Concern over resort’s cranes THE permits have been issued and the works are well under way, but there is no end to protests over expansion of the RACV’s resort at Cape Schanck.

It is an extension to operating hours granted to the builders of the $50 million, 120-room resort that causing the latest upset.

Nearby property owners say Mornington Peninsula Shire has not given due consideration to noise levels and working hours nas outlined by EPA Victoria.

The shire’s principal planner Krystal Blizzard says the go ahead is “reasonable� and the mayor, Cr Graham Pittock, says he’s unaware of residents’ concerns.

Candidates lining up for poll Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au TWENTY-FIVE candidates had signed up by late yesterday (Monday) to contest next month’s election for the 11 seats on Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

The shire has six wards, with three councillors each in Briars and Seawinds wards, two in Nepean and one each in Cerberus, Red Hill and Watson.

By Monday, just three of the shire’s

10 councillors – Hugh Fraser (Nepean), Antonella Celi (Seawinds) and Bev Colomb (Briars) - were listed as candidates by the VEC. Cr David Garnock (Cerberus) has previously told The News he would be standing.

Crs Anne Shaw and Andrew Dixon (Briars) and David Gibb (Seawinds) have said they will not seek reelection, while Tim Wood (Red Hill), Tim Rodgers (Nepean) and the mayor Graham Pittock had yet to publicly declare their intentions.

There has been no serving councillor in Watson ward since the May resignation of Lynn Bowden which did not require a by-election because of the scheduled 22 October poll. Lisa Dixon, a former president of Western Port chamber of commerce, sent a text to The News to confirm she had paid her $250 nomination fee and would stand in Watson ward.

Nominations close at midday today (Tuesday 20 September) and it is expected that more candidates will register with the Victorian Electoral Com-

mission, which is running the poll.

The close of nominations signals the shire going into “caretaker mode� – a 32-day period which bans the current council making “inappropriate decisions� or “those that would affect voting at an election or decisions that may unreasonably bind an incoming council and could reasonably be deferred until after the election�.

A “special� council meeting last night (Monday) called for councillors to give the go ahead for proceedings aimed at forcing Mt Martha Ten-

nis Club to relinquish leased land for an $825,000 skatepark; abandoning a planning scheme amendment that would have allowed a plane to be kept on private property abutting Tyabb airfield (Page 3); subdivision of the former Carrington Park golf course, Rosebud; and supporting efforts to preserve the Dromana pier.

The caretaker mode ban prevents shire staff and resources being used for election campaigning “or in a way that may improperly influence the result of an election�

Crews enjoy the cruise THE good ship Enterprize sailed into Mornington harbour all shipshape and Bristol fashion on Friday – thanks to the quality seamanship of its Peninsula School crew.

The eight students, with an average age of 16, had spent a “fairly wet week” out on the bay on the 1830 top-sail schooner which is a replica of the original ship which was sailed across from Launceston leading to the founding of Melbourne in 1835.

The student crew sailed from Docklands to Portarlington, anchored off Blairgowrie, sailed to Geelong and then to St Leonards before berthing at Mornington.

Bid for private hangar abandoned Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A MORNINGTON Peninsula council candidate has withdrawn an application for a planning scheme amendment that would allow planes to be on her property abutting Tyabb airfield.

Lisa Dixon and her husband Ken Ingersoll had sought approval to amend planning rules over their property in Stuart Rd, Tyabb.

Ms Dixon says she intends to stand for the Watson ward seat left vacant since the resignation in May of former councillor, Lynn Bowden.

“It has been a massive journey, not to mention the financial and emotional toll it has placed on us,” Ms Dixon said in a letter asking the shire’s strategic planning manager Allan Cowley to end the amendment process.

The shire’s decision to exhibit the planning scheme amendment came despite a 2014 ruling that any decision on use of the site must wait until completion of the Tyabb Airfield Precinct Plan which is expected to begin this month.

Objectors claimed the move would give the Peninsula Aero Club member Ken Ingersoll “backdoor approval for a hangar in spite of the still-valid 2004 reasons for it not being there” (“Anger over hangar plan” The News 19/7/16).

Tyabb and District Ratepayers’ Group sees the use of private land to store aircraft as “an incremental expansion of the airfield”.

Ms Dixon’s letter to Mr Cowley thanked him for the “inordinate amount of time and effort you have spent over the past five years in trying to deliver an outcome for the No. 2 shed at 62 Stuart Rd”.

Mr Cowley told the council in April that a VCAT order to remove the shed “was deferred pending broader consideration of issues relating to the Tyabb airfield and is no longer in force”.

“In this case a site specific amendment under Clause 52.03 (Site Specific Exemptions) is proposed, to make the most limited change possible in order to enable the use of the existing building by the owner of the property for private storage.”

The preparation of a precinct plan for the Airfield was one of the recommendations of the Tyabb township plan adopted by council in May 2012.

Shire officers have recommended that the amendment be abandoned.

“This will not prevent consideration of a new amendment proposal in future.”

Ms Dixon said “personal attacking from the Tyabb ratepayer group - while not acceptable - was born out of the continual frustration of being promised a township plan. We were the ‘cat’ to kick to make themselves heard”.

Ratepayers’ group members Peter and Val Davis said in July that there was still a VCAT order in force prohibiting use of the land for aircraft storage, which would lapse if the amendment application was successful.

In 2011 Mr Ingersoll was ordered by Frankston Magistrates’ Court to pay a $10,000 “bond” for building the shed without a permit in 2010 and for storing 11 aircraft on the site.

VCAT also ordered Mr Ingersoll to stop using the shed as a hangar and remove any aircraft.

The shire has not been able to provide The News with details of how much it has spent on processing the planning amendment requested by Ms Dixon and Mr Ingersoll.

Ms Dixon has also asked council to not order demolition of the shed, saying that they would continue to abide by a Victorian and Civil Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) ruling “of leaving it vacant”.

“I wish to make it clear that should I be, or not be, successfully elected to council in the upcoming elections, I will be striving forward to seeing an eventual plan come into fruition for the betterment of the Tyabb community,” Ms Dixon stated in her letter to Mr Cowley.

She also sent the letter to many people “due to the fact that over time they have been directly dragged into this through a number of channels”.

Ms Nation, 24, was a surprise choice for the 31-year-old, who had shocked fans of the reality TV show when he sent home fan favourite and fellow Perth resident Nikki Gogan.

When interviewed for Peninsula

Ms Nation juggles parenting with managing her parent’s restaurant, Benito’s, and part-time modelling.

Burn bans eased for October BURN-OFF restrictions on small Mornington Peninsula properties will be eased next month so fuel loads can be reduced before the fire season.

Open air burning will be allowed 9am-4pm Fridays and Saturdays on land less than 1500 square metres – but there are conditions. No more than one cubic metre of vegetation can be burnt at any one time; the fire cannot be within 10 metres of any neighbouring dwelling and the General Fire Safety Provisions must be followed at all times.

Open air burning is otherwise banned on properties less than 1500 square metres.

“Residents are reminded that burn-off material should not be wet, or green, and that safety precautions should be taken at all times,” Mornington Peninsula sShire’s acting municipal fire prevention officer Katie McKenzie said.

“This is a great chance to clean up around your property, but ensure you do it responsibly and safely, and keep your neighbours and local authorities informed.”

General fire safety provisions mean giving 24 hours’ notice to adjoining landowners or occupiers of the burn and calling 1800 668 511 at least two hours before to log the fire with the CFA. Other rules include establishing a fire break of not less than three metres cleared of all flammable material; having an adult supervise the fire at all times; having fire protection equip-

ment handy and ensuring the vegetation to be burnt is dead and dry.

Also, don’t burn off if the wind speed is more than 20 kilometres per hour.

Open air burning rules for land more than 1500 square metres and more than 40,000 square metres are unchanged.

To determine the size of your property go to gisweb.mornpen.vic.gov.au/ penmaps.

Bayside path A PATH and seawall costing $1.56 million are planned to connect Sullivan Bay to Camerons Bight at the Eastern Sister headland, Sorrento.

The headland houses the historic Collins Settlement, Victoria’s first official settlement, which dates back to 1803 and includes graves, asphalt paths, monuments and lookouts.

The project will enable pedestrian access along a 270 metre rock revetment topped with a two metre wide crushed rock path and will be partly financed by a $500,000 contribution from the developer of a five-lot subdivision at 3080 Point Nepean Rd. The path will be two metres above the average sea level to take into account storm tides and predicted future sea level rise. Construction is expected to start in early April 2017.

Safety shelters: Tootgarook cubs and their parents help build wooden shelters designed to protect chicks of the hooded plover.

The shelters, which are placed on beaches above the high tide line to protect the chicks from avian predators like kestrels, are 10 degrees cooler on a hot summer days. Picture: Supplied

Grant to protect plovers FRIENDS of the Hooded Plover on the Mornington Peninsula have had their dedication recognised by the state government with a $4155 Coastcare grant.

The friends’ project, “Citizen science to the rescue: finding out more about beach-nesters on Western Port beaches” will provide specific nest site and chick monitoring. It will also pay for temporary fencing and signs to protect new nests from being crushed by recreational beach users and provide a refuge for chicks.

President Diane Lewis said volunteers would collect scientific data for BirdLife Australia.

“Volunteers will work with land managers and BirdLife Australia to

encourage and offer educational opportunities with local schools,” she said.

“A talking to the public workshop will be offered to new and existing members and also to land managers to empower them when educating the public. This will cover dealing with the many questions and misconceptions the public often has regarding the hooded plover.”

Community organisations were encouraged to apply for funding from the $150,000 Coastcare Victoria Community Grants Program, which supports the conservation, restoration and rehabilitation of coastal and marine environments along Victoria’s 1800 kilometre coastline.

Eastern Victorian Region MP Daniel Mulino said 27 community groups successfully applied for up to $7500 to undertake projects that help protect and enhance the coastal and nearshore marine environment.

“I congratulate the Friends of the Hooded Plover on their initiative and commitment to our environment,” Mr Mulino said.

Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the funding supported coastal projects that will achieve visible and lasting improvement and engage directly with the local community, including volunteers to deliver onground works.

Wagner’s, which was established in 1979, also outfitted the Australian equestrian team for the Beijing and Sydney Olympics as well as the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky, US, in 2013.

Team officials contracted the company for 22 riding outfits, but Ms Wagner would not divulge the size of the deal.

“Everything’s got to be made in time and we have the first eight to 10 riders settled but a decision on the others is not made until the last minute and they are all different shapes and sizes.

“We are lucky with the advances in technology that allow us to make outfits that look good and are superior in comfort.

“It’s nice when it’s all done and everything fits and looks good; it’s such a relief.”

“We showed our range of fabrics and colours and demonstrated how we could put it all together and we were accepted.”

A dressage competitor herself, Ms Wagner said it was a test of her skills to obtain correct jacket, breaches and helmet measurements via email from the Australian riders based in the US, England, Germany, the Netherlands and England, as well as the two pentathletes in Hungary.

ALTHOUGH they were thousands of kilometres away in Somerville, Caroline and Peter Wagner rode the highs and lows along with members of Australia’s Olympic equestrian team at Rio. The couple’s business Wagners Saddlery supplied the bespoke clothing for all members of the eventing, dressage, show jumping and Paralympic teams.

And, now that the fortnight’s frenetic competition is over, they can relax a little and take stock of another hectic period in their business lives.

Ms Wagner said she and Peter and their six staff were proud of the way competitors looked in their tailored jackets, riding breeches, shirts, boots and hats.

They also dressed gold medalwinning pentathlete Chloe Esposito for the show jumping segment of her event, as well as her brother Max, also a pentathlete, and former Pearcedale equestrian competitor Sam Griffiths, now based in the UK. Ms Wagner says the heat and humidity of the host country played a huge part in their choice of fabric, which is sourced from Switzerland.

“It has to have the ability to stretch and be breathable and comply with the colour code,” she said.

“It has to look good, be comfortable and work to the best of the rider’s ability.”

The garments consisted of white shirts and breeches, navy jackets with gold collars and forest green piping and badges with the Olympic rings

Medal win at the big event PEARCEDALE man Bill Griffiths has been smiling ever since his son Sam’s equestrian success at the Rio Olympics.

The international rider and member of the Australian eventing team won a team bronze medal and placed fourth individually making him the equestrian team’s best performer at the games.

“It was a great effort,” Mr Griffiths (senior) said last week.

“He did a great job for Australia; the Germans were red-hot favourites but Sam put us back into a gold medalwinning position – it was a great effort, he did brilliantly.”

Day one of the eventing was dressage, day two cross country where Sam tackled 44 jumps against the clock and day three was show jumping, which involved teams and individual performances.

“Sam was the first rider out and he was one of only three riders without any jumping penalties,” Mr Griffiths said.

Sam, 44, who is based in England with his wife Lucy – also an elite equestrian – began riding at the Pearcedale Pony Club 35 years ago.

“We came here in the 1950s,” Mr Griffiths said. “Sam’s born-and-bred Pearcedale and went to Pearcedale Primary and then Peninsula School. He left for England 15 years ago for time off after finishing a geography degree at Monash University and decided to stay and make a career for himself as an event rider and horse trainer.”

Sam’s career highlights include being a member of the Australian team at the London Olympics in 2012, being a reserve for the 2004 Athens and 2008 Beijing Games, winning the 2014 Badminton Horse Trials, and placing 16th individually and fourth in the team event at the World Equestrian Games in Normandy the same year.

“He is very Australian, even though he lives in England, and has 15-20 horses in training,” his dad said.

It’s not hard to tell why the horse riding events were a non-negotiable part of the Griffiths’ Olympic viewing. “We didn’t go over there but didn’t miss a minute of it on TV.” Stephen Taylor

Two faces behind portrait show WHILE speaking with portrait artists Fiona Bilbrough and Vicki Sullivan it becomes clear that their subjects are much more than mere objects to be represented as one-dimensional art.

Sullivan likes to have lunch with her subjects and have at least two sittings in her Rye studio.

The lunch provides a relaxed way “to study the structure of the head, skin tones and the character in the hands�.

Bilbrough, who is exhibiting her works alongside Sullivan’s in a Portraits exhibition at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, spends “many hours conjuring up a concept that will hopefully look appealing to me enough to sustain my interest long past the early hours of getting to know the model�.

The interaction between artist and model can extend well beyond those times devoted to planning and application of paint.

Bilbrough’s choosing to paint anti-domestic violence campaigner Rosie Batty has had a profound and ongoing effect. “Rosie is a woman who I felt should be painted in a manner that forced people to look again. Look again at the face behind the tragedy that unfolded in front of the world. One woman walking the path no woman should ever have to face,� Bilbrough says of the tragedy that was revealed when her estranged partner Greg Anderson murdered their 11-year-old son Luke during a regular cricket practice at Tyabb in 2014. “We still have an incredibly long way to go in changing not just the laws to protect all children but the many women and to some lesser degree men who courageously stand up for the wellbeing of their children,� Bilbrough says.

The approaches taken towards portraiture by Sullivan and Bilbrough come from the same source: studying in Italy and a love of the Great Masters. “Since my travels, which took me all over Europe studying the Great Masters with a focus on still life and formal portraits, I’ve finally decided

I actually do have a preferred topic and medium: oil painting and portraiture,� Bilbrough, of West Rosebud says. “Portraits are so not forgiving. It’s certainly not for the faint hearted.�

Sullivan, who credits Bilbrough as one of her teachers (along with Brian Armstrong in Australia and “maestro� Michael John Angel in Florence), describes herself and Bilbrough as “contemporary realist painters [who] have been practicing and learning the methods of the Old Masters and employing these age old methods while painting contemporary subjects, including commissioned portraits�. “I feel portraits are a wonderful intimate way to portray a subject,� Sullivan says. “Someone once said to me a camera captures, but an artist selects, and with a portrait painting it is more a personal insight into the person being painted. “I like my portraits to capture something deeper of the essence and character of the person while looking as if they could walk out of the painting and into the room. Portraits can be much more three dimensional than a photo.�

Sullivan’s seven portraits in the exhibition feature actors Kerry Armstrong, John Waters and Steve Bastoni, opera singers Deborah Cheetham and Liane Keegan and footballer Paul “fish�

Salmon.

Sullivan and Bilbrough were invited to exhibit at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery following their Woman Painting Woman exhibition at Burringa Art Gallery, Upwey, earlier this year.

Their exhibition Portraits: Sullivan & Bilbrough opens at the gallery in Civic Reserve, Mornington, at 4pm Saturday 24 September.

Also opening at the gallery on the same day and running until 20 November is Daryl Gordon: Peninsula people (photographs) and Salon des Refuses, the “official alternative� selection of entries in the 2016 Archibald and Wynne prizes.

Call for probe into ‘faulty boom gates’

26 King Street, Hastings PH 5979 1753 Fax: 5979 2836 Email: hastrsl@tpg.com.au HOURS: NOW OPEN EVERYDAY FROM 3PM

HASTINGS MP Neale Burgess wants an “urgent investigation� into the failure of level crossing boom gates at Somerville.

Mr Burgess says the boom gates at the Eramosa Rd crossing stayed down for hours, preventing traffic from crossing the line on Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 September. “Somerville motorists had reported their frustrations with the Eramosa Rd level crossing after it was closed due to malfunctioning boom gates,�

Mr Burgess said.

He said there had also been reports of other faulty boom gates at level crossings on the Stony Point line over the past 12 months. .

“The Minister for Public Transport [Jacinta Allan] needs to act immediately to get on top of this problem, investigate it and then fix it�, Mr Burgess said. “This community relies on these boom gates for safety and to allow access to the important roads that cross the Stony Point line. It's critical that these gates are maintained in proper working order." He said it was a waste of police time to be called in to direct traffic away from the crossing. “Our local police are already stretched past breaking point and they shouldn't have to prop up state infrastructure that should have been fixed the moment a fault appeared.�

Appliances stolen

Driveway theft

THIEVES stole a 2013 Toyota RAV 4 SUV, Uniden CB radio and a pair of Hugo Boss sunglasses valued at $400 from the driveway of a house in Roehampton Court, Mt Eliza, overnight Saturday 17 September.

TV goes missing A HITACHI TV set valued at $300 was stolen from a boarding house in Melaleuca Drive, Hastings, Sunday 18 September. Police said the set’s owner left his door unlocked during the day and returned to find it missing.

Motorbike, fuel lost A KAWASAKI 200 KDX motorcycle and 10 litres of fuel was stolen from a locked shed on a property in Barakee Drive, Somerville, early Sunday morning, 18 September.

Noise causes break down with RACV Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CAPE Schanck residents upset over what they say is unjustifiable construction noise at the new RACV resort believe their concerns are not being given â&#x20AC;&#x153;sufficient weightâ&#x20AC;? by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

They claim the council has failed to properly consider or interpret EPA Victoria guidelines in approving the builderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for extended working hours which allows works on any day except Sunday up until 9pm on 36 separate or consecutive occasions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is excessive, offensive and will be the cause of nuisance and loss of amenity to nearby residents,â&#x20AC;? objector Ian Renwick said.

The mayor Cr Graham Pittock said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;unawareâ&#x20AC;? of any resident concerns over construction noise.

The approvals by council allow Kane Constructions to make up for supposed lost time on the $50 million project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a seven storey, 30-metre high, 120 room complex on Trent Jones Drive.

RACV Cape Schanck Resort project manager Brad Van Cuylenberg said work was â&#x20AC;&#x153;proceeding in accordance with the development plan and is on schedule for completion in 2018â&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The project is progressing well with minimal disruption to resort operations, members or guests,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Mr Renwick criticised a shire officer statement supporting the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for extended working hours.

Principal planner Krystal Blizzard had stated in a report: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given the allowances provided by the EPA guidelines in terms of construction hours it was considered reasonable to allow the request to extend the hours to facilitate a quicker turn-around to finalise the development.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Renwick: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly this is the only possible explanation [as to] why council officers are failing to adequately take into account residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns about extended working hours, and failing to adopt EPA guidelines in relation to working hours and what constitutes noisy works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unlike Ms Blizzard, I do not consider

councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to be reasonable. Finalising a development quicker should not mean flouting EPA guidelines to the detriment or amenity of residents.â&#x20AC;?

The siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original construction environment management plan states: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The operation of all machinery, including transportation of materials to or from site, [is to be from] 7am-5.30pm Monday to Friday and 7am-1pm Saturday.

No noisy works are to occur before 7am Monday to Friday and 9am Saturday.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Renwick said these times aligned with EPA noise control guidelines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ms Blizzardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s email indicates councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval to extend working hours on Saturday to 2.30pm,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council also approved up to 30 concrete pours and six structural steel erection activities requiring finishing out of hours [up to] 9pm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This could mean that Kane could work on 36 days and finish at 9pm, meaning an extra 3.5 hours on weekdays and up to an extra 6.5 hours on Saturdays.â&#x20AC;?

The company requested the longer hours to cope with â&#x20AC;&#x153;intermittent or es-

sential safety works that may fall outside current permitted working hoursâ&#x20AC;?.

Mr Renwick said the extra hours contravene the EPA rules stating that construction noise with an adverse impact on amenity must not occur on a Sunday or other public holiday, or on any other day except 7am-7 pm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the basis of permitting Kane to work until 9pm it appears council has breached EPA guidelines.â&#x20AC;?

Friends of Cape Schanckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irene Wylde said members were concerned the council continued to override the views of ratepayers. She said they were considering approaching the Ombudsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office for assistance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to matter how many objections the [council] gets, they just ignore them,â&#x20AC;? she said.

It is rumoured that construction delays have been caused by concrete piling being sunk in the wrong place.

A concrete-breaking machine on site for several weeks last month could be heard and felt at neighbouring homes.

A pile of broken concrete at the southern end of the work site was

visible from Trent Jones Drive. The RACV did not offer comment on this.

Mr Renwick said Ms Blizzardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edict that â&#x20AC;&#x153;no pneumatic power tools, grinding or other impacting tools will be used between 7am-9am on Saturdayâ&#x20AC;? was â&#x20AC;&#x153;another change to the original CEMP which did not refer to the use of specific tools but rather noisy worksâ&#x20AC;?.

The shire last weekend issued residents with meters so they could monitor out-of-hours noise from the construction site. Breaches were to be reported to the compliance team.

Project manager Brad Van Cuylenberg said the RACV was continuing to provide residents with updates through a stakeholder committee, which â&#x20AC;&#x153;has been meeting regularly since December 2015â&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has approved the hours of work for the site. If the builder sees any benefit in altering those hours then they would raise this directly with the council.â&#x20AC;?

Kane Constructions has reportedly been fined more than $1500 for working hoursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; breaches so far.

Keep party politics out of local government As we move closer to the caretaker period in preparation for the forthcoming local government elections I appeal to eligible voters to think carefully how they cast their vote.

Thanks to our democratic system all eligible voters have a right to both nominate for a position on [Mornington Peninsula Shire] council and cast their vote.

Sadly, for the first time I can recall in the 30 years I have I have been actively involved in municipal affairs on the peninsula, a political party has openly stated it will field candidates (“Greens team seeks shire seats” The News 6/9/16).

Local government, in my view, should be free of political party influences which far too often only contribute to ineffective outcomes and not for the benefit of the community.

Equally, voters should be wary of the intentions of those who would wish to form “tickets”.

I recall all too well the outcome of such a move in [the former] Shire of Hastings days when, at declaration of the poll following one election, a member on a “ticket’ who was declared the elected councillor remarked “what am going to do now”, with the resultant lack of any positive contribution throughout the term.

With the distinct possibility that more than half the present number of 11 councillors will not seek re-election we all need to vote wisely.

My observation and personal experience over those past 30 years reinforce my view that the elected councillors who make the most genuine and telling contribution to council deliberations and eventual outcomes are persons who have been involved in, and have a passion for, their local community.

Brian Stahl, Hastings

Hope for Greens Mornington Peninsula residents have a great chance in October to vote in a number of new councillors for our shire. Councillors who will hopefully be able to communicate with and direct our shire officers to efficiently and effectively realise the wishes and aspirations of their constituents.

Hopefully, [this will achieve] some of the long-awaited for planning issues, like better coastal villages design overlays and a greater urgency to save and protect some of the peninsula’s best environmental assets from the threat of developers.

One of the most pressing issues in planning is the inability of planning permit decisions to be addressed in a timely manner, so planning decisions are not made by VCAT. My hope is that, with a whole bunch of Greens candidates standing, and hopefully some of them getting up, the environment and community on the peninsula will be better off.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Missing councillors Where are those elected and ratepayer-funded Briars ward councillors when you need one? We have three such people, none of who live in Mt Eliza and who have seem to have other priorities on their collective minds, such as how can they claim more expenses for their four-year appointments necessary for travel, clothing and entertainment needs (“Council backs costs increase” The News 13/9/16).

One of these councillors is even having financial difficulties running his car and wanted more mileage allowances.

Perhaps we shouldn’t be too miserly because with the increase to $30,000 a councillor over their four-year term, we might actually be lucky enough to see some familiar faces around our village and stop and chat with them to discuss our needs and worries are.

There are accounts of non-return of emails, phone messages and letters from legitimately concerned residents on issues such as traffic noise, neighbourhood fencing disputes, graffiti, destruction of flora and fauna, dumped mattresses, road repair, street light replacement, recreational park usage and community health issues, all rank up there with insufficient attention, lack of due diligence and minimal co-operative care responses from our councillors.

Irregular ward meetings are inadequate and often discriminate against free exchange when fixed agendas and limited public speaking opportunities are rigorously enforced by time poor councillors.

Some of these councillors have employment and business commitments as well as family illnesses and support mechanisms to be put in place like all of us in a rapidly ageing community, but we deserve local representation in the form of our elected councillors who listen, respond and follow up on issues important at this village level.

Would it be asking too much of some of them who live in other better resourced locations such as Mornington and Mt Martha, to take a more genuine and concerned interest in Mt Eliza?

Ian Morrison, secretary Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ & Residents’ Association

Hasty ‘disgrace’ The actions of six councillors to urgently approve Mornington Peninsula Shire management’s recommendation for an increase in their expense entitlements so late in the council term is an absolute disgrace (“Council backs costs increase” The News 13/9/16). Absurdly, three of these six councillors do not intend to seek re-election, so why the rush to amend an historic regime that, until recently, had appeared to work adequately?

Management’s recommendation smacks of covering up its failure to control spending.

Also, we can only wonder why management’s recommendation included a section to provide clarity around child minding expenses.

The candidate for Seawinds ward that supports revocation of expense “limits” in favour of specific council approval for each expense that is justified on demonstrated benefit(s) to ratepayers will receive my vote.

Hopefully, large numbers of other Seawinds Ward voters will also agree.

Stuart Allen, Dromana

Careful voting Voters in the October local government elections please use this opportunity to elect one of the community based candidates.

For too long we have had a council[on the Mornington Peninsula] that sees itself as a corporate structure with a board of directors that has lost interest in listening to your views.

I do not believe councillors Antonella Celi, Bev Colomb and David Garnock, who all voted to increase their own allowances out of ratepayers money and also voted for increased secrecy within the council’s code of conduct, have a place as our elected representatives?

Laurie Batiste, Somers

No expenses Why do Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors need such a large expense allowance (“Council backs costs increase” The News 13/9/16)?

Why can they claim expenses for personal study, overseas travel and pay relatives for child care?

I have always viewed being a local councillor as a community service and a great responsibility. Councillors should listen and represent majority views and raise issues on behalf of individuals and groups.

I am a candidate for Red Hill ward and if I am lucky enough to be elected I will not claim expenses. I will be happy with making a contribution like so many volunteers in our community.

David Gill, Balnarring

‘Courageous’ stand I applaud the Mornington Peninsula Residents and Ratepayers Association and Victorian ratepayers for their courage to stand up and endorse [council] candidates. It is long overdue that other community groups representing ratepayers do the same in order to ensure the best governance we can have.

The importance of a councillor is that they set the culture of the shire and we need councillors who are going to put integrity, collaboration, accountability and transparency above their personal and political goals in favour of the community. Only then can we have a shire that excels in supporting its community.

I fought hard to eliminate the how-to-vote preferences on the ballot papers and was very disappointed when the minister did not carry through on her proposal to do so.

I must also give credit where credit is due and give a standing ovation to the Greens, the Liberal Party and the legislative committee for addressing the dummy candidate issue by ending the publication of how-to-vote preferences on the ballot sheet.

We have already seen some positive results for democracy.

This does not, however, negate the fact that their “Inquiry (witch hunt) into rate capping policy” is little more than an attempt to discredit rate capping which, in its first year, is already benefitting to ratepayers.

Now to move on to eliminating the donkey vote. We are making progress and hopefully the new Local Government Act will be a win for councils and ratepayers.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Congratulations Blues Congratulations to the Hastings Football Club’s senior footballers for their amazing endurance and determination in relation to season 2016.

The magnificent and unforgettable efforts of Coach Brendon Dunne and his beloved “Blue boys” throughout the whole duration of this year’s final series concluding with victory on grand final day, will long be remembered as

one of the most satisfying and hardest earned premierships in the history of our very proud and most successful club.

The premiership (the 22nd) proved to be a fitting and well deserved honour and reward for our most popular and highly respected president Phil Stone who, at all times, has presented a wonderful display of loyalty, leadership and total commitment.

There are many other highly valued and trusted servants within the club who are worthy of praise, however a premiership cannot be won without the combined efforts and personal sacrifices of all personnel involved.

The 2016 Nepean League premiership very proudly and deservedly belongs to all the hard working and truly dedicated people who constitute the Hastings Football Club.

Congratulations to all – season 2017 eagerly awaits.

Victor Jeremiah, Hastings Football Club historian

Capel Sound As a group of 3940 residents, we are grateful we live in a society with systems in place that allow a community to play a role in shaping its own future.

The efficiency of both Mornington Peninsula Shire and the Victorian government in moving this to conclusion [changing Rosebud West to Capel Sound] has been impressive. We are also grateful to our fellow 3940 residents for having the foresight to be prepared to accept some short-term inconvenience in order to build a better future for the generations to come.

We have long considered whether a name change might bring a new energy and sense of identity to our community and, after surveying 250 residents and businesses, found there were many who shared our view. The idea gained support and the campaign for change began to gather some momentum.

This initiative has been driven by a desire from residents to strengthen our community and build our own identity - one that respects who we are and what makes postcode 3940 so special.

It has never been about property values or

“postcode snobbery”, as has been suggested.

We believe the change will assist in building on the exceptional practical work of Rosebud West renewal that has been taking place since 2008 and continues today at our vibrant Seawinds Community Hub. Perhaps the most inspiring thing to come out of this campaign both from those for and against the change has been a renewed passion for our area and sense of community spirit. Residents of 3940 care.

We hope this change of name will motivate those who appreciate our unique natural environment, who want to be involved in building and living in a strong community, and those with the energy and ideas to help shape the future of Capel Sound. Our own future, with our own identity.

Terry Wright, CapelSound3940 group

Desal disaster Victoria is having a terrible time with floods everywhere. The state is saturated, dams are full, creeks and rivers overflowing.

But wait, there is worse to come: our government has placed an order on the unused Wonthaggi desalination plant to pump 50 billion litres of water into our flooded water storages, commencing December. One litre would be too much. The cost is $27 million.

This plant, a complete “Furphy” to combat predicted drought from climate change, Is already costing us $1.8 million a day, for 28 years just to pay it off.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

End live exports The announcement by Elders of an immediate shut-down of their long-haul live export business is one more nail in the coffin of an industry that has always been rotten to the core. Other live export companies have watched their share prices plummeting, and an increasing number of politicians have defied the indifference of the major parties to speak out against the horrendous cruelty involved.

This year, millions of Australian sheep and

cattle will endure transport through scorching heat, crammed onto multi-deck ships, thanks to a live-export market which many Australians, including legislators and other government officials, oppose. After this excruciating journey, many of the animals will have their throats slit in filthy markets while they are still conscious.

These abuses would be illegal in Australia.

There is simply no humane way to transport tens of thousands of animals through the searing heat on cramped, filthy ships during journeys that last for days or even weeks.

A respected live export vet, who was kicked out of her government job at the instigation of the industry for reporting on the appalling conditions on the ships, has predicted that live export from countries like Australia will end in the near future.

The live export statistics support this conclusion: exports of live cattle were down 14 per cent, and sheep 15 per cent in the last 12 months.

This vile industry is dying, and we should insist the government does the kindest thing and put it out of its misery immediately.

Ashley Fruno, PETA Australia

Thanks to foster carers Foster carers are the unsung heroes of our communities.

They welcome children, who sometimes have nowhere else to go, into their houses. They provide them a bed, but more importantly they provide them a loving home. For some children, it might be the first safe home they’ve had.

Often children can arrive in the middle of the night, confused and afraid. Some stay for a short while, others for much longer.

Foster caring isn’t glamorous. It’s highly rewarding, but there’s no denying it’s hard work.

These carers provide a safe home for children when they really need it because they know that every child deserves a good childhood, growing up to feel safe, nurtured and with hope for the future.

This Foster Carers Week we say thank you on behalf of all the Victorian children who might not be able to.

WHAT’S NEW...

Splashy McSplash Town comes to PARC PENINSULA Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC) has the perfect solution for school holiday fun this September, announcing its brand new inflatable obstacle course – Splashy McSplash Town.

Splashy was lovingly-named by the Frankston community after a Facebook competition that saw more than 200 entries.

Measuring a whopping 22m x 22m, it is the first of its kind for aquatic centres across Victoria and will give children an exclusive water sport experience like never before.

The inflatable adventure course includes a slide, climbing walls and human hamster wheel among other balancing and climbing challenges, so the kids are sure to be kept entertained.

PARC Centre Manager Simon Beqir said the school holiday program was put together with both kids and parents in mind.

“Planning school holiday activities can be difficult for parents. It’s often hard to find something that not only eve-

ryone can enjoy, but won’t break the bank either, which is where we come in,” he said.

“We’re putting the fun back into school holidays by giving parents a simple, exciting, and affordable option.”

Families can also enjoy the range of entertainment facilities at PARC, including the award-winning AquaPlay™ Playground featuring exciting multi-level landings, toddler pool, and slides, and 114-metre long Constrictor™ raft water slide.

Splashy is available for children aged 6 and up and bookings are essential. There are eight available timeslots per day at 11am, 11.30am, 12pm, 12.30pm, 1pm, 1.30pm, 2pm and 2.30pm. Parents can head online to book a spot at parcfrankston.com.au/splashtown A PARC day pass for the whole family (up to 4 guests) starts at $24.50, individual passes for children start at $6.80 and for adults $8.50. Concession entry is also available for $6.80.

Lego fans in for a treat THESE school holidays (Thursday 22 - Sunday 25 September) Inside the Brick bring their fantastic travelling Interactive Play and Lego model exhibition back to the Frankston Arts Centre for a massive four-day event.

The exhibition is more interactive than ever before, with more play, regular build challenges and other fun activities for kids of all ages.

Not only will guests have the opportunity to see fantastic original Lego creations on display but they will have the chance to create some of their own in the massive hands-on Build Zone.

Children can build their favourite minion, create a Minecraft world, or join the white Lego architectural challenge.

Fans will also have the opportunity to build Lego creation vehicles and test them on a race ramp, and help build some cargo for trains to carry. Not forgetting the smaller builders, a Duplo construction zone will keep the toddlers captivated.

The Inside the Brick exhibition has staggered entry sessions to avoid over-crowding in the venue and to give everyone a chance to see the displays. Sessions start every hour and once inside you can stay and play as long as you wish.

Be quick as entry times often sell out.

Inside the Brick is proud to offer the option of

Do you have a friend who needs help with reading and writing?

SUCCESSFUL participants this week received their Certificate of Completion in the ‘Peninsula Literacy Initiative’ training at Hastings Hub. This activity involved one to one volunteer literacy tutor training. They are now eager to work with adults in the Hastings area who need help with reading and writing, spelling or numeracy, or learning English.

The aim is to help adult learners who have been educationally disadvantaged which prevented them from joining classes, or gaining employment in the past. Potential learners could be friends or family members, the neighbour next door or down the street, someone in your sports club, or hobby group; it could be young mothers, indigenous people, unemployed or underemployed, men who need re-training, people with learning difficulties, or with a range of medical or psychological disabilities, or from other countries where English is not the main spoken language.

Studies show that people with lower literacy skills experience greater financial hardship, more health problems, both physical and mental, and longer periods of un- or underemployment. By helping people on a one to one basis, our volunteer literacy tutors can address learners’ needs as they arise, in private, and build confidence and new learning

strategies to help plan for their future, hopefully enable them to continue in further studies for employment or receive career advice for retraining.

Advance Community College and

Peninsula Adult Education and Literacy have worked together to deliver training and backup resources for the “Peninsula Literacy Initiative’. Classroom teachers have been consulted

on language, literacy and numeracy needs of their enrolled learners and teaching resources have developed to assist new 1-1 learners develop their skills so that they will be able to join

the classes.

Premier joins mosque’s peace movement

THE Premier Daniel Andrews was among four politicians and more than 400 guests at the annual peace symposium at the Ahmadiyya Muslim community Australia’s Bait-ul-Salam mosque in Langwarrin on Friday.

The Ahmadiyya muslims, a movement which describes itself as a “fast-growing international revival movement within Islam”, has been hosting the peace symposium for the past 13 years, with the aim of promoting an understanding of Islam and other faiths.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Australia national president Imam Inam-ul-Haq Kauser said the symposium provides a “unique platform” for leaders of all faiths to sit under one roof and discuss ways to establish lasting peace in society.

He said the message of peace and harmony is more “crucial than it has ever been”.

“Our objective is to bring communities together and making (sic) an alliance with the help of religious, secular and political leadership to establish peace and harmony in our society.”

Mr Andrews arrived a little late after being driven from Moorabbin airport after inspecting flood damaged western Victoria.

His attendance at the symposium comes in the same week Pauline Hanson gave her controversial first speech in the Seante, where she said Australia risks being “swamped" by Muslims.

“We are in danger of being swamped by muslims who bear a culture and ideology incompatible with

our own,” she said.

Ms Hanson, known for her sensationalist views on immigration and multiculturalism, claims Islam represents a threat to Australia’s way of life, and has called for borders to be closed to immigrants.

Other guest speakers at the symposium included the MP for Holt Anthony Bryne, shadow minister for multicultural affairs Inga Peulich, consul general of India Manika Jain, and Frankston Uniting Church’s the Rev Jay Robinson.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Nightman not performing his duties Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE Inspector of Nuisances (Mr W. J. Stephen) reported as follows: Gentlemen - I have the honour for your information that several complaints were made by householders that the nightman had not been emptying their closet pans regularly and in one instance the pan had not been emptied for four weeks.

I interviewed the contractor (Mr Purdy) on the subject and he blamed his employee for the neglect, and dispensed with his services.

Since then he has put on a new man, who appears to give more satisfaction, which it is hoped will be continued, as no end of annoyance had been caused through the apparent neglect as above stated. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a furniture sale at their rooms, Bay Street, Frankston, on Wednesday afternoon, the property of Mr. Sampson, of Mornington.

The furniture consists of the contents of a large boarding house and is mostly new and well preserved, and will be sold without reserve. *** IN view of her early marriage, Miss Vita Gray has reluctently tendered her resignation as hon. secretary of the Frankston “Wattles Club”.

While accepting the resignation with regret, Miss Gray has the very best wishes of the committee and members of the club, for her future happiness and prosperity.

Miss Muriel Gray was appointed

secretary, and Mrs Moloney and Miss Young Vice-Presidents. *** THE Gibson Pantomime Co. gave entertainment in the Mechanics Hall, Frankston, on Wednesday evening, at which there was a moderate attendance.

The comedy, “Fun on a Battleship” was staged. The performers were mostly juveniles and their singing and dancing were above the ordinary for such young people.

“Little Trixie” was a marvel in the way in which she was able to contort her body into all sorts of imaginable shapes.

A good two hours’ entertainment was provided for those who attended. *** MR Cohen, P.M., gave a severe reprimand to a young man at the Frankston Court on Monday, for wearing military uniform without having enlisted, and stated that it was an offence that would meet with severe punishment if a civilian was brought up on a charge of wearing clothes similiar to that is by the Defence Department to the troops.

The magistrate counselled the young man, if he wished to wear the clothes of a soldier to go and enlist, and fined him 20s. for the offence. *** MESSRS T. R. B. Morton and Son will sell at their rooms, 72 Swanston street, Melbourne, on Tuesday next, under instructions from the Equity Trustee Co. Ltd., 80 acres of land, being crown allotment, 78A, parish of

Tyabb, being the property of the late Mr. Wm. Unthank.

The property is situated two and a quarter miles from the Hastings Railway Station and fronting Kippies and D’Esterres roads. From 10 to 20 acres have been cultivated and includes an orchard of some 3 acres and a fourroomed house.

The terms are easy and the property should recommend itself to anyone in search of a nice home.

The sale will commence at 3 o’clock. *** MAJOR Blezard, until recently Commandant at Langwarrin, is now in charge of Domain Camp. A tribute which we hope means promotion.

Genuine regret was expressed at his departure from Langwarrin. With over twenty years military experience he sailed from Australia as a Captain in the first contingent. He had the misfortune to be wounded at Gallipoli early in the landing. Invalided to Australia, he recovered sufficiently to assume command at Langwarrin.

During the few months he was in command, the whole camp was transformed. He proved himself an officer of undoubted character. Very just to men willing to do their duty, if they had a mishap and a strict disciplinarian to habitual offenders.

He was a man of few words which suggested much latent reserve power.

Above all he possessed the saving gift of sound common-sense, which commanded respect from all. Even the prisoners of war had a kindly

word for the wounded warrior.

The send off he received at the local railway station will long be remembered. A guard of honor was drawn up and while the band played farewell airs,the train carried the warrior off.

Among the officers present were Capt. Conder, Lieut. Brasch, and Capt.Perl, A.M.C. Mr Archibald, President of the Langwarran Progress Association, presented the Major with a letter of thanks, on behalf of the society, and prior to his departure, the Association was considering a motion to elect him an honorary member.

Although he ventured out but little, his influence was very evident.

It was hoped he would remain in the peninsula for many years. Men of his type are badly needed in the country districts. *** MR J. Nott Marsh has received a warm letter of thanks from Captain Conder, Military Camp, Langwarrin, in acknowledgment of the receipt of 235 packets of cigarettes which Mr Marsh had collected from residents and visitors to Frankston and forwarded to the camp. *** LETTERS of Thanks.

We are pleased to publish the following letters of appreciation which have been received by Dr Plowman, Hon. Sec. of the presentation to Frankston Soldiers funds. The writers were unable to be present to receive their medals in person.

Dr Plowman,—Dear Sir.— Just a

line to thank you and all Frankston friends for the lovely medal I have received from them. I can assure you if I have the good luck to return home again I will always keep it, and think of the happy couple of years I put in at Frankston. I will say good bye for the present, as we are leaving tomorrow morning for the front, but hope to soon be back and set the ball rolling again in our beautiful little town.— Yours faithfully E. C. HAMMOND. Dr Plowman,—Dear Sir,— By the recent mail from home I learn with pleasant surprise that you have sent, on my behalf, to my parents, a presentation for enlistment. I will ask you to convey my heartfelt gratitude to the donors of good old Frankston.

The only thing I regret, is that I was not amongst the boys to receive it personally.

Should I have the luck to return I will wear it proudly and maybe then I will have the chance to thank you.

I met a few of the Frankston boys in Egypt, and am not far from Gnr. Mat. Elliott, who is looking well.

Old Von Fritz gave us a hot reception when we first took over, but we have paid him back with interest.

Trusting you are all well as it leaves me at present, and again thanking you one and all.

I remain, yours faithfully, GNR. H. H. ALLEN, 8289.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

A Life Less Travelled: Byron Bay

By Stuart McCullough RELAXERCISE. Don’t bother looking for it in any dictionary. Despite my letters, emails, postcards and frequently turning up unannounced at the front door at three o’clock in the morning, the people at Macquarie Dictionary are unaccountably reluctant to bathe the term ‘relaxercise’ in the warm glow of recognition. Which, given their willingness to dip their hat in favour of ‘goon bag’ is something of an insult. If you’re not familiar with the term, ‘relaxercise’ refers to the amount of effort required to relax. It has particular meaning to people who are (for want of a more delicate way of putting it) uptight. People just like me.

It was an easy enough mistake to make. When a fellow guest informed me that there was a fire outside, I wasn’t to know that he meant a small campfire around which fellow travellers would congregate to engage in convivial chitchat while consuming beverages. Rather, upon hearing the news of a potential inferno, I immediately sprang into action, dropping to my knees and shouting ‘get down low and go, go, go!’ at the top of my voice.

Only after I had used a chair to break a window to ensure a means of escape was my misunderstanding explained to me. Clearly, I was going to have to take things down several notches to fit in.

Byron Bay is an easy-going kind of place. I, in stark contrast, am seldom accused of being moderately going much less easy. In almost every respect, Byron and I are total opposites.

We’d never be housemates much less

Facebook friends. I’d go so far as to say that we’d each give the other an inordinately wide berth on Linked-In. We’re just too different. Given the opposing nature of our personalities, it was inevitable that we’d feel a little uneasy about each other.

However, that didn’t stop me from forming an impression of the joint within the first five minutes. Best as I could tell, Byron Bay suffers from two things in plague proportions – bush turkeys and hippies. Granted, it’s difficult to tell them apart. One is a relentless scavenger that wanders around the streets not doing anything useful. The other is a bush turkey.

That said, backpackers are also in near plague proportions and spend much of their time trying to figure where to get free parking. There’s also a bunch of

middle-aged people who feel uneasy in the presence of so many New-Age crystal worshippers and, despite the odds, are deeply committed to wearing ill-fitting shorts. It’s this last category into which I squarely fall.

If you’ve never been to Byron Bay, I think I can sum it up for you as follows: Bali with superior plumbing.

There are streets full of department stores and cafes and all the things you’d expect to find in any suburb, the only difference being a far higher proportion of shops in Byron Bay accept cash only. It’s as though they’re allergic to plastic. Whether the aversion to electronic commerce is a deliberate ploy to stop the aliens on Planet Whacko from stealing their dreams or a blatant device by which to short change the taxman is anybody’s

guess. However, it poses the question as to whether this nation’s budgetary woes could be solved by taxing hippies. Forget the black economy – it’s the tie-die economy you’ve really got to keep an eye on.

There are two sure-fire ways to get a feel for a town – running and reading. Byron Bay is a great place to go for a jog not only because it’ll take you somewhere other than Byron Bay but because you end up in the National Park and, if you’re especially energetic, the Lighthouse. Early in the morning, I set off up the hill, evading errant bush turkeys and hippies as I went. The gradient meant gravity was particularly potent. But despite my limbs feeling as though they were in mortal danger of falling off, the effort was worth it.

When you get to the Lighthouse, you’re pretty much at the most easterly point of the continent; beyond that is the blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean. If that’s not awe-inspiring enough, there are whales to be seen, spouting off all over the place. People line up just to watch the Humpbacks do their thing. You can’t help but wonder whether these creatures have any idea how fascinated by them we are.

To see them launch themselves out of the water and crash down again almost makes the risk inherent in dodging bush turkeys and hippies worthwhile.

It has to be said that getting back down the hill is a whole lot easier.

Once in Byron, I do the second thing that allows you to get a sense of a town: I grab a copy of the local paper. Turning to the classifieds, it becomes clear that there are more types of yoga than there are varieties of cheese (and that’s coming from someone who greatly respects cheese). There’s ‘silent’ yoga, ‘chanting’ yoga, ‘upside down whilst surrounded by crystals that Richard Gere once glanced at sideways on his way to get an espresso with the Dali Lama’ yoga right through to yoga in a park at sunrise whilst wearing lose fitting attire (also known as ‘toga yoga’).

Granted, they all sound like great ways to relaxercise, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. Instead, I felt as if I was forever on the brink of being turned over to the hippie police and charged with being too uptight. And, quite frankly, they’d have a point. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW made it three premierships in a row and six in the past seven years after beating Mt Eliza by 22 points at Frankston Park on Sunday.

The Peninsula Division champs booted seven goals to one after half time, totally controlling the last hour to win the “three-peat”.

After conceding the first six goals of the game in the second semi-final against YCW, it was important that Mt Eliza got off to a good start in the big one – and they did.

Mt Eliza led by four points at quarter time and when Jordan Capkin snapped a left foot goal halfway through the second quarter, the margin had blown out to 21 points.

Matt Lillie was playing a pivitol role in the ruck, Rohan Heasley was winning ball in the middle, the Mt Eliza defence was standing up and the ball movement and forward structure

PAGE 42

looked dangerous.

The Redlegs needed to match YCW’s ability in contested footy and were doing the job there, as well as trying to exploit them on the outside.

At the 25-minute mark of the second quarter, Mt Eliza was in total command.

However, in time on, the Stonecats went coast-to-coast, Dave Bodley slipped out the back, took a mark and kicked a mark just before the half time siren.

The dangerous, all-conquering Stonecats had a sniff!

The message from YCW coach Scott Mathers was simply – “start taking risks and take the game on”.

The Redlegs were controlling the game and playing on their terms – YCW needed to respond.

As all great teams tend to do faced with adversity, Frankston YCW took a stand.

Ash Eames started to will himself higher in the ruck and started to get his hands on the footy first more regularly.

Western Port News 20 September 2016

Best man on the ground Scott McLeod, along with Tony Lester, Kyle Hutchison and Luke Collins, started to win that contested footy and the forwards started to work harder.

In the first half, YCW forwards were a little lazy, waiting for the easy ball to some to them.

They worked harder in the third and the result was four third quarter goals to Anthony Bruhn.

The Stonecats started to switch the play, cut the angles and move the ball through the corridor – they started to take risks.

Within a blink of an eye, the 16 point half time margin was back to four points and by three quarter time, YCW had hit the front.

When Zinzi Mosimaine grabbed hold of the footy from 50 metres at the Kars Street end in the opening minutes of the final quarter and converted, the game was over.

YCW was dominating in all areas of the ground and Mt Eliza just could

not penetrate beyond their half forward line.

Byron Barry and BJ Credlin were monumental – unstoppable! Credlin stopped Justin Van Unen completely, not just in the last half, but the entire game.

YCW youngster Jake Lovett was outstanding throughout, as were fellow youngsters Michael Debenham and Matt LaFontaine.

The Stonecats booted three goals to a single behind in the final quarter, the last one coming from a left footer from Bruhn on the run from 50 metres.

After the game, a retiring Mathers said “this is the most wonderful feeling I have ever had in football.

“We knew we needed to just stay with them and grind away, which we were able to do,” Mathers said straight after the final siren.

“Our intensity needed to lift and we needed to start taking risks, which we were able to do after half time,” Mathers said.

Ash Eames, who celebrated his sixth

flag, said “we just had to keep going. I thought we were able to absorb all of their pressure in the first half and then get the game on our terms in the second half. We wouldn’t get our game going or get clean footy in the first half but I’m glad we did in the second half,” Eames said.

Byron Barry, who also celebrated his sixth flag, said “we made too many mistakes early.

“We needed to take the game on and get some lateral movement – I thought we did that after half time,” Barry said.

There have been many great teams talked about throughout the footy journey over the past 30 years – YCW in the 90’s, Edithvale, Mornington and Seaford in different eras.

On Sunday, Craig Nankervis broke the MPNFL record of playing in seven premierships – a handful of others won their sixth flag.

Make no mistake, this YCW footy era is the best we will see. Ever.

Hastings embraced after huge win NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt What a week it has been for the Hastings Football Club.

After beating the Frankston Bombers in a memorable Nepean League Grand Final 11.15 (81) to 6.18 (54), as you would expect, the celebrations continued through the ensuring week and were felt by the whole community.

The Hastings community has always embraced the Hastings Football Club and the township celebrated as one

following their first flag since 1995.

Premiership coach Brendan Dunne said the “premiership feeling” started to sink in on Monday.

“It wasn’t until we got together on Monday and watched the replay of the match that it really sank in,” Dunne said.

“To be truthful, I don’t remember much of the game, so to see it again and then take a walk up High Street Hastings and see tears of joy in supporter’s eyes, it was such a humbling feeling.

Dunne said on reflection that he was always confident that his side would win the flag.

“The type of footy we were playing, we didn’t think any team could beat us,” he said.

“Red Hill has been our bogy side and when we beat them in the Elimination Final, we gained a lot of selfbelief from that.

“Leading into the finals, our form was great and the Frankston game in the final round was a dead rubber as far as we were concerned. We rested

Magnificent Mornington, final fling for Heart SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie A PATCHWORK Mornington put up a magnificent fight against Altona Magic only to go down 1-0 in Saturday’s State 1 final at Jack Edwards Reserve.

The game brought together the champions from both regionalised State 1 leagues but Mornington went into the clash without Simon and Scott Webster, Steve Elliott, Andrew Skledar and Chris Reid either through injury or unavailability.

One of the two players on the Mornington bench was teenager Charlie Parker and coach Adam Jamieson was forced to completely revamp his defence with Chris McKenna and Danny Black as central defenders and Paul McEvoy and Nathan Yole full-backs.

What proved to be the telling blow was struck in the 11th minute when Magic winger Adamson Ajayi cut in from the left and his deflected shot looped neatly over Mornington keeper Kris McEvoy and into the net.

Paul McEvoy got free on the right of the Magic area in the 25th minute and was played in by Shane Tagliaferro only to shoot into the side netting and Magic striker Jon McShane should have scored from point blank range in the 36th minute but Kris McEvoy somehow got a touch and deflected the ball for a corner.

Mornington striker Nick Waite was felled inside the area by the flailing elbow of Magic central defender Steven Thomson in the 39th minute but play was waved on as the Mornington bench erupted.

Just before the break Waite robbed a defender on the left of the area and decided to shoot from a tight angle but Magic keeper Sebastien Bechaud parried easily at the near post.

Mornington striker Brad Blumenthal was forced off at half-time with a shin injury and was replaced

by Michael Freeman and the mountain Mornington had to climb grew even larger in the 66th minute after Black clattered into the back of McShane and received a second yellow and was sent off.

A minute later Waite hobbled from the field and Parker was thrust into the action.

Kris McEvoy was forced to tip over a McShane header in the 77th minute and three minutes later Nathan Yule came to his keeper’s rescue by heading off the line.

A long throw by Paul McEvoy in the 81st minute was headed on by Chris McKenna but Magic was able to scramble the ball clear, McShane had a free header shortly after but headed over then Mornington’s Wayne Gordon hammered a firm strike from the edge of the area that forced Bechaud to punch clear.

A mix-up between Thomson and Bechaud in the 89th minute allowed Gordon to nip in before being brought down inside the area and the referee immediately pointed to the spot.

Paul McEvoy struck a low shot to Bechaud’s left but the keeper was able to get down and palm the ball wide and the 10 men had missed a glorious opportunity to take the contest into extra time.

Rosebud Heart strolled into next weekend’s State 5 Victorian final after semi-final opponent Healesville forfeited late last week.

Healesville held its annual presentation night on

the Friday before Saturday’s planned semi-final which was due for a noon kick-off.

Heart gaffer Scott Morrison was an interested onlooker at Saturday’s other State 5 semi that saw RMIT triumph 2-1 after extra time against North Melbourne Athletic.

Morrison is confident that Heart can maintain its perfect record and end a landmark season by winning next weekend’s final.

Skye United blew a two-goal cushion in Friday night’s State 4 semi-final against Brandon Park at Skye Recreational Reserve going down 3-2 after extra time.

Skye keeper Jonathan Crook was in the thick of the action early making some fine saves, two from long distance efforts by Brandon Park midfield dynamo Harrison Michaelis and Peter Smyth.

Skye clawed its way back into the contest in the last 15 minutes of the half and a minute from the interval Matthew Wilson struck a stunning longrange volley from 35 metres that left Brandon Park keeper Joshua Green clutching at air to give the home side a 1-0 lead.

Three minutes into the second half Brandon Park failed to deal with a long throw from the right and a close-range shot struck a defender and trickled over the line for an own goal and a 2-0 scoreline.

But Brandon Park supporters had their hopes raised two minutes later when a lay-off set up Smyth on his non-preferred right foot and his firm low shot from the edge of the area beat Crook who was at full stretch.

Fine close skills from James McNeill on the left in the 58th minute caught out the Skye defence but Crook parried McNeill’s 10-metre strike.

The equaliser came in the 82nd minute after a cross from livewire substitute Mourad Sarian on the right was headed back across goal into the far corner by Brandon Park striker Kegham Aminian.

The pivotal moment arrived 10 minutes into extra time when Aminian curled a superb strike past Crook to make it 3-2.

Two minutes later Skye substitute Luke Camerota cut the ball back from the right to Alex Roberts whose firm shot was parried by Green.

The Brandon Park keeper was again called into action shortly after when forced to tip over Marcus Collier’s header from a long throw-in.

For much of the second half of extra time Skye pumped long balls forward and the final moments were frantic as Crook charged into the opposition penalty area to contest a corner but to no avail.

Both coaches, Brandon Park’s Stan Webster and Skye’s Billy Armour, have enjoyed a lengthy friendship and embraced at the end of a gripping contest.

Just 12 months earlier they had guided their respective sides to safety in a bitter relegation battle so their championship successes in 2016 represent a remarkable turnaround in their club’s fortunes.

Peninsula Strikers ended the season by defeating visitor Noble Park United 2-1 on Saturday in a State 2 South-East catch-up game.

Dejan Blanusa had given the already relegated Noble Park United a 1-0 lead at the interval but second half goals from Jack Carter and Tom Hawkins settled the issue.

NEXT SATURDAY: State 5 final: RMIT v Rosebud Heart, 3pm, Murphy Reserve, Port Melbourne.

a few and tried a few things, which is what we achieved.

“That’s when we tried Luke Clark in the middle and sent Jay Austerberry back – both moves that had a significant impact in the finals.

“We also put it on a few blokes who had been out of form that needed to lift – they all did.

“Local youngsters like Jake Hewitt and Steven Robb really stood up and gained great self belief.

“Jamie Barnes, our fitness guy, had us going from November last year, all in

preparation for making the 2016 Grand Final – the timing was perfect.”

And how was the feeling of winning a premiership?

Dunne believes his side can improve again in 2017, which is a frightening proposition for other clubs.
