Many hands help wildlife IF animals and birds could talk, they would praise Somerville Secondary College woodworking students and Manton and Stony Creeks Landcare Group. The two have combined to build dozens of nesting boxes that will solve a “housing crisis”. The Landcare group’s David Maddocks says “many of our little feathered and furry friends are desperately short of nesting sites”. The group is keen to hear from people who have tall trees in bushland that could hold a box. “Most eucalypts in the region are relatively young, but it’s old trees of 50-100 years that develop hollows high up used by native birds and animals,” he said. “Nesting too low means creatures are exposed to predators, and many suitable sites have been claimed by more aggressive exotic species.” Each box has been designed for a specific species of bird or animal. Mr Maddocks said Bunnings in Hastings had made up samples and supplied timber. To offer a place for boxes, email gwa@hotkey.net.au Furries’ friends: Nick Anderson, left, Anne Gibson, Dean Knust, Shannon Reid, David Maddocks and Jayden Robinson. Picture: Yanni

Clean Ocean bows out

Acrimonious end to anti-pollution campaigner By Keith Platt THE Clean Ocean Foundation is about to close after nearly 12 years leading the charge against ocean sewage outfalls. It is understood that members of the foundation’s committee met on Friday 13 July and voted to wind-up the organisation. Its CEO for the past two years, James Clark-Kennedy, was sent a letter the

following day saying his services were no longer needed. The decision sparked a flurry of acrimonious emails between Mr ClarkKennedy and Clean Ocean’s founder and president Peter Smith and secretary/treasurer Andrew Tiller. The foundation has about $40,000 in the bank, which will be handed to another organisation listed on the National Register of Environmental Or-

ganisations. Preferably one with similar ideals. Few of the foundation’s 350-plus members have been told about the decision to cease operations. The foundation was formed to stop the daily discharge of about 300 million litres of partially treated sewerage at Gunnamatta. Since having a yet-to-completed victory at Gunnamatta – partially treated

Superannuation debt lifts rates

By David Harrison SOME Mornington Peninsula residents will pay higher rates than the 3.9 per cent increase announced in the shire budget last week. The rise has been caused by the shire’s lastminute revelation that it has an $11 million superannuation debt. This lifts some property owners’ 2012-13 rate level from 3.9 per cent to 4.45 per cent – 14 per cent higher than the much-vaunted decade-low figure declared on 28 May when the draft budget was presented to the council. Councillors approved the budget on 23 July. Next day, in his press release praising the shire’s budget performance, the mayor Cr Frank Martin did not mention that rates would be higher for some, instead stressing the shire’s “significant record” on maintaining low rates and assuring that the super debt was well under control. Finance manager Geoff Emberson stated in an addendum to the budget on 23 July that revaluation of some properties had reflected “an effective increase in shire rate income from 3.9 per cent to 4.45 per cent”. The number and location of these properties was not disclosed. In the shire’s press release, Cr Martin described as a “windfall” the $590,000 extra income the residents would pay. The windfall as well as “annual organisational efficiency savings of $500,000 per annum” would underpin the shire’s funding of the superannuation shortfall, Cr Martin said. Council was keen to ensure that future provision of services was not affected “and that rates in future years would not need to increase to fund the shortfall”. The press release concentrated solely on the un-

funded super debt, and did not mention $105,000 for netball courts or ongoing programs for roads, shire buildings, drainage works, etc. It did not mention the effect the new liability – which pushes total shire debt up nearly 29 per cent from $38 million to $49 million – would have on current spending, including borrowing for the controversial Southern Peninsula Aquatic (SPA) Centre. To fund SPA, the shire said it would be eligible for state government Better Pools funding, which the government says is up to $3 million, and believed it could get $3 million in regional development money from the federal government. It also hoped to persuade southern peninsula businesses to contribute and will encourage wellheeled residents of the area to chip in up to $1.5 million. Rate revenue would contribute $3 million over a number of years, along with $6 million from the sale of “excess and inappropriate assets”. The total of $16.5 million would leave $12 million to be borrowed, the shire stated. The shire estimated the cost of SPA could be up to $32.5 million. Any cost blowout – and the proposed foreshore site could require expensive foundations – would require additional borrowings, risking total shire debt of well above $50 million. The press release ended with a statement from shire CEO Michael Kennedy: “Council’s objective that we fund the superannuation liability without impacting on service delivery or further increasing our rate in the dollar has been achieved, and we continue to deliver a relatively high level of services while having rate levels among the lowest in Victoria.”  See ‘Not-so-super news sends debt to new record’ on Page 8.

New wheels: Wellwishers raised $6500 toward a special wheelchair for Mackenzie Proppe, pictured with her mother Tiffany.

Wheelchair dream edges closer

A SILENT auction on Sunday at the R W Stone Pavilion in Somers raised $6500 toward a special wheelchair for four-year-old Mackenzie Olivia Proppe. Mackenzie has a condition called holoprosencephaly, which means her brain did not divide into two hemispheres as it should. She also has global development delay and cerebral palsy. Mackenzie needs the wheelchair, which costs nearly $16,000, to enable her to attend Somers Primary School with her twin sister Charlotte and

big brother Jamison, 6. She already goes to preschool in Somers. More than 100 residents and friends defied the cool and rainy conditions to attend the auction and afternoon tea to help raise money for Mackenzie. “We expected about 80 people, but a lot more turned up. We are just overwhelmed at the amazing response,” her mother Tiffany said. The Proppe family has lived in Somers for 10 years.

Committee member Jon Wilson, head of Clean Ocean sponsor Balin, said the foundation “had kind of come to the end of its agenda – the Gunnamatta outfall”. He said Melbourne Water’s efforts to purify wastewater at its Eastern Treatment Plant before discharging it at Gunnamatta meant that “the end game is in sight”. “It’s really a handover rather than a shutdown,” Mr Wilson said on Monday. “The decision now is to look for another body to hand over our constitution and money. “The money can’t go to individuals, but it is our plan to close it down.” Mr Wilson said Mr Smith, who could not be contacted by The News, was “talking to a few people” about a handover. Mr Wilson said Clean Ocean “does exist at the moment” and felt Mr Clark-Kennedy had been “indiscreet” by going public about the committee’s decision to close the foundation. Mr Clark-Kennedy has raised questions about the probity of the committee’s decision, laying much of the blame on “egos and personalities”.

He told The News he did not want to enter into a public slanging match through the newspaper, but believed foundation members with young families that enjoyed days at the beach “should have been given the opportunity to carry on the fight”. He said the Baillieu government was yet to make good its election promise to close Gunnamatta outfall and he saw the foundation’s mission statement as the basis for a much wider role than just what was happening on the Mornington Peninsula. Some years before his appointment as Clean Ocean CEO, Mr Clark-Kennedy had closely followed the foundation’s campaigns while working as a journalist for the now-defunct Mornington and Southern Peninsula Mail. His writings under the banner “The Pipe” helped lift the foundation’s profile, effectiveness and popularity. Since becoming CEO he had gained a high media profile and was sought by various media for comments on water quality in Port Phillip and other issues affecting ocean sewage outfalls and wastewater.

High-tech helicopter visits Cerberus THE Royal Australian Navy’s new helicopter, MRH90, visited HMAS Cerberus on Monday afternoon during a five-day training deployment to bases in Victoria and NSW. The aircraft landed after lunchtime and was on static display with personnel from 808 Squadron showing navy trainees its features. The MRH90 (multi-role helicopter) is claimed to be the most advanced tactical troop transport helicopter of the times and is replacing the navy’s Sea King choppers and the army’s Blackhawks.

Australia is buying 46 helicopters at a cost of $2.6 billion – $54 million each. They are being built by European giant Eurocopter and assembled in Brisbane by its subsidiary Australian Aerospace. Sub-Lieutenant Katherine Mulheron of Cerberus public affairs said the training flight would provide “aircrew and maintenance personnel with the opportunity to conduct deployed maintenance schedules, navigation training, and brief Australian Defence Force personnel on the multi-role helicopter”.

“The visit will provide [Cerberus] trainees with the chance to view the MRH90 and learn more about naval aviation,” she said. The navy will primarily use the aircraft to conduct maritime support for ships, medical evacuation, and search and rescue. The army will use it for transporting soldiers and equipment, and medical evacuation. The first helicopter was delivered to the navy in 2009 and 808 Squadron has four aircraft. On an early test flight, a navy pilot said the flight controls of the MRH90

made it feel like a Ferrari after he had piloted Commodores for years. MRH90 is the first fly-by-wire helicopter in the world (electronic flight controls instead of manual) and is made of advanced composite materials. The fully digital cockpit, weather radar and forward-looking infrared sensor system enables it to operate in a wide range of conditions. The helicopter has two pilots and can carry up to 20 seated troops or 12 medical evacuation stretchers or three NATO pallets. Delivery of the full complement of

MRH90s is more than two years behind schedule. The MRH 90 fleet was grounded in April 2010 after an engine failure in one helicopter on a training mission, caused by compressor blades in a jet engine clipping the engine casing.

Place for shedding inhibitions

Kevin Clarke

Finance officer resigns KEVIN Clarke, Mornington Peninsula Shire’s top finance man, has resigned to take up a senior role with Frankston-Mornington Peninsula Medicare Local. The Medicare Local branch for the region was started in May and is a federal government-funded organisation designed to assist medical professionals keep people out of hospitals. Peninsula GP Network led a consortium of seven organisations to establish the branch. Mr Clarke, 58, will become director of corporate services for Medicare Local. The shire’s director of sustainable organisation started in the finance department of the Shire of Mornington in 1983, moving to the new City of Casey (the former cities of Berwick and Cranbourne) after council amalgamations in 1995 as director of corporate services. He resigned after a year and moved to Queensland, becoming finance manager at the Shire of Noosa. Mr Clarke returned to Mornington Peninsula Shire in 1999, starting a week after the appointment of current CEO Michael Kennedy. Mr Clarke told The News moving to Medicare Local was “another exciting chapter” in his career and he was looking forward to working at the newly established organisation. He will leave the shire mid-August and start at the end of the month. Mike Hast

By Mike Hast FOLLOWING the success of men’s sheds in Hastings and Somerville, another is set to open in Mornington with an expo and foundation meeting to be held in early August. In Australia, men’s sheds have been around in various guises for many years including as preservation societies for railways, cars and motorbikes, and farm machinery, for example. The first men’s sheds in the modern format started in Broken Hill in the 1970s, and the concept gained momentum after the formation of the Australian Men’s Shed Association in 2007, the peak body for more than 800 men’s sheds in Australia. AMSA and the Victorian Men’s Shed Association promote men’s sheds to state and local governments, business, community organisations and the general public as well as provide forums for member sheds to exchange ideas, share experiences, network and find support. Gary Rogers, of the Southern and Peninsula Men’s Shed Cluster, says the common theme in all men’s sheds is “about men feeling useful and contributing again to their communities, learning and sharing knowledge and skills, making friends, and accessing health and wellbeing information and advice”. Many groups have been formed by retired men, but with changes in society – where men can no longer expect to work full time from their teens to age 65 – many younger men are now gravitating to sheds. “Sheds can be based on woodwork, metalwork, building boats, model trains, computers, restoring old cars, model-making, art, gardening, coffee and chats, community projects and health activities,” he said. Mr Rogers is secretary of the cluster that covers men’s sheds in Hastings, Somerville, Rosebud and Safety Beach–Dromana on the peninsula as well as in Frankston North, Langwarrin, Chelsea, Cranbourne and Keysborough. Mornington and Hampton Park are being formed. The Mornington group is likely to be based at the Peninsula Community Theatre precinct in Wilsons Rd, Mornington, the former Mornington Secondary College site. The precinct includes the theatre, the former library (now a dance and arts centre) known as Studio @ PCT and the old science wing of the school, half of which was renovated in 2010 and 2011 and is now the home of community radio station RPP FM. Reconstruction of the unrenovated half is set to start soon, with $350,000

Students digging in at Shed 11 WESTERN Port youngsters are being encouraged to make a land claim. They have been invited to take control of their own backyard at Shed 11 in Hastings and help turn it into a useable space. The project started last Thursday with students of Western Port Secondary College pitching in to help

build a wood-fire pizza oven, paved barbecue area, signs and a brick fire pit. Their involvement will run for two terms, but other young people are also invited to Shed 11 to “hang out and socialise, away from technology and indoor pursuits”, said coordinator Laura Nicol. Shed 11 will open 1.30-4.30pm each Thursday until

13 September and start again on Thursday 25 October through to Thursday 6 December. Volunteers are also needed to help with the various projects. For details call Laura Nicol of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s youth services department on 5950 1666 or 0419 582 343.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s remaining “Plan Peninsula Conversations” will be held at Balnarring, Mornington and St Andrews. Twelve conversations have already been held across the peninsula to gain community feedback on the “future look, feel and role” of the peninsula. The shire says topics raised so far have included:  Preservation of coasts.  The need for more transport connections.  The value of young people to the community.  Towns boundaries and development.  Availability of services, including medical services and education.  Maintaining township characters.  Traffic and transport.  Impacts of tourism on environment and facilities. The shire says feedback from the workshops will form the basis of its submission to the state government’s Mornington Peninsula Planning Statement, which will set the direction, extent and nature of development on the peninsula for the next 20-30 years. The final sessions are 6-8pm on Thursday 2 August at Mornington Civic Bowls Club; 6-8pm on Friday 3 August at Balnarring Community Hall; and 10am-midday Saturday 4 August at St Andrews Recreation Hall. Comments can also be made online via Twitter, Facebook and YouTube or by filling in an online survey at www. mornpen.vic.gov.au

Not-so-super news sends debt to new record In an election year councillors have – by a staggering coincidence – opted for the lowest rate rise in years, which inhibits the shire’s ability to do mundane stuff like fixing potholes, doing more essential drainage works and putting a lid on rubbish tip fees, let alone any other capital works.

COMMENT By David Harrison THIS is a dry but important subject. It involves large sums of money and an enormous debt that all ratepayers will help pay, one way or another. The subject is the shire’s unfunded superannuation liability, estimated at between $11 million and $13.8 million, which is needed to pay some retired shire employees for the rest of their lives and how it will affect shire spending, especially on the Southern Peninsula Aquatic (SPA) Centre. The dry and dusty facts also give an insight into how the shire is handling its finances at a time when very careful money management is called for. Cast aside your ennui, if you have the strength. Make a cup of tea. Take the phone off the hook and read on. First, some questions:  Why didn’t Mornington Peninsula Shire realise that its unfunded superannuation liability would have blown out in the past year or two? Every ordinary citizen knows that the global financial crisis, which exploded in 2008, savaged their super.  Why did it not do what many other councils did: sit up and take notice – and take action – when the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) alerted it to the problem? There is evidence this occurred last December.  Why was the CEO of a Melbourne suburban council “astounded” when told of CEO Michael Kennedy’s declaration that he’d only found out about the debt in recent weeks? Did the MAV forget to tell the shire? Dr Kennedy’s doctorate is in business admin-

istration. He must have studied these things.  Why did many councils (Frankston, Kingston, Ballarat and Greater Dandenong among them) have ample time to include the unfunded super in their 2012-13 budgets, while our financial guardians slipped it into the shire budget at the last moment as an addendum? A press release from Ballarat mayor Frank Harris on 28 June stated: “It would be irresponsible of us to adopt the budget without clarifying what this [super debt] could mean to the budget and capital projects for the community over the next year.”  Why is the shire brushing off the awful reality of this record debt while pushing SPA, the priciest capital work in the shire’s history, already heading for $40 million without a single architectural drawing or even a report on whether the Rosebud foreshore area is suitable – with only hopes and guesses at how they will pay for it? These are serious questions. So far there are not many serious answers from the shire. A quick explanation of unfunded superannuation: the extraordinarily generous scheme, long closed, pays a guaranteed pension – a “defined benefit” – to members when they retire, no

matter the financial circumstances of the fund. That’s a shire obligation. The shire did not initiate the defined benefits scheme. In a sense it is a victim, saddled with decades of future pension payments imposed on it via a scheme dreamed up in more carefree financial times and shut down in 1993. It is now a monster problem, especially now, and thus a monster cost to ratepayers. It is a bad time for the shire to take on more borrowings. In an election year councillors have – by a staggering coincidence – opted for the lowest rate rise in years, which inhibits the shire’s ability to do mundane stuff like fixing potholes, doing more essential drainage works and putting a lid on rubbish tip fees, let alone any other capital works. But the narrow majority (6-5) of councillors, hellbent on building SPA as soon as possible, seem comfortable with this, denying it will affect routine shire spending or other essential works. The cost of SPA has been estimated at above $30 million and rising, but is likely to cost ratepayers more than $40 million. The foreshore pool is supported by six of the 11 councillors as well as

some members of the shire executive. They are expediting this massive, flawed project, deaf to any arguments for a more logical and cheaper site. They must explain why work on footpaths, halls and pavilions cannot be accelerated as needed and why potholes are proliferating around the shire like pimples on a teenage chin. Dr Kennedy appears to be distancing himself and his staff from this potential financial fiasco. In a recent post on the shire website, he stated: “Shire officers are ‘professionally indifferent’ in relation to the (SPA) centre. We provide advice as requested by council, and implement whatever council decides, but we are professionally indifferent to whether council builds an aquatic facility, and if so, where it is built. “That is our responsibility, and I take that responsibility very seriously.” Many would find this statement disingenuous. Some shire officers have been deeply and continuously involved in ensuring SPA is built on the Rosebud foreshore. For example, the shire has provided a misleading document to Environment Minister Ryan Smith to demonstrate community consultation on SPA – hardly “professionally indifferent” behaviour.

The shire was not indifferent in selection of the “right” pool site. The consultant hired to find it was told: anywhere, so long as it is on the foreshore. In his report the consultant boldly told the shire the more logical site would be inland, near other sports facilities, close to users such as schools. Oddly, this part of his report was removed before it went on the website. In such ways Dr Kennedy and his staff have regularly diverged sharply from the professional indifference he states is the shire’s position on this project. Numerous other examples of staff support for SPA could be detailed, but space is limited. In answer to a recent question about the new shire debt burden, finance supremo Kevin Clarke (who resigned last week to join a medical organisation) fell back on the usual mantra he trots out when debt is questioned: the shire can easily afford it, we have a low debt burden, and our rates are very low. None of which really answers the questions asked above about why the shire apparently didn’t twig to the impending debt tsunami when other councils did. Are we too relaxed and comfortable down here? Did the carrier pigeon get shot down? “You’re addicted to debt,” one grizzled veteran council observer told senior staff at a recent budget session. The accusation was laughed off in the usual condescending sort of way. Debt is no problem to those who don’t have to pay it.

Orchestra makes a move for students

Ready to roll: One of two cars used by learner drivers on the Mornington Peninsula.

Extra car for learners

THE Hastings-based L2P learner driver program has been so successful that Mornington Peninsula Shire has extended it to the southern peninsula. For the past two years the program has had a car based in Hastings and now one is being supplied for young people in the Rosebud area who do not have access to vehicles. The L2P program is a TAC-funded, VicRoads-managed learner driver mentor program. The mayor Cr Frank Martin said the two cars helped young learner drivers who had limited or no access to a supervising driver or a vehicle in which to learn to drive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program has been a great success in the Hastings area and we can now expand the program to learner drivers from the southern peninsula,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Cr Martin said volunteers were a â&#x20AC;&#x153;vital part in making the program effectiveâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Volunteers donate their time to support the learners and supervise their 120 hours of on-road driving practice, using the vehicle provided by the shire. Without the assistance of volunteers, this program would not be possible.â&#x20AC;? He said the shire would â&#x20AC;&#x153;welcomeâ&#x20AC;? fully licensed drivers who could help learner drivers â&#x20AC;&#x153;get behind the wheelâ&#x20AC;?. Learners who have limited or no access to a supervising driver or vehicle, or fully licensed drivers who can contribute at least one hour a week to help disadvantaged young people to gain 120 hours of on-road driving experience, can call 5950 1666.

Golf hotel on course for opening By Keith Platt PORTSEA Golf Club’s $10.5 million hotel, clubhouse and convention centre is on course to open in May 2013. Completion of the project will mark a major step in the club’s bid to survive and prosper in an area that has no shortage of golf courses. The 24-room hotel complex will be run under the Accor hotel group’s Mercure banner. “We approached a number of groups and Accor was on top of our list,” Portsea committee member Michael Power said. “The club owns everything and is paying for construction and they’ll be our managers.” Money for the development has been raised by selling part of the golf course, which was originally subdivided in 1926. “The title had been sitting in our safe,” Mr Power said. Fourteen of the 21 blocks have been sold. The remainder are on the market for about $1.2 million each. Five of them are literally underneath the existing clubhouse and will not be available for development until it is demolished. Work on the new hotel and clubhouse began in April with celebrity club member Eddie McGuire donning a safety helmet and fluoro jacket for photographers to record the event. Mr McGuire and “ambassadors” for club sponsor, vitamin manufacturer Swisse, are likely to be involved in an event planned for the opening. Mr Power said the club was “planning something special to celebrate the

biggest event in the club’s history”. Although reluctant to provide details, Mr Power said the opening could involve Mr McGuire and Swisse, whose ambassadors include cricketer Ricky Ponting, Formula 1 driver Mark Webber, sailor John Bertrand, TV vet Chris Brown, former football coach Tommy Hafey, swimmer Geoff Huegill and entertainer Marcia Hines. Mr Power said the development had been “quite a journey”, involving two VCAT (Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal) hearings and marketing land during the global financial crisis.

He said the club – the southernmost of 22 rivals vying for members and players – had decided to build a hotel because it needed “a point of difference; golf courses are a very competitive business”. “We’ve taken this different approach to secure the club’s future,” Mr Power said. “It will also help build the peninsula as a tourist destination and we’re plugging into the Accor group worldwide.” Mr Power said the Portsea club had “a long, proud history” since its beginnings in the mid-1920s He said the club had received “good

support” from Mornington Peninsula Shire and the builders were ahead of schedule despite weather problems. However, news of the tie-in with Accor was not universally acclaimed, with golfers questioning the viability of running a hotel with the golf course. In February a spirited discussion on iseekgolf.com ranged from calling for details of the deal with Accor to changes to the course layout. “Peppers fled to Moonah Links and now Delgany, once an exclusive hotel, is another housing estate. So what makes Portsea think it is going to

somehow reverse this trend?” one post stated. “Ask any owner or operator of hotels in the Sorrento or Portsea area and they’ll tell you making money from accommodation over the full year is extremely difficult. “The most successful clubs engage the membership as they progress through such critical matters. “But ask any Portsea member about these sorts of details and you’ll get a blank look, because they have been kept in the dark when it comes to everything other than bland generalities.”

Lew pool removal terms agreed By Mike Hast RETAIL clothing billionaire Solomon Lew will give Mornington Peninsula Youth Enterprises $50,000 as part of an agreement for the demolition of a pool built on public land on Mt Eliza’s foreshore in 2009. Mornington Peninsula Shire announced the payment to the not-forprofit group – which trains disadvantaged young people – in a media statement on Tuesday. The shire described the payment as “an ex gratia payment” and said it was “appreciative to [sic] Shuttlehall for this gesture of goodwill”. The shire statement did not nominate the sum, but the amount was confirmed to The News in June. An ex gratia payment is a voluntary

payment made without the giver recognising any liability or legal obligation. The horizon pool, believed to have cost about $400,000, was built without a planning permit and on Crown land next to the Lew family holiday property on Osprey Ave above Moondah Beach. Shuttlehall Pty Ltd is a company owned by Mr Lew and his daughter Jacqueline Lew. The home already had an indoor pool. In August 2010, the shire ordered the outside pool be demolished and remediation of Crown land on which the pool, a retaining wall, fence and landscaping had been placed. Months of controversy followed as Mr Lew’s lawyers tried first to buy the public land and then lease it. Mornington MP David Morris lobbied strongly

for no sale of the land. A retrospective building permit was sought from the Building Appeals Board, but refused. The shire closed part of Moondah Beach over fears the land would subside when cracks were discovered in the retaining wall. In December an agreement was reached with the shire prior to the matter going to Frankston Magistrates’ Court. Shuttlehall will make the payment to MPYE as well as pay the shire’s legal costs, believed to be at least $150,000. In its statement, the shire said it had executed a deed of settlement with Shuttlehall. Solomon Lew’s name is not mentioned in the shire statement, which The News believes was vetted by Mr Lew’s lawyers, Schetzer Brott and Appel.

“... Shuttlehall has been given a licence to carry out remediation work on the land, which involves demolition of the pool and associated retaining walls,” the shire stated. “The work will also include soil reprofiling and planting native vegetation so that the site will match the condition of the surrounding Crown land. “Council became aware of the existence of the swimming pool in this secluded part of the Crown land reserve in late 2010. The pool was emptied and covered to prevent its use in mid2011 while the council investigated the stability of the site and conducted negotiations with representatives from Shuttlehall regarding its safe removal. “Given the geological nature of the area and access issues, considerable

time was required to properly investigate and document the proposed works. “The work plan was then submitted for approval to the coastal management authority [Department of Sustainability and Environment] and other relevant state government bodies.” The mayor, Cr Frank Martin, said the deed of settlement had avoided “potentially very costly legal proceedings, which may have seen the issue tied up in the courts for many years”. Shuttlehall would be given a “reasonable period” to comply with the deed. “Our officers will be working closely with Shuttlehall to ensure the works can be completed as soon as possible, subject to weather conditions and the availability of contractors.”

Bittern on call to stamp out graffiti Going, going: The iconic 78-year-old lookout tower on Arthurs Seat will be demolished in August. Picture: Yanni

Historic tower to go By Mike Hast THE iconic lookout tower atop Arthurs Seat will be demolished after an engineerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report declared it had deteriorated beyond repair due to concrete cancer. The tower was built in 1934 to celebrate the centenary of Victoria, along with the Shrine of Remembrance, MacRobertson Bridge over the Yarra River at Toorak, Mac.Robertson Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; High School, and MacRobertson Fountain in the Domain, all associated with Sir Macpherson Robertson, a wealthy confectionery manufacturer. The tower is listed on Mornington Peninsula Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage overlay and is in Arthurs Seat State Park. Its removal coincidentally opens the way for a new chairlift to replace the one built in 1961 that has not operated since mid-2006 when mechanical failure stranded about 12 people.

The incident followed the January 2003 collapse of a pylon that injured 18 people and stranded dozens more. A chair slipped down the cable in March 2004 and broke the legs of a 77-yearold woman. The consortium building the chairlift is led by 2011 Australian of the Year Simon McKeon, a senior executive with Macquarie Bank. In May 2011, the consortium unveiled plans for a $5 million chairlift that included a large glass and steel top station near where the lookout tower now stands. Plans showed a 360-degree viewing tower as well as a bottom station with cafe and large car park. The chairlift will have open chairs like the old one as well as six-seat, enclosed gondolas. Parks Victoria this week called for ideas from the public â&#x20AC;&#x153;on future inter-

pretation of the history of the lookout tower and Arthurs Seat precinctâ&#x20AC;?. Chief ranger Libby Jude stated the tower would be removed â&#x20AC;&#x153;in coming monthsâ&#x20AC;? and key items would be salvaged from the tower. Peter Holloway, president of Dromana and District Historical Society, wants a small museum on the footprint of the old tower underneath the chairlift cables. An interpretative centre could be incorporated into the chairliftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top station, he said. It would tell the story of Arthurs Seat, which was a significant site for Aborigines as well as Europeans over more than 200 years. Explorer Matthew Flinders climbed the 300-metre mountain in 1803 during his survey of Port Phillip. Mr Holloway said the tower would be demolished at the end of August.

By Matt Vowell BITTERN residents are upset at the increasing amount of graffiti in their area. They say graffiti, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;taggingâ&#x20AC;?, on public walls, signs and private fences, is lessening the value of their properties. Residents who called the police said they were told there was next to nothing police could do. They were told by Mornington Peninsula Shire that graffiti cleaning kits were available, but when asked for some were told either the kits were out of supply or were not effective. In Western Australia, police have a program called Goodbye Graffiti, and closer to home Frankston and Casey councils have plans to help those affected by graffiti helped by a graffiti management coordinator. Both municipalities have a policy of removing graffiti within five days. The policies have shown a decrease in graffiti in their areas. Hastings MP Neale Burgess, MP for Flinders Greg Hunt, Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors and CEO Michael Kennedy have all been sent letters complaining about graffiti. As a result, Sunday 5 August has been dubbed Graffiti Removal Day, with support of the shire, Bittern CFA and volunteers. The CFA will provide a fire truck while Mr Burgess will supervise the use of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;graffiti clean-up machineâ&#x20AC;?.

Volunteers will be welcome and are asked to wear old gear and gumboots and bring rubber gloves, a scrubbing brush, bucket and raincoat. Participants in the graffiti removal will meet at 10am at Bittern Stadium, 101 Hendersons Rd, Bittern. Volunteers can email nalaura@bigpong.net. au or call 0408 389 613.

Rescuer retires

CLIVE Reddecliffe of Volunteer Marine Rescue is retiring after 33 years of service. Mr Reddecliffe was at the first meeting of Mornington Bay Rescue when it was decided to create a rescue service. VMR president Col Strawbridge said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for ensuring that the rescue operations are drilled to perfection has seen the crews win several awards for safety initiatives.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The volume of work he has done will never be understood by most, but it has been critical to driving improvements and maintaining the operations of the service as we know it today.â&#x20AC;? He said Mr Reddecliffe would continue with the service as a life member but â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be getting his feet wet anymore. After more than 3000 rescues he deserves to relaxâ&#x20AC;?. VMR Mornington and Hastings operates in Port Phillip and Western Port.

Join fight against decay THERE are many lifestyle risks that can lead to dental problems. Here we tackle some of the main culprits: smoking, alcohol and drugs. Even if the decision is not to quit, there are still things you can do to lessen the effects of alcohol and nicotine and give yourself the best chance of avoiding the more serious sideeffects. Smoking Smoking hides the signs of gum disease, sometimes for years. The condition can be very advanced before you notice any damage. The chemicals in smoke affect the blood supply to your teeth and gums and they also thicken your saliva, preventing it from doing its job of neutralising food acids and protecting the teeth during the day. Smoking still remains the biggest risk factor in developing mouth cancer. This is often difficult to spot in its early stages. Alcohol The main threat to teeth and gums comes from the sugar content in alcohol (including beer), which breaks down to form acid and attacks the mouth. Heavy alcohol use (defined as more than four standard drinks on one occasion) combined with smoking will give you a 15 times greater risk of developing mouth cancer. Alcohol’s dehydrating effects along with the body’s lowered immunity mean people are more likely to contract things like oral cancer and be less able to fight off oral and other diseases. Drugs Drugs of all descriptions can lead to dental

problems. Some prescribed medications can cause tooth erosion either because they are acidic or because they cause a dry mouth, which means the natural defence against acid attack (saliva) is compromised. The regular use of illegal drugs can also cause lots of damage. Cannabis, cocaine, ecstacy, heroin and methamphetamine, among other illegal drugs, can cause a variety of side-effects that affect the mouth including dry mouth, teeth grinding, jaw clenching and acid attack. All of these can lead to serious mouth problems including tooth erosion, gum disease and oral cancer. What can be done? The obvious solution is often the hardest one. Giving up can be difficult – or impossible if people rely on a prescription drug – but there are people and organisations that can help. Even if people don’t decide to quit, they can still try and lessen the effects of alcohol, smoking and drugs.  Brush and floss correctly to keep teeth and gums clean.  If you forget to do this after a night out, leave the toothbrush on a pillow before you go out to remind you after getting home.  Swish a mouthful of water around every so often when smoking and drinking to increase saliva and rinse away sugars and acid in the mouth.  On the way home from a night out, chew sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva and get rid of harmful sugars and acid.

THE true size and scope of this designer home is not evident from just a casual glance. The home makes full use of a 1290-square metre parcel of land and extends lengthwise down the block. Once inside, the vast interior will generate just one word â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wow. A tiled hallway takes you past a series of bedrooms and bathrooms and up into a magnificent open-plan family room with an array of tinted, double-glazed windows creating a warm and bright area, with high ceilings further complementing the impressive space. Measuring about 334 square metres (36 squares) under the roof line, with ducted heating and evaporative cooling throughout, this three-bedroom home could offer a fourth bedroom if required but for an enviable workâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;life balance the space works best as a great home office and there are other living areas to provide options galore for the largest of families.

IN near-new condition, this immaculately presented three-bedroom unit in a block of only two is just a short walk to all town amenities and attractions. The modern, tiled interior consists of a stylish open-plan area featuring a kitchen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with pleasant sky-blue benchtops and stainless-steel appliances including gas cooker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lounge room and meals area.

Purchasers can buy here with a degree of confidence and security with the property still under builderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warranty. There is no body corporate.

Film and frames

Extra! Extra! SITUATED opposite the train station, this large, modern newsagency opens from early morning to catch the earlybird rush for papers and magazines. Covering from Mordialloc to Thrift Park, with 1500 newspaper deliveries a day, the business also has deliveries to two supermarkets and 24 sub-agents. This is an exceptionally well-priced business with keen vendors ready to sell.

THIS is a popular business in Main Street, Mornington, specialising in film processing, digital printing and retail sales of frames and custom framing jobs. Also offered is the restoration and copying of old photos and video transfer to DVD. Trading hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 4pm. Experience in photography and digital printing is an advantage but definitely not necessary as all training will be provided by the vendors.

Love of a dog of indeterminate origins By Stuart McCullough WE called him a mongrel, not as a slur against his character but for lack of information. To this day I have no idea as to his constituent parts. For all I know, he could easily have been one part terrier, one part cattle dog and one part astrophysicist. Having decided to purchase our new pup from the Lost Dogs’ Home, we had arrived knowing the process was, more or less, a lucky dip. As we toured the floor, there was plenty of barking as animals bayed for attention, but of all the dogs we saw that day, he was the only one to look excited to see us. The choice was easy. There was always an element of mystery about him. Because no one was able to say precisely what he was, no one knew exactly what he would become. It was as though he had a secret identity. Some suggested the length of his hind legs meant he would be a large dog. Others declared with confidence he was as big as he was ever going to get. The dog said nothing. The name was my father’s idea. I don’t recall there being a short list or anything that could be loosely described as “consultation”. He was given a name and that was it. Having regard for the animal’s somewhat humble beginnings, my father thought it only right we should make up for

lost time and provide him with the most noble name we could imagine. We named him Monte. Having won his freedom from the Lost Dogs’ Home, Monte the mongrel of indeterminate origin decided to live life to the fullest. He chased everything. He pursued us around the backyard and scurried after birds through the scrub. He set off at great speed after rabbits and foxes. His energy seemed to have no limits. He even chased our orange Kombi van down the length of the driveway, giving up only after we pulled onto Coolart Rd. One day Monte pursued our van all the way to the road proper. Whether the thrill of the chase simply overcame

him or he just forgot to stop running, I couldn’t say. Bursting into the public gaze, he kept galloping as though chasing the horizon. It was especially strange because, at the time, he had an ice cream container around his neck. The container was supposed to stop him from scratching an abscess, but it made him look like an astronaut. As the dog burst out onto the road, a chorus of children’s voices had alerted our parents to the fact that Monte had escaped into the wider world. The Kombi performed a rough U-turn and headed back to search of our errant canine. In the time it took us to turn the car around, a council road crew filling in potholes had picked up our cosmo-

naut mutt. They placed our strange looking dog of unknown origin (although, by his appearance, outer space might have been a reasonable guess) on the back of their truck and headed back toward the depot. With all the power the engine could muster, we got the Kombi up to nearly 50 kilometres an hour. We considered it warp speed. Lucky for us, the council truck was slower still and we – albeit not quickly – gained ground on it. Monte saw us coming. Unable to contain himself, he leapt from the truck tray, launching himself into space. For that brief moment, he really was an astronaut. Having landed on the bitumen, he was immediately hustled into our van and spent the next few weeks recuperating in the living room. I doubt he ever wanted to move out. Some time later, we relieved him of the ice cream container, but within seconds, he was scratching at his neck, more than ever. Perhaps it was simply a case of abscess makes the heart grows fonder. While completing the first flight from a council vehicle onto Coolart Rd was quite an achievement, it was far from his greatest accomplishment. This came in 1982 when he was awarded first prize in the highly competitive and prestigious category of “Dog with the Waggliest Tail” at the Tyabb Primary School Pet Fair.

The rest of the competition didn’t stand much of a chance. When he was presented with a sash, it only made him wag his tail with even more vigour. I had thought, at the time, that he could have gone on to other, larger competitions – perhaps even have a crack at the national title – but it didn’t seem to matter to Monte. All the same, it was a title he wore with distinction long after the wag left him. He was a part of our family, there’s no doubt. When I left home to go to university, Monte remained, patrolling the yard, the paddocks and the bush at the back of the block. He never grew an inch. The most he conceded to his advancing years was a slight greying around the mouth and stiffness in the way he walked. Still, he paraded through the yard as if it was his own personal kingdom. When the time finally came to move from this world into the next, Monte took one last walk across the paddock and into the scrub. He simply disappeared. Monte was eventually found and buried in our backyard. On a small wooden cross there is an inscription: “Here lies Monte – born a dog, died a gentleman.” The term “mongrel” no longer fitted him. He simply outgrew it. www.stuartmccullough.com

Wet winter rocks MARK Fulton knows about rock. As a fourth generation garden supplier, he is well qualified to advise on what rock is best for your drive and pathways. “Considering the winter we’ve had, crushed rock has been very popular recently,” Mark said. “We have everything to weatherproof your driveway.” Somerville Garden Supplies stock a full range of crushed rock, including Tuscan topping, Dromana topping, and Lilydale topping. Mark also stocks class 3 and class 4 crushed rock, and pathway toppings. Of course, if rock isn’t what you are after, Mark can offer other solutions. “We’ve got a full range of paving supplies too,” he said.

In fact, there isn’t much that Mark can’t offer. “We’ve been in this game a long time. We know how to get the best quality goods to our customers.” Mark recounted a customer’s story. Recently she had purchased premium soil mix from Mark and some from another garden supplies outlet. While she was already harvesting vegies grown in Mark’s soil, the others hadn’t progressed beyond seedlings. “That is always satisfying. I’m local and I want to have local people enjoying a great experience with Somerville Garden Supplies. “As I say, give us a try as you’ll be pleasantly surprised.”

By Frances Cameron AS a long-time supporters of the idea that our solar and wind resources need to be greater utilised, my husband and I decided to take advantage of the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solar panel rebate and get some installed. Often, one action is followed by consequences and a seemingly simple task became larger with the need to drastically cut back the tea-tree (Leptospermum laevigatum) surrounding our home, leading to the need to dispose of the large amount of green waste. Hiring a mulcher was the obvious answer and as a result we now have a nice pile of mulch breaking down a bit before being put onto the garden â&#x20AC;&#x201C; problem solved. Some other jobs to get into during August are to cut back hard the faded salvia flowers and let some light into the centre of your tree ferns by cutting away the old, dead fronds; the new fronds will be starting to uncurl from their soft brown beds and spring out towards the sun. While out in the garden with your secateurs, check on the citrus trees to see if there are any suspicious-looking lumps on the stems. Sometimes they can be housing the larvae of the citrus gall wasp. The wasp (Bruchophagus fellis) lays its eggs into the stems of citrus trees. Over the year the eggs hatch and the larvae begin to eat the tissue of the stem, causing wounds that can lead to large â&#x20AC;&#x153;gallsâ&#x20AC;? or lumps. The galls can significantly weaken the structure of the stems, causing weakness and the potential for further damage.

Spring is when the larvae have become adults and drill their way out of the stem to start the life cycle over again. There are no chemical controls available to the home gardener, so the only way to keep the pest under control is to cut the galls off and burn them before hatching starts. Citrus will also benefit from a feed of citrus fertiliser at this time. Spring is definitely on its way, Wattles are blooming and some fruit trees are setting blossom; it can still be very cold this month, and frosts arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t uncommon. If you get any unexpected frost damage, it should be left on your plants until all danger of frost is over. When it gets warmer, frost damage can be cut off to improve the look of the garden. Rose pruning should be well and truly over by now: spray the bare stems with a bicarb soda spray to help combat black spot, and refresh the mulch around the base of the plant, making sure to keep it away from the stem. The bicarb spray can be made by dissolving three heaped teaspoons of baking soda into five litres of water and adding 2Â˝ tablespoons of a horticultural oil such as white oil. The mix should be sprayed over the entire plant, coating the whole surface. Note that oils marketed as white oil are generally petroleum-based and not considered to be okay to use in an organic garden. There are other oils more acceptable for organic gardening available on the market so look out for them. Giardinaggio felice...

HISTORY

Home from war to meet the family

Back on the land: Fred and young Marilyn. Growing family: Marilyn, aged three and a half, and Peter, six months, with Evelyn.

FRED Renouf celebrated his 100th birthday at the Baxter Retirement Village on 6 March. The following month he broke his arm in a fall and died on 28 April. When Fred was 96, his family urged him to set down his reminiscences. This is the second-last part of his story.

Part Six Home from war at last THE day eventually arrived when I would see Evelyn for the first time in 16 months and meet my baby daughter. Now came the task of setting up home in a short time. Materials were in short supply, and you had to know somebody and pay for materials through the nose. The old house on our property in Graydens Rd had one tank with about 100 gallons of water left in it. The tap was outside. There was a well in the backyard that we had to bucket water out of using a long rope. Poor Evelyn rushed around with a lamp that was designed to be fixed to the wall, and quite a few lamp glasses came to grief. No electricity, no telephone and shops a couple of miles away; what a shock it must have been! We were able to get a doctor’s certificate that gave us priority in getting the phone. However, the house was a considerable distance from the road so I had to get poles for the line. Neal’s property was about three miles up the road so I was able to cut down two suitable trees and drag them down behind the McCormack tractor. They were somewhat flattened on one side by the time we arrived. Transport was an immediate prob-

lem as my little Triumph car, a single-seater, was not suitable. However dad’s second wife, Elizabeth, had a Ford Prefect that she was willing to sell for 200 pounds. We could then put Marilyn in her basket on the back seat and this served us well until Peter arrived in 1948. Neal and Mavis only had a Chev truck and, on one of those occasions when we loaned them the car, Evelyn, who had to put drops in Marilyn’s eyes, made a mistake and put iodine in them. We phoned our neighbours and they were able to take us to the doctor. Fortunately no harm was done. There were numerous work parties on the house at different times, especially painting. The two front rooms were timber lined. The next two, which were lean-tos, had hessian lining covered with newspaper. Evelyn was able to get some wallpaper and these two rooms received a facelift. One lean-to had a cement floor that was our kitchen with the bathroom next door. We were able to buy another water tank, I did the plumbing, and we had water laid on inside the house. The loo was a walk of about 50 yards from the back door. Walter, Ivy’s husband and my old army mate, later gave me a hand and we put a verandah across the front of the house. It faced the north and proved very useful when Peter arrived as Evelyn could put the pram in the sun in the winter. We bought a cow and the milk was scalded, so we made our butter and had lovely scalded cream on our cereals, dessert, etc. We had a Coolgardie safe to try and keep things cool and we bought a woodchip bath heater. One idea that was not a great success was

to paint the inside of the galvanised bath: you can guess where the paint stuck! In 1947 I had cleared an additional 10 acres and had fenced it with wire netting to keep the rabbits out. (They would strip the bark off the trees and kill them.) I planted 800 Jonathon and the rest in Granny Smith. Originally there were only three Granny Smith trees on the property and I consider them one of the premier varieties of apples. Before the advent of controlled-atmosphere storing, we never picked Granny Smiths before Anzac Day. However, nowadays the public wants a green apple and the Granny Smiths are picked before they have their best flavour. Jonathon was the most popular variety in the early days but their big fault was they did not have a good shelf life once taken out of the cool store. I also planted Packham and Winter Cole pears; the latter never took off in Melbourne or overseas and I later removed them. Our father was very good to us in that he allowed the three boys to rent his orchard at a reasonable rate. Because I had a producing orchard, Alec and Neal had more responsible roles in “Island View” and both received 10 per cent of the profits before splitting the balance three ways. I became active in the welfare of the farming community as secretary of the Australian Primary Producers’ Union. At the Tyabb Cool Store I was a director for about 40 years including two three-year stints as chairman. With our crops of apples increasing, Alec, Neal and I took up as many cool store holdings as we could get in Tyabb and later also in Hastings. A

person was only entitled to a 400-case space, so a grower would nominate his wife and children and sometimes others. Being a director of the cool store and later having my own, I was entitled to attend the Victorian Cool Stores’ Association quarterly and yearly conferences, which were held at various locations. One year I took the family and our caravan to Cooma, but Peter fell on rocks and knocked out one of his front teeth. After coming out of the army, I had several bouts of malaria and on one occasion when I was laid low, Evelyn decided to milk the cow. She put the feed in the bail, but did not lock it. Be-

fore she had extracted more than a few drops of milk, the cow backed out of the bail and she had to call on a neighbour to do the job. That first summer Evelyn was unwell one day so I took her to the doctor. He was busy and told us to come back after tea. Not realising that he meant she should not eat, Evelyn ate something and it could have been fatal. She was operated on for appendicitis. Hastings Hospital only had four beds and any overflow was housed in an iron roof lean-to. There was no cooling and they had no electric fans to deal with the heat wave. I managed to borrow an electric fan from a local storekeeper. However the sister-in-charge

was unsympathetic, and Evelyn would never go back there. Peter William was born on 14 May 1948 at St George’s Hospital where Marilyn was born, and Cheryl Lydia the following year at Mornington Bush Nursing Hospital. The “William” goes back to grandfather Unthank who was a pioneer in the Hastings area, and “Lydia” was my mother’s name. Evelyn’s feelings notwithstanding, I became a supporter of Hastings Hospital and was chairman for a few years. Shortly before Cheryl arrived, we were able to get a new Vauxhall car. Our names had been on a list for many years. In fact cars were in such short supply that people were selling them for more than they had paid. Food rationing finished soon after the war, but materials for housing and machinery

were very hard to come by. On coming out of the army, troops were issued with a 10 pound voucher for tools; I got a wheelbarrow, spirit level, handsaw, hammer and a wood plane. When the baby was expected, I bought 70 acres on Hendersons Rd near Warranqite Creek for about 10 pounds an acre. I bought an old Bren gun carrier to knock over the tea tree. I wired a railway sleeper onto the front of the carrier and proceeded to flatten the scrub. After a while the wire got caught on the track of the carrier and the sleeper came hurtling through the air, catching me a glancing blow to the back of the head. It made me stop and think of another lucky escape. I sold this property a few years later for a small profit. To be continued.

Bulls gore Redlegs, YCW leash Doggies PENINSULA DIVISION By Toe Punt KARINGAL defeated Mt Eliza for the second time this year in MPNFL Peninsula Division. Played at the home of the Redlegs, many expected the home side would be able to reverse the result of earlier in the season. However, the Bulls dominated from the first bounce and had it not been for inaccuracy, the final result would have been far greater than 64 points. The Bulls doubled the amount of scoring shots of their opponent in the first half, boosting 18 to nine with David Hirst dominating through the middle. The thing you have to love about “Budda” Hirst is his ability to play well in big games. He rarely puts in a bad one when there is so much at stake. He booted five goals as a midfielderforward and proved once again is one of the best in the competition. Michael Burke was at his elusive best and Steve Charalambous continued his purple patch of outstanding form. “Charra” is in team-of-the-year form. Like earlier in the season, the Bulls’ defence strangled the Redlegs. Troy Hoad was best-on-ground the last time the sides played and his run from half-back on Saturday was a feature. Cal Dixon is unheralded in the back line, but is rarely beaten, and Luke VanRaay again did an outstanding job

PAGE 34

leading his charges in the defensive zone. The Redlegs were held to just four goals in each half. Their usual dominance through the middle and quick ball movement forward was stopped. Michael Loury kicked three goals, and Scott Lockwood and Sam Lloyd were restricted to a couple each. Dave Barton and Dan Gormley were strong performers, Scott Simpson bounced back from a niggling injury at the Australian country football championships and Ben Landry was in fine form. While it appears the Redlegs have what it takes to beat Frankston YCW, they struggle against the defence of the Bulls. For Mt Eliza coach Jason Watts, there is plenty to think about in the next four weeks. His side will be playing Karingal in a second semi-final in six weeks and he needs to start working on a plan that can combat the Bulls’ ability to lock them down. Much like the way Karingal has to come up with a way to score against the Stonecats. Chelsea is in danger of missing the finals after coming up against a rampaging Bonbeach. With allegedly one of the heftiest payrolls in the MPNFL, the Seagulls have failed to field their best side all season. This has created inconsistency and a losing habit.

Western Port News 31 July 2012

The Sharks are now in fourth place on the ladder, equal on points with Chelsea, but 40 per cent clear. Seaford is a further game back on 24 points, but also has a better percentage than Chelsea. On Saturday, Bonbeach kicked into top gear in the second quarter after trailing by a goal at the first change. The engine room, headed by skipper Daniel Smith and Paul Rebechini, fired up, and Shane McDonald was at his brilliant best. To say “Macca” put on a clinic is an understatement. He again proved he is a star, booting six goals in a dominant performance. Shaun Foster kicked three, as did Anthony Raso, and Mark Tyrell continued his brilliant season. The third quarter was a great spectacle. Defence went out the window as both sides peppered the goals, each team booting six majors. However, the last quarter belonged to the Sharks, who kicked seven goals to two. The Sharks had 10 goalkickers. Chelsea’s main contributor up front was Chris Worner with four, while David Biagi and Sam Carpenter were their side’s best players. Seaford booted five goals to two in the third quarter to shut the door on Langwarrin. The Tigers recorded a comfortable 57-point victory, Luke Smith the star of the show with his run and dash and Brayden Irving finishing with five

goals. Things were tight early with just two goals the difference at the main change, but the Tigers were able to open up the game in the second hour with Aaron Walton, Rory Luxton and Kieran Shaw dominating. Seaford had 25 scoring shots to 10 in the second half. Aaron Shaw proved to the football community how talented he is with seven of Langwarrin’s nine goals. Jarryd Amalfi was at his best and Dale Eames made a welcome return to form after badly breaking his finger. Pines boasted its best win of the year, smashing Edithvale-Aspendale to the tune of 10 goals. The Pythons were up and about from the first bounce and opened up a handy 19-point break at the first change. This blew out to 30 points at the halfway mark. In the second half, the red and green were super impressive, snagging 13 majors to six. It has taken too long for the Pythons to get into shape and play the style that Stevey Ryan wants, but the foundation being laid in the second half of the season for 2013 is sensational. The discipline and expectations of the club is also strong. There is no question that the likes of Shaun McPherson, Dale Tedge and Adam McPherson are in the Python’s best 22, but if you’re not going to do the work, you won’t get a gig in the best side. This is the way to build a footy club and Ryan and his charges are doing a

great job with three wins in the second half of the season. Mornington let its guard down with one bad quarter of footy against the league’s best team on Saturday and it cost them dearly. At three-quarter time, the Doggies had restricted Frankston YCW to just five goals and trailed by three points at the major change. However, rather than keep their foot on the jugular of the reigning premiers, they let their guaard down and the home side responded with seven goals to one in the third. This effectively was the end of the game. In the last quarter, it was a bit of a shootout with 10 goals being kicked, the Doggies managing to kick four. Lew Roberts proved to be a handful for Mornington with six goals, while Ben Tellis continued his sensational season with three. With Shane McDonald, David Hirst and Sam Lloyd, Tellis is among the best midfielder-forwards in the business. Ash Eames controlled the ruck for the Stonecats and Paul Wintle was outstanding in the back line. Aidan Speedy was dangerous in attack for the Doggies with three goals, and Michael Bray, Matt Johnson and Chris Paxino were outstanding. Defence: Karingal Bulls’ backline was the key to defeating Mt Eliza Redlegs on the weekend. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

Sharks bite Rye; Crib, Somie, Tyabb downed NEPEAN DIVISION By Toe Punt RYE goalkicking sensation Justin Van Unen was restricted to a handful of touches and no goals against an intimidation Sorrento in MPNFL Nepean Division on Saturday, the second half of a split round. Touted as the Nepean match of the round, the game was an absolute fizzer, the Sharks smashing the Demons to the tune of 13 goals. Van Unen, who was coming off AllAustralian selection from the national country football championships, was well held by Chris Bagot. Bagot has gone from being a spare parts player two seasons ago to the leading full-back in the competition. He has become an A-grade defender, rarely gets caught out of position, reads the ball wonderfully well and does what every backman should do – concentrate on the footy and not his opponent. This is why Bagot wins so much contested footy and takes a lot of marks for a last line defender. However, it was the pressure up the ground that certainly helped Bagot and his fellow defenders on Saturday. To beat Rye, you have to ensure they do not get run from half-back and the

ball does not end up in the hands of Adam Kirkwood streaming through the centre. The likes of Ben and Sean Cain and Sam Smith have a great ability to win the contested footy and dish it out to finishers Leigh Morse, Kirkwood, Darren Booth and Josh Collie. The Sharks had 14 goalkickers on Saturday, the major contributors being Josh Moore, Tyrren Head, Glenn Boyington and a returning Kayle StringerMorris with two each. Let’s hope Stringer-Morris can stay fit and be part of the premiership defence. Troy Schwarze was at his best, and Daniel Hickey and Guy Stringer played important roles. Ben Winters-Kerr was very good for the Demons, as was Booth and Smith, while Cam Dunn also played one of his best senior games for the club. The loss sees Rye drop to fifth on the ladder, and on the same number of points as Frankston Bombers, but with a healthier percentage by about 50 per cent. Dromana’s demolition of sides continued on Saturday when it crushed Crib Point in a half of football. The Tigers booted 14 goals to five in the first two quarters and put the game beyond doubt.

Although the second half belonged to the Magpies, the Tigers still managed a five-goal victory. The Pies had no answer for Steven Gaertner up forward, who booted five goals, and Terry Wheeler was explosive with three. Rikki Johnston was able to venture forward and boot a couple while through the middle, Braedan Dennis, “Rocky” Lawrence and Ryan Slocombe were dominant. Johnny Flack booted five for the Pies and was sensational throughout, David Cook and James Cook were fine contributors and Luke Herrington booted four and was among Crib Point’s best. The Tigers remain in second place on the table, 40 per cent clear of Hastings in third. Rosebud is in fourth place on the ladder, two points and 0.13 per cent behind Hastings after recording a healthy 55-point win over Somerville. The Buds booted 10 goals to three in the opening half and shut-up shop after that. There were just seven goals kicked in the second half. Ryan Spooner and Tommy Baker booted three goals each for the Buds, and Rhys Bancroft and Jamie Clarke continued their recent good form.

Once again, the Eagles went with youth. Troy Jacobson was back in the seniors from the under-18s, worked hard and was rewarded with a goal, and the likes of senior campaigners Leigh Stewart, Justin Farrelly and Ben Sedgewick led from the front. Frankston Bombers maintained its push for the top five with a hard-fought win against Pearcedale. Things were tight early with just three points separating the sides at the main break. However, the Bombers were able to lift their intensity in the second half, win the contested the footy and give forwards Brad Wakeling and Jay Reynolds first opportunity. Wakeling finished with his biggest haul for the year for the Bombers with five majors, while Reynolds, Jake Foster and Brian O’Carroll all kicked a couple. Shawn Wilkey was outstanding in a tagging role, Haydn Moore continued his dominance in the ruck and around the ground, and Brad Harvey continued his good form footy of the past five weeks. The Panthers couldn’t go with the Bombers in the second half, kicking 3.7 to the Bombers 6.10. The Bombers had 32 scoring shots to 23. Dean Jans-

sen was good for Pearcedale, as was Byron Hoe and Mitch White. Devon Meadows climbed above Somerville on the Nepean ladder with an emphatic 38-point win against Tyabb. Playing at home in the Den, Devon fielded a pretty strong side and kicked eight goals in each half to outshine the Yabbies. Ryan Talbot booted six for the home side and Daniel Velardo contributed four. When these guys are up and going and the supply is thick and fast, they are extremely hard to stop. Billy Hayes and Jess Dehey were at their best, and Callum O’Hare dominated in the middle. The Yabbies had few answers, although they did have some fine contributors. Andrew Driscoll finished with four goals, Whalley, West and Booth performed well, and Matty Dimkos led his charges extremely well. Fanged: Crib Point Magpies had no answers to the fast-starting Dromana Tigers and although the Pies outplayed the Tigers in the second half, Dromana recorded a five-goal win. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

An inspirational football mum Time to ‘stack’

THIS is the time of year when teams that appear to be out of the finals race stack their reserves teams. It’s also a time to ensure under-18s who have played a lot of senior footy are back with their teenage teammates in preparation for a finals campaign. It is interesting to note some of the players who are playing in the twos for Somerville. Ben Crowe, who was playing in the Frankston Dolphins’ seniors 12 months ago, booted five goals in the Magoos on the weekend. Luke Forsyth, Stephen Crowe and Guy Austin were also running around in the reserves. Weeks prior to that, Todd Farrelly was in the Magoos. It looks to me the Eagles are loading up for a tilt at the reserves flag.

By Brian Tanner CASSIE Langdale is a special woman and the pride of Hastings Junior Football Club. Cassie’s partner Heath Langdale died on 3 February 2010 while training with his beloved Westernport Warriors. At the time was coaching the under-12s at the club. Not only has Cassie had to deal with this, but also the death of their precious daughter Caitlyn. Heath’s

legacy continues with Cassie’s commitment to helping out at the club. When I approached her about becoming club secretary, Cassie had no hesitation in taking up the position even though she dislikes football. Cassie wanted to help out as well as assist her son Connor continue playing football and provide him with a focus in difficult times. Heath would be proud of them.

Cassie is an inspiration to all parents. No matter what tragedy life brings, there is always good that comes out of it. On behalf of everyone at the club, we would like to thank Cassie and recognise the time and effort she is putting in to help the club.  Brian Tanner is president of Hastings Junior Football Club.

Query over finals venues

ONCE again, the MPNFL has got it wrong with the selection of the Nepean Division finals venues. Finals are a showcase of football in any league. The best teams playing the best football at the best venues – or supposedly. Why would Somerville and Pearcedale football grounds be the venues for finals football? We have the four best grounds on the southern peninsula at Dromana, Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento yet the league continues to use only Rosebud. If it’s about convenience for league officials or helping some clubs raise revenue, this is not in the best interests of the Nepean Division footy fans. On the other hand, Pines and Frankston Park are the venues for Peninsula Division finals, which is logical and correct. Editor’s note: MPNFL operations manager Ian Benson said the league had asked all clubs for expressions of interest regarding hosting finals, a process that had been followed for the past few years. He said submissions had been received from six clubs – Hastings, Pearcedale, Rosebud, Rye, Somerville and Tyabb, but not from Dromana and Sorrento, and the board had decided not to use Rye.  Netball finals will be played at Pearcedale and Rosebud.

Friday night blockbuster Hawks v Cats Round 19 Previews Friday 3 August Hawthorn v Geelong, MCG, 7.50pm In the match of the round, two of the competition’s fiercest rivals play to increase their momentum as the race to the finals heats up. The Hawks on the weekend made it eight wins on the trot and kicked 20 plus goals for the third time in four weeks. Captain Luke Hodge was inspirational, booting five goals in his first match back since round six. The team has consistently shown it isn’t reliant on Lance Franklin to kick goals Roughead, Gunston and Breust have proven this in the past three matches. The Cats continued to treat their home ground as a fortress when they prevailed against Adelaide in a tough game. The Hawks haven’t beaten the Cats since 2008, but between then and now they have never been in better form. Hawthorn by 23 points. Saturday 4 August Western Bulldogs v North Melbourne, Etihad Stadium, 1.45pm The Kangaroos continue their push for finals when they meet the helpless Bulldogs. On the weekend the Bulldogs were shocking against the Saints; it was almost a mirror image

of the last time the teams clashed where the Dogs only kicked five goals. Scoring has definitely been a problem this year, as in nine matches the Dogs have failed to kick 10 or more goals. The Kangaroos weren’t stretched against the Demons and won by 54 points. Robbie Tarrant kicked four, which should be enough to keep his spot in the side, denying Aaron Edwards the chance to play. First-year player Sam Gibson played his best game, earning 36 disposals. North Melbourne by 45 points. GWS Giants v Port Adelaide, Skoda Stadium, 2.40pm Five weeks to go until finals and it’s safe to say neither of these sides has any chance of making it. The Giants looked okay in patches against Collingwood. Adam Treloar was particularly good, earning 37 disposals. Young forward Devon Smith played well, kicking three goals. The Power was pretty dismal against Fremantle, for three quarters at least, in which they kicked a total two goals. Port struggled to break through the Fremantle press until the last quarter when it was too little too late. The Power have improved this year and like many teams will be aiming for a strong finish to the season. Port Adelaide by 57 points. Fremantle v West Coast, Patersons Stadium 4.40pm In the second western derby of the year, finals are definitely on the agenda for both sides. For the Eagles it’s all about jumping back in the top

four, but they’re going to have to beat quality sides to do it. On a positive note, Jack Darling has worked his way back into form after kicking five goals against the Lions. Young midfielder Andrew Gaff also was excellent, earning 30 possessions; he teams well with the likes of Priddis and Masten. The Dockers had one of their dull, low-scoring wins against a weaker side. It was almost as though they stopped playing after threequarter time in order to preserve their energy for this match. This should be a cracking game, but West Coast has a lot more strings to its bow. West Coast by 14 points. Collingwood v St Kilda, MCG, 7.40pm The Pies are back home this week, this time playing the Saints who are eyeing off a top eight berth. The Magpies did it pretty easily against the Giants; they started slow in most of the quarters but still managed to record a 120-point win. Troubled forward Travis Cloke was back in form and kicked six, and Dane Swan had 37 touches and five goals. The Saints had a pretty easy run against the Bulldogs. It probably wasn’t as free-flowing as they would have liked, but the 76-point win was pretty good. Brendon Goddard played his first good game in six weeks. He’ll need to keep this form if the Saints want to make finals. Collingwood by 25 points. Brisbane v Richmond, Gabba, 7.40pm

While all the attention will be on the game at the MCG, Richmond will be hoping to slide under the radar and get a win on the board after a trying month. It may be too soon to ask, but do the Tigers lose their heads in tight games when other teams relish it? If so, this will be the reason why they’re out of the finals race. The Lions also will be looking to forget the weekend. They were well and truly beaten up by a battle hardened West Coast. As the season comes to a close, their young players will struggle. Richmond by 25 points. Sunday 5 August Melbourne v Gold Coast, MCG, 1.10pm Two of the league’s cellar-dwellers will playoff on Sunday for pride and nothing else. Melbourne will be exceptionally desperate considering its past two losses have been pretty dismal and this is a game coach Mark Neeld will be expecting to win. In the midfield, Nathan Jones has been the sole consistent contributor. For the Suns they, like the Demons, will be looking to finish the season well and playing Melbourne is their best chance to grab a win. Hopefully for fans this will turn out to be a close match, but the Suns have to travel and this will play into the Demons hands. Melbourne by 17 points. Carlton v Sydney, Etihad Stadium, 3.15pm The result of this game will have a huge impact on these teams. For the Blues, a win would lock them

in as a favourite to make the finals, depending on Essendon’s form slump. You can’t help but admire Carlton after the season they’ve had to be able to fight back. Inexperienced players like Bell, Casboult, Dale, Davies and McInnes were in the win against Richmond. Sydney was in cruise control in the win over the Suns. It was the usual suspects in O’Keefe, Kennedy and Jack dominated the game through the midfield. This should be a good match if the Blues play like they did on the weekend, but there’s a reason Sydney sits in first place. Sydney by 36 points. Adelaide v Essendon, AAMI Stadium, 4.40pm Round 19 ends with a top eight clash. The Crows will be keen to make up for the loss in Geelong and will be bolstered by the return of ruckman Sam Jacobs. In positional terms the loss didn’t affect Adelaide too much, but psychologically the loss could fan the flicker of doubt that may cost them come finals time. The Bombers have plunged and don’t look like stopping. There’s only so long you can cover injuries before playing firstrate football becomes unrealistic. On a positive note, mature-age recruit Mark Baguley looks a likely type in defence. Adelaide by 58 points. Twitter: FootballTragic9 Total tips: 112

D-day for Seaford, high five for Strikers By Craig MacKenzie SEAFORD United’s season could hinge on the outcome of this weekend’s top-of-the-table clash against Caulfield United Cobras at North Seaford Reserve. Seaford slumped to a shock 3-1 home loss in Saturday’s Provisional League 2 derby showdown with Skye United. Goals from Frank Dimu and Cristian Espinoza ensured that the visitors went into the interval with a comfortable buffer, but Dimu twice had the chance from the penalty spot to put the game out of reach only to shoot straight at Seaford keeper Paul Seeley. Djuro Mirkovic gave Skye an unassailable lead in the second half, while new signing Michael Cooke got the consolation for the home side. “Saturday’s game is huge,” said Seaford coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor. “If we drop games now we could just about kiss goodbye to our chances of doing something this season.” Taylor will bring Daniel Hodge into the squad to face Caulfield and is hoping English import Luke Gale is available after a six-week injury absence. Langwarrin is in danger of being drawn into the State League 2 relegation battle after losing 1-0 away to Noble Park United on Saturday and having to travel to fellow struggler Diamond Valley this weekend. Vedran Tanasic settled the issue in the 70th minute when he got clear on the right of the Langy penalty area and gave Michael Sivulja no chance with a clinical strike.

Langy’s best chance fell to young striker Liam Ryan, but he failed to convert, shooting straight at fill-in Noble Park custodian Grujo Mrdic. Langy hopes to have Chris Quinn and Boris Ovcin available after injury for Saturday’s vital fixture, and central defender Chris McKenna is back from suspension. If Langwarrin loses to Diamond Valley it will be its fourth straight loss, a first in the 14-year coaching reign of peninsula legend Gus Macleod. Peninsula Strikers enjoyed a fivegoal feast at the expense of promotionchasing Springvale City at Centenary Park on Saturday. Sait Uygur scored the first four goals of a lopsided contest and Alex Akrivopoulos rounded off the scoreline. Uygur’s second goal in the first half was the strike of the game given the stunning lead-up work by central striker Ben Caffrey. “Caff” beat three opponents then drew the keeper before squaring the ball to Uygur who blasted it high into the Springvale net from close range. Strikers’ coach Jamie Skelly knows that it’s a long shot but he hasn’t given up hope of grabbing second place in the State League 3 promotion race. “We play all the sides around us in the next three games and that will decide what happens,” he said. “We’re eight points adrift [of second] with a game in hand so we can’t afford to lose another game this season.”

Winter Motoring Holden Malibu a step closer HOLDEN says it is one step closer to launching the much-anticipated mid-sized sedan Malibu with the arrival of a number of engineering vehicles in Australia. The early production Holden Malibus are in town to continue months of rigorous local and global development and validation work ahead of the vehicle’s 2013 launch. “Holden engineers are responsible for determining a unique vehicle dynamics package including suspension tuning for local customers, and transmission calibrations for the local and global market,” Holden’s director of integration and safety Ian Butler said “The work is being carried out through extensive evaluation testing at our proving ground in Lang Lang and numerous verification drives on Victorian public roads.” Mr Butler said it was great for Holden engineers to get their hands on the vehicles so they could continue to tailor the model to Australian customers’ tastes. “Our engineers have paid close attention to the vehicle’s driving dynamics, ride and handling, suspension and comfort so Malibu will be sure to meet the discerning needs of drivers in this competitive segment. “This is a fantastic global car but we want to make sure it goes on sale with plenty of Holden input to ensure it suits our unique and varied road conditions.”
