Info centre for tourism

By Mike Hast WESTERN Port Tourism will open an information centre on Saturday 8 September near the corner of High and Salmon streets in Hastings.

The centre is a key element in the revival of the group, which was disbanded in 2009 and re-formed last month.

The info centre will be in Dominion Hill Gifts, which is owned by Western Port Chamber of Commerce president Lisa Dixon.

Ms Dixon is reorganising her shop to make room for the information centre.

Dominion Hill also will change direction, concentrating on Australian and locally made products.

The tourism group’s president, Brian Holmes, who runs the cafe at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville, said the info centre would be staffed by volunteers and open seven days a week.

He said signs directing tourists to the centre would be erected on FrankstonFlinders Rd either end of Hastings, on the Esplanade and on Peninsula Link

freeway, due to open early next year.

It was hoped signs would be installed on other key roads in the district.

Mr Holmes said Sarah Law of the chamber of commerce was organising a website and a logo.

A big TV screen would be installed to show advertising of tourism attractions. Another initiative would be bus

trips once a month to take tourism operators to see other attractions so they can better cross-promote each other.

The tourism group was in discussions with a Melbourne radio station, the peninsula’s community radio station RPP-FM and Channel 31 about promotions, he said.

Clean Ocean aims at Bass Coast

By Keith Platt CLEAN Ocean Foundation is moving its office to Wonthaggi from where it will focus its energies on opposing the discharge of pollution from the desalination plant on the coast near Kilcunda.

The organisation’s president Pete Smith says Clean Ocean will not be disbanded and still intends to keep the state government to its word about closing the sewage outfall at Gunnamatta and cleaning up discharge from the Mt Martha treatment plant.

“The last month has seen some lively debate over the future direction of the Clean Ocean Foundation. With so much of the original vision almost realised, the association entered a period of necessary introspection,” Mr Smith told The News on Monday.

His statements – in a news release headed “Clean Ocean back from the brink and into the drink” – followed the closing of the foundation’s Rosebud office amid allegations by outgoing CEO James Clark-Kennedy of mismanagement (‘Clean Ocean bows out’, The News, 31/7/12).

Mr Clark-Kennedy questioned the probity of decisions on the future of the foundation – including that it be wound up – being made by the committee headed by Mr Smith without reference to its members.

The meeting was held on Friday 13 July. The following day Mr ClarkKennedy was notified that Clean Ocean no longer required his “contracted services”.

Mr Smith said on Monday that the foundation would continue “as nor-

desalination plant. The foundation is back from the brink and into the drink; we have had our period of introspection and we are now moving forward to tackle one of Victoria’s greatest environmental challenges,” Mr Smith stated.

“The outfall from this plant will be three times the volume of the daily outflow of effluent that is disposed of at Gunnamatta.

“This outfall is called a ‘brine stream’ by the managing authorities, but critics call it a toxic cocktail of chemicals and waste from the desalination process.

“There is also a very large volume of sludge produced and as yet there is very little information as to how this will be disposed.”

Mr Smith said Clean Ocean had worked well with a Bass Coast group of members who had an action plan “to develop a transparent testing regime to monitor this outfall and sludge” and photograph the marine environment in the proposed discharge area.

“This is a major step in the continuity of the mission of the foundation,” Mr Smith stated.

“This issue is as serious as the Gunnamatta problem and will require dedication and tenacity. The campaign will highlight this issue in the community and at government level.”

Mr Smith said the foundation would continue to monitor the Carrum treatment plant upgrade to tertiary standard “and keep active pressure on South East Water, which has been lagging in its upgrade program around the Mt Martha treatment process”.

Fighting on: Clean Ocean Foundation is moving, not closing, says to its president Pete Smith.

mal” until a general meeting was held toward the end of the year.

He did not intend to seek re-appointment as president, but would be on the committee “if that’s what people want”.

Mr Smith said the foundation had been formed nearly 12 years ago. In 2005 “as pressure from Clean Ocean looked likely to secure a commitment to upgrade the Eastern Treat-

ment Plant, an ambitious strategy was developed to shut down not only Gunnamatta but also all 142 outfalls around the country”.

“Now, in 2012, works on the Eastern Treatment Plant [near Carrum] are well under way and tertiary upgrade is near completion [and] the association is preparing a campaign against the next target on the list – the Bass Coast

THE Western Port Chamber of Commerce took the unprecedented step on Monday afternoon of emailing a circular warning traders of children reaping havoc in the town.

The boys, believed to be between 8 and 12, were claiming to be suspended from school.

“Police have been made aware of them,” said chamber spokesperson Sarah Law. Reports of damage include a foodfight in a bakery and throwing fruit at a greengrocer’s shop.

“They have been throwing rubbish, being rude toward shoppers and causing damage to both property (private and council-owned) and products in stores,” Ms Law stated.

The chamber of commerce has urged traders and shoppers to ring Hastings police on 5970 7800 if they experience any antisocial behaviour from these or other children.

If major damage or an accident has occurred that requires urgent assistance, call 000.

“I hope if enough calls are made to the police, a stronger presence around the shops will deter these children from causing distress to shopowners and customers,” Ms Law stated.

“I also will be raising this issue at the Community Action Safety meeting at the Community Hub tomorrow and will let you know of any outcomes.”

Snake charmers

WORK continues on Western Portâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guinness world record attempt to create a fabric and knitted snake longer than the current world record of 1284 metres. Hastings crafters met on Monday to measure the mountains of donated snake pieces. Colleen Astbury, front, crocheted 35 metres of snake for the attempt. Other donations have resulted in 1421 metres of colourful â&#x20AC;&#x153;snake skinâ&#x20AC;?.

Hastings Community Centre manager Lisa Glover said constructing and stuffing the lengths begins this week. Donations of toy fill or cushion stuffing are still needed and can be dropped off at the community house at 185 High St by the end of August. Picture: Yanni

Shipyard SOS for manufacturers

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON boat builder Mal Hart says governments must do more to protect Australian manufacturing.

His comments came after a visit to his factory on Wednesday last week

by Opposition leader Tony Abbott and federal MP Bruce Billson, whose electorate stretches from Seaford to Mt Martha.

Mr Abbott was at Hart Marine as part of his national anti-carbon tax roadshow.

The visit was arranged by Mr Billson, who has known Mr Hart for some years, and drew journalists and photographers from the three peninsula newspapers as well as crews from three TV stations.

The Opposition leader fielded questions about border protection, federal treasurer Wayne Swan, the planned east-west freeway link in Melbourne and foreign investment.

But he was in Mornington to continue his criticism of the federal government’s carbon price, introduced in July to force big polluters to change the way they do business.

Mr Abbott has had great success with his mantra of a “great big new tax on everything”, but the government has failed to sell the message that setting a price on carbon will encourage the creation of renewable sources of energy, reduce energy consumption, and improve energy efficiency.

Hart Marine is a world leader in building pilot boats based on a French design. It has built the distinctive wave-cutting boats for Port Phillip Sea Pilots, the Port of Albany in WA and

is about to start two for a company involved in the Gorgon gas project.

Mr Hart was happy to lend his support to Mr Abbott’s anti-tax roadshow, but conceded the high Australian dollar had made it hard for manufacturers in recent times. “It has made manufacturers become uncompetitive very quickly.”

“My concern is that manufacturers in this country need to be looked after,” he told The News from Perth on Monday night.

“We don’t need a carbon tax or high payroll tax or the other bits and pieces that affect our competitiveness.”

There was not much that could be done about the high dollar, but “we can do something about the carbon tax, mining tax and payroll tax”.

Manufacturing was fundamental to Australia remaining one of the great countries of the world, he said.

Hart Marine had been successful “because we want the business and we’ve managed to keep costs and overheads down”.

He said the company had invested heavily in technology to build pilot boats and would need to construct 10 before getting a return on investment.

The company has three on the water, two on its order books and has fielded inquiries from the United States, Argentina and India.

“Port Phillip Sea Pilots could have bought their boats overseas, but chose to support Australian business. Now we want the government to do the same,” he said.

Mr Hart said the effect of the carbon tax on his business had not yet been quantified.

Hinterland hall safe – mayor RED Hill Hall in Mechanics Rd will not be demolished, says shire mayor Cr Frank Martin.

Cr Martin told a meeting of the Red Hill Ward Consultative Group in July the hall would be pulled down (‘Demolition for hinterland hall’, The News, 26/7/12).

At a council meeting soon after, director of sustainable organisation Kevin Clarke answered a question from the gallery and said the hall would not be demolished. On Tuesday, Cr Martin said there had been “a bit of confusion about” plans for the hall. “The hall that is to be demolished, or is earmarked for demolition, is not that hall, but the old pavilion at Red Hill Recreation Ground.”

He said the pavilion was closed and was more than likely to be demolished soon, he said.

If it was going to cost $1-1.5 million to renovate, “the money would be better spent on the hall” built about three years ago at Red Hill Recreation Reserve to provide room for groups other than the football and cricket club.

PUBLIC and political protests, a Facebook page and plenty of misinformation surrounded plans to fix the rotting timbers of Hastings pier.

But all that was cast aside on Monday as anglers welcomed the sun

The hollow concrete pontoons filled with polystyrene were made in Queensland.

Surfing sailors heading south for home

Homeward bound: Ted Bainbridge, front, used his mobile phone to take this photo of himself and fellow sailors Bernie O’Hanlon and David Whiteley off the New South Wales north coast on Tuesday last week.

By Keith Platt TED Bainbridge is lying in a bunk.

The 56hp diesel engine is chugging along steadily while the sails pick up whatever wind they can to help the boat progress down the New South Wales coast.

The day is sunny and Bainbridge and two fellow sailors Bernie O’Hanlon and David Whiteley have spent the morning spotting whales and studying weather patterns to decide when it will be best to seek a safe anchor before heading for home on the Mornington Peninsula.

They are about to begin the last leg of a nine-month journey to Rye that has seen them sail almost halfway around the world from the Bahamas.

Bainbridge and Whiteley, who lives in Perth, left Australia in October last year to pick up Glamorous Galah, a Beneteau Oceanis 393 sloop, in the British Virgin Islands. Before Christmas they sailed down to St Lucia where they were joined by O’Hanlon,

of Rye, for the start of the World ARC Rally.

Glamorous Galah was the smallest monohull of the 30 boats in the fleet that sailed to the San Blas Islands, through the Panama Canal, Los Perlas Islands, Galapagos, Marquesas, Tuamotos, Society Islands, Suvarrow, Nuie, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu and Noumea.

They arrived at Coffs Harbour last Wednesday and this weekend should be at Pittwater in Sydney waiting for the weather to clear before heading to Eden and then home.

The rest of the fleet is in Mackay and will make its way around the world via Bali, South Africa and South America.

When speaking to The News on Tuesday afternoon, Bainbridge said Glamorous Galah was off NSW’s Seal Rocks after leaving Coffs Harbour about midday on Monday.

He had been “snoozing in my bunk” aboard “this caravan on the sea” before getting up to prepare dinner for O’Hanlon and Whiteley and even-

tually taking his turn at the helm.

Keen surfers – four boards are attached to their boat’s radar arch – the trio has managed to find waves in most of the ports of call.

Bainbridge, co-owner of the Peninsula Surf Centre stores, described a day surfing a wave “something like Pines [at Shoreham] on a perfect atoll in the Cook Islands that was uninhabited, although someone lived there as a recluse in the 1950s”.

The memories are plentiful, but overwhelming and Bainbridge is a bit stumped when asked for some other highlights of the trip.

There were seals on the steps of the post office on the Galapagos Islands, warm water and the many different kinds of wildlife encountered sailing across the Pacific Ocean.

It is all probably a bit much to ask him such a random question.

“It’s been amazing and fantastic, but I’m really looking forward to getting home after nine months at sea.”

Picture: Yanni

THE 6.7km Arthurs Seat Challenge has been running each year since 2002, lifting the profile and raising money for the Fit to Drive Program.

Fit to Drive is a road safety awareness program provided to Year 11 students at every secondary school on the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston.

“It was the tragic loss of young life in car crashes in 1999 and 2000 in our community that saw the beginning of Fit to Drive, an initiative that was a direct and impassioned response from school principals who accepted the challenge of reducing the toll and helping to save young lives,” coordinator Michelle Pitcher said.

This year’s challenge starts at Rosebud pier at 8.30am on Sunday 11 November and finishes at the top of Arthurs Seat. Students of Mt Eliza Secondary College, Toorak College and Rosebud Secondary College as well as

school principals were at Arthurs Seat to launch the event on 1 August.

Also at the launch were Education Minister and Nepean MP Martin Dixon, representatives of event sponsors Mornington Peninsula News Group, Bendigo Bank Rye and Dromana, Nicholas Lynch Real Estate, Monash University, the Sports Injury Clinic and the Southern Peninsula Classic and Historic Car Club.

“The Arthurs Seat Challenge provides a fantastic opportunity for schools, families and community members to rally together and raise awareness of the over-representation of young people in road crashes, in the hope we can continue to make a difference and alleviate the pain road trauma causes,” Ms Pitcher said.

New mayor and councillor coordinator comes from SA

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s mayor and councillors have a new support team coordinator, the second in less than two years.

Megan Smith beat a field of more than 100 for the plum job.

She replaces Paula Creek, who has taken the role of wedding coordinator at Peppers Moonah Links Resort in Fingal. She was previously executive assistant to the commanding officer at HMAS Cerberus In February last year, Ms Creek replaced the legendary Pat Anderson,

who started with the Shire of Mornington in 1993. At her farewell she was photographed with nine former mayors and the 2011 mayor, Graham Pittock.

Ms Anderson, who has become a civil celebrant, was described as having a boundless knowledge of names and personalities on the peninsula.

Megan Smith, 26, previously worked for her stepfather, South Australian federal Liberal MP Patrick Secker.

Mr Secker made headlines in SA earlier this year for employing his wife Sharon, her daughter Megan Smith and Megan’s partner, Jared Newton, in an office of six people.

Soon after Mr Secker lost preselection for his safe seat of Barker, which he has held since 1998.

Mr Newton, 29, recently started working for Flinders federal MP Greg Hunt as a policy and communications officer at Mr Hunt’s office in Hastings.

Mr Newton returned to Crib Point Football Club in June and joined the club’s Reserves team, which he captained in 2005 and 2006. In SA he played with Imperial Football Club in the River Murray Football League. He is a prolific football blogger.

He worked for Liberal Senator Judith Troeth before moving to SA.

The shire’s job description for “Coordinator, mayor and councillor support team” stated it was “seeking an energetic, enthusiastic and highly experienced individual to be responsible for coordinating the activities of the mayor and councillors office with professionalism and diplomacy”.

“As coordinator you will lead a small team to provide a wide range of executive, secretarial and administrative support to the mayor and councillors.

You will be responsible and accountable for meeting agreed priorities and performance standards, and meeting strict schedules.”

There are three people on the mayor and councillors’ support team.

When Pat Anderson left last February, the support team was moved from governance and corporate support manager Noel Buck’s department to CEO Michael Kennedy’s office.

On Wednesday, the mayor Cr Frank Martin said he and deputy mayor Anne Shaw had met Ms Smith for a coffee.

“We are very pleased with the appointment; she is likeable and comes highly recommended,” he said.

None of the nine other councillors had any input into Ms Smith’s appointment.

for enjoyable retirement

CONSTRUCTION of the multistorey car park at Frankston Hospital has revived memories of an act of generosity that had far-reaching effects.

In 1987 concreter Garry Ellis gathered a few of his friends and colleagues and replaced what was then a grass helipad with a concrete one, complete with a gravelled access road for the ambulances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all really came about one morning after I had finished work,â&#x20AC;? said his wife Gay, who at the time was a senior night duty nurse in the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had told Garry the ambulance drivers had been complaining that it was difficult to drive up to the helipad and they were always getting bogged and sliding on the grass.â&#x20AC;?

After hearing of the problems, Mr Ellis contacted the hospital and a few of his friends and contacts and had the project organised within a week.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the time Garry was working for Pioneer Concreting,â&#x20AC;? Gay said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He organised to have all the concrete and use of the trucks and machinery donated by Pioneer, and even contacted local quarries to get sand and gravel donated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just wanted to give something back to his community and to the hospital.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Ellis has since died and the construction of the new multi-storey car park has led to his helipad being removed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is because of his selflessness that many critical patients were able to easily access the air ambulances and receive the medical treatment they needed,â&#x20AC;? the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director Brendon Gardener said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Garryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy will still remain intact with plans to recognise his generous efforts at Frankston Hospital.â&#x20AC;?

Parks a govt development target

By David Harrison TOURIST development in Victoria’s parks – including Arthurs Seat, Greens Bush and Point Nepean parks on the peninsula – is almost certainly on the state government’s agenda following its controversial plan to open green wedge zones for business.

The state government agenda could include a revival of the notorious Kennett government’s “hotels in parks” plan.

Under this scheme, then conservation minister Marie Tehan proposed a 150-bed licensed lodge for Tidal River at Wilsons Promontory and a 45-bed serviced lodge and four huts for the use of commercial operations in remote areas of the park.

It led to fierce and widespread public opposition that saw the plan dropped.

Extensive work has already been done developing Point Nepean National Park. It is one of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s top tourist priorities – “accommodation, conferencing and marine infrastructure at Point Nepean”. A boutique hotel has been mooted.

Speculation about the Baillieu government’s further plans to open up Victoria for tourism stems from the main wellspring of Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s proposals for the green wedge – the 2011 report Unlocking Victorian Tourism by Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission.

Under the heading “Key messages” the report states: “National parks are a popular destination for interstate and international visitors but a lack of quality accommodation on or near these parks diminishes their value to the community.

“The commission recommends the government remove the prohibition on private development of tourist facilities in national parks where they provide a net benefit and complement

environmental, heritage and other values.”

The Labor government-initiated inquiry was chaired by economist Dr Matthew Butlin, assisted by Deborah Cope and Bill Mountford, also economists.

Understandably, their report focuses strongly on the economic aspects of tourist development.

In its introduction the report states: “... the growing wealth in Asia (especially China and India) has produced strong growth in inbound tourism to Australia and Victoria from these destinations, thus creating opportunities for tourism-related businesses in Victoria.

“As a result the tourism market is changing. To capitalise on the new opportunities that arise from these changes, tourism businesses need to be able to respond and adapt.”

It argues “The Victorian government can directly influence the competitiveness of tourism-related businesses ... through the way it manages state-owned attractions such as the national parks, forests and sporting and cultural facilities.”

“Regulatory hotspots” the VCEC focuses on include:  Land use planning regulation and administration.  Regulations relating to the use of public land, especially state and national parks.

It identifies the peninsula as the seventh-most popular tourist destination for visitors to Victoria, behind the Queen Victoria Market and ahead of Ballarat/Sovereign Hill, Bendigo and Phillip Island.

The report gives the Baillieu government impressive expert opinion to support plans for park development.

The VCEC report was preceded by a Howard government plan to open up

national parks to private operators.

In July 2007 the then minister for tourism, Fran Bailey, told the ABC she wanted “to get commercial tourism operators involved in developing facilities in national parks”.

Months later federal Labor took office and the “partnership” has not been heard of since.

Mr Guy’s green wedge and other rural zone proposals strongly echo the VCEF recommendations that “regulatory barriers” to tourism ventures be removed by providing “more flexibility” in current zonings and local policies.

The VCEC says this flexibility would:  Allow a wider range of tourismrelated activities such as tourist accommodation, function centres, recreation facilities and restaurants.  Remove the requirement to undertake tourism-related activities “in conjunction with” specific activities such as agriculture.  Remove the arbitrary limits on the scale of tourism-related activities, such as the limits on B&B, restaurant and residential accommodation.

All this “flexibility” is provided in Mr Guy’s green wedge proposals, indicating clearly that he has studied and agrees with the VCEC approach.

Mr Guy is effectively proposing abolition of all the controls on green wedge land that ban large-scale development of accommodation and tourist-orientated businesses such as restaurants, convention centres and residential accommodation.

It is only a short step from opening up the green wedge to permitting the same businesses to establish in state and national parks.

Another critical consequence of Mr Guy’s green wedge proposals, whether intended or not, is that urban growth

boundaries, which clearly separate what is urban from what is green, are blurred almost to invisibility by permitting previously banned commercial activity on small lots abutting urban areas.

Mornington Peninsula Shire officers privately say they are horrified by, and will strongly oppose, Mr Guy’s changes to its valuable – economically and aesthetically – green wedge, which covers 70 per cent of the peninsula and is a substantial element in its attraction to tourists and locals.

The shire had not publicly voiced its opposition three weeks after the Guy plans were released.

There is also almost total silence from Labor and, more interestingly, from the Greens, for whom a matter seemingly aimed at emasculating green wedges protections should be reflexive.

An assault on parks in the shire – Arthurs Seat State Park is already compromised by the planned new chairlift – should stiffen its determination to oppose the Guy plans.

The chairlift group could apply for park access to build accommodation, restaurants, convention centres, a service station and possibly even a medical centre.

The shire’s current local planning scheme aims to:  “Protect and conserve the rural landscape and character of the peninsula as a major recreational resource for both the local and wider metropolitan community.”

(Mr Guy’s plans, and possible state government park plans, could make this almost impossible to achieve.)  “Support the continued agricultural use of land by avoiding the establishment of uses that may exclude or limit legitimate rural activities and farm management practice.”

(Green wedge and park land would come under severe pressure from developers keen to cash in on the Guy vision of the green wedge hosting facilities including medical centres, schools, abattoirs, service stations and largescale accommodation – many of them as-of-right, meaning no community right to object or appeal.)  “Promote the growth of major and township activity centres and avoid inappropriate out-of-centre commercial developments.”

(The shire has tried to control the growth of camping and caravan parks – currently a permitted use on green wedge land – by proposing limits to the number of sites per park and their proximity to urban areas. It so far has been unsuccessful.

Mr Guy’s plans would not only allow these parks but would encourage their development into de facto villages, complete with schools, stores and so on.

A problem all councils face is that caravan parks can become highly sought low-cost housing where state law gives people the right to permanent residence. Mr Guy, by permitting shops and the like in the green wedge, signals his approval for such developments.)

Current shire policy seeks to protect green wedge land by requiring that: Applicants for commercial development in the green wedge or farming zones “must demonstrate that their proposal addresses a need or gap in the tourist industry and is not dependent on the development of other residential or commercial activities on the site or in the locality.”

The state government’s plan, and possible incursion into national and state parks, almost certainly renders its current policy and the shire’s stillgestating Green Wedge Management Plan redundant if not utterly impotent.

REFLECTIVE house numbers are free of charge at Mornington Peninsula Shire offices to encourage people to better identify their properties.

The shire has joined with police, Ambulance Victoria, the CFA and the SES to promote clear, visible numbers.

Police and emergency services report that hidden and non-existent house numbers make it difficult to find the correct address and waste precious seconds in emergency situations.

Owners and occupiers of all properties are required by law to have a street number properly affixed and

displayed at the front of their property.

Numbers should be reflective both day and night and be attached to a letterbox, post, board or boundary fence. Collect numbers at shire office at 2 Queen St, Mornington; 90 Besgrove St, Rosebud; 21 Marine Pde, Hastings; and 14 Edward St, Somerville.

Legal centre move marks anniversary

$0/4&37"503*&4 46/300.4 100- &/$-0463&4 2-% 300.

PENINSULA Community Legal Centre has marked its 35th anniversary by moving into a new building.

While opening the new offices, Attorney-General Nicola Roxon said the legal centre’s “compassionate and committed team” helped “give the locals better legal and access to justice services”.

Ms Roxon said the centre would this year receive $664,000 through the federal government’s Community Legal Services Program.

The centre is one of the largest community legal centres in Australia, helping thousands of clients each year with free legal advice and ongoing assistance as well as undertaking community legal education and law reform activities.

In 2011, it was named legal organisation of the year at the Law Institute of Victoria President’s Awards.

“We estimate that over the course of the centre’s history, it has provided more than 100,000 free legal advices,” chief executive officer Helen Constas said.

“About 80 per cent of the centre’s clients have no or low income – less than $26,000 a year – and could not afford to pay for legal assistance.”

The centre began as Frankston North Legal Service in 1977 following a public meeting over the lack of free legal services.

A part-time advice and referral service was established with the support of Frankston Council and local lawyer and community volunteers.

Ms Constas described the relocation of the centre’s head office to 441 Nepean Highway, Frankston, as “the

realisation of a long-held dream of many”.

“I am delighted the centre now has premises that promote client dignity and privacy as well as affording a safe and pleasant working environment for volunteers and staff.

“While we are rightly proud of the high volume and high-quality services we provide, we are acutely aware of the continuing and unmet needs for free legal services in our community, and it is our mission to keep striving to advance justice in our community.”

Community Law Australia campaign spokesman Hugh de Kretser described the centre as “a leading example of the value and support that a community legal centre can offer to people in need”.

“People seeking help with issues like family violence, dodgy landlords, sorting out difficult family relationships or debt problems need somewhere to turn for quality legal advice,” Mr de Kretser said.

“Legal issues like these arise no matter what’s in your bank balance or your circumstances.”

Mr de Krester said research by the Australia Institute earlier this year conservatively estimated half a million Australians each year missed out on legal help, mainly for financial reasons.

“Community legal centres help people who don’t qualify for legal aid but can’t afford a private lawyer. Their expertise is free, however their time and resources are extremely stretched by the high level of demand.”

He said although the peninsula centre was one of the largest in Victoria “it faces major challenges in meeting the demand for help”.

“Attorney-General Nicola Roxon and Shadow Attorney-General George Brandis have both acknowledged that the issue of access is a vital one. We look forward to working with them to make equal access to the law a reality in Australia.”

The free legal services are aimed at helping disadvantaged clients with legal issues, either over the phone or in person at the centre’s head office in Frankston, branches in Bentleigh, Cranbourne, Frankston North and Rosebud or outreach services in Chelsea and Hastings and duty lawyer services at Frankston Magistrates’ Court and Dandenong Family Law Courts.

The centre operates specialist programs in family law, family violence and child support, as well as advocacy for vulnerable and disadvantaged tenants and consumers.

For more information about free legal services, call 9783 3600 or visit www.pclc.org.au

Health from food EATING your way to health is the theme behind a free food preparation event being held at The Briars Park.

On Sunday 2 September the Heritage will resound to the piano blues of Pugsley Buzzard, who has performed all over the world from the smoky jazz cellars of Berlin to downtown New Orleans.

His music is described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;blend of dark hoodoo blues, good time rollicking boogie and blazing stride-style pianoâ&#x20AC;?.

Jewel in the crown A TREE-lined drive reveals this incredible property set on 6394 square metres in the exclusive Kinfauns Estate. Not a single detail has been overlooked in creating a vast and spacious home of about 450 square metres with five bedrooms and a separate study. There is open-plan living area served by a Coonara wood heater, evaporative cooling, gas ducted heating and split-system air-conditioning, so whatever the weather you are assured of comfort. Polished hardwood floors feature extensively throughout the walkways and living areas, and many of the bedrooms have new carpets. This is a dual-occupancy property with an area joined to the larger main home by a double garage with recessed workshop. Complete with its own driveway and entrance, it has two bedrooms, kitchen and a bathroom. Two of the five bedrooms in the main home have ensuites and walk-in robes and, as a pleasant bonus, overlook the ornamental lake with its jetty as well as the landscaped gardens. The main kitchen features an island bench and butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pantry. The rumpus room, which has a built-in bar, flows out to the outdoor entertainment area with its solar-heated, salt-chlorinated pool. The home has solar panels to provide hot water with a gas booster for energy efficient living and three large water tanks service the lush grounds. The property has a second entrance with a driveway leading to a three-bay barn.

A cut above

An arresting position

HEAD and shoulders above the rest, this hair salon has a superb fit-out with modern, trendy decor featuring 11 cutting stations and three beauty rooms. The rent of $2500 per calendar month is offset by two sub-leases and the business demonstrates good turnover in an exclusive retail location at the busy intersection of Frankstonâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Flinders Road and Moorooduc Highway. Excellent systems are in place to maintain the growth of the business and the owner is willing to stay on and assist during the transition period if required.

ZONED Business 5, which allows for either residential or business use, this landmark property built in about 1929 was the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original police station. The 820-square metre site has frontage to Marine Parade and King Street, and has a double garage at the rear.

There are three bedrooms and a study, which could be converted into offices. Potential uses could include professional consulting rooms. There are two toilets and the interior still boasts some period features of the time such as original fireplaces, high ceilings and an entrance with leadlight windows. Permits would be required for any retail business or future redevelopment of the site.

Speed zone confusion due to lack of school

School zone: Complete in every way, except for a school. Picture: Yanni

IT has only taken two years, but the school zone speed restriction signs have been removed from outside the defunct Toogoolawa School on FrankstonFlinders Road – only to reappear nearby.

The new speed restriction zone stretches from the Hast-

ings Hub building (the former Hastings Leisure Centre) to the roundabout at Kings Creek Hotel.

It has been catching unsuspecting motorists due to the lack of school.

Being described on the VicRoads website as being a

zone “outside a school”, the speed restriction zones are hotspots for police who patrol the zones.

The nearest school is Hastings Primary School, which is about 200 metres down Hodgins Rd. Cameron McCullough

The Western Port Whisperer IT seems authorities have abandoned all hope of repairing the deplorable FrankstonFlinders Rd north of High St. Instead they have erected signs warning of “Rough surface ahead”.

The Whisperer and his creative team have come up with a few new sign ideas: “Goats!

Turn back!”, “Experimental road surface ahead (using fairy floss, breadcrumbs and ice chips)” and “Potholes ahead: Seek alternate route”.

Maybe we can turn the situation to our advantage.

Instead of the Big Pineapple, or Big Banana, why not have the Big Pothole? It’ll just be a matter of consolidating all the ones we already have.

Perhaps we can kill two birds with one stone, and see of the submarine people want to float their submarine in our newest tourist attraction.

The solution to avoiding pothole-ridden FrankstonFlinders Rd is, of course, drive down the nice, newly sealed Boes Rd. Hang on; maybe not. You’d then have a better-than-average chance of being cleaned up at the Boes and Graydens Rd intersection. *** THE whisper is that Hastings police station is again drasti-

cally under-staffed. The crime investigation unit has had to be moved to Mornington due to lack of manpower, and the shifts are stretched due to lots of holidays and illness. Was it the same last winter?

Another whisper that arrived at Whisperer HQ was that police went to a local business while a theft was in progress. The rumour is the thieves jumped in their car and sped off, but the police didn’t chase, as the driver had not completed the necessary driver training to authorise them to do so. One would have thought this would be a fairly fundamental requirement. *** WITH Cerberus Ward councillor Reade Smith having announced he will not be a candidate at the October council elections, it is expected there will be quite a few people vying for the $30,000 a year job.

A comment on his blog explained that changing from single-councillor wards to multi-councillor wards would lead to “kindergarten playground antics” as councillors “jostle for their place”. With comments like this, one wonders if the other councillors

will be sad to see Cr Smith go. *** THE Whisperer has enjoyed watching the Olympics. Instant armchair expert in every sport from the 100 metres to that twirling ribbon event.

Still don’t understand why “walking” is an Olympic sport. Why not just run? What is with the hips? Is that necessary? Too bad for the vitamin company that spent squillions telling us that certain athletes were “powered by them”. Most of them bombed.

Poor Cadel Evans, powered by their vitamins, was too fatigued to even compete.

Maybe he should have taked a double dose or given the Tour de France a miss. *** ONE of The Whisperer’s spies overheard a council worker as they were replanting trees on High St. The conversation supposedly went something like this: “These are lovely trees.

They’re Manchurian pears.

The problem is that in Hastings and Mornington, the drunks rip them all out. In Mt Eliza, people come in the dead of night, dig them out and replant them in their own gardens.” thewhisperer@y7mail.com

Janice is Hastings’ number one supporter

By Vic Jeremiah IT is customary and normal nowadays for football clubs at all levels to praise and acknowledge the combined efforts of all people involved; those who contribute and play a major role in ensuring and improving the ongoing success of their particular club.

Most clubs can also claim to have a small band of true and loyal fans who can be relied on to be supportive and encouraging their team at all times, regardless of ladder positions and overall success.

One such diehard is lifelong Hastings resident Janice Danaher (pictured). Janice, 73, has been a Hastings Football Club supporter for the past 65 years, and has vivid memories of being taken to the football on a regular weekly basis by her father and mother in the late 1940s.

As a child, she developed a love of the game and can recall the three premierships in a row (1946-48), which was undoubtedly a great start to developing a passion for the game and the club.

Interestingly, she recalls her favourite player of that era to be Gordon Allen, who became better known for his remarkable achievements as a fast bowler.

When asked to nominate her favourite footballer of all time, Janice had no hesitation in naming former Hastings champion Peter Hibbert as her No 1 personality. “Hibby” is currently the official runner for the Reserves team, and is the holder of the club’s senior games record, 342.

Janice also speaks in glowing terms

Picture: Yanni

of former ruckman Peter Cremen, and she greatly admired the unparalleled commitment given to the club both on and off the field by the legendary Richard Everist.

Many of Janice’s fondest memories and enjoyable football moments over the years has been the fierce rivalry between Hastings and Crib Point.

Having been employed at HMAS Cerberus for more than 50 years, she developed a strong and friendly relationship with many Crib Point residents and football followers, and can

remember gaining much pleasure and delight in attending work on a Monday morning after a Hastings victory over Crib Point.

Possibly her most enjoyable and satisfying moment of all time was at the conclusion of the remarkable 1975 MPFL season.

The events of this year in relation to the fierce and bitter rivalry between top teams Hastings and Carrum are unparalleled in the history of the league.

Having met on five occasions prior

to the grand final, the sides were opposing each other for the sixth time, with Hastings yet to taste victory.

Even No 1 supporter Janice Danaher would have to admit Carrum was red hot favourites for the 1975 premiership.

With her beloved “Blue Boys” holding a seven-goal lead at three-quarter time, she was quietly confident, and only those who were there can fully appreciate what was to unfold.

At the start of the last quarter, the heavens opened and within minutes

the Mornington oval resembled a lake and all hopes of a Carrum victory were now gone.

Sitting on her stool just inside the boundary fence, Janice decided in typical manner to brave the elements, and by game’s end, although shivering and totally saturated, there was not a more delighted and elated Hastings fan to be seen.

Janice is a former player and life member of Hastings Tennis Club, having contributed 35 years of loyal and dedicated service and playing a leading role in the relocation of the tennis club courts.

In 2007, Janice was the recipient of an OAM in recognition of her efforts and involvement in community affairs, including 55 years with Hastings Scouts, of which she is currently group leader.

After 65 years and having attended more than 1000 games, Janice has enjoyed many of the magical moments and successes of Hastings Football Club and endured many heartaches and disappointments of the leaner years.

With the agonising events of last year’s one-point grand final loss still lingering, it is Janice’s deepest wish that her beloved Blue Boys can go one step further in 2012.

In terms of loyalty, dedication and commitment as a supporter, Janice Danaher deserves many accolades and can rightfully and deservedly claim to be Hastings Football Club’s No 1 supporter.

Wetland friends spend up big

By Mike Hast THE Friends of Tootgarook Wetland Reserves group has ramped up its campaign to protect the area by taking out full page advertisements in two local newspapers.

Led by Cameron Brown and Jessica Durrant, the group has spent more than $4000 on pages in two local newspapers including the Southern Peninsula News.

The advertisements ask people to sign an online petition that calls on federal and state governments, government departments, Mornington Peninsula Shire and Melbourne Water to protect “this precious wetland” from further development.

Before the newspapers were published, more than 750 people had signed the petition, alerted by word of mouth and social media.

Mr Brown, 35, and Ms Durrant, 28, whose home is on the edge of the wetland, work in retail outlets on the peninsula and have paid for most of the cost of the two pages.

The advertisements, illustrated by one of Mr Brown’s photographs of an ibis standing in the wetland, provide a history of the wetland, also known as the Tootgarook Swamp, the largest remaining shallow freshwater marsh in the Port Phillip region at 381 hectares.

It was once 800 hectares, but has been mined for its peat, drained, filled, built on and generally degraded by development, with more to come.

The Friends group, Southern Peninsula Flora and Fauna Association, and other conservationists have been calling for the wetland to be given protection under the international Ramsar agreement, a register of precious wetlands around the world.

Mr Brown said only half the wetland was

inside the Green Wedge Zone. “Almost a quarter has been earmarked for development, courtesy of bad zoning decisions made many years ago by the Shire of Flinders.”

Part of it has been reserved for the future extension of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway from Boneo Rd in Rosebud West to Melbourne Rd in Blairgowrie Mr Brown said the wetland was a lifeboat for fauna and flora.

“About 130 bird species have been recorded in the wetland, 13 reptilian species including nine amphibious frog species, and 12 mammals including five kinds of bats,” he said.

“The swamp also is home to at least nine endangered plant communities.”

It was of high cultural significance to the Boon Wurrung and Bunerong people and high scientific value as described by palaeontologist Sir Frederick Chapman in 1919 when he listed numerous fossils.

It also was important as a holding basin during flooding, which last occurred about a decade ago.

SPIFFA has a wealth of information about the swamp on its website, www.spiffa.org The petition is at www.community run. org/p/Tootgarookswamp Precious place: Tootgarook wetlands looking south down the southern peninsula.

Great bumper stickers of history

By Stuart McCullough ONCE, they were everywhere. Clinging to the rear of thousands of cars, they declared a single, simple sentiment to the broader world. Namely, that Magic Happens. In the 1990s, the bumper stickers were commonplace.

Now they are all but extinct.

I never really understood what it was they hoped to tell me. There was absolutely nothing by way of an explanation on offer. Apparently, there was magic and, moreover, it was happening. Where it was happening or how this magic was said to manifest itself was left largely to the imagination.

Based on the sheer weight of numbers, you could rightly have expected to see people pulling rabbits out of their pockets and shouting “abracadabra” on an almost daily basis. Sadly, that’s not how I remember the 1990s at all.

A Magic Happens bumper sticker was only ever affixed to a certain kind of vehicle. Porches, BMWs and Mercs were, presumably, magic enough and had no need for such declarations.

Rather, they were only ever seen on two types of cars. First, there was the kind of vehicle that looked as though it had just been dragged into the street and beaten within an inch of its life over an unpaid debt. Wherever the magic was happening, it was clearly

not happening to the automobile itself, unless you count the mere fact of it being able to get itself from point A to point B to be a mystical act in its own right. The second kind of vehicle often found to be home to a Magic Happens sticker were those that looked like a Matchbox car that had overdosed on growth hormone, driven only by people on P plates. Perhaps the magic was in the fact of having successfully obtained a driving licence.

But given their apparent extinction, is it fair to say that magic is no longer happening?

Was there something of a glut of magic in the 1990s that now accounts for its acute shortage? Perhaps magic is much like a mineral deposit or school of fish and the supply has simply been exhausted. Then again, maybe we are just in something of a magic drought, with the supernatural at the mercy of an El Nino pattern that keeps the mystical at bay.

Whatever the case, an explanation is

way overdue. Frankly, those who once saw fit to tell us that “magic happens” owe the rest of us an account as to what happened to the magic and when we can expect it to return.

It’s not the first or last time that such a sticker has confused me. In the 1980s, there were stickers that referred to a brand of sunglasses offering Thermonuclear protection. In the shadow of the cold war, it’s not the kind of claim you’d want to have to put to the test. Then again, bumper stickers have a proud history of confusion.

Such stickers appeal to the drivers more than anyone else. All the same, they have been popular for centuries.

Ever since Alexander the Great barged through the Gates of Persia sitting astride an elephant with the words: My Other Elephant is also an Elephant tattooed across its buttocks, bumper stickers have been popular additions to your transport of choice.

My favourites include the bumper sticker affixed to the back of the

Hindenburg: If you can read this, you’re too close and the sticker on the back of the first version of the Popemobile: Horn Broken, Watch for Finger.

But for a time, sharing your thoughts with both your bumper and the world at large fell out of fashion. Nobody bragged about having thermonuclear protection, much less claimed that Magic Happens.

Recently, however, things have started to change. For this, one set of bumper stickers can stand up and take a very stick figurey kind of bow.

I speak, of course, of the “My Family” stickers.

Strictly speaking, they’re not bumper stickers, as they are always located on the back window and consist of spidery, crime-scene outlines said to represent various family members. As far as I can tell, there seem to be a great many varieties, with the objective being that you choose a sticker that includes some activity said to be representative of the individual. It seems like a lot of information to volunteer.

Perhaps in the age of Facebook, in which traditional notions of privacy have been largely disregarded, this is merely an inevitable byproduct. All the same, it feels like a kind of bragging.

Oftentimes, “My Family” stickers appear on very large vehicles – the

kind that could just as easily be used to launch a major land-based incursion into another country as it could take the kids to football training.

Perhaps declaring the number of family members requiring transport is a way of accounting for why they drive a car with such an insatiable thirst for fuel. I do, however, question the accuracy of these stickers. To date, I’m yet to see any picturing the members of the household sitting down and watching the television. Personally, I’d like to see a sticker of a family member selecting stickers.

For me, such stickers may be shortsighted. What happens when a child grows up and moves out? Or, worse still, what if there is a schism that results in a fracturing of the family unit?

Few days will be as difficult as the day you have to peel someone off your back window. Or, for the sake of accuracy, have to relocate them from the bottom left corner to somewhere else on the glass to more precisely represent the state of affairs.

I suspect these declarations are something of a fad. These stickers will one day vanish. Doubtless it will happen in the blink of an eye. So quickly that it will seem like an act of magic.

Perhaps a new sticker will replace the “My Family” stickers, simply saying: Magic Happened. www.stuartmccullough.com

Hearing Awareness Week Free checks in Hearing Awareness Week NEPEAN Hearing is offering free hearing checks for adults 19-26 August.

Often the signs of a hearing problem creep up very gradually over a number of years, so that voices become indistinct and some television programs are difficult to hear. You may miss out on the first words of a sentence and then the whole conversation can be lost.

Feel free to arrange a hearing check at Nepean Hearing at 10 Davey St, Frankston, phone 9783 7520 or 184 South Gippsland Highway, Cranbourne, phone 5996 117.

There also will be screenings at Hastings at Peninsula Health at 185 High St, Hastings, phone 9783 7520.

We offer personalised service for your individual needs.

The practices are staffed by university trained audiologists in our independent practices and are locally owned. Nepean Hearing is a fully Office of Hearing Services accredited provider.

There is a full range of digital hearing aids for pensioners, DVA, and private clients. Our hearing aid prices for private clients and pensioners who elect a top up aid are at least 20 per cent less than the larger clinics.

Pensioners and DVA clients can choose from a wide range of free of charge aids.

Hearing Awareness Week Many ways to improve hearing HEARING loss is a normal part of the ageing process, but according to Australian Hearing’s Leiana Morey, many people aren’t aware their hearing is diminishing or the effects it has on the lives of those closest to them.

Ms Morey, manager at Australian Hearing Frankston, says hearing loss can take a toll on a person’s ability to communicate, making it difficult to stay in touch with loved ones.

“People can withdraw from conversations if they can’t hear properly and, unfortunately, others get frustrated at having to repeat themselves,” Ms Morley said.

“It’s simple things, like hearing the doorbell ring or having trouble hearing conversations in noisy places, that are often the early warning signs.”

Ms Morey said if people are having problems hearing, there are many products and services available to help them hear better.

“This includes everything from small, powerful digital hearing aids to a variety of assistive listening devices to make everyday hearing easier,” she said.

“Some devices include a doorbell with a flashing light so you don’t miss friends or family visiting, or an alarm clock that has a bed shaker to help you wake up in the morning.”

Australian Hearing Frankston and Australian Hearing visiting sites are offering free hearing checks for pensioners. To book an appointment or to trial the range of assistive listening devices, call 8781 3700.

Australian Hearing Frankston is on the ground floor of Landmark Corporate Centre, 454 Nepean Highway, Frankston. Australian Hearing also has sites at Mornington, Chelsea, Hastings, Baxter, Bass Coast, Rosebud, Dromana, Mount Martha, Rye and The Village Glen in Rosebud West.

Rye downs Blues as four vie for two spots NEPEAN DIVISION

By Toe Punt IT’S going to take until the final siren in the final home and away match of the year to determine who will play finals football in MPNFL Nepean Division.

Rye, Frankston Bombers, Rosebud and Crib Point are all in the fight for the final two places on the ladder.

There are two things assured: Sorrento will finish on top after beating Rosebud on Saturday, and Dromana will finish second after smashing Red Hill.

Hastings will play in the finals, but despite sitting in third place, it may finish fourth depending on results this weekend.

To add to the drama, the four teams vying for a place in the finals play ladder rivals this weekend.

Rosebud will host Rye in the RPPFM match of the round, broadcast live on 98.7FM from 2pm.

Frankston Bombers head to Crib Point. The last time the two sides met, Crib beat the Bombers by seven points at Frankston home ground in Baxter.

There are dozens of scenarios as to who can and can’t make it.

As it stands, Rye and Frankston Bombers hold the aces. They are in the five, so destiny is in their hands. If they win, a finals berth is assured.

Should both the Demons and Bombers lose, Rye would remain in fourth, Rosebud would go to fifth and Frankston Bombers would drop to seventh.

Rosebud needs to win and hope the Bombers lose.

For the Magpies to make it, they need to beat Frankston Bombers and hope Rye beats Rosebud.

PAGE 34

It’s fascinating and many good judges predicted at the start of the season this would happen.

Nepean Division is an outstanding competition and this is why you can’t get your car in any ground after 1.30pm on match day.

On Saturday, there were some enthralling match-ups and none of them let us down.

Hastings headed to Rowley Reserve, a venue that hasn’t been a happy hunting ground for many years, to take on Rye. Win and the Blues were assured a top-three place.

At quarter time, kicking with the breeze, the Blues appeared to have the whip hand, leading by 19 points.

However, in controversial circumstances, Blues forward Matty Robbins was red carded and took no further part in the game.

Rye hit back in the second quarter, kicking to the members’ end, Justin Van Unen booting two goals in the term to move to 95 for the season.

The third quarter was an armwrestle. Many believed if Rye could hang in and be close at the final change, it could storm home, kicking to the scoring end in the last.

At three-quarter time, after Adam Kirkwood and Sean Cain had dominated through the middle, and Darren Booth had controlled the match at halfback for Rye, the Demons trailed by just two points.

Ben Winters-Kerr has been a revelation playing through the middle this season and his three goals in a dominant performance was a highlight on Saturday.

The Demons came home with a rush.

Van Unen booted three to head into the final home and away game on 98 goals. Josh Collie celebrated a goal by

Western Port News 14 August 2012

showing his jumper to the crowd and Andrew Dean kicked a ripper from the boundary to send the Rye crowd into raptures.

The Demons completely ran over the top of Hastings, winning by 23 points.

David Hull was outstanding for the Blues and worked tirelessly in defence, Paul Rogasch battled hard across halfback, and onballers Peter Mawson and Mark Devereaux were in and under throughout.

The Blues didn’t defend well enough when they didn’t have the ball. Grant Masterson, Dylan Hand and Colin McVeigh failed to fire a shot, well beaten by their less experienced opponents.

Just when you begin to get excited about the Blues, they let you down.

Rye may have had its season potentially on the line but the Blues had a guaranteed double chance as motivation.

Watching Dromana, Rosebud, Rye and even Sorrento in successive weeks, it’s hard to see the same determination and grit in the Blues’ eyes as it is in those other top teams at the moment.

Sorrento booted six goals on the trot from the 10-minute mark of the first quarter to the 15-minute mark of the second to set up its win against Rosebud.

While the Buds booted the last two goals of the second quarter to cut the half-time margin to 12 points, the home side was able to raise the bar again in the third and set up a matchwinning, 26-point lead.

Jayden Tomkins made his debut for the Sharks and didn’t look out of place, finishing with two majors in the second half.

Grant Johnson dominated in the middle for the winners, Guy Stringer was

immovable at half-back and Tyrren Head was best on ground, taking more than a dozen contested marks in tricky conditions.

Leigh Treeby continued his outstanding form, winning a heap of contested footy.

The Buds were gallant in the end, going down by just 16 points. However, they didn’t show consistency for long enough periods. Lapses cost them at different stages.

Cade Egan was outstanding at halfback and beat Leigh Poholke. Brenton Payne and Ryan Spooner were good in the middle, but couldn’t stop the impact of Treeby or Johnson.

Pearcedale recorded another win, this away at Devon Meadows.

Inaccurate kicking from the visitors, especially in the second quarter, prevented them from winning by more than the eventual 25 points.

Chris Fortnam was sensational for the Dales, as was Pat Cadd, and Dean Janssen has been in terrific form of late. The highlight of the match was a miraculous goal by Damien McCormack in the second quarter.

Pearcedale dominated from start to finish with 29 scoring shots to 19.

Craig Thorne and Daniel Velardo were the best of the Meadows.

Frankston Bombers went into Saturday’s match against Somerville with host of gun players missing – Jason Clapp, Haydn Moore, Luke Lewis and Dean Wagner the most noticeable absentees, adding to the likes of Shaun Brand, Pedar Whelan and Sam Drake who were already gone for the year.

Frankston was celebrating its 125th anniversary and more than 400 people attend the celebrations throughout the day.

The team responded; in what was

expected to be a close battle, the Bombers opened well and led by five goals at half-time. The final margin was 47 points.

Jay Reynolds and Brad Wakeling kicked with four goals each, and Nathan Lonie chimed in with three.

Justin Allsop with three goals was a stand out for the Eagles, and Jedd Sutton also performed well.

Dromana had 15 scoring shots in the first quarter and led by 37 points against Red Hill at quarter time. The final margin was 76 points.

Red Hill dropped their gun kids back to the under-18s, which hurt them.

Jarryd Douglas booted eight goals in the under-18s.

Rikki Johnston was best on ground with five goals for the Tigers, and Steve Gaertner booted four and Anthony Brunn three. Shaun Clarke and Liam Hogan were again outstanding.

David Maplstone kicked four for the Hillmen, and Damien Jones and Marcus Dal Lago shone.

Crib Point performed as expected and smashed Tyabb to the tune of 58 points.

Jon Flack booted six and Luke Herrington four, and Sam Austin finished the afternoon with three goals. James Cook in the ruck and Dean Warry were great performers for the Magpies.

Ryan Jones and Matty Dimkos flew the Yabbies’ flag, and Ethan Rahilly also worked tirelessly.

With just one game to go, the Yabbies will be pleased to kiss the season goodbye.

In front at siren: After being behind at the last break, Rye overran Hastings to win an important game.

Top three streets ahead of the pack PENINSULA DIVISION

By Toe Punt WITH two rounds to go in MPNFL Peninsula Division football, the makeup of the final five is going down to the wire.

This is despite Seaford smashing Chelsea by 12 goals on Saturday to take a place in the top bracket.

Bonbeach is in fourth place on 32 points and Seaford in fifth on 28 points.

The Tigers have a percentage of 114.

Chelsea sits in sixth place, also on 28 points, with a percentage of 74.

In the final two games of the season, Bonbeach tackles Edi-Asp and Mornington. The Sharks should win both games.

Seaford does battle with Frankston YCW and Edi-Asp. On form, they will lose to YC and beat Edi-Asp at home.

Chelsea faces its nemesis Karingal on Saturday then finishes with Langy at Langwarrin. They should be able to beat the Kangas.

If games go as predicted over the

next fortnight, the ladder is done and dusted and Chelsea will miss.

However, the alarming fact is none of these three teams can hold a candle to YCW, Mt Eliza or Karingal.

To make matters worse, the likes of Mornington, Pines, Edi-Asp and Langwarrin are even further behind.

This is hopefully on top of the agenda of those at league headquarters.

The results on Saturday were worrying.

Only the Bonbeach versus Pines match held any interest after quarter time.

The average losing margin in all games was 89 points.

The lowest margin was Bonbeach over Pines, 34 points, while Karingal beat Mornington by a staggering 183 points, or 30-plus goals.

Mornington was restricted to four goals, while down the road, Langwarrin was held to three goals against Mt Eliza.

You can place your head in the sand and pretend this was one out of the

box. Truth be told, we have a massive problem.

Tommy Shaw booted six goals for Seaford in its 72-point win against Chelsea. Darragh Chadwick and Jeremy Walker booted three each, and Luke Smith and Aaron Walton continued their outstanding form. Chris Irving and Josh Stokes also played well.

Nigel Carmody went from backman to goalkicker for the Seagulls, finishing with three goials, while Sam Carpenter continued to shine.

The end of the season can’t come quickly enough for the Gulls.

Scott Lockwood booted four goals and Michael Lowry, Ben Lean and Sam Lloyd three each as Mt Eliza smashed Langwarrin by more than 100 points.

While the Mounties were very strong offensively, they have been working on their defence and would have been happy to restrict the Kangas to three goals.

Dan Riley worked hard for the blue and white, and Matt Hogan, Shane Ur-

bans and Mark McGill also flew the flag.

James Norton booted six goals and Anthony Raso four in Bonbeach’s solid victory against Pines.

It was never going to be a one-sided match.

Pines got away to a flier, booting five to one in the first quarter and leading by 19 points.

However, the Sharks hit back in the second, thanks to the likes of Ash Simpson, Mark Tyrell and Blake Matthews, kicking seven unanswered goals and opening up a handy break at the halfway mark.

Guy Hendry kicked three for the Pythons, and Jamie Messie, Brendan Neville and Beau Hendry were outstanding across four quarters.

Chris Hay snagged 12 goals to move to second place on the goalkicking table, four goals behind Mt Eliza’s Scott Lockwood.

Hay has 67 goals for the season and now leads Sam Lloyd by five and Seaford’s Michael Kraska by 10.

Bombers’ milestone FRANKSTON Bombers celebrated its 125th anniversary on Saturday.

In a day of great celebrations for the proud club, current coach Tony Blackford was named coach of the past three decades, 1982-2012.

The best 30 players of the past 30 years were named, with Blackford named coach and current skipper Haydn Moore named captain.

Also named in the team of the past three decades were: Sam Bodem, Shaun Brand, Ash Charles, Martin Clarkson, Reece Colling, Peter Crank, Ben Crichton, Ben Drake, Mark Garrett, David Geddes, Steven Geddes, David Glennie, Troy Harris, Mark Harrison, Jason Jill, David Lielnors, Cameron McIntyre, Hayden Moore, Brian O’Carroll, Jamie O’Neil, Stephen Osborne, Richard Renouf, Jay Reynolds, Clinton Rice, Darren Sharp, Michael Shields, Leigh Stewart, Jeremy Waixel and Shawn Wilkey.

Peninsula a real concern THE results on Saturday in Peninsula Division are of great concern.

The average losing margin was 89 points.

The lowest margin was Bonbeach over Pines, winning by 34 points, while Karingal beat Mornington by a eye-popping 183 points.

As the finals approach, there are just three teams in the five that can win it.

The elimination final between Bonbeach and Seaford will be exciting, but many good judges say they have Buckleys of competing with the loser of Karingal and Mt Eliza the following week.

The bigger concern is that EdithvaleAspendale, Langwarrin, Pines and Mornington are even further behind.

The good are getting better and leaving the other clubs in their wake.

Hopefully the MPNFL is seriously looking at the situation.

Peninsula survival

Leading at every break: A strong first quarter by Pearcedale cemented their day as they ran out eventual winners over Devon Meadows. Picture: Doug Farr

WHILE Peninsula Division as a competition is on its knees in terms of interest, things will only get worse.

Carrum is relaunching next season in the Southern Football League. It will be known as Carrum Patterson Lakes Football Club.

This means there will be eight clubs

Dale Alanis booted six goals for Karingal as the team scored 15 in the first half and 18 in the second against Mornington.

Callun Dixon and Ryan Jenke were also outstanding for the Bulls while Troy Hoad again dominated at halfback.

It was a tough day at the office for Mornington, although Michael Bray, Aidan Speedy and Steu Seagar worked hard all afternoon.

Edithvale-Aspendale was gallant in defeat against Frankston YCW. There was just 19 point separating the sides at three-quarter time, before the Stonecats booted eight goals to two in the last to win by 58 points. The Stonecats had 34 scoring shots to 16.

Ricky Morris kicked three goals for the winners, and Ash Eames dominated.

Mark Mullins, Stevey Mannix and Nick Connellan were outstanding for the Eagles, while Brad Tagg was at his best with four goals.

within 17 kilometres of each other, Mordialloc, Edithvale-Aspendale, Chelsea Heights, Chelsea, Bonbeach, Carrum, Skye and Seaford.

In the Frankston precinct, there is Pines, Frankston YCW, Karingal and Langwarrin within 10 kilometres of each other, and then we have Mornington and Mt Eliza.

There is no way this structure can be sustained. They are all vying for the same kids and sponsorship dollar.

People wonder by Nepean is so strong – they are all one-club towns. They have their own juniors and their own town to obtain sponsorship.

In three years, Nepean will be the number one division in the MPNFL.

Van Unen ton RYE goalkicking machine Justin Van Unen should kick his 100th goal against Rosebud at Olympic Park on Saturday.

While there is talk about the efforts of Cranbourne’s Marc Holt and Narre Warren’s Kerem Baskaya in Casey-Cardinia Division (they are both on 120 plus), the effort of Van Unen far outweigh Holt and Baskaya.

“JV” hasn’t had the opportunity to boot 20-plus against a side that isn’t competitive.

Every side in Nepean is competitive and he has done a superb job. He has missed one game due to interleague commitments.

Anonymous support WE ran a story in Footy Shorts last week about the perceived “conflict of interest” of new MPNFL boss Jeff Jones, who is still volunteer chairman of the Southern Umpires Association.

We received an anonomous voicemail message last week saying “there are people within SUA who share your view about a conflict and we support you to maintain your campaign to bring this to the footballing public”.

It seems the issue is not going away.

Dougie bounces back COULD Sorrento have an ace up its sleeve?

Former AFL-listed player and Sharks premiership player Doug Scott made his name as a dashing defender.

On Saturday in the seconds at Sorrento, he played as full-forward and kicked with six goals.

Considering regular spearhead Ben Schwarze is doubtful with a thigh strain and Troy Schwarze is doubtful with a broken cheekbone, Scott might be very handy at the business end of the season.

Driver steers Langy to upset, Skye tames Cobras

By Craig MacKenzie MIDFIELD magician Chris Driver spearheaded Langwarrin’s stunning 4-1 upset of State League 2 ladder leader Eastern Lions at Lawton Park on Saturday.

The former Mauritian international has scored some memorable goals in 2012 that have lit up an otherwise gloomy season for Langy, but he may not score a more important one than his second in the second half, which turned the controversial contest on its head.

The match sprang to life just after the interval when former Langy star Ray Markley finished off the excellent work of quicksilver right-winger Munyaradzi Nyadzayo.

Home fans had been seething when they failed to win a penalty late in the first half, but they changed their tune when the referee pointed to the spot in the 63rd minute and Driver converted to make it 1-1.

Two minutes later Driver ballooned a free kick, but in the 68th minute he became an instant hero when he unleashed a staggering 30-metre strike that gave Lions’ custodian Andy Lightfoot no chance.

The momentum was now with the home side and when the assistant referee was caught out of position as Langy broke quickly, he was unable to judge that Liam Ryan was offside.

The young striker, whose work rate was phenomenal, motored into the Lions’ area then struck a low shot across a diving Lightfoot and inside the far post to make it 3-1.

Lions’ ace striker Oran Harel had a great chance to reduce the deficit in the 79th minute and although his lob beat stranded Langy keeper Michael Sivulja, the ball struck the top of the bar and bounced over.

A dismal day for the visitors was completed a few minutes later when a dreadful defensive wall was exposed by Langy substitute Nathan Bennis with a low free kick from just outside the area that went inside the near post.

Peninsula Strikers went down to championelect Doveton 3-2 on Saturday in their State League 3 battle at Waratah Reserve.

A Ross Robertson own goal saw the Doves take a slender lead into the half-time break.

Within 15 minutes of the restart, it was 3-0 thanks to a Simon Mur goal and an Alex Akrivopoulos own goal.

Strikers hit back when Ben Caffrey made it 3-1 in the 70th minute after the home team failed to clear following an Akrivopoulos corner, and a repeat set piece five minutes later saw Miron Andronicos heading home to make it 3-2.

Strikers put the home side under pressure during the closing stages but to no avail.

“The second 45 [minutes] was probably our best performance of the year,” said Strikers coach Jamie Skelly.

Three 17-year-olds featured in Strikers’ starting line-up and another three were on the substitutes’ bench.

Frankston Pines kept its slim hopes of promotion alive with a last-gasp winner against Brandon Park at Monterey Reserve on Saturday.

“We’re out of the commission houses now, mate, and we’re looking at a two-bedroom flat in Dandenong,” was the tongue-in-cheek summation of Pines’ season by senior coach Danny Verdun.

“We rode our luck against Brandon Park.

They’ve got George Hughes coaching them and he’s got them playing well. They’re a far different side to the one we played in the first half of the season.”

Aidan Verdun nabbed the winner after a long throw by Mathew Hodgson and good close control by Anthony Edgar.

It was the first time this season Pines had recorded successive wins and the side has now gone 11 games straight without defeat to be five points adrift of second spot.

Skye United shocked Provisional League 2 title contender Caulfield United Cobras with a 1-0 away win on Saturday.

It was Caulfield’s second loss this season and the decisive moment came in the 65th minute when Frank Dimu’s pass sent young Daniel Attard clear. Attard’s first attempt was saved by the Caulfield custodian, but the youngster retained his composure to knock in the rebound.

Skye now enjoys a 10-point relegation-zone buffer and is reaping the rewards of having most of its senior squad available and fielding the same starting line-up on a regular basis.

Seaford’s away clash with Lyndale United was postponed due to the state of the pitch and has been rescheduled for Saturday 8 September at 3pm.

Baxter handed cellar-dweller White Star Dandenong its second win of the Provisional League 3 season on Saturday going down 1-0 away from home.

Fixtures for rounds 18 and 19 Saturday 18 August, 3pm: Peninsula Strikers v Nunawading City (Centenary Park), Old Camberwell Grammarians v Frankston Pines (Stradbroke Park), Seaford Utd v Old Carey (North Seaford Reserve), Skye Utd v Ashburton Utd (Skye Recreational Reserve), Baxter v Old Trinity Grammarians (Baxter Park).

Warriors wear down Cobras, now for big one

By Andrew Brady FOR only the second time in the Westernport Warriors’ eight-year history, the team has completed the Reclink home and away season undefeated.

The first time was in 2006 when the Warriors went on to win the ultimate prize, the A grade premiership.

After defeating by two points the only other unbeaten side last Wednesday at Crib Point – the Doveton Cobras – the Warriors tackle the Cobras again on Wednesday in the grand final.

The Cobras are expected to make changes to the side and provide tougher opposition.

The game last Wednesday was a ripper. The Warriors went in without star

full-forward Tim “Buddy” Churchin who was rested with hamstring soreness and remains stranded on 80 goals for the season with the magic ton now seemingly out of his reach.

The loss of Buddy was compensated to a degree by the inclusion of Jordan “Hungry” Hendrix, Travis “Lord” Maher and Travis “Ditch” Dyke who have all been in outstanding form at various parts of the season.

The Warriors were slow out of the blocks and the Cobras were quick to seize the initiative, racing to a 16-point lead at the first change.

The Warriors were totally reactive and it was the Cobras calling the shots.

Stevie “Armed” Robb and Jake

Advertise "Until

“Lleyton” Hewitt were given tagging roles in the second term as the Warriors attempted to quell the Cobras’ dominance and the pair rose to the challenge.

Ditch Dyke took over in the middle and the likes of “Jumping” Joey Robb and Ian “Roscoe” Tanner started to exert a real influence on the game.

When Troy “The Boy” De Vries snapped truly, the Warriors were back in town and held an 11-point lead at the main change.

The Cobras came out hissing after half-time and Warriors’ supporters sensed they were not about to throw in the towel.

Jordan “Jug Head” Tanner, Chris

“Posters” Helweg and Brian “Nuc” Kells did their best to hold out the Cobras, but at the last change the Warriors’ lead had been cut to just four points.

The final quarter was “a last man standing affair” as the Warriors peppered the goals, but were not able to kick truly.

With only seconds on the clock, the Cobras ran the ball forward where a snap at goal went wide and the siren sounded with the Warriors hanging on to win 5.15-45 to 6.7-43.

The return of Hungry Hendrix had an impact on the number of behinds kicked by the Warriors and supporters hope he has his kicking boot on for the

grand final. The win saw the Warriors retain the L W Marine trophy, which is up for grabs in Warriors v Cobras games.

This season has been a good one for the trophy cabinet as the Warriors were also successful in winning the Nick Lehmann Cup against Cerberus and the Community Cup both times the Warriors played Southern Peninsula Swans.

Only one trophy remains, the Reclink A Grade Premiership Cup. The team meets opposite Hastings Youth Centre at 10.15am on Wednesday for a barbecue and departs for the Peanut Farm at 11am with the game starting at 2pm.

Fight to the end for finals aspirants Round 21 Previews Friday 17 August 17 Geelong v St Kilda, Etihad Stadium, 7.50pm Friday night is St Kilda’s last chance to keep its season alive and it has a tough opponent in the reigning premiers. The Cats on the weekend were behind the eight-ball right from the start; they lost Chapman, Hunt and Kelly through injury, and Tom Hawkins was stretchered off in the opening quarter. Yet, the Cats still managed to keep up the intensity against the Eagles, but eventually injuries and inexperienced bodies took their toll, which saw Geelong lose by five points. The Saints did what they had to do to beat Melbourne. Skipper Nick Riewoldt went down with what looked like a serious injury that will almost certainly keep him out of this game.

Geelong by 34 points.

Saturday 18 August Essendon v Carlton, MCG, 1.45pm In a blockbuster at the MCG, two teams heading in opposite directions play off for a chance to be in the finals. The Bombers are not the side they were earlier in the year; they’ve lost four games in a row and are going to have to improve drastically to beat Carlton. The Bombers had every

chance against a North Melbourne side with three players off injured in the last quarter but failed to prevail.

The Blues recorded a nice win against Brisbane, keeping their slim finals hopes alive. Chris Judd will be back this week, increasing the chances of causing an upset. The Blues look to be the better form and are capable of causing an upset.

Carlton by 12 points.

GWS Giants v Melbourne, Manuka Oval, 2.10pm The Giants return to their alternative home ground in Canberra to take on the Demons. This match is a dead rubber as both sides are simply playing out the season. The Giants will probably continue to rotate through their list as they want to finish in bottom spot to secure the number one draft pick. On a positive note the Giants have brought in quite a few talented players this year: Treloar, Greene, Smith and Hoskin-Elliott to name a few. As for the Demons, they put up a modest effort against St Kilda, but were never going to win the match, so a 25-point deficit was a positive. Young gun Sam Blease played an excellent match, kicking five goals. The Demons will be looking to send off former captain Brad Green in style, with a couple of wins to end the season.

Melbourne by 22 points.

Fremantle v Richmond, Patersons Stadium, 4.40pm This will be the defining moment of Fremantle’s season; a win boosts its

claim for a top eight spot. Fremantle on the weekend let a golden opportunity slip against a very good Adelaide Crows. Captain Matthew Pavlich was restricted for the first time in months and the other forwards struggled to score. For Richmond, the club just wants to win as many games as possible as another disappointing season draws to a close. The only thing the Tigers can focus on now is the individual medals, with Cotchin a smoky for the Brownlow and Riewoldt a chance for the Coleman.

Last time the sides played, Fremantle showed them up at the ’G. Fremantle by 24 points.

meaningful match for one team only.

The Adelaide Crows are now within striking distance of top spot on the ladder. The Crows on the weekend played an excellent match to defeat Fremantle; Patrick Dangerfield is in scintillating form, dominating his last four matches. Matthew Wright played his best game at Adelaide with 37 disposals. The Lions played a lacklustre game against Carlton. Jack Redden was the only senior player to stand up, with only first- and secondyear players playing well. The Lions have hit the wall and the Crows are charging toward September.

Adelaide by 57 points.

Collingwood v North Melbourne, Etihad Stadium, 7.40pm The Magpies play a rare home game at Etihad Stadium and this time they come up against North Melbourne.

The Pies won their top of the table clash against the Swans on Saturday night, Dayne Beams outstanding in notching up 34 touches and kicking three spectacular goals, the last sealing the win. The Kangaroos won an important clash against Essendon by 24 points, and “Boomer” Harvey was nearly best on ground earning 21 touches and kicking three thirdquarter goals. Collingwood plays play this ground very well; it has won its last eight matches and its last four against North Melbourne, so Pies for me. Collingwood by 45 points.

Sunday 19 August Port Adelaide v West Coast, AAMI Stadium, 1.10pm This match doesn’t present much value for punters, but there is plenty to play for. The Power last week sacked coach Matthew Primus and welcomed caretaker coach Garry Hocking with a 72-point belting. The scoreboard didn’t reflect the effort and determination the Power showed in the first and third quarters. The Eagles had a stirring win against Geelong.

The ruck duo of Cox and Naitanui was the best we’ve seen this season with Cox getting 47 hitouts. Top four is probably outside their grasp but winning form is good form.

West Coast by 29 points.

Brisbane v Adelaide, Gabba, 7.40pm Saturday night at the Gabba is a

With just percentage separating the top three teams, every match counts and with a tough last couple of matches, this game is vital. The Dogs continued their disappointing form, losing by 70 points to Richmond; all Brendan McCartney can do is play the kids and hope for the best in 2013. The Swans should have beaten Collingwood but wasteful kicking and a stinker from captain Adam Goodes cost them. The Swans can win anywhere and this will be no exception.

Sydney by 78 points.

Hawthorn v Gold Coast, MCG, 4.40pm Round 21 finishes with a potential blowout between the high-flying Hawks and the lowly Suns. The Hawks look to have a top-four finish in the bag, but they must win all their matches and rely on opponents to lose to make the top two. On the weekend the Hawks played an average game against Port Adelaide, but still won by 72 points. This week they will be bolstered with the return of Lance Franklin and Jarryd Roughead, and if the Suns aren’t careful this could be a massive margin. But this doesn’t matter too much for the Gold Coast; last week they won their first game at their home ground and did it without a huge impact from Ablett and Bennell.

Hawthorn by 116 points.
