Business case bid for ferry Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au TENDERS close in eight days for consultants to prepare “comprehensive business case” for a Cowes to Stony Point car ferry.

An economic study produced six years ago put the overall cost of the project at $47 million and predicted it would lead to greater employment on Phillip Island and the Mornington, Peninsula during and after construction of two new terminals.

The shires of Mornington Peninsula and Bass Coast are now awaiting their call for submission from consultants to prepare a business case.

The state government has conributed $250,000 and the shires $25,000 each.

There is nothing new about the ferry plan, and several studies have already been made this century, starting with a pre-feasibility study by consulting engineers Arup 2003, followed in 2008 by Bays and Maritime Initiative – Stony Point to Cowes Vehicle Ferry,

by Maunsell Australia.

In the July 2010 economic impact assessment commissioned by Bass Coast Essential Economics estimated the ferry service would carry 109,500 cars (323,000 passengers) in its first year increasing to 127,750 cars (375,000 passengers) in a decade.

The mayor of Bass Coast Cr Pamela Rothfield said calling for a business case tender was “a big week for tourism”.

based on a 50-car ferry running from Stony Point and Cowes every two hours between 8am and 5pm.

The cost of building a new pier and infrastructure at Stony Point is put at $21m and $25.8m at Cowes. Both piers would be alongside the existing piers.

The study says the car ferry would have “little impact” on the existing passenger ferry service, which also calls at French Island. The state government is this month expected to announce the winning tender for a new five-year contract for the passengeronly service (“Island ferry out to tender” The News 21/3/17).

The Essential Economics 2010 study said 285 effective full time jobs would be created during the construction phase of the terminals at Stony Point and Cowes which “will ensure continual low unemployment rates in Bass Coast and Mornington Peninsula, noting that both shires have relatively high proportions of resident workers occupied in construction-related activities”.

The downside of the constructions would include temporary disruption to some commercial, recreational and tourism activities and traffic conflicts.

Once built, the ferries would require 14 full time staff and create 27 “indirect” full time jobs. An additional 98 jobs would be created in the wider tourism industry. The increased number of visitors to the peninsula and Phillip Island will see $14m injected into the local economies in the first year growing to $16.3m by the tenth year.

Bunjil’s arrival signals reopening of Willum Warrain A STATUE of Bunjil – the wedgetailed eagle creator and spiritual being – now sits at the entrance to the Willum Warrain Aboriginal gathering place at Hastings.

The unveiling of the statue on Friday was also timely in that it marked the recent reopening of the centre which had been closed due to lack of money. “This is a significant day for our mob,� Wullum Wirrain president Peter Aldenhoven said. “We have recently been closed for four and a half months as we temporarily had no funding for staff and operating costs. “This [its temporary closure] caused great dismay to our community. Now, with Bunjil sitting aloft on his entry perch, we can embrace the future with more confidence and security.�

Mr Aldenhoven said the “gathering place� Willum Warrain - which means “a home by the sea� in the Boon Wurrung language – is controlled by the Aboriginal community. “Located in a tranquil bush setting, Willum Warrain is a place of hope, belonging and cultural connection for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples living on the Mornington Peninsula.�

He said there were more than 230 Aboriginal members and 130 non-indigenous “kin, friends and supporters�. “It is also a destination for reconciliation, regularly visited by people and groups wishing to engage with the local mob. Willum Warrain warmly welcomes all visitors to our special space,� Mr Aldenhoven said. “Bunjil, the wedge-tailed eagle, is a very important totemic figure, always

TWO scuba divers made their own way to shore at Bushrangers Bay, near Cape Schanck, after being separated from their dive boat, 11.30am, Sunday 30 April. Police said the men, 42, of Hampton, and 40, of Arthurs Seat, were dropped off in 14 metres of water 200 metres from shore.

When they did not return to the boat 90 minutes later the skipper raised the alarm. The Air Wing, Water Police, Volunteer Marine Rescue and SES Rosebud found them on shore. They had been unable to attract the skipper’s attention.

A MAN fishing off the rocks at Cape Schanck on Sunday 30 April was lucky to escape with his life after being swept into the sea seas by a wave, 1pm.

Senior Sergeant Phillip Hulley, of Frankston police, said the man, 46, of Kew, was one of seven men swept into the water when a large swell caught them unawares. Six clamoured back but the seventh was in a bad way when he managed to climb back to safety. The Air Ambulance took the man to The Alfred hospital with serious but not life threatening injuries.

Ferry launches bid for public support PUBLIC comment is being sought on plans to build a two-storey ferry terminal at Sorrento.

The terminal is part of a $30 million upgrade at Sorrento and Queenscliff by ferry operator Searoad Ferries.

“This is important infrastructure and we want to get it right.

We want to hear from local people, ferry users, community groups and businesses,” CEO Matt McDonald said.

Describing the terminal as a “once-in-a-generation proposal” Mr McDonald said the design would “provide safer access and better amenities for the local community and ferry users”.

“If the proposal attracts community and government support it will include significant funding for upgrades for infrastructure along the Esplanade and to the Sorrento foreshore,” he said.

“The proposal offers significant community benefits including better safety and pedestrian access to the pier, reduced road congestion, better connectivity with public transport, hundreds of new jobs, and a major economic boost for the region.”

Mr McDonald said the Sorrento-Queenscliff ferry last year carried more than 800,000 passengers and 200,000 vehicles “making us the busiest passenger and car ferry service in Australia”.

Ferry customers spent $100 million in the Sorrento and Queenscliff regions each year, supporting 781 full time jobs.

“The number of visitors to the Mornington Peninsula is set to grow by 3.7 million by 2030. About eight per cent are expected to use the ferry service so we need to ensure we have the right infrastructure in place to manage that growth.

“We are working closely with the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council on a significant infrastructure package around the Esplanade to improve traffic flows and safety in the area. We are also working with council and the state government to ensure there will be public transport access to and from the ferry terminal at Sorrento.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire officers have told councillors that under present zonings the transport terminal at Sorrento should be run by Parks Victoria, but the shire is likely to agree to amend the planning scheme and override the prohibition.

The proposed terminal will be 9.5 metres high and include a cafe, shop, souvenir shop, “Museum at the Bay” and offices for the ferry operator. The plan also includes a new ticketing building and a larger staff car park.

The terminal will have a retractable boarding gantry for passengers to board the ferry directly from the building.

Student’s top award MT ELIZA student Paris Braim has received a Premier’s VCE award for global politics.

Private school Haileybury topped the state in the 2016 Premier's VCE awards presented by Deputy Premier and Education Minister James Merlino.

Ms Braim’s award was one of 15 going to 12 Haileybury students across 10 subjects.

Principal Derek Scott said Ms Braim had been “an extremely motivated learner. Her directness and ability to write in such depth were certainly Paris' strongest attributes and helped her achieve a perfect score.”

Garden supplies fire lights up the night Western Port

HASTINGS and Bittern CFA brigades fought a yard fire at a Hastings garden supplies business, corner of FrankstonFlinders Rd and Haddock St, 11pm, Wednesday 26 April.

First Lieutenant Alan Millar, of Hastings CFA, said the fire was contained to a pile of scrap metal and rubbish, with

no buildings involved. He said an occupant had lit a small fire for warmth but it got into the debris pile and he could not extinguish it himself. Four appliances with 15 fire fighters took a couple of hours to extinguish the blaze and mop up. It is not considered suspicious. Picture: Gary Sissons

Church seeks way to reopen op shop WHILE there is no shortage of volunteers wanting to get the Holy Trinity Anglican Church’s opportunity shop back in business, its reopening depends on engineers’ assessing the building’s “structural integrity and safety”.

The op shop and adjoining church were gutted in an early morning blaze on Friday 31 March.

Police have said they believe the fire was deliberately lit.

“We are waiting for forensic investigators and structural engineers to complete their assessments of the structural integrity and safety of the building,” church warden Don Johnston said.

“Once those reports are completed, we should know if rebuilding this historic old church will be possible, and in what form, though it might be a long and difficult task.”

Three weeks after the fire the Rev Tim Anderson was commissioned as the church’s new vicar following the retirement last October of the Rev Alex Packett.

After 12 years at Healesville Mr Anderson and his wife Cherida and their family have moved into the recently extended and renovated vicarage in Hastings.

Mr Johnston said an “early challenge” for the new vicar “will involve helping the congregation rebuild the historic, original church building”.

He said the building (church and op shop) at the corner of Chruch and King streets had been “a key place where members of the community connected and where funds were raised to support many local families and charitable causes”.

The church was built about 1885 and

was one of the older buildings on the Mornington Peninsula.

Another church warden, Geraldine Prowd, said members of the church “remember with fondness [attending] childhood Sunday School classes. It provided hope and comfort in the tough

times of wars and depression as well".

David Glover, also a church warden, said alternative premises would be sought for the opportunity shop, “as we would not like to see an interruption to the funds we have been able to donate to local charities".

School’s new set of wheels A NEW school bus will allow Mornington Special Developmental School pupils to travel to basketball completions, Sailability boating sessions and Riding for the Disabled.

And it’s all because of the generosity and support of the Lions Club of Mornington and members of the community.

Principal David Newport hosted the handover of the bus last week along with 27 Lions club members, politicians, councillors, parents and

school staff.

“Our old bus, having outlived its usefulness, meant the school was in desperate need of a new one,” he told the gathering.

“Fortunately, the Lions came to the rescue, taking up the challenge of raising the money with the help of members of the community. It was a huge undertaking for such a small number of people.”

WET weather didn’t dampen community enthusiasm for last week’s Anzac Day commemorations – it may have even enhanced the solemnity of the occasion.

Large crowds flocked to dawn services and gunfire breakfasts across the Mornington Peninsula, and marchers of all ages showed their support for veterans and their sacrifices overseas.

Mornington saw “possibly the largest crowd we’ve ever had” at the dawn service, gunfire breakfast and march.

Venue manager at Mornington RSL, Keith Buddle, said the Virginia St club was “full to overflowing” for breakfast and refreshments with a game of traditional two-up adding to the excitement at lunch.

Main St was packed for the march from Queen St up to Memorial Park in Barkly St. “We had more children this year, which was heartening, and they really seemed to take an interest, which was good,” Mr Buddle said.

The march included servicemen from HMAS Cerberus, schools, football clubs and Guides and Scouts.

At Flinders, RSL secretary Christopher Johnstone said up to 800 people attended sub-branch services and the 10.30am march from the hall in Frankston-Flinders Rd up to the cenotaph at the top of Cook St for the service.

“It was a good day with the weather kind to us,” Mr Johnstone said.

Vietnam veteran Tony Stafford bugled and HMAS Cerberus personnel helped out.

for the 6am dawn service, march and lunch, member Barry Irving said. They included RSL members and their families, fire brigade crews, scouts and guides, HMAS Cerberus personnel and a “large Greek contingent”.

Music was provided by members of Moorabbin and Frankston pipe bands and the catafalque party stood guard. RSL president Lieutenant Colonel John Wilson (Retired) welcomed those attending and the Anzac Requiem was played

by Major Val Peppler (retired).

Guest speaker was Lieutenant Commander Peter Day, of HMAS Cerberus, and the Australian and New Zealand national anthems were sung by pupils in the Rye Primary School choir.

Four captains at the school recited tributes to Anzac Day and then sang Lest We Forget.

Prayers were said by the Rev Dr Andrew Bunting and the Rev K Hui Lim. The Last Post and Reveille were played by bugler Daniel Lewis.

Poppies among the pages POPPIES picked on Flanders Fields, France, during WWI have been found in the pages of a book donated to the Victorian Maritime Centre Museum, Crib Point.

Honorary member Norman Oates donated the book Seamanship Manual Vol I, 1932, to the museum among a number of items that had been left to him by his father, R J Oates.

Mr Oates (senior) picked the poppies at Flanders Fields and pressed them in the book where they have remained ever since.

The Victorian Maritime Centre’s Di Maloney said the poppies still showed tinges of red in their petals – even after 100 years inside the pages.

“I was overcome when I saw them,” she said.

“I knew it was something I will never forget.

“I had a relative who fought there and these things bring it home to you.”

Western Port Oberon Association president

Max Bryant said Norman Oates was born in 1931 in Birkenhead, England.

“He donated a number of items to the museum, among them a book that belonged to his father.

“Norman was at one stage an English policeman or “Bobby”. Leaving the police force he went to sea as an electrical engineer and sailed the world for many years, before migrating with his family to Australia.

“He continued working on ships – but this time without going to sea – at ship maintenance companies.

“This love of ships and the sea is what brought Norman into contact with the Western Port Oberon Association where he became an honorary member.”

Mr Oates passed away on 14 July 2014 after a long fight with cancer.

Project to link Greens Bush to Arthurs Seat Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A PROJECT to strengthen the nature link between two of the Mornington Peninsula’s largest parks: Greens Bush and Arthurs Seat, was launched on Saturday 29 April.

Greens Bush, between Arthurs Seat and Cape Schanck, is the largest remnant of bushland on the peninsula.

Surrounded by farmland, the area contains a variety of vegetation types, making it a wildlife haven and excellent place for nature walking.

Arthurs Seat State Park is a prominent feature in the landscape at 314 metres. Apart from views of the bay, city skyline, You Yangs and Mt Macedon, the park is home to species including the brown bandicoot, koala, tree goanna, southern emu-wren and wedge-tailed eagle.

Nesting box: Jacqui Salter and David Buntine with a nesting box that was signed by all project partners, above, and members of environment groups involved in creating the link between Greens Bush and Arthus Seat.

ment Authority are launching the project which is being coordinated by the Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network. It aims to restore native vegetation on up to 25 private properties through revegetation, weeding

and fencing of remnant bushland.

A grant of $300,000 over four years by the Victorian Government’s “Our Catchments, Our Communities” initiative led by Water Minister Lisa Neville getting it up and running.

“The project is bringing to life the exciting vision of local landholders and community members and will have significant environmental and community benefits,” Landcare facilitator Dr Jacqueline Salter said.

“This work will help threatened animals, including the powerful owl, white-footed dunnart, Lewin’s rail and the swamp skink, as well as contribute to healthier waterways in the Drum Drum Alloc Creek and Splitters Creek catchments.”

Dr Salter said she had been “overwhelmed with interest from members of the public” offering their properties for the project.

Landowner Ian Beattie, who is happy to include his 17.5 acre former orchard in the nature link project, hosted the setting for the announcement on Saturday.

“I’m not overly ‘green’ but, when I met up with members of the Landcare group, I changed my mind because of the benefits of participating,” he said.

“We bought the land and are building so that we can relocate there towards the end of the year.

“The bio-link project made a lot of sense and we will enjoy being part of the community and not just remote landowners.

“There’s merit in what they are trying to achieve.”

Two areas of his property will be restored back to something like their natural habitat through revegetation, weeding and fencing of remnant bushland to keep out wandering stock and feral animals.

“We see the long-term benefits in that the land will be improved which will attract birds, such as native parrots. We had friends over last week who identified 15 different types of birds and, hopefully, more will be coming.”

Mr Beattie said the removal of blackberries along Splitters Creek would improve his hobby farm. “It’s like a mini-rainforest there,” he said.

Mt Martha Bendigo Bank branch manager Kerry Debernadi and Fran Henke on the collection run for this year’s Winter Blanket Appeal.

Family warmth ‘sorted’ DOONAS and pillows for the Winter Blanket Appeal handed into the Mt Martha Bendigo Bank branch have been added to a load already collected from branches at Hastings and Mt Eliza.

“You’re going to need a bigger car,” branch manager Kerry Debernardi told Fran Henke helping to take them out.

“This was the biggest load in all the years I’ve been helping with this appeal”, Mrs Henke said. “My heartfelt thanks to those generous people who have left doonas and knitted clothing for needy Mornington Peninsula families, particularly given the recent cold snap”.

The bags will be sorted by volun-

teers from Southern Peninsula Food for All, then passed on to Mornington Peninsula Conference of St Vincent de Paul for to needy families.

“Blankets were not wanted this year as young families prefer doonas.

However knitted scarves, beanies, mittens and jumpers for boys and girls are always welcome. Donations of unwanted wool can also be made for knitters who can’t afford to buy wool.

These too can be left at any peninsula branch of the Bendigo Bank. Hastings branch has wool available for example,” Mrs Henke said.

“We couldn’t do this without the support of branch staffers who are delighted by the generous incoming donations so early this winter.”

PUFFING Billy took on 2500 intrepid runners on Sunday in the 36th Great Train Race between Belgrave and Emerald – including four from Tyabb.

The 13.5km course was tortuous and hilly, the competitors said.

At the start, to even things up, Puffing Billy’s driver Graeme Hind had to start on the road beside the runners and run the length of the train to board his mount and get things under way. Then, at Lakeside station, he had to run to the finish line further along to get Puffing Billy’s official race time.

Among the Tyabb contingent, Gemma Maini, who grew up in Tyabb, was the first female across the line and even beat the train. Kerry Tranter and Jodie Hogan also posted good times.

Grandmother Katrina Chalke, 63, in her first Great Train Race, finished in “a respectable time” for the distance and terrain, husband David Chalke told The News.

“That was tough; those hills seemed to go up for ever,” she said. “Then, when I came around the last corner to see another one, I screamed out ‘not again’.

Ms Chalke, secretary of the Tyabb & District Ratepayers Group, grew up as Katrina Watt in the family home on Watts Rd. She is also past president of the Tyabb Primary Parents and Friends Association and School Council and a past board member of the Bays Hospital in Hastings – formerly known at Hastings Bush Nursing Hospital – where she and her siblings were born.

Tip freebie worth all the trouble of a sea voyage Wow — free green waste weekend is with us again and Mornington Peninsula Shire is alerting us to expect delays on Truemans Rd, Rye. Surely these delays are caused by the fact that all citizens who take advantage of this freebie are required to provide evidence at the entry point that they are bona fide residents of the shire.

The only people who get turned back of course are ratepayers who have forgotten to bring their proof of residency. They are made to go home with their load of waste to fetch their rate notices and return with their load to rejoin the queue.

Others who will be turned away are those who have travelled all the way from Frankston or beyond on this long journey, or our friends on the other side of Port Phillip who have chosen to cart trailers of their clippings our way on a very expensive return trip on the ferry.

Fred Wild, Rye

Wedges nibbled I have to say, it still amazes me every time some organisation or individual tries to get away with nibbling a little more of our green wedges.

The proposal to hive off some 15.8 hectares off Cruden Farm in Langwarrin for housing development is obviously a kite being flown by the trust administering Dame Elisabeth Murdoch’s beautiful estate.

This would set a very bad precedent for all Green Wedge land on the peninsula. Some of the recent Mornington Peninsula Shire and Frankston councils’ decisions seem to confirm our green wedges are in serious trouble of being diminished to seemingly benefit cashed-up developers.

I sincerely hope with this one, Frankston

Council will strongly recommend against such an alienation of our irreplaceable green wedges.

I’m sure Dame Elisabeth would have provided sufficient funds to keep the trust in financial equilibrium.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Toast to humour My thanks and compliments to Stuart McCullough for his prevailing wit, twists of humour, and talent in drawing out the most hilarious observations from the most mundane incidents. The last one on the mega toaster was brilliant and so true. I laughed so much I thought it deserved an accolade.

I am sure many of us can relate to Stuart’s trepidation having faced this industrial monster at conferences and such. It is interesting that the convoluted overkill of a small piece of breakfast toast, was often an introductory metaphor to the day’s agenda.

Esther Gleixner, Flinders

Pool cost was $40m Blimey, Martin Dixon is busy letter writing lately (“Finance committed” Letters 25/4/17).

Maybe it is because he is approaching the twilight of his tenure in the state parliament.

His government may have committed a paltry $3 million towards a pool for Rosebud, but that was chicken feed compared to what it was throwing at large business consortiums.

Labor never was going to support a pool on the foreshore and I can prove that by correspondence (through FoI) between the Labor environment minister continuously advising Mornington Peninsula Shire to choose a site other than the Rosebud foreshore. Towards the end the Shire did not deny that a cost for the

Hall open: RED HILL scout group leader Simone Gilligan, helped by cubs and scouts, cut the ribbon last Sunday at a ceremony to celebrate the completion of major renovations and extensions to the scout hall.

About 50 past and present members of the group toured of the hall. For details about any of the 12 scouting groups on the Mornington Peninsula call the district commissioner, Tina Bennett on 0409 131 489.

pool would be up $40 million. I do wish Mr Dixon would refrain from plucking figures out from who knows where.

I find it rather childish to attach the title of anti everything group because most residents were, and still are, against the destruction of the Rosebud foreshore.

Like I have always said, Donald Duck could win this seat as long as he held a Liberal membership.

Vote to make this electorate marginal and then things might start to happen for either party to retain it.

Loo without view The new toilet block at the base station of the Eagle Skylift at Arthurs Seat has been awarded second place in the 2017 Total Facilities best bathroom awards.

Parks Victoria has reportedly taken credit for

joining the ranks of Australia’s top designer loos with one of its managers suggesting that this luxury loo has been built on environmentally sustainable principles and is accessible for all Arthurs Seat State Park visitors.

Only problem is that that section of the state park (including the top station) has been replaced with car parks, cafes and other infrastructure associated with the privately-operated Eagle Skylift.

It is difficult to see how this wonderful loo is going to benefit anyone other than Eagle patrons.

Parks Victoria has already handed over a section of the Seawinds State Park for Eagle Skylift car parking at the summit of Arthurs Seat.

Is this award winning, environmentally sensitive loo, another example of Parks Victoria public resources being utilised to subsidise the private for profit Skylift?

Western Port News 2 May 2017

OUR feet and legs are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our daily activities, so its no wonder most people suffer foot, knee or leg pain at some point in their lives. But what can you do about it?

We asked the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics to shed some light on common foot and leg concerns:  The most common concerns include: knee pain, injuries and arthritis; heel, shin and forefoot pain; ankle and achilles concerns.  Many conditions are misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated, so its important to find an experienced musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist to assist.  Bad foot posture can continually pull your body out of alignment, which can contribute to postural aches / pains and undue stress on joints and tissues.  Early symptoms for diabetes, arthritis, nerve and circulatory problems often show themselves initially in the feet.  Traditional treatments such as cortisone, anti-inflammatory medications and joint arthroscopies are now outdated for conditions such as foot and leg pain and arthritis, and have been found to delay healing and cause further tissue damage in many cases.  We now have effective, natural medical alternatives and treatments for such conditions.

Regenerative therapies such as Prolotherapy and PRP (platelet rich plasma) are helping many to

heal injuries and assist degeneration.  Foot and leg problems left untreated usually get worse, however most foot & leg concerns can be addressed relatively easily and effectively with appropriate treatment.

“By combining the latest regenerative therapies with a sound knowledge of musculoskeletal medicine, biomechanics, and load management strategies to assist stresses through joints and tissues, we can aid or eradicate pain, increase mobility, repair injury and regenerate tissues to assist arthritic concerns – naturally,” say the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics.

If you need assistance with foot or leg pain, Foot & Leg Pain Clinics have convenient clinic locations across Victoria including Mt Eliza, Rosebud and Moorabbin. Mention this article for $50 OFF initial consultations. Call 1300 328 300

1a Fuji Crescent and 5 Kenji Street, MORNINGTON $1,000,000 plus Kevin Wright Commercial, Suite 1/26 McLaren Place, Mornington, 5977 2255 Jamie Stuart, 0412 565 562

IN the industrial heart of Mornington, this prominent building on the corner of Kenji Street and Fuji Crescent offers two separate titles to be sold as one. Providing two storeys of quality office and warehouse space, this address benefits from excellent access for larger vehicles, great exposure to passing traffic and plenty of natural light. A fine investment, the property in Fuji Crescent is leased to an ASX listed tenant and has an annual return of about $40,000 per year. The second property in Kenji Street is available now with vacant possession for either a tenant or owner-occupier. There is about 172 square metres of clear-span warehouse, a small production office and staff amenities. Fully leased, these two properties could potentially generate a passing income of some $60,000 per annum (plus GST and outgoings) and on a purchase price of $1,000,000 this represents about a 6% yield.

Musical a (yellow brick) road to success

Mornington branch

PAGE 38

Western Port News 2 May 2017

DROMANA College has not put on a Musical Production in 10 years however the upcoming production of The Wizard of Oz has a cast and crew of 130 skipping down the Yellow Brick Road with excitement.

After commencing a music and vocal teaching position at the college in 2014, current Head of Music, Miss Jacqui Rodden was determined to not only lift the level of vocal and instrumental music at the college, but to combine all the performing art forms in a musical production.

“We chose The Wizard of Oz because it had so many wonderful vocal roles for solo and chorus and had a number of big dance scenes.” Jacqui Rodden.

The production also gives instrumental music students the opportunity to perform in an orchestra at the Frankston Arts Centre, which will be directed by Rodden, and feature students from Years 7 to 12.

Rodden now teaches over 30 vocal students and the school boasts and impressive choir and acapella ensemble. Recent enhancement programs in the performing arts, specifically dance, have given seasoned dance teachers Ms Taryn Sabel and Mrs Jennii Johnson an opportunity to work and choreograph with talented performers and prepare them for Wakakirri in 2016, and the college’s musical production this year.

The Wizard of Oz showcases the college’s impressive performing arts students. 33 dancers from all year levels fill the stage in glittering snowflake tutus and vibrant poppy costumes in Act 1 and return as menacing Jitterbugs in Act 2. VCE Dance student, Madeline Turnbull, features as the acrobatic commander of the monkeys, sidekick to the stunning-in-green yet evil Witch of the West, performed by VCE

Drama student Julia Gregory. William Buckley, another VCE Drama student, takes the title role as Oz himself.

Year 10 soprano Iris Roberts studies voice with Miss Rodden and will be performing the starry-eyed Kansas girl, Dorothy. Rodden’s other vocal students also headline this production; Kayla Wilson as the Tinman, Daniel Gough as the Scarecrow, and bass-baritone Trent Taylor as the Cowardly Lion.

Dromana College’s production of the Wizard of Oz is the first musical production with full orchestra that the school has prepared in a long time.

“It really is a whole school production” says Sarah Cossey, choreographer, teacher and production coordinator. “VCAL Technology students have helped build sets and props, art students have contributed to media and marketing, and a large number of staff and students have assisted in rehearsals, costuming, make-up and design.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Push to reopen the school in the old Tyabb township Compiled by Cameron McCullough A DEPUTATION from Tyabb waited on Mr H. S. W. Lawson, Minister for Education on Tuesday for the purpose of requesting that the school in the old township be re-opened which had been closed recently.

It was suggested that in order to reduce expense women teachers should be placed in charge of this school and the school near Tyabb railway station.

Mr. Lawson promised to inquire into the matter. It was mentioned that the cost of the two schools at Tyabb had been £440, and that the present outlay on the school, near the railway station, which is in charge of a man teacher, is £285. *** THE net result of concert held on Easter Saturday in aid of Frankston Branch of the Red Cross Society, arranged by Presbyterian Young Mens’ Bible Union. amounted to £17 15s 6d. *** THE Secretary of the Frankston Athletic Club has handed £14 to the Frankston District Roll of Honor Fund, this being the net result of New Year’s Day Sports.

The total of the Honor Fund now reaches £90. *** A PATRIOTIC meeting was held at the Seaford Hall on Saturday evening last in support of the Win-The-War candidate of the electorate.

Mr Fox addressed the meeting with his well known humour and eloquence. *** THE Frankston Juniors were again hopelessly overmatched in their game

of football with the Mornington lads last Saturday on the Frankston oval, the game finishing with the scores at 7.15 to 1.2.

A game will be played this afternoon between teams chosen from Frankston and Langwarrin Camp, on the ground of the latter. *** SUNDAY next will be observed as Foreign Missions Day in the Frankston Methodist Circuit. Rev E Tonkin will conduct services bearing on the subject at Frankston 11 a.m, Langwarrin 3 p.m and Somerville 7 p.m.

Mr H. G. Overton, Circuit Secretary and Treasurer for Foreign Missions, will officiate at Frankston in the evening. *** THE net profits of the Colonial Bank of Australasia Ltd. for the six months ended 31st March 1917 amounted to £27,024 2s 9d.

This is after providing for a 10 per cent bonus paid to the Staff on the amount of their salaries for the half year.

The Balance Sheet which has just been published shows what a strong position the Bank is in.

The balance sheet as usual shows great strength in Coin Bullion, Debentures, and other liquid assets which amount to no less than £2,013,941.

This is more than would be required to meet the total of the non interest bearing deposits and is equivalent to 44.8 per cent of the total liabilities of the Bank.

It is proposed to pay a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum on

both Preference and Ordinary Shares and place £10,000 to the Reserve Fund making £20,000, for the year and raising it to £280,000.

The solidarity of this institution should be most gratifying to its shareholders, as well as to all depositors. *** AMONGST the troops who left for the front by the “Ballarat” on 19th Feb last, and which was torpedoed in the English Channel on Anzac Day, was the 2nd section of the Australian Railway Unit.

Some of them being well known in this district, especially Sergeant McFaul, engine driver, was well and favorably known during his lieutenancy as Q.M. at the Military Camp, Langwarrin.

The flag and banner “Australia will be there” which was presented to him by a few friends in Frankston prior to his departure, was displayed on the railway pier, Port Melbourne by Sgt. McFaul, and was taken on the ill fated Ballarat.

Also Cpl Percy Prater, engine driver, the once brilliant Frankston football player. Pte Fred McFee of Ryall Phillip Island, (an anzac) electrician, and Pte W. G. Connal, fireman.

This was Connal and McFee’s third trip together. The first being with the 5th Victorian Mounted Rifles to South Africa in 1901; the second with 4th Light Horse Reg. A.I.F. in October 1914, both were invalided home and after their discharge volunteered several times but were rejected as medically unfit for active service.

When the Railway Unit was called for, they at once made application and

were accepted. As all lives are saved, they will truly still be comrades in arms we hope. *** Is marriage a failure, or no?

To answer is nobody’s place; Only time and experience will show, To each individual case.

What’s worse than a very bad cold ?

Nothing, we feel pretty sure– The best thing to take we are told Is Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. *** Our Letter Box. FORESHORE PRIVILEGES. To THE EDITOR. Sir,–It is to be hoped that the Shire Council will not adopt the recommendation of its Inspector to encourage the erection of motor garages on the foreshore.

The proposal is an outrageous one, and the reasons given for its adoption are inadequate.

The Inspector says that “unless Mr G. E. Thomas is allowed to house his motor car on the foreshore, Frankston, will probably lose this citizen as a resident”.

Even if this assumption is correct (which it probably is not) then by all means let Mr G. E. Thomas go as his presence in Frankston at weekends and on odd occasions would not, I think, compensate the permanent residents for the dangerous precedent of allowing him to have a motor garage on ths foreshore.

If the privilege be allowed to him, it must of course, be allowed to others and soon the beauty of the foreshore would be a thing of the past, with the probable result that Frankston popu-

larity would speedily wane.

Apropos of his motor garage which the Inspector says is a boat shed, I should like to point out that the only means of ingress on the seaward side is a small door 2ft wide, which no boat could pass, and that the floor level is 3 feet above the sand level.

Of course it is a motor garage and always has been.

With regard to the extensive structure under Oliver’s Hill the Inspector says it has the appearance of two very good boat houses built together.

Well, appearances are deceptive!

It consists of a long low shed and two rooms well lighted and finished.

A nice little tank is erected at the back projecting into one of the rooms with (I believe) inside tap attached.

One room has seats with table (movable) in the centre and on two occasions I have seen a jolly party of ladies and gentlemen having cakes and tea (all hot) in the room referred to.

The billy is boiled just outside, while the faithful motor car waits on the Morninging Road.

Anyone can see it and there is no attempt at concealment.

This is all very cosy and pleasant but is the structure not something more than a boat-house and bathing box?

I hope and believe that the matter may safely be left in the hands of our Councillors.

Yours etc.– L. R. N. UTBER. 3/5/17. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 5 May 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Clear and Presidential Danger

By Stuart McCullough WELL that didn’t take very long. Just eight short weeks after being thrown the keys to the White House and the new President is already at serious risk of losing his deposit. That’s barely enough time to get the utilities changed over and start an account at the local Video Ezy. And yet in the space of a couple of months, here we are; sniffing distance from the Apocalypse and with no clear idea as to how things might end up.

The Cuban missile crisis was a little before my time, so I’m not sure what it’s like to be quite this close to the precipice. But I’ve seen Mad Men and I gather it was touch and go there for a little while. I do remember the Cold War as it gradually began to defrost during the eighties. Before that, we’d be reminded once a year or so in primary school that we all lived under the shadow of ‘mutually assured destruction’. Inevitably, when talk turned to the end of civilization as we knew it, I’d wonder whether finishing my maths homework was really worth the bother. Then class would end and we’d all run outside and throw acorns at each other.

It wasn’t just in the classroom that we were reminded of the precarious state of our existence. Movies, too, went out of their way to tell us we were living on borrowed time. Films like ‘War Games’ taught us that, not only did Ferris Bueller have a dark side, a floppy disk and a dodgy modem was all you needed to make a computer named after a hamburger think it should start warming up the missile

silos. If that wasn’t enough to make you give up sleeping and start digging a bunker between the Hills Hoist and the veggie patch, there was also, ‘The Day After’.

The television movie ‘The Day After’ scared the absolute daylights out of anyone unfortunate enough to see it.

Starring Steve Guttenberg, who would

go on to star in the even more terrifying ‘Police Academy’, the film depicts the consequences of an all-out nuclear war between the USA and Soviet Union after a dispute about a shipment of leg warmers escalates. We were forced to watch it at school. Everyone knew it wasn’t much of a film, but the importance of ‘the message’ meant that we

were expected to overlook its faults, which were many and varied.

The movie ends with Professor Joe Huxley – played by the wonderful John Lithgow – talking into a makeshift radio and asking, ‘Is there anybody there?’ At least John Lithgow survived. ‘Third Rock From the Sun’ wouldn’t have been the same if he hadn’t. When the lights came up, many of my classmates seemed shell-shocked. But we soon got over it. So despite being burdened with the knowledge that the world as we knew it might end at any time and that Steve Guttenberg might be one of the first casualties, we still managed to ride our bikes, kick the football around, fall in the creek and do all the other things you do when you’re growing up.

At some point things began to change. The shroud of perpetual enmity slowly started to lift. Mostly, this seemed to be because Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev hit it off on a personal level, each hosting the other on alternate Sunday afternoons for barbecues and to watch episodes of ‘Who’s the Boss’ that Nancy had taped on the presidential Betamax. Pretty soon, the very idea of the world’s two preeminent super-powers bombing each other into oblivion seemed faintly ridiculous. Steven Guttenberg was safe for the time being. It made life seem slightly lighter somehow.

Things only improved further when David Hasselhoff demolished the Berlin Wall with nothing but his bare hands. Communist troops spontaneously threw down their weapons as Hoff’s sonorous tones delivered his

masterful interpretation of Ted Mulry’s ‘Jump In My Car’. The love affair was later sealed with a Billy Joel concert in Moscow in which he successfully stripped the irony out of ‘Back in the U.S.S.R.’ without being sent to a gulag. Humanity was saved. By the time I graduated high school, the risk of an apocalypse had substantially receded.

It’s interesting to wonder what the eighties might have been like without the likes of Mikhail and Ronald.

One thing’s for certain; Kim Jong-un is no Mikhail Gorbachev. For starters, he has that weird proclivity for exterminating members of his immediate family that, if nothing else, must make Christmas kind of awkward. Plus, he’s oddly committed to a savage centre part that, had he attended Tyabb Primary School in the seventies, would undoubtedly have earned him the nickname ‘Bum-head’ and resulted in an horrific wedgie. Perhaps that’s why he’s got both a chip on his shoulder and a tonsorial backside on his head.

And Donald Trump – the closest thing we’ve ever seen to a human Magic 8-Ball – is certainly no Ronald Reagan.

I’ll admit the whole thing’s making me feel uneasy. I haven’t asked, but I’ll bet Steve Guttenberg feels the same way. I never thought I’d say it, but perhaps ‘The Day After’ could have a sequel. Granted, ‘The Day After 2’ is the obvious choice, but I’d prefer ‘The Day After the Day After’. With President Strangelove in the White House, maybe I’ll need that bunker after all.

Interesting times. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

INTRODUCING MORNINGTON ARTISANAL Mornington Peninsula Brewery is proud to introduce Mornington Artisanal – a selection of uncompromised and distinctive hand-crafted ales.

The first release of Mornington Artisanal is Old Pumping Station; Mornington Imperial Stout aged in Shiraz barrel presenting beautifully in a 750 ml bottle double sealed with cork and cap.

It is filled with dark chocolate and cherry aromas, hints of anise and berries laying throughout a textured and malty palate.

It is perfect for drinking now or cellaring for 1-3 years, but we certainly recommend sharing this drop with your friends and family. It is one to savour.

SUPERHEIST GET SET TO ‘RAISE HELL’ After a 13 year hiatus ARIA nominated, Australian metal outfit SUPERHEIST are back and one thing is for sure, they are here to RAISE HELL. The band who have achieved gold record status and previously toured with rap god EMINEM are coming in hot. Superheist have delivered a heavy hitting and uncompromising AAA Side in a brazen display of what is arguably the band’s best work to date.

Kicking off with ‘Raise Hell’ a hectic four minutes of in your face, thought provoking nu metal. Followed by ‘Got The Bounce’ an explosive mix of Wu Tang meets Messhuga perfectly walking the line of Hip Hop and Metal. Last but very not least ‘Fully Loaded’, a punchy and to the point track showcasing Ox’s versatile and powerful vocals.

In it’s history Superheist has seen a slew of famous faces, but the current line up is your ultimate rock n roll fantasy league.

Enter Ezekiel Ox of Full Scale and Mammal fame, John Sankey of The Devil You Know and Devolevd complimented by returning bassist Si Durrant In:Extremis and Acid Wolf Keir Gotcher Insolence and Snot on second guitar and of course Superheist stalwart and founding member DW Norton.

Superheist will be playing at The Grand Hotel, Mornington, on Friday 23 June. Tickets at grand.oztix.com.au or www.grand.net.au

Sharks’ stars in doubt PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt MPNFL stars Tim Bongetti and Aaron Edwards will be racing against the clock to be right for the Sharks country championships match against Geelong FL at the MCG on May 13.

Bongetti limped into the top of the table clash against Frankston YCW on Saturday and left the field midway through the third term. His left thigh was heavily strapped after he copped another hit on it early in the first quarter.

Aaron Edwards camped himself at full forward and hardly moved from there, despite willing himself to the contest on a few occasions. Suffering a back injury, one wondered why Edwards would have even bothered playing in the round four clash. Arguably the best player the competition has seen in the past 10 years, Edwards must now be in doubt to represent the Sharks in a fortnight.

One wonders whether a fit Bongetti and Edwards would have made a difference to the 9.15 (69) to 6.6 (42) result.

Considering the domination of Christian Ongarello (Edwards’opponent) and BJ Credlin (Bongetti’s opponent), you could argue that they would have made a big difference.

In an ugly, uninspiring and uneventful game, there was only 10 points separating the sides at the final change.

Despite that, Frankston YCW al-

Shark attack: Bonbeach took the points against Langwarrin. Picture: Scott Memery

ways appeared to have another gear or two, which they displayed in the final quarter, booting four goals to one.

While Tony Lester celebrated his 250th game, Kyle Hutchison his 150th and Kevin Lylak his 100th, the win was more about the next generation of players for the Stonecats.

Luke Paynter is a bonifide star and looks very much at home in the seniors – he’s the next BJ Credlin.

Matt LaFontaine was the best player on the ground. The Collingwood VFLlisted player controlled the game and

despite the Pines’ heat early, not once did he not put his head over the footy.

In fact, not one YCW player backed away. The likes of Joey Lane, Paul Theobald, Mark Berenger, Rohan Forrest and co would have been proud.

Maklin Raine is getting better with every match, Angus Wright looks comfortable at the level and Lachlan Street was superb. You can throw Tom Capp and Jake Lovett in the mix too.

The Stonecats have class everywhere.

From last year’s premiership for-

ward half, the Stonecats were missing Lew Roberts, Dave Bodley, Anthony Bruhn and Sam Widdowson – there’s 130 goals right there. Only Roberts won’t return.

On Saturday, Riley Hodson, Anthony Barry and Michael Debenham were also missing.

The Stonecats just keep breeding the next generation.

Pines just isn’t in the same class.

Lachy Marshall and Nick Boswell have been great additions, and they both played well, however, the depth of Pines’ class is way off where It needs to be to challenge the best.

Paul Scanlon was easily the Pines’ best player and was one of the best three on the ground.

Mt Eliza and Mornington played last Tuesday (ANZAC Day) in a tough contest and were burned by the four day turn around in their respective matches on Saturday.

Now maybe Edithvale may have still beaten the Dogs and Chelsea may have caused an upset against Mt Eliza, however, we all know that the fourday break played a significant role.

AFLSE made a huge mistake with the fixturing and both the Dogs and Redlegs would be fuming behind closed doors.

Take nothing away from the Eagles and Gulls though.

Edithvale turned around a 20-point deficit at three quarter time to boot seven goals to zip in the last. The Dogs

were dead on their feet, losing 14.13 (97) to 17.12 (114).

Will Flavelle and Charlie Martello booted four each and Chris Wylie starred.

Paul McGettigan and Dale Whelan booted five each for the Dogs.

Chelsea trailed Mt Eliza all day too but booted three goals to one in the last quarter to win 10.10 (70) to 9.10 (64).

Jack Francis was sensational for the Gulls, booting four goals, Curtis Bywater played his best game in four years and Aaron Pawel played his best game for the Gulls.

The Redlegs had a number of changes from Tuesday’s team but Shaun Knott played his first game and impressed with three goals.

Seaford continues to impress, smashing Karingal 17.21 (123) to 9.10 (64).

Matt McCormack was sensational for the Tigers with seven goals while Dean Williamson and Aaron Walton were superb.

Michael Burke in game 301 and Damien Ashcroft in game four were the best of the Bulls.

In the final game, Bonbeach led Langwarrin at half time by just a point but booted seven goals to three in the second half to win 12.11 (83) to 8.8 (56).

Trent Dennis-Lane booted three goals and Jackson Casey dominated again for the Sharks.

Blues take the Tiger by the tail NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt IT may have taken five matches of football to get there but reigning Nepean champions Hastings slipped into top gear on Saturday against Dromana.

The Blues found the spark it has been looking for and booted seven goals to one in a blistering first term and by half time had opened up a 68 point lead. The final score was 22.22 (154) to 8.5 (53).

Hastings’ form before this match had been ordinary, despite the fact that it won three of its first four matches.

Its match against Frankston Bombers last week proved to the defending premiers that it had some work to do to recapture its form of late 2016.

Premiership coach Brendan Dunne told the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that his team had a few hiccups early in the season.

“We had a faultless pre-season but into the practice matches and early in the season, we got a few injuries and niggles to some key players,” Dunne said.

“We have been just off it a little but I was really happy that we were able to get some wins despite being below our best.

“Hastings teams of the past wouldn’t have won those early games so I’m really happy with the resolve of the group,” Dunne said.

Dunne said that his players were not complacent and were “just as hungry” for more success.

“Like I said, the boys came back in great shape and we had a really great pre-season – it’s just those hiccups that affected us early,” Dunne said.

There were no signs of early-season bad form on Saturday with Ricky Fer-

raro back in the team and dominating and Josh Mulheron controlling the ruck.

Luke Hewitt was back to his best with seven goals in a dominant display and Luke Clark was also back for the Blues and playing well.

Western Port News 2 May 2017

It wasn’t a great day for the Tigers.

Cameron Carmody ripped a calf which robbed it of a tall and left Adam Hunter to spend time in the ruck.

On the eve of the match, there was more good news for the Blues. Former

Somerville coach David Hirst trained with the Blues on Thursday night and is set to make his return.

Frankston Bombers held on to win a thriller against Red Hill.

Both teams came into the game with good form and in a tight contest, it was going to come down to a little bit of luck on who won the match.

In the dying minutes of the game, Red Hill failed to get a 50m penalty after Allan Williams was reported by two umpires. The result was a missed opportunity, Frankston taking it to the other end of the ground and converting to make the difference nine points.

The Bombers booted two goals to two behinds in the last to win 8.5 (53) to 6.9 (45).

Once again, Red Hill dominated early in the match but just couldn’t convert its opportunities. Frankston, without stars Beau Muston and Alex Harnett (both leg injuries), made the most of its opportunities.

Collingwood premiership player Chris Dawes made his debut for Sorrento on Saturday and was one of four players to boot three goals in the teams big 22.22 (154) to 2.6 (18) win against Crib Point.

It was the first sign of the Player Points System ‘issue’ that Sorrento has with Justin McCleary dropped to the seconds to make way for Dawes. Some would say it’s a great ‘issue’ to have.

Nick Corp booted three and was one of the team’s best yet again while Daniel Grant and Luke Tapscott dominated.

There is no love lost between Sorrento and Crib Point and the Sharks would have loved nothing more than to bury the Pies on their own turf.

Brad Arnold and youngster Riley Bowman were the best of the Pies.

It was a big day for Rye, winning its first match of the season against Pearcedale.

It has been a tough start to the year for the Demons and it didn’t get much worse than last week against Sorrento, however, it put that behind them and led for much of the day to beat the Dales.

Tim Churchin booted four goals and Oscar Whitty and Matt Whelan three each while Ben Winters-Kerr kicked a couple in his 200th game. Winters-Kerr will play his 200th senior match in three weeks time.

Harry Prior was once again the best of the Dales while Danny Marshall finished with four goals.

Devon Meadows made it two wins on the trot on Saturday, beating Tyabb by almost 12 goals, 21.9 (135) to 10.4 (64).

Allan Murray continued his superb start to the season with nine goals while Jesse Bowe and Kyle Salerno with five goals starred.

Jordan Alves with three goals was the best of the Yabbies.

In the final game of the round, Rosebud bounced back from its shock defeat last week, smashing Somerville by 48 points, 14.17 (101) to 8.5 (53).

The Buds jumped out of the blocks and iced the game in the first quarter, booting eight goals to one.

Keegan Downie was back to his best with seven goals while Jack Jarman was his side’s best player for the second week in a row.

Kane McKenzie and Luke Burton were the best of the Eagles.

NPL striker joins Langwarrin as Kenny returns SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN has thrown down the gauntlet to other title contenders by signing Scottish striker Liam Baxter from NPL outfit Goulburn Valley Suns.

And the State 1 South-East leader will strengthen further with the return of gun central defender Kieron Kenny who went back to England in March following a family bereavement.

Kenny is due to arrive in Melbourne tomorrow (Tuesday).

Baxter, 24, was on the books of Scottish Premier League outfit Inverness Caledonian Thistle until he was 17 when he decided to leave to get more first team football.

He played in the Highland League with Brora Rangers, Buckie Thistle and Forres Mechanics before arriving in Melbourne in January.

He had a topsy turvy spell with the Suns, scoring in his first game, being sent off in his second match and being involved in a serious car crash in Shepparton in February and suffering leg and pelvic bruising and lacerations which sidelined him for a few weeks.

Langy team manager Robert Mathieson senior drove to Shepparton last Thursday and took Baxter to his new home, a sponsor’s property in Langwarrin where his housemates are teammates Aaran Currie and Alex Metcalfe.

Kenny is held in high regard by Langy’s coaching staff and the former Macclesfield Town youth team captain has played in the Swedish Second Division with Gaellivare Malmberget.

Langy signed him from English club Congleton Town in the Hallmark Security League where he formed a formidable central defensive partnership with recent Langy import George Whiteoak.

When Langy’s veteran goal machine Caleb Nicholes returns from his Kokoda Trail trek next week he’ll be part of the strongest first team squad assembled at Lawton Park for years.

“It’s the sort of selection headache you like to have,” said long-serving Langy gaffer Gus Macleod.

Langy picked up what could prove to be a valuable away point on Saturday when it drew 0-0 with Warragul and remains the only unbeaten team in the league.

Mornington was in control for most of Saturday night’s 2-1 away win against bottom side Mooroolbark.

Mornington central defender Simon Webster opened the scoring in the 24th minute when the Barkers failed to deal with a corner presenting Webster with

Langy lad: Langwarrin’s new Scottish striker Liam Baxter.

a tap-in.

The visitors went further ahead in the 59th minute courtesy of a back post header from livewire forward Wayne Gordon and Barkers striker Sam Klepac replied late in the game.

Mornington has lost two strikers from its senior squad in the space of a week as Michael Freeman has joined Gino Defeo in search of more game time.

Defeo is playing assistant coach to Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor at Westgate while Doveton and Knox are believed to be vying for Freeman’s signature.

Mornington boss Adam Jamieson remains in the hunt for new players.

Peninsula Strikers broke through for its first league win of the season on Saturday, a 2-0 derby triumph against Seaford United at North Seaford Reserve.

A superb Chris McKenna ball sent Aziz Bayeh through in the 15th minute but he shot straight at Seaford keeper Harrison Burgess.

Two minutes later a Danny Brooks free kick on the left was headed wide

by Trevor Johnston.

In the 21st minute Seaford midfielder Paul McGuire sent Alex Roberts clear on the left and he played the ball across the face of goal but Troy Williams slid down and cleared.

The deadlock was broken in the 24th minute when Seaford failed to

deal with Johnston’s long throw and Brooks hammered home the loose ball from close range.

Tom Natoli crossed from the right in the 36th minute and Roberts’ spectacular overhead kick sailed just wide.

A minute later the home team was staring down the barrel when a defensive blunder enabled Bayeh to skip clear on the right and his cutback was met by Alex Hopson who took a touch before striking a low shot that eluded Burgess to make it 2-0.

A weak shot by Mitch Lander in the 41st minute was the first time Seaford was on target but a minute later Lander forced Strikers’ custodian Colin McCormack into a fine low save.

Lander was thwarted by McCormack again in the second half as was Seaford teammate Tom Natoli while Roberts blew a gilt-edged chance by blasting high and wide from close range.

Strikers’ head coach Craig Lewis and assistant Billy Buchanan were sent off in the second half while Seaford remains anchored to the foot of the ladder with just one point.

Frankston Pines went down 3-0 away to Doveton on Saturday thanks to goals from Senahid Tokalic, Shane Tagliaferro and Nasir Mohammad.

ance continues.

Skye United maintained its perfect league record in State 3 South-East with a 3-1 away win over Riversdale last weekend.

Skye striker Nick Theodore opening the scoring within the first five minutes when he got on the end of a cross from English import Jacob Scotte-Hatherly.

This was followed up by a quickfire double from winger Jason Nowakowski.

In the 16th minute he ghosted in at the front post to head home from a Mark O’Connor cross, and then the two linked up again to make it 3-0 after just 20 minutes.

Riversdale’s Jon Foley-Donoghue pulled one back in the 48th minute after waltzing through the midfield and picking out the top left-hand corner to the despair of Skye goalkeeper Jonathon Crook.

Chances went begging for O’Connor and Wumjock Jock, however the damage was done and Skye held its nerve.

Skye can maintain its promotion momentum when it takes on Sandringham on Wednesday (5 May) at Skye Recreation Reserve in a revised round one fixture with the reserves kicking off at 6.30pm and the seniors at 8.30pm.

Three days later Skye again is at home when it hosts South Yarra in the annual John Ramsden commemorative match.

Baxter beat Keysborough 3-2 at Coomoora Reserve last weekend in a bruising State 4 South encounter.

Liam Kilner opened Baxter’s account in the 10th minute from close range and Ben Meiklum’s perseverance down the left in the 19th minute paid off when he squared the ball for Kilner to get his second by hammering the ball home from the edge of the area.

A clumsy Markus Oliphant challenge inside the area gave Keysborough a penalty in the 61st minute and Deni Tintor converted.

Mark Pagliarulo gave Baxter breathing space in the 65th minute when he finished from a tight angle after an excellent solo run.

Keysborough substitute Bruno Silva made it 3-2 in the 80th minute and the match ended on a sour note after a horror tackle on Baxter teenager Travis Ernsdoerfer who had to be carried off.

The striking partnership between Dave Greening and Michael Turner proved too much for Dandenong South on Saturday as Rosebud Heart powered to a 5-2 win at Fotheringham Reserve.

Turner’s off-the-ball run in the 8th minute dragged a defender wide and

Blake Hicks put Greening through and he slotted it past Dandy South keeper Semir Zekirija.

The home side hit back through Ali Demiri in the 17th minute but three minutes later a Turner free kick nestled in the bottom corner to make it 2-1.

In the 33rd minute Zekirija failed to get to a ball to the back post and Greening’s volley made it 3-1.

A free kick from the left was headed home by Lindurim Tairi in the 56th minute to make it 3-2 but Heart’s twogoal cushion was restored in the 65th minute when Greening squared for a Turner tap-in.

Heart keeper Sean Skelly saved from the penalty spot with 10 minutes to go and in the 89th minute Turner sent Greening through only to be brought down inside the area.

Greening completed his hat-trick from the resultant penalty.

Heart midfielder Adam Poole will have surgery on Tuesday to repair a ruptured Achilles and Heart head coach Scott Morrison flies to Thailand next Saturday night to attend his sister’s wedding and will miss the club’s round 7 away clash with Endeavour Hills Fire.

Somerville Eagles gained a second point of the season with a 1-1 away draw with Pakenham United on Saturday despite having five senior players unavailable.

The State 5 South contest was scheduled as a Somerville home game but the council failed to cover the cricket pitch in time so the match was switched to IYU Recreation Reserve.

Pakenham’s Keegan Bloomfield was sent off for violent conduct in the 7th minute and Paul Walker put Somerville ahead in the 22nd minute after a Matty Roach cross which Pakenham keeper Allan Bateman failed to attack allowing Walker a simple tap-in.

A fine finish by Pakenham’s Ciri Mernica in the 80th minute earned his side a share of the spoils and Somerville’s James McKenzie was given a straight red in the 90th minute.

Thrashings overshadow victories for the Pies CRIB POINT FNC CRIB Point took on Sorrento at home on the weekend in a day that was full of highs and lows for both clubs.

It was a similar story for the Pies with the netballer’s carrying the club and continuing with their dominant form, while the footballers failed to fire a shot.

There were plenty of positives to take out of the day with Crib Point winning four of the six games, but the overall points at the end of the day for and against would favour Sorrento after the senior and reserve football sides copped a thrashing from a star-studded Sharks outfit.

The 19’s had a great win in only their second proper game for the season, after two forfeits from opposition sides in the first three rounds.

Crib Point dominated the play early but didn’t convert on the scoreboard.

After a spray from Coach Andrew Wisken at half time the boys lifted and played some good team footy to win comfortably.

Will Larkin was best on while Joseph ‘Joey Jo Jo’ Smith, Daniel Henry, Aaron Whitford, Nick Rutherford and Dylan Van Ruyven all played key roles in the win with the final score reading 59 - 29.

Unfortunately that’s where the winning stopped for the footballers.

The Reserves were embarrassed by a slick and experienced Sorrento side, only managing to score one point for the day that came late in the last term.

It was a tough day for the boys but it could have been a lot worse if it wasn’t for Matthew Sloper who wound back the clock and put in a brilliant performance at full back.

The Sharks surged forward all day and the backline were under the pump.

Jacob ‘the big show’ Cook made his comeback and added a touch of class to Crib Points defence while Elliot Avis battled hard all day as he played his first game in the black white and teal as Sorrento finished with a 103 point victory.

It was the same story for the seniors with Crib Point getting outclassed and outplayed on every line.

Saturday was always going to be a tough game against the quality of Sorrento, especially since their Captain and spiritual leader Mitch ‘Pud’ Stansborough is out with a foot injury.

The effort throughout the day was well below the Pies standard and they payed for it big time.

Riley Bowman stood up in his first game for the senior club and didn’t look out of place, showing some really good signs for the future.

Zak Dekleuver battled hard on ex AFL player Chris Dawes while Ben King worked tirelessly in the ruck.

The Pies welcomed the sound of the final siren as Sorrento won by 136 points.

Football can be a tough game at the best of times and coming off 100+ beltings makes it even tougher.

Crib Point need to bounce back and what better way to do it than

against cross town rivals Hastings on the Pies home deck next Saturday.

In netball D grade had a scratch match against Sorrento’s U/17’s.

The girls had a good hit out in the wet preparing for a clash against our rivals Hastings next week.

C grade were in control all game not giving Sorrento a sniff. The defenders pressure was incredible creating many turnovers that the goalers converted, winning by 43 goals.

BOC went to Rachel for an amazing game in goals shooting at 91%.

B grade jumped Sorrento early and pushed on from there, winning by 40 goals. The attacker’s defensive pressure was spot on in the game creating intercepts for the defenders left right and centre. Alecia received BOC for a strong game in defence and for reading the play perfectly pulling in many intercepts.

A grade continued their strong season winning by 80 goals, a bit slow to start but there was no stopping them once they got rolling.

BOC went to Dionne for another polished game in C and GK. Congratulations to Casey Ainsworth on coming up to A grade and playing an amazing half in Goals.

Unfortunately Hastings haven’t entered an A grade side again this year so Crib Points team will get a much deserved rest after a brilliant start to the season. Hopefully C and B can continue their undefeated streak and keep their momentum flowing while D grade are eager to get back on the winners list.

Moving forward: Joe Smith played a key role in the under 19s win. Picture: Tyler Lewis

Hastings tame the Dromana Tigers HASTINGS FNC

Seniors Report IT is good to be back on track. The boys played a fantastic brand of football, and we were back to our best again.

The hallmark of our game on the weekend was a ball use. The run and carry was outstanding and the way we responded from our disappointing game against Frankston the previous week was very positive and made us all very proud.

We are really looking forward to the coming games to see how we respond after such a great result against Dromana.

Better players Josh Mulheron, Rick Ferraro, Luke Hewitt & Luke Clark.

Reserves Report We faced off against Dromana in a game that was a must win to keep momentum up for the season.

In a pretty competitive first half, with us having most of the ball ,we failed to convert on the scoreboard.

To Dromana’s credit they fought hard and were fierce at the ball.

We came out after half-time with a one point lead to really control the third quarter. We started to share the football and really control the game.

From then on we played really good footy to run away 21 point winners.

We now move on to one of our biggest rivals, Crib Point. Hopefully we can take the four points in that game.

Also congratulations to Simon “Simo” Clancy on his 100th club game. Well done Quanny.

Best players Joel Stanfield, Corey Meloury and Simon Clancy.

Under 19s The boys were full of confidence going into the game against Dromana.

We started well with some early clearances and forward chances, but we failed to capitalize.

Our defence was once again forced to repel Dromana’s forward entries.

Alex Clemens controlled the half back line with great support from Lachie Barton.

Jack Winton and Peter Magee played and tackled all day never giving up.

Dromana wanted the ball more than us and ran away with the game.

This week we will need to do plenty of work on the training track for our upcoming game against Crib Point.

Better players Alex Clemens, Jack Winton, Lachie Barton.

Netball Report A wet and slippery start to the day against the Dromana Tigers. The D grade girls had great patches of play against strong opposition.

However there were a lot of missed opportunity to finish off and convert into goals, hence the game ending in a loss.

The group continue to strive and to train and improve.

Best on court went to Fiona Kain, Rianna Smallacombe and Jess Hendrick.

C grade girls played a competitive game and kept focused.

The passing into the goalers was a lot better and therefore goals were converted.

The C grade team need to work on our closing in on the rebounds and keeping ball side of their player in

Western Port News 2 May 2017

defence to see improved results.

A good contest but couldn’t get their first win for the 2017 season.

Best players were Grace Williams, Grace Ord and Jess Reid.

The B grade girls got off to a very strong start leading at the first break.

They continued on throughout the match with strong driving in attack to finish with their second win of the season.

Emma Smith dominated in the goal shooter position and ended the match shooting 39 goals.

The team as a whole are improving with every match.

Tash Green in the Wing Defence position had her best match for the season so far, returning to our club after having a break during the 2016 season.

B grade finished with a great win by 9 goals.

Local rivals Crib Point will be our next challenge at their new home courts. *** Upcoming Events: Tickets are selling fast for the John Coleman Coterie Luncheon 13th May at 12.00 Noon onwards Cost $65 Single Bookings can be made directly through the club.
