Youth told ‘work for dole’ Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au

UNEMPLOYED young people on the Mornington Peninsula will be among the first in Australia to taste the federal government’s tough budget measures, with the controversial “work for the dole” scheme to be rolled out across the region within weeks. The combined Frankston and peninsula region has been selected as one of 18 “high-unemployment areas” around Australia to spearhead a trial of the Coalition government’s revitalised

work for the dole program. Under the program, peninsula “job seekers” aged between 18 and 30 who have been unemployed for twelve months or more will be required to perform 15 hours a week of unpaid work over a six-month period if they are to continue to receive welfare payments. Unlike many of the Abbott government’s controversial budget proposals which must pass both houses of parliament before being implemented, the work for the dole scheme requires no such legislative approval and will

come into force from 1 July within the 18 targeted regions. The rest of the country will follow 12 months later, when weekly requirements will increase to 25 hours unpaid work a week. The introduction of the scheme comes at a time of rising unemployment, particularly among young people. The Frankston and peninsula region has been targeted as one of four regions in Victoria with “unacceptably high levels of youth unemployment”. Over the past 12 months, unemployment in the peninsula region has

to find employment in an increasingly tough job market. “Where are the jobs these poor young people are being punished for not being able to find?” Mornington Community Information and Support Centre manager Lisa Elliott asked. “There aren’t enough jobs on the peninsula for people with good skills, let alone young people who aren’t able to gain the experience necessary to get their foot in the door, and things are getting worse with more and more jobs being axed.

jumped from 6.3 per cent to 7.1 per cent, well above the national average of 5.9 per cent, while youth unemployment stands at an alarming 21.3 per cent. At the same time, job vacancy rates have been steadily decreasing, meaning there are less jobs and more people looking for work. Welfare and community service groups have criticised the merit of the previously abandoned scheme, claiming it does nothing to improve job prospects for young people and unfairly punishes them for being unable

Mornington News 3 June 2014

NEWS DESK

Social media claims of kids being “lured” branded as “nonsense” Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au POLICE have labelled rumours that a man has been trying to “lure” kids near Benton Junior College in Mornington as “a classic case of Chinese whispers”. A Facebook post dated 28 May claimed: “The police were at school today warning teachers and parents that there has been a man approaching and trying to lure kids with him by approaching them playing in the street and from their front fences. He was last seen in Marriott Dve wearing a Muppets T-shirt and a hat, however they don’t yet know his age. Please share with other mums on the peninsula.” The post has been shared numerous times on Facebook and attracted comments such as: “Mothers fathers, nannas, and poppys, aunts and uncles [should] be alert – this is serious protect your family against this monster” and “That’s why parents give their kids video games and stuff to do inside so they know where they are. About time the legal system gets hard on preods [sic]” and “Yuk. What an absolute creep.” Police from the Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) in Frankston were quick to dispel the circulating rumours when contacted by The News. “We did attend the school to investigate a complaint,” Detective Sergeant Peter Drake said.

“What has happened is a couple of Benton Junior College students, aged 10 and 11, have been walking to school, and a male has said something to them. They have been spooked and run.” “We spoke to the principal, the kids involved and the parents of the kids. There was no threat made, and definitely no attempt to grab the kids. We’ve made note of the incident, but

there are no grounds to pursue the issue further”. He expressed concern that social media messages had blown the incident out of proportion and created unnecessary fear in the community. The principal of Benton Junior College, Marcus Batt, was keen to distance the school from the online rumours, but supported the actions of the children.

“The kids were terrific. They did exactly what they should have. They came straight to school and told an adult.” He said the investigation was a matter for the police, and he wouldn’t comment further on it. In late 2012 teachers at the school gave out the registration number of a car “acting suspiciously” outside the school to parents of the school.

(‘Trial by social media’, The News, 11/12/2012). That sparked wild online speculation on social media with the vehicle’s registration number circulated widely on Facebook and Twitter at the time. Facebook users called the car driver “a sicko” who they hoped would be caught. A message posted on Twitter also listed the number plate, claiming the car’s driver “steals kids”. However, police cleared the man, a grandfather of a pupil at the school, of any wrongdoing. Acting Inspector Matt Mulcahy, also of Frankston police, placed a notice on the “Policing on the Mornington Peninsula” blog at the time to try to quell the rampant online speculation: “There is nothing to link this vehicle to any offence of abduction or child stealing either in the past or present. They had a legitimate reason to be in the area.” Police at the time told The News the car owner was not advised that his number plate details had been circulated on social media websites, including Facebook and Twitter. Although there was nothing untoward in the latest incident, Detective Sergeant Peter Drake was keen to provide a general warning to all kids to take care when walking to school. “We always want to make it clear that all kids should exercise care. They should walk to school together in pairs and practice ‘stranger danger’ caution”.

Crime stats: peninsula thefts up, assaults down Stephen Taylor stephen@mpnews.com.au

r u o to u o y k n a th As a lovely loyal clients s e ic v r e s r u o ll a 10% off

A 13.2 per cent drop in ‘Crimes against the person’ on the Mornington Peninsula in the year to March was the result of police “successfully partnering“ with the community, police inspector Karen Nyholm said last week. She cited a 10.1 per cent drop in assaults, and a similar drop in assaults excluding family violence, as “highlighting the holistic approach to increasing personal safety”. But, sadly, crimes against property rose from 5586 to 6292 – up 12.6 per cent; drug offences rose from 377 to 402 - 6.6 per cent and ‘other’ crime rose from 1467 to 1650 – up 12.5 per cent. Total crime was up 8843 to 9570 - 8.2 per cent. But inspector Nyholm said crimes which “touch us personally” have the greatest impact on a community. “The tragic events that unfolded at Tyabb in February with the tragic death of Luke Batty highlighted the complex and ongoing challenges that many families face on a daily basis. “Mental health and family violence are community issues that continue to harm lives and result in tragic consequences. Police will continue to focus on empowering victims and working with their support partners to improve the safety of those affected.” The Mornington Peninsula has three 24 hour police stations at Mornington, Hastings and Rosebud and other stations at Dromana, Rye and Sorrento. Supporting these are crime investigations units, highway patrol, family violence unit, crime scene services, crime prevention, youth resources, and a crime tasking unit. Insp. Nyholm said more police would come as a result of the ‘1700’ police rollout across the state. “Police continue to enforce public order around

licensed venues and the Mornington Liquor Accord has provided a welcome platform for police and venue owners to address alcohol-fuelled violence. “The Mornington Peninsula offers a very safe environment to live, work and holiday – but the reality is opportunistic thieves exist in our midst. Operation Ranger is an investigative taskforce focusing on theft from cars and theft of cars and is achieving good results. Police have identified a high percentage of these crimes occurring when cars and houses are left unlocked.” She said community members can take simple steps to help avoid becoming victims of these crimes. “Road safety on the peninsula is a focus of all police units and the results have shown a further reduction in serious injury collisions by 16.8 per cent. Drivers are slowing down and, as a result, saving lives. Police will continue with enforcement operations including booze buses, back road operations for drink drivers and vigilance in detecting illegal phone users.”

School knife threat MOUNT Eliza Secondary College was locked down on Tuesday 27 May after an incident. Three people; a 17-year-old boy and girl believed to be connected with the school, in the company of a 21-year-old male, entered school property around lunchtime. They got into a verbal altercation with a group of students during which the older male is alleged to have produced a knife. The school was locked down and the three fled. Resources, including the police air-wing, were quickly deployed as there had been a strong police presence in the area due to a separate incident

SPA: ‘Walkout’ councillor’s motion kicked out David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au Venue: Hastings Hub. Briefings as the entrée, followed by a meal, then the council meeting. A good crowd, that dwindled noticeably after dinner time. Apologies: councillors Graham Pittock and Bev Colomb. Cr Martin had resigned the previous Tuesday so only eight councillors present. IT WAS a meeting of two distinct parts, but with an air of tension over Part One, possibly emanating from councillors, who knew Part Two could well be lively. And so it was. Allow Council Watch to set the scene. The prologue: shire meetings are recorded via wi-fi microphones. These have been troublesome for months. They failed completely at Hastings. New governance officer Tony Beynon found a portable mike and galloped with it from speaker to speaker so the gallery could hear the proceedings … up to a point. The action: Cr Hugh Fraser had lodged a Notice of Motion related to the councillor walkout at the previous week’s Special Purposes Committee meeting. Cr Fraser, Cr Tim Rodgers and Cr Bev Colomb had left that meeting, which then had no quorum – unprecedented in recent shire history – and had to be abandoned. The “walkout” item could therefore

not be dealt with. And here was Cr Fraser’s follow-up, ticking like a bomb, in a public forum, seeking that the secret business be made public. First, Cr Fraser’s notice of motion argued that the confidential item was not confidential under the Local Government Act. Second, it argued that, not being confidential, it should be heard at an open council meeting. He named 10 June as the date. Third, he argued that the item should not have been on the agenda of a meeting outside Rosebud since councillors had resolved that all meetings dealing with the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre be held in Rosebud. Aha! SPA! So SPA had been the confidential item that sparked the walkout. The cat was out of the bag. A very large and formidable catout-of-bag is SPA, a veritable Bengal tiger of a cat, snarling, eyes flashing, claws menacing. No wonder the three councillors had walked out. The hugely contested, massively expensive, largely unfunded proposed Rosebud foreshore pool complex has cleaved the council with the force of a racing axe. Council Watch had sought in vain for details of that confidential item, to no avail. But one can speculate, as follows... SPA is about to be subject of a design competition. At present a few things are known about what the the project will include, but much detail is vague. That was made clear last December in a presentation to councillors, when its cost was quoted at $28 million and the public was told much of the detail was

still up in the air. The cost, incidentally, has now climbed mysteriously to $34 million. Of course the prospective design contest folk need to know what the SPA will include. There will be a pool – 25 metres, 10 lanes. Will there be a hydrotherapy pool or just a warm water pool? We know there will be a restaurant – Cr David Gibb, the project’s chief apostle, told us that last year, out of the blue. It will be upstairs, to take in the bay view. We know there could be a gym. But is it a certainty? Pools these days are far more than pools. Look at Frankston’s nearly completed complex, or the one at Waurn Ponds, near Geelong, or the one at Casey. These days children’s aquatic play areas are essential. And water slides ... there must be slides. And that means a separate pool, that sliders slide into. A diving pool, like Ringwood? This writer speculated some time ago that the SPA would include at least one water slide. And is prepared to speculate again that at least one water slide will be included in the design brief. Extra cost? Probably $5-6 million, maybe more. This will push the total cost up to around $40 million, and climbing. And will require a bigger footprint for the project. No wonder tension was high at the Hastings Hub meeting last Monday night. Cr Gibb and his supporters had failed to get this item debated at the closed meeting. And here was Cr Fraser asking that the proposal be decided in full public glare, where the gallery could listen to

councillors’ arguments and see how they voted. Responding to Cr Fraser’s questions, CEO Michael Kennedy confirmed he had stated in an email that not all of a confidential item might be confidential. But a mess ensued if part of an item could be heard in public, then the public had to leave for a confidential bit, then be called back in … asked to leave … called back in … more practical and logical to designate the entire matter confidential. “It has ever been thus,” he declared. Similarly, infrastructure boss Alex Atkins had indicated in answer to Cr Gibb that on complex matters the shire had over the years judged it best to discuss some issues in camera then decide what, if anything, to make public – effectively the “that’s the way we’ve always done it” argument. But Mr Atkins gave the gallery a big hint when he used the phrase “design brief” in relation to the confidential item. Explaining why the SPA item had been included in the agenda of a meeting held away from Rosebud despite the councillors’ resolution, acting chief financial officer Alison Leighton said that because the item was confidential it was not felt necessary to wait for a Rosebud meeting. The denouement: Then came the fireworks. Cr Fraser turned his attention to mayor Antonella Celi with a semi-technical question. She was nonplussed. “I beg your pardon?” she said. He repeated the

question. She glowered. “Cr Fraser,” she said, “I do not appreciate questions that are interrogative in nature.” And asked him to rephrase it. “I thought questions were interrogative,” someone whispered. From there to the end was but a few minutes of raised voices, shouting, shouting down, warnings about penalties in bylaws and then suspension of the matter. “Mr Beynon, can you please take the microphone to Cr Gibb,” Cr Celi instructed the man with the mike. Cr Gibb moved that the motion be put. It was. Then Cr Fraser’s matter was decided by Cr Celi’s casting vote. Now to wait for the design brief to reveal precisely what exciting new features the SPA will include. And possibly how much they will add to the soaring bill.

Dedication wins out: Tai chi group leaders Maryanne MacPhee and Doris Hilton (front) with Health minister David Davis (back) and members of the Peninsula Health community participation team.

Five in five for volunteers An independent voice for the community We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

PENINSULA Health tai chi leaders were recognised at last week’s Minister for Health Volunteer Awards. Health minister David Davis praised the group for their work in the community. They are among four other Peninsula Health volunteer groups and individuals to receive the award in the past five years. “We are proud of the tai chi volunteer leaders and all the impressive work they do. They help hundreds of people every year stay healthy, connect with others and build lasting friendships,� Peninsula Health CEO Jan Child said.

The seven tai chi leaders have run classes six times a week over 15 years across the peninsula attracting 80 participants. They promote physical wellness and give participants an opportunity for social inclusion. Training by Arthritis Victoria has enhanced their role. Many began as participants of the program and their experiences encouraged them to contribute. “The dedication of the tai chi leaders is remarkable,’’ Ms Child said. “Their commitment to their community is something that should be recognised and this award confirms this.�

Hospital rejects ‘among worst’ tag Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON hospital is among Australia’s worst-performing when it comes to federal targets to treat emergency patients within four hours. A report released last week by the National Health Performance Authority showed it was in the lowest 10 per cent of major metropolitan hospitals in the country on the measure last year. But Frankston Hospital’s director of Emergency Medicine, associate professor Pam Rosengarten, slammed the report’s figures as outdated. “They are an historical snapshot of 2012-2013 when, for a number of reasons, times were below target. “A great deal of work has been done across all areas of Frankston Hospital and the four-hour time-totreatment has improved to 64 per cent and is continuing to improve.’’ The performance authority report said Frankston’s emergency department could only manage to admit and discharge 50 per cent of patients within the target four hours. It said that, on a state-wide hospital basis, about 67 per cent of emergency patients were treated in that time last year. The report – measured as a percentage - highlights the extent to which patients are able to depart public hospital emergency departments within four hours of arrival. Those presenting are subsequently admitted to the

hospital, referred to another hospital or discharged. It includes data from 112 of Australia’s major and large public hospitals, representing 76 per cent of the seven million patient presentations across the country in 2013. Prof Rosengartn said Rosebud Hospital, also part Peninsula Health, continues to meet and exceed all the benchmarks. She said Frankston Hospital’s ambulance bay was “the busiest in Victoria” and received more

emergency patients by ambulance than any other hospital in the state. “Despite the high demand, the time taken to transfer patients from the ambulance into hospital care is currently better than the state benchmark of 40 minutes,” she said. “The opening of a new $40 million emergency department early next year will give us the resources to meet growing demand and improve our time-to-treatment performance.” To back up her comments, Professor Rosengarten said that during the period January to March

this year Frankston Hospital:  Accepted 5570 ambulance arrivals at emergency – up from 4881 last year.  Saw 15,645 patients at emergency – up from 14,243 last year.  Admitted 6620 emergency patients – up from 6038 last year.  Was on bypass two per cent of the time – below the state benchmark of 3 per cent.  Treated 100 per cent of the 93 Category 1 emergency patients immediately on arrival at emergency.  Treated 87 per cent of Category 2 patients within 10 minutes of arrival at emergency – up from 82 per cent a year earlier, and beating the statewide target of 80 per cent.  Treated 91 per cent of Category 3 patients within 30 minutes of arrival at emergency – up from 82 per cent a year earlier, and above the benchmark target of 75 per cent.  Treated 94 per cent of semi-urgent Category 4 patients within an hour of arrival at emergency – up from 81 per cent a year earlier, and above the state average of 73 per cent.  Treated 99 per cent of non-urgent Category 5 patients within two hours of arrival at emergency – up from 91 per cent in the same period a year ago, and above the state average of 89 per cent.  Discharged 64 per cent of nonadmitted emergency department patients within four hours in the three months to the end of March – up from 61 per cent in the same period a year earlier. Frankston Hospital admitted 59,694 emergency patients last year.

Police command denies numbers down Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au VICTORIA Police has refuted claims that the number of frontline police officers on duty at Mornington Peninsula police stations has been slashed by 20 per cent since 2010. Figures released last week by the state Opposition show the Mornington Peninsula was one of more than 50 police service areas across Victoria to suffer significant staffing cuts. Police numbers at thirty of those areas were down 10 per cent, while the peninsula was among 20 police service areas suffering cuts of more than 20 per cent, opposition police and emergency services spokesman Wade Noonan said. Mr Noonan said as many as 30 uniformed officers had been lost from some police service areas, with stations having trouble filling shifts and keeping up uniform patrols. He said in many cases, there was a direct correlation between the loss of local police and an increase in crime rates. “Most Victorians would be shocked to learn that while crime increases across the state, Denis Napthine has reduced the number of police on the beat in their local area,” Mr Noonan said. “When Denis Napthine cuts $100 million from Victoria Police and cuts the number of officers on the beat, he cuts support to your community.” “Despite Denis Napthine and the Liberals promising to make Victoria safer, crime rates have increased each and every year under this government.”

However police spokesman Sergeant Kris Hamilton said that there were now significantly more police serving the Mornington Peninsula community than ever before. “Looking at numbers within police stations alone presents a skewed picture of how many police are working in an area, because many of our police are not physically attached to the stations,” Sergeant Hamilton said. “They are working in specialist squads, tackling family violence, organised crime and offending on our roads. “These police are not always based at local police stations, but are still working in local communities, helping to keep Victorians safe.” Police Minister Kim Wells said there were now more than 1500 extra frontline police in Victoria than in 2010, with a further 200 to be recruited by November this year. “There are also more than 750 Protective Services Officers protecting commuters at rail stations, which is 750 more than there was under Labor. An additional 190 are still to come,” Mr Wells said. “Contrary to outrageous and misleading scaremongering by the Opposition, the formation of these critical frontline taskforces does not mean frontline police resources have been diminished.” Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay last week confirmed more police would be allocated to specialised units in the future, meaning there may be less police “physically attached” to specific police stations. Mornington Peninsula police com-

Denial: Police minister Kim Wells says police numbers have not fallen.

mander Inspector Karen Nyholm said the region had three 24 hour police stations at Mornington, Hastings and Rosebud, and is further strengthened by stations at Dromana, Rye and Sorrento. A fourth 24 hour station will open next year at Somerville. In addition, a large number of specialised units not attached to specific stations operate across the peninsula region. These include crime investigations units, highway patrol, family violence unit, crime scene services, crime prevention, youth resources, and a crime tasking unit, Inspector Nyholm said. “We will be receiving more police as a result of the “1700” police rollout [promised by the Coaltion government] across the state,” she said. The opening of the new 24-hour police station in Somerville next year will see the reallocation of a number

of specialised police officers, such as crime investigation unit detectives, away from smaller stations to the larger centralised stations. Mr Wells said the $16.3 million Somerville police station would boost emergency response capabilities, help reduce crime and improve community safety across the Mornington Peninsula. The station is designed to accommodate 150 staff and allows for expansion of police numbers in the future. An additional 109 police officers have been allocated to Southern Region Division 4, which services the peninsula. The station will include a uniform branch, highway patrol and a crime scene unit. It will also feature public consultation and interview rooms, a mess room, change rooms, a gymnasium, short-term custodial holding rooms, administration areas and conference room facilities that can be adapted for emergency management. Construction on the facility is expected to be completed in March 2015. “The police station will provide a 24-hour police response that will allow quicker responses to incidents and meet the needs of a growing population across the region,” Mr Wells said. “The new facility is part of the Victorian Coalition Government’s commitment to improve police facilities across the state, as we deliver an additional 1700 police to Victorian streets by November 2014.” “This represents the largest single law enforcement recruitment exercise in Victoria’s history.” Responding to “an explosive head-

line” in The Age newspaper last week stating “Chief to cut police on the beat”, Mr Lay said Victoria Police “needs to evolve if it is to keep pace with the changing world”. Outlining details of a “blue paper” on the future of Victoria Police, Mr Lay said police resources would be deployed at a divisional level to appropriate crime fighting tasks. “We need to build greater flexibility into the way we deploy our resources,” Mr Lay said. “That is why we are now allocating police numbers at larger geographic divisional level so that police commanders have the freedom to move police officers from town to town as and when needed. “In addition, we also need more dedicated, specialist taskforces that can help police tackle the greatest drivers of harm. “Challenges such as organised crime, family violence and the destructive prevalence of Ice in the community are not going to be solved through traditional policing alone.” Mr Lay said Victoria Police needed to modernise in order to keep up with ever changing criminal trends and the needs of the community. “The model that we’ve had for the last 161 years needs to be re-examined,” Mr Lay said. “It’s a history of allocating police according to population, not crime rates or emerging crime trends. “It’s also a geographic spread of police station locations based on nineteenth century patterns – a day’s horse ride between them.”

Budget slashes ‘learn ([KLELWLRQ ODXQFKLQJ 6DWXUGD\ and earn’ services DQG 6XQGD\ -XQH SP YOUNG people facing the often difficult transition from school to the workforce – especially those “at risk of disengagement� – have had the rug pulled from under them by federal budget cuts. Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network (FMPLLEN) – which each year helps 2000 people aged up to 19 find work has learned that its federal funding will end in December. Through partnerships with other welfare group “partners� it has functioned successfully for the past 13 years tackling youth unemployment by improving the rate of youth transition from school to jobs. The partners work with schools, education and training bodies, community organisations, families, industry and government to develop opportunities for often disadvantaged and disengaged young people – but now that is at risk. Executive officer Carol Smith said their grassroots support was changing young lives by helping them re-engage with the community. Many recipients “could go either way�. “The Frankston and Mornington Peninsula youth unemployment rate is above 12 per cent and, with the associated changes to youth engagement, it is imperative that we continue to promote and implement strategies to keep our local youth in education or training.� She pointed to FMPLLEN’S recent help for 25 young Frankston mothers – some with partners - who had left school early to care for new babies and then found themselves in a void: uncompleted education and few job prospects in a tough market. Through partnerships with Anglicare and Chisholm Institute, FMLLEN staff helped the young mums enter and complete VCAL courses and have their babies looked after at the same time. “They came away from their

courses re-engaged with education and linked in with the community. We showed them where to find local services and facilities which are vital for young mothers. “The program was a great success but, if LLEN had not put up its hand, it would not have gone ahead.� Funding for this particular service ends on 30 June. Hopefully, Ms Smith said, other viable local groups – such as Head Space - will be able to replicate their success. Ms Smith said FMLLEN had partnered with Frankston Council last year to form the Job Splash program, finding 50 jobs for 50 young people in 30 days. “We had a short, sharp campaign and 50 local businesses, such as cafes and some bigger businesses, came to the party. The 50 jobs were filled and about 60 per cent of the young people are still working there.� Ms Smith said LLEN was a ‘local, independent broker’ which researched its target market and devised pilot programs to get young people interested and involved in higher education or employment. “Those businesses weren’t going to offer those jobs on their own but, with our help, they did.� “We lobby hard for vulnerable young people because we are passionate about helping them. And once these programs go they won’t be coming back.� Their main hope is for the state government to provide $12 million in funding across the state. Based on last year’s figures, she said the cost to the taxpayer for each young person benefitting was less than $200. Youth Connections, a local program run by the Brotherhood of St Laurence, has also had its funding cut. It, too, will end on 31 December. Stephen Taylor

Exploding myths: Doug Ackerly’s meticulous biography of Essendon legend and local Hastings player John Coleman reveals a fiery personality prone to heated clashes. Picture: Yanni

Stephen Taylor stephen@mpnews.com.au THE name “John Coleman” is synonymous with the AFL’s annual award for the competition’s leading goalkicker. The Essendon full-forward exploded onto the scene in 1949 with 12 goals on debut, and booted his 100th major in that season’s winning grand final. A high-flying excitement machine, he continued to thrill crowds until a career-ending knee injury in 1954, but returned to coach the Bombers to two premierships in the sixties. Coleman is a household name in the VFL/ AFL – and on the Mornington Peninsula where he played with Hastings and won the MPFL best and fairest award in 1947. But beyond the smattering of spectacular action photographs and the phenomenal statistics, little is known about this legendary footballer, who died in 1973 aged just 44.

Now, here’s what’s described as the “untold” story of an Australian sporting icon whose memorabilia is prized behind only Don Bradman and Phar Lap. In 68 chapters and seven appendices, Doug Ackerly’s meticulous biography reveals a fiery personality who clashed heatedly with his captain while playing and with five of his champions as coach. And, Coleman’s “almost pathological” hatred of umpires saw him reported nine times –and an unprecedented four as coach. “Myths are exploded,” says the promotional hyperbole, as the author reveals the “true” story behind the infamous Caspar incident that “cost” Essendon the 1951 premiership, and why Coleman’s knee injury should never have happened in the first place – and how it was dreadfully mismanaged. There has also been debate on the probable cause of the hands-on publican’s premature death.

M

Coleman’s genius is examined by contemporaries and in 40 statistical tables, and his successful coaching methods compared with his revered predecessor, Dick Reynolds, and successor, Jack Clarke. His story is illustrated by more than 100 images. John Coleman was named full-forward in the AFL Team of the Century and is an inaugural Legend in its Hall of Fame. His memory is now preserved in bronze outside the MCG – and, of course, in an action statue taking a characteristic high mark outside Hastings library. But, he was much more than that, says the author. Shy, yet charismatic, the country boy grew to captivate the public like few others in a short life – his sporting exploits splashed across newspapers in the 1950s. Above all, he was a devoted family man. This very human biography, with a foreword by daughter Jenny, reveals all.

Dole cuts to hit peninsula first Continued from page 1 “It’s depressing enough being out of work and not having enough money to cover basic necessities, let alone the further indignation of being stigmatised like this, being told you’re a bludger and treated like a pariah or a criminal,” Ms Elliott said. “What’s the difference between community service, which is a court sentence applied to criminals, and work for the dole? Are we now criminalising unemployment?” However, federal member for Flinders Greg Hunt welcomed the selection of his electorate for the trial, saying the scheme would assist peninsula young people find long-term work by helping build skills and good habits. “The strongest indicator that someone will be unemployed at 35 is if they are unemployed at 18, which is why we are committed to breaking the cycle of unemployment and encouraging young people to learn new skills,” Mr Hunt said. “The work for the dole program provides participants with basic skills that they will be able to take with them into future employment. The program will also have a flow-on effect for the broader community, as work for the dole participants will work on local projects such as upgrading infrastructure and completing community initiatives.” Examples of possible work for the dole placements identified by the federal government include:  Retail work in not-for-profit stores such as those operated by major charity organisations;  Providing additional assistance in

the administration areas of eligible organisations;  Gardening or maintenance activities in schools or aged care facilities (however, no caring, teaching or direct supervision roles will be allowed).  Rehabilitation works of public parks and roadways  Restoration of community facilities, such as churches or community halls. “Job seekers placed in work for the dole activities will need to undertake all required training and pre-placement compliance activities, such as routine police checks and occupational, health and safety training,” government literature outlining the scheme states. However, Ms Elliott said the government’s apparent belief that longterm unemployment was somehow tied to poor “work ethic” and could be corrected by forcing welfare recipients into unpaid work displayed a gross lack of understanding of the causes. “It all sounds good in theory, but the reality is that the work for the dole program simply doesn’t work,” she said. “It’s failed in the past and was abandoned, but now the government wants to dig it up again to show they’re doing something to solve the jobs crisis. But when you have one in five young people out of work, you know it’s not because they’re slackers who need to be somehow disciplined, it’s because there aren’t any jobs available, or the right sorts of jobs available, especially at the unskilled end of the spectrum. “So instead of doing something to

address the real problem, like creating more work opportunities, the government has apparently decided to take the punitive approach - punishing young people for something that’s out of their control.And the effects on young people’s self esteem can be quite devastating. Being unemployed can be soul destroying so telling them they’re failures and forcing them into a demeaning program is just going to further erode their confidence.” Ms Elliott said she had just returned from a forum in the middle east and had been stunned to hear about a number of measures contained in the federal budget. “Seeing the way vulnerable people in countries with real problems are treated and then coming back to here to see how we - an extraordinarily rich and prosperous country - are treating our most vulnerable people was really quite shocking,” she said. “The measure of any society is how it treats it’s most vulnerable members, and we are clearly failing on that front.” Other major charity and social welfare agencies servicing Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula also questioned the merits of the work for the dole scheme, as well as other measures contained in the federal budget targeting the young and unemployed, such as pushing people under the age of 25 off Newstart and onto the less generous Youth Allowance payment and forcing those aged under 30 to “earn or learn” or risk having their welfare payments cut off for six months. The Salvation Army, which oper-

ates the Peninsula Youth and Family Services, said changes to the Newstart and Youth Allowance payments were of significant concern. Salvation Army national secretary Major Kelvin Alley said the “stringent” requirements for job seekers would create “enormous challenges” for young people just to survive “let alone get meaningful employment”. While the Salvation Army was involved in the previous incarnation of the work for the dole program under the Howard government and is again likely to provide placements for participants in the current scheme, Major Alley said it was concerning the new measures targeted the “most marginalised in the community” while doing little to address the underlying problems affecting employment opportunities for young people, Hanover Welfare Services CEO Tony Keenan agreed, saying the changes to youth unemployment benefits could “substantially impact” vulnerable young people. “We know from experience that the best thing we can do for young people is get them into education and employment – what this budget is lacking is concurrent investment into effective programs that will do this,” Mr Keenan said. “Young people who have grown up in care, in families with inter-generational unemployment, desperately need appropriate programs to help them to get ahead. Without these, more and more vulnerable young people will be turning up at our services rather than our employment centres.”

The Australian Council of Social Service said the government should focus on improving job opportunities for young people and strengthen training and education available instead of penalising them “at the very time they need support and hope”. “It makes no sense that the government has decided to spend new and precious dollars on restarting the failed work for the dole yet cut programs that clearly work, flying in the face of all evidence,” ACOSS CEO Dr Cassandra Goldie said. “The problem in high unemployment areas around the country is the lack of jobs, not inertia on behalf of people who are looking for paid work. ‘‘Past experience shows that workfor-the-dole programs are not effective in helping young people get jobs. Under the previous Coalition government’s scheme, only about one in three participants were still employed three months after the program. “We know that the main reason for high youth unemployment is that young people were worst affected by the global financial crisis. The overall number of jobs for 16 to 19-year-olds was still below 2007 levels five years later. Employers want ‘experience’ but how can young people gain experience if they can’t get entry-level positions?” She said the focus should be on opening up job opportunities in collaboration with business leaders, investors, local communities and social services “to give young people hope, and help them get a foot in the door”.

Driving force behind challenge

Our famous...

CELSIUS Long way to the top: Flinders MP Greg Hunt (fourth from right) joined students from Woodleigh, Rosebud, Toorak College and Mt Eliza for the event launch for the Arthurs Seat Challenge. Picture: Gary Sissons

MORE than 2000 participants are expected to enter this year’s 6.7km Arthurs Seat Challenge in November. The challenge to climb to the top of the Arthurs Seat summit is a fundraiser to support a reduction in road trauma for young people and to raise money for the Fit to Drive road safety program. Since the introduction of the Graduated Licensing System, there has been a 23 per cent fall in deaths on our roads. Nevertheless, young people are still over-represented in road crashes and fatalities despite comprising just a small portion of licensed drivers. Young drivers aged between 18-25 years are involved in nearly one third of all casualty crashes, with road accidents killing more young people than any other single cause. Fit to Drive (F2D) is a locally developed program that now reaches over 30,000 Year 11 students each year across Victoria. F2D is a community program that concentrates on

personal safety and responsibility to make young drivers safer on the roads. It actively encourages and empowers young people as road users to look after themselves and their friends by recognising and overcoming risky situations. The Arthurs Seat Challenge campaign officially commenced with the event launch held on Wednesday 21 May at Arthurs Hotel. Sponsors including Bluescope Steel, Bendigo Bank and Eastlink, the member for Flinders Greg Hunt and principals and students from secondary colleges who take part in the Fit to Drive Program. Student representatives shared the powerful impact that the F2D workshops have had on them as young road users, as well as the significance of the Arthurs Seat Challenge as a fun and meaningful community event. Registrations are open now via www. arthursseatchallenge.com.au for the Arthurs Seat Challenge held on Sunday 9 November.

End of line: Police take a 33-year-old woman into custody at Patterson Lakes following a pursuit that began half-an-hour earlier at Safety Beach. Picture: Gary Sissons

Woman arrested after pursuit A 33-YEAR-OLD woman was arrested at Patterson Lakes on Monday 26 May after a half-hour police pursuit across the Mornington Peninsula. Rosebud highway patrol Sergeant Peter Martin told The News a member of the public called police when he saw a car travelling erratically in Safety Beach about 9pm on Tuesday evening. The driver refused to stop when police tried to intercept the car, forcing officers to pursue the vehicle for almost 40km. Sergeant Martin said no-one was injured during the chase. “We’re grateful to the man who called to report the driver,” he said.

“The man was horrified when he saw how erratically she was driving and he’s done the right thing.” The female driver, who Sgt Martin said was “of no fixed address”, eventually stopped her car in Thompsons Rd, Patterson Lakes where she was immediately arrested. Road spikes were not used to stop the vehicle, according to Sergeant Martin. He said the woman was taken to Frankston police station. “She was released on summons and has been charged with conduct endangering life, traffic offences and reckless driving.” Neil Walker

No worries: Nic Hope Denton and Maddy Kelly starred in the stage adaption of the book Go Away Mr Worrythoughts! last year at Frankston Arts Centre. Picture: Yanni

Back to banish worries

TONY WHEELER FROM 27 CENTS TO 100 MILLION BOOKS THURSDAY 19 June 7:00am to 9:00am

Go Away, Mr Worrythoughts! is a delightful stage adaptation of the award-winning picture book by Frankston author Nicky Johnston. Featuring three professional performers, puppetry, slapstick humour and songs, it’s described as an exciting adventure in developing emotional resilience for primary school children. Through the story of Bayden, and his struggle with anxiety, the production explores creative ways to zap ‘worrythoughts’. Johnston wrote the book to help her first child overcome anxiety. It was such a success that she wrote another, Happythoughts are Everywhere, as well as developing a resource kit for parents and teachers. She is now in demand as a guest speaker

at schools, parent groups and seminars, and the stage version of Go Away, Mr Worrythoughts! offers many insights into children’s mental health and wellbeing. One public performance only will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the author and the performers. It will suit those aged 5-11 and their families, although the character may frighten some littlies. Presented by Frankston Arts Centre Arts Access, Go Away, Mr Worrythoughts! will be staged on Friday, June 6 at 6pm. It runs for 45 minutes with no interval. Tickets are $8 with a family of four $28. Two years and under free on adult’s knee.

FEATURE PROPERTY

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Peninsula treasure in hinterland’s heart ENJOYING it’s own splendid slice of the peninsula hinterland, and from the air so reminiscent of a beautiful Tuscan villa, rarely has a property of this calibre come onto the market. This stunning rural retreat is suitable for equestrian pursuits, or the operation of a hobby farm with goats or alpacas roaming free around the 9.25-hectares. Divided into seven paddocks - each with a water supply- the central lane ways are an excellent improvement for ease of access around the property. The spectacular entrance is framed by wrought-iron gates, with a sweeping driveway threading its way through macrocarpa trees to a wide parking bay at the front of the home. With the grand feel of times gone by, the majestic foyer has a sweeping staircase that takes you up to the bedroom wing and a third living area. A formal living room has a gas log fire, and a formal dining room will comfortably seat 12 guests. The kitchen is centrally located to the formal areas and a very beautiful open plan area that incorporates a casual meals zone and a family room. The splendid kitchen features quality appliances by DeLonghi with an under-bench oven and gas cook top, a new Asko dishwasher and all complemented by stylish granite benchtops. From the upstairs living room there are superb views across the property, and you can relax in style at the end of the day in the opulent master bedroom suite that boasts a walkthrough robe to a spa ensuite, and a parents retreat where you can cosy up and watch the sunsets. Three more king-sized bedrooms all have built-in robes and have their own special rural outlook. There is a double garage under the roof line that together brings the home to an impressive 390-square metres (42 square) with several quality outbuildings for farm vehicles and livestock.

Care factor for stroke support

Helping hand: Stroke patients including Beryl Harris, pictured with physiotherapist Lisa Done, will benefit from a new dedicated stroke unit at The Mornington Centre for Rehabilitation and Aged Care.

PENINSULA residents will have access to improved stroke services after a 10-bed unit opened at The Mornington Centre for Rehabilitation and Aged Care. The unit is expected to be up and running later this month. This follows the recent opening of a 30-bed ward at the Mornington Centre, off Separation St. Karen Bull, the centre’s site manager, said the establishment of the stroke unit would centralise the care of stroke patients. “Currently stroke patients are treated as part of the general rehabilitation program. In planning for our new facility we identified the need for a single unit to provide specialist care for stroke patients,’’ Ms Bull said. She said the unit would focus on supporting patients and their family and caregivers through the physical and emotional changes that occur as the result of the stroke. It would help develop care plans that reflect their needs. “One of the most important things about stroke recovery is working with patients to set and achieve realistic and ongoing goals both in care and once they have returned home,” Ms Bull said. The unit, in the existing Gunnamatta ward at the centre, will have a coordinated team of staff specialising in stroke management and rehabilitation. “The new unit aims to reflect the excellent work already taking place in the specialist stroke unit at the Golf Links Road Rehabilitation Unit,” Ms Bull said.

Councillor ‘gondola’ missing? I WAS very sad to hear of the retirement of Cr Frank Martin, effective immediately, due to recent poor health. He is a respected councillor and former mayor and will be sadly missed. The Shire Council have indicated that there will be a byelection to fill this vacant position and I assume that the time period for this process is between 6 weeks and 3 months. In the interim period, who is representing the residents of the Red Hill Ward and their interests? This issue becomes crucial as Red Hill Ward has only one council representative. I would expect that all significant planning or other decisions that impact this ward should be postponed until the residents have representation on council. Is this the case? Will council use this opportunity to push through anything – like the “gondola” project impacting residents of Red Hill Ward whilst we have no representation? What do you think?

SPA a ‘basket case’? Cr Gibb, are the plans for the aquatic centre in the too hard basket where they belong, or have

they been thrown out the window? Is the article this newspaper printed (‘Land sale brings in millions’, The News, 8/4/14) concerning the money the shire paid for the land at Wannaeue Place correct? If not, would you write to the newspaper and correct this for the sake of the ratepayers? Kenneth Tainton, Rosebud

Each way bet on plan In the article ‘Plan Melbourne ‘good news’ for the peninsula’ (The News, 27/5/14) Cr Antonella Celi has in the one sentence listed both the development of the Port of Hastings and the ensuring of environmental qualities as being positive for the region. In reality, you cannot have both. Either you go ahead with the port development and destroy Western Port, or you genuinely protect and preserve it as a truly positive investment for ongoing generations.

Coast walker’s shore tales An author who has walked almost every kilometre of the Victorian coastline will be the next speaker at the Peninsula Field Naturalists Club. Graham Patterson will speak about his Coastal Guide to Port Phillip Bay - history, geology, plants and animals, and much more. Mr Patterson started walking sections of Port Phillip’s coast about 15 years ago and has since covered all 260 kilometres. The guide is divided into four sections: Point Lonsdale to Geelong, Avalon to Williamstown, Port Melbourne to Frankston, and Mt Eliza to Point Nepean. It contains general walking and safety advice, Aboriginal and European history, coastal animals and plants, landforms, and management. Mr Patterson, who started walking the Victorian coast in his mid-20s and is now in his mid-50s, spent hours researching his topic at libraries and

historical societies and by talking with experts. He also returned to places previously walked, after having the book idea, to take photos and include historic images. “There are fascinating stories of human enterprise, such as Wilbraham Liardet’s original tourism business at Port Melbourne, coastal industries such as the cement factory at Fossil Beach near Mornington in the 1860s, and a depot at Altona for exporting explosives,” he said. The book covers the creation of Port Phillip and its repeated filling and emptying over millions of years, and the fiery formation of the volcanic western shore. “Some parts of the coast are not easy to reach, and maps and advice will help people find them.” The meeting is at 8pm on Wednesday 11 June at 16 High St, Frankston. All welcome. Details: Judy on 9775 4231.

HISTORY

In search of the origins of peninsula football

Above: Melbourne Grammar footballers, 1873 Below: The 1857 book Tom Brown’s School Days bolstered the popularity of sports as a character building exercise.

By Lance Hodgins Part One THE story of football on the Mornington Peninsula has an interesting beginning. To fully understand it we need to go back to the origins of Australia Rules in Melbourne and consider the factors which were responsible for its various stages of growth. Some remarkable insights will emerge. The match played in 1858 in the shadows of the MCG between Melbourne Grammar and Scotch College has become legendary. Forty players per side dodged redgum trees as they pursued the ball over 600 metres of Yarra Park, following a loose set of rules agreed upon by each team’s umpire. The game began on Saturday 7 August 1858 and each side scored a goal before fading light forced a postponement. Two weeks later, the two sides met again, but remained scoreless. When no more goals were scored another two weeks later, a final draw was declared. Tom Wills was one of the umpires on that occasion and he features in the statue which stands outside the MCG today (see below).

Above and below: Early football in Yarra Park

Wills, one of the state’s top cricketers and secretary of the Melbourne Cricket Club, had just written an open letter urging cricketers to take up a sport such as football as a means of keeping fit in the off-season. It seems that his wishes were already being met. Recent research has suggested that there were other matches played in 1858. One of the most sur-

prising finds is that Melbourne Grammar had already played, and won, a match two months earlier – against the now defunct St Kilda Grammar. Perhaps as a result of this game, and a week before the Melbourne Grammar vs Scotch game, a scratch match was played between a team of schoolboys and the men of a St Kilda club. The schoolboys almost certainly included students from Scotch, Melbourne Grammar and St Kilda Grammar, and it was after an hour and a half’s play that the grown men of St Kilda grew frustrated with the “new” rules and their skilful opponents, and the game descended into fisticuffs. On that same weekend, a local publican named Jerry Bryant hosted a game in the Yarra Park (MCG) so that all-comers could “bring along their own code” to try out, with the intention of deciding on some common rules in his bar afterwards. Nothing appears to have been recorded for posterity, but this problem was solved the following year with the drafting of the “Melbourne Rules” by Wills and a group of friends who had formed the Melbourne Football Club. Other clubs were soon created and, in 1859, games were being played with increasing frequency in Yarra Park, Princes Park and Fawkner Park. Wills went to live in Geelong in 1860 and the game gained a strong foothold there. His brother-in-law, HC Harrison, captained one of the Geelong teams and became renowned as the best footballer of the era. This began an intense rivalry between the various Geelong and Melbourne teams that persists to the present day.

Tom Wills (far right) with his cricket colleagues in 1859. Jerry Bryant is second from the right.

Throughout the 1860s, football was tried in those provincial centres with enough people in occupations which did not have to work on Saturday afternoons: Ballarat, Bendigo, the port of Warrnambool, and the gold towns of Heathcote and Maryborough. By 1877, there was a new Victorian Football Association, a revised set of rules, and almost 150 teams spread across the suburbs of Melbourne – each promoting pride in their community, a particularly important role especially for the working class families of the inner suburbs. And the crowds loved it. Matches between Melbourne and Carlton, for instance, were drawing up to 15,000 spectators, far exceeding the numbers attending the rugby and FA Cup finals in England. Furthermore, “Marvellous Melbourne” was about to enter the long boom years of the 1880s when jobs and home ownership flourished, immigrants poured in, and its population would top the one million mark. Australian football had truly arrived. A few significant factors stand out in the evolution of the game. It is not surprising that the earliest organised games were played by schoolboys, as they were the segment of society with the largest amount of leisure time at their disposal. Furthermore, many private schools at that time had headmasters who believed that a vigorous team sport was the key to building men of good character. This philosophy was popularly

bolstered by the publication in 1857 of Tom Brown’s School Days, a semifictional tale set in the famous Rugby school, where the central character became hero of the day in a grand football match. The headmasters of Melbourne Grammar, Scotch College and St Kilda Grammar were from England, Scotland and the Channel Isles respectively, and they brought their own codes of football with them. They were certainly not united by rugby and therefore had to find some common ground of their own. From these beginnings, the rules of the game evolved and participation widened to include men of every occupation. It is therefore reasonable to expect that frustration and argument would be commonplace. The need for people with available leisure time capable of understanding new and constantly developing rules meant that the game did not spread that easily. The more remote rural areas of the state were fairly slow to adopt the new game, especially in the days before the establishment of the railway network. Many smaller towns tried a version of the game once or twice before returning to the ploughing match and other more relevant rural contests. It would be thirty years after those first exploratory games of 1858 that the first official football clubs would be seen on the Mornington Peninsula. … to be continued Mornington News 3 June 2014

Helping with your child’s foot and leg concerns THERE are some common observations and issues related to children’s feet and legs that parents are often concerned about. We asked Sports Podiatrist, Dr. David Kavanagh from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, to clarify some of these. Flat Feet Contrary to popular belief the appearance of flat feet in children, is NOT usually cause for concern. However, if there is associated pain, balance issues or excessive rolling inward of the ankles, parents should seek professional assistance. Pigeon Toe & Out Toe The appearance of in-toeing (‘pigeon toed’) or out-toeing (‘duck feet’), can affect the capacity of a child to run, jump and balance well. These issues may be assisted during a child’s developmental years and should be checked. Growing Pains Growing pains are very common and are often due to overstrain of the growth plates of growing bones. The exact nature of the

pain should be determined as soon as possible, so should definitely be checked. Shin Pain Medial tibial stress syndrome, anterior leg pain and compartment syndrome are all commonly referred to as shin splints. Any shin pain should be checked. “If your child regularly complains of foot or leg pain or has balance or mobility issues you should get it checked by a Sports podiatrist experienced in treating musculoskeletal issues. The good news is, with proper diagnosis and correct treatment most issues can be addressed quite easily,” says Dr. Kavanagh.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

The Mornington Racing Club inspect sites for racecourse Compiled by Cameron McCullough MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their usual monthly market at Somerville on Wednesday next, when a good yarding is anticipated. *** THE usual monthly meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council was held yesterday. A full report will appear in our next issue. *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Tennis Club will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Tuesday evening next, when a full attendance of members is requested. *** THE Mornington Progress Association working bees are still actively engaged on Wednesday afternoons erecting tree guards, seats, pathways, etc towards the pier. *** MESSRS J Murphy and R Stanley have been appointed joint honorary secretaries for the ball which takes place in the Convent Hall, Mornington, on Wednesday next. *** A PONY, to whom the owner (Mr R Grindal, of Moorooduc) was very much attached, died of old age during the week. The pony was 33 years old, and was bred by Mr Grindal. *** THE postponed dance, under the auspices of the Committee of the Girls’ Cot, to help defray the expenses of a Frankston child who has been in the infections hospital, will be held in the Frankston Hall, on Saturday, June 20th. ***

THE members of the Frankston Choral Society are very grateful to their conductor, who takes such an interest in their work. Mr F Earp has offered to test the ladies’ voices before the practice on Monday evening next. *** THE Cantata, entitled “The Building of the Cross” which was so successfully rendered, under the direction of Mr G Reed at Somerville and Tyabb, will be given at the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, shortly, in aid of the funds of St Paul’s Church of England.

A pony, to whom the owner (Mr R. Grindal, of Moorooduc) was very much attached, died of old age during the week. The pony was 33 years old, and was bred by Mr Grindal.

*** THE committee of the Mornington Racing Club inspected the proposed sites for the racecourse, but nothing definite has been done, as they are awaiting further particulars from Mr Blair and Mr Richardson. The committee will meet again tonight, to discuss the matter. *** THE Mornington Loyal Celebration League has made arrangements with Mr Marchant for an up to date picture

show on Monday night next (King’s Birthday), which will be a fitting termination to the day’s celebrations. Adults will be admitted on payment of 6d and school children free. *** AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions, held on Monday, before Messrs Clements, Crawford, and Williams. J’s P, Wm Stevens was fined 2s 6d for failing to send his child to school. A Coxall was fined a similar amount for the same offence, and Arthur Ryan was fined 2s 6d in each of nine charges in respect to two of his children failing to attend school the required number of days. *** RATEPAYERS are reminded that Wednesday next, 10th June, is the last day for receiving rates to entitle them to be placed on the ratepayers’ roll. Instructions has been issued by the Council to prosecute for the recovery of all unpaid rates after that date, so it would be well for those who have neglected to pay to do so at once, and avoid further trouble and expense. The Shire Secretary will be in attendance at Frankston on Tuesday next and at Somerville on Wednesday, for the collection of rates and any other business. *** FLINDERS SHIRE COUNCIL. The ordinary monthly meeting of the above council was held on Saturday last. *** CORRESPONDENCE: Health Department, drawing attention to risk of contamination to pies, cakes, etc., exposed on outside of glass cases or on counters in shops. It is desired, in accordance with a resolution of the Board, to draw the attention

of councils to this practice with a view to prosecuting offenders. Country Roads Board, stating intention of the Board to pay an amount by way of commission on account of supervision of maintenance works as well as construction works, but the scale of fees has not yet been decided on. E Elliott, Merricks, drawing attention to state of culvert on Hastings

to Flinders road, between Bittern and Hastings. He met with an accident on the 16th inst the wheel going through the decking, thus breaking the wheel, and asking for compensation. Referred to engineer.

A C R Stone, also complaining of state of road and damage to vehicle. Referred to engineer. J Walker, secretary Progress Association, Crib Point, re state of Stony Point road. To be attended to. J Matthieson, state of McArthur street, Dromana. The secretary stated that this had been attended to. E Wilson, Camberwell, re condition of roads leading to his property at Sorrento. West riding councillors and engineer to inspect spot and report. TENDERS: The tender of W Skelton for 200 yards of limestone metal for Sorrento Portsea road at 5s 2d per yard was accepted *** LETTER TO THE EDITOR Sir, Kindly spare me space in your columns to comment on the most deplorable state of the roads in the Hastings township. As I travelled by the evening train about a week ago, and in walking down I thought it was the mud flats I was on instead of a supposed metal road, for the holes in it are more like large crab holes than anything else. As I got into one and what with the road being flooded and the hole, I got wet up to my knees, As for the old fashioned lamps, you have to strike a match to find them. For a township like Hastings, it would be nothing out of place if the Council provided acetylene lamps, as they are greatly needed. The next morning as I went for a walk to see if I had left my boot in the hole or not, I was surprised to see a large heap of metal lying nearby, and so many holes in the road. Yours etc, A TRAVELLER. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 6 June 1914

Lego and other dark arts By Stuart McCullough DID you ever truly hate someone? So much so that their every success leaves a taste in your mouth so bitter that it threatens to ruin your tastebuds for all eternity? Where their slightest triumph or most feeble of victories is like a slap to the face with a wet hamster? An enmity so powerful that it is undimmed by years and distance? I’m talking about the kind of loathing where the mere mention of their name is like a kick in the down-belows by a hung-over Draught horse. I’m ashamed to admit it but I carry precisely that kind of detestation inside me. A bigger person wouldn’t let the accomplishments of others affect them so deeply, but this is a grudge that I have carried for most of my life and there’s not a snowflake’s chance in Laverton that I’m about to let bygones to bygones now. It’s gone too far for that. The simple truth is this: the fires of hatred burn brightly within me for one thing and one thing only: Lego. Let it be said from the outset that the feeling is absolutely, 100% mutual. Odium and abhorrence may well nest within my bosom for an educational toy and, granted, many would consider such naked revulsion to border on the unnatural, but it’s not just one-way traffic we’re talking about. Lego, too, despised me right from the outset. I’d go so far as to say it was enmity at first sight. From the moment I was first big enough to hold a plastic brick in my tiny hands and wonder who turned the television off because I’d rather be watching an episode of

The Banana Splits than wasting my time messing around with the Danish idea of a practical joke, we have been the most bitter of rivals. Some might look at a small plastic brick and see a house, a car or even an entire city, just waiting to be brought to life. I, on the other hand, saw something that didn’t taste very good, de-

spite my repeated efforts. In fact, it’s true that you can make almost anything out of Lego, except dinner. Then there are the little Lego people, with their plastic helmet hair that so closely resembled my own. Even as a child I could tell they were mocking me. I vowed to destroy them. But vanquishing an enemy is no easy thing, particu-

larly when they’re made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene rather than your traditional flesh and blood. However, Lego has done more than just avoid being consumed by the vicissitudes of my smouldering damnation. It has thrived. It has flourished in a way that I could never have imagined. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that it is now more popular than ever. Just last week I received an email from an on-line bookstore to say that Lego would soon be putting out a new novel. Let me simply say that something is drastically wrong with the publishing industry if a bunch of oneinch figurines have published as many books as I have. The sales figures will, doubtless, be staggering. I’m sure that it will be a gripping read. But how should such a weighty tome begin? Perhaps something with a Dickensian feel will appeal to the masses. ‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was playtime’. Or maybe it will be in the form of a diary where we have to sit through the daily problems of an ordinary piece of Lego and its search for love. Sigh. Now that I think about it, the book’s probably a memoir – publishers love that kind of thing. If it were up to me, I’d make it a Choose Your Own Adventure book and make sure all the endings involved being melted in a furnace. Then there’s the Lego Movie that has been so wildly successful that there’s talk of a sequel. How predictable. Personally, I’d prefer a prequel to a sequel any day. Maybe they can get the Lego version of Jar Jar Binks to

appear and stink the thing up good and proper. So what’s left for Lego? A chat show? Reading the news? Big Brother contestant? Maybe a mentor on ‘The Voice’? It’s inevitable that they’ll put out their own album. And although I’d love to declare that the world simply has no use for records made by lumps of plastic, the on-going success of Madonna suggests there’s a market for that kind of thing. Let’s face it, there’s just no stopping them. Lego will rule us all. Clearly, my campaign of vilification has failed. Despite all my letters, the countless petitions and the ceaseless cyber-stalking, Lego has remained wholly immune to my efforts to destroy it. Enough is enough – perhaps it’s time to call a truce. After all, every war must end eventually. It’s probably up to me to make the first move. Perhaps I could kick off my ceasefire by watching the Lego Movie. Or maybe by reading the Lego Book. It couldn’t be any worse than The Bridges of Madison County. It’s time to admit that all this pettiness and vindictiveness is making me less of a human being. I ought to be a little bigger. In fact, I need to surrender and start afresh. Things will be better if I do. But that’s easier said than done. For no matter how hard I try, how often I swear I’ll change, it always seems beyond me. It seems that, after all these years, I… just… can’t… Lego. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance FRONTIER Touring has announced the return of one of music’s most iconic groups to our shores. Renowned for their hit laden sell-out concerts, the Eagles are bringing their critically acclaimed ‘History of the Eagles’ World Tour to Australia and New Zealand in February/March 2015. Notably, it will be the band’s first visit to New Zealand in twenty years. Performing a massive run of shows, the tour will include indoor arena dates in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney as well as special outdoor concerts in Hunter Valley, Auckland and Victoria’s iconic Hanging Rock. The legendary Hotel California outfit will perform their career-spanning History Of the Eagles concerts, which sees members Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B Schmit deliver an incredible three-hour songfest of classic Eagles hits, including tracks the band had never previously performed live Including celebrated favourites such as Desperado, Take It Easy, New Kid In Town, Lyin’ Eyes and Take It To The Limit, the ‘History Of The Eagles’ global trek has already elated fans across the USA and Canada since their latest world jaunt kicked off in July 2013. Last in Australia in 2010 and New Zealand in 1995, the ‘History Of the Eagles’ tour is a mammoth production spanning the globe. Formed in LA in 1971, the Eagles’ seven albums, Eagles (1972), Desperado (1973), On The Border (1974), One Of These Nights (1975), Hotel California (1976), The Long Run (1979) and Long Road Out of Eden (2007), have sold millions of copies worldwide, the Recording Industry of America (RIAA) revealing they’ve sold over 83 million albums in the USA alone. The band reformed for a huge live album in 1994, Hell Freezes Over, and a three-year tour, which broke records worldwide and cemented the group’s place in music history. 2007’s Long Road Out of Eden was a defining disc, with the track I Dreamed There Was No War winning a Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Performance, taking the Eagles on tour to countries as

far flung as South Africa, China and Dubai. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, the year following the Eagles were honoured by RIAA for ‘Best Selling Album of the Century’ for compilation Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975). Notably this album remains the highest selling album of all time in the USA. The Eagles will appear at Rod Laver Arena on Sunday 22 February and Hanging Rock on Saturday 28 February. Tickets 132 849 for Rod Laver and Hanging Rock 136 100. *** ROXETTE will also appear at the Rod Laver Arena on Friday 20 Februray and Rochford Winery on Saturday 21 February. Special guests Boom Crash Opera. Tickets 13 28 49. www.livenation.com.au *** THE Mornington Winter Jazz Festival will be held 6-9 June. Bars, restaurants and parks will come alive with the sound of many jazz artists including

Katie Noonan, Vince Jones and Saskwatch. There will be a number of ticketed events and dinner shows to chose from as well as free jazz music performances held across Mornington all weekend. Tickets are now on sale and you can register online now to receive event updates. www.morningtonjazz.com.au If you would like to be a part of the festival, they encourage artists, community groups and business sponsors to contact the Mornington Chamber of Commerce on 5975 4522 or email info@morningtonchamber.com.au *** MULTI Award winners, The McClymonts have announced a brand new single, album and tour. The album Here’s To You & I will be released on Friday 4 July with the first leg of the album tour commencing the same day. Sisters, Brooke, Sam and Mollie McClymont have been working on their fourth album Here’s To You & I for the past year, splitting their recording time

between Sydney and Brooke’s ‘shed’ studio at her Central Coast home. Having spent most of the past few years in the USA, this is the first album that the trio have recorded in Australia in an effort to reconnect with their roots. The girls worked with renowned Australian producer Lindsay Rimes (Tina Arena, Lee Kernaghan, Stan Walker) on the record. The album is filled with heartfelt stories, irresistible tunes and that unmistakable honesty. The multi-talented sisters from Grafton have come a long way since they first joined musical forces seven years ago. Together they have released an impressive sixteen singles and three albums, and amassed two ARIA Awards (including Best Country Album), eight Golden Guitar Awards and an APRA Award. The McClymonts will appear at Palms at Crown, Friday 25 July and The West Gippsland Arts Centre, Warragul, Sunday 27 July. www.themcclymonts.net.au

the passing of “the dinner dance” phase. The Tower Hotel in Hawthorn has some tales to tell. Commiserations also to the Coalition voters who will suffer under Joe’s budget. Alas, knowing you lot, come the next election you will do the same thing. *** LOOKING on the bright side the harsher the budget, the more chance of getting rid of the deceitful duo. Mr Bland (Billy Boy) is not one to inspire confidence but surely this gives him something to work with. Oh, and thanks for the $175,000 for tour signage on the Mornington Peninsula. *** CONCLUSIONS: A tsunami of narcissism and skulduggery. Philosopher Alain de Botton says to draw pictures of “interesting things” proving the wisdom of philosophers? Perhaps draw a magpie? No, they’re gone, this year at least. I prefer dance. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Maybe log on to arts and culture on the Mornington Peninsula and beyond. Enough! *** WHENEVER there’s a TV news item on property values we see shots of a spiffy looking real estate agent slapping the pamphlet held hand on the other saying “sold” to the lucky buyer, the “lucky” assuming interest rates do not rise beyond repayment limitations. I’ve

attended a few with no intention to purchase, more a fascination of the agent working to the adrenaline of the last two or three would be buyers, or, as is sometimes the case, left hanging mid-air for want of any response. Not always, but sometimes pure theatre. Even better with a female auctioneer. *** SWINGING on a star? USA Senator Paul Tsongas, deciding not to run for re-election after being diagnosed with cancer. “No man ever said on his death bed I wish I had spent more time at the office”. We don’t spend enough time smelling the roses. It’s coming up ten years since my wife passed away. At my age I have nothing better to do than reflect. I was lucky on balance, chance being an enormous factor. Missed World War II, missed the Korean War, public service for 20 years, married 43 years, other jobs, kids, paying the debts. It was towards the end of my time in the public service I had a thought, as it happened my first original thought; the need for a balance between work and living. *** WE had our arguments about money, power and sex; who doesn’t? More a case of separate inner frustrations in living to a pattern (Is That All There Is, Peggy Lee), no matter the circle of friends. My wife tried a meditation group (so she said?) and painting,

enriching her separate world. I tried writing. The love remained as did the arguments but happiness was there in another form, richer. Separate and together. The benefit of computers is there, but only if it frees up time to expand and appreciate your world. The same applies to television. Both want your money, neither necessarily making you smarter. A good job is a good job but unless there’s more to it than money it has limited happiness value. Extend your boundaries if circumstances allow. We only get one shot at it. *** JULIA’S Tim Mathieson having a go at Tony Abbott’s lovely first lady thereby bring the full wrath of my favourite newspaper (Herald-Sun) down on him. Not too bright, Tim. Ditto Daniel Andrews on the suggestion of capping council rates to the CPI. Local government is separate. Cheap politics. *** MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is poised for a new era, as in ‘bye bye democracy’ and farewell to Frank Martin and the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre. Sadly, the powerful win again. Best not to worry; move on. *** WITH all the talk of corruption (fixed gambling) in sport we Collingwood supporters have nothing to worry about. We already get robbed almost weekly

*** UK singer Adele has recently given her fans a hint that she may release a new album this year. The elusive singer has remained largely out of the public spotlight since the huge success of her 2011 album 21. *** FORMER Peninsula School student James Reyne has announced he will do a tour of Australian Crawl songs called ‘The Crawl Files Live’ in August. *** JOEL and Benj Madden are set to release their first album as a double act. The brothers, on hiatus from their band Good Charlotte, will release The Madden Brothers’ debut, Greetings From California, in October. It includes a single co-written with Pharrell Williams. *** Godzilla (Roadshow Films) has smashed its way to the top of the US box office. The 3D monster movie had the second largest debut of the year taking $100.9 million in the first weekend of release. *** A US lawyer is threatening to hold up the release of Led Zeppelin’s upcoming Led Zeppelin IV reissue over credit. The lawyer is representing the late Spirit guitarist, Randy California, who he claims inspired the classic tune, Stairway to Heaven. The lawyer, Francis Molofly, alleges the 1971 single, which appears on IV, was lifted from Spirit’s 1968 song, Taurus, and he is hoping to prevent the rockers from releasing the remastered album…. ***

A Grain of Salt I CAN’T say I’m shocked at Tony’s budget. He promised: no new taxes, no tax increases, no cuts to the ABC or SBS, no cuts to health or education, no pension or GST changes. He got the last one right but I remain a monkey’s uncle. The end of entitlement has begun, as our Treasurer predicted on that world stage (in London) last year in his speech to the movers and shakers. Tony’s answer (“I stand by what I said before the election”) was surely from Alice in Wonderland. Brazen for Tony, hubris for the ambitious blowhard Joe. Powerful bullies. *** THE 2 per cent tax increase for those paid over $180,000 - or $5 a week - is for those who don’t pay tax anyway. $245 million for school chaplains to provide our kids with spiritual guidance? The $7 for a doctor visit to fund medical science can be compared with Napthine’s monorail to Melbourne Airport. No change on the cost to government ($40 billion) of tax concessions on superannuation. Always nice to keep the top 10 per cent chosen ones happy. They need it to pay for their cigarettes. *** COMMISERATIONS to those born after 1965 (pension eligibility), including my daughter, who popped out unexpectedly after a wild dinner dance evening way back when. We oldies regret

By Cliff Ellen

by biased umpires; never reported on by biased commentators, particularly Jason Dunstall, Mark Robinson and Channel 7 commentators. *** OUR state budget: Gambling taxes up $139 million to $1.8 billion. Not bad for a state warning us of the dangers...34 deaths in hospitals over the past two years from 1.5 million admissions.

What not to say to a sleep deprived parent LATELY I’ve noticed that there seems to be a common perception amongst parents whose babies know how to sleep, that parents whose babies don’t sleep are, well, insane. And here’s the thing. As a parent who has endured now 14 months of sleep deprivation and 3 visits to sleep school I’d just like to tell you that chances are, well, we are. And so what I’m noticing is this divide between parents who may have had the odd sleepless night due to illness, teething, separation anxiety and the like and parents who’s little ones just don’t seem to understand the concept of sleep. To help clear things up for everyone and to ease some of the tension that may be brewing amongst your friends or your parents group or your online networks, I have created a list of what not to say to your sleep deprived friends: 1. You just need to listen to your baby and do what’s right by them. Nope. Tried that. Turns out what’s right for my baby is being cuddled, upright with his head on my shoulder while I prance around the room all night. And as he dozes off in to his beautiful baby dreamland and I gently, quietly transition him to his bed he screams bloody murder until I return him to the aforementioned position. Sometimes what’s right for baby, makes mummy go nutso. 2. You can’t expect your baby to sleep for 12 hours straight and the sooner you let that expectation you go, the better off you’ll be! Hold up. When did we say anything about 12 hours sleep. A 4 hour block of sleep would be bliss! 3. Wait til number 2, you

won’t even be able to think about sleep you’ll be so busy! At this rate, we don’t have the energy to think about numero 2, let alone conceive it. 4. Just try not to overthink it! Good point. So when I’m wide awake between 2am and 4am, instead of thinking about why I’m awake and how much I’d rather be asleep, I’ll just think about daffodils and daisies and all will be fine. (Sorry, this ones a bit sarcastic, but those that have spent those hours awake on a regular basis know that it’s pretty tough to do anything but think of sweet, sweet sleep) 5. Have you tried (blanky, night light, patting, rocking,

shushing, music, making the room darker, put them to bed later, earlier, change their bedtime routine, etc)? Yes. We’ve also tried Richard Mercer’s love song dedications and sleeping with an old tshirt that reeks of me and EVERYTHING in between. The only thing we’re yet to try is sleeping pills but trust me, they’ve been considered.

6. I hears ya, my 7 year old still doesn’t sleep through the night Don’t. Just don’t. 7. The baby can sense your anxiety Great, my infant doesn’t know that if he closes his eyes he’ll have an instant remedy for his manic overtiredness but the clever little bugger can smell fear.

8. I’d just let them cry it out, but that’s just me. Oh we’ve tried letting him cry… he just doesn’t get the “it out” part. 9. Any baby can sleep through the night. It’s up to the parent. Oooh thems fighting words! 10. My baby is such a good sleeper. But I think it’s because I…… Because you what? Have a more soothing womb that promoted sleep in your belly? 11. Gosh, my baby woke at 6.30am this morning. I’m so tired! No, you’re not. To those of you who have offered me advice over the past year or so, I truly do thank you and I understand that you’ve only ever tried to help. I also understand that in hindsight your advice would probably have worked for much of the time. Unfortunately, when one is sleep deprived, there’s not much that can be said other than this: “You must be exhausted. Do you want me to mind baby for a couple of hours so you can have a nap?” Or “I have some phenergan in my handbag” By Stacey Anderson, founder of Little Things in Common, a social network for parents looking to connect with others who have things in common.

Eagles stop Kangaroos bounce PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt EDITHVALE-ASPENDALE played some of its best football for the year to lead Langwarrin all afternoon in Peninsula League Football. The Eagles have been incredibly inconsistent this season, however apart from a lapse in the second quarter on Saturday, they controlled the match for the remainder and ran out comfortable 13.15 (93) to 12.6 (78) winners. It was a meeting during the week leading up to this clash that resulted in the turn around of form and general spirit among the group. Despite missing stars including Mark Mullins, Jarrod Garth and Tim Mavric, the Eagles were impressive. Matthew Clark, who was suspended by ASADA while playing for Frankston Dolphins a couple of seasons ago, made his return to football and was superb. Eighteen-year-old Angus Scott was dynamite and used explosive pace to his advantage, while 16-year-old Darcy Warke was tremendous for the winners. And then there was Stevey Mannix who dominated across half back and Brent Bowden who worked tirelessly across half forward and was the best player on the ground with four goals. When the team needed a shot in the arm, on the couple of occasions that Langwarrin was fighting back, Tim Mannix found the footy in dangerous areas and finished with a couple of goals. Matt Kremmer booted two goals up against the boundary line from long range but more importantly, kept Langwarrin’s Rikki Johnston deep in defence, which worked against the Kangas because they lost that drive. Matt Dimkos was a shining light for the Kangas, finishing with six goals. No question he is a stay at home forward and shouldn’t leave the 50 metre circle. Edithvale coach Troy Shannon said

Eagles swoop on Kangas: Edithvale-Aspendale ran out winners over Langwarrin by 15 points. Pictures: Gary Sissons

it was a very different Saturday night at home following the win. “The last couple of Saturday nights (after losses to Mornington and Frankston YCW), “I’ve been laying on the couch with my baby daughter and we’ve both been sucking our thumbs,” said Shannon. “Last Saturday night, I was able to watch the Bombers beat the Tigers, which really topped off a great day.” Shannon said the game was a “little reflective” of his team’s year. “We play some really good quarters of footy and some really poor ones,” said Shannon. “I guess on Saturday we were able to play better for longer. “I thought we both played a similar style of game. I was impressed with

Langwarrin. They just seem a little light-on at the minute in terms of their body size.” There’s no doubt that Edithvale won the clearances and they were also a lot more potent in attack with Nick Connellan, Bowden and Kremmer all up there. Had Garth played, Connellan would have gone back and Dimkos wouldn’t have booted six goals. While Langwarrin started the year well, losses against last year’s grand finalists would suggest they are still not worthy of being included in talk of the top three teams in the competition. The Kangas will be fighting it out with Mt Eliza for fifth spot. Mornington is the sleeping giant after beating Frankston YCW. The Stonecats went into the game

without ruckman Ash Eames (hamstring), while the Doggies were notably missing Dale Nolan and Anthony Franchina. The Dogs got the jump on YCW in the opening quarter and despite being challenged in the third term, were able to push on and record a 10.11 (71) to 8.10 (58) victory. Jai Haddock and Michael Gay were outstanding in the ruck for the winners while Aidan Speedy continued his sensational season with two goals. Brad Ulms shouldered the ruck work for the Stonecats and did the job well. Tony Lester was solid and Scott Macleod finished with three goals. Bonbeach turned it on again on Saturday and continued to build its season, this time beating Mt Eliza. The Sharks opened up a three goal

break in the opening quarter and led by as much as 30 points at different stages in the second and third quarters. The final margin should have been greater considering the Sharks had an additional 13 scoring shots. They won the match 13.16 (94) to 9.7 (61). Shane McDonald was clearly the best player on the ground with six goals while Jackson Casey, Matt Batten and Anthony Raso were also dominant. Nathan Hicks finished with three majors. Karl Lombardozzi and Sam Gill worked tirelessly for the Redlegs. Tommy Shaw booted six goals to help Seaford to a 13.13 (91) to 10.11 (71) victory against arch rivals Pines on Saturday. The Tigers have been playing well but not winning this season. However, on Saturday, they were superb against the Pythons. There wasn’t a lot between the sides for most of the afternoon but when the game needed to be won, the Tigers stepped up. Brayden Irving was released from Dolphins’ duties and was the key difference between the sides, dominating for the Tigers. Nick Boswell also played his best game since returning to the club and coach Ben Crowe was outstanding also. Beau Hendry and Jamie Messina (three goals) were the best of the Pythons, while Guy Hendry and Shaun White also worked hard. Chelsea won its second game of the season, beating Karingal 16.12 (108) to 8.14 (62). Matty Baxter and Hudson Thomas each kicked three goals for the Gulls while Jayden Attard, Richard Jaroszczuk, Daniel Aarsman and Zac Graham dominated. Luke Van Raay kicked three majors for the Bulls and was one of the team’s best, while Grant Goodall and Tom Brennan were also very good for the visitors.

Buds bounce back into action

NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt Rosebud’s season is well and truly back on track after coming from behind to beat Devon Meadows in Nepean League Football on Saturday. It was a must-win game for the Buds, who had won just two matches leading up to the clash. Despite losing three games by less than two goals this season, a loss on Saturday would have seen Rosebud miss out on the final five. Now, the Buds are back in the mix and at the end of the split round, will be just one game outside the top bracket. However, at half time on Saturday, it seemed the Buds’ season was shot. Devon Meadows played their best quarter of footy for the season in the second quarter, booted eight goals to two points and led by 30 points at half time. However, the Buds worked tirelessly in the second hour, thanks largely to skipper Ryan Spooner and Greg Bentley, and got themselves back in the contest. The Buds reduced the margin to eight points at three quarter time and booted 3.6 to 2.2 in the final quarter to sneak home by two points, 11.17 (83) to 12.9 (81). Devon Meadows coach Brent Clinnick said his team was devastated after the loss. “To have 19 inside 50’s in that sec-

ond quarter and play our best footy for the year, then not give a yelp in the second half was really disappointing,” said Clinnick. “I really rate Rosebud as a footy club and they just gone down to work in the second half. “We just didn’t have the same intensity or work rate and basically, we

footy. “Although we were belted by Dromana, we still had almost 30 scoring shots and played some really good footy. “Improvement is all we can ask for,” said Cadd. For the Magpies, that’s two losses in a row. Hastings’ season is over after going down to Somerville by 24 points, 14.6 (90) to 8.18 (66). The Eagles’ jumped the visitors in the opening quarter and led by 20 points at quarter time. Even without coach David Hirst, the Eagles got an even contribution yet again with the likes of seasoned campaigners Stephen Crowe, Luke Collie and Timmy Hirst dominating. Brad Rowe was also very good, Justin Farrelly was back from a shoulder injury and Jake Ryan continues to play consistently good football. The Blues had good service from arguably its best two players in Justin Berry and Brendan Dunne, while Dale Alanis played his best game for the club. In the final game of the round, Frankston Bombers overcame a slow start to best Tyabb 20.17 (137) to 14.11 (95). Zac Longham booted five goals for the winners while Jay Reynolds and James Degenhardt dominated. Jake Anderson kicked four for the Yabbies and Rohan West three while they also collected the top votes.

chased bums in the second half. “The positive is that we are not far away, but with a tough month coming up, it puts us back to the pack a bit,” he said. To make matters worse for the Panthers, it appears star Beau Miller may have torn his ACL, which would be season ending. He came off at the ten

minute mark of the second quarter. “We get Brian Wapshot and Billy Hayes back next week but it’s another big test against Dromana,” said Clinnick. Pearcedale led from start to finish to record its best win for the season against Crib Point, winning 22.10 (142) to 16.20 (116). The Dales’ stars fired with Dylan Hoare getting a heap of the footy, Pat Cadd continuing his superb season and Patty Heijden playing his best game for the year with seven goals. Basil Sibasado also dominated once again with five majors, while teenagers Gordan Waterfall, Lachy Marshall and Aidan Simmons were first rate. Pearcedale coach Ben Cadd said it was a nice feeling having a win. “It was great to play a game of footy with plenty of enthusiasm,” said Cadd. “The boys were really up for the challenge and great belief in themselves that they could win the game. “We’ve played ten first gamers this season and at different times, some have done really well and others not so much. “On Saturday, everything clicked for them and they made a really good contribution. “The kids continue to improve and although there is some inconsistency, as long as we see them improve we’ll continue to get better as a team. “Hopefully the group now understands the levels we need to reach to be competitive and win games of

AT THE GRAND HOTEL

Exquisite in every way Katie Noonan is headlining at The Grand Hotel on Sunday 8th June with her band Elixir. While Katie is the obvious public focal point, Elixir is a trio of musical equals with Melbourne-based guitarist Stephen Magnusson, a major solo recording artist in his own right and Katie’s husband Zac Hurren providing mellifluous, lyrical saxophone lines, which are as distinctive a feature of the Elixir sound as Katie’s sublime vocals themselves.
