Students dine out on school syllabus THE opening of the Coffee and Conversation Cafe at Western Port Secondary College was a hit with locals who enjoy just that – a cuppa and a chat. About 100 people attended the opening, including school staff, industry representatives, parents and past students who had begun the cafe journey over the past two years. The renovated cafe is the culmination of efforts from VCAL students, school-based trainees, group training provider ATEP and local businesses who donated time, resources or expertise. Principal Michael Devin said that over the past three years the college had worked to improve partnerships with community groups and in developing work-ready skills for students through coffee and hospitality training. The driving force behind the cafe, acting assistant principal Donna Geritz, described it as “a powerful training facility that engages young people, introduces them to the hospitality industry and gives them qualifications to support meaningful pathways in the future”. Recent graduates of the VCAL program, Clare Sciberras and Nicole Pearce, attended. Clare was impressed with the cafe, saying: “I wish I could come back and do it all again, this cafe is amazing.” Nicole liked the idea of being able to “pop in and catch up, grab a coffee and catch up with the staff and the school”. The student-run cafe is open to college staff, students and the public 8.30am–2pm daily during school term from. Hastings Primary School staff, Hastings Walking Club, Community House groups and local residents all visit regularly. Students complete one day of training and seven hours of work in the cafe each week, earning a Certificate III in Hospitality by the end of the year. The cafe can cater for meetings, private functions and groups with a few days’ notice.

Labor’s port pains Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au LABOR’S candidate for Hastings Steve Hosking will back the multimillion dollar expansion of the port if it leads to more jobs in the area. However, his support for the planned container port at Hastings puts him at odds with party policy which is pushing for the new container port at Bay West in Port Phillip, near Werribee.
Mr Hosking has asked Labor’s spokeswoman for Ports, Freight and Logistics Natalie Hutchins to help plan a jobs forum at Hastings and explain why the party had decided not to go ahead with plans for a container port at Hastings and what it will offer instead. “It’s something we all need to know,” Mr Hosking said. “We will still have the gas and oil here but many jobs have gone down the gurgler. “We need to have 500-plus peo-

both major parties agree Melbourne will need another container port by the mid-2020s. Mr Hosking, who needs a 9.5 per cent swing at the November state election to unseat the Liberal Neale Burgess, was speaking after a weekend newspaper report in which Ms Hutchins, said “the case for Bay West was compelling”, adding it would create thousands of jobs in Geelong.

Cameras on for top view of crime Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE $250,000 Hastings CCTV cameras were officially switched on last week with top ranking police, politicians, councillors and shire staff assembling in High St before flicking the switch. The nine cameras funded by the state government are near the skate park in Marine Pde, on the corner of High and Salmon Sts, in the Westernport Hotel car park, in Coles car park, in King St opposite the toilet block, in car parks near K-Mart and Woolworths, at the High St and Frankston-Flinders Rd corner and the roundabout at High and Victoria Sts. Two existing cameras opposite the taxi rank in King St have been linked into the new CCTV system. Signs on poles are as required by regulation. TV footage can be extracted and reviewed after incidents and also can be used in court. Cerberus Ward’s Cr David Garnock said the CCTV system was a step towards better community safety. “The shire has worked with local police, retailers and the community, and through extensive efforts I am delighted that the system is now operational and will assist in the management of crime. “Local residents are incredibly proud of this town, and we hope the CCTV system will bring even greater community pride and assist where necessary in the reduction and management of crime or anti-social activities.� Cr Garnock told the gathering that
“pushing to have the cameras implemented was a long and frustrating process that, thankfully, is now resolved�. “The council adopted the CCTV policy to promote health and safety. They don’t stop crime, but they raise community perceptions. They encourage people to walk, shop and dine in the town and that’s good for business.� He said three other peninsula locations were being assessed for cameras. Crime Prevention Minister Edward O’Donohue said Hastings was “more secure� with the cameras which were placed to help deter assaults, graffiti, theft from motor vehicles and antisocial behaviour. “We want Hastings to be an open inclusive place where people feel safe and welcome at all hours,� he said. “The CCTV cameras will make a huge difference, assisting police in preventing, detecting and investigating crimes in Hastings’ busy town centre.� Hastings MP Neale Burgess – who missed launch due to a dose of the flu – later said police would be able to monitor and control the cameras as well as review footage of incidents. At the control room at Hastings police station, officers demonstrated how they can switch from camera to camera and zoom in on trouble spots. They will not be monitored 24/7, but police can replay incidents at specific times. Switching on the cameras soothes long running tensions over installation delays between the minister and Mr Burgess and shire officers.
Here’s looking at you: All eyes were on the new CCTV cameras in High St Hastings last week. In the police control room are Cr David Garnock, Crime Prevetion Minister Edward O’Donahue, Inspector Karen Nyholm and designer Paul Dingemans at the rear. Picture: Yanni
Power provider United Energy was said to be “playing hard ball� over the siting of the cameras earlier this year, concerned the 240-volt camera power supply could make four of its collapsible steel electricity poles unsafe in the event of a car accident. After months of negotiations the issue was resolved with power being fed from steel boxes at the bases of the poles. Mr O’Donohue told state parliament in April the lack of progress in install-

ing the CCTV system was of “great concern�, particularly in light of the “tragic death last year of jeweller Dermot O’Toole�. He made a stinging attack on the shire over the delays at Hastings, as well as Mt Eliza and Mt Martha, writing a critical letter to CEO Michael Kennedy and raising the matter in Parliament. However, sustainable infrastructure director Alex Atkins said the shire had kept the minister “fully informed� of

the reasons behind the delays. “Council values the strong working relationship it has with the Minister for Crime Prevention and has kept him fully informed on the difficulties being encountered in progressing the [CCTV camera] project,� he said. “Indeed, it was believed that the minister fully understood and appreciated the extensive efforts council was making and the ground breaking work being done by shire officers in resolving the technical and legal issues involved.�

Snow White plays for a possum
Call for shire to not sell land
SNOW White and the Seven Dwarfs paid a surprise visit to Environment Minister Greg Hunt’s office in Hastings last week on behalf of Victoria’s animal emblem, the endangered Leadbeater’s, or fairy possum. Dressed in character they delivered a 4000-signature petition signed by people across Australia which they hope will convince Mr Hunt to help the fairy possum live happily ever after. Leadbeater’s possum, commonly known as the fairy possum, was named after John Leadbeater, the then taxidermist at Museum Victoria. “In the fairy tale, Snow White’s life is spared by the hunter who chooses to release her into the forest rather than commit her to certain death,” Wilderness Society community campaigner Kevi Sanyu said. “In this fairytale, Mr Hunt can choose to remove logging and save the fairy possum from extinction.” The tiny marsupial is close to the edge with fewer than 1500 remaining in the wild. If immediate action is not taken to suspend logging and protect the possum’s habitat, it is at grave risk of being lost forever, the society says. “After decades of overlogging, this tiny animal has fled to fragmented pockets of its forest home which re now subject to intensive logging leaving very little room for the animal to call home. “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are sure Mr Hunt does not want to remembered as the environment minister who allowed the fairy possum to head towards extinction on his watch. He must use his federal powers and step in to protect the possum by suspending
BALNARRING residents are pressuring Mornington Peninsula Shire to retain four blocks of land for public use. Signatures are being collected on a petition and letters have been sent to all councillors calling for the shire to withdraw “all previous decisions to re-zone the site and sell-off part of the land for commercial use”. The four blocks - zoned for public use - at 3051-3053 Frankston-Flinders Rd and 6-8 Civic Court, Balnarring. “The letter is part of an ongoing campaign by the BVC to demonstrate to council the strength of support in the local community for the draft master plan and its call to retain all four blocks of land,” Balnarring Village Common president Bronwyn Dick said. "The community is clearly united in its call for quality open space in the heart of Balnarring, which will not only provide a hub for numerous activities, it will also encourage interaction and engagement for everyone. “That so many groups, organisations and businesses have come together over this issue is proof of the shared vision that open space must be retained for community use.” Ms Dick said keeping the four “compliments the shire’s vision, mission and values statement”. “Importantly, the consultative work undertaken so far by council and the local community has created a draft master plan for the precinct that decidedly recognises the potential for use of the space.” Details: www.balnarringvillagecommon.com.au/support-for-open-space

logging in its forests. “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ petition shows that it is not only the Victorian public, but people right across Australia, who want to see the suspension of logging in fairy possum habitat, and provide a happyever-after ending for this fairy tale.” Mr Hunt said on Monday that the federal government was concerned by reports that Leadbeater’s possum was at risk. He said he was committed to
its protection and recovery. “Last week I appointed Australia’s first Threatened Species Commissioner, Gregory Andrews, who will bring a new national focus to the conservation efforts for Australia’s endangered native flora and fauna. “As one of his first actions, the commissioner will develop a priority action plan to prevent extinctions and halt the decline of Australia’s most threatened species.”
Mr Hunt said the Threatened Species Scientific Committee was re-assessing the listing status of the possum under environmental laws to determine if its status should change from endangered to critically-endangered. He said the federal government was working with the state government towards finalising the plan under national environmental law.

PLASTIC ties around the new CCTV wiring in High St seem irresistible to little corellas. During last week’s camera launch the noisy show offs were keen to bite the ties (often used as a bird deterrent), hang on to them and even grab them with their talons. When little corellas play, they become very noisy. They have conversations with each other, fly around and screech, and hang upside-down by their feet or beaks. They like living in Hastings, too, and may be responsible for seeing off the seagulls.

THE Victorian Electoral Commission is urging “prospective candidates” for the Red Hill Ward election “to act quickly in lodging their nomination to ensure they don’t miss out”. While three candidates have publicly stated their intention to seek election to Mornington Peninsula Shire observers believe their ranks will be swelled just before nominations close at midday on Tuesday 22 July. Preferences are likely to be crucial in the election being held to fill the vacancy created by the May resignation of Cr Frank Martin. The only people to indicate publicly at this stage that they intend to stand are Peter Holloway, Joe Lenzo and Mark Francett. Nominations open Thursday 17 July. “Anyone interested in representing their local community is encouraged to nominate,” returning officer Julie Allan said. Nomination forms for the postal ballot must be lodged with Ms Allan at Shop 13, 143 Point Nepean Rd, Dromana from Thursday 17 July. Ballot papers and voting information will be mailed to all eligible voters from Tuesday 5 August. Completed forms must include the $250 nomination fee and be

lodged by midday Tuesday 22 July. To save time at the election office, candidates can pre-fill their nomination using the VEC’s online Candidate Helper at vec.vic. gov.au. The nomination, however, cannot be finalised until the form is physically lodged with the returning officer. An information session for prospective candidates will be held at 5.30 pm on Tuesday 15 July at the shire offices, 90 Besgrove St, Rosebud. Keith Platt

Diamonds for Glasgow TYABB girl Bianca Chatfield led her team, the Melbourne Vixens, to a win over the Queensland Firebirds in the ANZ Netball Championship grand final. Chatfield, who grew up in Tyabb and attended Flinders College, sees her next challenge as playing for Australia in the coming Glasgow Commonwealth Games. She has been named joint vice-captain of the Diamonds. Chatfield plays goal defence and has participated in 230 national league games in the former Commonwealth Bank Trophy and the existing trans-Tasman competition.
She is the only player left from the Vixens’ foundation team of 2008 and was a member of the 2009 championship-winning team. The Firebirds beat the Vixens in Round 3 this year (48-47) but the Vixens had their revenge in Round 6, winning 50-38. They also won the major semi-final 52-47. In the grand final, the Vixens won 53-42. A crowd of 9345 watched the netball grand final at Hisense Arena, which compares favourably with the 9059 crowd watching the GWS Giants defeat Carlton at Spotless Stadium in Sydney on the same day.
Scooting safety around Hastings THE increasing use of motorised scooters in Hastings has prompted Mornington Peninsula Shire to educate their drivers about safety issues. A scooter education forum in on Monday 21 July will provide information on road rules for scooter users, scooter safety; selecting the right scooter; a recharge scheme; safe paths of travel; when to choose a scooter; and, advice for older drivers. "As a scooter user I didn't have any training except for trial and error, plenty of those. So am really looking forward to this opportunity to learn how better to use it safely and to best
advantage around our town,” shire “scooter ambassador” Fran Henke said. Cr David Garnock said a “mobility map” would show the safest and most appropriate paths for scooter users. Rosebud already has a mobility map and one is being developed for Somerville, with a planning day on Wednesday 30 July at St John’s Retirement Village. The Hastings Scooter Education Forum, 10am–12.30pm Monday 21 July at Hastings Community Health Centre, 185 High St, Hastings. Lunch provided.

Jetting off for on-water race thrills Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au IMAGINE the sense of anticipation: you are sitting at the starting line in a 12ft speedboat with a 572 cubic inch Chevy V8 churning out 1040 horsepower on alcohol fuel and generating 900ft/lbs of torque … Drop the throttle and you are away – very quickly – from idle to 100kmh in around 1.7 seconds with 2Gs of thrust and pulling up to 6Gs in the turns. That’s the sort of over-the-top experience jet fighter pilots must feel. And it’s the sensation that is driving Hastings couple Greg and Dorinda Mercier to success in the catch-meif-you-can world of V8 super boat racing. The couple, who have a skylight and roof-window business in Somerville, have just shipped their aluminium jet boat over to the US to compete in the jet boat world series in August. The couple will fly with six crewmembers to St Louis next week to race “a select crew of nutcases” who have made the sport their life. They will challenge the best from Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US at jet sprints at Poplar Bluff, St Louis and Lebanon, Oregon. The races are time trials with one boat at a time skimming over a tricky course of varying lengths. Numbers on a sheet determine the rotation for the round. “It’s pretty exciting,” said Dorinda, who admitted the Kiwis

had the edge in racing know-how and engine design, having started the sport three decades ago. The couple first enjoyed jet boat racing while holidaying in Albury in 2000. They would join the crowds and thrill to the spectacle from early morning. “I said, ‘We’ve gotta do that’,” Greg recalled. Racing is often over man-made
tracks or carved into creek beds or channels by grader, with one just over Western Port Bay at Corinella. It is very costly, too, with Greg saying the cost of his boat, new engine computer machined out of a solid block of aluminium, and racing expenses has “six numbers in it and not five”. You can translate that to around $250,000.

He and Dorinda have had great success over the years, winning the 2012 National Unlimited Championships at Temora NSW and finishing high up in races at Hervey Bay, Gold Coast and Tweed Heads before and after. “You don’t win much except bragging rights, though,” Greg admitted. They are looking forward to racing the Americans who hosted their last
world series in 2000. Boats will race twice over two days and then go into the qualifiers, making it a “last man standing affair”. Dorinda, who navigates for her husband, said: Yes, it’s all pretty exciting. Hopefully we will bring back something shiny.”
Accusations fly over bird sale Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORE than feathers are being ruffled among bird breeders following allegations of mistreatment of birds offered for sale last month at Skye. Paris Yves has complained to the RSPCA and Department of Environment and Primary Industries about the cruel treatment of parrots being displayed in small, inadequate boxes. A long time campaigner against mistreatment of birds either kept as pets of for breeding, Ms Yves, of Mt Eliza, says she has been bullied since going public with her latest complaints. The bird “sale and expo” at the Western Port Highway headquarters of Dogs Victoria was run by the Mornington Peninsula Avicultural Society on Sunday 25 May. The society’s president, David Renshaw, did not want to comment on the allegations by Ms Yves without first discussing it with the society’s committee. “I’m not prepared to give you a comment without prior notice,” he said. He said the matter had been placed in the hands of a solicitor. Mr Renshaw said all bird sales were run under a code of practice, which was “scrutinised by scrutineers”. Photographs taken by Ms Yves at the bird sale show a large sign stating a code of practice administered by the Victorian Avicultural Council. However, Ms Yves said it was unsatisfactory to have the VAC “policing themselves”.

“It is inexcusable that most birds - except the Gouldian finches in the lovely great aviary - were displayed in such an unethical way,” she said. “It was truly like walking through the back streets of an Indian market. “I am amid a public campaign so that Australians can finally discover the truth about companion bird abuse and lack of welfare and lack of laws. There
is no going back now.” Ms Yves’s emails to and discussions with breeders had come down to semantics, with some breeders claiming birds kept for breeding purposes were not companion birds. She says the law does not differentiate between the terms. A cockatoo breeder, “who also admitted that there are welfare problems at
bird sales”, referred to birds at the sale as aviary birds and not pet birds. “There is legally no difference. The DEPI welfare codes clearly includes all captive/caged birds,” Ms Yves said. “I don’t think you will get a response from the market organisers - they are in damage control. As they have breached all codes there is nothing positive they can say, the damage is done.
“The VAC failed terribly and has lost all credibility, which is why I am receiving bullying and rude emails.” Letters published in this month’s edition of Talking Birds magazine appear to confirm Ms Yves’s complaints. An anonymous letter writer from South Australia admits the bird boxes “could have been a bit bigger” but goes on to say small boxes are safer for birds and that the birds “may be distressed, but from other noises and movement, not because they are ill”. “Yes, there are some who break the rules, which is then used against others because one bad apple corrupts the rest,” the letter states. A second letter by J Milosevic (via email) says there is no doubt about Ms Yves’s good intentions and then refers to guidelines “which, unfortunately, were ignored in the case of the photos in her email”. “Guidelines and rules exist but are often ignored and I found it rather ironic that the sale where the women took the photos in her email had a large banner setting out the rules prominently displayed … what is the point of words on that banner when the rules were not enforced at that event? “If that had been done she would have had no ammunition which could be used to attack sales, demanding that they be banned. “Well, now it has happened and I hope that you keep track of what the state bodies do from now on about running sales properly, because it is obvious that at least one, the Victorian mob, has lost the plot.”

Cape the key to historical record Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au VISITING Cape Schanck can be exhilarating. Steep cliffs drop down to rocky shores battered by big waves. The track leading to Bushrangers Bay is like going through a tunnel of tea tree until it opens on one side the grassy paddocks of the historic Barragunda grazing property. Another track leads to a boardwalk down to Pulpit Rock, the cape’s furthermost point into Bass Strait. Explorer Matthew Flinders in the early 1800s described its appearance from the sea as resembling a ship under sail. The annual nesting site of white-bellied sea eagles, the rock drew plenty of attention but not always to those not overly interested in the welfare of wildlife. In February 1888 the second of two groups of hunters managed to shoot the birds, leaving their nest to slowly crumble into the sea. That same decade a mutton bird rookery on the slopes of the cape was wiped out by foxes. Seemingly always a drawcard since the earliest settlement of Europeans on the Mornington Peninsula, the cape and surrounding areas is the subject of Hastings-based historian Ruth Gooch’s latest book: “The wildest bit along the coast”. The cape area was also well known and utilised by Aborigines and a cave at the cliff base there is said to be the home of the deity, Punjil.
Looking back: Author Ruth Gooch looks towards Cape Schanck for her latest book on the history of the Mornington Peninsula. Picture: Yanni
The beaches leading to the cape and its towering cliffs drew the attention of artists, while its treacherous seas and offshore reefs led to the loss of many ships before the government of the day commissioned the building of
a lighthouse. Illustrated with drawings and photographs, the book traces the ups and downs of farming in and around Cape Schanck, giving insights into the social mores of the day and changes in
attitudes, particularly to the environment, between then and now. A librarian who lists her interests as literature, philosophy, classical astrology, Gooch has previously warned against the subjective nature of written and oral histories, knowing that the truth usually lies somewhere between. In her latest book, she gives readers a glimpse into her own past, as with an account of her father making butter by stirring a bucket of cream with a broomstick. But it is her range of references to the writing of the early settlers, their visitors and government officials that creates pictures of early Cape Schanck for her readers. As with her previous books, Seal Rocks and Frontier French Island, Gooch presents and interprets settlers’ and historians’ accounts of the life of Aborigines on the peninsula and beyond. And, as with those books she does not shy away from questioning the accepted version of what occurred between settlers and Aborigines. Repeated in her Cape Schanck book, although in a much more condensed version, are accounts of Aboriginal women being not always unhappy when “taken” by sealers. In the book about the cape Gooch raises doubts about Aboriginal “firestick farming”, maintaining that fire was most often used to flush animals from the scrub so they could be more easily killed for food. She looks at the number of lightning-induced fires and recounts
instances where fire – or more particularly its accompanying smoke - was used to signal the presence of bands of Aborigines. However, the instances she gives are not merely small fires, but rather fires with nearly two kilometre fronts left to burn of their own accord. Her insights into the diet of peninsula Aborigines in the mid-1800s – whose numbers she places at about 300 with 750,000 Aborigines nationally – comes from written accounts of their hunting methods and analysis of middens. Gooch quotes settlers as saying possums were the main source of meat, with their skins being used by the Aborigines to make rugs. Accounts are given of the fine workmanship in the stitching of the 80-120 possum skins required for each rug. Apparently the harvesting of possums by Aborigines had had little effect on their population over thousands of years. However, other abundant species which also provided food sources for the Aborigines were soon decimated after the arrival of Europeans, including emus, bush turkeys, Cape Barren geese and dingoes. Gooch covers the escape of convicts from Tasmania which led to the naming of Bushrangers Bay as well as describing duels and the successes and failures of farming various breeds of sheep and cattle.

New imam at mosque SYED Wadood Janud has been appointed imam at the Ahmadiyya Muslim community’s mosque in Langwarrin. Mr Janud, the first Australian Ahmadiyya missionary, completed his primary and secondary schooling in Adelaide before attaining his degree in Islamic theology and comparative religions in Canada. The seven-year course at the Ahmadiyya Institute of Islamic Studies, in Maple, Canada, was followed by six months as an imam of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Liberia. Mr Janud sees his main role at the Ahmadiyya Centre Melbourne in Langwarrin (formally known as Baitul-Salam or House of Peace) as being “to lead prayers and train members in religious matters, but I would also work for interfaith harmony and to build bridges between communities”. “My life is devoted to the cause of peace, harmony and love for all, hatred for none, and my doors will always be open to the community members for any help and advice.” The president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria, Javed Safdar Choudhary, said the appointment of the new imam at Langwarrin “dawns a new era in our efforts to work closely on community relations and make bridges”. Al Islam, the “official” website of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, describes the community as “the leading Islamic organisation to categorically reject terrorism in any form”
Hastings police put heat on ‘ice dealer’ A 28-year-old Hastings man is facing multiple charges including drug dealing, possessing weapons and handling stolen goods after allegedly being caught with a trafficable amount of methamphetamines early last Sunday morning. Hastings uniformed police pulled over a vehicle driven by the man in centre of town about 4.30am and allegedly found him in possession of 7 grams of “ice”. Later in the morning, police conducted a search of the man’s residence where they discovered weapons and a large number of items suspected of having been stolen. The man was released on bail to face Frankston Magistrates Court at a later date. Police said the arrest follows a “spate” of ice seizures in Hastings and surrounding areas over recent months, sparking growing concerns of major epidemic of ice use. “It’s almost a daily occurance now, although Sunday’s arrest involved a larger amount than usual,” Detective Leading Senior Constable Nick Sweetman of Hastings crime investigation unit said. “It’s a real scourge for our town and it’s clearly getting worse. We’d ask members of the public to help us clean up this growing problem by reporting any suspicious activity to police.” Contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

with its then leader, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, more than a century ago declaring “that an aggressive ‘jihad by the sword’ has no place in Islam”. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s headquarters are in the

A 20-year-old Langwarrin man has been arrested and charged over a spate of alleged sex attacks targeting lone women around shopping centre car parks in Langwarrin and Frankston. Frankston sexual offences and child abuse investigation team detectives charged the man with 24 offences relating to nine separate incidents, seven of which alleged occurred in late June. Zane Wittkowski was charged with multiple counts of indecent assault, driving while disqualified, behaving in an indecent manner and possessing cannabis.

Where’s our NBN, Mr Turnbull? Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula residents and businesses are no closer to finding out when or how they will be connected to the National Broadband Network, despite high-level visits to the region last week by Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull and parliamentary secretary for communications Paul Fletcher. Mr Turnbull, who spent the day in Frankston on Wednesday at the invitation of federal member for Dunkley Bruce Billson to inspect progress on the rollout of the NBN, said a precise timetable for the peninsula was still being assessed but that the region had been identified as a top Coalition priority. The type of technology to be used to provide broadband services to the peninsula was also yet to be determined, Mr Turnbull said, adding that “a range of options” would be explored. Mr Turnbull said NBN Co, the company overseeing the national broadband network, had advised the government that to deliver services sooner and a lower cost to both taxpayers and consumers, a “multi-technology mix” would need to be used. “This will match the right technology to the right location and make use of existing networks where possible to deliver very fast broadband,” he said. For the peninsula, the “technology mix” is expected to include some fibre, existing copper networks, satellite and wi-fi. Mr Turnbull visited a site in Frankston South where contractors are laying fibre optic cables that will see about 8000 homes and businesses con-
nected to the high-speed broadband network by the end of the year. The rollout, covering an area of Frankston South and Karingal, is Frankston’s first under the Coalition government’s “fibre to the node” model, which replaces the former Labor government’s plan to connect homes directly to the NBN network. As with the peninsula, it is still unknown when the rest of Frankston, including the city centre, will be connected to the NBN network. However, Mr Turnbull said it would be far sooner – and cheaper – than would have been the case under the Labor plan. He said the Coalition government was “determined” to see the NBN rolled out first to areas most in need, such as the Frankston and peninsula region, which has been dogged by poor internet access and mobile phone coverage. Flinders MP Greg Hunt has written the minister on a number of occasions this year seeking clarity on plans to connect the Western Port and peninsula region to high-speed broadband but a precise timetable is yet to emerge. In the meantime, Mr Hunt has been seeking funding under the federal government’s $100 million Mobile Black Spot program to address chronic mobile phone coverage issues in the region. It is hoped upgrades to the mobile network will also enable better internet access through wi-fi connectivity. Coinciding with Mr Turnbull’s visit to Frankston, Mr Fletcher attended a roundtable in the Flinders electorate at the invitation Mr Hunt to discuss mobile coverage issues. The meeting was attended by business, state, council and community representatives from across the elec-

The program aims to improve mobile coverage along major transport routes, in small communities and locations prone to natural disasters, as well as areas experiencing “unique” mobile coverage problems such as the peninsula during holiday periods. “Lives can depend on accessing mobile phone networks in emergencies, so expanding mobile phone coverage has clear benefits to public safety – as well as to the business capacity of regional communities,” Mr Hunt said. “Many parts of the Flinders elector-

ate are popular tourist destinations, so improving mobile phone networks in these areas would have a major impact for residents and visitors.” “I hope Mr Fletcher will consider the input from those who attended [last week’s roundtable], along with submissions from the broader community when implementing the Mobile Black Spot program.”The government expects to start a competitive selection process for the Mobile Black Spot program in the second half 2014, with a view to announcing the locations selected for funding in the first half of 2015. The first base stations funded under this programme are expected to begin roll out in the second half of 2015.
The state government has seized on another comment by Ms Hutchins in the article that “Labor will direct Infrastructure Victoria to conduct a comprehensive and transparent cost-benefit analysis to test Bay West against all other possible siting alternatives”. The Minister for Ports, David Hodgett, yesterday called on Ms Hutchins to “come clean with the people of Western Port and Phillip Island”, claiming that “the article revealed that a Labor government would still consider establishing the Port of Hastings as Victoria’s second international container port”. In the article, the former head of the Port of Melbourne Corporation, Stephen Bradford, said that, while a container port between Geelong and Werribee would be well connected to road and rail, the need to widen Port Phillip Heads could have “potentially catastrophic environmental consequences” Dredging a channel to the bay’s west would be a “far greater technical challenge” than dredging Western Port. Mr Hosking, a fitter and turner who worked at BlueScope, said automation at Hastings would limit job opportunities. The port’s expansion potential was also a problem, he siad, with four shipping bays needed at the start, but with future demand dictating the need for another four within the next 10 years. “It will always remain a bulk port, but containers are where the jobs are, and I don’t want to see jobs go from here [to Bay West].” Mr Hosking said BlueScope needed to be involved. “If they ramp up their imports and exports it wouldn’t be possible to have bulk goods and containers here.”

FEATURE PROPERTY
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Enhance the senses AT the end of a meandering driveway, flanked by native trees and shrubs, this stunning residence enjoys absolute privacy and a sense of serenity that will make you feel a world away. This visually intriguing home spreads out over 483 square metres (52 square) with a four-car garage centered between two distinct living zones. A virtually self-contained area in the south wing boasts a rumpus room with kitchen facilities and a full office also with a kitchen, bar and a powder room. A full length verandah connects to the remainder of the home as you enter into the dazzling family room. The spectacular kitchen has a massive island bench with stone benchtops and a full complement of stainless-steel appliances include a dishwasher, wall and convection ovens, plus a gas cooktop. The kitchen overlooks a casual meals area, perfectly orientated to take in a view of the pool area from the charming bay window, and a generous living space. The east wing begins with a calming rock garden and water feature acting as the backdrop to a formal dining area, and take a moment to imagine the memorable cocktail parties that could take place in the formal lounge with a magnificent open-fire place creating the ultimate ambience. Another powder room adjoins a smaller, separate study with the master bedroom - complete with twin walk-in robes and ensuite with spa bath - providing the final stop to this part of the home. The west wing houses four more bedrooms and a fourth bathroom, and given the already impressive family room and lounge that would serve adults very nicely, this section has the perfect set-up for children and teenagers with a first class home theatre room. Already overwhelmed with features, there is still a component to the property that cannot be faulted. The beautiful pool area merges with the tree-line in an almost “horizon” effect and includes a spa bath just a few steps from a lovely alfresco lounge. A full-size, modgrass tennis court is set further down the property, and branching off from the driveway is a double carport and a workshed for storing the work vehicles necessary to maintain the sprawling 1.6 hectare block.

A slice of the good life

SERVING up a wonderful and welcoming ambience, this well-known pizzeria has served the peninsula for many years. With regular clientele through all seasons, but most notably during the busy summer months, now is the perfect time to buy. The premises have a great fit-out with bar and full kitchen, there are rest rooms for customers and great lease conditions are available.
LOCATED in the industrial estate of Dromana, this mechanics workshop is available for lease. An extensive list of plant and equipment includes hoists, compressors, tyre fitting and balancing machines as well as shop fittings for storage of tools. The factory has a separate office and reception, with a mezzanine floor for even more storage or secondary office space. For staff, there are kitchen and bathroom facilities plus seven car spaces on the site, which is fully fenced. Perfect for someone who perhaps has just finished an apprenticeship, this business is ready to go without the usual start-up costs.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Charges of rough play between Hastings and Somerville Compiled by Melissa McCullough OWING to the inclement weather, the meeting to establish a gun club at Somerville, to have been held on Tuesday evening last, was postponed. It will now be held on Monday evening next at the Hotel Somerville. *** AT the meeting of the Mornington shire council held on Thursday, tenders for construction of 3 1/2 miles of the Point Nepean road were considered, and that of Messrs Allnutt and Baker, £4255 2s, was accepted. The council’s day man, Mr Cexhell, was appointed clerk of works. *** THERE has been paid into the taxation office as duty in respect of the estate of John Cleeland, the sum of £91,034. This represents duty on £89,536 realty and £1498 personally left by deceased. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings shire council, Cr Keast moved, according to notice, that a pound be established at Somerville. Cr Macray seconded the motion proforma, but it was ultimately decided that Crs Keast and Murray be a committee to go into the matter, and report at next meeting. *** IT is announced by cable that Miss Dorothea Wollaston, third daughter of Sir Harry Wollason, formerly Comptroller-General of Customs in Australia, was married this week to M. Georges Ferrand, a Frenchman, engaged in commercial matters. The ceremony took place in the Church of Our Lady
of Victoria, at Kensington. Captain R. M. Collins and other Australians were among the guests. *** THE quarterly meeting of the Frankston Methodist Circuit was held at Langwarrin on the 1st inst. the minister (the Rev R. Jackson) presiding. A slight increase of membership was reported, and the finances were well maintained, a small credit balance showing. Regret was expressed at the enforced absence of the senior circuit steward, Mr A. E. Gault, through illness, and a resolution passed expressive of regret at his serious illness and thanks for past lengthy and untiring services. *** THE following resolution was also passed, and a copy ordered to be sent to the State Premier, “That this quarterly meetings responsibility is to express its opinion that the proposal to introduce into the State School curriculum the art of boxing amongst boys is a step in the wrong direction, and will have the effect of lowering the moral tone of the boys in particular and the community in general; and further, that the school curriculum is sufficiently full as at present constituted therefore we express the hope that the proposal be not further considered, nor any attempt made to carry it into effect.” A deal of business of a routine character was transacted, after which a splendid tea was partaken of, provided by the ladies of Langwarrin church, for which hearty thanks was given. The remainder of the evening was spent in a meeting of a devotional character, and was much enjoyed by those present. ***
DESPITE the somewhat inclement weather, the annual ball in connection with the lodge, held on Wednesday evening, was an unqualified success. There was a splendid attendance, the dancing spade being taxed to the utmost, while a good number of spectators monopolised the stage. Gabriel’s band provided splendid music, and Mr Lee Devlin, as M.C., kept things going
THE proposed meeting for the purpose of forming a gun club at Somerville has been postponed until Monday evening next, July 13th. A good attendance requested.
with a swing till the wee sma’ hours. During an interval a tasty supper was served, and in this direction also there was nothing left to be desired. Mr Moore, who had charge of this department, is to be complimented for the excellent manner in which the catering was done. The ball committee
(Secretary H. Simcock, P.G., A. Sage, and V.G., F. Benson) worked hard to ensure the success of the lodge’s annual function, and the result of their efforts was very apparent on Wednesday evening. All the arrangements for the successful carrying out of the ball were complete in every detail, there being nothing wanting that could add to the enjoyableness of the evening. Mr John Dyke rendered valuable assistance to the committee. A special word of praise is due to Mrs G. Shepherd, for the beautiful way in which she carried out the decorations of the hall. The scheme was carried out with paper carnations, the colors of the officers of the lodge predominating, and the effect was charming. The best thanks of the lodge are due this lady for her work in this direction. *** TO THE EDITOR Sir, will you kindly grant me space once more in your valuable paper to reply to the letter written by “One who likes Justice.” It is with some regret I write again, for fear I should create the idea that I look upon the Hastings football team as a rough lot as a whole. I have known some of them for many years, and I am pleased to meet and shake hands with them either on their ground or ours. It was the wholesale charge that “One who likes Justice” made against the fairness of the Somerville team in his first letter that 1 took exception to. If he has watched them play he must know that there are as fair footballers in the Somerville team as ever kicked a ball, and when he said the team played the man and not the ball and could not take
a beating-well, it was that “that rose the dander of McCarty.” He says the Somerville player who got hit did not get as much as he deserved. I certainly don’t know what he did, so I do not know what he deserves. I have heard several tales of what he did, but he says he did nothing unfair. The umpire reported him, I believe, for rough play. I only quoted the incident in my letter to show1st: That the umpire was no’ the fairnst ever on the Peninsula; and 2nd: That some of the Hastings players were not so gentle and downhearted as “One who like Justice” would like the general public to believe. He also says “ if the delegates look to the safety of other players they will disqualify the Somerville player for life. I think this is a point for us to discuss, as I think the gentlemen who give their time as delegates are quite capable of carrying on the business of the association without any advice from us. He says I must look through the sixteenth part of an eye, and shut the other one. Well, that is a very small portion and I think even that is on a par with his common sense, far be it for me or anyone else to say through these columns when and where he was heard ealling out to “rough them up,” and then has not got sense enough to let us know who he is. I do not intend to write again on this subject, as I have had my say and am content to let the matter drop. T. W. WHITE. Somerville, 5/7/14. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 11 July 1914

She successfully ran her own Travel Agency business for 28 years and is still active in the community.

Upon liaising with St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital (SJGFRH) Speech Pathologists, Jeanette undertook the LSVT -LOUD (Lee Silverman Voice Therapy) Program to help improve her voice and communication.

Family and friends have all commented on the positive change, with her husband being especially happy. Jeanette reports that prior to doing LSVT her husband was becoming very frustrated and spent most of his time asking her to repeat herself. Now they communicate with ease. Jeanette reports that the best thing about the LSVT program was that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Therapists were extremely friendly, helpful and understanding of the problem and took the time to build up P\ FRQĂ&#x20AC;GHQFH LQ P\ DELOLW\ WR EHWWHU communicate on a long term basisâ&#x20AC;?. 6KH VD\V VKH ZRXOG GHĂ&#x20AC;QLWHO\ recommend the program to other individuals with PD commenting that â&#x20AC;&#x153;they would have nothing to lose and ZRXOG JDLQ FRQĂ&#x20AC;GHQFH LQ WKHLU DELOLW\ WR communicate with others on a day to day basis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and most important of all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they would learn to THINK LOUD!â&#x20AC;?

Jeanette feels that PD is a disease which is greatly affected by attitude and encourages patients not to consider themselves as victims, but rather to seek ways and means of helping themselves and maintaining a positive attitude towards life is extremely important.

Should Greg stay or should he go? By Stuart McCullough IT’S just not true. No matter how much you claim that a rose by any other name is just as sweet, if they were called ‘Stinkweed’, nobody would buy them on Valentine’s Day. If Shakespeare had named his key teenage protagonists ‘Darren’ and ‘Pauline’ instead of the more ear pleasing ‘Romeo’ and ‘Juliet’, one of his greatest plays would have long been forgotten. Ditto ‘Rambo’ for ‘Roger’. It wouldn’t matter a jot that Sly Stallone had biceps like Christmas hams, no one’s going to believe that a guy called ‘Roger’ could be a one-man killing machine. It’s simply not credible. Right or wrong, names matter. For many people, The Clash hold a dear place in their musical heart. But for all their success, by 1983 they were falling apart. This resulted in the sacking in Mick Jones who, aside from playing guitar, wrote a lot of the songs. When it comes to bands, sacking your chief songwriter is rarely a recipe for enduring success. Mick’s role was then replaced by, not one, but two guitarists. Nick Sheppard was recruited from a band called The Cortinas. Nick, without doubt, is a strong rock and roll kind of name even if the name of his former band was weighed down by its links to affordable sedans. Greg White, of no-fixed previous band, was the second choice. But there was a problem. Bass player Paul Simonon point blank refused to be in a band with someone called ‘Greg’. It’s fair to say that the recruiting methods of bands would not be consid-
ered best practice. There are few companies that I know of who enforce a ‘no Greg’ policy. Indeed, it’s hard to imagine anyone missing out on a job simply because of his or her name. That said, I’d probably have second thoughts about hiring someone called ‘Adolf’ or ‘Darth Vader’. Although if you go to the share fridge and find a yoghurt labelled, ‘Property of Darth Vader’, chances are you’d think twice before swiping it. The Clash would probably have welcomed Darth Vader with open arms. Not that he was ever a contender. The Artist Formerly Known as ‘Greg’ obligingly changed his name to ‘Vince’. Whether other names like ‘Adolf’ or ‘Darth’ were even considered has never been revealed. It seems
a strange kind of compromise to force on anyone. But whilst calling yourself ‘Vince’ might get a gig in the world’s biggest punk band, it doesn’t help you write a decent song. Without Mick Jones, The Clash suffered terribly. Releasing an album entitled Cut the Crap – which, had the band heeded their own advice, would have seen them release two sides of complete silence – it was perhaps inevitable that ‘The Clash’ should break up. Greg/Vince then left the music industry to work as a mini-cab driver. Life is full of little ironies. He played guitar with a guy who was in a band called The Cortinas and ended up driving one. Luckily, both ‘Greg’ and ‘Vince’ are acceptable names within the mini-cab industry.
This month’s edition of our newsletter will be available online.

Some names get all the glory. For example, certain handles feature in songs all the time while others never even get a look in. ‘Cathy’ is a popular choice – Cathy’s Clown by The Everly Brothers and You Am I, not to mention Kathy’s Song by Simon and Garfunkel. Having a ‘Jane’ song in your repertoire seems almost mandatory - there’s Song For Jainie by Tim Buckley, Sweet Jane by the Velvet Underground and Janie’s Got a Gun by Aerosmith. The Clash who, while objecting vociferously to ‘Greg’, had no problem at all with ‘Janie Jones’. Other repeat offenders include Valerie (The Monkees and Amy Winehouse/Mark Ronson) and, in a variety of forms, Sue (Wake Up Little Susie by the Everly Brothers and Runaround Sue by Dion and the Belmonts).
The wind cries ‘Mary’ and it’s also a boat called the ‘Proud Mary’. Some names get all the attention. Even slightly unusual names can often be lauded in song. Jolene by Dolly Parton, Layla by Eric Clapton and Me and You and a Dog Named Boo by Lobo to name but a few. For crying out loud, even ‘Bo Diddley’ gets multiple mentions (most notably in the song Bo Diddley written by Bo Diddley and performed by – you guessed it – Bo Diddley). And while there may only be one song dedicated to the name ‘Eloise’ it’s an absolute cracker. Performed by Barry Ryan – a name that would have seem him barred from The Clash – the film clip features Ryan on horseback riding along a windswept beach. It’s a pity for everyone that more video clips don’t feature singers on horseback. To the best of my knowledge, there are no songs featuring the name ‘Stuart’ in the title. This is for the best. That’s despite the fact that my name neatly rhymes with ‘do it’, ‘threw it’ and, perhaps most handily of all, ‘knew it’. Under no circumstances would I have been allowed to join The Clash. As for the name ‘Greg’, it has finally been rehabilitated. In the 1990s, Melbourne band TISM put out a song called Greg! The Stop Sign based on a grisly TAC commercial that caused me to give up driving entirely until 1997. The Clash could not fail to be moved. My only hope is that it gave the Artist Formerly known as Greg some comfort. He deserves as much. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Hints & tips for surviving the winter school holidays • Complain of a sore throat. • Tiny blisters inside the mouth, including blisters around the tongue, palms, fingers, soles of the feet and the genital region. The small blisters are generally not itchy like the chickenpox blisters.
Hands up if you associated winter with sick kids. Hands up again if your kids always get sick over these school holidays! Here are some hints & tips from KidzAid Paediatric First Aid Training to help you navigate through the tissues, cough medicine, bandaids & tears. Head Injury Bound to be bumps, bangs and knocks along the way. Remember if your baby/child has ANY loss of consciousness, they MUST be seen by a medical professional. If the child has a MILD head injury it is ok to let them sleep, remembering, ANY changes or concerns with your child, you will be straight off to the nearest medical centre or emergency department. Don’t be afraid to call 000 and seek their expert advice. Gastroenteritis Unfortunately if your child is hit with this highly contagious bug, they are out of bounds from socialising until 48-hours free from vomiting or diarrhoea. With gastroenteritis, it is really important that you are on the look out for dehydration. Ensure your child has plenty of fluids and instead of reaching for the cordials and flat lemonade, reach for an oral rehydration solution. Hydralyte which is scientifically formulated and safe for bubs under 12-months, contains the correct balance of electrolytes and glucose required for rapid rehydration. Bronchiolitis, Croup and Pneumonia What you need to look out for and when to seek urgent medical assistance: • Increased breathing rate, indicat-
ing your child is not getting enough oxygen. • Colour changes, your child may appear to have a bluish tinge to their lips, mouth and fingernails, again indicative of lack of oxygen. The skin can also appear gray or pale. • Noisy breathing – Grunting may be heard when your child exhales. It’s the body’s attempt to try and keep air in the lungs. • Nasal-flaring - Nostrils flaring in paediatrics is indicating the child is working very hard at breathing. • Retractions / recession - ribs ‘sucking in’ when they are breathing is another way of trying to bring more air into their lungs. • Wheezing (whistling, musical sounds) - is indicating that your
child’s air passages are becoming narrower and smaller. • Tripod position – child will adopt this position to try and draw in as much air as possible to their lungs. • Observing your child’s behaviour and the level of consciousness is important. Fractures Hard to escape when it comes to children… Snow trips, skate parks, play centres and endless curiosity and an abundance of no fear! When in doubt, treat as a fracture. Immobilise and support the injured limb straight away. Elevate and get that little limb up, think outside the box and use whatever you can. Time to pull out the cold pack as this will
assist with pain and swelling. Reach for your medicine cabinet and give pain relief. Hold off from giving your child any food or fluids at this stage, incase they require surgery. Off to the doctor, a X-ray is required. Hand, foot and mouth disease This is a viral infection predominately seen in children (under 10 years) and young adults. The viral infection is very common, easily spread but rarely causes complications. Signs and symptoms generally develop three to seven days after exposure to an infected person, the duration of the virus is usually seven to ten days. • Fever. • Tiredness. • Poor appetite.
Slapped Cheek Slapped cheek is a fairly mild viral illness also called parvovirus B19. Its name comes about because of its most obvious symptom, a red rash that makes the child’s cheeks look like they have been slapped. Slapped cheek is spread through personal contact, including coughing and sneezing. Key points to remember include: • Initial symptoms such as the headache, fever, tummy upsets is the time when the parvovirus B19 can spread to others, making it hard to identify as these symptoms are common for a range of childhood illnesses. • Allowing the child to rest and fight the infection is the key management for Slapped Cheek. • As soon as the rash is visible on the child’s face, they are no longer infectious to others, so can therefore attend school / day care. For more information on these or many other children’s health topics, visit www.kidzaid.com.au. If your child is unwell and you are unsure always seek the direct advice of your OWN medical practitioner or dial 000 and seek medical assistance immediately. While prepared by experienced and qualified health professionals, the above should be considered as opinion and general advice only.

Stonecats put squeeze on Pythons PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt PINES was brought back to earth with a thud after Frankston YCW strangled them for three of the four quarters to record a 57-point victory 2.9 (21) to 11.12 (78). It was the only Peninsula League game played on Saturday. Mornington and Mt Eliza and Chelsea and Edithvale played on Sunday. The remaining two games will be played next Saturday to conclude yet another split round. We are all very well aware that the strength of the Stonecats is the defensive unit, led by Byron and Anthony Barry. On Saturday at Eric Bell Reserve, the visitors restricted the home side to five behinds in the first half. Pines kicked their only two goals in the third quarter, courtesy of Chris Guganovic and Guy Hendry. Frankston YCW excitement machine Kyle Hutchison kicked more goals himself than the opposition. He finished with three majors. Anthony Barry found himself off the leash and forward of centre on a number of occasions, finishing with two goals while Ben Tellis also kicked multiple goals. Ash Eames played his best game for the season and seems to be well
over his hamstring tear while Ryley Hodson and Casey Radford were outstanding. Joel Brunn has been superb for the Pythons this season and was again on Saturday, while Beau Hendry and Shaun White worked really hard. It was the first game the Pythons have lost since coach Steve Ryan announced he was resigning from the position. The Pythons are already actively looking for replacements and some interesting conversations have already taken place. It is believed that two of Pines’ opponents on Saturday are on their priority list – the Barry cousins, Byron and Anthony. The Barrys were close to leaving last season, offered big deals to go elsewhere and coach. Frankston YCW coach Scott Mathers is doing a wonderful job with the team and he has them playing inspired football. Whilst it is believed there were teething problems initially, the Stonecats are now purring. Mathers said it was always going to take time for the list to get used to new ways of doing things. “We haven’t changed things too much. It’s been a winning formula but we have just tinkered,” Mathers said. “We’ve given some players some
Melee a distasteful scene OFFICIALS from Red Hill and Hastings Football Clubs need to have a good look at themselves after an on-field incident at half time on Saturday. A couple of small fights broke out just before the half time siren, before every player got involved once the siren had gone. There were a couple of disturbing things to be seen during these seven minutes of high testosterone and emotion. The first was that the trainers should not have gone anywhere near the melee. However, there were some white shirts sticking their noses into a place where they shouldn’t have been. Then, as the players had broken away and were happy to head back to the change rooms, leading officials from each club started to hurl abuse at one another as they walked from the
new roles and responsibilities and they seem to be enjoying the change.” The general consensus is that the change of coach has brought some new life into the club. For the Stonecats, it’s certainly making a difference. For the opposition, it’s something they wouldn’t want to be hearing. Inaccuracy in front of goal cost Edithvale-Aspendale a big win against neighbour Chelsea. The Eagles were always going to win the clash, however, it should have made a lot more from its 34 scoring shots to 32. Edithvale’s Matt Clark was clearly the best player on the ground, really making a statement after 18 months away from the game. The Gulls, who were never in the contest, were best served by Fia Tootoo. The Gulls would have lost by more than 72 points if he wasn’t on the park. The final score was 14.20 (104) to 5.2 (32). In the other Sunday game, Mornington turned the tables on Mt Eliza, smashing the home side 9.7 (61) to 2.13 (25). The Doggies were beaten by the Redlegs in the corresponding game in round one, however, were well in control on Sunday at Emil Masden Reserve.
field, right in front of spectators. Thankfully, the situation didn’t escalate and they all shared a sausage roll and cold beverage during the half time break. However, club people in positions of power should lead by example and leave what happens on the field, on the field.
Murray a few weeks away
CRIB POINT will be without Aaron Murray for a few weeks yet. Murray has only been training for the past week with the Pies and won’t be match fit for at least another three weeks you would expect. Murray is coming off a knee reconstruction he suffered two seasons ago. It was his second knee reconstruction. Murray crossed from his home club Somerville in controversial circumstances two weeks ago, joining former Eagle teammate and favourite son, Glenn Boyd. ‘Azza’ has been keeping himself fit and strong, competing in triathlons. He will be a wonderful acquisition for the Pies, who lost key forward Toron Petrie a fortnight ago.

Goals galore as Hillmen blitz Hastings NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt A BLISTERING nine goal third quarter saw Red Hill continue on its merry way in Nepean League on Saturday against Hastings. The Hillmen trailed by 13 points at the major change after the home side dominated the quarter, booting six goals to five behinds. Taylor Stratton was giving his side plenty of drive from the half back line, Justin Berry and Josh Mulheron were working well through the middle and around the ground and Kane Stratton was given a little bit of licence in the back half. Steven Robb was also looking lively for the Blues and Dale Alanis and Steve Charalambous were getting their hands on the footy. It was a great, free flowing contest in the first half and it appeared the Blues had the upper hand. There was also plenty of feeling in the game also. A melee happened just before the half time siren and then flowed into the half time break. Officials from both sides, who should have known better, were also involved. Red Hill has been unrelenting in third quarters this season and kicking with the wind, many believed the pacy visitors could turn it on again. For the first 17 minutes, Hastings did a wonderful job restricting the Hillmen, despite them getting their noses in front.
However, what happened in the next 8-10 minutes was super impressive. Red Hill booted six unanswered goals in that space of time and blew Hastings off the park. Jarryd Douglas, who was clearly the difference between the sides, booted four goals in the third quarter and finished the afternoon with six. Why Hastings didn’t play a loose defender in front of him when he was clearly Red Hill’s only target was staggering. Robbie Clements, who was released from Frankston Dolphins, played onball and completely dominated. His class and ball use, despite the slippery conditions, were noticeable. Paul Wintle had the toughest task for the afternoon playing on Colin McVeigh. Wintle matched ‘Col’ in all aspects of the game and even showed the Blues’ star up a few times with his work at ground level. Benny Maguiness turned the clock back and dominated through the middle while the Dal Lago brothers, Marcus and Pete showed great leadership and composure. Jake Mitchell was also outstanding, his left foot hurting the Blues on many occasion throughout the match. Red Hill has certainly matured since losing to Rye in the last kick of the day. Hastings were always going to come back with the wind in the last quarter and they did, booting three goals in
three minutes to get within four goals. However, as the rain became heavier, so did the composure and lock down of Red Hill. The Hillmen got a number behind the footy, they slowed the tempo of the match and ensured that Hastings didn’t get their hand off the footy. The Hillmen robbed the Blues of the footy. When Douglas kicked his sixth of the match at the 20-minute mark, the game was done. Red Hill ran out comfortable 32-point winners in the end, 15.16 (106) to 10.14 (74). Whilst Hastings has plenty of injuries, Red Hill won without their leading goal kicker Jarryd Eames and running machines Luke Adams and Matt Hyden. Whilst there were some at the ground that believe Red Hill’s lack of height will cost them come finals time, their leg speed, pressure, workrate and ability to hit up a lead are first class. A 6.5’ ruckman who can fill a hole down back or rest forward would top the Hillmen off nicely. Rosebud moved inside the top five with a commanding 84-point win against Pearcedale at Olympic Park Oval. Inaccuracy in front of goal cost the Buds a three-figure winning margin, however, restricting the opposition to less than three goals did wonders for their percentage.
When percentage is going to be so important this season at the business end, Rosebud’s is very healthy at 136.74. Rye, who is in sixth place on the sale amount of wins (six), has a percentage of 103.88. Hastings is in seventh place, a further game back (five wins) but has a percentage of 122.21. Of those three clubs fighting it out for a place in the top five, Hastings has by far the easiest run home. Rosebud tall timber Ben Shultz and Ben Dwyer each booted three goals for the Buds while a further eight players contributed on the scoreboard. Tom Baker and Glenn Peterson continued their outstanding form. Chris Fortnam and Matty White were the best of the Panthers, while Trav Sauer worked hard. Frankston Bombers made it two wins on the trot, upsetting Rye by 15 points at Greg Beck Oval. In tight contest all afternoon, the Bombers led for the large majority of the afternoon to win 10.13 (73) to 8.10 (58). Jay Reynolds and Ryan Marks-Logan (three goals) were sensational for the winners while Ben Simmons and Sam Drake were also at their finest. Chris Gleeson worked tirelessly for the Demons up front and finished with four majors while Adam Kirkwood and Luke Semmel tried hard.
Crib Point had little trouble getting the four points against Devon Meadows, winning 16.18 (114) to 7.7 (49). The Pies started well with the win, kicking six goals to one in the first quarter and setting up the win. Glenn Boyd finished the day with four goals while Luke Herrington kicked three. Dean Warry and David Cook were outstanding. Alex Doria and Pat Boland were the best of Devon, while Steve McInnes was also very good with three goals. Leigh Poholke kicked six goals for Sorrento in their 12-goal win against Somerville. Just like the Magpies, the Sharks booted six goals to one in the opening term and set up the 18.11 (119) to 6.10 (46) victory. Ben McCormack was again at his best for the Sharks in the back half, supported well by Chris Bagot, who is back at his best. Todd Hounsell also played arguably his best game for the Sorrento Football Club. Timmy Hirst and Jedd Sutton were the best of the Eagles. Anthony Bruhn booted eight goals and Cam Park five as Dromana booted 25.35 (185) to Tyabb’s 4.5 (29). The Tigers had 25 scoring shots in the first half and 23 scoring shots in the final quarter! Ash Souter and Rohan West were the best of the Yabbies.
Never in doubt: Red Hill got up over Hastings by 32 points after a nine-goal blitz in the third quarter got the Hillmen home and hosed. Pictures: Andrew Hurst
Magpies soar over Meadows CRIB POINT FNC
By Jared Newton CRIB Point came to play early against Devon Meadows last Saturday to ensure the same mistakes the team made several weeks earlier against Pearcedale were not repeated. A six goal to one opening term set the day up for the Magpies who despite some challenges from the Panthers throughout the day managed to keep them at bay throughout the day. Inaccurate kicking again hampered the Pies who after being 6.2 at the first break, added 3.13 in the middle two quarters before finding their feet again late in the game to pile on 7.3 to finish off the Panthers by 65 points. Final score: Crib Point defeated Devon Meadows, 16.18 (114) to 7.7 (49). Crib Point had winners right across the field with Dean Warry proving to be a revelation across half back with
another best of ground performance. Luke Herrington kicked three and Glen Boyd did his damage early when the game was there to be won with a four goal effort. David Cook was also had one of his better games after being hampered with injury with a sublime two goal effort from the middle and John Flack did what John Flack does best - win his own ball, manhandle defenders with brute strength and kick goals. The win further cements their spot on the five, now they need to cement their spot in the top three and win themselves a double chance in the finals. The reserves were undermanned and struggled with a few outs as they lost their second consecutive game against 2nd placed Devon Meadows. The Pies were competitive through the middle of the ground but were just unable to get the ball past half for-
ward and were hurt on the rebound by a side prepared to run a little harder. It’s been tough for the reserves with injuries playing a part and some of their better performers holding up spots in the seniors when called upon which doesn’t help their depth. They’re competing every week but it’s making finals more and more difficult by the week. It’s not the first time the side has had their backs to the wall and there is still time to respond. The unders went down but again showed a bit of ticker against stronger opponents. Their performances have been pretty solid in recent weeks and while it’s not translating to the four points, many in the club are impressed with the improvement shown. There are a number of kids who will develop to be good senior footballers for Crib Point in the coming years. Western Port News 8 July 2014

lead extended to 13 points at the main break. Dromana’s run and carry proved too much for the Tyabb-Hastings defence as the away team built on their half time lead and extended that to 27 points at three quarter time. Not exactly a pretty game as conditions did not suit a free flowing game of football. Laz and Aiden Cuttriss on the wing and half back respectively both had great games, and showed great attack on the ball driving it in to the forward line. Bradie Boer in the ruck was solid again and small forward Ryan McCusker (2 goals) was a live wire and provided great intensity once moved into the midfield. Fourth quarter provided 5 goals, 3 going to Dromana as they managed to win the quarter by 2 points going against the breeze. A disappointing loss for the boys as it was one that was definitely winnable.
by Phil Stone Seniors: This week we played Red Hill who were second on the ladder. It was another big test for us since we were coming off three really solid performances. We started poorly and Red Hill really ran the ball well. They were kicking with a strong wind and we were lucky they didn’t convert many of their chances. We put in a good second quarter with the wind and came in on top at half time. What was disappointing was our luck of pressure in the second half. We only had 14 tackles in the third quarter and Red Hill kicked away. We wasted an opportunity but at the same time we realised that if you don’t bring the defensive pressure that is expected and required of you then you can’t win games. Final result:Red Hill 15.16 (106) to Hastings 10.14 (74).
Up for grabs: Red Hill vs Hastings. Pic: Andrew Hurst
Reserves: We faced Red Hill on yet another day in trying conditions. After five losses in row the young blue boys needed a win for the last couple of weeks’ form without getting the main result. Kicking with a strong breeze the boys got off to a flyer, applying enormous pressure from the first bounce. At half time there was only two goals in it with the young blue boys withstanding Red Hill’s turn with the wind. In the third quarter the boys needed to try get a lead to be able to hold back Red Hill, going into the last quarter to be leading by six goals. In the last quarter the boys were all spent but kept pushing their bodies to the limit to get the result that has eluded them in past weeks to have a convincing win. Better players on the day: A.Thissen , J.Elton , C.Lehmann and the rest of the team playing a great brand of football.
Under 18s Combined: Tyabb-Hastings played host to Dromana at Tyabb. An even match beckoned as Dromana had just one more win than their opponents. The day did not turn out that way though as Dromana ran away with the match, with a 29-point win, collecting their fifth win of the year. Jayden Regan kicked the first goal of the match from the first centre bounce as the ball was swiftly moved from the middle to the forward line. Tyabb-Hastings only managed one more goal for that quarter though as kicking into the breeze was tough. Dromana got out to 10-point lead at the quarter time break. Tyabb-Hastings failed to make use of the wind in the second quarter, breaking down across half forward. Matters were made worse when Jayden Regan (league leading goal kicker) went down with a suspected serious knee injury. Dromana’s
Netball Report by Aaron Wilson WE hosted Red Hill in what was a good spirited day of netball by both clubs. C grade had their best game in weeks combining well. They are showing much improvement and having a great time out there. Keep working hard girls and a win will come. B grade had the best start to their match all season leading at half time, unfortunately it was a game of two halves for us and our brilliant play from the first half wasn’t taken into the second. Red Hill fought back hard and came away with the win. A-grade played a great game against Red Hill, both teams were evenly matched, even though we didn’t come away with the win the girls can hold their heads high as their last quarter they staged an impressive fight back and never gave up! Awards: C grade Brooke, Abbie B grade Zara, Kara A grade Amy, Kelly Go Blueys.
