All on same page for literacy week THE Big Read was a good way to kick off Literacy Week at Hastings Primary School yesterday.

About 270 people sat down with a book in the Angling building and read for 10 minutes. The day was such a success it is sure to become an annual event.

“The best bit was having my family come and read with me,” Shengsiang, of Prep C, said.

The week’s activities aimed to enthuse pupils - and their parents about the joys of reading and writing.

Read all about it: The Harwood family attended the opening of Literacy Week at Hastings Primary and enjoyed taking part in the big group read. From left, Marcus, 7, mum Bobby, sister Stephanie, 10, and dad Scott.

Red Hill gets a voice Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au TIM Wood, navy commander, Queens Counsel, retired County Court judge, has won the Red Hill ward byelection.

When counting ended on Saturday night Mr Wood had nearly 55 per cent of eligible votes after preferences were distributed from the record 17 candidates seeking a seat on Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

On Sunday he told The News he wanted to hear the views and represent all community groups within the

ward – “I’ve identified more than 20 already”.

Mr Wood said he was ready to begin duties as a councillor this week, despite indications that the shire “management” wanted him first to undergo an induction period.

“I don’t there’s anything they can tell me about meetings and procedures or councillor conduct,” he said, holding up various shire publications while sitting at the dining table of his Shoreham home.

Mr Wood was ready to take his own Bible to Monday’s declaration of the

poll at the shire’s Rosebud offices to show CEO Michael Kennedy that he was ready to take the oath of office.

While stressing that he wanted to be “collegiate” with his fellow councillors, Mr Wood said it was obvious Red Hill ward had “been without a voice” both before and since the May resignation of former councillor Frank Martin.

He was ready to participate in Monday night’s meeting so that Red Hill’s 12,500 ratepayers were not denied a voice “for another two weeks”. (See Page 15) That voice seems likely be added

to the minority of councillors speaking out against the shire spending $40 million or more on the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the foreshore at Rosebud.

A “believer” in community recreational facilities, Mr Wood said he “can’t see the justification in spending $40 million when there are other things calling out for attention”.

“SPA should be reviewed comprehensively,” he said. The shire last week added four sets of architects’ drawings for the SPA to its website. (See Page 17).

Mr Wood said the issue most men-

tioned by residents during his election campaign had been “the standard of roads. It’s the most complained about issue”.

“But, overridingly, people are concerned about not being listened to.

They’re peed off.”

Unable to attend the count because of a previous speaking engagement at the naval association sub-branch in Frankston, Mr Wood said three people at the meeting approached him – “knowing I was a candidate” – saying things were “crook” at council.

Groups unite in stand against family violence Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au A GROUP of Mornington Peninsula churches has forged an alliance with community support organisations to take a united stand against family violence and other pressing social issues.

Alarmed by the growing prevalence of domestic violence within the community, especially in the wake of the shocking murder of Tyabb schoolboy Luke Batty by his father earlier this year, church and community leaders agreed a united response was required.

The multi-denominational partnership led to the recent foundation of Peninsula Voice, a nonprofit community organisation dedicated to tackling pressing social issues and building greater community cohesion.

Peninsula Voice is now calling on the broader community to come together and help tackle “the big issues� that threaten our safety, prosperity and well-being.

The initial focus of the collective effort is family violence, with the first in an ongoing series of public forums to held next month in Mornington.

Police Commissioner Ken Lay has already thrown his support behind the initiative and will address the forum at Peninsula Community Theatre, Mornington, on 16 September as one of a number of high-profile speakers.

Joining him will be Rosie Batty, the mother of Luke, who has won nationwide admiration and acclaim for her efforts to raise awareness of domestic violence and the need for systemic reform in the treatment and protection of victims.

Other confirmed participants include Domestic Violence Victoria chief executive Fiona McCormack, and the acting head of Men’s Referral Ser-

vice and No To Violence, Rodney Vlais.

Peninsula Voice chairman Peter Orton said the organisation aimed to engage the skills and resources of the broader community to tackle major social issues that haven’t received adequate attention from traditional mainstream outlets such as the media and politicians.

Other issues set to be addressed in community forums include growing inequality and poverty within the community, the treatment of asylum seekers, the drug scourge, and chronic youth unemployment.

The forums will provide an opportunity for the community to come together and “engage in a conversation on topics which the 24-hour media circus simply does not address with any depth�, Mr Orton said. “Peninsula Voice believes the quality and strength of a community can be measured by how it cares for and supports its most vulnerable members,� he said. “Accordingly, these public forums are designed to build social capital as a means of helping the community, as a whole, better cope with life’s varied challenges.�

The forums would provide “evidence-based information, personal testimony, open discussion, and access to appropriate agencies on relevant topics within the broader community�.

Invitations for upcoming forums would be extended to state, national and internationally recognised speakers from diverse backgrounds, to present their professional research and experience in order to promote conversation and engagement on important community development series. “The topics will be for the benefit of community education, awareness, and advocacy on public policy, social justice, ethics, wellbeing and health in all its forms,� Mr Orton said.

A century of Being Prepared TYABB scouts are celebrating 100 years of jamborees, activities, camps, badges, excursions and just having fun – much of it from their Frankston-Flinders Rd base.

As the Mornington Peninsula’s first troop, they formed only seven years after Sir Robert BadenPowell launched the world-wide movement with a camp in Dorset, England in 1907.

Reports at the time said calls to join the local troop were “taken up enthusiastically by the lads

This was an idea right for its time, with the Boer War still a talking point, the nation about to mobilise for the Great War and the Mother Country still “home� to many Colonials. They identified with the cause, camaraderie, ideals of self-sufficiency - and loyalty to the Queen.

“Being a councillor is a big job and I have no illusions I can do it all by myself without people telling me of their concerns,” Mr Wood said.

“I will hear their concerns and speak to other councillors.

I don’t want to be seen as a prisoner to one particular group [within council].”

Mr Wood likened the finding of consensus within council to the process followed by a jury towards making a unanimous decision.

A former naval commodore, Mr Wood’s election means there are now two councillors with legal backgrounds (Cr Hugh Fraser is a barrister) and two councillors with naval backgrounds (Cr David Garnock was a captain).

Mr Wood is also no stranger to planning issues, having specialised in planning and construction while a barrister and helping with the formation of VCAT (Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal) in 1988, where he remained until 2001.

He joined the Royal Australian Navy as a lawyer for four years in 1970 and remains active in the Naval Reserve.

“There’s an association motto, ̔Once navy, always navy’,” he says. In 2006 he was appointed Deputy Judge Advocate General Navy, a position he held for two and a half years.

While no longer able to hand out sentences, the former judge turned councillor is sure to have a judicious approach to arguments being put forward by his fellow councillors, and constituents.

Armed gang hits five servos

Vehicles destroyed in fiery rampage

Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au

ELEVEN vehicles were set alight during a fiery rampage across Western Port, Frankston and Casey on Sunday night.

Two men in a late model V8 vehicle are believed to have used a blowtorch to ignite cars and trucks during a two-hour cross town vandalism spree, causing more than $100,000 damage in the process.

The seemingly random arson attacks began about 10pm in Station St, Baxter, when a car parked on the nature strip was set alight.

Soon afterwards, a truck in Railway Crescent, Hastings was targeted.

A witness told police they saw a white late model Holden or Ford sedan pull up beside the truck, before one of the occupants smashed the passenger’s side window and used a blowtorch to set the seat alight.

The truck, owned by a glass company and valued at more than $20,000, was destroyed as flames tore through the interior.

The vandals then moved on to Frankston, where a car in Karingal Drive was set alight about 10.30pm.

Soon afterwards, eight vehicles across the Casey region were targetted, apparently by the same means.

Leading Senior Constable Nick Sweetman, of Hastings crime investigation unit, said the rampage appeared to be a random act of senseless vandalism.

“There are a lot of very angry people across the area today who now don’t have a vehicle to drive,” he said. “There’s no apparent connection between any of the incidents and it would appear to be a senseless act.

“It’s especially harsh in the case of the owner of the truck in Hastings – it was his business, so this will have hit him hard.

“We can only hope that we catch the people responsible, so we’re asking anyone who might have seen anything to contact Hastings police (5970 7850) or Crime Stoppers (1800 333 000).”

A GANG of armed bandits involved in the robbery of a Crib Point service station is believed to be responsible for a further four holdups committed across bayside and peninsula suburbs this month.

Police fear three men using large knives to threaten service station staff during holdups between Black Rock and Hastings will strike again unless caught quickly.

At least five service stations have been held up at knife point so far this month, with the balaclava-clad bandits stealing cash and cigarettes before fleeing to an awaiting early model Holden Commodore sedan in each incident.

Frankston armed robbery squad detectives said the crime spree began on Sunday 3 August when a Caltex service station on Thompsons Rd, Patterson Lakes, was robbed.

Two men entered the store about 8.30pm then jumped the counter into the sales booth where they threatened the attendant with knives.

They raided the till and removed a large quantity of cigarettes before fleeing to an awaiting car believed to have been driven by a third man.

Three days later, on 6 August, a United service station in Marine Parade, Hastings, was robbed at knife-point, this time by three men all wearing balaclavas.

The men stormed into the sales area about 7pm, with two of them jumping the counter and threatening the attendant with knives before removing cigarettes and cash.

Two days later, on 8 August, a 7 Eleven store in Balcombe Rd, Black Rock, was robbed about 10.40pm by three men fitting the same description.

On Wednesday 13 August, two balaclava-clad bandits raided a United service station at the corner of Stony Point Rd and Disney St in Crib Point about 8.15pm.

Crime spree: Police released images from CCTV footage of three men involved in a spate of armed robberies. A Holden Commodore similar to the one pictured above was used in each of the holdups.

On this occasion, one of the men armed jumped the counter and confronted sales attendant while the second man entered the booth via an unlocked side door, pushing a knife against the cashier’s back and telling him: “We won’t hurt you, just give us all the cash and smokes.”

The same service station was burgled five days later when thieves smashed their way through a side wall, however, police said it was not known if the incident was related to the armed robberies.

On Sunday 17 August, two men held up a service station in Davey St, Frankston, just before 9pm. Again, the console operator was threatened

with knives before cash and cigarettes were stolen.

Police investigating the holdups fear someone could be hurt unless the bandits are caught.

Detective Sergeant Al Hanson from the Frankston crime investigation unit, said the level of violence used could quickly escalate, especially if the gang’s demands were resisted or someone interrupted them during a holdup.

Anyone recognising the men from the CCTV footage or has seen a vehicle similar to the one picture above is asked to Frankston crime investigation unit on 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Beacon of hope for school leavers ADAM Smith, of the not-for-profit Education Foundation Australia, spoke to Western Port Secondary College students last week about his education, career evolution and how they can turn their desires and dreams into successful futures.

A passionate advocate for young people, Smith has generated more than $20 million in philanthropic and corporate investment for schools. In 2009 he was named Young Executive of the Year by BOSS Magazine.

He is a board member of the Australian Council for Educational Research, a regular education analyst for Channel 10â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Project, and a columnist at the Australian Financial Review.

This week he joined the Year 10 cohort along with their parents, employers and Beacon Foundation staff to celebrate the 10th annual Beacon Charter Signing.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all part of the Bright Futures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; No Dole program which aims to offer a wide range of options

to support school leavers into the workforce, and to forge links between young people and the local community.

Western Port Secondary College is an example of why the Beacon Foundation exists â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to harness community involvement and work with schools to ensure young people are either earning or learning at vulnerable transition points in their lives.

Battle’s on after ‘alarm bells’ signal a silent enemy Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE alarm bells started to ring when a “shakey arm” prompted Hastings resident Helen Legg to visit her doctor, who referred her to a neurologist.

Tests confirmed the worst: Parkinson’s disease.

That was in May 2011 and other symptoms have been prominent ever since, such as the vivid dreams she “acts out” causing sleep deprivation and making her overtired the next day.

Now a “good regime of drugs and anti-depressants” is keeping the symptoms at bay and allowing Mrs Legg, 58, to retain some semblance of a normal life.

Next weekend, she will take a positive stance against the condition by joining others affected and their families in a Walk in the Park charity event on Sunday morning hosted by Parkinson’s Victoria.

Participants will walk four kilometres from Federation Square along the banks of the Yarra River and back. Organisers are aiming to raise $170,000 to raise awareness of the disease and fund services and research to make life better for those living with it.

Parkinson’s disease is an as yet incurable neurological disorder which forces sufferers to struggle to control body movements.

The symptoms grow worse over time but body shakes, stiffness and a lack of coordination can be mitigated by medication to partially restore dopamine depletion in the brain. There is no known cause for the disease.

“It has certainly changed my life,” Mrs Legg said this week. “I try to be social and get out and about but it can be depressing.”

Mrs Legg said the unwelcome diagnosis caused her to reassess her life.

“You don’t know what you will be capable of in a few years,” she said.

“Would my dreams of travel even be possible?”

It was a case of doing things “now or never” that prompted her, and husband Wally, to visit China and Papua New Guinea and, soon, to tackle a three-day, two-night trek near Queenstown in New Zealand.

“It’s fortunate that I have always exercised, which helps keep the symptoms at bay,” she said. “And it is going to help make the trek easier.”

Mrs Legg thanked her friends at Peninsula Parklands for “keeping me motivated”.

As well as the walk, she is raising money from the community to fight the disease. “Last year, when I was still working, I raised $3000 and this year I’m almost at $1000,” she said.

It’s a positive outlook like this that will help her win the fight.

Visit parkinsonswalk.com.au for details of the Walk in the Park.

Life’s for living: Helen Legg won’t let Parkinson’s disease take over her life.

NEWS DESK Artistry in the box THE humble pizza box will rise to new artistic heights next week in Oak Hill Gallery’s Pizza Box challenge.

It is all part of the Hasting’s gallery’s efforts to raise public awareness of itself – as a not-for profit charity - and the town’s “arts precinct”.

And local arts enthusiasts are rising to the challenge, with gallery director Yvonne Watson reporting that “50 or 60” pizza boxes had already been collected to be made into art works with more likely to go out in the lead up to the judging on Friday 5 September.

Those participating will design and create art works such as collages, sculptures or paintings inside the boxes which will then be assessed and hung for display at the gallery at 3/145 Salmon St. The first prize is a $100 voucher from Southern Buoy arts supplies.

The gallery is part of the Pop Up Hastings – Renew Hastings Project which aims to bring new life to the bottom end of town.

“This is a chance for local artists to flex their artistic muscles with any creation that fits inside a pizza box,” Ms Watson said.

“It is intended to be fun, and also an opportunity to create artworks within unique design parameters.

Let’s make art interesting and entertain Hastings!”

Those attending the Pizza Box Challenge judging, from 6-8pm, will be able to enjoy a drink and – you guessed it – eat pizza. Entry is adults $15, concession $10, and secondary/primary students $5.

Footy shows Yabbies some love AFL great Gary Lyon brought some “tough love” to Tyabb Junior Football Club last week, helping put smiles on the faces of the young team mates of murdered schoolboy Luke Batty.

Hundreds of eager young footballers and their families flocked to Bunguyan Reserve – the home of the Tyabb Yabbies where Luke used to play football – to greet the Footy Show host as he unveil a special $10,000 renovation of the club change rooms last Tuesday.

The renovation was carried out by the Nissan Navara Tough Love team and was screened on last week’s eposide of the Footy Show.

Lyon said the club had been chosen from among hundreds of applicants to receive a “helping hand”

from the Tough Love team.

“TJFC is a small club struggling for numbers and the spruce up is hoped will encourage kids and families to come back and help rejuvenate the club,” Lyon said.

“The club suffered the unthinkable when one of their members, Luke Batty, was tragically killed earlier this year so this is just a small gesture on our part to give something back to the club.

“Sporting clubs really are the heart of any community so it’s important we all do what we can to make sure the kids have somewhere they can come to enjoy not only football or netball, but the social opportunities they provide.”

Reprieve for portable CRIB Point Primary School has won a reprieve for a portable classroom that was to be relocated to Werribee but which will now be staying â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least until the end of the year.

It had appeared the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only prep class, which was using the portable, would have to move into the library for term four, with other school areas being reshuffled to suit the new arrangement.

The move was supposed to occur by the end of term two but this was later extended to term three.

Losing the 25-year-old and â&#x20AC;&#x153;well and truly establishedâ&#x20AC;? portable would have been bad enough, but the mayhem caused by its removal would impact the school severely. It is in the middle of established trees, behind a sandpit and a beside a sustainability centre named after Glenda Watson, the mother of a school parent, who passed away

last year.

Community support for the portableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retention may have swayed the Education Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand. A well supported campaign â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including 85 signatures on a petition at Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk bar in Crib Point â&#x20AC;&#x201C; asked that the removal be delayed until the end of the year or not proceed at all.

School council president Raelene McCracken said she wrote to the department urging it to reconsider the relocation, with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fall-back positionâ&#x20AC;? being to wait until the end of the year.

She said an appeal to Hastings MP Neale Burgess had paid dividends. He contacted Education Minister and MP for Finders Martin Dixon and the news, for now, positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not had anything in writing yet and until then we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sure, but it looks like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staying,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would have been a lot of drama getting it out.â&#x20AC;?

Search for favourite citizen IF you know someone whose efforts in the community should be recognised, or if you have been to a community event that you really enjoyed, then you are welcome to nominate them for the 2015 Australia Day Awards.

The three categories are Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year and Community Event of the Year.

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Antonella Celi said the awards recognised people and events that have made a significant contribution to the local community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really lucky to have so many wonderful people and events that help make the Mornington Peninsula the special place that it is,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recognising someone can make a difference and one nomination is all it takes to shine a light on a member of our community or a community

event you really admire. Nominate a friend, family member, school mate, community leader or any person or community event you like â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nominations are easy and now available online. Help us give some recognition to these real gems in our community.â&#x20AC;?

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winners were Leading Senior Constable Mick Mears - Citizen of the Year, Timothy Thomaidis - Young Citizen of the Year and Hastings Community House World Record Snake Day - Community Event of the Year Award.

Winners of the awards will be announced at the Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony on January 26.

NEWS DESK Prostate support THE Mornington Peninsula will be one of 14 locations across the country to receive a specialist prostate cancer nurse to provide support for patients, their families and carers.

This will result in improved access to multidisciplinary specialists and services, continuity of care for prostate cancer patients throughout their cancer journey, and coordination of care from a prostate cancer diagnosis onwards.

MP for Dunkley Bruce Billson said prostate cancer nurses were specially trained, registered nurses who would provide information, care and support to men with prostate cancer and their families and carers, within a multidisciplinary health care team.

“They form a crucial central point of contact for patients, their families and carers by coordinating access to care and services such as physiotherapy and counselling,” he said.

Minister for Health Peter Dutton said the government had committed $6.2 million to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia up until 2017 to select sites, oversee training and fund the placement of the new positions.

“The five year relative survival rate of 92 per cent for prostate cancer means there is a large group of men who have been diagnosed and treated, who are now either living with prostate cancer or who have survived treatment and its side effects,” Mr Dutton said.

“Increasing the number of specialist prostate cancer nurses means more men will have access to nurses, who will provide vital information, care, and practical and emotional support to men diagnosed with prostate cancer, their families and carers.

Counting time Friday 22 August Votes received until 6pm.

Saturday 23 August – polling day 8am Staff began removing identity flaps from the ballot envelopes to ensure anonymity of ballot papers.

10.30am Opening of envelopes containing ballot papers began. Obvious informal ballots (such as blanks, all squares ticked instead of being numbered) were set aside. Formal ballot papers were compiled into bundles of 50. Informals were kept as a separate batch.

2pm Under the eyes of scrutineers, formal ballot batches were given to operators, who typed voters’ preferences exactly as they appeared on ballot papers into the computer system.

The computer program alerts operators to errors such as duplicate numbers. Scrutineers can report any other errors to supervising staff, quoting the ballot batch number in which a possible error occurred.

8pm Ballot entry complete, Victorian Electoral Commission returning officer Julie Allan pressed the Calculate button to compute the election result.

A few minutes later the result was known.

In case of a tie, the computer program determines which candidate has won by performing a complex countback of the tallies of each candidate.

If two or more candidates are tied, selection of the winner is determined “in accordance with steps prescribed in legislation”, according to the VEC. The computer calculation process could be viewed as it occurred.

A printed report of the count was made available, copies being distributed to scrutineers. The report included the successful candidate and details of all exclusions and distributions.

The result was declared formally on Monday at the shire office in Besgrove St, Rosebud.

Votes on display: Candidates, wellwishers and council watchers scrutinise the poll results displayed on the wall at the Victorian Elctoral Commission’s shop at Dromana on Saturday night as a computer churns through the final count in the Red Hill ward poll, left, and VEC staff prepare summaries of the votes.

Swearing-in may face two-week delay David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au Newly elected Red Hill ward councillor Tim Wood may not be able to begin his duties until 8 September, despite Local Government Minister Tim Bull advising there was “no impediment” to him being sworn in on Monday 25 August and beginning work at that evening’s council meeting.

Red Hill ward has effectively been unrepresented since last December, when former ward councillor Frank Martin fell ill and took extended sick leave. He resigned in May. According to Cr Hugh Fraser, “Management has fixed the taking of the Oath by the person declared elected for Red Hill Ward as an item of Council business for its Monday, 8 September, 2014 Ordinary Council Meeting”.

In a Notice of Motion to be discussed at the 25 August meeting, Cr Fraser sought to have “the person declared elected as the Councillor for the Red Hill Ward … take the Oath of Office … [as] the first or such other item of business as the council determines ...”

The election result was known soon after 8pm on Saturday, 23 August, councillor-elect Wood gaining 4446 votes – nearly 55 per cent – after distribution of preferences followed by Mark Fancett (3669 votes, 45.2 per cent) and Tim Treadwell (2217 votes, 27.3 per cent).

The formal declaration of the poll was scheduled for 10am on Monday at the Rosebud shire offices.

Once that occurs, “there is no le-

gal impediment to [the winner] being sworn by the CEO Dr Michael Kennedy OAM as required by section 63, Local Government Act 1989, and taking his or her seat at the Council Meeting on Monday evening”, Cr Fraser, a barrister, said.

The response from Minister Bull came last week during a late sitting of State Parliament. Asked if Red Hill ward’s new councillor could take his or her place in time for Monday’s meeting, Mr Bull responded that no

legal impediment prevented this from occurring.

No meeting is scheduled for Monday 1 September, meaning 8 September would be the next opportunity to install the new councillor. Many in the ward are anxious for representation as soon as possible after nearly nine months of being effectively disenfranchised.

Dr Kennedy is known to favour inducting new councillors over a week or more, with comprehensive explana-

tions of their responsibilities as councillors and warnings against the pitfalls and traps of the job and the sometimes heavy penalties that councillors can incur for breaches of the Local Government Act. The last councillor to win a shire byelection was current mayor Cr Antonella Celi, who was elected to the old Truemans ward in 2010.

Ms Celi was elected on 17 July.

She was sworn in at the next council meeting, held on 26 July, declaring it “an honour and a privilege” to be a councillor, thanking her fellow councillors “for their warm welcome and helpfulness”, and concluding by calling for “three cheers for the Truemans Ward!!”

With the chamber occasionally deadlocked 5-all at recent meetings, she has had to use her casting vote a number of times. Swearing in of the Red Hill ward councillor will relieve her of that responsibility.

Cr Fraser’s notice of motion had a rocky introduction to the shire website.

Circulated on Wednesday 20 August, it first appeared the previous morning. It then disappeared early on Thursday and was reinstated on Thursday afternoon.

This election could mark a new era in shire history in a number of ways.

Perhaps depressingly, at least for aspirants in single-member wards, it is clear from this poll that expensive mail-outs to all voters is becoming a necessary strategy.

Mr Wood sent letters to all 12,509 voters, some one-third of whom are not permanent ward residents. Mark Fancett and Michael Treadwell also

did mail-outs, but culled the voter list for off-peninsula voters to reduce the number of letters and thus the cost.

The table shows how this could have influenced voters: the vote for fourth placegetter Neale Adams was substantially below Treadwell’s.

It is likely future candidates will need to establish a war chest of $10,000 to $15,000 to ensure they reach the entire electorate.

The Victorian Electoral Commission received 8115 valid votes. Informals numbered 569, coming in sixth behind Kerry Watson.

Scrutineers reported that the donkey vote – where voters mark their paper 1 to 17 sequentially up or down – were rare and that some voters, apparently taking their allocation of preferences seriously, mis-numbered papers, possibly because they referred to more than one candidate’s how to vote card.

Several other factors stand out:  The green vote was strong, with Neale Adams coming fourth and state election Greens candidate Rose Ljubicic seventh;  Non-ward residents such as Leigh Coleman, Leigh Eustace, Bryan Payne and Brian Morgan scored only a few hundred votes between them. Eustace, a former councillor, polled poorly and was heavily disadvantaged by preference allocations, as occurred when he was defeated in Briars ward in 2012.  Overall it can be argued that Red Hill ward, disenfranchised for so long, expressed frustration with the shire, judging by the number of candidates who nominated and the policies they espoused and by the candidate they ultimately backed.

LETTERS Bay destruction Victorian Labor’s plan to build a container port at Bay West in Port Phillip will result in a massive dredge of the bay, five times the volume of the 2008 dredging.

Not only will the shipping channels have to be dredged, but Port Phillip Heads would need to be deepened by at least a further two metres.

This would require the removal from the Heads of the equivalent of the entire 2008 dredge.

This massive removal of 25 million cubic metres of rock from the Heads would result in a sea level rise of about 15centimetres.

A vote for Labor in the year’s state election is a vote for an unprecedented dredge of the bay, a massive impact on the marine national park, devastation of large parts of the bay, and inundation of the bay’s shoreline, especially on the southern peninsula.

The only viable and responsible alternative is the development of the Port of Hastings with its natural deep water channels, which will mean a significant economic and employment boost for the Mornington Peninsula.

Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean

Historical port Rupert Steiner, of Balnarring, expresses concerns over the alleged negative effects that the Port of Hastings Development project could have on the region’s tourism, recreation and agricultural assets (“Preserve the bay”, Letters, The News 19/8/14).

It needs to be pointed out that the Port of Hastings has been an active port for more than 50 years and in that time handled large quantities of crude oil, gas and steel without any environmental incidents.

The new development is for container ships entering the port. Container shipping lines operate in competitive markets meaning that engine makers and shipyards are building ever more fuel economic and efficient vessels.

It also is important to remember that following the declaration of the Port of Hastings Development plan as a major project under the Major Transport Projects Facilitation Act 2009, means that the approvals process is not only rigorous, but provides for detailed studies of the area’s environmental, social ,engineering, and planning design. These studies will take three-four years to complete and provide local communities and other stakeholders with the chance to review the process and make their comments known.

Mike Lean, CEO Port of Hastings Development Authority

Foregone conclusion I challenge Mike Lean, CEO of Port of Hastings Development Authority,

to tell the public some truths.

The true depth of the shipping channel, as stated on any and every map of Western Port, is not 20 metres, but is maintained at 14 to 15m by dredging.

It is not a natural deep water port.

Just how much and where will dredging occur and where will the spoil be dumped?

Why is the government spending $110 million on assessments when, as Keith Platt reports (“Mayor blasts Labor’s new port”, The News 5/8/14), they are “to show the port is viable”?

Silly me, I thought assessments were done to see if development was viable and, if the assessments came back negative, development would not proceed.

How can the public trust any assessments done when you are operating on the assumption that the port will proceed? Western Port is Ramsar listed an international convention to conserve wetlands of great significance and to promote “wise use of the area.

How long will this beautiful bay last with at least eight huge ships a day going in and out. What about marine pests in ballast water and accidents causing oil spills? This whole ecosystem depends on the health of the mangroves and seagrass beds.

Maybe we should buy less imported junk and buy Australian, and then the ships won’t need to come at all.

Or, think about Portland, which is a deep water port with more feasible transport links.

Linda Drewitt, Balnarring

Ludicrous plan I refer to Barrie McMillan’s letter (“Biased Reports”, Letters, The News 19/8/14) and wish to respond to the bias in his letter.

Nearly 60 years ago, then Premier Henry Bolte set aside 4000 hectares of land and dubbed Hastings “the Ruhr of Victoria”. Victoria was a very different place. Western Port was almost dead from fertiliser runoff from surrounding farms. Enlightened farming practices have now seen it renew itself. Sixty years ago, the amount of carbon pollution was a great deal less than it is today.

Today, Bolte’s plan is ludicrous.

Those of us with longer memories than Mr McMillan might also recall that in 2009, when he was ports minister, Tim Pallas, told us Victoria would wither on the vine if we did not proceed with a massive new container port at Hastings. Now in opposition, Mr Pallas and his cohorts are saying Hastings is a bad idea and that we need a massive new port in Port Phillip, near Avalon.

When in opposition Mr Napthine favoured a bigger port at Geelong, not Hastings, especially for car imports and exports. Now he is gung-ho for Hastings.

This project appears to have been

justified by the Port of Melbourne which predict that container trade will quadruple by 2035, despite federal publications that predict that by 2030 national container throughput is projected to double. In other words, the Port of Melbourne can handle containers for at least the next 10-15 years.

Nowadays it seems both sides of politics pander to the corporate sector to get re-elected rather than work to represent the citizens who elect them, and neither side of politics should be trusted with our priceless environmental assets.

We do not need more ports. We do need a visionary national trade and transport strategy making use of existing deep water ports (Darwin, Brisbane) closer to our trading partners and a reinvigorated national rail and coastal shipping network, a network that will deliver goods more cost effectively across Victoria and Australia, with less pollution and more surety.

The world’s high volume container trade routes generally follow the equator, being the shortest distance to cover. Melbourne is a significant deviation for container traffic.

It is time to prepare for a very different future and we need a new economic model based on an intact environment not endless growth and the pursuit of profit, not a parochial stoush about who has got the biggest port plans.

Victoria will not return to the Stone Age if it continues to pursue these types of developments. By 2030, Victoria’s population will increase by about two million, from the current 5.6 million (ABS 2012). Just this fact alone indicates that existing ports infrastructure is adequate for years to come.

Our grandchildren and their children will thank us when they realise that, rather than contribute to carbon pollution and global warming that such an undertaking would contribute to, they will instead be able to enjoy a (relatively) clean environment.

Finally, it is refreshing that this paper’s editorial standards remain independent. Its articles are fearless, relevant to the community and free of right wing bias that is already provided by the bland local papers of the Murdoch press in the conservative and moribund Liberal held electorates right across the Mornington Peninsula.

Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

Port needed The views expressed by Angela Borelli (“Port warning”, Letters, The News 19/8/14) is a good summary of why she chooses to live on French Island where there is only one shop.

Perhaps she should occasionally shop in Mornington instead of Wonthaggi, that way she would better appreciate the difference population and disposable income in the catchment of a

shopping centre can make to a town’s prosperity.

As for Rupert Steiner (“Preserve the bay”, Letters, The News 19/8/14), to say that a new container port in Victoria is “unnecessary” just beggars belief – he is obviously not very well read on the subject. His comments regarding “agents and carpetbaggers” suddenly quoting Sir Henry Bolte also indicates that he has not been paying much attention to the debate. I have been a real estate agent for 40 years and have been quoting Sir Henry for over 30 of those years. Mr Steiner’s comment about environmental loss being in the “billions” is just pure fantasy – the environment will still be there after the port is built and to say that port development is “just for the benefit of a few very wealthy speculators and developers” is just false. I watch the property market in the port area very closely and I challenge him to prove his claim by showing me titles office records that indicate the purchase of land in the port area by even one such person.

The attempt by both your correspondents to discredit my views because I am a real estate agent shows an ignorance of what my profession does. People of my generation who have 30 to 40 years’ experience of the property market in their communities offer an invaluable service to their clients and, most of the time, it is available for free.

We also employ and train local people. According to the Business Licensing Authorities Register of Estate Agents there are 57 real estate jobs in Hastings; the same number as there already are in the new port development authority.

Real estate agents are in a privileged position. We talk to the husband and the wife during divorce, we talk to the family about selling the home they grew up in after their parents have passed away and we see the tragic results of financial distress caused by unemployment and business failure, and it is that form of hardship, so avoidable in many cases, that moves me to speak publicly about planning issues.

I could not help but notice several articles in your paper last week such as “Peninsula stands alone for planning” and the usual plethora of letters criticising the state government’s plan to build container terminals in the Port of Hastings.

The other article I noticed was “Jobs crisis deepens” where the effects of rising unemployment are lamented by no less a figure than the CEO of VCOSS Emma King.

The brotherhood of St Laurence is also warning of a “generational crisis” among unemployed youth in the region and it seems the not for profit service providers and the business community agree that “urgent govern-

ment action” is needed.

Yet when a government tries to bring about a major, sustainable, long term, employment creating project that will mean jobs on the peninsula for generations to come, they are decried from every quarter.

As stated in my previous article (“Why there are so many vacant shops in Hastings”, The News 12/8/14) everything is connected. If you constrain development and jobs you constrain the lifestyle and wellbeing of everybody in the community and the world is a very competitive place; even those who don’t want change will, at the very least, suffer a decline in services and the variety of retail goods due to a lack of population and disposable income.

For the record, according the Economic Impact Analysis of building new Container Terminals in the Port by consultants GHD and EconSearch Pty Ltd on behalf of Regional Development Victoria (a regional development group of 16 councils which incidentally, includes Bass Coast Shire) at page 9: “The development of a container port at Hastings would complement Melbourne south east’s substantial economic output and potentially increase innovation and economic activity across the region.”

A conclusion (page 42) states “. . . the economic effects of Hastingsrelated capital expenditures over the three phases (approval, construction and operation) will provide beneficial economic impacts to the Melbourne south east (region) of an average $60,000,000 per year in gross regional product over a 30-year period and an average of 400 jobs per year over the same period”.

For those who have difficulty with numbers that is an extra 12,000 jobs.

It also states the consequences of not developing Hastings (also on page 42): “As an estimated forecast, for the Victorian state economy in 2035/36, the negative impact of insufficient container port capacity will be around $2,200,000,000 ($2.2 billion) in gross state product and the loss of 4800 jobs.”

We cannot afford to listen to the naysayers. These container terminals must be built now.

While I have been writing this letter I see that the Minister for Ports has challenged his opposition counterpart to a debate on this topic in Hastings and Geelong.

The opposition is not categorically ruling out developing Hastings – it is going to form a committee to look into it. The Labor Party was in government in Victoria for 13 years and had the benefit of public service advice during that time. It already knows the answer is not Bay West, it just wants the political kudos of telling the people in the west that they are in with a chance to get these jobs; but they will go back on their word in the end.

Victory marks Hull’s 200th

By Vic Jeremiah* THE Hastings Football Club’s senior finished off their 2014 season last Saturday with a hard fought victory at home against neighbouring rivals Somerville, which had beaten the Blues rather convincingly earlier in the season.

It Hastings captain David Hull’s 200th senior game for the club, making him the second youngest player to achieve this milestone.

Hull started playing in 1984 when he began playing at junior under age level with Hastings.

In 1995, he won the Hastings under10s best and fairest award and was runner up for the same award in in 1996 for the under-12s.

Hull was again runner up for the best and fairest in 1997 and represented the MPNFL inter-league under-14s in 1998.

He reached the 100-game milestone of 100 junior games in 1999 and made captain of the inter-league side.

Further success followed 2000 when he again won the Hastings’ under-16 best and fairest award, and was made vice-captain of the under-15s interleague team.

Hull was chosen captained the under-16s Hastings team in 2001 in when they were runners-up for the premiership, he also represented the Sting-Rays and was named as captain

of the under-16s inter-league squad.

It became obvious from his many overall achievements at junior level that David Hull was destined to go on and prosper as a senior footballer.

This was proven when in the second round game of the 2002 season he was selected at 17 for his first seniors’ game. This was a remarkable effort for someone who had not first played in the under-18s.

His ability enabled him to hold his place in seniors and play in each of the season’s remaining 18 games.

Hull won the senior coaches award in 2003, having played in each of the 18 games of the year. He again played in every game of 2004 and won the club’s most improved player award.

From 2005-2011 he was firmly established as a regular and highly valued member of the club and finished fourth in the 2012 best and fairest award.

He was third in the best and fairest in 2013 and although hampered by injury at various stages in 2014 has been able to become the 13th and latest member of Hastings’ “200 Senior Games Club”.

See pictures Page 49.

Annual return of the roundabout birds IT may not look like the best of places for a home, but a traffic roundabout in Coolart Rd, Hastings, is the annual nesting site for a pair of lapwings.

Known as spur-winged plovers, the birds incubated their eggs in full view of traffic going around the Graydens Rd roundabout, which is fully illuminated all night.

The nest in no more than a shallow depression in the ground and the birds were probably lucky to avoid the shire’s mowing team.

Photographer Yanni was on hand to see three day-old chicks being shepherded across the road by their anxious and attentive parents.

One of the adult birds “challenged” the wheel of a car waiting to enter the intersection.

Police clock drunk driver at 151km/h

CFA celebrates BITTERN CFA celebrated its 70th anniversary with a dinner and awards night.

Awards were presented by CFA Chief Officer Euan Ferguson, left, to Chris Russo (20 years), Adam Carey (20 years), Audrey Zerbe (15 years) Peter Buur (15 years and National medal), Oliver Sinclair (10 years) and Shaun Hull (10 years) and Assistant Chief Officer Trevor Owen.

CFA has new captain the April biennial elections. He joined Hastings in 2006 and was elected to the position of fourth lieutenant in 2008 and second lieutenant in 2010.

Before moving to Hastings and joining the CFA, Mr Atkinson spent 21 years with the New South Wales fire and rescue service.

Role change: Colin Cook, left, has stepped as captain of Hastings CFA after a decade in the role. He is pictured with his successor, Jim Atkinson, the brigade’s former second lieutenant.

DPC140502.02

JIM Atkinson has taken over from Colin Cook as captain of Hastings CFA. Mr Cook, who held the position for 10 years, decided to step down at the end of his current term to pursue other interests. After first being a volunteer in Frankston, Mr Cook was elected to the Hastings brigade management team as second lieutenant in 1994. He became first lieutenant in 1997 and was elected captain in 2004.

Mr Atkinson was elected captain at

AN allegedly heavily intoxicated Baxter man had his car seized by police after hitting speeds of more than 150km/h on Peninsula Link last week.

A Ford Falcon was spotted by police allegedly weaving in and out of traffic while speeding along the freeway at Mt Martha about 7.30pm on Tuesday.

Rosebud highway patrol police pursued the car after clocking it at 151 km/h in a 100km/h zone.

The 40-year-old allegedly attempted to speed away from police before being stopped. He was taken back to Rosebud police station where he returned a blood alcohol reading of .154 per cent.

His vehicle was impounded under the hoon legislation and he is expected to be charged with a range of offences including conduct endangering life and resisting arrest.  A GROUP of young males is suspected of being responsible for the burglary of seven homes across the Western Port region over the weekend.

Five houses in Hastings and properties in Somerville and Crib Point were broken into during daylight robberies committed between Friday and Sunday.

In each of the burglaries, windows were smashed or doors forced to gain entry to the homes before cash, computer game consoles, iPads and other electronic devices were stolen.

Police believe all seven burglaries were linked. A group of four “young men” thought to be aged in their mid to late teens was seen loitering around near one of the break-ins.

Information to Hastings police on 5970 7850 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

100% of your fire levy goes to our fire services Last year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fire services, not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession.

100 per cent of the fire levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes firefighters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fire stations and 2,300 trucks.

Each year, Victoria’s firefighters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and grass fires, fires in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fire levy.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Live kangaroo sought for troop mascot Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE Police Magistrate will preside at the Frankston Court on 21st September next. *** WE are pleased to state that Mrs Lloyd (wife of Cr J. Lloyd) has now fully recovered from her recent severe illness. *** THE secretary of the Frankston Brass Band acknowledges with thanks the sum of £5 5s, donated by H. Masterton Esq., towards the funds of the band. *** OVER £70 has been collected at Mornington for the Patriotic Fund.

Ladies are daily employed at the shire hall making garments. The race club has donated £5 5s to the fund. *** MR P. Bailey of the Frankston Nursery, assisted by a few of the lady members, tastefully decorated the stage for the last choral concert and quite a number of complimentary remarks were heard about the pleasing effect. *** THE Frankston Brass Band will play selections on Sunday afternoon next (weather permitting) in the vicinity of the Pier, when a collection will be taken up to go towards the Patriotic Fund. It is probable that some patriotic addresses will be delivered between the numbers. *** THOSE interested in giving a farewell to our Frankston lads who have enlisted for the war, are requested to attend a meeting in the Mechanics’ Hall on Monday evening next, (after sport’s meeting) for the purpose of arranging

date, and other necessary details. *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Sport’s Club will be held on Monday evening in the Mechanics Hall at 8.15 o’clock, for the purpose of receiving annual report and balance sheet, and general. A full attendance of members is requested. *** THE dance held in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Saturday evening last, in aid of the permanent endowment of the Frankston cot in connection with the Children’s Hospital passed off very successfully. There was a good attendance and a most enjoyable time was spent dancing to the capital music supplied by Messrs Hay and Rogerson (piano and violin).

Before breaking up, a dainty supper (supplied by the ladies) was handed around, which was much appreciated.

Miss Reynolds acted as Hon Sec to the function. *** THE Lord Mayor (Alderman Heanessy) stated on Tuesday that Lieut Colonel McCay, in command of the Expeditionary Force, had said that cardigan jackets were particularly needed for the troops, and they would be appreciated on the transport vessels, Draught boards, ship quoits, and boxing gloves would enable much pleasure to be obtained on the voyage.

Gifts of vaseline or other ointments, as well as boracic acid were also required, in order to give relief where inconvenience might be experienced through much walking. ***

TO the order of various locals, Mr Garrood has in course of preparation an enlarged photo of the combined Peninsula football team, which recently played the Essendon League club at Frankston. A presentation of this framed portrait is shortly to bet made to Mr H. Masterton, of Frankston. We have seen a copy of the picture taken

by Mr H. Garrood, by flash light of the banquet held in the Mechanics’ Hall, and it is one of the best of the kind we have seen taken, being very clear and distinct. *** OUR readers are reminded of the coming fancy and poster skating carnival to be held in the Somerville Horticultural Hall, on Wednesday evening next, when trophies will be given for the best fancy dress (lady and gentleman), best poster costume (lady and gentleman), most graceful couple and best sustained character (lady and gentleman). As half the proceeds are to be devoted to the Patriotic Fund, it will also prove as an additional incentive to attend, and there will doubtless be a record attendance. *** THE 49th annual report and review of the Melbourne Ragged Boys’ Home and Seaside Home at Frankston has just been published, and shows a very satisfactory state of affairs. The receipts from all sources for the year amounted to £1368 4s 9d and the expenditure to £1362 17s 6d, leaving a small credit balance to commence this year’s operations. The number of boys dealt with during the year was 104.

The general work carried out by the

various branches of the institution, under the direction of Mr Minton, the honorary superintendent seem to be in a healthy state, and promises well for a continuance of the good work now being carried on. *** THE annual ball in connection with the Hastings I.O.R. Tent takes place on Friday next. This function has come to be looked forward to by nearly all lovers of dancing as one of the best held, and the management this year are doing their level best to sustain their reputation, therefore those who attend are assured of a capital evening’s amusement. *** IT has been suggested to us that as nearly all the troops are allowed to take a “mascot” with them on their way to give them “good luck,” it would be a nice thing to provide our boys with a kangaroo to take with them and help to remind them of their homes in sunny Australia. If one was caught and presented to them we feel sure they would feel very proud and take every care of it. *** The ladies of Frankston have made up and forwarded the following articles for the use of the soldiers :- 72 gross safety pins (donated), 25 under flannels, 3 flannelette undershirts, 11 flannel bed shirts, 10 flannette bed shirts, 15 flannette shirts, 35 bandages, 64 slings. *** Mr L. T Malcolm, of Frankston, has been appointed Seargent in the B Squad, 4th Light Horse.

*** TO THE EDITOR. Sir, Kindly spare me space in your columns to make a remark on the attitude shown by some of the laborites last Thursday evening at Crib Point, when Mr Turnbull was speaking in the Liberals’ interest.

From the beginning of the meeting it was very evident thatt they didn’t intend to let the gentleman speak, as every time he started some ignorant person would interject and block those who did wish to hear him from doing so.

I happened to be a visitor to Crib Point, and expected when I went to the meeting that Mr Turnbull would be allowed to speak without any interjecting, but to my surprise some of those present did not act like Britishers at all.

I also happened to be staying in Hastings on the next evening, when Mr J. K. McDougall, the Labor candidate, was speaking, and of course went to hear him.

Both the Liberal and Labor supporters were well represented, but the Liberals did not interject while he was speaking. but did what men should do -sit still and hear what they have to say, even if they don’t agree with all that is being said. Hoping that the next time I visit a meeting of the kind at Crib Point, the Laborites will behave in a more manly manner. Thanking you for your valuable space. Yours, etc, AGENT DISGUSTED. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 29 August 1914.

Spring into health and happiness

YMCA Somerville has launched a push to encourage every member of the local community to improve their health and fitness this spring.

The colder months of winter often results in a less active lifestyle for many and that can lead to weight gain.

Research has shown this can lead to associated health problems and YMCA Victoria has recognised these issues and acted by making it easier to access the Grant Road health and fitness facility.

For a limited time, there will be $0 joining fee when a new member commits and joins the centre with the aim of creating a positive lifestyle change.

Centre manager Jessica O’Halloran said the motivation was to have a two-way commitment that resulted in people becoming healthier, happier and more active.

“Research has shown that regular exercise

is a proven way to improve mental health, lose weight, reduce stress and help prevent and manage chronic health conditions. We are committed to helping our members achieve the changes they are aiming for,” she said.

Mrs O’Halloran said that new members would access the benefits of a complete health and fitness facility including a professionally appointed gym, a large range of group fitness classes and a heated indoor pool.

“We have friendly and trained staff on hand at all times to assist and advise our members - a significant point of difference from other gyms in the area.”

To find out more about the advantages of joining YMCA Somerville call 5977 7711 or go to www.somerville.ymca.org.au. The $0 joining fee offer ends 8 September 2014.

Ready to go. Ready to tow!

Ready to tow, ready to go DO I need a solar panel? This often asked question, begs another question and that is “How much power are you using when the caravan is not hooked up to a 240V outlet?

If you have your caravan in storage for the better part of the year and it is drawing some power then the answer is – Yes. If your caravan is under cover such as a carport, shed, garage or has a caravan cover then what is the use!

If the caravan is in the open, then it is a good idea to fit a solar panel because this unit will keep your battery charged and in good condition, because you will invariably have some battery drain if left unattended and a replacement gel, deep cycle, battery will set you back up to $350.00.

A solar panel would need to be from 90w to 200w depending on the amount of use the battery has and also how long between being used the caravan has spent.

A 90w will just keep the battery charged

whereas a 200w will charge it quicker if you are free camping, but don’t expect the battery to do the impossible and then be charged over the next day of sunshine because that might not happen.

A solar panel such as a 200w will put about 3-5amps into the batter per hour, so it would take a fair while to charge up a battery from 10v up to 13v, just like a trickle charge on a battery charger.

We have now obtained a supplier and can fit a 200w to your caravan with regulator and wiring from $850.00, so long as you have a battery fitted.

Confessions of a closet hoarder

By Stuart McCullough WHEN you get down to it, what chance did I have? There are those for whom everything is in its right place.

It’s hole-punched and filed away – alphabetically, chronologically or under the Dewey Decimal system. Theirs is a life that is uncluttered, uncomplicated and (truth be told) wholly uninteresting. Then there are those of us who, in technical terms, have a lot of stuff. To the uninitiated, it’s mostly rubbish. In truth, this dazzling galaxy of objects consists of mementos, artifacts and souvenirs of a life lived to the full. If I’m being honest though, I don’t just collect a few things along the way. I am a snowball careening down a mountainside, gathering pace and growing ever larger. There’s no point denying it any longer. My name is Stuart McCullough and I am a hoarder.

Frankly, this was my destiny. To try and deny it would be to defy the natural laws of the universe. It was preordained that I should be a hoarder because my father before me was (and remains) a resolute hoarder of near unimaginable dimensions. My hoarding proclivities are naturally curbed somewhat by a lack of space.

In contrast, my father has twenty acres and can let his instincts run ‘free range’. He has kept everything.

And of all the things that he has retained over decades, much of it resides in the shed.

When I was six years old, I broke my leg. The short story is that I fell out of a tree whilst attempting to fly.

I have retained a spectacular respect for gravity ever since. The break was pretty bad and I was in plaster from my ankles right up to my hips. For months, I was a prisoner trapped in a plaster cell. To get around, I had to lie front side down on a trolley and roll across the slate. Carpet was terrain that was too tough to handle and I resorted to yelling at my siblings to

fetch things. They may claim that, plaster or not, I never really stopped.

It used to be that when in plaster, people would sign your cast. For a period, I was pretty much considered the town mutant and many of my classmates were driven out to gaze upon my hideous visage. This humiliation was especially acute given the design of the cast itself. Whilst it

stretched from hip to ankle, it had large holes cut out in the front and the back. For modesty’s sake, a pair of oversized underpants was placed over the top of the cast. It was beyond humiliating.

Question: what’s worse than being stuck in a plaster cast and having to move yourself around on a trolley?

Answer: being stuck in a plaster cast and moving around on a trolley whilst wearing a gigantic pair of Reg Grundys. One of my classmates summed it up best. Upon sighting my repulsive countenance and extensive plaster cast, he shook his head and simply said: “This was always going to happen.” Why he held this view was never explained but it was an observation that would haunt me for years to come. It was, in fact, the first time I was ever typecast. Or, to be strictly accurate, type plaster cast.

Given the considerable acreage, all visitors were asked to sign the plaster. Upon reflection, this was a monumental act of cruelty. Signing a card is all right. Putting John Hancock in a book can be a sign of respect. But to sign a cast is simply drawing unnecessary attention to a defect. Frankly, it felt like people were rubbing it in. Regardless of any objection, my cast was soon home to an array of drawings and get-well messages. When I was finally cut free of my plaster chains, it was like being liberated. I was allowed to keep the remains. Goodness knows why. It is enough to say that when I moved out of home, the plaster cast was one of

many things I left behind. It sits in my father’s shed, hanging from the roof.

After thirty years, I’m prepared to call it – I doubt my old plaster cast will be of any further use. It has, I suspect, long since served its purpose.

My father, on the other hand, is not yet ready to let it go. I can only guess how he might still plan to press it into service. Christmas tree decoration? Spring carnival hat? A warning to others who might secretly harbour a desire to throw themselves from a tree in the hope they might fly?

Maybe all of the above.

It’s not the only object from my childhood that has been jealously preserved. There are the rocks I collected between the ages of eight and twelve after which time I lost interest, much as I had done with stamps, coins and football cards before them. There’s the pottery I made that is so ugly it’s pretty much the Elephant Man of the ceramic world. I’m not sure what drives him to hang on to all that stuff. Maybe it invokes another time.

Perhaps he hopes to curate an exhibition and is simply waiting for me to do something remotely noteworthy.

It probably doesn’t matter. Whether physical or not, we all collect things over time. They are part of who we are. They also remind us where we’ve come from. Items like my plaster cast shouldn’t be discarded. They should be celebrated and, if practical, mounted for future generations to admire. When it comes to my plaster cast, I plan to do exactly that. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Performance IN a classic case of “When the going gets tough … the tough get creative”, Allan Caswell has taken his brand new album Sometimes When You Lose You Win from the initial concept to being up on iTunes in barely a month.

“It was an idea that my wife Marian and Roger Corbett cooked up as a fundraiser for my appeal in my lawsuit against Sony,” Caswell said.

“Marian wrote the title track with me, organised the cover art, helped me select the songs and generally coordinated the whole thing. They’re my songs but in many ways this album is as much Roger’s vision as it is mine … he played most of the instruments (with help from Ben Corbett, Dave Skinner and Damien Odell) and each song was given its own sound and approach”.

Caswell failed to convince a NSW judge last month that his Prisoner TV show theme, 1979’s On The Inside, had been “ripped off” by the US band Alabama for their Christmas in Dixie song in 2003.

The album features the Christmas in Dixie On The Inside Medley, which has enjoyed a great deal of exposure on radio and YouTube and a couple of other songs pertinent to the Sony case.

It is a more alt-country departure from his recent classic country outings. The overall feel is very “up”, anger is expressed in humour and lyrically and musically it is among Caswell’s very best work.

Caswell’s co-writers on Sometimes When You Lose You Win are Marian Caswell on the title track, Mt Eliza singer/songwriter, Lachlan Bryan (Really Stupid People and A Little Weird Round Here) Dave Skinner (Life Can Be a Problem to the Working Man) and Drew McAlister (Your Memory Don’t Live Here Any More).

The rest are all Caswell originals.

The CD version of Sometimes When You Lose You Win will be available in a little over a week’s time via sales@ allancaswell.com and through The Songwriters Fighting Fund Facebook site. All profits go to funding the legal appeal including the iTunes down-

da Lambert and more.

His music career spans more than 30 years and includes 60 no.1 singles, more than any other artist in any genre; and boasts 33 platinum albums, more than any country artist and third across all genres behind only The Beatles and Elvis Presley. Strait is the only act in history to have a Top 10 hit every single year for over three decades. Strait has sold more than 68.5 million albums and has earned more than 60 major entertainment industry awards including most recent Entertainer of the Year at both the CMA awards (2013) and ACMA awards (2014) Songs included Fool Hearted Memory, Marina Del Ray, Cowboys Like Us, Troubadour, Jackson, The Cowboy Rides Away and more. www. georgestrait.com loads. www.allancaswell.com *** MELBOURNE 70s rockers Taste have announced that they have remastered tracks from their albums Tickle Your Fancy and Nights of Love to be available on CD for the very first time next month.

The two albums will be combined to give the greatest hits album The Best of Taste. Tracks included are Boys Will Be Boys, Tickle Your Fancy, Little Romance and my favourite Rock’n’Roll Superstar.

Taste guitarist/singer Ken Murdoch said: “A new album is planned with all the original members and a concert.

This is an exciting project for the band and we are excited that the YouTube clip of Tickle Your Fancy has had more than 23,000 hits”.

Taste evolved out of a band called Cloud Nine formed by Ken Mur-

doch and Michael Gemini in 1970.

Joey Amenta later joined the group and Taste was born. They had a Top 40 chart hit in 1976 with Tickle Your Fancy (Bootleg) followed by the Top 20 hit Boys Will Be Boys. www.taste-music.com ken@kenmurdoch.com

is remade using powerful artificial limbs and becomes superhuman. It was a popular science fiction series which injected love interest by later spinning off The Bionic Woman (Lindsay Wagner). The show starred Lee Majors and Darren McGavin.

*** IT pays to be a superhero. Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. has topped Forbe’s list of the highest paid actors, with his Avengers co-star, Australia’s Chris Hemsworth also making the top five. Downey Jr came in at no.1 with estimated earnings of $81 million.

Mark Wahlberg is negotiating to star in a movie reboot of The Six Million Dollar Man. The show ran on US TV from 1974 to 1978 and well-known filmmaker, Peter Berg (The Kingdom, Hancock, Prime Suspect) will bring it to the big screen. The movie centres on an astronaut injured in a crash and

*** COUNTRY superstar George Strait will release a new live 20 track album next month The Cowboy Rides Away: Live from AT&T Stadium (MCA) recorded live at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas to more than 105,000 fans.

The King of Country Music and reigning ACM and CMA Entertainer of the Year performed for over 1 million fans during his record breaking two year final U.S tour. Due in stores 19 September, the MCA Nashville release contains hits from his 30-plus year career and features special guests Kenny Chesney, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Faith Hill, Alan Jackson, Miran-

mine. I don’t think he had any real mates, whereas I was a best mate with not only the best footballer/cricketer at school but also on excellent terms with the best two fist fighters. Common sense? I suspect he thought I didn’t deserve my status: hopeless at sport, the major attraction to fame, and reasonably good at a few things but a master of none. He cornered me in front of the leading players group, no doubt hoping to put me in my rightful hall of infamy place. Alas, my tough friend Sonny stepped in, giving him a quick thrashing. Strange thing, resentment; likewise jealousy. *** National security reforms by way of concerns over the threat of terrorism and the retention of data for two years sounds sensible, but giving ASIO the power to hack into an innocent third party’s computer, in fact whole networks, is the big worry. “People” make these decisions, likely to backdate forever. Any less or more is excessive and dangerous. *** As kids we had the occasional yonny fights with a group of scruffy kids known as Catholics. We would scream out at them “catholic dogs jump like frogs in and out the water”. They would respond, replacing catholic for protestant. In retrospect neither group had a clue. Fortunately

all forgotten on reaching puberty in favour of females (of any religion).

Mind you, we had our suspicions of foreign females for a year or two after that. *** I was watching Cary Grant (To Catch a Thief) being served soup and quiche by his Asian housekeeper on his balcony overlooking the French Riviera. Shall I join Cary with my $70 million lottery winnings? Four bank accounts. One at $20 million for research into reversing the body clock.

Two at $20 million apiece, send off the interest monthly to family, friends, charities; one at $10 million for my daily exuberances? Have a lift built in. Top shelf computer system; write my column. Talk to the kids on Skype, argue about their urgent need for more and more money. Lost the plot of the film. No; it’s all too hard.

Stop buying tickets? No-the dream remains. A live-in Asian housekeeper? Do they have winters in France? *** ANZ Bank CEO Mike Smith and his apparent confusion with the magic word-mandate. When did the public give a mandate for pension changes, medicare costs, cuts to family benefits, education and health? If Tony tells us no pension changes, no tax cuts, a million new jobs and the like and he’s voted in with these promises

*** COUNTRY singer Aleyce Simmonds releases her new single My Life Drives Me to Drink, the 3rd single to be lifted from Aleyce’s Golden Guitar nominated album, Believe.

Featuring Mt Eliza singer/songwriter Lachlan Bryan on backing vocals, My Life Drives Me to Drink is an honest, relatable, old-school country song.

Aleyce said: “The song was written on the drive home after an afternoon of swapping life stories at the pub with friends. It is a simple song about a simple fact of life”.

The accompanying music video currently sits at no.15 on the Country Music Channel Top 50 chart. Last week, Aleyce was announced as a finalist in Best Album, Best Single and Female Artist of the Year categories at the Independent Country Music Awards of Australia. www.aleyce.com

A Grain of Salt SPRING approaches, an attempt at happiness devoid of cynicism. Difficult, but persistence being my middle name I press on. Howdy Doody boys and girls! Good, I’m glad we got that over with. Back to serious matters.

The dangers of getting old. A point of view. The gradual changeover from the excesses of youth to the excesses of seriousness. Having the soul in top gear (wowserish) despite the heavies of porn, politics, illness and religion. High morals appear to be a good thing, but surely the odd touch of debauchery can be let loose as a variable, even for health reasons? Do I choose righteousness and with it become a rotten apple? People on hand to tell you to follow the path of pure goodness (as they see it) but invariably people have their own demons.

Two pots, special occasions three, but the body complains, in control, afraid of excesses, and yet still tempted by the look of the Woolworths shiny apple. Temperance reigns, voluptuousness lingers, death is ever present and vague thoughts of eventual wisdom (advanced cynicism) set aside in dreams. Thankfully, we have Joe Hockey for comedy. *** It’s all very well to compare our present day Coalition with George Orwell’s 1984 and assume the public are buying this, but in fact the pub-

PAGE 44

lic is not buying this. The majority is buying this. Are you part of the majority? Ask yourself if you enjoy watching The Footy Show. If guilty, you clearly form part of this possibly mentally disturbed majority, and no doubt admire Andrew Bolt, Garry Lyon, James Brayshaw and Christopher Pyne? Give me a break. *** Eddie McGuire came out strongly in support of Nathan Buckley and the rebuilding gig. No surprise with the big question of the survival of some 80,000 members in 2015 and supportive justification for his changeover coaching idea. We Collingwood supporters appreciate Eddie’s efforts and will eventually forgive Buckley’s treatment of Didak and Jolly, but the crux for many of us was the dumping of Magpie royalty in Heath Shaw, first mooted by his Uncle Tony? It was never about making the finals; it was about born and bred heroes. We support our team, live in hope, but it still hurts. *** Resentment appears to start very early in life for a host of reasons not necessarily connected to poverty or bad treatment. Way back in state school we had this boy Keating who seemed to have one purpose in life: to give me a thrashing. He was from a poor family, but in fact no poorer than

aren’t they counted as mandates? Explain please Mikey mate. *** More police promised, like Teddy promised last time?...Right or wrong, Robin Williams struck me as a man with a massive inferiority complex; sad no more Robin...The players want James Hird back, but who would be game enough to say otherwise?...

Free speech is something you say provided it doesn’t upset the Government, Mayor Robert Doyle, females, aborigines, Israelis, Muslims, the AFL and ASIO...I doubt the effect of metadata on terrorism, but it will certainly cause a reduction of Facebook activities...A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself...hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond.com

Demons storm into finals NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RYE stormed its way into the Nepean League finals with a devastating display against Sorrento on Saturday at RJ Rowley Reserve.

With their season on the line, Rye needed to beat the Sharks to assure themselves a finals berth.

Had the Demons lost, old foes Rosebud would have grabbed their place in the top bracket after smashing Devon Meadows.

At their best, we were under no illusion that Rye was good enough to beat the Sharks. The only problem was that they lacked consistency throughout the season.

On Saturday, there was no hint of bad Rye. They were all class from the first bounce to the final siren, winning 15.11 (101) to 10.11 (71).

The Demons made the opposition look slow and old, such was their ability to win the ball on the inside and then run and spread the Sharks on the outside.

It all started with Rhett Sutton in the middle of the ground. The Rye skipper was the best player on the ground, whether it was dominating the ruck or winning his own footy around the ground.

If Sutton was the best player on the

ground, then Ryan Semmel wasn’t too far behind.

He dominated the clearances, tackled sensationally, gained huge meterage with his kicking and set the example for the rest to follow. It was this performance that no doubt had the Foxtel guys excited on the TV show, The Rookie. It was also the breakout performance that Rye supporters had been waiting for.

Ryan’s brothers, Luke and Jake, were also superb over the four quarter journey, whether it was through the middle of the ground or in attack.

Coach Ben Holmes was damaging at full forward, finishing with six goals.

He kicked three in the first quarter and dominated Chris Bagot.

Ben Cain was also dominant through the middle for the Demons while Adam Kirkwood, Ryan Taylor and Anthony Joel were in control of things down back.

The Sorrento forward line was smashed. Leigh Poholke finished with three goals but didn’t touch the footy in the first three quarters. Myles Pitt couldn’t get near it and Ben Schwarze was non existant despite kicking a couple.

The Sharks only had three good players. Troy Shwarze worked tirelessly, as did Daniel Grant, while Guy Stringer tried valiantly down back

and broke even with Aaron Findlay.

The likes of Kayle Stringer-Morris, Leigh Treeby and James Hallahan were soundly beaten and Dave Lawson, Grant Johnson and Trevor Mattison were shown a clean pair of heels. Ryan Williams in the ruck was also well beaten.

While Rye will look forward to its chance to beat Red Hill in the cut– throat elimination final this weekend, Sorrento must regroup and face Dromana.

People can say all they like that Sorrento had nothing to play for, given they would finish with the double chance regardless of the result. That’s garbage. Sorrento was completely outrun and outplayed.

The Sharks had a heap of wounds re-opened on Saturday and lack of leg speed was clearly one of them. On the big grounds, they are going to be found wanting.

Dromana will be ready and waiting for the Sharks after giving Red Hill a football lesson.

Like they did earlier in the year, Dromana punished the Hillmen in a quarter of footy, booting 12 goals to three in the second quarter, opening up a match winning 55 point lead.

The final margin was 62 points, 18.16 (124) to 8.14 (62).

Steven Gaertner finished the game

with five goals, three of them coming in that explosive second quarter.

Jay Neratzoglou dominated for the Tigers, shutting down Jarred Eames, while Aaron Coyle was given the tough job on Hillmen full forward Jarryd Douglas and kept him goalless.

Andrew Kiely was back in the Dromana team and while he didn’t do a lot, he still finished with three goals, as did the fleet–footed Kieran Voelkl.

Daniel Waddell is a wonderful leader and he was inspirational on Saturday.

Paul Wintle did the job on Anthony Bruhn for the Hillmen and was one of their few wins for the day, while Dan McNamara and Jake Mitchell provided plenty of run.

It was a tough final home and away game for the Hillmen and they now must regroup before their showdown with Rye, a side that beat them earlier in the year.

Rosebud needed to beat Devon Meadows to ensure they gave themselves every opportunity to play finals had Rye gone down.

They kept their end of the bargain with a 22.13 (145) to 12.4 (76) victory.

Keegan Downie booted six goals for the winners and was one of the best players on the ground while Greg Bentley and Ryan Spooner were outstanding.

Craig Thorne was the best of the

Panthers, along with Pat Harmes, while Steve McInnes finished with a team high four goals.

Crib Point finished minor premiers with a 19.22 (136) to 8.9 (57) win against Pearcedale.

The Pies have now earned the week break, which for any team at this time of the year, is a timely pick up.

Jon Flack kicked five goals and Waide Symes four for the winners while Brad Arnold and Luke Herrington were again at their best.

Jack Johnson and Dean Karies also continued their outstanding form.

Dean Janssen and Troy Jacobson were the best of the Panthers.

Frankston Bombers were made to work hard to get the four points against Tyabb, winning 11.17 (83) to 8.7 (55).

Jay Reynolds was the best player on the ground with four goals.

In the final game, Hastings finished its season off strongly, beating Somerville in a great contest, 13.8 (86) to 11.10 (76).

Ben King and Josh Mulheron were outstanding for the Blues while Jedd Sutton kicked four goals and along with David Hirst were dominant for the Eagles.

Season ends with win HASTINGS FNC

By Phil Stone Seniors Last game for the year and it has all gone very quickly. The game was not the best game of footy but the most important and pleasing thing was we got the win on a day that was a great day with Hully playing his 200th and Agga’s last game. There were a few guys that stood out. Ben King was fantastic and showed what type of football he is capable of playing big Mully was fantastic again and Will Jolly was very good. We finish the year with 3 wins in a row and it might be the year that could have been. Now we must improve again for next year.

Thank you to all the helpers this year from the committee to the trainers and also thank you to Stew and Kev for the support. There are too many names to mention everybody but it takes a big team to run a football club so thank you to everyone you all know who you are.

Reserves Today we faced the benchmark side in Somerville who have had a fantastic year.

The game started at a frantic pace going up and down the ground with great skill, Sommie went into the quarter time break with a slight lead. Into the second quarter the Blue boys stepped up the pressure around the stoppages to break out and kick a few goals to go into half time a goal up. Into the third quarter the game was up for grabs with both sides trying their hardest to break open the game, neither side would allow to happen. At three quarter time scores were level. The last quarter was a real arm wrestle with both sides giving their all, Sommie kicked a late goal to come away with the win in a high quality game. Well done boys, we proved we could run with the best. Hopefully we can change that result in a couple of weeks if we get the chance to play them again and we can get as many supporters as we can for the finals and cheer on the young Blue boys.

Under 18s by Aaron Wilson A rampant

Somerville under 18s secured a finals berth by smashing an injury ridden Tyabb-Hastings in what was their final game of the year. A disappointing way to end the year for Tyabb-Hastings as there had been great development in a number of areas. Two late withdrawals and two onfield injuries crucified the home side as they managed to score just 3 points. Under 16 Matt Elliot was resolute in defence and provided a great contest whilst other backman Aiden Cuttris did a good job on his opponent at full back.

Definitely not a reflection of the season gone past but just a bad day at the office for the coaches and players alike as they succumbed to a 26-goal loss. With four wins and a draw the merger was a huge success and with less injuries and a little bit more luck, three or four more wins would have been likely. Next year, there is a chance that the same group of players might play in the same side as the league explores the idea of an under 19 competition.

Netball Report C grade tried really hard all game, the girls have made much improvement since the start of the season and it was great to be able to finish the game off with the bench girls choosing where they played. Coaches awards: Maddy Alana. B grade were intimated by the strong Somerville line up in the first half, their second half was much better and gave us more scoring opportunities. The girls kept their heads held high as they have find through the season. Coaches awards: Darcie and Renee.

A grade had a ripper first quarter, if only we could sustain that pressure all game we would have been right up there. A big improvement since the last time we meet, going down by 21 compared with 47 the first time we met.

Coaches awards: Shez, Steph.

By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN will face Mornington in the Peninsula League Elimination Final at Eric Bell Reserve this weekend after beating Frankston YCW by 16 points.

The Kangas needed the unlikely win to ensure it played finals for the first time in Peninsula League.

As it turned out, Edithvale-Aspendale got the job done against Mt Eliza, which meant Langwarrin would have made it on percentage, even if they had of gone down to YCW. It was the perfect warm up for finals for the Kangaroos, having beaten reigning premiers Edithvale and raging flag favourites YCW in the past three weeks.

Prior to the game, Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico said that he wanted his team to earn their place in the finals.

“When it’s all said and done, you can say that we had enough wins throughout the year to play finals,” said Artico.

“However, for our group and their development, it was important that we made a statement and really earned that place in the finals.

“I really couldn’t fault us this afternoon.

Other than over using the footy a bit in the third quarter, I thought our intensity and pressure was first rate.

“It just showed once again that despite the opposition, if you can bring work rate and intensity over four quarters, you give yourself every opportunity to win,” said Artico.

Asked whether the fact that Frankston YCW would finish on top of the ladder and earn the week break regardless of the result on Saturday, Artico said he didn’t buy into that thought.

“I’ve been in YCW’s position with both Langwarrin and Dromana over the past eight or nine years and when you know you have a week break, you throw everything into the final round.

“You don’t flirt with form and you don’t tinker with game plans. Knowing you have a week off, you have a crack.

“The reality is that we played better footy for longer and I’m sure YCW would tell you the same thing,” said Artico.

The Kangas opened up a 17-point break at quarter time when they kicked four goals to one. They led by 24 points at half time and by 29 at the final change.

Beau Muston was the best player on the ground with four goals and Matty Dimkos kicked three, while Nick Tuddenham and Andrew Withers shone.

Ash Eames worked hard for the Stonecats against the ever improving Matt Naughton and Dave Bodley got off the leash a bit with five goals. Bodley won the league goal kicking award with 53 goals.

Edithvale-Aspendale finished off Mt Eliza’s season and in doing so ensured its top three position and the double chance.

The Eagles led by 23 points at the first change and while the bruised and battered Redlegs had a red hot go in the third term, they couldn’t sustain it, going down 15.14 (104) to 8.12 (60).

Jarred Garth finished with six goals for the winners and Todd Woodbridge booted three while Lachy Foley and Keith De Souza in his eighth game were dominant.

Sam Gill and Rohan Heasley led the way for the Redlegs, who would be bitterly disappointed that they did not make finals.

Mornington will ease into this weekend’s elimination final against Langwarrin on the back of a monstrous 93-point win over Pines.

The Pythons knocked Mornington off in one of the upsets of the season earlier this year, however, there was no danger of that happening again on Saturday.

The Dogs were 35 points up at quarter time and 64 up at the halfway mark. They ran out 22.21 (153) to 9.6 (60) winners.

Jackson Calder finished with a game high eight goals to finish the season with 46 while Dale Nolan booted six to give him 43 for the year.

Beau Hendry was outstanding for the Pythons while Jake Prosser worked hard for his three goals.

Bonbeach also warmed up for a qualifying final showdown and grand final replay against Edithvale with a commanding 114-point win against Chelsea.

The Seagulls led the Sharks by 17 points at the first change and the difference was just nine points at the long interval.

However, the home side booted 18 goals to two after the break to win 24.15 (159) to 6.9 (45).

Owen Hulett kicked seven goals in a best on ground performance in just his sixth game of the season for the Sharks, while Calhan McQueen kicked five majors, giving him nine in the past two weeks. Jackson Casey was also among the best players yet again. Of Casey’s 18 matches this season, he has been in the best 13 times. Of those 13, he has been named first or second best on nine occasions.

Todd Gardiner and James Sivijs were the best of the Gulls.

Seaford finished its season with two wins on the trot, beating Karingal 12.15 (87) to 9.13 (67).

The Bulls led the Tigers at every change, however, were outscored four goals to four behinds in the last quarter.

Ben Crowe led from the front for his young team with four goals while Tom Shaw and James Quanchi also played great games.

Grant Paxton and Grant Goodall were superb for the Bulls, as was Aaron Paxton and Tom Wilkinson.

Girl’s footy makes its mark on the competition sports and the development of this team over the last two years is a clear example of this growth.

The team has been coached by local sporting identity and community bank senior manager Gary Sanford and his daughter Vicki as assistant coach.

Unfortunately for Vicki prior to this season’s first game she did her ACL playing netball, which was a huge loss to the team. Vicki was instrumental in getting the team together last season and won its best and fairest in the team’s first year.

“This team has gone from strength to strength from the very first training run together last year,” said Gary.

“The improvement in each individual player and the team as a whole was clearly evident in today’s game, competing against quality experienced opposition.

“Although the team lost today every player gave 100 per cent and played great team football. I thank every player for how they competed all year and improved each game.

“I hope these girls stick together next year and go on to enjoy even more success in the future.”

The team has had tremendous support from the Beleura Junior Football Club who allowed the team to use their grounds and facilities for training twice a week this year. It also hosted two of the season’s games at Dallas Brooks Oval in Mornington during the year.

“You can be assured girls football will continue to grow and you will hear a lot more about this group of girls’ successes on the football field in the future,” Sanford said.

THE MPJFL Youth Girls faced Cranbourne in its first preliminary final and greatest test yet on Saturday.

The experienced Cranbourne side have been a power house team in youth girl’s football for the last five years.

They went through the South East Juniors (SEJ) Youth Girls season undefeated and in the only game the MPJFL girls played against them during the year, they won by 49 points.

At the end of preliminary final, the difference was just one point. Unfortunately, enough to see the end of this team’s amazing season of improvement.

They went into the game with the maximum 21 players with six on the bench, which has been the norm for the last few weeks, indicating the increase in team numbers and the growth in girls wanting to play football.

It is hard to believe that this team is only two years old, forming two weeks before the start of the SEJ Youth Girls Competition.

In its first season the team competed well, qualifying and playing in the top division and finishing the season fifth out of 12 teams, but missing out on finals.

In only four games last season the team had enough players to have a bench.

This season every game the team had players running off the bench with several games played with a maximum 21 players.

The team plays under the MPJFL Youth Girls banner and has players from Rye, Rosebud, McCrae, Bittern, Hastings, Somerville, Mt Martha, Mornington and Mt Eliza areas.

It is truly a Mornington Peninsula team with many of the girls this year playing their first season of football in a team competition.

Girl’s football is one of the fastest growing

MPJFL Youth Girls: 6.8 (44) defeated by Cranbourne: 6.9 (45) Goals: Phillip 3, Speedy 1, Baird 1, Muir 1 Best: Mitchell, Speedy, Rylance, Muir, Baird, Francis, Mandile, Walker, Lewis, Stahl.

HASTINGS Football Club seniors captain David Hulls played his 200th game for the club on Saturday.

The team got up for the milestone occasion, beating Somerville.
