turn out in force that day and show their approval of the efforts put forth for the benefit of the children. *** A MEETING of the committee of the recently formed Frankston Belgian Relief Fund was held on Thursday evening, 1st April. All the collecting cards, which had been in circulation for the past month, were presented and checked. The total amounted to £9 15s 9d, which was considered very satisfactory, and if a like amount is collected each month it will go a long way in assisting a most deserving fund. The treasurer also acknowledges, with thanks, the receipt of an amount of 10s 1d, the proceeds of a raffle of handkerchiefs, from Mrs Hartland. The winner of the handkerchiefs is No 131, C. S. Lincoln.

*** THE body of one of the victims of the sad boating accident which occurred on March 21st, was found on the beach near Stony Point on April 1st by P. Peterson, who was walking to the railway station with some fish. Word was immediately sent to Constable O’Shannesey, who proceeded to the spot with J. Amendola. The latter identified the body as that of his son Nicholas, and the body was conveyed to the Royal Hotel. At the inquiry held on Friday afternoon evidence was given by Alick Lothian and Ernest Maurice Jennings to the effect that Lawrence Neilson fell overboard by some means unknown, and that Amendola dived in to his rescue. Mr J.M.Watt, J.P. found that Guisiffe Nicholas Amendola came by his death on March 21st from drowning, and that he entered the water in the attempt to rescue Lawrence Neilson, who had by some unaccountable means got into the water. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, which was largely attended. The Rev, F. E Watt officiated at the graveside, mentioning in a few appropriate words of the deed in which deceased gave his life. *** A VERY successful concert and art union of gifts, donated by local residents, in aid of the Patriotic Fund, was held in the Hall on Saturday, 3rd April. Mr Robert Cairns presided, and there wars an overflowing audience. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 10 April, 1915

OUR feet are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our physical activities, so it’s no wonder problems and pain are common. What many people aren’t aware of is that our feet can affect and cause problems in the rest of our bodies including ankles, knees, hips and backs. Bad foot posture can continually pull our bodies out of alignment, so any foot or leg pain should not be ignored. Problems left untreated almost always get worse but there is often a simple solution, if you get the correct diagnosis and treatment. Experienced Musculoskeletal Podiatrist Dr. David Kavanagh, from Foot and Leg Pain Clinics says that people often endure painful conditions for far too long, most of which can be easily overcome. “Even patients who’ve been told there is no solution or that surgery and medications are their only options, we are now able to treat with great success,” says Dr. Kavanagh. “I know what it’s like to suffer foot and leg pain but you don’t have to put up with it. With the right diagnosis and treatment from an experienced practitioner who addresses the cause of the problem and not just the symptoms, you can achieve successful long-term outcomes.” If you suffer from heel or arch pain, ankle, shin or Achilles concerns, keen pain, bunions,

injuries or degenerative issues, you can get expert assistance at Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza, Rye and Cheltenham. Call 1300 328 300. Mention this article when booking and receive $50 off your initial consultation.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Great “Boy band” bust-ups of history By Stuart McCullough ALL good things and the World Cup Cricket Tournament must, eventually, come to an end. In much the same way, it is inevitable that a pre-fabricated boy band must ultimately start to unravel with the speed of a homemade jumper. So it was that Craig bailed out on Bros, Robbie forsook Take That and now Zayn has decided to part company with One Direction. These things are never easy and almost always messy. And whilst news of Zayn’s departure apparently caused Twitter to pretty much soil itself, I can only say for myself that I greeted it with not so much a gnashing of teeth as a gentle shrug of the shoulders and a careless, ‘Meh’. Until, of course, I realised how it might impact my life for the better. That is, if I was quick enough. I am not a fan of One Direction especially. My lack of devotion is possibly fuelled by the fact that for about six months I confused the British popsters with ‘Direct Action’ and couldn’t understand what it was about their music that required such extensive negotiations in the Australian Senate. Having overcome that particular hurdle, I subsequently had the misfortune of hearing their music, most of which seemed based on the sole objective of convincing the listener that the band loved them. Much like Spinal Tap, such an approach almost guaranteed that their appeal would be ‘selective’ in nature. Not that I don’t feel for them in their hour of need. I can recall when the greatest boy-

In-Zayn abs: Rumours are circulating that Zayn Malik has left One Direction to make more time on his schedule for sit-ups.

band of my era – The Banana Splits – lived up to the promise of their name and blew apart in an orgy of antipathy and recrimination. When news originally broke that keyboard player and the undisputed heart-throb of the ensemble, Snorky, was leaving the band, it was accompanied by the standard press release declaring that he needed time off to recuperate and wished the other members all the success in the

world. Next thing you know, there are pictures of the world’s most famous musical elephant, his trunk submerged in a giant brandy alexander, getting thrown out of The Troubadour Club with John Lennon and Harry Nilsson, splashed across the front pages of tabloid papers. It’s all so predictable. Cue remorse. Cue rehab. Cue solo album that attempts to grow up all at once but succeeds only in alienating a once-

loyal fan base before winding up in the bargain bin in less time than it takes to sing the second verse of the ‘Tra La La’ song. The rest of the group, of course, vowed to carry on without their errant ivory-tickler. (Come to think of it, is it cruel to make an elephant play the piano? Just saying.) But much as when Ginger Spice said ‘sayonara’ to the rest of the Spice Girls in order to pursue a career in anonymity, it was inevitable that the band’s career should go the way of a fruit basket and get all pearshaped. Nothing, not even the sight of a newly minted leather-jacket look by the remaining members – Fleegle, Bingo and Drooper – or their decision to recruit synthesizer wizard and parttime cheese maker, Dennis, formerly of Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, could halt their inexorable slide. From chartbusting musical behemoths to retailshelf squatters in one fell swoop. Their former band mate fared even worse. Eventually, Snorky was hounded out of the music business altogether and forced to scrape by as an extra in David Attenborough nature documentaries. I can only hope that a similar fate does not now await poor Zayn. But where millions of teenage girls see tragedy, I see opportunity. Fact is, now that Zayn has cleared out his locker, a casual vacancy has opened up as a result. Sure, the group could choose to limp through their current world tour and disappoint millions of fans who paid good money to see five people, not four, prancing around on stage. Or they could thumb their re-

maining nose at fate and replace Zayn quicker than you can say ‘underperforming solo album’. How the band responds at this point is crucial to their long-term success. Some bands – AC/ DC, the Wiggles – carry on after losing a member without missing a beat. Others, such as Van Halen, never really recover. Niall, Liam, Harry and Louis: your time is now. To assist, I am prepared to offer my services at what I believe is a highly competitive rate. To help you fellas out, I would be willing to step into Zayn’s place at short notice. And in case you’re drawn to returning to reality television to find a new singer, let me say one just one thing about that as an idea: INXS. Besides, by making me a member of your group, it will inevitably broaden your appeal. Surely there are people who, at hearing that a heavily bearded middleaged man who is a lousy singer and an even worse dancer has been recruited to join the band, will take in interest in One Direction even if that interest might best be described as ‘macabre’. I’ve been rehearsing my dance moves for the last two days. Granted, there are some teething problems but, any time now, I expect to be able to spin around without falling over. I’ve also sewn sequins on nearly all my clothes including the suits I wear to work. I am ready. So, to my new band mates Harry, Niall, Snorky and Posh, I can only say this: brace yourselves – things are about to get interesting. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Show’s second round set to jump By Liz Dart THE 87th Red Hill Show was a winner. Organisers have been delighted by the number of people who have contacted them saying how much they enjoyed last Saturday’s event. The family atmosphere of the show; the “up close and personal” contact with the amazing range of animals; the grand parade; the woodchop; the entertainment – especially the shearer and the sheep dogs; the rides ... all were crowd pleasers and contributed to the magic of the day. Competition in all sections – from the heaviest pumpkin to the champion beef animal – was keen and received praise from the judges. There was a record number of entries from schools in the sheep classes, with Woodleigh School taking out the champion exhibit in the grand parade. However, two of the most spectacular events of the Red Hill Show are yet to take place. On Saturday 11 April the Clydesdales and harness horses will strut their stuff and also on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 April, the Red Hill Show jumping will be staged. Both events will be held at the Boneo Park Equestrian Centre, Boneo Rd, Rosebud. Admission is $5 a car each day and food and drinks are available. The Clydesdales, will compete in led, ridden and handler classes with the feature events being the long rein driving and heavy harness competitions. The show jumping is held over two days in two rings from junior and newcomer competitors to past and present Olympic and world cup riders and horses. Equestrian sport is one of the few sports where men and women of all

ages compete on equal terms. It is also a sport which involves two athletes – the horse and the rider – and the relationship and mutual respect built up between them is the key to a successful partnership. Horses are not eligible to compete in show jumping events until they are

four years old. They need to be at least eight before they can compete in Olympic Games. Horses and riders must complete a course of 10 to 13 jumps, testing their skill, accuracy and training. The aim is to jump the course in the designated sequence with no mistakes.

This is known as a clear round. If any part of an obstacle is knocked down or if the horse refuses a jump, faults are accumulated. There is a time limit, based on a normal canter speed, during which the round must be completed. The winner is the horse and rider

combination which incur the least number of penalties, complete the course in the fastest time or gain the highest number of points depending on the type of competition. Show jumping starts at 8.30am at Boneo Park and other competitions at 10.30am.

DELICIOUS SPIEGELICIOUS DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND, SPIEGELICIOUS & ANIMALICIOUS WILL BE BACK FOR THE EASTER HOLIDAY SEASON. LIMITED DATES ONLY! Its here, its hot, its saucy and it is spectacular! Spiegelicious has been headlining at the Spiegeltent in Sorrento since mid December, wowing crowds with music, song, dance and laughter. World class entertainment has never been this intimate and filled with the glamour and nostalgia of this 95 year old Spiegeltent. And now due to full houses and incredible reviews, Spiegelicious and Animalicious will return for a limited season during the Easter break, from March 27 until April 11. This special event is the dream of Three Palms owner James McPherson, who collaborated with Jason Coleman (So You Think You Can Dance/Ministry of Dance fame) to bring song, dance and circus excitement to the streets of Sorrento. Already creating a buzz with leading critics, Spiegelicious brings together a mix of Cirque Du Soliel aerialists, seasoned professional dancers, and some of Australia’s leading talents. Wayne Scott Kermond gives a wildy entertaining performance as the show’s Emcee, Jude Perl mesmerises the crowd

with her sultry vocals, the beautiful Catherine Hancock brings her chameleon show-stopping talent to the stage and Seann Miley Moore leaves the audience breathless and wanting more, more, more! During the day the Spiegeltent is home to ‘Animalicious’, a funfilled, rip-roaring journey through the animal kingdom that delights hearts young and old. With tapdancing penguins, hip-hopping hippopotamus, rapping rhinos, very cool polar bears, harmonising monkeys, a spectacular flying rosella and even a foot-stomping elephant, this show is at once educational and a spectacle for the senses. If you’re lucky it might even snow. The colourful costumes, thoughtful lighting and heart-pounding music for both shows ensure non-stop toetapping, clapping and belly laughs, with a delightful touch of audience participation that makes for a party that lingers long in the memory and the heart. Spiegelicious tickets are $79.50 and Animalicious tickets are $45.00, on sale at the Three Palms Box Office or via Ticketmaster 136 100 www.ticketmaster.com.au

A Grain of Salt OTHER than my sympathy for the Essendon players I lost interest in the supplements saga long ago, mainly because it was always an impossibility to read between the lines. I only ever had the one question, still unanswered. If the club doctor did not know about it until after it was started, and when he did know voiced his concerns (ditto Mark Thompson), who decided to ignore these concerns and why? *** WITH almost 12 months until the big eight O I’m mindful of the inevitability of change, aptly named reality. Why travel? Easier to stay put, a day at a time, previous energy levels zeroing. Eight years of this column, maybe a book? I’ve more than had my say and very likely I’m in Groundhog Day? The “voice” suggests a new practical regime? If I remain true to my life pattern I’ll do nothing and wait patiently for a “thought” to arrive, an idea? But an idea without inspiration is close to useless. A rest home, complete with cyanide pill? I revert yet again to darling spoilt Scarlett O’Hara. Inspiration? “I’ll think about that tomorrow”. *** FORMER PM Malcolm Fraser leaves us, sadly. His achievements included the continuation of land rights for NT aboriginals established by Gough Whitlam’s government, multicultur-

alism, the establishment of SBS, banning sand mining on Fraser Island and his apartheid stance in South Africa. Gorgeous Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young said of Malcolm “a politician and leader of compassion. A true gentleman with a heart full of empathy.” We gave Malcolm a second chance and he took it, with bells on; well done Mal. Puts Lord Tony and Seldom Seen Billy well into the shade. *** I PONDER what Joey Hockey will treat us to in the May budget after his disastrous 2014 effort. A whole year in office with every minister instructed to rubbish Labor, no matter the subject in question. Maybe it “seemed like a good idea at the time” but inextricably it’s lead to Neanderthal land when things get serious on their own account. A solid swipe at his mates, the rich kids? Supa dupa looks fragile at best for those earning the big bucks; even a slight swipe at negative gearing? Tony said it will be boring. An even bigger risk if it is. And maybe I’m dreaming. *** SO here I am in Woolworths making my way peacefully down an aisle. I spot another shopper at the other end coming towards me, purposefully, a big choc a block trolly, dead set in the middle of the aisle. A blank look on her face, glazed, determined, a bulldog. You immediately sense

there will not be any movement at the station; you’re choice is automatic, squeeze to the left or die. She charges on through like Errol Flynn without missing a step. Phew, missed me by “that” much. Sometimes, though rarely, a slight nod of the head. Be warned. *** DON’T you love getting your water bill? True, a mere $30 is now at $200, but think of the positives. A whopping $70 government concession, the added knowledge we are keeping all those South East Water executives in a job and further, their massive salaries (and bonuses) are keeping our economy afloat paying large taxes which pays for our pension? We’re all one big happy merry-go-round family. Then they generously give me the opportunity to win a $1000 gift card simply by signing up to email billing and save those hardworking executives all that messy paper work. Time to pay? A whopping 12 days. Bupa (11 per cent) and electricity up, despite the imaginary carbon tax cut, but Scotty to the rescue with the $2.45 pension increase. I’m getting some idea of how General George Custer felt? *** DO you drink alcohol? Clearly it’s going down the same path as the smoking epic. Ignition locks at .05? Eventually .04? They won’t stop there, they can’t help them-

selves. A life of making sure we behave in a manner approved by them for our own good, currently at a maximum of two standard drinks per day (Glasses, pots or schooners?). “Alcohol is involved in up to two of every three domestic violence incidents and as many as half of all child protection cases” What’s next? Easy, increase the tax; looks like they care and more money to play with. Eventually statistics clearly showing boozers die earlier? Any stats on non-drinkers dying earlier? Any stats on the life shortening effect of masturbation, physically and/or mentally? No chance - we’d nearly all be dead, except me. *** I HAVEN’T personally seen evidence of the physical side of violence between men and women, albeit threatened verbally countless times, but it’s alive and ever present. Marriage may surely be best described in successful terms as a partnership, where each cares for the other, careers and dreams included, which does nothing to explain the constancy of men truly believing they are the superior partner? I see no good reason for these (generally) male feelings, other than two thousand years of customs and practices in male/female relationships. Often the woman is equal to, or sometimes more intelligent, particularly in terms of human nature

By Cliff Ellen and the greater capacity for true love. As for who earns the most money, what’s that got to do with it? *** CONGRATULATIONS to our arrogant Australian cricketers...NSW votes in privatisation; no surprise. True blues...We ponder the inevitability of a GST rise...If penalty rates are reduced they will hire more people, and Collingwood will win the AFL premiership...Best one-liner of the year: “The pensioners of Australia are better off under this government”...

NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt ONE of the game’s greatest mobile ruckman, Rhett Sutton, celebrated his 200th game with Rye on Good Friday. The Victorian state representative led the team out for the Demons in front of a huge home crowd and celebrated a 19-point victory over old foes, Rosebud. The Demons, sporting a host of new faces, set the game up in the second quarter with seven goals to two. At the major interval they led by 41 points. The Buds booted eight goals to five in the second hour but the damage had already been done. Adrian Gileno booted four goals in his first day out for the Demons while Harrison Wilson impressed also. Nathan Henley and Kris Bardon were also dynamite for the winners. As expected, Rob Forrest and Jason Bristow, fresh from Subiaco in the WAFL, dominated for the Buds, while

Chris Dew, fresh from a senior cricket premiership with Pearcedale, was also solid over four quarters. Forrest provided enormous drive for the Buds from half back, despite having a heavy tag all afternoon. He was then swung into the middle after half time and the Demons still couldn’t stop him. Rye coach Josh Moore said Forrest was clearly their best player, while Bristow wasn’t far behind. However, he was more interested in the performance of his own side. “If we can produce that second quarter effort for four quarters we’re going to be pretty hard to stop,” Moore said. Moore said that runner and premiership coach Steve Ryan made a stirring speech before the game, reflecting on the career of Rhett Sutton. “It was a great rev-up for the boys and a wonderful tribute to Sutts,” Moore said. Moore too had some nerves before

the clash. “Arriving at the game I had some nerves and the atmosphere was like a final. However, when the first bounce kicked off the game, all the outside stuff disappeared and I was into the game,” Moore said. In the other Nepean Easter clashes, Sorrento thrashed Dromana, highlighting it’s going to be a long season for the Tigers after years of domination. Somerville kicked off its 2015 season in the way that we all predicted on Easter Saturday, picking up a win against Tyabb. However, it wasn’t the commanding win that was expected after the Eagles made light work of Peninsula League side Langwarrin in a practice match two weekends ago. Tyabb, who had arguably the greatest small forward ever in the AFL in Stephen Milne playing in attack, jumped the Eagles and booted the first four goals of the match. Riley West, Jake Anderson, Michael

Frost and then Milne all booted first quarter goals for the home side. At this stage of the game, this highlighted two things. One, this was going to be a competitive game of footy and two, Tyabb was not going to be the pushover that many thought this season. At quarter time, the Yabbies led by 16 points, 36 to 20. The Eagles engine got going in the second quarter with Justin Farrelly taking control in the ruck and Tommy Shaw starting to cause all sorts of problems down forward. The former Seaford goal kicking machine finished with eight goals for the match. When Adrian Ridout comes back from his hamstring injury, he and Shaw will be unstoppable. Adrian Speedy impressed in his first game for the Eagles after crossing from Mornington and Luke Rowe enjoyed the freedom of floating up forward with the additional tall timber to support him. Jake Anderson was fantastic for the

Yabbies with three goals in a solid four quarter performance, while Milne finished with three. Kade Anderson and James Cottrell were also outstanding for the Yabbies. In the most one sided Easter Saturday game between Sorrento and Dromana, the reigning premier kicked off strong, booting 17.9 (111) to Dromana’s 10.9 (69). Myles Pitt booted five goals and James Hallahan four for the winners while Daniel Grant and Tyrren Head dominated. Even more exciting for the Sharks was the unveiling of some new talent, including Max Kleverkamp, who impressed with a goal in his first senior game. The news was less exciting for Dromana, who struggled to hit the scoreboard. Matthew Bedggood was the only multiple goal kicker with a couple, while Daniel Guerts and Christian Ongarello were among their best players.

Pythons show early fang PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt ALL of the hype and excitement surrounding former Richmond, North Melbourne and West Coast forward Aaron Edwards came to life on Easter Saturday. Playing for his new club Pines against traditional rivals Seaford, Edwards dominated across four quarters and booted six goals in a best on ground display. Playing as a high forward, through the middle and even down back at times, Edwards finished the match with six goals from his 11 shots (6.5) in his side’s 15.15 (105) to 11.10 (76) victory.

The home side broke the game open in the second quarter, booting eight goals to one to lead by a whopping 42 points at the long interval. Seaford had the better of the Pythons in the last hour of the match, booting seven goals to four but with the likes of Luke Potts and Brendon Cowell dominating and Jamie Messina at his best, the home side had all of the answers. Taylor Strachan was superb for the Pythons in the ruck in his first senior game for the club. Pines coach Pat Swayne said that Strachan would be a super player for his side this season, given his athleticism in the ruck.

Swayne said it was good to get into the real stuff. “There were some things that we were really happy with and obviously there are some areas that we need to keep working on,” Swayne said. Seaford coach Ben Crowe has had a terrific pre-season and this showed on Saturday. Crowe was superb for the Tigers and certainly led the charge when the chips were down. Nick Braund was a new face in senior Tigers colours and he performed well, while Collingwood VFL player Rourke Fischer was also out on the park for the Tigers. Edithvale-Aspendale got its season away to a flier, smashing

Bonbeach by 14 goals. Bonbeach, who played in the grand final last season, lost more than a dozen players in the off season and clearly didn’t recover. On Good Friday the Sharks booted three goals in the opening term and only two more for the rest of the match. They led the Eagles by 12 points at quarter time. Michael Meehan, fresh from the amateurs, booted four goals for the Eagles while Brett O’Hanlon, who has been playing at Richmond, finished with three majors. Brad Tagg was a player that was rumoured to be leaving the club in the off season but decided to stay. He also finished with three goals, as did

Jarrod Garth, who was terrific last season. Brody Lawford was another new face for the Eagles and he impressed, as did Josh Tripcony, another local teenager in the side, while Timmy Mannix, who was whacked with the injury stick last year, was back to his brilliant best. Chris Bryan, the former Collingwood and Carlton ruckman, made his debut for Bonbeach and finished with two goals, while Mark Tyrell, Owen Hulett and Jackson Casey collected the top votes. With the losses the Sharks have suffered this season, a lot of responsibility comes down to Bryan, Tyrell, Hulett and Casey.
