Here comes the train SELDOM has a train enjoyed a warmer welcome: flags fluttered, music played, memorabilia and period costumes set the scene and a town crier urged our attention. The 10:38 from Frankston to Hastings last Wednesday marked the 125th anniversary of the Stony Point line and the opening of the Western Port region to residential and industry development.

Alarm raised over rescue services Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au MARINE rescue services across Western Port could be set for an overhaul as a result of a report tabled in state parliament this month. The Inquiry into Marine Rescue Services in Victoria report found oversight of voluntary water rescue crews is “ad hoc”, under-funded and potentially not “fit for purpose”. A committee of cross-party MPs

chaired by Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess produced the 246-page report. The report took eight months to complete. While the report stated marine services and rescue (MSAR) is “essentially ungoverned”, volunteers’ were praised for their “dedication and commitment” despite a lack of oversight and funding. The committee found Victoria’s volunteer marine search and rescue is not subject to legislative or regulatory

oversight at state level and “has been largely ignored and left to fend for itself”. Alarmingly, the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Association noted in its submission to the inquiry that: “in the absence of accreditation, ‘anybody’ can commence operating as a marine rescue organisation anywhere in Victoria, irrespective of their capability… without being subject to minimum standards for the provision of marine rescue services”. Victoria Police often act as the

real level of comfort around what their capability is, so we do not really know and we only task them on previous experience, knowing that they can do the job,” Inspector Arneil said. “We do not have any sort of process in place to accredit them or audit them to be able to say their vessels are capable of doing whatever it is and that they have got sufficient training, sufficient equipment and knowledge to be able to do the rescues.”

Inspector Mark Arneil, manager of the Water Police and Search and Rescue Squads based at Williamstown, told the committee that police do not have “total clarity” about volunteer resources. “One of the areas of concern for me at the moment is that, whilst my people coordinate all these agencies to go out and do the rescues, we have no

Changes made after prop loss and forced mudflat landing Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au AN aircraft manufacturer revised its maintenance manual after a singleengine aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing on mudflats in Western Port after losing its propeller just minutes after taking off from Tyabb airfield. An inquiry into the March 2013 incident by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau found that five of six screws securing the propeller to the aircraft’s engine had broken off. The propeller fell into the bay as the pilot was turning back towards Tyabb after he noticed that the aircraft was vibrating. A report issued by the ATSB says the propeller falling into the bay from the owner-built Jabiru J349 could have led to a serious accident. “A potentially serious accident was avoided by the pilot’s adherence to emergency procedures and maintaining control of the aircraft after a significant mechanical failure,” the report states. The Jabiru was “substantially damaged” when covered by water during the next high tide and the propeller was found by water police floating north west of French Island the following day. The ATSB said it was now satisfied by the rewriting of service documentation by Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd and referring “maintainers directly to the

Riding into the unknown FOR more than three decades, Riding for the Disabled has been bringing joy to the lives special needs families through its volunteer-run equestrian program at Balnarring. But the property the group has used since 1981 to provide groups of disabled people the liberating pleasure of riding horses in a tranquil bush setting was recently sold. The owners have kindly permitted the program to continue until the end of the year, but after that, Riding for the Disabled Peninsula will need to find a new home. Volunteer Jenny Stidston said RDA Peninsula, which is one of 37 Riding for the Disabled centres across Victoria, provided about 60 riders a week the opportunity to enjoy the “wonderful experience of sharing their lives with the 70 volunteers and 10 remarkable horses”.

“Apart from the physical benefits of being outside and sitting upright on a horse, the riders, mostly children, also get the wonderful and satisfying experience of building a relationship with a big, gentle animal who is happy to see them every week,” she said. “This gives the children a huge boost of self-confidence and selfesteem and they love the time they have riding and look forward to their regular rides with their horses.” RDA Peninsula relies on donations and fund raising to cover the costs of feeding, caring and housing its horses. The group is now looking for a new home base and has put the call out to peninsula property owners who might be able to help. Anyone able to help find a new home for RDA Peninsula should contact Jenny Stidston on 0439 896 158.

Safety precautions: Air safety investigators are satisfied that the manufacturers of this Jabiru aircraft have taken the steps to guard against propellers falling off following maintenance procedures as happened over WesternPort on 8 March 2013.

engine overhaul manual for installation procedures – removing the variability that previously existed between documents”. While stressing that its findings “should not be read as apportioning blame or liability to any particular organisation or individual” the ATSB report states that the “engine manufacturer’s documents with respect to the propeller mounting flange were technically inconsistent with regard to painting and torqueing procedures”. “Jabiru engines manufactured before July 2011 have reduced strength and reliability of the crankshaft/propeller flange joint, compared with the later design that incorporated positive location dowel pins,” the report states. The Jabiru which lost its propeller over Western Port was assembled in 2007 by its owners and was first registered on 13 November 2007.

In October 2012, the aircraft underwent periodic inspection and maintenance, including the removal of the propeller and mounting flange because of rust. The components were re-installed in accordance with the relevant service instructions, but the propeller fell off 3.7 flying hours later. A service difficulty report issued by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) from 2003 to November 2013 found no incidents of propeller loss involving Jabiru J430s. Two incidents of excessive propeller vibration were reported, but were found not to be due to failed screws. A propeller had been lost from a Jabiru J170 in September 2012 with nine separations reported overseas. The latest separation in 2013 had resulted from sudden engine seizure; the inertia of the propeller being sufficient to shear the cap screws.

THE 145-strong Tyabb Yabbies Football Netball Club can look forward to playing netball on its own courts at Bunguyan Reserve courtesy of $66,000 from the state government. Club members visited the reserve last week to hear Sport and Recreation Minister Damian Drum and Hastings MP Neale Burgess announce the funding under the Country Football Netball program. Mr Drum said the government was committed to a more active Victoria. “Through the Country Football Netball Program we’re building more sustainable, quality sport infrastructure with a focus on catering for growth in female participation.” The new courts will enable the Yabbies to host more

training and junior and senior development programs, as well as local games and finals competitions, Mr Burgess said. “With demand for netball in Tyabb going from strengthto-strength, the new competition standard courts will ensure the club won’t have to hire courts at nearby schools to cater for its growing ranks. “This will bring the football and netball teams and players closer together and it also opens up the reserve to more events, including school sports, mixed netball – the possibilities are endless.” Mornington Peninsula Shire contributed $42,000 to the project and Tyabb Football Netball Club $27,000 in cash and in-kind contributions. The RACV donated $5000.

Warm welcome for the 10.37 and 125 years of rail service Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE 10.37 train to Hastings last Wednesday carried more than passengers – it brought with it the welcome legacy of 125 years of rail travel to the town. And what a celebration it heralded. On the platform to greet it were 100 guests waving flags, some wearing period costume, as well as memorabilia from the period, marquees, primary school choir, Western Port Secondary College’s salza band, dignitaries and a town crier. Oh, and even a birthday cake. Admittedly, the function was not as grand as that which launched the opening of the service in 1889, when it was regarded as a vital link in putting Hastings ‘on the map’. Long-time station supporter Cr David Garnock spoke of the original parade through the town, with crowds reportedly carrying banners proclaiming “Advance Hastings” and “Union is Strength” and marching through the town to the station singing songs. Then, when the train arrived, the children sang the national anthem before marching to the sports ground where they raced, jumped and played football – and later a enjoyed a banquet. In the evening there was a wellattended dance at the Athenaeum. “So, you can see that, after years of persistent lobbying from the community, they were rather thrilled when the Stony Point line was completed

and Hastings finally had its own station,” Cr Garnock said. The co-chair of the Hastings Community Alliance and member of the organising committee, Brian Stahl, told the gathering: “Patience is a virtue and I won’t labour that point, although it is sufficient to say that, as the local councillor, I chaired a meeting on 10 March 2005 under the banner Hastings railway station revitalisation project, with the following objectives: To set up a stationeers’ committee; gain Mornington Peninsula Shire’s approval for the project; identify a Green Corps project for Hastings railway station, and undertake a design of the building and landscaping on site. “On 18 July 2005 we launched The Bittern Project because there already had been a Hastings Green Corps project on the foreshore initiated by Flinders MP Greg Hunt. Under the project, beautification works were carried out in the area through to High St,” Mr Stahl said. “Then, in November 2009, under the Hastings Neighbourhood Renewal Program, with the support of the Western Port Warriors Football Team, Men’s Shed, other volunteers and financial support from Hastings Bendigo Bank, we repainted the station buildings. “Since then there has been a lot of promise but nothing came to fruition until a local university student, Chris Fisher [a member of the Hastings Community Alliance] alerted us to

the fact that today was the 125th anniversary of the railway coming to Hastings. “So, as we celebrate this momentous occasion today, I appeal to those of you who may be interested in joining me in re-forming the Hastings Stationeers’ Group, to look at ways we can maintain the works which have been carried out, and pursue other measures which would make Hastings railway station a more welcoming place and, hopefully, a showcase of which we can be proud.” Mr Stahl thanked David Garnock, Neale Burgess, Diana Hildebrand, Shirley Davies, Barry Fay, Mac Henshall, Sue-Ann Lowther, Rohan Allan, Nicola Belcher, Gary Mogford, Greg and Jenny Bradshaw, Leo Degroot, Wally Rachid, Cameron McCullogh, Barry Fay, Ron Wood, Mornington Railway Preservation Society, Richard Armstrong and Len Butcher.

League moves to keep youngsters in the game Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au RAISING the top age division in junior football leagues to under 17 and moving the senior thirds from under 18s to under 19s are two of the major recommendations of a review into how best to keep younger players in the game. The review – involving junior and senior leagues – was announced in April by AFL South East to stop a reduction in the number of junior players progressing to the seniors. Recommendations adopted last week apply to the Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League, Frankston District Junior Football League, Nepean Football Netball League and Peninsula Football Netball League. Other recommendations include a joint under 16 and under 17 graded competition between the MPJFL and the FDJFL, a simplified permit system to make it easier for players to move between junior and senior leagues in a season, developing stronger junior and senior club and league relationships, simplifying age cut-offs, and providing clarity around the provision of over-age permits. Clubs on the peninsula and in Frankston have voiced concerns about their inability to retain players aged 16 to 20. “The structural changes recommended are aimed at providing a diverse range of offerings for the participant, while maintaining strong and dynamic player pathways,” the review found. “However, the recommendations and the expected outcomes by no means solve the issue of player retention, progression and relative club strength on their own.

“Structural variations are only one piece in an extensive puzzle that requires constant attention, input and review by all stakeholders.” AFL South East Region general manager Jeremy Bourke said it had been “terrific” to have five governing bodies working together on the review. “However, there is no doubt there will be differing opinions regarding the recommendations within the football community,” he said. “Some will say that they have not gone far or deep enough and others will say that they are not in the best interests of their particular club or league.” Mr Bourke said AFL South East “firmly believed” that the decisions made [in the review] were in the best interests of football in the region. “Too often, decisions in football have been made in the best interests of one party at the expense of another and without consultation or due diligence,” he said. “Throughout the process, the working party has ensured all parties were consulted and had the opportunity to contribute.” Both the Casey Cardinia Football Netball League and the South East Juniors have started under 17 competitions, but plans for two new competitions – under 17 in FDJ FL and Colts in the MPJFNL – have been vetoed by AFL Victoria Country and the PCN Sports Alliance. Mr Bourke said in April that he hoped the Frankston under 17 and Colts competitions could begin next year. Recommendations regarding the South East Juniors and Casey Cardinia FNL competitions will be released next week at the end of the response period. The review and its recommendations are on the AFL South East website: aflsoutheast.com.au

Festival honour: Neil McWhannell, John Warwick, Paul Thompson and Patrick Kelly.

Award applauds festival’s success A MAJOR award has been bestowed up a music festival that raises money to promote a relationship between pupils from vastly different schools. The Best Event prize in the Educate Plus Awards for Excellence was made to Paul Thompson for his role in developing the Between the Bays Music Festival, held annually at Penbank School. The festival is Penbank’s major annual fundraiser. Money raised goes towards the school’s partnership with the Wugularr School in Beswick, remote Northern Territory. “Our incredible friendship with the community of Beswick and its people is very important to me,” Mr Thompson said. “Helping children at Wugularr reach their full

potential is one of our school’s main priorities. I urge all residents of the peninsula to come along to Between the Bays Festival next year, knowing they are supporting a worthy cause.” As director of enrolments and development at the Moorooduc school, Mr Thompson said developing the festival over the past nine years had been an enjoyable experience and that the award highlighted the importance of community events on the Mornington Peninsula. “It was a real pat on the back, not only for me, but also for our school,” he said. “We were nominated against much larger schools with huge budgets and loads of resources. It just proves that we are a small school with very big ideas.”

Women in mosque peace talks JUST weeks before Australia announced it would send forces to the Middle East to oppose Islamic State forces, more than 200 women met at a mosque in Langwarrin to speak about peace being the common message of all religions. The interfaith lunch at the Bait-ul-Salam (House of Peace) mosque was part of a Serving Humanity symposium organised by the women’s auxiliary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria. “Each of the speakers emphasised the need for compassion and service to humanity, according to their religions and beliefs, for example Buddhist, Jewish or Islamic, either personal or faith inspired,” Aziz Bhatti, spokesperson of the Victorian Ahmadiyya community, said. “It was evident from the speeches that no religion teaches hatred or violence towards any other. The importance of such discussions and forums in today's fragile world was also stressed.” Speakers included the MP for Evelyn and speaker of the Legislative Assembly Christine Fyffe, cabinet secretary and MP for South East Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich, Narre War-

ren South MP Judith Graley, chairperson of the Buddhist Council of Victoria Peggy Page, Casey Interfaith Network’s Pamela Mamouney, Jewish Christian Muslim Association secretary and director for the Online Hate Prevention Institute Jo Silver, Buddhist documenter and university administrator Diana Cousens, and chaplain at Monash University Jay Robinson. Mr Bhatti said the idea for the conference came from a long tradition of women’s auxiliaries in the Ahmadiyya Muslim Movement, in Islam, where women are encouraged to organise their own events with their own freedoms and comforts in mind. “The Ahmadiyya women’s auxiliary of Victoria decided to hold its first interfaith symposium here nine years ago,” he said. “Over the years, this annual symposium has discussed many local and global issues and gained popularity and appreciation in the wider community. “Leading women from all walks of life such as politics, government, education, charity organisations, interfaith networks, religious groups and police are among the regular guests of the events

organised and run by our women’s auxiliary. “The events are helping to empower women to give them confidence and leadership, and encouraging them to come forward and help humanity within their own work, social circles and communities.” The Ahmadiyya Muslim community claims 100 per cent literacy among its male and female members, and says a “huge number of Ahmadi women are excelling in the fields of science, medicine, law and business”. “These platforms and conferences generate ideas, such as learning from each other, and attendees take home feelings of love, affection, sisterhood and kinship,” Mr Bhatti said. “Many misconceptions were put to rest. Ideas that are shared in the symposium and over the lunch are taken back to their extended circles with a revived commitment towards helping others in need. “More importantly, attendees appreciate Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s efforts and passion towards humanity and bringing Islam’s true teachings to life again.”

A range of activities are planned from 10am, with a welcome speech by the president of the Mornington Railway Preservation Society and the cutting of a birthday cake. The first train is due to depart at about 11am the first of four scheduled trains for the day - and an extra train will run during lunch time to join up with a scheduled train at Mornington for the return journey. This train will haul passenger and freight vehicles. There will be tours of the Moorooduc station and a look-see at historical items there, such as the signal box from Somerton and the footbridge from Fitzroy. Visitors will be able to visit the various departments, such as carriage maintenance, engineering, and the works departments to talk to the members about the challenges they face and jobs they do. The Country Women’s Association will have a stall on the platform and produce to buy. The SES will have a display in the car park. Everyone is welcome to come along and join in the festivities. The line was opened in 1889 with two stations: Mornington at the end of the line and an intermediate station at Moorooduc. Between 1930 and 1940, Racecourse Platform on Bungower Rd was opened for race goers and horse transport. It was also used by the army during the war when soldiers were stationed at the racecourse. The platform was renamed Tanti Park between 1960 and 1970. In 1966, a rail motor ran a passenger service and, during this time, two short platforms were built for community convenience: Narambi at

the west end of the Narambi Reserve and Stopping Place 16 near the Nepean Hwy. Both platforms have since been demolished. In 1981, the rail motor was found to be unfit for service and was replaced by a bus -which effectively closed the line. In 1983, the line was finally and officially closed to traffic by the Victorian Railways. Mornington Railway Preservation Society Inc was formed in 1984 to restore and operate a steam tourist railway along the original branch line from Baxter to Mornington. Soon after the society's formation, the Victorian Railways sold off the railway corridor between Nepean Hwy and Ross St. This included Mornington station and the station yard and meant that the line then terminated at the Nepean Hwy. The society chose to end the line at Yuilles Rd for practical reasons and a station was built there. The society’s first project was to restore steam locomotive K163 which was a static exhibit at Jubilee Park, Frankston. The locomotive was partly restored while in the park and then taken for more refurbishment to the Cresco Siding at the end of the Lysaght branch line at Hastings. The society set up a big depot at Cresco and acquired a number of items of rolling stock, however, Cresco was sold in1989 and the society had to find a new depot. It was offered a spur line into HMAS Cerberus and ran its depot there for seven years. It also acquired other steam and diesel locomotives and other rolling stock for restoration. Finally, after obtaining permission to operate on the Mornington line, the society moved its depot to Moorooduc. The first steam-hauled train ran from there towards Mornington on Australia Day 1998 and, later, ran all the way to Mornington in April 1999. Since arriving at Moorooduc, lots of development has taken place making the society a significant tourist attraction.

On the march

Open properties GATES will be opened this weekend to allow public access to historic Langwarrin properties Mulberry Hill and Cruden Farm. The National Trust’s Mulberry Hill is the former home of artist Sir Daryl and author Lady Joan Lindsay. Guided tours will be available of the American colonial style house. The grounds can be used for picnics and local wines, beer, cheese and coffee will be on sale. Cruden Farm, the former home of the late Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, is recognised as being one of Australia’s top gardens. Proceeds from the open weekend will go towards the upkeep of both properties. Mulberry Hill is at 385 Golf Links Rd, Langwarrin South (Melway 107/ C2) and Cruden Farm off Cranhaven Rd, Langwarrin (Melway 103/G6).

THE peninsula’s hinterland will come alive with a burst of colour and creativity this weekend as one of the shire’s more quirky tourist events kicks off. The annual Scarecrow Festival features 27 artistic interpretations of scarecrows scattered throughout the peninsula’s picturesque heartland. Visitors are invited to visit a diversity of farmyards, cellar doors, gardens and food stores as they follow the scarecrow trail, which runs across Arthurs Seat, Dromana, Red Hill, Balnarring, Flinders and Main Ridge. The free community event, now in its eighth year, is on over the September school holidays, with the opening day this Saturday, before culminating with an award ceremony for the best entries at Red Hill Market on 4 October. Vincent Wirthensohn, 11, last week took an early peak at one of this year’s artistic creations, Elizabeth Surry’s entry March of the Ants, which is on display at Arthurs Seat.

Govt inquiry raises alarm over rescue services Continued from Page 1

Water Police maintain a register of volunteer MSAR resources, but this is updated “periodically… and in accordance with information received” from volunteer coast guard groups. Inspector Arneil said Victoria Police could not comment whether any volunteer MSAR organisation is “fit for purpose”. Some submissions to the inquiry noted: “Water Police do not always task the nearest available MSAR resources and that this can increase the risks for persons involved in a marine incident”.

The committee made 43 recommendations as a result of its investigations and chief amongst the proposals was the need to establish a new governing body to manage Victoria’s MSAR volunteers, similar to the management setup at the CFA and SES. An annual audit of MSAR capabilities would be conducted each year by the governing body. Transport Safety Victoria backed the introduction of an accreditation and audit process, as did many voluntary coast guard organisations. Submissions to the inquiry noted

the Mornington and Hastings areas are both serviced by Volunteer Marine Rescue Mornington & Hastings and AVCGA flotillas. The Mornington Peninsula Marine Alliance stated: “There does not appear to be justification for the duplication of services” in Hastings and Mornington. It was claimed that “on many occasions their resources are consumed unnecessarily with redundant call outs”. There is a danger the committee’s report could languish in bureaucratic limbo thanks to the timing of

November’s state election. A previous state-wide review of the volunteer MSAR sector carried out by Ernst & Young 12 years ago, when the Bracks Labor government was in office, also recommended the establishment of a governing body. The committee stated: “Surprisingly, none of the reforms have been implemented. This situation is particularly concerning in view of the fact that the model proposed in the Ernst and Young report was aimed at minimising the possibility of an injury or a death occurring during an MSAR incident.”

ST Marks Anglican Church, Balnarring, is holding a secondhand book fair from 9am Saturday 20 September. Regular book fairs have been held by the church since being started by started by the then vicar, George Sanson, the early 1990s.

Men charged over church treasure theft DETECTIVES last week recovered about $10,000 in gold and jewellery allegedly stolen from the Red Hill Greek Orthodox Church in July. This is only a small portion of the $100,000$200,000 in valuables plundered from a smashed glass box containing an icon of the Virgin Mary, gold rings, chains, bracelets, coins and crosses. The valuables had been donated by worshippers to the Holy Monastery of Panagia Kamariani since 1983. Detective Senior Constable Brendan Fox, of Rosebud Crime Investigation Unit, said inquiries to second-hand dealers had yielded the booty and that he was hopeful more would be found. Two men were arrested following a number of warrants conducted on Friday. They were charged with burglary and theft. A 34-year-old Coldstream man and a 29-year-old Warburton man will appear in Frankston Magistratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Court at a later date. Church secretary Georgie Marinis said The Reverend Father Eleftherios Tatsis was â&#x20AC;&#x153;ecstaticâ&#x20AC;? that some of the valuables had been recovered.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of it has probably been melted down and we are to see some photos today. I am not sure what will happen.â&#x20AC;? She said the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance company had not put a definite value on the stolen property. The robbery occurred when Father Tatsis was farewelling visitors at the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front gate. The thieves are believed to have entered a side door and broken a sealed glass box to steal the items.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; loses car A 20-year-old P-plate driver had his car impounded after being caught speeding more than 60km/h over the limit in Moorooduc last week. The Mornington man was clocked at 142km/h is an 80km/h zone on Bentons Rd about 8.55pm last Tuesday. The driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence was immediately suspended and his Holden Commodore sedan impounded for 30 days under anti-hooning legislation. He is also expected to be charged on summons with a range or serious traffic offences.

Nelli signals chamber back to business Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au THE president of the Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry had eyes only for the future at its annual general meeting. David Nelli made little reference to what had been a tumultuous year dogged by controversy and plagued by problems for the body that represents Hastings traders. “I do not wish to go through what has happened over the past year, but will keep this report to the time I took over as president,” Mr Nelli said. He then went on to detail new chamber rules that were being ratified by the Department of Consumer Affairs. A discussion was followed by a vote to clarify once and for all the status and rights of different categories of chamber members. This followed the rewriting of the chamber’s constitution after “anomalies of representation” were uncovered in May. At the time, Mornington Peninsula Shire economic development manager Shane Murphy said the issue was one of “membership and structure”. “Essentially, the chamber has a membership structure outlined in their articles of association, and they haven’t been abiding by their own rules,” he said. The heart of the issue was the existence of “associate member” as a class of membership, which is not allowed under the then rules of the chamber. “This means those associate members were not eligible to vote on issues. This appears not to be too much of an issue, as there has always been a quorum of full members at the meetings,” Mr Murphy said. Mr Murphy explained that a nonmember of the chamber (the now defunct associate member) can be on the executive, but cannot vote on issues. The president of the chamber at the time, Lisa Dixon, retired soon after the governance issue was uncovered to concentrate on running her business, Dominion Hill, after two and a half years in the role of president, and seven years on the chamber committee. The News understands the governance anomaly was brought to the attention of the shire by a disgruntled chamber member. Another issue, the special charge scheme (a compulsory promotional levy charged to traders within the central trading area) is not without controversy as some struggling traders resent another charge on their businesses. The firing of then marketing man-

ager Sarah Law in December last year caused friction between some traders and the executive of the chamber and was followed in January by the alleged misuse of the chamber’s email database by a trader. That incident resulted in a series of emails between the chamber and the trader, played out in full view of all chamber members listed on the database (‘Chamber uncovers email subplot’, The News, 28/1/14). After the resignation of Ms Dixon, the chamber sought – and received – the support of life member Mr Nelli as interim president. Knowing the job at hand was to get the organisation back on a stable footing, he turned to the only other life member, Graeme Columbus, to assist in rewriting the chamber’s rules. The AGM saw the swearing in of a new committee that included a few

Vic Rodwell chamber’s third life member VIC Rodwell has been made the third Life member of the Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

He has twice been president of the chamber, treasurer once and secretary once. He is part owner of Hastings, Western Port Travel.

fresh faces, as well as the return of some previous members. The chamber’s marketing coordinator, Angie Baker, outlined the next six months of activities and programs, including expansion of the ‘Hello Hastings’ campaign, pop-up shops, business breakfasts, Archibald Kids, a major billy cart race in November, and Christmas program. Cr David Garnock handed out copies of the draft town structure plan. It is expected to shape Hastings’ development for the next 15 years. “The planners wish to work with the chamber to shape the future of Hastings as positively as possible and are asking for input,” said Cr Garnock. The last word of the night was left to Mr Nelli who called for “unity of the traders as we face an exciting time ahead for Hastings”.

The recycled pipe dream that never ceased to delight KNOWN for years as simply The Thing, Peter Barber’s amazing invention was a regular feature at rural shows throughout the Shepparton area in the mid 1980s A competition was held by the Katamatitie Lions Club at its vintage rally in 1983 to come up with a name for the contraption, which now goes by the name of the Infernal Combustion Engine. Designed and built by Mr Barber in 1982, his creation took about eight months to complete at a cost of $12.50, which was mostly spent on acquiring wheels for ease of transport. The rest all came from the household kitchen drawer and Shepparton scrapyards. Adjusted for inflation, his investment now comes in at $31, which is still great value considering how many smiles and looks of

excitement the machine received from school children in the area. After National Service, Mr Barber and his wife, Noel, became dairy farmers in the Invergordon area during the 1970s, managing about 42 hectares (103 acres). Dairy farming was not easy and in 1978, after putting himself through a university course, he started at Dookie College as an agricultural engineering lecturer. A life-long tinkerer, the first seeds for the creation of his engine were sown when Mr Barber wanted a stationary oil engine but couldn’t afford one. “I made this up out of a pipe dream.” Mr Barber was quoted as saying in 1984. “I first thought of having the points embedded in the false teeth, so I felt I had to be ridiculous the whole way.” Ridiculous? Maybe.

Ingenious? Absolutely. For not only does the combustion engine contain false teeth, a plethora of odds and ends such as rat traps, door knobs, fish hooks and cork screws are all part of the line-up and all serve a purpose. The crank shaft was recycled from a Ferguson tractor back axle and the left side fly wheel from an 1886 Eliza Tinskey vertical drill. Operational, the engine will run for about four hours on 284ml of two-stroke. The interest in recycling never waned and the Barbers recall a time when they came into possession of a large amount of fence droppers. “We would recycle the droppers into magazine racks, laundry and toy hampers and sell them at markets,” Mrs Barber said. “I would stay up for hours sewing the lining together and

as we had no money for tools I would have to sand back the droppers by hand to make them suitable for use.” Mr Barber retired in 1995 and the couple have lived in Myers Rd, Bittern, for the past 11 years. Mr Barber will be 81 in a couple of months . His memory and hearing are not as sharp as they once were and, while not as a result of this, the couple have decided to sell and move into Hastings. His beloved tool collection, amassed over 40 years, will be sold this weekend at their Bittern property. If you are lucky enough you will get a personal look at the infernal combustion engine as well. Jason Richardson Down tools: Peter Barber is ready to move on from years of tinkering.

Both bays offer options

Up close: Native orchids now popping up in reserves and gardens, include, from left, the slaty helmet (Corybas inzurvus), hyacinth (Dipodium roseum) and donkey (Diris drummondi).

Orchids spring into view NATIVE orchids are blooming in reserves and gardens throughout Frankston and the Mornington peninsula, including, Greens Bush at main Ridge, Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve and along the trail from Arthurs Seat to Bushrangers Bay. Described as being “subtle but spectacular”, some orchids are small and not brightly coloured and are often missed, even when growing on the edges of walking tracks. This also means walkers should stay on paths to avoid trampling the fragile plants. Places to look for orchids include:  Baldry’s Circuit track in Greens Bush, Mornington Peninsula National Park.  Two Bays Walking track through Arthurs Seat State Park and Greens Bush.  Bushrangers Bay track from the Cape Schanck car park.  Various walking tracks through Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve. These areas have the largest patches of remnant bushland on the peninsula. One orchid that is not so attractive is the South African Orchid or Disa bracteata which

is found in a few isolated places on the peninsula, including Greens Bush. After its accidental introduction to Western Australia in the 1940s it has spread east, invading new areas by producing large number of seeds. Unlike the dainty native species, the stout fleshy spike of this orchid grows to 35cm with up to 50 tiny brown flowers. It is regarded as a threat to the biodiversity of parks and any sightings should be reported to the local parks office. Removal is not advised as it can trigger multiple reshooting and encourages spreading. Many orchids are highly specialised and need certain conditions and soils and relationships with other plants and insects. Some trick particular species of native bees or wasps into trying to mate with their flower which looks like an insect, by releasing chemicals to attract them. Orchids are an important part of park ecosystems and should not be picked. For more information on orchids contact the local branch of the Australasian Native Orchid Society at www.anosvic.org.au

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

LETTERS Council review due Our factional Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors appear to have taken advantage of the absence of Cr David Gibb and voted to stop the Rosebud SPA (Southern Peninsula Aquatic centre), 5:4 against. Cr Graham Pittock has been convicted over a conflict of interest when previously voting against the SPA and was not allowed to vote. It was determined [by a court] that his business would benefit with no SPA. Over the past 10 years I have been questioning the competence and integrity of this council and have been frustrated by factional decisions. I believe that the council is in urgent need of review. Something I believe is unlikely to happen under the current CEO or while we have a state Liberal government. Terry O’Shea, Halls Head, Western Australia

Appalling behaviour I witnessed the most appalling behaviour at the Mornington Peninsula Council meeting on Monday 8 September. We saw Cr Hugh Fraser being verbally abused by Cr David Garnock and Cr Andrew Dixon. The two councillors in question hurled a tirade of abuse at Cr Fraser because he had the temerity to put forward a motion that was going to prevent the SPA from being situated on the Rosebud foreshore once and for all. The gallery had to point out the abuse before the mayor [Cr Antonella Cheli] decided to "chide" both those councillors. We had a mayor constantly eating while presiding over the meeting which, in my mind, was showing contempt of procedure, to her fellow councillors and the gallery. Common sense prevailed this night,

the pool will still go ahead when there is money and definite plans, not on Crown land on the foreshore but a suitable site inland where it should be. We had words like underhanded, devious and undemocratic thrown at Cr Fraser, which was rather strange, as I recall one of the abusers reneged on his commitment of protecting the foreshore from a pool once he took office. Anyone who spoke for the motion was derided in some way. In short, we saw the true colours of the pro-pool group. We had it all this night, even crocodile tears shed on behalf of the residents of Rosebud. Apparently we are going to be the poorer for the pool being built on other than the foreshore. It seemed the only democracy acceptable was the democracy of the pro-pool faction. It was a vengeful meeting of the worst kind. John Cain, McCrae

Conduct becoming Elected representatives rely on their public perceptions to get elected, so I was astonished to read of Cr Graham Pittock’s guilty finding on a conflict of interest charge (‘Pittock guilty of conflict over gym’, The News 2/9/14). Graham Pittock is as honest as the day is long and an absolute pillar of society, it is not in his DNA to put his own interests ahead of others. I met him at a meeting of Dromana State School’s 150th celebrations committee when he was mayor of the shire. No one introduced us, so he introduced himself. He had taken interest in a portfolio I had containing photos of paintings by United States illustrator, Melbourne Brindle, of the old paddleboats plying Port Phillip. Like me he was fascinated by the images and when I told him the paintings themselves were in a storeroom

in Boston, Massachusetts, he was astonished. Thanks to Graham Pittock the paintings of the Ozone, The Weeroona and Brindle’s ‘Diggers Hat on Landing’ are now in Dromana, where they belong. With approval from his council, the Weeroona painting was purchased for the regional gallery from his ward allowance. It now hangs at Dromana State School where Brindle received his entire education. He bought the Ozone painting privately, which now has pride of place in his home. Through his family, the Diggers Hat painting was purchased and now hangs at the local RSL. Graham insisted I attend the Anzac Day breakfast in 2012 to talk about the painting at its handover where I was seated at the VIP table. Whenever I bump into him in public he introduces me as “the man who discovered Melbourne Brindle”. While the acquisitions of the paintings was happening, he was proudly building his squash courts oblivious, like all of us, that this venture would one day land him in trouble. On his last day as mayor with the building only half complete, he insisted my wife and I attend the official opening by “mayoress” Prue Pittock and his mum who cut the ribbon. Like many people, Cr Pittock thinks the Rosebud foreshore is not the most suitable location for a swimming pool. If there is any hidden agenda in that concept, anything sinister, then there is a side to this bloke that has eluded me completely. Fred Wild, Rye

Time for change Growing Our Community has been arguing for the past five years that the culture within the Mornington Peninsula Council is unhealthy. There appears to be two obvious fac-

tions in the council chamber. Council decisions appear not to be made from a right or wrong perspective but, instead, voting reflects a faction’s position. In the recent past we have made formal complaints against three councillors. Two went to the token internal investigation procedure and, not surprisingly, were brushed aside. The third was not even responded to. We are heartened that the inspectorate is now treating complaints against councillors seriously and we intend to follow up. We believe that the CEO no longer has the majority of council to support him and we hope that he is replaced. We seriously suggest any replacement CEO order a serious review of the planning department. Per Carlsen, Growing Our Community, Mt Eliza

Crude oil spill Referring to Maurice Schinkel’s letter (‘Crude oil spill’, Letters, The News 9/9/14), as the Western Port region oil spill incident controller at the time mentioned I can assure you that this incident had nothing to do with shipping operations. I was present at the incident and with the EPA, under whose direction the clean-up proceeded, my part being to ensure that no oil entered the waters of Western Port to which end we were successful. It was a landside incident to the west of Cemetery Rd, Tyabb, which had nothing to do with Long Island jetty or the gas plant to the east of Cemetery Rd. Why would [Port of Hastings Development Authority CEO] Mr [Mike] Lean have to know about this 23-year-old incident which was not within his domain? Should he also know of every vehicle incident where fuel is washed into a drain that

PAGE 18

Western Port News 16 September 2014

might eventually end up in Western Port? Should he also comment on the chronic hydrocarbon inputs after rain washes the roads into the drains that make their way into Western Port or the amount of oil put on the waters by two stroke outboard engines? Captain Dick Cox, former Western Port harbour master

Obey dog laws I recently looked after my sister’s golden retriever for a few weeks. Although getting on in years, the dog insisted on being walked three or four times a day and particularly loved walking on the beach. While on our frequent walks, I was amazed at the number of dogs, mostly with an owner, running around untethered. This mostly ocurred on the foreshore and beach. On one occasion two German shepherds were running freely in the water at the beach. One of them ran 50 to 60 metres (totally ignoring calls of its owner) to confront my dog. A scuffle took place and the “attacker” was quick to retreat, tail between legs. Then the second dog decided to have a go, despite calls from its owner, snarling and hackles up. It got within a metre or so and retreated, fortunately. One of the owners apologised and I pointed out that this beach was not a leash-free area. On returning along the beach 10 or so minutes later I was astounded to see the same two dogs running around in the water. The council has set aside areas where owners can let their dogs run free. It is too late after a child or small pet has been attacked and mauled. No amount of “I didn’t think my dog would do that” will help, not to mention totally ignoring council by laws.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Battle of weeds and thistles declared Compiled by Melissa Hodge SID O’Neil and Cyril Richardson, two well known campers at Frankston have been accepted as members of the Expeditionary Forces, and they may be relied upon to give a good account of themselves when at the front. *** THE Kooyong Club Patriotic concert takes place this (Saturday) evening, in the Frankston Mechanics Hall, when the programme put on the stage will be one of the best. This, in addition to the object for which the concert is being given, should ensure a bumper house. *** A REMARKABLE storm passed over the Dookie district on Tuesday after noon, followed by a phenomenal fall of rain. At Yabba North and Youan it was heavy, over 50 points being registered in minutes. Roadways and paddocks were covered with water. The fall was most opportune. *** A VISITOR to the Expeditionary Camp on Sunday was informed by Privates Harry Corington and Bert Roberts that the pipes the boys gave them were “just the thing” and smoked “fine”. Also that the wristlet watches were a great convenience and pleasure, causing some little envy amongst their comrades who were without the useful article. *** THE Defense department announces that Dr’s Maxwell (Frankston), Somers (Mornington), and J. de B. Griffith (Somerville) have offered to give free medical attention to the wives

and children of soldiers from their districts who are accepted for active service. The medical men have been cordially thanked by the Minister. *** Battle of weeds and thistles SATURDAY, September 12th, was proclaimed ‘The Day.’ The weeds and thistles had taken up their residence at the Frankston cemetery, a number of visitors and neighbours noticing their inroads, reported to the authorities that it was time something was done to improve the existing state of affairs. The Frankston Progress Association and the Cemetery Trust declared war. The enemy had become firmly entrenched in their occupation of the best positions in the cemetery, and thinking those interested were unprepared, they increased rapidly. The Progress Association called for volunteers and recruits and a splendid muster assembled, well armed with modern implements of warfare and some very old fashioned but useful tools. The officer commanding gave orders to approach the enemy in open order, the attack to commence on Saturday afternoon. Despatches were in charge of Captain C. Gray, of the Head Quarters Frankston Staff, who went in advance of the main column. The advance party was composed of the Langwarrin division, led by Captain W. Oates, and by the time the main army of workers arrived great inroads had been made in the ranks of the weeds and thistles by

parties including Lieuts. H. Oates, S. Lawrey, Corlett, P. Murray, O. Wells and Matson. Captain T. Bailey, an old campaigner of many wars of this kind. Many vehicles had been commandeered for transport and within a few minutes of the commencement of operations the battlefield was a scene of great activity among the Allies. The Medical Corps consisting of Dr Maxwell (President of the Progress Association) and Dr S. Plowman did good work. The efforts of the water carrier and E.K. Punch for restoratives were very helpful to the thirsty combatants. (By our Special War Correspondent.) *** FRANKSTON railway station was the scene of unusual activity on Friday morning, the occasion being the departure of another batch of volunteers from this district who are anxious to join the second Expeditionary Force. The President of the Shire (Cr Oates) has been busily engaged during the last week in enrolling names, with the result that 24 volunteers answered to their names this morning at the railway station, en route for the depot in Melbourne, where they will pass under examination as to their fitness or otherwise to be passed on to the Camp at Broadmeadows, for further preliminary drill prior to their departure to the war. *** HASTINGS Annual I.O.R. Ball. The annual ball in connection with

the I.O.R. tent at Hastings was held on 4th September, when the attendance fell somewhat short of that on previous occassions, owing doubtless to other attractions being held in Somerville in the shape of the local footballer’s social which unfortunately was advertised for the same evening. Nevertheless a most enjoyable time was spent by those who attended, the arrangements being in every way complete and reflected great credit on Mr B. Harrison, the secretary of the movement. A long programme of 24 dances, with several extras was gone through to the excellent music supplied by the Westernport orchestra. The following are some of the dresses worn on the occasion : -Mrs T. Roberts, black lace over amber satin. Miss A. Campbell, shell, pink chartreuse satin, polonaise tunic of pink ninon, and recked ribbon. Mrs B. Sposito, black silk, lace bodice, with sequin trimmings. *** THE annual meeting of the Peninsula Cricket Association was held at Hastings on Wednesday evening last. Delegates were present from Tyabb, Somerville and Naval. Mr H. T. Noble (president) occupied the chair. The balance sheet showed a credit balance of £4 15s 6d. It was decided to continue the association for the coming season, and Mr Noble and Mr Hollier were elected chairman and secretary respectively. The date of next meeting was fixed for September 30th when the election

of officers etc. will take place. *** IN the place of their usual social St. Paul’s Club, Frankston, staged a three act comedy, ‘Who’s Who?’ on Saturday last at the Mechanics’. To judge from the roars of laughter which punctuated each of the many jokes and comical situations the players achieved the success they desired. The plot centres round the disguise assumed by a young man (Tom) in order to gain the consent of his father (General Stanhope) to his marriage with his father’s ward (Daisy). Tom copies his disguise from a photograph that he had picked up, with the result that he is exactly like each of twin brothers, Dick and Harry, who shortly after arrive on the scene. Daisy, Dick’s wife (Mrs Winters) and Harry’s fiance (Molly) all make some bad mistakes. But the most bewildered of all is the general himself. The third act is placed in the office of a lunatic asylum, of which Dr Wagner is superintendent. There the attendants make fearful mistakes, arresting Tom, Dick and Harry in turn. The staging of this comedy is the most ambitious effort that this club has yet made. They showed ability in the acting, which had evidently been very carefully rehearsed. The club was fortunate enough to have the help in some of the rehearsals of Mr J. O’Sullivan, who a is well-known in Frankston, and on the night he and Mr Edwards did the makeup. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, Sept 19, 1914.

Confessions of a teenage contortionist By Stuart McCullough IT snuck up on me. As far as I was concerned, I had remained much the same age for the past 20 years. But somewhere along the line, things have changed. I suppose there were signs – creaking joints, eyebrows that can only a whipper snipper can control and a face with more creases than unironed laundry; all of them clues to my advancing years. But I ignored them all. Only when the truth was staring at me in the face and holding a mirror did it truly dawn on me – I am getting on. We were attending a live music show. I call these events “gigs” but am unsure whether this terminology still resonates with the younger generation. Or, for that matter, if most of them are aware “live music” exists. For all I know, the mere use of the word gig immediately identifies me as someone from a distant age, in which terms like gig were used along with groovy, wireless and horseless carriage. As I stood in the venue, I ran into an old friend. By that, I mean he called out my name and I turned around, rather than some kind of low-speed incident in the car park requiring the exchange of insurance details. We chatted, as old friends do, and watched while the support band did its best to win over an audience that was, at best, distracted or, worse, yet to arrive. The band was playing earnest indie folk rock and it was the kind of music my friend and I could relate to as, once upon a time, we had played some earnest indie folk rock of our own.

It brought back memories – not all of them good. As I recall, when writing an indie folk rock song, your job is to summon as much raw emotion and pain as possible. In retrospect, the pain was mostly that of the listener, as I wailed my heartfelt ditties like a spanked cat. If I was to summarise my song writing efforts of the era, I’d probably go with “attempted profundity”. In 20 years, not much has changed

in the indie folk rock scene. Much like professional wrestlers, today’s songwriters are still very much attempting to “bring the pain”. But as excruciating as it was, it was made even more awkward by the efforts of the band to be noticed. Rather than by means of fascinating song-craft and undeniable melodies, the band members engaged in shameless “rock shaping”. Rock shapes are the movements you make with your body while weighed

down or otherwise inhibited by your instrument. It’s not dancing, as such, but it does represent an attempt to display the rhythm of the song by way of body movement. The prime culprit in the band we were watching was the bass player. Perhaps he was a retired jazz ballet student or a former mime artist. Whatever the case, he did everything short of strap fireworks to his ears to stand out. Contorting his body, it was as if he had earlier swallowed a key and was now trying to work the object through his system. It would not have surprised me if, at the end of the set, he had produced a metal object, held it aloft and waited expectantly for the crowd to applaud his efforts. George Harrison may well have had an album called All Things Must Pass, but the bass player had taken this far too literally. My friend and I shook our heads as this young musician made a complete tool – probably a chrome vanadium steel 16-inch spanner – of himself. But in the midst of our merriment, it struck me. In fact, much like a chrome vanadium steel 16-inch spanner, the realisation came on me with great force. Here was I, with my friend, talking about how different things were in our day. The words “in our day” rang in my ears like a blast of feedback from a stage monitor. I could ignore the state of my eyebrows, the hair in my ears, the pain in my joints and the fact that school children have started offering me their seats on public transport – it was a single conversation of the “back in our day” variety that finally caused

the penny to drop. The fact of it being a penny rather than decimal currency only made things worse. My misery was compounded by the fact that I knew, deep down, that I had once been just like that bass player. I, too, had once writhed around in front of a paying audience as though I was locked in mortal battle with my digestive system. My humiliation was compounded by the fact that I wasn’t a bass player but, rather, stuck behind the keyboards. There is, I feel, nothing in this world quite as sad as a keyboard player who craves attention. Certain instruments lend themselves to throwing rock shapes. Guitarists have it easy. Singers can get away with murder. Bass players run the risk of having people accuse them of wanting to be a guitarist. Keyboard players, however, must suffer the indignity of being accused of being a keyboard player. It is a charge from which there is no escape. For all my efforts, audiences remained immune to my charms and I quietly retired. It’s time to accept that I’m getting on. Rather than make fun of young men who appear to be in the grip of a savage tape-worm attack, given my age the responsible thing to do is to walk up, put an understanding hand on the shoulder and say “No”. I only wish that someone had done that much for me. Getting older is not so bad, even if my best rock shapes are now behind me. It can only be a good thing. www.stuartmccullough.com

Magpies storm home to crush Demons NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt CRIB Point staged one of the great finals comebacks against Rye in the Nepean League Preliminary Final on Saturday to advance to the 2014 Grand Final. Down by 29 points at three quarter time, Crib Point booted seven goals to two in a blistering final term to get-up by the smallest of margins, 15.15 (105) to 15.14 (104). Rye dominated the majority of the match up until three quarter time, but had no answers to the fast finishing Magpies in the final term. Knowing he needed to roll the dice in the final quarter, Crib Point coach Duane Annable pulled off a couple of moves that really did win the match. His big four goal kicking weapons are Glenn Boyd (three goals), Luke Herrington, Jon Flack (five goals) and Brad Davidson (three goals). Rarely do all of them play in the forward line at the one time. However, in the last quarter, Annable loaded up his team’s front half and the result was an avalanche of goals. All four of them contributed on the scoreboard in the final quarter. In fact, Davidson, as he so often does, snapped a goal from the boundary with 90 seconds left on the clock to put the Pies in front for the first time since early in the first quarter. Whilst Annable loaded his forward line, it was important that he got the footy down to them in the first place.

To achieve this, he put Waide Symes and Dean Warry in the middle with Brad Arnold and Sam Austin. The domination of the clearances Crib Point’s way in the final quarter was staggering and it put Rye’s defence under enormous pressure. The comeback was even more impressive given the fact that star ruckman James Cook went down early in the first quarter with a knee injury. He came back onto the field and looked only 70 per cent but he gave his all for the team in the short spells that he spent in there. Young key defender Zac Dekluever was forced to do the majority of the ruckwork for the Magpies when Cook went down. He did a sensational job competing against Rye skipper Rhett Sutton in the centre bounces and was more than competitive around the ground. To be truthful, the Magpies were lucky to be within five goals at three quarter time. Make no mistake, other than kicking the first two goals of the game, the Magpies were smashed from that point on until the final change. But what Crib Point was able to do was kick goals against the tide and just stay in the contest. This was largely due to the efforts of Flack, who was clearly the best player on the ground. Sam Austin’s work through the middle of the ground was also superb, as was Symes’, while Dean Kairies provided enormous run and drive from

half back. He was able to run and carry the footy, a lot like Warry, which always kept the Rye defence under pressure. Up until three quarter time, Ryan and Luke Semmel (three goals) were dominating through the middle and around the ground for the Demons, while Ben Holmes (five goals) was looking ominous in attack. Andrew Dean was also on song up forward, finishing with three goals and Sutton and Ben Cain were combining well around the ground. In defence, Leigh Morse was in total control and putting his body on the line on countless occasions. However, the Demons had no answers in the final quarter. In fact, they ran out of steam. Rye players began to cramp, especially Ryan Semmel, who ran himself into the ground, while others appeared to be running on the spot. The Demons didn’t do themselves any favours either. Despite the constant surges forward from the Magpies, at no stage did Rye get numbers behind the footy to try and clog things up. The Demons also tried to go toe to toe with the Pies, rather than slowing things down, playing tempo footy and keeping the pill out of the hands of the rampaging opposition. Rye forward Brady Egan had a chance to win the game with just seconds left on the clock in the final term but kicking against the breeze, he couldn’t quite get the journey, nor the accuracy, from 50 metres out. Andrew

Dean also missed one from 20 metres which could have snuffed out the Pies. Crib Point has made a reputation for itself this season that no matter what position it is in, it will keep playing the game out to the final siren. The only game when the Pies put the cue in the rack this season was against Red Hill at Red Hill, when they rested players after half time. The success of any team comes from the fact that they get a contribution from everyone. While the stars shone when they need to, it was the likes of Zac Condick, Jake Bromley and Beau Monty who really stepped up to the plate when they needed to for the Magpies. Crib Point coach Duane Annable couldn’t have been happier with his team’s ability to keep fighting, keep themselves in the contest and then storm home the way they did. However, he found it hard to believe his club was in a Grand Final. “It’s all a bit surreal to be honest,” Annable said on Sunday morning before recovery. “It was a big effort from the boys and I’m just so happy for everyone involved in the Crib Point Football Club. “A lot of people have put in a lot of hard work and it’s just reward for them that we were able to get here. “From a playing and coaching point of view though, the job is far from done. “We certainly celebrated the win on the final siren and sang the song pretty hard in the rooms but the minute we

finished the song, it was back down to business again. “The team went straight to the beach after the match and there was no celebrating on Saturday night. It was then to recovery at the beach again on Sunday morning.” Annable said his message was pretty simply at three quarter time. “I just reminded the players of our fitness and our ability to come back when we are behind. We did it against Somerville through the year when we were a long way behind,” Annable said. “I knew Rye would blow up at some point. They had a very tough road to get as far as they did and they had one less day to prepare than us. As it turned out, they were pretty flat in the last quarter. “I also knew that we needed to go all out attack. It wasn’t going to take five or 10 minutes to turn around. We needed to press for the entire quarter to get the result. “Loading the forward line and getting some clearances out of the middle was the key. We made the moves on the bench, however it was up to the individuals to deliver – and they did.” Annable said he was more than ‘hopeful’ that James Cook would lineup in the Grand Final against Sorrento this Saturday. “We are confident that there is no structural damage to James’ knee. We’ll just assess him through the week but I would expect him to be available.

League’s handling of finals slammed By Toe Punt DROMANA coach Doug Koop has criticised league decision makers for their handling of the final series. Koop, an experienced and heralded coach at Frankston YCW in Peninsula League, Cranbourne in Casey Cardinia and now Dromana in Nepean League, wrote a scathing letter to league operations general manager Ian Benson following his side’s loss to Rye in the Qualifying Final. Whilst Koop understandably didn’t want his letter to be made public knowledge in its entirety, he was happy to share his views on the “absolutely disgraceful’ decision to hold a final against Rye at their home ground. Whilst at Cranbourne, Koop’s team was forced to play Berwick at Berwick in a second semi final two seasons ago and Beaconsfield at Beaconsfield last season in a Preliminary Final. Koop believes that the decision to hold finals against a team at their home grounds gave an unfair advantage to that team. No-one disagrees with Koop on this matter. “It surely can’t be that difficult to understand that clubs who qualify for finals want two things from the league, to play on the best grounds and have no home ground advantages for any finalists,” Koop wrote. “The stubbornness and lack of

PAGE 42

communication is downright disrespectful to clubs that have worked very hard during the season and won the right to play off in finals. “The standard and quality of our local game has developed so rapidly in the last few years, yet we are expected to play on substandard surfaces that put our players at risk. “The best games (finals) need to be played on the best grounds,” Koop said. Rye Football Club coach, Ben Holmes, skipper Rhett Sutton and club legend Scott Beel forced the league’s hand and had last Saturday’s Preliminary Final changed from Somerville to Hastings. After viewing the surface, Sutton and Holmes informed Beel of the condition of the ground and asked for the league to change it. However, they were told by league officials that the ground was fit for play. It wasn’t until Holmes, Sutton and Beel drove to Somerville and insisted that the league meet them at the ground and walk over it, that the location was changed. Beel and club president Mick O’Rourke left numerous messages and emails with league chief Jeff Jones to contact them about the situation throughout the week. On Saturday, they still had not received a reply.

Doggies maul sinking Sharks PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt MORNINGTON booted 11 goals to three after half time to run all over the top of Bonbeach in the Peninsula League Preliminary Final on Sunday. The Doggies will play Frankston YCW in the Grand Final this Sunday at Frankston Park after winning their third straight final, 14.11 (95) to 12.7 (79). Mornington had to work hard to turn the game around though. The Dogs looked shot at half time, trailing by 39 points after being completely blown away by the Sharks. The Bonbeach half back line, led by Gary Carpenter and Paul Rebeschini, was dominating for Bonbeach, Shane McDonald was left one out on too many occasions and had five goals at the major interval and Matty Batten was completely shutting down the dangerous Jackson Calder. Brad Sykes was a welcome addition to the team, along with James Norton and Dylan Jones, while Rob Horler was also brought into the line-up. Other than Anthony Raso, the Sharks were at full strength. Shaun Foster was presenting well across half forward for the Sharks and making a nuisance of himself and Jackson Casey was dominating through the middle of the ground. Many pundits in the crowd were claiming that the game would be over at

Heading for grand final: Crib Point players were relieved to beat Rye by just 1 point and make it to the Nepean League Grand Final. Picture: Andrew Hurst

the 10-minute mark of the third quarter, such was Bonbeach’s dominance. It certainly looked that way, that’s for sure. However, there was one legend of the game and a Bonbeach follower who claimed that if Mornington could get back to within three goals at three quarter time, they would run all over the top of the Sharks. One thing was for certain, if Mornington didn’t change things up at half time, the result of the contest was obvious.

Mornington coach Stuart Seager and his brains trust need to be commended. They swung the changes, put some heavier bodies in the middle of the ground, dragged Calder up the ground to give them a midfield tall target and stuck Michael Williams inside attacking 50. The result was immediate. Man mountain ruckman Michael Gay, who was winning the tap outs already, started to be rewarded with his own midfielders winning the footy in the middle. This gave the Dogs quick access

inside 50 and for the first time in the match, rushed Bonbeach’s defence and put them under enormous pressure. Williams booted two goals himself and set-up another in the space of 10 minutes and within a blink of an eye, the Doggies were just a goal down. Chris Paxino and Warwick Miller started to take control of the game for the Dogs and Ben Clements and Stuart Seagar (two goals) started to look dangerous. Adam Symes started to get the better of McDonald too, while Chris Baker was backing himself in the back half and Barry Smeeton and Danny Nolan were exerting their influence on the game around the contests. The underrated Paul Dadds and Ryan Smith, as well as Tommy Simpson, were also continuing the good work they displayed in the first half. The result was an amazing turnaround. In fact, the Dogs booted seven goals to one for the quarter to trail by just three points at three quarter time. Shane McDonald’s sixth and final goal put the Sharks back in front just before the three quarter time siren. In amazing circumstances, despite the wind favouring the Kars St end of Frankston Park in the first three quarters, the direction changed in the last quarter and shifted in favour of the Port Phillip Bay end. Luck was on the Dogs’ side and they responded in kind. The last quarter was

all Mornington, booting 4.7 to two goals in the final 28 minutes. Jackson Calder booted two last quarter goals and highlighted his maturity and never say die attitude. After the game, Seager said it was a “great win”. “It was a real credit to the boys to stand up in that second half,” Seager said. Seager needs to take a lot of credit himself – the moves that were made to turn the game around were match winning. The third quarter onslaught was the third time in as many weeks that Mornington has blown away sides in the third quarter – they did it against Langwarrin, Edithvale and Bonbeach on Sunday. Certainly, the Dogs would want to be a lot closer than 39 points at half time this weekend against Frankston YCW in the Grand Final. The Doggies have been wonderful this season and are a worthy combatant to tackle YCW this weekend. Bonbeach will now turn its attention to finding another coach after Steve Capp resigned more than a month ago. At this stage, other than former Melbourne midfielder (and former Mt Eliza coach) Paul Hopgood and Hawthorn premiership player Brent Guerra, they have not interviewed any other candidates. The search will begin in earnest this week.

Goosey gone, clubs start coaches search FOOTY NEWS

Goosey no longer a Dolphin

By Toe Punt

Coaching coup for Bombers Langwarrin midfielder and former Hawthorn first round draft pick Beau Muston will coach Frankston Bombers next season. Muston booted almost 40 goals for the Kangas this season, however, is looking for greater opportunity to coach. It appears that former Hawthorn and Port Adelaide player and Frankston Bombers’ premiership player Nathan Lonie has lured Muston to the club. Nathan Lonie is believed to be keen to have a chairman of selectors role and run the bench for Muston. There is no suggestion that Nathan Lonie will play. It also believed that Ryan Lonie is not at all interested in a return to Bomberland in any capacity.

It appears Simon Goosey has coached his last game for Frankston Dolphins. The new board asked Goosey, who has coached the Dolphins for the past six years, to reapply for his position, after the previous board gave him the nod for 2015. It is believed Goosey is not prepared to reapply. The Mornington premiership coach and the league’s greatest ever goal kicker has been interviewed at St Kilda for a development position, while it is also understood that there is a big offer on the table in Perth with a WAFL Club. We also hear that Mornington is keen to get ‘Goose’ back to the club after Stuart Seagar resigned due to work commitments.

Dolphins fall out

There has been a fall out at Dolphins

as a result of Simon Goosey effectively being given the chop from the new board. Goosey’s assistant Pat Swayne is said to be considering the vacant Pines job, while star players Scott Simpson and Michael Lourey are considering a return to Mt Eliza.

Coaching movements

The coaching merry-go-round continues with many clubs still looking for coaches. Rye is the newest club looking for a coach after Ben Holmes retired. Although Holmes has retired from Rye, there are at least six clubs looking at his services as a player for next season. After a stellar second half to the 2014 season, Holmes is a long way from finished as a player. Former Hastings’ coach Glenn Michie is back and looking for a role in local footy next season. ‘Mouse’

coached the Blues to a one-point loss to Sorrento in the Nepean League Grand Final. This season he coached his home club Newborough. After winning the second semi-final against Mirboo North by 90 points, his team was beaten by a point in the Grand Final by the same team. He has already been interviewed by Pearcedale and will be interviewed by Devon Meadows this week. Mornington is also keen to have a chat with him. At Mornington, it is believed that former Rye and Pines coach Steve Ryan and former Edithvale coach Troy Shannon are of interest. Ryan is still the preferred candidate for Devon Meadows and would be a wonderful fit at that club. Player movements There is no doubt that this is silly season and players are already looking elsewhere.

It is understood that Frankston YCW has offered Dromana premiership player Christian Ongarello a spot on their list next season. ‘Onga’ lives in Elwood. The likelihood is that he may retire from the game, which would be premature after making the Nepean Team of the Year. Langwarrin will welcome back three top liners next season in Jayden Grose, Shane Patterson and Gerard ‘Boofa’ Brown. Meanwhile, former Dromana premiership player and new Langwarrin midfielder, Liam Hogan, won the club’s best and fairest. There was a lot of talk coming out of Hastings last week about player unrest. There was even talk that the coach was approached and told that if certain players were not asked to leave, there could be a mass walk-out. According to a club legend, the talk has no substance or truth to it.

Crib Point into Grand Final after late comeback win CRIB POINT FNC By Jared Newton CRIB Point put their fans through another nailbiter with a one point victory over Rye in the Nepean Preliminary Final to win their way to their first Grand Final in 13 years. The Magpies looked just about shot with a 29-point deficit at three quarter time on the back of a poor third quarter. At the final change coach Duane Annable instructed the troops to roll the dice, forget about all tags and matchups, bring Dean Warry into the middle and isolate John Flack up forward and the move paid dividends as the Pies piled on seven last quarter goals to pinch the game in the dying minutes. The game started well for Crib Point through goals to Davidson and Flack as they jumped out to an early 14-point lead. Rye steadied midway through the opener to kick five of the next six goals to take a lead into the first break. Annable was scathing and had every reason to be with the clearance count against the Pies 11-4 and Ryan Semmel running riot. The Pies steadied in the second but were looking shaky at the main break despite a one point lead. The third quarter turned into a bit of a debacle with the Demons cutting off just about every Magpie attack and punishing Crib on the scoreboard to take a 29 point lead. The Pies looked slow, stagnant and flat footed. Annable’s decision to throw the game around a bit paid immediate dividends quickly with successive goals. Despite the ascension of the Pies, the Demons managed a couple of steadiers to keep

the Pies at bay. When Boyd clunked a grab on the goal line to bring it under two kicks the belief and confidence kicked back in and the Pies finished with goals to Austin and Davidson kicked a blinder from the boundary to pinch the lead with two minutes on the clock. When the Pies found themselves a point up when the siren went, pandemonium broke out as the team of mates and locals realised they’d won their way to their first Grand Final after 10 years of finals wilderness. For the Pies, Flack was brilliant with another bag of five. Dean Warry provided plenty of drive from half back and then from the middle in the last. Dean Kairies was brilliant across half back too and stood up when some of his team mates went quiet in the third. Sam Austin also showed plenty of poise and class in the last quarter and was a big factor in the Pies win. Other goal kickers for the Pies included Boyd and Davidson with three each to compliment Flack’s bag. Crib Point now find themselves in a Grand Final against the class team of the competition for the last seven years, Sorrento. The game will shape as a real David vs Goliath battle and to win the Pies will need to find a four goal improvement on their effort against the Sharks in the second semi-final. The town of Crib Point will be abuzz all week and before the game there’s some selection headaches for Annable as he will need every minute of the week to work out the best balance for Saturday. To win Crib Point need to believe and harness the nervous energy they’ll feel all week in a positive way to win their tenth premiership. There’s no doubt they’re good enough to do it.

Grand Finalists: Crib Point was relieved to post a 1-point win over Rye in the Nepean League Preliminary Final and will now face Sorrento in the Grand Final. Pictures: Andrew Hurst
