The future of Hastings Council eat and brief

Saved

A PHILLIP Island Nature Park volunteer rescues a young short-tailed shearwater, or muttonbird, that strayed too far from its nesting burrow. The bird is one of hundreds of thousands about to leave Western Port for a perilous, 15,000-kilometre journey. See ‘Visitors take flight on Anzac Day’, Page 3.

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council comes to Hastings on Monday for a community council meeting and briefings that will tell a lot about the future of the district. The meeting starts at 5pm at Hastings Community Hub with a briefing about progress at the Port of Hastings from port development authority CEO Mike Lean. Premier Denis Napthine has promised $110 million over four years for “completion of preferred scope”, design, transport connection planning, early work to support environmental approval processes, business case development and “procurement and delivery strategies”. He said the money would help “complete the work required to start building a world-class container port with land-side transport connections at Hastings”. Community leaders say Hastings and the wider Western Port region need the port after the loss of jobs from a struggling BlueScope Steel hammered the region’s confidence earlier this year and in 2012. At 5.30 there will be an update on the Hastings Neighbourhood Renewal Program, which was started in 2005 and is due to end this year. Hastings Neighbourhood Renewal is one of 19 state government projects to revive disadvantaged communities by bringing together the resources and ideas of residents, governments, businesses and community groups to tackle disadvantage in areas with concentrations of public housing. A buffet dinner starts at 6 and the council meeting is at 7. Area councillor David Garnock said a flyer about the meeting had been distributed to “lots of community groups in Cerberus Ward”. He said there would be an opportunity for residents to mingle with councillors at the dinner. “Many residents may be interested in staying for the first or second item of the formal council meeting when we will receive a briefing from [director of sustainable infrastructure] Alex Atkins on the capital infrastructure projects that have been completed in the Cerberus Ward over the past year,” Cr Garnock said. Mr Atkins would also present a list of all new capital works planned for the ward in the coming year, he said. People wanting to attend the dinner must RSVP with Kylie Osborne at the shire on 5950 1137 by Wednesday.

Bananas and just enough time to get on a board THE sun is shining and Richard Stokes is acting like someone waiting for a train that is not running on time. But rather than being on a railway station he is standing on a hillside at Shoreham, staring at the sea. The tide is coming in, wind is from the north and Mr Stokes knows the conditions are right for his favourite surf break. “We could be in Coffs Harbour,” he says, pointing to a banana tree growing in his orchard, which also includes macadamias, apples, oranges, lemons and stone fruits. A healthy bunch of bananas, of the lady fingers variety, are this year’s prized crop. He bought the tree from a commercial nursery some years ago and attributes its edible output to “our prolonged warm spell”. “The banana tree has been there five or six years and had fruit for the past four years, but this is the best crop yet,” Mr Stokes said. “It’s super dooper this year.” He has just enough time, and patience, to climb a ladder to pose next to the bananas before one more quick check of the swell. He grabs his board and heads off to the reef and its peeling right-hander. Keith Platt

Visitors take flight on Anzac Day By Ilona Fenner ON or around Anzac Day, residents and visitors to Phillip and French islands will witness an extraordinary migratory ritual that is played out annually by about one million shorttailed shearwaters, or muttonbirds. The plucky birds complete a spectacular migration of 15,000 kilometres, setting out with a strong wind that carries them up the east coast of Australia, then through the Pacific to Japan and finally the Aleutian Islands off the coast of Alaska. The adult birds leave behind their chicks, still covered in brown down and almost twice their own weight. For the next two to three weeks the chicks stay in their burrows, living off their stored fat and oil. With the aid of a strong westerly wind the chicks begin their first migration, attempting to catch their parents. Some make it and some land on the roads, to be crushed by passing vehicles, or fall to their death in the sea. The departure in April and May completes a cycle that begins when shearwaters arrive on the shores of Western Port around 24 September every year. They stay for nearly six months to rest, build their burrows and mate, each pair producing one large egg. This ritual has been played out over the centuries and shearwaters have been valued by both the indigenous Boonwurrung people for their meat and perceived medicinal qualities and by the early European settlers for their eggs. Unfortunately, unsustainable overharvesting by early European settlers

Island home: Tortoise Head and other grassy headlands on French Island provide ideal burrow sites for short-tailed shearwaters as well as take-off platforms for their annual migration.

threatened the survival of the bird colonies. Since then population numbers have dropped dramatically due to a combination of farming, soil erosion, foxes, roaming dogs, feral cats, introduced grasses and industrial development. The shearwater’s somewhat perilous existence is also threatened by a number of natural predators including Pacific gulls, ravens, hawks and eagles, with their eggs being sought by silver gulls, lizards and copperhead snakes. At sea, they fall victim to fishing nets, oil spills, plastic pollution and overfishing. As a result, short-tailed shearwaters are now protected by state law and international treaty.

The species is one of a number benefiting from the Ramsar Protection Program, coordinated by the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority. Phillip Island Nature Park, with help from the Ramsar program, provides a sanctuary for the shearwaters, protecting them through predator control programs, habitat management and education. Shearwaters are a favourite food for feral cats and the program has provided the resources to enable year round control of their numbers to reduce the level of threat. The program has also supported extensive weed control on the island, suppressing the kikuyu grass that pre-

vents shearwaters from digging their burrows as well as removing boxthorn that can impale them. Resources from the Ramsar program have also enabled partner Parks Victoria to conduct extensive feral cat control programs on French Island over the past three winters. Their work has resulted in far greater protection for the colony of shearwaters living on French Island at Tortoise Head. The program has provided its partners with the resources to produce coordinated landscape scale pest and weed control outcomes, with the result that the character of rare and precious wetlands is being protected and habitat for migratory seabirds in Western Port preserved. It is helping to ensure that shorttailed shearwaters will have a safe and friendly destination for landing and breeding in the region for many years to come. The Ramsar Protection Program is funded through the federal government’s Caring for our Country and is part of the government’s commitment to the international Ramsar Convention, which strives for the conservation and wise use of all wetlands. Parks Victoria and the Phillip Island Nature Park are both partners in the Ramsar program, working to protect habitat for shearwaters and other migratory birds in the region. Ilona Fenner is the communications officer for the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority’s Ramsar project.

Baxter assault A BAXTER man aged 44 has been charged with aggravated burglary over the alleged assault of a woman at a house in Baxter. Detective Sergeant David Roach of Frankston sexual offences and child abuse investigation team said police would allege the man broke into the house in Baxter-Tooradin Rd about 2.30am on Sunday 7 April and assaulted a female. The man was arrested by SOCAIT police on Friday 12 April and later charged. He was bailed to appear in Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 27 June.

Man charged A 48-YEAR-old Baxter man has been charged with drink driving offences in relation to a collision that left his female partner in hospital with serious injuries. The collision occurred about 6.30pm on Sunday 10 March in Baxter-Tooradin Rd, Baxter.

Fire restrictions WHILE the Department of Sustainability and Environment is continuing planned burns at Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula Shire has reminded property owners to check its regulations before burning off. The official fire danger period ended on Monday. Burning off regulations apply across the peninsula and are based on property size. Residents may need a permit. The shire’s local law prohibits burning off on properties of less than 1500 square metres. Information on the burning off regulations is at www.mornpen.vic. gov.au or call 1300 850 600.

FRANKSTON Council is urging the state government to electrify the rail line to Baxter as highlighted in the Network Development Plan – Metropolitan Rail. The Public Transport Victoria planning document examines how Melbourne’s train system needs to evolve to meet commuters’ future needs. Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said council had been calling for the electrification of the line from Frankston to Baxter since the last state election. “Frankston is a designated central activity area and as such it is important Mornington Peninsula residents have affordable public transport to allow them to access our hospitals, retail hub, the new regional aquatic centre, their workplaces, Monash University, Chisholm Institute and Frankston Arts Centre,” Cr Mayer said. “This will also free up valuable land at the Frankston transit interchange currently used as commuter car parking for Frankston and peninsula residents.” Cr Mayer said the land could be used for an “upgraded railway station, a new bus interchange, a new multideck car park, safe, reliable and clean services, new housing options, improved amenity for Young St and the creation of development sites that will stimulate and facilitate private sector investment in Frankston centre”.

Anzac display HASTINGS-Western Port Historical Society is holding a display in Hastings Library from 15-29 April to commemorate Anzac Day. Items include photographs with copies available from the society’s museum in Skinner St, which is open every Sunday 2-4pm and Wednesday 10am-1pm. Society president David Mason will lay a wreath at the ceremony in Hastings on 25 April. The museum’s next coffee morning is at 10.15am on Thursday 2 May.

LETTERS Dredging will be needed WESTERN Port is so shallow that 42 per cent of it is intertidal. It would require massive dredging if an expanded Port of Hastings is to go ahead. Premier Denis Napthine said that a port in Western Port was preferred over the Bay West option [in Port Phillip] because it would need significant dredging, but Western Port would need significant dredging too. This has terrible risks as suspended sediment can kill the plants and animals that are keeping Western Port healthy and would cause loss of seagrass, algal blooms and eutrophication (excess nutrients that stimulate excessive plant growth). In the Port of Hastings Strategic Land Use and Transport Access Corridor Planning Study, the Department of Infrastructure, Port of Hastings and Maunsell stated the existing channel was 14.3 metres deep at low tide and tidal assistance would be required at times to allow large vessels access to the Port of Hastings, a scheduling constraint. “Deepening of the channel [from 14.3m] to 16m would provide greater flexibility,” the report said. The channel is a long way from the proposed wharf and would require dredging, As well, significant dredging has been proposed just to establish the wharf. Drawings from pages 10 to 14 show areas of 1.5km to more than 4km long, and 600m to 750m wide marked to depict potential dredging areas. There is an 800m basin marked in seagrass flats for dry bulk, unpackaged bulk cargo such as grain and coal. Dredging effects the immediate environment, which suffers short- and long-term effects. This is especially ill-advised with significant vegetation such as mangroves, saltmarsh and seagrass. It will create suspended sediments and stimulate algae growth. Epiphytal algae grows on seagrass and kills it. Suspended sediment blocks the light and smothers seagrass and other life. Seagrass, like plants on land, is vital to provide many ecological functions. Unlike plants on land, if these few species of seagrass die there is nothing (like weeds) to replace them. Western Port’s health is linked to the health of seagrass. It is not just a matter of losing a few

species as Western Port could eutrophy. The threat of eutrophication was outlined in the Melbourne Water Western Port Scientific Study 2013. Water in Western Port moves on each tide a distance of 10 to 20 kilometres and, over weeks, circulates around French Island like a giant washing machine. The inevitable polluting effects of port development and operation – oil spills, introduced marine pests and ever-necessary dredging – are not confined to the port area: a pollution event anywhere in Western Port would in a short time affect the whole bay. It is host to thousands of marine species, a breeding ground for ocean fish. Recreational fishing is a big industry in the Western Port area. Tourism, largely from Melbourne, is a cornerstone of the economy of this region and relies on a healthy bay. The penguin colony on Phillip Island is Victoria’s most valuable tourist attraction. Recreation on safe beaches is a vital part of the health of Melbourne’s people. We expect that a full and detailed environmental impact assessment will be carried out on the proposed three-stage project before any start is made on stage one. The alternative solution should be a national transport plan. This should probably involve port rationalisation and investment in rail transport. Karri Giles, president Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council

Worth preserving I AM concerned about the development of the Port of Hastings (“State cash for port”, The News, 9/4/13). Western Port has so far escaped the excesses of industrialisation. Premier Denis Napthine has taken this as a reason to develop Western Port. My belief is we have an area worth preserving for future generations on the doorstep of a large modern city. To turn Western Port into an industrialised zone with the inevitable death of native flora and fauna and the desecration of the beaches is beyond belief. Everyone should go and see, look and walk with your kids, dogs and friends along the beaches facing French Island, Phillip Island and

the peninsula as they will be gone forever if the expanded port proceeds. Russell Ker, Pearcedale

Missed ferry

I THINK your article (“Islanders ferry unhappy”, The News, 5/3/13) missed the main point about cancellations of the French Island ferry. [Ferry operator] Frank Denvir claims that WorkSafe Victoria will not allow him to run when the wind is more than 25 knots. However, that does not explain why he decided to send his ferry crew home on Saturday 2 March because of predicted winds. At ferry time, 4-6 pm, it was flat calm in Western Port. One resident went to collect his family stranded at Stony Point in his 4.2m boat. He found other islanders also waiting there, so he did a second trip in conditions supposedly “too dangerous” for a 25m ferry. Mr Denvir says that the construction of floating pontoons at the jetties would make them safer in rough weather. This is true. So would the provision of a gangplank on the ferry. All Western Port ferries from the 1890s to 1994 had gangplanks and we rarely had services cancelled due to rough weather until the arrival of Mr Denvir with his boats, which I don’t believe are suitable for Western Port conditions. There are no gangplanks on the ferries, there is no provision for luggage (it remains stacked outside in the rain) and in my opinion the vessels do not have enough protection for berthing in rough weather. French Islanders have put up with these inconveniences for too long. Name and address supplied Editor: Frank Denvir said ferry skippers decide if the service will be cancelled based on the Bureau of Meteorology forecasts published on its website. On the cancelled Saturday, ferries operated in morning but stopped running at midday based on the forecast for Western Port of increasing wind opposing the direction of the tide.

Feel free to dump green waste SHIRE residents can dump green waste free of charge on the weekend at three waste disposal centres. The service is for shire residents only, with green waste accepted from domestic vehicles and trailers only. No commercial vehicles or green waste from commercial operations will be accepted. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s waste centres are in McKirdys Rd, Tyabb; Watt Rd, Mornington; and Truemans Rd, Rye, and will be open 8am-5pm Saturday and Sunday. A shire spokesman said delays were expected at the Mornington centre and residents were encouraged to use the Tyabb centre to avoid delays. Mornington can only accept up to three cubic metres of green waste per trip. Proof of residency is required, for example a driving licence or a copy of a rates notice. Green waste includes all types of garden waste and untreated timber. Residents in urban areas can also dispose of green waste every second week through the shire’s kerbside green waste bin at a cost of $130 a year.

Dump TVs, too Residents and small businesses now can dump computer equipment, televisions and computer monitors free of charge. The shire has formed a partnership with DHL, QLS Ecycle Solutions and Ozanam Enterprises to collect so-called “e-waste” at its waste centres in Tyabb, Mornington and Rye. There is a limit of 15 items per drop off. For more information about the free green waste service, kerbside green bin collection or e-waste dumping, call the shire on 1300 850 600, 5950 1000 or visit www.mornpen.vic.gov.au

Founding club officers in the 1930s had the names of Perry and Bell with Nilsson, Allen, Peck Whiston, Harding, Balke and Gorrie being added in the 1940s and 1950s. “Sporting clubs have often been described as the heart of townships; many thanks must be paid to our club’s early office bearers and club life members for establishing the groundwork for future generations to carry on,” club president Paddy Cook said. “Through their hard work and foresight the small township of Crib Point established its own football club, which quickly became part of the community. “From 1933 to 2013 committees have passed on the baton for the next generation to follow and continue providing a sporting service to our community of Crib Point and surrounding areas. “The club’s 80 years have provided supporters with many wonderful memories, created many lifelong friendships and seen some very talented footballers. “Over the years many of the league’s best and fairest award winners and century goalkickers have been involved with Crib Point. “Our two most noted local footballers who went on to play at the highest level are Alan Mannix, who played 112 games for Footscray, and Toby Thurstans, who played 110 games for Port Adelaide Power.” Crib Point made its finals debut in 1956 under coach Marty McDonnell.

On top: Crib Point footballers outside the original clubrooms after their 1973 premiership win.

It was the first of four consecutive final appearances that resulted in Firsts premiership flags in 1957 and 1958. The club opened its social rooms in 1958 after a donation from Bern and Gwen Marshall enabled it to buy an unused building from the former wartime RAAF training base at Somers. Max Tolson and a team of helpers moved the building from Somers to Crib Point Recreation Reserve. Mr Cook believes Crib Point was the first football club on the Mornington Peninsula to have its own social rooms. “Over the years there have been many working bees and building projects to renovate and improve club facilities. The original air force building still forms part of today’s clubrooms.” At the end of the 1962 season Crib Point left the Mornington Peninsula Football League and joined the Nepean League because it could not field a reserves grade team. The club regularly played in the finals, winning premierships in 1963

and 1965 (Thirds), 1967 (Seconds) and 1966, 1967 and 68 (Firsts). A new grandstand and changing rooms built in the mid-1960s were named the T F Whiston stand. Later that same decade the club adopted the name Crib Point/Flinders Football Club because of the many players and members who joined after the closure of Flinders club. In the late 1960s through to the early 1970s some club home games were played at Flinders Recreation Reserve. Members of the women’s committee would make meals at home on Thursday selection nights, delivering them to the clubrooms. A kitchen was included in extension in the late 1970s. The Firsts won premiership flags in 1973 and 1977 and in 1978 the club made the finals in all three grades. Consecutive final appearances continued in the 1980s, with the Seconds premiers in 1980 and the Firsts in 1985. However, the late 1980s saw on-field

Sore Feet or Legs? Call

performances drop as the club began to rebuild its playing list. It was 1990 before any improvement was shown with The Seconds participating in finals. The teams appeared in several finals series from the early 1990s through to the mid-2000s, including some notable preliminary and grand final losses. Success returned in 2001 with the Firsts taking the premiership. In 2003 the Thirds lost the grand final and for the second time in the club’s history the following year saw all three grades play in the finals. From 1983 to 2005 the league structures were being altered and for a period of time a promotion/relegation system was in place. The club was elevated to the Mornington Peninsula Football League in 1986 and during the 1990s formed part of the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League’s southern division. In 2000 and 2002 the club was elevated to the MPNFL Peninsula Division and in 2003 the club returned to Nepean.

In 2012 a Mornington Peninsula Shire community building project brought the netball, football and cricket clubs together along with the refurbishment of the clubrooms, kitchen and amenities. The club is now known as the Crib Point Football and Netball Club. “In 2009 the league created the opportunity for clubs to expand and introduced a netball league, a concept quickly adopted by many clubs,” Mr Cook said. “Girls from within our football club and from our area quickly and enthusiastically signed up to play.” He said the netballers played in three grades “and to their credit we have been well represented in finals”. “In 2009 we saw B grade as grand finalists and 2011-12 saw A grade reach the preliminary finals.” For information about Saturday’s reunion or the club’s 80th anniversary call Ken Marshall on 0427 095 702 or Paddy Cook on 0448 922 659.

Plan for Pt Nepean is an ‘investment’ By Keith Platt A NEW master plan is designed to provide “appropriate investment” at Point Nepean’s “underutilised” 17-hectare quarantine precinct. When releasing the plan on Sunday, Environment and Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith said it was “central to breathing new life” into the historic precinct. “Due to the site’s former use as a military barracks, many of its 50 plus buildings have been locked up from public access over many decades,” Mr Smith said. “Appropriate and sensitive private investment is critical in ensuring the long-term survival of the site’s historic and culturally significant buildings.” But it is the height and use of new buildings that most concerns those who have been involved in past battles to prevent over-development at Point Nepean. “High rise seems to be a fetish of this government,” Chris Smyth of the Victorian National Parks Association said. “New buildings should be no higher than those already at Point Nepean.” Mr Smyth said heritage buildings should be “adapted” or new buildings limited to the footprints of any buildings slated for demolition. “We want to see a diverse mix of uses in the park, not just a major enterprise that could fall over.” Some proposals made before control of the land was handed to Victoria were “half-baked”. Mr Smyth said the VNPA would not object to the demolition of two blocks built by the army in the 1970s, although it would prefer the sites to remain unused to “open up the view”. Ryan Smith said the latest plan was “a key step in securing private sector investment to help preserve this important part of our history, ensuring

it is cared for and accessible to the Victorian public”. The government wanted to “strike the right balance between preserving the historical, natural and cultural values of the national park and ensuring the buildings in the Quarantine Station precinct are able to support an appropriate mix of tourism and other opportunities, including potential cultural, recreational and educational uses”. Mr Smith said a commercial expression of interest would be marketed locally, nationally and internationally. “A shortlisted group of organisations will be invited to submit a formal proposal on the future uses of the site. “We want to see proposals that cater for people from all backgrounds, that are affordable, accessible and that make a contribution to the local economy by creating jobs and tourism opportunities on the peninsula.” A report by the Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission last month recommended “sensible and sensitive developments in national parks” to unlock Victorian tourism. Victoria Tourism Industry Council chief executive Dianne Smith said the plan “shows real vision for a site that has so much unfulfilled potential and sets out sensible and appropriate options for Point Nepean”. “There must be a collaborative approach to implementing this master plan from all stakeholders, including industry, and state and local government, to ensure the site is developed into a sustainable tourism destination that considers the environmental sensitivities of the area.” The Point Nepean master plan is available at www.dse.vic.gov.au and a community information session will be held 10am-2pm at the Quarantine Station on Saturday 4 May.

Men get crafty at festival By Fran Henke ALL stall positions have been filled for this year’s Western Port Craft Fest with a new speciality: a “crafty men’s tent”. The tent will feature woodwork, wood turning and gemstones. Hastings Men’s Shed will also have a table with its members showing off their craft skills, contrasting to the popular crafts of women within the church hall. Many of the stallholders are among those who made last year’s first craft fest such a success, said co-organiser Sandra Beckett. “Peninsula craftspeople will be showing off new skills such as decoupage, scrapbooking, machine embroidery and silk dyeing,” Mrs Beckett said. “Items will be for sale at most stalls. And with

Mother’s Day only a few weeks away, this should be a good opportunity to buy unique gifts,” she said. Talks in the chapel have been arranged at hourly intervals on beading, embroidery, decoupage, scrapbooking and jewellery. The talks are free of charge. School-age children will be catered for with special craft sessions throughout the day in the small cottage nearby. Morning and afternoon teas will be available as well as sandwiches. Entry is $2. Profits will go toward restoration of the historic Hastings Chapel. The festival is in Hastings Uniting Church hall, corner of Marine Pde and Hodgins Rd, Hastings on April 27 from 10am-4pm.

OBITUARY

Journey from war-torn Europe to Hastings OBITUARY By Peter McCullough BERT Koning died on 13 March at age 87. He had been a resident of Hastings since 1953 and was well known and widely respected. His funeral service was conducted by the Rev Alex Packett at Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Hastings on 19 March. During the service, tributes were paid by former councillor Brian Stahl, who spoke on behalf of the general community, and Roy Briggs, who represented the senior citizens club. The eulogy was given by Ben Judd, Bert’s eldest grandson, who was supported by his brothers Matthew and Mark. This obituary is based on the eulogy. Egbert Koning – known as “Bert” – was born in Holland on 27 January 1926. The only child of Jan and Janne Koning, he was named after his grandfather, who died before Bert was born. Bert attended primary and secondary school in Holland and started an economics degree at university; this perhaps explains his lifelong interest in figures and numbers. By this time Holland would have been an occupied country and after only six months at university, Bert joined his father in a potato exporting business throughout Europe. In quieter times he worked in a grocery store. Not long after the war finished, Bert and his father were travelling in France when they made friends with two Danish citizens who invited them to visit should they be passing through that country. In due course Bert and his parents were invited to Denmark for Christmas in 1948. Also invited to the celebrations were a young Danish cousin named Esther and her father. Bert and Esther became pen friends but romance quickly blossomed and they became engaged on 31 December 1949. Esther and Bert were young and adventurous and things were still grim in Europe after the war. Accordingly, Bert decided to come to Australia in 1951 to check the place out. He liked what he saw and sent for Esther who was still home in Denmark. She arrived in 1952. Bert and Esther did not have much money but both were hardworking. Initially they lived in Orange in NSW, working seven days a week and doing any work that was available. They married in Orange and then moved to West Preston where their first child, Jane, was born in 1953. Later that year the family moved to Hastings and Bert started working at Andy Gowan’s bakery. This was followed by years with Austral Bakeries, followed by Home

Pride Bakery. The last few years of his working life were spent at Lysaght (BlueScope). Bert and Esther’s second child, John, was born in Hastings in 1958. Bert had very fond memories of Hastings and saw big changes in the little township he called home for 60 years. With his much-loved Esther, he enjoyed gardening, many trips around Australia and overseas and camping holidays with the grandchildren. The Bittern Market, where he had a plant stall, held special memories for him. In recent years, particularly since the death of Esther in 2005, the senior citizens club and Probus Club have been an important part of his life. He loved a chat and the front veranda of his home became a regular meeting place (and often a bar!) Bert is survived by his two children, Jane and John, son-in-law Trevor, three grandsons Ben, Matthew, and Mark, Matthew’s wife Michelle and their daughter Amelia with a second great-grandchild due in June. A wonderful life well lived, he was loved by us all. The front veranda at 9 Herring St won’t be the same without Bert sitting there.

Through autumnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golden gown ENSCONCED behind a Cypress Hedge and a feature stone wall incorporating a security gate, this stylish rural retreat is on a picturesque 8096-square metres full of beautiful gum trees. At the end of a quiet country lane, this family home is well-designed with a lovely garden outlook from most windows. A double carport is under the roofline and from the grand entry the home stretches away revealing an expanse of floating timber floors and a pleasant neutral decor. There are two living areas, including space for formal dining, positioned on either side of an alfresco entertaining area. A formal lounge has a striking brick feature wall with gas heater and the central kitchen has a clean, functional look with stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher and wall oven. There are three bedrooms, all with built-in robes, and the master bedroom has an ensuite with a spa bath. There is a second bathroom and a large laundry. A separate study could be a fourth bedroom if required. The boundary of the property is fully-fenced and other external improvements include a large machinery shed, discreetly hidden behind a tall stand of hedges. The park-like setting that surrounds the home is still maturing, with many smaller trees planted to complement the tall, established gums. It is pleasing to see a quality ruralresidential address where neighbours do not encroach too much on each other. Nothing seems more pointless than to build on acreage and have a neighbour 30-feet away, so this handsome, ranch-style home should appeal to families seeking some privacy, and the peace and quiet of a rural location.

Country quality WITH hardly a sound to be heard but the rustles of gum trees and the chirp of the birds, this striking and handsome ranch-style home is set on a level one-hectare block. The home is double brick and is beautifully presented. A paved driveway leads up to a double tandem-length carport under the roofline and from this end you enter into a large laundry, with other wet areas including a separate powder room and a main bathroom that would cater for two bedrooms further down the hall. A third bedroom is off the main open-plan living area that has air-conditioning and ducted heating throughout, with a pot-belly stove for cosy winter nights. In addition to the casual living zone there is a splendid formal lounge and dining room - with open fire place - that can be closed off from the rest of the house. In between these two areas is the kitchen that has a dishwasher, walk-in pantry and an upright stove with gas hotplates connected to a gas cylinder outside. At the far end of the home is the main bedroom that has access to the verandah and also features a walk-through robe to a large ensuite also with air-conditioning.

Rotary - Linking our schools to the north Somerville Rise Primary makes kind donation RECENTLY, Somerville Rise Primary School received an upgrade to their classroom furniture with new desks, chairs and tables. The old furniture some 200 desks and 100 chairs - was to be disposed of, however School Principal, Mr Andrew Felsinger offered the old equipment to the Somerville-Tyabb Rotary Club to see if they could be re-used someplace else. Schools and businesses and in particular hospitals regularly upgrade their equipment, and in many cases this stock is still in perfectly functional condition. So where does this surplus equipment end up? More and more, these items are ending up with a Rotary club, to be re-used in an aid prgramme

known as Donations In Kind ( DIK). The country of Timor - Leste, which had most of its infrastructure destroyed by the Indonesian army on their withdrawal in 1999, has been a major focus of Rotary and DIK. The schools and hospitals of Timor-Leste are in great need of re-furbishing, and the donation by the Somerville Rise Primary School will go directly to helping one or more of the under-equipped schools in Dili. Items also sent with the container includes dentistry and optometry equipment, some hospital beds, bikes and playground equipment plus teaching aids.

Somerville Rise Principal, Mr Andrew Felsinger

Making it work A group of Rotary Clubs share the costs of a warehouse to store donated goods. To save space and money, a Rotary team assesses the condition and usefulness of the items and whether they are suitable for transport. Many items, for example computers, are often rejected on the basis that the recipient nation may not have the personel or the electricity supply to utilise such items. Any goods deemed suitable are then cleaned and repaired if required and put into storage waiting for a container to be allocated to the chosen destination.

SHARING THE LOAD: Somerville Rise parents and staff, rotarians, and Rosebud truck drivers assist with the container packing

The sponsoring Rotary club contributes wholly or in part to the shipping costs, which are usually over $3000, to reach the northern islands. With the Somerville-Tyabb project, it became a joint exercise between themselves, the Somerville Rise Primary School and the Rotary World Community Service administration.

When the destination school in Timor-Leste has been decided, Mr Felsinger will encourage Somerville Rise students to become “pen-pals” with school students in Dili. The social media that students enjoy here is simply not available to Timor Leste schools as yet. However, with the continuing work of Rotary clubs, such as Somerville-Tyabb, that will change. For now, this has been a great opportunity for the students of Somerville Rise Primary to be a part of an international air programme with their fellow generation.

Armageddon completely sick of this By Stuart McCullough THIS is Kim Jong-Unbelievable. No sooner had I finally committed to re-watching all seven series of The West Wing and North Korea goes and announces the imminent end of the world as we know it. Talk about thoughtless! Sadly, it appears that the doomsday clock has not been adjusted to take into account the end of daylight savings and it is now less than five minutes to midnight. North Korea is hell bent of forging a new era with the outside world best summarized as ‘Deacon 1’. These threats are not, it seems, retaliation against South Korea for the crime against humanity that was ‘Gagman Style’ but, rather, a clumsy attempt to show that when it comes to being an unpredictable megalomaniacal tyrant, Kim Jong-un is his own man, despite looking, sounding and dressing exactly like his father. Let’s be honest: taking over from your Dad brings its own unique brand of pressure. It’s the downside to nepotism that is all too rarely talked about. Being part of a famous dynasty is not all wine, roses and ballistic missile tests. Far from it. Whether it be the head of a large multinational corporation or leadership of a reclusive military dictatorship, it’s tough to be your own person when all anyone talks about is your old man. It’s especially difficult when the image of your predecessor is everywhere you look. Poor old Kim Jong-un can hardly turn around without seeing a 50-foot tall picture of his Dad hanging from the nearest building. Not just

any snapshot, either. It will be of his father smiling, looking off into the middle distance, surrounded in an otherworldly glow that makes it appear as if the sun really did shine out of his backside. Kim Jong-il was, by regular standards, a horrible human being, responsible for leading one of the world’s most repressive regimes in

which almost every aspect of daily life was controlled by the government. But the recent actions of his son make it hard not to look back at those simpler times with a sense of nostalgia. Sure, Kim Jong-il was a loud-mouthed murderous lunatic, but he seemed to understand that there was a line between pantomime and reality. Whether his son is aware that any such

distinction exists remains a mystery. In fact, very little is known about Kim Jong-un. He is, apparently, about 30 years old (although nobody’s completely sure) and was probably schooled in Switzerland. A poor academic performer, he apparently spent his time developing a sizable man-crush on US basketball player Michael Jordan, sketching images of him in his notebook, and playing videogames. He’s also a fan of Eric Clapton. He has older siblings but Kim Jongun has been described as the one most like his father. This similarity extends to a fondness for drinking and a fashion sense best described as ‘the human wheelie bin’. As to how he was picked as successor, one of his brothers was regarded as insufficiently masculine while another, Kim Jongnam, was disqualified after he was caught attempting to visit Tokyo Disneyland. There is, it seems, only room for one magic kingdom in North Korea. But if there’s a downside to having power given to you on a platter it’s this: credibility. Before being handed the reins, Kim was first made a ‘daejang’. Sadly, this does not involve playing your favourite records – Eric Clapton or otherwise – and is the equivalent to being appointed a general. That he hadn’t served in the military was not considered an impediment. There are two ways to view this – firstly, that this is a shameless act of favouritism by a ruthless maniac intended to perpetuate one family’s iron-like grip on power. But there are, of course, two sides to

every story, or at least there would be two sides to every story if the media not was steadfastly controlled by the state. It’s a story which, in reality television terms, can be described as refusing to allow things like a lack of experience or talent come between you and your dream. If nothing else, Kim Jong-un goes to show that being dangerously under-qualified should not stand in the way of getting the job you’ve always wanted. That job, ‘Supreme Leader of North Korea’, was the one his father held before him. This could well be part of the problem. If Kim Jong-un wants to been seen differently to his Dad, perhaps he should take a different title. Instead of ‘Supreme Leader of North Korea’, how about ‘Super Supreme Leader with Extra Anchovies?’ Or plain old ‘Chief Executive Officer’? Or, as a tribute to his own heroes, perhaps ‘Slowhand Air Kim’? Or, better yet, maybe he should do things differently. I was born into the Cold War, where the prospect of mutually assured nuclear destruction was a subject we studied right after phys ed, so I’m used to talk of a looming apocalypse. But enough is enough. My message is simple: Kim Jong-un – stop acting like a colossal turkey, albeit a turkey with access to uranium. If not, next time I run into you at Coles, I fully intended to express my displeasure in the clearest way imaginable, through either a well-timed Fitzroy uppercut, a nipple cripple or, possibly, both. Kim Jongun, you have been warned. www.stuartmccullough.com

Panthers make it two wins from two

NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt PEARCEDALE made it two wins from two matches on Saturday when it controlled the match all afternoon against Crib Point in Nepean League football. With Pat Heijden and Chris Fortnam dominating in attack with six and four goals respectively, the Panthers proved too strong all over the ground for the Magpies. Tasmanian recruits Chris Hensby and Rohan Swan also got the feel for local footy and their presence on the ground was noticeable. Teenager Adam Avard was also very good on a wing in only his second senior game, while debutant Ben Brown was also not out of place on a senior arena. The Panthers led by 26 points at half time but rather than dying out in the second half, the home side was able to put the pedal on the gas and extend its lead. The margin was 32 points at three quarter time and the final margin 65 points. It was yet another horror performance by Crib Point, beaten by more than 100 points in round one and by almost 11 goals on Saturday. The Pies may have been pushing for finals last season but it couldn’t be further away from reality at the moment. Understandably, Pearcedale coach Ben Cadd was delighted with his team’s performance. “It has been a great start to the year for us and most pleasing on Saturday was that we were able to kick away and enjoy a really strong win,” Cadd said. “We’re still coming together as a side because there are a few new faces but I believe we’re getting there quickly. “Our aim this season was to tighten up defensively, which we have been able to do in our first two games. We had more points kicked against us than any other team last season and we wanted to rectify that.” Cadd said recruits to the club had assisted with the team’s structures. “With ‘Macca’ Vagg back, it allows Heijden to play deeper forward. ‘Forts’ is only spending about 15 per cent of

Double down: Hastings went down to Rye, while the dreadlocked Crib Point gun Luke Herrington couldn’t save the day against Pearcedale. Pictures: Andrew Hurst and Doug Farr.

game time in the middle because we have my little brother Pat and Hensby who can go in there. “In defence, Swan is really helping out Travis Sauer, who doesn’t have to play on the opposition monsters any more,” Cadd said. “A couple of kids, like Avard, make good decisions and they add another dimension to the team. “So far, things have been going well for us but it’s a long season and there’s not a lot between the teams,” he said. Frankston Bombers had another very strong performance, smashing Tyabb by more than 100 points. The Bombers were poor in the second quarter but managed to boot 16 goals to three in the second half to win 26.17.173 to 9.8.62. Scott Foster booted five goals and Zac Longham four, again proving that the Bombers do not lack a focal point in attack. Damien Atkins (wedding) and Allan Williams (knee) missed the game, while Sam Drake resumed his footy in the reserves. Jason Bedford was again one of the best players on the ground with four goals while former Somerville utility Marcus Bate made a real impression in

his first game in new colours. Coach Duncan Proud said he was happy with seven of the eight quarters his team has played this season. “From where I sit, I think we were expected to win our first two games against Red Hill and Tyabb. The real test comes this Saturday (RPP Match of the Day) against Rosebud,” Proud said. “We’re getting a good even spread amongst the 22, which is what I’m after each week. “We really want to make a name for ourselves as a strong side defensively who can counter attack and make you pay on the scoreboard. “For the past two weeks we have had 10 goal kickers while restricting the opposition to fewer than 10 goals. “I’m enjoying my role across half back and Jeremy Waixel is just sensational in the last line of defence. He rarely loses a one on one contest. With Al Williams and Shaun Brand, who’ll be back soon, we are developing a strong defensive unit,” Proud said. Jay Reynolds booted three goals, as did Ryan Lonie for the Bombers, while Brian O’Carroll was outstanding. Nick Waterstone and Craig Conlan

were among the best for the Bombers, while Ethan Rahilly was also his typical competitive self. Somerville bounced back in the battle of the youngsters, getting the job done at Red Hill by 15 points. In a see-sawing game all afternoon, the Eagles led at quarter and half time, before the Hillmen booted six goals in the third quarter to grab the lead by seven points. But led by Justin Farrelly in the ruck and Rhys Palmer, the visitors were able to kick five goals to two in the last to win 17.19.121 to 16.10.106. Todd Farrelly, Rohan Hogenbirk and Josh Collie all booted three goals for the winners. For Red Hill, Marcus Dal Lago, Jake Mitchell and Jayden Pain led the way. Rosebud hung on to win a very defensive clash against Devon Meadows. In a tight battle all afternoon, the Buds booted four goals to Devon’s two in the second half to win 10.14.74 to 7.6.48. Matty Payne kicked three goals in a best on ground performance for the Buds, while Glen Boyington was the other surprise packet with three goals. Lachy Armstrong worked hard across

half forward and Greg Bentley was a driving force from defence. Alex Doria and Noble Park recruit Heath Black, who is a great focal point across half forward, were the best of Devon’s players, while Ash Adams was the only multiple goal-kicker. It was a good test for Devon Meadows and although not coming away with the four points, it can still be proud of its performance. Rye completed the unexpected and came away from Western Port with the four points against Hastings. Jack Kerr grabbed four goals and Aaron Fiddes three for the winners while Adam Kirkwood and Sean Cain were exceptional through the middle of the ground. Matty Siberas has also been an outstanding pick-up for the Demons. Tony Mirabella played a lone hand in attack once again with another fivegoal haul for the Blues, while Andy Kiely was their best player yet again. Taylor Stratton is a star and showed just why he is so again on Saturday. It’s a terrible start for the Blues, who do not seem to have improved on last year.

Dolphins hang tough to win a thriller FRANKSTON Dolphins are heading in the right direction. The team hasn’t played finals since 2008 and has been a league cellar-dweller since then but won its first game of the season in style on the weekend with victory over 2012 runners-up Port Melbourne. Frankston came into the round 2 game at Frankston Oval on Sunday after a 68-point loss to Casey Scorpions, while Port Melbourne had defeated Box Hill by four points. In the opening quarter Port Melbourne took control from the start kicking two goals in the first six minutes. The Borough’s pressure was fantastic and tackles were sticking,

which affected Frankston’s disposal. By the 11-minute mark it was clear Port’s Joshua Scipione was set for a big day when he banged through his second goal. Five minutes later, Frankston kicked its first goal with a snap from Chris Irving. But Port kept up the pressure and Joshua Scipione kicked his third, to give his team a 20-point lead just before quarter time. Scipione and ball-magnet Ryan Gale were Port’s best. For Frankston Leigh Kitchin was its best across half-back. The second quarter was a completely different story. Whatever Frankston coach Simon Goosey told his boys worked because they were on fire. The Dolphins kicked three goals in six minutes (two of those to Sam Lloyd) turning the game into a closer contest. When Josh Dyson kicked the team’s fourth of the quarter the Dolphins hit the front for the first time. Port

Melbourne’s defence was under siege, turning the ball over constantly. A deliberately rushed behind and two undisciplined 50-metre penalties resulted in the Dolphins having a 22-point lead at half time. That quarter belonged to lead-up forward Ziggie Alwan, who was energetic and kept the Port Melbourne defenders on their toes at all times. In the second half Frankston continued to put its foot down kicking the first three goals and extending its lead to 40 points. But at the 11-minute mark, the momentum changed when Joshua Scipione kicked his fourth goal of the match and a minute or so later Chris Cain snapped a difficult goal from the boundary. For the remainder of the quarter the ball was well and truly in Port Melbourne’s court but some errant goal kicking would go on to cost the

side later. To Frankston’s credit it managed to hang onto a 31-point lead, despite Port’s dominance. In the last quarter Port Melbourne’s Julian Rowe kicked a goal in the opening minutes but Frankston quickly responded with a goal from Luke Potts. For the next 10 minutes Port Melbourne continued to attack and Frankston began to look tired but to Port’s detriment they kept missing, with only one kick from Josh Muling going through the goals. At the 20-minute mark it looked like Frankston might hang on but Port’s Dean Galea kicked two clutch goals to bring the margin back to seven points. In the next five minutes both sides kicked a behind each and with a bit more than a minute to go Dean Galea missed a very gettable goal. With a draw still in their reach Port continued to attack but a contested mark from

Frankston’s Michael Lourey saved the game. Overall Port Melbourne had every chance to win but Frankston hung tough, led by a sensational performance at full-back from Riley Heddles. Score: Frankston 14.14-98 d Port Melbourne 12.20-92 Best: Frankston: Heddles, Alwan, Lloyd, Lourey, Hockey, Potts, C Irving, Kitchin. Port Melbourne: Wooffidin, Scipione, Langford, Gale, Bustin, Rounds. Goals: Frankston: C Irving 4, Lloyd 3, Potts 3, Alwan 2, Lourey1, Dyson 1.

Frankston YCW give Doggies a savaging PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt AT THE 20-minute mark of the third quarter on Saturday in the Peninsula League match between Mornington and Frankston YCW, the Doggies were in total control. The Dogs led at both quarter time and half time and looked to be oddson to go in at the final change with a two-goal buffer. But in the next 20 minutes of football, the reigning premiers booted nine unanswered goals to sink the Doggies. The Stonecats booted the final two goals of the third quarter to lead by a kick at the change and then booted the first seven of the last term. The final margin was 49 points, which was so far from a true reflection of the match. Let’s keep in mind though that YCW did exactly the same thing to Bonbeach the previous week. Many say Bonbeach should have led at three quarter time in that game, only to be beaten by 52 points after the Stonecats kicked seven goals to one in the final term. Take your foot off the pedal for any length of time against the Stonecats and they’ll make you pay. The Doggies gasped for air late in the third quarter, were looking for the three quarter time siren and were punished. The home team responded in the final 10 minutes of the match, able to go toe-to-toe with the Stonecats but the damage was well and truly done. Ashley Eames took the game by the scruff of the neck, Anthony Barry

really stepped up to the plate when needed and delivered and Ryley Hodson (four goals) and Jai Coghlan continued to press. Brad Ulms went from forward to defence to shut down 19-year-old Jackson Calder. In the first three quarters, Mornington was exceptional. James Cameron, Anthony Simpson, Jack Dickson and Adrian Speedy were fantastic with their pressure in the forward half of the ground, while coach Stuart Seagar, Warwick Miller, Emilio Bitters and Anthony Franchina were getting the job done through the middle of the ground. In defence, the Dogs were working hard with Kallum Searle, Josh McLerie and Jai Haddock to the fore and the midfielders in Barry Smeeton working back to support.

But the intensity that got the Doggies to the 20-minute mark of the premiership quarter deserted them for a period. It was enough time for the Stonecats to pounce. YCW’s runners in Tony Lester, Ben Tellis, Kyle Hutchison and Kevin Lylak all worked hard consistently and Jack Mazurek was up and about. While he was very unhappy with the 20 minutes where his side was blown away, Stuart Seager said there were a lot of positives to come out of the game for his side. “Our performance was like Bonbeach all over again,” Seager said. “We played good footy for three quarters but three quarters of good footy doesn’t win you matches. That’s where we have to get better against the good sides. “We ran out of legs late in the third quarter and I think we were looking at the siren to give us a break. Sides like YCW don’t look for breaks, they just keep the foot down,” he said. “I was really pleased that we were able to regroup and go head-to-head with them in the final 10 minutes of the game. We could have let their roll continue but we didn’t. “I was also really pleased after the match when the playing group identified areas where we need to improve and what let us down. It was a mature stance from a young group. “We lost the match but there were so many positives to come out of it,” Seager said. The pressure on the Dogs was backed-up by the strong Mornington crowd at the match. For the first time

THE SMARTER PHONE FOR HOME T-HUB 2

in a long while, it seems Mornington locals are backing their club again. Warwick Miller was a standout for the Dogs again. He leaves for overseas at the midway mark of the season but the Doggies get back Chris Paxino from overseas, as well as Daniel Villani, who is on his way back from a groin operation. There is plenty of upside to the group at the kennel. Langwarrin was brought back to earth with a thud, humiliated by Karingal to the tune of 82 points. The Kangas, who lost coach Paul Wheatley with a hamstring five minutes into the game, was also without the likes of Shane Urbans, Dylan Luxa and Scott Sienkiewicz, who were prime movers in the win against Seaford the week before. The Bulls also went in again without Chris Hay, who is still five weeks away. There was also plenty of talk sweeping the ground on Saturday that star Bevan Malloy would come out of retirement within the next month. His side did the job without him on Saturday, booting 18.13.121 to 5.9.39. Sam McGarry and Michael Burke dominated while Grant Goodall controlled the ruck and Dale Alainis snagged four majors. Not surprisingly, Dan Wehner was Langwarrin’s best, while Beau Muston shone. Langwarrin buckled under the pressure of Karingal, their skill level at times embarrassing. Bonbeach completed the expected and rolled Pines, booting six goals to two in the last quarter to win by 34 points.

Western Port News 16 April 2013

Cory McQueen came into the side and had an immediate impact with four majors, while Justin Bennett was sensational again, like last week, with four goals. Matthew Batten is rarely out of the best players list and Dylan Jones was hard to stop in the air. The Sharks also get back Shane McDonald from suspension in a few weeks. Dale Tedge (four goals) and Jamie Messina led the way for the Pythons, while newcomer Brendan Cowell impressed again. Edithvale-Aspendale proved that last week’s win against Chelsea was no fluke, hammering Mt Eliza by 43 points, 20.16.136 to 14.9.93. Matt Kremmer impressed in attack in round one and did the job again at half forward on Saturday booting six goals, while Jeremy Heys added three to his four last week. Brett Bowden and Timmy Mannix also caused major headaches for the opposition with three goals each and Nick Connellan was more than solid in the last line of defence. Josh Norman and James Anwyl were the best of the Redlegs while Benny Lean snagged five majors. Seaford and Chelsea played out a close game as expected, the Tigers getting home by 15 points. Brayden Irving finished with three goals and Aaron’s Turner and Walton dominated in the middle for the winners. Niz Abdallah and Ryan Stewart were among the best for the Seagulls, while Robbie Lancaster was the only multiple-goal kicker with three majors.
