Future plan has no port for a sub Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au PLANS to build a maritime centre at Hastings centred on the Otama submarine are not included in draft plans for the foreshore because they require state and federal government approvals. The draft Hastings Foreshore Precinct Plan - designed to “establish a consistent identity” for the Hastings foreshore from Hodgins Rd in the north to Reid Pde in the south - is now on public exhibition and open for public comment. Investigations conducted into forming the draft plan included consultations with 21 groups, organisations and government departments, but not the proponents of the maritime centre, the Western Port Oberon Association. The association’s name derives from the Oberon class submarine, the Otama, which has been lying at anchor near Crib Point for well over a decade. The original plan was for the submarine to be brought ashore at Hastings, but lack of government backing led to the association now wanting to locate the maritime centre on the outer wall of the Western Port Marina. The shire’s property and strategy manager Yasmin Woods said the maritime centre project was not included in the draft foreshore strategy because it was a “major undertaking” that required state or federal government approval.

She said members of the Oberon association had “put their case” to council officers at a public drop in session on 1 June. “The association expressed a strong interest in establishing a marine centre next to the marina breakwater, and the project team has taken into account the views that have been put forward,” Ms Woods said. “This is a major undertaking and given the current status and extent of further work required has not been included as a recommended measure within the document. “Council is only the committee of management, a proposal of this nature would require state or federal government approval.” The association runs the Victorian Maritime Centre at Crib Point and wants to bring the Otama and the former Port Phillip Sea Pilots’ tender and training vessel the M V Wyuna alongside the marina’s breakwater as a major tourist attraction. The association’s website says a “permanent site [for the Otama] has been announced on the outer seawall of the Hastings Marina”. The website also quotes a 12-yearold report as estimating the relocated maritime centre would attract 50,000 visitors a year, employ “around 40 people” and have annual revenue of about $4.5 million. A public meeting will be held to discuss the plan during its four-week exhibition.

Beach work: Horses were being trained on Balnarring beach at the crack of dawn yesterday (Monday) just hours before Marg Douglas, Geoff Hall, David Gill and Cheryl McDonald roped off sections of sand dune to provide a safe nesting place for red-capped plovers. Pictures: Gary Sissons

Horses roped in to protect plovers Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Mornington Peninsula’s plovers seem destined to be both victims and indicators of the pressures of population. The hooded plover has for years been fighting for its very existence, mainly on the peninsula’s ocean beaches. Its plight is so precarious that dogs have now been permanently

banned on the sand with the Mornington Peninsula National Park. Rope barriers were erected along parts of Balnarring beach in Western Port yesterday to protect red-capped plovers, cousins of the hooded plover. Not regarded nationally as being endangered, the red-capped plovers are rapidly losing ground on the peninsula, again to off-leash dogs and foxes, but also to horses. Horse trainers pay to exercise their

horses on the beach at Balnarring and their presence has become something of a tourist attraction, especially when inquisitive dolphins cruise alongside the swimming steeds. The horses are supposed to be kept on the hard sand, close to the water’s edge. Cr David Gill, who joined Monday’s group of plover protectors in roping off the nesting areas, said there were hoof prints in the sand dunes.

“It’s a problem if the horses go in the wrong area. They’re not as scary [to the birds] as dogs and foxes and the birds fly back when they’re near the water,” he said. “The plovers will start nesting in the next few weeks. Their numbers at Balnarring are down to about eight, although I can remember seeing hundreds when I was in my teens and early 20s.” “This area was a haven for birds. Now it’s the same as is happening

elsewhere on the peninsula. There are more people and they’re succumbing to the pressures of population.” Cr Gill said the number of koalas had also diminished at Balnarring “manly because of dogs and fences”. “We have compliance problems at the beach with dogs being let of the leash and horses being ridden into the soft sand areas. And then there are the kite surfers who go very fast too close to the beach.”

NEWS DESK Safety for riders COMMENTS are being sought on a proposal for vehicles to make way for horses on a section of Derril Rd, Tuerong, running between the Devilbend and Bittern reservoir reserves. The unmade section of road connects Stumpy Gully and Derril roads and the closure will apply from the entrance to Bittern Reservoir through to Derril Rd. Mornington Peninsula Shire wants to install “lockable removable barriers” and horse cavelettis (parallel poles laid horizontally above the ground) at either end of the road. Safety concerns for horse riders on the road were flagged in the shire’s 2014-2019 equestrian and mountain bike strategy. The barriers will allow pedestrians on Hodgins Rd but restrict vehicles. The shire’s proposal can be seen at mornpen. vic.gov.au/haveyoursay and in each shire office. The deadline for comments is Friday 8 September. Submissions should be sent to Matthew Ashdown, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, Private Bag 1000, Rosebud 3939 or email: traffic.management@mornpen.vic.gov.au

ALCOHOL will be banned at The Pillars diving rocks at Mt Martha if a push by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is successful. The shire’s amended Consumption of Liquor Local Law will go on exhibition “in coming weeks” in the wake of a six-month trial ban. The council is now advertising to make the bans – which extend several blocks inland permanent, with increased powers to be given to police to seize alcohol from visitors. The Mt Martha coastal hot-spot attracts visitors due to its appealing cliff face and pristine waters, but excessive drinking, discarded rubbish and abuse of parking restrictions has made it problematic for nearby residents. In January, the council voted to build a fence to close it to the public. Work on the fence has yet to start.

‘Treasuring’ coastal volunteers MORNINGTON Peninsula mayor Cr Bev Colom says the shire is fortunate to have 16 coastal friends groups to protect and improve coastal vegetation and fauna habitat. “These 16 groups are comprised of approximately 246 volunteers who spend their time enhancing our environment and protecting our wildlife,” Cr Colomb stated last week in a news release. She said in the past financial year the groups participated in shire supported working bees, which added up to 1564 “volunteer hours”. “During the working bees, volunteers planted approximately more than 4100 seedlings over 19 hectares,” Cr Colomb said.

Work undertaken by the groups included protecting swamp skink habitat at Chinamans Creek, Rosebud; protecting cultural heritage on Mt Eliza foreshore; restoring vegetation at Flinders; protecting coast Banksias at Mills Beach car park, Mornington; and collecting rubbish on Clean Up Australia Day each March. “My fellow councillors and I are so thankful for the generous support of our past, current and future friends groups, volunteers and community groups,” Cr Colomb said. The voluntary efforts were “greatly appreciated and invaluable to the shire”. said Councillor Colomb.

Police praised by ‘evicted’ church group Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au POLICE carried out six members of the Love Makes A Way refugee advocacy group out of the Hastings office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt after a four-hour sit-in. No charges were laid against members of the group, which included Uniting Church minister the Rev Alex Sangster and church members Kristen Furneaux and Jake Doleschal, after they refused a police request to leave the reception area about 6pm. They did not resist when being evicted. “The police were fantastic and very respectful and all the relationships were very cordial and polite,” Ms Sangster said after last Tuesday’s protest. The Love Makes a Way group also held a vigil inside Mr Hunt’s office in 2015 which led to charges and an appearance at Frankston Magistrates’ Court. No penalties were recorded and the protesters, although admitting their trespass, were not fined and had no criminal convictions recorded. One of the 2015 protesters, Baptist minister Simon Reeves, refused the offer of a good behaviour bond and was fined $500 after admitting to three previous court appearances for trespass. Last week protesters lay on the ground every half hour to form an SOS sign as a plea to help asylum seekers detained on Manus Island and Nauru. They wanted Mr Hunt to follow the lead of fellow Liberal MP Russell Broadbent by calling for asylum

seekers detained on Manus Island and Nauru to be brought to Australia. Mr Hunt later said the group could make an appointment to meet with him “at any time”. “I respect their views and their right to a peaceful protest,” he said. “They have not made any attempt to meet with me formally and chose to arrive on a day I wasn’t in the office. I have happily met with other groups who have sought official meetings.” Mr Hunt said the Coalition had closed 17 detention centres “and all children have been removed from de-

tention”. The government had also “struck a resettlement agreement with the United States”. Mr Hunt did not respond when asked by The News for details of the US “resettlement agreement”, including how many and when would the refugees be going to America and what would happen to those left behind. The sit-in coincided with the 22nd day of protests by asylum seekers on Manus Island, who gather at 2pm each day in response to their imminent forced removal to East Lorengau Transit Centre.

In a video made during the Hastings sit-in, Ms Sangster said the Love Makes a Way action was being conducted in solidarity with the men on Manus Island. “Every day they’ve been gathering and making a stand against the cruel and inhumane way they’ve been treated by our government,” Ms Sangster said. “The camp at Manus is about to be shut down and the men are being deprived of food and water and they fear desperately for their safety. “We call upon Mr Hunt [who is also health minister] to look after the health

of these men and bring them here. “And we also recognise there are 42 children still on Nauru – that’s 42 children who should be here.” n The Flinders branch of Grandmothers Against the Detention of Children is holding a rally in support of refugees at 11.30am today (Tuesday 29 August) outside Mr Hunt’s office. The office has been informed of the rally, although Mr Hunt will be in parliament at the time. The group will leave a letter for him at the office.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Roadside Equestrian and Mountain Bike Strategy 2014-2019 identified concerns regarding the safety of horse riders on this section of Hodgins Road. It is proposed to restrict vehicle access by installing horse cavelettis and lockable removable barriers at either end of the road.

Pay up: HMAS Cerberus cooks and catering staff show their defiance at the main gate. Picture: Gary Sissons

Cerberus staff picket over pay rates ABOUT 40 cooks and catering staff formed a picket line outside HMAS Cerberus yesterday (Monday 28 August) to protest over what they claim is substandard pay. The full and part-time staff, engaged by labour-hire contractor Broadspectrum, staged the protected industrial action, 5am-1pm. This meant senior Cerberus staff had to be rostered on to prepare and serve breakfast and lunch for the Crib Point base’s 800 trainees. The striking cooks and caterers say they have no grievances with

the naval base – only its labour-hire contractor. The dispute comes after failed enterprise bargaining talks between Broadspectrum and the Australian Workers’ Union. State secretary Ben Davis said the contractor was offering less-than-award wages. “We have tried negotiating with them for the past 18 months and the picket line is borne out of frustration,” he said. “Our members are strong and united and the likelihood is that the dispute

will spread to other bases, such as Puckapunyal, Victoria Barracks, Simpson Barracks and RAAF Williams at Point Cook. “So fare we have had no response from management but we are always open to discussions.” A Broadspectrum spokesman said the company had been “negotiating in good faith with employees and would continue to do so”. “This matter does not impact any service that Broadspectrum provides,” he said.

TH Shire sends trio on China waste trip BIRTHDAY Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is sending a three-person team to China to investigate “alternative waste facilities”. Cr Hugh Fraser, acting chief operating officer Niall McDonagh and waste services team leader Daniel Hinson will be in China 2-9 September and report back to council within 30 days on the value of the tour and “how knowledge gained may influence the future direction of alternate waste technologies in the region and the shire”. The trip will cost ratepayers about $7500. The shire is a member of the Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group (MWRRG) and its team will join representatives from Greater Dandenong Council on the tour. Cr David Gill, who voted against Cr Fraser going to China, told The News it was “because I don’t agree with councillors going on any overseas trips; I don’t see the need for any trips”. “It’s not a necessary expense and we can find out the same information in other ways.” Cr Fraser said on Friday that he would inspect incinerators “with power stations bolted on” while in China. He said the ones operating in the UK were “very sophisticated carbon capture plants” used heat to drive generators which fed power into London’s power grid. The MWRRG’s CEO Rob Millard announced at a workshop in June that it was planned to have an advanced waste treatment facility in Melbourne’s south east by 2022. However, a report presented to the shire last Tuesday by governance manager Joe Spiteri and Mr Hinson stated, “it was also acknowledged that this time frame is ambitious”. Their report said it was important to visit modern waste facilities in China and understand “first

hand” how they functioned within a community. Private companies “with waste to energy proposals” had told council these systems “are currently operating successfully in China”. The officers’ report said the shire had been invited to join the tour. The report said that in 2015, Cr Fraser, council’s delegate to the Metropolitan Local Government Waste Forum, toured the recycling plant at Smugglers Way in Wandsworth, a London suburb, and a 750,000 tonnes a year waste to energy plant in Kent. The China study tour is seen as contributing to the shire’s five-plan to become “carbon neutral”. It also comes just two years after Cr Fraser, the then mayor Cr Graham Pittock and the then renewable resources team leader Jessica Wingad attended the December 2015 United Nations COP21 climate change conference in Paris. Soon after their return, the shire announced it would close the Rye tip mid-2017, a decision that was overturned in August 2016, with the tip being given a three-year reprieve. The exact “life” of the Rye tip would depend on the establishment of an alternate waste technology, or AWT, facility. The shire also said it would join the MWRRG in tendering for an AWT south east of Melbourne “noting the option and opportunity of locating such a facility at council’s Tyabb waste facility [in McKirdys Rd] adjacent to Western Port Highway”. Background notes provided to councillors stated that it is “very likely” that Melbourne would have just three landfills operating within 15 years, and all west of the city. When arguing for continued use of the Rye tip Cr David Gibb - who did not seek re-election in 2016 - said prolonging its use would not jeopardise the shire’s bid to be carbon neutral. He said claims that it was necessary to close Rye to achieve carbon neutrality had been “a fraud on ratepayers”.

Name change could lead to role rethink Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MOVES to change "foreshore" to "coastal" when it comes to naming volunteer groups on the Mornington Peninsula involved with foreshore management are designed to iron out misunderstandings over the groups' roles and powers. A review ordered by council in 2014 conducted by consultant Janine Haddow recommends asking foreshore advisory groups what they think of adopting "a less formal foreshore consultative group model". Changes suggested in Ms Haddow's report also take away the requirement for a council officer to attend up to 30 meetings of the various groups each year. Ms Haddow says the changes would provide the groups with greater flexibility. "It is recognised that some existing members may regard this change as reducing their ability to influence council decisions, however this needs to be balanced with consideration of the expectations of other groups for equal access and consideration," a report to council's Tuesday 22 August meeting states. The shire's strategic planner (coastal) Jeska Dee said the first foreshore advisory group had been established in 2002 after the shire was appointed manager of the Portsea foreshore. Other advisory groups were established at Rye, Safety Beach, Sorrento, Flinders, Rosebud, Mt Martha, Mornington, Mt Eliza and Hastings. Ms Dee said requiring a council officer to attend three meetings of each group a year "represents a major resource commitment and feed-

back from officers indicated that it was uncertain whether this was providing particular value to the groups or informing substantive decisions". "Some group members indicated that despite being appointed they feel their group’s ‘advice’ does not receive sufficient weight and their recommendations are not necessarily implemented by council," Ms Dee's report stated. "It is understandable that members of the community who are required to make an application and stand for appointment by council would, if appointed, assume that this carries substantially more weight than if they simply make submissions as a private citizen/ratepayer, or as a member of one of the many existing community groups. "In these terms, there is arguably a mismatch between the process of appointment and the intended role/status of the foreshore advisory groups." Interviews between Ms Haddow and advisory group members showed they lacked "clarity" as to their roles and some wanted to be involved in management and "plan implementation". "The group members support direct contact with the coastal planners who are best able to discuss relatively detailed technical issues." Her talks with councillors showed that some groups felt they were not being taken seriously and wanted "some control over a budget". The councillors also said "the groups provide a channel for community development, but they should not be dependent on council". A report on the reactions of foreshore advisory groups to the proposed changes will be made to council in December.

Growers urged to sign for good grape health MORNINGTON Peninsula grape growers are being urged to sign up to a program which would provide an early alert to threats from pests and diseases. Agriculture Victoria and the Mornington Peninsula Vignerons Association (MPVA) are working to improve biosecurity management practices on the peninsula by encouraging growers to embrace the property identification codes (PIC) program. Less than 45 per cent of peninsula grape growers have registered so far. MPVA technical chairman Tyson Lewis said by registering for a PIC, Agriculture Victoria is able to quickly alert local growers about a plant pest infestation or disease outbreak that may hit hard on the hip pockets of their business. “It is a grower’s responsibility to maintain or improve biosecurity practices on their property, to ensure their business is not left exposed to the damaging effects of a plant pest or disease outbreak,” Mr Lewis said. He said by having a PIC growers “will have an effective way to respond to potential grape phylloxera or any other infestation in the region”.

Phylloxera is a small insect that destroys vines by feeding on their roots and sometimes leaves. “Grapevine growers also need to remember that the application for a PIC is a legal obligation for your industry so I urge all vineyard owners who grow 0.5 hectares or more of grapes to register with Agriculture Victoria,” Mr Lewis said. The call for more growers to join the program follows an outbreak of phylloxera in vineyards near Maroondah. The Maroondah phylloxera infested zone (PIZ) was extended for the seventh time last week since being found in 2006. The previous extension was made in March this year. Vines hit by phylloxera have to be pulled out and replaced by vines that have been grafted onto phylloxera tolerant or resistant rootstock. Pulling out vines and replanting costs about $60,000 a hectare. “It’s time for vineyard owners to get serious about farm-gate hygiene to prevent an incursion of phylloxera,” Vinehealth Australia CEO Inca Pearce said. Keith Platt

Minor discord finale to musical bus tour “Well sort of. A little bit disappointed that we weren’t mentioned as a venue in any speeches [read: Cr Celi’s speech], although a long list was reeled off … Even the Rosebud Sound Shell was mentioned; not sure when the council last put on a gig there.” Ms Moore pointedly listed her Capel Sound venue’s credentials as a live music site – “every weekend, predominately local acts, for four years now”. She said the venue pumped about $60,000 a year into the peninsula’s music scene “as we prefer to keep music free” in “one of the better live music venues in terms of acoustics, treatment, atmosphere and customers”. Other free events include an open stage night on Tuesdays with prizes and free salsa classes on Thursdays. “We have tried to be active and engaged with the council,” Ms Moore said. “We went to the first MP Music Networking meeting where we were told, in front of everyone: ‘Venues aren’t welcome’, which is a real shame, as who do you think tirelessly supports the artists? “We’ve had absolutely no support from the council – in fact it’s the opposite, as we’ve even been called a nuisance.” Cr Celi said she took no offence. “It was great to have the music industry operators there,” she later told The News. “The shire plays a facilitator’s role and, if we can facilitate a connection, that’s good. “I welcome her email because it shows she’s connecting.”

MORNINGTON Peninsula Regional Gallery echoed to the sounds of the second Victorian Music Crawl last week. It was all part of a contemporary music bus tour, Thursday to Saturday, hosted by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and the Musicians Network. Maxon and Nola Lauch performed at the gallery show before musicians, managers, booking agents and industry representatives. The artists of all genders, ages and genres, performed rock, jazz and blues at live venues, including pubs, a church, festival site, mechanics hall, winery, café, radio station, art gallery, brewery, nightclub and a Mexican restaurant on the peninsula, Bass Coast and in south Gippsland. Music Victoria CEO Patrick Donovan said the aim was to “build connections between Melbourne-based music industry figures and bands, venues, bookers, events, promoters, media and more based in regional Victoria”. But it was not all sweetness and light. Soundbar music venue director Erin Moore later took a swipe at the shire’s arts and culture advisory panel chair Cr Antonella Celi for being ignored in the credits. In an email sent afterwards to arts and culture development officer Donna Morabito, Ms Moore made her displeasure clear: “Thanks for the invite yesterday, nice to be finally acknowledged by the local council as being part of the live music scene.

OBITUARY

Vale Ben Tallon – Music, Taekwondo, family, and real estate By Peter McCullough IN 2012 Ben Tallon took his family on a skiing holiday to Mt. Bulla where he suffered a fall causing a serious brain injury which meant that he could not move any part of his body. Although he made a slight recovery, he required constant nursing care and was only able to come home for special occasions. Earlier this year his condition began to deteriorate and he passed away on 6 August. Ben was 52. A large crowd of family and friends attended the service of celebration of Ben’s life at the Stratus Chapel, Bunurong Memorial Park, on Thursday 10 August. The proceedings were conducted by civil celebrant Mark Carey. His eulogy was complemented by tributes from Ben’s wife, Wendy, children Lexie and Will, and longtime friends. This obituary is based on their comments. *** BENJAMIN Dominic Tallon was born on 3 August, 1965 at the Jessie McPherson Hospital in Melbourne, the eldest son of Susan Fisher and Alfred Tallon. Over the years three brothers would be added to the family: Toby, Will and Dominic. Ben’s early years were spent on the Peninsula (Dromana and Mt. Eliza) and then in Hawthorn. His education started at the kindergarten at Sorrento where his mother worked, the Minimbah School where he developed his love for music, followed by Hawthorn Community School. Secondary schooling was at Camberwell High School where Ben worked hard and was a good student. He even bought his own typewriter to help with the presentation of his assignments. Further studies followed at RMIT and later at Chisholm. During his school years Ben made many friends and enjoyed riding his push bike with his mates. He also took up skiing during his high school years. However music remained a great love, playing the guitar and jamming with his mates on a regular basis. While still at school he performed at the Melbourne Town Hall and Dallas Brooks Hall, thereby realizing a childhood dream of performing on stage. Later Ben and the band, of which he was a member, played at many of his friends’ parties and special occasions. It was during his teenage years that Ben discovered martial arts and learned taekwondo, advancing through to the “black belt” or fifth degree. He would go on to teach martial arts and many years later assisted with the “Mat Program” for troubled teenagers, teaching them life and discipline skills. Martial arts aside, Ben was for many years a regular at the gym. at Hastings Leisure Centre and then Pelican Park. Although his parents had gone their separate ways, Ben eventually went to work for his father at Tallon First National Real Estate in Hastings. With his wonderful open personality he soon attracted clients and found that he was admirably suited to working in real estate. Ben was always supportive of clients who appreciated his honesty and sense of humour. Now it so happened that Ben’s hairdresser in Hastings happened to have a sister called Wendy who had a block of land to sell. The “commercial” meeting which ensued led to a dinner date and ultimately marriage at Lindenderry at Red Hill and a honeymoon in Thailand.

Married life saw Ben and Wendy living in Hastings, buying and renovating their houses along the way. The family began to expand with the birth of Lexie in 2000 followed by Will in 2004. The family was now complete. Ben was a wonderful husband and dad, always there for Wendy, Lexie and Will, helping them in any way he could. There were treasured holidays in Fiji and Malaysia and local resorts, camping and fishing. However just spending time at their new family home at Bit-

29 August 2017

tern was one of Ben’s greatest joys; he loved working around the house, creating the garden, even cooking and doing the housework. He just liked to hang out at home with family and friends, playing his guitar and listening to music. Ben also found time to support various community activities such as the football club. In 2010 Ben and Wendy decided to open their own real estate business. This was a difficult decision for Ben as he would be in competition with his father with whom he had worked

for twenty years. However Ben Tallon Real Estate was an instant success. Life was good. All was to change on that dreadful day five years ago when Ben, an experienced skier, suffered his terrible injury. He was flown to the Alfred Hospital where he spent five months; at this point he was unable to speak. However through love, determination and support from Wendy, the family (particularly Wendy’s dad, Albert), and the wonderful medical teams, Ben improved to the stage where he

could feed himself and walk with assistance. He would eventually move to Ti Tree Lodge in Rosebud where he received wonderful care and was able to come home for special occasions and some weekends. His last trip was for his 52nd birthday on 3 August; three days later his life came to a peaceful close. Ben died knowing that he was dearly loved by his family and his many friends.

Protests show home isn’t always where the heart is As I shiver in my heated home I cannot begin to imagine the misery suffered by the homeless. I switch on the television and find that citizens of Brighton have been moved to brave the cold to demonstrate against a proposed nine storey building, but the underlying problem seems to be less about inappropriate development in their three storey limit area and more about the danger of drug affected persons endangering their lives and wellbeing. How dare we assume that the homeless are somehow less than the rest of us? The elderly, victims of domestic violence and young people to whom the streets are safer than home are homeless thanks to exorbitant rents and lack of public housing. And what if you are drug addicted and suffering mental health problems? Does this mean you should suffer rather than be offered a helping hand? I wish our own council would step up to the plate and build a few units and then perhaps I could sleep easier at night. Mel Farnbach, Balnarring.

Ramp ‘disgraceful’ It’s hard to believe the power and absolute disregard to the ratepayers that the Mornington Peninsula Shire has. The disgraceful attitude regarding the approval of an extra boat ramp at Rye is beyond belief. It’s about time these councillors got out and realise the impact this extra ramp will have on not just the traffic congestion in Rye on the Point Nepean Rd but also the side streets which will have further car and trailer parking on both sides of their already narrow streets. What about the amenity for swimmers, families and sea life? Do they matter at all to the

councillors? Why doesn’t the council get out there and have a look at the mess that some of the local roads are in, not to mention the absolute mess that has been created on the corner of Dundas St and Point Nepean Rd. How many times does it have to be fixed? Also the corner of Elizabeth Av and Point Nepean Rd. Our cars are suffering the damage caused by shoddy work on our roads and we have to foot the bill every time for repairs. The amount spent in this area must be phenomenal. It is time to get rid of councillors that have no regard for the area they supposedly represent. Gail Turner, Rye

Missed opportunity The upcoming postal vote on same-sex marriage has got me thinking that the federal government has missed a golden opportunity to put to rest some of the minor contentious issues that have been dogging this current government. For no extra cost we could have found out public opinion on whether we should still celebrate Australia Day on 26 January. Should Section 44 of the Constitution be amended to allow any citizen born in Australia to become a federal politician regardless of where their parents were born? Should full face coverings be banned in public? Should we still stay with the American alliance? For too long we have had people like the leader of the Greens and the mayor of Darebin telling us that these issues are too important to be left to the public to decide. It would have been interesting to find out what the public really thought. Michael Free, Mt Martha

Help for veterans This federal government is committed to supporting current and former members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) who may have been physically or sexually abused. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) has introduced measures to make it easier for those affected to access compensation and to receive the mental health support they need. The Department has broadened the acceptance of statutory declarations as part of compensation claims, making it possible for such declarations to constitute sufficient evidence to establish that abuse took place. This change will benefit those who may not have reported abuse at the time it occurred or who have never previously spoken about it. A dedicated team has also been established to manage all new claims relating to sexual and physical abuse. Treatment for all mental health conditions is now free for anyone who has served just one day in the full time ADF. The Veterans and Veterans’ Families Counselling Service also provides specialist free counselling and group programs. I encourage anyone who may have suffered abuse in the ADF to contact DVA to access the support and benefits the department provides. Further information can be found on DVA’s website or by calling 1800 555 254. Dan Tehan, Minister for Veterans’ Affairs

Fish have feelings The conviction of a Sydney Fish Market trader for cruelty is being celebrated by compassionate people around the world. The trader’s subsequent appeal against the “severity” of the fine of $1500 imposed in February has been rejected by the District Court. Crustaceans were added to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act in 1997 after it was medically proven that they feel pain. The incident, recorded on film, showed the trader holding a struggling lobster down on a chopping board before chopping off his tail with a butcher’s knife, which doesn’t kill the animal

but causes immense pain, according to the RSPCA. The remainder of the animal was then fed into a bandsaw. While this case may cause the industry to think twice before abusing crustaceans, other sea creatures are still routinely subject to appalling suffering and agonising deaths. No Australian laws regulate the treatment of fish caught or raised for their flesh, and both commercial fishers and fish factory farms treat these animals in ways that would warrant cruelty-to-animals charges if the victims were dogs or cats. Fish that are ripped from the ocean suffer from rapid decompression, which can cause their swim bladders to rupture, their eyes to pop out of their heads, or their stomachs to be forced through their mouths. Others are still alive when they are cut open. On fish factory farms, tens or even hundreds of thousands of fish are confined to cramped, filthy enclosures, and parasitic infections, diseases and debilitating injuries are rampant. In some respects, fish’s cognitive abilities surpass those of dogs and some primates. It is time that all animals were given the basic rights to live and die without humans adding pain and terror for the sake of profit. The best way to ensure this is simply to not eat them. Desmond Bellamy, special projects coordinator PETA Australia

Play mirrors life MT ELIZA’S Michelle Robertson is part of the ensemble staging a play she describes as a “powerful, emotive, compassionate and beautifully presented performance on gender and family-related violence” this week. Somerville resident Sharyn Mullens Taylor’s new work Thirty-Nine will be played at the Realm, Ringwood. Its 39 scenes represent the 39 per cent of homicides in Australia each year caused by domestic violence. Performances are 7.30pm, Wednesday 30 August, Thursday 31 August and Friday 1 September, and 4.30pm, Saturday 2 September. The venue is at 179 Maroondah Highway, Ringwood.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Sergeant Westaway dies of erysipelas in England Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE sad news was received Mrs Westaway, of Somerville, last week, that her son, Sergeant Leslie W. Westaway, had died in the Canadian Hospital, England, from erysipelas, on August 14th. Sergeant Westaway was a very valued and capable officer and his death is deeply deplored. *** MR S. S. Gault will hold a clearing sale this afternoon at Hastings on account of Mr E. Unthank, consisting of orchard, land, buildings, stock, implements, furniture, and sundries. *** FOR the convenience of residents of Frankston who wish to attend the Somerville fancy dress ball on Wednesday evening, a drag will leave Bay Street at a quarter past 7 with passengers. *** THE friends of Mr G. Farmer, of Frankston, will regret to hear that he is at present an inmate of the hospital suffering from appendicitis, and the best of wishes are expressed for his speedy recovery. *** MESSRS A. Scott. and Co, Propy, Ltd. will hold their usual sale at Tanti on Monday next when a good yarding is expected. *** MR J. Bradbury notifies by advertisement that owing to “The Fernery” being engaged by the Councillors of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, in connection with the Pageant of Loyalty, it will be closed to visitors on Saturday afternoon. Admission will be by ticket only.

*** WE desire to draw attention to the advertisement of the Peninsula Motor Garage Company. This progressive Company has now started a motor service each Friday, from Mornington to Frankston and return. The fare is 4s 6d return and 3s single. This is exceptionally low, and enables patrons to take advantage of the excellent Frankston train service. Commercial travellers and others are much benefitted by this service. We learn that the Directors, all of whom are local residents, have under consideration the opening up of similar services from adjacent towns. This means more local employment and increased local investment. The Frankston Motor Garage, lately owned by Mr. A. Taylor, has been taken over by the Peninsula Motor Company and has been staffed by an expert driver, and a first rate mechanic. This Company’s original Garage, near the railway station, will still be kept staffed and run in the usual way. The Peninsula Motor Garage, recently erected at Mornington, is said to be the most modern in the state, outside the city of Melbourne. *** ON Saturday, August 25th, the friends and relatives of Gunner Dean gave him a return evening at “The Grove,” Frankston, and a most enjoyable time was spent in dancing, singing and games. Mr Slater and Mr Dean kept things lively with their comic songs. Mr Cavall provided the music

which was very much appreciated. The decorations were carried out with flags which were kindly lent by Mrs Hay, for the occasion. During the most successful supper, Mr. Slater made a fine speech, and Mr Dean responded. The singing of the National Anthem and “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow” brought the evening to a close. *** THE Trustees of the Frankston Cemetery have had an offer to purchase the pine trees round the cemetery. It is thought that if sold the proceeds would go towards building a brick lodge at the main entrance, which is badly needed. They have also had an offer to provide (free) enough pittosporum to plant a good double hedge where the pines would be removed. A meeting is being held in fourteen days from this date and the trustees would be glad if any persons who have an interest in the cemetery desiring to make any objection to the trees being disposed of, to communicate with the secretary at once. *** OUR Letter Box. THAT BALANCE SHEET. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—It is with fear and trembling that I beg space to protest against the insertion in your valuable columns of such dangerously inflammable matter as the lately published report or balancing sheets of the Australian Club. In these days of strife, I have oft times found relief from flaring headlines re battle fronts, I.W.W’s and strikes, by a quiet interval with my pipe and the local paper for company.

But, alas! All my joy has gone. It was with feeling of horror and amazement that I read a letter in your latest issue, and since then my life has been a continual nightmare. I am a peaceful citizen and have no wish to be prosecuted for treason or any like offence, but owing to your thoughtless action in making public the fact that there is an Australian Club lurking in our midst, (knowledge of which I was perfectly innocent) and inserting such club’s balancing sheets in a prominent place in your journal, I am now under painful necessity of tendering the following apology which I beg you to insert in fairness to one who has suffered untold mental agony because of the afore-mentioned carelessness on your part. To whom it may concern: - I hereby confess that I, not being a member of the Australian Club did dare to allow my eyes to rest on the above mentioned balancing sheets, and, also, dared to ask my neighbour what it was all about. For my unbecoming curiosity and unutterable offence in so doing, I most humbly crave pardon of “Mark Brody” and anyone else whom I have offended. Trusting that “Mark Brody” will accept this most contrite confession as sufficient reparation for my heinous offence, and, that you will study the safety of your readers more carefully in the future. I am a law-abiding citizen, but now, IN FEAR OF THE LAW. *** POINTS On Repatriation. The permanently incapacitated will

require constant care and attention. For them special provision will be made. It is anticipated that from time to time discharged soldiers will need medical attention, as the result of the hardships they endured at the Front, and arrangement will be made with local hospitals to enable this to be given. Factories for the manufacture of artificial limbs will be established. For the sake of Australia, land development must proceed, and every returned soldier who is considered suitable to go on the land will be given every encouragement to do so. In normal circumstances land development would continue and money spent in the settlement of soldiers would probably and very rightly be spent in any case. The Commonwealth Government will advance to the State up to £500 to unable a soldier settler to effect improvements on his selection purchase plants, seeds, stocks etc. It is thought that intense cultivation of small areas will be effective. On his small block the settler’s own labour will, in a short time, convert it into improved property. The same labour would pass unnoticed on a 1.000 acre farm. Smaller holdings in favorable districts and accessible to markets have many advantages over larger and cheaper buildings less favorably situated. Pensions will not be reduced as a man’s earning capacity is increased. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 1 September 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Surprise Shoe Size Quandary By Stuart McCullough HOW surprising. As I held my heel aloft and the shop attendant wrestled with my foot in a valiant attempt to get it inside the shoe, she lifted her head to break the news. I would need to go up a half size. Frankly, I thought my growing days were far behind me; so the news that I’d gotten too big, if not for my boots then certainly my sneakers, seemed just the wrong side of astounding. ‘Are you sure?’ I asked, not quite ready to believe it, but I could instantly tell that the question had been interpreted not as a search for the truth but a challenge to her professional ability to judge shoe size. I quickly paid for the larger than expected sneakers and left. Truth is, this is not the first time it’s happened. In actual fact, I’d gone up another half size a few months earlier. That’s a whole size in less than a year. Before I go any further, I know what you’re thinking – unless, of course, you’re thinking, ‘Is it possible to build a rocket for a fully manned mission to Mars using only cardboard boxes and a length of string?’ But assuming that you’re not drifting off and contemplating DIY space travel, I can tell you’re harbouring some doubts about my incredible tale of my wholly unexpected middle age-growth explosion. Allow me to clarify. These sneakers weren’t just something to throw on my feet in order to leave the house and pick up milk and bread. We’re talking about my running shoes. And when it comes to such things, I make life-long decisions about brands and styles. In fact, the

PAGE 34

shoe store has all my details on file, meaning I can (at least technically speaking) walk in and grunt my name and they’ll know exactly what I’m after. That’s right: this fundamental shift in shoe size owes nothing to the vagaries of inconsistent sizing between manufacturers. That’s because I’ve

Western Port News 29 August 2017

been buying the exact same shoe on each occasion. There’s only one conclusion to draw in the face of such irrefutable proof – clearly, I’m not finished growing. It’s been decades since I’ve grown out of anything that didn’t involve a waistline. Gone are the days when I’d

glance down at the hem of my pants and panic when I noticed the large gap that had emerged between the end of my trousers and the start of my shoe, seemingly overnight. Teenage growth spurts often left my ankles unfairly exposed to the elements. It seemed to happen every other week. Such was the rate of growth that, for a time, it affected my sense of balance and it was not uncommon for me to fall over without warning as if my legs were stilts. Outgrowing your clothes meant they were the handed down to younger, smaller siblings. I suspect it wasn’t too bad for my brother Cam in that there’s just less than a year between us. It’s too little time for anything to become unfashionable. But it’s a full five years between me and my youngest brother, Lachlan. All I can say is that a pair of flared jeans that were the height of fashion in 1978 were destined to be deeply unfashionable by 1983. I guess the chief advantage in being the eldest is that I mostly avoided hand-medowns with the exception of things my father had kept. Unbelievably, my father had retained various items from his youth. They fell into two distinct categories – those things that were to be worn and those that were to be admired; kind of like museum pieces or holy relics. Unfortunately for me, my father’s football boots from the early 1950s were to be worn. They looked very different to every else’s boots and weighed about four times as much. Looking back, I think those boots marked the end of my career as a footballer.

The second category was far more interesting and contained items such as my father’s legendary spider tie – a silk monstrosity that had a spider and spider’s web sewn into it. Now there’s no one left to give me hand-medowns. That’s because I was about fifteen when my shoe size surpassed my father’s. It meant (if nothing else) I’d never have to wear a pair of antique football boots again. I can’t be sure, but when I woke up this morning I swear I felt taller. Not by much, but enough to be concerned. I couldn’t be sure, though, and the only way to determine whether I’m still growing is to undergo some kind of rigorous scientific testing. By ‘rigorous scientific testing’ I mean driving down to Tyabb to visit my father and line myself up against the doorframe where my brothers and sisters and I were routinely measured as we were growing up. I’ll admit that I’m becoming concerned. If my feet have started growing again, who knows where it’ll end? At this rate, I’ll be trying to get around with what looks to be a couple of water skis at the end of my legs. I’ll be knocking my head on the top of doorframes before I know it. Frankly, I fear for my ankles. They suffered enough during my teenage years when they were exposed to the harsh winter winds. They’ve softened with age, much like the rest of me. I just don’t think they could stand to go through it all again. And that, I feel, is the long and the (not so) short of it. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

When you wish SMART Communities is a Not for Profit Organisation dedicated to making real positive change within the community. As is Smart Communities, it’s Artzmartz program which is a health and wellbeing platform for young people, is underpinned by the belief, and an extensive body of research that tells us just how beneficial Arts based programs are in the development of self-esteem, resilience, brain development & learning and most importantly , making connections and lifelong friendships. The young people involved in the Artzmartz program have come together through a love of the performing arts and their passion for the world of Theatre. Their determination to bring the joy of theatre to everyone is with a hope to show people that everyone can belong, everyone has value and everyone can be part of it The Artzmartz cast aged from 5 – 18 years who are led entirely by a youth production team aged 16 – 20, are very pleased to be able to present this year’s show to you, Disney’s ‘My Son Pinocchio’. The Youth Board always choose a show that sends a message to audiences that have meaning to them. This show is no different. My Son Pinocchio differs in its message in a core and important way from the original Pinocchio in which the story focussed on the journey of a child desperate to be something

other than he was and to please other people to be worthy of love and acceptance. My Son Pinocchio wants to take you on a different reflection….. what if Pinocchio and ALL the other kids were fine and worthy just as they were, what if the adults and parents didn’t expect or covet perfection, what if the world was a place that didn’t try so hard to “make you fit”, what if we could not only accept, but celebrate difference…….. What if This truly is a magical story with a very powerful message set to a beautiful music score by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked) featuring beloved classics such as ‘When you wish upon a star’ and ‘I’ve got no strings’ Disney’s ‘My Son Pinocchio’ is showing at Cranbourne Community Theatre on Brunt Street, Cranbourne. Show dates from 8th,9th,10th,15th and 16th of September 2017 - Tickets on sale now at www.trybooking. com/293836 #justbecauseitsmagic For all enquiries regarding the show please email – artzmartzproductions@gmail.com for any other enquiries relating to Smart Communities or the Artzmartz program you can email info@smartcom.org.au or visit the website www.smartcommunities.org.au Western Port News 29 August 2017

Redlegs run out of legs PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt MT ELIZA ended a frustrating season with an embarrassing 85-point thumping at the hands of Pines in the Peninsula Division Elimination Final at Chelsea on Saturday, 15.5 (105) to 2.8 (20). The Redlegs, who have copped an enormous amount of season-ending injuries to key players this season, including full back Jay Neratzoglou and full forward Justin Van Unen, were restricted to just two goals for the afternoon against a disciplined, wellstructured and hungry Pines outfit. After a couple of tight one-goal results through the home and away season, Mt Eliza was not even competitive against the Pythons. The 85-point drubbing was a mammoth 170-point turnaround from the Preliminary Final last season when

the Redlegs charged into the grand final against Frankston YCW. Mt Eliza coach Troy Shannon said before the game that he believed he was presenting his best available team on the park for the do-or-die final. “We’ve been able to get some games into some players who were a little underdone previously but of the players we have available, this will be the best side we can produce,” Shannon said. Two players have given grief to Pines in the past, Dan Gormley and Rohan Heasley. Pines’ key stopper Corey Ash did the job on Heasley and Aaron Ludewig went to Gormley. Both Mt Eliza prime movers were ineffective. Mt Eliza kicked its first goal at the 14-minute mark of the first quarter through Aaron Dunne and Shaun Knott booted their second at the 2-minute mark of the second quarter.

Mt Eliza did not kick a goal in the second half. In the first quarter, Pines had 15 to four inside 50-metre entries and had 15 to eight in the second quarter kicking against the wind. For the game, the inside 50m count was 56 to 21 – a demolition. The Pythons also had 20-plus more clearances and ball-ups and stoppages. Mt Eliza tried to tag the dangerous Luke Potts with Brenton Lambert but the Pines’ star was able to break the shackles midway through the second half and become an influential player. Shane Tennant was clearly the Redlegs’ best – his courage on a number of occasions was first class. After the game, a proud coach Pat Swayne said, “we played well”. “We got our match-ups right and our plans were well executed most of the time,” Swayne said.

“Our tackle pressure was great and our efforts around the footy was also very pleasing,” Swayne said. Pines will play its second final and third match at Chelsea in a month this Saturday in the First Semi Final. “Chelsea’s become our second home, which isn’t a bad thing at this time of the year,” Swayne joked. There was no joking matter for Pines in the Reserves, who lost its final to Frankston YCW in controversial circumstances. With two minutes remaining in the match, YCW forward Michael Chaplin received a late bump that saw him knocked out. He kicked the goal as he was being bumped. YCW then got a secondary shot on goal which put them in front and saw them ultimately win. Edithvale-Aspendale will play Frankston YCW in the second semifinal this week after beating Bonbeach

convincing at Frankston Park on Sunday. The Eagles had contributors all over the ground with nine individual goal kickers, winning 12.8 (80) to 6.7 (43). Chris Wylie was the best player on the ground. It was Edithvale’s pressure around the football and strong work at stoppages that saw them get the job done against the Sharks. Bonbeach will now play Pines in a do-or-die First Semi Final.

Buds’ web holds Bombers off NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt ROSEBUD will play Sorrento for the second time in three weeks this Saturday in the second semi-final after beating Frankston comfortably in the Nepean Division Qualifying Final. Despite trailing by 30 points at quarter time, the Buds kicked 13 of the next 19 goals to record a 14.15 (99) to 12.8 (80) victory. There was a significant wind advantage to the Kars St end of Frankston Park, Rosebud kicking three goals against it and Frankston just one. It was Rosebud’s work rate and dare to take a risk that saw it boot two vital goals against the breeze in the third quarter, which ultimately won it the game. Frankston’s inability to break through the Rosebud press against the wind was significant. Kicking with the wind, the Bombers were able to use the likes of Nathan Lonie and Jarryd Amalfi to kick over the lines, however, against the wind, they just couldn’t penetrate. It again highlighted how strong Frankston was offensively, however, also exposed its inability to defend. This played into Rosebud’s hands, using its powerful, structured and disciplined team defence to lock the ball in its attacking half of the ground. Rosebud booted three goals in the first five minutes of the second quarter with accelerating ball movement, which clearly rattled the Bombers. The Buds had contributors and winners all over the ground too. Frankston did not. Dale Sutton was superb for Frankston and worked tirelessly, while Jason Kingsbury had 20-odd touches through the middle too. Ryan Marks-Logan held up in defence. It was an incredibly puzzling move by Frankston to play Allan Williams on Rosebud star Keegan Downie. Downie booted six goals and was one of his team’s best. We know Frankston like to free up the likes of Marks-Logan, Amalfi and Corey Buchan, but this was a coaching move that went incredibly wrong. In anyone’s book, you play your best defender on the opposition’s best forward. It was a move, or lack of one, that con-

PAGE 38

tributed greatly to end the result. Rosebud dominated the ruck yet again, Ben Dwyer providing his smalls with first use of the footy, in the centre bounces and around the ground. Sean Downie, despite getting a lot of treatment, including off the ball, was simply exhilarating for the Buds, gathering 24 disposals and booting two goals, both of them sensational. Jake Corrin was superb also, his tackling a feature. He hurt his ankle in the third but should come-up this week. Best on ground was Jackson McRae, who completely dominated Frankston coach Beau Muston. Muston booted three goals, however, all three were lucky ones over the back after McRae attacked the footy. Mind you, two of Beau’s goals were 50m specials. Before the game it was always going to be a case of defence versus attack. The better defence usually wins finals. Frankston’s cause wasn’t helped when Sam Fox copped a cork early in the match and didn’t spend much time on the ground after that and Muston had his left hamstring iced and taped at the end of the game. The Bombers’ said it was precautionary but when the game was in the balance in the last, Muston was sitting on the bench! Hastings has beaten Red Hill in an Elimination Final for the second year in succession. The Hillmen were bundled out of the 2017 premiership race, 12.8 (80) to 5.10 (40). Shaun Foster was significant in the win with three goals while David Hirst kicked a couple. The Blues will tackle Frankston Bombers at Devon Meadows this Sunday.

Clubs look to break away By Toe Punt A DELEGATION of 10 Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football Clubs has requested that AFL South East call a Special General Meeting (SGM) of the competition after the governing body handed down a new competition structure that included South East Football Netball League (SEFNL) clubs from 2019. Despite unanimous lack of support at two separate MPNFL club president meetings to divisional football involving SEFNL, AFL SE continued its push for divisional football within its region by handing down the new structure. Former Edithvale-Aspendale FC president Ted Turner, longtime MPNFL Director Russell Jacgung and Frankston YCW premiership captain Paul Theobald make up part of the commission that gave the green light to the new structure. Mr Turner and Mr Theobald were at the last president’s meeting to hear first-hand the lack of support from their former clubs and league. MPNFL president on the AFL SE commission, Bryan Payne, resigned his position effective immediately upon hearing of the commission’s direction.

The AFL SE competition review ‘proposed’ that the MPNFL would remain relatively the same in 2018 with ‘three or four’ clubs moving from Peninsula and being replaced from clubs in Nepean. The names of these competitions would become Division One and Division Two. The general theory on this has been that Sorrento, Rosebud and Frankston Bombers go to Division One and Chelsea, Karingal and Langwarrin go to Division Two. SEFNL would remain the same in 2018. In 2019, a three-tier structure would be implemented with a Premier Division being introduced, made-up of ‘three to four’ SENFL teams and ‘six to seven’ Peninsula teams. Division One would be made-up of the balance of Peninsula Teams, the middle teams from SENFL and top four from MPNFL Division Two. Division Two would be made-up of the bottom eight teams from MPNFL Division Two and the bottom three from SENFL. The AFL SE recommendations handed down last Tuesday night prompted a working group of 10 MPNFL clubs to

approach the floor and hand AFL SE General Manager John Anderson the letter requesting a SGM. The remaining MPNFL clubs in the room were not aware that the letter was going to be presented, which did cause some red faces amongst all MPNFL Clubs. There is a third President’s Meeting that has been called this Tuesday night to discuss their next movements further. The objectives of the SGM were: n To remove the AFL South East Commission from having any role or power in relation to the governance and administration of the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League Inc (MPNFL). n Reinstate a Board as the governing body of the MPNFL. n Make all necessary changes to the rules of the MPNFL to reflect the removal of the South-East Commission and the reinstatement of an MPNFL board. n Correct clerical errors in the rules of the MPNFL. n Elect eligible persons to the fill the positions of the MPNFL Board. When the MPNFL Clubs presented the SGM letter, AFL SE Chairman

Roger Hampson told the delegation that he saw “no point of continuing the meeting” Mr Hampson then went on to inform the clubs that the whole process “has been set-up by the templates of AFL Victoria”. Mr Hampson told the clubs that the commission was mindful of the democratic rights of clubs and individuals to request these things (the SGM) but he also wanted to make it clear that “the governing body for all of us is AFL Victoria”. “We believe we have acted in their (the clubs’) best interests,” Mr Hampson said. Reading between the lines, Mr Hampson made it clear to all that setting up regions and enforcing divisional football within these regions, on the back of affiliation with AFL Victoria, is the clear mandate. This “template” is a directive of AFL Victoria, regardless of the consequences and wishes of its member clubs. AFL SE, the commission and AFL Victoria are not acting in the best interests of their football-netball clubs, they are acting in the best interests of them-

selves to bundle-up competitions and make life easier for themselves. AFL Barwon and AFL Goldfields are having the same wars with their member clubs across their regions. The inferred threats of disaffiliation do not deter the MPNFL clubs, that’s not what they are after. They are just after a competition that involves MPNFL clubs, for many reasons, including financial, historical and geographical. To quote the man who led the charge to have Casey Cardinia Division (now SENFL) disaffiliate from the MPNFL, Kahl Heinze, (a former Narre Warren president): “It’s been said before – the answer that’s best for SENFL clubs is an en-masse move to Southern Football League to create a new premier division. “AFL SE has ignored this completely the whole time. Nepean and Peninsula have been steadfast in their stance for three years so divisional football was never going to involve the MPNFL Leagues,” Mr Heinze wrote. Has AFL SE really acted in the best interests of the MPNFL clubs, or have they dictated terms to get the outcome they set out to achieve 18 months ago?

Southern under 13s eye Grand Final glory SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie SOUTHERN United’s under-13s clinched the NPLW championship with a 2-0 win over Geelong Galaxy United at Monterey Reserve on Saturday and are zeroing in on a finals campaign that could end in glory. Southern’s title success with two league games remaining has secured a home final and a win in that match on Saturday 16 September will take Debbie Nichols’ and Emma Bracken’s charges into the 2017 Grand Final on Sunday 1 October. Ace predator and leading league scorer Rhys McKenna missed Saturday’s success due to trials for the State cricket squad and Nichols and Bracken tinkered with their selection playing Talia Palmer in a forward role wide left with Candy Kilderry as central striker. Gun central midfielder Alessandra Davis started on the bench such was the confidence in the Southern camp. Palmer opened the scoring in the 11th minute striking a firm left foot shot from just outside the area that gave Galaxy keeper Elizabeth Kefaloukos no chance. A great turn and a superb right-foot finish by Kilderry in the 20th minute put Southern firmly in control. Southern’s defence was immense with Ezal Duyar and terrier-like Shauna Mitchell controlling the wide areas with Taylah Hennekam and Alex Jones forming a strong central defensive combination. Southern started the second half by making a series of positional switches with Palmer linking with Hennekam who had an outstanding game. Davis was introduced to the contest and immediately her control and precision passing were evident and Southern’s organisation and discipline proved too much for Galaxy to break down. In the under-15s contest on Saturday the visitors from Geelong overturned a 3-1 deficit to record a stunning 5-3 win. Aaron Myatt’s side jumped Galaxy early when central midfielder Anastassia Pusca received the ball from a short corner, skipped past two opponents as she cut inside from the left and from the edge of the area unleashed a shot that sailed past Kefaloukos who like her Southern counterpart Cadence Vakacavu was doubling up after goalkeeping duties in the under-13 contest.

A couple of minutes later Galaxy’s Lily Guest burst through but Vakacavu did well to smother and in the 15th minute classy Galaxy striker Katelene Cook broke clear only to shoot wide. Cook’s diminutive frame belies her enormous talent. Her pace and close control combined with her football nous when she bends her diagonal runs as she toys with offside are a constant menace. Galaxy equalised in the 26th minute through a low first-time shot from Coco Cummins but Southern hit back in the 32nd minute when the pacy Monique Lapenta capitalised on a defensive blunder with a low strike that restored the home team’s lead. A cross from Briana Dias on the stroke of half-time slipped out of the grasp of a diving Kefaloukas and MacKenzie Hicks’ tap-in gave Southern a two-goal lead at the break. Eight minutes into the second stanza Guest again burst through but Vakacavu did well to smother then gather. But three goals in nine madcap minutes turned this contest on its head. Galaxy’s Marcella Fierro was given too much room and made Southern pay with a neat finish in the 45th minute to make it 3-2. Four minutes later Cook finished a stunning solo run into the Southern area with a firm low shot that went in off the far post and in the 54th minute the pocket rocket put her side ahead for the first time in the contest with a shot that Vakacavu got both hands to but couldn’t stop.

The sealer came in the 70th minute when Cook chipped the ball forward to Ashleigh Pickett whose first touch brought the ball down and with her second she half-volleyed it past a helpless Vakacavu and into the roof of the net to complete the scoreline. Southern’s under 18s are fixed firmly to the foot of the league ladder but nonpartisan observers on Saturday could be excused for thinking that George Perpina’s side was challenging for a finals berth. Kallista Zelios broke clear into a oneon-one with Galaxy keeper Samantha Dunstan and finished well to give the home side a 1-0 lead in the 8th minute. Southern’s Charlotte Chard shot wide a few minutes later and Galaxy’s Alexandria Murphy did likewise in the 22nd minute. Southern keeper Celia Kelsall was off her line in a flash to dive down bravely and smother as Galaxy’s Zoe Tizard threatened in the 30th minute and Chard was through three minutes before the interval but couldn’t connect cleanly with her shot. Southern switched keepers during the half-time break with Amelie Delord replacing Kelsall. A significant change for Galaxy at the start of the second period was the appearance of Cook up front fresh from her under-15 exploits. In the 51st minute, Delord couldn’t hold onto a Cook cross from the right and Tess Rhodes levelled from close range. Chard again broke through in the 61st

minute but Dunstan smothered superbly then a minute later Delord spilled Georgia Atkinson’s free kick but reacted in a flash to block a close range shot then gather the rebound. Cook and Tizard exchanged passes in the 75th minute before Cook’s shot bounced off the top of the bar and over. Cook shot wide of the far post in the 82nd minute then when Delord came out of goal three minutes later but couldn’t gather Tizard struck the winner in off the far post. Southern’s seniors staged a thrilling come-from-behind 2-1 win over finalsbound Galaxy in an absorbing contest. Two minutes in and Southern ace Candela Ferreyra Bas shot wide when well positioned and although Southern had hit the ground running it was taken aback when defensive mainstay Mikhaila Bowden gave the ball away in the 19th minute which stranded Southern keeper Christine Fonua and allowed Kariah White to pass the ball into the gaping goal for the opener. Ferreyra Bas shot wide a minute later and in the 26th minute Galaxy’s Whitney Knight broke clear but shot wide. Galaxy keeper Emile Kenshole did well to save a low Ferreyra Bas shot at the near post in the 29th minute and Ferreyra Bas broke through three minutes later only to shoot into the side netting. A brilliant solo run by Southern’s Jessica Au in the 43rd minute went unrewarded when her shot was tipped over by Kenshole. Southern kept pressing in the second half and shots by Ferreyra Bas in the

51st and 52nd minutes were saved by Kenshole. The breakthrough the home side was seeking came in the 57th minute when a Ferreyra Bas cross from the right picked out US import Courtney Heuston who hammered the ball past Kenshole from close range. Heuston turned provider in the 67th minute when her cross from the left was sidefooted first time by the incoming Natasha Dakic who could only look on in dismay as the ball struck the far post and was scrambled clear. But Southern’s persistence paid off with five minutes to go when a long ball by Taylah Evans put Ferreyra Bas clear and she made no mistake with a firm shot from inside the area for the winner. The only senior men’s game in the local area saw Somerville Eagles draw 0-0 with Pakenham United at Somerville Secondary College on Saturday. It was a gutsy effort by Somerville as Pat Acha was red carded in the 24th minute. Somerville now is five points clear of the relegation zone with two games remaining. This weekend promises to deliver a feast of exciting football with the State 1 South-East title race on in earnest while Skye United’s promotion hopes are on the line and Peninsula Strikers have another chance of moving out of the relegation zone.

of next year,” he said. “If I can finish in the top three of the Autumn Merit it will get me into the world championship events, which are all the big world-wide events where the best in the world compete at.” “It’s a little goal for me and something I really want to achieve.” Not everything went to plan for Marchesani at the Fiji International with the leader board placing him originally in third place at the end of his final round. “It probably wasn’t until the end of the day that I realised I had finished in second instead of third as the leader board hadn’t been updated – it’s obviously pretty good to finish second after thinking otherwise,” he said. Marchesani said that its one of the bigger tournaments he had played in especially as it is now a tri-sanctioned event between Europe, Asia and Australasia. Marchesani is now heading to Darwin this week with fellow Rosebud Country Club professional, Andrew Schonewille, before travelling to the United Kingdom for the first stage of the European Qualifying School.

By Ben Triandafillou ROSEBUD Country Club member James Marchesani has strung four impressive rounds of golf together to finish tied second in the $1.5 million Fiji International on Sunday 20 August. Marchesani finished just four strokes shy of fellow Australian, Jason Norris, closing his final round off with four birdies and not a single blemish on the back nine holes of the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course. Finishing tied third at the Victorian PGA Championship earlier this year, Marchesani was confident that he was building up to this performance. “I felt like my game had been warming up recently. I had played well all year but had probably played three to three and half rounds really well,” he said. “I was waiting all year to get all four rounds together so I could truly get the best result out of myself.” The result moves Marchesani up to seventh place on the Order of Merit with six tournaments left on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia. “I’m pretty stoked with the finish and it guarantees my Australian card for all

Bowler, Tom Lokys, said the side quickly caught on to the new fast-paced format but the result could have gone either way. “The final game was very close but it was a team effort and all of us there needed to be playing well which is what happened on the day,” he said. “The quick format made it very touchand-go. You had to get your game going right away and you had to be accurate very quickly.”

The team now have their eyes set on the national finals in Queensland at the end of the year but understand that they still have the state finals in their way. “We know we could go the full way but it depends on the competition and how we go on the day,” Lokys said. “There are so many variables in bowling. A lot of people have the talent but it really depends on how they play on the day and you do need a little bit of luck.” Ben Triandafillou
