Plans for our future

ZOE Mitchell was one of the few girls playing junior footy on Saturday, but her value to the Hastings team did not go unnoticed as she tackled Tyabb’s Kyall Goding. It’s not uncommon for girls to be on the footy field with the boys, but all that ends after the under14s, when the girls must play competitive footy in an all girls team. Mixed teams fielded by local leagues across Victoria are designed as a transition into AFL Victoria’s Youth Girls program, which caters for girls aged 13-18. The match on Saturday saw Tyabb 13.11-89 triumph over Hastings 8.2-50. Picture: Andrew Hurst

19 June – 25 June 2012

By Mike Hast HOW the Mornington Peninsula changes over the next 30 years will be decided by residents, the shire council and the state government in the next 12 months. The process starts next week with the first of 15 “Plan Peninsula Conversations”, as named by Mornington Peninsula Shire. Residents will be asked their opinion about the future look and role of the peninsula for a shire report due to go to the state government before the end of September when the council goes into “caretaker” mode 32 days before the 27 October election. From this will come the government’s “Mornington Peninsula Planning Statement”, promised by the peninsula’s three state Liberal MPs – Neale Burgess (Hastings), Martin Dixon (Nepean) and David Morris (Mornington) – before the 2010 state election. The statement will separate the peninsula’s planning scheme from the metropolitan Melbourne planning scheme, a long-term ambition of many residents. The Bracks Labor government introduced Melbourne 2030 in the early 2000s to stop Melbourne’s urban sprawl and squeeze an extra million residents into its existing boundaries. (The urban growth boundary has been moved four times since 2002, three times by the previous Labor government and last week by the Baillieu government when it released 6000 hectares.) The concept of Melbourne planning rules applying to the peninsula has always met with stiff resistance. Planning Minister Rob Hulls, a peninsula boy, was strongly criticised in 2006 when he told a meeting in Mornington that the peninsula was the same as Melbourne and its planning decision would be made under Melbourne 2030. Prior to 1987, the Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Ranges and Macedon Ranges were protected by “statements of planning policy” supported by legislation. This was undone when the Planning and Environment Act replaced the Town and Country Planning Act. For a decade, in many suburbs as well as on the peninsula, residents have complained about the impact of Melbourne 2030 and the role of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in approving developments after they had been rejected by councils.

Rain dampens reservoir work By Keith Platt DEVILBEND Natural Features Reserve has been closed to the public. The closure follows heavy rains that are being blamed for delaying the $1.6 million works on building new facilities for picnics, sightseeing and fishing. Parks Victoria chief ranger Libby Jude said wet weather was one of the many challenges when building a park. “We’ve had reservoir water levels up to 68.15 metres with many parts of the park still extremely wet,” Ms Jude said. “We’ve now closed the park entirely and will keep it closed in the interests of public safety while construction takes place.” Ms Jude said works would resume after the park had a chance to dry. She remained hopeful that the park would reopen in spring “weather depending”. “As anyone working in constructions knows, the one thing you can’t control is weather. “We’re looking forward to a few dry days and progressing the works for this great new asset on the Mornington Peninsula.” Ms Jude said the first stage of construction had been running ahead of schedule before the rains hit.

She said the depth of water in the reservoir was “in pretty good shape”. Devilbend was decommissioned as a source of domestic water after algal blooms and health fears and Melbourne Water said it would be surplus to its needs once the peninsula was connected to Melbourne’s water supply. The water is now deeper than predicted some years ago when Mel-

bourne Water proposed subdividing and selling parcels of land now included in the 1000-hectare park. When used to provide domestic supplies, Devilbend was supplemented by water pumped from the Tarago Reservoir near Neerim South. However, levels appear to have exceeded expectations despite the cutting of supplies from Tarago. Ms Jude said the present high levels

Brighten winter with native birds WINTER may have arrived, but Backyard Buddies says this is no reason to let drab weather get you down or stop enjoyment of the great outdoors. Add a bit of colour to your life this cold season by encouraging native birds to visit your garden. Backyard Buddies is a free program run by the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife. “There are a lot of simple things you can do to turn your backyard into a thriving environment that provides food and shelter for native birds,” foundation CEO Susanna Bradshaw said. To encourage birds to the garden:  Provide a bird bath or container of water for birds to drink, bathe and play in. Keep it clean and the water fresh.  Place the bird bath near dense shrubs so that birds have somewhere nearby to hide if a cat or other predator appears.  Keep cats indoors or install a cat run so cats can go outside without harming birds.  Avoid using pesticides or chemicals, as a bird that eats a contaminated insect could become sick or die.  Ask for local native eucalypts, melaleucas, grevilleas or banksias at the nursery and plant them in the garden to provide food and shelter for native birds.  Include plants of different heights and densities in the garden to encourage different kinds of birds. Small birds like finches, for instance, prefer densely planted, spiky shrubs and understory plants to hide in. “Winter is a great time to plant natives in your garden,” Ms Bradshaw said. “Planting now will give native plants a chance to establish themselves before summer rolls around with its predominantly dry, hot days. “It will help ensure that your natives will survive the warmer months. “Some grevilleas and banksias also flower during winter, which will add colour to the garden during the cold season as well as attract birds.

Winter calls: Little friarbirds. Picture: Michael Jefferies

“Watching native birds in your garden can be immensely enjoyable. Their antics are fun to observe and their calls are often entertaining. “Some birds will hide up in the tree branches and you will only be able to hear them. It’s half the fun trying to work out what birds you’ve got, based on the calls. “By providing a safe habitat for birds in your garden, you may even get to see them nest and raise their chicks.”

Art attack on graffiti ARTIST Tony Sowersby has been brought in to help lessen the amount of graffiti being daubed around Somerville Secondary College. Mr Sowersby will be the linchpin for students involved in creating “community artwork� at the college. The artwork themes are landscape pre-European settlement and animals, including kangaroos, bandicoots, magpies, ibis, snake, frogs and native flora. The work, the Big Back Yard Project, is being conducted in partnership with the Department of Justice and Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Communities That Care (CTC). The project is described by the shire as a “community-based arts program to discourage graffiti and tagging, to improve the school’s appearance, build better relations with surrounding neighbours, to highlight the value of Artistic merit: Ready for the Big Back Yard Project at Somerville Secondary College are Catherine May, principal Chris Lloyd, Cr Lynn Bowden and students Nic Anderson, Lauren Larsen, Rebekah Hanley, Luke Cheasley, Mackenzie Henderson, Curtis Pavey, Jordan Hoffman, Nathyn van Straaten, Ebony Gruar, and Nadia Halip (Monash), Sarah Lombard (Monash) and Liz Tomazic, from Communities That Care.

young people and to promote positive social action within the broader community�. Cr Lynn Bowden said the work by students and Mr Sowersby “endeavours to give ownership and respect of this space back to the local community�. “The art project encourages interaction between young people and their broader local communities and provides an alternative to graffiti,� she said. The students could develop their artistic skills and self-image. “The students have been very enthusiastic for the opportunity to see how an artist approaches this type of work and knowing their contribution to improving the school’s landscape has inspired a huge commitment across the whole school,� Cr Bowden said. Tagging of the school’s internal fences provided a catalyst for the project, which led to a “youth engagement session� with CTC that identified the need to improve the look and feel of the school grounds. A similar program is planned at Mt Eliza later this year. The Big Back Yard Project is financed by the Department of Justice – Graffiti Prevention and Removal Grants Program.

Measuring up: Weight loss challenge participants facing the deciding weigh-in are, from left, Jeanette, Kay, Keira, Jean, Fiona, Trudi, Jan, Teresa, Marie and Caroline.

Program’s loss is a win FOURTEEN participants in a Hastings weight loss program have lost almost 60 kilograms between them in the past three months. “It was immensely exciting for all and it was quite emotional for many,” their coach Fiona Lindsay said. Ms Lindsay said the group was aged from 14 to late 60s, with one woman losing 9.1 per cent of her body weight. Cash prizes were given to the three “biggest losers”. Describing her Saturday afternoon classes at the Hastings Community Hub as “educational in nature”, Ms Lindsay said she taught “secrets to permanent weight loss” and “sustainable lifestyle changes – not about dieting”. Her measure of success came with last Saturday’s weigh-in and measurement, which showed one woman had lost a total 76 centimetres from her upper chest, chest, waist, hips, right leg, left leg, right arm and left arm. “This is the very first program of its type to be conducted in Victoria after great success in both NSW and New Zealand,” she said. “Strong interest in our program has already lead to a second challenge being hosted in Hastings starting in July, with another scheduled for 30 June and will be held at the David Collings Centre in Mornington and two in late in July in Mt Martha.” Ms Lindsay said classes cost $6-$8 “per class, which makes it very affordable”. “With both heart disease and diabetes now officially considered at epidemic levels here in Australia, we feel confident in the knowledge we are imparting important information to keep our participants healthier for longer and we are committed to getting our message to as many as possible.” To find out more about weight loss classes call Ms Lindsay on 5904 4006.

Future plan

Continued from Page 1 On Monday, David Morris told The News the planning statement for the peninsula was to “differentiate it from metropolitan Melbourne”. He said the Mornington Peninsula’s Municipal Strategic Statement was supposed to have the same weight as state government planning policy, but the VCAT sometimes put more emphasis on government policy. “We want to put in place an agreed statement that brings the two together. This will mean Main St, Mornington, is not treated in the same way as Church St, Richmond.” Asked about the need for affordable housing, Mr Morris said he was comfortable with the location of the urban growth boundary (UGB) on the peninsula, but cheaper housing “should be considered as part of the review”. “Governments periodically offer the option of moving the UGB, but the boundary for Mt Eliza, Mornington and Mt Martha hasn’t changed since 1979.” For Western Port residents, there will be meetings in Somerville, Hastings, Flinders and Balnarring. For details of the meeting, call the shire on 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000, email planpeninsula@mornpen.vic. gov.au or visit the shire’s website at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au

New laws designed to lop drink, smoke and hedges By Keith Platt HEDGES no higher than 1.5 metres, bans on backyard burning and tight restrictions on drinking in streets and on beaches are all included in Mornington Peninsula Shire’s new local laws. Many of the proposed restrictions already apply, but are coming up for review as the shire proposes merging its current six local laws into three. The mayor Cr Frank Martin said the changes were aimed at achieving “best practice” in local laws that “are consistent with state or federal laws and achieve desired policy outcomes”. The timetable drawn up for public consultation before they are adopted by council is also designed for the local laws to be bedded down before the 27 October municipal elections. However, despite the mayor’s assurances, the appropriateness of the liquor laws has already been openly questioned by Cr Graham Pittock. A former mayor, Cr Pittock believes local laws banning alcohol are harsh and unnecessary. He says police have enough powers to combat drunks and offensive behaviour and do not require local laws that will not even be enforced by council rangers. The three proposed local laws are the Consumption of Liquor Local

Law, General Purposes Local Law and Meetings Procedures and Common Seal Local Law. Council’s news release list “key proposals” as being: Restrictions to open air burning based on land size. Limiting hedge height to maintain unique views. “The new laws are simpler and easy to understand, take a more modern approach to law-making, use plain English and aim for transparency and consistency. The new laws aim to achieve public health and safety and retain our pleasant community outlook,” Cr Martin said. He said changes to the open air burning law were based on land size and “meet the community’s need to reduce the threat of fire and the negative health impact of smoke emissions in our townships”. Changes proposed to burning regulations include restricting open-air burning on land less than 2000 square metres – “apart from exceptional circumstances, which would require a permit”. Under the proposed law, open-air burning is permitted on land between 2000 and 40,000 square metres providing landowners have “due regard” for the size of the fire; it is between 9am

Local laws talk COMMUNITY forums to discuss Mornington Peninsula Shire’s proposed three new local laws will be held: At Mornington council offices, Queen St, 5-7pm on Tuesday 26 June. At Rosebud council offices, Besgrove St, 5-7pm Thursday, 5 July.

and 4pm on a Friday or Saturday; and the distance from neighbouring dwellings is at least 50 metres. Open-air burning would also be allowed on properties of more than 40,000 square metres provided the fire was not within 200 metres of a neighbouring dwelling. Use of a fire for cooking food would be exempted. However, offenders will be fined $2500 for burning waste in an incinerator or the open air. Those on properties of less than 2000 square metres must find some other way of disposing of grass, leaves and branches. The shire charges a fee for its green waste collection service and supplies

three “free” tip tickets with rate notices. Cr Martin said changes to the General Purposes Local Law included controls for trees and plantations to regulate “unique views and landscapes” by limiting new hedges to a height of no more than 1.5 metres; farm wind breaks would be limited to 3.6 metres. The local laws cover many activities and parts of daily life, including fines of up to $2500 for misuse of rubbish bins or failing to destroy nests of English or European wasps to $1250 for not picking up dog poo or making audio or video recordings of council committee meetings. A $2500 penalty will apply if the occupier of a property does not “immediately notify the council in writing if his or her approved garbage bin develops a defect, is destroyed or damaged, or is lost or stolen”. For details go to www.mornpen.vic. gov.au Written submissions about the proposed local laws must be received on or before Tuesday 24 July at council offices at Hastings, Mornington or Rosebud or mailed to the Chief Executive Officer, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Private Bag 1000, Rosebud 3939 or email to: locallawsreview@ mornpen.vic.gov.au

Knitters stitch up winter BLANKET appeal organisers are hoping the clickety-clack heard by rail commuters will be an indicator of knitters at work rather than steel wheels. Knitters are being urged to stitch up a warmer winter for needy Mornington Peninsula residents following a doubling of calls for assistance to welfare agencies in the past 12 months. This year the Southern Peninsula Food For All Winter Blanket Appeal is being helped along by Carrum Downs Community Bank to provide blankets, rugs and comforters for needy families, elderly and homeless. “With increasing costs for utilities and food, more people are finding if difficult to make ends meet,” Southern Peninsula Food For All chairman Ken Northwood said. “We have had a rise in the requests for emergency assistance but at the same time there has been a decline in donations.” Southern Peninsula Food For All has been providing assistance to people in need since 1991 including food parcels, Christmas hampers and blankets. The community bank hopes to supply 150 blankets to the appeal. “We are calling on an army of knitters to use their skills to help people in need this winter,” bank chairman Greg Sugars said. “We will lend support by donating $6000 worth of wool.” He said squares knitted with the donated wool could be sewn together to make blankets, which can be left at Bendigo Bank branches in Carrum Downs, Frankston and the peninsula.

OBITUARY

Death of Flinders stalwart business

We see the big picture

OBITUARY

ACCORDING to the old-timers in Flinders, you were not considered a local unless you attended Flinders State School. Brian Sanford, who died on 27 May at age 78, was one of the few remaining true locals. Mr Sanford attended Flinders State School and graduated (eighth year certificate) in December 1947 – nine months after his mother died, no mean feat considering his father had left the family a number of years before. After graduating, he went to Melbourne to find work. He returned to Flinders to live on a property in Baldrys Rd owned by his second cousin, Frank Ellis, in May 1964 with his wife Rose and four children: Patricia, Gary, Valma and Wayne. He then purchased the property and remained there until his death. His ties to Flinders go back to 1846 when his great-grandfather Henry Tuck settled in the village. In 1839 Henry and Catherine Tuck settled in Melbourne. He was engaged in sawing red gum in what are now the streets of Melbourne. In 1844 he entered the service of Captain Reid who had a station near Mt Martha and was subsequently engaged by Mr McCrae who had taken up a run at Arthurs Seat. He was later employed by John Barker, clerk of the Legislative Council of Cape Schanck Station, for many years. In 1846 Henry Tuck took up a run at Black Head, as the township of Flinders was then known, which was Manton’s Creek Station, the estimated area being 6400 acres. In 1852 Henry tried his luck on the Bendigo diggings and after some success, brought a preemptive right on his old run at Flinders. When the property was divided he secured what he could of it, the whole amounting to 995 acres. Henry had nine children. About three years before his death with his health failing, he sold a portion of his land, retaining 40 acres. Henry died on St Patrick’s Day, 17 March 1890, leaving a wife and seven chil-

dren (four sons), two having died earlier. John retained the 40 acres. The rest of the land had been previously divided between the other three sons – Thomas, Samuel and Henry – on which Henry had also helped to build their homes. Thomas Tuck (Brian’s grandfather) was the third child of Henry and Catherine Tuck. Thomas was born at Collingwood on 9 May 1842. As a young boy Tom went to the goldfields with his father and a story has it that while at Bendigo as a young boy of 10, he was tempted to exchanging a bag of gold dust for a packet of boiled lollies. Thomas married Elizabeth Haddow on 27 May 1880. He was a farmer and his main occupation was growing potatoes. There were 12 children from the marriage. He died on 14 November 1917. Marjorie Veronica Tuck (Brian’s mother) was the tenth child of Thomas and Elizabeth. Marjorie and Gordon Sanford had two children – Gloria and Brian. Brian and Rose Sanford had four children, nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, most of whom are still living on the peninsula.

Rates need fine-tuning, for equity’s sake COMMENT By David Harrison THIS is a tale of two ratepayers, one doing it hard in Rosebud, the other on a bit of land in the hinterland. For perspective, two other ratepayers stand in the shadows to provide balance – one observing from the very top of the peninsula property tree, the other from the very bottom. The top property owner will pay $41,771 rates on a $22.5 million Portsea estate, according to the shire’s draft budget. This includes the municipal charge (MC) of $160, up $10 from last year. The bottom one lives in Truemans Ward, which covers Rosebud, Rosebud West and Tootgarook, in a property valued at $136,000. Its value has risen 13.3 per cent since 2010. The proposed rate rise this year is $10 to $242, or 4.3 per cent. The $242 includes the $160 MC. Next character in the tale is the typical Rosebud ratepayer, a low income earner or pensioner scraping by. Rates bill last year: $550, up 6.7 per cent from the previous year (according to the shire) or 9.1 per cent (independent expert’s figure). You may wish to believe the shire’s smoke and mirrors figure: many don’t. This year it is claiming the rate rise will be 3.9 per cent. Experts say it is 5.63 per cent, when all relevant factors and charges – the MC among them – are included. The shire actually concedes the municipal charge must be included. Its draft 2012-13 budget document states (page 8): “Council’s rate increase for 2012-

13 will average 3.9%. All rateable property will also pay $160 municipal charge, an increase of $10. This will raise rates and charges of $119.770 million� – and raise the average ratepayers’ bill above 3.9 per cent. Back to our typical Rosebud ratepayer’s bill. It comprises the “residential improved sum� of $590 plus the MC of $150. Total to pay: $740. Our last ratepayer is the comfortably off hinterland resident. Rates: about $1850, including the $150 municipal charge. Note that the MC is a constant $150 for each ratepayer, whether their property is valued at $22.5 million or $136,000. Your rates contain another hidden, flat figure – about $90, the cost of your three tip vouchers. The vouchers were originally free, courtesy of a campaign by the Mornington Peninsula Residents’ and Ratepayers’ Association. Many people think they are still free. If you don’t use them you are effectively paying a penalty of $90. Many can’t use them, or have no need for them. They are not transferable, meaning you can’t (or shouldn’t) give them away, or sell them to recover some of their cost to you. These flat amounts follow the GST tax argument that flat taxes are simpler than a sliding scale. Simpler – and inequitable. The accompanying table tells the story. The municipal charge is standardised at last year’s $150 for simplicity. Mornington Peninsula Shire appears to have the second-highest MC of any

similar council on Melbourne’s fringe. Macedon Ranges charges more: its MC is proposed to rise to $177 in 2012-13. Here are some others: Nillumbik’s municipal charge will rise to $97.85, Casey’s rate remains at nil, Whittlesea and Yarra Ranges don’t specify a rate in their draft budgets, Wyndham’s is $39.95. Frankston’s rose last year to $120.65 – its 2012-13 draft budget has not yet been released. Of urban councils, wealthy Bayside plans to charge $126.60. Maroondah, in the outer east, is dropping its MC from $19.90 to $17.30. Councils with no or low MCs seem to take the equitable approach of finetuning rates to collect the revenue they need. This spreading of the burden is both more equitable and more open and transparent than the sleight of hand Mornington Peninsula Shire uses – keeping the rate in the dollar down then gouging ratepayers with the MC. Rates are levied at a sliding scale, based on property valuation. No government, or council, would dream of introducing a flat rate on all properties using the same argument they employ

to justify the flat-rate MC. Even the most insane economic rationalists and flat-raters – some of whom are wild-eyed enough to give the idea a few moments’ thought – know they could never sell it to the electorate. Fervid GST supporters had to concede it would be inequitable to put a flat rate tax on Lamborghinis and Rollers, so some luxury goods taxes were retained. They knew it would be impossible to argue that economy car buyers should subsidise fanciers of Bugattis and Beemers. What is needed is a sensible balance. If a flat municipal charge is to be im-

posed, it should be partly symbolic, intended to signify to ratepayers that every property is entitled to such services as rubbish collection, libraries and road repair and that we are all required to contribute towards them. But it should be kept low, to ensure that the peninsula’s poor, elderly and disadvantaged are not unfairly burdened. Would well-off Portsea and hinterland ratepayers begrudge paying slightly more to ease their load? Or the municipal charge could be abolished, as was done in City of Casey. Something for our councillors to ponder.

Gap year interest grows having ‘light bulb moments’ and thinking ‘she did it and so can I’.” Ms Marsh said Lattitude was an international youth development charity that has supported young people aged 17 to 25 on overseas placements for 40 years. “A wide range of opportunities are available in 12 countries to truly experience another culture and contribute in meaningful ways to local communities around the world,” she said. In 2007, Ms Marsh was placed in a small village in the north of India. She taught English, developed a school newspaper, became a “big sister” figure to her students and travelled India with other volunteers. “The best part is you actually become a local. It’s incredibly humbling to know you are a part of a loving community both in Australia and in India,” she said.

FORMER McCrae resident Siobhan Marsh returned to the peninsula last month to tell secondary students about volunteering abroad. Ms Marsh took a “gap year” in 2007 after finishing VCE at Padua College and went to India for six months to teach English with Lattitude Global Volunteering. She has returned five times and joined Lattitude’s marketing department in early 2011. Ms Marsh talked to students at Rosebud and Dromana secondary colleges and Padua College in Mornington. “My gap year made me more self-sufficient, braver and helped me to learn new things about myself, both good and bad,” she said. “It was fantastic talking to the students on the peninsula; it was wonderful to see some of them

Ms Marsh said it was not unusual for volunteers to end up working for the organisation after their gap years. “With so many people in the office who have been through the program, we can provide support and understanding for those overseas and throughout their whole journey with Lattitude,” she said. Lattitude holds regular information sessions. The next one is in Melbourne on Saturday 16 June. For details, visit www. lattitude.org.au or call 9826 6266.

Go OS young people: Former McCrae resident and Padua College student Siobhan Marsh returned to the peninsula last month to tell secondary school students about her travels in India as a volunteer and encourage them to have a go.

Budget TAFE cuts ‘devastating’ JOB losses and course cuts at Rosebud campus of Chisholm TAFE will have a devastating impact on the entire Mornington Peninsula community, says MP Johan Scheffer. The Eastern Victoria Region MP in the upper house said funding cuts to the TAFE sector would have a wider impact than just on students and teachers. Mr Scheffer said he had received

hundreds of messages from constituents expressing their anger and disappointment at the Baillieu government’s $300 million funding cut. “In the nearly 10 years that I have been in this job I have never received so many messages from constituents expressing their anger, fury and profound disappointment over a single budget measure,” Mr Scheffer said.

“Many of these messages contain personal comments and examples of how the funding cuts will affect and harm individuals, families and communities. “The constituents who have written to me, along with many thousands more who have attended protests and spoken out in the media in recent weeks, are sending a very clear mes-

sage to the government. These cuts to the TAFE sector – the most savage ever delivered – should be reversed.” Mr Scheffer said Chisholm TAFE in Frankston and Rosebud would likely be impacted as TAFEs across Victoria were forced to look at cutting courses, raising fees and sacking staff. “Chisholm is a strong provider of a great many education and training

courses,” Mr Scheffer said. “Chisholm Institute’s board and management have been understandably rocked by the announcements, describing the budget cuts as regrettable and astonishing. “The reaction to the cuts has been extraordinary, and it’s now up to the government to listen to the community and reverse this callous decision.”

Road safety group aims to improve life for riders By Mike Hast A GROUP formed to make Mornington Peninsula roads safer for motorists and cyclist has been launched at Rosebud police station. Bike Safe Mornington Peninsula is modelled on Bike Safe Surf CoastGeelong-Bellarine, which was formed in early 2010 in response to a series of fatalities in the Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula region, and in March won a National Bicycling Achievement Award. The convenor of the peninsula group, Alan Woollard, a retired engineer of Rye and a recreational cyclist, said Bike Safe had been started to “improve bicycle safety by implementing a public awareness campaign to show that a ‘share the road’ message was of benefit to both cyclists and motorists and will improve the behaviour of both�. “We want to promote safety messages to cyclists and motorists, and encourage infrastructure maintenance so cyclists can safely share the road with motorists,� he said. Bike Safe would work with the two authorities that own the peninsula’s roads – the shire council and VicRoads – to improve conditions for both two and four-wheeled vehicles, he said. The group has the backing of police with Inspector Martin Tynan attending the launch. “Between 2002 and 2007, crashes involving cyclists represent 7.7 per cent of all vehicle crashes recorded on the peninsula,� Mr Woollard said. “This is within one per cent of the total across metropolitan Melbourne, but well above the figure in other rural

municipalities.� Mr Woollard said there had been six cycling deaths on the peninsula in the past decade. Bike Safe has held talks with a number of bicycle groups on the peninsula and in Frankston. Mr Woollard said one complaint from motorists was cyclist did not stay in bike lanes. “What many drivers

don’t realise is that bike lanes and road shoulders contain debris such as sand, glass, stones, grass and overgrown shurbs and trees.� He said insufficient maintenance made it unsafe for cyclists. “Sweeping lanes, ensuring line markings are clear and well defined with bike logos, and making sure there is appropriate and correct signs will go

a long way to improving relations between motorists and cyclists and make the peninsula safer for everyone. This has worked very well on the other side of the bay.� He said cycling was the fastest growing sport in Australia with more than a million bicycles sold every year. “People in the 35-55 age group are the ones thinking about the health ben-

efits of cycling, plus they like the social side of meeting people. “Cycle tourism is a growing niche market with considerable opportunities for the peninsula’s economy. “Cycle tourism has multiple benefits including boosting domestic and inbound tourism, providing ecological sustainable tourism, enhancing the infrastructure of local communities and encouraging healthy activities.� Mr Woollard said a key message was that drivers and cyclist should share the road. He said Bike Safe had received financial support from Rye & Dromana Bendigo Bank branches and Hillview Quarries. “We are also supported by Bike Safe Surf Coast-Geelong-Bellarine, the Amy Gillett Foundation and Rosebud and Mornington police.

OPINION

The Western Port Whisperer THE Whisper is that a Hastings Football Club legend has turned his hand to umpiring. His first ump job was Saturday a week ago where he officiated an under-18s match between Tyabb and Pearcedale. Fronting up on Sunday morning, the said legend ran on as a player in the Super Rules competition for the Peninsula Raiders. All was going swimmingly for this all round nice guy until he was sent off for – you guessed it – abusing the umpire! And just one day after starting his own umpiring career. *** COMMONSENSE seems absent in many decisions made by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. If the reports in this newspaper are correct, you can be whacked with a $2500 fine for not notifying the council, in writing and within 48 hours, that your bin has been stolen. Surely that is a clear case of punishing the victim. The Whisperer wonders why this type of heavy-handedness is necessary. He has twice been confronted with a damaged bin, once when a wheel broke, the other when a lid cracked. Both incident occurred on collection day and possibly after a bit of rough handling by the rubbish collection truck’s mechanical arm. A phone call to the shire in both instances resulted in a quick response – both bins being fixed within one day. But it seems our regulators just can’t resist having the power to inflict a penalty. The threat of a fine wipes away the all the good feelings Whisperer had about his own wheelie good experience. The Whisperer recently heard of another

council that offers free television drop-off at the local tip. Suffice to say, you have to pay to drop off an old television in MP Shire ($6), and hardly a day goes past where the Whisperer doesn’t see one along the roadside. An interesting question: “Would it be cheaper to offer free drop-off, rather than pay people to go around picking them up off roadsides?� Surely there’s money to be made from recycling some components? The Whisperer is seeing more and more rubbish on roadsides, probably due to increased tipping fees. An entire lounge suite has been left on a camping site at Rosebud. *** WHILE we’re on the subject of bureaucracy gone mad, what is it with highway patrol police? In this past week the Whisperer has received two reports of strange behaviour from these increasingly revenue-driven marauders. In one case, a housewife was pulled over by the highway patrol car for “wearing a hoodie�. Alas, it was just the young lady’s haircut that must have appeared “hoodie-like�. In another case, a driver was pulled over and booked for driving with fog lights on. One must assume that it wasn’t foggy at the time, but how is this considered an offence? Should we, like some totalitarian regime, just accept that we are all guilty and happily take on the chin any punishment dished out by the authorities? The Whisperer has lost his trust in police; most particularly the ones of the highway patrol kind. It is time “Big Ted� Baillieu put a stop to this nonsense. thewhisperer@y7mail.com

IN YOUR COMMUNITY

Reflexology becoming a popular complementary treatment REFLEXOLOGY, also known as zone therapy, is based on the principle that each part of the body is interconnected through the nervous system to the hands and feet. Stimulating specific reflex points in the feet can bring relief to poorly functioning areas of the body. Reflex points, which relate to all parts of the body, can be found in the feet, hands, face and ears. The points respond to the physical act of applying pressure to the feet, hands or ears with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques, stimulating

the body’s own natural healing process. The body starts progressively clearing blockages, re-establishing energy flows and balancing itself, resulting in better health. There are many different styles and approaches used in reflexology, however the basic principle is constant. Reflexology is becoming increasingly popular in the world of complementary therapies.

Light and bright

Stop looking, you’ve found it

THIS light and bright modern home is a stunning residence for the professional couple or single. The unit has its own street frontage and there are three car spaces on the title, including a single lock-up garage. Setting itself apart from other villas, where the living areas are predominantly open plan, here we have a separate lounge and then through into a combined kitchen and dining area. The splendid kitchen has a large counter as the centrepiece and there is an under-bench oven and dishwasher. There is space for a dining table. The king-sized main bedroom has built-in robes. Outside is a small undercover, paved patio area overlooking the low-maintenance backyard.

IF you are downsizing or a tradesman looking for a comfortable home for the family and a place for work vehicles and tools to be securely stored, you can’t go past this terrific property that just screams value for money. Positioned on a 695-square metre block, there is a double carport at the front that joins on to a 6 x 6-metre steel shed, perfect for work tools and extra vehicles. The home is extremely well presented with a great colour scheme and slate tile flooring in the walkways, lounge and kitchen. There are four bedrooms, including the master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe, and built-in robes in the other three bedrooms.

Live the good life

Nest or invest

SOAK up the country air and live in fine style with this spacious four-bedroom home, set on 3.64 hectares (9 acres) of flat pasture land, close to Tyabb township. The property has been divided into eight fenced paddocks and there is a 30,000-litre water tank for livestock. However, the property lends itself very well to a work-from-home tradesman as there is a large shed complex on a concrete slab featuring two roller doors. In excellent condition, the larger shed is complemented by several smaller sheds for general storage of feed and other equipment. To complete the work-from-home package there is a separate office. Polished floorboards feature in three of the four bedrooms, which have all been attractively decorated, as well as the combined kitchen and dining area. The home has mains water, gas and electricity all connected as well as solar power.

SET in a block of just four, this near-new unit is very close to playgrounds, primary schools and train station. The interior is spacious with 2.74-metre (9-foot) ceilings and there is a fantastic amount of natural light in the lounge room courtesy of a series of long rectangular windows. A large kitchen has a dishwasher, breakfast bar and plenty of cupboard space and there is an adjoining dining area that leads to a private courtyard. Both bedrooms are double size, with the main bedroom featuring a walk-in robe and access to a dualentry bathroom. The second bedroom has a built-in robe. A single garage at the front has internal access to the home. The unit offers peace of mind to a new investor, with a tenant in place giving the property a return of $1257 per calendar month and there is also a balance of the builder’s warranty remaining.

Stock is also carried for camping and fishing. Current takings are about $8000 a week and still showing growth potential. Set directly behind the shop is an adjoining four-bedroom home, which would serve as the owner’s residence and is included as part of the lease of the business. The store is being sold on a walk in, walk out basis with all fixtures, fittings and stock included.

Office and warehouse

Get your pet set

SET in the heart of the Mornington Industrial Estate, now even busier with the arrival of the new Masters Home Improvement store, this 395-square metre warehouse includes 134 square metres of office space, with two partioned and fully carpeted offices, complete with central heating and cooling. The warehouse is of tilt-slab construction and has a container-height, steel roller door and toward the rear is a storeroom with shelving. For staff and customers, there are five car parks in front and two undercover. The property is zoned Industrial 3 and vacant possession is available.

THIS fast-growing business, established in 2009, carries a wide variety of the latest products and supplies for pets and animals both great and small. The warehouse is 500 square metres and has an aquarium and hydro bath. The business trades six days a week and can easily be run with two staff, but there is plenty of scope for future growth. The business shows strong turnover. Outgoings including rent are very reasonable.

well”, enabling Harris to increase advertising fees. The global financial crisis and the loss of three major sponsors in “one fell swoop” sent the show reeling, this time financially, nothing to do with pulling in a fish. “TV is a tough field when you’re producing,” Harris says in reflection. However, Honda Marine had been waiting in the wings, along with Surtees Boats, Club Marine Insurance, Dunbier Trailers and Icom, a Japanese communications company. “We moved to Foxtel about two and a half years ago [after a falling out with Channel 31], but are now also back on Channel 31,” Harris said. “And we’re

about to move to TV for Me, a Channel Seven digital channel. “It’s branded content so we have to buy space [air time]. I’ve pitched the program to the networks many times but they don’t know what they want.” The show has two presenters, Theo Rozakis, co-director MY Marine in Dromana, and Robby Nethercote: “It’s a bit like Getaway meets Rex Hunt.” While also making corporate videos, Harris says River to Reef takes up 90 per cent of his time. He shoots and edits the footage and negotiates with sponsors and advertisers. Although the show is widely recognised, Harris still has trouble gaining support from tourism groups or local councils when arranging a shoot in their area. He said “they just don’t seem to get it” when contacted and told he’ll be arriving to shoot enough footage for half a dozen episodes of a program that will freely promote their area and a tourist destination. A debacle in Tasmania and, more recently, lack of cooperation on the Mornington Peninsula has seen him again revamp the format, replacing much of the planned “location branding” with paid advertisements. Dealing with people is not difficult for Harris, who left Monash High School at 15 to later become a qualified motorbike mechanic “who’d always had a passion for filmmaking”. He worked and saved to buy a super

8 camera and always wanted rolls of film for Christmas or birthday presents. Libraries became a happy hunting ground for books on filmmaking, which he consumed at a rapid rate as well as undertaking a course on video production run by Open Channel. Being invited to the set of Ground Zero, a film starring Colin Friels, “was the verification of everything I’d ever read”. Harris bought some video gear and started making “freebies” for music groups, which eventually led to paid jobs, including The Seekers’ Judith Durham, Glenn Shorrock, Russell Morris, John Denver and the Village People. Corporate videos, product promotions and television commercials followed. He has been a news and documentary cameraman and was instrumental in setting up Channel 31, which used Channel Seven’s broadcasting tower with links provided by the ABC. These days River to Reef runs to a production formula that sees about 20 hours of taped vision cut down to 10 episodes of 26 minutes each. After 184 episodes, Harris knows how to call the shots, but remains ever alert to staying ahead in an industry that is as fluid as the waters that are the permanent prop for his television series.

The early shows were made in conjunction with a radio host, the late Glenn Knight, and were a visual version of a fishing and boating program he ran on radio for 18 years. The nuts and bolts for River to Reef were worked out over a long lunch when Harris was in between jobs. “I thought ‘what do I do now – corporate videos’, but then I thought about a series, the same gig every week.” A pilot and two episodes were put to Channel 31, which agreed to air the show, beginning the start of a weekly show that, in the end, set a pace that was impossible to keep up. “We bought air time, set up an office – things were bubbling along nicely.” The crew would go to an area and visit the pub to find out where the fish were biting and who was catching them. “We used the local fishos to tell the story. It was like making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, but we made 97 episodes.” Harris and Knight split amicably two years ago and the show was revamped and centred on taking a (sponsored) boat with a (sponsored) car and trailer. “We’d travel to a location to go fishing and show the lifestyle there.” River to Reef gained a following and a reputation and big name companies in boating and fishing began approaching Harris.

WATERFRONT CAFE

By Keith Platt MORE used to being behind the camera, Phil Harris has to make a few adjustments when confronted by the black hole of a zoom lens. More used to telling people to relax than taking his own advice, Harris manages a grin and politely asks if enough shots have been taken. A cinematographer who edits his own footage, writes scripts, lines up sponsors and sells ads, Harris is the product of the digital television age. From a factory in Mornington, Harris’s Lennox Productions creates a fishing and lifestyle TV series that currently screens on two channels (one pay and one free-to-air) in four states. River to Reef is about to switch channels, which, as Harris explains, is nothing surprising in the digital age. An increasing number of TV programs are aired on bought time, with producers paying the channels for airtime and then seeking to cover costs through sponsors and advertisers. It is a finance model pioneered by free newspapers, including The News. Marketing company STW Group has signalled its entry into what is now being called “branded entertainment” by backing Hatch Entertainment, which already claims to be considering five “branded” productions. The idea is certainly nothing new to Harris who has been producing River to Reef for the past six years.

Frankie says ‘chillax’ – a brief history of Manglish By Stuart McCullough WHAT is the world’s stupidest word? If this question has ever troubled you, then worry no more. The hunt is over. After many months and a search so exhaustive it would make the folks over at The Voice seem lazy in comparison, we are finally ready to announce a winner. Chillax. More than just a really stupid word, chillax is an outright mutation. Combining the words chill and relax in an unholy fusion, it is the fat end of the wedge. Once, people complained vociferously at any attempt to dumb down the language. Now such efforts are greeted with a simple ‘LOL’ or, worse still, . The battle has been lost. There is simply no way back from here. I like to refer to this mangling of the language as “Manglish”. Technically, though, chillax is an “English blend” or, if you prefer, a portmanteau. But don’t let the term fool you. Despite how it sounds, an English blend is not something you brew in your tea pot of choice and then consume with a Monte Carlo in front of the fireplace. Rather, it is the practice of taking two English words and combining them. It must stop. Granted, plenty of people will, doubtless, describe the art of the English blend as flatout adorabubble (a combination of adorable and lovable) or awesometastic (both awesome and fantastic) and a perfectly legitimate pursuit for adultescents (an adult who continues to enjoy youth culture) everywhere. Given a choice, I prefer the term portmanteau. Unlike English blend, a portmanteau doesn’t sound like

Picture: Yanni

something you sip with a biscuit in front of an open fire so much as it does something you imbibe with your pipe and slippers immediately after having returned to harbour. But either way, it’s still an insidious practice that’s ruining the English language. Even if you possess an abilitude (ability and aptitude) for coming up with perverse combinations of words, enough is enough. So how did it come to this? As is so often the case, Beyonce may well be to blame. That’s because there are few English blends more startling than the word “bootylicious”. When the band Destiny’s Child released its single Bootylicious in 2001, it was greeted by both universal acclaim and outright confusion.

The term – an English blend of the words “booty” and “delicious” (and meaning callipygous and voluptuous) prompted a general scratching of heads not seen since Billy Ray Cyrus referred to his Achy Breaky Heart. More than anything, it declared to world that it was open slather on the English language. In 2004, bootylicious was elevated to dictionary status, with the folks over at Oxford giving it the stamp of approval. But although the term was undoubtedly popularised by Destiny’s Child, it was, in fact, rapper Snoop Dogg who first used the term in 1992 on Dr Dre’s The Chronic album. Snoop – no stranger to any kind of English blend – clearly has a lot to answer for. But wait. Now that I think about it,

things went south well before Calvin Broadus (Snoop Dogg was not the name his mother gave him) first stepped up to the microphone. Consider, if you will, the term “brunch” – a union of two totally respectable words, designed to dud you out of an entire meal. Much like an unwanted backpacker, it snuck into the language sometime in the 1980s and has since refused to leave. Let me be clear, there is no such thing as brunch – it’s just a late breakfast. Having crossed a brunch too far, it has since been a case of anything goes. So maybe it’s not all Beyonce’s or even Snoop Dogg’s fault after all. In fact, now that I think about it, perhaps the problem existed even before the invention of brunch.

On further reflection, I think the buck stops with Lewis Carroll. That’s right, Lewis Carroll, writer of classics such as Alice in Wonderland. His poem Jabberwocky may well be the thing that first pushed the handcart in hell’s general direction. Granted, it doesn’t refer to brunch and there’s certainly no mention of anyone being bootylicious, but it does inflict the term “frabjous” (in which the words fair, fabulous and joyous collide) on an unsuspecting public. Had Lewis Carroll known that, 140 years later, this kind of license with the language would inspire the people over at Kentucky Fried Chicken to bang on about “the goodification” – a term that leaves me feeling as if I want to punch Colonel Sanders – he might have had second thoughts. So here we are – more than a century since Lewis Carroll got the ball rolling and several decades after brunch ruined our appetites; and the entire English language has unravelled in a truly craptacular fashion. Manglish is upon us and there’s no stopping it. The whole sorry catastrophe leaves me feeling downright confuzzled. In fact, it’s all too much. Even as I write I can feel the hotwires of my mind beginning to overheat. Best to take a deep, deep breath and do what I always do when overload is upon me – simply ask: “what would Snoop Dogg do in this situation?” The answer, I feel, is clear. He would, without doubt, chillax. www.stuartmccullough.com

Bad day for Somie – flogged by Hillmen and injuries galore, Blues come good against Tyabb NEPEAN DIVISION

By Toe Punt SOMERVILLE captain Aaron Murray will undergo scans on his knee this week after going down in the second quarter in his team’s big loss to Red Hill. Murray “heard a pop” in the opposite knee to the one he had reconstructed last season. In more bad news for the Eagles, Todd Farrelly also sustained a knee injury and Ben Crowe broke his foot. Two players also tore hamstrings. In the last quarter on Saturday, Somerville had three injured players on the ground and an interchange bench full of players who could not play. Eagles’ coach Leigh Stewart said everything fell apart against the Hillmen. “Things were going one of two ways – we were going to start winning the tight ones or we were going to get touched up,” Stewart said. “Unfortunately, it was the one we didn’t want. “They [Red Hill] play their ground extremely well and it really suits the list they have. They deserved to win like they did – they were fantastic.” With just two wins this season, it appears Somerville’s ambition to play finals is over. “I’m not looking at the

ladder or the results. I’m not even wanting to read the local papers at the moment,” Stewart said. “We just need to start concentrating on turning things around and everything will work itself out from there. “One thing I do know is that playing in a decade of under-18 finals means stuff all when you get to senior footy. “You’ve got to work hard when you play senior footy and that’s what we’ve got to get back to. “Some big-name players are going to have to make way for some youngsters. The ‘unders’ are flying and there’s half a dozen of them that I want to have a good look at. “They’ll give us some enthusiasm and they’ll have a go. “We can’t do the same thing and expect a different result. “I look at the whiteboard on a Friday night and think to myself, ‘gee that’s a good side’, but we’re not getting the job done and things need to change.” Red Hill jumped Somerville in the opening term and led by 19 points. It was a goal for goal second quarter, before the floodgates opened in the second half, the Hillmen booting 14 goals to one. Josh Mold kicked six and Jarryd Douglas four for the winners while

Luke Adams was outstanding with three majors. Old stagers Ben Sedgewick, Caleb Cox and Will Jolley flew the flag for the Eagles. Hastings proved the adage a week is a long time in football by flogging Tyabb to the tune of 99 points. Coach Glenn Michie was very happy on Sunday morning. “It was a pretty good day,” Michie told The News. “We won all four quarters rather than dominating one, we chipped away and extended the lead.” After missing games through injury and playing alongside big forwards, Dylan Hand was back to some of his best form with seven majors. “Dylan was hampered by too many talls in the forward line and with me out of the side, I think it helped him,” Michie said. “While he kicked seven goals, Dylan had 14 direct score involvements. “We’ve been working hard at training on how we want to play and, for the first time, we were able to execute it on Saturday. “The road doesn’t get any easier though – we’ve got Bombers and Rye in the next two weeks. “In saying that, I’m confident if we

can repeat the performance of Saturday we can win both games.” Michie was impressed with the form of Luke Hewitt, who wanted an opportunity in attack and grabbed it with both hands. “Luke was great, Rogasch continued his outstanding form and Wishart was back to the form he showed in 2011,” Michie said. Grant Masterson booted four and Aaron Pike three for the winners while Col McVeigh and Meloury continued their dominant form. Frankston Bombers continued its outstanding run, leading for most of the afternoon to beat Pearcedale by 38 points. After a tight first quarter, Bombers kicked away with the aid of the wind in the second and led by 30 points at halftime. The margin was brought back to 17 points at the last change before the Bombers kicked away again. Former Panther Dean Wagner was the best player on the ground, rebounding from half-back for the Bombers, while Shaun Brand was also solid in the back line. Chris Fortnam was the Panthers’ best player, kicking four goals, while his shadow for the day, Shawn Wilkey, booted a couple for the Bombers.

Ben Mitchell and Haydn Moore had a great battle in the ruck and Byron Hoe was outstanding for the Panthers from half-back. Dromana again flexed its muscles on Saturday, this time against Devon Meadows, which was smashed by a whopping 147 points. The Tigers boasted 11 goalkickers and Paul Minchington returning from suspension to boot nine and be best on the ground. Steven Gaertner and Ryan Worn were also outstanding four-quarter contributors for the Tigers. Crib Point is equal third on the ladder after defeating Rosebud. It was all Rosebud in the first half, which peppered the goals, having an additional 10 scoring shots and leading by 14 points. Brenton Davidge and Lachy Armstrong were well on top and Chris Rogers was also dominating. But the Magpies came back in a hurry in the third and booted six goals to two to lead by three points at the final change. It was all Pies in the last as they kicked away to win by 16 points. Luke Herrington booted five and Dean Warry three for the winners, while James Cook and Dean Kairies were outstanding in the big man department.

Langwarrin puts Mornington to the sword, Pines in noble loss to Mt Eliza PENINSULA DIVISION

While the Dogs have lost four games by 95-plus points this season against the best sides in the competition, this was by far the worst loss for the club in 2012. Mornington was expected to take it up to Langwarrin at Lloyd Park, but had just 19 scoring shots to 34 – the final margin was a staggering 70 points. Karingal proved on Saturday that Chelsea is a long way from being a premiership threat. After booting the first three goals at Ballam Park, the Seagulls kicked just three more for the rest of the match. Chelsea was completely smashed in all areas of the ground. It was slow, disorganised, reactionary and, to be frank, second-rate against a genuine premiership contender. Karingal was disciplined, structured, creative, fast and damaging. The Bulls have weapons everywhere and with the likes of Bedford, Jack, Alainis, Eames and Bliesner running around in the reserves, there’s certainly plenty of depth. The forward line of Chris Hay, Dan Noble and Michael Burke is extremely dangerous. With the likes of Charalambous, Kellerman, Hirst, Dixon, McGarry and

Tyquin playing further up the ground and providing tremendous skill and pace, the Bulls finally have the luxury of playing Burke as a permanent forward. In defence, the Bulls are rock solid. Luke Van Raay headlines the act, Duncan Proud is arguably the best fullback in the business, while Troy Hoad and the coach Brendan Dunne read the ball extremely well and rebound with precision. For the Gulls, Scott McLeod tried his heart out all afternoon, Nigel Carmody was under the pump but worked hard, and Anthony Lewis led from the front. Mt Eliza maintained its average of eight goals in opening quarters this season by booting 8.2 against Pines on Saturday. The Mounties didn’t maintain the momentum for the entire 100 minutes though, booting 12 for the remainder of the match. Despite the slow start, Pines was very competitive in the final three quarters, kicking six goals to 12 after quarter time. Scott Lockwood and Sam Lloyd again proved to be solid targets in attack with four goals each for the Redlegs, while Sam Wettenhall also played

forward and finished with four majors. Scott Simpson celebrated his VCFL state squad call-up with a sensational performance, while Josh Norman is still building to take this competition by the scruff of the neck in the second half of the season. Jack Cole has also been a very good pick up for the Redlegs and provided plenty of drive through the middle. Pines was not disgraced as many good judges believed they would be. Coach Steve Ryan would have been happy with their work. Shaun and Adam McPherson were strong in contests and continued their fine run, David Guganovic worked tirelessly, Trent Potts played another consistent four quarters and the Pythons’ best in Jimmy Messina and Brendan Neville never stopped working. Besides Frankston YCW and Karingal, Mt Eliza is the only other side capable of playing in a grand final. Frankston YCW again stamped its authority on an opposition team, this time beating Seaford by five goals. The visitors trailed at quarter time, but flexed their muscles in the second term, booting nine goals to one behind to set up a comfortable victory. The Tigers outscored YCW in the

second half, 10 goals to six, but the reigning back-to-back premiers didn’t need to get out of second gear. Ben Tellis, Lachy Wallace and Lew Roberts booted three each for the winners, while Tommy Shaw kicked five and Dale Kirchenberg three for the Tigers. For the second week in a row, Tigers’ gun Michael Kraska missed the match after being knocked unconscious early in the game against Pines in an accidental incident. Bonbeach boasted 12 more scoring shots against Edithvale-Aspendale on Saturday, but could only manage a 12-point victory. In an emotional day at Bonbeach following the death of league legend and former Edithvale great Ken Lyons (see below), the game was a low scoring one with just seven goals kicked on each side. Mark Tyrrell, Tommy Payton and Matt Batten again shone for the Sharks, while Jason Ferraro and Paul Rebeschini were also at their best. Timmy Mannix, Beau Turner, Nick Connellan and Jeremy Heys were among the best for the Eagles, while youngster Zac Muschialli was outstanding.

FOOTY SHORTS

Reserves match on the weekend was called off just before half-time after a player was injured. Due to the length of time the ambulance took to get to the ground, officials were left with no choice but to abandon the match. Seaford was leading YCW by four goals.

had suffered a similar fate the week before. “Neil left the field with a blood nose after colliding with our ruckman Haydn Moore,” Blackford said. A popular figure in the MPNFL community, McKinnon isn’t expected to be seen gracing our fields again this season. We all wish him a speedy recovery.

medal named in his honour. The recipient of the first-ever Ken Lyons medal in 1986, Frankston Bombers coach Tony Blackford said the league was richer for having Lyons as part of it. “It was extremely sad to hear of Ken’s passing, but what a great legacy he leaves behind,” Blackford said. “Kenny loved the league, loved the characters, loved the kids coming through and really embraced everyone. “He was very popular among all footy people and epitomised what local footy is all about – friends and fun. The funeral for Ken Lyons will be held in Mordialloc on Friday. See obituary on this page.

By Toe Punt FORMER Melbourne long goal specialist and current Langwarrin coach Paul Wheatley hit his straps for the first time this season with six goals in his side’s emphatic 11-plus goal win against Mornington. In his third game back from a calf strain, Wheatley played a key role as the focal forward and was one of eight goalkickers for the Kangaroos. The home side jumped out of the blocks and had 10 scoring shots to the Doggies’ three in the opening term. Jarryd Amalfi continued his outstanding form across half-back and through the middle for the Kangas, while Mark McGill and Michael Parker with three goals were sensational through the middle of the ground. Shane Urbans and Daniel Wehner continue to provide grunt through the middle for Langwarrin and youngster Jayden Johnson, in his second game, booted three goals. Once again, the Doggies were average and lacked spark and fighting qualities. Keith O’Brien and Kyle Brouwer worked tirelessly for the Dogs, while Chris Baker and Tim Johnson also worked hard.

Sharks’ star returns BONBEACH star Shane McDonald will return to the side this weekend against Mornington after serving a six-week suspension. The Sharks are just a game outside the top five and many good judges believe the addition of “Macca” will enable the team to challenge Seaford and Chelsea for a place in the top bracket.

Game abandoned THE Seaford versus Frankston YCW

‘Gorra’ returns MPNFL legend George Gorozides, who booted more than 600 goals in 84 matches at an average of eight a game with Bonbeach, returned to the club this week and ran around in the seconds. Unfortunately for “Gorra”, his side booted just two goals for the game and was embarrassed by EdithvaleAspendale.

Ump may be out EXPERIENCED MPNFL umpire Neil McKinnon may not control another game this season or perhaps ever. McKinnon was knocked unconscious and taken from the field after colliding with YCW ruckman Josh Leary two weeks ago. According to umpires’ boss Jeff Jones, McKinnon missed the entire week at work and is suffering from severe neck soreness. Frankston Bombers coach Tony Blackford told the RPP Footy Show last Saturday morning that McKinnon

OBITUARY Kenneth Thomas (Ken) Lyons 1933-2012 Footballer, football administrator THE MPNFL has lost one of its longest-serving members with the death last Friday of Ken Lyons at age 78. A spokesman for the league said he had “dedicated more than five decades to football as a player, administrator and board member”. “Ken was very well respected throughout the MPNFL football and netball community especially at the Edithvale-Aspendale Football Club where he spent his early years as a player, committee member and then as president. “He became president of the Mornington Peninsula Football League in 1976, a position he held until the amalgamation of the MPFL and the NFL at the end of 1986. “Ken was appointed deputy chairman of the newly formed league, a position he held until 1999.

Umpire new MPNFL boss SOUTHERN Umpires Association boss Jeff Jones is the new chief executive of the MPNFL. Jones was appointed last Thursday and will take up the role on 2 July. He needs to umpire seven more games to bring up 1000 matches and the league has given its blessing for him to achieve this outstanding milestone. The new CEO said the key to being successful in his new role was working with the clubs. “I don’t plan to come in and turn everything upside down,” he said. “The initial period will be about watching and listening with the aim of making informed decisions when the time comes. “The blueprint of VCFL football has been produced in a report and it will be our responsibility to govern to some of those recommendations and directions. “Communication is the key in this role and there are many great people across the leagues with fantastic visions and ideas. I look forward to tapping into those,” he said. Although better known for his work with the whistle, Jones brings a wealth of business and marketing experience to the role and comes from the pharmaceutical industry. The MPNFL is describing Jones’s role as “chief executive officer and commercial manager”. “Jeff is well known to local football followers while being involved with the Southern Umpires Association both as a field umpire and executive member who has a strong understanding of local football and umpiring as well as the challenges that clubs face on an ongoing basis,” the league said on its website “[He] understands the need to keep up with changes to laws and legislation and staying at the forefront of providing the best service possible in an ever-changing environment.

Hoofy hanging in “Jeff, 38, brings with him strong marketing and communication skills, a proven record in creating new partnerships and corporate sponsors for security of the financial future of the MPNFL.” League chairman Tony Vagg, said the appointment “reflects the MPNFL’s ongoing commitment to its member clubs to grow the competition and to promote and expand the commercial interests of the league”. The CEO’s position has been vacant since December 2008 when Steve Pallas resigned after just 18 months in the job. Andrew Kelly and Mike Hast

IT’S been a busy eight weeks for Bryce Van Hoof and his Hoofy Racing Team. The 25-year-old Rosebud-based motorcycle rider has competed in three rounds of the Australian Superbike Prostock Championships at Hidden Valley in Darwin, Phillip Island and Queensland Raceway. “All the rounds have had various obstacles to overcome,” he said. “Hoofy” suffered heat exhaustion in Darwin and spent almost three hours between races in the medical centre. “Phillip Island proved challenging with changing weather conditions and we had a

clutch problem in Queensland.” Despite the hurdles, Van Hoof sits in seventh spot in the Prostock championships with two rounds remaining. His next outing is at Broadford for the second round of the Victorian titles, where he is currently running third in the Prostock and fourth in Superbike categories. He will be back at Phillip Island for round six of ASBK over the weekend of 17-19 August. Keep up with Hoofy at: www.hoofyracing. com

Warriors have fun at the carnival By Andrew Brady THE mighty Westernport Warriors reignited their season with a comprehensive display of power football at last week’s Carnival Round held at Xavier College. Full credit firstly to Xavier College and RecLink for putting on such a wonderful day for all the teams to enjoy. The school should be extremely proud of the students who assisted with boundary and goal umpire duties, carrying water and the serving of food and drink to all participants and their supporters. It was a privilege for our players to enjoy the magnificent facilities at the school and the mighty Warriors certainly rose to the occasion and played some inspired football during the course of the day.

The first game was against archrivals and close friends the Doveton Cobras. The Cobras were pumping themselves up before the first bounce declaring that they were the team to beat this season and were rightly perched on top of the RecLink ladder. The Warriors were boosted before the game by the appearance of past president Brian Dobson and cult Warriors figure Marty “Dobbo” Dobson who in retirement declared himself to be the new forward line coach in the Warriors camp. The mere presence of the Dobbo clan further motivated the Warriors as they went about the business of showing the Cobras what team football is all about. The Cobras brains trust obviously hadn’t done

their homework and mustn’t read the newspapers as it appeared that they had no knowledge of the skills and talent of Tim “Buddy” Churchin who again was in freakish form. Buddy kicked nine of our 11 goals and Mt Martha Primary School rules applied in the forward line as the Cobras couldn’t touch him. Buddy commented after the game: “The supply from ‘Jumping’ [Joey Robb], ‘Naughty’ [Ash Norton] and ‘Lleyts’ [Jake Hewitt] helped a lot, but gee I made them look good!” The Warriors recorded a clinical 11.6-72 to 5.10-40 win over the Cobras in the first round of competition. After a short break the Warriors took the field again to tackle the talented outfit from Odyssey House who

were keen to claim a big scalp in the competition. Buddy received some words of advice from forward coach Dobbo prior to the game and he was subsequently restricted to only four goals, taking his season’s tally to 48 and still on track for the ton. Troy “The Boy” DeVries experienced some rare form in the ruck and had a pretty good day out as did Brian “Nuc” Kells who displayed some dashes of brilliance off half-back. Chris “Head” Bastin showed glimpses of his best and is slowly returning to form and Jordan “Hungry” Hendrix lifted after a fairly ordinary first up performance against the Cobras. Mathew “Spaghetti” Caruana played with zest and was one of the

Warriors’ best for the day and it was great to see James “Crown” Cascini back in Warriors colours despite wearing a slightly bigger jumper after spending the off season in a very good paddock. In a tightly fought contest the Warriors lifted when it counted to defeat Odyssey 6.4-40 to 4.0-24. The next game is against Sacred Heart Mission on Wednesday 27 June and the bus will leave Hastings Youth Centre at 10am. The Hearts are always hard to beat at home and the Warriors have only beaten them on their patch once in the eight years the team has been in the competition. The pressure is all on the Warriors, who need to keep winning to maintain a top two position and the chance to play off for the coveted A grade premiership.

Seaford can maintain momentum: ‘Squizzy’ By Craig MacKenzie SEAFORD United coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor is confident his men can maintain their promotion push. The Provisional 2 outfit recorded a come-from-behind 3-1 away win at Endeavour United on Saturday to join Caulfield United Cobras on top of the ladder. Matt Durand put the home team in front early in the second half, but a Luke Gale through-ball set up usual suspect Dave Greening and he made no mistake to level. Seaford went ahead when a long Marcus Brownlie goalkick wasn’t dealt with by the Endeavour defence and quicksilver Matt Curd rounded the keeper and finished off well from a tight angle. No prizes for guessing who put the icing on Seaford’s cake as Greening notched his 12th goal in eight starts in 2012 as he chases last year’s haul of 22 goals from 14 games. “I think we can keep it going, although the next couple of games [against Bayside Argonauts and Ashburton United] are going to very, very difficult,” Taylor said. “But we’re playing really well at the moment. We’ve been digging deep and there’s a great spirit among the lads. “We’re solid at the back, we’re good in midfield and we’ve got blokes who can score.” How Langwarrin coach Gus Macleod wishes he had blokes who could score. Macleod thought he’d nabbed one such player when he agreed terms

with Casey Comets striker Liam Ryan last week, but Comets exercised their option to hold up the paperwork and Ryan was unable to debut in Langy’s home game against Morwell Pegasus. Star striker Caleb Nicholes was suspended and Firaol Likassa had been released so Macleod decided to promote Rod Meikle from one of the

club’s Bayside League teams to partner Ben Caffrey in attack. But championship challenger Pegasus prevailed in a scrappy contest and maintained its push for a State League 1 spot with a 2-0 victory. One of the positives to emerge for the home team was the debut display of defender Chris McKenna, who had

been signed from rival Mornington a few days earlier. Senior coach Danny Verdun is one win away from smashing a five-year hoodoo at Frankston Pines as the club recorded a 3-1 away win against Mooroolbark on Saturday, its fourth success this season. Pines won just four games in both the 2008 and 2010 seasons. It won two games in 2009 and last year had just a solitary win. “It was our best display this year,” Verdun said. “We were behind 1-0 at half-time but the way we came back in the second half was outstanding.” Matt Jensen scored twice after the break and set up big Jima Ruach for the third and decisive goal. Verdun remains in the market to bolster his squad and is understood to be negotiating with a former Knox City striker. Peninsula Strikers led twice in the club’s State League 3 away clash with promotion challenging Heatherton United, but despite Michael Cooke’s opener in the 30th minute and an Alex Calder header early in the second half, the home team ran out a 3-2 victor. Chris Aldonato, a former Bulleen, Sandringham, Bentleigh Greens and Pines player, made his debut for Strikers after signing from Mornington and coach Jamie Skelly plans to use Aldonato in a central midfield or wide left role in coming weeks. Baxter slumped to its third successive loss in Provisional League 3, going down 3-2 at Dendy Park against Old Brighton Grammarians.

“It was a poor effort in what I saw as a very winnable game,” Baxter coach Jim Morrison said. Baxter livewire Blake Hicks put the visitor ahead after five minutes, but poor defending saw Old Brighton take a 3-1 lead before Francis Beck reduced the deficit with 20 minutes left. Morrison’s first team squad has been boosted by the recent inclusion of Anthony Famularo and Tony Orr, and the Baxter boss is understood to be negotiating with an experienced local striker. Skye United’s away game against Boroondara Eagles was postponed the day before the scheduled Saturday clash. The match has been rescheduled to 8 September. Rounds 10 and 11 fixtures: Friday 22 June, 8.30pm: Croydon City v Frankston Pines (Dorset Recreation Reserve). Saturday 23 June, 3pm: Malvern City v Langwarrin (Kooyong Park), Old Scotch v Peninsula Strikers (Willsmere Park), Seaford Utd v Bayside Argonauts (North Seaford Reserve), Old Carey v Skye Utd (Wilcox Field, Carey Sports Complex), Baxter v Eltham Redbacks (Baxter Park).

Bound for Wagga FRANKSTON YCW’s Byron Barry and Ash Eames, and Mt Eliza’s Scott Simpson are in the Victorian Country Football League state squad. Cranbourne gun and MPNFL Sharks skipper Justin Berry also has an invite. Three squads have been named this season – Victorian state squad, Victoria 2 state squad and Under-19 state squad. Sorrento forward Dalton Sanderson, Crib Point’s Dean Warry and Rye skipper Rhett Sutton are in the Victoria 2 squad. They will be joined by Casey-Cardinia Division players Beau Miller (Tooradin) and Matthew Wade, Daniel Mislicki (Beaconsfield) and Kain Baskaya (Narre Warren). Somerville’s Rohan Hoegenbirk was selected in the Under-19 squad, along with Karingal’s Bryce Kellerman, Blake Hicks of Bonbeach and Chelsea duo Nathan James and Jackson Arthur. Casey-Cardinia players in the squad are Chris

McKay (Berwick) and Adam Giobi (Narre Warren). Both senior teams will compete in the 2012 Australian Country Football Carnival in Wagga Wagga on 19-22 July. The carnival will be a round robin format with six teams playing on the first two days with finals on Sunday 22 July. The VCFL is the reigning titleholder of the Australian Country Football Carnival. Hawthorn legend Peter Knights is again at the helm of the Victoria team. John Cossar continues as the senior coach of the No. 2 team. The squads will be cut to 25 players for the carnival. The Under-19 team will compete against the VAFA Under-19s at Elsternwick Park on Sunday 15 July. Damian Sexton continues as coach. Toe Punt

Pies take on Eagles in prelim final rematch, Dees and Giants vie for crucial four points Round 13 previews Friday 22 June Sydney v Geelong, SCG, 7.50pm Friday night footy returns to the SCG when the Swans play the Cats. Both teams had a bye on the weekend so we can expect some rusty skills in the first quarter. The Swans in their last game played three flawless quarters of footy to beat the Bombers by four points. Sydney played a freeflowing, skilful, running game lead by midfielders Jude Bolton, Ryan O’Keefe and Josh Kennedy. The Cats also had a good win when they beat Carlton by 12 points. At this stage Geelong is just rolling along, winning the games it is expected to. Being at the SCG will give the Swans an advantage. Sydney by 27 points.

The two young forwards Liam Jones and Ayce Cordy presented well all day and took some nice grabs.

In the match of the round, the first and third placed teams meet to “replay” last year’s qualifying final. Collingwood comes into the game nice and fresh after a week in Port Douglas and Eagles off a nice win against Carlton. There was so much to like about the win; the Selwood brothers kept Chris Judd quiet, the young midfield of Gaff, Shuey and Rosa tore holes in Carlton and Jack Darling was an imposing forward target. The Blues came back twice but the Eagles were composed enough to hold them off. The big question for Collingwood is will Scott Pendlebury play? Should be a cracking match, but the Magpies at home should win. Collingwood by 11 points.

kicking six goals and winning the ball at both ends. For the Bombers their history of losing in June continued when they were upset by Sydney. Inaccurate goalkicking let them down, despite a nine-goal last quarter that ultimately was too little too late. The Bombers have a shocking record in Western Australia, losing their last six games. Fremantle by 18 points.

get a much-needed win. The young Giants may be a bit overawed in their first game at the ’G. Melbourne by 4 points. North Melbourne v Adelaide, Etihad Stadium, 4.40pm Despite winning against the Gold Coast, the Kangaroos need to keep winning form to stay with the secondplaced Crows. The Roos were very unconvincing in the match against the Suns and could not create any sort of lead, instead letting them back in the contest. The Crows had a similar match against the Saints; they also couldn’t kick away and hurt the Saints on the scoreboard, eventually getting over the line by four points. Medium-forward Jason Porplyzia is having a great season after missing all of 2011 with a knee injury; he’s proved the ultimate support act for the Tippett and Walker show. Adelaide by 57 points.
