By Keith Platt HASTINGS taxi drivers say their passengers are being put at risk by crumbling bitumen and an uneven concrete footpath at the King St taxi rank. “The asphalt is coming apart; it’s not disabled friendly,” taxi driver of 10 years Peter Middleton said. He said the rank was unpopular with drivers because their vehicles were often the target of youngsters throwing rocks and eggs. “Our taxis also obscure the view [along King St toward High St] for drivers exiting the Coles car park.” Mr Middleton said state government money spent on a taxi rank near the shop in West Park by Mornington Peninsula Shire “should have been used down here”. “Go and have a look, there are never any taxis parked there.” Mr Middleton estimated there were up to 10 “kids” aged 12 to 15 who aimed missiles at taxis. “No one will park here at the King St rank at night because of them,” he said. “The lighting is bad and at night kids are throwing things at taxis. “They throw rocks, there have been some eggs and I had a water bomb thrown at me during the day on a Sunday.” A spokesman for Hastings police said there had been no reports of attacks on taxi drivers. The shire’s infrastructure strategy manager Alison Leighton said the shire would “inspect the site with a view to identifying improvements that may be made”. “Sooner or later an older person will fall and break some bones because of the hole in the road and uneven concrete,” Mr Middleton said. “It’s getting beyond a joke. Footpaths have been fixed elsewhere, but not here.” Mr Middleton said the shire needed to clean up the area around the taxi rank. “It needs to be disabled-friendly, the maxi cabs have to go into the Coles car park to load and unload scooters. “The rank needs a complete makeover.”

Roundabout for high-risk crossroad By Mike Hast A TEMPORARY roundabout will be installed at the high-risk intersection of Graydens and Boes roads in Hastings. The decision by Mornington Peninsula Shire comes after an increasing number of accidents, including three in June (The News, 2/7/13). Federal Coalition MP Greg Hunt has weighed in to the issue after a near-miss at the intersection on Monday last week. Mr Hunt, who has an office in Hastings and lives at Mt Martha, has been enlisted by the shire council to lobby federal Transport Minister and newly elected Deputy Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Mr Hunt’s media adviser, Tina McGuffie, said the shire had “asked Greg to do what he can to get the Boes Rd/ Graydens Rd intersection fixed as a matter of urgency”. Mr Hunt has urged Mr Albanese to allow the most recent crash statistics to be used in assessing the intersection for “black spot” funding. Ms McGuffie said the shire was confident “this will bump the intersection up the priority list and allow a roundabout to be constructed in this financial year”. Mr Hunt told Mr Albanese he had been contacted by shire CEO Michael Kennedy “regarding the urgent need for ‘black spot’ funding to install a roundabout at the intersection”. “I would like to impress on you the urgency of this request. I myself have had a near-miss at this dangerous intersection in recent weeks. I understand there have also been three collisions at that intersection in the past month alone,” Mr Hunt stated.

“You will see from the attached information supplied by Mornington Peninsula Shire that there were seven collisions at that intersection between October 2010 and June 2012. “Hastings Police have also advised that since June last year a further eight crashes have occurred, with six of these causing serious injury. “I urge you to allow this intersection to be assessed for black spot funding using the most up-to-date accident statistics, rather than figures from 2011.

“I myself have had a near-miss at this dangerous intersection in recent weeks.” – Federal Opposition MP Greg Hunt “We need to fix the problems at this intersection now, before someone is killed.” Mr Hunt has also written to state Transport Minister Terry Mulder. Tyabb and District Ratepayers Group asked the shire what it intended to do about the intersection when plans to seal Boes Rd were first announced in 2005. Pressure to fix the crossroad intensified in June 2011 when near-neighbour David Lines alerted the shire to increasing numbers of crashes. This followed the sealing of Hendersons Rd (which becomes Boes Rd at the intersection), which led to more drivers using the intersection.

Mr Lines wrote to the shire saying “nearly every week, we are having minor accidents at this intersection” and “all we have had from the shire is two small placards placed on Graydens Rd warning of possible crash risk”. Since then, lobbying to fix the problem has increased. Weighing in have been property owners near the intersection, including Don and Hilda Hodgins; the Tyabb ratepayers group; Hastings state MP Neale Burgess and Cerberus Ward councillor David Garnock, who became aware of the problem after his election to the council last October. The News understands Cr Garnock requested a briefing by shire officers for all councillors on 1 July. He asked for a roundabout to be built as soon as possible but was told there was no money. It appears money has now been found for the temporary roundabout, which will be a rubberised version. Signs restricting speed to 40km/h will be installed. Last Friday, Cr Garnock said cypress trees at the intersection, which “significantly impacted sight lines”, would be removed. “It is expected the temporary roundabout will be installed within coming weeks,” he said. A high-standard permanent roundabout would follow, he said. “Planning, approvals and detailed design for construction of the permanent roundabout have started.” He said the permanent one, “a complex project”, could be built within 1218 months. “The shire is concerned the intersection displays a high safety risk, and we’ve listened to feedback from the community and relevant agencies.”

‘Friends’ find fault in shire’s court closure By Tony Duboudin MEMBERS of a Somers residents group have accused Mornington Peninsula Shire of riding roughshod over their pleas to preserve a public tennis court. Friends of Garden Square say the shire ignored a 450-signature petition asking that council retain the asphalt court in the centre of Garden Square. The shire says the court was in poor condition and a safety risk. Recreation and leisure manager Peter Gore said there was a public asphalt court 300 metres from Garden Square at R W Stone Reserve. Mr Gore said the shire’s tennis strategy “outlines that courts at the end of their asset life may be converted for other recreational uses/open space, particularly if there are courts nearby”. The Garden Square court dates back to the 1920s. The council removed the net, which was donated by a local resident, and left it at the house of Sally Holdsworth, president of Friends of Garden Square. The issue came to a head when a tree branch fell and knocked down one section of the fence around the court. Garden Square residents several times asked the council to repair the fence but, after several months, contractors took down the entire fence. The council claims this was a mistake by the contractors. During this time, children, parents and grandparents continued to use the court as the fence lay outside the playing area. “If the court is a risk to safety, which we don’t accept, then it was even more of a risk for months while the fence was on the ground with children and adults at risking of tripping over it,” Ms Holdsworth said. She said the court had been used for decades without incident and that there were several other public amenities in Somers such as walking tracks, bike paths as well as a flying fox, which, using the council’s risk assessment model, would also be deemed hazards and should have been closed. “Given that the council’s risk assessment was undertaken while the damaged wire fence was on the ground, it was only to be expected that it would be considered a tripping and safety hazard,” Ms Holdsworth said. “This is not Wimbledon, this is a hit

and giggle court that has been a boon for hundreds of locals and visitors over the years and now the council has taken that pleasure away. “Why has the council ignored our pleas? It’s not as if we are asking it to spend money; we’re just asking the court be left for everyone to enjoy. “The Garden Square court serves an entirely different group of people [to the tennis club]. “It is not for serious players. It’s for children and their parents and active grandparents to enjoy a family time in a relaxed atmosphere. The serious

players join Somers Tennis Club.” Ms Holdsworth said that during negotiations with council the friends had been told council would undertake work to “improve” Garden Square including landscaping, play equipment and the creation of paths “provided the tennis court was decommissioned”. “The council has paid lip service to community involvement with regard to the Garden Square court. The only questionnaire the council circulated failed to ask if residents wanted the court retained or removed, so it got the result it was seeking,” she said.

Garden Square is also used twice a month by the Somers petanque group and occasionally by children using the new council-provided all-metal table tennis table. In an emailed response, Mr Gore said council adopted the tennis strategy in September 2012 “after a public exhibition period, which included consultation with all local tennis clubs and a public forum”. “In Somers there are three courts managed by the Somers Tennis Club and a free, community/public, shiremanaged asphalt tennis court at R W Stone Reserve. The R W Stone Reserve community court is located approximately 300 metres away from Garden Square. “In October 2012, letters were sent to all residents and property owners within the Palm Beach Estate [surrounding the square] seeking feedback on a possible range of improvements for the Garden Square area. Over 70 responses were received with the overwhelming majority supporting open space improvements such as installation of play equipment, landscaping and seating or picnic facilities. “Only four respondents wanted the tennis court retained and no other improvements to be undertaken. “The Somers Residents Association identified that it supported the proposed improvements at the square and offered to coordinate community contributions to improvements. “In November 2012 funds were spent on improvements to the free community tennis court at R W Stone Reserve including removal of encroaching tea tree at the court edge, removal of netball rings, and fence and gate repairs. “The tennis club has reported that this public court at R W Stone Reserve is now being well utilised by the Somers community. “Shire officers have an open invitation to the Friends of Garden Square group to discuss possible future improvements in the square. “The shire received the petition and responded in detail by letter. “While the shire appreciates the interests of the friends group, it must act on professional advice about potential public safety hazards.”

Self-help grants for disability support THREE Mornington Peninsula groups have received state government funding in the latest round of Disability Self-Help Grants. Announcing the grants, Mornington MP David Morris said they were aimed at increasing the capacity of people with a disability to live independently in their own community, as well as helping self-help groups to provide information and education on the experiences of people with a disability. Mornington Peninsula Meniere’s Support Group received $1683, Mornington Peninsula PostPolio Support Group $2352 and Mornington Multiple Sclerosis Peer Support Group $3652. “Grant funding is provided for a variety of practical purposes including general expenses, running costs and minor works or equipment,” Mr Morris said. “Importantly, as the groups are generally very local or very focused, the benefits of the funding flow directly to support those involved and their local community.”

We have moved to new premises. Now located at 1/145 Salmon Nursing in the family Street, Hastings. Nursing family: Mike Fox with his mother Alaina outside Frankston Hospital’s emergency department.

Ph: 5979 3399 Email: jkb@netspace.net.au

GRADUATE nurse Mike Fox is following a family tradition by working at Frankston Hospital. His mother Alaina has been an enrolled nurse and ward clerk at the hospital for 24 years while his grandmother Gloria worked in domestic services for 16 years. Mr Fox graduated from Monash University with a double degree in nursing and emergency health last year. “I think it probably rubbed off on me and cultivated the instinct to care for people when they’re hurt,” he said. “My older siblings were also St John first aid cadets and both mum and dad were instructors for St John, so that probably had an impact too. I was too young to take part so maybe that’s why I went to university.” Mr Fox has had a paper published in the Australian Paramedic Journal and while at university was involved in a study where thirdyear students taught first-year students. Feedback revealed that the younger students

felt they had learnt more from the third year students than the teaching staff and that they were more comfortable asking their peers questions. Mr Fox presented the findings at the 2011 Paramedics Australasia Conference in Sydney. He said he applied to work for Peninsula Health because “it was all about the opportunities that it provides”. “I knew how diverse the patient demographics and presentations are and they offer almost all of the same treatments as the big tertiary hospitals in the city. But at the same time it’s small enough to be tight knit, so I thought it was a good balance. “I knew that even if I didn’t get a grad year at Peninsula Health I would want to get in there as soon as possible.” Mr Fox is completing his first rotation in Frankston Hospital’s emergency department while offering an insight into the day of a grad nurse through his blog on Peninsula Health’s website: www.peninsulahealth.org.au

Federal OK for $50m Yaringa marina By Mike Hast THE federal government has approved plans to expand Yaringa Boat Harbour at Somerville. The $50 million project was subject to approval by the federal Department of Environment as it triggered a process under the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The so-called “controlled action” under the Act was because the project could potentially affect wetlands of international importance, listed threatened species, and listed migratory species. Permission was granted in late June after Yaringa owner Stefan Borzecki submitted his plans to the government in July 2011. Mr Borzecki now needs approval from the state government for rezoning of land, a process that will be started by Mornington Peninsula Shire as soon as this month. The project will see the harbour expanded from 600 to 1000 wet and dry berths for recreational boats as well as the construction of 180 holiday apartments beside a proposed new marina arm that will have a lock between the existing channel and the new section. The expansion of the complex at the end of Lumeah Rd was first proposed in 2009 and will consist of:  Excavation of a new 300-metre long marina arm on private land to create 180 new wet berths.  A $1 million lock between the existing 300-metre marina arm and the new section to retain water in all tides. The lock would be on public land held under a lease.  About 200 new dry berths on private land with some under cover in new buildings.

 180 holiday apartments beside the new marina arm on private land.  New buildings for the existing marine service centre, which is currently home to about 20 companies. The existing marina has room for 600 boats, 150 in wet berths on leased public land and dry storage for 450 boats on private land. A channel between the two marinas would be 70 metres long, seven metres wide and 2.5 metres deep. The lock would be 25 metres long. Mr Borzecki, who grew up in Hastings and has owned the marina for 28 years, says he has spent about $1 million on studies covering Aboriginal heritage, flora and fauna, economic viability, acid sulphate soils, coastal hazards relating to predicted sea level rise, water circulation, landscape and fire risk, and an environment management plan. Expansion will see the removal of coastal vegetation. Mr Borzecki has bought 100 hectares on the northwest corner of French Island as a “vegetation offset”. Mr Borzecki said 870 jobs would be created during the two-year construction period and 200 jobs once completed. “We’ll need two summers to do the excavation,” he said. On Friday he told The News the existing marina would be renovated as part of the expansion. This would cost about $10 million. It would include installing steel sheet piles to replace earth walls either side of the existing marina channel and replacing floating docks. The precinct will be sewered, with waste pumped to Tyabb to join the sewer main.

Man with a plan: Yaringa Boat Harbour owner Stefan Borzecki has received federal government approval for ambitious plans to expand his marina including holiday apartments beside a new arm connected to the existing channel by a lock.

Unseen parrot held up plan THE Yaringa marina project was nearly scuttled in early 2012 by a bird that has not been seen in the area for more than 25 years – the orange-bellied parrot (right). The critically endangered parrot breeds in Tasmania and flies across Bass Strait to spend winter in southern mainland Australia, including Victoria. Fewer than 50 parrots exist in the wild and there are about 200 in captive breeding programs at Healesville Sanctuary in Victoria as well as in wildlife centres in Tasmania, NSW and South Australia. The bird once wintered in the Yaringa area. Mr Borzecki said the marina expansion would not be on the saltmarsh, the parrots’ habitat. “It’s 100 metres away and there is a vegetation barrier,” he said. Picture: Yanni

‘Masked avenger’ a fierce protector of young IT is noisy, frequently quite rude and, some might say, not as pretty as some of its feathered cousins, but the bird known as the “masked avenger” has good reason for its outbursts of choler over winter. Susanna Bradshaw, CEO of the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife, says the masked lapwing will swoop and chase people and pets to protect its nest, which is often built in exposed areas on open ground. “Masked lapwings breed after rains, in winter and spring in the southeast of Australia,” Ms Bradshaw said. “If you see a lapwing sitting on the grass, it’s likely that a whole family is about to spring into life near you; the chicks are hatching now on the Mornington Peninsula. “As they nest out in the open on the ground, they are quite exposed and vulnerable. “This explains why they are such fierce protectors of their nests and why they scream and swoop at anything that comes too close.” Named for its bright yellow facial mask, the masked lapwing has a small spur on its wing but rarely makes contact when it swoops. “These birds are all bluff,” Ms Bradshaw said. “They are just trying to encourage you to stay a safe distance away from their nest or chicks. They have very strong parental instincts and are only trying to defend young that can’t defend themselves.” If swooping does not deter a predator, the lapwing will often fly a short distance away, begin hopping

on one leg or lying on the ground flapping its wings limply, pretending to be injured to draw the predator away. “It puts itself in harm’s way for the sake of its young; they are very dedicated defenders,” Ms Bradshaw said. Many people will be familiar with the screeching “keer-kick-ki-ki-ki” of the lapwing, but Ms Bradshaw said close scrutiny revealed the bird’s more

gentle ways of communicating. “Adult lapwings make a long, drawn-out call to tell their chicks to come in close. To tell the chicks to move away, they make a single chirp every few seconds.” Try the following to avoid being swooped:  Vary your walking route to avoid lapwing nests at this time of the year.  Hop off your bike and walk past lapwing nests.

 Wear a hat and avoid making eye contact or staring directly at the birds.  Don’t run away in panic as this could encourage them.  Travel in a group past the nests if possible, as lapwings are more likely to swoop lone walkers or cyclists.  Watch where you put your feet so you don’t step on any eggs or a nest in the grass.  Check for eggs or nests before you mow the lawn.

 Don’t remove eggs – it’s illegal and the birds will only re-nest and re-lay.  Keep cats indoors and train your dog to keep a safe distance from bird nests.

Businesses chip in for the children A PENINSULA horse trainer and a car and tyre centre owner organised an event in autumn that raised $28,000 for the Abacus Learning Centre in Hastings and the national childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charity Variety. Mornington-based trainer Mark Riley of Riley Racing Stables and John Mackie of Mornington Car and Tyre Services wanted to donate money to a peninsula childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charity as well as Variety. Mr Mackie said they found out about Abacus Learning Centre through family and started planning a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charity race day at

Mornington Racing Club to support both charities. Calls were made to various businesses and the pair compiled a list of sponsors who had agreed to donate goods and services for silent and live auctions at the event. Mr Mackie said the generous businesses included Hyland Sportswear (principle sponsor), European Auto Refinishers, Mornington Mazda, Harba Oyster Bar & Grill, J&P Group Services, and Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sawdust and Shavings. Naturally, the men also signed up their businesses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Riley Racing

Stables and Mornington Car and Tyre Services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spoke to Abacus people and found out that what the centre needed most was more learning hours for children of families that couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford it,â&#x20AC;? Mr Mackie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This included four-year-olds who needed more time to learn how to communicate before starting preschool and school life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Autism is a varied disorder and some children need more education than others.â&#x20AC;? Abacus is Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first facility offering centre-based Applied

Behaviour Analysis, an intensive education program developed by Dr O Ivar Lovaas. It is used in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Europe and increasingly in Australia. Mr Riley and Mr Mackie presented Abacus with more than $17,000 last Wednesday at the centre in Victoria St, Hastings. More than $10,000 has been given to Variety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Variety will also be donating iPads to Abacus through its grants system,â&#x20AC;? Mr Mackie said. John Mackie has been raising

money for Variety for many years as part of a Mornington team with restaurateur John Crossin that takes part in the annual Variety Bash. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event from 20-31 August will take participants from Echuca to Broome in Western Australia on what organisers say is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;scenic routeâ&#x20AC;?.

New centre for CFA CONSTRUCTION has begun on the Country Fire Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new $3.5 million southern metropolitan region head office on the Princes Highway at Dandenong South. The CFA has leased two floors of the four-storey building at 81-125 Princes Highway, being built on the site of the former General Motors Holden vehicle assembly plant. A multi-agency emergency management complex will also be on the site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This new building will ensure the best level of service for this ever-growing and densely populated region,â&#x20AC;? CFA regional director Peter Schmidt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This includes service in the areas of both administrative and support as well as multiple tiers in the emergency management structure.â&#x20AC;? The building is expected to be completed by mid-2014. Neil Walker

They will visit other tourism attractions including Peninsula Hot Springs and Red Hill Winery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to get down to the peninsula for about six months but other commitments like the Gold Coast and New Zealand got in the way,â&#x20AC;? Golf Getawayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general manager Andrew McCombe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got married down there [and] I know how stunning it as and how many amazing golf courses there are. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rest of the Golf Getaway crew is really in for a treat.â&#x20AC;?

Community policing on a wave

Team work: Acting Sergeant Chris Stock of Hastings police, left, Senior Constable Neil Prosser of Mornington and Leading Senior Constable Michael Gibson of Rosebud are part of the CREST team working with Hastings retailers. Picture: Jason Richardson

GOOD customer service is the first step in the fight against shoplifting, says a new guide produced by Hastings police. “A retailers guide to reducing retail theft in Hastings” offers tips on service, training staff, dealing with suspected thieves, handling aggressive customers and contacting police. Acting Senior Sergeant Chris Stock of Hastings police said he had called on the Mornington Peninsula CREST unit to work with Hastings retailers. “We want retailers to know what to do and what not to do and how to deal with the criminal aspect that may encounter in day-to-day business,” he said. The Community Response Engagement and Social Tasking (CREST) unit, which has members from Hastings, Mornington and Rosebud police stations, is distributing the leaflet in Hastings and with retailers and shopkeepers to ensure they know and responsibilities. The team will turn its attentions to Mornington and Rosebud retailers in coming months. Senior Constable Neil Prosser, who is based at Mornington, said the CREST unit was set up 18 months ago as a “proactive policing unit” to work on community initiatives and crime prevention. The crew’s car is part-financed by Mornington Peninsula Shire. “We are not burdened with responding to 000 calls, so we have a bit more time to act on community concerns and find solutions,” he said. The team was out and about on Friday distributing a different sort of leaflet in the Mt Martha area where a spate of thefts from vehicles had occurred in the past week. “We respond to community concerns that may not require urgent attendance, but still need to be addressed,” Senior Constable Prosser said.

STAGE 2 CONSTRUCTION STARTED

Water works: Parks Victoria is installing signs and navigational marks to create new boating and swimming zones at places like Flinders.

New boat and swim zones WORK to mark new boating and swimming zones in Port Phillip and Western Port is about to start. Three main zones will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swimming onlyâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boating onlyâ&#x20AC;? and a shared zone for swimmers and boats. Introduction of the zones comes after a twoyear review by Parks Victoria of all boating and swimming zones in Port Phillip and Western Port. Ports Minister David Hodgett said the first stage of the program was â&#x20AC;&#x153;successfully introduced between St Kilda and Port Melbourne in 2010â&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More sections have been introduced across Port Phillip and Western Port over the past 12 months including from Safety Beach to Blairgowrie, Werribee to Williamstown, and along the northern coastline of Phillip Island. The zones have been prioritised according to the level of usage and the diversity of activities within individual zones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Further boating and swimming zones will be introduced in stages in Port Phillip and Western

Port in future years until all zones have been updated.â&#x20AC;? Mr Hodgett said Parks Victoria had â&#x20AC;&#x153;consulted widely with the community, including local government, boat operators, and lifesaving clubs when developing the new zonesâ&#x20AC;?. Zones would be clearly marked with new aids to navigation (piles or buoys) in the water. Parks Victoria would also install signs on the shore. Maps would be available on the Parks Victoria website. Some boating zones would limit speeds to 5 knots. One of the 5 knot zones is 500 metres wide and runs between Safety Beach and Blairgowrie, due to the low water depths and the number of swimmers in the area. Zones for kite boarders and wind surfers would allow them to exceed 5 knots within 200 metres of shore. Details: Parks Victoria information centre, phone 13 1963 or online at parkweb.vic.gov.au

Two hospitals, one vision – world-class healthcare on the peninsula By Anne Moutsos, Ramsay Healthcare

RAMSAY Healthcare operates the two largest and most-respected private hospitals on the Mornington Peninsula – Peninsula Private Hospital in Frankston and Beleura Private Hospital in Mornington. Together, they provide fast and easy local access to a comprehensive range of world-class healthcare services, without the need for patients to travel to the city. Peninsula and Beleura private hospitals cater for a broad range of healthcare needs, from day surgery procedures to highly complex surgery as well as maternity, mental healthcare

and oncology services. We are a key local employer and proud of our commitment to the Mornington Peninsula and our team of more than 500 staff. With more than 25 speciality areas offered in collaboration with accredited specialists, Peninsula and Beleura offer personalised care to patients with private health, TAC and WorkCover, and those who choose to self-fund (uninsured). Peninsula Private Hospital is the largest, most luxuriously appointed private hospital on the peninsula and surrounding region, and leads the way in advanced cardiac, surgical, medical, maternity and oncology services. Ide-

ally located near the Cranbourne exit of the newly opened Peninsula Link freeway, and within easy reach of major freeways and arterial roads, Peninsula Private Hospital services the surrounding communities of the peninsula and southeastern Melbourne. As a high-level facility, it offers advanced cardiac care, cardio-thoracic, orthopaedic, ENT, breast, urology, plastic and reconstructive, and general surgery as well as obstetric, medical and oncology services. Beleura Private Hospital’s longstanding reputation as one of the finest private hospitals in the community is based on our first-class healthcare

service supported by personalised, responsive and compassionate care. While the atmosphere at Beleura Private is relaxed, our spacious facilities are at the forefront of medical technology and practice, offering key private healthcare services to the peninsula. It specialises in orthopaedics, mental health, medical, surgical, urology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, vascular angiography and oncology (including day chemotherapy and palliative care). The comprehensive orthopaedic service at Beleura Private caters for patients undergoing joint replacement, arthroscopy. upper limb surgery and

One scheme. One focus on individuals. One commitment to lifelong support. From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a signiﬁcant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

foot and ankle surgery, and our multidisciplinary medical and allied health team works closely with patients to ensure a speedy recovery and transition home. Beleura Private Hospital also offers an excellent urology service and introduced the peninsula’s first minimally invasive laser urology service for men with urinary problems caused by enlargement of the prostate gland and for patients suffering from kidney stones. For information about Peninsula Private Hospital or Beleura Private Hospital visit www.peninsulaph.com.au or www.beleuraprivate.com.au

Former Hastings doctor dies aged 92

What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia? DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

Who is eligible? DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a signiﬁcant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will I lose my current support? No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

Will it affect my Disability Support Pension? No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

When does it all begin? DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system. Locations that start from July 2013 Barwon region of Victoria ................... People aged 0-64 Hunter region of NSW........................... People aged 0-64 South Australia .................................... Children aged 0-14 Tasmania ...................................Young people aged 15-24 Locations that start from July 2014 ACT .............................................................

Western Port News 9 July 2013

Celebrated figure: Dr John Williams served the Western Port area for 23 years.

A MUCH-loved and valued member of the Western Port community, Dr John Williams died on 20 June at Wonthaggi Hospital. Dr Williams arrived in Hastings in 1945 and worked as Dr Haywood’s assistant until Dr Haywood left. Dr Williams serviced the area on his own until the arrival of Dr Bailey. During his 23 years in the town, he and his wife Elizabeth were deeply involved in the town including the elderly citizens’ club, Hastings State School, preschool mothers’ clubs, swimming, basketball, tennis, bowling, cricket and yacht clubs. He was given a farewell by Hastings residents in June 1968 with his departure for Carnarvon where he had obtained work with the Western Australian Health Department. He was presented with an album of photographs showing the progress of Hastings and the district. Bound in leather, it was embossed “To John and Elizabeth from residents of Western Port 7th June 1968”. Tributes were paid to him on behalf of the residents of French Island. It was stated that he never hesitated when called on to visit sick people on the island, despite stormy seas, blizzards and rough bush tracks. He was also presented with a certificate electing him a life governor of the Hastings and District Bush Nursing Hospital. He died peacefully, surrounded by family. He was a father to six children, grandfather of 11 and a great-grandfather of 13. Source: Hastings People & Places, volume 1.

Somers Village Park Invest, Reside or Retire In Style Unquestionably one of the greatest places to live in Victoria, Somers has lived up to its reputation offering a quiet, safe and enviable lifestyle for the young at heart. With properties highly sought after in the area, Somers boasts one of the most protected, safest & quietest beaches in Victoria, ideal for beach walks, swimming, sifting through rock pools or sailing. Just some of the attractions of a Somers lifestyle are the dolphins often seen frolicking close by the waters edge, resident koalas, lovely locals and the inviting atmosphere of the social meeting places - Somers Post Office, yacht and tennis clubs, Coolart Homestead and the local Boulevard Cafe. Despite very few small land subdivisions for housing, Somers has not seen any major development since the 1920â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and has retained much of the beauty Somers residents continue to love and appreciate. With the added advantage of the green wedge we see very little chance of any further development for many years to come. For many who crave an unsurpassable lifestyle, Somers Holiday Village offers an affordable opportunity to own your own piece of paradise with the added advantage of being one of the very few Villages offering you the vendor an opportunity to earn an income from your investment.

Weekly Tips from Andrea & Tim - Dollars and Sense - Presentation Sells As mentioned last week first impressions will not only determine the value of your home, it will also increase the level of interest when those first impressions are of a positive nature. Great first impressions will usually result in creating a healthy & competitive environment, helping your agent of choice negotiate a premium price for your property. Tips to remember are always making sure your home smells pleasant, blinds are open, beds are made & floors are cleaned. Kitchens, bathrooms & living areas should be tidy, well maintained & clear of any clutter to best show off these spaces. Remember less is more. If there are too many personal items around the home, potential buyers will find it difficult to picture their own belongings in place, making it harder for them to imagine the property as their next family home. Your property is usually just one in a very long list of properties a buyer will see, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucial that they see it in the best possible light.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Farmers getting the jump on rabbit pest, local woman disappears Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 12 July 1913. DURING the past fortnight, the rabbit pest in the Shire of Mornington has been considerably reduced by the farmers spreading apples poisoned with strychnine. Some very large hauls were secured. In one 600-acre paddock, 800 dead rabbits were found, and it is estimated that altogether over 4000 were accounted for. *** TERRIBLE uneasiness is being felt at Dromana at present owing to the mysterious disappearance of a young lady named Miss Cain. It appears that she wandered from her home between 8 and 12 o’clock on Tuesday evening last, since when no trace of her has been discovered. Search parties were out on Wednesday and Thursday, scouring the district, but without success. It is supposed she is making towards Melbourne. She is described as being about 25 years of age, five feet in height, and was wearing a blue skirt and blue flannelette blouse with yellow stripes, and had no hat on. *** A REWARD of ten guineas has been offered on conviction of the person who has been laying the poison which has caused so much destruction among the dogs. *** THE next winter social of St Paul’s, Frankston, has been postponed till 23rd July. A good programme is being organised. *** “THE Game of Life” is noted as one of Mel. B. Spurr’s best musical monologues, and will be rendered by Miss

Annie Brody at the Choral concert at Somerville tonight. *** A VERY painful accident befell Mr Fred Doherty on Friday last, whilst chopping wood, a chip striking him in the ball of the eye. Although extremely painful, we are pleased to state the eye is not injured, and he is doing remarkably well under Dr Somers’ care. *** THE Frankston Club opened its new club room on Saturday night last, and it has been visited each evening by a number of men, young and old, who seem to enjoy the billiards and a quiet game of draughts or euchre. Cribagge and bezique are being added to the games provided. *** THE episode related in the ‘Herald’ and the morning papers on Tuesday, referring to a young lady being blown off the Mornington pier into the water during a gale on Sunday evening last, was incorrect. No such accident occurred there. *** THE marriage of Nurse Callow and Mr J. Jackson, of Frankston, was celebrated quietly at Christ Church, South Yarra, last week by the Rev. Leonard Townsend. Mrs Jackson proposes to retain her connection with St. Pancras Private Hospital, of which she is proprietress and nurse. *** ALTHOUGH a new school has been promised Somerville for some time, nothing has been done so far by the Department towards the accomplishment of this desirable object. The residents have kept up an agitation regarding the very unsatisfactory state of the

school, and it is high time something was done to at least improve the conditions now prevailing. *** ON Sunday evening last Archdeacon Hindley was the preacher at St Paul’s Church, Frankston, the Vicar reading the prayers. A large congregation filled the church. During the service, the choir, led by Mr Walter Jenning, sang an anthem new to Frankston, “Sweet is the Sunshine.” After the service the Archdeacon spoke to Mr Jennings, and sent a complimentary message to the choir, especially thanking them for their rendering of the anthem, which was a favourite one of his. *** THE Quarterly Meeting of the Frankston Methodist Church Circuit was held in the Methodist Church, Somerville, on the 2nd July. There was a representative gathering of the members of the various preaching places. A welcome was extended to the Rev. Robert Jackson. Finances were in a satisfactory state. It was decided to try and hold special missions right through the circuit as soon as can be arranged, the matter being left in the hands of the minister. The ladies of the Somerville Church provided a very enjoyable repast for which a hearty vote of thanks was passed, on the motion of Mr A. Corlett and Mr C. W. Murray. *** THE following is the balance sheet in connection with the recent ball in aid of the funds of the Frankston Football Club: Receipts: Tickets sold £1 18s, donations £2 1s, taken at door £3 1s 6d, total £7 0s 6d; expenditure total £4 15s 11d. The credit balance, £2 4s 7d,

has been handed to the secretary of the club. *** ON Friday night last Mr E. McComb, the captain of the Frankston Fire Brigade, was the recipient of a Long Service medal, presented by the Country Fire Brigades’ Board. A pound night was held, and Fireman Davey kindly lent his gramophone, which was appreciated by all present. The Captain has been a member of the Frankston brigade for 17 years, 15 years of which entitled him to the medal, which is an appropriate token for services rendered. Supper was served about 11 o’clock, after which the crowd dispersed, thoroughly satisfied with the evening’s enjoyment. *** THE Mornington Racing Club has leased from Mr Blair the Drywood Estate Racecourse, containing about 100 acres, for 12 months, with the option of extending the lease. It is the intention of the club to run two registered meetings annually, probably in December and February. The general meting of members will be called on or about the first Saturday in September, when immediate steps will be taken to erect a saddling paddock and other necessary improvements. The club has sublet the racecourse for grazing purposes for 11 months at a satisfactory price. During the week over 700 rabbits have been poisoned on the Drywood Estate, 300 in the Tanti Park, and large numbers on other areas. *** ARBOR Day was celebrated here on Friday, 4th inst., at the Railway Station School No. 3544. The weather was not as favourable as it might have

been, a boisterous wind was blowing during the morning, and misty rain fell during the greater part of the afternoon. There was, however, a large gathering of parents and children present, who worked energetically during the forenoon planting trees and flowering shrubs, etc. A working bee had been held about a week previously, when a considerable amount of work had been done towards repairing the ground for planting out a flower garden in front of the school. This was completed on Arbor Day, and now forms a very picturesque little playground. During the afternoon, while the showers were falling, an adjournment was made to the school building, where a programme of songs, etc. was gone through, and an interesting and appropriate address to the children by Dr Griffith. A very sumptuous afternoon tea put the finishing touch on the day’s outing. *** THE adjourned meeting of ratepayers in connection with the much vexed question of the extension of the Tram Coy’s lease was held in the Mechanics’ on Wednesday evening, and was well attended. Mr J. B. Clark was voted to the chair. After a good deal of discussion, it was moved that a solicitor’s opinion be obtained on behalf of ratepayers, to ask a number of questions submitted, dealing with the grievances and that a further meeting be held to take necessary steps and place the same before the shire council. The report of a sub-committee appointed to deal with lighting up the streets was read and it was moved that the recommendations be forwarded to the council.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

The Lee Majors’ guide to good housekeeping By Stuart McCullough WWLMD? All my life, I have tried to live up to a certain standard as if an indelible code has been forever imprinted on my soul. Sure, you can choose to float through this world like a twig in a flooded gutter or you can take a stand and actually believe in something. I, for one, have pledged my allegiance to a way of living that has at its heart certain principles – gallantry, nobility and high quality stunt-work. Is it a cult? Perhaps. Is it an organised religion? There’s nothing organised about it. It is, in fact, a simple question that has guided me through my life so far. That question is: WWLMD? Or, to set it out in full, what would Lee Majors do? I didn’t have too many heroes growing up. I idolised The Beatles but they’d already well and truly split. My favourite footballer was Carlton’s Rod Ashman but I have no idea why. I suspect it was a random selection. I was probably engaged in some highlevel football card swap – maybe down by the oval, maybe behind the shelter shed – when I was pressed to give an answer. Ashman was a short, slightly stocky utility player with a beard and looked like he should have been playing bass for The Little River Band. My real heroes were, in truth, all on television. And of all the heroes I found on the little screen, none was more important than Lee Majors. I first encountered him as Colonel Steve Austin in The Six Million Dollar Man. As far as I was concerned, he was worth every cent. An astronaut

severely injured in an accident, he was rebuilt with a series of bionic parts picked up from the local Tandy outlet. The use of the bionic powers was always accompanied by a distinct sound effect and slow motion camera work. Once the sound effect took hold and everything slowed down, you knew Majors was about to let the bad guys have it.

Austin’s image but also a spin-off series. Just as Happy Days begat Laverne and Shirley, Cheers led to Frasier and The Nuremburg Trials begat Big Brother, The Six Million Dollar Man gave us the Bionic Woman. But bionic or not, the one thing Majors couldn’t leap over was low ratings and both shows were cancelled in 1978. Some lights burn too bright and cannot be ignored. So it was with Lee Majors who would rise phoenixlike from the ashes of The Six Million Dollar Man and become The Fall Guy. In his new show, Majors may have looked, sounded and acted exactly like Steve Austin but he was, in fact, Colt Seavers who, with his trusty sidekick Howie Munson, would roam around the countryside in a ute picking up crooks for parole violation in exchange for money. Charming. It must be said that with names like Colt Seavers and Howie Munson, there must have been a rule in the early 1980s that all television characters had to be named as if they were part of the adult entertainment industry. Classic shows of the era – The A-Team, A Country Practice, maybe even The Love Boat – were all about action. It was here that The Fall Guy’s premise came to glorious fruition. As a stuntman, it stood to reason that Majors would perform a whole bunch of stunts. This was hugely influential in the playground as my classmates goaded each other into performing acts of insanity. Generally, this involved going “tree to tree”, which required you to get from one end of the playground to

Most significantly of all, he did it while wearing a stylish nylon tracksuit. I also owned a nylon tracksuit, and sometimes thought I might have bionic powers. To this day, I do nearly all my running in slow motion. Such was the success of The Six Million Dollar Man that it produced not only lunch boxes and thermoses emblazoned with Colonel Steve

the other without touching the ground. This necessitated throwing yourself from one limb to another, forever at the risk of plunging to earth. If not for Lee Major, I can honestly say that I’d never have gone tree to tree. But if working a second job as, ostensibly, some kind of paid vigilante doesn’t sound like much of a role model, then take a closer look. The splendour started with the show’s theme song The Unknown Stuntman, performed by Lee Majors himself. To be frank, Majors had the kind of pipes that, in The Voice terms, would be unlikely to turn any of those big red chairs, but it mattered not. Rather, it’s the fact that Majors was willing to turn his hand to anything that I admired. I doubt it stopped there. He probably did the catering, too, preparing sandwiches and fruit platters for the cast and crew each evening. It’s true, though, that Majors always invested his characters with a certain quality: namely, immobility. Blessed with the constitution of a concrete wombat, there wasn’t a blow Majors couldn’t absorb without a hair losing its place. I learned a lot from him. He wasn’t the greatest of actors but he was prepared to have a go. When things are difficult and obstacles seem insurmountable, I often find myself taking a deep breath and asking: what would Lee Majors do? Then, I take a step back and jump – in glorious slow motion while making a strange sound effect noise – right over all my troubles. Because, when all is said and done, it’s not about being bionic. It’s just about giving it your best. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance MARC Hunter was without doubt one of Australia’s most charismatic rock icons for over two decades as lead singer of Dragon with its string of hits including April Sun in Cuba, Get That Jive, Sunshine, Are You Old Enough?, Rain and more. He quit the band in 1979, began recording solo with some members of The Reels backing him and had his first chart success later that year with Island Nights. This was followed by Big City Talk, Hollywood, Young Years and more. On 17 July 1998, Hunter lost his battle with throat cancer at age 44. To mark the 25th anniversary of his death, there will be a tribute in the Gershwin Room at the Espy Hotel in St Kilda at 8pm on Wednesday 17 July. Guests include John Swan, Wilbur Wilde, John Dallimore, Mick Pealing, Dale Ryder, Brian Mannix and Alex Formosa Baudo. Tickets: www.oztix.com.au *** ROCK veterans Status Quo will be celebrating the release of their 100th single Bula Bula Quo after almost 46 years since the debut single Pictures of Matchstick Men. www.statusquo. co.uk *** THE Sopranos has returned to the top of the bestseller lists as fans flock to remember, or to discover, the work of James Gandolfini. The actor died of a heart attack in Italy last month. Although he had a part in the Oscarnominated Zero Dark Thirty, Gandolfini was most loved for his role as mob boss Tony Soprano in the television series. www.onlocationtours.com/sopranos *** HEAVY metal rockers Black Sabbath have scored their first No 1 album in the United Kingdom in more than 43 years. Black Sabbath, fronted by Ozzy Osbourne, last achieved the feat with their second release, Paranoid, in 1970.

This album featured classic rock tracks Iron Man and War Pigs. The new album, 13, reunites Osbourne, Tony Lommi and Geezer Butler after 35 years. www.blacksabbath. com *** AFTER winning a Helpmann Award and playing to more than 100,000 people in Australia and New Zealand, The Man in Black is returning to its premiere home at Melbourne’s Ath-

enaeum. Australian rock legend Tex Perkins will once again blast the bluestone walls of Melbourne’s oldest theatre as he tells the Johnny Cash story for a limited season from 19-21 July at the theatre. Perkins will bring Johnny Cash’s tough life and legacy of powerful hit songs to life as he takes the stage with all the sorrowful intensity of The Man himself, delivering aching renditions of 24 of Cash’s greatest hits including

Ring of Fire, I Walk the Line, Folsom Prison Blues, Sunday Mornin’ Coming Down, Get Rhythm, A Boy Named Sue, Hey Porter and others. Tickets: 132 849. www.themanin black.com.au *** ON the day his debut album More Than a Dream was released, it was announced Australia’s newest star Harrison Craig would be doing a national concert tour, called “More Than a Dream”. Touring in September, October and November, the freshly crowned “Voice of Australia” will bring his beautiful vocals and inspiring song selection to some of the nation’s best venues. Beginning in Brisbane on 27 September, Craig will perform in every major capital city as well as many regional centres. The tour will feature the outstanding performances that millions of viewers tuned in to see each week on the Nine Network show The Voice. During the series, seven of Craig’s performances made the iTunes top 10, with four tracks reaching No 1 spot. Fans will have the chance to hear Can’t Help Falling in Love, Unchained Melody, It Had Better Be Tonight and his own original single More Than a Dream, along with other favourites such as You Raise Me Up and his newfound hit Unconditional. Craig will be accompanied by a full band and spectacular stage production, and will also be supported by special guests. He performs at the Palms at Crown on 1 and 2 October. Tickets on sale now. www.harrison craigofficial.com *** A&M Records will release a new album of original material from Sting, entitled The Last Ship, on 20 September. The album was inspired by Sting’s forthcoming play of the same name and explores the themes of homecoming and self-discovery, drawing on his memories of growing up in the

sees me writing nice things about my Magpies, he can hone in on me. People make these decisions and you can never trust “people” in positions of power. I’m guessing some million “people” have access to “the life and boring times” of one small sardine named Cliff Ellen. There’s already evidence of accessed telephone and internet records without authority and nobody appears to be accountable. Terrorism is one thing but freedom and privacy are values we surely must uphold. The likes of “are you with us or against us?” or “if you’ve got nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about” are smokescreens. Disturbing. *** THE many reasons submitted for the downward spiral of my once mighty Magpies since replacing Mick with former champion footballer Nathan Buckley (injuries; losing Davis, Dawes and Wellingham; gaining Lynch and Russell) combined with double Dutch footyspeak of higher standards: allowing too many goals, winning fewer quarters, losing contested possessions, lack of pressure on the ball, wanting the ball more, focus on controlling the ball, transition out of defence, loss of ability to penetrate and process-orientated nonsense all mask the obvious. As a coach, Nathan would make a very good assistant coach. *** SOPHIE’S always good value; darling

Sophie Mirabella on ABC’s Q&A; well cast, I’d think, in a Woody Allen film. In response to Liberal Party bias from the Murdoch press, Sophie cited ABC bias; a common thread from the Coalition, but why? As a regular watcher of ABC news and current affairs, I see straight down the line fairness, even allowing for Leigh Sales’s rude questioning of both sides. We plebs scream for a degree of balance come nighttime after the daily brutal attacks from Rupert’s media men and women. Alternatively if they privatise the ABC we could be lucky and see Andrew Bolt replacing menacing Leigh? Lah-de-dah. *** A VOTE for the Greens is a vote for “asylum seekers, climate change and the rights of the Aboriginal people”. Very sweet but aren’t they all promising the same insolvables? I have an affectionate spot for the Greens, many moving into my old neighbourhoods of Northcote, Fitzroy and Collingwood thus transporting them to upmarket housing, boutique hotels and free of ugly football teams. What could be nicer than walking the dog on the once-hallowed turf of the Fitzroy football ground? *** HE’S so busy, isn’t he? He’s everywhere, putting Everywhere Eddie into the shade. Mt Martha, Phillip Island, Flinders, even Tootgarook, if you don’t

mind. Why would anyone go to Tootgarook? It’s all there in the Flinders Community News winter 2013 edition eightpage pamphlet. I speak, of course, of federal MP for Flinders, Shadow Minister for Climate Action, Environment and Heritage Greg Hunt, which I prefer to shorten to “Handsome Greggy” in the interests of saving time. He’s a good man is HG, featuring at Rosebud Plaza (a “World of Excitement” apparently) on 20 July from 10.30 till midday to lend you an ear. If HG makes one of his speeches, you’ll have all of 30 minutes to have a say. Complete with 25 great pictures of our man. *** HOW often have you been speeding and escaped the cameras? 500 times a year? Stop sooking about hidden cameras. I got booked last month hurrying through Tootgarook to the safety of downtown Rye; took it on the chin and the pocket. Cost balanced by cutting cigarettes by one a day for six months. *** VICTORIA is thinking of breaking ranks with the senior secondary school national curriculum by not offering an easier maths and English subject in the final year of VCE amid fears it could lead to “a lowering of literacy and numeracy standards”. Surely the choice of the less demanding “Essential Maths” is a good thing for many students? I dropped Ad-

By Gary Turner shadow of the Swan Hunters shipyard in Wallsend. His personal reminiscences illuminate universal truths – the complexity of relationships, the passage of time and the importance of family and community – to form an affecting, complex parable for modern times. The play, in which Sting has been immersed for nearly three years, debuts on Broadway in 2014 and is a collaboration with Tony Award winners Joe Mantello (director of Wicked, Other Desert Cities), John Logan (writer of Red, Skyfall) and Brian Yorkey (writer of Next to Normal). The Last Ship tells the story of the demise of the shipbuilding industry in 1980s Newcastle, which had shaped and overshadowed the city, its development and its community.

A Grain of Salt JULIA’S concession speech was top shelf, underlining what was missing during her tenure. We needed more, much more on television shows like the ABC’s 7.30, if for nothing else than to understand the person alongside her policies. Maybe she tried, maybe the media was only interested in the destabilisation campaign and opinion polls. Voters may have been indoctrinated by the seemingly never-ending campaign of ridicule and, in this regard, her steeliness was to be admired, but more was needed in terms of her communicating with us. Julia follows in the footsteps of other PMs banished, with pride. Alas, perhaps we saw the real Julia; too late? Retire in comfort. “The hairdresser has left the building.” *** TENNIS champ Serena Williams’s comments about Maria Sharapova intrigued me. “It’s so boring. She’s still not going to be invited to the cool parties.” It must be difficult to go through life without invites to cool parties. What is a cool party? One with ambience? What is ambience? *** THIS security business has snuck up on us. The United States with its massive surveillance system; records of millions of phone calls and access to Google, Facebook and Yahoo users; our people pushing for the same powers; they simply have to suspect us?

Who decided on this ridiculous idea? *** QUICK thoughts: when you hear “economic development” from a politician, you know rubbish will follow.

Western Port teenager having ton of fun By Pat Foy THE Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association’s under-15s side had its first match of the United Kingdom tour on 1 July. The day began with a walk – a beautiful journey along the River Wear, a waterway surrounded by beautiful forest –and a sight to behold: a bunch of young Aussies dragging their cricket bags along its banks. Idyllic is the word that comes to mind. We took a turn down a dirt track and suddenly come on a picturesque oval with a magnificent old building in the background. This was Durham School. Founded by the Bishop of Durham, Thomas Langley, in 1414 as Durham Grammar School, it received royal foundation from King Henry VIII following the dissolution of the monasteries during the Protestant Reformation. The boarding school costs £20,000 a year, so it is a tad on the exclusive side. From a greenkeeper’s perspective, the playing surface was right up there with the MCG or at the very least Cerberus Golf Club; lovely manicured surfaces with not a blade of grass out of place. The peninsula boys were treated to a hot buffet lunch. It was a little surreal watching the students, complete with jackets and ties, selecting their plate of hot food. What happened to Vegemite sangers before a match? After lunch and warm up, it brought a smile to my face to see my son Matt Foy tossing the coin and another smile when he indicated to teammates we would have a bat. Being the proud parent, and not just soaking up the splendid surroundings, it was with a hopeful heart that I watched Matt stride out to open the batting and face the first ball of the innings. With my heart pounding, I started filming the proceedings. He was off his duck early and looking reasonably comfortable, which made it a little less nerve wracking. His batting partner James Le Brooy (Crackers) was looking even more solid and scoring a bit more freely than Matt. This suited Matt as he likes to get his eye in and just work the ball around rather than whack it. As a side note, Crackers’ brother was in the 2010 side that our late son Jack was selected in and is now playing District seconds at Frankston. The partnership yielded 50 runs with Matt contributing about 15, going along quite steadily. Next to the crease was arguably our best batsman, Tom Ewing, who was bowled for a golden duck. Now the Durham bowler was on a hat-trick and things were looking serious. The boys managed to survive but no real

partnerships were forming with a couple of the lads making five or six and then losing their wickets. Matt was still batting well, on about 30, and I must admit to thinking about a half-century; getting ahead of myself. Soon enough he made it to 50. It was really special. My wife Linda and I were as proud as punch as were his teammates and the other parents. It was a well-deserved 50 and a chanceless innings. The only downside was the battery on the camera had gone flat. Oh well, now I could sit back and just enjoy watching his knock. Sammy Fowler came in about six wickets down and the pair started to pick up runs, with boundaries coming regularly. They would’ve put on about 40 when Sam tried to hit one to Melbourne, only to miss it and see middle stump knocked over. Matt was seeing them pretty well by this stage and really taking control. I wandered over to the scorers to see what he’d made. They told me Matt was on 72 with four overs to go. I started to think “if he goes for it, he could possibly get a 100”. His coach, who was umpiring, must have had a word to him because out of nowhere he smashed three sixes in a row and all of a sudden was on 90 with three overs to go. I’m seriously thinking he’s going to ton up here. I was a bit concerned when he grabbed his shoulder after the last six as if he’d pulled a muscle but I’m thinking he could still get the hundred without having to whack them. He moved to 97 and received a ball straying down leg-side, which he sort of got onto but it didn’t go all the way to the boundary. He turned to come back for a comfortable three and everyone started clapping and cheering. Matt raised his bat to acknowledge the cheers. What a proud and exciting moment. My eyes were fairly moist at this stage and Linda and I were receiving just as many congratulations as Matt. Our young cricketer finished up on 110 not out in a team total of 198. We then went on to dismiss the opposition for 140 with Matt taking a catch in slips. He was too worn out to keep wickets and didn’t bowl either. After the game he was presented with a school tie as man of the match and there were lots of photos taken in front of the scoreboard. You could say it was a fair debut on English soil. It was an enjoyable walk back to the hotel. I thought I’d carry his bag. It seemed like the right thing to do.

Triumphant ton: Matt Foy stands in front of the scoreboard displaying his knock.

Edi-Asp down Seaford as Redlegs bounce back and top Sharks in a thriller PENINSULA LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly EDITHVALE-Aspendale achieved what it set out to do on Saturday against Seaford – simply get the four points. Eagles coach Troy Shannon said it was important for his side to beat the Peninsula League teams that had knocked over his team in the early part of the season. Bonbeach and Seaford were two sides that beat Edi-Asp in the early rounds and the Eagles have been able to respond in the return games. “I think it’s important to go through a season having beaten every side in the competition,” Shannon said. “That was our aim at the halfway mark and we are on track to achieve

it,” he said. Matt Kremmer made it two bags of goals in as many weeks with six majors on Saturday, while Adam Budge, another recruit, finished with three. Markham Johnson, all 6ft 10in (208cm) of him, dominated in the ruck, while Tims Mavric and Mannix dominated through the middle of the ground, along with Troy Ogier. With a full complement of players, the Eagles are a very good outfit. Seaford unveiled new recruit Nick Boswell, who walked out on Rosebud in Nepean League earlier this season. He is a fine addition for the Tigers and debuted with a best player performance. Darragh Chadwick also worked

hard for the Tigers while Tom Shaw contributed three majors. It was also good to see Kain Taylor back, playing in the reserves. The second of three games in the split round saw Mt Eliza bounce back from its shock hammering by Karingal last week to lead all afternoon and beat Bonbeach in a thriller. The Redlegs showed their intentions early in the clash when they booted six goals in the opening term, a far cry from last week’s performance. The second quarter was tight with just five points kicked, but the Redlegs extended the margin to 23 points at the long break. With Scott Lockwood booting four goals up to three-quarter time, and Sam Gill and Jimmy Clayton

dominating, Mt Eliza looked home. However, despite not having arguably the best player in the game in Shane McDonald, the Sharks came storming home in the last quarter. Bonbeach booted the only three goals of the term, as well as four behinds, but it was still two points short at the final siren. Mt Eliza was restricted to just one behind in the final 25 minutes. Mark Tyrell and Dylan Jones were outstanding for the Sharks, while Ricky Ferraro was also up and about. The win once again means the Redlegs go a game clear of the Sharks in the top five. Pines got back on the winners list on Saturday, leading all afternoon to beat Langwarrin.

Playing in front of a home crowd, the Pythons exploded in the second quarter, booting 3.5 to one behind to lead by 29 points at the halfway mark. The margin was extended to 41 points at the last change. Langwarrin made a fist of things in the final quarter, booting 3.4 to two behinds, eventually going down by 21 points. Shaun White booted three goals for the winners while Brendan Neville was best on the ground with two majors. Adam Maling and Nick Wilcox also continued their purple patch of form. Jason Curry was the Kangas’ best, playing a great game in defence, while Dan Riley and Andrew Withers also worked hard in the back line. Western Port News 9 July 2013

Hastings in trouble as Sorrento hands out a hiding, Dromana ‘steals’ win from Rye NEPEAN LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly HASTINGS coach Glenn Michie was summoned to the Hastings Football Club on Sunday afternoon following his side’s 82-point thumping at the hands of Sorrento in Nepean League’s split round. Michie, who resigned as coach three weeks ago and said he would leave at the end of the season, said he had no idea why he’d been called to the meeting. After the meeting, Michie said he would continue to coach for the remainder of the season. Hastings was totally outclassed by the Sharks. The Blues were six goals down at half-time, 11 goals behind at three-quarter time and 14 goals down by siren time. The Sharks had 40 scoring shots to Hastings’ 18, Leigh Treeby dominating

the scoreboard with four goals. Leigh Poholke and James Hallahan finished with three goals each. Sorrento had 11 goalkickers and Troy Schwarze and Ryan Jeffrey dominated. Tony Mirabella played a lone hand in attack for the Blues with five goals. He, Mick Cave and Pete Mawson were among the side’s best. Dromana stole a win from the jaws of defeat against Rye on Saturday. Outplayed for more than 90 per cent of the game, Dromana kicked the final two goals to win by four points. Rye’s season was on the line with a loss meaning it was no longer any chance of playing finals. The Demons were committed and played inspired football for 90 of the 100 minutes. The only lapses came in the first 10 minutes of the third quarter, when Dromana kicked three unanswered

goals and hit the front, and again in the final five minutes when Anthony Bruhn kicked his only two goals to get Dromana over the line. The Tigers played like movie stars for the most part. On the whole, they looked lethargic, lazy and uninterested. However, to be totally outplayed and still win says a lot about the team. According to Dromana coaching staff, players have been going through a “heavy load” (increased training program) in the past four weeks and it showed on Saturday. Dromana star Adam Hunter said after the match it had been difficult to stay motivated week after week, especially against struggling teams. He said that although Rye was always a big challenge, the team seemed flat during the match. Dromana people also claimed the umpires assisted Rye, especially Ben

Holmes, who kicked five goals, the majority from free kicks. I’m not sure if the rules have changed in the past week but my interpretation is that if a defender pushes two hands into the back of his opponent, it’s a free kick. The same thing happened for Bruhn when he put the Tigers in front. Dromana had three players who stood out from the rest – Shaun Clarke, Terry Wheeler and Ryan Slocombe, while Matt Neratzoglou presented all afternoon and finished with three goals. Rye had the best two players on the ground – Darren Booth and Adam Kirkwood; they were superb. Matty Sibberas shut down Toby Banks, who had just five possessions. Grant Wilson was very good in the ruck, along with Ryan Taylor, and Ben Holmes kicked five goals.

Frankston Bombers was still a long way from full strength on Saturday but it didn’t stop them handing out a 12goal hiding to Somerville. Leaping Zac Longham booted a career-high seven goals for the Bombers, who set up the win with a five-goal-to-zip opening term. Sam Drake was again sensational playing a key role in defence and Allan Williams played his best game for the club since crossing from Karingal. Jason Bedford found some of his early season form and booted two majors. The Eagles were never in the contest, despite the efforts of seasoned campaigners Leigh Stewart and Justin Farrelly. Jed Sutton continued his outstanding form. Jack Kennedy was the major contributor for the Eagles in the forward line with three goals.

Pirates go down to Dingley BASEBALL

Meates restricted the flow of runs as closer. Hits: Maskiell 2, Dowsett 2. Youngster Rhys Butler did well at CF. The 15-5 mercy rule applied, making it a short game for the Pirates.

Seniors A1 Mornington vs Dingley THE game and performance was better than the final result on a cold and blustery day. The Pirates were in it until late in the game in the round 11 clash. Josh Mulherin produced his usual capable effort and the bats provided plenty of opportunity. Final score was 2-12. Brendan Wilson and Nick Swanveld had multiple hits, and young Michael Potts played a great game.

B2 Mornington vs Dandenong Looking to hang on to fourth spot, B2 played top of the ladder Dandenong. The Pirates lost 16-5 due to insufficient hits and some errors. Next week’s game is against Cheltenham.

A2 Mornington vs Dingley The Pirates with only eight players took on league leaders Dingley. Mornington came out firing with Mitch Dunn, Matt Dunn and Kyle McDonald coming together to produce an early lead. Ryan Campbell pitched outstandingly for the Pirates, handing the ball to Matt Dunn with a 4-2 lead. A few Dingley hits found gaps and the league leaders ran out winners. All Pirates hit the ball with Kyle McDonald and Tristan Kay leading from the front. Joel Schultz, Mark Bullock and Jason Humbles chimed in for a few crucial at bats. It was by far A2’s best performance of the season. B1 Mornington vs Dandenong Dandenong 22 d Mornington 2. The Pirates did not bat well against the Angels’ youthful pitcher. Those who got into scoring positions were LOB. It was a rocky start on the mound by McGough but J

Diabetes no barrier to top footy SOMERVILLE footballer Luke Dalmau has been chosen in a Victorian schoolboys’ team that is touring the Northern Territory next month. Luke plays in Somerville Junior Football Club’s under-15 team and is a member of the Peninsula Stingrays development squad. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just before his ninth birthday but this hasn’t stopped him becoming a good player. Pictured in action in his home town blue and gold, Luke will wear the number 15 jumper against other state schoolboy teams in Darwin from 10 to 18 August.

C2 Mornington vs Dingley Six scattered hits resulting in only one run saw the C2 fall well short of Dingley’s 14 runs. All three pitchers were used: Van Le Blanc, Brandon Wyatt and EJ (one pitch) Tobias did a good job and Phoebe Dowsett caught well. Juniors Round 10, Saturday 29 June Under-13 Mornington Black vs Cheltenham Blue Cheltenham Blue 10 defeated Mornington 3. It was a close-fought game from the start but the defence gremlins crept in and cost 7 runs in the third inning. Bald and Pierson again pitched well. Safe hits to Knox and Tedesco. Doubles to Pierson and Bald. The outfield of Tak, Hosking and Lewis did well under pressure. Under-11 Mornington vs Berwick Berwick 6 defeated Mornington 3. The Pirates played at home for only the second time this season. Berwick hit out early but with tight pitching, Pirates slowly clawed their way back, only to fall short.
