THE state government has been told that it should rule out Hastings for the state’s next container port on economic and environment grounds. Infrastructure Victoria last week recommended that a container port be built at Bay West, in Port Phillip north of Geelong. The Advice on Securing Victoria’s Ports Capacity report also states that it is unlikely there will be a need for a new container port until 2055, with detailed planning needed to begin in 2040. The advice from Infrastructure Victoria is not binding and state government’s are becoming notorious for overturning decisions made by their predecessors. While a previous state Labor government saw Hastings as its preferred site for a container port, this was changed after the subsequent Liberal state government established the Port of Hastings Development Authority. Following Labor’s 2014 election victory the authority was stripped of finance and staff. Infrastructure Victoria’s CEO Michel Masson said the decision favouring Bay West was “based on new evidence and a direct comparison of all the available options - something which had never been done before”. In March, Infrastructure Victoria released a discussion paper which showed building a container port at Hastings was more than double the

cost of the Bay West option, $12.8 billion as opposed to $6.14 billion (“Hastings costliest port option” The News 14/3/17) “The Port of Hastings will be an important part of Victoria’s future commercial port network and is particularly well suited to handling automotive trade, while the ports of Geelong and Portland could grow their existing trades and support emerging supply chains,” Mr Masson said last week. “Bay West has strong transport, land use, environmental and amenity advantages when compared to Hastings. It can initially handle overflow container capacity, but is also well suited to becoming Melbourne’s future container port in the longer term.” The advice from Infrastructure Victoria also comes at the same time that the government will take over the management of the Port of Hastings through the Victorian Channels Authority. As from 1 July the harbourmaster and assistant harbourmaster will be responsible for shipping in and out of Western Port with the Port of Hastings Development Authority managing the ports on-land requirements. Eight development authority staff – down from a peak of 30 full time and 30 part time staff, including consultants – will move from their offices in High St, Hastings to Stony Point. About 100 ships have visited the port in each of the past three years, either picking up gas, crude oil or steel for export or importing petroleum products. In the 1970s and 1980s there were about 600 ship movements a year. Continued Page 4

Champion of Western Port’s unique ecology OBITUARY

Brian David Cuming OAM, 10 January 1928–23 May 2017, scientist, environmental activist By Mike Hast SCIENTIST Brian Cuming played a major role in the protection of Western Port for more than 40 years. Dr Cuming, who died on 23 May at age 89, joined the Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council in 1978. WPPC was the peninsula’s first environmental lobby group, founded in 1971 to oppose further industrialisation of Western Port. Plans included a nuclear reactor and dry dock on French Island and heavy industry stretching from Hastings to Stony Point. Liberal Premier Henry Bolte wanted Western Port to be the “Ruhr of Victoria”, named after the heavily industrialised valley in Germany, and this sparked a long and bitter battle between pro-development forces versus scientists and conservationists. Only three major industrial plants were built – a BP refinery at Crib Point (closed in 1985), Lysaght’s steel mill near Hastings (now BlueScope), and Esso’s gas fractionation plant, which still operates. Sitting in his holiday house at Somers overlooking pristine Western Port and finding out about industrial plans for the region led Dr Cuming to join the protection council, founded by Dr Bill Carroll, Meredith and Ken Hayes, Joe Tilleard and other concerned residents. One of Dr Cuming’s first tasks was

Dr Brian Cuming to provide evidence to a government inquiry into oil spills. For four decades he undertook research, modelling and wrote submissions to government bodies about Western Port and its

need for protection. Dr Cuming had earlier done work on chemicals entering water catchments in Gippsland and his expertise was seized on by the protection

council. Key battles during his tenure included successful campaigns to halt a fertiliser plant at the old BP site at Crib Point in 1987, and Shell-Mobil’s 1992 plan for an oil importing depot. In 1985 Dr Cuming had taken on the presidency of the council after the death of Bill Carroll, a post he held until 1996. Dr Cuming was on the committee until 2007 when he retired. He became the council’s “honorary scientific adviser”. In 2015 he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for his environmental work. (Nanette Cuming also received an OAM, for her work in the native plant industry and for volunteering at community groups in the region.) Dr Cuming grew up in Caulfield and attended Caulfield Grammar before doing a science and chemistry degree at the University of Melbourne, and a PhD at Cambridge in England. He worked for the CSIRO either side of his Cambridge days before joining ICI Australia, where he worked for 18 years before leaving in 1977. He was a part-time chemistry lecturer at Swinburne Institute of Technology and set up an environment course, one of the first in Melbourne. The Cumings moved to five hectares at Hunts Rd, Bittern, in 1981 to expand the native plant business, and Dr Cuming helped Nanette operate it. He was a founding member of Devilbend Foundation, which successfully lobbied the government to make the decommissioned Devilbend Reservoir into a reserve rather than housing.

Dr Cuming was a member of several groups including Environment Victoria’s community reference group; Conservation Council of Victoria; Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation; Port of Hastings community reference group; and Greenpeace Australia. WPPC secretary Karri Giles said Dr Cuming’s “love of environmental philosophy helped develop the vision of our group”. “Brian was especially good at keeping people updated, networking and finding new allies. He was our main contact with environmental groups and bureaucrats for many years.” In 2011, Dr Cuming said: “Western Port is not and has never been the place for industry. It is one of the world’s most important wetlands, and has outstanding marine and coastal environmental values. More than 350 native plant and 330 native animal species including reptiles, amphibians, mammals, fish and birds live here.” He said even a minor oil spill would have devastating effects on the environment because of tidal movement and shallow areas of Western Port, 40 per cent of which was inter-tidal mud and sand flats. His funeral will be held at Bunurong Memorial Park, FrankstonDandenong Rd, Dandenong South, at 11.30am on Friday 2 June. Dr Cuming is survived by his wife Nanette; brothers Lindsay and Bob; children Richard, Ian, Pip (Philippa) and Rohan; and grandchildren Damon, Joel, Mayra, Ella and Jamie.

Houses go up and appeals become history

Supporters of the World War II memorial at Flinders Park: Paul Miller, Kevin Davies, Heather Goddard, David Gill, Keith Hando, Jo Monie, Bill Clancy, Jayne Johnson, Greg Hood, Mark Holland, Susan Grant and WWII veteran Christie Johnstone in front.

Second memorial for Flinders A WORLD War II memorial at Flinders Park added a special flavour to the Anzac Day ceremony. The foreshore memorial was a joint project between Mornington Peninsula Shire and Balnarring & District Community Bank branch, as well as a sub-committee of Flinders Lions, RSL, Community Association and the historical society. The sub-committee members felt

that although there was a memorial honouring Flinders WWI soldiers, it was appropriate a separate memorial be established for those who served in WWII. “We know how important this is to our Flinders veterans and the wider Mornington Peninsula community – and we want to ensure that future generations can visit this memorial and pay their respects,” the mayor Cr

Bev Colomb said. “Thanks to all the generous community groups who contributed to this thoughtful and wonderful project.” Red Hill Ward’s Cr David Gill said: “It was a pleasure working with the many Flinders organisations and community groups to see this memorial come to fruition. It is a meaningful and honourable project.”

By David Gill* NEW planning provisions have been introduced state wide by the Planning Minister, Richard Wynne, without meaningful consultation. This may lead to further degrading of town and rural character on the Mornington Peninsula. The changes seek to avoid excessive site coverage of buildings and sealed surfaces but there is a stinging tradeoff that allows new height “limits” of 11 metres in a general residential zone (GRZ). This could mean three-storey houses. The GRZ applies to all of our residential areas including coastal villages. Our planning scheme protective overlays may still apply, limiting houses to two storeys, but in areas like Rosebud, Hastings and Mornington local character is not protected by overlays and three storeys could become the norm. Mr Wynne has also broadened statewide planning provisions for permit applications called Vicsmart that deny rights of appeal and locally elected councillors the right to intervene on ratepayers’ behalf.

The first you will know about a Vicsmart development, even next door, will be when work starts. There will not even be the normal permit pending yellow sign on the subject property. Vicsmart was meant to allow for quick, 10-day processing of minor permit applications like front fences, carports and small sheds but now will apply to much larger and costly proposals, this includes a range of developments in our precious agricultural and rural areas. In our green wedge zones this means up to $250,000, $500,000 in commercial areas and $1 million in industrial areas. Council officers make all Vicsmart planning decisions. Councillors, your elected representatives, have no say on these permit applications. We often complain about the fairness of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) that hears planning appeals but now an increasing number of planning matters will be beyond any appeal at all. * David Gill is the councillor for Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Red Hill ward.

Hastings misses out on port Continued from Page 1 Shire councillors were briefed in March by Infrastructure Victoria in the lead up to the release of its latest report recommending against a container port at Hastings. The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said on Friday the council was disappointed by at the Bay West decision. The shire had seen a container port at Hastings as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;key strategic priorityâ&#x20AC;? and would keep telling the government that Hastings â&#x20AC;&#x153;is the right solutionâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The shire strongly believes that a green port should be developed to showcase â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; technology and international best practice in marine and terrestrial environmental management recognising the environmental and cultural heritage values of Western Port,â&#x20AC;? Cr Colomb said. Meanwhile, Kawasaki Heavy Industries appears to be continuing its plans to export liquid hydrogen from the Port Hastings. At the same 20 March briefing councillors were given information about by Kawasakiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;hydrogen energy supply chain proposed pilot projectâ&#x20AC;?. The shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief operating officer Alison Leighton said on Friday that Kawasaki was considering BlueScope Steelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing wharf in Hastings for its â&#x20AC;&#x153;pilot project for the production of hydrogen energy in Victoriaâ&#x20AC;?. She said the company had not applied for a

planning permit and it would also need permits from state and federal authorities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If successful, the plant project is not expected to begin operations until 2020,â&#x20AC;? Ms Leighton said. Hastings MP Neale Burgess has accused the state government of signing a secret deal with Kawasaki that could lead to â&#x20AC;&#x153;long coal trains or a coal slurry pipe bringing huge amounts of coal to Hastings, building of a huge coal gasification plant at Hastings and the produced hydrogen being shipped through Western Portâ&#x20AC;? (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Secret deal for toxic plant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; MPâ&#x20AC;? The News 24/1/17). Kawasaki says it has been negotiating with state and federal governments for six years and has never been involved in plans to process coal at Western Port. However, it is understood a pilot plant to extract gas from coal may be built at Hastings before any major construction near the source of the brown coal in the Latrobe Valley. Ironically, the French company that closed the Hazelwood powers station leading to hundreds of jobless in the Latrobe Valley is part of a consortium promoting the use of hydrogen as a power source alongside solar and wind. Engie is reported to be building a test power grid on a small island off Singapore where it will use hydrogen gas to convert power from solar panels and wind turbines into stored fuel.

Top Liberals to steer sub project STATE Liberal Party president Michael Kroger spoke at the Victorian Maritime Centre’s inaugural Governors Dinner on Wednesday 24 May at which he and two others were inducted into its governorship program. Mr Kroger, along with Liberal Party Eastern Multicultural branch president Gladys Liu and financial advisor Ian Heraud will help guide, mentor and protect the $15 million project which involves establishing a maritime museum at Hastings based around the submarine HMAS Otama (moored off Crib Point for the past 14 years) and former pilot vessel, MV Wyuna (initially destined for a birth at Docklands). Western Port Oberon Association public relations officer Annette Sanfilippo said the governors’ role was created to protect the financial and ethical interests of the project. The project includes building an interactive, entertaining and educational centre around the vessels to preserve and teach maritime history and create awareness among young people. It aims to become a major tourist destination in Western Port. Ms Sanfilippo said Oberon association president Max Bryant is working to restore and display the vessels for the community. Project patron Princess Anne commissioned HMAS Otama in 1978. It is said to be the last of the Oberon class submarines in existence. Guests toured the Hastings marina before the dinner amid a setting that reflected the history of the project and featured a 1.5-metre wooden replica

Shire spending across the board MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors are due to be briefed tonight (Tuesday 30 May) on the results of public submissions for the yet-to-be-adopted 2017/18, $212 million budget. The final budget will be adopted later in the year. The $40.21 million allocated to capital works and projects in the budget shows spending in the Briars ward is more than four times higher than that planned for Red Hill ward. Proposed spending in the shire’s six wards from highest to lowest: Briars $8.47 million; Watson $4.79m; Seawinds $3.95m; Nepean $3.87m; Cerberus $2.52m; and Red Hill $2.05m. A further $14.56m is being spent “shire wide” on capital works and priority projects.

Expo savings

of the MV Wyuna donated to the museum. Mr Bryant and Ms Sanfilippo spoke about the not-for-profit project which aims to preserve maritime history and generate tourism around Western Port.

Dennis Gist was made an honorary ambassador of the association for his promotional work and other guests included project planner Paul McGuiness, Crs Kate Roper and David Gill, John Methven of the Vietnam

Veterans’ Museum, and residents and business owners Neil Valance, Lyn Beaumont and Deb Kroger. A gift hamper presented to Mr Kroger contained produce from businesses in the region. Stephen Taylor

THE $80,000 saved over two years by axing the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s pet expo at Rosebud will go towards stopping uncontrolled breeding of cats and dogs and reuniting lost pets with their owners. The money will also go towards “easing accessibility” at the council animal shelter in Watt Rd, Mornington by foregoing the need for appointments on Saturday mornings for a sixmonth trial. The biennial expo due to be held in November has been cancelled. Pets’ campaigner Doris Campbell, said that some of the saved money will be spent on “free microchipping for [pets of] the disadvantaged ... at Capel Sound and Hastings, where most of the unclaimed pets come from”.

Author talks the walk into print WHILE many people plan a huge party when they the reach the milestone age of 60, it’s not something Somerville grandmother Margaret Caffyn contemplated (left). She had a calling to walk solo the 800 kilometre Camino trail in Spain. So what makes a successful career woman pack it all up and walk alone on one of the most historical pilgrim paths in the world? At first it was to find herself after all those years being “everyone’s someone” – mother, wife, daughter, friend and employee. “I felt I had lost myself,” Caffyn said. However, the more she delved into the journey, the more she realised it was actually “a calling”. “It called me in a spiritual way. When this happens, you have no control and you realise that it is no longer your decision, you have to answer the call,” she says in her book. “I found myself being swept up in a spiritual way that I had never experienced before. I felt that I was reminiscing … that I had already walked this path, perhaps in a previous life. It felt so familiar.

“I pondered about the thousands of feet that had trudged along the path, the Romans, Napoleon’s troops, priests, thieves and robbers, but mostly the devoted Catholic pilgrims. I was humbled. I could almost feel their energy seeping up through the ground and into my feet.” The further along the rocky roads Caffyn walked, the less time she spent thinking about her home, her job and her life which she had thought was on track, like most women her age. While on long service leave from her secure role as administration manager to a bayside doctor, she soon realised that there was another corner to turn. She returned home, left her job and started on a new journey. Caffyn will discuss her adventure, answer questions and meet others who braved the walk at her book launch, 4-6pm, Sunday 4 June, at the Wholesome Nest Cafe, 642 Nepean Highway, Carrum. $1 from every ticket sold will go to Motor Neurone Disease (Victoria) in memory of Caffyn’s husband, and also his father, who passed away from the disease.

Green light for shire bus contract Western Port

PENINSULA Transport Assist will have its Mornington Peninsula Shire bus contract renewed for a further two years following high customer satisfaction and projected cost savings. The shire’s sustainable transport project coordinator Rita Kontos, in a report to last week’s council meeting, said that an evaluation of community bus hire outsourcing over the past 12 months had proven positive.

Let’s talk! How do you move around in Somers? We’re keen to hear your thoughts on what facilities, if any, you would like to improve walking, cycling and pedestrian movement in Somers. Whatever your views are on footpaths, crossings, pedestrian safety, mobility restrictions… Council wants to listen.

Tell us your ideas!

Four criteria were used in the assessment: increase in use against previous 12 months; diversity of users (youth, aged, disabled); customer satisfaction, and cost benefits. Ms Kontas said the shire saved $13,000 by outsourcing the bus hire operations. “Forward projections indicate this amount will increase due to an increase in bookings and a minor increase in bus booking fees.”

The shire leases two community buses for community groups, schools, and not-for-profit organisations to transport clients to activities and services. “The overall usage results indicate that increased demand over the last five months will result in an increase in forward revenue which will positively influence the cost benefits over the next 12 months,” Ms Kontos said.

Cool climate wines have appeal for judges A WINE from Nazaaray Estate, Flinders, won the People’s Choice Award at the 17th Cool Climate Wine Show at Mornington Racecourse last week. The Meakins Rd winery’s reserve pinot noir 2015 was judged best in its class. More than 540 wines – up 30 per cent on last year – were judged by a 16-member team chaired by master of wine Meg Brodtmann. The 29 classes include sparkling wines, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot gris, pinot grigio, riesling, pinot noir, shiraz and two new Italian classes. “It is good for the region to host these winemakers and judges and to give our local wineries a wonderful opportunity to benchmark their wines against other cool climate wines from

Australia and overseas,” organiser Alva Hemming said. Foxeys Hangout, of White Hill Rd, Red Hill, had dual success. Its sparkling white was judged Best Mornington Peninsula White, while its Scotsworth Farm pinot noir 2016 was judged Best Mornington Peninsula Red. Merricks Estate, of Thompsons Lane, Merricks, won Best Chardonnay 2014. The judges’ award for best vintage overall went to Shaw Vineyard Estate Reserve, Merriman, Canberra, for its cabernet sauvignon 2015. “The Cool Climate Wine Show is internationally recognised as Australia’s foremost show for cool climate wines,” project manager Rebecca Da-

vis said. “Many are from smaller vineyards where grapes are handpicked and wines handcrafted by winemakers with a passion for exploring terroir and the true expression of the grape. “It gives winemakers an opportunity to benchmark in a show where like is judged against like, where elegant wines with restrained fruit are seen at their best, and where diversity is encouraged and rewarded. “The peninsula’s wine retailers, restaurateurs, sommeliers, cellar door staff, wine educators and wine enthusiasts see the show as an opportunity to taste an extraordinary breadth and depth of cool climate wines.” At a public tasting and awards dinner on Friday night wine lovers had the chance to sample wines from

2013-16 (and older vintages in some classes), compared wines of the same grape variety from different regions, and assessed wines from specific regions and vintages. Other winners: Best Italian Wine: Vinosalvo Vignailio Maremma Toscana Levitas Sangiovese 2015 Best Italian Varietal (Aus/NZ): Hollick The Gondolier Barbera 2014 Best White Wine in Show: Soumah of Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2016 Best Red Wine in Show: Berrigan Mount Benson/Robe Syrah 2015 Best Wine in Show: Soumah of Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2016 Best Sparkling: Brown Brothers ‘Patricia’ King Valley Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2010

Change beach off-leash rules to suit the season McCrae Beach has a sign stating you cannot have your dog off lead until 5pm after the end of daylight savings which lasts six months. I’m allowed to walk my dog off lead during daylight saving times after 7pm when there can be hundreds of people on the beach. If I want to take my dog for a run of the beach she must be on a lead. She is a much loved dog, very well socialised, obedient animal, who is loved by everybody, especially the beachgoers who stop me constantly to pat her or have her photo taken with their children. What chance does she have to run, chase a ball, swim, or interact with other dogs on a lead? In winter it is quite often dark around 4pm. My father fought for this country, so we could be free. As a keen dog owner he would be appalled at this rule. Mornington Peninsula Shire is failing in its duty of care by creating an unsafe situation. You cannot see any hazards, or other people or dogs at this time of day. For six months of the year we are obligated to follow the rules. I have no problem with that, the beachgoers and holidaymakers deserve this. The rule should be either abandoned or changed to say after 1pm. As an old age pensioner I’m encouraged to stay active and to keep up my social skills. I can walk on the Bay Trail any time, as long as my dog is on a lead. If I want to let her run loose on an abandoned beach I’m somehow breaking the law. Ron Moore (and “Gloria”), Rosebud

Fees concern

ing advantage of people’s unhealthy addiction. (“History ignored” Letters 16/5/17). If the club has donated close to $1 million back to the community, how much has it taken off the unfortunate. I have played the pokies but am not addicted, not like some I know whose families have suffered. Perhaps the councillors and executive office of the Mornington Peninsula Shire have some of their relatives among those who have suffered. Good on them. John C Buckwell, Crib Point

Comfort by The Eagle I thank Nigel Atkins for highlighting that the new Parks Victoria ‘Changing Places’ amenities block at the base of Arthurs Seat has been recognised in the 2017 Total Facilities awards. This was only the third such facility in the state, the first on or near the Mornington Peninsula and is well known throughout the disability community (“Loo without view” Letters 2/5/17). Unfortunately Mr Atkins appears to think that it can only be used by patrons of the Arthurs Seat Eagle. Not at all. Adjacent to the amenities block is a free and modern car park (including disabled parking) and many in the disability community are well aware that they are welcome to use it as they wish (and as they do). We at The Eagle are pleased that we are able to provide a wonderful cable car experience that brings much pleasure to everyone including those living with a disability. Accessibility is important to us. We are also delighted that Parks Victoria has erected, on adjacent land and conveniently close to the peninsula freeway, a progressive toilet facility for public use. This is a terrific example of how a public private partnership can work for

I read with interest your article “Centres ‘talks are not negotiations’” (The Times 22/5/17). I am a rate paying Frankston resident and regular PARC (Peninsula Aquatic Centre) user. The PARC centre is an outstanding facility and a great asset to our community. Your comment that $352,000 is budgeted by Frankston Council for “directors fees (PARC)” raises many questions. Please continue your inquiries. Jennifer Dicker, Frankston

Budget confusion I am both confused and concerned regarding Martin Dixon’s recent comments about the state budget. On the 16 May (“Missing in budget” Letters) he states that in his analysis the Mornington Peninsula received nothing. However, on 23 May (“Students’ bus here to stay” The News) he states that the budget includes permanent funding and extension of services for bus route 887. Did he forget to put on his glasses when reading the budget earlier? Of significant concern is the pride he exhibits in having “dragged the Andrew’s government kicking and screaming”. As a Member of Parliament why would you advocate violent methods particularly given the Labor state government’s leading initiative of a royal commission into family violence and commitment to all recommendations. Are his stated methods merited, given that the budget allocated the required funds prior to even the completion of the trials extension? Jane Clarke, Rosebud

Polly speak Comedy? I was amused by Martin Dixon’s letter (“Missing in budget” 16/5/17) referring to [Premier Daniel Andrews’] budget contribution to the Mornington Peninsula ($0) and attributed it to either a memory loss on Martin’s part through

the ageing process or simply that our former education minister was in stirring mode, surely the latter? I decided not to respond as it was near enough to certain one John Cain would attend to it admirably, as was the case, albeit with no hope of his suggestion in making the electorate marginal at the next election (“Marginal pays off” Letters 23/5/17). If Danny loses the next election maybe Matthew Guy will see the light, as indeed pigs may fly. Perhaps the upgrade of the Rye shopping precinct as suggested for the past 20 years? Always nice to hear from Brian A Mitchelson explaining away other reader’s interpretations of his contributions (“Against the wind” Letters 23/5/17). Clifford W Ellen, Rye

Give and take Martin Dixon’s letter (“Missing in budget” 16/5/17) manages to claim there is $0 in the 2017/18 Victorian budget for the peninsula while simultaneously taking credit for the funding given by the Andrews government for the Peninsula Bus service. The government committed almost $2 billion in the budget to preventing and responding to family violence, a historic response to one of our community’s greatest challenges. This funding will significantly enhance service delivery for vulnerable families across the peninsula. As well as a further $50 million over the coming two years for the Growing Suburbs Fund, which will help to support community infrastructure provided by Mornington Peninsula Shire. The Andrews government is investing $300 million to complete the Mordialloc bypass which will directly benefit residents of the peninsula while continuing to create jobs at more than double the rate of the previous government.

is truly needs-based and fair. How our plan will benefit schools is at education.gov.au/qualityschools and clicking through to the schools funding estimator. Chris Crewther, MP for Dunkley

All schools benefit

Australia unsuitable

I am writing to contest the schools’ “data” provided by the Daniel Andrew’s State Labor Government (“Schools’ budget gain and claims” The News 15/5/17). Contrary to state Labor’s claims every school from every sector in the electorate of Dunkley will receive an increase in funding under the Coalition’s needs-based fairer Gonski education reforms. State Labor’s publication of figures based on the “Better schools funding” 2013 election promise from the former Labor federal government, incorrectly indicates there are cuts in store for schools in Dunkley. These figures are entirely false considering Labor’s election promise was never legislated, never implemented and never funded. Despite these deceitful cries claiming there are severe cuts in store for our schools, all 51 schools in Dunkley will receive a funding increase under the federal Coalition’s plan from their current funding levels. For example: Mornington Secondary College will receive $229,300 more in 2018 and $14,172,500 more by 2027; Frankston High School $233,000 and then $14,405,400; Mt Eliza Secondary College $74,300 and $4,589,800; Mt Erin Secondary College $149,500 and $9,237,900; Kingsley Park Primary School $50,600 and $3,131,500; Langwarrin Primary School $68,900 and $4,255,800; Elisabeth Murdoch College $247,600 and $15,303,500. Our plan invests $331 million more in needsbased funding into Dunkley schools over the next four years. We’re delivering long-term funding certainty for schools and communities and ensuring everybody is treated fairly and equitably. Our plan factors in the background, family life, levels of disability and socio-economic status of each student and school to ensure funding

I nearly choked on my cereal when I heard the Foreign Minister Julie Bishop was vying Australia should have a seat on the human rights’ committee in the United Nations. Was it fake news? No, apparently it is true. What a cheek. While we keep refugees and asylum seekers locked up in the most inhumane circumstances on Manus Island and Nauru is, in my opinion, a violation of human rights. The unimaginable pain and angst of these people not knowing where they will end up or even live. Given the tragic deaths of several of them, either through violence or medical neglect, Australia is not worthy of a seat on the human rights committee, disgracefully the ALP remains silent on these matters. Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Curtailing cancer The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared 31 May “World No Tobacco Day”. Bravo. We’ve known about the link between smoking and cancer for more than 60 years and any opportunity to remind people to quit is welcome. Meat, which is much more widely consumed than cigarettes, can also be deadly. The WHO ranks processed meats as group 1 carcinogens – bacon, ham, and sausages are now in the same category as asbestos, alcohol, arsenic, and tobacco as a major cause of cancer, while red meat more generally is in the 2A “probably carcinogenic” category. The International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded that each 50-gram portion of processed meat eaten daily increases a person’s risk of developing colorectal cancer by 18 per cent. Research also shows that meat-eaters are about 40 per cent more likely to get cancer than people who eat plant-based foods. Laura Weyman-Jones, PETA Australia

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Three Frankston men killed in action in France

Compiled by Cameron McCullough WE note that Mr and Mrs Masterton, have donated another £100 to the Red Cross Funds. *** MR Percy Fuller, of the Peninsula Motor Garage Pty. Ltd., Mornington branch, was married at Glen Huntly last week. *** THE Somerville Red Cross Society intend holding a concert on Saturday next, 9th June, when a first class programme will be rendered by St. Stephens’ Choir and their talented singers. *** THE Australian Club invite all members to “Clarendon” House, Frankston, on Sunday, 10th June, on the occasion of entertaining 100 returned soldiers. *** MESSRS Eric McLeod, W. H. Rennick, and C. W. Johnson, all Frankston property owners, we regret to say, have been killed in action in France. *** A GENERAL meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association will be held on Monday evening next, when the following business will be brought forward. Election of trustee, leasing of show ground, and general. *** ONE hundred and fifty returned sick and wounded soldiers will be entertained at luncheon at 2 o’clock this (Saturday) afternoon, in the Somerville Mechanics’ Hall, by the ladies of the local Red Cross Society. The Langwarrin Band will play selections during the afternoon. ***

WE hear that a big effort is being made locally, to induce one of Frankston’s leading, and most respected residents, to allow himself to be nominated to contest a seat in the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council. *** A VERY successful social on behalf of the Frankston Methodist Church Trust was given by the young folk of the church on Saturday evening last. Miss Purvis occupied the chair. The School Hall was well filled and a very enjoyable time was spent. The programme was contributed to by Misses Croskell, Barber, Carr, G. Twining and Goodie and Messrs Barber and Marchant. Miss F. Tonkin played the accompaniments. There were a number of amusing competitions which created considerable interest. Advantage was taken to “farewell” Lance Corporal F. Bray who is about to proceed to the front. Rev. E. Tonkin on behalf of the Sunday School Teachers presented him with a Khaki-bound bible; and on behalf of a number of friends, with a fountain pen and leather belt. At the conclusion, the young folks handed around refreshments. *** ON Tuesday evening Mr J. Holley nurseryman, residing at Mornington Junction, was crossing the railway line near the junction of Cranbourne and main Gippsland roads, when a goods train crashed into the vehicle he was driving. Holley was found to be seriously injured, and was conveyed to Miss Cambell’s private hospital at Dandenong. He is suffering from internal injuries

and several fractured ribs. His condition is reported to be critical. *** EMPIRE Day was celebrated at the Mount Eliza State School on the 24th inst. The children, after saluting the flag went through a number of exercises most creditably, under the leadership of Miss Poultnap, the head teacher. The Rev A. P. M’Farlone and Mr Wall suitably addressed the children, after which a programme of sports was gone through, prizes for which were subscribed for on the ground to the amount of over £2, Mr A. Davey generously donating 10s 6d towards that object, and also acting as judge for the different events, Messrs Dixon and Walker doing the handicapping. A successful social was held in the schoolroom in the evening, carried out by the school committee, at which a sale of surplus donations was held, realising 17s 6d, making a total of £2 6s which was raised during the day for the benefit of the British Red Cross fund. *** AMERICA promises to be one of our best Allies in this great war. Her huge organised resources will help up considerably to victory. Mr J. D. Rockfellow. the Oil Magnate and head of the Standard Oil Coy., last week took out two further bonds in the Liberty War Loan, bring his subscription to date to the huge sum of £25,000,000. *** A SUBSCRIPTION list has been opened is several of the business places inFrankston for the purpose of making a suitable presentation to Mr C. P. Wat-

son, who has been manager of the local branch of the State Savings Bank for the past five years. Mr Watson took his departure for Sale at the begining of the week, to which branch he has been promoted. *** THE “Wattle’’ Club advertise that the first of a series of euchre parties will commence on Thursday evening next. Prizes for the tournament are donated by Mrs Deane and Mrs Moloney. A dance will be held at the conclusion of the card playing, so that it will be advisable to commence the euchre at eight o’clock. Supper will be provided and a good evening’s enjoyment is assured. A dance, in aid of the “Anzac Buffet” will be held this (Saturday) evening. Every thing is being done to ensure a successful entertainment. Music, supper and floor will all be of the best. *** FORESHORE PRIVILEGES. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,–It is with disgust and no little amusement that I read the silly, childish letters written and Published in the “ Standard.” The letters are like spoilt children quarreling over a toy. Fault is found with Mr G. E. Thomas’ motor house. Well it is no eye sore and in no one’s way. It does not obstruct the roadway, and Mr Thomas pays the Council the fee charged for permission to erect it on the foreshore. Then comes a novel bathing box and boathouse, belonging to Mr Anderson. It again is no eye sore to any beach, and it is enough to make people never visit our picturesque Frankston, when they

look along the beach and see such a lot of dilapidated looking affairs arrayed in no straight line. Mr Utber complains of people feasting on the beach at their bathing boxes. Well, it is much over the odds if people cannot have morning tea, afternoon tea, or any other meal on the beach that they please. I always understood that the beach was a free pleasure ground for everyone. Then again, Mr Utber or Mr Atcheson do not pay for either a boathouse or a bathing box. I have seen Mr Utber crossing the Mornington road (a much used road by the public) in his bathing suit, without either kimono or dressing gown on. Well now, if any one was to do such a thing in the town or near it, they would be very soon stopped. What I think of all this quarreling about such a trifle as these picturesque boat and bathing houses on the beach is that these worthy gentlemen, not paying a boat or bathinghouse fee, think they will stir up our quiet little town to fight. They are not content with the peaceful shores of Australia. They want fight. Well, if such is the case, let them leave our peaceful Australia and its folk in peace and go and take their paces alongside our brave boys, and do their bit of fighting in France with the rifle in their hands (that is if they have the pluck). If not, obey the commandments, and love your neighbours yourself, and live at peace with all the world A SOLDIER’S WIFE. May 30th, 1917. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 2 June 1917

Wide, welcoming timber decks at the front and back of the home greatly accentuate the sense of living space, and the delightful front yard with well-tended gardens is securely fenced for pets.

updated with full use made of the available space. The two bedrooms feature floor-to-ceiling mirrored built-in robes and share the contemporary family bathroom, the stylish lounge room is flooded with natural light that gleams off the polished timber floors and from the dining area is a surprisingly spacious kitchen with an excellent amount of cupboard space. For first home dreamers, downsizers and investors, ‘The Cottage’ is a true slice of Mornington magic.

Redlegs make a statement PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt MT ELIZA was able to put a tough week behind it and get back on the winners’ list in superb fashion on Saturday, steam rolling Karingal. It was a rough week for the Redlegs with one of their young stars Brodie Shaw going down in the final quarter last week with a compound fracture of his leg. However, with a successful surgery and a few days to recover behind them, the Redlegs were able to focus on the job at hand on Saturday and put Karingal to the sword. Kicking with the wind in the first quarter at Frankston Park, the Redlegs were able to boot six goals to zip and should have been further ahead than 41 points after having 13 scoring shots to two. In the third quarter with Justin Van Unen (eight goals), Dan Gormley (three goals), Shaun Knott and Jimmy Freeman all dominating in attack, the Redlegs were able to ram on another nine goals with the wind and go on to record a 19.12 (126) to 7.7 (49) win. Karingal has been a well-structured, competitive team this season and has pushed the best, however, Mt Eliza was at a different level on Saturday.

Pines’ Aaron Edwards made it 17 goals in two matches and 31 for the season when he booted eight majors against Chelsea. The Pythons dominated across four quarters and were able to stop Chelsea’s three game winning streak. Guy Hendry controlled the match across half back and Corey Ash has taken his game to a new level since being given run with roles. He has taken some big scalps, including Joel Miller and Michael Burke. Pines booted eight goals to zip in the opening quarter and went on to win 21.12 (138) to 10.9 (69). Seaford set up an exciting RPP Match of the Day top of the table clash against Pines next weekend with another impressive victory on Saturday, this time against Edithvale-Aspendale. Only four points separated the sides at half time before the Tigers came out after the long break, booting 10 goals to six to win 16.17 (113) to 12.10 (82). Dean Williamson was superb with four goals, Damien Rayson was dominant once again and Matt McCormack helped himself to four goals also. Liam Harris and Callan Vandyke were the best of the Eagles. Mornington’s season is officially over after Bonbeach led all day to win

14.7 (91) to 10.5 (65). The difference between the sides was Bonbeach’s ability to take advantage of the wind advantage and then keep pressing when it was game on in the final term. With just seven points separating the sides at three quarter time, Shane McDonald booted two goals and Darcy James and Lachy Stenning hit the scoreboard too in the last to take the game away from the Dogs. Beau Bailey was a welcome return from the VFL for the Sharks and Justin Bennett and Dylan Jones were at their best also. Kieran Bird and Michael Gay were the best of the Dogs. Frankston YCW bounced back after a disappointing game last week and completed the expected and beat Langwarrin, 13.13 (91) to 6.10 (46). Josh Butland booted four and Kyle Hutchison dominated for the Stonecats while Matty LaFontaine returned from Collingwood and impressed after kicking a goal with the Pies last week. Gerard Brown and Kieran Albanese booted three and two goals respectively while Shane Paterson was once again the Kangas’ best.

Taking flight: Despite this big grab, Edithvale-Aspendale went down to Seaford Tigers by 31 points. Picture: Andrew Hurst

The upsets continue in Nepean Division NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt THE evenness and unpredictability of the 2017 Nepean Division season continued on Saturday. Rosebud caused the upset of the round when it headed to the home of reigning premier Hastings and touched them up to the tune of 41 points. The Buds enjoy the open spaces of Thomas Barclay Oval and the ground holds no fear for them, given their great record there over the past few years. It proved to be the case from the opening bounce on Saturday. Rosebud really set up its win in the second quarter when it was able to defend well against the breeze and go into the long break with a 16 point lead. With the wind in the third, the Buds were able to extend the lead to 27 points and with the wind dying down in last, put the opposition to the sword and kicked away to enjoy a convincing 12.15 (87) to 6.10 (46) win. Perhaps Hastings started to drink their own bath water on the back of some impressive victories. A total of 27 scoring shots to just 16 highlighted Rosebud’s domination. Anyone thinking Rosebud isn’t quite at the level were reminded on Saturday that it’s still well and truly in the mix. Keegan Downie was sensational with four goals, Ben Dwyer was at his best in the ruck and dominated Josh Mulheron and Greg Bentley was his usual ‘Rolls Royce’ self. Stevey Robb with three goals was the best of the Blues. Rye’s Ben Winters-Kerr went out of football in the best possible way on Saturday, booting four goals as his team knocked over Devon Meadows in another upset. The Meadows, who again forfeited Under 19s, have shown pretty good form in the past month and were ex-

pected to win. However, in Winters-Kerr’s 200th and final senior game, Rye dominated across four quarters, winning 16.8 (104) to 9.12 (66). Winters-Kerr became only the 10th player in the club’s history to play 200. With a new look, young side, I would think beating Devon at Devon would have been one of the most satisfying wins the club has experienced in recent memory. Pearcedale booted the opening three goals of the game with the wind against Red Hill on Saturday. It took until the 15-minute mark of the final quarter for the Panthers to kick their fourth.

In the meantime, the Hillmen bangedon 21 goals and humiliated the opposition in front of their own crowd, 21.17 (143) to 4.12 (36). Make no mistake, this was a new low for Pearcedale coach Leigh Stewart, who was confident his side could get the job done against the Hillmen. The fact is the clubs are poles apart. To make matters worse, former Pearcedale players Dylan Hoare and Chris Irving dominated for the Hillmen, booting two goals each and controlling the game throughout. In another upset, Dromana headed to Crib Point and not only won, but belted

the home team by almost 100 points, 22.17 (149) to 9.12 (66). Sam Fowler was back from Northern Bullants and booted four while Ethan Johnstone and Sam Guerts dominated. In the final game, Sorrento played one outstanding quarter of football and it was enough to beat Somerville by 43 points, 16.14 (110) to 9.13 (67). The Eagles trailed by 11 points at half time despite having four more scoring shots and in the final quarter, they booted five goals to three. The problem was, it allowed Sorrento to boot 7.8 to 1.2 in the third quarter and blow them away.

Sorrento skipper James Hallahan was the best player on the ground, providing enormous drive from half back, Nick Corp marked everything that came near him in attack and Chris Dawes kicked a sensational right foot snap goal against the boundary line after sharking it from the ruck. The Eagles’ aren’t that far away but height is a major issue for them, as is a lack of concentration for periods of time. In better news for the Eagles, there were rumours around the ground that key forward Luke Rowe may return, while Justin Farrelly may come back sooner than expected.

Brilliant Belger wins it for Langy, Eagles finally fly SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie TWO goals in the final two minutes gave Langwarrin a stunning 2-1 win over Mornington in Saturday’s derby at Dallas Brooks Park. Connor Belger’s 91st minute strike was a goal for the ages and left Mornington players and fans gobsmacked. Langwarrin had equalised in the 90th minute after Alex Metcalfe’s curled strike from the left. The ball eluded Liam Baxter’s attempted header and deflected off Mornington stopper Steve Elliott before sneaking inside the far post. A minute later Langy keeper Robbie Acs gathered then launched a long kick downfield. Belger trapped the ball inside his attacking half then surged forward before unleashing a 30-metre strike that sailed over Mornington keeper Kris McEvoy who was at full stretch and into an unguarded goal. The remarkable strike triggered a celebration among the Langy faithful that released the emotions built up over recent years from playing second fiddle to Adam Jamieson’s outfit. And when the final whistle sounded Langwarrin had beaten Mornington for just the second time in 11 games and surged seven points clear of second-placed Caulfield United in the race to win the championship and clinch a spot in Victoria’s elite National Premier League. Mornington had suffered a setback prior to the kick-off when captain Simon Webster failed a fitness test. He was replaced in the starting line-up by Josh Valadon, returning from injury, with Nico Georgopoulos replacing Valadon on the bench. Langy was without captain Boris Ovcin who was on holiday in Las Vegas, Caleb Nicholes was interstate, John Guthrie was suspended and gun central defender Kieron Kenny was still recovering from a quad injury. Mornington looked threatening from the outset. Ryan Paczkowski’s pace and guile was evident in the early exchanges and Langy coach Gus Macleod was forced to rejig his defence with Nick Thorogood marking the dangerous Wayne Gordon. Mornington should have hit the front in the 32nd minute but Paul Speed and Lewis Foster combined to clear Elliott’s header off the line. In the 39th minute Belger’s left foot strike from just outside the area was mistimed and flashed wide and a minute later Andy McIntyre’s intercept fell to Paczkowski whose low leftfoot shot beat Acs for the opener. In the 43rd minute Belger missed

a great chance to level but he headed just wide following a Thorogood cross. Paczkowski should have stretched Mornington’s lead three minutes into the second half after a defensive blunder but he shot into the side netting from close range. Aaran Currie’s free kick in the 59th minute glanced off Valadon’s head and onto the bar before being scrambled clear and in the 64th minute Jack Truelove’s cross from the left found Matty Wade unmarked at the far post but he headed wide. With five minutes of normal time left Belger’s shot in the 85th minute was blocked, substitute Nabil Mozaffarrudin headed down from the rebound but McEvoy parried Metcalfe’s shot from 10 metres. Mornington substitute Nathan Smith curled his 88th minute attempt just wide of the far post before Metcalfe and Belger turned this contest on its head.

Saturday 27 May 2017 is an historic day for Somerville Eagles who won their first league game in State 5 South by beating White Star Dandenong 3-0 at Greaves Reserve. For posterity the Eagles’ line-up was Neil Herd, Ciaran McConville, Kevin McCormack, Matthew Swanson, Mark McIvor, Joel Wade, Jarryd Lymer, Damien Finnegan, Alex Colville, Patrick Acha, Liam Morgan. Substitutes: Ryan Francis, Mathew Roach, James McKenzie, Bailey Henderson. Lymer (19th and 29th minutes) and McIvor (51st) were the goalscorers and immediately became Eagles immortals. “Finally we got the win. The song was sung with gusto let me tell you,” said an excited Eagles president and assistant coach Felix Arena. Eagles’ striker Eric Manahong has recovered from injury and is expected to come into the matchday squad for Saturday’s home game at Barber

Reserve against Rowville Eagles. Frankston Pines went down 3-2 to Beaumaris at Beaumaris Reserve in Saturday’s State 2 South-East clash. Cedric Permal scored his first goal for Pines in the 35th minute and substitute Ioasa Saemo was played in by Jack Wrobel in the 72nd minute and finished well. Beaumaris striker Toby Nowell notched a hat-trick. Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United found another way to drop points late in the game when it lost 2-1 away to Old Scotch in their State 2 South-East fixture last weekend. The sides were deadlocked at the interval after a first half in which the home side transitioned quickly whenever it won possession while Seaford took a more conservative approach playing into the wind. Three minutes into the second half Old Scotch hit the front after a poor pass from Matty Morris-Thomas allowed Piotr Korczyk to skip clear and sidefoot the ball past Seaford keeper Harrison Burgess. In the 70th minute a long high ball into the attacking half caught out the Old Scotch defenders appealing for offside against a Seaford striker who made no attempt to attack the ball. Alex Roberts broke clear and rounded Old Scotch keeper James Toulson before making it 1-1. In the 78th minute Seaford failed to deal with a corner and Sam Shearer got the final touch for what proved to be the winner. Peninsula Strikers won 1-0 at home against Heatherton United in a State 2 South-East fixture last weekend thanks to a 36th minute Sam Scott goal. Skye United lost 4-2 to ladder leader and championship favourite Knox City in their State 3 SouthEast contest at Egan Lee Reserve on Saturday. Skye kicked off proceedings in less than a minute when Daniel Attard’s toe-poke sent Jason Nowakowski clear and he finished well to put the visitors ahead. However Knox prevailed for the rest of the half and deservedly went into the shed 3-1 up with goals from Nem Verscharen (18th minute), Phil Hawkins (24th), and Matthew Hames (30th). Knox continued to dominate in the second half and Sam Wheeler made it 4-1 after finishing off a cutback inside the six-yard box. Skye made it more of a contest in the last half an hour and was rewarded in the 69th minute after Attard beat the offside trap following a through

ball from Jacob Scotte-Hatherly to complete the scoreline. Baxter had to settle for a 2-2 away draw against Harrisfield Hurricanes in last weekend’s State 4 South fixture. Mark Pagliarulo shielded the ball then turned and hit a firm shot that gave Baxter the lead in the 15th minute but goals to Ilias Tzintzis (21st minute)and Tasos Psonis (26th) gave the home side the upper hand. In the 38th minute Pagliarulo was felled inside the area and converted from the spot to make it 2-2. Baxter had chances to claim all three points in the second half but failed to convert. Five Harrisfield players were cautioned while Baxter’s sole transgressor was new signing Edin Aljija from Springvale City. Alan Lipsett from Rosebud Heart also made his Baxter debut. David Greening’s fourth hat-trick in five games powered Rosebud Heart to a 5-1 away win over Hampton Park United in their State 4 South clash on Saturday. Blad Klarenbeek was in goal for Heart deputising for Sean Skelly who had joined the holiday exodus to Las Vegas. In the 21st minute Greening’s long run cutting in from the right ended when he was felled inside the area and he scored from the penalty spot. A fine interpassing move in the 29th minute involving Chris Sibson, Mikey Turner and Blake Hicks was finished by Greening to make it 2-0 and six minutes later Cory Osorio let fly from outside the area and a slight deflection made it 3-0. Greening completed his hat-trick in the 52nd minute and turned provider four minutes later with a far post ball that enabled skipper Daniel Hodge to slide in and finish. Beau Sharpe took down an opponent inside the area in the 81st minute and although Klarenbeek saved the initial penalty attempt and the rebound he couldn’t stop Matthew Esquivel a third time. This weekend’s games: SATURDAY 3pm: Clifton Hill v Langwarrin (Quarries Park), Malvern City v Mornington (Kooyong Park), Frankston Pines v Heatherton Utd (Monterey Reserve), Berwick City v Seaford Utd (Jack Thomas Reserve), Skye Utd v Collingwood City (Skye Recreation Reserve), Baxter v Monash Uni (Baxter Park), Rosebud Heart v Harrisfield Hurricanes (Truemans Road Reserve), Somerville Eagles v Rowville Eagles (Barber Reserve).

Local football clubs stamp out smoking By Ben Triandafillou IT’S been a year since the Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League announced their smoke-free initiative and now local football clubs along the Mornington Peninsula will be following in their footsteps. Football clubs along the Peninsula will stand together to remove smoking at both junior and senior levels ahead of the ‘World No Tobacco Day’ on 31 May. Working towards becoming smoke free, AFL South East and its leagues, Frankston District Junior Football League (FDJFL) and Mornington Peninsula Football Netball League (MPNFL), have teamed up with Peninsula Health, St Kilda Football Club, Good Sports, Frankston City Council and Mornington Peninsula Shire. All senior clubs including Seaford, Pines, Frankston YCW, Mornington, Red Hill, Edithvale-Aspendale, Pearcedale, Dromana and Crib Point will be stamping out smoking everywhere at their clubs, except for one designated area for the Quit Challenge Round on 3 June. “Going smoke-free and banning smoking in all areas except one is a significant achievement for these senior clubs,” said Andie Murphy, health promotion practitioner at Peninsula Health. “I congratulate all of the clubs for signing the Frankston Mornington Peninsula Smoke Free Charter and working to create a healthier environment for their players, supporters and the community.” In some pockets of the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston region, smoking rates range from 21%-30% compared to the Victorian average of 13%. The Seaford Football Club will be hosting the Quit Challenge Round on Saturday 3 June at their senior oval and on Sunday 4 June at their junior oval. Seaford Football Club President Dale O’Neil said the club is committed to making the footy a fun and safe day out for families and the local community. “Footy and smoking isn’t a good mix – it’s not good for players or supporters to be around which is why we signed onto the smoke-free charter and implemented a designated smoking area,” said Mr O’Neil. The efforts of all these clubs and the importance of creating smoke-free environments will be celebrated at the Quit Challenge Round with gates open to the public.

Padua College’s cross-country feat continues By Ben Triandafillou PADUA College continued their winning streak at the Southern Independent Secondary Schools (SIS) Cross-Country Championships with their 30th consecutive victory on Tuesday 23 May. With a team of close to 140 students, Padua managed to win ten of the 12 events, finishing runners-up in the other two events at Baxter Park. To top off the feat of 30-consecutiveyears, Padua was able to win all the major aggregate shields including the junior, the intermediate, the senior, the overall girls, the overall boys and the overall aggregate shields. Padua College’s cross-country coach,

Terry Luppino, said that it’s the culture that they have built over the years that has made the greatest difference. “It really started from the original coach, Mr Morgan Morris, and we have just continued to build the culture that he started and continued regular training and a cross-country camp that binds the team together,” Mr Luppino said. “He was a very accomplished runner himself and ran against some of the legends of running like Herb Elliott and such, and he really started to get the ball rolling.” “It has sort of snowballed from there.” Padua attends a camp at Golden

Valleys Lodge in Flinders each year which Mr. Luppino says has definitely benefited the students. “We’ve been going to the camp for about 15 years which is a fantastic venue and the lady who owns the place, Andrea, really looks after us,” Mr. Luppino said. “She’s become part of the team as we go there so often.” Mr Morgan Morris still joins the students on the camps and at the SIS Championships to support and motivate the runners. “It’s always great to see him there and I guess the kids sort of feed off it,” Mr Luppino said.

Gridiron club makes waves Country club cause: Jeanette Horsley (left) from Southern Peninsula Youth Services with Eileen Naylor RCC Ladies President.

Rosebud Country Club raises money for youth The Shark Tank: Peninsula Sharks training at their home ground in preparation for the 2018 season.

By Ben Triandafillou A MORNINGTON Peninsula-based Gridiron club is looking to provide the area with the first and only Gridiron club on the Peninsula since 2009. Currently based in Carrum Downs, the Peninsula Sharks was formed in early-January and is currently in a recruitment phase. The Peninsula Sharks are hoping to have teams entered in the 2018 Gridiron Victoria league, but co-founder Garry Smith said, that the club will have a different ‘feel’. “We want to start fresh and put new games in place because some teams have the stigma that it’s just a boys club but being a young dad with two kids we want to make it more of a

family orientated sport,” Smith said. “We want to remove the idea of Gridiron being a dangerous, hard-hitting sport where the blokes would go out afterwards and have some drinks, to a more family-friendly sport where you can bring your kids down and enjoy the game.” Since the Southern Seahawks folded in 2009, the Mornington Peninsula has been without a Gridiron team. With the closest Gridiron club for people on the Peninsula being in Pakenham and Cheltenham, the Peninsula Sharks want to provide players on the Mornington Peninsula with a club located closer to home. “We floated the idea in October last year as it’s a bit of an untapped re-

source on the Peninsula,” Smith said. “We were there at the start of the Seahawks in 2003 and we wanted to get back into it as we just have a passion for the game.” “Some of the founding members and I live down here and don’t want to travel to Clayton or Monash.” The Peninsula Sharks had their first training session at Ballam Park, Frankston on Saturday 22 April where more than thirty people turned-up to watch and play. The Sharks are currently training on a Saturday afternoon between 11:30 am and 2:00 pm at Banyan Reserve, Carrum Downs until their new ground at The Sands is ready for play. “We are getting some lights put in

with our new sponsors at The Sands Hotel so that we can have weeknight trainings,” Smith said. “We are recruiting for all teams and we’ll keep training and developing the sides to hopefully put in a team for next year.” “There are four leagues, the Junior Varsity league which is for kids between 11 and 15 years old, the Junior Colts which is for boys aged between 15-19 years old, the Senior Men’s which is 19 plus and the Women’s league which is 16 plus.” If you are interested in joining the Sharks or just want to have a try call Garry Smith on 0431 681 318 or visit their website at www.peninsulasharks.com/.

AFL South East wants restructure By Toe Punt IN two months’ time, AFL South East will deliver recommendations that are likely to re-shape the current structure of Nepean and Peninsula football. Since April, AFL South East Region General Manager John Anderson and his team have been consulting with clubs throughout the region, which has included clubs in the SouthEast Football Netball League (SEFNL), as they look to complete a Competition Review into the 2018 season. There are 31 clubs managed by AFL South East and according to presidents from Nepean and Peninsula divisions, they are being told that the push for a restructure is being driven by clubs in the SEFNL. Make no mistake, this review and restructure is not being driven by any clubs. It is being driven by the AFL and AFL South East. It all began in 2011 when the AFL then asked for a review of country football, which later resulted in 13 regions being created. It has been on the AFL’s agenda for a long time. When former AFL SE General Manager Jeremy Bourke was at the helm, one of his key strategies was to bring in divisional football across the three leagues. He had the experience given his history with the Amateurs. However, restructure wasn’t being driven by personal prefer-

ence, it was driven by the desire to have three ‘even’ competitions across the region. Whilst Bourke may no longer still be in the chair, the agenda for AFL South East remains the same. There is one hurdle though – a steadfast group of Nepean and Peninsula presidents who are not remotely interested in joining a three-tier competition with the SEFNL. Frankston President Chris ‘Batty’ Sharman, fresh from a President’ Meeting last Wednesday night, said on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that “being in a divisional competition with clubs from the SEFNL put Nepean and Peninsula clubs to the wall once before and we are not interested in this happening again.” “We have had the opportunity to put our case forward and now we wait for the recommendations,” Sharman said. “When the recommendations are delivered in July, as presidents we will meet again and decide what action we will take,” he said. The AFL South East Review principles look like this: • To investigate and explore the senior football competition structures in the SouthEast region that will promote the sustainability of Clubs • To investigate and explore the senior football competition structures in the South-

East region that will promote participation growth • To consider the competitive balance of the senior football competition structures for implementation in 2018. • To consider the impact on netball in the South-East region in any review findings The Review will also consider feedback received during 2016 when a survey was sent to clubs asking several questions relevant to this Review. Despite being anonymous, responses were received to the survey by a majority of clubs. The final line in the AFL SE Review was that there would be “no further comment by the Commission until the draft recommendations are released.” That’s a bit rich from an organisation that based transparency as its platform to boot the old MPNFL Board and Administration and take over office two years ago. Rosebud Football Club, which was one of the key drivers in replacing the old administration with AFL SE, wrote on its social media page that “the findings and ultimate outcome of this review has the potential to completely change the face of Peninsula football – and not for the better! “In particular it is clear that there is an agenda to implement a backward return to divisional football, with promotion and relegation re-introduced be-

tween two or more leagues. “How anyone thinks it would be good for local footy and netball to see one or more of a Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento or Dromana competing in a different League that includes a Seaford, Frankston YCW, or worse a Berwick, Doveton or Narre Warren beggar’s belief. “You can rest assured that our Club and others will fight tooth and nail to prevent this from occurring,” the post suggested. So, as you can see, not only do Nepean and Peninsula Clubs not want to join a super league with SEFNL, there are some Nepean clubs that are not even interested in promotion-relegation with Peninsula clubs. Without question, clubs and the AFL SE are poles apart on this one. My guess is that AFL SE will spend the next eight weeks working out a PR plan to try and roll it out with minimal damage. For mine, the focus of AFL SE should be to come up with a plan to fix their dysfunctional junior program, work with and build a relationship with Mornington Peninsula Juniors, conduct a review of the Under 19 and Under 17 programs and leave strong, healthy competitions the way they are for now. Can we see a parent in Sorrento driving their 17-year-old son to Officer for a 9am start on a Saturday morning?

Blues cop a loss in the seniors HASTINGS FNC

No lights or change rooms, but plenty of spirit TYABB womens’ team played Frankston Bombers in a hard fought game on Saturday. The Yabbies played well in front of a good crowd on the back oval to come away with the points. The final score was Tyabb 7. 13 (55) to Frankston 2. 6 (18). The game was originally meant to be played Friday night under lights but as the lights still have not been installed the game was reallocated to

the back oval on Saturday. As there are no change rooms at this oval Jarnhi Rose Tipi Hire kindly came to the rescue supplying Tipis for the game. The Tipis are available for hire usually for glamping, parties and events. The Tyabb Womens’ team are playing well having won all their practice matches and the first three games played.

SATURDAY saw the Hastings Football/Netball teams come up against Rosebud at home plus our women’s football team played their second game down at Warragul. The club had its annual black tie ball at the Mornington Racing Club on Saturday night which was a fabulous night for all that attended. These events are such a great way for our club to come together, with all the girls and boys in the best attire and looking fabulous. Well done to Emma Smith who did a wonderful job organizing this evening. Senior Report Our boys came up against a very strong and committed Rosebud outfit. Rosebud took their chances in critical times throughout the game to record a win. Hastings was coming off a great victory against Red Hill the previous week. This game was certainly going to be another great test with 2nd vs 4th. The bigger Rosebud boys out muscled Hastings at stoppages throughout the afternoon. While we had our opportunities with our forward entries we couldn’t capitalize to put scoreboard pressure on the our opposition. We will learn from this loss and look forward to our next opponent this Saturday at Pearcedale. Reserves Report We came across last year’s grand final winning team in Rosebud. In a highly competitive first quarter, we were unable to capitalise. To Rosebud’s credit they kicked the goals and made the most of their opportunities. In the second quarter they really came out to play and showed why

they won the grand final last year. We just did not have any answers. The second half was a bit of a different story. We started to be first to the footy and put some score on the board. Overall I was pretty happy with the boys after halftime, only losing the second half by two points. Best players: Kyle Delahye, Josh ward and Chris Biviano. Under 19s Report We hosted Rosebud this week and as a team were given a football lesson. Rosebud started strongly with little resistance from Hastings. As has been the case over the past few weeks too little is being done to do the one percenters. Plenty to work on this week at training. Alex Clemens and Peter Megee fought hard as always. Netball Report We hosted Rosebud on a fine but very windy day. C grade had their best match for the year. All the girls put on the court the hard work they had been doing at training during the week. Driving strongly and playing a much more attacking style of game. Once again Jaimi Gay and Grace William’s were fantastic at the goaling end. This combination is getting stronger and stronger with every match they play, finishing off the hard work from the defenders. They had the lead at three quarter time but got over run in the final quarter going down by three. B grade started strongly and continued throughout the whole match. Hard work, commitment and a strengthened team bond is proving to be a tough gig for our opposition.

Emma Smith is growing in confidence and strength with every match having her best game not only for the year but for the club. With her height she is really hard to match up on and is now using it to her and the team’s full advantage. This team is also growing every week on every level, being tested and having the ability to respond is an area that had been lacking but is now improving. Tash Green also had her best game for the club this year. Her development as a netballer is showing through with every match she plays. A well deserved win by the girls. Women’s Football Report We headed off to Warragul for our second match of the season. Warragul had won their previous games comfortably but we were feeling optimistic that we would give them a run for their money. I think that the week off was probably to our detriment and it took the girls a while to switch on and get their heads in the game. Warragul were a physically tough team and their small home ground suited their style of play Zoe, Bridgette, Ella and Michelle worked hard to lift the girls with Bridgette working hard in the ruck and Zoe running all day, her second efforts were outstanding. Hastings 2. 5 Warragul 7. 8 Our next game is at home against Gippsland Maroons Saturday 3rd June 12.00pm *** Upcoming Game: Hastings FNC vs Pearcedale FNC at Pearcedale all games start from 10.00 am make sure you get along to support your Hastings Blues.

Pies fly with five of seven teams taking a win CRIB POINT FNC DROMANA and Crib Point squared off in their round 7 match on the weekend. The Pies were playing at home and gave the locals plenty to smile about with 5 of the 7 sides coming away with the win. In netball D grade showed their improvement by sticking with Dromana until the last quarter. The girls showed a lot of fight and hunger for the ball but unfortunately the Tigers were too good on the day. BOC went to Bridget Ellis for an amazing game in defence. C grade continued their undefeated streak, even with a few players out the girls didn’t miss a beat. Goaling duo Jess and Amy Cook were back together and had a rocky start but found their rhythm as the team won by 18 goals. BOC went to Bree Phillips for her great drives and movement around the ring. B grade were back on the winners list after a convincing win (14 goal) at home. In the absence of star defender Brooke Farrelly Crib’s defensive pressure was still strong which led to many turnovers being converted. BOC went to Molly Palser who played one of her best games yet in C and WD. A grade had another very successful game winning by 32 goals to a young but promising side. Defenders kept Dromana from scoring in the first quarter setting the pace for the day. Belinda Nerantzoulis and Leah Moncrieff were getting tips and intercepts left right and centre. BOC went to Ebony McDermott for her great movement and accurate goaling.

Picture: Tyler Lewis

In football the Under 19’s got the club off to a strong start with a comfortable 77 point win. Going into the game Crib Point had 9 players unavailable due to a variety of reasons. This gave some of the boys a great opportunity to get some game time. The first half was played on the Pies terms and Harry Dekleuver

was on fire collecting possessions at will. Jarrod Fisk was a focal point at CHF and the midfield was well on top in the clearances. In the second half Dromana got a lot of numbers behind the footy, making scoring more difficult. The backline held up firm all day with Dromana scoring their only goal late in the game. Best players were

Harry Dekleuver, Will Larkin, Jarrod Fisk, Nick Rutherford, Arron King and Joseph ‘Joey Jo Jo’ Smith. Crib Point’s Reserves haven’t had a successful start to the season and we’re eager to get the 4 points in front of a home crowd. Crib Point started strongly and controlled the tempo of the game moving the ball with ease.

Beau Monty and Daniel White were everywhere and the Pies took a 45 point lead into the halftime break. The Reserves didn’t let up and continued to pump the ball into their attacking 50 but became too goal hungry and didn’t capitalise on their chances. The last quarter saw the team really click as they kicked 10 goals to finish off the game with a 131 point victory. Neil ‘big bad bustling boogsy clunks’ Clarke finished with 5 goals while Brodie Hill and Tyler Wilton snagged a few each. The backline was solid all day with Elliot Avis and Ethan Smith dominating across the half back flank. After two great wins for the club many would have thought that Crib Point were a red hot chance to finish with a clean sweep in the football. It has been a very tough month and half for the Pies playing 4 of the top sides in a row, and the boys were keen to get back on the winners list against the Tigers. In what was probably their worst performance for the year the Pies got ahead of themselves and thought it was just going to happen for them. They weren’t clean when it mattered and weren’t prepared to run when they needed to. Crib Point trailed Dromana by 20 points at halftime but that was as close as the Pies got to them as the Tigers ran away with the game and gave Crib an 83 point thumping much to the disappointment of the home crowd. Luke Herrington is finding some form after a quiet start to the year and Kyle Arnott was just about Crib’s only shining light for the day. Next week the Pies travel down the peninsula to take on Rye in what could hopefully be successful day.
