The Club’s massive rent rise Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE rent paid by the Hastings Club for premises in Marine Parade is about to be increased tenfold.

The club has been paying $4000 a year since 1996, but Mornington Peninsula Shire last week decided to bring the rent more into line with market values and how much income the club raises through gaming machines.

After a long and sometimes bitter debate councillors agreed to raise the rent

to $42,234 for the first year of a new 21-year lease.

The club will then face $5000 a year increases for two years with reviews every five years.

The shire manages the Hastings Park reserve which is on Crown land and can grant leases of up to 21 years.

The club, which raises money for cricket and football clubs, has been there since the 1970s and now runs gaming machines as well as providing meals, operating a bar and function rooms.

In its 2015/16 annual report the club says it is “committed to capitalising on areas of growth by exploring different streams of revenue and by diversification of its activities while ensuring that it remains true to its original purpose”.

The club’s treasurer John Kercheval reported increases in total revenue of $211,000 (7.75 per cent), and gaming income by $230,766 (11.6 per cent) which gave a net profit of $199,814, up $ 44,892 (28.98 per cent) from the previous year.

The Hastings Club’s lease expired

last December and its entitlement to run 50 gaming machines runs out on 16 August 2022.

In her report to council’s Monday 27 March meeting property and strategy manager Yasmin Woods said the club had been paying $4000 a year in rent since 1996, although the original lease had stated that amount should be reviewed every three years.

If the reviews had been held, the current rent would have been $30,250.

“The club disputed the rent increases; one reason being that it considered

its requirements to meet community service obligations under its gaming venue operator’s licence should be taken into account … and it was agreed to leave the rent at $4000,” Ms Woods’ report stated. “According to its 2015/2016 annual report, the club’s net profit for the year was approximately $199,000 with the gaming room operating surplus in excess of $930,000.

Records indicate the club provided a direct contribution of approximately $130,000 to affiliated sporting clubs in that year.”

NEWS DESK Shire in top 10 MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has been named as one of Victoria’s top 10 councils for music.

The ranking by Music Victoria is based on the efforts municipalities make “to ensure that live music and the arts is well-represented in their area�.

Other municipalities to make the top 10 are the cities of Ballarat, Darebin, Greater Geelong, Maribyrnong, Melbourne, Moreland, Port Phillip, Stonnington and Yarra.

Music Victoria based its top 10 on the way councils developed and implemented strategic plans for contemporary music in their community; provided grants and other programs for contemporary music; curated, supported and funded local music festivals; and offering council facilities to musicians.

Music Victoria looked at 79 municipalities to find the most music oriented municipalities.

Church op shop fire ‘suspicious’ WITNESSES told police they heard an explosion before seeing the old weatherboard church at the corner of Church and King streets, Hastings, on fire at 4am, Friday 31 March.

The fire, in the opportunity shop at the rear of the Holy Trinity Church, is regarded as being suspicious.

CFA firefighters had the fire under control within 15 minutes. Trucks from Hastings, Bittern and a breathing apparatus van from Frankston attended. “Internally the building has been gutted, but it is still standing,� Hastings CFA captain Jim Atkinson said. “Firefighters did a fantastic job at protect-

Ringmaster: Rye boxer Jayde Mitchell has Les Sherrington against the ropes.

Picture: Hosking Promotions

Mitchell doesn’t disappoint RYE super-boxer Jayde Mitchell “stepped on the gas� in the sixth round to overpower rival Les Sherrington at the popular Punches at the Park III event on Saturday 18 March.

Mitchell stormed to a TKO win in the 10 rounder at Melbourne Park Function Centre to retain the interim WBA Oceania title.

Hundreds of supporters from the Mornington Peninsula gave their man a standing ovation – and even tears – after his convincing win over his bigger rival. “The peninsula blew the roof off the function centre and I can’t thank everyone enough who came out or tuned in and watched this past Saturday night,� Mitchell said on social media. “[The win] was the culmination of all our hard work coming together and I feel we put our stamp on our recent accolades. I took on a far more experi-

enced opponent who came to win. “There were some great exchanges until I found the shots, stepped on the gas and got the finish.�

Mitchell singled out his strength and conditioning coach Mitch Cook for praise afterwards. “We had an amazing preparation in which I lost 21kg from the second week of January without any injuries and still built strength which showed in this fight.�

Mitchell’s next fight is on Saturday 22 April at the Melbourne Pavilion in Flemington. “I am super excited to be fighting on the same card as former world champion Sam ‘King’ Soliman as he makes his return to Melbourne,� he said. “Also returning is Jake Carr and great undercard featuring Joel Painter and former Richmond Football Club player Kayne Pettifer.�

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire celebrated the 20-year anniversary of its inaugural council meeting held on 20 March 1997 at the Rosebud Council Chamber.

The occaision was marked with the cutting of a cake at Flinders Civic Hall.

The first meeting was attended by nine councillors elected in the 1997 municipal election.

The election followed the formation of the shire in December 1994 with the amalgamation of the former shires of Flinders, Mornington and Hastings.

For the following three years the shire was managed by state government-appointed commissioners, Nick Hutson, Peter Newman and Jane Moffat.

The shire’s first councillors were Bill Goodrem, David Gibb, David Jarman, David Renouf, Jane Hildebrant, John Trantino, Judith Couacaud Grayley, Margaret Bell and Snez Plunkett.

The shire’s current mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the shire has met many challenges in looking after its green wedge and 40 villages and townships. “We are proud to say that over the 20 years, the Shire has worked hard to develop a number of strategies, plans and policies to better the peninsula now and in the future,� Cr Colomb said. “This legacy reminds us of our important duties as elected leaders to value, protect and improve our unique peninsula.�

Cruden Farm plan on the way Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au CHANGE may be coming to Cruden Farm amid signs a property developer is showing an interest in the Langwarrin homestead.

The idyllic 54-hectare estate was Dame Elisabeth Murdoch’s home for eight decades before her death in 2012 at the age of 103.

Dame Murdoch was the mother of News Corp founder Rupert Murdoch.

The estate was transferred into the name of Cruden Custodian Limited in 2013 and its trustees include several grandchildren of Dame Murdoch but not the media mogul himself.

Its gardens are sometimes open to the public and the estate hosts community and charity events at the behest of Dame Murdoch who was a renowned philanthropist.

Cruden Farm director Cara Simpson confirmed “a proposal” will be submitted to Frankston Council in early April.

“The intention of the proposal is to secure the long-term future of Cruden Farm so that it can be enjoyed by the people of Victoria in line with the wishes of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch,” she said in a statement.

Newspaper magnate Keith Murdoch bought Cruden Farm in 1928 as a wedding present for Dame Murdoch.

Brighton-based property developer Hamish Macdonald registered the business name Cruden Farm in January this year under his business name UEG Pty Ltd. Mr Macdonald is a former Geelong Grammar student and University of Melbourne graduate

according to a LinkedIn profile and previously worked in executive roles at development firms Lend Lease and Becton. He is also a non-executive director of VicUrban, a state government development agency.

“From late 2008 to early 2012 Hamish had a contract based role with the Victorian Department of Human Services,” the LinkedIn profile states.

“In this role, Hamish had responsibility for the creation of any new social housing in Victoria and the ongoing maintenance of the existing portfolio of 73,000 public housing dwellings.”

Calls to numbers linked with UEG Pty Ltd were not returned..

Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial confirmed the future of the estate has been discussed at council.

“We have met with representatives of Cruden Farm on several occasions to discuss options and opportunities that will ensure its sustainable future and availability and access for our community,” he said.

“Any subdivision of Cruden Farm would require a planning scheme amendment and planning permit. Council has not received any application in relation to Cruden Farm.”

Cruden Farm is zoned Rural Conservation Zone 2 with a minimum subdivision limit of eight hectares.

Any subdivision less than eight hectares would have to be approved by state Labor Planning Minister Richard Wynne and ratified by both the Upper House and Lower House of Parliament in Victoria.

The property is also subject to environmental significance and heritage overlays.

Water babies: Melody and Tamsyn enjoyed their Water Safety Week lessons at YMCA Somerville.

Classes take to the water MORE than 60 Wallaroo Primary School pupils from years 3-6 have completed a Water Safety Week program at YMCA Somerville.

Over five days, the children learned a range of aquatic skills, including how to deal with potentially dangerous water scenarios and how to improve their personal water safety.

Eighteen grade 6 pupils took part in the Victorian Water Safety Certificate program, with the 12 who met the requirements being awarded certificates at a later school assembly. Just three

of the certificate were presented to boys, which aligns with the drowning statistics for this gender and age group, said YMCA swimming teacher Mardi Johnson.

The grade 6 pupils are the first this year to be tested at the pool under Lifesaving Victoria’s guidelines for primary school students. While not yet compulsory learning at schools, the YMCA believes water safety is a vital life skill and the program aims to pass that knowledge onto pupils and schools.

Club’s rent rise Continued from Page 1 Actual gaming revenue increased to $2.22 million in 2016 from $1.99m in 2015. Accountants hired by the shire to review the club’s financial statements said before tax profit increased by $44,896 in the same period.

Ms Woods stated that clubs with gaming machines were obligated under gaming regulations to contribute at least 8.33 per cent of gaming revenues to approved community purposes or activities.

The club’s rent could be included in its community benefits spending.

“The council should not be expected to offer a rental subsidy because the club has an obligation to expend gaming revenue of community services or activities,” she stated.

Ms Woods said the club”appears to be viable” and there was merit in granting a new 21-year lease when the club’s gaming licence expired in August 2022.

The Valuer-General Victoria – after being asked for an opinion by the shire – had recommended charging $60,000 a year rent, but Ms Woods suggested giving the club a 50 per cent discount and making the amount $30,000 plus one per cent of gaming room receipts ($22,234) for a total rent of $52,234. The ground rent (based on site valuation) would be reviewed at five yearly intervals.

However, a motion moved by Cr Kate Roper and adopted by council set the rent at $42,234, which includes $20,000 for land and buildings plus one per cent of gaming receipts. The rent will increase by $5000 for each of the two following years.

Cr David Gill failed to have the club’s rent set at $12,000 with $8000 annual increases until it reached $52,000 when his amendment was not accepted by the mayor, Cr Bev Colomb.

After the meeting, Cr Gill said while he did not like seeing gaming revenue “come out of the Hastings community” he thought raising the rent immediately was “too much too soon”.

“A lot of the money, which is being used by the cricket and football clubs, would otherwise go to the hotels.”

Gunshot mystery A HASTINGS resident was taken to Frankston Hospital after allegedly being shot in the arm by an air rifle, 6.30pm, Saturday 1 April.

The 34-year-old, who was reported to ambulance officers as being near the Wallaroo general store when the incident happened, later told police he recalled hearing a shot but could not remember where. X-rays at the hospital could find no pellet, just graze marks.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Volunteers throughout the state are selling badges, with Crib Point RSL sub-branch president John Ord confident the public will again dig deep.

“Our RSL volunteers, from all walks of life, are ready to offer a variety of Anzac appeal badges, including a special badge to commemorate the last great charge of the Australian Light Horse at Beersheba in 1917,” he said.”

Mr Ord said volunteers, often veterans, were out in the community to not only sell Anzac Appeal badges, but to share their stories and experiences.

Profits go towards helping men and women who have served and who now need helping in paying for such things as medical bills, emergency home repairs, food vouchers and relief from social isolation.

Badges are available from RSL sub-branches, volunteer collectors, Woolworths and Officeworks. Donate online at anzacappeal.com.au

Environmentalists make a move after 50 years

Part of the wetlands at the Stricklands’ Bittern property.

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au AN afternoon tea for Peter and Kathie Strickland at Balnarring Hall in midMarch was an “acknowledgment of their considerable contribution to the local environmental and art communities”.

The couple, active members of community groups and environment organisations, are leaving their Beattie Av, Bittern, home and moving to Queensland to be near their children after more than 50 years on the Mornington Peninsula.

The farewell was attended by friends and representatives of these groups. “[Kathie and Peter] have made many friends and been inspirational with their sense of commitment and can-do attitude and, importantly, they have always delighted in sharing their knowledge and mentoring others,” farewell organiser Annette Bunyevich said.

“This can be seen in their passion for the environment, particularly in maintaining its integrity, and promoting the planting of indigenous species.

“They have been involved in the establishment and nurturing of the Balbirooroo Wetlands at Balnarring, which is a treasure for the community and, especially, for pupils at Balnarring Primary school for whom it is

‘Locals know best’

From the heart: The Stricklands present a painting of the Balbirooroo Wetlands to Shanti, the Balnarring Environmental Action Team captain, to be forwarded to Balnarring Primary School at assembly.

a wonderland of experiences and learning.”

Ms Bunyevich said the school motto, Where Nature Meets Nurture, underscores the school’s role as a Sustainability School. “The wetlands, after years of hard work by many people, have developed into the wonderful oasis,” she said.

“Peter’s detailed botanical illustrations of its flora and fauna are placed along the Wetlands walk, as are drawings by Nambooka about their Koori

story.

“Peter and Kathie were involved from the early days, donating indigenous plants from their Kareelah Nursery and rolling up their sleeves at community plantings and working bees.

“Their love of nature is reflected in Peter’s wonderful paintings of the peninsula and of many other breathtaking places around Australia.”

Mr Strickland was the foundation art teacher at Woodleigh School.

WHAT’S ON @ MOONAH LINKS

ARTIST and author Peter Strickland, who along with his wife Kathie has put together a series of books on indigenous plants, said the Mornington Peninsula had to decide whether it was going to be just a playground for Melbourne or an entity in its own right.

“We face lots of problems regarding population expansion, such as farmland, hotels and resorts and transport versus virgin bush,” he said.

“We have got to be more selfcentred and do what suits us, such as deciding whether we want to develop the port of Hastings or have Western Port as a relaxation area.”

Mr Strickland said the peninsula “had been lucky”.

“We have lots of little parks and reserves and a foreshore that is a gem of the highest order, yet we are allowing big buildings to be built right up to the beach.”

He said “huge holiday weekenders” were being built at Somers and Balnarring, adding pressure to services and reducing access to the few small car parks.

“Some long-range planning will have to take place or we will be left with a hotchpotch. Someone will have to put their foot down.”

Mr Strickland praised the role of local environment experts whose views should be taken into account when governments plan major projects. “It infuriates me when councils hire outof-town consultants when they should be taking notice of local experts who live here, work here and know the area backwards,” he said.

The couple say they are not politically aligned, although their frequent well-reasoned letters to the editor are, naturally, for such an environmentally-focused couple, soft-Left.

They enjoy the work of their Probus club and will miss their many friends.

“I am very keen on painting and will continue painting,” Mr Strickland said.

Their new home is at Palmwoods, inland from Maroochydore, which is closer to two of their children: Helen, a potter and environmentalist, and Pedr, an electrician. A third child, David, lives in Canada.

Council backs away from new skatepark plan NEARBY residents believe a skatepark at Narambi Reserve, Mornington will reduce vandalism to bus shelters and Mornington Park.

A 298-signature petition calling for a skatepark at Narambi Reserve was delivered to Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors at their Monday 27 March meeting.

Sport and recreation infrastructure planner Mark Stahel said the shire’s skate and BMX strategy did not include a skatepark at Narambi reserve “however there is a large skate facility located at Civic Reserve in Mornington, which is approximately one kilometre from Narambi reserve”.

Mr Stahel said the strategy “will be reviewed once the implementation plan from the existing strategy has been completed”.

That could take some time as the shire is still scrambling to resolve its differences with Mt Martha Tennis Club, which is opposed to a

skatepark next to its courts on the former parade ground near Mt Martha House.

The shire is prepared to spend $825,000 on a skatepark on the parade ground near the corner of the Esplanade and Kilburn Grove even though its design is guaranteed to not satisfy the needs or abilities of all skaters.

The plan to build the skatepark at Mt Martha was adopted without first seeking the consent of the tennis club to which council had already leased the site.

The club says the two activities – skating and tennis – are incompatible and it also wants to build an extra court in the same spot.

The petition for a skatepark at Narambi reserve says the signatories believe the existing skateparks in Mt Eliza “and Mt Martha” are too far away for young people to get to without transport.

LETTERS Shire should listen In response to Peter Scharpenack of Mornington, how m any times do residents need to voice their concerns before Mornington Peninsula Shire Council will listen (“Over-development” Letters 28/3/17)?

It seems the developers are able to buy their way onto the peninsula regardless of the effect it will have on the environment.

Green areas need to be set aside that cannot be touched; and the beaches are what make Mornington Peninsula the desirable place to visit and live. Council secrecy needs to stop.

Nadia Wilson, Safety Beach

Fixing the pier The 15 tonne wave panels affixed to Mornington pier failed at the first test, proving the incompetence of the design.

I have seen worse storms here and the global warming characters predict worse to come. Apparently Parks Victoria is going to have another go.

I think there are only two solutions.

One is to fill in the entire cavity under the pier with several thousand tonnes of concrete. That should last 100 years, not 10 minutes. Vector forces would still ensure that many tonnes of seawater would again be constantly flung 10 metres vertically.

Perhaps Mothers beach will be ruined, the odd person might be washed off the pier and drowned, but at least the 20 or so moored boats would have protection and reduced insurance premiums.

The second solution is to have no barriers at all. Let the mighty, unstoppable sea rage and flow under the pier. Pull the boats out.

It would be much cheaper for the taxpayers.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Politically incorrect The article “Award for ‘life changing’ teacher” (The News 28/3/17) was incorrect on a number of levels, the teacher who was interviewed was misquoted and misunderstood.

The article refers to “normal” children, which is not a term staff at Community Kinders Plus would use and we believe is deeply offensive.

This should have been picked up by the editor and should never have been published.

The teacher, Meagan Hull, explained to the journalist that a child with additional needs, attending a kindergarten like Bentons Square, creates learning opportunities for all.

Ms Hull referred to her work in the inclusive program as “life changing”, which is not what the heading implies.

It mentions Mt Martha House, Mornington Park and Biala Peninsula as schools when in fact Biala Peninsula is an early intervention organisation and the former are both kindergartens.

The conference that Ms Hull will attend in North Carolina with Jacqui Zuidema, who is the early intervention teacher from Biala Peninsula, is to learn more about initiatives in inclusive early childhood education.

Teresa McLennan, operations manager, Community Kinders Plus

Public, private pool The push for an southern peninsula aquatic centre (SPA) is being activated again by Betty

Letters - 300 words maximum and including full name, address and contact number - can be sent to The News, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915 or emailed to: team@mpnews.com.au Preston and a little band of bath towel and swimming cap wearers (“Pressure for aquatic centre” The News 28/3/17) At least we know it will not be on the Rosebud foreshore because the previous Liberal state government told Mornington Peninsula Shire to remove it from the strategy plan. I t appears the group expects the rest of the shire’s ratepayers to go into hock to the tune of $40 million so that a minority of people who just love swimming in watered down chlorine can get their kicks. Can I suggest to members of this small group that if they are fair dinkum about their desires for a pool with all the trimmings, that they approach council with a request to enter into a private public partnership with the owner of the existing pool in the industrial estate and remodel it complete with [such things as a] hydro pool for a far cheaper price. It’s an idea that I think would bring everyone on board. John Cain, McCrae

Wide coverage A mishmash of letters in last week’s The News.

Pleading words from Patricia Rayner on the injustice to innocent refugees on Manus Island and Nauru, a form of slow death in our name.

The shame.

Goodness knows where Brian A Mitchelson is coming from. On the one hand he calls for a dose of socialism, on the other he concludes Pauline Hanson says what we think?

Michael G Free chips in calling for a return to the good old days, yet lists Henry Bolte and Jeff Kennett as shakers and movers?

Last, but never least, we have our consistent friend John Cain and the return of the aquatic centre groundswell, meaning there’s no escaping John’s wrath on this one in the coming months.

Fun and games.

Cliff Ellen, Rye

Keep Hazelwood I think Tony Abbott and Inness Willox have the right idea in suggesting that the Victorian government should take over the Hazelwood power station and keep it running until some other source of energy comes on line.

We have an energy crisis brought about by state and federal governments on both sides, by their failure to include adequate Australian protective clauses in their deals with foreign owners of our gas and petroleum resources and their failure to get on top of revisions to the petroleum resource rent tax (PRRT), the primary tax on oil and gas production. The PRRT alone could finance our schools and hospitals if it was adequately reviewed.

After his lack of foresight our prime minister’s knee jerk solution of extending the Snowy Mountains hydro electric scheme will take at least 10 years to make a difference to the current situation and by that time it could well be insufficient.

More base load power production needs to be planned and brought on line but, in the meantime, Hazelwood should be kept producing. Not only would the economy of the Latrobe Valley be maintained and 2600 jobs saved, but sufficient energy would remain available to support our industries and domestic users throughout Victoria.

Although Hazelwood is a dirty power station, burning brown coal, its contribution to pollution on a global scale is insignificant.

Beside the continuing building of coal fired

power stations in China and India it does not rate and it would only have a finite short life while other cleaner sources of electricity were brought on line. At the same time state and federal governments should start making plans and serious decisions about future power production instead of doing nothing and hoping the problem will go away.

James McLoughlin, Balnarring Editor: Hazelwood’s generators were turned off last week. The decision for the power station to close was made by its owners, French company Engie, for economic reasons.

Legal matters I was miffed by the comments from Peninsula Community Legal Aid CEO Jackie Galloway, in which she bemoans the federal government’s proposed cuts to legal aid funding from 1 July (“Rosie Batty backs legal help centre” The News 28/3/17). Perhaps if Victorian legal aid, along with the judiciary, could be persuaded not to fund the wasteful and doomed appeals of monsters such as Adrian Bailey and Sean Price, there might be money available to fund the work of Jackie and her colleagues, even after the cuts which, although undesirable, are necessary to reduce government debt and deficit and avoid leaving a crushing burden on the shoulders of our children and grandchildren.

Otherwise, the only option available to future governments will be huge increases in taxes, or greater reductions in services, than those being presently proposed. Michael Long, Frankston

Disgraceful behaviour The performance of the old parties (Labor and Liberal/Nationals) during question time shows Australians exactly why Australia is becoming a great sad joke.

The vile accusations sprayed around the Lower House by both leaders and their minions is an embarrassment for anyone who thought the grown ups are actually at the wheel of Australia’s ship of state.

Both sides of politics are not fit to be in charge of our nation if only half of the accusations made are true. And if there is no truth to anything they spit at each other then they both should come out and apologise to us, the Australian people.

There are serious problems needing urgent attention for the future of Australia and its people, like global warming, the fact that wealth distribution in Australia has become so distorted that an ever greater proportion of Australians are slipping below the poverty line, while some of our corporations and wealthy people don’t know what to do with all their wealth.

Our health care is becoming unaffordable for many, our elderly pensioners can’t afford utility costs, and our youth ends up with huge debts if they aspire to get a good education. But we have to witness Nero and his opponents fiddle while our society goes to the dogs.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Hunters out of tune It is inspiring to see the mixture of outrage, disbelief and laughter filling the media since PETA requested the iconic Australian band Hunters and Collectors to change its name. PETA will be shedding True Tears of Joy if the band agrees to make a point about the appalling and gratuitous

annual slaughter of some 300,000 peaceful water birds in Victoria and Tasmania.

Of course, H&C are not themselves out there with high powered rifles and a taste for blood, but when hugely popular bands are Talking to a Stranger it is easy for people to get the wrong idea, and think that because the music is great, the words in the band’s name must also be admirable.

An Easy change of name won’t put the band Back on the Breadline, but may well make some fans think about the fate of animals who, going peacefully about their business, are blasted from the sky by hunters, just for some sort of twisted fun.

People love to laugh at PETA and our media releases, and we encourage everyone to do so.

We’re laughing too, at the absurdly disproportionate outrage of some commentators who took the story a little too seriously, and of course at the fact that this simple request is still, days later, getting people laughing, shouting, commenting and most of all thinking about the exploitation of animals. Any response is better than to Turn a Blind Eye. When the River Runs Dry, PETA will still be there, fighting with weapons of laughter and tears against animal abuse. Have a laugh on PETA, but check out PETA.org.au to find out more about the atrocities that humans visit on other animals. Ashley Fruno, associate director of campaigns, PETA Australia

Welcome for bus I have just received a survey from the MP for Carrum, Sonya Kilkenny, about the need for a bus service from Carrum Downs and Sandhurst to Carrum station. Yes please. My daughter is dependent on us as parents to drive her to and from Carrum station every morning and afternoon. To give her some independence would be great for her and certainly better for us.

Kylie Freez, Sandhurst

Take care on roads With school holidays starting next week and the Easter long weekend not far behind, it is crucial for Victorian drivers to be prepared for the extra activity in the community, particularly when on the road.

Tragically, we have already seen 56 lives lost on Victorian roads this year, 62 per cent of which occurred on rural roads.

This figure is not only alarming but disproportionately high given most Victorians live in metropolitan Melbourne.

While country roads appear to have less traffic, they can be just as dangerous as busy highways, particularly for those drivers who are unfamiliar to the changing conditions.

It is devastating to think that in just three months, 56 lives have been lost and many more families, friends and communities left mourning their loved ones.

We must remember to not only obey the road rules and stick to the speed limit, but also to drive to the conditions in regional areas.

As someone who sees the devastating impact a fatality or injury on our roads can have to the community, every precaution must be taken to keep our roads safe.

Joanne Panagakis, Slater and Gordon state practice group leader

COLLECTING and sorting goods for sale has been keeping members of Mt Eliza Rotary Club busy for weeks.

The culmination of their efforts to raise money for community projects comes this Saturday (8 April) with the club’s annual garage sale.

It will be the seventh year the club has sold goods donated by households from across the Mornington Peninsula and some Melbourne suburbs.

The first part of the operation involved collecting the donated goods and then sorting and storing. Items come from families moving house, down-sizing or parting with possessions they

no longer require. Categories of goods include artworks, books, bric-a-brac, kitchenware, tools, toys and games, sporting equipment, light furniture, clothes, plants and gardening implements.

“There will be thousands of items at bargain prices and I want to stress that all profits from this event will go direct to Rotary supported community projects-many in the youth area,” Mt Eliza Rotary president George Ann Sullivan said.

The garage sale runs 8am-3pm Saturday 8 April at Peninsula Grammar (formerly The Peninsula School), Wooralla Drive, Mt Eliza.

Free entry.

All aboard for surf of fools SUPER heroes, kings, pirates, punks, presidents (ex) and bogans seem an unlikely mix, but seemed ideal for Saturday’s surf contest at the somewhat appropriately named Atlas break at The Pines, Shoreham.

The 12-team event was being held to raise money for the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula branch with the help of Maladiction Longboarders Club.

Four-member teams dressed for the occasion (pirates were pirates, presidents wore suits, the punks were in plastic and so on) and the starter’s horn was blown while the reef at the Pines Beach was still exposed.

Despite a lack of waves the early heats showed some innovative surfing with the main trick being for surfers to lie on their backs kicking their legs and waving their arms in the historic cockroach position.

Later, a multi-national team in-

volved a Scotsman taking a swig of something from a bottle while surfing, the Aboriginal flag being flown by a surfer astride two boards and a handstanding Italian chef.

After all, it was April Fool’s Day and contestants were in no doubt that something was up when the judges started to laugh and the winners were picked from a hat, despite creditable style being shown as the waves improved with the afternoon’s rising tide.

Competitors rode the long “soft” boards used as DSA surf events and, just to liven up their styles, there was no wax to help them stop sliding off.

The hat trick was won by the Pirates, whose members made off with $2000 worth of air travel vouchers.

Outdoor art: Peninsula Plein Air Painters’ president Roger Stebbing, left, and other members on location, above.

Outdoor artists to exhibit WORKS by the late Mt Martha artist Rudi Fuchs will feature at the Peninsula Plein Air Painters annual exhibition and sale at Sorrento over Easter.

Fuchs, 88 who passed away last December, was born in East Germany where he trained in art and won the prestigious Weimar scholarship before escaping to West Germany in 1946.

He arrived in Australia in 1953 and tutured art across the Mornington Peninsula with David Taylor and Robert Wade throughout the 1960s and was a long time member of the Peninsula Plein Air group.

The exhibition is being held at the Sorrento Activity Centre from 14 April.

Members of the Peninsula Plein Air Painters prefer the great outdoors to produce their works from Millionaires Walk to Cape Schanck and Arthur’s Seat to Mothers Beach, Mornington.

The group has also been to Lorne and Falls Creek for several days of painting, wining and dining.

Plein air painting originated through impressionists such as Monet, Pissarro and Renoir and later masters such as Guaguin and Van Gogh

Notable Australian plein air landscape artists include McCubbin, Heysen, Roberts, Namatjira and Streeton.

Doors to the exhibition open at 10am on Good Friday at Sorrento Activity Centre. The show will open 10am-4pm daily over the four days.

The official opening is at 7pm on the Friday night with wine and nibbles provided. Admission is $3.

Sorrento Activity Centre is on the corner of Melbourne and Queens roads, Sorrento. Details: Maxine Wild, 5985 5770.

“With a combination of professional experience and the latest technology, we pride ourselves on providing each and every one of our customers with excellence in restorative and cosmetic dentistry,” says Dr Albery. “With very few exceptions, we can handle all of your dental needs in-house. That means you won’t have to waste time waiting and travelling for a referral.

Instead, we provide everything you need in our modern practice and at an affordable price.”

Dr Albery opened Dental Studio 2-Twenty three years ago, to offer the unique boutique dental service to the peninsula.

“I started working as a dentist back in 1982 in Frankston and have always worked on the Mornington Peninsula. In 2007 I packed up and went to Ceduna on the Nullarbor Plain to work in aboriginal communities,” says Dr Albery, who ended up staying there for four years. “I helped to set up a government clinic there and then came back to Mornington where I have opened my new practice, after encouragement by friends and relatives.”

Dental Studio 2-Twenty offers a boutique dental experience, with the latest technology, a brand new surgery, state of the art equipment, and the bonus of three decades of experience treating people.

Dr Albery has undertaken advanced training in crown, bridge and implants dentistry, and completed his Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy in Myofascial Acupuncture. He is a founding member of the Australian Society of Dental Aesthetics and a founding member of the Peninsula Headache Clinic.

“As a professional team, we pride ourselves on our excellent customer service, as well as our expertise and state of the art dental technology.

When you come to Dental Studio 2-Twenty, you don’t just get the very best in restorative and cosmetic dentistry – you get friendly service, personalised to suit your needs and budget,” says Dr Albery.

Dental Studio 2-Twenty is a practice focused on advanced cosmetic and restorative dentistry, and we can help with everything from restoring worn and broken down teeth to replacing missing teeth with dentures, crowns, bridges or dental implants.

Dental Studio 2-Twenty is at 2-20 Bruce Street, Mornington.

Foot, knee or leg pain?

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

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

The death of George Griffeth keenly felt in community Compiled by Cameron McCullough BY the death of the late Cr. Geo. Griffeth, of “Two Bays Nurseries”, Somerville and district has sustained a loss that will be very keenly felt and deplored.

Since coming to the district in 1888, when he and his brother commenced the now famous Two Bays Nurseries which is the largest nursery business this side of the Equator, he has identified himself with the district, and as a Councillor of two shires (Frankston and Hastings, and Mornington) for many years, he has been foremost in advancing the district in every possible way, and, as President (which position he held in both shires) he carried out his duties with honor to himself and the municipality.

Since the commencement of the war he has been indefatigable in working for the Red Cross and kindred movements, and his heartfelt sympathy with our boys at the front was shown in every possible way.

He took a leading part in the annual conference of fruitgrowers, and by his practical and valuable suggestions, helped materially to place the industry in an improved condition.

Besides the Two Bays Nurseries the deceased gentleman had 150 acres planted with 2,000,000 trees, and 15,000 trees in the nursery at Moorooduc, as well as several properties in other parts of the State.

The remains were brought to his late residence at Somerville, on Sunday, and from there proceeded to Mornington cemetery, where the body was interred. ***

THE dance held by the “Wattle” Club on Saturday night last, was a great success. *** SPECIAL Easter services, with appropriate musical selections, will be conducted by the Rev. E. Tonkin, in the Frankston Methodist Church, on Sunday next, at 11am, and 7pm Rev. A. L. Sherlock will officiate at both services at Somerville. *** MR W. J. Nightingale, of Shepparton, and Messrs Wall and Coghill, of Wilby, visited Frankston during the week and each purchased a building allotment in Frankston. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason advertise having been favoured with instructions from Mr A. E. Kitson to sell the whole of the contents of his 7 roomed villa residence, as well as large iron stables buggy sheds etc, for removal on Saturday 21st April. Further particulars will appear later. *** FROM April 1st the Postal Department will not permit the attaching of stamps to postal notes. When it is necessary to include pence, stamps must be put loose in the letter. No post office will hand over cash for stamps attached to a postal note after Saturday (today.) *** WE note in another column of this issue that the Frankston Motor Garage (Taylor’s) is having a genuine clearing sale of Dunlop rubber goods of every description.

We learn that the proprietors have recently been appointed agents, in this district, for the famous Australian firm,

Barnet Glass Rubber Co., and are giving up their agency for Dunlops.

This sale is to make room for the new stock now to hand, and some exceptionally good bargains are to be had. *** SIR Wm. Irvine addressed a crowded audience in the Frankston Mechanics Institute on Wednesday evening, and received an enthusiastic welcome. He confined his remarks to the present war policy and the questions arising out of it.

At the conclusion a number of questions were asked and answered satisfactorily. *** ATTENTION is directed to Messrs T. R.B. Morton’s sale, to be held at Mornington Junction on Thursday next on account of Messrs H. C. Barclay and J. J. Scott.

These gentlemen having sold their properties are disposing of their stock, implements, furniture and sundries.

The sale will commence punctually at 11 o’clock. *** D. H. TRENGROVE, a young man who was charged with alleged perjury,

by Mrs Hill, in connection with proceedings against him at the Frankston Police Court, on 12th February, for having negligently driven a motor cycle at Chelsea some time previously, whereby he came into collision with Mrs Hill, at the Melbourne General Sessions on Tuesday.

The jury found Trengrove not guilty, and he was discharged.

The Crown Prosecutor entered a nolle prosequi on the case of Mary Olive

Opie, who had been similarly charged in the same matter. *** MR M. PETERSON, butcher, of Cranbourne, while driving home on Sunday, 25th inst., from Frankston, in a jinker, collided with a motor car coming in the opposite direction.

The jinker contained Mrs Peterson and three small children.

Fortunately only one child, six years of age was injured, receiving severe scalp wounds, although the other occupants of the jinker were thrown into the roadway.

The horse got clear and bolted. The owner of the car drove the injured lad to Frankston, where he was treated by Dr Maxwell and later, was motored home to Cranbourne.

The accident occured opposite Mr Herbert Oates’s residence, on the Cranbourne Road. *** ECHOES from the Front. WHERE ARE THE BOYS WE KNOW? Mrs Peebles. Seaford, has received, from her son, Gunner Roland Peebles, a miniature newspaper, printed during the transport’s adventurous trip to England.

Mr Censor forbids that we shall reprint the Log in full, but we take the following extracts:– The transport on which we travel is widely known as the Lunatic Ship. The name arises from the numerous tight corners she has managed to turn without running into an enemy “torp.”

To the population aboard has been added a monkey, white mice, a legweary looking nanny goat and numerous other mascots.

The man who bought the parrot says he doesn’t feel lonely now. It squawks all day and reminds him of his missus, whom he left in ‘Smelburn’.

We are a community of 2,000 people. Those who joined first will have travelled over 14,000 miles. In steaming that distance 4,600 tons of coal will have been consumed. The dimensions of your present home are 517 feet long, 63 feet wide and displaces 21,000 tons of water.

We are often inclined to grumble; let us not forget, first, we are not children, but grown men, supposed to be endowed with a little common sense; second - we are at WAR - the real thing, not comic opera war, and instead of grumbling it is both our duty and our work to help each other in every possible way to carry things forward for the benefit of the cause for which we are fighting.

Increase in the family on board. No, it wasn’t twins. Simply an avalanch of Victorians and Jolly Jack Tars. One of our beastly tobacco chewing bounders reckons the decks are too crowded – he hasn’t anywhere to spit.

In the last casualty list published the name of Private Worral appears among the wounded.

Private Roy M’Kenzie has been on furlough and is now back in the firing line.

Private Lyle Holland, who previous to enlisting was employed by the Peninsula Motor Garage Pty. Ltd. as a Driver at Frankston, has been wounded in action. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 7 April 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Belated confessions of a professional procrastinator

By Stuart McCullough I SUSPECT it may be too late. I’d heard that one of my high school classmates was expecting a baby and I wanted to do something thoughtful.

Instead, I bought the yet-to-be bubba a soft toy; a tiger with silky fur and a big warm grin on its face. All I needed to do was either drop off or post the gift and the transaction would be complete. I figured there was little point in rushing. I could – so I reasoned – do it next weekend. There’d be plenty of time to send through my incredibly thoughtful gift. And so it is that a stuffed toy tiger has been sitting on my bookshelf since 1991.

Twenty-six years later, it’s sobering to think that the infant in question probably has children of his own. If I were to send through the toy now it would probably come across as more ‘weird’ than ‘thoughtful’. Not that I should let the fear of being misunderstood discourage me. Not at all. But on the question of whether I should follow through, it’s a tough call. On the one hand, everybody loves getting something through the post. On the other, it’s always unfortunate when good deeds succeed in freaking people out.

I know what you’re thinking. Not just because I’m sensitive, emotionally intelligent and surprisingly perceptive but also because I asked President Obama to tap your phones and he’s been sending over the tapes weekly.

You’re wondering how an otherwise functional human being can put something off for more than a quarter of a century. It’s easier than you think.

For starters, I’ve been busy. Maybe not twenty-six years worth of busy,

PAGE 38

but close. There’s barely been time to scratch myself since 1991 which certainly goes a long way to explaining why I feel so itchy all the time. In retrospect, it’s little wonder that I put a few things off for a while.

Western Port News 4 April 2017

First, there was grunge. For those of you who may have missed it, the grunge era was deceptively time intensive. I appreciate many will associate the era with ‘slackers’ but nothing could be further from the truth. Grant-

ed, there were fewer trips to the barber for a haircut, but grunge also involved super-charged levels of teenage angst which, for the first time, you were now allowed to wallow in throughout your twenties. Such intensity of emotion burned a lot of time and energy. Truth be told, I spent most of that era feeling exhausted.

After grunge, I was knee-deep in existential, pre-millennial anxiety. We all were. In addition to needing to churn through ten seasons of ‘Friends’, there was always the sneaking suspicion that if the apocalypse was ever going to happen, it just might prefer a big round number like ‘2000’. These concerns were fueled by the technology industry who usefully informed us that they’d neglected to use a fourdigit date code meaning that every computer in the universe might stop all at once, bringing life as we know it to an abrupt halt. It didn’t happen, of course, but it left me little in the way of spare time.

Since then, there’s been climate change, Brexit and the enduring mystery that is Donald Trump’s hair. These things have – both separately and collectively - occupied my every waking hour and quite a few of my sleeping ones too. All the while, a stuffed toy tiger sat on the bookshelf in my father’s house. Until last week. Recently, I disclosed that my father had finally had enough and asked me and my siblings to collect anything we still wanted before the last of our things were packed up for charity. So it was that, last weekend, I found myself scrutinizing the bookshelf in my old room. It was a strange task.

Some books had been prizes. Oth-

ers contained inscriptions from family members. Then there were various knick-knacks that had been shoved between and sometimes behind various books for safekeeping. The snow globe whose watery atmosphere had long since evaporated. The rabbit’s foot that was supposed to bring good luck to everyone except, presumably, the rabbit. The various medallions given to me mostly just for turning up. Then, of course, there was the tiger. Luckily, one of my nephews is a Richmond fan and I persuaded him to keep it. He seemed reluctant. I insisted. Finally, after twenty-six years, I managed to give away the toy tiger, even if not to the recipient I’d originally intended.

As I left with a box of books under my arm, I walked past the kitchen. It’s just been renovated and looks fantastic. Gone are the shelves that once hovered over the bench, ensuring that anyone leaning forward would concuss themselves as their forehead collided with a solid piece of timber. But something caught my eye. Off to the side I saw a tin of pasta. Plastic enveloped the rim, indicating that it had never been opened. A use-by date was visible: 30 June 1997. My father had a tin of pasta two decades beyond its use by date. Even when renovating the kitchen, he’d decided to keep it. It hit me with all the force of a poorly positioned kitchen shelf that holding on to the tiger for twenty-five years was not so much a failure on my part but an act of manifest destiny. Clearly, it’s genetic. I’ll be sure to tell my father as much sometime soon. Not that there’s any rush. There never is. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

ADAM BRAND WILL GET YOU ON YOUR FEET There’s a revolution happening in the world of Adam Brand. It’s a creative revolution that sees Brand redefin-ing boundaries and returning with the most ambitious record of his career, GET ON YOUR FEET. The album pushes the envelope in a way that few country artists of the modern era have ever attempted. This is Adam Brand in 2017, and he’s bringing a full deck of fine songs to the party that will establish a new high-water mark for him in a career that is already rich

with them.

With a new genre pushing record that’s set to send critics and fans reaching for new superlatives, Brand remains one the giants of modern Australian country music. One of country’s few contemporary icons, Brand has built a career that has seen him sell over half a million CDs and DVDs while earning three platinum and five gold albums.

His catalogue includes such seminal albums as Last Man Standing, Adam Brand, Get

Loud, Blame It On Eve and It’s Gonna Be OK. Throughout his career Adam Brand has been recognised internationally - particularly in the USA. He has an admirer in Taylor Swift - who hand picked him to tour with her in 2011.

Guitar Awards. He is also the series winner of Dancing With The Stars.

Still, the one thing that continues to define Adam Brand ‘the artist’ is his desire to evolve and move forward. Blazing a sonic trail fuelled by what is happening right now in muisc, GET ON YOUR FEET is a stellar return for the artist.

Macleod, Collyer coach game 400 on Saturday SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie GUS Macleod will coach his 400th league game for Langwarrin on Saturday when his side squares up to South Springvale at Warner Reserve.

A constant throughout Macleod’s tenure has been the presence of assistant coach and close friend Neil Collyer.

They are in their 19th season at Lawton Park and oversee a heavily revamped senior squad attempting to win its first title since 2004.

Manchester-born central defender George Whiteoak, 21, arrives from the UK this week and becomes the 11th newcomer to this year’s senior squad.

He is a friend of 23-year-old central defender Kieron Kenny who returned to England last month due to a family bereavement.

Whiteoak and Kenny were teammates at Macclesfield Town and more recently at Congleton Town but it is not known whether Kenny will return to Melbourne.

Another English import, Connor Belger, stole the show on Saturday and it was thanks to his stunning winner that Langy was able to maintain its State 1 South-East promotion push in a 2-1 come-from-behind win over visitor Morwell Pegasus.

The home crowd was stunned in the 28th minute when an Alpha Turay header gave Pegasus the lead.

Langy levelled in the 70th minute when a long ball by Speed fell in between substitute Nabil Mozaffaruddin and Alex Metcalfe with the latter striking a low shot past Andersen and into the far corner of the Pegasus goal.

The winner came in the 81st minute and was well worth the wait.

Belger controlled the ball just inside the Pegasus area on Langy’s right, cut inside then curled his left-foot strike over Andersen and into the top far corner to make it 2-1.

Mornington staged a brave second half fightback to earn a 2-2 draw against St Kilda in their State 1 clash at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday.

A long header forward allowed Steve McRae to nip in between Mornington central defensive duo Steve Elliott and Josh Valadon and slot the ball past advancing Mornington keeper Kris McEvoy after just 12 minutes and 10 minutes later a long ball downfield saw Valadon outmanoeuvred enabling a suspiciously offside McRae to effect a simple tap-in for his second.

Mornington hit back in the 70th minute when St Kilda’s keeper charged off his line but failed to make contact with a long throw.

The ball eventually fell to Wayne Gordon on the right of the St Kilda area and his square ball was sidefooted home from close range by Ryan Paczkowski.

Four minutes later scores were level after Paczkowski dummied a Nathan Smith corner and Valadon diving low headed the ball home.

Mornington continued to press without finding the breakthrough and had to settle for a share of the spoils.

Mornington captain Simon Webster is expected to return from injury this week for the home clash with Manningham United and forward Simon Mur is another who could feature in the matchday squad.

Harry McCartney reports that a well-executed Paul McGuire free kick in the 80th minute earned Seaford

PAGE 42

Major milestone: Langwarrin gaffer Gus Macleod. Picture: Picture: Paul Seeley

United a 1-1 draw in Saturday night’s away clash with Heatherton United.

The sides remained scoreless at the interval despite an entertaining first period in which Heatherton striker Ali Sanad and Seaford counterpart Dylan Waugh both looked dangerous.

Sanad’s free kick 10 minutes into the second half eluded all but teammate Klehic Meldin at the back post and his header opened the scoring.

Just when the spark had gone out of the contest a handball just outside the area presented McGuire with his chance and his powerful strike cleared the defensive wall and sailed into the top corner for a stunning reply.

Defender Chris McKenna made his debut for State 2 South-East side Peninsula Strikers on Saturday but his team went down 3-2 at home to Berwick City.

Erkam Filiz gave Berwick the lead in the 35th minute but a stunning 30-metre strike from Strikers’ midfielder Danny Brooks five minutes into the second half made it 1-1.

Berwick restored its lead six minutes later after Ruben Ichim capitalised on a mix-up between Troy Williams and Grant Davies and broke through to slot the ball past Strikers’ keeper Colin McCormack.

Gary Davidson made it 3-1 in the 69th minute and Strikers’ substitute Trevor Johnston capped an excellent interpassing move with a fine back post header in the 81st minute to make it 3-2.

Western Port News 4 April 2017

A major loss for Strikers was the stomach muscle injury to star hitman Aziz Bayeh which forced him off in the second half and may sideline him for a fortnight.

Frankston Pines hopes to resolve the international clearance wrangle involving Mauritian stars Christopher L’Enclume and Cedric Permal in time for this weekend’s away clash with Berwick City.

Pines suffered a 4-1 home loss on Saturday to Eltham Redbacks despite taking an early lead.

In the 15th minute a Sebastian Gueho cross from the left was met by Ben Millward whose header was tipped onto the bar by the Redbacks’ keeper and Munib Mohamed finished off the rebound to make it 1-0 for Pines.

A couple of minutes later scores were tied after a superb looping header at the back post by Andrew McLean sent the ball into the top far corner.

Mili Muratbegovic’s 41st minute strike gave Eltham the half-time lead and McLean’s second in the 65th minute gave the visitors a two-goal buffer.

In the 88th minute Matty Davies lost possession and Bradley James was sent through and he slotted the ball home to complete the scoreline.

Pines’ defender Graham Hill is back from suspension this week and the club is in talks with a central defender.

Skye United kicked off its 2017 State League 3 South-East campaign with an emphatic 6-2 away win over

Dingley Stars on Saturday.

With the game rescheduled at Kingston Heath Soccer Complex, the hosts struck first in the 34th minute.

However Skye captain Mark O’Connor cancelled out the opener in the same minute, wrong footing the Dingley keeper and scoring from the edge of the area through a sea of bodies.

Parity didn’t last long and a swift break saw Dingley regain its lead only minutes before half-time.

A five-goal second half barrage turned the game on its head and Skye’s goalfest started in the 54th minute when a Daniel Attard flick on enabled Nick Theodore to run on and finish with a strike into the bottom corner.

In the 64th minute Endeavour United recruit Jason Nowakowski followed up O’Connor’s free-kick which rattled the crossbar, nodding in from close range.

Two minutes later Attard made it four after Nowakowski’s cutback found the lanky striker inside the area and he volleyed past the Dingley keeper from a tight angle.

Attard assisted substitutes Mohammad Elhassan and Sean Ellicott to add two late goals to complete the rout.

Rosebud Heart is in uncharted territory after losing consecutive league games but despite losing Saturday’s State 4 South away clash 3-2 to Endeavour United its performance was a vast improvement on the previous

week’s derby loss to Baxter.

Heart went into this clash without Daniel Hodge, Adam Poole and Chris Sibson who were at a wedding and Hodge will have his tonsils removed on Friday so he’ll miss next weekend’s clash with Noble Park.

Endeavour made Heart pay for losing possession in midfield early in the first half when it broke forward quickly and Sebastian Goyenecha slotted the ball past advancing Heart keeper Sean Skelly.

Heart’s star striker Dave Greening hit back in the 33rd minute when he flicked a Blake Hicks’ cross past a defender then finished from a one-onone with the Endeavour keeper.

Four minutes later Heart went in front when a Ryan Monk volley could only be parried and Greening hammered the ball into the roof of the net.

But scores were level in the 39th minute when Heart again lost possession in midfield and a Dalveer Jandu strike made it 2-2.

Four minutes into the second stanza an excellent counter down the right and a cross was finished with a close range header by Ifelowoa Ogidan for the decisive goal.

On a positive note Italian midfielder Marco Cannella played half a game in the reserves and came off the bench in the second half of the senior game.

Baxter drew 2-2 at home in its State 4 South fixture against Noble Park last weekend with Jake Kidder scoring Baxter’s goals.

Somerville Eagles travelled to West Gippsland on Saturday only to go down 2-1 to Drouin Dragons in their State 5 South clash.

Eagles took a 1-0 lead into the break thanks to a 32nd-minute opener from Jarryd Lymer.

Brett Young impressed in his senior debut and the youngster drove the ball across the face of the Dragons’ goal for Lymer’s simple tap-in.

The home team hit back in the second half with goals to Mark Rossi and Daniel Patchett to seal the Eagles’ fate.

“We dominated for the first 45 minutes and could easily have gone in at half-time three or four goals up but we capitulated in the second half,” said Eagles’ coach Neil Herd.

Herd has only had 11 senior players at his disposal for the opening two rounds but expects to have a matchday squad of 15 to face Casey Panthers next weekend and there’s a chance that he could bring two more debutants into the starting 11.

This weekend’s games: FRIDAY, 8.30pm: Doncaster Rovers v Peninsula Strikers (Anderson Park).

SATURDAY, 3pm: Mornington v Manningham Utd Blues (Dallas Brooks Park), Sth Springvale v Langwarrin (Warner Reserve), Doveton v Seaford Utd (Waratah Reserve), Skye Utd v Brighton (Skye Recreational Reserve), Noble Park v Rosebud Heart (Norman Luth Reserve), Bayside Argonauts v Baxter (Shipston Reserve), Somerville Eagles v Casey Panthers (Somerville Secondary College).

SATURDAY, 7pm: Berwick City v Frankston Pines (Jack Thomas Reserve).

YCW predicted to have a bumper 2017 PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt IT’S hard not to get excited about the 2017 Peninsula Division season.

All clubs have worked tirelessly over the summer to improve their lists and it’s exciting to report that all have achieved their objective.

Without question, this is going to be the most competitive season in years.

Those that were hoping that Frankston YCW would slip will be saddened by the fact that they have recruited arguably the best Nepean Division defender of the past 10 years in Christian Ongarello, while they have also picked up a 21 monster who stands at 205cm and weight-in at 115kg. The Stonecats do have nine listed players in the VFL, including Ryan Santon, BJ Credlin, Lachy Wallace, Anthony Bruhn and ‘Bundy’ Barry. Whilst they’ll be the team to beat, they won’t be as strong as last season.

The team who led at half time in the grand final against YCW, Mt Eliza, had some deficiencies that seem to have been remedied – ruckman Grant Goodall was a must-get, Brett O’Hanlon was playing AFL a handful of years ago and Shane Tennant arrives with big wraps. The Mounties pre-season form wasn’t great but don’t be fooled, there’s no need to be great in March.

Pines has kept its stars and Paul Scanlon is leaner and fitter than ever.

With a goal-to-goal line of Edwards, Bongetti, Potts, Hendry and Hendry, they’ll be hard to beat.

Chelsea has added some quality to their list, including a late pick-up in Daly Shannon, who comes with big wraps from the Northern Territory.

Karingal has picked up some good players but have lost more. Bonbeach has topped-up with real talent, including former Saint Trent Dennis-Lane and Edithvale has been aggressive in their recruiting and the likes of Bowden, Clark and Tagg will be huge ins. Michael Bussey is a gun!

Langwarrin appears to be the only club not to have had much luck in the recruiting stakes, whilst Mornington has been quieter than usual too, although Xavier Barry-Murphy has huge wraps.

The team I expect will be a bolter in 2017 is Seaford. The Tigers improved

rapidly as the season went on last season and they have added some real A-Grade talent – Brayden Irving is said to be flying!

Bonbeach Ins: Trent Dennis-Lane (VAFA), Jason Ferraro (Central Highlands), Tom Stephens (Chelsea), Gavin Vassallo (North Central), Sam Williams (SFL), Ryan Eaton (Ellinbank FL) Outs: Nick Alexandrou (Hampden FL), Chris Bryan (Keysborough).

Injuries to key players at key times hurt the Sharks last season and they’ll be looking for a better run in 2017.

Trent Dennis-Lane, who has played at the highest level, is the obvious key to their pre-season movements, whilst they still have arguably the best player in the competition in Shane McDonald. Chris Bryan will be a loss considering his value deep forward.

The Sharks won’t challenge for the title but they’ll play a role in who plays finals.

Chelsea Ins: Brendan Dess (VAFA), Jack Gaze (Heathcote), Rhys Hensel (Tallangatta), Simon Mitchelhill (O&M), Matthew Mitchell (Essendon FL), Daniel Monforte (SFL), Aaron Pawel (Edi-Asp), Trent Styles (Karingal), Daly Shannon (NT) Outs: Beau Caia (Goulburn Valley FL), Ryan & Michael Dyer (Southern FL), Hudson Thomas (eastern FL).

The Gulls have been super active in the pre-season and the result has been some more than handy recruits. Offfield stability was as important to the Chelsea FC as on-field success and they have been able to enter the 2017 season with everyone committed and on the same page. The hoops are starting from a long way back though and whilst they’ll find more consistency and make-up some ground, finals isn’t a reality.

Edi-Asp Ins: Brent Bowden (Foster), Tom Burley (SFL), Michael Bussey (Eastern FL), Matt Clark (Foster), Dermot Cleary (VAFA), Ryde Love-Linay (VAFA), Rhett Moor (Foster), Brad Tagg (Foster), James Van-Minnen (SFL), Callan Vandyke (Foster), Tim Yeowart (SFL).

Outs: Lachlan Batten (Doveton), Shaun Jamieson (Eastern FL), Zac Muscialli (Dromana), Aaron pawel (Chelsea).

One thing we do know is that the Eagles are well coached. Personnel was an issue last season and they were a bit lean in their stocks. Some more than handy returns in Clark, Bowden and Tagg will make a difference while Bussey and Burley are significant ins. The Eagles did put a lot into Batten, however, and he doing a backflip and returning to Doveton has hurt their unlikely premiership aspirations.

Frankston YCW Ins: Christian Ongarello (Dromana), Lachy Williams (Nepean), Macklin Raine (Maffra) Outs: Jordan Alves (Tyabb), Aidan Fischer (Seaford).

Anyone who goes into this season not having Frankston YCW as premiership favourite needs to consider counselling. The Stonecats have lost some quality to the VFL, however, they have enormous talent underneath and have added one of the best defenders in the game in Christian Ongarello. Anthony Bruhn did a pre-season at Bulldogs, BJ Credlin at Richmond and Ryan Santon at Sandringham.

Karingal Ins: Damien Ashcroft (Paynesville), Paul Hopes (Northern FL), Andrew McInnes (Carlton), Chris McInnes (Devon Meadows), Steven Mihvec (Devon Meadows), Jesse Ramirez (VAFA), Aisea Valenti (Dolphins), Jacob Duscher (Dolphins) Outs: Harry Czarnecki (Southern FL), Grant Goodall (Mt Eliza), Anthony Joel (Ellinbank), Aaron Paxton (Sorrento), Leigh Poholke (Sorrento), Travis Puntaroni (South East FL), Tom Wilkinson (Murray FL) The Bulls will continue their improvement this season with some good recruits. Andrew McInnes from Carlton is the obvious big time get, while Damien Ashcroft and Aisea Valenti from Dolphins are big ins too.

They would have liked to have hungon to quality teenagers Czarnecki and Puntaroni, while skipper Paxton, Wilkinson and Goodall are significant outs. Karingal will improve a little but don’t expect too much movement up the ladder.

Langwarrin Ins: Jason Curry (Frankston Bombers), Jack Henderson (Devon Meadows), Owen Uaongo (SFL), Outs: Ryan Smyth (Dromana), Kyle

Bussuttil-Ingliss (Dromana), Dylan Luxa (Eastern FL), Mark McGill (AFL QLD) The Kangas were the surprise packet last season, given all of their exits during the 2016 pre-season. Kids were given an opportunity and despite a couple of horror defeats, were genuinely competitive. Most teams in the competition have recruited well in the off-season and will improve.

The Kangas haven’t been successful in the recruitment stakes and this will see them stagnate. Langwarrin will be looking for further improvement from the young talent but it won’t be enough not to finish bottom three.

Mornington Ins: Michael Barnes (Yarra Ranges), Xavier Barry-Murphy (Eastern FL), Rhys Healey (Bendigo FL), Brett McLeary (West Gippsland), Peter McGettigan (Central Highlands), Chris Williams (VAFA), Outs: Michael Altenkirch (Tyabb), James Cameron (AFL Townsville), Ryan O’Dell (Eastern FL), Barry Smeeton (AFL QLD), Ben Wells (Alberton FL), The Doggies have lost some topend talent in the pre-season and the likes of Jimmy Cameron, Smeeton and O’Dell won’t be easy to replace.

Coach Chris Holcombe is a craftsman though and always has the ability to pull a rabbit out of the hat. Mornington flew home last season and was one of the best performed teams after a slow and disappointing start – don’t expect a warm up this season from the boys in the kennel. A practice match victory over Hastings suggests the Doggies will be right in it.

Mt Eliza: Ins: Grant Goodall (Karingal), Brett O’Hanlon (Golden Rivers FL), Shane Tennant (Eastern FL), Outs: Jack Cole (Southern FL), Matt Neratzoglou (VAFA), At half time in the 2016 Grand Final, Mt Eliza looked the better team and many were justified in their thoughts that they would go on and win the flag. Whilst they were beaten, the Mounties know that they’re not far off. This would have spurred them during the pre-season. They have some of the best young talent in the competition and have added genuine A-Graders in Goodall, O’Hanlon and Tennant. With a year under the belt and knowing what to expect, the best

coach in the business in Troy Shannon will have them right where he needs them at the right time.

Pines Ins: Damien Lawrence (Seaford), Lachy Marshall (Pearcedale), Taylor Meyer (Southern FL), Ben Thomas (Alberton FL), Byron Tovara (Southern FL), Jordan Waite (Southern FL), Shaun White (Ellinbank).

Outs: The Pythons couldn’t afford to lose anyone in the off-season, given their skinny list, and all indications are that they have kept them all, except for a couple of retirements. Pines has been big on recruiting young talent to the club to ensure sustainable success and the likes of Lawrence and Marshall fit that bill. Shaun White returns too, which is great news. We know Pines has arguably the best four players in the competition in Aaron Edwards, Luke Potts, Paul Scanlon (has dropped seven kilos) and Tim Bongetti and if they can play every game, then Pines should be there when the whips are cracking again.

Seaford Ins: Jack Ball (Southern FL), Aiden Fischer (Frankston YCW), Daniel Lewis (Ovens & King FL), Matthew McCormack (Eastern FL), Damien Rayson (VAFA), Nick Shannon (Southern FL), Tom Shaw (Somerville), Brayden Irving (Dolphins).

Outs: Damien Lawrence (Pines), Seaford progressed very nicely under first year coach Ben Murphy last season and you can expect the improvement to continue in 2017.

Seaford will be the bolter this season and leap into the top three with some more than handy recruits, led by ruckman Nick Shannon from Narre Warren, Matthew McCormack from the Eastern FL (Norwood), Damien Rayson from the Ammos and century goal kicker Daniel Lewis joins the returning Tommy Shaw in the forward line. Brayden Irving returns from the Dolphins, Mark Di Blasio from a knee and Dean Williamson from an ankle.

2017 Ladder Prediction: Frankston YCW, Mt Eliza, Pines, Seaford, Edithvale, Bonbeach, Mornington, Karingal, Chelsea, Langwarrin

Frankston tipped to top Nepean in 2017 NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt Season 2017 brings with it a real air of excitement.

There are four new coaches in the competition - Leigh Stewart at Pearcedale, Bevan Malloy at Somerville, Brad Arnold at Crib Point and Adrian McBean at Rosebud – all are expected to have positive impacts on their clubs.

Round 1 is mouth-watering and in many ways will tell a lot about what we can expect from teams this season.

Tyabb has the benefit of playing last week against Hastings when it faces Crib Point this week.

The Yabbies have added some talent and the Pies have lost some – mainly in ruckman James Cook.

Frankston hosts Dromana – what a great first-up game for the Tigers to see where they’re at against the side many believe are certainties for the premiership. Bombers pre-season

form has been sensational, beating Frankston YCW, Mt Eliza and Bonbeeach, all Peninsula finals teams last season.

The Tigers needed some height and strength around the footy and they have been able to get that.

Pearcedale and Devon Meadows go toe-to-toe. The hoops are probably on the rise and Devon had 20-odd players apply for a clearance from their club.

Somerville, which has lost three starting forwards and three starting defenders from their best 2016 side, host Red Hill, who have recruited a couple.

Rosebud, which finished third last season, hosts the team many believe will make a significant move – Sorrento. The Buds have a new coach and that will make a significant difference. Sorrento has recruited nothing but A-Graders and will be right there when the whips are cracking.

Finally, the premiers, Hastings,

who have added a couple, play host to Rye, who have lost the fab-four, as well as Brady Egan.

There’s more questions than answers as we head into Round 1, however, things should present a little clear at 5pm on Saturday.

Let’s take a look at the ins and outs.

Crib Point Ins: Elliot Avis (VAFA), Mitchell Chopping (Peninsula Div), Aaron King (Hastings), Ben King (Hastings), Outs: James Cook (Alberton), Lee Koerner (Somerville), Kain Stratton (Hastings) The general feeling among the Magpies in 2017 under new ‘first time’ coach Brad Arnold is that kids are going to be given every opportunity.

There hasn’t been a lot of recruiting in the off-season and the loss of ruckman James Cook and run-with player Kain Stratton will be signifi-

cant. Don’t expect too much ladder movement.

Devon Meadows Ins: Matthew Italiano (Essendon FL), Allan Murray (Eastern FL), Outs: Jack Hazendonk (Poowong), Chris Doria (Poowong), Alex Doria (Poowong), Mitch Bond (Elinbank), Rhys Shortis (Elinbank), Craig Thorne (Elinbank), Troy Aust (South East FL), Josh Stewart (South East FL), Jayden Sullivan (South East FL), Brandon Wapshot (South East FL), Corey Walker (South East FL), Brodie White (South East FL), Tyrone Achilies, Brayden Calvert (VAFA), Nathan Dumergue (Southern FL), Kai Phillipson (Southern FL), Dean Smith (Yarra Ranges), Steven Mihvec (Karingal), Chris & Andrew McInnes (Karingal), Dylan Hand (retired), Glenn Michie (retired), Steven Roberts (retired), Marcus Roberts (retired), Jack Henderson (Langwarrin).

The big story of the pre-season has been the huge amount of clearances

requested from Devon Meadows. The last time we saw something like this in the MPNFL was at Karingal and they now are only getting back on their feet. Activity long before Christmas suggested then that Devon players were having meetings with other clubs and yours truly was hearing from various sources that between 1015 players were considering a move.

I was publicly smashed for sharing the information, however, it appears now that the information presented was unfortunately conservative. In further worrying news, the club was also advertising for Under 19s prior to the season. Unfortunately for the Panthers, the season is going to be a lean one.

Dromana Ins: Jacob Barker (Southern FL), Kyle Busuttil-Inglis, Ryan Smyth (Langwarrin), Cameron Carmody (Yarra Ranges), Jeremy Daniel (Tyabb), Zac Muscialli (Edi-Asp), Continued next page

Western Port News 4 April 2017

Continued from previous page Outs: Rohan Bleeker (Elinbank), Christian Ongarello (YCW).

One should not underestimate the significant loss of multiple Team of the Year player Christian Ongarello.

‘Onga’ provides enormous leadership and allowed the coach Rikki Johnston to swing. They needed some support for Beau Cosson and got it in the form of Cameron Carmody. They also needed some grunt around the footy – enter Zac Muscialli from Edithvale.

The Tigers will be knocking on the door again but not loud enough to break-in.

Frankston Ins: Mitch Bosward (Central Murray), Corey Buchan (Dolphins), Alex Harnett (Pearcedale), Jay Reynolds (Central Murray).

Outs: Nil Many believe that Frankston Bombers is the flag favourite going into the 2017 season. It has recruited extremely well and the pre-season form has been faultless. Without question, on paper, the Bombers are the best side in it. There is only one way up for the Bombers and that is to go one step better. There’s no question they will have learned a lot from last season and will be better prepared.

Hastings Ins: Ricky Ferraro (Central Highlands), James Marasco (Yarra Ranges), Kain Stratton (Crib Point), Outs: Damien Stone (Southern FL), Ben & Aaron King (Crib Point).

The Blues have added some real talent to a list that was the best side in the finals series in 2016 and ultimately won the premiership. Things clicked for the Blues in the final six weeks of the season and many say they started playing the ‘Brendan Dunne way’.

2017 is about hunger. If the hunger is still as strong to go back-to-back, they

have to be the team to beat.

Pearcedale Ins: Billy Bryant (Colac), Caleb Cox, Harrison Thompson, Dylan Ryan, Jake Ryan (Somerville), Basil Sibasado (West Gippsland).

Outs: Alex Harnett (Bombers), Chris Irving (Red Hill), Dean Janssen (Eastern FL), Lachy Marshall (Pines).

A new coach in the experienced Leigh Stewart will bring some renewed enthusiasm. ‘Stewy’ is an experienced, tactical campaigner, however, he is also old-fashioned and a traditionalist. ‘Stewy’ won’t try and over complicate the game style and will play to his team’s strengths.

Expect a more consistent Dales that will trouble some sides, however, they won’t push for a place in the top five.

Red Hill Ins: Ben Hughes (Gippsland FL), Chris Irving (Pearcedale) Outs: Harry Larwill (VAFA), Two big ‘ins’ in Ben Hughes and Chris Irving are going to make the Hillmen a much better side. The enigmatic Harry Larwill leaves, which will rob coach Tony Blackford of a player who can play both ends. The Hillmen led the eventual 2016 premier midway through an elimination final. They should be there again, however, they will need some luck along the way.

Rosebud Ins: Felix Dunn, Oliver Dunn (Ellinbank), Keiran Eddington (VAFA), Brayden Glaum (VAFA), Hamish Martin (AFL North Coast), Jake McBean (AFL Barwon), Rhys McLennan (Bendigo FL), Seth O’Reily (Central Gippsland), Ed Schellander (Essendon FL), Bart Wallace (Yarra Ranges), Tyler Sinclair (Heathcote) Outs: Lachy Armstrong (Golden Rivers), Glen Boyington (Maryborough), Cody Mulcair (Maryborough), Nick Boswell (Pines).

The Buds have recruited quite well and will no doubt benefit from having a new coach in the very experienced Adrian McBean. The Buds have a wealth of talent and given the right direction, will have sustained success for years. Their best is potent and even under trying circumstances last season, still finished top three. The Buds are definitely part of premiership discussions.

Rye Ins: Rhys Burns (Sorrento), Tim Churchin (AFL Cairns), Harley Cole (Sunraysia), Zac Little (Eastern FL), Jari McDonald (North Gippsland), Gabrielle Nicolla (Red Hill), Renton Sanderson (Sorrento), Dekodda Thomson-Irvin (Sorrento), Ben Trivett (VAFA), Jamie Turner (Alberton), Oscar Whitty (Mt Eliza) Outs: Nathan Henley, Ryan Mullett, Dean Millhouse, Simon Taylor, (Southern FL), Harry Crowe (VAFA), Brady Egan (North East FL).

It’s going to be a very, very tough year for Rye. The Demons have lost the big connection in Henley, Mullet, Millhouse and Bardon and have not replaced them. Its best young talent in Brady Egan has also gone. There’s a concentration on youth at the club, which is great for the future, however, it will take time to deliver any results.

There’s no way the Demons will win more than they lose.

Somerville Ins: Andres Everitt (Carlton), Lee Koerner (Crib Point) Outs: Luke Collie (Mid-Gippsland), Calex Cox (Pearecdale), Ben Crowe (VAFA), Tom Shaw (Seaford), Adam Rose (VAFA), Dylan & Jake Ryan (Pearcedale), Caleb Cox (Pearcedale), Scott Simpson (WAFL), Michael Towan (VAFA), Todd Farrelly (retired), Luke Rowe (Overseas).

James Tomlinson (South East FL), Tyson Wilson (VAFA).

Outs: Adrian Clay (Maryborough), Jeremy Daniel (Dromana), Corey Buchan (Bombers).

The Yabbies have continued their successful recruiting drive in the off-season, adding young talent to ensure long-term sustainability. Coach Mark Paganoni and his support team should be commended. They have thought outside the square (Daniel Kerr against Hastings) and looked at ways to bring the right attention to the club. The Yabbies were very competitive for the most part last season and they’ll be looking to improve on that for the full season. The Yabbies will win a few games.

lies. David Hirst steps aside as coach and the experienced and highly-decorated Bevan Malloy comes in, despite not coaching for a handful of years.

They lose forwards Luke Rowe, Ben Crowe and Tom Shaw, as well as key defenders Todd Farrelly, Luke Collie and Scott Simpson. The Ryan’s also head to Pearcedale. Andres Everitt will be a great recruit but he can’t be everywhere. The Eagles will be the side that drops out for the expense of Sorrento.

Sorrento Ins: Chris Dawes (Melbourne), Troy Schwarze (Kyabram), Daniel Grant (AFL QLD), Andrew Lovett (Sunraysia), Justin McCleary (Ellinbank), Aaron Paxton (Karingal), Leigh Poholke (Karingal), Outs: Rob Forrest (Avon FL), Brodie Webb (Mid Gippsland), There has been no bigger talk in the pre-season than Sorrento. Whilst the Sharks have done their very best to keep things low key, it’s hard to do so when you recruit an AFL premiership player in Chris Dawes. Poholke returns to get the third or fourth best defender, while Paxton and McLeary are recruited to strengthen the defence.

Then two of the best running defenders the game has seen at local level in Daniel Grant and Troy Schwarze decide to return – and did we mention Andrew Lovett! The Sharks will be the bolter.

Tyabb Ins: Jordan Alves (YCW), Michael Altenkirch (Mornington), Luke Bakker (South East FL), Jed Benham (South East FL), Nick Cox (Peninsula), Jesse Day (South East FL), Matt Grazules (South East FL), Matt Harvey-Sich (South East FL), Jarryd Hendrikx (West Gippsland), Ben Little (South East FL), Jordan Pollard (VAFA), Matt Shaw (South East FL),

Hastings come out on top in season opener On Saturday the reigning premiers travelled to Tyabb for their opening round clash.

In what was going to be a tough affair with the inclusion of former West Coast Eagle Daniel Kerr, the Yabbies certainly impressed in the opening quarter with the game being played at a fast pace.

The Hastings boys completely dominated proceedings after quarter time to come away convincing winners.

The club now looks forward to it’s home clash against Rye for the unveiling of their 2016 premiership flag. The club hopes that the whole Hastings community gets along and supports the club on this very special day.

In fabulous news for the club our women’s team played a practise game against Tyabb women’s football side; it was a fabulous day for both clubs.

Seniors Report We got the season off with a win!

It was a big day for Tyabb FC and they appeared a much improved side this year.

They come out firing and were in front at quarter time. I felt like our pressure was down and that we had wasted some opportunities, but the boys responded playing good footy from there on.

We changed some things in the structure and were able to get the game back on our terms. It was good to come away with an over 100 point win.

Well done to all the new guys in the side and also well done Kain Stratton on 50 games and big Josh Mulheron on 150 games for the club well done boys.

Reserves Report After a long pre-season round one is finally here. I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the year.

We had a fantastic start to the game throwing on five goals unanswered in

the first quarter. To Tyabb’s credit they hit back in the second to bring it back to a two goal lead at halftime.

The third quarter was a bit of an arm wrestle, we kept them in the game with some easy misses at goal. The last quarter I spoke to the boys about keeping our structures and our game plan and the rest will take care of itself.

We ended up running away with a 30 point win.

I’m very proud of the boys as we were challenged in parts of the game.

Tyabb are a much improved team and I’m sure will go onto having a fairly decent year.

We move onto Rye next week and hope to keep our winning ways.

Best players Jake Dade Bell, James Forecast, Dave Hull.

Under 19’s In a well fought out contest the boys never gave up in their first clash for the season. The club would like to thank Beleura under 17s for the loan of three players who all played their part in the win. The win was outstanding, particularly the last quarter the boys kicked five goals to come away with a fabulous win.

We must stay focus now and look forward to our next clash against Rye at home.

Netball Report Round one was a showering day at Tyabb, making the courts a bit slippery.

D grade started first up and we welcomed lots of new faces to this team as well as some familiar faces back from the 2017 season, with Taylah Strange as their coach. They competed throughout the whole match and started to get some rhythm the more the match went on.

There is lots to work on but a positive first match.

Candice Chalmers made her debut as

coach of the C grade team. Candice was pleased with how the match went considering they are a new combination.

Lots to work on but plenty of positives.

B grade was a highly competitive and entertaining match for the first half.

Coach Karen Gay said Tyabb’s tight defences caused turnovers through the mid court. But overall a good start to our 2017 season.

It was a great start to our season with all players supporting each other and lots supporters cheering the girls on.

Womens Football In only their second game of AFL women’s football our girls were very competitive. It showed that as they continually develop they are going to become a very important part of the club’s future. A huge congratulations to John Mitchel and all his helpers. The club looks forward to their next game which will be after Easter when they take on Cerberus.

Upcoming Functions On the 13 May at 12pm the club will be holding the fourth John Coleman Luncheon which will include the Hastings Hall of fame with 10 former players/officials with our second legend being inducted. We have special guest former Richmond Great Michael “Disco” Roach plus the Nelson Twins as the comedy act for the day. This is such a fantastic day for the club, Bookings can be made directly by calling the Hastings Club on 5979 1740 cost is $65 Single.

Next home game Hastings FNC vs Rye at Hastings all games start from 10am onwards.

Invitation to the whole Hastings community this Saturday 8 April for the unveiling of our 2016 premiership flag.

Imogen eyes volleyball goals

By Stephen Taylor LIFE revolves around a court – either indoors or at the beach – for Mornington volleyballer Imogen Barron-Toop.

When she’s not diving for the ball or smashing a return she’s probably thinking about it.

Imogen, 15, heads to Perth on Wednesday to compete in the Victorian beach volleyball team. She will stay

on to train at the Australian beach volleyball camp before going to Thailand to play for Australia in the junior women’s development team, this time in indoor volleyball.

Imogen hopes to pick up a US college volleyball scholarship and, eventually, play the sport professionally. To achieve this she is compiling a CV – much of it on video – showing footage of her skills in competition.

Burn less money this winter the cost-saving alternative that a wood heater can offer”. If you consider wood in most cases can be sourced cheaply or at no cost, and a slow combustion fire can heat for a prolonged period of time, with extended heat retention, the cost saving benefits are indisputable.

The range of wood heaters has increased immensely (supported by a growing market), imported fireplaces drawn from afar as France supply the latest design trends in architecture and design; prized for their heating superiority.

The latest range includes specialist fireplaces designed to be used as a primary ducted heating system, with the capacity to provide heating in a large home, to small freestanding wood heaters designed to heat single rooms, boasting quality and effectiveness, there is a wood heater to suit a variety of heating requirements. In addition the spectrum of styles, design and finishes has grown immensely in recent years; there is now a wood heater to suit every home.

With a wide range of leading gas and wood heater brands, Woodpecker can assist you in finding the best heating solution for your home.

WITH the closure of Hazelwood Power Station looming, Victorian’s consumers could expect to see the average residential energy bill surge, it’s no surprise approaching this winter alternative heating methods have seen a renewed interest.

Gas and electricity make up a large proportion of household bills (according to liveinvictoria. vic.gov the average monthly household energy bill amounts to $330-$550 depending on household size and occupants); this rises in the colder months when there is a higher dependence on heating. Due to these cost increases, one particular heating method that is seeing renewed interest is wood heaters.

While traditionally gas fireplaces have dominated the market with their perceived convenience, ease of use and former low fuel cost, this trend is set to reverse this winter, with the wood heater market beginning to dominate.

It might surprise you to hear that this centuries ”old technology” is, in fact, at the forefront of advances in design, ingenuity and technology; Steve Frankland owner of Woodpecker Heating & Cooling states “now is the time to consider

Undercover Blinds have your windows covered

12344823-RC14-17

THE team at Undercover Blinds has over 100 years combined experience within the blinds and awnings industry.

If you are looking for a quality solution to your outdoor shade project, they can help. With their years of experience in the industry you will have the expert advice you need for a successful project.

Owner, Chris Reynolds, started Undercover Blinds in 2007 primarily as an installations company, and then two years later he saw a decent opportunity in specialized external applications.

“The team at Undercover Blinds have arranged many award winning installations as we are all about awnings and blinds. We are passionate about supplying high quality products for our customer’s particular application,” said Chris. “Our core products are folding arm awnings and the next biggest would be alfresco blinds, where you put blinds around the outside area to create a room.”

Chris says the most on trend product at the moment would have to be the all season’s retractable roofing system.

“This system is without a doubt the next big thing. It has become extremely popular for outdoor areas and some people are designing their alfresco areas around it. We have been doing these retractable roofs for 20 years but lately they have become one of the most popular products.

You can use them on large areas of small patios,” said Chris.

Undercover Blinds has always had a strong focus on quality which Chris is proud to say continues today.

“Our company is built to a standard and not a price.

There is a strong focus on quality and expertise in everything we do. We primarily focus on the Mornington Peninsula from Mordialloc to Portsea.”

Undercover Blinds specialise in all outdoor awnings and blinds.

They are open Monday to Friday from 7.30am till 5.30pm, and Saturday by appointment.

Undercover Blinds is at Factory 21/61 Frankston Gardens Drive, Carrum Downs.
