War stories: Author Lisa Bayley at the Somerville cenotaph. Picture: Yanni

Somerville dawn service A DAWN service will be held at the cenotaph, Fruit Growers’ Reserve, 328 Jones Rd, Somerville, at 6am, Saturday 25 April, to celebrate the centenary of Anzac. The cenotaph has been restored to its original state with plaques designed and laid around it. One lists the names of servicemen and women who served in World War II and others tell stories about both wars. A book by members of the Somerville, Tyabb

& District Heritage Society tells a story about every soldier. The Great War comes to Somerville has been researched and designed by Lisa Bayley, with support from the society. It will be on sale after the dawn service at the little Fruit Growers’ Room behind the hall. The book costs $40. After the service, Somerville Fire Brigade will cook breakfast and the society will serve tea and coffee. Details: 0417 776 489.

FRENCH Islanders may have to wait more than two years before their complaints about the ferry service are tackled by the state government. Public Transport Victoria says it is considering re-tendering the ferry service, but not until the current contract expires in June 2017. The ferry which goes to Stony Point and Phillip Island services the island’s 123 permanent residents, although breakdowns and rough weather have led to claims of businesses losing money and schoolchildren being stranded on the mainland. Residents say they have been cut off from reliable access to Stony Point and Phillip Island “for more than two months”, disrupting their access to health services, food supplies, schools, social commitments and “the opportunity to make a living”. The PTV’s French Island Ferry Service Update, a newsletter sent to commuters, says calls for expressions of interest from ferry operators may be made later this year. The newsletter says the government will “consider” improving the Tankerton jetty breakwater. However, the project will join a list of outstanding works throughout the state. The cost of improvements to the jetty and breakwater would “run into millions, therefore funding this project needs to be considered in line with funding availability and other infrastructure priorities around the state”, the newsletter says. The PTV says its “first priority” is to get the principal ferry, the George Bass, back into the water after engine repairs. It is believed replacement engines are coming from Sweden. Another priority is to get its replacement vessel – the Schouten Passage – back into the water after its engine “blew” on Easter Monday. Last week, passengers were ferried across on a stop-gap vessel supplied by Western Port Fishing Charters. The PTV says it will continue to work with Parks Victoria on options for a north/south berthing option at Tankerton. It “apologises for the issues, challenges and isolation” to French Island residents caused by service disruptions after engine failures stopped the boats 22 February-10 March. “The service cancellations and ad hoc replacement services were not of an acceptable stand-

ard. PTV has been advised that the George Bass should be repaired (with two new engines plus gangway installation) by the end of April,” the PTV’s newsletter states. “The operator [Inter Island Ferries Service] has confirmed that they have a back-up to the Schouten Passage vessel available now, should it need to be called upon while the George Bass is undergoing repairs, so that service continuity is ensured.” The ferry is the islanders’ usual link to the mainland. It is funded by PTV. “Despite numerous letters from islanders to PTV and the amazing support by our local member [Hastings MP] Neale Burgess, the amount of cancellations is increasing,” a resident – who did not want to be named – told The News. “There have been more than 70 cancellations in the past two months causing under aged children to get stuck on the mainland after school with no possibility of returning home – for days. “Imagine that your children cannot come home from school, in one case up to a week. “At other times small boats help out to get people across to the island - sometimes under dangerous conditions.” It is believed PTV pays the operator more than $500,000 a year, but the service is not subject to performance standards that guarantee an allweather ferry service. Manager Frank Denvir confirmed that he is “not required to use any particular type of vessel” (‘No ferry: islanders isolated’, The News, 10/3/15). In the wake of the Schouten Passage breakdown, the resident said passengers wanted the George Bass back in service - quickly. “It’s the real principle vessel. This morning we just had a fishing boat as the back-up’s back-up and it was rough and we all got wet through. If I had known I would have worn wet-weather gear. It’s starting to get very unpleasant.” Another source said the PTV had spent $750,000 on the service last year. Inter Island Ferries Service in 2013 told Mr Burgess that it “has been fighting with Parks Victoria for years to fix the Tankerton jetty and dredge the Tankerton channel, but that [it] never seems to have the money and is too busy prioritising other projects, which they think are more important”.

MPs misleading public over police issues – Minister LIBERAL MPs have been accused of wrongly blaming the state government for not giving public access to the soon-to-be-opened Somerville police station. Police Minister Wade Noonan last week said Hastings MP Neale Burgess and Opposition police spokesman Edward O’Donohue are “conveniently misleading the community on this issue “. Mr Noonan decisions about police numbers and public access were made by the Chief Commissioner, not the government. “Under the Napthine government, changes were made that enshrined in law the independence of the Chief Commissioner to make determinations over the deployment of police to specific locations,” Mr Noon said. “This includes determining the hours of operations of police stations across the state.” Mr Burgess and Mr O’Donohue last week launched petitions calling on the government to increase police numbers across the state (‘Liberal MPs leading charge for extra police’, The News 7/4/15). In a joint news release the two MPs – members of the Napthine government which lost power in the November 2014 election – last week criticised the lack of public access to the new Somerville station. Victoria Police confirmed that the 80 police stationed at Somerville will come from Frankston and elsewhere on the Mornington Peninsula.

There will be no “counter service”, although a police spokeswoman said the public can seek help by calling 000 or go to “nearby” police stations at Hastings or Mornington. “The decision not to open Somerville as a 16hour station has been made the by the Chief Commissioner rather than the government,” Mr Wade said. “The Liberal members are conveniently misleading the community on this issue. “Police are currently working out how they will staff the station. “But, whatever decision they come to, the residents of the Mornington Peninsula, including Somerville, will get a 24-hour police response from frontline officers every day of the year.” Mr Burgess last week told The News that the “expectation of the community was that the new Somerville police station would be open and operational in the coming days”. “The Andrews Labor government has turned its back on the Somerville community,” he said. “The previous Coalition government, which was committed to community safety, planned for our growing community by allocating $16.3 million to build the new police station the area desperately needed. “It is a disgrace that [the Premier] Dan Andrews is ignoring the safety concerns of our growing community.” Keith Platt

Birthday gift: The controversial sculpture unveiled in Flinders last Saturday. Picture: Mike Hast

They came to see ‘I Am’ THE controversial sculpture “I Am” by Flinders artist Andrew Rogers was unveiled on a roundabout in Flinders on Saturday by Australian National Gallery director Gerard Vaughan in front of more than 300 people. The 3.7-metre high silicon, bronze and stainless steel work on a 60-centimetre base divided the small coastal community when it was publicly proposed by Flinders Community Association as one way to mark the town’s 150th anniversary in 2014. Many residents were unhappy with the process of choosing the sculptor as well as its location. A security man guarded the work for several nights before Saturday following rumours of impending vandalism. Dr Vaughan told the crowd the work was part of the artist’s “Weightless” series, had an “almost kinetic feel” and was “a great community asset”.

Critics have described it as Flinders’ “big banana” or seaweed and that many almost identical works by Rogers are in existence. The work is at the junction of Cook and Wood streets opposite Flinders Hotel and replaced a tree. About 40 people donated money for the $100,000 work, which Mornington Peninsula Shire “bought” from the association for $10. When shire councillors approved the project last August it was agreed the sculpture and its location would be reviewed in two years. After the unveiling, which saw several people having to manually remove its cover when the rope system failed, mayor Cr Bev Colomb and area councillor Tim Wood cut a birthday cake celebrating the town’s 150th and the pub’s 125th .

Cricketers gear up for England trip Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au BALNARRING cricketers Lachlan Barton and Jackson Hannah are gearing up for the trip of a lifetime: they have been selected to play in the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association under-15s touring England in June. They are among 28 players in two squads nominated by clubs from all over the peninsula and chosen at an MPCA carnival in December. The trip costs around $7800 each – an amount some of the players’ parents find difficult to afford. “We’ve had a garage sale to raise some money, and I’ve been putting away some more from my part-time job training the Hastings Football Club seniors,” his mum, Karen, a nurse, said last week. Last week she had a brainwave: “I have taken out a small personal loan to pay the remainder of Lachlan's cricket trip, and will be paying the final balance next week.” Dad Dwayne has also helped with money from his part-time job with the Southern Umpires’ Association. Lachlan has been selected as an opening batsman, and Jackson as wicketkeeper. The boys regularly open the batting at Balnarring club games. Lachlan has represented the MPCA several times in the Victorian Metro Cricket Union state-wide competition, including this season. Jackson did the same in 2013. He is in Year 9 at Dromana Secondary College where he is actively involved in the St John’s first aid program. He is also a member of the Bittern Junior Fire Brigade. “He also often assists grandparents Michael and Margaret Binney doing St Vincent De Paul home visits providing food/vouchers to the under-privileged or

socially disadvantaged in Western Port,” Mrs Barton said. “Lachlan is a very level headed 14 year old, who is passionate about his cricket, but is also very aware of the needs of people in the community and has never let his sporting talent go to his head.” Jackson’s mum Kerrie said her boy was “over the moon” with his selection. The 14 year old, in Year 9 at Balcombe Grammar, has played at Balnarring for seven years and recently won the club’s WP Myer’s Award for best junior player. He also plays tennis for Dromana - in the Section 1 team which won this season’s flag. “It’s a long way to go to making the Australian cricket team but he is working on it,” Mrs Hannah said. General manager Paul Pelzer said the MPCA had been sending two teams to England over the past eight years. “It is an educational experience for the boys who get to play a variety of clubs, see the sights and come back much better for the experience,” he said. “It’s not a representative team; we pick the best sides we can from the players available. A lot of parents go, too, and many extend their trips to get the most out of it.” He agreed the cost could be prohibitive for some families, and that the association did not provide funding, although it did provide gear and organising assistance. He said boys were being sought to fill two vacancies on the trip. Anyone wanting to donate to Lachlan’s trip should call Mr Pelzer at the MPCA on 0401 038 099.

Fake $100 used POLICE are searching for a man, above, who allegedly used a counterfeit $100 note to pay for food at Rosebud Subway on Tuesday 10 March. He was wearing a Jack Daniels t-shirt and had tattoos down his left arm. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, quoting reference number 150079121.

Track closed A MOTOCROSS track in Seaford has been closed indefinitely after the death of a 20-year-old man after a collision last Saturday (4 April). Paramedics called to the scene at about 2.20pm on the Saturday afternoon. Two riders collided and one of the men suffered a heart attack and died at the scene. The other suffered minor injuries. Frankston Council asked Frankston City Motorcycle Park to close its Seaford facilities in the short term. Frankston Council leases the Seaford facility to the Frankston Motorcycle Club. Its management agreed to the temporary closure of the park. The Frankston City Motorcycle Park was established in 1980 and has five tracks designed for differing riders’ skill levels. Neil Walker

T’Gallant winery, restaurant for sale THE popular T’Gallant restaurant in Main Ridge is for sale as part of owner Treasury Wine Estates’ cost-cutting plan. Up for grabs is the restaurant and the T’Gallant’s winery interests. About eight hectares of grapes are grown at the 16-hectare MorningtonFlinders Rd property but wine is no longer made there. Grapes from all over southeastern Australia are marketed under the T’Gallant label. The vineyard–restaurant has had a chequered career over the past decade or so, having been fined for permit breaches when owned by Foster’s Brewing Group. Mornington Peninsula Shire never collected the fine after Foster’s challenged it. The shire ignored further complaints about regular breaches including having more patrons than permitted. Foster’s then applied to the shire to expand the restaurant from 60 seats to more than 300 but was refused. It appealed to VCAT but lost. A second appeal, as Treasury Wine Estates, was successful. But Treasury, now independent of Foster’s, has not gone ahead with the approved expansion. Meantime, Foster’s was sold to South African brewing interests. It appears T’Gallant has been a drag on Treasury’s profits. Fairfax Media reported that Treasury was selling its peninsula winery plus the Bailey’s and Ryecroft wineries in Australia as well as California’s Asti winery in the first

Stony Point line still closed

stage of a cost-cutting overhaul of winery infrastructure. Treasury CEO Mike Clarke was reported as saying the savings would help fund more advertising and marketing, and would play a part in “embedding a cost-conscious culture” at Treasury. Fairfax reported that Treasury has 83 wine brands. The new strategy focuses on the top end of the market, led by the flagship Penfolds label. The US has been a particular trouble spot, according to Fairfax. Two years ago it outlined plans to destroy six million bottles of cheaper wine after problems flared under previous management. Less than half the wine was destroyed after ways were found to offload stock. Treasury wines have also been discounted in China. Whoever buys T’Gallant will inherit the expansion approval, to 190 patrons and vastly expanded parking, along with a requirement to upgrade the wastewater system to Class A to protect groundwater and Manton Creek, which runs through the property.

Enchanted, judges award gold ENCHANTED Maze Gardens, Arthurs Seat, has been awarded a gold medal for Adventure Tourism in the Mornington Peninsula Qantas Australian Tourism awards. Green Olive, of Red Hill, received a silver medal for Excellence in Food tourism. Eight state award winners from the Mornington Peninsula were finalists in the national awards.

“Our region has been an active supporter of the awards for a number of years. It is terrific to see the industry embrace the spirit of co-operative competition and come together to celebrate the best Australia has to offer,” Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board executive chair Tracey Cooper said.

PASSENGER services on the Stony Point rail line will not return for at least two months after being suspended since 30 March. Metro Trains has told The News engineers continue to investigate technical problems that led to boom gates not closing when trains approached level crossings on two occasions last month (‘Rail line shut down’, The News 7/4/15). Metro spokeswoman Larisa Tait said axle counters along the Stony Point line will be installed to ensure boom gates are triggered to close in all instances. “We are working as quickly as possible to source and install axle counters along the line as a permanent solution, however we are anticipating that services will not return to the line until late-June,” Ms Tait said. Metro said train drivers noticed the latest boom gate malfunctions and there was no danger of a collision with cars. March’s boom gates safety incidents are the latest in a series of technical glitches plaguing the Stony Point line in the past 12 months. Several boom gate malfunctions last year forced Metro to pull single-car trains from the line for several weeks in September. At the time it was believed singlecarriage trains, unlike two-car sprinters, were not being detected on some occasions by track sensors. The BlueScope Steel train, used to transport steel products to and from Bluescope’s Western Port plant, is still travelling along the Stony Point line despite the disruption to passenger services.

Competition reform on cards for business Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A SHAKE-UP of business competition laws has been flagged by Small Business Minister Bruce Billson with the taxi and pharmacy industries in the spotlight. The federal member for Dunkley says healthy competition benefits consumers by offering â&#x20AC;&#x153;better value and fresh offeringsâ&#x20AC;?. Mr Billson is overseeing an eightweek consultation with state governments, councils and businesses in the wake of the Competition Policy Review, dubbed the Harper Review after panel chair Professor Ian Harper. The review, released on 31 March, recommended governments consider deregulating retail trading hours and opening up competition in specific industries. The panel highlighted the taxi and pharmacy industries as two sectors long overdue for a regulatory overhaul to benefit consumers. Mr Billson has given the clearest indication yet that the federal government is open to ride-sharing services such as Uber being legalised. Uber, partly owned by Google and investment bank Goldman Sachs, has

been controversially operating its uberX service in Australia illegally. The service, which enables passengers to book and pay for car rides online with drivers who have listed their details with Uber, launched in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula late last year and taxi drivers are angry authorities seem unwilling to act to stop its unregulated uberX service (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Uberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival challeng-

es taxi operatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, The News 20/1/15). When asked for his response to the Harper Review Mr Billson said the panel had found some passengers are using services such as Uber to meet personal transport needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly, trying to force passengers to use a particular type of service that might not be what they want isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in keeping with the idea of empowering consumers

and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to stop customers using new technologies to find â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;workaroundsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to get their needs met,â&#x20AC;? Mr Billson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of this, the panel has recommended that state and territory governments look at the way the passenger transport industry is regulated to take account of changing times and ensure essential consumer protections are guaranteed such as minimum standards of quality, security and insurance.â&#x20AC;? Mr Billson did say it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;pleasing to see reports of the taxi industry stepping up to take on alternative providersâ&#x20AC;?, giving better value for money and service to customers as a result of competition. The Small Business Minister noted the Harper Review had also highlighted aspects of the pharmacy industry â&#x20AC;&#x153;characterised as anti-competitiveâ&#x20AC;?. Currently new pharmacies cannot open near an existing pharmacy in most instances. The Harper Review has recommended â&#x20AC;&#x153;the pharmacy ownership and location rules should be removed in the long-term interests of consumers and â&#x20AC;&#x153;they should be replaced with regulations to ensure access to medicines and quality of advice regarding their use that do not unduly restrict competition.â&#x20AC;? Mr Billson said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The removal of these rules could well see more competi-

tion in lucrative locations but we need to make sure less commercially attractive areas are serviced.â&#x20AC;? The Pharmacy Guild, a powerful lobby group representing pharmacists, has slammed the Harper Reviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation â&#x20AC;&#x153;to deregulate pharmaciesâ&#x20AC;?. Guild executive director David Quilty said there is no evidence an alternative pharmacies model â&#x20AC;&#x153;would deliver superior outcomes for patients or taxpayersâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5450 community pharmacies, currently struggling under the pressures of price disclosure, need certainty and stability â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not a constant push to abolish a system thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mr Billson stressed any business competition reforms â&#x20AC;&#x153;warrant careful consideration before making any changeâ&#x20AC;? and requires action from all levels of government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reform process must be staged, consultative, collaborative and deliver real improvements to our competition framework for the benefit of businesses and consumers,â&#x20AC;? he said. See treasury.gov.au or call 02 6263 3932 to make a submission to the Competition Policy Reviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Final Report consultation process. Closing date Tuesday 26 May.

Plan to seek new offers to provide island ferry link Continued from Page 1 Mr Denvir said his ferries were up to one metre below the lowest landings of both the Tankerton and Cowes jetties and had â&#x20AC;&#x153;ongoing problems in getting people safely on and offâ&#x20AC;?. He said he would prefer floating jetties at Tankerton and Cowes, but this would require an L-shaped rock formation to protect them from bad weather. Mr Burgess said French Island residents were being â&#x20AC;&#x153;held to ransomâ&#x20AC;? by both the PTV and the operator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a disgrace. If this was in the city, say, at Docklands, it would be fixed straight away. People rely on this service yet the performance is atrocious. People canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to school or home again,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The contract requires a support vessel. The good one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the James Grant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has been sold off. The operator is responsible for a primary vessel and a back-up vessel yet, if they both break down, he is somehow not responsible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is pathetic.â&#x20AC;? Mr Burgess said Western Port residents were also being short-changed through intermittent train services to and from Stony Point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The disgraceful thing is that the Tyabb level crossing is being manned for BlueScope trains but not for passenger trains,â&#x20AC;? he said. A WorkSafe Victoria spokeswoman said that under Victorian OH&S laws, employers were responsible for providing a safe workplace for

employees and ensuring their work did not put the public at risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;WorkSafe believes the safe operating procedures put in place by Inter Island Ferries adequately manages any potential risks to the safety of employees and passengers.â&#x20AC;? A PTV spokesman said its contract with the operator â&#x20AC;&#x153;details many requirements in operating the ferry service, including the standard of the vessel, safety management plans, and that the services should be operated in a punctual way.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the case of February/March when the operator had both ferries out of the water, contract payments were adjusted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a number of operational and safety reasons one or more ferry services may be cancelled,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ferry cannot operate in winds of 25 knots or greater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The increase in cancellations in late February/early March was due to the operator experiencing breakdowns on both of his vessels on the same day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In assessing tenders and appointing public

Digger’s hat inspiration for illustrator’s art By Fred Wild A PAINTING hanging at Dromana’s RSL (now part of the Peninsula Club) is especially significant on Anzac Day. Australian Hat on Landing was painted in 1970 by (Ewart) Melbourne Brindle who attended Dromana Primary School from 1910 until 1918 before leaving with his family to live in the United States. On arrival in the US the 14-year-old studied lettering briefly before seeking what was to become a very successful career as an illustrator. Brindle never lost his passion for Dromana or Australia although he lived the rest of his life in America. The painting is one of three that were purchased and brought to Australia in 2011, during Dromana’s 150th celebrations. It is on permanent loan to the RSL from the Pittock family of Dromana. Inspiration for the painting may have come from a poem printed in The Argus in 1915, a tattered interpretation of which features in the painting. It was written by the Rev Dr James B Rentoul an Irish born Presbyterian minister and academic and, during World War One, chaplain general of the Australian military forces. The verse Brindle depicts in his painting is a condensed version of the original. Although the painting appears to have a Gallipoli theme Brindle has used artistic licence to include the modern day Australian flag which appears in all his Australia paintings regardless of the era. Its colours contrast starkly with the faded tattered poem.

Hat’s off for Brindle: Illustrator Melbourne Brindle, top right, found fame in the Unites States but never forgot his upbringing in Dromana. His poignant painting of a Digger’s hat and wartime mementoes, top, is displayed at Dromana RSL. Bottom right is one of the posters he produced to support the United States during World War II.

Brindle received all his education at Dromana Primary School 184. His school drawing books which he treasured until his death are now held by Dromana and District Historical Society. It was not until 1938, when Brindle and his wife and daughter left for

New York that his career took off. He became known as America’s most celebrated illustrator of the automobile, producing advertisements for Packard, Cadillac, Buick and Chevrolet among others. When photographs became the preferred mode of illustration in the

early 1960s he took on painting more seriously. He still however favoured the tools he used as an illustrator, particularly his preferred No 4 round sable brush which is evidenced in the intricate detail in the hat painting. He was a patriotic American too and during World war Two produced

Strategy sets a course for marine industry PLANS and directions outlined in Mornington Peninsula Shire’s latest marine precincts strategy will give the sector the best opportunity of achieving sustainable long-term growth, according to the mayor, Cr Bev Colomb. The shire adopted the Mornington Peninsula: Two Bays with a Network of Marine Precincts strategy on 23 March to manage and oversee “the sustainable use and development of appropriate areas of the coastline and provide a clear direction for the future”. The peninsula’s coastline is acknowledged as an asset that has many uses, demands and expectations. “The local marine sector is a significant user of the coastline both on water and on land,” Cr Colomb said. “Ensuring that the local marine

business sector is well-placed to grow sustainably and meet future demand is a key planning, design and management challenge. “This strategy provides a planning and implementation framework for council to guide and support the sustainable development of the local marine industry and recreational sectors.” Cr Colomb said the “vision” in the strategy will help the peninsula be “the foremost location in Victoria for marinebased recreation, tourism and industry”. “It will provide a network of recreational marine precincts that support recreational boating, boat building and servicing industries, and it will encourage public and private investment into marine infrastructure that supports marine-based industries, recreation, tourism, aquaculture and

education.” Directions and initiatives outlined in the strategy would give the marine sector “the best opportunity for sustainable, long-term growth and success”. The strategy identifies where marine precincts could be placed or developed. Cr Colomb said the strategy was developed in the wake of “comprehensive and wide-ranging consultation with boat builders/ repairers, marina operators, yacht clubs, dive and fishing charter operators, foreshore advisory groups, marine manufacturers and industry associations and government agencies”. Other “key directions” foreshadow an approvals process for identified marine industrial precincts and encourage and support marine sector

education and training for peninsula residents and employees. “The strategy provides clear directions and priorities to ensure our marine sector continues to flourish,” Cr Colomb said. Mornington Peninsula Marine Alliance executive officer Bruce Douglas has endorsed the council's decision to adopt the strategy. “This strategy draws on the experience and needs of the businesses comprising the sector,” Mr Douglas said. “It will provide an excellent framework for the council and business community to work together and focus on the actions that will deliver the bestvalue outcomes to enhance the wide range of economic benefits for the whole community.” See the strategy at mornpen.vic.gov.au

posters to support its war effort and later he designed several US postage stamps. His 20 Silver Ghosts, a book depicting pre-World War I Rolls Royces, was reprinted twice. Ewart Melbourne Brindle died in 1993 aged 90.

Allied retreat no secret to the Turks David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au THE myth has moved. For a century Australians have been taught that the Turkish army was fooled at Gallipoli in the dark days of December 1915 – the Anzacs slipped away without the loss of a man from under the enemy’s snoring, insensible nose. It was always false, now proved to be so by blizzards of archived Ottoman military documents recently translated for the first time. The Turks knew the Allies were leaving. They watched from the commanding heights, day after day, as men and materiel sailed away, sometimes in broad daylight and under fire, in a retreat that occurred over weeks. They read British newspaper articles on the necessity of a retreat; they knew the House of Lords discussed it. They moved their soldiers into the abandoned Anzac trenches. The new myth is: “They knew we were leaving, but not exactly when.” But let’s shorten it. Chop off the last four words, and we arrive at the truth. This new myth, a preposterous piece of sophistry, deserves a short life. The powerful evidence is in the Ottoman documents – those so far examined – and in the words of the general in charge of the failed adventure, which lasted from 25 April 1915 to 9 January 1916, when the last troops left Cape Helles. Lieutenant-General Sir William Birdwood wrote: “Our intentions … should have been obvious to [the Turks], looking down as they do from

Beached: The 1st Anzac Corps headquarters – dugouts on the beach at the Gallipoli Peninsula, Turkey, and, right, the view from the top of hills overlooking where Australian troops landed. Pictures: National Library of Australia

the hills around on practically all our movements … Curiously enough, they seem all along to have anticipated that we were making arrangements for an attack and not a retirement.” Birdwood was trying to fathom how he got away with it. The British had calculated they would lose tens of thousands of men in the retreat. The Turks, exhausted and depleted, were clearly being cautious. Pursuing a retreating enemy lost King Harold the Battle of Hastings, and his kingdom, to William the Conqueror. The enemy was leaving: why draw them back? “The Turks knew the troops were leaving and were glad to see them go,” said Professor Stanford Shaw, a leading expert and writer on Ottoman

military history. The Ottoman Empire was fighting for its life on other fronts and in desperate need of men and equipment. A new account of Gallipoli, written by Harvey Broadbent, mentions a “conspiracy theory ... that the British bribed the Turks to allow them to leave. There seems no evidence for this theory”, he asserts. I agree. Could bribery be an explanation? The Allied retreat from Cape Helles was clearly permitted by the Turks. And, one would imagine, the Allies feared that the Turks would be on an even higher alert, thirsting for bloody revenge, had they felt robbed of their Anzac prey. Does any evidence exist of British bribery to get out of a military jam?

Actually, it does. In early 1916, Britain’s “highest authorities” offered £1 million to Turkish General Halil Pasha to free an army he had trapped in Mesopotamia. That’s nearly $A1 billion in today’s money. Halil scornfully rejected the offer. There was no need to bribe the Turks at Gallipoli. The defeated army had suffered a comprehensive, if slow-motion, military rout that cost thousands of young lives and probably extended the First World War by years. What did the campaign achieve, beyond prompting the spin doctors of the day to weave the cynical “we fooled them” myth (now being cynically repositioned) after a glorious contest between noble opponents?

First, let us dispense with the “glorious” and “noble” balderdash. The Anzacs’ final “noble” gesture was to set off two enormous mines under Turkish trenches – after the last Anzac was safely off the beaches – killing at least 70 and injuring hundreds. It was more a thuggish, two-fingered gesture than a salute, this gratuitous act of mass murder. Second, it planted the seed for the triumphant emergence of modern Turkey from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, through the rise of the astonishing Colonel Mustafa Kemal, later “Father of the Turks”. Harvey Broadbent*, after listing the Turkish toll (his figures are 213,882 casualties, just under 87,000 of them deaths), remarks vapidly: “A high cost for victory.” The alternative? Surrender. Defeat. Humiliation. Loss of nation. Disappearance into the smoke and chaos of history. A considerably higher cost than the Turkish victory over Britain, then the world’s mightiest empire. Ironically, Turkey does not celebrate its Gallipoli victory on the anniversary of the defeat of the Allied army. It commemorates a naval victory, won on 18 March, when the joint British and French fleet failed to break through the Narrows and sail north to threaten Istanbul. * Harvey Broadbent has authored two books, Gallipoli, the Turkish Defence, described as “a comprehensive academic reference book”, and Defending Gallipoli, “a condensed version for the general reader”.

LETTERS Rail closure I wish to express my distress and concern that the Frankston-Stony Point railway line has been closed down for public use, with an exception apparently for the BlueScope train ((‘Rail line shut down’, The News 7/4/15). In my 30 years on the Mornington Peninsula there have been at least two previous attempts to close the line down permanently, citing lack of profitability. If it is unprofitable, part of the concern I believe is the lack of sufficient services. The peninsula has the greatest percentage at both ends of the spectrum: the ageing and youth - both being more likely to need to use public transport to stay or maintain their independence. I use the train service. As I am subject to bus sickness and the Frankston bus winds in and out on its route making it even more untenable for me, I dread to think what will happen if the train is no longer an option. Many people rely on the service on a regular basis and on special occasions: for instance, my local Probus group uses the train when we have excursions to the city. My son, who lives in Melbourne, does not have a driving licence or a car and often uses the train to visit me and on the occasions he is working in the area. I have spoken to several people who have expressed the same concerns that I do. I would like to know if the line really has been subject to such poor maintenance, how could it possibly be safe for a commercial entity, but not the general public? What is being done to address or redress the purportedly given excuses of “track contamination” and the lack of weight to trigger the closure of the boom gates? When will the line be re-opened? What penalties are Metro being subjected to for the non-provision of the service? Barbara Rimington, Balnarring

Political policing It was good to see [Hastings MP] Neale Burgess got the whole chapter of the Hastings Liberal branch to come out for a bit of razzmatazz and finger pointing about the Somerville police station (’Liberal MPs leading charge for extra police’, The News 7/4/15). He conveniently forgot that the government he was a part of a few months ago neglected to actually make sure there were enough police available to staff the new station. The Liberal government’s solution was simply to take staff from other stations on the peninsula to fill the vacancies at Somerville, which was no solution at all. But I agree that after building the needed station, some effort should be made to staff it in a timely manner.

Fine place to park THESE six illegally parked vehicles were photographed on 4 April, market day in Red Hill, over the road from the Epicurean Centre in Shoreham Rd. Six fines at $74 to $148 apiece equals $444 to $888 – and dozens more parked illegally at the market itself. Fining illegal parkers would be a way to reduce shire debt but the “grey ghosts” are rarely seen in the hinterland. Illegal parking in your neighbourhood? Tell us about it by emailing team@ mpnews.com.au

And have it open to the public. And, it seems Metro is going the way of least effort when it comes to meeting its obligation to the public. Is it a case of not enough maintenance on tracks that led to them replacing trains with buses on the Stony Point line? Or is it another case of making sure they get their bonuses from the government? I would think they had enough time since August to find a solution to this problem. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Wrong level Apologies for my mistake about the estimated sea level rise in a hundred years’ time ((‘Government’s won’t save homes threatened by future sea rises’, The News 7/4/15). I took copious notes at the Australian Coastal Councils conference and transposed 0.8 metre to 8 metres when writing my report, not recognising my poorly written decimal point. The rest of the article was accurate and points out the dangers of sea level rise and increased fire risk if we ignore climate change. David Gill, Balnarring Beach

Bad move I am disappointed to hear of plans to close the visitor information centre in Sorrento. Having worked in marketing for one of the peninsula’s leading golf clubs, the Sorrento centre played a pivotal role in promotion and generating bookings. One thing most people don’t understand is that a very large number of the volunteers are actually business owners. They are passionate about what they

do and that comes through when they speak to tourists at the coal face. Yes, the peninsula is busy over Easter and the summer months, but the centre is so important during winter when accommodation facilities, golf courses, restaurants and cafes rely on business to maintain local employment. Mornington Peninsula Shire would do better to undertake a major overhaul of its own tourism division than undermine the good work of a volunteer-based organisation that makes a massive difference to the peninsula. Rob Vanderzalm, Sanctuary Lakes

Poor planning The Sorrento tourism information centre provides a valuable service for locals and visitors alike. People like to drop in due to its convenient location in the middle of town. Council’s current proposals impacting this centre are misguided. The proposed streetscape plan for the Ocean Beach Rd and George St intersection will make a utilitarian toilet block a main feature of Sorrento’s appealing main street. It proposes a seating area near the toilet block – how pleasant. This is poor urban design. The plan’s proposed information kiosk is no bigger than one of the proposed disabled toilets. Unlike at the existing centre, visitors will not be able to browse and will be subjected to our variable weather. Council will also be lucky to find any volunteers who will want to staff such a poor facility. Information at the [freeway service centre] in Baxter or on the internet cannot replace the friendly,

welcoming and personalised information at Sorrento where visitors gravitate to and which is a strategic gateway location near the ferry. Council could enhance the amenity of the George St intersection by opening up the information centre to the proposed new seating, making both the centre and the streetscape more inviting. Sally Eldridge, Sorrento

Cyclist safety Living on the the Mornington Peninsula, I am quite aware of the possibility of “dooring” cyclists and always double-check before I open my car door. However, it is extremely difficult when cyclists are wearing dark clothing and riding a dark bike at dusk, night or during inclement weather. It becomes very dangerous for both the motorist and the cyclist. There are quite stringent safety road user rules for every category of vehicle except cyclists and I would think that it is a duty of care of VicRoads to motorists and cyclists to insure that, at least, visibility is enhanced. At a minimum, the issues I mentioned should be immediately legislated into the road rules to ensure the safety of cyclists and prevent the trauma of drivers who accidently kill them. Cyclists should also be required to be registered if a bicycle is used on public roads. It is impossible for a driver to identify and report cyclists who are doing the wrong thing even if they are captured on our dash cam. This does not have to be a costly and difficult procedure. It is not rocket science to make

these changes and it should not require an engineering consultant to define the visibility specifications of front and rear lights. Just take 10 people out in a parking lot and let them sight the visibility of currently available lights and then take the best and make that the spec that cyclists must adhere to on public roads. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Military badness As we “remember them” and as news reports draw attention to the use of ice, other drugs, alcohol and tobacco in the armed services, let’s not forget that, presumably, because of much inactivity and boredom in the trenches, tobacco became a habit of last resort. Tobacco never made anybody feel good. Quite the opposite,with smokers getting ever more irritated as time elapses since the last smoke, which is relieved, just a little, by the next smoke. The most insidious attribute of tobacco is that the frame of mind of the smoker becomes accustomed to addiction. Obviously it’s then easier to become addicted to other substances. Since the tobacco industry has had so much benefit from members of the military popularising its product, is smoking currently accepted on military sites? If this is so, how about all military sites introducing a blanket ban on all tobacco products? If ice and other drugs are now prevalent in our military, when will the Prime Minister Tony Abbott either launch actual constructive action or completely cancel the never ending hype about the “war on drugs”?

Fun and support at diabetes camp MORNINGTON Peninsula children attending an autumn Diabetes Camp at Healesville Sanctuary last week learned how to manage their condition in a fun, safe and supportive environment, and how to enjoy independence through adventure. About 50 children aged eight and nine from all over Victoria attended, with many learning how to check their blood glucose levels to administer insulin for the first time. Local children at the camp included Lachlan Adair, 7, of Tyabb, Charlotte Jones, 9, of Carrum Downs, Isabella Macpherson, 8, of Skye, Tania Mason de la Llave, 9, of Hastings, Noah Mereszko, 9, of Point Leo, Thomas Nicholds, 8, of Langwarrin and Mackenzie Orr, 8, of Moorooduc. The campers and their families have interesting stories to share… Lachlan was a two-year-old toddler when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Parents Kylie and Brendan felt shattered at that time but were determined not to let diabetes stop him from doing whatever he wanted. Lachlan has been using an insulin pump for almost three years, which has given the family more flexibility to manage his diabetes. Kylie and Brendan have spent a great deal of time educating his school teachers on how to operate the pump – and how to treat low blood glucose levels. Next to meeting other kids with diabetes, his parents hope that Lachlan will become more independent and comfortable in managing his diabetes at camp. Isabella was diagnosed with type

Shire’s starts to hire

Active campers: Isabella Macpherson, 8, of Skye, Noah Mereszko, 9, of Point Leo, Tommy Nicholds, 8, of Langwarrin and Lachlan Adair, 7, of Tyabb.

1 diabetes when she was two years old – about 13 months after her brother Connor. The diagnosis took the Macpherson family by surprise: they had expected it to target her other brother, Ayden, who is Connor’s identical twin. Despite her age, Isabella had learned a lot from Connor about living with diabetes – she knew all about testing blood glucose levels and having needles. The transition period, however, was not easy. “It broke our hearts that she would cry with every injection of insulin and we would have to hold her down,” mum Shannon said. Eight months after her diagnosis, Isabella started using an insulin pump which made family life easier. Now,

she is managing her diabetes herself by using the pump under supervision. Outside of school Isabella plays basketball and the piano. She’ll often be found doing handstands and cartwheels. Mackenzie was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a year ago. Her family was determined to approach the diagnosis with a positive attitude: “Life didn’t change too much; we didn’t want to let the diabetes control us,” mum Sandra said. “We instead decided we would manage it and Mackenzie taught us that. She was amazing in her acceptance of diabetes which made it easier for the family to get on with things.” The family has “good and

bad” days, but most of the time Mackenzie’s diabetes management is simply part of the daily routine. Next to making lots of new friends, Sandra hopes Mackenzie will learn at camp a little more about her diabetes management – and also try foods with which she is not familiar. Outside of school, Mackenzie loves splashing in the pool or playing outside on the family farm. More than 28,500 people in Victoria live with type 1 diabetes. Of these, at least 1700 are younger than 15 years. To help send a child to camp make a tax-deductible donation to Diabetes Australia – Victoria at diabetesvic.org. au Stephen Taylor

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire CEO Carl Cowie has appointed his first senior executive – a chief financial officer. The hiring of Matthew Hubbard follows the laying off of 12 senior and middle managers on Friday 13 March including Bruce Rendall, the shire’s director of sustainable organisation, former CEO Michael Kennedy’s name for a chief financial officer. Mr Cowie announced the hiring last Thursday, stating Mr Hubbard would be “interim chief financial officer, effective immediately” and that the shire would advertise nationally for a permanent CFO later this year. “I am pleased to welcome Matthew to the shire. He brings with him a broad range of financial, commercial and management experience gained from both the ASX-listed environment and not-for-profit organisations,” Mr Cowie said in a press release. (ASX is the Australian stock exchange.) “Matthew is an experienced chartered accountant who spent eight years with international accounting firm Price Waterhouse, a further eight years in health and aged care, six years in facilities maintenance and managed services, and three years in infrastructure and wealth management. “His most recent assignment has been the challenging creation and implementation of a shared services model for more than 200 finance and administration staff within Transfield Services.” The new CFO will have a busy first few weeks as the shire is due to present its annual budget this month. It was due to be discussed by councillors yesterday (Monday) but has been postponed till 27 April. The proposed budget will go on public exhibition.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Heavy rainfall produces good crops Compiled by Melissa Walsh TENDERS are called in this issue for additions and alterations to the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute. *** THE treasurer of the collecting committee of the Frankston Belgian Relief Fund acknowledges with thanks the receipt from Mrs Hay of 14s 4d, the proceeds of raffle of an accordion. The winning number is 69, Miss Smith. *** A GENERAL meeting of members and friends of the Somerville Red Cross Society will be held in the Horticultural Hall at Somerville on Thursday next, to which all are made welcome. The evening will be spent in amusement. Refreshments will also be provided. *** THE long looked for rain has come at last, and the anxiety felt by all has been allayed by a bountiful downfall. From Saturday to Monday last the rainfall registered at Frankston was 181 points. *** THE Hon A. Downward has received a communication from the Department of Public Works, stating, that owing to representations made by that gentleman, tenders for repairs to the jetty at Frankston will be invited next week. *** THE Harvest Festival in connection with St. Paul’s Church, Frankston, will be celebrated on Sunday. There will be three services, at 8, 11 and 7. On Monday night a sale will be held at the

schoolroom of fruit, vegetables and other gifts. *** OUR readers are reminded of the Concert to he held at Langwarrin on Wednesday next, in aid of the Belgian Relief Fund, under the auspices of the Langwarrin Tennis Club. For the convenience of those going from Frankston, a cab will leave the bank corner at 7 o’clock in the evening. *** TONIGHT! “All a Mistake.” St. Paul’s Club Frankston. Be there sharp at 8.15 to see this three-act comedy. The members of this club, who so successfully presented “Who’s Who?” last year, have worked hard and long to make an equal success of this, the second three act piece that they have staged. You should not miss a chance like this. *** THERE was a good attendance at the Cranbourne races on Thursday last. There were large fields for most of the events, and an interesting day’s sport resulted. In the Second Division Handicap A. Wilcox’s gelding, Milloo, started favorite at 6 to 4 on, and won by a length. In the Steeplechase, Nimmo’s Brownbird was first, Shackleton’s Rizino, 2, and C. Grice’s Lord Emms, 3. *** MR H, C. Fischer, F.V O.A. the well-known Collins Street optician and optometrist, is again due to visit Frankston on Saturday, 8th May. Frankston people should regard themselves as fortunate that their needs in

this line are looked after by such a capable and painstaking optician as Mr Fischer, whose ability is so largely availed of in Melbourne. Mr Fischer may be consulted at Mrs Graham’s boarding house. *** WE call attention to the Frankston Patriotic Fund appearing in our advertisement columns today. A sum of £60 has been already forwarded to the Lord Mayor’s Belgian Relief Fund,in accordance with a resolution passed at a general meeting of the contributors to the Frankston Patriotic Fund, and by the same resolution the sums acknowledged today will be similarly sent. The Frankston Belgian Fund is still open and the Hon Treasurer (Dr Plowman) will be very pleased to receive further contributions. *** THE churches of the Frankston Methodist Circuit hold their annual effort in aid of Foreign Missions this week, commencing on Sunday last when the Rev J. W. Burton (Missionary deputation) held services in Frankston, Langwarrin, Somerville. The attendances were some what spoiled by the rain, but otherwise were most successful. The Rev gentleman also lectured during four evenings in the week at Tyabb, Somerville, Langwarrin, and Frankston, and gave most interesting addresses, basing remarks on missionary work in India. He spoke for about an hour and a half, and those present were most interested by the lucid description he gave of different forms of Indian life and worship.

*** THE official opening of the remodelled portion of the Frankston School, No 1464, took place on Tuesday afternoon, the ceremony being performed by the Hon. A. Downward, M.L.A. Mr F. Tate, Director of Education, also assisted in the ceremony. The attendance of parents was small, and the Board of Management was disappointed that they did not appear to take more interest in the welfare of their children, as considerable trouble had been gone to in order to make the function as successful as possible. The weather was a little unsettled, but hardly enough to account for the apparent indifference. The improvements made to the old building have been very marked, and as it now stands it is one of the best and up-to-date country schools in the State. *** THE excellent rain that fell at the latter end of last week has now put everything well in order and work of any kind can now be proceeded with the paddocks are looking green already and the oat crops will now make splendid headway. Mr A S Krouse reports a fall of 175 points from Friday to Monday morning. The fact that the local fruit crop has been a record one is now proved by the revenue returns at the local station. The returns show an increase on those of last year for each month in the year showing an increase for the quarter ending March 31st of over £50. The exact figures will be published in the May issue of the “Fruit World.”

*** ATTENTION is drawn to the advertisement of the entertainment for Friday evening next in aid of Church of England organ fund. The programme will consist entirely of Frankston talent, and, after the excellent programmes that have been provided by St Paul’s club are called to mind, this should be saying enough to ensue a full house. *** THE Easter fair in aid of the Methodist Church new building fund was held on Friday and Saturday last under bad weather conditions. The fair was opened on Friday evening by Cr Oates, President of the Shire and proved very successful. The large amount of £28 14s being realised. *** A VERY pretty wedding was celebrated at ‘All Saints’, Tyabb, on Monday morning, 5th inst, when there were joined together in the bonds of holy matrimony, Leslie Robert, second son of Mr and Mrs Slocombe, to Vera Gladys, second daughter of Mr J. H. Thornell, of ‘Hazelglen’, Tyabb. The church was prettily decorated with white geraniums and daisies, white roses and ivy. The bride was given away by her eldest brother, Mr S. A. Thornell, and wore a handsome white silk dress, with lace and pearl trimmings, also veil, and wreath of orange blossom. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 17 April, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Born to be wilder: a drive-by insult incident By Stuart McCullough I WAS dumbstruck. We were returning from a game of golf – a circumstance in and of itself as improbable as what was about to follow – when the unthinkable was thought and, even worse, said aloud. My friends, our clubs and I were crammed into my 1982 puke-green Daihatsu Charade and travelling along Coolart Road at a pace that rendered the speed limit largely aspirational. This was clearly too much for the car travelling immediately behind us. With my shoulders hunched over the wheel, their faces seemed to be pressed up against the rear view mirror. As I slowed to turn into the driveway, the impatient car pulled up alongside, a passenger wound down the window and yelled, “Out of the way, Gene Wilder!” It was the ultimate drive-by taunt. No sooner was the insult hurled in my direction than they were gone, presumably in search of other drivers to attack by reference to reclusive comedic screen actors. I could only pity the next person who might find himself on the wrong end of a Buster Keaton or Stan Laurel-based sledge. But as the car hurtled past, I struggle to come to terms with having just been the victim of a drive-by insult. My humiliation was not helped by the fact that my friends thought it hilarious. Rather than rushing to my defence or even offering to pursue the other car on foot to wreak some kind of bloody revenge, they instead applauded the heckler for saying out loud what they had obviously been thinking for some time. I was dumb-

struck. It was as though the veil had suddenly been lifted. Clearly there was no going back. Once that Pandora’s worm was loosed upon the world, it could never be coaxed back into its box. The brutal truth was as simple as it was shocking: in my late teenage years, I was a Gene Wilder look alike.

It would not be the last time I would be compared to someone famous but without exception these comparisons have been of an unflattering nature. Not once has my name been used in a sentence including George Clooney, Brad Pitt or anyone else that might be considered conventionally hand-

some. Instead, I get compared to Nicholas Cage, the odd looking guy that befriends Chunk in Goonies and, somewhat unfairly, Slingblade. There have, of course, been consequences. A friend once swore blind that I was the spitting image of Anthony Michael Hall in the film Weird Science and, to this day, I have been too afraid to watch the movie. Let me be clear: I think Gene Wilder is fantastic. I guess you could argue that some of his films are better than others but there’s so much to enjoy that any criticism seems petty. No one could play Leo Bloom in The Producers as well as Wilder, a fact borne out by the remake in 2005. His performance in Blazing Saddles may well be genius. While the rest of the cast is busy mugging for the camera with vaudevillian extravagance, Gene steals the movie by being perfectly understated. And then, of course, there’s Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. With a perfect blend of charm and menace, Wilder makes an unlovable character seem, if not lovable then at least not loathsome. Indeed, he makes you forget that, apparently on a whim, he shut down an entire factory and made everyone redundant before importing a colony of Oompa Loompas – presumably on 457 visas – offering only board and lodging in lieu of a wage. He has cavalier approach to safety and a commitment to food hygiene that might best be described a flat-out shonky. But despite these flaws, Gene imbues the inhuman with humanity. The film was so successful that it single-handedly skewed any

conception I had of what it was like to work in the manufacturing industry. I’ve only been to one chocolate factory. I was 12 or so at the time. In my mind, I imagined those responsible for making such wonderful things would be the happiest people on earth. The lady giving the tour emphasised that the workers were all entitled to eat as much chocolate coming off the conveyor belt as they wished. As we stepped onto the factory floor, those at the machines and conveyor belts weren’t high-fiving each other or singing. In fact, not a single soul was smiling, probably worried that their jobs might be outsourced to Oompa Loompas. I walked and watched as creamy chocolates travelled along the belt under the watchful eyes of the employees. As I passed, one of them looked up. She was a lady of ample proportions with a brown ring around her mouth and who had clearly taken the eat what you like policy of the company as a personal challenge. She raised a stubby finger in my direction and in a voice that could guide ships through fog declared, “Don’t look now but there’s a miniature Gene Wilder over by the soft centres”. Startled, I turned around hoping to see someone standing nearby before realising she was referring to me. Every eye in the factory suddenly swung in my direction and I wished that I was as invisible as a great glass elevator. There are, I suppose, worse people to be compared to. It’s just that I can’t see the resemblance. I guess some things can’t be avoided. It must be in my Genes. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Redlegs prove season is wide open PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt MT ELIZA proved that opposition teams weren’t simply making up the numbers after knocking over reigning premier Frankston YCW on Saturday. The Redlegs led by as much as 50 points in the third quarter before the Stonecats hit back in the last to give the scoreboard some respectability. There had been plenty of talk about the Stonecats leading into the opening round and many believed that they were head and shoulders above everyone else. After all, the Stonecats had added Dromana premiership players Daniel Waddell, Anthony Bruhn and Paul Minchington into the line-up, Lew Roberts returned and Luke Collins was a great get from Sale, despite not playing on Saturday. The only notable outs were Dale Carroll and Anthony ‘Bundy’ Barry (Western Bulldogs VFL). However, at quarter time at Wooralla Drive, the scoreboard (5.2 to 2.1) suggested we may have got it wrong. And despite the solid start, Mt Eliza did not ease up, leading by 38 points at half time and 40 points at three quarter time. Frankston YCW came back in the last quarter when Mt Eliza had put the cue in the rack, eventually going down by 19 points, 11.14 (80) to 15.9 (99). A jubilant Mt Eliza coach John Georgiou said the result was just reward for a strong preparation. “We had a solid pre-season and opted to really test ourselves during the practice matches,” Georgiou said. “That preparation really set us up to take the season on and I think the boys backed themselves and believed in each other to have a good season. “To beat a side like YCW, you need an even spread amongst the whole team and that was the most pleasing thing out of the game – everyone contributed. “Justin (Van Unen) may have kicked eight goals but it was the work done up the ground that resulted in those opportunities. “Don’t get me wrong, Justin was sensational and very hard to stop but it (the result) wasn’t all about one player. “Last year we were predictable in attack and this year I’d like to think that we have a few more options, which will give opposition sides a lot more to think about, than simply stopping Scott Lockwood (kicked three goals),”

Georgiou said. Many thought that the departure of John Meesen might hurt the Redlegs but Matt Lillie took the number one ruck job again and was superb, while Sammy Gill and Rohan Heasley were at their best. Kyle Hutchison, as well as Minchington and Bruhn, booted two each for the Stonecats while Craig Nankervis and Ash Eames were named amongst their better players. Frankston YCW coach Scott Mathers said before the game that whilst many were talking his side up, he didn’t believe there was a margin between his side and the rest of the competition. “You can always look good on paper but it’s how you get the job done on the ground that matters most,” Mathers said. “Last season matters little in 2015 and we all start equal. Let your guard down against any team and you’ll find yourself on some trouble,” Mathers said. Bonbeach hit back from its horror defeat on Good Friday and inflicted a nasty wound into Seaford. The Sharks, absolutely depleted after losing more than a dozen senior players over the pre-season, led at every change over the Tigers and restricted them to just 6.10 for the match. Chris Bryan booted four goals and is building into the season after a long lay-off, while son of a gun, Jackson Sole, along with Nathan Robinson with two goals were outstanding for the winners. Darragh Chadwick kicked three for the Tigers while Chris Fortnam and Ben Crowe stood up over the four quarters, as did teenager Rourke Fischer, who is VFL-listed with Collingwood. The result was a nasty one for the Tigers, who went into the game as favorites. Bonbeach won 12.10 (82) to 6.10 (46). In the worst game over the weekend, Pines made it two wins in succession after restricting Langwarrin to just five goals for the game. Pines didn’t kick their first goal until midway through the second quarter, however, booted five goals to three after the long interval to win 7.9 (51) to 5.7 (37). Kangaroos coach Gavin Artico said after the game that it was one of the worst games he had been involved in. “It was a pretty tough day at the

office. The game was riddled with mistakes, blokes fumbling, missing targets, it was very ordinary,” Artico said. “Pines just made more of their opportunities when it counted.” Langwarrin full forward Matty Dimkos again went down with a hamstring injury while Andrew Withers, the Kangas cleanest disposer of the footy, tweaked a knee. In positive news for the Kangas, Rikki Johnston, the obvious heir apparent to Artico, shut down Aaron Edwards and Nick Hammill kept Guy Hendry quiet. Luke Potts was a star for the Pythons, as was Taylor Strachan in the ruck and Jimmy Messina around the ground. Mornington booted 14 goals to two after half time to thrash Karingal 21.13 (139) to 6.9 (45). Dale Nolan booted five goals and a further 11 players contributed on the scoreboard for the Doggies. Adam Symes and Ben Wells were two of the best players on the park while Ben Clements also made a solid contribution to the demolition. Hadley Tomamichael kicked three for the Bulls, while Aaron and Grant Paxton collected the top votes. Unfortunately, it’s going to be another long season for the Bulls.

Eagles hit back SOMERVILLE coach David ‘Budda’ Hirst has hit back at the rumours and gossip surrounding his club. The most damning rumour that has been doing the rounds is that the Somerville Football Club had taken out a bank loan to pay for the many recruits they have attracted in the off-season. The Eagles have landed Tim McGennis (North Melbourne), Billy Rolfe, Josh Westerman (YCW), Scott Simpson (Dolphins), Adrian Speedy (Mornington), Tom Shaw (Seaford) and Rohan Hogenbirk (returned) in 2015.

Footy’s back! Pines season off to a flyer with win over Langwarrin. Pic: Gary Bradshaw

Hirst was quick to shut that down! “I don’t know how a footy club would even get a loan – that’s just ridiculous to say,” Hirst said. “The truth is that when we spoke to a couple of players about coming over, others wanted to make the move too and play with their mates. “The players we have recruited could get a lot more money playing elsewhere but they just want to play together. “It has created a situation where we can’t play them all together because of the Player Points System, however, they are all understanding of that. “When you get the calibre of players we have recruited who want to come to your club and they understand the situation (that they might have to play in the reserves), how can you knock them back. “I think it’s great for our footy club

that we have players who want to play here,” Hirst said.

Blues make early statement in big win NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt HASTINGS made a statement to the rest of the Nepean League competition on Saturday when it dominated all afternoon to beat glamour side Rye. The Blues showed aggression and intent from the outset and stamped itself as a genuine threat for the 2015 title, winning 15.12 (102) to 10.11 (71). Whilst some at the Hastings FC were jumping up and down about the perceived lack of respect for the work done in the off-season at the club, coach Brendan Dunne was ‘more than happy’ with the low profile of the club leading into the first game. Dunne was ecstatic after the match, pointing to a solid pre-season, greater commitment to team ethic and a will to succeed as the driving factors going into 2015. “There has been a lot of hype about other clubs because some of them have picked-up a heap of recruits, however, I’d rather just worry about what we can control, go about our business and concentrate on getting the job done,” Dunne said. And get the job done they did, the Blues dominating from the first bounce. They were harder at the contest, had a much better work ethic and a great desire for the hard ball. It wasn’t only the recruits who stood up for the Blues, it was the obvious improvement from some of the existing players on the list. Josh Mulheron was superb. The reigning club best and fairest winner beat both former Hawthorn ruckman Simon Taylor and Rhett Sutton in the ruck. Steve Charalambous had 28 disposals and kicked a goal, Dale Alanis was back to his elusive best with two goals, Steve Robb clearly has taken yet another leap in his career and was dominant with his forward pressure, Richie Vandenham was vintage, Taylor Stratton booted two and had 27 touches, Kain Stratton shut down Adrian Gileno after he got off the leash early, the underrated Lance Brouwer made it difficult for any tall in the Rye forward line and Daniel Noble was very good in the ruck and around the ground. Brendan Dunne was back to his best, marshalling the troops, throwing his head over the footy, laying tackles and doing the one-percenters that have made him a champion player.

Of the recruits, Luke Clark was the pick of them with seven goals in a best-on-ground display. Shaun Foster just kept on presenting, Matthew Clifford racked-up possessions all over the ground, Daniel Dickinson added some flare and great kicking to the team and Scott Jansen, who has missed two years of footy with a knee, was dynamite. Dunne, who debuted Jansen as a 16-year-old when he was coaching Karingal, was ecstatic for Jansen. “He is a great kid with enormous ability and we saw a fair bit of that today,” Dunne said after the match. “He has had rotten luck in his short career but his body is right, he’s really excited about playing footy again and he is going to be a very valuable member of this footy team.” Rye was ordinary. It lacked appetite for the contest, many of its wellheralded recruits racked-up posessions but didn’t want to put their head over the footy and it lacked any bite in attack, outside of Gileno, who finished with four. Ryan Mullet worked his way into the game after a slow start and was running on top of the ground by the end, Dean Millhouse was tireless down back and Steve Daniher, son of Terry, continually drove the team into attack. Rhett Sutton was a lifeline in the second half, however, was forced to play back. Simon Taylor was towelled-up in the ruck and if the Demons are to be successful, Taylor needs to do more around the ground and allow Sutton to stay forward more permanently. The sooner the Demons can talk Ben Holmes to come back the better. They lack a target and shouldn’t be relying on Harrison Wilson, who is a star of the future, along with Brady Egan and Andrew Dean, who are already young guns, to shoulder the responsibility. I hear talk of the club perhaps wanting coach Josh Moore to concentrate on coaching and forgetting about playing. A message to the Rye faithful, Moore is a ball magnet, running machine and has a thirst for the contest. He’s fit and you need him in the middle getting the footy out! Rosebud restricted Frankston Bombers to just 16 scoring shots on their way to a commanding 15.16 (106) to 7.9 (51) victory. With new coach Beau Muston holidaying overseas and unavailable, the Bombers booted two goals in the opening half. Matt Baker was superb in attack

for the Buds with three goals while Jack Jarman and Ryan Spooner dominated. Tyler Blake and Jordan Walker were the best of the Bombers. Pearcedale’s shocking pre-season translated into a train wreck of a round one game against Devon Meadows. Devon had 33 scoring shots to just 13 and won 18.15 (123) to 7.6 (48). Troy Aust booted four for the winners while a further nine players contributed on the scoreboard. Pat Harmes was clearly the best player on the ground, dominating in the ruck and around the ground, while skipper Steve McInnes was superb. Dwayne Bowes and Matt White were the best of the less than ordinary Dales. Red Hill knocked over a depleted Crib Point as expected. Magpies coach Duane Annable said before the game that five of his best 14 players were either underdone or not playing early in the season. It was always going to have an impact on the wide open spaces of Red Hill. The Hillmen hit the post five times and kicked poorly at goal generally, winning 12.18 (90) to 5.9 (39). Michael Mock was outstanding down back for the winners, Daniel McNamara and Matt Dillon were at their best and Seamus Thomson was outstanding in the ruck. Michael Chaplin and Matty Vagg both kicked goals (three and two respectively) in the reserves and should make their way into the team in the coming weeks. Dylan Neal and Ryan Blake were also in the reserves. Daniel Edwards and Lee Koerner were the best of the Pies, who still had the likes of Brad Davidson, Luke Herrington, John Ransom, Brad Arnold, Waide Symes and Dean Warry in the team. The Pies had Sam Austin, Jack Johnson, Sam Adams, Matt Sloper, Michael Cook and Josh PembertonBuchanan in the magoos.

Hastings off to a new season flyer HASTINGS FNC

By Phil Stone, club president SENIORS REPORT TODAY was round 1 for us and round 2 for Rye so it was always going to be interesting to see how it panned out. Rye have all the boom recruits in the comp this year and we had a big focus on playing team first footy and our pressure must be up at all times. One of our main focus points was to stay in game at all times and never give in and the boys achieved this it was fantastic, we out muscled Rye but also outran them. We had some really good performances: Luke Clark kicked 7 goals on debut for the club, Stevie Robb and Stephen Charalombous were also fantastic and Dale Alannis’s pressure up forward was great, Kain Stratton played with jet-like speed and did a really great job and Luke Hewitt’s second half was massive playing on Rye’s number 7. Special mention to Daniel Wishart for his aggressive approach throughout the day. There was no secret to winning this game. We just worked really hard did the team things well and competed for 100 per cent of the game. Great win and well done. Final score: Hastings 15.12 (102) to Red Hill10.11 (71). RESERVES FINALLY round 1 came around after a long preseason and we played Rye at home. The first quarter was high inten-

sity football from both sides and Rye slipped away to a 3-goal lead. Into the second quarter the boys lifted and scored some quick goals to be even going into the half-time break. The boys came out in the third quarter and lifted their pressure to finally break the game open with some fantastic play to get a five-goal lead at three quarter time. In the final quarter the boys were urged to continue on with the run and pressure and they did just that in a great display of team football to run away with a great win at home. UNDER 19S A rampant Hastings under 19s steam rolled Rye in a 99 point season opening win. With all the possession early Hastings couldn’t capitalise on the scoreboard. A classy goal from Daniel Culnane just before the first break put Hastings 2 goals ahead. From here on out it was all Hastings though, using slick ball movement and teamwork. Stephen Williams took off from where he left off last year proving a big handful down back and in the mid. First gamers for the 19s Sean Hewitt and Liam Rogan (3 goals) were also dominant. Hastings came away with a satisfying 99 point victory, the perfect momentum builder for the Anzac Day clash against the Bombers. There are still places available for any new Under 19 boys wanting a kick this season. Call Philip Stone on 0412 226 758.

Underdone Crib fall to Red Hill CRIB POINT FC

By Jared Newton CRIB POINT started kicked off its 2015 campaign with a 51 point loss to a fit and firing Red Hill at Red Hill on Saturday. It was clear early in the piece it was going to be a difficult day for the underdone Pies with Red Hill’s run causing plenty of headaches. The loss probably reflected where Pies are at right at the minute, and if they want another season similar to 2014, they’ll need to recover quickly as the shorter 16 game season leaves less margin for error. Despite the loss there were positives, the Pies managed to get their hands on the ball, but their inefficiency meant they struggled to convert that into scoreboard pressure. In another upside, players not part of last year’s grand final side managed to be among Crib’s better players which should hold them in good stead when injured players start making their way back into the side. Mitch Kleinig kicked 2, Jon Ransom was solid down back after three seasons out of the game and Danny Edwards parlayed his solid pre-season into a solid game from the midfield. The story in the reserves was a similar story to the seniors with the Pies going down by 51 points to a side fitter and harder running. The reserves were jumped early with a five goal to one first quarter and never really recovered from there. Despite going goal for goal throughout the 2nd and 3rd quarters, the Pies were always on

Western Port News 14 April 2015

the back foot and never really got into a groove. Co-captains Michael Cook and Sam Austin were Crib’s best in the loss. The under 19s opened their account with a thumping 78 point win over Red Hill in the early game. The change to the 19s from 18s has meant the boys are largely going into a third season together and really have a sense of how each other play and it showed in their performance as they piled on 12 goals to 1 after half time. Tristan Precht was best afield with 4 goals through the midfield, while Tyler Wilton snagged 4 from forward/ruck. Final score: Red Hill 12.18 (90) to Crib Point 5.9 (39). This week the club hosts its first home game of the year as they tackle a red hot Rosebud who will be every bit as challenging as Red Hill proved on Saturday. It’ll be a great day of local footy so if you’re in the area and looking for some cheap entertainment on a Saturday get to Crib and watch some quality local footy between two quality clubs.

Bold, new 2016 Outlander previewed in New York THE new-look 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander SUV has broken cover overnight at the New York International Motor Show just weeks ahead of its arrival in Australia. Mitsubishi Motors officially unveiled the sharper styled, more refined 2016 Outlander SUV, marking a new era for the brand in design excellence, refinement and overall driver engagement. Distinguished by dramatic new front and rear styling, the 2016 Outlander is the first Mitsubishi production vehicle to feature the company’s striking new “Dynamic Shield” design concept, which gives Outlander a fresh, sophisticated on-road presence. Inside, the Outlander’s comfortable and functional interior is embellished with a new design steering wheel design and premium grade materials deployed in the seat trim, headliner and interior accents. Mitsubishi has made multiple design and engineering upgrades to Outlander, including increased body and suspension structural rigidity, redesigned suspension and Electric Power Steering, noise-isolating windscreen and tailgate glass, more sound insulation throughout the vehicle, new dynamic front suspension and rear differential dampers. Additionally, the new generation continuously-variable transmission offers improved acceleration, performance, shift feel and torque delivery. Mitsubishi Motors Australia Executive Director of Marketing Tony Principe said the new

Same store, new look

Outlander is an example of the enormous energy and investment Mitsubishi is currently devoting to product development and research and design. “The smarter, more refined 2016 Outlander is part of a major product and style rebirth taking place within MMC, and reflects the company’s stronger focus on quality, technology and design excellence,” he said. “The changes to Outlander are more than cosmetic, with numerous engineering improvements made to Outlander’s suspension and steering system, NVH package and drivetrain performance. “Outlander will continue to offer great SUV functionality, terrific fuel economy and low running costs but will now be significantly quieter, more responsive and even more enjoyable to drive, making it a real stand out in the medium SUV class.” MMAL will announce details of its local revised Outlander range at launch later this month.

You don’t buy an Isuzu D-MAX or MU-X just to get from A to B. You buy one for the experiences they help deliver. For the features that help you go out and discover more - like the powerful and efﬁcient 3.0L turbo diesel engine or the outstanding towing capacity. They’re no-nonsense vehicles, for no-nonsense drivers. People who choose camping under the night sky, over a night-in. Whose holiday home is a caravan towed to the middle of nowhere. Who prefer off-road more than on. People who go their own way.
