MORNINGTON Peninsula residents are being urged to help raise much-need funds for social services during this month’s Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal. Mornington Salvation Army officer Lieutenant Sean Mapleback said the Salvos fed 50,000 hungry people, provided more than 100,000 meals, supplied 2000 beds for the homeless and assisted up to 500 people addicted to drugs, alcohol or gambling every week across Australia. He said people could help the appeal by being involved in collecting, or simply by donating when collectors came calling on the peninsula later this month. “Every year we look to raise funds in order to enable the Salvos to do what they do best, and all the local support we can get makes a huge difference, ” Lieutenant Mapleback said. “So if you see us collecting at any location, please stop and say hello and consider donating generously.” Collectors will be at Bentons Square on Saturday 28 May while Mt Martha CFA will collect at Mt Martha Shops on the same day and Mornington Primary School will hold a Red Day to raise awareness of the work of the Salvos on Thursday 26 May. Lieutenant Mapleback said it was not too late to help with the year’s Red Shield Appeal. To be involved, contact him at sean.mapleback@aus.salvationarmy.org
Crashes down, but trauma stays Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au
Greene is only too aware of. Mr Greene didn’t even see the driver coming up behind him on Point Nepean Rd, Rosebud in September, 2013, so wasn’t able to anticipate the impact. By the time his shunted car came to a halt and he was able to turn his head, the driver who caused the rear-end collision had disappeared. Although badly shaken and suffering severe bruising and a bleeding head injury, Mr Greene didn’t feel the full effects of the accident until about one week later, when his ileac artery rup-

hers, it just didn’t occur to her that the driver might not stop. But what happened next on that day in December changed her life and left the 33-year-old Langwarrin mother-ofthree with lasting injuries, chronic pain and a terrifying vision that haunts her every day. Ms Sheridan’s car was struck from behind by another vehicle on the Cranbourne-Frankston Rd, Langwarrin, as she was on the way to pick up her child from primary school. The impact instantly crushed her Ni-
ssan seven-seater vehicle and pushed it into the path of oncoming traffic. Despite being knocked out momentarily and injured, she regained consciouness just in time to escape from her vehicle before it was struck again. Ms Sheridan was studying nursing at the time, but today she is unable “to function on a day-to-day basis”, and is plagued by headaches, ongoing pain and muscle weakness. Worse still are the psychological effects of the accident. Continued Page 7

Every day the 81-year-old is in pain because of the residual effects of his injuries, which are now exacerbated by degenerative changes.

Library futures assured – shire Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au
for a few days each to achieve this,” Mr Adams said. “It will also allow us to better manage the library stock.” Australian Services Union organiser Prescilla Schwalger told The News last week that seven librarians have been offered voluntary redundancies by council and other roles are “substantially” changing amid fears of further job cuts (‘End of story for library staff’, The News 10/5/16) and complaints of a lack of consultation with libraries staff. All of the shire’s 20 library officers, mostly employed part-time, are understood to be facing redundancy. Mr Adams said the shire has “created 20 positions and expect most of these positions to be filled by current staff through redeployment”. “Library officers will have their roles upgraded with more full-time and less parttime positions. Their salary banding will also increase commensurate with their duties. “Due to the significant nature of these improvements, the shire is required to offer redundancies to those staff who do not want to be redeployed into one of the new roles.” He said “there is absolutely no intention to close the Hastings, or any other shire library service.” Mr Adams said there will be "more customer facing" and less backroom staff. Council did not confirm how many net job losses would occur after the restructure process is complete.

MS Research Australia CEO Robyn Hunter praised Ms Bradley-Robinson’s hard work and enthusiasm. “Our Kiss Goodbye to MS campaign, through the help of wonderful fundraisers like Donna raises vital funds for research into MS. These funds are directed to research projects that are investigating better treatment options, the cause and a cure for MS.” Ms Bradley-Robinson said she is managing her MS symptoms after undergoing a new form of treatment to try to keep the disease in check. “The best way I can describe how I feel is that I’ve been surrounded by fog for the past 35 years and suddenly the sun has risen and it’s a perfect day,” she said. “I have never known what it feels like not be exhausted on a daily basis.” The Scarlet Cup is being held at the Mornington Peninsula Racecourse on Sunday 29 May, midday to 5pm.

FORMER police officer Donna Bradley-Robinson was forced to quit the force when her multiple sclerosis symptoms increasingly made her job impossible. Ms Bradley-Robinson, a Frankston resident, was diagnosed with MS in 1994 at the age of 29 after experiencing symptoms since she was 16. Since retiring as a police officer in 2010 she has dedicated herself to raising the profile of the often invisible disease. With an average age of diagnosis of 30, MS is largely a young woman’s disease – that randomly attacks nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord – for which there is currently no cure. The progress, severity and symptoms are different for everyone. Symptoms range from tingling and numbness to paralysis and blindness. Ms Bradley-Robinson is hosting a charity event called The Scarlet Cup at Mornington Racecourse this month featuring live and silent auctions, a Calcutta Horse Race, major raffle draw and a Fashions on the Field competition. Channel 9 Postcards TV show presenter Brodie Harper will be MC for the day. The Scarlet Cup will raise funds for the MS Ambas-

ALL libraries across the peninsula will remain open after a restructure that will see some library staff lose their jobs. Mornington Peninsula Shire communities director Robin Adams says council has no plans to close down any of the shire’s four libraries at Hastings, Somerville, Mornington and Rosebud. The temporary two-week closure of Hastings library until 18 May is coincidentally timed during the staff restructure. The High St library has closed its doors so a new radio frequency identification (RFID) system to make it easier to borrow and return library items can be installed and refurbishment works including a new carpet can be carried out. “The Mornington Peninsula Library Service is undergoing the most significant renewal and reform process since its inception,” Mr Adams said. “This began with the major refurbishment of the mobile library to a state of the art facility for our isolated townships.” Mr Adams said Somerville, Rosebud and Mornington libraries will be temporarily closed in coming weeks so the RFID system installation – involving the microchipping of books, magazines, CDs and DVDs to replace barcodes – can take place alongside refurbishments. “This will require the closure of branches

Cuppa poured for a cause ANYONE with a taste for tea, good entertainment, personalised pampering and fine food is invited to join Mornington Peninsula Business Women in Dromana on Thursday 26 May for a ‘’cuppa for cancer’’, and more. The Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea charity event will feature manicures, massages, auctions, raffles, entertainment by Australia’s leading female magician Cath Jamison and food by the Peninsula’s finest. Last year the event raised $2374 for the Cancer Council to fund research, counselling and support services. One of the Dromana event’s or-

ganisers, Jo Violeta, said it was also about connecting with other business women. “The day is as much about each supporting each other in our community as it is about supporting the Cancer Council,’’ she said. Ms Violeta said many Mornington Peninsula businesses had shown their ‘’generous spirits’’ by donating their time and expertise to the charity day. The event will be held from 9am til noon at The Green Room, 2 Carrigg Street, Dromana. Tickets at www.stickytickets.com. au. Venue details at www.facebook. com/thegreenroomdromana
Prune ends bloom WITH the end of the blooming season looming, volunteers who look after the Mornington rose garden are getting ready to start pruning. The garden’s 4000 rose plants will be subjected to the secateurs 9am4pm Saturday 9 July and Sunday 10 July. The job is so large that Mornington’s 60 volunteers will be helped by members of the Morwell rose garden. The Mornington garden at Civic Reserve has been visited over summer by people from the United States, Britain, New Zealand, China, Indonesia Japan and interstate. The garden last year received the Garden of Excellence Award from the World Federation of Roses in Lyon, France. New species of rose will be added to the garden this year and the celebrated Mornington Rose is to be moved to a more prominent position. Rose pruning classes will be held at 11am and 2pm over the two-day pruning in July. The rose garden is at the corner of Dunns and Mornington Tyabb roads, Mornington (Melway 145H3).

Bank customers lose to keypad trap Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A SKIMMING device in an ATM outside a Blairgowrie newsagent may have helped defraud dozens of Bendigo Bank customers last week. Major Fraud Squad police are investigating claims up to 54 customers lost thousands of dollars before the device was discovered in the keypad, Monday 2 May. It is believed the ATM was compromised in the last week in April and the fraudulent transactions discovered later. Detective Senior Constable Peter Jessup said the scam had taken place but would not elaborate on the scammers’ techniques or the number of customers affected.
However, it seems things have moved on from the days when ATM customers only had to cover their hands when keying in pin numbers. In this scam, a doctored keypad records pins which are then used by criminals to make duplicate cards. These can then be used at bank branches anywhere. The shopping centre was busy on the weekend, with customers using the ATM – the only one in the village – to access money from a range of banks. One of the defrauded customers, Judith Mordech, of Blairgowrie, said she got a call from Bendigo Bank security staff early that day and was told they had put a temporary stop on her card after noticing it had been used at Westpac and ANZ branches at Ringwood, Lilydale and Ripponlea, over the previous three days, to withdraw
her $1000 daily maximum three times. On top of that, she was charged $2.50 in other-bank ATM fees for each transaction. She was asked to call in at the bank in Point Nepean Rd, Rye, to fill out a security form and was told the bank would reimburse the amounts stolen – but that it would take up to six weeks. She said staff at the branch told her that outlying ATMs were more liable to be affected as they are not checked daily, meaning fraudulent transactions can go unnoticed for longer, and CCTV may not be available. It is believed criminals sell duplicate cards to other criminals in what Mrs Mordech believes “must be a thriving industry�. “We [she and husband Alan] know of a few other people – many of them retired – who were scammed over that
weekend,� she said. “There are four cards in our little group and, although none of us were adversely affected, it still makes us feel ill at ease. “The moral of the story is that it’s safer to use an ATM at a bank branch in a shopping centre.� Bendigo Bank Rye manager Heather Williams would not comment on the scams, but PR spokeswoman Annie Herbert said fraud monitoring strategies were in place to prevent and detect fraud. “When we detect suspicious activity we notify our customers immediately,� she said. “The bank takes these events very seriously and works with both industry partners and law enforcement to combat fraud.�

THE state convenor the Australian Greens Willisa Hogarth is standing for the seat Flinders in the 2 July federal election. Held by Liberal Greg Hunt since 2001, Hogarth nomination for Flinders follows that of Labor’s Carolyn Gleixner. Mr Hunt is the current environment minister and both the Labor and the Greens candidates have signalled they will be attacking what they see as the government’s failure in that policy area. “This is going to be a campaign where the Greens remind the Coalition that they can’t get away with leaving the environment out of the conversation.� Ms Hogarth said. Ms Hogarth said last week’s federal budget “really cements the fact that Mr Hunt and his team have no plan to tackle climate change�. She describes herself as having a “strong history in the energy industry� and is “determined to advocate for the possibility of a renewable manufacturing industry in Flinders�. “The government has some fantastic opportunities to encourage investment in real jobs in places such as Hastings. But with Mr Hunt approving the continued cut to the renewable sector, it’s no surprise there is no investment in this new technology in Australia,� Ms Hogarth said. Both Ms Hogarth and Ms Gleixner stood unsuccessfully for the 2014
state election, Ms Gleixner in Nepean against sitting Liberal Martin Dixon and Ms Hogarth “as a support candidate� for the Upper House seat of Eastern Victoria. Ms Hogarth says she is backed by Greens branches on the Mornington Peninsula and Bass Coast Shire. “The growth of support in our area has been very exciting, but it also shows that the people of Flinders are sick of being forgotten. They’re looking for more than what the old parties can offer them,� she said. Ms Hogarth, a mother of three, is retraining as a secondary teacher and works part-time for a not-for-profit education focused organisation. Keith Platt
Branch backing: Australian Greens candidate Willisa Hogarth has nominated the environment as the key issue in Flinders electorate.

Peninsula motorists in fewer collisions Help on the road ROAD Trauma Support Services is a not-for-profit organisation that promotes the safety and wellbeing of road users. It provides counselling and support to people affected by road trauma, and aims to educate road users about safe driving. RTSSV spokeswoman Bronwyn Saville said the organisation was committed to educating the community and raising public awareness about road trauma and how it affected people’s lives. A spokeswoman for campaign sponsors Maurice Blackburne Lawyers, Andrea Petrie, said preventable road accidents made up a “substantial” part of the firm’s work. “Because of that we believe it’s really important that the message of safety on the roads is heard,” she said.
Accident may be over, but trauma’s long term Continued from Page 1 “It was so traumatic that I didn’t drive for 10 months and even now I can only drive short distances because of the anxiety,’’ she said. Ms Sheridan is still receiving counselling and medical care due to whiplash, back pain, daily headaches and tendon injuries, and said the impact on her family had also been significant. “My husband was a mess when he found out, but he’s very strong and has had to pick up the pieces and pull the family together,” she said. “And my children have also been traumatised by what happened to me, particularly my fouryear-old who saw me in hospital.” Before the accident, Ms Sheridan was a “bub-
bly” confident person, but now regularly feels inexplicably “sad, angry and frustrated”, and is struggling to make sense of what happened. “I’m so upset at the way people drive, and I see it every day,” she said. “Nearly every second car I see there is a person looking down at their phone or not paying attention, it’s frightening. “This accident has changed my life 100 per cent and things will never be the same for me or my family. “People think it won’t happen to them, but you just can’t say that.” A Langwarrin man has been charged by police and is due to face court over the accident.

MOTORISTS on the Mornington Peninsula have recorded their lowest number of collisions in the past five years, according to RACV Insurance data. Crashes in the shire resulted in 1373 insurance claims last year – a 4.6 per cent fall from the previous year. However, in Frankston claims following collisions rose 2.2 per cent – from 1282 to 1310. RACV general manager insurance Paul Northey urges motorists to “beware the month of May”, which has the most number of vehicle collisions. He said the trend had been developing over the past five years, with nine per cent of insurance claims lodged in the last month of autumn. “Friday is the day when the most collisions occur, with most from noon-6pm,” Mr Northey said. He said that last year, RACV received 201 collision claims each day. The $368.5 million cost of these claims was 3.9 per cent up on the previous year. Animals can also surprise motorists, accounting for seven per cent of collisions. “The average cost of collision claims last year was close to $5000, with 11 per cent of claims for total loss and 64 per cent for repairs,” he said.

Bandicoot to keep ‘endangered’ status DESPITE the best efforts of environmentalists and some government departments the survival of the southern brown bandicoot remains uncertain. With few viable colonies of the small marsupial remaining around Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula its “endangered species” status was last week reaffirmed. Foxes, feral cats and land clearing are among the bandicoot’s biggest threats. Environment Minister Greg Hunt told a biodiversity forum organised by the Western Port Biosphere that he agreed with the southern brown bandicoot staying on the endangered list. His announcement on Friday 6 May came one day after 49 extra species of flora and fauna were added to the federal government’s threatened species list. Mr Hunt told the forum he was “delighted to provide an update on our work for threatened species”, but apparently made no mention of the additions to the list. Mr Hunt said money from the federal government would help Western Port Biosphere protect 184 hectares of remnant vegetation, with 36 hectares “revegetated by the end of this year in this wildlife-rich region south-east of Melbourne”. “Landcare groups, councils and park managers are working together to help connect and improve wildlife habitat corridors. The project will help spe-
cies such as the southern brown bandicoot and the hooded plover, one of the 20 priority birds under our Threatened Species Strategy,” Mr Hunt said. Parks Victoria has announced that from November it will ban dogs from beaches within the linear Mornington Peninsula National Park as part of efforts to prevent the hooded plover becoming locally extinct. “A local predator control strategy is also in place in the Western Port Biosphere, supported by camera-trap monitoring of feral cats, foxes and the southern brown bandicoots they prey on,” Mr Hunt said. He said the national Threatened Species Strategy “is on track to achieve its 2020 targets and is already delivering real wins for our native animals and plants”. “Less than a year on from its launch,
this new roadmap to help fight extinctions of our native flora and fauna is benefitting at-risk species with targeted, practical action. With almost 1800 of our species listed as threatened, Australia needs to work harder and smarter to secure their future.” Mr Hunt said that since 2014 the 20 mammals and 20 birds had been nominated as priority species with the government “committing to improving their trajectories by 2020 and funding recovery actions for each of them”. A task force had been established to tackle feral cats, with all states and territories agreeing “to prioritise feral cat management in threatened species recovery programs”. French Island is one of five islands the government wants to be cat-free by 2020 (“Plans to end reign of feral cats”, The News 12/4/16) Australian Conservation Foundation campaigner Jess Abrahams was quoted in last Saturday week’s The Guardian that last week’s federal budget failed to include any new funding for the threatened species strategy. The only mention of the environment in a budget news release issued by Mr Hunt’s office on 5 May mainly related to $171 million for the Great Barrier Reef. “We are also committed to preserving our natural environment for future generations and are doing more than ever before to protect the Great Barrier Reef,” Mr Hunt stated.

Australia sets world AUSTRALIA’S world record for losing the greatest number of its mammals was the subject of the keynote address at Western Port Biosphere’s second annual biodiversity forum. “We have lost the ability to connect with the environment; with expanding development changing the landscape, the face of the environment as we knew it has changed, and the streetscape of urban development is seen as the norm,” Professor John Woinarski told 80 delegates to the Friday 6 May forum at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Cranbourne. The deputy director of the Threatened Species Recovery Hub in the National Environmental Science program at Charles Darwin University,
WHAT’S ON AT NEPTOURS
said Australia’s poor record of species extinction, had seen 49 new species added to the list of threatened species in the days leading up to the forum. Prof Woinarski said 30 of Australia’s mammal species were classified as extinct. A further 56 terrestrial mammals qualified as threatened and another 52 as near threatened. Prof Woinarski said it was important to connect and understand nature. He said the inability of Australians to engage first-hand with the natural environment “is impacting on our understanding of the relationship between the different native species and their habitat”. “We must identify mechanisms to

record in the wild foster community stewardship of the natural environment.” Environment Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt spoke to the forum’s general theme of pest control, outlining programs to eradicate feral cats and foxes. He also told the forum that following further scientific review the southern brown bandicoot will remain on the endangered species list (see “Bandicoot to keep ‘endangered’ status”, this page). The biosphere used the forum to explain work being undertaken as part of the federal government-funded Growing Connections Project, and the projects of our partner councils, Landcare and community groups.

Water search: A police diver searches for a car after it was reportedly driven into Moorooduc quarry, Mt Eliza. Pictured: Gary Sissons
Quarry car found HEAVY haulage vehicles were called in to drag a car from Moorooduc quarry, Mt Eliza, on Monday last week. Somerville Towing was called in by search-and-rescue police to salvage the Toyota Prado, reportedly stolen from Frankston South on Sunday 24 April. Walkers at the quarry saw the car crash through gates and plunge into deep water about 7am Anzac Day. It sank slowly nose first into the water. The walkers reported seeing a man near the scene and then another swimming to the bank and quickly walking away.
Car, trailer stolen LEAVING a spare key in the glove box may have helped a thief steal a utility from in front of a house in Nepean Hwy, Mornington, overnight Sunday 1 May. The Great Wall ute and a box trailer were gone when the owner went outside in the morning. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
IN a first for Hastings – indeed the whole of Australia – a local boy has nabbed the Holy Grail of sports by becoming the first punter to be drafted by a top American NFL team. Lachlan Edwards, of Hastings, went to Balnarring Primary School and Mornington Secondary College. He played junior footy for Red Hill and Crib Point, notched a premiership with Somerville under-18s, played under-16s and seniors with the Dandenong Stingrays, had a stint at Frankston Dolphins and then played in the seconds for North Ballarat Roosters while at university. That background – with forays into rugby, cricket and athletics – helped him scale the heights of US college football to now be a prospective punting star with the New York Jets. Hang-time and accuracy are his kicking strengths – both greatly admired skills in gridiron – made easier by his 1.95 metre, 97kg frame. His mother, Lin Edwards, is still coming to grips with her son’s transition from seconds footy in a Victorian country town to the might of a senior professional punting career. It began – like so many momentous moments – by chance. A Ballarat university professor saw the then 20-year-old kicking the footy on an oval in 2012 and, impressed by his accuracy and distance, suggested that he should be playing gridiron in the US. The US gobearkats.com website,

in an article introducing the new punter and forwarded to The News by Mrs Edwards, said the professor had contacts at the Australian punting and kicking academy OzPunt, which searches for college scholarship places for Australians in the United States. The ducks – err footballs – were aligned and, six months later, Edwards was a special teams player for the Sam Houston University, Texas, football squad, making a name for himself as a punter. The website says he had the most punts in one season (80), most yards in one season (3525) and best single game punting average (49.8). As well

as that, it says he can top out at 5.2 seconds of hang time at close to 60 yards. “During his three years at Sam Houston he produced 45 punts of 50 or more yards and had 72 punts killed inside the opponent’s 20.” The national league came calling on 1 May, with the website saying Edwards was the 19th Bearkat to be drafted when the Jets claimed him as their 235th pick. There was no mention of him being the first Australian ever to drafted as a punter. Now 24, Edwards once shared a room with famous Australian NFL player, Darren Bennett, who is now in

the NFL Hall of Fame. Mrs Edwards said her son was seemingly overlooked by a sports hungry media, which focused on another roommate, Tom Hackett, as the next likely pro football star, with Edwards pinned as “just another Aussie hopeful”. But the Jets general manager and special teams coach were in touch with him every week, waiting for their opportunity to pounce on the sports science graduate. They officially signed Edwards to the Jets on Thursday 5 May. “Aussie kids are so popular now,” Mrs Edwards said.

Wet weather stroll for dolphins WIND and rain did little to deter participants in the annual Walk for Western Port which raises money and awareness for the Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute. “It was the wettest day in the event’s history and they all deserve a medal,” the institute’s executive director Jeff Weir said. “Western Port is not on most people’s radar, so it is critical to help the community see mud and mangroves in a different light.” Walkers in the DRI’s sixth annual event included families and teachers from 21 schools, with some did the long walk from Jack’s Beach, Bitter, back to Hastings through Warringine Reserve. The schools are participants in the Dolphin Research Institute’s ‘i sea, i care’ school ambassador program.

Crayfish walkers: The Edwards family chose a crayfish theme for the annual Western Port Walk.
The DRI’s annual Whales Weekend is held over the next month’s long weekend. Mr Weir said whales were often sighted about that time each year and some trips aboard the Kasey Lee with Wildlife Coast Cruises would be linked with other activities Phillip Island.
JODIE Hinton is a mentor for young people. But it wasn’t always this way. Growing up, she struggled with her mother’s behaviour. “I had no idea my mum had a mental illness,” she said. “I used to be embarrassed of my mum and the way she acted, and I always knew she was a bit different but I never understood why.” Things are clearer now, thanks to the Satellite Champs program, designed for those aged 8-12 years with parents affected by mental health disorders, such as schizophrenia, depression, personality disorders and bipolar affective disorder. The program provides information about mental health, helps reduce social isolation and helps children and families develop coping strategies and a personal safety plan for when their parent is unwell. A similar program for parents ensures they and their families receive complementary information and peer support. “Families are greatly impacted by the experience of supporting a loved one with mental illness,” Mental Health social worker Tim Twining said. A member of the youth mental health team at Peninsula Health, he said children, in particular, can struggle to make sense of this experience and did not have a framework in place to understand the changes they saw in their mum or dad. “The Champs program provides a much needed intervention to address the needs of vulnerable children in a safe and nurturing environment,” he said. Mr Twining is the lead facilitator for the Frankston North Champs currently under way. The program works alongside Anglicare Victoria, Peninsula Health Mental Health Services, the shire’s Youth and Family Services, Good Shepherd Victoria and New Zealand, Family Mediation Centre, Alfred Health Carer Services and Frankston City Council. It is free and runs after school in Frankston,

Mornington, Rosebud and Hastings. Since it began in 1996 many young people – like Ms Hinton – can now support other children and young people with their knowledge. “At Champs I learnt about the different types of mental illnesses, the symptoms, who my supports were, and what I could do if mum became ‘ill’,” she said. “I had a better understanding of my mum. I learnt how to deal with her actions and how to take care of myself. I learnt that I wasn’t alone. I made friendships that I still have today.” Ms Hinton now studies youth work and is a residential youth worker and volunteer lead tenant for two autistic young people. Frankston Mornington Peninsula has a large gap in mental health service delivery, support, and information for those aged 8 to 12 years. Research has shown significant benefits gained by children participating in Champs programs, organisers say.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2016
It’s on: the battle for Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull triggered a double dissolution of the House of Representatives (lower house) and the Senate (upper house) and announced the federal election will take place on Saturday 2 July. Candidates and voters across the country face the prospect of a gruelling eight-week election campaign ahead of polling day as the main contenders for the seat of Dunkley - covering an area from Seaford to Mornington - square up to succeed outgoing Liberal MP Bruce Billson who is retiring from politics after a 20-year plus political career. The main suburbs in the Dunkley electorate include part of Baxter, Frankston, Frankston North, Frankston South, Langwarrin, Langwarrin South, Mt Eliza, Mornington, Seaford and part of Skye. NEIL WALKER spoke to the Liberal and Labor contenders, analysed Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s first visit to Mornington during the campaign last week and asks Bruce Billson what’s next on his horizon.
Lawyer vs Lawyer: Murphy vs Crewther ‘It’s time for change’
‘Build on Libs’ legacy’
LABOR’S candidate for Dunkley Peta Murphy admits succeeding Liberal MP Bruce Billson as the area’s representative in Canberra will be a challenge but she reckons it is time for change, and not just on the personality front. “Bruce has served this community for 20 years and they’re certainly big shoes to fill but I think people are ready for a new voice,” she told The News. “It has been a Liberal seat for 20 years and it is time for a fresh approach. It’s time for Dunkley to have someone with a different perspective to really focus on health and education.” Internal Labor polling shows the party is in with a 52-48 per cent chance after preferences of wrestling back the seat from the Liberal Party after two decades of Mr Billson going into bat for Dunkley. Mr Billson’s majority was 5.6 per cent at the 2013 election. The 42-year-old lawyer, who moved to Mt Eliza in 2012 to be closer to public sector consultant husband Rod Glover’s family, wasn’t always destined to enter the political fray but a speech by former Labor cabinet minister Lindsay Tanner at the University of Melbourne changed the course of her life. She admits to “always being politically aware” and being “inspired by the idea of a bigger, smarter, bolder country being put forward by Paul Keating” but it was Mr Tanner’s speech at her alma matter about looking out for the less fortunate that swung her decision to join the Labor Party. A career as a criminal lawyer followed university followed but Ms Murphy says she was determined not to spend her whole life in the political bubble. “I was lucky enough to have a role as a justice policy adviser for a number of years in my mid20s but made the conscious decision to go out and have a career because I did not want to be someone who talked about policy from a theoretical point of view or had always been involved in politics and had never had a career or profession in the real world.” Practising law as a criminal defence lawyer certainly opened her young eyes to the importance of education to break “cycles of dysfunction” in low socio-economic areas of communities. “I don’t bring one narrow personal experience. I’m a university-educated lawyer but I also understand other things. “My career has reinforced to me the importance of education. My parents were schoolteachers … I’ve always grown up being told education is really important. “My three sisters and I got told by our family that public schools are important, the public school system is what we went through. “Education is what gives people the start in life and being able to have the education that makes children see their own strength and see the possibilities in their own future to get out there and be part of the community is the key to a good, prosperous community.” Over the years her work as a defence lawyer has seen her speak up on behalf of some accused defendants who some may regard as “the worst of the worst” such as murderers and Melbourne man Joseph Thomas, dubbed ‘Jihadi Jack’ by the tabloid media, whose conviction for receiving funds from Al-Qaeda was overturned on appeal in 2013. While not naming specific defendants, Ms
LIBERAL candidate for Dunkley Chris Crewther is a new convert to the Frankston and Mornington area’s many charms having grown up in country Victoria but the 32-year-old sometime international lawyer and former CEO of the Mildura Economic Development Board says he has always had an interest in helping out the community no matter where he has lived. “I made my home in Frankston last year and set up my own small business in agricultural exports but before that I’ve been the chief executive of an economic development corporation in regional Victoria as well as an international lawyer in Kosovo. “Each of these roles are also ways in which I’ve been able to help the communities where I’ve lived at the time.” Mr Crewther, who earned a Masters degree specialising in International Law gained at the Australian National University in Canberra, had an early political awakening while at school in year 11 in Horsham when he attended youth parliament at Camp Manyung in Mt Eliza. He was the unsuccessful Liberal federal candidate for Mallee at the 2013 election. “I spent a lot of my time growing up in country Victoria and my wife Grace grew up in Blacktown in Sydney so she’s a city girl at heart. In terms of a place to live this area is the perfect combination between the country, the city and the coast. It’s a good place to raise a family.” The couple welcomed young daughter Yasmin to the family earlier this year. The newcomer shrugs off rumblings about ‘carpet-bagging’ after winning the Liberal Party preselection contest to be the candidate for Dunkley, seeing off a strong field of seven other local candidates including former Carrum MP Donna Bauer and Kingston councillor Paul Peulich. “It’s quite a democratic process. We had 84 minutes of questions, a speech, about 200 delegates or so in the room to choose the candidate. There were eight strong candidates and each should be commended for being willing to put up their hand to represent this area,” he told The News. “In the end I won their support so I’m just getting on with campaigning.” Mr Crewther says he will “run a strong positive grassroots campaign to engage with the electorate” because “solutions are what people are really looking for as opposed to the politicking of the day”. “One key thing is delivering more job opportunities for Dunkley families and that’s what I want for my family – not only job opportunities but meaningful job opportunities that give people a purpose in life. “People want the best for their children and grandchildren no matter where they live in the world. Job creation would be my number one priority but linked in with that is investment in infrastructure because without infrastructure you can’t connect people properly or help and grow businesses. “Tackling issues such as the scourge of ice are also important in terms of giving people opportunities locally – particularly young people. You need to give them things to do, education opportunities as well as work opportunities locally.” He says he will draw on his experience in Kosovo, in the former Yugoslavia, when he helped return citizens’ property to them after the late 1990s civil war there to have empathy for the

Labor candidate Peta Murphy
Murphy says defence lawyers who work in the legal aid sector do not get to pick and choose clients. “It can be very difficult. I think it is important to really understand what some people’s lives are like in order to bring some insight into the policies that affect people but there is no doubt it is difficult sometimes to have to be faced with some of the worst of humanity,” she said. “My career as a defence lawyer – even when I was working at a private firm – was working on legal aid cases and defending the poor, the destitute, the disadvantaged and very damaged. It’s not a moral judgement, it’s about making the system work for everyone. “I think people understand that a criminal justice system that is accessible and fair is actually what’s important for everyone and society.” Citing her mentor Duncan Kerr, former Labor member for Dennison and Federal Court judge, (“a decent man with good values”) Ms Murphy says she learned the value of serving the community. “Locally, the issues are often about education. Not surprisingly people with young children and children who have started school are really concerned about making sure their kids get to go to the best possible school and have the best possible education. Issues about funding public education and training and brought up a lot.” Health funding is an issue close to her heart after undergoing treatment for breast cancer five years ago. She credits Australia’s health system with saving her life. Voters’ discontent with political parties is also never far from her thoughts. She is a leading light on the hill in Open Labor, a self-described “group of people who seek renewal of the Australian Labor Party and a more open, optimistic and decent politics in Australia”, and admits the ALP can do more to make politics inclusive despite having made some good process in the past few years. “I think the party and leader Bill Shorten have made some good steps. Things like having rankand-file membership involved in the election of the parliamentary leader has reinvigorated the party but we should keep working on it. There are a lot of people out there who would be involved in a political party that would be attracted to Labor if we keep making ourselves open and transparent to serve its members.”
Liberal candidate Chris Crewther
less fortunate if he wins office. “In Kosovo I was resolving property claims before an international tribunal for claimants who lost their property due to the war. By giving people their possessions back you’re helping them get on with their lives.” Being a middle man in negotiations is a skill he’s brought to his small business. “My wife is originally of South Korean background so she has a number of connections. She grew up in Sydney from the age of three but she grew up in South Korea so she has a number of connections there with people wanting to import high-quality farming goods,” he said. “Given my country background and my previous role in economic development in regional Victoria I also have a number of connections with exporters who are producing those highquality goods but aren’t necessarily exporting to markets like Korea, Hong Kong and elsewhere. So the job primarily is linking those exporters with those importers. It’s sort of a bridge role.” Mr Crewther hopes to perform a bridge role in representing Dunkley in Canberra. “I’m part of a Liberal team that will form a Liberal government that will help to assist small business to grow the economy and actually tackle social disadvantage. But we’re also a party that social and environmental issues as well. I think the economy, the community and the environment need to be considered in any development. “I do have a say in this current government with Malcolm Turnbull.” Jobs for Dunkley residents is high on his political agenda. “I’m really proud my wife Grace and I and our daughter live in Frankston. It’s an area – that, if we have the right positive outlook as Bruce as done over the past 20 years – we can actually grow this area economically, socially, environmentally. There is a lot of potential in this area and creating opportunities for families will be my number one priority.” Mr Crewther said he intends to stay in Frankston after the election. “If I’m unsuccessful I’ll continue running my small business here and my home is here and my family is here. I don’t see anything changing.”

No booze cruise for PM A LIQUID lunch was not on the breakfast menu when Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull visited the Mornington Peninsula Brewery in Mornington while on the election campaign trail late last week. Mr Turnbull seems to be running a ‘hit and run’ election campaign - featuring short and sharp visits to electorates - while Labor leader Bill Shorten focuses on spending more time in specific marginal seats each day. The News was not notified of the Prime Minister’s trip to Mornington but managed to scramble an agile photographer at no notice to cover the visit. Mr Shorten visited Seaford on Saturday 30 April for a community consultation session. Mr Turnbull and a busload of political staffers and Press Gallery journalists briefly dropped into town on Thursday morning (12 May) to be entertained by Liberal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson who took great delight in showing the press corps around the brewery while extolling the virtues of free enterprise and emerging export markets for the peninsula ale. The media throng was so enraptured by the Bruce Billson show that Liberal candidate Chris Crewther seemed somewhat sidelined from the spotlight. The Liberal candidate and Mr Billson did manage to engage in a bit of jocular banter for the cameras though. Mr Billson said his prospective successor is “a newer, improved version�.
“He’s more handsome, svelte, taller and has less kilometres on the clock,� he said. “I want to grow up to be like Bruce and Bruce wants to grow up to be as tall as me,� Mr Crewther said. “I’m hoping for a belated growth spurt,� Mr Billson responded. After half an hour or so of touring the brewery, the prime ministerial bus departed and headed to a Moorabbin engineering company. An angry single mother ‘Melinda’ confronted Mr Turnbull in Moorabbin about cuts to family tax benefits and the rising cost of education. “The cost of school is going up and up and up and yet we’re not getting any more money and now you’re going to take the family tax benefits away. It’s not just single mums you’re hurting,� she said. The Prime Minister said he understood how tough it can be bringing up children as a single parent. Perhaps he wished the Mornington Peninsula Brewery was scheduled after the Moorabbin bus stop so he could have a post-confrontation drink. Although he could have cracked open a can of Mornington Pale from the slabs of beer handed over to the accompanying journalists earlier in the day by the teetotal Mr Billson. “Stay hydrated!� he cheerfully ordered the departing journalists. Neil Walker
Billson building for the future BRUCE Billson is preparing for a life after politics and has already hit the ground running. The irrepressible Liberal MP for Dunkley decided to retire from the political scene after Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull decided to drop him from cabinet late last year but has already landed his first post-politics gig. The former small business minister was appointed executive chair of the Franchise Council of Australia (FCA) in March. “When I decided not to continue I wanted to do things that helped me energise enterprise and support the creation of opportunities and livelihoods for people and this seemed a good fit,� he told The News. “I’m a fan of franchising because it gave me a start when I was at school. I still fondly remember Mark Foster who owned the Frankston Macca’s franchise in Wells St where Westpac is now and it was great to see a local businessman and woman using the franchise model to create opportunities for themselves and others.� Mr Billson concedes the franchising sector faces challenges when asked about the 7-Eleven scandal involving the underpayment of many of its workers. “That’s part of why I was asked to be involved.
Franchising is a fantastic business model where you can be in your own business but not actually be on your own,� he said. “You get support but as the 7-Eleven case shows you still are at the end of the day a business owner as a franchisee and you’ve got important responsibilities to your workforce and under the law that you need to be alert to and upholding. “That’s part of the education that is a segment of what the FCA does.� Mr Billson has also registered a business consultant firm name, Agile Advisory Pty Ltd, for “delicious possibilties� after political retirement. “That’s language I’ve been using for 20 years has become very fashionable of late and I thought I’ve often talked about the need to be agile in a changing economy and I thought I’ll stick with that.� He is not quite finished in politics yet though and says he will support Liberal candidate Chris Crewther in his election efforts before the 2 July federal election. “I’m fully committed to fulfilling my responsibilities as the member for Dunkley and like a good athlete you try to run your hardest as you run over the finish line.� Neil Walker

Breakthrough study lessens breast work errors HIGH-TECH 3D modelling is being used to improve planning for breast reconstructions, aiding aesthetic outcomes and reducing operation times. A breakthrough study at Peninsula Health, led by plastic surgeon Associate Professor David Hunter-Smith, has removed an “element of error” from the work. Until now, surgeons have had to estimate the ideal volume and shape of the breast implants or soft-tissue flaps using 2D photographs taken with a CT scanner,” he said. “While we would do the best we could, there was always an element of error with estimation. Now, with the use of a new technique and 3D printing we can remove the guesswork,” Mr Hunter-Smith said. While there have been a number of other tech-
niques using 3D images to measure volume and shape, until now, none have proven reliable. “What we can now do is create softwaregenerated 3D reconstructions, calculate and visualise volume differences, and produce bio-models of the breasts using a 3D printer for tactile appreciation of volume differential,” Mr Hunter-Smith said. In one case study, researchers found the new technique accounted for a volume difference of 116 cubic centimetres from traditional methods, dramatically aiding in preoperative planning, reducing operation time. “By printing the breast model, we also can give the patient something physical to hold on to, helping them get a better understanding of the reconstruction. This gives them the invaluable opportunity to provide feedback before the surgery.”
Mr Hunter-Smith says ensuring the size and shape of the reconstructed breast is in line with the patient’s expectations is of upmost importance to reconstructive surgeons. “We know breast reconstruction after breast cancer can be a significant milestone for patients. In 2014 we completed a study using 10 years of data that confirmed breast reconstructions have positive effects on a patient’s psychological, physical and sexual well-being.” Mr Hunter-Smith is a keynote speaker at Peninsula Health’s free annual Open Access event at which invites the public to learn more about its activities. The event is at the New Peninsula Centre, Mt Martha, 1.30-3.30pm, 27 May. RSVP by 19 May by calling 9788 1501 or emailing corporate.relations@phcn.vic.gov.au

Battery powers up from solar panels Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au TWO small garage-sized tin sheds in Langwarrin South may hold the key to cutting the cost of domestic power needs while providing a reliable source for off-the-grid sites. A relatively small bank of lithium batteries developed in the sheds can be used to store enough power from solar panels to run a household for up to three days. In trials already under way they are powering electric fences, golf buggies, caravans, small waste treatment works and now houses. These long lasting batteries can effectively store power from solar panels to be used at night or in cloudy conditions rather than diverting the daytime excess back into the grid. The makers of the Tardis Battery say the cost of buying this excess back from a power company is inevitably more expensive than the credits received for its supply. The relatively small cabinets required for the batteries to be fitted for domestic use seem a far cry from the project initially embarked on by its developers: an electric bicycle. Neighborhood colleagues Andrew Lamb and David Treanor shared rides to work at General Motors in Port Melbourne. The two engineers knew car manufacturing in Australia was all but doomed and came up with the idea for an efficient electric-powered bicycle while talking about “life after GM�. Lamb shared their ideas with Max Coulthard during a chance meeting
Powered up: The team behind the manufacture and marketing of a battery designed to store electricity on which houses can be run overnight or when solar power is unavailable, from left, Max Coulthard, David Treanor, Margaret Harrison and David Jung. Above, six of the lithium battery packs can power a house for about three days.
a Frankston Chamber of commerce networking night. Coulthard, a former senior lecturer in business strategy at Monash University, quickly realised that efficient batteries could have many more uses than just for bicycles. “What’s unique about our batteries is that they’re small on the outside but big on the inside,� he says. Coulthard, Lamb and Treanor formed MagEfekt in 2012 with the specific aim of “designing, building and manufacturing battery packs to meet specific customer requirements�. Their long-term goal is to produce energy dense batteries for mobile and stationary applications and make electric wheel motors using solar car technology.
Lamb had a history of being involved in the technical side of solar powered cars. Lamb’s involvement with the Aurora Solar Car Team saw him come up with nine “unregistered patents�, according to Coulthard. “He just wanted to give them to the world and helping develop a future automotive industry�. Coulthard said the partners decided car manufacturing was beyond their means so decided “we’d first take a look at batteries and controllers�. “We originally thought about a complete automotive system, wheels, batteries, controller and motor,� Treanor says. But once that idea was shelved, one of the first projects came through speaking with a wheelchair manufac-
turer in Noble Park about the safest technology for an electric vehicle. “We came up with an idea that saw us replacing two batteries with one, which meant half the weight and double the capacity. It provided consistent power,â€? Treanor says. Wheelchairs driven by MagEfekt’s batteries are undergoing tests and trials. The partners say their lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery is “the most energy denseâ€? of its type in the world ‌ as far as we can determineâ€?. Relatively small cylindrical steelcased lithium cells form the heart of the battery developed under the Tardis Battery brand. These small Chinesemanufactured battery cells are linked together within a moulded urethane
casing. They are connected with wiring, eliminating the need for terminals and can operate under extreme conditions (45 degrees to minus 80) and are waterproof. Coulthard says MagEfekt’s biggest intellectual property is how the small, individual cells are integrated in the urethane casing. “The result is a cool, light, long-lasting and safe to use battery.� Coupled with solar panels they can operate free of the grid, either at remote locations or in combination with the grid for domestic and industrial purposes. “Solar systems on houses are virtually donating power to the grid,� Coulthard says. “It’s a dilemma for people coming off contracts [with power suppliers]. Do they connect to a smart system or go hybrid and retrofit an existing system?� Treanor says MagEfekt’s system requires no changes to existing solar panel infrastructure: “It’s almost like installing a new appliance.� He said power could still be sold back into the grid once the batteries are fully charged. “This battery storage system can be added to houses to provide uninterrupted power and the daily usage can be tracked by computer.� While the lithium batteries are more than double the cost of conventional lead acid batteries their service life (10-15 years) is much longer and the partners believe the MagEfekt system will pay for itself in about seven years.

LETTERS Callous cull of staff I read with dismay about the callous way Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has gone about downsizing library staff in the shire (“End of story for library staff”, The News 10/5/16). I believe staff have been treated with total disrespect. These are dedicated people who are an increasingly essential part of the community with lending books just one aspect of their role. I then see that the council is also intending to contract out leisure centres in Hastings Crib Point, Somerville and Morninton. I understand the need for cost saving in this economy and believe this could well be enhanced by wasting of our rates on such things as a name change at West Rosebud, visits by three people to the climate change talks in Paris and over-budget spending by councillors. I also fail to see why council needs to maintain old buildings when they could be sold and much smaller premises obtained. Does the council understand what makes a community? Welcoming places such as libraries and leisure centres add to the health, education and wellbeing of all residents of all socio-economic backgrounds, ages and political persuasions. Council, please rethink the way you are treating us. Mel Farnbach, Balnarring
Problem with Heads It is wrong for environmentalists to blame dredging of shipping channels for the loss of sand at Portsea (“Experts seek permanent fix for Portsea beach”, The News 10/5/16). The shipping channels have been dredged almost ever since we stole this land from the Aboriginals. The real issue is the deepening of the Heads. When you remove six metres of bed rock from the heads with explosives - in a Marine Park where it is illegal for me to even drop an anchor for the damage that my anchor will cause - that is the real problem. Every time this is overlooked the Port of Melbourne authorities rub their hands together. Deepening the Heads means that every high
tide more water comes into the bay and, in turn, more water needs to leave at low tide. Faster moving water can carry a great deal more sand and that equals erosion. If you have a 100mm diameter pipe and increase that pipe by 10 per cent to 110mm diameter the flow rate almost doubles. In the past, bigger ships needed to wait outside the heads for the tide to rise sufficiently for them to cross. Now, they wait until the current slows for them to safely cross the Heads. There are different restrictions for different sized vessels. Currents at the back of the Fort, the man-made island in the bay, were once around eight knots maximum, now they can be up to 12. Charter operators can no longer dock there because of the fast currents that rip through the area. The best way to fix Portsea beach is to reverse the action taken to erode it, replace the bed rock. One solution may for the Port of Melbourne to pay to replace the removed bed rock with concrete blocks. John Gale, Tootgarook
Fines for signs Would it be a good idea if Mornington Peninsula Shire fined people for littering if, after two days, garage sale signs are not removed? They make our towns look trashy and in Rosebud there are still signs up from Easter. The owners of the signs would not be too hard to find as they have provided an address and date .If they can nail or tape them up they should take them down. Carolyn Davidson, Rosebud
Vote follows policy It would be a very odd result if the Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor’s [Cr Graham Pittock] casting vote at a meeting was cast contrary to a council policy or rule. Yet that is what former councillor Ian Lyons from the defunct Mordialloc City Council would have our mayor do (“Council to seek repayment,” The News 3/5/16). Council’s policy on professional development and conferences and seminars has been made clear to all councillors by management on at least five occasions. Such matters in relation to eight councillors have come before meetings of council since 2012. Cr Antonella Celi was
present on all but one occasion. On all but the first occasion, management reported to council that “Each councillor is allocated $4000 per annum for attendance at conferences and seminars, or the equivalent of $16,000 per councillor term”. An additional $3500 is allocated if a councillor holds the office of mayor. The status quo is to be found in upholding council’s policies and rules. Exercising his statutory right to a casting or second vote to resolve a tied vote, is precisely what Cr Pittock voted to do. Hugh Fraser, councillor, Nepean Ward
Not in China’s league It's a good thing the Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Graham Pittock abandoned his "trade" trip to China (“Visa delays see mayor miss China trade trip”, The News,3 May). Common sense (or something else) has prevailed. As if China would want to deal with a tiny, insignificant little shire at the bottom end of Australia, or it's mayor. That is as absurd as our mayor learning or utilising anything. It would have simply appeared as having been a paid holiday after the recent trip to Paris [for international climate talks] that produced absolutely nothing for the mug ratepayers’ money. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
Unsightly campers Well said, John Cain (“Close camp sites”, Letters 10/5/16). How much longer will we have to put up with the sight of people in their dressing gowns eating their breakfast surrounded by their washing across the road from the shopping strips of Rosebud and Rye? Peninsula Link brings many more day trippers, but we have not one extra parking spot, and what should be beautiful parkland looks like a refugee camp over summer. A stroll through the camps shows that the days of simple camping are long gone for all but a few. Instead, we have huge caravans with equally huge annexes, extra tarps extending the sheltered area, a dining gazebo, washing lines
and in some cases, fully equipped kitchens. Add decking, acres of matting to keep out nasty sand, the satellite dishes, solar panels, boat and ordinary trailers, and jumbles of beach gear, as well as high often sagging privacy screens and you have a good idea of what people drinking coffee outside Rye cafes get to look at. This was fine 50 years ago when access was much more difficult, but with summer population density what it now is, our foreshore should be a destination for all to enjoy. Why not picnic and parking areas, walking trails with some of the fun exercise gear aimed at the older person and little food outlets dotted along the way? Why not a Victorian version of Brisbane's South Bank right along this stretch of coast? As for the campers, there is a lot of space at Police Point and throughout Point Nepean. Margaret Stead,Sorrento
Of life and limb After reading the letter from John Cain (“Close camp sites”, Letters 10/5/16) I don’t disagree that an outrageous amount of leftover rubbish, old chairs, mattresses, old camping gear is discarded in the camping areas. I wonder if part of the blame goes to high tip fees or whether there is a lack of supervision of these sites when the time comes to vacate, often at scheduled times? I am sure that many of us locals walk these areas in disgust and wonder why the camping fees that are raised don’t go partially toward a more strict approach at preventing this problem. Camping on the foreshore brings many financial benefits to the area, and those visitors who lovingly frequent our shores, sometimes for months, should bear some of the cost as well. I also wonder whether insurance covers the damage to cars and vans caused by limbs falling from what appear to be mainly bayside Banksia trees. After every rain period or high winds, sometimes very large limbs are seen to be down throughout the camping areas. Seeing where some of the limbs fall, often into vacant camp sites, I would hope that a very closely monitored inspection of all trees in the camping areas is Continued page 52

LETTERS under way to prevent damage and, more importantly, loss of life. If camping is to continue in the McCrae area, let’s do it right. Wayne Berger, McCrae
Narrow views I have driven a minibus, drive my car and ride my motorbike along the Esplanade, Mt Martha. It is time to ban cyclists between Mt Martha village shopping centre and the Safety Beach underpass. This is broken record stuff I know, but it is too narrow and dangerous to accommodate cyclists. John Nagle, Mt Martha
Slow developer Interesting to notice how hungry property developers in and around Mornington care about the local people and area while waiting to do their "developing ". A property being "developed " on the corner of Main and Ross streets in Mornington, has been an eyesore for years, despite claims on the hideous sales board, that construction will commence soon. A simple phone request to the billboard phone number asking to stop the steel gate crashing onto the bus stop in Main St, was answered with “Mind your own business “. Thank you so much for caring for the local community. Edmund Burke, Mornington
Skylift questions As an Australian citizen it is my democratic right to object through the appropriate legal avenues. In Victoria you lodge your objection to VCAT (Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal). The group I am involved with, Save our Seat, lodged an objection to the Skylift development. We wanted the development to go ahead but wanted it smaller and to not occupy the summit area, where the Arthurs Seat tower used to stand. As we all now know the privately run Arthurs Seat Skylift (ASS) development has been called in by the state government and many are concerned what this may result in. The Arthurs Seat
State Park belongs to the people of Victoria. The developers should have to follow the regulations imposed by VCAT and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council just like everybody else. The planning minister [Richard Wynne] said in his media release he wanted to get the project started, if he had visited Arthurs Seat recently he would have noticed it has started and it’s 40 per cent finished. I am concerned the developers of Skylift will make more changes, such as further vegetation removal and like when Skylift wanted to change approved plans and use a cheaper, uglier retaining wall and the possibility that they may return to their preferred colour for the gondolas, a very vibrant “siren red”. When the responsible authority was the Mornington Peninsula Shire, questions from the community were answered promptly by the planning department or you could attend a council meeting and lodge a question. I have been calling and emailing Mr Wynne for five weeks, with no response. With whom do we lodge our concerns or questions? Kylie Greer, Arthurs Seat
Children abused As usual, Michael G Free has got it wrong (“Children released”, Letters 10/5/16). There are still 50 children incarcerated in the Nauru gulag. You won’t read those facts in the newspapers that Mr Free reads, but then, his letter presents neither a balanced, rational nor objective view. There are 267 children currently in Australia, most suffering from mental health issues. They continue to suffer great fear and anxiety because of the uncertainty of their futures. Medical, legal and human rights experts have fought very hard to keep these children in Australia, including even children born in Australia. Even though the federal government's own reporting has found that detention is especially harmful to children, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has declared, “When there’s no longer a case for them to remain in Australia, they will be returned.” Mr Free's sarcastic letter hides the basic fact that what the Coalition government is doing,
just as the previous Labor government did, is to commit human right abuses in the name of the people of Australia. One hesitates to think what Mr Free's reaction is to the news that two asylum seekers had been driven to set fire to themselves because of the hopelessness of their situation. Perhaps these horrific events were not covered in the newspapers Mr Free reads. Sadly, Mr Free is like many people in Australia who conveniently ignore the human rights abuses being carried out in their name. People should examine their consciences and put themselves in the places of these innocent child asylum seekers. Should right thinking Australians support such cruelty and inhumanity? I think we all know the answer. Ken Dyer, Rosebud West
Released but no free Michael G Free is on the money about poor internet and TV reception down here in otherwise beautiful Balnarring (“Children released”, Letters 10/5/16). But if he thinks he can get away with perpetuating the trickyiness of his favourite government about children in detention, he's more deluded than I thought. Just because the gates of the concentration camps on Nauru and the mainland have been flung open, but left the occupants in the same inhuman environment, does not mean the children have been released. On the contrary, it probably puts them at even greater risk of damage. As for the poor people on Manus Island, they seem to have been driven to the conclusion that the only way out is by self-immolation. Congratulations Peter Dutton. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach
Take a vote Recently, Mornington Peninsula Shire made a decision with results from a mail out to residents to rename Rosebud West to Capel Sound. The council is awaiting a decision from the Office of Geographic Names, for final approval or otherwise. By way of background, this approach was initiated by a small group of people advocating
to rename the suburb. The council mailed out 5600 letters and only 1902 responded. Of the 1902 responses the outcome was 1065 responses in favour and 837 against, which is not a clear or resounding endorsement to justify change, particularly when 3698 - 66% - did not respond. The mail out was a waste of money, with postage alone costing approximately $3900. It has to be understood that the demographics of Rosebud West, comprise a vast amount of both elderly and retired residents. An example of this is The Village Glen, which has about 600 residents with individual postal addresses and who, with their advanced years, possibly found it burdensome to respond to the shire and hence the lack of response. Quite a number of residents expressed that they didn't want any change. It is still not too late to achieve both a positive and democratic outcome, and that could be by placing a question on the ballot paper, to be answered with either a "yes" or "no", at the October council elections where voting is compulsory. Because of the inadequate response, it is to be hoped that council will reconsider and reverse its decision and agree for the matter to be voted on at the council elections.

Unequal shares I have lived on the Mornington Peninsula for 15 years and always thought that Mornington got more than its fair share of the budget pie. My observations have been proven prescient. The mayor Cr Graham Pittock made a courageous speech to the 2016 Mornington Peninsula Philanthropic Summit, organised by the George Hicks Foundation, where he “outed” his Seawinds councillor colleagues, David Gibb and Antonella Celi, for voting against a move to tackle the poor financial treatment of their own ward. “Seawinds Ward, which stretches from Dromana to Tootgarook, is the most disadvantaged Continued page 54

LETTERS ward. The neighbouring ward, Briars, is well off. “The problem is, as Cr [Hugh] Fraser recently calculated, that over the last four years the Briars Ward received 42 per cent of the shire capital works budget. Seawinds received 18 per cent” and, “that the capital works linking the (shire) master plans has Briars at 43 per cent and Seawinds at seven per cent”. He noted that Cr Fraser had recently moved a notice of motion “to inform the public of this imbalance”. Not surprisingly the three councillors from Briars Ward (Bev Colomb, Andrew Dixon and Anne Shaw) and their voting partner Cr David Garnock voted in the negative. Although Cr Gibb and Cr Celi also appear to be on the “vote against transparency bandwagon”, it is astonishing that in this case that they would vote against the best interests of those who elected them on such an important issue. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
Hoping for change Society is based on a series of laws and rules that are designed to govern the way that citizens go about their daily lives. It is therefore quite surprising that five elected councillors (our local law makers) would vote against a motion that sought to have a councillor reimburse costs that exceeded the allowance limits that are enshrined in local rules that pertain specifically to the conduct of councillors (“Shire to make councillor repay costs”, The News 3/5/16). Worse still, the councillor concerned has decided that the fault for the over-spend lies with shire officers, in that they did not indicate that the expenditure limits were being exceeded. Surely, elected officials should be accountable for their own actions,
just like the broader community is expected to do? Would these five councillors vote the same way if a ratepayer that had infringed local laws and was required to make a payment or reimburse money to the shire sought to have the matter set aside using the "but nobody told me" defence? We have an excellent CEO in Carl Cowie and he is certainly positioning the shire's operations in to a clear value for money organisation. How long we can keep him in this role will, I suspect, be governed by how much longer he can continue to tolerate the recent conduct of councillors. No doubt he (and also a substantial number of ratepayers) will be looking keenly to the outcome of the council elections later in the year, when we hope to have a council that is not split in to two distinct groups on just about every issue; with no sign of compromise for what should be taken in the best interest of ratepayers. Stuart Allen, Dromana
Quick off the mark Wow, the election campaign from the LNP has certainly hit the ground running. TV ads were on the screen seemingly minutes after the prime minister left the Governor General’s residence and the first mail out arrived in my letter box on Tuesday morning. (Surely they must have been printed, folded and stuffed into envelopes before the Governor General gave the nod for an election? One advantage of being the incumbent government I suppose. Already we have our Tony Abbott style three word slogan for the campaign, Jobs and Growth, but what jobs and growth of what? Hi tech jobs have been mentioned by Mr Turnbull, but what industries will be created to provide those jobs and who will get
those jobs if they ever eventuate? If the LNP is aiming for hi tech industries, why have they been stifling the development of alternative energy industries? We have great innovating industries working on solar, wind and other alternative energy sources of the future, but the LNP won't encourage them, preferring to stick to paying subsidies to the polluting coal industry. Last election the LNP promised to fund the Gonski education reforms, support the National Disability scheme fully, retain funding to the ABC and many other things. What we got was a string of broken promises and savage cuts to social services, schools and hospitals, many of which don't truly hit home until next year. Remember those cuts from the Abbott Hockey horror budget are still there. Mr. Turnbull hasn't removed them and doesn't want to mention them. Remember Joe Hockey's savage budget cuts and his talk of the age of entitlement being over, though apparently not for him, in his new job as our ambassador in the US. Joe and the LNP, despite all their talk about a "budget emergency", have more than doubled our deficit since they took office, despite not having a global financial crisis to deal with. Even now, while trying to buy our votes during an election campaign, we have seen a tax cut, but the people on the lowest wages get nothing and those on the highest will get the most.

Ease allergies through awareness IT’S Food Allergy Week, and parents, families, teachers and food businesses on the Mornington Peninsula are asked to help raise awareness of allergies and best practice allergy management. Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia president Maria Said says Australia has one of the highest reported incidences of food allergies in the world. “One-in-10 babies born in Australia today will develop a food allergy. With so many children and adults at risk, the key was to ensure members of the community can help prevent allergic reactions from occurring, can recognise the signs and symptoms of a reaction, and know what to do in an emergency,” she said. “Not only does this help in reducing hospitalisation rates, in some cases it potentially prevents death.”
Get involved by: Painting one nail to symbolise that one-in-10 babies born in Australia will develop a food allergy, Make a donation at foodallergyaware.com.au 'Adopt an allergy' for one day to better understand the challenges allergy sufferers face every single day.

Public tasting for Cool Climate Wine Show
PUBLIC TASTING Tuesday 24th May 2016 6.00pm - 8.00pm
Mornington Racing Club (Entry off Racecourse Road) Cost: $25 a ticket (which includes a complimentary tasting glass)
Tickets can be purchased at the door or online from www.coolclimatewineshow.org.au PAGE 54
Mornington News 17 May 2016
THE International Cool Climate Wine Show is again proud to share a rare opportunity to assess the styles, characteristics and latest trends of inspirational cool climate wines entered in the 2016 show, with everyone. You will be able to taste wines from many classes including sparkling wines, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Shiraz from vintages from 2012 to 2015 and older. The depth and breadth of the wine on show is vast. Many wines come from boutique vineyards producing small commercial quantities, so this is your chance to seek out some outstanding but lesser known labels. Some wines are from vineyards where grapes are handpicked and wines handcrafted by winemakers with a passion for exploring terroir and the true expression of the grape. This is a show where like is judged against like, where elegant wines with restrained fruit are seen at their best, and where diversity is encouraged and rewarded.
Compare wines of the same grape variety from different regions; focus on wines from specific regions or sample labels and styles you’d like to know more about. The ICCWS Public Tasting is held at the Mornington Racing Club. It’s designed for wine enthusiasts keen to find new wines for their cellars; for winemakers, educators, retailers and sommeliers wanting to identify trends and discover some real cool climate gems, and also for those who just love a glass of wine. Now, for the best bit. The People’s Choice Award is up to you. Vote for your favourite wine and show the winemaker your appreciation. Also, don’t miss the wine show Awards Dinner at the MRC on Friday, May 27th - an amazing opportunity to enjoy a sensational menu showcasing local produce and featuring the wines of the 16th ICCWS.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Two more peninsula lads die at war Compiled by Melissa Walsh WE regret to learn that two of the Peninsula lads who were reported missing since the memorable 8th of August last year at Gallipoli, have now been officially reported killed. We refer to Private Harry R. Twyford second son of Mr John Twyford, of Somerville, and Private Noel Travers E. Somers, the eldest son of Dr Somers of Mornington. Both lads were just 23 years of age. LIEUT. W. C. Pentland and Private Tox Anderson, late of Arthur street, Frankston, are now on their way to the front. We wish them every success. *** CORPORAL B. McMichael, Privates J. L. Pratt, and O. N, Palmer, late of “Cheer-Oh”, Frankston, have volunteered for active service and are now in camp. We wish them all a safe return. *** THE Langwarrin Amusement Co, comprising 45 performers, will give one of their popular and amusing entertainments in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Wednesday evening next. Their brass band will also play selections during the evening. *** THERE seems to exist some difference of opinion as to who has the honor of being the first volunteer who enlisted from the Frankston district. Sergeant Polglase informs us that he carries the palm, having enlisted on the 8th August, 1914.
*** CONTRIBUTIONS of flowers and books are greatly esteemed at the Langwarrin Camp, and any residents of Frankston who have some of either to spare would be deemed benefactors by leaving them with either Mr J. Reynolds or Mrs Rimmer, who will see that they reach their destination. *** THE name of Mr. P. Wheeler as a donor of 5s to the Soldiers presentation Fund was inadvertently omitted from the list recently published, and F. A. Haul Esq should have been F. A. Hunt, Esq, and C. Wells, Esq, should have been O. Wells Esq. *** MESSRS Brady and Mason will hold a clearing sale of household furniture and effects, on account of Mrs P. H. Thwaite, who is leaving the district, on Wednesday next on the premises “Caringa” Melbourne Rd. two doors from Fiochi Avenue. The sale will commence at two p.m, and on Saturday, 27th May in a marquee, on the ground, the same firm will sell 25 building allotments of the Beach St Estate, each allotment having 66ft frontage by big depths to Finlay St. The terms are easy being £3 deposit and the balance in monthly installments of 10s, without interest. The sale will commence at 3 o’clock. *** MISS Rene Bates was the victim of a sensational accident on Sunday 7th inst. She was in the act of mounting into a sulky when the pony broke
away and threw her down, the wheels passing over her legs and severely bruising one ankle. The animal bolted along the road and upset the vehicle, smashing the harness and getting clear. Mr Grover, jun., who happened to be driving in the opposite direction, stopped the runaway and brought the sufferer into Mornington. She was attended by Dr Somers, who reported no serious injuries other than severe bruises. *** PEANUT Farm at Frankston. At the invitation of Mr C. E Liardot, a visit was paid to the peanut Farm at Frankston on Monday last. Harvesting was in full swing. About 11 ton to the acre will be secured, and this result is considered very satisfactory. The plants make excellent hay, and the nuts are larger and of better quality than those grown in China. Under some of the plants 100 nuts were counted, but the average per plant is about 50. The proprietor of the farm states that the plants are larger than those grown in China. No disease has affected them, and rabbits will not touch them. The season has been one of the worst experienced here for many years. The absence of rain has been a great drawback. The results have fully demonstrated that the peanut can be successfully grown for commercial purposes in Victoria. The most successful results were obtained from nuts grown
in sandy loam and in black coarse (bracken) soil. No manure of any kind was used. It is expected that even better results will be obtained from this year’s planting. *** LETTER From The Front. The following letter has been received from, Lance-Corporal R.Sherlock, Royal Engineers, dated March 22nd, from France. Fritz has been quiet lately. He has not been sending many shells over these last few days; but I suppose he will have a spasm shortly and make up for it. We did not go up to the trenches last night as they were changing troops and the trenches get so congested that it is impossible to get up there, so we had a night in for a change. The trenches are in a terrible plight —mud, slush and water—but they are improving as the weather gets better. We go up, making the conditions better for the infantry, as well as we are able to; but it is terrible work at times. Perhaps we are wiring back frames over the parapet and you have to pull a dead German or a Frenchman out of the way so that you can drive a picket in and then more than likely the Germans in their trenches will hear you driving the picket in and will open fire on you with their machine-guns or a whiz bang or a coal-box or heavy shrapnel, just as the fancy takes them; but we will get over it all some time, I suppose. It is raining again, how I wish it
would cease, as it makes it bad for us, we will be slipping all over the place, sometimes on your back down a shell-hole. I fell down a big one the other night and one of my pals said it was the nearest I had been to Australia for some time. I had to laugh and got into a row from the officer because the Germans could hear me. I was thinking of applying for a commission, but I think I an better off where I am now. An officer’s life or rather a lieutenant’s is only for ten weeks. I think that’s the average. He leads the way, we follow. It is better to be a live N C.O than a dead commissioned officer. I am feeling as fit as a fiddle here. This sort of life seems to suit me. I have just had dinner—a piece of steak and a few potatoes. I could eat just about as much again. We shall have for tea —bread and butter and marmalade. We expect to be going back for a rest in a few day’s time. It is not much of a rest, as we have to do company drill, squad drill, fatigues, clean buttons, etc., but we are away from the firing line, that’s one good thing. We are in a ruined village now. I am at present writing this letter in a ruined house on top of our underground domicile. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 20 May, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The awkward orchestra debacle By Stuart McCullough THEY’RE the odd couple in our local strip of shops. Side by side they sit, representing two very different worlds. The first is a Catholic bookstore. It’s closed on Sundays, naturally, and does a quiet but steady trade. The shop next door does tattoos. When I was growing up, these were referred to as ‘tattoo parlours’, but now they tend to prefer ‘studio’. That’s because the term ‘parlour’ was only ever used to describe businesses that operated under the shadow of infamy. Tattoos and pinball – both had the ‘parlour’ tag. Not now, though. Things have changed. The tattoo studio (not parlour) opens whenever the mood strikes. The front window displays a crystal trophy that, at a glance, looks like something they dish out when the word ‘Nobel’ is involved rather than one to which the term ‘Best and Fairest’ is attached. The trophy was for coming first in a tattooing competition in the highly competitive category of ‘Best Leg – Female’. It pays to specialise. When you’re a kid, you think you can do everything. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t win an Oscar, a Grammy, a Logie and the Nobel Peace Prize all in the course of a weekend. Then reality sets in. Not all at once, more as a matter of attrition. Sometime during the process of elimination that is growing up you realise that the chances of an award beyond a swimming certificate are unlikely. Maybe you’ll achieve one of those things, but not all of them. There simply isn’t enough time to be good at everything.

Unless you’re Hugh Jackman, of course. In early high school, I dreamed big. There’s nothing wrong with that, but such was my self-belief that I thought these things would happen without me trying especially hard. As a result, my parents expended money for lessons that I attended but for which I never practised. This chronic lack of appli-
Mornington News 17 May 2016
cation meant that my progress in these various disciplines could best be described as ‘limited’. I took percussion lessons. For the life of me, I can’t say why. Secretly, I probably wanted to play the drums because, as everybody knows, drums are the best instrument in the world if you’re the one playing them, and the worst if you’re simply within ear-
shot. However, percussion lessons weren’t about sitting behind a Ludwig kit and pounding out the beats. They were about the marimba, the vibraphone and the enduring mysteries of the triangle. To this day, my triangle technique is flawless. For months, I attended lessons. Having not practised at all, my determination to show up seemed to slowly suck the life out of my teacher. It was like watching a tyre gradually deflate. Then, one week, he surprised me, by announcing that he’d arranged for me to join the school orchestra. When he told me, I thought this was simply a case of him acknowledging my musical genius. The school orchestra was a big deal, and not only because it was one of the few schoolsanctioned activities in which both genders were allowed to participate. Being an orchestral hotshot was the kind of thing that earned you all manner of honours including special acknowledgement on your school blazer pocket. Granted, having a few words sewn onto your uniform is not exactly an Oscar, but it was a start. However, my teacher had other things in mind. It was, I now believe, a last desperate attempt to encourage me to practise. I turned up at the first rehearsal without having so much as opened any of the sheet music, deciding I could wing it. No one was going to notice much if the triangle came in at the right spot. When I got there, the room was packed. As the percussionist, I was tucked down the back, although unlike everyone else, had to stand. The sheet music looked like a bunch of
black ants walking across the page. Although I was never much for sight reading sheet music, I was an expert at improvisation. This, I was confident, would be enough to carry me through. When the conductor referred to ‘Often Bach’, I was pleased. Even I knew that Bach was a famous composer and performing his work seemed like a good idea. I now know that he was, in fact, referring to ‘Offenbach’, who is a different person entirely. We would, it seems, be performing Offenbach’s ‘Can Can’. Offenbach’s ‘Can Can’ has no triangle in it. What it does have, however, is buckets of snare drum. It’s difficult to fly under the radar if you’re playing the snare drum. However, as the conductor tapped the baton on the music stand, I knew that my free-form improvisational jazz skills would save me. Or so I believed until, thirty seconds later, the conductor threw his baton down in disgust and, in front of everyone, questioned not only my sense of rhythm but my sanity also. He then decided that I should perform my snare part as a solo while every body watched. It was at that moment that I realised I was wearing both my school uniform and the Emperor’s new clothes at once. I stared back at the conductor as all the musicians stared at me. The ‘Can Can’ became more of a ‘Can’t Can’t’. I lasted about two more weeks, before retiring. The official reason was that I had decided to concentrate on the triangle. After all, it pays to specialise. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Friday evening also plays host to a great blues line up at The Grand Hotel with local favourites Wilson & White, Diddy Reyes and Rob Papp’s Blues Head supporting the unmissable Soul Sacrifice, Melbourne’s best Santana touring band.

Likewise, Vince Jones returns to Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery on Saturday June 11 with a new and unique show created exclusively for the Mornington Winter Jazz Festival.

Kangas make a statement By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN proved once again just how tight the MPNFL Peninsula Division competition is when it recorded one of its best victories in recent times. Playing Mornington at Mornington is never a happy hunting ground for most sides, however, the young Kangas came to play, led all afternoon and won 13.16 (94) to 10.11 (71). The Doggies seemed to get their mojo back last week against Chelsea with the return of Michael Gay and Jimmy Cameron, however neither had much influence on Saturday. Langwarrin beast Matty Naughton is considered one of the best big men in the game and he proved why again on Saturday, beating the league medal winner Gay and playing a vital role in the victory. Without two of their best players, Gerard Brown and Sean Herdman, the Kangas stuck to their guns and recorded their first win of the season under the guidance of new coach Brad Dredge (Shane Paterson coached the first win against Edi-Asp while Dredge was getting married). Blake Harkness had a wonderful break out season a couple of seasons back but was back to his best through the middle with a couple of goals, while Nick Tuddenham proved that ability can become reality with a near best on ground performance. The Kangas have found a genuine goal kicker in Kieran Albanese. Albanese has booted 21 goals for the season after booting another four on Saturday. Opposition teams have stated previously that Langwarrin’s ‘good’ is very competitive, however, they don’t do it for long enough – that changed on Saturday. The challenge now for the young and rebuilding Kangas is to find that level of consistency. For Mornington, it was a shocking result. Talent-wise and on paper, they have the Kangas covered. The reality is that the Doggies are a long way off it and slowly losing touch with the top four. Dominant five goal performances from Pines’ key forward targets Guy Hendry and a returning Tom Bongetti proved too much for Karingal to handle on Saturday.
The Bulls are lean at best down in defence and the Pythons forward power was always going to be the difference between the sides in the end. However, in saying that, the Bulls were right in the game for the most part, leading by three points at the final change. The dam walls broke in the last with Pines booting seven goals to one to win 15.12 (102) to 10.5 (65). While the talk was about the Pines’ forwards, it was key backman Beau Hendry who dominated, along with Luke Potts in the middle of the ground. Brett Burns and Anthony Joel were among the Bulls’ best, along with youngster Brad Occhipinti, who booted three goals. Mt Eliza bounced back from its shock defeat at the hands of Bonbeach last week to get the four points against Seaford. Tigers’ coach Ben Murphy told the RPP Footy Show live on Saturday morning (98.7FM from 9-10.30am) that his team’s performances against the ‘better’ sides in the competition had been poor this season and he wanted a solid, four quarter effort against the Redlegs. Murphy certainly got that on the weekend, his side trailing by just one point at half time and by ten points at three quarter time. The Tigers booted 2.6 in the third and should have been closer or even in front. The Redlegs turned up the heat in the
last quarter with Rohan Heasley and Justin Van Unen (four goals) taking control and youngsters Blake Millane and Jordan Capkin having a real influence, eventually running out 13.15 (93) to 9.6 (60) winners. Bonbeach made it two wins on the trot and moved to within a game of the top five with a commanding 16.12 (108) to 10.11 (71) victory against neighbour Chelsea. Once again, Chelsea’s inability to make the most of their opportunities really did cost them. At half time the Gulls had booted 2.10 after booting seven behinds in the opening quarter. Bonbeach was 7.6 at the major change. The second half had little to do with conversion – Bonbeach was simply too good. Jackson Sole and Justin Bennett dominated all afternoon for the Sharks and Chris Bryan was dominant with three goals. Alex Trowell made a real impact with three goals in his first game and Shane McDonald finished with four majors. Grant Trew and Matt Gardiner were the best of the Seagulls, while James Brain and Matty Baxter booted three goals apiece. Frankston YCW maintained its unbeaten run with a 15.18 (108) to 8.2 (50) win against Edithvale-Aspendale. The Stonecats booted five goals to one in the third quarter after leading
Seeing Redlegs: Mt Eliza got the points against Seaford, running out 33 point winners. Picture: Andrew Hurst
by just 19 points at the major break to break open the game. Lew Roberts, David Bodley and Jack Greenwood all booted three goals each for the Stonecats while fleet-footed bri-
gade members in Tony Lester and Jai Coghlan dominated. Mark Meehan booted four goals for the Eagles and Chris Whylie was outstanding yet again in the ruck.
Get behind the Sharks this weekend INTERLEAGUE
By Toe Punt THE MPNFL Sharks will tackle the Northern Football League at Rye’s RJ Rowley Reserve this Saturday, starting at 1.45pm. Coach John Hynes and his brainstrust, including Edithvale premiership captain Pat Poore, two-time premiership coach Gavin Artico and former Melbourne player Paul Hopgood, have narrowed the final squad to 31 after round six matches on Saturday. The latest player to withdraw from the squad was inform Somerville defender Scott Simpson for ‘personal reasons’.

The MPNFL Sharks will train at Frankston VFL Park this Monday and Wednesday. The final team of 22 will be named on Wednesday night. The leadership squad consists of Rikki Johnston (Dromana), Warwick Miller (Morninton), Anthony and Byron Barry (YCW), Mitch Hallahan (Sorrento) and Luke Potts (Pines). The other 25 squad members are: Kevin Lylak (YCW), Paul Rogasch (Hastings), Timmy McGennis ( Somerville), Beau Cosson (Dromana), Guy Hendry (Pines), Kyle Hutchison (YCW), Aaron Edwards (Pines), Paul Minchington
(YCW), Tim Bongetti (Pines), Justin Van Unen (Mt Eliza), Dylan Jones (Bonbeach), Luke Tapscott (Sorrento), Paul Scanlon (Pines), Christian Ongarello (Dromana), Jackson Calder (Mornington), Dale Sutton (Frankston), Luke Hewitt (Hastings), Beau Hendry (Pines), Brenton Credlin (YCW), Anthony Bruhn (YCW), Dan Gormley (Mt Eliza), Ryan Santon (YCW), Shane McDonald (Bonbeach), James Cameron (Mornington) and Ryan Kitchen (Frankston). Hynes said he was hoping for a big crowd to get down and support the Sharks. “Northern Football League
knocked over Eastern Football League recently and are expected to have a very strong side,” Hynes said. “I think we have assembled a very strong and talented list of committed players who want to play with one another and represent our league. “It’s a wonderful squad, as is the Young Guns Squad (they play Yarra Ranges on Saturday in Healesville) and we believe we’ll put on a great show. “I really do hope that a big crowd gets down to Rye and gets right behind their footy league,” Hynes said. The game will also be broadcast on RPP FM (98.7 or 98.3FM).

By Toe Punt RYE are in real trouble after being thrashed by arch rival Sorrento in MPNFL Nepean Division football on Saturday. On a day of celebration for the Demons as they embraced their 2006 premiership heroes on the 10th anniversary, the team on the field let down their past champions with a poor display. The reality is Rye relies too heavily on their top end talent and don’t have the quality at the bottom end to compete with the best in the competition. If you can stop the influence of Adam Kirkwood, Ryan Mullett, Kris Bardon, Nathan Henley and Matt Greig, you win the game against Rye, simple as that. Mullett, as silky and as graceful as he is, doesn’t hurt the opposition, despite racking up 30 touches a week. Bardon was kept to less than 15 touches on Saturday due to the work done by Jack Falck. Henley got a little bit of it but most of it was off half back. Greig was starved of supply but was beaten by youngster James Brigden. Adam Kirkwood was Rye’s best player, doing an outstanding job on the dangerous Nick Corp, before moving into the middle when the game was already lost. Dean Milhouse worked tirelessly for the Demons and James Appleford had a real crack all afternoon. On the other hand, Sorrento were superb in the 21.16 (142) to 13.6 (84) demolition.

Luke Tapscott got the Sharks going with two first quarter goals playing as a forward. He finished with five and more than 25 possessions to be awarded best on ground. Ryan Williams comfortably won in the ruck for the visitors and Zac Byrns roved to him perfectly, dominating the clearance work. Where Rye relies on its top end, it was hard not to notice Sorrento’s lesser likes. Chad Harris booted three goals and along with Danny Stephenson, didn’t mind getting into the heads of the opposition, despite their inexperience. Max Gardner and Shannon Gladman
each had plenty of it and Jack Grant is simply a left foot version of his older brother Daniel, with a little more size. If these half a dozen players, along with Brigden, are the ‘bottom end’ players at Sorrento, they are in for some exciting times. They are all classy movers, composed and ready-made senior footballers. There are also at least another three Under 19s that could make their mark this season. The more experienced Ryan Potter, Tyrren Head and Brent Kenyon all dominated in the back half and Scott Lockwood was back to his vintage best for Sorrento, jumping and marking the footy. He played deep later in the game and looked a lot more dangerous within range. Red Hill took its biggest scalp of the season, carrying on from its last quarter onslaught last week (against Rye) to beat Somerville. After last week’s performance against Hastings, Somerville looked head and shoulders above any other team in the competition. However, with a bit of homework from the coaching team and some execution from the playing group, Red Hill’s performance again highlighted how even this competition is. Nick Walsh, Mitch Wallace and Josh Siverson got the jobs on Tom Shaw, Ben Crowe and Luke Rowe and all of them won those battles. Harry Larwill played a forward defensive role on Scott Simpson and kept him quiet while booting three goals himself and Dan McNamara provided
plenty of run and drive. The Hillmen opened up an 18 point lead in the second quarter and went on to win by 31 points, 12.13 (85) to 8.6 (54). Two things Somerville has to focus on in the next few weeks – do everything to get Lachy Williams back from Box Hill and find themselves someone with experience to run the bench. A couple of weeks ago, Tyabb appeared to be building towards its first win. It went off the rails a little last week against Crib Point. On Saturday, the Yabbies found their mojo against Pearcedale and went within two points of finding their first win in years. Tyabb were level with Pearcedale at quarter time, led by nine points at half time and by one point at the last change. When Ethan Rahilly booted the first goal of the last quarter, the Yabbies looked like they may cause an upset. However, two goals in two minutes midway through the last to Pearcedale’s Zach Campbell and Glenn Anderson saw the home side take a fivepoint lead. The Yabbies peppered the goals in the back end of the last quarter but couldn’t find them, finishing with six behinds in the last, one of which came after the siren in a kick that could have won them the game. Pearcedale coach Jamie Merchan said “Tyabb deserved to win the game”. “They should have won. Their pressure was outstanding and there’s no doubt they were the best side on the day,” Merchan said. “If they (Tyabb) can keep up that
level of pressure for the rest of the season, I have no doubt a win is not too far away. Mark Paganoni and his team should be very proud of themselves.” Troy Jacobson and Ben Mitchell were the difference between the sides for the Panthers while Jake Anderson with five goals and Tyson Sparkes, who was back into the Tyabb side, got their top votes. Devon Meadows led Rosebud by ten points at half time before the reigning premier booted seven goals to two in the second half to win 9.11 (65) to 6.12 (48). Keegan Downie was again the star with three goals while Ben Dwyer dominated in the middle of the ground. Meadows’ skipper Jesse Dehey was his side’s best, along with Joel Hillis. Hastings bounced back nicely against arch rival Crib Point, winning 12.15 (87) to 5.8 (38). The Blues got off to a solid start but couldn’t shake off the Pies until the last quarter, where they booted seven goals to one. Nick Gray with three goals, Pete Mawson and Shaun Foster were the best of the Blues while Kain Stratton and Brad Davidson shone for the Magpies. Frankston Bombers sit in third place on the ladder after a 13.16 (94) to 10.13 (73) victory against Dromana. The Bombers led all afternoon with Dale Sutton and Sam Fox dominating. The Tigers are now second bottom on the ladder and little hope of playing finals, despite the good efforts on Saturday of Sam Guerts and Billy Quigley.
