Pupils take history in their stride PUPILS and staff at Crib Point Primary School have designed and built a practical tribute to the six Word War I soldiers who attended their school.

The school’s path project was officially opened at a ceremony yesterday, April 26 with all 150 pupils and 50 members of the local community attending, including Captain Stephen Bowater, of HMAS Cerberus, Cr David Garnock and Toni Munday, historian at the Cerberus museum.

The path bears the names of each student and teacher who attended the school during the centenary period, and the names of past pupils who bought pavers as part of the project. “We’ve been working on it over the past two years and we’ve finally completed it,� parent Raelene McCracken said. “The idea came from staffer Anna Bianchin and was designed to complete the front of the school, joining

the Remembrance garden and the Gallipoli oak.

Money for the project came from the Anzac centenary grant program. “We hope that the school is something that our community can be proud of and that it becomes an important part of our school as well as the greater Crib Point community, commemorating a small part of our diverse history,� Ms McCracken said.

Shire first to sign for state’s road safety campaign MORNINGTON Peninsula shire is eyeing a share of $1 billion in state government funding to improve road safety.

It is aiming to become the first municipality in Australia to align itself with the TAC’s new Towards Zero campaign.

Six fatalities in the shire this year are among an average annual 120 serious injuries from crashes.

Four locations have been initially

Tools stolen POWER tools valued at $1100 were stolen from a utility parked in the driveway of a house in Somerville, 1am, Tuesday 26 April. Police said the drills, a Makita valued at $400, and Milwaukie valued at $700, were taken from a locked tool box in the Toyota parked in Eramosa Rd East.

The owners heard a noise and saw a man, described as Caucasian, early 20s, medium build, 183cm tall, drive off in a black Holden VT Commodore. He was wearing khaki tradie shorts, grey singlet and grey baseball cap with black peak.

identified to achieve Safe System principle measures or better: Point Nepean Rd, Rye: This commercial area has had four cyclist and five pedestrian casualties in the past five years; Balnarring township: Regular crashes here identify the area as “high risk” to vulnerable road users; Coolart Rd: This rural arterial corridor has had three fatalities and 39 casualties in the past five years, and Mornington Peninsula Freeway: A high incidence of run-off-road crashes in the section from Peninsula Link to Rosebud has resulted in many fatalities and serious injuries.

The mayor Cr Graham Pittock said that while the shire had made “substantial commitments” to road safety improvements over many years, road trauma remained at “unacceptable levels”.

“The shire will collaborate with the TAC, VicRoads and Victoria Police to demonstrate safe system principles and become the first Towards Zero municipality,” he said.

“Being a declared Towards Zero municipality best positions the shire to attract state government funding for improving our roads and reducing road trauma.”

Crash site: Police examine the circumstances surrounding the fatality in Hunts Rd, Tuerong, last week.

Fatality after night out A FRENCH vineyard worker died when the car he was driving hit a tree on a property in Tuerong, early morning Saturday 16 April.

He and an Italian man were reportedly coming home after a night out when the collision occurred beside the driveway of the Hunts Rd property, 5.30am.

The French man died at the scene, while his passenger was airlifted to The Alfred hospital with serious injuries. Both are said to be aged in their mid-20s with only one week left on their contracts.

The exact circumstances of the collision were being investigated last week, but Senior Sergeant Steve Burt,

of Hastings police, said speed and alcohol could be factors. There is a 30kph sign at the front gate.

Because the fatality occurred on private property, it will not be included in the road toll. Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report to crimestoppersvic.com.au

CFA on track for new base A BLOCK of land at the HMAS Cerberus naval base has been set aside for a new Crib Point CFA station.

Firefighters had approached the federal government two years ago for a new site, concerned about their own dilapidated fire station and the urgent need for upgraded facilities.

“We worked closely with the CFA and the Department of Defence to secure land at Cerberus on a peppercorn lease,” Flinders MP Greg Hunt said.

The new fire station may take several years “but this is a first step in securing funds to build it”, Mr Hunt

said.

“The recent fires highlighted the vital work of the Crib Point CFA and the protection they provide for the community.”

South East Region CFA operations officer Troy Thornton said he was “excited” about the partnership between HMAS Cerberus and the Crib Point CFA and the opportunities it would provide.

“Crib Point CFA is in desperate need of a new fire station and this is the first step towards making this happen,” he said.

Car taken, found A CAR was stolen from the driveway of a house in Eliza Pl, Somerville, when the owner went inside for a glass of water, 3.20pm, Monday. The 2004 Holden Commodore SS was later found in Carol St, Mornington with its number plates missing. Police are searching for a Caucasian man, late 20s, black hair, with tattoos on his right arm.

Units rifled THIEVES cut the padlocks to two self-storage units in Simcock St, Somerville, sometime between 20-25 April. Roller doors were opened but it is not certain what was taken. Police are examining CCTV footage. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Family affair: Amanda Garstin with pictures of her maternal grandfather, John Langman, and her sister is Michelle and brother Michael, and father Godfrey. Picture: Yanni

Family’s history of service A CERBERUS naval instructor can look back on an active family history spanning three generations of service.

Petty Officer Amanda Garstin, of Hastings, attended yesterday’s Anzac service in civilian attire as she is on leave. A keen photographer, she knew being out of uniform would allow her more freedom to take photos.

Since joining the navy as a communications information system sailor in 1999 Ms Garstin has received the Australian Defence Medal, Returned from Active Service Badge, Defence

Long Service Medal, Australia Day Medallion, Clasp S Pacific 2006 to the Australian Service Medal, Afghanistan Medal, Australian Active Service Medal with Clasp ICAT, and Australian Service Medal with Clasp Solomon Islands.

Her maternal grandfather, John Langman (1925-2003), was a leading aircraftman in the RAAF, 1943-1946, who served as an assistant navigator in World War II. He was a founding member of Crib Point RSL and also on the former Hastings Shire Council

until the mid-1970s, and as shire president 1967-68.

Her father, Godfrey Garstin, had an extensive naval career, 1968-2005, returning 2013-16 as a first lieutenant at HMAS Stirling. He was on the active reserve 2005-13.

Sister Michelle Oakden is a squadron leader in the RAAF, serving since 1996 at Laverton. Brother, Michael, currently living in Sydney, NSW, was also a member of the RAN in communications and information systems, serving 2005-12.

Special school left off funding list Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ESTABLISHED as a “temporary” school in 1987 and left to take care of itself over the following 30 years, it’s no wonder Mornington Special Development School is dilapidated and run down.

Claims of asbestos hidden inside the walls, leaky roofs, run-down portables and substandard facilities don’t paint a pretty picture of the school in what’s acknowledged as being a low socioeconomic part of town.

That’s not to say the care and welfare of its 33 students is neglected, it’s not, but the surroundings are less than desired by the seven staff and principal David Newport.

Despite last week’s trumpeting by the state government that it will earmark $156 million from the budget to educate students with disabilities, and spend $68.5 million on refurbishing 20 specialist schools, the Mornington school has again been left out in the cold.

“We are not on the list and no one has contacted me,” Mr Newport said.

“There is no process [for updating facilities] that I know of and it is very frustrating as we want to afford our students as much dignity as possible.

“We need fit-for-purpose facilities for our 33 students and nine kindergarten-age pupils.”

Mornington MP David Morris has called on the state government to fund the “much needed relocation” of Mornington Special Developmental School to Hastings.

“The school is in a poor state, and

needs to be relocated to the land set aside for it there,” he said.

“The government must have overlooked the Mornington special school.

With less than 50 students, it is too often overlooked.”

It was always expected that the school would receive new buildings, and ageing plans are awaiting approval at head office, but “we haven’t heard anything,” Mr Newport admitted. “I think it’s a case of being out of sight, out of mind.”

He said he would contact the Education Department and “explore alternative avenues for obtaining funds”.

Mr Newport – who joined the school in November after 13 years as principal of Springvale Park Special Development School – was unaware of any proposed move to Hastings.

He estimated the school needed $50,000-$100,000 to renovate its portables and update its playgrounds in Robertson Drive.

Despite the physical neglect, he praised the compassion and capabilities of his staff. “The school is what it is,” he said.

“Because we are small we all pull together and each teacher knows each student. We provide speech therapy and physiotherapy.

“The teachers go above and beyond to provide the best in care and attention for their students.”

Mr Morris said he called on the government to fund the proposed relocation in last year’s budget – but “no funds were forthcoming”.

“This will be the second budget where the government has refused to provide funding for students in our

community who are most in need.”

Mr Morris said that being listed in the Victorian Building Futures Program for rebuilding and relocation to Hastings meant the school was unable to receive Building the Education Revolution funding.

“The school was offered a new port-

able, but, with their limited space, they could not accept it and reluctantly had to hand the money back,” he said.

“The school currently has no permanent buildings and lacks many facilities that most other schools enjoy. In 2009 they had 10 portable buildings with an average age of 30 years.

“The school has done a fantastic job with what they have. They deliver great outcomes for students, and the staff work tirelessly to ensure that students aren’t disadvantaged by their school facilities.

“It is time the government played their part.”

Group aims to soften effect of The Pillars Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FED up with having cars parked across their driveways, rubbish strewn in streets and on lawns, and 20-somethings wandering the streets urinating behind bushes, “concerned residents” in Mt Martha have formed The Pillars Residents Action Group.

Theirs is a campaign from the heart, and they are determined to protect their little piece of paradise from what’s become a marauding herd of young people invading the oncepristine shoreline – in ever-growing numbers.

As part of their campaign, the group successfully requested young people’s tourism website AWOL – which had listed “Jumping off The Pillars” as one of the ‘Top 20 things to do’ on the Mornington Peninsula – to remove reference to the site from their web page. The site had claimed to reach “over two million young and engaged Australians every month”.

Another possible catalyst to their campaign was the ripping out of six no-parking signs by disgruntled young motorists looking for easy places to park.

Up to 800 young people visited The Pillars one day last summer for some ‘cool’ fun in the sun, swimming in the clear waters and jumping off the rock formations. It’s a pattern repeated every warm day and most weekends over summer, and spurred on by favourable comments on social media.

“Our group formed in response to the current situation where high numbers of non-local young people are coming to the area to jump off

the rocky cliffs,” group member Sue Davey said.

“They are parking illegally, leaving rubbish everywhere – including in Lily Gully reserve at the bottom of Deakin Drive – and generally causing havoc in streets nearby.”

The residents’ group is not satisfied with Mornington Peninsula Shire’s

proposal to lift the current ‘no parking’ restrictions in many local streets.

“For residents in these streets, this is unacceptable,” Ms Davey said. “There are no formal pathways or crossings to get to The Pillars, no bins, many roads are narrow and unsealed and there are no toilets or facilities.”

A shire traffic and transport team

plan to “holistically address parking concerns” near The Pillars aims to ensure minimum road widths are maintained through parking restrictions.

Traffic and road safety officer Digby Smith told the group by email that “most community concerns highlighted that road access (particularly in the case of an emergency) was being impeded by parked vehicles on both sides of local roads near The Pillars”.

He said there were inconsistencies in current parking restrictions, particularly on Deakin Drive. “As a result, it is proposed that parking only be restricted on one side of Deakin Drive.”

“At this stage the traffic and transport team is compiling feedback like yours about the parking plan for Briars Ward councillors … and to be able to update the community with a finalised parking plan.”

The shire is liaising with the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and VicRoads over long-term plans for the popular site.

Mr Smith said: “Initial feedback from DELWP is that closing The Pillars is not an option given their experiences in other locations.

“We have raised concerns related to the ongoing erosion, safety of pedestrians using the cliffs and crossing The Esplanade, rubbish issues as well as poor behaviour being exhibited on a regular basis.

“It is intended that a long-term direction be determined by the land manager responsible for The Pillars so that we can then implement infrastructure, enforcement and education to support this direction.”

Mr Smith said a group request for

a path between Mt Martha shops and The Pillars had “been recorded into our footpath construction database for future consideration”.

The shire said constructing a footpath along The Esplanade was “a very difficult project given the terrain, culturally sensitive sites in the area, significant native vegetation and minimal space within the road reserve”.

“Given the footpath would be on crown land managed by DELWP, their consent would also be required. We receive a large number of requests for paths on the peninsula and a path between Mt Martha shops and The Pillars is not currently a high priority,” Mr Smith said.

Ms Davey, of Lempriere Av, said the group had “no intention of closing The Pillars”.

“We just want to get rid of the rubbish, parking problems, have safe walking paths from the South Beach carpark, and parking bays in Marguerita Av and Deakin Drive.”

Another idea is to build a lookout overseeing The Pillars to take away what’s attracting young people in the first place. “About 99 per cent of the visitors are P-platers and we think they love the fact that it’s hidden away,” Ms Davey said. “Having families able to access a lookout and watching them would take away its allure.”

The group has created a Facebook page where interested parties can comment, with entries to be forward to the council before the end of April.

Taking heart: Chest pain unit registrar Dr Tim Smith, patient Dale Worthington, and associate nurse manager Western Port Damian Flenley.

Heart attacks less deadly now assessed quickly Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FIT and active, lean and strong … that doesn’t sound like the CV of a potential heart attack victim, but the biggest killer of adult Australians is anything but predictable.

To prove that point, more than 100 patients have gone through Peninsula Health’s new chest pain unit in less than two months and one, Pearcedale’s Dale Worthington, certainly doesn’t fit the mould of the usual victims.

Mr Worthington, a 41 year old kitchen-and-bathroom renovator, was at work when he experienced a loss of breath and tightness in his chest.

He went straight to his doctor who referred him on to Frankston Hospital where he became the 101st patient

to go through the Rapid Assessment Chest Pain Unit which was opened by Premier Daniel Andrews and Health Minister Jill Hennessy only in February.

At the unit, specialist cardiologists provided a quick assessment of his chest pain – one of more than 2000 patients they will see each year.

An ECG showed fluid around his heart.

“If I was a smoker or drinker or obese I’d know that I have to change my lifestyle, but, in my case, I’m not really sure what I’ll have to do”, he said.

Access to the unit was a lifesaver for Mr Worthington whose heart was racing at 199 beats per minute. “I am normally very fit; I watch what I eat and weigh my food and count the calories

so I can compete in body building,” he said, which makes the exact cause of the problem hard to pinpoint.

Heart issues on both sides of his family may provide a clue.

Even after concerted efforts by doctors and the absorption of beta blockers, Mr Worthington’s heart was still pounding away at 114 beats per minute but, thankfully, stabilised a few days later at 75 beats.

While still having all sorts of tests, Mr Worthington said treatment at the new unit had made the inconvenience at least bearable.

“I had the best experience,” he said.

“The unit is fantastic and the staff were amazing.”

He says he’ll be paying more attention to his health from now on.

Century of memories for birthday mum Former state candidate MEMORIES of happy holidays at Merricks beach in her married years proved an irresistible attraction to Shoreham resident Dorothy Ellen Johnson as a place to live in her retirement.

After moving to the Mornington Peninsula to live at Shoreham House 10 years ago she celebrated her centenary, surrounded by family and friends, on Monday last week.

“What a fabulous century she has had,” son Phil Johnson said. “She has experienced everything from steam to electricity, lived through two world wars and the Roaring 20s, danced to

rock ‘n’ roll and the twist – she’s seen it all.”

Mrs Johnson – nee Tamblyn – worked for Coles stores in the 1930s as a 20-year-old, helping sales girls set up their departments, while travelling from store to store all over the city and even to Western Australia.

She married Mervyn Johnson in 1950 and they moved to Syndal to bring up their three children: Phillip, Ian and Rodney.

Mervyn was an engineer with the Melbourne City Council whose parents had a holiday house at Merricks –

one of the oldest having been built in 1927. The family loved their holidays by the seaside, and always thought of the place as their second home.

Mervyn died in 1983 and they spent 33 years together.

But Mrs Johnson has many happy memories of their life together and of holidaying at Merricks beach. It was just the place for Mrs Johnson to live in her later years.

Helping her celebrate on Monday last week were her sons and their wives, four great grandchildren and six grandchildren.

sets sights on Canberra CAROLYN Gleixner, 26, is the Labor Party candidate for the federal seat of Flinders held by Liberal Greg Hunt since 2001.

Ms Gleixner unsuccessfully ran against Nepean MP Martin Dixon (Liberal) in the 2014 state election.

After distribution of preferences in the six-candidate contest, Ms Gleixner had 42.37 per cent of the votes compared to Mr Dixon’s 57.63 per cent.

Ms Gleixner has a Building Certificate, Degree in Construction Management and a Masters in Project Management.

She has recently worked in Germany and before that was a “team leader … specialising in effective change leadership” for a development consultancy in Melbourne.

“My career experience has given me a practical understanding of business efficiency and effectiveness, and a focus on solid outcomes, which I intend to put to good use in Canberra,” Ms Gleixner stated in a news release announcing her candidacy for Flinders.

Mr Hunt is the federal government’s environment minister.

“I will be focusing on the environment, including protecting Point Nepean, Ramsar listed Western Port and our national treasure, the Great Barrier Reef – which have all been under attack from past and current Liberal governments,” Ms Gleixner said “I am really angered by the Liberals lack of respect and constant attacks on the environment.”

She said people were “appalled” at the government’s attitude towards the environment “and want an MP

who will address climate change and strongly advocate for alternative renewable energy use and innovation, including advocating for a fair return for rooftop solar”.

Ms Gleixner said she would also be “strongly advocating for Gonski needs based funding for our schools and affordable tertiary education”.

Ms Gleixner said the government had made to cuts to the health budget and, if elected, would “advocate for maintaining Medicare … Labor set up Medicare and we want to keep it”.

She said a Labor government would “save our economy” and release the country from “the undue influence of corporate giants”.

Picture: Yanni Birds of a feather: Southwest Mornington Peninsula Landcare Group president Rob Nigro demonstrates trap making at the February workshop.

Mynas have become a major matter INDIAN mynas are known as the “cane toads of the sky” – and for good reason.

After being introduced into Melbourne market gardens in the 1860s, in the misguided belief that they would control insects, their numbers along the eastern seaboard have skyrocketed.

They adapt easily to urban and rural landscapes and are now recognised by the World Conservation Union as one of the world’s 100 worst pest species.

The aggressive, territorial pests are a serious threat to native birds and other small animals.

Concerned about their effect on local native bird species, Southwest Mornington Peninsula Landcare Group members invite residents to become part of their Indian myna trapping project.

The group was overwhelmed when more than 90 people attended their trap-making workshop in February. More than 130 people have registered an interest in taking action to protect native wildlife by joining the trapping program. Participants sign an animal welfare protocol committing them to using humane, state-approved methods when euthanising the pests.

Fauna ecologist Malcolm Legg will explain how to set up a Start Your Own Trapping workshop, 10am-noon, Saturday 30 April, at Dromana Community Hall, 359 Pt Nepean Rd, Dromana. His email is Malcolmlegg@bigpond. com Mornington Peninsula Landcare staff are working with men’s sheds across the peninsula in building traps for the project. They hope the trapping project will ease pressure on indigenous fauna.

It’s reported the Cairns Remove Indian Mynas Group, working with their local men’s sheds, have removed about 40,000 birds since 2011.

Interest in the trapping program will ensure a similarly positive result can be achieved here, they say. Details: call 5950 1279.

Free green waste RESIDENTS can reduce the amount of green waste around their homes by taking advantage of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s no charge green waste weekend, Saturday 30 April-Sunday 1 May. Green waste from cars and trailers will be accepted free at tips at Truemans Rd, Rye, McKirdys Rd, Tyabb, and Watt Rd, Mornington.

Opening hours are 8am-5pm both days.

The no-charge weekend is for shire residents or ratepayers only, with green waste to be delivered only from private cars and trailers. No commercial vehicles or commercial green waste will be accepted.

Consider using the Tyabb site to avoid potential delays at Mornington, which only accepts up to three cubic metres of green waste per trip.

Those disposing of rubbish should bring their driver’s licence or proof of residency.

Green waste includes all types of garden waste and untreated timber.

Voyage ends for a master mariner ALWAYS polite, Frank Hart nevertheless knew how to make a point or win an argument. Preparation and knowledge was a key to his success.

A seafarer and former harbourmaster at the Port of Hastings, Mr Hart’s many qualities were remembered and highlighted in the accounts of his life given at his funeral in Mt Martha on Thursday 24 March.

Mr Hart, 82, had died the previous Sunday from pancreatic cancer.

Ann Forrest, his partner of 32 years, described him as a “practical, hands on man” enamoured by sailing since being a nine-year-old in England’s Lake District where he would “con lifts with fishermen”.

He was a boarder 1946-50 at The Nautical College, Pangbourne, near the Thames in Berkshire, which at that time offered a curriculum specifically designed to prepare young men for the merchant marine. In his final year he won the school’s seamanship skills cup before going to sea as a cadet, rising to the rank of second in command.

His early years at sea with the British merchant navy saw him bringing cargoes to Australia and New Zealand. He migrated to Australia with his first wife Wendy Brown and son Timothy in 1960, setting up house at Boronia.

After having two jobs connected with stevedoring in his adopted country and five years with the Australian merchant marine, Mr Hart was appointed assistant harbourmaster at the Port of Hastings in 1966, a position he held for six years before being

Frank Hart

given the top job which he held for 16 years.

He and Wendy and sons Timothy, Richard and Malcolm, lived at first in Crib Point and then Hastings as a requirement of being harbourmaster.

The couple divorced in 1982.

Mr Hart met Ms Forrest in 1984 and they lived in Mornington for 15 years and then Frankston for 13. They moved back to Mornington just over two years ago.

While in Frankston Mr Hart spent a decade with Frankston Beach Association, becoming at various times

president and secretary. Mr Hart was a critic of the plans to build a marina at the foot of Olivers Hill, both for reasons of marine safety and the effect he believed it would have on beaches from Frankston to Mordialloc and in Daveys Bay, Mt Eliza.

After many decades, the marina has never materialised, although Frankston Council remains officially committed to its development.

In later years Mr Hart became known as an “expert witness” during hearings into the state government’s Port Phillip channel deepening

project. Leader of the Blue Wedges campaign against the channel deepening Jenny Warfe, said Mr Hart was “an unexpected but most welcome arrival”.

“It soon became obvious that through his expertise as a master mariner ... Frank was offering us a rare gift,” Ms Warfe said in an email soon after hearing of Mr Hart’s death.

The campaign ultimately failed and environmentalists now say the loss of sand at Portsea’s bay beach is one of the consequences of the dredging.

Ms Warfe said Frank Hart’s “unique contribution” to the anti-channel deepening campaign “was alerting us to aspects of the project we hadn’t even thought of: including the complexities of the shipping industry, channel design and current speed, and the risks associated with moving ever bigger and bigger ships through shallow treacherous waters”.

“Frank was an expert in the true sense. He was deeply well informed.

He wasn’t paid for his opinion, he gave it freely. He owed no-one and no-one owed him,” Ms Warfe said.

“He spent hundreds of hours preparing for these appearances, researching widely and writing detailed witness statements. No doubt his evidence contributed to the highly credentialed 2004 panel recommending that the project, as designed, should not proceed.”

Ms Forrest said Mr Hart had been an advocate for Western Port as the “logical” site for Victoria’s next container port.

“He believed in it thoroughly

because it had the depth for big ships, there were rail links and it seemed ridiculous for ships to spend four and a half hours in Port Phillip to reach the Port of Melbourne,” Ms Forrest told The News.

However, in recent years Mr Hart had changed his mind, saying “Darwin is going to be the port for Australia” as Melbourne was “too far away” for ships to come.

“All over the world countries are shifting their ports to the ocean’s edge, not in bays. They can off-load their cargoes straight onto rail.”

One source of great pride to Mr Hart was a boat far smaller than those which had had had a hand in bringing safely to port. Ms Forrest jokingly says she was “behind Isabella [a 29 foot Harrison Butler designed sloop] in the pecking order”.

As a couple, Ms Forrest and Mr Hart sailed many seas in the Isabella.

The sloop’s journeys included a shorthanded 19-day trip to New Zealand in 1997, which saw it battle through three storms, the same ones that created havoc in that year’s Sydney to Hobart.

In her obituary to Mr Hart, Ms Forrest recalled how they had first met aboard the Isabella and how “sailing became our connection, both north and south of the Equator”.

“I can still see us sailing under the bridge at San Remo, Phillip Island, on the way across Bass Strait to Tasmania. Not a quick passage on Isabella, but always cosy and, as Frank said, it gave us more time to count the stars.”

University reserves a place at Pt Nepean Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE state government has signed a memorandum of understanding with Melbourne University to establish a marine research centre in part of the heritage listed former quarantine station despite a master plan for the future use of Point Nepean National Park not being due for release until later this year.

The agreement means that the university will receive $2.1m over six years from the National Environmental Science Program towards establishing a National Centre for Coasts and Climate (NCCC).

The university says it will provide a $3m “matching investment�.

Vice-chancellor Professor Glyn Davis said the university was “happy to be moving forward with more active discussions about its plans for the site�. “The Point Nepean National Park provides a unique place-based learning and research environment,� Prof Davis said. “The university hopes to contribute to the future of the park, and looks forward to working with government and with the community in exploring this development.�

The state and federal governments left it up to the university to issue a news release about the proposal which it says is “still subject to the community consultation process that will inform the Point Nepean Master Plan�.

The Victorian National Parks Association’s project manager Chris Smyth said giving the university “preferred

Looking for a partner: Melbourne University hopes to partner with industry and government at Point Nepean National Park to study blue carbon (carbon captured by living organisms in oceans), coastal erosion and coastal revegetation.

occupier� status was pre-empting the master planning process.

Mr Smyth said previous proposals for Point Nepean by the university had been flawed and gave notice that the VNPA would “vigorously oppose any similar proposal�. “Preferred uses should be those that are open to public scrutiny and maximise benefit to the national park, not those for which the public has been sidelined in the process,� he said.

The state Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water, Lisa Neville, said the agreement with Melbourne University would not preempt outcomes of the process by Parks Victoria “that will inform the Point Nepean master plan that is currently underway�.

Ms Neville said the federal government’s $2.1 million would have been lost if the state had not come to an agreement with the university.

She said the money was “going to be taken off the table at this federal budget�. “If the community does not support the university’s proposal, it won’t go ahead, which is clear in the MoU,� Ms Neville said.

The student union publication Farrago in March 2015 reported the NCCC “has been designed as an educational interface between the university and the general public� with the university concentrating on “outreach programs and research activity pertaining to coastal productivity�. “A Coastal Discovery Facility will be

constructed within the main complex that will serve as an interactive learning centre and public aquarium, showcasing Southern Ocean marine life.

The university plans to use this space to run short courses in environmental science, management and engineering.

Construction on the entire facility has already begun, with completion expected in 2016,� Farrago reported.

The university says the centre will research coastal ecology and management, “as well as delivering teaching in those areas�.

The university also hopes to establish a Coastal Discovery Centre, “showcasing this research and contributing to greater public understanding of the ecological and cultural treasures of Point Nepean�.

Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt said that the $2.1m research funding “will enable the NCCC to pursue research focusing on carbon accumulation rates in coastal vegetated habitats - known as blue carbon - coastal erosion and coastal revegetation�.

Long an advocate for coastal research at Point Nepean, Mr Hunt said the money was “intended to position the NCCC as a world-class research facility into the threats and opportunities presented by climate change in the coastal zone�. “The old quarantine station’s empty buildings are an ideal location for this research centre. It will allow for the adaptive re-use and ongoing care of some of the site’s nationally-significant heritage precinct,� he said.

Mr Hunt said the NCCC would be a partner in the Earth Systems and Cli-

The Western Port Whisperer

THE Whisperer and Mrs Whisperer enjoy a good read, however, they’ve never been fans of horror stories

by Stephen King. Thus, the recent publication they read was just too frightening for them both.

The Shire’s ‘Proposed Budget for 2016/2017’, (or as The Whisperer likes to call it ‘Where’s Western Port?) will disappoint, but not shock readers of this column.

The only significant local project funded in the next financial year is the plan for reduced carparks, the loss of light poles and the removal of trees from High Street, Hastings (refer to the last column by The Whisperer).

Once again, the issues ‘our’ Shire are supposedly passionate about (the

Otama and other local infrastructure) in the Western Port region have been ignored.

The Whisperer understands why the anti-shire movement in the Western Port region is growing, but is baffled the Shire is not doing anything to defend itself before a community losing patience with them. *** UNLESS you are visually impaired, are living in mangroves or at the bottom of a pothole, the graffiti crisis in every Western Port township is obvious.

Our shire, United Energy, VicRoads, Victoria Police and others must have little respect for us, and even less for their own assets.

Our train line, roadways, power poles, fences and public buildings (including the halls at Somerville, Bittern and Hastings) all are reminiscent of filthy public toilets.

Hopefully common sense will prevail, however, considering none of our towns seem important, and we are not on the Port Phillip coastline, don’t expect these bureaucrats to act any time soon.

It appears the only way this issue will be treated seriously is if it takes place in Main Street, Mornington or Nepean Highway, Rosebud.

How on earth can any bureaucrat, working from Besgrove Street, or in an office in Melbourne, endorse such ‘kiddie vandalism’ as acceptable for

the Western Port region?

It is bad enough shops are closing and there is nothing substantial to give business a boost in the region, so why would these bureaucrats consider it fine to allow another plague of fixable issues to wreck our region even further.

Maybe if the graffiti is offensive, and located on the offices of bureaucrats, it would be removed. *** THE Whisperer has received emails about a giant hole in Somerville.

Mrs Whisperer was convinced these were foretelling the annual MPNG April Fool’s Day joke, however, this was certainly no joke!

The Whisperer assumed the emails

mate Change Hub under the National Environmental Science Program.

The 2009 management plan signed by then state Environment Minister Gavin Jennings and his federal counterpart Peter Garrett also proposed a National Centre for Coasts and Climate at the quarantine station.

There was no mention of the University of Melbourne: “There is an opportunity to encourage educational visits, particularly by secondary school groups undertaking curriculum-based and VCE studies, and tertiary study groups covering a range of disciplines including the sciences, arts and humanities,� the plan stated.

The years leading up to that plan saw the Launceston-based Australian Maritime College and La Trobe University abandon plans to occupy part of the national park.

Melbourne University was included in the 2014 proposal by the Point Leisure Group and accepted by the Denis Napthine-led state government based around a luxury hotel, thermal pools and “health and wellness�.

The current state government won’t say how much it paid to end the contract with the Point Leisure group.

The latest announcement seems a far cry from the university’s initial plans for the NCCC which, on 26 June 2010, Mr Hunt told parliament involved a $7m fit-out of buildings; provided places for 110 students; $2m “trailing rent�; $50 million provided by the Commonwealth through different sources; and, the state placing $10 million in escrow “purely for the purposes of the quarantine station area�.

were pothole related, and certainly not related to a 30-meter-deep ‘open cut mine’.

News of deep potholes is common nowadays, however, apologies for not taking the issue seriously until now.

Talk about The Whisperer digging his own hole!

For the record, The Whisperer is not a fan of this in Somerville, but supports the idea of it being dug in Rosebud.

This could end the swimming pool debate which has dragged on longer than a Rolling Stones tour! *** Heard any Whispers? Let the Whisperer know at: westernportwhisperer@gmail.com

OBITUARY

Stewart Watt: orchardist, saddler and volunteer

By Peter McCullough STEWART Watt was born in Somerville and lived for most of his life in the Western Port area. Originally an orchardist on the family property in Watts Road, his passion was leather work and for the latter part of his working life he was a saddler. Highly respected and strongly committed to his community, Stewart passed away on 7 April at the age of 85. A large crowd attended Holy Trinity church in Hastings where the funeral was held on 16 April, Rev. Alex Packett officiating. The eulogy was given by son, David, supported by other family members. This obituary is based on David’s eulogy. *** STEWART’S great grandparents arrived from Scotland in 1853 and took up land to farm at Campbellfield to the north of Melbourne. One of their sons, James, who was born in 1864, became a horse breaker and saddler. He joined the police force and in 1890 Mounted Trooper James Watt became the first officer to be stationed at Hastings. When he retired from the force in 1913 he took up fruit growing full time on the orchard that he established in Watts Road. To the locals this section of FrankstonFlinders Road is still known as “Watts Road.”

On 9 May, 1930 Stewart James David Watt was born in the Somerville hospital to Len and Laura Watt.

He was the younger brother of Alison and Margaret. Stewart grew up on the orchard which by this time was being run by his father.

Stewart attended Hastings State School and on his first day, when photographs were being taken, he was seated beside a young girl named Anne McKenzie. Seventeen years later they were married at Holy Trinity in Hastings. Co-incidentally Anne’s family came from Lossiemouth in Scotland which is where her mother-in-law’s family originated.

During the war Stewart attended Frankston Tech., leaving at fifteen to work on the orchard with his father.

Horses were an interest from an early age and so too were motor bikes as he grew older; his pride and joy was a Royal Enfield.

Stewart and Anne built their first home on the orchard and raised their family: Katrina, David, Rhonda and Allan. As the children grew up they had free reign of the orchard with Stewart’s only injunction “...and don’t go in the spray shed.”So there were rafts on the dam and secret tunnels in the apple case shed; all good fun, although riding on a sheet of iron being pulled behind the lorry may have

been on the risky side!

The growth of the family revived Stewart’s interest in ponies with horses being bred, educated, and ridden by all members. Family rides through Hastings on a Sunday morning when the town was a lot quieter, and longer rides to Tooradin, are great family memories.

The advent of the horses renewed Stewart’s interest in leatherwork, a passion which had started at primary school when he made “shanghais” for his fellow students for three pence each. His father’s leather apron grew shorter and shorter as a consequence!

A venture into polo playing came to an abrupt halt when Anne attended a competition game and considered it too dangerous for the father of a young family. So Stewart returned to his hobby of saddlery and harness making.

With four children it was natural that Stewart and Anne would become involved with school committees, boy scouts, girl guides, basketball, school sports, and church programmes.

Stewart became a dab hand at making up sets and setting up lighting for ballet concerts.

Having lived most of his life in the Hastings/Somerville area it was inevitable that Stewart would become involved in local community activities. He was a volunteer fireman with the Hastings CFA for 25 years and a member of Hastings Rotary for 30 years, serving as both President and Secretary. In fact both he and Anne were awarded the Paul Harris Fellowship for service to Rotary and the community. They were both members of Probus and Stewart served a term as President of Somerville Probus Club.

The Western Port area changed with the arrival of various industries and consequently Stewart sold the orchard in 1974 for housing development; this was at a time when it was producing 30,000 cases of apples a year.

After spending half his working life as an orchardist, Stewart then fulfilled his dream of being a saddler and harness maker. As well as conducting saddlery classes at his own workshop on their smaller property in Merricks North, Stewart spent eighteen years teaching saddlery and practical horse skills part time at both Glenormiston and Dookie Agricultural Colleges.

He took horse management students from the colleges on a study tour of New Zealand. Stewart also undertook many private commissions for saddles and harnesses and, according to family members, there would not be a picking bag or horse rug on the peninsula that he hasn’t repaired at some point.

The Merricks North property was an ideal base for trail rides and it became the spot for riders to leave their cars and horse floats. Stewart enjoyed participating in these rides and also looked forward to the occasional excursion to the high country beyond Mansfield.

Stewart and Anne started their overseas travels around 1980 as the children left home and, with some members living in England and grandchildren arriving, there was always a good excuse for another overseas trip.

gardening and building was evident as the garden he established at Vista Court was included in the Open Garden Scheme. A new workshop was built and the leather work continued.

While living in Somerville Stewart spent six years on the maintenance committee at Iluka Guide Camp in Shoreham.

Stewart and Anne’s next move was to St. Johns Retirement Village in Somerville in 2009. There was a smaller garden and a much-scaleddown workshop, but the extra time allowed them to enjoy more Probus and social outings.

With a deterioration in his health, Stewart was placed in The Bays Aged Care facility in Hastings in 2013. This was just down the road from, and in sight of, the old orchard; according to Stewart it was just like coming home.

At The Bays he was taken care of by the devoted, professional and caring staff prior to his passing at the age of 85.

Two more bedrooms in the opposite wing share a second bathroom, and a separate home office could be a fourth bedroom if required.

ANZAC DAY AROUND WESTERN PORT

Hundreds at Tyabb for early early service ABOUT 700 turned up for the Anzac dawn service at Tyabb.

The service, conducted by the Hastings RSL in a crisp foggy atmosphere, saw Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Carl Cowie lay a wreath on behalf of the shire.

Traffic management organised by the shire kept the truck noise to a minimum but, unfortunately, the sound system was not adequate to cater for the unanticipated large crowd.

Many Tyabb senior and junior football and netball club members joined pupils from all the Tyabb schools and representatives of local service clubs to pay their respects.

Breakfast was prepared by the Tyabb 1st Scouts.

Readings and poems from both Tyabb primary schools as well as Padua and Flinders Christian College were well received and, in the words of MC “Boof” Dollisson: “It is so encouraging to see the amount of young people participating in ever increasing numbers each year.”

This year we were also joined by Pastor Rod Whitford from the Western Port Christian Family Church.

The dawn service restarted about 12 years ago with just a handful of attendees and today we see around 700. That says a lot about the commitment and pride of the “Tyabbians”.

Two highlights were a poem The Trench written and read by a pupil from Tyabb Railway Primary school and a note to the “diggers” from “The Kids of Dalton Drive” left with a wreath.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Farewell function for our soldiers Compiled by Melissa Walsh A VERY successful function took place at Mornington Junction on Saturday evening last, when Privates Walter Scott, John Pariss, John Holley and Andrew Fulton were tendered a farewell social, on the eve of their departure for the front. Mr Geo. Griffeth, president of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, occupied the chair, and a first-class programme was rendered by the Langwarrin Camp Concert Party, under the direction of Sergeant Gigney, the following being the items given :—Overture, Patriotic Airs, Sergeant Moir; song, “On the banks of the old canal,” Private F. Dale; recitation, Sgt Richardson; The Singing Comedian, Pte Val Reeves; A few moments at the piano, Sgt Hammond: The Actor Vocalist, Band-sergeant-Major Grocott Ragtime Seyncopation, Pte W.Elder; song, Pte Sinclair; The Bird Man, Pte Hogan ; The Silvery Tenor, Pte Smith; Ventriloquism, Carbine Short Rifle. *** A LARGE yarding of cattle and sheep is advertised for Messrs A. Scott and Co’s monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, besides some special lines on account of Messrs Firth and Doherty. *** A CAPITAL programme has been arranged for the patriotic concert to be given by Misses Anderson and Miller in the Frankston Mechanics’

Hall this evening, and a pleasant evening’s amusement is assured. *** THE picture show held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Easter Monday Night, in aid of St Francis Xavier’s R. C. Church funds was well attended by an appreciative audience, who showed their appreciation of the pictures shown by frequent applause. *** A PUBLIC meeting will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Wednesday evening next to discuss the matter of having a roll of honor erected in some prominent place in honor of those who have enlisted in defence of the Empire. *** SOME local sports are credited with winning large amounts at the Easter race meetings. Mr Col. McKenzie won a good race at Cranbourne with his own horse which was well backed locally, whilst another local sport is reported to have netted a large amount over the Epsom and Williamstown meetings. *** A CHAR-A-BANC, while on its way to Mornington on Tuesday, with a large party of returned wounded soldiers on board, broke down in Frankston. Good Samaritans, in the shape of Mr W. Catanach (chairman of the State Waters Commission) and Mrs Catanach, turned up and entertained the party at dinner, at the Pier Hotel, which generous act was much appreciated by the belated

ones. *** ANOTHER old and respected resident of this district has passed over the border, in the person of Mrs Cottier, who died on Monday evening last at her residence, at the ripe age of 81 years. The deceased lived here for the last 27 years in the enjoyment of average health up to about last Xmas, when she had a nasty fall from which she never seemed to fully recover. The remains were interred in the Frankston cemetery on Wednesday afternoon, the Rev E. Tonkin officiating at the grave. A grown up family of three daughters and five sons are left to mourn their loss, her husband having pre-deceased her many years. Mr H. Gamble conducted the funeral arrangements. *** THREE of our local sports appear to have had a rather exciting time on Easter Monday. It appears that they drove out for the purpose of having some rabbit shooting, but owing to the scarcity of game, they got tired travelling about, and lay down for a spell.

One of them fell asleep, and by some unexplained means the grass around him caught fire, and he was with difficulty extricated from his exceedingly warm position by his companions. After this they determined to return home, and on the way a rabbit was sighted,and fired at, but the horse happened to be not bro-

ken in to stand under fire and commenced kicking up, with the result that one of them was thrown out.

After getting the horse quieted, they proceeded on their way, and arrived home without further mishap, but minus any game, and fully convinced that rabbit shooting is not the game it is cracked up to be. *** THE Good Friday and Easter services at St Paul’s Church, Frankston, in spite of bad weather on the Friday, were in many ways more successful than ever before. The midday service on Easter Day was unique in more ways than one. At that service the number of communicants and the amount of the collection were in both cases larger than at any previous service in the history of that church.

Very noticeable also was the profound reverence on the part of the congregation. Only once previously was an Easter evening service as large as that of last Sunday. The Vestry of St Paul’s have had many financial sets back since the war started, and for some months past have had a big struggle to keep things going and pay all accounts up to date.

Their anxieties have now been removed for the time being, as the special Easter offerings were more than double those of last year, and £10 more than ever before, the largest previous being four years ago. This is very encouraging to all concerned.

On Anzac Day, at St Paul’s Church, services were held in memory of the landing at Gallipoli. Thanksgivings for the bravery of the men, and intercessions for the peace of the fallen and the victory the arms of Great Britain were offered, and the Vicar gave a short address. *** ANZAC Day was celebrated at the Rosebud State School on 20th April in the presence of a number of parents and friends. The programme, arranged by the Education Department was carried out under the supervision of the teacher, Mr Perrin, and the assemblage was addressed by Mr E. J. Alexander, J. P. and by a returned Anzac , Sergt Major Cotterill, who described in an interesting manner the historic landing in which he took part, receiving three hearty cheers at the conclusion of his speech.

An honor roll of over 20 names of former scholars now at the front or enlisted showed that there was no lack of patriotism in Rosebud. The ceremony concluded with the singing of the National Anthem. The scholars were much disappointed at the nonarrival of their Anzac medals, and it would appear that better arrangements could have been made for an equitable allotment of the number struck. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 29 April, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Why we should take stupidity more seriously

By Stuart McCullough DEVO were right: it really is a beautiful world we live in. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that it’s a beautiful place to be. We should probably whip it real good, but that’s another story.

Granted, this big old Earth has its fair share of problems and you don’t have to look too far to find pain, misery and misfortune. But then there’s the good stuff: the unexpected things that serve to bind humanity in general and the planet more broadly together. One such event happened just recently.

I refer, of course, to RSS Boaty McBoatface.

After Albert Einstein invented the Theory of Relativity, the next law of physics he developed was ‘Never Work with Kids or Animals’. This scientific fact has been proved millions of times since, but with technology being what it is, these rules are in serious need of a re-draft. ‘Never Ask the Public to Name Anything’ ought to be a fundamental law of the Universe, unless of course, you’re happy to accept the consequences.

When the National Environment Research Council had a new four hundred million dollar boat, they asked the public for name suggestions. The polar research vessel will carry scientists to the Arctic to answer important scientific questions such as: ‘how’s climate change going?’ and ‘what’s Santa Claus really like?’ There were many worthwhile name suggestions including ‘the David Attenborough’ and ‘the Endeavour’. Some smart alec even suggested the ‘Ice Ice Baby’.

But, by far and away, the most popular suggestion was ‘RSS Boaty McBoat-

Having lured readers by creating false sense of comfort, we then offered up the following poetic magic: Love is like a winter’s day, Sometimes it comes, sometimes it doesn’t Love is like a winter’s fire, Its flames are burning with desire, It also burns the wood we put on it.

face’. As names go, Boaty McBoatface is immensely stupid. And that’s what’s so wonderful about it.

You might say it was the first time I was truly responsible for anything.

In year ten, I volunteered to be part of the editing team for the end of year school magazine. It was an awesome responsibility. A select few got to decide which of our peers had produced work worthy of publication. It was (and probably still is) a big deal. This magazine went not only to the students but their parents. Cleverly, class photos were buried within the pages, increasing the likelihood that adults would give the thing something more

than a cursory glance.

It was my first taste of real power.

Frankly, power tasted pretty good. The thing about a school magazine is that it’s not always easy to find top-notch creative works to include. Luckily, I had access to a near-limitless supply of jaw-droppingly awesome poetry; namely my own. It was inevitable that many of my works should find their way into the finished product. Had it been left only to me, the thing would have been chock-full of my teenage creative outpourings and my picture on the cover (probably). Luckily, other people were involved and provided something of a steadying influence.

One of these was Mark. We’d been friends for years and he was (and still is) a really creative guy. Editing is a task performed in the dead of night and I’ll admit that I got a little tired. And a little silly. A plan was duly hatched – Mark and I would combine our wit and wisdom to create the stupidest poem we possibly could and then sneak it in to the end of year school magazine. After all, we were the editing team. Who was going to stop us?

To write a spectacularly stupid poem, you should first come up with a title that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the contents of the poem itself. We chose ‘Little Bunny Rabbit’.

It’s popular these days to hold events called ‘poetry slams’. As far as Mark and I were concerned, this was a poetry slam-dunk. That it took two people to author this poetic tour-deforce probably caused considerable puzzlement if not concern. Convinced it was completely hilarious, we ensured our poem appeared in a prominent place within the magazine. We held our breath as the finished product was duly distributed to every family at the school. To my surprise, no one said a thing. Our masterpiece went by, failing to provoke anything by way of a reaction. Perhaps it was not nearly silly enough. Or maybe they saw it for what it was: a harmless bit of fun.

The people have spoken. There’s more than enough that’s serious in this world. There should always be a little room for stupid. Soon, Her Majesty’s Royal Research Ship, Boaty McBoatface, will be sailing the icy seas of the Arctic, seeking to unravel the mysteries of the Universe. God’s speed to all that sail in her. To celebrate I might write a poem. A poem that is as silly and stupid as possible. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

By Toe Punt SEAFORD won its second game on the trot in MPNFL Peninsula Division, holding on to beat Bonbeach.

The Tigers led by 28 points at the last change after leading by just two points at the long interval, however, the Sharks stormed home in the last to fall short by 11 points, 13.13 (91) to 11.14 (80).

Seaford coach Ben Murphy told the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that he was confident that his young charges would continue to improve throughout the season.

“The guys clearly lacked leadership when I arrived and as far as I was concerned, this was the first thing that I needed to work on.

“Leadership, I believe, comes from empowerment and that’s the way I’ve treated the group – they need to take control and I will provide all the support I can,” Murphy said.

“It was also important to recruit players who were leaders, the likes of Dean Williamson and Kyle Matthews have been important in the teams’ development, while the likes of Josh Stokes, Aaron Walton and Kain Taylor are senior players and provide strong leadership.

“The group also needed to understand, accept and execute a brand–new game plan, which is always going to take some time.

“I’m really confident that we have a committed group of players throughout the club. We’ll experience some highs and low because that’s footy but I’m excited about this season and the future.

“My previous role was not dissimilar to the Seaford role. The club has experienced great success in the past, fallen behind a little, has great kids and a good junior club and eventually we worked our way to win premierships again.

“That’s the plan here at Seaford,” Murphy said.

Dean Williamson and Kieran Shaw were outstanding for the Tigers while 11 individual players hit the scoreboard.

Luke Damon booted three goals for the Sharks in his first senior game for the club while Jackson Bennett and Dylan Jones shone.

The Sharks have a pretty good list and would be concerned to be winless after three rounds.

Chelsea is inside the top five after winning its second game on the trot also, this time against Langwarrin.

The Gulls set up the win in the second quarter with a powerful seven goal to one term, opening up a commanding 43–point lead.

Despite not being at full strength, the Seagulls still managed to boot 7.4 to 7.2 in the second half to run out 17.10 (112) to 10.7 (67) winners.

Matty Baxter booted four and Curtis Bywater three goals for the winners while Todd Gardniner and Grant Trew continued their great starts to the season.

Kieran Albanese booted four for the Kangas while leaders Shane Paterson and Gerard Brown collected the top votes.

On Sunday, Pines got its season back on track, beating Edithvale–Aspendale, while Frankston YCW flexed its muscles, beating Karingal by more than 100 points in the Frankston RSL Cup.

Yabby avoids serious injury NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE ANZAC Round of football in Nepean League was soured on Saturday when Tyabb midfielder Adrian Clay was airlifted to hospital.

At the 30-second mark of the third quarter in the match between the Yabbies and Sorrento, Clay had his head over the footy and was about to pick it up when a teammate came hard off the square and accidentally hit him in the head.

Clay laid motionless on the ground as trainers attended to him.

The game was called off a short time later as it was obvious that further medical attention was required to assist the midfielder.

Just before the air ambulance arrived to take Clay to hospital, he started to regain feeling in his legs.

The news the following morning (Sunday) was even better. The club confirmed that initial scans had appeared positive, although he would require further testing.

Sorrento coach Nick Jewell said it was a worrying time for everyone at the ground.

“It was certainly a strange feeling but everyone was just concerned about Adrian and hoping that he was OK,” Jewell said.

Before the game was called off, Sorrento was in total control.

The Yabbies did well to hold the

Sharks in the opening quarter (3.5 to 0.1) and early in the second, however, the floodgates opened at the seven minute mark of the second quarter.

The Sharks booted seven goals in 23 minutes with Luke Tapscott adding two more to his two first quarter goals and Nick Corp dominating also with a couple of goals.

Tyrren Head was also enjoying his best game of the season.

The Yabbies didn’t kick a goal in the first half, such was the strong defensive pressure of the Sharks.

Josh Connell and the in form Luke Rigg were getting their hands on the footy and Scott Torpy was continuing his good start to the season also.

When the game was called off though, everyone quickly forgot about the first hour of the game.

Down the road at Pier St Oval in Dromana, the home side won its second game of the season, knocking over Rye by eight points in a thriller.

Four goals to Beau McMurray in the third quarter got the Tigers’ tails up again after they trailed by 21 points at half time. The home side booted six goals to two points in the third to lead by 18 at the last change.

To that point in the game, 15 of the 16 goals had all come from the Mt Martha end of Pier St oval. Rye was kicking with the advantage in the last.

The Demons got within two points of the Tigers with just two minutes remaining, however, a mark and conversion to Dromana’s Beau Cosson with 55 seconds on the clock sealed victory.

Billy and Jackson Quigley were outstanding for the Tigers while Mitch Gill-Furness was unquestionably their best four quarter contributor.

Ryan Mullet was clearly the best player on the ground for the Demons with 41 possessions while Kris Bardon wasn’t too far behind with 38 touches.

The challenge for the Tigers now is to find consistency in the kids – they have to shorten the gap between their best and their worst.

It will come with experience, however, wins against Sorrento and Rye should give them enormous confidence that their best is good enough.

On Sunday, Rosebud continued its up and down season, inflicting Red Hill’s first loss of the season.

The Buds opened well, got their noses in front and held their opponents at bay for the duration of the match.

In the other Sunday match, Devon Meadows ended the season of Crib Point.

The Meadows held off an early onslaught from the home side before working their way into the contest, taking control and winning comfortably.

Devil of a time: Dromana got home over Rye with an eight point win. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Magpie fail to fly again; losses mount CRIB POINT FNC

Picture: Emma Davidson

By Jared Newton A BRAND new shiny scoreboard for Crib but it projected the same result as the seniors now 0-3 to open their season with a 50 point loss to Devon Meadows.

The seniors started well and ran with Devon for a solid half before being overrun after half time.

Avenues to goal are the biggest issue for the seniors who are struggling to apply enough scoreboard pressure to get on top of teams.

Brad Arnold was enormous in the middle and snagged three, and Kyle Arnott was also brilliant in his first game back into the seniors.

All in all it has been a flat start for the seniors who really need a spark next week to ignite their season.

The reserves were another case of not quite good enough in a good but not great performance against Devon reserves.

In a low scoring game where the lead see-sawed throughout it, was the Panthers who found themselves in front at the final siren with a 10 point win.

Crib had their chances but a slow start to the final term ultimately cost the Pies as they never quite recovered from the successive goals by Devon which put the game out of reach.

James Forecast was best afield across half back for the Pies and Mitch Kleinig kicked all the goals with 4. If he manages to keep the skunk-like behaviour hidden and doing the team things like he has the last fortnight, he could very well find himself in the seniors if they’re looking for a guy who can kick goals.

1-2 is underachieving at the moment but there are enough positives there to suggest it can be turned around.

The unders have well and truly put their first round disappointment behind them with their second successive win over Devon Meadows in a dominant display.

After an early arm wrestle, Barn’s charges took control of the game to run out winners by 33 points.

Joel Wisken and Harri Dekleuver kicked three apiece with Harri being close to BOG. The senior selectors must also be keeping a close eye on the progress of Joey Smith too.

Hastings’ gutsy Anzac Day win HASTINGS FNC THE Hastings FNC played Frankston Bombers FNC in their third Anzac Day clash at Barclay Oval in what can be best described as a bruising encounter between two of the oldest Clubs in the MPNFL. On a fine day both clubs certainly came to play. The opening term was fabulous with both sides going toe- totoe.

In the end the Hastings FNC proved too good with an outstanding second half. They put their stamp on the contest and came out 18 point winners.

Next week we travel to Devon Meadows in what will be another tough contest for all sides.

On behalf of the club we would like to sincerely thank the Hastings RSL, and in particular Boof Dollinson, for all their efforts on the day.

Also a huge thank you to The Diva Talent School, Dawn Shore and the wonderful Bridgett Kennedy for her singing of the national anthem. A big thank you to Judy Pay from the Old Aeroplane Company in Tyabb.

This weekend we head to Devon Meadows. Games start from 10am. #getonboardthebluestrain Senior Report Anzac Day was a great day for footy .

The sun was shining and it was great to see so many supporters at the ground.

PAGE 44

As a senior group we were challenged and the Bombers really brought great pressure to the contest.

We worked hard and did a great job to be level at half time.

To the boy’s credit they came out after half time and played really well in the third quarter. Unfortunately we were unable to get the rewards as we kicked two goals 10 for the quarter .

This left the game open for the Bombers.

They hit the lead ten minutes into the last quarter and again we had a fight on our hands.

It was great to get the four points and great to see Wade playing his first game and Jake Hewitt stepping up.

Well done to Matt Clifford who won the Anzac medal.

Reserves Report After two very competitive weeks with no result we finally found a way to win.

It was a very hot contest early with Frankston taking their chances in front of goal.

Although we were in the contest Frankston were always that step ahead with us not using the ball to the best of our abilities.

The second half we started to win the ball and use it much better and we started to claw our way back into the game.

Although they kicked the first goal

Western Port News 26 April 2016

of the last the boys managed to stay strong in the contest and will there way over the line.

Every player had their chance to shine in the last quarter and every player took his chance.

A very even spread of contributors led to a very pleasing win. Now onto the premiers.

Best: Ben Schroen, Jay Austerberry and Nathan Goodacre.

Under 19’s Report ANZAC Day is a massive privilege for us to be a part of.

The boys were fired up for a great contest and that’s what we got from Frankston.

The first quarter saw no goals scored with both defences working hard.

Great work from Lachie Gibbs and Fraser Rendall in his first game for the club.

Jakecob Withers worked tirelessly chasing and hassling as all good backs should.

In the second Peter Megee, Shaun Hewitt and Luke McVeigh stood up and continued winning the hard ball.

A couple of goals to Frankston made our job harder but the boys continued to work hard; doing the one percenters well, but turning the ball over too easily and consistently.

The boys continued to pressure the opposition right to the end but Frankston eventually ran out winners.

Great effort boys. Continue working hard and the rewards will come.

Netball Report It was a very warm Monday for our annual Anzac clash against the Frankston Bombshells, the sun making a fool of the ‘winter sport’ title.

Our C grade girls faced a very competitive and skilled side that restricted them to a single goal in the first quarter.

However we saw an Anzac inspired effort from Siobhan. She had a ‘never give up’ attitude despite carrying an injury, but continued to fight it out until the last whistle.

Overall we were noticeably out skilled, but each girl was doing their best and fought out a tough match.

The girls wish to acknowledge the solid game the C grade Bombshells played.

On the other court we saw a great match between the B grade sides.

Frankston’s first centre pass was quickly turned over, sparking hope and spirit among the Blues B Grade.

They were playing a half flu-filled side and were also short a couple of girls due to birthday celebrations and others due to illness.

Focus points of training could be noticed in our game on the weekend, which makes from exciting progress for our B Grade girls.

A combination of discipline in

bringing the ball down the court and match fitness, especially visible in the last quarter, were what let us down overall.

The girls are excited, though, to continue closing the scoring gap each week.

A special mention to Amy Goodacre for her high intensity, unforgiving work in the defence.

Lastly, a quick plug for our Mid Year Gala Ball.

There were three goals in the final four minutes of Saturday’s top-ofthe-table State 2 South-East clash between home team Peninsula Strikers and Old Scotch which ended in a 3-3 draw.

Strikers senior coach Craig Lewis and assistant Billy Buchanan refused to be interviewed after this seesawing goal fest in which Strikers blew a two-goal lead and threw away the points in the final minutes.

Strikers’ scorers were Ali Osmani (38th minute), Paul Presti (55th) and Trevor Johnson (91st).

Old Scotch’s scorers were John Beamish (penalty 60th), Peter Massarany (89th) and Adem Awal (93rd).

The State 2 South-East clash between Beaumaris and visitor Seaford United turned into a rout with the home team winning 6-0.

The result leaves Seaford with just one goal to its name this season and 11 against.

Skye United’s promotion push in State 4 South gathered pace with Saturday’s 3-0 home win over Har-

Opposing keepers Jonathan Crook (Skye) and Paul Seeley stole the show in the first half.

Crook made two fine reflex saves in the opening 30 minutes and Seeley matched him in the 40th minute denying Matthew Wilson from close range.

But a minute before the break Seeley charged off his line to try and punch clear and didn’t get there in time to stop Wilson heading into the unguarded goal.

Early in the second half Skye grabbed a two-goal cushion.

By Craig MacKenzie MORNINGTON continued its recent success against Langwarrin with a 2-1 win in their Anzac clash at Dallas Brooks Park on Sunday.

Mornington struck in the 5th minute when livewire striker Wayne Gordon stole in behind the Langy defence and toe-poked the ball past teenage goalkeeper James Foster who was deputising for the injured Robbie Acs. The simmering feud between these fierce local rivals burst into open conflict with a melee in the 33rd minute sparked by a tackle involving Mornington midfielder Paul McEvoy and Langy defender Alex Van Heerwarden.

McEvoy was shown a straight red card and referee Hary Milas later confirmed that the send-off was for serious foul play in the form of a twofooted tackle.

Langwarrin midfielder Sam Scott also was sent off after retaliating during the melee and receiving a second yellow card.

In the 65th minute Langy striker Caleb Nicholes was brought down inside the box and converted the resulting penalty to make it 1-1.

Gordon was thwarted by a superb save by Foster in the 75th minute but the teenager was helpless when Andy McIntyre scored an own goal in the 86th minute while attempting to clear.

Straight from the restart Mornington keeper Kris McEvoy was forced into a fine save by Langy midfielder Boris Ovcin and two minutes later a Nicholes free-kick was destined for the top corner until McEvoy at full stretch tipped it wide.

Frankston Pines lost its State 1 South-East home clash with Warragul United 4-1 on Saturday.

Pines took the lead in the 12th minute when Kyle Crawford’s cross from the right found Nick Lekakis whose shot was parried by Warragul keeper Jake Richardson and tapped in by CJ Hodgson.

Four minutes later scorers were level when Pines keeper James Laminski charged off his line but only succeeded in hammering the ball into Warragul striker Liam Johnston who ran onto the ricochet and knocked it into the open goal.

Just before half-time Lekakis was pressured off the ball which was slotted in between Pines’ central defenders for Sam O’Dea to run onto and slip past Laminski to make it 2-1.

Johnson got his second from the penalty spot in the 75th minute and O’Dea’s double came in the 91st

on to the far post by Marcus Collier where Dogan Dagli had the simple task of heading in from point blank range.

The visitors would have clawed their way back into the contest if not for the agility of Crook who tipped over a stinging volley from Nicholas Corsini in the 87th minute.

Two minutes later Wilson’s firm header struck the underside of the bar and was cleared but a superb solo run by substitute Daniel Attard in the 92nd minute was rewarded when he squared the ball to fellow sub Christopher Busuttil for a tap-in.

Rosebud Heart inflicted a first defeat of the league season on Old Mentonians on Saturday.

The 3-0 away win took Scott Morrison’s men to the top of State 5 South and threw the gauntlet down to neighbouring Baxter in second place.

Baxter had a bye after Parkmore dropped out of the competition and a rescheduling of fixtures took place.

Heart opened its account against Old Mentonians in spectacular style courtesy of a 25-metre screamer from the lethal left foot of Blake Hicks.

Goalscoring guru Dave Greening was brought down inside the area in the 42nd minute and converted the resultant penalty.

Greening headed against the bar shortly after then new signing Craig White was brought down for what looked like a second penalty before the interval but Heart’s appeals fell on deaf ears.

Englishman White could prove to be a clutch signing. The 24-year-old attacking midfielder joined Heart last week from Essendon United and had a fine match.

James Liddle’s volley from the edge of the area in the 62nd minute was the final nail in Old Mentonians’ coffin but there were two send-offs in the second stanza, both straight reds – Heart’s Daniel Hodge in the 65th minute and Old Mentonians’ Dylan Taylor in the 89th minute.

ROUND 5 FIXTURES Saturday, 30 April, 3pm: Langwarrin v South Springvale (Lawton Park), Morwell Pegasus v Mornington (Ronald Reserve), Seaford Utd v Caulfield Utd Cobras (North Seaford Reserve), Peninsula Strikers v Doveton (Centenary Park), Dandenong South v Skye Utd (Fotheringham Reserve), Baxter v Chelsea (Baxter Park), Rosebud Heart bye.

Saturday, 30 April, 7pm: Berwick City v Frankston Pines (Jack Thomas Reserve).
