Bid for smaller servos By Mike Hast THE twin freeway service centres on Peninsula Link at Baxter will be smaller than first proposed. The twin centres were knocked back by Mornington Peninsula Shire in December 2011 and the refusal confirmed by the state planning tribunal in mid2013. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal stated that key reasons for the refusal included insufficient traffic to justify the twin servos, loss of green wedge farmland, and the

project’s potential impact on breeding grounds of the threatened dwarf galaxia native fish. Service station builder AA Holdings reworked its proposal and bypassed the council and the tribunal, asking Transport Minister Terry Mulder to lobby Planning Minister Matthew Guy to rule on a smaller proposal. Mr Guy is seeking comment from the shire before making a decision but there will be no public consultation. The proposal was on the agenda for last night’s council meeting.

AA Holdings has reducing the size of buildings on both sides from 3000 square metres to 1500 and from 9 metres high to 6. Other changes include food shops reduced from five to three, smaller and lower canopies over fuel bowsers, smaller signs, and improved picnic areas that will feature fountains. Earth mounds will be constructed near both servos to reduce noise for residential neighbours. About 1500 trees and an unknown number of shrubs and other plants will

The twin servos will take about a year to build. Rosemary West of Green Wedges Coalition said it was bad enough that the peninsula green wedge had been scarred by Peninsula Link without twin service centres going in the green wedge at Baxter. “There are almost identical facilities in Frankston and in peninsula towns about 10 minutes from the Baxter side,” she said. “If the state government supports this, there will be consequences at the upcoming election.”

AA Holdings’ town planner David Hansen said there had been significant changes made to deal with VCAT and council concerns about the environment and amenity. New inclusions include rainwater tanks, LED lights and recharging bays for electric cars. A wetland would be constructed in the area where dwarf galaxia had been seen in the past.

Lawyers call to fix broken system

Comforting hand: Rosie Batty receives a comforting hand from a fellow mourner during the funeral for her son Luke in Tyabb. See Pages 6 and 7. Picture: Gary Sissons

By Keith Platt SOCIETY owes it to Luke and Rosie Batty to fix the “piecemeal and slow” system designed to protect children and families from violence. In the wake of the murder of 11-yearold Luke Batty after cricket practice at Tyabb by his father Greg Anderson, the Federation of Community Legal Centres has joined the call for tighter policing of intervention orders. Police said they shot Anderson dead when he threatened them with a knife after capsicum spray failed to subdue him. “We owe it to Luke and the courage of his mother Rosie Batty to fix this broken system,” the federation’s senior policy adviser Dr Chris Atmore said. “This means understanding that 26 per cent of Victorian family violence deaths involve parent-child or child-parent killings. “These are shocking and traumatic – but it is important that we make the effort to understand how, in a society like ours where family violence is so common, they can and do happen. “Putting in the hard work of accepting that fact and understanding what then to do about it is what we all need to do to heal as a community.” Dr Atmore’s call to action on Friday came just hours after the funeral service attended by many of Luke Batty’s classmates at Flinders Christian Community College in Tyabb. The federation said there was a need to focus on the lessons for family violence prevention in response to the deaths of Luke and his father. The federation’s member centres help victims of family violence obtain inter-

vention orders and the federation is a key member of Victoria’s Systemic Review of Family Violence Deaths Reference Group. It was later revealed by Chief Commissioner Ken Lay that Anderson, despite being interviewed by police on 27 January, had escaped being locked up for failing to appear in court after breaching several intervention orders. Mr Lay blamed Victoria Police’s outdated computer system for those police not being aware of five warrants for the 54-year-old Anderson’s arrest. Rosie Batty has been reported as saying she wished only for “positive outcomes” from her son’s violent death. “While the police have said that they will conduct their own investigation, and the Commission for Children and Young People is planning their inquiry, this tragedy must also be examined through the Systemic Review of Family Violence Deaths as part of the coronial inquests that should now occur,” Dr Atmore said. “It is essential that all of these approaches are not only timely and well resourced, but work together with a common understanding of the realities of family violence and how they interrelate with issues like child protection. Then we can unpack exactly what happened and make concrete recommendations for change. “The profound tragedy of family violence deaths is that they can be prevented.” Dr Atmore said the current system tended to be “piecemeal and slow, with only the coronial process requiring mandatory responses from the agencies involved”. Victoria Mullings, principal lawyer at Peninsula Community Legal Centre,

hoped “underlying causes and systemic failures” would be addressed following “the recent outpouring of grief and sympathy for those who experience family violence”. “Undoubtedly, progress has been made in recent years. The Sentencing Advisory Council’s report released last year, Family Violence Intervention Orders and Safety Notices: Sentencing for Contravention, showed that, compared with five years earlier, police are now applying for more intervention orders, prosecuting more breaches and more people are being imprisoned for breaches,” Ms Mullings said. “However, recent tragedies have again highlighted that more needs to be done. “These are not isolated incidents. Family violence is a complex social problem. “On average in Australia, every three hours a woman is hospitalised and every week a woman dies. Family violence was the second-most common issue reported by our clients in 2012-13.” Ms Mullings said family was a priority area for the community legal centre, which provided specialist programs covering family law and family violence. “One of our key services is to provide assistance with the intervention order process and, in addition to advice and casework services, we operate a duty lawyer service for family violence intervention orders at Frankston Magistrates’ Court and for family law at the Federal Circuit Court in Dandenong,” she said. Ms Mullings said “comprehensive national reform of Australia’s coronial system” was “vital if we are to identify and address the failings in our systems”.

Man arrested over ‘upskirt’ incidents By Chris Brennan A MAN who allegedly filmed up women’s skirts with a mobile phone at retail stores in Mt Eliza and Frankston has been arrested and charged with sexual assault and firearms offences after turning himself in to police. The 25-year-old Mt Eliza man surrendered to Frankston police on Thursday evening after footage and still images captured by closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras of the alleged “upskirt” incidents appeared in major media outlets

and on social media websites. Frankston sexual offences and child abuse investigation team detectives charged the man with stalking, indecent assault and possession of an unregistered firearm after he turned himself in at Frankston police station. The charges relate to incidents allegedly committed at a Mt Eliza supermarket on 16 February and a Frankston shopping centre on Cranbourne Rd on 2 December. In latest incident, the man allegedly put his hand up the back

of a woman’s skirt while she was shopping at the supermarket before removing it and apologising. The woman noticed a mobile phone in his hand, police said. He then allegedly followed the woman around the store before placing his hand up her skirt again. He left after the victim confronted him. In the earlier Frankston incident, a sales assistant in a jewellery store was allegedly approached by the same man after he allegedly dropped items on the floor for her

to pick up and then filmed her. The woman noticed he had a digitial camera in his hand, police said. The man left the store when she contacted security. Police released security footage of both incidents on Wednesday, which appeared in social and mainstream media, including the Mornington Peninsula News Group’s Facebook page. The man has been bailed to appear in Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 29 April.

TRAGEDY IN TYABB

Hope shines through as community farewells Luke By Chris Brennan THE tight-knit Tyabb and peninsula communities bid farewell to a cherished young soul last Friday, as hundreds of mourners gathered at Flinders Community Christian College for the funeral of 11-year-old murder victim Luke Batty. But police, psychologists and youth workers fear it will be a long time before the community, and in particular Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young friends and school mates, can leave behind the pain and anguish of the Year 6 studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senseless death at the hands of his father ten days earlier at a nearby Tyabb cricket ground. Overcast skies and light misty rain on the morning of the funeral were offset by the brightly dressed mourners, who had been asked to wear a â&#x20AC;&#x153;splash of yellowâ&#x20AC;? to celebrate Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite colour, the colour of â&#x20AC;&#x153;happiness and optimism, of enlightenment and creativity, sunshine and springâ&#x20AC;?, as he once wrote in a poem. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Rosie Batty, was escorted to the service inside the school chapel by her mother, father and brother after arriving in a limousine. Wearing a yellow jacket, flower and scarf, Ms Batty read Psalm 23 to the assembled mourners inside the chapel, while hundreds more listened and watched in the nearby school gym, where the service was screened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me,â&#x20AC;? she read.

Mourners were told by the head of Flinders Community Christian Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior school, Greg Partridge, that Luke would always be remembered for infectious laugh and mischievous sense of humour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know teachers found it hard to discipline him when they were laughing at what he had just done,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You will be missed dearly Luke.â&#x20AC;? Reverend David Rietveld said Luke was a young man whose â&#x20AC;&#x153;integrity drove him to understand him what life was aboutâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luke would seek to ask not just the simple or the surface questions, he would ask the deep and the profound questions about life, about God, about meaning,â&#x20AC;? he said. Rev Rietveld also praised the efforts of Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother in attempting to bring some good from the tragedy by highlighting the impact of domestic violence across the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I don't think any of us for a moment thinks that possibly more good could come than the bad that has been perpetrated,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But like me, I suspect you have marvelled as Rosie has sought to bring good out of the bad that's taken place as she's tried to bring a spotlight on domestic violence and bring that into the public conversation in the hope that we might minimise the harm that it causes.â&#x20AC;? Following the service, mourners cried and embraced each other as Luke's yellow casket, adorned with bright flowers and a stuffed Spongebob Squarepants toy, was carried through a guard of honour made up

of hundreds of school friends and members of the community to a hearse where it departed for a private cremation service. A poem written by Luke included inside the funeral order of service booklet shed more light on his love for the colour yellow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the natural world, yellow is the colour of sunflowers and daffodils, egg yolks and lemons, canaries, bees and bananas,â&#x20AC;? Luke wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our contemporary human-made world, yellow is the colour of Spongebob, the Tour de France winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jersey, happy faces, post-it notes and signs that alert us to danger of caution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is the colour of happiness and optimism, of enlightenment and creativity, sunshine and spring.â&#x20AC;? Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family requested mourners provide donations to the charity Children Affected by Violence instead of buying flowers. An online charity fund in honour of Luke has also been set up by friends of Ms Batty, as she battles to try to bring some good comes from the tragedy. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;For Rosie, her strongest belief is that something good can come out of this,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said close friend Jane McGrath, who has set up the Luke Batty Fund at gofundme.com Ms Battyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compassion and dignity in the face of the tragic loss of both her son and former partner have been a source of admiration across the community. She has highlighted the issue of domestic violence while being careful to explain that her estranged husband had suffered a long-term, undiagnosed mental illness.

State schools offered path to independence By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula public schools are being encouraged to take up a federal government offer to become independent. Flinders federal MP Greg Hunt said government-run schools on the peninsula could enjoy greater autonomy for decisions such as subjects taught and the hiring and firing of staff by signing on to a federal government plan to create an “independent public school” sector. Under the federal government’s $70 million plan, which aims to turn 1500 Australian public schools into independent public schools by 2017, parents and principals would have more say about school curriculums, staff, budgets and management. Mr Hunt said peninsula schools signing on to the plan would be encouraged to build greater community and parental engagement to help guide their children’s education. “I hope schools across [the peninsula] will seriously consider this venture,” he said. “There are some terrific local schools here and this will give them more autonomy in their decisionmaking and greater flexibility to tailor school operations to meet the needs of students and local communities. “Principals, parents and school com-

munities are best placed to make the decisions that affect their schools. I am sure many schools will find the decision to become independent public schools an exciting and attractive option.” Mr Hunt said the government aimed to have 25 per cent of all public schools take up the independent model by 2017. Any peninsula school could nominate but the state Education Department would have the final say on which schools are given independent status. Federal funds will then be allocated to train school principals and leadership boards to enable them to be “independent ready” by 2017. The schools selected would be funded by – and remain under the ultimate control of – the state government, but the way in which they were run would more closely resemble that of a nongovernment independent school. The plan embodies the Coalition’s stated belief that “the more autonomous a school, the better the outcomes for students … because the more a principal and their leadership team have control over the destiny of their own school, the more that seems to lift the school performance”. However, the Opposition and teacher unions have opposed the plan, slamming it as cynical attack on unions and

More pain for families says MP

Do something good GREG Hunt last week visited Abacus Learning Centre in Hastings to help promote a new community volunteering initiative. DoSomething connects willing volunteers with community groups in their area, which in the case of the peninsula includes organisations such as Sorrento SES, Mornington Peninsula Library Service, Holy Trinity Op Shop, Meals on Wheels, Rotary clubs and sporting groups. “Volunteers are the lifeblood of these community organisations and many groups are desperately seeking additional volunteers to allow them to continue their good work,” Mr Hunt said. Potential volunteers can type their postcode or suburb into www.dosomethingnearyou. com.au/Greg-Hunt to find a suitable. Abacus, a not-for-profit organisation that provides intensive early intervention for children with autism, is seeking assistance with gardening, painting, maintenance, cleaning and repairing toys.

an attempt to cover up the federal government’s cost-cutting agenda. Victorian Education Minister and Nepean MP Martin Dixon said he supported the federal plan, but pointed out Victoria was already well down the “independent public school” path with “the most autonomous education system in the country”. “Victoria has the most autonomous education system in the country, and we are glad the commonwealth under-

stands the great impact this can have on student outcomes, school leadership and professional development, and engagement with local communities,” he said. “We are looking forward to engaging with the federal government on this initiative and submitting our own proposal consistent with our reform agenda for further autonomy in Victorian schools, and show how they may benefit from this additional funding.”

FLINDERS federal MP Greg Hunt has defended the government’s push to scrap hundreds of dollars’ worth of payments designed to assist parents cover school expenses. The Coalition has vowed to axe the Schoolkids Bonus, which provided eligible families with up to $820 for each child in school, arguing it had been funded through Labor’s Mineral Resource Rent Tax, which it is seeking to repeal along with the former government’s carbon price. Government legislation designed to kill the carbon and mining taxes and associated spending measures is yet to be passed after being blocked in the senate by Labor and the Greens but remains at the top of the Coalition’s parliamentary agenda. Delays in passing the legislation meant the first of two annual instalments of the Schoolkids Bonus went out to 1.2 million families last month. But the payment is expected to be the last, with the government hoping to pass legislation ending the bonus after the composition of the senate changes in July, when newly elected senators take up their posts. “I know cost of living pressures are placing a huge burden on local families, which is why we are determined to repeal the carbon tax as soon as possible,” Mr Hunt said. “The best way we can help families with cost of living pressures is by scrapping the carbon tax, which will save families an average of $550 a year. Since the carbon tax was introduced, electricity bills have risen by 10 per cent on average, putting enormous pressure on local families.”

Snipe set to soar after nine years By Keith Platt NICK Caudwell has high expectations for a project that’s taken nearly a decade to complete. In the next few months he plans to fly a Sopwith Snipe biplane that he has completely built from the ground up using original blueprints. He has handcrafted the timber frame, and meticulously and laboriously shrunk and coated linen with about 10 layers of dope (plasticised lacquer) for the plane’s outer skin, which is stitched to the frame. The one original specification not followed is the engine. “I couldn’t get an original Bentley AR 1 rotary engine and have instead used a Second World War radial engine that was built in the United States,” Mr Caudwell said. The seven-cylinder Continental W670 engine was used in the PTStearman training aircraft as well as Stuart tanks and military landing craft. Other original equipment sourced from collectors around the world included gun sights from eBay. Mr Caudwell’s plane took shape over the past nine and a half years in the garage of his Mt Eliza house with the wings and fuselage being taken separately to Tyabb airfield to be assembled. Another Snipe built in New Zealand by film director Peter Jackson (King Kong, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit) has already taken to the air. “They started after me, when I was about halfway through, but they

also had a team working on it,” Mr Caudwell said. His decision to build the plane followed retirement from Cathay Pacific where he was captain of a Boeing 747, or jumbo jet. He chose the Sopwith Snipe (successor to the more famous Sopwith Camel) because of its use over France in the First World War by the Australian Flying Corps, the forerunner of the RAAF. The plane was never based in Australia.

“The Snipe replaced the Sopwith Camel in the last few years of the war and was used by the RAF until 1926 in Iraq and Turkey,” Mr Caudwell said. “Australian Elwyn Roy ‘Bo’ King was the top-scoring Snipe pilot, with seven kills. His actual tally was 26, but they were not all from the Snipe.” King, whose kill count made him the fourth “highest scoring” Australian pilot of the war, survived the conflict and died in 1941 aged 47.

Mr Caudwell said that after retiring, he wanted to learn new skills – metalwork, turning and fitting and working with wood – and handbuilding a plane seemed a fitting project. These skills and more were needed to follow blueprints sourced from Hedon Museum in England and magazines published in the United States. While Mr Caudwell’s Snipe will be on display at Tyabb Air Show on

Sunday 9 March, its inaugural flight is some months away. Once it has been issued a certificate of airworthiness, Mr Caudwell plans to head off into the wild blue yonder squeezed between two Vickers machineguns while sitting on a basket chair supported by the top of the fuel tank. “It’ll be all right,” he confidently said on Friday while sitting in the cockpit safely on the ground at Tyabb.

Along with the barbecue at the Rye store on Saturday 8 March will be a display of surfing memorabilia, including a replica of Duke Kahanamoku’s Australian board, which he first rode at Freshwater in NSW a century ago. The display includes hollow boards as well as boards and surfing items from most eras. PSC owners George Paterson, Mark Grayson, Dan and Ted Bainbridge and Peninsula board maker Clyde Laird will be on hand to answer question. Laird ran his Crystal Blue surf shop on the site now occupied by the store. Surf barbecue, midday-2pm, Peninsula Surf Centre, 2137 Point Nepean Rd, Rye (opposite Rye Yacht Club).

Friendship mission: Members of the Mornington Peninsula Friends of Lospalos tour group join their Timorese Friendship Commission counterparts along with cultural dancers outside the local government office in Lospalos during last year’s visit to East Timor.

More of Leste as shire strengthens Timor ties MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire plans to build an even closer working relationship with the people and institutions of East Timor, following a friendship tour of the fledgling nation last year. A report into the tour tabled at this month’s council meeting calls for the strengthening of the partnership between the shire and East Timorese government and community groups, with a strategic plan outlining efforts to expand the relationship to be tabled before council later this year. “This visit was the first council-supported, community-initiated cultural and friendship

tour to Lospalos, Timor Leste, that involved self-funded community members and supporters as the main participants,” the report tabled to council states. “It was also the first tour planned and developed by the Friends of Lospalos Committee. It provided supporters, committee members and some officers and councillors with a unique opportunity to consult with the Lospalos leadership about the future of the friendship relationship and to learn about and experience the social, economic and environmental realities facing our friends

in the Lospalos region.” The shire has a wellestablished “friendship city” relationship with the sub-district of Lospalos in Lautem district, headed by the Friends of Lospalos Committee. Among the 14 counsellors, shire officials and committee members joining last year’s tour were Crs Tim Rogers and Graham Pittock, community liaison officer Linda Wimetal, libraries arts and culture manager Geoff Carson and social planning and community development coordinator Jenny Macaffer. Chris Brennan

A NEW shop at Rye is raising awareness of environmental issues and organisations as well as donating profits from some sales to the Save Tootgarook Wetlands project. The Patagonia store “provides a gateway” to various causes by urging customers to sign up for newsletters and email lists of such organisations as White Tag, Light Up Autism Foundation, Save Rosebud Foreshore, Sea Shepherd, and Baluk Arts. “There are many issues that require exposure and we are doing our bit at the local level to raise awareness,” manager Heidi Duell said. She described Patagonia as an “ethical and environmentally conscious company”. Clothing, bags and wetsuits were made with “a strong emphasis on using ecologically sustainable raw materials” such as organic cotton, recycled polyester, hemp, chlorine-free wool and recycled nylon. “None of Patagonia’s products are produced in overseas sweatshops,” Ms Duell said. Surfboards by Phil Grace are being sold alongside artwork by Kim Lampton, Ian Bowers and Gidja Walker. Patagonia shop, 2411 Point Nepean Rd, Rye.

Picture story WITHOUT getting into any political, cultural or racial conflict with anyone, may I suggest that it was a disastrous choice to use the photo illustrating the article on the Australia Day celebration held by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association at the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bait-ul-Salem mosque (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cultural get-together on national dayâ&#x20AC;?, The News, 18/2/14).

Shire phone survey REGARDING the article about Mornington Peninsula Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual community satisfaction survey (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shire faces phone survey testâ&#x20AC;?, The News, 11/2/14), I was one of the lucky 400 recipients of a call. Questions ranged from road and footpath conditions, parking availability, access to arts facilities, their state of repair, aged care services, and environmental and planning performance. Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember more detail now, as the following night I was the fortunate phone owner to cop a survey into attitudes about Victoria Police, their trustworthiness, how safe I felt on roads and pathways during the day and at night, and if my area was subject to noisy parties, home invasions, vandalism and gangs. Meanwhile, on the bike path this morning I was on hands and knees trying to untangle the dog lead from my â&#x20AC;&#x153;mobility deviceâ&#x20AC;? aka scooter, when about 20 gents in lycra stopped to â&#x20AC;&#x153;render assistanceâ&#x20AC;?. They were riders from the Southern Peninsula U3A cycle group and were most efficient. Pity about the behaviour of one of my pooches who has an aversion to bicycles. The other, however, loved the attention, as did I. Thanks very much, chaps. Thanks also to the women riders who waited to ensure we were properly on our way. Fran Henke, Hastings

Financial strain

Editor: The picture, above, was supplied by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association. Send letters to the editor to The News, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915 or email: team@mpnews.com.au Do they understand the shire is committed to more than doubling its debt on only one project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre in Rosebud? What impact will this have on our services and rates? At the meeting we were informed by the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top finance executive, Marilyn Kearney, that state and federal government subsidies had been dramatically reduced. The shire is now obligated to make up that difference to continue providing services to ratepayers and residents. The shire also has to increase staff superannuation payments to 12 per cent. This and much more is putting greater financial strain on the shire. Assets are being sold and rates increased to combat this. Shire rate revaluations are being done on our homes this year (this now occurs every two years). House prices in Victoria have risen 10 per cent over the past 12 months to January 2014. My rates for a small, two-bedroom, 1970s-style home on a small block in Rosebud has increased by $166 over two years. My rates are now almost $1000. The shire has a high demographic of single pensioners. How long can they afford to continue to pay these massive increases? Why is the shire prepared to more than double its debt on one project in Rosebud? We employ shire staff through our rates to provide community services, roads and other infrastructure. We need leeway in the near future to borrow to provide these services and not max out the â&#x20AC;&#x153;credit cardâ&#x20AC;? now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially if we are to believe the Federal Treasurer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and plummet into financial hardship. Communities will suffer in these tight financial times. Doris Campbell, Rosebud

Intervention doco from John Pilger A FREE public screening of Utopia, John Pilgerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest documentary, will be held at Woodleigh Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior campus, 485 Golf Links Rd Langwarrin South, at 6.30pm on Friday 28 February. Pilger is known for controversial films that highlight injustice and campaign for human rights. Utopia is about the Northern Territory intervention, now renamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stronger Futuresâ&#x20AC;?, as well as exploring how Aboriginal land rights have been eroded by governmental legislation. It is a confronting and provocative look at the

realities currently faced by Aboriginal people living on traditional lands. The event is a combined effort of the school, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Concerned Australiansâ&#x20AC;? (a group of prominent Australians campaigning against the NT intervention and the erosion of Aboriginal land rights), Mornington Peninsula Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social planning unit, and Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association in Hastings.

Purple haze: A purple swamphen launches itself into the air from a pond, and a hen with her chick. Pictures: Leo Berzins and Ian Wallace

Why did the purple chicken cross the road? IF you’ve seen what looks like a purple chicken venturing forth from the cover of reeds with a very fluffy shadow, chances are you’ve spotted a purple swamphen and its chick. Watch out for these birds trying to make a mad dash across the road. The search for water brings purple swamphens close to roads. You may think they are not very smart when you see them darting backward and forward on the roadside, looking for an opportunity to cross. But they are not stupid or suicidal; they are attracted to roadside ditches and drains, a great source of water and food. “Slow down this month when driving, particularly after rains when

purple swamphens may be crossing,” said Ms Susanna Bradshaw, CEO of the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife, which runs the Backyard Buddies program encouraging people to look after native creatures. “As well as on the roadside, you’ll spot swamphens and their scruffy, strange-looking chicks near ponds and waterway,” Ms Bradshaw said. Swamphens can breed at any time of year, although August to February is popular. “If you see purple swamphen chicks, keep your distance as hens are very territorial during breeding season, and may even give you a peck. “They are usually quite shy, but when they have young ones they can

be very protective parents.” Ms Bradshaw said purple swamphens were common throughout Australia’s east and north, with an isolated population in the southwest. “Watch swamphens flicking their tails and grazing near freshwater creeks, swamps, and marshes as well as near stormwater treatment wetlands and along major urban rivers – anywhere there’s plenty of water, reeds and rushes,” she said. “These places offer swamphens the best areas to find food, build nests for breeding, and seek protection.” Purple swamphens can raise two lots of chicks a year if conditions are good. They lay an average of 5 eggs and help each other, even sharing the

responsibilities of sitting on the eggs, feeding the young and chasing away predators. “Hens form a large nest bowl of trampled reeds and rushes, and line it with softer reeds and grass. Look out for a platform of reeds just above the water surrounded by vegetation as this may be a swamphen nest,” Ms Bradshaw said. Purple swamphen have a distinctive red bill and forehead shield, red eyes and deep blue head and breast. In bright sunlight the plumage shines with an intense blue sheen. Their long, reddish legs with long, slender, unwebbed toes help them walk and feed in shallow water. A white undertail becomes visible as they flick

their tail up and down when walking. They are highly adaptable to changing environments – they can run, swim, fly and hide from predators. They are omnivores, eating a wide variety of plants and small animals including seeds, insects, frogs and aquatic vegetation. They also eat eggs and small mammals, and have the strength to pull up reeds and feed on the soft stems. Purple swamphens live in large extended family groups, while most birds live in pairs with only the current season’s chicks. “Purple swamphens are full of character and can provide a lot of amusement for the observer,” Ms Bradshaw said.

Groups in tune to stop shark cull By Keith Platt REACTION to the government-ordered shark cull in Western Australia has been quick and pointed from diverse sources on the Mornington Peninsula. Flinders federal MP Greg Hunt is in the front line, giving the WA government approval to kill three-metre plus sharks posing an “imminent threat” within one kilometre of the shore. In designating two shark management zones, Mr Hunt fell short of allowing an open slather cull. He defended criticism of his actions by citing ongoing shark kills by other states. Opposing the cull altogether is the peninsula-based Tag for Life organisation, which accused the WA government of killing sharks to increase its public approval rating. Musicians are also donating their time and talents to raise money to fight the shark cull with a concert at Baha Music Bar in Rye on Sunday 2 March. Tag for Life founder Kent Stannard, of Blairgowrie, said the WA government’s decision to cull sharks was a knee-jerk reaction to a series of fatal shark attacks. “We have a duty of care to protect all our native flora and fauna but the decision is not based on scientific advice and support,” Mr Stannard said. “Basically, the Western Australian government consulted with CSIRO [which conducts research with Tag for Life] and its chief shark scientist Rory MacAuley to determine a statistical number of white sharks that could

Shark protection: A white shark is caught and tagged for tracking by the Tag for Life organisation, which is mounting a protest against the Western Australian government’s sanctioning of a shark cull. Mornington Peninsula musicians are helping raise money for the protest with a concert on Sunday at Baha Music Bar in Rye.

safely be removed from the population without causing undue pressure and collapse of the species. “Bearing in mind no funding had been dedicated to either a short- or long-term research program on population size and spatial distribution of white sharks, this demand was ridiculous and placed unreasonable expectations on scientists. “The long and short of it is that the government was seeking an immediate fix to an issue that requires years of dedicated work.” Mr Stannard said Australia’s leading scientists were “completely ignored and [Premier] Colin Barnett headed down a track he was always heading down – buying popular votes and showing the public his government was actively doing something about the problem.”

“The law is sugar-coated and amounts to a cull, and has caused uproar among environmental and conservation groups,” he said. “Removing animals from the population will not necessarily reduce the incidence of shark attack.” Mr Stannard said small sharks – possibly protected species – struggling on lines could act as live bait, attracting larger sharks. “What we are seeing in WA is almost identical to what happened after a sequence of fatalities in South Australian waters in the early 2000s. “Neither situation suggests an explosion of the white shark population. “These animals are highly mobile and migratory, moving in response to environmental cues such as distribution of prey, variations in climate, and changes in water temperatures.”

Unproven theories about the increase in shark numbers included the rise in whale populations; exploitation of krill stock in Antarctic waters impacting on the health of whale calves and leaving them targets for sharks; increasing seal populations; fish moving closer to the shore in the Leeuwin current; buyback of commercial shark fisheries resulting in more prey for white sharks; and crayfishing moving closer to the coast. “Older surfers, abalone divers and commercial fishermen along the southwest coast near Margaret River are saying they had rarely seen a white shark until the past five or so years and there certainly had never been any fatalities. “Something has changed in the local environment for these animals to be residing off that southwest coast for

longer than they normally would. “It doesn’t mean their numbers are increasing or exploding. They are there for a reason, responding to an environmental cue.” Mr Stannard said scientific research was the only way to find answers. Short-term satellite tags and longterm acoustic tags could track migrating sharks. “Research is best served by tagging and tracking as many of the juvenile stock as possible, which will involve locating the species’ western nursery area. “Tagging adults only is not ideal as they are harder to find: there are fewer of them in the population, they are expensive to find and they don’t give an overall picture. “WA has a big coast and trying to locate a white shark would be like standing on the Sturt Highway to Darwin hoping to flag down a Ferrari.” Tag for Life has already fitted several juvenile sharks with long-term acoustic tags that will allow scientists to monitor habitat, age, survival rates, sibling relations, parental relations, how often females pup, how many parents remain in the population, and what parents are still alive. “The work we have been doing with CSIRO off the eastern seaboard including Bass Strait is a perfect template for WA,” Mr Stannard said.  The Shark Day fundraiser for Tag for Life is at Baha Music Bar, 2209 Point Nepean Rd, Rye, 3-6pm, Sunday 2 March featuring The Naked Chief and The Davidsons. Entry is $10. Details: 5985 2077.

The LEAP Program at Dromana College Find out how the LEAP accelerated learning program at Dromana College can realise your child’s greatest potential. WHAT IS THE LEAP PROGRAM?

LEAP stands for Learning Extension and Acceleration Program and is offered to a limited number of very capable and committed students. Suitable students will have academic skills above those of their age peer group.

HOW DOES THE LEAP PROGRAM WORK?

Students stay in the same form group for two years where an environment of high achievement is established and maintained. The standard curriculum is accelerated and subjects are explored in greater depth. In Year 9 and 10 each student will be on an individual timetable that caters to their abilities and strengths. Their timetable will allow them to access the senior school subjects. Students may subsequently choose to complete additional VCE units, broadening the range of subjects they have undertaken. In Year 12 the students will have access to the VCE extension studies, which allows them to complete a university subject as part of their VCE.

WHO SHOULD APPLY FOR THE LEAP PROGRAM?

The LEAP program will not suit every student who is academically talented. Students need to have a high level of maturity and commitment, and be capable of independent learning. The student should be eager to learn and capable of working well in group situations. LEAP participants will still be in a mixed-ability classroom; however, the range of abilities involved will be narrower than is the range found in a mainstream class.

HOW DOES A STUDENT QUALIFY FOR THE LEAP PROGRAM?

Students must sit an exam in August and, based on these results, 25 students will then be offered a place in the program in Year 7 at Dromana College. Places are limited and are based on academic merit. 110 Harrisons Road, Dromana, Victoria 3936 Entry via Old White Hill Road

Blue Ribbon goes green for hospitals GOLFERS will be aiming for gold when they tee off in this year’s Blue Ribbon Foundation Golf Day to Remember. President of the foundation’s peninsula branch Darryl Nation said golfers could “win a pot of gold” if they hit a hole in one during the St Patrick’s Day tournament. The Blue Ribbon Foundation perpetuates the memory of Victoria Police killed in the line of duty. Mr Nation said all money raised Day for the green: Aiming to raise $50,000 for hospital emergency departments with a golf tournament on St Patrick’s Day are Rossdale Golf Club manager Tim Hanton, Superintendent Neil Paterson, Blue Ribbon peninsula branch president Darryl Nation and Blue Ribbon committee member Dot Canepa who entered into the spirit of things by donning a leprechaun outfit.

would support Frankston and Rosebud hospitals’ emergency departments. “We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by the end of March to give to Rosebud Hospital’s emergency department and establish a memorial for a local police officer who lost his life in the line of duty,” he said. “It is sure to be a fantastic day of golfing with prizes and trophies for nearest the pin and longest drives.” Fields in the 18-hole stableford event tee off at 8am and 1pm with a shotgun start. The $80 entry includes lunch or dinner, refreshments and chance to win prizes and trophies. The Blue Ribbon Foundation Golf Day will be held at Rossdale Golf Course, Sixth Ave, Aspendale, on Monday 17 March. For details, call Ron Nation on 9775 5978.

Shire ‘no’ to extra Dromana pokies By Mike Hast THE shire council has knocked back the Peninsula Club’s application for 18 extra poker machines at its premises in Dromana. The council agreed the extra pokies, which would have taken the number from 20 to 38, “will have a detrimental social and economic impact on the Dromana township and will not achieve a net community benefit in accordance with ... the Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme”. “An increase in the number of EGMs at this location, having regard to the social and economic composition of the Dromana township, is excessive and unreasonable”, the council stated.

The club has not yet decided if it will challenge the decision in the state planning tribunal. The club is owned by Western Bulldogs AFL club, which saved Dromana-Red Hill RSL from oblivion when it closed with debts of $200,000. RSL secretary Pam Rowler stated in The News in January that the RSL continued to operate “because of the generous nature of the Peninsula Club and the support of the local community including more that 300 RSL members”. “The Peninsula Club is the official site for the Dromana Red Hill RSL and not only allows us to hold functions there but also welcomes the functions we hold. Because of the club, the RSL continues to financially support scholarships for

students of Dromana Primary School and Dromana Secondary College, donations to Dromana Preschool, and an extensive welfare program supporting veterans in need.” A report to councillors stated that the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation had set a cap on the number of poker machines on the peninsula – 1127. The peninsula has 826 at 17 venues but being below the cap was not a valid reason to allow more poker machines. The shire’s social planning department stated it had concerns the extra pokies:  Would create “unreasonable level of noise and impact on car parking”.  Encourage overcrowding at what was a comparatively small venue.  Encourage “convenience gambling” by people from the nearby elderly citizens club. The venue’s high visibility “will set a poor example to the community. Gambling is a sedentary pursuit [and] will have negative health impacts”. “Losses from gambling also contribute to negative emotional and psychological health ....”

The shire interviewed 80 residents and fewer than 25 per cent supported the extra pokies. “Dromana is an area of high socio-economic disadvantage on Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) estimates and therefore constitutes an area of high vulnerability,” the report stated. “Increased income will be used to support the operations of the Western Bulldogs ... and have minimal ... benefit to Dromana or the peninsula.” Shire officers admitted the council’s 2001 responsible gaming strategy was out of date, as was a gaming policy framework prepared in 2007 for southeast region councils including the shire. Peninsula Club is one of 17 venues on the peninsula with pokies, including seven on the southern peninsula – two in Dromana (the other, Stella’s Dromana Hotel, has 41 poker machines), three in Rosebud and two in Rye. In the 2012-13 financial year, gamblers lost $1.17 million at Peninsula Club. Total losses on the peninsula were $78.9 million, down slightly from the previous year.

‘Worth’ of Western Port explored WORLD renowned ecological economist Professor Robert Costanza is the key speaker at the “Valuing a Natural Western Port” seminar at Somers Yacht Club at 6pm on Tuesday 4 March. The event has been organised by Victorian National Parks Association and Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council. Professor Costanza is regarded as the founding father of ecological economics, and is the author or co-author of more than 500 scientific papers and 20 books. He holds a Chair in Public Policy at Australian National University’s Crawford School of Public Policy. Other speakers include representatives of Australian Conservation Foundation’s new

economics unit, the VNPA and WPPC. A VNPA spokesman said the proposed massive port at Hastings was being promoted as good for the economy, “but that’s not the full story”. “The port is a threat to the environment and recreation – oil spills, dredging, land clearing and thousands of ships a year will take a heavy toll on Western Port. “The seminar will explore the ‘natural’ value of Western Port and why it is worth more to the community than just as a shipping channel and port.” Book online at: www.eventbrite.com.au and look up the seminar title.

Focus on coast as Fox ‘wins’ extra beach By Mike Hast THE state government is unlikely to be successful in reversing a decision that saw billionaire trucking magnate Lindsay Fox given an extra 45 metres of prime beach at his Portsea property. An obscure state government policy – known as the doctrine of accretion – allows people with land adjoining beaches on old property titles to increase the size of their land when extra sand accumulates, or accretes. The government would likely have to fight any attempt to reverse the decision in the High Court of Australia. It was revealed nine days ago that on Christmas Eve the state land titles office granted Mr Fox a section of prime beach for his property at Point King on the border of Sorrento and Portsea. The news generated a wave of public criticism and saw Planning Minister Matthew Guy vow to bring in retrospective laws to stop Victoria’s coastline falling into private hands. It’s too late – many parts of the state’s coast are private property due to old titles. Mr Fox has been seeking the extra land since the 1990s, claiming the doctrine of accretion applied to his beach land claim and backing it with evidence from a coastal engineer. It has been estimated the extra land is worth more than $5 million. In 1999, Mr Fox erected bollards along the beach side of his property, generating an outcry from locals but no action by the state Labor government or the Liberal-Nationals Coalition elected in 2010. On Thursday, former Mornington

Sandman cometh: Point King Beach on the border of Sorrento and Portsea. Lindsay Fox’s “patch” is the green area behind the far jetty where he has built a two-storey beach house and a helipad for his helicopter. Picture: Keith Platt

Peninsula Shire councillor Leigh Eustace questioned the Fox decision. “The doctrine of accretion states any land claimed by a person must be a permanent increase,” he said. “Is the extra beach permanent? This section of the coast has undergone radical change just in the past few years. “Extra sand on the beach closest to the water has come as a result of Port

of Melbourne’s channel deepening.” Mr Eustace said recently retired Port of Melbourne CEO Stephen Bradford had consistently said the sand at Portsea Beach would return over time, and that Port Phillip’s beaches were dynamic environments with sand coming and going. “If you look at an aerial photo of Point King beach from January 2009,

the jetty next to Mr Fox’s property reaches water but is now completely out of the water at low tide,” he said. All this had occurred in a short period of time. Mr Eustace said the shire faced a similar situation when Mt Eliza millionaire Charles Jacobsen first sought to realign property titles at his historic Norman Lodge property in 2007.

Mr Jacobsen told the council the high water mark in front of his beach house on Moondah Beach between Sunnyside and Kunyung roads would legally allow him to fence off the beach but he would not do so as blocking it was against the public interest. The Norman Lodge property was settled by the Grice family in the 1860s and is one of several properties between Mornington and Frankston with high water mark boundaries. Others are at Sorrento and Portsea. Mr Eustace said the issue of properties “owning” beaches dated back to the 1800s when governments regularly sold land abutting waterways. Revisions of land rules in 1905 and 1958 had not removed the waterway anomalies. Last week, Mr Guy reportedly said the government was “aware of the significance of this issue”. He said property owners with historic waterway titles would want the same deal, and the government did not want to lose hundreds of square metres of public beach. The government would now clarify the official location of the high water mark across the whole state, he said.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Ti-tree to blame for coastal fires; Frankston ladies meet to raise funds Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 28 February 1914 THE recent destructive ti-tree fire at Chelsea has had the effect of leading to some interesting investigations by Mr T. S. Hart, head of the Creswick Forestry School, with the object of ascertaining how danger from such out-breaks may be averted in the future. Mr Hart made the results of his observations public at a meeting of the Field Naturalists’ Club of Victoria, in a paper entitled Some Coastal Plants: Their Shelter and Fire Danger. Ti-tree, he said, had many times demonstrated its danger as a highly inflammable plant, but to eradicate it from the seashore would lead only to sand becoming a great nuisance. Vegetation was necessary to keep the sand in place, and to protect habitations from its being piled against them. There were native plants of a fire resisting character which could affect this, notably the coast wattle, the sea berry, and Boobialla. At one place at Chelsea, where the coast wattle was growing, he noticed the fire had considerably lessened, and he had come to the conclusion that the danger of fire in such areas could be considerably decreased by encouraging the natural growth of such plants. There was no reason why they could not be planted in strips among the ti-tree to a sufficient width to check a fire. Thus a diversified scrub, much more pleasing to the eye than pure ti-tree, would be produced, and the requirements of shelter and sand binding be at the same time secured. Boobialla would take first place, as

it was easily grown and would carry foliage to the ground. There was no reason why paths through the scrub or fire breaks should not be bordered with these fire-resisting trees. *** ABOUT a dozen Frankston ladies met at the Bar View Hotel on Wednesday evening for the purpose of arranging a sale of gifts to raise funds for the maintenance of the Frankston cot in the Convalescent Home. A strong committee of ladies and gentlemen was formed, with Mrs A. H. Gregory president, Mrs Wilcox treasurer, and Mrs Deane secretary. It was decided that the sale of gifts be held on Easter Monday afternoon and night. It was so agreed that a portion of the funds be set aside to help pay the hospital expenses incurred during the illness of a Frankston child. *** THE teachers, parents and friends of the Pearcedale Sunday School met together in the Pearcedale Hall on the 17th inst., and presented Mr Bert Jarvis with a silver breakfast cruet and silver pickle jar, on the occasion of his marriage with Miss E. Marshall, of Ellinbank. Mr Craig, in a few well-chosen words, spoke of how well Mr Jarvis had worked in the Sunday School as superintendent, and his leaving will be greatly felt by the teachers and parents. A very pleasant evening was spent, games taking up most part of the evening. Supper was served by the ladies, after which the Doxology was sung. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co. will hold their monthly auction sale of cattle, etc., at Tanti on Monday next.

*** A valuable horse, belonging to Mr Blacker, of Mornington, broke its leg in the paddock on Saturday last, and had to be destroyed. The horse was valued at £45. ***

Ti-tree, he said, had many times demonstrated its danger as a highly inflammable plant, but to eradicate it from the seashore would lead only to sand becoming a great nuisance.

ON Sunday afternoon, Mr A. Connell, of Osborne, was surprised to find one of his horses, valued at £10, on the roadside with its shoulder broken. *** THE annual sports meeting at Moorooduc has been arranged to be held at the usual place on Wednesday, 25th March. An attractive

programme is being arranged, and an enjoyable day is anticipated. Full particulars will be advertised later. *** MESSRS Appleyard, Beecher, Macfarlan and Stringer, storekeepers, were prosecuted at the Sorrento Court on Wednesday, for having sold patent medicines containing poison without holding licences. In each case a fine of 1s with £2 2s costs was imposed. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston branch of the M.U.I.O.O.F., Mrs C. Dalman, of Frankston, was made the recipient of a set of silver afternoon tea spoons, in an oak case, and serviette ring, as a slight recognition of the services she has rendered to that lodge for the last few years. Bro. V. Crosekell made the presentation, through Bro. Dalman, and spoke in eulogistic terms of the many kindnesses Mrs Dalman had bestowed upon the lodge. Bro. Dalman, on behalf of his wife, suitably returned thanks, and said whatever his wife had done it was always for the good and welfare of the lodge. *** THE Sydney “Bulletin” says: Rosa Alba is a gentle alias of a little lady who, in the intervals of helping a parson husband in Melbourne occasionally, raises a nice soprano in charity’s aid. Some mission movement lately induced her to show the dimensions of her gift on a recent evening, and before the entertainment had expired, she had to take shelter from the bouquets. In fact, she was such a success that people are now advising her to take her

warble to a bigger market. Miss Alba, who is beset with good looks, bears an embarrassing resemblance to Miss Gaby Deslys, the hussy who flirted with ex-King Manuel when that juvenile’s kingdom was bursting. *** ENTRIES for the Dromana District sports close with the secretary at 8pm on Saturday next, 7th March. Pedestrians are reminded that nominations for the Naval Base sports must be in the hands of the secretary by 6pm on Monday next. Acceptances due at 5 p.m. on 12th March. *** THE annual allocation of the Parliamentary grant to assist municipalities in the construction, repair and maintenance of roads and bridges was announced on Wednesday by Mr Hagelthorn, Minister of Public Works. This is probably the last of such allocations to be made by the Public Works department for as soon as the operations of the Country Roads Board are in full swing the scope which the annual vote has covered will come within the purview of the board. That has, to some extent been done already, and as a result the present vote is in the aggregate substantially smaller than it has hitherto. Last year’s grant amounted to about £46,000. This year it is only £24,050. The details of the allocation in the Peninsula are as follows: Flinders and Kangerong Shire, towards road to Tulum Beach, £50, Council to expend £50 additional. Frankston and Hastings Shire, towards Eramosa road, east of railway line, £100, Council to spend £100 additional.

Getting kids back to nature A FESTIVAL for children aims to tackle “nature deficit disorder”, which some experts argue links children’s declining engagement with the outdoors to myriad issues from depression to obesity. The inaugural Kids’ Adventure Festival will provide children and parents with the opportunity to experience adventure activities specifically designed for the younger generation, with walks, runs, climbs, rides and plenty more “wild” play planned for the weekend event.

Thomas Dolby: he blinded me with genius By Stuart McCullough IT’S always been this way. Each generation declares their music to be better than the one that succeeds them. Growing up in the eighties, those of my parents’ era had a pretty powerful case to make – they had The Beatles, The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones, whilst my teenage cohorts and I had to make do with Haircut 100 and The Thompson Twins. Granted, we had The Stones too, but it was during their far less successful pastel-suit wearing human-Muppet phase rather than, say, their living in the south of France and jamming with Gram Parsons stage. It hardly seemed fair. But even when the radio is cluttered with absolute rubbish, there’s always the occasional victory for good taste. In spite of everything, someone will – against the odds – manage to slip through the pack and deliver something of true and lasting quality. These are the mavericks and, over time, it’s their work that I’ve most come to appreciate. These are the folks who, on paper, are more likely to end up delivering your mail than they are to make the world want to whistle. Of all the eccentric talents to emerge in the eighties, none seemed more unlikely than Thomas Dolby. To begin, anyone described as a ‘boffin’ is unlikely to produce any song of note. But Thomas, without doubt, was a boffin of serious dimensions. As a child, he was fascinated with the synthesiser, even building his own. He’s best remembered for that most unlikely of hits, She Blinded Me With

Science. Lyrically improbable and undeniably strange, it managed to emerge from the muck in 1982. But it’s not my Dolby tune. That honour belongs to the tune, Hyperactive!. Far too few songs include punctuation. Granted, there are some which rely on a question mark (Do You Know the Way to San Jose? by Dionne Warwick and How Much is that

the necessary standard. So it fell to the author to record it himself. Aside from the exclamation mark of the song’s title, the next remarkable thing about it is its brazen use of trombone. As fine an instrument as the trombone is, it’s rare that it should be used anywhere outside of jazz. Granted, Lady Gaga’s original version of Poker Face was performed solely on trombone and an empty jar of peanut butter but was so heavily remixed as to be wholly unrecognisable. It’s not a mistake that Thomas Dolby would make. Trombone aside, the song begins with a man inviting the singer to tell him about his childhood. This cunning therapeutic overlay then provides the environment for a couch-side confession. Thomas claims that at the ‘tender age of three’ he was hooked to a machine. What kind of machine is left to the imagination. Washing machine? Betamax video recorder? Kettle? According to the lyrics, toddler Thomas is strapped to an unidentified appliance to prevent him from ‘spouting junk’. To be fair, at three years old his vocabulary would have been limited. What follows next, however, stretches credulity to breaking point. Dolby claims that they took him for a ‘fool’, but it gets worse. He then claims to have been expelled because ‘…the teacher knew I had the funk’. Having been tied to some kind of household equipment, young Thomas has his education cruelly curtailed on the basis of a fondness for polyrhythm. If there’s the slightest skerrick of truth to this, it would surely be an outrage. It’s little wonder that he

Doggie In the Window? by Metallica spring to mind), but rare indeed is the tune that can deploy an exclamation point and live to tell the tale. Suffice to say, Wind Beneath My Wings! would have been a very different song indeed. Hyperactive! was originally intended for Michael Jackson but, presumably, was deemed not to meet

ended up with the behavioural issues that are detailed elsewhere in Hyperactive!. The singer then claims he was ‘hyperactive’ pretty much everywhere including his ‘bones’ and, somewhat preposterously, ‘your phones’. I’m not sure how anyone can seriously claim to be agitated in a communication device. It was, perhaps, a bridge too far. The problem with mavericks is that they’re either in it for the long haul or fade from view. Thomas Dolby made some more records but they didn’t achieve nearly the same kind of notoriety. But then he did what all good eccentrics do and reinvented himself, forming a technology company responsible for – amongst other things – the Nokia ringtone – thus, finally delivering on the promise he made a decade earlier. It may well have been his most ubiquitous hit. In some ways, it was a fitting end for the most unlikely of pop stars. For some, music is a trivial thing and songs like those of Thomas Dolby serve as ammunition. But I disagree. Sometimes wading into matters inconsequential is just another way of keeping everything in perspective. For better or for worse, a song that is as unimportant as Hyperactive! has stayed with me when all manner of more significant things have withered. Oddly, I probably think it’s a better song than I used to. We are all drawn to romanticising the past, particularly our own. I don’t know for sure whether Thomas ever got to complete his education. What I do know, however, is that wherever he is, he’ll undoubtedly still have ‘the funk’. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Mornington Peninsula News Group

Performance QUEEN has become the first act to sell six million copies of an album in the UK three decades after the record was released. The band, featuring the late Freddie Mercury on vocals, reached the milestone with the Greatest Hits album originally released in 1981. Queen released their debut single Keep Yourself Alive in 1973 which failed to chart. Later that year they began a UK tour as support to Mott the Hoople and in early 1974 their album release Queen II climbs into the Top 10 UK Albums chart and the single Seven Seas of Rhye makes its way up the UK chart. Queen II then makes the US Top 100 Albums chart, peaking at number 49. In 1975 the group signs with Elton John’s manager, John Reid. Their long-time engineer Roy Baker decides to take the band into the studio to record a new album. Baker decides to produce the album using six different studios. First product of the album sessions is the classical rock piece Bohemian Rhapsody, a lavish production featuring Mercury’s rock operatic writing style. The record company is reluctant to release the 7-minute single, but a copy is leaked to top British DJ Kenny Everett which creates a sales demand through heavy airplay. Bohemian Rhapsody tops the UK chart for nine weeks, the longest run at number 1 since Paul Anka’s Diana in 1957. In 1976, Bohemian Rhapsody is released in the US and goes into the Top 10 there. Many hit singles followed including I Want To Break Free, Somebody To Love, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Are the Champions, A Kind Of Magic and many more. Freddie Mercury (real name Farookh Bulsara) was born in Zanzibar and attended school in Bombay, India.

her five-piece band at eight Australian shows when she tours in March as part of her Storm & Grace World Tour. It’s her first Australian tour in eight years. With all the hoopla that has surrounded her, it’s easy to forget that Lisa Marie Presley is at heart a simple Southern girl whose earliest musical memories are of obsessively listening to 45s in her bedroom at Graceland and her dad catching her singing into a hairbrush in front of a mirror at the age of three. The Memphis-born Presley reclaims those roots on her latest album Storm and Grace released in Australia in 2012. It’s an Americana-inspired showcase for her song writing talent and smoldering alto voice. Produced with elegant restraint by 12-time Grammy Award winner T Bone Burnett, Storm and Grace is a marked departure from Presley’s previous albums, 2003’s gold-certified To Whom It May Concern and 2005’s Now What, which both debuted in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart. “I love the songs, but I think I was hiding behind a lot of sonic layers because it was scary to go out there,” Presley says. “It’s easier to bury yourself in the noise so you don’t stand out. This album is a lot more stripped down and naked, both musically and lyrically.” Lisa Marie Presley will appear at the Arts Centre Melbourne, Tuesday 25 March. Bookings 1300 182 183. Frankston Arts Centre on Saturday March 29. Bookings 9784 1060. www.lisamariepresley.com www.duetgroup.com

He was the driving force behind Queen and made the band a British institution. Queen’s final performance was at a festival appearance at Knebworth in 1986, after which Mercury gradually retired from public life. Mercury’s final album with Queen, Innuendo was released in 1991. Mercury died at his home in West London in November 1991. Mercury’s AIDS diagnosis was kept secret until the day before he died; when it was evident he was ailing fast. *** THE Boy from Oz is BACK! This time in his own show. Todd McKenney is performing the songs of Peter Allen in a high energy, vibrant and entertaining night that showcases Todd’s incredible talents. His Victoria and NSW tour, commencing on 4 April, will perform in 12 venues across Victoria and NSW during April and May. You will be entertained by one of the nation’s best-loved performers; a multi-talented star that first slipped on his dancing shows at the tender age of three. However, it wasn’t until he landed the role of Peter Allen in The Boy

From Oz 14 years ago that he found his true passion. Todd became a household name after taking on the role of iconic Aussie performer Peter Allen in the original 1998 Production of The Boy From Oz. Now he’s set to reprise that role with a bit of a twist. He’s the all-singing, all-dancing Aussie stage sensation with a wonderful acerbic wit and irreverent sense of humour. He’s as fit as he’s ever been and matches Peter’s own amazing energy throughout the show. This show does not just feature Peter Allen’s hits. Todd also includes songs from some of his earlier musical theatre performances and you’ll hear stories and anecdotes about Allen, as well as all the goss from TV show Dancing With The Stars. The Boy From Oz opens at The Palms at Crown, Friday 11 April. Tickets 132 849. Frankston Performing Arts Centre, Saturday 31 May bookings on 9784 1060. www.toddmckenney.com.au *** LISA Marie Presley will perform with

ON and on they go ad infinitum: developing a quality education curriculum, literacy and mathematics, non-political amidst many contradictions. Spare us, please. “Parents want it, many education experts and teachers desire it.” Nonsense, as in political balderdash. Appoint me to this Curriculum Review. I’d make ARTS, of the performing, visual, writing variety, compulsory. Too dangerous? We can’t risk the ankle biters becoming too creative? *** “THE best way to deal with criticism is to have an open dialogue and not be afraid to expose silly and absurd comments for what they are and respond in kind,” says human rights commissioner Tim Wilson. True Tim, so what shall we do about Joe Hockey’s amazing “the end of the age of entitlement” declaration with no mention of negative gearing? *** “IT’S all happening” as Bill Lawry would say. An efficiency study of the ABC and SBS, royal commissions into the Labor government’s home insulation program and union corruption. It’s all very well to investigate corruption but can Tony be trusted to make it non-political? And after a year and many millions, even if they find something will it reappear in another form within the following 12 months? Bill says it’s a police matter, but what if some of the police are involved; no

witnesses, no result? *** AS far as I’m aware our government withdrew support for the United Nations resolution to stop all Israeli settlement activities in occupied territories. Our generous foreign minister Julie Bishop added: “I would like to see where international law has declared Israeli settlement illegal”. Too true. God promised them that land in the first place, according to witnesses. *** THERE was some criticism of Tony’s speech at the Davos World Economic Forum with the inference of embarrassment at the mention of local political matters (Labor mismanagement). This silly question of pride again, ignoring the real possibility of the others in attendance being equally as selfish and single minded and not necessarily any more intelligent. *** WE wait patiently for promised cheaper power and security of supply. All so expensive: Australia Post, water, gas, electricity, tollways, on and on. Some blame the CEOs. The CEOs blame the shareholders. Companies don’t create jobs anymore, they shove them overseas for extra moola. Low-life profiteers have us by the throat, my friends. It’s likely the pollies are shareholders along with union bosses in superannuation schemes. Kennett’s Curse; no escape. ***

INDOCTRINATION, brainwashing and the like (human nature) can be a form of fascination. You have a million dollar house and you’re qualified to advise a renter and even if you hold your tongue you may experience a warm feeling of superiority. In 40 years of theatre I experienced many directors, name actors and audience members with similar feelings. I was lucky; I could pick them from afar. A step up on the superiority ladder via networking. Common of course, both sexes. I’ve spotted it from some members at my local RSL? I wonder if they know how much they’re showing it, or care? *** Pot Peter Reith: “the ABC’s bias is cultural, deeply ingrained and not about to stop”. *** SYDNEY Swans footballer Rhyce Shaw on his brother, former Collingwood champion now Greater Western Sydney vice-captain Heath Shaw: “He’s been through a fair bit. It’s pretty hard leaving a club your family’s played for, that you’ve grown up loving, that you’ve played nearly 10 years for.” Thanks Nathan, thanks Eddie, thanks Tony Shaw. *** Aside from corruption within the superannuation industry (my opinion only based on human nature), the biggest embarrassments for me as an Australian is the gutless approach from both sides of politics on the handling

at 7.30am and finish at Gosches Paddock, Olympic Blvd, Melbourne at 9.30am where they will be greeted by air force and military bands, live music of the bygone era, food stalls and photo galleries. The commemorative public run acknowledges and honours the significance of the military to Australia’s defence in the lead up to the 100th anniversary of the landing of ANZAC troops at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. The Anzac Run has the support of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the RSL and Legacy along with The Chairman of the Victorian ANZAC Centenary Committee and former Victorian premier Ted Baillieu, former prime minister John Howard and the patron is Melbourne businessman Gerry Ryan. Major General David McLachlan AO (Retd) state president Victorian Branch RSL said: “The RSL in Victoria is pleased to endorse the inaugural ANZAC Run on 21 April. It is a great way for us all to show our support for the members of our Defence Force and ex-service personnel and to remember those who fought so valiantly during the Great War. I urge anyone who can run or walk to participate in this historic event in the lead up to the centenary of ANZAC in 2015.” The commemorative run is open to people from all walks of life, both current and ex-servicemen and women and their families, along with the general public.

A Grain of Salt THE problem with politicians is not knowing the real person until it’s too late. Julia impressed as Kevvy’s number two answering questions on television as a rare delight. Then ‘wham!’: Kevvy is gone for previously unknown reasons and a different Julia emerges? Tony calmed us to some extent with pre-election promises not to reduce funding to our national broadcaster, a solemn promise to make no significant changes to industrial relations law in its first term and comments like “Our job is to set the best possible framework for businesses to flourish, for jobs to be secure and for workers to earn high wages”. Again, a different person emerges from the woodwork. We live, we rarely learn. *** DOUBT is the essence of knowledge. No argument there. But why bring up the case of Woody Allen and Dylan Farrow from 21 years ago which first surfaced 19 years back when a New York judge decided there was insufficient evidence to proceed with charges? One word against another can rarely be proven. Easier to work out our place in the cosmos. More interesting is why so many people have fixed opinions on guilt or innocence without knowledge? Schapelle Corby, Lindy Chamberlain. Based on what? Swisse Wellness pills? A funny old world. Maybe a simpler life can be had by removing doubt? ***

By Cliff Ellen

of those desperate people trying their luck on a boat. Our mate Kevvy said no refugees would ever set foot on Australian soil, Julia followed suit, now Tony. I’m more concerned about these actions in our name than either government spending “our money”. *** Things could be worse: A friend of mine’s wife insists on watching A Current Affair and My Kitchen Rules... Kim Wells at the tennis, like darling Christine Nixon having a feed; so what?...nice to see Liberal MP Sharman Stone point out Tony’s lies in the SPC saga, but where was our Billy boy Shorten? Organising his overseas trip to Paris and London?...National Party leader and minister for agriculture Barnaby Joyce is about as effective right now as Billy Boy...It’s the old saying “It doesn’t matter who you vote for you still finish up with a politician”...You learn to ignore the mongrel things of this world, run your own race, then 11-year-old Tyabb boy Luke Batty’s story comes along, and it gets to you.

One dayers to decide season PROVINCIAL By IT Gully THE make-up of the MPCA Provincial ladder will not be decided until the conclusion of this weekend’s final home and away clash. Whilst Sorrento and Mornington have locked away the top two places on the ladder, the race for third and fourth place is well and truly on. Long Island currently sits third after thrashing Langwarrin at Ballam Park on Saturday. The Islanders are on 84 points, a game clear of fourth placed Mt Eliza, fifth placed Baxter and sixth placed Langwarrin. The Mounties, Baxter and Langwarrin are all on 72 points and are separated marginally by percentage (1.2525, 1.2162 and 1.2030 respectively).

Mt Eliza had a great chance to grab a finals place on Saturday but couldn’t defend its 265 against Moorooduc. Baxter had a massive chance to get an outright win against Heatherhill but failed to do so while Langwarrin couldn’t hunt down the 142 runs needed for victory against the Islanders. The whole season will come down to one day’s cricket this Saturday. Mt Eliza and Long Island should be the teams that make it. Mt Eliza has the easiest of the matches for the final game against Mt Martha. The Reds are on the bottom of the ladder and whilst they’ll make one last ditch effort to avoid relegation, they’ll likely be no match for the Mounties. Langwarrin faces Moorooduc, who ran down 268 to beat Mt Eliza in a thriller.

Long Island has to travel to Sorrento and Baxter faces Mornington at the kennel. The safe bet would be for the top two teams of the competition to win those clashes. However, any bowling attack that has Andrew Tweddle and Scott Phillips in it must be considered a reasonable chance to win. Langwarrin was bowled out for 66 by Long Island on Saturday, following on from their 140 the match before against Crib Point. Coming off a full week of representing the MPCA at Country Week, Phillips and Tweddle tore through the Kangas, bowling 27 overs each and both picking up five wicket hauls. ‘Phillipsitis’ was predicted for Langwarrin and that’s exactly what happened. The right arm quick snared

Danny Weare for four, Ben Wells for eight and Andy Johnson for one to turn the match upside down. Phillips finished with figures of 5/31. Tweddle then took three of the final four wickets to finish with 5/32. Moorooduc was in some real trouble early in the match against Mt Eliza at 6/138, but Jarryd Bailey guided his team home with an unbeaten 77, his second big score in as many matches. Nick Williams was also integral in the win, picking-up his second half century in two matches with 55. When Sushant Gupta was sent packing, the Mounties appeared to be in the box seat with the score 8/229. However, Reece Cordeaux (24) hung around long enough with Bailey to get within three runs of victory. Bailey then scored the winning runs on the fifth

ball of the 83rd over. Baxter needed just nine wickets on day two of its match to pick up an outright win against Heatherhill. After bowling the Hills out for 85 on day one of the match and smacking a quick-fire 3/133 themselves, Baxter resumed having the visitors on 1/17. However, Heatherhill resisted and finished on 6/147, Nathan Martin getting an unbeaten 70. Ryan O’Connor took 4/32 and Nick Davern 3/62 in Sorrento’s big win over Crib Point. After making 4/330, Sorrento rolled the Magpies for 177. Mt Martha and Rye went head to head to avoid relegation on Saturday. Rye won the match on first innings, scoring 7/133 in reply to Mt Martha’s 99.

Race on in District finals push DISTRICT By IT Gully SEAFORD Tigers, Somerville and Main Ridge will all be fighting it out for the final two finals places on the MPCA District ladder this Saturday. This Saturday’s one-day matches are the last of the home and away season, with the Tigers, Eagles and Ridge all needing to win to have any hope of progressing through to the final four. Delacombe Park and Pines will definitely play finals after sealing the top two places on Saturday. Main Ridge has the easiest of matches this weekend, facing bottom of the table Ballam Park. Somerville has to play the unpredictable Carrum while Seaford Tigers face Pines. Seaford Tigers had a wonderful opportunity to wrap-up a place in the finals but couldn’t beat their neighbour Seaford. After bowling out Seaford for 172 last week, the Tigers resumed at 0/12. However, they choked and were rolled for just 107. Mathew Herbert was superb for Seaford with 4/28 while Geoff Smith also claimed 4/35 from 24 overs. Delacombe Park was in cruise control against Somerville on Saturday.After rolling the Eagles for 78 last week, the Parkers resumed at 1/69, just 10 runs from victory. They finished on 7/206, Nick Christides top scoring with 75 and Chris Brittain making 32. Pines picked up an outright win against Ballam Park as expected. The Piners rolled the Knights on day one of the clash for 91 before scoring 157 themselves and declaring. Ballam Park then went for the reverse outright. It was worth a try but they came unstuck. The Knights made 7/174 in their second innings before sending Pines back in. The Piners made 6/112 in 14 overs to claim the outright.

PAGE 52

Jake Prosser top scored with an unbeaten 47 and Bret Remy opened with 35. Flinders resumed at 3/29 against Boneo on Saturday and were eventually rolled for 118. Jack Fowler claimed 4/49 and Chris Jobling 3/16 for Boneo. Flinders’ opening batsman Tim Clarke top scored with 31. Spencer Byatt, who scored 63 in the first innings for Boneo, hit 41 in the second innings. Main Ridge needed something special to happen on Saturday against Hastings and it did. Things needed to fall in to place for the Ridge. Their outright victory and Seaford’s upset win over the Tigers placed them in the box seat for a finals berth. The Ridge resumed at 1/92 in reply to Hastings’ 132. They declared at 3/210 from 41 overs before sending Hastings back in. Nick Gage made 66 and Brad Rossborough 51 to give him more than 400 runs this season. Mitch Floyd then scored 50 in Hastings’ second innings after his side had slumped to 6/55. Ben Johnson also scored 27 to help the Blues to 143. The Ridge then needed only 17 overs to pick up the 60-odd runs it needed to claim an outright win. Chris Barker top scored with an unbeaten 31. Carrum was able to turn things around on Saturday against Baden Powell but it wasn’t enough to win the match. Carrum was in all sorts of bother against the Braves at 4/19 overnight, chasing 222. However, Shaun Foster, who batted at seven after starring for the MPCA at Country Week, finished unbeaten on 74 to help his side to 163. Hayden Moulton opened with 58. Nathan Rice finished with four wickets for the Braves while Brendan Jovic helped himself to three wickets.

Stonecats in finals SUB-DISTRICT

Batting on: Main Ridge’s District final hopes are still alive after seeing off Hastings. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By IT Gully FRANKSTON YCW will play finals for the first time in a long time after getting a win against Carrum Downs on Saturday. The Stonecats are now in second place on the MPCA Sub District ladder on 80 points, two games behind Red Hill (104 points). The fight for the remaining two finals spots is well and truly on. Balnarring and Rosebud are both on 72 points while Pearcedale and Skye are a game further back on 60 points. The Stonecats play Red Hill this week in the final game of the season, a one-day match. Even if the Stonecats were to lose, they cannot now miss finals. They could drop to fourth and lose a home final should results elsewhere go against them though. Balnarring or Rosebud will possibly miss finals. They play one another this weekend. However, they both could still

make it if Carrum Downs can beat Pearcedale or Tyabb can beat Skye. It’s going to be an enthralling final round. YCW made 8/308 in its first innings and needed to take 19 wickets on Saturday to win the match outright. The Cougars resumed at 1/42. Seasoned campaigners Paul Bradley and Andrew Kitson took four wickets each in the first innings to roll the Cougars for 185. Adam Muirhead then picked up 5/9 in the second innings to help dismiss the Cougars for 57 in their second innings. Kitson took two second innings’ wickets. Skye never recovered from being 2/18 overnight against Balnarring, chasing 270. Leigh Smith was stranded at the end unbeaten on 33 and his side was all out for 134. Balnarring went for the outright but Skye ended the day on 3/80. Tootgarook found the chase of 256 to beat Rosebud all too hard.

Jason Nagel was at his best for the Buds with 4/62 with the ball and Brian Doughty snared 3/41 to help roll the Tooters for 166. Pearcedale and Tyabb played a one day match, the Panthers getting across the line with an over to spare. In an emotional day for the clubs following the death of young Tyabb cricketer Luke Batty, the Yabbies batted first and made 9/163 from 40 overs. Luke Rus top scored with 50 and Ben Van Wees opened with 42. Pearcedale openers Brad Trotter (62) and Matt Cousland (46) then got their side away to a flier with a 79-run opening partnership. Chris Dew then added 33 to help his side to 4/164 in 39 overs. Red Hill got the job done against Dromana. After making 9/227 on day one, the Hillmen then sent the Hoppers packing for 96. Brent Martin picked up 3/12 from 10.3 overs for the Hillmen while Ross Corfield snared 3/18 from 13 overs.

Baden Powell powers to title COUNTRY WEEK By IT Gully BADEN Powell are Twenty20 state champions after beating Doutta Stars at the MCG last Friday. Doutta Stars were bowled out for 65 before the Braves got the runs with four wickets down. Rhys Elmi top scored with 17 while Sam Mullavey was not out at the end on 10. With five wins in the MPCA Jack Peacock Cup last season, and five wins in the Statewide Cup this season, the Braves took a 10-game winning streak to the ‘G’. MPCA goes close to title The Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association went within 40 runs of claiming the title of best association in country Victoria last week. After winning its opening four matches of the Country Week titles, the MPCA could not track down the 209 set by Geelong in the Grand Final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It was another brilliant performance from the MPCA and there were many highlights throughout the carnival. Dale Irving claimed 3/16, Scott

Phillips 2/15, Andrew Tweddle 2/17 and Lyle House 2/10 in the first match against Bairnsdale at Camberwell Sports Ground. The MPCA rolled the opposition for 92 before scoring 7/339. Carrum’s Shaun Foster scored 105 and Phillips 100 in the big win, while Long island team mate Justin Bridgeman hit 51 and Main Ridge’s Gareth Wyatt an unbeaten 46. In the second match against Murray Valley, Foster was amongst the runs again, top scoring with 74, while skipper Daniel Warwick scored 31. The MPCA scored 186 in reply to the opposition’s 9/145 in 50 overs. Phillips was again amongst the wickets with 3/23 while Mornington’s Luke Popov and Lyle House each picked-up two wickets. The MPCA played Sale-Maffra on the third day, winning comfortably with plenty of overs to spare. After bowling out the combine for 177 in 45.5 overs, Mornington Peninsula scored 7/213 in just 40 overs. Long Island pace partners Andrew Tweddle and Phillips snared 3/32 and 3/21 respectively, while Delacombe Park skipper Chris Brittain pickedup 2/37. In the run chase, it was Phil-

lips who starred with the bat with 90, while POB gloveman Wade Pelzer scored an unbeaten 41. Against Bendigo on day four, the MPCA batted first and scored 8/186, Warwick scoring 50, Brittain 32 and Irving 30. They then bowled out Bendigo for just 123 in 30 overs, Wyatt picking up 2/1 off four balls, while Popov and Irving also snared two wickets each. O’Malley on fire The Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association also had a team playing in Division Two of the championships. Whilst they didn’t share the same success as the Division One team, it did provide some of the young stars of the competition with a taste of representative cricket. In the first match against Traralgon, Carrum 18-year-old quick Lachy Dobson took 3/30 and Langwarrin teenager Matt Davie snared 3/40. Boneo’s Spencer Byatt top scored with 58 in the first game and finished the carnival with 89 runs. Peninsula Old Boys’ Dylan O’Malley scored 50 and Long Island opener Aaron Paxton hit 32 in

crossed from Berwick, Tyson Daniel and Shelton Rosario. Kieran Albanese, who kicked more than 70 goals in the Under 18s at Frankston YCW last year, also returns home to the Kangas.

Landing at the nest Dimkos leaves Yabbies LANGWARRIN has pulled off a massive coup, signing Tyabb favourite son Matty Dimkos. Dimkos has been a star performer for the Yabbies over the years in many roles as a defender, forward and onballer. Kangas coach Gavin Artico said he had always been impressed with Dimkos’ commitment, even when his side was struggling in recent seasons. It’s a major blow to the Yabbies. Tyabb coach Ray Hallal posted a message on Facebook last week assuring the public that Tyabb Football Club was not about to fold. However, we do hear that numbers at training aren’t great. Dimkos joins Dromana premiership players Liam Hogan and Luke O’Neil at the Kangas, while a couple of handy 18-year-olds have

CRIB POINT welcomed back Dean Warry to the fold while former Hastings midfielder and forward Brad Arnold has joined him at the nest. Panthers on prowl Expect Devon Meadows to be the big movers this season in Nepean League. The Panthers have signed Beau Miller and Clint Setford, Clint and Corey Walker and Dean Rydquist, whilst a couple return from overseas and injury. Steve McInnes also returns from Casey Scorpions. And expect to see former Melbourne jumping jack Russell Robertson run around for a few games.

Hangover at Tigerland WORD coming out of Dromana is that there is a bit of a premiership hangover.

the round two loss to Warrnambool. O’Malley also took 2/41 with the ball while his club teammate Jon Forrest and Hastings’ Luke Hewitt picked-up two wickets each. The MPCA had some success in the third match against Hamilton, winning by more than 100 runs.

O’Malley clubbed a massive 151 while Paxton helped himself to 62. In the final game against Yarra Valley, the MPCA was at his best again, winning by 111 runs. Paxton hit 50 and took 3/34 and O’Malley scored 47 to finish a wonderful carnival personally.

Champions: Baden Powell are the Twenty20 state champions after defeating Doutta Stars at the MCG.

Whilst it is believed that the Tigers have lost up to 10 players from its premiership side through retirement or departures, there’s also talk that numbers at training are down. A recent weekend session was attended by only a handful of players. They have picked up Hastings defender Andy Kiely and Steven Gaertner has returned. Hillmen look the goods Red Hill has been training hard and its recruits are fitting in well according to coach Tony Blackford. Nick Bateman (Dolphins), Michael Dillon (Port Melbourne) and Matthew Hyden (Ballarat) and are all making an impression. Add the likes of YCW’s Blake McCormack, Adam Bokisch and Paul Wintle and Karingal’s Jared Eames and the Hillmen look OK.

Short Passes ROSEBUD has picked up a couple of Sorrento’s fringe players in Jackson Wells and Luke Schuldt while Ben Dwyer returns. Rye is hoping for big things from brothers

Ryan, Luke and Jake Semmel to assist with its forward and midfield issues while Anthony Joel has joined from Karingal and Aaron Findlay also returns. Sean and Ben Cain are expected not to play and Sam Smith hasn’t been sighted. Sorrento expects big things from Tasmanian pair Brodie Webb and Ryan Williams while Dave Lawson returns after a stint coaching Crib Point. Chelsea has been on a recruiting drive, former AFL player Jayden Attard the biggest scalp. Matty Baxter also crosses from Bonbeach. Frankston YCW welcomes back Brendan Meagher while Langwarrin swingman Matthew Hogan crosses to the Stonecats. Mornington is sure to improve with some very handy recruits. Dale and Danny Nolan and Adam Symes join former teammate Anthony Franchina, Luke Lewis goes home after playing for the Frankston Bombers and Ben Clements is back. At Seaford, Luke Smith has returned while Ben Crowe has lured former Somerville teammate Adam Rose. Mornington News 25 February 2014
