Daybreak THE early morning sky over Hastings often presents a picture of peace and tranquility, and Wednesday 17 July was no exception. The reflected colours of the sky were a reminder of nature’s beauty after a torrid weekend that had left the town in shock and mourning the loss of jeweller Dermot O’Toole. The search for the robber who allegedly stabbed Mr O’Toole and his wife Bridget began at about 5pm on Friday and ended the following day with the arrest and charging of a 26-year-old Crib Point man. Police last week offered counselling for shocked residents as family members prepared to farewell their much-loved father. Hastings author Fran Henke, a member of the Cloud Appreciation Society, took this shot of the sky over Hastings Inlet just after 7am.  A town farewells Dermot O’Toole on Page 5.

Cafe padlocked By Keith Platt THE Waterfront Cafe near Hastings pier closed for business last Tuesday. The doors were locked and the entrance sealed by a padlocked steel chain. The cafe is part of the financially stressed Pelican Park Recreation Centre and customers from the swimming pool and gymnasium were unable to buy after-workout coffees or breakfasts. Waterfront Cafe proprietor Scott Elks said he called in receivers and locked up the cafe after being unable to reach agreement with the building’s

owner, Mornington Peninsula Shire, to reassign his lease. The dispute has led to the loss of four full-time jobs and six to 10 casual positions. Mr Elks said health problems and flagging sales had left him no option but to leave the business, which he had been running since last July. His plan to hand control of the cafe to its chef Patrick Jacob had been rejected by the shire. Mr Elks believes he has the right to reassign the 20-year lease (five years with ongoing five-year options). He said his repeated pleas to coun-

cil officers for a reduction in the more than $8000 a month rent had fallen on deaf ears. He had “invested” $70,000 in the cafe, “which I don’t expect to get back”. The balance of a $30,000 bond and liquidated assets should cover rent owing as well as staff payouts, Mr Elks said. A series of meetings and exchange of emails with the shire’s recreation and leisure manager Peter Gore and property and valuations manager Yasmin Woods since January failed to find a way for Mr Elks to make a shire-sanctioned exit.

ness is now in liquidation.” Mr Elks said the cafe’s interior had been “left clean and tidy; we were preparing for a health inspection”. “I feel terrible and am disgusted with the council. “The council always said [by having a cafe at Pelican Park] it was acting in the best interests of the community. But is this in the community’s best interests? “The staff have lost their jobs and the cafe is closed when it could have gone to a local person.” The shire did not respond when asked for comment by The News.

“I often left messages and they didn’t get back to me,” he said. The final straw came last Monday when Mr Elks was expecting the matter to be decided by councillors. “But it was not listed on any agenda and that’s what tipped me over the edge,” he said. “I always try to work with people and find a solution, but it’s obvious the officers at council have a completely different agenda. “I called my lawyer and then called the liquidator to arrange removal of equipment owned by my business. “I’ve closed the doors and the busi-

MPs on tour for ideas on economy By Keith Platt HASTINGS Liberal MP Neale Burgess led a state parliamentary committee to Europe investigating “local economic development initiatives in Victoria”. When established in June last year, the stated aims of the Economic Development and Infrastructure Committee made no mention of an overseas fact-finding trip, Administrative officer Matt Newington said on Friday the three-country trip was covered by the paragraph for the committee to “investigate best practice local economic development initiatives relative to the terms of reference”. The committee was originally to hand in its report on 24 June, but the deadline date has been extended to 31 July. Committee members were due to return to Australia today (Tuesday). No official reason has been given for the extension, although the five-person all-party committee did not begin its eight-day European tour until 15 July. A Herald Sun photograph of one of the committee members, independent Frankston MP Geoff Shaw, wearing a T-shirt, shorts and thongs outside a Manchester hotel led to the Premier Denis Napthine storming away from an interview with ABC TV last week. Mr Napthine became agitated after being questioned over Mr Shaw’s involvement in the trip. Mr Shaw – under investigation by police and the parliament’s privileges committee over the alleged misuse of

his taxpayer-funded vehicle and fuel card – was also photographed sitting next to Mr Burgess at an Argentinian restaurant in Manchester. After resigning from the Parliamentary Liberal Party on Wednesday 6 March over dissatisfaction with the Premier Ted Baillieu’s leadership, Mr Shaw was whisked away from Parliament House by Mr Burgess. While the media was trying to find Mr Shaw, he was dining with two MPs, although he declined to provide their names. The committee’s visit to a Europe still reeling from the global ecocomic crisis is expected to cost $40,000 “give or take a few hundred”, Christine Fyffe (Liberal), MP for Evelyn, who is also on the trip, told radio station 3AW. Under parliamentary rules, MPs can use their electoral allowances to pay for airfares. Other costs are met by the committee. The other MPs on the trip to Manchester, London, Amsterdam and Berlin are South-Eastern Metropolitan MP Inga Peulich (Liberal), Albert Park MP Martin Foley (Labor) and Niddrie MP Ben Carroll (Labor). They were accompanied by the committee’s executive officer Sean Coley.

Close call A man is lucky to be alive after his car was destroyed by a city-bound train near the Overton Rd crossing in

Frankston on Friday night. Police said an elderly driver was trying to turn onto Dandenong Rd East about 7pm but drove onto the train line by mistake. Witnesses saw the man’s car get stuck and a young man jumped behind the wheel and tried to move the car without success. The elderly man was helped from the car and three minutes later the train slammed into the vehicle, cutting it in half. Picture: Gary Sissons

Counselling offered to a grieving community By Chris Brennan and Mike Hast A WAVE of emotion swept Hastings last week in the wake of the death of popular jewellery shop owner Dermot O’Toole. Police and town leaders offered support to anyone in the community struggling to deal with the tragedy. The awful events of Friday 12 July sparked a spontaneous public outpouring of grief, shock and anger, as evidenced by the hundreds of bouquets of flowers and messages of support adorning the front of the Jewel Shed, the High St shop owned by Mr O’Toole and his wife Bridget, who was injured during the armed robbery. But the most palpable emotion shared by members of the tight-knit community seemed to be one of deep sadness over the seemingly senseless death. Police have offered their sympathy and support to Mr O’Toole’s family, while also extending their offer of support to the broader community, particularly anyone who may have

been directly touched by the events or those struggling to come to terms with the tragedy. Acting Senior Sergeant Chris Stock said it was encouraging to see the way the community had come together to

support the O’Toole family as well as each other. He said the emotional fallout from the murder would leave deep scars and some members of the community may need somewhere to turn. “Following the tragic event in Hastings, it has been very reassuring to see the level of concern and support by the community for the O’Toole family,� he said. “Anyone who witnessed the event or feels they have suffered from it can contact Hastings police and we will be able to refer them to suitable organisations for assistance.� Western Port Chamber of Commerce representatives visited businesses and shops last week to offer support such as referrals to counselling services. Chamber of Commerce president Lisa Dixon said traders had been especially impacted by the deadly armed robbery and its traumatic aftermath. Not only did High St traders feel it could have easily been them to have suffered the fate of Mr and Mrs

O’Toole, but they were also now on the frontline of the public outpouring of grief and anger, as shoppers from within and outside the community took the opportunity to talk to them about the events. On Monday 15 July, Gavin Perry, 26, of Crib Point, appeared in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court after being charged with murdering Mr O’Toole. Mr Perry, who hung his head below the level of the dock during the entire hearing, is also accused of intentionally causing serious injury to Bridget O’Toole. Court documents revealed Mr O’Toole was allegedly murdered for $200 worth of jewellery. The hearing was told police had Jewel Shed CCTV footage of the fatal armed robbery as well as CCTV footage of the accused man at a nearby supermarket before the crime. The accused man was remanded in custody and will next appear in court for a committal mention on 11 November.

By Cameron McCullough THE funeral for Dermot O’Toole will be held in the Immaculate Conception Church at Hastings on the corner of Victoria St and Cool Store Rd, Hastings, on Tuesday. The service will begin at 11am. The O’Toole family says it is a public funeral to allow many of those touched by the tragic death of the Hastings jeweller to attend. A large number of mourners are expected and special parking arrangements have been made. The church car park will be closed to the public except vehicles displaying a disability parking permit. Parking will be controlled by volunteer marshalls. There will be two main parking areas. The first is on the foreshore of Marine Parade directly opposite the church (marked in red on the map at left). The second will be the vacant block next to St Mary’s Primary School (marked in blue on the map).

Look for marshalls and follow their direction. A marquee will cover the total paved area at the entrance to Immaculate Conception Church. There will be seats brought in and a public address system for people outside the church to hear the service. At the end of the funeral service, the procession of cars will leave the church precinct via Marine Pde and head up High St. This will occur between 12.30 and 1pm. The procession will travel along Frankston-Flinders Rd to the burial in Flinders. During this time there will be road closures to assist the movement of the funeral procession. The family has requested no flowers with donations in lieu to Parkinson’s Victoria and the National Stroke Foundation. Envelopes will be available at the church. The family has suggested people wear a splash of green in memory of Dermot O’Toole.

Coverage thanks CONGRATULATIONS on your touching and sensitive coverage of the beloved jeweller’s slaying in Hastings this week. Your whole team must have worked long and hard last weekend to produce the coverage in time for the latest edition of The News and to meet the print deadlines. Thank you to everyone for your dedication and commitment. Of course the story was on the lips of the whole community. May the outpouring of grief bring the community even more together. Our heart goes out to Mrs O’Toole and her fine sons and extended family. Thank you once again for getting this story out so quickly for the benefit of all of us. Di Inchley, Somerville

Thieves target cars A SPATE of thefts from cars has prompted police to issue a warning to residents to ensure their vehicles are properly locked and valuables not left on display. Detective Sergeant Rob Clark said people were not locking their cars and were leaving valuable items inside, such as GPSs, cash, phone and laptops. “We’d encourage anyone who has had something taken to contact police,� he said.

Ferry rough day: One of Inter Island Ferries’ Western Port vessels, James Grant. Picture: Andrew Mackinnon of aquamanships.com

Safety ‘fix it’ order for ferry service THE ferry from Stony Point to French and Phillip islands was last week told to stop operating by Transport Safety Victoria until safety equipment had been updated or fixed. It is understood an inspection of one of Inter Island Ferries’ vessels showed some safety equipment did not meet regulations. One of the skippers, although qualified to be master of a vessel the size of the ferry, did not hold a Certificate of Local Knowledge. “All masters of commercial vessels over 12 metres in length operating in the Stony Point to French Island area of Western Port are required to hold a Certificate of Competency and an additional Certificate of Local Knowledge,” TSV’s director of maritime safety Peter Corcoran said. “Local knowledge certificates are required where the safety director considers the risk due to local conditions are sufficient to justify additional certification. “The Stony Point to French Island ferry can resume service when the owner has attended to the repairs and engaged an appropriately qualified master.” Ferry owner Frank Denvir told The News “nothing happened, basically”.

Need a tradie?

The ferry had not operated on Thursday or Friday because of strong winds. He said boat owners had two or three days to fix safety problems found by inspectors but was “not prepared to say” what deficiencies had been found aboard the ferry. “They will find minor things in just about any vessel in Victoria,” Mr Denvir said. “If there’s a bandage missing from a first-aid kit it doesn’t mean the boat’s about to sink.” Mr Denvir denied the safety inspection had caused any disruption to the ferry service. They were “all minor matters resolved on the day”. “So what if a fire extinguisher is out of date a few months – is it a fault? It’s still capable of putting out fires.” Mr Denvir said the Privacy Act prevented him from discussing certification of a ferry boat skipper. “If a master has a problem. he should take it up with the marina safety organisation.” Mr Denvir said he was “disappointed” The News was “following [news] leads given by people I regard as halfwits” and would never again make comments to the newspaper.

Heavyweights wrangle over port By Mike Hast THE Port of Hastings could be ready to handle containers well ahead of its existing 10- to 15-year schedule, says port authority chief executive Mike Lean. Mr Lean was speaking at an International Cargo Handling Association Australia lunch at the Windsor Hotel in Melbourne last Wednesday. But his spruiking of the multi-billion dollar port has been countered by former Toll Holdings managing director Paul Little. Mr Little, who retired from Toll in late 2011 after 26 years at the wheel, told a Committee for Wyndham dinner last week that expanding Hastings would be a financial disaster for the transport and logistics industry. Now a property developer, Mr Little reportedly said the so-called “Bay West” option – a container terminal between Point Wilson and Little River on the western shore of Port Phillip – would be more affordable, effective and efficient than Hastings. Mr Little said a Hastings terminal would quickly create traffic congestion in the eastern suburbs and cause problems for logistics companies by forcing them to relocate from the western suburbs. “Whether you agree with that or not, they [the logistics companies] are here now, so what are they going to do?” he said. “Trying to relocate the port-based logistics services to Hastings would be a financial disaster for the transport and logistics industry.

“Would you go and tell Toll or some of these other groups that service the port ‘by the way, you’ve got to somehow relocate down to Hastings’ and your customers are still going to be in the western suburbs. “It just is not logical.” In the longer term, he said Hastings could be developed to handle very large container ships and the Port of Melbourne could be sold. Mike Lean told cargo handling association members the Port of Hastings would be “a world class competitive and sustainable port with a minimum capacity of 9 million TEUs by 2060”. (TEU is a measure used by the freight industry and stands for twentyfoot equivalent unit, the length of a standard container.) Victorian demand would exceed eight million TEUs by 2035, he said. “The Port of Hastings will be a major international container port operating as a port for Victorian and southeast Australian imports and exports general as well as transhipment cargoes,” Mr Lean said. “Strong growth in container trades is expected to continue with the Port of Melbourne reaching capacity of five million TEUs by the mid-2020s “Failure to have gateway container capacity by the mid-2020s means a negative $18 billion impact on the state’s economy by 2046.” He said the first stage at Hastings would have a capacity of 2.5 to 3 million containers. “The Port of Hastings will need to be integrated with road and rail systems

Plan A: Map showing key elements of the proposed Port of Hastings expansion including a potential road and rail corridor along Western Port Highway, which will be upgraded to a freeway. Picture: Port of Hastings Development Authority

“The authority will work closely with the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure; VicRoads; and local governments as well as the community and stakeholders. “Current emphasis is on evaluating options for transport corridors to the port with Western Port Highway the initial preferred road corridor. “[It] has the capacity to take dual train lines on the centre median strip. Utilising existing passenger rail lines is not seen as a viable freight option.” Mr Lean said Hastings had the largest amount of port-related zoned land, 3500 hectares, in Australia. This would enable the building of distribution centres and warehouses, “all serviced by multiple transport

modes including road, rail and sea seeking to maximise efficiencies and reduce cost in the supply chain”. He said the authority in January had embarked on 40-week “work packages” to assess port designs; examine the natural environment; examine hydrodynamic conditions in the port area and Western Port; prepare forecasts, economic and commercial modelling; and assess risk management. Next steps included the release of Victorian Freight and Logistics Plan, and the Metropolitan Planning Strategy, a business case, and “progression of feasibility works working towards environmental approval process”. Meanwhile, Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council has ramped up

its campaign to oppose port expansion. It held the first of several “Westernport protection meetings” on Sunday 14 July and launched its “Yes! I love Westernport” campaign. WPPC spokeswoman Karri Giles said the campaign aimed to educate the community about “what could happen to the Ramsar-listed Western Port if the Port of Hastings development proceeds”. The group had engaged experts to create modelling of what might happen to Western Port with its three-metre tide if there was an oil spill, she said.  Port of Hastings Development Authority: www.portofhastings.com  Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council: www.wppcinc.org

Steamy pics key to new line of inquiry MEMBERS of the public are being asked to turn over any old steamy pictures they may have hidden away as part of a new line of inquiry into the shire’s past. Mornington Peninsula Shire is looking to collect any photographs or memorabilia from the now-defunct Red Hill to Bittern railway to help reconstruct the historic line’s history. The Red Hill–Bittern line was opened in 1921 mainly to carry produce from the highly productive orchard areas of the peninsula to market in Melbourne but was closed

just over three decades later in 1953. The shire council has commissioned a heritage management plan to guide efforts to protect, preserve and interpret the line’s significant heritage features, which includes two station reserves and remnant sections of line in Balnarring and Bittern. Part of the old line is Peninsula Equestrian Trail from Merricks to Red Hill. Red Hill Ward councillor Frank Martin said very few photographs of trains on the line, station areas or bridges were in the public domain. “We’re hoping that residents may

have photographs in their personal collections of friends or family catching the train, of apples and other produce being loaded on trains, or that some may have detailed knowledge about particular aspects of operation of the line,” he said. “Copies of photographs, train tickets or any other relevant material would be most appreciated and would greatly assist the study.” For more information, contact the shire’s heritage planner Simon Lloyd via email –simon.lloyd@mornpen.vic. gov.au – or call 1300 850 600.

Liberal elder farewelled at age 86 By Mike Hast THE protection of Melbourne’s natural environment with Green Wedge Zones was a signature achievement of former Mornington Peninsula MP Alan Hunt, who died in the early hours of Friday morning at age 86. Mr Hunt, the father of five sons including Flinders MP Greg Hunt, his youngest, died at Peninsula Health’s palliative care unit in Frankston where he had been for two days after being transferred from Frankston Hospital. Mr Hunt’s eldest son Bob, 61, drove from southern NSW and arrived at the palliative care unit at about 3am and

was with his father at the end. Greg Hunt said his father lived in his Mornington house until December when he moved to an aged care centre in Somerville. “Dad retained his complete awareness of the world until his last days,” he said. “Over the past few weeks, he said goodbye to each of his sons. In doing so he took care of each of us. He explained that he was ready to die, that he had been blessed in his life and that he had no fears. “In the past few weeks, he had been given amazing care by the doctors and nurses of Frankston Hospital.”

Alan John Hunt was born on 9 October 1927 in Peterborough, South Australia. He was educated in SA and at Melbourne Grammar School before attending Melbourne University and gaining a law degree. He was president of Melbourne University Liberals from 1948-50, secretary of the National Union of Australian University Students and a delegate to the World University Service conference in Bombay in 1950. He began his career as a solicitor and by 1954 was a senior partner of Frost and Hunt in Mornington, later

Hunt, O’Sullivan and Daniels. He was elected to the Victorian Legislative Council (upper house) in 1961 to represent South Eastern Province, which stretched from central Victoria to eastern and southern suburbs as well as the peninsula and Phillip Island. It was abolished at the 2006 state election following the Labor government’s reform of the upper house. Mr Hunt was an MP for 31 years, retiring on 2 October 1992. The seat was won by Ron Bowden, husband of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s mayor Lynn Bowden.

The veteran MP served as a minister in the Bolte, Hamer and Thompson governments. Between 1971 and 1982, he held the portfolios of local government, planning, federal affairs and education, and was Attorney-General for a brief period in 1976. He was Leader of the Legislative Council in government between 1978 and 1982. Mr Hunt was made a Member of the Order of Australia in 1992. The funeral of Mr Hunt was on Monday at Peninsula Community Theatre in Mornington.

My Dad had a wonderful life, says MP THIS is the statement released by Flinders federal MP Greg Hunt on Friday morning: “Overnight my father Alan Hunt passed away. He was 85. In his words, he had had a wonderful life. He was the father of five sons, Bob, John, Peter, Steve and Greg. He was grandfather to 10 grandchildren, Josephine, Selwyn, Mia, Alan, Anne, Henry, Sam, Abby, Poppy and James. He was the brother of Colin and David. And, to his great delight, for the last decade and more of his life he was partner to Leila Haywood.

Not all endings are sad. Until December Dad lived at home, in Mornington, in the house which he had loved and lived in for almost 50 years. In the past few months he and Leila have been cared for by the wonderful staff at Somercare in Somerville. In the last few weeks he had been given amazing care by the doctors and nurses of Ward 4GS at Frankston Hospital. And in the last two days he was embraced by the most caring staff of the Palliative Care Unit at the Golf Links Rd Rehabilitation Centre in Frankston.

Dad retained his complete awareness of the world until his last days. Until the very end he was actually caring for others. Over the last few weeks he said goodbye to each of his sons. In doing so he took care of each of us. He explained that he was ready to die, that he had been blessed in his life and that he had no fears. He said farewell and took care of each of Steve and Peter. Both spent much time with him in his last few weeks. On Monday he held me and took

Community leaders’ praise COMMUNITY leaders praised Alan Hunt when they spoke to The News on Friday. Mornington MP David Morris said Mr Hunt was not only a great parliamentarian but also a great representative of South Eastern Province and in particular the peninsula. Mr Morris, chairman of the Parliament’s powerful Public Accounts and Estimates Committee and Parliamentary Secretary for Local Government, said he met Mr Hunt in the early 1980s at a Mornington chamber of commerce meeting. “Alan said there had never been a public policy question where the outcome had not been improved by public input. “It is advice that has stayed with me for 30 years,” Mr Morris said. The MP said Mr Hunt “can take a great deal of credit for the distinctive [green] break between the Mornington Peninsula and metropolitan Melbourne”. Former Mornington MP Robin Cooper said he was sad to hear about the death of Mr Hunt. “I visited him in Somerville about three weeks ago and we chatted for 25 minutes,” he said.

Western Port News 23 July 2013

Mr Cooper said Mr Hunt was “a great supporter of mine” and was always available to provide advice. “He had a great brain; he was a top bloke and a brilliant parliamentarian.” Mr Cooper said the Moorooduc Plain had been saved from development by Dick Hamer and Alan Hunt. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden said Mr Hunt was very dedicated to the Mornington Peninsula and the community. He had a lot to do with planning on the peninsula and had helped preserve its uniqueness, she said. “We have a lot to thank Alan for regarding balanced planning,” she said. “He was greatly respected and has left us a strong legacy.” Ron Bowden, who replaced Mr Hunt in the upper house, said it was his privilege to succeed Alan Hunt. “Alan served the Parliament for many years with high distinction,” he said. “His successes will continue to bring benefits to the peninsula and Victoria.” Mike Hast

care of me. On Wednesday he held my brother John and took care of John. Yesterday, as he became increasingly frail, his brother David and partner Leila visited to say goodbye. On his last day he was surrounded by sons who read to him his beloved poems from Yeats and Byron, Shelley and the Prophet. But his favourites were Tennyson’s Ulysses and perhaps most of all Coleridge’s Kubla Khan. As my brother John read the words “In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree”, Dad cupped his ears to tell us

he was listening, and to ask for more. But there was one more thing. He had yet to say goodbye to his eldest son Bob. Bob drove overnight from Wyndham in NSW and arrived just after 3am. There, in the middle of the night, accompanied and cared for by his eldest son, he passed away. It was a grand life and we will celebrate it on the Mornington Peninsula, which he so loved, at the Peninsula Community Theatre in Wilsons Road, Mornington, at 3pm on Monday 22 July. With all our love Dad, the boys.”

‘Fathers’ of green wedges ONE of Alan Hunt’s last media interviews was with The News last October, two days before his 85th birthday. He was asked his view of state Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s proposal to allow more development and previously banned uses in Melbourne’s 12 green wedges including the Mornington Peninsula. He declined to criticise Mr Guy’s proposals, staying loyal to the political party of his long life, but praised Premier Dick Hamer, saying the architect of green wedges was a man of vision and incisive foresight. His message was clear – the green breaks that have stopped Melbourne becoming like a Los Angeles or a Sydney (which once had substantial green wedges; all now suburbs) were created by a man with vision and it took vision to retain them. Mr Hunt and Mr Hamer, later Sir Rupert, formalised the green wedges in the 1970s. “Dick Hamer was a man of great abilities and great vision, and we owe a lot to him. His vision [for the green wedges] still guides planning,” Mr Hunt said. Mr Hamer was Minister for Planning when in May 1966 he brought the proposal for green wedges to his colleagues in the Liberal state government led by longtime Premier Henry Bolte, later Sir Henry. The modern concept of green wedges had been formulated in the United Kingdom with a 1944 proposal to set aside green belts around urban areas of Greater

London. It greatly influenced government policymakers and urban planners in Australia. In 1967 the government produced a report, The Future Growth of Melbourne, which encapsulated the Hamer vision. It was the blueprint for the green wedge zones. “Fingers of growth” had developed along rail lines and major roads, and in between was farmland, parks and forests. In 1968, the government adopted green wedges as policy and by 1971 they were protected by planning laws. Three of the five green wedge planning policies were introduced when Mr Hunt was Planning Minister. In 1989, Mr Hunt led a group of MPs who toppled Jeff Kennett as Opposition leader, replacing him with Alan Brown. Kennett made a comeback and led the Liberals to victory at the 1992 state election. Mr Hunt’s position became untenable and he retired, but continued to serve in various public roles. He maintained his interest in green wedges and in 2003 wrote an article in The Age that broadly supported the Melbourne 2030 planning strategy that fixed green wedge boundaries. In an article headed “World’s most liveable city no accident”, he wrote about how the Cain Labor government, the Kennett Liberal government and the Bracks Labor government all had allowed major housing developments in green wedges.

Climate battle heats up as tax times end By Chris Brennan LABOR’S candidate for the seat of Flinders, Joshua Sinclair, has hit out at the Coalition’s Green Army policy and accused opposition environment spokesman Greg Hunt of intellectual dishonesty for failing to support a carbon trading system. Mr Sinclair said Mr Hunt, the sitting member for Flinders, was known to have been a long-time supporter of an emissions trading scheme and that he must know the proposed policy he was taking to the electorate would do nothing to reduce carbon emissions. “Mr Hunt has long been a supporter of an ETS, and in his early days stated that it was by harnessing the natural economic forces which drive society that a pollution tax offers us an opportunity to exert greater control over our environment,� Mr Sinclair told The News. The federal Coalition has vowed to do away with the carbon tax and has instead proposed a policy of Direct Action to tackle climate change, with a focus on local efforts to provide “real and practical solutions� to global environmental challenges rather than a carbon price mechanisation, as implemented by the Labor government. Mr Hunt and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott recently unveiled the $300 million Green Army scheme as a “signature� environment program for the Coalition. Under the proposed scheme, the Coalition would build a national environmental conservation workforce of about 15,000 people to work with

Joshua Sinclair

councils, bush care groups and local catchment authorities to clean up the environment. However, Mr Sinclair said Mr Hunt must know the only effective way to combat climate change was through a market mechanism. “A team of volunteers planting trees sure sounds wonderful, but it will not reduce emissions and it will not yield long-term results,� he said. “The only effective way to combat the adverse effects of human-made climate change is to implement a market mechanism, something Mr Hunt has long advocated. “The government has done this, initially through a carbon price and now an emissions trading scheme in line with world markets. “Linking to global carbon markets

means the Australian price will move in line with the international carbon price prevailing under the European Union ETS from 2014. This is currently expected to be about $6 a tonne of emissions in 2014-15.� But the Rudd government is also under fire over its revised climate change policy after the Prime Minister announced he would axe the carbon price implemented by Julia Gillard and move toward an emissions trading scheme. Mr Rudd last week vowed to “terminate� the carbon price from next July in an apparent bid to repair the damage inflicted on the Labor Party by Ms Gillard’s 2010 broken promise, while claiming to restore his 2007 plan to introduce an emissions trading scheme. But Mr Rudd is now facing a parliamentary veto from both the Coalition and the Greens over the plan, which would force the government to find $3.8 billion in budget cuts to cover revenue lost from scrapping the carbon price a year early. Mr Rudd said scrapping the carbon taxing would save families an average of $380 a year, in stark contrast to the Opposition’s climate scheme, which would add $1200 a year to family budgets. But the Coalition refuted the government’s costings, arguing electricity prices would continue to rise and that the true cost of “Kevin Rudd’s carbon tax� to the average household would be more than $3000 over the six years from mid-2014. The Opposition has long proposed

ning in the first year. This would bring much-needed jobs and training to the area and provide a “huge boost� to the local environment. Mr Hunt said several “high-quality applications from the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston regions for a variety of projects� had already been received and that each of them was currently going through the approvals process. “The starting date for the Green Army program is 1 July 2014 and I would expect to see projects operating in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula regions from that date,� Mr Hunt told The News. “The projects will provide local young people with crucial skills and on-the-job experience in conservation and land management, as well as improving the natural environment for all local residents.�

Time for breeding code comments SUBMISSIONS on a code of practice for cat and dog breeders close next month. The revised code for the operation of breeding and rearing businesses is being developed by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries. The review of the code followed a campaign by the RSPCA to close puppy factories. The campaign started in May 2010 and led to the state government increasing the powers of RSPCA inspectors to force breeders to follow

the code of practice, previously only enforceable by local government officials. To view the draft revised code, go to www.depi.vic.gov.au/breedingcode, call 136 186 or email animal. welfare@depi.vic.gov.au Comments on the code must be submitted by 10 August to animal. welfare@depi.vic.gov.au or by writing to the Breeding and Rearing Code Review, Bureau of Animal Welfare, 475 Mickleham Rd, Attwood, Victoria 3049.

City takes ‘peninsula’ for pool name FRANKSTON Council has named its $50 million pool complex Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre, PARC for short. Councillors on Monday agreed to start the formal process to register the name with the Office of Geographic Names, the state’s naming authority. The centre, due to open mid2014, has been informally known as Frankston Regional Aquatic Centre or Frankston Regional Aquatic Health and Wellbeing Centre since it was put back on the drawing board after the 2008 council election. PARC will have a 51.5-metre Olympic-sized swimming pool, a learn to swim and leisure pool with play area, cafe, gymnasium, water slides, splash

deck, warm water therapy pool, spa and sauna, creche, a health and wellness centre, and a car park for 230 vehicles. It is expected to attract 700,000 visitors each year from as far afield as the southern Mornington Peninsula. Frankston’s neighbour Mornington Peninsula Shire has just one modern aquatic centre – at Hastings, which includes a 25-metre pool, unsuitable for competitive swimming training. The shire has been trying to build a pool on the foreshore at Rosebud for more than seven years, blocked by the state government until last year and by disagreement among councillors. Choosing PARC avoids a rude acronym that would have been formed if “F” for Frankston was used in the name.

PARC was suggested by a Frankston resident during a public naming competition held in June with 564 names submitted by the community and 191 by students. The winner, who has not been named by the council, will receive a $500 gift voucher. This followed a failed attempt to find a name through a consultant, the Civic Group, which the council paid $10,000. Civic came up with 11 names. Four were presented to councillors in May and rejected. A shortlist of names from the public was sent to the Office of Geographic Names, which recommended three – Tides Leisure Centre, Peninsula Sports Aquatic Centre and Peninsula Aquatic and Recreation Centre.

A report to the council on Monday stated: “After consulting with councillors ... it was determined that Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre was ... the most appropriate name for the facility, as [it] allows opportunities for destination marketing and aligns with the state and regional destination marketing positioning of Frankston as the largest hub within the region. “The cost of signage has been accommodated within the existing budget. A name is required as soon as possible to enable the marketing program to be commenced without further delay to maximise patronage and resultant income. “The proposed name reflects the diversity of the services and facilities,

the community values and will be a name that will resonate and be remembered.” The Times asked several Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors what they thought of the name. Cr Tim Rodgers, an opponent of a foreshore pool, said it was “fantastic”. “That just saves us $40 million,” he said.  Last weekend, Frankston Council advertised for a chairperson and nonexecutive directors for a board to run the aquatic centre. Board members will have experience in finance, governance, marketing, recreation and business planning, and applications close on 26 July. Mike Hast

Hospice calls for volunteers PENINSULA Home Hospice has issued a call for volunteers join its team of client carers. The volunteers will be trained in September. PHH is a not-for-profit palliative care organisation that supports people living at home with a life threatening illness. The next intake of volunteers will be the second for the year as the organisation prepares for some of its existing volunteers to retire. In September 2011, volunteers were supporting 21 clients at home but the number doubled in the following 12 months. The organisation has 60 client care volunteers, including Don George, 70, (pictured) who started with PHH when he retired at 65. “A number of friends have said to me that they couldn’t do what I do, but my reply is always that they would be surprised at the difference they could make,� Mr George said. “But the motive has to be genuine, not just a feelgood throwaway line at a dinner party. From the many letters and cards I have received, I know I am making a difference.� Mr George said the role of volunteers could range from sitting with a client while their primary carer took care of things outside the home “to occasional transport to medical appointments or to group programs held by PHH�. The once-a-week, 10-week training course starting in September for the next intake of volunteers at PHH’s premises at Golf Links Rd, Frankston, is open to men and women of all ages. Anyone interested in becoming a client carer volunteer can call Marcella Ferrier on 9784 3302 or email Marcella@ peninsulahospice.com.au

Premier digs in for hospital expansion

WORK has started on the $81 million, third stage development of Frankston Hospital. The expansion will add 92 beds and a new emergency department. Premier Denis Napthine and Health Minister David Davis visited the hospital on Wednesday for a sod turning ceremony. The new wards and emergency department are being built next to the new surgical precinct. “The aim of the design of the building was to deliver contemporary and innovative working spaces for staff to deliver the highest standards of care in attractive and comfortable space for patients,� executive director of planning, infrastructure and information technology Simon Brewin said. The new emergency department will be underneath the new wards and include 49 general treatment cubicles, four treatment areas as well as an extra 28 specialised beds, treatment rooms and consultation areas. “Frankston Hospital already has one of the busiest emergency departments in the state. The new emergency department will be able to better handle the emergency needs of our growing population in the longer term,� Peninsula Health chief executive Dr Sherene Devanesen said.

Seventy up for firey footy legend Watto By Vic Jeremiah MORE than 80 family members and friends attended a surprise birthday party for John Watson on Saturday 13 July at the home of his eldest daughter Debbie (Strange) in Coolart Rd, Bittern. John Alexander Watson (“Watto”) was born in Hastings on 13 July 1943 to Victor and Edna Watson. His mother was a sister of the legendary twins from Bittern, Biddy and Blinker Jack. He had an older sister, Beverley, and a younger brother, Geoff. John married Margaret (Meg) Temby on 11 May 1963 and they had four daughters, Debbie, Karen, and twins Leah and Robyn (deceased). John and Meg have lived in Hastings all their married lives, with John working as a carpenter (and lately assisting Debbie in her business, Western Port Flooring Xtra), while Meg spent 22 years working at Somers camp. They have 11 grandchildren. John has held prominent positions in two community activities over the past 50 years: football and the CFA. He began his playing career with Hastings Blues as an under-18s player in 1955 and, over the following five seasons, played 100 games. In 1961 he was selected for his first senior game, and his progress was such that, prior to the 1967 season, he was invited to train with Collingwood. Writing in The Herald, Alf Brown described him as the best footballer to come out of the Mornington Peninsula since John Coleman. Fortunately for Hastings, John did not become a Magpie and went on to play 277 senior MPNFL games over 16 years. In the twilight of his football career, John played 30 games in the Hastings Reserves, which he coached to the grand final in seasons 1977-78. This brought his overall tally beyond 400 games. Over his long and distinguished career, John had the honour of playing in five grand finals, including the memorable 1972 and 1975-76 premierships. His efforts at fullback throughout the era will long be remembered by both Hastings and MPNFL followers. John won the Hastings Football Club seniors best and fairest award in 1967 and 1973 and was honoured with the captaincy of the MPFL All Stars side in 1973, which he also represented in 1971-72 and 1975. In seasons 1979 and 1980, John was coach of the club’s senior side, and from 1983-1985 was chairman of selectors. For 17 years (1989-2006) he was a director of the MPNFL, serving the last four as chairman. Earlier this year, John was named at full-back in Hastings’ Team of the Century, and in the same position for the 1960s Team of the Decade. In the 1970s Team of the Decade, he was named at full-forward. Today Watto is the senior coach’s statistician at Hastings. Paralleling John’s contribution to football on the peninsula has been his CFA involvement. He joined Crib Point Rural Fire Brigade in 1959, transferred to Bittern Rural Fire Brigade in 1966, and then to Hastings Urban Fire Brigade in 1968. John has served the Hastings Fire Brigade as apparatus officer (four years), secretary (four years), first lieutenant (eight years) and captain (four years). He was part of the over-the-border support force in 1975 and has been a

vital member of many support forces that have engaged in firefighting activities around the state. He has been a strike team leader, crew leader, planning officer and worked at many incident control centres over the years, his dedication requiring many hours of personal time, effort and sacrifice. John was awarded a life membership of the Hastings Fire Brigade in 1992, a National Medal and clasp for exemplary service to the CFA in 1995, and in 2003, he received the CFA Region 8 Bob Burgess memorial award for “the complete firefighter.” His contribution to the Fire

Brigades Association has also been extensive, having served as president of the District 8 council from 1998 to the present. In 2009 John received his 50-year service award and now has 54 years service to his credit. His brother Geoff has spent 47 years with the Crib Point Fire Brigade, including 17 as Captain. John’s contribution to the community over a long period has been invaluable and he has been fortunate that, at all times, he has received tremendous help, support, and encouragement from his wife, Meg, who also has been a tireless and devoted member of many local sporting bodies.

BALNARRING Preschool teacher Karen Anderson was recently named the country’s best childhood educator at the Australian Family Early Education and Care Awards. Ms Anderson was named Australian Early Childhood Educator of the Year for 2013 at the national awards in recognition of her lifetime dedication to helping young people learn. With 30 years’ service at Balnarring Preschool, Ms Anderson has been responsible for introducing the innovative bush kinder movement to the area. Balnarring & District Community Bank branch manager Jason Symonds recently visited the preschool to congratulate Ms Anderson on her prestigious award. Mr Symonds said Ms Anderson’s passion for helping young children learn about the world around them helped make the entire community a better place to live. “We believe people such as Karen help to form the heart and soul of our community and we are very proud of them,” he said. “Our Community Bank branch is committed to supporting groups like Balnarring Preschool as they aim to make the lives of people in our community better,” Mr Symonds said.

Community asset: Sunday, Oliver and Leif with Karen Anderson and Jason Symonds

Under the bush kinder program introduced by Ms Anderson, the preschool uses the local beach as an outdoor learning space once a week to allow children to explore and take managed risks. Mr Symonds said supporting local organisations such as Balnarring Preschool was just one of the important roles a community bank branch played in a town.

By banking with their local Community Bank branch, residents of our area are also helping to support their community, create employment opportunities and encourage business in the local district,” he said. “When they support the branch that’s supporting their community they are investing in the future of the area, from Somers to Flinders.”

Healthy Living

Expert help for foot and leg pain FOOT and leg pain is very common, but if you don’t get the right treatment and advice, pain and injuries nearly always re-occur or get progressively worse. The good news is that with the latest medical research and treatments as well as the right diagnosis and advice:  You can end most foot and leg pain naturally.  Most concerns can be addressed quite simply.  Much surgery can be avoided.  Soft tissue regeneration can be assisted. Most foot and leg pain is the result of faulty biomechanics. Bad foot posture can continually pull your body out of alignment, but there’s often a simple solution. However, assisting foot and leg pain is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Renowned sports podiatrist and founder of Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, Dr Paul Dowie says that “to achieve successful outcomes with pain, injury and degenerative issues, a practitioner needs to address each individual depending on their particular lifestyle and requirements. A holistic approach is required, as one thing can

set off a chain reaction in the body, ensuring that not just the symptoms are being treated but the cause of the issue is found and treated is extremely important, while assessing and addressing nutritional requirements and deficiencies can also assist optimal healing”. Tips regarding treatment:  Avoid medications – it’s now proven that cortisone and anti-inflammatories have many negative side-effects including tissue damage and healing delay.  Surgery should always be a last resort. Recent advances in medical research and treatments mean surgery can be avoided in many cases.  We’ve assisted many people who been told there is nothing that can be done.  Practitioners have expertise in different areas. An experienced sports podiatrist is the best person to assist musculoskeletal issues. You can see Dr Dowie at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza and Berwick.

What type of levelling equipment should I get?

Convenient, Affordable Caravan Hire and Storage NOW SUPPLYING

CAMEC PRODUCTS

By Ron Gunn of Utow Caravans WITH the exception of some campers and some small caravans, most will need to be fitted with some type of levelling equipment. It works the same as putting wheelbarrow handles on the back of your car and picking it up. The weight is transferred from the rear axle of the vehicle to the vehicle’s front axle and to the rear onto the caravan axle or axles. Vehicles with too much weight over the tow ball and no levelling equipment may suffer lightness of steering, poor directional control, lowered braking efficiency, poor handling and unaligned headlights. Front-wheel drive vehicles may suffer lack of traction. Spring bars – A strong casting is fitted to the tow hitch, round bars fit into this casting at one end and the other end onto the A-frame with either a bracket or chains. The recommended weight of the caravan is printed on the bars or the box they come in. Normally only suitable up to a towball weight of 130kg.

- can be ordered as required

WINTER SPECIALS MINIMUM 1 WEEKS HIRE FOR ONLY: Ŷ Dual axle Pop top for 2 or 5 people Now only $600 for 1 week Weight distribution hitch – These bars are normally available as 250kg, 350kg and 450kg. You must know the maximum carrying capacity of your vehicle before purchasing the larger type hitch or, for that matter, the caravan. They work the same way as the spring bars but are capable of transferring far more weight. A friction sway attachment may also be fitted to the weight distribution hitch. Remember: know your vehicle’s capacity, your caravan weight and towball weight and stay well within both because whatever you

put in to either will change the handling characteristics of your vehicle. For more information either speak to us at Utow Caravans or a qualified towbar fitter. U-Tow Caravans can service your caravan and we are now qualified to do test and tag on electrical appliances. We have a wide range of caravan accessories at our premises at 25 Simcock Street, Somerville.

Heritage gem ONE of the few remaining heritage homes in the area, with a title dating back to 1898, this Victorian era three-bedroom weatherboard house is set on a large block of over 1000 square metres. Retaining many of the charming period features associated with homes of this vintage, there are 3.35 metre (11 foot) ceilings throughout, and in the main bedroom and formal lounge are open fire places. Spotted gum floors are another nice touch. A second living area towards the back of the home has a set of French doors that open out to a rear verandah that overlooks the backyard. A galley-style kitchen has plenty of bench space, a stainless-steel oven and pressed metal splashbacks and, from the dining room, a second door opens out to the verandah. The home has been extended to include plenty of cupboard space and the large black and white bathroom with claw foot bath and double vanity is superb. Address: Price: Agency: Agent:

Somers Village Park Invest, Reside or Retire In Style Unquestionably one of the greatest places to live in Victoria, Somers has lived up to its reputation offering a quiet, safe and enviable lifestyle for the young at heart. With properties highly sought after in the area, Somers boasts one of the most protected, safest & quietest beaches in Victoria, ideal for beach walks, swimming, sifting through rock pools or sailing. Just some of the attractions of a Somers lifestyle are the dolphins often seen frolicking close by the waters edge, resident koalas, lovely locals and the inviting atmosphere of the social meeting places - Somers Post Office, yacht and tennis clubs, Coolart Homestead and the local Boulevard Cafe. Despite very few small land subdivisions for housing, Somers has not seen any major development since the 1920’s and has retained much of the beauty Somers residents continue to love and appreciate. With the added advantage of the green wedge we see very little chance of any further development for many years to come. For many who crave an unsurpassable lifestyle, Somers Holiday Village offers an affordable opportunity to own your own piece of paradise with the added advantage of being one of the very few Villages offering you the vendor an opportunity to earn an income from your investment.

Starting as low as $99,000 for a land lot up to mid $200,000’s for a 2 bedroom villa including land. Call today to arrange a park tour Andrea Hannah 0417 400 660

Weekly Tips from Andrea & Tim - The Golden Rules Of Real Estate We have all heard it before, “Don’t buy before you sell.” Unless you have the available funds ready to go, purchasing your next property before selling can be a risky decision. Lenders may be unable to help you if the equity in your current home is too low & bridging finance can be complex, often incurring hefty interest costs. Unless you are in a strong financial position or have the ability to buy with a longer settlement (giving you enough time to sell), you should avoid the buy before you sell pitfall. Exercising patience can save you a lot of unnecessary stress & thousands of dollars. Once you have entered into an unconditional contract with the sale of your own home, you will be in a much better position financially as a ‘cash buyer’ when negotiating the purchase of your next property. If you do decide to purchase prior to selling, we recommend discussing your options with a mortgage broker to ensure you make the right decisions for your individual circumstances and have covered all of your lending options.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Balnarring reaping record crops, Picture shows come to Mornington Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 26 July 1913. CR R. Stanley’s farm at Balnarring has grown a record crop of potatoes, yielding 12 tons to the acre. *** ARRANGEMENTS have been made with Mr Marchant, proprietor of the Royal Picture Shows, for an entertainment to be held in the Mechanics’ Institute, Mornington, on Wednesday, 6th August, in aid of the Catholic Church debt. The programme will consist of an unequalled production of star subjects. *** CR J. D. Hodgins, of Hastings, has been appointed a Justice of the Peace for the Central bailiwick. *** THERE is every probability of an orchestra being formed at Mornington in the near future. *** THE Mornington Minstrel Company will be giving an entertainment shortly in aid of the funds of the Mornington Mechanics’ Institute. *** AT the recent musical examinations held in Melbourne, Miss Oliver B. Sherlock was successful in obtaining her degree of D.M.S.V. *** THE inspector of factories, Mr Howard, has been visiting the various factories and business places throughout the Peninsula during the week. *** OUR correspondent has notified us that the branch formed at Mt. Eliza, as reported in our last issue, was not one of the People’s Party, as our report

stated, but a branch of the People’s Liberal Party. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason, of Frankston, held a successful sale of cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, etc., on Wednesday last at Somerville. There was a record yarding, and most of the stock was disposed of at satisfactory prices. *** LAMBING has now commenced on the Peninsula, and as grass is plentiful a good percentage is expected. Stock is in great demand. One land owner who recently got a record catch of rabbits by poisoning, also secured another record selling 500 ewes, in lamb, at £1 per head. *** MR G. Keast, of Somerville, in response to a numerously signed petition, has definitely decided to offer himself as a candidate for the seat in the Central Riding of the Frankston and Hastings Shire, caused by the retirement of Cr Cole, through the effluxion of time. A keen contest is expected. *** WE regret that Mr Charles Lobb, an employee at Messrs A. Nunn and Sons’ store, Mornington, met with a very painful accident on Tuesday afternoon last, through his motor bike skidding. The machine overturned, and falling on his foot, badly crushed it. His injury was attended to by Dr Somers, and we are pleased to state that he is doing well. *** MR Edward Turner, of Hastings, is a candidate for the vacancy caused by the retirement of Cr Perrott in the Frankston and Hastings Shire. Mr

Turner is well acquainted with council work, having been a municipal contractor for years. His father, the late Ex-Cr Turner, was also a counillor for many years in the old Mornington shire. At the present time besides Mr Turner, Mr Richard Davis is a candidate, and it is rumoured there will be others. *** IN connection with the proposal to ‘annex’ French Island, the councillors and officers of the shire of Frankston and Hastings visited the island on Friday. However, they were not at all impressed. With one or two exceptions, the land is of the poorest description and not fit for use. The inhabitants are scattered, and there are only about 30 owners who would be entitled to vote, who would be represented by three councillors. The making of roads would be costly, and the advantage to the council would not be great. *** THE small pox outbreak in Melbourne had the effect of a few locals getting vaccinated. The local medico did not have the rush of people that some of the city doctors had, and consequently he had no broken windows or torn curtains. *** MRS Grant, senr, is no better, and although not suffering much pain, she is a complete invalid. *** THE local Co-operative Packing Shed people held a meeting of members to receive the report and balance sheet of the past season’s trade. A most satisfactory state of affairs was reported, and increased support is promised for the coming season. ***

A LARGE bevy of railway men have settled down in this neighbourhood, some alterations in the permanent way having been undertaken. *** MR Horace Croft, our popular secretary to the cricket club, has left the district for Coiac, to enter into business with one of his brothers. We wish him prosperity. *** THE Flinders and district Progressive Association held a working bee on Saturday last, for the purpose of extending the plantations in the streets. Although the day was marked by severe hail storms, carried before a south westerly gale, a large number of voluntary workers stuck boldly to their posts between the showers, and as the result about five chains of plantations were fenced in. This adds further ornamentation to the streets and makes in all about 12 chains of shrubberies planted by the progress Association. They are securely fenced with a 5ft 7 inch wire fence. The trees and shrubs put in last year are looking- excellent. The success of last Saturday’s effort will probably lead to a further working bee to extend the plantations along Cook and King Streets. The efforts of all willing workers on Saturday last clearly showed the determination on the part of the citizens of our little town to keep it abreast of the times in making it attractive to the townspeople and visitors alike. Recently the committee directed the secretary, Mr T. Swift, to arrange. a working bee for the purpose of lighting the streets. This effort was very successful, and a number of self generating lamps of over 20O candle power each have been erected in the streets. They are raised or lowered on

pulleys after the style of the electric lights of Melbourne, and are proving a great success. The question of a railway construction to this district is much discussed at the present time; much credit is due to the committee of the Association for having pushed the matter forward to its present prominent stage. *** A SUCCESSFUL social in connection with St. Paul’s Church, Frankston, was held in the hall on Wednesday evening. There was a very good attendance, and a terrific programme was submitted. The supper, which was prepared and handed round by a committee headed by Mrs Deane, was all that could be desired, and was thoroughly enjoyed. After supper a short dance was held until about midnight. *** THE opening of the golf club was held on Thurslay, 17th inst., and a mixed foursome was played, 14 taking part. The best cards handed in were:- Miss Noble and Mr W. Clydesdale 33 handicap 5 (50) 1st; Miss Alecker and Mr Thomas (of Riversdale club) 55 ser. (55) 2nd; Miss McKewon and Mr Christie 74, handicap 16 (58) 3rd. Mrs Weld kindly provided afternoon tea at ‘Aringa.’ *** A EUCHRE party was held on Wednesday night in aid of the Dromana Hall, but owing to the rain which fell all the evening there was only a moderate attendance. The prizes were donated by Mr G. S. Edwards. Mrs Counsel won the lady’s after tieing with Mrs Russell and Mr J. Bong won the gent’s after tieing with Mr J. Griffith. Miss Edwards won the lady’s ‘booby,’ and Mr Dyson the gent’s.

HISTORY

The Bryants – A Hastings pioneering family By Peter McCullough Carl Bryant was born in Hastings on 22 September 1928. Although he had a varied working life, including time working as a stevedore and a number of years with the PMG as a linesman and cable jointer, for many years he was a shark fisherman in Bass Strait. As a Hastings fisherman, Carl followed in the footsteps of his father, Owen Ernest Bryant, grandfather, William Charles Bryant, and great grandfather, Edward Bryant. The Bryants of today are numerous and widely scattered, so this is not a definitive account of their family tree; rather it takes a look at one or two of the branches. Part One EDWARD Bryant was born in Woolwich, Kent in 1810 and worked for a boat builder in London before he came to Australia about 1854 with his wife, Eliza Ann, and young family, which included six-year-old William Charles. The Bryant family was among the first to settle in Old Tyabb, perhaps in 1859, on the foreshore on the south side of the creek, about where the rear of the Harbour View motel is now situated. Edward must have procured some land quite quickly because, as early as 1862, he was on-selling half an acre to James Hall. His “contract” suggests that conveyancing was much simpler in those days! Edward fished out of King’s Creek, which in those days was free of mangroves. One of the Bryants’ daughters, Eliza Jane, married Amice Renouf. Their daughter Lottie, who was born in 1863, was evidently the first white child born in the area. Edward died on 11 September 1884 at Bryant’s Ferry, Footscray. On the death certificate, his father’s occupation was listed as “waterman”. His wife, Eliza Ann, who was born in Rotherhithe, Kent in 1820, died at Sandridge (South Melbourne) on 1

January 1884. Her death certificate states her father was a boat builder. Accordingly, the Bryant family’s preoccupation with boats extends back over 200 years! In 1861, when only 13, Edward’s son William bought land in Tyabb

for 4 pounds but the Shire later sold it due to non-payment of rates. The family obviously had knowledge of this block because in 1971, one of William’s grandsons (Fred) made belated enquiries as to its status. In 1872, William married Mary

Ann Monaghan in Fitzroy. Around 1883, they moved to Coode Island to the disused quarantine station. They kept goats on the island and also ran Bryant’s Ferry Service across to Spotswood, approximately where the West Gate Bridge is now located.

William also did some boat building and acquired a lease on land at the junction of the Maribyrnong and Yarra Rivers. This was on the south bank of the Coode Canal, which had been cut to enable ships to get up to Little Dock, around where General Motors Holden was subsequently situated. About 1895, the family, which by this time included seven sons, went to Western Australia where they worked in the jarrah timber mills and smoked fish caught in Denmark Lake and at Albany. Some of the men also spent time cutting timber around Rotarua in New Zealand. When the family returned to Hastings, they lived in what had been the Incigneri home in Victoria Street. Mary Ann worked as a midwife in Hastings in the 1910s and 1920s, while William, in addition to boat building, spent his time mesh netting with four of his sons, including Charles Henry (known as Mac), Owen Ernest, Sydney Loraine, and Arthur Stanley (known as Titch). Sydney was gassed during World War I, contributing to his early death, whilst Titch also served overseas. William died on 4 April 1914 in the Receiving House, Royal Park, Melbourne. Mary Ann died at Hastings on 26 August 1932.

Western Port News 23 July 2013

Owen Bryant, who was born at Coode Island on 8 May 1886, bought an acre of land in Tyabb in 1912 for 12 pounds. That year, on 4 December, 26-year-old Owen married Coralina (Corrie) Barclay, 24, at the Holy Trinity Church in Hastings. Their marriage was No. 22 in the church register and the officiating minister was the Reverend Cyril Eva. The witnesses were the two attendants (Charles Bryant and Minnie Longmuir). The groom’s occupation was listed as ‘fisherman’ while the bride’s was ‘home duties’. Coralina was a daughter of John Barclay and a niece of the ill-fated Jim (whose story, headlined Who killed Jim Barclay, was recounted in this newspaper earlier this year).

Owen fished with his father for some years as he and Coralina set up home at the southern end of Victoria Street. The house was demolished only a few years ago to make way for the K-Mart complex. They had a family of ten including five boys, all of whom worked as fishermen and/or boat builders at some stage. Owen carted fish from the pier to the station for many years and in 1926, he was still fishing in his boat Stormy Petrel, a 21 feet 6 inch square-ender. In that year Mac and Owen teamed up for a garfish seining trip to San Remo, where they stayed for 12 months. They used Mac’s boat, Ivy, which was more robust than the Stormy Petrel and had a transom deck. Mac subsequently moved to

Queenscliff while Owen kept fishing locally until about 1949. From time to time, Owen took a break from fishing and, for some years in the early 1920’s, he was the master of a barge at Flinders Naval Depot (as it was then known). More used to the open waters of Bass Strait than the confines of Hann’s Inlet, Owen’s lack of attention to detail on occasion got him into trouble (see the letter from Clerk of Works dated 2 July 1923). Later, he worked for Mrs Gold on her orchard in Hastings. Part of the challenge of fishing in those times was keeping the fish fresh. Sometimes they were covered with seaweed in the boat on the return trip, while it was also a common practice to obtain a large block of ice

from the ice works, crush it up with a huge hammer, and to then throw shovelfuls of ice on the boxes of fish before conveying them to market. The Depression years were hard for such a large family. As a result, the two older boys (Fred and Dick) got on their pushbikes and headed north to look for work. For a time, they both worked around Bega in New South Wales, although Fred ventured as far north as Brisbane. They wrote home regularly, often in pencil on scraps of paper torn from a notebook. Their affection for their mother was always evident; how many 21 yearolds would start with: “My Darling Little Mother”? (letter from Fred dated 16 February, 1936). Parcels were sent for special occasions. One

letter from Dick, dated 23 December 1935, informed Coralina that he was getting the Christmas parcel together. (Being only 16 at the time, he could be forgiven for running a bit late!). His letter tells his mother “they are giving me fifteen shillings a week including my washing. We are milking eighty cows and start at four o’clock in the morning...”. The dictum ‘Life wasn’t meant to be easy’ would have resonated with young Dick Bryant. Owen, who was born on Coode Island on 8 May 1886 died at Hastings on 1 July 1964. Coralina, born on 26 March 1888 in Tyabb, died in Hastings on 15 March, 1977. To be continued...

City sounds for peninsula musos MORNINGTON Peninsula musos are on the march to the main stage of Melbourne to showcase the ecliptic best of the local music scene. One soundman and ten musicians from three alternate independent peninsula groups will head to the ‘big smoke’ on Sunday 28 July for an afternoon of original music. The Warrains (pictured), The Pimlotts with Mitch Dean and SugaTree will perform at the Bendigo Hotel in Collingwood, unleashing their 100 per cent original, but little-heard sounds on an inner city audience. The one-off gig will see the Warrains launch their 3rd album, The Art of Listening, Sugatree their self-titled debut ep, while twin sisters Naomi and Narelle Pimlott couple up with Mitch Dean to present a bracket of newly penned tunes.

Western Port News 23 July 2013

While Melbourne is regarded as having the most vibrant music scene in Australia, the Mornington Peninsula isn’t far behind, said promoter Barry Swayn. “It’s a Melbourne presentation of what’s happening (musically speaking) on the Mornington Peninsula,” he said. “Given that the venue has become an acclaimed Punk/Goth/Metal/Trash outlet, the subtleties of a group of southern peninsula musicians bringing their nonspecific genre tunes to the big smoke on a Sunday afternoon should be seen for what it is worth: an effort to create a different feel to a legendary room.” The gig is on at the Bendigo Hotel, Johnston Street, Collingwood on Sunday 28 July from 2pm.

To ‘fuel’ Sister Carmel’s dream Captain Dick Cox, Assistant Governor Rotary Peninsula Cluster, together with President Dr. Neil Stitt and President Elect Doug Helleren of the Rosebud Rye RC escorted her to the Rotary Centenary House at Traralgon to show her what Rotary , mobilising the community and others, can do. Sister Carmel was truly amazed, “My dream has expanded and I can now see it being realised”, she said “My dream had been for a couple of apartments but after seeing the 18 ensuite rooms, self serve kitchen and dining facilities, and the quiet lounge areas at Centenary House I realise for once I was aiming too low!” Past President Ken Peake of Hazelwood RC and Chair Committee of Management, Centenary House gave the group a tour of the amazing facilities being provided for patients at the adjoining Gippsland Hospital from the Gippsland Community DQG IXUWKHU D¿HOG

Understanding the Universe: Where Do Hipsters Come From? By Stuart McCullough IT’S obvious. For decades, I have been left to wonder what my life’s mission should be. Will I invent a lifesaving medicine? Develop a new, supremely aromatic soft cheese? Maybe unlock the mysteries of the human heart? It’s probably foolish to aim too high. There’s no need to try to explain the universe and the meaning of life when explaining the meaning Celebrity Splash would surely be achievement enough. For years, I have been waiting for the moment when all is revealed and I would finally know what it is I am meant to do. I need wonder no more. For, at last, I have a purpose. It’s not to invent a medicine, develop a cheese or explain a horribly misguided television program that sank deeper and faster than any of its contestants. No sir. Instead, my job is to prevent people using the term ‘amazeballs’. I was watching television when it happened. Two obnoxious looking twerps with novelty facial hair were plugging internet shopping when one of them used the word in question. I could barely believe what I was hearing. It was uttered by a creature who – although ostensibly an adult – was dressed like a twelve-yearold girl. Given the circumstances, I should have steadfastly ignored everything that escaped his mealy mouth, but for some reason it was like a slap to the face with red cabbage. The very sound of the term offended me so deeply that it almost made me want to rip off my ears. Suddenly, I felt as if I understood Vincent Van Gogh a whole lot better.

Until then, I’d assumed he’d gone to town on his own jugs of beer because he’d been giving the absinthe a bit of a nudge. Turns out, he’d only done what any reasonable person would do

stay, despite my best efforts? Most importantly, who is to blame for this linguistic abomination? In one sense, you could argue that no one is to blame. A case could also be made in favour of saying we are all to blame for this sad state of affairs. I, however, take a different view. I believe we should stop pretending that this wholesale perversion of language is something we have to live with and sheet the blame home to those who richly deserve it. Namely, hipsters. For those of you who have lived either in a state of blissful ignorance or outside the inner city, a ‘hipster’ is someone who has tragically mistaken irony for meaning. Everything they do, say and wear has been designed to draw attention and yet, in a cruel twist of fate, the hipster is condemned to acting as though their outlandish attire, try-hard turns of phrase and bleak outlook on life is entirely ordinary. Put another way, hipsters are what you get when you let everyone have access to the Internet. These poor, misguided souls believe ‘You Tube’ is important and that trending topics on Twitter should be given the same weight as the lesser of the Ten Commandments. Not only are they living in the inner city – they’re living in an absolute state of delusion. When I was at school, hipsters didn’t exist. It was before the Internet and back when Huey Lewis insisted it was hip to be square. But like hipsters of today, we too wore outlandish clothes and said stupid things, fully expecting that older people would find this charming and thank us for it. We reveled in the fact that those older than us struggled with the new technology

after hearing some doofus suffering acute arrested development syndrome violate the English language. But what if I’m too late? What if the term ‘amazeballs’ is here to

we took for granted. We loaded games onto the Commodore 64 and set the timer on the VCR as if second nature. During those halcyon years, I wore acid wash jeans and multi-coloured shirts, dazzling to the eye. My mullet was groomed into a glorious bouffant and it’s blonde tips sparkled in the sunlight. Even better, I wore a pair of ludicrous glasses that I had mistakenly thought would make me look a little like John Lennon on the front of the White Album but, instead, made me look like someone who’d come to check the accounts. That wasn’t the worst of it. For an entire year I wore a single glove in the mistaken belief that this was the epitome of being cool instead of a recipe for one-handed frostbite. I wasn’t the only one who looked like a complete dill back then. The truth is, we all looked ridiculous. In fact (dare I say it), we looked a lot like hipsters. The only difference between us then and hipsters now is that we meant it. There was no ironic detachment or knowing sense of mockery. We were, put simply, horrendously, irredeemably daggy in the most unsalvageable sense. But therein lies the beauty. You don’t have to make fun of something to enjoy it. Sometimes you’ve got to go with things as they are and embrace the horrible unfashionable nature of life. Detachment, after all, will only get you so far. For the longest time, when I looked back at photos of my teenage self I could only cringe. From now on I will go a little easier on myself. How amazeballs is that? stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance FESTIVAL Records and Warner Music Australia are excited to announce the release of Boogie! Presents Silver Roads: Australian Country-Rock & Singer Songwriters of the 70s, a follow up, or companion piece, to last Boogie! Australian Blues, R&B and Heavy Rock from the 70s. While Boogie! was decidedly blues focused, Silver Roads looks at the other side of return-to-roots coin – the incorporation of country and folk influences in the Australian rock scene of the late 60s and 70s. It looks at a local scene in which artists followed the lead of the likes of Bob Dylan, the Band, Gram Parsons and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and created some fantastic music. It includes some iconic Australian hit singles like long-lost classic Gypsy Queen by Country Radio, Arkansas Grass by Axiom, Boy on the Run by the Dingoes, Winter in America by Doug Ashdown, Slipping Away by Max Merritt & The Meteors, Khe Sanh by Cold Chisel, It’s a Long Way There by Little River Band and many more great songs from the likes of Chain, Johnny Chester, Stars, Russell Morris, Broderick Smith, Flying Circus, Daddy Cool, Richard Clapton. The double CD also features some fascinating obscurities, such as The Birth of the Ute by the Melbourne pub outfit the Autodrifters, featuring the late, great Peter Lillie, plus many more. The album was co-compiled by noted author Clinton Walker (‘Highway to Hell: the Life & Death of Bon Scott) and Boogie! compiler Dave Laing. Boogie! Presents Silver Roads is a comprehensive look at a part of Australian music history that had a huge impact at the time. With so many classic artists and tracks, and with the renewed interest in country & folk sounds in recent years, the album will be essential for Australian music fans young and old. Boogie! Presents Silver Roads is being released on 9 August alongside two compilations that look at the resurgence of roots-influenced

sounds in American rock of the same era – Cosmic Country and Heavy Soul. Visit www.warnermusic.com. au for details. *** INTERNATIONAL multi-platinum soft-rock icons Air Supply, return to Australia for a small tour in November/ December with special guest John Paul Young & the All-star Band. The prolific partnership of composer Graham Russell and vocalist Russell Hitchcock was conceived almost four decades ago when they met in Sydney on the first day of rehearsals for Jesus Christ Superstar. Instant friends through a shared love of The Beatles and music in general, they began performing original songs with one guitar and two voices in cafes and nightclubs after their evening theatre commitments. Air Supply have since produced eight global hits, seven of which equalled The Beatles run of consecutive top five singles, and amassed sales of over forty million albums while remaining a constant on radio programming. Graham is honoured with two BMA Million-Air Certificates which recognise over three million radio

plays for Lost in Love (1980’s Song of The Year and fastest selling single worldwide) and All Out of Love, while The One That You Love, Sweet Dreams and Making Love Out of Nothing At All, are well on the way to reaching that achievement. Other singles to dominate the charts are Every Woman In The World, Love and Other Bruises, All That You Want, Two Less Lonely People in The World, Even The Nights Are Better, Without You, The Power of Love (You Are My Lady) and Here I Am (Just When You Thought I Was Over You). Air Supply first found international audiences opening for Rod Stewart and now hold enthusiastic fans captive in huge venues on their own lavish tours, which have smashed attendance records. Career highlights include pioneering new markets as the first Western act to tour to China, Taiwan and other countries not previously open to our pop culture, performing in Havana to an audience of 175,000 the night before Hurricane Dennis lashed Cuba, participating in Australia’s bicentennial celebrations in the presence of Prince Charles and Princess Diana and an

induction into the New York Ride of Fame campaign. Air Supply is one of our most successful acts, performing 150 shows around the world annually and are delighted to be heading ‘home’ at the end of the year, after commitments in the Cayman Islands, Mexico, Hong Kong, USA, Puerto Rico, Philippines, Burma, Japan, Chile, Canada and more. Air Supply will appear at the Palais Theatre on Saturday 7 December. Tickets 136 100. Details: www. bluehawkpresents.com or www. airsupplymusic.com *** GREASE is still the word - due to an unprecedented demand for tickets, more performances are being released for sale this week in Melbourne. GREASE producer John Frost said: “We’re thrilled with the overwhelming demand for tickets - the rush to buy tickets shows that GREASE must be everyone’s favourite party musical. So we’ve added additional weeks and performances so everyone can get to see this fantastic cast perform in one of the most loved musicals of all time.” Cast members include Rob Mills as Danny and Gretel Scarlett as Sandy, Bert Newton (Vince Fontaine), Todd McKenney (Teen Angel), Anthony Callea (Johnny Casino), Val Lehman (Miss Lynch), Lucy Maunder (Rizzo), Stephen Mahy (Kenickie), Francine Cain (Frenchy), Chris Durling (Doody), Sam Ludeman (Sonny), Duane McGregor (Roger) and Laura Murphy (Jan). GREASE is the Number One Party musical, featuring all the unforgettable songs from the hit movie including You’re The One That I Want, Grease Is The Word, Summer Nights, Hopelessly Devoted To You, Sandy, Greased Lightnin’ and many more. GREASE will open at Her Majesty’s Theatre, Melbourne from 2 January 2014, with matinees on Wednesdays at 1pm, Saturday 2pm and Sunday 3pm. Tickets 1300 795 012. Details: www. greaseistheword.com.au ***

approvals? Brothels, 40-odd houses in the West Rosebud wetlands, the NSW ALP? The list goes on. I think of Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov and Aldo Ray in that delightful 1955 film We’re No Angels. *** WE look forward to Tony Abbott as prime minister and his little Joey (Hockey) with promises of more tax cuts, community controlled public schools and hospitals, more jobs, stopping the boats and indigenous problems solved. Said Eric Obetz: “I have a sense that the Australian people will feel some degree of relief the adults are back in charge.” Really Eric? The issues are surely: immigration, health, social services, education, defence/foreign policy, climate change, the arts, the economy and employment/workplace laws. Definitive answers from Tony and “cooking with gas” Kevvy is as certain as Collingwood winning the next four premierships. Hey, anything is possible? *** SOME things can never be said too often, in fact, not often enough: there are times when one does not want to kick the bucket no matter the pain, like the night before a grand final. On the other hand, you could be watching sipping ‘Heaven’s Gate’ champagne? In the light of a global conference on advance care planning for medical treatment, I again submit my opinion. I do

not support (nor blame) the medical default position to do whatever is possible to save a life whatever the burden of treatment and however poor the outcome may be. According to statistics, 61 per cent view quality of life as paramount and would rather die than accept limitations. We want to make our own wishes known and for these to be acted upon. The never-ending problem: politicians and religious leaders. *** AUSTRALIA’S most prestigious literary prize, the Miles Franklin Literary Award, was won by Michelle de Kretser from a shortlist of five females. That’s terrific. All females. May we now have a break from the squeals from our ladies and agree that there should be no distinction in the sex of the writer. The best book is surely the best book, or do we have a secret society of Amazons? *** WHY did some teachers frighten me? Mr Baker for arithmetic at Falconer Street Central School didn’t, yet he gave me eight cuts (leather strap, extra if I pulled my hand away) almost every week. Mr Legge-Wilkinson for Latin didn’t use the strap. He just stood there with a look of disgust as it came to my turn to translate; Ellen! I’m sure he kept a list of the number of times I got it wrong. He began on new stuff to those front desk crawl-

ers and went down the aisles. I would count the numbers up until my turn (back row) and triy to look up the answer, but did it help? No, just made me feel useless. Latin remained a mystery, sadly. Parva leves capiunt animas [Small things amuse small minds]. PS: I got 100 for arithmetic. Genetics? *** MARK Robinson (Herald-Sun, AFL360) is as subtle as a ton of bricks. The speed of his attack on Harry O’Brien was followed by his apology the next day with the aura of self justification accompanied by a hint of suspicion as to the veracity of Harry’s story. Perhaps he’s entitled to his opinion, until one realises that never in a month of Sundays would Robbo apply similar reasoning to an Essendon footballer. He dared to rubbish Harry for using “filthy” language, yet a week earlier praised Black Caviar trainer Peter Moody for “colourful” language. A master of hypocracy. We miss Mike Sheahan. *** THE Tax Office is cracking down on cash-in-hand payments, which should prove a comfort for those respectable investors buying up on $2-16 million high rise apartments in Melbourne’s CBD. Best everyone pays their fare share, right? Hopefully this crackdown will ignore the outer areas from Mordialloc to Rye. Fair’s fair. ***

By Gary Turner MOVIE studio Warner Bros will sign up the sequel to the new Superman movie, Man of Steel. It has already signed up the film’s director, Zack Snyder, while actor Henry Cavill is expected to return to the title role. The original TV show Superman starred George Reeves and ran from 19521956, with Reeves starring in 104 episodes as the all-powerful hero from the planet Krypton. Reeves died at the age of 45 in his Beverly Hills home in 1959. It was officially ruled a suicide. For nearly half a century, that explanation was accepted by the general public, but in recent years, it has been called into question. Meanwhile Universal Pictures has taken up the distribution rights of the sequel Dum and Dumber after Warner Bros dropped the project. Both Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels have signed to reprise their roles as Lloyd and Harry…… *** Top Ten Albums 1. Wrote a Song for Everyone – John Fogerty 2. Time – Rod Stewart (Capitol) 3. A – Agnetha Faltskog (Universal) 4. At the Mountain of Madness – Blackfeather (Aztec) 5. Great Country Song Book – Troy Cassar-Daley & Adam Harvey (Sony) 6. Swing – Renee Geyer (EMI) 7. Old Sock – Eric Clapton (Polydor) 8. Inspiration – George Benson Universal) 9. Country For Cruisin – Don Costa (DAB) 10. Faster – Liam Brew (WJO) Album of the Week 13 – Black Sabbath (Vertigo)

A Grain of Salt DIFFICULT to understand why those pollies walked out on Kevvy’s regeneration/retread. Would they have preferred an election blood bath? They cop a new boss and become sooks. I’m not pro or against Kevvy but I do remember I learnt of his many deficiencies after his removal. Politicians trade in social confusion, thus a return to the wowser, captain of his high school debating team Queenslander with slightly less than half a chance. Kevvy, like Swanny and Julia before, is not into my primary interest, the performing arts; adventurous, imaginative and courageous are likely to remain foreign words. Maybe more chance with arts funding from Coalition Shadow Arts Minister Brandis? Time will tell, but I won’t hold my breath. *** SO here was I discussing the unsolvable (the boats) over an ale at the RSL; turn them back as against the humanitarian approach? Better I talk to myself but manners called for a response. The transit points (Malaysia and Indonesia) were mentioned with his response of graft and corruption. The conversation thankfully lapsed but left me wondering why we assume graft and corruption elsewhere but not here? The NSW government and monopoly casino licences? The Melbourne City Council and developer donations from building companies? Victorian government and high-rise

The final five set in Nepean League NEPEAN LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly DESPITE three rounds still to be played before finals, Pearcedale locked away the only spot available on Saturday, easily accounting for Crib Point. The Magpies and Rye were the only challengers left in the fight for fifth spot, but successive losses to Devon Meadows and then Pearcedale on Saturday ended Crib Point’s chances. Rye went down to Frankston Bombers and was eliminated from the race for the five. Pearcedale is in fifth place and three games clear of the Pies and Demons, ensuring an elimination final against Rosebud in week one of finals. There was plenty on the line in the Pearcedale versus Crib Point match. Unfortunately for the Pies, they lost Sam Austin during the week to suspension. To make matters worse, they lost Waide Symes in the first quarter after he received a heavy knock in traffic. The Pies lost Symes the week before to concussion in the opening term and he played no further part in that game. This immediately put the home side on the back foot. The Magpies opted to put Dave Lawson and Jon Flack behind the footy in the opening half. They were in a defensive mode from the start and never looked like troubling the Panthers in attack. In heavy conditions, Pearcedale led by three points at the first change, extended it to 10 at half-time, pushed

it out to 21 at three-quarter time and ran out winners 7.16-58 to 4.10-34. Pearcedale’s Gavin Becker was the only multiple goalkicker on the ground with two, and Chris Fortnam collected 26 possessions in a best-onground performance. The ruck duel between James Cook and Ben Mitchell was enthralling with both having a significant influence for their team around the ground, despite breaking even at the centre bounces. Teenager Adam Avard played his best senior game on the wing for Pearcedale, going head to head with the Pies’ Brad Davidson. Chris Hensby was significant in setting up the win in the first half. Luke Herrington was clearly the best player for the Pies, and coach Dave Lawson had 12 possessions in the first quarter to finish the game with 25. After the match, Pearcedale coach Ben Cadd was surprised at the tactics of Crib Point early in the game. “I must admit, I was pretty surprised to see Lawson and Flack in the back line early in the match,” Cadd said. “We prepared for them to play through the middle and up forward, but it certainly suited us with them both in the back line. “I was quite happy with the fact that Lawson was picking up possessions in the last line of defence.” Cadd was also happy with the way his team worked in the tough conditions. “It was always going to be a tough game in important circumstances. Crib Point needed to win to stay alive and we obviously wanted to shore up

a spot in the five. “It was tough going out there but I thought we put our heads over the footy, got to it first on most occasions and adapted pretty well to the conditions.” Despite the shocking conditions for football on Saturday, Dromana managed 46 scoring shots against Red Hill, smacking the visitors by a whopping 159 points. The Hillmen were left goalless in the second half after booting two majors in the opening hour. They managed just four points in the second half while the Tigers booted 15.11. Terry Wheeler is in rare form at the moment and booted five goals for the winners, while Anthony Bruhn and Daniel Waddell also booted five. Daniel Lee got his chance in the ones at the expense of Toby Banks and took full advantage with three goals, including the first and third of the game. Stuart Cleeve played his best game for the Tigers since crossing from Noble Park and Braden Dennis loved the conditions. Fletcher Kearney was among the best for the Hillmen, while Ben Maguiness flew the flag for his team yet again with another three votes. Frankston Bombers ended Rye’s season on Saturday, kicking away in the second half to win by 14 points. Both sides could only manage one goal each in the first half, before the Bombers booted 3.9 to 2.2 in the second hour. Suffice to say, conditions at Greg Beck Oval were awful.

They were so bad that Bombers’ coach Duncan Proud tweeted after the match “Does someone know where the grass from Greg Beck oval has gone? If anyone sees it, can you please send it back?”. It was vintage wet weather footy at the home of the Bombers. Ryan Marks-Logan, back from Stingrays duties, put in another great performance, while the class of Ryan and Nathan Lonie shone. Haydn Moore was also back to his best after a couple of lean weeks shouldering all the ruck duties on his own. As expected, Adam Kirkwood flourished in the hideous conditions, while Matty James was at his best again, along with Jai Lloyd and Matt McIndoe. With a big preseason from its current crop and a couple of additions, the Demons will be right there again next year. Hastings jumped out of the blocks against Devon Meadows and hung on to record an impressive 23-point win. Yours truly believed the Blues would simply go through the motions for the remainder of the season, but there is a bit of pride among the team and they were far from easing through a game of footy on Saturday. The Blues opened up a matchwinning 22-point lead at quarter time and although Devon hit back to reduce the margin to eight points at the major interval, the Blues responded and won 9.12-66 to 6.7-43. Colin McVeigh was the major contributor on the ground in attack with three goals, Tony Mirabella

booted two and Mick Agnello and Michael Cave shone. Trent Cotton and Heath Black were the best of the home side, while teenager Jack Hazendonk played his best senior game for the season. Rosebud completed the expected and knocked over Somerville, but had to work mighty hard for the four points. Scores were locked at three-quarter time before the Buds booted 2.4 to six behinds to run out 9.9-63 to 7.11-53 winners. Matty Payne was again the best player on the ground with two goals, while brother Brenton wasn’t far behind. Ryan Spooner was also at his best with two majors. Josh Collie kicked three for the Eagles, and Jedd Sutton was outstanding with two goals. Leigh Stewart had a good game. In the final match of the round, Sorrento recorded a 96-point win over Tyabb, 21.18-144 to 7.6-48. Leigh Poholke booted five goals and midfielders Leigh Treeby and James Hallahan were best afield with three each. Dion Phillips was at his best and Benny McCormack was superb in defence. Ethan Rahilly led from the front for the Yabbies and Craig Conlan and John Alexander also worked hard. Next week: Tyabb v Dromana, Rosebud v Sorrento, Pearcedale v Devon Meadows, Rye v Somerville, Red Hill v Frankston Bombers, Hastings v Crib Point.

Dogs kick 16 on wet track and eye top five spot PENINSULA LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly MORNINGTON is just one game outside the top five after recording an impressive 58-point win over Seaford on Saturday in Peninsula League. In trying conditions, the Doggies were up and about from the first bounce and by half-time the game was all over, the home side leading 6.8 to 2.3. Rather than go into their shells and try and hang on to the lead in the third quarter, the Doggies entertained the brave crowd at the kennel by ramming home 5.4 to 2.2. James Cameron was at his sensational and elusive best once again, Daniel Moss was controlling the middle of the ground and less heralded players including Michael Altenkirch, Anthony Simpson and Jack Dickson, who are all more than capable, came to play. The Doggies ran out the game extremely well also, booting another five majors in the final quarter to record a commanding victory 16.13109 to 7.9-51.

Nick Boswell was once again Seaford’s best, a very handy inclusion in the team after crossing from Rosebud mid-season. Kieran Shaw and Joe Hallal were also more than serviceable for the Tigers. The big win has catapulted the Dogs to sixth place, four points and 17 per cent outside second place. The Dogs’ percentage of 112.75 is six per cent better than Mt Eliza’s and just three per cent behind EdithvaleAspendale in fourth place. Mornington faces a massive test this weekend against Bonbeach at the kennel. Edithvale-Aspendale plays Karingal and Mt Eliza tackles Pines. Doggies coach Stuart Seagar was extremely pleased with his team’s performance. In the upset of the round, Langwarrin edged in front of Mt Eliza early in the match at Lloyd Park and hung on to record its best win of the season, 8.10-58 to 6.7-43. In the corresponding game earlier in the year, the Kangas had the Redlegs on the ropes but couldn’t put them away. They squandered opportunities,

Mt Eliza capitalised and ran out twogoal winners. There wasn’t a repeat of this performance on Saturday. The Redlegs hit back hard in the second quarter after Langwarrin got away to a 10-point, quarter time lead, but the home side responded in the third and led by 15 points at the final break. In tough conditions, both teams kicked a single goal in the last. Aaron Shaw was sensational for the winners with four goals while Michael Parker, Shane Urbans and Jarryd Amalfi were at their best. Josh Norman was once again the Redlegs’ best, while Rohan Heasley and Sam Wettenhall never stopped trying. In the context of the season, it was a massive loss for the Redlegs. Bonbeach went to second place on the ladder after winning a hard-fought game against Edithvale-Aspendale. The game didn’t disappoint in the opening half. It was hard and tough, as you would expect from neighbouring sides fighting for a topthree spot.

At half-time, it looked like the Eagles had the upper hand, leading 22 to 14. But the Sharks played like a different team in the second half, booting 7.1 to 1.3 and winning 9.3-57 to 4.7-31. Shane McDonald was at his mercurial best with four goals, and Dylan Jones won the battle in the ruck against Markham Johnson. Jackson Casey and Mark Tyrell were also at their best against the Eagles. Timmy Mannix, Troy Ogier and Mark Mullins were the best of the Eagles, while Matt Kremmer, despite kicking just one goal, worked hard at half-forward. Frankston YCW got the four points against Pines in a real oldfashioned hard and tough game of footy. Just four goals were kicked in the first half and six for the match. Unfortunately for the Pythons, they booted just one of the majors. The final margin was just 16 points after the Pythons booted 1.14-20 to YCW’s 5.6-36. Craig Nankervis and Anthony Barry

were the best of the Stonecats, while Ash Eames successfully got through another game of footy and looked at his best at times. Aaron Ludgewig was the sole goalkicker for the Pythons and one of his team’s best while Jake Berry and Beau Hendry also worked tirelessly. Karingal completed the expected and smashed Chelsea, winning 19.10124 to 1.10-16. The big win provided a lift to Karingal’s percentage and booted the team into third place, just two per cent behind Bonbeach in second place. Justin Peckett and Chris Hay booted four goals each for the Bulls, and Michael Burke and Harley Ambrose finished with three each. The Bulls went into the game without Luke Van Raay and Stephen Charalambous, while on a brighter note, Dan Noble was back. Next week: Mornington v Bonbeach, Chelsea v Langwarrin, Mt Eliza v Pines, Seaford v Frankston YCW, Edi-Asp v Karingal.

Southeast footy commissioners named AFL Victoria has selected a sevenmember AFL South East Region Commission, which will oversee football in the Frankston, Mornington Peninsula and Casey-Cardinia regions. The commission was set-up following key recommendations from the 2011 AFL Review of Football in Country Victoria. It was decided to establish 13 regional commissions that would be responsible for the strategic direction and planning of football in regional and rural Victoria. The commission will not have

power over the day-to-day running of leagues. The AFL said South East Region Commission members were selected after an extensive process seeking out suitably qualified and experienced candidates from across the local region. Mornington businessman and former chairman of the Riverland Football League, Jeff Kimber, is the chairman of the commission. Kimber is also a former finance director of the Western Border League, inaugural president of Echuca United Football Netball

Club, and has held roles at Sale and Wonthaggi Rovers footy clubs. Kimber is joined by former state MP Tammy Lobato, corporate affairs executive Karen de Villiers, past vicepresident of the Victorian Country Football League Tony Mitchell, businessman Ken Jungwirth, MPNFL life member Russell Jacgung and former umpire Scott Grimster. Kimber said each member brought “some great community sport and professional experiences” as well as “the strategic ability to grow the game of Australian Football throughout the region”.

“This is the first step in putting in place a structure to ensure football in the region prospers, but in time also develop a football administration structure that can provide outstanding support to leagues, clubs and umpiring associations,” Kimber said. AFL Victoria general manager Grant Williams said the establishment of the south east commission was an exciting time for a new era of Australian Football in the region. “We see how strategic and professional all sports are becoming these days, and if we want local football

to grow and flourish throughout the southeast region, we need to ensure we have good levels of management and governance,” he said. “These commissioners will give the concept in the southeast region the very best start.” Prospective members of the new region include the PCN Alliance, Frankston and District Junior Football League, Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League (and all the clubs associated with the leagues) and Southern Umpires Association.

The cold might be biting, but so are the fish By Paul "Tracker" Pingiaro* FOR some bizarre reason, there are many people out there who believe the fish stop biting in winter. Nothing could be further from the truth. Winter offers excellent fishing and as a bonus, the crowds are virtually non-existent. Winter fishing action in Western Port this year has been absolutely nuts, with snapper, gummy sharks, squid and the elusive mulloway all about in good numbers. Evening has proven the best time to go after bigger critters, but smaller models of squid and the whiting have been showing solid form in the mornings, probably as they look to avoid becoming dinner to the big fish in the evenings! At this time of the year, it is critical to fish the channels while also knowing when to turn to the banks to go after squid, whiting and salmon. On the Port Phillip side of the Mornington Peninsula, squid numbers remain solid on the inshore reefs and, while pinkie snapper catches haven't been as good down south as in the northern sections, the flatties and salmon have been going nuts. In deeper waters, the occasional snapper and gummy are being caught. During this time of year, it is imperative that your bait is presented perfectly and, if it’s natural, that it is as fresh as possible. Off the surf beaches, Aussie

salmon have been solid, with anglers fishing the rising tide at Gunna', Portsea, Kilkunda and southern Port Phillip piers nailing them on everything from pillies to poppers. For those fishing the creeks, both the Paterson River and Balcombe Creek are holding bream and a few small salmon. Further afield, in Portland Matty Hunt has been getting into the Tassie trumpeter and other bottom ogglies. This is excellent news for those without the time or money to travel to Tasmania. Rated by some as the best eating fish in the sea and a true brute on the end of the line, they are a species truly worth the effort to pursue. If you have a photo or fishing report, feel free to submit it and who knows, you just might find yourself bagging bragging rights in the ‘local rag’! You can email me at spbh@bigpond.com. Next week we’ll be breaking down the humble squid, so until then, tight lines and calm seas. * Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point, Mornington and Yaringa Boat Harbour, Somerville Hire (www.morningtonboathire.com.au or phone 03 5975 5479).
