THE shooting death of a prized retired racehorse in Myers Rd, Balnarring, early Saturday morning has “devastated” its owners and sent shockwaves through Mornington Peninsula’s racing community.

Police and the mare’s owner are puzzled by the killing, but have not ruled out it being “industry based” or a case of mistaken identity.

Stud farm owner Tony Biddle said the 14-year-old brood mare Arriere was “shot between the eyes” by a high powered rifle from about six metres away early Saturday morning.

Mr Biddle said on Monday he heard the shot at about 1.30am but did not realise its significance.

He checked the area around the homestead but assumed it was a car backfiring near his farm, which was established in 1996.

The farm is believed to be home for bloodstock valued at $2 million or more.

“Someone’s got a grudge against her or us. To kill a racehorse is just not on,” Mr Biddle said Monday.

The $100,000 horse – by Kashani (USA) from Hidden Depths (NZ) – was with other brood mares in a front paddock being readied for breeding.

“I don’t think anyone hates us, but I’ve got a few ideas and the police have a few ideas,” Mr Biddle said.

Mr Biddle said he had “not discounted the idea that the killing may be industry-based, or perhaps they just got the wrong property”.

“The industry is interesting. Some people know everything about everyone, while we are very private people and prefer to keep to ourselves.

“Some people are very serious about some things.

Maybe it was an unhappy punter.”

Purana Taskforce detectives are understood to be inquiring into the betting habits of a number of punters.

Call for ‘urgent’ talks over port’s future Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is calling for an “urgent meeting� with the state government over the effects of its plans to lease the Port of Melbourne.

Under the terms of the lease being considered by the government, it will promise not to allow another competitive port to be built for at least 50 years, effectively ending plans for a container port at Hastings.

Instead, the government wants Hastings to be used as a “bulk� port, adding processed brown coal to the existing trade in petroleum products and natural gas.

The call for talks by the shire comes after similar concerns raised by Frankston Council.

However, while Mornington Peninsula and Frankston councils try to convince the government not to abandon Hastings, the Shire of Bass is arguing from a different perspective.

Bass, too, is writing to the government, to stress its opposition to expansion of the port at Hastings.

It also plans on making a submission to Infrastructure Victoria (which will investigate options for a new port) outlining the costs to the region’s economy and environment of a container port at Hastings.

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Bev Colomb last week said expanding the Port of Hastings “has significant employment and economic benefits for the southeast region of Melbourne�.

The decision to seek urgent talks with the government was adopted with

The council’s action comes more than eight months after Labor won government and an election campaign where Labor signalled its preference for the state’s next container port to be built in Port Phillip and not Western Port.

Frankston Council – which had billed itself as the logical commercial

hub of an expanded port at Hastings – has already expressed its concerns to the government. “A long-term lease will effectively kill off the Port of Hastings expansion for the foreseeable future, and that means killing off a major employment boost in our region,� Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Meyer said (“Frankston lobbying for port at Hastings�, The News, 14/7/15). “In addition, if the Port of Melbourne

lish a major port at Hastings in close proximity to wetlands, which Australia has an international obligation to protect.

It has been estimated that a container port at Hastings would require 24 million cubic metres of dredging to provide access to the estimated 4.5 kilometres of concrete wharves.

On Friday Cr Colomb said the shire wanted a “green� port in Western Port, “operating to world-best environmental standards�. “Council has always supported the development of a green port that has no negative impacts on Western Port,�

Cr Colomb said. “We have not been consulted or informed about any alternate possible uses of the port, and any such proposals would need to be thoroughly worked through with council’s and the community’s active involvement.�

Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council says in its latest newsletter that dust from processing brown coal for export at Hastings could “disrupt [the existing plants of] Esso and BlueScope and the township of Hastings�.

Since coming to power, the Labor government has scaled down the activities of Port of Hastings Development Authority, cutting staff from close to 100 to about 12.

The government has instructed those left at the authority to concentrate on increasing opportunities to use Hastings as a “bulk� port.

This year Western Port is expected to be used by 50 ships involved in the export and import of bulk petroleum and liquefied natural gas.

Greys unfazed when grazing in the rain

Western Port

EASTERN grey kangaroos love living at Seawinds Gardens atop Arthurs Seat – even when it’s raining cats and dogs.

It’s one of the safest places for roos on the peninsula given the pressure of development and the recent trend of building wildlife-proof fences.

Many peninsula residents take their interstate and international visitors to

the gardens to see the mob of roos.

Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to guarantee sightings.

A big advantage of living in a mob is the sentinel system. While others graze, one kangaroo may sense a threat. It will sit upright and investigate. If it senses danger it will flee and the others will be close behind.

The eastern grey is Australia’s

second-largest roo after the red kangaroo. Eastern greys have silverygrey to dusky greyish-brown woolly fur. An adult male can be 2.2 metres tall and weigh 60kg. Females can be 1.8 metres tall.

Seawinds Gardens was established

by Sir Thomas and Lady Travers after 1946. It was bought by the state government in 1975. Picture: Yanni

Justices adjourn to consider O’Toole appeal Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au MORE than two years after the brutal murder of Hastings jeweller Dermot O’Toole, the appeal has been heard against the leniency of the 20-year murder sentence handed down to killer Gavin Perry.

The hearing, on Monday 20 July, was heard in front of three justices at the Court of Appeal.

The majority of the hearing involved often complex legal arguments revolving around the categorisation of the murder as a statutory one rather than a common law murder.

Gavin Perry’s legal counsel also argued over the five year sentences for the two other armed robberies he had committed prior to the murder.

Early in the hearing, counsel for the Department of Public Prosecution (DPP) told the presiding justices that the family wanted them to watch the CCTV footage of the incident to get an understanding as to the ferocity of the attack.

One of the justices replied: “This appeal is not run by the family�.

In fact, there was very little discussion at all of the specifics of the crimes or their lasting impact on the O’Tooles.

During the proceedings, the justices asked counsel for the DPP why they had appealed the leniency of the sentence, after downgrading the charge in the initial trial from common law murder to the less serious statutory murder. “Pragmatism,� replied the counsel. “To avoid a trial and to end up with a

charge that carried the same maximum penalty.�

The maximum penalty for both statutory and common law murder is life, and it appeared that the DPP had hoped the downgrade would not affect the sentence.

It is an unwritten assumption in the legal fraternity that statutory murder is

considered a lesser charge than common law murder as intent to kill does not have to be proven.

The justices argued that by allowing a statutory murder charge Justice Hollingsworth had, in the original trial, been given a set or parameters to sentence within.

They also noted that it was not the

SOLAR PACKAGES

role of the appeal court to move beyond those parameters. “Sentencing decisions are for sentencing judges,� the justices said. “Our role is to see if the judge went beyond the parameters.�

The justices asked why the prosecution believed the murder sentence should have been more than 20 years

considering it did not appear premeditated.

It was argued that Perry was on parole at the time, that he was high on ice, and that the murder was committed during an armed robbery. All these factors, the DPP believed, should be taken into account.

The justices also noted that a 20year sentence was the highest statutory murder sentence ever handed down in the state of Victoria.

In adjourning to consider their decision, the justices addressed the family of Dermot O’Toole in the courtroom. “We understand that the family have an intense interest in the outcome of this appeal. “We want to point out that sentencing parameters were fixed due to a plea of guilty to statutory murder i.e. unintentional killing. “There has always been different sentencing for unintentional as opposed to intentional killing�.

Finally, before adjourning, the justices agreed to view the CCTV footage as the family had wished.

The O’Toole family may now have a considerable wait until the Court of Appeal’s verdict is handed down.

They remain hopeful that they will get justice for Dermot. The only barrier in their way appears to be the original decision to downgrade the charge from common law murder to statutory murder in exchange for a guilty plea.

In an attempt to expedite justice for the O’Tooles and avoid the stress and turmoil of a trial on the family, the DPP may end up inadvertently depriving them of the justice they deserve.

NEWS DESK Skylift gets 50-year lease THE signing of a 50-year lease has cleared the way for the proposed $16 million Skylift gondola service at Arthurs Seat.

Environment, Climate Change and Water Minister Lisa Neville yesterday (Monday) predicted the Skylift will “become a world-class tourism attraction for the Mornington Peninsula�.

Parks Victoria will spend $1.5 million on car parks and “visitor facilities� to “compliment� the project.

Ms Neville said construction of the gondola project was expected to start soon, “after all approvals have been received, with a proposed opening date in late 2016�. “An elevated cable ride has operated at Arthurs Seat since the early 1960s, and continues to be supported

by Parks Victoria’s management plan since the closure of the previous chairlift, due to safety concerns in 2006,� a news release from Ms Neville’s department stated.

Summit start: Greg Hunt and supporters set off from the top of Arthurs Seat to walk 500 kilometres around his electorate, raising money for charity and awareness of autism.

Picture supplied

Hunt’s walk to raise money and encourage talk FLINDERS MP Greg Hunt had an early start on Monday as he set off from the summit of Arthurs Seat for a 19-walk to raise awareness and money for autism. “It was terrific to see so many supporters turn out early in the morning to send me on my way, including children with autism and their parents,� Mr Hunt stated in a news release.

He is hoping to raise $25,000 for the Abacus Learning Centre in Hastings and Amaze (Autism Victoria).

Mr Hunt says he wants people in the community

talk “about what they can do to support people with autism�.

The walk within his electorate will see Mr Hunt take his message to 56 schools and he is encouraging “anyone who knows someone with autism to walk with me for one kilometre a day, or any part of the walk’ to help me support this cause or to meet me along the way for a coffee and a chat�.

Mr Hunt, who is also Environment Minister, will be supported on the road by members of his staff. “If anything urgent needs to be attended to he will receive deliveries from Canberra and staff and man-

age accordingly,� Mr Hunt’s electorate communications officer Samantha Robin said. “As a local MP, the main responsibility of Greg and his staff is to support the community, which is what the walk is about. All proceeds go to autism, which is an important community issue. “Greg is using his own car as a support vehicle, so he will just get in it at the end point of the walk each day and drive himself home.�

Donations can be made at www.greghunt.com.au or to join Mr Hunt’s Walk for Autism, call his office on 5979 3188.

green light MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council approved the controversial $135 million RACV resort expansion at Cape Schanck at its meeting on Monday night last week in front of a packed and sometimes unruly gallery dominated by resort opponents.

Just four councillors were needed to approve the development, which was first publicly proposed in mid-2013.

The council was reduced from 11 to seven councillors with three absent (Tim Wood, whose ward covers the resort, Lynn Bowden and Hugh Fraser) and one declaring a conflict of interest and leaving the council chamber, Graham Pittock (who has shares in the National Golf Club, which adjoins the RACV property).

Voting on the project had been delayed twice since May with councillors who belong to the RACV Club worried about conflict of interest.

The council sought a ruling from local government minister Natalie Hutchins but she told them to get their own legal advice.

Voting for the resort were Antonella Celi, David Garnock, David Gibb and Anne Shaw.

Against were the mayor Bev Colomb, Andrew Dixon and Tim Rodgers.

A report to the council from planner Arthur Cooksley stated it was “recognised that the proposed hotel/resort building is a substantial built form, presenting as a five-storey building from most aspects, with the exception of the aspect facing towards Trent Jones Drive, which presents as a seven-storey building”.

A dozen objectors spoke at the meeting with one saying the building “sits starkly above the ground as an intrusive and dominating element” and was “entirely at odds with the design philosophies which have informed 30 years of development at the resort”.

Mr Cooksley said homes in the precinct were limited to eight metres high but this rule did not apply to the resort.

Nicole Snyder is running the She Rides program for women who want to cycle to improve their fitness and skills.

Opening the road for women cyclists A FUN activity called She Rides aims to help women on the Mornington Peninsula regain their cycling skills, improve their fitness and create a social network.

She Rides was created after Cycling Australia found most women would ride more if they felt safer, more confident in their abilities and had an organised group to ride with.

It is being offered for road and mountain bikes. Life got in the way of my cycling hobby 10 years ago and I’ve only recently returned to it,” Mornington Peninsula She Rides leader Nicole Snyder said.

“I know what it’s like to struggle to balance life, work and family with our leisurely pursuits, so I’m excited to show women that it is possible to have it all. I hope to bring women the same joy I felt when I got back on a bike.”

The peninsula She Rides program is limited to nine participants and one leader.

It has three tiers: Those looking to restart their riding after a long break; those who have riding skills but are looking to ride for fitness; and for those wanting a group riding experience to improve their fitness and riding skills.

Death of a racehorse Continued from Page 1 Mr Biddle said he had told neighbours of the shooting and was now moving other mares to other paddocks for safety. Cows are being relocated to roadside paddocks.

He said he had been with the horses late on Friday, feeding them hay to keep them warm in the predicted freezing temperatures.

He said the killer would have had to cross several electric and barbed wire fences to get to the horse which was shot with a hollow point bullet and possibly “dead before it hit the ground”.

“She was a lovely mare and would have come to the fence to meet her killers,” he said. “She did not deserve to be killed in this manner. These are cowards who knew what they were doing.

“If you hear someone claiming that they killed a horse recently, let the police know so that we can prevent this happening again.”

A search using a metal detector later on Saturday failed to find the spent cartridge, suggesting the killer had removed it to cover his tracks.

“These types of people get what they give in the end,” Mr Biddle said.

“Cowards that creep around in the dark of night to kill a beautiful mare need to be taken off the streets.

“To kill a horse is not good, but to kill such a lovely mare is appalling.”

The thoroughbred won several races in Victoria before being retired five years ago. She had since had three foals, two being multiple winners, and a weanling filly on the ground.

Mr Biddle said Hastings police, who attended the scene, had “assumed the person or persons involved went to some lengths to kill the mare”.

“The kill shot was professionally executed by someone that clearly knew how to kill a horse,” he said.

Anyone with information should call Hasting police on 5970 7800.

Woolies cash snatch A MAN ran off after snatching $1000 in notes from the register at Woolworth’s Somerville store 4.30pm Friday.

Senior Constable Julia Starkey, of Hastings police, said the offender (pictured), aged in his 30s, asked the cashier to change some coins and then appeared to deliberately drop them while the cash register was open. When the cashier bent down to pick them up he allegedly reached over and grabbed a handful of notes and ran from the store.

The offender was filmed on CCTV entering the store, in Eramosa Rd, several times before the heist.

“He’s gone in and looked around a few times and then left and come back smelling strongly of tobacco,” Senior Constable Starkey said.

“No one was physically harmed in the incident but the cashier is shaken up about it.”

The man is described as Caucasian, short brown hair, “pale and sickly” complexion, slim-to-medium build, wearing a fawn coloured zip-up jacket, round-neck brown jumper, blue jeans, discoloured white runners and black backpack.

‘Lucky’ driver escapes flip from freeway A MAN was lucky to avoid serious injury when his car veered of Mornington Peninsula Freeway, flipped, and ploughed into trees late Friday night.

His Toyota Aurion 2006 (pictured) left the road as it was being driven south towards Dromana. A wheel was torn off a wheel and the car was extensively damaged when it crashed upside down in dense roadside vegetation.

Police believe the 26-year-old driver from Dandenong may have fallen asleep before the accident, near the BitternDromana Rd turn-off.

Sorrento SES officer David Lammers said his crew were called to the scene at 8am Saturday “to remove some trees

blocking a car in”, as police had regarded a Friday night salvage as too dangerous.

“They had to remove excess trees and branches from around this vehicle and work with the tow truck driver to extricate the vehicle from the trees,” Mr Lammers said.

Sergeant Danny Lean, of Rosebud police, said the CFA was also called out as the car was gas powered and there were concerns the tank could explode. “We made inquiries and spoke to the brother and the driver has been interviewed. The driver was able to get out himself – he was very lucky.

“He can expect to be charged on summons with careless driving.”

Sleep out for homeless nightmare HOMELESSNESS is a growing concern across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

SalvoCare records show there were 2200 “unique clients” seeking emergency housing in Frankston in 2012-13 and 600 “repeat clients”.

Volunteer organisation Community Support Frankston reports 444 people with no fixed address needed help from the agency last year, up from 292 in 2013.

Christian Youth and Community group Fusion Australia is turning the spotlight on the problem of youth homelessness with a fundraiser that also aims to show people what it means to sleep out in rough conditions.

A ‘Sleep In Your Car’ fundraiser will be held at Mornington Park early next month to raise awareness of youth homelessness. Sponsored participants will give up the comfort of their bed for one night to raise money for Fusion’s work

with local youth at risk.

Fundraising and resource manager Stephanie Byrne hopes Frankston and peninsula residents will gain an insight into the troubled lives of those less fortunate.

“We’re encouraging people to give up their bed for a night to help someone else find theirs.”

Former Melburnian of the year, Brendan Nottle of The Salvation Army, will give a keynote address to describe what homelessness on the peninsula looks like, within the wider context of Australia.

The ‘Sleep in your car’ fundraiser will take place from 5.30pm on Friday 7 August at Mornington Park, Schnapper Point Drive, Mornington.

Entry is $5 but is free for participants who choose to sleep out in their car overnight.

See sleepinyourcar.com.au for full details.

THE southbound freeway service centre on Peninsula Link at Baxter is scheduled to open on Thursday.

It will end controversy that has lasted more than five years and saw Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors butt heads with the well-connected developer AA Holdings as well as former roads minister Terry Mulder and former planning minister Matthew Guy, who approved an amendment to the shire’s planning scheme to enable the centres to be built and ignored the shire council’s desire to stop commercial buildings in the green wedge.

The southbound servo is a “twin” and its northbound version will likely open in December. The two centres are costing the developer about $30 million including two new lanes on a freeway bridge as well as on and off ramps.

The project is costing AA Holdings more than first anticipated as the freeway builder, the Southern Way consortium and its construction contractor Abigroup, built a four-lane bridge at Baxter even though the service centres were in the original plan. Southern Way was under enormous financial and political pressure to complete the freeway on time and had lost crucial weeks due to wet weather.

State government agency Linking Melbourne Authority kicked off the service centres controversy in mid-2010 when it sought a company to build and operate the twin outlets. LMA managed the construction of Peninsula Link, which started in February 2010 and was finished in January 2013. The service centres were due to open at the

same time as the freeway.

In June 2010, LMA chief executive Ken Mathers said the centres were expected to create up to 400 permanent local jobs and would “give drivers the chance to refresh and overcome the dangerous effects of fatigue”, a claim that was rejected by shire councillors who pointed out that it was less than an hour from Melbourne to the freeway’s end at Rosebud (or just 20 minutes between Rosebud and the northbound service centre).

In its submission to the Peninsula Link environmental effects statement process in December 2008, the shire told LMA it “would continue to discourage the development of service centres within the green wedge zone ... to avoid further impacts on the landscape or agricultural land”.

In late 2011, the council knocked back the proposal, stating the centres would have unacceptable environmental impacts on the Moorooduc flood plain, were too big, and would adversely impact residential neighbours.

AA Holdings appealed the decision in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in June 2012. The tribunal confirmed the council’s decision and stated key reasons for its refusal included insufficient traffic to justify the servos, loss of green wedge farmland, and the potential impact on breeding grounds of the threatened dwarf galaxia native fish.

AA Holdings went back to the drawing board and submitted a scaled-down version with each FSC building reduced from about 3000 square metres to 1600 sqm and fewer retail outlets.

This was the proposal effectively approved by Mr Guy before the council could comment last year. The council had called for an investigation

into the exit to the freeway from the southbound FSC, which objectors and shire officers said was not long enough for trucks and towing vehicles to attain a safe speed to rejoin the freeway.

The council wanted a path so pedestrians walking to the FSCs were not tempted to cross the freeway. It also wanted “adequate noise protection, control of litter, and security for the directly adjoining landowners”.

Mr Guy said he wrote to the council on 31 August 2013 and received no reply. He approved

the scaled-down version of the FSCs in February 2014, just days before the council discussed the matter at its 24 February meeting.

Mr Guy said the council had had since August to comment and that the scaled-down proposal “had the support of shire officers”. He dealt with the matter under a planning law known as A20 part 5 intervention.

The council said the servos would “adversely impact the economic vitality of other activity centres on the Mornington Peninsula” as the pro-

THE southbound service centre at Baxter has a system to stop so-called petrol drive-offs, people paying for fuel but driving off without paying.

Many service station owners factor the losses into their operations and police are rarely called but AA Holdings has been installing Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems at its freeway service centres such as at Officer on the Princes Highway.

The system uses both long-range and short-range cameras.

All vehicle number plates are read and checked as they enter the fuel pump forecourt. A warning system alerts staff of known drive-off offenders and stolen number plates before they ever arrive at the pump.

The system is connected to a national database.

Potential drive-offs can see that their number plate is being monitored on a screen, making them think twice about committing an offence.

The system also “catches” people who have failed to pay on a previous occasion or occasions.

ANPR systems have been used by Victoria Police for several years to identify unregistered cars and are being used more than ever now that Victorian vehicles do not have registration stickers on windscreens.

The United Kingdom has had ANPR systems for more than a decade to stop drive-offs but they are also used to automatically stop unregistered and uninsured cars being filled with fuel.

Drivers can only fill their cars with fuel once the camera has captured and logged the vehicle’s number plate.

posed retail part of the servos was “equivalent to the size of a local activity centre [that] would typically serve a population up to 5000 people”.

Last Thursday a spokesman for AA Holdings told The News the southbound centre had three food outlets – McDonald’s, Oporto, and Oliver’s Real Food as well as a Calvino Coffee shop and a 50-square metre tourism information centre, which will be operated by the shire.

“There are fuelling points for 26 cars, three trucks and two for electric vehicles,” he said.

Other features include a toilet for people with disabilities, “truckies’ lounge” with showers and toilets, energy saving lights, tanks for collecting rainwater that will be used for irrigation and flushing toilets, solar panels for hot water, a fuel pump vapour recovery system, and electronic detectors for leaks.

The spokesman said landscaping was still to be completed at the southbound centre as well as a clean up. “The trees are growing at a nursery,” he said.

Uber pushes rideshare solution Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au

Wrapped in the job WITH July heading towards a record for being cold, donations are pouring in for the Winter Blanket Appeal.

Blankets, sleeping bags, knitted blankets, beanies, scarves, and mittens are being welcomed by families and those without these winter necessities.

Bendigo Bank branches on the Mornington Peninsula are acting as collection and distribution points. Western Port co-ordinator Fran Henke collected a car load from Hastings, Mt Eliza and Mt Martha community bank branches on Friday.

Donations are deposited at the Dromana branch to be sorted by Southern Peninsula Food for All at Rosebud, and then distributed to needy homes by St Vincent de Paul Mornington Peninsula Conferences.

Wool is available at Hastings and Rosebud branches for knitters who can’t afford to buy it.

RIDE-SHARING business Uber has highlighted a lack of public transport options across the Mornington Peninsula in a submission to the state government asking for its controversial uberX service to be legalised.

US based Uber, backed by corporate giants such as Google and investment bank Goldman Sachs, launched its unregulated uberX service across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula late last year (‘Uber’s arrival challenges taxi operators’, The News 20/1/15).

Licenced taxi operators and drivers are angry that authorities have failed to stop Uber operating illegally in Victoria although the Taxi Services Commission has charged 11 Uber drivers with allegedly driving “a commercial passenger vehicle” without a licence.

The test case in the Melbourne Magistrates Court has been delayed several times and is expected to resume later this month.

Uber sent a 47-page submission to Transport Minister Jacinta Allan late last week urging the Labor state government to “create a licence class for ridesharing” to licence Uber drivers who list their details for passengers to book paid car journeys via the uberX app for smartphones.

Uber spruiked its ridesharing option as a boon for the peninsula’s economy during the peak summer tourism season.

“The population of the Mornington Peninsula is usually about 154,000 residents but over the summer period can swell to a population size of 250,000,” its submission stated.

Mini controversy: Uber launched its illegal uberX ridesharing service on the Mornington Peninsula in December last year. Picture: Instagram

“The area is only served by 96 taxis and limited public transport. This makes it difficult to meet the needs of the tourist population.”

Uber said its 50 “partner vehicles on the road” provided rides to more than 20,000 people on the peninsula over the summer months to and from events such as the Portsea Polo.

“The peninsula is held back due to its size and a lack of public transport options,” the submission claimed.

Uber says it can “be an effective last mile for public transport … where public transport is not available or where services are limited”.

A spokesperson for acting Transport Minister Luke Donnellan said the Andrews government has set up a Taxi and Hire Car Ministerial forum to hear submissions from taxi operators and passenger advocacy groups.

A working group is expected to report back to the forum later this month.

“The working group that is looking at ride-share services reports back to the forum later this month, and we will take into account the information provided there in our detailed consideration of this important issue,” the spokesperson said.

Last month Liberal opposition leader Matthew Guy publicly backed Uber’s ridesharing offering and said it should be “a top priority” for the Andrews government to regulate the uberX service.

“It’s not about replacing cabs,” Mr Guy said.

While its uberX service remains unregulated, there are concerns about a lack of public liability insurance should passengers or drivers be injured in a car accident.

Uber stakeholder Google has not waited for ridesharing to be regulated in Australia before advertising Uber’s service. The internet search firm includes Uber trips as a transport option when searching for directions using Google Maps.

Shire seeks ‘urgent’ talks over state’s plans for port Continued from Page 3 While previously reluctant in the absence of a definite plan to comment on the environmental effects of a major port at Hastings, Flinders MP and federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt last month joined fellow Liberal state Opposition Leader Matthew Guy in highlighting the damaging effects of blasting Port Phillip Heads to accommodate larger ships.

However, the state government has not suggested blasting to deepen existing shipping channels, and transport experts have repeatedly stated that the world’s largest ships will never be sent to Port Phillip.

In September 2014 Mr Hunt told The News that Bay West “would be the

largest dredging and blasting proposal in the last 30 years”.

“There is currently no proposal to assess regarding the Port of Hastings, but if one were put forward, it would have to be assessed by what is likely to be one of Australia’s most comprehensive environmental impact statements under federal law.”

One year before that and weeks before he was made environment minister, Mr Hunt said he believed “the port expansion will be an important boost to Hastings and Western Port in terms of jobs and investment but it must be carried out under strict environmental conditions”.

“Western Port is of huge environmental significance and we have a duty

to ensure that any development is carried out sensitively,” he said.

“A consideration of Australia’s international obligations under the Ramsar Convention would be included in the environmental impact studies carried out before any work on the expansion began.

“The planned expansion of the Port of Hastings would have to undergo rigorous environmental assessment at both state and federal levels before any sort of construction work could begin.

Both levels of government would have to be satisfied that all potential environmental impacts could be minimised or negated.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors say they want to talk to the state

government about its plans for the future development of the Port of Hastings and a long-term lease of the Port of Melbourne.

They are “strongly opposed to any future deepening or widening of the shipping channels or The Heads in Port Phillip” and do not want to see Hastings “excluded as an option for further expansion as a direct result of” leasing the Port of Melbourne.

“We really need some direction from the state government about their longterm plans, both for Hastings and the Port of Melbourne,” Cr Colomb said.

“If the Port of Melbourne is to be Melbourne’s only port for the next 70 years, it will require significant dredging and deepening of The Heads and

[Port Phillip] bay. Council is deeply concerned about the impact that dredging will have on the bay.”

Cr Colomb said it was “important that all stakeholders have an opportunity to have their views heard and their concerns addressed”.

“The bay is a vital part of the peninsula’s environmental, social and economic fabric and we must ensure it is protected and enhanced for future generations.”

Although the Port of Hastings Development Authority is left with just a skeleton staff, Cr Colomb said council wanted the government “to commit to finalising the Port of Hastings studies, building on the work that has already been undertaken”.

LETTERS Out of the picture I am filled with conflicted feelings while writing this letter. Having just received the latest copy of Flinders MP Greg Hunt’s Flinders Community News and, being quite impressed with the quality of the publication and the account given of his various involvements, one is left with a feeling of productive goodwill.

However, what concerns me greatly is the complete absence of the “big picture” issues, particularly in relation to his being our national Minister for the Environment.

Somewhere in his personal journey, among all the political clamour and debate, he seems to have lost sight of the whole purpose of taking upon himself the responsibilities of being our national environment representative.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Mr Hunt with his family in our local community but am left feeling angry with him. He is a well-educated man, filled with youth and vigour, yet continues to be under the influence of people and ideas which belong to an age which is history.

Mr Hunt’s children deserve a dad who not only believes in the reality of human induced environmental degradation, but who is using his education to fight this awful phenomenon of global pollution and the neanderthals who would try to deny our complicity.

On page 8 of his newsletter, he seems to suggest that UNESCO has given a big tick of approval for the state of the Great Barrier Reef.

But, and it’s a big but, he should know that this is disingenuous because UNESCO has warned that all is not well; that it will be keeping a watching brief because it has real concerns for the reef and its future health.

“I love renewable energy.” Mr Hunt felt it necessary to make this comment just this week.

Yet his government has, step by step, continued to disassemble the very structures deemed necessary to achieve the best possible outcomes for the renewable energy market.

A highly regarded investment analyst, Kobal Bhavnagri, recently suggested that prospective investors were confused by the Australian government’s ideologically driven agenda. I too am both perplexed and disillusioned by its indefensible position, which is putting at risk the world’s future liveability and hence a healthy world for Mr Hunt’s children and my grandchildren’s future.

Robert Boundy, Mt Martha

Coal before food With destruction of some of Australia's most productive farmland likely as a result of the fast track approval by Environment Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt of the $1.2 billion Shenhua Watermark coal mine in New South Wales - a 35-square-kilometre open pit coal mine - we now have a new economic decision criteria.

Where it was relatively easy to understand the logic of the economic decision relative to “Guns or Butter”, the current “Coal or Food” economic decision is much more puzzling and therefore presents quite a paradox.

We now have economic policies that trade our future to provide food for ourselves for a mineral that is becoming rapidly obsolete (coal).

While this federal government is stifling industries and jobs of the future by cutting support for the Clean Energy Finance Corpora-

Gnome arrival A NINE metre silver steel sculpture of a gnome has been installed at the Cranbourne Rd exit of Peninsula Link.

The Reflective Lullaby artwork replaces the popular Tree of Life sculpture which has been moved to McClelland Gallery & Sculpture Park in Langwarrin.

Not everyone is happy with Frankston’s latest visitor, with many residents and drivers taking to Facebook to stick the boots into the gnome.

Picture: Yanni tion, investment in renewable energy around the world has doubled, tripled, and even quadrupled.

Investment is Australia is down 88 per cent.

These new restrictions on renewable energy could well see investment go into negative number in these industries and jobs of the future.

The rest of the world is on a light speed road map of reducing its dependence on fossil fuels and universities and pension funds are divesting themselves from tens of billions of dollars of fossil fuel investments worldwide.

Throughout the developed world many new home loans are with banks that are free of fossil fuel funds and billions of dollars of loans are being refinanced from fossil fuel friendly banks to fossil fuel free banks.

Utility customers are switching in droves from fossil fuel based utilities to fossil fuel free utilities. Get-Up in its values alignment partnership with Powershop has already converted more than 12,000 people in Victoria from fossil fuel utilities and is now just opening its marketing efforts in NSW. This government continues to support an industry (coal) with its imminent death no longer in doubt with subsidies to the tune of $10 billion a year and has now sunk to the level that it is jeopardising our future ability to feed ourselves.

I only despair when in 2035 and there are no coal jobs that we can adapt to eating cheap coal to survive, as there will be a lot of it available and food will be too expensive having to be imported from other countries.

We had better like our coal cold as we will not be able to cook it as the cost of utilities will be out of reach for the average unemployed Australian.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Down and dusted In 2010 I attended an Australia wide gathering of field naturalist members in Chinchilla, Queensland and one of the places visited was a newly completed coal fired power station. We were not permitted to leave the bus but were shown the main features of the complex, including the conveyor belt which brought the coal to the furnaces.

We were told that of the three dairy farms, A, B, and C side by side, the power company purchased A and C but not B. This dairy farmer discovered that his milk was turned down by the purchaser because his milk was contaminated with coal dust. The power company refused to compensate him, nor prevent the coal dust floating on to his farm.

Farmers in NSW near the proposed Shenaua Coal Mine in the Liverpool Plains will, if this proposal goes ahead, face the same problem.

Australia urgently needs a Minister for the Environment, not against it. We also need to insist on a bond from any future such proposal based on the economic value of the land as a food producer for, say a 1000 years. This bond would pay to return the country to its original fertility should the mining company not do so, or goes bankrupt. Naturally, the bond would have to be in trillions of dollars.

Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Sign of injury In January 2010 I received neck and back injuries following a collision between a bus and a car where Mark St, Rosebud enters Kennington Rd. I believe proper signs would have prevented this. I find it hard to accept after all this time that nothing has been done, as this incident destroyed my quality of life.

Keith Bartlett, Rosebud South

Truly inspirational All in all I was totally blown away by the people from all over the Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne and in fact as far as NSW who attended my book launch in Hastings last month (‘Taking control of life for the better’, The News 2/6/15).

There were well over 100 guests with some spilling out on to the street. Thanks to Natalie Petersen and her staff at Petersens Bookstore.

The event was made possible by creating a safe and supportive space.

a clear one for women experiencing or having experienced adversity such as family violence: they can get out and come out on top.

They do not deserve to be mistreated and our children must be shown it is not the way to live.

People like Rosie Batty and everyone in our community are all just drops in the ocean, but if we all pull together to shine a light on this, we can create a ripple effect and move towards peaceful and respectful communities.

It is my mission, through my book, to be the voice for those women who have lost theirs, to take back the control of their lives again, and to make a stand against this global epidemic.

Ruth Cyster-Stuettgen, Ferntree Gully

Offer support This year, over three million Australians will experience depression or anxiety or both. Today, seven Australians will die by suicide.

It may be someone in your family, a person you work with or a mate on your footy team.

You may have noticed something is amiss, but you’re not sure if you should say something or mind your business.

Many people don’t know what to say or worry they could make the situation worse by approaching the person. However, reaching out to someone you’re worried about is often the catalyst for that person starting on the road to recovery.

To help people to have what could be a difficult chat, beyondblue has produced a guide on how to Have the Conversation. The guide, which was funded with donations from the Movember Foundation, explains how having a conversation can help people feel less alone and more supported in getting help for anxiety and depression, and what to do if your attempt to have the conversation is met with a bad reaction.

If you are struggling a bit but don’t know how to reach out for support, or you’re concerned about someone else but don’t know what to say, visit www.beyondblue.org.au/conversations You can speak to a mental health professional any time, day or night, by contacting beyondblue’s support service on 1300 22 4636.

Georgie Harman, CEO beyondblue

Safety on the farm It is a well-known fact that agriculture is a highrisk profession. What is less well known is that farmers are far more likely to die at work than workers in any other industry.

Despite agriculture employing less than three per cent of Victorian workers, 28 per cent of all workplace deaths in the past five years have been on farms.

It is more experienced farmers who are over-represented in farming deaths each year.

Because the great enemy of experience is complacency.

Machinery must be well maintained and used for the right purpose. Quad bikes need to be operated within their limits. Children and visitors, who are also dying on Victoria’s farms, need to be kept away from work areas.

WorkSafe runs farm safety educational campaigns, attends field days, and conducts onfarm inspections. But the power to reduce the death toll on Victorian farms lies with farmers themselves.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Brass band trombone player killed in action Compiled by Melissa Walsh MR S. S. Price, dentist, will visit Frankston this week end, July 25th. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston Fire Brigade, it was resolved to donate £5 towards the Country Fire Brigade Ambulance Fund. *** THE following is the result of the Art Union, drawn at Cranbourne on July 15th, in aid of the Cranbourne Belgian Relief Fund :—First prize, No 773 ; second, 686; third, 877 : fourth, 798 ; fifth, 47 ; sixth, 739. *** A prominent store, at Somerville, is being repainted. It has had a large sign with “Shell spirit for motors” upon it.

A waggish painter daubed out the first S. The result was a capital advertisement, which however shocked the unco guid. *** THE Frankston Red Cross Society notify in our advertising columns that they require old linen, calico, muslin, flannelette etc., in any quantity, and would be obliged if the donors would send or bring same to the depot. Mechanics’ Hall, on Tuesday, next at 8 o’clock. *** A good evenings amusement is assured to those who attend the Mechanics’ Hall on Friday evening next, the occasion being an entertainment given by the Somerville school children under the direction of their teacher (Mr Reed), in aid of the funds of the

Frankston Red Cross Society. *** IN another column, Mr Oscar Bailey announces that he intends to come forward as a candidate for a seat in the Council for the North Riding of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, and intends to address the electors in the local hall at an early date, on his opinions of Shire matters. *** THE young ladies of the Frankston Methodist Church are inviting the public to a social in the School Room on Wednesday evening next, the proceeds of which are intended to go towards defraying the debt existing on the Church organ. A good programme is being arranged and a pleasant evening’s entertainment is assured. *** OUR readers are reminded of Messrs Brody and Mason’s extensive sale at “Cricklewood,” on Wednesday next, on account of Mr G. Booth, who has leased his farm. Owing to the large number of articles to be disposed of the sale will commence at one o’clock sharp. A full list appears in our advertising column. *** THE following are the results of the football matches played on the Peninsula last Saturday .—Somerville, 13 goals 15 behinds beat Frankston, 5 goals 7 behinds; Hastings, 3 goals 14 behinds beat Tyabb, 3 goals ; Naval Base, 7 goals 7 behinds beat Langwarrin, 7 goals 6 behinds ; Mornington, 18 goals 3 behinds beat Dromana, 5 goals 8 behinds.

*** BY the steamer Kyarra, which arrived from the front early in the week, three of the men who enlisted from Frankston, returned invalided. We refer to Sergeant Malcolm, Private Connall and Private Leo Gabriel, who were attacked with appendicitis, and had to be operated upon. We offer them our sincere sympathy, and trust that they will completely recover before long, and be able to rejoin their comrades in the fighting line, which, we understand they are only too anxious to do. *** NILKA will not, we hear, be a starter in the Australian Steeple chase to be run at Caulfield this month. Nilka was allotted 10st 2lbs in the event, whilst Zephuron (who has been moving very tenderly on the tracks flats) was not entered. Zephuron will be a starter in the Adelaide Grand National Steeplechase in August, a race the chestnut was sent over to Adelaide for last year, but had the misfortune to be kicked by a stable mate before the race, and in consequence did not face the starter. *** WE again call the attention to an advertisement in another column stating that Colonel Marshall, Chief of the Country Fire Brigade will deliver a lecture on the war, at the Mechanics’ Institute, Frankston, on Monday evening next. The lecture will be particularly interesting in that Colonel Marshall has travelled through many of the countries in which the War is being carried on, and so will bring to bear

that personal knowledge which will enhance to a great degree the value of his lecture. The admission is free but a retiring collection will be made in aid of the funds of the Frankston Branch of the Red Cross Society and for the sick and wounded Australian soldiers.

The Frankston Brass Band has kindly consented to play selections during the evening. It is hoped that the public will attend in such numbers as to provide a crowded house for the Colonel to address. *** AUSTRALIA day (30th July), will be celebrated at Mornington Junction by a grand bazaar and sale of gifts, the proceeds to be devoted to the Red Cross and Belgian Fund. The Presbyterian church has been kindly lent for the occasion and the opening ceremony will be at 3pm, by A. Downward, Esq., M.L.A. The committee have been hard at work for some time getting ready for the fray, and have got together useful and ornamental articles, which will be offered to the public at reasonable prices. As the profits are to be devoted to the help of our soldiers and the Belgians, the response, no doubt, will be a liberal one. *** THE Frankston Brass Band is suffering from the prevailing epidemic of enlistment that is prevalent right through Australia, no fewer than 10 of its members having enlisted to help their comrades in upholding the honour of Australia. We regret to have to announce the death of one of their members in the person of Gunner D.

C. Raulke, of the 4th Battery, 2nd Field Artillery, 1st Aust. Imperial Expeditionary Force, who was killed in action on 7th May. The deceased was one of the most valued members of the band, being an expert trombone player, and a general favourite with all. Deep regret was felt at his untimely loss, though it was tempered by the fact that he died in the defence of his country, and sincere sympathy is expressed for his surviving relatives. *** IN Monday’s ‘Argus’ appeared a drawing of a life and death struggle between an Australian (J. J. Munday) and a Turk, on the top of a cliff, at Sari Bair. Munday tried to thrust the Turk over, but the latter clung to him and both went clattering down into the sea.

There the Australian got the better of his man and held him under the water until he was drowned. Jim Munday will be well remembered by our readers, for the past five years he has visited Frankston and played football with the Bull and Bush Camp team, which annually plays a match at Frankston, and at the concert, organized by Mr Jolly, on the evening of the match, Mr Munday delighted the audience with his singing. Mr Munday also played two matches with the Frankston team, when the local team was in the Federal Competition.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

I fought the lawn (and the lawn won)

By Stuart McCullough IT’S on. The battle lines have not so much be drawn as they have sprung up, as one of the oldest rivalries to plague this big old round Earth of ours reignites. Conflict on so vast a scale cannot help but shape the course of human history. There will be casualties, without doubt, but ultimately good will prevail over evil. I speak, of course, of mankind versus nature.

By that I don’t mean some kind of fauna-troubling Bear Grylls-style gastronomic assault. Rather, I’m talking about one man’s heroic battle against his lawn.

I had no idea it would be like this.

For years, I had led a blissfully ignorant existence in apartments where the closest I got to a garden was a bowl of salad. Say what you want about salad, but it doesn’t require major machinery to keep it in check. That all changed when we departed the inner city hipster-haven that is Elwood for Ormond.

When I first saw the lawn in the back yard, I made the fatal mistake of thinking we’d be friends. It never occurred to me that it might rebel.

I’ve never paid much attention to band names: they’re all almost always ridiculous. Cold Chisel, Sex Pistols, The Bonzo Dog Band; each of them makes no sense on their own. For years I had assumed that the name ‘Savage Garden’ was yet another case of a couple of words slapped together without any particular rhyme or reason. A marriage of convenience if you will, not unlike the band itself. But now I know better. In recent weeks I have discovered that there truly is such a thing as a savage garden, and it’s right outside

PAGE 34

Western Port News 21 July 2015

my lounge room window.

The lawn at our house is kind of like a Tale of Two Cities. The front seems never to change. Like Oscar Wilde’s Dorian Gray, I am beginning to suspect there’s an ageing portrait of our front garden in an attic somewhere.

The grass never seems to grow and it always looks as though it was cut just last week. There was a moment when I began to suspect that it may not be real at all; that we had inadvertently moved into a house that had the astro turf the Brady Bunch rejected as its welcome

mat. But after sending a sample down to the lab, I confirmed its organic providence. It’s real, it’s just exceptionally well behaved; something I tell it on a regular basis to reinforce its good conduct.

However, in a tale of two cities, there is always the matter of the second city.

Just as the front lawn represents London, the back lawn is undoubtedly Parisian, complete with the distinct whiff of revolution in the air. Trying to keep it under control is a task on par with painting the Sydney Harbour Bridge: you finally get to the end and it’s time to start over. It appears to be growing at an incredible rate. I strongly suspect that it’s using some kind of performance enhancing drug and I have started random testing but, to date, it’s managed to evade detection.

It’s often said that something is as dull as watching grass grow, but these people have never sat on our back verandah. Let me put it this way: the front of our place is Bill Bixby, while the back is the Incredible Hulk. You can return from making a cup of tea and feel decidedly shorter; such is the speed at which the grass has grown.

Worse still, the growth is horribly uneven, with pronounced patches of accelerated development that completely betrays where the previous occupants buried the family pets. The entire situation feels mutinous. It’s a state of affairs that cannot be accepted without a fight.

I have mown lawns before. At Tyabb, my father fenced off a vast area and declared that this substantial piece of acreage, the size of which would overshadow several of the smaller

European nations, was the front lawn.

My siblings and I would take turns in mowing this vast area astride a rideon lawnmower. I did some of my best daydreaming as I drove that thing up and down rolling hills, shredding into oblivion any stray tennis ball that’d been left lying idly about. But a rideon lawn mower makes a lot of sense when you’re trying to trim an area the size of Tasmania. It’s harder to justify when the yard is so small, you’d be lucky if you could perform a u-turn.

That’s why we went with something more modest.

Mowing is a task that demands special clothes. In my case, it’s a pair of gumboots, khaki pants and an ostentatious straw hat. It’s makes me look like a Broadway hobo. After pulling the ripcord and one of the muscles in my shoulder, the machine burst into life in a puff of smoke. As I cut a swathe through the lawn, I turned and was confronted by a trail of cut grass.

I had never felt so… masculine. Duty done, I returned the apparatus to the shed only to emerge to find the lawn was, once more, in an unruly state.

Much like Robert Patrick in Terminator 2, it had healed itself. Retreating to the couch, my mood would best be described as ‘forlorn for lawn’. I have always resisted savage garden, both musically and horticulturally. But it was no time for giving up; I vowed to redouble my efforts. For I am the king of the back yard, Lawn of the Rings.

As you are my witnesses, my yard will be perfect. Starting next week.

Weather and motivation permitting, of course. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Hillmen out of top bracket NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RED Hill has been knocked out of the top five after going down to Rye on Saturday.

The Hillmen were blown away in the third quarter by a much-improved Rye outfit and were never able to recover, going down 16.4 (100) to 11.10 (76).

Red Hill’s place in the top bracket has been snatched by Sorrento, who led all day to beat top of the table Rosebud.

Rye’s three big guns in Nathan Henley, Kris Bardon and Ryan Mullett were superb for the Demons on Saturday, responding to criticism that they, along with some of their teammates, were ‘downhill skiers’.

Henley was judged best afield with 22 possessions and two goals, while Bardon had 26 touches and Mullett had 28.

Whilst Mullett had more touches (38) against Somerville two weeks ago, his efficiency with the pill on Saturday far outweighed his previous effort.

PAGE 36

Andrew Dean was outstanding for the Demons too with four goals while Adrian Gileno and Ben Holmes each contributed three majors.

Rye had 56 inside 50 entries to Red Hill’s 40, while they also had plus-10 clearances.

Red Hill’s Harry Larwill booted four goals in the opening half and looked extremely dangerous. He was the Hillmen’s only productive forward and looked as though he would kick a big bag.

However, Rye’s brainstrust placed Adam Kirkwood onto Larwill after half time and he failed to contribute to the scoreboard again.

Michael Dillon, Jake Mitchell and Ben Macguiness were Red Hill’s best players while Nick Bateman and Seamus Thompson worked tirelessly.

Daniel Schwind certainly looked to enjoy his time in the ruck for the Demons, competing very well in the contests and around the ground. With Rhett Sutton looking out of sorts in the reserves, Schwind could be the right option until Sutton is ready.

Western Port News 21 July 2015

Sorrento once again flexed its muscles and reminded everyone that it is well and truly in the premiership hunt after defeating Rosebud by 24 points, 16.4 (100) to 11.10 (76).

The Sharks got their noses in front early in the clash and were able to maintain that slight buffer in the first half.

The visitors opened-up the contest in the third quarter, booting 5.1 to 1.3 to blow the margin out to a match winning 31 points.

Leigh Poholke was sensational for the winners with seven goals, while Miles Pitt was also dangerous in attack with four majors.

Leigh Treeby, James Hallahan and Tyrren Head continued their outstanding form and Jamus Campbell played his second strong game in as many outings.

Tom Baker was sensational for the Buds with six goals while Daniel Wilson and Glenn Peterson, two unsung consistent performers at the Buds, were at the top of their game.

Hastings regained some much need-

ed good form on Saturday, restricting Pearcedale to just two goals while having 32 scoring shots themselves.

The Panthers were held goalless after quarter time, despite the outstanding performances from brothers Joel and Mitchell White.

Paul Rogasch dominated for the Blues while Dan Noble and Luke Clark booted five and three goals respectively.

Steve Charalambous returned for the Blues also and dominated.

Crib Point enjoyed a rare win this season, dominating against Dromana to win 11.17 (83) to 3.17 (35).

Dean Warry booted five goals while James Cook and Brad Davidson were in vintage form.

The Tigers were disappointing. The wheels have totally fallen off this side that was playing with enormous grit and spirit at the beginning of the season.

Only Terry Wheeler, Matt Jones and Billy Quigley were named in their best.

Frankston Bombers had 11 goal kickers in their 23.23 (161) to 7.9 (51)

win against Tyabb.

James Orr dominated in the ruck and Tony Fulton had a heap of it while Andrew White and Jake and Scott Foster booted four goals each.

Jackson Cox, Darcy Underwood and Scott Pickersgill were the best of the Yabbies.

Somerville had to work hard to beat a plucky Devon Meadows by 28 points.

It wasn’t until the last quarter that the Eagles were able to shake the opposition, booting four goals to two to win 11.11 (77) to 7.7 (49).

Luke Collie and Justin Allsop were superb for the winners while Billy Rolfe returned to the line-up and dominated.

Glen Michie kicked four goals for the Meadows while Pat Harmes and Jesse Dehey again showed their class.

There’s a lot to get excited about if you’re a Devon Meadows supporter.

Eagles swoop on Pythons to stay in flag race PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt E D I T H VA L E - A S P E N D A L E proved that it cannot be discounted in the race for the Peninsula League premiership after thrashing Pines by 72 points in Saturday.

The Eagles were relentless from the first bounce, opening-up a three goal break at quarter time before smashing seven goals to four in the second quarter to open-up a 36-point break.

The home side was unrelenting in the second half also, booting four goals to one in the third and six goals to two in the last, eventually winning 24.11 (155) to 11.17 (83).

You could sense the week before against Langwarrin that the Eagles were building. Their best is certainly very good.

The Eagles certainly stretched Pines defensively with Mark Meehan booting six goals, Jarrod Garth four and Brad Tagg three.

Garth was sensational and dominated all afternoon, while Mark Mullins had a big role to play once again on Guy Hendry and did the job.

Brett O’Hanlon once again showed he is a class above.

Luke Potts was at his finest for Pines and Will Goosey, son of Simon, booted a goal on debut for the Pythons. Aaron Edwards booted three goals.

On a day where they were celebrating the 10-year anniversary of their 2005 premiership, Langwarrin fought hard to get the win against Bonbeach on Saturday.

There was nothing between the

sides all afternoon, however, the Kangas showed some much-needed grit and determination to boot three goals to two in the last and win 13.9 (87) to 12.7 (79).

Dylan Luxa and Rikki Johnston were brilliant for the Kangas for the second week on the trot while Mitch Cuthbert was extremely good on debut.

The Kangas were also strengthened with Andrew Withers, Ethan Rahilly and Liam Hogan in the team.

Owen Hulett was superb for the Sharks with five goals while Dylan Jones was sensational in the ruck.

Whilst it’s highly unlikely that the Kangaroos can make the finals, it’s still mathematically possible.

Frankston YCW kept Karingal goalless on Saturday, restricting the opposition to just three points whilst ramming home 27.20 (182) itself.

David Bodley booted seven and Anthony Bruhn five goals while Scott Macleod was on fire with three majors.

Hadley Tomamichel and Luke Van Raay were the best of the Bulls, along with Dylan Gregson and Bevan Malloy.

Seaford booted seven goals to Chelsea’s two in the opening quarter which started an onslaught that finished at 19.13 (127) to 10.13 (73).

Aaron Walton was the best player on the ground with six goals for the Tigers while Josh Stokes and Matt Herbert also played outstanding games.

Magpies find home form at last CRIB POINT FC

By Jared Newton CRIB POINT ended a four game losing streak to win their first home game for 2015.

Dean Warry’s return to the team was immediately felt as he delivered a five goal haul from full forward as his presence gave another target as the Pies looked solid right from the start to run out winners over Dromana by 48 points.

It wasn’t pretty viewing on the field early on but you take the wins anyway you can when the confidence is down.

Despite the scrappy first half or so, the Pies looked to have some of their

confidence seeping back and thanks to an eight goal to nil second half, Crib Point really started to play footy that resembled some of the form from last season.

Dromana are underdone and missing a few key players themselves but the manner in which Crib Point managed to fight it out and kick away late was a positive after a few bleak games in recent weeks. The 22 on the field can honestly say they all contributed.

Aside from Dean Warry’s 5.6 the other more solid contributors included Brad Arnold and Luke Herrington in the middle and Brad Davidson and Dean Kairies across half back. Matt Sloper also responded to his recent

criticisms with a stellar game at full back.

The reserves won their second consecutive game against fellow strugglers Dromana in a game they possibly should have won by more than 2 points.

The reserves were the better side all day and went into the sheds at the main break with a solid 20-point buffer only to be run down in the second half and have the siren blow just before another late Dromana charge forward.

The reserves certainly got the stink end of the umpiring but to their credit managed to stay relatively calm in the dying minutes to hang on.

The class of star trio of Sam Austin, Lee Koerner and the return of fan favourite David Cook, proved to be the main difference between the two sides in the fiery and spirited affair.

In addition, Jake Condick delivered in his first game as a forward this season with a bag of four after playing every other game at centre half back this season.

In 2015 it’s been the under 19s who have been the pride of Crib Point while the seniors have struggled, however the 19s went down by 23 to a hungry Dromana who needed to win for their own finals aspirations and ran it out like their season was on the line.

FRANKSTON VFL FOOTBALL CLUB

Crib led for most of the day and went into the last break with a slim lead before being overrun with a four goal to nil final term to lose their third game of the year.

There’s no doubt the under 19s will play finals this year. Their grip on the precious double chance is still not assured though.

Sam Cook and Captain Liam O’Connor were best afield for the unders, and Tyler Wilton kicked three.

Hopefully for the boys sake it’s a minor hiccup they can overcome and doesn’t develop into a bigger problem as the boys have still got some big games to play before September action awaits them.

Half way wrap for Nepean and Peninsula leagues PENINSULA LEAGUE

My tip: Preliminary finalist

With just six rounds before the end of the MPNFL Nepean Division season, former Devon Meadows coach and radio RPP commentator Brent Clinnick assesses the chances of the six sides still in the premiership hunt.

Here is Clinnick’s views on the clubs looking to claim the 2015 Premiership.

Somerville FC Up with Rye in terms of best influx of talent during offseason. Must remain focused and worry about the controllable. Beaten quality this year but fadeouts have proved costly at times. Their best is the best going around. Consistently bringing their best is a hurdle. Maturing more every week, must stay together next year. Huge upside, must remain united.

Rosebud FC Impressive. Really starting to come together Loved the balance between attack and defence versus Red Hill Midfield depth is strong, but just how much impact will the Rob Forest injury have? Also the Nick Jewell situation, what effect on the group will it have for the remainder of the year?

My tip: Runners up Hastings FC Liked what I saw early in the season when beating Rye. Word out of Hastings is there is a tremendous spark around the place. Luke Clark is a star, but they get a very even contribution across the board. Dropped their last two against Rosebud and Sorrento. Losses against Somerville, Rosebud and Sorrento begs the question…

Can they match it with the best in the comp? Off field, very well lead by President Phil Stone and his committee. All club success starts at committee level... “Attitude reflects leadership”

My tip: Premiers Rye FC Setting the pace to half way point of season Bold recruiting in the off-season has been a major positive. Re-signing Josh Moore also a great move. Ability to hit scoreboard is a positive, but Rye places a lot of pressure on their forwards to kick a big score, which is a concern. Defensively a major concern. Conceding far too many points to the opposition, this will hurt come finals time. Still a major concern is player development and retention, especially at under 19 level How sustainable is high priced recruiting? These two elements are Coach Josh Moore and Rye’s biggest challenge moving forward.

My tip: Makes finals but is a first week casualty Red Hill FC Best is as good as any but worst is really poor. Must close this gap and find more consistency. Needs to stop opposition momentum quicker. Back to back wins against Devon

and Frankston have them back on track after three consecutive losses. Defensively, fantastic. But unless they kick more goals I can’t see them playing finals footy. United club off field which is a huge positive.

and YCW. Heavy reliance on Justin Van Unen Need to find a way to keep Lockwood deep also Strength is running backs – Booth, Gill, Lombardozzi, D’Orazio Been blessed with injury Need to find a Plan B

My tip: Sixth Sorrento FC When was the last time they lost four games in a Home and Away season? Best is still clearly good enough pushed Rye and Somerville Great recent victory against Hastings. Getting Tapscott, Pitt and ruckman Williams back for the back half of the year is a massive positive. Mattison not far away either. Will the indifferent start ignite the fire in the second half of the season? I’m expecting a strong finish by the champs.

My Tip: Can’t win the flag Mornington FC 9 wins / 2 losses 15.5 For – Rank 4 9.57 Against – Rank 2 Lost to Mt Eliza in Round 4 and Bonbeach three weeks ago Have struggled with injury – no continuity in side Depth has stood up – teenagers have been getting an opportunity Hard to score against, despite playing on a small deck Forward line unsettled Strong position to make a charge at the right time Rumours are rife that things are not rosy at the kennel

My tip: Will finish 4th and advance past Hastings first week of the finals but will be a second week casualty.

My Tip: Will play in the grand final

***

Pines FC 8 wins / 2 losses / 1 draw 15.6 For – Rank 3 13 Agst – Rank 6

PENINSULA LEAGUE THERE are seven rounds left in the MPNFL Peninsula Division season.

In a very tight competition, it appears only the top four sides can win it.

RPP commentator and our very own Toe Punt looks at where the top clubs are at and predicts the final outcome.

Losses have come at the hands of Mornington and YCW Draw against Bonbeach Good is amongst the best in the competition Have big weapons in Hendry brothers, Beau & Guy, Potts and Edwards Game plan that all have brought into and executing most of the time Need to beat either Mornington

Mt Eliza FC 9 wins / 2 losses 16.8 For – Rank 2 9.75 Against – Rank 3 Lost two in three weeks to Pines

or YCW on the way home to be considered a genuine threat My Tip: goes into second week of finals YCW FC 7 wins / 3 losses 19.15 For – Rank 1 9 Agst – Rank 1  The yardstick of the competition  Collins, Barry, Eames all back for the second half. Ricky Morris the only one not available from best 22 at this stage.  Great blend of youth and experience.  Good body sizes accross the team  Still best defence and attack in the game, despite the losses.  Hope they have been working on a Plan B also. Almost cost them a premiership. Langwarrin brained them in that shock loss.

My Tip: Premiers Edi-Asp FC 5 wins / 4 losses / 1 draw 15 For – Rank 5 13 Agst – Rank 5  Hasn’t beaten a side above it.

Drew with Langwarrin after looking gone.  On paper, is better than five wins  Debuting a heap of kids, which is superb for the future.  A-grade talent is good – Garth, O’Hanlon, Clark, Tim & Steve Mannix, Tagg  Future is very, very bright  Deserves to be fifth but won’t progress into the second week My Tip: Loses to Pines in Elimination Final

Blues back on the winners list HASTINGS FNC

By Phil Stone, club president THIS week sees Hastings Blues head to Jones Rd, Somerville in a massive clash for both clubs.

This will be a great clash between two neighbours for the right to tie up a top three place.

The club looks forward to the challenge this represents. Let’s make sure we get a big sea of blue to this clash to support the players in all games.

Seniors Report It was important to get back on the winners list and we did. We started off well and the first 15 of the first quarter was great, but we let Pearcedale kick two late goals in the first. Our second quarter was very scrappy and we did kick a goal but we kicked five behinds. Our second half was much better and we ran away with the game. It wasn’t the prettiest game but we did keep them goalless for the last three quarters and that is a fantastic effort by any team. Well done to all the boys it was four points that we needed and now

we have a big test next week in Somerville who are the form side. 8-3 to start the year is a great start and now we owe it to each other to finish the year off well.

Jason Kestle took some fantastic pack marks and kick three goals for the quarter to go into the half time break with a couple goal lead. Into the third quarter the boys were urged to play a more direct game of football because we were tired from some boys already playing in the under 19s, Richie was in everything and really gave us something around the packs with his speed. Into the last quarter it was just going to be a grind with both sides tired but we managed to hold Pearcedale off, to have a great win. Better players J.Kestle , R.Vandenham ,

Reserves Report Today we faced Pearcedale at home in a game that we needed to win to stay in the top bracket.

Motoring World premiere for seven-seat Toyota Fortuner TOYOTA has staged the simultaneous global reveal of a new seven-seat family SUV that will arrive in its Australian dealer showrooms towards the end of October.

Known as Fortuner, the new SUV will expand Toyota’s market-leading SUV line-up to six vehicles - joining RAV4, Kluger, FJ Cruiser, LandCruiser Prado and LandCruiser 200 Series.

Toyota Australia’s executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said the world premiere, staged simultaneously in Australia and Thailand, heralds a stylish and refined vehicle that is remarkably tough and offers genuine 4WD ability.

“Fortuner’s strength and refinement ensures it is equally at home on the school run as on the toughest off-road trails found in Australia,” Mr Cramb said.

“Fortuner shares the rugged underpinnings of the ‘unbreakable’ HiLux, allowing owners to travel to - and return from - places many other SUVs simply can’t go.

“At the same time, Fortuner’s unique design suits the advanced tastes of modern SUV buyers while being equipped with a comprehensive list of features appreciated by families and business owners.

“Fortuner provides a diesel alternative to the petrol-only Kluger range as the new entry point for customers

looking to purchase a large Toyota diesel SUV.” Toyota sells more SUVs in Australia than any other brand, having delivered more than 50,000 in each of the past three years. No other company has sold 40,000 SUVs in a single year.

Fortuner will be offered in Australia in three grades - GX, GXL and Crusade - all powered by Toyota’s new 2.8-litre direct-injection four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine that develops up to 450Nm of torque.

A new six-speed manual gearbox includes ‘intelligent’ technology on GXL and Crusade grades to ensure smoother shifting by matching engine speed to transmission speed. A newly developed six-speed automatic transmission is also available.

All variants are fitted with trailer sway control, which is designed to assist if a towed vehicle becomes unsettled by crosswinds, bumpy roads or sharp turns of the steering wheel.

Maximum braked towing capacity will be three tonnes for the manual and 2.8 tonnes for the auto.

A part-time 4x4 during day-to-day driving, owners can turn a dial to access Fortuner’s impressive fourwheel-drive ability in high or low range.
