Paperweight: MP Greg Hunt helps GetUp protesters carry their Great Barrier Reef anti-dredging petition into his Hastings office. Picture: Yanni

Petition procession GetUp sees dredging plan as reef madness By Keith Platt ORANGE T-shirts, costumes fashioned on marine creatures and a couple of guide dogs in training were part of the procession that made its way to the Hastings office of Environment Minister Greg Hunt. The line of about 100 GetUp supporters yesterday (Monday) wound its way from outside the Pelican Park

Recreation Centre on the foreshore to a courtyard outside Mr Hunt’s office. Four were ushered into the office where a waiting Mr Hunt was presented with a 240,000-signature petition calling on him to prevent a “coal-shipping superhighway” being dredged on Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef. GetUp says Mr Hunt can stop three million cubic metres of seabed being dug up to provide deeper and wider

shipping channels through the World Heritage-listed reef. It may be a long way from Hastings, but GetUp saw the protest march as “our chance to be heard before Minister Hunt makes any decisions that risk causing irreparable damage to our reef”. The protesters almost missed their chance as Mr Hunt’s schedule did not allow for unexpected delays.

As previously arranged, Mr Hunt was waiting at his office for the marchers, but they did not start walking until their photographer–filmmaker arrived about half an hour late. Apparently his car had broken down. As the accessible Mr Hunt spoke to protesters outside, one of his minders was recording the event on a smartphone. Neither Mr Hunt’s man or GetUp’s

cameraman was inside the office to record the petition handover. GetUp says the petition presented to Mr Hunt was one its “largest of all time” and sent “a massive message to our government about protecting our reef”. The marchers were told that once they were outside Mr Hunt’s office, their “job” would be “to stand around, smile and watch”.

Wine away time on art trail By Keith Platt MOOROODUC artist Mim Smallman has a studio with a vineyard and garden attached. For a few years she juggled time between the garden, the vineyard and the studio. “But that’s it for now,” she declared to husband Rod, and is devoting her energies “full time” to her art. Over the weekend of 26 and 27 October, Smallman’s studio in Stumpy Gully Rd will be on the map as part of the Peninsula Studio Trail’s open weekend. Preferring to work in oils, Smallman does not mind what her subject matter is: landscape, still life, portraits or abstracts. “I’ve no preference; I’m always open to where my mood goes,” she said. “I have a passion for working in oils – I like a strong palette.” Much of her output is commissioned, with most clients being recommended by “word of mouth”. Visitors will be able to walk around the garden and Mim’s Vineyard as well as sampling some of the Chirping Bird muscato and shiraz made from vines she planted in 1999. Smallman dates her love of painting back to early childhood, watching her “hobby painter” father work with watercolours. “Most of my childhood was spent

living in at least a dozen places around country Victoria [and] I ended up at Gippsland Institute doing fine art,” Smallman states on her website. “After taking a break from painting and raising my three boys [now aged 21, 24 and 26], I naturally went back to my creative side and have been manic ever since, studying and perusing art all over the world. “I have spent this time gathering insight and methodology in order to paint the best possible art.” Three years ago Smallman painted a series of portraits of Melbourne models, including six of Rhys Uhlich, who has since gone on to a career in television (Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation, The Circle, Neighbours and Coxy’s Big Break). “I loved capturing Rhys in a painting; he generously gave me his time and support. He has extraordinarily handsome features and so many wonderful looks that I’ve done six paintings of him … I wanted to capture his free spirit with the love of surfing and natural surrounds. “And I’ve never had so many budding women artists offering their help with this project.” Studios open 10am-5pm on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 October as part of Peninsula Studio Trail open weekend.

Fire hits historic cape cottage Western Port

A GROUP of visitors escaped uninjured from a fire in an historic cottage at the Cape Schanck lighthouse during last week’s wild wind storms. CFA crews from Rye, Rosebud and Boneo were called to the “Head keeper’s White Cottage” next to the light-

house last Monday after being alerted to the fire about 8.50pm. The cottage was being rented at the time by a group of four people who were alerted to the blaze by a smoke alarm. The fire was confined to the roof

space, where it caused significant damage. Internal parts of the building sustained smoke and water damage. Firefighters said the blaze appeared to have been caused by a crack in the chimney, which allowed heat to go into the roof space.

Rally to oppose port coal plans By Mike Hast WESTERN Port region’s peak environment body will hold a rally on Hastings foreshore next month protesting the proposed Port of Hastings expansion including plans to export coal. The Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council, one of the oldest “green” groups on the peninsula, founded in 1971, will mark out a symbolic area on Fred Smith Reserve for a coal-drying facility. The reserve, part of the town’s reclaimed foreshore, runs from the bowling club to the pier. The rally has been dubbed “No coal port for Hastings; no port expansion for Hastings”. Protection council president Karri Giles said coal ports had been proposed for Hastings as well as in Gippsland at Ninety Mile Beach (McGauran’s Beach) and Corner Inlet (Port Anthony). “We don’t want Hastings to be a coal port and there are many people in the region, not just environmentalists, who agree with us,” she said. Proponents of so-called alternative brown coal products such as pellets (briquettes) and fertilisers are lobbying all levels of government for a rail line and port to export Latrobe Valley’s brown coal. They are seeking a way to export 30 to 50 million tonnes annually in the next 15 years. Early studies have the Ninety Mile Beach option in front of Hastings and Corner Inlet for coal proponents. The Ninety Mile Beach option has been costed at about $3 billion but the

state government has committed to expand the Port of Hastings, which is likely to cost at least $10 billion. Ports Minister David Hodgett reportedly said Hastings was “clearly of the most benefit to Gippsland’s position”. “The shorter you have to move freight, the more cost-efficient it is but you can’t have ports dotted along the coast just because it is more convenient for companies to get the freight to water,” he said. Karri Giles said one of the coal companies, Exergen, wanted to removed water from Latrobe Valley’s brown coal (to make it nearly as good as NSW and Queensland black coal) and pipe the “dewatered” coal in a slurry pipeline from Gippsland to Hastings. It would undergo secondary dewatering at a Western Port location before being loaded on to ships for export to India, Japan, Korea and other Asian countries. In 2011, Exergen said Crib Point jetty, which is owned by the state government, was “grossly underutilised” and would be “suitable for use, thus keeping additional infrastructure requirements to a bare minimum”. Companies around the world are experimenting with ways to “dry” brown coal to cut its emissions when used in power stations. Proponents of drying coal say it can reduce moisture content from more than 60 per cent to about 25 per cent and cut emissions when burned by about 30 per cent. Ms Giles said Mr Hodgetts told a recent meeting with Blue Wedges Coalition (a coalition of 65 environment and

other groups opposed to development in both Port Phillip and Western Port) there would be bulk exports through the Port of Hastings. “The draft Gippsland freight strategy states Gippsland being connected to Hastings by rail would enhance its exports including coal products,” Ms Giles said. Last year, Hastings MP Neale Burgess said there would be no heavy industry at Crib Point under a Liberal-

jointly owned by Shell and Exxon Mobil through a company called Crib Point Terminals, which has no plans for the site.  Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council “No coal port for Hastings” rally, 2-3.30pm, Saturday 9 November, Fred Smith Reserve, Hastings (end of High St).

Beachwalk revealed car-sized â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wombatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

CO SE N N RV O TR IC AC E TS

By Mike Hast SORRENTO resident David Thomas and his mum went for a walk along the ocean coast of the peninsula last year. It was low tide and the pair was able to walk around a rocky headland not readily accessible to walkers. They came across a section of a sandstone cliff that had collapsed, not unusual on this part of the rugged coast of Mornington Peninsula National Park, which faces Bass Straitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relentless ocean swell. Sticking out of the rock about three metres above the water was what looked like a human shoulder bone. Mr Thomas called police, who said it was unlikely to be a human bone and directed him to Parks Victoria. He took Parks ranger Bruce McFayden to the site and it was decided to call in the experts About two weeks later, scientists from Melbourne Museum arrived. It was soon obvious to them that Mr Thomas had discovered a creature not seen for about 40,000 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a marsupial from the diprotodon family; a huge wombat-like creature the size of a rhinoceros, or a VW Beetle, and the largest marsupial that ever lived in Australia. The archaeologists retrieved what turned out to be a hip bone as well as other smaller bones and took them to Melbourne for analysis. Planning for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;digâ&#x20AC;? started. Two weeks later, another cliff collapse revealed more of the creature â&#x20AC;&#x201C; part of a jawbone, teeth and a section of leg bone about half a metre long. The discovery has electrified the

palaeontology community as it is the most complete and best-preserved fossil of its kind found in Victoria. A near-complete skeleton was found on a remote cattle station near Burketown, Queensland, in 2011. These and other finds, including in Tasmania and King Island in Bass Strait, confirm the creature roamed far and wide in Australia. University of Tasmania zoology professor Chris Johnson told Radio Port Phillipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Environment Show last Thursday the diprotodon roamed the planet for about 2.5 million years before it became extinct in Australia between 40,000 and 50,000 years ago. Professor Johnson, one of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foremost experts on mammals both extinct and living, said the reason for the demise of the diprotodont and other megafauna was a hot topic. The two best theories were that hu-

mans had killed megafauna for food or they had disappeared due to climate change or a combination of both. A lot of megafauna had already been lost before indigenous people arrived in Australia. Megafauna from Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pleistocene era once roamed widely across the continent including the Mornington Peninsula, which would have been joined to Tasmania. The diprotodon â&#x20AC;&#x153;wombatâ&#x20AC;?, or zygomaturus, would have been seen on the plains of the southern peninsula, as would giant kangaroos, a goanna bigger than the living Komodo dragon, and a giant goose twice the size of an emu. The Sorrento discovery was revealed on a Melbourne radio station early last week. Palaeontologists had hoped to recover all of the diprotodon skeleton

before it became public knowledge. One thing working in their favour is the site is hard to access. Sections of the coastline are fenced to keep people away from crumbling cliff edges. David Thomas grew up on the back beaches of the peninsula from the age of 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d spend hours playing on the beach and running around the sand dunes,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Mr Thomas, 44, who manages Sorrento Golf Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pro shop, was pleased to be invited to Melbourne Museum recently to see the conservation work that had been carried out on the bones. Mr Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter has dubbed his find the Thomasaurus and it has inspired him to look for more fossils. He walked his friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog at Mt Martha this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go along a beach now without looking for fossils in the cliffs,â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh.

More storms lash region By Mike Hast STATE Emergency Service volunteers on the Mornington Peninsula are catching up on sleep after four wild and woolly weather days last week. Greater Melbourne including the peninsula was again battered by strong winds with some locations recording the strongest blow since 1985. The strongest wind gust of 143km/h was recorded at Fawkner Beacon, a weather station in Port Phillip west of Sandringham, the third strongest on record. The most ferocious wind swept through Melbourne in 1985, reaching speeds of 154km/h at Laverton. The second-strongest reached 147km/h at Essendon in 1948. Metropolitan Melbourne experienced four severe wind warnings in 10 days including last Tuesday and Wednesday. Peninsula SES crews worked four long days and nights to remove trees that had blocked major and minor roads as well as driveways. Damaged homes were protected with tarpaulins. Danielle de Natris of Hastings SES, one of three units in the region with Sorrento and Frankston, said volunteers were called to more than 60 jobs in Somerville, Hastings, Mornington and Mt Martha. She said many homes in Mornington and Somerville had been damaged by trees and branches. “Somerville was worst hit,” she said. “About two-thirds of calls were about trees that had been blown down, with the remainder reporting damage to buildings.” She said much of the damage was minor – “tin roofs lifting in the wind, fences blowing down and the like”. Volunteers had rushed from job to job to clear fallen trees on main roads such as Moorooduc

Highway and Jones Rd as well as help Bittern residents whose properties had been flooded. Ms de Natris said Hastings SES wanted to thank other emergency services that had assisted the unit, including other SES units as well as CFA and MFB crews. Controller Paul O’Donoghue said keeping lives and property safe was the service’s main concern. “It’s important to stay informed about your local situation and not depend on others to keep you aware,” he said. “If you require assistance, give us a call. If you know your neighbours are vulnerable, check on them if it’s safe to do so.” The peninsula escaped massive power blackouts, unlike parts of Melbourne where more than 90,000 homes lost supply at the peak of Tuesday’s storm, which had winds as powerful as a category one cyclone. The peninsula’s two SES units and the Frankston unit are always seeking volunteers. One resident who watched volunteers working on Wednesday night said the SES did a magnificent job. “They are our local heroes,” he said. “If anybody wants to dress in orange, go out in bad weather at all times day or night, and get paid absolutely nothing, this is the place for them.” For information and warnings, visit ses.vic. gov.au/warnings, twitter.com/vicseswarnings or Facebook.com/vicses or call the SES information line on 1300 842 737. For emergency assistance phone the SES on 132 500. In a life-threatening situation, call 000.

Festival week not fun for all By Keith Platt WHILE thousands of older people are out enjoying themselves at this week’s Victorian Seniors Festival, many others are sitting at home depressed. “Up to 30 per cent of people over 65 who are frail and require significant support to continue living in their homes are depressed,” beyondblue CEO Kate Carnell said. “This is double the prevalence rate of depression for people over 65 who live in the community without help.” Mornington Peninsula Shire has more than 42,000 aged over 60, the second highest of any Victorian municipality. CEO Michael Kennedy, in the shire’s latest annual report, says “supporting our elders in

being active, connected and independent is a high priority, with excellent results in three quality audits during the year confirming what we and our elders knew – we are delivering best practice in service delivery, with ongoing feedback being the basis for what we do and how we do it”. To help seniors at home, beyondblue is holding training courses for aged care staff “to understand depression and anxiety in older people, and ensure their clients get support”. Ms Carnell said case managers and community care staff who visit older people in their homes can have a big impact on the mental health of those for whom they care. “For a lot of people who don’t live with their family, this may be the most significant social relationship they have,” she said.

“Becoming increasingly depressed or anxious doesn’t have to go hand-in-hand with ageing. “There are effective treatments available for depression and anxiety, regardless of a person’s age. Someone just has to be on the ball enough to pick up on the signs to get older people the help they need.” Ms Carnell said mental health problems could be accompanied by such physical symptoms as headaches and muscle pains, feeling sick, rundown or tired all the time, churning gut, sleep problems, loss or change of appetite, and weight loss or gain. The beyondblue training, Understanding Depression and Anxiety in Older People in the Community, is provided in a three-hour workshop. For details call beyondblue on 9810 6100.

Unicycle Sam rides for the love of his sister ACTOR Samuel Johnson entertained shoppers in Main St, Mornington, on Thursday as part of his year-long quest to raise $1 million for cancer research and ride his unicycle 15,000 kilometres around Australia. Johnson is aiming to break the Guinness World Record for unicycling, currently held by an American who rode 14,686km across 48 states. Money raised will go to the Garvan Institute of Medical Research. Best known for his roles in Secret Life of Us, Crackerjack, Underbelly II and Rush – Johnson rode his unicycle on the footpath and road in front Bendigo Bank, catching the interest of passers-by and asking them to donate to his charitable foundation Love Your Sister. Johnson’s quest is to honour a promise he made to his sister Connie that he would help her raise awareness of breast cancer, raise a big pot of money and beat the unicycling world record. Connie has breast cancer that has spread to her lungs, liver, pelvis, spine and knee. “This time it’s terminal and she has a life expectancy of 6-12 months,”

Johnson has said. The Mornington connection is that Samuel and Connie attended Mornington Secondary College as teenagers. The school is raising $15,000 for Johnson’s charity, matching dollars to kilometres. Fundraising events have included a swimathon, sausage sizzles and cake stalls. Johnson left Federation Square in Melbourne in February, accompanied by the college’s 40-strong Police Youth Drum Corps and watched by 350 Mornington students. He hopes to reach his twin targets by the end of the year. So far he has cycled 10,200 kilometres and raised almost $800,000. Connie Johnson has faced cancer twice before. The 35-year-old mother of two boys had a bone tumour in her leg at age 11, which was halted by chemotherapy, and had a tumour in her womb at age 22. Johnson has unicycle “form”. He rode from Sydney to Melbourne in 2003 and raised $500,000 for the children’s cancer charity Canteen, which had helped Connie in her early years. He has been riding for up to eight

hours a day, a physically taxing task. “It’s been extremely painful and painfully extreme,” he told one of his supporters. “But I won’t be enduring half of what my sister is going through.” He wants to remind every Australian

woman about the need to be “breast aware”, to promote early detection and improve survival rates. In Main St on Thursday, Johnson’s appearance was supported by the bank, Rotary Club of Mornington sizzling sausages and about 20

members of the drum corps. To follow Johnson’s epic journey or donate to the cause, visit www. loveyoursister.org His Facebook page is at www. facebook.com/loveyoursister Mike Hast

No access to asset values By Keith Platt MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has more than $2 billion worth of assets, but the value of individual blocks of land and buildings is being kept hidden from ratepayers. Councillors seem unclear about the situation, although they have access to the value of individual properties managed by the shire. Melbourne City Council last month published a list of its most valuable assets, but the shire has no plans to do the same. Just one of the shire’s 11 councillors favours providing individual values of council-owned properties to the public. “Speaking for myself and not for council, I think it [releasing property valuations] an excellent idea,” Cr Hugh Fraser has told The News. “Given the extent and nature of council assets and the need to keep commercial information confidential, I doubt that a greater degree of detail could be achieved than recently achieved by the Melbourne City Council, which listed its most valuable property holdings. “Even that degree of detail would enable a better appreciation and evaluation by councillors and the community as to whether council resources are being, and will continue to be, efficiently used for the benefit of the Mornington Peninsula community.” Cr Fraser said legislative requirements governed the sale of council-owned properties, including public notices. His colleagues were less forthcoming when emailed questions on Sunday 22 September about publicly listing the values of council assets. Two out of the 10 councillors – David Gibb and Frank Martin – replied almost instantly, with an automatically sent “out of office” reply as both were on leave. Cr Anne Shaw responded 10 days later, saying the “protocol for response to emails addressed to all councillors is that one response comes via the

Council property values kept secret from ratepayers mayor”. No response had been received from the mayor, Cr Lynn Bowden, by deadline on Friday, although The News had also left two messages on her phone. When contacted by phone, Cr Bev Colomb said council officers had told her that the register of council-owned properties was very large, but was available for viewing by the public. She had also been told that “things were more complex down here [than in the City of Melbourne]”. Cr David Garnock said he had referred the questions about releasing the value of councilowned properties to council officers “for guidance”. He wanted to find out what ramifications could result from releasing such information to the public. The officers told him that as the same questions had been put to other councillors they would “put together a response”. “I can’t see what the issue would be, other than people looking [at the valuations] and making their own assertions about whether something is too high or too low,” Cr Garnock said. “I don’t know if it’s a good idea or not. There’s been no chance for us to discuss this in council.” Cr Garnock said council may have to sell property if it decided to go ahead with the $30 million plus SPA (Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre) project in Rosebud. The amount of money needing to be raised would depend on government

grants and the shire’s level of debt. “There could be sensitivity about that and we wouldn’t want to give the game away as to what we might want to sell off,” he said. Cr Garnock said he would discuss the disclosure of council-owned property values with his colleagues. “I can easily put it on the agenda.” Cr Tim Rodgers last Wednesday offered to “have a think about it and get back to you real soon”. Cr Graham Pittock said councillors had been told that a register of council properties and their values was available to the public. “If they give two days’ notice they can get the entire list of council-owned properties,” he said. After a series of emails, the shire eventually said the public could access a register of council properties, but not their individual values. Sustainable organisation director Marilyn Kearney said the total value of property and other assets were “disclosed” in the shire’s annual report. “Publication of any details in future annual reports beyond that already provided would require determination by the council,” Ms Kearney said. “However, details of council-owned property, including valuations, are available to councillors at any time upon request.” Ms Kearney later said the asset register “is available for inspection showing each property’s title details and the valuation of all properties in total”. Property and valuations manager Yasmin Woods said: “Information relating to councilowned properties is provided, as prescribed in Part 5 of the Local Government (General) Regulations 2004. This information includes only those details regarding property, finance and operating leases for land, buildings, plant, computer equipment or vehicles.” Requests to inspect the assets register can be made by calling 5950 1160.

ISSUES faced by the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (GLBTIQ) community is the focus of Peninsula Proud 2013, a free community event to be held by Peninsula Health on Saturday 19 October at Safety Beach Sailing Club. Former Victorian Health Services commissioner Beth Wilson will use hypothetical scenarios to explore real life issues with a panel of six people of all ages who have dealt with diverse GLBTIQ-related issues. Audience members will be able to take part in the discussion, ask questions, and share their experiences. Family and friends are welcome. Information will be available from GLBTIQrelated services for health, wellbeing, youth and family, bisexual and transgender issues, gamblers, legal assistance, and people with disabilities. Musicians from Headspace Frankston’s Peninsula Pride Queer Straight Alliance will entertain. “The first Peninsula Proud event last year was such a success that it is now a fixture in Peninsula Health’s community calendar,” GLBTIQ community advisory group chair Bronwyn Lawman said. “This year’s new approach will enable everyone to join in the discussion on how we can all work together to break down barriers, improve inclusion, and build pride.” Peninsula Proud is organised by Peninsula Health’s GLBTIQ community advisory group, which works with health care professionals to provide health care for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer people. Peninsula Proud is financed by Mornington Peninsula and Frankston councils and managed by Peninsula Health. Peninsula Proud, 1-4pm Saturday 19 October at Safety Beach Sailing Club, Marine Drive, Safety Beach. Details: 9784 8350 or aliciajames@phcn.vic.gov.au

Control the temperature in your home

Into the sea: Stony Creek at Shoreham is one of the waterways that could benefit from the state government’s Waterway Management Strategy. Picture: Keith Platt

Chilled to the core in winter? Scorched like an almond in summer? Is the cost of maintaining your home climate going through the windows? Heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer can become a thing of the past. Don’t let the cost of living rise from poor window ventilation - get with the trend and install thermal-lined drapes, blinds and pelmets now! The cost of window coverings is directly related to the heating and cooling of your home. Investing in curtains, blinds, and pelmets is proven to reduce peak loading of heating and cooling at the height of each season. Heat created by direct sunlight is significantly reduced when window coverings are installed to trap a stagnant layer of air, and prevent ventilation openings from allowing moderated air to escape. According to the Australian Guide to Environmentally Sustainable Homes manuscript, thermal-lined drapes with pelmets reduce heat loss and gain by as much as 53% versus uncovered windows.

New waterways strategy By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has welcomed the launch of Victoria’s new Waterway Management Strategy, which sets out an eight-year plan to improve the environmental management of waterways and encourages a partnership approach between government and communities. Water Minister Peter Walsh said the implementation of the strategy followed “extensive stakeholder input during the development process” and gave communities the opportunity to have their say about the future management of waterways and “help set the priorities that guide government investment”. “Keeping our waterways healthy is a shared responsibility. This new strategy encourages a partnership approach between government and communities.” The shire’s renewable resources manager, So-

phia Schyschow, said the strategy aligned with the Mornington Peninsula’s Smart Water Plan, which was currently on exhibition. “The shire’s draft Smart Water Plan is on public exhibition for a further three weeks and reflects a ‘whole of water cycle’ approach to sustainable water management across the peninsula. “Mornington Peninsula residents are encouraged to contribute to both documents and the shire looks forward to continuing to work with the community in protecting and enhancing our precious water resources.” Victorians can submit pictures of themselves enjoying waterways via Instagram for a chance to win a $1000 houseboat trip on the Murray River.

11 Weeks ‘Sustainable’ shire’s to Christmas! $11 billion economy

By Keith Platt TOURISM is the peninsula’s biggest money spinner, says Mornington Peninsula Shire chief executive Michael Kennedy. In a foreword to the shire’s 2012-13 annual report, Dr Kennedy said the municipality had a $11 billion economy, which included tourism ($1 billion a year); manufacturing ($800 million); agriculture ($600 million); the “marine sector” ($200 million); and the equine industry ($150 million). The report valued the shire’s total assets at $2 billion with liabilities of $81.2 million, a net increase in the past year of $57.1 million. There is no breakdown of the value of individual properties. Most of the increase was due to the “capitalisation of land and building assets and a revaluation of infrastructure assets”. The CEO said the shire “is not and does not want to be a growth municipality”. “The shire is working with the state government in planning a future that preserves our highly valued green wedge and our local towns and villages, providing the amenity our residents love...” He said council had adopted the interim Green Wedge Management Plan in September 2012 “which will be reviewed in the coming 12 months in the context of new planning zones and changes to state level strategy during this period”. “As plans are developed to guide metropolitan Melbourne’s growth from its current population of four million to six million by the early 2030s, the shire’s challenge is to continue to be ‘near to but not part of Melbourne and its accelerating growth’.” While the shire was in a comfortable financial position – “sustainable” and delivering “responsive services” and “taking every opportunity to be innovative” – the CEO cautioned that the report’s financial statements were “not easy for non-accountants to understand, and may lead readers to

overestimate our overall financial position”. “The audited year end result in the financial statements shows a net surplus on ordinary operations of $16.141 million, compared to last year which was a surplus of $4.107 million. These are not our ‘profits or losses’ for the year, in the usual meaning those terms. “This year’s surplus includes $10.369 million of contributed assets, which is effectively a transfer of assets to the shire. They are in fact infrastructure assets that (now and into the future) will require us to expend funds to maintain them.” The CEO said there had been “unders and overs” in different parts of the shire organisation, “which were the result of our responding to particular demands and circumstances as the need arose; ‘Funds available’ (being the surplus on recurring operations) was [an] unfavourable $4.357 million”. However, savings had been made through the shire’s new maintenance contract, keeping close to budget on more than 250 capital projects “with no project failures or significant cost overruns”. He said management costs were “lower as a percentage of the shire budget than they were 10 years ago” and “in terms of 2012-13’s operating performance, we achieved an underlying surplus of 3.12 per cent”. “Despite these challenges and after allowing sufficient cash to complete capital works carried forward from the previous year, and receipt of government grants for 2013-14 but paid to council in 2012-13, we achieved a surplus result compared to budget of $2.425 million. “The most important message to take from the accounts, which after allowing for the variations described above, achieved by our continued improvement in organisational efficiency and productivity, is that we made budget.” The annual report is on the shire’s website at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au

More help at hand for special needs children By Chris Brennan TWO Mornington Peninsula early childhood intervention providers will be able to offer more families placements after winning additional funding from the state government last week. Biala Peninsula and Noahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ark were among 20 service providers across the state to be allocated a share of 500 additional Early Childhood Intervention Services places to assist children with a disability or developmental delay. The additional places take to 1150 the total number of funded ECIS allocations now available under a $34 million state government commitment that was outlined in the 2013-14 state budget. Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development Wendy Lovell said the additional places, each worth $7533, would give hundreds more children the best chance to become engaged and active participants in school, community and family life. She said organisations such as Biala Peninsula, which is based in Mornington, and Noahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ark, which has centres across Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s south including Frankston and the peninsula, were providing an invaluable service in supporting some of the most vulnerable members of the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is fantastic news for hundreds of young children who need extra support to reach their potential in the years before school,â&#x20AC;? Ms Lovell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through activities such as home visits, ECIS

Extra support: Biala Peninsula can now provide even more assistance to the families of children with a disability or developmental delay after being granted additional Early Childhood Intervention Services funding.

places also build the capacity of parents and family members to respond to their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs.â&#x20AC;? The specialised services provided through ECIS programs are tailored to the individual learning and development needs of each child and delivered in a way to supports the specific circumstances of each childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. Biala Peninsula CEO Marlene Fox welcomed news of the additional ECIS funding and said the families of children with a disability or developmental delay currently faced long waits to access the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really pleased to be able to offer additional families placements with us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we would have liked more and certainly could have provided more, but at least thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be eight families whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be off the waiting list and their children placed with us,â&#x20AC;? Ms Fox said. She said there were currently more than 400 families on waiting lists to access ECIS services in the southern metropolitan region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We currently have 117 funded places and we have 117 children in those placements at all times but we wish we could provide more. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m continually getting phone calls from families wanting to access our programs and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long wait. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be offering these new placements first thing Monday morning and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have families in the program within a fortnight; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our commitment. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re determined that families donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to wait any longer than they have to.â&#x20AC;? Mornington MP David Morris also welcomed news of the additonal places. He said the Mornington Peninsula-Frankston region had received an additional 34 places in total. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful to see such a range of services in our region receiving funding after being assessed on best practice.â&#x20AC;?

Dromana rubbish tip plan dead Poachers caught By Mike Hast THE controversial Dromana quarry tip plan is dead. Quarry owners R E Ross Trust will officially announce on Tuesday it will not appeal the Environment Protection Authority’s refusal to grant a permit, which was handed down last month. The decision brings to an end one of the most controversial and hated proposals on the southern peninsula for many years. A government source told The News that Ross Trust chairman Ian Vaughan would announce the decision on Tuesday night at a meeting of Peninsula Waste Management’s community reference group. Ross Trust owns PWM as well as Hillview Quarries in Dromana. The decision will be greeted with acclaim by more than 22,000 people who have signed petitions as well as main objector group Peninsula Preservation Group, formed specifically to oppose the tip earlier this year. The decision is a blow to Mornington Peninsula Region Waste Management Group, of which Mornington Peninsula Shire is the sole member, as it had earmarked the quarry (pictured) as the next rubbish tip for the peninsula with the existing Rye landfill rapidly filling. The EPA on Friday 13 September knocked back the application for the rubbish tip, or landfill, in the old Pioneer quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment at Dromana. The proponent had 21 days to say if it was challenging the EPA’s decision in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Peninsula Waste Management wanted to dump up to 150,000 tonnes of municipal waste a year for up to 20 years in the old quarry. Less than a third would have come from peninsula residents with the balance from other municipalities.

Last month the EPA said the proposal did not comply with “threshold issues around groundwater, construction design and management”. The proposal generated massive opposition on the peninsula and the formation of high-powered lobby group PPG whose members included successful business people, lawyers, scientists, doctors and teachers. PPG members had been working behind the scenes since February including lobbying state government ministers. One of the more obvious signs of opposition was the large number of placards placed on fences and nature strips of private properties in Dromana, Red Hill and Arthurs Seat as well as further afield. Opposition to the tip gathered momentum in June when more than 500 people packed Dromana Hall for the first public meeting of PPG. Many had heard little detail of the plan and were appalled. More than 1000 protesters formed a hu-

man sign reading “No tip” at a Dromana reserve near the quarry in August. That same month more than 450 objectors signed up to attend an EPA conference to hear PPG members grill PWM, its consultants and members of the Ross Trust. EPA boss John Merritt said it was the biggest conference the agency had run. The EPA was aware of the “community angst” and had received 900 submissions, most against the tip, he said. Any likelihood of the tip going ahead faded late last month when the state government released two draft plans for waste recovery that move away from landfills and toward building waste recovery and sorting hubs. The government in August said it would reduce the state’s waste management groups from 12 to six, and force Mornington Peninsula Region Waste Management Group to join the Metropolitan Waste Management Group, which has no plans to open more tips.

By Chris Brennan THREE men have been convicted and fined for taking double the bag limit of abalone, concealing part of their catch and providing false information to fisheries officers following an extensive surveillance operation on the Mornington Peninsula. The men, from Melbourne’s outer southeast, were fined a total of $8000 after pleading guilty in Frankston Magistrates’ Court late last month. The court was told the men were detected by fisheries officers taking double their legal entitlement of abalone at Rye and Sorrento in March. Fisheries officers taking part in Operation Molten observed the trio taking a quantity of abalone from waters off Rye, which they placed in a bag and later concealed in bushland at Boneo. The same men, who were travelling in two cars, were then seen taking more abalone at Sorrento. After leaving Sorrento, they returned to Boneo and retrieved the hidden bag. They were then intercepted by fisheries officers, who found 30 abalone in the two cars, double the legal limit of five abalone a person per day. After being arrested and taken to Springvale police station, the men gave false and misleading information while being interviewed, the court was told. One man was fined $2000, had his vehicle and all other equipment seized and was banned from fishing for abalone for 10 years. The other two men were fined $3000 each and prohibited from fishing for abalone for 12 months, as well as forfeiting their equipment. Fisheries officer Rod Barber said daily catch limits were in place to protect abalone stocks and ignoring limits threatened the sustainability of the fishery, worth about $70 million a year. He said fishers who ignored the limits and provided false information to fisheries officers could expect significant penalties in the form of large fines, the forfeiture of vehicles and equipment, and lengthy fishing bans. Victoria is known as the abalone capital of the world, with about 80 per cent of the global catch going through Melbourne facilities. Abalone is about $50 a kilogram and is estimated about a third of the catch is through illegal means. The industry is regulated in Victoria, with 71 people holding licences, which allow them to harvest about 20 tonnes of abalone a year. There is a permanent ban on taking abalone from Port Phillip except for 60 open days of the year when bag limits apply.

A MALE driver was lucky to escape serious injury after his van veered out of control, hit a concrete light pole and rolled several times before landing on the wrong side of the Nepean Hwy at Mornington during peak hour traffic last Wednesday afternoon. The crash occurred about 5.30pm near the corner of Green Island Ave when the driver, aged in his 30s, lost control of the Mitsubishi light commercial work van he was driving south along the highway. The man walked away from the crash with only minor scratches and bruising. He was treated at the crash site by ambulance paramedics but did not require further attention. He was later questioned by police and may be charged with careless driving and other undisclosed driving offences. Picture: Yanni

By Chris Brennan PENINSULA police have vowed to come down hard on speeding drivers over the next four weeks after revealing October was the deadliest month on Victoria’s roads. Police and highway patrol units will be out in force on peninsula roads during the month to conduct a number of operations targeting road trauma, speed, impaired driving and hoon behaviour. Last year, 34 people were killed on the state’s roads in October, double the monthly average of 17. Over the past three years, an average of 30 people have died on Victorian roads during October. In total, 205 people died on Victoria’s roads during 2012, while a similar number is expected this year, with 176 fatalities recorded so far. Senior Seargent Karen Nyholm of Hastings police said evidence showed speeding was the single greatest cause of collisions and road trauma on Victoria roads and that for every 5km/h over

the limit a vehicle is driven in a 60 km/h zone, the chance of collision doubles. “On average, we suffer nearly 100 deaths and more than 1700 serious injuries per year directly attributable to speed,” Senior Seargent Nyholm said. She said drivers needed to be aware of variable weather conditions, particularly rain and high winds, and adjust their driving habits accordingly. “Many factors need to be considered on top of the signed speed limits,” she said. “The wild weather we have been experiencing adds an additional risk factor to motorists. Roads with water coverage and debris from trees require drivers to take added care.” With school returning this week after the spring holiday break “parents need to adjust their leaving times to get to school safely – not in a mad dash. Drivers should continually assess conditions and slow their speed as the risks increase.”

Veterans Affairs Welcome Hastings Family Dental Care invites you to come and see us! ORAL HEALTH TIPS The Australian Dental Association have provided a checklist of general quidelines to help you look after your mouth and make sure you’re doing everything you can at home to ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy and strong. By following these simple steps you can significantly reduce the chance of mouth problems later in life.

Visit your dentist

Fluoride rinses and gels You might also want to ask about fluoride rinses or gels as the regular use of fluoride strengthens your teeth against cavities. As you get older you are more likely to get cavities where old fillings have chipped or where root surfaces are left unprotected by receding gums. Fluoride will help.

If you can, regular visits (at least once a year) can highlight and treat any problems that are developing, catching them in their early stages. Also alert your dentist to any changes in your medication and ask him or her to perform a routine oral cancer screening at your next visit. You can also get your teeth thoroughly cleaned to remove tartar and plaque. Prevention is always better (and cheaper) than cure.

Snack in moderation

Brush twice every day

Dry Mouth

Brush gently with a soft toothbrush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. Use small circular motions and short back and forth strokes. Take the time to brush carefully and gently along the gum line. Lightly brush your tongue or use a tongue cleaner as bacteria can thrive here, too.

Floss once a day Floss once a day to remove plaque and leftover food from between the teeth that a toothbrush can’t reach. Make sure you rinse thoroughly after flossing. If you have never flossed before, ask your dentist to show you the correct way to do it. If brushing or flossing makes your gums bleed or hurts your mouth, see your dentist. Interdental brushes can be used instead of floss to clean between your teeth.

Three meals a day and two snacks is sufficient for nutritional needs. Avoid snacks with sugars and starches and sugary drinks. If you do snack between meals rinse with water afterwards.

Quit Smoking Smoking increases your risk of developing gum disease and oral cancer. Saliva plays an essential role in preventing tooth decay by rinsing away food particles and neutralising harmful acids. Dry mouth comes with age but can also be caused by medications like antihistmines, decongestants, antidepressants and diuretics. This can often often be diagnosed by a dentist and a suitable saliva replacement can be recommended. A simple remedy you could try is a small object (for example lemon rind or an olive pit) held in the mouth to stimulate saliva. It may help to do this or chew sugarless gum before and after eating.

Eat a healthy balanced diet Avoid sweet sugary drinks and snacks and choose from a wide variety of food groups. See more information and links in the Diet section.

Romantic, beautiful and perfect DISCOVER a world of magic and family luxury on about 1500 square metres, sympathetically renovated from the ground up and seamlessly extended. This lovely home was built in the 1950s and is a classic example of a country house. It’s a warm and inviting family home where light pours through large windows and a fire crackles in the feature fireplace in the formal lounge, showcasing exquisite attention to detail throughout the home. Family spaces embrace the full beauty and leisure potential of the property with the living room opening onto a decked covered entertaining area with a mature ash tree enveloping the rear of the property, creating an indoor-outdoor flow that is wonderful for entertaining all year round. A stunning kitchen featuring stainless-steel appliances with plenty of cupboard space and an island bench is adjacent to the dining area, making it perfect for entertaining guests and big family dinners. The home has four bedrooms with built-in robes, a family bathroom plus a powder room. The master bedroom with its large built-in robes has a separate study that could be converted to a spacious ensuite. There is a large shed (eight squares) and workshop at the rear of the property. Additional features include 9ft ceilings, timber floors, ornate cornices, and evaporative cooling and hydronic heating throughout the home.

Ken Brown does it again! Our senior sales executive Ken Brown has recently re-qualified for his full estate agents license. Ken is the only person we know of who has had two completely separate real estate careers almost 20 years apart. Originally commencing in the real estate business in the Frankston area in the late 1970’s Ken went on to complete the old qualification of Real Estate Management Certificate at Frankston TAFE in 1986 (the year our business commenced) before “giving the game away” to go farming in Gippsland and then returning to the Peninsula 3 years ago to take up the tools once more and complete the new Certificate IV in real estate services through the Investment Banking Institute of Australia so he is fully up to date with the legal and ethical framework of today's property market. Prior to his first time in real estate Ken served as a musician in the Royal Australian Navy and also spent some years with Victoria Police and has now resumed his career in the property industry with great success. A proud father and grandfather with a large extended family residing in the district, he has a long list of satisfied clients and looks forward to completing many more stress free transactions in the future. If you are thinking of selling a rural or lifestyle property, a house and land package, your own home, a block of land or an investment property Ken has the maturity and knowledge to make your transaction run smoothly.

Do you or does anyone you know suffer from

Late-Stage Emphysema? Emphysema is a chronic and progressive lung disease that causes difďŹ culty breathing. Are you currently experiencing any of the following symptoms?

Seniors Week Emerging treatment for severe emphysema EMPHYSEMA is a chronic lung disease that causes shortness of breath and is often classified as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, also known as COPD. In people with emphysema, the lung tissue involved with the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) is impaired or destroyed. This may result in a reduction of lung elasticity and gas trapped in the affected sections of the lung. This trapped air can cause the lung to enlarge (hyperinflate) and take up more space in the chest, leading to poor breathing mechanics, less functional lung volume and shortness of breath. Typically, various approaches to treatment include various bronchodilating and/or steroid medications, pulmonary rehabilitation and oxygen therapy. Endobronchial valve (EBV) treatment is an

emerging technique that works to reduce the damaged or hyperinflated section of the lung by collapsing the affected area via placement of a one-way valve in the lung segment. Reducing the damaged section of the lung can provide more space within the chest for the healthier sections of the lung to inflate and take part in gas exchange. EBV treatment is a minimally invasive procedure referred to as endoscopic lung volume reduction. The procedure takes about 30 minutes. Evidence suggests that endoscopic lung volume reduction is associated with improvement in lung function, exercise tolerance and quality of life. The procedure is currently carried out at leading hospitals around the world, with treatment centres operating in all main states of Australia.

Raingarden scheme takes root

Equipment for volunteers

By Chris Brennan THE commitment of Mornington Peninsula households to reducing stormwater run-off through Melbourne Water’s 10,000 Raingarden Program has won widespread praise after the success of a pilot program in Mt Martha. Residents have been working with Melbourne Water, Mornington Peninsula Shire and Balcombe Estuary Rehabilitation Group to build 396 raingardens to help filter stormwater before it enters Port Phillip. Raingardens look like a normal garden but consist of sandy layers that help filter and slow stormwater from hard surfaces such as roofs and roads before it flows into rivers, creeks and ultimately Port Phillip. As part of a pilot program, 156 downpipe diverters have been funded by Melbourne Water and installed at Mt Martha properties. Diverters are the simplest form of raingarden, redirecting stormwater to where it is needed in the garden and preventing it from entering waterways. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s renewable resources manager Sophia Schyschow said that, following the success of the Mt Martha pilot, the shire was offering remaining stocks of downpipe diverters to residents across the peninsula. “The shire has an ongoing commitment to sustainable water management and is pleased to be working with Melbourne Water to pilot a range of innovative approaches integrated stormwater management,” she said. “Stormwater can impact on the health of our creeks, affecting flows

MT Martha volunteer emergency services organisations will receive funding of more than $85,000 to upgrade equipment through the state government’s Volunteer Emergency Services Equipment Program. Mt Martha CFA will receive $29,825 to finance new motorised engine bay doors, and Mt Martha Life Saving Club will receive $55,595 for life-saving equipment and a club lift. Mornington MP David Morris said the state government was committed to supporting volunteer emergency services with the resources needed to protect the community. “I am very pleased Mt Martha CFA and the life saving club have received these grants, which assist in a practical way to enhance their emergency response capability,” he said. “The VESEP is a partnership between the government and communities that allows emergency services volunteers to purchase equipment that will support the ongoing protection and safety of all Victorians.” Since 2012, VESEP has provided $35.78 million through 757 grants to volunteer emergency service organisations in the state. This year the state government has provided a record 300 grants to different organisations through VESEP. “Volunteers are an essential part of any emergency response. Without the support of volunteers we would not be able to respond effectively to emergencies such as floods, storms, bushfires and road accidents.”

and carrying pollutants into Port Phillip. There are lots of things we can all do to protect our waterways and the downpipe diverters are a simple option that make a big difference. “Residents interested in the program can contact the shire to make an appointment for officers to meet them and discuss if the diverters will be suitable for their homes.” The 10,000 Raingarden program project leader Keysha Milenkovic said the efforts of the Mt Martha community had helped to significantly ease the amount of stormwater entering Balcombe Estuary and Port Phillip. “We congratulate everyone who built a raingarden or installed a downpipe diverter, and encourage more people to do the same,” she said. “Stormwater pollution is one of the biggest threats to waterways. Each year about 500 billion litres is washed off Melbourne’s roofs, driveways and roads, causing harmful pollutants to enter waterways. “Within Mornington Peninsula Shire, we’ve had a very successful and cooperative approach, which makes a huge difference to the health of the environment.” Mornington MP David Morris praised the raingardens program and said the state government was committed to helping communities make greater use and reuse of all sources of water, including stormwater, rainwater and waste water. “As well as taking pressure off our precious drinking water supplies, adopting whole-of-water-cycle management has great environmental benefits,” he said.

Changing course: Downpipe diverters redirect stormwater to where it is needed in the garden and preventing it from entering waterways.

Briars Ward councillor Anne Shaw said the use of raingardens and watersensitive urban design was something the community would see much more of in the future. “The results will show in the health of our waterways and Port Phillip,” she said. Cr Bev Colomb said raingardens

were now an integral part of new council public works and encouraged more residents to get involved. For more on raingardens or details of how to build your own, visit www. melbournewater.com.au/raingardens To enquire about a downpipe diversion, call Mornington Peninsula Shire on 1300 850 600.

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NEW

Somervilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Norfolk Rise under construction THERE has been plenty of activity along Austin Rd in the past few months, with Somervilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest housing estate well under construction. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal approved the 86-home development at 28 Austin Rd in 2012, ending almost 12 months of speculation about the site. The $30 million site is one of the last remaining residentially zoned land holdings in the town. There have been several rumours about the developmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nature including an apartment block, retirement village and even a refugee community, but none of this is correct, said Buy Property Direct managing director David Brewster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Norfolk Rise aims to deliver affordable housing in a quality development that will only further enhance the Mornington Peninsula as the best place to live and invest,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Norfolk Rise is a quality residential development that services the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need for diverse and affordable housing, particularly as Australians make the shift to lowmaintenance villas and townhouses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be built in four stages, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sustainable development with a half-acre [0.2ha] of parkland surrounding a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom dwellings, all offering a sixstar energy rating, so there is something for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We specifically chose Somerville as it has been a consistent performer for growth over more than a decade, and this development satisfies every possible criteria in terms of location, capital growth and affordability.â&#x20AC;? Mr Brewster said the Mornington Peninsula contributed $11 billion to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy each year, and would continue to thrive with major infrastructure projects such as the recently completed Peninsula Link and proposed deep-sea port at Hastings, bringing jobs and prosperity to the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this long-term thinking, confidence and optimism in terms of planning that shows this is only the beginning for the peninsula,â&#x20AC;? Mr Brewster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Norfolk Rise will provide the ideal place for discerning buyers to call home as they share in the unique lifestyle that makes Somerville special. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The local marketplace has shown a strong appetite for the development, with downsizers and first home buyers embracing Norfolk Rise, with properties priced from $320,000.â&#x20AC;?

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

French Island to be annexed, tennis club in full swing Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 11 October 1913. FRENCH Island has the distinction of being the only piece of Victorian territory that is not under municipal control. Mr A. Downward, M.L.A., on Wednesday introduced a deputation to Mr Hagelthorn, Minister for Public Works, from the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, and also from the island itself, to discuss the question of annexing the island to the shire. Cr J. D. Hodgins, president of the shire, Mr J. L. Parkes, president, and Dr Plowman, secretary of the Westernport Progress Association, Mr J. Lindley, Mr W. H. Renwick and others were the speakers. The Minister was asked for £2000 to put the roads of the island in order as a condition of annexation, since the revenue from the handful of people there would be very small. He was also asked to extend one of the jetties and to try and facilitate the construction of the new channel at Hastings. Mr Hagelthorn, in reply, stated that the department would also draw up a scheme, apart from any grant, and he believed it would satisfy the councillors present that the island could be taken over without incurring any financial loss. *** THE local tennis club is in a prosperous way, according to the financial statement made on Wednesday night at the annual meeting. There is a credit balance of about £9 in hand. It was decided to proceed with the formation of a new court at once. Several donations have been received, and the sec-

retary (Cr R. Jackson) will be pleased to receive any further sums from patrons or admirers of the game. Mr G. Keast was re-elected president; Mrs Geo Griffeth and Messrs F. W. Roper and A. Unthank, vice-presidents. Mr Jackson was elected secretary and treasurer. There are nearly fifty members. It was decided to proceed with a tournament at once. Delegates were appointed to attend a meeting of the Peninsula Tennis Association. *** DR Guthrie, the famous Scottish preacher, on one occasion expressed his opinion of whisky in these words: “Whisky is good in its place. There is nothing in the world like whisky for preserving a man when he is dead, but it is one of the worst things in the world for preserving a man when he is living. If you want to keep a dead man, put him in whisky; if you want to kill a living man, put whisky in him.” And in his day Dr Guthrie spoke from a wide experience. *** BARGAINS were the order of the day at Mr W. White’s sale of household furniture at Mornington on Wednesday last. *** ALREADY a good number of furnished houses have been booked for the coming season at Mornington, several for long periods at good rentals. *** WE are pleased to state that Miss Jackson, daughter of the Rev. R. and Mrs Jackson, of Frankston, who has been confined to her bed for some

weeks with a severe attack of influenza, is now in a fair way towards recovery, and is able to leave her room.

“There is nothing in the world like whisky for preserving a man when he is dead, but it is one of the worst things in the world for preserving a man when he is living.”

*** THE building trade at Mornington is still very brisk. A couple more houses are going up in the “old home” paddock and at “Bendigo by the Sea,” also a five-roomed cottage is being built in Albert Street by Mr A. Clarke, for Mr A. Beattie. *** AT the last meeting of the Beachdale Progress Association, greetings were given from the Westernport Association by Cr Plowman, from the Langwarrin Association, by Cr Oates, and

Moorooduc Association sent theirs along. Where was Frankston? *** THE Frankston Choral Society regret that they have recently lost a number of their members, who have left the district. Miss Annie Brody will be greatly missed by the members and also the public, as her reciting was always very much appreciated at the Choral concerts. *** THE Frankston Choral and Orchestral Society gave a very successful concert to the hall committee at Somerville recently, and were invited on that occasion to repeat the concert. On Saturday, October 18th, the Society intend giving a better programme in aid of their own funds. *** MR. John McGowan, the promising young baritone singer who has several times appeared successfully in Frankston, on Wednesday evening, 1st inst., we note from the Melbourne daily papers, gave a recital in the Masonic Hall, Collins Street, Melbourne, to a crowded audience. The Melbourne press speak in a flattering manner of Mr McGowan’s splendid singing. *** THE general entries for the V.R.C. Cup Meeting are to hand. A total of 1049 entries have been received. Both Zephuron and Lord Emms have been nominated for the Cup Steeplechase of 500 sovs, also the Victorian Steeplechase of 500 sovs. Zephuron has been spelling since his Bendigo victory, and Lord Emms is busy training in Frankston. With a start both horses

will be hard to beat over the Flemington stiff fences. *** THE monthly meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers is to be held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Monday night next. The election of show committee is to take place. *** THERE was a large attendance to hear Mr Jennings, of the People’s Liberal Party, speak on Tuesday night. The president of the local branch (Mr W. Martin) occupied the chair. A few musical items were rendered during the evening:- Miss Ruby Griffeth, overture; Miss Twyford, song; Mr Reed, song. *** THE hon sec (Mrs M. R. Deans) on behalf of the Ladies’ Committee for the official opening of the Melbourne Boys’ Home at Frankston, begs to thank the following ladies and Rev Dr Marshal, Scot’s Church, Collins Street, for their generous donations of cakes, milk, etc., towards the afternoon tea on the 4th October:Lady Madden, Mrs (Dr) Maxwell, The Matron Boys’ Home, Mesdames W. H. O’Grady, Deane, Jacobs, D. H. Chandler, Pownell, Lane, Bray, Reeves, Coxall, Heffernan, Cunningham, Misses Masterton, N. Williams and Stagmeyer; for donations in cash, amounting to £1 16s 6d, from Misses Wride, Ritchie, Chrisp, Mesdames W. H. O’Grady, T. Ritchie, W. Deane, Utber, Jolly, Chamberlin, Mason, Dalman, Barclay, Hay, Mytton, Pratt, Gilliard, Fisher, and Coulcher, and Mrs Hay, Frankston House, for glassware and crockery.

The meaning of existence (and other short stories)

Great thunderboxes of the new millennium

By Stuart McCullough YOU can tell if society is civilised by a great many things – its music, art and whether it can sustain a viable roller-derby competition. You can also glean much from the things a community builds – temples, halls and so on. But the true character of a city is revealed not in its grand designs, its monuments or skyscrapers. You need to look closer to ground level. If you really want to understand a society, look at its toilets. It’s true that such things should never be raised in polite discussion. Indeed, it’s no accident that we have developed all manner of euphemisms for describing this most basic of human functions. From “powdering your nose” through to the ever-cryptic “seeing a man about a horse”, we are programmed from childhood to avoid declaring that we have heard nature call and intend to answer it. I, for one, am not afraid to say that I’m a firm believer in high-quality public facilities. Truth be told, it was on being handed a shovel and the instruction to “find somewhere quiet” when camping as a child that permanently put me off the outdoors. To its credit, Frankston not only has a high-quality public convenience, but also it is called a “comfort station”. Now that’s civilised. But a dark cloud has descended across our suburbs and towns, casting its ominous shadow over our communal outhouses and threatening the universal right to take a tinkle at short notice. These monuments to civility have become a target of anti-social behaviour far beyond bad graffiti that makes the bold but unlikely promise of “For a good time cal….”. Vandalism and worse has resulted in the closure of many of these national treasures. Before long, we’ll be lucky if there are any left. It was Saturday morning and we were heading from one “open for inspection” to the next. I’d been for a run and had drunk plenty of water to avoid dehydration. There are many rules when looking at other people’s homes; chief among them being that you must never utilise the facilities during an open for inspection. Trust me – it’s something I learned the hard way. When the sweet siren call of nature began to whisper in my ear, my mind immediately sprang into action, before swiftly pulling a hamstring and retiring “hurt”. I considered stopping at a well-known chain of fast food restaurants for what is known throughout the civilised world as a “McSlash” but decided to take the high moral ground. Besides, I’ve grown tired of purchasing a small order of French fries when all I really want to do is visit Fonzie’s office. As we drove on, I saw it. An expanse of green

appeared over the horizon as we came upon a park. But as I gazed out on the rolling hills and trees, my heart sank. For this park did not have a discreet brick structure tucked away in a quiet corner. Instead, the locals had installed space toilets from the future. It was a gleaming metal box; like something you’d expect if Doctor Who decided to “pimp his ride”. For years, I have avoided these contraptions for fear that they might malfunction. I approached it slowly and with caution. As I got closer, a flashing green light suggested it was ready for its next victim. On the outside was a long list of instructions and, suddenly, not quite my greatest fear was realised. What if I couldn’t figure out how to get in? Without my reading glasses, the instructions may as well have been in Esperanto. Starting to panic, I was reduced to pushing various buttons and whole panels at random before curling my fists and banging on the outside. Miraculously, the door slid open. But getting inside was one thing. Getting the door to close was another entirely. After a few panicked minutes, I found another button and was entombed. Without warning, the same voice that tells me that the 7.36 express to the city is now departing platform 2 told me that I had 10 minutes to do what I came for before unspecified consequences would be visited upon me. I assumed the worst – the door would spring open and a tactical response team, weapons drawn, would be waiting for me. Then, as though sensing my extraordinary level of anxiety, the soothing sounds of Burt Bacharach were piped into the room. As sentiments go, I wholly agree with Burt that what the world needs now is love, sweet love, but I’m not sure that I need to hear about it when using a public lavatory. Lucky for me, I was done before my 10 minutes was up. As I exited the metal box and returned to the sunlight, I wondered how things have reached a point where something as simple as a public convenience needs a level of security to rival your local bank. If you can indeed judge a town by its facilities, I don’t know what a “Discomfort Station” says about us. On the one hand, it’s cold and impersonal. On the other, it looks like it could withstand a nuclear bomb blast. Perhaps I’m being too nostalgic. I should move on. From this day forth, I will embrace technology. For when it comes to spending a penny, I have seen the future and it’s shiny, sleek and comes with a soundtrack by Burt Bacharach. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Conti aims to inspire THE annual art show at the Continental Hotel in Sorrento attracts statewide interest with works from 130 artists displayed last year. In 2000, hotel co-owner Rick Di Pietro and southern peninsula-based painter John Baird reckoned that they could add colour to the bistro’s large limestone walls by hanging some art. The idea turned into a small competition attracting entries from about 30 regional artists. The show was well received and steadily built in popularity. The current exhibition showcases eight peninsula artists. “When artists enter the competition, they are joining our annual artist pool,” exhibition curator Stahle Spencer said. The hotel’s gallery space now presents three separate exhibitions each year. Some are themed, challenging entrants to step outside their comfort zones. Competing works are displayed and winners

are announced on opening night as artists mingle with their peers, family and friends to discuss each other’s works. This year’s head judge Gabe North will be assisted by Donna Magree. First prize is $1500. The $500 Linda Gebar Encouragement Award was introduced to help inspire up and coming artists. A one-off additional prize, for the best abstract or semi-abstract work, is an autographed book by German artist Albert Oehlen, donated by Paul Whattie of Rosebud Book Barn. All are welcome at opening night and award announcement on Sunday 17 November. Wine will be supplied by Ciccone Wines. Entered artworks must be delivered to the hotel between 11am-2pm on 27 October. Contact Stahle Spencer on 5984 2201 or email sspencerconti@gmail.com for details.

Prize picture: ‘Pilot’s Workshop Queenscliff’ by Bridgit Thomas won the Conti Art Prize last year.

Search for talent hotel manager James Tuff said. Audience reaction will be measured by in-house text messaging on the night. The show will run from 9-11.30pm with three judges and will be hosted by Pearl magazine publisher Simon Mills. An after-party will follow. Limited pre-sales tickets are $10 each, door sales are $20 a ticket. Call Rosebud Hotel on 5986 1688 or email james@rosebudhotel.com.au for full details.

ROSEBUD Hotel is searching for the best regional performers to strut their stuff on Melbourne Cup Eve at the “Peninsula’s Got Talent” night. A $1000 first prize is up for grabs by someone who can enchant the audience and impress the judges. Runners-up prizes include $500 cash and a $200 bar tab. “Entries will be limited to the best 12 applicants, with a few already locked-in including a dancer, a singer and also someone with a surprise act,”

Olds Boys put to sword by Faithfull PROVINCIAL By IT Gully REIGNING MPCA Provincial champions Peninsula Old Boys didn’t get the start they were looking for when the new season was unveiled last weekend. Playing against cross-town rivals, Mt Eliza, the Old Boys were put to the sword by the Mounties’ opening batsman, Tristan Faithfull, who belted 115 in the eight wicket win. Faithfull played all season in the Second XI last season, getting a top score of 96. He was superb on Saturday in helping his side to the winning post with two overs to spare. The Old Boys batted first on their home deck and put together a more than competitive 5/173. Brandon Lawler top scored with 58 and Glenn Prendergast finished unbeaten on 40. Wade Pelzer also scored 36. With Faithfull in a damaging mood, there weren’t enough runs in the bank and the Mounties called it quits at 2/175. Langwarrin re-launched in Provincial cricket

with a convincing win over Mt Martha. The Kangas scored 6/153 with the evergreen Danny Weare top scoring with an unbeaten 50. Openers Taylor Smith (31) and Mark Cooper (30) got their side away to a good start with a stand of 64. The Reds had no answers for spin king Dwayne Doig, who at one stage had 4/8 before finishing with 5/25. Kade Bendle, out of Under 17s last season, top scored with 36 for the Reds while skipper Corey Harris was next best with 25. Mt Martha could only manage 9/114 in reply. Crib Point was able to chase down Baxter’s strong total of 8/174 at Crib Point Reserve. Baxter won the toss and batted and Shane McComb got his side away to a strong start with 56. Dale Irving contributed 35 and Dean Sterry finished unbeaten on 38. 8/174 looked good enough. Brad Davidson was the pick of the Magpies’ bowlers with 4/41 from 10 overs, while Henry Dolphin claimed 2/15 from his 10. The home side couldn’t have got away to a better start in its chase.

Matty Blake was the aggressor of the two openers, smashing 96, while Dolphin played the anchor role with 34. Dolphin was the first one dismissed with the score on 140. However, just 35 shy of victory, the Pies lost six wickets for just 23 runs. They were 7/169, before Warren Herrington got them over the line. Ben Smith was the best of the Baxter bowlers with 5/16 from 10 overs. Smith, not known for his bowling, had just 21 overs in three senior matches last season. Long Island got its season away to a flier and sits on top of the ladder, disposing of Heatherhill with ease.The Islanders batted first on their home deck and amassed 6/177, Scott Phillips top scoring with 55, Paul Hartle opening with 36 and Stuart Doolan (31) and Andrew Tweddle (27) finishing not out at the end. In reply, the Hills were rolled for 111 in the 39th over. Adam Salerni, batting at nine, was the best of the bats with 17. Chris Hocking was the best of the Long Island bowlers with 3/11 from four overs while Fergus O’Connor, fresh from Premier cricket at Casey-South Melbourne,

helped himself to 2/16. Sorrento was unconvincing in its match but still got the job done against Moorooduc. The Sorras made 6/148 in its 40 overs, Anthony Blackwell top scoring with 33 and CJ King getting 26. Shaun Manby and Reece Cordeaux each claimed two wickets for the Ducs. In reply, the Ducs could only manage 8/134, Bobby Wilson and Brayden Gleeson each getting 24. Nick Davern bowled eight overs and finished with 3/28 for the home side. Mornington did what it needed to do against Rye without setting the world on fire. The Doggies batted first with Matt Foon top scoring with 57 and Ben Clements scoring 20. At one stage, the visitors were in some strife at 7/113 after losing 6/36. The strong bowling attack of the Doggies then stepped up to the plate and rolled Rye in the 30th over for just 94. Teenager Jack Haseltine snared 3/6 from three overs and Luke Harper claimed 3/23 from eight overs. Luke Popov also picked-up 2/11. Andrew Hitchener top scored with 25 for Rye.

Buds, Hillmen off to winning start SUB-DISTRICT

Upset win: Hastings beat Baden Powell with the Braves being bowled out for 112. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Power powers way to ton for Flinders DISTRICT By IT Gully TOP order batsman Andrew Power was the major catalyst behind Flinders’ strong victory over Ballam Park in MPCA District cricket. Power smashed five fours and six sixes on his way to an unbeaten 102, while his partner in crime just happened to be one of the best in the business, Shane Beggs, who was also unbeaten on 89. The pair came together when the score was 3/46 and walked off with the score on 3/225 after 40 overs. In reply, the Knights were never in the hunt, losing wickets regularly and eventually bowled out for 86. Ballam Park was looking for a big improvement this season after an embarressing 2012-13, however, it appears in the early stages that not a lot has changed. Matty Roach top scored for the Knights with 25, while Max Royal was the pick of the Flinders bowlers with 4/20. Seaford is expected to have a tough season and things didn’t start well against Carrum. Batting first, Seaford was bowled out in the 35th over for just 65. Damien Lawrence top

scored with an unbeaten 22. Jackson Fry claimed 3/20 and Jeremy Graves 3/19 to be the best of the Lions’ bowlers. In reply, the home side lost five wickets on their way to claiming victory. Shaun Foster top scored with 28. Ryan McQueen picked up two wickets. Pines got its season in order early, knocking over the highly fancied Main Ridge. The Ridge batted first and early in the match were 3/3, however Brad Rossborough and Gareth Wyatt steadied the ship with 21 each, before Nick Gage scored 27 at the end. Brett Remy was the best of the Pines bowlers with 4/18. Ricky Ramsdale then guided his side across the line with an unbeaten 30. Pines won the match in the 35th over, losing just four wickets. Harley Parker opened with 25, while Jake Prosser made an early impression at his new club with a catch, run out, wicket and 19 runs. Hastings caused one of the upsets of the round, beating Baden Powell. The Braves lost the toss and were sent in to bat, however, were bowled out for 112. Only two batsmen made it to double figures, Rhys Elmi scoring 39 and Anjula Perera 44. Recruit Benny Johnson made a strong start

with his new club, claiming 4/24 from nine overs. Isuru Dias picked-up 3/20. In reply, the Blues were wobbly early before Luke Hewitt (31) and Ben King (21) guided their side to victory. Perera rounded-out a great game personally with 3/36. New kids on the block, Seaford Tigers, were shown the significant level of difference between Subbies and District cricket by Delacombe Park. The Tigers batted first and made 130 in 40 overs. Chris Brittain and Simon Dignan were the stars with the ball for the Parkers with 3/25 and 2/11 respectively. When it came time to bat, Jon Guthrie smacked 49 and Chris Brittain hit 38 to help their side over the line with three wickets in hand. Corey Hand was the pick of the Tigers’ bowlers with three wickets. Somerville got away to a flier, smashing Boneo. The top order for the Eagles all got starts, Nick Marshall top scoring with 52 and Jack Barbour scoring 25. Chris Jobling and Justin Moore each claimed two wickets for Boneo. In reply, Boneo fell 50 runs short. Ryan Jellie top scored with 25. Justin Allsop was the best with the ball for the Eagles with 4/32.

By IT Gully ROSEBUD and Red Hill both started well with strong victories in round one of Sub District cricket. The Buds and the Hillmen are both expected to be right in the mix at the business end of the season and they were both up and going on Saturday. Red Hill had a walk in the park against Dromana. The Hills bowled first and rolled the Hoppers for just 63, skipper Simon Dart dominating proceedings with 5/11. The Hillmen then passed the total with the loss of just two wickets. Rosebud had to work a little harder than Red Hill in its match against Tootgarook. The Buds scored 4/175 in its 40 overs after batting first. Darren Kerr was the architect with 61, Leigh Parslow knocked up 51 and Adam Clifford made an impression opening the innings with 33. Jason Nagel was then the man to do the damage for Rosebud with the ball, claiming 4/31 from 10 overs. Brian Doughty snared 3/39 and Kerr made it a wonderful game personally with 2/35. Tyabb and Pearcedale went head to head in what was expected to be a tight tussle. The match certainly didn’t disappoint, the Yabbies getting home in a thriller by just eight runs. The Yabbies won the toss and batted first and were able to push their final total to 8/157. Luke Rus top scored with 48 and Ben Van Wees was also very good in the middle order with 43. Scott Didcock opened with 23. Shayne Gillings was the best of the Panthers bowlers with 4/29. In reply, the Panthers looked to be in a strong position at 3/75 and again at 4/118. New skipper Chris Dew did his job with 68 and David Brabazon scored 25, however, there wasn’t any wag in the tail. Pearcedale was bowled out in the 39th over. Nathan Hudgson took 4/23 from 8.4 overs for the Yabbies. Carrum Downs and Frankston YCW also had a tight battle. The Downers batted first and made 8/151, thanks largely to Chamara Perera, who blasted an unbeaten 45 batting at nine. Adam Muirhead picked-up 3/50 for the Stonecats. In reply, YCW fell just two runs short. Teenager Jack Greenwood opened with 38 and Paul Bradley (57) and Luke Hutchison (27) appeared to be the ones to get their side over the line. However, they lost their last four wickets for six runs and fell short. In the final match, Skye won comfortably over Balnarring. Balnarring batted first and was all out for just 91. Mark Wales top scored with 37. Leigh Smith was outstanding for his side with the ball, taking 4/13, while Phil Clinch picked-up 3/35. In response, it was Smith again who was the difference, scoring 40, while Stephen Smart hit 26. Skye won with an over and five wickets in hand. Western Port News 8 October 2013

Crib’s top teams take early points CRIB POINT CC By Ricky Thompson CRIB Point Cricket Club enters the 2013-14 season after a solid preseason with fantastic numbers at every training session. There have been plenty of familiar faces, some returning to the club, as well as a handful of newcomers to “The Nest”, including quality lefthand batsman Luke Chappell. The club will field four senior teams, including a Fourths team to play in C2 Division, which is a one-day competition. They join the Provincial Firsts, Provincial Seconds and A3 (Thirds). Leading the club for the eighth season in a row is Luke Herrington, with Michael Cook

captaining the Seconds, Heath Lacey the Thirds and Manny Beasley the Fourths. For Round 1 on the weekend, the recent rain had played havoc with several grounds on the peninsula. The Firsts and Seconds took on Baxter, but the Thirds were forced to take a draw as the Cyril Fox Reserve in Crib Point was deemed unplayable. The Fourths are due to start this week. The Firsts faced a crucial game to start the season. Luke Herrington uncharacteristically lost the toss and Crib was sent in to the field. Opening the bowling with young quick Waide Symes and veteran Glenn Barclay, Crib struggled with Baxter attacking from the outset, quickly moving to 0/58 before the breakthrough finally came from Barclay. The attacking nature of the Baxter team continued and it was up to club legend Henry Dolphin to tighten things up. Turning back the clock, Dolphin finished with 2/15 off his 10 overs and was only outdone by the slow mediums of Brad Davidson, who also bowled well, picking up 4/41 from his 10. At the end of 40 overs, Baxter had set Crib a more than competitive 175 for victory. Heading out to opening the batting, Henry Dolphin and assistant coach Matt Blake decided attack would be the best approach and set about quickly reducing the deficit. In a fantastic opening stand the pair put on 140 for first wicket before Henry fell for 34.

Western Port News 8 October 2013

With 35 to win and 9 wickets in hand, victory was in sight but Blake was out 4 runs short of his hundred and things started to go south. Crib lost a flurry of wickets to be 7/171 with an over to go. Warren Herrington stepped up and despatched the first ball of the last over into the cosmos, a massive 6 to give Crib victory and the allimportant 12 points. The Seconds travelled to Baxter with a young side that is full of talent. Baxter won the toss and elected to bat and immediately Crib took control of the game and had the opposition reeling at 6/32. The chief destroyer was young Will Lanigan, who swung and cut the ball around early, tearing through the Baxter top order picking up 4/54 from 10 overs. Baxter steadied the ship with a middle order recovery, but was bowled out in the 37th over for 90. Along with Lanigan, the other wicket-takers were Shaun Blake with 2/15 and Dave Eaton and Mark Cairns one a piece. Crib Point openers Neil Clarke and Adam Keulen, both looking to make their way back into the top grade, made light work of the small target, which Crib passed without loss. Keulen was eventually dismissed for 27 and Clarke a well-compiled 60, with the team finishing the day at 2/99 off 28 overs. It was a good start for the club with both teams competing well and picking up the all-important points early in the season.

By Greg Bradshaw HASTINGS started the season with a bang when it defeated one of last year’s finalists, Baden Powell, on the weekend. The appointment of Brad Watson as captaincoach has bought an enthusiasm and drive missing in previous years. The club worked hard to recruit players in the off season and welcomed Ben Johnson, Brent McGill, Mitchell Floyd and Ben King to the list. The Blues won the toss and sent Baden Powell in to bat with new recruit Mitchell Floyd claiming a wicket in his first over for the club. The next pair batted for 15 overs to take the score to 1/39 before Issy Dias claimed his first wicket for the season in his new role as first change bowler. Luke Hewitt came into the attack and had immediate success and BP was 3/39 after 18 overs. Rhys Elmi and A Perera then produced an excellent partnership, putting on 54 runs in the next 14 overs before Hewitt ran out Elmi for 39. Ben Johnson, another recruit, came back in to the attack, this time bowling down wind, and proceeded to skittle four batsmen in two overs as BP’s wheels fell off and the team was dismissed for 112 off only 38 overs. Johnson finished with 4/24 off 9 overs, Dias 3/20, Floyd 1/28 and Hewitt 1/7 while Tim Birch bowled without luck, taking 0/15 off 8 overs. Hastings opened with Watson and Damien Smith but Watson went early for 4. King joined Smith and they took the score to 36 before Smith was out for 6. King followed soon after for 21 and Hastings was 3/42 after 18 overs. The Hewitt brothers came together and showed a touch of class as they put together a 52-run partnership before both had rushes of blood and were dismissed for 18 and 31 respectively, 5/96 with 10 overs remaining. The Hastings innings had pretty much mirrored BP’s as Birch and Floyd came and went – Hastings 7/102. David Hull, playing in his first senior match in more than a decade, held his nerve and with Johnson steered the side to a two wicket victory, 8/114 with Hull making 8. It was a great first-up win for the team. Now it’s back to 80 over days, and playing last

season’s grand finalists Somerville will be a very good test. Man of the match was Ben Johnson. Seconds v Baden Powell: Hastings won the toss and batted with the two Foys opening. Both were soon back in the pavilion, 2/9 after 7 overs. Wickets tumbled in quick succession and Hastings was 6/26 in the 19th over. This brought Aaron Wilson and Jaysen Bradshaw together and they rode their luck, putting on 32 runs before Wilson was bowled for 6, 7/58 after 32 overs. The key was to bat the overs out and put a defendable score on the board and that’s what the last batters did. Bradshaw showed maturity to top-score with 35, Carey Sawosz made 10, Liam Bradshaw 8 and Luke Gibbons 4 as the score reached 9/90. Knowing they had a small total to defend, the boys came out firing with Gibbons and Sawosz putting pressure on by bowling in the right areas. Sawosz claimed the first two wickets, 2/20 after 12 overs. Wilson and Bradshaw bowled well, keeping it tight, and claimed a wicket each plus a bonus run out, 5/55 in the 28th over. BP sprinted home with a flurry to finish with 5/95 after 35 overs. Sawosz bowled well, taking 2/14 off 7 overs, Wilson 1/17 off 6 and L Bradshaw 1/18 off 7. Man of the match was Jaysen Bradshaw. Thirds v Seaford Tigers: Winning the toss and sending the Tigers in proved to be a good decision as Hastings’ bowlers ran through the batters to dismiss them for 66 off 32 overs. Each bowler took at least one wicket with Chris Helweg in his first game taking 2/9 off 6 overs, Craig McNamara 2/20 off 6, Steve Thomson 2/4 off 5, Andrew Finn 1/14 off 5, Justin Norton, also in his first game, took 1/11 off 5, Sean Hewitt 1/8 off 4 and Lachlan Cox in his first senior game took a wicket with the only ball he bowled. Hastings began its innings with a flurry with Glenn Jansz hitting a quick-fire 27 while Scott Williams scored 1 at the other end, 2/32 after 9 overs. The evergreen Stuey Burrows came in and caressed the ball around for 17no while younger players Hewitt and Cox gained some valuable time in the middle. When Jason Slocombe came

Schwarze to lead Sharks SORRENTO has appointed former premiership coach Troy Schwarze to lead the club. The appointment ends months of speculation over who would do the job, after it became obvious the club didn’t want Nick Claringbold to go around again. The Sharks are looking for improvement again next season, with at least seven new faces in the line-up. Josh Stephenson, Dalton Sanderson, Jon Croad and Matt Debrowski are all back from interstate or overseas. Myles Pitt appears a certainty to play with the Sharks next season, while former premiership captain and Crib Point coach Dave Lawson plans to finish his career where it all began. The younger brother of Ryan Jeffrey, who played at Knox this season, is expected to be a Shark. We hear he’s a gun.

Stonecats have a coach FRANKSTON YCW has appointed former Under-18 coach and assistant to “Buggsy” Barry, Scott Mathers, as its new coach. The Stonecats had a nibble at Gavin Artico, but when he took the Langwarrin job, the door opened for Mathers.

Clubs with no coaches THERE are still some clubs who have not appointed coaches. After reporting Duane Annable had landed the Crib Point job, we were told this was not the case. We understand former Hastings forward Dylan Hand is being interviewed this week. Seaford is still looking for a coach (although we hear former Somerville midfielder Ben Crowe is keen), as is Karingal, while Nepean premiers Dromana are still without a coach. Nick Claringbold is the new coach at Peninsula Old Boys in the Ammos.

Hillmen on the move WE expected Red Hill would be big movers in the off-season under new coach Tony Blackford and this is certainly the case. The Hillmen have already landed talented forward Jarred Eames from Karingal as well as Nick Batemen from Frankston Dolphins. Red Hill is also expected to land a 100-game VFL midfielder who played finals this season. Added to this is dual YCW premiership player Blake McCormack. Dan McNamara and Marcus DaLago are back from overseas and injury respectively. Blackford said he was confident there would be at least another three signings over the next couple of weeks. and went for a duck, it was 5/50 but McNamara had five scoring shots to make 19no and take the team to victory. This was a good first-up win and gave the captain a good look at all players. Man of the match was Craig McNamara. The Fourths play their first game this weekend. Juniors: With the MPCA changing the playing age groups to under-10, under-12, under-14 and under-16, the club will field a side in each grade. The season starts on Friday 18 October with the under-10s playing, Saturday 19 October with the under-12s and under-16s, and Sunday 20 with the under-14s. The under-10s, 14s and 16s train on Tuesdays at 4.30pm and under-12s on Wednesdays, also at 4.40pm. For more information about junior teams, call Greg Bradshaw on 0448 010 565. All major sponsors from last season have again signed up with the club.

MOTORING Kelly gang muscles into supercar world BRAESIDE-based Nissan Motorsport is thriving in the competitive world of the V8 Supercars Championship. After serving a successful driving apprenticeship with champion team Walkinshaw Racing in the 2000s, brothers Todd and Rick Kelly set up their V8 racing team in 2009. The Kelly boys, who together have three Bathurst 1000 wins to their names, built their state-of-the-art Braeside centre with no expense spared, all aimed at becoming the biggest and best V8 Supercar team in the country. Originally a Holden squad known as Kelly Racing, the team captured the attention of the Nissan Motor Company, which lured them back to toplevel touring car racing, becoming the manufacturer to end the Ford and Holden duopoly that had dominated V8 Supercar racing for 20 years. Just eight months into Nissan’s return, they are race winners. At Winton Raceway near Benalla, young gun James Moffat snagged Nissan’s first win in Australian touring car racing in 21 years, leading home Nissan teammate Michael Caruso for a historic 1-2 finish. The Winton result was a culmination of 18 months of hard work and dedication – from winning the support of Nissan to now having some trophies in their cabinet to justify the blood, sweat and tears from drivers and race crews. “It’s a little bit of a dream come

true,” Rick Kelly said. “For James and Michael to achieve that when we are still in a huge development phase with our Nissan Altima V8 Supercars is absolutely incredible. “The past 18 months for us have been extremely tough. Our guys, especially those with families, have had to sacrifice everything because of the workload. All of their effort paid off.” The factory Nissan team has more than 60 employees and is one of just two V8 Supercars teams with infrastructure to be mechanically self-sufficient. The multi-million dollar centre features three separate buildings housing a race shop area, engine shop, machine shop and composites department as well as its own sticker shop and merchandise. “We set up this to be something that we could grow in to, and I think that has been justified by Nissan’s commitment to our vision,” Mr Kelly said. “I’m very proud of the racing team we have created. We picked a great location, close to everything that we need and we’ve recruited some of the best engineers and staff on offer. “I feel we have the makings of a race team that can be a chance to win every time we roll the cars out.” Nissan Motorsport returns to the track for the category’s most famous race, the Bathurst 1000 on 10-13 October.

Holden celebrates 35 years of Commodore with special edition HOLDEN is celebrating the 35th anniversary of Commodore with the introduction of the special edition ‘VF Commodore International’ sedan and Sportwagon. Building on the already highly specified VF range, Commodore International adds additional luxury and sports features including leather appointed seats, 18 inch alloy wheels, Blind Spot Alert and Reverse Traffic Alert. The ‘International’ badge is fitting for the VF Commodore, which has received critical acclaim as a car that rivals the world’s best. Holden Executive Director, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing, Phil Brook, said the Commodore International added to VF’s already exceptional value story. “We wanted to celebrate the anniversary of an icon by introducing even more great value features on the all-new VF Commodore,” said Mr Brook. “The VF range has been very well received and we’ve continued to look at how we can offer maximum value, so we’re delighted to be able to introduce an even more compelling package to large car buyers. “At such a competitive price, and loaded with technology, we expect it to be another winner in our showrooms.” With a limited number of vehicles being built this year, the Commodore International is sure to attract plenty of customer enquiry through the end of year period.
