Migrants’ view in images from the past AN exhibition of work by Minela Krupic, left, is an unusual and sometimes eerie collection of images representing the stories of migrants quarantined at Point Nepean.

Palimpsest takes its name from a manuscript from which the text has been scraped or washed off so that it can be used again.

Krupic, who arrived in Australia as a refugee from war torn Bosnia in 1997, uses print-making techniques on various materials such as paper and silk to explore the themes of memory and its fallibility through the manipulation of photographs and the degradation of the image.

“It’s great to be supporting a program like this which encourages migrants and refugees to connect with nature in their new home country.

Parks are not just great places for mental and physical relaxation, but also for artistic interpretation,” Parks Victoria acting manager community engagement Anthea Dee said.

Ms Dee said many refugees “have a strong cultural connection to Point Nepean National Park, given it was the site for the historic quarantine station that many people came through and experienced during its operation from the 1850s to the late 1970s.”

Palimpsest by Minela Krupic is open 9am5pm daily at Point Nepean National Park, Portsea, until Wednesday 30 April. Picture: Yanni

Poll to decide port options

By Keith Platt EXPANSION of the Port of Hastings may be decided at the November state election.

The coalition government is sticking firmly to its plans to make Hastings the busiest port in the country while the Labor opposition is opting for the Bay West option in Port Phillip.

Both sides agree there is a need for a new container port to handle the excess from the Port of Melbourne by 2025.

However, there is dispute over infrastructure costs and access to markets and both port options require massive dredging which could threaten worldrecognised wetlands.

A seminar organised by the Victorian National Parks Association at Hastings on Tuesday was told about the environmental consequences of even a small spill on Western Port’s ecology.

The federal government too has a role in protecting the environment, al-

though doubt has now been cast on the involvement of Flinders MP and Environment Minister, Greg Hunt.

Instead of the port being a “litmus test” of Mr Hunt’s “carriage of national environmental laws”, as called for by the VNPA, it could see him sidelined.

Mr Hunt last week ruled himself out of having a personal role in a planning issue involving setting land aside for wildlife corridor to protect the endangered southern brown bandicoot.

be “setting an unworkable precedent for other ministers” when it came dealing with issues affecting their electorates.

Mr Branigan said a “proper inquiry” was needed under Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act into all aspects of expanding the Port of Hastings.

He said the VNPA had met with Mr Hunt last October to discuss the port “and he played the middle ground”.

Council hits back over CCTV delays

By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire officials have hit back at state government criticism over the “extremely disappointing” delay in installing CCTV in Hastings, while announcing council was now ready to proceed.

Sustainable infrastructure director Alex Atkins said the delays had been caused by technical, safety and legal issues surrounding the proposed mounting of cameras on United Energy owned electricity poles but that these issues had now been resolved.

“Council has reached agreement with United Energy regarding the installation of CCTV cameras in Hastings,” he told The News last week.

“After a series of meetings involving engineers from both organisations

a solution has been agreed that cameras can be mounted on United Energy poles and the fitting of cameras and control boxes will shortly recommence in Hastings after being suspended in December 2013.

“While it is regrettable that it has taken a long time to resolve these matters, it is now considered that the solution being implemented will deliver a lasting and sustainable solution.”

Crime Prevention Minister Edward O’Donohue mounted a stinging attack on the shire council over the delay in installing CCTV systems in Hastings, Mt Eliza and Mt Martha, writing a critical letter to CEO Michael Kennedy and raising the matter in Parliament.

However, Mr Atkins said the shire council had kept the minister “fully in-

formed” of the reasons behind the delays. “Council values the strong working relationship it has with the Minister for Crime Prevention and has kept the minister fully informed of the difficulties being encountered in progressing these projects,” he said.

“Indeed, it was believed that the minister fully understood and appreciated the extensive efforts council was making and the groundbreaking work being done by shire officers in resolving the technical and legal issues involved.”

Delays in installing the CCTV systems have been blamed on safety concerns from United Energy about the proposed installation of cameras on power poles in Hastings.

“Both council and United Energy have sought to ensure that the instal-

lation of CCTV cameras on United Energy poles did not result in any potential electrical or structural safety issue at the time of installation, or any other time over the effective life span of the cameras,” Mr Atkins said. He said the “agreed solution” had required extensive technical consultation and the drafting of a number of reports in order to reach a “binding legal agreements between the parties”.

While the delay during this process had been regrettable, he said the lessons learnt had informed council’s draft CCTV policy and would be applied in any future CCTV project undertaken by the shire. “Shire officers will also be available to share their experiences with other municipalities engaged in the installation of CCTV

systems in public places,” he said.

In a letter addressed to Dr Kennedy that was also sent to peninsula state MPs Neale Burgess, David Morris and Martin Dixon, as well as the mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, and Western Port area councillor David Garnock, Mr O’Donohue accused the council of not doing enough to get the CCTV cameras promised by the state Coalition government up and running.

The following week, Mr O’Donohue addressed state Parliament, telling ministers: “I expect, as do my colleagues in the other place David Morris, the member for Mornington, and Neale Burgess, the member for Hastings, the council to do as the community wishes and install these cameras as a matter of urgency.”

Support for Luke Batty fund builds

By Chris Brennan MOMENTUM continues to build behind the Luke Batty Foundation, with the shire council, federal and state politicians all pledging support for Rosie Batty’s proposed charity fund.

Federal MP for Flinders Greg Hunt last week made contact with Ms Batty and promised to do all he could to support the fund, which was set up in honour of her 11-year-old son.

“As a parent of two young children myself, I can only imagine the pain she is experiencing,” Mr Hunt said.

He said that in the “absolute worst of circumstances, Ms Batty has shown the absolute best of humanity” and he was keen to help her quest to establish a foundation in honour of Luke.

“I have made a personal donation to the Luke Batty Foundation and support Ms Batty in raising funds to help children affected by family violence. I will also approach the federal government on behalf of Ms Batty to see if there are any opportunities for a national contribution.”

State member for Hastings Neale Burgess also pledged to do all he could to ensure Ms Batty received ongoing support and to assist her efforts in building the foundation.

“It’s vital that Rosie continues to get all the support she needs, especially with the tribute match now behind us,” he said. “I’m sure the whole community will continue to stand behind her and I’ll certainly be keeping in close contact and doing all I can to ensure she’s well supported.

“I’m very keen to contribute to her cause and I’ll be exploring state funding opportunities to assist the Luke Batty Foundation.”

The shire’s health and wellbeing team leader Lisa Gray has also been in contact with Ms Batty to offer support and request her input into a council campaign to address family violence.

Ms Batty said the Luke Batty Foundation, which was established after she received donations and pledges of support to address issues such as child abuse and domestic violence, had already raised more than $40,000.

While she is still investigating how to best use the fund, she confirmed it would be focused on “children and trauma”.

She said the support she had received since the murder of Luke on February 12 had been “overwhelming” and thanked the community for standing by her and honouring her son.

“I’ve been stopped in the street and hugged by friends and strangers who have told me how much they’ve been affected,” she said. “All sorts of people have come up to me to give me support.

It’s such a beautiful area and beautiful community. I could not have asked for more support.”

She said she had tried to remain strong in light of the immense suffering felt by Luke’s friends.

“I try to be strong for the children, for Luke’s little friends who are still suffering so much. It’s not just a dream or a nightmare, he really isn’t coming back. I’m trying to be strong for them.

“They want to see me and talk to me, which keeps reminding me of the pain and suffering they’ve been going through, as well as our family and friends, who are also still hurting so much.”

But she now needed to find “a new life, a new role” and hoped her work through the foundation would help that process.

“There’s a huge hole in me now that I’ve lost Luke. I’ll have to work out what feels right and at the same time help spread the message of empathy and hopefully show people the importance of not being so judgemental.

“I don’t know what to do from here. I didn’t plan any of this. I’m following my heart and trying to help where ever I can.”

Fines fine: (from left) Chris Dunstan and Lin Craig donate food items to library officer Larissa Meikle at Hastings Library despite having no overdue items. Picture: Cameron McCullough

Fines food on cards LIBRARY members who feel guilty about that overdue borrowed book can now wipe their debt clean and make a difference in the community.

Mornington Peninsula Library Service will accept non-perishable food instead of library fines until Saturday 17 May as part of a Swap Your Food For Fines initiative aimed at encourage people back to the library and help those most in need at the same time.

Shire mayor Antonella Celi said the fines “amnesty” was a win-win-win for the library, its members and the community.

“The library gets overdue items back into the collection, members get to wipe the slate clean

and those doing it tough within our community also get a helping hand,” Cr Celi said.

Library members can donate items of non-perishable food in lieu of overdue fines by donating one food item for fines under $10, two food items for fines between $10-$20 and three food items for fines above $20.

All donated food to Hastings Library will be given to the Western Port Community Support volunteer group which provides emergency food relief to disadvantaged individuals and families.

Western Port News 15 April 2014

Parks takes over after sacking AFTER months without a chairperson, the voluntary Somers Foreshore Committee of Management has been sacked by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries.

The director of DEPI’s Port Phillip region Travis Dowling delivered the news that control of the foreshore would be handed over to Parks Victoria to the committee’s regular meeting last Tuesday.

In a follow-up email Mr Dowling thanked the six-member committee “for all their hard work” and encouraged co-operation with Parks Victoria.

“Parks Victoria has expertise in coastal infrastructure, recreational boating, public safety and fire management, as well as the authority to take action on compliance issues,” Mr Dowling stated.

David Gill, a committee member since last October, said the sacking was “a sorry indictment of the lack of care for or appreciation of our environment by the minister, his department and our local MP Neale Burgess”.

“The environment part of DEPI has been devastated by cut backs ever since the government included primary industry in the portfolio.”

Mr Gill said his time on the committee had been frustrated by being hampered by paperwork not being finalised on previous grants and difficulties in obtaining access to files.

He had also been concerned that as-

bestos dumped on the eastern cliff was being ignored.

Mr Gill’s concerns also included:  Public money being “wasted” on a pilot program adjacent to a committee member’s home.  “Shabby treatment” shown to volunteers and friends groups.  No action taken over mowing or tree clearing to improve views from properties adjoining the foreshore.  The “unhealthy influence” of some “high powered members” of other groups.

“Instead of investigating its own culpable role, DEPI has handed over the poisoned chalice to Parks Victoria, with no recommendation on a course of action on the real problems,” Mr Gill said.

“I am willing to take part in a no holds barred inquiry into the role of DEPI and the foreshore committee in this tragedy for the foreshore.

“Parks Victoria should know the full story and the DEPI officers concerned should have no further role in the running of Somers Foreshore.”

Mr Gill said he expected a “lively handover session” with Parks Victoria tonight (Tuesday) where he would raise his concerns.

“I hope that the Mornington Peninsula coastline one day has just one [management] body instead of the present piecemeal authorities,” he said.

Life plan: The Sister Works stall at the launch of the Shire’s Health and Wellbeing Plan at The Briars, Mt Martha.

Four-year plan for better life MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire officially launched a four-year plan to make the Mornington Peninsula a “happier, healthier and more hopeful place”.

The Health and Wellbeing Plan was launched at The Barn at The Briars, Mt Martha, with a traditional Welcome to Country by Dean Stewart, of the Boonwurrung Foundation and musical performances by Sherilyn Angel and youth rap group Foreign Souls.

The launch featured a home harvest exchange where people could swap excess fresh produce and a market stall by Sister Works, a social enter-

prise that has brought women asylum seekers, refugees and migrants of non-English speaking backgrounds together to make and sell craft.

In the afternoon community workshops focussed on fresh, local food systems with a 3000 acres presentation by Hannah Schwartz from Planisphere and a developing local food systems presentation by Kirsten Larsen from Melbourne University and Edible Enterprises.

The mayor Antonella Celi described the plan as a “holistic document that promotes community inclusiveness based on sound evidence-based research”.

“Together with the community, local services and other levels of government, the shire seeks to support and create opportunities and partnerships across the peninsula to facilitate healthy places and spaces, healthy lifestyle choices, active local communities, quality of life for all, and a sense of hope and belonging,” Cr Celi said.

“The shire’s Health and Wellbeing plan will help guide the actions needed to develop the shire as a happier, healthier and more hopeful place for all.”

Copies of the plan are at shire offices, libraries or online at www. mornpen.vic.gov.au/health_wellbeing

Shire to review waste strategy

To advertise in Western Port News contact Val Bravo on 0407 396 824

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council is undertaking a review of its waste management strategy and is seeking residents’ views on strategies to enhance sustainable practices, such as recycling and alternatives to landfill.

The shire is mulling a number of issues, including new services such as an organics kerbside collection for kitchen and garden waste.

More than 47 per cent of the waste currently found in the average Mornington Peninsula household rubbish bin is made up of food and garden waste.

Western Port

Other issues include the potential introduction of a weekly recycling service over summer, the effectiveness of the waste voucher system, possible extension of the “no charge� green waste drop off weekends, and the future management of landfill waste.

The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said the shire wanted to know how residents disposed of rubbish, what there recycling habits are, how they used the resource recovery centres, and what they think about alternatives to landfill. “With the Shire’s overall vision to

move towards zero waste to landfill, there are a number of opportunities for the community to get involved in the review process,� Cr Celi said. “This is an opportunity for our community to have a say on the future of waste management within the shire and help guide council to make sustainable decisions for the future.�

Residents can take part in an online forum at www.yoursay.mornpen.vic. gov.au or attend a community forum (book by emailing wastereview@ mornpen.vic.gov.au or call 5950 1257).

Saints could be marching out

By Neil Walker FRANKSTON Council is “disappointed” at plans for St Kilda Football Club’s Seaford to abandon its training centre at Seaford.

The club arrived at Seaford just four years ago under a lease that would see it stay at the $11 million state-of-theart training and administration facility at Belvedere Park until 2035.

The Age revealed last week that the AFL, the state government, Cricket Victoria and MCC officials had talked about the Saints moving back to Junction Oval as part of a multi-million redevelopment of the ground in St Kilda.

The return to a redeveloped Junction Oval, the Saints first home ground before moving to Moorabbin in 1965, would be a sentimental one for many of the team’s supporters but would hurt the club’s much-vaunted strategy to increase membership in the outer south east suburbs.

If the Saints agreed to share Junction Oval with Cricket Victoria the AFL would be able to host games at the MCG in March, early in the footy season.

The lack of availability of the MCG for footy games due to cricket matches at the stadium last month has been cited as a contributory factor to a drop in AFL attendance figures this year.

Council spent about $4 million of ratepayers’ money as part of the 2008 deal to entice the Saints from their former training base at Moorabbin.

The state government tipped in $3.45m, the AFL stumped up $2.55m and the football club chipped in $1.43m plus additional costs to get the club over the line.

Nick off? St Kilda FC captain Nick Riewoldt, pictured at a Saints By The Bay community day in Frankston last month, and his teammates could leave Seaford’s Belvedere Park (above right) to head back to the team’s orginal home ground at Junction Oval in St Kilda five years into the club’s 50-year lease agreement with Frankston Council.

Frankston mayor Darrel Taylor said council is “disappointed that this proposal [Junction Oval] was not discussed with us as a key stakeholder”.

St Kilda said it had not been involved in the discussions about the Junction Oval redevelopment, but consultations with the AFL had included a Saints “presence” in any redevelopment there. A club statement said St Kilda had a “whole of bayside strategy”, including the use of facilities at Seaford and Moorabbin and “strong relationships with Frankston and Kingston city councils”.

Saints players still train at Moorabbin at least once a month.

Several Saints players have previously hinted they were unhappy at the

club’s commercial decision to force them to travel from Melbourne for Seaford training sessions.

Team captain Nick Riewoldt led criticism of the move, telling Triple M radio last year that it was “sad” players had to train at Seaford.

“Moorabbin holds a pretty special place, particularly in the senior players’ hearts, it was sad as a player to move down to Seaford,” he said.

Riewoldt said he lived in South Melbourne so it was more convenient for him to drive the shorter distance to Moorabbin for training.

The Saints opted for the Seaford switch from Moorabbin after a 42 years when Kingston Council refused to let the club move more than 80

poker machines from its social club to a proposed new venue in the same suburb.

Frankston justified spending millions of dollar worth of ratepayers’ money to lure the Saints to Seaford by estimating the community would see more than $42.5m of “on-flow benefits” annually “once the Saints settle in Frankston”.

Critics of the deal at the time, including some councillors, had argued the money could be better spent, saying council should not hand over a large sum of money to a professional AFL club when many community sports clubs were short of funds.

Supporters of the deal said the elite Seaford sporting precinct would be open to community sports clubs. The

Seaford Tigers Cricket Club also uses the precinct as its base.

However, council has not given up hope that St Kilda will honour its commitment to remain at Seaford until 2035.

“We have signed a 50-year lease agreement with the St Kilda Football Club and have worked in partnership with the club to establish strong ties within our community,” Cr Taylor said.

“We look forward to further developing our relationship with the St Kilda Football Club as they see out their remaining 45-year agreement with Frankston City Council.”

St Kilda Wdeclined to comment further until more details of the Junction Oval redevelopment were known.

Port expansion a poll issue Danger for council

front line workers

Continued from Page 1

“We are calling on Greg Hunt, as the local member for Flinders and Australia’s federal environment minister, to remain true to his commitments before the last federal election when he said that if there is a conflict of interest in projects, such as is the case with Western Port where the state government is the proponent, final approval powers will remain with the Commonwealth.”

Mr Branigan said the Port of Hastings Development Authority - which is paying for various geophysical and geotechnical studies with $110 million provided by the state government – “has been told to come up with a case for the port”.

“The development authority is not making an independent review.”

Mr Branigan said a study to find extra port capacity should include Portland, Geelong and the Bay West option.

Hastings real estate agent Chris Watt called radio station 774 ABC Melbourne on Thursday 10 April and said the Friends of the Port of Hastings group had been formed “to counter some of the adverse publicity about bringing a new container port to Hastings”.

Mr Watt said Labor had been was

under union pressure to oppose the port expansion to prevent workers “relocating into a safe Liberal area down at Hastings”.

He said the group believed “that the environment can be catered for and the environment can be protected and I think the premier [Denis Napthine] and the minister have said over many, many years that nothing is going to

happen down here until all the proper studies have been completed”.

“It’s time for the government to stand up and make a decision and get on with what is economically the best decision for Victoria and that is to bring it here, the same as [former premier] Henry Bolte said back in the 60s, even then it was apparent that Port of Hastings had to be built one day.”

Fire danger ends, but permits still required THE declared fire danger period for the Mornington Peninsula ended on Monday.

However, burning in the open air is still restricted and subject to permits issued by Mornington Peninsula

Shire. Rules and restrictions relating to burning off are contained in the shire’s Open Air Burning Local Law at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au Permits are required for open air burning, including incinerators but

not barbecues, on land of 1500 square metres or less. Other rules apply for larger properties.

A report in The News on 8 April incorrectly stated that the fire danger period had ended last week.

THE Australian Services Union wants new guidelines to protect the safety of council law enforcement workers.

It says local laws officers and rangers face physical and verbal threats from people who are told they are breaking laws as well as attacks by dangerous dogs.

Their work can be challenging and sometimes dangerous, creating serious occupational hazards among workers, according to ASU assistant secretary Richard Duffy.

“Over recent years, the state government has expected councils to enforce many more state laws such as the new dangerous dog laws and restrictions on smoking in public places,” he said.

ASU members are employed in law enforcement across local government in roles such as park rangers, health officers, parking officers and animal management officers.

“ASU members tell us that safety is a real concern, including some real horror stories that puts our members at risk, including situations which could become life threatening,” Mr Duffy said.

“We hear stories of members who have been bitten by dangerous animals, have collapsed due to excessive heat or even workers who have been stalked and physically assaulted.

“No employee should be treated like this at work. Police and emergency service workers wouldn’t put up with it, so why should our members?

“The state government is increasing the amount of enforcement activities it

expects of council, so some guidelines need to be quickly set in the interests of employees across all municipalities.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s environment protection and community safety manager Claire Smith welcomed the opportunity for the issue of workplace safety to be publicised.

“The shire takes workplace safety seriously and has a number of measures in place to reduce the risk of violence, including training, safety protocols, and working in pairs,” Ms Smith said.

There have been instances of hostility and violence towards employees of the shire and we welcome the opportunity to raise public awareness of this issue.

“The shire encourages people to treat authorised officers with courtesy; the tasks they undertake are to enhance community safety, protect the environment and promote responsible behaviour.”

Army applications open THE federal government is calling on councils and community groups across the peninsula to submit ideas for new Green Army projects.

Application forms and project guidelines are now available for organisations to begin planning new projects under the Coalition’s environmental programme.

The application process close Friday 9 May. To be eligible for the first round, projects must be ready to commence between 1 July 2014 and 30 June 2015.

Motown man takes final bow

By Neil Walker MUSIC lost one of its greats this month with the passing of composer, arranger and trumpeter Gil Askey at the age of 89.

His name may not be as well known as some of the music legends he worked alongside, but his influence on their songs behind the scenes helped form the world-renowned Motown sound and launched some music greats’ careers into the stratosphere.

Askey was born in Austin, Texas on 9 March 1925 and emigrated to Australia from the US in 1980. He made the Mornington Peninsula his home for the past few decades, and dedicated his later years to passing on lessons learned from his extensive music experience to future generations of musicians, teaching music at Woodleigh School in Langwarrin.

The Washington Post described Askey as “one of the architects of the legendary Motown sound” in a 2004 interview with the soul and jazz music legend. He performed with many iconic musicians such as Mile Davies, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and Count Basie.

He also worked as a music director for several famous Motown acts including Diana Ross, The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5 and Gladys Knight throughout the record label’s successful 1960s heyday.

He continued working with Diana Ross in the 1970s and 1980s and was nominated for a Best Original Score Oscar for his production and arrangement of the Lady Sings The Blues movie soundtrack. The 1972 film was a biopic of Billie

Holiday and featured Diana Ross in her debut appearance as an actor.

Askey told journalist George Negus in a 2004 interview broadcast on ABC TV that “music completely took over my life” from when he was “about seven, eight years old” after he saw Louis Armstrong perform for the first time.

He left Austin when he was 17 to join the US Army Air Corps in 1944 and subsequently headed to university on a medical scholarship where he studied to become a doctor but dropped out to tune in after two years when the call of his first love music became too much to resist.

He began to realise he had a flair for musical composition and arrangement when he enrolled at the Boston Conservatory of Music and then the Harnett National Music Studios in Manhattan.

Askey’s professional music career began as a band member for several 1950s and 60s jazz bands and a move to Detroit brought him to the attention of Berry Gordy’s nascent Motown record label, where his exceptional composing talents quickly saw him became a vital part of Motown’s success.

He was the in-studio composer and arranger of many of Motown’s mid to late-1960s hit singles and albums and was hired by Diana Ross as her musical director after she split from The Supremes in 1969.

Askey also contributed in his own way to the disco boom in the 1970s, hopping genres to compose the smash hit Runaway Love for Linda Clifford.

As he told George Negus in 2004: “It’s just music…people were dancing.”

Askey moved to Australia from the US in 1980

Musician of note: Gil Askey’s memorable career took him from jazz to the studios of Motown and finally to share his knowledge with students from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

after he married his Australian wife, Ellen, who he first met at Festival Hall in 1973 while on tour in Melbourne.

“Seven years later I married this lady and it changed my whole life,” he said.

The married couple had a son, Eric, in 1982. A daughter, Emile, followed.

Askey was still held in such high regard by Motown in 1983 that he was hired to produce the US television special Motown: Yesterday, Today, Forever featuring performances from the likes of Lionel Ritchie, The Commodores, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Junior Walker, The Miracles and The Four Tops.

Michael Jackson’s performance of Billie Jean on the show featured the first public outing of his famous Moonwalk dance. The reaction of the audience to the never before seen dance move was

JUST BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU’RE GIVEN?

so enthusiastic, the taping of the show had to be stopped to allow them to regain their composure so filming of Jackson’s performance could be completed.

Askey retired from touring soon after the birth of his son and settled down in Melbourne and then the Mornington Peninsula.

He returned to performing live in the early 1990s around Melbourne and its suburbs, often accompanied by Hammond player Paul Williamson as part of the The John Montesante Quintet.

In 2010 he appeared as a guest team member on ABC TV’s music quiz show Spicks and Specks.

Show host Adam Hills tweeted via Twitter upon hearing of Askey’s death that he was “a true musical legend, and a terrifically lovely man”.

Askey taught music at Langwarrin’s Woodleigh School and was music director of the Peninsula Youth Music Society band for several years.

Woodleigh School issued a message of condolence on Facebook: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of our great friend and teacher, Gil Askey, who passed away on Wednesday afternoon. Thanks for the tunes, the passion and fun.”

A former student of Askey at Woodleigh School said: “I think of the first time he pointed to me [at age 15], smiled that smile of his and said “Hey guitar man! Play me the blues!”. Every time I walk on stage I play the way I do because of my time learning from Gil at Woodleigh.”

Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and music critic Leonard Pitts Jr said Askey’s 1968 arrangement of the Christmas standard Silent Night for The Temptations as “spiritually, emotionally… transcendent”.

Askey will now “sleep in heavenly peace.”

Gil Askey died on Wednesday 9 April at the age of 89. He is survived by his wife Ellen, son Eric, daughter Emile and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Painter makes a show close to home SHOREHAM-based artist Ann-Heather White is holding her first solo exhibition on the Mornington Peninsula in Balnarring.

“White has previously exhibited at metropolitan and interstate galleries, but this is the first time she has had a full solo show locally,” Applestick Gallery director Karina Armstrong said.

“We think it is exciting. Her previous shows have drawn praise from highly reputable critics so it is wonderful that peninsula residents now have an opportunity to see the full sweep of her work.

“It is also topical because only a few months back she won the inaugural Sorrento Prize for abstract painting with a single entry.”

Australian Encyclopaedia of Art publisher Susan McCulloch has described White’s work as being “unique and utterly memorable”.

“The sensual quality of the paintwork is … a more refined layering than is seen in the work of other landscape painters,” Prof McCulloch wrote about an earlier exhibition

by White.

The Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s Rod James has written about White’s use of “bright and bold colours underpinned by a series of intriguing formal and compositional structures”.

“These paintings look for new ways of saying old things,” he stated.

Ms Armstrong said these same qualities of “sensual but subtle and complex paintwork” had underpinned White’s success at Sorrento.

“Her works are always visually pleasing, but subtle and complex enough to be constantly fresh, however often one looks at them. They are works that are pleasant to live with but always constantly surprising.”

Ann-Heather White’s works will be shown at Applestick Gallery, 3015 Frankston-Flinders Rd, Balnarring, until 27 April.

Petition brings asylum seekers ‘home’ to MPs

By Neil Walker OUTRAGE at Australia’s treatment of asylum seekers will soon land at the doorsteps of Dunkley MP Bruce Billson and Flinders MP Greg Hunt with Amnesty International preparing to deliver a petition to both Liberal Party ministers demanding the federal government respond to a report on Manus Island the human rights group released late last year.

The peninsula branch of Amnesty International has been collecting signatures for the petition at Mornington market in Main St for the past three Wednesdays. Amnesty International investigators visited the Manus Island detention centre in Papua New Guinea last year, describing conditions they saw there as “cruel and humiliating”.

Amnesty International delivered the report entitled This is Breaking People to federal immigration minister Scott Morrison in December last year. The extensive report detailed “a host of human rights violations”, including a claim asylum seekers detained at Manus Island had access to just 500ml of drinking water per day, less than 10 per cent of the recommended 5 litres per day in “hot and humid conditions”.

The report also stated toilet facilities at the detention centre often had no soap leading to outbreaks of preventable illnesses such as gastroenteritis.

Amnesty International noted just one refugee sent to Manus Island had been resettled since June 2012 and concluded the Australian government’s regional resettlement program was “inhumane” since asylum seekers were given no timeline, no informa-

tion and “no hope” about their bid for asylum.

Mr Morrison responded to the report by stating offshore processing of asylum seekers was “here to stay” but “where improvements can be made and can be justified, they will be made”.

Frankston resident Kevin Bain, a member of Amnesty International, who has been manning the group’s stall in Mornington with other volunteers each week, said more about 500

Western Port News 15 April 2014

signatures for the petition had been collected so far.

“It has been encouraging to hear so many people express the strong view that what is happening at Manus Island is wrong”.

Amnesty International has stepped up its efforts to force Mr Morrison to improve conditions at Manus Island in the wake of the death of 23-year-old Iranian man Reza Berati during unrest in the detention centre in February this

year. PNG police continue to investigate allegations Mr Berati was murdered during riots at the centre.

Mr Bain said it is not illegal to seek asylum from danger and condemned the federal government’s treatment of refugees as “brutal and barbaric”.

“We want to show Bruce Billson and Greg Hunt that this is not just a Canberra-focused national issue,” he said.

“There’s a lot of local opposition to the disgraceful way the Australian govern-

ment is treating asylum seekers on our behalf.”

The petition, due to be delivered to Mr Billson and Mr Hunt within the next few weeks, expresses concern about the conditions for detainees at the Manus Island detention centre and asks Mr Morrison to “provide an update on the improvements” there since he said “justified” improvements would be made.

The petition also called on the Australian government to urgently respond in full to all recommendations by Amnesty International in its This Is Breaking People report.

Australian Stock Exchange-listed Transfield Services receives $61 million per month to run the Manus Island detention centre, which holds about 1300 asylum seekers.

Mr Hunt, while in opposition in June 2012, said in parliament that the Manus Island detention centre should be “operated under Australian circumstances, with Australian cooperation, with Australian standards, and [protected] human rights conditions.”

The federal government has said “strong border protection policies” had “saved lives at sea” and anyone who is found to be a refugee while detained in PNG will be resettled in that country, not Australia.

Amnesty International’s annual report on human rights in PNG society in general last year stated: “the [PNG] government did little to address high rates of violence against women” and “police accountability remained a serious concern”.

COMMENT

By David Harrison AS Gilbert and Sullivan put it in The Pirates of Penzance, the lot of a high-profile public official “is not a happy one”. The lot of policemen in that delightful comic opera is shared by chief executive officers, both in business and in local government.

Dr Michael Kennedy’s lot has largely been a very happy one in his 15 or so years as CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire. Councillors appointed him in 1999 and he has since been reappointed four times – sometimes amid controversy.

Councillors – the “board of directors” who employ the CEO – must decide by mid-August whether to reappoint Dr Kennedy once more or to throw open his job by advertising it. Dr Kennedy could apply for a further term and may well be the best candidate.

At the age of 61, Dr Kennedy would likely be happy to get one last term in the $340,000 ($6500 a week) job, to enhance a golden retirement.

But opponents are gathering to stop that occurring. Many, including former councillor and retired state MP Robin Cooper, question Dr Kennedy’s recent performance and that of his organisation and say it is time to go to the market for a new CEO, with a view to re-energising the shire.

They point to a series of shire actions and reactions that indicate new vigour is needed.

Among the incidents raised are:  Rapidly rising shire rates;  Ever-rising shire debt;  The hasty and ill-explained purchase of Wannaeue Place land as a possible site for the Rosebud pool complex;  The shire’s accusation of bias against the Victorian Electoral Commissioner over introducing the shire’s multi-member ward structure;  The abandonment of the shire’s waste

‘One of Dr Kennedy’s skills has been to retain strong relations with a majority of councillors’ management policy after the Pioneer quarry was rejected as a tip site.

It is being argued that the brutal world of senior management requires the shire to test the market for talent. The Jeff Kennett-created local government structure is corporate, with councillors acting as a board of directors to whom the CEO is answerable.

Fifteen years is an extraordinarily long stretch for a CEO, in either private or public enterprise.

The median CEO tenure is less than five years, according to a study by consulting firm Strategy& (formerly Booz & Co).

“Boards may now be inclined to appoint new CEOs [who are] more likely to bring fresh insights, different industry experience or even prior experience as a CEO to the role,” according to partner Varya Davidson, commenting on the 2012 ‘Australian CEO Succession Study’.

While the study focused on private enterprise, its broad principles apply across the corporate entity spectrum.

A 2013 Harvard Business Review article found that “when new executives are getting up to speed, they seek information in diverse ways”, from both external and internal sources.

“This deepens their relationships with customers [ratepayers] and employees alike,” it said.

“But as CEOs accumulate knowledge and become entrenched, they rely more on their internal networks for information ... Their

attachment to the status quo makes them less responsive to vacillating consumer [ratepayer] preferences.”

Boards – in the shire’s case, its councillors – “should be aware that long-tenured CEOs may be skilled at employee relations but less adept at responding to the marketplace; these leaders may be great motivators but weak strategists, unifying workers around a failing course of action, for example.”

One of Dr Kennedy’s skills has been to retain strong relations with a majority of councillors – a slender but sufficient number to maintain an efficient working strategy. This is a classic “divide and conquer” or “divide and rule” tactic, practised by emperors and magnates since the days of Philip of Macedon.

It is a powerful factor operating in Dr Kennedy’s favour. He has generally had support from six of the shire’s 11 councillors over his tenure. The six are led by David Gibb and Anne Shaw, the shire’s two veteran councillors.

But reliance on this support has drawbacks.

In the period leading to a councillor decision on whether to reappoint or to invite candidates for the CEO’s job, Dr Kennedy becomes somewhat of a “lame duck”, dependent on this group’s continuing support.

His recent sudden departure for a fortnight’s overseas holiday, now extended by a week, was not formally discussed with all councillors.

This may indicate that Dr Kennedy will not seek another term as CEO or is confident he has the numbers to be reappointed.

To advertise or reappoint? Cr Celi told a questioner at a recent council meeting that councillors had not yet decided what course to take.

Until they do, councillors and the community, including opponents of reappointment – and perhaps Dr Kennedy himself – await their decision on the CEO.

P-plater injures elderly driver

Police to clamp down on hoons

By Chris Brennan A 64-year-old woman from Mt Eliza was taken to hospital by ambulance after being cut free from the wreckage of her Mercedes Benz sedan following a crash in Baxter last week.

The woman was waiting at traffic lights at the corner of Sages Rd and the Moorooduc Highway about 4.45pm on Wednesday when her car was struck in the side by a Toyota Land Cruiser driven by a 19-year-old P-plater.

Police said the accident occurred when the Land Cruiser travelling north along the highway lost control after skidding in wet conditions as the driver attempted to brake at the traffic lights.

“The lights had just changed to red and driver of the 4WD vehicle had braked but skidded and slid across the road into the sedan, which was stopped on Sages Rd at a red light,” police said.

SES emergency crews were forced to cut out the driver’s side door to free the woman, who was the only occupant of the car. Her husband had been following in vehicle directly behind.

She was taken to Frankston Hospital in a stable condition with non-life threatening injuries.

The driver, who also lives on the Mornington Peninsula may face charges of careless driving.

The accident comes as a new study reveals young drivers are more likely than other age groups to think the biggest road safety concerns for P-plate drivers are outside of their car, not in it.

Slater & Gordon motor vehicle accident lawyer Genevieve Henderson said the firm’s research of 2000 Australians showed young people (aged

POLICE are clamping down on hoons under a new pilot program that will see the vehicles of offending drivers immobilised at their own homes instead of being impounded.

Under the program, which will be trialled over the next six months, Victoria Police will be able to issue orders for vehicles to be immobilised at a private address.

The immobilisation will be carried out by a third party provider within 10 days of the offence.

Highway patrol officers who detect offences such as excessive speeding, repeat drink driving or disqualified driving, will be able to apply to have a vehicle immobilised using wheel clamps or steering locks.

If police decide that immobilisation is unsuitable, then the vehicle will be impounded, as is the current practice.

Victoria Police Road policing commander Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said the pilot was being undertaken to determine if immobilisation was a viable, effective and sustainable alternative to impoundment.

He said Victoria Police had always had the power to immobilise a vehicle under the Road Safety Act 1986, however recent legislative changes made it possible to outsource immobilisation to contractors.

“Victoria Police impounded around 4600 vehicles last year and we are projecting a similar number of impounds this year,” he said. “We believe immobilisation will reduce our vehicle storage costs, but more importantly, it will alleviate officers having to wait around for tow trucks and get them back on the road.”

16 to 24 years) were less likely to identify factors inside the car as safety hazards for a probationary driver.

“What our findings suggest is that young people may be lacking selfawareness about their own actions behind the wheel, with many of them believing that driving dangers are external to them and that other motorists are to blame,” she said.

Internal factors included talking on a phone while driving, which 25 per cent of young people ranked this as the biggest danger facing P-platers compared to 40 per cent of all ages, their own speeding (22 per cent versus 29 per

cent) and distracting passengers (14 per cent versus 17 per cent).

Younger people also tended to underestimate the dangers to P-platers of drug driving and texting while driving, Ms Henderson said.

“These results show that young people are still grappling with emerging issues like mobile phone use and driving while drugged and that our relevant road safety campaign messages or even the risks of penalties are yet to sink in,” she said.

Ms Henderson said younger respondents tended to think many of the biggest risks to P-platers were outside

the car, such as hoon drivers, other motorists driving dangerously, and being a victim of road rage.

“The sad fact is that Australia’s young drivers are over-represented in serious road crash statistics. They make up just 14 per cent of all licence holders, but are involved in about 25 per cent of serious incidents.”

However, the study showed young people were far more concerned than other age groups about the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol.

“This could be proof that our younger generations are heeding long running warnings around drink driving.”

It’s all happening at emu plains market

PENINSULA HAPPENINGS

DNK VISIONS RESTAURANT CLOSED ANZAC DAY

ONE of the region’s coolest and most popular outdoor attractions, the Emu Plains Market is a celebration of the Peninsula’s unique culture, creative artisans and diverse producers.

Beneath the sun dappled gumtree canopy, local traders once again transform this bush setting into a snaking trail of colourful market stalls welcoming people to the carnival atmosphere of Emu Plains with an offer of local wares, food and fresh produce.

Here, stylish young hipsters, teenagers and families mingle and delight in natural organic foods, interesting bric-a-brac and eclectic handmade gifts. It’s all about discovery: whether it’s yummy hot snacks, stunning local wines, innovative woodwork, glassware, ceramics or a gorgeous piece of fanciful jewellery that never requires an excuse to accessorise.

Throughout the market are stalls laden with crafts from all over the Peninsula; art, handmade jewellery, bespoke furniture, quilts, designer fashion and hats alongside an eclectic mix of local wineries, distillers, bottled drink stalls and other brightly coloured carts.

“People love to find special gifts or just simply graze their way through this vibrant seaside setting” says market organiser, Vanessa Johnson. “The stallholders offer an abundance of farm-fresh produce; you’ll find so many popular foods, organic coffee, fine oils, artesian

bread, fruit & vegies, olives, jam, ice-cream and fabulous flowers. There’s also free entertainment from resident musicians The Whisky Gypsy’s and great hot food carts offering tasty treats from all over the world including German, Turkish, Mexican, Dutch, and Spanish just to name a few!

There is also plenty for the kids to discover including pony rides, face painting, jumping castles and a great park all situated beneath the sprawling glade of ancient stringy-barks.

The Emu Plains Market also proudly supports the community by offering free space & support to local not-for-profit groups including Mummies and Babies in Need, The CFA, Balnarring CWA, Sea Shepard, The Cancer Council of Australia and Art Red Hill just to name a few.

They also donate car parking money to help support Westernport Rotary and the Emu Plains Reserve. In the future, they hope to start up an emerging artist fund to support local emerging artists.

Whatever you love you’ll enjoy the sights, sounds, flavours, action and colour of the Peninsula’s best outdoor market.

This will be the final Emu Plains Market of the season. The EPM will re open on October 18 2014 for their third season. To celebrate the Easter Saturday market there will be a free egg hunt from 12pm.

Saturday 19th April 9am to 2pm

The Paleo Diet Over the last few years the Paleo (Paleolithic) Diet has become increasingly popular amongst people who not only want to lose weight, but also those who are concerned about the vast amount of chemicals and additives that are found in the foods that are available today – and want to eliminate them from their diets.

Basically, a Paleo diet is eating the same types of foods as they did back in the caveman era, such as fruits, vegetables, seafood, nuts, seeds, meat, poultry and eggs. This diet is high in protein which is essential for burning fat and building lean muscle. And instead of fibre being obtained from whole grains, it is found in a whole variety of different fruits and vegetables.

Many modern health issues start from the foods that we eat and a Paleo diet can have some benefits when it comes to our health. It is simply eating good quality, healthy foods and staying clear of the unhealthy Western diet that is so prolific today.

Polly waffle hits the drawing board

By Neil Walker SOME might say Australian politics has become farcical in recent years, with many voters disillusioned at the vapid adversarial posturing of politicians hell-bent on gaining power for power’s sake, without any conviction of what to do once they get into government.

But the personal nature of much of what passes for political debate has been a boon for one group of interested observers – political cartoonists.

Satirical looks at politicians from all parties have never been more popular, often summing up serious news events better than thousands of words can.

Social media users now regularly pass on the best of these cartoons to thousands of others who may not have seen the political sketches in its original publication.

Russ Radcliffe has been gathering the best political cartoons of the year to be compiled into the Best Australian Political Cartoons book, which has been published by Scribe Publications since 2004. He will visit the Mornington Peninsula later this month to discuss the latest edition.

An exhibition of the best political cartoons from 2013, selected by Radcliffe, entitled Suppositories of Wisdom, is being hosted at Antipodes Gallery & Bookshop in Sorrento until Saturday 3 May. Radcliffe will give a talk on political cartooning and the events of last year on Saturday 19 April at the Sorrento bookshop.

Drawing the truth out: Editor Russ Radcliffe, compiler of the annual Best Australian Political Cartoons book, with a caricature of Prime Minister Tony Abbott. Picture: Yanni

The title of the exhibition is a reference to Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s gaffe last year on the election campaign trail when he declared that no one politician could be “the suppository of all wisdom”.

Radcliffe said he sees political cartoons as “an alternative and subversive pictorial history” that shed a light on political decisions and events.

“The best political cartoons have a really good idea for a joke at a

powerful person’s expense at its core, and sum up yet also provide comment on a contemporary issue,” he said.

“It’s a very powerful means of making people think about something important in a new way.”

The exhibition and book features work by many of Australia’s most renowned cartoonists such as the Sydney Morning Herald’s Alan Moir, The Australian newspaper’s Bill Leak and Jon Kudelka, The Age’s Matt Golding and Judy Horacek.

Radcliffe is based in Richmond and had the idea to exhibit political cartoons at Antipodes Gallery & Bookshop since he is a regular customer there when he visits his mother who lives in Rye. “It’s a fantastic bookshop and it has a great gallery space,” he said.

When asked to nominate his personal favourites, Radcliffe said he loves the work of The Australian Financial Review’s David Crowe whose “anarchic and highly-detailed images” are “absolutely wonderful”.

“His work isn’t seen by a huge circulation since the AFR is aimed at the business circles niche so it’s good to give his work another outlet for publication,” Radcliffe said.

He also nominated Alan Moir and The Age’s John Spooner as cartoonists he is always keen to see their take on political events.

His favourite sketch of last year was the Sun-Herald’s Cathy Wilcox’s Walkley Award-winning effort lampooning the return of prime minister Kevin Rudd to Kirribilli House and ordering a cleaner to remove all traces of his predecessor, Julia Gillard.

“It depicted Rudd as a ‘details freak’ obsessed with erasing any remnant of Gillard’s time at the helm after she was instrumental in disposing him from the prime ministership in the first instance,” Radcliffe said.

“Sometimes, I don’t agree with the Walkleys judges’ choice but last year I thought they got it spot on.”

Radcliffe said former Crikey cartoonist First Dog on the Moon

(also known as Andrew Marlton), had “a new style” that initially seems “childish” but is “completely original and never boring”. He said First Dog’s comic strip approach to political cartoons allowed him to expand on themes unlike other cartoonists who can be restricted by the genre’s one-panel format.

First Dog on the Moon, also a Walkley Award winner, was recently poached from Crikey by The Guardian newspaper’s Australian website.

Radcliffe spent a decade at Scribe Publications as commissioning editor before heading out on his own to found his own publishing house, High Horse.

He continues to compile the Best Australian Political Cartoons each year for Scribe.

“High Horse publishes non-fiction travel books, political books, history and crime novels,” he said. “I’m always on the look out for good and original Australian writing talent”.

The Best Australian Political Cartoons 2013 book is available to buy at all good bookstores.

Cartoonists are paid royalties from the book’s sales and Radcliffe said it is a great way to own a record of the past year’s political events for future reference.

Russ Radcliffe will give a talk on political cartooning at the Suppositories of Wisdom exhibition at Antipodes Gallery & Bookshop, 138 Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento on Saturday 18 April at 2pm.

SES volunteer at centre of MH370 search

By Chris Brennan CHELSEA SES volunteer Richard Jenner, right, last week found himself at the centre of the biggest news story in the world after joining the official international search for missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.

Not only did the Parkdale dad take to the skies to scour the Indian Ocean off the Western Australian coast as part of an Australian Maritime Safety Authority-coordinated search team, but his efforts were also reported in a full-page story in one of China’s biggest-selling newspapers, the Beijing Mirror.

Mr Jenner, 42, said it had been a “real privilege” to have been selected to take part in such an important mission and that he had been happy to share the experiences of his work as a volunteer in

the search effort with the Chinese newspaper.

But the father of two said he was disappointed his team had not been able to locate anything that might have helped solve the mystery and end the nightmare for the families of the 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board the missing Boeing 777 jetliner.

Malaysian Airlines lost touch with Flight 370 on March 8 and there has been no sign of the plane or the 239 people on board since. Internationally coordinated efforts to locate the aircraft have narrowed the search zone to a vast tract of ocean about 2500 kilometres southwest of Perth.

“We would have loved to have been able to find something out there to help provide answers for those poor families but unfortunately we didn’t,” he told The News.

“It’s a big wide open patch of deep blue sea out there, 2500 kilometres off the West Australian coast, so it’s a difficult mission. But it was a real privilege to be given the opportunity to do something to help.

Mr Jenner said he had been selected

for the mission due to his training as an Australian Maritime Safety Authority air observer through the SES. “I was lucky enough to be selected for an AMSA training program so now I’m one of 25 people within Victoria available to conduct aerial searches,” he said.

“This was my first operational callout, so it was an exciting opportunity. You get very short notice; you get the call and have to be ready to go pretty much straight away.

He said the search effort had involved a team of eight AMSA-trained volunteers methodically scouring an allocated section of the ocean from an aeroplane for any visual clues.

“We didn’t get any special insight into what may or may not have happened, we just had to utilise the skills we’d been

taught and do the job we were assigned to the best of our ability.”

Chelsea SES spokesman Phil Wall said Mr Jenner’s special mission showed just how diverse the demands on the unit could be and how wide the range of skills volunteers possessed were.

Mr Wall said. Mr Wall said the Beijing Mirror had been especially interested in the role of the volunteer organisation in the international search mission and the deep sympathy Australians such as Mr Jenner had felt for the families of the missing passengers, most of whom were Chinese nationals.

“Especially with Richard being a father, he felt a real connection with the families and the pain they must be going through not knowing what had happened.”

Give foot and leg pain the boot IF you have foot and leg pain or injuries you can feel confident knowing that expert help is just around the corner.

Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading Podiatry practices focussed on assisting pain, injuries and degenerative issues, have successfully treated some of the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Athletes and thousands of people just like you.

Podiatrist Dr. David Kavanagh, who heads Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza and Rye says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see many people with painful conditions who have suffered unnecessarily. Thanks to the latest medical research and treatments, most foot and leg pain can be treated relatively easily and effectively. We can even assist soft tissue regeneration and heal injuries thanks to new injection therapies, which are natural and safe.â&#x20AC;?

Dr. Kavanagh advises getting a second opinion if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told any of the following relating to your foot and leg pain: 1.You require surgery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With the latest advances in medical research and treatments surgery can be avoided in many cases.

2.You require cortisone injections or anti-inflammatory medications â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such treatments have now been proven to have many negative side effects including damaging tissue and delaying healing. There are more effective, natural alternatives.

3.There is nothing that can be done for you.

There is nearly always something that can be done to assist. Just because one person doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to assist, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean there is nothing that can be done.

Dr. Kavanagh explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Health and healing is not a one size fits all approach, to achieve successful, long term outcomes for patients practitioners need to; take the time to find and address

the cause of concerns and not just treat the symptoms; take a holistic approach to healing as one issue can set off a chain reaction in the body and keep up-to-date with the very latest medical research and treatments.

In order to prescribe the very best treatment option for each individual, nutritional and lifestyle factors and requirements also need to be addressed, as well as overall health and injury concerns.â&#x20AC;?

OBITUARY

Devoted mother, wife and grandmother Norma Ruth Freemantle 6th June 1920 - 23rd March 2014

MRS Norma Freemantle (nee Ham), who was a resident of Hastings for 24 years until 2010, has passed away at Craigcare Nursing Home, Mt Martha at the age of 94.

Norma and her husband David moved to Hastings in the mid-1980s where David worked for Hastings Shire Parks and Gardens. They both loved the Western Port and peninsula area, and were active and committed members of their local community.

Norma and David were long-term members of the Hastings Uniting Church and the Western Port Lions Club, and in later years, also members of the Bowling and Probus Clubs of Hastings.

Norma spent her childhood years in the Rochester area of Victoria, where her father farmed sheep, cattle, wheat and citrus. She grew up in a loving home with her brother Gordon and a menagerie of farmyard pets, including the horse she and her brother rode to school and their clever sheepdog ‘Bingo’.

Norma followed Gordon into the Army in August 1942, serving as Corporal in Melbourne and Bendigo for three-and-a-half years. She then worked in the book industry in Melbourne, including at Margarita Webber’s bookstore, before meeting and marrying David in 1960 at Deepdene Church, Melbourne, near where both families then lived.

Their only child Rosemary was born two years later and spent the first year of life on a large wheat and sheep farm near Yarrawonga (north east Victoria) where David was working.

They subsequently moved to Colac in the Western District and then Wodonga in north east Victoria, where Norma worked at Fletcher Jones, and David in agriculture and horticulture.

After a short period in Yandina, Queensland, Norma and David returned to Victoria, living briefly in Clyde before moving to Victoria St and finally, McCallum St in Hastings.

With so many relocations up her sleeve, Norma was a skilled and busy home-maker. Her homes were adorned with several of her own paintings of her beloved Australian countryside. She was a clever seamstress and knitter, making clothes for her daughter and herself for many years until arthritis made the task too difficult.

No family Christmas was complete without her Christmas cakes and puddings. Visitors to her Hastings home were always welcomed with biscuits and slices to accompany the pot of tea.

David’s garden generated a constant supply of fruit and vegetables for jams, marmalades and preserves, as well as cut flowers including their beloved roses, dahlias and daphne.

Norma had a great love of music and books which she passed on to her daughter and also to her nephew and nieces.

She was always immaculately turned out, and had a great love of clothes, shoes and hats. She highly valued the skills of the Hastings hairdressers and dressmakers, and was a loyal customer locally for many years.

Norma and David were a devoted couple and their loving and supportive marriage lasted 53 years.

She was very proud of her daughter Rosemary, who lives in the UK, and her treasured grandchild, Jean. She and David visited the UK three times and especially loved the Fife coast in Scotland, which has family links to her son-in-law Peter.

Norma had a large extended family in Australia and cherished those family occasions when everyone could get together.

Her funeral at Hastings Uniting Church was attended by many members of her family and friends. The church was filled with flowers and the church ladies provided a magnificent afternoon tea of home-baked treats. Norma was piped from the church, carried by six of her beloved nephews and relatives, a fitting tribute to a spirited, gracious and ever-optimistic lady. She will be sadly missed but happily remembered by all who knew her.

By Victor Jeremiah Hastings Football Club historian IT has been proven and well documented at many time during the past 100 odd years that the Hastings Football Club is one of the oldest and proudest clubs in the overall history of MPFL– MPNFL football.

Having played in 31 grand finals for 21 premierships they can also justifiably claim to be the most successful club since the initial formation of Mornington Peninsula football.

The triple premiership years of 1946, ‘47, ‘48 and 1975, ‘76, ‘77 are well remembered by many Hastings sporting folk, who can recall the tremendous overall effort and commitment required to win three successive premierships.

However it has not only been on the football field that Hastings has at times proven to be a vastly superior and dominant force. The Hastings Senior Basketball Club girls, who competed in the Mornington Peninsula Women’s Basketball Association in the mid 1950s and early 1960s, also enjoyed a remarkable period of success.

During this approximate decade they won triple successive “A” Grade premierships in 1953, ‘54, and ‘55 and again in 1960, ‘61 and ‘62.

Many of these talented and attractive young ladies who represented the basketball club 50 to 60 years ago, are still local residents today, with some having become well know citizens of the Western Port area.

Basketball followers of this era will recall that

games were played on the asphalt car parking area immediately between the Hastings Jetty (Pelican Park) and the Hastings Yacht Club.

Because of the close proximity of Western Port Bay, there were odd occasions when at high tide the basketball would have to be retrieved from the water to allow the game to continue.

This minor inconvenience was no longer a problem when in later years the courts location was moved to an area adjacent to the foreshore side of the Hastings Public Hall.

In approximately 1970 the girls were again moved to new surroundings, this time becoming joint partners of the Hastings Tennis Club.

This venue was to be their headquarters until 1996 when unfortunately they were forced to go into recess.

After a 13-year break from netball participation the Hastings girls again formed a club in 2009 and for the past four years have been joint partners of the current day Hastings Football and Netball Club, playing home games at the Hastings Primary School courts.

The year has seen the current day Hastings Netball Club girls competing for the first time on their newly established courts at the local Thomas Barclay Oval.

Within the local sporting fraternity there is currently a deep feeling of anticipation and a buzz of excitement with all true supporters of the Hastings Football and Netball Clubs quietly confident of what will hopefully prove to be a most rewarding and successful season for all.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Tyabb cool stores to open next week, archbishop to open new church Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 18 April 1914 THE official opening of the local cool stores will take place on Tuesday next, 21st inst. The opening ceremony will be performed by the Hon., The Minister of Agriculture (Mr W. Hutchison) at 11 a.m. Several other speakers are expected to be present, including Mr C. French, Government superintending engineer. Invitations have been extended to the majority of district residents, and a good attendance is anticipated. *** THE new Church is now nearing completion, and will be ready for the opening ceremony on 26th inst. The Archbishop of Melbourne will be in attendance on that day, and the event is being much looked forward to. *** REV. and Mrs Jackson, of Frankston, are at present enjoying a holiday at Donald. *** MR Harold Dial is at present undergoing an enforced holiday at Frankston, as the result of a broken rib, sustained by a fall in the engine room of his boat. *** A PLEASING function took place at Schultz’s Pier Hotel on Wednesday evening last, the occasion being wishing good-bye to SeniorConstable McCallum, who has been recently transferred from Frankston to Geelong. Mr H. Gamble occupied the chair, and spoke in highly complimentary terms of their guest, both as a police officer and a private citizen, and during his stay of 18

months in the district he had gained the respect and esteem of all. He had much pleasure in presenting Mr McCallum with a travelling bag and rug as a small memento of his stay in Frankston, and hoped that his family and himself would continue to enjoy good health and prosperity wherever they are stationed. The remarks of the chairman were heartily endorsed by all present, and “For he’s a jolly good fellow” was sung most lustily.

Mr McCallum feelingly responded, and thanked them most sincerely for the kind remarks made about Mrs McCallum and himself, and also for their handsome presents. While doing his duty as a police officer conscientiously he always tried to do it in the least objectionable manner, and in the majority of cases he always found it best. His stay in Frankston had been a pleasant one, and he hoped when he had leisure to again visit them and renew old acquaintances. After an enjoyable hour had been spent the proceedings terminated with mutual good wishes and hearty hand shakes. *** THE hall at Seaford was crowded on Saturday evening last for the concert given by Mr J. H. Hopkins, in aid of the funds of the Church of England, and the financial results were more than satisfactory. A varied and interesting programme was very enthusiastically received. Mr J. H. Hopkins recited “My Lady’s Leap,” “The Vicar’s Presentation” and “How we played Julius Caesar” besides giving three or four encores. Mrs J. H. Hopkins gave “If we only knew” and “Mrs Bateson’s tea party,” also two child impersonations “The Goblins,”

and “The Missionary,” the latter being an encore. Songs were rendered

Mr Harold Dial is at present undergoing an enforced holiday at Frankston, as the result of a broken rib, sustatined by a fall in the engine room of his boat.

by the Missis Grose and L. Morgan, and Messrs L. R. and P. W. Hopkins.

A humorous trio “Three Old Black Crows “ and a humorous sketch “The Mug,” were well received. *** AN attempt is being made to form a football club here this season. Surely it is not impossible, although the efforts put forward this last couple of years have failed. There is no doubt that there are enough young players living here, if they were all to join the club.

*** IT is with regret we record the death of an old and highly respected resident of Mornington, in the person of Mr Ernest William Schleeba, which took place at his late residence Queen street, Mornington, on Sunday last in his 69th year. The cause of death was dropsy of the heart. The late Mr Schleeba was born in Germany, and came to Australia 48 years ago and was a resident of Mornington for 31 years. In 1887 he took up his residence Frankston, and afterwards removed to the “Briars” at Osborne, and was in the employ of Mr Henry Miller for eleven years. He also was coach driving for Mr Tom Pope for several years and after Mr Pope retired from business he took out a carriers licence, and ran between Mornington and Frankston until the railway opened at Mornington.

He continued his line of business at Mornington until four years ago, when he was laid up with his first illness, and he has been almost an invalid ever since. He leaves a widow and six sons and two daughters for whom the greatest sympathy is felt. The funeral which took place on Tuesday afternoon was largely attended. The Rev. Mr Sandiford and the Rev. Mr Butler spoke very feelingly at the grave. The remains wore interred in the Moorooduc Cemetery. The mortuary arrangements were in the hands of Mr Summerland, of Mornington. *** THE weather during the Easter holidays was cold and windy. Except for occasional showers the rain still continues to hold off. Visitors to Dromana per the Ozone, on Good

Friday, had a most unpleasant voyage. The boat had great difficulty in getting in to the pier. After several attempts the captain was successful, and was greeted with cheers by the admiring crowd assembled. *** £50 HAS been allotted to the Dromana Hall from the Government grant to free libraries for building purposes: The Rev E. Rodda was tendered a farewell social in the hall on Saturday evening last. There was a large number present, including representatives from all denominations. Dr Weld occupied the chair. Songs and recitations were contributed by Miss Kidgell, and Messrs Rankine and Weber. The chairman, on behalf of the residents of Dromana, presented Mr Rodda with a purse of sovereigns, and Miss Katie Townsend, on behalf of the teachers and scholars of St Mark’s Sunday School, presented him with a framed picture. Mr R. Cairns spoke on behalf of the congregation at Rosebud, and Mr Weber expressed regret at the departure of Mr Rodda, on behalf of the Presbyterian Church Mr Rodda, in responding, spoke of the kind hospitality he had received from the members of the congregation during the 11 years he had been their minister. He expressed regret at leaving the district, but as he had arrived at the retiring age and was not in good health, he felt need of a rest.

He would always visit his old friends when opportunity offered, and hoped the church would prosper under their new minister, who was a younger man. A coffee supper was served by the ladies, and all joined in singing “Auld Lang Syne.”

Make some String Easter Eggs A fun Easter craft for kids is to have them make string Easter eggs. Buy some balloons and blow them up, then cut out about 30 pieces of string to be 15 centimetres (or the width of the balloon). Dip the pieces of string in glue and wrap them around the balloon individually. You should have a balloon covered in string from all different directions. You will then place the balloon on some non stick paper and allow it to dry for several hours. After the glue is dried, pop the balloon and you have yourself a colorful Easter egg.

A farewell to five weeklies

By Stuart McCullough IT’S over. After twenty years of membership, my local video store has shut up shop. I can now remove the card from my wallet, as it’s clear I will never be able to use it again. Stripped of its signage, the shop now sits as an empty shell, denuded of new releases and weeklies. For years, maddening hoards flocked to the local video store but it’s gone the way of the Blacksmith. Friday nights will never be the same again.

I have lived in the same area – off and on – for twenty years. Joining the local video store used to be one of the first things you did when you arrived in a new suburb. Having received your bill for having the phone put on, you used it along with your license to become a member. Not that being admitted into such an exclusive realm was something that could be assumed – it required a slack-jawed youngster who delighted in dressing like a homeless person to deem you to be of good character. As if they were qualified. In terms of intensive screening, it was second only to trying to get into a nightclub in Frankston. If you were lucky enough to be judged favorably, it was like being handed the keys to the kingdom.

Video stores had a long life. They survived economic downturns and disasters and even the death of video itself. Videotapes were cumbersome things, cursed by whether preceding renters failed to rewind it. At first, video was divided. You had the choice of ‘VHS’ or ‘Beta’. The latter was more compact and, so we were told, the intelligent choice embraced by the world

at large. It was only natural that we, as a nation, would choose the underdog and make VHS our own. Small sections of shelf were devoted to Betamax until they became extinct. Not that VHS had any time to rest on its laurels.

The laser disc was little short of a miracle. The size of a vinyl record, they were the choice of connoisseurs who valued quality. Like the Betamax before them, they too had their own special area within the shop for just a little while before perishing at the hands of VHS. I like to think there are still hardcore laser disc enthusiasts who, to this day, maintain that the laser disc was vastly superior to the videocassette and that a grave technological injustice has been

done. Having seen off two rivals, the videocassette should have been allowed to rest easy, at least for a little while.

But the seeds of its destruction were already sewn. The laser disc was big, clunky and temperamental. But its direct descendent, the Digital Versatile Disc (or DVD), would soon make its bid for the affection of the movie-loving public.

Like the Betamax and laserdisc before it, the DVD started out with just a few shelves in its own corner. But it was soon clear that a shift was taking place as videos evaporated. People who had dedicated their lives to taping their favourite films and carefully editing out the adverts now had crates of cassettes as meaningful as landfill. But now DVDs

are themselves redundant, having being replaced by downloadable content.

Once, downloading a movie was an act of piracy. Now they can be legally purchased without leaving your couch.

How quickly things change.

I must have made thousands of visits starting from when I was a student. Back then, those working there were a special bunch. The people behind the counter had seen pretty much every film in the store and had unshakeable opinions as to their merits or otherwise. The front counter hosted great debates about filmmaking. Indeed, many of those who worked at the video store saw themselves as filmmakers and believed that being a video clerk was an integral part of their

training instead of something staving off unemployment. Not that they were all so ambitious. Others were there because it was a job that seemingly anyone could do. For years, our local video emporium employed a guy named ‘Satan’ whose real job was playing guitar in a band whose best known song was ‘Beer Sandwich – Hold the Bread’. It was the kind of place that had room for everybody.

For two decades, I prided myself on a near faultless rental record. Only when a housemate took my card without my knowledge and rented PCU Pit Party starring Jeremy Piven was I ever late in returning a video. If this darkest of clouds has any kind of silver lining, it’s that this stain has now been expunged from my record. It’s a pity it took the closure of the store to do it. Without this black mark, I can now re-enter society and open a bank account in my own name, maybe even get a driver’s license.

It’s important to see the bright side.

By the time the store closed, the words ‘PCU Pit Party’ meant nothing to those who worked there. The kooks and weirdos had been weeded in favour of students who resembled Home and Away extras. They didn’t have strong opinions about the films you rented.

They didn’t have strong opinions about anything. Time overtook the local video store. Instead, you can now have the world at your fingertips without having to get off the couch. But where’s the fun in that? For when all’s said and done, it’s important to make the occasional effort.

Farewell, video store. And thanks. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Stonecats still the yardstick PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW proved that it is still the team to match in the Peninsula League competition on Saturday after dominating Mt Eliza at Wooralla Drive.

Despite a slow start against the breeze, the Stonecats booted 10.8 to 4.5 after quarter time to run out comfortable 30-point winners.

The Redlegs got within 21 points early in the last quarter when Damien Russo booted a goal, but the visitors steadied through the likes of Tony Lester and Craig Nankervis to enjoy a comfortable win.

Anthony ‘Bundy’ Barry was again superb for the Stonecats. He will be missed on the rare occasion that he gets called up to play VFL footy.

There’s still plenty of speculation surrounding Ash Eames and his future at the Stonecats. The talk is that he is waiting for a promotion in the police force, which is likely to take him back to the country. At this stage though he’s playing and still having an influence.

Josh Chapman, Michael Chaplin and Ricky Morris all booted two goals each for the Stonecats.

Sam Wettenhall was the most productive forward for the Redlegs with three goals while Jack Cole and Karl Lombardozzi were outstanding.

Former Melbourne-listed player John Meesan edged out Eames in the ruck, while Rohan Heasley was at his best.

Redlegs coach John Georgiou said he expected his team to take time to get up and going.

“Our list has changed a fair bit over summer. We have some great kids coming up through the juniors, we have been able to get players back to the club like Dunne, Heasley and Booth plus Lombardozzi is like a new recruit. We also picked up guys like Meesan and Whelan,” Georgiou said.

“YCW was a great test to see where we are at. It was great to get them early,” he said.

Langwarrin maintained its position on top of the Peninsula League table after a 32-point win against Pines.

Just 13 points separated the sides at half time and three quarter time before the Kangas booted five goals to two in the last to record a 10.15 (75) to 6.7 (43) win.

Jarryd Amalfi was outstanding for the winners from half back while teenager Blake Harkness was again dominant on the wing and through the middle of the ground. He lacks nothing in the ticker department.

Andrew Withers was cool in a crisis and Steve O’Brien’s penetrating left foot was one of the few exciting things to watch during a scrappy match.

Guy Hendry was brilliant for Pines and probably the best player on the ground, while Jamie Messina stayed calm despite enormous attention from the Kangas.

Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico was uninspired with the win.

“It was a pretty ordinary game of football, very scrappy,” Artico said.

“I was happy that we were able to grind our way through it but it’s certainly not the style that we want to be playing.

“We’ve got to find ways quickly of breaking the shackles if teams want to play highly contested footy.

“I know Nepean League is a lot more free-flowing and not as contested, however, I think there’s a place for both in Peninsula League,” he said.

Chelsea held off a fast finishing Seaford to win a thriller, 11.7 (73) to 10.8 (68).

Playing at Chelsea Reserve, the Seagulls led by 31 points at quarter time, 29 points at the main interval and by 31 points at the final change.

However, the Tigers booted 4.3 to just one behind in the final quarter to win by five points.

Chelsea recruits Matt Smith and Matty Baxter were outstanding for their team while former St Kilda listed player Jayden Attard was also a catalyst in the win.

Matt and Todd Gardiner were also two of the best players on the ground.

Tyson Horton, after a few years in the footy wilderness, booted three for the Tigers while James Quanchi played one of his best games for the club.

Teenager Trae Tohiariki, along with Johnathan Haidon, were among the best players for the Tigers for the second week in succession.

Mornington had to pull out all stops to get over the line against Karingal.

Karingal led the Doggies at quarter time and trailed by just six points at half time.

However, in the second half, the visitors were able to boot six goals to two to win 12.18 (90) to 8.3 (51).

It was an insipid game of football and the Doggies have a lot of work to do if they are going to challenge the top teams in the competition.

However, a highlight of the match was the work rate and class of recruit Danny Nolan through the middle of the ground, while Michael Gay is a man mountain in the ruck and will trouble the best this season.

Emilio Bitters and Aiden Speedy provided all Mornington’s run, while Warwick Miller did some good things.

There is a big whisper doing the rounds that Mornington is struggling with the points system and having to juggle players from week to week.

Karingal was much more competitive this week.

Coach Stephen Coates said it was going to take time to get the team to gel.

“The reality is that almost our entire senior 22 has changed and with this comes patience,” Coates said.

“The first thing is to become competitive and then we worry about winning games of football.

“What we have now are blokes who want to play for the Karingal Football Club. Those who don’t want to be here are no longer here.”

“We’ll continue to improve and that is all I can ask,” he said.

Michael Burke and Luke VanRaay led the way for the Bulls while Tom Wilkinson was good around the footy and Ray Lengyel had a real crack in the ruck.

Of the Noble Park connection, Coates said the recruits were all looking for more game time.

“We wanted young blokes first and foremost who wanted to be given an opportunity to play more regular senior footy. The large majority of them were in and out of the seniors at Noble.

“George Angelopolous was the most experienced of the group we got and has been excellent in the first two rounds, while Sanith Jayasinghe has been doing a job for us down back.”

Defeat adds to hoodoo blues

By Paulo Kennedy THE Princes Park hoodoo continued for the Frankston Dolphins with a gut-wrenching, after-the-siren defeat to the Blues on Saturday.

Facing a Blues team packed with Carlton talent including Brock McLean, Jeff Garlett, Jarrad Waite and Cameron Wood, the Dolphins fought grimly just to stay in the game in the first half.

Two crucial goals from Zig Alwan allowed Frankston to be within 19 points at the long break, but when the Blues booted the first two majors of the third stanza a blowout was on the cards.

Reminiscent of their last win at Visy Park - over Collingwood in 2008 - the Dolphins charged back from 32 points down with an inspired display, star on-ballers Leigh Kitchin and Shane Hockey taking over around the packs.

Forwards Khan Haretuku and Jarrad Matheson also put the team on their backs as they kicked three-apiece in a surge that left Carlton’s VFL team searching for answers.

The Dolphins kicked five of the last seven games of the third term, and then kept on coming in the final quarter.

When Mike Lourey brilliantly converted a deliberate outof-bounds free kick the Dolphins led by three points with 26 minutes gone in the final term and a boilover loomed.

But devastatingly, the Blues’ Luke Reynolds slotted through the match-winning goal after the final siren after a free kick to cruel the outstanding Frankston challenge.

The Dolphins return home on Sunday 20 April to face the Casey Scorpions at 2pm.

Hillmen catch Sorrento early NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RED HILL proved it is well and truly in the mix for a place in the top bracket after beating Sorrento on Saturday.

The Hillmen were super impressive against Somerville in their round one match and backed up the performance against last year’s Nepean league runners-up on the weekend.

The home side opened up a handy 27-point break in the second quarter before Sorrento made the most of the wind advantage in the third and booted four unanswered goals.

Despite the surge, at no stage during the match was Sorrento in front.

The Hillmen steadied in the final quarter and ran-out 12.9 (81) to 9.10 (64).

It was the first time in more than a decade that Red Hill had beaten Sorrento.

Jarryd Douglas backed up his six goals in the first match with another five against Sorrento, while Peter Dal Lago and Luke Adams dominated.

YCW recruit Blake McCormack has made a real impression in his first two matches and Nick Batemen, fresh from Frankston Dolphins, stamped his authority on the contest.

Despite being very happy with his

team’s performance, Red Hill coach Tony Blackford said “there was nothing to get over excited about.”

“There’s no doubt that we got Sorrento at the right time,” Blackford said.

“We played last week and had some match conditioning under our belts and it was Sorrento’s first game.

“A couple of their players didn’t play a single practice match and of course, there’s no Scotty Cameron or Guy Stringer, who make an enormous difference to their side.”

In saying that, Blackford didn’t want to take any credit away from his own team either.

“We have a great bunch of players who want to improve and test themselves. There’s no bigger test than against the best team in the past 10 years.

“We were challenged and we responded, which was great,” Blackford said.

“We all know though that this is a very tight competition and it’s about being able to sustain it over the full season.

“I couldn’t be happier with where we are at right now though. Beating Somerville at Somerville and Sorrento is a great start,” he said.

Rosebud didn’t take very long to get

going, despite not playing last week.

Against Hastings on Saturday, the Buds started with six opening quarter goals and were never threatened from that point on, winning 13.6 (84) to 8.14 (62).

The Blues had their chances in the third quarter but inaccuracy in from of goals (2.2 to 3.6) hurt them.

Greg Bentley was again at the top of his game for the Buds with three goals while Brenton Payne, Rhys Bancroft and Sorrento recruit Daniel Hickey dominated through the middle of the ground.

Daniel Wishart was again at his best for the Blues while Colin McVeigh and Brendan Dunne shone. Justin Berry booted two goals and was amongst his team’s best.

It was a good wake-up call for the Blues.

Frankston Bombers hung on for a great victory over Pearcedale, winning 13.15 (93) to 12.15 (87).

The Panthers led by 23 points at half time, however, the Bombers booted 7.5 to 2.0 in the third quarter with the wind to open up a two goal lead.

Jay Reynolds, fresh from being in the final 22 for Foxtel reality show The Rookie, was best on ground with three goals. He didn’t make the final cut of 12 on Friday night’s show.

Both teams traded goals in the last quarter before the Bombers booted the last of the day to hold on and win.

Duncan Proud was again outstanding for the Bombers while Mitch Bosward, who returned to his home club from Frankston Dolphins, was inspirational.

Chris Fortnam was outstanding for the Panthers while Troy Jacobson, a former Stingray who played juniors with Langwarrin and Somerville, was also very good. Ruckman Ben Mitchell finished with three goals.

Dromana suffered no premiership hangover, despite reports of an ordinary pre-season.

The Tigers booted six goals to one with the wind in the opening quarter against RYE and were never threatened thereafter.

Stuart Cleeve dominated in the ruck, Aaron Coyle enjoyed plenty of time on the ground and youngsters Jack Fowler and Aiden Musgrave took advantage of their opportunities.

Then there were the stars Christian Ongarello and Terry Wheeler (three goals) who dominated.

It was an impressive first up win for the Tigers, 13.14 (92) to 9.8 (62).

Aaron Kirkwood and Ben Holmes were Rye’s best, while Andrew Dunn and Sam Smith were good through the middle of the ground.

Crib Point made it two solid wins in as many weeks, smashing Somerville by 58 points, 15.21 (111) to 7.11 (53).

The Eagles can be thankful that the Pies kicked inaccurately, including booting 5.8 in the second quarter and 2.7 in the last.

Jake Bromley was outstanding for the Pies yet again while James Cook and Luke Herrington (three goals) influenced the outcome.

In even better news for the Pies, former Eagle Glenn Boyd and Hastings small forward Tim Churchin should both be available after ANZAC day.

As for the Eagles, Justin Farrelly and Rohan Hogenbirk can’t return quick enough.

In the final game of the round, Devon Meadows overwhelmed Tyabb as expected, winning 25.17 (167) to 11.10 (76).

The Panthers booted 13 goals in the first half and 12 in the second, its most consistent performance since coming back into Nepean League.

James Bow booted 12 goals in the win, adding to his four in round one.

Clint Setford was at his best, while Gavin Kerr and Billy Hayes were also on top of their game.

Callum Morris and Ethan Rahilly were the best of the Yabbies.

Blues go down to Buds but not without a fight HASTINGS FNC

By Phil Stone - President 1st Hastings Football/Netball Club v Rosebud Football/Netball club AS we took the trip down the highway to play Rosebud Football/Netball Club, it was clear it was going to be real test for our players against a side that narrowly missed out on playing in the 2013 grand final. We were up for challenge but unfortunately didn’t start the game the way we would have liked. They jumped us early and at quarter time we were four goals down.

But we played some wonderful team football in the second quarter to be only two goals down at half time. We came out after the break to dominate play but were unable to put the score on the board. Unfortunately, in the last quarter we worked so hard but were again unable to capitalise on the scoreboard and just fell short.

The side showed some encouraging signs and we now look forward to our Anzac Day clash against our old rivals, the Frankston Bombers.

Better players on the day were Justin Berry, Brendan Dunne, Dylan Hand, Daniel Wishart.

Reserves IT was a vital game for the reserves against Rosebud to find out where the team really is at. The first quarter started at a frantic pace and we jumped them early to be in front by a few goals at the first break. In the second quarter, things got a little out of hand and we went back to old habits and let Rosebud back in the game with a send off. At the half-time break, the boys were asked to get back on track and work extra hard, with only 17 players on the ground.

Playing with the wind, we were a bit off target, kicking three goals and eight points but we were back in control and playing great football.

At three-quarter time we were up by five goals.

The final quarter could have produced anything. With Rosebud kicking with a five-goal breeze, the boys were determined to finish off well and got the first centre break to have a goal on the board within 15 seconds. By this stage, the boys were ready to go all the way and kicked five goals into a stiff breeze to win comfortably. The reserves are playing a very good brand of football at the moment, with fast ball movement and many highlights Under 18s THE under 18 boys played at Tyabb against Devon Meadows and came out of the blocks slowly to find themselves behind eight ball.

Things improved in the second quarter as the boys started playing a better brand of footy and we came into the half time break only four goals down. In the third term, you could feel the boys were starting to get on top and the last quarter was set for a great contest. Better players were Wade Delahaye, Ryan McCluster and the Regan brothers.

Netball wrap, round three WE were hosted by Rosebud in what was set to be a competitive day of netball across all grades. Unfortunately, we didn’t come away with a win but the C, B and A girls put up a great fight and played some really tough netball. We look forward to welcoming Frankston Bombshells in our Anzac Day clash. It’s set to be a great day so get down to our new home courts and support the Blueys!  DON’T forget next round is on Anzac Day. Games start at 1pm, with the main match at 3.15. They’ll be a plane fly-over, national anthem sung, the ode, and a minute’s silence.

Anzac Day footy comes to Hastings HASTINGS Football Netball Club extends an invitation to all Hastings residents to a great afternoon of entertainment at Thomas Barclay oval at Hastings on Anzac Day. It is anticipated a large crowd will be in attendance this year to cheer on the new look Blues under new coach Brendan Dunne when they take on traditional rivals, the Frankston Bombers, in their round 3 clash.

On presentation of their membership card, RSL members will be given free access to the game.

Both football and netball will start at 1pm, with under 18s and reserves football matches being played simultaneously on boh ovals, and C grade netball will then be followed

by B grade on their brand-new netball courts.

The senior football and A grade netball matches are scheduled to begin at 3.15pm.

Highlights in the build up to the senior football and A grade netball matches will include a traditional Anzac Day ceremony conducted by RSL officials. This will involve the reading of the Anzac Day Ode, a bugler to present the Last Post, with a live singer to sing the National Anthem supplied courtesy of Dawn Shaw from the Diva Talent School.

A real highlight will be a fly-over of four antique war planes courtesy of Judy Pay from the Old Aeroplane Company at Tyabb.

The day promises to showcase a great contest of local football and netball between two original MPDL clubs who have been fierce rivals dating back to the year that both club s were first established in 1887.

Since 1908, these two clubs have met on 185 occasions for an amazing 91 wins each, with three games drawn.

In a highly successful period for

Hastings in the late 1940s, which was commonly referred to locally as the “Coleman era”, these two clubs met in three consecutive grand finals, from 1946-1948.

Hastings won all three premierships, defeating the Frankston Bombers by 21 points in 1466, 25 points in 1947 and then going on to win again in 1948 by 24 points.

Back then, the rivalry wasn’t always only about the players on the field. On one memorable occasion at Hastings in 1948, it wa reported that following a brief encounter between the two club presidents, who had a distinct dislike for each other, it was decided they should set the scene for the day and show their superiority by trading blows prior to the match even starting.

Football fans in general who attend this forthcoming historical Anzac Day clash can be assured of a most pleasurable day’s entertainment.

By Aaron Wilson Round 2 Tyabb-Hastings vs Devon Meadows ROUND two saw the under 18s play a strong Devon Meadows outfit at Tyabb Devon got off to a flying start with the wind, kicking the first five goals and the leading the quarter time break by 32 points.

So the boys had an uphill battle to claw their way back in to the match. As we had the wind in the second quarter, we kicked four goals and reduced the margin to 20 points.

The match was setup for a awesome game as both sides in the third quarter played with great skill in a display of attacking, attractive football.

Tyabb-Hastings leveled the scores half way through the last quarter, kicking three quick goals and were in the position to pull off a massive comeback against a shell-shocked Devon Meadows outfit.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case as the Devon midfielders willed their team to win and managed to kick two late goals.

Tyabb-Hastings had their chances and will feel that it was one that got away. A bitter 10 point loss, but great signs as they never gave up and nearly pulled off a magnificent comeback.

The boys will regroup and look forward to playing Frankston Bombers on Anzac Day at home at Hastings.

MOTORING Mazda3 wins 2014 Red Dot award for product design The all–new Mazda3, Mazda’s latest compact hatchback, has captured the “Red Dot Award: Product Design 2014” and the next major honour could be just around the corner.

The Mazda3 was selected as one of the top three finalists for both 2014 World Car of the Year – the automobile industry’s single biggest accolade – and 2014 World Car Design of the Year.

The Mazda3’s superb design innovation, functionality and ergonomics were among the decisive factors for the Red Dot Award’s 40-head jury of independent design experts.

As for the 2014 World Car of the Year competition, the Mazda3 is the only non-German model in either group of finalists. Rivals for the overall trophy, chosen from 24 candidates, are the Audi A3 and BMW 4 Series. The jury of design experts, meanwhile, will size up Mazda’s all-time bestseller against the BMW i3 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

After capturing more than 150 awards to date and surpassing total production of 4 million units in January, this would be the biggest success yet for the Mazda3, which was first introduced in 2003. It would also be a crowning achievement for Mazda and the unconventional direction it has taken with its new-generation models.

“The C segment makes up one-quarter of the passenger car market in Europe, which puts into perspective how special we wanted to make this car and how appealing it needs to be from the very first moment one lays eyes on it,” said Peter Birtwhistle, chief designer at Mazda’s European R&D Centre.

“The recognition we’ve been receiving not only acknowledges the Mazda3’s magnetism. It also reflects the way this car raises expectations that it is entirely capable of fulfilling.”
