Candidates against shire land sale NEARLY 100 people turned up on Saturday afternoon to listen to candidates in the Red Hill ward election. All 17 candidates were invited to speak at Balnarring Hall, however, four were absent: Peter Holloway, Bryan Payne, Brian Morgan and Leigh Coleman. The 13 candidates who did attend all put up their hands when asked if they opposed selling four blocks of land in Balnarring’s town centre owned by Mornington Peninsula Shire. Candidates at the meeting were Shawn Jackson, Michael Treadwell, Leigh Eustace, Rose Ljubicic, Kerry Watson, Tim Wood, Kate Roper, Kylie Greer, Neale Adams, Barbara Porter, Alistair Young, Mark Fancett and Darren Andrew. “They all raised their hands when asked if the land should be kept for public open space,” Bronwyn Dick, of the Balnarring Village Common, said. She said the majority of candidates “have really good reasons for standing” and the group would not be recommending support for any one candidate. “We have complete confidence in the intelligence of voters to make an informed decision,” Ms Dick said. “It's vital that we elect a councillor who will support our community on local issues. “The call to retain four blocks of land in the centre of town remains undecided and we expect our new Red Hill Ward councillor to take the fight up to council.” The ayes have it: Candidates in the Red Hill ward byelection indicate their opposition to Mornington Peninsula Shire selling four blocks of land in the centre of Balnarring when asked by master of ceremonies Murray Turner at a meeting on Saturday.

Mayor blasts Labor’s ‘new’ port Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Antonella Celi has dubbed a Labor Party plan for a new container port near Geelong “fundamentally flawed”. A statement issued by the mayor on Thursday supporting the $12 billion expansion of the Port of Hastings means the shire will be at odds with the state government if Labor wins the November election.
“The proposal to build an eight kilometre-long pier is problematic enough, but when you consider the amount of dredging that would be required to accommodate the larger vessels, it just doesn’t stack up – particularly when Hastings is already a natural deep water port,” Cr Celi said. Before Cr Celi’s endorsement of expanding the Port of Hastings, the shire’s position had been to give “in principle” support. “However, this support has been
conditional on satisfactory resolution of the issues raised by the community, particularly ensuring that Hastings is further developed as an environmentally sustainable ‘green port’, and that the necessary transport infrastructure is provided ahead of demand to avoid adverse traffic and rail transport impacts on the shire’s townships,” officers stated in a report to councillors last week. “The business case should also clearly identify the economic benefits to the Shire and the south east region.”
The state government has not released cost estimates of upgrading rail and road links to service the new port. The mayor’s decision to enter the battle over the site for Melbourne’s next container port comes a month after Victoria University researchers issued a warning that Western Port may not be the best option for a new container port. The Build it – but will they come? report cast doubts on the need for a port that can accommodate the world’s
largest ships. Co-author Professor Hermione Parsons said the decision of where to build a port was too important to be left to politicians. Ports Minister David Hodgett last week issued a statement saying the report “contains many inaccuracies” and was “based on the false belief that larger ships will never come to Victoria and that catering for them is a waste of time”.

Far away theme for book launch AUTHORS have overrun Petersen's Bookshop in Hastings – in the nicest possible way, of course. On Saturday last week, awardwinning writer Wendy Orr launched her latest book Rescue on Nim's Island, the third in the Nim series for children. The first two books in the series – Nim’s Island and Nim at Sea – were made into movies. To enhance the island theme, staff built a bat cave from brown paper and twine, and Tall Trees Nursery brought in palms for the rainforest. Staff member Christine painted the children’s faces and the Moonlit Sanctuary bought in a large snake and a dragon lizard. Other regular customers also brought reptiles, including Ruby and Carl. Everyone enjoyed tropical food and fruit punch. The shop was full to overflowing, and Orr was kept busy signing copies of her books. With one launch down, the store is leaping straight into another this week.
On Thursday at 5.30pm Rachel Spratt - the author of nine of the popular Nanny Piggins series – will launch her new book Friday Barnes, Girl Detective. This series is about a girl who is a cross between Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes and is, of course, great at solving mysteries. It’s certain to delight readers aged 7-12. Spratt will tell us what it’s like to write about Nanny Piggins, the pig with a penchant for chocolate and a propensity for trouble, who is the nanny of three human children. And Nanny Piggins herself will also make an appearance - and take questions from the audience. The afternoon will feature a book signing and a chance to talk one-onone with this internationally published author. The event is free. Visit info@teachersresource.com.au to book a place and/ or pre-order Spratt’s books.Petersen’s Bookshop is at 103 High St, Hastings. Steve Taylor
Copper ‘thief ’ caught in act
‘Thanks Wendy’: Nim’s Island colouring competition winner Athena Ballas receives a family pass to the Moonlit Sanctuary from Natalie Petersen.
Fisheries officers net greedy angler FISHERIES officers will charge a man with catching more than the legal limit of grass whiting from Flinders pier. Acting on a tipoff, the officers watched the man as he reeled in fish after fish, before finally booking him for having 101 grass whiting, 81 more than the daily bag limit. Senior fisheries officer Rod Barber said the man, 52, was seen to catch
more than the daily limit in two hours. “The officers then observed the man pack the fish into a plastic bag, walk off the pier and place the bag into the boot of his car,� Mr Barber said. “The man then walked back to the pier, resumed fishing and allegedly took another 12 grass whiting. At this point the Fisheries Officers intercepted the man and inspected his car.�
Mr Barber said the officers found 89 grass whiting in the boot bringing his total catch to 101, “more than five times the daily bag limit for that species�. The man will be charged on summons with exceeding the daily bag limit for grass whiting and will appear in the Frankston Magistrates Court at a later date. “This is a great example of how ac-

curate and timely reporting of illegal fishing activity can help us to ensure the sustainability of the state’s fisheries,� Mr Barber said. “This kind of behaviour is unacceptable and shows a blatant disregard for our valuable natural resources in Victoria.� Reports of illegal fishing can be made to the 13 34 74 hotline.

A 35-year old Hastings man was arrested and charged after being caught with a large quantity of allegedly stolen copper wire last week. Hastings police said they discovered the man sitting in a vehicle in a car park in Victoria St stripping plastic from a length of copper wire about 8.10am on Thursday 31 July. A search of the vehicle revealed a large cache of allegedly stolen wire. Detective Leading Senior Constable Brian James said the insulated copper wire was suspected of having been stolen from a building site. The man was charged with theft and bailed to appear before Frankston Magistrates Court on 17 October. His arrest follows a spate of robberies from building sites across the Mornington Peninsula in recent months. More than 20 properties under construction between Portsea, Mornington and Hastings have been hit since June, with thieves targeting building materials such as copper wire and timber, tools and white goods. Residential homes under construction or renovation have been the most common targets, police said. Thieves have tended to focus on building works in the final stage of construction due to the presence of more high-value and easily removed items such as electrical wiring, air-conditioning units and hot water systems. Anyone noticing suspicious activity around building sites is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Confidential crime reports can also be lodged at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au Chris Brennan

Mayor attacks Labor over port Continued from Page 1
Mr Hodgett said it would be “completely ignorant” and “economically reckless” to assume that the size of container ships would stop increasing. “To stick one’s head in the sand and mount arguments based the false belief that larger ships will not come here will have huge implications on Victoria’s economic prospects.” Mr Hodgett said Victoria needed the “sort of visionary thinking” of former Victorian premier Sir Henry Bolte who “zoned land in Hastings for port use back in the 60s”. At the time, Sir Henry envisaged Western Port as being the “Ruhr of the south” – emulating Germany’s massive industrial centre - and said petrochemical companies facing tough environmental laws in Europe should be invited to operate at Hastings. When asked about atmospheric pollution, Sir Henry replied: “it’ll blow away”. Mr Hodgett’s statement is published in full in Letters, Page 8. Maritime analyst Sandy Galbraith was quoted in The Age newspaper last week as saying the shipping industry “doesn’t want [Labor’s] Bay West”. He said trucking companies had a “great vested interest” in a port on the western side of Port Phillip “but that’s not the driver of where Melbourne’s next port needs to be, ships are”. Dr Parsons argues that Victoria should have a fall-back position if the Port of Hastings proposal does not prove viable, economically and environmentally. While the state is spending $110 million on studies over four years to show the port is viable, Dr Parsons says its development may not be able to meet international obligations to protect wetlands. Her report estimates more than 70 per cent of containers would have to reach Hastings – by road or rail – through metropolitan Melbourne, increasing distances from the current average of 22 kilometres to more than 100. Dr Parsons’ report stated that it was “simplistic” to expect large ships would head to Melbourne because there was a port. It was a view “not reflected in the commercial operations of shipping companies or the supply chain industries in international or capital city markets”. “The Port of Hastings Development Authority projects anticipated service of container mega ships can be put into context by comparing with those trading on the major east-

west shipping routes between Asia and Europe. The Port of Rotterdam handles mega ships to service a market hinterland of 350 million people, compared with Australia’s total market population of 23 million people and Victoria’s current population of 6 million that is anticipated to grow to 10 million people by 2050.” Cr Celi said the Port of Hastings was the “only operational deep water port capable of accommodating the larger container ships currently being constructed and used worldwide”. “Hastings is perfectly placed to be Victoria’s second container port,” Cr Celi said. “There is 3500 hectares of land already zoned for portrelated activities available within the precinct, which is unique in Australia. “The development of the Port of Hastings is a great opportunity for our region, providing a significant boost to our local economy and creating sustainable employment opportunities for our community today and for future generations.” Cr Celi said a Department of Transport investigation of Labor’s so-called Bay West plan found that 66 million to 84 million cubic metres of material would need to be dredged from the sea floor so ships could reach the site – “up to four times more than was dredged in the previous channel-deepening project”. The Build it – but will they come? report says the size of ships coming to Australia will be determined by the shallowest port. “The greater proposed water depth at the Port of Hastings, therefore, may have little or no influence on the size of vessels, given that the container ships normally also serve the other capital cities with ports that will not accommodate the larger vessels. “Unless each major capital city port deepens their shipping channel and berths, the larger vessels will not come. “The stark differences in market sizes emphasise that in order to maintain a container shipping service that satisfies Australia’s need for reliable, regular (weekly) movement of imports and exports, particularly the substantial agricultural and perishable food-related exports, the smaller container vessels are likely to be more suitable than the larger mega ships; the transit times of Australia’s agricultural and food exports are kept to a minimum through regular and frequent direct vessel calls across all Australian ports.”
Vote 1 Mark Fancett I stand as an independent. I have lived in Red Hill for 25 years and love this region. Many of us are frustrated by the level of inaction in our ward. I am motivated by the need for real community representation, more transparency in council process and for improved services to enhance our region for residents and visitors alike.
Red Hill Ward residents regularly express concern with poor representation and lack of support from the council.
Residents need to ask: • Do the candidate’s priorities address the concerns of Red Hill Ward residents rather than being vague statements? Do the candidate’s indicative voting preferences support the concerns of Red Hill Ward residents?

Spreading climate of change ‘reality’ Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FORMER prime minister Kevin Rudd called it “the greatest moral, economic and social challenge of our time” but failed to meet the challenge, avoiding the reality of dealing with climate change for political reasons. However, tackling climate change is something five local climate reality ambassadors are determined to achieve, both by their day-to-day actions in living a sustainable lifestyle and by spreading the word that time is fast running out for governments to act to make a real difference before it is too late. Former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Reade Smith, South East Councils Climate Change Alliance excutive officer Greg Hunt (not the federal environment minister and Flinders MP), wildlife conservationist Sarah Beebe and associate nurse manager Sharon Kellett have signed up to join a green army with a difference: the Climate Reality Leadership Corps. The four attended a training session last month presented by former US vice-president Al Gore in Melbourne.
Mr Gore narrated the 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth which brought the dangers the world faces from climate change to widespread attention. He has dedicated his postpolitical life to lobbying governments around the world to reduce carbon emissions to tackle climate change. The four climate reality ambassadors are available to give presentations on how a sustainable future can still be attained by making a global shift from dirty fossil fuels to clean, renewable energies like solar and wind. Ms Kellett, a 51-year-old mother of three, said she took governments’ inaction on climate change “personally.” “As a mother I make no apology in taking this very personally,” she said. “If it is the business of future generations, then it is my business too.” “The training we received with the Climate Reality Project was anything but doomsday. It informed us regarding the many ways that we can address climate change, both as global humanity and as Australians.” Visit www.climaterealityproject. org to book a presentation by a local climate reality ambassador.

A MOUNT Martha father who had been surfing at Point Leo died after being dragged unconscious from the water on Saturday. The man, aged in his 40s, was surfing at Crunchy Point, when he is believed to have hit rocks in shallow waters about 3pm. Social media comments suggested the man had been surfing with his son at the time of the incident. He was understood to be a “good surfer” and a regular at the popular peninsula break. An ambulance spokesperson said members of the public had attempted to resuscitate the man after dragging him from the water. “Paramedics were called just before 3pm after a man was found face down in the water at Point Leo,” the ambulance spokesperson said. “He was dragged unconscious from the water by bystanders who then performed CPR for several minutes before paramedics arrived and took over resuscitation efforts. However, he was unable to revived and was pronounced dead at the scene.” Police are investigating the incident and will prepare a report for the coroner.

Icy blast IT wasn’t quite snow but it might as well have been as the peninsula copped a savage blast of icy conditions over the weekend. After one of the mildest winters on record, peninsula residents received a nasty reminder of just how cold a “proper” Melbourne winter can be, with the mercury plunging to 16-year lows. Thursday’s sleet storm produced the starkest images of the wintry cold snap, with roads including Peninsula Link turned white by a blanket of snow-like ice, offset by menacing black skies. But the accompanying temperatures were almost balmy compared to what was to follow. Ironically, it was the clear skies over the weekend that brought the coldest conditions, with temperatures plunging to below freezing on Western Port. Officially, the temperature hit minus 0.8 at HMAS Cerberus on Sunday morning, compared to 2.7 at Frankston. Unofficially, all agreed it was “bloody cold”. Picture: James Trevellyan
A 25-year-old Cribb Point man caught driving while more than five-times the legal alcohol limit had his vehicle was confiscated after police found him bogged in a Baxter park in the early hours of Saturday. Mornington police discovered the man’s Toyota four-wheel drive bogged in the middle of Baxter Park off Sages Rd about 3.40am. Police said damage to the oval suggested the man had been performing “burnouts” prior to becoming stuck. After returning a positive result to a preliminary breath test, the man was taken to Mornington police station where an official blood-alcohol analysis showed a reading of .265. He is expected to be charged on summons with various traffic offences including highrange drink driving, while his vehicle was confiscated for 30 days.

100% of your fire levy goes to our fire services Last year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fire services, not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession. 100 per cent of the fire levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes firefighters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fire stations and 2,300 trucks. Each year, Victoria’s firefighters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and grass fires, fires in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fire levy.

Know your candidates: don’t be a donkey David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au FURIOUS behind-the-scenes activity is occurring as the Red Hill ward byelection counts down to 23 August, election day – the voting deadline is 22 August. Preference deals are done, newspaper advertisements are being placed. “Vote for me” posters will appear on fences. And conscientious voters will start poring over election material. Stripped to its essentials, the byelection battle is broadly between two council groups – progressives and conservatives. A win to the conservatives effectively preserves the council status quo; a progressive win could change the face of council in far-reaching ways. Helpful material can be found on the Victorian Electoral Commission website, including the 17 candidates’ statements and their how-to-vote list. To start making sense of who is running and why, read the candidates’ statements. Go to vec.vic.gov.au and look under “Current elections and polls” for “Mornington Peninsula
Shire Council”. Click the underlined “byelection” line. Scroll to “Who has nominated” and click. Candidates are listed in ballot paper order. Click any red underlined name to see all the policy statements and preference lists. Preferences can indicate pretty clearly who is favouring whom and thus what camp they’re in. Combined with policy statements they also reveal general philosophies – business or green, communityfocused or with a broader agenda. For example, Shawn Jackson, top of the ballot paper, says he is fed up with rate rises and shire finances generally and wants to use his business skills to help put things right. His second preference goes to fellow Red Hill denizen Kerry Watson, with third preference to Mark Fancett, regarded as one of the more favoured contenders. One could conclude from the words and numbers that Mr Jackson is a community candidate who would be happy to see Ms Watson or Mr Fancett win if he doesn’t. Michael Treadwell, a long-time
local, takes a scattergun approach that involves spending and tight control of finances, rates and debt, plus a “review” of tip fees “to reduce dumped rubbish”. His preferences 2 and 3 go to Alastair Young (who gives his preferences 2 and 3 to Treadwell and Bryan Payne) and Bryan Payne (who gives his prefs to Brian Morgan and Leigh Coleman). You’ll be astonished to learn that Coleman gives his 2 and 3 to Payne and Young, and Morgan gives his to Payne and Treadwell. There’s a tight little group! Payne states he is a chartered accountant, Coleman describes himself as a retired executive and Young writes that he is a carpenter with “experience running building, farming, food and marketing businesses”. This group can be safely categorised as business/conservative. On the other hand, candidates Kate Roper and Kylie Greer fall more towards the progressive camp. Roper has a land management qualification, queries the Rosebud pool project and has equestrian and landcare interests.
Prefs to ex-councillors Leigh Eustace and Neale Adams (progressive/green). Greer expresses concerns about the Arthurs Seat Skylift proposal. Another marker is to whom candidates allocate their last two preferences. Roper gives 16 to Coleman and last to Young. Greer gives 16 to Darren Andrew and last to Morgan. Morgan gives 16 to Adams and last to Eustace. Coleman also gives 16 to Adams and last to Eustace. Andrew gives 16 to Morgan and last to Peter Holloway – who kindly gives Andrew his tenth pref. Are you detecting any pattern? With 17 candidates, anything (almost) may happen when preferences are distributed in the Red Hill ward poll. Ricky Muir of the Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party got into the Senate with 0.51 per cent of the primary vote due to preferencing outlined by the “preference whisperer”, Glenn Druery, credited with several such coups. Muir has just sacked Druery as his senior adviser. Voters will get an information pack in the mail from the VEC any day
now. This writer encourages you to study the material. Much policy is vague (“we need to improve what council does for its ratepayers”) too ambitious (“I can deliver a richly deserved larger share of council resources for the ward”) too optimistic (“spending that gives value for money”) too reassuring, sort of (“no issue will be considered too trivial”). There. I have just possibly put myself offside with five candidates in one paragraph. I have possibly put myself even more offside for not mentioning the other 13. My aim has been to inform, not spruik candidates. It is for you voters to take this poll seriously: study the candidates so you cast an informed vote. Only donkeys cast donkey votes. And please, don’t complain about voting being compulsory if you take Anzac Day and Remembrance Day seriously. You have been given the privilege of voting by the centuries of bloody conflict that have delivered it to you. Honour the dead by taking their sacrifices seriously.
Guns of Fort Nepean mark WWI centenary Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au
Search mission: Project Longshot team leader Mark Ryan, documentary film maker Terry Cantwell, Roger Daly and Ted Baillieu with Mount Eliza Secondary College students Harry Maxwell and Josh Daly.
Quest for first shot fires up THE mission to recover the historic shell fired from Fort Nepean across the bow of the SS Pfalz marking the first shot fired by the British Empire in World War I is gathering momentum, with interest and support for the project steadily building ahead of next year’s Anzac Day centenary commemorations. More than 120 people last week attended a Project Longshot information session in Mt Eliza during which technical issues concerning the recovery effort were discussed and historical anecdotes from 1914 shared. Among the participants of the two-hour presentation at Ranelagh Club last Saturday was former premier Ted Baillieu – the current chair of the Victorian Anzac Day Committee – who spoke about his passion for Melbourne’s history and the global significance of the first shot. First Shot Committee chairman Major Bernie Gaynor then recounted the events of August 5th, 1914, and also described the fascinating, but illfated, life of the SS Pfalz. Other speakers included a number of relatives of those involved in the firing of the first shot, including Margaret Robinson, a grand-niece of Montgomery Robinson who was the Australian pilot said to have scuffled with German captain Kuhiken for control of the Pfalz. Ken Penaluna, grandson of gunner Edward Quirke, also attended. Mount Eliza Secondary College students Harry Maxwell and Josh Daly presented an

information display of the event, the centrepiece for which was a wooden replica shell Josh made recently with his grandfather, Roger Daly. Project Longshot team leader Mark Ryan, the founder of Southern Ocean Exploration, Australia’s most successful shipwreck discovery team, outlined efforts to recover the shell and the technical difficulties dive crews faced searching for a small object in such a vast area of water. However, Mr Ryan said the mission represented a worthy challenge, especially considering the historical significance of the six-inch shell. “It will be a difficult mission given the ferocity of the tides in this area and a century of constant dredging, not to mention that locating a six-inch shell in Port Phillip Bay will be a needle-in-ahaystack job,” he said. Whitewater Documentaries journalist Terry Cantwell, who is filming the search effort for a documentary film, said the story of the first shot was a compelling and integral chapter in Australia’s history. “This is one of the most exciting projects that we’ve undertaken to date – to document the discovery of the shot that announced WW1 to the world,” he said. “We have been amazed by the enormous community interest in this project; from ex-servicemen to school kids, it seems everyone wants this to happen.” Chris Brennan
THE guns of Fort Nepean are set to ring out again on Tuesday to commemorate one hundred years to day that the first shot of the British Empire in World War I was fired. Dozens of dignitaries, including Victorian Governor Alex Chernov, state and federal politicians, armed forces representative and the families of the servicemen manning the Fort Nepean guns in 1914, will be joined by hundreds of visitors for a special commemorative event at Point Nepean to mark the outbreak of WWI. The event on 5 August has been organised by the First Shot Committee and Parks Victoria in recognition of the pivotal role played by the peninsula on the opening day of the Great War. On that day in 1914, the Coastal Artillery Gun Emplacement No 6 at Fort Nepean fired a single warning shot across the bow of the German merchant vessel SS Pfalz, preventing its escape from Port Phillip Bay to the freedom of the open sea. The shot, at 12.45pm, came just three hours and 45 minutes after war was declared in London (at 11pm on 4 August London time or 9am on 5 August, Melbourne time), marking not only Australia’s first direct military involvement in World War I, but also the first successful intervention by the British Empire in the war. After its capture, the SS Pfalz was requisitioned and renamed HMT Boorara before going on to to serve as a troop ship for the Royal Australian Navy transporting Anzacs to Egypt and Dardanelles in 1915. Tuesday’s commemorative event, at the parade ground of the former Officer Cadet School at Point Nepean National Park, starts at 11am and will be followed by the firing of a howitzer at 12.45pm, the exact moment 100 years ago the first shot rang out. Wreaths will be then laid by descendants of the Fort Nepean artillery crew, including the granddaughter of Bombardier John Purdue, the man who fired the shot. The commemoration will feature an historical narration by Bryan Dawe of the dramatic circumstances surrounding the firing of the first shot, a prelude to the involvement of Australian diggers at the legendary and tragic campaigns of WW1 including Gallipoli, the Somme and other battlefields. First Shot Committee chairman Major Bernie Gaynor from the Royal Australian Artillery said the shot marked the opening salvo in a conflagration that brought four years of untold suffer-
ing and sacrifice and “indelibly set the course of world history”. “Of all the hundreds of millions of rounds of all calibres that were fired over the next four long, hard, sad years by the member nations of the British Empire, in a war whose grim ferocity consumed and affected so very many Australian lives, the shot fired from Gun Emplacement No 6 was the very first,” Major Gaynor said. “Under extreme pressure and in never before experienced circumstances – the start of a world war – Australian gunners showed they were up to the task. They acted swiftly, professionally and decisively – they did exactly what was expected of them.” The First Shot Committee, which includes the Sorrento-Portsea RSL, Parks Victoria, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, Federal MP for Flinders Greg Hunt and state MP for Nepean Martin Dixon MLA), with support from Department of Premier and Cabinet and the Australian Defence Force, was established to promote the historical significance of the event. Mr Hunt said the 100th anniversary was a “momentous occasion” that provided an opportunity for reflection on Australia’s and Victoria’s involvement in the war while honouring those who served. “All of the military personnel involved on that day performed their duties commendably,” he said. “None would have had any idea then how irrevocably the world had changed, even as the echoes of their fateful shot reverberated through the remote coastal fort. “We have every reason to be proud of the bravery and courage of our Australian troops. It is because of their efforts that we are able to gather as members of a free, peaceful and prosperous nation.” He commended “everyone involved in bringing this commemorative event to life”, in particular Major Gaynor, “whose passion and enthusiasm has driven this project from the start”. “Perhaps the most important function of a commemoration such as this is to instil into a new generation an understanding of this history, of their history,” Mr Hunt said. Tuesday’s 100th anniversary commemoration coincides with the opening of a new $350,000 tourist “experience” at Fort Nepean that aims to enhance the telling of Point Nepean’s unique place in history. At the same time, a campaign has been launched to restore the gun that fired the first shot to full working order and find locate and retrieve the shell from the bottom of Port Phillip.
Clayton’s wide world of sports Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au IT has been a whirlwind year of sport for Bittern boy Clayton Gay. He won the under-11 MPNFL Navy Division League best and fairest award last year playing for Balnarring, represented the MPCA under-12s in cricket, his Balnarring under-12s football team is on the verge of playing finals for the first time, and his year 7 school football team last week won the Southern Metro grand final. If that’s not enough, Clayton was a member of the Victorian team that has just won the Australian under 13 indoor cricket championship at Morphett Vale, on the outskirts of Adelaide. The 12-year-old Mornington Secondary College student was one of 400 juniors to try out for the team – even though he had never played indoor cricket before. “Like a lot of other parents we were wondering if it was worth trying out for,” his dad, Stuart, said. “Clayton was lucky as he knew Ryan McNamara, of Hastings, who had represented Victoria in the under 13s last year’s. We contacted Ryan’s father, Craig, who said: ‘Yes have a go, it was awesome and out of the 10 kids that were chosen eight had never played indoor cricket before’.” The original group was whittled down to 80 at the tryouts and, finally, to 10 players for the eight-member team. They trained for three months before the competition and also played at the Cranbourne indoor centre each Monday against adults. “This held them in good stead and the training and coaching was fantastic for a group of kids with about half not having played [indoor cricket] before.” Mr Gay said the first game was a learning experience for Clayton but he did well. “He

is a big hitter and doesn’t hold back when playing his shots. The fast pace of indoor cricket really suits his style and reflexes as does the batting because you don’t go out you just lose five runs - which Clayton can accumulate quickly, whereas, in outdoor cricket, it’s one mistake and that’s it for the day.” Mr Gay said the boys were “smashed” at the start by both Queensland and NSW and beaten by the ACT on the last ball of the game before getting together and promising each other: “We don’t want to feel this way again, we are not going to lose anymore.” The boys won the next eight games straight to make the grand final where they played Queensland – this time for a 99-run draw: the first-ever draw in a grand final. “It was the most nerve-racking time of my life,” Mr Gay recalled. A series of mini games – like a penalty shootout – was arranged to decide the winner, with Queensland needing seven runs off the last over to win. The first ball was a run-out, the second was caught and, through a complicated skins scoring system, Victoria was declared the winner. Clayton and batting partner Tom Whelan shone in the mini final making a game high 28 runs off their two overs in the second skin to help set up the win. “Clayton is a left arm pace bowler. He was very consistent throughout the competition and, with a bit more luck, would have picked up a lot more wickets,” Mr Gay said. “He managed over 100 with the bat for the tournament, however, his strength was his wicket keeping. “In game 4 he told the coach: ‘I can keep if you want’ when the usual keeper was rostered off. The reply: “Yeah OK, but you better be able to bloody keep.” He could – and ended up keeping for the rest of the tournament and averaging a couple of stumpings and run outs a game.
Poetry for church POET Geoff Page will read his work to help raise funds for St George’s Anglican Church, Red Hill - the last small country church on the Mornington Peninsula. Money raised will go towards renovations to provide a community meeting place. The readings will be held at Elgee Park winery with an afternoon tea and wine tasting accompanied by cheese and nibbles. Page is described as a significant voice in Australian poetry, and features in many anthologies. He has published 19 collections and four verse novels, and won numerous poetry awards, including the Queensland Premier’s Prize, Patrick White Literary Award, and Grace Levin Prize. His major themes are place, country, religion, music, war and death. His poems owe something to the larrikin tradition of Henry Lawson, many with rural settings that narrate yarns. Other poets on the bill are Janet Limb and Eve McGlashan (who writes under the name of Eve Norton). Both women have been published in a wide variety of journals on topics ranging from the domestic to the cosmic. Elgee Park winery is on Melway map 160 J3. Turn from Nepean Highway into Wallaces Rd and drive to the end. The entrance is clearly marked. Tickets: $40 per person all inclusive. Bookings are essential; numbers limited. Bookings will be acknowledged by email or telephone and names listed at the venue on the day.

The forgotten ward? Election day 23 August 2014 will be a new watershed for Red Hill Ward. Is Council doing all it can to promote the tourism and economic development potential of the Ward’s 100 wineries, restaurants, food producers, businesses and arts groups? Is Council doing all it can to protect the neighbourhood character of the Ward’s unique villages – Flinders, Red Hill, Balnarring, Somers, Merricks, Shoreham, St Andrews? Is Council doing all it can to promote environmental and heritage conservation in the Ward? Is Council listening to Red Hill Ward community and action groups? If not, why not? These are central topics I will address within the Ward and at Council if elected.

LETTERS Report wrong A report by Dr Hermione Parsons titled Build it – but will they come? contains many inaccuracies (‘Call for port rethink’, The News, 22/7/14). The report is based on the false belief that larger ships will never come to Victoria and that catering for them is a waste of time. Since containerised shipping started, ships right around the world have steadily increased in size. To suddenly assume that this growth will stop immediately – and it would need to be immediately as Port Phillip cannot take ships any bigger than what currently comes here – is completely ignorant, and could have disastrous economic consequences for our state, as building a port in the wrong place is not a correction that can be made overnight. We have to remember that developing a new container port will take many years, with studies, approvals and construction all taking time. The Napthine government is planning for the future of trade in Victoria in order to keep our economy growing. The Victorian government has been assessing options to cater for additional port capacity once the Port of Melbourne cannot be further expanded. This work has occurred under successive governments and has proved that Hastings is the only viable option. You only have to look at the change that has taken place in trade, containerisation and shipping around the world over the past 30 years. To stick one’s head in the sand and mount arguments based the false belief that larger ships will not come here will have huge implications on Victoria’s economic prospects. This is dangerous and economically reckless. Sydney has already increased its channel depth to cater for larger vessels, and Brisbane has plans underway to do the same. These private ports have invested in increasing their capacity to handle larger ships, and Victoria must or it will be left behind. Sir Henry Bolte zoned land in Hastings for port use back in the 60s. This was the sort of visionary thinking that has helped Victoria develop the strong economic position we currently have. This is the type of thinking we need to have now. We have an opportunity and a responsibility to plan for the future and to ensure the continued prosperity of our great state. Developing a container port located at Hastings will achieve this. Other port locations will not. David Hodgett, Minister for Ports
Effects assessed The letter from Anne Russell of
French Island (‘Tourism jobs lost’, The News, 29/7/14) expresses concerns over effects that [may be caused by] the container expansion project at Hastings. In particular, she raises concerns over dredging and the effects on Western Port’s flora and fauna. Ms Russell will be pleased to know that it is for these very reasons that, well before any port development occurs, the Port of Hastings Development Authority is conducting studies and assessments of Western Port and the potential effects of the development of a container port facility at Hastings. These assessments will take up to four years and include highly detailed studies into everything from possible impacts of dredging, underwater noise, visual pollution, turbidity, salinity, water quality and greenhouse gas and climate change concerns for local flora and fauna, both during construction and operational phases of the project. This process will also involve ongoing extensive community consultation and these views will be included in future decision making on the Port’s future development. It is worth noting that Hastings has been a working port for more than a century and in that time has handled thousands of bulk carriers entering and departing Western Port with crude oil, liquid petroleum gas and unleaded petrol without any significant effects. The authority recently appointed specialist consultants who will undertake extensive work over the next four years to determine the preferred scope, design, location and timing of the first stage of port expansion including transport connections. An environmental approval referral to the State and Commonwealth Planning Ministers also will be conducted. Mike Lean, CEO Port of Hastings Development Authority
Port backing The Mornington Peninsula Marine Alliance eagerly awaits the Port of Hastings development and is in no doubt as to the substantial benefits that the development will bring to the local community and to the region. The alliance is an advocacy and networking forum for Mornington Peninsula based marine related businesses and can confirm that its members are confident that the development of the port will bring substantial needs for existing and new businesses to provide port operations and maintenance support services, manufacture and maintain marine infrastructure and equipment. A key benefit which only Hastings can offer is its close proximity to Dandenong which is the state’s primary freight distribution and warehousing centre and this ensures that most of
the jobs that the port will generate will also be very close to where the workforce will live. Concerted energy is required now to implement the port in a timely way to ensure the best outcome is achieved in integrating the development and operational requirements with the local community’s environmental values and employment and business growth needs. Time and resources wasted now arguing the perceived political merits of an imaginary Bay West alternative will not deliver a better environmental, economic or operationally safe facility but will delay its construction and magnify the risk of delivering a sub-optimal solution at Hastings. The alliance has worked closely with the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and the peninsula business community over the past four years to investigate and design the marine industry land use and development needs and has now completed a draft study outlining the planning framework enhancements which support and align with the future port operational servicing requirements – this body of work is substantial and further underpins the importance and value to business locally and regionally of the future port development. Hastings has a number of features that justify its status as the location for Victoria’s second container port. They include: • It is an existing port close to Melbourne, with limited urban encroachment on the pre zoned port precinct; • It is the only new container port development in Victoria, where planning has progressed sufficiently to ensure it can be operational before the Port of Melbourne reaches capacity in 2020-2025; • There is natural deep water access to Hastings, unlike other locations in Port Phillip Bay, which mitigates the risks of congestion in the channel; • There is exceptionally large land availability for port-related industrial activities within the port precinct (3,500 hectares, which is unique in Australia), and it is zoned for port activities; • It is located in Western Port which avoids ship congestion within Port Phillip Bay and particularly through the dangerous and confined Port Phillip Heads zone, the route which services the Ports of Melbourne and Geelong; • It will accommodate both longer and wider ships than the Port of Melbourne or any other location within Port Phillip Bay – a competitive advantage for the state of Victoria as container ships continue to increase in size; • It is close to both the significant export-focussed manufacturing industries in the east and south east of Melbourne as well as the import consumptive demand of 1.5 million residents in Melbourne South East.

Western Port News 5 August 2014
The consequence to the economies of Victoria, Melbourne south east and Gippsland of not having sufficient container port capacity available when the Port of Melbourne reaches full capacity would be severe. Only Hastings can realistically offer this solution and if not implemented as a priority, a recent study completed for Melbourne South East economic development group highlights that by 2035, there would be a negative impact to Victoria’s GSP of $2.2 billion and a loss of 4800 jobs. Bruce Douglas, executive officer, Mornington Peninsula Marine Alliance
Depth questioned We call on Port of Hastings Development Authority CEO Mike Lean to provide evidence of his claim (‘Natural depth’, Letters, The News 29/07/2014) that the Hastings shipping channel “is naturally deep with the majority of it around 20 metres”. In the Port of Hastings Operating Handbook (2013) of Patrick/Asciano (who presently manages the Hastings Port), we can read a declared channel description (on page 15), and are provided with nautical charts in decimal meters (on pages 52-57): - Western Entrance: minimum width 400 metres, swept clearance of 14.8 metres. It is a two-way traffic channel. - The main channel in the North Arm: maintained depth of 14.2 metres, width of 180 metres between Hanns Inlet and Crib Point Jetty swing basin, width of 245 metres between Crib Point Jetty and Long Island Point Jetty swing basins. It is a one-way traffic channel. - The secondary channel in the North Arm to the East of the main channel: depth of at least 10 meters. - The swing basins at Long Island Point Jetty and Crib Point Jetty: maintained depth of 14.2 metres with berth pockets of 15.7 metres (350 metres long 90 metres wide). - The channel north of Long Island Jetty swing basin: maintained depth of 9.0 metres and a width of 200 metres. It leads to the swing basin off the Steel wharves which has a maintained depth of 9.0 metres. The berth pockets at both steel wharfs have depths of 12.0 metres and are 290 metres long and 30 metres wide. If we refer to the charts for depths outside the declared channels we can see that the most important leg of the journey - the narrow waters around the ‘main channel’ from Sandy Point northward to the port-zoned land - sits mostly around the 12 metre mark and in many areas is often dramatically less. Every nautical map on every yacht club wall has the same figures. Clearly there would have to be massive dredging at Western Port - with huge, rippling and ongoing social, environmental and economic costs.
Hastings is the very antithesis of an ideal place for a 3000-ships-a-year port. We are in nitrogen balance now (according to Jeff Ross and Perran Cook’s study for Monash university and Melbourne Water. ) Dredging could tip us over. Victoria University’s Institute of Supply Chain and Logistics’ 2014 report Build it – but will they come? asks an important question and explains that the other issue that could spell trouble for south Oz ports is the haste towards the new Hastings or Bay West port development: “The issue is that the Hastings or an alternative port development is needed at some stage, but probably not as soon as the government would like us to believe.” The report uses the example of the Port of Melbourne, which both the current Victorian government and the opposition are in favour of selling or leasing out long-term. Current volume at Melbourne is 2.5m TEU and the proposed capacity for the future (including the new 1m TEU container terminal at Webb Dock) is 5m TEU. At a growth rate of 3-4 per cent full capacity could take 15 to 20 years to be achieved, but Melbourne had a decline in container volume of 2.5 per cent in 2012/2013. The report’s author states: “Growth rates for container volumes in Australia (and across the world) have slowed down significantly and in my view and other experts are not likely to vary that much in the near future.” They warn of the danger of building a failed port. Ralph Kenyon, Mike Lean’s predecessor, stated that the business case for the Port of Hastings was weak. Mr Lean has been given $110 million to develop, among other things, a business case. Does Mr. Lean care to comment on the Institute for Supply Chain and Logistics expert and independent report? Caroline Giles, Balnarring Beach
Doubt on port jobs Let it be made clear, the Port of Hastings Authority is the state government’s tool. Its brief is to make a case why the port should be expanded and then sell to the general public, business and local government. Any “inconvenient truths” found along the way are either not mentioned or debunked as being the ravings of “mad greenies” who have no idea about anything. Therefore the information supplied by the PoHA should always be regarded as spin as that is its job and has been given $110 million of taxpayers’ funds to accomplish this. However, as we still have a democracy in this country, I would like the people of Western Port to consider the following. Continued Page 14

Implants solution CONVENTIONAL dentures don’t suit everyone and not everyone can keep them in comfortably. If this sounds like you, an implant retained denture may be the solution you are looking for. This process is more involved than conventional dentures but for those who do go down this path, it is life changing. Patients choosing this option report a greatly enhanced quality of life with increased comfort, confidence and eating ability. Historically, dental implants have a high clinical success rate. On an upper full implant denture, the palate of the mouth is virtually completely free of plastic allowing you to talk and taste as you once did.
190 High St, Hastings
Implant retained dentures are secured onto a permanent dental implant in the gum. Dental implants can offer the necessary stability and retention for anchoring a removable denture either full or partial. The denture stays firmly in place while chewing and conversing, but can be removed for cleaning. Two conventional dental implants stabilise a full lower denture which allows freedom to eat whatever you like with the confidence that the dentures won’t move in your mouth.

Brush at least twice a day. The best time to brush teeth is after meals. Choose a toothbrush with a small head for better access to back teeth. Soft bristles are kinder on your gums. 2. Use fluoridated toothpaste. Fluoride helps to harden tooth enamel and reduces your risk of decay. 3. Brush thoroughly. Tooth brushing should take between two and three minutes. 4. Floss your teeth daily. Use a slow and gentle sawing motion. 5. Limit acidic drinks like soft drinks, cordials and fruit juices. Food acids soften tooth material and dissolve the minerals in tooth enamel, causing holes (cavities or caries). In severe cases, teeth may be ‘eaten’ right down to the gum. 6. Limit sugary foods. Bacteria in dental plaque change sugars into acids. 7. Protect your teeth from injury. Wear a mouthguard or full-face helmet when playing sports. 8. Try to save a knocked out tooth. If possible, hold the tooth back in place while you seek immediate dental advice. If this is not possible, wrap the tooth in plastic or place it in milk and seek dental advice immediately. 9. Avoid using your teeth for anything other than chewing food. If you use them to crack nuts, remove bottle tops or rip open packaging, you risk chipping or even breaking your teeth. 10. See your dentist for regular check-ups. You should also visit your dentist if you have a dental problem such as a toothache or bleeding gums.

Western Port News 5 August 2014
PoHA states that 5700 jobs will be created by 2035. The port itself will provide only a small number of these as it will be fully automated and as the Port of Melbourne container arm will be closing we can assume that these positions will be taken by experienced personnel from there. The rest of the jobs we can assume will be in transport and distribution. As the population of Melbourne is expected to increase by 1.7 million people by 2035 surely some of these people will find their way to Hastings and surrounds and be competing for these 5700 jobs on offer? As we can expect Western Port to be severely damaged by the amount of dredging that will be required we must also assume that current jobs in tourism and recreational fishing will no longer exist. According to the Victorian tourism minister they number over 6000 jobs around the bay. To my thinking, this equals job losses not job gains and could be made even worse if the port is a failure and the ships won’t come, as has been suggested by experts in the shipping and logistics industries. This project seems set to become the state Liberal government’s very own white elephant that we, as taxpayers, will be funding. Sheila Ker, Pearcedale
Protection job It is of great concern to anyone with a passion for the environment, to hear Mr [Hastings MP Greg] Hunt defending the possible destruction of the great barrier reef with purely economic arguments. One would have thought his job was to put the environment first, seeing he is the minister for the environment. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring
Question expense Before the byelection in the Red Hill Ward, voters should ask themselves does Mornington Peninsula Shire really need a massive swimming complex on the Rosebud foreshore? Or would it be better if the huge amount (about $40 million) that six councillors want to borrow for this folly on the ratepayers’ behalf be spent on infrastructure items, such as footpaths and drainage, that would benefit all the shire wards and not just one. John Cain, McCrae
Sensible choice Our peninsula community expects whoever is elected in the largest array of candidates for a local council election, in the Red Hill ward, to bring a sensible and conciliatory voice to this non-performing council. With 17 candidates to choose from, voters in the Red Hill ward have to make a clear choice and elect an experienced community activist, someone with a successful record such as Dr Mark Fancett, Tim Woods or Leigh Eustace. These people have the runs on the board. Ian Morrison, convenor Mt Eliza Community Alliance
Policy check The Red Hill Ward Consultative Group is made up of representatives from the villages on this
side of the southern peninsula in order to raise local issues with Mornington Peninsula Shire and government agencies and also provide our local councillor with feedback. Somers, Balnarring Beach, Red Hill, Shoreham, Flinders and similar places have community associations mainly concerned with local issues. They send their representatives to monthly meetings and gather support for matters such as new ambulance depots, fire brigade facilities, road safety, improved recreation reserves and environment and planning issues. The idea is to have a larger voice and more momentum as improvements often take patience and persistence to accomplish. As the representative from Balnarring Beach Community Association I have gained an insight into the recent workings of our council. It has developed mechanisms to delay and obviate the will of the community while pursuing its own (meaning council officer) objectives. For example a much needed toilet block takes four years to complete because we are expected to believe that you allow 12 months for the budget process, 12 months for planning, 12 months for design and 12 months to build. This in an age where most council work is outsourced and meant to be efficient. Of course many civic minded people are worn out by this never ending process and begin to believe that their local community may never achieve worthwhile aims and improvements. As you may know we have a council by-election this month due to the early retirement of the sitting councillor. There is a higher than usual number of candidates because of a delicate balance between open minded and pro–officer sitting councillors. The Red Hill ward makes up about 45 per cent of the area of the shire. Within its boundaries are most of the environmentally sensitive areas, rural villages and farmland that help make the peninsula the place we love. However we have only one councillor for the whole ward as opposed to 10 from the more populous areas of the Shire, so our choice is very important. The problem in choosing a new councillor is how do we differentiate between candidates? History shows that they say the same things such as “lower rates, care for the environment, we’ll listen to you”. Then comes the disappointment and nothing seems to happen much to the delight of council officers who are more or less left to pursue their own “we know what is good for you” agenda. Let’s look at the record of candidates and not what they say. Look for character and ability and try to see through the inevitable running mate strategy of politicised groups. It is important for the peninsula that we build on the endeavours of the Red Hill Ward Consultative Group in tackling the real issues in our area. Talk to people from your local community association, they usually have a fair idea of the sort of person who will have a go on your behalf. David Gill, Balnarring Beach.

Lifeline for lifesavers THE state government has thrown a lifeline to the Gunnamatta Surf Life Saving Club, right. A $100,000 grant will be used to replace the south wall of the clubhouse and maintain its structural integrity, MP for Nepean Martin Dixon said. Some of the money awarded under the Victorian Emergency Services Equipment Program will be used to buy extra equipment in the lead-up to the patrol season. Meanwhile, Parks Victoria has temporarily closed the stairs leading to the Gunnamatta beach for public safety following storm damage and is waiting advice on an insurance claim.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
War welcomed with “quiet excitement” Compiled by Cameron McCullough At the last meeting of the Cranbourne shire council the tender of Messrs Nicholls Bros, £48, for clearing on Cranbourne-Frankston Road, 80 chains, was accepted. *** A meeting of members of the Frankston rifle club will be held on Monday a night at 8pm in the Mechanics’ committee room. A full attendance is requested, as business is important. *** Mr H. Slattery, the well known (tenor) of the “ We Four” Quartets Party, who delighted the Frankston audience at the Fire Brigade concert recently, will sing the tenor at Frankston choral concert on August 19th. *** In another column, Cr W. J. Oates announces that it his intention to again be a candidate for the seat in the shire of Frankston and Hastings, rendered vacant by his resignation through effluxion of time. *** At St. Paul’s Church, Frankston, on Sunday next, special intercessions appropriate to the time of war will be offered at both services. The National Anthem and Kiplings “Recessional” will also be sung. Daily prayers will be said in the church during the war crisis at 8.45 in the morning and 7.45 at night, with special intercessions. *** Major C. W. Campbell of Frankston, who recently motored throughout parts of Australia, proposes to motor
to Adelaide to see Zephuron run in the Adelaide Grand National Steeplechase this month, and will, we understand, visit many centres of South Australia on the return journey. *** Quiet excitement was manifest among the members of the choral society on Monday evening when news was received the war was certain. The enthusiastic rendition of the National Anthem and the display of patriotism came as a surprise to Mr Earp, the conductor. *** The death occurred at his residence, High street, Frankston, on Wednesday last, of Mr Henry Triller, who was the only son of the late Henry Triller, contractor, South Yarra. The deceased, who was 72 years of age, was a colonist of 62 years. He leaves a widow and three daughters to mourn their loss. *** A public meeting will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall Frankston, on Tuesday evening next, in connection with the Liberal Workers’ campaign, when Messrs N. Nicholls and W. Craven (Liberal Workers’ Institute) will speak on “ What Liberalism offers the Worker.” Ladies are specially invited. *** Over 100 city representative men will be present at the banquet to be held in the hall, Frankston, on Saturday August 15th, and the Essendon football club expects a large following of their supporters to journey to Frankston in the afternoon to witness
the Peninsula combination meet the wearers of the red and black uniform. Good crowds should also be present from all the Peninsula towns to check on their respective champions. *** At the Poultry and Kennel Club Show, held last week at the Exhibition, Master Douglas Picking, of Frankston, was successful in securing three First Prizes, a Third, and Highly Commended for his Indian Game Pullets and Bantams.*** There was a fair attendance at the euchre party and dance, held in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Tuesday evening, in aid of the funds of the Frankston Brass Band. The gent’s prize was annexed by Mr Jacobs, and Mrs Dalman accounted for the lady’s prize. The booby prizes fell to Mr A. Burton and Mrs Tait. After the cards, dancing was indulged in, and a thoroughly enjoyable time was spent. Before proceedings commenced, several selections were rendered by the band outside the hall. *** Messrs Brody and Mason will hold their monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, when in addition to the usual supply, they will sell several useful horses on account of Mr G. Shepherd and dairy cows, etc., in the estate of Mr A. J. Maucum. On the 19th inst they will hold an extensive clearing sale of cattle, horse, household furniture and sundries at Frankston in the assigned estates of
Ellen J. Spears and John Rule. *** A wedding of interest to residents of Somerville was celebrated at St James Church of England, Dandenong, on Wednesday, July 29th, when Mr Albert Hawkin, son of Mr and Mrs H. Hawkin of “Oaklands” Somerville, was married to Miss Annie Maude Pedler, daughter of the late Richard Pedler, and Mrs Pedler of “Kilburnie” Dandenong. The wedding, though a quiet one, was very pretty, the church being decorated with white roses, ferns, tree lucerne and gum tops by the girl friends of the bride. The Rev Veal officiated, and Miss Hemmings presided at the organ. Miss Lillian Pedler and Miss Edith Hawkin were the bridesmaids, while Messrs H. and C. Pedler supported the bridegroom. The bride who was given away by her brother, (Mr Henry Pedler) looked very dainty in charmeuse satin. The square train was caught up with orange blossom and a handsomely embroidered veil was worn in the new cap effect, the same motive being carried out in the bridesmaids caps, which were of tulle trimmed with pleated ribbon horse shoes and ends. The bridesmaids wore white lace frocks. The shower bouquets of massed blue violets and pale pink carnations deserve special mention. They were the work of Mrs Van Breda and were greatly admired, The reception was held at the Royal Hotel when the customary good
wishes were expressed and the toasts drank with musical honours. The mother of the bride wore an elegant toilette of black crepe de chene, draped with ninon. General regret was expressed that through the ill health of Mrs Hawkin, the parents of the bridegroom were unable to be present. After the reception the happy pair amid showers of the inevitable coloured confetti, left for Bendigo, where the honeymoon is to be spent. Mrs Hawkin wore a smart costume of prune silk brocade, with hat of prune velvet, and furs. On their return they will reside at Mornington. The presents were both numerous and costly, including several cheques, and a handsome piano from the mother of the bride. The bride groom’s gift to bride was a gold bracelet, and to the bridesmaids turquoise cluster rings. The popularity of the bride was shown by the handsome cruet presented to her by the choir and Sunday school of which she was a member and teacher. *** TO THE EDITOR. Sir, I would like to state through, the medium of your paper, that I could not help being astonished at the number of shopkeepers and business people of Frankston, who were conspicuous by their absence from the Progress meeting on Wednesday evening last. ADVANCE AUSTRALIA. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 8 August 1914.

Balls up! The demise of ping-pong By Stuart McCullough TRUTH be told, I was never really interested. For me, it was something to do when stuck on holidays, when all televisions in a fifty-kilometre radius had malfunctioned. We didn’t have one at home. But at every caravan park we ever visited – from the dingiest lump of dirt with an adjacent toilet block to the self-proclaimed ‘holiday resorts’ – there was always a ‘Rec’ room and in that Rec room there was always a ping-pong table. As I approached the door, my heart could not help but hope for Pac Man or even a little Dig Dug. Upon pulling the handle, a dingy squat would be revealed, various incomplete board games in a pile that looked as though they had been recently assaulted and a decrepit ping-pong table. For most people, their opponent is the person standing on the other side of the net. Not for me. When attempting to play ping-pong, I was fighting two adversaries – gravity and the game itself. I admit that they both got the better of me. I lacked the patience and the precision to ever get the ball from one side of the net to the other as the rules required. If it landed on the table, it would only ever be by accident and never by design. Like everything, I believed that maximum effort was required and would swing the paddle with a level of force intended to launch the ball not so much over the net as in to outer space. So much in a game of ping-pong turns on the serve. It was a skill I never mastered. At recreation rooms,
there was always some kid who had devoted his entire life to the art of ping-pong; no doubt dropping out of school to spend every waking hour to mastering the art of the back-spin serve. There is nothing quite so humiliating as standing at the end of the table and watching as little white balls go zipping past without you so much as moving your bat one inch. The experience is even more humbling
when the person shooting them past your ears is your eight-year-old sister. Then there’s the jog of shame… The jog of shame occurs when the ball shoots past, rolls along the floor and out the door and you have to trot along after it, bringing it back before someone in an EJ Falcon towing a caravan called ‘The Global Conqueror’ runs over it. (That’s the other thing about camping – all the

caravans have names better suited to an armoured artillery vehicle.) I spent more time retrieving ping-pong balls than I ever did playing the game itself. I promised myself that if I ever won a match, I would instantly retire. Now, it seems, it’s too late. Ping-pong as we know it will shortly be at an end. The celluloid ball – which has long been the championship standard - is due to be replaced by plastic. I may have hated the game, but even I take no delight to see a once-great sport reduced to the ignominy of plastic balls. There are apparently two reasons for this monumental shake up. Firstly, there is something of a worldwide shortage of raw celluloid. The second reason for ruining everything is simple: safety. On behalf of anyone who has ever copped a ping pong ball square between the eyes, I can only say that they may be round but those little suckers certainly do pack a punch. But, apparently, that’s not the issue. Celluloid is flammable. Apparently, there are concerns that the balls might burst into flame whilst being transported. Talk about a squandered opportunity. All these years of pingpong tournaments, and no one ever thought to incorporate a flaming ball into the game proper? With the added dimension of naked flame, ping-pong might have stood a chance to haul itself out of the sporting fringes and become a mainstream sport that people might have actually wanted to watch. Rec rooms at caravans across the country would have been transformed
from future toilet-blocks-in-waiting to flaming gladiatorial areas. If only. Being replaced by plastic is, I feel, a fate that awaits us all. But rather than try and reinvent the wheel / ball, I think that powers that be should consider alternatives. For example, why not replace the ping-pong ball altogether? A squash ball is about the right size. That said, a little black ball might be hard to see (Rec room lighting is never that flash). Perhaps a medicine ball is the answer. There are no problems with visibility and the chances of it rolling along the floor and out the door are, it must be said, remote. Even I would be able to spot a medicine ball as it lumbered over the net, slamming into the table like a spherical elephant drunkenly falling over a fence. That’s where I went wrong. I see the problem as clearly as a medicine ball. Paddles should only be used when you’re heading to a particular creek in a barbed wire canoe. Not for sport. I should’ve used a tennis racquet and swapped that little white missile for something easier to see. Like a balloon. The mistake I made was in accepting things as they were. I should have been bolder; more willing to mix things us, regardless of the consequences. I ought to have written my own rules. And if the kid in the Rec room who’s waiting to trash some blow-in from Tyabb twenty-one to zip has a problem with that, I can always set his ball on fire. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Get your kids crafty by painting with trains MY son isn’t a huge fan of arts and crafts. So when I spotted this activity at play-trains.com, I thought what a great way to get him excited about painting. All you need is paint, paper or a canvas, and metal trains (we used Thomas die cast models). While he lined his trains, I poured blobs of paint all over the canvas (the smaller blobs work better when you can control the paint!) There was absolutely no thought to this, other than to randomly place different colours in the space. He then drove his trains all over the canvas. I loved listening to the adventure he was describing the trains were on. As the colours began to all join together in a brownish mess, we decided this picture was finished and found a new piece of paper. I didn’t use new paint blobs as there was still quite a bit on the train wheels. This would be a good time to make some smaller pictures. Don’t forget that a sink full of warm water and lots of bubbles allows for the clean up to be just as fun as the painting. After allowing the canvas to dry for many hours (due to the thickness of the pain), we have ended up with a gorgeous painting that is now proudly hanging on the wall in my son’s bedroom. And a previous disinterested painter now requests paper, paint and brushes every day. This guide can be found in the Rainy Day Activities Guide on our website, along with over 50 arts’n’crafts, games, cooking and indoor fun ideas that will help you enjoy a winter’s day indoors. Everything uses items from around your home and basic supplies from your local supermarket or discount store. Visit www.peninsulakids.com.au/rainy-dayactivities/

Stonecats are clear favourites PENINSULA LEAGUE
By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW sits two games clear at the top of the Peninsula League ladder after winning a dog fight with Edithvale-Aspendale on Saturday. The Stonecats are now a clear favourite for the 2014 premiership after knocking over last year’s grand finalists Edithvale and Bonbeach in recent times. In a game that was an arm wrestle all afternoon, the Stonecats came from three points down at three quarter time to take control of the match in the last quarter and get home by seven points, 9.13 (67) to 9.6 (60). The home side booted 2.5 to 1.1 in the final term, Anthony Barry again dominating while Tony Lester was at his best, especially when it mattered most. Ricky Morris was back in the side for the Stonecats after a long lay-off while EdithvaleAspendale fielded its strongest side for the season. Eagles coach Troy Shannon said before the game that he was pleased to be getting his best side on the park at the right time of the year. In saying that, the likes of Tim Mavric, Markham Johnson and Mark Mullins didn’t play for the Eagles on Saturday.
Edithvale-Aspendale has used 38 players through the seniors this season, more than any other side in the competition. Kevin Lylak and Riley Hodson were again amongst the best for the Stonecats while Brad Ulms was also up and about. Jack Mazurek was YCW’s only multiple goalkicker with two goals and he played an outstanding game. Michael Kremmer, who has been used as a defender in recent times, was fantastic yet again for the Eagles while Stevey Mannix continued his dominant season. Brad Gilder and Matty Clark also dominated, as did Jeremy Heys. Chelsea gave Mornington one hell of a fright on Saturday, pushing the visitors right to the final siren. The Seagulls booted seven of the last 11 goals of the match, going down by just five points, 10.13 (73) to 11.12 (78). The home side lost the match in the opening half, where they trailed by 25 points at half time. However, through the likes of Matt Smith, Brad Clark and Fia Tootoo, as well as Robbie Lancaster with four goals and Toddy Gardiner getting a heap of it, the Gulls came storming home. Fortunately for the Dogs, Warwick Miller was dominant across four quarters and Adam
Symes was fantastic in only his sixth game for the season. Adrian Speedy booted three goals for the winners, along with Jackson Calder, who now has 32 for the season, four behind leader David Bodley (YCW). Mt Eliza got some much needed percentage, thumping Karingal to the tune of 81 points, 25.12 (162) to 12.9 (81). Scott Lockwood booted ten for the Redlegs while Sam Wettenhall and Jordan Moncrief kicked four each. Tim Strickland kicked a couple and dominated the match while John Meesen also controlled things in the ruck. It was a tough day at the office for stand-in coach Michael Burke. Hadley Tomamichel booted five goals for the Bulls while Ray Lengyel and Paxton brothers, Aaron and Grant were outstanding. Karingal President Jeff Walton said the split between former coach Stephen Coates and the club was mutual. “We spoke to Stephen after the Edithvale game and let him know that we needed a change. He agreed that this was best,” Walton said. “Burkey is a legend of this club and was happy to take the reins for the remainder of the year. At this stage we’re not sure whether he’ll
throw his hat into the ring for job next season,” Walton said. Burke was amongst the best for the Bulls yet again on Saturday. Nathan Hicks and Justin Norton booted three goals each and a further eight players contributed on the scoreboard for Bonbeach in their 16.17 (113) to 5.9 (39) win against Pines. Jackson Casey and Dylan Jones continued their domination while Mark Tyrell was also at his best for the Sharks. Jake Prosser and the Hendry brothers, Guy and Beau, were the best of the Pythons. In the final game, Langwarrin kept its slim finals hope alive with a 21.14 (140) to 10.9 (69) demolition of Seaford. It was clearly the Kangas best four-quarter performance of the season with matt Dimkos booted six goals, Sean Herdman four and Daniel Wehner three. Beau Muston was also outstanding for the Kangas while Andy Taylor has made the most of his opportunities since returning to the seniors. Skipper Scott Sienkiewicz has been superb all season, as has Jarryd Amalfi. Luke Smith kicked three goals for the Tigers and Tommy Shaw and Rory Luxton worked tirelessly.
Finals venues raise questions By Toe Punt THE 2014 Nepean and Peninsula League finals venues have been announced. The Nepean League Grand Final will be played at Hastings this year. The preliminary Final will be played at Somerville while the third venue being used is Rye, which will host the 1st semi final. The Grand Final will not be played at Frankston Park due to construction works. However, despite the rebuilding of the Sports Club, the Peninsula League finals are still scheduled to take place at Kars St. Langwarrin has been earmarked as the ground for the Peninsula Grand Final should Frankston Park become unavailable. Pines will also be used for Peninsula League finals. Whilst many don’t have an issue with the Nepean League grand final being played at Hastings, they do believe that it should be at Frankston Park. Red Hill coach Tony Blackford said if Frankston Park was available for Peninsula Finals, it should be available for the Nepean Grand Final. “I don’t know what the issue is? If the ground is OK for Peninsula, then why can’t it be used for Nepean?” Blackford said. “Frankston Park is the home of local footy grand finals and it should be played there, especially if it is available. The league didn’t provide any reasoning or justification to the venue selections. Hastings has been trying for years to get the finals played there, however, not having netball courts has always been the issue. It’s not a problem for them anymore with courts going in last year. Nepean Netball will be played at the same venues, while Peninsula netball will all be played at Chelsea, which flies in the face of having netball and football at the same location.

Hillmen beat Rye in drama filled game NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt RED HILL overcame a drama-filled match against Rye to win by 32 points in the Nepean League match of the round. The Hillmen lost Jayden Pain with a hamstring injury and Jake Mold with a knee in the opening term of the clash and played out the remainder of the game without rotations on the bench. Smart forward Sean Holmes also played the match with a wrist injury while Nick Bateman was knocked out in the second quarter but was forced to keep playing. The drama didn’t stop with Red Hill, however, who went on to win 10.13 (73) to 5.11 (41). Rye lost Matty Sibberas (back spasms) and Sam Smith (calf) in the warm-up and then Andrew Dunn went off with a knee injury in the first quarter. Fortunately for the Demons, they were able to replace Sibberas and Smith before the first bounce. Jarryd Kirkwood played in the reserves and then played seniors, while Brock Rawlinson, who’s coming back from a groin injury, Magpies swoop: Hastings struggles to keep possession against a Crib Point side flying at the top of the Nepean League ladder heading towards finals. Picture: Andrew Hurst
was forced to borrow boots and gear from a teammate so that he could come into the side. The Demons also lost Aaron Findlay for 15 minutes after he was sent off in the incident that saw Bateman knocked unconscious. The Hillmen never looked effected by the events that unfolded earlier. They were committed, disciplined, desperate and structured, something that couldn’t be said for Rye. The win was even more impressive for the Hillmen considering the events of the week. Coach Tony Blackford called off training on Tuesday night because 15 senior players went down with sickness. “It might have been a blessing because we ran out the game very well and they looked fresh and up for the contest,” Blackford said. The Hillmen had some standout performances. Jimmy McCall was superb in the ruck against Rhett Sutton, Harry Larwill provided enormous grunt and drive from half back and Marcus Dal Lago completely shut-down Ryan Semmel, who had no effect on the game at all. Michael Dillon was the best player on the ground. Sam Smith was supposed to tag him, however, when he went out of the side, no-one else went near him. Dillon did as he liked and was left to his own devices. You would have thought someone would
take responsibility. Rye is a one way, selfish team. When the Demons controlled the footy, which wasn’t often mind you, they looked fantastic, streaming forward, working hard to get to the next contest, hitting packs hard and being creative. When the Hillmen had control of the footy, the Demons lacked desire and an appetite for the ball. They left their opponents to do what they liked and were completely unaccountable. Some even failed to give a second effort once they lost a contest. That didn’t go for everyone though. The skipper (Sutton) was heard on a number of occasions barking instructions, especially to those playing on the ball, but his insistence fell on deaf ears. On paper, Rye looked so much more dangerous than Red Hill. It matters little though when they don’t have a ‘team first’ attitude. There is a group of players that are there for themselves and clearly don’t have any care or respect for those around them. The likes of Leigh Morse, Matt McIndoe, Ben Cain, Sutton and Ryan Taylor don’t fall into that category – they gave their all. Red Hill remains in third position, a game clear of Dromana. Rye is still two games clear in fifth spot. Dromana overcame three losses in a row, smashing Rosebud to the tune
of 47 points. The damage was done in the first quarter when the Tigers kicked 7.5 to nothing. At half time, the score was 69 to 15. The Buds came home in the second half booting 10 goals to eight, however, they were never in the hunt. They went down 12.6 (78) to 18.17 (125). Anthony Bruhn booted five for the Tigers and Paul Minchington collected his second best on ground in as many weeks with three majors and a dominant performance. Tom Baker kicked three for the Buds while Sam Krumeich was named the Buds’ best player. Devon Meadows moved to eighth place on the ladder, leapfrogging Somerville and Frankston Bombers after belting the Bombers 15.15 (105) to 8.1 (49) on Saturday. Pat Harmes and Alex and Chris Doria dominated the match for the Panthers while Jack Bow booted three goals. Duncan Proud booted three for the Bombers and was clearly amongst his side’s best, while Mitch Bosward and Sam Drake worked hard. Adrian Ridout made it 18 goals in three matches after booting eight in Somerville’s 28.17 (185) to 12.6 (78) win over Tyabb. Ridout has booted bags of six, four and eight in his only three games this season. Jedd Sutton and Rowan Hogenbirk were also dominant
performers on Saturday while David Hirst was also at his best. Jake Anderson was good again for the Yabbies up front with three goals while Tyson Sparkes and Adrian Clay were outstanding performers yet again. Sorrento had little problem getting over the line against Pearcedale on Saturday, booting 24.13 (157) to 6.7 (43). Leigh Poholke was superb again with six goals while Troy Schwarze and Kayle Stringer-Morris had the ball on a string. Matty Vagg and Pat Heijden were the best of the Dales. In the final game, Crib Point maintained its position at the top of the Nepean League ladder with a 14.14 (98) to 11.9 (75) win against Hastings. The Magpies jumped the home side in the opening term, opened up a 19-point quarter time lead and were never headed from that point on. Kyle Arnott was given an opportunity in the seniors after some good form in the reserves and responded with a seven goal, best on ground performance. Dean Warry and Brad Arnold were brilliant yet again and Matty Sloper did a job in defence. Dale Alanis booted four for the Blues and Jake Hewitt kicked three while Peter Mawson and Josh Mulheron worked hard around the ground.

Magpies still top after beating Blues CRIB POINT FNC By Jared Newton CRIB Point won its eighth game on the trot to keep itself planted on top of the ladder with a 23-point win over local rivals Hastings on Saturday. In muddy conditions Crib Point seemed to have control of the game from the start but were wasteful in front of goal with 11 scoring shots for 4 goals at the first break. It was a scrappy game in heavy conditions and despite looking in control for most of the game, the Pies were unable to completely shrug off their rivals from up the Stony Point Line. In what was a hard fought contest, Hastings never got closer than 16 points throughout the contest but Crib Point could never get further than 5 goals in front in a contest that was hard fought and tough. Despite the scrap and wet conditions, no-one told Glen Boyd who kicked seven in

his return from injury. Brad Arnold was in and under, hard and tough in a close to best afield display against his former club. Dean Kairies also put in his best performance since returning to the line-up with a sublime performance through the middle with his silky skills. The victory keeps Crib Point planted on top of the ladder with a crucial fortnight ahead against Rye and Red Hill where wins can cement top spot. Losses could see the Pointers drop to 4th. The competition is so tight in 2014 no slip ups can be afforded. The reserves slipped to their 3rd consecutive loss in a disappointing display as they were unable to get enough fluid movement to put any scoreboard pressure on. The boys are terribly undermanned at the moment with injuries and with senior players resting their sore bodies it hurts the reserves depth badly. In an upside again two more reserves
players went into the seniors in Kyle Arnott and Ben Ross and both players played their roles to contribute to the seniors winning. Despite not being able to make finals now for 2014, the reserves have played their part in the clubs success with every player asked to come up to play an important role. Whether it’s been Pemberton-Buchanan, Mick Cook, or Kyle Arnott on debut, all have come in and done their job. The under 18s bounced back from their disappointing performance against Dromana to register a draw against Tyabb-Hastings. The boys had a red hot dip and continued their improvement and whilst they’d be disappointed to not come away with their 3rd win for 2014, they have come a long way since the first half of the season and are a red hot chance to knock off the boys from Rye on Saturday to get that 3rd win for 2014.
By Phil Stone Seniors: This week we took on top of the ladder side Crib Point and with the wet weather and the rivalry it was always going to be a tough hard match. We started the the game well and for the first 10 minutes looked switched on, but we didn’t make the most of our chances and lost the momentum. The first half panned out the way of the Pies and we went in at half time down. A lack of man-on-man pressure hurt us in the first half and sometimes you wonder how much you can talk about something before it happens. If we were any chance our efforts had to change and they did. In the second half our pressure and desire for the contest improved and we nullified their dominance. It’s a shame we can’t do this from the very start of the game. All in all, we were just outclassed and their ability to use the football was better then ours.Special mentions go to Pete Mawson, Biviano, L. Hewitt, Chara, Dale Alanis and Mully who all played well and competed hard. Reserves: Today we were at home playing Crib Point in the local derby. In the first quarter Cribby came out and kicked two goals in the first five minutes before we even touched the ball. At the next centre bounce we broke out with the footy and sent it forward where Wardy took a great mark and kicked the goal. From there we kicked a couple more to be in front by a couple at quarter time. Into the second quarter, the boys started playing to the standard of the last few weeks and got on top all around the ground in muddy conditions. The second half was the same and the boys never gave Cribby a chance to get back in the game with committed team football to run out winners by around eight goals in a fantastic win. Under 18s: In the end a draw was probably the right result. Always an empty feeling but con-
sidering the contest was so close all day, a draw reflected the story of the match. Tyabb-Hastings will feel perhaps it was one that got away since they led by 11 points with 10 minutes to go in the final term. They did not take their opportunities in front of goal, ruing 4 missed shots. To Crib Point’s credit they pressed all day and took their opportunities. Two late goals come from their power forwards who were always dangerous. A hard slog all day in tough conditions. Best players were tough to pick out but Kayne Lewis has found late season form whilst Stephen Williams and Wade De La Haye continued their good form. The game was all tied up after the final siren with the scores at 3.6 each. Netball Report by Aaron Wilson WE always knew that today was going to be tough, Cribby are near the top of the table in all grades. All grades didnt get the points today but all did improve on score lines form the last time we met. Coaches award C Grade: Abbey and Alana Stone top defensive game from both of these girls they turned the ball over so often and worked so hard in defence together. B Grade Ebony and Kelly. Eb worked so hard in centre running the centre line strongly and her passing into the ring out the goalers to the space, kelly was tough as always creating turnovers with great pressure. A Grade Shaye and Renee. Our young guns stood up today against the experience of Cribby. Shayes hands over pressure and rebounding was amazing. Renee stepped up from B Grade and kept contesting and her passing was much improved. Go Blueys. Next weekend home game vs Sorrento.
