Millions paid to cast-off port planners

Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au SACKING staff at the Port of Hastings Development Authority has seen millions of dollars “lost” to Hastings, according to Opposition leader Matthew Guy. Speaking to journalists in Frankston last week Mr Guy said 55 jobs had gone and payouts “will cost millions”. A news release from Opposition ports spokesman David Hodgett said the state government had paid out $2.64 million to 17 staff made redundant at the planning authority. “That works out to an average redundancy payment of over $155,000 a worker,” Mr Hodgett stated in a news release. “These 17 jobs should never have been lost because a second container port is critical for Victoria’s economic future.” The downsizing of the development authority – formed by the previous government when Mr Hodgett was ports minister – came soon after Labor’s election win and its decision to lease out the Port of Melbourne for 50 years, effectively mothballing plans for a major container port at Hastings. Instead, the Labor government has earmarked Hastings as a “bulk” port for ships delivering and collecting petroleum products, natural gas and, possibly brown coal. The government is also giving Infrastructure Victoria the job of investigating whether a container port is eventually best built at Bay West, north of Geelong in Port Phillip, or Hastings. Backing for a container port at Hastings continues to come from Mornington Peninsula and

Frankston councils, but is being opposed by the Shire of Bass, which borders Western Port. The three municipalities are part of the new South East Melbourne Group of Councils (SEM) lobbying the government on a range of issues, including business investment, jobs, public safety and education. Despite Bass’s opposition, a container port for Hastings is included in SEM’s regional plan, along with planning for a major airport. The other four councils in the SEM group are Kingston, Casey, Cardinia and Greater Dandenong. Both the Mornington Peninsula and Bass councils have written separately to the government, one (the peninsula) calling for the establishment of a “green” container port at Hastings and the other (Bass) opposing any expansion of the port. Frankston has promoted itself as being ideally suited to be the commercial centre for and expanded Port of Hastings. Its mayor, Cr Sandra Mayer, as the inaugural head of SEM, issued a news release stating “30 per cent of all shipping containers from the Port of Melbourne end up in south east Melbourne, so development linked to tourism and shipping are certainly areas we will be pushing hard, including the Port of Hastings expansion”. Mr Guy, when criticising the government virtually disbanding the Port of Hastings Development Authority, said the container port would have been a “boon for jobs on the Mornington Peninsula and south eastern suburbs”. “The Port of Hastings should be on the [government’s] agenda. Melbourne needs planning to begin for a second container port,” he said.

There was no slip up - VCAT David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au THE state planning tribunal did not make an “accidental slip” in its Arthurs Seat gondola permit conditions, as claimed by the Save Our Seat protest group, and no correction will be made, the tribunal has decided. SOS queried what appeared to be a contradiction in one condition the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal placed on the contentious cable car project. In condition 39, VCAT stated an emergency plan must be approved “prior to the commencement of the use” of the ride, that is, after construction was completed. Elsewhere it stated that the plan should be approved “before the development commences as there may be matters ... that require refinements to other components of the proposal”. In its response to the SOS query, VCAT stated that it “does not consider that there has been an accidental slip in relation to its order”. “The conditions work together including condition 1(e) that requires the permit holder [Skylift] to show how compliance with DEPI conditions 40– 61 is to be achieved before plans are endorsed. Those conditions link back to Condition 39,” VCAT stated. To the law’s “reasonable man”, the VCAT letter falls short of clearing up confusion about the issue SOS had

raised. If anything, it compounds the confusion because:  Condition 39 states: “Prior to the commencement of the use, an emergency management plan ... must be submitted to and approved by the Responsible Authority” (that is, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council).  The VCAT letter points to its condition 1(e), which refers to requirements imposed by DEPI (now the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning). None of these conditions can be read as supporting the VCAT assertion, that they clarify when the emergency plan must be approved.  Condition 41 mentions the bushfire emergency plan but only in passing.  Condition 43 refers to “The requirements for an emergency management plan set out in conditions 39 and 40”. This appears to actually reinforce condition 39 – that the emergency plan is not required until the gondola is built and is about to begin operating.  Condition 50 specifies that a “defendable space plan” – not a bushfire/ emergency management plan – must be approved “prior to the commencement of works”.  Conditions 53 to 58 set out requirements for a vegetation management plan, which appears to have no relationship to either the bushfire or emergency management plans. None of the other three DEPI-imposed conditions on which VCAT relied refer to matters relevant to condition 39.

Giving advice: Western Port Lady Steelers coach Andrew Jacobson during the team’s first appearance in Division 1.

Lady Steelers keep their man THE Western Port Steelers basketball team has re-signed Division 1 women’s coach Andrew Jacobson for next year’s Big V season. Jacobson came on board before the 2015 campaign and steering the team to just missing out on finishing inside the top five. The team fell one game short of playing finals with nine wins and11 losses in its first year in Division 1. Jacobson previously coached Frankston’s SEABL teams and was head coach for 24 years of Victorian championship sides in the VJBL – from under-12s to under-20s boys and girls. “The challenge next season is to take the next step and play in the finals series after coming so close in

2015,” Jacobson said. “We have a strong core group of players from this season’s winning team already committed, along with some incredibly talented new players joining the program. “There are still key positions available in the squad for the upcoming season and we are keen to provide an opportunity to anyone who believes they have what it takes.” Western Port Basketball Association will hold an open gym session, 7pm, Thursday 10 September for its 2016 Division 1 women’s team. Western Port juniors and CBL players are specifically invited, but the session is open to all interested players. Tyler Molloy, manager basketball operations

HASTINGS police Senior Citizens Register marks its 15th year of operation this month and is also raising money for a new car. The joint Hastings police and community initiative aims to promote confident and secure living among senior citizens living from Baxter through to Shoreham. The service is free and registration is voluntary for the 953 residents on the register. Each client is provided with an ID card with their name and identity number as recorded on a secure computer at Hastings police station. This enables police and other emergency services staff to obtain the personal details of each client if needed in an emergency. “The service provides regular phone calls from volunteers checking on each client’s welfare and, if the client cannot be contacted after several attempts, we pass this on to Hastings police for further action,” fundraising coordinator Angela Muir said. “We also mail a quarterly newsletter to our clients. We organise two bus trips and two social functions each year for our clients. “As well as this we conduct regular home visits by members of our home visits team.” A new vehicle to replace the 11-year-old car is necessary as it is “becoming very expensive to maintain”. “We receive no funding from local, state or federal governments, so everything we do is funded by our activities and donations from members and local organisations,” Ms Muir said. To join the register or donate to the car project call 5979 2137.

qualifications,” Mr Hunt said. The team had worked to “improve the natural environment” at Red Hill Community Park, Red Hill (planting and mulching); Baynes Road Reserve, Red Hill (removing weeds); Balcombe Estuary, Mt Martha (removing weeds, planting); Red Hill Rail Trail (weeding, planting); Woods Reverse, Tuerong (weeding); and The Briars indigenous plant Nursery, Mt Martha (plant propagation). The Green Army team was under the direction of Conservation Vol-

unteers Australia, hired as one of the $700 million program’s service providers. “These graduates have delivered real environmental benefits for the community and have also gained valuable practical training and experience to help them enhance their career opportunities,” Mr Hunt said. “The project has improved the condition of indigenous vegetation — reconnecting the landscape through weed control and revegetation across six sites on the peninsula.”

AN unusual census is being organised by the Western Port Biosphere. Schools, community groups and individuals are being asked to record sightings of animals, birds, reptiles, plants and insects for one week next month. The 2142 square kilometre biosphere covers the municipalities of Frankston, Mornington Peninsula, Casey, Cardinia and Bass Coast as well as French Island. The Lifesearch program – “citizen science in action” – is designed to increase knowledge about biodiversity within the biosphere and how to manage and protect it for the future. The Western Port Biosphere contains national and marine parks, rural agriculture and urbangrowth areas and its flora and fauna – including breeding colonies of the little penguins, koalas, Australian fur seal and short-tailed shearwaters (mutton birds) – are seen as major draw cards for visitors. The biosphere is also home to rare, threatened and vulnerable species such as the endangered southern brown bandicoot and hooded plover. Western Port is listed under the Convention

on Wetlands of International Importance as habitat for migratory species under the Ramsar Convention. The biosphere - designated in 2002 under UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Program is seeking expressions of interest for up to five honorary positions on its board with the terms of half the current board members expiring in November. Candidates should have experience in environment or natural resources, strategic or business planning, tourism, communications, marketing, or financial management. The Board also wants to hear from people with experience in not-for-profit administration and governance, community engagement, education and research, commercial law, arts and culture. The biosphere’s role is to “foster conservation and sustainable development by facilitating partnerships to create an environmentally, economically and socially sustainable future for Western Port”. Applications for board membership close 15 September. Details: www.biosphere.org.au Keith Platt

Drug crop seized in house raid Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au POLICE have seized live and dried cannabis plants with an estimated value of $261,000 during a raid on a Mt Eliza “crop house”. Eight Mornington detectives smashed their way into the Wimbledon Av property at 7am on Wednesday 26 August where they found 87 plants being grown in bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as an array of drug paraphernalia, including special lighting, hydroponic equipment, extraction fans and charcoal filters. Police said electrical wiring to heat the crops had been run directly from the street supply, bypassing the house’s electricity meter to avoid detection. No one was home at the time of the raid, but police that afternoon arrested a 34-year-old man who they spotted driving slowly past the rented house before attempting a U-turn. Identified as the lessee and one of four tenants of the house, the man was arrested and charged with cultivating a drug of dependence and trafficking a drug of dependence. He was due to face Frankston Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Monday) for a bail hearing and was further remanded until a date to be fixed. Police are looking for the three other tenants, aged in their 20s, who are all listed as having international student visas to attend a private education provider. Documents found at the house list names, classes and letters from the college demanding their attendance. Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Vallas said “crop sitters” were typically “students” – but many would not pass any tests.

“They are not poor students trying to make their way – they are pawns of a king pin in the drugs’ trade,” he said. “We believe the man we arrested may be higher up the totem pole.” Detective Vallas credited Mornington’s Constable Megan Zurek with getting the “original sniff that they were running a crop house there and the tasking unit followed up with the raid”. “We had been notified [by a member of the public] that suspicious activity was being conducted there. We then called in the police helicopter which used infra-red imaging equipment to detect hot-spots in the ceiling – a tell-tale sign of large-scale hydroponic drug activity. “Each plant is worth $3000 and we got 87 of them, so the property could have been producing $500,000 worth of marijuana a year. We are now making inquiries to ascertain how long they have been growing crops there. “It is a good result. We disrupted a place of exchange and also the supply of illegal substances. Our intelligence shows a link between house burglaries and drugs. And, often when we raid criminals’ homes, we find drugs, cash and firearms.” Constable Zurek said the warrant was “a reminder to anyone in the peninsula area thinking of cultivating or manufacturing drugs that police are continually targeting this kind of criminal behaviour”. “Police will take action where we are provided with information and will work to detect and disrupt the supply of illicit drugs.” Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Hillview seeks new quarry Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au HILLVIEW Quarries says it wants to reopen the old Pioneer quarry in Boundary Rd, Dromana, claiming it is running out of rock at its existing pit, which was started less than two years ago. Hillview CEO Paul Nitas has written to residents living near the old quarry and stated Hillview’s existing quarry off Hillview Quarry Drive had been operating for nearly 50 years “and its resource is diminishing”. “While the Boundary Road site [Pioneer] has not been actively quarried in recent years, we know the site has significant reserves,” he stated. The site has not been quarried for almost 20 years. Mr Nitas stated restarting quarrying “would allow Hillview to continue to operate on the Mornington Peninsula, providing employment to around 35 people as well as supporting many local businesses”. He stated Hillview had “begun preliminary discussions with the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council about recommencing quarrying on the Boundary Road site”. The old Pioneer quarry was the one that Peninsula Waste Management Pty Ltd wanted to use for a rubbish tip, which was refused by the EPA two years ago. The plan was supported by Mornington Peninsula Shire. R E Ross Trust owns both Hillview and PWM. Hillview/Ross Trust bought the old Pioneer quarry in 1998 for $1.24 million. It had already been earmarked as a potential rubbish tip site. Pioneer had bought it in the early 1960s and took about 300,000 tonnes of granite over 35 years before closing the quarry in 1998 when it reached the limit of its licence. The bottom of the pit was well below the water table and is now about 42 metres deep.

rying practices.” A new crushing plant was built in 2006. In his recent letter, Mr Nitas stated Hillview would keep residents “informed as we progress”. “Please be assured that Hillview will seek your views on our plans, and formal opportunities will exist to provide feedback as the plans develop,” he stated. Mark Fancett, president of Peninsula Preservation Group, the citizen lobby group formed in 2013 to oppose the quarry tip plan, said the new pit would likely be in pristine bush. “There’s degraded land at the Boundary Rd end of the block but higher up the slope is good native vegetation and quarries are always started at the top,” he said. Dr Fancett said if the quarry went ahead there would be four huge holes on Arthurs Seat, two of the existing three 100 metres deep. “The question has to be asked: where do you draw the line? The peninsula’s main industry is tourism. Is it appropriate in 2015 to create another quarry next to a state park?” Senior shire planner Niall Sheehy said he’d had “preliminary discussions with Paul Nitas of Hillview Quarries concerning the former Pioneer site off Boundary Rd. These discussions have been of a general nature concerning the site’s history and possible future opportunities for stone extraction”. “Hillview has indicated that the reserves within the former Pioneer site have yet to be exhausted. “Should discussions progress and a planning application be lodged, the shire will satisfy its statutory obligations and provide notice to potentially affected parties. It is also the shire’s understanding that Hillview has made a commitment to keep residents informed of any progress.” Hillview CEO Paul Nitas has been contacted for comment.

Hillview/Ross Trust owns 121 Boundary Rd, the old Pioneer quarry, which is 18 hectares. It owns another block of almost 65 hectares, 115 Boundary Rd, which wraps around three sides of the Pioneer quarry with the fourth side being Arthurs Seat State Park. If Hillview starts a new pit, it will have to either transport rock to its crusher at the Hillview Quarry Drive site or build one near the new pit. It would also need a weigh station, staff quarters and other infrastructure. Hillview’s move to start a second quarry follows the opening of a new pit at the Hillview Quarry Drive site early last year (“Hillview’s new quarry”, The News, 25/3/14). In January 2006 the company won permission from the shire council to open the new area. It is southwest of the main pit and closer to Arthurs Seat Rd. It was formerly the site of Hillview’s magazine, where explosives were stored. Hillview has permission to extract 2.6 million tonnes of brown stone and 11.4 million tonnes of grey stone from the new area. The company extracts about 650,000 tonnes of high-quality aggregate and crushed rock each year. The company says quarrying at Hillview’s site on Arthurs Seat escarpment has occurred for about 90 years. “R E Ross formed Hillview Quarries Pty Ltd in 1968 and shortly after acquired T W Maw and Sons Pty Ltd, which operated small quarries on the site,” Hillview’s website states. “Hillview and Maw formed a partnership to develop the site into a modern quarry operation, transforming the site from its seven small separate quarries to a single ... operation and manufacturing plant. “After some early disruptions due to clearing and permit challenges, Hillview reopened in 1971 with a new crushing plant and work plans that allowed the site to be opened up with modern quar-

Night of passion and lost causes David Harrison WAS it a Ghillie Dhu* or a Shellycoat* who, at the 24 August council meeting, spirited a packet of family assorted biscuits on to the hospitality table in the council offices foyer? Council Watch, noting a previous column that complained of a quality drop-off in the biscuits available at council meetings, felt he had overstepped the mark. He felt reproved. Here was a cornucopia of creams, a plethora of pastries suddenly arrived beside the glass jar of cookies provided for council-watching aesthetes. CW took a humble shortbread from the aesthetes’ jar as atonement for his previous curmudgeonly presumption. It turned out to be a cream-biscuit style of meeting. Cr Tim Rodgers caused a storm by remarking earthily after a contribution to debate by colleague Anne Shaw: “I feel like slitting my throat after listening to that.” CW may have heard parliamentary terms including “Withdraw!” and “Shame!” in the hubbub. Cr Shaw is a passionate advocate for her beliefs and presents them with force. She and Cr Antonella Celi were declaiming at length about the loss of the Rosebud foreshore pool. They also supported yet another move to resuscitate the historic Moorooduc Coolstores, on the Moorooduc Highway near the border of Somerville and Mt Eliza. This is a location that may prosper only if the good Lord turns up unexpectedly and holds out His healing hand. It was, CW ruminated, an evening of lost causes. There was Cr Celi,

gloomily trying to uplift the cause of a commercial venture which time, and Peninsula Link, has passed by. Besides, the uses being sought are now unlawful in the green wedge and possibly contravene rules the entirety of which only the aforementioned Lord and shire planning guru Allan Cowley know. This followed the Celi lament over the Rosebud pool, whose location the rules had long prohibited and which council, and the state government, had banished to the other side of Point Nepean Rd. Cr Celi clearly is devoted to St Rita of Cascia, one of the four patron saints of lost causes. Her invocation of little faces beaming happily at the prospect of a pool with water slides had a whiff of the martyr – and early electioneering – about it. But fear not, little ones. The pool is subject of a live council resolution and will rise again, possibly heated by underground water in a spectacular display of carbon-neutral modernity, except that the Greeks were lolling in hot springs well before the Christian era. The Coolstores debate was also notable for its mover and seconder – councillors David Gibb and Graham Pittock, rarely seen in lockstep. Cr Gibb, a grazier and occasional greenie, concurs with Cr Pittock on improper use of green wedge land – shire policy is to bring nonconforming existing uses back within

the new rules. A further notable interlude concerned Rosebud beach, where loads of sand have recently been dumped on a contentious area from which it had been proposed that waste from roadworks should be removed and the beach encouraged to resume its original profile. This is not a plan favoured by Cr Gibb, whose green credentials apparently cease at Point Nepean Rd. He employed his tried and true technique of making a speech by way of seeking officers’ answers to rhetorical questions. Until he was stopped. But he got most of the speech on to the record. It’s an admirable technique, rarely used by other councillors. Break up your speech into questions then fire them at the officers. “Isn’t it true that...” “Can you confirm...” “Would you agree...” “Am I right in saying...” It adduced the information he required. Like a good barrister, Cr Gibb knows not to ask questions to which he doesn’t know the answers. But sand moves on, sometimes quite briskly after heavy storms. The freshly deposited Rosebud sand will, grain by grain, continue its eternal journey, possibly joining the vast quantity that dallied briefly at Anthony’s Nose after that beach was renourished last summer. The dumped roadworks waste will resurface and come back to council. Will CW be in the chamber the night this occurs? Suddenly, a feeling of great weariness descends. * Ghillie Dhu: a solitary elf. Shellycoat: a bogeyman. Both Celtic mythical creatures.

Get out of debt swamp HELP is at hand for those who feel they are drowning in mounting debt. A new website and mobile phone app launched late last month to offer free financial guidance can be the first step to put consumers back in charge of their finances. The financialfirstaid.org.au site is the brainchild of FMC Mediation and Counselling Victoria, a not-for-profit provider of federal governmentfunded family and community programs. The online site and app provides access to information split into three categories: ‘I need help right now’, ‘I need to understand’ and ‘I want to know more’. Easy-to-read information about how to recover from financial stress and possibly book a free appointment with an FMC financial counsellor to work through a solution could be a gateway to a better life free of debt worries. The CEO of FMC, Kim O’Neill, said the organisation’s financial counsellors understand people can find themselves in financial strife for many

reasons such as unemployment or serious illness. “Our new website and financial counselling and capability service offers consumers a 24-hour action-based online financial support and easy to access information,” Ms O’Neill said. “Our model and website provides consumers with financial counselling, education and support. Our aim is to empower people to take back control of their money and lives”. FMC notes Australian household debt has grown during a period of rising property prices and increasing unemployment, Australian Bureau of Statistics data reveals household debt has increased nearly twice as fast as the value of household assets over the past 25 years. Moorabbin based FMC recently opened it latest office at 146 Young St, Frankston. See financialfirstaid.org.au or call 1800 639 523 for further information.

Understand ‘chaos’ disorder for recovery Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au ITS very name means those diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) can face criticism and families can also be stigmatised. The word ‘borderline’ tends to make many think there is not really anything wrong with someone diagnosed with BPD and an individual’s ‘personality’ is often judged by others. In fact, the ‘borderline’ aspect refers to the disorder being on the borderline of psychosis and neurosis and the causes of BPD are not yet fully understood. For those facing life with the mental disorder the road to recovery can be paved with criticism and others not taking the condition seriously. BPD sufferers often self-harm, engage in impulsive “self-sabotaging” behaviour, suffer relationship problems and can be at risk of suicide in extreme cases. A new support group for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula families aims to battle the stigma and offer help to families who are affected by BPD. Anne Reeve, the founder of National Education Alliance BPD in Australia, says it may be preferable to call the mental disorder “emotional dysregulation” since BPD is an inability to regulate emotions. NEA BPD is a US based organisation and Ms Reeves says the group are world leaders in research, education and specialist programs around BPD. “Families suffer from no direction

in Australia. BPD mostly emerges in late childhood and early adolescence,” she said. “It’s controversial to diagnose BPD in Australia for someone under the age of 20 because it’s believed your personality doesn’t form until you’re 25 but it’s important to get an early diagnosis. If you get an early diagnosis you can get appropriate treatment. “Unfortunately the name borderline personality disorder is a name that invokes fear in the hearts of everyone ... there’s a huge stigma.” The Family Connections program, hosted over 12 weeks early next month by Peninsula Health in Frankston, is based on dialectical behaviour therapy to recognise and change destructive patterns of behaviour to offer BPD sufferers and their families a way to cope with the mental illness. Mind Australia family practitioner Kristine Clements, who will head up the Frankston program, knows all too well the stigma associated with BPD, having struggled with her daughter’s disorder. “The system does tend to blame families. Those with BPD don’t respond to most therapies or medication and get put in the troublemaker basket.” The Langwarrin resident says being unable to regulate emotions means BDP sufferers have “an inability not to react to an emotion. Whatever they feel is ‘times 10’.” Ms Clements says family members should understand “it’s not their fault but with certain information they can improve the quality of life for themselves and their families.” “The idea of the course is families

come to improve their own ability to manage what’s happening and with that there’s a flow-on effect,” she said. She said parents are not to blame. “You might be treating all your children the same way because you don’t know and you’re upsetting the child with BPD and exacerbating the situation. “Families who have been involved in causing harm to a child are not the families who come to our course. We all, as parents, unwittingly do things that can be really invalidating for someone with a BPD.” The Family Connections program is designed specifically to support family members and help them understand the disorder and the chaos when the illness impacts on those closest to a BPD sufferer. Ms Reeve said families should speak to a GP about BPD and ask for a referral to a specialist. “There are treatments now that can cure about 70 per cent of people with borderline personality disorder so the really important message is there is hope you can lead a normal and fulfilling life if you’re diagnosed with BPD.” Family Connections classes will be held at Peninsula Health, 4 Spray St, Frankston from 1 September on 12 consecutive Tuesday evenings, 6-8pm. See bpdaustralia.com or call Anne Reeve on 0408 561 983 for further program information and booking details. The program is free.

LETTERS Council police The article “Allies plan to fight crime” (The News 25/8/15) indicates an awareness of a problem, but shows that we really do not have any answers as to how to solve the problem. The idea that individuals who do not have any power or authority are able to prevent crime is not realistic. The article indicates to me that the police force is so under manned that it is un able to enforce many laws. This is evident in most news reports when we are told that police no longer do this or that - whether it be car chases, burglaries, shoplifting or home invasions. If it is relatively minor, they just don’t bother. We need a brand new (for Victoria anyway) approach to law enforcement. We need to follow the American system where they have both state and municipal police forces, which work together when necessary. The state police look after major crime, the local police look after community crime. We need to legislate for municipalities to allow their by-laws department to operate as a fully fledged police department. This new police force would be self-funding as the vast majority of the staff would be operational, rather than administrative. If each patrolman (and that is the only rank we would need) issued only four fines of $200 each to lawbreakers each day, that would create about $200,000 a year - plenty to cover salaries, administration and some infrastructure. If municipal rates had to be increased I am sure ratepayers would be happier paying for law enforcement that they could see each and every day. I think that should be your follow-up report on crime, not some senior sergeant trying to move the onus for crime prevention onto others. Alan Thompson, Mt Eliza

Transporting carbon What a Yes, Minister moment to read that Mornington Peninsula Shire plans to reduce its carbon footprint by exporting its waste to Hampton tip.

ment of a container port at Hastings, but it looks like I might have less to worry about. The Port of Botany has not only caught up, but a rail link is to provide for loading directly from ships to rail transport to the outer south west, interstate and intermodal depot for local distribution. This means huge savings and efficiency in eliminating extra, slow loading and unloading to ever more expensive, slower transit, higher toll road, polluting truck transport. At the presentation for Port of Hastings in Cowes we were told that Hastings would not be a goer without a rail link. So why is the Labor state government proposing the western distributor, hugely expensive road for the benefit of 15 years more tolls for Citylink, burning all that imported diesel, instead of our own electricity? Bernie McComb, Cowes

Top to bottom In one move we can get rid of our rubbish and feel morally superior. (“Shire in step to carbon neutrality”, The News.) It will be interesting to read of the next plan to offset the considerable fuel use involved in driving waste-laden trucks from Portsea to Hampton. Thomas Orr, Red Hill

Pane-full destruction Today I was saddened to give the last rights to the second speckled thrush in my garden in a week. Both had broken necks. The friendly little birds (I have even hand-fed them in the past) were wantonly killed by a local vandal. If the police want to follow up these murders, I can identify the culprit - the resident wattle bird. His modus operandi is to chase the little birds till they crash into the window pane. Perhaps the wattle bird should proclaimed a noxious pest and placed in custody? Kevin Sack, Somers

Wheelie idea On holiday at Yamba/Iluka northern NSW I noticed speed warning stickers attached to wheelie bins reminding motorists they were in a 50 kph zone. I thought this maybe a good road safety initiative to be adopted in residential streets on the Mornington Peninsula. From my own observations a number of motorists either do not know or care that most residential streets are a 50 kph zones. I purchased three stickers via the Internet to put on my bins in Mc Crae. Cost is about $10 each delivered. Web site is www.wheeliebins.com This could be adopted by the police and council as a road safety initiative. If large numbers of the stickers were ordered it may reduce costs. John Nevitt, McCrae

Container relief I’m still haunted by the possible mega-develop-

In January 2014 that most respected organisation, the OECD, stated that the world’s richest countries have not done enough to prevent catastrophic climate change. Australia was singled out as the world’s greatest gas emitter per head of population. Very recently our Minister for the Environment Greg Hunt has made a public statement that Australians, per head of population, emit the lowest rate of pollution of any developed country. What a remarkable achievement – from the top of the list to the lowest in less than 18 months, despite the prime minister’s refusal to financially support renewable energy and his objections to the world climate scientist’s statistics. The OECD is up front with its sources of information. Where does the minister’s information come from, as the government seems unable to accept climate scientists findings. What is the truth? As [Opposition MP] Penny Wong has pointed out (and we are already well aware of this): “As one of the hottest and driest continents on earth, Australia will be among the hardest and fastest hit by climate change, if we do not act now”. Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Safer crossing at Bittern THE opening of a $224,000 signalised pedestrian crossing in Bittern has made crossing Frankston-Flinders Rd a safer proposition for pedestrians. About 50 pedestrians an hour cross the road between the train station and shops, and in peak hour around 1000 vehicles an hour drive past at 60kph. “Without a pedestrian-operated crossing, local residents have been taking risks when crossing the busy road in between traffic breaks,” Eastern Victoria MP Daniel Mulino said. “Bittern residents will now be able to cross Frankston-Flinders Rd safely.” Hastings MP Neale Burgess last month called on Roads Minister Luke Donnellan “to get on with the job” of installing the pedestrian crossing.

“The Bittern community had called for the installation of a pedestrian crossing [there] for many years and I was pleased to have obtained funding of $224,000 for it last October,” he said. “Work began in March, but was abruptly stopped a short time later. I wrote to the minister asking for an explanation and was told that work had ceased because an electrical contractor had withdrawn and had to be replaced.” Mr Burgess said he had “again written to the minister, this time asking that he personally intervene to ensure that installation of the Bittern pedestrian crossing was completed as a matter of urgency”.

A LANGWARRIN woman has had her license suspended after allegedly being found driving at more than five times the legal limit in Langwarrin Sunday evening. Frankston Highway Patrol police was called to Cranbourne Rd following reports of an erratic driver around 6.45pm. Police caught up with the woman when she was reportedly on her second run to the bottle shop and she returned a positive breath test at the scene. An evidentiary breath test then found her reading to be 0.289 per cent. The 40-year-old’s licence was immediately suspended and it is expected she will be charged on sum-

mons with drink driving and trafficrelated offences.

Unlocked, robbed THIEVES broke into eight cars parked at houses on Bentons and Dunns roads, Mt Martha, in a spate of overnight raids early Sunday morning last week. One car – a Subaru – was stolen and later recovered in Frankston North, while loose change was taken from the others. Detective Sergeant Jason Hocking, of Mornington CIU, said all the cars are believed to have been left unlocked. “We go on about it but people are still making it easy for thieves,” he said.

A bright dining room adjoins the galley-style kitchen, complete with granite benchtops, a dishwasher and Miele under-bench oven. There is a splendid family room and separate formal lounge room â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both with gas log-effect fire places, and a study could be a fourth bedroom if required.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Wounded soldiers visit local school Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE picture raffled by Mrs Brunning in aid of the Red Cross Fund was won by Miss Eileen Simcock, the winning number being 16. *** MR McCormack wishes to acknowledge the receipt of 10s from Mrs J. Hogan donated to the Red Cross Fund, which was handed in to the treasurer some weeks ago. *** CR W. J. Oates requests us to acknowledge the receipt of £20 8s 9d, being proceeds from the sale of Red Cross buttons for the month of July in the Shire of Frankston and Hastings. *** MESSRS T. R. B. Morton and Son will hold an extensive clearing sale of land, furniture, statuary, stock, vehicles, etc., on account of N. R. Ingham Esq, of “Ingle” Park, Bittern, on Tuesday, 14th September, full particulars of which are advertised. *** THE hon. sec. (Dr Plowman), of the presentation Fund to recruits recently enlisted from Frankston desires to acknowledge the receipt of a donation of £1 11s 6d from the employees of the Roads’ Board Hastings Road contract, including 5s each from Mr Wallace, Mr Bladen, jun. and Mr Ernest McComb. Steps are now being taken to organise the entertainment and presentation which was for various reasons postponed and the function will probably take place at an early date. ***

A party of 14 wounded soldiers arrived by motors from the city on Thursday under the care of Mr Malcolm, and were the guests of the Wattles Club, at Clarendon House, where the afternoon was most pleasantly spent. Previous to going to Clarendon House the soldiers paid a visit to the local State School, and Mr Richardson (head teacher) welcomed them to Frankston. The children were highly delighted, and did their utmost to entertain the visitors by singing and on their leaving gave them three hearty cheers. *** AMONG the many visitors attending the farewell social held at Langwarrin, on Saturday; 21st ult, were Mr and Mrs Summers, formerly in charge of the local station. Old members of the Frankston band will be pleased to know that their old comrade now takes a keen interest in the Cheltenham band. During their residence here Mr and Mrs Summers took a lively interest in, and rendered valuable aid in social and recreation societies, particularly at Langwarrin, and upon special occasions the family still appear on the concert platform, in the person of Miss Summers, a rising young pianist. The family received a warm welcome from old friends. Mr Vivian McGraw, another ex-resident of Langwarrin, has vastly improved his musical talent, his item proved the best of the evening. His parents were the main stay of the Langwarrin Methodist Church choir, after Mr W. Fleming’s family sought

fresh fields for their energy. The latter family were all born singers and fine workers, wherever they were placed. The visitors were the guests of Mr and Mrs Berry, who have led the way in patriotic efforts in this district, both their adult sons being now at the front. *** MORNINGTON Junction. A farewell social and presentation was held in the Mornington Junction Church, Saturday evening 28th, to bid farewell to eight young men who are leaving for the front. The presentation was a fountain pen for each of the boys. Privates W. Bond, C. Bond J. Cozens, H. and T. Male, Geo Mc Cubbin, W. Smale and B. Young. Cr Oates took the chair. The National Anthem being sung the evening started with a song Mrs Barclay, recitation Hazle Scott, song Miss G. Male, recitation Rev McDonald, song Mr Young senr, recitation Miss D. Michael, song Mrs Barclay, recitation Mr Young. The speakers were Cr Oates, Mr Dicker, Mr Marshall and the Rev McDonald. The boys thanked the people for their good wishes and Mr Young thanked them for the boys that were not able to be present. The evening closed by singing “For they are jolly good fellows.” *** THE official opening of the Mornington Junction Miniature Rifle Club Range took place on Saturday, August 28th, 1915. The President of the Shire, Cr Oates after a short speech, in which he congratulated the Club on being the

first formed in the Shire, and wishing it every success, declared the Range open, and then fired the first 3 shots. All the members and visitors present who wished to do so, made trial of their skill. The attendance was larger than anticipated, the rain keeping off during the whole afternoon so a very enjoyable time was spent. All seemed as happy as could be and several new names were added to the club roll. The boys of the district are anxious that arrangements be made so that they too may learn to shoot. Our thanks are due and accorded to Mr Walsh, our station master, for presenting a gold medal for competition, to the ladies who provided tea, coffee and light refreshments, and to all those residents who assisted in clearing and constructing the range etc. It is a matter for congratulations that subscriptions and donations have come in so well as to permit the club to commence operations free of debt and money in hand sufficient to purchase an additional rifle and trophy. Shooting will take place every Saturday afternoon, commencing at 2 o’clock until further notice. *** THE entertainment promised by St Paul’s Club, in aid of the Frankston Branch of Red Cross Fund, eventuated on Wednesday night last and was a pronounced success, not only as far as the artists are concerned, but the sum of £5 17s 6d will be added to the fund. All those who so ably assisted have the satisfaction of knowing their ef-

forts have been the means of helping substantially, such a worthy cause. Before the entertainment commenced two raffles were drawn, viz, a Pug Puppy, which was won by Mrs Jeffries, Spencer street, Clifton Hill, the holder of ticket No 238, and a Doll, given by Mrs Hay, was won by Mr Gordon, holding ticket No 505. Mrs Pownell, who gave the puppy to be raffled in aid of the Lady Stanley fund, will hand over £15 10s, and the doll, which was a penny raffle, has been the means of bringing in 657 pence (£2 14s 9d) to the local fund. On the curtain being raised, an overture was played by Mr Cowan, on the flute, accompanied by his sister. Being master of his instrument and a favorite with the audience, Mr Cowan is much sought after, and although it sometimes means refusing engagements which would be much more profitable to himself, he never disappointments a Frankston audience. Whether in vocal or instrumental items, Mr Cowan is always equally successful and highly appreciated. Miss P. McLean was next on the programme with a recitation entitled “The Amature Rider”, followed by a song by Mr Cowan, called “Breakfast in the bed on Sunday morning”, and with his illustrative yawns, had most of his hearers with their mouths open before the song was finished. Mr Matt Elliott then recited “Dogs of War”. This young man has recently enlisted. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 4 September, 1915

EVERY year on the first Sunday in September, many fathers across the country spend a special day with their children. This is the date for Father’s Day in Australia where children, grandchildren, and step children show their appreciation for their fathers or father figures. Here are some fascinating little facts about Father’s Day. Father’s Day is not a public holiday in Australia. It falls on a Sunday, which is a day off for many workers so many offices and stores are closed. However, some shopping precincts and stores, as well as restaurants, cafes and entertainment venues, may be busy on Father’s Day, especially in areas where Sunday trading is allowed. There are some suggestions that the idea of Father’s Day may originate in pagan sun

Set on 2 acres of garden space in a 1930’s house, the Heritage Tavern embodies the ambience of a gentler era.

worship. Some branches of paganism see the sun as the father of the universe. Father’s Day in Australia occurs on the first Sunday of September. Father’s Day in some countries is on the third Sunday of June, which is close to the June solstice. The idea of a special day to honor fathers and celebrate fatherhood was introduced from the United States. A woman called Sonora Smart Dodd was inspired by the American Mother’s Day celebrations and planned a day to honor fathers early in the 20th century. The first Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane, Washington on June 19, 1910. Father’s Day in Australia is celebrated with special lunches, breakfast in bed, handmade cards and gifts, store bought presents and cards.

FATHER’S DAY Tillys at Tyabb welcomes baby Hugh TILLY S at Tyabb has become a favorite haunt for locals and visitors alike to catch up over a cuppa and cake or a delicious meal. Having relocated from one side of the famous Tyabb antique shopping strip to the other in May this year, there’s more exciting news to come with the family welcoming baby Hugh on August 21. “He is the first grandson and great grandson and we absolutely adore him,” said Robyn Cross, Tillys at Tyabb owner. With the move across the road, Robyn says the response has been incredible. “I’ve had such a great response from old and new customers. We were in a little house before this and now are on the main street. Our kitchen is larger and so we have introduced new foods to the menu as well as the old favorites.”

Tillys at Tyabb still has the same wonderful, friendly staff, and now offer the bonus of all day breakfasts. “We also do our very popuar high teas on Saturday and Sunday 3pm till 5pm,” said Robyn. “We have replicated the feel of the original Tillys at Tyabb, with recycled fence posts that have been varnished to line the walls. We have lots of beautiful antiques and a gas log fire to relax in front of while you enjoy a coffee and chat with friends. It’s exactly the same cosy, welcoming feel as across the road, just a slightly larger premises, and easier to spot on the main road.” Tillys at Tyabb is at 1552 Franston Flinders Road, Tyabb.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Great wardrobe malfunctions of history By Stuart McCullough I FELT sorry for him. As he stood in the doorway for the 7.34 limited express from Frankston to Flinders Street, the young man was acutely aware of the gargantuan error he had made. Although it was next to freezing, he chose to hold his jacket rather than wear it. The reason was simple: in the early morning haste to get ready, he had taken a jacket (blue) that did not match his trousers (black). Had he worn them together, he would have looked like a dimly lit Neenish tart. It’s one of the hazards of getting dressed in the dark. No-one’s immune. Even the slightest miscalculation can become a fullyfledged fashion disaster. Having been born in the seventies, I ought to be impervious to bad fashion choices. Mine was the generation that was swaddled in flared nappies, whose entire wardrobe was highly combustible. My favourite piece of clothing as a child was, without doubt, my dressing gown. At the back just below the collar was a tag that described the item as ‘inflammable’. This, I had incorrectly assumed, meant that it could not be destroyed by fire. As fire was our only form of heating, it was just as well. I would stand on the hearth, heating myself and wondering why smoke was starting to pour from under my armpits. But it wasn’t only combustible dressing gowns. Shorts with a high thigh-split and bright piping; tracksuits made of super-synthetic materials that, when you walked, generated enough static electricity to power a small town – this is how our parents

chose to dress us. Forget wind farms and solar. True renewable energy comes from a dodgy tracksuit. If we could only convince hipsters to ditch their hemp trousers and skinny jeans in favour of classic seventies tracksuits, this country could meet its re-

newable energy targets as easily as a return trip to the shops. Skivvies, in contrast, were not a viable alternative energy source. The bulk of my formative years were spent wearing a skivvy. They seemed to suit almost every occa-

sion. I’m not sure why, in a moment of collective madness, the country and world more generally so wholly embraced the skivvy. Personally, I’d like to think that my parents were subtly referencing great radical skivvy wearers of yesteryear. To the naked eye, my baby blue skivvy was something that’d been bought on sale from Target but, in actual fact, it was a subtle tribute to French philosopher and allround turtle neck champion, Michel Foucault. Looking back through old school photos, I am often struck by how many of my fellow students at Tyabb Primary were also big fans of Foucault. The class picture from 1978 is a veritable sea of skivvies. As the seventies surrendered to the eighties, things went from bad to worse. Granted, flares went the way of the dodo, but fashion designers dreamed up new and elaborate means by which to humiliate the broader public and ensure that looking through an old photo album would be something that would inspire either awe at the sheer audacity of it all or could only be done whilst staring in horror from behind your fingers. Frankie may well say ‘Relax’ but he also says ‘I can’t believe you’re wearing that.’ I speak, in particular, of acid wash jeans. Special mention must be made of acid wash jeans. The concept of distressed denim began simply but quickly got way out of hand. What began as a subtle variation on a theme soon spiraled into something that not only looked terrible but may well have threatened Western Civilisation as we know it. Before long, denim was not so much distressed as it was complete-

ly inconsolable. But as mullet-headed youth lined up to purchased acid wash jeans, I decided to take an altogether different path. I decided to make my own acid wash. In hipster terms, this would be referred to as ‘bespoke acid wash’. In reality, it involved taking a pair of pants and dipping them in a bucket with a bleach solution. After waiting the appropriate time, the jeans were removed and given a separate wash to ensure all the corrosive chemicals had dissolved and did not threaten to permanently disfigure your nether regions. I was overly optimistic. In my mind, my home made acid wash would be a thing of splendour that would cause other youths to weep with envy as I strolled purposively through the Bayside shopping complex. The reality was something far less appealing. My homemade acid wash jeans were a sight to behold; but not in a good way. They weren’t so much distressed as pretty well close to deceased. In fact, they were too bespoke. A little bespoke can be charming, but too much bespoke and you’re wasting your time. But too proud to admit that my attempt to enter the world of high fashion had been a spectacular fail, I wore them all the same. The guy on the train was clearly embarrassed by his non-matching suit. Truth be told, I really felt for him. As the train approached Flinders Street station, I got to my feet, putting my hand on his shoulder as a small sign of camaraderie. Adjusting my bespoke acid wash jeans, I wished him well. Then I was gone. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

STACKHOUSE UNPLUGGED AND UP CLOSE By Terri Lee Fatouros

He cuts a sultry, brooding, and complex figure on stage as he sings and plays his Cigar Box Chuggar guitar. His voice matches his sideburns and hair; lustrous, wild and imbued with cool. Wearing a captain’s hat, stripped t-shirt, multi-buttoned jacket and black jeans, he looks a mix of pirate and neo romantic expression. Born of Hungarian parents, Adam Kovarik is the front man of pioneering indie band Stackhouse, blending a unique blend of Australian blues and rock. It would be fair to say that Stackhouse lives up to the quintessential, Melbourne underground grunge rock and blues band but with one difference; these guys are gifted and rising fast. Let’s face it, when you have wild man Kim Volkman of the Whiskey Priests playing distorted Cigar Box bass, Venom of House Wreckers on drums and Jake Ellis on Cigar Box lead, you’re going to get crazy action going down. Stackhouse is the first Australian all Cigar Box Guitar band and their songs are pretty darn good. These delightful guitars are traditionally three and four strings and create a unique sound unlike any other type of guitar. They produce a harmonic depth of range that can alternate from deep resonance to high pitch and trebly sounds. Some even suggest it’s like a vintage tone that is straight from the south. “Making Cigar Box Guitars stemmed from my interest in old blues music that originally began in the Mississippi, deep south of America where money was little but the passion to make music was very high. Out of empty cigar boxes people would put a stick through the box and stretch wire the length of the instrument to create a unique sound playing with a bottleneck as a slide. This fascinated me so I began to build guitars myself, progressively they became more playable and sounded better and better. They are all one off unique functional pieces of art. Interestingly, Stackhouse started primarily from the making of my Cigar Box guitars, which in fact was inspired from the music in the TV series True Blood, as I originally thought it was a Cigar Box being played. Even though it wasn’t, it got me interested in the guitars that got me building them. So when a musician friend of mine suggested we put together an all Cigar Box guitar band and create our own Melbourne bitter flavour of music to showcase the guitars I build, I thought, ‘why not?’. I already had a few songs written and Ellis and myself wrote some more which resulted in recording our debut album, Stackhouse, an album of all original material, ” says Kovarik. Currently they are waiting for their second

never play it. Each guitar has its unique, individual style and appeal. Recently Kovarik widened his range by experimenting with different woods and box size, thus creating additional musical works of art. Anyone turning his or her nose up at a Cigar Box guitar would be wise to think again. Tom Waits played Cigar Box Banjo on his album Real Gone. PJ Harvey plays a Baratto Cigar Fiddle, Bo Diddley plays a cigar box shaped guitar and Luther Dickinson, the guitarist from the North Mississippi Allstars uses an electric Cigar Box guitar called the ‘Lowebow’. While cool dude, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top performs with a Cigar Box guitar made by Kurt Schoen. Even way back in 1967 saw Jimi Hendrix – Summer of Love gig playing a home made Diddley Box! These guitars are not only beautifully made, but look cool and sound really amazing producing very different resonances compared to your ordinary run of the mill guitars. album Jack the Dancer to be mastered; and so far they have had a good response from it. This album is themed and Kovarik builds the character of Jack the Dancer, an evil man, who you might think has gone away but only to return. Therefore, the album is the story of ‘Jack the Dancer’, a reference to cancer and of life’s experiences. Just when you think cancer has gone…it comes back! Although Kovarik is the main writer, their second album saw Ellis and Venom contributing their creative input. “I might have a notion or we’d be jamming and an idea would manifest. In fact most of the second album came from the three of us jamming, but lyrically I wrote most of it.” Previous bands for Kovarik were Two Bob Watch, and Stinky Gypies, and like Stackhouse he told his stories on stage through his music, twisting facts but with a little truth peppered throughout. “You know I make up a character and tell some crazy things. For example one of the songs in Stinky Gypsies was called If You Don’t Ask You Don’t Get. That idea was from somebody saying that to me.” His creativity just comes to him and he takes full advantage of it when it does. “There is a song on the first album that had to be written. Any time a person says ‘I don’t know’ you’ll hear, ‘well, google it’. So I wrote a song called Google It. On our new album there is a song called Break

Into My Car, which is really inspired by Venom telling me a story about him and Phil Parra loading their car full of equipment after a gig in Castlemaine when they accidentally locked the keys in. That’s what inspired that song. The new album has a beginning and an end.” Kovarik is a big fan of Alice Cooper and Tom Waits whom both are big storytellers in their own right. So it’s no wonder when Kovarik hits the stage the unexpected can and often does occur. By day Kovarik is a mechanic and has worked on most of the band members cars. In fact he told me the full story about how the band did come together. “Brian Colechin, who now has played bass on both albums, found me through the internet as he needed a mechanic and read the reviews about me and contacted me. I fixed his car and he saw the guitars and said ‘what the hell, this is fantastic’ and suggested we put a band together. Colechin was playing with Venom in The Hell Hounds at that time. Anyway, Venom came around to have his car fixed and when he saw the guitars he was keen to gig. We all got along so well that we actually recorded our first album in record time. On both albums we had guest musician, Michelangelo Russo who is an atmospheric dude-playing trumpet, keys, and harmonica.” Over the years he has custom made a lot of guitars for different musicians as well as selling stunning pieces for people who just want to hang them on their wall. Some of the best ones have been sold to people who’ll

Kovarik’s hope for Stackhouse is to tour and be acknowledged for his songwriting, commitment, and effort he puts into the band. Let’s face it, music is his life; he lives, breathes, and makes it. He sums up rather wisely though. “As good as a musician you can be, without a good song you don’t go anywhere.” There really is a distinctive buzz around Stackhouse, with all the right ingredients in the mix. Kovarik’s showmanship and storytelling play out in his songs, and when combined with his siren prop eerily wailing throughout, it adds that darker, otherworldly feel, like in Alice Cooper’s shows. Kovarik’s wielding, blending and storytelling in his music is intense and you just feel there’s something deeper going on. In fact, if Stackhouse were given the right stage dramatics such as lighting, props, costumes, fire extravaganza, etc, they would be world famous, world class in a blink of an eye. Something to think about, boys! Stackhouse is on the rise and fast. With gigs at The Espy, Mr. Boogie Man Bar, Cheery Bar, Northcote Social, and many other venues under their belt, the guys are fast becoming hot property and bookings are flowing in. Luckily for us, Stackhouse is coming our way soon so keep a look out for the extraordinary music and show the band has to offer. stackhouse1.bandcamp.com www.facebook.com/stackhousetheband Western Port News 1 September 2015

Eagles just manage to hold on NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt SOMERVILLE will play Rosebud in the second semi-final next Saturday at Rye’s RJ Rowley Reserve after holding off a late charge from Sorrento in the Nepean Division qualifying final. Leading by four points at the final change, Somerville kicked three goals in the opening eight minutes of the final quarter to open up what appeared to be a match winning and game-high 27-point lead. However, as it so often has done this season, the Eagles took the foot off the pedal and allowed Sorrento back into the contest. The Sharks responded with three quick goals of their own to reduce the margin to nine points, before the Eagles extended it back to 15 midway through the last. Life was breathed back into the contest at the 23-minute mark after goals to Myles Pitt and then a real lifter by coach Troy Schwarze reduced the margin to a single point. Eagles coach David Hirst, whos attack on the footy was vintage throughout the contest, earned a headhigh free kick at the 27-minute mark of the last and converted to extend the lead back to seven points. The siren sounded at 30 minutes and 22 seconds and the scoreboard read 12.7 (79) to 11.6 (72). Sorrento will play Red Hill in the first semi-final at Tyabb on Sunday after the Hillmen led all afternoon to beat Hastings. After just 12 goals were kicked in the opening three quarters, the qualifying final opened up in the last with 11 majors. Sorrento led all of the key indicators with 45 to 42 inside 50m entries and 26 to 22 clearances. It also had the top three players on the ground in Daniel Grant, Luke Tapscott and Jon Croad. Grant was superb from half back and through the middle of the ground and finished with 26 possessions. Tapscott was a bull through the middle and hit the scoreboard with a game-high three majors and Croad was outstanding for two quarters in the back half and in the last quarter in the ruck.

After watching Croad dominate early, Somerville made a master decision to push Ben Sedgwick forward and play defensively, while trying to hurt him offensively too. Sedgewick booted a goal. Grant was the best player on the ground, despite some of his own teammates disagreeing with the decision. The Eagles had a spread of good players, Tim McGenniss being the best of them. Timmy had a poor last quarter though with just two posses-

sions after collecting 19 in the first three quarters. Rowan Hogenbirk looked 80 per cent fit with a thigh strain but still collected 20 touches, Luke Collie was outstanding in the back half and Todd Farrelly had the better of Myles Pitt in a great contest. The turn in the match in the last quarter come from arguably the oldest player on the ground. Held together with strapping, Leigh Stewart wound back the clock and had 10 possessions in the last quarter

and five centre clearances. He willed his team forward on countless occasions and was the difference when it mattered. The Eagles will be glad to get that final out of the way. Their skills below their knees was poor in the opening three quarters and their decision making going forward of centre was too delayed. It allowed Sorrento to get numbers back. Pressure of finals will ensure below par skill level. However, Rosebud is the best pressure side in the business

and they will make Somerville pay this weekend if they don’t sharpen up. Again, the Eagles need to play for 100 minutes. They almost learned the harshest of lessons when Sorrento hit back when it appeared the game was over. Sorrento will go into the first semi final this weekend without their most consistent player of 2015, Tyrren Head, who went off the ground early in the second quarter with a shoulder injury. He won’t play again this season. Leigh Treeby missed with a hamstring injury. He might play this week, however, will miss the preliminary final due to a wedding in Bali. Guy Stringer, fresh from surgery to reattach his bicep to the bone, will play this week in his 401st game. Red Hill survived a last quarter charge from Hastings to win 15.9 (99) to 10.12 (72). The Hillmen set up the win with a blistering six goal to zip first quarter. The Blues looked flat while the Hillmen set the tone with relentless pressure. The Blues were able to reduce the margin to 38 points at three quarter time, before dominating the opening 18 minutes of the last quarter. Red Hill booted the last four goals of the game to record what was a deserved, comfortable victory. Red Hill’s defence was superb, led by Dan McNamara, who had 29 possessions. Jake Mold was sensational across half forward and Peter and Marcus Dal Lago dominated. Jake Mitchell was in total control in the first half and Matt Vagg and Harry Larwill were a handful in attack with five goals between them. Michael Dillon sent a shock through the Red Hill camp last in the game when he came off with a knee injury, however, there was good news after the game with no structural damage reported. Paul Rogasch was magnificent for the Blues – he finished with four goals and 25 posessions playing back, forward and midfield. Shaun Foster, Matt Clifford, Peter Mawson and Josh Mulheron were also outstanding for four quarters.

Kangas win for Artico PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN denied Karingal its one and only win for the season on Saturday after coming from six goals down early in the match. In coach Gavin Artico’s last game at the helm, the Kangaroos trailed by as much as 36 points early in the match after the Bulls came out desperate to win their first game of the season. However, the Kangas slowly worked their way back into the contest and got to within 15 points at the halfway mark of the match. It wasn’t until late in the game that the home side hit the front, eventually winning 12.11 (83) to 12.6 (78). Langwarrin players Matt Naughton and Gerard Brown chaired Artico from the ground at the end of the game. Artico said although the club had potential, it still had a long way to go before it could challenge the top sides in the competition. “There is a core group of players who really care. Unfortunately, there’s too many players who just don’t care enough,” said Artico. “Unfortunately, one of those players who leaves everything out on the field is Rikki Johnston and he’s at Dromana next season. There’s also a few considering retirement. “The next generation of players need to work to change the culture of the group. The potential is certainly there but the application needs to come.” Artico said the next coach needed to be prepared to do some hard work. “Langwarrin isn’t a list, I believe, that can be taken over and transformed immediately. It’s going to take some time. “The raw potential is there but it’s a fair way off the Frankston YCW’s, Mt Eliza’s and Mornington’s. “We’ve shown we can compete with these teams (beat YCW, lost to Mornington by a point and Mt Eliza by 23) but there is a lot of work to do. “There is some good talent in the under 19s that needs further development and the under 17s are playing in a grand final next weekend.

“The future is bright but the next coach needs to be patient in his expectations.” Artico said he doubted very much that he would be lured out of retirement in the next 12 months. “Anyone who knows me understands I’m a competitive animal and I love the game. I love being at footy clubs. However, my wife Lisa and my kids have been very supportive of me and given me the opportunity to do what I love every week. It’s time for me to be with them for a while,” said Artico.

Langwarrin is expected to start interviews with coaches this week and the calibre of applicants is extremely high. While rumours persist that there has been an appointment made, president Sam Watson said “the club needs to interview coaches before making an appointment”. At Karingal, Michael Burke, who was arguably his team’s best on Saturday, also coached his last game. Bulls president Daniel Watts said the club would make an announcement on the new coach on Tuesday, however, conceded that the appointment would

be made within the club. The hot tip is under 19s coach Michael Triep. Bonbeach threw a major spanner into the finals preparations of Mornington after coming from behind at half time to smash the visitors 15.10 (100) to 10.10 (70). The Sharks restricted the Doggies to just two goals in the second half while piling on nine of their own. Brad Sykes was superb for the winners with three goals in a best on ground performance while Chris Bryan continued to set himself up for a great 2016 after another strong per-

formance. Coming off a knee, Bryan has been superb in the latter stages of the season. Ryan O’Dell, Jake Smart and Joel Miller were the best of the Dogs. Pines was made to work extremely hard in the final game of the year, coming from 16 points down at three quarter time to get over Chelsea 17.13 (115) to 16.12 (108). The Pythons booted nine goals to five in the last quarters with Aaron Edwards booting six goals and Guy Hendry three while Caleb Gray played arguably his best game for the club. Richard Jaroszczuk, Alex Smout and Hudson Thomas were the best of the Gulls. Mt Eliza will enjoy a well-earned break after holding off Edithvale-Aspendale and recording a commanding 50-point win. The Eagles went with the home team early in the match, however, the Redlegs blasted five goals to three behinds in the third quarter to open up the lead to 46 points. With no Justin Van Unen, Ben lean booted four majors and Ben Landry and Tim Strickland kicked three each while Aaron Dunne and Matt Lillie were superb. Zac Muschialli, Mark Mullins and Tim Mannix were the best of the Eagles. Frankston YCW handed Seaford an absolute belting at Seaford Rd Reserve, winning 23.24 (162) to 5.2 (32). It was a very different looking Stonecats that made the field, resting a lot of players before a heavy finals campaign. There were at least eight players who would have played less than three games this season for the Stonecats. Regardless of the inexperience, YCW kicked 14 goals in the opening half and another nine in the second hour, while strangling the Tigers at the same time. David Bodley booted six for the winners while Kyle StAnne booted three goals on debut. Scott Macleod and Michael Debenham were superb. Kane Taylor and Dean Williamson were the best of the Tigers.

Karate kids shine at nationals ON the weekend of the 7 -9 of August the Australian Karate Federation held their National Championships in Adelaide. The Victorian team consisted of karate athletes from all over the state ranging in age from nine year old to over forty-five year old divisions. The Victorian team was a strong one with 12 athletes from the Mornington Ishinryu Dojo. Fourteen-year-old Jade Colver –Vella, a Padua College student, has now become a four time National Champion and two time Oceania champion. A veteran of the sport at such a young age, she won three gold medals at the competition; female cadet (54kg division) and then the following day took on all the cadet girls in the open-weight division and won gold in that. Jade’s weekend wasn’t over yet. She was selected into the female cadet teams and the girls took out the gold in that one also. Dean Hollowood won gold in the men’s 75kg division and also a gold in the men’s team event. Sean Armitage won a gold medal in the male 12-13 years division. First year athlete on the Victorian Team Ally Lourensz was a star in the 10 years

female division winning gold. This tops off a great year for Ally also winning the Victorian championships and the Australian Open earlier this year. Mason Riley Won Gold in the cadet male division. Victorian Coach and chief instructor at the Mornington Dojo Sensei Peter Hollowood said “I couldn’t be happier with my athletes this year. Our training for this comp started in the first week of January and my guys haven’t missed a beat. They are all true champions”. Others to do well Abbey Power (1 silver, 1 bronze), Zac Andrewartha (1 silver 1 bronze), Harris Walburn (1 bronze), and Kyal Angel (1 bronze). Coming up for the Dojo champions, Abbey Power has been selected to Compete for Australia at the Commonwealth Karate Championships in India in September. Dean Hollowood has been selected for Australia to represent at the German Open in September. Jade Colver-Vella, Zac Andrewartha and Mason Riley Have been selected to compete for Australia at the cadet/junior World Championships in Jakarta, Indonesia, in November.

Hastings go down fighting in elimination loss HASTINGS FNC

By Phil Stone, club president THE day started with blue skies over Olympic Park in Rosebud with the Hastings seniors playing in the elimination final; its first final for three years. The boys were coming off a bad loss the week before and were coming into this game with their confidence down. The first quarter starts with the Red Hill boys kicking with the aid of a four goal breeze which they used to perfection opening up their account fairly quickly. Before our boys knew it they were four goals down. With the quarter time siren, we were six goals down and it wasn’t looking too good. The break couldn’t come any quicker! Our senior coach, Brendan Dunne, spoke with passion urging our boys to get their heads in the game and play the way they have all year. The second quarter started and the boys were a little slow out the blocks with Red Hill kicking the first into the breeze. We are now down by seven goals and things weren’t looking great. We then steadied and kicked the next couple to bring the margin slightly closer. By the half time break the boys had kicked five goals with the aid of the strong breeze but we were still at the six goal margin that had been built by Red Hill FNC. The third quarter is normally the premiership quarter, and this was going to be the case with the boys playing a terrific brand of footy into the wind. With nine inside 50 metre marks

which resulted in only 2 majors for the quarter it ended up being very wasteful. As we approached the last quarter, it was now or never with the boys coming out with a terrific sense that they could win the game. With the aid of a strong wind the boys kicked the first three goals which bought us to within nine points. It was game on! But when you play catch up footy the toll can begin to show. Red Hill kept its legs and ended up winning by five goals. This was certainly a great opportunity for our club in season 2015. With many lessons learnt for our young playing group, the opportunity to play finals footy for the first time in three years will certainly not be lost on them They now look forward to doing another pre-season in the hope that we can build on what we have been able to achieve in season 2015. Congratulations to our wonderful coaching group lead by our newly resigned coach for season 2016, Brendan Dunne, and his group of assistants. Better players from the elimination final loss where T. Green, P. Rogasch, P Mawson, J Mulheron, M Clifford, S Foster. Up Coming Functions: Presentation Night. 10th October. Start time 6.00 pm. $50.00 single.
