Farewell to devoted dad Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au HUNDREDS of mourners bid farewell to senior Frankston SES and CFA member Peter Doutch at a funeral service at the Peninsula Aero Club at Tyabb last week following his death in an ultralight aircraft crash on 27 April. The service, which was held in the club rooms at 1pm on 10 June, was attended by about 400 family members, friends and colleagues, including his five-year-old daughter Emily, who was critically injured in the crash. Dozens of SES and CFA personnel formed a guard of honour along the airstrip to pay tribute to the dedicated father of two, who had devoted more than 24 year of his life to serving the community as a volunteer. Aero club members performed a “missing man” flyover following the service as Mr Doutch’s coffin passed through the guard of honour en route to Bunurong Memorial Park, where a private cremation service was held. Friends said it was as miraculous as it was heart breaking that Emily was

now strong enough to leave hospital for the day to attend the service to say a final goodbye to her father, with whom she was inseparable. She had been flying with her father in the microlight aircraft on the fateful Sunday afternoon when it crashed into the roof of a house in Seaview Rd, Tyabb. Mr Doutch was pronounced dead at the scene, while Emily was rescued from the wreckage and flown to The Alfred hospital in with multiple injuries, including critical head and neck injuries, and breaks to her legs, pelvis and collar bone. She was in an induced coma for nine days. While still facing a long road to recovery, doctors and family members have described her steady recovery as “amazing”, praising her bravery, strength of spirit, and bubbly personality. Mother Susan Doutch said her husband would have been proud of the strength of character shown by both his daughter and son in the wake of the tragedy. Continued Page 8

Young people bear brunt of ‘jobs crisis’ Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au THE number of Mornington Peninsula residents looking for work continues to grow, with latest unemployment figures showing the region’s unemployment rate is well above the national average, especially among young people. Official statistics show the unemployment rate for the combined Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region has risen to 7.26 per cent compared to the national rate of 5.8 per cent. And the situation for young people is even worse, with 21.3 per cent of 1519 year olds out of work and 12.8 per cent of youths aged under 24 actively looking for a job. The release of the latest figures follows the federal government’s unveiling of tough new conditions for social security benefits, especially for young people, who face having their payments cut off every of six month. The Frankston and peninsula region was also announced as one of 18 “high-unemployment areas� around Australia to spearhead a trial of Coa-

lition government’s revitalised “work for the dole program�. From 1 July, registered job seekers aged between 18 and 30 in the Frankston and peninsula region who have been unemployed for twelve months or more will be required to perform around 15 hours a week of unpaid work over a sixmonth period to be eligible to receive unemployment benefits. The controversial program will be rolled out to the rest of the country 12 months later, when weekly requirements will increase to 25 hours unpaid work a week. The state opposition last week slammed the Napthine and Abbott governments over the declining job market and cuts to education and youth services budgets. Shadow Minister for Youth Affairs Martin Foley, who recently joined Labor candidate for Frankston Helen Constas at a “youth crisis� round table at Frankston Library to discuss issues affecting young people, said thousands of peninsula young people were at risk of being cut off from mainstream society.

Nelli back for second stint in chamber hot seat Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au HASTINGS real estate agent David Nelli has been appointed the interim president of the Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry after the resignation of Lisa Dixon last month. It is familiar territory for Mr Nelli, who served as chamber president for seven years between 2004 and 2011. He is also one of just two life members of the chamber, along with retired Hastings retailer Graham Columbus. “The committee approached me and asked me if I was interested in being president. I thought it was a great opportunity and wanted to be part of it,” Mr Nelli said. “The chamber means a lot to me. I wouldn’t let them down.” He was quick to pay homage to the work of the outgoing president Ms Dixon, and to talk about the bright prospects for Hastings. “Lisa has done a fantastic job, and I look forward to building a new era. “I think the port is very important. They have just put on 40 new contractors in their newly completed building. That is 40 new people in town who will be doing their shopping here, buying their lunch and coffees here. “It is an exciting time. The port has now been earmarked as a major project, which is sensational. It means that, despite which government is in power, the project will move ahead.” Mr Nelli was also keen to see the progression of another project that has been long-stalled. “We really need to get the Otama submarine ashore,” he said. “It has

huge potential, and has been languishing in Western Port Bay for too long.” He also pointed to the recent installation of CCTV cameras in Hastings as the beginning of a new era for the town. “Hastings is a great place to shop, and a very safe place to shop.” Asked what he intends for his upcoming tenure as president he said: “It is time to get back to business. This

will be a new era of unity in the chamber. We want to unite the town.” Mr Nelli’s arrival as president of the chamber comes after a tumultuous six months, with the chamber dogged by problems and controversy. Most recently, the chamber called an extraordinary meeting after “anomalies of representation” were revealed. The issue revolved around the exist-

ence of a class of membership referred to as an “associate member”, a category not allowed under the rules of the chamber. That meant associate members were not eligible to vote on issues. The problem was exacerbated by the fact that a number of those on the executive committee were “associate members”, and therefore not permitted to vote on issues. The issue was brought to the attention of the chamber by the shire, which had received a complaint. Later that day, chamber president Lisa Dixon resigned to concentrate on her own business, the Dominion Hill Gifts and Western Port Tourism and Visitor Information Centre on Marine Pde in Hastings. “It was after much deliberation and realisation just how much work I was doing for the Chamber of Commerce that I needed to reprioritise my commitments,” Ms Dixon wrote in her letter of resignation. “I have been dedicated in delivering my dream for Hastings, being one of recognition for our township, encouraging business to aspire in better presentation and service, work toward a safer, happier community and environment, one which we can all take great pride in.” Ms Dixon was instrumental in getting the current ‘special charge scheme’ across the line, along with the previous promotions coordinator, Sarah Law, who was fired by the chamber in December last year (‘Chamber accused’, The News, 3/12/13). 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 Ms Law caused friction between some traders and the executive of the chamber and was followed in January by a controversy over 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). In recent months, the chamber has employed a new marketing and promotions coordinator, Angie Baker, and has pursued a renewed program to promote Hastings. In recent weeks, the chamber has been granted $38,000 to establish “pop-up shops”. “The state government has pitched in $38,000 through the Department of Employment to get the project up and running. There are now six ‘micro businesses’ at six locations along High St and its surrounds, mostly with an arts-based focus,” Ms Baker said. It is second time lucky for the chamber, after they secured the grant in 2013, only to return it to the government as the project was not able to be established in enough time to spend the money. “Hastings is a great town,” said Mr Nelli. “Shop owners and resident alike should stay tuned, as we have some exciting initiatives that will make it an even better and more vibrant place to live and work.”

‘He had every opportunity not to kill my husband, but he stood over him, helpless on the floor, and stabbed him to death’ –Bridget O’Toole

Bridget O’Toole breaks silence over horror day Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au IT is nearly a year since 64-year-old Dermot O’Toole was killed in his jewellery store on High St, Hastings. As sentencing approaches for the man who has pleaded guilty to Mr O’Toole’s murder, his widow Bridget O’Toole has broken her silence about the events of that horrific day on 12 July, the profound effect it has had on her family, and her views on the justice system that allowed it to happen. At midday last Sunday, the lounge room of her home was filled with reporters and television cameramen, as Bridget sat – supported by her three adult sons – to make her first public statement about her traumatic experience and the heroism of her husband who tried to protect her from harm. It is the story of a man so dedicated

to the wife he loved that he laid down his life for her. But it is also the story of a woman left behind, devastated and heartbroken. “I cannot sleep at night with the terror. I just relive the terror over and over,� Mrs O’Toole said. Mrs O’Toole recounted the Friday evening her husband was murdered. “He [the armed robber] made no demands. He just started stabbing me. Of course, I screamed and Dermot, hearing me, ran in.� “On seeing Dermot, the man threw me across the shop into a glass cabinet, shattering it. “Almost immediately, he knocked Dermot to the ground.� At that stage, both Bridget and Dermot were on the ground. The only person standing was the robber, armed with a knife. “It was at this point that he stood

over my husband, lying helpless on the floor, and stabbed him to death�. After he stabbed Dermot, the robber grabbed a pad of “inexpensive� rings and made for the door. “He stopped at the door and looked back at me,� Mrs O’Toole said. “He then came back to me, grabbed the necklace I had on, and tore it off.� “Dermot said to me ‘call an ambulance, I’ve been stabbed’. These were his final words to me.� Mrs O’Toole has recovered from her physical injuries, but believes she will never recover from the mental scars. “It is impossible to ever recover. It haunts me every day.� She lives like a prisoner in her own home. Frightened to leave. Scared that she will be attacked again. “My boys have suffered terribly. I am terrified of being attacked again. If I ever go out, I come back in and

search every inch of the house to make sure there is nobody lying in wait.� Mrs O’Toole has been told by an assigned psychologist she is suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder. “I look at photos of my husband to try and remember what he looked like before that day, because the only image I can ever see in my head, the one I can never get out, is my husband lying dead on the floor of our shop.� Mrs O’Toole attacked the parole system that had allowed their attacker back out into society. “He was out on parole. I just can’t help to think that Dermot would still be alive today if that man wasn’t out on parole, and that devastates me.� One factor that particularly haunts her is how premeditated the crime was. She remembers the armed robber visited the shop earlier the same day

as a customer and his chilling actions that were only discovered later by police when they watched footage from the shop’s closed circuit television cameras. “He came in with his girlfriend and her little baby. He brought some jewellery in to get valued. He wanted to know if the diamonds in the jewellery were real or not. “While he was in the shop he had his hands on the counter as he looked at items. At one stage, he said ‘look, I’ve left fingermarks all over your cabinets’, and put his hand up his jumper and wiped them off. “I never thought a thing of it, and even said to him ‘don’t worry, I clean that glass 20 times a day’. “The thing that I missed, the thing that tells volumes about what this man intended to do was that when he left the shop, he opened the door, let his

Senseless crime: The robbery left Dermot O’Toole dead and Bridget O’Toole injured. She was taken by ambulance, left, to Frankston Hospital where she underwent surgery for a slashed arm.

girlfriend go through, and then put his hand once again up his jumper and wiped his fingerprints off the door. If only I had seen that, maybe I would have known...” “He was very calculating.” The identity of the 27-year-old man who has pleaded guilty to murdering Dermot O’Toole has been supressed, due to charges over other offences still before the court. The O’Tooles talked at length about the way their family has been changed by the murder. “It used to be a house full of noise and laughter. He was a very boisterous and happy man,” Mrs O’Toole said. “We used to laugh and joke so much. We worked together for so many years and it was such a joy.”

“He was a kind and humble man. He would stand in that shop and talk for hours to people. They were just people who were lonely, or who had problems and needed someone to talk to. That person was Dermot.” “He’d listen to people’s problems for hours on end, even though he had problems of his own. He’d had a stroke, and was suffering from Parkinson’s disease.” Now it is a house filled with silence and sadness. “Mum has coped as well as could be expected,” son Christian said. “But when mum is home, the house is very quiet.” There have been some bright moments. One was the birth of a grandson just four weeks after Dermot’s murder.

“It was a joyous but difficult occasion. He has my dad’s laugh!” son Dale said. More recently, the O’Tooles have been attending the numerous court appearances of the offender, seeking justice for Dermot. As for the man who has now pleaded guilty to the crime, Mrs O’Toole is clear about her feelings towards him. “This is a man who I consider evil. He gave me no chance. He came into the shop like a deranged animal, screaming.” Asked what it feels like to see the man who killed her husband in court she said: “He just stares us down. He came into court and locked his gaze on me and kept staring.” “I think that, in his mind, he blames

us for him now being in prison. There certainly is no remorse there. Just anger that he has been caught.” With the sentencing hearing coming up, Mrs O’Toole is keen to see justice done. “What I see as justice, I cannot say. What I will say is that I have to have faith that the judge will give an appropriate sentence.” Mrs O’Toole was keen to pass on her thanks to the Hastings community for their support, and also to the landlord of the Jewel Shed’s building. “I cannot speak highly enough of that man. We were only new tenants in that building and we had never even met our new landlord. From the moment of Dermot’s murder, that man has never accepted a cent from me.”

As for the town, she speaks of pride about how the community surrounded her and her family, and how they honoured her husband. “The people were wonderful. I really love this town. I wish to thank the people of this community for their amazing support. I am so proud to be a part of this community.” Hastings is planning a number of commemorations on the first anniversary of Mr O’Toole’s death. A laneway will be named in his honour and plans are underway to have a green themed day, in honour of Ireland-born Mr O’Toole, on the date of the anniversary of his death so that traders and residents can remember the kind man who was taken from them so suddenly and violently.

She thanked family, friends and colleagues for their support and said her husband would have been “humbled” by his send-off. “What a perfect farewell for my husband of 10 years and partner of 15 years, Peter T Doutch,” she wrote on the family’s Facebook page following the funeral. “Thank you to all involved in turning my vision into reality. Pete would have been humbled by such an awesome send-off.” In addition to his volunteer work with the SES and CFA, Mr Doutch was re-

membered as being passionate about flying and singing, and had turned his love of karaoke into a successful business. Retiring Frankston SES controller Brian McMannis said Mr Doutch was one of the Frankston unit’s most senior members. “It was a very sad day but a fitting send-off for such a dedicated volunteer,” Mr McMannis said. “He was very well respected and very well liked and his loss has hit us all hard.” Mr McMannis said the SES would continue to support the Doutch family, especially in their efforts to get the house ready to meet Emily’s needs when she

returns home in about four weeks’ time. Peninsula Aero Club president Peter Bernardi said members had also been involved in fund-raising efforts for the Doutch family and encourage the community to get behind the cause. “The family has been so strong through all of this, but with Pete now gone and Emily facing a long road to recovery, we really need to make sure they get all the help we can provide,” he said. A Facebook page, The Doutch Family Fund Raising Support Group, has been set up to help the family through Emily’s recovery.

Adelaide Hills white a cool hit

Awards: Receiving awards from Brian Stahl are, from left, Hans Eisen, Trish Kelly, U3A Hastings, Margaret Green, U3A Southern Peninsula (Dromana).

A WINERY in the Adelaide Hills topped the prize pool at this year’s International Cool Climate Wine Show. Bird in Hand’s 2012 Nest Egg chardonnay won Best Wine of Show, Best White Wine and Best Chardonnay. The Best Red Wine of the show went to Honey Moon Vineyard, Adelaide Hills, for its 2012 shiraz. Judges who tasted the wines at Mornington Racing Club on 25 and 26 May had trouble choosing the best Mornington Peninsula white wine, finally settling on a three-way tie between a 2010 Cuvee Brut from Elgee Park, Merricks North, the 2013 chardonnay from Montalto Estate, Red

Hill and the 2012Nepean Chardonnay from Jones Road Wines, Moorooduc. A public tasting held after the judging but before the official results were released, saw the People’s Choice Award go to New Zealand winery Rockburn Central Otago for its 2013 Tigermoth riesling. The 550 entries at this year’s show came from 18 cool climate regions across Australia and New Zealand. Judges awarded 17 trophies, 34 gold, 98 silver and 131 bronze medals. The cool climate wine show, started in 2000 by the Red Hill Agricultural and Horticultural Society, has gone from “strength to strength”, chairman

Liz Dart said. “This is due not only to the highly credentialed panel of judges and the wines that are entered, but also because of the numerous volunteers, and our amazing sponsors and supporters, without who the event would not be able to function.” “Another extraordinary show with an eclectic range of styles rewarded. This show is all about quality and diversity, allowing both the small and larger wineries to showcase their talents,” chairman of judges Meg Brodtmann said. Go to www.coolclimatewine.org.au for the winners list.

High on life’s learning curve THE old adage “you’re never too old to learn” is a self-evident truth and guiding precept for the 2000 members of the peninsula’s three U3A branches, Mornington, Hastings and Southern Peninsula (Dromana). The retired and semi-retired members undertake a range of courses, programs and exercise and leisure programs run by volunteer tutors. Social activities are enhanced by a friendly and welcoming environment. And that work has not gone unrecognised. Last week, U3A Mornington Peninsula received the Order of Australia (Mornington Peninsula Regional Group) Community Award. It was presented by former mayor Brian Stahl who praised the branches for their work and contribution to the local community. The presentation was part of an Interfaith Festival held at the Peninsula

Community Theatre. U3A is one of several groups to receive this award over the past five years. The others are the Country Fire Authority and Emergency Services, the Girl Guides celebrating 100 years, historical societies on the Mornington Peninsula celebrating the 150th year of Gazetted History of Townships, Rotary and Probus clubs. “We are proud to receive this award on behalf of our membership,” Hans Eisen, president of U3A Mornington, said. “We provide a wide range of courses, exercise and leisure programs for people who are retired and semi-retired.” Many U3A members are involved in intergenerational and other community initiatives that support productive and positive ageing. “As proud recipients of this award, our members’ commitment to the community is being recognised,” Mr Eisen said.

Postcards focus on founding fishing industry HASTINGS was synonymous with fishing in the early days. And while this once-major industry is now mostly recreational, it is said 100 boats worked from the town in 1892. The region’s fishing industry is the focus of the colourful Postcards: Stories from the Mornington Peninsula exhibition telling the early history of the peninsula’s most popular holiday spots at an exhibition in Sorrento. It came about over the past three years as the peninsula’s eight historical societies – Rye, Balnarring, Sorrento, Mornington, Hastings, Somerville, Dromana and Flinders – gathered special objects and stories depicting what life was like or the early residents. It is believed that boats out of Hastings carried two men and that about 21,000 baskets of fish were sent to Melbourne each year. Before the railway to Stony Point was laid, fishermen sent their catch by cart to market at Frankston. Later, they dispatched the fish by train (Graeme Butler & Associates, Hastings District Heritage Study Stage Two Environmental History, 2001: 1617, edited by Carly Richardson, 2014). Fishing continued as a major local industry until recently. In 1960, 272,155.42 kilograms was caught by professional fishermen in the waters off the shires of Frankston and Hastings. Commercial fishing declined as a major local industry when the area industrialised. A fisherman's hut on the foreshore at Hastings is said to date from around 1864, just after the first jetty was built.

The shed was used for storing and packing fish, as well as the ice in which it was packed for transport. It is still being used by local fishermen. It is known that William Woolley (1888-1968) lived in a house at Crib Point. His house overlooked the bay and the Woolley family launched their boats from a small jetty. Beside mooring boats, the jetty was used for drying the nets, which would be strung over the jetty rails in long lines. In earlier days, fish could be kept cool under wet bags, or in some cases, exposed to the wind to dry the slime off them, as it is the slime that sends fish bad. Once ice became available, Woolley kept an old ice chest on the beach in which he kept the fish fresh. Ice

would be delivered from Mornington Ice Works each week. The fish were unloaded at Stony Point where they were boxed and iced, and where there was a trolley on which the fish boxes could be wheeled along the rails to the railway station. This information comes from Bruce Bennett, in The Hastings Fishermen and the History of Fishing at Hastings on Western Port, June 2004, provided by the Hastings Historical Society, 2014 Mr Bennett also tells of Giovanni Napoli, who came to Hastings in 1880 and married 16 year old Thenia Orsino in 1889. In those days he would leave home at noon on a Sunday to go out in his boat at 4pm, stop out at sea and return on Thursday afternoon

to send the fish to market. The catch was taken from Hastings to Frankston and then to Melbourne. Free time was spent mending the nets. In the 1900s Napoli worked a boat from Stony Point where he would meet the train and ferry passengers to the Isle of Wight hotel at Cowes. In other parts of the exhibition, Flinders will tell the story of its renowned guesthouses, while Nepean’s take on holidaymakers will focus on the role of paddle steamers which carried tourists all around the bay. The influence of the paddle steamer can still be seen in Sorrento - the ferry. Rye’s foreshore and beach, which has been a popular tourist destination since the early 1900s, becomes a focal

point showing how holiday-makers enjoyed swimming, boating and ‘parading’, while Dromana’s Arthurs Seat lookout reflects upon how changing values in an environment can alter how it is used. Somerville and Tyabb’s focus is on how apple orchards influenced the industry of today, while Mornington’s reflection is on how the early train line influenced the region. It documents the local community’s valiant, but unsuccessful, efforts to keep the train running after 1981. In a similar light, Balnarring’s story about the creation of a Harley Davidson clubhouse offers an alternative view to the usual tales of motorcycle groups and clubs. It focuses on the importance of community and family – and a history about which we are most likely unfamiliar. Postcards: Stories from the Mornington Peninsula was launched by the Mornington Peninsula Shire, in conjunction with the Mornington Peninsula Local History Network, and is on at the Sorrento Museum until 17 August. It will then tour the peninsula, including Frankston library from 8 September to 5 October, Mornington library from 11 October to 16 November, and Coolart Wetlands, Somers, from 22 November to 25 January 2015. The final stop is the Royal Historical Society of Victoria in Melbourne from 2 February to 9 March 2015. An audio visual presentation and online education kit are shown with the exhibition.

CELSIUS Sculpture showdown looms OPPOSING factions in the “Great Flinders Sculpture Debate” are set to battle it out at a specially convened meeting of the Flinders Community Association next weekend. At stake is the erection of “a magnificent” four-metre high bronze sculpture by internationally renowned peninsula artist Andrew Rogers. The sculpture was to be “gifted” – at cost-price of about $100,000 – to the Flinders community to commemorate the town’s 150th birthday and a site in the middle of a roundabout at the intersection of Cook and Wood streets had been agreed upon. A town hall meeting in March voted in favour of the proposal, funding was pledged by members of the local community, and approval from VicRoads was granted on the basis the sculpture

met the various requirements for siting on a roundabout. But rumblings from both within and outside of the FCA of began to build, culminating in official objections being tabled with the shire council and association board. Following advertisement of the proposal, 38 objections including a petition containing 145 signatures had been lodged with the council. All eyes will now be focused on what shapes as a “riveting” showdown at the FCA meeting on Saturday 21 June. However, any decisions reached may be irrelevant, with the final decision resting with the council, VicRoads – and the artist himself. Chris Brennan

Young bear the brunt Continued from Page 3

“Throughout the Mornington Peninsula, there is a significant group of young people who aren’t just unemployed, they have been so for years – these people need help and support and they aren’t getting from the Liberals,” he said. “The estimate of the councils and services was that in the Frankston/Mornington Peninsula region, there were some 2500 young people lost to the education/training system and, with these cuts, about to be cast away from mainstream society. “With record levels of unemployment, disengagement, homelessness demands, intergenerational family unemployment, family violence, drug and alcohol levels, the ending of the funding to Youth Connections and Local Learning employment coordination networks, cuts to youth Newstart, disability support and the further cuts to TAFE, Schools EMAs, etc are leaving local young people on the edge of a crisis.” Ms Constas was equally scathing, claiming the combined “failures” of the state and federal Liberal parties had “left more young people throughout Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula without a job, and struggling to get the skills to find one”. The state budget had failed to provide any support for young Victorians despite “an epidemic of youth unemployment currently ravaging the state”, Ms Constas said. “This comes after the Napthine government decimated TAFE with its $1.2 billion cuts from 2011.” She said the federal budget continued the bad news for Frankston and peninsula young people, with access to Newstart restricted and further cuts to TAFE and higher education funding. “Cutting TAFE, preventing young people getting Newstart, making university more expensive – if you are young person in Victoria under Denis Napthine and the Liberals, you’re on your own,” Ms Constas said. “The key to breaking the cycle of unemployment is better education, more access to training and greater support through mentoring and they are all being cut by the Liberals.” However, federal member for Dunkley Bruce Billson, who is the Abbott government’s Minister for Small Business, said the Liberal Party’s “tough love” policies would help more young people escape unemployment and find fulfilling careers. He said the work for the dole provided “a great

opportunity to encourage more people to enter the workforce and take a step toward achieving their full potential”. “We believe that all Australians capable of working should be working, earning, learning or working for the dole to help build confidence and self-worth,” he said. “The work for the dole program is an important part of the government’s plan to help young job seekers gain the skills and experience they need to move from welfare to work and make a positive contribution to their local community. “It keeps job seekers engaged, active and helps to build our local economy.” Mr Billson’s federal Liberal Party colleague on the peninsula, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, agreed young people needed more incentives to find work or get into training. He said the federal budget delivered funding for a number of new initiatives to provide “more opportunities for young Australians to participate in education or employment”. “We’re delivering on our commitment to introduce Trade Support Loans to support apprentices and the commonwealth will provide funding for higher education diplomas, advanced diplomas and associate degrees for the first time,” Mr Hunt said. “In recognition of the importance of education and training in preventing future unemployment, young people who return to school or take up fulltime vocational education or university study will not be subject to the six-month waiting period.” Mr Hunt also moved to allay fears thousands of young people risked being cut off from social security payments. He said there were many exemptions and options for people to avoid the six-month waiting period. These include:  People in full-time education;  Those assessed as having a partial work capacity of less than 30 hours per week;  A single parent receiving Family Tax Benefit for a child;  A part-time apprentice;  A principal carer parent;  A job seeker assessed as requiring stream 3 or stream 4 assistance under the current employment services arrangements (or the Remote Jobs and Communities Programme equivalent);  A person eligible for Disability Employment Services.

Go ahead given for SPA designs Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au FOUR architectural firms have been invited to compete in a design competition for the $40 million Southern Peninsula Aquatic centre planned for Rosebud foreshore. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors last week endorsed an officer’s report recommending concept proposals, drawings and presentation images be sought from Cox Architecture, Peddle Thorp, Suters Architects and Williams Ross. The firms will each be paid $20,000. As well as designs they will provide cost estimates for construction of the complex as well as their services to be “independently checked by the shire’s appointed quantity surveyor”. A 71-page report to council by project manager Davis Langdon “defines what is needed from the project and maximises benefits so that the council’s expectations are met or exceeded by the completed project”. Council’s capital works project manager David Hampton told councillors in a report that Davis Langdon “has identified a number of opportunities to achieve maximum value for money”. “Their advice on how to improve the benefits of the project is more than simply minimising cost and is based on their considerable experience with the delivery of similar projects elsewhere,” Mr Hampton said. Mr Hampton’s report stated that the “base cost” of the aquatic centre remained at $33.88 million, although the design brief given to the four architecture firms includes an extra $6m for waterslides, an expanded water play area, expanded

gymnasium, demolition or changes to Rosebud Memorial Hall, and provision for an outdoor viewing deck accessible for use by the cafe. The four-person judging panel will include “external design professionals” Robert Mehegan and Jon Shinkfield and the shire’s recreation and leisure manager. Mr Hampton said a four-person panel would be appointed to judge the designs. The judges would be supported by technical experts, including a shire recreation or operations officer “chosen to represent eventual users”. “The design competition and request for tender provides for the project brief and competitors’ drawings and presentations images to be placed on public exhibition, including social media and the shire’s website,” Mr Hampton stated. “A public exhibition during the judging process is appropriate given the high level of community interest. Community comments may be considered by the panel as part of their evaluation.”

Ches ‘knew’ The Beatles were CELEBRATIONS marking last week’s 50th anniversary of the Beatles tour of Australia struck a resonant chord with Rosebud’s John (Johnny) Chester. The popular musician was a support act for the Fab Four when they played to packed – and screaming - houses in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and then New Zealand. Memories came flooding back when the phones ran hot last week after the screening of an ABC documentary on the landmark tour. Australia had never seen anything like it before, with half of Adelaide’s population jamming the route from the airport and Melbourne’s streets a sea of eager young faces cramming to catch a glimpse of the group on the balcony of the old Southern Cross hotel. That was on the first day – Sunday 14 June – and the same thing happened the next. Melbourne’s youngsters were on a new trajectory: the Swinging 60s had begun – nothing would be the same again. “I’ve had a lot of calls and emails and some very favourable comments about the TV show,” Chester, 73, told The News last week. “Liz [his wife of 50 years] thought it was terrific. “I wasn’t aware of any [behind the scenes] controversies like some people are trying to suggest. One TV station asked me to tell what was really going on backstage and I said nothing. Even if I knew I wouldn’t tell.” Chester sang four songs a show for two shows a night as support act

after local band The Phantoms, New Zealand rocker Johnny Devlin and British act Sounds Incorporated had warmed up the 4500-strong crowd. Not that they needed warming up, as the band they had really come to see was riding a wave of popularity never seen before in Australia. The Beatles’ shows lasted half an hour, but no one heard them sing more than the first few bars of any song as screaming girls drowned them out. “I really liked what they were doing,” Chester said. “And the proof was certainly in the pudding as they had the top six singles in the charts and their first album, Please Please Me would have been number one too, if we’d had a chart for albums. “I felt that something special was happening with all the media attention they had and I liked the way they treated everyone. They were nice guys who made everyone feel at ease.” Chester said The Beatles’ tour gave him – and many other performers the confidence to regard singing as a career and not just something to do after their day job. Referring to The Beatles as the complete package - writing, singing and playing their own songs - Chester says he enjoyed their company: “We got on very well and we had the same musical influences. “We were the same age and we were a long time in each other’s company. We had similar interests and we ate together – even though there would be about 40 other people in the room at

It was 1964 and Melbourne had never before put on such a welcome for musicians. STEPHEN TAYLOR, not yet a teenager, remembers his older sister going into town the see The Beatles. Here he talks to two men who toured with the Fab Four.

something special the time.” He treasures a quiet chat with George Harrison in which they discussed their favourite musicians, the songs they liked – and their love of cars. George had just bought an E-type Jaguar and was keen to get back home for a first drive. Another highlight was attending Paul’s 22nd birthday on the Sydney leg of the tour. Chester had turned 22 the

previous December. Before the second Adelaide show, Chester’s nervousness threatened to derail proceedings. He thought “no one would be interested in what I was doing” and even began steeling himself for boos from the audience. However, an inspired choice of song: Fever by Peggy Lee, combined with innovative lighting techniques, helped him produce a stunning performance.

Even John Lennon - watching from the wings - was blown away: “Where did you get that idea from,” he asked incredulously after the set. “That was f… ing fantastic.” His confidence soared and nervousness was never a problem again. “The Beatles were exactly what people wanted,” Chester said. “They were smiling and happy, there were no fights. It was a wonderful experience.”

Whirlwind tour and a party, but no photos please wanted to see,” Stewart recalled. “There was a choice of Gerry and the Pacemakers, Brian Poole and the Tremeloes and The Beatles, so I called out their names one by one. The Beatles got the most applause, so I told Lean and things started to fall in place.” Stewart said he had heard The Beatles’ first album, Please Please Me, and thought it “fantastic”. He tried to buy a copy but it had already sold out. That confirmed his belief in the band’s popularity and touring potential. Lean was of a like mind, saying that if their record made number one then their concerts here would certainly be sell outs. Meeting Lean later at his office at the Southern Cross hotel, Stewart heard the good news: The Beatles had signed and would tour in June. But

who could he suggest as support acts? “I said The Phantoms and Johnny Devlin - who was known nationally and was from New Zealand where the tour would finish. He asked for one more act. I said Johnny Chester who was a local legend. Johnny O’Keefe was big nationally but Chester was really big in Melbourne. “He called them all, got positive responses and said: ‘Done, we are all set to go’.” But Stewart’s role was really just beginning. Lean had appreciated his advice and assistance in putting things together and asked him to join the tour. After the first eye-opening concert at Adelaide, Stewart got up early and called into sister station 5AD to broadcast back to DB in Melbourne how the show was received and what songs were sung. It was tantamount to

a warning: The Beatles’ phenomenon is on its way - get ready! Stewart recalls talking to George Harrison on the Fokker flight to Melbourne: “I said it must be great seeing the world and having all these people interested in you. He said: ‘Does it get any better? All we see are the insides of planes, limos, and concert halls and then get back on the plane and don’t really see anything’.” Stewart thought Harrison rather introverted, John Lennon as “knowing he was the leader of the band”, and Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr as only interested in “having a ball”. They did. “Early on I had a chat with [Ringo’s stand-in drummer] Jimmy Nicol and realised it would have been a tough gig for him. Most of us were in the same boat as him, though, thinking

‘What are we doing here?’” But The Beatles – as individuals – were pleasant, affable and well behaved. “Before Adelaide we wondered what they would be like,” he said. “But they all shook our hands, were polite and just ordinary blokes.” And generous, too: They let the support acts use their then huge Fox amps and didn’t let fame influence their dealings with others. A highlight for Stewart was Paul McCartney’s 22nd birthday at the Sheraton in Sydney. He was having a great time and asked if he could be in a photo with the band. “They said ‘of course’ and so I raced upstairs to my room to grab my camera but, on the way back, I was stopped by security who said ‘No pictures, no cameras’. I was deflated, thinking what might have been.”

ONE of the men who played an intrinsic role in the Beatles tour – and in getting Johnny Chester his first big break – is Bruce Stewart. A sales rep at radio station 3DB in the 1960s (he’s now a sales rep for The News), Stewart also managed a The Phantoms a band popular on the local scene. He ran a series of dance concerts at Festival Hall at which Johnny Chester sang. Now living at Skye, Stewart was an associate of Dick Lean, who ran Festival Hall where The Beatles later played. At one of the Sunday afternoon shows, Stewart recalls talking to Lean who had just received a phone call from promoter Kenn Brodziak, in London, asking who he should sign up for a future tour of Australia. “I said I’d go and ask the teenagers who they

The shot that shook our world Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE situation could not have been more exciting for the gunners at Fort Nepean – or those on the German merchant ship steaming for The Heads – on the first day of the war in 1914. Hostilities had been declared officially three hours and forty-five minutes before the Pfalz made her run for it, hoping to escape to open sea before her new enemy could intern her. But it was not to be: the gunners aimed well and a six-inch shell from gun emplacement number six roared into the water only a short distance from Pfalz and the Australian pilot innocently guiding her towards freedom – a Capt. Robinson - talked the anxious German captain into surrendering. It’s a fair bet that none of the gunners would have had any idea then how irrevocably the world had changed, even as the echoes of the shot reverberated through the remote coastal artillery fortification. It was the first shot fired in anger throughout the entire British Empire on the first day of the First World War. It was the first of all the hundreds of millions of rounds of all calibres subsequently fired over the next four years and four months until hostilities ceased on 11 November 1918. We were in it for the long haul … Organiser Bernie Gaynor, a major in the Royal Australian Army artillery – who I in charge of upcoming

celebrations to commemorate the event - proudly reports that the young Australian servicemen guarding the fort all those years ago were professional, well trained and ready for action even in those early moments of war. “They behaved as they should have and prevented the escape of an enemy ship. War had been declared at 11pm London time on August 4 which was 9am on August 5 here. Yet, a little over three hours later, they were able to stop the Pfalz and have her returned to port.” The armoured gun placements along the shore had been built in stages

from the 1860s, when the threat of a Russian invasion loomed large over the new colony. They were a work in progress until 1910-11 when seven of the newest six-inch guns – common in defences throughout the Empire – were installed to defend the bay. Two each went to Fort Nepean and Fort Pierce and three to Queenscliff. Major Gaynor said the gunners had to be careful with their aim, as a long shot could have hit Swan Island – and people - on the other side of the bay. They waited patiently until the ship turned to make her run towards the Heads and fired, impacting the water

a short distance from her stern. Their intent was clear, the danger imminent. Hearing the shot on the bridge, Capt. Robinson ordered the ship to stop and was “involved in a brief tussle” with the German captain until common sense prevailed. The Germans knew they could not outrun the guns. Their war was over. Now, 100 years later, Point Nepean will once again echo to the sound of artillery fire when the Governor of Victoria, Alex Chernov, and other distinguished guests gather at the former Officer Cadet School Parade Ground at Point Nepean to commemorate the significance of that first shot. Around 5000 people are expected to attend the free event on Tuesday 5 August – and volunteers are urged to register with the organising committee so they can lend a hand. Last week it was confirmed that the federal and state governments and Mornington Peninsula Shire would fund the celebrations which are being organised by the First Shot Committee. The federal government has committed $10,000 through its Anzac Centenary Community Grants program. The shire council will contribute $20,000. The Federation Guard and RAN Band will add military pomp and precision. Planning is well under way with committee meetings being held fortnightly. On board are representatives of the Department of Premier and Cabinet, Parks Victoria, the Army and the RSL. Sorrento-Portsea RSL president John Prentice said club members were “enthusiastically supporting” the anniversary. The First Shot Commemorations

The Long Shot THE state government, through Parks Victoria and Veterans’ Affairs, will spend $350,000 on facilities at Fort Nepean to enhance the visitor’s experience and understanding of the events that took place 100 years ago and ensure these stories are not lost. The 5 August commemorative event will be the start of a campaign to restore the gun that fired the first shot to full working order. The Long Shot project committee will seek philanthropic, community and business support for this. At the same time, the Long Shot committee will work to find the original shell that was fired in 1914. It is hoped it will go on display at Font Nepean alongside the gun. It is hoped to have the gun completed by Armistice Day 2018 for future commemorative and community events. will be open to the public from 11am– 1.30pm. They will include the firing of an artillery howitzer, and visitors can view the site of the first shot and experience the enhanced interpretation facilities. Visitors will be able to travel from the Quarantine Station to Fort Nepean by free shuttle bus from noon. Spaces are limited so those planning to attend are encouraged to register at the event’s website: www. thefirstshot.com.au “We’ve been intensively planning for the event,” Major Gaynor said. “The committee is working well together and we are enjoying the project. It’s a unique moment in the history of the First World War - and Victoria.” Volunteers should phone John Prentice on 0412513457 or Michael Jefferson on 0438591946.

Noisy neighbours here to stay NOISY miners do most of their breeding from June to December so their noise levels are going to increase across the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston as they compete for mates and protect their territories. “Our native noisy miners are not everyone’s favourite neighbours and often with good reason,” Susanna Bradshaw, CEO of the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife said. “These birds get their name from their loud, repetitive calls, but there are also other problems brought on by the noisy miner.” Ms Bradshaw said the birds were “very territorial” and will often mob cats and dogs and native wildlife. “This behaviour unfortunately drives away many of these animals, such as small wrens and ringtail possums,” she said. “While these birds are sometimes in the bad books, quite often they get blamed for the naughty deeds done by the similarly named common myna or Indian myna. Common mynas are a much bigger problem for Australia’s wildlife because they are non-native, very aggressive and have a rapidly expanding population. “Common mynas look quite similar to noisy miners in their size and shape but their colouring is very different. Common mynas have dark brown feathers whereas the noisy miners are mainly grey.” Ms Bradshaw said noisy miners preferred open spaces and could be discouraged in gardens by building up an understorey.

including spikey plants, would attract smaller birds and give them somewhere to hide from miners. Nesting boxes for possums and native birds were “a great way” to encourage other animals back into gardens. “Noisy Miners are predominantly honeyeaters; they love the big, showy flowers of banksias and grevilleas. Try to limit the amount of big nectar producing plants in your backyard and instead maintain a diverse range of Australian plants. This will benefit a wider range of native species.” “Despite their reputation, there are

plenty of things to admire the noisy miners for. In their communal groups of 5-20 birds, very unusually, the males will hang around and help with the child rearing,” Ms Bradshaw said. “The baby noisy miners are very fluffy and cute and you’ll be seeing them cuddling up to each other as the weather gets colder. These noisy miners are also very helpful in the garden by eating insects in your veggie garden.” Ms Bradshaw said noisy miners were honeyeaters whose diet included seeds, insects, frogs, lizards and fruit.

“You can usually tell exactly what the noisy miners are communicating to their group. If they feel there is a threat nearby, you will hear a very loud, quick ‘pwee, pwee, pwee’. When they’re relaxed, their calls are much softer and when the babies want food, they make a high pitched call.” The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife runs an environmental education program called Backyard Buddies.

SUE Williams, pictured, has been appointed CEO of Peninsula Health. Ms Williams, former general manager Healthcare Division of the Spotless Group, replaces Dr Sherene Devanesen who resigned in October last year after 13 years with Peninsula Health to become chief operating officer of the Yooralla Society of Victoria. Peninsula Health chair Nancy Hogan said Ms Williams, before working Spotless, had been a partner in the health and human services division of KPMG as well as holding various positions with Healthscope and the North Western Healthcare Network. “Sue’s earliest qualifications were in Nursing, but she has added to this a Bachelor in Business Management and a Master of Business Administration from Monash University,” Ms Hogan said. “In 2009, she undertook the advanced management program at Harvard University.” Acting CEO David Anderson will continue until a starting date is confirmed for Ms Williams.

LETTERS Port subterfuge

S K A O LE PLUSH TOYS O B $4.90

SUBTERFUGE, contradictions and unfounded statements appear to be rife in this state government when it comes to the Port of Hastings. On the one hand, every time [the Premier] Denis Napthine or [Ports Minister] David Hodgett open their mouths we are advised that the port is going ahead and that there will be thousands of jobs and that it is an enormous boon for Hastings and surrounding regions. With respect to jobs and the economy, could we have a simple business plan that details exactly where these jobs are and how the potential elimination of current employers (fishing, tourism, marine recreation) and health of the bay and its environs won’t simply negate the alleged future economic boon in making Victoria the freight nightmare? In regards to the government predictions of huge demands in shipping, in an article published 3 June the supply chain expert group SCAN (Supply Chain Advisory Network) casts doubt on the wisdom of the Western Port development: “SCAN reprises some arguments already raised surrounding Hastings option weaknesses, particularly the port’s relative remoteness from growth areas and absence of the sort of existing intermodal linkages that make the Port of Melbourne so effective.” The article (www.fullyloaded.com.au/news/ logistics/1406/scan-takes-swipe-at-hastings-option/) says there is no guarantee that the largest container ships “will be shifted from global shipping arteries to routes in the South Pacific”. The premier appears to need reminding of the text which can be found on the Port of Hastings Development Authority website: Does approval to do the surveys mean that a container port at Hastings is approved to go ahead? No. The survey results will allow the Port of Hastings Development Authority to develop a detailed proposal for a container port at the Port of Hastings that can then be subject to environmental assessment under Victorian and Commonwealth law. Following this assessment, a business case will be finalised and a decision to proceed with container expansion will be made by the Victorian government. This is expected to occur in 2017/2018. It would therefore be prudent for the state government to be cognizant that the port is not a given and to persist with such an attitude is not only disingenuous, it is a potential waste of taxpayers’ money and makes a mockery of the general public and the soundness of any proper cost benefit and risk analysis.

Western Port News 17 June 2014

OUR local “representative” [Hastings MP] Neil Burgess had been quoted saying “the [Port of Hastings] project’s declaration provided certainty on the assessment-and-approval process”. He then waffles on about “evaluation” and “community feedback”. How can any assessments be worth making or any community feedback be anything but pretence if the approval process has certainty? We are told that we have a “representative parliamentary democracy” but we all know that we don’t. Successive immigration ministers from Al Grassby through Clyde Holding and Phillip Ruddock and now Scott Morrison have ignored the majority of Australians objection to their massive immigration programs … more than 100,000 a year for Victoria alone right now. Ruddock and Morrison hide this behind a tough stance on the relatively trivial number of illegal immigrants. This is for their only economic vision: crude growth. This crude growth requires more water, electricity, roads and rails and food and schools and hospitals and houses. Mr Hodgett is quoted “Port of Hastings expansion is so critical to preserving our export and manufacturing industries and supporting the future liveability and economic growth of the state”. We all know that manufacturing is being killed off here by the very items imported in container ships to lighten your wallet at the warehouse before a brief stint at your house on its way to the nearest land fill. Is liveability dodging ships as high as the Sydney Opera House and 400 metres long? Living in the gutter here at Tortoise Head by an international super highway? Massive road and rail through the entirely built up land between Hastings and Melbourne.

In fact, Hastings will be a part of Melbourne and Tooradin one of its airports. Labor was saying it would scrap the Hastings option but is now mumbling about evaluations and preferred options. We could possibly have pinned Labor down to an unequivocal commitment to abandon the project with a promise of support for them at this election, but the only groups established to oppose the development had declared themselves apolitical or for other reasons could not bring themselves to support this Labor option. Anyway, everyone has google at their fingertips and can find out anything. Ask Maersk if it really will send these ships to Hastings. The only thing I can think of to actually do is suffer the trials of being an independent at this coming election on this single issue. This could be a sort of referendum on the proposed port expansion. It is a miserable prospect compared to what we might have had in supporting a Labor candidate clearly opposed to this monstrosity. The ALP doesn’t even seem to have a candidate yet. Stop the boats. Don’t Shanghai Hastings. Paul Madigan, French Island

No doubt on port SO the farce of looking into the feasibility and ramifications of the Hastings Port development is over. The state government has enabled “the way for the planning approvals process to begin” (Western Port News 3/6/14). My discussions with Mike Lean (CEO Port of Hastings Development Authority) were based on a lie coming from the state government that it was having him looking into the pros and cons, in particular the environmental considerations. He told me that if it doesn’t stack up he wouldn’t recommend that it go ahead. Politics and the ever closer state election overrides the niceties of proper planning so hundreds of millions of dollars can be found to create the impression that an expanded port is about to happen. This money is wasted on feasibility studies and consultants. Sure every point of view will be heard, but our local MPs have made it clear – like it or not we will expand the port at an eventual cost of billions of dollars that we don’t have, and that they have no intention of finding for new freeways and train lines, to move the containers from Hastings to the other side of the city. This is the greatest election con job of all time and unfortunately the people of Hastings are the pawns in this election manoeuvring. The false promise of work for desperate job seekers is as low as you can go and I am bitterly disappointed in the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council for supporting (with ratepayers’ money) the state government’s unworkable fantasy to turn a fragile, shallow bay into a major container port with an unworkable scheme to move containers around already clogged up city arterials and train lines then interstate. David Gill, Somers Foreshore Committee Member

Climate no comment IT seems like barely a week goes by without a photo or article in your paper showing our local member [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt. It does puzzle me though that when asked to comment as environment minister he would not respond to questions put him by the Melbourne Age journalists, (‘US ties at risk over climate’, 7 June. ) regarding the need for Australia to pull its weight in doing something about climate change. Perhaps next time Greg presents himself for a photo opportunity one of your journalists could ask him if he has any understanding of what climate change is and what his party is going to do about it? Stephen Hough, Dromana

No pay in tourism THE rate of unemployment on the Mornington Peninsula is not surprising. I have been badgering the council for 10 years to shift its priorities from 100 per cent tourism to light clean manufacturing. The roadblocks to this kind of initiative always put it in the too hard basket, which is a hogwash, as I lived in a small community that addressed the problem and the employment numbers outstripped the population. Unfortunately tourism does not, for the most

part, pay a living wage to employees. It creates jobs that are part time and minimum wage. The announcement that P&O ships will stop and offload in Mornington is a great public relations coup but will have little to do with the unemployment situation as the stops are infrequent and will not provide much, if any, new permanent full time employment. The shires’ feeble attempt at solving this dreadful unemployment situation was the cafe attached to the Hastings pool which cost ratepayers $800,000 a year to train a few people to pour coffee (a living wage?). And to justify its existence for many years the shire cooked the books to make it look like more people were trained under the program than actually were and also refused, as is typical, to provide data to ratepayers on the situation. Until the shire is willing to look beyond tourism as the only solution to employment there will never be an end to the peninsula being one of the 18 “high-unemployment” areas which has brought the wrath of the federal government down on our residents. If there are no jobs how can the unemployed become employed? Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Warm response AS result of your story 'Donations have blanket appeal' (Western Port News, 3/6/14) there has been a fantastic response with bags of blankets, garments and wool left with staff at the Hastings branch of Bendigo Bank for the Food for All Winter Blanket Appeal. Two deliveries have been made to Appeal HQ (All Saints Church Hall) at Rosebud, while donated wool already is being clickedy-clacked into new blankets, scarves and beanies. Thanks to everyone who has supported the appeal so far, we have been able to get warm blankets and clothing to needy families right now. Knitted blankets, scarves and beanies take time to complete of course, worth their weight in gold for warmth and comfort, so donated readymade items have been most welcome. Knitters unable to afford wool to support the appeal can ask for four balls (each) at the Hastings branch of the Bendigo Bank, while anyone with unwanted wool from UFOs please get it working for a good cause by leaving it at the branch. All donations are provided to needy families identified by St Vincent de Paul, Mornington Peninsula Conference. Frances Henke, Hastings

SPA costs rising IT took a walkout by three concerned and conscientious councillors to reveal that yet another $6 million will be added to build the massive Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) on the Rosebud foreshore. Only last December when the council made its controversial decision to approve SPA the cost was $33.8 million and now the cost has sky rocketed to $40 million with the addition of water slides and, and you guessed it, yes it is now better to rebuild the Rosebud Memorial Hall. We will have a monstrous building on our foreshore bigger than the new regional aquatic centre in Frankston. In the meantime sustainable organisation director Marilyn Kearney, who presented the financial report on the then $33.8 million cost of SPA only last December, submitted her resignation in February. I wonder if she knew her report was no longer valid? One wonders what is still to come. Council officers are well aware that the $40 million cost is based on February 2013 pricing which could well be another 10 per cent by the time the construction contact is let in 2016. The operating loss for the first five years will be $3-4 million. In addition, the council’s future plan for Rosebud shows that Point Nepean Rd is to be re-aligned to allow car parking adjacent to the SPA instead of in the existing central median strip and this is likely to cost a further $10-15 million. This takes the total cost to ratepayers to almost $60 million, which includes the losses of the first five years of operation but does not include the interest payments on the loan which will be required to build this massive and excessive development on the foreshore. The technique being used by the shire to progress the project is commonly known in the development industry as the drip feed system. This involves introducing changes gradually and increasing the cost over a period of time so that a single sudden jump in cost does not does not frighten the public. The increasing cost of SPA and its impact on rates is likely to be an important issue in the upcoming election for the Red Hill ward. Alan Nelsen, president Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ Association

$9.90 Awards: Receiving awards from Brian Stahl are, from left, Hans Eisen, Trish Kelly, U3A Hastings, Margaret Green, U3A Southern Peninsula (Dromana).

Award follows life’s learning curve THE old adage ‘you’re never too old to learn’ is one of life’s bywords for the 2000 members of the peninsula’s three U3A branches: Mornington, Hastings and Southern Peninsula (Dromana). The retired and semi-retired members undertake a range of courses, programs, and exercise and leisure programs run by volunteer tutors. Social activities are enhanced by a friendly and welcoming environment. And that work has not gone unrecognised. Last week U3A Mornington Peninsula received the Order of Australia (Mornington Peninsula Regional Group) Community Award. It was presented by Brian Stahl OAM JP who praised the branches for their work and contribution to the local community. The presentation was part of an Interfaith Festival held at the Peninsula Community Theatre.

U3A is one of several groups to receive this award over the past five years. The others are the Country Fire Authority and Emergency Services, the Girl Guides celebrating 100years, historical societies on the Mornington Peninsula celebrating the 150th year of Gazetted History of Townships, Rotary and Probus clubs. “We are proud to receive this award on behalf of our membership,” Hans Eisen, president of U3A Mornington, said. “We provide a wide range of courses, exercise and leisure programs for people who are retired and semi-retired.” Many U3A members are involved in intergenerational and other community initiatives that support productive and positive ageing. “As proud recipients of this award, our members’ commitment to the community is being recognised,” Mr Eisen said.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

A case of peninsula apples presented to the King Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE wedding of Miss Grace Hutchins, of Mornington, to Mr W Humphies, of Riddell, was celebrated at Mornington on Wednesday last. *** THE Frankston Choral Society held their weekly practice on Wednesday evening last, and the large muster of members thoroughly enjoyed the hard work their conductor gave them. *** THE popular young sportsman, Mr J Murphy, has left Mornington for the metropolis, and his friends intend giving him a send off and giving him a presentation at an early date. *** A number of members of the Frankston Choral Society intend going to hear the “We Four” combination of male voices sing at the Melbourne Athenaeum Hall on Wednesday next. Mr F Earp is one of the principals. Messrs Brody and Mason will sell by auction on the premises, “Kananook” Melbourne Road, Frankston, on Wednesday next, freehold property, furniture, and sundries. Sale will commence at 2 o’clock. *** A GRAND dance, the proceeds of which will go towards defraying the expenses of a Frankston child while in the Infectious Diseases Hospital, will be held in the Mechanics’ hall this (Saturday) evening. A splendid orchestra has been engaged, and light refresh ments will be provided. A pleasant evening is assured. *** A very painful accident befell Mrs

Latchford, of the Westernport Hotel, on Friday evening last. This lady travelled by the train from town, and when it arrived at Hastings, mistook the side of the carriage the platform was on, and stepped out onto the permanent way and received a severe shaking, being unable to walk home. Dr Griffith of Somerville has been attending the injured lady. *** THE finances of the Mornington shire are in a healthy condition, as compared to this time last year. At the last meeting the overdraft was reported by the treasurer to be £109 4s 8d, and with that day’s payments amounting to £219 7s 10d would be £328 12s 6d. At this time last year the overdraft was £724. Cr Flood said that it was a matter of great gratification that they stood in such a satisfactory position. *** WE are pleased to state that Mrs Hughes, of Mornington, who has been an inmate at St. Vincent hospital for the past six weeks, is now convalescent, and staying with friends in the metropolis. *** AT the last show of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association, the champion case of apples, grown by the president of the association, Mr O Grant, was purchased by Mr Moss, of Messrs J W Moss and Co. The original intention of Mr Moss was to display the fruit in the leading fruit shops in London, but it was afterwards thought that the apples might prove acceptable to His Majesty the King, and would at the same time bring Australian fruit prominently before His Majesty. Mr

Moss therefore arranged with a friend in London to forward the apples to the King, and a cable message has been received by Mr Moss, in which it was stated that His Majesty had been pleased to accept the gift with thanks, and that the apples had opened up in a very satisfactory condition. The genial president of the association is naturally highly pleased that his apples have received such prominence, and that they have been accepted as a gift by Royalty. It is a splendid advertisement, not only for the district in which they were grown, but for Australia. ***

His Majesty had been pleased to accept the gift with thanks, and that the apples had opened up in a very satisfactory condition.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Sir,With your permission I would like to draw attention in the column of the Standard to a public matter in Somerville, that has apparently been lost sight of, but needs attention none the less. I refer to the need of a rubbish tip.

The Shire Council to their credit, be it said, introduced this matter some time ago, and took the initial step towards securing it. Their choice unfortunately met with much opposition, (unwarranted in my opinion) from a section of the ratepayers. This had the effect of giving the proposal such a “setback” that it was eventually allowed to drop altogether. Now, I contend, Sir, this matter needs reviving. A corporation tip in a progressive township like Somerville is not only desirable but has become a positive necessity. One has only to walk around the town, more particularly in the vicinity of the Park to find evidences of this. Householders must occasionally dispose of their accumulated rubbish due to the lack of proper provision being made, they have simply shot the same down at the first convenient spot. Can anything I ask, be more unsightly, or suggestive of a mild barbaric custom than this? Surely some spot, not too far distant from the town can be secured, that will be voted by at least, a majority of those interested, as suitable for the purpose. If so, by all means let it be done, thereby preventing a continuance of this untidy and objectionable practice. Yours etc, Resident. *** LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Sir, A paragraph in your report of the proceedings of the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council should give cause for thoughtful consideration on the part of our councillors. They are chosen from our shrewdest men, and, as such, should put their feet down firmly on the total clearing away of the timber on our

roads. Far too many of our roads have been completely cleared of trees, with the result that travellers are exposed to the blasts of every wind that blows, either in summer or winter, there is no shelter on a cleared road, certainly no beauty. The road is no better kept, and it may be said that no useful purpose is served by the timber being removed. Contrast one of these with that portion of the Frankston-Hastings road at Baxter’s Flat, and one will immediately see and appreciate the difference. The time of year when Labor Day is celebrated is now with us, and it should be remembered that not only is the planting of trees a necessity, but also the preservation of them. The Main Roads Board wishes this to be observed. So long life to it, and to the councillors who carry out.its ideas - Yours, etc, Traveller, Somerville. *** AN advertisement in this paper will canvas the whole district for you, and what is more, will secure for you a much better hearing in most cases than you could hope to get yourself, because the ad will reach the people when they are in a mood to pay respect to your claim; that is, the announcement will be SEEN and READ at a time when people are in the act of reading. And the cost of securing these special advantages is very low, as our rates will prove. *** DON’T borrow your local paper. If you want it, send your name and have it posted to you for 2/6 per quarter. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 20 June 1914

HISTORY

In search of the origins of peninsula football

By Lance Hodgins Part Three IN the same year of the 1858 match between Melbourne Grammar and Scotch, Mornington, got its cherished pier – a 46 metre long structure at an estimated cost of almost £9,000. The pier quickly fed into the social and economic heart of the Mornington Peninsula, with fishing boats, supply boats, paddle steamers and twice-weekly ferries full of visitors driving the growth of Snapper Point. Mornington rapidly became the major commercial and legal centre for the entire peninsula and, by the 1880s, it was an exciting place to live in. More than 500 residents thought so – three times the number who lived in its nearest neighbour, Frankston, which had yet to be joined to Melbourne by rail. The wealthy of Melbourne built mansions along the coast – Beleura, Sunnyside, Manyung – and in the town – Morven Manor, Sutton Grange – and Main St was filling up with the substantial brick buildings of merchants, traders and administrators. On the approach to town sat the Tanti, the original hotel with its nearby saleyards. The Mornington had moved to Main Street and become the Cricketers’ Arms, later the Grand next door, and the Royal and Kirk’s graced the Esplanade. There were several schools to choose from. In 1878, the original primary school moved into new premises in Vale Street, where it remains to this day. A second school served the children of the “Green Island” (Osborne) settlement around Benton and Craigie roads. By the mid 80s, this school had proved so popular that it moved from near Benton’s Square to its present location in Craigie Rd. In the same year as Vale St, B T Backhouse started a boys’ Grammar School in Brewery (Nunns) Rd, and then moved into the grander surroundings of Beleura. Finally, in 1881, The Mornington Academy was born. Like the Grammar School, the academy proudly offered first class teaching to higher levels, boarding, and a healthy seaside environment. And so the stage was set. It was only a matter of time these schools would meet in friendly rivalry on the sporting field. In March 1882, Mr Gibson-Wylie’s academy and the state school met in a cricket match. This was so successful that the two schools considered joining forces to present a challenge to the older boys at Mr Backhouse’s Grammar School. In May 1882, the academy played a one-innings match against the Green Island (Osborne) State School and a

PAGE 44

most exciting and interesting game resulted in a win for the academy. The match took place “on the grounds adjoining the Church of England”. This may have referred to the newly-created reserve on The Esplanade at the end of Main St. To be “adjoining”, however, might have meant the area directly opposite the Church set aside years before for a primary school. Today, the site is covered by the shire offices and library. A return match on Green Island’s turf took place on the Queen’s Birthday holiday. This time over two innings, The academy once again ran out easy victors – by an innings and 4 runs after J Jones scored 32 of the academy’s 59 runs. The academy’s headmaster, Hugh Gibson-Wylie, was well aware of the good publicity gained by his school with these games and, especially, the victories. He was in direct competition with Backhouse’s Mornington Grammar for senior students and further studies, and both charged at least £40 a year for full board and tuition. Emboldened by his cricket success, Gibson-Wylie began to consider the prospect of carrying over these sporting activities onto the football field. That winter, however, would be too soon. If the school was to field a football team then it had to be done properly, with careful preparation, so the Academy boys could perform with distinction. It was not until the following winter of 1883 that negotiations for an opponent were finalised. Vale Street State School had recently appointed a student teacher Joseph Worrell who was a very capable local cricketer and all-round sportsman. Worrell took up the challenge with the Academy, and finally arrangements were made. On Wednesday 15th August 1883, the peninsula’s first complete record-

Western Port News 17 June 2014

ed game of Australian football took place. The match was held on the grounds near the Church of England. A most exciting game saw Gibson-Wylie’s Academy prove too good for their opponents, scoring three goals to the State School’s one. Spirits ran high amongst the jubilant academy boys as they celebrated their victory, showering adulation on their best players – Caldwell, McLellan, Jones, and Walker. The state school team was led by student teacher Joseph Worrell, and capably supported by Cavell, Everard and Martin. Joseph E Worrell jr was somewhat of a legend already in Mornington. His father had been the state school head master for almost twenty years, acting as the shire secretary in his “spare” time. At the age of 12, young Joseph would help his father post up the Shire books. Two years later, on the sudden death of his father, the 14 year-old orphan became the sole carer for two brothers and a sister. Joseph was immediately appointed as the Shire Secretary – reputably the youngest in the commonwealth – and a year or two later became clerk of works under the shire engineer. Barely out of his teens, and perhaps looking for a career change, Worrell accepted the position at Vale St as a pupil teacher in 1883. In later years he captained the Mornington Cricket Club, was secretary of numerous companies, ran a successful real estate agency in Mornington, and was president of the shire – all before his untimely death at 40 years of age. Only six months before his death in 1902, Worrell was inspecting the drainage at the “new” football oval at Alexandra Park with two of his fellow councillors, and thoughts would have turned to that schoolboy game twenty years earlier. Councillors

McLellan and Walker would have reminded him that they were on the other team, the victorious Academy. James Caldwell, aged 12, was the academy’s star player in that match. He was the eldest son of the minister of St Andrews Presbyterian church. Nine years later, James was to lose his life along with two of his brothers and nine other members of the Mornington Football Club, in the famous boating tragedy as the team returned from a practice match at Mordialloc. The Academy/Vale Street match of 1883 throws up some parallels to that earlier schoolboy game between Scotch and Melbourne Grammar in 1858. History was doubtlessly repeating itself, but it was now a better developed and more clearly organised game that was being introduced into a new environment. Ironically, a potential spectator at that Wednesday afternoon match was Dr Alexander Morrison, the longreigning headmaster of Scotch College. Soon after that famous game in 1858, Morrison had built a magnificent home on the Esplanade, CraigieLea, from where he began a lifetime of involvement in the community affairs of Mornington. The opposing Mornington headmasters were both interesting characters. James Eccleston Walker had just taken over at Vale Street in 1883. He was a “forceful and determined” man, a strong manager, and a disciplinarian who achieved excellent results for his school. Walker left an indelible mark on his school inspector and, as it turns out, an even more marked one on local sporting history. On his retirement several years later, he returned to live in Vale St where his house was eventually demolished and the land became part of the school property. On the other hand, the academy’s Hugh Gibson-Wylie had arrived in Mornington two years earlier after several attempts to run his own school. After his Clyde House Academy in Brunswick was declared insolvent, H G Wylie moved to Sale where he ran a “private academy” for a couple of years before appearing in Hamilton as the secretary of the Alexandra College for Ladies. The opportunistic Wylie must had have his eye on Mornington when, in 1881, a suitable building became available for rent. A B Balcombe, of “The Briars”, had built a 17-room mansion on The Esplanade, close to Kirk’s and The Royal, and between the Mornington Park and the Church of England. It had been used for some time as a boarding house – not too successfully in its later years, as its tenant became insolvent in 1875 and the elaborate contents were sold at auction. When Balcombe died in 1877, the property

was bought by William Armstrong, the Clerk of Petty Sessions, who already owned several nearby houses. In 1881, the new owner of the boarding house was W Irvine, who found a willing tenant with a new purpose in the schoolmaster Wylie. It was an excellent place for a school. Apart from the outstanding location, the main building was about forty feet in length and thirty wide, subdivided into a dozen rooms. At the back, only a few strides away, was a long wooden building – thirty feet by fourteen – highly suitable as a schoolroom. In 1883, the Aaademy was in its third year and, largely through its sporting endeavours, beginning to make a name for itself. On the night of Thursday 11 October, H G Wylie had retired to his bed at the usual hour and was reading a book, dozing a little – perhaps thinking of the “glory” of the football match eight weeks earlier. Term four was about to start and there was one boarder who had taken up early residence. Half-asleep, he awoke with a start to find one of his wife’s dresses, which had been hung near a candle on the bedside table, in flames. The wallpaper and part of the ceiling were also alight, and Wylie had just enough time to alert his wife and the sole boarder and hustle them outside in their night clothes. A crowd had quickly gathered in response to the rapid ringing of the church bell. In no time the old building was well alight and, in the absence of a town fire brigade, was never going to be saved. The roof caved in, the walls crashed down, and only a brick chimney and the smouldering interior remained of the two buildings. The buildings were insured by its owner, Mr Irvine, as were the contents by Mr Wylie. Nonetheless, the academy was finished. Wylie moved on to New South Wales, where he started a school in Junee. After losing his first wife, he remarried and started the Wagga Wagga Grammar School in 1890. When his young son died quite suddenly at the age of two, Wylie was so distraught that he developed severe internal disorders from which he never recovered. He passed away on Easter Monday 1893 at the age of 53 years. For the Mornington boys who played in the historic Vale Street/ Academy game in 1883, however, life went on. They would soon become young men and play their part in shaping the life of their town and beyond. Within four short years the Mornington Football Club would ring with their names and the memories of those schoolboy days. … to be continued

New clinic opening in Hastings Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre started in Tanti Ave, Mornington 10 years ago. Their clinic has recently expanded to Frankston due to the large numbers of skin cancers being detected on the Peninsula and now they are moving to Hastings! Did you know that 2 out of 3 Australians will have had a skin cancer by the age of 70! Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre is the largest of its type in Victoria, detecting more primary melanomas than the hospitals in Melbourne. The clinic found over 200 melanomas last year and quite a few thousand of the minor types of skin cancers. The good news is that most skin cancers if found early are easy to treat. Using dermoscopy, the doctors are able to see into the top layers of skin ZLWK D PDJQLĂ€HG EULJKW OLJKW ZKLFK helps them detect melanomas whilst they are very thin. Along with experienced surgeon, Dr Max Redman, the doctors are trained to

do complicated surgical techniques LQFOXGLQJ Ă DSV DQG JUDIWV LQ WKH clinics operating theatres, under local anaesthetic, so you do not need to go to hospital. The clinic also has non-invasive skin cancer treatments that can be used on minor skin cancers. At Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre the patients usually come in for either an annual full body Skin Check or Mole mapping. Melanoma, the most aggressive type of skin cancer, can appear on skin that has never been exposed to the sun, so they need to check you from top to toe. The skin cancer nurses will check your scalp, body, even between your toes, as we know melanoma can appear in these areas. The doctors will then come in and discuss with you any treatment required.

This one goes out to the Juan I love By Stuart McCullough ABDICATE. It’s a word that is seldom pressed into service. Like “sprocket” or “unitard”, it’s one of those terms that rarely intrudes on polite conversation. But all that changed when news broke that King Juan Carlos of Spain was going to vacate the throne. As soon as the breaking news flashed on the screen, I immediately fetched my “In Case of Zombie Apocalypse” backpack and headed straight for the cellar. Which, given that I live in a first floor apartment, came as something of a shock for the downstairs neighbours. Reacting as though an invasion of the undead had just been announced may seem a touch over the top to some, but it’s not every day that someone decides to throw caution to the wind and abdicate. Besides, I’ve seen several episodes of Game of Thrones and know for a fact that these things can get very messy, very quickly. This was no ordinary, run-of-themill abdication, either. According to the “breaking news” announcement that ran across the bottom of the television screen as I searched my backpack for a flare gun, King Juan Carlos was not stepping aside on a mere whim or flight of fancy. He was abdicating, so claimed the television, “for Prince”. This seemed even more astounding. Don’t get me wrong – I have several of his albums and even watched a good two thirds of Under the Cherry Moon (if, indeed, there is a good two thirds to be had). But it doesn’t mean I’d give him my job. And although, outwardly, it may seem a little odd – if not downright hasty – to step aside in favour of a five-foot tall musician and undisputed guitar-playing genius, it seems oddly inevitable that this day

PAGE 50

would come. Prince Rogers Nelson is no ordinary pop flounce. He’s a bona fide musical icon and virtuoso who would, doubtless, make a wonderful monarch. Lucky Spain, I say. Although abdication can be something of a shock, you can rest assured that Prince is ready. In fact, it’s as though he’s been waiting for this moment for ages. For decades, Prince has dressed as though he was about to ascend to the throne of something. The crushed velvet suits that were one part Austin Powers and two parts the Scarlet Pimpernel in ‘Sir Percy Blakeney’ mode. The frilliest of frilly shirts. The elaborate footwear, to

Western Port News 17 June 2014

say nothing of his enduring fondness for that most regal of colours: purple. Don’t be fooled – Prince is ready. That said, he is something of a misunderstood genius. There was that period of time during the nineties when he had a contractual dispute with his record label and changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol. Which must have made getting a dinner reservation an absolute nightmare. Imagine: our small purple hero rings his favourite restaurant to book a table only to have the maitre de ask ‘under what name’? It would have been the least of his troubles. He would no longer have been able

to label his youghurts “Property of Prince – Do Not Eat” when he put them in the band fridge. It must have driven him crazy to reach for a tub of low fat mixed berry only to find that the rhythm section had scoffed them earlier in the week. Most people wrongly thought he was crazy. It’s true that he probably acted a little strange, but maybe he was just hankering for a night out at a decent restaurant and for people to stop stealing his play lunch. It was during this time that he was christened by a world that cared little for unpronounceable symbols, “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince”.

Then, after a time, he changed his name back again. Which, technically speaking, made him “The Artist Formerly Known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince”. All that is behind him now. I can’t recall the last such major abdication. I know that King Edward VIII chucked it in to take up with Wallis Simpson. To the best of my knowledge, old Wallis couldn’t carry a tune in bucket and it was little wonder he had to quit. He left it to his brother to take over. More’s the pity. The world might have been a different place had he stood aside to let Vera Lynn snatch the reins of power. Or, if a regal name was a pre-requisite, perhaps Duke Ellington. Maybe King Juan Carlos is setting a trend. One in which monarchs bow out in favour of musical royalty. I’d love to see King Phillippe of Belgium step aside and for the Kings of Leon. It’s high time that Queen Margrethe of Denmark took the hint and let Queens of the Stone Age have a preverbial red hot go. Imagine a world where those becoming Australian citizens pledged allegiance to Queen rather than ‘the Queen’ and the whole thing ended with a communal rendition of ‘We Will Rock You’? Rock stars – your moment is now. And it all starts with Spain. I can just imagine the coronation. The pomp. The ceremony. The blistering thirty minute guitar solo that will keep a nation of Spaniards absolutely entranced. Granted, not everyone will love it. But Prince is no stranger to controversy, having released an album of that name as far back as 1981. I, for one, want to wish Prince, the new King of Spain the very best. Long may he purple rain over us. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Finding the right babysitter AS simple as it might sound, finding the right babysitter for your child can become quite a process, with a few hits and hopefully not too many misses along the way. It is so important to ensure you have someone who will enhance and enrich both yours and your children’s lives. Firstly there are many different options when sourcing a good babysitter. Of course, family or close friends are usually the best option but this is not always possible for most parents. Word of mouth is the starting point. A recommended babysitter is the best type but usually, if someone loves their babysitter, they may be unwilling to share them around. Agencies, local papers and online services are obvious options but don’t hesitate to enquire at a few local organisations such as schools, universities, childcare centres, churches and even your child’s doctor. You may be

surprised at who you might find. Once you have contact with a potential sitter it is vital you meet with them and conduct a casual interview and if possible have your child with you. Meeting at a local cafe or park or, if the sitter is under 16, in their parent’s home are more suitable locations than in your own home initially. Experts cautiously recommend that a child is not qualified for babysitting until 14. Your child’s response immediately to the applicant is a very good guide as to whether or not you have found the right person. Ask open ended questions such as “Why do you like working with children?” or “What do you like best about babysitting?” Their answers may not be worded perfectly but you should get an insight into what sort of sitter they will be. Suggest some of your house rules, such as, limited TV time or no phone use unless an emergency and watch

for a reaction. If they are into your child these facts shouldn’t concern them. Once you have selected someone, invite them over for a half hour to an hour session while you are still in the house. You can monitor how they handle different situations and how your child handles being with them. There are some signs to look out for that can confirm “the right one”. Does your child warm to them? Is the sitter genuinely happy to see your child? Have they respected your time by being punctual and prepared for child play? At the end of the session is your child clean and have they tidied any mess made along the way? Remember, a babysitter is not a housecleaner or cook. They should be focussed on your child’s needs however they need to be capable of maintaining the house and not welcoming you back to a messy, dirty home. TRUST YOUR INSTINCT. A parent knows!

Magpies wind back the clock NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt Crib Point won its first match in eight years against Sorrento on Saturday. The Magpies moved back inside the top three after a come from behind thriller against the Sharks at Crib Point Recreation Reserve. The Magpies have now beaten the two grand finalists of 2013. After leading for the large majority of the day, the Magpies almost kicked themselves out of it, finishing with 25 scoring shots to just 13. Crib Point won the game, 5.20 (50) to 7.6 (48). The Sharks booted the first three goals of the final term to jump to a nine point lead, before the Pies hit back. Jon Flack booted his third goal for the afternoon to reduce the margin to a couple of points, before skipper Luke Herrington put his side back in front with less than two minutes left on the clock. The Pies had reason to be nervous with less than 30 seconds left in the match when Sorrento’s Zac Byrns had a set shot, only to hit the post. Crib Point deserved to win this one. There was a lot of careful planning that went into the victory according to coach Duane Annable. “We were lucky enough to get a look at Sorrento last week against Rye and they were super impressive,” said Annable.

“We knew that we needed to be good for long periods to win the match. “We were all over them for most of the match and deserve to win, however, in the end, we were lucky that we did.” The Pies had a player pull out from the match during the warm up for personal reasons and went in with just 21 players. “It’s been a tough week with players getting the flu and a few injured. We went from ten guys missing out on a game with our reserves to every player getting a game,” said Annable. “Our backs were to the wall a bit but we all just had a dip. Our pressure was fantastic.” James Forecast was up from the reserves and did a great job on Leigh Poholke, while James Hallahan was also tagged. “Paul Smith went to Troy Schwarze and did a good job until Troy did a hamstring in the second quarter,” said Annable. “Zac Dekluever has been very quiet for a few weeks but he did a good job on Ben Schwarze.” Flack was the best player on the ground with three goals while Jake Bromley continued his outstanding season. Brad Arnold is also fitting in very well in the black and white. Chris Bagot and Kayle StringerMorris were the best of the Sharks. The win sees Crib Point go four points clear of Sorrento and Rye in

third place. It is the third game they have won this season by less than a goal. Hastings’ season is still alive after it led all day to beat Pearcedale. The fired-up Blues have been up and down this season but got away to a flier in the opening term to set up the win with a 23 point lead in ordinary conditions. Although the Panthers hit back in the second and third quarter, the Blues were awesome in the final 30 minutes, booting six goals to one to win 12.17 (89) to 4.7 (31). The Blues had nine goal kickers with Steven Robb playing his best senior game for the season with two majors. Justin Berry was on song, while Josh Mulheron and Dale Alanis were also dominant. The Panthers have been good in recent weeks but were no match for the Blues on Saturday. Some questions were asked of the Blues before the game and they responded. Now it’s time to bring that emotion, desire and attitude to every match from here on in. Aidan Simmons was the best of the Panthers, while Matt Smith in defence also worked hard. Red Hill returned to the winners list on Saturday, leading all day to thrash Frankston Bombers. Jarred Eames booted five goals and Sean Holmes produced some of

his best work with four goals to help their side to a 15.12 (102) to 9.6 (60) victory. Jarryd Douglas also finished with three goals after a few quiet weeks and Jake Mitchell and James McCall played their best games for the season. The match was effectively over at quarter time when the Hillmen led by 27 points at the change. Michael Maiorino booted three for the Bombers while Scott Foster, Aaron Hunter and Nathan Phillips in his first senior game were among the votes. Rosebud’s season is well and truly back on track after it smashed Somerville to the tune of almost 11 goals. The Buds had so much to prove against the Eagles and there were doubts about their ability to cover the ground as well as their opposition. However, the home side was dominant from the opening bounce and led by 50 points at half time. Greg Bentley was the best player on the ground with seven goals while Ben Shultz played his best game for a number of seasons with six majors. A firing Shultz is a scary proposition for opposition clubs. He has booted ten goals in his past two matches. Ryan Spooner and Brenton Payne also proved why they are two of the best midfielders in the caper and Brad McDonald was excellent against his old club.

Rohan Hogenbirk returned to his best after a season-ending knee injury last season and Jake Ryan continued his good form with two majors. At three quarter time on Saturday, Devon Meadows was trailing Dromana by just two straight kicks. Half an hour later, the Tigers had gone on to record a 50 point victory, 11.12 (78) to 3.10 (28). The Tigers booted six goals to two behinds in the final term, Jay Hutchison, Billy Quigley (two goals) and Ash Waterstone dominating. Jesse Dehey and Gavin Kerr were the best of the Panthers, while Pat Harmes and Chris Doria worked tirelessly for all four quarters. Aaron Findlay and Chris Gleeson booted five goals each and Ryan Semmel booted four majors in a best on ground performance for Rye against Tyabb on Saturday. Ben Holmes and Rhett Sutton were also dominant in the Demons 22.18 (150) to 7.8 (50) victory. Jake Anderson booted three majors and Rohan West a couple for the Yabbies and were among the team’s best while Justin Volk, Ash Souter and Justin Rowley in his second game were also hard workers for the Yabbies. The Demons hold down fifth position, four points clear of Hastings, Rosebud and Somerville. The Blues and Buds both have a better percentage than Rye.

Bulls go agonisingly close as Tigers grab a draw on the siren PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt KARINGAL went within a whisker of winning its first game of the season against Seaford on Saturday at the Bull Pit. Leading from the 10-minute mark of the second quarter, the Bulls looked like they were going to celebrate their first win of the season with just 30 seconds left on the clock. However, the Tigers went into attack for the final time, the ball spilled off the hands of a pack, fell into the arms of Kane Taylor and he converted to level the scores. The final siren sounded a splitsecond after the ball left Taylor’s foot. It was a disappointing result for the Bulls, who played their best game of footy for the season. For the Tigers, it was equally as disappointing. Their chance of playing finals now appear to be shot after they won their previous two games. Karingal coach Stephen Coates said the result felt like a loss. However, although he was disappointed in the end result, Coates still found positives out of the draw. “In previous matches, our younger players were having an impact on matches for five minutes here and five minutes there. Now, with greater experience, they are in the game for longer,” said Coates.

“This is where the improvement is coming from. We are able to concentrate for longer periods. “What we expect now is that the players have some belief in themselves. Seaford has been right in every game this season and we should have beaten them. We placed ourselves in a position to beat them. “It’s another learning curve for our boys and I don’t think a victory is far away. “At last now we have some points next to our name,” said Coates. The Bulls led by 13 points at half time and by three points at three quarter time. The final score was 10.7 (67) to 9.13 (67). George Angelopolous was outstanding for the Bulls, racking up 25 touches and a couple of goals in the first half. Luke Van Raay had the task on Ben Crowe and did a good job. Tom Wilkinson maintained his good form. Michael Herbert and Kane Taylor were the best of the Tigers. Frankston YCW went into its match against Langwarrin without its best two players, Ash Eames and Anthony Barry. While one of the best forwards in the game, Scott McLeod, was also missing. However, it made little difference as the Stonecats humiliated the

Kangaroos on their own turf, winning 12.8 (80) to 5.6 (36). Tony Lester dominated in his 200th club game (197 in the seconds) while Dale Carroll was left to do as he liked all afternoon with three goals. Dave Bodley also finished with three majors. Langwarrin premiership player Gerard Brown was back for a one-off appearance from Western Australia, however, had little impact. Dan Wehner was clearly the best of the Kangas, along with Michael Parker. Langwarrin don’t have a key defender or key forward across half forward and without them, will not be a challenger to the top sides. The Kangas are the sixth best side in it, behind Bonbeach, YCW, Mornington, Edithvale and Mt Eliza. The Kangas have now lost four in a row and face Mt Eliza in a seasondefining game this weekend. Mt Eliza got its season back on track with a tough, gritty eight point win against Edithvale–Aspendale. It was the return of Scott Lockwood that made all the difference, booting six goals in a best on ground display. Tim Strickland was also back for the Redlegs, as was Sam Gill, while a couple of youngsters who had been playing well previously were also back in the team. Mark Lillie and Ben Lean, along

with Karl Lombardozzi were significant in the win. Redlegs coach John Georgiou said “I guess we are back in business”. “I never like to blame injuries or misfortunes for poor form because that’s just footy, but it was good to get a few back on Saturday,” said Georgiou. “Lockwood is a jet. A freak! “To get him back, along with a few others, made a big difference to the way we looked on the footy ground. “I thought we controlled the game for the most part but struggled to score as freely as Edithvale did. “They are a very good side and just kept coming at us.” Edithvale booted the last three goals of the third quarter after the Redlegs lost a couple of players through injury. Angus Scott kicked three goals in the third quarter for the Eagles and they were able to gain the ascendancy, leading by eight points at the last change. “We lost a few in the third and they were able to take advantage of us trying to reshuffle and get things going again,” said Georgiou. “In the last quarter, we were able to win the one on one battles and I thought we fought a bit harder, which was pleasing.” Mathew Clark played his best game for the Eagles, while Markham Johnson and Timmy Mannix also worked hard.

Boys play inspiring footy on Aggers 200th HASTINGS FNC By Phil Stone Seniors: Seniors versus Pearcedale. WHAT a great day with Michael “Aggers” Agnello (pictured) playing his 200th game for the club. The boys were asked to switch on from the opening bounce and look to be in front at quarter time. So under blue skies the boys were playing a high intensity style of footy and got out to a three goal lead. All this changed in the second term when the rain came belting down. It became a dour struggle and Pearcedale came in at the half way mark only a couple of goals down. The coaching staff made some adjustments at the half-time break and we never looked back winning the game comfortably. It was a good test for the boys. Their concentration levels for the day were outstanding. They raised the bar. Next week we’ll be off to Rye, which will be another exciting contest. Go Blues! Reserves: The reserves played a much more committed and desperate Pearcedale outfit who were first to the ball for three quarters until our boys finally decided to play the same. It was a little too late going down by a point. The group will learn from this loss and hopefully will come out next game from the start and leave no stone unturned. If they keep working on the track like they have since preseason their run of outs will turn around. Under 18’s: Underdogs Tyabb-Hastings pulled off a huge upset against second place Pearcedale in their round eight home game. Twenty-three point victors, players and

The fourth quarter saw a huge momentum change as the home side ran away with the match. Full of run and confidence they ran the second place side ragged, booting an impressive five goal quarter and restricting them to just the one. With that win, dreams of finals berth are still alive. Tyabb-Hastings play Rye next week in what should be a huge game for the boys

coaches alike were delighted after the win as the away side had only lost one game in their previous seven matches. Eighteen points adrift at quarter time, Tyabb-Hastings had some work to do. Second to the ball and low on intensity, it seemed it could have been a blow out. Pearcedale failed to score during the second quarter as Tyabb-Hastings turned up the heat. It wasn’t a pretty contest but a good scrap for both sides. Reducing the margin to three points at half time, a fantastic third quarter set up the unlikely victory. As the goals started to flow towards the end of the quarter it was Tyabb-Hastings that pinched a late goal to stay within two points. Small forward Ryan McCusker was clever around goals and slotted four, while backmen Zack Dollisson and Brock Regan were massive across the half back line providing a rock-solid defence.

Netball: We welcomed Pearcedale to our home courts this week in what was set to be a close encounter especially in the A grade. We also welcomed 4 seasons in a day! The C grade girls are continuing to show improvement, learning the fundamentals of the game and are having a good time doing it which is great. They show great Blueys spirit even when they are down. Well done girls. B grade started strong but unfortunately Pearcedale got on top of the girls in the second quarter and they were unable to maintain the tempo for the remainder of the match. It was a good game to try new combinations and the girls adjusted well to this. It was always going to be tough for the A graders with three of our usual starting line up out with injury this week. The girls faced a physical Pearcedale and the game was tight for the first three quarters. After the three quarter time break Pearcedale got the jump on our girls and with eight minutes to go a massive thunderstorm rolled over. The girls tried their best to claw back the deficit but with six minutes left on the clock the weather was far too dangerous for the girls to continue and a decision was made by the coaches to pull the girls off the court. A shame that we didn’t have those last six minutes to see if we could get the win!

Pines caused the upset of the season, beating Mornington by a goal, 11.10 (76) to 10.10 (70). The Pythons were in control of the match for the majority and deserved to get the four points. Coach Steve Ryan said it was his team’s best four quarter effort for the season. “There is no doubt the conditions played into our hands and they went into the match with a very big side. It was too big I think,” said Ryan. “For the first time this year though, our boys didn’t drop in their concentration. “They have set the standard now in what we can expect in the second half of the season,” he said. Shaun White booted four goals for the Pythons while Chris Guganovic and Nick Wilcox shone. Jackson Calder booted five for the Doggies to be their best, while Warwick Miller and Chris Paxino were also fine players. Bonbeach completed the expected and got the points against Chelsea. In a tight tussle, the Sharks led by six points, 11 points and 12 points at each break, before winning 7.7 (49) to 4.4 (28). Gary Carpenter was Bonbeach’s best for the second week on the trot while Zac Graham and Jayden Attard were superb for the Gulls.

Pies bounce back CRIB POINT FNC

By Jared Newton AFTER a mini stumble a fortnight earlier against Pearcedale, Crib Point bounced back to the winners list with a 2 point win over Sorrento in miserable conditions at Crib Point. Despite being the dominant team for nearly all day, Crib Point almost gave the game away with ordinary kicking posting an amazing 5.20 to Sorrento’s 7.6. After a promising start, the Magpies jumped out to a 10 point lead at quarter time and did not trail at any of the breaks despite not adding a goal until midway through the final term. Crib Point kicked 15 consecutive behinds through the middle stages of the game and despite playing better football than their opponents, were unable to put Sorrento away. Defensively the Magpies had no issues thwarting Sorrento avenues to goal with Zak Dekleuver doing a demolition job on Ben Schwarze who had no impact all day. Despite the dominance, it was always a matter of time when Sorrento responded and early int he final term they came to life and led by 10 points with under 10 minutes to go. Despite the declaration of ‘game over’ to the bench, Crib were not to be denied and again it was the heroics of John Flack with 3 goals and Luke Herrington with the sealer from a stoppage in the forward line that pinched the lead. Sorrento had their chances to pinch the game back in the dying minutes but hit the post sealing Crib’s first win over the Sharks in over 10 years. At 6-2, the Magpies are in a healthy position but cannot make the same mistakes by taking Tyabb lightly this week at the Yabby Pond. The reserves good run came to an end when they were defeated by a solitary kick by Sorrento in the midday game. It was a spirited display by the Magpies in an arm wrestle of a contest all day, but it was Sorrento with their noses at front when the final siren sounded. The upsides for the reserves is they are consistent every week now and with quite a few changes to the side this week, many newcomers were able to come in and play their role. At 4-4 it’s not the most ideal position and it limits the margin for error but the teams destiny still lies in their own hands. The under 18s continued their solid improvement with another strong showing against a top 5 side in Sorrento with a 10 point loss. The thrashings of the early rounds seem to be behind them and their performances are improving each week. The unders are really starting to gel as a unit and if they continue to stick together they will add some wins to their tally before the year’s out. Western Port News 17 June 2014

‘Aggers’ joins the 200 club By Vic Jeremiah - Hastings Football Club Historian WITH club swapping, high transfer deals, a lack of overall loyalty, and numerous other demanding issues, constantly becoming more prevalent in modern day football, it is most gratifying to salute a footballer who has contributed 200 senior games all played at the one club. Popular Hastings player Michael Agnello recently became only the 12th player in the overall history of the club to achieve this magical mile stone. In the year 1989 at the age of 11 years Michael Agnello, like most young boys of similar age, decided that he would like to begin playing competitive football. The only draw-back to the young lad’s ambitions was that his parents did not give approval to their youngster’s wished, as they considered football to be too rough and tough and they did not fancy their boy becoming injured. However, not to be deterred, the very keen and devoted young sportsman went behind their backs and began training with Fountain Gate Junior Football Club – affiliated with Dandenong & District Junior Football League. This small problem eventually led to a confrontation between parents, player and coach and fortunately young “Aggers” was given the okay to continue on with what was to become a much decorated football career. In his first season of Junior football in 1989, Michael became captain of the F.G.J.F.C. under 12’s and won the Best & Fairest award and became an Inter-League representative. For the following three years he again won each of these same three league awards and was honoured with Junior Life Membership in 1994. In 1993 he had advanced to playing with Endeavour Hills Junior Football Club under 16’s, were he won the club Best & Fairest award, the League best & fairest and made the Stingrays final list of 50. The following year he managed to play every game with the Stingrays under 18’s and got drafted to the Brisbane Bears at pick 84. In the year 1995 he was appointed captain of the Stingrays and also captain of the Victorian Metro side that played Vic Country. Between 1996 and the year 2000 his playing days were spent with the Frankston Dolphins Seniors & reserves and he played in the 1997 Dolphins Reserves Premiership team.

At the halfway mark of the 2000 season he suffered a broken hand and did not play football again until 2002. Michael was a spectator at the 2001 M.P.N.F.L. Grand Final at Mornington in which the Hastings Football Club suffered a most humiliating 129 point loss to Mornington. Fortunately for the H.F.C. “Aggers” best make Damon Lawrence was starring for the ‘The Blues’ and he persuaded his mate to come and play football for Hastings in 2002, thus eliminating some of the doom and gloom of the Premiership loss. The signing of Agnello proved to be a major coup for the H.F.C. where his overall dedication and popularity with team mates earned him the captaincy of the side in 2007, a position he held for the following 6 years. He won H.F.C. seniors Best & Fairest honours in 2005-8-10 and was a worthy recipient of ‘Life Membership’ in 2011. The football career of Michael Agnello received a severe set back when during the 2nd game of 2007 season he obtained a rare infection in his right hand thumb, which eventually led to life threatening surgery. At this stage it appeared that his football days had been tragically cut short, and it is one of footballs heart warming stories that not only was this fine sportsman able to make a full and satisfactory recovery, but also in the following year of 2008, he was able to resume and regain his place on the field and continue on to contribute 200 senior games for his beloved ‘Blues’. Apart from the games lost through injury in 2007 he has missed playing on only five other occasions, and at all times during his career at H.F.C. he has travelled weekly from his home in Narre Warren South, which has proven to be a remarkable display of loyalty and commitment. His conduct both on and off the field has been exemplary, ad he would be a perfect role model for any aspiring young footballer wishing to attain further Aussie rules success. The Hastings Football Club as a whole can proudly boast of being the most successful club in M.P.F.L. – M.P.N.F.L. football history and can also, like many other clubs, feel very proud of the many wonderfully gifted sportsmen and highly respected gentlemen who have graced the club throughout its long and colourful existence. Very high on that list of celebrities would be the name of Michael Agnello. Congratulations and well played “Aggers”.
