Home schooling EDUCATION Minister Martin Dixon has been a busy man of late travelling around the state to announce a raft of school upgrades in the lead-up to the November election. So he was especially pleased to not only be back on home ground last week on the Mornington Peninsula, but to also be able to unveil a major upgrade to a school in his own electorate – a $3 million redevelopment of Rosebud Primary School. The funding includes master planning and a complete stage one rebuild, with six new classrooms for the junior school and the refurbishment of the original school building to house a dedicated music space for the whole school. Mr Dixon took some time out to read a story with pupils Kieley, Ethan, Zack and Cassidy during a tour of the new facilities on Friday. He said the project would provide a significant boost to the students, staff and families of Rosebud Primary School for years to come. Principal Tony Short said the new learning spaces had made a “massive difference” to the school. “It has allowed the teachers to be more flexible in how they teach, which has led to the children being more calm and relaxed,” Mr Short said. “The building is spacious, light and bright and is just fantastic. The children love learning in their new facility.” Picture: Yanni
Bid to reverse ‘stop SPA’ order David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au A COUNCIL decision last week to stop work on the contentious Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre was stymied just hours later by the lodging of a rescission motion, proposed to be considered at Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 13 October meeting. Outraged pro-pool councillors accused their opponents of unethical and unfair behaviour in bringing on the “stop work” matter while the project’s chief advocate, Cr David Gibb, was on holiday.

The rescission motion to reverse the resolution passed on 8 September was lodged the next day, putting on hold all work “progressing” the SPA until at least the 13 October meeting. This date was chosen because all pro-pool councillors will be able to attend. With Cr Graham Pittock unable to vote on the SPA because of a conflict of interest, the mayor Cr Antonella Celi may be able to use her casting vote to reverse the 8 September decision. Announcing the rescission motion, the shire website states: “If a rescission motion is lodged prior to the resolution having come into effect, no further ac-
tion can take place until the rescission motion has been considered.” Considerable legal doubt surrounds this statement. One legal expert asserts that a motion takes effect at the time it is passed. The “stop work” resolution instructed the mayor, Cr Celi, to inform the state government of council’s decision and to “respectfully” ask Minister Ryan Smith to “withdraw his consent to the proposed use of the Rosebud foreshore for the location of the SPA” in his letter to the shire on 25 January, 2012. This letter has not been sent. The res-

olution specified that it be sent “on or before 5:00pm on 9 September, 2014”, the day after the meeting. The legal expert said: “The proposition that the resolution did not come into effect immediately or was contingent on the letter being sent by the Mayor – which is mere machinery to communicate the resolution to the Minister – is nonsense.” The rescission move will itself halt important SPA matters, including progress on the design competition and a delay to a report due to go to councillors that will result in appointment of the preferred architect to begin work
on detailed drawings for the SPA. With the rescission motion listed for 13 October, all SPA work could be on hold until the meeting after that, on 27 October. Then comes the annual meeting, at which a new mayor will be installed, ending Cr Celi’s ability to use her casting vote on SPA and other matters. The 8 September blow-up came during discussion of a Notice of Motion “that nothing further be done by Council and management” on the SPA “on the foreshore Crown land reserve at Rosebud”, lodged by Cr Hugh Fraser.

Fire chiefs warn of ‘extreme’ bushfire risks Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au EMERGENCY services authorities are warning Frankston and Mornington Peninsula residents to brace themselves for a prolonged bushfire season of extreme risk due to unusually dry conditions and predictions of higher than average temperatures over the spring and summer months. Country Fire Authority, Department of Primary Industries and council officers are stepping up efforts to reduce fuel loads across a number of high-risk locations on the peninsula in response to warnings of “significant” risks during an “above normal bushfire season”. Residents are also being urged to reduce fuel loads and ensure their properties are clear of potential hazards. Mornington Peninsula shire council announced last week burn-off restrictions applying to small properties would be eased during October for fire prevention purposes. Shire officials will also conduct inspections of properties to identify fire risks. Owners of properties deemed as posing a fire risk will be issued official notices requiring them take immediate action to remove the hazard identified. Failure to comply carries hefty penalties. Areas around the Mornington region identified as being at “extreme risk” of bushfire and with potentially “catastrophic” consequences due to population density include Mt Martha and Mt Eliza. Further south, Rosebud, Main Ridge, Arthurs Seat and Waterfall Gully are identified as the highest risk locations. Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley said this year’s rainfall deficit and the likely early start to the bushfire season meant areas such as the Frankston and the peninsula needed to be at a heightened level of preparedness. A seasonal outlook released by the Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Cen-

tre in conjunction with state fire services predicts above average Spring temperatures and below average rainfall for Victoria. In response, Mr Lapsley said authorities were preparing for “an above normal bushfire season”, particularly in areas with grass, bush and higher populations, such as the Frankston and peninsula region. “The last fire season challenged fire-fighters and community members alike and Victoria’s emergency management sector is already preparing across the state for the next,” Mr Lapsley said. CFA Chief Officer Euan Ferguson echoed Mr Lapsley’s warnings and said fire authorities were now focussing efforts on reducing risks and urging residents to ensure they were prepared. Mr Ferguson said the warnings contained in the seasonal outlook were of “significant” concern to the CFA. “It reminds us that August has been a very dry month across much of Victoria and … rainfall predictions suggest it's going to be a drier than normal season,” he said.
CFA operations officer for the Mornington Peninsula Sean Kerr said rainfall this year were about 100mm lower than average, which meant vegetation would dry out “a lot quicker” than normal as temperatures heat up. “What that means is there is a lot more fuel on the ground; trees drop more foliage, as well as bark and branches, and grass and shrubs dry out,” Mr Kerr said. “So it’s vital we carry out as much clearing as possible to reduce the fuel load, and it’s important property owners do likewise. “With the sorts of conditions predicted, preparation is essential.” He said the peninsula was one of the highest risk regions in the country for bushfires, while the high number of residents meant risks to life and property were extreme. “People love the peninsula because they can live close to nature, but that obviously comes with some risk,” Mr Kerr said. “We chose to live like this, but we need to ensure we do everything possible to minimise the risk, and that means ensuring you have an active bushfire plan so that you know exactly what to do if a fire breaks out.” He said peninsula residents and visitors needed to be particularly aware of traffic issues, with roads highly susceptible to gridlock. “Our advice is for people to leave at the earliest possible opportunity when fire warnings are issued,” Mr Kerr said. “People need to be aware of potential traffic gridlock in times of emergency, which means they might not be able to get out if they leave it too late. “Traffic conditions can be very heavy at the best of times over the summer months with thousands of holiday makers on the roads, so the potential for people getting trapped if they leave things too late is significant.” Mornington Peninsula fire prevention officer Damien Taylor said the shire was in “full swing”
preparing for the upcoming fire season, with the annual Fire Inspection Program to begin shortly. “The shire will focus its fire inspection efforts in areas of higher bushfire and grassfire risk on the Mornington Peninsula including Arthurs Seat, Mt Martha, the elevated rural hinterland areas of Main Ridge and Red Hill as well as many coastal communities adjoining large expanses of National Park,” he said. “Owners of properties that may pose a fire risk will be issued a fire prevention notice under the Country Fire Authority Act 1958. “Re-inspections will also be undertaken to ensure that any fire prevention notices issued have been complied with, penalties may apply for landowners that do not comply.” Mr Taylor said residents needed to ensure their properties were in a “fire ready” state for the duration of the fire season. “This may include fire prevention works such as slashing grass so it is no higher than 100mm and removing all fallen and dead vegetation around assets, especially cleaning up fine fuels around the home,” he said. Mr Taylor said the shire was relaxing open air burning restrictions on smaller properties during October to encourage residents to clean up before the commencement of the fire season. Open air burning will be permitted during October on properties of less than 1500 square metres on Fridays and Saturdays between 9am and 4pm, with the conditions that no more than one cubic metre of vegetation is burnt at any one time, fire is not within 10 metres of any neighbouring dwelling, and fire safety provisions are followed at all times. “It’s an opportunity to clean up around your property, but ensure you do it responsibly and safely, and keep your neighbours and local authorities informed,” he said. For more information on the Open Air Burning Local Law and the altered regulations for October 2014, visit www.mornpen.vic.gov.au
Riding into the unknown FOR more than three decades, Riding for the Disabled has been bringing joy to the lives special needs families through its volunteer-run equestrian program at Balnarring. But the property the group has used since 1981 to provide groups of disabled people the liberating pleasure of riding horses in a tranquil bush setting was recently sold. The owners have kindly permitted the program to continue until the end of the year, but after that, Riding for the Disabled Peninsula will need to find a new home. Volunteer Jenny Stidston said RDA Peninsula, which is one of 37 Riding for the Disabled centres across Victoria, provided about 60 riders a week the opportunity to enjoy the “wonderful experience of sharing their lives with the 70 volunteers and 10 remarkable horses”. “Apart from the physical benefits of being outside and sitting upright on a horse, the riders, mostly children, also get the wonderful and
satisfying experience of building a relationship with a big, gentle animal who is happy to see them every week,” she said. “This gives the children a huge boost of selfconfidence and self-esteem and they love the time they have riding and look forward to their regular rides with their horses.” RDA Peninsula relies on donations and fund raising to cover the costs of feeding, caring and housing its horses. The group is now looking for a new home base and has put the call out to peninsula property owners who might be able to help. Anyone able to help find a new home to enable RDA Peninsula to continue its programme for disabled children is asked to contact Jenny Stidston on 0439 896 158.

Possum link to ulcer cases Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au NEW cases of the flesh-eating Bairnsdale ulcer have been found on the southern Mornington Peninsula. Dr Daniel O’Brien, deputy director of infectious diseases at Barwon Health, said he had treated “six or seven” cases in the Rye, Blairgowrie and Sorrento areas in the past 12 months. These are among up to 20 cases reported since 2006. There is no clear cause of the condition widely thought to be confined to
the Bellarine Peninsula, where up to 60 cases have been reported over the past few years. Dr O’Brien said on ABC radio last week that, despite experts being unable to pinpoint a cause for outbreaks on this side of the bay, they had noted an abundance of the ulcer bacterium in possum poo. This does not mean possums are carriers, he said, or that they are inked with the transmission of the disease. Dr O’Brien said studies by medical researchers Paul Johnson and Janet Fyfe, of BiomedExperts, had detected
possum faeces “teeming with ulcer bacterium” in areas where the condition had been found. In areas where the disease had not been found, possum poo was not so contaminated. It is possible the possums suffer from the ulcers themselves. He emphasised transmission to people may be caused by mosquito bites or contaminated soil – possibly containing possum poo - entering cuts on the hands of gardeners. “Possums may be accused of amplifying the disease, but we are not advocating killing possums,” Dr
O’Brien said. “All we know is that they get infected and, in some areas, their faeces are teeming with bacteria. “The race is now on to determine what role, if any, possums play.” Dr O’Brien said it was “important people on the southern peninsula know this disease is around”. “Even if we don’t know what causes it, we should take steps to prevent it. “Gardeners should wear gloves, clear possum poo from soil, and wash their hands. The condition can be cured but early detection is better.” He advised residents with sores that
Yacht squadron sails into new era Ms Jacobs said the club-owned and visitor berths would allow visitors to have temporary membership. “The new safe boat harbour and clubhouse will make us a significant player in delivering a great member experience while also adding a new dimension to tourism in this wonderful part of Australia. “The culture of family, friendship and sailing has been the cornerstone of the Club’s success and will continue into our new surrounds.” For more information visit www. bys.asn.com.au
Men charged over theft of church treasure DETECTIVES last week recovered about $10,000 in gold and jewellery allegedly stolen from the Red Hill Greek Orthodox Church in July. This is only a small portion of the $100,000-$200,000 in valuables plundered from a smashed glass box containing an icon of the Virgin Mary, gold rings, chains, bracelets, coins and crosses. The valuables had been donated by worshippers to the Holy Monastery of Panagia Kamariani since 1983. Detective Senior Constable Brendan Fox, of Rosebud Crime Investigation Unit, said inquiries to second-hand dealers had yielded the booty and that he was hopeful more would be found. Two men were arrested following a number of warrants conducted on Friday. They were charged with burglary and theft. A 34-year-old Coldstream man and a 29-year-old Warburton man will appear in Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date. Church secretary Georgie Marinis said The Reverend Father Eleftherios Tatsis was “ecstatic” that some of the valuables had been recovered. “Most of it has probably been melted down and we are to see some photos today. I am not sure what will happen.” She said the church’s insurance company had not put a definite value on the stolen property. The robbery occurred when Father Tatsis was farewelling visitors at the church’s front gate. The thieves are believed to have entered a side door and broken a sealed glass box to steal the items.

THE original Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron clubhouse is being demolished to make way for a new $4 million building, including a function centre. Workers in protective orange overalls were last week removing asbestos from the demolition site. Meanwhile, the squadron has leased out 130 new berths being added as part of the redevelopment, with another 30 berths being retained for short term rental. Boat owners have paid $150,000$540,000 for the 21-year berth leases. General manager Amanda Jacobs said the rental berths would provide an opportunity for the squadron “to be at the forefront of boat tourism on the Mornington Peninsula, with visitors having the opportunity to not only enjoy the stunning new facility, but also soak up the region’s many attractions”. She said the new development has “triggered a spike in membership inquires” with numbers expected to eventually reach 1900. “This project has been in the planning stages for some time, so to see things moving is exciting for members and boat owners in general who will soon get an opportunity to experience what we have,” Ms Jacobs said. “I’ve got no doubt that boat owners around Australia are keeping an eye on what we’re doing. “With the new clubhouse, BYS will be able to offer full service bar and dining facilities to members and those renting short term berths in the harbour. The club will offer breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week during the busy holiday periods – and at other times when demand is expected to be high.”
do not heal, or are spreading, to keep affected areas clean and see a doctor. He said peninsula doctors were well versed on the disease and had the appropriate medicines at hand. Treatment can involve extensive courses of antibiotics – which can cause unwanted side effects – and repeated visits to medical clinics. The Bairnsdale ulcer is so named because it was first detected in Victoria in East Gippsland in 1948. Professor Peter MacCallum wrote a description of the disease when treating patients there.

Campaign begins for next shire CEO MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire launched a newspaper advertisement campaign for a CEO who can “deliver inspirational and visionary leadership�. Whoever gets the $350,000 a year job will also be expected to “drive strategic change� and have the “ability to see things from a fresh perspective�. The current CEO Michael Kennedy believes he is “the very best person� to continue in the role he has held for the past 15 years. One day after councillors surprisingly decided to test the market rather than reappoint him, Dr Kennedy emailed staff – “team-mates� – with the results of his annual performance review. He said his performance had been rated “Very Good, with strong achievement in his performance criteria and exceeding expectations�, adding that the rating “accurately reflects my/our performance over 2013/14, and is consistent with council’s assessment of my performance over many years�. The email notifying staff that he would apply to continue as CEO was followed nine days later on 21 Augusr by a news release from the mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, stating that Dr Kennedy’s performance had exceeded expectations. “All councillors have contributed to a robust and balanced assessment, and have once again rated Dr Michael Kennedy as very good, with strong achievements in his performance criteria and exceeding expectations,� Cr Celi said. The CEO is the only member of staff directly appointed by councillors. Applications for the shire CEO position being advertised by the Slade Group recruitment firm close 28 September. As reported in The News on 19 August (“CEO’s
job to be advertised�) the decision to seek other candidates for the shire’s top job weas made behind closed doors at a “special� Special Purposes Committee Meeting. It is understood that just three of the 10 councillors at the meeting voted to reappoint Dr Kennedy. The shire media release about the councillors’ decision on the CEO was emailed at 10.21am the next day. It was followed 17 minutes later by Dr Kennedy’s “Team-mates� email to staff. The decision to not advertise the job was made in the lead-up to a byelection to fill the then vacant Red Hill ward seat, subsequently won by Cr Tim Wood. Dr – then Mr – Kennedy was hired as CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire in 1999. He was reappointed in 2004, 2008 and 2012, with controversy surrounding the 2004 and 2008 reappointments. Concern was also expressed about the 2012 reappointment, many in the community feeling the market should be tested to see what calibre of applicant might be attracted to the job, which pays more than most state premiers get. The 2008 concern culminated in an Ombudsman’s inquiry in 2009, sparked by community complaints about the reappointment process, especially that of 2004. Then Victorian Ombudsman George Brouwer found the reappointment was lawful. But he criticised the shire’s handling of requests made under freedom of information law. He recommended changes in how the shire dealt with FOI applications and urged counselling for then corporate support manager Noel Buck and for Dr Kennedy. Mr Buck was counselled; Dr Kennedy was not.

the proposer knew that fellow councillors cannot attend the meeting. Dr Kennedy said he knew of no such documents. Cr Garnock then asked if Cr Fraser believed his “engineering” of the matter was ethical, then asked if Cr Fraser “truly” believed that his motion, if passed by a slender majority, was “likely to be seen by the majority of fair-minded residents of the peninsula as a fair and democratic approach”. He then described the motion as “an opportunistic and deceitful cheap stunt”. On a point of order, Cr Bev Colomb said Cr Garnock was indulging in “more of a speech than questions. This is grandstanding,” she said. Cr Fraser declined to answer the questions. Cr Anne Shaw said it was allowable to build a pool on the foreshore, and cited various shire policies to support her argument.

shore land, he said, based on recognition that coastal areas are not static. He quoted Mr Smith, who wrote in the strategy that, “with the influence of wind, tides and waves and weather systems [coastal areas were] highly dynamic. Within reason we must plan for and adapt to what are naturally occurring changes and focus efforts where major infrastructure and precious environments are at risk.” The strategy gave examples of coastal dependent structures, Cr Fraser said. They included jetties, piers, marinas, boat ramps and life saving clubs. Cr David Garnock, opposing the Fraser motion, asked chief executive officer Michael Kennedy whether he knew of anything in the shire’s meeting procedures or other documents that “prohibit or strongly recommend against the deliberate bringing forward of notices of motion, particularly if they relate to highly contentious or hugely momentous strategic decisions” when

Introducing his motion, Cr Fraser said it had been brought on “at the earliest opportunity because last Monday [1 September] the new Victorian Coastal Strategy was gazetted” by Environment Minister Ryan Smith. The strategy made “very plain that a public swimming pool on a foreshore does not support the functioning of coastal activities and cannot be placed on a foreshore”, Cr Fraser said. It uses the phrase “coastal dependent”, defined as “use, and associated infrastructure, which depend on the coast’s natural assets and could not take place at any other location”. Cr Fraser referred to former Labor government minister Gavin Jennings who in 2009 told the shire that “An aquatic centre does not require a coastal location to function”. The new coastal strategy expands on this position, and clarifies the principles and criteria governing use of fore-

Rescue services alarm raised Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au MARINE rescue services across Port Phillip Bay could be set for an overhaul as a result of a report tabled in State Parliament this month. The Inquiry into Marine Rescue Services in Victoria report found oversight of voluntary water rescue crews is “ad hoc”, under-funded and potentially not “fit for purpose”. A committee of cross-party MPs chaired by Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess produced the 246-page report. The report took eight months to complete. While the report stated marine services and rescue (MSAR) is “essentially ungoverned”, volunteers’ were praised for their “dedication and commitment” despite a lack of oversight and funding. The committee found Victoria’s volunteer marine search and rescue is not subject to legislative or regulatory oversight at state level and “has been largely ignored and left to fend for itself”. Alarmingly, the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Association noted in its submission to the inquiry that: “in the absence of accreditation, ‘anybody’ can commence operating as a marine rescue organisation anywhere in Victoria, irrespective of their capability… without being subject to minimum standards for the provision of marine rescue services”. Victoria Police often act as the ‘control agency’ during rescues and incidents at sea but also expressed concern about the capability and experience of volunteers entrusted to help those in distress. Inspector Mark Arneil, manager of the Water Police and Search and Rescue Squads based at Williamstown, told the committee that police do not have “total clarity” about volunteer resources due to a lack of an accreditation process. “One of the areas of concern for me at the moment is that, whilst my people coordinate all these agencies to go out and do the rescues, we have no real level of comfort around what their capability is, so we do not really know and we only task them
on previous experience, knowing that they can do the job,” Inspector Arneil said. Water Police maintain a register of volunteer MSAR resources, but this is updated “periodically… and in accordance with information received” from volunteer coast guard groups. Inspector Arneil said Victoria Police could not comment whether any volunteer MSAR organisation is “fit for purpose”. The committee made 43 recommendations as a result of its investigations and chief amongst the proposals was the need to establish a new governing body to manage Victoria’s MSAR volunteers, similar to the management setup at the CFA and SES. An annual audit of MSAR capabilities would be conducted each year by the governing body. Transport Safety Victoria backed the introduction of an accreditation and audit process, as did many voluntary coast guard organisations. The Southern Peninsula Rescue Squad advised the committee that it was not “completely opposed” to joining a single state-wide volunteer MSAR organisation. However, it did not support a model which involved its merger or affiliation with one of the larger organisations such as AVCGA or Life Saving Victoria. There is a danger the committee’s report could languish in bureaucratic limbo thanks to the timing of November’s state election. A previous state-wide review of the volunteer MSAR sector carried out by Ernst & Young 12 years ago, when the Bracks Labor government was in office, also recommended the establishment of a governing body. The committee stated: “Surprisingly, none of the reforms have been implemented. This situation is particularly concerning in view of the fact that the model proposed in the Ernst and Young report was aimed at minimising the possibility of an injury or a death occurring during an MSAR incident.”

LETTERS Council review due Our factional Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors appear to have taken advantage of the absence of Cr David Gibb and voted to stop the Rosebud SPA (Southern Peninsula Aquatic centre), 5:4 against. Cr Graham Pittock has been convicted over a conflict of interest when previously voting against the SPA and was not allowed to vote. It was determined [by a court] that his business would benefit with no SPA. Over the past 10 years I have been questioning the competence and integrity of this council and have been frustrated by factional decisions. I believe that the council is in urgent need of review. Something I believe is unlikely to happen under the current CEO or while we have a state Liberal government. Terry O’Shea, Halls Head, Western Australia
Appalling behaviour I witnessed the most appalling behaviour at the Mornington Peninsula Council meeting on Monday 8 September. We saw Cr Hugh Fraser being verbally abused by Cr David Garnock and Cr Andrew Dixon. The two councillors in question hurled a tirade of abuse at Cr Fraser because he had the temerity to put forward a motion that was going to prevent the SPA from being situated on the Rosebud foreshore once and for all. The gallery had to point out the abuse before the mayor [Cr Antonella Cheli] decided to "chide" both those councillors. We had a mayor constantly eating while presiding over the meeting which, in my mind, was showing contempt of procedure, to her fellow councillors and the gallery.
Common sense prevailed this night, the pool will still go ahead when there is money and definite plans, not on Crown land on the foreshore but a suitable site inland where it should be. We had words like underhanded, devious and undemocratic thrown at Cr Fraser, which was rather strange, as I recall one of the abusers reneged on his commitment of protecting the foreshore from a pool once he took office. Anyone who spoke for the motion was derided in some way. In short, we saw the true colours of the pro-pool group. We had it all this night, even crocodile tears shed on behalf of the residents of Rosebud. Apparently we are going to be the poorer for the pool being built on other than the foreshore. It seemed the only democracy acceptable was the democracy of the pro-pool faction. It was a vengeful meeting of the worst kind. John Cain, McCrae
Conduct becoming Elected representatives rely on their public perceptions to get elected, so I was astonished to read of Cr Graham Pittock’s guilty finding on a conflict of interest charge (‘Pittock guilty of conflict over gym’, The News 2/9/14). Graham Pittock is as honest as the day is long and an absolute pillar of society, it is not in his DNA to put his own interests ahead of others. I met him at a meeting of Dromana State School’s 150th celebrations committee when he was mayor of the shire. No one introduced us, so he introduced himself. He had taken interest in a portfolio I had containing photos of paintings by United States illustrator, Melbourne Brindle, of the old paddleboats plying Port Phillip. Like me he was fascinated by the
images and when I told him the paintings themselves were in a storeroom in Boston, Massachusetts, he was astonished. Thanks to Graham Pittock the paintings of the Ozone, The Weeroona and Brindle’s ‘Diggers Hat on Landing’ are now in Dromana, where they belong. With approval from his council, the Weeroona painting was purchased for the regional gallery from his ward allowance. It now hangs at Dromana State School where Brindle received his entire education. He bought the Ozone painting privately, which now has pride of place in his home. Through his family, the Diggers Hat painting was purchased and now hangs at the local RSL. Graham insisted I attend the Anzac Day breakfast in 2012 to talk about the painting at its handover where I was seated at the VIP table. Whenever I bump into him in public he introduces me as “the man who discovered Melbourne Brindle”. While the acquisitions of the paintings was happening, he was proudly building his squash courts oblivious, like all of us, that this venture would one day land him in trouble. On his last day as mayor with the building only half complete, he insisted my wife and I attend the official opening by “mayoress” Prue Pittock and his mum who cut the ribbon. Like many people, Cr Pittock thinks the Rosebud foreshore is not the most suitable location for a swimming pool. If there is any hidden agenda in that concept, anything sinister, then there is a side to this bloke that has eluded me completely. Fred Wild, Rye
Time for change Growing Our Community has been
arguing for the past five years that the culture within the Mornington Peninsula Council is unhealthy. There appears to be two obvious factions in the council chamber. Council decisions appear not to be made from a right or wrong perspective but, instead, voting reflects a faction’s position. In the recent past we have made formal complaints against three councillors. Two went to the token internal investigation procedure and, not surprisingly, were brushed aside. The third was not even responded to. We are heartened that the inspectorate is now treating complaints against councillors seriously and we intend to follow up. We believe that the CEO no longer has the majority of council to support him and we hope that he is replaced. We seriously suggest any replacement CEO order a serious review of the planning department. Per Carlsen, Growing Our Community, Mt Eliza
Crude oil spill Referring to Maurice Schinkel’s letter (‘Crude oil spill’, Letters, The News 9/9/14), as the Western Port region oil spill incident controller at the time mentioned I can assure you that this incident had nothing to do with shipping operations. I was present at the incident and with the EPA, under whose direction the clean-up proceeded, my part being to ensure that no oil entered the waters of Western Port to which end we were successful. It was a landside incident to the west of Cemetery Rd, Tyabb, which had nothing to do with Long Island jetty or the gas plant to the east of Cemetery Rd. Why would [Port of Hastings
Development Authority CEO] Mr [Mike] Lean have to know about this 23-year-old incident which was not within his domain? Should he also know of every vehicle incident where fuel is washed into a drain that might eventually end up in Western Port? Should he also comment on the chronic hydrocarbon inputs after rain washes the roads into the drains that make their way into Western Port or the amount of oil put on the waters by two stroke outboard engines? Captain Dick Cox, former Western Port harbour master
New deal on SPA approach THE Nepean Ratepayers Association says it will “deal directly with shire councillors” in connection with the planned Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) after a senior shire official said he was “too busy” to respond to their letters. NRA president Colin Watson said he and infrastructure expert Stuart Allen had met shire sustainable organisation director Bruce Rendall with concerns about the SPA’s finances, “claims of net community benefit and lack of shire-wide consultation”. In a letter dated 3 September sent to all councillors, Mr Watson said that “due to the outcome of our meeting with Mr Rendall, we will now forward our concerns with the process in relation to SPA directly to councillors”. Mr Rendall declined to comment when approached by The News through the shire’s public relations department.

Up close: Native orchids now popping up in reserves and gardens, include, from left, the slaty helmet (Corybas inzurvus), hyacinth (Dipodium roseum) and donkey (Diris drummondi).
Orchids spring into view NATIVE orchids are blooming in reserves and gardens throughout Frankston and the Mornington peninsula, including, Greens Bush at main Ridge, Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve and along the trail from Arthurs Seat to Bushrangers Bay. Described as being “subtle but spectacular”, some orchids are small and not brightly coloured and are often missed, even when growing on the edges of walking tracks. This also means walkers should stay on paths to avoid trampling the fragile plants. Places to look for orchids: Baldry’s Circuit track in Greens Bush, Mornington Peninsula National Park. Two Bays Walking track through Arthurs Seat State Park and Greens Bush. Bushrangers Bay track from the Cape Schanck car park. Various walking tracks through Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve. These areas have the largest patches of remnant bushland on the peninsula. One orchid that is not so attractive is the South African Orchid or Disa bracteata which is found in a few isolated places on the peninsula, includ-
ing Greens Bush. After its accidental introduction to Western Australia in the 1940s it has spread east, invading new areas by producing large number of seeds. Unlike the dainty native species, the stout fleshy spike of this orchid grows to 35cm with up to 50 tiny brown flowers. It is regarded as a threat to the biodiversity of parks and any sightings should be reported to the local parks office. Removal is not advised as it can trigger multiple reshooting and encourages spreading. Many orchids are highly specialised and need certain conditions and soils and relationships with other plants and insects. Some trick particular species of native bees or wasps into trying to mate with their flower which looks like an insect, by releasing chemicals to attract them. Orchids are an important part of park ecosystems and should not be picked. For more information on orchids contact the local branch of the Australasian Native Orchid Society at www.anosvic.org.au

Both bays offer options THE fishing continues to get better by the week as the weather heats up. While snapper talk is starting to flood the airwaves, anglers shouldn't forget about the other fishing options. The top end and southern end of Western Port continues with its run of good squid fishing. Snapper are now starting to show in both the north and south. While the snapper are only isolated fish at the moment larger schools will show in the next few weeks. Also getting caught at the moment are pike, whiting, barracouta, flathead and gummy sharks and small school sharks. If you put the time in on the water you'll be rewarded. There's a lot of bait in the water and all indications are leaning into a good fishing season. Port Phillip is also starting to change into snapper season, however it's early days. Squid have been solid throughout the eastern side of the bay. In the south the squid on average have been larger and jigs in the 3.0-3.5 range have been best, while further north squid have been more plentiful but smaller, in these areas a 2.0-2.5 jig has been doing the damage. Port Phillip is also full of bait and snapper are about and although no huge schools have shown yet, this will change in the next two weeks. Large schools of salmon have been showing regularly from Mt Martha to Mt Eliza. Keep an eye in the sky and watch the birds as they'll lead you to the salmon. Other species being caught in Port Phillip include gummy shark and seven hill shark in the channels and flathead and gurnard on the sand. From the piers, squid have been a solid option from all platforms. Other species include grass whiting from Flinders and garfish from Mornington. If you’re looking at hitting the surf beaches some solid salmon are getting caught during the day and in the evening gummy sharks are getting landed. For the best chance of beaching a gummy try using chunks of fresh salmon (Australian) as bait.

French riviera style YAMMINGA is one of those rare treats that takes an “If only” and turns it into an “I want”. No expense has been spared here in creating this stunning riviera inspired property that offers a lifestyle of absolute comfort and ease within walking distance to Daveys Bay. The enchanting French-influenced gardens afford a sparkling bay view and creature comforts that adorn the 1609-square metre block include an in-ground, solar heated pool with spa as the centrepiece to a beautiful stone-flanked paved palazzo. Red wrought iron gates guard the front of the property and once through, a gently curved driveway leads past manicured hedges and tall conifers to a double garage under the roof line. The garage has loft storage and a handy addition is the lift that takes you up to the kitchen level. The home is situated lengthwise along the block and as such has an effortless flow from room to room. From the kitchen, which is appointed with every convenience the budding master chef would require with an abundance of storage, a large island bench, a massive recessed space for a double door refrigerator, two wall-ovens and a walk-in pantry, a pleasant casual meals area has a wonderful view of the pool, as does a cosy sitting area. The grand formal lounge and dining areas beckon with their rich polished timber floors and from here you can access one of three viewing decks. The south-east wing includes one bedroom – which opens out to a second deck, another quiet sitting area, private study and a powder room with shower, making this zone quite suitable for guest quarters. Upstairs, two more bedrooms share another bathroom and the larger main bedroom has a wall of built-in robes, and a walk-in robe leads through to an ensuite.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA NEWS realestate 16 September 2014
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Battle of weeds and thistles declared Compiled by Melissa Hodge SID O’Neil and Cyril Richardson, two well known campers at Frankston have been accepted as members of the Expeditionary Forces, and they may be relied upon to give a good account of themselves when at the front. *** THE Kooyong Club Patriotic concert takes place this (Saturday) evening, in the Frankston Mechanics Hall, when the programme put on the stage will be one of the best. This, in addition to the object for which the concert is being given, should ensure a bumper house. *** A REMARKABLE storm passed over the Dookie district on Tuesday after noon, followed by a phenomenal fall of rain. At Yabba North and Youan it was heavy, over 50 points being registered in minutes. Roadways and paddocks were covered with water. The fall was most opportune. *** A VISITOR to the Expeditionary Camp on Sunday was informed by Privates Harry Corington and Bert Roberts that the pipes the boys gave them were “just the thing” and smoked “fine”. Also that the wristlet watches were a great convenience and pleasure, causing some little envy amongst their comrades who were without the useful article. *** THE Defense department announces that Dr’s Maxwell (Frankston), Somers (Mornington), and J. de B. Griffith (Somerville) have offered to give free medical attention to the wives
and children of soldiers from their districts who are accepted for active service. The medical men have been cordially thanked by the Minister. *** Battle of weeds and thistles SATURDAY, September 12th, was proclaimed ‘The Day.’ The weeds and thistles had taken up their residence at the Frankston cemetery, a number of visitors and neighbours noticing their inroads, reported to the authorities that it was time something was done to improve the existing state of affairs. The Frankston Progress Association and the Cemetery Trust declared war. The enemy had become firmly entrenched in their occupation of the best positions in the cemetery, and thinking those interested were unprepared, they increased rapidly. The Progress Association called for volunteers and recruits and a splendid muster assembled, well armed with modern implements of warfare and some very old fashioned but useful tools. The officer commanding gave orders to approach the enemy in open order, the attack to commence on Saturday afternoon. Despatches were in charge of Captain C. Gray, of the Head Quarters Frankston Staff, who went in advance of the main column. The advance party was composed of the Langwarrin division, led by Captain W. Oates, and by the time the main army of workers arrived great inroads had been made in the ranks of the weeds and thistles by
parties including Lieuts. H. Oates, S. Lawrey, Corlett, P. Murray, O. Wells and Matson. Captain T. Bailey, an old campaigner of many wars of this kind. Many vehicles had been commandeered for transport and within a few minutes of the commencement of operations the battlefield was a scene of great activity among the Allies. The Medical Corps consisting of Dr Maxwell (President of the Progress Association) and Dr S. Plowman did good work. The efforts of the water carrier and E.K. Punch for restoratives were very helpful to the thirsty combatants. (By our Special War Correspondent.) *** FRANKSTON railway station was the scene of unusual activity on Friday morning, the occasion being the departure of another batch of volunteers from this district who are anxious to join the second Expeditionary Force. The President of the Shire (Cr Oates) has been busily engaged during the last week in enrolling names, with the result that 24 volunteers answered to their names this morning at the railway station, en route for the depot in Melbourne, where they will pass under examination as to their fitness or otherwise to be passed on to the Camp at Broadmeadows, for further preliminary drill prior to their departure to the war. *** HASTINGS Annual I.O.R. Ball. The annual ball in connection with
the I.O.R. tent at Hastings was held on 4th September, when the attendance fell somewhat short of that on previous occassions, owing doubtless to other attractions being held in Somerville in the shape of the local footballer’s social which unfortunately was advertised for the same evening. Nevertheless a most enjoyable time was spent by those who attended, the arrangements being in every way complete and reflected great credit on Mr B. Harrison, the secretary of the movement. A long programme of 24 dances, with several extras was gone through to the excellent music supplied by the Westernport orchestra. The following are some of the dresses worn on the occasion : -Mrs T. Roberts, black lace over amber satin. Miss A. Campbell, shell, pink chartreuse satin, polonaise tunic of pink ninon, and recked ribbon. Mrs B. Sposito, black silk, lace bodice, with sequin trimmings. *** THE annual meeting of the Peninsula Cricket Association was held at Hastings on Wednesday evening last. Delegates were present from Tyabb, Somerville and Naval. Mr H. T. Noble (president) occupied the chair. The balance sheet showed a credit balance of £4 15s 6d. It was decided to continue the association for the coming season, and Mr Noble and Mr Hollier were elected chairman and secretary respectively. The date of next meeting was fixed for September 30th when the election
of officers etc. will take place. *** IN the place of their usual social St. Paul’s Club, Frankston, staged a three act comedy, ‘Who’s Who?’ on Saturday last at the Mechanics’. To judge from the roars of laughter which punctuated each of the many jokes and comical situations the players achieved the success they desired. The plot centres round the disguise assumed by a young man (Tom) in order to gain the consent of his father (General Stanhope) to his marriage with his father’s ward (Daisy). Tom copies his disguise from a photograph that he had picked up, with the result that he is exactly like each of twin brothers, Dick and Harry, who shortly after arrive on the scene. Daisy, Dick’s wife (Mrs Winters) and Harry’s fiance (Molly) all make some bad mistakes. But the most bewildered of all is the general himself. The third act is placed in the office of a lunatic asylum, of which Dr Wagner is superintendent. There the attendants make fearful mistakes, arresting Tom, Dick and Harry in turn. The staging of this comedy is the most ambitious effort that this club has yet made. They showed ability in the acting, which had evidently been very carefully rehearsed. The club was fortunate enough to have the help in some of the rehearsals of Mr J. O’Sullivan, who a is well-known in Frankston, and on the night he and Mr Edwards did the makeup. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, Sept 19, 1914.

Ducks take a fall for the garden DUCKLINGS are falling out of trees, but that is not their biggest problem. Young wood ducks are usually hatched high up in a tree hollow and leave the nest in the only way they know how. By jumping. The real perils wait on the ground, particularly from cats, foxes and motorists when families of ducks attempt to cross busy roads. “During early spring and particularly after a lot of rain, mother wood duck starts setting up her home in a tree hollow high above the ground where she will lay around 10 eggs,” Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife CEO Susanna Bradshaw said. Ms Bradshaw said male wood ducks “will stand guard at the base of the nesting tree” while the female incubated the eggs. “When the ducklings are ready to leave the nest, the only way out is by jumping and plummeting several metres to the ground,” she said. “But don’t worry if you see fluffy little chicks falling from the sky as this is very normal for wood duck babies and they will just bounce and waddle off as if nothing happened.” Ms Bradshaw said wood ducks avoided swimming but stayed close to water to eat plants that grow in moist environments. They would swim away from danger if needed. “Wood ducks are predominately herbivores, feeding on small grasses and herbs but they will also eat the odd insect—which makes them good buddies to have around your backyard,” she said. “They aren’t always as well liked as
some of our other Aussie animal visitors as they sometimes get in trouble for pooing in backyards, particularly around swimming pools and nibbling on lawns.” Ms Bradshaw said wood ducks helped by eating weeds and insects “while fertilising your garden at the same time”. “Remember that wood ducks like to move around a lot and their disruptions are usually just seasonal, so they won’t be in your garden permanently.”

Sorrento’s new season starts IT was a real numbers game at Sorrento Bowls Club last week as members celebrated the club's 80th anniversary. The club was established in 1934 when ladies were allowed to play croquet on a separate, smaller green, alongside the lawn bowls area. Today the club has 20 rinks with capacity for 160 bowlers. As tradition dictates, the opening bowl was rolled on the green by a club notable - and this time around the honour went to 99 year old Jack Anderson who’s been a member of the club since 1978. Mr Anderson was made an honorary member of the club and, on hand to congratulate him was the club's youngest member, Jess Murphy, 29, who is 70 years Jack’s junior. She was ready to learn whatever tricks Jack was willing to impart. The opening of the season was held in perfect springtime conditions, with a light breeze that Sorrento lawn bowlers love. From now on through summer the club will welcome barefoot bowlers to their greens as day visitors and campers flock to the peninsula. Try Bowls Days will be held 10.30am-6pm on Sundays 12 and 26 October. The club welcomes newcomers to discover what makes lawn bowls one of the fastest growing sports and recreation activities in Victoria. For information on how to join the club or book in for barefoot bowls call Sorrento Bowls Club Inc. on 5984 2831 or president Tom Ward on 0412 362 249.

Expert help for sore feet and legs IF you suffer from heel pain, arch pain, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, arthritis, shin pain, bunions or injuries, you can rest assured because expert help is just around the corner. Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s leading Musculoskeletal Podiatry practices is having enormous success assisting Mornington Peninsula residents with pain, injury and degenerative concerns. The clinics have successfully treated tens of thousands of people of all ages and lifestyles, from children to athletes and seniors, and guarantee a personalised approach and evidence based treatment plans aimed at ending your foot and leg pain onceand-for-all. Renowned for successful patient outcomes, Foot + Leg Pain Clinics services are sought from far and wide. They’ve been the chosen Podiatrist’s for some of the world’s best athletes, individuals who have climbed Everest, walked the North and South Poles and won Olympic gold medals. They’ve also assisted thousands of others just like you! Sports and Musculoskeletal Podiatrist, Dr. Tim
Kirwan, who heads the Rye clinic says, “Health and healing is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We achieve consistent, successful and long-term outcomes for patients because we take an individual approach considering patients’ nutritional status and requirements, lifestyle factors and overall health and injury concerns; we spend time finding and addressing the cause of concerns and not just treating the symptoms; take a holistic approach, which is so important because one issue can set off a chain reaction in the body, and keep up-to-date with the very latest medical research and treatments.“ Foot & Leg Pain Clinics have been assisting peninsula residents for over 8 years. They’ve helped many who have suffered for years, others who’ve been told that nothing can be done for them and even assisted some to avoid medications and surgery. For expert advice or treatment at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Rye or Mt Eliza call 1300 328 300. The clinics are currently offering new patients $50 OFF their intial consultations.

Confessions of a teenage contortionist By Stuart McCullough IT snuck up on me. As far as I was concerned, I had remained much the same age for the past 20 years. But somewhere along the line, things have changed. I suppose there were signs – creaking joints, eyebrows that can only a whipper snipper can control and a face with more creases than unironed laundry; all of them clues to my advancing years. But I ignored them all. Only when the truth was staring at me in the face and holding a mirror did it truly dawn on me – I am getting on. We were attending a live music show. I call these events “gigs” but am unsure whether this terminology still resonates with the younger generation. Or, for that matter, if most of them are aware “live music” exists. For all I know, the mere use of the word gig immediately identifies me as someone from a distant age, in which terms like gig were used along with groovy, wireless and horseless carriage. As I stood in the venue, I ran into an old friend. By that, I mean he called out my name and I turned around, rather than some kind of low-speed incident in the car park requiring the exchange of insurance details. We chatted, as old friends do, and watched while the support band did its best to win over an audience that was, at best, distracted or, worse, yet to arrive. The band was playing earnest indie folk rock and it was the kind of music my friend and I could relate to as, once upon a time, we had played some earnest indie folk rock of our own.
It brought back memories – not all of them good. As I recall, when writing an indie folk rock song, your job is to summon as much raw emotion and pain as possible. In retrospect, the pain was mostly that of the listener, as I wailed my heartfelt ditties like a spanked cat. If I was to summarise my song writing efforts of the era, I’d probably go with “attempted profundity”. In 20 years, not much has changed
in the indie folk rock scene. Much like professional wrestlers, today’s songwriters are still very much attempting to “bring the pain”. But as excruciating as it was, it was made even more awkward by the efforts of the band to be noticed. Rather than by means of fascinating song-craft and undeniable melodies, the band members engaged in shameless “rock shaping”. Rock shapes are the movements you make with your body while weighed
down or otherwise inhibited by your instrument. It’s not dancing, as such, but it does represent an attempt to display the rhythm of the song by way of body movement. The prime culprit in the band we were watching was the bass player. Perhaps he was a retired jazz ballet student or a former mime artist. Whatever the case, he did everything short of strap fireworks to his ears to stand out. Contorting his body, it was as if he had earlier swallowed a key and was now trying to work the object through his system. It would not have surprised me if, at the end of the set, he had produced a metal object, held it aloft and waited expectantly for the crowd to applaud his efforts. George Harrison may well have had an album called All Things Must Pass, but the bass player had taken this far too literally. My friend and I shook our heads as this young musician made a complete tool – probably a chrome vanadium steel 16-inch spanner – of himself. But in the midst of our merriment, it struck me. In fact, much like a chrome vanadium steel 16-inch spanner, the realisation came on me with great force. Here was I, with my friend, talking about how different things were in our day. The words “in our day” rang in my ears like a blast of feedback from a stage monitor. I could ignore the state of my eyebrows, the hair in my ears, the pain in my joints and the fact that school children have started offering me their seats on public transport – it was a single conversation of the “back in our day” variety that finally caused
the penny to drop. The fact of it being a penny rather than decimal currency only made things worse. My misery was compounded by the fact that I knew, deep down, that I had once been just like that bass player. I, too, had once writhed around in front of a paying audience as though I was locked in mortal battle with my digestive system. My humiliation was compounded by the fact that I wasn’t a bass player but, rather, stuck behind the keyboards. There is, I feel, nothing in this world quite as sad as a keyboard player who craves attention. Certain instruments lend themselves to throwing rock shapes. Guitarists have it easy. Singers can get away with murder. Bass players run the risk of having people accuse them of wanting to be a guitarist. Keyboard players, however, must suffer the indignity of being accused of being a keyboard player. It is a charge from which there is no escape. For all my efforts, audiences remained immune to my charms and I quietly retired. It’s time to accept that I’m getting on. Rather than make fun of young men who appear to be in the grip of a savage tape-worm attack, given my age the responsible thing to do is to walk up, put an understanding hand on the shoulder and say “No”. I only wish that someone had done that much for me. Getting older is not so bad, even if my best rock shapes are now behind me. It can only be a good thing. www.stuartmccullough.com

Magpies storm home to crush Demons NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt CRIB Point staged one of the great finals comebacks against Rye in the Nepean League Preliminary Final on Saturday to advance to the 2014 Grand Final. Down by 29 points at three quarter time, Crib Point booted seven goals to two in a blistering final term to get-up by the smallest of margins, 15.15 (105) to 15.14 (104). Rye dominated the majority of the match up until three quarter time, but had no answers to the fast finishing Magpies in the final term. Knowing he needed to roll the dice in the final quarter, Crib Point coach Duane Annable pulled off a couple of moves that really did win the match. His big four goal kicking weapons are Glenn Boyd (three goals), Luke Herrington, Jon Flack (five goals) and Brad Davidson (three goals). Rarely do all of them play in the forward line at the one time. However, in the last quarter, Annable loaded up his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front half and the result was an avalanche of goals. All four of them contributed on the scoreboard in the final quarter. In fact, Davidson, as he so often does, snapped a goal from the boundary with 90 seconds left on the clock to put the Pies in front for the first time since early in the first quarter. Whilst Annable loaded his forward line, it was important that he got the footy down to them in the first place.
To achieve this, he put Waide Symes and Dean Warry in the middle with Brad Arnold and Sam Austin. The domination of the clearances Crib Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way in the final quarter was staggering and it put Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defence under enormous pressure. The comeback was even more impressive given the fact that star ruckman James Cook went down early in the first quarter with a knee injury. He came back onto the field and looked only 70 per cent but he gave his all for the team in the short spells that he spent in there. Young key defender Zac Dekluever was forced to do the majority of the ruckwork for the Magpies when Cook went down. He did a sensational job competing against Rye skipper Rhett Sutton in the centre bounces and was more than competitive around the ground. To be truthful, the Magpies were lucky to be within five goals at three quarter time. Make no mistake, other than kicking the first two goals of the game, the Magpies were smashed from that point on until the final change. But what Crib Point was able to do was kick goals against the tide and just stay in the contest. This was largely due to the efforts of Flack, who was clearly the best player on the ground. Sam Austinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work through the middle of the ground was also superb, as was Symesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, while Dean Kairies provided enormous run and drive from
half back. He was able to run and carry the footy, a lot like Warry, which always kept the Rye defence under pressure. Up until three quarter time, Ryan and Luke Semmel (three goals) were dominating through the middle and around the ground for the Demons, while Ben Holmes (five goals) was looking ominous in attack. Andrew Dean was also on song up forward, finishing with three goals and Sutton and Ben Cain were combining well around the ground. In defence, Leigh Morse was in total control and putting his body on the line on countless occasions. However, the Demons had no answers in the final quarter. In fact, they ran out of steam. Rye players began to cramp, especially Ryan Semmel, who ran himself into the ground, while others appeared to be running on the spot. The Demons didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do themselves any favours either. Despite the constant surges forward from the Magpies, at no stage did Rye get numbers behind the footy to try and clog things up. The Demons also tried to go toe to toe with the Pies, rather than slowing things down, playing tempo footy and keeping the pill out of the hands of the rampaging opposition. Rye forward Brady Egan had a chance to win the game with just seconds left on the clock in the final term but kicking against the breeze, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite get the journey, nor the accuracy, from 50 metres out. Andrew
Dean also missed one from 20 metres which could have snuffed out the Pies. Crib Point has made a reputation for itself this season that no matter what position it is in, it will keep playing the game out to the final siren. The only game when the Pies put the cue in the rack this season was against Red Hill at Red Hill, when they rested players after half time. The success of any team comes from the fact that they get a contribution from everyone. While the stars shone when they need to, it was the likes of Zac Condick, Jake Bromley and Beau Monty who really stepped up to the plate when they needed to for the Magpies. Crib Point coach Duane Annable couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been happier with his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to keep fighting, keep themselves in the contest and then storm home the way they did. However, he found it hard to believe his club was in a Grand Final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all a bit surreal to be honest,â&#x20AC;? Annable said on Sunday morning before recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a big effort from the boys and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just so happy for everyone involved in the Crib Point Football Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people have put in a lot of hard work and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just reward for them that we were able to get here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a playing and coaching point of view though, the job is far from done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We certainly celebrated the win on the final siren and sang the song pretty hard in the rooms but the minute we
finished the song, it was back down to business again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team went straight to the beach after the match and there was no celebrating on Saturday night. It was then to recovery at the beach again on Sunday morning.â&#x20AC;? Annable said his message was pretty simply at three quarter time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just reminded the players of our fitness and our ability to come back when we are behind. We did it against Somerville through the year when we were a long way behind,â&#x20AC;? Annable said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew Rye would blow up at some point. They had a very tough road to get as far as they did and they had one less day to prepare than us. As it turned out, they were pretty flat in the last quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also knew that we needed to go all out attack. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to take five or 10 minutes to turn around. We needed to press for the entire quarter to get the result. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Loading the forward line and getting some clearances out of the middle was the key. We made the moves on the bench, however it was up to the individuals to deliver â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and they did.â&#x20AC;? Annable said he was more than â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hopefulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that James Cook would lineup in the Grand Final against Sorrento this Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are confident that there is no structural damage to Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; knee. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just assess him through the week but I would expect him to be available.
Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling of finals slammed by Dromana coach By Toe Punt DROMANA coach Doug Koop has criticised league decision makers for their handling of the final series. Koop, an experienced and heralded coach at Frankston YCW in Peninsula League, Cranbourne in Casey Cardinia and now Dromana in Nepean League, wrote a scathing letter to league operations general manager Ian Benson following his sideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss to Rye in the Qualifying Final. Whilst Koop understandably didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want his letter to be made public knowledge in its entirety, he was happy to share his views on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutely disgracefulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision to hold a final against Rye at their home ground. Whilst at Cranbourne, Koopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team was forced to play Berwick at Berwick in a second semi final two seasons ago and Beaconsfield at Beaconsfield last season in a Preliminary Final.
Koop believes that the decision to hold finals against a team at their home grounds gave an unfair advantage to that team. No-one disagrees with Koop on this matter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It surely canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be that difficult to understand that clubs who qualify for finals want two things from the league, to play on the best grounds and have no home ground advantages for any finalists,â&#x20AC;? Koop wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stubbornness and lack of communication is downright disrespectful to clubs that have worked very hard during the season and won the right to play off in finals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The standard and quality of our local game has developed so rapidly in the last few years, yet we are expected to play on substandard surfaces that put our players at risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best games (finals) need to be played on the best grounds,â&#x20AC;? Koop said.
Rye Football Club coach, Ben Holmes, skipper Rhett Sutton and club legend Scott Beel forced the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand and had last Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Preliminary Final changed from Somerville to Hastings. After viewing the surface, Sutton and Holmes informed Beel of the condition of the ground and asked for the league to change it. However, they were told by league officials that the ground was fit for play. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until Holmes, Sutton and Beel drove to Somerville and insisted that the league meet them at the ground and walk over it, that the location was changed. Beel and club president Mick Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Rourke left numerous messages and emails with league chief Jeff Jones to contact them about the situation throughout the week. On Saturday, they still had not received a reply.

Doggies maul sinking Sharks PENINSULA LEAGUE
By Toe Punt MORNINGTON booted 11 goals to three after half time to run all over the top of Bonbeach in the Peninsula League Preliminary Final on Sunday. The Doggies will play Frankston YCW in the Grand Final this Sunday at Frankston Park after winning their third straight final, 14.11 (95) to 12.7 (79). Mornington had to work hard to turn the game around though. The Dogs looked shot at half time, trailing by 39 points after being completely blown away by the Sharks. The Bonbeach half back line, led by Gary Carpenter and Paul Rebeschini, was dominating for Bonbeach, Shane McDonald was left one out on too many occasions and had five goals at the major interval and Matty Batten was completely shutting down the dangerous Jackson Calder. Brad Sykes was a welcome addition to the team, along with James Norton and Dylan Jones, while Rob Horler was also brought into the line-up. Other than Anthony Raso, the Sharks were at full strength. Shaun Foster was presenting well across half forward for the Sharks and making a nuisance of himself and Jackson Casey was dominating through the middle of the ground. Many pundits in the crowd were claiming that the game would be over at
inside 50 and for the first time in the match, rushed Bonbeach’s defence and put them under enormous pressure. Williams booted two goals himself and set-up another in the space of 10 minutes and within a blink of an eye, the Doggies were just a goal down. Chris Paxino and Warwick Miller started to take control of the game for the Dogs and Ben Clements and Stuart Seagar (two goals) started to look dangerous. Adam Symes started to get the better of McDonald too, while Chris Baker was backing himself in the back half and Barry Smeeton and Danny Nolan were exerting their influence on the game around the contests. The underrated Paul Dadds and Ryan Smith, as well as Tommy Simpson, were also continuing the good work they displayed in the first half. The result was an amazing turnaround. In fact, the Dogs booted seven goals to one for the quarter to trail by just three points at three quarter time. Shane McDonald’s sixth and final goal put the Sharks back in front just before the three quarter time siren. In amazing circumstances, despite the wind favouring the Kars St end of Frankston Park in the first three quarters, the direction changed in the last quarter and shifted in favour of the Port Phillip Bay end. Luck was on the Dogs’ side and they responded in kind. The last quarter was
Heading for grand final: Crib Point players were relieved to beat Rye by just 1 point and make it to the Nepean League Grand Final. Picture: Andrew Hurst
the 10-minute mark of the third quarter, such was Bonbeach’s dominance. It certainly looked that way, that’s for sure. However, there was one legend of the game and a Bonbeach follower who claimed that if Mornington could get back to within three goals at three quarter time, they would run all over the top of the Sharks. One thing was for certain, if Mornington didn’t change things up at half time, the result of the contest was obvious.
Mornington coach Stuart Seager and his brains trust need to be commended. They swung the changes, put some heavier bodies in the middle of the ground, dragged Calder up the ground to give them a midfield tall target and stuck Michael Williams inside attacking 50. The result was immediate. Man mountain ruckman Michael Gay, who was winning the tap outs already, started to be rewarded with his own midfielders winning the footy in the middle. This gave the Dogs quick access
all Mornington, booting 4.7 to two goals in the final 28 minutes. Jackson Calder booted two last quarter goals and highlighted his maturity and never say die attitude. After the game, Seager said it was a “great win”. “It was a real credit to the boys to stand up in that second half,” Seager said. Seager needs to take a lot of credit himself – the moves that were made to turn the game around were match winning. The third quarter onslaught was the third time in as many weeks that Mornington has blown away sides in the third quarter – they did it against Langwarrin, Edithvale and Bonbeach on Sunday. Certainly, the Dogs would want to be a lot closer than 39 points at half time this weekend against Frankston YCW in the Grand Final. The Doggies have been wonderful this season and are a worthy combatant to tackle YCW this weekend. Bonbeach will now turn its attention to finding another coach after Steve Capp resigned more than a month ago. At this stage, other than former Melbourne midfielder (and former Mt Eliza coach) Paul Hopgood and Hawthorn premiership player Brent Guerra, they have not interviewed any other candidates. The search will begin in earnest this week.
Goosey gone, clubs start coaches search FOOTY NEWS
By Toe Punt Coaching coup for Bombers Langwarrin midfielder and former Hawthorn first round draft pick Beau Muston will coach Frankston Bombers next season. Muston booted almost 40 goals for the Kangas this season, however, is looking for greater opportunity to coach. It appears that former Hawthorn and Port Adelaide player and Frankston Bombers’ premiership player Nathan Lonie has lured Muston to the club. Nathan Lonie is believed to be keen to have a chairman of selectors role and run the bench for Muston. There is no suggestion that Nathan Lonie will play. It also believed that Ryan Lonie is not at all interested in a return to Bomberland in any capacity. Goosey no longer a Dolphin It appears Simon Goosey has coached his last game for Frankston Dolphins. The new board asked Goosey, who has coached the Dolphins for the past six years, to reapply for his position, after the previ-
ous board gave him the nod for 2015. It is believed Goosey is not prepared to reapply. The Mornington premiership coach and the league’s greatest ever goal kicker has been interviewed at St Kilda for a development position, while it is also understood that there is a big offer on the table in Perth with a WAFL Club. We also hear that Mornington is keen to get ‘Goose’ back to the club after Stuart Seagar resigned due to work commitments. Dolphins fall out There has been a fall out at Dolphins as a result of Simon Goosey effectively being given the chop from the new board. Goosey’s assistant Pat Swayne is said to be considering the vacant Pines job, while star players Scott Simpson and Michael Lourey are considering a return to Mt Eliza. Coaching movements The coaching merry-go-round continues with many clubs still looking for coaches. Rye is the newest club looking for a coach after Ben Holmes retired. Although Holmes has retired from Rye, there are at
least six clubs looking at his services as a player for next season. After a stellar second half to the 2014 season, Holmes is a long way from finished as a player. Former Hastings’ coach Glenn Michie is back and looking for a role in local footy next season. ‘Mouse’ coached the Blues to a one-point loss to Sorrento in the Nepean League Grand Final. This season he coached his home club Newborough. After winning the second semi-final against Mirboo North by 90 points, his team was beaten by a point in the Grand Final by the same team. He has already been interviewed by Pearcedale and will be interviewed by Devon Meadows this week. Mornington is also keen to have a chat with him. At Mornington, it is believed that former Rye and Pines coach Steve Ryan and former Edithvale coach Troy Shannon are of interest. Ryan is still the preferred candidate for Devon Meadows and would be a wonderful fit at that club. Player layer movements There is no doubt that this is silly season and players are already looking elsewhere. It is understood that Frankston
YCW has offered Dromana premiership player Christian Ongarello a spot on their list next season. ‘Onga’ lives in Elwood. The likelihood is that he may retire from the game, which would be premature after making the Nepean Team of the Year. Langwarrin will welcome
back three top liners next season in Jayden Grose, Shane Patterson and Gerard ‘Boofa’ Brown. Meanwhile, former Dromana premiership player and new Langwarrin midfielder, Liam Hogan, won the club’s best and fairest. There was a lot of talk com-
ing out of Hastings last week about player unrest. There was even talk that the coach was approached and told that if certain players were not asked to leave, there could be a mass walk-out. According to a club legend, the talk has no substance or truth to it.
