College reaches out to provide hands-on learning WESTERN Port Secondary College’s outreach program coordinator Helen Smith with Hunter Little, who is erecting posts for a mural wall project at Wallaroo Primary School. Hunter, 16, had “disengaged� from several Frankston schools as an early teen and “made a few bad choices�, Ms Smith said.

When he started in the college’s outreach program last year he had been out of school for three years. “Since he began School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships this year he has been a huge success,� she said. “Now he has part-time work as a landscape gardener and is completing VCAL through the Outreach program.�

No budget lifeline for bay rescue groups Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au VOLUNTEER groups which play a huge role in rescuing those in distress on Port Phillip and Western Port bays are “bewildered� at being overlooked in last month’s state budget.

The 26 marine search-and-rescue units in Victoria, include the Victorian flotillas of the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard, Volunteer Marine Rescue Victoria and Southern Peninsula Rescue Squad.

They say they are the only emergency service providers not to receive regular government funding and are unable to work to a budget.

A Coast Guard vessel is based at Safety Beach, the VMR at Mornington and the Southern Peninsula Rescue Squad at Blairgowrie. Their rescue work takes them into both bays.

The Coast Guard’s national public relations captain Deanne Semmens said the went on strike in February 2016 to “draw attention to our plight and save marine search and rescue in

the state from going down the gurgler�. “Now all marine units in Victoria are standing shoulder to shoulder to fix this problem,� Ms Semmens said. “The problem is that we are small and easily overlooked.�

The volunteer units – which rely on public donations and the occasional government grant – want a minimum $5 million in recurrent funding “just to survive�. “Considering the boating community contributes around $4.5 billion to the Victorian economy annually why can’t

we get the $5 million we need to provide them with the best marine emergency service possible,� Ms Semmens said. “We need adequate funding and we need to be sustainable. It’s like [the government has] forgotten us.�

Emergency services minister James Merlino said the government “greatly values� the work of marine search and rescue volunteers.

He said they “selflessly devote their time and skills to promote the safety and wellbeing of the community�.

“In the past 12 months, Emergency Management Victoria has undertaken significant work within the marine search-and-rescue sector. EMV is working with the government to identify funding sources so that [the volunteer organisations] can operate on a sustainable basis.�

Ms Semmens said the volunteer groups had provided a boating safety back-up to paid rescue services, such as the water police, for up to 60 years – overnight as well as on weekends and public holidays.

March represents ‘hope’ for future HUNDREDS joined Saturday’s Reconciliation Walk to the Willum Warrain Association’s gathering place in Pound Rd, Hastings.

Association president Peter Aldenhoven estimated that more than 300 Indigenous and non-Indigenous people participated in the march “in a spirit of hope and optimism for the future”.

The walk from the foreshore ended at the gathering place with a smoking ceremony and didgeridoo performance followed by a barbecue.

Saturday marked the 25th anniversary of Mabo Day, “a special day for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples”, Mr Aldenhoven said.

“This is always the last day of Reconciliation Week and honours the successful High Court battle by Eddie ‘Koiki’ Mabo to overturn the doctrine of terra nullius. This historic event enabled a pathway for the recognition of first Australians’ enduring links to the lands and waters of this country.”

Mr Aldenhoven said Eddie Mabo is “regarded as a hero to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the father of modern land rights”.

“The annual Willum Warrain walk represents the local Aboriginal community’s aspirations for strong and positive relationships with the broader community – an opportunity for connection and embracing culture - and working together on taking the next steps on our shared journey of reconciliation.”

Bomb squad moves ‘explosive device’ from near Hastings house THE BOMB Squad took away an “explosive device” from outside a Hastings house, 12.30pm, Sunday.

Hendersons Rd was blocked off for several hours when police isolated the “smouldering object” believed to have been thrown from a car.

The object was later taken away for forensic examination.

Mornington Peninsula CIU detectives on Monday could not discount the theory that the package was a bunch of sparklers taped together and lit – or whether it was something more dangerous.

Detective Senior Constable Shane Moodie said it was unclear why the device was placed outside a particular house. Senior Sergeant Peter Drake said police took the potential danger seriously. The area was made a crime scene and cordoned off.

“We are not sure what the person’s intentions were because the homemade device was away from the house in the tree-line, but there may be something more behind it,” he said.

Detective Senior Constable Brooke Manley, of the Arson Squad, said she could not say what the device was made from, but that it was the subject of an “active forensic examination”.

“It is a strange situation and we are appealing for witnesses to come forward,” she said.

Reaching out so that students reach in Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Point of inspiration

By Teresa Murphy THE wild, elemental beauty of Point Nepean, on the tip of the Mornington Peninsula is an awe-inspiring experience for any visitor.

For the creatively inclined, it must be particularly intense - especially if they are lucky enough to live within the landscape for a while.

Balnarring Beach artist Amanda Nelson, pictured, was one so fortunate early last month (May) when she was artist-in-residence at Police Point for two weeks, staying at the historic gatekeeper's cottage.

But before luxuriating in and inter-

preting the dramatic surrounds, her immediate reaction was rather more prosaic.

"After 18 years of housework, it was just bliss being on my own," said Nelson, who has three daughters with her musician husband, Marty NelsonWilliams. "I could cook whenever I wanted and listen to whatever music I wanted. But after three days I started to get a bit bored with my own company. Then I started questioning my purpose in my own space, but in a good way because I worked through the descent to create."

ONE notable success of the Western Port Secondary College’s outreach program concerns 18-year-old Mark Pratt who left school in year 6 and never stayed for long at any secondary school.

The road to getting the Frankston teenager re-engaged with learning was a rocky one as he, and school work, had never been compatible.

Mr Pratt had been through residential care and briefly attended several secondary schools up until he was 15, but anger management issues were “letting him down”, Western Port’s outreach coordinator Helen Smith said.

“He had found no real purpose in life and had been in a lot of alternative settings which made it hard for him to focus on study and training and, eventually, employment. After he saw us working with one of his mates he started to come around.”

After a lot of coaxing and subtle persuasion to find “where he was at”, Ms Smith managed to establish some common ground on which to lay the framework for him to have another go at study.

“The turning point was being able to help him get his learner’s permit,” Ms Smith said.

Hastings Cellars

MICHAEL Devine

With her encouragement, and his own persistence, the teenager is now well on his way to a steady career.

“He got his food handler’s certificate and barista’s certificate and is now doing a VCAL Certificate III in building and construction at Chisholm TAFE, Moorabbin,” Ms Smith said.

“He is the first member of his family to complete a senior level course.”

The college’s outreach program thrives on success stories like this.

About 40 students are in the program, which has been able to transfer 60-70 back into main stream education or training over the past three or four years.

Western Port Secondary College principal Michael Devine said one role of the outreach program was to differentiate the curriculum to ensure

each pupil is taught at his or her point of need.

“At year 7 level, for instance, the students are at various levels. We do a range of pre and post testing when classes start and differentiate students accordingly.

“We develop engaging programs, such as experiential learning, where up to 100 students get out and about, say, doing a city experience, or a free surfing visit to the peninsula, or running a community cafe.

“Some engage with others who would benefit from the program, and that might encourage them to join in.”

In a school-based traineeship over two days, such as conservation and land management, years 10-12 aim to achieve Victorian Education and Training qualifications – and get paid for their time in the process. They also do work in the community.

Others stay at school to do skillsbased training. They also do one day a week hands-on learning.

“The outreach program finds ways of keeping students at school,” Mr Devine said. “It is aimed at extremely disadvantaged kids and provides them with another opportunity to access education however possible.”

Mr Devine estimated there were 1000 teenagers across the peninsula who should either be at school or in the workplace. He described this figure as “high”. Continued Page 17

Clean Ocean goes national to track marine pollution A NEW database will provide the public with details about sewage being poured into the ocean, estuaries and rivers.

The database developed by the Clean Ocean Foundation, which successfully campaigned to clean up sewage being pumped into the ocean at Gunnamatta, has been compiled with a $400,000 federal government grant announced by Flinders MP Greg Hunt in October 2015.

Now based at Wonthaggi, the foundation’s head John Gemmill joined Mr Hunt at Gunnamatta on Friday to announce the establishment of the national outfall database, or NOD. Citizen scientists were recruited to monitor and take water samples from many of Australia’s 274 sewage outfalls.

It is hoped that the data to be shared by water authorities, the states and the Northern Territory will be used to benefit the marine environment in when plans are drawn up for developing infrastructure.

“The NOD provides the crucial first step to cross-institutional data sharing and will be a vital resource for governments and the community alike,” a news release from Mr Hunt’s office states.

“This important research will continue to monitor the impact of sewage on Australia’s marine biodiversity and ecosystems.”

The work by the Clean Ocean Foundation is part of research being

Where it all began: Clean Ocean Foundation head John Gemmill, right, returned to Gunnamatta with Flinders MP Greg Hunt to release details of a national sewage outfall database. Picture: Yanni

undertaken by the Marine Biodiversity Hub under the National Environmental Science Program (NESP).

The research in Australia’s temperate marine waters is aimed at to helping manage and protect coastal and marine environments.

When announcing the grant to the foundation in October 2015 Mr Hunt said work on the outfall database would see “fishers and surfers … become citizen scientists”.

“The research will form the basis of

a national collaboration between communities, scientists, water authorities and government agencies with the aim of working together to reduce the pollution load on our marine environment,” Mr Hunt said.

Mr Gemmill said since forcing changes at Gunnamatta the foundation had been “steadfastly focussing on addressing outfalls from a national approach, because our oceans know no borders”.

Beach survivours: Three hooded plovers hatched from one nest at Gunnamatta, above, and the 20-year-old JZ, left, was not scared to tackle marauding gulls that came too near to his home. Pictures: Glenn Ehmke

Delight as plovers fly into record books Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au USUALLY the bad news story of the breeding season, hooded plovers on the Mornington Peninsula this year have set a new record with 13 chicks taking to the air.

The successful breeding season coincides with regulations which banned dogs at all times from beaches within Mornington Peninsula National Park, the plovers’ main nesting area.

Elsewhere, storms battered beaches, wiping out hundreds of nests in Victoria and South Australia leading to the lowest breeding success for many species over the past 10 years.

At this time last year just two hooded plover chicks had managed to survive.

One nest at Gunnamatta this year saw three chicks survive, “something almost unheard of on the peninsula”, according to Friends of the Hooded Plover president Diane Lewis.

“Other areas that have long suffered consistent failure such as Koonya, Montfords and Fowlers beaches also produced stunning successes.”

Ms Lewis said the latest successes were a tribute to the “decade long effort and persistence of Parks Victoria rangers, Friends of Hooded Plover volunteers, BirdLife Australia researchers and everyone who visited the beaches during summer. They all helped by doing their little bit, by keeping clear of the signed nesting/ chick foraging areas”.

This breeding season the plovers in the Mornington Peninsula National Park were monitored by 35 volunteers

and Parks Victoria staff, with 3000 observations recorded on the BirdLife online data portal.

Fences and signs protected 81 nests, of which 59 failed. Volunteers reported 36 chicks hatching and 13 chicks surviving to fly.

A plover banded as a fledgling in 1997 at Gunnamatta by Associate Professor Mike Weston of Deakin University and identified as “JZ” and its partner “XU” nested successfully at Kooya.

Ms Lewis said it was “truly amazing” that JZ had survived for 20 years “in such a harsh environment”.

“Hoodies’ are home bodies: when they find a good home they keep it. JZ has probably never left the peninsula in his 20 years and has called Koonya West beach home for longer than many of us have had our homes,” she said.

“In his time JZ has incubated at least several dozen nests and has hatched more chicks than we can count.

Long-time volunteers have watched as he and his partners have tried and tried and tried to raise their chicks but, sadly, at best only a handful of his chicks have survived to flying age.

“In some years he and his partner have laid five nests with none surviving. But he’s never given up in 20 years. So many failures have taught JZ to be extremely wary and very, very good at protecting his nests and chicks.”

Ms Lewis said JZ and XU fended off silver gulls, moved chicks away from beachgoers and kept their chicks clear of high tides.

“One if his two-week-old flightless chicks survived being chased by a dog for more than a kilometer along the

entire Koonya West beach, as well as dealing with huge tides and storms, foxes and who knows what else.”

Glenn Ehmke, of BirdLife Australia, said visitors to the beaches where hooded plovers bred were “generally wonderful this season with much enthusiasm and interest in the little birds’ battle against the odds’’. ”It serves to show that these seemingly helpless threatened birds are not actually helpless at all,” Ms Ehmke said. “They are actually incredibly adept at negotiating a barrage of threats that would make the best of us shudder in terror, while keeping their family safe. All they need is a little help from us in the form of some space, and they have a fighting chance to beat the odds and raise a family.”

Rescue groups call for budget help

Joshua’s 24–hour splash for MS

Continued from Page 1 “This group of passionate seafaring volunteers are critical for all waterway users, whether at ports, seas or lakes in Victoria. We are not a large group of volunteers but we are an important one,” she said.

“The state government could not afford to have us off the water.”

She said volunteers had done a “lot of tin rattling and barbecues” over the years to raise money to keep boats on the water, but much of the money was spent on operational costs and training. The Carrum flotilla’s insurance bill is $10,000 a year.

“That’s not what most volunteers signed up for.

They’d rather be out there helping rescue people.”

Mr Merlino said the marine search-and-rescue sector was funded through the boating safety and facilities program, volunteer emergency services equipment program and valuing volunteers programs.

The 2014 Inquiry into Marine Rescue Services in Victoria – whose recommendations Mr Merlino said the government was actively implementing – confirmed the boating safety and facilities program was the main source of funding for marine search-and-rescue services.

The inquiry found the three programs typically offered single-purpose grants for vessels, equipment or training for vessel operation qualifications but “were not intended to finance ongoing operational costs, such as maintenance or land-based vehicle running costs”.

“The marine search and rescue sector has shown it can come together to initiate change and implement positive reform which is to be commended,” Mr Merlino said.

“There is a real sense of achievement in the sector, and this improves the ability of [volunteer] units to provide an effective service to the Victorian boating community.”

AN upsetting customer service experience made Joshua Kaiser determined to pool his swimming skills to make a difference.

The former coffee shop worker became friendly with a regular customer who later revealed he suffered from the debilitating and degenerative disease, multiple sclerosis.

Seeing the downward spiral of a customer named Greg was a confronting sight and made Joshua, 23, think about how upset he would feel if the disease afflicted a family member.

The Hastings resident subsequently became a swimming teacher and participated in the annual MS Mega Swim fundraiser “in teams of 15”.

This year he wants to get “out of my comfort zone” to attempt to swim for 24 hours on his own at Frankston’s Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC) to raise money for MS support services.

“Greg was a normal guy in absolutely every single way. He came in literally every day and had a latte. Over a span of a couple of months, we noticed he got a bit slower.

“Opening the door became difficult, picking his coffee cup up became a bit more difficult and eventually, we asked ‘are you alright?’ and he told us he had multiple sclerosis and it is getting worse.”

It was “an emotional day” when Joshua farewelled Greg on his final shift working at the coffee shop.

“He had went from his usual happy self, walking in the door with just a little bit of a limp to basically being in a wheelchair and not being able to open the door for himself.

“I didn’t realise how much people with MS really suffer.”

Joshua says swimming for 24 hours for 2500 laps of the swimming pool at PARC for the equivalent of 65km will be “a massive undertaking, a big goal”.

“In reality, 24 hours of pain, fatigue, mental endurance is absolutely nothing compared to a lifetime of living with multiple sclerosis.”

A strict training regime should help Joshua achieve his lofty goal and competing at triathlon has given him a taste of lapping up pain during endurance sports.

“In the end, it really isn’t for me. It’s for people living with MS. It’s for them, really.”

So far, he has raised about $8300 of a $24,000 target ahead of his 24-hour swim on Saturday 15 July. See msmegaswim.org.au and search for ‘Joshua Kaiser’ or call 1300 733 690 to donate.

Let’s talk!

Bullies pick on scooter rider HASTINGS police are looking into incidences around the town of elderly users of mobility scooters being stood over and bullied by youths.

Mornington Peninsula Shire mobility scooter ambassador Fran Henke went to the police after hearing from a friend who intervened last week when a woman was being bullied by eight youths in the Ritchie’s arcade.

“I wanted advice on the kind of personal alarm that mobility scooter users might carry,” Mrs Henke said. “But, coincidentally, another person at the police station was making a related inquiry so I joined in.

“The man had three pages listing similar events and said his wife was now too scared to go out on her scooter. He identified the group of youths responsible for the bullying as living on the eastern side of Hastings.

“In the arcade, however, the youths were reportedly wearing a local school uniform. This was the terrified woman’s second time of being mobbed.

“On the previous occasion she said the youths demanded she get off her scooter and give them a ride. When she said no one thrust his fist in her face threateningly.”

In another instance, a witness saw an elderly man buy cigarettes at Richie’s rebuilt cigarette counter: outside waiting for him was a mob which demanded the packet. “He just had to hand it over,” the witness said.

Scooters users have been advised to carry a small, loud alarm to alert passers-by if they require assistance.

Mrs Henke said a Hastings police officer said alarms were available online and she bought one

for $13.

She said she had “been assured that a taskforce is being planned to look into this problem”.

“For those of us who can’t walk far, mobility scooters are a boon, getting us out into the community, into the fresh air, rather than being isolated,” Mrs Henke said.

“It is appalling that elderly people can’t move around in their town in safety”.

Mrs Henke suggests having an alarm within easy reach on the scooter; carrying a mobile phone (but not visibly); dialling 000 if sensing trouble; planning scooter trips in peopled areas, and don’t leave a purse or phone in an open basket where they might easily be grabbed.

Cameras focus on safety THE death of David Cassai in Rye on New Year’s Eve 2012 was the catalyst for the installation of street CCTV cameras last week.

Flinders MP Greg Hunt met with community leaders on Friday 19 May to announce that the federal government had provided $200,000 for six CCTV cameras covering the foreshore and shopping precinct.

“That fatal one-punch hit took the life of an innocent young man and sent a ripple-effect through an entire community,” he said.

Mr Cassai’s mother Caterina Politi said she hoped the cameras would help reduce violent and anti-social behaviour. “I hope the cameras only capture butterflies, rather than violence” she said. “In the unfortunate event of an incident, these cameras are incredibly important.”

Shire’s ‘pathetic effort’ won’t increase adoptions What a pathetic effort from Mornington Peninsula Shire to have our ratepayer-funded community animal shelter at Mornington open to the public (without an appointment) for a whole two hours a week (“Animal benefits to flow from axed expo’s cash� The News 30/5/17). I hardly consider this an “ease of access� to a facility that is funded by us, the ratepayers.

Shepparton, Mildura, Melton, RSPCA Pearcedale, GAWS, Save a Dog, and Animal Aid-Coldstream are some examples of pounds that are all open to the public at least five days a week, for at least three hours a day (no appointment needed and no paperwork required beforehand).

As of today (31 May) there are only three pets up for adoption at the shire’s animal shelter, which is quite disturbing considering there are more than 1000 dogs and 700 cats impounded each year. There is normally only a handful of animals listed for adoption on Petrescue at any given time.

I can’t imagine direct adoptions will increase dramatically with so few animals listed for adoption and minimal hours open to the public.

Management has said that many of these animals are unsuitable for adoption. As a volunteer at this shelter for a year, I observed that most animals were highly suitable for adoption, and would make loving companions.

Another barrier to direct adoptions is the long-winded adoption process the public has to endure to save the life of an animal. Prospective adopters have to email the shelter to get an adoption application form sent, fill it out, send it back and then wait to see if their application has been approved before they can even visit the shelter.

This ridiculous process needs to be eliminated immediately. No kill shelter for Mornington.

Rosy Fischer, Mornington

Seasonal change I take on board Ron and Gloria’s comments (“Change off leash rules in the off season� Letters 30/5/17) in extending hours for locals to use the beach to run our dogs. Although I understand there needs to be restrictions to allow non-dog people to use the beach, it seems to be way lopsided in the hours divided between the groups.

As a dog owner and regular user of McCrae and nearby beaches to exercise family and dog, I do find it very difficult to conform and also to watch many others (particularly in the on season) not conforming.

As Locals (including our beloved dogs) we need more consideration to our use of our beach.

Mornington Peninsula Shire needs to seriously look at a better balance in the off, and maybe even the on season, to prevent the many breaches. Robyn and Wayne Berger, McCrae

Not dogs of war Good Grief. Some dog owners do have a superior sense of entitlement about themselves and their dogs? Some dog owners reserve the

right for their canine friend to crap where it likes (how many dog owners actually pick up after their dog?); harass unsuspecting humans who, incidentally, have the right to roam leash free; attack other dogs, and call it interacting, on the leash or otherwise.

According to Ron Moore, (“Change off leash rules in the off season� Letters 30/5/17) his dad, my dad and me, being a Vietnam veteran, fought to give him and other dog owners the divine right to break the laws of this land so that their dogs can roam free wherever and whenever they like.

What absolute rot. Freedom for dogs was, and is, way way down on the totem pole as a reason for going to war. With freedom comes responsibility.

John Cain, McCrae

Schools lose out Dunkley MP Chris Crewther states that “all 51 schools in Dunkley will receive a funding increase under the federal Coalition’s plan from their current funding levels� (“All Schools Benefit� Letters 29/5/17).

But the reality is that Victorian schools will be $630 million worse off under [Prime Minister Malcolm] Turnbull’s new funding model in 2018 and 2019.

The Victorian government has met its obligations with full funding allocations for 2015 to 2018.

Why? Because this funding is vital. Teachers across Victoria are reporting it’s making a real difference for students. By cutting this funding the federal Liberal government is cutting funding which could have paid for more than 5000 teachers or more than 6000 allied health staff (such as psychologists, speech therapists and social workers) to provide critical support that meets the needs of our students at risk of falling behind.

This funding isn’t just an abstract figure on a page - it’s extra teachers in the classroom, literacy support for those kids falling behind, numeracy experts, psychologists, speech pathologists. This funding is an investment in the future of children.

Families in Dunkley deserve better. Families deserve the best education possible. I call on Chris Crewther MP to stand up for families in Dunkley and call for these cuts to be reversed.

Sonya Kilkenny, Labor MP for Carrum

Eye opener Anyone labouring under the delusion, as the Andrews government appears to be, that family violence is a recent phenomenon, is exclusively the domain of men, and needs almost $2,000,000,000 of Victorian taxpayers’ money spent on it, might do well to read the “Unlawful assault� article from the Mornington Standard of 26 May, 1917, reprinted in 22 May edition of The News. It’s quite an eye-opener.

Michael Long, Frankston

Improve service Your article about extra services to be added to route 887 from Rosebud to Monash University, Frankston via the train station, includes a photo of the original Pen Bus which was a tourist coach from Ventura buses(“Students’ bus here to stay� 23/5/17). This service was replaced by a metropolitan bus service no 887 some two years ago after much political infighting by various organisations which has been well documented previously.

Bus route 887 currently operates with a very limited number of pick-up and drop-off points along the route between Rosebud and Frankston.

This requires university students and the public to travel to the nominated pick up points to use the service. An improvement would be to allow users to board the bus at any stop from Rosebud to Mt Eliza then run express to Frankston. The extra time would be minimal as the route goes from Safety Beach and Mt Martha to Mornington along the Esplanade rather than Nepean Highway.

The claim by Nepean MP Martin Dixon that he along with others have “dragged the Andrews government kicking and screaming to this outcome� seems to be typical of an MP now in opposition who had previously been in government. A rather a sad state of affairs I think.

Bruce Jordan, Capel Sound

Backtracking bus What is this nonsense about “kicking and screaming� regarding the Penbus and Route 887? To set the record straight – the student bus was set up in 2012 under the federal Labor Gillard government with a three-year grant of $1.3 million to the Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Students were left stranded when the Liberal Abbott federal government pulled the plug and held the Victorian state government to ransom to pick up the funding in 2015. Did we hear any kicking and screaming directed at the Liberal federal government from our the state Liberal Nepean MP Martin Dixon when this happened?

No. Instead, in a marked example of political spin of calling the wrong kettle black, the Labor state government (elected in 2014) became the target of a torrent of shame and blame letters and articles from Martin Dixon’s office.

The state Labor government, through the efforts of Upper House Labor MP Daniel Mulino and neighbouring Labor MP for Frankston, Paul Edbrooke, broke the standoff with the federal Liberals and provided temporary funding to keep the bus going after the 2015 June deadline.

The recent Labor state budget, in partnership with Mornington Peninsula Shire, Frankston Council, and Monash University, has now guaranteed ongoing funding of the bus service for the future of our young people.

The article prompted me to write because, to me, some comments and quotes made it sound like the Liberals were responsible for helping our students and saving the bus, where it was actually the opposite – they tried to dismantle it.

Esther Gleixner, Flinders

Keep land public There are many parcels of land, owned or administered by Melbourne Water on the Mornington Peninsula. Some of these parcels of land are deemed in excess by Melbourne Water, and are

at the moment in the process of being sold to the highest bidder, if Mornington Peninsula Shire agrees to rezone them from recreational reserves to housing.

These pieces of land have been used by our community for many years as passive and active recreation spaces. They also have become sanctuaries for local flora and fauna. A case in hand is the land is bounded by Jetty Rd, Cook Av, Bayview Rd and Herman St reserve, Rosebud.

These pieces of land could be used to connect many of our fractured and spread out nature reserves and parks with each other. They would make great biolinks and preserve the local amenity. We should keep as much of our open spaces as possible and not commercialise them.

Any land one of our state authorities deem to be in excess, should be automatically given to the local authority for use as open space or for public use. The pressure on our native environment is great enough as it is, without building up the remnant open space.

The land mentioned above, if subdivided for housing, would have major easements on it for Melbourne Water’s pipeline along one side. So any unsuspecting buyer would be hamstrung in what can be built on these blocks. Let’s keep our open spaces as just that and make the peninsula a better place.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Scrutineer applauded Good to see Clifford W Ellen is still monitoring other peoples’ letters (“Polly speak� Letters 30/5/17) and spreading his wit: half to John Cain’s letter and half to mine with a comment that warrants no reply except to say that misinterpretation can be forgiven because it is an intellectual thing, or lack of it, or an inability to properly read and comprehend; whereas misrepresentation is a deliberate strategy used by shysters, crooks and some government advertisements on television. Sometimes it’s marbles.

I have all of mine but some people have lost a few.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Court of Free speech Do we still have freedom of speech in Australia or has it been lost? I bring this up because of the silliness of the past couple of weeks over the issue of same sex marriage.

First, Australian tennis icon Margaret Court states she will refuse to fly Qantas because CEO Alan Joyce states the airline supports gay marriage. To me, both are entitled to state their views, but Ms Court ups the ante with a threat to boycott the airline.

Then follows a list of past and present tennis players calling for the renaming of Margaret Court Arena because of her opinion.

What happens next? Mr Steiner’s mailman refuses to deliver his mail because of his views on a Queensland coal mine? Mr Cain’s garbo won’t pick up his bin because of his views on the local MP? Cliff Ellen won’t be served his morning coffee because he doesn’t have an opinion on much of anything?

What happened to “ I put my view, you put yours and we both agree to disagree� without threats or intimidation? One can only hope that some form of tolerance for others beliefs can again be achieved.

A LONG-AWAITED dream came true for members of Mornington Peninsula Chorale when they sang at New York’s Carnegie Hall earlier this year.

About 50 members of the 100-member chorale made the trip to perform in the Sir Karl Jenkins Requiem as part of the Distinguished Concerts International New York (DCINY), in January.

Alongside them were combined international choirs from Finland, Spain, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, UK and US. The invitation to sing came about after the chorale performed Sir Karl’s Armed Man at Frankston Arts Centre in 2015 for the Anzac Day centenary celebrations. Senior chorister Judi McKee wrote to Sir Karl who invited them to audition for a performance. They sent an audio-visual tape over – he loved it – and New York became a reality.

The performance was the first in the 2017 series of concerts arranged by concerts international with Sir Karl conducting.

At Carnegie Hall the combined choirs participated in two, three-hour-master classes conducted by artistic director and conductor Jonathan Griffith.

“This was the first opportunity for all 300 participants from around the world to come together and sing,” Ms McKee said.

“Sir Karl was present at each rehearsal where he spoke about his work and was then available afterwards for photos and to sign scores.”

Hearts were aflutter when the choir took part in a full rehearsal on the morning of the performance: 2.30pm, Sunday 15 January, with the full DCINY orchestra.

“The warm ups in the Green Room, prior to the performance, were particularly memorable

for choristers,” member Jill Linley said.

“The impromptu joining together of voices as, country by country, choirs led their favourite warm-up, was wonderful.

“And then, to finish, a spontaneous round of Happy Birthday, as choir after choir sang it in their own language [created] a wonderful sense of unity among musicians.”

It was goosebumps, tears and excitement for chorister Christine Manktelow: “Concert Day: the buzz of gathering in our finery at the stage door, then being ushered up, up, up, up to our Green Room,” she recalled.

“The wonderful Aboa Gospel Choir from Finland was singing: “We are not alone” as their warm up. Then we were lining up and going down, down, down, down and suddenly – we were on stage at Carnegie Hall – such magic memories!”

Mr Griffiths told Mornington Peninsula Chorale members after the concert: “Dear singers, words cannot adequately express how proud I am of your performance in Sunday’s concert in the Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall.

“The review was wonderful and your high performance level came forth with energy, excitement and polish that resulted in an overwhelmingly positive response from the audience, orchestra members and the critics. Bravi!!

“If you have not had a chance to see/read the review, I am including the link so you may relish in the afterglow of a performance well done.”

He said he was especially pleased with the critics’ comment: “The chorus is to be congratulated on a very polished performance which suggested a high level of preparation.”

Lawyer brings home state top legal award Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A LAWYER working in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula has been recognised as one of the best in the legal business in Victoria.

Canda Glanville, of Maurice Blackburn lawyers, who specialises in helping road trauma victims was named Victoria’s Suburban Lawyer of the Year by the Law Institute of Victoria last month.

Ms Glanville, a principal and office manager at the legal firm’s Frankston office since its 2010 opening, who sometimes also works at the firm’s Rosebud office, said the award is “very exciting and quite a surprise�.

The 38-year-old lawyer, a member of the Mornington Peninsula Lawyers Association, said “we’ve got a lot of great lawyers on the peninsula� so “the award is a win for the people of Frankston and the Peninsula, not just me�. “I’m a big advocate for being an excellent lawyer in the suburbs,� she said. “People think you can only get a great lawyer in the city but that’s not right.�

Ms Glanville notes she and many of her legal profession colleagues often volunteer at the Peninsula Community Legal Centre to also try to offer legal services to those who can least afford it.

Transport Accident Commission and VicRoads figures reveal there were nine fatalities and 185 serious injuries on Frankston and peninsula roads in 2015.

In the past 12 months, there have been 108 incidents involving vehicles that required hospitalisation and three fatalities. “People are hurt when they come to see me. It impacts on them and their whole family so there’s a lot of emo-

tion that goes with that,� Ms Glanville said. “They are heartbreaking. They’re just people and their lives are turned upside down by something most of the time that isn’t their fault. “Every day it reminds you it could happen to anybody.�

Accidents along Beach Rd are unfortunately a regular occurrence. “We see a lot of injuries for cyclists and motorcyclists because it’s a community that rides a lot.�

Ms Glanville has tried to make lawyers “part of the treatment team� for road trauma victims. “If I help them through a difficult time then I’ve done my job well.�

Socking it to doctors’ depression Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au DOCTORS need to start helping themselves as well as others.

That’s the message a Frankston Hospital cardiologist hopes to spread by encouraging medical profession colleagues to show support for the all-toooften hidden sufferers of depression in their ranks.

Dr Geoff Toogood hopes a “crazysocks4docs” day last Thursday (1 June) when medical colleagues wore bright and “crazy” socks will become an annual event to let doctors, nurses and anyone working in the at times highly stressful medical profession to seek help if they ever feel depressed.

Dr Toogood had the idea for the crazy socks day partly from personal experience when he did not feel too good and faced a bout of severe depression in 2013.

The doctor said he had suicidal thoughts because he wanted mental anguish and pain to end despite not wanting to die.

“I think we’re bad at looking after our own health. We’re slow at recognising problems,” Dr Toogood said.

He decided to launch the crazysocks4docs initiative after he accidentally wore odd socks — his dog stole one — and colleagues asked him if he “was OK”.

It made him realise people, despite often being well meaning, do not know when someone is struggling with “invisible” depression.

“I’m trying to break down the stigma doctors can face when they have mental health issues and it’s about asking

Physicians heal thyselves: Dr Geoff Toogood wants doctors to open up and talk to each other about stresses and strains felt in the medical profession. Picture: Gary Sissons

them to get help and showing support for them,” Dr Toogood said.

“We lose colleagues across the country to suicide regularly.”

Career discrimination and being judged as “weak” by some colleagues often stop doctors and medical professionals seeking help with sometimes fatal consequences, according to Dr Toogood.

He says understanding of mental health problems afflicting the medical profession “is inching forward but it’s not fantastic”.

The doctor also hopes to partly reclaim the word “crazy” from meaning “mentally disturbed”.

“I tried to come up with a fun idea to unite doctors across the country and in

the past, ‘crazy’ meant ‘fun’.”

The Beaumaris resident has worked at Frankston Hospital for more than 20 years.

He says he now feels “really good” but is also always aware of trying to be in “the green zone” or “amber zone” instead of slipping into “the red zone” of severe depression and suicidal thoughts.

“Now I’m much more aware if I’m struggling or tired. I’ll make sure I do all the things to help me make sure I don’t go down that path again.”

And seek help from others instead of “bottling it all up inside”.  Support and information about suicide prevention can be obtained at Lifeline on 13 11 14 or the Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467. 

The long walk: John Billing and Craig Thomson are ready to step out on The Great Mornington Peninsula Bush Walk and Habitat Corridor walk. Picture: Yanni

Walking on side of the wild A WEEK-LONG walk starting on World Environment Day (Monday 5 June) is promoting the retention of wildlife habitats in Frankston and across the Mornington Peninsula.

The Great Mornington Peninsula Bush Walk and Habitat Corridor, hosted by the Australian Wildlife Protection Council, began at the Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve, Frankston and will continue to Mornington Peninsula National Park at Gunnamatta on Saturday 9 June.

Tuesday’s walk is from Baxter Park, Frankston-Flinders Rd, to Mt Martha.

On Wednesday, walkers start at The Briars, Mt Martha, and continue on to Dromana.

On Thursday they will start from Hillview community reserve, Boundary Rd, Dromana and continue on to Rosebud.

There is no walk on the Friday, but on Saturday walkers will start at the Henry Wilson Rd wetlands, Rosebud, and continue to Gunnamatta.

Protection council president Craig Thomson said that in 2010, when the Peninsula Link Freeway was started, many bushland reserves were bisected and habitat corridors lost.

He said Melbourne Water’s proposed rezoning of the Herman St reserve, Rosebud, presented the group with an opportunity to reinstate part of the lost wildlife corridor.

Thieves break into The Hastings Club THIEVES broke into the Hastings Club, 3am, Wednesday 31 May, after unscrewing the lock on the front door and rewiring the alarm to prevent it activating.

Police said three men drove up to the club in Marine Parade in a stolen black Holden wearing black clothing, gloves and balaclavas.

Two of the men then forced an internal door with a jemmy bar.

One was captured on CCTV and is described as being Caucasian with a stocky build. He used an angle grinder to try to cut open an ATM behind the bar. He got away with a small amount

of cash. Police arrived when another alarm was activated but the men had already driven off.

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

House damaged A SAMSUNG Galaxy S7 mobile phone valued at $1000 was stolen from a house in Hastings, overnight Tuesday 30 May. The burglars smashed the toilet and damaged carpets in the Brydon Court house and tagged the walls with the words “Hello 3195”.

There was no sign of forced entry.

Car stolen THIEVES kicked in the door of a Nepean Highway, Dromana unit, before stealing a 2002 Holden sedan, overnight Saturday 27 May. The car carried Queensland registration 013WNF.

Entry barred A WOULD-BE bandit broke a door handle when trying to force entry into the Curb gymnasium, Nepean Highway, Mornington, but could not gain entry, overnight Tuesday 30 May.

Driver’s days numbered A HOLDEN Commodore wagon with DIY number plates was pulled over by police in Ballarto Rd, Carrum Downs, 4.30pm, Sunday 4 June.

The cardboard number plates had the word ‘NOIDER’ written in black marker pen. The 37-year-old Frankston driver was found to be unlicensed and the car unregistered. The car, along with the handmade plates, was impounded. The driver will be charged on summons with unlicensed driving, unregistered vehicle, breach Interlock condition and driving an unroadworthy vehicle.

Cancer check BOWEL cancer is one of the most common cancers, affecting one in 18 males and one in 26 females. It is mostly seen in persons aged 40 years and over, and after 50 years the incidence increases sharply.

Armed with that data, Mt Eliza Rotary Club is encouraging greater participation in the BowelScan program.

“Records over the last 30 years have shown that there are many people who will have a positive bowel cancer test one year after a negative test,” Rotarian Maurie Selth said. “If you wait an extra year to do the test then the polyps or bowel cancer will be more advanced and more difficult to treat.”

He said 10 per cent of the BowelScan participants in the area covered by Mt Eliza Rotary needed a follow up by their doctor.

“Ninety per cent of bowel cancers can be cured if detected early and this year Mt Eliza Rotary is facilitating and extending the BowelScan program through the Mornington Peninsula and Western Port area with the involvement of 21 pharmacies,” Mr Selth said.

The pharmacies will sell the take home kits for $15 which, once a sample is taken, are sent by self-addressed envelope to the kit suppliers.

“The results are confidential and sent back to the person involved. However if the result is positive your nominated doctor is notified as well,” Mr Selth said. “Bowel cancer has the second most common cancer death rate in all Australians after lung cancer but, if diagnosed early, there’s a 90 per cent chance of successful treatment.

Kits are available up to mid-June. Call 1300 779 694.

Senior drivers’ expo A FREE senior drivers’ expo will be held at the Rosebud Memorial Hall, 9.45am-1.30pm, Saturday 24 June.

Road Safe South East is running the half day information session with backing from Mornington Peninsula Shire, VicRoads, Victoria police and RACV. Driving instructors and training staff will instruct seniors on road safety, driving skills, prescribed medicines and road laws.

WHAT’S ON AT NEPTOURS

Exhibition raises funds for MND A PHOTOGRAPHIC exhibition at the Oak Hill Gallery, Mornington, until Wednesday 28 June, will help raise money for research into motor neurone disease.

Photographer Jan Dance, pictured, is pledging to donate five per cent of the sales from her Whyte-Vision exhibition to MND Victoria in memory of her sister who died from the disease in October 2011.

“I could easily sit back and take the attitude that it is too late to help my sister and do nothing, but I have decided that I need to not be selfish and think of others who are going through this awful disease now and in the future,” she said.

“I am not looking for thanks or a pat on the back, all I am looking for is to get exposure to help raise awareness and much-needed funds to, hopefully, find a cure.”

Oak Hill Gallery is at 100 Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington. Opening times are 11am-4pm daily. Call 5973 4299.

Point of inspiration Continued from Page 5 And Amanada Nelson did create. She did with inspired passion, producing a series of striking mixed media works collectively titled “In Place”, showing at Oak Hill gallery, Mornington, this month(June).

Point Nepean has a rich and multilayered European history but it is the indigenous connection that drew Nelson.

The traditional owners of Point Nepean are the Boon wurrung balug; the beach at Point Nepean was for secret women’s business, most likely connected to fertility as dolphins and seals bred close by.

“Part of the story I’m trying to tell of place is of a traditional women’s meeting place where the first people’s young women would come for their ceremonies,” Nelson said.

“To feel so connected to nature, to really sit and listen to space, to have those views of sea and sky, I felt so blessed to have had time down there. It is a very special place.”

Amanada nelson’s exhibition “In Place” runs until 28 June at Oak Hill Gallery, 100 Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington, oakhillgallery.com.au; amandanelsonart.com

Reaching out to students Continued from Page 5 “We work with these kids who have disengaged from school and try to keep tabs on them,” he said.

“We take referrals from the Local Learning and Employment Network, the Navigator Program or the Department of Justice.

“Often we meet young people who refer themselves or others: maybe a friend in the same situation.”

Anxiety often prevents disengaged students from reaching out for help.

Their situation so overpowers them that they seek solace by hiding away in their bedrooms not wanting to think about their futures.

Ms Smith and vice principal Chris Quinn said some outreach students had not been at school for three or four years.

Schools may have attempted to engage with them but they were often transient and not easily encouraged, Ms Smith said.

“Lots of kids suffer periods of homelessness and even mental health issues; many are house bound and suffer from stress.

“Lots of schools don’t have the resources to do even initial home visits.

And often the kids won’t come out of their bedrooms. A home visit is not always going to get them re-engaged.

“It might take three to four months to re-engage with them, but every kid gets visited at least once a week.”

Text messages are good way of communicating, as well as a simple knock on the door. “It’s all about developing a relationship,” Ms Smith said. “We ask about their goals and projects they would like to become involved in, and work out their strengths and weaknesses.

“When the time is right we encourage

them to come to the learning centre if they are within our catchment.”

Students aged over 15 find doors open more easily for them, such as entry to apprenticeships and courses. Those aged 12 or 13 will find the going tougher because they are really too young to leave school.

“I often get asked what programs I offer, but it depends on the kids’ needs,” Ms Smith said. “It’s important I get involved in a conversation with them so I can engage with them and see where they are at.

“It’s a matter of finding a connection, such as through a common interest and seeing how we can engage. The point of need must be challenging but not too hard so as to be daunting.”

Finding the right time to push is subjective: “I am prepared to wait until they are ready to engage. You have got to know when the time is right to push.”

Catch-up visits are held at the Y Lounge at Shed 11, Hastings, and even the library, but “it can be like leading a horse to water”, Ms Smith said.

Mr Quinn: “If we can get the kids back there is a lot of other hands-on experiential learning that they can take part in, which links in to our approach of education across the community.

“For example, the year 9s can spend a whole day a week out of the classroom setting. We point out that it depends where they are at personally as the work is differentiated.

“It’s all part of being proactive and in trying to get these kids back to school.”

The novel approach is working: the school’s retention rate and school completion rate of students in years 7 to 12 has risen 25 per cent – for which Mr Devine recently received a Commonwealth Bank National Teaching Award.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mr J. Holley killed after being hit by freight train Compiled by Cameron McCullough WE regret to have to record that the accident which occurred to Mr J. Holley, of Mornington Junction on Tuesday of last week, through being-run over by a goods train while returning home from the Dandenong market, terminated fatally on the 31st. ult.

The deceased was much respected and sincere sympathy is felt for the bereaved family.

One of the sons is at present fighting with the Allies in defence of his country. *** A DONATION of £5 5s has been sent to the British Red Cross Society, by the “Wattle” Club. *** THE Australian Club will entertain 100 returned soldiers at Clarendon House tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. *** A CONCERT will be held this (Saturday) evening in the Somerville Hall by St Stephen’s choir and other talented singers, in aid of the local branch of the Red Cross Society. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a clearing sale at Pearcedale today, on account of Mr Leadbetter, who is leaving the district of stock, implements, vehicles, harness etc, and on Wednesday next the same firm will hold their usual sale at Somerville, when they will have a large yarding of stock, pigs, poultry and sundries. *** MR Rintoul, the Poultry Expert, paid his visit to a few of the poultry yards in Mornington Junction on Thursday last.

The weather was not very good, but it did not damp the ardor of the Poultry enthusiasts, for a good number followed him to the various yards to see his method of selection.

Particular mention could be made of Mr Wicker’s flock of beautiful white leghorns.

Mr and Mrs Wicker have spent both time and money in bringing their birds to such a state of perfection that Mr Rintoul’s first words on entering the yards were “There are several competition winners here.”

Mr Wicker has single tested his flock and several fine cockerels in the pen are from 230 egg hens, by a Tom Barron cockerel.

There were several more yards that Mr Rintoul will visit through the year to select the breeder so that their poultry business should get a push on this year. *** MRS Baker, of Glen Eira, Cranbourne Road, Tyabb, who died at the age of 80 years, was a colonist for 58 years, having arrived in Victoria in 1858 by a vessel called The Telegraph.

Mrs Baker had been a resident of Tyabb for 46 years. Her husband predeceased her by 35 years. She leaves a grown up family, there being four generations at the time of her death. *** Municipal Notice. Shire of Frankston and Hastings.

NOTICE is hereby given that NO PERSON will be entitled to be Enrolled in respect of any Property unless on or before the 10th day of JUNE, 1917, all sums payable in

respect of any rates made THREE MONTHS before such day in respect of such property have been paid.

The Rate Collector will be in attendance as at present advertised.

NOTE.—Six Months’ Interest will be charged on 11th June on all Unpaid Rates.

JOHN E. JONES, Shire Secretary. *** Dynamite and Peace THE Huns were recently boasting that Germany was vastly superior to the rest of mankind because she had been awarded fourteen Nobel prizes, while France and Britain had only been awarded six between them.

This statement anybody, if he takes the trouble, can verify or disprove for himself ; and anybody who does so will find that up to date the number of Nobel prizes awarded to France and Britain, instead of being six, is twenty one.

The Nobel prizes constitute one the most piquant things in history, for they were instituted by the late Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, the first of the line of high explosives which have figured so constantly in our talk and writing about war, and—most piquant of all —one of the big prizes is to go every year to “the person who has done most, or labored best, for the cause of fraternity among different peoples, for the suppression or reduction of standing armies, or for the formation and promotion of peace congresses.”

There are five prizes provided, supposed to be given annually, although any one of them can be withheld if no

candidate is considered to reach the highest standard.

The five subjects are physics, medicine, chemistry, literature, and peace, and it is a fact that Germans have been awarded fourteen science prizes and not one peace prize!

The only English writer who has carried off the literary prize is Mr Rudyard Kipling, who annexed it in the year 1907.

In 1914 it was not awarded, and in 1915 it was divided between two Danes, one Swede, and one Frenchman.

The value of each prize is about £8,000. *** Tommy’s Slang MANY men who prided themselves on their general knowledge are finding out since their call to the Army that soldiers possess a peculiar and unsuspected slang, original to themselves.

Everyone knows “Blighty” but how many would recognised that expressive colloquialism for London, “The Smoke.”

No soldiers ever thinks of asking for bread—it is always “rooty” Jam is “pozzy” and butter is always the “muck in.’’

An entirely Army expression is “square pushing,”’ which is practically a synonym for flirting. Square pushers are civilian boots worn only for walking out purposes.

Our lads derive much of their slang from the Hindustani. Thus a rifle is invariably a “bondook” and a bed a “charpoy”. If a soldier wants a glance at anything, he “takes a dekko”. .

Potatoes are “spuds.” A man is never admitted to hospital, he always goes “in dock.” A defaulter is a “tanker,” and a Tommy always calls himself a “squaddy”.

“Quashy” is a word in very common use. It signifies easy or comfortable.

Nowadays one does not so often hear the phrase “working a ticket.” It means that a man is endeavouring to get a discharge either by malingering or by behaving in such a way that he will be “discharged with ignominy.”

The latter inevitably means a spell in “stir,” i.e., prison. *** To The Editor SIR—I was pleased to read the letter signed “A Soldier’s Wife” in your issue dated June 2nd.

I am a ratepayer, and very nearly went in for property at Frankston, as I am so fond of a good beach.

But the silly trifling squabbles about nothing which appear in your paper, put me off, and I took my money where there are “up to date” people, surroundings and cleanliness.

I wrote before on the subject of the dirty (so called) bathing boxes a disgrace to any place, especially so pretty a spot as Frankston, near town.

You were kind enough to publish my letter, and ask you once again to oblige me.

I sympathise with your correspondent in all she says. I am, Sir. Yours faithfully, RATEPAYER. 4/6/17. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 9 June 1917

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

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

Chiropractic help in Hastings DR CLAIRE Johns and Dr Aaron McPherson are chiropractors that constantly hear clients saying they just don’t feel like themselves any more. The two doctors are pleased to say their treatments can help with negative feelings of stress, inability to cope or ‘running on empty’.

“Clients are pleasantly surprised to find the answer at our clinic,” said Dr Johns. “Our approach to the body can help you replace those negative feelings with a new sense of vitality and the confidence of being on top of things again.”

Chiropractic has a specific focus on the improvement and preservation of the health of the nervous system, which can have profound effects on your overall health and wellbeing.

“It makes sense, if your nervous system is working better, then everything the nervous system controls is likely to work and feel better,” said Dr Johns.

“Our method of chiropractic is very gentle

with no cracking or crunching of your bones, and its great at helping kids sleep better and feel less wound up and anxious. If you’re overwhelmed, we understand how you feel. We gently stimulate the nervous system to release blockages and allow your nerves and muscles to untie themselves, helping you to feel relaxed, less stressed, and with fewer aches and pains.”

Dr Johns and Dr McPherson have loved their first 2 ½ years in Hastings, right across the road from the Westernport Hotel.

“We really look forward to helping those in the community that would like to improve the quality of their life. We gladly accept DVA clients, as well as patients with EPC referrals from their GP,” they said.

Western Port Innate Chiropractic is at 3/145 Salmon St, Hastings. Phone 5979 1772. www.westernportchiro.com.au *Jacqui Dew (Kinesiologist and Life Coach) is also available for appointments at the clinic.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Achy Breaky Heart of Darkness

By Stuart McCullough CAN you believe it? An entire quarter of a century has passed since one of modern civilization’s greatest cultural catastrophes descended from the heavens like a satanic death-clown to be unleashed on an unwitting world.

On that day, the course of human history was forever altered and life as we knew would never be the same again.

I’m not sure how the anniversary will be marked. Stamp? Commemorative coin? Or, somewhat ironically, a minute’s silence? Whatever mode we choose, it’s inevitable that we’ll all pause in the coming days to wonder how it was that we were ever seduced by whatever meager charms it possessed. I speak, of course, of the release of ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ by Billy Ray Cyrus.

No doubt, you recall exactly where you were when you first heard it. For me, I was sitting on the couch one Saturday morning watching ‘Video Hits’. It was something we regularly did in our St Kilda share house. As the morning progressed, housemates would find their way to the living room, wrapped in a dressing gown and clutching a coffee cup as though it contained all life’s answers (which, in fairness, it probably did). There, we’d sit and watch music videos. Mostly it was a chance to communally lament at the poor state of popular music.

When songs we liked broke into the top twenty, it always seemed a victory against the odds.

From the safety of the big black couch, which was held together by a combination of duct tape and hu-

man sweat, we would hurl abuse and inanimate objects whenever a song that displeased us came on. As it happened, songs we disliked were most of what Video Hits had to offer. However, even we were lulled into a stupefied silence when confronted by the horror of ‘Achy Breaky Heart’.

In many respects, 1992 was pretty much like the opening sentence of ‘A

6 June 2017

Tale of Two Cities’ by Charles Dickens. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of grunge, it was the age of boy bands, it was the epoch of Seattle, it was the epoch of Right Said Fred, it was the season of Nirvana, it was the season of New Kids on the Block, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us. Most of all, we had Billy

Ray Cyrus gurning at us whenever we so much as glanced at a television.

There is no way to describe ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ other than as a total assault on the senses. There’s the song itself, which consists of just two chords. Even punk bands that refuse to learn how to play their instruments on principle frequently manage more than two chords. The lyrics tell of a love gone tragically wrong and an invitation from the singer to take whatever steps his ex deems necessary to distance herself from what is obviously some kind of romantic disaster.

It’s sage advice.

But, as always, there’s a limit to this magnanimity, and while Billy Ray is happy for his former paramour to disown him to all and sundry, the one exception is his ‘achy breaky heart.’ The song, however, is about so much more than the music – which of itself is so wretched that it would tempt anyone to accuse their own ears of treachery whenever the hear it. There’s also the small matter of the video clip.

There’s no nice way to put this – Billy Ray had a mullet so large that it could be seen from space. Traditionally, the mullet hair cut is the epitome of compromise; representing, as it does, ‘business at the front’ and ‘party at the back’. Given Billy Ray’s tonsorial state, the party must have been one where everyone stays up without sleeping for about a week and, at some point, all your furniture gets broken up and used for firewood.

The thing was huge. The mullet, however, was not even the worst thing about the video. That honour belongs

to the dancing.

Until that fateful morning on the lounge room couch, none of us had ever encountered ‘boot scooting’.

For a generation raised on the notion that dancing represented freedom, (an ethos so memorably encapsulated by our hero, Kevin Bacon, in the movie ‘Footloose’) here was something that violated almost everything we believed in. The dancers (if, indeed, you could call them that) looked like they were marching together towards the exit before turning on their heels and marching right back again. It was as though they were struggling to make a decision in unison. Our comments were, inevitably, of the unkind variety.

The song rocketed to number one on the Australian charts and went three times platinum. In spite of that success, I’m not sure it holds up too well. Later, Billy Ray was put out to stud and ended up siring Hannah Montana. For me, there’s other music from that era that I continue to love.

My housemate Kevin had a copy of ‘Badmotorfinger’ by Soundgarden.

You didn’t see Soundgarden on Video Hits. Instead, you had to stay up to catch Rage. Then, as now, I seldom stayed up so late. But I loved that album and I loved the sound of Chris Cornell’s incredible voice. For me, it was an antidote to all the boot scooting shenanigans that dominated the airwaves. To mark ‘Achy Breaky Heart’s’ quarter century, I’ll do much as I did twenty-five years ago and slip on ‘Badmotorfinger’ instead. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

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

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

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

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

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

Pines win a cracker PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SEAFORD and Pines turned on the game of the season in MPNFL Peninsula Division on Saturday.

In a match that was expected to deliver so much, it didn’t disappoint, the massive crowd getting everything and more that it came for.

The Tigers led by 10 points at halftime but a seven-goal third quarter to the visitors gave them the gap they were looking for to go on and win the match.

The Pythons led by as much as 28 points in the final term before Seaford rallied with a couple of late goals. The final margin was 14 points, 17.10 (112) to 15.8 (98).

The match had everything. High marking, strong contests, incredible individual displays and even the goal umpire became the focus of attention when a Matt McCormack goal off the crowd smashed the goalie right in the face, dropping him to the ground.

To the crowd’s delight, after five minutes of lying on the deck, the goal umpire got himself to his feet and delivered a rigorous goal signal.

Pines always appeared to be the more dangerous side when the ball went into attack but it took an hour for the visitors to find their rhythm.

The big question for Seaford was how long were the structures going to stand up. In the first half, the Tigers were almost faultless, making life very difficult for the Pythons offence.

However, with time, patience, expe-

rience and maturity, Pines was able to break them down.

Whilst Lachy Marshall was the best player on the ground with his solid four quarter performance and three goals, it was the likes of Paul Scanlon and Luke Potts in the second half through the middle that helped to turn the game Pines’ way.

Young Dylan Smilie is quickly making a name for himself as one of the best ruckmen in the comp and his tap work to advantage on Saturday was a significant reason as to why the Pythons took control of the match.

Seaford’s Brayden Irving carved up the opposition in the first half but a master stroke by Pines’ coach Pat Swayne to swing Guy Hendry onto him on the wing was another key reason they took control.

There were great one-on-one battles everywhere, which Pines were able to win by game’s end.

Corey Ash had the job on the dangerous Damien Rayson and had the better of him, Rourke Fischer did a wonderful job on Aaron Edwards but the master still managed to boot six goals.

Ben Howlett had the job on Nick Boswell but the best running defender in the whole of the MPNFL was able to break the shackles often enough to cause problems and finish with a couple of goals.

Brad Doyle did everything to unsettle Tim Bongetti but ‘Bongo’ stood up at key moments in the game to finish with three goals.

Whilst Seaford coach Ben Murphy would have been disappointed with the

result, there was more than enough to take away and be positive about.

Murphy’s structures stood-up for the most part – the challenge now is for his players to trust and commit to it for longer.

Kyle Matthews will make a big difference to the team when he comes back in. They missed his midfield rotation.

Nick Shannon looks like he needs a spell to get his knee right.

Whilst Rourke Fischer was good on Edwards, they missed his drive and bullocking higher up the ground. Edwards still kicked six goals. Would they do it a second time?

No-one looked like they could go with Brayden Irving deep in the forward line for Seaford. It would have been interesting to see him one out in the square.

Tommy Shaw was superb for the Tigers and has regained his brilliance after a couple of years away, while Jono Haidon is a real player with a big future.

Make no mistake, despite Seaford going down, they have a major role to play in the finals.

Pines are genuine flag contenders this season. Pace has always been an issue but that has been sorted. Depth is no longer a problem either with its reserves going well. They are in good shape at the pit.

Described by a spectator as one of the worst games of local footy he had seen in two years, Mornington picked up a valuable four points against Langwarrin.

The Doggies have struggled to get a win this season despite playing pretty good footy. On Saturday they led from start to finish to win 12.23 (95) to 4.8 (32).

Frankston YCW had the majority of its VFL contingent available, including Anthony Barry, and were able to get the job done over Chelsea 15.15 (105) to 7.7 (49). The Stonecats booted nine goals to three in the second half, Michael Debenham back and booting three goals.

Bonbeach continued to impress and knock over the second grand final team

of 2016, smacking Mt Eliza 12.8 (80) to 7.11 (53).

Strong second and third quarters for Bonbeach made the difference, booting seven goals to three in that period with Trent Dennis-Lane booting three and Jackson Sole winning a heap of footy.

Edithvale-Aspendale did what it needed to do against Karingal but inaccuracy cost them early.

The Eagles trailed at halftime despite having 16 scoring (2.14) shots to seven but went on to win 12.22 (94) to 6.7 (43).

Sharks finish off Hillmen title challenge NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SORRENTO flexed its muscles again on Saturday and in doing so highlighted once again that Red Hill is not capable of winning the 2017 Nepean Division premiership.

In another really important game for the Hillmen, they simply weren’t able to match the power of the Sharks and struggled to get the ball forward of centre to kick goals.

The Hillmen have now lost to Frankston, Hastings and now Sorrento, all at home.

On Saturday it lost 11.18 (84) to 6.8 (44).

The Red Hill defence held up OK but when the opposition has a forward line consisting of Leigh Poholke, Chris Dawes and Nick Corp, it’s hard to contain.

Red Hill coach Tony Blackford said after the game that “it’s achievable to hold a couple but it’s near impossible to hold them all”.

Blackford was right. Poholke was held to one goal and Corp didn’t bother the scorers, however, Chris Dawes booted five.

Luke Tapscott was the best player on the park and completely dominated through the middle in the absence of Red Hill’s Ben Poole and Chris Irving.

Poole and Irving are Red Hill’s best inside midfielders and them not being there on Saturday hurt them.

Poole has finally succumbed to a bad knee and has decided that he

PAGE 42

Western Port News

can’t push his body through it any more. He retired before the game.

Irving will be back next week.

Sorrento had some good news of their own through the week with the signature of Cayden Beetham, who will return as a one-point player. Andrew Lovett was also at the ground on Saturday watching and has been sighted at training.

Dromana made it three wins on the trot and their tails are up after beating Somerville 14.9 (93) to 10.17 (77).

Somerville once again had the better of the opposition in the first half but could only manage 4.11 to 7.5 in the first hour. Last week they had three more scoring shots that Sorrento at halftime but trailed.

Sam Fowler makes a significant difference to the Tigers and his three goals were significant.

Timmy McGennis played his best game of the season for the Eagles while Jake Neuchew played his first game and shone.

Rye made it back-to-back wins too against Crib Point but were made to work for it.

The Magpies led at the long break but Rye booted seven goals to three after the break to win 11.12 (78) to 8.8 (56). Rye has five U19s in the side currently and all of them are getting better every week.

Jai Lloyd was also a very handy addition, back from Sandringham for the remainder of the season.

Hastings got back on the winner’s list against an undermanned

6 June 2017

Pearcedale. According to coach Leigh Stewart, the Dales are minus 13 of their best players at the minute through injury.

Shaun Foster booted five for the Blues with David Hirst and Luke Clark kicking three each in the 17.12 (114) to 8.10 (58) victory.

Rosebud kicked atrociously again on Saturday but still managed a 15.28 (118) to 4.4 (28) win against Tyabb. Keegan Downie nailed four and Matt Baker three for the Buds.

Frankston Bombers took three quarters to find something and beat Devon Meadows.

The Bombers trailed all afternoon, including by 18 points at three-quarter time.

However, a five goal to one point final quarter saw the Bombers win 9.11 (65) to 7.10 (52).

Defenders Ryan Marks-Logan, Jarryd Amalfi and Corey Buchan were significant in the Bombers’ win.

Kilner brothers on target, Langy still unbeaten SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie BAXTER’S commanding 3-0 home win over Monash Uni on Saturday has catapulted it into the State 4 South promotion race.

Baxter gaffer Roy Kilner made three changes to the team which was unlucky against Harrisfield Hurricanes the previous week with Matthew Owens replacing the suspended Edin Ali, captain Frank Ntim replacing Daniel Sharratt and Alan Lipsett dropped to the bench for Daniel Disseldorp.

It didn’t take long for Baxter to strike and in the 11th minute, a superb Travis Ernsdoerfer pass found Liam Kilner whose scintillating finish made it 1-0.

Monash responded but found Baxter’s defence impenetrable.

In the 61st minute, Baxter extended its lead when Ernsdoerfer’s far post corner was headed home in style by Owen Kilner.

It was a first for the Kilner family with both brothers scoring for the same team in the same match.

And Baxter’s jubilation continued courtesy of Mark Pagliarulo who won a penalty in the 70th minute and converted from the spot.

Langwarrin remains the only unbeaten team in State 1 South-East after a 3-2 away win over Clifton Hill last weekend.

Kieron Kenny made his league debut linking with fellow English import George Whiteoak at the heart of the Langy defence with John Guthrie at right back and Andy McIntyre at left back.

Kenny and Whiteoak have played over 100 games together during their time at Macclesfield Town and Congleton Town.

Clifton Hill scored first through Michael Catalano in the 15th minute but big Mat “Yaya” Luak levelled 12 minutes later after a fine build-up by controlling the ball on his chest just inside the box then hammering a fierce shot past Clifton Hill keeper Chris Davis.

Usual suspect Liam Baxter got onto the scoresheet in the 37th minute following an Aaran Currie shot and Langy led 2-1 at the break.

In the second half Alex Metcalfe beat two opponents then slipped the ball to Connor Belger whose shot from 15 metres gave Langy a twogoal cushion.

Clifton Hill captain Daniel Thomas made it 3-2 in the 85th minute but Langy was able to hang on to all three points.

Mornington won 2-1 away to Malvern City on Saturday and could be

on the verge of making a number of signings this week.

Among the prospective newcomers are a current NPL player, a Scot currently playing in New Zealand and another UK import.

Mornington head coach Adam Jamieson is adamant that not all is yet lost in the race for the State 1 SouthEast title despite being nine points behind Langwarrin.

“If we had held onto our leads in previous weeks we’d be one point behind Langwarrin,” said Jamieson.

“I think we are the form side of the competition and we just need that bit of luck that you need to win championships.

“We are definitely in the top two and I think it is between us and Langwarrin so it will come down to whether Langwarrin can hold on or whether we can chase them down.”

Mornington dominated the first half against Malvern City and should have had more to show at half-time than a Ryan Paczkowski goal after great work by Chris Reid.

With 10 minutes to go Malvern levelled through former Mornington winger Brad Blumenthal but some Craig Smart magic and a fine finish by Simon Mur in the 85th minute settled the issue.

Make no mistake about it, Heatherton United is an ordinary side but on Saturday at Monterey Reserve, it

was made to look like championship material against an insipid Frankston Pines who are staring down the barrel of relegation in State 2 South-East.

Heatherton thumped the home team 5-1 after Pines rolled out the welcome mat for strikers Ali Sanad and Meldin Klehic with a shambolic defensive display that bordered on farce.

Michael Miller made his debut for Pines after switching from Westgate but the home side adopted a zonal defensive approach that allowed Sanad and Klehic to run riot.

Jack Wrobel’s low, firm strike in the 6th minute was only partially stopped

by Yehya Dimassi in the Heatherton goal before crossing the line for the opener but by the time the game clock had ticked over to the 29-minute mark Pines were 3-1 down and all but out.

Sanad was offside in the 19th minute when he broke down the left but the assistant referee thought otherwise allowing the Heatherton striker to draw out Pines keeper Brian Karaga before squaring to Jusuf Kusdian to tap into the gaping goal for the equaliser.

In the 28th minute, Klehic took everyone by surprise with a longrange strike that sailed over Karaga and into the far corner of goal to make it 2-1 and a minute later Sanad’s mazy run into the Pines area ended with a clinical finish past the helpless Karaga to make it 3-1.

This signalled a change in approach with Miller marking Sanad but by then the damage had been done.

Pines failed to make any inroads into the Heatherton defence in the second half and lost the midfield battle hands down.

Cedric Permal is a class act but goodness knows what the Mauritian international is thinking when he sees midfielders who won’t tackle or track back properly.

To make matters worse Heatherton’s fourth goal in the 73rd minute was embarrassing as Karaga passed the ball to the feet of Klehic who dribbled past the last defender then rounded the red-faced keeper and stroked the ball into the empty goal.

Pines’ afternoon was summed up in the 83rd minute when Wrobel robbed Dimassi who recovered and blocked Wrobel from just a few metres out.

Mirza Pedic made it 5-1 in the 89th minute and a few minutes later referee Yuhong Li did Pines a favour by blowing his whistle for the final time.

Pines’ first team needs strengthening and it needs it now if it is to drag itself clear of the relegation battle.

The same can be said for neighbouring Seaford United which is anchored to the foot of the State 2 South-East table with Pines just three points above it.

Harry McCartney reports that Seaford blew a 2-0 lead in its 4-2 away loss to Berwick City on Saturday.

A Paul McGuire penalty and an opportunist goal from Tom Natoli had Seaford in cruise control after 32 minutes but in the 40th minute a mixup in defence allowed Orlando Meijas to round Seaford keeper Anthony Madaferri and make it 2-1.

Three minutes later Meijas headed over Madaferri for the equaliser.

Josh Tsung denied David Di Iorio with a goalline clearance in the 63rd minute but substitute Ruben Ichim scored in the 77th and 92nd minutes to confirm the home team’s secondhalf dominance.

Peninsula Strikers joined the list of struggling locals when it went down 4-1 away to North Caulfield on Sunday and is now third bottom on the State 2 South-East ladder.

The home side led 3-0 at the interval with goals from Aaron Vaserman (6th minute), Daniel Sacks (26th) and Darby Dexter (47th).

Sacks put the nail in the coffin in the 53rd minute and Trevor Johnston (63rd) provided Strikers’ reply.

Skye United turned in its worst display of the season going down 1-0 at home to Collingwood City in their State 3 South-East encounter on Saturday.

Skye’s wounds were self-inflicted as Batu Cimen rose unchallenged in the 88th minute to get on the end of a set piece and head the winner.

Skye has signed left-back Sajnesh Sugrim from Strikers. Sugrim is a former Morwell Pegasus player.

Rosebud Heart and Harrisfield Hurricanes had to settle for a scoreless draw in Saturday’s State 4 South clash at Truemans Road Recreation Reserve.

It was the first time that Heart had failed to score under Scott Morrison but the home team dominated the first half and should have made more of its chances.

An errant back pass in the 20th minute sent ace scorer Dave Greening on his way but uncharacteristically Greening shot straight at Harrisfield keeper Filip Konikowski.

In the 30th minute, a poor clearance fell to Chris Sibson and he blasted the ball towards the bottom corner but Konikowski got down well to parry.

Greening hammered home the rebound only to be ruled offside.

There were few chances created in the second half until the final 10 minutes.

Greening turned a defender on the left of the box but his shot flew across the face of goal then two great saves from Sean Skelly, one from substitute Ahmet Ogut who was clean through, kept the visitors at bay.

Somerville Eagles drew 2-2 at home to high-flying Rowville Eagles on Saturday in their State 5 South fixture and the next day the home team’s fans were still venting their spleen over the display of referee Ersin Kilic.

Liam Morgan pounced on a defensive error by Rowville in the 8th minute and an Alex Colville volley in the 20th minute made it 2-0.

A controversial penalty in the 65th minute was converted by Denny Bejan and brought the visitors back into the contest and Bejan’s header back across Somerville keeper Neil Herd in the 80th minute completed the scoreline.

AFL South East flexes its muscles

By Toe Punt AFL South East has provided only two options in its recently released senior football competition review.

The paper, released at 2.30 last Friday afternoon (2 June), invited all “industry stakeholders” (including member clubs, neighboring leagues, local councils and more) to consider and make comment by early July.

The options provided were:  A full divisional structure initially comprising three divisions with promotion/relegation between each.  A partial divisional structure also comprising three divisions, with a top division then two divisions below based on geography.

AFL SE General Manager John Anderson said the options “not only address the concerns raised by the majority of clubs but they also strike a balance with the competing issues specific to some clubs.”

Anderson also stated in the media release that he was very pleased with the way the individual club consultations were conducted.

“Clubs were open, honest and respectful during the process. The discussion paper has been prepared to incorporate much of the feedback received and recorded during the consultation phase,” Anderson said.

However, key figures with clubs in Nepean and Peninsula Division believe the comments made by Anderson were nothing more than “PR Spin and misguided”.

Nepean and Peninsula clubs genuinely believe that AFL SE has totally disregarded their input and presented only options that suits themselves.

Rosebud Secretary Anthony Mat-

thews, who has spoken on behalf of Nepean and Peninsula Clubs, said the recommendations were “poorly considered and being driven by a desire to correct concerns raised with the South East Football Netball League (SENFL) at the expense of Nepean and Peninsula clubs.

“If the AFL SE think they have any chance of railroading clubs into accepting either of these options they have another thing coming. Clubs have demonstrated previously what they are prepared to do when their league doesn’t listen, doesn’t engage in meaningful consultation and does not act in the best interests of the clubs it is charged with administering,” Matthews said.

Seaford coach Ben Murphy said on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that he believed Peninsula clubs had ‘zero interest’ in having anything to do with the SENFL. “I haven’t spoken to one person at another club in Peninsula that is remotely interested in having a three-tier structure involving SENFL Clubs,” Murphy said.

Chelsea coach Brett Dunne said on RPP Footy Show that he supported promotion-relegation but only between Nepean and Peninsula clubs. RPP Footy Show regulars in Red Hill coach Tony Blackford has always been a supporter of promotion-relegation between Nepean and Peninsula and Rye’s Scott Beel is also supportive of promotionrelegation.

To give the discussion some context, it should be remembered also that three years ago the Casey League broke away from the MPNFL, reformed as SENFL and opted to have nothing to do with Peninsula and Nepean Division clubs.

It should also be remembered that divisional football was introduced more than 20 years ago when the then MPNFL saved the SENFL Clubs and took them under their structure. Divisional football at that time almost destroyed many clubs across the whole region.

The Nepean clubs had an opportunity two years ago to support promotionrelegation with Peninsula Division clubs but dug in their heels and opted to ‘leave things alone’.

Promotion-relegation between the divisions is not even an option for them right now.

Perhaps now Nepean Clubs, especially Dromana, Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento, which led the charge to block it previously, will reconsider their stance – it seems they have little choice and provides them the only alternative to the AFL SE recommendations.

Not one club spoken to in Nepean and Peninsula on Friday and over the weekend supports the AFL SE recommendations.

It is also believed that SENFL Clubs are not interested in Divisional football and some will consider a move to Eastern FL if AFL SE pushes it.

Chelsea, Bonbeach and EdithvaleAspendale would even consider a move to Southern FL. Chelsea had discussions with Southern two years ago.

Feedback must be lodged with the review panel by Monday 3 July. Stakeholders can do so by going to the AFL South East website.

The review panel will consider stakeholder feedback on each of the options and then provide a final report to the commission for its approval, scheduled for late July.

Blues storm HASTINGS FNC SATURDAY saw the Hastings Football/Netball club travel to Pearcedale for our round 8 clash.

It was certainly going to be tough assignment playing them on their home track. Our senior side played a terrific second half to come away with a convincing victory in front of good sized crowd.

Our B Grade netballers are having a great season, playing out a draw against Pearcedale on Saturday which was a great result considering they were down and came back strongly.

Our women footballers played their first home game on Saturday against the Gippsland women and had a wonderful victory.

The club is so very proud of all the women who represent our club. It’s just wonderful to see the support they are receiving from the whole Hastings community.

Seniors Report Pearcedale away is always a tough affair. The boys started the game very well but didn’t take the most of the their opportunities to place scoreboard pressure on the opposition.

The second quarter saw the club challenged with Pearcedale playing a good brand of football to bring the margin to a goal the difference at the half time break.

After a little soul searching at half time the boys came out and played a much better brand of football to open the game up. A number of our players had a fantastic second half to

come away with a convincing ten goal victory.

We now have a weeks rest and prepare ourselves for our next opponent at home against Somerville.

Reserves Report We played Pearcedale in a bit of a must win game to get back on track.

We started really well sharing the ball around and really playing good team footy; far different from last week.

With two injuries in the first half we were left with two on the bench but had a six goal lead.

The third was a good contest. Very physical and hard footy. I asked the boys at three quarter time to really use the corridor and really go for our short 20m passes.

The skill level in the last was perfect as we piled on six goals.

We won the game by 69 points in our best team performance of the year.

Best players: Wade De La Haye, Ben Schroen and Jake Dade bell.

Under 19s Report We travelled to Pearcedale confident of getting that winning feeling back.

We started well with both teams preventing one another from scoring with some hard and tough defending.

In the second we kicked some great goals with Jake Bailey and Alex Clemens proving to be great targets up forward.

Our midfield was starting to get on top with Peter Megee, Jake Knott and Lachie Barton doing some great work.

In the third Benny Paalberg was getting plenty of it forward as was Lachie

to victory Austin, both snagging goals.

Into the last the game intensity lifted with both sides going goal for goal.

Unfortunately for us accuracy let us down and Pearcedale went on to win by a goal. This was the most honest game of footy we have played for the season with everybody contributing and everyone being accountable. Proud of the boys after this one.

Best: Lachie Barton Peter Megee and Alex Clemens.

Netball Report D grade put a good challenge for three of the four quarters. Lots more hard work to do on the training track though.

Keely Gay continued her strong form in defence, with Fiona Kane backing her up.

Consistency in the attack end is the challenge for D grade and converting the defenders hard work into scores on the board.

C grade grade struggled against a strong opposition from the very first centre pass. Scoring two goals in a half is not a good feeling.

Brooke Truel’s hard work paid off with her earning best on court.

B grade was a huge arm wrestle for most of the match. Pearcedale was just on top for most of match, with the Hastings girls continuing to challenge throughout the match.

Taylah Strange and Tash Green were relentless in defence in the last quarter and Emma Smith came

back on after having a quarter off and finished off their hard work.

The result ended in a 35 all tie, a good result after looking like facing a loss at the three quarter time break.

Looking forward to a break this week and be fresh ready to face a tough Somerville opposition.

Womens Football Report Hastings vs Gippsland maroons The girls finally had a home game on Saturday although the rest of the club was playing away at Pearcedale so it was a quiet affair. Thankfully we had an inbuilt cheer squad on the bench. The girls started off strong stringing together some good passages of play and scoring well early.

The second quarter was lacklustre as they thought they could sit back and cruise through to a win.

After a rev up in the rooms at half time the girls came back on the ground with more commitment to doing the team things and played a strong second half of footy. A great effort with all the girls playing well.Score: Hastings 21.21 vs Gippsland Maroons 0 *** Upcoming Functions: Past players day 29th July vs Crib Point FNC celebrating the 1907/1947/1977 Premiership sides.

Netballers shine, footballers struggle CRIB POINT FNC CRIB Point travelled to Rye on the weekend for their Round 8 clash in what was another successful day for the netballers, while the footballers disappointing run continued.

The Under 19’s played in slippery conditions as the Rye boys took the game right up to Crib Point in the first quarter.

In the second quarter the Pies found their mojo. Daniel Henry dominated across half back and Crib Point were well on top in the middle with slick ball movement despite wet conditions.

At half time the Magpies were well on top with everyone making a contribution.

The second half was played with great endeavour but Crib Point continued to squander opportunities in front of goal.

The Pies finished the morning with a comfortable 49 point victory and they continue to gel and build momentum this season. Best players were Joel Wisken, Harri Dekleuver, Daniel Henry, Jack Hill, Will Larkin and Joshua Fenwick.

In Round 7 the Reserves recorded one of their largest winning margins in recent years.

It seemed Crib Point had found a good mix and we’re taking steps in the right direction to becoming a respectable football side.

Unfortunately all their hard work from last week was wasted as Crib Point fell back into old habits and never truly showed up in another winnable game that they let slip.

It was a tight contest in the first quarter as both sides struggled to capitalise on their chances but Rye took control of the match in the second quarter.

The Demons were first to the ball all across the ground and they seemed to want it more than the Pies.

If it wasn’t for a tremendous effort from Crib Points back six the game could have been over at half time.

The Magpies only trailed the Demons by 19 points at the start of the third quarter but weren’t prepared to work hard to get themselves back into the game.

The Pies never fired a shot and rolled over in the last as Rye finished with a 31 point victory.

Ethan Smith and Tyler Wilton were brilliant all day while Danny ‘Deckchair’ Vercoe and Tim ‘Mr.Reliable’ Malcom worked tirelessly for the Pies.

The Seniors were looking to bounce back after their most disappointing loss of the season and the team started off exactly how Coach Brad Arnold wanted them to.

The Pies were quicker, harder at the footy and played smarter which got them got out to an early four goal lead.

League legend Luke Herrington set the tone and was sensational early but Rye settled and came back at the Pies in the second quarter.

It forced Crib Point back into bad habits as they blazed away and were sloppy with footy, no longer sticking to their structures and they stopped taking the game on.

Rye began to take control of the game and had a handy 14 point lead at the end of the third quarter. Crib Point kept coming at the Demons but couldn’t make up the difference as Rye finished with a 22 point win.

Elliot Avis was outstanding in his first senior game at Crib Point and fits nicely in the back six. David Cook, brother of Tim Cook, is continuing his purple patch of good form.

In netball Crib Point’s D grade put on an amazing performance against Rye

fighting till the absolute last minute in a heartbreaking one goal loss.

The Pies had a great first half but lost their way in the third. They came out firing in the last quarter to make up a seven goal deficit and managed to take back the lead only to lose it late in the last quarter.

The girls showed so much hunger and fight for the ball but in the last few seconds Rye sealed the game. BOC went to Christie Coates for her great drives and passes.

C grade had a routine day down at Rye winning by 28 goals. Stacey Clifford received BOC for her most impressive game of the season in WD. Crib Point showed no sign of dropping off during the game proving they deserve to be in the top spot.

B grade looked comfortable against Rye in all sections of the court keeping the game on their terms and winning by 26 goals. BOC went to Holly Dobson for her great drives into the ring and fluent movement in the attack end.

A grade was missing a few key players but that didn’t stop them from recording a 54 goal win. With Belinda Nerantzoulis on her honeymoon and Dionne Douglas out Alicia Coventry and Holly Adams stepped up and slotted in nicely.

Substitute Coach Laura Herrington was able trial players in different positions and the girls slotted into these new roles effortlessly. BOC went to Adrienne Harris for an amazing game in GD and C. Crib Point have a rest this weekend for the Queen’s Birthday in what will be a well-earned break for the club’s superstar netballers, while the footballers will need to keep putting in the hard work on the track till they can sustain a consistent four quarter effort.
