Storm fails to dampen celebration ABOUT 90 people attended a ceremony to mark the centenary of the Crib Point Cemetery yesterday (Monday) morning and, thankfully, missed the massive storm by five minutes. “It was a fantastic day,� committee member Karrenne Fankhauser said. “And we were in the marquee when the rain came down, so all went well.�

Commander Melanie Verho, of HMAS Cerberus, unveiled the centenary plaque and spoke about how the land was reserved in 1915 when Commander Darly, RAN, had approached the federal government to make available 10 acres adjoining Flinders Naval Depot – now HMAS Cerberus – for both Navy and public burials.

Other speakers were Crib Point Cemetery Trust secretary/treasurer Clem Kleinig, RSL president John Ord, St Joseph’s Crib Point’s Michael Miles, Western Port Uniting’s Fiona Morrison, Holy Trinity Anglican’s Alex Packett, and Crib Point Cemetery Trust president Karen Crow.

Mr Kleinig was presented with a plaque honouring his years of service to the cemetery, in Disney St.

End of story for library staff Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au STAFF at Mornington, Rosebud, Hastings, Somerville and mobile libraries are shocked by a restructure which will see many lose their jobs.

In the firing line are four children and youth services librarians, one full-time and one part-time mobile library posi-

tion and six full-time and one part-time collections management positions.

All of the shire’s 20 library officers, who are mostly employed part-time, are believed to be going, but exact numbers are yet to be announced.

Two staff on leave overseas were said to be unaware their jobs have gone.

Australian Services Union organiser Prescilla Schwalger said seven librar-

ians on Band 5 had been offered voluntary redundancies as their roles were “substantially “changing.

She claims fewer staff will be expected to take on more responsibilities and that all staff being made redundant could apply for nine new positions but doubted many of them would meet job selection criteria. “In its basic format it looks as though the council is trying to get fewer staff

to provide the same level of service,�

Ms Schwalger said. “It has been a shock to everyone that this has happened. Some changes are positive but there’s not been enough consultation between management and those doing the actual jobs.�

Shire CEO Carl Cowie said there would “be no reduction in any of the current hours or types of services� from a library user’s point of view.

“In fact, there should be a noticeable increase in staff, both on the library floor and other community venues, able to assist and guide library users,� he said.

Staff were told on Monday last week and asked to provide feedback on the proposals by Thursday and Friday, with a decision to be made yesterday (Monday).

Bowden bows out before end of term MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Councillor Lynn Bowden has resigned as Watson Ward councillor, citing ongoing health issues as the reason for her decision.

“We are all very saddened by Cr Bowden’s decision as she has been a strong supporter and advocate for so many across the peninsula in her time as councillor," the mayor Cr Graham Pittock said.

“We will miss her keen intellect, passion and willingness to get behind so many vital projects that have taken shape as a result of Lynn’s involvement.”

Her resignation will not trigger a by-election as

it comes just short of six months from the October shire-wide municipal elections.

Cr Pittock says he will represent Cr Bowden’s constituents until a new councillor is elected in October.

A news release issued by the shire last Wednesday said Cr Pittock would be available to meet residents 9am-noon at a cafe in Eramosa Rd West, Somerville.

However, after seeing six people from a waste treatment plant, he left at 10.30 when no one else turned up.

Cr Bowden was first elected in 2008 and then re-elected for a second term in 2012, becoming

mayor in November 2012.

The former councillor did not respond to calls from The News but is understood to have been spending an increasing amount of time in Western Australia.

While in council Ms Bowden was involved with sporting centres and programs for young people. She sought support for older age groups and, in particular, in maintaining accessibility throughout townships, especially for those with motorised scooters or limited mobility.

She has served on management committees of Somerville Community House.

‘No need’ for by-election - shire Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

THE timing of Cr Lynn Bowden’s resignation – Monday 2 May – means there is “no need” for a by-election for her Watson ward seat.

The mayor Cr Graham Pittock says he will represent her constituents a new Watson Ward councillors is elected in October.

“There is no need for a by-election given the time frame,” communications manager Mark Kestigian said.

Under the Local Government Act no by-election is required if a councillor resigns within less than six months of the next scheduled municipal elections.

Cr Bowden’s resignation came less than two week’s inside the limit.

“It would cost at least $100,000 and the new councillor would be semi-functional

for two months without being able to make any decisions,” Cr Pittock said.

But two-time candidate Ben Loois, of Tyabb, who sought election for Cerberus ward and then Watson ward in two previous polls, says the ruling ignores the opportunity to provide Cr Watson’s former constituents with direct representation.

As the second placed candidate Mr Loois said he should have been installed as Watson Ward’s new councillor.

However, local government regulations stipulate that countbacks can occur when the vacancy to be filled is in a multi-councillor ward or unsubdivided municipality, and if there is more than one eligible candidate remaining from the general election who was not elected.

Watson Ward is a single councillor ward and the shire is divided into six wards.

Mr Loois says he was the runner-up to

Cr Bowden in 2012 and, discussing the result with the VEC at the time, was told: “You don’t know how close you came.”

He contacted the VEC last week to discuss the likelihood of his being appointed in the wake of Ms Bowden’s resignation but was told that countback provisions only applied to multi-councillor wards.

He believes this aspect of the law is “discriminatory against single councillor wards”. The VEC suggested he take that up with his local MP. Mr Loois says having no councillor “in a single councillor ward with problems of youth and infrastructure” is wrong, and pointed to last week’s devastating fire at Somerville Community & Recreation Centre, allegedly caused by teenagers.

Mr Loois says he has “lobbied incessantly for services” in Watson Ward and will stand at the 22 October poll.

Environment the target in quest for votes in Flinders THE state convenor the Australian Greens Willisa Hogarth is standing for the seat Flinders in the 2 July federal election.

Held by Liberal Greg Hunt since 2001, Hogarth nomination for Flinders follows that of Labor’s Carolyn Gleixner.

Mr Hunt is the current environment minister and both the Labor and the Greens candidates have signalled they will be attacking what they see as the government’s failure in that policy area.

“This is going to be a campaign where the Greens remind the Coalition that they can’t get away with leaving the environment out of the conversation.” Ms Hogarth said.

Ms Hogarth said last week’s federal budget “really cements the fact that Mr Hunt and his team have no plan to tackle climate change”.

She describes herself as having a “strong history in the energy industry” and is “determined to advocate for the possibility of a renewable manufacturing industry in Flinders”.

“The government has some fantastic opportunities to encourage investment in real jobs in places such as Hastings. But with Mr Hunt approving the continued cut to the renewable sector, it’s no surprise there is no investment in this new technology in Australia,” Ms Hogarth said.

Both Ms Hogarth and Ms Gleixner stood unsuccessfully for the 2014

state election, Ms Gleixner in Nepean against sitting Liberal Martin Dixon and Ms Hogarth “as a support candidate” for the Upper House seat of Eastern Victoria.

Ms Hogarth says she is backed by Greens branches on the Mornington Peninsula and Bass Coast Shire.

“The growth of support in our area has been very exciting, but it also shows that the people of Flinders are sick of being forgotten. They’re looking for more than what the old parties can offer them,” she said.

Ms Hogarth, a mother of three, is retraining as a secondary teacher and works part-time for a not-for-profit education focused organisation.

Catch me if you can: Red Hill South’s Ty Sharp is undefeated in motocross racing.

Motocross star stays in lead Branch backing: Australian Greens candidate Willisa Hogarth has nominated the environment as the key issue in Flinders electorate.

Sign up to vote ENROLMENTS to vote in the July federal election close 8pm Monday 23 May. Electoral commissioner Tom Rogers said all Australian citizens aged 18 years and over – including 17 year olds turning 18 on or before 2 July - are required by law to enrol and vote in the election.

“Enrolling and voting is compulsory. If you are not enrolled, you can’t vote in the 2016 federal election,” Mr Rogers said.

He said anyone who has moved in the past three years should also ensure their details on the electoral roll are correct.

Enrol online at aec.gov.au or check details at aec.gov.au/check or call 13 23 26.

Enrolment forms are available from at any AEC office or Australia Post outlet.

RED Hill South motocross star Ty Sharp remains undefeated after winning all three of his races in the 65cc C grade class at Ararat on the weekend.

The nine-year-old rode well on a challenging track, winning his first race by 01.099 seconds, his second by 27 seconds and his third by 23 seconds.

Sharp now sits on top of the class, having won all his races this season.

He will now contest the Victorian Junior Motorcross Championships at Mildura on 11-12 June.

Riding in Victoria’s premier motocross competition for juniors – the M2R Helmets Victorian Junior Motocross Championships – Sharp started in March at Outtrim and then moved on to Warrnambool for round two in April.

“I really liked the jumps and the

corners at Warrnambool. I got stuck in the starting gate in race one so was a fair way behind the field and I had to catch up quickly and still came out and won.”

Sharp recently took part in a coaching day at Ararat to get used to the track – which obviously paid dividends on the weekend. “I had a lot of fun there and now know the way the track flows and moves so it should be great fun,” he said last week.

Sharp started racing in 2013, but took a break last year to play footy.

“I wanted to have a go at footy but I really like the excitement of motocross,” he said.

“I would like to thank my sponsors and my mum and dad for all their help throughout the season. I would feel really happy if I managed to win a Victorian title.”

Fire ready family: Red Hill volunteer firefighters Anthony, Roy, Darrel and Lachlan Setter beside the big red truck. Picture: Raelene Gard, of District 8.

Family that’s set on volunteering www.mpnews.com.au

THE Setter family, of Red Hill, has had a long and fulfilling association with the local fire brigade.

“Dad was one of the founding volunteers, and is still in the brigade and it seemed to follow on.

It’s just something we do as a family, and now my son’s in it, and his son’s in it and most of our wives as well,” Darrel Setter said.

“The brigade organised a unit citation for our family four years ago. It was just our normal annual dinner, and – being the captain – I had no

idea about it. The night was quite overwhelming, especially from dad’s perspective, as recognition of his contribution over his long career. Roy Setter is up for his 65th year of service this year and I think he was pretty chuffed with it.

“The citation was for all of us: my dad, mum Royal, my eldest sister Yvonne Williams, brother Ernie and his wife Lorraine, my other sister Judy DiGregorio, myself and my wife Denise, as well as for my son Anthony and his partner Joanne Tyrell.

n m tu

u rA

“My grandson, Lachlan, now has ambitions to become a permanent firefighter. When he was a baby he was up around the fire station all the time.”

Mr Setter accepted the citation as recognition of his family’s long and valuable service to the community.

“We were all pretty chuffed,” he said.

Western Port News 10 May 2016

New, larger stadium to rise from ashes Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au WESTERN Port Basketball Association players are still coming to terms with the tragic loss of their stadium at Somerville after it was destroyed by fire, Sunday morning last week.

Operations manager Tyler Molloy said the “devastating impact on our basketball family and greater community is enormous as we continue to face the fact that it is now reality�.

Teenagers lit a small fire underneath the grandstand to keep warm but it spread quickly and took hold before they could put it out. The building was “fully involved� when CFA crews arrived at 7.30am.

A 14-year-old Somerville girl was charged the following day with criminal damage by fire. She will face Frankston Children’s Court on Tuesday 7 June.

The damage bill for the Edward St stadium is expected to be $1.5-$2 million.

Association president James Langford – who took over as president only the week before the fire – said the stadium would be rebuilt, either with the original two courts or with four courts now that an insurance payout has been approved.

He said the extra courts would cover the existing skate park. “We sat down Tuesday with shire officers and got a verbal agreement for rebuilding,� he said. “We worked through different options, such as building the four courts at once or as a staged development – depending on the funding. We dis-

rescheduled to other venues.

Junior teams will play home games at Dromana Secondary College and at Elisabeth Murdoch College, Langwarrin, on Friday nights. The website will show any other fixture changes.

In May, the association’s Big V games will be played at Hillview Stadium, Rosebud Secondary College.

After that, they may play at either Hillview or Dromana, but other venues may be used when available.

He said office staff – temporarily based at Somerville Plaza – would advise referees on fixture changes.

Shire mayor Cr Graham Pittock said the fire had destroyed a much-loved community asset. “The centre was an important community hub, and used by many for sport and recreation activities. Authorities are investigating, and the shire is working with community and sporting groups to find alternative arrangements as quickly as possible,� he said.

Shire customer service staff previously based at the stadium have moved to the Somerville library, 1085 Frankston-Flinders Rd, Somerville.

Payments can be made online or at the Hastings Shire Office, Marine Parade, Hastings. Call 1300 850 600.

For alternative childcare or maternal and child health care arrangements call the shire on: 1300 850 600.

Fitness classes and activities are at Pelican Park Recreation Centre, Hastings, call 1300 850 197.

Somerville Community House services are unavailable. See Somerville Community House on Facebook or call 5977 8330. User groups can contact the shire on 5950 1150.

Rebuilding: Most of the wreckage left by the fire (right) which destroyed the Somerville Community and Recreation Centre has already been removed. A new, larger basketball stadium is planned for the site in Edward St. Damage to the building has been pout at $1.5 - $2 million. Picture: Jarryd Bravo

cussed other venues also. We are keen to get started.�

Donations have already been accepted for a new stadium and fundraisers will be organised “once we count the total loss and damage to club property�, Mr Langford said. “We have lost our office, our training equipment, our home. We have lost memorabilia that dates back 20 years to Western Port’s beginnings at Bittern stadium, items that can never be replaced.�

Mr Langford said the Western Port basketball association was second in

size only to Frankston. “We still have our WPBA family of 290 junior rep players, 1200 domestic players, 40 Big V players, 50 referees, as well as coaches, parents and volunteers that will all come together and work as hard as we can to build this wonderful family club back to bigger and better things.�

He said original plans drawn up in the mid-1990s made allowances for two extra courts. “They laid the pipes then and some of those pipes were cracked in the demolition work last week, so we know they are there.�

ENROL NOW FOR YEAR 7 2018!

Also, limited places for Year 7 2017 have become available at our Rosebud Campus

Mr Langford said the hardwood, lacquer-painted floors on the courts, grandstand and multi-purpose room fuelled the blaze. “At the moment no one’s missing out on games or training, but if we want to grow the association and keep kids off the street we have to get started. “People have been very generous; it is greatly appreciated and we will be holding fundraising events in the coming weeks.�

The domestic competition will go on but games that were to be played at Somerville Recreation Centre will be

Library jobs lost in shake-up Continued from Page 1 The union representative Ms Schwalger said she had been unable to get clarification from the shire’s human resources department on how the restructure would work.

She said the council met with staff on Thursday with more meetings scheduled for Friday to get feedback and also to see if anyone would volunteer for redundancy. “I can confirm that four staff opted to take redundancies.�

Ms Schwalger said she had represented staff in restructures in the shire’s leisure, customer service, eco-

nomic development, libraries and engineering departments since Mr Cowie was appointed in late 2014. “[The restructuring] does not look like slowing down anytime soon either,� she said.

It is believed the shire is planning to contract out its leisure centres, including Pelican Park, Crib Point pool, Somerville Recreation Centre and Civic Reserve Recreation Centre, Mornington. “The council is one of the biggest employers on the Mornington Peninsula and, with ongoing job cuts, I am not sure how the [local] economy can

survive,� Ms Schwalger said. “The sad part is that many staff made redundant recently, or in the past, have years of experience and leave on extremely stressful terms.�

Many of the affected staff been at the libraries for years. One, who has served for 33 years, was so upset by her redundancy that she would not accept a morning tea farewell. “The reforms will ensure that the excellent library service provided by the shire continues to improve to meet the community’s growing needs,� Mr Cowie said.

Bandicoot to keep ‘endangered’ status DESPITE the best efforts of environmentalists and some government departments the survival of the southern brown bandicoot remains uncertain.

With few viable colonies of the small marsupial remaining around Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula it “endangered species” status was last week reaffirmed.

Foxes, feral cats and land clearing are among the bandicoot’s biggest threats.

Environment Minister Greg Hunt told a biodiversity forum organised by the Western Port Biosphere that he agreed with the southern brown bandicoot staying on the endangered list.

His announcement on Friday 6 May came one day after 49 extra species of flora and fauna were added to the federal government’s threatened species list.

Mr Hunt told the forum he was “delighted to provide an update on our work for threatened species”, but apparently made no mention of the additions to the list.

Mr Hunt said money from the federal government would help Western Port Biosphere protect 184 hectares of remnant vegetation, with 36 hectares “revegetated by the end of this year in this wildlife-rich region south-east of Melbourne”.

“Landcare groups, councils and park managers are working together to help connect and improve wildlife habitat corridors. The project will help species such as the southern brown bandicoot and the hooded plover, one of the 20 priority birds under our Threatened Species Strategy,” Mr Hunt said.

Parks Victoria has announced that from November it will ban dogs from beaches within the linear Mornington Peninsula National Park as part of efforts to prevent the hooded plover be-

coming locally extinct.

“A local predator control strategy is also in place in the Western Port Biosphere, supported by camera-trap monitoring of feral cats, foxes and the southern brown bandicoots they prey on,” Mr Hunt said.

He said the national Threatened Species Strategy “is on track to achieve its 2020 targets and is already delivering real wins for our native animals and plants”.

“Less than a year on from its launch, this new roadmap to help fight extinctions of our native flora and fauna is benefitting at-risk species with targeted, practical action. With almost 1800 of our species listed as threatened, Australia needs to work harder and smarter to secure their future.”

Mr Hunt said that since 2014 the 20 mammals and 20 birds had been nominated as priority species with the government “committing to improving their trajectories by 2020 and funding recovery actions for each of them”.

A task force had been established to tackle feral cats, with all states and territories agreeing “to prioritise feral cat management in threatened species recovery programs”.

Australian Conservation Foundation campaigner Jess Abrahams was quoted in Saturday’s The Guardian that last week’s federal budget failed to include any new funding for the threatened species strategy.

The only mention of the environment in a budget news release issued by Mr Hunt’s office on 5 May mainly related to $171 million for the Great Barrier Reef.

“We are also committed to preserving our natural environment for future generations and are doing more than ever before to protect the Great Barrier Reef,” Mr Hunt stated.

Wing and rain did not stop these walkers from supporting the Dolphin Research Institute’s through its annual Walk for Western Port.

Wet weather stroll for dolphins WIND and rain did little to deter participants in the annual Walk for Western Port which raises money and awareness for the Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute.

“It was the wettest day in the event’s history and they all deserve a medal,” the institute’s executive director Jeff Weir said.

“Western Port is not on most people’s radar, so it is critical to help the community see mud and mangroves in a different light.”

Walkers in the DRI’s sixth annual event included families and teachers from 21 schools, with some did the long walk from Jack’s Beach, Bitter, back to Hastings through Warringine Reserve.

The schools are participants in the Dolphin Research Institute’s ‘i sea, i care’ school ambassador program.

To support the walkers through the Institute’s website until the end of May go to www.dolphinresearch.org.au

Crayfish walkers: The Edwards family chose a crayfish theme for the annual Western Port Walk.

The DRI’s annual Whales Weekend is held over the next month’s long weekend.

Mr Weir said whales were often sighted about that time each year and some trips aboard the Kasey Lee with Wildlife Coast Cruises would be linked with other activities Phillip Island.

Punter lands a first for Australia Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Skate comp rolls into Mt Eliza A NATIONAL skate competition at Mt Eliza, Saturday 21 May, will have categories for skateboarders as well as scooter and BMX riders.

The free event will be held at the Mt Eliza Skate Park, Emil Madsen Reserve, Wooralla Drive, which has the peninsula's largest skate bowl.

The competition is sponsored by Mornington Peninsula Shire and organised in partnership with the Impakt Freeza youth events committee and the YMCA. The competition is part of the YMCA’s National Skate Park League and provides a development pathway for amateur skate and BMX riders.

The winners from the skateboard section will join finalists from concurrent events elsewhere in Victoria, Tasmania and New South Wales, with the national final to be held in Melbourne.

Check out: skatepark.ymca.org.au or facebook.com/impaktfreeza Registration times: Scooters 10.30am, BMX noon and skateboards 2pm.

Divisions: Scooters and BMX: 14 and under; 15 and over.

Skateboard: 12 and under; 16 and under; female all ages, and open.

IN a first for Hastings – indeed the whole of Australia – a local boy has nabbed the Holy Grail of sports by becoming the first punter to be drafted by a top American NFL team.

Lachlan Edwards, of Hastings, went to Balnarring Primary School and Mornington Secondary College.

He played junior footy for Red Hill and Crib Point, notched a premiership with Somerville under-18s, played under-16s and seniors with the Dandenong Stingrays, had a stint at Frankston Dolphins and then played in the seconds for North Ballarat Roosters while at university.

That background – with forays into rugby, cricket and athletics – helped him scale the heights of US college football to now be a prospective punting star with the New York Jets.

Hang-time and accuracy are his kicking strengths – both greatly admired skills in gridiron – made easier by his 1.95 metre, 97kg frame.

His mother, Lin Edwards, is still coming to grips with her son’s transition from seconds footy in a Victorian country town to the might of a senior professional punting career.

It began – like so many momentous moments – by chance. A Ballarat university professor saw the then 20-year-old kicking the footy on an oval in 2012 and, impressed by his accuracy and distance, suggested that he should be playing gridiron in the US. The US gobearkats.com website,

Hang time: New York Jets punting pick Lachlan Edwards shows his skills. Picture: Brian Blalock/SHSU

in an article introducing the new punter and forwarded to The News

by Mrs Edwards, said the professor had contacts at the Australian punting and kicking academy OzPunt, which searches for college scholarship places for Australians in the United States.

The ducks – err footballs – were aligned and, six months later, Edwards was a special teams player for the Sam Houston University, Texas, football squad, making a name for himself as a punter.

The website says he had the most punts in one season (80), most yards in one season (3525) and best single game punting average (49.8). As well

as that, it says he can top out at 5.2 seconds of hang time at close to 60 yards. “During his three years at Sam Houston he produced 45 punts of 50 or more yards and had 72 punts killed inside the opponent’s 20.�

The national league came calling on 1 May, with the website saying Edwards was the 19th Bearkat to be drafted when the Jets claimed him as their 235th pick.

There was no mention of him being the first Australian ever to drafted as a punter. Now 24, Edwards once shared a room with famous Australian NFL player, Darren Bennett, who is now in

The Western Port Whisperer

DRIVING along the Peninsula Link the other day, The Whisperer almost caused an accident.

Finally, after three years of waiting, we have a sign pointing travellers to Hastings! “This is great news�, exclaimed The Whisperer.

However, he then had to brace for impact. Not from nearly running off the said roadway in shock that a sign had been erected, but rather when the realisation hit that this sign was not actually placed at the MorningtonTyabb off- ramp (which is the closest exit to Hastings), but was placed on the on-ramp from Bungower Road to the Peninsula Link.

In effect, we have a lovely new sign, yet you need a telescope at-

tached to your bonnet to see it.

The Whisperer can’t help but note the irony; directional signs to Hastings appear on the Monash Freeway on the other side of Dandenong, yet not on the Peninsula Link literally ten minutes from town.

Mrs Whisperer suggests an IQ test is needed for the boffins that decided to a directional sign on an on-ramp to a freeway. *** MANY rumours reach Whisperer HQ, but this one is especially worrying.

There is a rumour that there are plans in place to close the shire offices in Hastings and Somerville.

What worries the Whisperer the

most, other than the impending economic decrease in Western Port townships thanks to the removal of said staff from the region, is this plan is rumoured to have the verbal support of at least three sitting councillors.

Word from staff at Hastings is they are preparing to be relocated to Rosebud or Mornington sometime in the next 12 months.

The closure of the Hastings and Somerville offices may be celebrated by some (particularly the shire bean counters) but the removal of numerous jobs to another part of the shire would be devastating to the local economy.

Thank heavens we have a very

strong tourism and manufacturing base in Western Port! *** MRS Whisperer made an appearance at the meeting regarding the Victorian Maritime Centre and the HMAS Otama submarine.

It was a good night where people heard about the benefits of the project, the cost of the project, and how the local council refuses to put any financial backing into the project.

It makes for an interesting debate, if council refuses flatly to put any financial backing into this project, then why on earth do we pay rates?

When it comes to advocating and finding money for projects on the Port Phillip coastline, a lot of effort is

the NFL Hall of Fame.

Mrs Edwards said her son was seemingly overlooked by a sports hungry media, which focused on another roommate, Tom Hackett, as the next likely pro football star, with Edwards pinned as “just another Aussie hopeful�.

But the Jets general manager and special teams coach were in touch with him every week, waiting for their opportunity to pounce on the sports science graduate. They officially signed Edwards to the Jets on Thursday 5 May. “Aussie kids are so popular now,�

Mrs Edwards said.

put in by council, but the second the Port Phillip coastline is replaced by the Western Port coastline, such effort and financial backing disappears.

Mrs Whisperer acknowledges the council representatives at the meeting, but doesn’t understand why they were there.

If they don’t want to advocate for the project, or offer financial assistance, why did they feel the need to come along and take up seats which could have been used by supporters of the project? *** HEARD any Whispers? Let the Whisperer know at: westernportwhisperer@gmail.com

LETTERS Councillor should pay If it were just a few dollars we could easily dismiss it, but Cr Antonella Celi has spent 146 per cent of her councillor allowance (“Shire told to make councillor repay costs”, The News 3/5/16). Her lame duck excuse that she didn’t know she was over the limit and therefore it was not her fault demonstrates that she is not taking her position seriously: “ignorance of the law is no excuse”.

Should councillors be let off the hook because they do not understand the code of conduct?

How about conflict of interest? How about falsification of expenses? Where does it end?

The councillor resource and expense entitlements policy is quite clear and the quite detailed (almost smacks of OCD) including what to do if you need to go over the allowance, and every councillor would be well aware of this keystone policy.

Cr Celi’s claim that spending limits are “ambiguous and needs to be clearer” is beyond comprehension. Perhaps she should have spent more time in front of a spreadsheet instead of the cameras. In any case, a responsible person would keep a tally with respect to all these expenses.

Even more disturbing is that Crs David Garnock, Bev Colomb, Andrew Dixon, Anne Shaw and David Gibb voted that it is OK for her to not have to adhere to the legal policy.

The Local Government Act is clear on the “rule of law”. In fact, a few meetings ago Cr Colomb spoke at length and quite passionately for the motion and virtually lectured Cr Celi on her conduct.

consents” during the construction of Skylift.

Accordingly, it is important to compare the qualifications, experience and time availability of councillors versus the council’s executive team. And on all counts, the executive team is plainly superior to the councillors, having regard to the role in question.

This was confirmed earlier this year when councillors overturned the council executive’s recommendation to change the Skylift retaining wall product. This group of councillors supported a decision which resulted in an obsolete building product having to be manufactured in Queensland and freighted to the peninsula.

Skylift practically had no time to take the matter to VCAT as this would have delayed the project considerably.

Furthermore, in relation to a subsequent debate at council involving Skylift’s emergency evacuation plan, Cr Wood himself confessed “I have had a cursory look at it”. An important issue such as emergency evacuation requires a much greater degree of care and professionalism.

The Minister made the right decision. He allowed a considerable period of time for councillors to respond to his concerns and no doubt considered any submission from councillors carefully. He has been supported in Parliament by the Opposition through Nepean MP Martin Dixon.

Our consortium is pleased that the Skylift project is now proceeding smoothly. The cable car and receiving stations are emerging and the park has been improved with around 5000 seedlings already planted.

Marginal benefits

Cr Tim Wood QC has not enhanced the reputation of certain Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors by criticising Planning Minister Richard Wynne’s decision to call in the Skylift project.

As Cr Wood knows, the minister’s action had nothing to do with council’s 2014 planning approval, subsequently confirmed by VCAT. The minister’s decision was in response to the highly unusual revocation by councillors of the standard delegation to council staff to handle “secondary

The Andrews government has done nothing to further the cause of progression within Mornington Peninsula Shire or provide measurable benefit to peninsula residents.

In particular, it has: 1. Facilitated the termination of a lease at Point Nepean for a project that had undeniable economic and tourism benefits as employment opportunities for young people.

2. Remained in complete denial as to the root

cause for the loss of the Portsea beach (channel deepening) and, worse still, shows no enthusiasm to take ownership of the problem and implement a long-term solution to reinstate the sandy beach.

3. Elected to override a decision of VCAT to empower Mornington Peninsula Shire to consider the majority of secondary approval issues associated with the construction of the Arthurs Seat chairlift project (Skylift), with the planning minister deciding to become the responsible authority and depriving the local community of any meaningful involvement. Clearly, the influence of a developer on the government far outweighs the best interests of the local community.

The only way that I can see us getting a better go from the government is to move the peninsula in to the realms of being an electorally marginal seat. Indeed, based upon [Nepean MP] Martin Dixon’s supporting comments of the planning minister’s decision, he may well give Labor the impetus it needs to think it could just take the seat from the Liberals.

If Labor actually thought this outcome to be achievable, then just watch it fall over itself to heap largess (pork barrelling) and benefit upon us peninsula residents. However, it will need to give us a lot to make up for what it has taken away since November 2014.

Once again, it appears “our” federal member [Environment Minister, Flinders MP] Greg Hunt, is either misleading us or just promoting political propaganda about the condition of the Great Barrier Reef.

Sir David Attenborough, who I would suggest has far more environmental knowledge and credibility than Greg Hunt, has said that the reef is in dire straits and could disappear (coral bleaching) within several decades from the effects of global warming caused in the main from CO2 emissions. But no, Greg Hunt is saying the vast majority of the reef is in excellent condition.

Many marine scientists are also saying the reef is in trouble from global warming and terrestrial pollutant run-off. But no, says Greg Hunt, the Coalition is reducing greenhouse emissions and is putting in place actions to reduce terrestrial pollutant run-off.

The experts tell a different story, but of course politicians are the experts.

Remember, this is out federal political representative for the seat of Flinders. Is he the expert we are to trust, or is he spreading propaganda about a very serious issue?

He stated that “[Flinders MP Greg] Hunt conveniently forgot to mention all the children in detention in our concentration camps on Nauru and Manus island”. Really, Mr Steiner?

Spurs out over horse cruelty claims Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE manager of the Ace-Hi horse ranch in Boneo has denied allegations that horses at the property are mistreated.

This follows an RSPCA inspection of the Boneo Rd property on Wednesday to investigate claims by a former manager of under-feeding and overworking of horses.

Kellie Puddy, who says she resigned in distress in March last year, said she “couldn’t believe” the poor standard of care and the malnourished state of the horses ridden during the week by schoolchildren and at weekends by adults.

“The RSPCA has a file on Ace-Hi but they need hard evidence to prosecute,” she said.

“It’s a sad life for the horses, some of whom have been there 20 years.

Now they are facing another winter out on a 200-acre paddock.”

Ms Puddy has run a social media campaign against Ace-Hi, saying she was forced to feed horses with her own money.

“The owners promised every week they would get more feed in, but they never did. I was only given about $250 a week to feed them all – that's what you feed two horses on a week.

“How do they get away with it?

Every time, the RSPCA comes out, and then that's it.”

Ace-Hi manager Lauren Crosbie, who has worked at the 21-year-old trail-riding ranch for the past 10 years – two as manager – said the cruelty claims were rubbish.

“When the six RSPCA officers and

Picture: Yanni

a vet left on Wednesday they said there were no problems and that the horses were in a moderate condition,” she said. “They said no cruelty notices would be issued.”

Ms Crosbie denied that 30 of the 46 horses on the ranch had been trucked out soon after the RSPCA visit – ostensibly to a pet food factory near Echuca.

“That just did not happen,” she said.

“The whole 46 are still here and being looked after.”

She said two Clydesdales put down Tuesday – Blue and Jim – had cancer and arrangements to euthanise them had been made with a vet weeks before.

“It would have looked worse than it was, but we were taking our vet’s advice,” she said. “The video [shown on Facebook and Channel 7 news Wednesday night] was deceptive.”

In a statement on Thursday, the RSP-

CA said it had investigated “a number of welfare concerns at Ace-Hi in the past decade” and “a number of reports received on Monday and Tuesday raising concerns for the welfare of horses on the property”.

“None of these investigations has uncovered issues that would meet the threshold for a cruelty prosecution under the Prevention of Cruelty Act. The current investigation is ongoing.”

The number of horses meant the RSPCA “will take some time for inspectors to collate all of the information gathered to assess the welfare of all of the animals”.

“If we identify particular welfare issues we may work with the owners of these horses to ensure that they are clear about their animal welfare obligations, or we have the option of issuing the owners with notices to comply.

“As is always the case, the option of

prosecution is available if we find evidence of serious cruelty.”

Many online comments backed up Ms Puddy’s stand: “A huge well done to Kellie for not giving up and taking a stand for these horses. It's far from over yet but, hopefully, justice is served and something is done” summed up the response.

Ace-Hi owners Ron Neary and Tony Marks defended their ranch on Facebook: “Not one horse was removed from the property [by the RSPCA] – not before, not after.

“Six [RSPCA] staff, including one vet, were here for about five hours.

They were very thorough in examining the horses’ bodies, teeth, hooves, diet and our records of every horse.

“Records, including expenditure on horse food, vet records, incidents of horses’ health after an injury (eg cuts), worming etc were examined for every single horse.

“We have not yet received their report. They did not and do not plan on removing any horse from the property.

They issued no notices of cruelty, no notices of neglect.

“For the record, those photos of Jim and Blue were taken on April 11.”

The ramifications of the unfavourable publicity are all too clear. “We’ve had to turn our phones off and we’ve been bombarded by abuse on social media,” Ms Crosbie said.

“We haven’t had much sleep since all this started and we just want to put our side of the story across. We know we are doing the right thing for our horses.”

Ms Crosbie said the word “murderers” had been scrawled on the ranch’s front gate.

Friendly pick wins $100,000 A HASTINGS woman is $100,000 richer after a $5 scratchy chosen by a friend won the big prize last week.

“I still can’t believe it. $100,000 is a lot of money. I’m so excited,” the anonymous buyer told Tattslotto after visiting Hastings Goldmine, in Hastings.

“After going out for a bite to eat with a good friend, I decided to pop in to the Tatts outlet to

buy a scratchy because I had a good feeling.

“I asked my friend to pick one out for me, and we were in complete shock when it won the top prize. She was so happy for me.

“I’ve never been anywhere, so with the windfall I’d love to go on a holiday to Queensland or Bali and shout my friends and family.

“The rest I will put away towards buying my own place.”

Now that the Great Barrier Reef is under serious threat from global warming and Environment Minister Greg Hunt’s coal mining approval in Queensland, will our new best minister in the world do more than just send out taxpayer funded propaganda to his constituents?

We’re totally sick of what appears to be his inaction on anything to do with the protection of the environment.

The Queensland government should be ashamed for its approval of this reef-damaging mine.

The jobs possibly lost if the reef ceases to be a tourist attraction will far outnumber the few created by this dirty fuel mine.

There should be no more last century energy production when the world could be using clean energy production and so reverse man-made global warming.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

would give tacit support to a highly dangerous activity: diving off a cliff into shallow water.

Council can’t or won’t do that, and nor should it. End of story.

Its hands are tied, basically. Clearly, however, it does need to install bins nearby and clear away roadside foliage for pedestrians.

Where will everyone park? Where they can, same as now, I’m afraid. Additionally, we can expect more, not less, visitors to the area in coming years.

Like all residents I am devastated to see our local hidden treasure lose its innocence in this way. I truly hope council can figure out a way to get on board.

To merely put up “high pedestrian traffic” signs is a rather pathetic initial response.

As an aside, having The Pillars removed from the AWOL website will have made little difference – the cat is already out of the bag on all social media. The YouTube videos make the area look irresistible.

This is against any democracy’s principle and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council should hang its head in shame for even considering a name change when it is obvious that Rosebud West residents don’t want it.

B M A Robinson, Rosebud West

When does Mornington Peninsula Shire intend to close down the ghettos on the foreshore [camping grounds]? The ratepayers would dearly love to have our free open space returned to us.

Has the shire secretly opened up some of the foreshore to permanent camp sites? If so, who instigated it and why were we not informed?

While I’m at it, when might we have the combination of all the locked toilets on the foreshore? Try and tell a two or three-year-old child that they have to hang on for another 500 metres to the next open toilet block. A vacant tent might be quite inviting to ease the child’s pressure.

Please also ensure that when the people vacate the ghettos, that they take all their rubbish with them.

John Cain, McCrae

Lure of The Pillars The Pillars Resident’s Action Group is to be commended for its efforts to provide a management plan for The Pillars.(“Group aims to soften effect of The Pillars” The News 26/4/16). In my opinion there is, unfortunately, absolutely no way Mornington Peninsula Shire will consider the plan. Why not? Because the area is officially culturally sensitive? No. Because the cost would be prohibitive? No. Why then? Because to do so

NEWS DESK nomic part of town”. What does that particular location have to do with needed repairs to the school?

The inference is that the location adds to the woes of the school. This is just blind prejudice, maintaining the old stigma attached to the area.

When I studied year five English many, many years ago, clear thinking was part of the curriculum. Apparently it is not taught anymore.

As a resident of the area, I can’t help it if I’m not saturated in debt; or if we own our modest house (now only worth $380,000), own our car, have no credit card debt or any other debt and have never had a divorce.

Apart from a couple of years of severe medical problems that I had, my wife was never forced to work and we preferred to live well on my adequate single income, now a pension.

Nor can I help it if I prefer the social company of working class, fair dinkum people instead of that other pretentious part of the larger society who think they are better and use prejudice as a tool of their superiority.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Developing irritation Interesting discussion regarding Pearson St, Mornington, kennel housing development. A local real estate man defended the project as being terrific and the comment: “Wait ‘till you see what we are doing in Philip St.” I have already asked the question: “What horrors come next?” Now we know.

Who benefits from this? Certainly not Mornington or its residents.

Road rules Just a few words about walking on roads.

I stopped at the post box at a main road in Mt Eliza. A lovely lady was walking toward me and as I left the car I congratulated her for walking toward the traffic, because it is unusual in my town. She responded: “My husband told me to always walk toward the traffic and I responded curtly, you’re telling me where to walk? Yes he said, because I love you and want you to be

safe.” As I drove away I reflected on a beautiful thought.

Ron O’Toole, Mt Eliza

Anzac pleases Congratulations on another excellent Anzac edition. I have greatly enjoyed reading these seldom-heard background stories from WW1.

If possible, I’d like to hear more about the role of Sir John Monash. Being Jewish, it would appear that Sir John suffered from the anti-semitic attitudes of his time, and his wonderful achievements were deliberately overlooked by “the establishment”. Indeed, war journalist accounts from Keith Murdoch and C W Bean seem to have been anti-Monash in their tone. Maybe this could be considered for your Anzac edition next year?

Eric Collier, Somerville

Invisible road toll For far too long the consequence of poor infrastructure causing people to fall in the street has been ignored.

With funding from VicHealth, Victoria Walks commissioned Monash University Accident Research Centre to conduct a study of falls while walking and the results are very worrying.

This research found trips and falls in the street send more than 5000 pedestrians to hospital in Victoria each year – even more than collisions with cars.

The consequences of falling can be devastating for older people. Falling and breaking a hip can be life changing and lead to premature death. International research shows that up to 40 percent of hip fracture patients die within a year.

The Victorian and federal governments need to start investing in making walking safer and supporting councils to improve footpath surfaces and road crossings. Dr Ben Rossiter, executive officer, Victoria Walks Letters to the editor can be sent to The News, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915 or emailed to: team@mpnews.com.au Letters should be kept to a maximum 300 words and include name, address and contact phone number for verification purposes.

Memories buried in time SOUVENIRS of Dromana including old and new photos, history books, and seeds of local plants and trees have been buried in a time capsule on the foreshore to be opened in 50 years.

Dromana foreshore management committee buried the time capsule beside the Bay Trail on the foreshore opposite St Mark’s Anglican Church on a windswept Saturday 30 April in front of about 30 people.

Guests included Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt (with his young son James in soccer gear) and shire mayor Cr Graham Pittock.

The 100-litre, high-density plastic capsule was buried 40 centimetres deep and is covered with a concrete slab topped by a 500 kilogram granite rock from Arthurs Seat, with a plaque on top.

Foreshore committee vice-chairman Rob Tannahill said the plaque contained details of when it is to be opened in 50 years. He said the capsule included historic photos from Dromana Historical Society, recent photos taken from similar locations, material from Dromana Red Hill RSL (the original RSL hall built in 1919 still stands nearby, now used by scouts), books about Dromana, current newspapers, and a “collection of odds and ends”.

The foreshore’s head ranger Michael Everitt collected seeds for the capsule. Sealed in an airtight container with silica gel are seeds of “assorted indigenous grasses, herbaceous perennials, casuarinas, banksias, coastal eucalypts, and melaleucas” (including tea trees), he said. It was hoped they would be planted after the capsule was opened in 2066.

Mr Tannahill told those at the capsule sealing ceremony the large rock would ensure the time capsule did not blow away.

Mr Hunt praised the committee’s work. “It’s almost exactly four years since I attended the unveiling of a plaque in May 2012 to mark where explorer Matthew Flinders came ashore at Dromana in 1802,” he said.

Flinders, credited with naming Australia (pre-

The crowd laughed when Cr Pittock said the rock would ensure the time capsule did not blow away, but the peninsula was relying on Mr Hunt to ensure it did not wash away through higher sea levels. Mr Hunt grimaced, but did not reply.

The foreshore committee is installing the second of several exercise stations on its patch and is about to start building a viewing platform for people in wheelchairs, which will be opposite the information centre.

WHAT’S NEW...

Increasing literacy in our community IMAGINE a life where you cannot read the road signs or a map, where you have to buy takeaway because you don’t know how to read a recipe, and where you even have trouble scanning your bills or reading medicine directions. That is the experience of 30 per cent of the population who survive as functionally illiterate. Peninsula Adult Education and Literacy (PAEL) and Advance Community College are here to help, teaching and mentoring adult students in literacy and numeracy, and are now reaching out for volunteers.

Manager of PAEL, Lyn Treloar explains that free training and resources will be provided and encourages people to come along to the information session.

“PAEL and Advance Community College have received a grant from the Victorian government and now have some extra funds to provide training for new volunteers. As a tutor, you will be helping members of the local community with their reading and writing skills, as well as their numeracy.

A lot of our students are simply people who have fallen through the cracks, either with education, social

or financial situation. Others are migrants who need help with their English skills,” said Ms Treloar. “All that is required of our 1-1 volunteers is a willingness to help and at least one hour per week to spare.”

PAEL aren’t worried about the volunteers’ level of education, as long as they have literacy skills, and the information session will be held in Hastings.

“There is no experience necessary, and after five weeks of training just a couple of hours a week, volunteers will be able to help improve another person’s way of life by tutoring reading and writing. It is incredible what a sense of satisfaction it brings to help someone read or write,” said Ms Treloar.

PAEL helps adults develop their reading and writing, English language and numeracy skills, thus improving their way of life and opening up a world of opportunities for them.

To find out more about getting involved, the short information session is being held at The Hastings Community Hub, 1973 Frankston Flinders Road, Hastings, on Wednesday May 25 at 10.30am.

For further details phone 5986 8177 or 5979 1398.

We are seeking people willing to volunteer their time to help youth and adults develop their reading writing, English language or numeracy skills.

9 FREE tutor training and resources provided 9 Ongoing mentoring 9 NO experience necessary

Hastings & District Community Bank Branch

Deserved award: (L to R) Community Bank director Dominic Tallon, Eddie Tearle & bank manager Greg Hood.

IN HASTINGS FOR THE LONG HAUL!

Picture: Steve Dowling

Bank recognises community leader Eddie Tearle was recently awarded a Hastings Community Bank (Bendigo Bank) community leader award.

Eddie has been a volunteer at the Hastings Mission to Seafarers for 19 years and is currently President of the group. Operating from a small building near the Hastings Port the Mission to Seafarers offers a welcome break to merchant sailors from visiting ships by providing an area for off ship relaxation and welfare support as well as running them into the township in a small bus if needed.

Sailors are often from third world countries and can be away from home for months at a time, sometimes unable to connect with family back home or struggling with the hardships of the lonely lifestyle that is so vital to our economy moving.

Eddie said “we have been called the invisible

volunteers who look after an invisible workforce.”

He explained “It is not generally known that every year the Port of Hastings handles at least 50 ships, each with a crew of between 15 to 25 people. That’s over 1000 visitors a year to Hastings.

Sometimes they are only in Port for a few hours before moving on again but usually it’s longer.”

“The chance for a break from the ship’s routine is important to them. It may be a visit to a church, it may be some personal shopping. Sometimes it’s just the opportunity for a friendly chat.”

Asked what the Hastings Branch needs most Eddie replied “More volunteers. It’s an interesting task that supports an essential service and the rewards and friendships are long lasting. But we need more volunteers.”

People wishing to learn more or volunteer can contact Eddie on 0417 105 717.

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Seven years ago the local community got behind the concept of a community bank. And so the Bendigo Bank (Hastings Community Bank Branch) was started.

The branch offers a complete and very competitive banking service including business banking facilities, housing loans, deposits, etc. as well as insurance and financial planning services But more than that, in the past seven years we have given back over $300,000 to the local community. That’s $300,000 to make our community stronger.

That’s because we are here for the long term. We believe in the future of Hastings and the power of a community that believes in itself.

WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. SWITCH YOUR BANKING TO US. We make it easy and hassle free. Ask us how today.

BUT IT’S BIGGER THAN THAT. You will be helping to build a stronger community.

IT’S SUPPORTING YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY Your Community Bank invests it’s profits into your local community, so just by banking with us you automatically become part of something bigger. Bigger than a bank!

WITH a distinct style all of its own, this character filled home utilises a wonderful combination of timbers, feature brick work and slate tiles to create a warm and inviting ambience that any family will want to call home. A magnificent pair of timber doors opens from the front porch and invites you into the living and dining area which is set underneath soaring timber ceilings and highlighted by a superb brick feature wall which cleverly distinguishes the two zones.

The upstairs main bedroom has an ensuite, and a fourth bedroom adjoins a versatile family or games room

for children. The substantial 1000 square metre block has been landscaped with low-maintenance gardens, yet still provides plenty of lawn area for pets and backyard play with established trees along the boundary providing some privacy. A driveway alongside the home leads to an excellent four-car garage which in addition to the workshop space also has bathroom facilities and a wood heater.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mrs Barclay on the road to recovery Compiled by Melissa Walsh WE are pleased to note that Mrs Barclay, of “Osborne House”, is slowly recovering from the accident which occurred about two weeks ago, when she was knocked down by a motor car as she alighted from a tram in Swanston street, Melbourne. *** PRIVATE W. White will be tendered a farewell social and presentation on Saturday (this evening) in the Recreation Hall, Langwarrin, previous to his departure for the front. *** MESSRS Adamson, Strettle and Co will hold their second sale at Tanti,on Monday next, when they will have a good yarding of cattle, sheep and pigs. The sale will commence at one o’clock. *** THE monthly meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association will be held on Monday next, May 15th at 8 p.m. in Somerville Hall when the following business will be transacted:—Cool stores, co-operation, and routine. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will sell at the mart, this (Saturday) afternoon, commencing at 2 o’clock, a quantity of useful household furnishings, tools and sundries, on account of Mrs W. Davy, who is leaving the district, and several other vendors. *** ALL who wish to increase their

knowledge of the conditions under which “Our Boys” have fought should not miss the display to be given in the Somerville Hall on Friday night, May 19th, when three realistic, thrilling scenes are to be staged. Particulars are advertised. *** WORD was received on Wednesday that Driver A. G. Young had met with an accident at Broadmeadows through being knocked down by the horses, and the waggon dragged over him on Tuesday last. He sustained a badly cut knee and injury to his back. We are pleased to state that he is progressing satisfactorily towards recovery at the Base Hospital. *** IN consequence of recent thefts in the district, the Langwarrin Progress and Vigilant Association have arranged with a private detective firm, so that prompt action will, in future be taken to protect the interests of members. From information received, prompt action can now be relied upon. *** THOSE in want of a pleasant weekend residence and accommodation are notified by advertisement in another column that “Cherbury” near the railway station, Frankston, supplies all their requirements. All particulars will be supplied by Mrs S. E. Innes. ‘Phone 15, Frankston Exchange. *** ON May 5th, a very fine enlarged

illuminated photograph, executed

by Mr J. C. Garrood, was presented to Rev G. A. Kitchen, M.A., scout master, by the First Frankston Troop of Scouts, as a token of esteem and regard with which he was held. Master A. M’Comb, in a few well chosen words, made the presentation, after which the rev gentleman responded by saying that he hoped they would continue to strive and do their best to further the interests of the above troop. *** MR John E. Jones, rate collector, will be in attendance at the following places up to 10th of June, for the purpose of receiving rates and other moneys due the Shire. At Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston on Wednesdays; at Somerville on Fridays; and at Hastings Town Hall on Tuesday in each week. For hours of attendance see advertisement in another column. *** THE following grants have been made to Public Parks on the Mornington Peninsula with the provision in each case that £20 be spent on or before 30th June. Frankston Park, £10, Somerville Park, £10; Hastings Park, £10; Tyabb Park £10; Tyabb Recreation Reserve £10. *** CR Murray, chairman of the finance committee of the Frankston and Hastings Council, at its last meeting drew the attention of the council to the present low state of the finances and the necessity for going slow. The

North Riding would only have £600 to spend during the year, and the East Riding £300, while the Centre Riding had £300 of next year’s revenue spent, as well as all of this year’s. *** THE Rev A P. M’Farlane, vicar of St Andrews, Middle Park, was nominated by the board of nomination held at St Paul’s Cathedral, Melbourne, on Wednesday, to the care of St Paul’s Anglican Church, Frankston, vacant by the resignation of Rev G. A. Kitchen. Mr M’Farlane was formerly vicar of St Paul’s, Frankston, for a period of 21 years. *** THERE was a good attendance at the conversazione held in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening to bid farewell to the Rev G. A. and Mrs Kitchen, after a residence of five years here. The revered gentleman has been Vicar of St. Paul’s during that period, and is leaving to take up a position in Hay (N.B.W.)., under appointment from the Bishop of Riverinm.

The stage was most tastefully decorated with choice plants, and flowers

by Mr Bailey, of the Frankston nursery, whose taste in that direction is well known, the hall space being taken up with occasional tables on each of which was a small vase of flowers, the combined effect of which was very attractive. Mr Kitchen will be much missed socially, as during his stay here he has been very active in

his endeavors to provide amusement and healthful recreation for the young people, as well as taking an active share in the local Progress Association, Mechanics Institute, and other similar institutions. He organised St. Paul’s Club, which by its entertainments, helped to wile away the tedium of the long winter evenings,and also the Frankston Billiard Club, which was well patronised previous to the outbreak of the war, and will doubtless prove an equity on to Frankston on the return of its younger men from the front. Another thing that Mr Kitchen has been very successful in is the formation of the Boy Scouts movement, and be has now a body of some 25 boys, to whom he has devoted a deal of time in drilling and training them in the varied exercises particular to the movement.

As honorary secretary to the Red Cross Society in Frankston, Mrs Kitchen has devoted a deal of her time, and by her departure the society will lose a member whose place it will honor and be hard to fill. Dr. Maxwell, in bidding good-bye, said the occasion was a sad one, and he would feel happier when it was over.

They were about to lose Rev. G. A.Kitchen, who had been with them five years. He had been a good citizen and there were persons in the hall that evening who would be pleased do him honor. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 13 May, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Muffin’s Gonna Stop Us Now

By Stuart McCullough IT was inevitable, I guess. Sooner or later, it was my destiny that I should be lured back by the siren’s sweet and funky song. It was only ever really a question of when. So it is that after twenty years I have taken the bold leap back into music and joined a band. And not just any band, either.

More a super group. By which I mean, of course, that we may wear capes when appearing on stage. So behold the melodic wonderment of my new band, as it will shortly establish itself as a veritable earworm factory. Ladies and gentlemen; I give you Blueberry Crumble Muffin.

If you’re thinking that Blueberry Crumble Muffin is either a vane indulgence or a mid life crisis (or both) you couldn’t be more wrong. The whole exercise is one, gigantic artist statement. Namely a statement that says: prepare to have your minds blown.

BCM isn’t one of those uber-lame groups that is in fact just one ego maniacal guy and hired hands drafted in to make the video clips seem less sad (yes, I’m looking at you, Simply Red).

We’re not like that at all. We’re more like a UN sponsored power-sharing arrangement. That’s because the cofounder and co-lead vocalist of Blueberry Crumble Muffin is my ten-yearold niece, Matilda.

Matilda and I aside, the band is pretty much the standard ensemble of bass, keyboards, guitar and unicorn.

We feel very strongly that BCM ought to have a unicorn on drums despite the fact that such creatures are not only mythical but as quadrupeds, lack the

opposable thumbs necessary to hold a drumstick. Despite the obstacles, it’s a scientific fact that unicorns are as funky as all get out and it would be an act of supreme foolishness not to have one holding down the rhythm section.

We’ll probably have a puppy on bass, too. Not for any particular reason. We

just both really like puppies.

But bands aren’t much if they don’t produce music. In fact, the first band I was ever in featured my brother and our neighbour Ashley Nissen and it suffered for the fact that we never produced any music. Not a single note.

This, I suspect, severely impaired our

ability to grow our fan base, which at that time was limited to the dog and a handful of chickens. I blame this somewhat spectacular oversight partly on the fact that I was nine years old and the others younger still, and that we had no instruments. This is a mistake that Matilda and I are determined to avoid.

But before we get to cranking out the hits, we need to decide on our musical direction and the best way to do that is to discuss our chief musical influences. Mine are Radiohead, Igor Stravinsky and The Randy Van Horne Singers (preferably the early stuff – I went off them when they got too commercial).

Matilda’s are her parents. But even before the band was formed, we started writing music together. A while back, Matilda stayed at our house during which we developed the chorus for a little tune we call ‘Eat Your Bagel’.

The title pretty much says it all.

There are distinct advantages in being in a band that’s largely imaginary. One of the greatest difficulties in being in a group is coordinating rehearsal. Trying to set a time when everyone can turn up is one of the major challenges facing any musician.

It becomes a pseudo litmus test for your level of commitment. If Darren the drummer says ‘no’ to three proposed rehearsal times, his heart’s not really in it and it’s probably best for everyone if you get someone else or, better still, replace him with a drum machine. It’s not a problem we have.

We also get to avoid loading and unloading the gear from the car. Packing up your gear and hauling it to either

rehearsal or a performance is a sorely overlooked part of being a musician.

The greatest skill you can possess as a gigging musician is not a major seventh barre chord or the ability to play a million miles an hour. It’s figuring out how to fit the kick drum into a boot that’s already chock a block full. It’s well a known fact that Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks would not be half as good if Van hadn’t figured out how to squeeze a floor tom into the glove box of his Toyota Corolla.

It’s probably premature, but I’m already giving a lot of thought to merchandise. T-shirts and tote bags are to be expected. But I see a line of customized Blueberry Crumble Muffin aprons with the band logo and our faces coming out of a rainbow. Lunchboxes too. With our marketing plan in place, all that remains is for us to create the greatest music to ever tickle an eardrum.

Last night, Matilda stayed at our house. I guess you could say it was our first official band meeting. After a couple of renditions of ‘Eat Your Bagle’, we started another song called, ‘Karate Party’. The opening lines are: ‘I’m gonna throw a karate party, with Violet Crumble and a bowl of Smarties’. Although it retains all the much-loved elements of the classic BCM sound, it’s rockier than our earlier effort. I think it’s the unicorn’s influence but Matilda disagrees. Whatever the reason, it’s undoubtedly awesome. Rock on, Blueberry Crumble Muffin. Rock on. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

THE MAN IN BLACK

By Billy Dixon With a career spanning almost twenty years, half a million album sales, gold and platinum albums and eight Golden Guitar Awards, Adam Harvey is back in black, telling the story of Johnny Cash with country music belle Catherine Britt.

The Man In Black has been reloaded after two sell-out seasons at the Sydney Opera House and an 18-month Australia-wide tour.

The acclaimed show, originally starring Tex Perkins narrating the life of Johnny Cash, won a Helpmann Award for Best Contemporary Australian Concert.

Starring in this year’s tour of The Man In Black, Adam Harvey is one of Australia’s most popular and enduring recording artists.

“My Dad brainwashed me with Johnny Cash records when I was a kid and I’ve loved his music for as long as I can remember... it’s a great privilege to tell the story. He had an incredible rollercoaster of a life and his music reflected that,” Adam explains.

He’ll be taking up the mantle of The Man In Black with Catherine Britt, revealing the tumultuous love story and singing the timeless classics of country music legends

PAGE 42

Western Port News 10 May 2016

Johnny Cash and June Carter.

During the mesmerising two-hour performance, Harvey’s full-bass voice booms out the lyrics to 20 of Cash’s best-known songs including Ring of Fire, I Walk the Line, Folsom Prison Blues, A Boy Named Sue, and Jackson, all with the boom-chica-boom rhythms of his band The Tennessee Three.

Following Tex’s efforts with the show, Adam and Catherine have really made it their own. Says Catherine, “I’ve never really done anything like it before... but it’s Johnny Cash’s story and music, and it doesn’t get much better than that. It’s so well written, it’s challenging and the songs are just so great. It feels fresh every time we walk on stage!”

The duo have been friends for years, and have immense respect for each other’s musical abilities – a wonder to behold on stage, and the possibilities are almost endless. “We’re talking about doing some overseas stuff... I’m up for anything!” notes an excited Catherine.

They’re playing at the Frankston Arts Centre on Friday, 3rd June. Tickets available online @ www.thefac.com.au or call 9784 1060.

LANDSCAPES AND EVENTIDE

By Andrea Louise Thomas Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery presents two interesting new exhibitions.

Country and Western examines the national landscape from the perspective of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists.

Eventide is a print exhibition centred on the time between day and night.

day and night is a time of transition and transformation. Thirty-one Australian printmakers explore this in the Eventide exhibition. The exacting nature of printmaking with the use of positive and negative space evocatively conjures images of this in-between time that so captivates the imagination.

When the Papunya Tula dot and circle paintings came to prominence in the early 1970s, it was hailed as the greatest art movement of the 20th century. So radically different was their representation of the Australian landscape that it sent shockwaves through the art world. It influenced nonIndigenous Australian artists. Country and Western looks at the impact of this movement.

It also considers issues affecting the land and its inhabitants, such as, environmental changes, mining, land degradation, dispossession, identity and collaboration. The exhibition celebrates the natural beauty and majesty of the Australian continent. Featuring the work of thirty-nine artists, this show is certain to expand perceptions.

Country and Western and Eventide run from Friday, 13th May to Sunday, 3rd July at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery MPRG, Civic Reserve, Mornington. 5975 4395. www. mprg.mornpen.vic.gov.au.

TASTE OF SORRENTO Historical, seaside Sorrento is again hosting its mouth-watering food, wine and beer festival during the first weekend in June, and it’s set to be the best yet.

The program includes a variety of gastronomical delights including masterclasses, cooking demonstrations, tutored tastings, degustations, gourmet menus, foodies’ market and more, all in the heart of Sorrento village. Starting Thursday evening and continuing throughout the weekend, a variety of gourmet lunches, dinners and classes will take place in restaurants, cafes and even the demonstration kitchen in the “Taste” marquee hosted at the Claret & Co (previously Three Palms) courtyard at 154 Ocean Beach Road.

Taste of Sorrento is proud to play host to several highly-acclaimed chefs and food writers in this year’s event, who’ll present masterclasses not to be missed. Just a few of these include: • Jacques Reymond (pictured) – Michelin star and three-hatted chef • Adrian Li – Saigon Sally • Adam D’Sylva – executive chef at Coda and Tonka in Melbourne • Paul Mercurio – chef, author and TV presenter • Bob Hart – food writer, broadcaster (3AW and the Herald Sun), chef, author (Heat And Smoke, 1 And 11 – Mastering the Dark Art

of Real Barbeque) The highly popular foodies’ market and “Taste” day will be extended in 2016 to feature across 2 days! From 10am to 3pm on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June, producers, provedores, wineries and brewers will put out their best gourmet supplies while a series of demonstrations are provided in the Marquee kitchen. With music and kids’ entertainment filling the street, it will be a great day for tasting, sipping, listening and indulging in the best that Sorrento and the Mornington Peninsula have to offer.

With many more interesting boutique activities all set in a spectacular, historic seaside village only 90 minutes south of Melbourne, or a relaxing 40 minutes by ferry across the bay from the Queenscliff, Taste of Sorrento is a great way to treat the senses and embrace all that winter has to offer.

A full event program is available at www. tasteofsorrento.com.au, or you can download the Sorrento – Live the Life app from the App Store or Google Play to make direct bookings and find event locations.

Brought to you by the Sorrento-Portsea Chamber of Commerce and proudly supported by Searoad Ferries, with thanks to sponsors Mornington Peninsula Shire, Tourism Victoria, Bayside Automotive Group and the Mornington Peninsula News Group.

Sharks turn it around PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt BONBEACH went from being belted by Frankston YCW by 114 points in round four to causing the upset of the season a week later in MPNFL Peninsula Division.

Sitting on the bottom of the ladder without a win in 2016, the Sharks headed to Wooralla Drive to tackle an undefeated Mt Eliza.

By quarter time it was evident that the Bonbeach side that was hammered by the Stonecats was very different to the one that turned up at the home of the Redlegs.

The Sharks had nine scoring shots to one in the opening quarter and by half time they had opened up a 31 point lead. The lead had blown out to 46 points by the final break.

Mt Eliza rallied in the final quarter and booted six goals to two to eventually go down 14.12 (96) to 11.9 (75).

Luke Damon booted four goals for the winners while Shane McDonald booted three.

Beau Bailey was again named the Sharks’ best, a former Frankston YCW junior. Ash Waterstone got the tough job on Justin Van Unen and, despite the master booting one of the best goals ever seen, kept him to three goals.

‘JV’ was still outstanding for the Redlegs and is having a very good season under the experience of a new coach.

Bonbeach coach Steve Hughes said on Sunday morning that “the coffee tastes better and the paper is a more enjoyable read after a win”.

“I was really pleased for the players that we were able to turn it around because they have been working really hard for a long time and the results just haven’t been there,” Hughes said.

“I told the group through the week that we had been in the same situation last season, where we were beaten by 100-plus by Frankston YCW in round eight and came out and beat the second placed side, Mornington, the following week.

“Maybe what happens is that YCW kick the bad habits out of you.

“It was important to have a really positive week on the track last week and have a bit of fun.

“There was no external expectation on us going into this match but internally, we just wanted to be proud of the way we played the game. I was really proud of the way they responded and played the game out.

“It’s been a real stressful time for them because they have done the work and are not winning games. They deserved to get the four points,” Hughes said.

Bonbeach was a lot hungrier this week, stuck its tackles and used the footy well; all areas where they fell down the week before and during important moments of previous matches.

Hughes said Damon set the tone for the day with his attack on the footy.

“Luke is a real competitor and he’s a real football purest. He split open some packs early and that really

got us going,” Hughes said.

Frankston YCW again made light work of an opponent – this time it was Pines.

The Stonecats booted six goals to one in the opening half and won 12.19 (91) to 5.8 (38).

David Bodley was outstanding with five goals while Paul Minchington was at his absolute best with three majors.

Chris Guganovic and Adam Mariner were the best of the Pythons.

Seaford started its match against Langwarrin the same way it finished its match against Karingal the week before – flat and running backwards.

At quarter time, the Tigers had watched the Kangas have 13 shots at goal and lead by 32 points at the break.

However, through Josh Stokes, Kain Taylor and Brendan Dawes, worked their way back into the contest.

By half time the Tigers had booted seven goals, kept the opposition scoreless and led by nine points.

The Tigers ran out 12.12 (84) to 8.16 (64) winners and moved to third place on the ladder.

Mornington got their season back on track against Chelsea, although the scoreboard would suggest that the Gulls kicked themselves out of it – 7.19 (61) to 13.11 (89).

Michael Gay was back for the Dogs for his first game and he made a significant impression, as did Jackson Calder with three goals.

Beau Caia and James Sivijs were the best of the Gulls.

Edithvale–Aspendale bounced back from its shock loss last week to beat Karingal, 13.12 (90) to 10.11 (71).

The Eagles set up the win with a six goal to two opening quarter, Mick Meehan booting four and Brendan Neville again best.

Jordan Kelly and Chris Hay, both back into the Karingal line up, booted two each, while Harry Czarnecki collected the top award.

MPNFL Sharks pick leaders INTERLEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE MPNFL Sharks have culled the interleague squad to less than 60 players as preparation continues for the May 21 clash against Northern Football League.

Coach John Hynes said despite the fact that the list was starting to be fine-tuned, there were some players who were continuing to be added to the squad.

Dan Gormley from Mt Eliza and Beau McMurray from Dromana has also been added.

One player that is not in the squad but demands selection in the first five rounds is Hastings’ Luke Hewitt.

Gormley and McMurray have been added for their forward power and prowess and they are wonderful, experienced players.

However, there is no more explosive, powerful, strong marking, goal kicking, forward pressuring forward in the competition at the moment than Luke Hewitt.

The Sharks have also elected five leaders to

take the team into the match.

Frankston YCW defenders Byron and Anthony Barry, Mornington star defender Warwick Miller, Dromana coach Rikki Johnston, Pines mid Luke Potts and Sorrento skipper James Hallahan are all part of the leadership group.

Training will continue at Frankston’s Jubillee Park over the next couple of weeks before a final week hit out at Kars St Oval.

Jewell has the last laugh NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt OFF the field, it was built up as Rosebud Football Club versus former premiership coach Nick Jewell.

On the field, it was nothing more than getting the four points for Jewellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new club Sorrento and the Buds.

It went to the wire. One point separated the sides at the final siren after Sorrento controlled the match for the larger part of the contest.

However, with Luke Tapscott in hospital after copping a head knock, Nick Muller off the ground with an AC joint injury and Trev Mattison tearing a hamstring, the Sorras could do nothing but hang on as the visitors and reigning title holders came charging.

The Sharks led by 28 points at three quarter time and at one stage led by six goals, however the Buds booted 4.4 to one point in the last to fall short by the smallest of margins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 10.12 (72) to 10.11 (71).

Sorrento forward Nick Corp was the dominant player on the ground with four goals. He could have finished with double that had it not been for inaccuracy.

At the end of the game, Jewell turned to a portion of the Rosebud crowd, grabbed his Sorrento club polo and kissed the emblem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just a case of showing some of the Rosebud supporters that this is where I am now and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m loving it,â&#x20AC;?

Jewell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear from the Rosebud

crowd all day until the last quarter and I really took offence to what they were saying to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Forryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (Rob Forrest), who was on the bench with me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cop it all the time and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother me but Forry didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went and spoke to the Rosebud players on the ground. I love them and have nothing but respect for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, it was just a couple

of the monkeys in the gallery that I had a problem with,â&#x20AC;? Jewell said.

The Sorrento coach was happy with his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were terrific for three quarters and fought hard to fight it out to the end,â&#x20AC;? Jewell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matto (Mattison) was sensational, getting back on the ground despite a hamstring and the good news is that

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tappyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (Tapscott), who lost feeling in his left side before the ambulance arrived, has had scans and all is ok other than a very sore neck,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Both Keegan and Sean Downie were superb for the Buds.

Somerville flexed its muscles and showed Hastings that it has some work to do before it can be considered as a serious challenger.

The Blues went into the match without Josh Mulheron, Luke Clark, Mark Devereaux, Steve Robb and Scott Jansen, which certainly had them on the back foot, however when the going got tough early in the first quarter, the Blues waved the white flag.

Injuries was used as an excuse by one Hastings official at three quarter time before another official corrected him and simply stated the Blues were â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;limpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Other than Jake and Luke Hewitt, Shaun Foster and Peter Mawson, the Blues didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a yelp.

Hastings were bullied off the ball, were second to the footy, played from behind, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t chase, lacked intensity, ran forward of the footy and looked so much slower than Somerville.

Take nothing away from the Eagles, however â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they did everything right for three quarters.

When the game was over, the Blues booted nine goals in the last quarter to Somervilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two, finally going down 12.9 (81) to 19.10 (124).

The only concern for the Eagles was Justin Farrelly going down just before three quarter time with a knee injury.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fazâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; said he hyperextended it and would be alright.

Red Hill booted the final five goals of the game to come from 24 points down at the ten minute mark of the last quarter to beat Rye 10.10 (70) to 10.6 (66).

An emotional Hillmen coach Tony Blackford said it was one of the best victories he had been involved with and showed his side had enormous courage and fight.

Matt Hyden was simply sensational for the Hillmen and willed his side across the line when they needed someone to stand up.

Matt Greig again almost single handedly won the Demons the game with six goals, four of them coming in the first half.

Pearcedale booted eight goals to two in a blistering opening term against Dromana and went on to record a very convincing 18.15 (123) to 10.10 (70) victory.

The Panthers havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a daunting proposition at home for some time but that certainly is changing again under the guide of coach Jamie Merchan.

Kallum Searle played his best game for the club while Glenn Anderson booted three goals.

Billy Quigley and Christian Ongarello were the best of the Tigers.

Frankston Bombers took its good form against Hastings one step further against Devon Meadows and beat them 25.13 (163) to 13.7 (85), while Crib Point won its first game of the season, beating Tyabb with Brad Davidson booting five goals in his 150th game.

Four clubs chasing championship glory SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FOUR local clubs are in the hunt for title honours after six rounds of the 2016 soccer season.

Mornington is equal on points with league leader Malvern City, Skye and Baxter head their respective leagues while Rosebud Heart is breathing down the neck of its Baxter Park arch rival.

Mornington found Mooroolbark a tough nut to crack but fashioned a 2-1 win in their State 1 South-East clash at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday.

Andy McCabe’s visitors deservedly went in 1-0 up at the interval thanks to a 43rd-minute strike from Adam Doughty.

During the break Mornington coach Adam Jamieson replaced Scott Webster with Nick Waite and switched to a 4-3-3 formation and this attacking move was rewarded with an equaliser in the 59th minute via a low, hard drive from the edge of the box by Chris Reid.

Jamieson then substituted defender Chris McKenna for winger Michael Freeman who skinned two opponents in the 83rd minute and struck a firm shot across the opposition keeper and into goal for the winner.

Mooroolbark’s Dave Brickell was sent off in the 89th minute.

Frankston Pines succumbed to a Korean KO when it went down 4-2 away to Casey Comets in their State 1 South-East derby last Friday night.

Comets went ahead in the 36th minute thanks to a Danny Waddup cross and a header into the far corner

Pines felled: Frankston Pines midfielder Matt Davis. Picture. Picture: Paul Seeley

by gun Comets striker Ryan Hughes.

South Korean import Sanghyup Han’s low left foot free-kick in the 44th minute somehow eluded everyone and nestled in the far corner of the Pines goal to make it 2-0.

But Pines hit back in the 67th minute when a short corner found Matty Davis who curled the ball over Com-

ets custodian Michael Sivulja then Matthew Hames robbed an opponent and set up Ioasa Saemo for a tap in to make it 2-2 after 71 minutes.

That was the signal for Han and Junsoo Park to do their thing.

In the 75th minute Han sent his countryman clear and Park finished past a helpless Sam Griggs in the Pines goal.

Han settled matters two minutes later with a shot on the turn from 10 metres.

Langwarrin continued its stuttering start to the State 1 South-East season when it slumped to a fourth loss in six games going down 3-1 away to Manningham United Blues on Saturday.

Franc Carafa gave the home team the lead after nine minutes but Langy’s stand-in skipper Boris Ovcin equalised and it was 1-1 at half-time.

Two classic snatch-and-grab strikes in the second period by Vojtech Engleman in the 70th minute and Aaron Root in the 85th minute left Langy lamenting a series of missed chances.

Manningham’s Matthew Infantino was sent off in the 89th minute.

The promotion momentum of Peninsula Strikers took a hit with a 4-1 away loss on Sunday in a State 2 South-East clash with North Caulfield.

Ilya Davidov put Yonnie Lipshatz through in the 8th minute and he toepoked the ball past advancing Strikers keeper Richard Ojo to make it 1-0.

Strikers hit back six minutes later when Trevor Johnston found space at the back post to power a header past Oscar Vonk following a corner from

the right.

Just on half-time referee Hary Milas pointed to the penalty spot and Gideon Sweet converted.

Red cards for Matt Morris-Thomas and substitute Ali Osmani in the second half ended Strikers’ hopes and Davidov struck twice in the closing minutes to complete the scoreline.

Seaford United went down 1-0 in a State 2 South-East clash away to promotion chasing Doveton on Saturday but showed great determination in stretching the home side every inch of the way.

The decisive moment came in the 16th minute after Seaford passed up three chances to clear and Saidi Simba’s deflected shot wrongfooted Seaford keeper Nick Bergmans.

Skye United heads the State 4 South table after Saturday’s 4-2 home win over Endeavour United.

Skye captain Mark O’Connor’s low shot in the 11th minute opened the scoring but Dalveer Jandu levelled midway through the half after nutmegging a defender then firing the ball past Skye keeper Jonathan Crook.

Jason Nowakovski then handed the visitors the lead less than five minutes later, cutting inside on his left to find the back-of-the-net.

Skye’s Josh Tanner restored parity right on half-time when his cross, directed at the front post, snuck through keeper Franco Marateo’s legs to make it 2-2.

With 12 minutes remaining, Skye hit Endeavour on the break as substitute Matt Wilson propelled his side into an unlikely lead with a powerful attempt across Marateo and into the

bottom left corner.

Man-of-the-match Daniel Attard sealed the result five minutes later in similar circumstances.

Skye gaffer Billy Armour is keen to maintain his club’s momentum and was hoping to sign Alex Roberts from Seaford as we went to press.

Baxter kept its perfect record intact and sits on top of State 5 South after a 2-0 away win over Old Mentonians last weekend.

The visitor took a 1-0 lead into the half-time break thanks to a clever free kick from Liam Kilner which set up Daniel Sharratt for a tap-in and his second goal of the season.

Shaun Walker settled the issue after coming off the bench in the 75th minute to open his account for 2016.

Local rival Rosebud Heart also has made a perfect start to the season and stayed on a collision course with Baxter thanks to a 5-0 away win against Pakenham United on Saturday.

A three-goal blitz in the opening 15 minutes ended this as a contest.

Heart’s goals came from Dave Greening (3), Beau Sharpe and Aaron Young.

Pies learn to fly again against Yabbies CRIB POINT FNC

By Jared Newton SATURDAY was a breakthrough for the club with all three football teams getting over the line as the seniors broke their early season drought to beat Tyabb by 82 points at the Yabby Pond.

After a slow start kicking into the wind where the Pies could only muster 1.6 to quarter time, the Pies slammed on 23 goals in the remaining three quarters to put aside their goal kicking troubles for the afternoon.

With a dominance display in the middle after quarter time with James Cook providing first use to the on-ball brigade where Luke Herrington, David Cook and Brad Arnold swarmed the football like a fat kid on a fondue set.

Luke Herrington helped himself to five goals despite a heavy tag and Brad Davidson in game 151 also got busy helping himself to five goals himself.

A clear-cut BOG was Brad Arnold, however the game was a coming of age for Nick Rutherford who quite possibly stamped himself as a full-time senior footballer with his best game as a senior to date.

The win should have given the boys a bit of belief for the remaining games to have a crack and win their share of games over the coming months.

The reserves did what was required in their game to win in convincing fashion by 52 points. The reserves were never really headed as they jumped out to a five goal to one opening quarter however they probably were a tad flat in their application and voice was down.

Despite that it still was a solid performance and when the game needed a bit of spark the reserves always de-

livered.

Neil Clark was took mark after mark up forward and helped himself to seven goals in an unstoppable BOG performance. He was also well supported

by Bernie Rinse who kicked three and Danny Vercoe with two.

Lee Koerner, Luke Conway and Zak Condick provided plenty of drive for the Pies, while Mitchell Davis and Justin Bourke continued their improvement with their best games for the Pies this season.

There are no real passengers in the reserves team at the moment which makes selection for Crib Point veteran and uber-coach Ricky Thompson very difficult. Injured players are healing and other former players are sniffing around for a game.

The under 19s also continued their good form with a 37 point win over the Nippers in the 10am game.

Straighter kicking could have put the game away earlier however Tyabb provided a few headaches for the unders in the first half before they clicked into gear in the 3rd with a six goal quarter to set up the win.

Joely Wisken kicked three in a solid game and Jayden Deas probably already has one hand on the B&F trophy with another solid game in the middle.

The silent Beauy Baker and young Rooster were also solid in defence for the Pies.

Three wins in a day are a rarity and it was good to see the club enjoy them and a few scowls of recent weeks turning into smiles. Time to knuckle down as we take on the old foe, Hastings, in what will be three hard fought games at Crib.

It’s round six and neither senior team has posted a home win yet so let’s try and end that trend this weekend.

Picture: Emma Davidson

Soaring Eagles give Hastings the blues HASTINGS FNC ON Saturday Hastings FNC welcomed Somerville FNC to Barclay Oval in a top of the table clash between two Western Port neighbours.

The game was certainly going to be ripper but unfortunately only one side turn up with Somerville running out comfortable winners.

This week sees the club head to Crib Point for the Ron Moncrief Cup between two local rivals in what should be a ripping game of local football/ netball.

Our netballers are certainly showing that they are willing to listen and learn in there development and this is being seen on the court. They may not be getting any wins but as a club we feel it’s not too far away.

Next Game: Hastings FNC vs Crib Point FNC at Crib Point. All games start from 10.00 am onwards.

Seniors Report Somerville gave us a bit of a lesson on our own ground as we were handed our first loss for the season.

We had our chances early but couldn’t put anything on the board.

Somerville ran harder and faster than us and our pressure was off; not up to past weeks standards.

We must push on, put the game behind us and try to get back on the winners board next week.

Saturday was a good lesson. If you don’t bring your “A game” week in week out you will get showed up.

It’s a strong competition and it’s going to be a good close year.

Best on the day Peter Megee, Lochlan Lyeness Pat Langdale and Fraser Rendall best on ground.

Reserves Report THE boys came into this game with confidence knowing that we had competed with the reigning premier last week we were capable of an upset against the other grand finalist of last year.

After letting Somerville get their running game going we were behind most of the day. The boys managed to turn it around and keep them scoreless in the last quarter while kicking four goals ourselves to win by a point.

Great effort by the boys who showed once again we are never out of the fight.

Best afield: Terry Green, Steve Williams, Christian Sewell.

Under 19s Report THIS week we faced top of table Somerville at our home ground.

We started with three on the bench and with a few positional changes the boys were fired up for a contest.

In the first quarter disaster struck when Christopher Gavin went down with an ankle. The boys fought hard and Sean Hewitt kicked truly followed

by Kaylen Jansen with a great shot on the run.

Aaron King was giving us first use in the middle with Peter Megee working hard and running both ways.

Somerville got a run on kicking a couple in a row to go in with a healthy lead at half time.

To the boys credit they fought out the remainder of the game by holding Somerville to only 6 goals after half time. Ben Procter stepping up as a defender with Fraser Rendall proving to be valuable down back.

Netball Report IT was a not so easy, but definitely breezy day at home with our clash against the Eagles.

We knew it was going to be a challenging day against Somerville and would like to acknowledge the Eagles on two very solid sides.

Our C grade girls are showing some real improvements in their game but unfortunately this isn’t being reflected in the scores. They’re still unable to convert goals, however we are confident with a little more hard work in training, the goals will begin to drop.

Special mentions to Monique Boer, whose strength in defense has a visible impact assisting the movement of the ball down the court into attack.

Down the other end of the court, in attack Rianna Smallacombe was a strong presence.

Both girls were well supported by Karlee Collie through the centre; a voice and presence that can be heard on the court at all times, helping to keep the atmosphere up for our C grade girls.

Our B Grade girls had two solid quarters in the middle of the match, but struggled to switch on in the first.

The Somerville girls got away from us right out of the gates and then we struggled to run out the final quarter, Special mention to the Taylah Strange for her hard work in the defensive end, providing our girls with plenty of opportunities with her high

number of turnovers.

But we didn’t convert as many as we would like as the girls tend to lose the ball with their rushed passes in the mid court; something that will be addressed in this week’s training.

Another special mention to Emma Smith whose goaling visibly improved this week. Her hard work at training is paying off and keeping a positive attitude throughout all four quarters is great for the team.

This week we are focusing on the one percenters which are currently missing from out game, but will be the key to improvement on the court and overall success.

Please see Emma Smith, Bec Blackney or Joal Standfield at any training session, selections on a Thursday evening or even on game day to purchase tickets to our fast approaching, not to miss Mid Year Gala Ball. *** Upcoming Functions: John Coleman Coterie Club Luncheon 21st May at 12pm.
