Shipshape sub centre By Graham White THE proposed Victorian Maritime Centre in Hastings has officially taken possession of its second vessel with historic MV Wyuna joining the submarine HMAS Otama as marquee attractions. Western Australian businesswoman and mining investor Gillian Swaby handed over Wyuna before an audience of 80 volunteers and supporters at the museum’s headquarters in Crib Point on Friday night. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden described the gift as “more than the gift of a ship; it is an

economic boost to a deserving community”. Cr Bowden predicted the twin attractions, backed by onshore displays, would make Hastings a tourism destination in its own right, drawing thousands into a “delightful seaside community that too many now bypass”. Wyuna is being overhauled in Launceston before the voyage to Hastings where she will be temporarily moored until the new museum is built adjacent to Western Port Marina. Project spokesman Max Bryant said the ship would provide the maritime centre with more than just another historic attraction: she is capable of sleep-

ing 70 and would be ideal for live-in education programs. The 1800-tonne Wyuna has an indelible place in Victorian maritime history. Originally envisaged as a sister ship to Royal Yacht Britannia, she was reconfigured as a seagoing pilot ship at the behest of the Victorian government. For almost two decades after her completion in 1952 she met new arrivals off Port Phillip Heads and sent pilots aboard to guide them into the Port of Melbourne. When it was decided a small vessel might do the job cheaper, Wyuna became a training vessel for a generation of Australian merchant seamen.

Later she was bought by mining magnate (and now would-be politician) Clive Palmer to be used as a floating hotel for one of his Queensland projects. This did not go ahead and Wyuna was acquired by another mining company with which Ms Swaby has an association. When the maritime centre project team learned of the ship’s history and her long links with Victoria, they approached Ms Swaby to see if they might acquire the vessel. Impressed by the project and by the volunteer support that has brought it to this point, Ms Swaby agreed not only

to donate the ship but also to provide help in restoring it to seagoing condition for the journey to Hastings. Legal formalities began in Melbourne last week for the transfer of ownership and Ms Swaby travelled to Crib Point on Friday to make the formal presentation. Thanking Ms Swaby, Western Port Chamber of Commerce chief Lisa Dixon said the gift would be an enduring legacy to a town that had thrown its support behind the museum project to enhance the region’s tourism appeal and would create a much-needed additional strand of prosperity.

November opening for pool cafe By Keith Platt THE former Waterfront Cafe near Hastings pier is about to reopen with a new name and new managers. The Pelikan Societe will continue to serve breakfast and lunch, but with a new menu and possibly afternoon functions. Mornington Peninsula Shire last week agreed to lease the cafe – part of Pelican Park Recreation Centre – to Toula Bradshaw and Michael Greener. They will continue to run their Cafe Villa, in Langhorne St, Dandenong, Mr Greener told The News. The $70,000-a-year lease includes GST, equipment and furniture, although Mr Greener said new tables and chairs would be brought in as part of an upgrade. He said they planned to open Pelikan Societe on Friday 8 November “or earlier if possible”. The previous tenant walked away from the business in July, citing the annual $96,000 a year rent as being too high. Scott Elks, who was also running Western Port Hotel, had been leasing the Waterfront Cafe for just on a year and wanted the rent reduced. He said he gave up asking after being repeatedly promised by council officers that councillors would be told of his request. “But it was not listed on any agenda and that’s what tipped me over the edge,” Mr Elks said at the time. Councillors last week agreed to grant a 21-year lease to Ms Bradshaw and Mr Greener. They were given immediate access

to the cafe with assurances they could recoup up to $15,000 in expenses if the deal fell through after being advertised for four weeks. Granting immediate access to the new tenants was designed to allow them to complete an upgrade and open as soon as the four-week advertising period ended. Mr Greener said the menu had yet

to be worked out with the chef “but we’ve got some great ideas”. “We’ll have a totally different menu. It will be wholesome food and there will be a lot of changes to the cafe, which is looking a bit tired.” The dispute between the shire and Mr Elks led to the loss of four full-time jobs and six to 10 casual positions. Mr Greener said he would “play it by

ear” on staffing, although Pelikan Societe could have six to eight staff. Under the terms of the new lease, Mr Greener and Ms Bradshaw will not face a rent review for three years and then in years seven, 10, 13, 16 and 19. Councillors voted to make their decision on the lease public but kept a related report secret.

New traffic lights for Somerville shopping centre NEW traffic lights will be installed at Somerville on Eramose Road West outside one of the town’s shopping centres, with work to begin this month. Mornington Peninsula Shire will soon start construction of a signalised intersection at the entrance to Somerville Plaza shopping centre. Watson Ward councillor and Mornington Peninsula mayor Lynn Bowden said she was pleased that construction would finally start on the long-awaited lights. “There has been extensive community consultation throughout the development of the intersection design, and we’re looking forward to the installation of the lights,” she said. The lights will help to safely control the movements of pedestrians and vehicles crossing Eramosa Road West and entering Somerville Plaza car park and break up traffic flow. Works will involve the construction of a signalised intersection on Eramosa Road West at the entrance to Somerville Plaza, the widening of Eramosa Road West, modification of traffic islands and footpaths, and signage and linemarking upgrades.

Fish champion of the waves Western Port

Western Port News 17 September 2013

FLINDERS surfer Georgia Fish (pictured) is the Victorian open women’s champion after winning every one of her heats at Bells Beach. Her win comes after a quarter finals finish at the Pantin Classic Women’s worlds qualifying series event in Spain. At Bells, Fish put the whole field in a combination situation in the final with a total heat score of 13.50 (out of a possible 20). The win gave her the state open title after winning the Phillip Island event earlier in the year. Second was Kelly Laity of Sandy Point with Grace Day of Jan Juc third and Sapphire Main of Point Lonsdale fourth.

The same 4-5 foot waves saw Cahill Bell-Warren win the men’s of what was the final stop of the Toll Victorian Open Series. His victory placed him third overall in the ratings. “It was super hard out there in the final. The swell was inconsistent and the wind had turned strong onshore, but there was still some fun ones if you were patient,” BellWarren said. Finn Barry of Apollo Bay came second, Caiden Fowler of Blairgowrie third and Jack Perry of Jan Juc fourth. Former WCT surfer Glyndyn Ringrose, of Phillip Island, claimed the men’s open title earlier in the year.

Kabir gets a lift from polio ‘walk’ A WALK across Hastings foreshore to raise money for Polio Australia raised $1300, but for Fran Henke it wasn’t a walk. Unable to join fellow polio survivors in Melbourne on 7 September for the annual Walk with Me, Mrs Henke on her mobility scooter (which she calls “Modestine”) decided to take her two dogs across the foreshore to do the two- to four-kilometre target aimed for by the Melbourne teams. With the support of dog wrangler Gail Lynch of Crib Point, the four set off along the boardwalk to the foreshore and went as far as Western Port Marina. This was fine for Mrs Henke on her powered scooter, but getting home proved a challenge for at least one of the four-legged participants. Kabir, a Tibetan spaniel, had to be carried by home by Ms Lynch. “Last year the dogs and I with Gail scooted around the foreshore on the scooter and raised a modest amount for Polio Australia,” Mrs Henke said. “This year we wanted to raise an immodest amount because having had polio in 1946 and going through the various stages of anguish again over the deteriorating condition in later age, I am passionate about finding other polios and ensuring they understand what’s happening and have proper medical support, particularly when undergoing surgery. “Vaccination is another vital issue. Why should another child go through the paralysis, pain and lifelong problems for themselves and family that we experienced?” Polio Australia was established to provide information to polios, health professionals, government and the public. NSW teams set off on Friday with the target of raising $9000 and at last count had more than $6000. Mrs Henke is now intent on improving conditions around Hastings for scooter users. “On a recent trip into Hastings I was nearly thrown off by a bad transition from roadway to pavement.” Mrs Henke said area shire councillor David Garnock has offered to do the trip by scooter with her next month.

Helping hand: Gail Lynch with Kabir, the dog who just couldn’t make the distance during Hastings resident Fran Henke’s “walk” for polio on the town’s foreshore.

Bush connection THE public is invited to join an informative ecological walk at Somerville this weekend as part of a national Bushcare campaign that aims to connect people to their local environment. Mornington Peninsula Landcare groups have organised the free bushwalk to explore Somerville’s ecologically significant heathland, swamp scrub and saltmarsh as well as learn about threats posed by weeds and feral animals. Peninsula fauna ecologist Mal Legg will lead the walk and provide insights into the animals that inhabit the area, such as numerous species of frogs, birds and reptiles. Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Lynn Bowden said the bushwalk was the first step in the reformation of the Watson Creek Catchment Landcare group. “The Watson Creek area is so important ecologically. It covers a large area from Baxter and Pearcedale through Tyabb to Somerville and Hastings,” Cr Bowden said. Mornington Peninsula Landcare facilitator Jacqui Salter said it was hoped that bringing people into contact with local bushland would help the community develop a greater sense of ownership and connection with the land. The Bushcare Major Day Out Somerville event is on Sunday 22 September, with walkers leaving from the end of Bungower Rd, Somerville, at 11am. It is open to people of all ages, including children, but bookings are essential. Contact Jacqui Salter by email at jacqueline.salter@mornpen. vic.gov.au or call 5950 1279 or 0408 213 079.

Equine topics on Landcare agenda THEREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;LL be plenty of horsing around at the Mornington Peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest Landcare group where equine topics will be the focus of attention. Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare Group aims to assist horse owners access information and support on sustainable horse management. The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first meeting will be held on Saturday at Boneo Park Equestrian Centre and follows the successful establishment of similar equine Landcare groups in neighbouring areas. Mornington Peninsula Landcare facilitator Jacqui Salter, who organised the meeting, said she had received a high level of interest from horse owners and expected an enthusiastic response. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a great turnout at our horse property management course and horse owners are keen to further their knowledge of sustainable horse management through the formation of a Landcare group,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ownership of horses required thoughtful land management, especially in light of their comparatively large size and hard hooves, Ms Salter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Owners sometimes despair as they see their paddocks turn to dust in summer and mud in winter; but there are experts who can help them manage their land so their horses are in the best of condition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and so is their land.â&#x20AC;? The Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare Group will offer support, information and workshops for horse owners and property managers.

Sustainable horse management includes topics such as the importance of perennial pastures, the benefits of rotational grazing, use of sacrificial paddocks, weed control, and use of vegetation for shade and shelter. Ms Salter said although Landcare groups had been historically based around particular catchment areas, equine groups were rapidly spreading across the state, with groups already established in Mitchell, South Gippsland and the Yarra Valley. Members of the Yarra Valley group will attend the inaugural Mornington Peninsula meeting to share their experiences. Boneo Park owner Rob McNaught will give attendees an insight into the major restoration work being undertaken on the property â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition to being a well-respected establishment for horses, Boneo Park is one of the most ecologically significant areas on the Mornington Peninsula,â&#x20AC;? Ms Salter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has 50 hectares of the endangered Moonah woodland and 150 hectares of wetlands. We thank Rob and Boneo Park for kindly offering to host our first meeting.â&#x20AC;? Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare Group will meet 2-4pm on Saturday 21 September at Boneo Park Equestrian Centre, 312 Boneo Rd, Boneo. To find out more, contact Jacqui Salter by email at jacqueline.salter@ mornpen.vic.gov.au or call 5950 1279 or 0408 213 079.

EPA ‘no’ to quarry tip plan By Mike Hast THE Environment Protection Authority has knocked back an application for a rubbish tip, or landfill, in the old Pioneer quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment at Dromana. It was announced on Friday morning with the EPA saying the proposal did not comply with “threshold issues around groundwater, construction design and management”. The decision is a blow to tip proponent Peninsula Waste Management and its owner R E Ross Trust as well as Mornington Peninsula Region Waste Management Group of which Mornington Peninsula Shire is the sole member. The waste group had earmarked the quarry as a potential tip site in the late 1990s. PWM wanted the old quarry on Boundary Rd for up to 150,000 tonnes of municipal waste a year for up to 20 years. Less than one-third of the waste would have come from the Mornington Peninsula with the balance from other municipalities. The proposal generated massive opposition and the formation of a highpowered lobby group, Peninsula Preservation Group. It was formed soon after the plan became public in late January (“Arthurs Seat tip plan”, Southern Peninsula News, 24/1/13) and members included successful business people, lawyers, scientists, doctors and teachers. More than 20,000 peninsula residents and others had signed paper and electronic petitions objecting to the

tip. Thousands had attended protest meetings and a rally in Dromana, and an EPA conference in Mornington. In the decision posted on the EPA’s website on Friday, it stated the tip did not comply with the state government’s Waste Management Policy 2004 on “the siting, design and management of the landfill”. The plan was “inconsistent with the objectives, principles and approach of the Victorian government’s new waste and resource recovery policy and EPA statutory policy”. “In addition, the location of the ... site does not align with the modelling undertaken by MWMG [Melbourne Waste Management Group] and Sustainability Victoria on the optimum locations for strategic hubs,” the EPA said. This is a reference to a recently announced state government plan, Get-

ting Full Value, for “an integrated, statewide waste management and resource recovery system that provides an essential community service by protecting the environment and public health, maximising the productive value of resources, and minimising longterm costs to households, industry and government”. The government wants to establish hubs where municipal waste can be sorted into recyclables and green waste converted into mulch to reduce the amount going to tips, or landfills. The Pioneer quarry site does not have enough space for such a hub. The government is cutting the state’s 12 regional waste groups to six and forcing the peninsula waste group to join the Melbourne metro group. Peninsula Preservation Group president Jacinta Banks said the group was pleased with the EPA’s decision. “The plan was flawed and this is why there was such a high level of opposition,” she said. Ms Banks said the group hoped PWM and Ross Trust “would abide by the umpire’s decision and not challenge the EPA decision in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal as it has publically stated”. Nepean MP Martin Dixon welcomed the decision and said it was “a great result for the local community”. He said the EPA had based its “decision on recent changes to” state government policy. “Under new landfill guidelines we recently introduced, the Environment Protection Authority has ruled there

is now no need for a further landfill in this area.” Mr Dixon said the government’s decision to close Mornington Peninsula Region Waste Management Group and merge it with greater Melbourne’s waste management network meant “there are now more metropolitan waste disposal options open to the Mornington Peninsula”. “I am very pleased these new government policies have led to this decision, which is consistent with the overwhelming wishes of both our local and broader community.” On Friday afternoon, Peninsula Waste Management said it was “perplexed by the EPA decision”. PWM chairman Ian Vaughan said the old quarry had been listed as a replacement for Rye landfill by Mornington Peninsula Region Waste Management plan and had been “endorsed by the EPA”. He said the EPA had rejected a “practical, lowest-cost solution … in favour of an as yet unidentified solution”. Without the quarry, “waste will have to be transported long distances and there will have to be a transfer station on the peninsula for kerbside collection vehicles”, which would cost $1015 million to construct. Residents would have to pay $60 a tonne extra to take rubbish to landfill once the Hampton Park landfill closed and this would see rate rises, he said. “We will try to understand the reasoning behind the EPA’s decision and then consider our options,” Mr Vaughan said.

Shire ‘in the loop’ at Point Nepean MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors are confident the state government will keep them “in the loop” about developments in Point Nepean National Park. The government is assessing expressions of interest for commercial enterprises in the park as well as considering conditions for a special use zone and lease conditions. The shire manages Police Point Park, which shares a boundary with the 560-hectare national park. The council reaffirmed its support of the Point Nepean Park master plan at a meeting in August, “noting” that “issues” it needed to address included its proposed involvement in the preparation of a development plan under the special use zone, to be approved by the Minister for Environment acting as the planning authority, and its future role as a responsible authority for the administration of future planning controls.

A better way to obtain a divorce By Jacqueline Conquest A GROWING number of separating families are choosing family lawyers to help them work together rather than fight. The breakdown of a significant relationship is one of the most difficult experiences in life. Separating couples are faced with the challenge of trying to deal with the emotions and conflict that comes with relationship breakdown while trying to work out what’s best for their children and how to reallocate finances. It’s a difficult task for anyone and sorting out the issues usually requires the help of a family lawyer. Given the emotional complexities of family separation, and the impact of conflict on children, a growing number of separating families are now seeking family lawyers who practice collaboratively to help them manage their separation. Collaborative practice means lawyers help separating families to work together (or collaboratively) to work out children and financial issues during this emotionally difficult time. Collaborative practice is an alternative to traditional legal practice and not all family lawyers practice this way. Traditional legal practice is adversarial in nature. This means that each lawyer and their client is “opposed” to the other. The bigger picture of what’s best for the separating family as a whole is lost. Unresolved conflict between parents is extremely damaging for children. The impact of conflict on children and family relationships is made worse when parties

are locked in a bitter, adversarial battle over entitlements. In collaborative practice, the lawyers are not “hired guns” to battle it out in court. Rather, lawyers work together to help clients focus on the bigger picture of what’s best for themselves and their children now and into the future. Collaborative practice is wholistic and draws on the resources of other professionals in the community where needed to assist the separating couple. Mediators, psychologists and health care workers can be involved in the process to assist with managing conflict, enhancing communication between the parties, and mediating aspects of the dispute. They can also help with parenting issues. The benefits to families of collaborative practice are that separating families have the opportunity to make best use of the resources available to them to achieve beneficial outcomes, rather than on wasting resources fighting legal battles. The outcome of the separation process results in court orders or a financial agreement or parenting plan. The important point for couples is to know in most cases they have a choice about which process they want to use and what sort of lawyer they want to engage.  Jacqueline Conquest is an accredited family law specialist, collaborative lawyer and founding principal of Walls Bridges at Southern Partners in Mornington.

Curtain closer: IKARII bandmates Riki Platt, left, Mike Power, Sean Marsh and Tim Haberfield are set to play one last series of concerts and release an new album before leaving the stage as a group.

IKARII hits the final chord THE Frankston and Mornington Peninsula-based rock band IKARII is breaking up. The group’s four members made the announcement to their Facebook friends last week. “After seven years of playing music in IKARII with three people who have become my closest friends, I have decided it is time to move on and embrace other aspects of life,” guitarist Mike Power wrote in a letter to fans. “After telling the guys, they all agreed that if I left they wouldn't replace me as it wouldn’t be the same IKARII.”

The timing of the split comes as the band – Power, Sean Marsh (guitar, vocals), Riki Platt (drums) and Tim Haberfield (bass) – was about to release a new album recorded and written over the past two years. The ironically titled Never is a Long Time, due in early October, will still be released and coincide with what will now be a farewell tour. “We are definitely still releasing the album and have never been more excited to do so,” Power said. “These are some our best tracks,

carefully crafted over the past two years.” A music video of The Darkest Blue, from the band’s new album, is on YouTube. IKARII’s final Victorian regional tour will be in October and November with its last Frankston gig at Bar Twelve on Saturday 5 October. The band’s final show will be at Cherry Bar, AC/DC Lane, Melbourne, on Friday 8 November. Go to www.facebook.com/ ikariirock for tour dates. Never is a Long Time will be available digitally on iTunes from 5 October.

Award for sea care program AN INNOVATIVE program that teaches school children the environmental importance of marine life in Port Phillip Bay and Western Port Bay has received state-wide recognition. The Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute received a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Community Action and Partnershipâ&#x20AC;? category award for its â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i sea, i careâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; school ambassador program at the 2013 Victorian Coastal Awards for Excellence last week. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i sea, i careâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; initiative promotes the message that marine ecosystems and species are â&#x20AC;&#x153;too precious to loseâ&#x20AC;?. Its ambassador program visits schools to spread this message and recruit student educators to help their classmates understand how the actions of those living near marine areas can put marine life at risk. Dolphin Research Institute executive director Jeff Weir said the program exists thanks to the support of many partners, including the City of Kingston who shared the award with the institute as a leading council partner. Many Kingston area schools have participated in the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very proud of our young ambassadors and our wonderful team,â&#x20AC;? Mr Weir said. The Victorian Coastal Awards for Excellence are awarded by the Victorian Coastal Council, which provides advice to the Victorian Minister for Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith on the strategic planning and management of the Victorian coast. Mr Smith presented the award to Mr Weir and Dolphin Research Institute education director Mandy Robertson at a function held at Melbourne Museum.

Friends rally behind Jayden By Keith Platt THIS time last year, Jayden Davies was preparing to play grand finals for the Frankston Dolphins under-15 and under-16 teams. There was a bit of pain in his chest, but this came from a benign osteoblastoma tumour doctors had diagnosed on one of his ribs. Between November 2012 and March this year, Jayden played cricket for Baden Powell, although pain from the tumour limited his bowling. In April surgeons removed the rib and tumour, providing pain relief for Jayden and giving him the all-clear to again play sport. However, in late June and early July the now 17-year-old experienced pain in his knees. Specialists at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre conducted more tests, which revealed new tumours caused by the aggressive bone cancer osteocarcoma. Tumours were found in Jayden’s knee, pelvic bone and chest. “The news came to us with a thud; it was a big shock and there are days now when we feel pretty ordinary,” Jayden’s father Lindsay told The News. “They told us it couldn’t be cured; there were too many bones involved. “Jayden is a very tough boy who’s endured a lot of pain and is inspiring a lot of people.” A fundraiser in Mornington last week to allow Mr Davies and his wife Tahlea to spend more time with their

son was attended by about 400 people. “Jayden came for a couple of hours with a few close mates, but we had to make sure he didn’t tire himself out,” Mr Davies said. Jayden was last week into his second week of radiotherapy and

undergoes chemotherapy later this month. “They’re trying to shrink the tumours and he’s also on medication for pain relief,” Mr Davies said. “Two weeks ago he was limping, but now the treatment seems to be relieving

some of the pain and is helping keep him mobile.” Before being struck by the illness, Jayden had completed year 10 at Frankston High School and was enrolled with Sport Education Development Australia with hopes of

becoming a teacher or having a role in sports management. In late July he was thrilled to spend “a very special day” meeting many of his football heroes at a Richmond training session arranged by one of the Mt Eliza Football Club coaches. However uncertain the future, Mr Davies is grateful and overwhelmed by the efforts being made by so many people to help Jayden. He had been reluctant to seek help from the public, but friends had persuaded him that there were many people who would like to contribute. A storeman with a Springvale company, Mr Davies said his employer was sympathetic to his plight and would allow him to spend more time with Jayden if it was financially possible. “We don’t know what the future holds, but Jayden is very strong and determined. He struggles with pain and the effects of medications and treatments, but he doesn’t complain.” Anyone who would like to help Jayden and the Davies family can go to www.facebook.com/ jaydendaviessupport or call Michelle Roberts on 0478 082 646.

Youngster’s fall draws needed attention TWO-year-old Pippa Nyssen spent unexpected time in hospital after falling and bumping her head at her Mt Eliza home. Pippa’s mother Corinne Nyssen was scared when she found Pippa with a large blue bump on the top of her head. Ms Nyssen and her husband realised she was starting to go to sleep and, concerned that she may be suffering from concussion, called an ambulance. “I had done a first aid course when Pippa was three months old through KidzAid,” Ms Nyssen said. “While I was really worried that she might have seriously hurt herself, I remembered them saying that if you are unsure, call an ambulance. “You can always cancel an ambulance but you can’t call one if it’s too late.” After the ambulance arrived, paramedics decided to take Pippa to Frankston Hospital’s emergency department for a further examination and observation. Hospital staff assessed Pippa in the paediatric room and diagnosed her as having a moderate head injury. She was moved to the short stay ward for further observation. “The staff kept me informed the whole time I was there,” Ms Nyssen said. “It was a real educational experience too, I learnt when to administer Panadol and they provided me with additional information on head injuries.” Pippa is making a speedy recovery. When asked what advice she would give to oter parents in a similar situation, Ms Nyssen said: “Ask

Holiday magic

questions when you are in the hospital. They will always be happy to answer you and often you will find useful information that you never knew. “One of the questions I asked was

‘what symptoms would I look for to identify if she was concussed?’ These questions also put your mind at ease. We have to remember [young children] have no voice [and] we as their parents are their only advocate.”

Home safe: Toddler Pippa Nyseen back home with mum Pippa after spending time at Frankston Hospital.

A home of grand proportions MEASURING 353 square metres, this impressive double-storey home has an abundance of space both inside and out that will be perfect for a family on the move. From the wide formal entry, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a comfortable lounge positioned on the right while across the hall is a separate study. Polished floorboards lead through into a wonderful family living zone incorporating a gleaming galley-style kitchen with a host of cupboard space, including a pantry. Appliances include a stainless-steel wall oven and dishwasher. There is an adjoining dining alcove and the spacious casual lounge has a wood-effect gas heater. A brilliant design affords the home a pleasing, open environment. There is hardly an enclosed space to be found, generating a terrific flow from room to room. A rumpus room will accommodate the pool table with ease, and outside entertaining will be a breeze with a splendid undercover patio overlooking the rear garden and complemented with landscaped gardens to the side. A total of five bedrooms includes a palatial master bedroom with walk-in robe and an ensuite with spa bath. Remaining bedrooms all have built-in robes and share the main bathroom.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Everybody wants to twerk (but me) By Stuart McCullough SO it has come to this – mankind’s endless quest to discover what lies beyond the bottom of the barrel has given us ‘twerking’. Never again will we be forced to ‘flash mob’, go ‘planking’ or perform the Harlem Shake because now we have something even stupider to do. Yes, it seems the fickle finger of fate is both pointed skywards and surrounded by two other fingers on either side as the letters ‘I’ and ‘Q’ are officially removed from the alphabet, pending a review. Where did it all go wrong? I’ve nothing against dancing. Indeed, I’m one of the few people I know who owns a copy of Footloose on both VHS and Betamax. If that doesn’t sound convincing, you should know that I frequently wear leg warmers to work on days other than casual Friday and take the notion of cutting the rug so seriously that I never go anywhere without scissors. But despite my passion for dancing, I cannot abide the appalling social phenomenon that is to ‘twerk.’ That said, at least the name is apt. One thing I love about dancing is that the moves are often appropriately named. ‘The Twist’ is exactly as it sounds. So too ‘the Jerk’. Sure, things start to get a little hazy around ‘The Bus Stop’ and the less said about ‘The Mashed Potato’ the better, but no system is infallible. However, for all the controversy it attracts, we can at least say that ‘twerking’ is the perfect name, because anyone doing it looks like a complete and utter twerk. Apparently, twerking has taken social media by storm. By ‘storm’ I don’t

PAGE 44

mean a few drops of rain and a puff of breeze but, rather, the kind of deluge that destroys umbrellas and ruins your guttering. Many people have been quick to point the big foam finger in the direction of Miley Cyrus, but those people are simply twerks-come-lately who don’t understand the complex history of twerking. To grasp this most heinous of phenomena, it’s necessary to go right back to the beginning. For those unfamiliar with this particular dance style, let me come right out and say it’s a long way from the foxtrot. It is, however, probably the biggest dance phenomenon we’ve seen since Peter Andre’s Funky Junky swept across Melbourne’s south eastern suburbs in 1993. To ‘twerk’ involves a dancer moving his or her hips

Western Port News 17 September 2013

in a vigorous motion in order to cause their buttocks to wobble like a plate of day-old jelly. Granted, right now it looks somewhat shocking, but in fifty years time, couples will be twerking at their weddings. The earliest recorded twerk was in June 1776, when noted polymath Benjamin Franklin first performed the controversial dance during a break from drafting the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was heard to remark at the time: “Some things, once seen, can never be unseen”. Indeed, a fear that Ben Franklin might have a couple of sherries and twerk some more helped ensure the Declaration remained a relatively concise document. Naturally enough, the practice had

spread to Europe by the early nineteenth century. Mostly it was act performed in the dingiest and most squalid of public houses, where liquor ran freely and buttocks shook into the small hours. For that reason, it remained something of an underground movement until in 1838 it threatened to break in to the broader public consciousness. The original draft of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens had the eponymous hero’s request for “more” greeted with a severe outbreak of twerking by Mr Bumble. Thankfully, the scene was excised from the novel and the dance remained largely unknown. Sadly, not everyone showed as much restraint as Charles Dickens. Steadily, twerking garnered public acceptance

until, last century, it officially entered the mainstream. In 1951, Melbourne’s first Moomba Festival contained a twerking competition until it was replaced by the Birdman Rally in 1965. It was also the official exhibition sport at the Helsinki Olympic Games in 1952 (with Liechtenstein beating out traditional rivals, Freedonia for the gold medal) and used by Henry Kissinger to clear the room during a particularly testy negotiation with Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai in 1972. After that particularly fraught exchange, things went kind of quiet on the twerking front. Until now. Life’s a funny old thing. It’s strange to watch a young woman – whose father inflicted ‘boot scooting’ on the world courtesy of the crime against music and spelling that was Achy Breaky Heart – embrace twerking so fulsomely. Mostly it’s a shame to see anyone who can actually dance choose to dance like that. More disturbing still is the sight of prime ministerial aspirant Clive Palmer (regardless of how deeply misplaced that aspiration might be) decide that the best way to connect with ‘the kids’ is to sacrifice any notion of dignity and ‘twerk’. Granted, the act occurred on radio, which was probably the perfect medium. Still, if Thomas Jefferson was still with us he would, doubtless, shake his head in despair and most definitely not his buttocks. I hate to say it, but I almost miss planking. It seems intellectual by comparison. Come back Harlem Shake, all is forgiven. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

It follows her 2011 acclaimed album Pieces of Me which gave me my favourite song Bondwood Boat. Believe was produced by bass guitar maestro and record producer, Simon Johnson, featuring some backing vocals from sister Karlee Simmonds and Mornington Peninsula singer/songwriter, Lachlan Bryan. “I’m really proud of the new record, it’s me and the fact my family had a part of it. Simon Johnson is an incredible producer and we did this album over four months. He is a beautiful person to deal with,” Aleyce said. “To record a song with my sister Karlee was very special to me. “Glenn Hannah, apart from doing the artwork, played guitar and played a big part in the recording of this album.” The first single, the title track, debuted at number five on the iTunes charts and has already found a home on country music radio across the country. The accompanying video clip produced and directed by Ross Wood, will be released alongside the album. The album Believe was officially launched this week. Standout tracks include Joshua, The Tree House Song, My Life Drives Me to Drink, Tonight,

I went camping as a boy over Christmas; the backyard of some property way, way away in a foreign place called Tootgarook that was full of croaking frogs and Frenchmen. A tent, hard work, spiders, centipedes and ants. Shared a tin of baked beans for lunch. Home two days later with an entrenched decision: never again. That and “psycho” motels. Fortunately there was food in the ice refrigerator when safely home. *** MINISTER for Ageing David Davis explains the measured reallocation of government-managed aged care services to non-government providers and with it budget documents revealing an expected saving of $25 million in 2014-15.

My mother would say “Neither is Joe Louis’s backside”. Saturday 7 September was the nerve-wracking doom and gloom double-header. Prior to the election I did another of my famous surveys (OK, I exaggerate) asking the reason they vote for who they vote for. Two misinformed answers on the economy, one hated Kevvy (he being a Queenslander) and the rest voted “because they had to”. I wonder about the many following the word of Sir Rupert but then remembered the brilliant minds of the German inventors of the Mercedes motor car, despite the German masses voting for the failed Austrian artist Adolf. We voted in favour of vested interests, corporate and private wealth, privatisation and taking people’s houses for commercial profit. Andrew Bolt calls my lot the cultural elite.

A car once or twice a day, the horse-drawn baker’s cart and the iceman; the smell of fresh bread or pinch a block of ice. Two captains, each to pick their sides. In case of an uneven number the captains tossed for the last one – regularly me. Was I afforded counselling? They laughed? Mongrels. One time my sister wanted a game and they tossed up for her.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Thief makes off with daily takings, local properties in great demand Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 20 September 1913. THE Criminal Investigation department was informed early on Thursday morning that a bag answering the description of the one which was stolen from Epsom racecourse on Wednesday, together with the day’s takings, totalling between £700 and £800, had been recovered. The discovery was made by a Mr Thomas, who lives at “Koonwarra,” St. Kilda Road. The bag, which has been identified by the club officials, was lying open in a right of way off Commercial road, Prahran. Needless to say, the bag was minus the cash which it had contained on the previous day. Several detectives are engaged in investigating the mystery, but suspicion cannot be fastened upon any individual, and as the stolen money is not identifiable it seems more than probable that the thief or thieves will go undetected. *** THE demand for properties in Mornington is still very great. During last week, the following lots changed hands:- Mrs Auld’s cottage in Tanti road was purchased by Mrs Lewis, who also bought Mrs Bradford’s house in Waterloo Place. Mr T. Coxhell disposed of his cottage, at the corner of Queen Street, to Mr Easterby, all at satisfactory prices. Several building allotments have also changed hands. Mr R. Ford, grain merchant has sold his business, in Main Street, to Mr Blacker, who will take possession in the middle of October. *** MR Geo. A. Parrett, dentist, of 233, Toorak Road, South Yarra, noti-

fies that he visits Mornington every Monday, and may be consulted at the Pharmacy. *** OWING to the absence of Messrs A. Millard and A. Thomas, two of the leading players of the Frankston Brass Band, the band will not be able to play out for about three weeks. *** MR T. Sage met with a very painful accident on Tuesday. While riding one horse and leading a young one, the led animal suddenly pulled back, and nearly tore his thumb off. *** A WORKING bee did great work at the Somerville show ground lately, under the leadership of President C. Grant. Over 100 young pine trees were planted along the east and north sides of the ground. *** THE annual ball in connection with the Frankston tennis club will take place on Wednesday evening next. Elaborate preparations are being made, and everything points to a most successful evening. Tickets may be obtained at 3s for gents and 2s for ladies. *** THE names of Mrs O’Grady, and Misses Hogan and Brody were inadvertently omitted from the list of assistants in our report in last week’s issue of the Frankston Brass Band bazaar. These ladies worked hard, and rendered valuable assistance, to the bazaar committee. *** BY an advertisement in this issue it is notified that Major Chas W. Camp bell has arranged with Mr H. C. Dannevig, Director of Fisheries, to give a

lecture, illustrated with lantern slides, on fish life, in the Mechanics’ Hall, Mornington, on a date to be fixed in October, due notice of which a will be given. *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Horticultural and Agricultural Association will be held in the local hall on Tuesday evening next, at 8 o’clock. The business of the meeting will be to receive balance sheet and report, election of officers and committee, and any other necessary business. A full attendance is requested. *** THE Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association are planting ornamental trees, around their ground in Somerville. This Association is a lively body, and its president and secretary, with their committee, are always on the qui vive for anything that will tend toward the beautification of their grounds or the advancement of the society generally. *** MR W, Hayes, sanitary expert, submitted to us an automatic disinfecting and hermitically sealing W. C. cover, a most effective sanitary contrivance, which is rightly called a necessity and not a luxury. The formula will destroy all obnoxious odours, and a fly or mosquito will not enter the pan thus installed. Orders may be booked at Brody and Mason’s, Frankston, where a sample can be seen and all particulars supplied. The price comes within reach of every householder. *** IT is with the deepest feeling of regret we record the death of Mrs W. White, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs W. Wilson, of Mornington, which took place at Mrs Thompson’s private

hospital on Saturday afternoon last. The deceased was only 25 years of age, and a native of Mornington. The sad news came as a great shock to her many friends, as only a few days previous she, in company with her husband, journeyed to Melbourne, to see Mr Andrew White, who is in ill health. Great sympathy is felt for Mr White, who is left with two young children. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, and was largely attended. *** WE have secured the agency in the Peninsula for Lonsdale and Bartholomew’s beautiful “Art” series of Private Xmas Cards. A sample book will be on view at our office, and inspection is invited. Prices range from 4s a dozen upwards. *** WHILE riding Stripe in the Hurdle Race at the Wangaratta Turf Club Show Races on Thursday, C. Clarke, of Frankston, was thrown heavily, owing to his mount falling. He was picked up in an unconscious state, suffering from slight concussion, but an hour later he was recovered sufficiently to be removed to town. *** THE annual rally of the various branches of Christian Endeavours on the Peninsula was held in the Frankston Methodist Church on Thursday evening. Notwithstanding the showery nature of the evening there was a good attendance, representatives being present from Somerville, Hastings, Langwarrin and Mornington. Rev R. Jackson conducted the meeting. Greetings were received from the Somerville, Hastings, Langwarrin, Red Hill, Morning-

ton, and Mordialloc branches. Rev J. F. Butler, of Mornington, gave an interesting address on the “Definition of Christian,” and harmony was rendered by Misses Twining, Croskell, and Messrs Reed and C. Ellis. Miss O. Sherlock presided at the organ. The secretary (Mr Ellis) read his report, which showed that good success had been made during the year. Previous to dispersal the visitors were hospitably entertained by the local branch, which concluded a most pleasant evening’s entertainment. *** AFTER months of hard travelling over roads that were mainly bad and often non-existent, the Country Road Board has completed its inspection of Gippsland, which was undertaken to enable the board to draw up its plans for road construction and maintenance in that territory which has been so greatly neglected in regard to road facilities. Mr W. Calder, the chairman of the board, yesterday discussed with Mr Hagelthorn the schedules and maps prepared. Mr Hagelthorn suggested to Mr Calder, that before sending out the schedules to the municipalities for consideration, the board should work out an estimate of cost, lest after approval of the schedules it should be found that the work in Gippsland would absorb an undue proportion of the amount available for expenditure on the roads of the State. It is proposed to expend in the next five years a sum of £2,000,000 on road construction, and £2,000,000 on maintenance. The board is completing surveys for urgent work in Gippaland. in order that provision may be made in the estimates for its commencement.

HISTORY

The curious case of Doctor Rohner By Peter McCullough IN November, 1888 Dr. Charles William Rohner MD opened his practice in Hastings; he was the town’s first medical practitioner. On 9th January, 1890 he disappeared without trace. At the time there were several theories as to his fate, but the mystery remains. Part Two *** So what happened to Dr. Rohner? It would seem that his disappearance co-incided with the unexpected arrival in Hastings of his wife from whom he was estranged. But what actually happened to him? There are two main schools of thought:suicide (as believed by his friends in the north-east) or he “shot through”(according to “the locals”.) A return to Austria was even suggested by some supporters of this second theory. The two opposing views were well expressed in the language of the day in the respective local papers and it seems appropriate to quote from them: 1. SUICIDE THEORY “Disappearance of Dr. Rohner. With respect to the mysterious disappearance of Dr. Charles W. Rohner, the opinion in Benalla is that he has committed suicide. A letter dated Hastings 20th December was received from him by Dr. F. Wurm, jeweller, who besides being a fellow countryman, was one of his personal friends. The communication, written in German, was marked throughout by a despondent tone. The writer stated that a dark cloud, which he was afraid he was powerless to absolve, had haunted him for some time, and he went on to speak of the happiness to be obtained in the next world as in every sense preferable to the present. He referred especially to the death of Mr. Crawford, a well-known resident of Benalla, who committed suicide by drowning a few weeks ago, and gave it as his opinion that his (Crawford’s) act of self destruction was due to the influence of evil spirits which he had come in contact with. It is also known that Dr. Rohner felt very keenly the death of his eldest son, who fell a victim of typhoid at Shepparton some months ago, and in fact, taken in conjunction with the strange communication referred to, forces Mr. Wurm and others to the opinion that the doctor has done away with himself. For some time he practised his profession in Benalla. He was a man of exceptional literary attainments, and was perhaps best known to most people as a strong opponent of vaccination.” -Euroa Advertiser, 24th January, 1890.(also The Argus.) 2. “SHOT THROUGH” THEORY “Hastings. The alarm which has been created in some men’s minds by the departure of Dr. C.W. Rohner from Hastings is not, I venture to predict, justified by the facts of the case. An absurd article appeared in a Melbourne journal leaning to the side of the terrible and desperatethose sentiments so dear to the dull and barren soul of a reading public. There was no mystery about the doctor’s disappearance, as the cause thereof was distinctly proved by the arrival of his wife the same afternoon, from whom he had been for years estranged, and the simple fact that he gave no notice of his departure and left no address is accepted as conclusive evidence that he has come to an untimely end. The writer in the article referred to says the doctor left his watch and jewellery behind. Now it is

PAGE 48

a well-known fact that he did not possess or wear any jewellery. The writer also says that on the following day the police were informed, whereas three days elapsed before the subject was mentioned to the police, and the scribe asserts that the police stated that the doctor had not left by train, coach, boat or any conveyance whatever. Constable McCaig said nothing of the sort: he merely said that he was unable to trace the doctor after the lapse of three days. The translation of the words in the diary should be ascertained to be correct beyond the possibility of doubt, as there appears to be a difference of opinion on the subject. It is also said by the writer that the police constable scoured the country (whatever that may mean) and that he searched about the pier, insinuating, but not daring to say, that the water had been dragged. Now I venture to affirm that the conclusion arrived at by those lovers of the mysterious is not borne out by the facts of the case, which are extremely simple in themselves, and that all the reasoning alluded to above is incorrect and the outcome of a morbid imagination, desirous to please the admirers of the sensational. It is true that the doctor drew out of the bank a small balance and gave it to his daughter, and it is also true that he was known to have in his possession a considerable sum a short time previous to his departure. Those who conversed eight hours previous could notice nothing peculiar in his manner. I have been intimately acquainted with the doctor for the last 15 months and I have no fear for his safety, the cause of his departure being to avoid a domestic conflict but what his ulterior plans may be I know not, and the mystery which it is attempted to attach to the matter, I regard as absurd.”-South Bourke and Mornington Journal, 29th January,

Western Port News 17 September 2013

1890. It should be mentioned that, because of the “considerable sum” which Dr. Rohner was apparently carrying, some locals wondered whether he may have been murdered. This suggestion, however, does not appear to have had any support amongst the various newspaper correspondents. Was there ever any trace of Dr. Rohner? For some months the residents of the little seaside village pondered the fate of their first doctor. Then in early May some boys playing in Kings Creek made a discovery; word spread quickly that they had found Dr. Rohner. The excitement soon abated when the bones turned out to be those of a dead cow. The Hastings correspondent of the South Bourke and Mornington Journal, who had so strongly advocated the “shot through” argument in January, was rather caustic in his comments (see box at right) While there has been on-going speculation as to Dr. Rohner’s fate, one fact is clear: there was never any registration of his death in the Victorian death index. *** What of Dr. Rohner’s family? As mentioned, Dr. Rohner married Margaret Emmeline Edmonds in 1862. At the time of his disappearance they were estranged and she evidently arrived in Hastings on the same afternoon of his disappearance. The family apparently assumed that Dr. Rohner was no longer alive and he must have left them in straitened circumstances for the following letter, having already appeared in The Argus, was printed in the North East Ensign on 24th February, 1891: “Sir. On behalf of the widow and family of the late Dr. C.W.Rohner I have made an appeal to the medical

profession in particular and will thank you to take charge of any contributions which may be sent to you to allow acknowledgement to be made through the columns of your newspaper. Yours etc. S. Jacoby, Esplanade St. Kilda. Feb 14.” Mrs. Rohner lived for almost 30 years after the disappearance of her husband. The personal columns of The Argus of 5th January, 1918 informed readers of her death: “On 31st December, 1917 at 38 Lewisham Road, Windsor, Margaret E. relict of the late Dr. Charles William Rohner, aged 77 years.(Interred privately in the Boroondarra Cemetery, Kew, on 2nd January.)” A similar notice appeared in the North East Ensign on 11th January, 1918 and mentioning that Mrs Rohner had been in indifferent health for some considerable time. It also mentioned that there were 3 surviving children; they would have been one son (Emmanuel) and two daughters (Hypatia and Corinna.) Of the 8 children , there are not a lot of descendants: 1.Charles Armin Rohner-born in Chiltern 1863 but died of typhoid in Shepparton in 1889. Never married. 2.William Aberlard Rohner-born in Chiltern 1865 and died in 1901. He was a watchmaker and the cause of his death was listed as “abscess on the brain.” The following notice appeared in The Argus on 11th May, 1901: “Rohner - on 6th May at Cobram, William, dearly loved husband of Mary Rohner and second son of the late Dr. Rohner and Mrs. Rohner, St. Kilda, aged 37 years.” William married Mary Jane Burke whose death, “... late of Cobram, aged 79 years...”was recorded in the Sunshine Advocate on 13 February, 1942. It states that she “...was the mother of Mr. Ray Rohner, well-known locally,

and also Will and Nellie (Mrs. F. Bolton). Bill and Beryl Rohner and Keith Bolton are grandchildren.” As well as Keith, Nellie also had two other sons (Ian and Clifford) and a daughter (Nancy). William’s marriage to Mary Jane Bourke was not approved of by the Doctor as she was a local girl; this caused a rift between father and son! Bill Rohner (a great grandson of the Doctor) married Mavis King in 1953 and they had 3 children: Christine, Jeanette and Peter. There are two boys from Peter’s marriage, so the Rohner name continues. Bill and Mavis Rohner moved to Wahring in their retirement, close to Jeanette and her husband, Murray. Bill died in 2007 but Mavis, at 80, still plays the organ in the Uniting Church in Murchison. She and her grandson, David Robinson, have recently released a CD titled “Across the Years.” 3.Ferdinand Charles Rohner-born in Chiltern 1868 and died in Chiltern the following year. (Ferdinand was named after the Doctor’s only brother.) 4.Hypatia Irene Rohner-born in Chiltern 1869 and apparently came to Hastings with her father in 1888 as his housekeeper. She must have stayed on in Hastings for in 1891 she married John Henry Newton Jones, the son of a Hastings fisherman, Evan Gilbert Jones. Her husband was a missionary employed by the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints and they spent time in South Australia and New Zealand. They had no children but adopted a daughter (Phyllis Doran).Hypatia died at Ivanhoe in 1955. Anne Loughran of Maidstone is a granddaughter of William Jones, a younger brother of John, and recalls visiting “aunt ‘Patia” at Ivanhoe prior to her death in 1955. The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Hypatia’s father was never discussed; it would appear to have been a taboo subject! However Mrs. Loughran was able to shed some light on the adopted daughter of John and Hypatia Jones: it was believed within the family that she was the illegitimate daughter of Corinna who was apparently jilted as a young woman. 5.Corinna Delores Rohner-born in Chiltern 1875 and died in Fairfield in 1957. Did not marry. 6.Laura Beatrice Rohner-born in Hamilton 1877 and died in St. Kilda in 1916.Although she predeceased her mother, Laura married (William Thomas George Hallam) and had two daughters: Irene ( who died at the age of 20) and Brenda (who married Richard Dunstan and had two children). 7. Emmanuel Candide Rohnerborn in Bright 1879 and died in Elwood in 1940. He married Margaret Jane Anderson and they had one daughter (Gwendoline) who married (Harold Ernest Neill)and had a son (Barry Neill). Barry had a son and a daughter. Emmanuel married Maggie Jane Plowright after the death of his first wife. Emmanuel and Laura lived in close proximity and were confectioners in the St. Kilda area at one time. They were both fined for selling tobacco /cigarettes on a Sunday in 1915 - not long before Laura died. (Emmanuel would have only been 11 when his father disappeared). 8.Ania Mara-born in Chiltern 1883 and died soon afterwards. For most of this information I am endebted to Jeanette Robinson, a great, great granddaughter of the Doctor.

A link with Australian literature WHEN Dr. Rohner departed Chiltern in 1876 he sold his practice to Dr. Walter Lindesay Richardson. The Richardsons lived in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lake Viewâ&#x20AC;?, now owned by the National Trust, and although the family moved on after 18 months, the town made a lasting impression on their elder daughter, Ethel Florence. Writing under her pen name of Henry Handel Richardson, Ethel wrote a number of classic novels including â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Getting of Wisdomâ&#x20AC;?, based on her experience as a boarder at PLC, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maurice Guestâ&#x20AC;?, which was set in Leipzig where she studied at the Conservatorium. Richardsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-known work, however,was â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Fortunes of Richard Mahoneyâ&#x20AC;? (pictured), a trilogy about the slow decline, owing to character flaws and an unnamed brain disease of a successful Australian physician and businessman, and the emotional/financial effect on his family. The central characters were based loosely on her own parents. It is understood that the town of Barambogie referred to by Richardson is in fact Chiltern and Dr. Rummel is drawn from her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s predecessor, Dr. Rohner. FOOTNOTE: As well as the information provided by Jeanette Robinson, the assistance given by Shirley Davies of the Hastings Western Port Historical Society is greatly appreciated. Special thanks to the Chiltern Athenaeum for the photographs. Historic home: Lake View at Chiltern, the home of the Richardsons.

Newspaper of the day: Discussion was rife on the fate of Dr. Rohner.

Premiers: Edithvale-Aspendale celebrate a turn around season and a come from behind grand final win. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Eagles soar in final term to drown Sharks PENINSULA LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly EDITHVALE-ASPENDALE created Mornington Peninsula Football history on Sunday when it went from the wooden spoon to Peninsula League premiers in the space of one season. Edithvale trailed by 30 points at three quarter time against Bonbeach, but booted six goals to none in the last quarter to grab victory 13.15.93 to 12.14.86. It was a rags to riches story. Edithvale finished on the bottom of the ladder last season. It had to play an Elimination Final, where it came from behind to beat Mornington, then easily defeated Mt Eliza in the First Semi before beating Frankston YCW last week in overtime to advance to the Grand Final. The Eagles did it the hard way. Ruckman Markham Johnson carried a hip injury into the match, full back Nick Connellan punctured his lung before the finals began and star youngsters Bailey Dale and Mark Mullins

suffered from gastro the night before the game. Edithvale looked like the walking wounded at three quarter time. Nathan Dunn, who came into the side after injuring a shoulder a fortnight ago, copped a knock on the same spot midway through the clash and was clearly experiencing discomfort. However, Edithvale coach Troy Shannon managed his playing group superbly. Johnson spent a lot of time of the bench, Dunn was looked after and Dale and Mullins spent long periods on the pine. The common thought going into the game was that Edithvale needed to stay within striking distance. Given Bonbeach had an easy pathway through to the grand final and Edithvale did it tough, many believed the Sharks would finish the game with greater run. How wrong that was! The Eagles booted five goals in eight minutes to hit the front and then sealed the match at the 28-minute mark of the

Western Port News 17 September 2013

last quarter to win by seven points. Earlier in the match, it was the even spread of the Sharks that saw them boot six goals to two in the second quarter and four goals to three in the third to lead 12.10 to 7.10 at the final change. Paul Rebeschini was providing enormous drive from half back, Shane McDonald was dangerous through the middle and Calhan McQueen was proving to be a handful in attack. Both McQueen and McDonald booted three goals in the first three quarters, while Owen Hulett, Shaun Foster and Michael Turville also kicked multiples. Edithvale constantly wasted opportunities going into the forward line and the hero of the week before, Matt Kremmer, couldn’t get his hands on the footy. Shannon moved Kremmer up the ground in the last quarter and shifted Connellan from full back to full forward. He also asked for one last effort from the likes of Johnson and Dunn, as well as his youngsters.

Shannon also called on his defenders to work hard, play in front and leave nothing in the tank. The moves paid dividends and the players responded to their coach. Kremmer began to clunk everything, Connellan looked dangerous in attack and had a hand in three last quarter goals, Johnson went out and gave his all, Steve and Tim Mannix devoted everything they had for the good of the team and the defenders, led by Drew Westfield and Jordan Derbyshire, rebounded every Bonbeach entry. Brent Bowden was also moved back and was a rock down there. Then there were the unsung heroes such as Jack Holden, who was simply superb with more than 20 touches. Tom Turner came on and did a job on McDonald, Jeremy Heys was huge in the last with three goals and Brad Tagg never stopped running and working. Troy Ogier got his hands on the footy through the middle, Pat Poore shouldered a lot of responsibility in the ruck with Johnson being injured

and Zac Muscialli and Adam Budge constantly drove their team forward. Craig Wray was strong when he was called upon and Todd Woodbridge continued to stick his head over the footy despite his light frame. The Eagles simply needed a sniff of victory. The first opportunity came at the six minute mark when Connellan marked and goaled and then they had to wait until the 16-minute mark to really start their charge. What unfolded in the last quarter was incredible. Edithvale looked gone 30 minutes earlier. Make no mistake, Bonbeach didn’t lose this Grand Final, Edithvale won it. They did it the hard way, from last in 2012 and going into the biggest game of 2013 with some injured players. The Eagles rolled the dice, stayed loyal, managed the best they could and won. The Edithvale-Aspendale Football Club should be extremely proud of their players’ efforts.

WESTERN PORT scoreboard calling me about their coaching position less than 24 hours after the final siren of a premiership. To me, that was just disrespectful and said a bit about their club and how they go about things to be honest. “In the next few weeks I have the Dromana presentation night, my 40th birthday and a trip overseas with my family. I’ll probably make my decision on the beach, I reckon. “If it comes to the stage where I get back and there are no positions available, I’ll just take a year off and go around and watch footy,” he said. Artico said the celebrations after the Grand Final in the town of Dromana were like something he had never experienced before. “I just couldn’t believe how much this premiership meant to the whole town – community, businesses, football club supporters,” Artico said. “We posed for photos with the cup with people in the street, hotels, restaurants, local businesses – it was just amazing and very humbling. “We spent some time with some of the 1971 Dromana Premiership players, which was just sensational, and we even paid a visit to a member of that ’71 team who had missed the game because he was in hospital. He broke down and cried he was that proud of us. “It was just a wonderful experience and one that will stay with me forever. Premierships really are something that need to be respected and treasured,” Artico said.

Artico to cool jets before making a move DROMANA Premiership coach Gavin Artico intends to spend the next three weeks celebrating his 40th birthday and enjoying a family holiday in Bali. Since announcing his resignation from the Tigers a week before the grand final, Artico has been linked to a number of clubs to coach them next season. On Nepean League Grand Final day, it was rumoured that Artico had accepted the Frankston YCW coaching position. From the horse’s mouth, this was far from the truth, although the Stonecats did want to talk to him on the morning of the Grand Final. The two-time premiership coach has also been linked to the club where his coaching career began, Langwarrin. This rumour emerged after Artico attended the engagement party of one of his former players. And then there’s the Seaford rumour, as well as positions further up the line in the Eastern Football League and Amateurs. Artico said he was going to be a “very busy man” over the next 12 months. “If you believe all the rumours I’m locked into a few jobs, so I’ve got some juggling to do,” Artico joked. “The reality is that I’m keen to coach next year but I have some personal things that I want to do before I make any firm decisions. “The most important thing I wanted to do was share the celebrations of a premiership with the players and committee of the Dromana Football Club. “We all worked so hard to achieve the result and I couldn’t believe that there were clubs

Sharks still circling FOLLOWING the ‘exclusive’ article last week in The News about the Sorrento coaching position being up in the air, no-one from the club has denied the story. It is believed that the committee is divided on the direction of the footy club next season. The football department are keen to see Nick Claringbold reappointed as coach while the decision makers at the club are looking for someone more high profile. Reading the story last week, there is already

one club that has officially made contact with Claringbold, should he not be a reappointed at Sorrento. It is amazing to think that the Nepean League Team of the Year coach had still not been spoken to by the Sorrento Football Club as late as Thursday of last week. Still on the Sharks, it is rumoured that Nepean goal kicking winner, Leigh Poholke, might be following James Hallahan interstate to play next season.

Yabbies appoint Hallal TYABB has appointed Ray Hallal as its senior coach. Hallal took over the role as interim coach last season after the club parted ways with Brad Coller. There were strong rumours last week that Tyabb was either going to fold as a club or apply to play in the Southern League. However, president Terry McGrath said that rumour was garbage. “We have appointed a senior coach in Ray, we are financially sound as a club and we are looking to recruit a few players,” McGrath said.

Blackford on the blower NEW Red Hill coach Tony Blackford has been tirelessly working the phones since becoming the head honcho a month ago. Blackford said the club was in a very strong position off the field and said he was confident that with a bit of experience in the line-up, his side could move swiftly up the ladder. “A club like Edithvale-Aspendale has shown this year that with a couple of good recruits in positions where you need them, you can make a move quickly,” Blackford said.

Demons look up the line RYE is renowned for attracting players from up the line. Rarely does it look within its own backyard and once again it has had some chats and had

a round of golf or two with players outside of the league. They have one on board already and are very keen on enticing Justin Van Unen back to the fold.

Bulls after Schwarze

IT is believed the Karingal Football Club is keen to get hold of Sorrento premiership coach Troy Schwarze to coach them next season. A former teammate at St Kilda of Karingal’s Justin Peckett, the fit seems reasonable. The Bulls would also pick-up Ben Schwarze and Caydn Beetham if they could manage to lock in Troy. The downside of appointing Schwarze for Karingal would be possibly losing David Hirst, who we understand has applied for the position. ‘Budda’ Hirst is also linked to the vacant Somerville job.
